His temple appeared half shot away, a bloody and horrible sight. "Pards, I got him!" he said, in strange, half-strangled whisper. "I got him!... Hell-Bent Wade! My respects! I'll meet you thar!" His reeling motion brought his gaze in line with Belllounds. The violence of his start sent drops of blood flying from his gory temple. "Ahuh! The cards run my way. Belllounds, hyar's to your lyin' eyes!"
"Belllounds, there's no sense in it, but a lot of truth," confessed Wade, gloomily. "Ahuh!... Wal, Hell-Bent Wade, I'll take a chance on you," boomed the rancher's deep voice, rich with the intent of his big heart. "I've gambled all my life. An' the best friends I ever made were men I'd helped.... What wages do you ask?" "I'll take what you offer."
"An' Isbel was always sort of' mysterious aboot his acquaintance with you." "My name's not Blue." "Ahuh! Wal, what is it, then if I'm safe to ask?" returned Blaisdell, gruffly. "It's King Fisher," replied Blue. The shock that stiffened Blaisdell must have been communicated to the others.
"Why certainly!" answered Columbine, with a slow break in her speech. "You didn't go to meet Wilson Moore?" "No." "An' I reckon you'll say you hadn't heerd he was there?" "I had not," flashed Columbine. "Wal, did you see him?" "Yes, sir, I did, but quite by accident." "Ahuh! Columbine, are you lyin' to me?" The hot blood flooded to Columbine's cheeks, as if she had been struck a blow.
"Such prophecies! They they " She could not conclude. "Ahuh! I know. The strange fact is, lass, that they all come true. I wish I had all happy ones, instead of them black, croakin' ones that come like ravens.... Well, you're better to-day?" "Yes. Oh yes. Ben, what have you got for me?" "You're in an awful hurry.
Therefore, when he looked out of the door to see Columbine swiftly riding up the trail, her fair hair flying and shining in the sunlight, he merely ejaculated, "Ahuh!" "What's that?" queried Moore, sharp to catch the inflection. "Look out," replied Wade, as he began to fill his pipe. "Heavens! It's Collie! Look at her riding! Uphill, too!" Wade followed him outdoors.
"Have you seen any of the girls?" asked Blair. "I met Mel Iden," replied Lane. "You did? What did she " "Mel told me what explained some of your hints." "Ahuh! Poor Mel! How'd she look?" "Greatly changed," replied Lane, thoughtfully. "How do you remember Mel?" "Well, she was pretty soulful face wonderful smile that sort of thing." "She's beautiful now, and sad." "I shouldn't wonder.
You needn't drop everythin' an' grab me like thet. An' you're white as a sheet, too. It ain't nuthin' much fer a cowboy to hev a hoss fall on him." "Lem Billings, I'll hate you if you don't tell me quick," flashed Columbine, fiercely. "Ahuh! So thet's how the land lays," replied Lem, shrewdly. "Wal, I'm sorry to tell you thet Wils was bad hurt.
Rain an' sun!... But all this you tell, an' the hell you hint at, ain't changin' this hyar deal of Jack's an' Collie's. Not one jot!... If she remains my adopted daughter she marries my son.... Wade, I'm haltered like the north star in that." "Belllounds, will you take a day to think it over?" appealed Wade. "Ahuh! But that won't change me."
She wet her handkerchief and bathed her hot face. It was indeed very comfortable there after that long hot ride. "Miss Lenore, I seen thet Nash pawin' you," said the cowboy, "an' by Gosh! I couldn't believe my eyes!" "Not so loud! Jake, the young gentleman imagines I'm in love with him," replied Lenore. "Wall, I'll remove his imagining'," declared Jake, coolly. "Jake, you will do nothing." "Ahuh!
