Echo and her father, who was looking after his own cattle on the round-up, rode up to the chuck-wagon, after Parenthesis and Sage-brush crossed the valley to mete out justice to Peruna and fight out any attempts at a rescue. Dismounting, Echo walked wearily to the fire and sat down on a box. Bravely though she tried to conceal it, the strain was beginning to tell upon her.
With a groan he fell; weakly he tried to level his gun, his finger twitching convulsively at the trigger. Peruna waited to see if he had strength enough to fire. A sneering smile added to the evil appearance of his face. Seeing Buck helpless, he snatched the gun from his hand. Then he turned his victim over so he could reach the pocket of his waistcoat.
Sage-brush, as foreman, explained: "This yere's Peruna of the Lazy K outfit." Allen looked at the prisoner, who maintained a sullen silence. "What's he been doin'?" "Mostly everything, but Fresno caught red-handed brandin' one of our yearlin's," cried Sage-brush. "It's a lie!" broke in Peruna, glancing doggedly from one to another of his guards.
It is accepted as one of the natural and necessary adjuncts of life like eating and sleeping and lovemaking. It is an item in their pharmacopoeia. They do not make a business of pleasure any more than the Englishman makes a business of walking, or the American of drinking Peruna or the German of beerbibbing. For this reason, pleasure in Vienna is not elaborate and external.
Polly galloped after the men, saying: "Gee, I'll miss something if I don't hurry up." Peruna Pulls His Freight
"Hol' on a minute, I got something to say about that!" "Out with it," growled Sage-brush. "Las' time there was an affair at that cottonwood the rope broke, an' the hoss-thief dropped into the creek, swum acrost, and got away." Sage-brush glared grimly at Peruna. "Well, we'll see that the rope don't break with you." In all seriousness Peruna replied: "I hope so. I can't swim."
Of course if it is and love is listed as an intoxicant, the blind god will be expatriated for the benefit of the makers of Peruna, Hostetter's Bitters and and other palate ticklers, popular only at blind tigers. Why the deuce didn't the Seymourites set to work and settle this vexatious problem for themselves?
After Peruna had been visited with his punishment, Echo retraced her steps. Bowing to her, hat in hand, Buck made his apologies. "Ma'am, I'm plumb sorry. My mother was a Cherokee squaw, but I'm white in some spots. If you'll let your ranch boss come along with us, we'll settle this brandin'-business right now."
Having assumed a chivalrous role in the Peruna incident, he was tasting something of the sweet sensations and experiences that follow a sincerely generous action. Smiles and pleasant greetings from Polly, who had heretofore met him with venomous looks and stinging words, were balm to his soul. He felt well-satisfied with himself and kindly toward the whole world.
Peruna raised himself on one arm. "No, I'll be " he began. Buck bent over him, speaking in a low tone, tensely and quickly. "Quick! I don't want to have to kill you. You damn' fool, don't you see what I'm playin' fer?" "He ain't fit to live!" shouted Show Low. Buck turned on the cowboy. It was his fight, and he was going to handle it in his own fashion. "Lem me handle this case," he interrupted.
