Shad told his friend of the feeling
against Bumpy.
Nobody will harm him." said Blake
'This is not the wild West of the old
days. Wen 60 up to the Dam. I'll
have a word with Hod Sherman and
his eliminates. Then we'll drive to
Ashfeld."
Shad promised Bumpy that he would
return in a day or two, when the boy
and the colonel set out for Amity Dam.
