many men would have come on such
a wild-goose chase to Denver in the
hope of getting back fayorite horse
worth so little in actual cash. But he
meant to move to his end intelli-
gently
If Miller and Doble were in the
city they would be hanging out at
some saloon or gambling-house.
His knowledge of their habits took
him to that part Of town below
Lawrence street. While he chatted

beer in front of him, he made in

Dave did not care how much they

they would give him only one trail
