Brace, who was in attendance, with Crosby, on the two Ramirez girls, could not help being uneasily conscious of this, in addition to the awkwardness of meeting Miss Keene after the transfer of his affections elsewhere.

When he had disappeared she came out and sat down by her father.

"What have you done?" she asked, in her ordinary voice. "I have shot Ramirez infame!" he answered, with his eyes directed to where the shade was blackest.
