He arose with yellow yolks streaming from him and covered with down, feathers and eggshell, that made him look like a spectacled penguin himself. Rastus fared no better and was being beaten and pecked unmercifully when the boys rushed down to the rescue. "Fire your revolvers in the air!" cried Frank. "Don't kill the poor things."
An' to t'ink dat Samuel 'Rastus Washington Jackson Johnson, mah own second cousin, should try t' rob mah chicken coop! Oh, won't I gib it t' him!" "Are you sure, Rad?" asked Tom. "Suah? Sartin I'se suah, Massa Tom," was the answer as the startled colored man on the screen stared at the small audience. "I'd know dat face ob his'n anywhere."
Fur's I'm concerned well, Jabez Hedges told me yesterday that Rastus Young told him he cal'lated he'd have to be droppin' in at the store some of these nights to buy some rubber boots and new ileskins. We sold him the ones he's got four years ago and he ain't paid for 'em yet. No, no, Mary-'Gusta, don't you worry about that sacrifice.
Can he talk, mother?" "Joe, you chuckle-head!" said Adam, who was sixteen, and knew most things. "How can he talk, when he hasn't got any teeth?" "Uncle 'Rastus hasn't got any teeth," retorted Joseph, "and he talks like a buzz-saw." "Hush, Joseph!" said Mother Golden, reprovingly. "Your Uncle 'Rastus is a man of years." "Yes, mother!" said Joseph, meekly. "Baby has got a tooth, too, Adam!"
In law you always have a chance to get into politics and be the president of your ward club or something like that, and from that on it's an easy matter to go on up. You can trust me to know the wires." And so the tenor of his boastful talk ran on, his mother a little bit awed and not altogether satisfied with the new 'Rastus that had returned to her.
"You mean did Keller tell me?" he said, surprised. "Yes. 'Rastus was in the live oak and heard all you said." "No. He didn't tell me that. We neither of us think it was Phil. It couldn't be, for he was riding with you at the time. But he found your knife there by the dead cow. Now, how did it come there? You let Phil have the knife. Had he lent his knife to some one?" "I don't know."
The two boys were first on the field, and, without waiting for the scantling which old Sandy had grasped, seized the creature on the side, between the flippers, and lifted it. But they had barely raised it from the sand when the great fore flipper, being clear, struck the unfortunate Piffney a sounding blow, knocking him against Rastus, who lost his hold, and both went down in confusion.
"Was that all?" he asked, with a sigh. "Yup. No, 'twa'n't neither, come to think of it. Rastus Young's wife, come in with her two young-ones and bought some shoes and hats for 'em." "Did she pay cash?" demanded Captain Shadrach sharply. "No; she said charge 'em up, so I done it. Say, ain't you comin' in pretty soon? It's 'most my supper time."
"Ah, Rastus," cried the professor, highly flattered; "if I can only catch the fur-bearing pollywog, then I shall, indeed, have some claim on fortune and fame, till then let us hunt penguin eggs." In the meantime the boys were busy examining the motor.
"Them's de mos' good fur nuffingest niggahs I ever did see," remarked Mr. Rastus Johnson that was his name with undisguised contempt. Nevertheless by noon the canoes had all been leaded and the farewells to the kind M. Desplaines and his family said.
