The Killer begins: I want to state right at the start that I am writing this story twenty years after it happened solely because my wife and Senor Buck Johnson insist on it. Myself, I don�������t think it a good yarn. It hasn�������t any love story in it; and there isn�������t any plot. Things just happened, one thing after the other. There ought to be a yarn in it somehow, and I suppose if a fellow wanted to lie a little he could make a tail-twister out of it. Anyway, here goes; and if you don�������t like it, you know you can quit at any stage of the game.
