I didn't catch on for a minute, but Hammond did. Says he: "'Showing us w'ere this 'ere palatial yacht come from.

You ken get right out to the barn an' have your pick o' my plugs, an' anythin' you need else. Guess you best take the black mare. She'll carry you all day for a week, sure, an' then laff at you. Get right on, an' an' good luck!" There are actions performed in every man's life for which he can never account, even to himself. Such was the act Wild Bill performed at that moment.

If I couldn't laff at most of the folks that live in this town, I'd be tempted ter commit sooicide that's right! And you air one of the most amusin' of the lot, Massey. Them other committeemen run ye a clost second." "Oh! I can't stop here and fool with you all day, Walky Dexter," snapped the druggist, pretty well worked up by now.

"You peen goin' to ged ofer dot britty soon pime-by." "But I hain't got no voice, an' I can't sing a tune no more than a mule kin."

Say, Kate Crombie told me that Eve never spent any o' those dollars, an' it was her belief she ain't never touched 'em. She says it's 'cause of him.

Maybe he's there right now. If we searched with a hundred men we couldn't exhaust that darn gopher nest. If we blocked every outlet we know and don't know, he could still sit tight and laff at us. No. We need to start right in again. So long as he's got the stuff, and hangs to Mallard's, he's safe." "You might have those 'phone boxes torn down.

Beany came over for me and went up to Pewts. on the way Beany went up an rung his doorbell and we hid behind the fence and Mister Watson, Beany's father, came out holding a light and shading it with his hand. the wind blew the lite out and in going in again he hit his head an awful bump against the door. me and Beany nearly died laffing only we tride not to laff too loud. well we went up to Pewts and Pewt had been sent to bed for something and so we started back and met a man who said is this you Elbridge, it was pretty dark and Beany said yes and Mister Watson grabbed us both by the collar and said, so you are the boys who rung my doorbell and then he give Beany a rap on the side of the head and began to shake him round lively and while he was shaking Beany up i put for home. i hid behind the fence and i cood hear him say i will learn you to asosiate with that misable Shute boy and wast your time ringing doorbells, and Beany was saying, o father i will never do it again. i nearly died laffing to hear Beany a rattling round on the sidewalk. i hope Mister Watson wont tell father. i gess he wont for he gets over his mad pretty quick. every time i think of Beanys legs flying round in the air i giggle rite out and when i think of Mister Watson bumping his head i nearly die. sometimes i think it pays to be tuff.
