Two months ago Trevors had reduced Tripp's wages and had threatened another cut. "Just to make me quit, you know," he added. "And I would have quit if it had been any other outfit in the world." "I know," she said, and she did understand. "Go on. What was the excuse for canning you?" "Case of lung-worms," he told her. "Some of the calves, I don't know just how many yet.
Let Bayne Trevors or one of his gang set foot on Blue Lake land, and I'll tell you what I think of you, Carson! Or is the job going to be too big for you?" Carson smiled deprecatingly. "I'd like to see 'em try it," he said in that soft, whispering voice which upon occasions was characteristic of him. "I sure would, Miss Judy!" "That's all this morning, Carson," she said quietly.
Trevors, with little to say to any one, took his departure in the forenoon, extracting from Hampton the promise to ride over and see the lumber-camp some day soon. Judith, held at the office by a lot of first-of-the-month details, did not get away until close to eleven o'clock that morning. Then she rode swiftly down the river, a purpose of her own in mind.
And as Bayne Trevors got unsteadily to his feet and sank slumping into the chair offered him, two big tears formed in his eyes and rolled down his cheeks. The first tears in many a year, the tears of a strong man broken for the first time in his life. "Sand did it!" grunted Melvin. "Just sand, Carson." "I'll stick aroun' an' see he moves on, Bud," Carson followed Lee to say. "Oh, he'll go.
Let the state of the Trevors go Martin, marry Joanna Godden and we will come to you for our mangolds Lawrence, if you were not hindered by your vows, I should suggest your marrying one of the Miss Southlands or the Miss Vines, and then we could have a picturesque double wedding. As for me, I will build on more solid foundations than either of you, and marry my cook."
"You will help me in every way you can while you are with me?" "When I work for a man or a woman," he added gravely, "I don't hold back anything." "All right. Then start in right now and tell me about the gang Trevors has taken on. Are they all crooks?" "I wouldn't say so. I wouldn't put it that strong." "That little gray, quick-spoken man with the smelly pipe he's straight, isn't he?"
You're the right sort inside; just as soon as this fracas is over, when you know that we were right and that all this is a put-up job on you, your friend Trevors playing you for a sucker and getting Miss Sanford out of the way, you'll say we were right and I know it." "That so?" snapped Hampton. "You just start now and keep going, Bud Lee, if you don't want to do time in the jug."
She'll help me to live at last I'll be able to live the best life for me, body and soul, down here in the sea air, with no town rubbish ..." "It sounds a good thing," said Lawrence. "After all, father, there really isn't much use trying to keep up the state of the Trevors and all that now ..."
They stared at her as they might have done had the heavens opened and an angel come down, or the earth split and a devil sprung up. She looked in upon them with quick, keen eyes which sought to take every man's measure. They returned her regard with a variety of amazed expressions. Never since these men had come to work for Bayne Trevors had a woman so much as ridden by the door.
And at last, to the eager gaze of the men in the bunk-house, there appeared the two wounds, one upon the outer right shoulder, the other upon the left forearm. It was Lee who, pushing the clumsy cook aside, silently made the two bandages from strips of Trevors's shirt. It was Lee who brought a flask of brandy from which Trevors drank deep. And then came Judith.
