Jig Hollins, the guy who had played it safe, was just as dead. Eileen Sands was a celebrity in Serene, in Pallastown and the whole Belt. Mex Ramos of the flapping squirrel tails on an old motor scooter now belonged to the history of exploration, though he no longer had real hands or feet, and, very likely, was now dead, somewhere out toward interstellar space.
Me, I was trailin' 'long with this Mex mustanger to learn some of his tricks. When I came back, theah jus' warn't nothin' nothin' a man wants to remember after. Someday I'm gonna hunt me Comanches. Gonna learn me some tricks in this heah war I can use in that business!" There was no change in his expression.
"A hundred head don't all go together," replied the cowboy. "Besides, after looking around, we found the hoofprints of seven ponies." "Which way did they drive?" demanded the ranchman. "Toward old Mex. But I reckon that's only a bluff. It's my idea the headquarters of this gang are right in these mountains, somewhere. Pete thinks so, too. That's why he set the pool as the meeting place.
Well, in the morning, me and Collie got some sardines and crackers to the store and a little coffee. It was goin' over there that we seen the bell and the road and the whole works. I got kind of interested myself in that cañon. I never saw so many moonstones layin' right on top the gravel, and I been in Mex., too. We liked it and we stayed over last night, expectin' to be gone by now."
It was characteristic of him as of all strong men in a crisis that he made no move whatever until he was sure he had grasped the whole situation. Krafft was just going to bed he always retired early when he was called to the door by Mex Ryan. Mex had never come to his house before.
Such equipment was now available in what might once have been called a dime store but with another price-level. The visitors made a game of being awkward and inept, together. It was balm for Helen's sensitivity. "Somebody's got to keep the camera for us, Mex," Frank Nelsen said presently. "Yeah I know. Les'll do it for us," Ramos answered. "He's the best, there.
"Get on," interrupted Krafft impatiently. "We'll take it for granted that you are a great man." Mex looked at him reproachfully, but went on: "About this Cora trial: they come to me for good, reliable witnesses, and I got 'em, and drilled 'em. There ain't nobody in it with me for making any witness watertight." "How many witnesses?" prompted Krafft. "Eight," replied Mex promptly. "How much?"
The third time is the charm. Not your kind of charm, Mex, but one that acts quicker." "What charm?" asked Mex, who had gone behind the bar, and was busy with bottles and cups. She decanted some drops into a flask. "What charm! Copper-cheeks! You don't recollect how I dosed Pepillo that night!" "Yes, that night me save your life. Me your wife then! Me kill dandy?" Palafox chuckled at the question.
In the act of springing to stab, he leaped to his own death, shot through the head. As he fell, the poignard, escaping his relaxed grasp, rang on the floor. Mex, who tiger-like had sprung from her covert, snatched up the shiny weapon, and fiercely stabbed it into Pepillo's lifeless breast.
"Then you don't believe that little Lopez had anything to do with it, Frank?" "What, that Mex boy? Oh! he's out of the business long ago," replied the other. "In what way? Didn't he come along this trail ahead of us?" asked Bob. "Sure thing," Frank went on. "But you see I've missed the marks of that burro's little hoofs for nearly twenty minutes.
