CHAPTER FORTY-SIX VIC STOOD UP, telling Tonto, "That’ll hold until we can get • better patch." He turned to Bradley. "You was witness to all thia ?” "No. There were no witnesses. Bart slipped out of the Golden and Gilpin told everyone Bart had drunk too much and was resting in his office. Gilpin figured what had happened after they found Rick. He covered up for Bart when you come asking questions. Vic. Later Gilpin told me how it was.” "Why did he blot Bart’s trail?” "Bart owed Gilpin money, and Bart was next in line for the Slash S after Rick was killed.” Tonto leaned forward. "Gilpin saw the whole scheme go up in smoke when he learned Bart was disinherited. So he came to you. The two of you made » dicker. Bart would do as you ordered because of the hold you had on him. Old Baldy had seen the shooting, but the poor old addle-brain couldn't get it straightened around to tclL Neither Bart, nor Gilpin, nvr you knew about Baldy until he started talking tonight, probably trying to trade gossip for a couple of drinks. Ad killed him. Why didn’t he cart Baldy off to a safe place and hold him as a witness against Bart? It would make an added rope to hold Bart in line.” "I don’t, know!” Bradley wailed. "Maybe Ad got panicky. 1 didn’t kill Baldy. I didn’t kill Rick Staples—Bart did. I didn't order Frick to shoot Laramie Jones. He wasn’t to start any gunplay. 1 had nothing to do with any killings, I tell you.” "But you did have Frick stir up trouble on the Slash S as long as he was segundo. You did see a chance to ruin me when Frick found out about that beef in the canyon. That was your doing.” "But not murder! Not that! You can’t hang me for any killing! It’s not —” Abruptly thd attorney stopped chattering. He saw that his fear hod loosened his tongue to a dangerous extent. He took a deep breath and released the grip on the file. Vic sensed the change in the man. "I reckon that sort of puts the right brand on a heap of things, Bradley. You’ll remember all you’ve heard, Sid. And you’ll have to be telling it some, day soon.” "I heard,” Sid nodded. He eyed Bradley as he would a coiled rattler. He spoke coldly to the attorney. "You’re enough to. sour a m?n on the whole world!” Vic took Bradley’s elbow and

led him from the room. Tonto, Sid and Tex followed the lawman down the stairs and through the curious crowd to the jaiL Tex remained at the door to hold back the bolder citizens while Sid Har-’i per went for the undertaker. Vic closed and locked the cell door on Bradley and came back into his office where Tonto watted. “We’ll get a sawbones to look at that side. I reckon you’ll want to be in on the last round-up?” "Sure,” Tonto nodded. "Bart took a hand in that shooting up there. He came walking in on it. 1 think I wounded him, but he got away.” “We’ll get him,” Vic said. “He probably won t go to his shack, for he’d figure,we’d look there first” "He knows we’ll look at Ruby’s place here in town,” Tonto added. ’’He’ll be at her hide-out” \"1 thought of that We’ll see the medic, Tonto, and then put a murder brand on Bart Overby. I always figured he’d killed Rick Staples.” -i "But he didn’t," Tonto said quietly. Vic had started toward the door. He stopped as it he’d been slugged, turned, eyes big. “He didn’t? Then who did! You heard what Owen Bradley said.” “I heard. He had it from Ad Gilpin, who was only doing a heap of guessing—just like the rest of* us. Bart Overby let him keep ons guessing, like he’s let all Avrillo do for the past two years. Ban didn’t kill Rick Staples.” "Who!” "It’s simple when you see it just right. Ruby Sevier did that job of murder." "Ruby!" Vic and Tex said it together. “It adds up,” Tonto said. ’TH tell you on the way out there. We’d better get to riding in case Bart and Ruby decide to run for it.” “Doctor first," Vic snapped. The three men checked over their guns and then went to the doctor’s office. Frick’s slug had cut along one rib and out, not touching anything vital. Vic waited impatiently while the doctor worked, and at last led the way outside, making a bee line for the livery stable. Lights glowed everywhere in Avrillo now, the news of the gun fight and the arrest of Owen Bradley having spread like a grass fire before a wind. In a few minutes the three men had saddled and rode north out of town, Vic stopping long enough to swear Tex in as a deputy and order Tonto to wear his badge.

At last Avrillo dropped behind them. Vic moved back beside Tonto.' rYou’d better tell me about Ruby. I don’t savvy how you figure the play." “Everyone in Avrillo was \ too anxious to saddle Bart Ovejrby with that killing," Tonto said slowly, "and everything pointed that way, too, I made the same mistake when I let suspicion take the place of facts and tried to work out the trail. Bart Overby didn’t mind suspicions, since they couldn’t hang Lun. So he let folks talk and get themselves off onto another trail that led nowhere.” “Why?” VftV demanded. “Seems if I was suspected of murder. I’d sure do aij I could to straighten it up.” ■ U “But you aren’t in love,” Tonto lifted his head, “with Ruby Sevier. You don’t know how that could be.’’ “No-o," Vic adrpitted cautiously “But you still ain’t sajd nothing definite yet.” “Rick Staples was not only killed because of Ruby Sevier, but by her - . He had fallen head over heels for her. Ruby told me that. Bart had been mighty mad about it and had passed his warnings to Rick to stay away. He’d also made threats, and he didn't care much who heard them.” “That’s right,” Vic agreed. “He talked mighty mean.” , “Vic, if I threatened youT life and warned you to stay away from my girl, would you let me\ ride right up >to you without belhg a little suspicious? Wouldn’t you be ready for trouble?” 1 i “I would.” 1 “Then Bart Overby didn’t come up tp Rick and say ’Howdy.’ Rick knew what 'the man had threatened. Rick knew he’d been warned to leave Ruby alone. He was right by that shack in the woods. No Rick wouldn’t let Bart Overby get in sixgun range of him.” “But the bullet wound—” . "Small caliber,” Tonto cut In. "Derringer, maybe, but anyhow a small gun. It’s >a gambler’s wea-i pon, so everyone just added it tc what they knew about Bart—’and got the wrong answer. A derringei is also a woman’s gun.” “Damn!” Vic exploded. “Rick would let Ruby come right up close. Maybe they left the shack together. He wouldn’t figure Ruby a killer any more than you would—or I did. She could lean from the saddle and use that' derringer before-Rick knew 1 she even had it in her hancl.” _ (To Be Continued)

Official Figures Show Decatur Has Lost One Person A man or woman has beea lost in Decatur, and officials from Washington, D.C, to the city hall are conducting an intensive search to replace the digit ... er, person. For Decatur's population took a one person tumble, according to the official tabulation released by the census bureau and recently certified |by Gov. Schricker. » Decatur had 7,272 noses counted unofficially aft 4 r census-takers made rounds of the city, asking their questions and tabulating their thbs. i ! .. Then . . . the official figures vTere released and the city was reduced to 7,271, indicating that Decatur lost a figure between last spring and Monday. a A thorough investigation of the situation has been promised. All adding machines in the bureau of census will be checked tor [honesty. All personnel will be given a loyalty check. In fact, all noses . may once again be counted. Conjecture has R that perhaps someone might have slipped in the hole in the grouhd that proved ultimately to be the Decatur water works. That building was in progress about the same tiinje as the census takers were in thei vicinity. However, this has since {been disproved in that all lumps in th'e place were (checked and none of them proved to be human. Another answer to the pityzle was forwarded that left the irhpj-ession there was nothing to worry \about. A man, who claimed to be an eminent scientists, \but whoge name eludes us at the moment, stated simply that what caused the onedigit decrease in the city's population was ‘that we have found the missing link. He h'rumphed majestically just before boarding a freighttrain at the Erie tracks, and said' "That’s all it ia—the missing link.” He tpen flicked a spot of gravy off his -tie, and dashed madly for the freight. And that's, all the information there is available on the Subject—he didn't leave a forwarding/ address. ' ■ , I - ; ' I. ■ Town Goes Shaveless Dexter. Me.
