"Milt," said Cap'n Abe suggestively, "I b'lieve I hear Mandy callin' you." "I'm a-comin'! I'm a-comin', Mandy!" gurgled Milt, cognizant of the girl's gay countenance turned upon him. "What did you want, miss?" asked Cap'n Abe, as the recreant husband of the militant Mandy stumbled over his own feet getting out of the store. Louise bubbled over with laughter; she could not help it.
The thought of her made his brown hands shake, and he remembered how many times he had sworn to visit her, but had failed of courage, though it seemed she had invited him by word and look to do so. He overtook Milton Jennings on his way along the poplar-lined lane. "Hello, Milt, where you bound?" Milton glanced up with a curious look in his laughing eyes.
"Where is Pine?" queried Helen, eagerly. "Farther still, up over the foot-hills at the edge of the woods." "Then we're riding away from it." "Yes. If we'd gone straight for Pine thet gang could overtake us. Pine is four days' ride. An' by takin' to the mountains Milt can hide his tracks. An' when he's thrown Anson off the scent, then he'll circle down to Pine." "Mr.
And may we You've worked so hard, and about saved our lives. May I pay you for that labor? We're really much indebted " "Oh, it wasn't anything. Tickled to death if I could help you." He heartily shook hands with her father, and he droned, "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Uh." "Boltwood." "Mr. Boltwood. My name is Milt Milton Daggett. See you have a New York license on your car.
Beasley, do you remember last fall when you met Snake Anson with his gang up in the woods and hired him to make off with me?" asked Helen, in swift, ringing words. The dark olive of Beasley's bold face shaded to a dirty white. "Wha-at?" he jerked out, hoarsely. "I see you remember. Well, Milt Dale was hidden in the loft of that cabin where you met Anson.
"No can do," grunted Milt. "Scared?" "Nope. Love it! This is a real camp the brush on the bank, and the stream listen to it chuckle under the running-board." "Do you like to camp with me?" "Love it." "Say! Gee! Never thought Claire! Got your transportation back East?" "My ticket? Yes. Why?" "Well, I'm sure you can turn it in and get a refund. So that's all right."
"I certainly have not. I have only had enough of it to make me desirous of continuing in it, and if you think I could make a good enough fireman, I should be very glad to take Milt Sturgis' place on number 10, and learn to run a locomotive engine under Mr. Stump." "A fireman!" exclaimed Mr. Hill, in surprise. "Is that the height of your ambition?"
Milt quite carefully stopped the Gomez. The day was still just a breathing of running water in the deep gully. The topsy-turvy car below them was equally still; no sight of Pinky, no sound. The gauche boy gone from him, Milt took her hand, pressed it to his cheek. "Claire! You're here! You might have gone with him, to make room Oh, I was bullying you because I was bullying myself!
There has never been a Freshman, not the most goggle-eyed and earnest of them, who has seen less of classmates, thought less about "outside activities," more grimly centered the universe about his work. Milt had sold his garage, by mail, to Ben Sittka and Heinie Rauskukle. He had enough money to get through two years, with economy. His life was as simple and dull as it had been in Schoenstrom.
Yer pretty flowers done it pretty flowers spit o' hell! I knowed 'em I fought 'em I'll fight 'em to the death of 'em!" His little red-rimmed eyes hardly veiled his contempt for Milt Rogers. A cowman, sailing this dusky purple bay to see a girl! A girl who sang in the lily drift a-sailing on this dirty, reeking bumboat, with cattle dying jammed in the pens!
