"There!" he panted, desisting finally. "NOW I reckon you know whether I been up there or not!" Herman rubbed his smitten cheek. "Pow!" he exclaimed. "Pow-ee! You cert'ny did lan' me good one NAT time! Oo-ee! she HURT!" "You'll get hurt worse'n that," Penrod assured him, "if you stay around here much. Rupe Collins is comin' this afternoon, he said.
'Have I trained my men well or not? he asked, desisting at last, and turning to Cucurullo. 'You have trained them to tell the truth about you, sir, I have no doubt, answered the hunchback.

The exponent of sweetness and light leaned forward and clung desperately to the mane, crying, "Whoa! Stop! Desist!" But Blue Streak had no intention of desisting as long as the roan was in front. Tex Lindsay's horse was a racer. No other animal was going to pass it. The legs of the dark horse stretched for the road. It flew past the cowpony as though the latter had been trotting.
