I'm the chap that towed the Broadhorn up Salt River where the snags was so thick a fish couldn't swim without rubbin' his scales off. Cock a doodle doo! I'm the infant that refused his milk before his eyes was open an' called for a bottle o' rum. Talk about grinnin' the bark off a tree that ain't nothin'. One look o' mine would raise a blister on a bull's heel. Cock a doodle doo! Gol darn it!
"That's nothing," sez I; "if it wasn't for the cowards the' would be a heap o' vacant land in this country," sez I. "I thought you was my friend," sez she, takin' back the letter an' holdin' it open in her hand. "If Spider Kelley could read he would read it for me." "So would Hawkins, your pinto," sez I, grinnin'. "What you ought to do is to tell your Dad that you have the letter.
For the first time he experienced a thrill of cold fear and slowly retreated up the stairs before the hollow and, as it seemed, vindictive stare of the grinning skeleton." "I wonder wot he was grinnin' at?" said William. "But to his horror the door was shut, the panel had slid back. He had no means of opening it.
"Yes," says I, "considerin' your chronic ambition, that was once when you were out of luck. And the worst of it is that maybe she was only usin' you to practice on all along. Eh?" Perhaps it wasn't a consolin' thought to leave with Lester, but somehow I couldn't help grinnin' as I tossed it over. And me, I'm doping out no more advice to young ladies from Saskatoun or elsewhere.
That blamed grin of mine pursued her every minute. Course, she couldn't kick about it. That wouldn't do at all. She jest had to bear it without grinnin'. There wasn't anything to say. Finally, she got to stayin' away from the meetin's an' almost quit drivin' through the town. Everybody noticed the change in her. People said she was goin' crazy about her hack hair.
One of these blue-eyed, yaller-haired kind, see, with a voice like silk. Speakin' personal, I'm free to admit she's got me stopped." Buck drew so hard on the diminishing butt of his cigarette that he burned his fingers. "Can't do nothin' with her?" he queried. "What you grinnin' about?" said Purvis hotly. "D'you think you'd have any better luck with her?" Buck chuckled.
She raved a lot about that hair of yours, Jake." "You go on now, Smarty!" says Jaky boy, grinnin' expansive. "Think I'm goin' to wear duds like them?" "You do if you appear out again with me," says I. "So peel the butternut regalia and lemme see if I can harness you up in these." "Hee-haw!" remarks Uncle Jerry. "Let him fix you up real harnsome, Jake."
'I gave room to the man, an' he ran forward wid the Haymaker's Lift on his bay'nit an' swung a Paythan clear off his feet by the belly-band av the brute, an' the iron bruk at the lockin'-ring. "Tim Coulan'll slape easy to-night," sez he wid a grin; an' the next minut his head was in two halves and he wint down grinnin' by sections.
Now, it was this innocent joking on his part that started all Claude's trouble. Mrs. Smith called a couple of days later and had her joke with 'Cindy. "'Cindy, your cake's all dough." "Why, what's the matter now?" "Claude come along t'other day grinnin' from ear to ear, and some currant pie in his musstache. He had jest fixed it up with Nina.
"Suppose'we don't go into that," says Hartley. "As a matter of fact, I hung up the 'phone just as he was getting his second wind." "Then he didn't pull the 'bless you, my children, stuff, eh?" I suggests. "No," says Hartley, grinnin'. "Quite the contrary. Anyway, I knew what to expect from him. But say, Torchy, I did have a pretty vague notion of what it costs to run a family these days."
