Now, in the cow country the drawing of a gun is one and the same movement with the firing of it, and why Cinnabar Joe hesitated he did not know. Purdy laughed: "Put her down, Cinnabar. Yeh won't shoot, now. Yeh see, I kind of figgered yeh might be sort o' riled up, so I left my gun in my slicker. Shootin' a unarmed man don't git yeh nothin' but a chanct to stretch a rope."
"The sheriff's comin'. That woman's sent for him. I've figgered out he can't get along till 'bout to-morrow night, or the next mornin'. Anyway it don't do to reckon close on how quick a sheriff can git doin'." The Padre's smile had died out of his eyes. He sighed. "The sheriff's coming, eh?" Then he went on after a pause. "But these stores I don't see "
"I've settled up your father's estate, Benjamin," said Job Stanton. "You'll find it all figgered out on this piece of paper. There was that two-acre piece up at Rockville brought seventy-five dollars, the medder fetched a hundred and fifty, the two cows " "How much does it all come to, Uncle Job?" interrupted Ben, who was impatient of details.
But it was the same grin. Gee, how that feller grins." "What did he say?" Kars persisted. "He'd do all he knew to get the kid away. But he guessed he'd be up against it. He guessed Alec had mighty little use for him, and you can't blame the kid when you think of that grin. But he figgered to do his best anyway.
Bobbs sat listening impassively, moving his toothpick up and down from one side to the other of his small, thin-lipped mouth. At last he nodded. "Well, I guess that's about the way of it. I didn't exactly understand the women's clothes business, damn' fool disguise, but we figgered it might pop into the head of a' edjucated nigger." He sucked his teeth, reflectively.
We figgered they was on the dodge and hard pressed, but we couldn't do nothing about it. You see, it's only about twenty- three miles to the Line up Forty Mile. Down the Yukon it's forty. They been gone 'most two hours, now." "What do you want 'em for?" another bystander inquired.
"But some of these are painted," said the boy, taking up an egg with a pattern of flowers on it. "No, they ain't; they're jest colored in a dye-pot. Them that looks as if they was painted were tied up in a bit of figgered calico and b'iled, and when they come out of the b'iling they took the calico off, and there was the figgers set on the eggs. See?"
"Just below one almost against the casing." "Easy sailin'. He figgered out that some time durin' th' night you an' her would set in that window an' there you are. See? But I wonder w'at he'll say to th' juke to-morrow?" "I hate to give this job up," growled Phil. "But I must get back to the hotel. The villain cut me with a knife."
He never took no shine to me I judge he figgered I hadn't no business sharin' Abner's property and I never took to him, much. "Emeline noticed Bennie D. and me wa'n't fallin' on each other's necks any to speak of, and it troubled her. She blamed me for it. Said Bennie was a genius, and geniuses had sensitive natures and had to be treated with consideration and different from other folks.
From the looks of the streets of Onabasha, you wouldn't think a woman 'ud had a baby to tend, a dinner pot a-bilin', or a bakin' of bread sence the flood. And the country is jest as bad as the city. We're a apin' them to beat the monkeys at a show. I hardly got a neighbour that ain't got figgered Brissels carpet, a furnace, a windmill, a pianny, and her own horse and buggy.
