Yuh kin allus cook betteh, too, on thu steady heat of thu coals afteh the flame O' fierce fiah has buhned itself out, an' thu brand that holds a man bites deepeh if it's heated In the glowin' heart of Love afteh thu flame an' smoke of passion has drifted away. "Theah's things In a man's natuh that's gotta be buhned out; yuh cain't prune 'em away.
An' every time we close up ranks, theah's empty saddles showin'. But General Forrest, he's still toughenin' it out. Me, I'll trail along with him any day in the week." "Hey!" Kirby was drawing a bead on a shaking bush. But the man edging through was Hew Wilkins, General Buford's Sergeant of Scouts. He crawled up beside them to peer at the blockhouse. "They're pullin' out!"
Genuinely interested at the simple relation, Constance asked sympathetically: "And what did you do with the money so heroically saved, may I ask?" "Well, I had thu price O' nine bottles o' booze in thu bag when I counted her oveh at Tin Cup on Chrismus eve. Theah's five bottles goes to a gallon, yuh know, so I rattles thu bones with thu perfessor an' o' cose I wins thu odd bottle.
The two grinning newcomers saw that, even before they made out their swarthy faces. The prisoners wore the dirty velvet jackets and big sombreros of Mexico. "Theah's the don's men," said The Kid, laughing. "Come on!" He rode toward one of the mounted shadows and whistled softly. The man turned. It was just light enough to make out his features. It was Anton. "By golly, Kid," he yelped out.
"Howdy, fellas," he spoke in a hoarse voice, and wiped a running nose on his sleeve. "What command you in?" "Forrest's Cavalry ... Scouts " "Forrest's!" He took another eager step forward. "Now theah's a command! Ain't bin for you boys, th' blue bellies woulda gulped us right up! Nairy a one of us'd got out of Tennessee." "You ain't rightly out yet, amigo," Kirby pointed out.
Kid Wolf, keeping a careful eye on him, but ignoring him otherwise, hummed a fragment of song: "Oh, theah's hombres poison mean, on the Rio! And theah's deadly men at Dodge, no'th o' Rio! And to-day, from what I've seen, Theah's some bad ones in between, And I aim to keep it clean, beyond the Rio!" Stars began to twinkle cheerily in the black vault overhead.
"Could you make it to camp, fast?" Kirby grunted. "Sure, easy as driftin' downriver on one of them theah steamers. But leavin' you heah with that mess of skunks is somethin' else." "Weatherby's out there. Anything or anyone gettin' by him would have to come in on wings." "An' wings don't come natural to this breed of critter! All right, I don't see how theah's much else we can do.
At the mention of "law," the half-breed snarled contemptuously. "Ain't no law," he grunted, "southwest o' Dodge. Yuh no take me there. Too far." Kid Wolf knew that the killer was right. Still, on the prairie, men make their own commandments. "Theah's a new town, I hear, not far from heah Midway, I think they call it," he drawled.
Ride up to their camp an' say, 'We know wheah at theah's some bushwhackers, come'n see'?" Webb asked scornfully. "After this mornin' they won't even listen to a truce flag, I'm thinkin'." Croff nodded. "That's right." "Supposin' those sentries we passed back there were knocked out and two of us took their places and the other two then laid a trail leadin' here?"
"Yo're goin' theah with me, and if theah's no law in Midway, I'll see that some laws are passed. And yo' won't need that, eithah!" he added suddenly. The knife that the half-breed had attempted to draw tinkled to the ground as The Kid gave the treacherous wrist a quick twist. "Step along, Blizzahd," sang out Kid Wolf in his Southern drawl.
