KANSAS - APRIL 1897

What was Jennie Andrews running away from? Jennie's introduction to the detective-turned-rancher Cole Bryant didn't exactly go over well. Jennie had trained as a Harvey girl along with Rae Hansen to serve meals at the railroad stops and went to the furthest reaches of the territories [well almost]. She became very nervous when she spied a tall, powerfully built man in black with black hair that reached unfashionably to his shoulders. He lit up a hand-rolled cigarette as he leaned against the building. Was he watching her? Then we meet Cole's younger brother, Matt. He has eyes for Rae and teased his brother, who objected to Matt riding shot-gun on the baggage car. Cole wants Matt to come home to the C bar M ranch. Trouble shows up when the train is held up and the villians jammed some dynamite under the baggage car door. Cole makes a run down the line of cars and grabs the dynamite [what was it that he heard?]. The robbers take off. Cole is injured and Jennie, who has had some practical training in hospital in Boston comes to Cole's rescue. Therein the story gets a bit intense with Cole's recovery. He is not happy. Matt is scared for Cole. Jennie used some smart back-talk to egg Cole on to recovery. By the way, Cole is engaged. It didn't last long after his injury. It takes a bit of bullying and sharing of troubles for Cole to find out what Jennie is afraid of. He is continually have one thing and another happen to him. Someone is intent on making him suffer. Protecting Jennie turns out to be an excellent story with a lot of human interest, a bit of revealing emotion and mystery. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --
