Sheepmen sometimes use it to take their wagons up above; sometimes cattle outfits too while on round-ups." "Could an auto go ahead on it?" "Yes, I guess so. By hard driving." "Then he's up there." Weir ran back to his car, jumped in. "Let me go with you," Johnson shouted after him. "No, I can handle the fellow," the engineer answered. And again his machine started on.
"Morry, you mustn't tell tales on me," she whispered; and added pettishly: "Why ever did you just come to-night?" He tried to see her face. "What is it all about, Ephie?" he asked. "Then it WAS you, I saw, in the NONNE by the weir?" "Me? In the NONNE!" She was genuinely surprised. "You saw me?" He nodded.
And then it goes on and on, and down through marshes and sands, until at last it falls into the sea, where the ships are that bring parrots and tobacco from the Indies. Ay, it has a long trot before it as it goes singing over our weir, bless its heart! 'And what is the sea? asked Will. 'The sea! cried the miller. 'Lord help us all, it is the greatest thing God made!

There he waited, half crouching, for a further attack. But none came. Men began to run towards the place.
The day was advancing; a breeze was blowing; little waves were stirred up on the water, and rippled around the alligator. The music began again. Iday was playing the harp, while the young men were playing the accordeons and guitars with more or less skill. But the one who played best was Albino.
