"I like him," exclaimed the girl, turning toward Bridge.

"So do I," said in reply the man.

"There must be some good in him," she continued,"even if he is such a desperate character; but I knowhe's not The 0skaloosa Kid. Do you really suppose herobbed a house last evening and then tried to kill thatDopey person?"

Bridge shook his head. "I don't know," he exclaimed; "butI am inclined to believe that he is more imaginativethan criminal. He certainly shot up the Dopey person;but I doubt if he ever robbed a home."
