"Bart!" came the command again. "Heel!" The dog obeyed with a slinking swiftness; Jerry Strann put up his gun and smiled. "I don't take a start on no man," he announced quite pleasantly. "I don't need to. But you yaller hearted houn' get out from between. When I make my draw I'm goin' to kill that damn wolf."
It cleared his brain, and his nerves ceased jumping. "Keep off," he said. "I've no wish to harm you." "You houn' dog!" yelled Buck, and leaped in with a driving fist. It bounced off the shoulder of Andrew. At the same time he saw those banked heads at the windows of the saloon, and knew it was a trap for him.
But, yo'-all see, th' ole Mahstah Cunnel say when he go off to th' wah, 'Clem, yo' black houn', ef Ah doan' eveh come back, these yeh ladies is lef in yo' pussenal chahge. Yo' unde'stan' that?
"Well, what do you think of it?" inquired the cool, mocking, insinuating voice of Butler. "I think you're a thief and a liar!" shouted Haskins, leaping up. "A black-hearted houn'!" Butler's smile maddened him; with a sudden leap he caught a fork in his hands, and whirled it in the air.
Mr Thornycroft, judgin' by the looks of that houn', you ain't give him enough to eat to keep a cat alive an' a cat we all know, don't eat much, just messes over her vittles. You condemned that po' beast, for no fault of his own, to the life of a felon. A houn' that ain't happy at best, he's melancholy; an' a houn' that ain't allowed to run free is of all critters the wretchedest.
If you will give up that houn' Buck to me, say, or to anybody I decide will be kind to him I will let the matter drop. If you will go home like a peaceable citizen, you won't hear no more about it from me; but if you don't " "Git out of my way!" cried Old Man Thornycroft. "All of you! I'm goin' I'm goin'!" "Hold on!" said Mr. Kirby, when he had got almost to the door.
Once more they were abreast of the "houn' dogs," and once more the tried and untried of the same Kennel raced side by side, with even chances of victory. Then again came the Luck of the Trail; and Fate that had sent dead birds as a temptation now sent a live cat as an inspiration.
He had missed the trail from the Salton place to the Bald-eagle half a dozen times that day, and that had not improved his bitter mood. "You been gone long enough," growled Silent. "Sit down an' chow an' tell us what you know." "I don't eat with no damned traitors," said Purvis savagely. "Stan' up an' tell us that you're a double crossin' houn', Buck Daniels!"
"One minute, gentlemen," said Mr. Kirby, rising from the table and gathering his papers and records together. "Just one more thing: If anybody here has any evidence, or knows of any, tendin' to show that this boy Davy Allen is not the proper person to turn over a houn' dog to, I hope he will speak up." He waited a moment.
The Chinese town forms, a rectangular parallelogram, divided north and south by the Grand Avenue leading from the Houn Ting gate to the Tien gate, and crossed east and west by the Avenue Cha-Coua, which runs from the gate of that name to the Cpuan-Tsa gate.
