"Good night," he returned, with sincere liking. "Who is that?" Norcross heard her companion ask. She replied in a low voice, but he overheard her answer, "A poor 'lunger, bound for Meeker's and Kingdom Come, I'm afraid. He seems a nice young feller, too." "They always wait till the last minute," remarked the rancher, with indifferent tone.
"I suppose though," he added as if in answer to his own question, "no man knows what portrait public opinion paints of him. At all events I'm a harmless hobo and quite willing to pay when I put my fellow-man to inconvenience. I live in the mountains by the sentence of my doctors." "Lunger, eh?" Burton nodded his head comprehensively, but quite without sympathy; and the guest bowed his assent.
"Cole and his men were in a hurry to make White Sage to-night. They were travelling light; I've heavy wagons." "Naab, I reckon you shore wouldn't tell a lie?" "I have never lied." "Heerd of a young feller thet was in Lund pale chap lunger, we'd call him back West?" "I heard that he had been mistaken for a spy at Lund and had fled toward Bane." "Hadn't seen nothin' of him this side of Lund?" "No."
They'd go off like hot cakes to high schools and collectors. We could get a professor in here cheap a lunger, maybe to classify 'em, and then we'd send out our own salesman. We can advertise and create a market. "Gentlemen," solemnly, "we have not one iota of reason to be discouraged!
Of this period, last of all, was the great B.B. Buffalo Butte ranch, giant among the giants, whose brand was familiar as his own name to every cowboy west of the Missouri, whose hospitable ranch house, twenty-odd miles from the vest pocket metropolis of Coyote Centre, which in turn, to quote Landor himself, was "a hundred miles from nowhere," was the Mecca of every traveller whom chance drew into this wild, of every curious tenderfoot seeking a glimpse of the reverse side of the coin of life, of every desperate "one lunger," who, with gambler instinct, staked his all on prairie sun and prairie air.
"And then what does that young lunger do, but gather in all the floating population in the kid line, and play games with 'em, and read thrillers to 'em up at the bungalow every evening. He's teaching them as wants to learn, too. He's got Tate flamgasted. You see, the old man depended, for the future, on them youngsters that haunted the tavern and got the drippings that fell from within.
Tell yor maister 'at Mattie's owd feyther's coom a' the gait fro Rachda to fot her whoam, and aw'll be much obleeged to him iv he'll let her goo beout lunger delay, for her mother wants her to whoam: hoo's but poorly.

You may have noticed that I have what might be called a classic pallor, and a general resemblance to a corpse." Nancy shivered a little and Carol frowned, but Nevius continued imperturbably. "The undertaker down-town is a lunger, and a nervous wreck to boot. But he is a good undertaker.
"Nuisance... this... being a lunger... What's it all... about, Jeff?" "I know her. We'll cover the waterfront. Take from Coffee Street up. Don't miss a wharf or a boathouse. And if you find the girl don't let her get away." The editor crossed to the Pacific & Alaska dock, his glance sweeping every dark nook and cranny that might conceal a huddled form.

Yeh know that. I know how yeh doped it out. I know we ain't got much time to make a pile if we keep at th' game. Makin' weight makes yeh a lunger. We all die of th' hurry-up stunt.
