An you bethed have done fer me but fer an idea he got.
Wal of course, shes
bound to find out sometime thet Im not so bad,after all.
Stone left the trail
he was hounding,and going around came up on the rim from the south. The girl
Malloy had half stripped had slipped to the floor in a faint,her white arms
spread.
As he went up theporch steps his quick eye took in the tarpaulin that
hid Bambridge. Madden was on his knees, his hands white with flour, but on the
moment heappeared riveted.
His next movewas to light a cigarette, and his
fingers were as steady as a rock.
Im jestcurious now to catch up with whatever
had these wheels. Shell come topresently of her own accord, an mebbe the shock
of her will beless.
Thegun slipped out on the floor and spun round. A vehicle
of some sort had comealong here headed south and had gone no farther, along
either road. As he went up theporch steps his quick eye took in the tarpaulin
that hid Bambridge. I watched,but seen no more rustlers swing.
Then he swore
the bigroll he had was fer you from Bambridge.
Wait till Croak comes, replied
the rustler leader.
Wal, Maddy, give me one of them gold birds ferluck, an keep
the rest.
That stung red into her marble cheeks and a blaze to her wonderful
eyes. An Im gonna take twenty years of shame an sufferin out onyou.
Lookin out,
I seen thet the cowboys had bunched over at the edge ofthe woods, jest out of
gunshot. A vehicle of some sort had comealong here headed south and had gone no
farther, along either road.
Stone gauged menof the range with speed and
precision.
It wasnt long after thet when I smelled smoke, resumed Malloy, after
apause.
This interruption had upset him and he had scarcelyadapted himself to
it. A hundred things thetare nothin at all to you, Molly Dunn, are what this
city girl needs. Stone curiously watched the deft Madden dress the wounds of
the injuredrustlers.
Id jest as lief see Croak cheerful as long
aspossible.
Molly, Ill be disappointed in you if you fall down on
thischance.
Stone had seen too manydead men not to know this was one. Malloy
had always made much of his few opportunities todegrade women.
He reminded
himself that he did this quite often.
Wal, Ill help her see you true, Molly,
returned Stone, patting herhand. But whoevers comin with mestart when I
yell.
Whats the fellar got who gave you thet cut, Croak? He did notneed to come
to close quarters with the driver. But all the time he was hatchin a deal on
his own hook. Wait till Croak comes, replied the rustler leader.
A lean,dark
rider, the stranger, sagged in his saddle. MollyDunn there, shes a Western kid,
an a little wildcat thets not afraidof desperadoes.
