"Oh, out yonder in ther back yard amusin' that Swede Stutter yere brought in ter him fer a playthin'. Them foreigners seem ter all be gittin' mighty chummy o' late.

"Bring-up a quart of brandy," sez the Squire, "and a bilin o' lemons and sugar. Mr. W.," sez he, "there's not much of me left. Let's liquor up! Let's have a smoke and a cocktail."

"That's what I thought you would think, that I was amusin' myself. And I wanted to tell you that I am not, you know.

When she stamped her foot the smile grew to a short, amused laugh. "Sorta riled, eh?" he jeered. "Well, go as far as you like you're sure amusin'. But I don't reckon that I'll be leavin' here in a hurry. Didn't the old man tell you I could stay here a year? What's the use of me goin' now, just when you're goin' to start to reform me?

If I couldn't laff at most of the folks that live in this town, I'd be tempted ter commit sooicide that's right! And you air one of the most amusin' of the lot, Massey. Them other committeemen run ye a clost second." "Oh! I can't stop here and fool with you all day, Walky Dexter," snapped the druggist, pretty well worked up by now.

Well, that's a matter we'll have to thrash out when you come to that and one other which ain't going to be half so amusin' nor congenial while under consideration.
