And because Gary imagined that Bailey of the Concho had deliberately sent such youngsters as Andy White and Young Pete to the Blue Mesa to settle the matter of a boundary line, Gary felt insulted. He was too narrow-minded to reason that Bailey could hardly know whom Houck of the T-Bar-T would send. Gary's ill-humor was not improved by the presence of Young Pete nor by Pete's pugnacious attitude.
Drummond," she said with a grave dignity that was at the same time perfectly childish too, "I have told you about myself I can't tell you about other people." "Daisy, you are not angry with me!" "No sir." "Don't you sometimes permit other people to ask your pardon in Preston Gary's way?"
"Let him starve me shut me up but let him keep his hands off hands off." The dull spark in Captain Gary's eyes seemed to enlarge and twinkle as the boy uttered these words in a semi-drowsy, spasmodic way. Presently the partially rolled up eyes opened in a natural manner and blinked feebly at the light. At this juncture a loud cry was heard from aloft of: "S-a-i-l h-o!"
He is like Mother Gary's chickens, they are all fat and feathers. A wick run through 'em makes a candle. This critter is all hair and blubber, if he goes too near the grate, he'll catch into a blaze and set fire to the house. "Then, there is an old aunty that a forten come from. She looks like a bale o' cotton, fust screwed as tight as possible, and then corded hard.
"He won't want to see me," remarked Ralph, who then briefly related the circumstances under which he had been driven from home, his encounter with Shard, and the latter's mode of placing him at Gary's mercy. The old warrant officer laughed over the silly feud, while sympathizing with the boy over its sad results. "You shall take me home," he concluded.
I regard it as a very fortunate thing, Daisy, that we have got you safe out of her hands. Don't you think that prayer ought to be private?" "Yes," said Daisy. She was overwhelmed with the rapidity and liveliness of Gary's utterances, which he rattled forth as lightly as if they had been the multiplication table. "Yes, just so.
One of Gary's own men said that night when they were leavin' the cabin, 'It must 'a' been Steve that drilled the ole man because Steve was the only puncher who knowed where the window was and fired into it." "I didn't know that. So you aim to even up, eh?" "Nope. I jest aim to be ready to even up." Bailey strode back to his horse. "I'm goin' up in the hills and look for a deer.
Gary's scowl deepened. "Duff told you this, did he?" demanded the skipper suspiciously. "Out with the truth." Ralph acknowledged that the second mate was his informant. "Stuff! Haven't we a sentry there constantly?" "But the sentry isn't always at his post, so Mr. Duff says. He was away today when we heard the noises." "And you heard them, too!
Gary glanced at Pete, who stared at him, but made no gesture of greeting. But Pete had read Gary's unspoken thought. "Bailey had sent a couple of kids over to the Blue to help survey the line." And Pete did not intend to let Gary "get by" with the idea that his attitude was not understood. "Where's Houck?" asked Pete, naming the foreman of the T-Bar-T.
"Gary's doin' all he kin to make a job of it," declared Pete. "But I don't wait for him. Soon's we finish eatin' I'm goin' to locate Blue Smoke and git to work. We kin run that line without any help from them. Let 'em walk till they're tired." "And what do you think of a couple of punchers punchers, mind you that sit down and eat bacon and drink coffee and don't as much as say 'come in'?"
