Rosalind smiled at Carson, who was watching her admiringly, and to the smile he answered, pointing eastward to where the slope of the hill melted into the plains: "You'll have to go thot way, ma'am." He laughed. "You're perfectly safe wid thim min, ma'am they're Trevison's an' Trevison wud shoot the last mon av thim if they'd harm a hair av your pretty head. Go along, ma'am, an' God bless ye!
"Damn it, I'd knife Corrigan for you!" he vowed, recklessly. "Save Trevison that's all I ask. Tell me what you heard." "Corrigan suspects Trevison of blowing up the stuff at the butte as everybody does, of course. He's determined to get evidence against him. He found Carson's pipe at the door of the dynamite shed this morning. Carson is a friend of Trevison's.
And again, his magnetism, his polite consideration for her feelings, his ingenuous, smiling deference so sharply contrasted with Trevison's direct bluntness swayed her, and she sat, perplexed, undecided, when he finished the explanation she had coldly demanded of him. "It is the invariable defense of these squatters," he added; "that they are being robbed.
Several times during the ride Murphy had caught a glimpse of the engineer's face, and the eyes had haunted him since defiance of death, contempt of consequences, had been reflected in them. Trevison's eyes reminded him of the engineer's. But in Trevison's eyes was an added expression cold humor. The engineer of Murphy's recollection would have met death dauntlessly.
Trevison's work took him longest, and when he leaped from the side of a mound of supplies Levins was already running back toward the shoulder where they had left their horses. They joined, then split apart, their weapons leaping into their hands, for they heard the rapid drumming of horse's hoofs.
For when a man has a wife she's continually remindin' him of it, an' he can't forget it he's got her. It's the same with his land he's got it. So far as I know there's never been a deed issued for my land or any of the land in that Midland grant, except Trevison's." "It looks as though Corrigan had considered that phase of the matter," dryly observed Judge Graney.
While Lefingwell had been talking two of the Vigilantes had slipped to the rear of Trevison. As Lefingwell concluded they leaped. The arms of one man went around Trevison's neck; the other man lunged low and pinned his arms to his sides, one hand grasping the pistol and wrenching it from his hand. The crowd closed again.
Corrigan's took his deputies out, trailin' Trevison, chargin' him with murderin' Braman, when his real purpose is to get his claws on that record! Trevison's been fightin' our fight for us, an' we've stood around like a lot of gillies, lettin' him do it!
The town's riled, and I wouldn't give a plugged cent for Trevison's chances. He's sloped. Desperate character I always thought he'd rip things loose give him time. It was him blowed up Corrigan's mine. I ain't seen Corrigan since last night, but I heard him and twenty or thirty deputies are on Trevison's trail. I hope they get him." He squinted at her.
"Not he," said Corrigan, coldly; "he's got too much nerve for that." "Ain't he, now!" Carson looked guilelessly at the other. "Wud ye be havin' anny idee who done it?" Corrigan's eyes narrowed. "No," he said shortly, and turned away. Trevison's appearance in Manti created a stir.
