Then, when the chance came well, he surely thinks now that I put him away to cover my tracks. I expect the boys have got their shootin' orders." "Listen!" whispered Price excitedly. "Wait till I get my own horse, an' I'll strike east across the hump. That'll start 'em after me maybe sure it will, Rathburn! They'll think I'm you, see, an' light right out after me."
Fust thing you're stompin' around in your head upsettin' all that you writ tryin' to rope somethin' to put on the tail-end of the parade that'll show up strong. Kind o' like ropin' a steer. No tellin' where that pome is goin' to land you." Sundown was more than pleased with himself.
