This consignment of literature reached Bear Creek about a week before Christmas time. By New Year's Day, the Virginian had begun his education. "Well, I have managed to get through 'em," he said, as he entered Molly's cabin in February. And he laid two volumes upon her table. "And what do you think of them?" she inquired. "I think that I've cert'nly earned a good long ride to-day."
Scipio now officiated. His frying-pan was busy, and prosperous odors rose from it. "Run for a bucket of fresh water, Shorty," the Virginian continued, beginning his meal. "Colonel, yu' cook pretty near good. If yu' had sold 'em as advertised, yu'd have cert'nly made a name." Several were now eating with satisfaction, but not Scipio. It was all that he could do to cook straight.
"So it went all right for quite a while and there wasn't much doin' except the noise, for both sides had big gangs there and you cert'nly could hear 'em. "At the end of the second quarter it was a tie two goals each, and not more'n half the players on the mourners' bench. "What! You don't know what the mourners' bench is?
Once again he looked out at the departing missionary. "Well," he vindictively stated, "I cert'nly ain't goin' to run afteh him." And he looked at me again. "Do you suppose the Judge knows?" I inquired. He shook his head. "The windo' shades is all down still oveh yondeh." He paused. "I don't care," he stated, quite as if he had been ten years old. Then he grinned guiltily.
"Any man is to be congratulated on getting a rise, I expect." This time the Virginian let him have it. "Cert'nly. And I ain't forgetting how much I owe mine to you." Trampas would have liked to let himself go. "I've not come here for any forgiveness," he sneered. "When did yu' feel yu' needed any?" The Virginian was impregnable. Trampas seemed to feel how little he was going this way.
"She's cert'nly got nice eyes," he told himself confidentially, as he lingered slowly on his way; "an' she knows how to use them. She sure made me seem some breathless. An' no girl has ever done that. An' her hair is like" he pondered long over this "like why, I reckon I didn't just ever see anything like it. An' the way she looked at me!" A shadow crossed his face.
"I thought the other day you said you wanted them to let you play with them at being a newspaper reporter or editor or something like that, and they were rude and told you to go away. Wasn't that it?" Florence sighed. "No, mamma, it cert'nly wasn't." "They weren't rude to you?" "Yes, they cert'nly were!" "Well, then " "Mamma, can't you understand?" Florence turned from the window to beseech Mrs.
Hall," said Christie, faintly smiling through her moist eyelashes. "Then will you go at once and secure tickets for to-night's boat, and bring them here? Jessie and I will arrange everything else." "Cert'nly," said Dick impulsively, and preparing to take a graceful leave. "We'll be impatient until you return with the tickets," said Christie graciously.
"And the banns go up next week," murmured the boarding-master to himself. "Well, well." "'Ave you got anything to say agin it?" demanded Mr. Kybird. "Cert'nly not," replied the other. "On'y don't blame me when it's too late; that's all." Mr. Kybird, staring at him wrathfully, turned this dark saying over in his mind. "Too late for wot?" he inquired. "Ah!" said Nathan Smith, slowly.
"Nothing," said the other, feebly. "What did you go to the police about me for, then?" demanded the skipper. "Me?" said the mate, in the shrill accents of astonishment. "Me? I didn't go to no police about you. Why should I?" "Do you mean to say you didn't report my absence last night to the police?" said the skipper, sternly. "Cert'nly not," said the mate, plucking up courage.
