I sent Tom up there to see after things," and the sheriff gestured toward the distant Concho. "Sent him up to-night. Let's go over to the office." Corliss shook his head. "Don't want to see him, just now. Besides, I want to say a few things private." "All right. There was a buyer from Kansas City dropped in to town to-day. Didn't see him, did you?" "Cattle?" "Uhuh." "No. We just got in."
"Red was for searchin' the guy, but I says to come on before we got caught. Red, he laughed kind of queer, and asked me, 'Caught at what? Then I said, 'I dunno, but I was scared. "Anyway, he went through the dead guy's clothes and found some papers and old letters and a little leather bag with a whole lot of gold-dust in it. Red said mebby five hundred dollars!" "Gold-dust?" "Uhuh!
Bowing politely, he asked: "Have you seen anything of Mr. Dardus, or Bob Chester?" "Uhuh! I seen 'em both," replied the woman, nodding her head, as though to confirm her words. But though Foster remained silent in the hope that she would add to this information, he was at length obliged to renew his questions, as she vouchsafed nothing more. "Were they together?" "No."
"The best in the country," cheerfully assented Sundown. "How you making it, Sun?" "Me? Oh, I'm wigglin' along. Come home last night and found Jimmy with his leg bruk. Everything else was all right." "Jimmy?" "Uhuh. Me rooster." "Coyote grab him?" "Uhuh. And Chance fixed Mr. Coyote. I was to Loring's yesterday on business." Shoop glanced at Corliss who had thus far remained silent.
"Keep your undershirt on, Red. When your brother Archie mortgaged the Bar L-M . . ." "What fool's nonsense are you talking, Dart?" demanded Shandon. "Arthur never mortgaged " "Uhuh. I thought you didn't know about it. Now I'm here to tell you something you ought to know. I guess the Weak Sister forgot to tell you about it.
Why, I shot droves of 'em right from the bunk-house door. I never miss a chance. Cut loose every time I see one standin' with his front paws on the trough. Get 'em every time." "Wisht I'd knowed that." "So?" "Uhuh. I'd 'a' borrowed a gun off you and set up and watched for 'em myself." Bud Shoop made a pretense of tightening a cinch on Sundown's pony, that he might "blush unseen," as it were.
But just now the old man's face told nothing. "Thinking of runnin' the outfit yourself, Stephen?" came the next question quietly. "Yes. I had intended looking in on you in a day or so to talk matters over. I understand that my father left everything to me and that it is pretty heavily mortgaged to you." "Uhuh. I let Phil have a right smart bit of money on Number Ten firs' an' las', my boy.
The only thing I knew for sure was that I wasn't going to hand over any helpless little pussycat to a guy with eyes like that. He'd mistreat it." "Uhuh. Only, now what do we do with the cat?" "Give it to the right Ali Moustafa," Rick said. "There must be a right one somewhere." Scotty waved his arm in a gesture that took in all of Egypt, half of the Sudan, and most of Libya. "Help yourself.
But I made her get the pistol I knew where you kept it and I knew how to use it, even if she didn't. Remember when we were shooting muskrats, that time, along the river?" "Uhuh. I wondered how she knew enough to unlock the action and load the chamber." He turned and faced the others.
"She reckon dem biscuit goin' git her by Sain' Petuh when she 'proach de hevumly gates! Uhuh! I tell her she got git redemption fo' de aigs she done ruin dese many yeahs; 'cause she as useless wid an ommelick as a two-day calf on de slick ice!" Here he laughed loud and long. "You jass go and talk wid dat Mamie, some day, Missy; you'll see how vain dat woman is."
