"Er never had nuthin' done to him, neither," the boy continued, rocking vigorously in his little chair. "Mustn't speak so of Christ," the mother added. "Wal," said Paul, rising, "I guess I'll hang up my stockin's." "One'll do, Paul," said his sister Polly, with a knowing air. "No, 'twon't," the boy insisted. "They ain't half 's big as yours.
Langdon, who trains a horse or two for me, says this one'll win;" and he indicated the big chestnut colt that the Trainer was binding tight to a light racing saddle. "You'd better have a bit on, Mr. Porter," Crane added. "Lucretia carries my money," answered Porter in loyalty. Langdon looked up, having cinched the girth tight, and took a step toward the two men.
"I know that," Gillespie assented in the same mood. "But I'll risk dying for that one hair." "What do you want with one hair? I'll get you a handful," Redfield said. "One'll do to work the miracle I'm after." "What miracle? None o' your seamless raiment, is it?" "It's bringing a crazy girl to her senses. She's said if I fetched her a single hair of his she'd renounce him." "Oh!"
Treacherous himself and expecting treachery, Harold wisely decided that he wouldn't divulge the location of the mine, however, until all needed work was done. "As soon as we've finished what I've planned, we'll tear down his claim notices and put up our own, then go down to the recorder and record the claim," Harold went on. "Then it's ours. No one will ever guess. No one'll make any trouble."
"It's best as it is, lad," replied Johnston. "If the men found out you told me, they'd be like to think hard of you. But there's no fear of that now. And look here, Frank. After this, when you want to read your Bible in peace, and say your prayers, just come in here. No one'll bother you here, and you can sit down on the chest there and have a quiet time to yourself."
"Are you often taken this way?" "Never before, by Jing! That's what's so queer. Mebbee I pitched on my head. Mebbee I'm delirious." "Mebbee you always were half-baked. Looks like it, I must say. Give me the case." "Any more sisters, Bud? I reckon not. The mould must ha' been broke when Miss Sadie was born. One'll make trouble enough for we men. Is there another, Bud?" "No."
"You mean that all us chaps had cut out and left the old man, and there wasn't a cent of money to pay anybody, and no one but Pros Passmore would 'a' been fool enough to do such hard work without pay. Well, I reckon you're about right. You and me come of a mighty poor nation of folks; but I'm goin' to make my pile and have my share, if lookin' out for number one'll do it."
"T'anks, mum," said the Flopper again, "but I couldn't. You needs it, an' I can get along widout it. Dey're stallin' on me, but I can get dere by myself if any one'll show me de way." "I'll show you, mister," piped a shrill voice and young Holmes on his crutch hopped into the circle. "I'll show you, mister an' 'tain't fur, neither." "Swipe me!" muttered the Flopper, as he surveyed the lad.
You ken jest help me, boy, to locate the place, an' when we find it we'll sort o' seal it up, an' you ken hide the key away in your heart so no one'll ever find it. Are you goin' to help, Jeff?" For answer the gun was abruptly withdrawn. Then Bud saw the stricken man's hand dash across his eyes, and, as it passed, he realized the moisture of tears upon the back of it.
Some one'll turn up, sure." "When they do, my man," Peg said quickly, "don't be takin' any credit to yourself, 'cause you hadn't ought to take credit for the plannin' your sharp brains do." As he shook his head, smiling, she left him quickly and shut the door. Thus for one year Jinnie went forth in the morning to gather her shortwood, and to sell it in the afternoon.
