Gunf ighter's Return
ly LESLIE ERNENWEIN
' CHAPTER
Be thought that would end it;
that his blunt rejection would con
vince Bonn to thoroughly that he'd
leave him alone with Eve.
Rimbaud went on eating lor a
moment. Then, observing how sur
priced and disappointed Bonn
acem-ed to be, he said flatly, "I'm
through siding underdogs. It's a
losing proposition."
Charley Bonn sat there lor a
moment, absently tracing the
steeple sweat stains on his hat
band with a big-knuckled finger.
Anally he said, "I calculated you'd
be a man who'd oav a debt."
"What debt you talking about?"
ee oemanaea.
"You mean you don't know?"
Bonn asked. "You ain't funning?'
Rimbaud shook his head.
"Well, according to what Doc
Feathers tone said two years ago,
flam Maiben saved your life.
"Saved my life?" Rimbaud
echoed.
Then abruptly he understood
and the knowledge shocked him.
He hadn't seen Maiben since that
eventful nltrht when the home
steader had picked him out of the
road and toted him to town in a
wagon.
"I'd forgotten what his name
was," Rimbaud admitted. Aware
of Bonn's intent gaze, he added,
'It's my habit to pay a debt."
"Then you'll protect Sam's
Mace?" Bonn asked eagerly.
Rimbaud nodded. He looked at
Uve and shrugged, and said, "So
I take one more ride with the
underdogs,"
"Them Roman Four toughs
won't be so brash when they hear
you're at Boxed M," Bon pre
dicted smilingly. They'll think
twice before tangling with you."
But Rimbaud paid him no heed,
lie was looking at Eve's com
posed unsmiling face, wondering
at her gravity and wanting to kiss
the soberness from her Hps. When
Bonn had left, Rimbaud told her,
"This deal will delay my plans
trifle, but they still stand, Just
like I said."
That seemed to embarass Eve.
I don't think you'd ever change,"
she murmured, as much to her
self as to him. "I thought you'd
go on being what you were as
long as you lived."
Then she held up her left hand,
and as Rimbaud peered at the
man cnamona ring, Eve said
quietly, "I'm engaged to Sam
Maiben."
For a moment, while the jronlc
significance of her words lanced
through him, Rimbaud stared at
the ring.
A self -mocking smile formed on
Rimbaud's whisker - shagged face
as he reached for his hat. "A shift
less saddle tramp thanks you for
a fine supper," he acknowledged,
remembering what she'd told
Llmpy Smith.
"Jim, I'm sorry," Eve said in a
sincere, subdued voice that was
scarcely above a whisper.
"That also Is a losing proposi
tion," Rimbaud told her, and went
on Into the dining room.
Ernie Link had been assigned
the chore of watching the rear
entrance 10 jcve oaegarde's restau.
rant. -Maiben will be getting
sruijjjr, urw ocromoerg naa pre
dicted. "He might Just be fool
enough to sneak In for a late
upper."
It was a loco Idea, to Ernie's
way of thinking. A useless waste
of time. But there was no use try
ing to reason with Lew Strom
berg. He was In a lather about
losing that Mex graze In 8onora.
Standing In the shadow of Gab
Bert's wagon shed, Link watched
the restaurant's lamplit doorway
and caught a brief glimpse oT Jim
Rimbaud moving across the kitch
en. Ernie grinned, recalling how
spooked young Buck Aubrey had
been when he found out who It was
he'd mistaken for Sam Maiben.
Buck wasn't much account with a
gun, nor with his fists either, for
that matter; and Rimbaud was
nupposea xo De a neiier from here
to who hid the broom. Even Lew
Stromberg wanted no part of him
In a gun fight.
Link shaped up a clgarett and
thought how it would be to have
Rimbaud's reputation. A man like
that could draw top wages any
where, and have his pick of pretty
llrls.
Ernie observed Charley Bonn
sitting at the kitchen table with
Rimbaud. Mildly curious. Link
eased across the moonlit alley and
was standing close to tho door
way when he heard Bonn alr
"Then you'll protect Sam's place?"
mem whs a onei silence oeiore
Rimbaud said, "So I take one more
ride with the underdogs."
Ernie wasn't sure what that
meant, until he heard Bonn say,
"Them Roman Four toughs won't
be so brash when they hear you're
at Boxed M. They'll think twice
before tangling with youl"
That was enough for Ernie
Link, doing quickly to Main
Street, he hurried toward tho
Shlloh Saloon. Lew would want to
know about this. Perhans Lew
would want Rlmbnud stopped right
now; tonigni. It occurred to Ernie
that the man who killed Jim Rim
baud would make himself a rep in
one fight. He would be known far
and wide as being faster with a
run than Jim Rimbaud.
"He'd be famous," Link thought
loud. Then he skidded to a stop,
barely mlaslng a collision with Lew
Stromberg's daughter, who came
out of the Bon Ton Millinery with
nuge natoox in ner arms.
She was a brunette beauty, this
Delia Stromberg.- Just rwt nine
teen, she seemed more like a big
city girl than the daughter of a
Quadrille Basin cowman. She
said smilingly. "You're Just the
man I'm looking for, Ernie," and
pushed the hatbox Into Link's
hands. 'Take it to my rig at the
hotel while I pick up some yard
goods at the Mercantile.-
"But I'm In a big rush," Ernie
objected. "Oct somethln' real Im
portant to tell the boss."
Delia laughed at him. "It cant
he that imDortant." she said, and
left him standing there with the
hatbox. . ,
. When Ernie came to Delia's
nvi.wheeled binary at the Alham-
bra hitch rack he observed Swede
Severide and Al Sumway loaf
ing In front of the hotel. He hoped
they wouldn't notice what he was
toting, but tney peerea at uie nuge
hatbox and Swede said wonder
lrmlv. "Must be a new style Stetson
built special for Roman Four
heads."
With thrusting sense of tre
mendous outrage oroDelllng him,
Link drew bis gun, lunged for
ward with It held head-high, and
whipped It down, sevenae at
temDted to dodge, but the barrel
caught him across the lei t temple.
He expelled a yeasty' high sigh
and staggered sideways, colliding
with Al Sumway, who tried to prop
him up. But Swede went entirely
limp, and Shumway. eased his
friend to the olank walk.
That'll learn mm not to can
me comical," Link muiierea,
backing slowly out Into the street,
