"Nothing particular," pursued Zack, undauntedly, "except that it's odd you never brought them out before; and odder still that you should tell Blyth, and never say a word here to me, about getting them for a woman " "What of her?" broke out Mat, rising to his feet with flushed face and threatening eyes, and making the room ring again as he grounded his rifle on the floor.
"Perhaps it would have been best," replied Frank. On the way home that night the two met Pep. The urchin had evidently been waiting for Richard, for he ran up at once. "I've got something for you, Mr. Dare," he exclaimed, and shifting his bundle of papers he drew out a silver dollar from his ragged clothes. "Here is one of de dollars I owes yer. I'll have de odder one in a few days, I guess."
"Vell, Kentucky, tell me dis: von man kill von odder man, Shudge Lynch hang dot man?" "If the evidence is strong enough yes, suh." "An' the evidence in this here case is strong enough to hang a dozen men, Jan," broke in Red Bill. "Nefer you mind, Bill. I talk mit you next. Now von anodder ding I ask Kentucky. If Shudge Lynch hang not der man, vot den?"
"I must go and bring in the boat," he replied, bestirring himself as if some spell was at an end. "There will be a storm to-night, and I should sleep the sounder if she was safe ashore." "I'll come with you," I said, glad to get away from the seaweed fire. It was not quite dark, and the cliffs stood out against the sky in odder and more grotesque shapes than by daylight.

"She has a rule in dis house dat nobody can use huh chiny or fo'ks or spoons who ain't boa'ding heah, and de odder day when yuh asked me to bring up a knife and fo'k she ketched me coming upstairs, and she says, 'Where yuh goin' wid all dose things, Annie? Ah said, 'Ah'm just goin' up to Miss Laura's room with dat knife and fo'k. Ah said, 'Ah'm goin' up for nothin' at all, Mis' Farley, she jest wants to look at them, Ah guess. She said, 'She wants to eat huh dinner wid 'em, Ah guess. Ah got real mad, and Ah told her if she'd give me mah pay Ah'd brush right out o' here; dat's what Ah'd do, Ah'd brush right out o' here."
That would have been an odd mixture for the same army; but we have an odder, when the neat-whiskered clerk from behind the dry-goods counter in this city the rough fisherman from Cape Cod the lumberman from the forests of Maine and the long, gangling squirrel-hunters from the wilds of Wisconsin, all meet together to fight for the same cause."
