Chapter X
Matt was so bewildered on account of McGlory’s actions that he offered little resistance to Kelly and Levitt. Anyhow, the manila envelope had been taken from him, and Levitt--as Matt reasoned--had nothing to gain by the capture. “Here’s the rope, Kelly,” said the mining engineer, coming close. “Better put it on him.” “You don’t have to tie me,” protested Matt.
