When he made the divvy hyar . he give me his share of. thet sixteen thonsand. It’s hyar in my coat. You an’ Jim air welcome to it, ‘Cause where I’m’ goin’-I won't need any.” “Sparrow, it was a long story. fer a sick man—an’ hard to tell,” said Smoky, feelingly. “Jim an’ me Will re spect your confidence. An’ if you pull througsh—as I hope you do—we'll never squeak, But, pard, don’t be surprised at what comes off.” Five days later Sparrowhawk: Latimer died during the night, after a short interval of improvement which gave his comrades renewed hope. He passe@ away alone, evidently in agony, to judge from his distorted face. “Wal, I dont know but thet Sparrow’s better olf,” remarked Smoky, with pathos, They buried him -in_ his tarpaulin on the spot, and divided his effects among them by drawing, lots. “What'd yon do with the money you found on him?” queried Hays. “We didn't find none. Sparrow gave it to me an’ Jim some days ago,” re‘plied Smoky. “Neckon. you better divide it.” “Ump-uinm,” rejoined Smoky, nonchalaitly, his beady little eyes on the chief. “Why not?’ “Wal, Sparrow wanted-us to have it, not, I reckon, because we took care of him when you forgot, but jest because he cottoned to us.” “Smoky, tell Hays the other reason,” spoke up Jim. “Thet’ll wait, Jim. No hurry. An’ I’m not so shore Sparrow wanted us to tell” Hank Hays turned livid. “Ahuh. Mebbe you’d both be wise to stay shet up,” he said and left, “Fellers,” said Brad Lincoln, turning to the others, “I’ve had a hunch all along there was a hitch in this deal. Air you with me _ in demandin’ a showdown from Smoky an’ Jim?” “We shore air,” rejoined Bridges, and Mac and Happy Jack expressed like loyalty. “Smoky, you’re square. If there’s anythin’, we want to know.” “Mebbe we can slick it over,” replied Smoky, smoothly. “If we win all the boss’ money—an’ he’ll shore be easy now with thet gurl on his mind— T reckon there won’t be any sense, in tellin’ at all. Bh? Jim? “T don’t make any rash promises, Smoky,” returned Jim. “I admire you a lot, Slocum, but I’m thinking you run this into the ground. In all justice these men ought to be told something.” = “t-say-cards. You fellers can’t keep it forever,” rejoined Lincoln, darkly. From. that -hour dated the grim and passionate gambling in which they all participated. With one man on lookout duty the others spent most of the daylight hours sitting at Happy Jack’s table of cottonwood poles, Jim had separated his money into two parts—one consisting of the bills of large denomination, and the other. of small. The latter he kept ont for. gambling, intending to quit when it was lost. But fortune was fickle. He did not lose it. Instead, he won steadily. There was no hope of his getting out ‘of the game so long as he was ahead. He wanted to watch, think, plan. Luck changed eventually, and he lost all he had won, Then he seesawed for a day, before he struck another streak of losing, and lost everything. “I’m cleaned,” he said, rising. “But, by gosh, I gave you a run,” ‘Tm way ahead. I'll lend you some,” offered Havys, F “No, thanks, I’m glad to get off this well. [’ll go up to the rock and send Mac down. From now on I'll do most of the lookout work. I like it,” Jim was glad this phase of his con* nection with the outfit was past. He had played for days, won and lost, all in the interest of the scheme fermenting in his mind. He wanted to be alone, If nothing else intervened, this gambling would lead to the inevitable quarrel, Whether Hays won all the money or lost what he had, there would be a fight. At once arestless, baffled, harried condition of mind seemed to leave Jim. To face those men hour after hour, day after day, hiding his thoughts, had engendered irritation. When thessplit came and the shooting began Jim wanted to be around. He would help it along considerably. One day, when he was returning to camp, somewhat before sunset, he heard a shot. He listened for others, None came. The moment he entered the oval, to see Hays striding for the cabin, his hair standing up, and his men grouped outside of the camp shelter, Jim knew. that there had been trouble. “What now, Smoky?’ “Hank did fer Brad.” “How? Why? You don’t mean Hays beat Lincoln to a gun?’ :. “He did, Jim,’ ejaculated Slocum. “He bored Brad. I was the only feller who seen it. The rest was duckin’.” “What was it about. Smoky?" “Wal, Brad has been giitin’ sorer every day, an’ today we cleaned him, 3rad opened up on Hank, no doubt meanin’ to call him fer fair. But Brad didn't git goin’ good before Hank went fer his gun.” ~ “Smoky, he had his mind made up,” declared Jim,. tensely. “Shore. Thet’s the queer part of it. Hank was not goin” to let. Brad spit out much. . .An’ friend .Jim, thet’s ROBBERS’ a hunch fer-us.” “Hays can't beat-me to a gun,” rejoined Jim, with a cold ring in “his voice. “Nor me either, Thet’s a safe bet.” They reached the camp, Lincoln lay face down. over the table. his right arm hanging low, his gun lying near his hand. “Lend a hand, some of you,” ordered Slocum, peremptorily. They carried Lincoln, face down, across the oval to the lower side of the cottonwood grove, and in half an hour he had been consigned to earth, and his possessions divided among the men who had buried him. “Grave number two!” speculated Smoky. “Fellers, ite runs in my mind thet Robbers’ Roost in these next twenty years will be sprinkled al] over with graves.” “Tlow so, when nobody. has any ideé where it is?” “Heeseman will find it, an’ Morley, an’ after them many more,” concluded Sltcum, prophetically. ‘Let's rustle out ofthe hole,” gested Bridges.
