Right down the street I can rent a little shop-room, and a feller and me has been talking of startin' a ice-cream saloon for the summer yes, I can quit if the Boss don't like it. I work all day, and half the night; I can't keep up my system with a single drink without there's a kick a-coming; and now if I can't have a little literature when it's right in the house, it's a pity.
"Have everything all right at startin', Pete," said he, "and you'll be all right for the day. You'll have plenty o' time. The rebels'll wait for us." "Aint them them, right out there?" asked Pete nervously, pointing to the banks of blackness out in front. "No; them's the same old cedar thickets they wuz when you went to bed.
Parcher, an' Willie didn't have any right to at all, but mamma couldn't find 'em; an' she rummidged an' rummidged 'most all next day an' pretty near every day since then an' never did find 'em, until don't you believe I saw Willie inside of 'em only last night! He was startin' over to your house to see Miss Pratt in 'em!
"I took out naturalization papers myself," replied the Major good-humoredly. "My name is Prouty Stephen Douglas Prouty. You'll prob'ly hear of me if you stay in the country. The fact is, I'm thinkin' of startin' a town and namin' it Prouty." "Shoo you don't say so!" In polite inquiry, "Whur?" "Thur!" Mr. Teeters looked a little blank as he stared at the town site indicated.
"That's the Laura's whistle. She's startin' soon. Goin' to see her off? Come along." Jacob Welse pulled on his bearskin coat and mittens, and they passed through the outer offices into the main store. So large was it, that the tenscore purchasers before the counters made no apparent crowd. Many were serious-faced, and more than one looked darkly at the head of the company as he passed.
"What you mean? They're after me?" He failed to see that his informer was in a dripping perspiration and hardly able to stand from fright. He saw nothing beyond a dawning fear that he had gone too far. "You mean they're already started, or talkin' 'bout startin'?" he asked again. "Don't ask me no moh," Tusk wailed. "It ain't decent to speak of!
"We're all right," said the Bishop, in low tones. "The cusses have been here once unless they happened to see us. They're startin' in now down on the flat to make sure no poor sick critter is left in bed in any of them houses. Now's your chance if you want to git up to Daggin's. Go out the back way, follow up the alleys, and go in at the back when you git there.
"They'd never be startin' the line from anywheres but the middle." Holding the compass in his hand that he might make no mistake, and trembling with the excitement of one about to make a great discovery, he paced to the northward, stretching his short legs to the longest possible stride, until he counted twenty paces.
It dawned upon him that Blenham must have given emphatic orders and that Blenham had the trick of exacting obedience. "Hold him here," shouted Hodges, and being a man of little spirit he withdrew hastily under Steve's eyes, thrusting another man in front of him. "Keep him for the sheriff. Startin' a fight in my place it's disturbin' the peace, that's what it is! I won't stand it!"
I've come hundreds of miles a puppus to see 'em, and nothin' else; not a bit of trade, or speckelation, or any airthly thing but to see them cussed Falls, and come as near as 100 cents to a dollar, startin' off without sein' 'em arter all. If it hadn't a been for that are Britisher I was sold, that's a fact. Can I run down there and back in half an hour in time for the stage?
