Ganew assented with a half-surly civility to Elder Kinney's proposition to ride down with him. "I've got a matter of business to talk over with you, Mr. Ganew," said the Elder, "and I came up here on purpose to find you." The man turned his stolid black eyes full on the Elder, but made no reply. It was indeed an evil face.
