the stars toward Nipple peaks. He
was alone, refusing any company OF
Sam or the riders. Molly's last kiss
had been the key that turned in the
lock of his heart and opened up to
reality the garden of his dreams where
the two of them would walk together,
work together all their days. 1t could
have meant nothing else. And she
had been afraid-for him. Plimsoll
living was a blot upon the fair page
of happiness. Though Molly, thank
God, had come through unframed, to
Sandy the touch of Plimsoll was a
defilement that could only be wiped
out by his death.
AS he rode over the f1nny ridge of
Elk mountain and saw the Nipple
peaks cleaning above the black pines
across the valley, with Elk river
cleaning in the middle, he realized
that he had said nothing to Molly OF

mine and his own action in her name.

Brandon.
The body of Plimsoll lay at the
