left it with me for safe keeping. I'm going to let you look at
it--just in case he's too proud to let it out of his hands once I give
it back.

"Now, of course, I'm talking like an old woman and telling all Casey's
secrets--and you'll probably see a real Irish fight when he gets in
reach of me. But I knew he hadn't told you exactly what he's doing,
and--I personally feel that his wife and his best friend are entitled
to know as much as his partner knows about him."

The Little Woman nodded absently her thanks. She was holding Casey's
commission under the dash-light to read it.

I saw Casey gulp once or twice while he stared across the car at Mack
Nolan. He pushed his dusty, black hat forward over one eyebrow and
reached into his pocket.

"Aw, hell," he grunted, grinning queerly. "You come around here oncet,
Mr. Nolan, where I can git my hands on yuh!"
