Rimrock Trail Wyatt once, staggering out of some blind pig in Hereford, still existent despite the suffrage sweeping, babbled in maudlin drunkenness of his determination to get even with Plimsoll for stealing his sweetheart.

Rimrock Trail In a few days, if the camp produced from grass roots, as was expected and hoped, Plimsoll would gather in his harvest.

Rimrock Trail Plimsoll, the lousy swine, he stole my gal, God blast him! Rimrock Trail We couldn't go back very well and I could see from the way Plimsoll grinned that he was going to be nasty. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll had enlisted others of his following, none too fearless, to loiter in the brush and, in the general confusion, fire to cripple and to kill. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll twisted Molly's wrist so that the quirt fell to the ground. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll's likely taken her over to the Waterline range country. Rimrock Trail Then came the range of Plimsoll's Waterline, a rough country, unknown to Sandy, with scant food for many cattle, but sweet grass enough for a horse herd and containing pockets where the slicktails sometimes came. Rimrock Trail But there was something in Plimsoll that delighted in playing with a victim he felt sure of. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll, with his ejection from Hereford, the advent of woman suffrage, the coming of Brandon and other irate horse owners, had begun to realize that his days were getting short in the land. Rimrock Trail He ran outside and Plimsoll followed to the door, lethargy leaving him in the face of disaster though he could not think fast or clearly. Rimrock Trail "Go get him a slug of whisky," Plimsoll ordered Cookie. Rimrock Trail Molly was stirring and Plimsoll scowled blackly at her. Rimrock Trail The row that had culminated at the Waterline Ranch, ending in the trouble between Plimsoll and Wyatt, had brewed steadily. Rimrock Trail "The chaps you sent up to move yore tent an' truck didn't make a good job of it, Plimsoll," drawled Sandy. Rimrock Trail "You did some missing on your own account," retorted Plimsoll. Rimrock Trail At the cabin Plimsoll took Molly from the saddle and carried her into the rude interior. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll said in a lower voice as the ranch chef went out of the door with his arms piled with provisions. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll had from three to four hours' start, he figured. Rimrock Trail Bets had been made on Plimsoll's backing down at sunrise; on the cowman, Mormon; on the bully, Russell. Rimrock Trail If not, sooner or later he would cut Plimsoll's sign and follow it to the end. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll took the rein of Blaze again and they broke into a canter. Rimrock Trail "You'd better sit up and eat nicely, my dear," said Plimsoll as he unbound her. Rimrock Trail As if a trigger had been released Plimsoll's face became inflamed with a passionate fury. Rimrock Trail It was Plimsoll's way—the professional gambler's way—to play his cards until he knew himself beaten. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll's right hand, scattering blood, groped blindly for the gun on the table behind him. Rimrock Trail "The show's gone wrong," he cried to Plimsoll, who stared at him half-comprehending. Rimrock Trail "And led 'em straight here," said Plimsoll with a curse, getting to his feet. Rimrock Trail The handkerchief about Plimsoll's wounded wrist was now a sodden rag, but the loss of blood had cleared his brain. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll had agreed to sell me his interest in certain claims which showed well in assay reports. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll stooped over Molly, coming out of her faint, and gagged her with her own scarf as her eyes opened and looked at him. Rimrock Trail And, if Plimsoll had been warned, what had become of Molly? Rimrock Trail Either Plimsoll had not passed the peaks, was in the woods, or he had come and gone. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll was the master-mind of his crowd; they appreciated and acknowledged his capacity for details. Rimrock Trail However, I suppose Plimsoll can be located later. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll carried with him a fine pair of binoculars and, as they rode leisurely on and reached a vantage-point, he swept the tumbled horizon for signs of any strange riders. Rimrock Trail Hahn had some objections, but Plimsoll overruled them plausibly enough. Rimrock Trail "You go ahead, Cookie, and open up the gate," said Plimsoll. Rimrock Trail "That man Brandon's got some trick up his sleeve to trap Plimsoll," said Sam, watching them ride off. Rimrock Trail You might send off some stuff about that, Blake, work in this Sandy Bourke and Plimsoll affair and find out what this all-night racket was about. Rimrock Trail A roulette dealer from Plimsoll's and a bartender ranged themselves alongside Russell, together with Plimsoll himself. Rimrock Trail "There's bad blood between you two," he said to Plimsoll and Sandy. Rimrock Trail The favor I want of you is to tip me off if Plimsoll appears about to leave the country. Rimrock Trail Sandy stepped back and Plimsoll, after a few whispered words to Russell, followed suit. Rimrock Trail Every little while Sandy twitched a line that was attached to a clumsy but effective rocker he had contrived beneath one of the dummies they had built from the stuff that Plimsoll had not reclaimed. Rimrock Trail The issue between Sandy Bourke and Plimsoll, crowded aside for the moment, was now paramount. Rimrock Trail Thoughts of Plimsoll and his revenges did not bother Sandy's head. Rimrock Trail I have a commission from a man in Chicago to look up some horses for him and I had heard of Plimsoll before, not over-favorably. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll shot at one of his men named Wyatt, I believe, and started to run him off the ranch. Rimrock Trail The story of what had happened during the day had buzzed in everybody's ears, from Roaring Russell's discomfiture to Plimsoll's failure to hold the claims and the eviction notice served on him by Sandy. Rimrock Trail It lay alone, and few visited it save Plimsoll's own associates. Rimrock Trail As he adjusted the powerful glasses to a better focus Plimsoll's face twisted to an ugly smile. Rimrock Trail And they were tolerably certain that Plimsoll had ambushed the two from the Three Star. Rimrock Trail "I've got an itch to give Plimsoll an' his pals a run fo' their money," went on Sandy. Rimrock Trail Sorry to have upset things fo' you," went on Sandy, "but this was a personal matteh between myse'f an' Plimsoll that had to be settled pronto an' permanent. Rimrock Trail An' this Plimsoll has got some mighty close friends where they do the most good. Rimrock Trail It was whispered that the brands on Plimsoll's horse ranch were not those usually known in the county, nor even in the counties adjoining. Rimrock Trail Jordan and Plimsoll strode on up the pitch. Rimrock Trail His gun spurted fire, the expensive Stetson broadrim seemed lifted from Plimsoll's hair by an invisible hand. Rimrock Trail A horse ranch run by a man named Plimsoll. Rimrock Trail It was a week after Plimsoll's dismissal from the Three Star premises, that one of the riders, coming back from Hereford with the mail, brought rumors of a new strike at Dynamite. Rimrock Trail Lawyer Feeder, who run for state senator an' whose record's none too dainty, is in cahoots with Jordan an' Plimsoll. Rimrock Trail A man's speech don't have to be censored, Plimsoll. Rimrock Trail Sandy had said what he wanted and knew that Plimsoll interpreted it correctly. Rimrock Trail He was not especially interested in Waterline happenings so long as Plimsoll remained set. Rimrock Trail They went into the back room amicably after Plimsoll had recalled his lookout. Rimrock Trail He spoke in a jesting note, his weathered face impassive as the shell of a walnut, but Plimsoll scowled, noting the turn of Buck's bland countenance in his direction for the first time. Rimrock Trail The inner door swung silently as at a signal and Jim Plimsoll came out. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll's roll had never yet been very badly crimped. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll had learned of the visit of the men who had come with Bill Brandon to investigate Plimsoll's methods of running the Waterline Horse Ranch. Rimrock Trail Eyes shifted from Sandy to Plimsoll, to Hahn. Rimrock Trail The crowd made way as Plimsoll walked across to his safe, twirled the combination, opened the doors and took out a stack of bills. Rimrock Trail As the pair went out at the rear, Plimsoll jumped into the front room. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll and Jordan cursed, the former in pure anger, the latter with some appreciation of the stratagem for delay. Rimrock Trail But there was none of them, from Plimsoll down, who had any fancy to stand up against the guns of Sandy, or of Mormon and Sam, when the breaks were anywhere nearly even. Rimrock Trail Talk points to Plimsoll, so do some facts, but not enough. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll's pony was standing under the trees and the gambler turned and, with an attempted laugh, swaggered toward it. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll's dark eyes were boring through the dealer's lowered lids. Rimrock Trail "I'm real pleasant to the sheriff an' sort of indifferent to this here Plimsoll person?" he suggested. Rimrock Trail Mormon's suggestion as to his private grudge against Plimsoll was not without foundation. Rimrock Trail Jordan had taken up his brother-in-law's grievance with the greater zest since he had a half-interest in Plimsoll's Good Luck Pool Parlors, a share that had cost him good money. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll threw a glance at the man who had been posted for lookout and he left with a curious gaze that took in Sandy's guns. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll left them and went back to a table near the door, where his chair was turned down at a game of draw. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll's eyes shifted to Mormon's big body, stiffening to the crouch that prefaced shooting. Rimrock Trail His conversation with Plimsoll might have been of the friendliest nature gauged by his attitude. Rimrock Trail Plimsoll an' Eke Jordan, the sheriff, are like two peas in a pod. Rimrock Trail Jordan pulled up, Plimsoll close behind him, and the depot building shut off Sandy's view. Rimrock Trail I caught a word or two that Plimsoll's to the bottom of the rush. Rimrock Trail There were rumors, smothered by Plimsoll's stand with the authorities, of bands of horses, driven by strangers, arriving wearied—and always by night—at his corrals. Rimrock Trail Then the door of the cabin opened and the man who had volunteered to find Plimsoll emerged. Rimrock Trail Mormon hitched up the buckskins, but followed the sheriff and the scowling, silent Plimsoll back to the car. Rimrock Trail The three partners met the jumpers, now headed by Plimsoll, on the border of the claims. Rimrock Trail "This man Plimsoll aims to make him a fortune," he continued. Rimrock Trail The girl may be his heir," said the bald-headed man, "but Plimsoll is assignee.
