An orchestra was playing something with a good deal of zip to it, and under happier conditions I dare say my feet would have started twitching in time to the melody. But I had sterner work before me than to stand hoofing it by myself on gravel drives. I wanted that back-door key, and I wanted it instanter. Scanning the throng within, I found it difficult for a while to spot Seppings.
If you don't have that fence repaired before then, you drift with them, hoofing it!" In the allotted time they repaired the fence, working with breathless energy, while Lawler stood near, the menacing gun in hand, a saturnine smile wreathing his face. When the herd reached the fence there was no break in it.
"Been hoofing it sence five o'clock this morning over from Philbrook's preserve and I'm too tuckered out to make Fairview." "Certainly you can stay with us," answered Snap. "Had any luck?" "A few rabbits and some ducks, that's all. Gee shoo! Do you mean to say you got them deer an' that buck to-day?" "We did." "Gosh all hemlock! No wonder a feller like me can't get nuthin!
Hoofing it straight there would be only a matter of five blocks difference, and it would at least spare him the embarrassment of taking the tube. It was a foolish thing to do, perhaps, but once The Guesser had set his mind on something, it took a lot more than a long walk to dissuade him from his purpose.
Stallings said it was nearly a mile past the swamp; and you see we've just got to the worst of that." "All right, then; keep hoofing it, pard. We've just made up our minds that we're going to see George at home, and nothing ain't going to stop us. Get that?" declared Thad. "Just what I say. Come on again, if you've caught your wind." Again they pushed on.
And behold it cometh to pass that when the gay young man doth stagger down the door-steps of her dear father's domicile he knoweth not whether he is hoofing it to Klondyke or riding an erratic mustang into Mexico. He is drunken with the sweetness of it all and glad of it. And she?
By George, after they'd been turned out on the range again, I was riding down a canyon about a couple of miles from the ranch, and who should I see but those two old pals, hoofing it together as chummy as two old men walking in the park." "Well, how's the chow?" Johnson's voice came from the doorway. "Not much left, I should say, judging from the happy faces I see around me."
"May be an hour, but more likely it will be six or eight," said one of the brakemen to Tom. "This section of the road is the worst managed of the lot." "And how far is it to Ashton?" asked Dick. "About twelve miles by the railroad." "Then walking is out of the question," came from Sam. "I shouldn't mind hoofing it if it was two or three."
From Coon Creek to Fort Larned it was thirty-five miles, and I finally concluded that my prospects were good for "hoofing" the whole distance. We that is to say, the confounded mule and myself were making pretty good time. There was nothing to hold the mule, and I was all the time trying to catch him which urged him on.
Overlanders, who had tramped across the breadth of a continent, did not relish the prospect, as one Yankee miner described it, of 'hoofing it five hundred miles farther. Some of the disappointed Overlanders floated on down to Alexandria, where they sold their rafts and took jobs on the government road which was being constructed along the canyon.
