But I ain't none shore he does. Looks like it was a even break to me the word of you and Luke against his and Swing's. And what's fairer than that I'd like to know?" "Alicran!" squalled Lanpher. "I'm telling you to " "Yo're all worked up, that's whatsa matter," Alicran assured him. "You don't mean more'n half you say.
At any rate, he did not pursue further the subject of the 88 cowboys cast as an eviction gang. "I'll talk to you later, Alicran," said he in a tone he strove to make grimly menacing, but which actually imposed upon no one, least of all the truculent Alicran. "We won't need yore boys, Lanpher," said Racey. "The sheriff will attend to it."
Paul was therefore compelled to enter upon his torpedo work, terribly handicapped by the poor equipment of the Peruvians; but determined to make the best use of the means at hand. The little sloop was called the Alicran. She was quickly provisioned and a crew shipped. Before embarking on her, Don Nicholas sent for Boyton and commissioned him as Captain in the Peruvian Navy.
"And if I were you I'd walk a heap careful between the rows. I just wouldn't go a-busting any more of these posies." Lanpher went. He went carefully. He was followed quite as carefully by Racey Dawson. When Lanpher was free of the neat rows he looked up venomously into the face of Alicran Skeel who had meticulously ridden round the garden.
"He tried to kill me, I tell you!" Lanpher gritted through his teeth. "He didn't gimme a chance!" "Any of you boys see it?" repeated Alicran, paying no attention to Lanpher. "How could we?" asked Rod Rockwell, glancing up from the bandaging of Lanpher's arm. "We was all in the bunkhouse."
"Alicran," said Racey, holding his alert attitude, "the first false move you make Lanpher gets it." "I ain't makin' a move," said Alicran, thumbs hooked in the armholes of his vest. "I got plenty to do minding my own business." "Huh?" Thus the sceptical Racey, who did not trust Mr. Skeel as far as he could throw a horse by the tail.
I like it so well that if you was to fire me I dunno what I wouldn't do. You know, Lanpher, a man is a whole lot bigger target than the branch of a wild currant bush." Frankly speculative, the eyes of Alicran travelled up and down the spare frame of the 88 manager. Which gave Lanpher furiously to think, as it were. "Why," said he, forcing a smile, "I guess we understand each other, Alicran."
But only in the regular course of business, Luke. I'm mighty busy just now. Yore eviction notice will have to take its turn." "My punchers will throw 'em out then," averred Lanpher. "They ain't nary a one of 'em would gorm up their paws on a job like that for you, Lanpher," Alicran stated in no uncertain tones. "If you got any dirty work to do you'll do it yoreself."
