The sheriff met his whimsical gaze, grinned, and then strode on
around the bend with the evidence in his hand. Ramsay turned to the

“What do you say about Hourglass Cañon, young lady? Do you want to
share it with me?”
“Well, I’ll go and look at it, but I wont promise anything.”
“All right. That’s fair enough. And you’ll call me Pat?”
Her eyes surveyed him merrily.
“Not until—you get a shave!” she said, and then was gone, running
after the tall figure of the sheriff, a laugh floating back to
Ramsay.
He followed, smiling.
