But I sealed any chance of his moral aid when I made my bargain. It was my only chance." Slowly Ba'tiste nodded and slapped the reins on the back of the horse. "Ba'teese will not see Medaine," came at last, and they went on.
"But it shall not be, eh?" Houston's lips went into a line, "Not until the last dog dies!" "Ah, oui!" Evidently Ba'tiste liked the expression. "Eet shall not be until what-you-say the last dog, eet is dead. Come! We will go into the forest. Ba'tiste will show you things you should know."
We'll stop by the cottage down here and see Miss Jierdon; then I'm gone!" "She no there. She, what-you-say, smash up 'quaintance with Medaine. She ask to go there and stay day or two." "Then she'll straighten things out, Ba'tiste. I'm glad of it. She knows the truth about this whole thing every step of the way. Will you tell her?" "Oui.
The bass voice of the man referred to as Ba'tiste gave the answer, and Barry listened with interest. Evidently he had struggled to his feet at some time during the night though he could not remember it and striven to find his way down the mountain side in the darkness, for the story of Ba'tiste told Barry that he had found him just at dawn, a full five hundred yards from the machine.
"Then call up over there and tell the sheriff we want him. It has to do with the Renaud murder." The loafer sprang to the street and veered across, shouting the news as he went, while Ba'tiste made hurried arrangements regarding the silent form of the lonely cabin.
This will mean death to many of us here, the wiping out of a great timber and agricultural country, and a blot on the history of Colorado. Help us and we will not forget it." "Ah, oui!" Old Ba'tiste was addressing the rest of the crowd. "The newspapers, they can help, better than any one else. Eet is our chance. Bon good! Mon Baree, he have the big, what-you-say, sentiment." "Sounds good."
"Oh, Christ, have mercy on me, and bring me safe to my journey's end-in time," she said breathlessly; then she went softly to the door, leaving the dog behind. It opened, closed, and the night swallowed her. Like a ghost she sped the quick way to Askatoon. She was six hours behind Ba'tiste, and, going hard all the time, it was doubtful if she could get there before the fatal hour.
He grasped Ba'tiste in his lank arms, then turned beaming to the rest of the gaping crowd. "It's from the papers in Denver!" he shouted. "A joint message. They've taken up the fight!"
But beyond this there was danger in travelling by night, for the springs beneath the ice of the three lakes she must, cross made it weak and rotten even in the fiercest weather, and what would no doubt have been death to Ba'tiste would be peril at least to her. Why had she not gone with him? "He had in his face what was in Lucy's," she said to herself, as she sped on.
My Pierre, he would talk like that." Then the old man was silent for a moment. "Old Ba'tiste, he has notice some things. He will show you. Golemar! Whee!" In answer to the whining call of the giant, the wolf-dog, trotting beside the lazy team, swerved and nipped at the horses' heels. The pace became a jogging trot.
