We only got three out of four, an' let the best redskin give us the slip. Here fall is nigh on us, with winter comin' soon, an' still we don't know who's the white traitor in the settlement." "I said it's be a long, an' mebbe, our last trail." "Why?" "Because these fellars red or white, are in with a picked gang of the best woodsmen as ever outlawed the border. We'll get the Fort Henry hoss-thief.
"No! Why, I just meandered through the wood, careless-like, till he comes out, and I just rode up to him, and I said" But Salomy Jane had heard her father's story before. Even one's dearest relatives are apt to become tiresome in narration. "I know, dad," she interrupted; "but this yer man, this hoss-thief, did HE get clean away without gettin' hurt at all?"
"But he must have seen it comin' an' left Sears to his fate. It sure was a fittin' last ride for a hoss-thief." Bostil sent Holley and Farlane on ahead to find Cordts and Hutchinson, with their comrades, to tell them the fate of Sears, and to warn them to leave before the news got to the riders. The sun was setting golden and red over the broken battlements of the canyons to the west.
Take him and you're safe; he can't be outrun this side of the state line." "I ain't no hoss-thief," said Madison grimly. "Nobody sez ye are, but you'd be wuss a fool ef you didn't take him. I'm testimony that you found him among your hosses; I'll tell Judge Boompointer you've got him, and ye kin send him back when you're safe. The judge will be mighty glad to get him back, and call it quits.
Now, mebby you could tell me which way Malvey was headed?" "He has ridden to Showdown." "So that red-headed hoss-thief fanned it right back to his boss, eh? He must 'a' thought I was fixed for good." "It is his way. Men spake truly when they called him the bull. He is big but he is as a child." "Well, there's goin' to be one mighty sick child for somebody to nurse, right soon," stated Pete.
"'I've been figgerin' on you, says Cherokee, 'an' I gives you the result in strict confidence without holdin' out a kyard. When you- all talks of tearin' up Wolfville, you're a liar an' a hoss-thief, an' you ain't goin' to tear up nothin'. "'What's this I hears! yells the frenzied Red Dog man, reachin' for his gun.
He first heard the distant murmur of voices on the road and passed an uneasy and restless ten minutes, with his eye to a crack in the door. He was soothed and reassured, however, when at last he caught sight of the sheriff. "Well, judge, I got company for you," cried the sheriff cheerfully, as he threw open the door. "A hoss-thief!"
Nels took the articles in question and looked fixedly at Rodney, as if he did not know whether to smile at him or get angry. He decided on the former course when one of his companions said, in an audible whisper: "You sartingly be mistook, Nels. That abolition hoss-thief was a mighty palavering sort of chap, but he didn't have no such grit."
He was gone not more than a minute, and then he came back with a jump and a whoop, holding Jeff's tattered blanket in one hand and a pair of well-worn boots in the other. "Wake snakes!" yelled Nels, striking up a war-dance and frantically flourishing the captured articles over his head. "He's skipped, that hoss-thief has! He's lit out, I tell ye!"
I kin earn more in the mines eny day. I'm not doin' eny more for you than I would fer eny other galoot in bad. I wouldn't let 'em lynch a hoss-thief without givin' 'em a fight first.
