A
car
had
stopped
at
the
end
of
a
dirt
road
below
,
and
two
men
were
hurrying
up
the
trail
.
She
could
not
distinguish
their
faces
;
one
of
them
was
slender
and
tall
,
the
other
shorter
,
more
muscular
.
She
lost
sight
of
them
behind
the
twists
of
the
trail
,
as
he
went
on
carrying
her
down
to
meet
them
.
She
met
them
when
they
emerged
suddenly
from
behind
a
rocky
corner
a
few
feet
away
.
The
sight
of
their
faces
hit
her
with
the
abruptness
of
a
collision
.
"
Well
,
I
ll
be
goddamned
!
"
said
the
muscular
man
,
whom
she
did
not
know
,
staring
at
her
.

She
was
staring
at
the
tall
,
distinguished
figure
of
his
companion
:
it
was
Hugh
Akston
.
It
was
Hugh
Akston
who
spoke
first
,
bowing
to
her
with
a
courteous
smile
of
welcome
.
"
Miss
Taggart
,
this
is
the
first
time
anyone
has
ever
proved
me
wrong
,
I
didn
t
know
when
I
told
you
you
d
never
find
him
that
the
next
time
I
saw
you
,
you
would
be
in
his
arms
.
"
"
In
whose
arms
?
"
"
Why
,
the
inventor
of
the
motor
.

She
gasped
,
closing
her
eyes
;
this
was
one
connection
she
knew
she
should
have
made
.
When
she
opened
her
eyes
,
she
was
looking
at
Galt
.
He
was
smiling
,
faintly
,
derisively
,
as
if
he
knew
fully
what
this
meant
to
her
.
"
It
would
have
served
you
right
if
you
d
broken
your
neck
!
"
the
muscular
man
snapped
at
her
,
with
the
anger
of
concern
,
almost
of
affection
.
"
What
a
stunt
to
pull
for
a
person
who
d
have
been
admitted
here
so
eagerly
,
if
she
d
chosen
to
come
through
the
front
door
!
"
"
Miss
Taggart
,
may
I
present
Midas
Mulligan
?
"
said
Galt
.
