Doubler isn't dead yet, and so I'm not running away. If Doubler had someone to nurse him, he might " He hesitated and looked at her with a strange smile. "You think I shot Doubler, too, don't you? Well, there's a chance that if we can get Doubler revived he can tell who did shoot him. Do you want to know the truth?
The latter permitted him to approach, though he held the rifle belligerently. "I want to talk," said Duncan, when he had come near enough to make himself heard. "Pull up right where you are, then," commanded Doubler. He was silent while Duncan drew his pony to a halt and sat motionless in the saddle looking at him. Then his voice came with a truculent snap: "You alone?" Duncan nodded.
I reckon you think that after the sheriff gets me you'll be able to take the Star without any trouble like you expect to take Doubler's land. "You've got Duncan to swear that he saw me do for Doubler, and you've got your daughter to testify that she saw me on the trail, coming from Doubler's cabin right after she heard the shooting.
In Midsummer-night's Dream he has the same notion. With doubler tongue Then thine, O serpent, never adder stung. ACT III. SCENE i. Thou hast nor youth, nor age: But as it were an after dinner's sleep, Dreaming on both. This is exquisitely imagined.
Did he tell you about Langford coming to see him? I reckon not," he added as he caught Doubler's blank stare; "he'd likely not tell you about it. But I reckon that if he was your friend he'd tell you. I reckon you told him about Langford wanting your land about him telling you he'd make things hot for you?" Doubler nodded silently, and Duncan continued.
And then she saw a moist red patch on his shirt on the right side just below the shoulder blade, and it seemed that a band of steel had been suddenly pressed down over her forehead. Something had happened to Doubler!
"Answer!" he added, when she did not speak immediately. "On the river trail." "Before you found Doubler?" "Before, yes and after. I met him twice." She discerned his motive in asking these questions, but it made no difference to her and she answered truthfully.
"I reckon we don't make any deal," laughed Dakota shortly. "We'll arrange it this way," suggested Langford. "Doubler is not the only man I want to get rid of. I want your land, too. But" he added as he saw Dakota's lips harden "I don't purpose to proceed against you in the manner I am dealing with Doubler. I flatter myself that I know men quite well. I'd like to buy your land.
It doesn't make any difference to you that Doubler doesn't want to sell; you want his land, and that settles it so far as you are concerned. You don't consider Doubler's feelings. Well, I don't know but that's the way things are run one man keeps what he can and another gets what he is able to get. What are you figuring to do about Doubler?"
"I reckon, ma'am, that you don't understand. It wasn't Dakota that shot me." "Who did, then?" she questioned eagerly. "Who?" "Duncan." "Why why " she said, sitting suddenly erect, a mysterious elation filling her, her eyes wide with surprise and delight, and a fear that Doubler might have been mistaken "Why, I saw Dakota on the river trail just after you were shot." "He'd just left me.
