he eluded. "Lew is a great hind

Swiftly stepping aside, Jim slashed
at eooger Bills nead with his gun
barrel, struck a clubbed fist, and
distinctly heard the crack of a
bone breakuis. i ,
Booger Bill yelped. He wheeled
and charged again, shouting, "I'll
stomp your guts into the ground!"
Calmly now, with the intent cal

said thickly. "I'm stomp" '
Then his slack-jawed mouth
sagged open and he went down in
the slow, kaee-bended fashion of
a tired horse wan tine to roll.
Rimbaud holstered his pistol.
He picked up Bill's cartridge belt
and buckled it around his hips,
then examined the Winchester

Booger bui stood up. A sluceish.
smoldering resentment showed in

He peered intently at Rimbaud
for a moment, ai if seeing him
for 'the first time and wantins

and walked down the ridge toward
his horse.
Trailing along behind, Rimbaud
watched Booger Bill support him

man called, "I'll pay you back,

Then he climbed clumsily into

there was a cautious streak in

would be the most dangerous foe.
