She did not touch his hand, nor did they speak as they walked soberly to the far side of the corral, and buried Lady Vere de Vere. At breakfast they talked of the coming day's run, from the canyon out of the Park, and northward. But they had the queer, quick casualness of intimates. It was at breakfast that her father heard one Milt Daggett address the daughter of the Boltwoods as "Claire."
Our young man, however, remembered that Daggett had given the anchorage as on the north-eastern side of the island, where, according to his statements, a little haven would be found, in which a dozen craft might lie in security. To this quarter of the island Gardiner consequently endeavoured to get.
From Daggett, a forsaken station of the Santa Fé Railroad, a "jerkwater" road, as it is called, extends northward to Goldfield and Tonopah, and this road takes one almost as the crow flies to the edge of the valley of the ominous name. Even in a Pullman coach the trip is trying to both body and soul. But forty years ago? well, that is a different story.
"I think the seal are getting to be much shyer than they were, and am afraid we shall demonstrate that 'the more haste is the worse speed." "What is that to you?" returned Daggett quickly. "Of course you will sail for home as soon as you can get off." Gardiner did not like the "of course," which was indirectly saying what the other would do himself under similar circumstances.
None of that close stewing over stoves, which is so common in America, and which causes one-half of the winter diseases of the climate, was tolerated in either gang. Daggett saw the prudence of Roswell's, or rather of Stimson's system, and fell into it freely, and with hearty good-will.
"Yes," agreed Daggett, "he is somewhat visionary. But I begin to think he is on the right track." "How? What do you mean?" "I mean the West is beginning to lose its wool, and it's time this country was getting civilized. That fool editor of The Pioneer thinks that because he keeps wearing buckskin pants and a cowboy hat, he can keep back the wheels of time.
"I don't know what you are talking about, but Mr. Elliot didn't eat any dinner, and he is either sick or troubled in his mind." "There! Now you c'n all see from that!" triumphed Lois Daggett. Mrs. Deacon Whittle and Mrs. Judge Fulsom gazed incredulously at Mrs. Solomon Black, then at one another.
"The shadow from thy brow shall melt, The sorrow from thy strain; But where thy earthly smile hath dwelt, Our hearts shall thirst in vain." Mrs. Hemans. As soon as it would do to put his boats in the water, or at daylight next morning, Captain Daggett came alongside of his consort.
Yuh could have knocked me down with a wisp uh bunch-grass when one uh the boys come in one night with a Phoenix paper, an' showed me Stratton's name on a list uh killed or missin'!" "When was that?" asked Buck briefly, seeing that Daggett evidently expected some comment. If only the man would get on! "'Round the middle of September.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Lynch, crumpling the unheeded money in his hand, stepped aside with an expression of baffled fury and watched him stride along the side of the house and disappear around the corner. He was far from lacking nerve, but he had suddenly remembered that letter to Sheriff Hardenberg, regarding which he had long ago obtained confirmation from Pop Daggett.
