More fussed than ever, he drew back and bent low in apology, while she passed on. Half a block away, a young man rounded a corner and, seeing her, hastened to foln her. She extended her hand; they chatted a moment, then strolled up -the street together. Fairchild watched blankly, then turned at a chuckle just behind him emanating from the bearded lips of an old miner, loafing on the stone coping in front of .a-small store. “Pick the wrong filly, pardner?" came the query.
