Well, he's pretty bad busted up, but I guess he's still good enough to hold this Perris they talk about. Where's Perris?" The same name was being shouted here and there in the crowd. Corson stood up and peered about him. "Who is Perris?" asked Marianne. "A gent that come out of the north, up Montana way, I hear. He's been betting on himself to win this bucking contest, covering everybody's money.
Lew Wee gathered that he was being directed to get off the car quickly. The other passengers had crowded back by the conductor and was telling him the same thing. One old gentleman with a cane, who mebbe couldn't walk good, had took up his cane and busted a window quick and had his head outside. Lew Wee thought he was an anarchist, busting up property that way.
Mile after mile they rode, the cowboy's lips now and then drawing into their peculiar smile as, out of the corner of his eye he watched the vain efforts of his companion to maintain a firm seat in the saddle. "He's game, though," he muttered, grudgingly. "He rides like a busted wind-mill an' it must be just tearin' hell out of him but he never squawks.
Zeb, utterly worn out, slept on, and the Captain, as usual, was the first to find his tongue. "Well, well," he shouted, rubbing his nose to a bright red to wake himself up, "here ye be! And mighty lucky, too, for I 'm hungry enough to eat a bear alive.

If I c'ud only kiss her han' befo' I left if I c'ud only see her face at the winder! "I must have sobbed out loud, for jus' then I heard a gentle, sympathetic whinny an' a cold, inquisitive little muzzle was thrust into my face, as I lay on my back with my heart nearly busted.
I had to skip around a bit, and jump up and crack my heels a few times I couldn't help it; but about the third crack I noticed a sound that I knowed mighty well, and held my breath and listened and waited; and sure enough, when the next flash busted out over the water, here they come! and just a-laying to their oars and making their skiff hum! It was the king and the duke.
It was a good trick. "'The gent that taught me near busted me in two with the trick of it, said Doone. 'S'pose I let you up. Is it to be a handshaking or fighting?

"Hell has busted loose. "I played Perris with a long rope. I gave him a week because Miss Jordan asked me to. But at the end of the week he still wasn't ready to go. Seems that he's crazy to get Alcatraz. Talks about the horse like a drunk talking about booze. Plumb disgusting. But when I told him to go to-night, he up and said they wasn't enough men in the Valley to throw him off the ranch.
That don't feel like teeth, though. Maybe he busted a shaft, an' it pricked him." "An' I come to you from Kansas, wavin' the tail o' friendship to all an' sundry, an' in the name of the uncounted millions o' pure-minded, high-toned horses now strugglin' towards the light o' freedom, I say to you, Rub noses with us in our sacred an' holy cause.

The boy's face had been hardening with contempt as the description advanced, but at the last words a glow came to his eyes, and he demanded almost breathlessly: "Paints pictchers?
