I didn't see them any more after that until I'd hit the Lazy Y, and had started in runnin' cattle in the Soda Springs Valley. Larry Eagen and I rode together those days, and that's how I got to know him pretty well. One day, over in the Elm Flat, we ran smack on this Texas outfit again, headed north.
For a moment intense hatred and anger flashed in his eyes, but he made no move to avenge the insult. Slowly the light in his eyes died again to fear, as he realized his inability to cope with this man of strength. "Here, Eagen, you can't come into my house and act like that," said Mallory stoutly, putting the lamp on the table.
"Maybe it's a 'dogie," says Larry Eagen we calls calves whose mothers have died "dogies." "No," says I, "I don't hardly think so. A dogie is always under size and poor, and he's layin' around water holes, and he always has a big, sway belly onto him. No, this is no dogie; and, if it's an honest calf, there sure ought to be a T 0 cow around somewhere." So we separated to have a good look.
"That's puttin' it up to me all fair an' square," Rathburn replied evenly. "I'll give it right back to you, Eagen." "Get that gun out of the window." "Mallory." "Right here, Rathburn, an' all set," came Mallory's voice. "Get that gun out of the window." "What's that? Don't you see there's three of 'em? You " "Get that gun out of the window!" rang Rathburn's voice.
I'm sorry to say it, but Fred had seemed awfully nervous lately, and to-night he came to me and asked me to run away with him at once. He seemed horribly afraid of something. Anyway, Roger refused to go in with Eagen, and an examination of Fred's books will tell all." She hesitated. Then she spoke slowly and softly. "I know why Roger robbed the bank and " "Stop, Laura!" cried Rathburn.
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 "
"He lies!" screamed Doane. "I didn't frame it with Rathburn. I can prove it. That man" he pointed a shaking finger at Eagen "has come to me with threats and made me take securities I knew were stolen. There's some of them in the bank now. Some of the stuff he took from the stage driver yesterday is there! He's pulled job after job "
Eagen, just because we don't want to work without any sense to it." There was more of the same sort. I had plenty of time to see my dilemma. Either I would have to abandon my attempt to keep the men busy, or I would have to invoke the authority of Captain Selover. To do the latter would be to destroy it.
Then he recollected that the sheriff had mentioned he had an idea of who was responsible for that job, but had been unable to get a line on his man. Eagen and his gang were evidently well covered up. If such were the case, Eagen himself might be in town. It was because he thought he might learn something from Gomez that he finally acknowledged the fellow's greeting by a nod.
As to navigation, and latitude and longitude and where the hell we are, that is outside your line of duty. As to where we are bound, you are getting double wages not to get too damn curious. Remember to earn your wages, Mr. Eagen!" He turned away to the binnacle.
