"You mean that you er have him ahem in your power?" "That's it, Mr. Crabtree." "Very good. And is be, a good sailor?" "As good as any on the river." "Then he can sail the yacht down the river without mishap?" "He can take her to Florida, if you wish to go that far." "No, I don't want to go that far at least, not at present."
What were bread, meat, and beer, to the champion of equality! He went to the meeting that very night: he said he gloried in his losses they were for the cause: the whole conclave rang with shouts of applause, and Mr. Chitterling Crabtree went to bed happier than ever. I need not pursue his history farther; you see him here verbum sat.
They looked about them, endeavoring to locate their source. Suddenly one of the farm hands spoke. "I used to work fer old Crabtree," he said. "There's an old well hereabouts somewheres and maybe he's fell down that." "Where is it?" demanded Jack. "Back in the meadow yonder," said the man, pointing in the direction of the pasture lot. "Let's go over there and see at once," said Dick.
But, before he could fix upon this determination, he desired to know the footing on which he stood in her opinion; and, by the intelligence of Crabtree, obtained in the usual manner, understood that her sentiments of him were very favourable, though without the least tincture of love.
"Hello, look at the set of teeth!" "They must belong to old Crabtree!" "Wonder what he wants for them?" "I reckon teeth come high, by the look of things!" The crowd of cadets kept growing larger, until the room was crowded. Then one cadet took a blackboard eraser and threw it at the teeth. This was a signal for a general discharge of all sorts of things at the dangling object.
Crabtree, do not be hasty, I beg of you," put in the under teacher. "Ditmore, how did you get the teeth?" demanded Josiah Crabtree. "It was very easy, sir, if you must know. I went into the vacant bedroom next to your room, climbed from one window to the other, and the trick was done." "Were you alone?" "Yes, sir, absolutely alone."
"Silence at the table!" came in the sharp tones of Josiah Crabtree, who presided over the particular board at which the Rovers had been placed. "I was only wondering if my brother was going to get any supper," returned Sam boldly. "Silence! I will take care of that." In the midst of the meal a newcomer appeared at the doorway to the messroom. It was Dan Baxter.
I have got the fairest girl in these parts for my wife, and, as I believe, the best young woman." This he said with a spirit for which Mrs. Crabtree had not given him credit, and Algy Soames heard him and admired his friend beneath his blue necktie. And one of the girls heard it, and cried tears of joy as she told her sister afterward in the bedroom. "Oh, what a darling he is!"
The white man called again. This time he was answered from two directions. "It's all right," shouted Davis. "Ike Crabtree answered him. So did Lige Runner. Crabtree never would 'a' yipped till sure there wa'n't no Injun waiting to be shot down. Prob'ly some one from the Holston." "Hooray!" howled a seventeen-year-old lad, who painted his face in addition to wearing Indian leggings.
Crabtree whom I have heard of, to call his son Agreen, or because the old Puritan name had been in the family, or with a like original inspiration of luck and thrift to that which influenced the later christening, if you can call it such; and now, therefore, resulted Increase Muchmore Argenter.
