Meanwhile, a third cock, young in years but old in wisdom, who steadily refused to retaliate when attacked, looked after the hens in dispute. To-day the fray was particularly ferocious, and, fearing that the combatants would have no eyes left at all if she did not interfere, Bessie called to the old Boer hound who was lying in the sun on the verandah. "Hi, Stomp, Stomp hunt them, Stomp!"
You see, as I have said more formally, in our efforts to march forwards to do good it is highly neccessary to see that we hain't a-tromplin' on anybody; and in order to help sinners in Africa it hain't neccessary to knock down Christians in New Jersey and Rhode Island, or to stomp onto professors in Maine. Howsumever, that is some folkses ways.
"Well, hit's all too damn plain an' hit would 'pear ter signify that Alexander sought ter shake off two fellers thet didn't low ter be shook off. Right hyar they all stopped, an' parleyed some." "Why?" "Because three mules stood hyar fer a leetle spell ye kin see whar they stomped, an' movin' mules don't stomp twice or thrice over ther same spot.
Of course it cuts, but she only laughs and goes on just the same's ever. I get so mad, sometimes, I'd like to stomp on 'em, but she just looks at me smiling brave-like, with her lips twitching a bit, and says, 'Never mind so long's we're surely right, and then I can't say a word." Dalton looked at her reflectively.
Lum uttered a howl, and his weapon dropped from his relaxed fingers, just as Hippy sprang upon him and dealt the mountaineer a blow that felled him. "Don't! Don't, Hippy! The man has been shot," begged Anne. "Jump on him! Stomp on him, why don't ye?" screamed a mountain girl.
The next moment, with a stomp and a slam, and without knocking, One-Eye made a whirlwind entrance into the kitchen, and halted, his wide hat grotesquely over one ear, a quid of tobacco distending that cheek which the hat brim touched, a score of questions looking from that single eye, and every hair on the front of those shaggy breeches fairly standing out straight.
"But we can't," Freckles entered her prosaic protest, "'cause we're squattin'." "Well, get up then, yer'll have to; an' then if you stomp awful, an' holler 'On-ko on-ko! that's what they say at the thayertre I'll give yer somethin' else " "Wot?" demanded 206 suspiciously. "Don't yer wish I'd tell!" said 208, and began the minuet.
Sam was still grinning, but there was a curve of lip which was far from any real humor, even that provoked by the practical jokes of a barracks bully. "One of them kids had been sayin’ as how he rode with Forrest, regular li’l red-hot Reb, he is. Stomp all over us ... that’s what you Rebs has been promisin’ to do, ain’t it? Gonna stomp all over any Blue Bellies as comes into this town?
"Come here, Stomp," said Bessie, and as she spoke a wild hope shot across her heart like a meteor across the night: perhaps the letter was from John. The dog obeyed her unwillingly enough, for evidently he did not like that Kafir; and when he saw that Stomp was well out of the way the Kafir himself followed.
Do you have a band up here?" wondered Anne. "Uh-huh fiddle and er banjer, and the feller that plays the banjer kin tear more music out o' it and stomp on the floor harder'n any other perfesser in the mountains. Better come if Paw ain't run you-all out befo' then." "Don't worry, little one. Paw won't run this outfit out just yet," replied Hippy. "I dunno, I dunno. Ain't no tellin' 'bout Paw. Bye."
