"Mebbe they've sneaked round to the cabin," said Briggs, "and are holdin' it inside." They were turning quickly in that direction, when Wyngate said, "Hush! some one's there in the brush under the buckeyes." They listened; there was a faint rustling in the shadows. "Come out o' that, Brown into the open. Don't be shy," called out Rice in cheerful irony. "We're waitin' for ye."
It would be a bigger forfeit than you'd keer fo'." Before he could reply she turned aside as if quite innocently, and passed into the shade of a fringe of buckeyes. He followed quickly. "I didn't mean that," she said; but in the mean time he had kissed the pink tip of her ear under its brown coils. He was, nevertheless, somewhat discomfited by her undisturbed manner and serene face.
"What are you looking for, Uncle Bob?" asked Diddie. "Des er few buckeyes, honey," answered the old man. "What you goin' ter du with 'em?" asked Dumps, as the little girls joined him in his search. "Well, I don't want ter die no drunkard, myse'f," said Uncle Bob, whose besetting sin was love of whiskey. "Does buckeyes keep folks from dying drunkards?" asked Dumps.

"Something sure to turn up, and, anyhow, letters my instruction " And he encouraged the acquaintance the Boy had struck up with the Buckeyes, hoping against hope that to go over and smoke a pipe, and exchange experiences with such mighty good fellows would lighten the tedium of the long day spent looking for a job.
On the right the curling smoke of an Indian village rose between the columns of the lofty pines, while to the left the log cottage of Judge Tompkins, embowered in buckeyes, completed the enchanting picture.
For the Doctor was a crank and wouldn't let the sick man have his beans and bacon, forbade him even such a delicacy as fresh pork, though the Buckeyes nobly offered to slaughter one of their newly-acquired pigs, the first that ever rooted in Bonanza refuse, and more a terror to the passing Indian than any bear or wolf. "But the Boy's a long time," the Colonel would say wistfully.
But as soon as I had mounted she set off abruptly, crossed the rocky canyon, apparently sighted the patch of buckeyes of her own volition, and without the slightest hesitation found the trail to the right, and in half an hour stood before the shanty.
