"THE PRIDE OF THE WEST" Whitey wandered over to the Star Circle Ranch house.

He wanted to see Walt Lampson, who had paid little attention to him since the night of the fight.

Whitey was getting tired of staying at the Star Circle, and thought Walt might be ready now to ship the cattle to the Bar O, and thus give Whitey something to do.
Walt was not in the living-room, which was a large, untidy place that also served as an office.

There was a great, flat desk in one corner, and lying on it--among some dusty papers, reports and stock books--was a six-gun, with its belt and holster, a silver watch, a knife, and other odds and ends.

These were the property of poor Buck Milton, waiting till they were claimed, or would be disposed of.
Whitey looked at them sadly.
