I was a bum, in Gunsight; but back in New York, where they think in millions, they treated me like a king." "I don't want to talk to you," rumbled L. W. moving off, "you lied once too often, and I've quit ye!" "All right!" answered Rimrock, "that suits me, too. All I ask is what's the damage?"

All you have to do is to shoot it down and scoop it up with a steam shovel. Now I've located the whole danged mountain and done most of my discovery work, but if some feller don't give me a boost, like taking that prospector a canteen of water, I've either got to lose my mine or sit down and starve to death. If I'd never done anything, it'd be different, but you know that I made the Gunsight."

He was perfectly calm, but in his staring blue eyes the death look still burned like live coals; and it was only when Hassayamp, risking his life from heart failure, toiled up and took charge of his claim that he could be persuaded to give himself up. Rimrock came back to Gunsight in charge of a deputy sheriff and with the angry glow still in his eyes.

I guess you remember when I offered you a share in my mine for two thousand dollars or less; but now, by grab, I've staked it all and you Gunsight boys can go bust. And I give you fair warning!" he shouted fiercely, "I'll say it to all of you the first man that jumps me, I'll kill him!" "Well, who's trying to jump you?" asked L. W. irritably. "What's biting you, anyway?

In this wonderful range the Indians believe the winds are made, and that they battle for supremacy over Gunsight Pass. I have heard an old story, too, that is said to have been generally believed by the Blackfeet, in which a monster bull-elk that lives in Gunsight Pass lords it over the winds.

Of course it's hard for men to talk much out on the range, and we didn't talk. We only set for quite a while, with our knees up, breaking sticks and looking off at the Gunsight Gap, on top of the range just as if we hadn't saw it there any day these past forty years. I was plenty scared about this new move and so was he.

In the jumping of the Gunsight there had been others just as active, but Rimrock had forgiven them all but McBain. Even the piratical L. W., for all his treachery, was still within the pale of his friendship. But this tall, lanky Scotchman, always lurking within the law as a spider hides for safety in its hole, invoked nothing but his anger and contempt.

With his pockets full of money it was suddenly impossible for Rimrock to spend a dollar. In the Alamo Saloon, where his friends were all gathered in a determined assault on the bar, his popularity was so intense that the drinks fairly jumped at him and he slipped out the back way to escape. There was one duty more both a duty and a pleasure and he headed for the Gunsight Hotel.

"in the town of Gunsight, county of Geronimo, Territory of Arizona, on Tuesday, the 22nd day of December, to transact the following business, viz: "1 to elect a Board of Directors "2 to transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting." Rimrock read it over and his courage failed him after all he was afraid to face her.

And back at Gunsight, trying to forget her hate, Mary Fortune fought her battle alone. There was great excitement it amounted almost to a panic when Mary Fortune stepped in on Jepson. During her unexplained absence he had naturally taken charge of things, with L. W. of course, to advise; and to facilitate business he had moved into the main office where he could work with the records at hand.
