Gordon Invites Himself to Dinner
and Does Not Enjoy It.

Gordon Invites Himself to Dinner
and Does Not Enjoy It.
Big Bill and his companions reached
Kamatlah early next day, They re-
ported at once to Selfridge. 1t had
been the intention of Wally to vent
upon them the bad temper that had
been gathering ever since his talk with
Elliot. But his first sarcastic ques-
ton drew such a snarl of anger that
he reconsidered. The men were both
sullen and furious.
The little man became alarmed. In
stead of reproaches he gave them soft
words and promises. The company
would see them through. 1t would pro-
tect them against criminal procedure,
But above all they must stand pat In
denial. A conviction would be impOs-
sible even If the states attorney filed
an indictment against them. Mean
while they would remain on the COM
pany pay roll.
Gordon Elliot was trained investi-
gator. Even without Holt at his side
he would probably have unearthed the
truth about the Kamatlah situation.
But with the little miner by his side
to tell him the facts, he found his task
an easy one.
Selfridge followed orders and let
him talk with the men freely. All OF
them had been drilled till they knew
their story like parrots. They were
suspicious Of the approaches Of Ell.
