"About the money," went on Harding quickly. "Well, you'd best tell Mr. Morton; and the bank can have it all right. And we'll go back to the run, Gray, until Polly and the lads come. Thank God, she had started before a letter could reach her. She will have been spared this time of suspense."
"Morton won't have me back," said Gray under his breath.
"Yes, he will. It's the best thing you can do, lad. If you go off by yourself—"
"If you will have me—if Morton will let me, it is what I most desire," said Gray brokenly.
"Then, that's all right," Harding said.
