But he go. Ba'teese want him to go. Julienne, she say nothing she cry at night. But she want him to go too. Medaine, she tell funny stories about her age and she go too. It was lonely. Ba'teese was big. Ba'teese was strong. And Julienne say to him, 'You too you go. You may save a life. And Ba'teese went." "To France?" Ba'tiste bowed his head. "Long time Ba'teese look for his Pierre.
His path led once by the home of Medaine Robinette, and he clambered toward the little house with little more of feeling than of approaching that of the most unfamiliar ranchman. Smoke was coming from the chimney. There were the marks of snowshoes. But they might mean nothing in the battle for existence. Houston scrambled up to the veranda and banged on the door.
"Do you suppose it would help?" The girl was truly serious now. "Why not?" "I don't think " Thayer had edged forward, nervously. Ba'tiste pushed him gently. "Peuff! And when did M'sieu Thayer become l' M'sieu Doctaire? Ba'teese say ask him if he like you." Medaine laughed. "Do you like me?" Brown eyes met blue eyes. A smile passed between them.
Almost to Ba'tiste's cabin he went; at last to turn from the road at the sound of hoofbeats, then to stare as Medaine Robinette, on horseback, passed him at a trot, headed toward her home, the shadowy Lost Wing, on his calico pony, straggling along in the rear.
We'll stop by the cottage down here and see Miss Jierdon; then I'm gone!" "She no there. She, what-you-say, smash up 'quaintance with Medaine. She ask to go there and stay day or two." "Then she'll straighten things out, Ba'tiste. I'm glad of it. She knows the truth about this whole thing every step of the way. Will you tell her?" "Oui.
Some one else owns the other side of the lake and the land on the opposite bank of the stream." "Oui. Medaine Robinette." "Honestly? Is it hers?" "When she is twenty-one. But go on." "Father wouldn't leave me the mill. He seemed to have a notion that I'd sell it all off and he tied everything up in a way to keep me from doing anything like that. The mill is rented to me.
He like to feel big and strong to help other people. So, down here where there were few he came, and built his cabin, with his Pierre and his Julienne. And, so happy! Then, by'm'by, Jacques Robinette come too, with his petite Medaine " "That's the girl who was here?" "Ah, oui. I am l' M'sieu Doctaire. I look after the sick for ten twenty thirty mile. Jacques he have more head. He buy land."
Want to walk a piece down the road with me, Medaine?" "Of course. It's too bad, isn't it " Then they faded through the doorway, and Barry could hear no more.
They were the housing place of the wide spaces where the streams ran through green valleys, where the sagebrush dotted the plateau plains, and where the world was a thing with a rim about it; hills soft blue and brown and gray and burning red in the sunlight, black, crumpled velvet beneath the moon and stars; hills where the pines grew, where his life awaited him, a new thing to be remolded nearer to his own desires, and where lived Ba'tiste, Agnes and Medaine.
He ceased his soliloquy as he glanced ahead and noticed the trim figure of Medaine Robinette swinging along the road, old Lost Wing, as usual, trailing in her rear, astride a calico pony and leading the saddle horse which she evidently had become tired of riding. A small switch was in one hand, and she flipped it at the new leaves of the aspens and the broad-leafed mullens beside the road.
