This untitled and unfinished story by Robert E. Howard introduces us to a young, well-built man with a commanding presence, first encountered in the Paradise saloon. His appearance is striking—fine, keen grey eyes and a somewhat handsome face, and he moves with the grace of a panther. The notable detail about his attire is the presence of two big black guns, holstered low on each hip and tied down, hinting at his readiness for trouble and skill in handling it.
