CHAPTER I: THE REACHING OF A DECISION

For the second time that night Frederick Cavendish, sitting at a small
table in a busy cafe where the night life of the city streamed
continually in and out, regarded the telegram spread out upon the white
napery. It read:

Bear Creek, Colorado, 4/2/15.

FREDERICK CAVENDISH,
