COPYRIGNW RS BY BEGIN MERE TODAY Dick Acklin, big hoss of the Double A ranch, takes a lynching party to the ranch of Nuck Rodine when he| hears that Ruck is the instigator of | the blowing up of 4 dam bullt by the Double A Acklin finds Mercedes Arraseada in tears at Hodine laee and Bhorty, one of Nodine's men, dead on the floor Riaze Kildare of the Double A is an unseen speciator of | all that happens inside the eabin NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Mercedes bit her finger nails nery ously under the searching serutiny of Acklin's eyes, Her very excitement made her seem guilty to him The erying child brought back to the man & recollection of Esteban's words Bodine had taken care of the child then! She had come, too! In some way she had got rid of his man, Melody, His voice rose to a opened his mouth to sp “8o you're getting ready to skip with Bodine, eh? That's your little plan, 18 it? You forget it! He's done all the traveling he's going to do You'll go with me when I leave here Aw-w-wh! Who did that?"” He pointed to Shorty. “She did!" Bodine cried, wiping the blood from his scratched face. “Pulled my gun out and got him from the door there!" “Is that right?"" Acklin bellowed, Mercedes covered her face with her hands. He could hear her sob as she turned away. It was answer enough | for him. “They'll take you to jall for this" he grumbled. He stopped to mutter to himself, Then: “No, they won't elther! I'll fix that!” He came close to Bodine, Buck's| nerve had returned in a measure. “You won't take her away from| me, Ackiin; not that way," he cut In before the Big Boss could speak. But| Acklin laughed in his face for his| pains, “You have your little joke, dine,” he warned. “Your short enough.” Buck's face paled a trifie at the studied ease with which the man be- fore him uttered this statement. “What you hintin’ at now?" he de- manded. “When my men get here you'll find out. You didn't think you could get away with what you pulled on me to- night, did you? You bossed this deal!” Bodine's lips twitched uneasily. Had that fool kid given him away? His poker eyes searched Acklin's face for some sign of bluffing, but he found nothing to reassure him. “You ain't goin' to have me arrest- ed on that bosco's word, are you,” he asked. “No. Bodine,"” The directness of this statement blanched the big fellow's face. They were going to do without the law; {hat was what Acklin was saying! The blood along Buck's spine grew cold for a briet second. But his concern passed. He had been in dire straits before and lived through. He summoned a grin to his mouth now and laughed derisively, pretending not to understand the innuendo. “You're all cut up about your dam, ain't yuh?" The laugh died out of | Eodine's volce. ‘You forget how the water was tricked out of the Rebel s0 that you could build your dam! When I tell my story to a jury, you'll go into eclipse.” “The jury that's going to hear your case will use a ropel You get that, Bodine. By the time the coroner comes to get this thing on the floor, ' the buzzards will be picking your bones. There won't be anybody but me to say how this man got shot.

There wouldn't be any delay now. This affair was going through to its sordid finish. Bodine’s face was ghastly. Without knowing why he did it, Kildare walked past him into the kitchen. There seemed to be some delay out- side. He could hear a murmur of voices. Bodine's rifle stood in the corner. Blaze picked it up and threw a shell into the barrel. In the past he had pondered at some length over acquiring this gun.
