Last of all, the girl who had said with that adorable stammer, "So are y-you," and smiled a smile that had summed up everything that was desirable in the world. It was late that night when his mind, in a dazed sort of way, came back on the job.
"Y-you sure l-l-look all right, little g-girl," he admitted, slowly, "but I 've h-heard th-th-that feller was hell with w-women. I-I reckon you b-better go b-back to Farnham an' find out." He paused, wiping his perspiring face with the back of his hand, his cheeks reddening painfully under her unfaltering gaze. Finally he blurted out: "Say, w-who are you, anyhow?" "Beth Norvell, an actress."
"You kn-kn-know Farnham?" She bent her head in regretful acknowledgment. "An' you kn-kn-know the señorita?" "Yes, a very little." Stutter Brown wet his lips, shifting awkwardly. "Well, y-you 'll excuse me, M-Miss," he stuttered in an excess of embarrassment, yet plunging straight ahead with manly determination to have it out.
"Frightened, are ye?" and the prospector took a step closer to the unhappy villain. "But ye'll be more frightened before I git through with ye, let me tell ye that. What's the meanin' of sich actions? Out with it." "I t-thought y-you were dead," Curly stammered. "An' so ye was takin' the matter of justice into yer own dirty hands, eh?" "Somebody had to do it."
Abashed, shamed to realize he had forgotten she was half nude, he blindly tore off his coat, blindly folded it around her. "Lin! Lin!" she cried. "Lucy Oh! are y-you " he replied, huskily. "I'm not hurt. I'm all right." "But that wretch, Joel. He " "He'd killed his father just a minute before you came. I fought him! Oh! ... But I'm all right.... Did you "
"My dear," he said suddenly, with a peculiar tremor in his voice, "you resemble your mother remarkably. Tut I should know! Time was when I was one of her most ardent admirers." "You y-you knew my mother?" cried Dorothy, profoundly moved. "Did I not know you at sight? My dear, you are your mother reincarnate, for the good of an unworthy world. She was a very beautiful woman, my dear."
"Don't you see that's enough to start me drinking?" he burst out passionately. "Whenever I get hipped about anything I t-told you I know myself very well. I'd only h-had one drink when you came along. Did you notice me?" "Notice you! Oh no!" she cried scornfully. "Y-you know w-what a nervous f-fool I am; how I'm afraid of my own shadow. But when I've had only one whisky I'd tackle Satan himself!
Anderson shouted, giving chase. Bob dropped it on the road. "DAMN IT!" said Dad, glaring at Mother, "wot d' y' ALL want out 'ere?...Y-YOU brute!" Then Anderson and the two men went away.
Martha paused, regarding him and his question with due concern. "Tell?" "Are y-you going to t-tell on me, t-to ev-everybody? Are y-you going to t-tell S-Sammy?" "Shoor I'm not! I'm a perfect lady! I always keep such little affairs with my gen'lemen friends strickly confidential. Besides Sammy has troubles of his own."
"Y-you must forgive me, little Jude!" she pleaded, her bosom heaving now as much as the boy's. "I can't explain I will when you are older. It does seem as if I had done it on purpose, now we are in these difficulties! I can't explain, dear! But it is not quite on purpose I can't help it!" "Yes it is it must be! For nobody would interfere with us, like that, unless you agreed!
