Douglas' own lips were very uncertain in the moonlight but he answered, firmly enough, "We've got to do it. The coyotes will get him here." "They'll say we shot him!" sobbed Judith. Doug gave a start. "They sure-gawd will! What shall we do, Jude?" "Go off and leave him and say nothing about it." "With our horses' tracks all round him! You're crazy!
"Just enough to feed and clothe me. We'll arrange that after we get a church established." Douglas rose with a broad grin. "I sure-gawd have let myself in for something now," he said. "But I'll take care of you, Mr. Fowler." "All right, young Moses," returned the preacher, smiling into Doug's eager face. "Good-night."
You're at the bottom of this whole trouble and I want you to see and hear it." "Draw it mild, Douglas!" protested the postmaster. "Don't bother about me," said Jude. "I sure-gawd can take care of myself." "What happens next?" inquired Jimmy Day. Nobody spoke for a moment; then very deliberately, Peter turned to the sheriff. "You remember Doug's mother, don't you, Frank?
Then she looked calmly about her. "First ones here!" she said complacently. "Even the preacher hasn't come." "I suppose," Doug's voice was bitter "that if I rode over toward Day's to meet Jimmy you'd have to tag!" "I sure-gawd would. Swift would like the extra exercise." Douglas swept Judith's thin bay mare with a withering glance. "That thing! Looks like the coyotes had been at it!"
"I guess if the truth be deponed he's fonder of me than he is of anybody excepting maybe Judith. And Judith, she sure-gawd don't apregate Doug like I do, even if I am a half-wit. Judith's awful smart but she ain't got much sense." "Judith is pretty fine, Johnny!" exclaimed Douglas, with the faint glow in his blue eyes that mention of her name always brought. "Yes, she is," agreed Johnny.
"Wait a minute!" drawled Charleton.. "It sure-gawd is your bull, Nelson. Scott ran it up to Mountain City, rebranded it there, and brought it back here in the spring." "Why, you traitor!" roared Scott. "You staged the whole play, and I'll bet you staged this with your traps." "I never let a debt go unpaid," chuckled Charleton. "Aw, come off, Scott!" cried John Spencer.
I don't remember your face." "I'm glad you don't!" replied Douglas. "But I've always wanted to tell you I sure-gawd was ashamed of myself. I was the kid that made you trouble at Lost Chief seven or eight years ago." Fowler's blade brows met as he studied the young rider's frank face. "So you are!" he said slowly. "So you are! Well, I'll never have that kind of trouble again. Have you eaten?
Loves animals and can tame and train anything. A great reader." Douglas paused. "She sounds very attractive. What's the trouble?" asked the preacher. Douglas twisted his hands together. "You know who Inez Rodman is. Well, she is Jude's best friend! And she has formed all of Judith's ideas about love and marriage." "Yet you say Judith is straight?" "She sure-gawd is! But how can it last?
Judith perched beside Peter. "I should say not! I'd like to go to a dance." "I sure-gawd will try to give you your fill of dancing for once in Mountain City." The anger had disappeared from John's voice. "Judith's not going unless her mother goes!" said Douglas coolly. Judith sniffed. "Her master's voice, again! You'd better horn out of this, Douglas."
"I'd buy me a silver-mounted saddle and silver spurs," said Douglas, "and that dapple gray of Oscar Jefferson's and a good greyhound, and I'd go into the wild horse catching business." John groaned. "We've sure-gawd got an ambitious pair of kids here, Mary! What about the money you get from this trip, Doug?" "Will you let me keep it?" asked Douglas, eagerly. "I'll see!"
