~ •/ »* WPJrIAKJIV AST UliAl’lETt TWBNTY-SEVEN TONTO walked from the store ; to Owen Bradley’s office. He ; climbed the narrow stairs, found the lawyer’s door open. The little > attorney sat at the giant desk, fro w n i «mg out the window. He wheeled around when Tonto entered. ? . . - “Oh, Riley. Come In.* Tonto eased himself into a chair and Bradley stared out the window again. He steepled his fingers. “I’m sorry to hear about Ken Frick.” “So am L He Just wouldn’t work , out.” “I hired Frick myself,” Owen said carefully. VI believed him to be a good man,‘one who would further, the interests of the Slash S. I am at a loss to know why you discharged him.” Tonto leaned forward. His voice remained level. “Are you asking—or demanding, Owen ?” The lawyer stared at him, lowering his. hands to the deisk. Anger showed for a brief second and then was erased. Bradley shook his head. “Asking, Riley. You have a free hand out there for two years. A man in a strange place sometimes needs advice, legal or otherwise. So —well, I’m asking about Frick.” "He tried to call my hand as soon as I came to the ranch,” Tonto sank back. “We had that but and I won. 1 kept him on when I should have sent him packing. But I thought he was a good man and would get over his grudge. He didn’t. He started a fight while I was gone.” “Ken claims one of your punchers disobeyed an order/’ Bradley * \ put in. 1 “The puncher did. But the order was one Frick had no business giving. They boys would have started to quit the Slash S and drift away. It would be hard to get decent hands, men you could depend upon. Anyhow, Frick used his fists and won his argument. I took a hand and fired Frick. There It is.” Bradley rubbed his palm along the line of his jaw. “You might ' A have faded hasty, Riley. It’s not often ♦ rancher fire® his segundo when a puncher jumps the traces. Hard to control ’em.” “Look, Owen, I know what I'm doing!” . ■ Bradley saw the glinting lights in Tonto’s eyes. He swung around and spread his hands wide, , smiled. “Don’t take it so hard. Maybe I worry too much about you, wanting to see you make a go of the spread. Forget it Getting ready for '■ round-up ?” •They talked awhile longer about the prospective profits of the ranch.

7UV, WI *-*• »» CH* - —— Tonto left and walked across the street to Mayme Garver’s,who gave him a sorrowing and reproachful look as she took his order. There were a few townsmen at the tables and the counter. As Tonto started eating, Sid Harper came in rnd sat down beside him. Tonto loafed over his coffeeuntil the storekeeper had finished. They left together and, outside, Tonto asked casually about the roads out of town, turning conversation to Rick Staples. In a few moments he ham the exact information he He walked across the street with Harper and swung into Starts saddle. He neck-reined away front Fthe hitchrack and saw Vic Ellers come out of his office. Eilers waved and Tonto waited while the sheriff puffed up. / “Learn anything?” he asked. ”Not yet Aim to look; around now where Rick was killed,)? , Ellers leaned against the hitchrack. “That badge you got is for official,investigations only. Nothing personal about it.” ■ “Meaning Ken Frick?” i “Meaning him. He’s talked and I’ve told him to shut up. But Frick ain’t that kind.” Tonto leaned on the saddle. “Avrillo is an insulting town,?’ he said flatly? “You make two of -?em since I rode in. Why did youfgive me the badge in the first Vic flushed and grinned. “Well, forget, it I must be getting old. Let me know if you find anything.” Tonto rode slowly down’the main street, his jaw stubbornly set Gradually anger diminished and he began to wonder why Bradley and Ellers had suggested he > might be a yearling who would have to be closely watched. Ellers was understandable since he had; given a deputy’s badge on snap f judgment and it would be embarrassing for one of the parties in a private fight to use it ;• But Bradley needed some thought Tonto could think of several reasons Why the attorney had hinted, not too subtly, that he had done wrong in ‘.firing j'rick and that he needed advice. Tpe Slash S had been Bradley’s responsibility until Tonto had signed the papers and had taken over. Nqw, for at least two years, Bradley, could -sit back and . watch Tonto I make or break himself. The attorney's tone had suggested he was onlthe verge of open antagonism. Why? Tonto turned it over and arpund but could find no answer. j Avrillo was behind him now. Not , far out of town there was » Y, one fork of road heading off jat a tan-

with plotting against the United States. From I a jurist’s standpoint, Judge Hand may 1 be of the f opinion that his colleague should. have disapproved of the bond in ‘ the first place. Judge Ryan's later decision to cancel the bonds* threw the Communist members into jail. They were liberated by drastic order. This country b< lieves in man's right of trial, but it/ would seem that federal judges should have similar opinions when it comes to protecting those rights. A dicision by the full membership of three members of the court may be necessary to . decide the legal technicality. \ ——o o . ? A Youthful Nation:— AmericA is still a very young j country, fSometimes as we look at our great cities and at the ma- ' chinery Os modern living we are inclined te forget this. The days of the pioneer and the cavalry soldier who fought the Indians seem much further away than they actually are, It was just seventy-five years ago that Gen. i George Armstrong Custer made his famous last stand at the Little Big Horn. / I y , ' Custer has been a controversial figure among biographers and historians who alternately praise him for his-courage and criticize p : him as rash and insubordinate. It bow' matters littlb who is more accurate .in the estimation oßCUster, for time has made a hero of him and a legend of his life and death. When we are prone tt» be impatient with progress made in tljfs countly. and when we feel as if we were moving much too slowly, it might be well to rerumqer that seventy-five years ego there, was much of oyr lAnd which was still wilderness and A that the last Indian wars are within! the memqry of a few persons still living.

gent to several of the smaller hill ranches. Tonto took that road. He drew Vein only a few yards ajong it. This was the place. To either side was a high bank, fringed by a thick growth of bushes, Tonto examined them withdismounting. This stretch of road would make a good place for an anibush. But Rick was not shot from those bushes, apparently. Tonto recalled the item of the powder burns and his attention switched to the road again., He hooked one leg over the saddle horn and pushed his hat back from his face. He lit a cigaret, snapped out the match, then held the burned stick poised in his hand. Why had Rick Staples been out there? No one had ever told him, and Tonto realized he hadn’t asked. The road that branched off behind him led to the Slash S in a Roundabout way, joining the more direct rdute on the edge of the Rafter K. But this elde road ? He urged Star onward and rode for several miles into the hills. There were rutted side traps leading to small spreads that Tonto had never heard mentioned. There was no answer here for him, but there might be back in Avrillo. The point was to ask the right person, the one who would answer and not talk in turn. 1 > Tonto turned Star around, deciding he’d get |he answer in Avrillo. As he rode along he tried to decide whom to ask. Vic Ellers certainly, but Tonto doubted if the sheriff would know. Sid Harper might but Tonto feared the man Would talk. Mayme Garver would be a good bet, but Tonto made a wry face. All of Avrillo would hear Os Tonto Riley’s questions before sundown. That left Bradley. ' The road dropped out of the hills and Tonto could sec the high walls Os the cytbank far head, the tangle qf bushes to either side. He pulled up suddenly, catching a quick flash Os light in the greenery to the right* of the road. Tonto touched Star lightly with the spurs and went on. The road led'into a tangle, turning out of sight a few yards away. Tonto looked at the ground. This path had been used, many times, though the marks were dim for the most part. Tonto’s gaze centered on a fresh sign, the clear imprint -of a shod horse. > With a slight twitch of the reins . Tonto headed Star into the trail. He lifted the gun in his holster, dropped it, making it clear for in- ■ slant use. (To Be Continued)
