Chapter 12 | LOVER VS. BROTHER Tha Big Shot paced up and down Enid’s room, his fists clenched, muttering savagely under his breath. As Enid watched, his face became hard set and there was something even tigerish in his ex- pression. How different from the Roy had known in thosc happy d: in Winnipeg. She had never known him to indulge in mad outbursts of passion but neither had she ever been conscious that he pos- gessed violent criminal tendencies. Surely this was her brother; why he denied it she could not surmise. What a cruel blow fate had dealt her to have her brother and the maf she loved arrayed against eacn other. She loved them both and was determined to stop, if she could, any act of revenge on Roy's part. she —he laughed shortly—‘on were crooks—they still are. You seen ’'em. I've been a crook all my life.
