Vernon never struck this cache he told the folks at the post so. Worked with him once trail-cutting what that man said goes!" "You never told me you knew Vernon!" exclaimed Lisle.

"I'm badly worried; any move of mine would lead to endless trouble and yet there's the black blot on the memory of the man to whom I owe so much; I can't bring myself to let it remain.
