There the cook readily furnished me with a sharp knife and some tough rind pieces of pork and bacon liberally furnished on one side with fat. "Cut 'em in long baits, sir," he said, "and the fish are sure to come at them." "But they will taste too salt," I said. He laughed. "How can a fish know whether the bait is salt when it takes it in salt water?"
From that day Baree no longer touched his baits, but ate only the rabbits he killed in the traps. It was in January that McTaggart caught his first glimpse of Baree. He had placed his rifle against a tree, and was a dozen feet away from it at the time. It was as if Baree knew, and had come to taunt him.
It was abundantly clear that, in spite of all he had said to journalists, the old man heartily approved of the manner of the death of the last of the Obrenovitches, and had been "behind the scenes" of it. I had many subsequent interviews with Nikita, but though I strewed many baits, never again caught him out so completely.
"You have not forgotten your Lord, Daisy?" she said at length, when she saw me quiet. I looked at her and smiled my answer, though it must have been a sober smile. "I see," she said; "you have not. But how was it, so far away, my bairn? Weren't you tempted?" "No, dear Miss Cardigan. What could tempt me?" "The world, child. Its baits of pleasure and pride and power.
The fact was that they were determined to get home in good time, for fear, I suppose, of being shut out of the cattle shed, and though, just as they neared the shed, the remainder of the herd, which had been out grazing in the neighbourhood, appeared within twenty yards, the liberated baits got first into the shed. And now for my story showing how easily the suspicions of the tiger are excited.
He had advertised in 1756 a new edition of Shakspeare which was to appear by Christmas, 1757: but he dawdled over it so unconscionably that it did not appear for nine years; and then only in consequence of taunts from Churchill, who accused him with too much plausibility of cheating his subscribers. He for subscribers baits his hook; And takes your cash: but where's the book?
"She's dyin'!" cried the woman from Kansas. "Poison! Oh, Willyam, what shall we do?" But the postmaster was unable to offer any aid or counsel. "I just left it there in the window," explained Curly, excitedly; "I was goin' to put out some baits around a water hole, about to-morrow." "Oh, it's awful!" sobbed the woman from Kansas. "What shall we do? What shall we do?"
Just then Ebo hooked and brought in a fine fish that was all blue, but even this one would not do, for he killed it and tossed it overboard, chattering at it the while as if he were abusing it for being so bad. We saw scores of fish dart at it as it was thrown in, and now they bit so freely at the artificial baits that there was no occasion to change.
I'll take these basins in and refill them, make new ones, and to-night we'll put out fifty baits." The cattle were pointed up the new trail to the southern divide. Joel took the herd, and Dell searched the creek for other shallows tributary to the corral. Three more were found within easy distance, when the troughs were gathered with fork and sled, and taken home to be refilled.
By what great high-roads and queer by-ways of history had they travelled hither, these wandering Jews, "sated with contempt," these shrewd eager fanatics, these sensual ascetics, these human paradoxes, adaptive to every environment, energizing in every field of activity, omnipresent like sonic great natural force, indestructible and almost inconvertible, surviving with the incurable optimism that overlay all their poetic sadness Babylon and Carthage, Greece and Rome; involuntarily financing the Crusades, outliving the Inquisition, illusive of all baits, unshaken by all persecutions at once the greatest and meanest of races?
