But you started on me, an' so I'll be polite an' lead off. In th' first place, with all this tow-row, the fish be all gone to bottom; there's not one'll take hook by day nor net by night. An' next, with a parcel o' reservists pickin' up the gunnery they've forgot, for a week or so the firin' is apt to be flippant.
Why not put her in there? No one'll ever think to look in such a place." Down by the water's edge, where he pointed, lay a big boiler such as is used on stationary engines, with its end lapped by the waves. With a hasty expression of approval, the rough-neck picked Elaine up bodily, still struggling vainly, and together they carried her, bound and gagged, to the tank.
He followed her into the little living-room adorned by the trophies of his earlier achievements with gun and rifle, and sat down at the table, where some food lay covered by a clean white cloth. "No one'll ever look after me as you've done, Jinny," he said, as he lifted the cloth and saw the palatable dish ready for him. Then he remembered again about to-morrow and the Dog Nose Rapids.
He hadn't a chance, of course, with one of us on each side, and Starlight threatening to shoot him if he raised a finger. 'Let's put him in the logs, says Jim. 'My word! just for a lark; turn for turn. Fair play, young fellow. You're being "run in" yourself now. Don't make a row, and no one'll hurt you.

"I'll set you a better toast than that," offered the bondsman. "'T ain't possible," cried one of the crowd. The servant raised his glass and with an ironical smile said: "Here 's to liberty and fair play, gentlemen." "That 's a toast we can all drink," responded Bagby, "just as often as some one'll pay for the liquor."
An innkeeper led me out the back way, gave me bread and water, and said: 'Take this road to Bane; it's sixteen miles. If you make it some one'll give you a lift North. I walked all night, and all the next day. Then I wandered on till I dropped here where you found me." "You missed the road to Bane," said Naab. "This is the trail to White Sage.
He's wronged me me, I tell you, and, by God, he shall smart for it!" "Oh, if it is a personal quarrel," murmured François, with the air of not desiring to intrude in a matter which concerned two gentlemen alone. "Every one'll know it in a few days," said Benham, "and then Mr. Medland's bust up, and all the lot of you with him. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, friend Gaspard."
And before he could cover himself completely with the trunk of the tree a second bullet whipped through the leaves so close to his eyes that he felt the wind of it. Across the grade the Indian jerked in his rifle with an oath and ran to the shack. "Dang rotten toy!" he sputtered, slamming the borrowed gun on the table. "Gi' me my own. I got two cartridges left. One'll do.
But the worst cat-o'-nine-tails for me is the disgrace. To have myself pointed at, 'There goes the Deserter' He was a private in the Carbineers, and he deserted. No one'll say, 'Ay, but he clung to the idea of his old schoolmate when abroad, and came back loving him, and trusted him, and was deceived." Van Diemen produced a spasmodic cough with a blow on his chest. Anisette was weeping.
