The snort, the snap and whine of the air-brakes have a meaning for him, and he learns to distinguish between noises between the rattle of a loose lamp and the ugly rattle of small stones on a scarped embankment between the 'Hoot! toot! that scares wandering cows from the line, and the dry roar of the engine at the distance-signal.
As God in Heaven is my witness, if a hair of that man's head is harmed to-night, I'll kill Toot Wambush on sight. I'll kill him, if I hang for it! I swear it before God! Do you hear?

We stood and we stood, listening to the whistles, and the longer we stood the more it got on my nerves, her not noticing me. I suppose she'd been too much on my mind lately. I began to be put out. I scraped my feet. I coughed. By and by I said out loud: "Look here, I guess I better get out the fog-horn and give those fellows a toot." "Why?" said she, without moving her head calm as that. "Why?"
Are you sure you corralled your sheep so they won't stray out? "'They're shut up as tight as the jury of a millionaire murderer, says I.
