Susan gave her aunt only an ecstatic kiss for answer. Bread was needed for dinner, and she flashed out to the bakery for it, and came flying back, the bread, wrapped in paper and tied with pink string, under her arm. She proposed a stroll along Filmore Street to Mary Lou, in the evening, and they wrapped up for their walk under the clear stars.
Now, I am inclined to be merciful to only those who have been merciful to me; therefore, I have decided that Alexander and Clarence Filmore shall pay the penalty of hanging, for their attempted crimes. Boys, string 'em up!" So saying, Deadwood Dick stepped without the cabin, and closed the door behind him.
"Dick's coming up, all right," proudly muttered Darrin to Hudson, while the next snapback was forming. "It's putting nerve into all of us," rejoined Hudson. The pigskin was only fourteen yards from the Filmore goal line when Captain Wadleigh's men had to see the ball go to Filmore. Pike's men, however, failed to make good on downs, so the oval came back into Wadleigh's possession.
Maybe when you see the girl you will take a fancy to her." "Pish! I want no petticoats clinging to me much less an ignorant backwoods clodhopper. She is probably a fit mate for an Indian chief." "You are too rough on the tender sex, boy," and the elder Filmore gave vent to a disconnected laugh. "You must remember that your mother was a woman." "Was she?"
"Give Drayne the cut?" repeated Wadleigh, slowly, before a group of the fellows. "Perhaps, in one way, he deserved it, but " "Well, what can you find to say for a fellow who acted like that?" demanded Hudson, impatiently. "Drayne helped to win the game for us," replied Wadleigh moderately. "Had he played Filmore would have downed us -of that I'm sure, as I look back.
In the operation his mask became loosened and slipped to the ground, but so quickly did he snatch it up and replace it, that no one caught even a glimpse of his face. In the meantime Clarence Filmore had discharged every load in his two six-shooters into the air. Dick's wound dressed, he stood once more upon his feet, and glared up at the two men on the box.
The four horses were quietly reined in, and when the others were out of hearing, their noses were turned back up the canyon in the direction of Deadwood. "This will be an unhealthy job for us!" said one of the brothers, "should we ever meet Dick again." "Fear him not!" replied Alexander Filmore, with an oath.
"Hal ha!" leered the elder Filmore, peering down into the masked face "ha! ha! my young eaglet; so I have you at last, have I? After repeated efforts to get you in my power, I have at last been rewarded with success, eh? Ha! ha! the terrible scourge of the Black Hills lies here at my feet, mine to do with as I shall see fit."
One quivering instant -then Wadleigh and Hudson bumped that fullback so hard that he went down, Dick wriggling safely away and bounding toward Filmore's goal. With fire in their eyes, Gridley's center and left wing swept on. Dick Prescott was over the goal line, bending and holding the ball down! Then, indeed, the crowd broke loose all except the few hundreds from Filmore. Was it a touchdown?
"I'm as empty as a collapsed balloon, and what's more, we're in no prospects of immediate relief." Filmore, the younger, groaned aloud in agony of spirit. "Curse the Black Hills and all who have been fools enough to inhabit them, anyhow!" he growled, savagely; "just let me get back in the land of civilization again, and you can bet your bottom dollar I'll know enough to stay there."
