.You fell rightinto my arms.And I--I did it involuntarily.""You may tell that to the marines," replied Janey, recovering, and gettingback to the business of her part.Page 23 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html"You won't believe me?" he demanded, getting red in the face."Certainly not," returned Janey, coldly, as she smoothed her disheveled hair."I wouldn't put it beyond you to treat every girl that way--especially if shewas fool enough to visit you alone out here."He glared at her in mingled wrath and distress."I never kissed a girl before!" he asserted, stoutly."Well!" exclaimed Janey, in simulated contemptuous doubt, when really she wasthrilled with what seemed the truth in his eye and voice."You must have apoor opinion of my intelligence.If you had come out like a man and told mestraight that you couldn't resist such an opportunity and were glad of it, Imight have forgiven you.It's nothing to be kissed.But you've pretended to beso self-righteous.You've scorned my young men friends.You've deceived meinto thinking highly of you--respecting you.And I honestly believe I did likeyou.Now I'm quite sure I ought never ride out alone."Randolph groaned.Then he leaped into the trench and seizing the pick he beganto dig with great violence, making the stones fly and the dust rise.Janeyspoke again, but either he did not or would not hear her.Whereupon sherecovered her sombrero and turned to find her way down the slope.She had justreached the rough part, and was searching for the trail when she heardRandolph behind her."I quite forgot.I can't let you attempt getting down here alone," he said."Mr.Randolph, I'd fall and break my neck before I'd let you help me,"returned Janey, loftily."I warn you not to fall again within my reach," he declared, grimly.Janey started down, aware that he followed closely.She was glad she had herface turned away from him.When she got to the broken sections of rock sheperformed apparent feats of balancing which would have put a tightrope walkerto shame.She would sway this way and that, and almost fall.Then she leapedthe fissures, and took some chances of hurting herself.But she descended thejumble of rocks safely, and then the rest of the slope with ease.Randolph hadhalted about a third of the way from the bottom, and when Janey looked overthe saddle of her horse she saw him sitting on a stone, watching her."Good-by, wild woman," he called."Good-by, cave man," she retorted.Mounting she rode away without looking back, which was an act that requiredwill power.Once in the cedars, out of sight and alone, she reveled in theunexpected turn and success of her venture.Randolph was simply an honest boy,very much in love, and at the mercy of his feelings.He had helped along herlittle plan by placing himself at a disadvantage.How astounded he had been,then furious at himself and her! Janey remembered that he had winced when hesaid it was nothing to be kissed.Well, she had lied in that.It was a greatdeal to be kissed, as she began to realize now.She had chosen to lead him tobelieve kissing was merely a casual and familiar thing in her young life, whenin reality she had not been nearly as indiscriminate in her games as she hadlet on.Janey believed she was angrier than ever with Randolph, a great deal more sonow than at her father.Yet there was a tempering voice she would not listento.It was piercing her armor to some extent when she rode right upon Ray, soabruptly that she was surprised.That ended her meditations, for Ray appearedcurious and keen about her visit to the archaeologist.It did not occur toJaney to tantalize Ray, or to stop and torment the cowboys at their fencepostdigging.By the time she was again at ease in her room she realized thecowboys had begun to fade out of the picture.Janey did not regret it, thoughshe wondered at herself.Naturally, however, if a girl was going to beabducted against her will, and maltreated, and finally married, she must bequite interested in the man who was daring to do all this.At lunch she was outspoken about her visit to Randolph's cave.The Bennetswere much pleased.Plain indeed was it that they were fond of Randolph andproud of his archaeological work."Wal, if you liked that Sagi hole you shore ought to see Beckyshibeta,"Page 24 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlremarked Bennet."Beckyshibeta! My, that's a jawbreaker," replied Janey, with a laugh."Whatand where is it?""Beckyshibeta means cow water.It's Navajo for a water hole.I never saw itwhen it wasn't muddy an' shore tastin' of cows.Reckon it's about sixty milesby trail, nearer across country.Wild rocky place where the Indians seldom go.Phil thinks they've a reason for avoiding it, same as in the case ofNonnezoshe, the great Rainbow Bridge.He has a notion there might be a buriedpueblo at Beckyshibeta.There are cliff dwellin's still in good state ofpreservation, an' many ruins.We seldom recommend Beckyshibeta to ourvisitors.It's far off.The cowboys hate the rocky country because they haveto pack hoss feed and water.An' shore there are places interestin' enoughnear at hand, an' comfortable for camp.But before you an' your father leaveyou want to see both Nonnezoshe an' Beckyshibeta.""I'm sure I'd love to," responded Janey.She did not meet the cowboys again that day until after supper when she walkedout to see the sunset, and to look for her father.This was always anattractive hour at the post.Indians were riding up and departing; thepicturesque cowboys, mostly through with work for the day, were lounging abouton the bales of wool and blankets.The moment Janey arrived they becameanimated as one man.Janey did not take much notice of them, despite theirtransparent acts and words.Strolling a little way she halted at the hitchingrail to watch the pageant in the gold-and-purple West."Mighty cool evenin'," remarked Mohave, in a voice that came clearly to Janey."Say, fellars, did anythin' hit you in the eye, kinda like a chunk of ice?"drawled Zoroaster."S-s-s-some of y-y-y-youse hombres has done s-s-s-somethin'," stutteredTay-Tay, belligerently."Our gracious Senorita is in one of her grand moods," Diego said."Aw, you punchers are locoed," added Ray, scornfully."Cain't you tell when toget off and walk?"Janey moved on out of earshot of her loyal cavaliers.It was the first timeshe had not paid attention to one or all of them.What had happened to her?But she soothed both conscience and concern with former arguments.In the west the bulge of desert waved black as ebony against the intense goldflare of sky.Above this belt, a broken reef of purple clouds appeared beatenupon by contending tides of silver and rose.Through a ragged rent the sinkingsun sent shafts of radiant light down behind the horizon.In the east the panorama was no less striking and beautiful.The desert sentits walls and domes and monuments of red rock far up into the sky of gorgeouspink and white clouds [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
