Leaving Ramblin' Peter behind to watch every event and fetch him word if anything important should transpire, he set out and reached the desolated cottage in the evening of the day on which his friend was shot.
I'll get the 'pills' for you to-night " "No killin', Sabota!" Gyp warned. "Just enough to put him out for an hour or two!" the Greek answered. Wednesday night the Ramblin' Kid slept in the stall with the Gold Dust maverick and Captain Jack. Thursday he remained close to the horses. Thursday night he again slept on a pile of hay in one corner of the box-compartment.
"Pretty dead-lookin'," the Ramblin' Kid remarked. "Let's go down to Sabota's." "All right," Skinny replied, and they moved down the street. The pool-room offered nothing of interest.
They had reached the east end of the Grassmarket as she spoke, and had turned into it before she observed that they were going wrong, but Wallace explained that he had been directed by Black to call on Ramblin' Peter, who lived there, and procure from him some turning-tools.
The Ramblin' Kid left the Gold Dust maverick in the circular corral and rode Captain Jack to Eagle Butte. It would be necessary for him to register the filly, with the entry judges, on the first day of the Rodeo if she was to run in the two-mile sweepstakes.
The deftness and skill with which the girl handled the horse she rode forced a smile of admiration to the lips of the Ramblin' Kid. She sat close in the saddle and a glance showed she was a born master of horses. "She's a wonder," he said to himself, "a teetotal wonder " A shade of melancholy passed over his face.
"Don't worry about the saddle, I can get new riding gear lots easier than Old Heck could have got another niece!" "Carolyn June needs a saddle of her own," Ophelia suggested. "I am going to get one; and then I'll ride the Gold Dust maverick!" "I doubt if th' Ramblin' Kid will let you ride the filly," Parker said, "he's funny that way " "I think he will," Carolyn June interposed.
He yanked out his gun and started to pull a drop on old Jack's head. Th' Ramblin' Kid jerked his own forty-four and told Tony he'd kill him if he shot the renegade broncho. Tony backed up, but it made him sore and he fired th' Ramblin' Kid.
Black devils of torture clutched the throat, the mind, the body of the Ramblin' Kid. Streams of fire seemed to be flowing through his veins. He couldn't see he was blind. "What th' what th' hell!" he muttered over and over. He was vaguely conscious of the thunder of hoofs around him under him. Dimly, black shadows were rushing along at his side. He fought with all his will to master his faculties.
"How was that?" Carolyn June inquired carelessly. "Captain Jack was an outlaw, too," Bert explained. "He run over on the East Mesa on the Una de Gata. Charley and me and th' Ramblin' Kid got him to going one day when there was some ranch mares in his bunch. One of them was a hand-raised filly, was a pet and she was well, pretty hot!
