There would remain two more, and one of them was certain to kill him. Moving across the room he heard a whisper from the floor: "I've heard them, Lanning. Don't be a fool. Give me up to 'em!" He made no answer. In the other room the voices were no longer restrained; Jeff Rankin's in particular boomed and rang and filled the shed.
"He never should have ridden Lanning down in the first place. Should have let the fool kid go until he found out that Buck Heath wasn't killed. Then he would have come back of his own accord." "That's a good idea," remarked the other, "but sort of late, it strikes me. Did you tell that to the sheriff?" "Late it is," remarked Dozier, not following the question. "Now the poor kid is outlawed.
"Speakin' personal," said Buck Heath with much heartiness, "I don't pass up no chances with no man, and particular if he's Jasper Lanning." He hooked his arm through Jasper's elbow. "Besides, that boy of yours has got me all heated up. Where'd he learn them man-sized words, Jas?" All of which Andy heard, and he knew that Buck Heath intended him to hear them.
Doctor Lanning, moreover, had advised that Marie spend some further time in the mountains, where her gain in health had been decided. Among the features the general manager particularly wished Mr.

"What do you think of the idea?" Lanning asked. "I should have our Embassy there behind me, and I should probably manage to get in touch with the men who are active in Silesia's secret service.
While the discussion proceeded there came a telegram from Glover telling Doctor Lanning that the blast would be made about seven o'clock. Preparations to start were completed as the company rose from the table, and Gertrude Brock and Marie were urged to join the party.
"I have always wanted to go to the West Indies," said Nellie Lanning to Tom. "I want to pick some ripe bananas and cocoanuts right from the trees. "Yes, and ripe oranges," put in Grace. "Won't it be jolly?" she added, turning to Sam. "Too jolly for anything!" murmured Sam, and then he gave Grace's arm a little squeeze and led her through the crowd to where a carriage was in waiting.
"You are waiting for Mr. Lanning." The man hesitated. "I know," Quarles went on, "because I have just left your master. He is in trouble." "In trouble!" "Oh, we shall get him out of it all right. There is some mistake. I have a message for you. Come inside."
Bill Dozier led on his men for three hours at a steady pace until they came to Sullivan's ranch house in the valley. The place was dark, but the deputy threw a loose circle of his men around the house, and then knocked at the front door. Old man Sullivan answered in his bare feet. Did he know of the passing of young Lanning? Not only that, but he had sold Andrew a horse.
