"Old snoozer!" said Reid. Reid was uncommonly handy as a camp-cook, far better in that respect than Mackenzie, who gladly turned the kitchen duties over to him and let him have his way. After supper they sat talking, the lusty moon lifting a wondering face over the hills in genial placidity as if sure, after all its ages, of giving the world a surprise at last.
"No, not a story," said Jud, as he worked, "but just the logical disclosures in the case of me and that pink-eyed snoozer from Mired Mule Cañada and Miss Willella Learight. I don't mind telling you.
Ask the old snoozer what's cooking in that pot. It smells bully and I'm hungry." Ned turned to the Indian and pointing to the steaming pot, said: "Nar-kee? "Lock-a-wa. "Esoka bonus che. "Humbuggus cha. The boys took turns with the big, wooden, family spoon and found the mess very good. There was another kettle of which the Indians ate freely into which Dick dipped his spoon.
They were all high rollers, and when one of them, who was a big loser, went to get his checks cashed for $1,000, the cashier pulled out the drawer and found that the bottom had been cut out, and all the money was gone. Some snoozer had crawled under the table, and with a sharp knife cut the bottom clear out.
Joan's eyes were still severe, but a question grew in them as she faced him, looking at him searchingly, as if to read what it was he hid. "Where have you been all day? Dad's been looking high and low for you." "I guess I was over at Carlson's when the old snoozer came," Reid told her, easy and careless, confident and open, in his manner. "Carlson's? What business could you "
But he was not the kind of baron that flies from danger. King James expressed himself with royal directness. "You're that old snoozer that's running sheep on this range, ain't you?" said he. "What right have you got to do it? Do you own any land, or lease any?" "I have two sections leased from the state," said old man Ellison, mildly. "Not by no means you haven't," said King James.
"Hullo, bub!" it drawled. Fox's face lighted and he extended both hands. "Well, Tally!" he cried. "You old snoozer!" The man was upward of sixty years of age, but straight and active. His features were tanned a deep mahogany, and carved by the years and exposure into lines of capability and good humour.
"To help a snoozer that was sittin' in bad luck." Faust had an odd habit of causing his fat sides to ripple like troubled water when he wished to convey the impression that he was amused; he never laughed, just the rib ripple. "What's funny?" Langdon asked, eying Jakey, with querulous disfavor.
I had always let 'em pass, just as you would a jack-rabbit; with a polite word and a guess about the weather, but no stopping to swap canteens. I never thought it was worth while to be hostile with a snoozer. And because I'd been lenient, and let 'em live, here was one going around riding with Miss Willella Learight! "An hour by sun they come loping back, and stopped at Uncle Emsley's gate.
I rode over to see her once every week for a while; and then I figured it out that if I doubled the number of trips I would see her twice as often. "One week I slipped in a third trip; and that's where the pancakes and the pink-eyed snoozer busted into the game. "That evening, while I set on the counter with a peach and two damsons in my mouth, I asked Uncle Emsley how Miss Willella was.
