The girl had stepped down from the train, and, without casting a glance behind her, walked swiftly across the wriggling thing which stood for a street in Indian Creek. There was a saloon with a long hitching-pole in front of it, to which a couple of saddle-horses were tied, and a buckboard with two fretting two-year-olds in dust-covered harness.
It was all a part of his almost involuntary campaign to win Virginia's love. The impulse had been lawless, lawless as the old-time West, and the admission cut deep into his self-respect. It was again dusk as he rode up to his own hitching-pole and slipped from the saddle. Wetherford came out, indicating by his manner that he had recovered his confidence once more.
Redfield tossed it over the hitching-pole, and Ross took it up, looked at it for a moment in silence, then tore it into bits and threw it on the ground. "What are your orders, Mr. Supervisor?" he asked, with a faint, quizzical smile around his eyes. "There's nothing you can do but take care of this man. But as soon as you are able to ride again, I've got some special work for you.
"What I am doing may be all wrong," he admitted to Swenson, who came often to lean upon the hitching-pole and offer aid. "I have had no training as a nurse, but I must be doing something. The man is burning up, and hasn't much vitality to spare.
Ultimately houses with hot water in their bath-rooms and pianos in their parlors would displace the shack, the hitching-pole, and the dog-run, and in those days Edward Wetherford would be forgotten. Redfield swept through the town, then turned up the stream directly toward the high wall of the range, which was ragged and abrupt at this point.
The crowd had thinned somewhat and displayed less interest; otherwise the situation had not changed, except that a pinto pony stood meekly, with head drooping, at the hitching-pole. "There's your horse," Rusty Brown called to Weary. "Yours played out?" "Not on your life," Weary denied proudly. "When yuh see Glory played out, you'll see him with four feet in the air."
