"I'll show you, you danged dog!" he cursed exultantly as the Ground Hog went down before him, "I'll show you how to run out on me! Come on, you big stiff, and if I don't make you holler quit you can have every dollar you stole!" "Hey, what's the matter, Big Boy? What's going on here?" demanded Bunker of the blond young giant. "I thought you fellers were pardners."
"Is there anythin' doin' in that San Felipe I don't know?" was Pat's natural question. "Things is that slow in this danged town I'm gettin' all dead on me insides." Texas grinned in his slow way. "There'll be another pay day before long."
'Tain't as if it was somebody else's land I'm bringin' into her kitchen. Between us we own every danged bit of land from here to the Middleton dirt-road an' it ain't my fault if it happens to be mud once in awhile. You'd think, the way she acts, I'd been out stealin' somebody else's mud just for the sake of bringin' it into her kitchen.
An' this pretty girl, knowin' that Aydelot property ought to be Thaine Aydelot's, just turns it down, an', by golly, I'll bet she turns him down, too, fearin' he wouldn't feel like takin' it. An' he's clear hiked to the edges of Chiny. Well, it's a danged queer world. I'm glad I've only got Darley Champers to look out for.
"W'y," growled the red-faced innkeeper, bringing his big fist down with a bang, "it's a-comin' to per dition; that's wot it's a-comin' to!" "And wot," inquired a rather long, bony man with a face half-hidden in sandy whisker, "wot might per dition be, Joel; likewise, wheer?" "You must be a danged fule, Tom, my lad!" retorted he whom they called Joel, redder in the face than ever.
Pat gasped for breath. "Ye towld him that! Ye did! Yer a danged sun- baked herrin' av a man wid no proper spirit at all. Fwhat the hell do ye mane to be so slanderin' me reputation an' two or three hundred miles av disert between me an' him? For a sup av wather I'd go to ye wid me two hands." Texas Joe laughed outright. "Let's have another drink instead," he said.
"Dang me!" he said, "if here ain't pig-headed Brent, steaming the 'Jewanita' straight to destruction." "Oh, are you sure it's Captain Brent?" cried Virginia. The Captain looked around in surprise. "If that there was Shreve's old Enterprise come to life again, I'd lay cotton to sawdust that Brent had her. Danged if he wouldn't take her right into the jaws of the Dutch."
"We've just got to have cactus an' water holes an' danged blistering heat in ours; and I don't care so much as the faded label off an empty tomato can if it's in California, or Arizona, or Nevada, so long as it's desert!"
"Black Jarge don't mind a man's eyes, 'cept to black frequent; 'e don't mind nothin', nor nobody." "Job," said the Ancient, tapping his snuff-box, "theer's some things as is better nor gert, big muscles, and gert, strong fists if you wasn't a danged fule you'd know what I mean.
"You're a bunch of crooks!" he burst out indignantly. "I only deposited that money on a bet! And here you turn loose and spend the whole roll, and start to pay me back in fives and tens." "No, but Mr. Calhoun," broke in Judson Eells impatiently, "you don't understand how banking is done." "Yes I do!" yelled back Wunpost, "but, by grab, I had a dream, and I dreamt that your danged bank was broke!
