"I refused two hunderd dollars for 'er last week," said Brother Skates, in a clearly round, secular tone of voice.

Bowe laughed at that, and it was such a good-humored, infectious chuckle of mirth that Jerry at last looked up at his very disappointing father, and the twinkle in his father's eyes and the engaging, twisty smile that played about his lips comforted Jerry.

A bed of crimson coals in the bottom of the grate was all that survived of his own fire. He sat down before it, not seeing it, his candle unlighted in his hand, a tragedy in his eyes. A comfortless room. Rag carpeting on the floor. No rug softening the hearth-stones. The sashes of the windows loose in the frames and shaken to-night by twisty gusts.

And now that you've brought him, may I hear what your young friend has to say, all by myself?" She even springs another one of them twisty smiles; but her head nods suggestive at the door.
So I got him to speak of the way, and after more circumlocution than I needed and more talk of the city he pointed to a tiny track on the black earth just beside us, a little twisty way you could hardly see.
"Hope you can find the creek that leads to the fresh-water country. I don't believe I could. We came through too many twisty, narrow places. We sure don't want to be three or four days finding it. I'm awful thirsty now." "You must stop thinking about it. I believe I won't try for that creek.
