Sure, knock a board off; two boards, if you like. Take all the boards off!" urged Bill, in a burst of generosity. "You might better be making that bunk over, m'son, than trying to take the whole blamed town apart and put it together again, like you was doing last night." In this way Bill tactfully swung to the subject that lay heavy on his mind.
So we huddled close upon the second mate's heels, and clumped noisily upon the deck, as though to rout the wraith with our racket. Perhaps our racket did send Nils away. It certainly aroused the men sleeping in the cabin, and the roundhouse. But we saw Newman at the helm, not Nils. "Well, m'son, where's your ghost?" demanded Mister Lynch.
Annixter moved his shoulders with a gesture of vast unconcern. "Oh," he observed carelessly, "it's not my SHOOTING that ever worried ME, m'son." The crowd gaped with delight. There was a great wagging of heads. "Well, I guess not." "No, sir, not much." "Ah, no, you bet not."
Jack's lips began to show the line of stubbornness. "I haven't quarreled with the Captain, except that little fuss a month ago, when he was hammering that peon because he couldn't talk English; I'm not going to. And if they did try any funny work with me, old-timer, why as you say, these guns " "Oh, all right, m'son! Have it your own way," Bill retorted grimly.
I'll have a lay-off for a month or so and take the little tad and mother up and show 'em the city 'Frisco until it's time for the schools to open, and then we'll put Sid in the seminary at Marysville. Catch on?" "I suppose you'll stay right by hops now?" "Right you are, m'son. I know a good thing when I see it. There's plenty others going into hops next season. I set 'em the example.
And he's dead onto his job, you bet; when he goes out after a man he comes pretty near getting him, m'son. But I sure do wish I'd killed that jasper while I was about it; it would have saved Lauman a lot uh hard riding."
Indeed, she had never, since the preceding night, been entirely absent from them; but because his training had been to do one thing at a time, and think of what he was doing to the exclusion of all else, he had unconsciously pigeonholed her in the back of his mind. Now she emerged. "Shiner, m'son," he apostrophized his horse, "if things break right you're going to have a missus.
"I know I can't shoot straight," he went on frankly, "but you're taking that much the greater chance. If I have to, I'll cut loose and there's no telling where the bullets may strike." "That's right," Park admitted. "Stand still, boys; he's more dangerous than a gun that isn't loaded. What d'yuh want, m'son?" "I want to talk to you for about five minutes.
"For the life of me," cried Thurston, sidling gingerly over to him, "I can't see where they all come from. For two days these yards have never been empty. The country will soon be one vast herd." "Two days huh! this thing'll go on for weeks, m'son. And after all is over, you'll wonder where the dickens they all went to. Montana is some bigger than you realize, I guess.
