The blood rushed to Key's pale face. "Prospectin' agin?" said the proprietor of the mill, with his weary smile. "No," said Key quickly, "only straightening my pack." The blood deepened in his cheek at his instinctive lie. Had he carefully thought it out before, he would have welcomed Collinson, and told him all. But now a quick, uneasy suspicion flashed upon him.
