The partnership was arranged, the immediate finance was forthcoming, and, for the time at least, Leeson Butte was left in utter ignorance of its neighboring Eldorado. Once he had made his deal with Silas McGinnis, Beasley promptly opened his heart in characteristic fashion. "They're all sheep, every one of 'em," he beamed upon his confederate.
Above the dry, dusty, herbal odors of the plain, above the scent of the new-mown hay within the barn, there was distinctly another fragrance, the smell of a pipe. But where? Was it his host who had risen to take the outer air? Then it suddenly flashed upon him that Beasley did NOT smoke, nor the constable either. The smell seemed to come from the barn.
Four of his greasers packed her down the hill most tore her clothes off, so Roy tells me." "Four greasers!... Shore it was Beasley's deal clean through?" "Yes. Riggs was led. He had an itch for a bad name, you know. But Beasley made the plan. It was Nell they wanted instead of Bo." Abruptly Carmichael stalked off down the darkening path, his silver heel-plates ringing, his spurs jingling.
Beasley’s store, he had felt the first stirrings of interest in them; now for the first time he was aware of a wistfulness because they did not care for him as they did for Lawrence. Mr. Beasley came up to him. “So you’re off—both of you. Funny thing—I guess from the looks of you two, if a stranger was to come along, he’d pick Lawrence out for the teacher and you for the schoolboy.
You know the boys say if a man is only FOR you, in this state, there isn't much in it and he may go back on it; but if he's FER you, he means it. Well, I'm FER Beasley!"

At this certain assurance of John's, too significant to be doubted, Dale's thought of Pine gave slow birth to a strange sensation, as if he had been dead and was vibrating back to life. "Tell what you got to tell!" he broke out. Quick as a flash the Mormon replied: "Roy's been shot. But he won't die. He sent for you. Bad deal's afoot. Beasley means to force Helen Rayner out an' steal her ranch."
"Nell Rayner, are you goin' to hev some spunk an' not lose your nerve again or go wild out of your head?" "I'll try to be brave, but but I must be prepared," she replied, tremulously. "Wal, there's Dale an' Las Vegas an' me fer Beasley to reckon with. An', Miss Nell, his chances fer long life are as pore as his chances fer heaven!"
Phoebe began to be sorry she had thought of sending for the diary, particularly as the chance of its containing valuable information was so remote. Mrs. Beasley went into the house to dress for the ride. The schoolmistress went with her as far as the sitting room. The perturbed Bailey stalked off, muttering, to the blacksmith's. In a little while he returned, leading Henry by the bridle.
"The horse stopped runnin' soon's he got to the foot of the next hill." Mrs. Beasley was not, apparently, overjoyed at the news. "Humph!" she grunted. "I 'most wish he'd broke his neck! Pesky, careless thing! gettin' us run away with and upset. Who's goin' to pay for fixin' my sulky, I want to know?" "Mr. Bangs will pay for it, I'm sure," said Phoebe soothingly.
