The Toll Gate 1 The Raiders. Sought vainly by man's law

for three years.

2 Why trackers failed - the water trail.

3 Why the band has known no failure ---- Black Deering, the leader.

4

 Jordan, a

lieutenant who works on the

"outside."

5 "We've been workin' together a long time, an' we've been chased by sheriffs' posses, vigilantes an' even United States

   soldiers."

6 "Boys, there's three counties that quit work to rub us out."

7 "We're worth about five thousand a head an' they ain't particular how we're brought in."

8 "I don't figure to lead you into nuthin' I can't lead you out of. I say


we've made

  our last haul."

9 "An' I say different."

10 "Well, say

it all."

11 "I've planted a job for Monday, on a mail train that carries forty thousand in gold."

12 "If we don't quit now, we're all apt to be standin' on nothin' an' lookin' up a

    rope."

13 "Are we the gang they call 'The Raiders' or a bunch of Injun horse thieves ---- afraid to

  take a chance?"

14 "You boys know how things stand.

 Vote on it."

15 "Who all's for one more raid?"

16 "Agin it?"

17 "Of course, if you're reformed an' afraid --"

18 "Start makin'

plans for
 Monday."

19 The Raiders' last hold-up.

20 "Sergeant, isn't that the same man that -"

21 "Apaches puttin' on paint at North Fork an' aimin' to wipe

 you out!"

22 "Yes, he's the same man that rode eighty miles to give us a

warning."

23 "Well, you've got 'em all,

I guess."

24 "In my baby days they told me about a man named Judas. I reckon you're him!"

25 "Any more of that an' I'll turn him loose

  on you!"

26 "Deering, you saved my post once, and I'm sorry it had to be me and my men that

  took you."

27 "I'm glad they didn't kill you. You'll make a pretty picture 'standin' on nothin' an' lookin'

 up a rope.'"

28 "Jim, do you mind the women an' the kids at the Post an' what might've happened the night the Apaches hit?"

29 "Shoot six bits!"

30 "Open one of them doors. This car's like an

   oven."

31 "Come on, two treys, or be a four deuce."

32 "Goin' up

grade."

33 "We are goin' awful slow. I'm watchin' you dice. Be good to me."

34 "Four deuce! There's my point an' I reckon he's made his'n too. Shoot the whole dollar and four bits."

35 Rincon, where a man can do a killin' an' get either a decent hangin' or a vote of thanks.

36 A business bought with the blood of

 his own band.

37 Half-starved and hunted, but working steadily

toward the Border.

38 "Horse, you're 'borrowed' an' it's best we ain't seen together till night."

39 "I reckon we've got to take a chance on this town tonight."

40 Night and the "chance."

41 His last two-bits.

42 "Any ranch owners around

  here?"

43 "Need any hands? I'm afoot but I know cow work."

44 "Where did you

 work last?"

45 "H Bar H over in Thunder Basin."

46 "Ever meet up with Hank Simmons over

   that way?"

47 "Pardner, I'm Hank Simmons, an' if I ever met you before I was

 sleep walkin'."

48 "My geogr'phy may be bad, but I ain't aimin' to be laughed

   at none!"

49 "Was he lookin' for anybody


special?"

50 "Lookin' for work an' near picked himself a gun

   fight."

51 Realization that the road of the outlaw closes

 all others.

52 Black Deering,

  killer.

53 "Jordan, you're goin' to pay

  now!"

54 "Get men, get a bunch of them! We're goin' after

 that coyote."

55 "Who did it?"

56 "I know an' I'll get him!"

57 "Jordan, I'm figurin' the more killin's you have among yourselves, the less trouble we'll

  have later on."

58 "Cantina's

burnin'"

59 "That'll help

  us all."

60 "Unbuckle that gun belt an' let it fall."

61 "Walk ahead of me an' walk easy."

62 "Walk past that hole an' drop your guns in it ---- belts

 an' all."

63 "Pass me them bar lamps an' that dish of

  money."

64 "There's kerosene

  down there!"

65 "Follow him!"

66 "Follow him, hell! I'm lookin' to make sure he's gone."

67 "Get outa here! She'll blow up in a minute!"

68 "Black Deering held up the Ace an' set it afire!"

69 A horse-killing chase, two days old and leading always to the

  Border.

70 "Horse, we gotta move again. That sheriff's sure an Indian for

    trailin'."

71 "That'll be Jordan an' his Mex outfit."

72 A broken leg and the humane course.

73 "We know he ain't far ahead an' if your outfit's all in, we'll go ahead an' get him for you."

74 "We'll do all the huntin' that's done on this side of the Border."

75 "It was our friends he

killed."

76 "Jordan, keep your dirty bunch out of this, or I'll let the boys do this country a real favor."

77 Mary Brown, living alone with her baby, since the disappearance

 of her husband.

78 "Is this

daddy?"

79 A woman who has known no good man.

80 And a man who has known no good woman.

81 "Horse got in quicksand an' I lost him, outfit an' all."

82 "I haven't a horse, but there's some clothes of my husband's in the bedroom. You could put them on and dry yours."

83 "He disappeared more than a year ago and

never came back."

84 "He must have been killed."

85 "He must have been."

86 "I'm an outlaw an' them men comin' are after me. I figure to use your husband's clothes

an' his name."

87 "When you talk to them, I'm your husband. Get that straight an' tell

 it straight!"

88 "I'll help you."

89 "Little son, are all the men in the world outlaws and murderers?"

90 "You live here?"

91 "Does me an' my wife look dressed

 for a visit?"

92 "See anythin' of a man about your size an' build travelin' this way ------- in a hurry?"

93 "Feller swum the river up above 'bout half hour ago."

94 "What kind of a horse?"

95 "Swum it

afoot."

96 "Remember, I'm watchin' every move you make."

97 "You can trust me."

98 "I ain't trustin'


nobody."

99 "If you go huntin', can

  I go?"

100 "There's some trails from the ford, but they're older than a half hour."

101 "Take some of the boys an' follow them. I ain't just sure that everythin's

 straight right here."

102 "I need some wood an' it would probably look better if you ---------"

103 "My horses an' men is all in. We'll camp here till sun-up if you ain't objectin'."

104 "We left kinda hurried an' ain't packin' blankets. Do you mind the boys beddin' in the cabin?"

105 "You must call him daddy and you must tell those men he is

your daddy."

106 "I reckon I was wrong when I said ------- I wasn't trustin' nobody."

107 "You risked being captured to save my boy --------

  and I trust you."

108 "You may have to."

109 "Daddy, can

you make 
 a bow?"

110 The test of a man's truthfulness and of his soul.

111 When a man's heart goes black with the poison of revenge.

112 "I'm still trusting you."

113 "Roll out, boys, I ain't Jim Brown I'm a liar ----- I'm Black Deering."

114 "They may call you Black Deering, but, by God, you're white."

115 "Jordan's gang's got the boys cornered. If you don't get there before them Mexes can see to shoot, they ain't

got a chance."

116 "You two boys stay here, take care of Slim an' guard Deering."

117 "Sheriff, I'm goin' to the rope. Give me a chance to die like a white

    man."

118 "I've never been any good an' I don't know anythin' only how to handle a pair of guns but, Sheriff I can sure

    do that."

119 "I'm askin' for a chance to die - fightin'!"

120 "I'm hopin' you'll try to think that I ain't

all bad."

121 Waiting for the rush that means

  the end.

122 "Ride around the hill. I'm takin'

a short cut."

123

"Deering's 

gettin' away!"

124 "He'll come back."

125 "I'm goin' to kill you, Jordan, for two

    reasons."

126 "One of 'em you know, an' the other you never will know."

127 The North Trail.

128 "We're all goin' the same way. Kin I carry the little feller?"

129 "Deering, we ain't all goin' the same way. We're below the Mexican Border line an' I can't

 take you."

130 "As long as you stay south of that line, you're safe, but don't

   cross it."

131 "I've been two gunnin' my way aroun' too long. Mebbe you could

 use one of 'em."

132 "This horse an' outfit belonged to a pal who stayed back yonder. I know he'd want you

   to have it."

133 "The little fellow wants to go with you, and -------"

134 "-- and -- and --- so do I."

135 "The Sheriff's goin' to see that you get back to your own people, that's

    best."

136 "Best for you an' best for the little feller."

137 "Provin' you can't tell how white a man is by the color of his coat."

138 Through the Toll Gate that bars the Portal of Tomorrow and inexorably claims tribute for the Sins of Yesterday.

139 "By their fruits ye shall know them -"
