I don't like him, Miss, an' Say, how did them rustlers know 'bout them calves? Ther's two hundred head o' beeves out there, an' they passed 'em right over fer the Shorthorns." The man's argument and distrust of the man Sikkem made a deep impression on Nan. She had listened to some of the latter before. But Jeff's predilection for the dark-faced half Greaser had left her sceptical of Lal's opinion.
"Guess I'll hand her over to Ma Sampson," he said, without turning. "Maybe she has folks. Maybe ther's the law." Seth turned now. "She's mine now," he cried over his shoulder. Then he viciously aimed a shovelful of coal at the open furnace door. All his years of frontier life had failed to change a naturally tender heart in Seth.
Ef he'd only show 'em out, there might be somethin' honest about it; but when a feller jist eats an' sleeps an' works, an' never shows any uv the tastes uv a gentleman, ther's somethin' wrong." "I don't wish him any harm," said a tall, good-natured fellow, who succeeded the judge; "but the feller's looks is agin the reputation uv the place.
The peacock perched upon the balustrade of the terrace greeted him vociferously, and after some moments his repeated knock was answered by the cautious opening of the front door, and Bedney's gray head peered out. "Lord Mars Lennox! Is it you? What next? 'Pears to me, there's nothing left to happen; but howsomever, if ther's more to come, tell us what's to pay now?"
Seth's eyes, busy in every other direction, had failed to witness her distress, just as he failed to take any heed of her words. "You see, Rosie, ther's a heap o' trouble comin' along here," he said presently, when he had drawn level. "Yes," the girl replied, without turning her head; "and I'm going to stay for it.
He glared down the table, but finally turned again to Sandy. "You ain't pertickler busy 'bout now, so ther's thirty dollars a week says you ken hev the job. An' I'll give you a percentage o' the gold you wash up," he added dryly. "You on?" Sandy nodded. He didn't quite understand his friend's game. This was the first he had heard of Bill having acquired a claim and on the river, too.
The older man watched him seat himself a little wearily. "Hurt some?" he said. "Jest a notion," Seth replied in his briefest manner. "Say, you got around jest in time." "Yup. Wanaha put me wise after I left here, so I came that aways. Say, this is jest the beginnin'." "You think " "Ther's more comin'. Guess the troops 'll check it some. But say, this feller's worse'n his father.
I reckon ther's jest one thing fer us to do when a crazy man gits around with a gun. It's time to light out. Wher's Victor?" And her eyes fell upon the treasure-chest. "Him an' me's changed places. He's back ther'." Jean jerked a thumb over his shoulder to indicate the huts in the wood. Davia was on her feet in an instant and her eyes sparkled angrily. "What d'ye mean, Jean?" The man shrugged.
I understand. Now, what else? Can't I reconnoitre, or or something in the meantime?" Her enthusiasm carried the day. "No, I guess not. But " "Yes, yes " "See, Rosie, we want time. I kind o' think it's to-morrow. Parker thinks so too. So does Hargreaves. We may be wrong. But see right here, I'm due back here by two o'clock sure. If I'm not here by ten minutes after ther's this you ken do.
Then he added, "You ain't been cussed with a gang o' toughs raidin' stock, neither, same as we have fer the last fi' years. But they're out. Oh, yes, they're sure out. Yes, siree, you guessed right. Ther's sure been some play around here.
