Mose felt the blood of his heart thicken and grow cold. There was a deadly resolution in Delmar's deliberate action. Prevision of a bloody fray filled the boy's mind, but he could not retreat. He could not let his boss go alone into an enemy's country; therefore he rode silently after. Delmar galloped steadily on toward the Circle Bar Ranch house.
They studied him narrowly in the dusk, and one fellow said: "That's Delmar's sheep herder; let's have some fun with him. Let's convert him." "Oh, let him alone; he's only a kid." "Kid! He's big as he'll ever be. I'm goin' to string him a few when he comes out." Mose's breath was very short as he posted his letter, for trouble was in the air.
One day he accepted Delmar's offer and rode home to get his few little trinkets and to say good-by. Another reason why he had accepted Delmar's offer lay in the growing annoyance of Jennie's courtship. She made no effort to conceal her growing passion. She put herself in his way and laid hands on him with unblushing frankness.
