The bird-dogs themselves make very fast teams and soon adapt themselves to the climate, but their feet will not stand the strain. The collie's intelligence would make him a most admirable leader, did he not have so pronouncedly the faults of his good qualities; he wants to do all the work; he works himself to death.
Chum leaped back out of range, and then, with the same bewildering speed, flashed in again and buried his curved fangs in the nearest of the two flailing forearms. The first victim of the collie's attack was scrambling to his feet. So was Link Ferris.
Wefers jerked back his protruding arm, with extreme quickness; barely avoiding a deep slash from the collie's shearing eye-teeth. And Lad, continued to "watch" the pistol. The dog was having a lovely time. Seldom had he been happier. All good collies respond in semi-psychic fashion to the moods of their masters.
Now, noting the sudden change in the collie's demeanor, he stooped and caught the silken head between his hands. The gesture was rough, almost painful. Yet Chum knew it was a caress. And his drooping plume of a tail began to wag in response. "Oh, CHUM!" exclaimed the man with something akin to a groan. "You know all about it, don't you, old friend? You know I'm the miser'blest man in North Jersey.
At the first sound of his voice that was audible above the collie's barks, the girl lowered the revolver and leaned forward to get a clearer view of his face, beneath the shadow of the vine-leaves. "I I thought " she stammered, and added lamely "I thought you were were were some one else."
Hillocks was utterly scandalised by his collie's familiarity with the minister, and brought him to his senses by the application of a boot, but Carmichael waived all apologies. "Rover and I made friends two days ago on the road, and my clothes will take no injury."
Louise saw Collie leap to the ground and come running back. Saunders, rolling to his side, reached for his holster, when he saw that in Collie's hand which precluded further argument. "Don't get up!" said Collie quietly. "I never killed a man but I'm going to, quick, if you lift a finger." Saunders kept still. Collie stepped round behind him. "Now, get up, slow," he commanded.
I wouldn't 'a' said that much, only you're a tenderfoot from the East, I hear. If you was a tenderfoot from the West, you would 'a' had to take your own medicine." Collie's shoulder was lame from his fall and was becoming stiff, but he grinned cheerfully, and said nothing, which pleased Williams. The foreman leveled his slow, keen eyes at him for a minute.
But not men like me.... I tell you, straight to your face, it's a fool deal you're workin' a damn selfish one a dirty job, to put on an innocent, sweet girl an' as sure as you stand there, if you do it, you'll ruin four lives!" "Four!" exclaimed Belllounds. But any word would have expressed his humiliation. "I should have said three, leavin' Jack out. I meant Collie's an' yours an' Wils Moore's."
You couldn't cure her of that. You want her to be happy." "I do I do. Wade, I swear I'll never kill Buster Jack. And for Collie's sake I'll try not to hate him." "Well, that's fine. I'm sure glad to hear you promise that. Now I'll go out an' chop some wood. We mustn't let the fire go out any more." "Pard, I'll write another note a letter to Collie. Hand me the blank-book there.
