I'm just tongue-tied.... Now, by Gawd, heah's to Louise Melliss!" "I drink to that," flashed Pan, as he drained his glass. The afternoon had waned. Matthews lay dead in the street. He lay in front of the Yellow Mine, from which he had been driven by men who would no longer stand the strain. The street was deserted except for that black figure, lying face down with a gun in his right hand.
Jean strode behind him, carrying his rifle and an ax. Silently the other men followed. Blue turned to the left and led through the field until he came within sight of a dark line of trees. "Thet's where the road turns off," he said to Jean. "An' heah's the back of Coleman's place.... Wal, Jean, good luck!"
This individual elbowed his way in and was seen to be scarcely more than a boy, almost pale beside those bronzed men, with a long, expressionless face, thin and sharp. "Knell, this heah's " Fletcher wheeled to the stranger. "What'd you call yourself?" "I'd hate to mention what I've been callin' myself lately." This sally fetched another laugh. The stranger appeared cool, careless, indifferent.
"Yo' can be sure that I'll do all I can," the Texan assured him. "Fo' yo' see, that's always been mah business. I'm just a soldier of misfohtune, goin' through life tryin' to do all I can fo' the weak and oppressed. I'll risk mah life fo' these people, and heah's mah hand on that!" The prospector groped for his hand, took it, and tried to smile.
"And are you sure it wasn't Snoop, Dinah?" "Shuah, Mr. Bobbsey. 'Cause why? 'Cause heah's Snoop now, right ober by Miss Dorothy." This was very true. The little seashore Cousin had been playing with the black cat. "Snap howls sometimes," said Freddie, who seemed to be trying to find some explanation of the queer noise.
Stannin' out dah foolin' 'long wid dat low trash, an' heah's de barber offn de "Gran' Turk" wants to conwerse wid you! My reference, a moment ago, to the fact that a pilot's peculiar official position placed him out of the reach of criticism or command, brings Stephen W naturally to my mind. He was a gifted pilot, a good fellow, a tireless talker, and had both wit and humor in him.
"Dad, where's my pack?" cried Jean. "These young Apaches are after my scalp." "Reckon the boys fetched it onto the porch," replied the rancher. Guy Isbel opened the door and went out. "By golly! heah's three packs," he called. "Which one do you want, Jean?" "It's a long, heavy bundle, all tied up," replied Jean.
Come, this heah's the safest and smartest way to fool Don Carlos." Madeline felt herself more forced than persuaded into acquiescence. She mounted the black and took up the bridle. In another moment she was guiding her horse off the trail in the tracks of Majesty. Florence led off at right angles, threading a slow passage through the mesquite.
These things I remember, and likewise sobbing myself to sleep in the four-poster. Often since I have wished that I had questioned Breed of many things on which I had no curiosity then, for he was my chief companion in the weeks that followed. He awoke me bright and early the next day. "Heah's some close o' Marse Nick's you kin wear, honey," he said. "Who is Master Nick?" I asked.
"Pard, heah's to the old Cimarron," said Blinky, as they drank again. Pan had no response. Memory of the Cimarron only guided his flying mind over the ranges to Las Animas. They drank and drank. Blinky's tongue grew looser. "Hold your tongue, damn you," said Pan. "Imposshiblity. Lesh have another." "One more then. You're drunk, cowboy." "Me drunk? No shir, pard.
