Throwing themselves into the ‘job of crossing would ease the bad hours. that were bound to come. Riding toward the camp’s smoke, he was not quite sure what he would find there.

He seemed to look far down in them and see all of this girl’s quiet courage and something else in their Steady gaze, unreadable to him. Then Clay was at his’ side. His hand took her arm. “Honey, you’d better rest.” His blue eyes turned with a hot stare. ‘That goes for the. whole camp, I figure. Any objections, Lew?” He saw where Clay was leading. The challenge was thinly veiled. Ang ‘that a man even with Clay’s surly temper. should force any issue now showed him how unexpane bitter the reasons must ie. t “We'll rest,’ he said, “beyond the river. We're going across as soon as we eat.” “Not if I know it!” Clay jerked his glance to the girl. “Joy, this is up to us. You don’t have to go on. EB “Ciay!’’ She stared at him with a suddenly lost look. ‘What are you doing?”’ “Joy,’’ Lew said, “never mind. We’re all of us on edge. It’ll: be all right.”” He moved to Clay’s_ side and put his hand on his arm, his body covering the hard grip of his fingers. He turned Clay and: walked him, the grip digging in. They were beyond her hearing when the arm. jerked free. He halted. “Clay, damn your soul.’”’ He could speak without anger now. His own life had -been bitter and twisted enough at times so that he could know the hounding torment of another’s mind. He had that understanding without knowing what was behind it. “This is plenty hard for her,’’ he said. ‘“‘You haven’t made it any easier. What kind of a devil’s driving you, Clay? Pll tell you one thing. You needn’t hide so much maybe. Splann’s quit. ” “Quit?” Clay turned and was suddenly rigid and still. ‘“You mean he pulled out himself?” “Well, no,”’ he said. “I fired him. We had a run-in.” He waited, watching that desperate, driven lo6k set across Clay’s big face. “Spiann will go to the Open A: I know that. he had expected in the answer. “It means,’’ Clay said, ‘“‘you’ve played hell.””’ He swung his broad shoul‘ ders and walked away. Lying there with the midafternoon sun bright upon its surface and the green grass. stretching away beyond the north shore, the Red looked as inviting as a man could want. But a trail boss never could be sure.He had learned that learned it, by grief. Yet he felt that. now was the one time to cross. A man shouldn* wait for the high water to drop to normal level.

It looked only like a smooth red lake half a mile wide and broken There might be some deep channels. The cattle and horses could swim those ‘if they had to. And they could make a cottonwood raft for the wagons. He decided to try the horse herd first. Wheeling from the .bank, he saw around him. But Quarternight was in ‘there. Clay wouldn’t get far ‘with old Rebel John. Off on the flat the pooled longhorns had lain down, resting. Moonlight Bailey and . Jim Hope were grazing the horses apart from them along the creek: He sailed a yell into camp and saw the-men start toward him, all except Clay and Steve.’ And then, waiting for the riders to come out, and with that sign of Clay’s growing rebellion so clear, his mind’ went to a thing he had not thought . of before. Tom Arnold had said for him to look in an old account book that Joy’s wagon carried if anything happened. A moment’s speculation held him, but afterward in the rush of work he did not think of it again. Riding on toward the horse herd, he could see the dead-tired heaviness of his crew. Yet there was no complaint and there would be none. “We'll get across and camp early,”’ he promised. river. Under pressure of the riders strung out behind them they raced to the water and plunged in, sending muddy geysers higher than } their heads. He pulled off on the bank and watched them closely, seeing the flood touch their bellies but come ‘no-farther than that. It was safe enough, he thought, to cross the wagons.
