The orderly's voice was heard in reply.
“I ain't got no time to wait. I want to see yer Chief of Police right naow.”
Again the orderly's voice could be distinguished.
“In court, is he? Waal, you hurry up and tell him J. B. Cadwaller of Lone Pine, Montana, an American citizen, wants to see him right smart.”
The orderly came in and saluted.
“A man to see you, Sir,” he said. “An American.”
“What business?”
“Horse-stealing case, Sir.”
“Show him in!”
In a moment the orderly returned, followed by, not one, but three American citizens.
