As the men yawningly arose to obey, Dick Larkin defiantly said to the winners, "I've just got ten beans left, and I'll cut high card with any man to see who takes mine or I take one of his poker steers." "My father was killed in the battle of the Wilderness," replied Tex, "and I'm as game a breed as you are. I'll match your beans and pit you my bar-circle-bar steer."
O. Larkin, Esq., late U.S. Consul in California, by a party of Californians, and of an engagement between the same Californians and a party of Americans escorting a caballada of 400 horses to Colonel Fremont's camp in Monterey. In this affair three Americans were killed, viz.: Capt. Burroughs, Capt. Foster, and Mr. Eames, late of St. Louis, Mo.
Mormons are hell on secret and mystery, and to pry into their affairs is to queer yourself. My advice is just be as nice as you can be, and let things happen." Fay Larkin! All in a night Shefford had forgotten her. Why? He pondered over the matter, and then the old thrill, the old desire, came back. "Shefford, what do you think Nas Ta Bega said to me last night?" asked Withers in lower voice.
"Did you ever hear of a child a girl a woman called Fay Larkin?" Withers rose slowly with a paling face. "If you're a spy it'll go hard with you though I'm no Mormon," he said, grimly.

'Now, Willie darling, you must not go till you have had your breakfast you will make yourself ill indeed you will do come back, just to please me, and eat a little first. 'No, darling; no, my love I can't, indeed. I'll be back immediately; but I must catch Mr. Larkin before he goes out.
"All the letters from the States bear the postmark, 'Food Will Win The War. I guess the Army is trying to save on candles, too." Before sunup the following morning McGee awoke and began quietly dressing. He did not want to awaken Larkin. When he had finished dressing he tiptoed cautiously across the floor, opened the creaking door ever so slowly and closed it with the same care.

'It was only an hour since, in conversation with our policeman, Edwards, that I mentioned the fact of my having myself travelled from London to Shillingsworth last night with Mr. Mark Wylder, who went on by train in this direction, I presume, to meet our unfortunate friend, Captain Lake, by appointment.
Larkin, in the guise of charity, was prosecuting his designs upon the vicar's reversion, and often most cruelly and most artfully, when he frankly fancied his conduct most praiseworthy.
This epistle disturbed Mr. Jos. Larkin profoundly. He could recollect no such name as James Dutton. He did not know whether to believe this letter or not. He could not decide what present use to make of it, nor whether to mention it to Captain Lake, nor, if he did so, how it was best to open the matter.
