The people accepted Mr. Worth's personal assistance cheerfully, thankfully, and had come to look upon him as a friend. But this did not in the least alter their belief that he belonged to the band. He was simply a generous, gentlemanly sort of robber, kin to the hold-up man who returns the railroad tickets of the passengers and refuses to rob the ladies.
The two cow-punchers I finds in charge is scared to a standstill; they allows this Kingman's ha'nted. They tells me how two parties who once abides thar father an' son they be gets downed by a hold-up whose aim is pillage, an' who comes cavortin' along an' butchers said fam'ly in their sleep.
But you don't git out of your part of the hold-up that easy. Take your share, or I'll blow it into you," said McKee, pulling his revolver. Bud, with an effort, arose and walked over to Buck. With clenched fists, in agonized tones, he cried: "Shoot, if you want to. I wish I'd never seen you you dragged me into this you made me your accomplice in a murder." McKee looked at him in amazement.
She caught a glimpse of a grand piano, bright colored rugs, bookcases overflowing with books, and other evidences of comfort. Hard gave their host an account of the Athens hold-up, not forgetting the part Polly had played in it. "I remembered," he said, "that Li was a doctor, and thought perhaps you'd loan him to us for Jimmy. We don't think much of the Conejo medico."
Damn you, throw up your hands!" Slowly, as though his mind was still in a dream, the man's hands were lifted above his head, one grasping a short, sawed-off gun. The expression upon his face was ugly, as he began to dimly understand what this unexpected hold-up meant.
But if Fendrick could get at him some way he might put down his John Hancock. With this trouble of Sam still unsettled and the Tin Cup hold-up to be pulled off he might sign." "If we could only have Fendrick arrested " "What good would that do? If he's guilty he wouldn't talk. And if he is holding your father somewhere in the hills it would only be serving notice that we were getting warm.
I'm leaving for Phoenix to-night," he told her. "What can I do for you, Miss Lee?" "I want to know what's being done about that Fort Allison stage hold-up." "The money has been recovered." "I know that, but what about the the criminals?" "They made their getaway all right." "Aren't you looking for them?" "No." "Did Mr. Morse want you to drop it?" "Yes. He was very urgent about it."
"This hold-up man may be from the West; but perhaps he did not follow Bartholomew alone." "I'd like to know who the other fellow is," said Tom thoughtfully. "I would know the man who attacked me, both by his bulk and his voice. "Me, too," put in Mr. Damon. "Bless my indicator! I'd know the scoundrel if I met him again."
You keep behind us, and we'll deliver the goods." "What's it all about?" I whispered. "Why," he answered, "I want to get Brodie, only I don't want to figure in the thing so that he will know me or suspect anything but a plain hold-up. They will get him; take everything he has. There must be something on that man that will help us."
When I said why not, he bit his nails some more, and said he was afraid of a hold-up: what he wanted me to do was to ride over to the Halfway and scout around from there to clear the Caraquet road, before I started out from La Chance with an ounce of gold. The idea suited me well enough. It would cover my expedition to Skunk's Misery.
