The badman, the sheriff an aged party with whiskers and boots the holdup, the sad eyes of the sheriff's daughter also an aged party, but with a sunbonnet and the most expensive rouge the crook's reformation, and his violent adherence to law and order; this libel upon the portions of these United States lying west of longitude 101° Claire had seen too often.
