began to get Montes hone ready
CHAPTER XVI
Monte Jarrad wag white from lips
to eyes So he done what he
lalmed he done he said
She shrugged the remark had no
meaning for her She started to
turn away from him then looked
back suddenly and now her eyes
raked him with surprise and a new
comprehension
Monte youre wearing his
tuffl
Jarrad answered without compro-
mise Well hes wearing mine
They stood silent and their eyes
held
Monte you were going to kill
bJml You were going to kill him
and leave him to be buried as your
seli
lie would have lied to her If he had
felt like It perhaps even If he had
thought of It But he had fought his
way up and down his section of the
world so long that he had half forgot
the use of lies
Cherry he said if I never
meant to kill him before Id sure
lay In to kill him nowl
To save yourself she said her
throat constricted After all the
chances I made him take You were
going to gun him down and go
free
Only thing Im sorry for Monte
said with his teeth In the way is
I didnt get to It long ago
Far off in the direction of Payne
vllle a long dust was rising The
dust marked the masked line of the
twisting road and when you knew
where the road wasyou could glimpse
part of 10 mile oft through the
scrub oak
The downcountry road was full
of riders
A faint qulvery edge came Into
Cherrys voice but It stayed flat
nd low Its time for you to run
TOfwsjH
Ill ride when Im ready Monte
Jarrad said That dont mean Im
ready yet
He turned toward the back of the
house toward the barn
George Fury lay on a couple of
bales of hay which ranged along
the barns front wall The first
horizontal sunshine was leveling
over Holiday Ridge It struck
through the cracks In the unbat
tened wall and laid golden lines of
light across George Fury but his
face was In shadow The early air
was crystal clear dustless for once
even where the light came through
but those thin panelike slices of
light confused the eye First sight
did not tell Melody much except
that George lay Inhumanly still
George he said uncertainly
lie got no answer nothing but a
ghastly quiet He hesitated through
a moment of dread before he went
forward Lightly he lifted Georges
tyelld with bis thumb
Git your damn thumb out of my
ye George said
1 was only He let It trail off
Only whatt
Well I was study In to see If
you was dald
Well I aint damn It said
George He sounded a little more
like himself I be damn It I aim
to stand fer this
Never mind now George
Well I blame the climate of Call
fornyl
He discovered now Georges
burned hand that had laid In the
coals of Montes Are He caught up
halfused can of axle grease treat-
ed the burn wltb It then looked
round him vaguely for a moment
In search of a bandage There
wasnt anything of course He
Jerked off his neck scarf the one he
bad got for coming In seventeenth
at Cheyenne and unhesitatingly tore
It Into strips
George was trying to say some-
thing again Every time he stopped
talking he had a hard time getting
started again as If his voice was
rusty
If If anything turns out funny
here he hesitated
Melody knew what he meant
Dont try to make out he satd
crossly that youre worse off than
you be
If George repeated I wish to
bell youd do one thing
Whuta that
Give up the brones Melody
WhutT
You cant stomp broncs The
average mustang starts to laugh
when he sees you coming Mighty
soon youll get slung on your head
again and come up even sillier than
you be There aint room fer It
Melody I want you should quit
emIlowiri git a Job
Give up the whole cowhand busi-
ness Its trflinV Try to amount to
omelhing for a change Itll any
Way be something new

frightened Melody 1 111 think
about It George was It Monte
Jarrad
George grunted an affirmative If
It wasnt fer the climate of Call
fornyHesh
Hesh now Expect me to harken
to sech drivel the whole day
Monte Jarrad moved with the stiff
caution his wound Imposed but his
step was sure as he pointed himself
toward the barn Cherry came trot-
ting out of the house after him and
overtook him at the gallery step
She caught Montes arm and he half
turned to look at her for a moment
over his shoulder Cherry tried to
speak to him rapidly urgently but
she stuttered and lost her words
Monte Jarrad shook off her hands
and came on toward the barn
Cherry stared after him from the
edge of the gallery baffled uncer-
tain and more frightened than Mel-
ody had ever seen her She hesi-
tated while Monte walked seven
strides Then suddenly she called
out across the fifty yards which sep-
arated barn and house and her tone
was frantic
Melody Melody look out
Monte Jarrad whirled upon her
so savagely that for a split instant
Melody thought he was going to Arc
on her Melody started to jell
which after all was about all he
Monte youre wearing his stuff
was equipped for just then But
Monte Jarrad immediately swung
back to face the barn again and
his sixgun had jumped Into his
hand He stood with heels planted
apart and his face was frenzied
Come out of there he shouted
Come out and make a fight of HI
Take my gun George Fury
said his voice amazingly strong and
loud Take my gun from mbelt
and drill him down I
Even with Monte Jarrad standing
out in front of him It seemed strange
to Melody that George should ever
ask another man to take his gun
George had no gun His gun was
where it had fallen from his hand
as he went down up there In the
hillsMonte
Monte Jarrad stood weaving his
head this way and that trying to
see through the cracks in the bam
wall a hundred feet away from htm
Then he started toward the barn
again moving warily and uncertain-
ly not sure of what he was up
against now
Then Monte Jarrad stopped again
and pivoted on one heel In a swift
jerk to face a different way He
seemed satisfied now that no gun
was In the barn for he was willing
to turn away from It The distant
muffle of hoofs was closer all of It
but it had split up and now came
from two ways Some of the ap-
proaching horses It sounded like
three or more were coming In full
stretch very near much nearer than
should have been expected yet
Almost Immediately after that
Monte had hardly reached the gal
lery four riders broke over the
crest of the drop where the excuse
for a road plunged downward Into
the brush They were strung out a
little b ut obviously hanging togeth-
er Fever Crick de Longpre was
In front on one of his runt mustangs
he was whipping up side and side
with his ropeend like an Indian
and the blown cayuse was running
uphill like a scrambling cat Avery
deXongpre was close on his flank
his bigger horse kept trying to pass
but the swinging rope made hint
flinch back
After these two Lee Gledhlll came
pounding up over the bump stand
lng In his stirrups to sweep the lay-
out with ten times keener a scouting
eye than the two ahead of him had
used And last came a rider Melo-
dy had never seen before
Monte Jarrad wet waiting for
them on the edge of the gallery Lee
Gledhlll grinned and waved to Monte
as he pulled up and Jarrad respond-
ed without the grin Everybody
Wai last earner so feebly that 11 piled cut of he saddle now Ih

stranger last and most reluctantly
Fever Crick and Lee Gledhlll begat
talking urgently to Monte both at
oncej Their very intensity seemed
to press their voices low and
breathy Melodycouldnt get any-
thing they said He got it though
when Monte Jarrad snapped at Fe-
ver Crick to shut up and Fever
Crick did so flinching back as If
he had been clipped with a quirt
Shortly after that there was a
general halfmovement toward the
horses and the man Melody did not
know promptly mounted again But
Monte Jarrad stood where he was
speaking slowly and bitterly In a
low voice and when he stopped to
spit contemptuously the mounted
man reluctantly got down from the
gray horse He was a stocky man
very broad in the shoulders and
chunky In the face as plain as any-
thing In the world he felt helpless
ond unsafe afoot like a horseIn
dlan
Lee Gledhlll was trying to argue
with Monte hard and quick Melody
knew Lees face was going sniff
sneer Avery kept swinging this
way and that unhappily trying to
watch in all directions And all
this time that unbroken gabble of
hoofs kept coming from the down
mountain road stronger and closer
as each minute dragged out It
grew in strength endlessly long aft-
er It seemingly could come no near-
er without the riders appearing Its
soft unrhythmic thrum could be felt
In the ground sensed in the trem-
ble of the wind as much as it could
be heard Harry Henshaw let go a-
long pealing whinny
And still the Ave men stood and
deadlocked over a decision which
any moment could blow Itself up
like a powder keg
It took care of itself now The
short metallic whang of a bullet ex-
actly like the breaking of a guitar
string ended in the rattling echo of
a rifles voice The head of the gray
horse jerked up and It screamed
Then It sagged to Its knees slowly
and rolled onto its side with a
thump Only Its head did not go
down It lay there looking bewil-
dered as If resting
Avery de Longpre and Lee Gled
hlll tied their horses then They did
It in close to nothing and a fifth and
took cover In the house joining
Monte Jarrad who had moved in-
side without hurry in the same mo-
ment the bullet struck Fever Crick
first dropped his reins entirely and
bolted for the kitchen Then he was
shamed by sight of the others se-
curing their horses and made a
wild spraddlelegged dash at his
cayuse stampeding It past hope It
went crashing down the mountain
Its head held high to one side to
keep from tripping on the trailing
reins Fever Crick scrambled for
cover tripped on the edge of the
gallery and sprawled headlong
through the kitchen door
No other longrange shot followed
the first one Immediately
Now Cherry de Longpre came out
of the house walking steadily and
wearily as If nothing were happen
lng Monte Jarrad called after her
a sharp command that she stay in
She gave some short answer that
Melody could not hear but at he
commanded her again furiously
she spoke over her shoulder to him
and this time everyone heard what
she said
Her tone was soft and nearly life-
less except that It shook a little
but the words were clear Damn
you she said Damn you and
damn you Ill go where I please
and youll burn in hell before you
stop me
Melody satd Im sorry Cherry
For what she whimpered
crossly
She had him there Welljest in
a general way I guess
Nearly forty riders are on the
road she told him crisply now
Lester Cottons pulled them togeth-
er Some of these are good men
Theyll close in to finish this busi-
ness once and for all and this time
theyll do it Get on this horse and
bust him out of here I
Melody Jones rolled his eyes at
George embarrassed and did noth-
ing Cherry thrust the reins Into
his hands
Will you come to life she
begged him If you can show
enough sense just this once In your
life to cut out the bsck way and
not trip up or ride In the wrong
direction or some other silly fool
mistake theres still a little
chance
Melody looked at the relmrln his
hands curiously a If he didnt know
what theywere for then laid th m-
on the edge of a tv obyfour like
something meant to keep on a shell
Heck he said This heres mo
notonous
Shes right George Fury said
from where he lay You cant do
no more damage here
Harry Henshaw1 aint hardly
equal to
Damn Harry Henshaw GUI
Sweat was standing out on George
Furys forehead while at the same
time his teeth showed signs of chat-
tering Physical weakness wag only
part of that The rest of It was
the nervous sense of being trapped
helpless here by his wound while
helltopay broke all around him
But ai Melody still stood wordiest
George closed his eyes and subsld
cd washing hls hands of further 0
