"Like your own mamma, she iss dot goot to you. But times iss hardt now, undt poor folks always haf too many babies." "She don't treat me like she was my mamma now," complained Sadie, with a sob that changed to a hiccough as she sipped the mug of coffee that had been the accompaniment of the cake.
In a few minutes, however, their confidence returned. The watchers could see a little man dart out from among the crowd and point toward the specie room and the office structure. "The gold is within, my brothers!" he shouted in Spanish. "Bodderation tage dot feller," sputtered Geisler, "a veek ago he vos der best vorkman ve hadt by der mine, undt now look at him."
Where is my father?" gasped Jack, all in one breath. "Himmel!" sputtered the German. "Oh, diss is an onloocky day, py chiminy. A young feller rode it to der mine, early to-day, undt told your fader dot you vos wounded, and " "My father went with this fellow?" demanded the boy, his eyes blazing with eagerness and anxiety. "Ches. He thought dot idt vos all righdt, und "
"Do you wish to see me?" asked Dr. Sevier. The German made an odd gesture of deferential assent, lifting one open hand a little in front of him to the level of his face, with the wrist bent forward and the fingers pointing down. "Uf you bleace, Toctor, I toose; undt tat's te fust time I effer tit vanted a toctor.
I lingered a few moments with the entomologist before leaving him with others. He asked me only one question: "Hmm! Hmm! How she iss?" "Why," said I, brightly, "I think she feels rather more comfortable than she did." "Hmm! Hmm! I am sorry Hmm! Ach! mine Gott, I am so hoongary! Hmm! I am so dtired mit dot sou-oup undt dose creckers! Hmm!
I yoost taught I'll trop in undt tell you, Toctor, tat I heffent het Mr. Richlun in my etsteplitchmendt a veek undtil I findte owdt tat he's a berfect tressure." Doctor Sevier started half up from his chair, dropped into it again, wheeled half away, and back again with the blood surging into his face and exclaimed: "Why, what do you mean by such drivelling nonsense, sir?
"She saidt dot you was goin' to marry me undt' get the farm." Claude grinned, then chuckied, and at last roared and whooped with the delight of it. He took off his hat and said: "She said that, did she? Why, bless her old cabbage head-" The opening of the door and the sudden irruption of Frau Haldeman interrupted him.
"I yoost come in fun mine paykery undt comin' into mine howse, fen I see someting" he waved his hand downward again "someting layin' on te floor face pleck ans a nigger's; undt fen I look to see who udt iss, udt is Mississ Reisen! Toctor, I vish you come right off! I couldn't shtayndt udt you toandt come right avay!"
"I'll come," said the Doctor, without rising; "just write your name and address on that little white slate yonder." "Toctor," said the German, extending and dipping his hat, "I'm ferra much a-velcome to you, Toctor; undt tat's yoost fot te pottekerra by mine corner sayt you vould too.
I vish, mine Gott! t'ere be no more any vomens ut all, undt we haf t'e shiltern by mutchinery." On the outer steps I sprang with others to save a young girl, who had stumbled, from pitching headlong to the sidewalk. Once on her feet again, after a limp or two she walked away uninjured; but when I looked around for my real charge he was not in sight.
