Chapter XXXIII
"There is a man who seems to have begun to haunt my pathway," Baird said to Tom; "or perhaps it is Latimer's pathway, for it is when Latimer is with me that I meet him. He is small and sharp-featured and unwholesome." "It sounds like Stamps," laughed big Tom. He related the story of Stamps and his herds. The herds had not gained the congressional ear as Mr. Stamps had hoped.
