The song he caroled was, "When Gabriel blows his horn in the mawnin'." After his failure to stop Yeager's escape, Culvera lost no time before starting a party in pursuit. He knew there was small chance of finding the American in that rolling sea of hills, but there was at least no harm in making the attempt.
"But, Miss Carrington!" cried Bess Yeager, one of the seniors, almost interrupting the staid teacher, "we want to make money for the Red Cross. We could not get a room full with a Greek play." "I beg Miss Yeager's pardon," said Miss Carrington stiffly. "We have our standard of education to uphold first of all." "I hope you will excuse me, Miss Carrington," said Laura, likewise rising to object.
During all the desperate fighting it had been lying in a shell snugly fitted into one of the chambers of a revolver in Yeager's room. "Beg pardon, sir. Did the boy have the map with him while he was Mr. Bothwell's prisoner?" asked Gallagher. "He did; but he didn't know it." "Glad he didn't, sir, because if he had that devil would have got it out of him."
She dropped her knife on the plate with a clatter and gave a little scream. Shorty stopped a spoonful of soup halfway to his mouth, as if he were waiting to have a still picture of himself taken. His eyes stared and his jaw fell. Mrs. Seymour, who was bringing a platter from the kitchen, stood stock-still in the doorway. The expression, on her face arrested Yeager's smile.
Now he murmured a question: "What about this man Keller? Was he here when you came, Phyl?" The girl turned to Yeager, who had sauntered up. "Didn't you say he came this morning, Jim?" Yeager's eyes were like a stone wall. "Yep. This mo'ning. I needed some husky guy to help me, so I got him." "Funny you had to get a fellow from Bear Creek to help you, Jim." "Are you looking for a job, Brill?" "No.
He said nothing, since he could not speak without breaking down. Jackson looked at Steve in amazement. "You been wrastling with a circular saw?" he asked. It hurt Yeager's broken face to smile, but he attempted it. "Had a little difference of opinion with Chad. We kind o' talked things over." Nobody asked anything further. It is the way of outdoor Arizona to take a good deal for granted.
"Because I'm a white man, general. We don't kill in the dark and run away. When I offer to fight him to a finish I go the limit and then some. For I don't hate Culvera that bad. But I think a heap of Steve Yeager's life, so I'll stand pat on my proposition." "Am I a fool, señor?" asked the Mexican harshly.
The First National at Noches was held up yesterday, about half-past three or four, by some masked men. Slim and Jim Budd were around and recognized that roan and its rider." "You mean " "You've guessed it, Jim. I mean that your friend, the rustler, is a bank robber, too." "Yesterday, you say, at four o'clock?" "About four, yes." Yeager's face cleared. "Then that lets him out.
"Must 'a' been wanting water mighty bad, I reckon," commented Jack amiably. "You bet! Lee feels better satisfied now he's watered them." "I don't doubt it." Norris changed the subject. "You must have burnt the wind getting here. I didn't expect to see you for some hours." "I happened to be down at Yeager's ranch, and one of the boys got me on the line from Mesa."
I'm a clam, and at your service, seh." "Then find out the truth about the knife." Yeager's eye chiselled into that of Keller. "Mind, I ain't going to help you bring trouble to Phyllie, and I ain't going to stand by and see it, either." The other smiled. "I don't ask it of you. What I want is to clear the boy." "Good enough," agreed Yeager, and led the way back.
