But the hours that had followed since Enid had embarked upon her daring adventure had reconciled her to the fate that had carried her brother into the ranks of the lawless where today he ruled as the Big Shot. As she listened to the man who denied kinship relate the circum- stances under which he had em- barked upon a criminal career, Enid found new hope.
