THE TENDERFOOT

GEORGE B. RODNEY

Author of “The Coronado Trail”,
“The Canyon Trail”, Etc.

“SYNOPSIS

“You've fallen heir to a half-share
in plenty of trouble,” the lawyer told
Gerald Keene. “The Broken Spur has
been systematically looting the ranch,
and old Joe Carr, your partner, is
drinking himself into ruin.”

Dad Kane, desert rat and luckless
prospectors till now returns to tell
Dustin and Spike Goddard, who had
grubstaked him, of his discovery of
a rich gold mine, and shows samples
of the ore.

Dustin unexpectedly comes along
while Stone and Edith are riding fence,
and seeing them, stops and talks to
Edith. He mentions their dispute
could be settled by marrying him, and
Edith refuses his proposal with re-
marks that make Dustin furious. He
insults Stone, who promptly throws
him into a pool of water.

Stone tells Crewe, his foreman,
about his meeting with Dustin. Stone
and Crewe go to Seco to send a tele-
gram to Gerald Keene. While at
Seco an attempt is made to kill Stone,
who proves more than a match for
his enemies.

Dustin learns that Gerald Keene
has been sent for, and also that Duro

CHAPTER XII.

Duro Stone summed up affairs fair-
ly accurately as he headed for Seco.
That summary included Joe Carr,
Frank Crewe, the Hour-glass, Dustin,
Kane (whom he knew not) and. . .
Edith! He grinned a little as he
realized that she was not to be
judged by any ordinary standards,
‘Wet. ven
“The dirty hound... .
to marry her. .. .”

That appealed to his sense of
humor and he chuckled.

“To be sensible. . .IfIcan...
How can I blame another man for
wantin’ to do what I want to do my-
self? Dog-gone it! It makes me
tired. I’ve spread my rope from
Canada to Mexico and now I’ve come
to the end of the trail. . . .” Sud-
denly he knew that, if Edith Carr]
was at the end of that trail to wel-
come him, he wanted no other trail.

“All the same that man Dustin's
a dirty hound,” he muttered. ‘Now
to try to find out what I want. .
Here’s Seco. . 54

Seco was an ordinary cow-town
with a courthouse in the middle of a
square from which the rest of the
town radiated. He parked in front
of a small frame building that bore
the sign:

| irrelevantly.

A slouching man rose from a half-
recumbent position across a desk and
eyed him es he entered. Stone
grinned affaply and thrust out a
hand.

“My name's Stone,” he said pleas-

antly. “I work for Carr at the Hour-
glass. Are you Mr. Jameson by any
chance?”

“Not by chance, by design and for
my sins I think.” said Jameson with
a@ sour grin. “What can I do for
you?”

“Have you got an encyclopedia in
the office and if so, will you let me
consult it?”

“Over on the shelf yonder,”
Jameson. “Help yourself.”

He watched curiously as Stone took
down volume after volume. When he
replaced the last with a sigh as of
disappointment, Jameson became
frankly curious.

“Can't you find it?” he asked.

“It's not in the book . . .” Stone
perched on the desk and rolled a
cigarette. “Maybe you can help me,
Mr. Jameson. Have you lived long in
this part of the country?”

Jameson went to the dusty window
and pointed to the great bulk of
Myrant Peak that thrust above the
skyline.

“When I first came here,” he said,
“that peak was just a hole in the

Are you the man who slapped a
drink of whisky in Corse’s eyes in
the Silver Dollar?”

“TI reckon I did,” said Stone, grin-
ning. “Sometimes I’m mighty care-
less where I throw my heel-taps.
Why?”

“It was you, too, who had the
quarrel with Sam Dustin and who
dumped him into Soda Springs, hey?”

Stone nodded. He wondered how
and where Jameson had learned of
that. Jameson enlightened him.

“My wife heard it . from a
friend and she told me. I haven't)
sald a word about it. I thought it!

that item you want in the encyclo-|
pedia,” said Jameson shortly. i=

“First of all. - Do you know
an old desert-rat named Kane?”

“Who? Dad Kane? Old man}
Shammy-skin Kane? They call him
that because he always wears a shirt |
made of chamois skin. He says he}
can use it with his mercury to try
out his gold ore . . when he finds |
it. Of course I know him.”

“Is he straight?"

“Absolutely. That is, he's perfect- |
ly honest except in minin’ matters. |
He’s queer though. Tell me what|
these questions mean.”

Stone thrust a hand deep into his |
coat-pocket and kept it there while |
he studied Jameson. He liked what |
le saw and his face broke into a|
pleasant smile.

“I've been on the Hour-glass pay-/|
roll for four months now,” he sald

“It's a good outfit,” said Jameson. |
“I'm sorry they've had so much hard |
luck. Now take Joe Car. He's a fine

old fellow but he has dropped behind
in the race for money and he will
never catch up. He just don’t know
what it’s all about. He’s got a good
outfit, too, but a good body can’t
help if the head is gone. Of course
he's got a good man in Frank Crewe.

Jameson’s grim face instantly lt
with a light that there was no mis-
taking. Even the silence answered
Stone's half-formed question.
“Yeah,” said Jameson quietly.
“Edith . . What about her?”
“Crewe told me that, while Edith
was out riding with me, that man
Dustin came over to the Hour-glass.
He saw old man Carr and told him
that he wants to marry Edith. . .”
Evan Jameson, the lanky editor of
the moribund paper that certainly
could not support him, threw himself
across his desk and grabbed at
Stone’s arm.
“Tell me that again,’ he said
earnestly. “See if I’m hearin’ right.”
Stone told him curtly and every
word sank in. Jameson nodded once
or twice and seated himself on the
edge of the desk.
“You listen to me,’’ he said quietly.
“You've been some months at the
Hour-glass. You must know how

things are out there. -” Stone
nodded. “I thought so. I’ve
heard a lot of you. ... From...

Oh, from some people and what I've
heard I likes,> . . Wait... .” He
stopped Stone’s attempted speech.
“I’m a married man, Stone. I’ve
got the finest wife in the world and
we've got two kids. One’s a boy
named for me. The other’s a girl,
Mabel; named for her mother. Some
day when you have kids of your own,
you'll understand what I’m tryin’ to
tell you. Last year the boy
was taken mighty sick while I was
away. Edith Carr only knew us
fairly well but she stopped in from
time to time to see if she could help
Mabel. I was over at Wilton longer

and he was generally full. I got
back as soon as I could make it . . .
It had been a cold night and Edith
Carr, hearin’ how sick the boy was,
spent it with Mabel. They spent
that night tryin’ to cook the poison

out of him. . . . You know how it is
I reckon. Know anything about
diphtheria?”

Stone shook his head.

“It stops up all the tubes and
chokes the person to death. You've
got to be right on the job .
Mabel was played out. . She was
sick, too. . . The boy was taken
sick in the night an’ Mabel . . . Well,
she says frankly that she lost her
nerve and didn’t know what to do.
« She stood there watchin’ the
boy choke to death before her eyes.

in! She saw what was takin’ place.
. . . She saw Mabel couldn’t help
herself. . She pushed Mabel out

off a hot-water bottle and stuck it
down the kid’s throat. . . Then...
By God, Stone . .! She sucked it

ask what we think of Edith Carr?”

There was no need. After one
brief glance at Jameson, Stone knew
that he could ‘go the limit.”

‘Tl tell you why I want to find old
Man Kane,” he sald.

He perched on the desk and told
Jameson of his first row with Dustin.
He told him of the fight wtih Corse

“| and Gray in the hills above the ranch.

He told how he found old Kane’s lost
notebook and of the trip that he
took with Edith. Finally he laid on
the desk the pieces of rock from the
mine.

‘I can get Buxton right here in
town to assay 'em,” said Jameson.
“He'll will not talk if I tell him not
fo. ... Govon. . ...”

“Well . . We were riding home
when Dustin, who had been at the
Hour-glass, came peltin’ down the
trail and tried to ride me down in

have slipped or something for Dus-
tin was upset. (Jameson's eyes
gleamed at that.) While he was lyin’
there unconscious, I went through his
pockets. I found a note from Joe
Carr to Pegram of the Seco bank for
eleven thousand dollars, Pegram had
sold it to Dustin. Then, when I got
to the Hour-glass, Crewe told me that
Dustin had come there to tell Carr
that he wants to marry Edith... .”

“Well . . .?’ Jameson's voice took
a tool edge. “Goon. . .”

“Then I took the car and came
here... « <

“To look for something in an en-
cyclopedia,” said Jameson.

Stone grinned. “You stick to the
point, don’t you? Look here. . .”
And he laid on the littered table an
envelope and the cigarette that he
had taken from Dustin's pocket. He
emptied the envelope on the desk and
fingered the contentg—three or four
stubs of burned cigarettes and a
little pile of brown dust. Then he
picked up the whole cigarette that he
had taken from Dustin.

“These are not tobacco,” he said.
“TI found the stubs in the camp where
Kane must have gone with Dustin.

I don't know. I want to find Kane.
This stuff may be marahuana. . . .
I don’t know it. I know it is not
tobacco in any form. Do you know

THE SW: MLEST SMILE
The sweetest smile I ever saw

Whatever life might do.

Or gladness as of peace,
