Senator KNOX. I do not regard it as material. It was not accepted? Mr. BULLITT. It was not accepted. What happened in regard to this was that Mr. Auchincloss and Mr.
It wasn't so big or so well stocked when Al Auchincloss beat me out of it. I reckon I'll allow for thet. I've papers, an' old Jose for witness. An' I calculate you'll pay me eighty thousand dollars, or else I'll take over the ranch." Beasley spoke in an ordinary, matter-of-fact tone that certainly seemed sincere, and his manner was blunt, but perfectly natural. "Mr.
"Dale, I've differences with Al Auchincloss have had them for years," said Beasley. "Much of what he owns is mine. An' it's goin' to come to me. Now I reckon people will be takin' sides some for me an' some for Al. Most are for me.... Where do you stand? Al Auchincloss never had no use for you, an' besides he's a dyin' man. Are you goin' on his side?" "Yes, I reckon I am."
He held out his arms to receive her. "Nell Auchincloss all over again!" he exclaimed, in deep voice, as he kissed her. "I'd have knowed you anywhere!" "Uncle Al!" murmured Helen. "I remember you though I was only four." "Wal, wal, that's fine," he replied. "I remember you straddled my knee once, an' your hair was brighter an' curly. It ain't neither now.... Sixteen years! An' you're twenty now?
"What wasn't sheeped over would be washed out. We've had luck. An' now I ain't worryin'," returned Dale. "Worryin'? Then it's the first I ever knowed you to do." "Man, I never had a job like this," protested the hunter. "Wal, thet's so." "Now, Roy, when old Al Auchincloss finds out about this deal, as he's bound to when you or the boys get back to Pine, he's goin' to roar."
"He he looks as if he might ride a horse well," ventured Bo. "Best hossman I ever seen," agreed Al, heartily. "And and shoot?" added Bo, hopefully. "Bo, he packs thet gun low, like Jim Wilson an' all them Texas gun-fighters. Reckon thet ain't no good word." "Then I'll vouch for him," said Bo, with finality. "Thet settles it." Auchincloss turned to the cowboy. "Las Vegas, you're a stranger to us.
"Thet might be wise," muttered Snake Anson. "Beasley, the weak point in your game is the uncertainty of life. Old Al is tough. He may fool you." "Auchincloss is a dyin' man," declared Beasley, with such positiveness that it could not be doubted. "Wal, he sure wasn't plumb hearty when I last seen him.... Beasley, in case I play your game how'm I to know that girl?"
"Explainin' will take time. An' facts may change your mind. But if you can't trust me " "Trust you!" interposed Helen, blankly. "You mean to take us to Snowdrop?" "I reckon we'd better go roundabout an' not hit Snowdrop," he replied, shortly. "Then to Pine to my uncle Al Auchincloss? "Yes, I'm goin' to try hard." Helen caught her breath. She divined that some peril menaced her.
Too bad about old Al," replied Dale. "Sure is. He's done for. An' I'm sorry though Al's never been square " "Beasley," interrupted Dale, quickly, "you can't say that to me. Al Auchincloss always was the whitest an' squarest man in this sheep country." Beasley gave Dale a fleeting, dark glance. "Dale, what you think ain't goin' to influence feelin' on this range," returned Beasley, deliberately.
Beasley turned away and took a step, and then, as if with an after-thought, he wheeled again. "Suppose you've heard about old Al Auchincloss bein' near petered out?" queried Beasley. A strong, ponderous cast of thought seemed to emanate from his features. Dale divined that Beasley's next step would be to further his advancement by some word or hint. "Widow Cass was tellin' me all the news.
