"By cripes, yuh just give me a sight uh that Irish once, and he'll come, if I have to rope and drag 'im!" Big Medicine took his own way of intimating that he held no grudge. "Did yuh hear what Patsy said, by cripes, when he was loading up the chuck-wagon at the store? He turned in all that oil and them olives and anchovies, yuh know, and he told Tom t' throw in about six cases uh blueberries.
So they faced each other in a silent clash of wills. Big Medicine had not been saying much on the way over, which was unusual. Now he rode forward until he was abreast of Weary, and he grinned down at the bug-killer in a way to distract his attention from the gun. "Nobody don't have to shoot, by cripes!" he bawled. "We hain't goin' to kill yuh.
Cripes! hear them bullets smashin' into the wall!" "Remember, kid," said Mole, "if you shout or let out a word, we'll stick a knife between yer slats." From the fierce way in which Mole uttered this threat, Hugh did not doubt he would do as he said. However, he did not yield without a silent struggle, though he was soon overpowered by the two burly ruffians.
"So he goes into the back and in a minute Howard comes out 'Cripes! he says. 'What happened to you? "I was explaining it to him when in came Mr. Frisbee, the manager, and I was introduced to him. 'I received your telegram, I said. 'I didn't have enough money to come first class or anything like that, but here I am. "'Keokuk is here tomorrow, says the manager, 'and we'll pitch you."
But, on the other hand, I'm part owner and you've got to consider me." Judith smiled at him. "What now, Pollock?" she asked. "You're the boss," he repeated stoutly. "But I've got a right to be next in authority. Under you, you know. Why, by cripes, I go around feeling as if I had to take orders from Carson or Tripp or any other of the foremen!" "'By cripes' is good!" laughed Judith. "Go ahead."
We're the locators of this property, and, just to keep the peace, we agreed to give Dusty one third; but that ain't a half and if you say it is again, out you go I'll throw you off my claim!" "Well, a third, then," screeched Old Whiskers, holding his hands about his ears, "but for cripes' sake quit jerking that tent! Ain't a third enough to give me a right to put up my tent on the ground?"
Weary considered briefly. "No, I guess we'll pass 'em up for the present. An hour or so won't make much difference in the long run, and our horses are about all in, right now " "So'm I, by cripes!" Big Medicine attested, grinning mirthlessly. "This here sheep business is plumb wearin' on a man. 'Specially," he added with a fretful note, "when you've got to handle 'em gentle.
Stratton's teeth dug into his under lip, and one hand gripped the edge of the counter with a force that brought out a row of white dots across the knuckles. "You mean to tell me there's a a woman at the Shoe-Bar?" he asked incredulously. "At it?" snorted the old man. "Why, by cripes, she owns it! Not only that, but folks say she's goin' to run the outfit herself like as if she was a man."
"Idees sure seems to be skurce in this outfit or that there lily-uh-the-valley couldn't set and comb no chaps in broad daylight, by cripes; not and get off with it." "He's an ornament to the Flying U," Pink stated dreamily. "Us boneheads don't appreciate him, is all that ails us. What we ought to do is help him be as pretty as he wants to be, and " "Looky here, Little One."
Two of them were tall and well set up; the third was short and stocky and held a branding iron in one hand. Meeting Stratton's gaze, he laughed loudly. "By cripes, Bud! Yuh shore are easy. I thought yuh had more guts than to be scared of an iron that's hardly had the chill took off." He guffawed again, the other two joining in.
