"Hi!" shouted the old hunter. "Throw that dawg off, Chad throw him off." But Chad shook his head and smiled. "He won't go back," he shouted, and, indeed, there was Jack squatted on his haunches close by his little master and looking gravely back as though he were looking a last good-by. "Hi there!" shouted old Joel again. "How am I goin to git along without that dawg?
Me why, a yellow dawg has got the edge on me for luck! I might better be dead " His loose lips quivered. Tears of self-pity welled up into his pale blue eyes. He turned away and stared across the barren calf lot that Johnny used for a flying field. Johnny began to have premonitory qualms of a sympathy which he knew was undeserved.
See that dawg?" The man pointed to the lurcher. "See him: he's more'n a brother, more'n a son, more'n a wife to me. That's the dawg you run over that day, and you grinned. I seen it you grinned!" The man's black eyes sparkled. He looked swiftly up the road and down it, and Slotman saw the action and quivered. "I'll give you " he began. "I am very sorry; it was an accident. I'll pay you for "
"How him provin' it!" exclaimed the old negro, warming to his subject. "Why, sah, him provin' it ebbery day ob he life more ways 'n one." "Well, give us an example, if you can remember one." "Yes, sah, I kin. An' I tell you-all one ob de berry simples' t'ings what dat ar Bijah ebber done. He war jest a ornery, stumpy-tail, 'coon dawg, Bijah war, an' him know he warn't nuffin else.
The imported jockey on Parker's horse cast one glance behind him, and at the head of the stretch he sat down hard in his saddle and began hand riding with all his might. Close in the rear rose a shrill whoop of triumph. "No white hawss eveh was game, 'Lisha! Sic him, you big red rascal, sic him! Make him dawg it!" But the Ghost was game to the last ounce.
"Sure; that is if you're not still afraid that the neighbors' dogs will make a meal of him," smiled Donald, and the object of the conversation, who seemed to sense its meaning, sprang eagerly erect and placed his forepaws on the girl's breast. "No dawg haint a-goin' ter tetch him whilst he's with me," she responded with quiet assurance. "Come, Mickey."
The foreman spoke with careful neutrality. "I did. I wisht now I'd laid the two of 'em out together. The dawg tried to feed offa my leg. I shot the blame thing." Charming Billy sat down upon the edge of the table sliding the dishpan out of his way and folded his arms, and pushed his hat farther back from his forehead. His whole attitude spoke impenitent scorn.
"By Jove! we shall have to be philosophers before we breakfast!" Algernon exclaimed. "It's nine. I've to be tied to the stake at ten, chained and muzzled a leetle-a dawg! I wish I hadn't had to leave the service. It was a vile conspiracy against me there, Ned. Hang all tradesmen! I sit on a stool, and add up figures. I work harder than a nigger in the office. That's my life: but I must feed.
"I don't know what he told you, Mawruss," Abe replied, "but it wouldn't be the first time, Mawruss, that a feller tells lies about a concern that he couldn't sell goods to, Mawruss. It's the old story of the dawg and the grapes." Morris looked hurt. "I'm surprised you should call a decent, respectable feller like Sol Klinger a dawg, Abe," he said.
Bein' only a dawg and never havin' tasted good red liquor, you can't know what a big bouquet I'm a-throwin' at you when I say that, neither. I Oh, let's call it a day and go to sleep."
