“Thassall right,” said Blondy drunkenly.

“Don’t paw me ’round, Spot. I was looking fer you. Mebbe you’d like to know that them two Tombstone punchers are here.”

“Who?”

“You know; them two that kinda jiggered our play.”

“Oh!” Easton grunted softly. “What are they doin’ here?”

“I never seen ’em,” admitted Blondy, “but their broncs are tied to the rack at the Ten-Spot, y’betcha.”

“Are you sure, Hagen?”

“Betcha I am. I know that tall roan and the blue-gray.”

Spot Easton thought rapidly. If Hashknife and Sleepy were in Gunsight, they had a reason for coming—and he might be the reason. He suddenly realized that they had opened and read that letter, and he swore softly for not having thought of that before.

“Are they in the Ten-Spot?” he asked.
