g/raRPHEAP BACK FOT THE rttLBOAT
Clete Jones, sometime cowhand, sometime
loafer and. this morning, successful bank
robber, halted his tired gelding in the heat-
stricken draw. Dismounting, he removed the
heavy saddle bags and entered the one-room
.
one-door adobe shack, long abandoned. He
dumped the loot-filled bags onto the earthen
floor.
In the uproar oi Ihe
getaway from the
bank, his two partners had spurred into the
brush back of the small town, while Clete
had galloped for the hills, circling, backtrack-
ing, riding rocky ground wherever he
could
He was sure that he had successfully con-
fused his trail to -this lonely meetingplace.
When Rawhide and Ihe Kid arrived, as
planned, they would divide the money and
go their separate crooked ways. Let's see .
.
a third of seven thousand dollars . .
A rifle blasted! A slug went "Whock!."
striking something outside. The gelding
bucked briefly in fright, then settled again
into exhausted immobility.
For a shocked moment, Clete crouched,
unmoving, then risked a look through the
doorway. His canteen, slung from the saddle
horn, was bleeding its precious water from
a ragged bullet hole.
A cheerful voice called irom a jumble of
rocks outside. "How you like my .44 caliber
calling card, you pack rat? Got yourself
trapped, eh? I'm Deputy Sheriff, name of
Purdy. It's gonna get real hot today. I'll jusl
lake it easy here, with plenty of water, till
you get dry enough to give up"
Cursing. Clete tried a shot with his .45
in the direction ol the voice. Instantly,
a rifle bullet blasted earth into his eyes. He
scrambled into a comer. "You could get hurl
that way." Purdy advised. "Better come oull"
Alter some time, Clele called. "How'd
you unwind my trail so quick?"
"Didn't bother," Purdy replied. "Just fig-
ured where 1 might go, if I was you. Almost
got here before you did. You comin' out?"
"No, small boy, I'm not comin' out! I'm
gonna build a fire in this old stove an' send
up a smoke. My partners are hid way out
in the brush, waitin' for night. They'll know
there's trouble when they see the smoke.
They'll be on your back before dark!"
Soon. Clete had a smoldering fire in the
old stove, fed by moldy straw and wood from
the blink, and an ancient coat found in a
corner. A column of smoke poured straight
up from the rusted stove pipe which pro-
jected from the roof.
Clete laughed derisively and yelled, "You
could leave now. smart boy. an' save your
neck!"
The hidden rifle roared!
What was the fool shooting at? No bullet
could pierce the thick adobe The slug struck
something overhead.
In the rocks; Deputy Purdy again squeezed
the trigger. His first shot had nicked the
stove pipe a foot above the roof. A second
hole appeared, touching the first, widening
the opening.
Then Purdy called, "When you come out.
pilch your gun out first!"
"Blam!" went the rifle. The shot widened
the ragged cut in the stove pipe. Three more
cut it nearly in
-two. and it sagged slowly.
Suddenly, it bent horizontally, closing the
opening, blocking and turning back the
smoke.
Slowly, the shack filled, its door and win-
dow pouring out acrid smoke. Clele Jones
coughed racking
ly,
rubbed his streaming
eyes and crawled on the floor, vainly trying
to escape the sooty cloud that enveloped him
"Hold your fire!" he croaked. "I'm coming
out!" He threw his gun through the door.
"Bring the money!" Purdy ordered. "We'll
ride before your friends get here. On the
way back, you can tell me all about 'em . .
.
names, descriptions, an' where to find 'em!"
Clete fumbled for the saddle bags and
staggered out to the sweet, clean air.
