It'll be Neale's whin I see him.... Durade jabbered fer help. But no wan come. Thot big trapper Slingerland stood there with two guns, an' shure he looked bad. Neale slung Durade around, spillin' some fellars who didn't dodge quick, an' thin he jerked him up backwards. "An' Durade come up with a long knife in the one hand he had free. "Neale yelled, 'Lee, take the gurl out!
"Then, Milt, will we go after Beasley?" queried Roy Beeman, significantly. Dale was silent and thoughtful. "Sufficient unto the day!" said John. "An' fellars, let's go to bed." They rolled out their tarpaulins, Dale sharing Roy's blankets, and soon were asleep, while the red embers slowly faded, and the great roar of wind died down, and the forest stillness set in.
"You'd both on ye average two decent looking fellars for whar Seth Stokes is too long, Sam Switcher arn't long enough; and whar Sam Switcher's got too much, Seth Stokes han't got nothing." A roar of laughter, in which both Seth and Sam joined, followed Isaac's closing remarks; for besides partaking of the ludicrous, none could deny that his description was correct.
Their hands were fairly cooked from the hot ropes' sizzling when the horses plunged. And at nine o'clock they were ready for the momentous twenty-five mile drive to Marco. "All ready for the parade!" yelled Blinky. "Go ahaid, you fellars. Open the gate, an' leave it fer me to close." Pan and the others were to ride in front, while Blinky drove the horses. The need for men was in front, not behind.
The hollow echoing along those underground caverns tended to make all noise unrecognizable. "Yust two of you fellars bettar come by me, an' gif a leeft," he ventured, doubtfully. Those nearer faces down the tunnel were turned toward the voice in sudden, bewildered surprise, the lights flickering as the heads uplifted. "Vas it you, Nels Swanson?" "Yas, I tank so; I yust want Peterson an' Ole.
So me 'n him an' the other fellars we've saved up all our propurty, for we're agoin' ter give Larks a stylish funeril an' here it is, mister. I told the kids ef there was more'n enough you's trow in a few greens, anyhow. Make up de order right away, mister, and give us our money's worf now, sure for Larks."
"And you have come to inform us that we must give up Melindy?" "Yes, sir, that is the hull thing in a few words," cried Mr. Spriggins very much elated, "Isn't it a wonderful gift you fellars have of speakin' right to the pint. By hokey, I'd give a good deal if I was a lawyer an honest, fair-square one like yerself, sir." "Thank you Mr. Spriggins," said the young man trying hard to look serious.
"Bo makes up to all the fellars," confessed Carmichael, hanging his head. "I took her to the dance last week over in the town-hall. Thet's the first time she'd gone anywhere with me. I shore was proud.... But thet dance was hell. Bo carried on somethin' turrible, an' I " "Tell me. What did she do?" demanded Helen, anxiously. "I'm responsible for her. I've got to see that she behaves."
He 's figurin' on two or three days' get-a-way, and so don't care a tinker's dam 'bout these yere marks. Once in the sand, an' thar won't be no trail anyhow. It's some kintry out thar, an' it would be like huntin' a needle in a haystack to try an' find them fellars after ter-night. This is my idea we'll just mosey along slow, savin' the hosses an' keeping back out o' sight till dark.
No deer! ... Reckon it'd be a good idee for us to slip round acrost this bench." "Wal, y'u fellars go, an' I'll watch heah," returned Colter. "Not much," said Somers, while Springer leered knowingly. Colter became incensed, but he did not give way to it. Pondering a moment, he finally turned to Ellen. "Y'u wait heah till I come back.
