"Did he tell this to any one except you and your father?" "He didn't tell no one but me, fer as I know. He didn't tell Pap." "When did he tell you?"

"Why did he tell you?" The girl raised her eyes.
"It isn't a wolf, Dad," said Kate, "it's a dog. Dan says so himself." "Sure he says so," answered her father, "but there was a lone wolf prowlin' round these parts for a considerable time an' raisin' Cain with the calves an' the colts. An' Black Bart comes pretty close to a description of the lone wolf. Maybe you remember Dan found his 'dog' lyin' in a gully with a bullet through his shoulder.
"Maybe Rance Belmont has dropped in again to spend the evenin' he usually does when you're away!" "You lie!" cried Fred, angrily. "We ain't lyin'," declared Randolph. "Everybody knows it only you." The words were no sooner said than Fred fell upon him like a madman. Randolph roared lustily for help, and Reginald valiantly strove to save him from Fred's fury.
"Yes," said Nash, "that's a queer stunt, because when you're lyin' like that with your head right over the gun and the blankets in between, it'd take you a couple of seconds to get it out." "Not when you're used to it. You'd be surprised to see how quickly a man can get the gun out from under." "That so?"

Joe Rix was lyin' on the floor. When he got to the shack Donnegan was waitin' for him. They went for their guns and Donnegan beat him to it. The hound didn't shoot to kill. He plugged him through both shoulders, and left him lyin' helpless. But I got a couple of bandages on him and saved him. "Then we cut back for home and crossed the marsh. And there we found the Pedlar. "Too late to help him.
"Sheer off there!" he orders, "or I'll turn the fire hose on yon." Well, the excursion captain stayed long enough to pass the time of day, but when he saw the sailors unreelin' the hose he got a move on; and in half an hour we was lyin' quiet again in the moonlight. Must have been well on towards midnight, and I was just ready to turn in when Mr.
As a matter of policy, if nothing else, why should the Tammany leaders go into such dirty business, when there is so much honest graft lyin' around when they are in power? Did you ever consider that? Now, in conclusion, I want to say that I don't own a dishonest dollar. If my worst enemy was given the job of writin' my epitaph when I'm gone, he couldn't do more than write: "George W. Plunkitt.
