When the man's face was turning purple and his eyes rolling wildly, Conway released his death-grip and his victim fell back on the mattress, whereupon Bill Conway sat down on the edge of the bed and watched life surge back into the little brown man. "If you let one little peep out of you, Okada," he threatened and snarled ferociously. "Please, please," Okada pleaded.
It is Farrel's wish that the matter be forgotten by everybody concerned." "I have already forgotten it, my friend," the urbane Don Nicolás replied graciously, and Bill Conway departed forthwith for the Hotel de Las Rosas. "Got a Jap name of Okada stopping here?" he demanded, and was informed that Mr. Okada occupied room 17, but that he was ill and could not be seen.
Okada," he began, "our deal has become a trifle complicated by reason of the wholly unexpected return of Mr. Miguel Farrel." "Very great misfortune," Okada sympathized. "Very great disappointment." Mrs. Parker favored him with a look of violent dislike and departed abruptly, much to Okada's relief. Immediately he drew his chair close to Parker's. "You zink Mr.
Okada, I cannot make a move until Miguel Farrel fails to redeem the property at the expiration of the redemption period, one year hence." "Perhaps that sheeps-man kill Mr. Farrel," Okada suggested, hopefully. "I hoping, for sake of Japanese people, that sheeps-man very bad luck for Mr. Farrel." "Well, I wouldn't care to have him for an enemy.
"At any rate," Parker observed, "our host isn't letting the grass grow under his feet. I wonder if he'll attach Loustalot's automobile. It's new, and worth about eight thousand dollars. Well, we shall see what we shall see." "I zink I take little walk. 'Scuse me, please," said Okada, and bowed to Parker and his wife.
Are you willing to admit that Pablo Artelan is not my equal?" he challenged suddenly. "Certainly!" Kay and her father both cried in unison. "Very well. Is Mr. Okada my equal?" "He is Pablo's superior," Parker felt impelled to declare. "He is not your equal," Kay declared firmly. "Dad, you're begging the question." "We-ll, no," he assented, "Not from the Anglo-Saxon point of view.
"I believe you are a very shrewd young man, Don Mike," the girl answered, sadly. "I think your plan will be much more likely to produce half a million dollars of what you call 'getaway money' than my suggestion that a friend run up the price on father at the sale. But how do you know Okada will pay cash?" "I do not know.
Okada has been solemnly assured that, in dealing with certain white men, they will insist upon an eye for an optic and a tusk for a tooth; he knows that if he starts anything further he will go straight to that undiscovered country where the woodbine twineth and the whangdoodle mourneth for its mate." "What has become of Okada?" "He has dragged it out of here drifted and went hence for keeps."
Piece after piece of the ancient adobe came away, until presently the bases of the iron bars lay exposed; whereupon Okada seized them, one by one, in his hands and bent them upward and outward, backward and forward, until he was enabled to remove them altogether. Then he stole quietly back to the blacksmith shop, restored the bolt-clippers, went to the Basque's automobile, and waited.
Okada, and you are all invited out to the corral after luncheon to see me bust Panchito's wild young brother for my own use." "Oh, splendid!" Kay cried, enthusiastically. "The day starts more auspiciously than I had hoped," her mother declared. "I really believe the Rancho Palomar is going to develop into a regular place with you around, Mr. Farrel."
