He got to his feet and wiped hia hands on his trousers. “Who knows about this?” he continued. “He ain't been dead long.” Bodine answered him. Had not this good sheriff saved his neck? “I reckon I can tell you about it,” he said. “Acklin kfwws, too. Me and Kildare and the girl were here when it happened. She killed him!” “No,” Land groaned, unable to be. Neve his ears. “Not that little girl there.” “That's who I mean. She pulled my gun out of my holster and fired from the doorway.” The sheriff shook his head tneas- fly. His deputies—all Paradise men —<auzht their breath Ac&lin glared at Bodine. Kent placed his arm about Mer- eades’ shoulders. “You didn’t do this, honey, did you?” he murmured. “I... I. 4 « Téont don't know,” she sobbed. “I came to get Balilio. Bodine had him. He ‘would not let me go. He sald I must fo away with him. . . I would not do that. He made the other man hurt the baby. He was . . ." A Sob choked her. Land's Basque deputies muttered angrily and the Double A men scowled at Bodine. Before Mercedes could go on, Acklin got the sheriffs attention. “She don’t know what she’s my- ing.” he cried. “She's in no condi- tion to know what she did. You can’t take the word of a hysterical girl, 1 know what happened. Kildare was here; he knows also. Bodine’s trying to save his own skin. 1 ain't going to see this girl thrown into jail. I tell you, Bodine did it!” The Big Boss turned until his eyes met Kildare’s: They stared at each other for a full second before Acklin continued. The crowd caught the Geadly intentness of that glance. It held its breath again. The Big Boss turned back to the sheriff. “You ask Kildare if what I say isn't so.” The words clicked off his tongue. Land arched his eyebrows, “Well?” he demanded. It grew quiet. The crowd waited fer Kildare's answer. He began to shake his head. He was speaking. ‘The crowd strained its ears. “That's not what happened,” they heard him say. He was about to go on when the Kitchen door flew open and Big Ho- Mer, Acklin’s Kelly creek foreman, to de he sald. “I'l “Guess that's #0,” ble you for it Blaze answered He broke it and threw out th shell he had snapped ir It was daytight by now meditation watch.

We'll need some luck before this thing's over.” Buck had scented a possible ally in Blaze, He saw that Kildare and Acklin were against each other. Blaze wanted to shout: Bodine had killed Jose! Land called for order, His depu ties had their guns ready “Watch Bodine,” Blaze whispered to Kent as Land began speaking “I want it quiet now,” tho sheriff was saying. “We can’t go on with all this commotion.

ADVEN OF THE THE TWINS “Now, let’s see! There are several charges against you” ‘The Twins stood in front of Gen- eral Hobbledehoy of the tin soldier army. They were wondering what was going to happen.
