"Oh! don't you try it, Frances!" cried one nervous girl. "That pony looks wicked!" "Let her break her neck, if she wants to make a fool of herself!" snapped Sue, sotto voce. Nobody heard her. All were watching too closely the range girl approach the buckskin pony. She had accepted Fred's lariat and the coil of it began to whirl about her head. "There it goes!" cried Tom Gallup.
"Oh, Ephie, Ephie!" he squawked, rushing forward and embracing Gallup, who was nearly upset by this impetuosity. "You vos so glad to see me dot I coot almost cry right avay alretty quick now!" "Waal, gol dern my punkins!" exploded Ephraim. "It sartinly is old Hans!" "Oldt Hans? Oldt Hans?" yelled Dunnerwurst indignantly. "Who vos you callin' oldt Hans mit such carelessness? Py Chiminy!
If your team of Rovers will come here and meet us on my field, we'll give you a game to-morrow, I think. What do you say, boys?" "You pet my life ve vill!" shouted Dunnerwurst. "By gum, that'll suit me!" came from Gallup. "I'm with you, Merry!" said Carson. "You know you can depend on me!" rumbled Browning. "Begorra, it will suit me clane down to the ground!" came from Mulloy.
There was a strip of woods close by, however, and the boys succeeded in vanishing into this cover one by one, after which they soon hastened to the spot where the encounter between Dunnerwust and Gallup was to take place. The seconds took good care to have the two principals on hand, and Barney Mulloy was there with the old horse-pistols, which he kept carefully concealed.
For several days following the discovery in the "Globe paper" of the notice about the Curlew, Louise Grayling and Cap'n Amazon lived a most intimate existence. She would not allow Betty Gallup to criticise the captain even slightly within her hearing. They received news from New York which was no news at all. The Boston Chamber of Commerce had heard no further word of the schooner.
On the east, the plateau extends to the Echo Cliffs beyond Marble Canyon, and as far as the ridge of the Continental Divide, where the Santa Fe crosses the Zuni Mountains, east of Gallup, N. M. Present Conditions. With this general view of the great plateau in our mind's eye, we are prepared to examine present conditions at any given spot in the Canyon.
Fortunately most of the decisions against the visitors were not close, and there were few excuses for kicks had McCann and the men been inclined to keep it up. Ephraim Gallup could not throw off his feeling of anxiety and nervousness, and he was thankful as the innings passed and no opportunity came for him to display what he could do in the field. At bat he was a failure.
Dan Happersett was given five vaqueros and stood the first watch or until one A.M. Glenn Gallup and myself took the remainder of the men and stood guard until morning. When Happersett called our guard an hour after midnight, he said to Gallup and me as we were pulling on our boots: "About a dozen big steers haven't laid down. There's only one of them that has given any trouble.
Gallup overtook Frank ere the excited crowd that rushed onto the field could reach Merry. "It's ten thousand for the consumptives' home at Wellsburg, by ginger!" laughed Ephraim. "Remember your promise, Gallup," said Frank, as he seized the Vermonter's hand. "You'll never bet again." "Never again!" vowed Ephraim.
"Them contraptions," Cap'n Amazon broke off in his ditty to say, "go past so swift that you can't tell rightly whether they got anybody to the helm or not. Land sakes, here comes another! They're getting as common as sandfleas on Horseneck Bar, and Washy Gallup says that's a-plenty." He did not need to come to the door to make this discovery of the approach of the second machine.
