She laid something against Chip's closed lips. "Swallow these," she said, and he obeyed her. "Weary oh, you knew what to do, I see. There, lay the coat down there for a pillow." Relieved of her burden, she rose and went to the poor, twisted foot. Weary and the Old Man watched her go to work systematically and disclose the swollen, purpling ankle.
"Fotheringham hadn't anything to do with it any more'n you did Wittrock knocked him down and he couldn't help himself." "Mr. Moriarity, if all this is true, you will be benefited by the information you have given," then turning to the baliff, he said, "We are through now." Moriarity, still cursing Cummings, was led back to the cell, and the detectives left the jail for Chip's boarding-house,
Chip's able t' take care of himself, I guess," said Weary, mercifully, holding open the door. They trooped out, and the last heard of them was Cal, remarking: "Gee whiz! I'd have t' be ready t' croak before I'd miss this chance uh dealing old Dunk misery." Chip sat where they had left him, staring unseeingly down at the uncompleted sketch.
I rode him just now, in the little pasture to see if I liked his gait better than the others. I rode Banjo first and I wouldn't own a thing like him, on a bet. Silver'll do me till I can get around to break a real one." Chip's hand dropped from the bellows while he stared hard at the Kid. "Did you go down in the pasture and Words failed him just then.

Why, I'll bet I ran off and scared my folks into fits fifty times when I was a kid." "But he's just a baby!" sobbed the Little Doctor with her face pressed hard against Chip's strong, comforting shoulder. "He's a little devil!" amended Chip fiercely. "He ought to be walloped for scaring you like this. He's just as capable of looking after himself as most kids twice his size.
Chip's Flying U's were the pride of the whole outfit; the Happy Family was willing at any time, to bet all you dare that Chip's brands never varied a quarter-inch in height, width or position.
There was a dead man's estate to be settled, over beyond the Bear Paws, and several hundred head of cattle and horses had been sold to the highest bidder, who was Chip Bennett, of the Flying U. Later, there were the cattle and horses to be gathered and brought to the home range; and Weary, always Chip's choice when came need of a trusted man, was sent to bring them.
"Why, I will go and try, Sir," said Laura, so much confused by the novelty and magnitude of the circumstances that she opened the closet-door before opening the only one that led out of the room. Fairly out of Chip's presence, she saw instantly and instinctively the worthlessness of that gold eagle, however genuine, compared with her sisterly love, in her mission to Frank.
Fast as she flew, Weary was before her and had raised Chip's head upon one arm. She knelt beside him in the dust, hovering over the white face and still form like a pitying, little gray angel. Weary looked at her impersonally, but neither of them spoke in those first, breathless moments.
