I never doubted that at all. But it's not worth the paper it's written on that's certain. It's that that busted me that, and some other things." "Well well!" said Thorpe, blankly. His astonishment was obviously genuine, and for a little it kept him silent, while he pondered the novel aspects of the situation thus disclosed. Then his eyes brightened, as a new path outlined itself.
One morning as Checkers was working about the dooryard, he espied his father-in-law coming up the road at a gait which presaged important news. The old man reached him, out of breath. Checkers waited expectantly. "Well, what do ye think has happened now?" panted Mr. Barlow. "The First National Bank of Little Rock has gone up busted; got yer money."
"If it all depended on my poor head I kinder guess I'd a'slipped up right then an' there an' give the hull scheme away which would a'been a danged shame, an' busted the game higher'n a kite." "We make a pretty good team, matey," said Jack.
The Indians had not seen him; he would reach the fort and report that he had accomplished a little, anyway. Just as he tightened rein a voice stopped him. It seemed to come from underfoot. "Tom! Say, you aren't going to leave me?" That was Joe Burgess, a comrade, trying to crawl to him. "No, I won't. Come on, Joe. Get aboard. Quick! We'll make in, double." "Can't do it, Tom. Leg's busted."
"I threw the stone that hit Buck, didn't I! I busted his head open, didn't I! Oh, of course, I'm to blame for it all ... put it on me." "Well, how did you get in it? how did you get mixed up with the school-teacher?" "I got Mrs. Caley to thank for this, and I'll thank her." He hotly recited the obvious aspect of his connection at the camp meeting with Meta Beggs.
'Well, no, says he, 'I ain't never killed nobody, but I've saw it did, and if I ever meet Bud Cottrell I shore am going to bust this seal. I ain't ever heard whether he busted it or not." "Funniest thing to me about this here park," commented Paw, "is that they call me a sagebrusher and the people at the hotels dudes.
As for his clothes just rags, that was all. He had one ankle resting on t'other knee; the boot on that foot was busted, and two of his toes stuck through, and he worked them now and then. His hat was laying on the floor an old black slouch with the top caved in, like a lid. I stood a-looking at him; he set there a-looking at me, with his chair tilted back a little. I set the candle down.
Towns sprang into being along the line of the serpent's coil. Canaan said all right, but wait till the spring rains come. The rains came, the trains went by over the slick tracks gracefully. Canaan said all right, but wait till something busts. Time passed, nothing busted. The County was careening westward. There was no stopping it. Canaan kept her head high, but her heart grew as cold as ice.
If he's got brains, he's got to think for the poor ducks that haven't 'em, and not give 'em a boot in the backsides because they happen to be stupid; and if he's got money, he's got to help those that are busted, and if he's got a house, he's got to think of those that ain't got anywhere to go.
