"If I knew what it was if it's something I can do." "I'm just marking time at Lone Moose," he went on after a pause. There was a note of discouragement in his voice. "I'm well, completely superfluous there. I'd be tempted " He did not go farther. Nor did MacLeod inquire into the nature of the suggested temptation. He merely nodded understandingly at the first part of Thompson's reply.
He did not know whether, in his new position, he was expected to suggest. Belward understood, and it pleased him. "If we had lost the track of a buck moose, or were nosing a cache of furs, you'd find a way, Brillon." "Voila," said Jacques; "then, why not wear the buckskin vest, the red- silk sash, and the boots like these?" tapping his own leathers. "You look a grand seigneur so."
"You get through with the stage as soon as you can, Johnny. Tell Grandma I expect you on Monday." Johnny clucked firmly at his team. "I'll be there. Nothing can't propone me," and he was gone in a cloud of dust. It was an hour later that the preacher rounded the curve to the crest. Douglas threw the saddle on the Moose and Fowler pulled up his bony blue roan in surprise.
All recognize and remember the many phrases to which he gave birth or currency: "predatory wealth," "bull moose," "hit the line hard," "weasel words," "my hat is in the ring," and so on. He took a humorous delight in mystifying the public with recondite allusions, sending everyone to the dictionary to look out "Byzantine logothete," and to the Bible and cyclopedia to find Armageddon.

"I wonder if Billy's missed his train another Adirondack express late, I suppose." He flicked the ashes from his cigarette and, wheeling sharply, touched a bell. "John," he said, as the noiseless old steward entered. "Yes, Mr. Randall." "Find out at the desk if a Mr. William Holcomb from Moose River has called or telephoned." "Very good, sir."
"Where be thy strong son, Moklan, and the fish he was ever willing to bring that you might eat?" The old man shook his head. "And where be Bidarshik, thy strong son? Ever was he a mighty hunter, and ever did he bring thee the good back-fat and the sweet dried tongues of the moose and the caribou. I see no back-fat and no sweet dried tongues.
Maybe I am nothing but a rancher a thousand miles from anywhere but no old crusader ever fought for the grail harder than I'm going to fight for my little old sky pilot. And if they hurt him ! Old Moose groaned as Douglas involuntarily thrust the spurs home. There was a light in the kitchen of the Rodman ranch house.
That accounts for its being larger than the native stags. I think he was right, Sir, what is your opinion?" The doctor and the rest of the party coming up just put an end to Jackson's dissertation on the origin of the moose. The former said,
It was at a season of year when the Maine law exacts a heavy fine for the killing of a moose; and even the guide had no desire to send his bullets through the law, though he might have riddled the game without compunction. For a minute or two the creature halted at the pond's brink, magnified in the mirror of moonlit water into a gigantic, wavering shape.
