The Trail Horde

CHAPTER X
8/16

If I have the foresight to contract for cars in time to get them for shipment, that is my business.

And if I offer you--or any man--a price, and it doesn't suit you, you don't have to accept it." He saw a glint of humor in Lawler's eyes--a sign that the man's passions were not to be permitted to break the leash in which he held them--and he grew bolder, his voice taking on a vindictive note.

As long as I am resident buyer at Willets you'll never ship a hoof through me.

Understand that! You can drive to Red Rock and be damned! If you'd been halfway decent about this thing; if you hadn't come swaggering into my office trying to dictate to me, and calling me a liar, I'd have kept Lefingwell's agreement with you!" "Then Lefingwell wasn't the liar," smiled Lawler; "you're admitting it." Warden's face grew poisonously malevolent.

He laughed, hoarsely.
