 An hour later Dale and a score of Littlefords and Morelands entered the big downstairs room of the office and supplies building. The defeated Balls and Turner's lounged here and there. Sullen and silent, on the rough-hoard ficor of their temporary prison
 Dale walked into their midst and addressed them quietly.
