Yip!"; the ponies, of all colors, jostled and plunged, and their hoof-beats drummed; above the tossing crests bare arms upheld a fringe of shaking guns and bows and lances. Unless he had been at Beecher's Island and witnessed the charge of Roman Nose, not a man of Adobe Walls ever had seen so terrible a spectacle as this, under the pink sky of the fresh June morning.
Mary's voice quivered, but she was ashamed of showing her weakness. "I hain't had the life of a dog for these four years," she explained defiantly. "You've been four years with Mrs. Wiley?" "Yip. She took me out of the asylum over in Hopetown when I was eight." "That's the same place Mrs. Blythe came from," exclaimed Faith. "I was two years in the asylum. I was put there when I was six.
A Halfmoon D youth mounted a blocky bay and as he threw his leg across it he loosed a shrill yip and reached forward to rake the horse's shoulder. The bay dropped his head and performed. A half-dozen others followed his example and their horses pitched off in as many directions. All eyes were turned on Harris as he neared the big roan. "Oh, I might as well act up a little," he said to Evans.
Bill Petes's little brother Charlie says he ain't afraid of anything, not even bears. He says he would walk right up close and cuff em if they dared to yip; but I ain't like that! He ain't scared of elephants or tigers or lions either; he says they're all the same as frogs or chickens to him!"
In other words, the Frogman was ambitious to become still greater than he was, which was impossible if he always remained upon this mountain. He wanted others to see his gorgeous clothes and listen to his solemn sayings, and here was an excuse for him to get away from the Yip Country.
Whoop it up, fellows!" Tad raised his voice to an exultant shout. Chunky's piercing voice punctured the atmosphere in a blood-curdling shout, a wild warwhoop. "Yip! Yip! Hiyi! Hiyi! Kyaw! Kyeeaw! Yip! Yip!" Despite the seriousness of the situation and the real desperateness of their position the Pony Rider Boys laughed so that they were unable to yell for a full minute.
Meanwhile the crowd of yelling, hard-riding sand dust-stirring punchers, came on faster than ever. "Hi! Yi! Yip!" "Here we come!" "Keep th' pot a-bilin'! We've got our appetites With us!" "That's what!"
"I'm not," was the candid reply. "The Cookie Cook and some others in the Yip Country think because I am a big frog and talk and act like a man that I must be very wise. I have learned more than a frog usually knows, it is true, but I am not yet so wise as I hope to become at some future time." The King nodded, and when he did so, something squeaked in his chest.
Aunt Nell, apparently, was determined that Judith should have a gay week-end, for after luncheon she warned them that this was to be their last quiet morning. Yip, it seemed, was so proud of his skill in concocting wonderful salads and ices, that he had no objection to company and Judith was to invite any one she liked for dinner to-morrow, and they were to lunch with Mrs.
Also, he was sure, to check up on what he was doing. "Cathy!" cried Jerry. "There's a great big spider crawling up your left leg." Cathy did not let a yip out of her. "You can't April-fool me that easy," she said in a superior-sounding way that irritated Jerry. Lately he and his twin often irritated each other.
