Meat!" and louder; then the centre of attraction came in view a rough, dirty little man with a push-cart; while straggling behind him were a score of Cats that joined in his cry with a sound nearly the same as his own. Every fifty yards, that is, as soon as a goodly throng of Cats was gathered, the push-cart stopped.
And where but an instant before the street's jostling humanity had been immersed in its wrangling with the push-cart men who lined the curb, the carts were now deserted by every one save their owners, whose caution exceeded their curiosity and the crowd grew momentarily larger in front of the house.
Looking over and past the locality where, more than a year thereafter, the town of Denver was laid out, we saw, during several weeks, the summit of Pike's Peak, hundreds of miles away. One evening when we were going into camp we were overtaken by a man trundling a push-cart.
No sooner had her father gone in than, selecting the largest cabbage, she started off with it, putting it in a small push-cart, as it was so large as to be too heavy and inconvenient to carry. It was somewhat late to call, but the evening was so delightful that Wilhelm Klingenspiel could hardly have gone to bed.
She confessed that she loved no one else she had never, poor child, known anyone else to love; she admitted the allurements of the larger flat and the strong hand always ready for the twins, was delighted to go with him to lectures at the Educational Alliance when her father could be aroused to responsible charge of the twins, rejoiced when he prospered in the world and exchanged the push-cart for a permanent fruit-stand she even assisted at its decoration but to marry him she was afraid.
She wanted to send me home in the car, but I would not have that, on account of the push-cart men and the babies in my street; I got out and walked my heart beating fast, my blood leaping with exultation. I reached home, and there on the bureau was the picture but behold, how changed!
The twins soon came to associate the vision of Aaron Kastrinsky with the idea of restraint and of stern virtue, for on the way to the synagogue he walked by Leah's side looking strangely incomplete without his green push-cart and drove them by the sheer force of his will to walk decorously in front.
His push-cart was next to mine, but he sold or tried to sell hardware, while my cart was laden with other goods; and as he was, moreover, as much of a failure as I was, there was no reason why we should not be friends. So we would spend the day in heart-to-heart talks of our hard luck and homesickness.
"It'll take two like you to do that," returned the woman, in a spiteful voice, swearing foully at the same time. At this a cheer arose from the crowd. A negro with a push-cart came along at the moment. "Here! I want you," called the policeman. The negro pretended not to hear, and the policeman had to threaten him before he would stop.
Barth, oddly enough, for a while had been connected with the Mormons, at the age of 13, a new arrival from Posen, East Prussia, joining his uncle in a push-cart caravan to Salt Lake. Later he was in San Bernardino, there remaining after the 1857 exodus, to go to La Paz, Arizona, in 1862. In 1864 he carried mail on the route from Albuquerque to Prescott, as contractor.
