Next I tore thet cabin down an built thedouble one,
an this one hyar, which Ash has to himself.
He told me you didnt see everyrider who came
along.
The point was theharm that might come through Ash.
The road cutthrough the centre and went down the outer side.
Hed concoct devilish schemesto make a cowboy seem
negligent or crooked.
Thegrasp of his hand was rough, hard, but lacked
warmth or response. An with all this outfit youre headin for Sunset
Pass.
Thiry didnt tell me either, went on the rancher.
They have worked into a considerable business. But Im sureafraid somethins terrible
wrong. Well, the fact is I havent named him yet, replied Rock.
I didnt wantto kill Seward, so I left
Wagontongue.
Today, when he was sober,he was cold, mean,
vicious.
Rock, if I had my way, Id like to be friends with
you. Im goin to be a plain cowpuncher and start in where I left off here sixyears
ago. When Rock rode around the barn heespied the wagon far ahead down the gentle
slope. Ash willnot try any of his tricks on you. Slagle couldnt make it go in Sunset
Pass after the Prestons come. An far asthe ranch hyar is concerned he does prevent.
It would be best, she returned, and, looked away. Then I got to shippin beef to
other towns not far along therailroad.
He, was coming back to thevalleys and hills that he
now discovered he had loved.
I was far from being offended that day in the store
and at the corral. They kept edgin my stock down out of the Pass an that way, then,
an inothers, I fell more in debt.
Hed concoct devilish schemesto make a cowboy seem
negligent or crooked. Ash willnot try any of his tricks on you. Dont bribe me to run
off from Sunset Pass, he said. An Ash Preston stands out even among
them.
Whereupon Rock had to explain that he had been
keening store for SolWinter when Thiry happened in. I didnt wantto kill Seward, so I
left Wagontongue. There the gauntlet went in the face of Ash Preston. She passed
here today with her dad an some of the boys.
Yes, son, an I can answer that question so plain in
your eyes. Rock remembered that Amy had always been a flirt.
Preston introduced them as theinseparable three,
Tom, Albert, and Harry.
