"It's nothing," said I with my eyes on Carmel; but the gesture I furtively made Arthur, said otherwise. A few minutes later we were both in the driveway. "We are on the brink of a surprise," I whispered. "I think I understand this Sweetwater now."
On his return to Sweetwater Ranch he put the place in charge of his new foreman, Sage-brush Charlie, and went out to a hunting-cabin he had built in the Tortilla Mountains. Here he fought the problem over with his conscience and his selfishness won. He returned, fixed in his decision to suppress Dick Lane's letter, and to go ahead with the marriage. The Hold-up
The name gives the mountain's shape two fishhooks bound together back to back, one prong to the east, the other to the west, the barbs pointing to the north. Sweetwater Spring is on the barb of the eastern hook; three miles west, on the main shank, an all but impassable trail climbed to Hardscrabble Tanks. At the foot of this trail, Zurich and his party halted.
Tim took his courage in both hands and came just inside the door. "Man! Look at the blood!" he said. "There's nobody here," Mackenzie told him, turning to go. "She's took him to the doctor," said Tim. "Where is that?" "There's a kind of a one over on the Sweetwater, sixty miles from here, but there's no good one this side of Jasper." "He'll die on the way," Mackenzie said conclusively.
If crossed in what she considered best for her patient, possibly for herself, she could be severe, if not biting, in her speech and manner. So much Sweetwater read in the cold, clear eye and firm, self-satisfied mouth of the woman awaiting his response to the curt demand she had made.
Meanwhile Wellgood had seen them and ordered his men to cease rowing. "Give way, there," he shouted. "We're for the launch and in a hurry." "There's some one here who wants to speak to you, Mr. Wellgood," Sweetwater called out, as respectfully as he could. "Shall I mention your name?" he asked of Mr. Grey. "No, I will do that myself."
The faces of both men changed as they recognised this distinguishing mark, and instinctively their eyes met across the width of the open space separating them. Hexford's finger rose to his mouth, but Sweetwater needed no such hint.
Sweetwater sat astonished, and what was more, silent he who had a word for everything. Accustomed as he was to the varying moods of his remarkable friend, he had never before been met with a reticence so absolute. It made him think; but for once in his life did not make him loquacious. Mr.
Sweetwater alone betrayed restlessness, Knapp showed no feeling at all, while Frederick stood like one petrified, and moved neither hand nor foot. "Crime is despicable when it results from cupidity only," she went on, with a deliberateness so hard that the more susceptible of her auditors shuddered.
Through the arbor a glimpse of the Tortilla Mountains, forty miles away, held the eye. The Sweetwater, its path across the plains outlined by the trees fringing its banks, flowed past the ranch. Yucca palms and sahuaroes threw a scanty shade over the garden. Shortly after the arrival of the Allens in Arizona they were blessed with a daughter, the first white child born in that region.
