The scheme for freeing Chou-hu from the embarrassment of Yan's position was not really badly arranged, nor would it have failed in most cases, but the barber was not sufficiently broad-witted to see that many of the inspired sayings which he used as arguments could be taken in another light and conveyed a decisive warning to himself.
Presently there was more snickering in the teepee, then Guy came out alone, struck a theatrical attitude and began to recite to a tree above Yan's head: "Kingbird, fearless crested Kingbird, Thou art but a blooming sing bird " But the mud was very handy and Yan hurled a mass that spattered Guy thoroughly and sent him giggling into the teepee. "Them's the bow-kays," Sam was heard to say.
Yuen Yan had conscientiously delivered at the door of his abode the last of his company and was turning his footsteps towards his own arch when he encountered the contumelious Ho, who was likewise returning at the close of a day's mendicancy but with this distinction: that, whereas Ho was followed by two stalwart attendants carrying between them a sack full of money, Yan's share of his band's enterprise consisted solely of one base coin of a kind which the charitable set aside for bestowing upon the blind and quite useless for all ordinary purposes of exchange.
"I allus thought a Mole was a Mouse specie," remarked Hawkeye, not satisfied with Yan's distinction. "Oh, you!" interrupted Sam. "You'll try to make out the Burnses is some kin to the Raftens next." "I bet I won't!" and for once Guy got even. "Well," Yan continued, "it so happened about the first time in about a million years the little Hawks were not hungry just then.
Tears of fear and pain ran down Yan's face as he limped about to obey the brute's orders. "Here, you move a little faster!" and the tramp turned from poking the fire with the bow to give another sounding blow. If he had looked down the trail he would have seen a small tow-topped figure that turned and scurried away at the sound.
You seen the biggest coffin plate on the wall? Well, that's him. I see Ma lookin' at it an' cryin' the other day. Da says he'll send me to college if I'll be a dentist or a lawyer lawyers make lots of money: Da had a lawsuit once an' if I don't, he says I kin go to you know." Here was Yan's own kind of mind, and he opened his heart.
Then, changing his tone, Yan went on: "Say, now, Sam, we want to be the best kind of hunters, don't we, so as to be ready for going out West. Let's be Injuns and do everything like Injuns." After all, this had the advantage of romance and picturesqueness, and Sam consented to "try it for awhile, anyhow." And now came the point of Yan's argument.
All of his schoolmates used to say that they "liked" the spring, some of the girls would even say that they "dearly loved" the spring, but they could not understand the madness that blazed in Yan's eyes when springtime really came the flush of cheek the shortening breath the restless craving for action the chafing with flashes of rebellion at school restraints the overflow of nervous energy the bloodthirst in his blood the hankering to run to run to the north, when the springtime tokens bugled to his every sense.
I'm goin' to Californuah, With my wash pan on my knee. The news of the gold was out. Bridger forgot his cups, forgot his friends, hurried to Molly Wingate's cart again. "Hit's true, Miss Molly!" he cried "truer'n true hitself! Yan's men just in from Californy, an' they've got two horseloads o' gold, an' they say hit's nothin' they come out fer supplies.
Do not doubt Yan's capability to conduct himself in a discreet and becoming manner, but communicate to him, by the usual means which you adopt, the offer thus laid out, and unless he should be incredibly obtuse or unfilial to a criminal degree he will present himself at the Sign of the Gilt Thunderbolt at an early hour to-morrow."
