When bis father, "Killer Reeves," the Kid left Texas to avoid con. tinping his father's ieuds. Reaching Mon- tana he is forced to draw on Nate Wheeler, 8n 'irate nester, In the exchange of shots Wheeler drops dead, the Kid later leamn- ing that Bob Garner who had also shot at the same time, really killed Wheeler. Garner gets the Kid to join the Poole outht as 'a rim rider. The Kid succors Wheeler's widow and is interrupted by Pete Gorham and some other nesters, He shoots. Gorham through both ears for foupling his name with Wheeler's widow. Later he rescues a girl, Nellie, and her dad from Gorham, wounding Pete again. The girl, in spite of her belief the Kid is an imported Texas killer, warns him the nesters will kill him. The Kid warns Gar- ner the nesters are planning an attack on the Poole outfit. He meets Jess Markel, a Texan who is boss of the Poole wagon crew, . NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The kid tilted his head in re sponse to a nod or two, and took his place at one side of the group --the right side, which left his gun arm free and gave him a clear path to his horse. Babe ieft him, g2ing on to the house, where he knocked on a door, Babe was a long time in the house. 'Peared like he must have a right smart to say to the Old Man. The kid's feet grew tired, standing there leaning against the fence, but he-didn't sit down. Another man rode up, some fore- man or other, He told them to feed their horses and stay for din- ner, and the group stirred and went off to attend to their mounts, The kid loosened the saddle on Pecos and Babe's horse, slipped off their bridles and turned them into the corral, Babe's voice calling out some careless remark to the foreman came to him at last, and over at the | log house beyond the cottonwood | some one was pounding on a tin] pan to say dinner was ready. Men were already splashing at the wash basin on the bench outside the door when the kid came up Babe emptied his basin with a fling } of soapy water into the bushes at the end of the house, gave the basin to the 18! and went inside, but | stopped Just inside the door and| stared back over his shoulder at| the kid as if he were expecting] something. The kid dipped water from the big bucket standing there--genily lest the splash should drown some little sound he ought to hear; some little sound Babe was listening for, there inside the door, Somebody coming across the yard, walking kinda slow and care ful," Hungry men don't walk that a-way to their dinner, The kid | took out his little black pocket comb, unfolded it and leaned to the wavy mirror in its cheap frame. He looked 'within and with his left band he drew the comb through his thick, wavy locks that just missed being red. Babe was still standing Just inside the door, still looking out at the kid, waiting for him; waiting for something else too, But even though Babe stood there waiting, he jumped when the kid whirled and fired, The kid ducked past the window and then backed slowly, keeping close to the wall, His yellow right eye had the cold glare of a tiger, as he watched the men rushing out to see what had happened. Twenty feet away, a man steadied himself and reached backward with his left hand, and the kid saw and let him get the gun before he fired again. The man dropped the second gun and stood there, holding two bloody fists out before him, staring from them to the kid. "Yo'all stop wheah yoah at," the kid said to those at the door, and they halted on the broad step. "I" kill yo'all foh this, Tiger Eye Reeves!" raved the man with the bloody fists, "Yo' kain't," the kid replied in his melodious drawl, "Yo'all nevah will shoot no moah, Jess Markel." "Fer Gawd's sake, Tiger Eye!" cried Babe from the step. "What's it all about? You sald you didn't know Jess." "I nevah did say I don't know Jess Markel. I said men easy drop theah Texas names awn the trail up heah. I nevah did say I don't know that lobo." "Git "im boys!" raved Jess, hold. ing out his two shattered hands, "That's Killer Reeves' youngest boy--and the worst of the lot! Look what be done to me!" "I nevah do bust down a hand lessen theah's a gun in it," the kid sald. "What yuh pull a gun on him for, Jess?" The foreman walked scowl ing toward the wounded man. "The kid's dead right. You had your guns out when he shot." "He's Killer Reeves' son, didn't 1 tell yo'all? His pap killed my pap, that's why," "Yoah pap nevah did draw quick enough," the kid reminded him, "He's a damn killer and the son of a killer!" raved Jess, "I don't mevah shoot a man in the back, like yo'all tried to do; the kid said coldly. Walter Bell himself came with long, angry steps from the house. "You the fellow that shot my wagon boss?" Bell snapped. . "Yes, sub." "You've crippled him for life says. Jess pulled his gun znd Reeves, here, whirled and shot. He must have drawed his gun, but | never saw him do it. He sure as hell wasn't combing his hair with his six-gun--" The group at the mess-houee door laughed at that, and Walter Bell turned on Jess, "You brought it on yourself," he growled. "Come on up to the house and VII fix you up till you can get a doctor, Reeves, I'll see you at the house after dinner." "Yes sub." / "You done right, Tiger Eye, said Babe, as the two lingered out side. "Shoah tried "to, Babe." "I thought Jess acted kinda funny, when we was over there at the round-up. ' He asked me who 1 had with me, and I sald a young feller from down on the Brazos. He wanted your name and I give it to him. He never said anything, but I suspicioned he knowed yuh or had heard of yuh, just by his looks. But you never let on like you knowed hin, so I let it pass." Babe gave the kid that sharp, sidelong look of his, The kid drew a long, relieved loose, Like a banner of gold whip ping in the sun. It made a funny kind of lump in his throat now, Just to think of the way she looked with all that hair flying loose. Like an angel in a gingham dress, kinda. The sharp, venomous crack of a rifie up on the ridge behind the house struck away t ose thoughts, And then he heard the piercing shriek of a woman. The kid knew that sound bitterly well and a hot crimple went up his spine, With one savage lift of his spurs he jumped Pecos out from behind the stack and went thundering up the road, No need to fear a bullet now from that rifle, Killers don't wait, when a womhn raises the death scream. "Nellie! Come quick! They've got him--They've killed him---Oh, my God! Come and help get him in--They've killed him---Oh, he's dead--" Too well the kid knew that tragic litany, His lips pressed their soft curves into a thin line. His twink- ling blue eye half closed to let the tiger look through that yellow right eye of his, He stepped limberly down from the saddle and ran and knelt on one knee beside the wail- breath and looked at Babe with the old faith shining in his eyes. I the lolling old head of her man, ing woman, huddling to her breast Ny "© Babe jumped when the right, "You'll get the job, all Babe said in his ear, when the two | paused outside in the shade of the cabin to roll and light a cigarette apiece before the kid went up to in Lerview Walter Bell. Jess, on his way to the stable with the foreman, scowled and turned his face the othér way, walk- ing wide of the kid, Both hands were bandaged and carried in a sling before him and he looked | sick. The kid's lips tightened a little as Jess passed, Killer--but he never would kill again, Not after those smashed knuckles got well They'd be stiff as sticks. ' Jess would lose some of his fingers, the kid reckoned hopefully, "Your done right, Kid." Babe flicked his thumb-nail across a match head, lighted" the cigarette and snapped the stub in two pieces before he dropped them at his feet. "He'd'a' got you'and never give warnin'. Damn' sneak--didn't think Jess was that kinda man." "It every killah had his hands broke, this would be a right peace ful land, Babe." Babe shivered in spite of himself 'I'd as soon be killed as crippled, . he sald shortly, "Shucks! Yo'all ain't a killah Babe. Man's got a right to defenu himse'f, I reckon. That's what Pap always sald, Yo'all wouldn't shoot a man lessen he come at yoh with his gun out, Babe." "Shore not." Babe shot a keen glance at the kid, "Come on and talk to the Old Man. Just red tape, but you oughta meet him, He told me he'd put yuh on and let yuh ride rim with me." There were things the kid would 1lke to ask Babe about the valley. That ranch out a ways from the rim, not in the coulee but' tucked down behind a low ridge, where the long streak of cottonwoods showed there was a creek--the kid would like to know the name of the folks that lived there, But he couldn't ask, or Babe might kinda suspicion it was the girl, Nellie, that the kid wanted to know about, The kid focused his fleld glasses on the ridge, but he couldn't see anything but a fence running up along the side. The ranch was over behind, about where the line of cot tonwoods quit, Old pappy wasn't feeling right good the other day; seemed like he oughta ride down there and see how the old feller was getting along, anyway. Would n't take but a minute to ride down and see how her old pappy was feeling. Babe never need to know a thing about it. 80 the kid went down into the valley where the nesters would shoot a Poole rider like a coyote. Babe had told him to ride across the Bench to the river and scout around there for any sign of brand- ing fires or cattle held within cor rals hidden in the thickets. The kid felt pretty guilty and mean, going off like this on a side trip of his own, but he didn't feel guilty enough or mean enough to turn back from the quest of Nellie's home and Nellie's last name. By the time he reached the lower Kid whirled and fired 'Ma'am, take away yoh amhs, till I tote him inside." She looked up at him blankly, her eyes too full of her tragedy to see aught else, Then Nellie came running from somewhere up along the base of the ridge, "You! What'd you do Mether, don't!" done? Ma--oh, What've you it for? Pity tore at the kid's heart as he looked at the two of them cower ing together,. but his voice was gently insistent. \ "If yo'all would get her away so I can tote him inside" "Come, Mother." Obediently the girl apd coaxing. "We must get bim in--You go fix the bed began pulling ot? "Yos-- I'll go spread up the With the limp, bony old man sagging a deadweight in bis young arms, the kid went into the house, Line old pappy had been shot in back when be walked out into Killer's work.
