WHISPERING ROCK by JOHN LEBAR
FOURTH INSTALLMENT
SYNOPSIS: . . . Ruth Warren, living in the East, comes into possession of three-quarter interest in an Arizona ranch, left to her in the will of her only brother, reported to have died while on business in Mexico. With her ailing husband and small child she goes to Arizona to take possession, thinking the climate may prove beneficial to her husband's weakened lungs. Arriving at the nearest town, she learns that the ranch, "Dead Lantern," is 85 miles across the desert. Charley Thane, old rancher and rural mail carrier, agrees to take them to "Dead Lantern" gate.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Snavely pursed his lips thoughtfully, then shook his head. "No—no use to see any more lawyers—they'll jest gouge us, stir up somethin' so's they'd have to be hired to straighten it out ag'in. No use in that. You've seen your lawyer an' you've got the will. The will's what counts—jest as long as I recognize it is beln' what it says it is, there's no need messin' around with law." A queer light came into his eyes and his voice took on a curious hollow lift and fall.
"All right," said the girl quickly. She was glad to settle all conversation relative to the law.
"I'm mighty sorry I didn't know you was coming," remarked Snavely. "Me an' Ann ain't exactly fixed for company. But I'll be seeln' what I can do. Between now an' supper I'll just be fixin' up the place out back in the old house."
"It'll subscribe to that," said Warren. "What kind of trouble did she get into down in Texas—did she just prove too destructive to the city hall?"
"Well no. She killed a man—beat him to death with a chair. But it was his fault." Snavely paused. "He wasn't no small man, neither," he added as an interesting afterthought.
For quite some time the conversation hung fire. Snavely sat as before waiting.
Ruth began by asking about the ranch. To all of her questions Snavely returned prompt and pessimistic answers. It was soon evident that there would be no need of any one working out the exact value of three-quarters.
"But couldn't we get some new cattle if that's what we need?" asked the girl.
"We could if we had the money.
Snavely rose and entered room. In a moment he reg gave the girl a sheet of paper brother's handwriting. "You was always interested in things about this country. Try to find somebody who heard the voice, but he had Then some Indians come neighborhood to gather acorn brother got one old bush-had education, to come up to an' tell about the legend here when your brother took the old buck said."
The girl read aloud from "THE LEGEND OF THE INDIANS live in the San Juan They grow what they eat and ing. They do never fight or for so long they forget how."
"One time some bad I quick from the north. These what they eat and fight my village and all the field Indian is burn up. All the become dead. They do not it is to fight."
"But there is one very w He is medicine man. He takes and the little children away them in these mountains young men try to fight. But the bad Indian are on the wise old man come arroyo with the women and children he look back. He Indian follow. Where th the arroyo he stop. The say to the women and the 'You must go on. Go in of the mountains and wait stay four days. Then go..."
"A queer light came into his eyes and his voice took on a curious hollow lift and fall.
"All right," said the girl quickly. She was glad to settle all conversation relative to the law.
"I'm mighty sorry I didn't know you was coming," remarked Snavely. "Me an' Ann ain't exactly fixed for company. But I'll be seen' what I can do. Between now an' supper I'll just be fixin' up the place out back in the old house."
"The old ruin? But—it's falling to pieces!"
For an instant the man's body tensed, then he laughed—a thin, dry little laugh which had in it something of the sound of crumpled paper. "The old place has seen its best days, lady, but it's all we got. There's two rooms that's as good—just about—as they ever was. Your brother has slept there—it's plenty comfortable—jest a little mite dirty right now."
"But it's full of great cracks—one of those walls might—"
"No, no. Nothing ever falls in this country without there's a rain or a big wind. When it storms, you can come in here in case anything wants to fall. Otherwise, you'll be plenty safe. We don't have more'n a couple of storms a year anyways."
After supper the adobe itself was visited. Huge and dismal the great bulk towered above them in the night. Yet, once inside the walls looked quite safe by the light of the oil lamp on the table. The adjoining rooms were certainly more spacious and conveniently arranged than anything in the ranch house. As Snavely had said, the place was dirty. But the dirt was the dirt of earth—clean, dry dust. Ann, the giantess, had just finished arranging the bedclothes on three canvas cots.
Ann had picked up a lighted lantern, left the room and took the path which led to the barn, the lantern swinging in long arcs from her arm.
Back in the living room of the ranch house Snavely remarked that he had sent Ann to the gate in the buckboard for the baggage.
"Oh, but that wasn't necessary," said the girl. "We could get along until to-morrow—it's such an awful trip in the dark."
Snavely shrugged. "She'll be back in a couple of hours.
Snavely sat near the fireplace, half facing the man and woman who were seated near the cot. His attitude was that of one who is waiting to be asked foolish questions—as though he were about to be quizzed by a pair of children. Ruth's first question changed this attitude.
"Who is Ann—is she your—"
"No, by God!" The man thrust his body forward and his hands gripped the arms of the chair as if he were trying to hit his feet. His pale face was illuminated by sunlight.
"I was only going to ask what you have just told us, Mr. Snavely." The girl's heart was in her throat.
But it wouldn't be no use—not enough water for more stock. We've got some water, but it ain't close enough to where the feed is."
"How could we get more watering places?"
"Havin' it rain would help. In this country a waterin' place is a represa, a dirt tank. You take an' dig a basin in the ground where a gully runs. When it rains the water comes down the gully an' fills the pond. We got plenty of them ponds but they're so silted up an' shallow they don't hold water long an' it don't rain anyways. It rained just enough last winter to fill the biggest pond on the place; that an' the well here, is all the water we got. There’s four other ponds but they're powder dry. An' all the grass is sunburned an' wispy-like."
"Mr. Snavely," asked Warren, "perhaps we should wait until tomorrow to see the books—but could you give an idea of the earnings?"
Snavely observed the young man for a moment. "Yes, Mr. Warren, I can. There ain't any earnings. You can see the books any time you want—they ain't complicated, neither. We sell twice a year, after the fall an' spring round-ups. An' we buy twice a year—stock up the commissary. Grey took his share of last fall's sale with him—an' some of mine too, if it come to that. This spring I sold all I could an' got enough to a little more'n stock up the commissary. If you folks aim to stay on I reckon I'll have to go to town again before fall." Snavely spoke as though nothing could be more distasteful than going to town.
"But, Mr. Snavely," asked the girl, "isn't there any money?"
Snavely stood up and took an old medicine man. He takes and the little children away them in these mountains young men try to fight. But the bad Indian are on the arroyo with the women and children he look back. He Indian follow. Where therethe arroyo he stop. The way to the women and the lYou must go on. Go in of the mountains and wait stay four days. Then go valley and make again therefield."
"The wise old medicine in the arroyo and wait for Indian by the big rock, little breeze he find playing rock. He make this little soft whisper. Then things that medicine man all is ready he lay down rock and let his life go."
"The bad Indian come with The chief try to step over old man. But he stop there come a little whis bad Indian hear the whitemen things and they are They go out of the Sananday they do never come."
"Always there is the arroyo. Sometimes More I do not know!"
Beneath the legend Ha written, "The old man tell centuries the Indians have bowler in the gulch as a They believe that when great the voice will advi..."
Snavely shrugged. "She'll be back in a couple of hours.
Snavely sat near the fireplace, half facing the man and woman who were seated near the cot. His attitude was that of one who is waiting to be asked foolish questions—as though he were about to be quizzed by a pair of children. Ruth's first question changed this attitude.
"Who is Ann—is she your—"
"No, by God!" The man thrust his body forward and his hands gripped the arms of the chair as if he were about to spring to his feet. His pale eyes glittered. "She's a nigger half-breed I'm hirin' to take care of the house an' help on the place. Anybody says different is a—" he paused.
"I was only going to ask what you have just told us, Mr. Snavely." The girl's heart was in her throat.
Snavely settled back in his chair and his fingers strayed to his forehead. After a moment he spoke casually. "Ann's a queer creature. Strange. Her blood, I reckon. Her father was a heavyweight niger prize fighter an' her mammy was an Apache squaw. 'Big' Jackson, her daddy, was born a slave. He was in the army durin' the Indian trouble in this country—stationed at San Carlos. I reckon Ann's the result of a raid on some Apache village. Mostly she's called 'Indian' Ann—you can see she favors her mammy's folks—straight hair an' that Indian face. Must have got her size an' color more from her daddy, though. Ann don't get along with towns—this here civilization. Down in Texas she run a dance hall an' saloon, but she got in trouble an' drifted out this way. I'd seen her before, an' when I runs onto her in town one day, she was broke an' lookin' for a job. That was just after your brother went to Mexico." Snavely paused, his eyes on the girl's face. "So—I hire her. Knowin' her like I did. I felt sorry for her. There's nothin' bad about Ann. She jest can't stand beln' in town—spends most of her time in jail when she is in town. It ain't her fault—but folks give her liquor, you see, an' when she's drunk she's a God-a-mighty terror."
"How much do you suppose she weighs?" asked Warren.
"Close to three hundred, I reckon—solid as a rock. She's powerful. You'll look long ways before you find a man as strong as Ann is."
An' we buy twice a year—stock up the commissary. Grey took his share of last fall's sale with him—an' some of mine too, if it come to that. This spring I sold all I could'an' got enough to a little more'n stock up the commissary. If you folks aim to stay on I reckon I'll have to go to town again before fall." Snavely spoke as though nothing could be more distasteful than going to town.
"But, Mr. Snavely," asked the girl, "isn't there any money?"
Snavely stood up and took an old daybook from the mantel. Slowly he turned the pages, wetting his thumb at every page. He looked up. "There's a hundred an' fifty-one dollars an'eight cents of partnership money in the bank."
Closing the book with a snap, he returned it to the mantel, reseated himself and waited patiently for more questions.
"Mr. Snavely," said Warren, "when we were coming along the road shortly before we saw the house, we heard—a well, we had a queer sansation, as if some one who was very close by spoke to us—"
"You did?" Snavely leaned forward and watched Warren's face keenly. "Was it by a big rock down in the gulch?"
"Yes—yes, that's where it was. At least that's where we thought we heard the whisper—it was rather weird."
"Tell me about it—what did it say?"
It's hard to describe. We stopped at the rock a moment, and when we were leaving, this voice told us to—to go back. The unaccountable thing about it was that the words seemed to have been spoken just a few inches from our ears. We were rather tired and a bit unstrung, though, perhaps our imaginations—"
Snavely frowned and shook his head. "No—you heard it all right."
But what is—who was it and how in the world was it done? Why was it done?"
Snavely thought a moment. "Oh, it's a superstition—I guess you'd call it."
"I wouldn't!" breathed the girl, with a shiver.
"But we heard something,' said Warren."
