Scogin Bevins flung herself up, then, a wave of red riding up her face. "If you don't go up if you don't! Go now! Honest, you're gettin' so luny you need a keeper. Go you hear?" The door shut slowly, inclosing the old figure. She relaxed to the couch, trying to laugh. "Luny!" she said. "Bats! Nobody home!" "I like your hair like that, Kittie. It looks swell." "It's easy.
He at first denied having any partner, but when we gave him five minutes to live unless he told the truth, he said his pal was in an unoccupied house three miles farther down the river. We took up our journey, and, coming in sight of the house, saw a number of animals grazing near it. As we rode to the door, another of our old packers, whom I recognized as Bill Bevins, stepped to the front door.
We finally got back to Fort Lyon with Bevins, and General Carr, to whom I immediately reported, complimented us highly on the success of our trip, notwithstanding we had lost one prisoner. The next day we took Bevins to Boggs' ranch on Picket Wire Creek, and there turned him over to the civil authorities, who put him in a log jail to await his trial.
By this time the country was filling up with soldiers, but previously a second memorable detective party went out under the personal command of Major O'Bierne. It consisted, besides that officer, of Lee, D'Angellia, Callahan, Hoey, Bostwick, Hanover, Bevins, and McHenry, and embarked at Washington on a steam-tug for Chappell's Point.
They kept this up for some time, till finally most of the gang were caught, tried, convicted, and sent to the penitentiary for a number of years. Bill Bevins and nearly all of his gang are now confined in the Nebraska state prison, to which they were transferred, from Wyoming.
The report brought us all to our feet. I at once covered Bevins with my revolver, but, seeing that he could barely stir, I lowered it. Then in came "Doc," swearing a blue streak and announcing that Williams had escaped.
They pulled the boat in, and under Trask's orders walked about the bottom, to prove that there was no one lying hidden under their feet. "You may come aboard, Bevins," said Trask finally. "But the others stay where they are a few minutes. If they attempt to rush, they'll get shot." "Git the skipper before I come," begged Bevins. "Git him while he's asleep. Don't take no chances.
The next instant Bevins, who had got hold of his shoes, sprang up, jumped over the fire, and started away on the run. As soon as I was enough awake to comprehend what was going on I sent a shot after him. Williams attempted to follow Bevins, but as he did so I knocked him down with the butt of my revolver. Farley had by this time got out of the fire.
"Not if you help us get back to Manila, and make no more trouble." "We don't want no trouble, honest to Gawd!" said Shope. "Mr. Peth he got us to go ashore just for fun," said Bevins. "I know we had no call for doin' of it but he said we'd be back in the mornin'. Said the skipper give orders for it." "We'll call it square if you men turn to," said Trask.
And Barbara, seated on Ralph's carrier, explored the countryside and mapped out Mr. Waddington's course for him. "She's worth a dozen Ralph Bevins," he would say. And he would go to the door with her and see her start. "You mustn't let yourself be victimized by Ralph," he said. He glanced at the carrier. "Do you think it's safe?" "Quite safe. If it isn't it'll only be a bit more thrilling."
