“
Well
,
I
can
easily
suppose
it
,
”
answered
Cedarquist
gravely
,
“
after
all
you
have
been
through
.
”
Presley
closed
his
eyes
—
they
were
sunken
in
circles
of
dark
brown
flesh
—
and
pressed
a
thin
hand
to
the
back
of
his
head
.
“
It
is
a
nightmare
,
”
he
murmured
.
“
A
frightful
nightmare
,
and
it
’
s
not
over
yet
.
You
have
heard
of
it
all
only
through
the
newspaper
reports
.
But
down
there
,
at
Bonneville
,
at
Los
Muertos
—
oh
,
you
can
have
no
idea
of
it
,
of
the
misery
caused
by
the
defeat
of
the
ranchers
and
by
this
decision
of
the
Supreme
Court
that
dispossesses
them
all
.
We
had
gone
on
hoping
to
the
last
that
we
would
win
there
.
We
had
thought
that
in
the
Supreme
Court
of
the
United
States
,
at
least
,
we
could
find
justice
.
And
the
news
of
its
decision
was
the
worst
,
last
blow
of
all
.
For
Magnus
it
was
the
last
—
positively
the
very
last
.
”
“
Poor
,
poor
Derrick
,
”
murmured
Cedarquist
.
“
Tell
me
about
him
,
Pres
.
How
does
he
take
it
?
What
is
he
going
to
do
?
”
“
It
beggars
him
,
sir
.
He
sunk
a
great
deal
more
than
any
of
us
believed
in
his
ranch
,
when
he
resolved
to
turn
off
most
of
the
tenants
and
farm
the
ranch
himself
.
Then
the
fight
he
made
against
the
Railroad
in
the
Courts
and
the
political
campaign
he
went
into
,
to
get
Lyman
on
the
Railroad
Commission
,
took
more
of
it
.
The
money
that
Genslinger
blackmailed
him
of
,
it
seems
,
was
about
all
he
had
left
.
He
had
been
gambling
—
you
know
the
Governor
—
on
another
bonanza
crop
this
year
to
recoup
him
.
Well
,
the
bonanza
came
right
enough
—
just
in
time
for
S
.
Behrman
and
the
Railroad
to
grab
it
.
Magnus
is
ruined
.
”
“
What
a
tragedy
!
what
a
tragedy
!
”
murmured
the
other
.
“
Lyman
turning
rascal
,
Harran
killed
,
and
now
this
;
and
all
within
so
short
a
time
—
all
at
the
SAME
time
,
you
might
almost
say
.
”
“
If
it
had
only
killed
him
,
”
continued
Presley
;
“
but
that
is
the
worst
of
it
.
”
“
How
the
worst
?
”
“
I
’
m
afraid
,
honestly
,
I
’
m
afraid
it
is
going
to
turn
his
wits
,
sir
.
