OE to rT .,). !- - ; ' ti .' :. ! ;r-t O '1. SYNOPSIS: Everybody In Inde pendence, Missouri, wm talking about far away Oregon in the print of 1845. Tadlock, a bard I an from Illinois, was making '.up a wagon train. No-account Henry Mctlee, his bedraggled wife, his pretty daughter Mercy and ' his five other children were go ing. Stout Jiji Evans and his Sturdy wife Rebecca, together with their shy, gangling son Brownie were going too. Tha is, If the old Mountain Man, Dick Summers, would agree to guide the party. Mow go on with the story Chanter 2 Old Rock welcomed Lie when he cot home, as U asking what was up, and he opened the door and saw KeDecca stoomne ac me nrepiace, "Get your breeches on. Becky," he called out. "We're goin' to Oregon." After Evans had left the store, the others drifted awav. Tadlock halted and watched Evans riding awa'- on his mule. "There's a man I'd like to have in my company,' he said. It was what Charles Fairman had been thinking. He liked this big man with the easv-Eolnd manner, liked the signs of good humor in the broad and fleshy face, the in dications of physical competence In the stout hands and big frame. He gave promise of being a better companion than 'Tadlock, who would be officious ,or than Mack, who would be difficult to know, or than McRee. the Door white. Fairman signaled a goodbye and set off for home. It was two rooms in a ramshackle house, but better, at that, than a tent. He doubted that Tod could have survived in a tent, the way the fever raged in him. He had to have shelter and care and the high, dry air, such as people said you found in the val ley of the high Platte, in the moun tains, in Oregon, where there was no lever at au. As Fairman aDDroached. the worn. an of the house opened her door and with a split broom fanned out the dirt ane naa swept un. "They was a man here You been saying you wanted another man," she said. "Oh I That's good. You mean to trn with UK?" "He said he would for the ride anri victuals." Fairman said. "I see," hoping the man would be back, witn two wag ons and the cattle he expected to trail he would need two men at least. He had one, a quiet hand. He walked through a room and opened the door to the quarters he and his family occupied. He looked at Judith, letting his face ask how Tod was. Judith smiled at the boy and put her hand on his head. "He'll be ready. He's getting to be a stout boy." "This Is still fever country," Pair man cautioned her. "Not like Paducah." The boy was still thin as a twig and frail-looking, like a young bird, but his eyes were clear now and his color better. Fairman let his thoughts move ahead while he munched on the chicken, seeing the farm they would nave in uretron ana tne wneat wav ing yellow. He saw Tod strong at last, with healthy flesh covering the thin nones, jucmn oiten ten victim to fever too. It was for her sake, as much as Tod's, that he had sold his small plantation and de cided on Oregon. Tod asked, "What you thinking about?" "I thought I might go out and look at some mules." Tod came and took his hand, and they left the house and walked down toward a yard that Fairman had noted before, a pole yard built to keep sale stock in. He was having his wagons re tired with three-inch Iron, ooltcd on. He had bought two substan tial wagons. He had laid in a good supply of horse gear and gathered some sim ple tools and had bought a good rifle and a pistol and a shotgun for fowling. He had purchased a sheet-Iron stove with a boiler, and a Dutch oven and skillet and plates and cups of tin. He had a tent, two churns and two plow moaeis ana a supply of rope for tethering ani mals. The list of eouloment. he esti mated as he counted the items off, was almost complete. Now he had to think about supplies lour, meal, bacon, sugar, salt, tinea siuii, coi fee. rice, maybe a little keg of vine gar. And books, especially school books. More important was the question of stock oxen for the wagons, seven or eight yokes of them at least; mules to ride, milk cows and cat tle to drive. A voice called from behind him. "You lookln' for a man to go west? Be you Mr. Fairman?" He turned and said "Yes" and waited seeing a long splinter of a man in hickory shirt and high hung homespun breeches. "Name's Hig." the figure an nounced. "Or that's what they call me. It's bobtail for Hlgglns. I hank er to go," the man continued. "Qlm me a place to lav mv head and somep'n lo feed on, and I'm your coosederrv." Fairman debated, looking the man over, from the good forehead to the squeezed face to the spare figure to the feet shod In old peg boots. He did need another man. Wliile he debated. Hlg said. "I'm a fixer, too. Used to be a pewter tinker. I can doctor sick rifle-guns and busted wheels and all. You'll see." He waited, and when Fair man's answer didn't come at once he thrust his hands out. "LooKlt! These here paws didn't get that way lyln' folded in my lap. I'm skinny nut strontr. nxe a razoroacK nog I ain't askln' anything but to go along and help you and eat out of your pot." "WeU f" Fairman felt Tod's hand tighten in his own and looked down and saw that the boy was smiling. "If it's all right with you, mister, rou done hired yourself a man." Hig reached down and took Tod's willing hand, and rairman tnougnt, a little helplessly, that, sure enough, he had done lured himself a man The mule trader was standing by the pole fence. He said, "Figurln' to buy mules?" I tnougnt i might." "I got some the likes of which ain't oiten louna. Hig said, "That's Fcripture, I tet." A horseman jogged up and sat quiet for a minute and then swung out or the saddle. "Lookln' for mules?" Tolty. the trader, asked. "Just aasln' home," the mas an swered. "Neighbor asked me to see if you had some smart ones." "Now let me tell you something," xoity saia to J-airnam gesturing with his cigar. "1 sell mules and oxen both, even if I ain't got any oxen rignt now. Ana 11 l was goin to Oregon, I'd go by mule." Tod yanked at Fairnian's hand. "I want the big mule. Father." Falrham asked, "How much?" "Forty dollars each, two for seventy-five, and take your pick." "It's enough." "Cheap. Cheap as dirt." Hig got Into the conversation again. "Where you from, that dirt's so dear?" Tolty only looked at nim. The man outside the fence put a foot on a stump and dangled the bridle reins in his hand. He wasn't thin or fat, but, Fairman thought, somehow fluid with muscle. On im pulse Fairman asked, "What do you say, sir?" "It ain't my deal." The man addressed himself to Tolty. "How do Injuns feel about mules?" Tolty was quick to answer. "Crazy about them, like everybody else. Plumb crazy about them." "What Injun love, Xnjun steal," mil mm, miu wit. moil iwnuu us, his mouth impassive but his eyes grinning. "Waitl" Fairman broke in. "You mean Indians will steal mules but not oxen?" "Could be." The man was quiet, flicking the reins against the palm of his hand. When he spoke again it was still mildly, "That big mule there. Seems Uke he used to belong to Tom Proc tor. Yes. sir. Tom said that mule would look close and pick out the teeth he wanted to kick out of a man's face, and then he would let ny and never miss. Not once. Tolty moved toward the gate acting full of purpose. xne man stood quiet, nis loot on the stump and his hand resting on nis upuited knee. AU he said was, xaxe it easy, noss." "What might vour name be?" fairman asxea. 'Dick Summers" Then he swung nis norse around. Fairman wanted lo call to him, to ask if he was the mountain man. to ask if he'd pilot a company to Oregon, but he stood silent as the horse jogged away, knowing only mac ne a seen tne second man ne a like to travel with. Dick Summers sat on a stumol ana smoxea nis pipe, ine days were longer than before, but dusk already had settled among the trees. and in the cabin the women who had come to lay out Mattie had! struck a light, maybe more for the cneer 01 it man to see By. A man moved away from the cab in and Summers saw it was his neighbor, Llje Evans, who finally had made up his mind to go to Oregon and now wanted everyone else to go. Evans asked. "Mind company?" and eased his big body I to tne ground. Tney went Back to their pipes, and by and by Evans saia, "Your pore wne makes real purty corpse, Dick" summers nodded, not speaking, I while he thought about beaver coun-1 try. He had said goodbye to it once. I How long ago? Eighteen thirty-1 seven to eighteen forty-five. Eight years, but It seemed Jike forever. Evans said, "You made up your mina wnat to do yet, uickv Bummers shook his head. A man lost one thing and thought I about others lost before. Like he thought about Jackson s Hole and I the Wind Mountains and the squaws he had known, a long time ago. "Why you goin", Llje? You didn't leave nothin' there." I There Just aln t enough range in Missouri." Summers nodded.
