From far hack in the shadowy room, Virginia watched through the open doorway. Barron sat loosely in the saddle, 30 feet from Phil, his face dark and savage. His voice rang out: "Lanya gave you away, Lawrence. I came at once," "I was warned," Phil replied flat- ly. "I was waiting." "You should have known 1 wouldn't let you get away With rob- bing me." "it hurts, eh. When the thief is robbed." Barron's hands lay crossed on his saddle horn, "Just what do you mean by that?" Phil's voice was sharp. "Your Mexican and Indian vaqueros rustl- ed my cattle. And not only mine but stock belonging to every other small rancher in the valley!" "You know a lot, Lawrence," "I've been spying or, you for months, Barron. And I know too about your deal with Natchi-" IIIs voice broke off. and he was suddenly crouched low and darting sideways. The roar of his unhol- atered gun burst as an echo to Barron's shot. It had happened so quickly that Virginia had not been able to follow the play; she only knew that Phil lay now flat in the dust. She gave a frightened cry and ran out into the sunglare. She saw Steve Barron still sitting Small cuddle toys. Each toy is made of two identical pieces trim- med with ears or wings.

Virginia reached Phil and dropped to her knees be- side him, Barron's voice lashed out. "Move aside!" She held herself low as a shield. "Nol" she cried hysterically, He was silent for so- long that she raised herself to look at him. He had holstered his gun. He was swaying in the saddle, his right hand clamped against his right side where a crimson patch had sudden- ly come to his shirt. The wound drew his face into tight lines. Then, groping for the reins, he turned his horse and rode slowly out into the desert. Virginia watched his sway- ing, drooping figure until it grew small. Phil's movement drew her eyes to him. He was lifting himself up, both hands placed against the ground. His face was set hard with pain.. "Phil!"

"Its all right, Phil," she told him The next hour was a bewildered nlemtn'y afterward. Virginia was only vaguely aware that she had boiled water, washed and bandag- ed the cruel wound above Phil's left knee. She was dazed by the sharking violence. She was alarmed by Phil's suffering eyes. She sat by him and held his hand. He looked very weak. Perspiration stood in glistening beads on his forehead She wiped it away with a cool, wet cloth. He slid not talk at all but stared dully at the ceiling. He lay very still for what seemed hours. She realized finally that his eyes were closed. His breathing ryas short and quick. She was Startled more to find him asleep. Lanya Currey came in the half- light of dusk. She had ridden alone across those eight miles of danger- ous country; a heavy skirt, a man- nish shirt. dne.sion boots, and a som brero, She crossed at once to Phil and bent over him. She removed her hat and her dark hair fell in soft waves to her neck. She lay a gen- tle hand on his forehead. Virginia felt sudden jealousy as she watched. "He has a fever," Lanya said soft- ly. "It's had then?" "I don't know," Virginia said heavily. "I know so little -I'm so helpless about such things."
