Matt watched dis- dainfully. His mistake had been in bothering the man_at all, for everyone knew that Trenouth was man of unimpeachable veracity. But he would have nothing new to tell, so it didn’t matter. No _ regular messenger had thought to tell him of the pro- posed court. Byt a neighbor, on eing informed, had ridden past with the word. Trenouth would ordinarily have djsregarded it, but now he was interested. He} had set out, hoping to be in time. There had been some delay alon; shied violently as they ssed a clump of trees and brush, but it was the hired man who saw the; cause and pointed. “Look over <here,” he said. What they saw was a log, where a big tree had fallen years before and was gradually rotting. Under the side of it some smal! animal, perhaps a skunk or fox, had been digging, as the hole showed. It had unearthed some buried object, and the blood <tains on that had no doubt attracted it in the first place, These, coupled with the strong odor of the digger, had spooked Trenouth’s horse. “This was what that varmint had dug up,” Trenouth reported, and lifted it dywn from his sad- dle. Matt Tarson watched, giving no outward sign of the ng 4 in him. It had not occurred to hi that some animal would smell! the blood and unearth that sack of money which he had cached, “We saw what it was, an’ brought it straight here,” Tre- nouth added. “The varmint that dug it up had been plumb dis- gusted, I guess. Wasn’t nothin’ to it that he liked except the smell.” “Let's have a better look and count it,” Kriebs suggested. Quentin opened the sack on the grass, Something else lay amon: the money—a small object whic! caused Matt Tarson to veer mare the road.

He'd used the knife to cut the bloody cord, and somehow it had gotten in to the sack. Shocked by the sight | of the stained money, he hadn't thought about the knife again. Now it would hang him—if they could catch him. TEVE’S cayuse had run valiant- ly while the dark endured. But now, in the early dawn, the poor The next in- stant, a ained, it wa going down in a wild sprawl of isintegration. Kicking loose from the stirrup, Steve landed on his feet. A lung- ing shoulder spun him half around, almost knocking him down, and he grabbed desperately at a wickedly raking horn, scram- bling wildly to a seat on the steer’s back. Steve clung, the press of bodies hampering his new steed.

His left ankle had | been twisted, and if no bones were actually broken, it was in such bad shape that he'd do no walk- ing for a day or so. His ankle was swelling, becom- ng painfully tight in the boot. Steve pulled that off and ex- amined it, finding a temporary relief, then found it impossible to get the boot on again. His gun was gone, lost some- where in the hurly-burly of the night. The land was empty as the sun came up, It was well along in the after- noon when a rider appeared. He came nearer on a faltering horse, foam from crimson nostrils blend- ing with blood on lacerated sides. Steve saw that the course he fol- lowed would take him past some’ distance away, that he had not seen him at all. This man rode like a fugitive, not a man search- ing for another. _ Steve stood, waving and shout- ing, until convinced that the rider had seen him, For a while, the other held his course, then swung his horse. In that moment Steve recognized him. Matt Tarson. Matt came on, allowing his horse to slow to a walk, He dis- mounted while a stone’s throw distant and advanced on foot.
