With both feet he kicked viciously at the huge head that was rushing at him; Garman's rush stopped sharply; and Roger was on his feet and out in the open ere his opponent had recovered. Garman was insane with rage; Roger was icy calm. They had been fighting so long now and so furiously that he knew the end could not be long delayed.
For we wouldn't be deprived of your company for a lot would we, Annette?" "Mr. Payne was speaking of the land he bought," said Annette. "The land with the water on it." "Yes, dear." Garman's mocking eyes were on Payne as he spoke. "Water galore. But Payne is a worker. Youth, strength, high hopes, ambition! Payne will have that water off in a hurry.
Garman's astonishment defies description, when she learnt that he had met with a refusal. "Tell me," she groaned "tell me every word. Oh, the poor misguided child!" "I am afraid I cannot tell you every word that passed, Mrs. Garman," answered Martens, pale with emotion; "I am too much shocked and " "And surprised too, I am sure," said Mrs.
"There are. Who do you suppose got them their jobs? Garman in Washington. How do you suppose they guard? They guard so carefully that nobody can get into the rookeries, not a soul except Garman's gang. Officially the egret shooting is stopped. Actually it is an industry and is in Garman's hands.
We will ride back slowly." "Aunty " began the girl, and then, as Garman moved his horse toward her, she bowed her head and pulled her mount away from Garman's. "Very well, aunty," she said nervously, and there was relief in her bearing as she drew away from Garman. This time, as she cantered away she looked back. And in her eyes was a look of appeal, and a promise that she would come again.
He realized how narrowly he had escaped; had his kick missed Garman would have been on top of him. He must not go down again. His heart was thumping so his ribs shook, and his breath was coming in gulps between parted lips. Garman's lips were smashed beyond all resemblance to a mouth, and the heaving of his great chest told how the pace was telling. His first kick had done the work, however.
He could not see Flower Prairie from his post, but Blease could; and he knew that the squatter was on the alert, ready to throw in aid of Higgins. He kept his own position because all three had agreed that Garman's gang would attack from several directions. If a single shot answered Higgins the latter could deal with his adversary; if it was a volley Roger and Blease would rush to his assistance.
The muscles stood out on Jeff's lean jaw. James was a subject he could not yet discuss. "We're nailing the No Compromise flag to our masthead, Jenkins. We've got to prevent them from forcing through Garman's bill to-morrow. After that every day will be in our favor. Unless I'm mistaken the state will waken up as it never has before.
Now they've got possession, and their scheme is to carry me from court to court till I'm busted and tired out." As he spoke he realized fully what this meant. Garman's wealth and influence and the pomp and honor of Senator Fairclothe's position would be arrayed against him.
On the verandah he paused sharply, whirling about with the swiftness of a tiger. Ramos, the Mexican, had come galloping out of the jungle, flogging his horse as he came. "Well?" Garman's attitude, suggested the crouch of a tiger ready to spring. "Si! Yes; it is so!" "They've got him?" "Yes. He is on Palm Island, surrounded; not caught." "A-a-ah!"
