"Did you say that Beulah Rutherford sent you up here?" asked Roy. "She asked me to come. Yis." "Why?" "I can only guess her reasons. She didn't want you to come and she couldn't ask Ned for fear he would gun the fellow. So she just picked on a red-headed runt of an Irishman." "While we're so close, let's ride across to Huerfano Park," suggested Dave. "I haven't been there in twenty years."
It was addressed to Slim in Silver City, New Mexico, in a childish, unformed hand. He took out the picture and found himself smiling into the eyes that smiled up into his. He knew intuitively that it was Slim's sister, yet the resemblance was the faintest, and there was not a trace of his meanness in her look. He had been right in his conjecture, Slim was "the runt of something good."
He seized the horses' bits and began to lead them in the reversing circle. "Hold on there!" cried Silver Jack. "You let them horses alone! You damn little runt! Let them alone I say!" The robe was kicked aside, and Silver Jack prepared to descend. Richard Darrell twisted his feet out of his snow-shoe straps. "You can't take that whiskey into camp," he repeated simply.
Rabbit shook his head sadly and put his hand to his eyes. "Well, well, well!" he exclaimed after a while. "Can't talk! But I might have known it. The family's gone to seed. I'm glad I'm not there to see it all. A neighbor here and there does no harm, but when people began to crowd in I concluded to move, and I'm glad I did.

The chosen occupation of each was physical research, and in that field Arcot could well have called Morey "runt", for Arcot had only one competitor his father.

"This is neither a backwoods barroom nor a hunting camp, and I want to assure you right now, Hamilton, that " But in comes young Blair again.

It is one of the wonders of medicine to see a sickly runt of a child at fifteen or sixteen develop in a few months into a very presentable young man or girl under the influence of salvarsan and mercury. A few syphilitic children seem robust and healthy from the start.
"I don't know who put them there," I denied hastily, "except that he was a pale little runt of a German, pretending to be a thief, who will wish he had died young if I ever see him again." An inspector had just passed my traps through with bored indifference.
