Yer see, this yer's all camp; thar ain't no fit place whar we kin hide the gurl, an' make her keep her mouth shet. Them blamed soldiers are a moosin' 'bout every whar, an' if she onct got talkin', our goose wud be cooked. Furst thing we got ter do is git her outer this camp." "Ternight, yer sed?" "'Bout midnight; yer'll go' hey?" "I reckon; yer got the money?"
I wud ha' rolled out his face wid the butt av my gun before permittin' av him to steal the gurl. Saints knew av he wud ha' married her, and av he didn't she wud be in great tormint, an' the divil av a 'scandal. But I niver sthruck, niver raised me hand on my shuperior orf'cer; an' that was a merricle now I come to considher it."
"'Gurl, he sez, 'did yez iver hear of Allison Lee? "An' all her seemed to lift. "'He is my father! she cried. 'I am Allie Lee! "Ah! thin that crowd wuz split up by a mon wot hurried through. He wuz a greaser one of thim dandies on dress an' diamonds a handsome, wicked-lookin' gambler. Seein' the gurl, he snarled, 'Go back there! an' he pointed. She niver even looked at him.
They spurred their mounts, wheeled, and galloped away. "Now, Nels, cut the gurl loose," ordered Monty. Nels ran forward, jerked the halter out of Sneed's hand, and pulled Bonita's horse in close to the porch. As he slit the rope which bound her she fell into his arms. "Hawe, git down!" went on Monty. "Face front an' stiff!"
"But whar did you get it, Josh Stebbins? Who gin it to you?" "You remember the man I brought over here last fall?" "Sartint I do. Young he wur Brig Young, I think, you called him." "The same." "In coorse, I remember him well enough; but I reckon our Marian do a leetle better. He tried to spark the gurl, an' made fine speeches to her; but she couldn't bar the sight o' him for all that. Ha! ha! ha.
After the expulsion of the master, the Twentieth School fell upon evil days, for the trustees decided that it would be better to try "gurl" teachers, as Hughie contemptuously called them; and this policy prevailed for two or three years, with the result that the big boys left the school, and with their departure the old heroic age passed away, to be succeeded by an age soft, law-abiding, and distinctly commercial.

'Most exthraordinary rezemblance, he kept sayin'. An' thin he dug into his vest fer a pocket-book, an' out of that he took a locket. He looked at it thin at the little gurl who looked so sad. Roight off he turned the color of a sheet. 'Gintlemen, look! he sez. They all looked, an' shure wuz sthruck with somethin'. "'Gintlemen, sez Lee, 'me wife left me years ago ran off West wid a gambler.
'Girl' was the limit: 'lady' would have been worse; 'woman' was good enough for her; but, 'gurl. It was the manner, the proprietary manner, you are one of us now: what had happened?

"She's young, I know; but now, if you see her walking about the dining-room, she's more like a queen than a gurl." Without inquiring into the nature of this distinction Dr. Nash got into his buggy. As he drove down the street under the arching elm trees he soon passed Eliza on her way to the Rexfords, and again he lifted his hat. Eliza, with grave propriety, returned the salutation.
