There came a blinding flash, exceeding in brightness anything he had yet experienced. But with it, to his amazement, there emerged from the blackness a vision that brought life back to him with a shocking thrill. For there, not ten paces distant, was Sunnysides. Only for an instant; and then all was again obscure. He must have been mistaken.
He shouldered his way through the crowd in the heedless manner of most bulky men, who seldom realize how much space they take that properly belongs to others. At six feet from the golden horse he halted, and surveyed him with shining eyes. "Sunnysides, eh?" he said, turning toward the nearest of the strangers. "The's only one," replied the cow-puncher. "Who caught him this time?" "Us three.
I'm not coming back without Sunnysides." He put spurs to the little bay mare, and dashed away. Pete and Farrish stood watching him until he had turned the point of the ridge. "Hell!" said Farrish. In the cottage door stood a figure in blue silks, intently gazing after the disappearing horseman. "He catchum, allee light!" murmured Slim Jim.
She wanted him to continue in that strain, and even Sunnysides was a less dangerous subject than another. "Well, about Sangre de Cristo first. That's a great range that stands up high and white along the east. Sangre de Cristo is Spanish for Blood of Christ. I can see those pious old rascal adventurers uncovering their blessed heads when they first glimpsed it.
"'Well I just guess! said the boy. 'Sunnysides. How did he ? "'How was the saddle loose or not? asked Haig. "'No, it hadn't turned if that's what "'Thank you! replied Haig, starting on. "'Wait! the boy shouted. 'He ain't gone that way! "'What? "'I say, he ain't gone that way. "Haig stared at him suspiciously. Was the boy trying to trick him, in emulation of his elders?
Just what happened none could be quite sure of, then or afterward; but in the midst of Sunnysides' plungings, there came a windmill kind of movement, rather like the whirling of a dervish, out of which the horse lunged swiftly forward, and halted violently, with his head down, and his forelegs stiff before him.
Farrish and Pete were at work among the stalls; Bill stood guard over Sunnysides; and the fourth man, Curly, was mending a saddle in the harness-room. "Farrish!" Haig called out, striding into the stable. "We'll tackle the yellow fellow this morning." Farrish and Pete turned, and looked at him curiously. "All right!" answered Farrish; and then added doubtfully: "Now?" "Yes. At once."
Blue's overdone here too, blue sky, blue mists, blue shadows, blue lakes, blue flowers, anemones, harebells, columbines and the rest. It's a relief to get into the reds of the San Luis " "Where Sunnysides came from!" interrupted Marion, eager despite her misery. "Yes." "Tell me about him, please!"
That he was rapidly recovering she heard with a ringing joy, which had its alloy of fear; for she knew that the day he felt himself to be in full possession of his powers he would attempt again to conquer Sunnysides. So from day to day her apprehension mounted until it became well-nigh insupportable. And her own helplessness maddened her. What could she do? Nothing!
"Sunnysides?" she cried out unguardedly. Smythe's eyes warned her, as he waited to give her time for self-control. He did not know how far Hillyer was in her confidence. "Is there news about Sunnysides?" she faltered, struggling desperately with herself. "Yes," he answered.
