"Watkins is in the hospital, half dead from brain fever, his mother is a feeble old woman without a penny, and as for that young scamp who stole your money, he's among the missing he's vamoosed entirely!" "Well, why don't you find him?" asked Mr. Forbes, a little less pleasantly. "That's what I told you to do! Didn't you understand my orders?"
"The ponies vamoosed this afternoon they nearly always do the days I turn Mr. H. Hawkins with them, that's what I call the pinto. He's an awful scamp; but the best pony on the place." "Then I reckon they'll bring 'em around the twist an' down this canon. Now you get down here an' sneak into the house while I stake out Starlight in the big cathedral see how well I remember everything."
There's some news cum along with 'em that ain't likely to prove ez nourishin'. Tummas sez the Provident Savings Company hez busted an' the president's vamoosed." "Dear me! I wish Thomas would not use such very forceful language," said Miss Diana. "Do you think he finds it necessary? Being a butcher, you know? I hardly understand the words. Do you think you would find them defined in Webster?"
"Oh, never mind that," said the girl, impatiently, shaking back her hair. So deprecating and timid were the tones, that almost without an effort of the imagination she could picture the little man's blushes and his half-sidling method of delivery. At this supreme moment his littleness and lack of self-assertion jarred on her mood. "What're you doin' there? Thought you'd vamoosed."
I got out of there in record time, let me tell you. I don't mind shooting it out with a human being, but I don't take no chances with a ghost. I vamoosed." "And the old man?" she inquired. "He's there yet. One thing certain, I'll never go into that canyon late at night again." Bet's ruse had worked better than she had hoped.
"I'm afraid so," grumbled Bobolink, for all the world as though his whole reputation for veracity depended on his showing the other that he had not been imagining things when he gave his alarm. "What did you see?" continued Paul. "Two yellow eyes, and say, weren't they just awful, though? But seems like the varmint has side-stepped, and vamoosed. Just my luck, hang it!
He vamoosed some sudden, an' I hope he an' his friends shook the dust of Casita. That's a rotten town Jim." Gale jumped up in joy. What luck! The speakers were none other than the two cowboys whom he had accosted in the Mexican hotel. "Hold on, fellows," he called out, and strode into the road. The horses snorted and stamped. Then followed swift rustling sounds a clinking of spurs, then silence.
"You shore picked out a Jim Dandy guide, Mr. Tenderfoot. According to this, it looks mighty like he's gone and turned hawss thief. Mr. Knowles says your Rocket hawss has vamoosed. If he's moving to Utah under your ex-guide, it'll take some lively posse to head him. What d'you say, Mr. Blake?"
From the conductor, however, who had thought Mr. Wilson's conduct rather peculiar, he learned the facts in the case. "Yes, sir," said that individual in conclusion, swinging himself on to the departing train, "if that's the man you're looking for, he's vamoosed sure, and judging by the way he got aboard that train, he'll be traveling for some time to come."
"You ain't meanin' it's old crazy Frenchy you're after?" he asked. "I don't wonder he's lost if it's him." "That's the man," answered Dr. Hume, "but I don't understand what you mean." "I guess he's got wind he's suspected of settin' Razor Back Mountain on fire and he's vamoosed. He ought to be shut up anyhow. He's a dangerous character runnin' around the country."
