A step on the stairs. Could it be the medical man I had sent for? That would be indeed a blessing. A man entered—it was Cameron! He came in jauntily, with the words, “How now, Saunders, you rascal! What more do you want to get out of me?” He started at the sight of a stranger. I rose from my kneeling posture like an accusing spirit.
If so, come to Killimaga to-day, quite early. Somehow I am always lonesome now. Ruth." It was rather strange or was it? that, in spite of what Mark knew, he watched his chance and, when the waiter turned his back, kissed the sheet of scented paper. Saunders was in the hotel office when Mark came out of the dining room. The constable was with him.
"Why, Saunders, what is it? That's Rally! Were you going to meet Uncle Walter?" "No, Miss. I'm in a hurry. Just hand over that letter that young Collie give to you at the ranch. I want it. I mean business." "You want the letter? What do you mean? What right have you " "No right. Only I want it. I don't want to make trouble." "You! A Western man, and speak that way to a woman!
