"Yes, I am. Kid Rickard didn't do it."
Norton eased himself in the saddle, thoughtfully regarding Galloway. And then, very abruptly:
"How about your friend, del Rio?"
It was the third time that he had mentioned del Rio's name in this connection and to the third man. And now, but slightly different in degree only, he saw the same look in Galloway's eyes which he had brought into Cutter's and Kemble's.
"Del Rio?" repeated Galloway frowningly. "What makes you say that?"
"I'll collect your five hundred later," was Norton's laughing response. Swerving out a little as he passed, he rode on.
