Only the Brave
By PAUL EVAN LEHMAN
(Chapter 14)
Ken came running and some
boay letcliea a lauitrn. Joan Stover,
liae Sam Tolaon, had btxu ahol m
tne bacx ol Uie head.
"Uauinl" sua Jell kuddenly, and
the crowd husned. i"rom lar be
yond the town came the lamt tou
ot iiooli
"Tfiai'd be Slug," eeid aomebody.
Be (wore to get bam and h rmon
to get John."
Jell ent back Into Glenn's house.
He was thinking aoout stover anu
the auestioiu he would never .
A horse came walking- along the
passageway beside the house and
baited at the stable, and Jell went
to the door In time to see Glenn
awing to the ground.
"Got tied up in Briscoe and dldn t
leave until after noon. Jell. I
think I've struck a gold mine over
there. How's tricks?"
"Tell me about yourself. You say
jou got some business?"
-Yea. Little Mult, mostly Wills,
deed, and some oriels tor a law
llrm. But It'll grow."
"Good. By the way. John Sto
ver was shot a ahorl time belore
you pulled In."
Olenn looked up quickly. "Sto
rer? The marshal?" His lace har
dened. "So Slug Benjamin got him
t last."
"Probably. John had supper here
With me Just belore It happened."
"What was Biover aomg jjbicc
"Looking lor you."
-Yes?"
He wanted to clear up the num
ber of shots you fired at Slug
Somebody swears there were Just
live. You were seen to reload Sam's
gun with five fresh shells, and If
you fired all five shots John de
clares Slug couldn't have shot Sam.
Do you remember how many you
Jlred?"
"Sure. Four. The fifth time I
pulled the trigger there was Just
click. I know there were five
empties In that gun. but Sam must
have fired one himself. The fel
low counted correctly, but Slug
most certainly did kill Sam. There
1 no doubt aoout tnai at an.
.Toff f.lt relieved.
He got up and walked to the
window. He hated to do what he
had to do. but fairness to uienn
demanded It. He turned suddenly
and came back to the table. "Sto
ver said one of the boys told him
you'd dropped something like six
or seven hundred dollars In a few
nights. Now that Isn't true. Is it?"
Glenn didn't reply for a mo
ment. "I'm afraid It Is, Jeff," he
aald at last. "Not auite that much
In all I lost something like live
bundred and twenty dollars.
"But you aald "
"That Slug didn't pay me. 1
know." He was looking at Jeff with
drawn face and eyea that seemed
to plead for understanding. "I sat
In the gam the night you gave
me the twenty Just to pass away
the time. I lost It. and It made
me mad. I went down to see Slug
and got a live-hundred dollar re
tainer out of him. For a couple
rilghti I held my own, then I had
a run of bad luck and lost It all.
I hao to lie to you, Jeff. I had to
tell you that Slug hadn't paid me.
It was rotten, I know, and I've wor
ried about It ever since, especially
alnc I know you can't afford to
give me what you have. But I'll
make It up to you. 1 swear I Willi"
Jeff reached over and slapped him
on the shoulder. "Forget it. What's
done is done."
Jeff finally aald good night and
left. Wolranger's was atlU open, and
he went In to buy some necessary
aupplles. He gave his order to Hank,
then turned at the sound of a voice
stt his shoulder.
Tlnd your Hereford yet?"
It was Chuck Oils who had
epoken. He searched the man's
face and for the life of him could
read only honest Interest.
"Yes."
Think I took 'em. don't you?"
Tf you were in mv place what
would you think?" Jeff looked at
him steadily.
"Before you leave town tonight
you might drop In at the hotel
and ask Ed Payne where me and
mv boys spent last Sunday. Ed's
aouare; he wont He to you."
He nodded shortly, and left the
tore. Chuck had an alibi as tiitht
as a drum. He and his six men
had remained In town Saturdav
night, and had hung around the
hotel all day Sunday, leaving for
home after dark.
On Thursday, Glenn rode unex
pectedly up lo where he was work-
lnioV
June 1949
ing.
"Jeff he said, "how about rid-
inr to Briscoe with m and see
ing the new layout? We can make
it by tonight .and you can stay
over tomorrow and ride back Sat
urday with me. Doggone It, I've
made a little money and I want
to show you a good tune. You need
a holiday."
Jeb debated a moment, then de
cided to go. They arrived In Bris-1
coe in time to eat a numeo sup
per and attend a performance in I
the Opera House. Friday they spent I
In wandering about the town and
In Olenn's ofltce. Jefr was per
suaded to remain over night In or
der to witness another performance. I
btit on Saturday morning, against
Glenn protest, he started for
nome.
His horse took the branch In I
tne trail which led to the home
stead, and Jeff gazed eagerly to
ward the place where hi cattle
usually grazed. Then he gave
gasp of dismay and spurred his
norse to a last run.
The Hereford were around the
cement pool he had built for water
ing them. They were lying on their
sme still and swollen In death
-roisoneai"
The word was torn from Jeff's
tight .set Hps. Somebody had de
libertelv poi.soned the water in the
pool, with the intent to destroy his
cattle. For a moment he stood
staring as though he cauldn't credit
that which he was seeing: then he I
sagged to nis knees and burled his
lace in nis arms. Tnere is a limit
to every man s courage.
