There was a hurried consultation indoors, and then Roscoe bravely ventured out to the sidewalk. "Are you shot, 'Rast?" he asked in trembling tones. "No; I'm just wounded. Is Rosalie in there?" "Yep. She's " "I guess I'll go in, then. Dern it! It's a long walk from our house over here. I guess I'll stay all night. If I don't get better to-morrow I'll have to stay longer. I ought to be nursed, too."
Maybe he is," almost wailed 'Rast; and Anderson felt sorry for him as he ambled away from the gate and its love-sick guardian. The Spelling-Bee Young Mr. Higgins found his companion bubbling over with vivacity. Her pretty chin was in the air and every word bore the promise of a laugh.
'Rast could hear 'em talkin'. She said good-bye to the schoolhouse forever, an' the feller kissed her a couple of times. 'Rast pretty nigh swore out loud at that. Then she said she'd leave a note in her desk fer the trustees, resignin' her job, er whatever she called it. He heard her read the note to the man, an' it said somethin' about goin' away unexpected to git married.
"Look here, 'Rast," said Squiers, doggedly, "you're making a tool of me in this campaign. Why should I be used and abused just to elect Erastus Hopkins, I'd like to know. You sacrificed me when I might have been Sheriff." "You're well paid for that, Doc." "And now you want me to put my neck in a noose for your advantage. I won't do it, 'Rast, and that's a fact." Mr. Hopkins coughed.
And say, ain't there some chance that he did the killing? Didn't he say he was going to murder that city chap? Well, supposing he did. We're on the wrong track, ain't we?" "Doggone you, Harry, that don't fit in with my deductions," wailed Anderson. "I wish you'd let me alone. 'Rast may have done the killin', but it's our place to find the body, ain't it?
She hid the ring in a vase on the mantle and they found it after she was gone." "Well, well! I didn't know that about her," said the man, looking with admiration at Mrs. Hopkins. "That's why I told 'Rast not to have any truck with her, when she came here bright and early one morning and asked for work." "Oh, she came here, did she?" "While I was gettin' breakfast.
He was also, positive that there were three figures in the front seat! Who was the extra person? was the question that flashed into the minds of the listeners. A small boy came to the schoolhouse at nine o'clock in the morning with 'Rast Little's new derby hat. He had picked it up at the roadside not far from the schoolhouse and in the direction taken by the Farnsworth party.
There's some shrewd politician behind them, I know, or they wouldn't have nailed us up in our coffins with such business-like celerity." "Talk sense, Archie. What have they done? What can they do? Pah! Girls!" "Don't make a mistake, 'Rast. That's what I did, before I understood. When I heard that three girls were electioneering for Forbes I just laughed. Then I made a discovery.
Ed Higgins and 'Rast Little observed with sinking hearts that it was Mr. Reddon whom she led forward by the hand, and they cursed him inwardly for the look he gave her because she blushed beneath it. "You don't live in Boggs City," remarked Mr. Crow, appointing himself spokesman. "I c'n deduce that, 'cause you're carrying satchels an' valises." "Mr.
She did not participate largely in the prosperity of her husband, and often declared she was "worked to death," although there were no children to care for. "When did those Forbes banners go up?" asked Mr. Hopkins, irritably. "I dunno, 'Rast. I don't keep track o' such things. But all the town was out to the girls' meetin' last night, an' I went along to watch the fun." "What girls' meeting?"
