"I'm hit!" groaned Longworth, as he sank down into the boat. The other man in the boat with Longworth took the gun, loaded it, and fired. At that moment Dan had stooped down to pick up his shot-pouch, and Quin being the more prominent party in the bateau, the other man fired at him. "De Lo'd sabe me!" groaned Quin, as he placed both hands on his chest.

Am I the fire?" he continued, submitting to the two sounding kisses the young girl placed upon either cheek, but still keeping his mischievous glance upon the muleteer. "Quien sabe?" repeated Antonio, gruffly, as the young girl blushed under his significant eyes. "It is no affair of mine," he added to himself, as he led Pinto away.

Alan Howard stirred his coffee meditatively, and after so leisurely a fashion that Longstreet began to fidget. The reply, when finally it came, was sufficiently non-committal. 'I said "Quién sabe?" to the question just now, he said, a twinkle in the regard bestowed upon the scientist. 'They are two pretty good little old words and fit in first-rate lots of times.

The drive was to begin on the most western division of the Osterman ranch, whence it would proceed towards the southeast, crossing into the northern part of Quien Sabe on which Annixter had sown no wheat and ending in the hills at the headwaters of Broderson Creek, where a barbecue was to be held.

"Here, hombre," called one of the men, in what he was pleased to consider Spanish, "we don't want to go home yet. We want to go to the outposts way out, sabe?" Yes, he "sabed," grinning broadly the while, but this, señor, was the outpost. We were dumbfounded, and stared stupidly at the white tent among the trees.

The offices of the ranches were thus connected by wire with San Francisco, and through that city with Minneapolis, Duluth, Chicago, New York, and at last, and most important of all, with Liverpool. Fluctuations in the price of the world's crop during and after the harvest thrilled straight to the office of Los Muertos, to that of the Quien Sabe, to Osterman's, and to Broderson's.

Take your gun and start off across the flat, down the way Cliff will come. Act like you didn't want to be seen. There's somebody across on the hill, up here, and I want to see if he'll follow you. You get me?" "Si, yes. I'm go." "After awhile you can come back. If you see Cliff, tell him he's after ducks. Sabe?" "Yo se. I'm onderstan'." "All right.

Miss Georgie kept herself rigidly to the main subject. "No, there isn't. Not," he added dryly, "unless it has grown gold in the last few years. There are colors, of course. All this country practically can show colors, but pay dirt? No!" "Look out," she advised him slowly, "that pay dirt doesn't grow over night! Sabe?" Good Indian's eyes spoke admiration of her shrewdness.

The two squaws gazed steadily at the ground, and she grunted and ignored them afterward, content that they bore witness to her truth in that one particular. "Squaw-talk-far-off sabe Good Injun killum Man-that-coughs, mebbyso," she hazarded, watching Good Indian's face cunningly to see if the guess struck close to the truth.

An' one not so good as Sol. I was only tryin' your nerve, Dick, askin' you without tellin' my plan. Sol won't get a scratch, you can gamble on that! I'll ride him down into the valley an' pull the greasers out in the open. They've got short-ranged carbines. They can't keep out of range of the .405, an' I'll be takin' the dust of their lead.
