Only the Brave
By PAUL EVAN LEHMAN
(Chapter 20)
Jeff made some coffee, drank
two cups, men decided to makx
one final round before turning in
' He went down one side of the
street and up the other, then turnec
. Into an alley. Intending to circle
ln that manner to the back ol
Glenn's place. And then, Just as
-he was about to pass Wolfanger's
.-store, he halted In his tracks. A
dim glow lit one of its back wln
dows; so dim that only the Intense
blackness of the alley permitted
torn to perceive it.
He bent over and removed his
Surs. stulflng them into a pocket,
en drew his gun and tiptoed up
the back steps. He pushed gently
against the door and ielt it give
Deiore nim. ne waueu icw ock;-
onds, listening, men stepppeu m
side.
He saw now that the light was
in me more proper, us rays com
ing through a connecting uoorway.
Carefully lie stepped across the
floor to the doorway and lookea
through it. Against the wall was
Hanks big saie anu oeioie u
knelt the shauowv form ol a man
WraDniiiK paper haa been tiea
about, the lantern, permitting oniy
a soft glow by which the fellow
could see to work at tne comoina
tlon. Jeff whipped up his gun
and the barrel struck a broom
which had oeen leaning against
the door frame. The broom fell
with a clattei and Jef's aim was
momentarily disturbed.
Instantly the lantern wick was
lowered and the light flickered out.
"Stay where you are!" said Jeff
narpiy, ana startea iorwura.
There wan a flash and a roar
and he felt the slug as it grazed his
cheek. He took two long steps for
ward and dived at the place where
he thought the intruder to be. He
Heard me swilt snnt 01 ieet, men
crashed headlong into me iron
safe.
Stunned, all the stars in the
firmament dancing oeiore his eyes,
he fell to the floor. He was not un
conscious, but for a few seconds
was powerless to move. A foot
struck him as the fellow stumbled
over him, but he was too aazed to
try to grab it. Then me burglar
wa through the communicating
doorway and pounding down the
back steps.
Jeff struggled to his feet and
staggered across the back room to
the door. From behind the alley
came the drum of hoofs which told
of me fellows flight. Jeff s horse
was in Glenn's stable, two full
blocks away. He shook the dizzi
ness off and went back to the
tore. Tearing me paper from the
' lantern, he touched match flame to
' wick. The safe had not been open
!ed, but on the floor in front of it
, was a gauntlet riding glove. He
nicked It ud and turned it about.
.examining It closely.
A man leaped up the back steps,
'came rushing across the back
'room floor and halted abruptly in
the doorway. It was Ed Wade, the
; night deputy, and his cocked gun
jWas pointed at Jeff. He recognized
jilliu tuiu luweieu tne weapon.
, "Oh, it's you, boss. What hap
.oened?"
I "Somebody tried to open Hank's
'saie. i maae a aive lor mm ana
found how hard iron Is by smash
'.ing my fool head against it."
"Get a shot at him?"
I "No: but he got one at me.
.Missed. He left his calling card
i behind him. Look at this, Ed."
I Wade took the glove and held it
'close to the light. He examined its
'.outer surface, then turned back the
ouff. exposing the lining,
j "Huh! Got his initials here in
link. S. B. Why that's Slug Ben
, Jaminl"
- "S. B. stands for something else,
'too: but in either case it means
'Slug Benjamin." He picked up the
.lantern and started for the back
door. "There's one thing I want to
'check on right now. Come along.
lEd."
. He led the way to the alley, and
'In a few minutes had found where
the burglar's horse had been tied.
He held the lantern close to the
ground and examined the tracks.
.Then he gave an exclamation of
, satisfaction.
. "What Is It?" asked Ed, peering
.at the prints.
.Toff nnlntul T nU . tUi
"Broken end calk."
' "Yes, Ed, I found me tracks of
the feller who shot John Stover.
,The left hind shoe had a broken
end calk Just like this."
. "Huh I Well, reckon there wasn't
much doubt as to who shot John:
out now we're certain. This glove
-ies iug Benjamin to mese tracks.
and the tracks you found ties him
lust as tisnt to jonns murderer.
It's shore too bad you can't hang
a Kiner twice."
Glenn rode into Cougar short-1
iv oeiore noon on Sunday and in
sisted upon taking Jeff to me hotel
lor ainner.
"Anything; new in the metrocolls
or ixmgarv"
"Slug Benjamin tried to rob Wolf-
anger's store lact night, Caught
mm wonting on me combination
oi tne saie.
"Caught him I You mean?"
"No. He got away."
"But you're sure it was Slug?
ou recognizea mm?"
"Not by his appearance, but by
a glove he felt behind. It had his
initials on the lining."
Jeff told him of the affair and
mentioned the broken calk on the
shoe of the horse he had tracked.
"Proves beyond anv doubt It was
tjiue wno Killed Jonn stover. II
round the same tracks there in 1
the alley."
"Well, it's contributory evidence.
Better watch your sterj. Jeff . . .
Well, I'll be making tracks for)

"Can't. Today's mv turn on duty.
"Jeff, mv bov. how'd vou like

As aennite as mat. nun?"
"Well. I don't like to take too
