In the accusation, which was shot through with tremulous imprecations, the "organization" and the railroad company were implicated as if they were one. In one breath the fugitive charged the "double-crossing" to Kittredge, and in the next he accused the "big boss" himself, of having passed the sentence of deportation. "You say you were driven out?
Think I'm going to see that bunch of holy grafters get away with the swag and us not climb in?" snorted old Henry. "Well, I don't like to do it. Kind of double-crossing." "It ain't. It's triple-crossing. It's the public that gets double-crossed.
And you lied to us kept us sitting round, wasting our time and all the while you've been double-crossing us!"

"Can you vouch for each and every member of his gang?" "I know nothing about his gang, as you call it. If I am not mistaken, this fellow Mendez is one of your pet supporters.

You can go with her and keep her under your eye until the trouble blows over." He saw a look in the man's face and correctly interpreted it.

I'm on my way to keep that appointment I mentioned last night I'd ce'tainly be glad to have you go along. Nothing like being on the spot to prevent double-crossing." "I'm with you in the fling of a cow's tail. Come on, boys."
"I knew that there was some bird's-eye in the timber, and that I was not getting it. But I laid it to outside thieves never supposed one of my own foremen was double-crossing me. "That is Moncrossen's finish!" he added grimly. "I need him this winter. Too many contracts to afford to do without him.
