All we wanted was them needles and a little elbow-grease and gumption. So we started in, and 'fore night, she still a-thrashin', I'd fixed up the sails, patched the eyelets with a pair o' boot-legs, and was off again." "What were you doing off Hatteras, Captain Bob?" I asked.
As he entered the sitting-room, the little girl eyed him tremblingly, for his spurs jingled loudly as he strode, and the leather fringe on his riding-breeches snapped against his high boot-legs. He was grieved to find the farm-house in such a state, and counseled the little girl's mother to delay the christening no longer, suggesting a private baptism, such as the big brothers had had.
He had two hundred dollars in his boot-legs. Had his rancheros suspected it? Would they murder him for the money? He hoped not; he just faintly hoped not; for he was becoming very sleepy; he was asleep. He was awakened by a noise, or perhaps it was a touch, he scarcely knew what.

Skinny glanced at Sabota. "Yes, he is ornery," he said. "He runs that joint and boot-legs on the side. He's got a reputation as a slugger and keeps the crowd around him buffaloed. They say he killed a feller beat him to death in a fight over at Sapulpa before he came to Eagle Butte. I don't like the filthy cuss. He's mean!" "He looks it!"
"Yes, and so does she. She stole boot-legs," shouted the boy; and raising his foot in front, he slid away. The old woman burst forth into injurious words, interrupted by a cough. He had evidently heard the old woman's insulting words, and he took her part.
