He faltered a bit before he asked: "Did Blakely seem all right? not used up, I mean?" "Seemed weak and tired, but the man is mad to go and join his troop now wants to go right out with Ahorah in the morning, and Captain Cutler says no. Oh, they had quite a row!" They had had rather more than quite a row, if truth were told. Doty had heard only a bit of it.
He's had a sharp fight up the mountains beyond Snow Lake. Three men wounded. You couldn't have gone a mile before Blakely led 'em across No. 4's post. Ahorah and another chap 'Patchie-Mohaves. We clicked the news up to Prescott over an hour ago." The tin reflector at the office window threw the light of the glass-framed candle straight upon Hart's rubicund face, and that face was a study.
Ahorah and his swarthy partner were already gone, "started even before six," said the acting sergeant major, and Blakely was fuming with impatience and sense of something much amiss. Doty was obviously dodging him, there could be no doubt of that, for the youngster was between two fires, the post commander's positive orders on one hand and Blakely's urgent pleadings on the other.
"Captain Cutler," said he, "I can fit myself out at the troop quarters with everything I need for the field, at least, and wire to San Francisco for what I shall need when we return. I shall be ready to go with Ahorah at six." There was a moment of silence. Embarrassment showed plainly in almost every face. When Cutler spoke it was with obvious effort.
