 Deciding that he had been away long enough, he went back to the house, where he found Underwood and Chester waiting for him in the living room.
 "Well?" demanded the boss of the establishment.
 She's flivver all right" remarked Charley as he set the lantern on the floor She's just what you said, a three-wheeler."
 And you don't recognize it?"
 NO. sir. It's a new sight to me. It's an amazin' visitation, so far's I'm concerned"
 You mean you didn't know there was a car locked up in that shed?"
 Jerome Underwood's eyes were fixed in a glare of incredulity, but Charley McSween gazed back with mild steadiness.
 Didn't know she was there. Didn't know the shed was locked. Hadn't been any call for anything that was kept in the she'd"
 "But-damn it-how could it get there?"
 Charley looked thoughtful.
 i've been tryin' to think" he said. If she had four wheels I'd say she got there in the regular way. But she's only got three wheels and soap box. That puts her in a class by herself. I can't figure her."
 Anybody around this ranch own a car?"
 No, sir. One of the boys had a once, but he couldn't learn to stay on the seat. We ain't had even a bicycle around here since"
 Underwood continued regard him with unwinlting amazement.
 You're supposed to know what's going on around here, aren't your" he demanded.
 "Yes, I reckon l am." said Charley. But it's 8 fair-sized ranch, and some- times I'm travein' around it."
 Do you want me to understand that hold-up gang can use my place as a headquarters without my foreman even knowing it?'
 No. sir. I don't aim to be perfect, l put l don't aim to be too careless, either. I take 1t you're feelin' pretty | certain 1t belongs to the gang"
 T am now. I only thought so be- | ore, and so did my son. But when I'm told that you don't know any hing about it, then I'm convinced"
 Tt looks reasonably convincin'." .dmitted Charley.
 What went on here the night be- ore I arrived?"
 'Nothin' that I specially recall. I eckon we all turned in pretty early" Could they have run car in here 7ithout your knowing it?"
 Looks like they did. Mir Under rood. It certainly makes me feel ind of foolish. bein' such a sound leeper. But there she is. settin' here on three wheels and a box. here ain't any argument about that" Charley knew that he was looking heepish. and felt it was the. right -ay to look.
