By the time pen, ink, and paper were put in front of him, he had his letter mapped out in his mind, and had only to put it upon paper. "Won't Hiram know that the letter isn't in his dad's handwritin'?" suggested Katz. "I reckon he won't," answered Gerald craftily, leaning back in his chair with the letter in his hand.
So jist mind what I say; first spy pokes his nose into your office, chop it off and clap it up over Temple Bar, where they puts the heads of traitors and write these words over, with your own fist, that they may know the handwritin', and not mistake the meanin', This is the nose of a Spy." Nothing is so fatiguing as sight-seeing.
"Looks as if it had been tore outer that note-book you was pretendin' to be writin' in same size, same colour, an' thar's writin' on it, too. Looks like your own fist, don't it?" Kiddie reached for the square of paper that was handed to him and examined it as if he had never seen it before. "Queer!" he ruminated, "it's sure my handwritin' 'Bring this back to camp. Where'd you pick it up?"
"Afraid it'd touch your fancy little handwritin', was you?" "I didn't know it was your name, pardner," Morgan returned, conciliating him as he would an irresponsible child. "Why, I'd walk a mile to write my name next to yours any day. There was something on the book " "You spit on it! You spit on my name!" the foolish fellow charged, laying hand to his pistol.
He sat there for three minutes gazin' at the handwritin' on the thing, his lips moving as if he didn't know they were doing it. 'My God, he says, 'it is Arthur's handwriting. I'd know it among a million. Then he jumped up and began to curse. 'Three thousand dollars! he yelled, forgettin' himself. 'Did that black scoundrel say I had taken it? He lied. He took it himself.
"Now, child," she said, earnestly, "you think I'm foolin' you, but, la! there's jest as much difference in folks' sewin' as there is in their handwritin'. Milly made a fine stitch, but she couldn't keep on the line to save her life; Maria never could make a reg'lar stitch, some'd be long and some short, and Sally Ann's was reg'lar, but all of 'em coarse.
Instinctively he had become suspicious, and the more he considered the letter's contents, the more suspicious he became. "Do you recognize your father's handwriting, Hiram?" asked Clancy. "Well, hardly," was the grinning response. "Dad got lost in the shuffle almost before I'd cut my teeth. I'm not familiar with his handwritin'. Did you read what he says about bein' well off? Gosh!
That's the trouble with these here States girls, and them men from the States, too. You have to take care of 'em. You and me has got to be gardeens for these two folks. If we don't, they're goin' to make all kinds of trouble for theirselves and each other." "Kin you disguise your handwritin' any, Tom?" asked Curly. "I can't. Mine's kind of sot."
"One at the court-house, one at the bank that holds your note, an' the third at the office of the 'Enterprise. You wrote an article urgin' the Dry Valley people to fight Cunningham. That article, in your own handwritin', is in my pocket right now." "I didn't tell them to gun him, did I?" "That's not the point.
I had that 'ere bestowment ever since I was knee high or so; I'm a real complete hand at ventriloquism; I can take off any man's voice I ever heerd to the very nines. If there was a law agin forgin' that as there is for handwritin', I guess I should have been hanged long ago. I've had high goes with it many a time, but it's plaguy dangersome, and I don't pracTISE it now but seldom.
