Until then Dundee had let his chief express his pent-up convictions without interruption, and indeed Sanderson's courtroom training had fitted him admirably for long speeches. But he could keep silent no longer. "That is what has been worrying me, chief," he interrupted.
Sanderson, though, despite his conviction, felt a pulse of sympathy for the first rider. It was that emotion which impelled him to keep going cautiously forward when, by all the rules of life in that country, he should have stood at a distance to allow the men to fight it out among themselves. Sanderson's interest grew as the fight progressed.
For Williams told him that he had "gone the limit," which meant that every cent to Sanderson's credit in the Lazette bank had been pledged to pay for the material the engineer had ordered. "We're going to rush things from now on," Williams told Sanderson. "Next week we'll need ten thousand dollars, at least." Sanderson went into the house and had a long talk with Mary Bransford.
The girls wasted no time in words, and led him swiftly up the stairs, pausing before Mrs. Sanderson's door. "What shall we do if she's gone?" whispered Betty, a sudden panic seizing her. Then, without further delay, rapped smartly on the door. At the answering "come in" they tumbled into the room, followed by Sergeant Mullins. Then it was the second miracle happened! Mrs.

On the seventh day Sanderson and Owen returned. Mary saw them ride in and she ran to the door and waved a hand to them.
"I didn't say," grinned the little man. "There's places that are hotter than an oven. And if a man has never been a wolf with women, it might be expected that he'd feel sort of warm to be kissed and fussed over by a sister he's not seen for a good many years. He'd seem like a stranger to her almost." Sanderson's eyes glowed with a new interest in the little man.
And then, because of the sick-calf look on Bill Sanderson's face as he stared at Eve, I added him, though I'd always liked the guy. Eve, surprisingly, had as many guys after her as Jenny; but she didn't seem interested. Or maybe she did she'd pulled her hair back and put on a dress that made her figure look good.
