How came we-all up here on the road this-a-way?" "I can quiet him," said Johnnie aside to her new friend. "I always can when he gets wild this way." The unknown shook his head. "You'll never have to quiet him any more, unless he breaks his neck again," came the announcement.
Conniston said, "Go ahead, Pete," and made himself a cigarette. "It's this-a-way." The cowboy lighted a match and let it burn out without applying the flame to his brown paper. For a moment he hesitated, and then blurted out: "You've knowed some considerable females in your time, I take it. Huh, Con?" "Well?" Conniston repeated. "I gotta be hittin' the trail back to the Half Moon real soon.
Concerning Real Estate, Love, Friendship, and Other Good and Valuable Considerations "You see, it's just this-a-way," began Tom Osby, the morning after Curly's osteopathic horse saga; "I've got to go on up to Vegas after a load of stuff, and I'll be gone a couple of weeks. Now, you know, from what we heard down at Sky Top about this railroad, a heap of things can happen in two weeks.
He’s got us all buffaloed out this-a-way, most of us don’t care to meet him close up and we give him wide range when we cut his trail.” That was Big Pete’s greeting.

The feathers in their heads are from the wings and tails of owls. Ah! as I am but a miserable, half-sighted, trapper, it is a band of the accursed Siouxes! To cover, lads, to cover. A single cast of an eye this-a-way, would strip us of every rag of clothes, as surely as the lightning scorches the bush, and it might be that our very lives would be far from safe."
Hurry Harry spoke pretty plainly of the whole family, as we journeyed this-a-way, and he did hint something consarning Thomas Hutter's having been a free-liver on the water, in his younger days. By free-liver, I mean that he made free to live on other men's goods." "He told you he was a pirate there is no need of mincing matters between friends.
"Not exactly that at noon; though abeam, as it might be, mornings and evenings." "Still, the coldest of our weather is yet to come, or I have no exper'ence in such things. Why does not the heat come back with the sun or what seems to be the sun coming back? though, as you tell me, Captain Gar'ner, it's only the 'arth sheering this-a-way and that-a-way in her course."

Says he, one evenin', this-a-way to us fellers, says he, 'Why, a great many things goes wrong because the nervous system is interfered with, along of your osshus structure. You think your stomach is out of whack, says he. 'It ain't. All it needs is more nerve supply.
It should have been significant to any one who knew the mountain people, that information concerning Gray Stoddard within a week of his disappearance, was noticeably lacking. Nobody would admit that his had been a familiar figure on those roads. At the utmost they had "seed him a good deal a while ago, but he'd sorter quit riding up this-a-way of late."
They come this-a-way, as it might be, naturally. There are more or less whites passing between the forts and the settlements, and they are sure to be on their trails.
