Ye'll be after givin' it to me, er I'll get it out of ye somehow. It's naht goin' to be ch'ated out av me money I am." "I'm owin' ye naathin'," insisted Rourke. "Ye may as well go away from here. Ye'll get naathin'. If ye waant anything more, go an' see the ahffice," and now he strode away to where the Italians were, ignoring the stranger completely and muttering something about his being drunk.
I know them aall, every waan av thim, an' their thricks. It's naht foolin' me they'll be. But, me b'y," he added instructively, "it's a fine job ye'll have runnin' down to the ahffice gettin' their time." "You don't mean to say that you're going to discharge them, Rourke, do you?" I asked. "Shewer!" he exclaimed authoritatively. "Why shouldn't I? They're jist the same as other min.
It's naht me that can be waalked on by a loafer like that an' me payin' him more than ever he was worth, an' him waalkin' aaf an' l'avin' the job half done. I'll fix him this time. I'll show him. I'll tache him to be comin' around an' disturbin' a man when he's at his work. I'll fix him now," and once more he began to move. But the great foreman was not so easily to be disposed of.
"You did naht!" howled Meacham, "you had a feller with ye " "Well, I'll fight you right now, then," volunteered Denver accommodatingly but the Slogger did not put up his hands. "That's all right," he said backing sullenly away, "but remember what I told you I'll git ye!" "You'll git nothing!" returned Denver and laughed him out the door, though there were others who muttered warnings in his ears.
Ye'll naht, will ye?" On the instant a tremendous change came over the scene. It was as swift as stage play. Instantly Rourke was upright and faced about, shouting, "Now, be gob, ye've torn me coat, have ye! Now I'll tache ye! Now I'll show ye! Wait! Get ready, now.
Seeing the crowd that had and was gathering, and that he was likely to encounter more forms of trouble than he had anticipated, he had started down the track toward Mott Haven. "I'll fix ye!" Rourke shouted when he saw him going. "Ye'll pay fer this. I'll have ye arristed. Wait! Ye'll naht get aaf so aisy this time."
I have no money fer ye here," and he resumed a comfortable position before the fire, his hands behind his back. "It's siven dollars ye still owe me," returned the other, ignoring Rourke's reply, "an' I waant it now." "Well, ye'll naht get it," replied my boss. "I've naathin' fer ye, I'm tellin' ye. I owe ye naathin'." "Is that so?" returned the other. "Well, we'll see about that.
On the instant, and as if seized by sudden inspiration, whether because the tails of Rourke's long coat hung out in a most provoking fashion and suggested the thing that followed or not, I don't know, but now the red-faced intruder jumped forward, and seizing them in a most nimble and yet vigorous clutch, gave an amazing yank, which severed them straight up the back, from seat to nape, at the same time exclaiming: "Ye'll naht pay me, will ye?
Break it aisy, if ye will. Don't let 'er think there's anything serious. There's no need av it. I'm naht hurted so bad as aall that." I promised, and the next moment one of the doctors shot a spray of cocaine into his hip to relieve what he knew must be his dreadful pain.
"What kind av a man is it that'll let himself be waalked on? There's no sinse in it. It's naht natchral. It's naht intinded that it should be so." "Very well," I said, smoothing the whole thing over, and so that ended. Well, the masons came, and a fine lot of pirates they surely were. Such independence! Such defiance!
