Now I want you to call on every citizen in Antelope and tell every dog-goned one of 'em what Lone Johnny kind of hinted at regarding the Concho and Loring. And show 'em this note from Jack. Tell 'em I'm going to swear in each of 'em as a special. I want to go on record as having done what I could." The deputy rose. "All right, Jim. Kind of late to make that move, ain't it?"
Or did the widow and Carolyn June blow out the lights on you " "Forget it, you danged fool!" Skinny said crossly. "Can't you ever get over your dog-goned craziness? They was just tired and went to bed. Give me that package, it's mine and private!" reaching for the bundle. Chuck, with a laugh, threw it at him.
He's a terror, a dog-goned terror!" "Oh, we'll manage," said Shock lightly. "I mean to start early in the morning." "Before he gets up, eh? As I remarked before, you're a bird!" For some moments Ike hung about the camp, poking the fire, evidently somewhat disturbed in his mind.
"Haint got a dog-goned ear left!" was the surly answer. "Some o' you-unses men wuz out here yisterdy 'n' tuk every bit I hed." This may or may not have been true. Inquiries of this nature always developed the fact that it was a man's neighbors who had plenty of corn; he never had any himself. "There's ole man Scroggs," he continued; "he lives a matter of two miles from hyar.
I returned to New Orleans in the latter part of 1848. I was walking one morning along the Levee, with a fair companion on my arm, when a well-known voice struck on my ear, exclaiming: "I'll be dog-goned, Rowl, if it ain't the cap'n!" I turned, and beheld Raoul and the hunter. They had doffed the regimentals, and were preparing to "start" on a trapping expedition to the Rocky Mountains.
"'Well, mother, says I, 'put on your bilin' water an' we'll see if dead tarrapin is fit fur to eat! She smiled through her cryin', and put the water on, an' when it began to bubble in the pot, I lifted up one of them tarrapins an' dropped him in the bilin' water, an' Jack, I'll be dog-goned if them other three tarrapins didn't run right off the table an' drop on to the flo' an' skeet for that cellar door!
"Wal, I'll be dog-goned!" ejaculated Daggs, thoughtfully, as he stroked his long mustache. "I'll say to them what I've said to y'u," went on Ellen. "I'll tell dad to make y'u let me alone. I wouldn't marry one of y'u y'u loafers to save my life. I've my suspicions about y'u. Y'u're a bad lot." Daggs changed subtly. The whole indolent nonchalance of the man vanished in an instant.
Ben's death had cast a heavy gloom over them, and but few words were spoken, until the meal was cooked and eaten. "It is a dog-goned bad business," Jerry said. "I don't say at night as we mayn't get past them without being hit, but to go rushing into one of those canons in the dark would be as bad as standing their fire, if not wuss. The question is could we leave the boats and strike across?"
The cowboy drew a deep breath, as if his mind was passing into the last stages of dissolution. "Well, I'm dog-goned," he whispered to himself. Scully wheeled suddenly and faced his son. "You've been troublin' this man!" Johnnie's voice was loud with its burden of grievance. "Why, good Gawd, I ain't done nothin' to 'im." The Swede broke in. "Gentlemen, do not disturb yourselves.
