"Instead o' lazin' thar behind the counter when your father ain't here to see ye, John," remarked Billings from the depths of his armchair a few moments after Harkutt had ridden away, "ye orter be bustlin' round, dustin' the shelves. Ye'll never come to anythin' when you're a man ef you go on like that.
"We'll hold on to you," replied Dan, cheerily, as he strapped it around me. Later it turned out that I had exactly the right view concerning this harness, for Dustin Farnum was nearly pulled overboard and But I have not space for that story here. My brother Rome wants to write that story, anyhow, because it is so funny, he says.
Just before dawn of day, when the Indians sleep most profound, Mrs. Dustin softly rose from her bed of earth and touched Mary Neff on the shoulder. A single touch was sufficient to awake her, and she sat up. Next the lad had to be aroused. Being young and wearied, his slumbers were profound. An Indian lay near asleep. Mrs. Dustin seized his tomahawk, and Mrs. Neff seized another Indian's weapons.
Susan gave a little sigh. "You are spendin' a lot of money, sir, and some of it for things that a single gentleman would be likely not to care very much about; and if you was to take it into your head to travel and stay away for a year or two, there's a good many things you've bought that would look shabby when you come back, no matter how careful I might be in dustin' 'em and keepin' 'em covered."
It was Tony's face as Rollins saw it then, full of a young, boyish wistfulness and sweet pain, unmarred dreams and unstained, unbroken illusions, that Rollins wanted to paint. Rollins knew that Mrs. Dustin was a great friend of Tony's and that she would be the best person to coax a consent from the shy, gentle old man.
Lucy's not to ride them hosses, least of all Buckles. He ain't safe even for a man." "Wal, he's safe fer Lucy." "But didn't I say no?" "Boss, it's likely you did, fer you talk a lot," replied Farlane. "Lucy pulled my hat down over my eyes told me to go to thunder an' then, zip! she an' Buckles were dustin' it fer the sage." "She's got to keep out of the sage," growled Bostil.
If you can once get a piece of furniture where you want it, it can stay there until it's worn out or busted, except for occasional dustin' and repairin'. You can add from time to time as you have to, but if you attempt to refurnish a room that's all furnished, and do it all at once, you're bound to make more disturbance than housecleanin'.
Thomas Dustin was a dead shot, and his rifle was the best made at that day. Facing the savages, he fired and shot the leader dead in his tracks. His followers were appalled at the fate of their brawny chieftain, and for a moment hesitated. Mr. Dustin hesitated not a single instant, but proceeded, without a moment's delay, to reload his gun.
"He was here two months ago." "Did he want to take you away with him?" "He did; but I could not go. I promised to remain until your return." "Cora, may it not be dangerous so far on the frontier?" "There is danger; but he has secured me a home with the family of Mr. Dustin, where he thinks I will be safe." "Is your father's brother with him?" "He is." "Did they come here together?"
Dustin helped himself to a cigarette and made himself comfortable. She set herself to win him. He was immensely flattered at her awakened interest. When she called him by his first name, he wagged all over like a pleased puppy. It came to him after a time that she was considering him for a confidential mission.
