'Should we have made it four-and-twenty if you had been in Noo Yawk City at the time of that banquet. 'I beg your pardon, sir, Paul answered stiffly. 'I don't care to continue this conversation, and I will take the liberty to end it. 'I say, said the Colonel, 'wait there. I never began a quarrel in my life, Mr.

"Yawk, yawk wok, wok, wok, wok, wok," rang out close behind us, and we both fired simultaneously at a faint gleam of what seemed to be yellow light as it flitted through the glade, running forward to get beyond the smoke in the hope that we might have hit it.

"Been promoted to be messenger, ay?" put in Mr. Hainer, chuckling. "When I came downstairs," continued the other with only a venomous glance toward the seat of the scorner, "I thought to myself what's the matter with taking a look at the swells feeding in the big restaurant. You may not know it, people, but Sherry's is the ree-churchiest place in Nuh Yawk to eat dinner. It's got 'em all beat.

"One slaughter in the pan, and let the blood drip!" "I should like a glass of water, please," said I. The colonel threw me a look of pity. "One Missouri and ice for the professor!" he said. "That fello's a right live man," commented the Virginian. But he seemed thoughtful. Presently he inquired, "Yu' say he was a foreigner, an' learned fancy cookin' to New Yawk?"

"They 'll git out o' that, all right, if they live in N' Yawk," said Mr. Thomas, as he poured out a glass and handed it to Joe. "You neither?"

Some ac's is booked out through the circuit from N' Yawk; others is booked up by some li'l fly-by-night agent, gettin' a date here an' a date there, terrible jumps between stands, see? and nev' knowin' one week where you're goin' the nex', or whether at all. Well, Florette was gettin' her bookin' that way. An' on that you gotta make good with each house you play, get me?
