Three stout negro men, divested of all clothing excepting a pair of coarse gray trowsers and a red shirt, it was a raw, cold, wintry day, and with cotton bandannas bound about their heads, were 'tending the still. The foreman stood on a raised platform level with its top, but as we approached very quietly seated himself on a turpentine barrel which a moment before he had rolled over the mouth of the boiler.
That counter-procession was a sight to see, too; the feature of elegance was conspicuous by its absence, but there was more colour in it. Harridans of seventy crawled after hussies of seventeen; bare arms and bandannas were more noticeable than black veils and fans; the improbæ Gaditanæ, known of old to certain lively satirists, Martial and Juvenal by name, turned out in force.
An old felt hat. A dirty stick of candy. Five small silver coins. An harmonica. An odd sort of flute. The bonnet of an Italian baby. Four soiled red bandannas. A black wallet containing about a dollar in silver. Two tin cups. Two pictures of peasants. Two plugs of tobacco. These are but samples. All told, there were at; least ninety articles.
The Malay trader takes his prahus incredibly far up the rivers. No place is so remote that beads, mirrors, cotton cloth, bright bandannas, sarongs for women, "made in Germany," etc., do not reach the aborigines, often giving them a Malay exterior, however primitive they may be in reality. The trader often remains away a year, marries a woman whom he brings back, and the children become Malays.
"I shouldn't wonder if we should find the real old-fashioned, movie kind of cowboys there sombreros, fur leggings, bandannas, and all." "But where," interrupted Mollie, who had been waiting with more or less patience for Betty to come to the point, "do we come in, in all this? I fail to see " "Oh hush," cried Betty, her eyes dancing. "You interrupt entirely too much.
One comprehensive glance the pseudo-American and he certainly looked the part shot at his picturesque, if rough-looking followers, not a few of whom showed red bandannas under their sombreros or around their necks and then with a satisfied expression on his face for he had a leader's pride in his men he gave the signal and led the way along and down the steep trail from the tableland.
Before he knew what had happened men were in the cabin. Some one struck a match. Young Pete cowered in a corner, all the fight oozing out of him as the lamp was lighted and he saw several men masked with bandannas. "The old man's done for," said one of them, stooping to look at Annersley. Another picked up the two empty shells from Annersley's rifle. "Where's the kid?" asked another.
And she sure was tolerable pleased to see him." A tremendous oath burst from Jordan. "You mean she's sweet on this this Perris?" But he added: "Why should that rile me? Maybe he's all right." "He's one of them flashy dressers," said Lew Hervey. "Silk shirts and swell bandannas and he wears shopmade boots and keep 'em all shined up. Besides, it's dead easy for him to talk to a girl.
Drawn up in the wide hall, under the direct command of old Alec, the head butler, were the house servants; mulatto maids in caps, snuff-colored second butlers in livery, jet-black mammies in new bandannas and white aprons all in a flutter of excitement, and each one determined to get the first glimpse of Marse Harry's young lady, no matter at what risk.
Tend to his morals, Philury, men are prone to backslide; start him off reg'lar to meetin', keep clean bandannas in his pocket, let him wear his gingham neckties, he'll cry a good deal and it haint no use to spile his silk ones. Oh, Philury! you won't lose nothin' if you are good to that dear man. Put salt enough on the pork when you kill, and don't let Josiah eat too much sassage.
