Only the Brave
By PAUL EVAN LEHMAN
: Chanter 25
1 Jeff opened his eyes and blinked.
!He pushed himself to an elbow,
' .only to fall back with a groan of
.paln. His head was splitting. Then
memory returned and he groaned
again; and the agony this time was
jnental rather than physical.
' Glenn! Glenn, the boy he had
r aworn by the memory 01 nis aeaa
mother to guard and cherish and
help, had stolen the gold. Glenn,
not Slug, had doped the coffee. It
was Glenn who had followed them,
knowing approximately where they
' would camp and in what condition
lie would find them.
Jeff rolled over, getting his hands
beneath him. He started to push
himself erect only to be arrested
cd no further explanation. He
one who had stolen the gold had
ridden the horse with the broken
calk. And the man who rode that
horse had killed John Stover!
Shakily he got to his feet and
went over to wnere oienns norse
had stood. He struck a match and
by its light examined the prints
In the soft earth. They were quite
distinct and perrect in every de
tail. There was no broken calk.
He felt an Instant great relief.
Glenn was not a murderer; no
matter what else he had done, he
had not killer. A new tneory Be
gan to form in his mind. Glenn
and Slug had worked together in
the gold theft; Glenn had planned
it and had left its execution to
the bolder and more experienced
Slug. Glenn had doped the coffee,
but Slug had made off with the
wagon while they slept, lie nad
dumped the box in the creek,
ditched the wagon, then gone on
to the rocky flat where Glenn had
met him. Assured by Slug ,that
tne goia was saie, twenn naa cir
cled to the Cougar trail and him.
self had awakened Jeff and called
his attention to the theft. That
had alibied him completely.
This was the only logical ex
planation that Jeff could find, and
although it absolved Glenn of the
greater crime of murder, the bit
ter fact remained that the boy he
had helped rear and support and
for whom he had made so many
uncomplaining sacrifices had re
paid his trust and confidences by
this stab in the back.
Jeff walked over to the box and
picked ud the hacksaw blade
Glenn had dropped. He turned it
over in his hands, oreed nad
driven Glenn to this; greed and,
Indirectly, love. He wanted wealth;
he was proud end did not want to
go to Connie empty handed.
Connie! How would this hit
her? If she loved Glenn as the
boy had given Jeff reason to be
lleve, it would break her heart.
"Get 'em up. vou!"
Jeff stiffened. The voice came
from behind him, and In an in
stant he knew he hadn't a chance.
His gun was lying somewhere on
the ground. He dropped the blade
and slowly raised his hands. He
heard the tramp of approaching
:eet, tnen a nana ieit nis empty
holster, and ran lightly over the
rest of him in search of weapons.
He felt steel on his wrists. The
handcuffs snapped shut with a
click. "Now turn around and let's
have a look at you."
Jeff turned and looked Into his
lace.
Bill was so startled that he took
A backward step.
"So vou're the bird that swlDed
the gold! By Jacks, I said it was
an insiae job. iiey, tzu Hurry
down here and see what I cot!"
Ed 'Wade returned leading Jeff's
horse. "Holy cowl" he cried. "The
doss, Jen uyier."
"And now," said Jeff coldly,
since you've had your little Joke,
you might unlock these cuffs and
give me back my gun."
It didn't work.
"I might," answered Bill grim
ly, "after you've evplained the
meanin' of all this."
"It's plain enough, Isn't It? I
had a hunch the box had been
cached in the creek and" He
broke off abruptly, recognising
the trap Into which he had al
most walked.
Bill picked him up. "And so
you waded into the creek and
fished It out. And you did it with
out gettln' wet. Or did you use a
flshin" pole?"
Jeff didn't answer, and Bill went
bn. "And after you fished it out
you Just couldn't believe It was
the same box, and even it it was
still locked you couldn't be sure
the gold was still In it. So you got a
hacksaw blade that you Just hap
pened to have along and sawed it
open. That's a lulu, that isi Try
tellln' it to twelve good men and
true. . . Get on your horse."
Bill nicked uo his hat and slap
ped it on his head, then helped
him into the saddle. Jeff attempt

Their arrival at camp created a
stir. Men awoke at Bill's shout
and gathered to hear his storv
Their eyes, fixed on Jeff, reflected
iirst surprise and then contempt.
Theft is one thing, disloyalty an
other; theft combined with dis
loyalty is lower than low. Jeb
King came and looked hard into
Jell's eyes.
"Tell me it ain't so, Jeff. Tell
me ii you can."
Jeff said nothing and Jeb turned
away. He seemed suddenly weary.
"Hitch up the team," he . told
Jake Wheeler. "You and the
guards go after the gold. Take -It
on to Briscoe. , . Get what rest
you can, boys; we'll break camp
and start for home come dawn."
It was late in the afternoon when
Jeff rode into Cougar with Bill
Frothlngham and Ed Wade. Word
of their coming had preceded them.
A crowd met them at the end of
Main street and followed them
along the sidewalks to the iall.
Threats of lynching were openly
maae.
