ROSSER stopped before a lit
flr lunchroom, called Montana
Bats.. -; Vv, f ? -
. The place had a lunch counter,
'with eight stools and enough
,room for three tables. It was
1 about half filled with' customers.
,A Chinese cook could be seen
through the opening that led in
to the kitchen. A handsome
.woman of about 30 was behind
1 the counter. - ' '
, ' She came up as Rosser took 0
stool. "Steak, beef stew, 1 steak
and beef stew,!' she said. "Cof
'fee, tea or coffee."
"Which do you recommend?"
"Neither," the woman retorted,
"the beef's tough and two days
old,, but it's the best there is,
and you look like -you've got a
healthy set of teeth. Better have
black . coffee, the milk's turning
sour." - ..
' . "I'll leave it to you."
"Then it's thf beef stew." She
went to the opening into the
kitchen and gave the order. She
turned, looked back along the
counter. .
"Don't I know you?"
"Ogallala," Rosser said.
. . She winced. "You were the
tewn marshal. Tom Rosser." A
cloud came over hen features.
1 "Nine years ago, no, let's face it,
11 years ago. I I was 17 years
old.!,,
- "You were a very pretty girl,"
Rosser said, then adflcd quickly,
('you've improved." '
"Improved?" Bitterness came
' into her voice. "I've pent 1 1
years going from town to town."
, "You own this place?";
"It isn't much, but what there
l, I own.. Every stick,, every
plate and saucer." She cocked
her head to one side. "My name
is Mary Donley. - That's my real
name."-. , ,-
A MAN who was easily six feet
four, weighing in the neighbor
hood ot 240, got ap from one of
the tables and came forward. His
face looked as if it had once en
countered the kick of a horse. 1 .
He said, "I heard your name,
Rosser." 1
Rosser half turned, looked over
hia shoulder. "Yes?" i
"I wasn't in the Palace when
you come in this afternoon,'' the
big man said, "but they told me
you was throwing your ' weight
around." " ' - -
"You heard wrong."
"I hope so, on account of I
ivork for Mr. Condor and my
iob's throwing out people 1 who
get rough in bis place' He
showed blackened teeth In a
sneer. "My name's Flon. Re
member it." "
"Your bill's a dollar, Flon,"
snapped Mary Donleyf
1 "I never paid more'n 75 cents."
"From here on it's a dollar.
From you .. ." : - J
Flon took a silver dollar from
his pocket, tossed it to the coun
ter in front of Rosser. c
."Later," said -Flon, "I'll catch
you later. Be a pleasure.". His
hand still in nis pocicei, no lurnea
and walked for the door. -
The door closed on Flon. Mary
Donley turned to Rosser, "I'm
sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry " about,
Everv town has its Flon." t
"He broke a man's arm last
week." -.:v .-
"He's broken heads, too, I Im
agine, but someday a man half
his size will send a bullet into
him."
. "Bef stoo," yelled the Chinese
rook. - - '
Mary Donley went off and
brought Rosser his food. Rosser
was still eating some 10 minutes
later when Wes Porker, the sher
iff, came in and seated- himself
on the stool beside Rosser.
Town's buzzing," he observed
quietly.
"The big fellow wno was in
here a little while ago?" - -
"Flon? No, I, hadn't heard
aoout that." The sheriff frowned.
"He's a sort of bodyguard for
Riley Condor. Don't know where
Condor picked him up, but he's
mean . . and strong as a buffalo
bull." He paused. "Your show
down with the tinhorn, Taven-
ner."
"I had a brush with him in St.
Paul."
He doesn't amount to much,
but Sim Akins, Condor's lookout,
has been making big talk."
t.
ROSSER hesitated. "This
Akins ... he says I've lost my
nerve? Is that it?"
"He was just talking."
"But that's the gist of it?"
"I think he talks too much for
a righting man." He grimaced.
"So does Honsinger, for that
matter. But Honsinger's got a
record.", ' . - ' ,
"Parker," said Rosser wearily,
"I've seen all of the fancy gun
boys. 1 met John Wesley Hardin,
'way back in '71. s I watched Wild
Bill Hickok dot i's in a sign. 100
feet away., I even knew Jacob
Bartleg, who could shoot rings
around Wild Bill. Johnny Hon
singer's no better than any of
those chaps." -
"Probably not as good. .But
Wild Bill's dead" -1 !
"Killed by a man nobody ever
heard of."
- "And John Wesley Hardin's in!
Huntsville Prison. Downed. by a'
Texas Banger nobody ever heard
of. Pat Garrett got Billy the Kid
and Wyatt Earp hung up his
guns.'!' A furrow creased Park
er's forehead. "The . point , is,
Johnny Honsinger's the best or
the worst who's still around. At
least he thinks he is, and that's
important. Honsinger'd like noth
ing better than to go up against
"a man like me?" "
Parker nodded. "He'll prove
