“Well, well, Miss Mallory, I’m happy to see you’re up and around after a very unpleasant evening,” he greeted her. “This is Trooper Jenkins. Doubt if you remember him from last night, what with things happening as fast as they did.”

“I’m afraid I didn’t have much time to recognize anybody last night, Sheriff,” Lindsay admitted, smiling at the two men. “But let me say you two could not have been more welcome anywhere in the world than you were last night.”

“Mighty glad we could get there in time, Miss Mallory,” said Sheriff Grimes, while Trooper Jenkins eyed her with the lively appreciation any normal young man shows for a pretty girl. “Guess we better let Miss Jennifer in on what happened. Good thing you are here, Miss Lindsay. Guess she’ll just about hit the roof when she knows what’s been going on here at the Bayou.”

The door of Miss Jennifer’s room opened, and Clara stood there. But before she could speak, Miss Jennifer called out sharply, “If that’s you, Ben Grimes, get yourself in here and tell me what in blue blazes has been going on.”

“Yessum, Miss Jennifer,” said Sheriff Grimes meekly. He winked at Lindsay and Clara as he walked past them into the room, followed by the tall, good-looking young trooper. “This is Bill Jenkins, Miss Jennifer.”

The sharp old eyes beneath the ruffled cap peered at Bill, and she growled, “Well, of course it is. Thought you’d left the Bayou for good, Bill. Seemed like it wasn’t good enough for you.”

“That’s right, Miss Jennifer,” said Bill pleasantly. “I was ambitious for something more than the Bayou offered in the way of a good living for my family.”

“Oh,” said Miss Jennifer, “so you’ve got a family, have you? Marry a Bayou girl?”

“Well, no,” Bill admitted. “A girl I met while I was in training at the barracks.”

“Bayou girls not good enough for you?” snorted Miss Jennifer.

“No, it wasn’t that, Miss Jennifer. But I waited until I’d been accepted for training as a trooper before I thought of getting married.”
