| Summary | "Paid Off" by Walt Coburn is a fictional novelette written during the early 20th century. The story follows two cowpunchers, Shorty Carroway and Tad Ladd, as they navigate the treacherous landscape of Montana after a skirmish in a saloon leads them to unforeseen troubles with the local law and a sinister cattle baron named Luther Fox. The main characters, Shorty and Tad, exhibit a mix of humor, bravery, and resourcefulness as they find themselves embroiled in a larger conflict involving cattle rustling and personal vendettas. At the start of the tale, Shorty Carroway engages in a gritty fistfight with a larger man in a saloon, a confrontation that draws the attention of the sheriff and the local crowd. The arrival of the sheriff abruptly halts the tussle, but not before the both cowboys find themselves arrested. Shortly after, they meet Luther Fox, who offers them a choice between prison or working for him to collect a debt from Hank Basset, a rancher under pressure. As the plot unfolds, the two cowpuncters quickly realize that the stakes are higher than they initially thought, especially with the tensions rising against Luther Fox. This intriguing blend of action, humor, and moral decisions sets the stage for a compelling narrative filled with the challenges and camaraderie typical of Western adventures.
