Gunfight
er's Return
By LESLIE ERNENWEIN

CHAPTER 38
Obediently, u U Impelled by a.
will stronger than bis own, Lew
etromberg dropped the gun. It
was an odd thing. All tne anger
faded Irom bis eyes; there was a
meekness In them and a baffle
ment. Delia clung to him. softly
sobbing. He placed an arm around
her shoulders and said, "Hush,
child. I'm all Tight."
Then he looked at Rimbaud and
said wonderingly. "You could
shot me. But you didn't. Why?"
Rimbaud shrugged, marveling
at the abrupt admiration he felt
for this little man.
"Why didn't you shoot?" Btrom
berg demanded.
"Ask your daughter," suggested
Rimbaud. '
"But I thought you said you
didn't want"
Rimbaud cut him off, saying,
You think too mucn ana you taut
too much. He wanted no refer
ence to the marriage proposition
here.
Stromberg continued to start at
him. as If unable to believe that
so notorious a gunman had re
frained from shooting. He said,
"I'm much obliged, Rimbaud. Real
obliged."
"Enough to do me a favor?1
Rlmbtuul Asked slvlv.
And when Stromberg nodded,
Rimbaud said, "Leave those Span
ish Strip folks alone."
"I will," Stromberg agreed.
Then a self-mocking smile creased
his dark face and he added, "After
what's happened I ain't got much
Choice."
Rimbaud liked that. He said,
"That's fine. Lew."
Observing that the crowd out
side was so large it bulged through
the batwlngs, Rimbaud walked to
the rear doorway. .
Slowly, In the plodding way of
a man Done-weary, nunoaua
walked to his horse. And present
ly, leading It past the back stoop
of Eve Odegaarde's restaurant, he
looked at the kitchen hoping for
eighth of her. But the kitchen was
empty, and he thought: She'll be
welcoming Sam Malben out of Jail.
Eve was probably kissing him
now; giving him a taste of all the
wild sweet flavor that was in store
for him. Rimbaud grinned, glad
that he had taken one taste him
self, "That's one kiss Sam Malben
will never get."
Whereupon he led bis horse
into the deserted stable and un
saddled it.
Jim Rimbaud. His name was on
every tongue. Jim, Rimbaud this,
Jim Rimbaud that. It made Ernie
squirm with envy each time he
heard it. That's the way folks
would have talked about him if
he'd had a little luck with that
first shot of his in the Shiloh.
They'd have talked about Ernie
Link and told how he chopped
down Jim Rimbaud. .
Link drifted over to the Alham
bra lobby and glanced at the
register. It was there, big as brass;
"Jim Rimbaud, Two Tanks, Texas.
Room Number 9.
Ernie went out to the veranda
and , surreptitiously transferred
the little double-barreled der
ringer to his right hand. The man
who gunned down Rimbaud would
be famous. He'd De better known
than Junction. Arizona.
Jim Rimbaud was on the bed
half asleeo. when someone knock
ed at the door of his hotel room.
The knock came again.
"Who's there?" Rimbaua called,
feeling no sense of apprehension;
reeling nouung oeyona a languid,
oenumoing weariness.
"Me Sam Malben."
"Come on in." Rimbaud invited
and was holstering bis gun when
the door opened.
Malben came over to the bed
and shook hands in the queerly
solemn fashion of a man going
through a necessary ritual, "I'm
sure much obliged," he said
soberly. "You took long chances
tackling Jubal and those others
like you did. Awful long chances."
Then frankly curious, he added,
"I don't see how you done it. or
wny."
Rimbaud shrugged, still resent
ing this man who would be Eve
Odegarde's husband, and embar
rassed by his gratitude.
As if sharing a kindred embar
rassment, Malben said, "Well,
tbings have sure changed con
siderable since Uie last time we
met. Jim. For me and some others.
I never saw the beat of it. You
wouldn't think so much could hap
pen In so short a time. Take Lew
Stromberg, for instance. He don't
act like the same man.
Malben walked over to the
doorway and turned, and said in
an odd. flat voice, "Eve told me to
tell you it's not too late for supper
If you'll eat in the kitchen."
Then he went out and closed the
door.
Rimbaud smiled, recalling how
Eve had told him that once before,
This invitation he supposed, was
her way of manning mm lor
clearing Sam: for furnishing them
a marriage bed. She would have a
new name soon. ve Ataioen. sirs.
Sam Malben. But she'd always be
Eve Odegarde to him. -
"Well," mused Rimbaud, "I
can stand some food. And I might
get a farewell kiss lor dessert."
