His head was cut open and lay in a pool of blood, His face was scored with scratches, There was blood on his coat and vest and shirt, they found on examination, 'The district attorney ripped open the shirt and found four distinct wounds In the region of Rafe's heart. From one of these wounds protruded the broken end of a broad-bladed Kknife. “Pull it out,”” urged S8am Larder, with a slight shudder, his fat face so . white that it showed green in moonlight. ““Been dead about two hours,” prof- fered the marshal. “About that,” agreed Felix. you lookin’ at, Arthur?” ““This,” replied the district attor- ney, holding up the handle of the butcher knife. With his fingers he traced two ini- tials on the wood. The initials were T.

On the night. of the first of April, fuerilla reached the spring at eleven o'clock., “I thought you were never coming,” announced a peevish voice. “I've been walting here since nine o'clock." “You talk much louder, Bill," said Guerilla calmly, “and you'll wait here a while longer—say about twenty years longer or fifteen, if the judge fecls good-natured. Man allve, ain't you got any sense?" “I was lonesome," himself. “I've got to talk to some- body. And anyway, a feller hardly ever gets more'n ten years for a hold-up when nobody's killed." “But where somebody is killed the penalty is worth considerin’,”” point- ed out Guerilla Melody. "And Tip O'Gorman was found yesterday morn- ing lying on the floor of his front room dead as Julius Ceasar, with your quirt beside him, and your snakeskin hatband inside the door.” “Tip killed! Tip!" “Yes, Tip, and on account of the quirt and the hatband there's a war- rant issued for you for the murder, and two posses are out looking for you." “I saw them,” said Billy placidly.

Hazel Walton in jail! For an instant he couldn't realize it. “What evidence is there Hazel?” Billy cut in sharply. ‘In the first place there's the knife that killed Rafe,” said Guerilla, seating himself beside his friend in the shadow of the rock. ‘Butcher knife with T.

She admitted that, too, but said he'd attacked her, and she'd managed to get hold of his gun after the clock fell on him, and drive him out.” “Is that all?"" asked Billy. “Lemme get my breath,” Guerilla begged indignantly. “No, it ain’t all. I'he district attorney says those sup- plies were bought for you and they were taken by you. Hazel's ridin’ horse, the one used to be her uncle's, | that's gone too—with you.” “If Rale thinks I was at Hazel's, it's reasonable to assume I might have had a hand in killin’ Rafe my own self. That goes double for Dan Slike, seeing he had the knife last.” “'It's reasonable all right, enough, but then you and Dan Slike ain't noways available, and Hazel is right handy.” “But how did Slike get hold of the hutcher knife, that's what I want to know? He didn't have it on him when I arrested him last January.” “That's the damndest part of the whole deal, Bill. Hazel says Dan Slike came to her place before Rafe did, and it was him took the supplies and her horse and her Mat and that very same butcher knife which gave Rafe his come-uppance. Slike beat her almost senseless too, she said.” Billy Wingo looked up at the stars. His lips moved. But no sound issued. After a moment he said, in an oddly dead tone of voice, “How did Slike escape?” N “Far as anybody can tell, he made him a key somehow and unlocked the jail door and walked out. Any ay, Riley Tyler found the door open yesterday afternoon and Dan's cell empty. And the district attorney lost a horse and saddle.” “If there was any kind of a trail it's queer they didn’t run up on Slike at Hazel's.” “That's the funny part of it. The trail led in the opposite direction to- ward Jacksboro. The posse followed it clear to the West Fork of the Wagonjack, where they lost it on the rocky ground on the other side.” “Do you know somethin’, Guerilla?

In the past four weeks Billy had grown a presentable beard, had met up with Johnny Dawson, a friend of his youth, and had three times crossed the trail of Dan Slike. His latest in- formation was that Slike and Jack Murray were inseparable. Finally the morning came when Billy and Dawson believed they had Blike in their grasp. They could hear his rifle as they gazed down from the hill on a scene that had many coun- terparts in the west. A quarter-mile out from the base of the hill was a tiny fire, beyond which lay a hog-tied calf. Beyond the calf a man sprawled behind the body of a pony. He was aiming a rifle at another man ensconced be- low a cutbank bordering a small creek. This second man was not clearly visible. Between this man and the man be- hind the pony were three hundred yards of ground as flat as a floor. Billy swept the background of the cutbank man with his glasses. “There are two horses tied behind a windfall alongside those rocks. Where's the other man?” “There's the other man,” said Daw- son, pointing fifty yards down stream from the cutbank. *“What's he doing —drinking?"” Billy turned his glasses. drinking,"” he said soberly. ihead’s under water.” “I'm sure hoping he Slike,"” Dawson s “Me too.
