Nowoutfitted in new clothes and guns, he decides to finish what the former ownershad set out to do. “FourCard Draw”Allen Ring drew four cards in a poker gamewith Ben Taylor and won a small ranch. It’s all Allen had ever hoped to have—but Marshall Bilton is determined to make things difficult. “His Brother’s Debt”Rock Casady is considered a coward becausehe won’t go into town. But that was before Sue Landon asked Rock to accompany her to make some needed purchases—and Casady can’t say no to a lady. “A Strong Land Growing”Marshal Fitz Moore of Sentinel hearsthat outlaws plan to hit his town.
