A red flush leaped into Ashton's face. Gowan struck his spurs into his horse's flank and loped away. Ashton stood motionless. The puncher disappeared down the mountain side.

But the face beside him, turning in the clouding dust, had a keen look and the car kept its unbroken speed, and the plain flashed by. "He's in too big a hurry " said the driver sternly. "I want a look at that man! He knows too much." Too much!
If we save our charter and the road, your salary will be in line with the size of the achievement."
