He wanted somebody to dig a hole and cover Fitzpatrick up. Anybody could see that the railroad scheme was deader than a last year's pass, the farm hopeless, and the house fast becoming a ruin. It was enough to make a man jump off a dock. Fitz's tirade was interrupted by Chad, who appeared with a message. The colonel wanted everybody in the library.
I thought you was dead!" "You didn't think I was any deader than I thought you was," said Tom, with something of his old dull manner. "Cr-a-ab apples and custarrd pies!" Archer exclaimed, still hardly able to believe his eyes. "I sure did think you was at the bottom of the ocean!" "I didn't ever think I'd see you again, either," said Tom.
"Hell of a good shot, though I reckon the blame fool meant it for me." He threw the rifle forward, in readiness, and moved cautiously over toward Hughes. "Deader than a door-nail," he muttered, pressing back the buffalo coat, and staring contemptuously down into the white, staring face. "I wonder how that coward ever happened to be here laying out for me, I reckon!"
"Pinched him right on de spot." "Gun 'Slim, did he?" "Nope. Knocked him cold wit' a chair. Cracked his skull." "Is he dead?" "He'll never be deader. Dave grabbed this sucker Lindsay and yelled that he done it. The bulls pinched him like I said right there." "Did it happen in the dark?" "Sure as you're a foot high. My job was dousin' the glims, and I done it right."
Silvey, surprised by the sudden attack from the rear, turned and received a cucumber full upon his half-open lips. "Who did that?" he sputtered, as he dislodged the acrid fragments from his mouth. Red threw caution to the winds and danced exultantly out in the open. "You're a deader. You're a deader. I killed the general. I killed the general." Silvey advanced on him furiously.
One big Reb grabbed their colors, and tried to pull them out of the hands of the color-bearer. But old Captain Orr, a little, short, dried-up fellow, about sixty years old, struck him with his sword across the back of the neck, and killed him deader than a mackerel, right in his tracks.
Deader 'n a burned out cigarette." "Well," observed Donovan dispassionately, "that's the limit!" "I agree with you," said the colonel, and there was a curious look on his face. "Though if you mean it's the end I beg to differ. It's only the beginning." "How'd it happen?" asked Donovan sharply. "We don't know," was the answer.
I seen his shadder. I heard his shots comin' from the room. Jack, you seen an' heerd same as me. "'Sure. I know the Ranger's cashed, replied Blome. 'It's not that. I'm sore, boys. "'Deader 'n a door-nail in hell! replied Pickens, louder, as he lifted his glass. 'Here's to Lone Star Steele's ghost! An' if I seen it this minnit I'd ask it to waltz with me!
Mosher fished another cucumber from his trousers and fired squarely at his advancing enemy. That gentleman dodged, tripped upon a bit of debris, and fell over backwards with a "plop." As Skinny advanced incautiously to make sure of his victim, Red retired him with a glancing shot on his upraised hand. "You're a deader, you're a deader," he yelled as Mosher lifted his arm a second time.
Tobacker'll kill 'em deader than small-beer. Why didn't I think about it before?" Shorty had some strong black plug tobacco. He cut this up into small pieces, while Si found an old tin can, into which they were put, and then the can filled up with boiling water.
