Mrs
.
Dyke
would
not
take
with
her
a
stick
of
furniture
nor
a
single
ornament
.
It
would
only
serve
to
remind
her
of
a
vanished
happiness
.
She
packed
a
few
clothes
of
her
own
and
Sidney
’
s
in
a
little
trunk
,
Hilma
helping
her
,
and
Annixter
stowed
the
trunk
under
the
carry
-
all
’
s
back
seat
.
Mrs
.
Dyke
turned
the
key
in
the
door
of
the
house
and
Annixter
helped
her
to
her
seat
beside
his
wife
.
They
drove
through
the
sear
,
brown
hop
vines
.
At
the
angle
of
the
road
Mrs
.
Dyke
turned
around
and
looked
back
at
the
ruin
of
the
hop
ranch
,
the
roof
of
the
house
just
showing
above
the
trees
.
She
never
saw
it
again
.
As
soon
as
Annixter
and
Hilma
were
alone
,
after
their
return
to
Quien
Sabe
—
Mrs
.
Dyke
and
Sidney
having
been
installed
in
the
Trees
’
old
house
—
Hilma
threw
her
arms
around
her
husband
’
s
neck
.
“
Fine
,
”
she
exclaimed
,
“
oh
,
it
was
fine
of
you
,
dear
to
think
of
them
and
to
be
so
good
to
them
.
My
husband
is
such
a
GOOD
man
.
So
unselfish
.
You
wouldn
’
t
have
thought
of
being
kind
to
Mrs
.
Dyke
and
Sidney
a
little
while
ago
.
You
wouldn
’
t
have
thought
of
them
at
all
.
But
you
did
now
,
and
it
’
s
just
because
you
love
me
true
,
isn
’
t
it
?
Isn
’
t
it
?
And
because
it
’
s
made
you
a
better
man
.
I
’
m
so
proud
and
glad
to
think
it
’
s
so
.
It
is
so
,
isn
’
t
it
?
Just
because
you
love
me
true
.
”
“
You
bet
it
is
,
Hilma
,
”
he
told
her
.
As
Hilma
and
Annixter
were
sitting
down
to
the
supper
which
they
found
waiting
for
them
,
Louisa
Vacca
came
to
the
door
of
the
dining
-
room
to
say
that
Harran
Derrick
had
telephoned
over
from
Los
Muertos
for
Annixter
,
and
had
left
word
for
him
to
ring
up
Los
Muertos
as
soon
as
he
came
in
.
“
He
said
it
was
important
,
”
added
Louisa
Vacca
.
“
Maybe
they
have
news
from
Washington
,
”
suggested
Hilma
.
Annixter
would
not
wait
to
have
supper
,
but
telephoned
to
Los
Muertos
at
once
.
Magnus
answered
the
call
.
There
was
a
special
meeting
of
the
Executive
Committee
of
the
League
summoned
for
the
next
day
,
he
told
Annixter
.
It
was
for
the
purpose
of
considering
the
new
grain
tariff
prepared
by
the
Railroad
Commissioners
.
Lyman
had
written
that
the
schedule
of
this
tariff
had
just
been
issued
,
that
he
had
not
been
able
to
construct
it
precisely
according
to
the
wheat
-
growers
’
wishes
,
and
that
he
,
himself
,
would
come
down
to
Los
Muertos
and
explain
its
apparent
discrepancies
.
Magnus
said
Lyman
would
be
present
at
the
session
.
Annixter
,
curious
for
details
,
forbore
,
nevertheless
,
to
question
.
The
connection
from
Los
Muertos
to
Quien
Sabe
was
made
through
Bonneville
,
and
in
those
troublesome
times
no
one
could
be
trusted
.
It
could
not
be
known
who
would
overhear
conversations
carried
on
over
the
lines
.
He
assured
Magnus
that
he
would
be
on
hand
.
The
time
for
the
Committee
meeting
had
been
set
for
seven
o
’
clock
in
the
evening
,
in
order
to
accommodate
Lyman
,
who
wrote
that
he
would
be
down
on
the
evening
train
,
but
would
be
compelled
,
by
pressure
of
business
,
to
return
to
the
city
early
the
next
morning
.
