THRESHING-TIME Injun was a being who ran more to feelings, or instincts, than to reasons, and like many persons of that kind his instincts often ran truer to form than the reasons of others.

While Dorgan was not a likable man, he was not one whom everybody would distrust; he did not have the word "villain" printed on his face.

Yet Injun thought he was one, and if asked for his reasons probably could not have told them.
You know that Injun suspected Dorgan of taking Whitey's pony, and now Whitey learned for the first time that Injun had seen Dorgan stealing away from the sheep ranch on the night of the war.

Whitey wondered why Injun had not told him this before, but it was not Injun's way to tell everything he knew, even to Whitey.

That was one of Injun's charms.
No one ever had suspected Dorgan of being a sheepman.
