“No hard rider, Luke drooped in his saddle and was so stiff and sore he could barely heave himself out of the saddle. The four who had ridden in with him seemed scarcely affected by the sixty mile ride. They were Burt Sanders, tall and brown haired, Sean and Mike Regan, twin brothers, red of hair and with startlingly blue eyes, and Abe Thomas, fortyish and sun dried to the toughness of good leather. Thomas had raised cattle in a small way until Donovan had forced him off the ranges, whilst the t...wo Regans and Sanders were sons of homesteading families that had been ruthlessly driven from their lands by MD riders. All four had a burning desire to pull Donovan’s empire down. Sam and Lucy Stevens came out on to the veranda as the thud of hoofs reached them. There were greetings, expressions of surprise at the way the Regan brothers and Sanders had grown from youths into tough young men in the seven or eight years since the parties had last met and on the part of the new arrivals a good deal of remarking on the fact that Lucy had grown from a pigtailed child into a young woman of considerable attraction.MoreLessRead More Read Less
