"That's Lawler's lookout," he said, venomously; "he ought to be man enough to take care of himself. Let's take a look around." With Singleton beside him, Warden visited half a dozen saloons and dance halls; smiling as he noted the bepistoled cowboys who were swaggering in and out of doorways and on the sidewalk strangers to him, but not to Singleton, who grinned and nodded to them as they passed.
But perhaps and Lawler's lips curved with bitterness the governor wanted only one term. For two years of complete and absolute control of the cattle industry of the state would make him wealthy enough to hold public opinion in contempt. From a window of his office Gary Warden had watched Lawler go into the station building. And from the same window Warden saw Lawler emerge.
"That's mebbe Lawler's old woman, settin' up, wonderin' what her boy's been grabbed by the law for," he sneered. "Well, she'll be wonderin' more after Blondy gits through with him." Slade chuckled, but said nothing. He was hoping that by this time on the morrow Antrim would have discovered that Kane Lawler could "sling" a gun with the speed and accuracy he had used in the old days.
After arriving at Morganza, Emory, by Canby's orders, put his command in good condition for defence or for a movement in any direction by sending to other stations all the troops except the Nineteenth Corps and the First division, Lawler's, of the Thirteenth Corps, as well as all the extra animals, wagons, and baggage of the army.
An hour later, his face flushed with passion, he was in a little office with Sheriff Moreton, demanding Lawler's arrest on a charge of murder. Moreton, a slender man of medium height with a lean, strong face and keen, penetrating eyes, had listened patiently to Warden's story. "Lawler told you he killed 'em, eh?
Olive started a step backwards; she would have fainted, but at the moment the words were spoken Mrs. Lawler's face was revealed in a beam of weak light that fell through a vista in the branches. 'Who are you? Let me pass. 'Who am I? You know well enough; we haven't been neighbours for fifteen years without knowing each other by sight. So you are going to run away with Captain Hibbert! 'Oh, Mrs.
The men stood rigid while Lawler jerked their pistols from their holsters and tossed them into the dust waves that danced and swirled around them. The short man was catapulted against the tall one with a viciousness that staggered both; and then they heard Lawler's voice, sharp and penetrating, above the shrieking of the wind: "Those cattle will be here in five minutes!
He was running, and she leaped to meet him, unaware that Shorty and the other Circle L men had emerged from the front door of the Wolf and were listening to the man who had brought the news of Lawler's arrival. She was aware of nothing but the fact that Lawler was coming. And when, running toward him, she saw him stop dead short, she cried aloud with joy: "O Kane! Kane!"
In fact, being aware of the reason for Hamlin's belligerence, he had no intention of acquainting the man with the knowledge of what had happened the night before. At least, not at this instant. Lawler's lips wore a shadowy smile. "I reckon you don't know me, Hamlin?" he said. "I know you mighty well, Lawler," snapped Hamlin; "you heard me mention your name!"
And if I offer you or any man a price, and it doesn't suit you, you don't have to accept it." He saw a glint of humor in Lawler's eyes a sign that the man's passions were not to be permitted to break the leash in which he held them and he grew bolder, his voice taking on a vindictive note.
