Chapter XIII
Joe McGlory was kneeling beside the road, tying a handkerchief bandage around the forehead of Levitt. The latter was sprawled out limply on the ground, his clothing torn and disarranged. “What’s the matter, Joe?” asked Matt. The cowboy’s face was pale, and the set lines of it indicated that he was himself in pain. “That’s you, is it, pard?” he asked huskily.
