"Because I heard your name mentioned plainly I felt that you ought to know what little I managed to pick up." "All right, then, Limpy, start ahead, and spin the yarn," said Hugh. "Has some one been remarking what a poor excuse of an athlete Hugh Morgan is; and that he ought never to have been given his job as field captain of the Scranton High baseball team?
"I s'pose y' air tired an' hongry; ye look hit," said the woman, with a compassionate glance at Harry, who had sunk limpy into a chair before the glowing wood-fire that filled up a large part of the end of the room. "Set down by the fire," she continued, "an' I'll git ye some pone an' milk. Thar's nothin' better ter start in on when yer rale empty."
Two women and four men fell dead; the wounded, among whom was "Limpy," were taken to the hospital, and only one person was lucky enough to escape.
"What trick's he played?" Matthews evaded the question. "I seen one of the Clark outfit," he continued, "and tried t' git him t' bother old limpy. Says I, 'They's stealin' your slow-elk down there. Wasn't any use. 'Thunderation! says the cow-punch. 'You mean that bull? He was a yearlin' when he come to 'em. That's maverick age." Braden sneered. "Such a kid!" he murmured.
Caesar was walking in the middle of the highway, when, about half way home, a man on the run passed him. No doubt he was going to give some signal. "Limpy" and "Chinaman" shouted over and over: "Don Caesar! Don Caesar!" Caesar halted, and "Chinaman" and "Limpy" ran up to him. "What's going on?" asked Caesar. "They are lying in wait for you," said "Limpy." "Didn't you see a man go past running?"
It's new and it's nice, and I never get tired, or pale, or limpy, like most of the girls. I never enjoyed myself so much in my life, and you would say the same thing, guardy, only you're in your honey-moon, and not capable of enjoying anything." "But, Mollie," Mr. Walraven remonstrated, "it isn't right to flirt so much as you do. There's young Ingelow.
The boys had about exhausted their vocabulary of words that express delight, in examining the many things of interest shown by "Limpy" Wallace, who was a cripple, and had to use a crutch, he being also a great admirer of Hugh Morgan, whom he considered in the light of a hero.
It's no more than I expected, Limpy, and my feelings can't be hurt a bit; so don't try to spare me." "Listen, then, please, and you, too, Thad, seeing that you're his chum," began the other, eagerly. "It was just an accident, you understand, because I never yet was intentionally guilty of trying to overhear what other fellows were saying.
"You, Dry-Creek and Jimmy, and Ben and Taller hump yourselves to the wildwood and rustle flowers for the blow-out mesquite'll do and get that Spanish dagger blossom at the corner of the horse corral for the bride to pack. You, Limpy, get out that red and yaller blanket of your'n for Miss Sally's skyirt. Marquis, you'll do 'thout fixin'; nobody don't ever look at the groom."
It came when the hated snitch for gangdom hates the informer worse than anything else dead or alive had turned a sufficiently dark and deserted corner. A muffled thud, a stifled groan followed as a heavy section of lead pipe wrapped in a newspaper descended on the crass skull of Limpy.
