- CHAPTER
- THE RIDER OF GOLDEN BAR
- CHAPTER ONE
- BILLY WINGO
- Said the first pencil-end to the second pencil-end, "Hello, Sally Jane."
- She waited a moment. Then, "I know what?"
- She looked at him coolly. "What is this--a proposal?"
- CHAPTER TWO
- A SAFE MAN
- Rafe attempted to excuse himself and his cowboy. "It was a long-ear."
- The smile stung the amiable Rafe. "He's gotta be stopped."
- CHAPTER THREE
- WHAT SALLY JANE THOUGHT
- CHAPTER FOUR
- HAZEL WALTON
- She wrinkled her pretty forehead at him. "What?"
- CHAPTER FIVE
- JACK MURRAY OBJECTS
- The latter endeavored to defend himself. "I was drunk."
- Felix Craft nodded. "Sure is. One on you all right, Jack."
- Felix Craft spread eloquent hands. "What can we do?"
- Felix tendered his mite. "There's a reward offered, too."
- Hazel nodded. "Here comes Riley now."
- Billy cocked a listening ear. "Wasn't that a shot?"
- Billy made instant decision. "'Nds up!"
- CHAPTER SIX
- CROSS-PURPOSES
- Tom Walton took no notice of Jonesy. "Where'd you work last?"
- Tip smiled. "Won't he?"
- CHAPTER SEVEN
- RAFE'S IDEA
- Jonesy looked his astonishment. "Her?"
- Rafe Tuckleton pulled up with a jerk and a slide. "What do you want?"
- Billy was at the table instantly. "Look here, Hazel----"
- Her amused eyes sought his. "Am I such a poor match as that?"
- He regarded her in some surprise. "The voters."
- He shook his head. "I can't forget."
- She shook her head. "No one."
- He shook his head. "I can't."
- CHAPTER EIGHT
- THE NEW BROOM
- Billy Wingo regarded him slantwise. That "but." "Yes?"
- Tip nodded. "Something like that."
- Billy made his position plain. "Say ten thousand in round numbers."
- Mr. O'Gorman shook his bullet head. "No, I got other fish to fry."
- CHAPTER NINE
- THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
- CHAPTER TEN
- A SHORT HORSE
- CHAPTER ELEVEN
- THE TRAPPERS
- Riley squinted at the approaching man. "I wonder what he wants."
- DEAR BILLY:
- The judge nodded. "I suppose so."
- The judge lifted his eyebrows. "We?"
- CHAPTER TWELVE
- THE TRAP
- Slike kicked the judge in the short ribs. "How many? Tell the truth!"
- CHAPTER THIRTEEN
- OPEN AND SHUT
- Tip O'Gorman nodded. "'Say not so,' is right."
- Rafe Tuckleton nodded a reluctant head. "I'll pay."
- Rafe's face went wooden. "How should I know?"
- CHAPTER FOURTEEN
- WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT
- Rafe looked at the district attorney. "The man's mad."
- Rafe came flatly to the point. "How about gettin' rid of him, too?"
- The district attorney remained unconvinced. "I hear you say it."
- But the district attorney remained dubious. "It's too big an order."
- CHAPTER FIFTEEN
- THE BEST-LAID PLANS
- Billy leaned forward interestedly. "They _could_, but would they?"
- Tip nodded his head. "Looks like it."
- Craft nodded. "We have to take some chances."
- CHAPTER SIXTEEN
- OBSCURING THE ISSUE
- Tip shook his head. "You haven't any choice--none."
- Tip grinned. "I hear him comin' now."
- CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
- WHAT HAZEL THOUGHT
- She waited. What was he goggling and boggling at? "Well?"
- Nate nodded. "So does everybody else."
- Felix Craft shook his head. "No arrest, Arthur. That don't go."
- CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
- THE BARE-HEADED MAN
- It was fright and not the lie that made her stammer. "Nun-no."
- CHAPTER NINETEEN
- THE PERSISTENT SUITOR
- She continued to stare at Rafe. "I know he did."
- He nodded. "You, nobody else."
- CHAPTER TWENTY
- A DISCOVERY
- Sam grinned at Felix. "Ain't he got a pleasant nature."
- CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
- THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S NIGHTMARE
- The darkness veiled Guerilla's blush. "I see her now and then."
- CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
- THE HUNCH
- Billy uttered a light laugh. "I figured it would be that way."
- Billy surveyed his neighbor in surprise. "You. What for?"
- CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
- THE GUNFIGHTERS
- CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
- CONTRARIETIES
- Guerilla looked bewildered. "What did Conley have against Tip?"
- Simon's leathery face assumed a richly jaundiced hue. "I--I dunno!"
- Riley nodded. "I heard. His nerve has gone completely bust."
- This sounded promising. "Tell what?"
