Its buildings were of frame, hurriedly knocked together, representing the haste of a people in whom the pioneer instinct was strong and compelling who cared nothing for appearances, but who fought mightily for wealth and progress. Upon Okar was the stamp of newness, and in its atmosphere was the eagerness and the fervor of commercialism.
I was reasonably hungry and thirsty by this time, not having tasted food or drink since the day prior to my incarceration. To my amazement I found the sides of the pit, that I had thought smooth, lined with shelves, upon which were the most delicious viands and liquid refreshments that Okar afforded.
Okar was the trade mart of a section of country larger than some of the Old World states. Fringing the hitching rails in front of its buildings were various vehicles the heavy wagons of Mexican freighters, the light buckboard of the cattleman, and the prairie schooner of the homesteader.
Fortunate for Okar is it that you were here to prevent their escape, for these be the greatest villains north of the ice-barrier, and this one" pointing to the leader of the party "would have made himself Jeddak of Jeddaks in the place of the dead Salensus Oll. Then indeed would we have had a more villainous ruler than the hated tyrant who fell before your sword."
In Okar was typified the spirit of the West that was to be the intense hustle and movement that were to make the town as large and as powerful as many of its sister cities. Threading his way through the crowd on the board walk, Sanderson collided with a man.
I went personally to Okar and was told by Silverthorn that the railroad would accept no material consigned to the Double A ranch." "Pretty raw," was Sanderson's only comment. "Raw? It's rotten!" declared Williams. "There's plenty of the kind of material we want in Lazette. To get it here would mean a fifty-mile haul. I can get teams and wagons in Lazette," he added, an eager note in his voice.
And such retribution as that unconquered army would deal out to the hateful Okarians! I sighed to think that I might not be alive to witness it. Again I turned to the windows. The red men had not yet forced the outer palace wall, but they were fighting nobly against the best that Okar afforded valiant warriors who contested every inch of the way.
Me an' my men has come over to get the money an' Mr. Sanderson. The Okar court allows that it needs him. I've got a warrant for him." Dale's grin was huge. He felt secure with his men behind him. But if he expected Sanderson to be impressed he was disappointed. The latter's face did not change color, nor did he shift his position in the slightest manner.
The trappings of warriors of Okar aided in the deception; and for wear beyond the hothouse cities we each had suits of the black- and yellow-striped orluk. Talu gave us careful directions for the journey to Kadabra, the capital city of the Okar nation, which is the racial name of the yellow men.
The posse halted Nyland, thinking he might be Dale, but upon discovering the error allowed the man to proceed after he had told them that Sanderson was safe and was riding toward the Bar D. Sanderson, Nyland said, was after Dale. He did not say that he, too, wanted to see Dale. "Dale!" mocked the sheriff, "Barney Owen hung him!" "Dale's alive, an' in Okar or somewhere!"
