'Didn't ye ask to be called here? "'No, says Bertillon, 'an' ye didn't ask me, ayther. I come. Ye said jus' now, Why do I believe th' Cap's guilty? I will show ye. In th' spring iv ninety-five or th' fall iv sixty-eight, I disraymimber which, Gin'ral Merceer' "'Ye lie, says Gin'ral Merceer, coldly.
By this time the wind was blowing a regular gale on the bay. It took off Tom's cap, and in a twinkle the headgear was out of sight. "My cap's gone!" groaned the youth. "The water is coming in over the bow!" came from Sam. "We will be swamped!" "We must throw the goats overboard," said the captain, and overboard went the game, much to the boys' sorrow.
"That is easily said, but not so easily done," returned the guide. "We shall be more exposed in the river than by following the woods; and then there is the Oswego rift below us, and I am far from sartain that Jasper himself can carry a boat safely through it in the dark. What say you, lad, as to your own skill and judgment?" "I am of Master Cap's opinion about using the canoe.
"The old Cap's built his house like a fort, anyway. And he's some man with a gun believe me!" "You say he's sick," said the other man, and he, too, drawled. Frances found herself wondering where she had heard that voice before. "He ain't so sick that he can't guard that chest you was talkin' about. He's had his bed made up right in the room with it. That's whatever," said Ratty.
One thing at a time, and now it's breakfast." "Well, hanged if I want to charge under the lead of any other captain!" remarked Sam, meditatively sipping his coffee. "If that girl up yonder knows Cap's worth, she'll cry her eyes out if anything happens to him." A few moments later the birds fled to the closest cover, startled by the innumerable bugles sounding the note of preparation.
Young Jasper smiled, for he was not averse to fun, and had been a little touched by Cap's superciliousness; but Mabel's fair face, light, agile form, and winning smiles, stood like a shield between her uncle and the intended experiment. "Perhaps the Sergeant's daughter will be frightened," said he. "Not she, if she has any of the Sergeant's spirit in her.
When school-time was over and the rain was still coming down, they would run away to their dolls, who, poor things, were always ill, so that Florence might have the pleasure of curing them. And though before Cap's accident she had never heard of a compress, she could make nice food for them at the nursery fire, and bandage their broken arms and legs while Parthy held the wounded limb steady.
"And I don't believe you'd 'a' had much more luck if you'd got away with the old Cap's chest." "I tell you there's a fortune in it!" "You don't know " "And I suppose you do?" snarled Pete. "I know no sane man ain't going to keep a whole mess of jewels and such, what you talk about, right in his house. He'd take 'em to a bank at Amarillo, or somewhere." "Not that old codger.
We called him "Red Cap," from his wearing a jaunty, gold-laced, crimson cap. Ordinarily, the smaller a drummer boy is the harder he is, but no amount of attrition with rough men could coarse the ingrained refinement of Red Cap's manners.
"You wouldn't kill the Sergeant before his time?" Pathfinder reproachfully answered. "Life is sweet, even to the aged; and, for that matter, I've known some that seemed to set much store by it when it got to be of the least value." Nothing had been further from Cap's real thoughts than the wish to hasten his brother-in-law's end.
