The chink he gives up, and so does Len; and I'm too crazy to make 'em keep on fightin'. I dragged out two days later, way north o' the buttes plumb bughouse, my tongue all black and stiff as rubber. I've never been the same man since, I guess. I dream about them days and nights. "The folks that found me they go huntin' for Len and the chink and Baby Jean t'other side o' the buttes.
He was entranced by illumination, and did not hear the "Bughouse," whispered by Jim, nor see the anxiety on his sister's face, nor notice the rotary motion of Bernard Higginbotham's finger, whereby he imparted the suggestion of wheels revolving in his brother-in-law's head. What, in a way, most profoundly impressed Martin, was the correlation of knowledge of all knowledge.
Jim shook his head. "Only for to-night," he replied. "My sister and I are beating it South." "Well, I'll give you five dollars " "No, you won't," Jim smiled. "I'll work for you to-night for just twenty-five cents." "Say, you ain't bughouse, are you?" The boss stared again. "The fourth part of a dollar, two bits!" Jim replied doggedly.
And when he got 'em right, why Say, I'd have given a thousand dollars to have heard him fire his dope at that lousy gang. It must have been pretty. But they got him. And I guess that was the craziest thing they did. The fool man who could shoot up Father Adam in face of the forest-boys could only be fit for the bughouse." He sighed.
In passing I shall merely state that no one of those forty lifers was ever the same again. Luigi Polazzo never recovered his reason. Long Bill Hodge slowly lost his sanity, so that a year later, he, too, went to live in Bughouse Alley. Oh, and others followed Hodge and Polazzo; and others, whose physical stamina had been impaired, fell victims to prison-tuberculosis.
"Still, from my point of view, I wouldn't swap with you." "Just as bughouse on West Point and the Army as ever, are you?" quizzed Hazelton. "Just as much, and always will be," Dick nodded, beaming. "I can't share your enthusiasm," laughed Hazelton. "We've seen the Army in the West, and they're a lazy, little-account lot." Instead of getting angry, however, Dick and Greg laughed outright.
"I've been treated like a dip by Wynn and Katz," said he, "and I'm going to be square with you, Clancy, just to get even with them. When we lifted the fifteen thousand, at the time you were shot, we laid a bee line for Los Angeles. We've been there ever since, up to last Sunday morning. Gerald was bughouse on a gambling proposition, across the Mexican line.
"But you don't mean to say this is your first venture at turkey raising?" he demands. "Ab-so-lutely," says I. "Strordinary!" says Basil. At the end of the turkey run though I finds Joe starin' through the wire with a panicky look on his face. "Well, Joe," says I, "anything wrong with the flock?" "I dunno," says he. "Maybe da go bughouse, maybe da got jag on. See!"
And then to his surprise, he found himself being pushed unceremoniously from the porch and pulled excitedly behind the trellis. "What's the matter with you!" he demanded angrily. "Are you crazy!" "T'ank de Lord youse have showed up!" gasped the Flopper. "Say, honest, I can't do nothin' wid him he's got me near bughouse." "Who?" Madison scowled irritably. "De Patriarch, of course.
"If it were just common sickness, but but he's lost some of his buttons bughouse, crazy you know, " his giggle turned into a sob again, and Perkins, bearing up under his trouble, took the thread of the story. "You see, Doctor, we are musicians from Stanford, travelling through here; something has happened to one of our party; I don't know what's the matter: some hallucination."
