You were wise to tell us to go ahead if you were not here what did you look for?" "Just about what I got," said Kenset smiling, "and I wanted things to be pushed through anyway." "Well, they're pushing," said Burn-Harris.
He could feel the silence grow tense with expectancy; and when he lifted his eyes, he knew that every man in that tent was staring into his face. "I used to believe," he began clearly, "in the Vigilantes. If I had been here when the first Committee was formed, I'd have worked for it myself. I believe it cleared the town of some of the worst scoundrels in the country, and that's saying a good deal.
