Marion put her hand for a moment on his coat sleeve; he looked at Dicksie with another laugh and spoke to her because he dared not look toward Marion. "Going back to-night, do you say? You never are."
This is the young lady and this is the man who had you sent to the hospital from Smoky Creek," he added, rising. "You can thank them for picking you up. When you leave here tell Bob Scott to meet me at the Wickiup with the horses at eleven o'clock, will you?" He turned to Dicksie in a gentle aside. "I am riding north to-night I wish you were going part way." Dicksie looked at him intently.
If I can once get out of this accursed man-slaughtering business, Dicksie How old are you? Nineteen? Well, you've got the finest chap in all these mountains, and George McCloud has the finest " With a bubbling laugh she shook her finger at him. "Now you are caught. Say the finest woman in these mountains if you dare! Say the finest woman!" "The finest woman of nineteen in all creation!"
Even the long hour before Puss, calm and inviting in a white cap and apron, appeared to announce supper, passed like a dream. When Dicksie rose to lead the way to the dining-room, McCloud walked on air; the high color about her eyes intoxicated him.
"Then tell me how you could do it?" demanded McCloud, devouring Dicksie with his eyes. Dicksie looked at the fire. "I know all the roads pretty well. We did get lost once," she confessed in a low voice, "but we got out again." "The roads are all underwater, though." "What time is it, please?" McCloud looked at his watch. "Two minutes past twelve." Dicksie started. "Past twelve?
When I see you, no matter how tangled up things are, I feel right away they are coming out. And this man is another." "Another what?" demanded Whispering Smith. "Another care-killer." McCloud, speaking to Dicksie, nodded toward his companion. "Troubles slip from your shoulders when he swaggers in, though he's not of the slightest use in the world. I have only one thing against him.
"I'll put a bullet through you if you touch a barb of Stone Ranch wire!" Stormy Gorman jumped forward with his hand covering the grip of his six-shooter. "Yes, damn you, and I'll put another!" "Cousin Lance!" Dicksie Dunning advanced swiftly into the room. "You are under our own roof, and you are wrong to talk in that way." Her cousin stared at her. "Dicksie, this is no place for you!"
"I shore wouldn't have been here to-night if you two hadn't picked me up," laughed Wickwire, speaking softly to Dicksie when she turned to him. "I've knowed my friends a long time, but I reckon they all didn't know me." "I've known you longer than you think," returned Dicksie with a smile. "I've seen you at the ranch-house.
Her Medicine Bend horseshoer stood in much greater awe of her than Puss did, because if he ever left a mistake on Jim's heels Dicksie could, and would, point it coldly out. One March afternoon, coming home from Medicine Bend, she saw at some distance before her a party of men on horseback.
He congratulated Barnhardt, and when Marion came into the room he apologized for the snow he had brought in. Dicksie heard his voice and cried out from the bedroom. They could not keep her away, and she ran out to catch his hands and plead with him not to go away. He tried to assure her that the danger was over; that guards were now outside everywhere, and would be until morning.
