"Wal, Ellen how aboot Jean Isbel our half-breed Nez Perce friend who was shore seen handlin' y'u familiar?" he drawled. Ellen Jorth quivered as under a lash, and her brown face turned a dusty scarlet, that slowly receding left her pale. "Damn y'u, Jim Colter!" she burst out, furiously.
I'll put it on Diablo myself; he's a touchy cuss, and I don't want him ruffled by careless handlin'." "You take considerable trouble over it," remarked Crane. "One would think it was a big handicap you meant to capture this morning." Langdon started visibly. Was Crane thinking of the Brooklyn?
Summerlee and I got some rough handlin' on the way there's my skin and my clothes to prove it for they took us a bee-line through the brambles, and their own hides are like leather. But Challenger was all right. Four of them carried him shoulder high, and he went like a Roman emperor. What's that?" It was a strange clicking noise in the distance not unlike castanets.
"Well, cuttin' and trimmin' and haulin' ain't much in my line," returned the old man, again cautious; "but after all, I reckon that there'd be less damage to my property if I looked after it myself. Of course, I'd have to have a profit for handlin' it. I'd feel like holdin' out for for " and after some hesitation he again named a figure.
I saw one of them had been broken in handlin'. 'Twas curiosity made me pull up the loose top and look inside. The box was packed full of Winchester rifles. 'So, so, says I to myself; 'somebody's gettin' a twist on the neutrality laws. Somebody's aidin' with munitions of war. I wonder where the popguns are goin'? "I heard somebody cough, and I turned around.
That's kinda my specialty. An' these folks are good, no question! There's engines even steam engines we couldn't build on Earth. But, my Gawd, they're dumb! There ain't a piece of automatic machinery on the place. There's one man to every motor, handlin' the controls or the throttle. They got stuff we couldn't come near, but they never thought of a steam governor."
So would I. An' as for your handlin' a hoss, I never seen no better." Slone appeared embarrassed and kept studying the gold coins in his palm. Some one touched Bostil, who, turning, saw Brackton at his elbow. The other men were now bantering with the Indians. "Come now while I've got a minnit," said Brackton, taking up a lantern. "I've somethin' to show you."
Mebbe the Papago went inside to pick out the best hosses. But it didn't work except with Diablo, an' how they ever got him I don't know. I'd have gambled it'd take all of eight men to steal him. But Greasers have got us skinned on handlin' hosses." Belding was unconsolable. He cursed and railed, and finally declared he was going to trail the raiders.
"Why did ye dally with him, Ken?" she demanded, fiercely; "don't ye know thet whilst ye lets him live yere jest handlin' an' playin' with a rattlesnake?" "He hain't got long ter live," came the coldly confident response, "but afore he dies, he wants ter crave yore pardon, Dorothy, an' he wants ter do hit kneelin' down." Bas Rowlett shot a sidelong glance at the clock.
"Well, ez you've put it that way, 'in the name of God!" returned the man lazily, "it mout hev struck us that ez HE was bossin' the job, so to speak, and handlin' things round here generally, we might leave it to Him. It wasn't OUR flood to monkey with."
