'What'll I wear? The Father giv wan glance at his head. 'Wear a wig, sez he." Ann chuckled, and fetched the old man the cup of tea he always expected. "Faith, he did better nor that lasht week," she confided. "'Twas auld Roberts at the hotel down by the deepo that got it. His little dog does always be barkin' at Rover.
Then she was gone, like a silent visitor who withdraws a presence that has scarcely been felt. The mate crossed the road and addressed the man who stood nearest. "Where's the deepo?" he demanded, abruptly. "The railway station." The other gave directions which the mate heard, frowning.
And then, let me think ..... Dilwortby will be elected to-day, and by day, after to-morrow night he will be in New York ready to put in his shovel and you haven't lived in Washington all this time not to know that the people who walk right by a Senator whose term is up without hardly seeing him will be down at the deepo to say 'Welcome back and God bless you; Senator, I'm glad to see you, sir! when he comes along back re-elected, you know.
So it ended, good enough, by their getting him fixed tight in his hole. The boys kept things going with him pretty late that night, and when he showed up in the morning at the deepo a delegation seeing to it he got there, and Hill having the coach all ready for him he still had on him a fairly sizable jag.
There was about a dozen of 'em in the list; and they was told the notice being posted at the deepo they had twenty-four hours to get out in; and it was added that them that wasn't out in twenty-four hours would find 'emselves landed on the dumps for keeps. A few of 'em kicked a little saying it was a free country, and they guessed they'd a right to be where they'd a mind to.
Gussie would cleat his throat and begin: 'There's a great big choo-choo waiting at the deepo. What's it waiting for? GUSSIE: 'For I'm off to Tennessee. He did this all through the song. At first poor old Gussie asked him to stop, but the chappie said, No, it was always done. It helped to get pep into the thing.
'Tis a good thing, but I want to keep it bottled up," he says. "Thin Jawn took th' thrain an' begun confidin' his secret to a few select frinds. He give it to th' conductor on th' thrain, an' th' porther, an' th' candy butcher; he handed it to a switchman that got on th' platform at South Bend, an' he stopped off at Detroit long enough to tell about it to the deepo' policeman.
Santa Fé said it was all in the game to run him up to the telegraph-pole in front of the deepo, the same as other folks; but no committee had no right, he said, to make a circus of him by packing him all round the place after poor old Bill who always had been plain in his tastes, and would have been the last man in Palomitas to want that kind of a fuss made over him and he didn't mean to take a hand in no such fool carryings-on.
"No, no. . . There, there, don't bother me any more. I'm in a hurry." "Hurry! So'm I in a hurry. I was cal'latin' to run acrost to the deepo and see Helen Kendall start for Boston. She's goin' this morning; did you know it?"
When, however, they reached Stone's Landing the Senator looked about him and inquired, "Is this Napoleon?" "This is the nucleus, the nucleus," said the Colonel, unrolling his map. "Here is the deepo, the church, the City Hall and so on." "Ah, I see. How far from here is Columbus River? Does that stream empty " "That, why, that's Goose Run.
