And now, the finest girl he had ever seen was chumming with him, and he was not afraid, that is, not very much afraid. When Mildred had packed up to go home on the occasion of her former visit she had invited Mrs. Trent to take her pick of her drawings for her own. "All but this," Mildred had said. "This which I call 'Sunset in the Marshland' I am going to give to Dorian."
'A dog, she used to say, 'can have a good heart, without chumming with every Tom, Dick, and Harry he meets. Your behaviour is sometimes quite un-doglike. Mother prided herself on being a one-man dog. She kept herself to herself, and wouldn't kiss anybody except master not even Fred. Now, I'm a mixer. I can't help it. It's my nature. I like men.
But here I am listening to your silly dreams instead of watering the melons and cucumbers!" And out he went to his garden, but in a minute he put his head in at the door and said, "You may go and tell him to get up if you like. Poor little fellow! Only make him promise not to go chumming with spotted snakes any more, and not to bring them into the house, because somehow they disagree with me."
He surveyed the room with eyes that missed nothing. "I knew it," he smiled, as though at the sight of an old friend as he found the safe in the far corner of the room. "I heard your door shut the other day, old party, when I was chumming with Wanda and you and the rest of the combination was talking war talk. Not to waste time we'll begin with you."
Monty Scruggs suddenly remembered how badly he had been hurt, and started to drag himself off in search of the Surgeon, while Harry Joslyn and Sandy Baker, chumming together for the first time, snuggled together in their blankets, and sought that relief from the excitement and fatigues of the day which kindly Nature never refuses to healthy young bodies.
"Everywhere." "I'll put it straight. Where shall we start in?" Again the beautiful Cad Metti pondered, and after an interval said: "Criminals as a rule are fond of race betting." "That's so." "We've picked up many a clue down at the race track." "We have." "Let's try a little chumming down there. Good races are on, and if ever our bluefish show up at the track they will do so this present week."
Well, it was a great chumming game well played played before a lot of men who were as avaricious as impecunious gamblers always are. There were men there who bet and lost.
The mental picture of the immaculate, devil-may-care Brent McElroy sent down in behalf of his father's corporation to develop coal fields, to run a line for the little railroad which Bob had just characterized as "dinky," and otherwise to put into practice college experiences not included in its curriculum chumming with this new child of nature, threw them again into peals of mirth.
Flanagan was the only fellow who seemed really sorry. The rest of the ill- conditioned lot saw in the affair only a good opportunity of crowing over their ill-starred adversary, and telling me it served me right for chumming up to such a one.
Early next morning the newsboy went around the cars, and chumming on a more extended principle became the order of the hour. It requires but a copartnery of two to manage beds; but washing and eating can be carried on most economically by a syndicate of three. I myself entered a little after sunrise into articles of agreement, and became one of the firm of Pennsylvania, Shakespeare, and Dubuque.
