Where was the word that Leonard Byington was no more to her than any other man, that word which would have been the first to flash from her if conscience had not stopped it? Twice he sprang up in his bed, whispering: "They love! They love! Each knows it of the other! They love!" The second time, as he stared, suddenly he saw them!
To yield to thought would have been to think of her as no more to be drawn from these surrounding ties than some animate rainbow-fringed flower of the sea can be torn from its shell without laceration and death. To give thought word would have been to cry, "Oh, truest of womankind, where would this unsuspected man, this Leonard Byington, be if you were other than you are?"
Byington came up the road half an hour later at a cowpuncher's jog-trot. He slid from the saddle and came forward chewing tobacco. His impassive, leathery face expressed no emotion whatever. Carelessly and casually he shook hands. "How, Dave?" "How, Buck?" answered Sanders. The old puncher had always liked Dave Sanders. The boy had begun work on the range as a protégé of his.
The joint reply was cut short by Godfrey's imperative hail: "Leonard!" As Byington turned that way, Arthur said quietly to Mrs. Morris, "He's promised to retain charge" and nodded toward Isabel. The nod meant Isabel's financial investments. "And mine?" murmured the well-pleased lady. "Both." The two gave heed again to Godfrey, who was loudly asking Leonard, "Why didn't you tell us the news?"
