The other two are Jane and Tober; old Fritz is up on the summit. Three of the best dogs we had, Bruce!" Bruce was looking over the ledge. He pointed downward. "There's another pitched clean off the face o' the mount'in!" he gasped. "Jimmy, that's five!" Langdon's fists were clenched tightly as he stared over the edge of the precipice. A choking sound came from his throat.
So I cleared away a place in front of the wood-shed and unchained Lord Edward, and then I opened the kitchen door and called the bull. Out he came, with his teeth a-showin', and his blood-shot eyes, and his crooked front legs. Like lightnin' from the mount'in blast, he made one bounce for the big dog, and oh! what a fight there was!
Give it to me!" She snatched the unwieldy bundle of broomstraw from him. "Go tell Mis' Snow I'm much obleeged fer the cheers, an' ef I need any more I'll send fer um after 'while. Tell 'er ef she don't let Mary an' Ella come I'll never set foot in her house agin." "What's all this for?" asked Westerfelt. "You." She slapped him familiarly on the arm. "I'm goin' to give you a mount'in welcome.
I knowed it was easier to git a new start out West, 'n' when I come back to the mount'in, hit was to do jes-whut I'm going to do now." He wheeled suddenly upon Rome, with one huge hand lifted. Under it the old woman's voice rose in a sudden wail: "Yes; 'n' I want to see it done befoh I die.
Instead he clucked to the horses, and not another word could Hortense get from him for a long time. They drove through the little town and out into the country toward the mountains. "Is the house right among the mountains?" Hortense asked at last. "It sho' is," said Uncle Jonah, "De's a mount'in slap in de back yard." "Goody," said Hortense. "I like mountains."
She'd been talkin' to him, I could see that, fer he up an' said some'n about folks bein' churched in his settlement fer the mistreatment o' widows, but he'd admit, he said, that he wusn't posted on the manners an' customs uv all the places over beyant the mount'in; he reckoned the nigher people got to the railroad the furder they wus from the cross.
"There'll be plenty of sleep after to-morrow," added MacDonald, and there was a finality in his voice and words which set the other's blood stirring. "You think they will show up to-morrow?" "Yes. This is the same valley the cabins are in, Johnny. That big mountain runs out an' splits it, an' it curves like a horseshoe. From that mount'in we can see them, no matter which way they come.
We've got to get to the mount'in before we can see them." He closed the glass with a snap and swung it over his shoulder. Then he pointed toward the camp. "Take Joanne down there," he commanded. "Watch the break we came through, an' wait for me. I'm goin' up on the mount'in an' take a look!" The last words came back over his shoulder as he started on a trot down the slope.
Do ye know whut I've been doin'?" he said, with sudden vehemence, stopping still and resting his eyes, which glowed like an animal's from the darkened end of the cabin, on Clayton. "I've been tryin' to keep from killin' ye. Oh, don't move-don't fear now; ye air as safe as ef ye were down in the camp. I seed ye that night on the mount'in," he continued, pacing rapidly back and forth.
Bill Washburn 'lowed he had orders from you not to let me have anything out'n yore shebang; is that so?" "I'd rather not talk business here," replied Westerfelt. He rose and coolly looked Wambush in the face. "If you say so, we'll walk across to the stable." "No," sneered Wambush, "this heer's good enough fur me; I hain't got no secrets frum them mount'in men out thar nur this young lady.
