But a man's young only once, and that's a short time and he's old for years and years and years, Dozier." He added, for fear that he might have depressed his guest, "But me and Jud team it, you see. I'm extra old and Jud's extra young so we kind of hit an average." He touched the shoulder of the boy and there was a flash of eyes between them, the flicker of a smile. Hal Dozier drew a breath.
It seemed, too, that Malan squeezed as he lifted, and that Jud's shoulder turned a little, as though he wished to brace it against the clubfoot's breast, or was troubled by the squeezing. Malan bent slowly backward, and Jud's heels began to rise out of the dust. Then, as though a crushing weight descended suddenly through his shoulder, Jud threw himself heavily against Malan, and the two fell.
I was in the kitchen this morning when the grocer brought our order, and after he was gone, Gussie showed me a sack of candy he had slipped in for you, because you are so kind to his little girl at school. I don't need Jud's words to tell me how the horses and other animals on the place love you. And why? Because you love them and never hurt them."
And Jud's dead. Even Wilkins knows that." She turned on him angrily. "You haven't a heart, have you? You're glad he's dead." "Not at all. As long as he kept under cover he was all right. But if he is, I don't see why you should fool yourself into thinking you're sorry. It's the best solution to a number of things." "What do you suppose brought Jean Melis here?" "What?
During the progress of Jud's story he had been slowly but deftly combining certain portions of the contents of his sacks and cans. Toward the close of it he set before me the finished product a pair of red-hot, rich-hued pancakes on a tin plate. From some secret hoarding he also brought a lump of excellent butter and a bottle of golden syrup. "How long ago did these things happen?" I asked him.
Almost as he left the pavement the blow fell, and Denny lay still a crumpled, pitiful heap in the dirt. Jud, flushed with this second triumph, turned to face the approaching stranger. "Come on, you pink-eyed dude! I've got some fer you too. Come git your medicine, you " Dan was coming coming so quickly that Jud's curses had not left his lips when the big fellow reached him.
To the poor, ignorant ones around him he was the mouth-piece of the mill, and they feared him even more than they did Kingsley himself, Kingsley with his ironical ways and lilting eye-glasses. With them Jud's nod alone was sufficient. They were still grouped around the office awaiting their turn. In the faces of some were shrewdness, cunning, hypocrisy.
"Why, it's swallowed up already in the night mist; I can just make out that old cedar that stands on top of the little hill," came Jud's reply. "Good. Then we'll have an easy time slipping back, I reckon," said Paul. "Going all the way over to the shore; are you?" asked the other. "Might as well; though we'll have to feel our way.
"That's so, you said only half were frauds. Well, I guess it's the fraud half that come here to beg of us. Gussie is tired of feeding them, Jud's getting ugly, and if they keep on coming I'm 'fraid they'll really eat grandpa out of house and home. Jud says they will. There were seven tramps last week, and already we have had two this week, and one beggar.
I said a match for the black, an' it peers to me like you've gone an' bought the black hisse'f an' is tryin' to put him off on me. No no my kind frien', you'll not fin' anything no-count enuff to be his match on this terrestrial ball. "By this time you cu'd have raked Jud's eyes off his face with a soap-gourd. "'What? w-h-a-t?
