It seemed as if the poor fellow's prayer were directly answered, for at that moment the door opened, and the governor, or some other official of the prison, entered the cell. "You must vork," he said, going up to Bill. "We'll be only too glad to work, yer honour, if you'll give us work to do." "Ver' good; fat can you vork?" "We can turn handy to a'most anything, yer honour," said Ben eagerly.
One of the workmen understood, chattered excitedly with his fellows, and held up one soiled finger. "Ein," he said. "Kiska, he vork here." Shelby's shovel grated on the cylinder of the buried drill. From underneath its tripod protruded the booted leg of a man. "Go easy, boys," he cautioned. With his own hands he skilfully uncovered the victim's head and trunk.
"Did Murden tell you what we required of you?" I asked. "He said something about my getting the vorst thrashing that I ever had in my life, unless I obeyed orders. So here I am, ready to go to vork and do my best." "Where are you stopping?" I inquired.
He pointed to a cleared spot behind the bushes and there, on the ground, lay the torn-up posts and boards. Evidently somebody had dragged them thither in great haste. "It's the work of some thorough rascal!" cried Sam. "Somebody who meant mischief to our stage." "Maype dis vos der vork of dem Pornell Academy fellers," suggested Hans. "No, they are gentlemen, not scoundrels," replied Tom.
"Ah, good-morning, sar," exclaimed Lobo to me, as he entered. "Glad to see you back in the river, sar! I hope dat de capitan and officers of de beautiful Barracouta are all well? Ah, gentlemen, dat was a ver' fine bit of vork, dat attack of yours upon Chango Creek; ver' fine and ver' successful. I 'ave alvays been proud of my share in dat exploit.
"Yas, I tank I going yust de sam your way." The young man set the pace more rapidly, and for a time they walked on in silence. At last, "Live here?" he asked. "Yas, I lif here." "Been here long?" "In America? Yes. I guess five sax year. Oh, I lak it goot." "I mean here, in this place." "Oh, here? Yas, two, t'ree year. I lak it goot too." "Know any one here?" "Oh, yas. I know people I vork by yet."
It makes like that from the hard vork always. It is the cold the cold makes it like." With despair Captain realized that he could neither go on, dragging the sick man and outfit, nor could he stay here in idleness to sacrifice the precious days that remained to his partner. Each one he lost might mean life or death. Klusky broke in upon him. "You von't leave me, Mistaire Captain?
Biff, bang, kill; ver' bad," and she clapped her gauntleted hands together sharply. "But not me; I vas only girl; no gun, no knife see. I just like know more 'bout mine Americano's mine; you show me how it vork. Sabe?" Stutter appeared puzzled, doubtful. "Mexicana?" he questioned, kicking a piece of rock with his heavy boot. "Si, señor, but I speak de English ver' good.
Bobby, dear, don't steal again." "No, Hetty, I won't, I'll vork. I didn't go for to do it a-purpose, but I was overtook some'ow I seed the umbrellar standin' handy, you know, and etceterer. But I'm sorry I did it, an' I won't do it again."
And den, as I go, one says to me, "Come in here;" and I come in and not care, till I hear many tell vat dey vere, and I say, "I vill vait a leetle longer: I cannot steal now." And now vork has come, and if God help me I shall never steal again. "I stood up den. I said loud, 'I haf nefer steal. I belief in God, but now how shall I? My heart's dearest, dey starve, dey die before me.
