Little Jim almost tumbled from his pony in his eagerness to ride Joshua, his father's horse, with the big saddle and rope and the carbine under the stirrup leather. "You musta made a long ride," declared Jimmy, as he scrambled up on Joshua. "Josh's shoes is worn thin. He'll be throwin' one, next."
You got another jug?" he asked, with some disgust, steadying Mose against the wall. "Ah I ain't got any jug uh nothin'," Mose protested, rather thickly.

"Mhm-hmh I thought so!" he ejaculated, staring severely at the elevators. "This is bad pret-ty darn bad! They musta done a tail-slide and pancaked. That's ba-ad." He removed the smokeless cigarette from his lips, looked at it, felt for a match, and shook his head slowly while he drew the match across a hot rock at his feet.

"Well, so much for that."
"The fellows all like a good story and it don't sound any worse because it's on Dick. And say! I kinda got a clue to where he connected with that whisky. Walt says he come back from the line-camp with his overcoat rolled up and tied behind the saddle and it wasn't what you could call a hot night, either. He musta had that jug wrapped up in it.
He said he was lyin' in one o' th' mangers asleep when a feller brought a horse in an' th' light woke him up an' when he went t' climm outa th' manger th' horse got scared an' pulled back an' musta stepped on this feller's foot fur th' feller started swearin' at him an' pulled him outa th' manger an' beat him up an' " But Slavin had heard enough.
But that head rolled on his arm, and Drew was forced to swallow the fact that the other had died believing that treachery. Kirby arose from the examination of the rest of the bodies. "Got 'em all. Musta bin as easy as shootin' weanlin's. They didn't have a chance! We got three " He made a circle about one of the dead guerrillas "but that don't balance none."
But the war was near over then; I soon was as free as I am now. "I guess we musta celebrated 'Mancipation about twelve times in Hornett County. Every time a bunch of No'thern sojers would come through they would tell us we was free and we'd begin celebratin'.
