"I guess those are the best trails from what you say," was Rathburn's yawning comment. "Them's the best," the other added. "There's another trail going out below town that follows southeast along a big ridge, but that trail's as far as the road. When you goin' up?" "I dunno," replied Rathburn noncommittally. "Say, I guess I know where that cabin is on the left side of the road going up.
During dinner the two women talked as any two women of their types might have talked, quite noncommittally, although, in a surface way, quite intimately. Miss Briggs was a creature full of tact, and was the last person in the world to try to force a confidence from anyone. She was also not given at any time to pouring out confidences of her own.
"Feelin' kinder bad to-night," explained Swope, as his mayordomo butted into the swinging doors of a saloon and disappeared, "but you remember what I said about them sheep. How do things look up your way?" he inquired. "Feed pretty good?" "It's getting awfully dry," replied Hardy noncommittally. "I suppose your sheep are up on the Black Mesa by this time."
"Naturally," he continued, "when one is at last sent for, there can be no delay. I must report at once." "Oh, la la," said Madame Maubert, noncommittally. Maubert glanced round his shop, his little wine-shop, his lucrative little business that he had made successful. Very well. His wife must run it alone now, as best she could.

"Take it off!" he murmured. "Take it off! It is is crushing th the life out of of me!" "Mr. Bodley Hiram, don't you know me?" asked Doctor Gardner, kindly. "Oh! So it's you? I guess you can't do much, doctor, can you? I I'm done for!" And a spasm of pain crossed the sufferer's face. "While there is life there is hope," answered the physician, noncommittally.
"I'm coming on heah, you know, to look this college ovah !" he drawled. "If it suits me, I may come heah next yeah. Got fired from three institutions out West for larking, and father thought I better go East awhile. Any fun doing out this way?" "I suppose those that go to college looking for it can find it," answered Howard noncommittally. "Well that's what I'm looking for.
"You don't think a doctor can do him much good?" "He ought to have one," said the girl, noncommittally. "Cynthia, I've noticed that Jackson was weak, too; and it's no use pretending that he's simply worked down. I believe he's worn out. Do you think mother's ever noticed it?" "I don't believe she has." "It's the one thing I can't very well make up my mind to speak to her about.
"Hello!" she returned noncommittally. Near the table, he reached into the bulging pocket and drew out a small Manila bag. The bag was partly open at the top. He tipped his head to direct one black eye upon its contents. "Say, Miss Gwendolyn," he began, "you like old Thomas, don't you?" Gwendolyn's nostrils widened and quivered, receiving the tempting fragrance of fresh-roasted peanuts.
"I'm ther man thet sent word ter ther state lawyer whar Ken Thornton war a-hidin' at." "I'm right obleeged ter ye," answered Turk, noncommittally. "I reckon they've got a right strong case ergin him." Bas Rowlett lighted his pipe. "Ye knows more erbout thet then what I does," he said, shortly. "I heers he aims ter claim thet he shot in deefence of ther woman's life."
