But Hank 'joins trembling with his mirth, for Boyle got after him with the same demands." The Superintendent was filled with delighted pride in his missionary. "That's the kind of man we want. He ought to do well in your railroad field." "Yes," replied the Convener hesitatingly. "You think he ought to go? Windermere will be furious. I wouldn't care to go in there after Boyle is removed."
"Up these valleys somewhere," continued the Convener, waving his hands towards the southern sky-line, "are the men the ranchers and cowboys I told you of last night. Some good men, and some of them devils men good by nature, devils by circumstance, poor fellows. They won't want you, perhaps, but they need you badly.

"Come outside a minute," said the Convener, taking his arm. "Now tell me what you want to say and perhaps I can help you." "Oh!" cried Shock, wreathing his great fingers an his agony. "I want to say goodbye No, no, not that! I want to tell her give her my love and say I want to see her. She will be wanting me." His breath began to come in great heaving sobs. "Let me try," said his friend.
They did "talk with their feet," and to such good purpose that in less than two hours Shock stood at the door of his Convener's house, his mind bewildered, his senses numbed from the terrible strain through which he had passed. "Come in, my dear fellow," said the Convener, who had evidently been expecting him, "come right in." But Shock stood at the door.
