What
with
the
noise
of
their
talk
and
laughter
,
it
was
some
time
before
Dyke
,
first
of
all
,
heard
a
persistent
knocking
on
the
bolted
door
.
He
called
Annixter
’
s
attention
to
the
sound
.
Cursing
the
intruder
,
Annixter
unbolted
and
opened
the
door
.
But
at
once
his
manner
changed
.
“
Hello
.
It
’
s
Presley
.
Come
in
,
come
in
,
Pres
.
”
There
was
a
shout
of
welcome
from
the
others
.
A
spirit
of
effusive
cordiality
had
begun
to
dominate
the
gathering
.
Annixter
caught
sight
of
Vanamee
back
of
Presley
,
and
waiving
for
the
moment
the
distinction
of
employer
and
employee
,
insisted
that
both
the
friends
should
come
in
.
“
Any
friend
of
Pres
is
my
friend
,
”
he
declared
.
But
when
the
two
had
entered
and
had
exchanged
greetings
,
Presley
drew
Annixter
aside
.
“
Vanamee
and
I
have
just
come
from
Bonneville
,
”
he
explained
.
“
We
saw
Delaney
there
.
He
’
s
got
the
buckskin
,
and
he
’
s
full
of
bad
whiskey
and
dago
-
red
.
You
should
see
him
;
he
’
s
wearing
all
his
cow
-
punching
outfit
,
hair
trousers
,
sombrero
,
spurs
and
all
the
rest
of
it
,
and
he
has
strapped
himself
to
a
big
revolver
.
He
says
he
wasn
’
t
invited
to
your
barn
dance
but
that
he
’
s
coming
over
to
shoot
up
the
place
.
He
says
you
promised
to
show
him
off
Quien
Sabe
at
the
toe
of
your
boot
and
that
he
’
s
going
to
give
you
the
chance
to
-
night
!
”
“
Ah
,
”
commented
Annixter
,
nodding
his
head
,
“
he
is
,
is
he
?
”
Presley
was
disappointed
.
Knowing
Annixter
’
s
irascibility
,
he
had
expected
to
produce
a
more
dramatic
effect
.
He
began
to
explain
the
danger
of
the
business
.
Delaney
had
once
knifed
a
greaser
in
the
Panamint
country
.
He
was
known
as
a
“
bad
”
man
.
But
Annixter
refused
to
be
drawn
.
“
All
right
,
”
he
said
,
“
that
’
s
all
right
.
Don
’
t
tell
anybody
else
.
You
might
scare
the
girls
off
.
Get
in
and
drink
.
”
