When the woman's husband dies in front of Scrap, the old flame disappears.

Scarecrows: Tommy Stallings hears his aunt and uncle in Texas are in trouble. He and his cousin, Rusty, leave the New Mexico Territory and head east. Cattle rustlers are terrorizing small ranchers in the Texas Panhandle and his Aunt Martha insists they look like "scarecrows" because of the canvas bags they wear to hide their faces. Tommy and Rusty join forces with Bill Slaughter, agent for the Stock-Raisers' Association of North-West Texas, to investigate the rash of crimes. Double deceit: A man named Dunbar comes to Temple Basin where he goes to work for an old rancher who is laid up with a broken leg. The rancher's granddaughter tells the story. After one man turns up dead and another man is known to have gone missing, it becomes known that Dunbar has come on a mission to find a killer and bring him to justice. Cold the bitter heart: A child's personality often mirrors that of a parent. Could it be Catherine Baxter was hiding behind a façade of fake innocence?
