“Well, I’ve told yuh what to do. And Marsh says we ain’t to come together; sabe?”
“I guess so. You tell him I’ll be there.”
Rawls nodded, turned his horse and rode away, while Blaze went down to the stable. Jules found him saddling his horse, but did not ask where he was going.
“Which one of Marsh’s gang was that, Jules?” asked Blaze.
“Rawls. Pretty damn’ bad hombre, Blaze.”
“Marsh seems to specialise in that kind. I’ll probably be late in gettin’ back, Jules.”
“Sure.”
In the meantime Jane and Harry Kelton came to Medicine Tree, and Cultus met Jane in a store. She nodded and smiled at him, and he stopped to talk with her.
“Did you find your horse?” she asked.
“Well, I ain’t exactly found him yet, but I’ve still got hopes. How’s yore father?”
