Who told them to? Who told them to look by the porch? How did they know before they got there where to look first? You've seen this pistol here it's Joe Rainey's pistol and here is something my astute friend overlooked; one of the cartridges is out the rest are there one is clear out, not shot, exploded, with the shell left, but clear out. How did that happen?
"One of the Shageluk squaws can do that sort of thing." "What's the fur?" "Musk-rat." And they talked of the weather how the mercury last week had been solid in the trading-post thermometer, so it was "over forty degrees, anyhow." "What's the market price of a coat like that?" Mac said suddenly. "That isn't a 'market' coat. It's for a kid of Rainey's back in the States."
The girl, Rainey decided, was humoring Lund, seeking to know how with her feminine methods she might control him, keep him within bounds. Her coldness, it seemed, she had cast aside as an expedient that might prove too provoking and worthless. And Rainey's valuation of her resources increased.
The two men on the deck still lay there. Rainey's opponent was trying to get up, wiping clumsily at the blood on his face, blinded. The girl still stood by the rail. Back of the wrestling mass stood the seamen, offering to take no part, their arms aswing like apes, their dull faces working. Tamada stood by the forward companion, his arms folded, indifferent, neutral.
Light-hearted, I thinks, an' young, most likely; he'll help a stranded man. Give me the touch of yore arm, matey, an' I'll stow this spar of mine." He swung about, slinging the curving handle of the stick over his right elbow as the fingers of his left hand placed themselves on Rainey's proffered arm. Strong fingers, almost vibrant with a force manifest through serge and linen.
Beale was the worst off, but Tamada pronounced him not vitally damaged. After he had finished with them he insisted upon Rainey's lying, face down, on the table, stripped to the waist, while he rubbed him with oil and then kneaded him. Once he gave a sudden, twisting wrench, and Rainey saw a blur of stars as something snapped into place with a click.
The barkeep deals to him, an' Caribou Sam is assuaged. "'When he goes to pay, a gent who's standin' near shoves back his dust, an' says: "This is Jack Rainey's week it's the great annyooal festival of Jack Rainey, an' your money's no good."
If I go into the convention for him, faithful to him, and, out of the highest sense of justice, explain that, even though Lane has been my closest friend, he was in the wrong and that " Mary rose to her feet and went to her son and clung to him. "No, no!" she cried; "no, no!" "I've got to!" he said. "What is that you must do, Hector?" It was Miss Rainey's voice, and came from just behind me.
"'Rainey turns in an' charters every bar in Lido, an' gets his brand onto all the nose- paint. He's out to give the camp an orgy, an' not a gent can spend a splinter or lose a chip to any bar for a week. Them's Jack Rainey's commands.
There ain't enough real manhood in that Carlsen to grease a skillet. How about it, Rainey; are you lined up with me?" "Just as far as I can go, Lund. I'm with you to the limit." Lund brought down his hand with a mighty swing, and caught at Rainey's in mid-air, gripping it till Rainey bit his lips to repress a cry of pain.
