You should shleep, baby greenhorns...!" A large man with shovel teeth ambled over. Frank managed half to rise. He met the blow and gave some of it back. Ramos was doing likewise, gamely. Then Nelsen's head zeroed out again in a pyrotechnic burst... He awoke to almost absolute silence, and to the turning of the whole universe around him.
But the old pacer swerved not a line, and Travis, white and frightened now with a terrible, bitter fear that tightened around his heart and flashed in his eyes like the first swift crackle of lightning before the blow of thunder, brought his whip down on his own mare, welting her from withers to rump in a last desperate chance. Gamely she responded and forged ahead the old pacer was beaten!
We gained nothing, and had to give ground, but we succeeded in holding a semblance of order, so that the cattle did not break and scatter far and wide. The sun had by now well risen, and was beginning to shine hot. Brown Jug still ran gamely and displayed as much interest as ever, but he was evidently tiring. We were both glad to see Homer's grey showing in the fringe of mesquite.
"What's a silent partner?" Pee-wee demanded. "Oh, that's just the fellow that puts up the money and keeps in the background sort of, and nobody knows he's interested." "I'd rather be a noisy partner," Pee-wee said. "I wouldn't be silent for anybody, I wouldn't." Deadwood Gamely paused a moment, smiling. "No, but you could keep a secret, couldn't you?" he asked.
"Bluebell," the Irish mare, had struggled on gamely; but at the last she refused to leap, she stopped short, and her jockey was pitched forward into the water. A laugh arose even in the midst of the excitement; but it was speedily drowned in the cries of "The 'King' wins. No! No! 'Miracour! 'Vicket' beats. No! No! the 'King' the 'King's' got away!"
There appeared, however, to be no getting level with this animal of surprising fleetness of foot, that seemed to glide over the ground with perfect ease, and that responded gamely to every effort that he made. The group of lookers-on watched the more intently. Now the hare by a clever turn increased her lead; then once again the dog made good the ground lost.
Still, this was a safer topic than his previous conversation with Hussein-ul-Mulk, so he persevered gamely. They soon reached the quay. Sir Hubert became almost incoherent with agitation when they passed the Blue-Bell and came into full view of Edith, Jack, Fairholme and Daubeney, who happened to leave the hotel shortly before five o'clock in order to visit the yacht and secure a good cup of tea.
You talk a heap and mebbe I cut him off." "You cut him off and I'll cut your liver out, Li, you sabe?" grinned Adams, gamely. "Anyhow, it's blamed good of you to ride over here. I'll bet you're sore, eh?" Mrs. Van Zandt coming up the road with the tray in her arms met the men coming up from the corral.
Nevertheless, he spurred forward at a breakneck pace and his splendid horse, responding gamely, fairly flew over the ground, racing along mile after mile at killing speed in a lather of foam and sweat, until the battle field was reached just as the Union troops came reeling back, panic-stricken, under cover of a thin line of troops who had at last succeeded in making a stand.
And sure enough some fleet-limbed bay was drawing ahead of our beautiful brown in a way that left us little hope of ever getting in front again. Around the turn and into the stretch, nearer they raced in a cloud of dust. The leader was gaining at every jump, but Grady hung to second place. Taral now called upon Domino, and at once the colt responded gamely.
