"I'll get ready for the trial to-night," he said "I want to see what it will do to a dummy figure. Guess I'll make a sort of scarecrow and stuff it with straw. I'll get Eradicate to help me. Rad! I say, Rad! Where are you?" "Heah I is, Massa Tom! Heah I is" called a colored man as he came around the corner of a small stable where he kept his mule Boomerang. "Was yo'-all callin' me?"
The captain's laugh was the loudest of all. "Six shots the señor took," he guffawed, "and missed with them all! Ah, didn't I tell you that the Americans are bluffers, like their game of poker? This one carries two guns and cannot use even one!" Kid Wolf smiled quietly. A faint look of amusement was in his eyes. "Maybe," he drawled, "yo'-all had bettah look at that hat."
"'Liza done sez as how yo'-all might be hongry aftah yo' ride," said the child, timidly, and then darted out of the room before Ruth and Helen could thank her. They were munching the goodies when Doctor Davison came smilingly in. "That's Mammy 'Liza all over," he said, shaking his head, but with his dark eyes twinkling.
He had lived a good many more years than Dawson and his experience with horseflesh was an exceptionally wide one. "Well, yo'-all needn't be a troublin' yo' sperrits 'bout de gait ob dese hyer horses.
"If yo'-all feel the same way as I do," Kid Wolf drawled as they filed out of the back room, "they won't have to make trouble. It'll be theah fo' 'em." As they approached the bar, Anton clutched The Kid's elbow. "There's Steve Stacy and Mullhall now," he warned in a low voice. Stacy and Mullhall were big men, heavily built.
He gave a sharp wrench and the revolver clattered down on the sidewalk. And then Curly Bill, who had witnessed the incident, stepped forward and ordered the visitor out of Galeyville. "Yo'-all don't need to think," the desperado added, "that you can come here and make a gun-play on our deputy.
"Clem," I said frigidly, "tell me just what you said to Mrs. Lansdale about me." He paltered, shifting on his feet, his brow contracted in perplexity, as if I had propounded some intricate trifle of the higher mathematics. "Huh! Wha what's that yo'-all is a-sayin', Mahstah Majah?" "Stop that, now! I needn't tell you twice what I said. Out with it!"
"No, sah, dat's whut he can't do!" insisted the colored man. "Why not?" asked Tom. "'Cause Boomerang's on guard, an' yo'-all knows how dat mule of mine can use his heels!" "I know, Rad," went on Tom; "but this fellow will find a way of keeping out of their way. We must hurry." "Oh, he's safe enough," declared the colored man. "I done tole Koku to stan' guard, too!
"Did you see him? What was he doing, Rad?" "Nuffin, same as usual. He done say I were too old to go on any more hexpiditions wif yo' an' I proved dat I wasn't." "Proved that you weren't, Rad? How?" And Tom looked anxiously at his colored helper. "Why, I done say t' him dat I was gwine wif yo'-all dis time, t' dat Comeaway country after a big orchard plant.
"I'm goin' to tell yo'-all something," said Curly Bill, "that mebbe it will come in handy to remember. Now here." He drew his forty-five and held it forth butt foremost in his right hand. "Don't ever go to take a man's gun that-a-way," he went on, "for when yo' are figuring that yo' have the drop on him and he is makin' the play to give it up Jest reach out now to get it."
