"Hello, Corp," said my Iron Brigade, as he took his legs down from a table, and poured out a glass of whisky from a bottle near him, "This is the divil's own place for an aisy life." "Gorporal," said my Dutch fellow soldier, as he poured out a glass of schnapps, "Led me indroduce you mit dot repel. He is a tasy, und don'd you forgot aboud it. Mishder repel, dot ish der gorporal fun my gumpany."
"I know that I know it," said Mr. Latham impatiently. "That is the very question we are trying to solve." "Und if we don'd solve him, Laadham, ve'll haf to do vatever as he says," Mr. Schultze continued slowly. "Und ve may haf to do vatever as he says, anywhow." "Put one hundred million dollars into diamonds in one year just the five of us?" demanded the other. "It's preposterous."
"Ay gass dere ain't anybody much dot don'd have someding dis tams a year." "Oh, yes, there are, Nels! You bet there are!" Charlie nodded at his partner with serious conviction. "Now, there's the Roneys," he waved his pipe over his shoulder.
Vos you plind your eyesight in?" "Oh, I knew I couldn't hit," chuckled Bubbs, "so I got hit. That's part of the game." "Veil, mebbe dot vos so, but you don'd pelief it. Der next man vill haf something different to did." Netterby was the next man. After pitching a ball behind Net's back and another one over his head, Hans managed to get one across the pan.
"If ye fool around here all night it will git so thunderin' dark I can't see ter hit ther middle button on the Dutchman's coat." "Vos you goin' to abologize?" shouted Hans. "Be you goin' to run away?" demanded Ephraim. "Uf you don'd abologize, I voss a dead man," cried the Dutch lad, threateningly. "Ef you don't run away, you're a dead man," declared the Vermonter.
"Don'd tell me you vas come aboud some more of dose chustice businesses. Me, I make oud no more of dem warrants, nichts. Dot teufel Rufford iss come back again, alretty, and " Lidgerwood broke the refusal in the midst. "You are an officer of the law, Schleisinger more is the pity, both for you and the law and you must do your duty. I have come to swear out another warrant.
"The reason I'm putting you on the first watch is because you're such a sleepyhead." "Don'd vorry aboud me," said Carl, with a yawn. "I pet you I vas der sleepinglessness feller in der whole bunch. If he gets avay on my vatch it vill not be pecause I don'd sleep." "I guess you mean all right, but I swear I can't understand you. Only keep awake." "Oh, yah; I avake keeping all der time."
Hans Dunnerwust managed to blunder along and keep in the game by sheer luck, for he did not play the cards for their face value at any time. Still he made enough to keep on his feet and not have to get out of the game. "Vell!" Hans finally exclaimed, as he tried in vain to win, "uf I don'd do petter as dot, I vill suicide go und gommit bretty soon alretty."
I peen not more than a year younger as you vos yourselluf! Don'd you git so bersonal in my remarks!" Then he saw Barney Mulloy, who was standing near, a broad grin on his face. With a howl, Hans flung the carpetbag and the flute straight up into the air. "Id vos Parney!" he shouted. "Id vos dot Irish pogtrotter!"
"Oh, dunder und blitzen!" panted Hans. "Dot vos a shook! Uf I don't ged avay oud uf here righd off, I peen gone grazy! I don'd vant any shook in mine!" "It is some fellow playing a joke on us," said Harvey Dare, angrily. "Some one has concealed himself in there. Bring the light, fellows, and we will soon find out."
