[The Seventh Man by Max Brand]@TWC D-Link bookThe Seventh Man CHAPTER XXIX 15/16
Johnny, listen hard and shut up.
You got half an hour to turn out every man in your town.
Ride south till you get in the hills on a bee-line east of where Tucker Creek runs into the old Asper.
D'ye hear? Then keep your eyes peeled to the east, and watch for a man on a black hoss ridin' hard, because Barry is sure as hell goin' to double back out of the Morgan Hills and come west like a scairt coyote.
The posse will be behind him, but they most like be a hell of a ways to the bad.
