"Why have you any great cares to worry you now?" she asked. "All your great business projects are coming out right, and the man who could make you trouble has paid the penalty of his villainy. He'll never interfere with you again."
"That's right. With him out of the way, his railroad plan and mining and development company will never mature."
"I see no reason why you should hurry back to Mexico now. Can't you remain in the East longer?"
"I'll know better about that after consulting with Watson Scott. If possible to linger, I'll be in no hurry to go."
They swept past a solitary man who stood watching the dancers. His mask was the head of a wolf. Through the twin holes of the mask his eyes gleamed strangely as they followed Merry and Inza.
Another wolf approached and touched the first on the shoulder.
"Have you found him yet?"
"Look!" exclaimed the first. "See the girl in flowing white?"
"With the Indian?"
"No; with the cowboy."
