"Well, that's not a bad sign, Mr. Innes," said Sandy Bayne, "and I'm not
sure that I don't like him myself. But I guess he butts in, all right."
"Oh, ay! he butts in," agreed Innes, "but I'm no so sure that that's no

CHAPTER III
A QUESTION OF CONSCIENCE

The Dunbars lived in a cottage on a back street, which had the
distinction of being the only home on the street which possessed the
adornment of a garden. A unique garden it was, too. Indeed, with the
single exception of Judge Hepburn's garden, which was quite an elaborate
affair, and which was said to have cost the Judge a "pile of money,"
there was none to compare with it in the village of Wapiti.
Any garden on that bare, wind-swept prairie meant toil and infinite
pains, but a garden like that of the Dunbars represented in addition
something of genius. In conception, in design, and in execution the
Dunbars' garden was something apart. Visitors were taken 'round to the
back street to get a glimpse of the Dunbars' cottage and garden.
