Gabe described the Simmons general store and its proprietor. Then he added: "I was noticin' that trunk of yours, mister; it's all plastered over with labels, ain't it? Cal'late that trunk's done some travelin', hey?" "Think so, do you?" "Yup. Gee! I'd like to travel myself. But no! I got to stay all my life in this dead 'n' alive hole.
"Was that all?" he asked, with a sigh. "Yup. No, 'twa'n't neither, come to think of it. Rastus Young's wife, come in with her two young-ones and bought some shoes and hats for 'em." "Did she pay cash?" demanded Captain Shadrach sharply. "No; she said charge 'em up, so I done it. Say, ain't you comin' in pretty soon? It's 'most my supper time."
Three times the horses had plunged at it, and three times had been brought to a stand, not so much by the drag of the V plow as by the wallowing they themselves had to do in the drift. "No use, break her through, boys," said Radway. So a dozen men hurled their bodies through, making an opening for the horses. "Hi! YUP!" shouted the three teamsters, gathering up their reins.
I'll say it myself." He strode to the window, threw it open, and shouted in a voice which had been trained to carry above worse gales than the present one: "Ahoy! Ahoy! Win! Fetch her around aft here. Lay alongside the kitchen door! D'you hear? Ahoy! Win! d'you hear?" Silence. Then, after a moment, came the reply. "Yup, I hear ye. Be right there." The captain turned from the window.
"Don't know," he answered. "That's what all hands are askin'. I presume likely she'll be looked after. Marcellus left plenty of money, didn't he? And kids with money can generally find guardians." "Yup, I guess that's so. Still, whoever gets her will have their hands full. She's the most old-fashioned, queerest young-one ever I saw." So much for Mr.
"I said I guessed I'd try it," grinned the youth invisibly. "Well, I would if I was in your fix. Keep right close after me; they's some ditches here, and the foot-bridges are none too wide." "The Artesian is owned by the railway, eh?" "Yup." "And you're the clerk?" "Yup; nice little scheme, ain't it?" "Well, it'll do," replied Albert. The man laughed without looking around.

Voices from behind the ridge announced the coming of the carpenter and the two "identifiers." The latter, Mr. Emulous Baker and Mr. "Squealer" Wixon, were on the broad grin. "Yup, that's him," announced Mr. Wixon. "Hello, Shavin's! Got you took up for a German spy, have they? That's a good one! haw, haw!" "Do you know him?" asked the major. "Know him?" Mr. Wixon guffawed again.
He hesitated and picked it up on the third ring. "Hello, Joe." "Jason?" "Yup." "Jesus, I thought it was someone else. Glad it's you. Long time! How are you?" "Fine. I'm passing through, thought I'd give you a call and see if we could get together." "Sure, great!" They arranged to meet for an early breakfast as Jason was flying out the next day.
