"Jersey's a queer sort of State," said Jim, teasingly. "The Blue Laws are still in operation.
Whitney Stoddard was a man rated high up in the millions, but he was fallible like the rest. His wealth, compared to Rimrock's was as a hundred dollars to one, but it was spread out a hundred times as far; and with his next dividend, which was due in December, Rimrock would have nearly a million in cash.
The man was in the costume of a cowboy, with rifle, revolver and all the paraphernalia of the craft. "Is your name Whitney?" asked the horseman, speaking first. "It is; what can I do for you?"

She and Marie, with the doctor and Allen Harrison, had arrived on the first train out of the Springs in four days, and Mrs. Whitney's greeting of Glover in the office was disconcerting.
