Nominated on the second ballot to the eternal confusion of the Munyon crowd, who afterward, I have been told, bolted the ticket and voted solidly for my Republican opponent. I made a speech, and was wildly cheered, then dragged in Lum Atkins's buggy to my hotel by an army of yelling partisans.
"Still, that doesn't explain Lum's presence here, unless he has followed us, seeking revenge." "Lum may have turned traitor," observed Hippy. "Folks, it is my opinion that we had better prepare for trouble. I smell it in the air." "Don't you think that it would be wise to protect our equipment?" suggested Anne.
"And now the neighbors talk as bad agin when they see him a-reelin' by. She might have known folks would talk anyway if they can't run folks for doin' things they will run 'em for not doin' 'em they'll talk every time." "Yes, and don't you forgit it," sez Bub Lum. But nobody minded Bub, and Miss Cork begun agin on another tact.
Lum Bangs, in a sudden impulse of rage, pulled the trigger and fired point blank at Lieutenant Wingate, but the young mountaineer's warning to him, at the critical moment, had drawn Lum's thoughts from his aim, and his bullet missed its mark. Hippy heard it whistle past him close to his head. Bang! Barely a second had elapsed between Lum Bangs' shot and a second report.
Well, if he don't return before I go, some of you tell him that he's wasting good time looking for a ford, for there ain't none." In the conversation which followed, we learned that Slaughter was driving for his brother Lum, a widely known cowman and drover, whom we had seen in Dodge.
The water kept coming in splashes down the lum, the hillocks of the floor were slimy, and in the hollows little lakes were gathering: the lowest film of the torrent-water ran down the rock behind, and making its way between rock and roof, threatened soon to render the place uninhabitable. "What's the eese o' lo'denin' yersel' wi' the umbrell?" said Robert.
The dancers stopped dancing, a couple at a time, and quickly got out of range of Lum Bangs' weapon; the music died away, and a heavy silence, tense with possibilities, settled over the hot, smoky room. "Are ye goin'?" "On one condition that you put down your gun and come outside with me. We'll have it out man to man.
While the morning meal was being dispensed the anxious little woman thrust a bite or two into her own mouth, and ate as she moved about. Then she told the old people she was "gauin' up the lum to look aboot her." Without more ado she dipped into the fireplace and disappeared up the chimney. Her surprise on reaching this point of vantage was very great.
He gradually improved in means so that he was able to set up a store. Whilst living in Water Street, New York, he fell in love with Polly Luna, the daughter of a caulker. The father forbade the marriage. But Girard persevered, and at length he won and married Polly Lum. It proved a most unfortunate marriage. His wife had no sympathy with him; and he became cross, snappish, morose.
He thereupon scurried for Philadelphia, where he sold vessel and cargo, of which latter only a part belonged to him, and with the proceeds opened up a cider and wine bottling and grocery business in a small store on Water street. Girard made money fast; and in July, 1777, married Mary Lum, a woman of his own class.
