On the occasion of this visit he told Lawler he was trying to locate Warden, but so far hadn't been successful.
"An' I ain't found that Wharton woman, either!" he declared.

"I'm sendin' a man out to the Two Diamond for both of them, an' if they ain't in town to appear ag'in' you by night I'm goin' to turn you loose--an' be damned to them!" It seemed to Lawler that only an hour or so had elapsed when the key grated in the lock of the door and Moreton stuck his head in.

His face lacked expression.
"Someone to see you, Lawler," he grunted, gruffly.

"Wants to talk to you alone.

I'll be right outside, so's you can call me when you've got enough of it." He pushed the door open, and Della Wharton stepped in.
Moreton closed the door, and Della stood watching Lawler steadily.
Lawler had been standing near one of the rear windows, and when he recognized his visitor he came forward and stood within three or four paces of her.
"Well, Miss Wharton ?" he said, quietly.
"I heard you were here, Lawler," she said, evenly, her voice expressionless.
