Boat returns at five sharp." "Aw! Quite so! Very good! But I've got er business here, don't you know." "Oh? Thinking of opening a branch here? Well, there's Stock's but I doubt if you'd fit in there " "Fit? Why not fit? Stocks are my line." "I think I'd try the Bel-Air if I were you " "Which is nearest?" asked Charles Svendt, looking round depreciatively. "Bel-Air. Just along the tunnel there "
"Doan know how many cowboys. They're always comin' and goin'. I ain't acquainted with half of them." "Much movement of stock these days?" "Stock's always movin'," he replied, with a queer look. "Rustlers?" But he did not follow up that look with the affirmative Duane expected. "Lively place, I hear Fairdale is?" "Ain't so lively as Sanderson, but it's bigger." "Yes, I heard it was.
"Yuh can't winter again and come out with anything but another big loss. Yuh haven't even got hay to feed what few calves there is. And, as I told yuh, the way the fences are strung from hell to breakfast, the stock's bound to die off like poisoned flies every storm that comes." "I have kept that in mind, William. I saw that I should be quite unable to make a payment this fall, so I went to Mr.

He had also a good reputation for skill in his trade, and his industry was talked of through the whole town, so that he had soon more work than he could possibly do. He paid all his dealers to the very day, and took care to carry his interest money to the creditors the moment it became due.

He drank a cup of tea and continued: "Almost his first words were to ask me if I would like to see the body of the murdered man if so, he thought he could manage it for me. He is as keen as a razor. The body lies in Dr. Stock's surgery, you know, down in the village, exactly as it was when found.
This judicious defence produced an immediate effect upon Lady Stock's countenance; her eyebrows descended from the high arch of contempt: and after a pause, she remarked, "it was strange that they had not accepted of any of the invitations she had lately sent them she fancied they were, as indeed they had the character of being, very proud people and very odd."
I heard it said yesterday, that she had refused Sir Thomas Stock's eldest son, and my Lord Bradstone, and some others; now it is plain she would not marry merely for money or title.
