20–6633
Following her father’s death, Patty Sinclair goes West to locate his claim. She has only his map with the directions she is too unskilled to read to guide her, but she follows his example in playing a lone hand and will not ask advice. She soon learns that her movements are watched and that in her absence her cabin is being searched. Suspicion might fall on two men and she picks the wrong one. Vil Holland knows that she distrusts him but that makes no difference in his attitude toward her. He knows too her opinion of the brown jug she has seen attached to his saddle, but out of perversity he continues to carry it. In the end the true villain is unmasked and the race for the registry office that follows her finding of the claim has a different meaning and a different outcome from the one she had anticipated.
“Bright and interesting story.”
