When I see her I want her to stay with me; I want to hug her." "Perhaps we've been unjust to Lize all along," suggested Redfield. "She has remained faithful to Ed Wetherford's memory all these years that is conceded. Doesn't that argue some unusual quality? How many women do we know who are capable of such loyalty? Come, now!
"I don't blame them," replied Ross. "It isn't a nice job, even when you've got all the conveniences." His eyes, as he spoke, were on the figure of Lee, who still stood on the bridge awed and worshipful, barred of approach by Lize. "She shall not know," he silently vowed. "Why put her through useless suffering and shame? Edward Wetherford's disordered life is near its end.
Wetherford's poor misspent life is already over for her, and for Lee he is only a dim memory." Redfield came near enough to see that the ranger's face, though tired, showed no sign of illness, and was relieved. "Who is this old herder?" he asked. "Hasn't he any relatives in the country?" "He came from Texas, so he said.
Lee Virginia studied young Gregg with interest, for his dress was that of a man to whom money came easy, and his face was handsome, though rather fat and sullen.

"Would a doctor come?" asked Ross, huskily, moved by Wetherford's words. "It's a hard climb. Would they think the dago worth it?" Wetherford's face darkened with a look of doubt.
She'll only be worried by my story. I reckon I'd better keep dark to everybody. Let me go back. I'm plum scared cold." While still he argued, two men on horseback rounded a sharp turn in the trail and came face to face with the ranger. Wetherford's face went suddenly gray. "My God, there's the deputy!" "Keep quiet.
"I cannot endure this," she had repeated to herself a hundred times. "I will not!" The flies were nearly as bad as ever but not quite, for under Mrs. Wetherford's dragooning the waiters had made a nerveless assault upon them with newspaper bludgeons, and a few of them had been driven out into the street.
"To the outsider a forest ranger at $900 a year and find himself and horses is not what you may call a brilliant catch." "Oh, well, the outsider is no judge. Ross Cavanagh is a gentleman, and, besides, he's sure to be promoted. I acknowledge the girl's charms, and I don't understand it. When I think of her objectively as Lize Wetherford's girl I wonder at her being in my house.
