dead or alive.
CHAPTER X Riding straight to the homo of Maria Vulesquez Jeff arrived as the afternoon sun was beating down on the white adobe structure. Only Marla was at homo. She disguised her astonishment at seeing this man who was supposed to be safely in Jail and came forward to welcome him as of old. ‘•Jeff! Where you been? Come in! Como in!" she beamed, her white teeth flashing in a smile. “Where’s Davie? Where’s Sam?” the man demanded shortly. "Oh — Davie is here, and Sam — he'll be here purty queek.” "Fine I’ll wait for hi m.” II e a. o v e d into the living room, selected an armless rockingchatr and moved it deliberately so that It iaced the front
door.
"You have dreenk. Jeff? Wine or wheesky?" Maria asked cheerfully. “No, thanks, Maria — a little
later.”
As he spoke the bedroom door opened and Davie, unharmed, ran In and threw his arms wildly about his hero Once there he gave way at last and began
to sob.
"Don’ cry. Davie,” Jeff patted him reassuringly. “Everything is all
right.” Gently a: a mother be rocked the boy until his sobs ceased. Then he carried him back Into the bedroom and returned to continue his
vigil.
^ Half an hour later San. rode up tdthe house. Catching sight of Jeff's horse at the hitch rack, he drew both guns from their holsters and tip oed to the hack entrance of the hotyse. Kicking open the kitchen door he confronted his termer pal. Jeft whirled like a flash but had no time to draw. ‘■Take his guns, Marla,” Sam commayded. Jeff d(d not move from his chair. Marla hesitated. "Haven't you heard that a Ranger nevefl gives up his guns?”
I had tiptoed out of the bedroom and was croin hing on a chair beside the table. And ou that table were sevj oral heavy objects, Including a j corked whiskey bottle. "I always liked you. Jeff," pleaded Sam, fiddling uncertainly with his guns. "Why d'you have to come prowling around now?" “Why'd you kill Wahoo? 1 thought you liked him too.” “Killing's (oo yood for a doublecrosscr.” Sam showed his tobaccostained teeth. "1 will say this for you—you slated your case plain.” “I'll state it plain again. I quit the Ranger service rather than go after you, and Wahoo took my place, but this time I don't quit. Either you’re going with me poaceful-llke or I’m going to have to kill you like you killed Wahoo.” "Jeff," the bandit laughed shakily, "you always was the craziest maverick ever lived. You talkin' about killing me. and all 1 got to do Is move my linger ami blow you right through (he house.” "That don't mean anything, Sam.
"You afti't a Ranger any longer and besides I've got the drop on
you.” Sam grlnnet’ confidently. ‘T see yoi have, but It ain’t goln’
to do you any good.”
“You meal) I'm going to have to kill you sitting there Just like that?" "Unless you want me to kill you first.” As he s tole. Jeff noticed out of the corner of Uls eye that Davie
“When you shoot I’m going to grab my gun” Soon ns you shoot I'm going to grab both my guns and start pumping lead into you fast as i can. Remember I've got surer aim than you
ever had.”
For a moment Sam stared helplessly at his tormenter. Then he tried a new tack. "Remember that girl 1 took away from you in Saint Louie?
“Arabella?”
"Yeah. Well, I toll you what I’m going to do. Maria here is a great gal—good cook and number one on the love-making. Me and the boys have been thinking of moseyin’ for California. . . I’ve made a nice stake—I'll promise to get out and you can have your cut, as usual— and—I'll throw in Maria to boot. What do you say?” “Too late. Sam.” Jeff's voice was like ice. “I say you better drop them guns and come with me.” “I don’t want to kill you!” the bandit exclaimed with a so-help-me expression on his face. "Didn’t want to kill Wahoo either, ’ceptin' he got mo riled. Why, 1 . . .’’ At that moment Davie saw his op-
portunity. Picking up the whiskey bottle Ue hurled it with all his might at Sam's head. The bandit ducked and tired wildly as he sprinted for the kitchen door Jeff returned the fire hut his a e was not so good after all. Maria caught Davie to tier bosom and dragged blm into the safety of tile bedroom as the fusil lade continued. Cursing wltb fury at his own weakness, Sam leaped on ms horse and was spurring away when Jeff leaped through the door and fired again. The horse faltered in its stride, then fell, throwing the bandit over Us heaa. McGee sprang expertly to his feet, then plunged into the brush which surrounded the cabin in dense thick-
ets.
‘Tm not going to kill you. Jeff” he shouted back. “But you'll never
get me in here."
Hut the road agent had underestimated Hawkins’ ability as a tracker. Try as he would he could not widen the distance between them as both fought their wa» through the undergrowth. From time to time a slug from the
Ranger's pistol would come dan-
gerously close to
the hunted man, but he would not
surrender. Once,
when ho had man-
aged to catch a
breathing spell ho shouted back: 'TU lead you
through this
brush until your
tongue's bangin’ out, you loug-leg-ged Jack rabbit.”
’’There might bo
some chance for you, kid. If you’d give up and let
me take you In,”
Jeff shouted back.
"Goin' on this way
ain't gonna do
you a bit of good." He fired repeatedly in the direction of Sam's voice. There was no
reply, nor did the brush ahead give evidence of the
bandit’s movements. The Ranger crept forward ci-utiously, tearing a trap. Ho tried to peer ove.- the thick vegetation for some sight ot his enemy. Then he crouche< suddenly as Sam, ttred ot running away at last, crept into view over a huge boulder, a revolver in either hand. "Drop your guns, you tool, I've got you covered!" yelled Jeff. Perhaps Sara did not hoar. Per haps he did not care. Perhaps h» Intended to shoot it out with his former friend. Anyway he crawled
on doggedly.
Deliberately Jeft took aim and fired. The bandit gasped and slid slowly from his rock. Almost reverently the Ranger walked forward and removed the guns from Sam’s lifeless hands. Then, his victory bitter In his mouth but conscious of the fact that hs had done his duty as a Ranger, avenged Wahoo’s death and rescued Davie, ho turned and plodded slowly back toward the home of Maria Valesques.
