Jane came straight to Cultus, holding out her two hands. She didn’t say anything, and he smiled down at her. They were still looking at each other, when they heard the long-drawn whistle of an engine. The freight was ready to pull out for Broad Arrow.
“There goes Della,” said Jane softly.
“On that train?”
“She thought it was better that way, Cultus; but this time she will come back willingly as a witness, if they need her.”
Cultus nodded and looked at Harry.
“I won a horse,” he said.
“You earned a horse, yuh mean, Collins.”
“And the best animal on the JK belongs to you,” said Jim Kelton warmly. “And I won’t kick if you take a dozen.”
Cultus grinned and shook his head.
“No, thank yuh, Mr. Kelton. The sorrel I got from Harry is a wonderful animal, but I’ll turn him back to yuh, as soon as I go out to the Triangle X and catch my own horse grazing around there somewhere.”
