For Johnnie and Kitty had started together to see a picture play two hours earlier. "They done took Kitty in an auto," he gasped. "Right before my eyes. Claimed a lady had fainted." "Who took her?" "I dunno. Some men. Turned the trick slick, me never liftin' a hand. Ain't I a heluva man?" "Hold yore hawsses, son. Don't get excited.
"There's your six-shooter. You keep the trail, and camp down there" he pointed to where the trees came to the water "till I head them hawsses off. I may not get back right away." He galloped up the open hill and went into the pine, choosing a place above where the vagrants had disappeared.
"I I dunno what you mean," he quavered. "I'll call Dug if you wanta see him." He began to shuffle toward the inner room. "Hold yore hawsses, Brad. I asked you a question." The cold eyes of the gunman bored into those of the other man. "Howcome you to hire Dug to burn the range?" "You know I wouldn't do that," the older man whined.
They gave the bronchs a good scare, and started them into the hills, knowing they would find their way back home all right in a couple of days. At Willow Creek they found hawsses waiting for them, and Mr. Spiker hit the back trail for Noches, with his car, and slid into town while everybody was busy about the robbery." "Sure. That would be the way of it," his friend nodded.
"But we think it may have been his guide," explained the girl. "Guide?" muttered Gowan, staring intently at Ashton. "Yes. You see, if he was mean enough to help steal Mr. Ashton's outfit, he " "Shore, I savvy!" exclaimed the puncher. "I'll rope a couple of fresh hawsses, and go out with Mr. Ashton after the two-legged wolf." "That's like you, Kid!
We found the surrey down in the canyon. It had gone over the edge of the road. Both the hawsses were dead, and Struve had disappeared. How the thing happened I reckon never will be known unless the convict tells it. My guess would be that Dunke attacked him and the convict was just a little bit more than ready for him." "Have you any idea where Struve is?"
"Hold yore hawsses, Em," said West, smiling. "Graham didn't know the facts. If you was a capitalist an' thinkin' of loanin' big money to a man you found out had been in prison for manslaughter and that he had since been accused of robbin' a stage an' killing the driver " "He was in a hurry," explained Dave. "Going East to-morrow. Some one must have got at him after I saw him.
This is the hawss corral, ma'am," explained the young man just as Morgan opened his thin lips to tell her. Judd contrived to get rid of him promptly. "Slap on a saddle, Mac, and run up the remuda so Miss Messiter can see the hawsses for herself," he ordered. "Mebbe she'd rather ride down and look at the bunch," suggested the capable McWilliams.
Neither of them guessed there'd be other hawsses wandering here in the night, or they both would have come." He turned back to our pack animals. "Then you'll not hunt for this camp to make sure?" "I prefer making sure first. We might be expected at that camp." He took out his rifle from beneath his leg and set it across his saddle at half-cock.
"By James!" vowed Gowan. "Before I'll butcher for such a knock-kneed tenderfoot I'll see him, in " "Hold your hawsses, Kid," put in Knowles. "The joke's on me. You go on and look for that bunch of strays, if you want to. But I'm not going to back up when Chuckie says I'm roped in." Gowan looked fixedly at Ashton and the girl, swore under his breath, and swung to the ground.
