"And if any gents on hossback should drop in on you and ask questions just remember that what they dunno won't hurt 'em." Jack Richie nodded understandingly. "Trust me," he said. "As I see it, Miss Dale and you come in from the north, and " "Only me you ain't seen any Miss Dale and I only stopped long enough to borrow a fresh hoss and then rode away south."
Thinks I, you poor cuss, you must 'a' tried to stop that feller on hossback an' he plunked you. That accounted fer the second shot. But while I wuz tryin' to lift him up an' git somethin' out'n him about the matter, I sees his boss standin' in the road a couple o' rods away.
Well, sir, it started him getting well, which he done. Close to the ground that's where the medicine in the air stays. Try a little hossback riding now. There's a gentle pony " "What've I done to yer?" screamed McGuire. "Did I ever doublecross yer? Did I ask you to bring me here? Drive me out to your camps if you wanter; or stick a knife in me and save trouble. Ride! I can't lift my feet.
Johnny Dear, you must be very kind to your attopted father, and you, Glory Anna, must lov your kind Jimmy Carter verry mutch for taking you hossback so offen. I has been buggy ridin' with an orficer who has killed injuns real! I am comin' back soon with grate affeckshun, so luke out and mind." But it was three years before she returned, and this was her last and only letter.
If he got his just dues, we oughter lay for him some night and pick him off as he is ridin' hossback." But a good thick coat of tar and feathers will become his style of beauty fust-rate; and if we uns ride him on a rail, he will dance a jig with his feet in de air and will look more cute than ary Injun you uns ever see daubed with his war paint and feathers."
"I am going myself." "Hossback ur buggy?" "Buggy." Westerfelt turned suddenly and walked back towards the hotel. He had decided to invite Harriet Floyd to go to camp-meeting with him, let the consequences be what they might. He wanted to see her, and nothing should prevent it not even Mrs. Dawson's presence in the village nor her threats.
My father and the innkeeper and D'ri and I sat awhile, smoking, in the warm glow of the bonfire. "You 're a long-headed man," said I, turning to my comrade. "Kind o' thought they'd be trouble," said D'ri. "So I tuk 'n ast yer father t' come over hossback with hef a dozen good men. They got three more et the tavern here, an' lay off 'n thet air bateau, waitin' fer the moosecall.
"I never had believed in harming sheep men. I see one, one day, reading a Latin grammar on hossback, and I never touched him! They never irritated me like they do most cowmen. You wouldn't go to work now, and impair and disfigure snoozers, would you, that eat on tables and wear little shoes and speak to you on subjects?
"Well, I should say there was something to stop for," answered Shorty, as they arrived where they could see, and found the whole country in front swarming with rebel cavalry as far as their eyes could reach. "Great Scott," muttered Si, with troubled face, for the sight was appalling. "Is the whole Confederacy out there on hossback?"
You're in much more danger o' bein' struck by lightnin' than of bein' hit by a rebel on hossback. Go off and go to sleep, now, and don't ask me no more questions." "Can't I ask you just one?" pleaded Pete. "Yes, just one." "If we form a holler square agin cavalry will I be in the holler, or up on the banks?"
