The response he received caused him to spur forward and dash rapidly on to the head of the valley. Dave Dockery had taken the place of driver on the Last Chance trail, after Bud Benton had been killed on the box by unknown parties.
"Yes, I shot him, and killed Dave Dockery, the driver, and a miner at the same time," was the remark of the masked road-agent, delivered with the utmost effrontery. "You seem proud of your red work, sir." "Yes, killing is a trade with me just now."
"I closed saloon to-night out of respect to Dave. "The young passenger will be a madman if he recovers. Yours, DOCTOR DICK." The note to Buffalo Bill told of the hold-up on the stage-trail, the death of one passenger, wounding of another, and killing of Dave Dockery, and closed with: "Landlord Larry is on the trail of the outlaws, and all will be done to hunt them down that it is possible to do.
Hardly had he uttered the words when a sharp report rang out and Dave Dockery fell back upon the coach and lay motionless, while out of the shadows spurred a horseman dressed in black and wearing a red mask. With his revolver leveled at the stranger he said sharply: "Your turn next, sir, for I am out for blood and gold."
Dockery need not have been amazed. The whole population of Leeds was American yesterday; and of all England. At Oxford the Town Council voted an address to Mrs. Garfield. At the Plymouth Guildhall the maces, the emblems of municipal authority, were covered with black At Dublin the Lord Mayor proposed, and the Aldermen adopted, a resolution of sympathy.
The thought flashed across him that he must lose all he had with him, but his life he could not believe was in danger, yet why the masked road-agent had killed Dockery without mercy he could not understand. "Do you mean to take my life, man?" "That depends whether it is worth more to kill you than to let you live," was the businesslike reply.
