NOW CO ON WITH TIIE STORY Blaze found the saloon filled. At a table six men played cards. They were the only ones present who seem- ed untouched by the, general air of disaster. Blaze bought a drink. The card -game ended. Blaze caught the reflection of the players in the fly -specked mirror over the back, bar. "You boys are too dod-gasted lucky for me," the smallest of them cackled. "I been going for the case -card every time." In the mirror, Blaze could see that he had caught the little man's atten- tion. It was half dark in the saloon, but he sensed the alertness in the other's eyes. Blaze reached for his glass to finish his drink, "Well, if it ain't old Timberline," the little man exclaimed. Blaze set hs drink --ern w'-' ".-_''" to scrutinize his neighbor. Recogni- tion came quickly. "Joe Kent!" he cried. "What are you doing way over here, Tuscarora?" "Why, I been over this a -ways some time. What you loin' here?" "Side me out of town a ways and I'll let you guess. But lay off that Timberline. It belongs in my wicked past. I'm headed for Webster Creek. That out of your way?" Benavide waved him goodbye as he and Blaze left. Tuscarora was a fix- ture in the valley. "What's on, son?" he asked. when they had crossed the little bridge north of town. "You acted back there as if I had handed you a jolt" "You sure gave me a surprise." Blaze admitted.
