She wanted to get to her chair in the drawing-room. "Holdup?" she murmured. "They're always having holdups somewhere." "Not like this," said Chrystie. "It was a good one Knapp and Garland and they shot Wells Fargo's messenger." "It was while I was there," said Mark, "up toward the foothills above our ranch." The young ladies were immensely interested.

I saw the look in your eyes the day Carlisle was talkin' to you when you was on the hoss. I know you helped him in his holdups, dressed like a boy, but I figured you didn't do it because you wanted to."
Besides that, there had to be a motive behind crime, and he knew of none in the doctor's case. He was not the kind of man that the sluggers and holdups of the place practiced upon, sober and straight as he always had been.
