Hector and the Gambler's Gold Watch by Sharon Hart Addy
Hector stepped out of the blazing sunlight onto the shaded porch of the stagecoach station. The stagehands lounging nearby took no notice of him.

"Last week it was a lone rider," one of them was whispering."He made everyone empty their pockets and take off their boots and hats. He knows where people hide things."

Hector gripped the edge of his jacket to feel the money sewn inside the lining. It was all he had in the world. That and the letter from Uncle Jake.
