The other affected to be overwhelmed with infinite astonishment, his eyes staring. He peered down from the saddle. "Wh-a-a-t!" he exclaimed; "wh-a-a-t did you say? Why, I guess you must be looking for trouble; that's what I guess." "There's where you're wrong, m'son," muttered Annixter, partly to Delaney, partly to himself. "If I was looking for trouble there wouldn't be any guess-work about it."
Andy clicked his teeth together, thought better of his ill-humor and made reply, though he had intended to remain dignifiedly silent. "Yuh rung the bell, m'son but it ain't any josh. By gracious, I mean it!" He glared at those who gurgled incredulously, and went on: "No, sir, you bet it ain't any josh with me this time.
I guess we can be thinking about hitting the trail for home pretty soon now. The river'll break up if this keeps going a week. Say, this is out uh sight! It's warmer out uh doors than it is in the house. Darn the old shack, anyway! I'm plumb sick uh the sight of it. It looked all right to me in a blizzard, but now it's me for the range, m'son."
Now they followed us as before three in the front, two in the rear and two on either side. I do not think I am going to be frightened when the rush does come. I watched myself just now. I was excited, and I remember Bunt saying to me, 'Keep your shirt on, m'son'; but I was not afraid of being killed. Thank God for that!
"And you've got the slicker question settled in your mind, I see; yuh learn easy; it takes two or three soakings to learn some folks." "We've got to go back and help with the herd, haven't we?" Thurston asked. "The horses are all out." "Yep. They'll stay out, too, till noon, m'son. We hike to bed, if anybody should ask yuh."
"Well, m'son," observed Bunt about half an hour after supper, "if your provender has shook down comfortable by now, we might as well jar loose and be moving along out yonder." We left the fire and moved toward the hobbled ponies, Bunt complaining of the quality of the outfit's meals.
"And I'm thinking," said Ally Bazan, "as 'ow ye might as well turn in along o' us on board 'ere, instead o' hykin' back to town to-night. There's a fairish set o' currents up and daown 'ere about this time o' dye, and ye'd find it a stiff bit o' rowing." "We'll sling a hammick for you on the quarterdeck, m'son," urged Hardenberg.
"We didn't mean to keep you from your supper here," he went on, holding out a quarter to Vandover, "here, you take this, that's all right you worked overtime for us, that's all right. Come along, Oscar; come along, m'son." Vandover put the quarter in his vest pocket. "Thank you, sir," he said. The burnisher hurried away, calling back, "Come along, m'son; don't keep your mama waiting for supper."
When we start for Billings to trail up them cattle, of course you'll get a string of your own to ride." "A string? I'm afraid I don't quite understand." "Yuh don't savvy riding a string? A string, m'son, is ten or a dozen saddle-horses that yuh ride turn about, and nobody else has got any right to top one; every fellow has got his own string, yuh see." Thurston eyed his horse distrustfully.
"No, it isn't," answered the clerk, looking him gravely in the eye, "it's five cents." "Well, there's where you are wrong, m'son," Dyke retorted, genially. "You look it up. You'll find the freight on hops from Bonneville to 'Frisco is two cents a pound for car load lots. You told me that yourself last fall." "That was last fall," observed the clerk. There was a silence.
