"Old Cragg and Jim Bennett?"
"Yes; and perhaps others."
"M-m-m," mumbled O'Gorman, "you've a lot to learn yet, Josie. You're quick; you're persevering; you're courageous. But you lack judgment."
"Do you mean that you doubt my evidence?" she asked indignantly.
"I do."
"I've the counterfeit bill here in my pocket, which Cragg tried to pass on the storekeeper," she said.
"Let me see it."
Josie searched and found the bill. O'Gorman flashed a circle of light on it and studied it attentively.
"Here," he said, passing it back to her. "Don't lose it, Josie. It's worth ten dollars."
