W HEN Aaron Howard and Jill I
Damon were married they went |
to live on the ranch on Grand Wash
that Aaron had inherited from his
father. Both loved the place, for the
West was their native land. They
were supremely happy. Two years
after their marriage a son, Phil,
was bom, and 18 months later a
second son came. They named him
Roger.
The children, as Is so often the
case, did not detract from the af
fection between Aaron and Jill.
Theirs was a love that went deeper.
If anything, they came to depend
more on each other for comfort and
understanding. Aaron’s only re
quest of life, and Jill’s, too, was that
they could die together, that one
would not be left behind to carry
When Phil was 24 he feD in love
with a neighboring rancher’s
daughter named Janice Akron.

But this was not to be. Phil was

Aaron kept on, finding an outlet
as much as possible for his natural
ly affectionate nature in his sons.
He dedicated the remainder of his
life to their upbringing. y*t never
feeling quite free of the emptiness,
the ache that dwelt in his heart for
jab
then the announcement was a ter
rific shock. .
'Phil's dead,” Roger said hol-
owly. “He was shot by Jed Potter.
Potter was drunk and Phil came
into the Red Dog and Jed made
some slurring remark about Janice
and Phil slapped his face. Jed had
a gun and Phil was unarmed, but
Jed shot him just the same."
As Roger talked he was buckling
on the belt and six-shooter that he
usually wore when on the range.
Aaron came toward him quickly.
He felt numb all over. He knew
what Roger had in mind.
Aaron knew then how he had
failed Jill. One of her boys dead;
the other about to commit a crime
that would bring him to the same
end. The old man's heart felt like
lead, yet through his misery he saw
the determination in Roger’s face
and knew that nothing would deter
the boy • until his brother’s killing
had been avenged.
“AH right, boy,” he said quietly.
*1 understand. We’ll go together.”
And Aaron went and got his own
gun and followed his son down to
the corral
They were up and off at dawn.
Toward late afternoon they crossed
a trail and followed it They en
tered a ravine and presently Aaron
pointed to a spiral of smoke above
the trees. Roger’s mouth set grim
ly. He swung to the ground. Aaron
did likewise. They crept^up a rise
and parted some bushes and saw
Jed Potter hovering over a fire.
Side by side tfcey crept down the
slope and suddenly stepped
through some shrubbery and con
fronted Jed Potter 15 feet away.
Roger was in the lead, Aaron be

fear leaped into his eyes. He start

was no alternative. Jed went for

Old Aaron entered the sheriffs
When Phil was 24 he fell In love
with a neighboring rancherT
daughter named Janice Akron. Un
happily Janice had already won
the affections of her father’s fore
man, Jed Potter. Jed was older
than Phil, a headstrong, ill-tem
pered youth, resentful of young Phil
Howard’s greater resources and
better prospects.
~ Aaron, now past middle-age,
watching development# in the wis
dom of his years, saw storm clouds
appearing on his son’s horizon. Yet
he withheld the advice which per
haps should have been given. He
thought of his own courtship of Jill
He, like Phil, would never have let
a rival discourage him in his •
deavor to win her affections.
Neither Aaron nor any one fore
saw the tragedy which took place.
