In front of the Methodist Church at Farmington his eyelids dropped, the front wheels fluttered, the car curved, careened, crashed into the back of a parked truck.

But although she conducts a thieves' den and liquor saloon, Salt Chunk is violently opposed to white slavery, has a 14-karat heart. To her resort comes a youthful badman who soon pokes his neck in the shadow of the gallows.
