"Oh, I I've let somebody pick my pockets. Yes, every cent's gone and my ticket to New York. I had no luck here yesterday, and I was going on to New York to-morrow." He laughed again, but ceased abruptly. "Good gracious, Miss Barb! my watch! my father's watch!" The broad smile on his lips could not hide the grief in his eyes. As they resumed their way Barbara did most of the talking.
Notwithstanding this, the native, stepping back with his right leg, threw the spear with great violence, and it struck against Governor Phillip's collar bone, close to which it entered, and the barb came out close to the third vertebrae of the back.
Van Horn finally asked for his opinion. "I don't know no more than the rest of you; but a blind man can figure a few things out. He's hit, ain't he?" Barb put the question as one not to be gainsaid and found none to say him nay. "He's looking for help, that's more'n likely, ain't it?
And I don't want to impose on his property rights so much as a single hair. That's exactly what's between us." Kate, established in treacherous ambush, felt qualms at his stern, clear code. She tried to shut him off, but he was wrought up: "Barb swore to me once he had nothing to do with it," he persisted obstinately.
The Esquimau seal-spear is a curious weapon, and exhibits in a high degree the extraordinary ingenuity of the race. The handle is sometimes made of the horn of the narwal, but more frequently of wood. It has a movable head or barb, to which a long line of walrus hide or sealskin is attached.
He's stubborn as a broncho if you try to ride him. He's the easiest man in the world to get along with if you make a friend of him. No matter what's said of Jim Laramie there ain't a crooked hair in his head; but he's no angel and when his patience quits look out. What I'm going to tell you now, Barb, is on the square. It can't go no further. I tell you because you ought to know.
A quarter of a mile away they rumbled on a small bridge and were unheard again, and while she still listened to hear them on the ground others sounded on the bridge. She hurried back to the steps of the house and had hardly reached them when Johanna drove into the grove and Fannie's voice called, "Is that you, Barb?" "Yes. Where's pop-a? Has anything happened?" "He's got to stay in town to-night.
Once in the evening the door bell rang and some man asked for Barb Doubleday. He made a few inquiries when Henry answered that Doubleday was not in town, but he did not ask for Kate. She felt curious tremors, listening to the low voice. But Laramie for it was he presently turned from the door and she heard his footsteps crunching down the gravel path to the street.
This horse was a magnificent creature; the colt of a thorough-bred sire, but of a stronger and larger build than a purely thorough-bred animal. He was a chestnut horse, with a coat that shone like satin, and not a white hair about him. His nose was small, his eyes large, his ears and neck long. He had all the points which an Arab prizes in his favourite barb.
You're going to marry Kate Doubleday. Whatever her father's faults and they've been a-plenty they'd best be let lie now. That's what Kate would want, I'm thinkin' that's what her husband would want anyway, her children would want it. Barb, after he deserted Kate's mother, went out into the Black Hills. He got into trouble there a partnership scrape.
