Winner Take All

At the water tanks, a frugal tub overflows one sweet, musical drip at a time—and Blue Jeans, broke and battered, has nowhere he wants to go.

Across the tracks, dusty Reservoir offers little comfort to a twenty-two-year-old cowpuncher riding a weary mare. Blue Jeans once had a bright Dream: a job with a university professor hunting prehistoric bones. But a mule, a failed search for work, trouble with a railroad superintendent, and one disastrous poker game have left him nearly penniless. He can laugh at bad luck, but it is harder to stay hopeful when every road seems to close just as he reaches it. Now even the next step is uncertain—and the town ahead may hold something he never expected. Is Luck finished with Blue Jeans, or only testing him?
