I walked down street a ways and stopped. In about five or ten minutes here comes Boggs again, but not on his horse. He was a-reeling across the street towards me, bare-headed, with a friend on both sides of him a-holt of his arms and hurrying him along. He was quiet, and looked uneasy; and he warn't hanging back any, but was doing some of the hurrying himself. Somebody sings out: "Boggs!"
"You betcher, and it's the richest pay-dirt I ever met up with. No wonder Moran has been willin' to do murder to get a-holt of this land. You're a rich man, boy; a millionaire, I reckon." "You mean that we are rich, Bill." The younger man spoke slowly and emphatically. "Whatever comes out of here" he waved his hand toward the creek "is one-half yours. I decided on that long ago.
A man up and offered me ten cents to help him pull a skiff over the river and back to fetch a sheep, and so I went along; but when we was dragging him to the boat, and the man left me a-holt of the rope and went behind him to shove him along, he was too strong for me and jerked loose and run, and we after him.
I done everythin' to that tendon, except make a new one. In a month I has it in such shape he don't limp, 'n' I begins to stick mile gallops 'n' short breezers into him. He has to wear a stiff bandage on the dinky leg, 'n' I puts one on the left-fore, too it looks better. "It ain't so long till I has this bird cherry ripe. He'll take a-holt awful strong right at the end of a stiff mile.
"'Well, whatever she does, I says, 'will she get here this mawnin'? I got to get to the race track. "'I'll call up Orphy an' see, says the old gazink. 'Hello, Tessie, he says, after he grinds away at the telephone handle fur a while. 'Git a-holt of Orphy Shanner fer me out to th' park that's a good girl. In about ten minutes somebody begins to talk over the phone.
Joe's condition is suthin' like the snappin' turtle's when he cotched a-holt of Peleg Swift's red nose as he was stoopin' ter git a drink at the spring. He didn't durst ter let go while Peke was runnin' an' yellin' 'Murder! but he was mighty sorry ter git so fur from home. Haw! haw! haw!" "What is the matter with Joe Bodley now, Walky?" asked Nelson, who was present.

After we had everything fixed, I'd put on my Injun clothes and Looey his'n, and we'd drive through the main store street of the town at a purty good lick, me a-holt of the reins, and the doctor all togged out in his best clothes, and Looey doing a Injun dance in the midst of the wagon.
That turned him faint. But when they were carrying him off, he got a-holt of my hand and whispered, 'Come see me at the hospital. I was willing enough I went. And they took me to him private room. And a nice-looking nurse. And flowers. He has lots of friends in New York Hilliard, you bet you " It was irony again and Sheila stirred nervously. That changed his tone.
"'Cut out the stallin', he says. 'It don't go between friends. Would you like to git a-holt of a new roll? "'I don't mind tellin' you that sooner 'n have my clothes tore I lets somebody crowd a bundle of kale on to me, I says. "'That sounds better, he says. 'Come on we'll take a cab ride. "'Where we goin'? I asks him, as we gets into a cab. "'Goin' to look at a hoss, he says.
