It was a pity that people could be so unscrupulous as to take advantage of a bargain made in good faith. That was blackmail. However, the prestige of the Nelson name was great, the power of its money was potent, and Henry believed that he could protect himself from eventualities. After cautious deliberation he sent word to one of his men in the Ranger field that he wished to see him.
Ranger to ruddy health, and the physician pronounced him almost cured of his heart ailment. The boys spent happy hours on the ranch, entering into friendly contests in everything from roping a steer to saddling a frisky horse. The cowboys could not show them enough attention, and Cactus Ike even apologized to Jack for the trick he played on him.
"That part is easy, at least," returned the other. "Though the circumstance of our meeting is a temptation to lie." "Which would do you no good, and might lead to unpleasant complications," retorted the Ranger, sharply. The man under question, still embarrassed, laughed shortly, as he returned, "I really was not thinking of it seriously. My name is Aaron King. I am an artist. You are Mr.
Oh, sure, a Ranger could execute rebels and create nobility, instead of spanking a kid or giving him a puppy, and the Lords operated on an even larger scale but it was the same principle. And wasn't a kid with a puppy yet another example of that principle?
Aaron King explained how he had heard the music while fishing; and how, following the sound, he had acted upon an impulse to catch a glimpse of the unknown musician before revealing himself; and then, in his interest, had forgotten that he was playing the part of a spy until so rudely aroused by the hand of the Ranger.
The ranger, who had lost his own wife and children in the distemper, and had himself escaped, had lost all fear of the contagion indeed he cared little whether he lived or died; and when he heard upon what errand the youths were bent, he declared he would gladly come with them, for the solitude of his cottage was so oppressive to him that he would have welcomed even a plague-stricken guest sooner than be left much longer with only his hounds and his own thoughts for company.
Eleanor had sprung forward with white lips. "It's Fordie! He's taking the sheep to the Rim Rocks with the Mexican herders. Don't frighten his mother! It may not be too late! He may not have reached the Rim " "Let's telephone that Ranger fellow?" Then, it all dawned on her, the deadly, suave, incredibly malicious pre-planned thing! "The wires had been cut since morning," she said.
In less than an hour every man was asleep again, and quiet reigned in the Ranger camp at Comanche Ford on the Concho. It was an early spring. The round-up was set for the 10th of June. The grass was well forward, while the cattle had changed their shaggy winter coats to glossy suits of summer silk. The brands were as readable as an alphabet.
They had always been close friends, the only dissension that had ever arisen between them having been laid aside by mutual consent. That dissension had been caused by Guy Ranger. Five years before, when Sylvia had been only eighteen, he had flashed like a meteor through her sky, and no other star had ever shone for her again.
When he observed the boy, however, his eyes flashed and the blood rushed to his face. "I reckon he knows ye, Nuck," said the ranger. "What are you going to do with me?" demanded the Yorker, with bravado. "You'll all suffer for this outrage, I promise ye! Wait until I get to Albany " "And you ever see Albany again you're a lucky man," said Bolderwood, satisfying himself that the bonds were tight.
