And it would surely mean trouble for the captain. "I I learned them with my own eyes," he declared. "I could see. Gertie, I can't understand you." "And I don't understand you. I said that I must go or everything would be spoiled. You very nearly spoiled it by coming as you did." Mr. Doane's expression changed. It had softened when she reminded him of the whispered word in the drawing-room.
"Hit's wuth while his growin' up ter know thet he wasn't fathered by no craven, ner yit borne by a woman thet faltered," answered Parish Thornton; then he set Hump Doane's rifle in the corner and took out his own with the particularity of a man who, for a vital task, dares trust no tool save that with which he is most familiar. When he had gone Dorothy sat down in her chair again.
If I can help her win by rooting from the observation-car, all right! But don't think it's any fun for me urging you to come back and row. For I wanted to row this race, old boy. Doane's voice faltered. "But I can't; that's all. Baliol needs a better man needs you. As for you, you've no right to consider anything else. You go in and win." "Win!"
First, I must measure the ground and make a working plan." Peter was not sorry to be diverted. "Hadn't we better get lumber from the 'Company' mill?" he suggested. "Looks like up to date somehow." "A board shack looks rotten in the woods?" said Ambrose. "You're so gol-durn artistic," said Peter quizzically. Minot & Doane's store was a long log shack with a sod roof sprouting a fine crop of weeds.
As to that he had no misgiving, but an inner voice spoke in disturbing whispers. He could not forget Hump Doane's appeal and prophecy of tribulation. By killing Bas now he might even loose that avalanche! "An' yit ef I tarries a few days more," he argued stubbornly within himself, "hit's ergoin' ter be even wusser. I'm my own man now an' licensed ter ack fer myself."
Deacon raised his hand. "I've heard it said often, Dr. Nicholls, that any one who gets in Cephas Doane's way gets crushed. I'm not afraid of him, nor of any one else, on my own account; but I'm afraid of him because of my father. My father is getting to be an old man. Do you think I am going to do anyth " Deacon's voice, which had been gathering in intensity, broke suddenly. He couldn't go on.
At Hump Doane's stile Thornton flung himself out of his saddle and paused for no word with those neighbours who stood gathered about the dooryard.
By repeating the operation many times we got the wheels high enough to run some timbers crosswise beneath them. We put other timbers in front and pulled out. We soon reached Bailey's Hotel, a summer resort of considerable popularity. We continued up the grade until we came onto the main road left by us when we descended into Doane's Valley.
Eagen, recovering from his amazement at the man's outbreak, leaped and drove his powerful fist against Doane's jaw, knocking him nearly the length of the room, where he crashed with his head against the stones of the fireplace. Eagen turned quickly. His eyes were blazing red. "You're the man!" he yelled wrathfully. "You're the yellow Coyote "
I dunno why he comes back at all till this Dennis feller gits out." "Doesn't make any bones about it, does he? Dennis Doane's the name, ain't it? Marchand spoiled his wife-run away with her up along the Wind River, eh?" asked Osterhaut. Jowett nodded: "Yes, that's it, and Mr. Dennis Doane ain't careful; that's the trouble.
