And I'll show the young gentlemen more ducks to-night than they ever saw in all their lives before. The Jaybird will carry all of us, if we're careful, and I'll just paddle them down along the edge of the marsh. After we've made our shoot, we'll come on down to the boat after dark, or thereabout." "Fine!" said Uncle Dick.
I met the chaplain on the boat while on our return, and remarked to him that, "Those mighty men who could kill a jaybird with a sling-shot a quarter of a mile off didn't stay to see the show."
"That's Rob's rifle!" exclaimed John. "Very likely," said Alex. "Bear, I suppose." The crew of the Jaybird bent to their paddles and presently passed in turn about the sharp bend and came up alongside the dugout, which lay along shore in some slack water. Rob was looking a trifle shamefaced. "Did you miss him?" asked John, excitedly.
Having finished this to his liking, he turned before they made the second trip on the Jaybird and her cargo. "Don't we catch any of those feesh?" he asked Alex, nodding back at the lake. "Fish?" asked John. "I didn't see any fish." "Plenty trout," said Moise. "I s'pose we'll better catch some while we can." "Yes," said Alex, "I think that might be a good idea.
Thar's a tenderfoot along whose name is Todd, an', as he's canterin' off, Jaybird comes a-curvin' up on his bronco an' reaches over an' tails this shorthorn's pony. "What's tailin' a pony? It's ridin' up from the r'ar an' takin' a half-hitch on your saddle. horn with the tail of another gent's pony, an' then spurrin' by an' swappin' ends with the whole outfit, -gent, hoss, an' all.
Before ever he offers to get up, he lugs out his six-shooter an' makes some mighty sincere gestures that a-way to shoot up Jaybird. But he's slow with his weepon, bein' spraddled out on the grass, an' it gives Dave Tutt an' Enright a chance to jump in between an' stop the deal.
All the boarders had their trunks out and everyone was saying to me: "Why don't you try to save your furniture?" I would take hold of some things to take out, but it seemed something would intimate, "Let it be." I walked down the street and Mr. Blakely, one of the men who was killed in the Jaybird and Peckerwood battle in Richmond said: "Are you insured?"
Unc' Billy looked down at Peter Rabbit and grinned. "Ah guess Mistah Coon done make a mistake when he went to bed in mah house," said he. And Bobby Coon sheepishly admitted that he did. "I'm Mr. Jaybird, tee-hee-hee! I'm Mr. Jaybird; you watch me! You've got to rise 'fore break of day If you want to fool old Mr. Jay."
He's runnin' onto us at a road-gait; an' when he's about two hundred yards off Jaybird turns out a yell to make you shiver, shakes a load or two outen his gun, goes surgin' out from 'round the p'int of rocks, an' charges straight at this onthinkin' tenderfoot. It is due to trooth to say, me an' Tutt follows this Jaybird's suit, only not so voylent as to whoops. "'Does it scare up the tenderfoot?
As Jaybird rides up to camp he sees this Todd rolled in his blankets, snorin' to beat four of a kind. "Nacherally Jaybird's out to be joyous in a second. He rides up close to this he'pless shorthorn as he lays asleep, an' tosses a loop of his wet rawhide across his countenance where it's turned up in the moonlight. As it settles down cold an' startlin' on Todd's skin, Jaybird yells: "Snake, Todd!
