At two miles came upon another large creek, having a running stream to the south of west, and coming from the north of east. Timber, melaleuca, palm, and gum, with some of other descriptions. This I have named the Katherine, in honour of the second daughter of James Chambers, Esquire.
And you had six before?" "Yes, uncle," replied Duane. "Five and six. That makes eleven. By gum! A man's a man, to carry all that lead. But, Buck, you could carry more. There's that nigger Edwards, right here in Wellston. He's got a ton of bullets in him. Doesn't seem to mind them none. And there's Cole Miller. I've seen him. Been a bad man in his day. They say he packs twenty-three bullets.
Then from the jar he took a box of rock crystal containing a sort of greenish compound which he kneaded into a little gum gum tragacanth, I afterward learned, and bade us taste. It was not at all unpleasant to the taste, and as nothing happened, except the suave droning of the mystic before us, we ate several of the gum pellets.
And, by gum, it's old hell-a-mile jes' a-hittin' his heels. Where you been at, you old skeezicks?" "How are you, Johnnie? And what are you doin' here?"

A heavy silence succeeded. It was broken by a murmur from Mr. Tubbs. "Wonderful that's what I call wonderful! Talk about the eloquence of the ancients I believe, by gum, this is on a par with Congressional oratory!" "A vision, Miss Browne," said Mr. Shaw gravely, "must be an interesting thing.
Because the maid's sniffing around there, she's reading a post-card some one left on the side-table. Oh yes, and she's chewing gum. Laura has certainly departed. Probably Laura is chewing gum herself at the present moment, now that she's out from under the eye of her maid.
When Jessie awoke, she seemed to feel intuitively that Frank was her best friend, for she kept beside him during our hasty dinner, and retained his hand during the walk.
