"I never did. I've never married any of 'em before her." "Little good that'll do yus, Lin McLean! Me and him was man and wife before ever I come acrosst yus." "You and him?" murmured the puncher. "Her and me," whimpered Lusk. "Sidney." He sat up with a limp, confiding stare at everybody. "Sidney who?" said Lin. "No, no," corrected Lusk, crossly "Sidney, Nebraska."
Captain J. Lusk, 6th Cameronians, was already Director of an important steel works, engaged in Government business when war broke out, and might have honourably claimed exemption. Instead he offered himself at once on mobilisation, and went out with his battalion to France last spring.
Struck Christmas all right, though." "Who's your friend?" inquired his Excellency. "This is Mister Billy Lusk. Him and me have agreed that towns ain't nice to live in. If Judge Henry's foreman and his wife won't board him at Sunk Creek why, I'll fix it somehow." The cow-puncher and his Responsibility rode on together toward the open plain. "Sufferin Moses!" remarked his Excellency.
The church-bells ceased; the congregations sat inside, but outside the hot town showed no Sunday emptiness or quiet.

He will tell how onced he thought he was solid married to me till Lusk came back; and she will drop me out of sight along with the rest that went nameless. They was not uncomprehensible to you, was they? You have learned something by livin', I guess!
"Christopher!" was his single observation; but he never forgets a face cannot afford to, now that he is in politics; and, besides, Lusk remembered him. You seldom really forget a man to whom you owe ten dollars. "So you've quit hauling poles?" said the Governor. "Nothing in it, sir," said Lusk.
