“Well, I am curious, Faro.”

“All right.”

Faro drained his cup and threw it back on the table.

“You might like to know that Big Medicine and his gang are comin’ here. I heard ’em say they were. They tried to get Lon Pelly to come with ’em, but Lon was too drunk. I had a hunch that some of my friends might like to know it.”

Esta buena!” grunted Guadalupe. “We will welcome ’em, eh?”

“Damn right!” chuckled Kohler. “Whatcha say, Gonzales?”

“We will show them the good time, compadre.”

“I saw the guards,” offered Faro. “I warned ’em.”

Faro saw Hashknife, and a grin wreathed his lips.

“He won’t be much help to Hawkworth,” laughed Baldy.
