"And there is one other thing," went on Judith swiftly, "known to no one but Emmet Sawyer, whom I told, nnd me and Chris Quinnion. In father's letter he told me that a man had paid him some money the day before, and that he was going to drive to Rocky Bend to bank it. That money, several hundred dollars, was never hanked.

Not enough to hang Chris Qulnnton, Bud Lee. But enough to make me sure. He's working at Trevors’ game right now. If we can prove that it is Trevors’ game it will go to show ' how worthless his alibi was.” "Well?" called Quinnion, the third time. "What about it?

It's our one bet, Lee!” And Bud Lee, seeing no better way ahead for them, blew out the candle, forced Judith to stand close to the rock chimney of the fireplace, took Ids station near her, and answered Quinnion, saying shortly: "Come ahead when you’re ready.

"I don't mind telling you, not seeing the end of the string we are playing, that you are a man to my liking!” "My hat’s off," said Lee, with gravq simplicity. “And in any old kind of a fight a man wouldn’t want a better purdner than I can reach now, putting out my hand. He’d want just a thoroughbred!
