THE STORY: John Sand, M. D,
arrives in Welf Point, Mont., to
pang out his shingle, But just
. ter he steps from the train at 3
.. m, there’s a shooting in the
<2'yon, One man is killed and an
other wounded. l
* & %

The cowpuncher cut Dr. John
«3nd a hard lock as he set down
{1» heavy suitcase. Unminding,
tlhe doctor carried the small black
bag over to the bar, and set it
down, Water was dripping trom!
his hatbrim, and his brown eyes:
were taking in all that there was
t, see. Then his eyes met the‘
eowpuncher’s hard gray bloodshot
oves, and he motioned with his
head at the man’s left arm. One
gray flannel shirt sleeve was soak
ing up the blood that came from
a wounded upper arm.
“I'll take a look at that arm of
vours,” John Sand spoke in a quiet
voice. “I'm a doctor.” . |
A slow grin spread the cow
puncher’s tight lips and his eyes
squinted. The color had come
hack into his leathery face.
“Figgerin’ on hangin’ out your
shingle here at Wolf Point?” His
voice was surprisingly soft, almost
2 lazy drawl.
%[ hepe to make my living
here,” John Sand smiled and add
od: “Or starve to death.”
“T don’t know about how much
vou'll make for a living, Doc. But
you sure won't starve. There's
always plenty of beef.”
The saloon man turned away
from the bodv on the floor and
shoved through the crowd. “He’s
dead, all right,” he wheezed in a
whisky voice.
“1 coulda told you that. Trot in
behind the mahogany and dig up
a bottle that ain’t poison, and a
clean glass. Doc here needs some
thin’ to take the chill off before he
pets to work on me,” said the
cowpuncher, who added: “This is
Dutch John, Doe. He’s got a heart
bigger'n his belly, so long as it
don’t cost him a dime.” The big
cowman laughed.
The crowd backed away and
turned to line up along the bar. A
motley gathering. The man who
had done the killing was the only
one who looked like a real cow
boy. One gray bearded, bleary
eyes man had a collie dog and his
clothes smelled of sheep. Another
human derelict shuffled off and
came back with a bucket of water
and an old mop and set them down
to' take his place at the far end of
the bar near the sheepherder to
await his drink.
A dapper looking man with the
small build of a jockey sidled out
the back door and closed it softly
behind him. The cowpuncher saw
him and grinned crcokedly at the
half filled bottle in his hand.
“Toad,” he said, “carryin’ the
news. But he’ll get them fancy
duds of his all wet fer nothin’,
The law’s outa town.”
He waited for John Sand to fill
his shot glass from a bottle that
Dutch took off the bar before the
man next to him could reach for
it.
“Tricks like that got Toad ruled
off the racetracks. Here's wel
come to Wolf Point Doc.”
® * ®
When John Sand set down his
empty glass, the cowpuncher
handed him the bottle. He walked
over to where the heavy suitcase
lay and picked it up.
“Fetch the tool bag, Doc.”
He went out through the half
doors and John Sand followed
him. He led the way down the
plank sidewalk to a sad roofed log
cabin that was set back about 50
vards from the main street. The
cabin had been whitewashed but
it was weathered off. He went in
and lit a big Rochester metal
based lamp. '
“This is called the Whitehouse,
Doec. Swamp her out and get rid
ot this truck and it'll make you a
20od place to hang out your shin
gle. Till you get time to build
somethin’ better, it's all yourn. If
anybody asks how come, you tell
‘em one of the Johnson Boys gave
it to you.” The man grinned.
The eabin was littered with old
boots, chaps, saddles and discarded
clothing and empty and half
empty whisky bottles! The air
had a peculiar stench of old to
bacco smoke, leather and old
clother. A couple of tarp-covered
roundup beds rolled tight and tied
with bed ropes. Two were spread
out on bunks. There was a lit
tered card table and a few old
barroom chairs, and a round bel-

John Sand filled the tea kettle
on the stove and, while he waited
for the water to boil, Doc took a
roll of gauze and wiped the blood
away from the bullet rip. ;
He had the wound dressed and
bandaged when there sounded a
rapping on the door. The cow
puncher reached for the wooden
handled six-shooter at his side as
he got swiftly to his feet.
“Roll under that bunk, Doc.”
His voice lost its lazy drawl. It
became a sharp bitten command.
John Sand crawled under the
nearest bunk. He saw the big
man, stripped to the waist, turn
the lamp down on low wick. He
moved quietly to the door and slid
