With my own eyes I seen you stand off both the Tillotson boys in Prairie View with the brass faucet out of a molasses barrel. And I seen you rope and tie the wildest steer on Little Powder in 39 1-2." "I did, didn't I?" said the other, with a temporary gleam in his eye. "But that was before I was dogmatized." "Does Misses Telfair " began Jim. "Hush!" said the dogman. "Here's another café."
Give him one of our new whitneys to go behind his saddle, and I will make him take two things. I am your legal adviser, Jordas, and you are like all other clients. Upon the main issue, you cast me off; but in small matters you must obey me." The hardy dogman was touched with this unusual care for his welfare.
Suddenly the dog stopped. A tall, brown, long-coated, wide-brimmed man stood like a Colossus blocking the sidewalk and declaring: "Well, I'm a son of a gun!" "Jim Berry!" breathed the dogman, with exclamation points in his voice. "Sam Telfair," cried Wide-Brim again, "you ding-basted old willy-walloo, give us your hoof!"
"No, Sir, it is none o' that kind of thing," the dogman answered, with a smile, as if he might have had such opportunities, but would trouble no lawyer about them; "and I get too much of half price at home.

The dogman discharged this duty well, being as faithful as the dogs he kept, and as keen a judge of human nature. "The man hath no harm in him," he said, touching his hair to the ladies, as he entered the audit-room.
"You came not by the way of the ford, Sir?" the dogman asked, while considering the leathers. "The water is down; you might have saved three miles." "Better lose thirty than my life. Will any of your men, Master Jordas, show me a room, where I may prepare to wait upon your ladies?" Mr.
No poor relatives ever claimed his hospitality; no intimate friends wanted to borrow half-a-crown; no one ever asked him to buy suburban lots, or to take shares in a limited liability company. He was perfectly indifferent to all danger from bush-rangers, burglars, pickpockets, or cattle stealers; he did not even own a dog, so the dogman never asked him for the dog tax.
But I thought I wur duty-bound to tell you that. What is women before a man Yordas?" "My good friend, we will not despair. But you are keeping back something; I know it by your feet.
