They worked heavens, how they worked! and they stopped the fire there on the rim of Antelope Coulee. Florence Grace Hallman would have been sick with fury, had she seen that dogged line of fighters, and the ragged hem of charred black ashes against the yellow-brown, which showed how well those men whom she hated had fought.
But now that ladies have come into the country, a-course we'll try and hold our tempers down all we can. Miss Hallman, now I don't suppose there's a man in the bunch that would shoot her, no matter what she done to us. We take pride in being polite to women. You've read that about us, haven't you, Miss Allen? And you've seen us on the stage well, it's a fact, all right.
"We'll try," Irish promised rashly, his eyes tying to meet Miss Allen's and succeeding admirably. "What has become of Mr. Green?" Miss Hallman demanded after she had thanked Irish with a smile for the qualified encouragement. "We don't know," Weary answered mildly. "We were trying to locate him ourselves." "Oh, were you? He seems a rather uncertain young man.
Miss Hallman was impressed. A few of the closest homeseekers she beckoned and introduced to the perspiring Happy Family mostly feminine homeseekers, of whom there were a dozen or so. The men whom the hotel had sent down with rigs waited impatiently, and the unintroduced male colonists stared at the low rim of Lonesome Prairie and wondered if over there lay their future prosperity.
Campbell Pope flushed painfully and rose to his feet. "They're not talking ducks. Women haven't the least delicacy, have they? Let's go out and smoke." One day, after Bob had acquired sufficient confidence in himself and in the baby to handle it without anxiety to the nurse, he begged permission to show it to the hallman down-stairs.
Florence Hallman therefore, having taken upon herself the leadership in the contest fight, must do one of two things if she would have victory to salve the hurt to her self-esteem and to vindicate the firm's policy in the eyes of the settlers. She must produce evidence of the collusion of the Flying U outfit with the Happy Family, in the taking of the claims.
And I'll get my hoss and you'll show me what gulch she's talking about, won't you?" Miss Allen puckered her lips into a pout which meant indecision, and glanced at Florence Grace Hallman. And Miss Hallman frowned at being shunted into the background and referred to as she, and set her teeth into her lower lip. "Miss Allen prefers to choose her own company," she said with distinct rudeness.
Forgotten was the wraith of Leung Kai Chu, the jungle trail of Hallman, and even the trepidation with which we had awaited the sailing ship's boat. I was soon to be in those enchanted archipelagoes, and to see for myself those mighty swimmers and those sleepers upon the sea. I might even get a letter through that floating postmaster. There was a Continental duchess aboard, whom I pitied.
And, mind you, no person took more fish than he needed. There was no greed." "That's rot!" broke in Hallman, who entered the smoking-room. "The natives are frauds. You've got to kick 'em around or bribe 'em to do any work. Haven't I lived with 'em twenty years? They're swine." "It depends on what you bring them and what you seek," said McBirney. "Ah, well, it's getting too civilized in Raratonga.
Came Florence Grace Hallman smilingly from Great Falls, to canvass the town for "accommodations."
