"Well er what of that money?" began Dick, glancing at those around him. "We can't let you go," interposed Sergeant Brown. "You are wanted for that robbery in Albany." "We deny the robbery," said Arnold Baxter. "All right you'll have a chance to clear yourself in court." "We are not going to court, not by a jugful," put in Buddy Girk. "If we give up the gal that's got to end it.
"Well, well! you were only a baby, to be sure, when you were taken away from me. But oh, my dear, I loved you like my own that went to heaven, so I did. And my John, he loved you too. Come in here till I show you the bed you used to sleep in; and always you would be happier if you had a jugful of flowers on the window-sill to look at, falling asleep and coming awake again in the morning.
"She didn't talk as though she was when she was here not by a jugful," declared Cap'n Ira bitterly. "That was because she was angry," explained Elder Minnett patiently. "You must not judge her by her appearance when she came here the other day and found as she declares another girl in her rightful place." "I swan!" exclaimed the old shipmaster, bursting out again. "I won't stand for that.
"Oh, indeed!" he observed. "Thanks for the address. I will not neglect you during your stay there. Be prepared for a shove that will turn your hair gray. Au revoir." And he vanished, muttering the address I had given him "Dr. Liverton, Leamington Dr. Liverton." To which he added, "I won't forget that, not by a jugful." I chuckled softly to myself as he disappeared.
"You're right, Red Blaze," said the sergeant with emphasis, "an' it won't be stopped until the generals on both sides begin to hang an' shoot the plunderers an' murderers." "But they can't ketch 'em all," said Red Blaze. "A Yankee general with a hundred thousand men will be out lookin' for what? Not for a gang of robbers, not by a jugful.
"I don't think any one around here would contest my right to the land, Bill," Wade replied thoughtfully. "Still, as you say, we'd better be careful. The gold will keep. We haven't heard the last of Moran and his crowd yet, not by a jugful." He chuckled grimly. "I wonder if anybody's cut him loose yet." "I reckon they have, boy.
It's sort of late, maybe, but them other fellers ain't got everything sewed up by a jugful." "What other fellows?" asked Shandon, mystified. Then Ettinger, in his rare good humour loosened his tongue until it poured out everything there was in his seething brain.
"Well, I can't miss all the fun," said she at last: and so, having laid supper for him, and put the jug where he could find it and draw his cider, she clapped on her hat and strolled out. He heard her shut-to the front door, and still he went on stitching. When the dusk began to fall he lit a candle, fetched himself a jugful of cider, and went back to his work.
"What does it look like?" asked Farley. "Something like a messenger boy," returned Dan. "Surely, you're not afraid of a messenger boy with a telegram," laughed Darrin. "Little chance that the message is for you, at any rate." "But -it's got a Naval uniform on, I tell you," warned Dan. "No; you hadn't told us. What is it -another midshipman?" "Not by a jugful!" Dan sputtered.
Well, I'll do it, my boy, because I think you made a bully buy; and she's worth it. I'll take over your bargain for you and give you, say er ahem! we harumph-h-h say twenty-five thousand dollars profit. Not so bad, eh? When I was your age " Cappy paused, open-mouthed. He had suddenly remembered something. "Oh, no," he contradicted himself; "this isn't my foolish day not by a jugful!
