"Some twenty-five years ago," Cappy continued, "you entered my employ as a spindle-legged office boy. To-day you are my general manager, and a rattling good one, too, even if we do have our little run-in together every so often. We mustn't pay any attention to that, however, for a fight is good for a man, Skinner.
"Well what?" McHale demanded. "Just as well you don't go into the bar right now," Shiller explained. "You had a sort of a run-in with a feller named Cross, hadn't you you or Casey? He's in there with a couple of his friends hard-lookin' nuts. He's some tanked, and shootin' off his mouth. We'll have Billy bring us what we want where it's cooler." McHale kicked a post meditatively three times.
Their springs were promptly manned, and by the time that the schooner's batteries were again loaded our antagonists had brought their broadsides to bear upon us. Once more was our double-shotted broadside hurled upon the foe, and then, before our lads had time to run-in their guns, we received the combined fire of the brig and the brigantine in return.
"I've already had one run-in with an I.W.W. I know tough customers when I see them. These foreigners are the kind I don't want near me. And if I see one trying to fire the wheat I'll shoot his leg off." "I'm inclined to think that Uncle Sam would not deplore your shooting a little higher.... Dorn, you're fine! You're all I heard you were! Shake hands!"
"You mean you rounded up the rustlers?" asked Nort, eagerly. "No, what was left of the steers," answered Snake. "Guess we wouldn't be back here alone that is, just us two, if we'd had a run-in with the rascals. We didn't see 'em, but we did find traces of 'em. What are you going to do, Bud? Get on their trail?"
Before going out with his gun, he wrote a letter to my father, and sent it by a trustworthy blackfellow. My father got the letter about ten o'clock at night; and he had a horse run-in at once, and started off for the station through a raging thunderstorm, arriving next day only in time to see his friend's body before it was moved to the house. My father was terribly cut-up about it.
But don't let's talk about it until to-morrow. I've gotten over some of my fit of nerves, and I want to lose it for good." "Same here. That little run-in did us good." The two chums were back again in their room, and Andy brought out his catching glove, which he proceeded to mend. Quiet was settling down over the quadrangle and in the dormitories about the big, elm-shaded square.
But say, I came over to tell you something." "What is it, Ben?" questioned Dave. "Come on outside." The boys walked out into the garden and down to the summerhouse, where they proceeded to make themselves comfortable. "It's about Nat Poole," continued Ben Basswood. "I guess you had some kind of a run-in with him, didn't you?" "Not exactly," answered Roger.
Followin' the nicker we comes surgin' in on our prey, an' it's over in a minute. Thar's two Mexicans, our criminal trackin' up with a pard that mornin'. But of course we-alls knows he's thar long hours back by the tracks, so it ain't no s'prise. "This yere second Mexican is downed on the run-in.
"I'll introduce you, Jim, to the fellow who runs this engine." The new engineer was a short and very solid man of quiet demeanor; he looked Jim over thoroughly in a brief moment. "Glad to know you, Darlington. Hear you had a run-in with that Bear Valley gang, Bob. Stole the pilot off your engine, eh?" And the engineer gave a silent laugh that shook his whole system.
