I was on Paddy the other morning, in my old shooting-jacket and Stetson, going like the wind for the Dixon Ranch, after hearing they had a Barnado boy they wanted to unload on anybody who'd undertake to keep him under control. The trail was heavy from the night rain that had swept the prairie like a new broom, but the sun was shining again and the air was like champagne.
But, the saints be praised, the excellent sister who was ordered to attend her is in my pay and instead of conducting her to her relatives of San Barnado, who were to keep her locked up over night, has, if I mistake not, taken her to a good woman of my acquaintance an old servant, in fact who will guard her as jealously as the family plate till you and I come to her release."
He told us he had an uncle 'oo'd give us land to farm. 'E said he was born at the back o' Vancouver Island, and all the time the beggar was a balmy Barnado Orphan!" "But we believed him," said Pyecroft. "I did you did Paterson did an' 'oo was the Marine that married the cocoanut-woman afterwards him with the mouth?" "Oh, Jones, Spit-Kid Jones. I 'aven't thought of 'im in years," said Pritchard.
