Sent to Denver for that knife, I did. Best lady's knife in the market, I'm told. Made in Sheffield, England." "Ye-es. It's sure a good knife. I'll ce'tainly return it next time I see her." "Funny she ever let you get away with it. She's some particular who she lends that knife to," Jim said proudly. Keller wiped the blade carefully, shut it, and put the knife back in his pocket.
"Must have camped here last night and while he was asleep the cattle stampeded down the cañon," Tim hazarded. "That guess is as good as any. They ce'tainly stomped the life out of him thorough. Anyhow, Bellamy has met up with his punishment. We'll have to pack the body back to town, boys," the sheriff told them.
That tinhorn who claimed he was from Cheyenne ce'tainly had a mighty funny run o' luck. D' you notice how his hands jes' topped ours? Kinda queer, I got to thinkin'. He didn't hold any more'n he had to for to rake the chips in. I'd sorta like a look-see at the deck we was playin' with." Blister laughed wheezily. "You w-won't get it.
While the men reloaded the car he and the sheriff stood apart and talked in low tones. Collins told what he knew, both what he had seen and inferred, and Bucky heard him to the end. "Yes, it ce'tainly looks like one of Wolf Leroy's jobs," he agreed. "Nobody else but Leroy would have had the nerve to follow you right up to the depot and put the kibosh on sending those wires.
Thing is, to burn the wind out of this town while we have the chance." "I see. It won't help us any to be spilling lead into a sheriff's posse. That would ce'tainly put us in the wrong." "Now y'u're shouting. If we're honest men why don't we surrender peaceable? That's the play the 'king' is going to make in this town.
O' course we know what your father would have done if he hadn't been drinking. He's straight as a string, even if he does go off like powder. But when a man's making a blue blotter of himself, things don't look the same to him. Anyhow he went in." "He didn't. I can prove he didn't," burst from Melissy's lips. "Be glad to hear your proof later. He ce'tainly planned the hold-up.
For an instant nobody answered her question; then Soapy replied, with what seemed elaborate carelessness: "Ned Bannister runs a bunch of about twelve thousand not more'n fifteen or twenty miles from your place." "And you say they are spoiling the range?" "They're ce'tainly spoiling it for cows." "But can't something be done?
"Must 'a' lost yore forty-five whilst you was in swimmin', Dug. Was the water good this evenin'? I'll bet you and yore lads pulled off a lot o' fancy stunts when the water come down from Lodore or wherever they had it corralled." Dancing imps of mischief lit the eyes of the ex-cowpuncher. "Well, I'll bet the boys in town get a great laugh at yore comedy stuff. You ce'tainly did a good turn.
Bucky fell back and put a sympathetic hand on the shoulder of the boy. "Plumb fagged out, kid?" he asked. "I am tired. Is it far?" "About four miles. Stick it out, and we'll be there in no time." "Yes, sir." "Don't call me sir. Call me Bucky." "Yes, sir." Bucky laughed. "You're ce'tainly the queerest kid I've run up against. I guess you didn't scramble up in this rough-and-tumble West like I did.
I expect you needed a team right bad." His steady eyes rested on her, searched her, appraised her, while he meditated aloud in a low easy drawl. "Yes, you ce'tainly must need the team. Now I wonder why? Well, I'd hate to refuse a lady anything she wants as bad as you do that."
