"I haven't got the job yet," laughed Bill. "But ye will. Owld Appleton'll be glad enough not havin' to come thrapsin' into th' woods ivery month or so durin' th' winther."
Maybe he wasn't failin' roight, or th' liquor didn't look good enough fer um. Oi'll thry um agin." Bill threw off the blankets and sat up on the edge of the bunk. "That grub smells good, Daddy," he sniffed. "Aye, an 'twill tashte good, too, av ye fly at ut befure ut gits cold.

'Moike, sez she, 'Moike Delaney, git a boat or Oi'll be drowned, an' niver a boat in sight.
"Divvil a bit av it!" cried Barney Mulloy. "Gallup is me owld side parthner. Av he loses, Oi'll divvy wid him." "But he mustn't lose," said Frank. "Philanthropists in Wellsburg are endeavoring to raise money to found a hospital for consumptives. There's an ideal location some ten miles from Wellsburg. If you win, Gallup, would you donate your winnings to the hospital fund?"
