DOUBLE TROUBLE
By WILLIAM HOBSON
(Chapter 1)
They had started loading cattli
aboard the three small paddle-
wheel steamr-re at daylight that
morning. Two had already disap-rw-ared
down the river toward tlu
Gulf and now the third lay moored
tight to the big river-lront wharf,
gruntingly content like a sleepy hog
In a cool mud wallow. Out a short
distance. Jay Allison helped the five
other riders hold the angry, bawl
ing steers while dock hands hur
riedly threw up the portable load
ing chutes over the broad ramp
leading into the steamer s hold.
Jay wiped at the sweat on his
face and then spun his horse to
go after a steer that had tried to
break out. Aitnougn It was only
10 o'clock he was drenched with
sweat and his horse was lathered
and wet. That was what the hu
midity could do. He thought, this is
an awful way to make a living, and
maybe Joe was right when he said
I was crazy not to come with him.
In the di&Unce a dock hand crawl
ed up on the chutes and waved his
old hat. Perk Holeman called out.
Okay, boys. Let's crowd em!"
They started the crowd, and as
the bawling animals bunched closer
against the wide wings of the chute
the dust rose and became a mass
of plunging horses and steers and
cursing riders. The loud whack of
quirt and rope against chapped legs
and red rumps mingled with the
"hoh-hoh-hoh's" of the shouting
riders. A big steer braced himself
at the mouth of the cnute and re
fused to budge further. The rid
ers spun and whirled to fight the
remaining herd should they try to
break, and Jay knew they were In
for trouble. But one of the dock
hands drove a long pole with a
aharp point In through the fence
and punched the steer In the flank.
It let out a bawl and lunged Into the
already well filled hold, and present
ly the others followed.
"That boy," Jay grinned at Perk,
ehe foreman, anent the dock hand,
'is the best cowpuncher here."
Perk wiped his face with a sleeve.
"Well. I guess we got 'em. I don't
know what you boys air goin' to
do, but me, I'm headin' straight fer
Moseley's to git myself the biggest
mug oi cold beer hes got in the
house. Lordy, but I'm dry!"
They trotted over to where, two
hundred yards away. Mosleys sa
loon squatted on a corner.
They swung down and clanked
kito the coolness and Mosley came
ovr, a big easygoing man in a
dirty white apron. "Don't say It,"
he chuckled. "This weather is too
hot to drink whiskey. It's beer
weather from the word go. You boys
get "em loaded all right?"
Jay nodded. "They'll be in the
Gulf by tomorrow morning and
ready for transfer to outgoing ves
sels. That's surt one Job I wouldn't
want."
Moseley hart been busy draw
ing mugs of foaming beer. He pu!
one In front of Jay and said, "Sav.
that reminds me, Jay. The station
agent was down here a lew min
utes ago looking for you. Got a
telegram for you. I told him he'd
better leave it here; said if he
went traipsln' out there on foot
around them steers they'd likely
run him down and make mince
meat outa him." He reached into
the till and brought out a yellow
paper. "Here you are."
Jay said. "Thanks," and took the
telegram. He moved on a bit fur
ther along the bar and heard Perk's
significant chuckle. "One of them
blllie doo's from some skirt, heh?"
Jay opened the missive and read
the agent's handwriting. It read:
Jay Allison. White Oak Ranch, Mud
Bank, Texas. It is Important that
you come here at once concerning
a matter I cannot mention. Tell no
one about this and contact James
Swlnnerton, Ashbury, Texas.
Jay put the crumpled paper In
l shirt pocket and picked up his
drink of beer. Ashbury. That would
have to do with Joe. his twin
brother, since Joe's last letter to
him had been from there. Jny
thought of the terrible humidity
here, of the malaria and scurvv and
pellagra, and wished now that he
had gone earlier In the year when
Joe had begged him. Thevd never
been separated before, but at the
age oi twenty-five men often pre
erred to keen more to themselves
jlood didn't count so much u It
once had.
"Anvthine ud?" Perk asked.
"Noshing partloular," Jay said
carelessly. "Polks want me to come
home for a family reunion of all the
relatives. I can Just about make
t 11 I get the evening train out.
He put down the beer. "Well, boyi.
I ve got to go nunt up tne old man
and get my time. I'd better get go
ing. 1 11 see you before I go.
He found Hanson, the owner,
down In the town's only hotel, set
tling up with a dark-eyed dark-
faced Spaniard who spoke English
very brokenly but who paid off
in gold. Jay didn't have to be told
where those cattle were going. Beef
for fighters in another of the many
insurrections breaking In Cuba or
Mexico or one of the Central Amer
ican countries. They were hungry
down there, they were resentful of
the Spanish rule. The Cubans were
trying to do something about it.
"So you're pulling out?" the own
er said. ' Hate to see you go, .Jay,
but a man owes a duty to his family.
Any time you're back this way and
looking lor a Job, come out and
see me."
