He thought of riding to Nyland's ranch, but he gave up that idea when he reasoned that perhaps Colton had failed, and in that case Nyland wouldn't be the most gentle person in the world to face on his own property. If Colton had succeeded he would find him, in Okar. So he mounted his horse and rode to Okar. The town seemed to be deserted when he dismounted in front of the City Hotel.
I'm goin' to cash in, eh?" Nyland nodded and the man sighed. He closed his eyes for an instant, but opened them slightly at Nyland's question: "What did you do to Peggy? Where is she?" The man was sinking fast, and it seemed that he hardly comprehended Nyland's question. The latter repeated it, and the man replied weakly: "She's over in Okar at Maison's in his rooms. She "
The engineer waved a yellow paper at Sanderson and shouted: "I just got this. I made a hit with the Okar agent last week, and he sent a man over with it. That's a damned scoundrelly bunch that's working against you! Do you know what they've done?" Sanderson said nothing, and the engineer resumed, explosively: "They've tied up your money at the Lazette bank!
Sorav, Talu had told us, was the commander of the forces of the palace, and as men from the further cities of Okar and especially Illall were less likely to be tainted with the germ of intrigue which had for years infected the household of Salensus Oll, he was sure that we would be welcomed and few questions asked us.
It was not Okar that looked strange, nor the men, it was himself. He went to the bank building and entered the rear door, clumping heavily up the stairs, for he felt a heavy depression. When he opened the door at the top of the stairs night had come. A kerosene lamp on a table in the room blinded him for an instant, and he stood, blinking at it.
Now the guardsmen were forcing the Princess of Helium up the few steps to the side of the tyrant of Okar, and I had no eyes and no thoughts for aught else. A priest opened a book and, raising his hand, commenced to drone out a sing-song ritual. Salensus Oll reached for the hand of his bride.
"He is connected with the railroad company a promoter, or something of that character. He is trying to make a boom town of Okar. He has bought a great deal of land in the basin." "You know what he wants the land for?" Sanderson smiled at her. "For speculation purposes, I suppose. If he could get water " "You've figured it out," said Sanderson. "But he won't get water.
Inwardly, Sanderson was writhing with impatience and consumed with an eagerness to get into personal contact with his enemies, the passion to triumph had gripped his soul, and a contempt for the sort of law in which Okar dealt had grown upon him until the contemplation of it had aroused in him a savage humor.
Sanderson had intended to use the four thousand on the Double A irrigation project. The sum, together with the three thousand he meant to draw from the Okar bank, would have been enough to make a decent start. Sanderson had some bitter thoughts as he sat on the edge of the cot, all of them centering around Dale, Silverthorn, Maison, Owen, Mary Bransford, and himself.
At noon he halted in a screen of timber and grinned felinely. "They're off, for certain," he said aloud. Late that afternoon the man was in Okar, talking with Dale and Silverthorn and Maison. "What you've been expectin' has happened," he told them. "Sanderson, Carter, an' six men are on the move with a trail herd. They're headed straight on for Las Vegas."
