Ah ha! none o' yer thricks!" as the filly, becoming enjoyably aware of the large space of grass round her, let fling a kick of malevolent exuberance at the two fox-terriers who were trotting decorously in her rear. It was soon found that, in the matter of "stone gaps," the A B C of Irish jumping, Connemara had taught the grey filly all there was to learn.
"Howld on, ye imps!" roared Barney. "Ye can't play your dirty thricks here!" "Keep them away!" grated Bascomb. "Keep them away, and I'll fix this fellow now!" Frank heard the bully's voice, but he could not see Bascomb. With a cry of unutterable fury, Merriwell leaped for his foe, caught him, grappled with him.
"Take Neale O'Neil to a dirthy circus-show and make him do thricks, like a thrained pig, or a goose, or a a a naygur man from the Sahara Desert? He leaped up and tore off his leather apron. "The ormadhoun! I'd like a brush wid him, mesilf. Con Murphy takes a hand in this game. We nade no lawyer-body not yit. Lave it to me, Miss Ruthie, acushla! Sure I'll invite mesilf to supper wid youse, too.
"'Tis the grand manager ye are, Miss Wenzel, gettin' satins an' tailor-mades on yer salary. It takes a woman, Minnie Wenzel, to see through a woman's thricks." "Well I'll be dinged!" exploded Jo Haley. "Yuh'd better be!" retorted Birdie Callahan. Minnie Wenzel stood up, her lip caught between her teeth.
Now, ye'll go ter him to-morrer mornin' d'ye mind an' ye'll tell him all ye've tol' me, an' there won't be no price asked, an' ye'll keep on findin' out all ye can f'r Misther Robert, an' ye'll play fair, an' ye'll take phwat pay he chooses ter give ye, an' if ye thry anny more thricks like th' dirty wan I've just catched ye wid I'll be back ter see ye, James Riley, an' I'll break ivery damn bone in ye'er body, James Riley.
He paused as if he had been shot and cocked his rifle, looking toward the point from whence came the noise. "Aisy there, now," he said in a solemn voice. "I won't stand any of your thricks. I'm savage, and when I'm that way I'm dangerous, so if yees are there spake out, or else come out like a man, and tell me your name, be the token of which mine is Mickey O'Rooney from Ireland."
I wouldn't be surprised if he wouldn't bring in a coercion bill at any minute. Ah, the thricks an' the dodges iv him! An' the silver tongue he has in his head! Begorra, I wouldn't lave him out o' me sight. 'Tis himself would stale the cross off a donkey's back."
All these he aired upon me in a very natural manner, and I was much impressed with his erudition, until a grinning depot man got me into a corner and told me that 'the sergeant had shown me the whole bag o' thricks at wonst, He paid every well-dressed recruit that compliment, it seemed; and the depot man warned me that he too would make a bid for my clothes, and would offer me a scarecrow rig-out in return.
"But, after all, God did very well for us, now didn't He, Mr. O'Neill?" said Terry. "He did the next thing to a miracle," said O'Neill; "but you'd better not be doin' any more thricks behind your Gran'ma's back, or maybe God would turn round and punish ye." "I won't; indeed, indeed, I never will," said Terry.
"Phelim, if a body thought you worn't jokin' them ah, the dickens go wid you, Phelim this is more o' your thricks but if it was thruth you wor spakin', Phelim?" "It is thruth," said Phelim; "be the vestment, it's nothin' else. Now, say yes or no; for if it's a thing that it's to be a match, you must go an' tell him that I'll marry you, an' he must be as firm as a rock.
