Dona was at the door. "No. and 1
Bhan't." She slipped out, waving him
a kiss as she went.
"Her old man over again," Asper
-U..ed to his desk. But he was
worried and determined to have a de
pendable man watch Dona and ride
with her every place she went.
Doaa found the Chinese cook in i
the mess kitchen eager to serve bis
white mistress. She saw nothing of
Dudley and concluded tbat he was off
negotiating for a hurse and gun. As
she walked out of the, dining room
she aoticed a poster tacked on the
i.oor and stopped to rend it. In large
black letters the following legend
thrust itself out at her:
KEWAUD FOlt STAN BALL
DEAD UK ALIVE
$500X0
Th- notice was sigucd, 'Mil tec
Swergin, Deputy Sheriff." There
was no picture of the despemdo and
no description. Dona liiigoced far
several minutes before it. Stome
strange fawination held her. Finalir
she turued and swung down Hie
street toward the corrals.
