I was a wild divil them days when me an' Tommy Pepper was side pardners. But a yaller snake with a green head crawled out of a bottle of 'im once and that there was where Casey Ryan says good-by to booze. If I hadn't quit 'im then, I'd sure as hell quit 'im now. After this performance, Mr. Nolan, Casey Ryan's goin' to look twice into his coffee pot.
Oh! the agony of them several minutes, while these thoughts wuz rampagin through my destracted brain. Oh! if pardners only knew the agony they bring onto their devoted companions, by their onguarded and thoughtless acts, and attentions to other females, gin without proper reseerch and precautions, it would draw their liniments down into expressions of shame and remorse.
While the company was gathering, the fiddlers began to tune up, which sent a thrill through us. When Ben gave the word, "Secure your pardners for the first quadrille," Miller led out the bride to the first position in the best room, Jack's short leg barring him as a participant. This was the signal for the rest of us, and we fell in promptly.
"I don't know Dave as well as I do you," said Jack. "Certainly he ought to be informed, so that he can be on the watch, too. Can he be trusted?" "You can count on Dave," said Tom. "We been pardners for years. That bow-legged son o' Satan an' me been through lots o' ruckuses in our time. If there's any shootin' to be done, count us in. You know how I kin shoot." "I ought to know," said Jack.
Inasmuch as I had just packed out from camp in a loose pair of rubber boots, and was nursing two gall blisters, I did not feel called upon to emulate this energy of arbitration, particularly in bare feet. "That black malamoot is a walking delegate for strife," he remarked, returning. "Sometime I'll lose my temper and that's the kind of pardners me and Justus Morrow was."
But they didn't do any good to "one on us," nor to Miss Meechim, either; she's sound in doctrine, though kinder weak and disagreeable in spots. Well, we found that this family lived in splendid style, and the husband and all his pardners acted happy whether they wuz or not.
"Without saying any more, we went out after supper and set on the railroad track. We had been pardners too long not to know what was going on in each other's mind. "'I reckon you understand, says Paisley, 'that I've made up my mind to accrue that widow woman as part and parcel in and to my hereditaments forever, both domestic, sociable, legal, and otherwise, until death us do part.
"An' me asking you if you had fifty dollars!" he exclaimed. "You carry your mine right around with you, don't you?" "Huh, I guess so," muttered the dentist. "I I just sold a claim I had up in El Dorado County," he added. At five o'clock on a magnificent May morning the "pardners" jogged out of Keeler, driving the burro before them.
They seemed never to be able to get enough of one tune which he called "Honest John," and which he played in his own way, accompanied by a chant which he meant, without a doubt, to be musical. "HON-ers tew your pardners tee teedle deedle dee dee dee dee! Stand up straight an' put on your style! Right an' left four "
"Then, by thunder, I ain't taking it! I'm no coyote, to round on my pardners." "I give it to you straight. He means murder." Perspiration poured from the man's face. "I'll light out of the country." The sheriff shook his head. "You'd never get away alive. Besides, I want you for holding up the Limited. The safest place for you is in jail, and that's where I'm going to put you. Drop that gun!
