Every morning he made such a noise coming down stairs that Aunt Callie, the housekeeper, declared he was trying to tear the house down. When he had run through the long old house, shutting the doors behind him with a bang, he came into the barnyard and looked about with an amazed air of expectancy. It seemed to him that in such a place tremendous things might have happened during the night.
As the Kentuckian explained, Callie was deeply interested. "You mean as how you can tell way back jus’ what hosses bred your hosses? That’s sure somethin’! Round here we knows a good hoss, but we ain’t always sure of his pa, not if he’s wild stuff." "Lots of wild horses hereabouts then?" "Sure.
I doubt if there was room to place a pin between them. "Oh! Callie, what are they?" "Shots shots from the hypodermic needle that we used to inject the morphine. "Hurt? No, not much; besides, we get to be such slaves to it that we'd gladly hurt our bodies for the sake of it. It's the most demoralizing, hard-to-break habit on earth. But glory to God!
A serious misunderstanding as to positions in the fair here threatened to arise, but it was all averted by the obliging Tony, who undertook to transport all bullion from the tables to the cashier's office. There now appeared the president's little sister, "Callie Doodles," as she was familiarly called. "O, boys, she's got a cent, for mother promised it to her!
"We're right at the ford," he remarked, as if his horse could understand what he said. "It won't hurt you to go out," he continued. "It's a hot day, and you can get cooled off good." And the girls in the boat were rejoiced to see the horse headed toward them. "Oh, how lucky that we're at the ford," said Callie, "otherwise the man might not venture. See, Eleanor! See, Florence, he can tow us in.
We could almost walk ashore," she said. "We are right over the old ford," said Callie. Suddenly she sprang to her feet and began to tear off the skirt of her frock. As soon as she was freed from it she began to wave it frantically. "I see some one on shore," she exclaimed, excitedly. "All shout as loud as you can, girls;" and across the water rang the shrill cry of "Help! Help! Help!"
Ain’t too many men as goes round Tubacca throwin’ out good money thataway. ’Less it’s ringin’ down on th’ bar, or slidin’ ’cross some table ’cause they found out as how they was holdin’ Jacks against some other fella’s Kings. You want anything—you jus’ holler, Mister Kirby!" "Mister?" Drew thought he did not have the advantage of Callie by more than four or five years. "Oh—Captain Kirby, maybe?
One girl and two men agreed to forsake sin, and I was happy in the thought of conveying her to San Jose on our return next day, whilst Callie planned for the men. We did what we could for the time being and then went out into the fresh air. I asked Callie how many lived under that roof. To my amazement, she said, "All told, about forty just at present."
Then we took them to breakfast; but they ate sparingly, and were not satisfied until they had taken some of their favorite drug. Two and a half hours later Callie and I were it home once more, and our young men were in the safe keeping of two sanctified brothers.
Some people go equipped for this kind of expedition with a hundred regulars, and even cannon. I am for the tradition of Douls and René Callie, I go alone. I was at that perfect moment when only one thin thread still held me to the civilized world when an official cable arrived at Wargla.
