In Apahatchie County he would have been used for Target Practice, but Apahatchie County was still Eight Hundred Miles away. In Conclusion he Soaked the Colonel for $32.75 in Fines and Costs, Confiscating the Weapon, which he afterward presented to Officer Otis Beasley as a Slight Token of Esteem.
Their camp was situated beside a spring in a cove surrounded by aspens, some three miles from Pine; and, though working for Beasley, near the village, they had ridden to and fro from camp, after the habit of seclusion peculiar to their kind. Dale and the brothers had much in common, and a warm regard had sprang up.
Beasley went on to tell of the spectacle of the sinking of the Titanic, the terrible experiences of the survivors in the life-boats and their final rescue by the Carpathia as already related. ONE of the calmest of the passengers was: young Jack Thayer, the seventeen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Thayer.
I've got as many friends in Pine an' all the way down the trail as Auchincloss has.... An' Snake, see here " He paused to draw a deep breath and his big hands trembled over the blaze. Anson leaned forward, like a serpent ready to strike, and Jim Wilson was as tense with his divination of the plot at hand. "See here," panted Beasley. "The girl's due to arrive at Magdalena on the sixteenth.
"Wonder how she came here?" he said thoughtfully. "Seems as though the storm had kind o' dumped her down," Abe Allinson admitted. Again Beasley chuckled. "Say, was ther' ever such a miracle o' foolishness as you fellers? You make me laff or tired, or something. Wher'd she come from? Ain't the Padre sold his farm?" he demanded, turning on Buck. "Ain't he sold it to a woman?
Dowden again: "Grist's against us because he had a quarrel with a clerk in Beasley's office, and wanted Beasley to discharge him, and Beasley wouldn't; Sim Peck's against us out of just plain wrong-headedness, and because he never was for ANYTHING nor FER anybody in his life.
"Listen please oh please!" she implored. "If you go deliberately to kill Beasley and do it that will be murder.... It's against my religion.... I would be unhappy all my life." "But, child, you'll be ruined all your life if Beasley is not dealt with as men of his breed are always dealt with in the West," he remonstrated, and in one quick move he had freed himself from her clutching fingers.
"I meant a particular instance," I began; meaning to see if she could give me any clew to Bill Hammersley and Simpledoria, but at that moment the gate clicked under the hand of another caller. My cousin rose to greet him; and presently I took my leave without having been able to get back upon the subject of Beasley. Thus, once more baffled, I returned to Mrs.
You pulled my chestnuts out of the fire very nicely indeed. But I was not as thorough as I should have been in that affair. A loose end, or two, eh, Roy? Beasley and yourself. Ah but I improved with practice. I left no loose end that night in Bellingham, did I? Unless the fact that your neck didn't stretch, as I intended, could be called a loose end.
"Boss, we gotta tell you thet every greaser on the ranch hes sloped gone these two hours on the way to Magdalena," said Buck Weaver. Of all these sudden-uprising perplexities this latest was the most astounding. Beasley cursed with his questioning wonder. "Boss, they was sure scared of thet gun-slingin' cowboy from Texas," replied Weaver, imperturbably.
