Chapter IV
Len Ayres went across the street to the Oasis Saloon from where he watched Amos Baggs take Nan to the hotel. When the lawyer went back to his office, Len crossed the street and sauntered up there. He found Baggs at his desk, filling his pipe, but the former prosecuting attorney seemed to lose interest in his pipe when he looked up and saw Len. Len eyed him close for several moments. “Thought I’d drop in and renew old acquaintance, Amos,” he said slowly.
