Ferd drove, adorned also with a plug hat from the stock of the Honorable Percival. Just inside the gate of the fair-grounds waited the Smyrna "Silver Cornet Band." It struck up "Hail to the Chief," to the violent alarm of the hack-horses. "We're goin' to get run away with sure's you're above hatches!" bellowed Cap'n Sproul, standing up and making ready to leap over the edge of the watermelon.
Clinging with his toes and one hand, while he wiped his dripping forehead with his sleeve, he looked up and saw the whole height of the mountain, unbroken and daunting, stretched skyward above him. But to Horner the solemn sight was not daunting in the least. "Gee!" he exclaimed, grinning with satisfaction. "I hev circumvented that there cervice, sure's death!"
"I see it, an' I never saw a piece o' cat-brier move endwise before," said Shorty, fixing his eyes on the string-like green. "As sure's you're alive, it is movin'," said Si, starting to rise. "Set still, keep quiet an' watch," admonished Shorty. "You'll find out more." Si sat still and looked. The direction the brier was moving was toward the guard-line, some 100 feet away to the left.
"Blast the blouse," said Si; "let it be till mornin'. You need something worse'n a blouse to-night. You'll ketch a bullet sure's you're alive if you try to go acrost that road agin. They rake it." "I don't care if they do," said Shorty desperately. "I'd go down there if a battery raked it. There's a letter in the pocket that I must have." Si instinctively felt for the letter in his own pocket.
Come on, now, and if the thief is here we'll have a look at him." "Pap," whispered Dan, hurriedly, "they're comin' sure's you're livin'. Le's slip around to the other side of the island, easy like, and steal their boats afore they know what is goin' on." "We couldn't do it," replied his father, in the same cautious whisper. "They'd be sure to see us. I'll fix 'em when they come nigh enough.
"Caught this time, Brady, my man," chuckled the keeper triumphantly. "It's gaol for you this journey, as sure's my name's Clegg. Has the fellow been annoying you, Miss Sara?" he added, touching his hat respectfully as he turned towards the girl, whilst with his other hand he still retained his grip of Brady's arm. She laughed as though suddenly amused. "Nothing to speak of, Clegg," she replied.
And, sure's you're born, they all got off Afore the smokestacks fell, And Bludso's ghost went up alone In the smoke of the "Prairie Belle." He weren't no saint, but at jedgment I'd run my chance with Jim, 'Longside of some pious gentlemen That wouldn't shake hands with him.
"Hoo cam he by the bonnie nickname?" she asked at length. "Nickname!" retorted Mistress Croale fiercely; "I think I hear ye! His ain name an' teetle by law an' richt, as sure's ever there was a King Jeames 'at first pat his han' to the makin' o' baronets! as it's aften I hae h'ard Sir George, the father o' 'im, tell the same."
You never hear a hard word said about him, and sure's there's a heaven he is in it." Chilian held up his finger. Then he signed a paper that had to go back, and asked if the cargo of the Ulysses was in good shape. Elizabeth called him downstairs after that. There was a poor man wanting some sort of a position and Chilian promised to look out for him.
Mister," said Si, covering the pile with his massive hands. "Shorty, look at them dice. He's got molasses on one side. You kin see there where the flies are eatin' it." Shorty snatched up the dice, felt them and touched his tongue to one side. "That's so, sure's you're a foot high," said he sententiously. Just then someone yelled: "Scatter! Here come the guards!" All looked up.
