came Of the blood about the curb. She
and May had no conversation regard
ing it. She gave the distance of the
blood as she remembered it as a foot

about in the center Of Mays range for
E0rses. She did not know whether
May had come there frequently for the
purpose of a~scertaining about his

husband and May was friendly. The

ranch was foreign. This was OBJ
