To a young engineer just arrived in AZ to recover from a serious illness, the sight of a funeral ceremony was not particularly reassuring. Since there was no minister present, George Dean volunteered to read a few words from the prayer book. He learned that the man being buried, Frank Lincoln, had been killed while working on a water sluice at Elbow River, and that he had left a widow and a pretty daughter. Before Dean had really had time to consider what he was doing, he had agreed to stay at the Lincoln ranch long enough to complete the irrigation system Lincoln had started. This meant that whoever had killed Lincoln now had his rifle at the ready for Dean who, in addition to dodging bullets and working at the river, had to take care of his two charges and avenge their breadwinner's death. Gold as well as water plays a part in this exciting yarn about North of the Border country.
