Gallup or human sacrifice; but he cannot choose to fail because he loves success. When the test of triumph is men's test of everything, they never endure long enough to triumph at all. As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is a mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength at all.
The line fled out of the box with a speed that made it smoke. But the shot fell short. "'Tis too much wind, skipper," squealed Washy Gallup. "You be a-shootin' into the wind's eye. An' she's risin' ev'ry minute." His only answer was a black look from Cap'n Trainor. The latter loaded the gun again, and yet again. The last time he waited for every one to get well back before he fired the cannon.
"That's why I think I don't have to work, dad," said Lawford coolly. Betty Gallup, clothed as usual in her man's hat and worn pea-coat, but likewise on this occasion with mystery, seized Louise by the hand the instant she appeared and drew her into the kitchen, shutting the door between that and the living-room. "What is the matter?" the girl asked.
"Will you fight if he agrees to meet you?" "Yaw." "All right. There can't be any backing out now, understand that. You are in for a fight, if Gallup doesn't apologize." "Yaw; but you mighd influence him to abologize uf you couldt, ain'd id?" "It would not be proper to bring any undue influence to bear on him. I shall carry your challenge to him immediately."
"You'd be steppin' square on Bud's soul if you was to josh him about that piano," said Lorry. "I wouldn't. But thank you just the same. You have a neat place here, Adams." "When you say 'neat' you say it all." "I detest a fussy camp. One gets enough of that sort of thing in town. Is that a Gallup saddle or a Frazier?" "Frazier." "I used a Heiser when I was in Mexico. They're all good."
It was unlighted at night, for the last street lamp had been fixed by the town fathers at the Mariner's Chapel, as though they said to all mundane illumination as did King Canute to the sea, "Thus far shalt thou come and no farther." Betty Gallup came cross lots each day to "rid up" Mr. Silt's living-room, which was behind the store, the chambers being overhead.
Uf I shoose mein second, I dakes Vrankie Merrivell alretty!" For all that he had serious work on hand, Frank was ready for a frolic, and he instantly said: "I will carry your challenge, Hans. You may depend on me." "All righd, Vrankie, my poy; led her go." "You wish me to hunt up Ephraim Gallup, and demand an apology or a fight?" "Yaw." "And you really mean it?" "Yaw."
"Do you mean to do away with Cap'n Abe? I fear you are quite as wicked as Betty Gallup believes you to be and Aunt Euphemia." He grinned broadly once more. "I got Cap'n Abe's will filed away already if somethin' should happen," said the old intriguer. "Everything's fixed, Niece Louise." "I'll help you," she declared, and gave him her hand a second time.
Thot he's done in Mexico." "And when yeou git through lookin' at him," suggested Gallup, "yeou might cast an eye round in my direction. Me and Barney have been partners, and, by jinks! I've cleaned up ten thousand, too." For a moment Carker seemed a bit staggered, but he quickly recovered. "What's ten thousand in these days?
"You picked up that expression from Tom Gallup." "That's the slangy boy yes," admitted the old ranchman, with a broad smile. "But some of his slang just hits things off right. Some of those girls think you're 'country, I know. We'll show them!" Frances sighed. She knew it meant that she must dress the part of a barbarian princess to please her father. But she made no objection.
