"No-o, but " Dingwell surrendered the point reluctantly. He flashed a question at Rutherford. "Tighe will murder him. That's sure. You going to let him?" "Not if I can help it. I'm going to send young Beaudry out of the park." "Fine. Don't lose any time about it, Hal." The Huerfano Park rancher made one more attempt to shake his prisoner. His dark eyes looked straight into those of Dingwell.
At three points, then, might we expect to find its trace parting from the Arkansas near Bent's Old Fort, for the southern route: at the Fontaine que bouit river, for the northern; and for the central, it should diverge up the valley of the Huerfano. In any case, our risk would be unquestionably great.
After that I don't care what you do." Moonlight fell upon the sardonic smile on the pitifully white face of the young man. "I'm to be personally conducted by the Queen of Huerfano. That's great. I certainly appreciate the honor." With the help of Dingwell he pulled himself to the saddle.
This man brought the intelligence that the scattered enemy had again collected that, while fleeing from the rout, they had met with a large war-party of their own tribe accompanied by another of their allies, the Cheyennes; that both together formed a band of several hundred warriors; and that they were now marching back towards the valley of the Huerfano to take revenge for the death of Red-Hand, and the defeat which his party had sustained!
The owner of the place invited Roy out to look over with him a new ram he had just imported from Galloway. The young man jumped at the chance. He knew as much about sheep as he did of Egyptian hieroglyphics, but he preferred to talk about the mange rather than his reasons for visiting Huerfano Park. Just at present strangers were not welcome in the park.
On the way back to the village, we visited the arbol huerfano orphan tree a cypress, so called because it is the only tree of its kind in this district. Quechol says that a long line of such trees, at a distance of several leagues apart, was planted by the Spaniards, and he and the villagers mentioned a number of them in different places.
Its probable route we ascertained without any difficulty up along the Arkansas to the Rocky Mountains, through the valley of the Huerfano, and the passes Robideau and Coochetopa thence across the head waters of the Colorado, and by the old Spanish trail to California. It was principally a caravan of gold-seekers: adventurers of all nations.
I left there when I was a child, but I'll never forget that dreadful day seventeen years ago. Sometimes I wake in bed out of some devil's nightmare and live it over. Why should I go back to that bloody battleground? Hasn't it cost me enough already? It's easy for you to come and tell me to go to Huerfano Park " "Hold your horses, Mr. Beaudry. I'm not tellin' you to go.
The defeat of the "King of Huerfano County" is but one step in a long road which the miners of Colorado have to travel if ever they are to be free men. The industrial power of the great corporations remains untouched by this decision; and this power is greater than any political power ever wielded by the government of Huerfano County, or even of the state of Colorado.
He ran forward to the edge of a pit and looked down. The haggard eyes of Beulah Rutherford were lifted to meet his. Miss Rutherford Speaks her Mind For the first time in over a year an itinerant preacher was to hold services in the Huerfano Park schoolhouse.
