Wrangler, and the oftener he thought them over the more he felt his fingers itch to close themselves around Mr. Wrangler's long and scraggy neck. He waited an hour, two hours, but no Mr. Wrangler came, and at last Billy concluded to mount the stairs and to interview Mr. Wrangler in the hall bedroom.
"Bring up the horses." He called again, and a third time. The dwarfed figures of the outlaws stood out clear in the moonlight. One of them ran up the track toward the draw. He disappeared into the scrub oaks, from whence his alarmed voice came in a minute. "Dutch! Oh, Dutch!" The revolver rim pressed a little harder against the bridge of the horse wrangler's nose.
"Say, now, sheriff," he interposed, "didn't you look for footprints and finger-marks?" Isa shook his head. "Never knew a clean boot make a print on a soft pile carpet," he answered. "As fer finger-marks Sanson T. Wrangler's ready ter swear in court as the criminals both wore gloves, fully provin' that they wasn't novices in the burglary business." He turned again to Kiddie.
When a wrangler's rope caught him, the wiry little animal fought viciously for a few moments, then suddenly surrendered and was led out as docile as a lamb. "Who said that black is vicious?" demanded Hippy Wingate. "Want to ride him?" asked the guide good-naturedly. "No. I have a real pony for myself." "Watch those ears, Grace," warned Tom Gray.
"Nothing ails this child," said Billy, when the sound of Mr. Wrangler's voice had died away. "Nothing at all." "Warlock, dear boy," replied Wrangler, "I think you told me you had never been an uncle. The man who has not drank the bitter waters of an uncle's experience for himself is pardon me, but I must say it wholly incompetent to speak as to the woes of childhood.
That afternoon the Minister sent me an apology, but for which damme if I'd ever have spoken to him again." During this speech, to which Billy listened with great attention and some little awe, he examined Mr. Wrangler carefully. Mr. Wrangler's clothes were harmoniously seedy.
