By the time the chuck-wagon had come to a halt and the cook had clambered stiffly from his seat to prepare the noonday meal, Lawler and the others saw the horse-wrangler and his assistant descending the long slope with the remuda. The horses had fallen far behind, and Lawler rode to meet them, curious to know what had happened.
The bearer of the dispatch insisted that I ought to obey the order, and was giving arguments to support his position when I heard great cheering to the right of our line and, looking in that direction, saw Lawler in his shirt sleeves leading a charge upon the enemy.
"That will be in January," said Lawler. "Half the cattle in the state will starve before that time." The governor flushed. "That's the best we can do, Lawler." "Why not call a special session, Governor?" Haughton laughed. "Do you keep yourself informed, Lawler?" he said, a suspicion of mockery in his voice.
He now squinted at Lawler, watching him keenly. "Accordin' to report Joe Hamlin ought to go around draggin' one of them monitors." Blackburn shrewdly noted the quickening of Lawler's eyes, and the dull red that stole into his face. "What do you mean, Blackburn?" "Davies an' Harris hit town ag'in last night; an' comin' back they run plumb into Joe Hamlin. He was in the upper end of the box arroyo.
Warden went toward the Wolf, and Della walked down the street to her horse, mounted and rode through mounds of back-yard refuse to the rear of the Willets Hotel. She got a man out to stable her horse, and a few minutes later she was in the room she had occupied on the night Lawler brought her to town from the line cabin. She was still pale, but now there was a smile on her lips.
First there's Blondy Antrim; an' now Link an' Givens cuttin' the fence. When you goin' to cut loose an' give 'em hell, Boss?" "Hell is closer than you think, Shorty," said Lawler, gravely. When the storm broke Warden had shown by his actions that he was more concerned over Link and Givens than over Della Wharton.
He threw the muzzle of the pistol up, his body stiffening, his eyes glittering with the malignance that had been in them when he had been looking out at Lawler through the aperture in the door. "You know about that deal, an' you've come for me. You tried to fool me, eh tellin' me that you didn't see Davies an' Harris. Well, damn your hide you ain't goin' to take me; I'll blow you to hell first!"
I stayed after school with Minnie Lawler to sweep the floor." "And did you and Minnie quarrel, and is that why you are crying?" asked Frank solemnly. "Minnie and I never quarrel. I am crying because we can't have the school decorated on Monday for the examination, after all. The Dickeys have gone back on us ... after promising, too," and the tears began to swell up in the blue eyes again.
Lawler read the order. Then he calmly placed it on the desk. He looked at Jordan, whose gaze fell from his; he turned to Warden, who smiled jeeringly. "There is nothing like thoroughness, whenever you do anything on a big scale, Warden," he said. "This order forces cattle owners in this section to drive cattle over a trail without proof of ownership.
They were, as McMurdo found, quite ready to converse about their deeds in the past, which they recounted with the half-bashful pride of men who had done good and unselfish service for the community. They were reticent, however, as to the immediate job in hand. "They chose us because neither I nor the boy here drink," Lawler explained. "They can count on us saying no more than we should.
