Neither spoke for a time that seemed long, and then it was Clementina who spoke. "But it isn't true!" "Oh, yes, it is," said Gregory, as before. "Mr. Hinkle doesn't believe it is," she urged. "Mr. Hinkle?" "He's an American who's staying in Florence. He came this mo'ning to tell me about it. Even if he's drowned Mr. Hinkle believes he didn't mean to; he must have just fallen in."
Pretty soon he met Jimmy Skunk who had always been one of Unc' Billy's best friends. Jimmy was looking under every stick and stone for beetles for his breakfast. "Good mo'ning, Neighbor Skunk!" said Unc' Billy in his heartiest voice. Jimmy Skunk, who never hurries, kept right on pulling over sticks and stones just as if he didn't see or hear Unc' Billy at all.
"Ah watched yo' take a long walk this mo'ning, Brer Possum," said Ol' Mistah Buzzard. "Did yo', indeed; yo' have keen eyes, Mistah Buzzard!" replied Unc' Billy. "Ah saw yo' meet a lot of yo' friends. It's fine to have a lot of friends, isn't it, Brer Possum?" said Ol' Mistah Buzzard. Unc' Billy looked at Ol' Mistah Buzzard sharply.
She came up noiselessly behind him, but his trained senses were apprised of her approach. "Good mo'ning! How did y'u find your bedroom?" he asked, without turning from the bacon he was broiling on the end of a stick. "Quite up to the specifications. With all Wyoming for a floor and the sky for a ceiling, I never had a room I liked better. But have you eyes in the back of your head?"
"There ain't a bit of use in y'u exposing yourself so careless. Y'u take a hot footbath and some of that medicine, Denver, then go right straight to bed, and in the mo'ning y'u'll be good as new. Honest, y'u won't know yourself." "Y'u got the best heart, Mac." Nora giggled. "Since I'm foreman I got to be a mother to y'u boys, ain't I?"
You wouldn't think to look at him York was sick. He looks plumb husky. But looks are right deceptive. It's a fact, Miss Mackenzie, that he was so sick last night I wasn't dead sure he'd live till mo'ning." The eyes of the men met like rapiers. Neil said nothing, and Leroy dropped him from his mind as if he were a trifle and devoted his attention to Alice. "Breakfast is ready, Miss Mackenzie.
You would stand between her and trouble?" the other demanded abruptly. "I expect." "Then find out for me what Phil Sanderson did with the knife his sister lent him two days ago. Find out whether he lent it to anybody, and, if so, who." "What for?" It had come to a show-down, and the other tabled his cards. "I found that knife yesterday mo'ning.
As soon as Johnny saw him, he turned his back squarely towards Unc' Billy and pretended to be very much interested in something way off in the other direction. Unc' Billy came to a stop about two feet behind Johnny Chuck. "A-hem!" said Unc' Billy. Johnny Chuck sat there without moving, just as if he hadn't heard. "It's a fine mo'ning," said Unc' Billy in his pleasantest voice.
Unc' Billy watched her out of sight and grinned broadly. "As sho' as Brer Sun gets up to-morrow mo'ning, Ol' Granny Fox will be there," he chuckled. "Ah must get word to Brer Porky and Brer Skunk and Brer Rabbit."
"Looks like something's broke loose," the young man drawled aloud. "The band's sure playing a right lively tune this glad mo'ning." Save for one or two farewell shots, the firing ceased. The riders had disappeared into the chaparral. The rider did not need to be told that this was a man hunt, destined perhaps to be one of a hundred unwritten desert tragedies.
