Early next morning there was an exodus from the village of the better element among the visitors. "No fun hangin' round hyar," one of them expressed it, and as good-naturedly as they had come they rode away. Six or seven of the desperado class remained behind, bent on mischief; and they were reinforced by more arrivals from Stonebridge.
"I forgot to, I reckon. You've been away a lot. Well, there's been hell up in Utah for six months. Lately this judge and his men have worked down into southern Utah. He visited Bluff and Monticello a few weeks ago.... Now what do you think?" "Withers! Is he coming to Stonebridge?" "He's there now. Some one betrayed the whereabouts of the hidden village over in the canyon.
By Stonebridge, by Kayenta and Durango, and by Red Lake. We must choose one. All are dangerous. We must lose time finding Surprise Valley. I hoped the Indian could find it. Then we'd bring Lassiter and Jane here and hide them near till dark, then take you and go. That would give us a night's start. But you must help us to Surprise Valley."
"A bad mark to Flanagan for not coming in quietly," said the voice of Miss Henniker; and at the sound the spirit went out from us, and we remembered we were once more in Stonebridge House. "Preparation" was a dreadful time. I knew perfectly well, though I could not see her, that Miss Henniker's eyes were upon me all the time. I could feel them on the back of my head and the small of my back.
"I owe him something, then," replied Shefford. "Hope my obligations don't grow beyond me. Did you leave Joe at Stonebridge?" "Yes. He wanted to stay, and I had work there that'll keep him awhile. Shefford, we got news of Shadd bad news. The half-breed's cutting up rough. His gang shot up some Piutes over here across the line. Then he got run out of Durango a few weeks ago for murder.
"Now in church, of course, it would be just the other way," said Lady Silverhampton; "I should line my pew with the same stuff as my Sunday gown, so as to look as if I was there when I wasn't." Lord Stonebridge began to argue. "But that wouldn't be the other way; it would be the same thing." "How stupid and accurate you are, Stonebridge!
But the prosecutors have got to find the sealed wives the second wives to find the law-breaking husbands. That'll be a job, or I don't know Mormons.... Are you going to ride over to Stonebridge with me?" Shefford shrank at the idea. Months of toil and pain and travail had not been enough to make him forget the strange girl he had loved.
A new boy never takes all at once to his first walk in the playground; but with Flanagan as my protector who was "Hail fellow, well met," with every one, even the backwards I got through the ordeal pretty easily. There were eight boys altogether at Stonebridge House, and I was introduced or rather exhibited to most of them that afternoon. Some received me roughly and others indifferently.
He felt this, saw the old wildness with glad eyes, yet the greater part of his mind was given over to the thought of the unfortunate women he expected to see in Stonebridge. Withers was harder to follow, to keep up with, than an Indian. For one thing he was a steady and tireless rider, and for another there were times when he had no mercy on a horse.
I had long got past the stage of being afraid either of Rathbone or Philpot at Stonebridge House. "Well," retorted the malcontent, "why doesn't he go the whole hog?" "Depends on what you call the whole hog," I replied. "Why, instead of feeding them up like fighting-cocks I'd starve them I would.
