The dogs after him, zip! to the left, and my Bobtail, whack!” Shouting thus the Notary leaned over the table and ran his fingers clear to the other side, and screamed “whack” just over the ear of Thaddeus.
Peter-Kins gave a jerk and tried to run up the towel, leaving his bandage in Zip's mouth. While Zip was trying to get the cloth out of his mouth, Peter-Kins dropped to the floor and climbed up on the kitchen table.
"Ther' was two fellers hit the trail this morning," the gambler said, with a short laugh. "I see 'em when I was with Zip 'fore daylight." "You you best quit it," said Minky in serious, anxious tones. "We kin, maybe, hold the gold up against him here. It ain't too late. It ain't, sure." Bill's face suddenly darkened. All the lightness which the prospect before him had inspired suddenly left it.

"To begin at the beginning," said Zip, "when the doctor and I got up town this morning, he went into the drug store to get some medicines, and I followed.
