"The Padre buried the others?" he said questioningly. It was Dick's partner, Abe Allinson, who took it upon himself to answer. "Y' see the Padre's done a heap. Slaney's missis didn't guess we'd orter worrit him. That's how she said." Buck suddenly swung round on Beasley. "Fix it for to-morrow, an' the Padre'll be right along."

Now I want to go to sleep, and you keep the lamp burning, and the fire burning, and it's all alight, so I can't get off." Sally shaded the lamp. Her lip was curled. She did not deign to answer the complaint. Silly old fool; always grumbling! Let her wait. Let her wait and see what happened!
