"What is it then? let me hear it."
"'Feel like makin' a little wager this A. M.? says Doc. "'What do you-all want to gamble at? says Wilkins. "'Oh, says Doc, 'I'm feelin' a heap careless about what I do gamble at. S'pose I goes you ten dollars's worth of grub the Lordsburg buckboard don't show up none to-day?

Al Auchincloss always was the whitest an' squarest man in this sheep country." Beasley gave Dale a fleeting, dark glance.

I suppose she never had a thimble on her finger in her life, but she'll know the feelin' o' one before she's been here many days. I've bought a piece of unbleached muslin and a piece o' brown gingham for her to make up; that'll keep her busy.

Pipe right there on the thwart." "No, thank you, sir." It was some time before anything more was said. Josiah was gazing at the yellow sand-cliffs that, on every tack, grew nearer.
