His eyes dared any one to smile. The men merely exchanged glances. When he turned away they grinned broadly. Hal Purvis turned and caught Bill Kilduff by the shoulder. "Bill," he said excitedly, "if Whistlin' Dan is dead there ain't any master for that dog!" "What about him?" growled Kilduff. "I'd like to try my hand with him," said Purvis, and he moistened his tight lips.
When Silent caught Kate's hand Cumberland had started forward, but Kilduff and Rhinehart held him. "What is it, Kate," he cried. "What does it mean?" She explained it briefly: "This is Jim Silent!" He remained staring at her with open mouth as if his brain refused to admit what his ear heard. "There ain't no use askin' questions how an' why she's here," said Silent. "This is the pint.
Anyway I'd like to try my hand with him. Bill, I'm goin' to get hold of him some of these days if I have to ride a hundred miles an' swim a river!" Kilduff grunted. "Let the damn wolf be. You c'n have him, I say. What I'm thinkin' about is the hoss. Hal, do you remember the way he settled to his stride when he lighted out after Red Pete?" Purvis shrugged his shoulders. "You're a fool, Bill.
"Now put me right if I go off the track. The way I understand it, Jim Silent has about twenty gun fighters and long riders working in gangs under him and combining for big jobs." "That's about it." "The inside circle consists of Silent; Lee Haines, a man who went wrong because the law did him wrong; Hal Purvis, a cunning devil; and Bill Kilduff, a born fighter who loves blood for its own sake."
There was a rumbling and puffing and a mighty grinding a shout somewhere the rattle of a score of pistol shots she opened her eyes to see the train rolling to a stop on the siding directly before her. Kilduff and Shorty Rhinehart, crouching against the grade, were splintering the windows one by one with nicely placed shots. The baggage-cars were farther up the siding than Silent calculated.
To the women specifically mentioned the names of the following especially active in the campaign should be added: Miss Mary Stewart, Mrs. W. I. Higgins, Mrs. J. F. Kilduff, Mrs. Tyler Thompson, Jean Bishop, Mrs. Wm. Roza, Mrs. J. W. Scott, Mrs. John Duff, Mrs. Bertha Rosenberg, Mrs. Mary Tocher, Mrs. J. M. Darroch, Mrs. W. E. Cummings, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. A. E. Richardson, Mrs.
"What's the matter with him?" growled the scar-faced man, none too anxious to start an open quarrel with the formidable Kilduff. Rhinehart jerked his thumb over his shoulder. "The gal in there. He don't like the game the chief has been workin' with her." "Neither do I," said Purvis, "but I'd do worse than the chief done to get Lee Haines back."
"Buck," he said, "there's one chance in ten thousand that I'll make this draw the quickest of the two. If I don't, you may live through it. Tell Kate " "Haines, git to your mark, or I'll start shootin'!" Haines turned and took his place. The others drew back along the walls of the room. Kilduff took the lamp from the table and held it high above his head.
Haines, Purvis, and Kilduff were instantly at the car, taking the ponderous little canvas sacks of coin as their chief handed them out. Within two minutes after the explosion ten small sacks were deposited in the saddlebags on the horses which stood before the station-house.
You come away without him and let him stay behind to be nabbed by that devil Whistlin' Dan." "Right," said Kilduff, and his teeth clicked. "Is that playin' fair?" "Boys," said Silent solemnly, "if I had knowed that Whistlin' Dan was there, I'd of never left Haines to stay behind. Morris said nothin' about Calder havin' a runnin' mate.
