The expressman was climbing unsteadily to his seat, and in reply to something said by the freight agent, he shouted: "Thas all right! thas all right! I kin turn Josephus 'round on this dock. Jefers-pelters! he could back clean up town with this load, I sh'd hope!" Janice had said nothing in reply to Frank Bowman's last query; but the latter added, under his breath: "Goodness!
Yes, the business is all done, and I'm ready to come home, but I want to give you a bit of news. Do you remember the young woman who dined with us at Mrs. Bowman's and played the piano so well?... Yes, the night I met you.... Well, you half guessed that night how it was with us, I think. And now she is here, and we are to be married at once, before I return.
He was still at the lock, his back to me, when a door up front slammed, and a Spanish Cavalier came bustling down the corridor, pulling off a mask to show me Bowman's face, announcing, "I think you want me in there. That girl should have competent medical attention." "She has that already," I spoke over my shoulder. "And if she hadn't, do you think she'd let you touch her, Bowman?
In the first place, Captain Bowman's company, with a few scouts, of which Tom was one, set out that very afternoon for the capture of Cohos, or Cahokia, and this despite the fact that they had had no sleep for two nights.
It was doped, he finally decided, but not enough to hurt her; tasting it, a momentary desire for stinging liquor ran like fire through his nerves. He laughed at it, crushing and throwing aside the longing with a sense of contempt and triumph. He could hear occasionally Bowman's smooth periods and his wife's eager enjoyment of the discourse.
We took him over the smooth acres from Lone Pine to Woody Ledge, from the top of Bowman's Hill to Tinkie Brook in the far valley. He went with us through every tidy room of the house. He looked over the stock and the stables. 'Wall! what's it wuth? he said, at last, as we stood looking down the fair green acres sloping to the sugar bush.
Jack Dudley did not forget the real object of the coming of himself and companion to this section, and he could not gather the information too soon. "How does Bowman's ranch compare with others in Central Wyoming?" "You may ride over the whole State without finding a better. If you doubt it, look at the country for yourself." "We don't doubt anything you tell us," said Fred Greenwood.
Bowman's men fought bravely, but the Indians had every advantage. Knowing all the woods about their settlement, while one party fought openly, the other, concealed behind the grass and trees, poured in a deadly fire upon the whites. He was forced at last to retreat as rapidly as possible to a distance of thirty miles; but the Indians pursued him here, doing more mischief than before.
"God bless you, Davy, you are a brave boy." He closed the door softly and I sped away, my moccasins making no sound on the soft dirt. I reached the garrison, was challenged by Jack Terrill, the guard, and brought by him to Bowman's room. The Captain sat, undressed, at the edge of his bed.
He remembered being wrapped in the sheepskin that lay at the foot of his bed, and of being carried in Diccon Bowman's arms down the silent darkness of the winding stair-way, with the great black giant shadows swaying and flickering upon the stone wall as the dull flame of the lamp swayed and flickered in the cold breathing of the night air.
