Max Brand, Singing Guns (1938)
THE SHERIFF AND THE BANDIT
Sheriff Caradac had tracked down his man. As he sighted the rifle muzzle on the muscular body of his unsuspecting victim, he realized there wasn’t another man in the West like him. For a moment he hesitated. Then. Almost automatically, he lifted his gun and shifted his left foot a bit forward. As he fired, he felt a stone turn under him, and even before his finger fell from the trigger, he knew he had missed.
Out of that strange twist of fate, there grew an even stranger friendship—one that took a sheriff and an outlaw on a trail of high adventure that could have destroyed them both!
