Howard peered down at his res- cuer, respect and amusement mir- rored in his eyes. “I expect you saved my life,” he said. “D'you do this sort of thing very often?” “Oh, all Pancho's men know me,” she answered lightly. “They raid Uncle Jim’s cattle, and swap shots with our cowboys; but they would not touch me.
