There was a studied effort on the part of the players to keep away from the subject of football that morning. Many of the fellows looked nervous and drawn, and said little.

"Good heavens!" he observed feebly to the vacant, dusty road beside him, and in answer a whistle from the big, barrack-like building at the other end of the street screamed so stridently that the heavy August air seemed to vibrate about him in hot waves.
Will asked a few questions about crops, with such grace as he could show, and Ed, with keen eyes in his face, talked easily and stridently. "Dinner ready?" he asked of Agnes. "Where's Pete?" "He's asleep." "All right. Let 'im sleep. Well, let's go out an' set 'up. Come, Dad, sling away that Bible and come to grub. Mother, what the devul are you sniffling at? Say, now, look here.

Gulden leaned across the table, his massive jaw working. "I found it on the miner Creede," replied the giant, stridently. Then came a nervous shuffling of boots on the creaky boards. In the silence a low, dull murmur of distant voices could be heard, strangely menacing. Kells stood transfixed, white as a sheet. "On Creede!" "Yes." "Where was his his body?" "I left it out on the Bannack trail."
Garland opened the door, then started as a bell jangled stridently and the bald-headed man craned his neck and the woman whisked round. "Telephone," he muttered, tentative on the sill. The clerk, too listless for words, jerked his head toward the booth and then handed the woman a package. As Garland entered the booth he heard her dragging step cross the floor and the bell jangle on her exit.
