“ The annual Fall Round-up at the Ashley Ranch.
"I've spotted a bunch of Ashley's cattle near the mouth of the canyon. I figure we'd better pull it off right away."
"Duke gang make big talk in there——dam'!"
"We'll tear down a strip of fence and shoot 'em through the tunnel while they're thinking about it."
"Pray for her, my boy, pray for her!"
In this hour of need.
"Oh God——I've forgotten how to pray. But please, God, don't let her die——this way. She's all I've got . . ."
"When a man's religion will let him do what you've done——an' live——there must be somethin' to it, that's all." ”

“ Canada! A land where Nature must glory in her handiwork.
Far to the North and West——half hidden among hills that sleep in the shadow of silent eternal peaks——lies the tiny settlement of Swan Creek.
The social center of Swan Creek——well named "The Stopping Place." Here gathered those who rode the wild trail to the cut-bank of destruction.
Into this little frontier settlement, primitive, godless——came a stranger——from beyond the waving skyline of the foothills. ”

“ The examination over.
"Don't worry, Gwen——everything will come out all right."
"Old Timer, I hate to say it, but——I don't believe Gwen will ever walk again."
"Never walk again——my baby! It's a lie, I tell you——a lie!"
"Just a thing——lying here with its body dead——waiting to die!"
"There must be some way to make this easier for her."
"You hate God because you think He is making you suffer——is that it?"
"The Doctor hurts you terribly, yet your father, who loves you, allows him to do it." ”
