"No, by gum! it don't," replied the sheriff, with a promptness which made the other laugh. "If I knew any way short of choking her to get the truth I'd do it." "You mean to try?" "To choke her?" "To get the truth." "I'm goin' to appeal to her first." The Dago Duke laughed sardonically. "You think it won't work?" "Not for a minute." "I'll see what bull-dozing will do, then."
Curtis that if she has to be washed, I'll wash her. I don't want no dago splashin' water all over the barn floor an' drawin' pay fer doin' it. Then's when I hears about the new car. Mr. Loeb comes out an' asts me if I ever drove a Packard twin-six. I says no I ain't, an' he says it's too bad. He asts the dago if he's ever drove one and the dago lies like thunder.
I'll be blamed for not holding them in check. Why, you've no idea of the completeness of their organization; it has a thousand branches and it takes in some of their very best people. I dare say you think this Mafia is some dago secret society with lodge-rooms and grips and passwords and a picnic once a year. Well, I tell you "

"Sir, I demand an explanation of this most unwarrantable intrusion," spoke the ranger haughtily, in his best Spanish. A patter of soft foreign vowels flowed from the stranger's embarrassment. "You durned old hawss-stealing greaser, cayn't you talk English?" drawled the gipsy, with a grin.
"Now, then, you Dago there," the officer of the watch shouted at him. "Keep that stone movin', an' none of yer shenanikin'!" "Yais, sir," answered the Dago, and bowed himself obediently. It needed the ingenuity of Bill to trouble his tranquility of mind.
But then he hated to go without getting even with the hard-hearted screw who had put his pipe out. Was there any way to do it? Softly stepping among the clods came Tony, he of the race of Goths, who worked in the kitchen. He grinned at Burney's elbow, and that unhappy man, full of race animosity and holding urbanity in contempt, growled at him: "What d'ye want, ye Dago?"
"I hope you didn't offend him." "Oh, not at all. Those little milliners are mighty sensitive. I told him he had the makings of another Le Coq, but the force was full. I suggested that he work on the outside, and set him to watching a certain dago fruit-stand on Canal Street." "Why that particular stand?" "Because it's owned by one of our men and he can't come to any harm there.

"For calling me dago!" smiled Garcia. "Me, whose blood is of Castile." He stripped off his gloves and tossed them into the road. "They are spoil! Bah. Pig!" Rand was back at the threshold, his face blood red, his hands dripping the mud from the slushy road. But young Frank Marquette had stepped out to meet him and had closed the door.
"I'm not surprised at that, since your interest in your contract patients extends no further than their pockets." "If you're here to insult me " "I couldn't do that," returned the Dago Duke composedly; "I've tried." "You've got to explain." "That's what I came for." He smiled pleasantly. "Well?" She tapped her foot. "Don't rush me, Doc.
