That's the best way." "Why Koppy?" Conrad's eyes fell away sullenly. "He had the impertinence to imagine " He stopped. "I could shoot him like a mad dog," he exploded. Torrance chuckled. "That's the spirit, lad. I was going to say that there's only one way to handle the bohunk: beat him down. . . . D'ye realise, Adrian, you haven't killed a single one yet?
There was little to connect Torrance's inexplicable Indian friend with the Indian bohunk who had dived that first day over the cliff to almost certain death, but Mahon had been living among inferences and deductions and a certain question was arising in his mind. Still it pointed nowhere.
The orchestra Chico Morani, a mere Dago bohunk himself, had organised among the men, burst afresh. And every other sound ceased. Even the gambling groups out before the camp paused to listen. "Morani's started on the second number, Tressa. Thank Heaven he has one redeeming feature, if he is a Wop." "This isn't your loving night, daddy. It must be my cooking "
He ran up the slope to the grade and danced in the open door of the boss's shack; and, grinning at the convincing devil of it, they set about their task. Armed with fuse and dynamite they crept along underneath the bank toward the trestle. Werner, as an excuse to linger, carried the fuse; he almost envied the bohunk in the rear with the dynamite.
He's got all the pizen of Russia in him, flavoured with the rankest sauces of Europe." The Indian waited. "Shouldn't wonder," ventured the contractor, "if he's got something in his system." "If you'll let him get in a word edgeways," laughed Tressa. "That's the way all yours get in," grumbled her father. "Bohunk have big plans," grunted the Indian.
And none of us knows what an American is. I'll admit it was your type founded the government. But you are goners. There is no American type any more. And by and by we'll modify your old Anglo-Saxon institutions so that G. Washington will simply revolve in his grave. We'll add Greek ideas and Yiddish and Wop and Bohunk and Armenian and Nigger and Chinese and Magyar. Gee!
The "dago" or the "bohunk" would acquire a new dignity and a more enviable status than he now occupies. The selective process thus involved would much improve the quality of the immigrant admitted, and would incidentally render assimilation of the foreigner all the easier. The precise details of selection, and the machinery, are mere matters of detail.
It isn't that we have much to do too little, indeed; I'd grow rusty and evil-tempered with another season of this but I confess to a great mental blank in considering the bohunk . . . and I've no ambition to understand him better.
The shack stood fully exposed in the open, while the attackers slunk in the protection of the trees. As the Indian ran for his old place beside the grade at the end of the trestle bullets whistled about him. Peering over the edge, he saw a bohunk kneeling below, taking careful aim through the sleepers at the outstretched form of the contractor.
Ed didn't have any "folks" of his own, but he had expected letters all the same. Willy was sure his mother must have written. When the last ragged envelope was given out and he turned away empty-handed, he murmured, "She's Bohunk, and she don't write so good. I guess the address wasn't plain, and some fellow in another comp'ny has got my letter."
