"I stood by the rail, of course, and had told off the men I could trust, puttin' 'em in two lines to let 'em through one at a time, women first, then the old men, and so on same old story; you've seen it, no doubt and had got four boats overboard and filled the sea was pretty calm and three of 'em away and out of range of fallin' pieces if she did take a notion to let go suddenly, when the dog sprang out of the door at the top of the stairs leading down to the main deck, barkin' like mad, runnin' up to the captain, who stood just behind me, pullin' at his trousers, and runnin' back again.
You was standin" at the office window lookin' out in the yards at Jerry Sims unloadin' a shipment of oats; and little Old Cocker was standin' on top of one of the sacks barkin' his head off. "Yeh; I met Clara Sims on the street yesterday, back here for a visit, and she says to me, she says: 'Hanna Burkhardt, you mean to tell me you never done nothing with your voice! You oughta be ashamed.
Now I was thinkin' you know, I don't suppose we've hardly mentioned the girl's name at table since Jim went, but it seems to me maybe if " Sheridan flung out his arms, uttering a sound half-groan, half-yawn. "You're barkin' up the wrong tree! Go on back to bed, mamma!" "Why am I?" she demanded, crossly. "Why am I barkin' up the wrong tree?" "Because you are. There's nothin' in it."
Fwhy shud I kape a dog an' du me own barkin'? An' thin he'll think betther av ut an' chunt 'Poppycock, all poppycock! . . . As you were, Sarjint' an' thin he'll call in Kilbride. Eh! fwhat yez laughin' at, yeh fules?" he queried irritably.
"They do say 'at he's in a varra parlish condition; an' they tell me there's to be no barkin' nor noise whativer." "Well, upon my word!" Melrose was by this time pale with rage. "A young man sick in my drawing-room! and a young woman giving orders in my house! you're a precious lot you are!" He strode on toward the young woman, who, as he now saw, was in the dress of a nurse.
Most mountaineers in California call him the Pine Squirrel; and when I asked an old trapper whether he knew our little forester, he replied with brightening countenance: "Oh, yes, of course I know him; everybody knows him. When I'm huntin' in the woods, I often find out where the deer are by his barkin' at 'em. I call 'em Lightnin' Squirrels, because they're so mighty quick and peert."
I hear the wind blowin' too, but it don't bring me no sound 'cept that uv dogs barkin', low-down curs that would run away from a chipmunk with their tails atween their legs. I'm gittin' mighty tired now uv waitin' fur them that called theirselves warriors, but are nothin' but old squaws in war paint.
"Ay, man, and it would be all right if the bit dog would just tak' to me." This pleasantry annoyed a good man who had small sense of humor, and he remarked testily "The barkin' disturbs my customers so they canna read." The place was a resort for student laddies who had to be saving of candles. "That's no' right," the landlord admitted, sympathetically.

I've heard the steps and voices lots of times; they don't pheaze me any. I'd just as lief hear so many dogs barkin'.

"Why, we'd have taken the ball at the hop," said Barny, laughing, "accordin' to the ould sayin'." Another shot was ineffectually fired. Again the report of the gun was followed by no damage. "Augh! never heed them!" said Barny, contemptuously. "'It's a barkin' dog that never bites, as the owld sayin' says." And the hooker was soon out of reach of further annoyance.
