Louis?" She looked up, startled. "To St. Louis? But how-was "Not so loud!" He glanced apprehensively at the door. There was no telling who might be listening. "I don't want anybody to know about it unless you decide, and nobody to know till after we're gone. But Ann, we could go. I've always wanted to marry you, and there's no time better than now.

She got up and walked to the window. St. Louis.

It was another world. She hadn't seen a city in six years, and after all, they had been engaged for several months now.

"How would we get there?" she asked, turning to face him. "That's a secret!" He laughed.

"Don't tell anybody about it, but I've got a wonderful trip planned for you. I always wanted to do things for you, Ann. We.cd go away and be married within a few hours." "Where?" "By the chaplain at the fort. One of the officers would stand up with me, and there are a couple of officers' wives there, too." "I don't know, Bruce," she said hesitantly. "I'll have to think about it." He smiled and kissed her lightly. "Then think fast, honey. I want to get you away from all this trouble, and quick." When he got outside in the street, he paused, smiling with satisfaction. "I'll show that Dan Shute a thing or two!" he told himself grimly.

"I'll leave him standin' here flat-footed, holdin' the bag. I'll have the girl and the ranch, and won't be within miles of this place!" Abruptly, he turned toward the cabin where he lived. Dan Shute, who had been leaning against the door of the building next door, straightened thoughtfully and snapped his cigarette into the dust. He had seen the satisfied smile on Barkow's face, and knew he had been inside for some time.

Dan Shute stood on the boardwalk, staring into the dust, his big hands on his hips above the heavy guns, his gray hat pulled low, a stubble of corn-white beard along his hard jaws.

"I think," he said to himself, looking up "I'll kill Bruce Barkow!" He added, "And I'm goin' to like the doin' of it!"
