"You seem to forget that the brand on this dun is pretty well known." He coolly tied his horse as Lamy followed his own suggestion, hid his saddle, and turned his mount loose. They moved back to the edge of the timber and waited until they could see no one in sight about the house or in any direction in the valley. Then they started on a run for the house.
To finish with the things of the mundane, you strike in to Santa Fe from a desolate little junction called Lamy, where the railroad has built a picturesque little doll's house of a hotel after the fashion of an old Spanish mansion. As the distance is forty miles plus, you will find it safer and more comfortable to drive.
Thanks, sheriff." Lamy had come out of the cellar. Several of the men seemed to recognize him, but kept their silence with dubious looks in their eyes. "My guide, sheriff," said Rathburn, pointing gayly at Lamy. "He was very kind. He showed me around the country me not being very well acquainted around here.
Among the artists, Eugene Sue, Henriquel-Dupont, Tony Johannot, and Louis Boulanger had chosen the style of Louis XIII. Eugene Delacroix wore a Moorish dress, Horace Vernet an Arab costume. Winterhalter represented a Florentine of the fourteenth century, while Amaury Duval, Jadin, Eugene Lamy, Gudin, Raffet, &c., &c., were all got up with the most studied correctness.
Neither could he be sure he saw the moving shadows on the opposite side of the wide valley again. The night wore into early morning and the moon added its cold radiance to the faint glow of the myriads of stars. Rathburn sensed the nearness of enemies. Several times he stopped before Lamy, who sat upon his saddle blanket with his back against a tree trunk and dozed.
In the dim, narrow cellar Rathburn was holding his gun aimed at Lamy's heart. "You remember what I said about keepin' your mouth shut?" he asked in a low voice, his steel-blue gaze boring into the other's eyes. Lamy gasped. Then he slowly nodded his head. "That's your bond!" said Rathburn, as tramping feet sounded overhead. Rathburn rose and crouched under the trapdoor, gun in hand.
One of the most notable works of P. Franc Lamy, his golden "Venice: Morning" , will be found on the west wall. Room 17 shows little of striking interest. Augustin Hanicotte, one of the few French painters to adopt the strong colors and lights of the Scandinavian artists, is represented by the gay "Winter in the Low Country" . Andre Dauchez' "Le Pouldu" is a fine brown lowland landscape.
Lamy hesitated with a wild look in his eyes. The muzzle of Rathburn's gun pressed harder against his midriff. He dropped lightly into the cellar. Rathburn pulled the rug against the trapdoor as he followed, then let down the door, certain that the rug would fall into place.
He talked to his sister in a low voice while he ate. When he had finished he read the note for the third time; read it aloud, so his sister could hear. "LAMY: I meant to take you back and give you up, for I was pretty sore. Then I saw your resemblance to your small brother by the freckles and eyes and I remembered he had said something about you saying some decent things about me.
What dozens of scenes of that kind I have witnessed! I wound up my term of service at Eu. All there were still full of the Queen of England's visit, the episodes of which Isabey, Eugene Lamy, Alaux, and Simeon Fort were very busy transferring to canvas. At last my little naval division was paid off. I went back to Paris and re-entered the world, not of politics, but of social intercourse.
