Hallo, a tobaccy-box! An' what's this on it? Let me see. Two letters a 'P' and an 'M. 'P.M. arrah, what can that be for? Well, divil may care. Let it lie on the shelf there. Here now, none of your cross looks. I say, put these cobwebs to your face, and they'll stop the bleedin'. And now good-night to you, an' let that be a warnin' to you not to raise your hand to me again."
What was the hardship, and what the personal risk with which this great pioneer work was accomplished, few know except those who had a hand in it, and they as a rule, were modest men who thought little of what they did, and now that it is done, say less. Some think it fair to give a man warnin' you intend to kill him on sight, an' then get right down to business as soon as you meet.
An' the worst o' the thing is that it comes so sudden at times, that the masts are torn out o' the ship before you can say Jack Robinson." "What! and without any warning?" said I. "Aye, almost without warnin'; but not altogether without it. You heer'd the captain say he'd go an' take a squint at the glass?" "Yes; what is the glass?"
"Maybe you'll stop around and take food? We'll eat before we strike." Kars' changed attitude seemed to please the half-breed. But he shook his head with a smile that only rendered his expression the more crafty. "Nothin' doin' that way," he said decidedly. "Gee, no!" Then he added confidentially: "I come two miles to give you warnin'. That's straight across as the birds fly.
Dug figures to capture our camp without firin' a shot. And he'd 'a' done it, too, if we hadn't had warnin'." Sanders frowned, his mind busy over the plan. "It ought to work, unless something upsets it," he said. "Sure it'll work. You darned old fox, I never did see yore beat. Say, if we pull this off right, Dug's gonna pretty near be laughed outa the county." "Keep it quiet.
"She likes ye, or she'd never a sent ye that warnin. Akshins speaks louder'n words. She's kinder flustered an dunno her own mind, that's all. Gals don't, genally. Ye'd be a darnation fool ter let her slip through yer fingers naow, arter riskin yer neck an all aour necks in this ere job jess ter git a holt of her, an a settin sech store by her ez ye allers hev. Take a fool's advice, Cap'n.
"Oh, I dunno, Col'nel but when a thing comes on me that away, maybe it's because I'm so nervous an' upsot, but somehow I seem to have a second sight when I git in this fix. I wanted you to tell me." "What's it got to do with the race, sah! There is no bar to age. Have you any susp " "Oh, no no Col'nel, it's jes' a warnin', an intuition. I've had 'em often, it's always from God.
Consequently I has to flick this whip as them fellers at the races: All in this 'ere Ring's mine! as much as to say; and who's been hit, he's had fair warnin'. I'm sorry for't, but that's just the case." Sir Austin retired to communicate with his son, when he should find him. Algernon's interview passed off in ale and promises.
It's just the night for 'em, such as I used to hear the old folks talk about out to the 'Farm, An' which of us do you suppose, oh, which has got to die? 'Cause it's a 'call, a 'warnin', to somebody."
But I wunk at him, a real severe and warnin' wink, and he stopped short off, for all the world as if he had forgot bein' on his good behavior; he stopped short off, and went right to behavin', and sez he to me: "Don't put on your comforter to-day, Samantha, for Tirzah Ann and Whitfield and the babe are a-comin' over here bimeby, and Maggie is a-comin', and Thomas Jefferson."
