He moved forward as he spoke, but Shock interposed. "I think that is enough, Mr. Stanton," he said. "Let the matter drop now." The boy turned quickly, and looking steadily into Shock's face, began in a quiet, even voice, "Mr. ah " "Macgregor," supplied Shock. "Mr. Macgregor, you are a stranger. In this country in a matter of this kind we never allow interference."
"Man, man, take heed. Yon's a dangerous game, I'm thinking," murmurs Shock's mother anxiously, to the amazed amusement of Lloyd, who replies, "Why, Mrs. Macgregor, you seem to know the game as well as the rest of us." "Ay, Hamish has often showed me the working of the screw, and it is not to be depended upon in a place like yon."
"Well, I surmise it would be difficult, but I wish somethin' would happen." Ike had his wish; for, when one day his business took him to the Fort, the stage brought a stranger asking the way to Mr. Macgregor's house, and immediately Ike undertook to convoy him thither. It was The Don. Shock's shout of welcome did Ike good, but the meeting between the two men no one saw.
It contained all the elements of a great speech. But he of course well he sees only one thing The West." "That's right," said little Brown, who had come in at Shock's earnest invitation, and because he was anxious to hear about the new country from one who was coming to be recognised as an authority, "he sees one thing sure enough. I say, what a drummer he'd make!
Corblay was dead, why in blue blazes didn't you or some other woman in this heartless village go down there and comfort that child? I've asked three of your neighbors already, but they're washin' or dustin' or cookin' or somethin'." "I was so terrible shocked like when I heard it " "Well, if the shock's over, for decency's sake, Mrs.
Day by day, however, in response to Shock's request he would read something of the story of that great loving ministration to the poor, and sick, and needy, and of infinite compassion for the sinful and outcast, till one day, when Shock had been allowed for the first time to sit in his chair, and The Don was about to read, Shock asked for the story of the debtors, and after The Don had finished he took from his pocket Brown's letter and said: "Now, Don, forgive me.
"Indeed, then, he's too small a man for you, and as to myself, we can see about that later," said Shock quietly. He closed his fingers on the wrist he held. The hand gripping Perault's throat opened quickly, allowing the Frenchman to fall to the floor. Swinging round with a hoarse cry, the big Irishman aimed a terrific blow at Shock's head.
Quickly and silently, as he gave me a comical look, he unhitched a chain or two, unbuckled the belly-band, and let the shafts fly up. The result was that Shock's head went bang against the tail-board, and then his legs went over it, and he came out with a curious somersault, and stared about only half awake, and covered with straw and sacks.
He peered curiously into Shock's face as if he found him an interesting study. "No," said Shock seriously, "you see, I couldn't drink it never did in my life." The old man drew nearer to him. "Say," touching him with his forefinger on the chest, "if I could only be sure you'd keep fresh I'd put you in a case. They'd come a mighty long way in this country to see you, you bet."
All boys has troubles that they feels bad at the time, but take 'em altogether they're as happy as can be. Shock's happy enough his way or he wouldn't have been singing all night atop of the load. There, you're a boy, and just you be thankful that you are, my lad; being a boy's about as good a thing as there is." We had nearly finished our breakfast when Ike turned on me sharply.
