Ye got to know how to offset the wobble. They didn't skeer me. I went an' hauled that runt out o' the water an' with him under my right arm an' the two rifles under the left un I started treadin' logs headin' fer the north shore. They quit shootin' but come on a'ter me pell-mell.
Anyway, theah warn't much left of our old outfit, an' this heah Forrest is headin' up a sassy bunch. So I'm glad you did find you a general to sling some weight an' git us into his scouts jus' 'cause he knew your grandpappy. Kaintucks stick together...." There was a second of silence through which they could both hear the faint sounds of life from the stockade.
Why, a perfect stranger would have trusted Slocum with his last plug of tobacoo, and like as not he'd have gotten part of it back. Well, as I said, I was headin' for warmer weather, but I got overtook an' had about given up all hope when I noticed the smell of smoke in the air.
"What do you mean?" asked Bud. "Is Dad going to take a vacation? If he does " "Don't worry, son! Don't worry!" laughed Slim, as he ignited a match by the simple process of scratching the head with his thumb nail. "Cattle will have to fetch a heap sight more'n they do now when he takes a few days off," declared the foreman. "What I meant was that some tenderfeet individuals are headin' "
If so, guess I'm fightin' editor. How?" His eyes were on Sunny Oak. And that individual's unwashed face broadened into a cheerful grin. "Fightin' don't come under the headin' of work proper," he said. "Guess I'm in." Bill turned on Sandy. "You ain't got the modest beauty o' the vi'let," he said, with saturnine levity. "How you feelin'?" "Sure good," exclaimed the widower.
Wheeling sharply round, to ascertain the meaning of this strange phenomenon, I heard the helmsman ejaculate, through the open window of the wheel- house: "Gosh! that's a big 'un, and no mistake; the biggest I ever seen; and," on a note of sudden alarm "it ain't goin' to fall so very far away from us, neither! D'ye see that big fireball, sir, headin' this way?"
It was during the flickering of one of these somewhat prolonged gleams that the lookout on the forecastle-head reported: "A small sail, three points on the weather-bow, headin' to the east'ard, close under the land."
Instead of going over the river in my mind, as was my duty, I threw business aside for pleasure, and killed Brown. He gave up trying to please Brown, and was even willing to stir him up upon occasion. One day when the cub was at the wheel his chief noticed that the course seemed peculiar. "Here! Where you headin' for now?" he yelled. "What in the nation you steerin' at, anyway? Blamed numskull!"
Singleton's eyes were gleaming with knowledge. He was breathing fast. "I met the boys, headin' for the Two Diamond," he said. "They tell me Lawler downed Link an' Givens an' that Lawler caught 'em cuttin' the fence. An' Colter says he was ridin' with you an' that you was followin' them tracks that led to town from that Circle L line cabin. Well, that was a hot trail, Warden.
I see you are tired of Dyce's jokes, and you mean bizzness; and I don't intend to consume no more of your valuable solicitous time. Dyce, fetch me that plank bottom cher to stand on." "Fetch it yourself. Paddling your own canoe, means headin' for the mill dam."
