It's the Jensen outfit, I could make that out from where I stood." "Hell!" Stamping angrily across the floor, Santry gazed out into the twilight. "That dirty, low-lived Swede? But we'll fix him, boy. I know his breed, the skunk! I'll...." The veins in the old plainsman's throat stood out and the pupils of his eyes contracted. "I'll run his blamed outfit out of the valley before noon termorrer.
Miss Deringham had read enough to learn that pistol and bandolier had long gone out of fashion in Western Canada, where, indeed, they had rarely formed a necessary portion of the plainsman's attire, but she had expected a little vivid colour and dash of romance.
I could not speak then, for one sentence was ringing in my ears "I was always thinking of you." In those years when Beverly and I had put away all thoughts of sweethearts they could not be a part of the plainsman's life before us sweethearts such as older boys in school boasted about, "she was always thinking of me."
Colonel Roosevelt certainly didn't look dead. If ever a man looked rugged and healthy and in splendid physical condition he certainly did on the day that this despatch reached him. His cheeks were burned to a ruddy tan and his eyes were as clear as a plainsman's. He laughed and joked and commented on the news that we told him with all the enthusiasm of one who knows no physical cares or worries.
Nor was Reddy the only young man who had dreams those days at the Lazy D. Cupid must have had his hands full, for his darts punctured more than one honest plainsman's heart. The reputation of the young women at the Lazy D seemed to travel on the wings of the wind, and from far and near Cattleland sent devotees to this shrine of youth and beauty.
Bob, however, did not hurry on his return to the ranch, his mind being occupied with trying to find the reason for the grizzled plainsman's evident liking for him and his kindness, so at variance with his usual manner. But the puzzle was too difficult for him, and he finally abandoned it to dismount and practice the things the agent had taught him.
One man's too few to be travelin' so fur from civilization." "Come up to the cabin for the night," Asher said, with a plainsman's courtesy. "Thank you, no. Hope to see you again nearer to the Lord's ground; losin' game here. Good-by." Asher did not look like a disappointed man when he reached the Sunflower Inn.
"You have n't got the plainsman's eyes yet. Watch, now; I 'm going to stir the fellow up." He leaned forward, the stock of the Henry held to his shoulder, and she clutched the window-casing. An instant the muzzle of the rifle wavered slightly, then steadied into position. "Have to guess the distance," he muttered in explanation, and pulled the trigger.
It was noticed, however, and this struck a chord of answering sympathy in the plainsman's imaginative temperament, that, though on ordinary nights he might come in and stay with the herd under shelter, on nights of driving storm, if the tempest blew from the west or northwest, Last Bull was sure to be out on the naked knoll to face it.
Under further orders, they dragged the trunk down into the bar-room. It was broken open and found to contain nothing but clothes of the plainsman's cut, material, and state of wear; a neatly folded Mexican saddle showing use, and a raw-hide quirt. "Hell of a tenderfoot!" said Black Hank, contemptuously. The outlaws had already scattered outside to look for the trail.
