"I'd oughta wired 'em long ago, but you understand! Miss Montague ain't exactly Ma an' Allie's kind." "You're not ashamed of her?" "Hunh!" The tone of this exclamation was an eloquent denial. "Then let's have them come on and get acquainted. They'll probably take right to her."

Lemme tell yuh; never drive past a place that looks peaceful, and jump at the idea it is peaceful. They may be a woman behind them vines poisinin' 'er husband's father. How could them darn tourists tell'what was goin' on in Patmos? They seen the goats pertendin' to graze, an' keepin' an eye peeled till my back was turned, an' they thought it was nice to keep goats. Hunh!"

He believed her to be a model woman, and little Roscoe to be a model boy. "Why don't you try to be more like Roscoe Potts?" I heard him ask his son in a moment of reproof. My namesake took it meekly; but to me, privately, he said: "Hunh! I can lick Ginger Potts with one hand tied behind me!" "How do you know?" I asked sternly. He wriggled somewhat at this, but at length confided in me.

Casey pulled his lash off the nigh leader, yelled and charged straight down the road. Did they think they could honk him off the road? Hunh! Casey Ryan was still Casey Ryan. Never again would he turn out for man or devil. Wherefore Casey was presently extricating his leaders from the harness of his wheelers ten feet below the grade.

"Wonder what color her hair is, anyway," he observed inadvertently, before he was wide enough awake to put the seal of silence on his musings. "Hunh?"

As Alaire remained silent he let his eyes rove over her with a kind of angry appreciation. "You're pretty enough to stampede any man," he admitted. "Yes, and you've got money, too. I'll bet it's the Ranger. So, you've been having your fling while I was away. Hunh! We're tarred with the same stick." "You don't really believe that," she told him, sharply. "Why not? You've had enough opportunity.

The Briskow children possessed each other's fullest confidence, hence Ozark took the first occasion to show his gift to Allegheny, and to tell her in breathless excitement all about that wonderful afternoon. "He said he'd a mind to lick me, an' I bet he could 'a' done it, too," the boy concluded. "Lick you? Hunh!" "Oh, he's hard-boiled! That's why I like him.

I was the first man through Miles Canon. During the big rush in '98 I ran the rapids for a living. I got fifty dollars a trip, and it only took me three minutes by the watch. That was the only easy money I ever picked up.

"Hunh! You're a funny guy, aren't you? about as comical as a chloroform cone. You make me laugh, you do just like a broken leg. Well, I've been looking up some grub for Miss Evans, and I can't find any." "Can't find any?" "Nothing fit for her to eat.
