All that day the trainer stayed close
to his charge, never allowing him out

shoulders.
"But I want to be alone—with her.
Can’t you see?”
“I can, but I won’t. Go as far as
you like. I’ll close my eyes.”
“Or I’ll close them for you!” The

mirthlessly.

“You can see her, but I want to

“You’re an Idiot! This whole affair
Is preposterous—ridiculous.”
“And yet It don’t make us laugh,

“If these cowboys make me run

Speed lighted a cigarette and In

snatched It. “Give me that cigarette!”
‘T’ve had enough of this foolish

"I wish I was."
"You are!”
"Not!"
“I say you are fired!” Glass stared

Speed sat up with a groan. "If I
