"He said hic! that if you didn't know that without hic! bein' told, you wasn't no friend of his'n, an' hic! you could go to hell." "Shut up, you drunken fool!" Lawson snapped out. "Jensen and his herder were shot in the back, they say. That clears Santry," Wade declared, and sat for some moments in deep thought, while the men waited as patiently as they could. "Lawson," he said, at last.

He got his'n in a lion's cage where he worked. There was nothing slow about his end." She looked up for his approval. "For de Lord's sake!" Mandy groaned as the wonder of the child's conversation grew upon her.
