Dick modestly replied that he could, according to the Eastern idea of horsemanship. "You don't need to be half horse to ride one of that bunch. But over there in the other field I've iron-jawed broncos I wouldn't want you to tackle except to see the fun. I've an outlaw I'll gamble even Laddy can't ride." "So. How much'll you gamble?" asked Laddy, instantly.
An' in back o' that agin," he assured her cunningly, "I realized what a popular laddy buck I'd be wit' Misther Donald if I knew what he didn't know but was wishful o' knowin'?" "But how did you procure my address in New York?" she demanded. "Now, I'm a wise man, but if I towld ye that, ye'd be as wise as I am.
"Fred, me laddy, tell me all that has happened to you since we met not that, aither, but since Lone Wolf snapped you up on his mustang, and ran away wid you. I wasn't about the city when the Apaches made their call, being off on a hunt, as you will remember, so I didn't see all the sport, but I heard the same from Misther Simpson."
You can take yours out in huntin' an' thinkin'. Now if I had a girl like Nell I'd never go crazy. That's your game, Dick. Hunt, an' think of Nell, an' how you'll tell those fine boys about it all, an' about the old cowman you knowed, Laddy, who'll by then be long past the divide. Rustle now, son. Get some enthusiasm. For shore you'll need it for yourself an' us."
At the first stop for letters he found one from his mother, which disturbed him more than any letter of hers had ever done before. She wrote: DEAREST LADDY, I am writing in much haste and some perturbation of mind for your advice. Last night, at the Desmonds', Nick van Rensselaer came to me after dinner for a chat. I knew he had something upon his mind when he wasted his time talking to a woman.
The exultant fellow had hard work to keep his spirits under control when he fairly understood the brilliant exploit that had been performed by his young friend. "It is almost aqual to my gineral coorse," he he added; "but I must try and hold in till I can get the laddy by himself. Then I'll hammer him, out of pure love, as ye may say."
That laddy, in hunting around, has struck upon some hole that leads out, and he's forgot, or else it was so hard to find his way back to me, he has gone round to that place, and now hollers down at me.
"I'll show ye, me laddy; I'm going there as sure as me name's Mickey O'Rooney, and me." "Yer ain't going to try any such thing; if yer do, I'll bore yer." But the Irishman had already given the word to his horse. The latter bounded forward, passing by the dumbfounded hunter, who raised his rifle, angered enough to tumble the reckless fellow from the saddle.
"Laddy, no horse every threw you." The girl's words and accusing eyes only hurried the ranger on to further duplicity. "Mebbe I got it when I was ridin' hard under a mesquite, an' a sharp snag " "You've been shot!... Mama, here's Laddy, and he's been shot!.... Oh, these dreadful days we're having! I can't bear them! Forlorn River used to be so safe and quiet. Nothing happened. But now!
"Laddy, maybe he's not dead," replied Gale. He called aloud to his friend. There was no answer. Ladd got up, and, after peering keenly at the height of lava, he strode swiftly across the space. It was only a dozen steps to the crack in the lava where Thorne had fallen head first. Ladd bent over, went to his knees, so that Gale saw only his head.
