"Yes," said I, in spite, perhaps in consequence, of this interruption.
Instantly there was a rush of feet and a scrunch of wheels. The "tugs" pulled taut, and the gush of eager nostrils hissed like steam upon the still air. There was a shout of farewell from the onlookers, and the gambler turned in his seat. "So long, fellers," he cried. "I'm makin' Spawn City by daylight to-morrer sure."

Time passed on, from time to time, glad spring, and bobolinks, and light underwear succeeded stern winter, frost, and heavy flannels, and yet he cometh not, she sayed.
