Six months later he wandered back and comes upon Perry watering a rose plant. Perry admits that he would like one more good time, and he consents to join Buck, saying that he must be home by seven. In the saloon Perry orders sarsaparilla and suggests a game of checkers. Buck, now feeling disgraced, threatens the bar keeper with instant death if he allows it to leak out that he was ever found "fraternal" with sarsaparilla and checkers. They are in the midst of an exciting game of checkers in the back room when the Trimble gang arrive at the saloon and proceed to fill the place with lead. When it is nearly seven o'clock Perry fights his way through with the table leg. Mrs. Perry is waiting at the gate, but Buck declines their invitation to come in. Plodding down the lonesome road he recalls the look the little woman gave Perry when she saw him safe, and concludes that the fool in the game isn't Perry Roundtree after all.
