"Moore's is about ruined already, I've a hunch." "You can get hunches you never dreamed of, Belllounds, old as you are. An' I'll give you one presently.... But we drift off. Can't you keep cool?" "Cool! With you rantin' hell-bent for election? Haw! Raw!... Wade, you're locoed. You always struck me queer.... An' if you'll excuse me, I'm gettin' tired of this talk. We're as far apart as the poles.
Then when th' affair comes off yu'll generally find they's been settin' on a door-knob." "Did yu ever see a hen leave th' walks of peace an' bugs an' rustle hell-bent across th' trail plumb in front of a cayuse?" Asked Buck. "They'll leave off rustlin' grub an' become candidates for th' graveyard just for cussedness. Well, a whole lot of men are th' same way.
Smoke was permitted to question the witnesses, and he was in the middle of the cross-examination of Harding when from without came the whining of dogs in harness, and the grind and churn of sled-runners. Somebody near the door peeped out. "It's Sam an' his pardner an' a dog-team hell-bent down the trail for Stewart River," the man reported.
"Th' last head th' last hoof run off last night as we was comin' in with 'em a leetle mite late. Had ben up Black Coulee way, an' it got dark on us. Just as we got abreast o' th' mouth of th' Coulee, where th' poplars grow, three men come a-boilin' out. They was on fast horses o' course an' right into th' bunch they went, hell-bent. Stampeded the hull lot.
"Jorth wouldn't do such a hell-bent trick." "It's shore done." "Wal, mebbe the hogs won't find Guy an' Jacobs," returned Blaisdell, weakly. Plain it was that he only hoped for such a contingency and certainly doubted it. "Look!" cried Esther Isbel, piercingly. "They're workin' straight up the pasture!" Indeed, to Jean it appeared to be the fatal truth. He looked blankly, feeling a little sick.
A few months before he had been captured and partly tamed. But he was hard-mouthed, and stiff-necked and hell-bent on having his own way about things. I didn't know all that when I saw him this Christmas Day. To me he was perfect. He was round and fat, shiny black, with a white star in his forehead, and four white feet. One eye was blue, and the other one the nicest, softest, kindest brown!
"'I ain't none shore, goes on Billy, as he relates about it to me, 'but I'd stood sech egreegious plays, chargin' it general to 'Doby's gettin' locoed an' mushy; but when this yere ingrate ends his war- song, what do you-all reckon now he does? Turns in an' begins 'pologizin' for me downin' her dad. Which the old hold-up is on the mule an' goin' hell-bent when I curls him up.
I'll hide and I'll watch.... But, Columbine Belllounds, if he ever corners me again " "Why, you'll leave him to Hell-Bent Wade," interrupted the hunter, and he looked up from where he knelt, fixing those great, inscrutable eyes upon the cowboy. Columbine saw something beyond his face, deeper than the gloom, a passion and a spirit that drew her like a magnet.
But I bet you the drinks, Smoke, if you an' me flop around the corner quick, like we was goin' somewheres, an' then turn back from around the next corner, that we run into him a-hikin' hell-bent." They tried the trick, and, doubling back around the second corner, encountered Saltman swinging a long trail-stride in pursuit. "Hello, Bill," Smoke greeted. "Which way?" "Hello.
"His folks," he said in a level voice, "won't skeercely listen ter no reason.... They'll be hell-bent on makin' somebody pay.... They'll plum hev ter hang SOME person, an' hit kain't be you." The woman only shuddered and twisted spasmodically as she lay there while her brother went doggedly on: "Hit kain't be you ... with yore baby ter be borned, Sally.
