Suddenly his big body stiffened. He
heard M0lly's voice from the cistern,
frightened, then storming in anger.
Mormon ran at a sprinters gait from
the cottonwoods, along a side of the
corral. through the trees bordering
the cistern. The girl was out Of the

Hereford, where faro. chuckaluck and
craps were played in the back room,
owner also Of nearby horse ranch.
There was blood on his face, the
marks Of finger nails.
Pllmso1l jumped for the girl, caught
her by one arm roughly. She strug-
gled f1ercely, silently. striking at him
with her free fist. Mormon's gun
flashed from Its sheath as he shouted
at the man. Plimsoll wheeled. sreleas-

with rage, pistol cleaned as he
plucked 1t from beneath the waist

spatted between his feet as Mormon

obeyed. what in hi do you fgger

The leer suddenly vanished from his

Mormon's gaze, finger compressing the
trigger.
