"Annie is handsome as ever, but there is a new assayer coming to town next month and I understand he is on the dead square, and what we do we have got to do all-fired quick. How is this for an eye-opener?" He took from his pocket several lumps of shining ore. "Sylvanite," exclaimed Rayder. "What does it run?" "Eighty ounces to the ton.
Where are they, and how many of 'em do you want us to count?" asked Monty Scruggs, at which the other boys snickered. They were getting very tired of the drill, and in the humor to nag and balk the drillmaster. Si lost a trifle of his temper, and said: "You're too all-fired smart with your tongue, Scruggs. If you were only half as smart learnin' your business "
"I mean he has had things pretty much his own way the last six or eight years." "Meanin' he's been runnin' whiskey all that time?" asked Craig. Lapierre nodded. "He has run booze enough into the North to float a canoe from here to Port Chippewayan." It was Ripley's turn to laugh. "If you are so all-fired wise, why haven't you made a complaint?" he asked.
I'd a-got Jas myself ef he hadn't been so all-fired quick o' trigger." Up at the root of the pine-tree Isom stood motionless, with his long rifle in one hand and a little cloud of smoke breaking above his white face. When Rome looked up he started down without a word. Steve swung himself over the ledge. "I heerd the shootin'," said the boy, "up thar at the cave, 'n' I couldn't stay thar.
We've got to stand by and see her do it. I wisht it wasn't so. I loved her ma so much, and she looks so much like her ma why, I wisht why, I wisht Damn it, don't I wisht it wasn't such a dash-blamed, all-fired, hell-for-certain gamble for the kid!" It wasn't no time for me to say anything about any hired man now! By and by the old man quit looking into the fire and got up and went off to bed.
'Wall, I swow! was all Peterkin said, as he put an enormous quid of tobacco in his mouth, and walked away, thinking to himself, 'Twould take an all-fired while to scrape them tar and feathers off of me, I'm so big, and I b'lieve the feller meant it. Them high bucks wouldn't like no better fun than to make a spectacle of me; so I guess I'll dry up a spell.
If the Rube takes his wife on that trip it's goin' to be an all-fired hummer. Don't you forget that." "I'm not likely to. But, Spears, the point is this will the Rube win his games?"

That all-fired 'Hood. She said as they were riled that she'd stopped in the white man's lodge. Said they'd made med'cine an' found out where she'd gone. Say, that 'Hood' is the very devil, I'm thinkin'. She's scairt to death o' him." But though Ralph listened to his brother's words he seemed to pay little heed. The blow had fallen on him with stunning force.
