"Tobe Gryce, ye air fairly demented," exclaimed the register a chin-whiskered, grizzled old fellow, sitting on a stump and hugging his knee with a desolate, bereaved look "talkin' 'bout the stray-book, an' all the records gone! What will folks do 'bout thar deeds, an' mortgages, an' sech? An' that thar keerful index ez I had made ez straight ez a string all cinders!"
If yoo don't I am havin' you watshed an you will los yoor job an likely be hanged. We are arumd so be keerful. This aint yella. This is rite. It was a long job and he was tired when it was finished, for his days at school had been full of so many other things besides lessons that literary efforts were always strenuous for him.
"Of course we will do that," said he, "but I can tell you one thing: whoever is expected ain't comin', for he can't get here. But we've got to stay here tonight, no matter who comes or doesn't come, and we've got to be keerful in speakin' to the woman of the house.
"Not yet; they wouldn't be likely to kindle a camp fire at this time of day, and afore they jined the others. Come ahead, we must be mighty keerful now, when we're gettin' so close." As before, Tom took the lead, and they advanced with the greatest caution.
He ended by hitching a vicious-looking sorrel to a gay, duck-bellied cutter, saying as he gave up the reins: "Now, be keerful; Dan's foxy; he's all right when he sees you've got the reins, but don't drop 'em." "Don't you worry about me; I grew up with horses," said the over-confident youth, leaping into the sleigh and gathering up the lines. "Stand aside, my lord, and let the cortège pass.
"Wal, thar mout be some shaver dat's big enough to go, but Marse War's dat keerful ter please Marse Desmit dat he takes 'em all outen de field afore dey can well toddle," said the woman doubtfully. "Well, come and take my horse," said he, as he began to descend from his gig, "and send for Mr. Ware to come up at once."
"If we keep on this curve, Sol, about what time do you think we ought to reach the boys?" "Afore moonrise, jest about when the night is darkest, 'less somethin' gits in the way. Here's another branch, Henry. Guess we'd better wade in it a right smart distance. You can't ever be too keerful about your trail."
Selecting a spot near the channel of the dried-up torrent, he began to dig, relieved to find that he did not strike rock. "I guess," he said, stopping to lean on his spade as he stared at the mountain, "the earth just got too full of granite and biled over, but was keerful to spew it upwards, so's to save as much ground as it could, while relieving its feelings."
For this they received protection; that is, the police and the Courts were so completely in the scheme that it was sufficient, on the arrest of a "reliable," if the boss sent word to the judge or State's attorney "to be keerful" as this was "one of our boys." Promptly a flaw would be discovered in the indictment and the case dropped.
"Lookin' ahead, though, seven days seems awful long when yer old; but Oh, law, yes; a week'll pass in no time," she repeated. "Only dew be keerful, Abe, an' don't take cold."
