And of course it must be Porcupine Jim who finally spoke. "That's a hard stage ride, ma'am," he said deferentially. "Them jolts is enough to tear the linin' out of a lady. They does me up and I'm quite hearty." Ore City blushed to the roots of its hair and there was murder in the eyes that turned on Jim. Didn't he know nothin' that Swede? They felt somewhat relieved when she laughed.
However, Billy's a heap careful of Willyum's morals, an' is shorely linin' him up right. "Once a new barkeep in the dance-hall allows he'll promote Willyum's feelin's some with a spoonful of nose-paint.
"You can look at that first," said Dick, and unbuttoning his coat he took it off and handed it to the constable. Josiah Cotton dove into one pocket after another, bringing out various articles which were Dick's private property. "Any o' these yours?" he asked the jeweler. "Can't say as they are, Josiah," answered Aaron Fairchild. "Go on a-huntin'. Maybe somethin' is in the linin'."
"Stow all that, son," he interrupted more tolerantly than was my due. "Forget your lungs, lights and liver and stand up a full-size man. In my opinion you've had too much doctorin'. A month with a bull train, and a diet of beans and sowbelly will put a linin' in your in'ards and a heart in your chest.
That was always my the'ry 'bout her short o' water; but some folks wan't satisfied 'thout somethin' more ex-citin'. 'Twan't enough for 'em to have all them creeturs dyin' down there by inches. They stuck to it about some blood-stains on the linin' in her hold, but I tell you the difference between old blood-stains and rust that's may be ten or fifteen years old's might' hard to tell.
I tuk the bottle an' the next minut I was out av the dhark av the pillar, the pink linin' wrapped round me most graceful, the music thunderin' like kettledrums, an' a could draft blowin' round my bare legs. By this hand that did ut, I was Khrishna tootlin' on the flute the god that the rig'mental chaplain talks about. A sweet sight I must ha' looked.
An' we've sure been a-comin' polin', linin' up, and portagin'. But the falls'll stick 'em a solid week. That's where I left 'em a-cuttin' a trail over the tops of the bluffs for the boats. I just had a sure natural hunch to keep a-comin'. So I fills a pack with grub an' starts. I knew I'd find you a-driftin' an' all in." Smoke nodded, and put forth his hand in a silent grip.
Ilka cloud has aye its siller linin'. Noo, for instance, it was a fearfu' pain I took but the ither that I took to cure it it was Scotch," and Archie drew a gentle sigh, half of piety and half of reminiscence. When next I turned my steps towards Archie's door, though only two short days had fled, all life had changed to me and darkness hung about me like a pall.
Some o' the farmers was interested in 'em, but they was too heavy fer field-work, an' though Tobe mighty nigh tore the linin' out o' his throat yellin' agin it as a plumb outrage, Alf raked 'em in at about the cost of the bare iron in 'em.
When I went away from here you was fussin' with the school-teachers because they said this whole earth was once under water, an' now I find you cuttin' around an' linin' out missionary-preachers because you ain't suited with the way the Bible was wrote.
