"He sees me come along smartly with his brother's knife in my hand I wasn't thinking how it looked from his side of the fence, you know and jiminy, it nearly killed him! He stared like a crazed bullock and began to sweat and twitch all over, something amazing. I was so surprised, that I stopped to look at him. The drops were pouring over his eyebrows, down his beard, off his nose and he gurgled.
"What the devil am I lying like this for?" he thought. He exhorted himself to go on and say what he had to say like a man; but the other Red Saunders refused to do anything of the sort. He took the cup of hot water most abjectly and fled from the house. He had to shave then, and in his hurry and indignation he turned the operation into a clinic. "Oh Jiminy!

It was a wonder he did not lose his hold.
"I don't understand," said the leader as he mopped the blood trickling from the wound in his head with his handkerchief. "I'll never explain it to you," said the humorist. "Hang me, but I can't think." "Neither can I. My thoughts are wool-gathering, and no wonder, eh? By jiminy! what a settler I got, and I settled." "They were playing us."

They began to talk automobiles to all with whom they came in contact and soon picked up a great deal of information about the notables who were to take part in the races. "Say, Bruce," said Jiminy Gordon suddenly, "there's Dan Dacy. See him.
He knows I've been taking it easy so long I never could bring myself to take up the burden of active business again. Money! What does money mean if it can't buy happiness? Drat that devilish Skinner. I wish to jiminy he had the burden of my dollars " He paused, overcome by a sudden brilliant thought.
There was an outburst of applause form the others at a particularly brilliant shot below. "By George!" cried Westcott, "she's got him. It's Hermia's vantage and forty-love. O Reggie! A love game, by Jiminy! Hermia, you've won me a cool hundred." The game was over and the players shook hands before the net, Hermia laughing gaily, Armistead's eyes full of honest adoration.
