They've kept Bud away, and Miss Mary Well, she's all right, uh course, but Tex has got her buffaloed. She won't believe nothin' ag'in him. I told Bud I'd stay as long as he did, but A man's got to look after himself some. They ain't likely to miss twice runnin'." "You mean to say " Bemis stopped him with a cautious gesture.
He was General Counsel of the Corn Belt Railroad in those days, when her father was president of the road, and she knew that he was a man always to be considered. And when, as a woman grown, she learned the truth about Lige Bemis, it was hard to believe, for all she could find against him was his everlasting smile.
"He acts like he knew what he was about," returned Bemis briefly. "How yuh goin' to get me home?" "I've sent Butch an' Flint after the wagon," explained Lynch. "They'll hustle all they can." "Did you catch sight of the rustlers?" asked Stratton suddenly. The foreman flashed him a sudden not overfriendly glance.
I tell you, Mis' Bemis, there ain't a mite of comfort in riches to them that's got nobody but themselves to do for. Now, I've been wantin' a good black silk for a long spell, and I've been layin' by a little here and a little there, and 'lottin' on gettin' it before long, and I've enjoyed thinkin' about it jest as much as if I had it; and now that comfort is all took away.
He received a shock during the handing out of the premiums and was silent afterward. Bemis was a striking man, because the very regular features of his young face were set off by a mass of white hair. He was placid, without a disturbing intellect, and interested solely in the price and condition of fresh cocoanuts for shipment.

He's outa bed now moochin' around the room an' countin' the hours till he can back a horse." "Still got that notion the outfit isn't safe?" "I'll tell the world! He says life's too short to take any more chances of bein' bumped off.
"Miss Cricket couldn't find any sticking-plaster, so she brought this. Oh, she's her father's own child for the doctorin'." "I thought they might do," explained Cricket, rather shyly. "I knew I ought to have strips of plaster, of course, but I couldn't find any. I thought the cut ought to be drawn together as soon as possible." "You're a thoughtful child," said Mrs. Bemis, warmly.
For as Barclay rose in the world, he found the need of Bemis more and more pressing every year. In politics the favours a man does for others are his capital, and Barclay's deposit grew large. He was forever helping some one. His standing with the powers in the state was good.
Der ball was chust gittin' control uf me ven he tookt me oudt." Farnham Hall did not score in the first half of the ninth. Diamond was the first batter up for the Merries, and he laced out a clean single. "That's the stuff!" cried Frank. "Only three scores! We'll get 'em right here!" Browning lifted a fly to left field, and Bemis scooped it. Diamond reached second.
