"Are you alone?" went on Sampson's penetrating voice, colder now. "Yes," replied Sally. The door swung inward with a swift scrape and jar. Sampson half entered, haggard, flaming-eyed.

Thereupon the cowboy, with gun low and apparently not aiming, shot again, this time almost tearing Shurd's arm off. Then he prodded Shurd with the cocked gun. The man turned ghastly. He seemed just now to have realized the nature of this gaunt flaming-eyed cowboy.
Between exhaustion and terror that paralyzed her she was unable to get up, though she tried. The steer, flaming-eyed, was now less than fifty yards from her. Helene felt herself grow nauseated.
