MILLER’S DISLIKE WAS naked in his eyes. “Rud’s dead now,” he said. “Maybe you won’t be the boss anymore. Maybe she’ll want a younger man for boss!”

The import of his words was like a blow across the face. Suddenly I wanted to kill him, suddenly I was going to. Canaval’s voice was a cool breath of air through my fevered brain. “That will be for Miss Olga to decide.” He turned to her. “Do you wish me to continue as foreman?”

“Naturally!” Her voice was cold and even, and in that moment I was proud of her. “And your first job will be to fire Bodie Miller!”

Miller’s face went white with fury, and his lips bared back from his teeth. Before he could speak, I interfered. “Don’t say it, Bodie! Don’t say it!” I stepped forward to face him across Maclaren’s body.

The malignancy of his expression was unbelievable. “You an’ me are goin’ to meet,” he said, staring at me.

“When you’re ready, Bodie.” Deliberately, not wanting the fight here, now, I turned my back on him.

Chapin and Canaval joined me while the men loaded the body into a buckboard. “We don’t think you’re guilty, Sabre. Have you any ideas?”

“Only that I believe he was killed elsewhere and carried here to cast blame on me. I don’t believe it was Pinder. He would never shoot Maclaren in the back.”

“You think Park did it?” Canaval demanded.

“Peace between myself and Maclaren would be the last thing he’d want,” I said.

Bob Benaras was waiting for me. “You can use Jonathan an’ Jolly,” he said. “I ain’t got work enough to keep ’em out of mischief.”

He was not fooling me in the least. “Thanks. I can use them to spell Mulvaney on lookout, and there’s plenty of work to do.”
