As he is facing door, another man sees and
recognizes him. This man is not armed, and he merely shakes
fist at Steve behind the outlaw's back, then passes out of
picture. Dr. Turner comes to door, and falls back astounded
as he recognizes "Aravaipa Steve." "You! What do _you_ want
here?" Then he sees the wounded arm, and points to it. Steve
shakes head emphatically and proceeds to tell what has
happened at the ranch. As he finishes, the doctor looks him
over from head to foot, then holds out his hand, which the
outlaw grasps silently. Dr. Turner beckons him into the
house; but just as Steve is about to follow the doctor in,
the man who saw him knock on the door returns with a party
of ten or a dozen citizens and cowboys. Half a dozen point
guns at Steve and he throws up his right hand in obedience
to their command, indicating that his left is injured. The
doctor tries to explain, but they wave him back. Steve turns
to doctor and tells him to hurry and get the medicine off to
the sick child. Doctor nods. Believing that the outlaw will
be taken to the sheriff, he goes in to prepare the medicine.
Steve is led away by the crowd.
