This bein' troo, an' as I'm 'lected for war anyhow, I'm goin' to caper out right yere, an' pull on the baile myse'f. This'll stop the chase, an' between us, pard, it's about the last chance in the box this pore female an' her offsprings has. An' I plays it for 'em, win or lose. "'Them's my motives; says Texas, tryin' to pull himse'f together.
"I'm pard to none of ye." They made him no answer, and he turned away in contempt. "Mr. Tomm," he called, "want these Ethiopians in your watch?" "No, sir," said the second mate; "I don't want 'em. They're no more use 'an a spare pump." "I'll make 'em useful 'fore I'm done with 'em. Go forrard, you three. Get the bile out o' yer gizzards 'fore mornin', 'f ye value yer good looks."
It's jest gettin' daylight, ah' I don't calc'late to slouch around hyar when the sun's shinin'. Don't go fur to forget my advice. I don't charge nothin' fur it, but it's good, pard real good, for all that. So long." He swung his horse round, and before Horrocks had time to collect himself, much less to speak, he was almost out of sight.
Do you think Roy Beeman would lie?" "But, John you fellows can't see my case. Nell Rayner wants me needs me!... It can't be true!" "Wal, my love-sick pard it jest IS true!" exclaimed John, feelingly. "Thet's the hell of life never knowin'. But here it's joy for you. You can believe Roy Beeman about women as quick as you'd trust him to track your lost hoss. Roy's married three girls.
Larry reached a long hand to Neale's shoulder. He owed his life to his friend. But he did not speak of that. Instead he glanced wisely at Neale and laughed. "Kinda weak in the middle, eh?" he said. "I felt thet way once.... Pard, if you ever get r'iled you'll be shore bad." For Neale shooting at an Indian was strikingly different from boyish dreams of doing it.
Pan removed his ragged chaps, more however to be freer of movement than because they were disreputable. "Now, Blink, we'll know pronto if the town is friendly to us," he said seriously. "Huh! I ain't carin' a whoop, but I'll gamble we could own the town. This fake minin', ranchin', hoss-dealin' Hardman was a hunk of bad cheese. Pard, are you goin' to deny you killed him?
Many there are, no doubt, who covet as little as I do the part of 'Lover, 'with a woful ballad, made to his mistress's eyebrow; but then they covet some other part in the drama, such as that of Soldier 'bearded as a pard, or that of Justice 'in fair round belly with fat capon lined. But me no ambition fires: I have no longing either to rise or to shine.
Then Lite let his rope slip from the saddle-horn and spurred his horse to one side, out of the danger zone of the other, while he felt frantically in his pockets for his knife. "Don't you cut my rope," Jean warned, when she saw him come plunging toward her, knife in hand. "This is fine training for Pard!"
When he came to the Bear tree where Gringo had carved his initials, the marks were clearly made by the Bear's teeth, and one of the upper tusks was broken off, so the evidence of identity was complete. "It's the same old B'ar," said Lan to his pard. They failed to get sight of him in all this time, so the partners set to work at a series of Bear-traps.
"Hello, you two big rummies," he said in his most offensive tones. "What are you doing here?" The two men were in a momentarily genial mood, however, and missed the insult. "Why, hello pard, ol' man," responded one of them cordially. "Come in an' make 'self t' home. Wanta buy a telegraph office? Cheap?" "Cheap! You are the cheapest article I see here," replied West, yet more insultingly.
