The afternoon was a mild, sunny one in early autumn, with a refreshing breeze perfumed with the delicate scent of after-harvest flowers wafting down from the cool regions of the Northwest, where lay the new El Dorado the land of gold. Fearless Frank bestrode a noble bay steed of fire and nerve, while old General Nix rode an extra mule that he had purchased of Charity Joe.
That's strange. Does he own the jail?" "Huh! Hardman owns this heah whole damn burg." "Nix," spoke up Blinky. "Don't fool yourself there, pardner. Jard Hardman has a long string on Marco, I'll admit, but somebody's goin' to cut it." Brown had an interesting account to give of his meeting with Dick Hardman down at Yellow Mine.
His tongue carried the cigarette butt languidly back to the other corner of his mouth. "Aw, go on!" said Jimmie Dale. "Try it on somebody else! Silver Mag croaked out the night they had that fire down there in the old tenement." "Yes, she did nix!" scoffed the Wowzer, with a short laugh. "De same way dat blasted snitch of a Gray Seal did eh? Say, Smarly, I'm handin' it to youse straight.
When I offer to pay my way they're insulted. Nix! that ain't their graft. They wouldn't take money from a stranger. Oh, no! They permit me to work my way. The scullion has quit, see? So they promote me to his job. It's the only job I ever held, and I held it because it wouldn't let go of me, savvy?

Great Britain cannot publicly or, at least, obviously make any exceptions to her Order in Council, and we'll have to mess up that steamer's title and nativity to save John Bull's social standing. We must make a bluff at deceiving him. If we can show some sort of legal transfer to another flag J. B. can play blindman's buff with dignity and honor; otherwise nix!"

The German backed up and avoided the blow, saying tauntingly, "Ah, nix, Engländer." Then he asked us why we were not working, and we said we had got tired and were taking a rest. He said "Komm' mit." We said, "Oh no." When he saw we had no intention of going he began to make promises. He said that if we would only go back to work he would not report us and we would not be punished in any way.
"You got her all worked up, Betty. I'm not blaming you. It's just my jinx. She took it into her head I'd been treating you mean, and she kicked at the Casino. I gotta close it down or nix on the heir thing. That was enough for me. I'm going to turn it into a hotel." He relighted his cigar. "And now, just as I got her smoothed down, along comes this darned tenement business.
Officer, I protest " But at that moment the policeman grabbed his arm with a savage jerk that nearly overthrew him. "Come on, you're pulled." "Arrest him, too," Watson demanded. "Nix on that play," was the reply. "What did you assault him for, him a peacefully eatin' his soup?" Carter Watson was genuinely angry.
