They did not know what to do. Manifestly with trappers in a locality there could be no more bear chasing. Disappointment perched upon the countenances of the Haughts and Copple and Nielsen. I let them all have their say. Finally Haught spoke up: "Wal, fellars, I'm figgerin' hard an' I reckon here's my stand. We jest naturally have to get Doc an' his brother a bear apiece.
He never looked to see whether or no his blow had been fatal. "These border fellars might think a man as sails the seas can't handle a knife." He calmly began gathering up his gold, evidently indifferent to further attack. Helen saw Legget raise his own rifle, but only to have it struck aside as had Jenks's.
But I'll miss my guess if we don't have a hot dusty old time," replied Pan. "Fellars," called Blinky, "come ararin' now, an' don't any of you fergit your guns." "How about hobbles?" inquired Pan. "I've got a lot of soft rope, an' some burlap strips." Gus and Brown brought in the saddle horses, and soon the men were riding down to the corrals.
Helen sat bolt-upright with a cold shock. "Carmichael! you're not serious?" she exclaimed. "Serious? I shore am. Thet's the only way, Miss Nell. An' I reckon it's what Al would want. An' between you an' me it would be easier than ropin' a calf. These fellars round Pine don't savvy guns.
I believe you've lost your nerve, or the lettin' out of a little blood hes made you wobbly. We've Injuns here, an' ought to be a match fer two men." Brandt gazed at him with a derisive smile. "We kin go out an' fight these fellars," continued Legget. "We might try their own game, hidin' an' crawlin' through the woods." "We two would have to go it alone.
"Wal, he was sure it wasn't redskins," rejoined the trapper, reflectively. "Slingerland stood in with the Sioux traded with 'em. He " "Tell me quick!" hoarsely interrupted Neale. "What happened to Allie Lee?" "Fellars, my pard heah is hurt deep," said Larry. "The girl you spoke of was his sweetheart." "Young man, we only know what Al told us," replied the trapper.
"Fellars, look at that guy who's goin' to pitch," suddenly spoke up one of the team. Many as were the country players whom we seasoned and traveled professionals had run across, this twirler outclassed them for remarkable appearance.
"Jim, you saved me the job," continued the outlaw leader. "An' I'm much obliged.... Fellars, search Riggs an' we'll divvy.... Thet all right, Jim?" "Shore, an' you can have my share." They found bank-notes in the man's pocket and considerable gold worn in a money-belt around his waist. Shady Jones appropriated his boots, and Moze his gun. Then they left him as he had fallen.
"'Mister Bruce, said Isbel, 'an' you fellars who heerd thet lyin' greaser, I did meet Ellen Jorth. An' I lost my head. I 'I kissed her.... But it was an accident. I meant no insult. I apologized I tried to explain my crazy action.... Thet was all. The greaser lied. Ellen Jorth was kind enough to show me the trail. We talked a little.
All was black, an' yet if I didn't see a big gray streak I'm crazier 'n thet gurl. But I couldn't swear to anythin' but a rushin' of wind. I felt thet." "Gone!" exclaimed Wilson, in great alarm. "Fellars, if thet's so, then mebbe she wasn't daid an' she wandered off. ... But she was daid! Her heart hed quit beatin'. I'll swear to thet."
