What was the husband's name?" "Arbuthnot, I believe." "Do you know what sort of looking man he was?" "No. I could find out from Washington." "What was his business?" "Government employment, I think." "In the er scientific line, perhaps?" drawled Jones. "Why, yes, I believe it was." "Um-m. Suppose, now, Linder should drop out of the combination. Who would be the most likely nominee?"
He came to town alone, and when the citizens asked him where his men was, he said, 'Hell! 'Ain't I enough? There's only one riot. Are you workin' up a case, Dave?" "Um-m yes! People are missing a lot of stock hereabouts." "It's these blamed refugees from the war! A Mexican has to steal something or he gets run down and pore. If it ain't stock, it's something else.
Anyhow, I got the bundle all right, all right. I wonder what the little fossil wants with it." "The Doc's glasses was broke," said Max, evidently to the mayor of Reuton. "Um-m," came Cargan's voice. "Bland, how much do you make working for this nice kind gentleman, Mr. Hayden?" "Oh, about two thousand a year, with pickings," replied Bland. "Yes?" went on Mr. Cargan.
"I'll say we've heard of you. Your name's getting as common as safety-razor blades. You've been cleaning up, haven't you?" "Um-m, moderately." Calvin Gray shook hands with the promoters, then to the agitated Mallow, who still peered at him apprehensively, he said: "Come, come! Let down your hammer! Uncoil!"

"No doubt they think I'm just like the dance-hall girls. I've seen a few of them at a distance. They avoid me as if I had measles." "Naturally. Do you care?" "Certainly I care. I'd like to be one of them, not a a specimen. Wouldn't you?" "Um-m, perhaps. I dare say I could be one of them if it weren't for Courteau. People forget things quickly in a new country." "Why did you take him back?
"Come in here with me." "It's not my turn," objected Patty. "That makes no difference," returned the doctor. Patty dropped limply into the consulting-chair. "Let me see your tongue. Um-m isn't coated very much. Your pulse seems regular, though possibly a trifle feverish. Have you been working hard?" "I don't think I've been working any harder than usual," said Patty, truthfully.
"Bob's" eyes were sparkling. "Oh, things are looking up for dad and me. Mr. Gray is a real miracle man, isn't he?"

"Um-m well, he speaks admiringly of you, and if people admire me I love them.
And she's the one who met the lady at the gate, and left her when the man appeared? 'The same. 'Um-m! She tries to secure the young lady's bag; she meets her as though by appointment; and she meets our quarry, too. She seems to know them all. Query: Does she, by any chance, know well, say you?

After an hour or more spent with his wife and daughter, he went down to Gray's room and thanked him for the assistance he had rendered the two women. Followed a few moments of desultory conversation, then he put an abrupt question: "Mr. Gray, you're a rich man, ain't you?" "I am so considered." "Um-m! Dunno's I'm glad or sorry."

I tell you, it makes wild talk among the peladors." "Do you believe such stories?" Alaire inquired, with some amusement. "Um-m not altogether. But, all the same, I think it is time we were going home." "This is home, for me, Dolores."
