Say, wa'an't ther' a yarn 'bout some blamed citizen what took to a cave, an' the checkens an' things got busy feedin' him?" "Ravens," said Sunny. "Ravens nuthin'," cried the indignant Sandy. "Checkens of the air, they was." Sunny shrugged. "That ain't no sort o' Bible talk, anyway," he protested. "You need suthin' what gives 'em a lesson. Now, ther's Nore an' his floatin' ranch "
He felt that it was good to live that morning, and his spirits rose as he saw the old man fall further and further under the spell of Jimmy Grayson's eloquence. But Simpson raised himself presently and glanced at the door. "That driver of yourn is tarnal slow," he repeated. "Seems to me he'll never finish feedin' an' curryin' them horses!" "He is slow, extremely slow," laughed Jimmy Grayson.
I told him nothin' doin'. They sure took on class when they got meat to get outside of; but it goes against the grain feedin' dog-critters on grub that's worth two and a half a pound. Come on an' have a drink. I just got to celebrate them eighteen pounds of sweetenin'." Several minutes later, as he weighed in on the gold-scales for the drinks, he gave a start of recollection.
There was a long silence. The young man did not know how to interrupt that pause. "I'm feedin' an' tendin' him like I used to when he was a baby an' I a six-year-old. He's at my camp, Mr. Parker. He don't ever want to be seen agin in the world, he says only an old, trimmed, dead tree, he says. Poor old Gid! No matter what he's been, no matter what he's done, you'd pity him now, Mr.
Peter stirred uneasily in his chair. "I don't keer about holdin' no talk with 'er ur startin' 'er off by the sight o' me but I'll go thar I see 'er door ain't shet an' I'll put the grub whar she'll see it." "Well, that'll do," agreed Mrs. Slogan. "Feedin' 'er ain't a-goin' to make 'er any wuss, an' it mought have a quietin' effect."
So you really are a pet? Best kind of a pet in the whole world, too! Makin' everybody, at sees you happy, an' havin' some chance to be happy yourself. An' I look like your friend? Well! Well! I'm monstrous willin' to adopt you if you'll take me; an', as for feedin', from to-morrow on I'll find time to set your little table 'long this same rail every day.
I encounters him in one of the little jim-crow restauraws you-all finds now an' then in the Injun country. Hardrobe an' me shakes, an' then he camps down ag'in at a table where he's feedin' on fried antelope an' bakin' powder biscuit. "I'm standin' at the counter across the room.
"Right you are, sorr," replied Mr McCarthy. "I'll say to that!" "Say, mister," interposed the American, who had remained silent during the deliberations of the other two, although he was supposed to be present at the council and a deliberative member. "How'll the grub last all that air time! Twenty-seven folks all told, as I've kalkerlated 'em, take a powerful lot of feedin' in four months!"
"No, siree, I don't. All I reckon is a passage to Klondike in your boat would be mighty square of you." "You haven't an ounce of grub, old man. You'll starve to death when you get there." "I've been feedin' some long time pretty successful," Old Tarwater replied, a whimsical light in his eyes. "I'm seventy, and ain't starved to death never yet."
Cut in there an' ye'll see my footin'; foller it over t' th' next lake, then turn right t' th' nuth'ard. The's some meshes in there where th' deer's feedin'. I seen fifteen or twenty, but I didn't want 'em so I let 'em be." "An' could I make un now in a day?" "If ye walk sharp an' start early."
