Leaning above this now, with his elbows on the table and his head in his hands, he sank into a profound study, then startled us by giving a snort and springing up, jostling the table so violently that the dynamite slid gracefully toward the edge. Most happily Tommy grabbed it in time. "Lor', sir, 'twas a close shave," Gates whispered, wiping his forehead.
And you know after those Reds have got beaten up and Shawn Grady lynched, you wouldn't like to have any rumor get out that that dynamite was planted by your own people. Ted and me will keep out of sight, and we won't sell the jewels for a while, and everything will be all right. "Yours respectfully, "Edythe.
Overland, leaning on his shovel, drew his sleeve across his forehead. "Reckon I'll go down and wake Collie. He'll sleep his head off and feel worse 'n thunder." "I'll go," said Winthrop, throwing aside a pan of dirt with a fine disregard of its eventual value. "I want some tobacco, anyway." "Fetch a couple of sticks of dynamite along, Billy. I'll put in one more shot for to-night."
"Don't ever get behind one of these mustangs," said Withers, warningly, as Shefford came up. "You might be killed.... Eat your bite now. We'll soon be out of here." Shefford had been late in awakening. The others had breakfasted. He found eating somewhat difficult in the excitement that ensued.

If we were sure it would stop at McGuire we'd run it. But it won't.
I did not care what became of me as long as I did not implicate you. I could not do that. "So I changed my plans. Confederates supplied the dynamite, and I got this clock-work, in the brass-bound box, to set it off by means of electrical wires.
