I gave it, trembling lest you might notice my hat and coat; but you did not you only said: 'What would I do if I woke up some night and didn't have a mother? Lyn, dear, I went back and stayed!" Lynda had thought her mother's mind wandering so she patted the seeking hands and murmured gently to her. Then, suddenly: "Lyn, when I married your father I thought I loved him but I loved another!
Sometimes I think she hides them to prove her gratitude and affection, and because she is so helpless. She was nearly five when she came to you, Lyn, and I believe she does remember the hills and her mother!" "Why, Betty, what makes you think this?" Lynda was appalled. "It is her eyes. There are moments when she is looking back far back. She is trying to hold to something that is escaping her.
Those religious, who at their death were found to possess property were to be buried in unconsecrated ground. But another and more insidious danger had arisen. In many of the Carmelite houses of Germany the new doctrines had been more than favourably received; and at Strassburg, the rector, Tilmann Lyn had been deprived of his office for having openly preached the Lutheran heresy.
"You've done the one big thing, Lyn!" "Not yet, not yet, Con, dear." "You have made me realize what a wrong a bitter wrong I did you, when I thought you could be less than a loving woman." "Oh, Con! And have you been lonely, too?" "Sweet, I should have died of loneliness had something not told me I was still travelling up toward you. That has made it possible."
Piegan was already mounted, watching us whimsically from under the dripping brim of his hat. I shook hands with Lyn, and swung into my saddle. And when Mac had kissed her, we crowded through a gap in the circle of wagons, waved a last good-by, and rode away in the steadily falling rain. From then until near noon we worked our passage if ever men did.
"It beats me why these two old cowmen should be here in this country, tangled up with buried gold-dust, and being hunted like beasts for its possession. Old Hans was certainly in his right mind or he wouldn't have known us; and if he told us right, Hank Rowan has been murdered too. If Lyn is at Walsh, she may be able to shed some light on this.
Personally, the paymaster's trouble was none of my concern; what I wanted was to get back that ten thousand dollars, or deal those hounds ten thousand dollars' worth of misery. Not that I wasn't willing to take a long chance to help Lyn to her own, but I was human enough to remember that I had a good deal at stake myself.
Even though Rutter had declared she would be at Walsh, I wasn't prepared to believe it was Lyn Rowan. Sometimes five years will work a wonderful change in a woman; or is it that time and distance work some subtle transition in one's recollection? She didn't give me much time to indulge in guesswork, though.
Not a word has passed her lips here of her mother or home. It has amazed me. She's the most unusual, the most fascinating creature I ever saw, for her age. Brace is wild about her he wants me to keep her. But, Lyn, if she does break her strange silence, it will be your big hour!
Then, as if to divert any further misunderstanding. "And when I refused it it would have reverted to charities." "I see. And you did this for me, Lyn! How little even you understood. Now that I have the cursed money I do not know what to do with it how to get rid of it. Still it was like you, Lynda, to sacrifice yourself in order that I might have what you thought was my due.
