CHAPTER 11 '
The hot flu of noon's shadow
leas NDllcbt was on Main Street
wtieu Jim Rimbaud came out of
tii AJhambre Hotel. Xe had slept
the clock around, yet he didn't
teal mud. He had downed two
up of blaek oottee in toe dining
loom but U11 felt sluggish and
expressed, xven uie cigarette ne
didn't taste rigat.
"Too much bourbon last night,'
Kmbaurf reflected moodily.
But he knew it was more than
that Thai wasn't an ordinary
bancorer caused by Indulgence
after kxw abstinence. It was
oawned bv a bleak sense of tuttl
ley and frustration. He had come
to Junction with tfce most peace
ful intention a man could have,
wanting food and rest and another
look at Kv Odegarde. But he had
been challenged at erery turn. Re
solved to quit the gun game, he
had been obliged to take on the
sorriest chore in the book protec
tion of a homestead against big
outfit invasion. And Bve Odegarde
was engaged to the man ne was
oblloated to. It seemed as If the
whole deck was stacked against
him.
Rimbaud discarded the cigarette
and gave Mam street a squint
eyed appraisal. The town had
looked good to him when be rode
In last night. A moonlit oasis, But
now Junction's warped planks and
dilapidated buildings stood re
vealed In all their harsh reality. .
Sheriff Sol Robulards came out
of she Shanghai dale and stood
there prying at his teeth with a
toothpick while Rimbaud walked
an in Mm. "Good momlnir." Robil-
lardt greeted In a blandly Imper
sonal voice. "What's this I hear
about yew riding for Sam Mai
ban?"
- "You ' Heard right," JUrobaud
"But the man Is a fugitive from
Justice," Roblllarde Insisted. "A
wanted sow thief. Why get mixed
p with him?"
"My business, Rimbaud said.
"I'm warning you that any in
terference will the capture of
Malben will not be tolerated."
. Rknbaua jaugnea at nun. w
eked, "Would that be a threat or
a warning, Sol?"
"A warning. My political future
may depend on what takes place
In the next few days. I want no
more trouble for the newspapers
to iwff up into headlines. Dont
' Mnfc it an1 won't stand for it.
- "So?" Rimbaud mused. "Well,
now 111 tell you something, Sol.
Any Roman Four rider that tres
passes on Maiben's property will
do so at bis own risk." ;
"You're just asking for trouble,"
Roblllarde warned again. "Just
eking for It."
"Sure," Rimbaud peered, like I
asked Untie Link to take a pot
shot at me from the Shilohfc back
Annr." . . !.
Then he went on to the stable
to have hi horse saddled. Joe
Oabbert came out of the harness
room, tousle-fcalrad and yawning.
"A big night," the liveryman re
flected, "you leavln' so soon?"
Rimbaud nodded, handed him a
silver dollar, and asked, 'Which is
the best way to Bam Maiben's
piaoe?"
"So them rumors It true," Oab
bert said. "Well Bam ooukmt have
a batter man atdln' him by grab.
You got Lew Btnxnberg eatin' out
of your hand. Merer saw the beat
of It the way you bluffed Lew
down last night."
. "I wasn't bluffing," Rimbaud
aid. "How about some direc
tions?'! -
"Well the Spanish strip road
forks off to the north a mile be
yond the cattle pens. Just keep on
it till you top Big Mesa then bear
left on a trail that drops off Into
Iknbraoe Canyon, cross the creek,
and cUmb Jigsaw Divide. Maiben's
piece Is off to Vat north about
five crow -flight miles from the
divide. The wagon road winds
around ' from Big Mesa and
branches off at Isabella's Camp.
But it's a food piece farther that

headquarters ew, which, accord
ing to Ltmpy Smith, consisted o.
five men. Two others, who hek
down a line camp an the Pothofet
nrobablv hadn't been in on yester
day's man hunt. But there wai
another Roman Four man unac
counted for in town last night a
fellow Umpy called Boornr Bill.
"Big as a Percheron stud, sfcnttJi
had described him, "and a trifle
loco In the souu."
The smoky years bad taught Jsm
Rimbaud the value oc ngiianoe en
the trail ao that now, oeaervlng
that distant dust plume had van
ished, he angled off the read. The
unseen rider, ne ocmm. dm nan
Ad somewhere south of the road
on a ttusn-outcnea na uuu
bulged the long slope. H pres
ence up there might not snean a
thine. But from now cat. day cr
night, the threat of ambush wouMi
be a tugging cccnpanioa, and:
wariness would be his only shield.
He crossed the atop acme enne
miles north of the mjt. ana
presently re-entering the Spanish
Strip road, followed tt to the broad
crest of Big Mesa. Hera he halted.;
scanning his becktrlal and giving;
the roundabout terrain a ouesuns
attention. No risen dust showed
anywhere and no sound disturbed
the windless, sun-wanned air.
When he turned into a westward
trail he noticed two set of horse
tracks one set beaded toward the
road, and another est angling
awav from 1L Keening to one awe
of the tracks, he observed a simi
larity In the hoof-prints, as sf they
mignt nave oeen maoe oy me
same bone. But the tracks were
five or six hours om. ne juogea,
and so disregarded them as his
horse eased down a nan
steep-tilted trail Into ' Bnbrace
canvon. .......
Presently, as the roan drank
from a nool in a boulder -strewn
creek at the cay on bottom, Rim
baud had an overwhelming urge
to take a swim. This was more
water than he had seen in months.
Not enough to swim In, really;
but a man could splash around in
K and get nimeeii wet au over;
Rimbaud scanned the towering
wall of JlKsaw Divide, which rose
high above the canyon. This might
oe one or me places isoman rour
wouid watch in aunt lor aam
Malben. But he detected no sign
or sound of movement anywhere
on the divide, and water was
hueelv temnting.
'Til risk it," Rimbaud decided
with a gambler, fatalism.
Tvlne the roan to a dumo of
brush, he took off bis clothes and
eased Into the pool. This was better
than any barbershop bathtub. It
reminded him of his boyhood in
Texas; how he used to ride ten
dusty heat-hammered miles for
the boyish pleasure of taking belly-
splashers In a muddy river. There
had been no other boys to share
the fun, but he had whooped and
hollered, making believe that he
was accompanied by rollicking
companion. He recalled the fine
feeling of the water against his
iiesn wnen ne nrst lumped in, ana
how his father had poked fun at
him. warning that he'd grow up
weo-iootea,: A long, long time
ago .-. . '.;
Rimbaud vras aolashlns around
and thoroughly enjoying hbnself
when a voice called. "IS that you.

A woman's voice. '
