As a matter of fact, the end of the first week found him occupying the position of General Manager for the whole enterprise, an unsolicited honour but one which he was resolved that no one, great or small, should deride. He had one stormy "run-in," as he described it, with Mr. Landover and his group of satellites.
I guess Otto will know my intentions are honest, in spite of that 'fondest remembrance. "Then, on top of that, I had a run-in with the Swede for selling his rotten whiskey to them poor Injin boys that had a fight last night after they got tight on it. The Swede laughs and says nobody can prove he sold 'em a drop, and I says that's probably true. I says it's always hard to prove things.

He turned to face her, meeting her stormy eyes laughingly; and exclaimed: "Gee! Miss Langdon, you sure do look as if you'd been having a run-in with the governor.
