I was robbed of every cent of money, when I met a good friend, who bought this business for me." "Does it pay?" asked the other eagerly. "Yes, it pays," said Joe cautiously. "How much do you make, say, in a week?" asked Hogan, leaning his elbows on the counter and looking up in Joe's face. "Really, Mr. Hogan," said Joe, "I don't feel called upon to tell my business to others."
"One of Lord Middleton's officers hath done a man to death not half an hour agone; he is an Irishman Captain Hogan by name." "Hogan Hogan?" repeated Crispin, after the manner of one who fumbles in his memory. "Ah, yes an Irishman with a grey head and a hot temper. And he is dead, you say?" "Nay, he has done the killing." "That I can better understand. 'Tis not the first time, I'll be sworn."
"So the red man is passing. Tribes once powerful have died in the life of Nas Ta Bega. The curse of the white man is already heavy upon my race in the south. Here in the north, in the wildest corner of the desert, chased here by the great soldier, Carson, the Navajo has made his last stand. "Bi Nai, you have seen the shadow in the hogan of Hosteen Doetin.
And so with Hogan, lantern bearing, mother and daughter had followed the sergeant's wife across the broad, snow-covered parade; had passed without comment, though each was thinking of the new inmate, the brightly-lighted hospital building on the edge of the plateau, and descended the winding pathway to the humble quarters of the married soldiers, nestling in the sheltered flats between the garrison proper and the bold bluffs that again close bordered the rushing stream.

The night was dark, for there was no moon. Suddenly he felt himself seized in a tight grip, while a low, stern voice in his ear demanded: "Your money, and be quick about it!"
They happened very suddenly, too: Clancy and Wynn sprang toward Katz at the same time Clancy for the satchel and Wynn for the revolver. The work of both was excellent, for each got what he went after. The approaching boat, by that time, was close alongside. In another moment, Hogan and Wynn would be supplied with reenforcements. "Give me that!" yelled Katz, jumping toward Clancy.
Smith picked out a photograph and said it was Tracy and that picture resembles Tracy about as much as I do some of you jurors. Bridge and Smith say that Tracy fired three shots, and Hogan says he fired only one. And you know, ladies and gentlemen, that Hogan did not see this man at all. You know that he did not even see the window at which he pretends this man was sitting when the shot was fired.
Coppinger," Father Hogan resumed, "I'm told only told, mind you that the Major had Mount Music and the demesne advertised on the English papers " "Good God!" exclaimed Larry, startled out of his sulk; "to sell?" Father David, like other gentlemen of his age and cloth, had the Baboo's predilection for a well-worn quotation. "As to that I cannot say," he said portentously.
I am here, sir, as Harry Hogan, a sometime dissolute follower of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Charles Stuart; an erstwhile besotted, blinded soldier in the army of the Amalekite, a whilom erring malignant, but converted by a crowning mercy into a zealous, faithful servant of Israel. There were vouchsafings and upliftings, and the devil knows what else, when this stray lamb was gathered to the fold."
