Smoke from This Altar
“DON’T GO!”
Matt Bardoul headed for the stable to saddle his horse.
He had thrown the hull on him and was adjusting the cinch when a voice spoke out of the darkness of a stall.
“Matt”—he could not place the voice—“I’d git killed for this, if anybody knowed, but don’t go along with that wagon train!”
“Why? What’s going to happen?”
“Dunno. But somethin’ … ain’t none of ‘em supposed to come back alive.”
“Who’s the boss?” he demanded.
There was no reply. He waited a moment, then asked the question again, but there was no answer. His unknown informant was gone.
