Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "The game of cat and mouse had lasted a week and covered many miles before Rogue Bishop tired of it. His pursuer was Rory Ballinashawn, a cowboy who was unwilling to accept graciously his defeat by Bishop in a game of poker. Bishop had stopped and waited, without fear, for the young cattleman to catch up. The problem had to be settled, probably with six-guns. As the two men confronted one another, a stage coach came into view. Suddenly, there was a rifle shot, and four American gunmen rushed out to halt the stage. But the holdup was interrupted by a second group of outlaws, Mexicans this time, who drove off the Americans and pulled a woman, a kicking, clawing, screaming wildcat, from the stage. Ballinashawn's and Bishop's chivalry was aroused, and the erstwhile opponents joined forces and went to her rescue. They were soon in the middle of an intrigue involving a pretty, young heiress and a Spanish land grant claimed by two ruthless adversaries, each of whom wanted the girl in his power -- and Bishop and Ballinashawn out of the way."-- Provided by publisher.
