"A snake," said Calumet in a voice loud enough for Betty to hear. "A snake! Holy smoke!" growled Dade in disgust.

"Fine night for love-affairs, by gum!" "I'd noticed that," rejoined Duane, dryly. "Wal, I'm a son of a gun if I didn't stand an' watch Bland choke his wife till her tongue stuck out an' she got black in the face." "No!" ejaculated Duane. "Hope to die if I didn't.

He did not feel called upon to help this girl. Tode considered girls entirely unnecessary evils. Nan looked disappointed, but she said no more.
