I thought perhaps you would like to explain how it got there." "I left it there, Gary--I forgot it." "You admit you were there ?" "Certainly.

Why should I deny it?
Do you want to know why I went there, Gary ?" "I'd like to know, of course," said Warden.

He was standing, tense, his eyes glowing with passion that he was trying to control; his face ashen.
"I started for the Circle L.I wanted to see Lawler.

You didn't know that I had met him one day at the foot of the stairs leading from your office, in town.

Well, I did, Gary; and I fell in love with him." She heard Warden's gasp; saw his eyes glow into hers with a jealous fury that seemed to threaten to drive him to violence.
"Bah; don't be silly, Gary," she admonished coldly.
