Curly, you and me has got to make a change I'm afraid I've got to sell her out lock, stock and barrel." "And not be a cowman no more?" says I. He nods. I look round to see him close. He was plumb sober, and his face was solemn, like it was the time I caught him looking in the trunk. "That irrigation syndicate is after me again," says he. "Well, what of it?" says I. "Let 'em go some place else.
"Well, Dig wasn't a bit chesty the first day that he was ordered to shoot the sun," Dave laughed. "Dig took the sextant, and made a prize shot, or thought he did. After he had got the sun, plumb at noon, he lowered the instrument and made his reading most carefully. Then he went into the chart room, and got busy with his calculations. The longer Dig worked the worse his head ached.
The President and Plumb talked a minute or two about some public matter, and then we left. "Now," said Plumb, "we'll go and see 'Uncle Billy'." Sherman was then the General of the Army, and had his office, as I now remember, in the War Department building, near the White House. On entering his office, we found him seated at a desk, writing.
"Why," he answered genially, "my game is holding up bootleggers and crooked cops. I'm just guessing, now," he added dryly, "but I'm tolerably good at guessing; a man's got to be, these days." "A man's got to do better than guess with Casey Ryan," Casey remarked ominously. "The last man that guessed Casey Ryan, guessed 'im plumb wrong."
Why, now I come to think of it, my wife clipped a lot of my vices off years ago, and since that my daughter has succeeded in knocking off all the others, all but my cigars, my cocktails and my golf. I'm just plumb crazy on the game and I play it whenever I can. Maybe it's because I used to play it when I was a little chap, away back in England years and years ago."
Yet he would not for the world have missed the queer little thrills that raced through him. "That's plumb foolishness," he said. "Yes, it is not. Think I haven't heard all about it? How you dragged Jake Houck into the willows right spang from among the Utes? How you went to the river an' got him water? How you went for help when everybody thought you'd be killed?
I was plumb ashamed of myself, the way you worked on that back fire. You had me going, for a while. You're just tired out, is all ails you. You want to hurry up and drink this, before it gets cold. Come on. I'm liable to feel, insulted if you pass up my cooking this way."
Or it don't hurt any to graze a little on all the ranges, he says. And he sent me to public school and brought me up pretty well, so you can see I'm not plumb wicked. Now after you get me coming, I may be easier than you think." She resolved to pray for some special gift to meet his needs. If he were not really sinful, there was all the more reason why he should be saved into the Kingdom.
Stewart went to town next day for the wedding dress, the gayest plaid outside of Caledonia. But Gale has lots of sense and is going to wear it. I have it almost finished, and while it doesn't look just like a Worth model, still it looks plumb good for me to have made. The boys are going up after Zebulon Pike, and Mr. Stewart is going after "Mis' Lane."
Dixie Hart was right; I wasn't toting fair with you, and I want to tell you to-night, Alfred, that I see my error, and and I am plumb sorry." He turned upon her resolutely. She was looking down, and he fancied she was about to shed such tears as she had often shed early in their married life when Dick Wrinkle's name was mentioned.
