"She's gone too.

Whoever it was took her off in a car from up at the head of Sim Gage's lane." Doctor Barnes got down out of the car, and the two walked through Nels Jensen's gate.

He agreed that one of his boys would carry the news to the Company dam.
"Better give us a little something to eat along with us, Karen," he said to his wife.

He took down his rifle, and looked inquiringly at Doctor Barnes.
