The sun mus' have tetched his brains out in the desert," he explained, with rapid invention. "I don't want no run-in with a crazy man. I might have to shoot, an' Slim's been a good fr'en' of mine. So I'm going to keep out of his way for a while. I'll ride over to the railroad." Polly could not comprehend this strange behavior of Bud.
Lescott turned in surprise, while Horton surrendered himself to unrestrained and boisterous laughter. "The barbarian!" he exclaimed. "I call that snappy work. Twelve hours in New York, and a run-in with the police! I've noticed," he added, as the painter hurriedly quitted the room, "that, when you take the bad man out of his own cock-pit, he rarely lasts as far as the second round."
He'd had a little run-in with Myra about not gettin' a taxi quite quick enough for her, so I had to double the ante and explain how this was a scheme Vee was workin'. "Sure!" says he. "Anything Miss Verona says goes with me. I'll do my best."
This feller Bard has gone along the range raisin' a different brand of hell everywhere he went. He had a run-in with two gunmen, Ferguson and Conklin. He had Eldara within an ace of a riot the first night he hit the town. Mr. Drew, that chap looks the part of a killer; he acts the part of a killer; and by God, he is a killer."
His resemblance to a stuffed trout, always striking, was subtly accentuated, and Owen, an expert in these matters, felt that his fears had been well founded there was trouble in the air. Somebody had been complaining of him, and he was now about, as the phrase went, to be 'run-in'.
Then he turned, slowly, and walked into the little sitting room with an attempt at a swagger that failed to convince even himself. He leaned against the side of the door, hands in pockets. Pa Werner faced him, black-browed. "Is that right, what he said? Lembke? Huh?" "Sure it's right. I had a run-in with Hatton, an' licked him, and give'm my time. What you goin' to do about it?"
The one that was with me off Borneo when I lost these two fingers." "That run-in you had with the Malays?" returned the captain. "Yes, I remember your telling me about him. Saved your life, I think you said, when one of the beggars was going to knife you." "That's the one," confirmed Grimshaw. "He was shipwrecked later off the Horn. He left his box here with me to take care of for him."
"Yes, but Andy got back at him good and proper, and put him out of the game," remarked Ted. "It was a beaut!" "Did you and Mortimer have a run-in?" asked Dunk quickly. "Oh, no more than is usual in practice," replied Andy, lightly. "He shook me up and I came back at him." "If that's football, give me a good old-fashioned fight!" laughed Dunk. "Well, if we're going to have some fun, come on."
"I hadn't noticed." "Might give us some clew," I goes on, "as to what him and your Paw had a run-in about." "Well, open it, if you like," says Luella careless. J. Bayard and I takes it over to the window and inspects the cancel date. "June, 1894," says I. "Twenty-eight cents postage; registered too. Quite a package. Well, here goes!" "Bonds," says Steele, takin' a look.
Casey nodded appreciatively. "Every darn' town's a jinx for me," he confided resentfully. "Towns an' Casey Ryan don't agree. Towns is harder on me than sour beans." "Yeah I guess L. A.'s a jinx for you all right. I heard about your latest run-in with the cops. I wish t' heck you'd of cleaned up a few for me. I love them saps the way I like rat poison.
