In the title story a country judge holds court in a bare, papered room in Manzanita, a little Northern California town, with the flag draped behind his pine desk. The other stories range over the same country: a doctor, a Chinese powder-man, a Spanish mission bell, a search for a spring, and the revenge of Manuelita.
