CHAPTER XIV
Rlmon Turner had given Dave very
definite Instructions concerning Ms
embassy.tv Hudson. “The ttr*| thing
lid* Ilruce will do,” Simon had said,
"Is to hhnt up Hudson—the one living
man that witnessed that agreement
between Reas snd old Folger, One
teaeon Is that he’ll want to verify
Linda’* story, The next Is to per-
suade the old man to go down to the
court* with him as Ids witness. And
wlmt you have to do is line him up
for our stile first."
“You tbtnk—■* Dave’s eye* wan-
dered about the room, "you think
that’s the best way?’’
"I wouldn't be lellln’ you to do It
If I didn’t think *o.” Simon laughed—
p sudden, gritty syllable. "Dave, you're
a bloodthirsty devil. I see what you're
thinking of—of a safer way to keep
him from telling. But you know the
Word I sent out. ‘Go easy!' That’s
the wisest course to follow at present.

to such things than they used to; the

If he’ll keep still tot a hundred, let

Dave supped hla rifle Into g|e hol-
low of Ids arm and continued o* down
.the trail. He didn’t try to stalk. In
n moment Hudson heard hla step and
looked up, They met In a circle 4f
firelight. ' .
It Is not the mountain way to frater-
nize quickly, nor are the mountain
men quick»to slww astonishment.
Hudson bad not seen another human
being since his last vtsh to the settle-
ments. Yet his voice indicated no
surprise at this visitation.
"Howdy,” he grunted.
“Howdy,v Dive replied. "How about

“Help yonreelf. Supper Juat ready.”
Dave helped hlmSelf to the food of
the man that, a moment before, he
would have Main; nnd in the light of
the high fire that followed the meil,
lie got down to the real busmens of
the visit
“I suppose you’ve forgotten that
little deed you wltneesed between old
Mat Folger and Ross—twenty years
ago,” Dave began easily, his pipe be-
tween his teeth,
Hudson turned with a cunnft^nig

Dave speculated. It was wholly
plain that the old man had not yet
heard Of Bruce's return. There was
no need to mention him. "We’re glad
you are our friend," Dave went on.
“But we don’t expert no one to stay
friends with us unless they benefit to

furs do you hope to take this year!"
