CHAPTER X.
NEW ACQUAINTANCES Calumet had been in no hurry, though maintaining its steady chop-trot for most of the distance, Blackleg had set him down in Lazette in a little over two hours.
Something had happened to Calumet.

He had carefully considered the phenomenon all the way over from the Lazy Y; he considered it now as he sat sideways in the saddle before the rough board front of the Red Dog Saloon.

Betty had faith in him.

That was the phenomenon--the unheard of miracle.

No one else had ever had faith in him, and so it was a new experience and one that must be thoroughly pondered if he was to enjoy it.
