Chapter 34
TAKEN PRISONER
The sheriff's eye travelled swift
ly over Marlon. Convinced of the
truth of her statement that she
hadn't a gun, he motioned her to
one side.
"You keep out of this now,"
ordered. "I'll be wanting you
answer some questions later."
Striding past her, Zcke Parley
crossed .over to Ted's bunk, Just
as one or nis posse was making
rope fast about Ted's wrist and
ankles.
Thought you'd given us the
slip, didn't you?" he gloated. "Well
It ain't so easy In these parts
get past the law."
to
Ted, who had been so rudely
awakened from a sound sleep, took
rapid measure of the situation. He
struggled to a sitting position and
faced the sheriff with steady eyes.
"I don't know what this la
aoouv ne declared. "If you're
looking for murderers, the man to
find is Scrap Johnson. He did his
best to murder me, and darn near
succeeded."
"We've found him." the sheriff
answered grimly, "with a bullet
through his temple."
Prom what Ted had overheard
from the first searching party that
had passed the shack, he was pre
pared for this answer, but his ex
presslon of intense surprise couldn1
have been more natural, If It had
been real. It was up to him, he
ML to tell a straight and con
vincing story of what had haDDened.
and not complicate It by anything
ne nad overheard.
"Never from any shot of mine,
Ted explained. "I was taking
drink of water, and turned around
to see him stealing up on me and
pulling his gun. I got the drop,
and my shot went wild. It might
have nipped him, but It never hit
a bull's eye like a shot in the tern,
pie. But even If It hsd. It was I
plain case of self defense. He'
"You can tell that at the trial.'
zeke Parley broke In gruffly. "8am
Cutter'll be here any time now.
and he'll take you In charge. Scrap
Johnson was murdered Just over
ine Idaho state line, so that means
you'll be tried In Clear Water Ba
sin.
"You may as well know, though.
he added, "that your story's full of
holes. The bullet that killed Scrap
jonnson came from your gun. We
've got both the gun and the bul
let, and the report Just came In
yesterday."
Teds surprise at this statement
was genuine and mixed with In
credulous dismay.
"Must be some mistake there!"
He caught Marlon's eyes on him.
with a mut warning In their brown
depths, and the angry retort he
was about to make died on his lips.
8he was right about going alow!
Anything he said now might be
twisted to count against him. The
only thing to do was to go peace
ably, and trust Justice and fairness
to acquit him at the trial.
A shout from the woods broke
In on them. A minute later 8am
Cutter and his posse came stamp
ing up the steps and crowded Into
the shack.
In the confusion, while Zeke Par
ley was explaining the situation
to the new arrivals, Marlon slip
ped around beside Ted.
"Try to get them to leave you
here a few days longer," she whis
pered, "and don't mention Dad
whatever you dot"
8h shrank back, as Bam Cutter
came over toward them. He was a
powerful buvd with t bull dog Jaw
By
and a shrewd glint In his squinted
gray eyes.
He took both Ted and Marlon in
for a minute without speaking.
Then he said, with heavy sarcasm,
"I'm sorry to break up your little
outing, but your boy friend will
have to come along with me."
Marion flushed at his tone, and
an angry oath escaped Ted In spite
or his resolve to keep cool.
"But for this young lady. I'd be
dead now," he declared. "She has
nursed me through this crisis, and
anyone who Insults her will have
me to reckon with later." He
glared at the men crowded around
him.
He Isn't strong enough to be
moved yet," Marlon broke In, but
Sam Cutter Interrupted with a
hoarse laugh.
"I reckon he'll stand the trip."
he Jeered. "And If he doesn't,
that'll save us Just so much trou
ble." He motioned to his men to
get Ted outside.
I can ride, all right, If you'll
untie my ankles," Ted protested.
"You needn t worry about mv try.
ing to make a break. I'm as anxious
as you are to get this thing cleared
up."
Sam Cutter gave him a long look
and curtly ordered his men to cut
the ropes that bound his feet to
gether.
"I ain't worrying about his mnk
lng a break," he remarked, "and
It'll be a whole lot easier going.
He turned to Zeke Farley. "Thanks
for the tip about this bird. I'll try
to do is much for you some day.
reckon the girl friend comes In
your territory." He gave Marlon
boldly admiring look, and added
facetiously, "Some guys have all
the luck!"
Without giving Ted a chance
to have a word with Marlon, they
hustled him out. Zeke Farley mo
tioned for his men to follow and
wait for him outside.
Left alone with Marlon, he stud-
led her carefully.
8he waited, resolved to have him
break the silence. With every
nerve tense, she was determined
not to say anything that could be
used against Ted, or that would
Involve her father. She was thank
ful that she hsd Zeke Parley to
deal with Instead of Bam Cutter.
whom she put down as a bully and
brute.
"Lets hear your story now." Zeke
Parley said finally. His voice was
more gentle, but none the less firm.
There's not much to tell." Ma
rlon answered. "I came out early
one morning to find Ted Oaynor
crawling across the clearing dellrl
ous and apparently dying from loss
of blood. How he ever got as far
as this. I don't know. I got him
In Just before the storm broke, and
naturally did what I could for him.
He pulled through, but It was a
narrow squeak."
Had you known Oaynor be
fore?" the sheriff asked.
I never saw him In my life be
fore," Marlon answered, looking
straight Into Zeke Parley's eyes.
"Humph!" was his only com
ment, but his eyes held an un
willing admiration for Marions
straightforward manner.
