A tiny frown knitted her brow. She did not, at the moment, entirely approve of him. "Shore am glad to see you, Flo," he said, with rather a heavy expulsion of breath. He wore a cheerful grin that in no wise deceived Flo, or Carley either. The young man had a furtive expression of eye. "Ahuh!" returned Flo. "I was shore sorry about about that " he floundered, in low voice. "About what?"
Meanwhile he must meet the exigencies here in Marco. "Wal, what's next on the ticket?" queried Blinky, who appeared to be rather jerky this morning. "I'm going downtown," replied Pan. "Ahuh! I want to trail along with you." "No, I'll go alone. I'll make my bluff strong, Blinky, or draw Matthews out. Honest, I don't think he'll show." "Thet yellow dawg? He won't face you, Pan.
The cowboy's face showed the red marks of battle and the white of passion. "I'm not going to lie, you can bet on that," he declared, forcefully. "Ahuh! I might hev knowed you an' Jack'd clash," said Belllounds, gruffly. "What happened?" "He hurt my horse. If it hadn't been for that there'd been no trouble." A light leaped up in the old man's bold eyes. He was a lover of horses.
Columbine hated to sit by and watch it, but she always stuck to her post, when opportunity afforded, because she knew the cowboys would not be brutal while she was there. "Wal, he'll step high to-morrer," said Lem, as he got up from his seat on the head of Whang. "Ahuh! An', like a mule, he'll be my friend fer twenty years jest to get a chance to kick me." replied Jim.
"Listen!" he said, tersely, and bent his head a little to one side, ear to the slight breeze. They all listened. Ellen heard the beating of her heart, the rustle of leaves, the tapping of a woodpecker, and faint, remote sounds that she could not name. "Deer, I reckon," spoke up Somers. "Ahuh! Wal, I reckon they ain't trailin' us yet," replied Colter. "We gave them a shade better 'n they sent us."
He's a pretty keen boy an' his father has big ranchin' interests. I've saved a little money an' I'm no spring chicken any more. Wils has begun to buy an' sell stock, so I reckon I'll go in with him." "Ahuh!" Belllounds gave a grunt of comprehension. He frowned, and his big eyes set seriously upon the blazing fire. He grasped complications in this information.
He stared at her. "Why, you and me." "Oh!" His tone softened, but there was still disapproval in his glance. "What of that?" "Something has happened to make me think I've missed you lately that's all." "Ahuh!" His tone held finality and bitterness, but he would not commit himself. Columbine sensed a pride in him that seemed the cause of his aloofness.
But the fact I mean makes her stand out in this Middleville crowd like a light in the dark.... Lane, have you got on yet to the speed of the young people of this old burg?" "I'm getting on, to my sorrow," said Lane. "Ahuh! You mean you're getting wise to your kid sister?" "Yes, I'm sorry to say. What do you know, Pepper?" "Now, son, wait. I'm coming to that, maybe.
"Wal, lass, thet might be a good idee," replied the rancher, nodding his grizzled head. "Say, you're sort of wantin' me to keep Wils on." "Yes, dad." "Why? Do you like him so much?" "I like him of course. He has been almost a brother to me." "Ahuh! Wal, are you sure you don't like him more'n you ought considerin' what's in the wind?"
"What I give him was for somebody else, an' was sure little enough. He's got the grudge against me." "Ahuh! Wal, then, don't you go huntin' fer trouble. Try an' make White Slides one place thet'll disprove your name. All the same, don't shy at sight of anythin' suspicious round the ranch." The old man plodded thoughtfully away, leaving the hunter likewise in a brown study.
