I say to Golemar, 'We will closer go, ne c'est pas? A step or two then three but he do not move then pretty soon I look again, close. Eet is a man, I pick heem up, like this and I bring heem home. Ne c'est pas, Medaine?" Her name was Medaine then. Not bad, Barry thought.
They had found Tom Langdon dead, with his skull crushed, evidently by the blow of a club or a hammer. They said I did it." A slight gasp traveled over the lips of Medaine, still by the window. Ba'tiste, his features old and lined, reached out with one big hand and patted the man on the shoulder. Then for a long time, there was silence. "Eet is the lie, eh?"
Long time he look for Medaine. But no. Then " his face suddenly contorted " one night in the cathedral at St. Menehould, I find heem. But Pierre not know his père. He not answer Ba'teese when he call 'Pierre! Pierre! Here, and here, and here " the big man pointed to his breast and face and arms "was the shrapnel. He sigh in my arms then he is gone. Ba'teese ask that night for duty on the line.
"Nor, pardon, the practice of politeness. Ba'teese will not need your help." "Whether you need it or not, I'll come back when you're through with this infernal horseplay. "Ba'teese choose his guests." "You mean " "Ba'teese mean what he say." "Very well, then. Come on, Medaine." The girl, apparently without a thought of the air of proprietorship in the man's tone, rose, only to face Ba'tiste.
The next morning he went to Denver, still wondering, as he sought to make himself comfortable on the old red plush seats, wondering whether the girl he had seen in the forest with the man he now felt sure was Fred Thayer had been Agnes Jierdon or Medaine Robinette, whom, in spite of her coldness to him, in spite of her evident distaste and revulsion that was so apparent in their meetings, had awakened within him a thing he had believed, in the drabness of his gray, harassed life, could never exist, the thrill and the yearnings of love.
I won't go with you, and I won't see you until you can apologize." "There's nothing to apologize for!" Thayer jammed on his hat and stamped angrily out the door. Medaine watched him with laughing eyes. "He'll write me a letter to-night," came quietly. Then, "Lost Wing!" "Ugh!" It was a grunt from outside. "I just wanted to be sure you were there. Call me when Mr. Thayer has passed the ridge."
To open them in self-extenuation would mean that she must be brought into it; for she had been the one who had clinched the points of suspicion in the mind of Medaine Robinette. Were he now to speak of proof that she had lied It was impossible.
Work over, Houston leaned out the door of the bunk car, drinking in the sunshine, warm for the first time in weeks, it seemed, and warm in heart and spirit. If she would only keep her promise! If she would allow Medaine to see her! If she would tell her the truth, about the contract, the lease, and most of all that accusation. If The whistles again, and crowded forms at the doors of the cars.
Two persons were approaching the cabin from the opposite hill, a girl whom he was glad to see, and a man who walked, or rather rolled, in the background: Medaine Robinette and a sort of rear guard who, twenty or thirty feet behind her, followed her every step, trotted when she ran down the steep side of an embankment, then slowed as she came to a walk again.
He glanced down to see Medaine Robinette's hand, clasped tight. "'She spent nearly the whole summer here, and I made love to her. I asked her to marry me, and she told me that she would. She was really very much in love with me. I didn't care about her I was working for a purpose. I wanted to use her to get her in Houston's office.
