"He took no particular notice except to say that what we claim from young Lester will have to be paid." "You don't know if he knew Hollis?" inquired Starmidge. The manager shook his head in a fashion which seemed to indicate that Hollis's case was no particular business of either his or his principal's. "I don't think he did," he answered. "Never said so, anyhow.
So I assented to Hollis's proposal, and offered to accompany him to the Warren I don't mind admitting that I was a little perhaps a good deal eager to see how Gabriel would behave when he discovered that his double dealing was found out and known to me. We therefore set off across Ellersdeane Hollow.
"In fact, as things are, I should say she'll only be too glad to give you any information you want. That ten thousand pounds being in Messrs.

It meant something for a man of Hollis's years and training to bury himself in this desolate sink-hole of iniquity; to elect to carry on an unequal war with interests that controlled the law machinery of the county and Territory whose power extended to Washington. No doubt the young man was even now brooding over the future, planning his fight, pessimistically considering his chances of success.
Near a window at the side of the room stood a grave faced man of medium height, slender and muscular, who was watching the Judge and Dunlavey soberly.

Feeling the futility of further objection, Hollis finally allowed her to enter. But while she was busy in one of the rooms he and Ten Spot carried Yuma's body outside, around to the rear of the cabin.
Never heard either name in my life until I saw them in the papers," asserted Simmons. "Who looks after the banking account at Hollis's?" asked the detective. "I mean, the business account you know. Not his private one." "I do," said Simmons. "Always have done since I went there." "You never saw any cheques paid to those names or any cheques from them?" inquired Starmidge. "Think, now!"
