The entries were jotted down so hastily and often under such peculiar circumstances that in many cases they are written upside down, so that you have to keep turning the book about to follow it. Mr. Antone knows all about Samoan vegetation. Name of Pa's village is Atuona. Addresses of friends in San Francisco, London, Scotland, Nebraska, Philadelphia, France, Italy, New York, Hawaii.
"Yes; make it short now; all I want is facts." The man choked a bit, turned and twisted on the stool, but was helpless to escape. "Wal, my name is Hughes Jed Hughes; I uster hang out round San Antone, an' hev been mostly in the cow business. The last five years Le Fevre an' I hev been grazin' cattle in between yere an' Buffalo Creek." "Partners?" "Wal, by God!
"New York, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City, Denver, San Antone," murmured Dave, and there was unction in his tone as he recited these advantages of a loose trade "any place you like the looks of, or places you've read about that sound good just going along with your little kit of razors, and not having to small-town it except when you want a bit of quiet."
I don't believe you've even tried it yet. I went all the way to San Antone and picked it out for you myself. It took a third of the fall clip to buy it; but I don't mind that if it makes my good girl happier. Won't you play a little bit for dad, Marilla? "Doc Simpson beckoned Marilla to one side and recommended her to do what Uncle Cal wanted, so it would get him quieted.
Make him work hard, sleep hard, and eat hard. You boys know I done what I could for him, and he was welcome. Yesterday the best doctor in San Antone examined him, and says he's got the lungs of a burro and the constitution of a steer. You know what to do with him, Ross." Ross Hargis only smiled grimly.
And they all might have been seen wending their way away. "'Bud, says Luke to me, 'I want you to fix up a little and go up to San Antone with me. "'Let me get on my Mexican spurs, says I, 'and I'm your company. "One of the sisters or so seems to have stayed at the ranch with Mrs. Summers and the kid. We rides to Encinal and catches the International, and hits San Antone in the morning.
"'I'd have made a wonderful success in anything connected with music, says Uncle Cal. 'I got the finest instrument for the money in San Antone. Ain't that piano all right in every respect, Marilla? "'It's just perfect, dad, says she. 'It's got the finest tone I ever heard. But don't you think you could sleep a little while now, dad? "'No, I don't, says Uncle Cal. 'I want to hear that piano.
For, just as Kid Ricard was falling, while Jim Galloway's finger was crooked to the trigger, while Antone was whipping up his gun behind the bar, there had come a shot from the card-room door shattering the lamp. Neither Norton nor Galloway, Rickard nor Vidal Nuñez, nor Antone nor any of the other men in the room saw who had fired the shot.
King James was the biggest cattleman between the Alamo plaza in San Antone and Bill Hopper's saloon in Brownsville. Also he was the loudest and most offensive bully and braggart and bad man in southwest Texas. And he always made good whenever he bragged; and the more noise he made the more dangerous he was.
"You'll remember I said he was carrying enough of a load to make his aim bad." Norton asked half a dozen further questions and then said abruptly: "That's all. As you go out will you tell the boys to send Antone in?" Again a hint of color crept slowly, dully, into Galloway's cheeks. "You're going pretty far, Rod Norton," he said tonelessly.
