When he entered the kitchen she greeted him with a kindly smile, and said, much as if the events of the previous night were no more than a disagreeable dream: "You see I'm beginning to depend on you already, Seth. Gladys isn't up yet, and I've left White-Face in the barn thinkin' you'd take her to the pasture.
You can hear what I say, white-face! They shall know about the little cross to-morrow." She followed Rosalie at a distance, her eyes blazing. As fate would have it, she met on the highroad the least scrupulous man in the parish, an inveterate gossip, the keeper of the general store, whose only opposition in business was the post-office shop.
"What are you, then, you little white-faced, big-eyed devil?" "Charley, I I got something to to tell you. "Bring me a lamb stew and a beer, light. What'll you have, little white-face?" "Some milk and " "She means with suds on, waiter." "No no; milk, I said milk over toast. Milk toast I gotta eat it. Why don't you lemme talk, Charley? I gotta tell you." He was suddenly sober. "What's hurting you?
"They are, then, as hard-hearted as these people? I might have known. Neither earth, sky, nor water shows charity to a jackal. I saw the tents of a white-face last season, after the Rains, and I also took a new yellow bridle to eat. The white-faces do not dress their leather in the proper way. It made me very sick." "That was better than my case," said the Adjutant.
"Whatever it is, it is white-face work," said the Adjutant; "and for my own part, I would not lie out upon a place so near to it as this bar." "You do not know the English as I do," said the Mugger. "There was a white-face here when the bridge was built, and he would take a boat in the evenings and shuffle with his feet on the bottom-boards, and whisper: 'Is he here? Is he there?
We'll gather our own cows close to the home ranch and shove other brands off our range, throw forty white-face bulls out close round the place and start building up real beef; steers that will bring fifty a head where those runts bring twenty-five. And big red she-stock will bring more money too.
But we had White-Face and Tumble-Weed and our sea-going spring-wagon, with plenty of rugs, and there was no way, of course, of putting a team and rig in the tonneau. So I made my adieux and planted Peter meekly in the back seat with little Dinkie to hold and took the reins myself.
"Why did you jump so?" Gladys asked merrily. Seth's face reddened, and he stammered not a little in reply: "I reckon that cow would make it kind'er lively for strangers, wouldn't he?" "And you are really afraid of poor old White-Face? Why, she's as gentle as Snippey, though of course you couldn't pet her so much."
They gave them tidings of old Michael. He had been seen to pass just before the snow had begun to melt in the warmer valleys. Peter did not fail to tell his red-skinned brothers of the wonderful tidings the white-face missionary at the fort had brought. "The great God of the white-faces loves us as much as He does them," he exclaimed.
Whoever it was has cleared out long ago." He moved off in advance, and was turning the corner, flashing his torch into the shrubbery, when a pale figure flew out of the darkness. "You're safe!" cried a voice in tones of supreme relief. "Oh, but I was terrified for you!" "Miss Handyside!" A flash had shown him a white-face, wide eyes, parted lips also a hand gripping a pretty revolver.
