They stood within the grim circle, embarrassed, their heads bowed, their attitude revealing their shame at having been caught so easily. One of the men, a clear, steady-eyed fellow, laughed frankly. "Well, we're plum easy, ain't we boys?" he said, looking around at the silent group. "Corraled us without lettin' off a gun. That's what I'd call re-diculous. You're right welcome.
"My partner's coming along behind you; you're corraled all right. I've a warrant for you, Louis Shillito." The North-West Police work in couples and the situation was plain.
