Walt Amos turned his back on
them, and stood staring out into the
sun-blasted street. That street was
curiously empty — unwholesomely
empty, so that nobody who had seen
the crowd there could look at that
street now without knowing that
something was irregular, something
WTOong.

Horse Dunn chuckled in his short
beard and hitched his belt up. Slow-

Dunn was what the dry country had
made him; and there was no longer
anything in the old man's life ex-
cept the cow kingdom he had
dreamed, and tried to build, for her.
A slight noise was heard and Old
Man Coffee came in gloomily and
threw his coiled dog whip on the
floor.
“1 haven't actually hit a dog with
that thing for over nine days,” he
offered. ‘But I swear I come close
to hitting one tonight. That old fool
makes me so cussed"
“Coffee,”’ Dunn interrupted, ‘you
haven't been here long; but you've
trailed and back-trailed, and pro-
moted all over this place with those
long-eared hounds. Now tell me one
thing: do you see any show of find-
ing out who killed Lon Magoon?"
Old Man Coffee dropped into a
chair and considered for several
long moments. ‘‘No,” he said at
last.
“Why?” Dunn demanded.
“Somebody, some place, may
have killed Lon Magoon, for all I
know. But he sure wasn’t killed at
Short Crick.”
For once in his life old Horse
Dunn's jaw dropped. “Look here!
You wouldn't go to fooling with
me?"
“I don't always know what I'm
talking about. This time I know.”
“But the saddle—"'
“I don’t question it was Magoon’s
saddle; I only say it was a different
man was killed in it.”
Again Horse stared at Coffee;
then he relaxed a little, and sat
down on the bunk. “Coffee,” he
said, “if you're so dead sure, in
God’s name tell us what you know!”
Coffee squinted his deep-set eyes
at Dunn. “I sore-footed a good dog,
and like to killed a mule, getting
over here to help you with this case.
I don’t ask for that to be appre-
ciated. But I'm getting a little tired
of answering all the questions

“I'm tired of being lied to, for

“Who's lied to you?”
“More than one, right here on this
place. Dunn, there's too many
things not open to the eye around
here to suit me!”
“Coffee,” said Horse Dunn with-
out belligerence, “what in all hell
do you mean by that?"
“I'll just give you one sample.”
Old Man Coffee picked up his dog
whip from the floor and sorted out
its coils with bony old fingers.
“There's been a horse in this case
that's been known as the killer's
horse, because he left his trail at
Short Crick, mixed up in the sign
of the killing. You know I took old
Rock and we trailed that horse;
though it come to nothing, then.
Now, since we've been back here
this afternoon, I've seen a funny
thing. Rock's been working around
the horse corrals, by himself; try-

CHAPTER VIII
The mountains were throwing
their early lucid twilight across the
range of the 94 by the time the cow-
boys cleared their supper plates.
They had eaten in silence. But
somehow in the interval since the
conference in Billy Wheeler's room,
everybody there had learned that a

So now loafed in
mess shack, and nobody spoke
of seven-up. They rolled cigarettes
and lighted pipes, and a couple of
lamps were lit, throwing tall, huge
shadows of the men on the walls
behind. They all knew that the 94
was up against a thrash-out, with-
in itself.
Horse Dunn broke the silence im-
patiently. ““There sure ought to be
enough scrapping on this range
without hunting up trouble among
ourselves. In ordinary times this
whole killing case wouldn't amount
to a tinker's dam to begin with.”
“I'm not so sure,” said Old Man
Coffee.
“What kind of a case have they
got?" Horse demanded. “They can’t
even find their everlasting stiff!”
“They're pretty liable to find it,”
Old Man Coffee thought. “When
they find it, it'll be about all they
need. If it's Magoon, like you claim,
they can show motive—you said
openly that you'd kill Magoon if
you caught him on 94 range. They've
got opportunity-—by your own state-
ment you were riding alone on Red
Sleep Ridge that day, and the Red
Sleep is within striking distance of
Short Crick. They can prove you

they can stretch to make look like a
concealment of the crime. And all
this says nothing about the killing of
Cayuse Cayetano.”
“What's known about the killing
of Cayuse?”’
“How do I know? We're so popu-
lar around here we can't even go

ting into a scrap with officers of

at Short Crick.”
Dunn slumped down in his chair
and went to growling into his war-
like beard. ‘I don't believe you
know any more about it than the
rest of us do.”
“I'll put it stronger than that.
Maybe—" Old Man Coffee made
each word separately heard—
“someone in this room knows a
whole lot more than I know!"
Horse Dunn sat pertectly still, ex-
cept for his eyes; his head did not
raise and no muscle of his face
changed, but his eyes whipped to

felt that it was one of those things
that a man has to try. He kept
trying to think of an angle of ap-

packing up was easily done, was
ready to move out before Wheeler
had thought of a way.
Old Man Coffee extended his hand.
“Well, so long, son.” ’
“I'm almighty sorry,” Wheeler
said, ‘to see you leave this case.
You're needed here, if ever a man
was.”
“Tough,” said Old Man Coffee. He
swung aboard the black mule and
sat looking down at Billy Wheeler

(TO BE CONTINUED)
Wood has found a wide variety
of uses as a raw material in the
past, but it seems forever doomed
to be replaced by something else,
writes Dr. Thomas M. Beck in the
Chicago Tribune. It was the first
fuel that men burned, but now it
has been largely replaced by coal
and petroleum. The first houses
were made of wood, but now brick,
glass, concrete, and steel are grad-
ually taking its place. The wooden
ships of a century ago have given
way to the iron ships of today.
So it has been in the chemical
industry, but with one important
difference. Wood has been the
source of a number of important
raw materials which have later
been produced more economically
from other sources. However, the
chemical importance of wood itself
has not declined, for new uses have
continually been discovered to take
the place of the old ones.
For example, the first chemical
reagent to be made from wood prob-
ably was charcoal, which is the
fairly good grade of carbon left
when the other elements of wood
which means that it can readily
combine, when hot enough, with the
oxygen of metallic ores to form gas-
eous carbon oxides, thereby leaving
the metal in a free state. At one
time practically all the iron pro-
duced was done so with the help of
charcoal. Now coke has taken its
place almost completely.
Almost simultaneous with the de-
cline of the metallurgical applica-
tion of charcoal has been the devel-
opment of another important use,
although one more limited in vol-
ume. Carbon has an unusual ability
to absorb organic matter on its sur-
face. The porous nature of wood
charcoal gives it a great amount of
exposed surface, so that it possesses
this absorptive power to an unusual
extent.
