I got a good notion to throw 'em down cold and go with the Postal people." "Never mind! I'll blow you to an ice cream after work," consoled Boogles. "Ice cream!" Jimmie Time was contemptuous. "I want the free, wild life of the boundless peraries. I want b'ar steaks br'iled on the glowing coals of the camp fire. I want to be Little Sure Shot, trapper, scout, and guide "
Mebbe I was afraid she'd throw it at me when I was making my getaway. It'll be good for cracking nuts if we find any on the peraries. I bet they have nuts!" "All right, then. You can carry it if you want to, pard." Jimmie thrust the bundle into Boogies' arms and valiantly led a desperate way to the North River. Boogies panted under his burden as they dodged impatient taxicabs.
"If you're going into the wild and lawless life of the peraries with me you got to learn to get things. Jesse James or Morgan's men could get me that axe and that grub, and not make one-two-three of it." "Them guys had practice and likely they never had to go against their stepmothers." "Do I go alone, then?" "Well, now " "Will you or won't you?" Boogies drew a fateful breath.
I must have the free, wild life of the plains, the canter after the Texas steers, and the fierce battles with my peers. For me the boundless, the glorious West!" "Chee! It must be something grand that wild life!" interrupted Boogles. "That's the real stuff the cowboy and trapper on them peraries, hunting bufflers and Injuns. I seen a film " Jimmie Time frowned at this.
"We got money enough to start. Then we just strike out for the peraries." "Like the guy in the story!" Boogies glowed at the adept who before his very eyes was turning a beautiful dream into stark reality. He was praying that his own courage to face it would endure. "You hurry home," commanded Jimmie, "and cop an axe and all the grub you can lay your hands on."
