"I resign," declared old Dan, nipping his little bunghole of a mouth under the hook of his nose. "Those animals are getting onto my nerves. The whole pack and caboodle are chasing me in a nightmare every time I go to sleep. Their condemned glass eyes are boring me worse than gimlets. I'm going on with that book of mine. I've got a new idea for it.
Why, I wouldn't give a snap of my fingers fer the whole kit and caboodle of ye, you low-down, sneakin' parcel o' thieves. Ye say it wus yer votes whut made me marshal o' this camp. Well, I reckon they did, an' I reckon likewise I know 'bout whut my duty under the law is, an' I'm a-goin' to do it. If you fellers thought ye 'lected a chump, this is the time you git left.
Far's I can make out there's only one New Yorker, really, in the whole caboodle of 'em." "Which one?" "That kind of plain little one over there sensible looking, with the blue suit. I was talking to her. She was born right here in New York, but she doesn't live here that is, not in the city. Lives in some place in the country, in a house." A sort of look came into Mrs. Brewster's eyes.
As a finale he stood erect while the broncho dashed headlong for the bank. At the very brink it dropped back with braced legs, and the Indian, leaping gracefully backward, turned a somersault and landed on his feet. "By hickory!" Torrance whistled through his teeth. "I know a showman would swop his whole caboodle for half an hour of that.
When the next cloud of dust rolled out of the window an irate voice came with it: "I'm the biggest slouch on the prairie, eh; I'll pretty well show you nobody takes liberties with me. I'm almighty sick of this fooling already; there goes your confounded bucket, and the rest of the blamed caboodle after it."
"If yo'uns have got me, why don't y' take me. I kin lick the hull caboodle o' y' sneakin' mulatters. Come on, why don't y'?" "Give him a wad, Si," said Shorty, reloading his own gun. "We haint no time to lose. They need us over there." "No, don't anybody shoot," commanded Si; "he's just crazy about his partner. He's too brave a man to kill. Say, Johnny, have a little sense.
Don't be so damn touchy. Eneyboddy in the shack?" "No; only the woman, asleep on a stool." "Whar's Tim gone to?" "I reckon he don't even know hisself; he's sure sum drunk." Rale chuckled, patting the side of the horse next him. "Whole caboodle workin' like a charm," he said, good humoredly.
We're all right, came a hoarse reply, and Roy's tall figure rose from close under the opposite rail, and grasping Dimmock, lugged him to his feet. 'Gad, that's done the trick! he panted. 'The other barges are gone. So's the tug. We've bust the whole caboodle. From aft came Captain Carrington's voice, shouting for 'Full speed ahead!
"And there we would be, all wore out with our job, and not pleasin' nobody, nor nothin', but makin' the hull caboodle mad as hens at us; and we a-not meanin' any hurt, none of the time, a-meanin' well towards Jonesville and rinosterhorses. Wouldn't we be in a situation to be pitied, Arvilly?"
"Huh," was Billy's comment, as he went over the mite's wardrobe and came back to center on the little knit shirts, "they look more like a real kid than the whole kit an' caboodle. Why, I can see him in them regular manshirts." Saxon, with a sudden rush of happy, unshed tears, held one of the little shirts up to his lips. He kissed it solemnly, his eyes resting on Saxon's.
