After they were comfortably seated Blair went on: "Do you know, Dare, I don't miss my leg so much when I'm crutching around. But when I try to sit down or get up! By heck, sometimes I forget it's gone. And sometimes I want to scratch my lost foot. Isn't that hell?" "I'll say so, Buddy," returned Lane, with a laugh. "Read this," said Blair, taking a paper from his pocket, and indicating a column.
I see 'Blake' printed in the corner. Didn't your father have an uncle or somebody, who was steward on the estate of a Scotch Laird of some renown?" "Heck, mon!" cried Momsey, with her usual gaiety, and throwing off the cloud of gloom that had momentarily subdued her spirit. "Ye air a wise cheil.
Coming out of the bush on two wheels, she sent a shower of gravel flying as she rushed madly down the road. Quick as they were, the quarry had been quicker. As they rounded a corner, they caught the red gleam of a tail-light disappearing at the next turn. "Heck!" said Curlie, then, "Let her out! Show him some speed." The motor of the Humming Bird sang joyously.
When I saw the dark outline of the leech of the mainsail waver for an instant, flap once or twice, and then suddenly collapse, I knew what was coming, and shouting at the top of my voice, "Look out Heck! She'll jibe!" I instinctively threw myself into the bottom of the boat to escape the boom.
"I know you're not," Old Heck interrupted, "and that's the reason I tore up that bill of sale!" "Old Heck," Dorsey said, his voice trembling, "you're white! I'd like to shake " The rival cattlemen gripped hands and the racing feud between the Quarter Circle KT and the Y-Bar was ended.

He struck another match and looked into the cabin to make certain that no member of the barge-crew slept there. Finding no one, he went into the engine-room and opened the sea-cock. Then he lifted up a floor-board, looked into the bilge, saw that the water therein was rising, and murmured, "Bully by heck!"
His sole ambition in life is to become politely pickled and fall asleep draped over a gold chair in the drawing room when there's high-class company present. For that reason the Frothinghams on state occasions put the skids under Uncle Heck and run him off stage till after the final curtain.
The woman and girl started toward them. Fascinated, the cow-men watched them approach. "My Gawd!" Old Heck hoarsely whispered, "that's them!" "Let's go!" Skinny exclaimed, sweat starting in unheeded beads on his forehead. "Good lord, let's get in the car and go while we got a chance!" Old Heck made a move as if to comply, then stopped. "Can't now," he said gloomily, "it's too late!"
There was a warning shout from Beamish, instantly muffled, a tramp of feet, a pistol shot, and sounds of a violent struggle. For a moment there was silence in the cabin, the men gazing at each other with consternation on their faces. Then Bulla yelled: "Copped, by heck!" and with an agility hardly credible in a man of his years, whipped out a revolver, and sprang out of the cabin.
