Fischer beat his little tattoo upon the trapdoor, crawled through it and underneath the flap in the counter, out into the saloon. He paused for a moment to look around, on his way to the door. The fight was apparently over, for every one was standing at the counter, drinking with a swarthy-faced man whose cheeks were stained with blood. From a distant corner came the sound of groans.

"Look at Crazy Frenchy's gal diked out in all them duds," one of the company exclaimed. "She do look good, crazy or no crazy," remarked a swarthy-faced guide eying Phoebe with admiration.
