At last Kate lit a candle and said, "I must show you to your room." She talked cheerily going upstairs. On the landing she opened the door of the room above the hall, and went into it, and drew down the blind. She was still full of good spirits, said perhaps he had no night-shirt, so she had left out one of Pete's, hoped he would find it big enough, and laughed again.
I'll be back right soon." "Not at all! Go ahead!" Forbes wanted to hear more of first-hand experiences south of the line. Forbes, who knew something of Pete's history, shrewdly suspected that the stranger called "Bill" had a good reason to ride wide of Tucson although the Easterner did not quite understand why Pete should ride into town alone. But that was merely incidental.
Was any promotion in the world to be set against one throb of Pete's simple joy, one gleam of the auroral radiance that lights up a poor man's home when he is first a father, one moment of divine partnership in the babe that is fresh from God? Three weeks later, Pete took his wife home in Cæsar's gig.
"Would you write to The Spider and say I delivered the goods?" "But who is he where " "Jim Ewell, Showdown over in Arizona." "Jim Ewell, Showdown, Arizona." she repeated. "And what name shall I sign?" "Jest Pete," he whispered, and his eyes closed. Pete's case puzzled Andover, the head-surgeon at, the General.
Pete had said, although he believed the storekeeper. Pete wanted to hear more. "Most Mexicans ain't," replied Roth, for Pete's statement was half a challenge, half a question. "But José Montoya never backed down from a fight and he's had plenty." Pete was interested. He determined to visit Montoya's camp that evening. He said nothing to Roth, as he intended to return.
But" she drew a big breath, like a climber who has reached the height "but I came to you, didn't I?" Hugh's eyes widened, the pupils swallowing her light. "You you came to me? Not for Pete's sake?" "Never for his sake." "But, Bella you laughed at me." "Yes, once, for your poor folly in trying to be what you are not. When have I ever laughed at what you are?
Annersley was a trifle surprised that the boy consented to stay without demur. Annersley might have known that Young Pete's very silence was significant; but the old man was troubled and only too glad to find his young partner so amenable to his suggestion.
In the silence that followed Pete's rather rasping voice was heard "I ain't got no best girl!" "Ye're in luck," groaned Dan. "This may break pore Mame's heart. When I'm gone, she'll remember that onst I was the greatest thing on this green earth to her." Presently Pete remarked: "Surgeon an' pathologist is the Perfessor." "Meanin'?" "Like as not he'll operate." "Operate?"
"Did you get me?" "I got you, friend." Conniston put out his hand for the bread and caught a gleam of sparkling amusement in Lonesome Pete's eyes from across the table. "And maybe after you tell me who you are I might answer you." "Me!" thundered the big man, lurching one step nearer, his under jaw thrust still farther out. "Me! I'm Brayley, that's who I am!
He was going to say more, but just then Bannon strode into the office and over to the draughting table. He tossed Pete's hat to one side and began studying a detail of the machinery plans. "Max." He spoke without looking up. "I wish you'd find a water boy and send him up to the hotel to get a couple of sandwiches and a bottle of coffee."
