Crops were sown, and grew up, and were gathered in; the stream that had been crimsoned, turned a watermill; men whistled at the plough; gleaners and haymakers were seen in quiet groups at work; sheep and oxen pastured; boys whooped and called, in fields, to scare away the birds; smoke rose from cottage chimneys; sabbath bells rang peacefully; old people lived and died; the timid creatures of the field, the simple flowers of the bush and garden, grew and withered in their destined terms: and all upon the fierce and bloody battle-ground, where thousands upon thousands had been killed in the great fight.
In brief, the great strike was on, but, for the time being, it was masquerading in the guise of a public holiday. At one o'clock the whistle blew again, and a thousand voices whooped a derisive accompaniment, but no one of the throng in the streets made a move toward the mills.
No such limitations were imposed upon Teddy Tucker, however, and Teddy whooped it up for all that was in him. All hands were weary when they turned in that night. At about eleven o'clock the following morning, the country billposters came in, having completed their routes.
Speak up, Asia, if you've got any medicine for me." Farther on another man in a blue robe sat under a tree, with his feet stuck out in front. By the black clay pipe he was smoking, and by his hair that was red enough to keep a man surprised as not harmonious with his robin's-egg blue robe, the same was Irish. He whooped joyful to see me, and said I'd find Sadler over "beyont the boss pagody."
He was very silent during this interview, asking few questions, and offering no observations except in reply to some question addressed to him. It was a hard pull for the men up the rapids. Wish-tay-yun, whose clear, sonorous voice was the bugle of the party, shouted and whooped each one answered with a chorus, and a still more vigorous effort.
Calhoun would do anything, and he said he'd probably take Tellurium to Wild Rose and trade him off to some squaw! And when I defended him he just whooped and laughed at me and now he's got to apologise!"
"I wish I had whooped up on it faster," bewailed Dick, with engaging candor. "I'm an awful rotter plain lazy, I guess." "Well, I don't know but we'd better let Bob go, all things considered," observed Mr. Crowninshield, who had been quietly thinking the matter over. "I say Bob goes, too," reiterated Dick. "It is worth something to put such fellows as those dog thieves behind the bars."
"We ascended the cliff by ladders of withies or saplings," said the prisoner, "drawn up by an accomplice and clansman, who had served six months in the castle to enjoy that one night of unlimited vengeance. The owl whooped around us as we hung betwixt heaven and earth; the tide roared against the foot of the rock, and dashed asunder our skiff, yet no man's heart failed him.
The first rational thought that came into his mind was: What a lucky thing that Tom Percival was well out of the way when this news came! Tom would have betrayed himself sure, for he never could have pulled off his hat and shouted and whooped with any enthusiasm when he heard that the cause in which he believed, and for which he was willing to risk his life, had met with disaster.
"Get a jump on you, then. Miss Messiter, would you like to look over the place?" "Not now. I want to see the men that were hurt. Perhaps I can help them. Once I took a few weeks in nursing." "Bully for you, ma'am," whooped Mac. "I've a notion those boys are sufferin' for a woman to put the diamond-hitch on them bandages."
