The Red Mackinaw
By PAUL EVERMAN
Without a word Sneddon carried her to the hunk in the corner. Then he stepped softly away and lowered the wick of the greasy oil-lamp till the room melted into vague shadows. A steady succession of exhausted breaths soon told him that his. visitor was asleep.
Wonderment obsessed him. Who could she be ? And why had she come at so late an hour, in such dangerous weather? His neighbors he had not sought to know. He had seen a hunting camp far up in the canon, knew vaguely of a silver mine fifteen miles or so away, of a goat ranch farther up the range. Could she have come from one of these places? Perhaps. He resolved to question her the next morning-----
Sneddon sat up with a jerk and rubbed his burning eyes. The stove was gray with cold. Incipient light struggled at the window. He sprang up. Had he been dreaming? The girl! — where was she? There had been a girl—a girl in a red mackinaw. But now— No, the bunk was empty. He was alone.
Hurriedly he stepped outride. He searched the canon as far as his eyes could see; turned and looked hopefully through the canon’s mouth and out upon the broad stretch of mesa. But no; she was gone.
II.
An hour later Sneddon took down his rifle and started up the canon—a broad, compact figure, unshaven and crudely-clothed. The girl was near— something told him; and he would find her.
At last he stood before the hunting camp, a low cheerless structure of logs, only slightly larger than his own. He pried open the door and searched the place thoroughly, but found no signs of habitation.
Noon, and he was back to his cabin, chilled and disappointed from his arduous trip and its puny results. His astonished eyes swept the room and found his stock of provisions piled haphazardly on the floor. He made a hasty inventory. Some bacon, beans and dried corn were missing.
, In an ugly temper he seized his rifle and made for the door.
A swift thought calmed him. He pulled his chair to the stove and sa’ down, warming his stiff hands gratefully. The girl!—it was she who had taken his provisions. And, if so, she was near. He would yet find her.
She was near—but where ? An afternoon tramp out the canon and upon the gray mesa brought no sign of her. Baffled, Sneddon trudged homeward, head low.
_As he turned to pass the corner of his cabin, he found three men awaiting him. For a moment they scrutinized him deliberately, silently, with their hard keen eyes. They were rough, hardy men all, with scraggy drooping mustaches and square unshaven faces.
At last one of them spoke, and it was then that Sneddon recognized him as Sheriff Kartell of Conchas, who once had ridden out this way in search of a party of rustlers.
“Hello, Sneddon,” he said quietly. Sneddon started slightly at hearing his name.
Presently Hartell demanded: “Seen anything around here of a fellow wearing a red mackinaw?”
Sneddon shook his head, answering: “Haven’t seen anybody around here lately except a party of deer hunters that went up the canon about six weeks ago.”
“Hm,” said the sheriff thoughtfully. “Well, we’re looking for a fellow wearing a red mackinaw—or at least he was wearing one. He stuck up the southbound Santa Fe Limited between Conchas and Leensburg Tuesday night.
I.
Sneddon’s reveries were interrupted by a sudden thump and bang at the door. Through flash-lit darkness, the groaning wind belched a slight stumbling figure into the room.
,Alone, as usual, he had sat throughout the evening and listened 'to the rage of the storm. Also, he had pondered his secret; a secret of a crime, a sentence, prison; a secret that had brought him out here to trap in the solitude of the West, where, at the mouth of a cedar-studded canon, he had tucked his tiny cabin, with a bright mountain streamlet cavorting at his feet and the gloomy opening of an adondoned drift mine, the Black Bat, frowning on the mountainside back and above him.
Now he sprang up, startled. t
“My God!” he muttered in amazement, as he saw that the newcomer was a woman.
As she lurched nearer, he sprang to support her. Forcing the door shut with his body, he deposited his limp burden on the crude chair, unbuttoned the huge red mackinaw that enveloped her, and unwrapped the long woolen scarf that muffled her head. It was then that he discovered that she was hardly a woman, scarcely more than a girl; frail, wan, almost frozen.
For a half hour or more he rubbed furiously to force life back into the blue, numb fingers. From a meager store of brandy he hurriedly poured a generous draught and placed it to her hanging lips.
Presently, warmed to action, she pushed his ministering hands gently aside. She looked up appealingly.
“I—I’m sleepy,” she murmured, a weary smile trembling on her face, now flushed from new-found warmth.
