Only the Brave
By PAUL EVAN LEHMAN
(JhmpUr 13
As Jeff pushed back his chair he
neara a itnocic ou uie suircneu owi
"Who in it?"
"John Stover."
He opened the door and the town
marshal came in. "Gieason not
home?" . ,
Jell explained that Olenn hadn't
returned from Briscoe. "Come In
and have some supper, he Invited
'Thanks: I might at that." Sto
ver entered and sat down at the
?tace Jeff had fixed for Olenn
hey ate a while in silence, then
Stover spoKe.
"I been looltin' for Oleason the
best Dart of the week. Never seem
to find him home. There's a cou-'l
pie points I got to get straigm
ux.ui mat ioison moului.
"What Doints?"
"Well. Sam's position, for one.
Seems kinda funny that Bud Bny
der should find powder mark&
around the wound.
"I can exDlaln that. I heard about
the powder marks and asked Glenn
about U. bam wasn t in tne aoor
way: he'd Juat trot a nun from thai
table by the bunk and handed it
to Glenn. He took a step or two
towards tne door and uienn couia
see him against the light outside
It was dark in the cabin, and it
looked as though Sam was standing
In the doorway, but in reality he
was only five or six feet from the
w'ndow. Slug probably Just pushed
his gun through the pane and let
hint have It. That way the muzzle
of the gun wouldn't be much more
than two feet from Sam's head."
"And right clow to Gleason's,"
added the marshal dryly.
"It was. He said It was.
"Hm-rn. Might be the way you
ay."
"Anything else?"
"Yes. The gold. It disappeared
and Gleason was alone with Sam
while the others ran up on the
bench. And Oleason knew Sam
had It, for he played poker with
bun nearly every night."
This was news to Jeff, but he
hid his surprise. "At the cabin?1
"No. At Mike Pacheco's place
across the street, played a right
sun game. too. one 01 me ooys
that sat in with him said Gleason
musta dropped six. seven hundred
dollars in a couple nights."
Jeff mentally stiffened. There
was nothing to say to this except
to deny it, ana mac would De looi
Ish without first talking with Olenn
But he was sum the one who told
Stover this must have exaggerated
Glenn didn't have six or seven
hundred dollars to lose to begin
witn. unless
He felt a slow anger kindle with
In him. If Glenn had lied to him
when he said he was broke. If he
had gambled away the money Jefl
had worked so hard to provide
nun witn -i
The marshal went on. "But that
ain't all that's puzzlln' me." He
shoveled a knlfeful of beans Into
his mouth, chewed energetically,
then washed them down with a
swallow of coffee. "Gleason emp
tied his gun through the window
at Slug, accord! n' to his story. Now
there were five fired cartridges in
that gun. The fellers seen him
punch 'em out while he told them
the story, and he borrowed five
fresh ones to reload it with. That
means he fired five shots. But If
Slug shot Sam. he musta fired a
shot. too. Tli at makes six shots
In all. Of all the fellers that that
heard those shots, only one of 'em
had sense enough to count 'em.
And he only counted five."
"Meaning Just what?"
"Well, if only five shots were
fired, and Olenn fired all of them.
Slug didn't shoot Sam."
"Which Is the same as saying
that Glenn did." Cold anger stir
red in Jeff, but he spoke calmly
enough. "The fellow was mistaken;
or one of those cartridges could
have been fired by Sam before he
gave tne gun to uienn.
"Maybe said Stover, but Jeff
could see that he was skeotlcaL
"Look here, John: If you're try
ing to pin Sam's murder on Glenn,
you might as well forget It. The
ooy naa no motive ior Killing oam
Slug did. It was common knowl
edge that Slug intended to get Sam
and there Isn't any doubt that he
was In the gulch and that he'd left
his horse on the bench."
That's what Oleason says. No
body else seen that horse."
"But It wasn't Oleason who shot
at the men who ran up there! Oosh
man, you're stubborn. Then Olenn
wherever
you are
Mr 11

uidn t know where Sam kept his
gold; if Slug was watching the
place, as we're pretty certain he
was. he could have seen Sam dui
it in that cigar box. And 1 found.
out mat biug couid get tne dust out
oi that box by stretching his arm
uirough the broken window. If
you don't believe me, go down
mere ana try it yourseu.
Stover pushed back his chair
and got to his feet. "Well, you sure
make out a fine case for Oleason.
You ought to be the lawyer instead
of him, I'll drop in some other
Urne and talk to Gleason; mean
while I got a couple other hunches
to follow up. Thanks for the meal.
I'll be seein' you."
He went out and Jeff heard the
thud of his boots in the alley.
Vov ten. fifteen seconds he stood
there, turning over in his mind
the questions that Stover had
raised. He was still a bit stunned
at the knowledge that Glenn had
been playing poker for big
stakes.
And then the eveninr oulet wa
shattered by a shot. It came from
the direction of me alley an-1 sound
ed only a short distance away.
He opened the kitchen door and
stood looking up me dark alley,
Liieu went out ana siartea toward
the 'point from whence the shot
had come. He saw a dark figure
enter the alley from the direction
of the street, and a moment later
a match flared In the darkness.
He broke into a run, noticing that
the man who had struck the match
was bending over looking at some
thing on the ground.
He was lying on his face. Jeff
leaned over and turned him, know
ing as he did so who it was. The
man, beside him sucked in his
breath.
"Holly smoke! It's John Sto
ver."
"Bv lacks! Sliiir Jtwnt-tt he'rl tret1
him, and he sure did!"
