Crane I met outside told me you'd been here. Jennie'll get the tally-sheet of the last load for ye. I've been to the fort since daylight, and pretty much all night, to tell ye God's truth. Oh, Gran'pop, but I smashed 'em!" she exclaimed as she gently removed Patsy's arm and laid him in the old man's lap. She had picked the little cripple up at the garden gate, where he always waited for her.
There was a moment's pause, a teller waved his tally-sheet towards the skylight and shouted a name, and then the boom of a cannon on the roof of the wigwam announced the nomination to the crowds in the streets, where shouts and salutes took up and spread the news. In the convention the Lincoln river now became an inundation.
She smiled as she carefully charted the temperature line. "Kin I look at it?" queried Pete. She gave the chart to him and he studied it frowningly. "What's this here that looks like a range of mountains ?" he asked. "Your temperature." And she explained the meaning of the wavering line. "Gee! Back here I sure was climbin' the high hills! That's a interestin' tally-sheet."
The company returned to the large dining-room, which, in the mean time, had been again transformed into a gaming-hall, with the usual accessories: a frame for the tally-sheet, a metal bowl to hold rejected playing-cards set in one end of the table, and, placed at intervals around it, were tablets on which the punter registered the amount of the stakes.
We kept a record of the games, and he went to bed happier if the tally-sheet showed a balance in his favor. He was not an even-tempered player. When the game went steadily against him he was likely to become critical, even fault-finding, in his remarks.
The fish had undoubtedly taken to sea. Laying-to to check one of the last of the few remaining boats which rode at anchor, Dickie consulted her tally-sheet and shook her head. "Not much in this," she averred. "It's a losing game so far. And there's only Big Jack with the Albatross yet to hear from. We ought to find him cruising off the seal rocks.
One season the Kandeish and Berar gangs aggregated 963 men, and they murdered 385 people. Here is the tally-sheet of a gang of sixty Thugs for a whole season gang under two noted chiefs, "Chotee and Sheik Nungoo from Gwalior": "Left Poora, in Jhansee, and on arrival at Sarora murdered a traveler. "On nearly reaching Bhopal, met 3 Brahmins, and murdered them.
Sometimes a fakeer trusted a shade too far in the protection of his sacredness. In the middle of a tally-sheet of Feringhea's, who had been out with forty Thugs, I find a case of the kind.
