"Not exactly that. I managed to slip away, through the sage. It was mo'ning before I found the road again. Soon as I did, a deputy tagged me, and said, 'You're mine. He spoke for me so prompt and seemed so sure about what he was saying, I didn't argue the matter with him." He laughed gayly. "And then?" "Then he herded me to town, and I was invited to be the county's guest.
Peter made a funny face and laughed too. "Seemed like he jes' went 'round from mo'ning to night asking questions," continued Ol' Mistah Buzzard, "Got so that eve'ybody dreaded to see that no 'count Buzzard coming, because he bound to pester with questions about things what don't concern him no ways.
"Missa Tho'ne letta all a-ready fo' mail I putta pos'age-stamp, gifa to shif'-boss. I think Sa' F'a'cisco in a mo'ning. I care fo' everything!" "Ito cares for everything," Mr. Thorne quoted, in answer to his wife's haggard inquiries. "He stamped your letter and sent it to town yesterday by one of the day-shift men." "Now what shall be done!" Mrs. Thorne exclaimed tragically.
Steve was laboring under intense excitement, but he ignored the presence of the overseer and addressed himself to Slocum Price. "Well, what of that?" cried Hicks quickly. "Thar warn't no George, mind you, Mas'r, but dar was his team in de stable this mo'ning and lookin' mighty nigh done up with hard driving."
It was after the roping had begun, and Austin had been called away to take his turn, that the outlaw chief sauntered along the aisle of the grand stand to the box in which was seated the mistress of the Lazy D. "Beautiful mo'ning, isn't it? Delightfully crisp and clear," he said by way of introduction, stopping at her box.
They did, and admired the more the versatility of a leader who could make plans on the spur of the moment to meet any emergency. "We'll push right on, boys. Once we get through the pass it will trouble anybody to find us. Before mo'ning you'll be across the line." "And you, Brill?" "I'm going back to settle accounts for good and all with Mr. Keller," answered Healy grimly between set teeth.
She looked over at Sammy Jay, who was in the next tree, and smiled, and when she smiled she showed all her sharp teeth. "Good mo'ning, Brer Jay," said she. "Hello!" exclaimed Sammy Jay, not at all politely. "Where's Uncle Billy Possum?" Old Mrs. Possum shook her head, and the worried look came back into her face, although she tried hard, oh, so hard, not to let it.
"Yo' see Peter did see something strange, even if Brer Porky didn't. Ah have seen it mahself, and now Ah invites yo' to be over at the foot of Brer Porky's hill at sun-up to-morrow mo'ning and see what happens when Brer Fox tries to show how brave he is. Only don' forget that it's a secret." Jimmy was chuckling by this time. "I won't forget, and I'll be there," he promised.
At last Mistah Buzzard came sailing down straight for the tall dead tree. With two or three flaps of his great wings he settled down on his favorite perch and looked down at Bobby Coon. "Good mo'ning, Brer Coon," said Ol' Mistah Buzzard. "Good morning, Mistah Buzzard; I hope you are feeling very well this morning," replied Bobby Coon as politely as he knew how.
Now, at nine, he was up again and fresh as a daisy after a morning bath. He found at the next table two other late breakfasters. "Mo'ning, Miss Kinney. How are you, Tennessee?" he said amiably. Both Larry and the young woman admitted good health, the latter so blushingly that Steve's keen eyes suggested to him that he might not be the only one with news to tell this morning.
