And it's never been proved on either Al Moody or old Con Ristine, so I hear." "But of course I wouldn't have a hand in anything like that," Harris stated. "No. Neither would I," said the sheriff. "Nothing like that." Alden was regarding old Rile Foster who had drawn apart from the rest and was eating his meal in solitude.
Then Percival heard the turquoised brunette say: "What a pity his wife is such an unsympathetic creature!" "But Mr. Ristine is unmarried, is he not?" he asked, quickly. There was a little laugh from Mrs. Drelmer. "Not yet not that I've heard of." "I beg pardon!" "There have been rumours lots of times that he was going to be unmarried, but they always seem to adjust their little difficulties.
If she keeps on she'll be as big as all get-out, an' Crawfordsville won't be nowhere. Tim Horran laid out Fairfield two-three years back, over east o' here. Been a heap o' new towns laid out this summer, all around here. But I guess they won't amount to much. Josiah Halstead and Henry Ristine have jest laid out the town o' Columbia, down near the Montgomery line.
Al Moody, years before, had also denied his responsibility for the rumors on the Gallatin range; and Con Ristine had repudiated all knowledge of the whispers that traveled the Nations Trail.
He was slight, dark, and quick of movement, with finely cut nostrils that expanded and quivered nervously like those of a high-bred horse in tight check. Miss Milbrey introduced him to Percival as Mr. Ristine. "I didn't know you were hereabouts," she said.
They were among the first to come to this part of the country, I am informed. Fine, brave men, all of them. In Crawfordsville I stopped at the tavern conducted by Major Ristine. While there I consulted with Mr. Elston and Mr. Wilson and others about the advisability of selling my land up here and my building lots in Lafayette. They earnestly advised me not to sell.
Those not branded by this alleged bounty system were quick to grasp the beautiful simplicity of it all. Some recalled that a similar rumor, supposed to have originated with old Con Ristine, had wiped out the wild bunch that preyed on the Nations Cow-trail that the Gallatin clean-up had resulted from a like report which Al Moody was reported to have launched.
When he spoke again it was apparently as if to himself. "Al Moody sprung it in the Gallatin country a few years back," he said reflectively. "And old Con Ristine worked it on the Nations Cow-trail twenty years ago. It always brings the split." "That kind of thing is dead against the law," the sheriff said. "But it works right well that backfire stuff.
He and his wife are now staying over at the Bloynes." "Oh! I see," answered Percival; "you're a jester, Mrs. Drelmer." "Ristine," observed the theosophic Wilberforce, in the manner of a hired oracle, "is, in his present incarnation, imperfectly monogamous." Some people came from the music-room. "Miss Milbrey has stayed by the organist," said one; "and she's promised to make him play one more.
Then came strains of music from the rich-toned organ. "Oh, that dear Ned Ristine is playing," cried one; and several of the group sauntered toward the music-room. The music flooded the hall and the room, so that the talk died low. "He's improvising," exclaimed Mrs. Akemit. "How splendid!
