was an ex-ranger. I followed that
barber all over town because one hair-
cut was always worth at least three
plots. Whenever I need an idea I
send for one of my ex-ranger friends.
They tell the moot marvelous tales of
early Texas days and never suspect
that the things they did were brave or
unusual.”
