Excerpt from The Sheriff of Dyke Hole: A Story of a Montana Mining Camp "Well, I'm -!" Dick Roydon settled himself again in his chair, and gathering up the sheets of a letter he had just been reading began it all over again. The smoking-room was very quiet and empty, for it was one of those bright, fresh afternoons in early spring which London, the much malinged, can afford us when it is so minded. Thus the "Junior Idlers" had, for the most part, been lured from their luxurious quarters in Pall Mall, to investigate the meaning of their city's unwonted good nature. Jack Saunders smilingly watched his companion as he frowned over his letter for the second time. But the letter was too long, or Roydon was too slow in the reading of it, for, wearying of the silence, he beckoned a waiter over to him. "Bring me a 'Polly, '" he said, as the man came up. "Dick?" "A stiff brandy and soda," was the curt response. Jack whistled softly as the waiter departed. "What's up, old boy?" he demanded in some amusement "Nothing wrong, I hope?" Roydon dropped the letter in his lap and looked up unsmilingly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
