The answer came unhesitatingly from Rankin: "It wasn't his place to lead while Allister was with us. And I'll tell you what he done after Allister died. When I seen Dozier comin', who was it that stepped out to meet him? Was it you, Scottie? No, it wasn't. It wasn't you, La Roche, neither, nor you, Clune, and it wasn't me. Made me sick inside, the thought of facin' Dozier. Why?
"They's no reason why we should and be run down like rabbits," said Joe Clune, with another of those terrible glances over his shoulder into the night. The others assented with so many growls. "All right," said Andrew, "we stick together. And, if we stick together, I run this camp." "You?" asked Larry la Roche. "Who picked you? Who 'lected you, son? Why, you unlucky "
When the snows get on the mountains if you aint out of the desert put on this coat and think of your partner, JOE CLUNE. P.S. I seen you first, and I have first call on you over the rest of these gents and you can figure that you have first call on me. When he had read all these little letters, when he had gathered his loot before him, Andrew lifted his head and could have burst into song.
In the meantime, Clune and Allister were at work in the car; the water was hissing in the fire box as a vast cloud of steam came rushing out around the engine; the passengers were pouring out of the cars. They acted like a group of actors, carefully rehearsed for the piece. Not once did Andrew have to speak to them, while they ranged in a solid line, shoulder to shoulder, men, women, children.
His monologue was endless; he had a comment for every person in the line, and he seemed to have a seventh sense for concealed articles. The saddlebag was bulging before he was through. At the same time Allister and Clune jumped from the car and ran. Larry la Roche gave the warning. Every one crouched or lay down. The soup exploded. The top of the car lifted.
While the crowd turned out, Andrew, standing opposite the middle of the train, rifle in hand, would line them up, while Allister and Joe Clune attended to overpowering the guards of the safe, and Larry la Roche came out and went through the line of passengers for personal valuables, and Clune and Allister fixed the soup to blow the safe.
