The other stopped, a man with a lean face, heavy curved nose and penetrating gaze behind large spectacles. He was in reality a veterinary, but Lemuel Doret, out of a profound caution, had discovered him to be above the narrow scope of local prejudice. "I wish you'd look at Flavilla," Doret continued. The doctor hesitated, and then turned shortly in at the sidewalk.
Doret uttered a feeble cry and rose to his feet. "Ma soeur!" he exclaimed. "She's got claim up dere I stake it for her. For me, I don' care if I lose mine plenty tam I come jus' so close as dis; but if dem feller jump her groun' " "Wait, wait! There's no question of anything like that. Nobody has jumped your claim, or hers, either. The law wouldn't let 'em.
The confidence-men stared at each other silently; then they stared at Doret. "What we goin' to do about it?" the Kid inquired, finally. 'Poleon was at a loss for an answer; he made no secret of his anxiety. "De doctor say she mus' stay right here " "He say if she get cold once more pouf! She die lak dat! Plenty fire, plenty blanket, medicine every hour, dat's all.
Doret spoke to him shortly, "Dese men ain't goin' mak' no trouble, m'sieu'." With that he turned his back and, heedless of the clamor, began to minister to the bleeding man. He had provided himself with a bottle of lotion, doubtless some antiseptic snatched from the canvas drugstore down the street, and with this he wet a handkerchief; then he washed McCaskey's lacerated back.
"'You will be on board the merchant vessel, Sire, the man answered. 'I will run up the white flag and man the brig with a few devoted followers. We will tackle the English vessel, set fire to her, and board her, and you will get clear away. "'We will go with you! I cried to the captain. But Napoleon looked at us and said, 'Captain Doret, keep yourself for France.
The man who stole it probably stole the other stuff." "They're two to one," Pierce told her. "They're trying to saw it off on me." The Countess turned and stared at the McCaskey brothers, who met her look defiantly. "Ban!" she exclaimed. "I haven't heard the evidence, for I was on my way to Dyea when Mr. " She glanced inquiringly at 'Poleon. He bowed again. "Doret," said he. "Napoleon Doret."
Both Rock and Doret were sufficiently familiar with the hazards and the disappointments of travel at this time of year to feel extremely doubtful of overhauling the two McCaskeys, and so they were by no means sanguine of success as they drove headlong into the night. Both teams were loaded light; neither driver carried stove, tent, or camp duffle.
"So you're in this, Doret. You're a part of this little farce. You trapped me here to make a fool of me, did you? Well, I can settle with you " "D-don't blame him!" cried the girl, hysterically. "It is all my doing. He had no part in it." Burrell wheeled back to the Frenchman again. "Is this true?" "Yes," said Doret, in a restrained voice. "Dis ain' no work of mine."
It must be he," said the squaw. Even Necia would have marvelled had she heard this revelation of her father's age, for his hair and brows were grizzled, and his face had the look of a man of sixty, while only those who knew him well, like Doret, were aware of his great strength and the endurance that belied his appearance.
Lemuel Doret walked slowly home from the prayer meeting with his being vibrating to the triumphant beat of the last hymn. It was a good hymn, filled with promised joy for every one who conquered sin.
