"My mind, however," said he, "is what's troublin' me. There's a battle goin' on within me.

"I was goin' to say that I always make it a rule never to repeat anything that my children say, for I have often had fellers bore me with the smart sayin's of their children and I know that most every man thinks that his children are the brightest in the country and all that but the other night as my wife was gettin' Ab ready for bed he looked up "

To-morrow to-morrow was as much to her here as it would be to this man before her, or the man he would save at Bindon. "What do you want?" she asked, hardening her heart. "Can't you see? I want you to hide me here till to-night. There's a full moon, an' it would be as plain goin' as by day.

I think she ought to be soundly trounced, and my guess is she's goin' to be. Something tells me this New Dawn ain't goin' to save her from her come-uppance.

His voice sounded as if moving were a pleasurable circumstance that occurred in his life regularly once a month. "I'd like you to begin to pack up these things, please, to-morrow."
