"Did you ever ride the range?" "No." "What sort of work have you done?" After a scarcely noticeable pause, "Clerical work," he answered. "You're from the East?" she suggested, her eyes narrowing. "Yes." "My name is Melissy Lee," she told him, watching him very steadily. Once more the least of pauses. "Mine is Diller James Diller." "That's funny. I know another man of that name.
"That wasn't how you talked the other day." "No. It's how I talk now. I'm a hunted man, wanted for murder. I make you a present of the information." "You make me a present of what I already know, Mr. Diller, alias Morse, alias Bellamy." "You guessed it the first day?" "Yes." "And meant to keep quiet about it?"

I wish I could do something for you ... carry a message to your folks and tell them how it happened." He dropped down again beside the dead man and rifled the pockets. In them he found two letters addressed in an illiterate hand to James Diller, Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. An idea flashed into his brain and for a moment held him motionless while he worked it out.

He had sidestepped her little trap, but she did not give up. "Just arrived?" "I've been herding sheep for a month." "Oh, sheep-herding!"
Where it once stood, there is now a placid lake. The parsonage is swept away, and the rector of the church, Rev. Mr. Diller, was drowned. Buried Under Falling Buildings. The church was one of the first buildings to fall. It carried with it several of the surrounding houses. Many of them were occupied.
Diller, alias Morse, alias Bellamy, did not long remain at the Bar Double G as a rider. It developed that he had money, and, tenderfoot though he was, the man showed a shrewd judgment in his investments. He bought sheep and put them on the government forest reserve, much to the annoyance of the cattlemen of the district.
