This was said doubtingly, or as one who lays down an uncertain proposition, and not with a taunt, or a desire to alarm. "No one knows what will happen but God. Our lives are in His hands. Still, I think you are to be His instrument in saving us." This passed June's comprehension, and she only looked her ignorance; for it was evident she wished to be of use.
To be sure, He is King always; but to-day everything is His." "Miss Daisy, you won't be dressed." Daisy drew her head in from the window, and sat down to submit it to June's brush; but she went on talking. "What part of the Bible do you like best to read, June." "Miss Daisy, will you wear your white muslin to-day or the one with blue spots?" "White.
"I ain't heard him raise any objections to yore goin'," Houck taunted. "Tolliver said for me to bring you, an' I'll do it." June spoke to Bob, her voice trembling. "Tell him where to get off at," she begged. "Mr. Houck, June's my wife. She's made her choice. That ends it," Bob said unsteadily. The cold, cruel eyes of the ex-rustler gripped those of Dillon and held them. "End it, does it? Listen.
The hotel representative fell in with the idea with great warmth. There was a large tent on the corner, just off Main Street, which the company could rent, said he. A partition would be put in it for the privacy of the ladies, and the hotel would supply the guests with a stove and utensils. June's mother liked the notion.
She bent and kissed her niece hungrily, and with little, mincing steps passed away. The tears sprang up in June's eyes; running into the little study, where Bosinney was sitting at the table drawing birds on the back of an envelope, she sank down by his side and cried: "Oh, Phil! it's all so horrid!" Her heart was as warm as the colour of her hair.
"Miss Daisy, you won't be dressed." Daisy drew her head in from the window and sat down to submit it to June's brush; but she went on talking. "What part of the Bible do you like best to read, June?" "Miss Daisy, will you wear your white muslin, to-day or the one with blue spots?" "White. But tell me, June which part of the Bible do you like best?"

"Irene is proud," he said, with a sidelong glance, in sudden doubt of June's discretion; "she's difficult to help. We must tread gently. This is the place. I wired her to expect us. Let's send up our cards." "I can't bear Soames," said June as she got out; "he sneers at everything that isn't successful." Irene was in what was called the 'Ladies' drawing-room' of the Piedmont Hotel.
For Dave had to keep his heart-burnings to himself or he would have been laughed at through all the mountains, and not only by his own family, but by June's; so he, too, bided his time. In late February, old Buck Falin and old Dave Tolliver shot each other down in the road and the Red Fox, who hated both and whom each thought was his friend, dressed the wounds of both with equal care.
