She got up as he stood staring dumfoundedly at her and moved toward him, with an air of artful supplication that brought a gasp out of him of sheer relief. "Won't you welcome me, Trev? I have come very far, to see you."
Corrigan has planned to goad you into doing some rash thing so that he will have an excuse to jail or kill you!" "Where did you hear that?" "I I just heard it. I was in the bank today, and I overheard him talking to a man some officer, I think. Be careful, Trev very careful, won't you?" "Careful as I can," he laughed, lowly. "Thank you." He started on again, and she grasped his arm.
"O Trev please " She laughed, almost sobbing, but forced the tears back when she saw derision blazing in his eyes. "I told you it was all over!" He pushed her away and started off, but he had taken only two steps when she was at his side again. "I saw you from my window, Trev. I I knew it was you I couldn't mistake you, anywhere. I followed you saw you go into the Plaza. I came to warn you.
"Trev," she pleaded. "What's the use, Hester?" he said; "it can't be." "Well, God bless you, anyway, dear," she said chokingly. He passed on, leaving her in the shadows of the buildings, and walked far out on the plains. Making a circuit to avoid meeting the woman again, he skirted the back yards, stumbling over tin cans and debris in his progress.
"For you, boy," she said, slipping close to him, sinuously, whispering, knowing the "she" he had mentioned must be Rosalind Benham. "Old friends are best, boy. At least they can be depended upon not to betray one. Trev; let me help you! I can, and I will! Why, I love you, Trev! And you need me, to help you fight these people who are trying to ruin you!" "You don't understand."
I always thought he'd do it some day, and now you're quite safe, I want to thank God." We did not understand those words then; we did soon. The weak voice rambled on, "to thank God; but oh, it hurts so I can't I will when I get there." Then presently "Mother!" "She'll come very soon," said Alured. "Mother! oh, mother! Trevorsham, don't let them know. O Trev, promise, promise!" "Promise what?
She was about to hammer on the door when it swung open and Trevison stepped out, peered closely at her and laughed shortly. "It's you, eh?" he said. "I thought I told you " She winced at his tone, but it did not lessen her concern for him. "It isn't that, Trev! And I don't care how you treat me I deserve it! But I can't see them punish you for what you did last night!"
I'm afraid I haven't been exactly thoughtful. Wait I'll rustle up something to eat." "I I couldn't touch it, thank you. Trev " She started toward him impulsively, but he turned his back grimly and went toward the corral.
Then we went to get some toys for the children in the Lowther Arcade, and could scarcely have found a more genuine distraction than in selecting wagons for Tom and Trev, with horses of precisely the same color, not one of which should have a hair more in his tail than the other and a musical cart for Diddy.
For Trev tells me that presently there will be much bitterness between your crowd and himself, and I am certain that he wouldn't want me to stay here. If you will kindly have a man bring my trunks " And so she rode toward Manti. Not until the varying undulations of the land hid her from view of the Bar B ranchhouse did she lose the malicious smile.
