C.," replied Enoch.
Curly pulled an old note book out of his hip pocket and set down the
address:
"All right, Judge, you'll hear from me sometime in the next few weeks.
I'll go back now and polish Agnew off."
And he hurried away, leaving Enoch to smoke his pipe thoughtfully as he
stared at the Ida.
CHAPTER XIV
LOVE IN THE DESERT
"While I was teaching my boy obedience, I would teach him his next
great obligation, service. So only could his manhood be a full
one."--_Enoch's Diary_.
Shortly after two o'clock, Diana announced that she was ready to start.
But the good-bys consumed considerable time and it was nearly three
before they were really on their way. Enoch's eyes were a little dim
as he shook hands with Milton.
"Curly has my address, Milton," he said, "drop me a line once in a
while. I shall be more deeply interested in your success than you can
realize."
"I'll do it, Judge, and when I get back East, I'll look you up. You're
a good sport, old man!"
"You're more than that, Milton! Good-by!" and Enoch hurried out in
response to Jonas' call.
They were finally mounted and permitted to go. Na-che rode first,
leading a pack mule, Jonas second, leading two mules, Diana followed,
Enoch bringing up the rear.
