Then Meddy will tune up agin, an' mighty nigh cry her eyes out.
But now he gazed all forlorn into the empty building with a single thought in his mind. "Not one of 'em keered a mite! Nare good word, nare sigh, not even, 'Fare ye well, old mate!" His breast heaved, his eyes flashed.
"An' you oughtn't to 'a' keered what he was and that's why I hate you," she said, calmly "fer worryin' him an' bein' so high-heeled that you was willin' to let him mighty nigh bust his heart about somethin' that wasn't his fault. I come fer him you understand fer HIM. I hate YOU!" She turned without another word, walked slowly back down the walk and through the gate.
"He hed a wife in Philadelphy, though I hed never hearn him speak uv her. After he wuz dead, I found in one uv his pockets a worn letter, months old, frum her, dated Philadelphy; and I got her word uv his death, though frum her letter I gethered thet they hedn't been gittin' on well together, an' thet she 'peared to think he had misused her, an' keered nothin' fur her.
We was children together, and thar hain't no use hidin' that I never keered a straw fer anuther woman. She used to be mighty wilful 'n' contrary, but as soon as you come I seed at oncet that a change was comm' over her. I mistrusted ye, 'n' I warned her ag'in' ye.
Say, it's good to hev a boy aboard again. Otto was too old, an' a Dutchy at that. Him an' me we fought consid'ble. 'Wouldn't ha' keered fer that ef he'd hed a Christian tongue in his head. Sleepy?" "Dead sleepy," said Harvey, nodding forward. "Mustn't sleep on watch. Rouse up an' see ef our anchor-light's bright an' shinin'. You're on watch now, Harve." "Pshaw! What's to hurt us? Bright's day.
No more would he take, however, than what he thought he could get along with one blanket from the bed and, from the fireplace, a little bacon and a pone of corn-bread. "An' I KNOW Aunt Jane wouldn't 'a' keered about these leetle fixin's, fer I have to have 'em, an' I know I've earned 'em anyways."
"Who would I mean but that damn' furriner, Frank Layson? He warn't satisfied with comin' here an' stealin' you away from me! He had to put th' revenuers on th' track o' th' old still that was my dad's afore me, an' has been th' one thing, siden you, I've ever keered fer in my life." "You're wrong, Joe," she insisted. "You're shore wrong. Frank Layson'd never do a coward's trick like that!"
"I didn't go fer ter spy on ye, Smiles," he protested, "I seen ye by chance. But, whether yo' love him er not, yo' might jest as well fergit him. He keered fer ye jest because yo' air er purty mountain flower, an' he haint never ercomin' back hyar ergin." "He air, too," contradicted the girl rebelliously. "He air ercomin' back an' he's promised ter help me git edercation." Judd laughed shortly.
"Ez I was sayin'," continued Nott, once more pressing the excited man down in his chair, "I might hev wiped ye out and mebbee ye wouldn't hev keered or you might hev wiped me out, and I mout hev said. 'Thank'ee, but I reckon this ain't a case for what's comfable for you and me. It's what's good for Rosey. And the thing to kalkilate is, what's to be done."
