"Hurt him some skeart him considerable, though. I guess he's quit shootin' pretty much. But come here we be, boys. I'll keep along the outside, where the walkin's good. You git next me, and Archer next with the dogs, and A inside of all. Keep right close to the cedars, A ; all the birds 'at you flushes will come stret out this aways. They never flies into the cedar swamp.
If thet is yer means o' communication with ther other side o' ther river, oxcuse me." "Why, what's the matter with that? That's a mighty fine car." "I reckon it is, but walkin's good ernuf fer me." "But you'll never walk away from that shadow." "I'll bet I kin run erway from 'his checkers' before we're halfway ter St.
Can you tell me how far it is from here and how I can get there?" Her tone was like icicles. "It's a little matter o' twenty miles, more 'r less," said the man protruding his offensive chin. "The walkin's good. I don't know no other way from this p'int at this time o' night. Yeh might set still till th' mornin' freight goes by an' drap atop o' one of the kyars."
"Good-morning, Mr. Gilbert," said our hero, pleasantly. "How came you here?" he demanded. "I walked," said Dick. "I don't often ride. I think walkin's good for the constitution."
