Chapter VI
“Well, by gad!” exclaimed the colonel, realizing suddenly what sort of a lad he had to deal with in Matt King. “What’s that for, pard?” inquired McGlory. “It don’t belong to you, or to McGlory, or to any one but me!” said Levitt. “If you try to keep that document, King, you’re nothing more nor less than a thief.” The red ran into Matt’s face.
