They ain't a oat in that box but what out-classes you they've all growed faster'n you can run! The only thing worse'n you is a ticket on you to win. If I pulls your shoes off 'n' has my choice between you 'n' them I takes the shoes. If I wouldn't be pinched fur it I gives you to the first nut they lets out of the bughouse you sour-bellied-mallet-headed-yellow pup!
Lamson gave the alarm, an' nearly ever'body in town got out o' bed. They telegraphed to Boggs City an' all around, but it didn't seem to do no good. Them horses went faster'n telegraphs." "Did you ever see them fellers before?" "No, sir; but I think I'd know 'em with their masks off." "Was they masked?" "Their faces were." "Oh, my poor little Rosalie!" sobbed old Anderson hopelessly.
And pa said I might, only I'd better look out or the fellow would use me as he was usin' the horse. But I wasn't afraid, for he was half-drunk, and I knew I could clip it faster'n he could. "Well, sir, I went out there and I stood around a while, and says I, 'What'll you bet I can't get your horse to the top of the hill? And he said he wouldn't bet a red cent.
They eat faster'n I can kill 'em, an' in a week the crops 'ull be about all gone. It looks as though when winter comes we won't have anythin' to eat. I b'lieve I've killed ten thousand of those creatures to-day, an' yet they came faster'n drops in a rain-storm." Then he picked up little Hannah an' lay down on the bed with her in his arms, sayin' no more.
"I know it, because there never was no such steamers sailing into this port before the war. Them fellows over the water are sending in goods faster'n we can take 'em out. Go aloft, Marcy, and holler the minute you see anything that looks like a sail or a smoke."
Rube scrambled to his feet. "Look! look, Boss!" he cried, excitedly. "Gee! did y'ever see a critter run like that? My! jus' look! Kiddie may well say she c'd outdistance any hoss. D'you reckon a railroad train c'd go faster'n that, Gideon!" "Dunno," said Gideon, watching the animal racing at full stretch through a cloud of dust.
"Think o' the awkward squads that used to be continually fallin' over their own feet, and stabbing theirselves with their own bayonets." "Seems so," answered Shorty, "but I don't know that they've growed any faster'n we have. Walt Slusser, who's bin Orderly at Headquarters, says that he heard Capt. McGillicuddy tell Col.
And he's such a fool head that he wouldn't ask questions nor suspicion nothin'. 'Twould be faster'n a horse and enough sight less risky." And just then the "fool head," his brain whirling under its carroty thatch, was hurrying blindly up the main street, bound somewhere, he wasn't certain where. A mushy apple exploded between his shoulders, but he did not even turn around.
That ain't much time, but it's enough time to mean life or death! That's all! I'm not the only man that's faster'n you are. They's others. I've never been beat to the draw, but they's some that's shot so close to me that it sounded like one gun going off with a sort of a stammer. And any one of those men would of shot you dead, Bull, if you'd fought 'em.
I must remember it was only the locomotive, and it was obliged to do those disagreeable things to make the cars go faster'n, faster'n, faster'n How much faster I did not have time to find out, for Uncle Dan just then called to get me. A light cover with a hole in the top was slipped over my cage, and I started on my journey. Of my trip, of course, I knew nothing.
