around his mouth and yelled.
"Sheriff!"

"Will you come inside a minute,

"Want me, too?" McCabe asked.
"Yeah," the Sheriff answered.

"It's a ledger page," he said.
There was annoyance in his voice.
"It's the account of George Akers."
"Oh," Buck said. "George

There was a sudden ciauer oi

"I'd better see who it is," she
said and she went to the kitchen
