Has he any reputation as a gun thrower?" "Matthews? I never heard of it, if he had. But he brags a lot. He's been in several fracases here, with drunken miners an' Mexicans. He's killed a couple of men since I've been here." "Ah-huh, just what I thought," declared Pan, in cool contempt. "I'll bet a hundred he elected himself town marshal, as he calls it.
Grab a pan of grub heah.... An' say, cowboy, from now on you can call me Somers Frank Somers. I'm proud of the name, but I reckon it was ashamed of me." "Ah-huh! All right, Blink Somers," replied Pan cheerfully. "You'll always be Blink to me." They ate standing and sitting before the campfire, in the chill blackness just beginning to turn gray.
But they put us off.... Then your father tried several things that did not pan out. Now we're here and he has to work in the wagon shop to pay the rent." "Ah-huh!" replied Pan, relieving his oppressed breast with an effort. "And now about Lucy. How does it come she's living with you?" "She had no home, poor girl," replied his mother, hastily. "She came out here with her father and uncle.
But it has worked great an' I jest believe it's been tampered with... Do you know these McCormack harvesters?" "Yes. They're reliable," replied Dorn. "Ah-huh! Wal, get your coat off an' see what's been done to this one." Dorn took off his coat and was about to throw it down, when Lenore held out her hand for it. "Unhitch the horses," said Dorn. Anderson gave this order, which was complied with.
Then he suddenly burst out, "Wal, you long-legged strappin' son of a gun! If sight of you ain't good for sore eyes! ... Ah-huh! Look where he packs that gun!" With slow strange action he reached down to draw Pan's gun from its holster. It was long and heavy, blue, with a deadly look. The father's intent gaze moved from it up to the face of the son.
Casey removed his pipe to refill it. "Ah-huh!" he grunted. "Wire from Medicine Bow order to stop General Lodge's train three hundred Sioux in ambush near this station Lodge's train between here and Roaring City," breathlessly went on the operator. "An' the message come from Medicine Bow!" ejaculated Casey, while his men gaped and muttered. "Yes. It must have been sent here last night.
"How much does the woman owe?" he asked, quietly. "Ah-huh!" the exclamation was trenchant with meaning. "Twenty dollars, if it's anything to you." "I'll pay it. I think I heard the woman say she was ill." "She says she is." "May I be of any assistance?" "Ask her." Lane glanced into the little room, a counterpart of his. But it was so dark he could see nothing distinctly. "May I come in?
She was dazed by this final blow. Having endured so much, this last misfortune, apparently the ruin of her life, brought no added suffering, only a strange, numb feeling. "Ah-huh! Thought you'd give me the slip, eh?" croaked Girty, striding forward, and as he looked at Wingenund his little, yellow eyes flared like flint. "Does a wolf befriend Girty's captives? Chief you hev led me a hard chase."
"You're no fool, an' you're a loyal American. Your duty is to stay home an' raise wheat." "I've a duty to myself," returned Dorn, darkly. "Son, your fortune stares you right in the face here. Are you goin' to turn from it?" "Yes." "You want to get in that war? You've got to fight?" "Yes." "Ah-huh!" Anderson threw up his hands in surrender.
Did you get up?" he greeted her, cheerily. "I hardly ever did, it seems.... Dad, the day was something to face," she said. "Ah-huh! It's like getting up to work. Lenore, the biggest duty of life is to hide your troubles.... Dorn looks like a human bein' this mornin'. The kids have won him. I reckon he needs that sort of cheer. Let them have him.
