Well, thats what Ive got you and the other boys
for,Smooth.
He promise we neverfight again against the Mexicans
or the Americans.
The others, bitter, sullen, hadmarched away into
captivity. Wichita Billings, who knew these boys better than they knewthemselves,
eyed him suspiciously. Immediately hehad recognized Luis Mariel.
Oncet in a while they may a couple fellers come up
withsome more critters fer you. Because I dont know whether I love you enough or
not. The oil lamps were burning brightly in thebarroom of the Hog Ranch. Sure you
can; but that isnt the question, Luke, repliedthe girl, sadly.
Fire away, Chita, said the man, with easy
familiarity. He recalled how he used to pity any who had been bornwhite. Lord, I
wouldnt know what to do, Ad, she cried. Luketucked his shirt tails into his
trousers, grabbed hisStetson, and bolted for the corral.
Her somber reveries were interrupted by the
approach ofKreff.
The oil lamps were burning brightly in thebarroom
of the Hog Ranch. Luis Mariel was far from being either a criminal or viciousyoung
man.
If you do you wont get no fifty dollars cause you
wontneed em where Ill send you. If he could do that, how could he have killed
yourfather?
He thought about the matter a great
deal.
It aintright an fittin thet a girl should hev to
bother withsech things.
Then there is the question of the expenditure
ofaccumulated wages, if any have accumulated.
His voice was low and soothing andprotective. Here,
his estimate of the Gringoes had notbeen materially raised.
He had promised that the Apacheswould fight no more
against them.
Yes, Chita, replied King, but I cant believe that
hedid it. I did see somethinonusual today, he blurted suddenly.
