Thode! Unless I'm mistaken, he's dealing the biggest, crookedest hand of his life right now, but we'll get him, Sir. We'll show him what fair play is below the border " He broke off and for a minute the two men sat in silence, straining their ears.
Willa gave her hair a final twist and turned from the mirror. "I am honestly sorry Kearn Thode missed those dances with you to-night, but it really wasn't my fault " "Do you suppose I wanted to dance with him?" Angie interrupted in immense scorn.
Thode, a poor woman who is frightfully maimed from saving my life in the fire which killed my mother. I I have a scar from it which she recognized and so there is another witness to my identity, but without the valuable proof you have brought me I would still have found it almost impossible to offset the evidence of that false document.
Tia Juana's no beggar, to be insulted with alms. She's proud; some of the half-breeds are, when the strain is strong enough." "I didn't know," Thode responded humbly. "I'd like to do something for the kid. Shall I send a doctor out, if I can find one?" The girl shook her head. "He'll do, all right.
"What?" asked the other after a pause. "Did you know about the well, too?" Kearn Thode laughed. "I'd heard of it," he acknowledged. "I wish him joy of his discovery! Is he making headway while the going is good?" "Rather! I say, it isn't bunk, is it? I mean, this Almas Perderse is the real thing, a good financial proposition?"
Jim Baggott sprang for her, but Thode reached her side first, and for a moment she clung to him. Then she raised herself indomitably upright once more. "It is not easy to hate, after all!" she murmured. "If it were not for the memory of Dad I could find it in my heart to forgive."
Willa, noting the transition, glanced over her shoulder to see Starr Wiley, smiling and urbane, standing just within the doorway. "Another reminder of Limasito," she remarked. "A most unwelcome one. But tell me about your accident. I am so sorry " His hostess claimed Thode at that juncture and bore him away to fresh introductions, and Willa started across the room to Mrs.
He has aged over the whole thing, I can tell you! I think he would give half he possesses to know that all was well with her." Thode beckoned once more to the waiter, and, throwing a bill upon the table, rose. "If Miss Murdaugh has gone, I'm off to-night," he announced. "It was to see her that I returned to New York, but since there's no chance of that now I must take the trail again."
I've always reckoned fair play was about the biggest thing in life, and woman-like she's gone further than my teachings and worked out an eye-for-an-eye creed of justice for herself that would shame a vigilance committee, but she's wholesome and sound in mind and limb." "I've learned a little of what they think of her in this town." Thode hesitated, and then went on earnestly.
After our departure he possessed himself by violence of the map which Tia Juana had only partly destroyed, located the Pool, learned of its new owner and started out to find her. He knew that I was her one friend, and suspected that I was back of the purchase. Before following me to New York, therefore, he made a journey West, of which I'll tell you more later, or rather Mr. Thode will.
