From violent agitation, Martine unconsciously shook the figure outlined in the blanket roughly, as he asked, "What's your name?" "Yankee Blank, doggone yer! Kyant you wake a feller 'thout yankin' 'im out o' baid? What yer want?" "Great God!" muttered Hobart, tottering back to his seat beside his sleeping cousin, "was there ever such a horrible, mocking suggestion of one man in another?
Presently Gary and Cotton appeared and picked up their ropes. Andy White, who had seen his own easily caught pony, graciously offered the use of it in hunting the strayed horse, but Gary declined the offer gruffly. "He's so doggone mean his face hurts him," stated Pete, as Gary and Cotton set off together. "We'll lose some time if his hoss has lit out for home," said Andy.
"Doggone it, don't yuh lie to me. Think I was shipped in on the last train? A man don't git red in the face when he's just merely headed for Butte. Why, doggone yuh " The last words had to serve for a farewell, because Andy was limping away as fast as he could, and did not come back to the house again.
Was he not a partner in pop's homestead? Then a thin red flash from the cabin window told him that Annersley was there. Following the flash came the rip and roar of the old rifle. Concealed in the timber, Pete could see the flames licking up the stable. Presently a long tongue of yellow shot up the haystack. "The doggone snakes done fired our hay!" he cried, and his voice caught in a sob.
That doggone clerk of his, he'd say, had got the order wrong; and always, in the same old way, he'd sing the same old song. He seemed to think apologies were all I should desire, when he had sent me moldy cheese or herrings made of wire. And when his bill came in, by jings, it always made me hot; he'd have me charged with divers things I knew I never bought.
Kent was only a boy, but he was mature in spite of his heedless ways. Staring at the tragedy in Lydia's ravished little face, a sympathy for her pain as real as it was unwonted swept over him. Suddenly he dropped down beside her on the log and threw his boyish arms about her. "I'm so doggone sorry for you, Lydia!" he whispered. Lydia lifted startled eyes to his.
"But I throwed in with The Spider and that goes." "That's your business and as you was sayin' your business ain't mine. But throwin' a fast gun won't do you no good round here." "Oh, I don't claim to be so doggone fast," stated Pete. "Faster than Steve Gary?" Pete's easy glance centered to a curious, tense gaze which was fixed on the third button of Brent's shirt.
And so it came to pass. Presently, we saw the horseman turn off at right angles; the jaded colts hesitated, trotted a few yards, and stood still. A faint neigh floated down wind. "Doggone it!" exclaimed old man Dumble, "his horse is fresh. He's got friends in the hills." We had left the trail, and were pounding over the sage-brush desert.
When Emerson made no reply, the fellow's colorless eyes settled upon him with a trace of solicitude, and he resumed: "I'm doggone sorry you lost out, pal, but mebbe something'll turn up yet." Then, seeing that the young man was deaf to his condolence, he muttered: "So, you've got 'em again, eh? Um!"
"Well, I been feelin' round in the hay and right in my corner is a nest full of eggs. There's so doggone many I figure that some of 'em is gettin' kind of ripe. Did you ever git hit in the eye with a ripe egg?" "Not that I recollect'." "Well, you would if you had. Now I don't know what that swelled up gent in there figures on doin' with us. And I don't aim to hang around to find out.
