At Miss Cullen's suggestion we three had a second game of poker, but with chips and not money. She was an awfully reckless player, and the luck was dead in my favor, so Madge kept borrowing my chips, till she was so deep in that we both lost account. Finally, when we parted for the night she held out her hand, and, in the prettiest of ways, said "I am so deeply in your debt, Mr.
Before departing he requested that it should be told to his dear son Patsy that the other boot which he had been looking for was at present under the commode in the return room and that the pair should be sent to Cullen's to be soled only as the heels were still good.
But Tingley, to use the expression of the old-timers, poured the leather into his team, and kept the long lead which he had got. The stage pulled up at Cullen's Station with its load of wounded; and word was sent to Wickenburg for a doctor, who arrived in time to save the lives of the two inside passengers, although both men were shot through the body.
Joshua Higgins turned around to see what had carried away, and met the full blast of the vilest portion of Captain Cullen's profanity. "I made the sheet fast myself," whimpered the mate in the first lull, "with an extra turn to make sure. I remember it distinctly."
"Well, that used to be Cashcarrigan parish; and Father Comyns that's the parish priest in Cash don't live not two miles all out from there; and the widow Byrne's is six miles from where I live out yonder, if it's a step, and yet they must go and put Loch Sheen into this parish." Father Cullen's misfortunes still did not come home to Macdermot; he sat looking at the fire.
It was a run of seven hours, getting us in a little after eight, and in those hours I had done a lot of thinking which had all come to one result, that Mr. Cullen's party was concerned in the hold-up. The two private cars were on a siding, but the Cullens had left for the Grand Cañon the moment they had arrived, and were about reaching there by this time.
The girl reddened, but met Ruth's eyes determinedly. "I've got a book in here, that dad got with some other traps from ol' man Cullen's girls, back in Red Rock they thought we was poorly, an' they helped us that-a-way. It's 'Millie's Lovers, an' it tells how a man deceived a girl, an' run away an' left her the sneakin' coyote!" "Girls shouldn't read such books, Hagar." "Yes, they ought to.
He went staggering back as if struck by a cow-catcher, and lay down on the ground a good fifteen feet away. His having his arm around Miss Cullen's waist unsteadied her so that she would have fallen too if I hadn't put my hand against her shoulder. I longed to put it about her, but by this time I didn't want to please myself, but to do only what I thought she would wish, and so restrained myself.
Well, we coupled on to No. 2 that morning and started East, this time Mr. Cullen's car being the "ender." All on 218 were wildly jubilant, as was natural, but I kept growing bluer and bluer. I took a farewell dinner on their car the night we were due in Albuquerque, and afterward Miss Cullen and I went out and sat on the back platform.
Cullen's little fit of temper. As regards your complaint, I promise you that I will talk to him seriously. Allow me to send for a taxicab for you. Oh! I beg your pardon that is your own car. I only regret that we should have wasted a few minutes of your evening. Good night, gentlemen! Good night, madam!" We left Bow Street amid many manifestations of courtesy and good will.
