He gulped another cup of Ylot, black coffee and was gone, heading his big, grain -fed horse for a range v liere trouble rode in the high t. A dozen men sat in the lamplight at Webb Winters' ranch house. The room was laden with tobacco smoke, Bronzed, stern-faced. these men made up the Scissor -Bill fool, Most of there had families. Each of them owned a small herd of cattle and a few acres of land, Nearly all of them had been cow- boys. «'ebb Winters was the last plan to get there. He had been delayed in town until after dark, Mae had : taken Bob's death hard. She had broken down and cried a lot and Webb had done what he could to comfort her. That had taken time. ,Then he'd gone to the undertaker's and picked out a coffin, which had to be loaded oil a wagon and started for Bob Anderson's ranch. He and Mae had hunted up a preacher. So it was almost midnight when Webb ,joined the others. Toe Blake looked hard at slim. I'Wo'd about decided you wasn't comin'. Some of the boys was in Favor of settin' out to find you." "Got delayed in town." "If I was you," spoke one of the crowd, "I wouldn't do much night ridin' alone." another elan had the only two chairs in the cabin. The others sat around on the floor. `"You men know what Happened," Webb told them. "Bob got killed. There was more than one of 'em. He was outnumered, but he put up a scrap. ,There was blood Clear the door and there was blood outside. He fought 'em 'til they downed him. Are you goin' to help me hunt down• the snakes that murdered Bob Anderson, or do I tackle the job alone?" "You can count on me," said Joe Blake. "We're all with you, 1 reckon," spoke another man. "If it's war that Ab Abbott is lookin' for," said a lean -faced man with a scar across his jaw, "lie lain find it, Bob Anderson was a Ivhite inan any way you took hint." Others voiced their opinion. The probem Inas how they would go about this range rear. One man was in favor of running off all the Triangle stock they could round up. Another suggested burn- ing off the Triangle range, The lean -faced man with the knife - scarred jaw opined that the only v;ay to wipe out a snake den is to thumb a gun hammer. The older hien, those who had wives and fam- ilies, kept silent for the most part. Every marl there knew the strengtb of the Triangle outfit. They would be bucking a million-' dollar spread, and Ab Abbott's cowboys were all tough hands, Ab Abbott had threatened that Ire would break up the Scissor -Bill Pool and run every man of them out of the country, This was not the first meeting of the Pool ranch- ers. Thev had met at Joe Blake's place the last time, Joe .Blake had been elected boss of the Pool, The others now waited for that tight- lipped Oklahoman to speak.
