P ayston, angry and sullen, finally gave directions to the ranch. He continued, “You’ll find four men there. The herd’s probably still bunched on the river where we left ’em.”

Holt walked over to the desk where the other men were writing statements. Marshal Davis slid a blank piece of paper across the desk to Holt.

“Give me a statement, and write in it you were a deputy sheriff in Texas. That’ll help.”

Holt picked up a pencil and wrote what had happened, then slid it back across to the marshal. “You satisfied those are Lazy M cows?”

“Yep.”

“And we’re free to do with ’em as we please?”

“Your cows.”

“Ike, what would you think about selling them to the army? We can get a pretty good price, and it’ll save driving them all the way back to the ranch.”

“I reckon Miss Maser’ll be right glad to get the money.”

Statements finished, the marshal thanked the men and they trooped out, pausing outside the office.

“Those horses are beat,” Ike said. “Holt, you were talking with the captain, why don’t you ride to the fort and sell the cattle. We’ll grab hotel rooms in the Longhorn and figure on pulling out in the morning.”

“Meet you there,” Holt said, and swung up on his horse.
