"But the boys would fly right at it and stay with it if the round-up was near town, you bet," said he. He was walking alone. "How's Mrs. McLean to-day?" I inquired.

Therefore, it was the part of his comrades and himself to use the utmost caution as they passed up the river. They bugged the western shore, where they were shadowed by banks and bushes, and now they went slowly, Long Jim and Tom Ross drawing their oars so carefully through the water that there was never a plash to tell of their passing.
I carried crumbs to the warblers in the sweetbrier; was lifted for surreptitious peeps at the hummingbird nesting in the honeysuckle; sat within a few feet of the robin in the catalpa; bugged the currant bushes for the phoebe that had built for years under the roof of the corn bin; and fed young blackbirds in the hemlock with worms gathered from the cabbages.
He had a young monkey named Jack who had mated with a female named Jill; and in another cage another newly-wedded pair, Arabella and Archer. Each pair seemed absorbed in each other, and devoted and happy. They even bugged each other at mealtime and exchanged bits of food.

"I hoped you would understand," says he. "In the circumstances, it was all I could do, you see." "What I see plainer'n anything else," says I, "is that if this goes through your career is bugged to the limit.
Henry nudged me as our Kansas eyes bugged out at the Byzantine splendeur and whispered: "Bill, what this place needs is a boss buster movement. How the Kansas legislature would wallop this splendeur in the appropriation bill! How the Sixth District outfit would strip the blue plush off our upholstered friend by the elevator and send him shinning home in a barrel.
"Now be good," says I, "and you may be happy. Also get busy." You see, I figured that what she didn't know she couldn't worry about, nor discuss with Auntie. Besides, it was all too hazy in my head for me to sketch it out very clear to anyone. Honest, I don't see now how I kept from gettin' things bugged, for I sure was crashin' ahead reckless.
One man arrests the downward movement, and with no weapon but his word, and no support but his own dauntless courage, which was the child of his faith, works a revolution in Israel.
