Was it any one we knows?" "You remember Bauer?" "That rotter what was found guilty of spyin' for the enemy? Yes, I knew the blighter, the traitor?" "Well, he's dead. When his plane fell on fire, I had to drop down in a shell-hole back yonder. Bauer and his pilot had fallen near there just before. He was cussing us all out, Boche fashion.
He was a patrol guard, on a visiting tour of the outlying stations. His news was peaceful enough. "I don't care a cuss how long the old man keeps the funks," he said, with a cheery laugh. "I give it you right here, this job's a snap. I ride around like a gen'l spyin' fer enemies. Guess Red Mask has his uses." "So's most folk," responded Arizona, "but 'tain't allus easy to locate."
Some informer must hev set them men ter spyin' round fer moonshine." "Oh, surely nobody wouldn't dare," urged one of the group, uneasily; for the identity of an informer was masked in secrecy, and his fate, when discovered, was often gruesome. "They couldn't hev noticed the clash of them jimmyjohns, nohow," declared the negligent Watt, nonchalantly. "But namin' me fur the dead one!
"Do you mean to tell me as you go about spyin' after wheer my little wench puts her letters to her sweetheart? Why, fie, fie, ma'am! That's a child's trick, not a bit like a growd-up woman." Fuller was astonished, but Rachel's amazement transcended his own. "And you tell me, John Fuller, that you know the character of this man?" "Know his character!" cried Fuller.
Thar's some that s'picions I know whar ye air now, 'n' they'll be spyin', 'n' mebbe hit'll git me into trouble, too, aidin' 'n' abettin' a man to git away who air boun' to the law." The two were sitting on the earthen floor of the cave before a little fire, and Rome, with his hands about his knees and his brows knitted, was staring into the yellow blaze.
If you gives me your promise not to meddle with her at all I can't mak' out how you come to be acquainted; not to try to get her to be meetin' you and if you'd 'a seen her when she left, you would when did ye meet? last grass, wasn't it? your word as a gentleman not to be writing letters, and spyin' after her I'll have her back at once. Back she shall come!" "Give her up!" cried Richard.
"Nivir a worrd wud they say, but ye kin bet yer Uncle Sammy's not spyin' around afther people fer nuthin'. They searched the store aftherworrds, but nary a thing cud they find." So that was the explanation of the now vacant store which had been so much a part of the life of Tom Slade and his poor, shiftless family.
"I haint neither," cried the girl, angrily stamping her bare foot, "I does love him, but I haint in love with nobody, 'ceptin' grandpap." "Yo' submitted ter his takin' ye in his arms an' kissin' ye," burst out the mountaineer. "Judd Amos, yo'r a mean, spyin' sneak, an' I hates ye!" stormed Rose, while her eyes filled with angry tears.
"Wh what what would I be spyin' on you for? Wh what reason would I have for doin' it?" "No good reason; because I have no intention of visiting our new neighbors none whatever. That being understood, perhaps you'll shut the door and keep it shut." Seth looked sheepish and guilty. "Well," he said, after a moment's reflection, "I beg your pardon. But I couldn't help feelin' kind of uneasy.
"Then," continued the Orator, "you wasn't one of the uneasy kind, always fussin' and cussin' round. You wasn't always spyin' to see we didn't take home a cross-tail or a hundred-weight of cast-iron in our pants' pockets, or go to swiggin' hot metal out of the ladles on the sly." Here an enormous laugh requited Bill's joke. Perry prompted, the Chair banged with his bolt and cried, "Order!"
