The double dagger or, Nat Ridley's Mexican trail
They were soon on their way north in a train, for the girl decided
that she had had enough of Mexico. Certain trusted agents were left in
charge of the oil-well property.
"And when will you send in your bill?" asked Cora presently.
"What bill?" came from Nat, wonderingly.
"The bill for your services," said the girl. "I want to pay my share,
and I know, my cousins' widows will also. How much do we owe you?"
"Nothing at all," was the prompt answer. "What I did was done to rid
the country of a desperate gang and to avenge my friend Dan Steele.
It wasn't a question of money. I don't want a reward. Dan Steele is
avenged!"
"Good and plenty!" echoed Baldy Stoler.
And then Nat Ridley settled back in his seat for a well-deserved rest.
