By A. B. SYNOPSIS: The On-to-Ore-. f on Outfit hiu reached the Platte . Kivex, but the little wagon train Hat only oefiin us ions, nwu Journey. So far there have been no deathi or serious accidents. Tadlock, captain of the company, baa been a little uppity. Mack has shot an Indian when the cattle ' were stampeded back near the Kaw. Llje and Rebecca and Brownie Evans am all well. And white-trash McBee, self-appointed dog-killer, has not yet harmed old Bock. Dick Summers, the rulde, has no doubt they'll make it to Oregon. It is early summer of the year IMS. Now fo on with the story Chapter 7 . Higglns had to smile to himself PeoDle tickled him. especially may be when it came to women. The question was, with wood getting scarce was It right and proper for the women to cook over, fires made of buffalo chiDs? This wasn't a called meeting. It just came on ay itseu. The men were standing mostly. . -Byrd was speaking, saying, "I for one don't like it." TByrd was a man Higglns hadn't c$ne to know, except as he had seen him, plump and fair, and Clack-lipped now from the wind, sitting proper at his fire or urging iib team along in tne way oi a nfan not used to animals. He was bb in-between-sized man, from the Bast somewhere, who carried him self atralKht. "'No wood," Tadlock said, not as a "question, while he looked for it ugriver. no wood at ail' ' , Not enough," Summers answered. JHcm about buffalo chips?" Plenty. We're comln' Into huf fier country" Higglns eased himself down on vie eround. Tadlock stared down at Higglns at if, by sitting, Higglns didn't show the case the right respect. "You, don't have to think about the pro tection of a wife." "Last wife I had, I was the one needed nertectlon." .Brother Weather by Intoned, -What tne uora wins, tne ijord wills." , ''Meaning what?" asked Tadlock. "If He has left us nothlnor to cook with except buffalo chips, He means us, to cooa witn ouiiaio cjiips. His name was Brownie Evans, and he was seventeen . . . and the dust role under the slow feet of the cat tli and powdered a man's skin and flOed his nose, and the sun bore through It, hot as a near fire, though summer was Just coming on, until his neck and cheeks and hands turned dark as the saddle he rode on. Keep footln' it, critters. Stay with the bunch, you. Git alongl Far off, on sky lines clear as water, heat wave ran. His name was Brownie Evans and he was seventeen and bound for Oregon. Hig's nam wat Higglns and Mar tin's was Martin and Botters' was Botter and Mr. McBee's was Henry McBee, and they rode often at the tail of the cow line, along with others who changed day by day. H1k talked to himself, out of a mouth that barely had room between nose ana chin, or reined over wnen ne thought of something good and told you aoout it ana grinnea aiter wards, his mouth looking like a knife cut in his withered face. Mar tin rode stoop-shouldered and chewed tobacco and hardly ever smiled or talked, acting as if life was sorry and no help for it. Peo ple called Botter a steady man. When he apoke It was about horses or mules or cattle. The man lay deep, Inside his name, underneath his talk and acts, as he did himself who went by the name of Brownie Evans and spoke and moved like everybody else but still lived secret and alone. People would say he was skinny and big- Jointed and had too much of him turned under for feet, or they might ay ne was inendiy and gooa- turned but bashful, but they wouldn't know him. So Brownie dreamed his dream: Indians came streaming onto the prairie and held up and looked while the wagons Jolted into a circle and women cried and the men ex amined their rifles. They came on then, the Indians did, their head feathers bent to the wind of the charge, their war whoops breaking hoarse on the ear. "Steady," Dick Summers said. He lay underneath a wagon, his rifle resting on a spoke of the wheel, and Brownie lay with him. Around the circle other men had posted themselves, and Inside it the women and children peeked, white-faced from behind the boxes and gear tney had yanked from tne wagons. "Thev can't come it." Dick said. his cool gray eyes looking along the Darrei. mey n circle." The Indians were all shining shields and yelling mouths and pounding hoofs, and then the two steady guns spoke and knocked two Indians from their horses, and the others broke then, flaring out like a covey of birds. They ran a bigger elrole around the circle of wagons, Just the tops of their heads showing or an arm or a leg, or a bow bent anarp ana men tne arrow streaking. "Rifle I" Brownie pitched his emp ty gun back of him. His voice sound ed keen as a shot. "Here." Someone shoved a loaded piece into his reached-back hand GUTHRIE, JR. "Here." He let himself take one quick look behind him, and saw It was Mercy McBee, already charging uie ruie ne naa emptiea. "Down I Down. Mercy!" But she lust went on loading while the ar- rows patterea arouna ner nee nau. "TOO," Dick counted. "Two for me, too. Rlflel" "Three." "Three. Rlflel" It was too much for the Indians. It wasn't likely they had seen shoot ing like that before. They drew off, howling, and began fading into dis tance, and Dick Summers was say ing, "Hang me. hces, but you're a smart snot." So It came to be that he was more like Dick Summers all the time. He had the same easy slouch in the saddle, the same seeing eye, the half-sad smile that showed Just a uttie of what he might be dreaming. Some days later buffalo made a great brown, rolling shadow on the lope norm oi me river, ana mens eyes kindled while .they counted balls and measured powder, but dick Bummers said, "nest leave mis to me'n Brownie Evans. You all'll get a heap of shootln' later. Right now we're froze for meat."' He turned, "Git your bow and arms, Brownie." "Bow and arrows." It was Mr. Tadlock, who didn't know beans about buffalo hunting. "sure." "Bow and arrows!" "Bow loads faster'n an iron." "One rifle shot," Brownie said to Mr. Tadlock. "and you're done. Time you load up, them crltters'll oe lour days gone." Thev rode away, leaving Mr. Tad' lock mouthing, "Bow and arrows?" They splashed across the Platte and came upwind toward the herd, rid ing slow. There was a mist of dust over the buffalo, raised by tne step ping feet and the pawings of bulls. Underneath the mist the humps ran lute waves as far as a man could see. and now on the near edge the waves heaved around, and not eyes snowea ana low-neia norns, Dick saia, "Beady?- The horses sprang to full speed. the hunters silent yet. and the waves washed one wav and anoth er, and came to be parte of one great wave that flowed away as if a dam had broken. The old bulls were the last to get going. They watched out of uieir aim ana angry eyes ana turned and broke Into a olumsy gal lop and turned again as If they had a mind to charge. A yell broke oat of Dick's throat. wild and strange as any war whoop. and Brownie matched It and drummed the ribs of his horse with his heels and came among the bulls and saw an opening and raced through it while the bulls hooked at him. too late. The horns clat tered like a canebreak in a wind. The ground rolled up in a thick dust, mains xjick, nicang tne nera except ior tne Doming rumps oi tne cows rignt aneaa. xne noois maae thunder in the head. Brownie droDoed his looned reins and took the arrow that he had popped into his teeth and notched it to his bow. His arm pulled It oack to tne neaa ana let it go, and it sank out ox signt in a lat cow. The cow slowed and stumbled and was lost Denina. Five cows he killed, five fat cows while the herd fanned out. He pulled up, his horse in a lather of sweat, and squinted through the dust for Dick. He saw him at last, saw him hard after a cow that ran with two oth ers and a bull and a calf, and then he saw the horse stumble and Ditch over and Dick slammed hard on the ground. Dick lay there, not moving, and the bull stopped and glared and pawed the ground and started ior mm. There wasn't time to think. Brownie kicked his horse and felt him lunge and reached for an ar row while he stuck to the saddle like a bur. It was close, close as a crack, the bull right on Dick and the arrow drawn lu full length, aimed dead at the heart. The bow string hummed like a string on nig s naaie. The bull fell a foot from Dick, the blood foaming from his mouth Dick looked up. He wasn't hurt bad from the fall but only weak and winoea. ne saia, "Mali oi stayin' alive is plckin' your pardner." They rode Into camp, while the men and women looked at them wide-eyed. One of the pair of eyes belonged to Mercv McBee. who stood a little to one side, or so it nil went In his dream. Brownie rode sober-faced, which was fitting to a man in sucn a case, ah tne same he guessed she knew how It was beginning to be with him. (To be continued.)
