"But the train hasn't stopped." "It's just crawlin' along, and he was in a hurry."
Of course my horse had give out long ago, and I was jest beginnin' to despair when I come across one of them big piles of rocks they have up there, scattered around promiscus-like on the face of nature; and I begin crawlin' in and crawlin' in, hopin' to find some cave or somethin', and jest as I was despairin' my feet fell into a kind of trail, kinder smooth and worn, but old, you know, and stomped hard under the snow.
"It was the first flash-light I ever see, and all I recall now is a panorama of starin' eyeballs and gaping mouths. When it seen it wasn't torpedoed, the population begin crawlin' out from under chairs and tables. Men hopped out like toads in a rain.

Dr. Slavens stepped to the tent to see how the patient rested, and Ten-Gallon gave Agnes another wink. "Comanche's dwindlin' down like a fire of shavin's," said he.

I'm goin' to get him good. He'll be crawlin' on his hands and knees to me before I'm through with him." "What good will that do you? I'm offering you cold cash just to let the truth get out that Collins was trying to kill him when he got hit." "Nothin' doin'. I've been layin' for this boob. I've got him now. I'm goin' to turn the screws on and listen to him holler."
Down the broad sweep of drive they went, the Old Un pouring forth fluent curses with every step, until they came to a powerful automobile from beneath which a pair of neatly gaitered legs protruded.
