He don't mean us any good. What business is it of his?" Kid Wolf sternly pointed back to the wagons. "Those women and children theah," he snapped, "is mah business." "Shut up, Modoc!" ordered one of the men. "We trust this man, and we believe he's our friend." He turned to the Texan. "Yuh can consider yoreself in command here now," he added.
"Why, no," said Racey, who had never been more wide-awake than at that moment, "I wouldn't do anything we'd all be sorry for, Peaches. That is, all of us but you yoreself. You might not be sorry or anythin' else." This was threatening language, plain and simple. But it was no bluff. Peaches knew that Racey meant every word he said. Peaches' right hand moved no farther.
Think of bein' able to shoot yoreself ten times before th' blame thing stops!" Then looking at the line-up for the owner of the weapon, he laughed at the woeful countenances displayed. "Did they sidle in by companies or squads?" He asked. "By twos, mostly. Then they parade-rested an' got discharged from duty. I had eleven, but one got homesick, or disgusted, or something, an' deserted.
"No, Bob. I reckon I won't do that. I'll live alone awhile." "No, sir. What do you take me for? We'll load yore things up on the buckboard." Dave shook his head. "I'm much obliged, but I'd rather not yet. Got to feel out my way while I learn the range here." To this Bob did not consent without a stiff protest, but Sanders was inflexible. "All right. Suit yoreself.
"Are you going to keep me here all day?" asked his host sulkily. "Only till about four o'clock. We're paired, you and me, so we'll both stay away from the election. Why don't you pick you a good book and enjoy yoreself? There's a lot of A 1 readin' in that case over there. It'll sure improve yore mind." Clarendon ground his teeth impotently.
The presence of the outlaw, if discovered, would bring him trouble; and Doble was so unruly he might out of sheer ennui or bravado let it be known he was there. "I'll get you the money first thing in the mornin'," promised Steelman. Doble poured himself a large drink and took it at a swallow. "I would, Brad." "No use you puttin' yoreself in unnecessary danger." "Or you. Don't hand me my hat, Brad.
All I want o' him is to get a bead on him once with a rifle. Get me? Now this other talk about killin' yoreself nothin' to it a-tall. Go to it if tha's how you feel. Yore huntin'-knife's right there in yore belt." He reached forward and plucked it from its sheath, then handed it to her blade first, stepping back a pace at once to make sure she did not use it on him. "You got yore chance now.
He'll gun you if he gets half a chance." "Yes," said Dave evenly. "You don't figure to let yoreself get caught again without a six-shooter." Steve put the statement with the rising inflection. "No." "Tha's right. Don't let him get the drop on you. He's sudden death with a gun." Bob joined them.
"Looks like the law's made to protect scalawags instead of honest folks," Dave told West. "I don't reckon it is, but it acts that way sometimes," admitted the cattleman. "You can see yoreself it wouldn't do for the law to say a fellow could get property from another man by just sayin' it was his. Sorry, Sanders. After all, a bronc's only a bronc.
"If you think I'm enjoying this, you got another guess coming. And if you don't like the way I'm doing it, you can do it yoreself." Luke stood up at last, a white bandage encircling his head, said that he was much obliged, and would like to borrow a lantern for a few moments. "Aw, you don't need any lantern," objected the proprietor. "I forgot to fill mine to-day, anyway.
