MA&i&a? &*/&

As old Tuck Strong and his son. Burl, lefi
the ranch yard of the Lazy S and headed
toward the hills, their faces were grim with
purpose.

"If we run into Slash Doran, it'll be at that
box canyon I was telling you about," said
Burt. "He's got two hundred of our best steers
hidden there waiting for a chance to sneak
them across the border on the next dark
night."

"Yau sure it's Slash now?" queried the old
man.

"Certain," grunted Burt. "These hoofprinfs
of his splay-footed mare were all over that
canyon floor when I checked."

"Sure hope you're right, son," sard Tuck.

"Even if we don't run into Slash today we
might get a crack at that big maverick bull
I've been after for the past three years. He's
with that herd Slash boxed up in the canyon."

"Still letting that old mosshorn get your
goat, Burt?" The old man grinned.

"Get my goat!" exploded the younger man.
"Why that crazy critter's been raising coin
on our range since I was a kid. Pa, sometimes
you talk as if that old mosshorn was a per-
sonal friend of yours."

"In a way he is, Burt. That maverick was on

this land when I was fighting the Comanches
for this spread fifteen years ago. There wasn't
a rider in the country who could put a rope
on him. Why that crazy critter sired the first
calves that I sold off this spread. Be a sport,
Burt, and leave him alone."

But Burfs mind was made up.

Out in the box canyon, Cimarron, the huge
brindle bull, flicked the flies off his back and
looked possessively at the herd of white faces
over which he ruled. It was three weeks since
Cimarron hod stalked out of the cedar brakes
to drive off the short horn bull that had ruled
the two hundred cows which watered here.

But it was another enemy that the old moss-
horn wos thinking of now. It was days since
Cimarron had caught the man-scent drifting
down from the ridges. Since then his sixth
sense warned him that the two-legged crea-
tures were somewhere close by.

At noon, Cimarron spotted the riders an-
gling down from the ridge. The huge bull
bellowed a warning and the herd looked up
from their drinking. But the riders were al-
ready among the cattle, circling behind the
herd, driving them away from the acres of
water that lay pooled at the bottom of the
canyon.

There were two men, one short and swarthy,
the other long and lean with a scarred face.
Both wore guns and as they worked the herd
they kept looking up at the rimrock as if they
Were afraid of being seen.

"Get this bunch moving," said the lean
rider. "I'll pick up the ones on the other side
of the canyon. And move fast, Soapy. We
want to be on the trail by nightfall."

Soapy grinned. "Okay, Slash. We'll be over
the border before the Strongs know what
happened. It'll be even easier than last time."

Soapy was still grinning as he yanked his
horse around. It was only then that he noticed
the huge brindle bull pawing the earth and
about to charge.

In the saddle, Soapy went white with terror.
"Slosh," he screamed, "Slash do something!"

For a moment. Slosh stared at the charging
bull and then his six-gun was out, roaring.
Four of the bullets missed. The two that struck
glanced off harmlessly from the bony ridge
at the top of the maverick's skull. And Cimar-
ron, with a grim singleness of purpose, come
in low. Soapy was sent rolling from the
laddie. Dodging the sweep of those slashing

horns, he plunged headlong into the pond.

Then Cimarron turned on Slash Ooran. It
was all Slash could do to get his horse aside
in time. But Cimarron's horns caught in the
saddle girth and it parted as if made of paper.
As Slash rolled to the ground, the huge bull
pounced upon him like q cat. Howling with
feor, the rustler raced for the safety of the
water and leaped in. From the edge of the
water the brindle maverick poced the shore
and bellowed his triumph, daring the two
men to come outl

From the ridge above, two men looked
down on the scene in the canyon. The younger
man shook his head in puzzled disbelief. The
wise old eyes of the older one twinkled as he
watched.

"Never sow the like in all my born days,"
said Burt Strong. "Why Cimarron handled
those rustlers as if they were a couple of
coyotes, And caught them with the goods and
saved us the trouble of rounding 'em up."

As they spurred their horses toward the
canyon floor, Tuck Strong looked at his son.
"Still feel like finishing off that old maverick,
boy?" he asked slyly.

"No, Pa," Burt smiled. "Reckon that moss-
horn has earned his keep!"

of the

Rappahannock

Indians

The Rappahannock Indians of Vir-
use a very interesting type of lamp
which is called a gourd lamp. A large
gourd is selected and the neck is cut off.
The inside of the gourd is then lined
with clay and pieces of fat wood, also
known as pine lighters, are placed in
the hollow of the gourd and lit. The
gourd lamp throws a tremendous amount
of light and men of the tribe use it
while camping out and also while night
fishing.
