He wondered why the jury, men whom he knew and had known for years, most of them, looked at one another so queerly when he declared that he had seen Aleck ride home. The coroner also had given him a queer look, but he had not made any comment. Aleck, too, had turned his head and stared at Lite in a way which Lite preferred to think he had not understood.
Pink led up the black and the sorrel, and helped to pack them with bedding and supplies for four, as Luck had ordered, while Lite and Applehead saddled their horses and then came up to help throw the diamond hitches on the packs.
I haven't got it all planned yet, but the first reel is about done; we're going to begin on it this afternoon. We'll need you in the first scenes, just ranch scenes, with you and Lee; he's my brother, and he'll get killed Now, what's the matter with you?" She stopped and eyed him disapprovingly. "Why have you got that stubborn look to your mouth? Lite, see here.
Comments that were perfectly obvious they made, it is true. Jean said it was perfectly awful, and Lite agreed with her. Jean wondered how it could have happened, and Lite said he didn't know. Neither of them said anything about the effect it would have upon their future; I don't suppose that Jean, at least, could remotely guess at the effect. It is certain that Lite preferred not to do so.
Lite could save a half mile by bearing off to the north and entering the coulee at the eastern side and riding up through the pasture. He wanted to see how the grass was coming on, anyway. The last rain should have given it a fresh start. He was in no great hurry, after all; he had merely been bored with Jim's company and wanted to go on alone. And then he could get the fire started for Jean.
I moves that th' idee's done died a-bornin', an' that we bury her. All that agrees, say so; any agin it, say so, 'n' then git their guns an' come outside." There were no dissenting votes. Lee's motion was unanimously carried. "Lee's plumb right," whispered McTigh; "that kid's got it harder an' worse than airy feller I ever heerd tell of, too hard for us to lite in stringin' him 'bout it.
Robert Grant Burns found himself very much in the position which Lite had occupied for three years. He had well-defined ideas upon the subject before them, and he had the outer semblance of authority; but his ideas and his authority had no weight whatever with Jean, since she had made up her mind.
"What do you make of it?" he asked Lite. "Do you believe ?" "Of course I don't! Great question for a brother to ask," Lite retorted sharply. "It's not in Aleck to do a thing like that." "What made you say you saw him ride home? You didn't, did you?" "You heard what I said; take it or leave it." Lite scowled down at Carl. "What was there queer about it? Why "
Do you know about " Jean caught herself on the verge of betrayal. "You want to keep your gun handy. Just on general principles," Lite remonstrated. "You can't tell; it's away off from everywhere." "I won't have Hepsy Atwood. Haven't I enough to drive me mad, without her?" "Is there anybody else that you'd rather have?" Lite looked at her speculatively. "No, there isn't. I won't have anybody.
Sometimes she was sure that Art Osgood was the murderer, and would argue and point out her reasons to Lite. Art had been working for her uncle, and rode often to the Lazy A. He had not been friendly with Johnny Croft, but then, nobody had been very friendly with Johnny Croft.
