"Now your father has pulled his freight, I expect it will be safe to call," he added. The bridle rein tightened. "What nonsense are you saying about my father?"

Excerpt: ...made up my mind yet. Perhaps I'll have it washed and bring it home to you." She decided that he was trying to flirt with her, and turned the head of her horse to start.

"No news, Miss Cullison; just what everybody is saying, that he has gone to cover on account of the hold-up." A chill fear drenched her heart. "Do you mean the hold-up of the Limited at Tin Cup?" "No, I don't." He looked at her sharply. "Mean to say you haven't heard of the hold-up of the W.& S. Express Company at Saguache?" "No. When was it?" 176 "Tuesday night. The man got away with twenty thousand dollars." "And what has my father to do with that?" she demanded haughtily. A satisfied spleen purred in his voice. "My dear young lady, that is what everyone is asking." "What do you mean? Say it." There was fear as well as anger in her voice. Had her father somehow got into trouble trying to save Sam? "Oh, I'm saying nothing. But what Sheriff Bolt means is that when he gets his handcuffs on Luck Cullison, he'll have the man that can tell him where that twenty thousand is." "It's a lie." He waved his hand airily, as one who declined responsibility in the matter, but his dark, saturnine face sparkled with malice. "Maybe so.

Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Very Good jacket. First edition, in probable later edition jacket. About fine in attractive, mildly foxed very good dustwrapper with a couple of modest tears, and which is a little shorter than the book, as seems often the case with Dillingham titles. Determining editions of Dillingham titles is difficult, as they tended to reissue books without further indications. This copy bears ads that indicate it is a first edition (although we are unaware of any bibliographical reference that would confirm that), but the jacket seems to indicate this is a "popular edition, " or what seems likely to be a first edition in a jacket with the price marked down. At any rate, very scarce in any sort of jacket. Basis for the 1915 film *Forked Trails* directed by and starring Tom Mix.
