The Wingham Advance-Times, 1939-08-24, Page 6i PAGE SIX I INTO THE SUNSET By JACKSON GREGORY SYNOPSIS Barry Haveril leaves his Texas Lome to see the country, meets a man who has just been shot who turns out to be a cousin of his, Jesse Conroy. Barry helps tane care of his wounds ;and Jesse gives Barry his gun, a very Unusual one. When they part Barry leaves for home but finds the family is no longer there. When he is leav- > ing he suddenly comes across a dead man who turns out to be his brother, Robert. Barry starts searching for the murderer and goes into the mountains to find gold to use for continuing his search. He finds a good spot, gets gold and goes to Tylersville to get money for it. There he meets Judge Blue and his daughter Lucy, who help him to get $450 for his gold. Judge Blue also tells him that the gun Jesse gave him is the gun of a murderer 'known as the Laredo Kid. The Judge invites Barry up to visit him and there Barry discovers the horse and saddle which was stolen from his bro ther Robert when he was killed. He finds out that it belongs to a cowboy who will return that night. He waits .outside the stable and finally a rider comes up who turns out to be Jesse Conroy. He accuses Jesse of killing his brother and of being the Laredo ,Kid. Judge Blue comes up behind, knocks Barry unconscious and tells Jesse (Laredo) that Barry knows where there is gold,and he’s keeping him until he finds out where it is. Barry escapes, however, and as he is riding through the mountains a shot whizzes past his ear. The man who fired the shot explains that he thought Barry was the Laredo Kid and that he had pledged himself to killing the Kid. Barry and his new acquaintance, Timberline, become friends. Barry leaves him in his search for Laredo and finally goes to Red Rock where, jgoing through a valley, he sees three men attempting to captiire a beautiful girl. Barry rescues her, finds where she lives and then heads for a nearby cabin in which he formerly lived. There he finds Timberline occupying the cabin. At the house he meets a man called Tom Haveril whom he suspects may be his cousin Jesse. He accuses him of it but proves nothing and is himself accused of being the Laredo Kid. Barry says his sister, in -town, whom they all know, will iden tify him. They stop in a barroom in town and several of those present -go to see her but she’s missing. Bar ry, and a new friend of his, Ken March, go looking for her and find her in a cabin with Sarboe and two ©ther men. Tom Haveril, the Judge and others then come, after Ken has Jbeen shot, and hang the men in the cabin. When they leave Barry stays on and finds Sarboe isn’t dead but has lost his ability to talk. Tom Haveril returns and Barry and he shoot at each other but neither is killed. Re covered, Barry meets his sister and Ken March, who tell him that Lucy Blue is about to marry Tom Haveril. Barry rushes to the Blue home to try io stop the marriage. “Have it yoru way,” said the Judge. That puzzled Barry. He said, “What the devil do you mean?” “She’s married him already. A good "hour ago.” “Married already?” Barry stared at him incredulously. The Judge merely .nodded and looked back at him in frank interest. “Where is she now?” “Gone,” the Judge said with a flick of malice, “On their honeymoon.” “Damn you!” cried Barry. “Certainly,” smiled the Judge. Then his voice hardened and at last his eyes grew expressive of a purely murder ous anger. “And now you can get the hell out of here!” REAL DETROIT Hotel: of ckaracter and Comfort * with a most unusual downtown location; rij|ht M the heart of th« b<i Jtaert, —__mr rhopping and theatre district, yet with *beautiful parkways on two rider which Maker for coolness and quietude.

After that you are going to tell me where they have gone,” “I know that you came to Tylers ville about twelve years ago, and that you were a rich man when you got there.” “I know that you came from Lar edo, and that you came on the jump!” The Judge’s eyes became mere sha dowed slits between narrowed lids. He didn’t make any retort, “The Laredo Kid too came from Laredo,” said Barry coolly. “When he found you again at Tylers, he found a gold mine! You have been afraid of him ever since. And I hap pen to know why, Judge Blue!” “You’re a damn liar,” said the Judge, Barry laughed. “The Kid has made a ring-tailed baboon out of you. You lost some thing^ didn’t you? A flat steel box with about five hundred pictures in it! And the pictures nicely wrapped up in an old newspaper, more than a dozen years old now! And you thought, damned old jackass that you are, that Laredo still had all that! Well, he hasn’t got, and he doesn’t know where it is—and you’ve let him browbeat you into stealing Lucy!” Slowly as the Judge’s jaws bulged, his face whitened. “You’d better spill all you know, Kid,” he said harshly. “I’ve got that box and everything int it," snapped Barry. “If you’ve got that, Barry,” said the Judge, eyeing him, “I’ll give you fifty thousand dollars—•” '“You’d give the shirt off your back, damn you! Now, where’s Lucy? Where’s the man you let her marry,” “I’m going out and kill him,” said Judge Blue. "And I’m going right now.” Barry caught him by the shoulder. “I’m in a hurry, man! Do you think I want to wait? Look here, Parker Blue; I’ve got that box and all that’s in it; I’ve got you over a rain barrel, like Laredo used to have you! And I say: Where are they now?” “I’ll go with you,” said the Judge. “He’-s taken her to his ranch,” said the Judge as theiwtwo horses jumped under them. “Hello, who’s there?” Anothet rider, seeming in haste like thems&lves, was bearing down on them. Old Timberline’s voice piped up: “Hi, you fellers. One of you Bar ry Haveril?” “I’m in a hurry, Timber,” said Bar ry, pulling down reluctantly. “What’s wanted?” “Where you goin’ Barry? Who’s that with you?” “It’s Tudge Blue. We’re riding ov er to Tom Haveril’s ranch. He has taken Lucy over there.” “An’ you two was goin’ without me,” muttered Timber reproachfully. “Come ahead then,” said Barry, and again he and the Judge shook out their reins. Their .way led them through the notch just above Red Rock, along the high ridge and down into the first of several parallel valleys. The Judge led the way and, though Barry was forc ed to follow, he could find little fault with the pace that was set. Timber line, doing his best to keep up, began to lag. When they came under the cotton woods in the shade of which the ranch house had been built, the Judge was ahead. He had dismounted when Bar ry came up with him. He went up the steps, his spurs jingling, his high boots thumping. He knocked and called jovially: “Hey, you young folks! It’s the Judge, bringing you a wedding pres ent he ought to have thought of soon er. Open up, Tom. Open, Lucy.” Tom Haveril’s voice rang out sharp ly, “Who’s with you?” “One of the boys. He’s helping me tote your surprise, Tom.” The door opened only a little; the Judge’s bulk thrust it farther back' as he shoved on in. And close behind him came Barry. Incredibly quick, Tom Haveril plac ed himself behind Lucy, “I thought so!” he said in cold an ger. ^*You and Barry Haveril, huh?” When the, Judge laughed, “It’s no thing, Tom; just a friendly visit,” Lucy came near fainting with cold horror. * . ; *•I * | “Tom!” screamed Lucy, “They’ve come to kill you!” “Sure,” said Tom Haveril. “Sure?’ His gun was in bis Hand now, nosing past Lucy’s waist; his eyes burning' with rage and hate, gleaming over Lucy’s curly head. “You cowardly rat!” Barty roared/ “Step out like a man.” “No!” screamed Lucy, and threw an arm backward, trying to get it around Tom Haveril-. “No, Tom! They'll kill you. They are cowards—•” He just laughed, but he remained as watchful as a tiger about to pounce. , “You two come at me in double harness,” he said. • “That means you’ve got together about things, don’t it?” He laughed again. ■ . “What he got,” said-Tom Haveril, “was a lot of pictures and un old Lar edo newspaper! I guess he told you that? Well, that’s afl loss that might lose you a nice pot of money, but .it wouldn’t stretch your neck, would .it? Might lose you the money, I said — but wouldn’t if you played along with me! String your chips with Barry Haveril, and where are you?” "You started out like you were go ing to speak quite a piece, Tom. Bog ged down, though, didn’t you? I don’t hear anything that makes much sense. “You’re listening for it though!” jeered Tom Haveril. “Your ears are wide open, and you’re beginning to think already that you came pretty close making a bad mistake! Well, you did. Barry got those things—but he didn’t get the ace T have in the hole. You bet I’ve still got' it. And if you had the bad luck to burn me, down tonight—well, it would be just too bad for Judge Parker Blue, form erly of Laredo! You’d hang, just as sure as crab apples grow on a crab apple tree.” ■ . . "You talk big, Tom Haveril, and ever did,” scoffed the- Judge,- .but he sounded uneasy. , “You’ve got nothing to gain here tonight, Judge,” said Tom Haveril swiftly, “and everything to lose. I might get killed—Lucy might get kill ed—and where would you lie?” Right there^Barry -knew that Tom Haveril had as good as won the trick'. The Judge cleared his throat. He said gravely, "Here, let’s talk this thing over.” “Sure,” said Tom Haveril. “How about it, Cousin Barry? Want to call the party off for this time?” “I’ve been looking for you more than two years, Laredo,” said Barry angrily. “I’ve followed you all the way out to California and back. Come into the open and fight it out.” “On, my wedding night?” grinned Tom Haveril. “Let me have alone with Tom Judge swiftly. ‘ next room. You ever you want to. Albright, Tom?” Without the least hesitation Tom Haveril answered! “Anything you say Judge. Sure it’s all right with me. Suit you, Sundown?” , A look flashed from Tom Haveril to Judge Blue. Barry read it aright, Tom Haveril was simply making sure that the Judge would keep out of it; if the Judge nodded ever SO slightly, if his guarded eyes said, “YeS,”>Tom Haveril was hair-trigger set to start Shooting. He could not have failed to kill Barry, lior could Barry possibly have, fired back. It was just then a board creaked in the room beyond the kfitchen-‘-as a door opened behind Tim Haveril’s back. BaHy, fascinated, watched the door open; he saw the barrel of a shotgun thrust into the lamplight; he saw old Timberline’s shrewd eyes squinting along the barrel, "I been listenin’ a cottpla minutes,” said Timber acidly, “Seems like it was about time a man with a shotgun showed up. Am I right, pardner?” “If you're wrong no man was ever right!” cried Barry, “Now, you listen to me, Tom Haveril!” a half dozen Words Haveril,” put in the, 'We’ll Step into the can tell Lucy what- WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES THE STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION SIEMLiNG TOWE* TORONTO Tom^ Haveril’s lean jaws bulged from the strain he set on them, and his eyes glittered feverishly out of a slowly whitening face. “Any man who shoots is sure to kill Lucy,” he said quickly. “Hell, no,” said Timberline, and the boards creaked again as he came a step nearer. “I c’n shove the muzzle close up to- the back o’ your head, snugglin’ it up, say, under your left' ear>—” “Call him’ off, Sundown!” yelled Tom Haveril. “Quick, or I start shooting—and I’ll get you if I die the nextvminute!” Barry was tempted then to shout to his old friend, ‘“Blow his damn’ head, off, Timber!” But Lucy had spun about and her arms were around^Tom Haveril, and her two hands were lift ed to protect the back of his head. So what Barry said was, “Hold it, Timber! These two want a word or two together. Let them 'have it, out ins the kitchen!' Kill the first one that bats an eye. And I’ll have two words here with Lucy!” ' ■ Tom Haveril freed himself from Lucy’s arms, called, “Come ahead, Judge,” dropped his guns to the floor and moved into the kitchen. Timber line back off slowly/ always keeping him covered. ■A moment later she and Barry were alone, and Timberline was guarding his two prisoners in the kitchen. She stood with rer hands dawn at her sid es, her face lifted defiantly, her eyes blazing into Barry’s. “If you’ve got anything to say to me,” she /aid hotly, "please say it— and go!” “Lucy,” he pleaded earnestly, “I’ve come here just to save you, can’t you see?” She scarcely flicked her eyes scorn fully at him; there was nothing but contempt in her bitter smile. “YouVe got to believe what 1’imgo- ing to tell you!” he blurted out, his own’temper uncertain. * . “I’ll .never believe a single word you ever .say! If you’re waiting for that time to come—Oh; why don’t you go!” In the next room he could hear the Judge and Tom Haveril speaking hur-. riedly; he could not see them but saw Timberline, his shotgun gripped, with hard, competent hands. He thought: "If I could just make her listen to me! If I could tell her the whole thing—” He gathered up the weapons which the Judge and Tom Harevil had “shed” at Timberline’s staccato com mand, and threw them as far as he could out through the door into the dark.
