Chapter 20
Oregon had put a epell on them.
It had put a spell on all of them
except for Tadlock and Davlsworth
and Brewer and McBee except for
one, Mercy McBee, and Llje would
try to act like real klnfolka to that
one McBee like Iiebecca told him
to, Rebecca had taken the news
of the wedding quiet, as If she'd
seen It coming, and hadn't argued
that he knew of, or scolded, or
asked Brownie to wait. "Maybe it
ain't the way I might hope, Llje,"
she whispered so that Brownie
wouldn't hear.
"It ain't the way I'd hoped."
Her hand patted him. "We got
to take what comes and make the
best of it and not the worst. You
be nice to Mercy."
; But in the morning It was just
this morning, come to think of it
what worried her was what the
girl would wear. It turned out
the girl was dressed all right. Had
shoes on and a dress with a frilly
collar.
Weatherby had done the trick
quick, Knowing the train must move,
but still the knot was likely tight
enough too tight, it might turn out.
It was a friendly train, except
for one or two, and good-wishing
lor the man ana wile. Mack had
even tried to give a yoke of oxen
as a wedding present, and Brownie
had refused It, acting not polite
enough.
By the' time winter came, God
willing, he would be In Oregon and
have a cabin bulldlne. Evans could
imagine himself in it. There he
was. and Beckv with him. and
Brownie. And Mrs. George Brown
Evans, who had been Mercy Mc
Bee. He sat in the cabin while he rode
his horse, and he saw a thing far
off. toward the touch of land and
sky. He studied it while his mind
sat ricking in the new house on
the Willamette.
The could-be of it pinched him
suddenly, and he pulled his horse
up, not ready to believe, while his
eyes said no and yes. "Rock!" he
said into the wind. "Hey, you,
Rockt" He heeled his horse into a
walk.
He sat still in the saddle when
he had come to him, seeing and
numbed bv seelne the biz head
knocked in and one eye pushing
from its socket and the old muz-
ale stained by blood.
He climbed down from the Baddle
and stooped and lifted a paw and
knew by the stiffness of the lift
that this was not a fresh-done
thing.
For all his faults Tadlock was
too muoh of a man for this. Who,
then? He didn't need to ask again.
He knew as well as a man could
know. "Never can tell what'll hap
pen," The flicker in the muddy
eye. They were McBee's way of let
tins him know, of making sure
he wouldn't miss the knowing. They
were the last laugh, They were the
J letting even for all the wounds to
lttle pride. And he had taken them
for something else, disremembering
that he had warned himself to look
out for sneaky tricks.
McBee had thought it safe to do
the deed, since he was parting from
the train. Maybe he had walked
from the fort last night, his mind
made up for California, and seen
the old dog dozing by the wagon.
It could even be, Evans thought
without believing that McBee was
trying to excuse himself this morn
ing, trying to say he'd've acted dif
ferent if he'd known r.bout the mar
riage at the time,
. Evans straightened up. The train
had crawled closer, and there was
Just one thing to do. A poor thing
but the best. Brownie mustn't ever
know, or Mercy or even Becky,
Down toward the river there wns
a thick patch of woods. He rode to
the far side of it and got off ond
carried the body deep Inside and
laid it down. "I reckon you under
stand, Rock?" he said out loud,
not caring if the words were fool
ish. It seemed to Evans now that one
day was like onother and that
all were bad. They were all work
and worry and weariness, ond dust
and sun and wind and night and
sun again and work again. He
tried to whistle up the old, bold
hope, but It had disappeared. Tills
sorry land was endless.
Violent country. Land of frac
ture and ot fire, boiled up ami
broken when God first made the
world. Range of rattlesnake and
jackass rabbit and cactus hot as
any hornet. The great gorge of the
Snake, the churning cut so steep
below a horseman couldn't ride to
It, so far a walker wore out climb
ing down and back.
Evens knew this time would pass.
He was right to try for Oregon.
It was partly that old Rock was
dead and the place empty where he
would have trotted. And portly it
:waa Brownie's marriage, though not
so much as once ond the manner ol
the man and wife as if thev linri in
take their state dead serious.
He couldn't believe, back there
at the fort, that the road would be
so hard. For two days afterwards
he couldn't believe it yet, while
the train rolled to the Portneuf
crossing and on to American Falls.
The next dov and the davs that
followed showed him what his mind's
eye couldn't see.
A river out of hell, the Snake,
or a river still In helll Summers
had called him off one day. and
they had teetered on the great lip
of ita gorge and peered below and
seen It like a frothey ribbon, and
what It was was sweep and plunge
and thunder like nothing that he
quite could believe.
He hod pulled back, dizzy, and
the question Inside him must have
shown, for Dick had said, "We'll
lord her Just the same."
And once, late starting after hunt'
tng wandering cows, thev had comu.
ed entirely dry and found the stock
more scattered in the morning.
That was a thing that bothered
man ttie thirst and growing
weaaness ana most 01 an me nun
iter of cattle and horses and teams
Coming on to good campsites, on
to grass and easy water, men and
women always tried to believe the
hardest miles were rolled. That
was the way at Salmon Falls Creek,
where everything was plenty, and at
Salmon Falls. Though grass and fuel
were scanty at the falls, the Indians
had fresh salmon and cakes of
pounded berries to trade for cloth
ing, powder, knives and fishhooks.
Seeing the Salmon Falls Indians,
Evans knew why Summers spoke
so low of the fish-eating tribes.
rney were menaiy ana talkative
and sometimes funny, but childish
minded and dirty and naked except
mayDe ior a raoon sxin, ana tney
ate anything lizards and grasshop
pers and crickets.
The camp had been a good camo
anyhow, or not so bad as some,
no matter If grass and wood were
scarce and the Indians pretty sor
ry. Ana me great springs mat
uurst out oi me soua norm wan oi
the Snake gave the people some
thing new to talk about. Sorlnz aft
er spring there was, like sunken
rivers pouring out. which Summers
called the Chutes.
More sand came afterwards, more
sage, more rocks, more no-grass,
more no-water, more worn-out
stock, Now they vere about to low
er down the bluff and try the ford.
Summers rode alongside to sav.
"We can make It, I'm thlnkin', with
out hold-back ropes or anything.
Steep but not too bad."
Maybe we better hitch a rone to
the first wagon and some of us
walk along, just in case," Evans said
to Summers.
Summers gave a nod.
The way was long and steep, but
not so steep by Dick's meandering
that two or three men. depending
on the load and team, couldn't man
age irouQie u u came, fatcn's out
fit reached the bottom without real
need of help, still, it semed wise
to send men with each wagon. ,
The crossincr didn't look so rislcv.
though, being broken by two Islands
uiat sat. nice low rails in tne stream,
Evans tilted his head and saw
tne white sun veering down. "Dick."
he said, "there's grass aplenty on
them Islands."
"Plenty."
Evans spoke to the others as well
t to Summers. "Let's Dush the
livestock to 'em and let 'em get their
im ana men une our- in me morn
ing. They'll be rested and fed both."
Summers was saying. "Good idea."
and the rest were nodding.
Evans laid the yoke down and let
the team step out and saw his in
law daughter looking at him. "Wore
out?" he asked, making himself
smile.
She gave him Just the ghost of
an answering smile. "I'm all right."
