Gunfighter's Return
By LESLIE ERNENWEIN
AP Newita.turei)
CHAPTER 3t
It iu odd how the memory of
one kiss could devil a man; bow
the remembered pressure of one
pair of 11 pi could make a man
forget every other woman he had
ever known. Rimbaud buckled on
hie Run belt and went downstairs.
noticing that It was ten minutes
to tune ny me loooy ciock.
Rimbaud observed Ernie Link
lounging against the hotel hitch
ibck.
1 got aomethln' to tell you,'
link announced.
The tense tone ot his voice
stirred a faint bell of warning in
Rimbaud's brain, yet the door
way's shaft of lamplight revealed
no sun at Ernie's hlD.
"Save it for some other time,"
lumoaua suggested.
Link movie, his sllnK-siro-
ported right arm a trifle, shouted
angrily, ''Draw, Rimbaud I Draw
your guni-
Utterly astonished bv that chal
lenge, Rimbaud stared at Link in
disbelief. "You gone loco?" he de
manded. "What's loco about me and you
settUn' our grudge?" Ernie scoffed.
"You had the luck before, Mebbe
111 have it this time."
' And then, as Ernie's right arm
moved again, Rimbaud saw the
twin snouts of the derringer, and
understood that he was looking in
to flouoie-oarraea oeatn.
"A cold deck," Rimbaud mut
tered. caculn the distance be
tween them at less than fifteen
feet and knowing it wasn't enough.
If he dropped flat the first bullet
might mus turn, out aot rae sec
ond one.
"I'm giving you a chance to
grab, Iilnk taunted. "The same
chance you gave Red and Booger
Bill."
Rimbaud laughed at him. "Did
you say chance?" he asked.
But there was no mirth in his
laughter. This, he understood, was
we uung ne a Known wouio nap
pen to htm some day. It was in
evitable. He had expected It, yet
now that he was seeing it, and
feeling it, he couldn't quite com
prehend why Ernie link was so
sei an tilling nun. xne ieua oe
tween Roman Four and the Span-
- lan scrip homesteaders was over.
"What you waitln' for?" link
called scoffingly.
Then his voice rose to high
pitched shrillness as he yelled,
"Right now, Rimbaud I Grab right
now!
Rimbaud went down sideways
with the derringer's report like the
crack of a buggy whip above -his
head, that sound echoed by a
crash of breaking glass. Rimbaud
snatched up his gun, but he didn't
fire it. He Just lay there, propped
on the palm of his left hand, and
peered at Ernie link, who was
draped head-down across the
hitch rack.
It was the most astounding sight
Jim Rimbaud had ever seen. The
most unexpected and inexplicable.
For he hadn't fired shot.
Rimbaud got to his feet, wholly
confused, and looked at Iimpy
Smith, who stood behind the hitch
rack with the neck of a broken
bottle gripped in his hand. .
"Colonel's Monogram," Limpy
muttered, peering at the whisky
that dripped from Link's dangling
head.
That was when Sheriff Bobil
larde came running up, and
8 lanced at link, and said wear
y, "Another corps for Art
Green."
"No, Just a drunk,'' Rimbaud
corrected. "Ernie took a whole
quart of Colonel's Monogram at
one gulp."
And then, seeing the disgusted
expression on Iimpy Smith's face,
Rimbaud loosed whoop of rol
licking laungter that hurt his
tide.
"What's so comical about me
Josin' a quart of good bourbon?"
Smith demanded.
Rimbaud walekd over to him.
"You did it again," he said, and
patted Iimpy's shoulder with real
afectlon. "You saved my bacon for
the second time, amigo."
Then Rimbaud dug a gold piece
from his pocekt. saying, "Go buy
another bottle, Iimyp. 111 be over
after I eat some supepr and well
have us a grand celebration. If
Pat Flnocane so much as frowns
at you, tell the monkey-faced
Mick 111 shoot his ears off."
Still chuclkinE Rimbaud turned!
and was crossing Main Street's
wide pattern of alternate light
and shadow when Eve Odegarde
rushed up to nun.
"Are you all right?" she de
manded. "I heard a shot."
Her cheeks, faintly revealed by
reflected lamplight, were flushed!
and marexd by the sooty snaaows
of her long lashes. Rimbaud
grinned, his eyes frankly apprais
ing. "Yu shouldn't be worrying

think?"
"He knows," Eve saia quieuy.
"Knows what?"
"Well, how It is with us."
And then she held ud her left
hand, showing him that the ring

olalned. her subdued voice barely
above a whisper. "And there seem
ed no way to get him out of it.
I I lust couldn't auit him when
everything was bad for him, Jim."
"You couian v n-noaua ecao-
ed duiry.
Don't vou see how it was. Jim,
with a posse chasing him and all?
There didn't seem to be a chance
of his being acquitted. I wanted
to tell you how It was, that first

couldnt tnin up uie ngni warns,
or tnnt mvself to be near you."
Slowlv. in the deliberate way
of a man not sure of bis senses,
Rimbaud reached over and tilted
her face so that he could see into
her eyes, for a long moment he

"You did two women a favor

"And .I've got you," Rimbaud

ing her womanly fragrance, and
said; "Sweet Stuff," In a more

Then he kissed her, and felt the
full, sweet pressure ot her lips,
and knew there'd be no more
