I don't know how it was whether somebody played me false and sold us, or whether your friend Flatray got loose and his posse stumbled in by accident. But there they were in the Cache when we got back." "Yes?" The keenest agitation was in Melissy's voice. "They took us by surprise. We fought. Two of my men ran away. Two were shot down. I was alone." "And then?" The devil of torment moved in him.
Don't you think for a moment I'm going to weaken. No, sir! You'll sit there with my gun poked in your face just as you've sat for six hours.

"Be glad to hear your proof later. He ce'tainly planned the hold-up.

The girl's feeling, too, was unselfish. She could not forget the deep hunger for friendship that had shone in the man's eyes. He was alone in the world, a strong man surrounded by enemies who would probably destroy him in the end.
