"Laddy, take a peek at the side of that lava ridge," sharply called Jim. "I guess mebbe somethin' ain't comin' off. See! There's Rojas an' his outfit climbin'. Don't make out no hosses.... Dick, use your glass an' tell us what's doin'. I'll watch Yaqui an' tell you what his move means." Clearly and distinctly, almost as if he could have touched them, Gale had Rojas and his followers in sight.
Well, I climbed it an' left my hat on top for a woodpecker's nest." "You've been running fighting?" queried Belding, as if Ladd had not spoken at all. "I reckon it'll dawn on you after a while," replied Ladd, slipping the saddle. "Laddy, go in the house to the women," said Belding. "I'll tend to your horse." "Shore, Tom, in a minute. I've been down the road.
And the last I saw of Laddy he was badly hurt." Gale was keyed up to a high pitch of excitement and alertness. He seemed to be able to do many things. But once off the ragged notched lava into the trail he had not such difficulty with Thorne, and could keep his keen gaze shifting everywhere for sight of enemies. "Listen, Thorne!
He saw that Mickey was so intently occupied that he was scarcely conscious of the presence of any one else, and he did not attempt to disturb him. Suddenly the Celt roused himself from his abstraction, and, turning to the expectant lad, abruptly asked: "Do you know, me laddy, that it is dinner-time?"
"Gale, Laddy tells me one of our neighbors, fellow named Carter, is going to Casita," put in Belding. "Here's a chance to get word to your friend the soldier." "Oh, that will be fine!" exclaimed Dick. "I declare I'd forgotten Thorne.... How is Miss Castaneda? I hope " "She's all right, Gale. Been up and around the patio for two days.
"Now, me laddy, we must emigrate, as there ain't anything to be gained by loafing round here, as the gals used to tell the chaps when they tried to cut me out. The first thing to larn is whether the hoss that I lift some distance away is still there cropping the grass.
With a jerk of abruptness, he deposited Jerry in Van Horn's arms and turned away along the deck. "An' if bad luck comes to him I'll never forgive you, Skipper," he flung roughly over his shoulder. "They'll have to take my head first," the skipper chuckled. "An' not unlikely, my brave laddy buck," Haggin growled.
"She's only taking a little ride, same as she's done often. But rustle now. Find out. Dick, you ride cross the valley. Jim, you hunt up and down the river. I'll head up San Felipe way. And you, Laddy, take Diablo and hit the Casita trail. If she really has gone after Thorne you can catch her in an hour or so." "Shore I'll go," replied Ladd.
"I'm no match for Newhaven." So saying she cut short the dispute by carrying off the gristle of contention. "Another enemy to art," said Gatty, hurling away his pencil. The young fishwife inquired if there were any more griefs. What she had heard had not accounted, to her reason, for her companion's depression. "Are ye sick, laddy?" said she.
I cut for the place where the Injuns seemed thinnest, lifting myself up till I didn't weigh fifteen pound, and breathing only when necessary. We got along first-rate until we reached the edge of 'em, and then Laddy had to stick his foot in a gopher-hole, and walloped around there like a whale trying to climb a tree.
