CHAPTER XIV
"Then he had tho brass bound gall
to sashny back nnd hold up several
leadln' citizens? I didn't hear no
tally o'what he rustled on this sec-
ond visit but he seems to have left
n couple o'bullet holes In mighty
painful places namely Al Grinnel's
ribs and the deputy sheriff's arm.
Ho musta been n plumb careless
rascal."
"Where were you nil the time?"
Terry asked.
"Wait. Yo' nin't heard all of It.
Then this one man crlmo wave as-
saults n former partner of his
name of Willie Andrews nnd steals
a hoss and saddle. Brother Andrews
Is plumb broke up about It and he
spends the rest o' tho night sittin
In tho Iron Trail bar a-tcllin' every-
body what he thinks of his former

except a few minutes when ho
comes over to tho Drovers stable
where I'm wnitin and tell mo that
I might as well make tracks that
the show is over and you're on your
way to parts unknown."
"Good. I was worried about Wil-
lie." "Never worry about Willie. Ho
can talk himself out of anything."
"I hope so. He may find himself
In more of a mess when I start mix-
ing things up again. Is the town
quiet now or are they still chasing
each other up and down the al-
leys'" "All quiet. They're just waiting
'til daylight to send n posse south
after you. What are you aimin' to
do about it?"
"I'm not sure. The first thing Is
to gS Sue Leonard to dome safe
place. Right now they're making a
big fuss over me but they know that
she's the biggest threat to their

lenc listening now for the souS
wnicn wouia mean danger
Twice he heard the stcalthv
movement of patrols and the sound
reassured him. It had bothered him
to hear no sound of movement
around the town and he felt better
to know something of what the ene-
my was doing.
He spent fully an hour covering
the scant mile of creek where the
wagon camp lay most of the time
walking along with n hand ready to
clamp over the roan's nostrils. Fi-
nally he stopped short when a level
barrier appeared in his path. The
railroad trestle! He had come too
far! the Plyly wagon was some-
where back there in a southeasterly
direction from the Iron Trail. He
would have to retrace his steps
southward and go through the whole
nerve wracking process again.
This time the search was a strain
on his patience as well as on his
skill.
Finally he found himself back at
the spot where he had onco before
felt n certain vague familiarity in
the shadows. This time he walked
toward the creek bank and ran his
hands over the surface of the
ground. Then he crossed swiftly to
n nearby tree and read tho sign
there with his finger tips. After that
he knew. This was the opening in
which the Plyly wagon had stood.
Here was the tree under which he
had waited while Mrs. Plyly talked
to Hopes.
Willie s Story
Is Believed
He had a brief flash of dread that
the girl had been captured but sec-
ond thought reassured him. Those
tracks in the stream bed indicated
n wagon moving out to the west.
The Plylys had realized the need for
flight and had acted. It had to be
the explanV.ipn; otherwise there
would not be Tse patrols around
It relieved his mnfcfcut set him
a new problem. Wherafcsuld they
go? Mrs. Plyly had memioned n
homestead on the Solomon bifcit did
not seem likely that they would take
Sue that for.
He checked himself as he was
about to ride Into the creek. That
would have been a mistake. Search-
ers finding his trail must not be led
to tho Plylys. In case the ncsters
nnd their leaders did not under-
stand tho connection of tho Plylys
to the case there must be no move
made which would betray that con-
nection. The realization broueht decision.

of the trees heading southward
away from the town and cutting
across the stream at a point where
his trail would show plainly.
Willie Andrews was nobody's fool.
On occasion ho could show certain
traces of boldness but he had a firm
belief that heroes died young. Ac-
cordingly ho was content with hi3
ono stroke of valor. He handed the
reins to Donovan in the darkness of
the Iron Trnll alley and promptly
flattened himself on the ground
where bullets were less likely to
strike. Just because n man stuck
his neck out to do a friend a good
tuno was no reason why he should
keep on being careless.
Even so it was not the plcosantcst
spot In town. Slugs whined over his
head ns men poured from the doors
of the Iron Trail with their guns
blazing. Willie lay quiet in the dust
until some of the ncsters drifted
down along the alley in a gesture of
pursuit then he began to complain
"So yuh .helped the polecate srit
away uld yuh7"
loudly. "He stole my bronc tl
polecat did I" he walled. "Then
fetched me n clout on ton o' ti
head and rode off. Somebody fj
alter him and bring back my hoss.

No one seeimd to doubt him.
They took him se back into tho
hotel with them anhe became a
part of the excltedrong which
went into aimless but Imcnant ses-
sion. It was a halfjfour uk that he
firs met signs ol doubt-Wim Al
Grlnnel.
Informajjbn About
The Ptylys
The big man looking more bat-
tered than ever came in from a
back room where the doctor had
been bandaging his ribs. He stared
sourly nt Andrews his puffed and
bloodshot eyes almost closed. "So
yuh helped the polecat git away did
yuh?" he snarled. "Now mebbe yuh
kin tell us where he was headed."
There was a definite threat in tho
words but Willie-hod little time to
worry about It. Morgan Hapes had
come Into the room behind Grinnel
his arm now carried in a sling as he
let the world know about his second
wound. "Let him alone Al" ho
enapped. "This man wasn't with
Donovan. He was at the Drovers
when I was over there. Looks like
he's just ns much of n loser as we
are."
"More" Willie said sorrowfully.
"I lost a hoss and I didn't hear
about nobody else losin' nothin'."
"No?" Grinnel snorted. "Ho
got. ..." '
"Shut up!" Hapes took a half step
toward Grinnel and the big fellow
settled back against the wall. Willie
ftowned in some perplexity. Cer-
tainly Hapes Was not worried over
n possible wrangle between the two
former Bar-0 men. More likely he
was afraid of Grinnel giving away
dangerous information.
The deputy swung to face the ex-
pectant settlers. "We'll hit the trail
at daylight boys" he said shortly.
"Ain't no use tryin' to track a pole-
cat of his breed in the dork."
A stocky bearded hoeman asked
tho question which hod been bother-
ing most of his fellows. "What did
the feller come back for Hapes?"
The lean man shifted his feet un.
easily "I dunno Sam. Seems like a
fool play fer him to mako."
"Than he didn't git nothin else?"
"Nope."
Willie felt certain that the man
was lying. Donovan would not have
come bade to the Iron Trail unless
there haa been a purpose in his
movement. Judging by the attitude
of Hopes toward Grinnel there had
h ri
f"
been some measure of success for
the raider. It made Willie mighty
curious but it also helped to bolster
up certain suspicions which hod al-
ready formed in his mind.
He watched his opportunity and
slipped away from tho hotel long
enough to meet Hank Lynch nnd
pass the word of what had hap-
pened. Then he hurried back to the
Iron Trail nnd spent the rest of the
night with the restless men in the
barroom. He snatched a few winks
of sleep in the lull which came just
before the down then he was awak-
ened by a bustle of preparation.
Hopes and the squirrel-toothed man
were issuing orders in whlspeia
around the room grodunlly getting
drowsy and drunken men to their
feet.
It was only when Barlow camo
into the room that Willie understood
a bit of conversation he had over-
heard. Then the cattle broker spoke
loudly enough to be heard by all.
"We've n sad duty to perform boys.
Meet behind the stable in five min-
utes. After that we'll go after the
dirty dog who killed him."
Suddenly Willie understood. This
Barlow or whoever was issuing the
orders was a smart hombrc. Ho
was planning to hold n funeral for
old man Leonard just before send-
ing the hoemen out on Donovan's
trail. It was a clever scheme if
somebody wanted to make sure that
Terry would not bo token alive.
These hoemen would go out primed
for a kill after watching the bury-
ing. He stayed around just long
enough to watch Barlow's clever
handling of the affair and see tho
calculated effect on the watching
men. Then ho slipped back to Texas
street and walked casually over to
tho Drovers stables. No one was
around and ho saddled his own
horse without rousing anyone pass-
ing up any thought of breakfast in
order to carry out a plan which had
formed in his mind.
He swung wide to the south con-
scious of the murmur of voices near
the Iron Traf. Then as he cleared
the corner of the building ho could
see the search pnrtles organizing in
the gray light of dawn. None of
them paid any attention to him
however and he rode on across
toward Mud Creek keeping a sharp
eye on tho ground.
Xhe sign was as confused as he
had expected it to be but he felt
fairly certain that at no point had
he crossed a double trail. He was
puzzled about thcway in which tho
Leonard girl had left town but he
was confident that when he found
tho answer to that puzzle he would
also have the answer to a large part
of Donovan'" story.
He crossed Mud Creek after ex-
amining the trail Terry had made
as ho rode upstream. Almost at
once no came upon a fresh set of
wheel tracks. A wagon had crossed
the nearly dry bed of Mud Creek
and had headed west along the rail
road iracKs. Willie studied the
marks for a moment en he cut
back across the stream to where
mother prairie schooner stood.
A stout woman crawled out from
ider the wagon as Willie rodo up.
" 'Momin'.V Wllllr. nhr.rvi.ri nn.
m-ly. "Ain't Sam Colcstock camped
ing mo cricK some place?"
he woman closed her jaws after
Ktermincd effort. "Never heard
of Tsjsbody bv that name. AisVt nn
new wnilies alone here neither.
Only cTWco in the last three days
was the PlWys."
"Don't knoiK 'em" Willie said.
"Did they cormor go?"
"Both. Come irVn couple days
ago. Last night thoNtfd man went
on a toot and his ibissus fair
dragged him outa town when she
outa town when sho
i on him. I hearik'em
in the dark hirrFklll
er a-readln' the Riot
got ner nanas
harnessin up
drunk and her
Act to him."
WlUle looked completely uninter-
ested. "But no Colestock hey?"
"Nope. Was you lookin' for him
for the posse?"
Willie Sticks
To the Trail
"Sure. I reckon we'll hove to
ride short handed." He turned his
horse without offering any further
explanation and rode upstream past
tho railroad trestle. Then he crossed
the creek once more and angled
across to pick up tho trail of the
Plyly wagon. It seemed like the best
bet for his purpose. This seemed to
have been tho only vehicle which
had left town recently and he felt
certain that the girl must have
made her depnrture by some such
method.
Andrews remained jpirth of the
railroad track until he was out of
sight of town then ho increased his
pace to on easy trot and cut across
to where the wagon trail showed
plainly in the dust. It would not do
to make any great speed yet. If
searchers cut his sign he did pot
want them to think that there was
any reason fo them to be in-
terested. He passed the fork of the trail
noting that the wagon had swung to
the north along the northeast bank
of the Solomon. Willie still elected
to play things safe; he did not want
other riders to come along and read
sign of him following a wagon.
