Six peons dog-trotted by from the municipal slaughter-house with a steer on their backs: four carried a quarter each; one the head and skin; and the last, heart, stomach, and intestines.

There's goin' to be big doin's with the Horseshoers." "Only I'm not," she contradicted. "Oh, yes you are," he asserted with absolute assurance.
