"Set down there an' keep still as a mouse till I get back," he admonished. "I won't be long." The room had grown still—a graveyard hush, broken only by a sob from the tenderest-hearted of the girls, who knew that Billy had lied to save one of their sex.

It was known throughout this community that the one friend old Scroggie had trusted was Spencer, the store-keeper, who, having quarreled with the elder Stanhope over a survey of property, held a secret grudge against his son, Frank." "Naw, why should there be? That's what you're supposed to do, if you get the chance—shoot 'em, an' get the reward.".
