〃You theenk to fix trap; you!〃



She whirled and faced Ramon; whose eyes blazed bate and murder and whose

tongue spoke the foulness of his soul。 He flung out his arm fiercely and

thrust her aside。 〃Me; I kill that dam〃



He did not say any more; and the six…shooter he had levelled at Luck dropped

from his nerveless hand like a coiled adder; Annie…Many…Ponies had struck。

Like an avenging spirit she pulled the knife free and held it high over her

head; facing Luck who stared up at her from below。 He thought the look in her

eyes was fear of him and of the law; and he lifted his hand and gave back the

peace…sign。 It was for him she had killed and she should not be punished if he

could save her。 But Luck failed to read her look aright; it was not fear he

saw; but farewell。



For with her free hand she made the sign of peace and farewelland then the

knife descended straight as a plummet to her heart。 But even as she fell she

spurned the dead Ramon with her feet; so that he rolled a little way while the

black dog growled at him with bared teeth; even in death she would not touch

him who had been so foul。



Luck ran the last few; steep steps; and took her in his arms。 His eyes were

blurred so that he could not see her face; and his voice shook so that he

could scarcely form the words that brushed back death from her soul and

brought a smile to her eyes。



〃Annielittle sister!〃



Annie…Many…Ponies raised one creeping hand; groping until her fingers touched

his face。



〃Wagalexa Conkacola!〃



He took her fingers and for an instant; while she yet could feel; he laid them

against his lips。
