Chapter VI
In a moment he saw what such a move would mean to him--to Kruger and the Eagle Tail--and he woke suddenly from his calm. "Here now," he said, scowling as he saw that she was laughing at him, "you've made me and Phil enough trouble. You let that boy alone, savvy?" He stooped toward her as he spoke, fixing her with masterful eyes that had tamed many a bad horse and man, and she shrank away instinctively. Then she glanced at him shyly and edged over toward the open door.
