I'm all pinched up and wigglin' with shivers now. 'T ain't no use lettin' the hoss go step-a-ty-step, this fashion." "Landy me!" exclaimed the affronted driver. "I don't see why folks expects me to race with the cars. Everybody that gits in wants me to run the hoss to death on the road. I make a good everage o' time, and that's all I can do.
Tomorrow would be Friday. In the early hours Davy and Landy would make a furtive visit to the Bar-O ranch to see if Ugly Collins had carried out his plans to evacuate the resisters. "Maybe they set fire to the house or poisoned the cattle," suggested Davy. Landy poo-pooed the idea. "They're on a slow train," he explained. "In that outfit they can't do over six miles an hour.
While Sylvia talked Estralla stopped crying and began to look a little more cheerful. Sylvia ran to the closet and was back in a moment with a pink checked gingham. It had a number of tiny ruffles on the skirt, and a little frill of lace around the neck. "Landy! You don't mean I kin KEEP that, Missy?" exclaimed Estralla, her face radiant at the very thought. "Yes, quick. Somebody may come.
"The script of a good vaudeville act would sell for twice as much. What's the matter with the local moneychangers? What's the whole thing worth anyhow? Why doesn't some diplomat wheedle old Hulls off? And why " "How much is yer little elephant earnin' now, eatin' his head off in winter quarters?" interrupted Landy dryly. "Whar would ye show yer vaudeville act with the show places all closed?
The sun had pushed above the clouds. Frost was flying in the air. It jeweled the grass of the table land and sparkled amid the green of the conifers along Ripple Creek. Farther down the indistinct path they met Jim in the car. "Are you fellers goin' to git back in time for dinner," he called to the horsemen. "Mebbe not," replied Landy.
He just knows he's been keeping us waiting here ever so long, and that's making him put on so much steam. Wow! he nearly took a header that time into the ditch. What a splash there would have been, my countrymen, if he played leap-frog into that mud-puddle!" The boys sat there on the rail fence and began to greet the coming bicycle rider with loud shouts. "Hit her up, Landy!"
That also goes to show it was some time ago; but I think it was only one person who camped here." He pointed as he spoke to where soft hemlock browse had been gathered as if for the purpose of forming a couch; and there being but a single bed even Landy could guess Elmer was correct when he said one party had made the temporary camp.
Maybe there are some old cows over there that Landy says are dear at ten dollars a head. There are some unweaned calves, and a few unbranded yearlings that will just about pay the cost of their roundup. But that's the foundation on which we are to build. What do you say, podner? Are you with me?" "In yer listin' of assets, ye haven't invoiced Maizie," said Landy.
Before Davy realized what was going on, Landy had lifted him to the saddle, mounted Gravy, clucked to Frosty and the procession moved out the gate. "I'll see you all in Adot, Saturday," called Davy without turning his head. "Good luck and bon voyage," called Adine. On the way down to the Ranty, the colt behaved remarkably well.
"What about the skiffs then, if we abandon the same?" asked Toby. "Oh! we'll mark the place, and Johnny can easily find his property when we're paying him five dollars for their use," said Lil Artha, lightly. "And boys, better make a start with those packs right now." Landy sighed heavily, and seeing there was no escape he started to carry out the suggestion of the tall scout.
