Every sensible man wants something.
Murray This is a big country. There's
"a Worlds Fair running somewhere all
the time on it. Why not travel httleE
What DO you want?"
ct want my job. or l want a new su-
perintendent here
Just exactly the two things, and, by
heavens! the only two I can't manage.
Come once more and III meet YOU.
MOI" Sinclair rose to his feet. NO
damn your money This is my home.
The high country is my country; it's
where my friends are
ITS filled with your friends; l know
that. But don't put your trust in your
friends. They viii stay by you. I know;
! but once in a long while there will be
1 false friend, Murray, one that viii sell

u stay"
whispering Smith looked up in ad-
miration. L know you're game. 1t
| isn't necessary for me to say that TO
you. But think of the fight you are 60
/ ing into against the company. You can
worry them: you've done it. But a
, broncho might as we'll try to buck a
! locomotive as for one man or six or 500
/ to win GU tin the way you are playing"
Il will look out for my friends;
others" Sinclair hitched his belt and
paused but whispering Smith. cutting
and running the cards, gave no heed,
! His eyes were fixed on the green cloth
under his fingers. Others" repeated
Sinclair.
"Others?' echoed Whispering Smith,
/ good naturally.
May look out for themselves"

quarrel that is none of yours"
why, Murray, 1 never had a quarrel
with a man in my life
! you are pretty smooth, but you can
drive me out of this country. I know
how well you'd like TO do it; and, take
notice, there's one trail you can't cross
even if you stay here. l suppose you
understand that
Smith felt his heart leap. He sat in
his chair turning the pack slowly, but
with only one hand now; the other hand
was free. Sinclair eyed him sidewise
Smith mOistened his lips, and when he
replied spoke slowly: There is no need
of dragging any allusiOn TO her into it
For that matter. I told Bucks he should
have sent any man but me. If Tn in
the way, Sinclair, if my presence here
is all that stands I'm the way, I'll SC
back and stay back as before, and send
any one else YOU like or Buck likes
Are you willing to say that I stand in
the way of a settlement"
Sinclair sat down and put his hands
ON the table. No your matter ana
mine is another affair. All I want be
tween you and me is fair and right"
whispering Smiths eyes were on the
cards. You've always had it
Then keep away from her"
Don't tell me what to do"
Then don't tell me-"
I'm not telling you. You will do as
you please; so will I. I left here be-
cause Marion asked me to. I am here
now because 1 have been sent here. Il
is in the course of my business. 1 have
my living to earn and my friends L
protect Don't dictate to me, because
it would be of no use"
Wei, you know now how to get int
trouble"
Every one knows that; few know
how to keep out"
You can't lay your finger on me a
any turn Of the road"
Not if you behave yourself"
And you can't bully M"
surely not No hard feelings, Muir

if it's all the same to you I'll watch thi
