Chapter X
HANK LEE’S INFORMATION For a moment the news came as such a shock to Dan and Mr. Savage that they did not know what to say. Robberies in the country are few and far between, consequently they create more excitement than they do in the city. “Dr. Maxwell’s house robbed!” repeated Mr. Savage. “Yep,” replied Silas Martin, the hired man, who also drove the physician on his sick calls. Silas pulled up his horse.
