As for myself, this procedure of our cook's was more than I could stand. "Isbel, you're discharged," I said, shortly. "Take your outfit and get out. Lee will lend you a pack horse." "Wal, I ain't fired," drawled Isbel. "I quit before you rode in. Beat you to it!" "Then if you quit it seems to me you are taking liberties with supplies you have no right to," I replied. "Nope.
"A small-boat trip following a sea trip, then. What else have you found?" "Nothin' much. Mosquito nettin', pills, surgeon's plaster and odds and ends of drugs." "Let me see the drug list." He ran his eye down the paper. Then he looked at Doctor Hoff with a half smile. "You didn't notice anything peculiar about this list?" "Don't know as I did." "Not the er nitric acid, for instance?" "Nope.
"You'll alter your mind twenty times before you leave college, o' course; but if you take hold of it in proper shape, and if you don't tie it up before you're twenty-three, I'll make the thing over to you. How's that, Harve?" "Nope; never pays to split up a going concern.
"Yes. Anything more?" "Nope. I 'lows I'll saddle up." They walked back to the barn in silence. Seth saddled his horse and brought him out. Together they walked to the gate of the stockade. They still remained silent. At the gate the man mounted. Rosebud, very frail looking in the moonlight, stood beside him smoothing the horse's silky neck. Her face was anxious but determined.
Flossie and Freddie were too excited, looking at sights along the road, to talk much, but they were as happy as if they had been chattering away like the others. "Did your dog Snap bite your finger, Bert?" asked Dannie Rugg. "No, my knife slipped when I was making Freddie a boat. Say, Freddie," he asked the little fellow, "did you lose your boat?" "Nope, I have it here," and he held it up.
"Say, you ain't got any of that plaster like they put on a guy's head when he gets hit with a brick?" "Nope. But I got salt." "And pepper," concluded Sundown with some sarcasm. "Mebby I do look like a barbecue." "Straight, Sun, salt and water is mighty healin'. You better ride over to the Concho and get fixed up." "Reckon that ain't no dream, Hi. Got to see the boss, anyhow."
Moshup, angry that he could not catch him, and fearing that, if the creature hatched others of equal appetite and ferocity, the race of Indians would become extinct, one day waded into the water after him, and continued in pursuit till he had crossed to the island which sent the hot winds, and which is now called Nope.
"I I thought he was rather wild," stammered Forbes, getting to his feet. "Nope. It was you was wild. I reckon you like to scared him to death. Nope! Git on him from this side." "He seems a rather intelligent animal," commented Forbes as he prepared for the worst. "Well, we kin call him that, seein' there's nobody round to hear us. We'll walk 'em a spell." Forbes felt relieved.
Come right up on the steps and set down. How'd you happen to come home. Either of you sick or wounded?" "Nope," answered Shorty sententiously. "Both sound as nuts and healthy as mules." "Well, come right up on the porch and set down. You must be awful tired. Le'me carry your gun and things for you."
An' now he couldn't play marbles, let alone gol-lof. Nope, Monty was too smart. An' I reckon he was right about brains bein' what wins." The game began. At first Madeline and Dorothy essayed to direct the endeavors of their respective players. But all they said and did only made their team play the worse. At the third hole they were far behind and hopelessly bewildered.
