The exact nature of that information I cannot state, but it is reasonable to deduce that you could, at the present moment, name the place where the man for whom Mr.Cumberland and his daughter wait is now located." Buck Daniels made no reply, but he returned to his chair and slumped heavily into it, staring at the little doctor.

And Byrne realised with a thrill of pleasure that he was not afraid of death.
"I may further deduct," said the doctor, "that you will go in person to the place where you know this man may be found and induce him to come to this ranch." The silent anger of Daniels died away.

He smiled, and at length he laughed without mirth.
"Doc," he said, "if you knew where there was a gun, would that make you want to put it up agin your head and pull the trigger ?" But the doctor proceeded inexorably with his deductions: "Because you are aware, Mr.Daniels, that the presence of this man may save the life of Mr.Cumberland, a thought, to be sure, which might not be accepted by the medical fraternity, but which may without undue exaggeration devolve from the psychological situation in this house." "Doc," said Daniels huskily, "you talk straight, and you act straight, and I think you are straight, so I'll take off the bridle and talk free.
I know where Whistling Dan is--just about.

But if I was to go to him and bring him here I'd bust the heart of Kate Cumberland.

D'you understand ?" His voice lowered with an intense emotion.
