caught in the arms of the sheriff

had heard the accusation, a girl who
stood poised in revulsion moment
before she turned, and, almost run

and ride away. And the strength of
anger left the muscles of Barry
Houston. The red flame of indigna-
ton turned to sodden, dead thing.

Robinette had heard him accused
without single statement given in
