"Oh, we'll put it through all right," said the Chicago man. "Don't worry about that. We'll put it through" "If Molick doesn't kick up a row," observed Mr. Carson. "Yes, of course we've got to look out for him. But I think " Mr. Bellmore never finished his sentence. "Look out, Dave!" he yelled, as if he could warn the lad who was riding toward the rushing steer. "Oh! Oh!" gasped Mr. Carson.
Bellmore for the ride across the prairies to the place where they were going to measure the flow of water. He did not want his companion to suspect anything. "Feel like taking it on the gallop?" asked the engineer. "Yes, I guess Crow can stand it if your animal can," Dave said. "Oh, I'll bank on Kurd!"
I've got to get some of the boys, with fence material, and go back to relieve Pete. He's on guard there." "Say! It takes you to tell it!" exclaimed Mr. Carson with a smile. "Welcome to Bar U, Mr. Bellmore. I don't exactly understand all that boy of mine has gotten off, but it's all right. We will look after you. Sprained ankle; eh? Well, I know something about them. Come boys, one of you help Mr.
Probably he had not told of the drubbing he had received. "Can I ride across here?" asked Mr. Bellmore of Mr. Carson, after a few minutes conversation, during which Jason Molick was inspecting the progress of his workmen. "Yes, the river, is very shallow here. Go ahead! We'll wait for you. I don't want to go on his land."
And as for that Dave, if I catch him I'll give him the worst licking he ever had." "Seems to me it was the other way around," retorted Mr. Bellmore, with a grim smile. "At least it was the last time you met." "Huh!" snorted Len. "Well, tell him to look out, that's all!" "I don't think there is any need of that," said Mr. Bellmore. "I think Dave can look after himself.
But so crowded had they been with work and worry that it seemed hardly more than one or, at most, a few minutes. The figure ahead was riding desperately to escape. "He's got a good horse critter," observed Pete, admiringly. He could admire even an enemy's mount. "Yes, but he can't keep up that speed," said Mr. Bellmore." And our animals are fresh."
"What is it? "asked the engineer. "Hush! Not so loud!" was Dave's caution. "Don't you see some one crouched down in the grass there, lighting matches?" The other two looked to where he pointed. They did indeed see a dark figure. Suddenly it became plain, and the three saw some one stooping over in the dry grass, setting fire to it with matches. "The scoundrel!" cried Mr. Bellmore. "Who is he?"
"We can't afford to lose any of those steers." They were all up late at Bar U ranch that night, for the day had been a momentous one. Then, too, the visit of Mr. Bellmore had created a little diversion. He and Mr. Carson sat up for some time after the others had retired, talking irrigation matters, "I wonder if I'll ever have a part in them?" reflected Dave, as he went to his room.
Bellmore had been made very welcome, and he had had every care and attention while unable to use his injured foot. Now it seemed that a spirit of hostility had cropped out. "Before I go on to say what I intend to-to give you a warning in other words," said Mr. Carson, "let me ask you, Mr. Bellmore if you know why Molick is putting up new fences along the water course?
Bellmore, with deliberate, but slightly smiling, emphasis, "since you are seeking instruction, is a mingling of the material and the spiritual." "Of course," said Terence, suddenly growing serious, "it was a dream or some kind of an hallucination. Nobody believes in spirits, these days. If you told the tale out of kindness of heart, Mrs. Bellmore, I can't express how grateful I am to you.
