Her heart had read him truly that night in the garden close. She heard Chadron ride away as she watched there for the dawn, and saw the cowboy guard that he had established rouse themselves while the east was only palely light and kindle their little fires.

The wind that swirled from the dim twilight horizon made the warm glow from the furnace to be a grateful thing. As the train shot out of Carlisle, a glance backward could learn of the faint, yellow blocks of light from the carriages marked on the dimmed ground.

She explained, earnestly pleading with eyes that had lost their power to charm him. "I heard you were here that you were in trouble. I want to help you. I got here night before last to Manti.
'Dr Simon, of course, has called? he inquired suavely. 'Yes, sir. 'Ah, and gone' as I feared. And Mrs Lawford? 'I think Mrs Lawford is in, sir. Lawford put out a detaining hand.
