23638Could I drive four horses in a cart, he asked?

23638My cargo smelt to heaven but what of that?
23638One man sang out to a friend across the street"Say, Jim, them looks like town- made legs and country made trousers, eh?"

11508After he had sat for some time, and consumed with anxiety to know the nature of his visit, I said:"Well, George, what is it?"
11508And, perforce, why should I not go to the mines and make my fortune?
11508But how could I do so, after all he had done for me?

11508Then turning to Gen. Ross, who had scarcely spoken a word during the day, he said:"General, what had we better, do?"

11508Would I go in company with General Miller and when could I start?
11508Would father never return-- had he been killed?

14023''Could there be happiness or comfort in such dwellings and such a state of society? 14023 Do you know William Stewart?"

14023Ai n''t you afraid of being in the woods by yourself?''
14023And it is said that the monster merely replied,"Do n''t you see I have no gun, Colonel?"
14023Did a flood of emigration inundate the frontier with an amount of consumers disproportioned to the supply of grain?
14023Did an autumnal intermittent confine the whole family or the entire population to the sick bed?
14023Did the safety of the frontier demand the services of every adult militiaman?
14023From what expedition had he ever shrunk?--what white man had ever seen his back?
14023Had he ever expressed a wish that a single captive should be saved?
14023Had he not brought seven scalps home with him from the last expedition?
14023He asked if_ he_ could be suspected of partiality to the whites?
14023He came forward with his slate and pencil, and the master began:''If you subtract six from nine, what remains?''
14023If you take three- quarters from a whole number, what remains?''
14023In regard to the question of Girty,"Whether the garrison knew him?"
14023Some of the ladies, as was natural, had no relish for the undertaking, and asked why the men could not bring water as well as themselves?
14023Was the frontier suddenly invaded?
14023What could they do?
14023What is your name?
14023When had he ever before interceded for any of that hated race?
14023Where their smiths''shops for making and repairing their farming utensils?
14023Where their tanners for making leather?
14023Which of their own natural warriors had been more zealous than himself?
14023Who were their carpenters, tailors, cabinet- workmen, shoemakers, and weavers?
14023Whose tomahawk had been bloodier than his?
14023and had he not submitted seven white prisoners that very evening to their discretion?
14023cried the master, beating him;''you stupid little fool, how can you show that?''
14023strangers, who are you?"
14023what is_ your_ name, then?"
135606"''What you doing here?''
135607"You do n''t blame me, do you, Billy, If I did go in and stay, Warming by your stove and fire, Just to hear what he would say?
13560Ai n''t he here?''
13560Ai n''t it purty?
13560Are you here with that-- that scoundrel, After all that I''ve gone through?
13560Both wheel hosses white- nosed sorrels, Lead team of a dun and gray?"
13560But this case is kind o''different; Though I ai n''t the kind that grieves, How you goin''to work that motto When the job gets up and leaves?
13560Can this thing be true?
13560Charging like you got a fit?
13560Do you stand there, fiend or human, After lending him your hand, First to break an honest spirit, Then to steal away my land?
13560Have you seen a prairie schooner-- Old style freighter-- pass this way?
13560I''m in earnest; let me ask you--''Cause I want to reason fair-- What durn business has that rope- necked Johnson sneaking over there?
13560Johnson ai n''t in-- just at present-- Wo n''t you stop and rest a bit?
13560Must a man who loves a woman Like a devil''s imp be driven Through the tortures of damnation For a single glimpse of heaven?
13560Now, ca n''t you see her?
13560One thing happened since you left there That I call a burning shame-- Did you know that rope- necked Johnson Jumped your eighty- acre claim?
13560Recollect?
13560Think I''d let them take my daddie?
13560Wal, let me tell you-- T''aint no use to take on so-- Where is Nancy?
13560Well, some others left''fore I did-- You remember Mac, of course, How he got the moving notion When Bill Kelly missed his horse?
13560What new game you playing now?
13560What you saying?
13560Where is Billy?
13560Where''s the girl?
13560Who''d a thought a man''s whole future Could get twisted up like this?
13560Why, Billy, where d''you come from?
13560You are friendly?
13560You gone crazy?

16274Are you really a good pilot, or are you lost?
16274I say, stranger, are you Kit Carson?
16274Addressing the traveler he asked,"What part of the world, pray sir, do you come from?"
16274Broadway, New York-- James Mordaunt, Esq., at his Office in Wall street-- Is he a Married Man?
16274Fort- Hill Cemetery--"Who is there to Mourn for Logan?"
16274He had some faults;( who has not?)
16274He was asked whether he ever saw there anything in the shape of gold which in any way aroused his suspicions?
16274In the course of the conversation which ensued, Johnston was asked, by the officer in charge of the recruits, what was the service he was engaged on?
16274Jones,"said the greenhorn,"you do n''t expect I''ll swallow all that yarn?"
16274Jones?"
16274L. Death of a New York City Policeman-- A Trial, Sentence, and Execution-- Ought Governors hold the Pardoning Power?
16274Occasionally his memory would not solve the question, what is the next course?
16274One of them quietly asked him--"Is that the way, youngster, you''se bin eddicated in perliteniss of manners?
16274The first question asked by the head chief was,"How do your white people get gunpowder?"
16274The trappers present all confirmed the truth of this statement by a solemn nod of assent to the query,"Ai n''t that true, gentlemen?"
16274This takes precedence over the commonplace question,"What''s the news?"
16274What was the bright thought which made the bold, the ardent, the energetic Kit Carson accept this menial office?
16274Where were the charts indicating the eligible camping grounds with their springs of pure water?
16274Where, then, were the published guides?
16274While upon the road, he accidentally fell in with a friend; and, in reply to the question, where have you been?
16274Who should perform the office of surgeon, was the knotty question?
16274Why did he aim at Kit Carson''s breast?
16274are you the famous Kit Carson, who knows this country so well?"
16274who''d believe a Mexican priest?
12493Do you suppose that he would use it if he thought that it was going to hurt him? 12493 Does He hear all the words we say?"
12493I''ll go, Bill,someone answered;"but wha do ye say ter go?"
12493Oh, how would it all seem?
12493Then, why does he use it himself?
12493We could do that all right in the daytime; but how could we work in the dark? 12493 Where shall I put them?"
12493''s, another feeling of shame came over him; and for some time he kept asking himself,"Why did n''t I act unconcerned like the boss?"
12493A screw- driver-- and will we need a hammer?"
12493And John asked quickly:"When will they go to town again?
12493And does it get very cold in here?"
12493And then as the new thought presented itself to his mind, he exclaimed,"I wonder why we could n''t get into that trunk the same as we did the chest?"
12493And would she sit by my bedside at night and hold my hand in hers while telling me stories that she had read?"
12493As Will cut a piece from the last plug, he glanced about over the piles and said with a look of satisfaction:"Now that ai n''t so bad, is it, boys?
12493But was the scene unnoticed?
12493But what was the matter?
12493Do you feel like preaching the gospel?"
12493He endeavored to fill his life with other things; but in his day- dreams he often pictured his mother, and wondered:"Was she like my aunt?
12493How in the world did you think of that scheme?"
12493How is it, my boy?
12493I wonder if we had n''t better try it some day when the old folks go to town?"
12493Is it true?"
12493Let''s see, what''ll we need?
12493On one occasion Will said:"Say, boys, did you ever hear the story about the man who walked upon the water?
12493Tell me, does it always make people sick?
12493Throwing the plug of tobacco through the iron grate of his cell, he said:"What brought me here?
12493To this John smiled and said:"Hey, Will, do you know what''s in that trunk?"
12493Want to see me?"
12493What keeps me here?
12493Why am I here?
12493Why have I been so foolish?"
12493Would she bind my bruises?
12493Would she take me and hold me in her arms while she smoothed my hair with her hand?
12493You would know how to make them, would you not?"
12493and do they ever die?"
12493asked little John in an awed tone, quite unable to comprehend his father''s meaning,"and does He look at us when we are asleep?"
12493the other answered, and added:"Whist, Tom, why ca n''t we git John''s turkeys?
12493why could n''t we make some?
12376Well, was it not, Judge?
12376Well,said he,"are you the one who measured the shote?"
12376What was it?
12376And how, to men, could they be otherwise?
12376And now let me submit; with such a picture hung upon the canopy of the future, and who shall say it is overdrawn?
12376But how then could I answer to God?
12376But on the other hand, what could we say?
12376But what was I to do?
12376I grant that the open field for this kind of labor is inviting to the Church members, but suppose they do not enter it, what then?
12376I inquired,"Who lives up here in this small house that we have just passed?"
12376On the contrary, if my feet are now in the path of duty then why hesitate?
12376One good sister, as she was gliding across the stream, enquired,"Is this Jordan?"
12376Shall the work be left undone?
12376The question that was ringing through my heart was this:"How can you preach to others what you do not know yourself?"
12376The shout of redeemed souls and the cry of penitents,"What shall I do to be saved?"
12376Then, turning to the offending brother, he added,"Brother, will you lead us in prayer?"
12376Well may the best of men say,"who is sufficient for these things?"
12376What could he do?
12376What was to be done?
12376Why did n''t you stop up at the white house on the hill?
12376Why, then, should I go into a spasm on the eve of an election?"
12376is it a matter of surprise that a young man should hesitate before accepting the position of an Itinerant?
12376mine enemy?"
27099America?
27099And how did you get here?
27099Australia?
27099But look at yer dunkey ther''all dress''d up in the Liberal colours?
27099England?
27099Hang it all, the horse is locked up already; what is the good of my locking him up?
27099Then where did you come from, my friend?
27099What''s your name?
27099Where do you belong?
27099Why?
27099Why?
27099Wull, but how''s this, I allus thocht ye was a Conservative?
27099Yes, is that so? 27099 Farmer Symes, you been an''voted?
27099Half- way down I suggested a halt, when one of the Arabs accosted me--"Which fella country you come from?"
27099He asked,"Any champagne?"
27099He called out:--"I say, Corfield, what are you wearing a coat for?"
27099He replied,"Know nothing about the gentlemen mentioned; why do n''t you stand yourself?"
27099He said,"I am his brother; he has bullock cars, has n''t he?"
27099I asked"Where?"
27099I crawled through, and when I reached the lodge gates, I was asked by a policeman stationed there, if I had been to Government House?
27099I said,"Are you sure?"
27099I then asked,"What are you firing at?"
27099It was laughable to see men take a bottle out of their pocket, saying,"Have a nip, mate, it''s only five shillings a bottle?"
27099Murray asked him,"Why do n''t ye lock him up?"
27099My mate said,"You been laugh?"
27099On returning to the room, the barmaid, who was quite pale, asked"Are you dead?"
27099Query-- at 1/- per needle, what would a ton cost?
27099Still, if one who thought he was Steele''s equal, proposed a game, the latter would ask:--"Shall we play the game, or all we know?"
27099What are you?"
27099which was the name of the Corporal,"Where track?"
23155Are you going to murder me?
23155Come,said Grayson, producing materials for writing;"here are pen, ink, and paper: are you willing to write as I dictate?"
23155Do you, indeed?
23155Have you no other''signs of promise''?
23155Is it possible,said she, with some asperity,"that you already care so little for me as to enrol yourself for an absence of six months?"
23155It''s Elwood''s horse, is n''t it?
23155Spread out earth''s holiest records here, Of days and deeds to reverence dear: A zeal like this, what pious legends tell?
23155What do you mean?
23155What for?
23155What_ did_ you mean then?
23155When was he stolen?
23155Whiskey is a pleasant drink, after all, is n''t it?
23155Wo n''t anything else satisfy you but a written certificate?
23155Yes, they are,answered Elwood quickly;"and we are here to know whether you intend to obey the authorities, and leave the country?"
23155[ 49] What had become of this immense population? 23155 And Napoleon, was he aught but an abridgment of the French nation, the sublimate andproof"essence of French character?
23155And if a deadly hatred of the Indian took possession of his heart, who shall blame him?
23155And what more perfect correspondence could be conceived between the moral and intellectual and the physical outlines?
23155In this juncture, what measures does he take?
23155Strengthen his fortifications, and prepare for war, as the men of other nations had done?
23155Such is the wife and mother of the pioneer, and, with such influences about him, how could he be otherwise than honest, straightforward, and manly?
23155The Indian has no humor, no romance-- how could he possess poetical feeling?
23155They were equal to the times in which they lived.--Had they not been so, how many steamboats would now be floating on the Mississippi?
23155We come, finally to the question of the Indian''s fate: What is to become of the race?
23155What was Cromwell but_ the Englishman_, not only of his own time, but of all times?
23155What wonder is it, then, if he was a prime favorite with all the women, or that his advent, to the children, made a day of jubilee?
23155What, then-- to apply the principle-- is the state of this sentiment in the Indian?
23155When Stone manifested some anxiety on the subject, she turned suddenly upon him and demanded--"You do not think our marriage legal, then?"
23155that''s it, is it?
22994And where,he asked,"would all this power and money center?
22994But these issues are not with the same imperious"Which?"
22994But what constitutional historian has made any adequate attempt to interpret political facts by the light of these social areas and changes?
22994But where is the proof of this?
22994Can these ideals of individualism and democracy be reconciled and applied to the twentieth century type of civilization?
22994Can you hem in such a territory as that?
22994Did"Populistic"tendencies appear in this frontier, and were there grievances which explained these tendencies?
22994Have we not here an illustration of what is possible and necessary for the historian?
22994How adjust the old conceptions to the changed conditions of modern life?
22994How did the frontiersman differ from the man of the coast?
22994How far was this first frontier a field for the investment of eastern capital and for political control by it?
22994How shall we conserve what was best in pioneer ideals?
22994In other words, has the United States itself an original contribution to make to the history of society?
22994Said Duquesne to the Iroquois,"Are you ignorant of the difference between the king of England and the king of France?
22994Sir, can it be pretended that the patriots of that day would for one moment have listened to it?
22994The Mississippi Valley is asking,"What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
22994The Northwest extends eastward to the base of the Alleghany Mountains, and does not all of western New York lie westward of the Alleghany Mountains?
22994The people before me,--who are you but New York men, while you are men of the Northwest?"
22994The result is stated by a writer in_ De Bow''s Review_ in 1852 in these words:--"What is New Orleans now?
22994Think, here_ Should this be done any more?_ We read of Balaam, in Num.
22994This called out Burke''s splendid protest: If you stopped your grants, what would be the consequence?
22994Were there evidences of antagonism between the frontier and the settled, property- holding classes of the coast?
22994What effects followed from the trader''s frontier?
22994What has it been in American life?
22994What is the West?
22994What more effective agency is there for the cultivation of the seed wheat of ideals than the university?
22994What were America''s"morning wishes"?
22994Whence comes all the inspiration of free soil which spreads itself with such cheerful voices over all these plains?
22994Where are her dreams of greatness and glory?
22994Where can we find a more promising body of sowers of the grain?
22994Why was it that the Indian trader passed so rapidly across the continent?
28670Cady, why did n''t you tell me about that$ 25 tax?
28670Cady,he said,"you know Pat Cannon, do n''t you?"
28670Did he make a strike?
28670Do you still want to buy?
28670How''s the chance for a game of poker?
28670Syndicate?
28670Tell you about it?
28670Well,I greeted him,"how much did you make last night?"
28670Why, did n''t I ask you if you had investigated the thing fully? 28670 Why, what about Warren, the man who found the mine, and Stevens, the man who grub- staked him?"
28670Yes?
28670You''re sure you''ve investigated the proposition fully?
28670Could the Indian then be blamed for his overwhelming hatred of the white man?
28670Did I ask you to go into the deal blindfold?
28670Did you know that?
28670His was the inferior, the barbaric race, to be sure, but could he be blamed for not believing so?
28670I glanced at the tree and asked him:"You would, eh?
28670Now, about how much would you give?"
28670Now, what can A do?
28670Reader, have you ever seen the look in a man''s eyes after he has been condemned by that Court of Last Appeal-- his fellow- men?

28670What do you say?"
28670What shall we do?"
28670What was the idea?
28670What''ll we do?"
28670What''s this talk in whispers, and that placard on the wall?
28670Would he buy the place?
28670Would he?
2898Shall we stand idly here considering formalities, while the redskins murder?
2898Could men go further-- as they had gone further in England not so many years ago?
2898Did they know gold or silver?
2898Gold?
2898Harbors they had found-- but what of gold?
2898How could they, these few folk far off in America, compete in products of the forest with northern Europe?
2898How should the English live, unless among themselves they lived in amity?

2898THE ADVENTURERS What was this Virginia to which they were bound?
2898The river broadened toward Chesapeake-- and then, before them, what did they see?
2898Was the South Sea just beyond their sunset slopes, or was it much farther away, over unknown lands, than the first adventurers had guessed?
2898Were they not all here in the wilderness together, with the savages hovering about them like the Philistines about the Jews of old?
2898What deliverance for those who had held on to the uttermost?
2898What might Sir Thomas Gates, the Governor, do?
2898What then?
2898What was a passionate royalist government doing in Virginia now that England was a Commonwealth?
2898What was the real nature of this world which had been found to lie over the mountains?
2898What was to come next?
2898What, even, of Cathay?
2898Who should rule, and who should be ruled?
2898Would the Company surrender the old charter and accept a new one so modeled?
2898Would they sell lands where the white men might peaceably settle, under their given word to deal in friendly wise with the red men?

214And answer this:''Are these times better than those?''
214And if my son''s a felon How can I show my face?
214And is it for this damned life we praise the god- like spirit that died At Eureka Stockade in the Roaring Days with the days when the world was wide?
214And who shall whistle round the place When Fortune frowns her blackest?
214But why be bitter?
214Could Mary or her sisters Hold up their heads again, And face a woman''s malice Or claim the love of men?

20232But, mother, are you sure?
20232Oh, sister, do you think he can be the little brother we have been praying God to send us? 20232 Well, mother, wo n''t you kneel down here by me, and pray for him again?"
20232And were we disappointed?
20232But as we take pleasant walks through our happy valley, what means this unusual sound that arrests our footsteps?
20232But where now are all those who then called that little quadrangle"_ home_?"
20232Comprehended did I say?
20232Do you see the lake that lies so peacefully at our feet?
20232How do you know but God has heard your prayer, and sent you this little brother?"
20232I am glad they prayed; did they think of this when they gained the victory in that first, fierce battle at Mill Spring?
20232In the course of my visit one of the daughters called out,"Lucy, where''s the fine needle?
20232Like a flash it came to me, and I replied:"Is this my brother Andrew?"
20232Malcolm, look at that little boy on the steps of our quarters; who can he be?
20232Mrs. Clark, I am not sick or in personal trouble, but do n''t you feel sorry that Moses is dead?"
20232Sometime in September the pioneer regiment arrived in pretty good condition at-- where?
20232The fort may be attacked, and should anything befall you, my best beloved, what would become of me?
20232The question now arose, where shall we find suitable food for our convalescent?
20232Then, as in a dream, I heard,"Where''s mother?"
20232Twice she reads this order, and then, looking up with a smile, says, with a slight tremor in her voice:"Is this all, beloved?
20232Were the Indians surrounding us?
20232What can it be?
20232What can it be?
20232What could it mean?
20232What if it was still cold, and there must yet be many stormy days?
20232What words can depict the scene that broke upon his bewildered gaze when the horse instinctively stopped about three miles from the fort?
20232Where did he come from?"
20232Who has not heard of him and his indomitable courage?
20232Why should I feel thus?
20232Why should it so distress you?
20232Why was it that they flew only a few rods and then fell dead?
20232You surely do not flinch from duty?"
20232You will return in better spirits and be happy again, will you not, my drooping lily?
20232_ Second_--Could the soldier be brought to submit cheerfully to the privation?"
20232are you sick or have you had bad news?"
20232father, is it you?"
20232how can you bear the thought?"
20232is he going to stay with us always?"
20232is this beardless boy the desperate mutineer of whom you have been telling me?"
20232tears again?
20232where did he come from?
20232who are now living of that gallant old regiment?
20232who can comprehend its entire unselfishness?"
259Did ever you see such a skin?
259Who''s for a juicy two- step?
259_ Who is it talks of sleeping? 259 __"Mother, mother, why should you fear?
259( Was ever so welcome the light?)
259-- Father, where is our boy to- night?
259A dollar?
259At last he made it out, and then the legend ran like this--"Will Klondike miner write to Peg, Plumhollow, Squashville, Wis.?"
259Beaten back to my corner, how can I hope to win?
259But what of the others that followed, losing their boats by the score?
259Can you forget it, its glory and its goad?
259Do you think the silent herd did not hear"The Mocking Bird", Or relish"Silver Threads among the Gold"?
259Have ever you heard a man cry?
259Have you ever sat by a frozen corpse that looks at you with a grin, And that seems to say:"You may try all day, but you''ll never jam me in"?
259Have you ever stood in an Arctic hut in the shadow of the Pole, With a little coffin six by three and a grief you ca n''t control?
259I''ll swear that somebody shook Me hard by the arm for a moment, but how on earth could it be?
259Is n''t that rather hell?
259Just to rest for a moment; was ever rest such a joy?
259Look at my face, it''s crimped and gouged-- one of them death- mask things; Do n''t seem the sort of man, do I, as might be the pal of kings?
259Look me all over from head to foot; how much would you think I was worth?
259Maybe I''ll fail-- what matter?
259Men of the High North, you who have known it; You in whose hearts its splendors have abode; Can you renounce it, can you disown it?
259Nothing doing?
259Now are n''t things like that enough to drive a man to booze?
259Or was it only a notion?
259River and plain and mighty peak-- and who could stand unawed?
259So what could I do( I leave it to you)?
259Was it a door that shattered, shell- like, under his blow?
259Was it a light I saw?
259Was it a man he was crushing, whose head he beat on the floor?
259Was it her lover, that wild thing, that twisted and gouged and tore?
259Was it his saint, that strumpet, dishevelled and cowering low?
259Was this he, Tellus, this marble?
259What of the poor souls that perished?
259Where in the world have I got to?
259Where is the hardship, where is the pain of it?
259Why is my heart so strangely stirred?
259You turn it down?
259_ Hark to the ewe that bore him:"What has muddied the strain?
259a dime?
259a nickel?
259did somebody holler?
259do n''t be hard-- have you got a dollar to lend?
259not dreaming a dream?
259sharp- edged as a javelin, was that a woman''s scream?
259what was that?
259would n''t that be tough?
20463How are you, Ned?
20463What does he say?
20463What for?
20463You do n''t know me?

20463Have they never been wronged by white men?
20463Have you never heard of the Sand Creek massacre?
20463How are you our enemy?
20463How could they do so but by swindling the poor Indians, who have no idea of the relative value of money, or the cost of goods?
20463If you are friendly, why do n''t you give us powder and bullets to shoot game with?
20463Listening to these words, the chief said,--"Brother, you ask much and promise much; what pledge can you give of your good faith?"
20463Looking out of the car window, I called my wife''s attention to a big Indian, and said,"Did you ever see such a big mouth before?"
20463One of Red Cloud''s party said,"If you are so strong and have so many warriors, why did you not keep your forts on the Powder River?"
20463One of his friends said to him,"Joe, why do n''t you go and call her in, you know you are glad to see her back again; you certainly want her?"
20463SHALL THE INDIANS BE EXTERMINATED?
20463She yielded, and her darling boy was left; but who can tell the agony of the mother''s heart during the following days?
20463Suppose I should go to your country, tear down your fences, and steal your cattle and your hogs, would you stand by and have no word to say?
20463Tell me, Father, could any living man on this earth stand such a thing as this?
20463The first thing to be thought of was, who should support the burden?
20463The general wished to go up the hill, but the interpreter begged him not to do so, and then rode to the bottom and called out,"How?"
20463Then a chief replied,"How?"
20463WHAT SHALL BE DONE?
20463WHERE DID THE INDIANS COME FROM?
20463WHY DO INDIANS SCALP THEIR ENEMIES?
20463WHY DOES NOT THE INDIAN MEDDLE WITH THE TELEGRAPH?

20463Well, he finally walked into the post- trader''s store, and asked Mr. Bullock if he did n''t think it made the officers_ faint_ when they saw him?
20463What have you your soldiers here for, unless it is to fight and kill us?
20463What is the reason you do n''t give it to me?
20463When"Stabber"sat down,"Black Hawk"( now_ en route_ for Washington) came forward and said,--"Where was I made?
20463Who raised the bow?
20463Whose voice was the first heard in this land?

21384Do you call it civilising them, to teach them the vices of the white men?
21384Do you think it likely that the wolves, when they have finished their horrible feast, will track us out?
21384He will be after saying to his wife,` Sure, what would be the use, Molly, of turning out to go hunting thim noisy spalpeens of dogs? 21384 Is Lily not Uncle Stephen''s daughter, then?"
21384Is he not your brother?

21384Do n''t you recollect me?"
21384Had our friends turned back; or had they pushed forward, fighting their way successfully towards the fertile region to which they were bound?
21384Had we any chance of escaping?
21384Mr Tregellis, whereabouts are you?"
21384The question now was, In what direction should I proceed?
21384What are you afraid of?
21384What does that mane?"
21384What had become of the rest?
21384What might be his fate, should he be captured by the Indians?
21384What will we be afther doing, Mr Mark, if it gets worse?"
21384You have got it all safe?"
21384You will ever be a father to him?''
21384do you take me for a baby?"
21384is it you, Masther Roger dear, alive and well?"
21384murther, but what are these bastes about?
21384sure, do n''t you hear the shrieks of the Indians?
21384where could she be?
21384where have you come from?"
21715An''d''ye know,continued Jasper,"what it is to be fallen- in- love- with, at first sight?"
21715And what has brought you such a long way into this wild wilderness?
21715Are there no women at the place?
21715But did you ever send it to her?
21715Come, it ai n''t a hopeless case, is it?
21715Did you leave your address with her?
21715Do ye know the name o''this red- skinned rascal?
21715Do you know this bullet_ with__ the__ marks__ of__ teeth_ in it?
21715Do you see that ball?
21715Have ye got anything to eat?
21715Have ye seen them?
21715Have you any idea who can have done this horrible deed?
21715Have you got all you want?
21715Have you seen the buffaloes lately?
21715How could I, when I had no address to leave?
21715How does the white man know that this was done by Darkeye?
21715How long have de Company lived?
21715How so, father- in- law,_ that__ is__ to__ be_,said Jasper,"were ye goin''out to your traps so late as this?"
21715How? 21715 I wonder how many trading- posts the Hudson''s Bay Company has got?"
21715Is Darkeye a dog that he should slay an old man?
21715It seems that one o''the men there, I think they call him Laroche-- but what makes you start, friend Jasper? 21715 May I ask where you have come from?"
21715May I venture to ask her name?
21715No, you''re not a dog,cried Jasper fiercely;"you are worse-- a cowardly murderer?"
21715That''s true, father, but supposin''that all goes well with you, will ye come an''live with Marie and me?
21715Well, Jasper, you''ll spend the night with us, wo n''t you?
21715What have you shot? 21715 What is that?"
21715What''s yon in the water? 21715 Who is in charge of it?"
21715Why, where did you learn that?
21715Will they come as enemies or friends?
21715You?
21715Ah, what should we do without hope in this world?"
21715Come, will you eat or smoke?"
21715D''ye know what it is, Heywood, to fall in love at first sight?"
21715Did it never occur to these same wicked individuals, that woman is just as much at the bottom of all good?
21715Did true love ever run smooth?
21715Does Arrowhead agree with me?"
21715Does Jasper remember the trading store and the_ bitten__ bullet_?"
21715Have ye got anything to smoke?"
21715Have you arrived lately?"
21715I fancy_ you_ have no objection to stop here another day, Arrowhead?"
21715I see-- a grey swan-- no, surely, it can not be a goose?"
21715Is the canoe ready?"
21715Of course you''ll accompany us, Jasper?"
21715Red River,"exclaimed Heywood,"I''ve heard much of that settlement-- hold steady-- I''m drawing your_ nose_ just now-- have you been there, Jasper?"
21715What say you, Arrowhead; shall we go straight back?"
21715Yet she could not help adding,"But perhaps, as you say, you have been in this part of the world before, you may have some one in your mind?"
21715cried he,"can it be you?"
21715do n''t I?"
21715exclaimed Marie, becoming still more interested in the stranger, and blushing deeply as she asked--"You have friends there, no doubt?"
21715what do you mean?"
21715what have you shot?"
3073117 Does the bold savage color of this picture affright us?
3073And the windowpanes?
3073And was it any wonder that they now doubted the love the parent State professed to feel for them?
3073As for the puerile threat of blood, had their quality really so soon become obliterated from the memory of North Carolina?
3073Cornstalk, in irony, demanded of them; No?
3073He may have put the question to them in the biblical words, Whither shall I flee?
3073He sees ahead-- the days of his great explorations and warfare, the discovery of Kentucky?
3073If Daniel be beside her, what does she see when she looks at him?
3073Or were these, the ethical tenets of almost all uncorrupted primitive tribes, transmitted from the Indian strain and association?
3073Shall we first kill all our women and children and then 126 fight till we ourselves are slain?
3073Surrender to those damned banditti?
3073What of the man?
3073Who is there to mourn for Logan?
3073Who shall venture to say it is not better worth preserving than many a classic?
3073Would we veil it?
22179Do n''t it make you mad to hear of that pleasure trip?
22179Well, what in the world,I said,"is the matter?"
22179What mark is on them? 22179 Why ca n''t you make me a pulpit?"
22179Why what''s the matter with the west?
22179Why, what''s the matter?
22179A man was asked, why did you return to the west, after having gone back to New York and having spent two years there?
22179An old Indian woman came in and made loud cries of dismay when she saw my wastefulness, saying,"Why did you throw this away?"
22179As he came up he asked,"Young man, do you know of a good piece of land which can be bought?"
22179At the time of the outbreak she said to me,"Kinnesagas?"
22179Did n''t she talk to me and revile me?
22179Did you ever make a pork apple pie?
22179Finally Mrs. Cowan asked,"Do n''t you like music, Judge?"
22179Finally, he said,"Fellows, I ca n''t stand this, I must shoot that chicken, you wo n''t tell if I do?"
22179Had he not foreseen the future possibilities of this great water- power?
22179Has anyone ever told you how terrible the mosquitoes were in the early days?
22179Have I ever seen the Red River carts?
22179Have you ever been in great danger where all was darkness where that danger was?
22179He called,"Who goes there?"
22179His answer was,"There are only six beds in there, what more could you want?"
22179How many girls of today could walk that many blocks?
22179How much?
22179I asked her if she did not like the Indians better than the whites and she said in Chippewa,"If I do, why do I not stay with them?"
22179I remember once our Probate Judge came along and asked,"Have you any stalks I can chew?"
22179I said,"For God''s sake, what is the news, Jim?"
22179I said,"What are you doing to that pie?"
22179I thought,"What must I do?"
22179I would go in the pasture and say,"Is that you nice gooses?"
22179If each mesh is not flawless, if age has weakened them, does not the pattern remain?
22179If not, where lies the blame?
22179In the morning, the proprietor said,"I have a job of work I want done-- is that your chest?"
22179Instead of taking a girl out driving or to the theatre, a young man would ask,"Wo n''t you go walking on the boardwalk?"
22179Mrs. French said"Why ca n''t us women go too, on a pleasure trip?
22179My host said,"I suppose you know what this is?"
22179On the way up, I kept wondering, am I painter, blacksmith, shoemaker, carpenter or farmer?
22179She said,"August, where''s the other men?"
22179The braves began to ask questions about little Susan,"Is she good squaw?
22179They just said"Chippewa?"
22179They used to ask for coffee and one who had been to school said,"Could I have a green pumpkin?"
22179Those unsung heroines should not their heroism be heralded while some still live?
22179Was it made in the old Godfrey House, or was I only dreaming?
22179Was n''t she stylish for a girl who was married New Years day in 1844?
22179Was n''t this a jolt?
22179Was this the first Cataloo?
22179Was this the first flag made in St. Anthony?
22179We said,"Ai n''t you afraid?"
22179Were these not, indeed, children?
22179What could we do?
22179What did we have to eat that first year?
22179What do you women nowadays, with your hospitals and doctors know of a time like this?
22179What is the cure?
22179When my husband saw me going toward the door he said,"What are you going to do?"
22179When ready for a light he walked up alongside of me and said,"Jones, have you got any matches?"
22179Where are all those drivers?
22179Where could I hide?
22179While preparing breakfast she heard one of the gentlemen say--"Hello, little fellow, what are you doing with my toe?"
22179Who by?
22179Why do I think he foresaw all this?
22179Would you want to spend your life where the people twenty feet away do not know your name or care whether you live or die?
22179You go?"
22179You see that road out there?
22179is this Sunday?
22179meaning,"are you afraid?"
16644Are there not dangers enough on land without courting the dangers of the sea?
16644Art struck with the sea fever, son?
16644But how is it the lad was not with them?
16644But, husband,she added,"what shall we do with our increase?
16644But,protested poor Dan, who was beginning to feel that the journey might not be all his fancy had painted,"suppose they should n''t offer it?"
16644Didst thou find it?
16644Dost see what a pretty border we have made? 16644 Dost think, Mother, that he will surely bring Zeb back in time for the feast?"
16644Dost think, brother, the Indians have waylaid them?
16644Dost thou not need some one to cook on thy boat?
16644Farming ai n''t such plain sailing; is it? 16644 Hast found the lad?"
16644Hast thou ever brought over a cargo of slaves thyself?
16644How in the world did that dog get out?
16644Jest spilin''to get out, ai n''t ye?
16644Josiah Pepperell, of Cambridge?
16644Nay, but,he said,"shall we limit the bounty of the Lord and say,''Only here shall He prosper us''?"
16644Oh, Daniel,she cried, smothering a sob,"what if the p- p- pirates should get thee?"
16644Oh, Mother,he shouted,"am I really to go?
16644Shall we go on as if we had not seen him?
16644Short of sense, ai n''t ye?
16644Think ye not that the finger of the Lord would direct us by this visitation?
16644Well, then,said the Captain,"why do n''t ye get a black?
16644What became of the sailor?
16644What dog? 16644 What further shall you do to find him?"
16644What hath a pioneer lad to do with fear? 16644 What in God''s providence brings thee here, Thomas?
16644What in tarnation is the matter with ye?
16644What is his name?
16644What is sea gold, Captain Sanders?
16644What of the gun, Father?
16644What say the Scriptures to him who was not content with abundance, but must tear down his barns to build bigger?
16644Where did you find the lad?
16644Where have you been all the morning?
16644Where''s thy father, young man?
16644Why must Gran''ther Wattles come?
16644Among the rest, red- faced and short of wind, who should appear but Captain Sanders?
16644But it is unseemly to bounce in the meeting- house, and besides, is he not the tithing- man?
16644Do n''t ye ever feed him?"
16644Dost thou not know that the eye of the Lord is in every place?
16644Doth Captain Sanders know?
16644Have ye thought of getting an Indian slave to help ye?"
16644Leaving Penny nibbling grass, he ran to meet them and threw his arms about his father''s neck, crying,"Oh, dear father, art thou hurt?"
16644Nancy, Daniel, have you ever seen these faces before?"
16644Nancy, child, why art thou so wild and reckless?
16644Oh, Mother, dost think God will cause the lightning to strike us dead to punish me?"
16644Oh, Mother, is n''t dinner almost ready?"
16644Oh, dost think it is Zeb?"
16644Shall I go clear to Providence?
16644What ails ye?"
16644What shall I draw?
16644When do we start?"
16644Where could the children have gone?
16644Where is he?"
16644[ Illustration]"Oh, Father,"breathed Dan,"may I go, too?"
16644[ Illustration]"Well, Thomas, how hast thou prospered since I saw thee last?"
16644cried her brother, aghast,"dost thou not remember what happened to the forty and two children that said''Go up, thou bald head''to Elijah?
16644he shouted at last,"what ails ye all?
16644shouted the Captain, seizing them by their tails,"where are your manners?
28572Ai n''t you got nobody to take care of you?
28572But are n''t you mistaken when you say you have been saving for your mother''s tombstone for twelve years? 28572 But, darlint,"said Mrs. O''Shaughnessy,"supposin''it''s married your man is?"
28572Can any of you tell me how to get to Kendall, Wyoming?
28572Do women_ have_ to change their names when they marry?
28572Frau O''Shaughnessy,she said severely,"what have you here?
28572Haf they run you out of camp, you iss so bad?
28572Have you got your answer?
28572Have you the cloth?
28572How can you know just what to do, and then have the courage to do it? 28572 How did you learn it all?"
28572Is there a Joseph in the family?
28572My_ goodness_,she exclaimed;"is that_ all_?"
28572Then,she said,"which of you are Tea and which Coffee?"
28572What are them fellys pow- wowing about down in the sage?
28572What is the little girl''s name?
28572What is the matter? 28572 What iver is the matter with ye?"
28572What''s your name?
28572Where are your folks?
28572Where is your home, b''y?
28572Where should I be? 28572 Where''d you get that kid?
28572Who says God is not merciful? 28572 Why do n''t you leave this place?
28572Wo n''t you come to bed and rest?
28572You write her once in a while, do n''t you?
28572_ What_ chased you?
28572A few days before we left the ranch I telephoned Mrs. Louderer and tried to persuade her to go along, but she replied,"For why should I go?
28572And what have you been doing to him, anyway?"
28572And_ you_, best of friends, when shall I see your beloved face?
28572Are me children covered and warm?"
28572Are you hurt?
28572As soon as he saw Elizabeth he sprang from his saddle and said,"''Liz''beth,''Liz''beth, what you doin''here?"
28572As we were starting Mr. Stewart asked the game- warden,"Can you tell me if Wallace White is still stationed here?"
28572DEAR, DEAR FRIEND,-- Can you guess how happy I am?
28572Did I tell you we left Junior with his grandmother?
28572Did you ever see the kind of freight outfit that is used to bring the great loads across the desert?
28572Did you notice the freckles of her?
28572Do you like to live that way?"
28572Do you mind any good lesson that she taught us in the cabin beyont?"
28572Haf you any goose- grease left?"
28572Has my trip interested you, dear friend?
28572Have you not seen their bones every mile or so along this road?
28572How haf you come by these?"
28572I do n''t need to tell you of the"good mon,"do I?
28572If he is dead, may I stay on with one of you and perhaps get a school?
28572Iss it to freeze?
28572Now ai n''t that fine?
28572Now who is the seventh man?"
28572Stewart?"
28572Suddenly she leaned over toward them and said:"Will ye tell me something?"
28572Then I asked,"Why did n''t you ask about him at Pinedale or any of these places we have passed?
28572They do n''t know nothin''about sore shoulders and hard pulls now, so why do n''t you shut up and let them and me rest in peace?''
28572This does n''t seem much like a letter, does it?
28572Vat?
28572What do you think about it?"
28572What is your name?"
28572What of it?
28572What''s the b''y''s name?"
28572When he did come, he was excited; he laid a picture on the table and said,"Do any of you recognize this?"
28572When they got two dollars''worth sold, the blueing company would send them a big doll; so, please, would we buy a lot?
28572When you people come back will you stop and ask for the mail for me?"
28572Where do you live?"
28572Where were you, Stewart, during the storm?"
28572Where will they bury him?"
28572Why did n''t you shoot?"
28572Why not go away somewhere else, where it will not be so hard to start?"
28572Why?"
13724An''is it sheddin''tears ye are upon the blessed gunpowther? 13724 An''isna he a skilly man?"
13724And have you seen a wolf, too, that you have lost your tongue?
13724And he is not dead?
13724And how do I know in what sort of key the herders on the Keowee talk? 13724 And tell me, friend Feather- pate, why did it seem good to you to shoot a wolf in the midst of a herd of cattle?"
13724And who is this pretty little girl?
13724And why am I not as good as any grandson?
13724And why not?
13724And why should you not be an ambassador, sir?
13724Are you afraid, Nan?
13724Be they mightily troubled at Blue Lick Station?
13724Can you see Colonel Grant, the Barbarous? 13724 Did you hear of any Queetlees in Charlestown?"
13724Do you suppose she really knows anything about it?
13724For God''s sake, what have I done?
13724For what, Colannah?
13724For what? 13724 Looking out for me, I wonder?"
13724Of what did he talk?
13724The great Eeon- a said all that to you?
13724The king''s troops? 13724 The soldiers?"
13724The wolf that we were talking about? 13724 What for?
13724What will you do, then,he asked slowly and significantly,"when Colannah takes up arms against the British government?
13724When I took the boy Jan Queetlee-- why do I call him thus, instead of by the name he has earned for himself, the noble Otasite of Tennessee Town?
13724Why come?
13724Why did you not instead bewitch the woman?
13724Why have n''t they sent word to the soldiers?
13724Why is my pretty pet so idle?
13724You think I can take care of you?
13724_ N''tschutti!_( Dear friend) he said once in eager propitiation;"_ Gooch ili lehelecheu_?"
13724''Qu''il est mauvais,''rà © pond Anthime...''Mais l''aves- vous lu?''
13724( Do you lie?)
13724( Does your father yet live?)
13724And what perchance might lurk within instead of the object of this search?
13724And why ca n''t she let me dress in peace as I was early trained to do?
13724As Varney, half crouching on the ground, noted the latter in the dusk, he cried out precipitately,"Robbed you of what?
13724Auween won gintsch pat_?"
13724But after all, if a story is well told, why carp at slight anachorisms?
13724But how did Amoyah know that already they had trodden those significant circles, each with his shadow?
13724But how?
13724But how?
13724But what flout of Fate was this?
13724Could a ray of guiding light be caught from without across this high, guarding barrier of tiers of seats?
13724Could he hope, all unaccustomed here, to turn in that restricted space to retrace the way?
13724Did I ever tell you this?
13724Had he not best go to see at once about it?
13724Had they an inalienable right to cut each other''s throats?
13724How did he know, forsooth?
13724How many o''them big wathery tears have yez been after sheddin''into aich o''them lovely ca''tridges?"
13724If I, who can choose, prefer it, why not you?"
13724Ought she to have interfered, with what forces it was possible for her limited capacity to wield?
13724Poaching?--shooting their wolf?"
13724Quen''ajoute- t- il que Fulvie et Mà © lanie l''ont condamnà © sans l''avoir lu, et qu''il est ami de Fulvie et de Mà © lanie_?"
13724Should she have so presumed?
13724Then turning to O''Kimmon he asked point- blank,"Chee- a- koh- ga?"
13724Was it right?
13724Whence should a shadow fall?
13724Who are they?
13724Who is that who has just come?)
13724Will you fight men of your own blood?"
13724Would not the powder, the precious powder, be ruined?
13724Would the commandant respond?"
13724he asked again, in a soothing smooth cadence,"for what, my comrade, my benefactor for years, my best- beloved friend-- avenged on me for what?
30320An''''Where wuz Josh Clark?'' 30320 But if there were, how could one''s heart Be hard enough to murder mother- love?"
30320But, then, what mattered it? 30320 One night our friend came up to my shack, and having visited a while he said:''Old man, you''re up against it hard, ai n''t you?''
30320Wherein, mister?
30320Why are you not?
30320Why should I be?
30320Yes, but how can I?
30320''Who are you, and what do you want?''
30320After a few minutes of easy conversation, the minister abruptly cut all Gordian knots and said:"Mr.----, are you a Christian?"
30320After a few more days:"Father, how many more miles do you think?"
30320But they were only Indians, and what rights had they?
30320Characteristically he blurted out:"Do you see anything about me that indicates it?
30320Does not the so- near savage easily backslide?"
30320Having had to accommodate himself to the rudeness of a civilized woman, he made other provision for his cayuse and then asked her,"Wheh yo''man?"
30320He could interpret Hays, but could he be trusted?
30320How can I go back blind to my blind people?
30320How can I go back with both eyes closed?
30320How could he be made to understand?
30320How do you think that would seem to you?"
30320How does it seem?
30320In my first primeval childhood, Was I nurtured by thy side?
30320In the heavens are parents single?
30320In thy holy habitation, Did my spirit once reside?
30320Is n''t it a wonderfully long way to Oregon?"
30320She never murmured other than to ask occasionally:"Father, how much farther?
30320So that''s why I lived all alone, do n''t you see?
30320Some hypercritical person, and possibly some sincere soul, may ask:"Did such revival do any permanent good?
30320We begun to round ol''Pocatello up, an''he seemed to smell a rat or somethin''wuss, an''started up Pocatello Crick yander, that there cañon, see?
30320What do you suppose he wants?"
30320What is it like?"
30320What matter how the night behaved?
30320What matter how the north wind raved?
30320When I leave this frail existence, When I lay this mortal by, Father, mother, may I meet you In your royal court on high?
30320When shall I regain thy presence, And again behold thy face?
30320Who cares for a squaw any way?"
30320Who has not fearsomely anticipated that which never came and wasted valuable energy and time in building bridges none are ever to cross?
30320Why do you ask such a question?"
30320Would not you, sir, like to know personally as to its truth?"
30320did you say?
33684Congratulations--"Thanks"--"Special Commendations,"Etc.--A Soothing Balm(?)
33684How much of a pile did you pull out of me at Bear Creek(?)
33684Any experience(?)
33684As we approached Weatherford-- I began to give some thought to the two alleged detectives or constables(?
33684I happened to be at the Adjutant''s office--"Is the Gineral in"?

33684What good could six months or a year, or even longer, of hard drill or long drawn out intensive training have done these men with war already on?

16623Do you expect to go to heaven, and do you think the man who married you and then discarded you will go to heaven too?
16623Goin''up to the house? 16623 Have you any objections?"
16623How iss it,he demanded,"dat you haf not so much sense as you haf tongue?
16623Is that you, Mat? 16623 Just how is she related to you?"
16623Listen to her now, will you?
16623Mamma,said Kittie, the largest of the little girls,"if Aunt Deb does buy a new coat and you get her old one, then can I have yours?"
16623Mamma,she said,"did God really make the baby?"
16623Now, tell me,he asked, as he fastened the canvas to a wheel,"did n''t you think I was an old devil at first?"
16623Then she is your wife, is she not?
16623Then,said Mrs. O''Shaughnessy,"whose children are these?"
16623This is the 7 Up,--Louderer''s,the boss called back;"what''s wanted?"
16623Wall,he said,"air you spying around arter that gold mine I diskivered over on the west side of Baldy?"
16623Well,I asked,"where_ can_ I go?"
16623Well,he continued,"what does he mean by letting you gad about in such onconsequential style?"
16623Well?
16623What in the world is the matter with you?
16623What is your name?
16623What the deuce was you fellers kicking up such a rumpus fer last night?
16623What''s the matter with your shirt, it''s soaked with blood?
16623Which Stewart?
16623Who is their father?
16623Who tell it ye?
16623Who''s in the wickiup?
16623Why,he asked,"do New Yorkers always say_ State_?"
16623You blamed blockhead, do n''t you know?
16623You did n''t know me, did you, Mother, with my pretty new things? 16623 A little thing like wall- paper put on upside down do n''t bother me; but what_ would_ I do if I were asecond"?
16623And how iss it that we haf come de camp by und so starved as we iss hungry, and no cook und no food?
16623And then indignantly,"How many cackle- berries does you want?
16623As I rode up, he said,"Whither, friend?"
16623Ca n''t yez tell it be me Cockney accint?"
16623Could more be asked of any man?
16623Did you ever eat pork and beans heated in a frying- pan on a camp- fire for breakfast?
16623Do n''t you believe that?
16623Do n''t you know she was a dainty bride?
16623Do you remember, I wrote you of a little baby boy dying?
16623Do you wonder I am so happy?
16623Hey?"
16623Is it too late?
16623Is n''t it queer how sometimes, do what you can, work will keep getting in the way until you ca n''t get anything done?
16623Is n''t that a sweet picture?
16623Iss dat for why you iss paid?"
16623It is strange, is n''t it?
16623My house faces east and is built up against a side- hill, or should I say hillside?
16623No?
16623Now would n''t that little speech have made her welcome anywhere?
16623Rather a dismal prospect, was n''t it?
16623Shall I send them to you?
16623She hobbled to the door and pounded with her poor twisted hands, calling all the while,"Cory, Cory Belle, what ails you?"
16623Soon he asked,"Are you goin''somewheres or jist travelin''?"
16623The branches had torn off the bag in which I had my bread, so it was lost in the forest, but who needs bread when they have good, mealy potatoes?
16623Then he asked,"Air you spying around for one of them dinged game wardens arter that deer I killed yisteddy?"
16623They suspected us of laughing at them, for Archie said to Aggie,"Aggie, lass, is it sport they are making of our love?"
16623What d''e want to make it any worse for?"
16623What do you think of us?
16623What is the use of giving us a half- finished baby?
16623What the deuce makes him sing so much?
16623What the''ell would you do with a woman in the''ouse if you could n''t corner''er?
16623When we went to the house Mr. Stewart said,"Weel, when are you douchy bairns gangin''to the kirk?"
16623Who wants to stand among these smelly cows all day?"
16623Whose outfit is this?"
16623Whose woman are you?"
16623Winters, have you met Miss Em''ly?
16623Wo n''t you make it easy to"''fess"so I may be happy again?
16623You''d think I wanted you to homestead, would n''t you?
16623he persisted,--"C.R., S.W., or H.C.?"
16623he said;"are you goin''to camp here?"
19419And you, Mr. Klitz, what have you to say?
19419Any of the rest of your people wounded? 19419 Are you going to the farm?"
19419Are you seeking for any one?
19419But I thought you wished to gain information from him?
19419But are you able to move?
19419But do you think that we can depend upon the information this girl gives us?
19419But might they not, then, have been surprised and overcome?
19419But what about the possibility of the farm being attacked by the Indians? 19419 But what can have become of the others?
19419Can they possibly have passed us?
19419Can you give me any information about my other friends?
19419Do you draw?
19419Do you not love me in return?
19419Does your sister draw?--I conclude that young lady is your sister?
19419Friends,he shouted,"do you want to lose your scalps?
19419Have they done any harm on their march?
19419How comes it that you are wandering in this forest by yourself?
19419If you were free, what would you do?
19419Is he dead?
19419Is it not possible that she may have been sent merely to beguile us into an ambush?
19419Might I be so bold as to ax where your honour comes from now?
19419Now we are here, how are we ever to get out again?
19419Sure, your honour, are they not all sleeping sweetly as infants in their bunks?
19419Then what are we to do, Uncle Jeff?
19419Then you grant my request?
19419We have already heard something of this,said Uncle Jeff, looking as unconcerned as he could;"but how did you happen to know about it?"
19419Well, what news?
19419What brings you here?
19419What can have become of Clarice and Rachel? 19419 What can have happened?"
19419What do you say to my plan, lieutenant?
19419What does all this mean?
19419What has brought you back?
19419What have our braves been doing?
19419What is there to stop them? 19419 Where is she now?"
19419Where were you going, you rascals?
19419Where will Maysotta remain while you are up in the mountains?
19419Who are these enemies you speak of; and how do you happen to know that they are coming to attack us?
19419Who can these be?
19419Who is that man?
19419Who is there?
19419Why do you put the question?
19419Why not?
19419Will they be punished for what they have done?
19419You heard what I said to your sister?
19419A grove of trees of no great extent was before me, and their trunks would afford shelter; but what about a fire?
19419And Uncle Jeff, what he do; and Bartle and Gideon?"
19419And what become of Jenny, Nancy, Polly, and all de oder cows, and de pigs and de poultry?
19419Are you certain it is correct?"
19419But what had become of the German and the fat Irishman?
19419But where is he?
19419Had Uncle Jeff escaped the bullets of the enemy; and had the others managed to cut their way through the horde of savages?
19419Had he been washed off, or struck by a bough?
19419Had it escaped, notwithstanding its wound?
19419Had they waited quietly the return of their escort; or had any hostile Indians discovered them, and carried them off as captives?
19419Had they, afraid of fighting in the open, remained in the house, and fallen victims to the flames?
19419Has he been unable to come and look for me?"
19419How are your sister and your father?
19419How did you manage to lose us?
19419How should I be able to tell her of it?
19419How were we to get him down the mountain?
19419I shouted;"where are you?"
19419If I did not ask them, how could I expect them to grant me what I want?
19419My companion started, and gazing at me attentively, asked,--"What was your mother''s name?"
19419Should we by any means be able to reach the shore, so as to escape being carried along with the raft?
19419The question now was,"How were we to cross the lake?"
19419To whom could it belong?
19419We have a good store of powder and bullets, with trustworthy rifles and muskets; and what more, pray, can men wish for?"
19419What do you say, Mary?"
19419What has become of your comrades?"
19419What if we had got into a channel of some river, which might rush rapidly along, pouring over some terrific cataract?
19419What say you to my proposal, Bartle?"
19419What were those words?
19419What, too, had become of the German and the Irishman?
19419Who was to take charge of them?
19419You have heard of Jeff Crockett, boy?
19419You would like some food, I guess?"
19419and what has become of your rifle?"
19419are we all going to be drowned entirely at the bottom?
19419do n''t you always trust in God?"
19419do you not know me?"
19419he exclaimed;"and are you two young ones left on the prairie alone?"
19419my little maiden, were you not frightened at seeing those fierce horsemen galloping up to your camp?"
10030All right,said I as I took them,"but where will I meet you again?"
10030And what do you propose to do with us now?
10030Are you going to turn us adrift here?
10030Are you the lad who is going to drive to- day?
10030Blarst your heyes, driver, why do n''t you let them go?
10030Captain, what does this mean?
10030Do you expect to catch those buffaloes on that Gothic steed?
10030Does it?
10030General, how about this mule, anyhow?
10030Good enough, Bill; you shall have the horse; but are you sure you can find your way on such a dark night as this?
10030How did you surprise my camp without a struggle? 10030 How is this?"
10030How long will it take you to commit your part to memory, Bill?
10030How many of you are there?
10030How much are the costs?
10030I ca n''t allow any such business as this, Cody,said he,"what do you mean by it?"
10030I thought you promised to come into the Opera House by the private entrance?
10030If I give you the horse and mule will you proceed at once to Fort Lyon?
10030McCarthy, shall we dismount and fight, or run?
10030Mr. Willis, there comes old Gobel, with Frank and somebody else, and they are after me-- what am I going to do?
10030On foot?
10030Wa- al, now, stranger,exclaimed one of the crowd,"what kind o''critter have you got anyhow, as how you''re afraid to back him up very heavy?"
10030Well, old boy, you''re alive, are you?
10030Well, sir, what are you going to do about it?
10030Well, sir; will you at least agree not to interfere any further with the quartermaster''s agent at Sheridan?
10030What are you doing out here?
10030What chance is there to trade for him?
10030What does it mean?
10030What is your business here to- day?
10030What the deuce do you mean? 10030 What''s the matter?"
10030Where are you going, young man; and who''s with you?
10030Where is the black abolition jay- hawker?
10030Where''s your command? 10030 Where''s your horse?"
10030Who fired that shot?
10030Why, did we not give them to you-- did you not bring them to camp in the ambulance?
10030After they had disarmed us, Simpson asked,"Well, Smith, what are you going to do with us?"
10030And where is the satisfaction, And how will the boys get square?
10030Bob would occasionally look down from his seat, and, seeing their frightened faces, would ask,"Well, how do you like staging in this country now?"
10030Buntline now came into the room and said:"Boys, how are you getting along?"
10030Buntline, whose ire was rising, said to Nixon:"What rent will you ask for your theater for next week?"
10030By giving the reds more rifles?
10030Did I hear the news from Custer?
10030Do I hear any man who wants to come agin me on them yer terms?"
10030Finally Bache said, good- humoredly:"Is this the way you break in all your Lieutenants, Major?"
10030Have you got your company yet?"
10030He looked up as I entered, and startled me by saying:"You little rascal, what are you doing in those''secesh''clothes?"
10030He said-- as if it were in the play:"Where have you been, Bill?
10030How does that beautiful spot down in the valley suit you?"
10030How does that suit you?"
10030How long will it take you?"
10030I asked;"What are they saying?
10030I exclaimed;"did n''t we spend any money on grub at all?"
10030I had no blank forms, and had not yet received the statutes of Nebraska to copy from, so I asked the man:"Where is the fellow who has got your horse?"
10030I suppose you''re pretty tired after your long journey?"
10030I was ushered into the General''s presence, and as we had met before he recognized me and said:"Hello, Cody, is that you?"
10030Invite them to take more hair?
10030Massa Bill, am dat you?"
10030My father, in the course of the conversation with her, said:"Do you know Elijah Cody?"
10030Opening a window, she coolly sang out, in a firm tone of voice:"Who are you?
10030Simpson?"
10030The next day we met him by appointment, and the first thing he said, was:"Boys, are you ready for business?"
10030The officer then called up another policeman, and Bill again asked:"How many of you are there now?"
10030The wagon train was a mile in the rear, and when it came up, one of the drivers asked:"How are we going down there?"
10030Then addressing myself to the bride, I said,"Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband through life, to love, honor and obey him?"
10030Then he sang out,"Massa Bill, is you got any hawd tack?"
10030Then there seemed to follow a kind of hurried whispering-- a sort of consultation-- and then some one called out:"Who''s there?"
10030They were asked:"Do you know who this man is?"
10030What do you want here?"
10030What for?
10030What has kept you so long?"
10030What is his name?"
10030What the mischief do you mean by the cue?
10030Where is the animal?"
10030Where''s General Penrose?"
10030Who are you?"
10030Who under the sun are you, anyhow?"
10030Would n''t you like to have a partner in your enterprise?"
10030are you the boy that was riding there, and was called the youngest rider on the road?"
10030the leader of the Danites?"
21466And you, Mr Klitz, what have you to say?
21466Any of the rest of your people wounded? 21466 Are you going to the farm?"
21466Are you seeking for any one?
21466But I thought you wished to gain information from him?

21466my little maiden, were you not frightened at seeing those fierce horsemen galloping up to your camp?"
18875Afford it?
18875And have you any idea of how many millions of acres of land that is, and how many millions of blades of grass like this there are in each acre?
18875And supposing we have bad luck?
18875And where will you be?
18875And will you be enjoying it up here?
18875Bored?
18875But it''s better to do that than have him shoot_ you_, is n''t it?
18875D''you know what''s going to happen?
18875Dinky- Dunk,I demanded,"what would we do if Babe should die?"
18875Dinky- Dunk,I said, as I turned over my pillow and got comfy again,"would n''t it have been hell if all our wheat had been burned up?"
18875Do n''t you suppose I ever think what it''s meant to you, to a woman like you? 18875 Do you love me?"
18875Give up? 18875 Has my Gee- Gee a big sadness in her little prairie heart?"
18875Have n''t you a rifle?
18875Have n''t you,I demanded,"have n''t you any explanation for acting like this?"
18875Have you any idea of how far it is from the Rockies across to the Hudson Bay and from the Line up to the Peace River Valley?
18875Have you got a gun?
18875Is the varnish starting to wear off?
18875My God, Gee- Gee,he cried,"have n''t you given up enough for me?
18875So you think you will?
18875So you were pretty sure of me, Kitten- Cats, even then?
18875That whale?
18875Then why do n''t you ask it?
18875Well, what?
18875What does she make you think of?
18875What does this mean?
18875What''s the matter, Lady Bird?
18875What-- what will they do with him?
18875When?
18875Where did you ever hear that?
18875Why are you smoking out here?
18875Why is it,he asked,"a writer in Westminster Abbey is always a genius, but a writer in the next room is rather a joke?"
18875Why not?
18875Why, Honey Chile, did n''t I get_ you_?
18875Why?
18875Why?
18875With that cow?
18875You''re not going down there?
18875You''re not going to leave me here, Dinky- Dunk, in the middle of this wilderness?
18875You''ve got what?
18875_ The railway''s going to come!_"Come where?
18875Am I crazy?
18875And d''you know what I''m going to do if certain things come my way?
18875And what is there, really, after that?
18875And what shall I say, or how shall I begin?
18875And why should I be afraid of what every woman who would justify her womanhood must face?
18875And why, oh, why, are women sometimes so absurd?
18875As for me I love''em, I love''em, and who shall dare To chide me for loving that mushroom fare?
18875But I could see right away that he was a gentleman( I_ hate_ that word, but where''ll you get another one to take its place?)
18875But what''s the use of having an idea or two in your head if you ca n''t air''em now and then?
18875Ca n''t you wash''em clean?"
18875Do I love my Dinky- Dunk?
18875Have n''t you sacrificed enough in coming out here to the end of nowhere and leaving behind everything that made life decent?"
18875He mildly inquired where and what?
18875How would you act if you beheld a big blonde Valkyr suddenly introducing herself into your little earthly affairs?
18875I could see him stare at me a little awkwardly and contritely( what woman ca n''t read a book and study a man at the same time?)
18875I said,"how could I be bored with all these discomforts?
18875I threw my wet sponge after him when he turned back in the doorway with the mildly impersonal question:"Who''s your fat friend?"
18875I wonder if I''m selfish?
18875I wonder if husbands and wives really_ do_ get to be alike?
18875I wonder if most of us are n''t like that fly, mystified by the illusion of light that fails to lead to liberty?
18875I wonder why?
18875I wonder?
18875I wonder?
18875I''ve been wondering, Matilda Anne, if this all sounds pagan and foolish to you, uncultured, as Theobald Gustav would put it?
18875Instead of taking the towel he took my hand, with the very profane ejaculation, as he did so, of"Oh, hell, Gee- Gee, what''s the use?"
18875Is it all wrong?
18875Is n''t it funny how those foolish old things stick in a woman''s memory?
18875O God, O God, if it_ should_ turn out that I do n''t, that I ca n''t?
18875Or can it be that the mere spectators demand culture, to take the place of what they miss by not being actual builders and workers?
18875That sounds as though I were getting to be a real farmer''s wife with a vast knowledge of soils, does n''t it?
18875Then Dinky- Dunk called out to Olie, from the back platform:"Did you get my message and paint that shack?"
18875Then I turned on my husband and called out to him, in a voice that did n''t quite seem like my own,"O God, ca n''t you wash''em_ clean_?
18875Then he said, rather thickly:"Are you all right?"
18875Was n''t it Emerson who somewhere said that the firmament was the daily bread for one''s eyes?
18875Well, can you wonder that I stared, all eyes, when Dinky- Dunk brought home a figure like this, in the shape of a Finn girl named Olga Sarristo?
18875What d''you suppose I''ve been calling you Boca Chica for?"
18875What man would n''t be impressed by such bodily magnificence, such lavish and undulating youth and strength?
18875What would you do if you discovered a Norse goddess placidly surveying you from a green wagon- seat?
18875When Olga was gone, however, I said to Dinky- Dunk:"Is n''t that a limb for your life?"
18875Who Goes There?
18875Who could be gloomy under such golden skies?
18875Why ca n''t some genius invent a self- washing fry- pan?
18875Why must life sometimes be so ruthlessly tragic?
18875Would I object?
18875Yet I wonder if, after all, the one is so much better than the other?
18875_ Do_ I?
18875_ I''m going to love my Dinky- Dunk._ But, oh, is n''t it wonderful to wake love in a man, in a strong man?
18875_ Monday the Twelfth_ What would you say if you saw Brunhild drive up to your back door?
18875_ Wednesday the Seventeenth_ Do you remember Aunt Harriet who always wept when she read_ The Isles of Greece_?
19928Ai n''t dey some way to stop that, corporal?
19928And meantime having my beasts eating barley by the bucketful so that I wo n''t have enough to get through? 19928 Are you ready, Jim?"
19928But you have come through all alone, my friend; why should I not go? 19928 Did you see the smoke?"
19928Do you suppose I can rest one conscious minute until I know what has become of my babies?
19928Do you want me, Pike?
19928Has the whole Apache nation come to reinforce them? 19928 Is it a panther?"
19928Is papa there?
19928Just save a little breakfast for the captain and me, will you? 19928 May I say a word to the captain?"
19928Now, is your rifle all ready?
19928Of course I can, corporal, but where are you going to sleep?
19928Oh!--can''t I take a pop at him?
19928See?
19928That you, Manuelito?
19928That you, Pike? 19928 There''s your Indian, James, my boy,"softly laughed Pike and, turning, he called back into the cave:"Ned, are you asleep?"
19928Well, why did n''t they attack you, then, Al?
19928Well, wo n''t you at least wait and camp here a day or so? 19928 What d''you want?"
19928What did you see? 19928 What is it, then?"
19928What is it?
19928What''s thim for?
19928Where are you?
19928Where did you leave them, captain? 19928 Where is he gone?"
19928Where you at?
19928Where''s Manuelito?
19928Where''s papa?
19928Where''s the captain and the wagon?
19928A hundred yards off the road they halted and Gwynne called back into the darkness:"How''s Manuelito getting on, Pike?"
19928Are the horses all right?
19928Are you ready, Jim?"
19928At their head rode two officers, and one, he knew at once, must be his old captain, but why that bandage about his head?
19928But how was he to conceal the severed side line?
19928But what on earth are they bunched so for?
19928Ca n''t I come to you now?
19928Could it be one of the Apaches?
19928Could it be the sentinel from the other side?
19928Did none of you see?"
19928Do let me have one shot at them?
19928Got it?"
19928How are the kids-- sleeping?"
19928Is he all ready, Manuelito?
19928Is n''t it so, pet?"
19928It could only defer the moment of their capture and then-- what would be the fate of those poor little ones and of honest old Kate?
19928It''s Captain Gwynne?"
19928King He Drew Little Nell close to Him Manuelito Was shuffling about the Fire Apparently doing Nothing"Where''s Manuelito?"
19928Now are you game for it, Jim?"
19928Now can you find that point where we turn off the road to get into the rock corral?"
19928Now what did that mean?
19928Now, can you do it?"
19928Out of the fire light and back to the grazing ground he must get the horse at once-- but what then?
19928See?"
19928See?"
19928The first question he longed to ask was:"Has the captain got back?"
19928The old trooper would shed his heart''s blood in their defence, but what would that avail against a gang of howling Apaches?
19928WHAT CAN HAVE HAPPENED?
19928Was he not conscious that her eldest boy must be now fourteen, named for him, Martin Pike, and a young American all through?
19928Was it possible they had abandoned the pursuit?
19928We''d make some of''em sick Indians; would n''t we, old girl?"
19928What can have Happened?
19928What can have happened?
19928What can it mean?
19928What cared he for Apaches?
19928What could it mean?
19928What did I tell you?"
19928What has happened?"
19928What''s the matter back there?"
19928What''s the reason your man has n''t fired?--the man behind the rock that I told you to kill?"
19928What''s up?"
19928When they were out of earshot of the ambulance he turned:"Have you heard nothing-- no hoof beats?"
19928When would that be?
19928Where could that have come from?
19928Where is Al Sieber?
19928Where the old comrades from Verde?
19928Where-- where can the father be?
19928Which way did he come?
19928Who can say with what love and yearning the father bent over those little faces as he peered in upon them?
19928Who on earth can it be?
19928Why should not he?
19928Why the rude sling in which his arm was carried?
19928Wo n''t you give old Pike some coffee now, and some bacon and_ frijoles_?"
19928You and Nellie hungry?
19928You''ll take care of her, wo n''t you, Ned, my boy?"
19928[ Illustration:"WHERE''S MANUELITO?"]
19928the rifles rattled up the rocky slopes, but where could the bullets go?
37110And what, by frontier folk?
37110What do we mean by the frontier?
23388Bless you, Flo,said her father tenderly,"and what did you ask for,-- success in our new enterprise?"
23388But why should I not go rather to the Cliff Fort?
23388Can you remember what it was about?
23388Did n''t I,continued the little lady, pursing her little mouth,"did n''t I advise you to do so at the time?"
23388Did you happen to hear the name of the place?
23388Did you tell him,asked Mrs Gambart,"that in the event of his not wanting the mill you would gladly take it yourself?"
23388Do n''t you think,said Bob,"that it would be well to leave their wraps alone till we get them up to the fort?
23388Do you feel sure of getting an answer to that prayer, Flo?
23388Francois,said he,"did you have much conversation with McLeod before he dismissed you on the way down?"
23388From what port?
23388Good,replied the fur- trader,"can you let me have a copy of the plan to- morrow?"
23388Have you bad news?
23388How d''ee do, Bellew?
23388How, then, can you expect me to buy the place?
23388Ian,he said to his first- born, as he refilled his tin can with tea,"how many more timbers have you to prepare for the dam?"
23388Indeed? 23388 Just so, father, and why not?
23388Killded?
23388Monsieur?
23388Monsieur?
23388Not bad, eh?
23388Now, what will you say if we fail in this enterprise?
23388Now,said Gambart,"is n''t this vexing?
23388On which side of the creek have they begun to build the mill?
23388Skin broke, sir?
23388Truly, I like it well,said Redding, as he turned again to look at the cottage,"are you its architect?"
23388Vat you knows about she?
23388Well, father, that clears up the matter sufficiently, does n''t it?
23388Were you in danger, my pet?
23388What do you propose to do in the circumstances?
23388What have you been givin''him?
23388What is it all about?
23388What like a place is it?
23388What may that be?
23388What was your ship''s name?
23388What were you about to say, Flo?
23388What''s the use of asking him?
23388What''s wrong, Mr Smart?
23388What? 23388 Where got you him?"
23388Where you come from?
23388Where you go--_go_?
23388Where?
23388Whereabouts is the boundary line?
23388Whereabouts is this property that you talk of?
23388Why such haste?
23388Wo n''t that be a sort of humiliating confession?
23388Wo n''t you let me stay, father?
23388You''ll start at once, then?
23388Your_ only_ flower,exclaimed Flora,"why, what do you call Ian, and Kenneth, and Roderick?"
23388_ Seems_ unfortunate?
23388A good fire on a coldish night is cheery-- ain''t it, Mister Redding?"
23388Could n''t we borrow, in the meantime, from Gambart himself?"
23388Den ve convarsatione''bout de fur- trade, an''de--""Well well,"interrupted Redding,"but what was the last thing, just before he sent you off?"
23388Do n''t you think we might, father?"
23388Do you think of settling down here?"
23388Have you any to spare for us?
23388How can you be so dirty?
23388How''s Brixton?"
23388I have not been guilty of trespassing, it seems, on your Company''s reserves?"
23388Le Rue, how are''ee?
23388Not hurt, Francois?"
23388Sharpeye, where are you off to?"
23388To be sure Gambart could not know that, but-- but-- why did the fellow go and buy that mill for me?
23388What have we here?
23388Why did you not deliver it with the first?
23388Why, what could be more so?
23388You''ll do it to- day, I suppose?"
23388and what is the objection to it that you spoke of?"
23388another letter?
23388exclaimed McLeod, grasping the proffered hand,"can I venture to believe my eyes?"
23388exclaimed Redding, looking up suddenly,"have you seen the McLeods?"
23388exclaimed Redding, waxing indignant more at McLeod''s tone and manner than his words,"wherein have I deceived you?"
23388exclaimed Redding, with a look of sudden surprise,"what was the name of your place in Partridge Bay?"
23388exclaimed the fur- trader,"but why named Loch Dhu, which, if I mistake not, is the Gaelic for Black Lake?"
23388exclaimed the surveyor, in surprise,"what mean you?
23388he asked, after shaking hands with the Indian and giving him the salutation,"watchee?"
23388if he guides us to failure will you count that an answer?"
23388the McLeods have come, have they?"
23388troblesom, eh?
23388vat you say?
23388who care for dat?
35973Have you seen any Indians?
35973Sergeant, have you got any money?
35973Does anybody know?
35973He replied:"Ca n''t you stick a knife in it?"
35973How about the wives of the army officers of that day, who shared with their husbands the dangers and hardships of frontier life?
35973How long had it been in its resting place?
35973How much more ignorant was he than the most of us?
35973I had made a number of casts when a voice from somewhere called out"What luck?"
35973I made some remark about the weather which seemed to meet his approval but directly he asked me:"About how much money do you think you will need?"
35973I said to him:"Well, do you believe it now?"
35973The captain said:"Sergeant, have ye got any money?"
35973The last morning he was there I said,"Well Colonel, how is it this morning, prairie chicken or steak, or both?"
35973The question may occur to some of my readers how could all your household goods be carried in one wagon?
35973They may not be of great importance now, but how was it forty or fifty years ago?
35973What guardian angel accompanied him and kept him from harm?
35973What kind of a God is it who would accept such an atonment or approve of its offering?
35973What motive had he?
35973What race of people buried their dead that way?
35973What would have happened if I had waited?
35973What, cut loaf sugar?
35973When I asked,"Why, Charlotte, what is the matter?"
35973When I got close enough I said,"Spencer, how are you going to get a fire?"
35973When did this lava flow occur?
35973Why Sandy, I said, we got ten pounds of each kind on Saturday, which kind do you want?
35973Why did he do it?
35973Would the turkeys have killed the snake, or the snake some of the turkeys, or would the turkeys have gotten tired of the game and quit?
21703Ai n''t_ that_ a place for a king to live in, daddy?
21703An''how came it there?
21703An''wo n''t there be the bones and feathers for the rest of us?
21703Are ye sure it''s_ not_ one of Nelly''s old mocassins?
21703Are you sure, Roy?
21703But come, now, what have you got for dinner, Roy?
21703But is n''t it an_ awful_ long way?
21703But is n''t to- morrow Sabbath?
21703But the way home,suggested Nelly,"do you know it?"
21703But what about Wapaw?
21703But what if we do n''t get home in the fall?
21703But you know what it is?
21703Ca n''t you mend it?
21703Camp- out?
21703Catching ducks, Roy, what is the notion?
21703Come, Black Swan,said Walter,"you do n''t agree with us-- what think ye?"
21703Come, Molly,said Robin, commanding his feelings with a great effort,"han''t ye often read to me that wi''God all things is possible?"
21703Come, let''s go on-- are ye tired, lad?
21703Could n''t we stay here a short time?
21703Could n''t ye make these reasons public?
21703D''ye say so?
21703Do n''t you see it, Nell?
21703Do you like rabbit soup?
21703Hast got a deer, father?
21703How big may that be?
21703How big, Nelly?
21703I say, Nell,said Roy, just as they were about to leave the camp,"do n''t the sled look smaller than it used to?"
21703Is it tay ye want? 21703 It is, but we have an_ awful_ long time to travel; have n''t we all our lives before us?
21703It''s so awfully absurd looking, but can you see? 21703 Look here, Nell, what call ye that?"
21703May I venture, Roy?
21703Now, Nelly, what think you of my helmet?
21703See? 21703 So it is-- never mind, we can make another-- there''s a tree that will make a first- rater down in the hollow, d''ye see it, Nell?"
21703The less time we lose in follerin''of''em the better-- what think ye, lad?
21703To be sure, Nelly; ha''nt I seed ye do it often on the slopes at Fort Enterprise?
21703Was Wapaw with Hawk when they were attacked?
21703Well, what were you fighting with?
21703What am I to do now?
21703What are you going to do with the sled?
21703What does the Black Swan think?
21703What is to be done now?
21703What would ye say yonder objic''was?
21703What''s the matter?
21703What? 21703 What_ is_ to be done?"
21703When shall we set out?
21703Where-- oh yes-- just by the grassy place where the rock juts out into the water with the sun shining on it? 21703 Why not?
21703Why so grave, Robin?
21703Would the red man like to pitch his wigwam there?
21703After a short silence, she said somewhat timidly--"Do n''t you think we might try to pray?"
21703But I say, Wapaw, do n''t ye think the redskins may be after you yet?"
21703By the way, does a thought jump_ into_ a man''s brain or_ out_ of it, I wonder?"
21703Come, Larry, have''ee got any more tea there?"
21703Did he say what his name was, or where he came from?"
21703Did ye pack your own bundle very tight?"
21703Did you ever shoosk, father?"
21703Has the redskin brought some''at with him?"
21703Have ye no word of welcome for a chum after a month''s absence?"
21703Have you cut yourself?"
21703Have you had enough to eat?"
21703How say you, Slugs?"
21703I say, Nelly, what''s all this?"
21703If our lives are long, we''ll manage it; if they are short, why, we wo n''t want to manage it, so we need not bother our heads about that?"
21703Is that a beehive over there?"
21703Let me think-- ay, that''s it-- you''ve got your belt?"
21703Remember, too, what mother often told us-- that-- that-- what is it she used to read so often out of the Bible?
21703Roy echoed it, as a matter of course,( who ever did see anyone yawn without following suit?)
21703The Indian took no notice of these remarks, but turned to Robin, who, with a look of deep anxiety, said--"Have''ee seed the childer, Wapaw?"
21703We''ll drag home the deer, and then see what is to be done with the--""Oh,_ what_ is it?
21703What say ye to that, comrades?"
21703What snow- shoe made_ this_ track?
21703When the Black Swan''s head appeared, Roy exclaimed in a whisper,"An Injun-- d''ye know him, Wapaw?"
21703Where did he say he was goin''when he left you?"
21703You wo n''t object to take her in, Molly, when we''re away?"
21703` Are ye ready?''
21703ai n''t you cold?"
21703boy, where are_ you_ bound for?"
21703can this be true?"
21703cried Robin, while a sigh of relief burst from him:"I believe ye, Wapaw, yer a true man an''would n''t tell me a lie, would ye?"
21703duck, what''s wrong?"
21703exclaimed Dame Gore in surprise;"is he dead?"
21703how did you get them?"
21703how sleepy I am-- too late to have another nap, I suppose, eh?"
21703is it the honeymoon ye spint here?"
21703is that smoke risin''over the bluff yonder?"
21703made the trees and all?"
21703what are they?"
21703what shall we do?"
21703what_ shall_ we do?"
21703why, one would think you were a born Injun; what is''t all about, lass?
21703without sleep or supper?"
25980Ai n''t you going to search the ground for Otto''s trail?
25980And what am_ I_ to do?
25980Are not the hunting grounds of the Shawanoes beyond the Great River?
25980But what can we do?
25980But what was the matter with you? 25980 But who were the Indians?"
25980But why did they turn him over to the strangers?
25980Can Wimmoroo make sure the Shawanoe did not leap in the air and then place his feet on the ground where they were before?
25980Deerfoot, you remember I told you that while I was in the lodge of Ogallah, an Indian came in who was one of the five that had taken Otto away?
25980Deerfoot,said Jack, pinching his arm,"you could beat William Tell himself, if he were living, with the bow, but what''s the use of talking?
25980Deerfoot,said the youth, placing his hand on his shoulder, and looking him earnestly in the eye,"where is Otto Relstaub?"
25980Did Lone Bear dwell with Allomaug?
25980Did he leave the shore?
25980Did the pale- face run away when the skies were dark, or was it when the sun was in the sky?
25980Does my brother make no error?
25980Has not_ he_ seen him?
25980How many suns ago did the Pawnee part with the pale- face?
25980How was it, Deerfoot, that that Indian was roaming through the woods on this side of the river, without a gun?
25980How will he know any thing of Deerfoot?
25980I wonder what led him to volunteer?
25980I wonder whether Deerfoot will find it?
25980If I should walk back to Martinsville, and stride up and down between the houses, would n''t the folks open their eyes? 25980 My brother has learned naught of the pale face?"
25980Suppose the Pawnees_ do_ come this way-- what then?
25980The Shawanoes are brave warriors?
25980Vere did you got him?
25980Vosn''t dot fooney?
25980Was the Great Spirit pleased?
25980What did the eyes of Wimmoroo tell him?
25980What do you suppose Deerfoot once asked me?
25980What does Deerfoot think?
25980What does he know about Otto?
25980What in the name of the mischief_ is_ the matter?
25980What mischief can be going on?
25980What tribe bought him from the Pawnees?
25980What''s the matter now?
25980Where are the companions of my brother?
25980Where?
25980Who are the bravest warriors that hunt through the wilderness and over the prairies?
25980Why did n''t they take the gun? 25980 Why does Deerfoot come to the camp of the Pawnees?"
25980Why does Deerfoot wander so far from his hunting grounds?
25980Why does Lone Bear speak in riddles? 25980 Why does my brother the brave Hay- uta smile?"
25980Why is the Shawanoe whom you call Deerfoot journeying toward the hunting grounds of the Pawnees?
25980Why not?
25980Why, then, should he act as he did? 25980 With whom did he go?"
25980Would n''t that be a pretty thing for me to carry?
25980''Who gives you the sunlight?''
25980All which being so, the question came back again where could Deerfoot be?
25980Brandishing his bow aloft, he emitted a shout of defiance and called out:"Why do not the Pawnees run?
25980But had he in reality perished?
25980But none now was in sight, and who of them all was able to outwit the Shawanoe in woodcraft and cunning?
25980Can Lone Bear tell Deerfoot of his friend?"
25980Could it be possible that such a strategy had been used?
25980Do you thank Him when you lie down at night, and when you rise in the morning, and through the day?''
25980Do you think we are squaws who are ill, that we will let a dog bark at our heels without kicking him from our path?"
25980Had he bounded across the creek?
25980I do n''t suppose you can tell when you are likely to get back?"
25980I wonder whether they will ever grieve for Otto if we go back and tell them he is dead?"
25980If the captors of Otto Relstaub had put him to death, was it by a quick taking off, or had he been subjected to torture?
25980If they had kept their captive, where else could he be except with them?
25980If two of the original warriors were present, where were the others?
25980Is none of their warriors fleet enough to seize Deerfoot when he is lame?"
25980One of these was the natural one, that, if the Pawnees had happened to have the German lad in their custody, by what means did he hope to recover him?
25980Otto threw back his head and laughed in his old- fashioned, hearty style, adding:"Do you dinks I vos_ very_ sick?"
25980Still holding the hand tenderly in his own, he asked in a gentler voice:"Does my brother see the face of the Great Spirit now?"
25980Supposing Hay- uta had not been present, what would have been the result?
25980The two of course talked in the Indian tongue and I give a liberal translation:"What does my brother know?"
25980Was it a wise thing, therefore, when months before, he had flung aside his gun and taken up his bow again?
25980Was it not likely they were out of sight only for the time being?
25980What am_ I_ to do?"
25980What can it mean?"
25980What is the totem of the young warrior called Deerfoot?"
25980What more probable than that some of those aggrieved tribes had determined on a retaliatory policy, by sending a strong party to chastise the Pawnees?
25980What youngster could withstand such temptation?
25980When the touching story was ended, Jack looked at his friend and asked:"Do you think he is dead?"
25980Who bade you come to the camp of the Pawnees?
25980Whose shouts cause their enemies to tremble and call on the Great Spirit to protect them?
25980Whose war- whoop makes the pale- faces run to their cabins and hold their doors closed?
25980Why could n''t he draw it, and leaping forward, bury it in the side of his captor before he could save himself?
25980and would n''t mother conclude that her Jack was doing well?"
25980asked Jack;"why do n''t you go with us?"
25980he asked, launching out in that vain- glorious boasting, so characteristic of his race:"who drove all other red men before them?
25980he asked;''who makes the moon and stars to light your feet at night?
25980who gave you your good mother, your health, your food and drink, your clothes, your life?
365And what flower did you wear, Seyavi?
365Eh, why?
365Him? 365 What good will your dead get, Seyavi, of the baskets you burn?"
365Who? 365 Why did n''t he work it himself?"
365A stately plant of the lily family, but why"false?"
365And why trails if there are no travelers in that direction?
365And yet-- and yet-- is it not perhaps to satisfy expectation that one falls into the tragic key in writing of desertness?
365Bill?
365But how were they to know that?
365But what dead body of wild thing, or neglected game untouched by its kind, do you find?
365How does a cat know when to eat catnip?
365It can do much, but how do you suppose he finds it out; what instincts or accidents guide him?
365Of what account is it to lack meal or meat when you may have it of any neighbor?
365One who goes often into a hill country learns not to say: What if it should rain?
365Says Jim Jenkins,"What was the matter of him?"
365Why do western bred cattle avoid loco weed, and strangers eat it and go mad?
365is that heather?"
365shall a man be a saint before he is dead?
38039( Who is that?
38039( Who''s that?)
38039( Who''s that?)
38039By this time the"Kid"had backed to a streak of moonlight coming through the south window, asking:"Quien Es?"
38039McNab shoved a cocked pistol at McClosky''s head saying:"You are the s-- of a b-- that''s got to die before harm can come to these fellows, are you?"
38039On entering the room,"Billy the Kid"walked up to within a few feet of Pat Garrett, who was sitting on Maxwell''s bed, and asked:"Who are they, Pete?"
38039The Mexican jailer asked;"Quien es?"
38039The"Kid"replied:"How are you, Jesse?
38039With pistol pointing at Poe, at the same time asking in Spanish:"Quien es?"
38649And to what purpose would we preserve them?
38649How long ago?
38649Were they ever civilised?
38649Where are their ancestors?
38649Where did the natives come from?
38649Where did they land first?
34844And when will you return to Nikumi and Mary?
34844And you will leave your wild life of the prairies to go back to the tame existence of rural English life? 34844 But why need I do it?"
34844I can not tell; I hope before many moons; will you grieve to have me go Nikumi?
34844Take the child--where, and for what?
34844Take the child,her child and his?
34844What are you going to do with Nikumi and Mary?
34844What has become of the Nebraska wind of those days? 34844 What have you got?"
34844After looking at these ghastly certificates of prowess in Indian warfare I said to the possessor:"Do you still like to go into fights with the Sioux?"
34844And Nikumi?
34844And with only three or four frightened, irresponsible people to save her, perhaps from a similar or worse fate?
34844As soon as the lad left, one Indian went to the window and asked"Where boy go?"
34844Could Gale have seen her would he have relented and left the child to her?
34844Going away again as he had come to her many seasons ago?
34844Has it been the history of the union of the stronger and weaker races that the stronger have given up their desires?
34844He did n''t like my screaming but followed me into the sitting room and upon seeing mother lying down said,"White lady sick?"
34844How long would the hoppers remain?
34844How should she take it up again?
34844I asked,"What are you doing here?"
34844I do not worry about myself, then why do you for me?
34844I was scared, but I managed to gasp,"Sioux?"
34844If this be true, I wish you would show me these trophies of your courage and victories?
34844Is there none to hear their cry?
34844Just as he was about to start, his employer said to him:"Hunter, where''s your coat?"
34844My heart sank within me as I thought but did not say,''How can I ever live in a place like this?''"
34844North?"
34844Oh, where are the students of scientific research and domestic economy?
34844Or do you wait in silence, race outrun, The march of ages in their onward flow?
34844The delectable mountains were always ahead of us-- would we ever reach them?
34844The thought recurred to me so often, why is it men are so cruel to each other-- wolfish in nature, seeking to destroy their own kind?
34844Was he going to leave and sail down the great river to the St. Louis whence came all traders and the soldiers on the boats?
34844What rights had she compared with this English gentleman who had taken her from her tribe, and now would cast her back again and take away her child?
34844What will the next fifty years bring?
34844When do your boats go down again?"
34844Where are the seas of rosin- weed, with their yellow summer parasols, which covered the prairie in those days?
34844Would she be an Indian or an English maiden?
34844Would the old progenitors return?
34844Would they deposit their eggs to hatch the following spring and thus perpetuate their species?
34844You will go there to that land?"
34844you teach school?"
15307''An thae trees?''
15307''And how did you come-- what started you-- where did you get the passage money-- how did you find your way here?''
15307''And is your mother in Glasgow?''
15307''And then what will we do if there is no wind?''
15307''And what is the price you put on it?''
15307''And where is your father?''
15307''And your husband addresses you as Jedu; what name is that?''
15307''Did you ever taste coffee like that?''
15307''Did you never get lost?''
15307''Did your mother leave you nothing?''
15307''Have I not to go back to prison?''
15307''How are we to get off?''
15307''How came he to know I wanted land?''
15307''How much is he ready to deposit?''
15307''I suppose,''he added,''we have nothing more to do than order his being sent to Greenock for examination and trial?''
15307''Is it not an awful black hole to put Christians into?''
15307''Is this all?''
15307''Lost your bearings, eh?''
15307''Now what is to be done first?''
15307''O, Mirren, have you dropped from the sky?
15307''Should the boatie cowp, who would save him gin I was na at hand?''
15307''Supposing I buy the lot, how am I to get into it?''
15307''Tell me your name?''
15307''That means some work?''
15307''This is our new farm,''shouted Allan in her ear,''A''this ground and the lakie?''
15307''Were you not at the surveyor- general''s office this morning and left your name?
15307''What business have you to enter here?''
15307''What would you do there?''
15307''When I am on the hillside alone with the yowes I will be praying God may be with you-- when you are in the bush, will you not be praying for us?''
15307''When will he be at liberty to see me?''
15307''Where did your mother belong?''
15307''Where is she?''
15307''Where is the warrant for Kerr''s arrest?''
15307''Whose bairn are you?''
15307''Why do n''t you all sing?''
15307''Why do you call your son Sal?''
15307''Will the fellow, who knows now where she is, not plan a second attempt?''
15307''Will you go quietly or will I put these on?''
15307''You will not leave him?''
15307''You''re a Scotchman,''remarked the gentleman,''What part are you from?''
15307An Englishman asked,''When had the King become unable to pay the parson?''
15307Asked him if the conditions on which the lot was granted did not require him to open a road?
15307Can you count?''
15307Could he find out how she was?
15307Did he not come to these woods to hew out from the heart of them a home for those he loved?
15307Did you ever hear of Peter Russel?
15307Did you ever see that book?
15307Did you have breakfast yet?
15307Do they not desire to be beside me and is it not my duty to sustain and comfort them while life lasts?
15307Ever hear a negro hymn?
15307Facing him, I said,''Is not your name Archie?''
15307Guess it was the same in David''s time as in ours-- the women did the heft of the singing?''
15307Had they anything they could recite from memory?
15307Have you any brothers or sisters?''
15307Hugh was dazed when he saw the jailer did not follow''Where are we going, father?''
15307I am cold, I said, and, please, might I warm myself?
15307I could not go further than Who is the Redeemer of God''s elect?
15307I cut him short by asking''How much?''
15307I must walk, of course, but how was I to live on the road?
15307If I go, what will be allowed me for the improvements I have made?
15307Is money- help all they can claim from me?
15307Is not that your mind, Ailie?''
15307Is sending them so many dollars a month all the command to honor father and mother means?
15307Is that the way to build up Canada as British?
15307It was awakening new life in the forest, and why not in him?
15307Jumping on board, he asked''What is keeping you here?''
15307Mr Kerr who was, like all of us, excited by the accident, asked,''You mean me?''
15307Nothing wrong with them that sent you here?''
15307One question troubled him, and that was, How the Buffalo scoundrel had come to know where Tilly was hid?
15307Pausing, she cried,''Tompkins, what does that common- looking man want here?
15307Pressing half a crown in my little fist he moved to get beside the driver, when Robbie cheeped out astonished,''Is Gordie no to go wi''us?''
15307Say what you want?''
15307Shall I place other cares between them and me, leaving them second instead of first?
15307She was stooping in the garden cutting greens for dinner when a voice behind her asked,''Hoo is a''wi''ye, Mirren?''
15307Should he not accept it?
15307Such an arbitrary law as he pleads for would undoubtedly help the manufacturer, but would it help me, who am a farmer?
15307The man, who was quite composed, said to the prisoner,''Mr Kerr, do you authorize me to act as your attorney?''
15307The question I ask, is not will the money stay in Canada, but will the money I have justly earned stay in my pocket?
15307The sailors were still hauling the steamer into her berth, when Mr Brodie shouted''Have you got land?''
15307The stranger dropped his bitter tone, and asked smoothly,''May I ask your lordship a question?
15307Was he going to throw up his purpose to benefit himself?
15307Was it not selfishness that whispered his doing so?
15307Was marriage for comfort and ease such a union as his conscience could approve?
15307What about the prisoner?''
15307What are you doing here, laddie?
15307What are you doing with that man?''
15307What caused him to pause in blank astonishment?
15307What right has any government to pass such a law?
15307What was marriage without love?
15307When he opened his eyes, and looking wonderingly round asked,''What is a''the steer aboot?''
15307Where are you from?
15307Whither hast thy spirit wended-- Here a moment then to fly?
15307Why thy joyous life thus ended?
15307Why wert born thus to die?
15307Why, instead, was I not taken-- The fading leaf the bud to spare?
15307With the money I get for my wheat may I not buy what I need where I see fit?
15307Would he venture to go on that amount?
15307Would that be right?
15307exclaimed the officer,''what do you need?''
15307she asked,''ai nt you got religion yet?
15307she exclaimed,''can it be you are the child of my old school companion?
37765Can a Christian in This Life be Wholly Sanctified?
37765Can a Man of His Own Accord and Strength Repent?
37765Free Will or Predestination?
37765But what should they do with their joint property-- oxen and wagon?
37765Did they ever read about the Pilgrim Fathers, George Washington, Ben Franklin or Abraham Lincoln?
37765For what is life without this, even with all the fine houses and lands, automobiles and aeroplanes?
37765Have these people then a peculiar racial contribution to make to the civilization of which they have become a part, and will they make it?
37765Moreover, what could these shoemakers, masons, painters or even farmers do here?
37765On the other hand, what is life with this genuine spirit of brotherliness in it?
37765One of these"blue"ones said to Father soon after their arrival:"Do you suppose you will ever get your money back which you loaned us for our passage?"
37765What could these men-- farmers and men of trades-- do in this howling wilderness of grass, grass and nothing but grass?
37765What then is it?
37765Who are these multitudes which no man can number?
1248And he was captured?
1248And if I did, what then?
1248And what is your name?
1248Are you a Confederate soldier?
1248Are you a soldier?
1248Are you sure you know the way?
1248But suppose,said one of the party,"that you were in the valley behind one of the foothills-- what then?"
1248Can you push along a little faster, General?
1248Colonel, shall we stretch the full canvas?
1248Did n''t you know we were coming?
1248Did n''t you know,cried Will,"that my continued absence meant danger in the air?
1248Did that rascal, C----, have anything to do with her death?
1248Did they rob you?
1248Did you ever hear of a tiger- mastiff, German mastiff, boar- hound, great Dane? 1248 Do you expect to run down a buffalo with a horse like that?"
1248Do you think, Cody, that mule can set the pace to reach Larned in a day?
1248Does it?
1248Going to change your colors, eh?
1248Hain''t you the boy rider I has heard of-- the youngest rider on the trail?
1248Has n''t Will Goodman been here?
1248How could that old fortune- teller know what I''m going to be?
1248How could ze presiman won a show?
1248How is that, Lew-- poisoned?
1248How old be you?
1248How? 1248 How?"
1248My what?
1248Now, I''d look pretty in a novel, would n''t I?
1248Oh, Will, how could you do such a thing?
1248Oh, are you the boy rider that was on Chrisman''s division?
1248Puzzled by the apparently unfamiliar name, I asked:''Pardon me, but whom did you say?''
1248Religious parents, I suppose?
1248Speedy? 1248 The king?
1248The question now was, could I return without running into Indians? 1248 Well, General,"said Will, when they swung off on the trail again,"what do you think of my mount?"
1248Well, sir,said he,"what do you want with me?"
1248Well, then, why am I such a conspicuous object?
1248Well, what do you want?
1248Were there horses to meet them?
1248What Thompson?
1248What can a boy of your age do?
1248What is the matter?
1248What is your denomination?
1248What kind of dog do you call him?
1248What''s that?
1248What''s the matter with you?
1248What, again?
1248When will you set out?
1248Where did they hold you up?
1248Where were you born?
1248Where''s Cody?
1248Where''s your strong- box?
1248Who are you?
1248Who''s there? 1248 Who''s there?"
1248Who''s with you?
1248Why did n''t you shoot that first deer; did you have another attack like you had when you were a little boy?
1248Why, sir, are you not the king?
1248Why,said Will, innocently,"are buffaloes pretty speedy?"
1248Will you oblige me by tying your friend''s hands? 1248 Will you send a couple of wagons along to fetch in the meat?"
1248Will, what was the matter with you just now?
1248You do n''t think of going buffalo- hunting without Will, do you?
1248Your denomination?
1248Ai n''t it, mother?"
1248As he neared the steamer he called out,"Where is that Kansas Jayhawker?
1248Can I say a few words of welcome?
1248Did General Hazen say the cattle were for them?
1248Did he desire that the chief''s young men should accompany him?
1248Do n''t he have to be?"
1248Do you know what these papers contain?"
1248Do you want the job?"
1248Does their Great Spirit tell them to do this?
1248Early in the course of the conversation he asked:"''Madame, you haf undoubted been to see ze gr- rand Bouf- falo Beel?''
1248Had Phillips lost his way?
1248Had he failed to locate the snow- covered dugout?
1248Had he fallen victim to Indians?
1248Had he perished in the storm?
1248Had the rear train been overcome by a larger band of savages?
1248Have I spoken truly the words of the white man''s Book?"
1248He rode along in silence for a few moments, and then turned to me with the query:"Did you ever look into a deer''s eyes?"
1248How could a man ride alone into such a gloomy, terror- haunted domain?
1248How?"
1248I guess you do n''t know what horse you are riding, do you?
1248It was late in the afternoon when we reached the ranch; and the greeting of the overseer was:"Well, well; what''s all this?"
1248Nat''s face paled as he asked,"Do you think I''m a spy, Billy?"
1248Only a dog, do you say?
1248Silence-- followed by a hurried whispering, and the demand:"Who''s there?"
1248So he asked carelessly:"What have you been about lately, Bill?"
1248Stopping at a farm- house one day to obtain a meal, he was not a little surprised to hear the salutation:"Well, Billy, my boy, how are you?"
1248Suppose I make the trip, get a team for our wagon, and come back for you?"
1248That all?
1248That heartened us, babes as we were, for was not our brother our reliance in every emergency?
1248The next question was, were there soldiers with the cattle?
1248The teamster replied:"Guying that horse?
1248Thus wore the long and weary hours away, and though the men, who knew how hard a trip it was, often asked,"How goes it, Billy?"
1248Was it, then, strange that mother looked with unusual hope upon her second son?
1248Was that his name?
1248Was there a chance that the scout was mistaken?
1248We dressed the wound, and thought little of it, until some horsemen rode up, with the inquiry,"Have you seen a dog pass here?"
1248What did you enlist on the wrong side for, anyway?"
1248What more could you desire?"
1248What should I do?
1248Where were the cattle?
1248Who are you, anyway?"
1248Who goes there?"
1248Why did you take me for the king?"
1248Will it be frank and hearty, or reserved and doubtful?
1248Will returned from his scouting trip shortly after the departure of the hunting party, and his first query was:"Is Nellie here?"
1248Without a trace of"buck fever,"Will jumped up, rifle in hand, and demanded:"Here, what are you doing with my horse?"
1248Would Will drive the cattle to them?
1248Would he trust Will for a load of supplies?
1248Would the gallant beast, wounded as he was, be able to long maintain the fierce pace he had set?
1248Yankee- like, the reply was another question:"You sent a man named Nat Golden into the Union lines, did you not, sir?"
1248and what do you want?"
1248was the first query; and this answered, with sundry other information esteemed essential,"Where''s your horse?"
22350''Do? 22350 ''How would old gray Molly do, Raven?''
22350''N''what do youse think we found had blinded that buck? 22350 ''She''s sure got a good strain in her,''says Raven;''where did you get her, Lory?''
22350''Whatever mischief are you and His Wisdom up to?'' 22350 And as Jack passed them I heard the divil sing not[ Transcriber''s note: out?
22350And how did you like it?
22350And this,questioned Menelek,"you consider a just division of the property into two parts of equal value?"
22350But tired? 22350 But why did they attack us?"
22350Charlie,he said,"why in the world did you not send for me before?
22350Did n''t you abuse him shamefully?
22350Fellers,he said,"this meetin''bein''held on the Pecos, I reckon we''ll open her by singin''''Shall We Gather at the River?''
22350Honest? 22350 How did it happen?"
22350Humiliatin''? 22350 Humiliation?
22350Hunt? 22350 Thar ai n''t, hey?"
22350Think I''m fool enough to light in diggin''my own grave, by sendin''love messages like that to a gun expert like you, Mac?
22350Verdic''? 22350 Warry?
22350Warry? 22350 Well, yes, but----""Did n''t you send me an invite to come over here?"
22350Whiskey talk, was it? 22350 Why not the opera, my son?"
22350Why, George,I replied,"if you are bound to die why do n''t you blow your brains out yourself?"
22350''Course they''ll kick, an''thar''ll be a whole passle o''marshals an''sheriffs out after you, but what o''that?
22350''Fo''God, wo n''t yo''mah let yo''wear long pants?"
22350''Sposin''we fellers was goin''to be verdicked?
22350Ai n''t lyin''none?"
22350And it can be bought, for what, do you think?
22350And why not, when no hunting stable in the world holds a horse in all respects his equal?
22350And with what purpose?
22350Anything to say before you quit?"
22350As he was passing the door Clay remarked:"Good- mornin'', Mr. Jansen, wo n''t you please step inside?
22350Beauties, are they not?
22350Bein''as how any o''us might be in Jim''s boots mos''any day, reckon we''ll have to turn him loose?"
22350Besides, what good could you get of it?
22350But lonesome out here?
22350But safe?
22350But then, boys, Arkinsawyers do n''t count fer much nohow, do they?
22350But whar''s it comin''from, an''when?
22350But where?
22350But yes, sir; who in all the world could fail to admire her?"
22350By the way, where was George Cleveland?
22350Confident?
22350Did n''t you meet Mr. McCullough the other day?"
22350Did you_ ever_ hear of a feller gettin''five letters from a gal to wonst?"
22350Does he hunt?
22350Does you?
22350Droll, is it not?"
22350Each in his own may[ Transcriber''s note: way?
22350Has she ever hunted?''
22350His head?
22350How ever did they get so much money?
22350I was no more''n ready''fore here come-- a buck?
22350I----""Why, what''s a mistake?
22350Is that right, Jim?
22350Le''see; wonder who I''d better take along?"
22350Lied to me a plenty, did n''t you?
22350Lonesome out here?
22350Lonesome?
22350Lonesome?
22350Lonesome?
22350Lonesome?
22350Lonesome?
22350Lonesome?
22350More than he would have done for us?
22350New purchase?
22350No wonder they never see nothin'', was it?
22350Of what avail a little pistol- ball, or six of them?
22350One evening at dinner, Mrs. Munzenberger asked me,"Have you ever, perchance, been in Coahuila?"
22350Pay?
22350S''pose I brands a few mavericks an''gits a start on my own?
22350Scruples?
22350See?"
22350She?
22350Should we ever see it again?
22350Stupid of an old campaigner not to investigate his equipment before starting, was it not?"
22350Supper eaten, there follow pipe and cigarette, jest and bandinage[ Transcriber''s note: badinage?]
22350Talkin''of rustlin'', what''s the matter with that anyway?"
22350Then gently touching Mauro''s arm, the Duke queried:"And so you admire the Duchess, young man?"
22350They[ Transcriber''s note: Their?]
22350Vices?
22350Warry?
22350Warry?
22350We fellers ai n''t a- goin''to lay that up agin Jim, air we?
22350Well, did he not know some one else?
22350What I want to know is, are you game for a new ranch deal?"
22350What more could any reasonable cowboy ask?
22350What say, boys?
22350What''s the matter with you and your gang?
22350Wherever did they all come from?
22350Why did n''t you think of it before?
22350Why not toast this venerable but still indomitable King of Hunters?
22350Why, fellers,"retorted Jim''s advocate,"whar''s the use of a fool verdic''?
22350boys?"
22350called Allison;"mighty hot up there, ai n''t it?"
22350grunted Lee;"may be a good- looker, but I''ll gamble she ai n''t in it with our Sorrel- top; hey, boys?
22350says Raven;''wherever did you get the corkin''white un?''
22350what can I do with one troop of cavalry against bandits ruthless as savages, and savages cunning as bandits?
22350while I was crossin''over t''brother, what in th''name o''all th''old hunters that ever drawed a sight do youse think I noted about that buck?
22350youse never heerd of it before?"
28989''Doyouseeaman?''
28989Am I crazy?
28989And that?
28989Any passengers goin''south?
28989Are they the same ones that I''ll see when-- when-- I''m away from here?
28989As I said,he went on,"y''''ve got all kinds of horses; but when in yer life hev ye he d anything like this?"
28989Because if you work here, how can you earn anything?
28989Bofe of us?
28989Ca n''t you stay and have dinner? 28989 Catch that?"
28989College?
28989Did a lot of gophers come in while you''s a- planting?
28989Did you plant that corn?
28989Did you sling clods at''em?
28989Did you think I''d pay you for sixty,he continued,"when you ai n''t got the tails to show for''em?"
28989Do n''t you think we''d better drive home?
28989Do you have to go?
28989Do you mean it?
28989Do you mean to say,asked the eldest, giving the table a blow with his fist,"that you think a city''s the place for a girl, friends or no friends?
28989Do you see that?
28989Do you think the fire''ll hurt it?
28989Eh?
28989Goin''to give some of them pennies to th''Swede?
28989Going to let me have my forfeit?
28989Have you ever been to school before?
28989Heard what?
28989Him?
28989How d''ye do?
28989How do you like the change from herding?
28989How''s the tree?
28989I''ll just ask you one thing,went on the eldest brother;"what''s to- morrow?"
28989Is it trimmed?
28989Mine?
28989Now, what do ye think o''that?
28989Oh, why did n''t I unhitch?
28989Oh, ye did n''t?
28989She bane bater?
28989She is n''t coming?
28989So you went on the war- path to- day?
28989They''re not ours, are they?
28989To- day?
28989To_ me_?
28989Well, youngster,he said,"how many gophers have you snared since we''ve been gone?"
28989What are you going to do, pet lamb?
28989What are you good for, anyway? 28989 What do you mean?"
28989What fer?
28989What is it?
28989What is that?
28989What say you, Langdon?
28989What you want?
28989What''ll she do with all this eddication she''s hankerin''for?
28989What''re ye doin''up here?
28989What''s more,he went on,"where''s the caterpillars and cucumber- bugs, and the potato- bugs and cabbage lice?
28989What''s the matter?
28989Who gates th''mownay?
28989Why did n''t we think of it before?
28989Why, pet lamb,her mother said at last,"are n''t you going to look at your presents?"
28989Wot eez dat?
28989Ye did?
28989Ye lost? 28989 Yes, what''ve_ you_ got to say?"
28989Yes? 28989 Yo there?"
28989Yo there?
28989You do n''t, eh? 28989 You see that?"
28989You would n''t?
28989You''member the night I''most died?
28989You_ say_ you did--_but what have you got to show for''em_?
28989''Do you see a man?''"
28989--which ye want,"he repeated, lowering his voice,"Sultan-- er thet_ beautiful_ cane?"
28989And as she went along, dropping her gifts at each door, she played that she was visiting and said,"How do you do?"
28989But if there was, how''d he get out?"
28989But shall we let it pass this time?"
28989But what c''n we do?"
28989But you, my little girl, what will you do?
28989Did you ever hear of anybody in your life that had an eddication fastened on to''em an''did n''t know what t''do with it?
28989Is the night clear?"
28989Or Napoleon''s dusky son, Dan, near the rails?
28989Or young Liney, the favorite daughter of a well- loved mother, whose horns cut the grass as she fled?
28989Selfish in my grief and loss, have I not deprived the boys of the advantages they should have had?
28989Then, noting the bridle and bag,"What ye got them fer?"
28989They say the city child ages fast; but do they ever think of the wearing sameness and starving of heart that puts years on the country child?
28989Want a drink er somethin''to eat?
28989Was that old Kate, the cultivator mare, with bulging eyes and lolling tongue?
28989We caught sixty-- we did, truly--""Where are their tails, then?
28989What do you think about it?"
28989What do_ you_ know about a city, anyhow?"
28989What''ll_ she_ do with it?
28989When, having fared well, she at last descended, she paraded up and down, with many sharp, inquiring cries of"C- a- w- k?
28989Where_ could_ she hide him?
28989Wo n''t make any difference to you, will it?
28989XIII A RACE AND A RESCUE"WHAT''RE you doin''under there?"
28989Yes?"
28989You wo n''t, eh?"
28989c- a- w- k?
28989c- a- w- k?"
28989she cried;"do you think I''m going to carry you?
28989where are their tails?"
39777Now,he says,"would n''t that Ram you?
39777There is such a breed of hosses, ai n''t they?
39777But supposing I was caught, what kind of a story could I tell?
39777Have we deteriorated in the eyes of the world in the last two thousand years?
39777Now what do they say?
39777O wohene ist mein Hase gegangen?"
39777What artist puts priceless paintings on canvass of the sheep business to- day?
39777What would our party have amounted to in Wyoming if I had n''t Bucked everything in sight?
39777Who writes poetry of the sheep and sheepherder of the present time?
39777Why not steal some Indian cayuses and get even?
22409And you have had these on all day without our seeing them? 22409 Are n''t you glad we came?
22409Are we all here?
22409At what wages, please?
22409But do they not know we are coming? 22409 But there are the feet, and the waist?"
22409But,I continued seriously,"how deep is the water, anyway, Koki?"
22409Ca n''t you see? 22409 Can you cook for a gang of men?"
22409Did you come from Number Nine?
22409Do I sleep? 22409 Do n''t you want some?"
22409Do you never take wine?
22409Do you not think that the captain will push on tonight?
22409Do you want it loaded?
22409Do you want to help us? 22409 For what?"
22409Have a drink on it, boys?
22409Have you eaten dinner?
22409Here, you fellows, get a move on, and help these ladies on board, will you? 22409 How about yourself, ma?"
22409How do you know?
22409How so?
22409How will you and I get on shore, Mollie?
22409I''ll not eat my supper tonight till they have eaten; will you, Mary?
22409Is that the place, do you think?
22409Ituk,I called, as I came nearer,"let me ride in the kyak, will you?"
22409No, I ca n''t cut them out, really; but why do n''t you make a pattern from some garment on hand?
22409Shall I have a paper made out?
22409Shall I stake a claim for you?
22409What did ye tell her?
22409What does she want of keys? 22409 What is the matter with the captain?
22409What is the matter with them, any way?
22409What is the matter?
22409What rent do you charge?
22409What shall I do?
22409When do you think the steamer will leave this place?
22409Where they come from?
22409Will you lend me an apron till I get mine?
22409Will you sign a petition to the captain asking that he proceed on his way to Nome without further delay?
22409Will you sit at table with them tonight, Mrs. Sullivan? 22409 You have permission from captain S.?"
22409You know what having cold feet in this country means, I suppose, Alma?
22409You ride in kyak?
22409( It''ll need to be strong to hold you up, wo n''t it, dearie?)
22409Are they to open a street?
22409Are things what they seem?
22409Can you do it?"
22409Could I wear those things?
22409Do I dream?
22409Do I wonder and doubt?
22409Do you not admire us?"
22409Do you see that short, fat woman over there with the bleared eyes, and the neck of a prize fighter?
22409Do you, Pastor F.?"
22409Even if Sim should forget to throw more stones, would he not soon come upstairs and perhaps give me more trouble?
22409For those remaining in Alaska, who could foresee the future?
22409Has he not brought them on their voyage thus far without accident?"
22409Have they no light on board?
22409How about that?"
22409How can we get upon deck?"
22409How long could they live on the ice cake if they floated far out in the Behring Sea?
22409I say, wife, is n''t it jolly?"
22409I say,''Where you get white reindeer hair on you, Sim?''
22409I wonder when I will hear from my home folks?
22409If either or both of them came I would have no further difficulty because I would work for and with them, but if they did not come what was I to do?
22409If they enter my room whenever they choose in the daytime, what is to prevent them when I am asleep?
22409Is there nothing else we can wear this winter?
22409Little Charlie ran up to Mollie on her return from her hunt, and cried in a mixture of Eskimo and English:"Foxes peeluk, Mamma?"
22409Now arose the question, would any one have any objection to our pitching our tents temporarily?
22409O, dear, what shall I have for supper?"
22409Or are visions about?"
22409Or were the adagios mournfully predicting perils, coming disaster and death?
22409Or would the wind, quickly, by some miracle, change its course, and thereby send the menacing vessel to one side of us or the other?
22409Or would you like a drop of sherry?"
22409Say, how in the world did you get this place?
22409Should we flee for our lives?
22409Something must be done, but what?
22409Sullivan?"
22409Sullivan?"
22409Sullivan?"
22409Then changing his tone and glancing toward his wife:"And how is my dear little wifey by this time?"
22409There is nothing like feeling of some use in the world, is there?
22409They will make our feet look so awfully large, you see?"
22409Upon a soiled and rumpled white(?)
22409Was it a friend or foe?
22409Was it to be a fortunate and happy one, or would it disclose only misfortune, with, perchance, sickness and death?
22409Was this heaven?
22409Were you asleep, hey?"
22409What about the boys on the Koyuk trail?
22409What could I do for her?
22409What could he say to her?
22409What is the matter with you?
22409What now?
22409What was his object?
22409What was to be done, I asked of the others?
22409What were they to do?
22409What will the New Year bring?
22409What would we do if the Bertha failed to appear?
22409Whatever should I do?
22409Where among the drones and laggards is one who can find such sweets as well- earned rest and comfort after labor?
22409Where have you kept your feet, in your pocket?"
22409Where should we go in the storm if obliged to fly for our lives?
22409Where will we be next year at this time?
22409Who could tell?
22409Who could tell?
22409Who is she afraid of?
22409Who''s hurtin''you?"
22409Will his family ever know what has become of him, and is his mother still living?
22409Will the other campers about here move also?"
22409Will we all look like that in muckluks?
22409Will you try us?"
22409Without food or shelter, and with the nights as cold as they are, how can they live on the ice at sea?
22409Would he ever put his foot upon that shore again?
22409Would he hit his mark?
22409Would it not be better to dress myself and be prepared for any emergency?
22409Would the resistless waters persist in our destruction?
22409Would these partings be followed by future happy meetings, or were they now final?
22409Would this end it?
22409You wo n''t forget?"
22409You would n''t shoot her, would you?"
25966''Spose dot de horse is with them-- what den?
25966After we finds out vot we does den?
25966And why should n''t I do it?
25966Are you really sure Otto is alive?
25966Ca n''t I have breakfast before I go?
25966Ca n''t you kick him loose?
25966Confound the cur,muttered Jack, rubbing the injured limb,"is that the style of these dogs when a stranger calls?"
25966Deerfoot tells me what the Great Spirit says to him; how does he hear the Great Spirit speak?
25966Deerfoot, do you think I am right?
25966Did I not tell you to go and not come back until you brought him with you?
25966Did n''t Deerfoot tell you?
25966Did you see it done?
25966Did your father tell you to stay away till you recovered the animal?
25966Do n''t you know?
25966Do you think so, Deerfoot?
25966Do you think they are still hunting for him?
25966Have they gone to look for the horse that was lost?
25966How can I tell, mother, except that he is in the woods? 25966 How could I see it when I was n''t there?"
25966How did my brother meet his death?
25966How is that?
25966How should we hear of it,asked Crumpet with a growl,"when we was on this side of the Mississippi?"
25966How, in the name of conscience, did you ever find me at all?
25966I judged not; how then do you propose to obtain him?
25966I wonder whether he means to attack me?
25966I''m Burt Hawkins-- you remember me?
25966I''ve heard tell of you; you''re the chap that always uses a bow and arrow instead of a gun?
25966No, I does not; he says he goes off mit your poy, but dey both lies-- don''t it?
25966Oh, it''s you, is it?
25966So you''re Deerfoot, are you? 25966 Then where_ is_ he?"
25966Toby, the colt belonging to Otto''s father, is wandering in the woods not very far away----"How do you know he is?
25966Vell, vot does we does now?
25966Vot does they mean to do mit us?
25966Vy do n''t they finds him?
25966Was harm done him?
25966Was n''t I over in Kentucky about three years ago? 25966 What do they care for_ me_?"
25966What do you intend to do?
25966What do you say?
25966What were you about to say?
25966What''s that?
25966What''s the matter with him?
25966Where does the Great Spirit that Deerfoot tells me about live?
25966Where is he? 25966 Where is the other?"
25966Where is the village of my brother?
25966Where shall I begin?
25966Who the deuce did that?
25966Who_ can_ he be? 25966 Whose neck is broke?"
25966Why ca n''t you talk with a fellow,asked Kellogg,"without breaking his neck?"
25966Why did Deerfoot not come here or to one of the other cabins?
25966Why did he do that? 25966 Why do you ask that?"
25966Why does the brother of Deerfoot hunt the woods alone?
25966Why is my brother in the woods alone?
25966Why?
25966Will Deerfoot tell Hay- uta about the Great Spirit of the white man?
25966Yes,answered the lady, with a smile;"I am ashamed to say they have; but I ask your pardon; have you had supper?
25966You have never seen Deerfoot, have you, mother?
25966You means to kills me, eh, do n''t it? 25966 But of what avail? 25966 Can it be these warriors have their hunting grounds away out toward the Rocky Mountains? 25966 Carleton?
25966Could it be done?
25966Could it be the chief had read in the captive''s face the evidence of his intention?
25966Deerfoot looked calmly in the forbidding countenance, and asked, more directly than was his custom:"Are you the father of my brother, Otto?"
25966Deerfoot saluted all whose eyes met his, calling out:"Good day; how is my brother?"
25966Deerfoot, ca n''t you go with us?"
25966Deerfoot, is that you?"
25966Did the red men belong to the Osage tribe of Indians, or was theirs some fiercer or milder totem from a distant part of the country?
25966Did they intend to kill them with rifle, tomahawk, or knife?
25966Did they mean to hold him a permanent captive, or, as is often the case with their race, would they put him to torture and finally to death?
25966Had any of those Shawanoes pushed the pursuit still further?
25966Had these Indians formed any purpose respecting their prisoners?
25966Had they lingered near the settlement, awaiting just such an opportunity as was given by Jack and Otto when they went off on their hunt?
25966Have you the money with you to buy one?"
25966I believe, Deerfoot, that you are a Shawanoe, ai n''t you?"
25966I do n''t think dot was much play, do you, Jack?"
25966I say, Ogallah, will you back me up and see that I have fair play?"
25966I suppose your father gave you a whipping for losing Toby?"
25966I wonder how Otto is getting along?"
25966If so, what was it likely to be?
25966Is he days''journey to the south?
25966Is there any hope of him playing the part of a friend for Otto and me?"
25966It was,"Can it be that the horse we are seeking is with them?"
25966May I stay here all night?"
25966O Deerfoot, wo n''t you find my Jack and bring him home to me?"
25966Or would they be taken away captives?
25966See?"
25966Sure enough, and why had he not thought of it before?
25966What do you think of_ that_?"
25966What do you''spose Relstaub did?
25966What greater feat could the young Sauk perform than to follow and secretly slay the detested lad?
25966What had become of him?
25966Which should he first seek?
25966Whither would these red men take him?
25966Why is he in the village of the Sauks?"
25966Why, indeed?
25966Why, then, should Deerfoot be perplexed over the matter, when even the mother of Jack expressed no fear concerning him?
25966Will you not permit me to give you to eat?"
25966With the truth came the startling question-- Where was Otto?
25966exclaimed the impulsive Jack, springing to his feet;"you''ll let me, mother, wo n''t you?"
25966finally asked Jack, in a guarded voice;"shall we go forward and make their acquaintance?"
25966thought he,"they have come from a long distance; what could have taken them down near Martinsville and so near the Mississippi?
25966uttered to the first settlers at Plymouth, who were at a loss to understand where the red man learned the pleasant words?
25966where did that gun come from, and that tomahawk?"
35586Oh then, I suppose he''s very proud and distant?
35586What does he mean?
35586What is he like?

35586But where are the results of the policy which sent them there?
35586Can not something be done now, while yet the lands of the vast North- West are at our disposal?
35586Can not the necessity for actual settlement be waived in favour of donations by individuals for Church uses?

35586Would not this whole question be a fitting subject for the appointment of a competent parliamentary commission?
35586Would some of my readers like to know how to raise a log barn?
35586_--Byron._ Wherefore art thou sad, my brother?
35586see ye not that your strifes and your jealousies are making ye as traitors in the camp, in the face of the common enemy?
35586why not in Canada?
35586why that shade upon thy brow, Like yon clouds each other chasing o''er the summer landscape now?
37922Do you belong to the Vigilants?
37922Well,said I,"you filed on a claim, did n''t you?"
37922Why,he continued,"You know old man Spriggins up there?
37922Going to sell or trade him?
37922Have you taken leave of your senses and gone wild?
37922He stared me straight in the eye and said,"What can I do for you?"
37922How about the killing of the negro in the wagon?
37922How could he forget the tragic death of Mr. Olds?
37922How would it be possible for a writer who had a share in the battle to forget the important part played by Miller Scott?
37922Is there any liklihood of their trying to join those who have left Fort Reno?
37922It was with reluctance that my brave?
37922J.--Can''t he?
37922J.--Have you had any introduction to those young ladies, or what is the matter with you?
37922J.--Jack, do you know that old nester that settled on the flats out on Crooked Creek?
37922J.--Well, Slim, how does it go?
37922J.--What has that to do with you?
37922J.--You do n''t suppose any tenderfoot, nor anybody else wants to be seen riding that old crow- bait around with a young lady?
37922Now the question might be asked, why did not the Indians attack him?
37922The judge of today might be the criminal of tomorrow, and the criminal of today might be tomorrow seated on the judge''s bench administering justice?
37922Their presence was rather disconcerting, to say the least, but what could I do about it?
37922They began to saddle him and one of the boys asked,"Are you going to run old Pinkeye?
37922They each of them kept a close scrutiny on every movement of their distinguished?
37922To be sure that I understood him aright, I asked,''how many?''
37922Well, then, I said, you are not inclined to engage in agriculture, nor to remain in this part of the country, are you?
37922What are you dragging that old skate around for?
37922When he arrived, I asked him in an uncertain tone of voice what he wanted?
37922When he got started the Indians(?)
37922Where do you think those who have left Fort Reno will try to cross the Union Pacific Railroad?
37922Where have you got that old mouse- colored critter, and where do you want the money put up?
37922Why did he not attack them?
37922Why did they not attack him?
37922Why do n''t you shoot him, or do n''t you want to waste a cartridge?
37922You recollect saying what a consarned fool I was about that young lady, and what you thought of the old man?
35992On what principle could a part of the general laws of the Territory go to that island, and a part not? 35992 Then shall I help you to some of the mutton?"
35992Then you will take some of the roast chicken?
35992Well,says mine host,"you will certainly take some roast pork?"
35992''Are you married?''
35992''Before you came here, how long had it been since you last saw your father?''
35992''Has it got animals in it or not?''
35992''I spell my name,''said the Judge,''G- r- e- e- n- e. You would not call me Gree- ne, would you?''
35992''It is spelled,''answered our friend, with charming gravity,''B- r- o- w- n- e; if that is not Brow- ne, I would like to know what it does spell?''
35992''What is it?''
35992''What is the object of your visit here?''
35992''What relation are you if any, to the prisoner?''
35992''Why do you call that name Brown- e?''
35992A gentleman rushed up to me as I was slowly walking across James Street and said:"Judge, how do you feel about this proceeding?"
35992As such, what evidence have we that a spirit- existence was ever destroyed?
35992But where is the man so calm, so dispassionate and discriminating as to avoid the engulfing breakers on either hand?
35992Could this convention have stood for a day with the extension of the taxing power of this territory over that island?
35992Does it follow that the soul is extinct?
35992Does the man think, reflect and judge of the moral qualities of thoughts and acts after the extinction of life?
35992Ever since the poetic Job uttered the profound question,"If a man die shall he live again?"
35992He says to John Doe:"Sha nt I help your plate with some of this roast beef, which is very juicy and fine?"
35992How does instinct act as contra distinguished from actions based upon the exercise of soul- power?
35992How is it possible, then, by combination to produce that of which no trace even existed in the elements?
35992I asked him what so many Indians, all armed, had come away from their villages and to the boundary of their country for?
35992I continued somewhat thus:"Are you afraid that the sheriff will send away the prisoners tonight, or that they will escape?
35992I increased my speed and was soon along side of him,--I said"How do you do, sir?"
35992In doing so, he was constantly calling that author''s name Brown- e?
35992Is the impairment or destruction of the particular piano, a destruction or extinction of that music?
35992Is the power to think and reflect and to judge of the moral quality of thoughts and actions, a property of matter or not?
35992Man alone being possessed of soul qualities, the question arises, what are the duration of these qualities?
35992Sam, as soon as he could get his breath, says:''What did you niggers mean by crying out to me, run Sam, for God''s sake, run?
35992Secondly-- Is thought and the power to judge of the moral qualities of thoughts and actions a property of organized matter?
35992She was evidently a stranger, and''who is she?''
35992Someone cried out:"Is this a pantomime performance, or a public speech?"
35992The last time I passed the wagon, the Colonel stuck his head out from the opposite side and asked,"What are you going to do, Captain?"
35992The miner softly put his hand to his pistol, but, relenting, said:"You are a tenderfoot and I forgive you; but why did you say I was lying?"
35992The question may be asked: Are there no means by which this fatal mistake may now be remedied?
35992The question with him was, what is the law?
35992Their inquiry was not, what was the reason of the thing, but what had some Court said?
35992They were told that the captives were in the proper custody; and they were asked what they wanted the captives brought to the engine- house for?
35992Thirdly-- Is the power to think, to reflect and to judge of the moral quality of actions and thoughts a property of animal organization?
35992This could not be the princess?
35992What do we understand by soul?
35992What will be the effect and consequence of this horrid murder, considered with reference to national affairs?
35992Who will argue that the destruction of the frail canvas is the destruction of these conceptions?
35992Who would thus reason?
35992Why do the whites always urge the Indian to go upon reservations?
35992did you suppose I was such an enormous fool as to throw off on that race?''"
35992when is your show going to be along?''
41030''Any room, sir?'' 41030 The new passenger, without any expression of anxiety, looks into the coach, and then looks up at the coachman:''Now, how do you mean to fix it?''
41030''Shall I close the window?''
41030How delighted were the old tavern- keepers in central New York with the opening of the Erie Canal, on whose boats immigrants ate and slept?
41030Mr. Moore, a traveller toward his home in Dunker''s Bottom, Fayette County, Pennsylvania,[?]
41030That out of the neat[ net?]
41030[ 5] Oliphant''s Iron Furnace, Union Township?
41030[ 7] Bruceton''s Mills, Grant Township, Preston County, West Virginia?
41067Here''s some strangers that wants lodging; can we get to stay all night with you?
41067Is there a ferry here?
41067Leaving this lonely habitation, we continued on our journey, and crossing the Sinecocy[ Monocacy?] 41067 What in the world shall we do?"
41067What''s that you say, stranger? 41067 What''s that?"
41067A portly dame made her appearance at the door, and was saluted with,--"How de do, ma''am-- all well, ma''am?"
41067But our attitude has been that of one asking, Why?--we have not at proper length considered all that would be contained in the question, How?
41067I_ spose maybe_ you think I never_ seed_ a coach?
41067May not an old route have led from Great Meadows thither on the same hillside where we find the Cumberland Road today?
41067On the front these words can be traced:"[ 12?]
41067The question immediately arises, What sort of vehicle could weather such roads?
41067What must have been the price when one horse carried only from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty pounds?
41067Who keeps house?"
34487And by what name shall I remember you?
34487And who are you, friend?
34487But can you venture into the Havanna? 34487 But how do you know that we are not searching for a runaway slave?"
34487But surely their lives are safe?
34487But, Marcus,said I,"how can you, a man capable of better things, endure such a life?"
34487But, from what you say, I believe that you would help a slave to escape from his bonds, if you had the opportunity?
34487Can you restore those you tore from me and delivered over to worse than death? 34487 Could I have a more trustworthy and, at the same time, active and intelligent follower?"
34487Do n''t you see that it''s that ill- doing mate fellow?
34487Do you ask me to help you?
34487Do you think the scars of your merciless lash have yet disappeared from my shoulders?
34487For what you make all dat row?
34487Halloo, who have we here?
34487How came you here?
34487How long do you wish to rest?
34487I am right, am I not?
34487I say, mate-- Mister Snag-- wake up, will you? 34487 Is my voice so strangely changed then?"
34487Is there any place we can hope to reach where we can defend ourselves better than in the open plain?
34487Look out there; what do you say to that sky?
34487No frying- pans, hatchets, or other valuables left behind?
34487Now, my friend, at which port do you wish to be landed?
34487Oh dear, oh dear, or, when shall we ever go to a country where we can get along on our feet away from the sight of this ugly sea?
34487That sneaking, white- haired, milksop of a Britisher-- what business has he to refuse my civilities, I should like to know? 34487 Well, and where do you come from, stranger?"
34487What are you-- Englishmen or Americans?
34487What can that be?
34487What claim have you on me?
34487What else but death can such vermin expect at my hands?
34487What enemies have you to fear?
34487What have you been doing with yourself ever since, stranger?
34487What is the matter?
34487What is the matter?
34487What, are you all alone? 34487 What, have n''t you had your dinner, sir?"
34487Where are you going to, my dear?
34487Which of the two shall I shoot?
34487Who can he be who would venture to accompany such a harum- scarum fellow as you are, Harry?
34487Who can that be?
34487Who goes there?
34487Why do you fancy that?
34487Why, Harry, where are you going?
34487Why, who do you suppose would venture to take my scalp?
34487Will those black chaps aboard there really cut all our throats, as the captain says?
34487Will you leave it?
34487Wretched slave- driver-- overseer of your fellow- men-- have I found you once again?
34487You have travelled, friend?
34487You''ll not let that damned darkie murder me, stranger?
34487` Why how, in the name of sense, do you want to fight?'' 34487 Am I to forget the curses, the insults, you have heaped on me?
34487And is it so dark that we do n''t want a window to see out of?"
34487Are they birds, buffaloes, or Redskins?"
34487As I did so, the thought occurred to me,"For what purpose was my great strength given me?
34487Black skin or white skin, what does it matter?
34487But how, it may be asked, can this vast territory be peopled?
34487Can you tell us if any is to be found on the island?"
34487Do I look so very funny?"
34487For an instant I refrained even from tasting it, till Peter observed--"Well, sir, sure wine ai n''t so bad a thing after all, is it?"
34487How might I be treated should the pirate be captured by a man- of- war, either English or American, and I be found on board?
34487How was this to be accomplished?
34487I was awoke by a sensation of cold, and hearing Peter exclaim--"Oh, sir, I wonder what has come over the buffalo skin?"
34487I''ll be bold to ask, are we to be shut up all winter, so that we do n''t want a door to go in and out at?
34487Is that the way you would treat your friends when you find them out all desolate and alone on the wide ocean?"
34487Peter looked at me reproachfully, remarking--"I thought when we got into this country we were to have no more tossing about on the salt ocean?"
34487Presently he came directly against me, and as his white eyes rolled round, I heard him say--"Massa, you Harry Skipwith?
34487Shall we fire together, or shall we draw for the first shot?''
34487Sure enough, there was Marcus; but what could have excited his anger?
34487The boy understands me?"
34487To escape from the lash and chains, from indignities and insults, what will not a man endure?"
34487Were we not bold hunters?
34487What do you say to those black spots out there?
34487What do you wish to do?"
34487What''s it all about?
34487Where are you going, boy?"
34487Who says we''re lost?"
34487Will nobody save me?
34487` Will you fight me like a man, I ask?''
34487` Would any but a fool let his enemy point the muzzle of his gun at him, if he could help it?
34487will not your schooner run a great risk of being recognised?"
40497Ach,he replied,"the table cost me$ 500; a barrel of whisky and cigars, beer, my fine mirror-- everything is gone?"
40497And what will it be?
40497And,he continued,"do you know we are liable to stay where we are until the Fourth of July, if we do n''t get a move on?"
40497But you never saw me shoot,he said,"so what the---- do you know about it?"
40497Have you seen my bride-- she of the hair as black as a starless night and teeth as white as the wing of a dove? 40497 Oh, white man, tell me, have you seen her?
40497Say,said one of the boys,"are you on?"
40497What is it, boy?
40497Why is n''t this record presented in the regulation way-- as a novel with a love story running through it;or,"What is the moral?"
40497*** Of the Medicine Bow range, or Whipple, the man I gave the copper specimens to?
40497And bacon?
40497And beans?
40497And pones of bread for everyone?
40497And while Big Jaw stole to make good his bargain, was n''t his deed an act of old- time knighthood after all?
40497Are n''t you satisfied with veal?
40497But after all is it not truer to say"As long as there is hope there is life?"
40497But can we classify him with the civilized white man who commits a crime?
40497But what''s the use?
40497Curses?
40497Go to Cheyenne today-- and what do you find?
40497Have you seen her I seek?
40497Say, old man, who did this mean trick?"
40497Sleep?
40497Then what could it be?
40497Were n''t we whales when we could divide or turn a herd?
40497What did I do?
40497What was all this fuss about?
40497When asked for a pass to Sherman, Wyoming, he said gruffly:"Have n''t you got any money?"
40497Wo n''t there be a roaring fire?
40497_ My Dear Friend_: Can you put me in correspondence with any of the old boys we met when the country was new, out in Wyoming?
19071''How are we ever going to get them down?'' 19071 ''What on earth is the matter?''
19071''Where are we at?'' 19071 And have n''t you ever seen them since?"
19071And then the peccary flew away again?
19071And what about me?
19071Been theah long?
19071Cyclona what?
19071Did n''t he?
19071Did the horse have its hide on?
19071Do you know?
19071Have a lif''?
19071Have you heard the news? 19071 How shall we still the winds that the soun''of them shall not disturb her?"
19071How shall we still the winds?
19071If the Wise Men come out of the East,it was his last plea,"and build the Magic City, then you will come back?"
19071If the crops succeed,he ventured,"and I build you a beautiful house, then will you come back?"
19071Is this the place where the Indians pitched their tents?
19071Is you gwine away, chile, widout tellin''youah black Mammy good- by?
19071Of what, sweet?
19071Seth,said Cyclona, to whom no dream was too fanciful,"are you goin''to build this house just like that one?"
19071Seth,said she,"where is the room for the Prince?"
19071Seth,she said, presently, touching him on the shoulder,"are n''t you getting this house mixed up with the House of the Lord?"
19071Seth? 19071 Shall we have so many windows?"
19071Tell me more about the Princess,soothed Cyclona,"is she so beautiful?"
19071The corn is fine, John, is n''t it?
19071The man who owns the ground on which they are to build the Magic City?
19071There be''n''t many neighbors hereabout, be there?
19071Was that to be his fate?
19071Was there anything for him?
19071We ca n''t rise all at once from our station in life, can we? 19071 What made you move, then?"
19071What right has that Celia got to any money that comes out of the West she hated so, out of this wind- blown place she would n''t live in? 19071 What sort of man is the father?"
19071Wheah did you come frum?
19071Wheah do you live?
19071Where is it?
19071Where is she now?
19071Where is the house?
19071Who is it?
19071Who is the girl?
19071Who is we?
19071Whut diffunce does it maik?
19071Why do you call them cyclones?
19071Why?
19071Wo n''t Cyclona and father do till then?
19071You goin''away, Miss Celia?
19071You see that little dugout''way ovah theah? 19071 You will come back to the child?"
19071After a long time Seth raised beseeching eyes to her in an unspoken question:"Does he breathe?"
19071After a time:"Is it possible?"
19071Already they had reared a town that dared approach in size to a city on the edge of the desert, but what had happened?
19071And Seth?
19071As for Seth, he could only articulate one word:"Why?
19071Besides, had n''t he Cyclona?
19071But how?"
19071But what can you do for him?
19071But what of the boy then?
19071Cyclona put the baby back on the bed, faced the fury of the wind a moment, then cried out to it:"Why ca n''t you behave?"
19071Cyclona, has no one written to Celia that she has no child?"
19071Do n''t they?
19071Do n''t you know the little baby has n''t any mother now; that she''s left him and gone away?"
19071Do n''t you know the little baby''s mother has gone away?
19071For mere amusement after the manner of children?
19071Have I read that or dreamed it?
19071How could He look after so many?
19071How could we?
19071How many months has she been away from him now?
19071How much time would it take?
19071How was it possible for her to remain apart from her husband and child so long?
19071How would she receive him?
19071If ever a man deserved a good wife it''s that man, Seth, and what did he get?
19071If he put them here with all their faculties, was it His fault if they failed?
19071If not, then why?
19071If you could, would you build her a bath like that, Seth?"
19071It seems like magic, does n''t it?"
19071It was pretty cute of her, was n''t it, to jump Seth''s claim?"
19071It''s awkward, ai n''t it?
19071Or had He forsaken the people and the country, as Celia had said?
19071Or would they always stop just short of it?
19071Seth had listened to these stories undismayed; for what had they to do with his ranch and the Magic City upon which it was to be built?
19071Should they not cling together?
19071Some lives must invariably be sacrificed to the upbuilding of any new country, but why so many?
19071The way the wind blew?
19071Then, in the outspoken manner of the prairie folk he asked:"Who ah you?"
19071Was Seth in the dugout then, or in that other room?
19071Was he not very young to leave for such a length of time?
19071Was it his Mother Nature, his Guardian Angel, or God?
19071Was it the wind or his heart?
19071Was not that a strange mother who could thus separate herself from a babe in arms; who could deprive him of the warmth and comfort of her embrace?
19071What earthly father would create hearts only to crush them?
19071What earthly father would demand that his children rush headlong into danger unquestioningly?
19071What earthly father would knowingly permit his children to stumble blindly along dangerous pathways into dangerous places?
19071What had happened?
19071What if the ghastly spectacle should turn his brain?
19071What of him?
19071What sort of woman can she be anyway to leave a little nursing baby?"
19071What sort of woman is she, anyway?
19071What was it?
19071What was it?
19071What was it?
19071What was it?
19071When?
19071Which way was home?
19071Who knows?
19071Who was Seth that he should be exempt from this law?
19071Why had He created the Seths to weary for love of the Celias and the Cyclonas to eat out their hearts for love of the Seths?
19071Why had He created this huge joke of an animal, part body, part soul, all nerves keen to catch at suffering, only to laugh at it?
19071Why had He made of it a slate upon which to draw lines of human beings, then wipe them aimlessly off as would any child?
19071Why had He made others all soul?
19071Why had He seen fit to fashion some all body and no soul?
19071Why had He taken the pains to fashion this Opera Bouffe of a world at all?
19071Why had He thrust human beings onto this earth against their will, without their volition, to suffer the tortures of the damned?
19071Why not stand it on oxen like that, Seth?"
19071Why not use some other wood?
19071Why should a cyclone that could snatch up a river and toss it to the clouds, fight shy of the forks of two?
19071Why should n''t she hate the wind?
19071Why waste his life, then, in dreams and fantasies, in regrets, and hopings, when here lay a glowing, breathing, living reality?
19071Why?
19071Why?
19071Why?"
19071Will you?"
19071You know that, do n''t you, Cyclona?"
19071asked Charlie,"or him?"
19071exclaimed Hugh,"but must you have gold door knobs?"
19071he asked dreamily,"how I shall match that rose color of her cheek, not havin''her by?
19071he cried,"Must we bring cedar all the way from the South?
19071he exclaimed,''is the matter with the roof?''
19071he mused, half to himself, half to Cyclona,"to build a house without a cellah?"
19071she asked,"how ha''d the wind blows if you''ve got youah husband?"
19071they asked,"because no cyclones come here?"
38309How can that be,someone asked"when Kid and his men just left Anton Chico a few days ago?"
38309Well, Jim,was the first words that broke the death- like silence within,"you are worth several dead men yet, ai n''t you?"
38309What are you fellows trying to do?
38309Who in the dickens is Humphry?
38309You did n''t think I would be brute enough to shoot you in_ such_ a cowardly manner, did you, Jim?
38309''Can we come out and warm if we behave ourselves?''
38309''Oh, you go to h-- l, wo n''t you?
38309( Who''s there?
38309About dark I strolled up to a second- hand book store and asked how much a bible, nearly new, would bring?
38309At one time he asked in a jovial way:''Garrett, have you got a fire out there?''
38309But then what could I do?
38309But, thinks I, what can an uneducated cow puncher do now- a- days to make such a vast sum?
38309Can it be possible that she do n''t think enough of me to answer my letter?
38309Dawdy yelled over asking if they could spare some chuck?
38309Did you ask kind reader, if those were all his own cattle that he butchered?
38309He then asked me if I could think of anything else that I had forgotten to charge the"company"with?
38309He then continued; although I winked at him several times to keep still,"So you fellows succeeded in capturing Billy the Kid, did you?"
38309I headed straight for the Alverado House and who do you suppose was standing in the door when I rode up?
38309I then described one to him and asked how much he would take to- boot if the pony proved to be as I represented?
38309Johnson gave a savage glance at me as much as to say: d----m you, you have been trying to work us, have you?
38309Mr. Collier wanted to know if some of my relations was n''t dead?
38309Now the question arose in my mind,"how are you going to kill your buffalo?"
38309On my arrival there Mr. Grimes asked me how much wood I had?
38309Quien es?
38309She then became frantic and wanted to know why in the world I did n''t go to Humphry''s and get them?
38309She then opened the blinds and asked me in broken English, what I was trying to do?
38309She was cleaning roasting- ears for dinner when I asked her how she would like to jump into double harness and trot through life with me?
38309Sister began crying and wondered why the Lord let us suffer so?
38309The first man I met, I inquired of him, if he knew where Mr. Nicholas White lived?
38309The first thing she asked after kissing me, was, where I got my new suit?
38309The first thing she said was:"Hello, what''s the matter with your face?"
38309The gentleman looked at me and asked:"Are you from Colorado City?"
38309The old lady then broke out in one of her jovial fits and said:"You ketch on?
38309The question then came up, what paper shall it be?
38309They came over to me, and one of them, the oldest, who was on crutches, having only one leg, asked how much I would take for my"shooter?"
38309This of course went against the grain with"Jim,"but then what else could he do now, being at their mercy?
38309Three days after, while out hunting work, I stopped an old man and asked him if he knew where I could find a job?
38309Was ever a prayer so quickly heard?
38309Who in the h-- l is in here?"
38309Who''s there?)
38309and another one remarked,"He is a stiff cuss-- aint he?"
12281''Depend on what?'' 12281 ''Do n''t you know, sir, that I''m in authority here?''
12281''Is-- is-- is the four o''clock train the first out?'' 12281 ''Must I continue to listen to these insults on every hand?''
12281''No, I have n''t,''I answered,''but are you going to stay all night here?'' 12281 ''Then how does it come that you are at liberty?''
12281''Were you ever charged with any crime before?'' 12281 ''What did you do then?''
12281''What was the result?'' 12281 ''Why wo n''t you count with me?''
12281Alexander, if you wish to see your mother, come to San Antonio, wo n''t you, please?
12281Are you the son of Don Ramon Mora?
12281But did you notice those three graves on the last ridge of sand- hills to the right as we came out of the Cimarron bottoms yesterday? 12281 But supposing we are busy when it takes place,"said Mouse,"then what?"
12281But why did you take them back to the sand- hills to bury them?
12281But why not now?
12281But why not tell me?
12281Ca n''t you see that I''m occupied at present?
12281Colonel,added Baugh,"why is it that you never tell that experience you had once amongst the greasers?"
12281Could I see you privately for a few minutes?
12281Do you realize what it will take to get them?
12281Do you remember,said Babe,"when I dissolved with the''Ohio''outfit and bought in with the''LX''people?"
12281Have n''t you got one for us?
12281Have you ever been back in old San Saba since we left?

12281How many men are there in the Strip?
12281I am,replied the young man;"wo n''t you dismount?"
12281I do n''t reckon that captain had any scruples about taking his share of the prize money, did he?
12281I thank you for your kindness,said Don Ramon,"but is there no chance to be given me to prove the falsity of these charges?
12281Is there any hope from any source?
12281Is this possible?
12281Mr. Baughman, vill you not haf one drink mit me?
12281Now, mine frendt, vat ish i d?
12281Oh, we swim this evening, do we?
12281On what authority?
12281Shentlemens, I''ll dry do,said Louie,"but you will not dake a drink mit me once again, aind it?"
12281Shentlemens, how can I refuse to be one sheriff? 12281 So you think I''ve lost my number, do you?"
12281The point- men smiled at Pink''s orders, and one asked,''Are you ready now?'' 12281 Then he wilted and inquired,''Do you think I can cross if it swims them any?''
12281Well, boom if you want,said Tom Roll,"but do you all remember what the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina?"
12281Well, what are you doing in this country anyhow?
12281What do you fellows want here?
12281What ever became of the O''Shea girls?
12281What guard are you going to put me on to- night?
12281What in hell are you doing with my horses?
12281What is it?
12281When you what?
12281Which limb will be best?
12281Who are you?
12281Who gets the turkey?
12281Who is it?
12281Why do n''t you go this winter? 12281 Why?"
12281You did n''t know that I just came from Montana, did you, Tom?
12281Your answer to that, Don Ramon?
12281''Are all three dead?''
12281''Besides, what are you going to do about it?
12281''But wo n''t you all ride over to our wagon with me?
12281''If so, when and where?''
12281''Killed a Chinaman, did you?''
12281''Sam,''he would say,--my father''s name was Sam,--''Sam, why on earth is it that you never come to see me?
12281''What in hell are you varments trying to do?''
12281''When did you get the chips in this game, I''d like to know?
12281''Young man, do you know just what you are trying to do?''
12281Abner Taylor, witnessing the incident, rode over to a companion and inquired:"Did you notice my line- back poker steer play his last trump?
12281After I had made an earnest sincere talk she asked me,''No estay loco tu?''
12281After drinking alkali water for a month and living out of tin cans, who would n''t love Jack?
12281Am I condemned to die without a hearing?"
12281An hour afterwards, he walked up to the bar, and asked,"Is Mr. Seigerman in?"
12281Are you armed?''
12281Are you such base ingrates that you can show no mercy, not even to the innocent?"
12281As we strolled out into the street, Joe inquired,"Ace, where will I see you after supper?"
12281At this moment Miller dashed up and demanded,"What in hell are you trying to do?"
12281At this the Val Verde boy got on the prod slightly, and expressed himself, saying,''Why do n''t you have two of the other boys count them?
12281Can I send him such a letter?"
12281Can any of you boys tie a hangman''s knot?"
12281Could he not as well as yourself raise this amount?
12281Could he not do this as well as you?"
12281Could his spirit suffer the humiliation of meeting his old companions after such defeat?
12281Darkness had settled over the camp as we were at this work, while an occasional horseman rode by with the common inquiry,"Whose outfit is this?"
12281Did n''t I notice some young calves among your cattle this morning?
12281Did you hear me?"
12281Did you notice him paying strict attention to Smoky''s little talk?
12281Do n''t you think so, Stubby?"
12281Do we look as though a swim would improve our good looks?"
12281Do you suppose we could get any whiskey back at this Indian trader''s store?''
12281Do you think I''ll walk and lead you home?"
12281Do you think we ca n''t entertain you?
12281Drivers frequently meeting a chance acquaintance going in an opposite direction would ask,"What is your cargo?"
12281Edwards confronted him and said,"Do you contest my right to this claim?"
12281Finally Billy Edwards brought things to a head by asking bluntly,"What''s up with Jack?
12281Finally he inquired,"What ever became of that little fellow who was sick about your camp?"
12281Going to hang him, are you?
12281Have we no hunters with us?"
12281Have you a match?"
12281He was a ranchman at this time, so when I presented my prisoner he only said,''Killed a Chinese, did he?
12281His bondsmen began to inquire into the situation; in case the property could not be recovered, were they liable as bondsmen?
12281How come thees rope untie?"
12281How does the count suit you, boss?''
12281I hope you do n''t think for a moment that I would n''t like to visit you; now do you?''
12281I remarked to him at dinner,''You''re feeding a mite better this year, ai n''t you?''
12281Is that plain enough for your conception?
12281Is your underwear too light?"
12281Jed says that when the girls were describing their trip through Europe, one of them happened to mention Rome, when the old lady interrupted:''Rome?
12281Look at Mexico over there burying his fangs in the venison, will you?"
12281Lucky, ai n''t I?"
12281Now, can you play your part?"
12281Oppose the progress of the town, too, do you?''
12281Orchard looked over the edge of the rock at his reflection in the water, and ventured,"Would n''t I need a shave?
12281Our counters rode together, and Californy, leaning over on the pommel of his saddle, said to his pardner,''What you got?''
12281Rome?
12281Sabe?
12281Salt?
12281The messenger stayed all night, and in the morning asked,"Shall I order cars for you?"
12281Their tenants were killed over that trail; you see now why I hate to refer to it, do n''t you?
12281They were singing over at one of the wagons across the draw, and after the song ended, Bradshaw asked,"What ever became of Raneka Bill Hunter?"
12281This is your first trip, is n''t it?''
12281Was not he a unit of millions of his kind, all forging forward like brigades of a king''s army to possess themselves of some unconquered country?
12281Were n''t you with us when we voted the bonds to the railroad company?"
12281What business did you have voting bonds?"
12281What possessed you to bet it?"
12281What''s got into you boys?''
12281What''s your name?''
12281What, you never heard of it?
12281When the cigars were lighted Baugh observed,"Why, do you keep hotel?
12281Where have you been so long?"
12281Where is Rome?''
12281While the foreman was looking up accounts and making out the time of each, Baugh asked him,"When is the wagon going in after the winter''s supplies?"
12281Who is-- that with-- her?
12281Why did these routes separate and come together again?
12281Why do n''t you join us?"
12281Why had he not listened to the majority and been true to an accepted duty?
12281Why not accompany them?
12281Will you become our candidate?"
12281Will you kindly excuse me, say ten minutes?''
12281Wo n''t that satisfy you?''
12281Would they accept this offer or refuse it?
12281You ai n''t asleep, are you, Don Guillermo?"
12281You did?
12281You''re alive, ai n''t you?"
12281You''re the cook, ai n''t you?''
12281and ought n''t I to have a string of beads around my swan- like neck, with a few spangles on it to glitter and sparkle?
12281him pray?"
34940''Any political news from below, Bill?'' 34940 ''Have you had a cruise in the yacht?''
34940''How sick?'' 34940 ''Not to that big chap over from Ten Mile Mills?''

34940''Why, my dear fellow,''he said,''do n''t you see?
34940''Ye did n''t expect her to marry a nobleman, did ye?''
34940After a careful survey of the magistrate and a pinch of the flesh to make sure that he was not dreaming, he exclaimed:--"Ned McGowan, is that you?"
34940After a pause he said with a half- pitying, half- humorous smile:--"''Pike-- aren''t you?''
34940Are you and she any blood relation that you know of?''

34940Or was it possible that it was only a weakness of the sex which no Republican nativity or education could eliminate?"

34940Then, after a pause of reflection, he looked up and said:"Will your Honor_ lend_ me fifty dollars so that I can pay this last fine?"

36999Will you postpone this marriage until you have made final proof on your claim, and give me one year of your life?
36999Am I right?"
36999As he listened to these astounding statements, he asked himself:"Why was it not possible for him to take advantage of this golden opportunity?
36999Did he not remember that beautiful stretch of rolling land through which he had passed?
36999Going with us?"
36999Had he not talked with the men who had been sent to bring about this transformation?
36999He handed his wife the package he had brought for her and asked if she could guess its contents?
36999He quaffed the steaming coffee with a relish, and looking across the table, asked suddenly:"How about the girl, Jack, who are these Gullys?"
36999How are you?"
36999How did you do it?"
36999Ida''s eyes instantly filled with tears and she exclaimed,"O Miss Anderson, had you forgotten Mr. Norton?
36999If so, would the change be permanent?
36999Is the goal in sight, or has their proximity to the desired end given them a vantage view?
36999It was to be-- and why not?
36999Miss Anderson who noticed this, went to her and placing her arm around the girl, asked,"What is it dear, does the storm frighten you?"
36999Mr. Norton, now in the best of spirits, turned to those present and asked:"Shall we listen to his plea?"
36999Norton smiled, and extending his hand to Gully, said:"That being the case, I will help you,"and added:"May I go into town with you tomorrow?"
36999Noting this, he asked them the cause of their distressed appearance, when, both speaking at the same time, they exclaimed:"How about the tree?
36999Palmer?"
36999Such an end; what could be expected of a thing of flesh and blood?
36999The homefolks were there, and others to extend help and sympathy at the time of misfortune, but on the desert, what?
36999Was it justice?
36999Was it within the power of man, with his advanced ideas and modern methods, to bring about such a transformation?
36999Were they safe?
36999What do you say, Jack?"
36999What does she see?
36999What right had man to dictate the conditions that shall obtain in certain localities, and would nature concede their demands?
36999What would they do?
36999Who was he, and what was his business?
36999Who were they, and what was their motive for coming?
36999Why could not he, like so many of his friends, sell out and follow in a few weeks?
36999Why not change from the torturing dull gray to green and then a golden hue, to be followed by the spotless mantle of white?
36999Why this increased speed?
42195What then must we call it?
42195And, perchance, through the fading light on the mountain peaks, may he not see a trail leading to a city where the streets are golden?
42195But what will not men undergo and dare for gold?
42195Did n''t they push then?
42195Even a slab to the"unknown"could not be placed, for who knows the grave?
42195If neither of these, what did we get?
42195In all candor, does it not more than satisfy the degree superlative?
42195My father was frequently asked after his return:"Was there no road you could follow?"
42195She said,"What is it, Clark?"
42195The great question of the day was:"Are you a Denver man or an Aurorian?"
42195The question is often asked, How did they acquire this property?
42195The rhymester who made Robinson Crusoe exclaim,"Oh, solitude, where are the charms that sages have seen in thy face?"
42195Was it gold, silver, or merchandise?
42195What better class of evidence could be desired?
42195What did they give us in exchange for it?
42195What would have been the use of putting up even a pine board, for the rising waters would soon have washed it away?
42195Who has not heard of the roses of the valley of Cashmere?
42195Who has not longed to behold their exquisite perfection?
42195Who knows?
42195Who, in cultivating it, has not felt solicitude and affection for these creatures of the garden?
42195Who, in cultivating roses, has not spiritually felt the better for it?
40574All right, Kate; you have grown into a kind of savage since your life with the Indians, eh?
40574Are you going to ask to go with the party to the Elkhorn, Joe?
40574Certainly; why not? 40574 Do you purpose to eat them?"
40574Do you think the savages will continue on their raid, and come further down the Saline valley?
40574Had you no family?
40574Have you any idea how many of the savages there were in the band that raided Spillman Creek settlement?
40574Have you ever had a personal encounter with any of the terrible beasts?
40574How many families are there in the settlement?
40574How many of the buffalo were killed after all that terrible yelling and shooting?
40574I do wish that we had ponies,began Rob for the hundredth time,"so that we could go anywhere in a hurry; do n''t you, Joe?"
40574I never saw an animal so frothy in my life before; did you, Rob? 40574 I suppose that you, mother and Gert, want to know how puppy- stew is prepared?
40574Is that a fresh track, Joe?
40574Kate, you must be very tired; do n''t you want to go to bed and sleep like a Christian once more?
40574No more stealing pretty little girls from their homes, eh?
40574What are Dog soldiers?
40574What shall it be, hunting or fighting?
40574What time ought we to leave here?
40574Where did the herd go?
40574Who is Charley Bent?
40574Why do n''t the Indians raise corn?
40574A Kaw brave told me the other day that there are a good many wild horses there yet; will you go, too?"
40574Arrived in front, they all halted, and with their usual"How?
40574Did you ever hear the Indian legend about the reason?"
40574Did you ever see such a resemblance, Gert?"
40574Did you ever think of that, Rob?"
40574Do n''t you see his hoof- marks point the other way?
40574Do n''t you think it''s delicious, Kate?"
40574Do you know that they very frequently go mad, and then many savages are bitten, and die a horrible death from hydrophobia?
40574Do you know, Rob, that the corn is a native plant of North and South America, yet it has never been found wild?"
40574He spoke up boldly:"When do you expect to go, Colonel?
40574How?"
40574Looking at his wife he said,"Wo n''t you get this man a bite to eat while I''m catching another animal for him?
40574Now, mamma and father, do n''t you think that I have made a famous ride?"
40574Rob looked over at his brother and sarcastically said, as he held up his cat and stroked it:--"I say, Joe, who''s got the biggest fish now?"
40574Suppose, Joe, we say the day after to- morrow?
40574The wind is just right for the dogs''noses, though I suppose those beautiful hounds of yours run both by scent and sight?"
40574There Joe suddenly stopped, and turning to Colonel Keogh, who had on the instant also halted, said,"Does n''t that look a little deerish, Colonel?"
40574What do the Indians say about it, Joe?"
40574When the band had arrived at the house the Indians dismounted, and after a series of"How s?"
40574When you go fishing, why do n''t you catch something like this?"
40574Who are the best men in this settlement, and where shall I go to warn them?"
40574Wo n''t that be jolly?"
40574Would they be able to hold out with ten miles of the same cruel lope ahead of them, before the breaks of the main Elkhorn would be reached?
40574You know that, and I just bet that we lose lots of game; do n''t you?"
40574You must have taken a great deal of pains to teach them to do their work so splendidly?"
40574could n''t we have lots of fun,"he continued,"with old Bluey and Brutus, after jack- rabbits and wolves, if we only had something to ride?"
40574exclaimed her mother,"if the Indians have captured her and carried her off, what shall we do?"
40574mamma, do n''t you know me?"
40574said she,"why did I ever consent to part with Ginger?
28663All ready?
28663And have they not the forest? 28663 And you saw others yesterday, did you?"
28663Are the doors secured?
28663Are there any of the imps with you?
28663Are there any of''em upon the other side?
28663Are we never to be rid of these brutes?
28663Are you hurt any?
28663Are you listening?
28663But have we not the house to protect us?
28663But how is that to be done? 28663 But suppose the ranger is captured himself?"
28663But will you not assist a person in distress?
28663But, brother, will not the kindness which our parents showed them while living be a guaranty of our protection?
28663But, even then, can he overtake you?
28663Ca n''t either one of you two chaps make out what sort of ship that is coming down- stream?
28663Can it be possible?
28663Dar, how does dat set on your stummich? 28663 Did n''t hear nothin''of the red- skins?"
28663Did they get Miss Leland?
28663Did you see how my gun kept twitchin''and jumpin''? 28663 Do you not think that they will abandon pursuit?"
28663Do you really think,pursued the sister,"it can be true that the Indians have perpetrated the outrages which have been reported?"
28663Do you see them bushes hangin''a little further out in the stream than the others?
28663Do you think, Cap''n, there''s likely to be a scrimmage where you drive your stakes?
28663Do you_ think_ that we are?
28663Forget it? 28663 Forty- two what?"
28663Frightened any?
28663Give out?
28663Gorra mighty,_ who''s dat_?
28663Gorra,he shouted,"is n''t you gwine to help dis pusson too?"
28663Have they made the proposition yet?
28663Have you heard anything hinted of the manner in which they intend to dispose of you?
28663Have you lost much of your wool?
28663How did you succeed in freeing yourself?
28663How do you propose obtaining it?
28663How does I know? 28663 How is it that you are here, then?"
28663How long do you intend to remain here?
28663How long is it that you have felt thus?
28663How soon do you intend discharging your piece?
28663How would you relish being roasted at the stake?
28663Hurt?
28663I have never told you, I believe, why the sight of a red- skin throws me into such a fit, have I?
28663If I tells de truf dey''re sure to t''ink I''s lyin'', and what''s de use?
28663Is it her friends that wish her?
28663Is she with you?
28663Is this the place?
28663It certainly seems probable, but why do you ask?
28663Of course Leslie and his friend are good marksmen, and why can we not do enough to deter and intimidate the savages? 28663 Say, you, you''ll get into trouble, wo n''t you, if you go back?"
28663Sha n''t I carry dat sick leg while you walk wid de oder one?
28663Shall I eat up your cords?
28663Shall we give ourselves up?
28663Still,continued George,"what can we do, even then?
28663Suppose they come upon all sides?
28663That you, Kent?
28663That''s what?
28663Then Kent is gone, is he?
28663Then,said she, bending toward him and lowering her voice still more,"I wish to ask you, Zeb, whether you would do me a favor?"
28663They are going to pursue us, are they not?
28663Well, admitting what you say,continued Leland,"did you leave a trail after getting in the boat, that will be easy for him to follow?"
28663Were you not taken off together?
28663Whar''s de use ob jumpin''? 28663 Whar-- whar?"
28663What are we to encounter now?
28663What did you come nosin''out here fur then?
28663What is it?
28663What is that?
28663What is the news? 28663 What noise is that?"
28663What reason had you for firing upon me?
28663What reason have you then for thinking that we shall meet him?
28663What shall I tell him?
28663What time, Kent?
28663What was it, Zeb?
28663What were you abusing him for, a few minutes ago, when he brought your food?
28663What''s the matter?
28663What, dis yere wool of mine? 28663 Where do you suppose that Kent can be?"
28663Where is George Leland?
28663Where is George?
28663Where is Miss Leland?
28663Who are you?
28663Who de debbil was dat?
28663Who is that you spoke to?
28663Who''s dat?
28663Who''s in distress?
28663Why did he not come here?
28663Why do they misuse you, if they intend to elevate you?
28663Why, what''s the matter, Kent?
28663Why, who would be there?
28663Yes; how came you in this scrape, Zeb?
28663Yes; what of them?
28663You are acquainted with Roland Leslie, Zeb?
28663You mean cut up?
28663You shoot Indian, eh?
28663You shoot Indian, eh?
28663( Then, to the person upon shore):"What might be your name?"
28663A savage approached her and commenced a conversation:"How is the pale- faced maiden?"
28663And clenching his hands he stalked boldly forward and demanded:"Whar''s dat lady?
28663But had I oughter to go dar or not?
28663Can they not lurk around until we die of hunger, or until they fire the building?
28663Could it be possible?
28663Could_ he_ do anything toward rescuing her from bondage?
28663Did n''t I pick dat darkey off awful nice?
28663Did they capture George Leland?"
28663Did you really see an Indian, though?"
28663Do you think, George, that I could rest as long as your sister is in the hands of those savages?"
28663For a few moments the boat glided rapidly down the stream, when Whiteman spoke:"Where''d you put up last night, Leslie?"
28663Goin''to help?"
28663Had I not better run in to the other shore?"
28663Have you seen anything lately to excite suspicion?"
28663He had no more than reached it, when Zeb asked:"See noffin''?"
28663Heigh, Miss Rosa?"
28663How could any one imagine that to be anything else than a genuine flat- boat?
28663How is it, Kent?"
28663I ran in under the bank and had an undisturbed night''s rest?"
28663If he''s done got away, how am I to find him?
28663If the sight of her dress sets you in such fits, what do you s''pose''ll''come of you when you set your eyes on her?
28663In the meantime, what do you propose that we do with ourselves?"
28663Is n''t dat old Kent?"
28663Leslie did as he was bidden, and again spoke:"What is it, Kent?"
28663Leslie?"
28663Might not some other party be misleading them?
28663Mind to help?"
28663Now, s''posen an old feller that do n''t know nothin''says somethin''?"
28663Red- skin?"
28663Rosalind, what did you see?"
28663She could ride down those immediately around her, and what was there to prevent her making good her escape?
28663She resumed:"Are you bound, Zeb?"
28663Was it not a dream?
28663Was it not possible that the party had subdivided, and the one that held her taken an entirely different course?
28663Was she alive, or already slain?
28663Was she living or dead?
28663Was there any hope of meeting her again?
28663What did you let''em cotch_ you_ fur?"
28663What do you make of it?"
28663What reason have you for being here?"
28663What would you advise us to do under the circumstances?"
28663What you say?"
28663Where has he come from?
28663Where was she?
28663Who war jestin''?
28663Why, is that you, George?"
28663Would Kent come back without information or hope?
28663Would he see her, and clasp her to his bosom, or was she a hopeless captive?
28663You know that it would be the best for you to have a companion, and who can you take but me?"
28663You remember Roland Leslie, who was here last summer?
28663[ Illustration:"Does the maiden remember Pequanon?"]
28663[ Illustration:"You shoot Indian, eh?"
28663ca n''t you let a feller''lone, when he''s yarnin''as good as he can?"
28663do you s''pose dere''s anything that''d make_ me_ afeard of dem Injins?
28663does yer s''pects I can jump dat?
28663is Leland there?"
28663massa George, what''s up?"
28663said the latter, in a hurried, husky whisper,"where am de cussed niggers?
28663says I,''what you doin''here?''
28663she murmured,"did you see it?"
28663whar did_ you_ come from?"
28663whar''d_ you_ come from, George?
28663what you wastin''your bullets on dis nigger''s head for?
28663what''s that?"
28663what''s wantin''?"
28663who is this?"
28791All this time?
28791Can_ you_ shingle?
28791Did n''t I warn you?
28791Do we really_ see_ the ocean?
28791Do you need another hand?
28791Do you want some skilled help?
28791Have I been wrong?
28791Have times changed? 28791 Have you got it yet?"
28791How can I go east? 28791 How can so many people find a living in one place?"
28791How can we share our good fortune with her and with sister Jessie?
28791How could I do that? 28791 How do I look?"
28791How long did you_ think_ you''d slept-- two days?
28791How will he receive me? 28791 I hope to be able to work into a professorship in literature some day.--What do you intend to do?"
28791If the city is miles across, how am I to get from the railway station to my hotel without being assaulted?
28791Is n''t it the next day?
28791Is that thee, friend Richard?
28791Is the workman in America, as in the old world, coming to be a man despised?
28791Richard, is that you?
28791Shall I give up my career at this point? 28791 So you are Dick''s boy?
28791Well, Dick,Grandad began,"so ye''re plannin''to go west, air ye?"
28791Well, Garland,said he,"what are you going to do after you graduate this June?"
28791What am I to do?
28791What are you going to do with it?
28791What are you going to do?
28791What did you gain by this disagreeable habit of early rising?
28791What do you mean by such a performance?
28791What does it all mean?
28791What is it, mother?
28791What is it, my boy?
28791What is that?
28791What is the matter?
28791What is the use of laying up a store of goods against the early destruction of the world?
28791What is there for me to do out here?
28791What is this about?
28791What would he do there? 28791 What''s that?
28791What''s the matter?
28791What''s the meaning of all this?
28791When can you move?
28791Where did you get all that fruit?
28791Where have you been?
28791Where will we stay?
28791Why, mother!--what is the matter?
28791Wo n''t you be seated?
28791Wo n''t you come and see your poor old father when he comes home from the war?
28791Yes, but where are your tools?
28791You think it not quite like me? 28791 You will write to me, wo n''t you?"
28791Your father is suffering sharply, is he?
28791_ It''s the next day!_"We''ve slept twenty- four hours!--What will the landlady think of us?
28791***** As I was leaving next day for Chicago, I said,"Mother, what shall I bring you from the city?"
28791Addison wants you to spend the winter with him, and mother wants to see David once more-- why not go?
28791At last on the door- step she turned and said,"Wo n''t you come in again?"
28791At the end of a long talk he said,"Why do n''t you come to Boston and take a special course at the University?
28791At this point David came in, and everybody shouted,"Did you stop them?"
28791Beckie, where are you going to put these children?"
28791Ca n''t you borrow a little?"
28791Can any other country on earth surpass the United States in the ruthless broadcast dispersion of its families?
28791Can you keep me all night?"
28791Can you wonder therefore that I trembled with joyous excitement as I paced the platform next morning waiting for the chariot of my romance?
28791Could any other land furnish a more incredible momentary re- assembling of scattered units?
28791Cross?"
28791David, looking toward the kitchen, said,"Is n''t there some way to keep her from working?"
28791Do you wonder that when I left Boston a week or two later, I did so with elation-- with a sense of conquest?
28791Does n''t the whole migration of the Garlands and McClintocks seem a madness?"
28791Father was inclined to ask,"What''s the good of it?"
28791For the glance of eyes undimmed of tears, for the hair untouched with gray?
28791For thirty years you''ve carried mother on a ceaseless journey-- to what end?
28791Grandmother was cheerful in the midst of her toil and discomfort, for what other mother had such a family of noble boys and handsome girls?
28791Grandmother was waiting for us and our places were ready, so what did it matter?
28791Has a spirit of unrest and complaining developed in the American farmer?"
28791Have you spoken to the Librarian about it?"
28791He honors bright colors, for has he not set the rainbow in the heavens and made water to reflect the moon?
28791He never failed to ask of a morning,"Well, when are you going back to shingling?"
28791He performed each habitual act with most minute care, till I, impatient of his silence, his seeming indifference, repeated,"Do n''t you understand?
28791His big shoulders began to shake and a chuckle preceded his irritating joke--"Going back to shingling?"
28791How can I best serve my mother?"
28791How can I carry out such a plan?"
28791How could I help it?
28791How could I sneak back with empty pockets?"
28791How could I?
28791How could he?
28791How could people stay all their lives in one place?
28791How is Dick getting along?"
28791How will he look?
28791How''s Belle?"
28791I asked myself,"Why have these stern facts never been put into our literature as they have been used in Russia and in England?
28791I knew that I was physically on the down- grade, but what could I do?
28791I passed on to bay Kittie whose bright eyes seemed to inquire,"What is the matter?"
28791In a meek, husky voice I asked,"Is Mr. Howells in?"
28791Is there not something wrong in our social scheme when the unremitting toiler remains poor?"
28791Is this the''fairy land''in which we were all to''reign like kings''?
28791It''s in a rich and sheltered valley and is filled with associations of your youth.--Haven''t you had enough of pioneering?
28791It''s perfectly legitimate material for a novel, as picturesque in its way as_ The Rise of the Vendà © e_--Can''t you make use of it?"
28791Kirkland had read some of my western sketches and in the midst of his praise of them suddenly asked,"Why do n''t you write fiction?"
28791Like Millet, I asked,"Why should all of a man''s waking hours be spent in an effort to feed and clothe his family?
28791Lonely like a withered tree, What is all the world to me?
28791Made his pile, I s''pose?"
28791Nevertheless I hoped, and in that hope I repeated,"You will write to me, wo n''t you?"
28791Not knowing precisely how to retreat, I faltered out,"Have you a bed for us?"
28791Of what avail this constant quest of gold, beneath the far horizon''s rim?
28791One day, early in''91, as I was calling upon him in his office, he suddenly said,"Garland, why ca n''t you write a serial story for us?
28791One that shall deal with this revolt of the farmers?
28791Should we wear white ties and white vests, or white ties and black vests?
28791Sometimes he would ask,"Do n''t you think the horses ought to have a rest as well as yourselves?"
28791The Doctor understood this feeling and asked,"How much are you paying now?"
28791The scene became too painful for me at last, and I fled away from it-- out into the fields, bitterly asking,"Why should this suffering be?
28791Then there was the famous passage,"Did ye not hear it?"
28791Then, bending down, he asked of me,"What is your name and occupation?"
28791They were at once familiar and mysterious-- mysterious with my new question,"Is this life worth living?"
28791This pleased him greatly, but he asked,"Do you think you can stand it?"
28791Timid souls began to inquire,"Are all Dakota summers like this?"
28791Two hours passed swiftly in this way and as the interview was about to end he asked,"Where do you live?"
28791W''at ye doin''down there?"
28791Want it?
28791Was it only a useless obsession on the part of my pioneer dad?
28791Was she never to enjoy a roomy and comfortable dwelling?
28791Well, what are you doing on the road a night like this?
28791What is it all about, anyhow, this life of ours?
28791What right had I to share in this splendor?
28791What shall I say to him?"
28791What were we to do when our schooling ended?
28791What would you think of such a plot?"
28791What''s the matter?"
28791Where are the''woods and prairie lands''of our song?
28791Who is the writer of it?"
28791Who was she?
28791Why Concord, do you ask?
28791Why could n''t we have slept till six, or even seven?
28791Why do n''t you board with me?
28791Why do n''t you come and stay with me?
28791Why has this land no story- tellers like those who have made Massachusetts and New Hampshire illustrious?"
28791Why not go back and be sheltered by the hills and trees for the rest of your lives?
28791Why rise before the sun?
28791Why should children cry for food in our cities whilst fruits rotted on the vines and wheat had no value to the harvester?
28791Why should mother be wrenched from all her dearest friends and forced to move away to a strange land?"
28791Why should our great new land fall into this slough of discouragement?
28791Why was she there?
22646And did n''t you hear any thing of the bell?
22646And gained that much time; do ye know,added Terry, in a half frightened voice,"what I obsarved?"
22646And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, Who are these which are arrayed in white robes? 22646 And so the boat is yer own?"
22646Are there any more streams to cross?
22646Are ye sure of the same?
22646Are you hurt?
22646Begorrah, but was n''t it lucky that we did n''t have the blanket wrapped about us?
22646But there are no Indian villages within a great many miles of this place-- is that not so?
22646But there_ must_ be, for how could father and the rest have crossed?
22646But they ca n''t know that_ I''m_ not goin''to shoot among them,--so why should n''t they be scared out of their siven sinses? 22646 But where could they have got their horses?"
22646But where is the bridge? 22646 Can ye read and write?"
22646Could it be,asked his companion,"that these spalpeens do n''t belong to the same crowd that we saw?"
22646Deerfoot made it and hid it under the bushes: why did not my brothers use the paddle?
22646Deerfoot thinks maybe his brother would be glad to lay him on the ground?
22646Did n''t ye obsarve them with particularity?
22646Did ye iver manage the paddle yersilf when the creek got onto one of its tears?
22646Did ye iver see the like?
22646Did you make hunt for her last night?
22646Do I know him?
22646Do my brothers see the gleam of the water yonder?
22646Do obsarve where the trail comes down to that big bowl?
22646Do ye observe his left eye and the end of his nose where one of me blows landed? 22646 Do ye think that if I heard the bell I would n''t have found the cow?
22646Do you think so?
22646Does Deerfoot do so?
22646Does the Wolf strike with his knife at his own gun?
22646Fred,said the other, stopping short in his excitement;"do ye think they are goin''to attack the_ sittlement_?"
22646From what point did it seem to come?
22646Gone away? 22646 Has n''t he gone off?
22646Has not his people stolen the hunting grounds of the red man?
22646Has she been stolen?
22646Has the cow ever been lost before?
22646Have you any idea how it got there?
22646Have you any idea of who the owner can be?
22646How about the wither, me lad?
22646How can they help being in need?
22646How come ye to know all that, Fred?
22646How could I wake ye up when I was aslaap mesilf?
22646How could we have made such a blunder?
22646How long will this keep up?
22646Hurt? 22646 I begs to corrict ye,"said the other;"it was three shots, for do ye not mind that I bored a hole through him when we first made his acquaintance?"
22646I do n''t see much chance of the same,was the sensible comment of Terry;"but, me boy, have ye any idaa of what time it is?"
22646If I alone could attend to them, do you think we together have any thing to fear?
22646If it was goin''to do that, would n''t it have done so before this?
22646Is it not likely that some of the red men are between us and our friends?
22646Is my brother ill, that he suffers so much?
22646Let me see, Terry; Brindle wore a bell round her neck, did n''t she?
22646Niver,was the emphatic reply;"how could they have got around so far in front?
22646On which side shall Deerfoot throw his brother?
22646So you claimed, but you have n''t explained how it was that such a shot could be made without leaving any wound?
22646Terry, how will that do for a shot?
22646Terry, it wo n''t do to stay here,shouted Fred, casting about for some place of refuge;"where shall we go?"
22646That''s for our dinner; what would you suppose?
22646They are not meaning to make a start to- night?
22646They may have had them within easy reach?
22646They seem to have hard work in finding us: where do those Winnebagos come from?
22646Was n''t it strange, Deerfoot,said Fred,"that we should have found that canoe?"
22646We are on our way to the camp in the Ozarks,said Fred Linden;"and am I mistaken in believing that you will go with us all the way?"
22646Well, there''s no use of guessing, for any way it must be only a guess; but where do you suppose Deerfoot is?
22646What are they?
22646What are you talking about? 22646 What do ye signify be the same?"
22646What do you mean by foul blows?
22646What do you mean?
22646What do you mean?
22646What do you mean?
22646What does my brother want?
22646What for?
22646What is it?
22646What is that?
22646What is that?
22646What made you think so?
22646What of that? 22646 What was it then that amused you so much?"
22646What would they be?
22646What''s the matter with you?
22646What''s the matter, Fred? 22646 What''s the matter?"
22646When will the Winnebagos that are following us come to this stream?
22646Where could they have come from?
22646Where did ye land the shot?
22646Where is the home of my brother?
22646Which looks as if you are a bigger dunce than you seem; but,added Fred, turning toward the Shawanoe,"have you seen any thing of the Winnebagos?"
22646Who is he?
22646Who said I was afraid?
22646Who swung the paddle?
22646Who? 22646 Who?"
22646Why did n''t you shoot him?
22646Why did you do that?
22646Why do the spalpeens come down in this part of the world, and why do n''t they behave thimselves whin they do?
22646Why does my brother look with evil eyes on the Wolf, who has come from the lodges of the Winnebagos? 22646 Why does my brother think of danger?"
22646Why does the Wolf seek the life of Deerfoot?
22646Why then did you ask me to listen?
22646Why, Terry,said the delighted Fred, asking the useless question,"what is the meaning of this?"
22646Will ye be kind enough to raich yer right hand over your lift shoulder and shake wid me on the same?
22646Would he have died more quietly, or with less pain than from the knife? 22646 Ye were a friend indade, though ye''ll admit, Deerfut, that I toppled over the spalpeen in foine style, now did n''t I?"
22646You are right, Terry, but what did you do with that bell that Deerfoot took away from the Winnebago?
22646You soon will be, but I have been out with father before to- day and shot buffaloes: have you?
22646A cow after losing one milking is apt to feel so uncomfortable that she hurries home to be relieved; but what''s the use of talking?"
22646And so ye hit one of''em whin ye touched off yer gun, did ye?"
22646And so ye say they was mounted on horseback: what has become of thim?"
22646Are not all red men brothers?"
22646Are ye ill?"
22646Before he could proceed further, Deerfoot asked:"Are these the hunting grounds of the Winnebagos?"
22646Before the other side of the prairie was reached, Terry Clark began asking himself the natural and important question,--How is this to end?
22646But who could the thief be?
22646But, great as was their admiration, there was a startling question that came to them: how was this interesting stream to be crossed?
22646Could he do a little to bring about that day of universal peace?
22646Do n''t you think it best that we should now go on, since you will not have the same trouble that we did?"
22646Do ye think we shall have any more trouble with them?"
22646Do you know how to make that call that Deerfoot used to bring the turkey to him?"
22646Do you mean to say that you can read_ writing_?
22646Does that little canoe belong to_ you_?"
22646Else, how could their shattered guns be in his possession?
22646He exclaimed:"Why did n''t I think of it?
22646How could it get_ here_?"
22646I say, Fred, did ye iver saa the loikes of him?
22646I wonder what has become of the wild beast?"
22646Is that understood?"
22646It weighed several pounds, but Terry broke in with the wondering inquiry:"What are ye goin''to do with_ that_?"
22646It wo n''t take them long to gather enough food to last for weeks, but how about water?"
22646Killed by a knife thrust too, that looks as if it had gone half way through his body; how was it, Deerfoot?"
22646Now, ai n''t I glad to see you, and how are you, old fellow?"
22646See?"
22646She listened in amazement, and then said:"Why, do you think you could write a book like that?"
22646Taking hold of his arm, he asked:"Where in the name of all that is wonderful did you learn that?
22646The Winnebago?"
22646Then, when he saw him turn a leaf, he said in a low voice:"Deerfoot, will you please read aloud?"
22646There was no instance of the hunters having been molested on their way to and from the trapping regions: why then this special caution of Deerfoot?
22646Was it work?
22646Was the like ever known?
22646Was there not some work which the Great Spirit had laid out for him by which he could help to soften the feeling of the two peoples toward each other?
22646What are ye talking about?"
22646What could be foiner than the swell that ye see there?
22646What more likely, therefore, than that a party of these had stolen the cow and driven her away?
22646What would he not have given at that moment could he have exchanged places with the handsome and triumphant young warrior?
22646When he once more stood beside the laughing Fred, the Shawanoe addressed both:"Are the guns of my brothers loaded?"
22646Why do men strive to kill each other?
22646Why should they always be at war?
22646Why was the bell put round her neck if it was n''t to guide friends?
22646Would the rest of the Winnebagos pocket the outrage and meekly withdraw from the country?
22646[ Illustration:"Did ye iver see the like?"
22646and whence came they?
22646exclaimed the amazed Fred,"are you sure?"
22646repeated Terry;"why that looks as if ye lived somewhere in this neighborhood; is such the case, owld boy?"
22646what was he doin''?"
22646why did n''t I think of that before?
44823I then observed to my friends that the commandant would expect some present from us-- such was the custom-- and what should it be?
44823Then an old Indian, finding that his plot was exposed, ran down to the beach, hailing the boats:"Where you go?"
44823if this is not little Sammy Forman,"and, hugging and kissing me, added,"Why, do n''t you remember Charley Morgan?
23587And that one?
23587Are you sure none of the discharging clerks saw you when you came aboard?
23587Are you sure?
23587Are you the gentleman who brought those horses over from New Orleans?
23587Been fighting?
23587But that do n''t hinder us from taking a drink together, does it?
23587But what did you come to Mobile for? 23587 Can you guess it?"
23587Did I not tell you not to play that game on this boat?
23587Do yez hear that? 23587 Do you call playing poker swindling?"
23587Do you live here?
23587Do you think you can learn them well enough to win their money?
23587Dutch Jake,one of the big sporting men of New Orleans, was in the party, and he was up in an instant, and said:"What''s that?
23587Fifteen cents?
23587Have you got proof of that?
23587Have you heard the news?
23587He made considerable money in the South, did n''t he?
23587How did you come to lose your money, stranger?
23587How much did you get away with?
23587How much will you bet on your hand?
23587How the d--- l do you know what I had?
23587If yet you love game at so dear a rate, Learn this, that hath old gamesters dearly cost; Dost lose? 23587 Oh, is that all?
23587Oh, yes; did you not make one yourself?
23587One of us? 23587 Then,"says the Captain,"why did you pay twenty- five dollars for the loan of the money?"
23587We are, will you join us?
23587Well, Bill, do you remember the fellow that put up$ 3,800 against the$ 3,500, and you thought I did n''t know it?
23587Well, you have found me at home; what is your business?
23587Well,I said,"I will be honest with you; do n''t you dye your whiskers?"
23587Well,said he,"you are not going to keep my money?"
23587Well,says he,"where are the other five cards?"
23587What are you going to play?
23587What brought you so far away from home?
23587What for?
23587What game was that?
23587What is the least you will bet?
23587What part of Texas are you from?
23587What will you give for it?
23587What will you give me for it?
23587What''s that, Pinch? 23587 What''s that?
23587Where in the world is Greenups?
23587Where is the tramp cowboy that robbed me?
23587Will you bet a drink that I ca n''t guess it the first time?
23587Will you give''em back?
23587Yes,said I;"there were three besides myself; which one do you mean?"
23587You do n''t? 23587 Adam looked up, and the little woman grabbed the dried- up old man and shouted:Where''s my money?
23587After we closed up, and were taking our night- cap, I said to Bill,"What do you think of our last catch?"
23587All four of them spoke up in the same breath,"Who dealt the cards?"
23587As they were coming out they heard the fellow say,"Who in the h-- l put this molasses on the wheel?"
23587Bill came up to us out on the guards, and said:"Did n''t I tell you I would drive them out of their holes?"
23587Ca n''t you see that the baby card has a spot on it?"
23587Cow- boy Tripp was once doing the playing for me on the Missouri Pacific Railroad; and as I saw Sherman, I said to him:"See that conductor?
23587Did I succeed in my new undertaking?
23587Did I want to give up my hard- earned money?
23587Do I look like a sucker?"
23587Do not some poor people have to wait a long time in the"future"before they get back the money some rascal has put up and lost?
23587Do not the members put up their( and often times other peoples'') money on puts, calls, margins, and futures?
23587Do you know that physically he was for years one of the best men we had down there?"
23587Dost win?
23587Every time we would consult the jug, Bill would say,"George, do n''t tell the boys about how much fun we have had on this trip, will you?"
23587Finally looking up, he said,"How much will you turn for?"
23587Foster came to me and said:"George, you did not make a play, did you?"
23587Has he shown any Christian charity in speaking of a man in his grave?
23587He accepted, and while we were drinking, old"Rattlesnake Jack"walked up and said to the barkeeper:"Mister, how much you ax fur a dram o''liquor?"
23587He asked the jailer,"Which is Devol?"
23587He called me to one side, and said,"Did you think I was betting in earnest?"
23587He came to me as I was standing by the office, and said,"Are you the man who won all the money and diamonds last night?"
23587He invited me to join him in a drink, and then laughingly said:"Devol, how is the old business, anyway?"
23587He lammed her up, and I said:"Who will we leave it to?"
23587He looked at me and then at the fish, and then said:"Look here, my boy, where in the d--- l were you raised?"
23587He looked at me in surprise, and said:"How did you hear about it?"
23587He loves to play poker; do you think you can beat him?"
23587He replied,"Are you speaking to me?"
23587He said,"What was it?"
23587He said:"How dare you, sir, come in this place and rob our respectable citizens out of their money?
23587He walked up and said,"Ca n''t you find any one else to whip, without jumping on one of my men?"
23587How will be play him?"
23587I coolly said,"Did you think I was going to keep the money?"
23587I could see he was sizing me up, and I knew he wanted some of my mutton, so I said to him:"We have all had a drink but you; wo n''t you join me?"
23587I finally said to one of the planters,"What would you give for that stone?"
23587I laughed and said,"If you had won the money, you would not have felt like shooting the fellow, would you?"
23587I never play poker since that time on the boat; do n''t you remember?"
23587I replied,"Brother, had n''t you do a little of that for yourself?"
23587I replied:"Which$ 25 do you mean?"
23587I replied:"Why, chief, how could I, a man that knows but very little about cards, cheat an old gambler like this fellow?"
23587I said,"Gentlemen, it''s a call all around; why do n''t you show down?"
23587I said,"How much have you got there?"
23587I said,"What fellows?"
23587I said,"What picture?"
23587I said:"What are you going to do with those?"
23587I sat at one of the tables looking on for a long time, until at length one of the gentlemen said to me,"Do you ever indulge?"
23587I saw Johnnie Bull was crazy to bet, so I said to him:"Do you think you could guess the baby ticket?"
23587I snatched up the old man card and turned up the corner again, then said,"How in the name of common sense did you come to make that mistake?"
23587I stepped up to the Captain''s office and said to Bob Owens, the clerk:"Bob, what''s up-- what''s the boat laying here for?"
23587I then said"How much will you bet?"
23587I took a rest, and then let on as if I was going to raise sail, when Bill said,"George, what are you going to do?"
23587I waited patiently until he got it, then went around to him and said,"Is that the way you gamble where you live?"
23587I walked up to him and asked him what he was doing?
23587I was sitting in the hall, when one of the planters came to me and said,"Do n''t you dance?"
23587I went down to headquarters, and when I got there the General said,"Where is the money you won from that young man, coming over on the ship?"
23587In came the Captain and said,"George, did you win this man''s money?"
23587Is Mason Long a true Christian?
23587Is Mason Long converted?
23587Just as Bill was closing up, an old fellow, who knew me well, came up and said:"Devol, who is that old fool trying to play that game?"
23587McGawley asked,"What limit will we play?"
23587My friend then turned to Jack and said:"Old boy, where do you come from?"
23587Says he,"Do you mean it?"
23587See that clothing store?
23587So Foster came to me and said,"George, we will not try to do anything until after we leave Cairo, will we?"
23587So I said,"It is very dull here; what will we do to pass away the time?"
23587So, just as the game was about to close, I said to him,"What is your watch worth?"
23587Some one been_ gambling_ in_ this_ car?"
23587That old seedy cuss?"
23587The Captain said to him,"If you had won the money, would you have given it back?"
23587The Captain said to me,"Have you been gambling on my boat?"
23587The Judge spoke to him before he did to me, and said,"How did this man swindle you out of your money?"
23587The big fellow said to me,"Why did n''t you let me win the money?"
23587The lady wanted to know why he called it pawn- shop?
23587The lucky fellow told him to put up his diamond stud, saying in a whisper:"It is only for a minute; do n''t you see the mark on the card?"
23587The old fellow called Bush, and said to him,"Do you belong about here?"
23587The old superintendent jumped up, put away his papers, and said:"What''s this?
23587The sucker looked up at him and said:"What in the h-- l have you got to do with this game?"
23587Then Brogan said to me,"How is the best way to get some of that money?"
23587Then I said to old Jack:"What are you going to do with the tickets when you get out to Texas?"
23587Then I said to the cow- boy,"Will you bet money on the game yourself?"
23587Then he broke another, and another, and finally he broke one open and found it hard boiled; then he said,"Who biley the egg?
23587Then turning to the crowd, he said:"Wall, why do n''t yer''s laugh now?"
23587They soon were playing euchre, and began talking about poker, and presently the Judge came to me and said,"Devol, will you loan me$ 500?
23587This I was not slow to perceive; so turning to Bill, I said,"What''ll you bet I ca n''t turn the baby?"
23587Was he fully converted when he wrote"The Converted Gambler"?
23587We had a good laugh, took something, and then High said,"George, that woman''s a game one; what do you say to giving her back the gold?"
23587We had about finished up, when my partner said to my old friend,"I would like to make a bet, but I am unlucky; will you bet this$ 50 for me?"
23587We went up and had just got seated, when up came my partner and said,"Gentlemen, are you going to sport a little?"
23587What are the members of the Board of Trade but gamblers?
23587What do you take me for?
23587What do you think?
23587What have I done?"
23587What is it?"
23587What shall I do?
23587What yer put up$ 500 agin my$ 10 for?"
23587What you going to do?"
23587When do you want to go up?"
23587When he saw that Ryan had gone out, he said to me,"Where did he go?"
23587When, to everybody''s great surprise, the sucker said,"Gentlemen, I have made a mistake in my hand; ca n''t I take my money down?"
23587Where did he go?"
23587Where did you get it?"
23587Where was Bill?
23587While I was enjoying my morning meal, old Bill walked in and sat down with me, saying,"George, where was you this morning when the up train came in?"
23587Who loved his country more than Cato?
23587Who will take me?"
23587Why did you pick me out from among all the passengers for a sucker?"
23587Will you turn for it?"
23587Wo n''t he, Pat?"
23587Wo n''t you never drop to anything?"
23587where are your eyes?
23587you are?
14876A canoe? 14876 A lake,"echoed Paul,"and we''re going to live in it?
14876An''ought n''t we to hev Christmas, too, even ef we are up here in the wild woods, all by ourselves? 14876 And Braxton Wyatt will be with them?"
14876Any news, Sol?
14876Are n''t you glad, Paul,said Henry,"that you were not in the place of the water barrel?"
14876Are the wagons coming fast?
14876Are you all ready, Paul?
14876Are you hungry, Paul?
14876Are you rested now, Paul?
14876But do we dare make a fire?
14876Can the Shawnee belt bearers use the bow and arrow?
14876Chess? 14876 Could I sleep?"
14876Dick, what is that?
14876Did Big Fox, in his journey from the Shawnee village, hear of white men? 14876 Did you ever see a finer turkey?"
14876Did you not tell me that they were false, that there were no such warriors in the Shawnee village?
14876Do n''t you see, Paul,he said,"that we kain''t go to the islan''an''show to them that we''ve been livin''thar?
14876Do n''t you think we''d better stay in the boat, Henry?
14876Do we need to return to the island for anything?
14876Do we want''em to ketch us?
14876Do you believe in ghosts, Jim?
14876Do you hear that hoo- hooing sound?
14876Do you see anything, Henry?
14876Do you see anything?
14876Do you think I''m goin''to cook for a lazy bag o''bones like you, an''then wait on you, too?
14876Do you think the Shawnees will really come?
14876Do you think you could sleep, Paul?
14876Have they got you, too?
14876Have you a crooked tongue?
14876Have you any idea how far it is to their village, Braxton?
14876Henry,he said in a tone that indicated unbelief in his own words,"do n''t you think that they must have got tired and gone away?"
14876How about the danger from the Indians, Sol?
14876How are we to get rid of them?
14876How far away would you say that smoke is?
14876How far from us do you think they are now?
14876How long do you think it will take the Shawnees an''the Miamis to straighten out that tangle about the great war trail?
14876How long have I slept, and where did you get this?
14876How many did you say were left back there on the hill?
14876How''ll you do it?
14876If you do n''t git up an''stir aroun'', how do you expect to eat?
14876Is all my hair gray?
14876Is it enough?
14876Is n''t it fine, Paul?
14876Is n''t it the most beautiful fire you ever saw?
14876Is the word of a renegade, of one who would slay his own people, to be weighed against that of a warrior?
14876It was great luck, was n''t it, to find this barrel?
14876Jest me,said Sol;"an''ai n''t I about the purtiest Shawnee warrior you ever saw?
14876Just how?
14876Meanin''ourselves?
14876Meanwhile what are we to do?
14876Northward?
14876Now what under the sun is this?
14876Now what under the sun, Paul, are you goin''to do with that?
14876Now, what in thunder is that?
14876Now, why did n''t I think uv that?
14876Paul,he cried,"do n''t you hear them?
14876Paul,he said,"are you cold?"
14876See him thar on the limb,he said,"the big feller with the feathers all shinin''an''glistenin''?
14876See that?
14876Shall we halt?
14876Shall we stop at this spring,he said,"an''wash the paint off our faces?
14876Should we go back to the island, then?
14876Sol,he asked,"did you ever see a game of chess?"
14876Sol,he said,"can you and Henry see them?"
14876Them fellers be took?
14876They are waiting?
14876To meet us?
14876What about Henry and Ross and Sol?
14876What are they saying, Braxton?
14876What are we going to do now?
14876What are we to do?
14876What are you going to do?
14876What did them old- time fellers eat?
14876What difference does it make?
14876What do you mean by''on the flank''?
14876What do you mean, Paul?
14876What do you mean?
14876What do you propose?
14876What does it matter?
14876What is it, Henry?
14876What is it, Jim?
14876What is it, Jim?
14876What uv it?
14876What will be the end of it?
14876What''s our next step?
14876What, Indians again?
14876When do we start?
14876Where do you think they are?
14876Where?
14876Who said I was n''t standing up?
14876Who writ the accounts o''them thar battles?
14876Why do you do that, Henry?
14876Why have n''t they killed us?
14876Why, what do you mean?
14876Why, what has become of the river?
14876Why, what has happened?
14876Why, what is it, Henry?
14876Why?
14876Will not the smoke give warning to our enemies that we are here?
14876Will you keep them back?
14876Wo n''t it be dangerous?
14876Wo n''t it be seen?
14876Would a hungry wolf eat? 14876 You are going to fight that war band?"
14876You are not expecting anything more from them just now, Sol?
14876You are sure that they will make a new attack?
14876You are sure the country is entirely safe?
14876You do n''t expect to have a perfect world here below, do you, Paul?
14876You do n''t think they''ll be taken?
14876You have heard of them? 14876 You have n''t seen a better house than that lately, have you, Jim?"
14876You know what he is?
14876You know what that is?
14876You think we are likely to be besieged?
14876You think, too, they''ll want to revenge their losses?
14876You''re sure they wo n''t come over to the Island?
14876You''ve had it hot an''hard?
14876An Indian canoe?
14876Are those the terms, Jim?"
14876Are you ready to try it?"
14876But whose was the voice?
14876Did the Miamis really believe it was a haunted island?
14876Did you ever hear of him, Sol?"
14876Do n''t this look like Christmas?"
14876Do n''t you think so, Tom?"
14876Do you think I want to run away?"
14876Had Henry Ware been mistaken?
14876Had something moved in the forest?
14876Henry?
14876How could danger be threatening under such a smiling guise?
14876How did they get it?"
14876How long do you think we''ll stay here, Sol?"
14876How many?
14876I do n''t like to keep still, but it''s a fine country to look at, is n''t it, Paul?"
14876I thought only Injun chiefs had''em?"
14876If they were going to do anything, why did n''t they do it?
14876Is it a mark you shoot at?"
14876Is it you?"
14876It was like a signal to Paul, those words,"Are you ready to try it?"
14876It''s jest ez Sol sez-- whut did all them women goddesses mean by interferin''an''allus sp''ilin''a good stan''-up fight?
14876Jim Hart, are you ready?"
14876Now, what are our friends outside doing?"
14876Now, what is to- morrow, Paul Cotter?"
14876Now, who''s doin''too much talkin''?"
14876Oh, would he come?
14876Surely they are not less in skill than the Miamis?"
14876Thar, hear him?
14876The Injuns give us a kind o''excitin''variety, an''do n''t we always get away from''em?"
14876Then what was the use of this ambush?
14876Then who was it?
14876Was it Henry?
14876What decree of fate had caused him to be spying about that night, and what had caused him to find the door of Paul''s prison hut unfastened?
14876What did Yellow Panther mean by"one who had come but three days since"?
14876What shall the Miamis think?"
14876What was to be expected?
14876What''s that?
14876Whatever will become o''you?"
14876When they arrived there, far out of hearing of the others, Shif''less Sol said:"Do you know what day this is, Paul?"
14876Why do n''t you look at this hut of ours and imagine that it is a magnificent stone castle?"
14876Why else should I avow that I have spoken false words?"
14876Why have the Shawnees changed their minds?"
14876Why should I tell you this now if it is not true?
14876Will the messengers depart with them to- morrow?"
14876Will water run down hill?
14876Would Henry come?
14876Would he come?
14876Would he come?
14876Would he come?
14876Would the chief believe?
14876Would they come directly upon the white canoe or would they pass?
14876Would you mind tellin''us what they mean?"
14876You wo n''t deny that?"
45075How many Indians were there, and did you see them?
45075How about next morning?
45075How long would we be gone?
45075In his excitement he held the primers in his left hand, asking all the while,"Where in thunder are those primers?
45075Late in the evening James Hanrahan came to me and said:"Billy, where are you going?"
45075What have we to transport from our nations?
45075What use have we for railroads in our country?
45075What would be our adventures?
45075Where were we going?
22233Ai n''t it sound and good? 22233 Ai n''t you a little early this year?"
22233An''how are we goin''to do it?
22233And about my being an only child?
22233And if you do not?
22233And now what are you going to do?
22233And that is ruin?
22233And you just let them go through you?
22233Anything new?
22233Are you always in the woods?
22233Are you?
22233But do n''t you think we ought to start back now? 22233 But what shall we do?"
22233But you are going to, are n''t you?
22233But you live in them a great deal?
22233But,cried Severne, in expostulation,"do not these qualities appear in my story?"
22233By the way, did you fellows ever square up on that birling match?
22233Ca n''t I help you?
22233Ca n''t you do things?
22233Can I get a room here fer to- night?
22233Darrell?
22233Did n''t you know you were breaking the law?
22233Did n''t you know you''d be arrested?
22233Do n''t ye know that horses ca n''t be had?
22233Do n''t you know any better than to go into the woods without your bearings? 22233 Do n''t you know that we woodsmen live by our observation?
22233Do n''t you make no fight?
22233Do you know who that is?
22233Do you love him?
22233Do you want them?
22233Does that mean that our engagement is broken?
22233Driver,said he to Billy, as the brakes set for another plunge,"were you ever held up?"
22233Fight? 22233 Fight?"
22233Held up?
22233Held up?
22233Hello, Powers,I greeted him,"I suppose you do n''t remember me?"
22233How did he do it?
22233How is it, Tom?
22233How long is it going to take you?
22233How many did you get?
22233How many is they?
22233How you heeled?
22233How? 22233 I happened to have a limb broken at the time,"Alfred was observing, parenthetically, in his soft tones,"and so----""What kind of a limb?"
22233Is it important?
22233Is n''t there anything I can do, Lucy? 22233 Is n''t your home nearer?"
22233Is that all you want to know about me?
22233It would be a very foolish thing for you to stay, then, would n''t it?
22233May I?
22233Meanin''what?
22233Might I ask yore name?
22233Now what?
22233Now, what''s he tollin''_ me_ for?
22233Oh, it''s you, is it?
22233Oh, now it''s all right, is n''t it?
22233Oh, what is that?
22233Proud?
22233Proud?
22233Right about what?
22233Roaring Dick, eh? 22233 Same old fellow you were in college, are n''t you, Bert?"
22233Say, Hen,said he,"would you stuff it or put it under a glass case?"
22233See what?
22233Then you are on a mission?
22233They''ll saw high and crooked, they''ll chuck the tops-- who are we going to send to scale for''em?
22233To the Adamses or the Maxwells?
22233Up or down?
22233Well, I must be goin'', boys,said Peter, sidling toward the door;"and I''spect I''ll see some of you boys up there?"
22233Well?
22233What are you going to do there?
22233What did Alfred say?
22233What did you do it for?
22233What do you advise?
22233What do you call this?
22233What do you do? 22233 What do you mean?"
22233What do you mean?
22233What do you suppose I care how your foolish imaginary people brush their teeth and button their suspenders and black their boots? 22233 What for?"
22233What in hell are yo''doin''yere, yo''ranikaboo ijit?
22233What is it, Lucy?
22233What is it?
22233What is your name?
22233What is your name?
22233What yo''goin''to do?
22233What''re you doin''there? 22233 What''s that?"
22233What''s the matter with you?
22233What''s the row anyway?
22233What''ve you heard?
22233What?
22233When are you coming to see me?
22233Where are ye goin''?
22233Where are you going?
22233Where are you lost from?
22233Where did you come from just now?
22233Where is the boss?
22233Where is the office?
22233Where th''blazes did ye learn so much of loggin''? 22233 Where''s that damn ol''reprobate?"
22233Which do you mean?
22233Who would be hired at any price to go up in that country on a ten- mile haul?
22233Who''d have a fit? 22233 Who''s th''bucko?"
22233Why ai n''t that log marked?
22233Why did n''t you make a kick?
22233Why do n''t you ever look at me?
22233Why do you stare at that horrid fire?
22233Why should n''t we?
22233Why, who has been telling you about me?
22233Why?
22233Why?
22233Would you jest as soon, ma''am, if it ai n''t troubling you too much, jest nat''rally sort of untie Billy?
22233Ye have finished with this skidway?
22233Yo''ai n''t aimin''to set out to- night?
22233You are a gentleman, are n''t you?
22233You do n''t think there''s any danger, do you?
22233You got all day in front of you,said he;"why do n''t you take a horse and buggy and make a visit to the big jam?
22233You have no office then?
22233A sordid, silly enough little tale, is it not?
22233A streak of punk or rot?
22233Ai n''t it good timber?
22233Am I your long- lost friend?"
22233And Art; oh, where was it?
22233And do you know what he said to me just now,_ me_?
22233And for her, these years?
22233Are you glad?"
22233Besides, you know what Alfred said at our last camp?"
22233But what could she do about it?
22233But when?
22233Could the years have changed her as much?
22233Daly?"
22233Do you have much trouble getting away?
22233Do you see anything peculiar about that tree?"
22233Do you think it''s of vast importance?"
22233Do you think you''d like to take a look at her?"
22233Do you understand?
22233Has you any choice of cayuses for ridin''?"
22233Have you had much fighting?"
22233Have you seen him?"
22233How do I know he played the jack of diamonds on purpose?
22233How do you hope to push through the woods after dark?
22233How long do you calculate the man will require to dig in this manner, fifty, a hundred feet?
22233How long to excavate the numerous lateral tunnels which the Proof demands?
22233How long to sink one or two such shafts on each and every claim he has staked?
22233How?"
22233I s''pose he thinks he''s perticular all hell, do n''t he?"
22233Is n''t he funny?
22233Is there a mark on it?
22233Ketch on?
22233Like all the rest, did I say?
22233Now, you know where I am, why do n''t you tell them and save Billy?"
22233Oftenest?
22233Perhaps she had ceased counting them?
22233Roaring Dick?
22233Scold her good for me when she comes in-- will you?"
22233She was having a high old time; why should n''t she?
22233Then, when he had puffed a few moments in quiet content, he inquired:"How did you come to get lost?"
22233They could not fleece him again in precisely the way they had done so before; but how could he guess at the tricks they had in reserve?
22233They''ll show like a dark streak, down past that butte there-- what''s its name?"
22233To- morrow?
22233Understand?
22233Understand?
22233Understand?"
22233Was it a good one?"
22233Was she getting to be an old woman?
22233Whar do I come in?
22233What can any man do?
22233What can you do?"
22233What do you suppose they''d say if I were to ride out just that way for two miles?
22233What had they meant?
22233What happens?
22233What must I do?"
22233What the hell''s th''matter with it?
22233What was he to do?
22233What was the matter?"
22233What was the use of trying?
22233What was to prevent his making it sixteen?
22233What wonder that he persevered?
22233What wonder that he survived when so many others went down?
22233What would you think of it?
22233What''s the sense of it all, anyway?"
22233Whom could they spare among the greater?
22233Whom could they trust among the lesser foremen of their woods force?
22233Wo n''t this all- night absence alarm your relatives?"
22233Would you not be inclined to suspect that the scaler had cheated you in favour of his master?
22233_ Watch out!_""What?"
22233that you had been compelled by false figures to work a day or so for nothing?
10810Admit it? 10810 And be shot like dogs?"
10810And phat, would I be givin''her that jaw- crackin''name fur, when her name''s Juanita?
10810And what do you argue from that, Tom?
10810And wo n''t you take this plaguy mule?
10810Be gorra, now, ai n''t this fun?
10810But ai n''t t''other a boy, ez well?
10810But did n''t I tell you you would?
10810But do n''t they stay with their little ones?
10810But how could he?
10810But how could that track be there, if there was no bear to make it?
10810But how did he do it?
10810Ca n''t you give us a few general rules, Jerry?
10810Certainly, Jerry; but would n''t it be better to bring the body in, and bury it here?
10810Come, Jerry, tell us how you know when the Indians passed?
10810Did n''t one of the cussid varmints, just play the same trick on you?
10810Did you ever hear they did n''t?
10810Did you ever kill one?
10810Do they have any particular ceremonies, when they start on the war- path, Tom?
10810Do they make the squaws work, like the other Indian tribes, Tom?
10810Do with''em? 10810 Do you know what that means?"
10810Do you mean to tell me, that that Indian could steal my horse, right here, under my very eyes, and I not see him?
10810Do you really think it can be done, Jerry?
10810Do you suppose they''ll follow us?
10810Do you think,asked Hal, appealing to me,"that there''s any need of standing guard to- night?"
10810Faith,said he,"do n''t I know well enuff?
10810Get him? 10810 Hark, Jerry,"said I;"did you hear that?
10810Have you a recommendation?
10810How did he get away? 10810 How do you do that?"
10810How do you know that?
10810How do you know you''re settin''on that horse?
10810How do you know?
10810How do you know?
10810How much did you pay for him?
10810How old is the trail, Jerry?
10810How was that, Jerry?
10810I wonder what they''ll do now? 10810 If you think they are going to attack us, Jerry, had n''t we better rouse the camp at once, and notify Magoffin''s people?"
10810Is it a fact, that the Comanches frequently cook their meat by placing it under the saddle and riding on it all day?
10810Is n''t it time for a start, Jerry?
10810Now, boys, you''ve got the ponies, what are you going to do with them?
10810Och, it''s me characther, is it, yeze afther axin''fur? 10810 Phat can I do, is it?
10810Phat would I call her, thin?
10810Put your what, youngster?
10810Say? 10810 Tell me, Jerry, do you know much about them?"
10810Tell us please, how he stole your horse, will you?
10810That means''look out,''plain enuff, do n''t it?
10810That was all right, Patsey; but you did n''t turn him loose, did you?
10810That''s true enuff,said Jerry;"but who put''em there?
10810They wanted to smoke us out, did they? 10810 Travellers do n''t ginerally have nothin''ter do but pick up stones and pile''em up in thet shape, do they?
10810We can both go; ai n''t that nice?
10810Well, Jerry, how do you account for his disappearance?
10810Well, Patsey, what can you do?
10810Well, what can we do, Jerry?
10810Well, what''s your name?
10810Well, why did n''t you go out and help find him?
10810Well, you see he has, do n''t yer?
10810What are they going back for?
10810What are they?
10810What can they be going back for?
10810What did he say?
10810What did they say?
10810What is it, Jerry?
10810What is it, Patsey?
10810What is it? 10810 What kind of a job?"
10810What makes you think so?
10810What say you, Jerry, shall we try it?
10810What should he do? 10810 What things''ll I put in the wagin, sur?"
10810What under the sun was you afraid of? 10810 What were the soldiers doing there?"
10810What''s a''call''?
10810What''s that, sur?
10810What''s that?
10810Where did you come from?
10810Where in the world did you get that bear, Hal?
10810Where''s your folks, old pard?
10810Where?
10810Who''ll go with me round to the mouth of that cussed ravine? 10810 Whoever seed a bad Injun, ef you let him tell his story?
10810Why do n''t you say that the Comanches passed this spot at precisely seventeen minutes past six o''clock this morning? 10810 Why not, youngsters?
10810Why not?
10810Will she ever come back? 10810 Would n''t I?"
10810Yer see thet dust down thar to the southward, do n''t yer? 10810 Yer see thet little mountain right ahead of us, do n''t yer?
10810Yes, but where did you come from now?
10810Yes,responded the girl,"you did; but I heard you and Anastacio--""By the way, where is Anastacio?"
10810Yes; but how did he get loose?
10810You do n''t anticipate any trouble with these fellows?
10810You do n''t exactly mean that, do you, Jerry?
10810You''ll admit that, wo n''t you?
10810--"Ain''t they funny little things?
10810--"How can we catch one?"
10810--"Where did he go to, Jerry?"
10810Ai n''t an Irishman as good as a Mexican, any day?
10810Ai n''t he a noble fellow?"
10810Air your shootin''-irons reddy?"
10810Are they all yours?
10810As he stood twirling his hat, and resting awkwardly upon one foot, I asked,--"What do you want of me, my boy?"
10810As soon as Hal could speak he blubbered out,--"Where''s Juanita?"
10810As soon as he had gone, Ned crawled over to my side, and said,"Do you really believe that it was an angel Jerry saw?"
10810Ca n''t I have one to ride?
10810Ca n''t yez all sae I''m a did mon?"
10810Can we hold out five minutes longer?
10810Can we make it?
10810Could they have been captured?
10810Did n''t I sae him wid me own eyes, shure?"
10810Did n''t she just fly, though?
10810Do you believe I shall ever be able to manage her?"
10810Hal and Ned jumped to their feet, exclaiming,--"Which way did he go?"
10810How many hev you got up here?"
10810How many voices, before another hour, might be hushed in death?
10810I said to him,"Patsey, how did the bear get away?"
10810Jerry uttered a low whistle, and said,"Look behind you, will you?"
10810Judge,"continued he, turning toward me,"jest you try a crack at them fellers with yer new- fashioned''dust- raiser,''will yer?"
10810Ned rode up breathless, upon his panting pony, and said to one of the Mexicans,--"Say, Juan, how do you throw a lasso?
10810Now what''s the use of standing guard and shivering round the camp half the night, watching for Indians that never come?"
10810Now, a white man do n''t look at a country in that way, does he?
10810Old Jerry says,"We must be near to''em; but where are they?
10810Phat would I be doin''that fur?"
10810Shortly after unsaddling our horses, Tom came to me, and said,"Be you pretty sure, judge, that them fellers was Comanches, that attacked you?"
10810That''s a nice sort of a guard, ai n''t it?"
10810Then, in a kinder tone, he inquired if he was much hurt?
10810Turning to Jerry, I said,"Is n''t there any danger here?"
10810We were mighty glad when we saw you, was n''t we, Hal?"
10810Were they gaining on us?
10810What are you going to do with them?"
10810What could I do?
10810What could we do to escape the horrible fate that stared us in the face?
10810What d''yer say, youngsters?"
10810What did it mean?
10810What did it mean?
10810What do yer reckon become of him, if''twain''t angels?"
10810What should I do?
10810What should we do?
10810Where''ll the byze git the sooap ter wash wid?"
10810Where''ll they go to dig it, shure?"
10810Which of you want to go down to the corral with me?"
10810Whose are they?
10810Why did n''t you show me, instead of crying, when we were up that tree, yesterday?
10810Why do n''t our men see us, and hasten to the rescue?
10810Why not exercise the same precaution to- night that we have since we left San Antonio?
10810Will it ever come?
10810Will our friends ever see us?
10810Will yer hear it?"
10810Without a moment''s hesitation he replied,--"Strange?
10810Would it be repeated?
10810but I must hev thet skin; ai n''t it putty?"
10810called I;"and how''s your shoulder this morning?"
10810do n''t yer see''em squattin''in that tree, thar?"
10810exclaimed Hal, looking around;"why, where could he hide, I''d like to know?"
10810how could we?
10810inquired Jerry;"and hain''t he got ten times as much sense?
10810judge, hain''t you been in Texas long enough to know a painter''s yell when you hear it?
10810pull his picket- pin?"
10810repeated Jerry, contemptuously,"what good d''yer s''pose rules''ed do you?
10810said Jerry;"how could they give any sign when I could n''t hear my own shots?
10810shoot one of those horses?"
10810tell us all about it Tom, will you?"
10810yer ai n''t afraid o''one of them critters, be yer?
10810you was n''t, hey?
10810your bare legs?"
45699''Forty years? 45699 What shall I do with the third regiment, if I make peace?"
45699What shall be done with them?
45699Why do n''t he confine the troops to the great line of travel?
45699Only three hundred miles?''"
45699That''s the sum, what is the quotient?
45699Was the United States, or should it become, a nation competent to undertake the work?
45699_ You_ do?
11151''Do you know Tom O''Reilly?'' 11151 ''Is that the only way?''
11151''Shall I make him my husband?'' 11151 ''What isht yees want?''
11151''Will ye marry him this same night?'' 11151 A white man, does ye say, that run off wid Miss Cora?"
11151All right-- all be good-- like Miss Harvey?
11151An''what if we did, zur? 11151 And could not Teddy have obtained his of such a man?"
11151And he wishes me to see him; is that it?
11151And how do you suppose I feel, Teddy?
11151And what does ye make of it, Miss Cora, or Master Harvey?
11151And you''ve been huntin''''i m these three or four months be you?
11151Are there not some of your people who are addicted to the use of liquor?
11151Are you the man, Brazey, who has haunted me ever since we came in this country? 11151 Arrah, be aisy now; is n''t it me master he''s after, and what''s the difference?
11151Arrah, now, has either of ye saan anything more than the same bowlders there?
11151Brazey, why have you haunted me thus, and done me this great wrong?
11151But, Teddy, what made him do it?
11151Can I ask more?
11151Can it be that Bra-- that that hunter has done me this great wrong?
11151Cora, Cora, what is the matter? 11151 Cora, are you sorry that we came into this wild country?"
11151Cora, has he harmed you?
11151Could n''t yees be doing that, and this same thing, too?
11151Did I not do right, Cora?
11151Did n''t yees pursue the subjact any further?
11151Did yees ever hear him?
11151Did you ever give it him before?
11151Do n''t want more?
11151Do n''t yer s''pose I know all about_ that_?
11151Do n''t you notice any difference in the atmosphere, Cora?
11151Do ye know?
11151Do you not become lonely sometimes, Cora, hundreds of miles away from the scenes of your childhood?
11151Do you turn off here?
11151Does he want kill you?
11151Harvey Richter-- don''t you know me?
11151Harvey Richter-- don''t you know me?
11151Has anything befallen your husband?
11151Has such been the revenge that he has been harboring up for so many years? 11151 Have I not my husband and boy?"
11151Have you come a long distance?
11151Have you lost your way, At- to- uck?
11151How do you do, Teddy?
11151How do you know she ca n''t be got agin, whin--"She was tomahawked afore my eyes-- ain''t that enough?
11151How do you know? 11151 How far away is The- au- o- too?"
11151I am displeased, for your shot might have taken his life, and-- but, see yonder, Teddy, what does that mean?
11151I knew that I should look upon your face again; but, till me where it is yees have come from?
11151I think it is more in accordance with your own disposition,smiled the wife,"is it not?"
11151If we think of rest at this early stage in our lives, how will it be when we become thirty or forty years older?
11151Indians? 11151 Is n''t that proof that we''ve attracted attention?"
11151Like Miss Harvey-- good man''s squaw-- t''ink she be good woman?
11151Me honey, is n''t there an airthquake agitatin''this solitude?
11151My quarrel is not with you, I tell you, but with your psalm- singing_ master_--"And ai n''t that_ meself_?
11151Nebber know what he do-- how me know?
11151No, no, no, Harvey; have you not already killed him?
11151Not always, or how could I be an Irishman? 11151 Now, me butternut friend, what''bjections have yees to that?"
11151Sign o''what?
11151Teddy, do n''t you remember day before yesterday when we came out of the Mississippi into this stream, we observed something very similar to this?
11151Teddy, where have you been?
11151Then some one must furnish him with it, and who now can it be?
11151Then why does n''t ye come to hear him preach, ye rose of the wilderness?
11151Thin what does ye mane by talking in that shtyle? 11151 Tim, could n''t yees make the s''arch wid me?"
11151Tired out?
11151Was n''t that about as poor a business, for yees, as this be for me, barring yees was hunting for an old man and I''m hunting for a young woman?
11151Was she a swateheart?
11151Well, At- to- uck, what is the matter now?
11151What be yees waiting for?
11151What can it all mean?
11151What do you mean then?
11151What do you mean, At- to- uck?
11151What do you say, now?
11151What do you wish?
11151What good might result from that?
11151What have you done with her?
11151What if I does lose a few peltries when they''re bringing such a good price down in St. Louey? 11151 What is it ye say, Mister Harvey?"
11151What is it yees have diskivered?
11151What is it?
11151What is up now?
11151What might be the reason for that?
11151What must I do, Cora? 11151 What time might it be jist now?"
11151What''s the matter, Mister Harvey? 11151 When Mister Harvey go to village?"
11151When come back?
11151Where Misser Richter?
11151Where Mr. Harvey go, if not in cabin?
11151Where Ted?
11151Where does yees get the jug?
11151Where has the owld divil carried her?
11151Where is he?
11151Who do you wish to see then?
11151Who knows but Master Harvey has gone to the village, and Miss Cora stands in the door this minute,''xpacting this owld spalpaan?
11151Who may it be then?
11151Why do you come in their neighborhood-- in their country?
11151Why do you think so?
11151Why you not stay with squaw?
11151Wo n''t that spake for itself?
11151Wo n''t you come in and rest yourself until Mr. Richter returns?
11151Would ye have me give up the s''arch altogether?
11151Yer oughter come; and that minds me I''ve never saan ye around the village, for which I axes yees the raison?
11151Yes, my son; do you hear the bell?
11151You are not a Sioux, then?
11151You are perfectly contented-- happy, are you?
11151You give me your promise, then, that ye''ll niver furnish me anither drap?
11151You not ax for jug, eh? 11151 You would not change it for a residence at home with your own people if you could?"
11151_ Me_ make you drink him?
11151''You have treated him ill.''"''That I know I have,''she sobbed,''and how can I do him justice?''
11151An''be what token would they be acquaint with her?"
11151And what father does not hold precisely the same opinion of his young hopeful?
11151And what husband could prevent them?"
11151And who could this enemy be?
11151And ye have n''t caught a glimpse of the gal nor heard nothin''of her?"
11151Are you the person who carried away poor, dear Cora?"
11151Be yees listening, ye riptile?
11151But does your heart tell you you are at peace with Him whom you have offended so grievously?"
11151But s''pose, my friend, you go on this way for a year more-- what then?"
11151Ca n''t I afford to do it, when there''s a gal in the matter?"
11151Can it be?
11151Can you not welcome me?"
11151Did you see him?"
11151Do you hear?".
11151Do you suppose I could have come as near and_ missed_ without doing so on_ purpose_?
11151Does ye take him for a michanic, who goes to work as soon as he swallows his bread and mate?"
11151Does yees consint?''
11151Harvey?"
11151How bees it with yourself, Mistress Cora?"
11151Is it run or fight?"
11151Is n''t it time to bring Dolly home?"
11151Is there anything I can do for you?"
11151Is this you, Brazey Davis?"
11151Let me see, he has been away since morning?"
11151Let me see, you said it war nigh onto three months ago, warn''t it?"
11151Mahogany?"
11151Mister Harvey?"
11151Naught else?
11151On reaching the edge of the Clearing Teddy asked, abruptly:"If the haythen comes back to the cabin while we''s be gone?"
11151S''pose I should git on the trail that is lost, can yer tell me how fur I''d have to foller it?
11151Supposing one to have gazed from this stand- point, what would have been his field of vision?
11151Teddy_ sad_?
11151The Injin''l''git a good start on us, wo n''t he though?"
11151The dull click of the lock reached the ear of the target, who asked, in a low, gruff voice:"Why do_ you_ seek me?
11151The face of the Irishman was as dejected as his own, and the widowed man knew there was scarce need of the question:"Have you heard anything, Teddy?"
11151They were upon the point of landing so as to kindle a fire, when Mr. Richter spoke:"Do you notice that large island in the stream, Cora?
11151This afternoon, an Indian came in the house and threatened the life of both my wife and child--""Where the divil is he?"
11151What could be the object in firing at the missionary, yet taking pains that no harm should be inflicted?
11151What could have been more desirable than to unite with them in a country where whites were so scarce, and almost unknown?
11151What else could I mean?"
11151What is the meaning of this?"
11151What think you, dear wife?"
11151What thus alarmed him?
11151What''s the matter with yees now?"
11151What''s the matter?"
11151What''s- your- name?"
11151Where does yees get the jug?"
11151Where have you concealed yourself?
11151Where is it ye secures the vallyble contents?"
11151Why did n''t ye pause, and sarve me then jist as ye have done?
11151Why did n''t ye stick to it, and jist give me a chance to express meself?
11151Why this untimely pleasantry?"
11151Would you not prefer that as a landing- place?"
11151Yees never did, eh?
11151Yer do n''t s''pose that feller was able to keep paddlin''forever in the river, do yer?
11151You not want him?"
11151[ Illustration:"Harvey Richter-- don''t you know me?"
11151[ Illustration:"Where does yees get the jug?"]
11151_ Is_ it yerself, Mister Harvey, out in these woods, or is it yer ghost on the s''arch for Misthress Cora?
11151but do n''t ye saa those same bushes moving?
11151but do ye_ saa_ him?
11151he asked, steadying himself against a sapling,"or am I standing on a jug?"
11151hear groan?
11151she asked, shaking like a leaf,''and who are yees?''
11151shrieked the gal, as if she''d go down upon the ground,''and how shall I save meself?''
11151what can be the m''aning of that?"
11151where could he obtain it?"
11151yees are gone already, bees you?"
46227Ai n''t you afraid to hunt alone in the woods, when the Indians are making so much trouble?
46227What is to be done with me after we get there?
46227What is your name?
46227He affected to be pleased, and called back, with a laugh,"How are you, friends?
46227Page 61:"rendered the greater?
46227When the sole survivor reached the town, and was asked,"What news?"
46227is it not a sad fact that the forbidden pleasure is the one that tastes the sweeter?
46227who are you?"
42274And many winter moons yet before us? 42274 But how can we make one?
42274Ca n''t you hear it there?
42274Do you think it is sick, or hurt?
42274Have n''t you noticed the trails of the rabbits, hard- packed little paths in the snow, where they travel round through the brush? 42274 How can we do that when, as you say, the pass can not be crossed until summer?"
42274How so? 42274 Oh, why do n''t you burn?"
42274Well, if he came from down there, why do we find his trail to this place coming straight across the valley from the south?
42274What is it?
42274What is the matter with it?
42274What made those tracks?
42274What say you we had best do?
42274When you came up the Big River you saw the lodges of the Earth People? 42274 Where could you find something for us to eat now?"
42274Where do you think he came from?
42274Why ca n''t we go straight south from here until we strike it?
42274Why not?
42274Why so?
42274Why, do n''t you know?
42274With clubs?
42274Yes? 42274 Yes?"
42274Yes?
42274Are we never to eat again?
42274CHAPTER VIII"Where shall we go?"
42274Ca n''t you hear?
42274Did you ever see a wild pig prance out for a fight?
42274Do you see the fresh trails?"
42274How could he be so cruel as to send me far away among strangers?
42274How is it?
42274I could hear my companion sniffing; soon he asked,"Do you smell anything?"
42274In my distress I cried,"What shall I do?
42274Is there any possible way for us to get food this night?"
42274Let them go?"
42274Now that''s fair, is n''t it?"
42274Oh, what shall I-- what can I do to escape?"
42274One little wound in the hand?
42274Shall we go on and take the chances, or turn back to camp?
42274Shall we not need fire of nights to keep us warm?"
42274Was n''t that a fine shot, uncle?"
42274What is the trouble with you?"
42274What material can we get for one unless we kill twenty elk and tan the skins?
42274What was the reason?
42274Where can they be?"
42274Which shall be first?"
42274Why did you stop?
42274Why had Baptiste motioned me to go back, when by doing so I must run right into the Indians?
42274Yes what?
42274You see this trail?
4638How so?
4638About a week later I met Uncle Billy on the street again and said to him,"How is this Uncle Billy, I thought you were going home on the last steamer?"
4638After they parted I approached the one left and said,"Is this Uncle Billy?"
4638But what shall I say of them?
4638He said,"Are you going to sell it?"
4638He stopped and looked at me a minute and then said,"Young man, how deep do you expect to go before you reach bedrock?"
4638I said to him,"How are you fixed, Uncle Billy?"
4638I turned around and went back to the office, to the same counter and clerk, and said to him,"Do you rectify mistakes here?"
4638Mr. Lincoln smilingly asked,"What good would it do for our people to go down to Mexico even if the railroads were built?
4638On the relief of the outer sentinel and his return to camp, Lamalfa issued the challenge which was to repeat three times"Who comes there?"
4638The clerk brought it forward at once and I said,"How much for the deposit?"
4638The two brothers met one day opposite the unfinished building and James said,"Peter why do n''t you go on and finish your building?"
4638Which shall be the balance of power, the first or the last?
45051Am I justly indebted on this journey?
45051At about eight o''clock the brethren were called together and the question asked: shall we go on in the rain or wait until it is fair?
45051But will you take a joke?
45051Did you dance?
45051Did you hoe down all?
45051Did you play cards?
45051Did you play checkers?
45051Did you quarrel with each other and threaten each other?
45051Did you swear?
45051Did you use profane language?
45051Do n''t you know it?
45051How would you feel?
45051Last winter when we had our seasons of recreation in the council house, I went forth in the dance frequently, but did my mind run on it?
45051Now what have I done for Brother Kimball?
45051Suppose the angels were witnessing the hoe down the other evening, and listening to the haw haws the other evening, would they not be ashamed of it?
45051We are beyond their grasp, and what has the devil now to work upon?
45051Well, then, why do n''t you try to put it down?
45051What of the personal characteristics of our subject?
45051What would you say for yourselves?
45051Would you not want to go and hide up?
13135''Are you drunk, or crazy?'' 13135 ''Charming, is n''t it?''
13135''Do you know where the girl is?'' 13135 ''Do you really think you had ought to play this?
13135''Dumb, eh?'' 13135 ''Has he been sick?''
13135''He drummed on the table for a long time, and then says, sort of immaterial and irreverent,''You''re a pretty good mule puncher, eh?'' 13135 ''Matter?
13135''Maybe you''ve heard tell of the fight there when the Apaches were up? 13135 ''Our what?''
13135''Ow you''goin''stan''thees trip, eh? 13135 ''So you found your voice, did you?''
13135''What about the other one?'' 13135 ''What can you do?''
13135''What cause?'' 13135 ''What does this mean?''
13135''What''s the matter with him?'' 13135 ''What''s your trouble?''
13135''What?'' 13135 ''What?''
13135''Who are you?'' 13135 ''Who''s here?''
13135''Why did I write that letter?'' 13135 ''Will you ever go?''
13135''You lap it up like a man,''says I,''like a cowman-- full growed-- ever been West?'' 13135 ''You would n''t like me to take you ridin''perhaps?''
13135Ai n''t I right, Joe?
13135Are n''t you coming, too?
13135Blood disease, eh?
13135But you?
13135Ca n''t you see? 13135 D''ye mind the time''Skagway''Bennet died?
13135Did n''t hear nothing of the weddin''over at Los Huecos, did ye?
13135Did you ever see a six- day race? 13135 Do n''t you never read the papers?"
13135God, she was grand-- but him? 13135 Got another outfit here, have n''t you?"
13135Great God, are you a murderer? 13135 He''s badly frozen,"whispered Captain,"can we save him?"
13135Hello, Annie,says I, clawing the ice out of my whiskers;"finding plenty of claims down here to relocate?"
13135How can we, with the place guarded?
13135How far is it to the Crooked River Road House?
13135I take advantage of my skirts, do I? 13135 I''ve got it?
13135Is it true that no man has ever reached them?
13135Jesse one man, hey? 13135 Know her, Miss?
13135Like it, do ye?
13135Madam,says I, and somehow the word did n''t seem out of place any more--"Madam, why do you want to avoid this party?"
13135Oh, ai n''t ye?
13135Quit that talk, will you?
13135Reach''em? 13135 Right of sanctuary, eh?
13135Save''em?
13135Shoot, why do n''t you, and end it? 13135 That was the fall of the Fryin''Pan strike-- do you mind it?
13135That''s why you left the Indian there when we came away, eh? 13135 Then, Morrow resumes,''You''ll be in Denver this fall, Struthers, eh?
13135They shall be in h---- before I help them, the pigs, but you-- ah, you have been my friends, yes?
13135Two trips, eh?
13135Vat''s the mattaire? 13135 Vat''s the mattaire?"
13135Was I right in supposin''that something amused you?
13135Wat''s the mattaire?
13135We must make it to- morrow or go hungry, eh? 13135 What d''ye say, Klusky?"
13135What do you mean?
13135What does it mean, George?
13135What is he doing there?
13135What name? 13135 What''d I tell you?
13135What''d you do?
13135What''s a friend? 13135 What''s that?
13135What''s that?
13135What''s the use of buttin''in where ye ai n''t wanted? 13135 What''s up?"
13135Where are your windows and ventilators?
13135Where is George?''
13135Who is it?
13135Who is she?
13135Who says so?
13135Who will go with me? 13135 Whose goin''to save''em?
13135Why did n''t ye tell me?
13135Why did you do that?
13135Will this stove burn green willow tops?
13135Would n''t that rope ye? 13135 You know her, do n''t you?"
13135You say you have grub cached at the old Indian hut on the Good Hope?
13135You von''t leave me, Mistaire Captain? 13135 You''ve got the nerve, George, and you''ll go with me, wo n''t you?"
13135''Are you married, pardner?''
13135''Collins what d''ye say if we tow the"Detroit"out?
13135''Do ye want her now?''
13135''Do you know who you''re drinkin''with this time, hey?''
13135''How can I do it?''
13135''What do you mean by breaking into my office?
13135''What does it take to liquidate an assault on a labour leader?''
13135--"In this storm?"
13135Ai n''t ever seen her?
13135Ai n''t that a pleasin''conceit?
13135Ai n''t that right?"
13135Ai n''t there half a man among you?"
13135Are we in time for supper?
13135Are you plumb daffy?
13135Are you sure you do n''t need more help gettin''him home?
13135As we went in, he continued:"You say you had a hard time gettin''your prisoner?
13135Badrich?''
13135Big?
13135But how shall it be, eh?
13135But that''s the worst you can say, is n''t it?
13135But why could n''t he die?
13135Ca n''t you see we''re freezing?"
13135Can you run an engine?
13135Captain''s expression remained unchanged and, gradually slackening his grip, the sailor roughly inquired:"Where''d you come from?"
13135Cold?
13135Come, now, what is the matter?''
13135Cool off-- see?"
13135Do you mean to say that you let those poor devils die like rats while you had potatoes in your cabin, fresh ones?
13135Does it occur to you how we''re going to get out?"
13135Ever have your mother talk to you about duty?
13135Finally she says, kind of slow and quiet:"Who knows where the''Cut- off''starts?"
13135Go to her?
13135Good thing for make fire queeck, eh?"
13135Guess ye do n''t know who I am, do ye?
13135Has it had its pap to- night?
13135He took in the line up at a sweep of his lamps:"''Any of you gentlemen got ideas on the subject?''
13135He''s a cripple now, eh?"
13135He''s a squaw- man and sort of a bully-- see?
13135Her silence hurt him the worst, of course; but what could he do?
13135Hey?
13135Him that''s been elected on purpose to round up the Tremper gang, hey?
13135How are mine?"
13135How''s my gums look tonight?"
13135How''s that?"
13135I give''em good advice, an''what''d I get?
13135I wonder who they are?"
13135I''ll bet you''re one of them eddicated dudes, too, ai n''t you?
13135I''m a square woman-- you know I am, do n''t you, boys?"
13135I''m the boss carpenter of the Arctic and I own this camp; do n''t I, Slim?
13135I''m--""Who is this man, Ross?"
13135I''spose you''re going to jump some of our ground, hey?
13135I''ve worked like a man, suffered like a man--""Why do n''t ye''lose like a man?"
13135If she do n''t like some other feller better while you''re gone, what''re you scared about?''
13135If we had n''t lost our grub when the whale- boat upset, eh?
13135It''s Father Orloff, is it?
13135It''s help ye want, is it?
13135Look at these, and you dare to ask me why I left him?''
13135Martin?''
13135Me?"
13135Mebbe you hear''bout Pierre''Feroce''sometime, eh?"
13135Noting his gravity, George questioned:"Well, how''s Menard?"
13135Now, what had he been doing to get into such a fix?
13135Please you von''t go avay?"
13135See''i m get red?"
13135Shall I call the police?''
13135She stood blinking at us, coming from the bright light outside, as cute as a new faro box-- then:"Can you tell me where Mrs. Bradshaw lives?
13135She''ll take the heducate man for stan''the col'', eh?
13135She''s comin''on-- what''s the matter, Annie-- you ai n''t sore at me effeminatin''you by the gentle name of female, are you?"
13135So these were the Tremper boys, eh?
13135So you''re the fellow she gave up her art for?
13135Strutting to the new- comer, he glared insolently up into his smiling face,"What are ye laughin''at, ye shavetail?"
13135THE COLONEL AND THE HORSE- THIEF Those marks on my arm?
13135Takin''chances?
13135The government was aimin''to start a post there last fall, was n''t it?
13135This is my camp-- see?
13135Up against it?
13135Vat have I got?"
13135Vy do you make like that, eh?
13135What are you doing?
13135What are you talking about?
13135What d''ye think of that idea, fellers?
13135What do ye want?''
13135What in---- ails ye?"
13135What made him hang on so?
13135What made him rouse one with his awful laughter?
13135What name, Dutch?
13135What name?"
13135What would you do?''
13135What''d that daffy doctor do?
13135What''s he wanted for?"
13135What''s that got to do with it?
13135What''s that?"
13135What''s the matter here?"
13135What?
13135Who are you, you mangy''malamoot,''to criticise a lady?
13135Who told you all that?''
13135Who was it?
13135Who''d a thought them durned Indians was dishonest enough fer a trick like that?"
13135Who''s his antagonist?"
13135Who''s your prisoner?"
13135Whose weddin''?"
13135Why could n''t you fight me alone, in the daylight, like a man?"
13135Why did n''t I let the kid kill him?''
13135Why did n''t the Jew die so he could flee back?
13135Will he fight?
13135Will he fight?
13135Ye can get them any place, but where can ye find another enemy like that man?"
13135Yes?
13135You heard what he said, did n''t ye?
13135You know how an Indian loves to run horses?
13135You might substitute another face on my shoulders; that can be done, ca n''t it?''
13135You wo n''t back out, eh?''"
13135You''re freezin''eh?
13135You''re too high- toned to drink with us, are you?
13135eh?''
13135says I,"an''what''s she doin''out here on the trail?"
13135what''re you goin''to do now you''re here?"
14881''If ye love them that love you, what thank have ye?'' 14881 ''Nevertheless?''"
14881A chief should conquer himself first; obey the will of the Great Manitou-- do you see?
14881Always?
14881An empire to be lost or won? 14881 An empire to be lost or won?
14881And when the music played?
14881Any bear? 14881 Any bear?"
14881Any buffalo-- buffalo? 14881 Any buffalo?"
14881Are we not brothers, then; Shall we not meet again-- Here, here,_ here_? 14881 Boston tilicum, who killed the animal?"
14881But what do you want it for?
14881But what if the mother- bear should come after it?
14881But, mother, do n''t you love_ the_ Master, and wo n''t you be friendly and forgiving to Benjamin, for_ his_ sake? 14881 But, mother, why did you go away-- why did you come to the lodge?"
14881Can you tell me what that is?
14881Did he? 14881 Did you hear that?"
14881Did you? 14881 Do what, Benjamin?"
14881Do you suppose that the cry has had anything to do with the death of Mr. Bonney''s cattle?
14881Dreaming?
14881Father Lee,said Mrs. Woods,"can I trust my eyes!--come again to see me, away out here in the timber?
14881Fiddling, Gretchen-- fiddling in the shadow of death? 14881 Gretchen, are you sure?
14881Gretchen, did you see all that? 14881 Gretchen, do n''t you think that the schoolmaster is a good man?"
14881Gretchen,she said,"what do you think I have seen?"
14881Gretchen?
14881Has he not been good?
14881Have you any big meat to- day?
14881He did, did he?
14881He leads them?
14881He will lead me?
14881Help you, what doin''?
14881How do you know?
14881How?
14881How?
14881I good to her, make her good? 14881 I?"
14881Injuns? 14881 Is Oregon worth saving?"
14881Is it they who have bewitched you?
14881It is what we want to be that we shall be one day; do n''t you think so? 14881 It was you?"
14881Look yonder-- what for? 14881 May I go see?"
14881Mother, what is that?
14881My bow-- don''t you see?
14881My boy?
14881My fingers-- so?
14881My head--_here_?
14881My heart?
14881No father?
14881Not to- day?
14881O Mr. Mann, I am all alone in the world, and what am I goin''to do? 14881 Oh, mother, I can hardly look at it-- isn''t it splendid?
14881Riding out with an Injun, Gretchen, are you? 14881 She wah- wah?"
14881So you saw me?
14881Teach me how to club her? 14881 The braves?"
14881The strings?
14881Then why do the white people themselves have the disease?
14881Then why is n''t_ she_ good? 14881 Umatilla, will you not honor us with a visit this morning?"
14881Was n''t it mysterious? 14881 What are we to do, Gretchen?"
14881What are you going to do with it?
14881What can I do for you?
14881What can he want of me?
14881What did you think was goin''to become of me? 14881 What do you do in your own country in such cases as this?"
14881What do you mean?
14881What do you mean?
14881What for?
14881What harm it do?
14881What have you been doing to my boy?
14881What is it, Marlowe Mann?
14881What kind of doings are these, I would like to know?
14881What now?
14881What wonderful tune is it, madam?
14881What, Boston tilicum?
14881What, mother?
14881What, mother?
14881What, mother?
14881What-- books?
14881What?
14881What?
14881What_ does_ that mean?
14881Where did you get that?
14881Where do they go?
14881Where is he now?
14881Where?
14881Where?
14881Who?
14881Why do you ask for a tax?
14881Why do you like the violin so much?
14881Why is the fountain troubled?
14881Why, Father Lee, what has changed your mind? 14881 Why, what is that?"
14881Why?
14881Why?
14881Yes, boy, do you see?
14881Yes, but how can we know his will?
14881Yes, mother, but--"And do n''t I let you play the violin, which the Methody elder did n''t much approve of?
14881You do not intend to go in that habit to the reception?
14881You understand English?
14881You wah- wah?
14881You?
14881_ Boston tilicum_, what do you say?
14881A black she- bear came out of the woods, and, seeing the cub, stood up on her haunches in surprise and seemed to say,"How came you here?"
14881Accordingly, one morning, after he had been capering on deck and blowing a rude whistle, he said to the captain:"When do you intend to sail?"
14881All men should be brothers-- see?"
14881And why does the White Chief send among you Death, the robber, with his poison?
14881Are anvils going to fly?
14881Are you sure?"
14881As the two came in sight of the house, Mrs. Woods caught Gretchen by the arm and said:"What''s_ them_?"
14881Boston tilicum, I am going to die; I am going away like my brothers-- where?"
14881But how could I begin?
14881But is it right to leave you, mother?"
14881But what made it beautiful?"
14881But what put that thought into your head?"
14881Can I do anything for you?
14881Can I leave thee, Far in heathen lands to dwell?"
14881Can I speak with you a minute in private?"
14881Did n''t I give you a good home in Lynn after your father and mother died?
14881Did n''t I nurse you through the fever?
14881Did n''t I send for you to come way out here with the immigrants, and did you ever find a better friend in the world than I have been to you?"
14881Did you hear anything in the timber last night?"
14881Do n''t you feel it?"
14881Do n''t you long for it?
14881Do n''t you pity me?"
14881Do you hear?
14881Do you see?"
14881Do you see?"
14881Do you see?"
14881Do you see?"
14881Do you suppose that I could become a teacher among the Indians like Mrs. Spaulding?
14881Do you think that the spirit has eyes, and that they see true?
14881Do you understand?
14881Do you understand?"
14881Gretchen, what shall we do?"
14881Had she been led here to help in some future mission to the Indian race?
14881Have n''t I always been good to you?
14881Have n''t you any eyes?
14881Have you heard it, Gretchen?"
14881He rapped a loud, hard rap, and said, in a sturdy tone:"May I come in?"
14881He went to him immediately after the opening exercises, and said:"You have n''t spoken to me this morning; what troubles you?"
14881How is the mission at the Dalles?"
14881How would her real parents have felt had they known that she would have found a home here in the wilderness?
14881I can feel''em-- can''t you?
14881I want you to teach him like a father-- not you understand?"
14881If I were to study hard, would you help me to find such a place in life?"
14881If an Injun will give up his revenge, an''it''s his natur'', ought not I to give up my tongue?
14881In one of these moments of consciousness he asked of Gretchen:"Where is Boston tilicum?"
14881Is there no way to stop them?"
14881Lost your cattle, boy?
14881Master Mann noticed these sudden changes of mood, and he once said to him:"What makes you turn sad, Benjamin?"
14881Now, do you want to know why I let her bring her violin?
14881One of the first questions asked by the old chief was,"Is Eagle''s Plume( Benjamin) brave?"
14881She good to me make me good?
14881That is the kind of propriety that they teach out in these parts, is it?
14881The master welcomed him cordially and courteously, and said:"This is Mr. Meek, I believe?"
14881The waiter rolled up his eyes and said,"Sir?"
14881Then I did not bring you away out here for nothing, did I?
14881They did not see me-- did they?"
14881Was it for this that he had braved The warring storms of mount and sky?
14881Was n''t I a mother to you?
14881What are they there for?"
14881What difference does it make whether a word rhymes with one word or another?"
14881What do you mean?
14881What do you think?"
14881What had happened?
14881What is it you see?"
14881What me do?
14881What put that into your simple head?
14881What shall we do?
14881What should she say?
14881What taught the honks where to go?"
14881What was he going to do?
14881What was that low music I hear?
14881What would be the fate of this boy?
14881Where did you come from?
14881Where did you come from?"
14881Where is the white girl?"
14881Who are the biters?
14881Who knows?
14881Who sends Death among you?
14881Who, who will ride from Walla- Walla, Four thousand miles, for Oregon?
14881Why are they there?
14881Why had Providence led her steps here?
14881Will you accept it?"
14881Will you become my slave and fight for me?''
14881Will you let me have her?
14881Will you obey me?
14881Will you obey me?
14881Will you take him to your school lodge?"
14881Will you teach him to be a good chief?
14881Will you-- will you play-- play that tin- tin at Potlatch under the big moon?"
14881Would it be repeated?
14881Would she go back again?
14881You a teacher?
14881You ai n''t going to take that young Injun into your school, are you?
14881You felt good when I was kind to you?"
14881You understand?"
14881You will be a friend to me, wo n''t you?"
14881You will do the best you can for Gretchen, wo n''t you?"
14881You will?"
14881You?
14881_ But_--your tongue?"
14881asked The treaty- makers from the coast; And him the Church with questions tasked, And said,"Why did you leave your post?"
14881bear?
14881yes, we brothers be; Will you not answer me-- Here, here,_ here_?"
23026''Show him mercy, and mercy shall be shown unto you when you need it;''so what could I do but let him up?
23026''Spose, then, that I try it to the right and Simon to the left;''spose that each of us takes two persons with him and that they are females?
23026A little harder, Jim,called the missionary"shall I lend a hand?"
23026Am dis de flatboat, and am I in de cellar ob it?
23026And did yo''go right''mong de heathen all alone by yo''self?
23026And he will do so, but what shall he tell the white hunter when he asks whether Wa- on- mon will meet him again and prove he is not afraid?
23026And if I win?
23026And if they ca n''t pick us all off, keep us here till we''re starved out?
23026And if you should get through the lines with''em?
23026And the Indians have been deceived as to our purpose?
23026And the little one asleep there?
23026And the rifles of the Shawanoes have done grievous harm among the pale- faces?
23026And then what will our folks do?
23026And then?
23026And what becomes ob dat?
23026And what is that?
23026And when he returns?
23026And when is that likely to be?
23026And why does he wish to speak to Wa- on- mon?
23026And why does the missionary come to the camp of Wa- on- mon? 23026 And why?
23026And you evened up matters with The Panther?
23026And you?
23026Are the folks coming up the river towards us?
23026Are you hit?
23026But Wa- on- mon once said he was the friend of the missionary; why does he say now that he is an enemy?
23026But how is that to be done? 23026 But how long is it to last?"
23026But suppose my brother, the mighty Wa- on- mon, does not come back?
23026But what about The Panther?
23026But what''s become of The Panther?
23026But which one? 23026 But why is it you are at rest?"
23026But,interposed Hastings, with a nervousness he could not conceal,"ca n''t me and Boone be of help to you?"
23026But-- but,pleaded the distressed girl,"tell father and George to be careful, wo n''t you, please?"
23026Ca n''t you get a candle?
23026Can it be possible? 23026 Can not the missionary speak with a single tongue?
23026Dan''l,returned Kenton, sharply,"did you ever see a ghost?"
23026Did he do so yesterday?
23026Did he not fight against the Shawanoes this night? 23026 Did he say anything?"
23026Did n''t I just tole you dat nuffin did n''t happen?
23026Did you bring him back with you?
23026Did you come yourself, or were you sent ahead to see us?
23026Do n''t you know?
23026Do yo''know dat debbil?
23026Do you expect to use any signallin''for me?
23026Does he not always speak with a single tongue?
23026Does he think the white hunter will spare him? 23026 Does the white hunter think Wa- on- mon is afraid to meet him in the depths of the wood, where no eye but that of the Great Spirit shall see them?"
23026Good evening,he called, nodding his head in salutation;"may I come aboard?"
23026Haben''t I jes''told yo''? 23026 Has my brother seen the white hunter?"
23026Have n''t you any other news for us?
23026Have you any idea where he is?
23026He will not run away?
23026Heard me speak? 23026 Hello, Mr. Kenton, dat''s yo''self, am it?"
23026How are you going to get them women and two children across the river? 23026 How did you make out?"
23026How far off is it?
23026How long after we make our pause will they suspect the truth?
23026How many of the varmints are playing the spy?
23026How many of the varmints are there?
23026How soon?
23026How was it you tried to prevent it?
23026How?
23026How?
23026I say, gal, where be you?
23026I''m all right,mumbled Jim,"fetch on( hic) your rattler; let''em bite-- who cares?
23026I''s afeard dat somethin''may happen to Mr. Kenton, and if it does and he ca n''t get back, nor me neither, what''s goin''to become of de folks? 23026 I, I think I''ve got my bearings; the river off here to the left is how fur away?"
23026If that is the case, how can we reach it from the block- house?
23026Is his heart glad that Wa- on- mon will meet him?
23026Is that probable?
23026Is that you, Dan''l?
23026Is that you, Jethro?
23026It may make you wealthy, George; but how can it help me?
23026Marse George,said Jethro,"whar does dis riber flow?"
23026No danger of his flunking, I hope, parson?
23026No one can be more so; I left the camp to hunt for you; do you know of that rock which lies just above the gulch, on this side of the river? 23026 Not the slightest; but, Simon, may I say one word?"
23026Of course, you had n''t any chance of getting it back again, or you''d done it?
23026Shall I go wid yo''to see yo''do n''t get hurt?
23026Suppose Wa- on- mon does not come back?
23026Suppose anything happens to him and Boone?
23026Suppose,said Mr. Ashbridge, in a tremulous voice,"she is not spared to be taken into camp?"
23026Sure Mr. Boone wo n''t feel bad if I do n''t go wid him?
23026Sure you was n''t nowhere near us?
23026That being admitted,said Altman,"why would it not be wise to cross the river at this point, or make the rest of the journey through the Ohio woods?
23026That being so,continued Kenton,"what''s the news you brought?"
23026That''s the man who put up the cabin a mile back down the river?
23026The missionary thanks Wa- on- mon-- may he call him his brother?
23026Then what will the missionary do?
23026Then why, Shawanoe, did you run away when a short time since you promised to meet me by the splintered tree near the clearing?
23026There ai n''t no speck of doubt about it-- helloa, who''s this?
23026Wal, did n''t yo''obstrust them?
23026What are you waiting for?
23026What caused you to make this stop, Weber?
23026What de mischief am dat?
23026What did the missionary mean by tellin''me a brave man is merciful? 23026 What do you think of things?"
23026What does he wish to say?
23026What good does wishing do?
23026What is it, Kenton? 23026 What is the prayer?"
23026What is to be done?
23026What is your name, please?
23026What is your news?
23026What trouble would it be to tote''em over?
23026What was it?
23026What will they suspect, then, if we stop here?
23026What yo''want to cross de riber fur?
23026What''s that for?
23026What''s that? 23026 What''s that?"
23026What''s the cause of that?
23026What''s the matter with that?
23026What''s the matter? 23026 What''s the matter?"
23026What''s the use, Jim?
23026When was that?
23026Where are they?
23026Where can he be?
23026Where is Mabel? 23026 Where is it?
23026Where is papa? 23026 Where was you when The Panther and me was having our little argyment?"
23026Where? 23026 Who am yo''?
23026Who comes he to see?
23026Who dar?
23026Who dar?
23026Who has charge of''em, Daniel?
23026Who is that man?
23026Whose voice was it, then?
23026Why did n''t you do it? 23026 Why did not the white dogs all come ashore and chase the Shawanoes?"
23026Why do n''t dey be gemmen?
23026Why do you express that doubt, when it has been a good many years since the people in our old homes have suffered from the Indians?
23026Why does n''t General Washington send some one who knows how to fight the Indians, and with men enough to whip them?
23026Why does the missionary come to the camp of Wa- on- mon when more than one of the Shawanoes have fallen by the rifles of the pale- faces?
23026Why not go back for that?
23026Why not go there at once, without stopping at the block- house?
23026Why not?
23026Why?
23026Will he be there when the sun appears above the tree- tops?
23026Would n''t the chief like to lay hands on him?
23026Would you like to do it?
23026Yo''tole me not to speak or move or breve; if I do n''t speak or move, ca n''t you let up on de breving bus''ness? 23026 You do n''t think the gal was mistook?"
23026You remember t''other flatboat,said Kenton, partially recovering his self- mastery,"the one the MacDougalls was on, and they was all killed?"
23026You was n''t at the block- house, Dan''l, when the flatboat stopped there?
23026''Sposen he had n''t done so, what would hab come of me?
23026Am I wrong in that hope, dearest?"
23026Am yo''name Girty?"
23026And what did I say?"
23026And why did they not do so?
23026But dare lie hope that such an opportunity would be presented to him?
23026Can it be that Simon underestimates the prowess of Wa- on- mon?
23026Can you tell me how the thing is to be done, Dan''l?"
23026Could he believe his eyes?
23026Did he not help the pale face dogs to flee across the river in the boat?"
23026Does he come to seek Wa- on- mon alone?"
23026Have n''t heard anything of Boone since I left you?"
23026He was silent a minute, and replied by means of a pointed question himself:"Is the child on the tree the child of the missionary?"
23026Holding himself somewhat unsteadily, he looked around in the gloom at his elder escort, and demanded:"Where going?"
23026Howsumever,"added the elder ranger,"what''s snakes got to do with the bus''ness afore us?"
23026I wonder whether he had any talk with The Panther?
23026If that''s so, what''s to hinder two or three doing it, by treading on each other''s heels?"
23026It was evident the youth felt quite proud of his exploits, and who can blame him?
23026Kenton?"
23026Kenton?"
23026Kenton?"
23026Kenton?"
23026Nothing has happened to any of''em?"
23026Now, to come down to the point, when we halt near the gulch will our position be such that we can make a good defence against an attack?"
23026Oh, where is she?"
23026Shall I tell the white hunter that these are the words of Wa- on- mon?"
23026Should not the missionary feel thus toward those whom the Great Spirit is pleased to make white?"
23026Starting up, the missionary looked around and inquired:"What has become of the canoe Jethro and I brought with us?"
23026Suppose he fails in both instances-- what then?"
23026Suppose we see nothing of Boone or Kenton again?"
23026Suppressing all evidence of emotion, Finley asked:"What are the wishes of my brother, the mighty Wa- on- mon?"
23026Then Kenton asked, in his guarded undertone:"What do you make of it, Dan''l?"
23026What better chance could they ask?"
23026What can it be?"
23026What do you think the varmints mean to do?"
23026What does it look like?"
23026What has become of Mabel?
23026What has happened?"
23026What more inviting opening could the crouching Shawanoes ask than was here presented to them?
23026What task could be more hopeless?
23026What was to prevent the complete success of the plan?
23026What''s that?"
23026Why not swathe himself in these instead of using the awkward and cumbersome box?
23026called Hastings, who had hastened to return upon hearing his wild shout;"he''s gone under; did he bite you?"
23026exclaimed the chieftain;"how many of them have fallen?"
23026for how long should this be said of them?
23026he asked himself,"or talk in American, so dat anoder gemmen can understand''em?
23026he exclaimed, leaping from the floor in exultation;"why did n''t I tink ob it afore?
23026how''s dat?"
23026muttered the angry Kenton,"but what can have become of the younker?"
23026where is mamma?"
23026who''s this?"
46513Do n''t you want to learn the trade?
46513Besides, was not the rich valley of the Connecticut a better place for homes than the rocky and barren hills around Boston?
46513But what is that sound--_click_,_ click_,_ click_--that comes from the distance?
46513Does the imagination of the epicure revolt at the suggestion of so rude a dish?
46513How could it be otherwise?
46513In asking where they were from we generally asked,"What are you?"
46513Let us ask, What was the West?
46513Pioneer mining life-- what was it?
46513The ranchman does not ask his guests if they would like to go to bed; he says:"Well, gents, are you ready to spread your blankets?"
46513Thus it came that the American genius broke entirely away from salt- water traditions, asked no longer"What cheer?"
46513WHAT WAS THAT WEST?
46513WHAT WAS THE WEST AT THIS TIME OF DOWN- STREAM?
46513WHAT, THEN, WAS THE FIRST TRANSPORTATION OF THE WEST?
46513What caused its growth and its changes?
46513What future is there for the West to- day?
46513What time had folk like these for powder- puff or ruffle, for fan or jeweled snuff- box?
46513What was the Western man, and why did his character become what it was?
46513Where is the money coming from?"
46513Why?
46513You see that mesquit- tree over there?
40731''What is that?'' 40731 How do you like hoofing it?"
40731Miss what?
40731Not his is the bone they are fighting for, And why should my dog sail in, With nothing to gain but a certain chance To lose his own precious skin? 40731 Well, uncle, how far is it ten miles down the road from here?"
40731What are you about, Sal?
40731What are you doing?
40731Would you have given me no chance for life,I replied,"in case the battle had gone in your favor?"
40731108 Measuring an Alligator 125 General Custer at the Close of the War-- Aged 25 168"Stand there, cowards, will you, and see an old man robbed?"
40731And what do you think those scamps did?
40731But finding our boy in the wrong, he arraigned him, and began,''Did you strike Jake with malice aforethought?''
40731But lightning"murders sleep"with me, and, consequently, he was awakened by a conjugal joggle, and on asking,"What is it?"
40731But who would have thought that the stream would have risen around the little knoll as it did?
40731Do n''t I know what I''ve been through to gain my victory?
40731Eliza, in her own quaint way, is saying to me now:"Do you mind, Miss Libbie, how me and you got J---- his parole?
40731For where will we get another?"
40731He often said:"Shall we not stop in Detroit a day or two, Libbie, till you get the tired look out of your face?
40731He would say,''What you two conspirin''up now?
40731How could it be otherwise to a boy who, five brief years before, was a beardless youth with no apparent future before him?
40731How long am I to contend with this?''
40731How many apple- dumplin''s and biscuit did they get this time?''
40731I asked what was the matter-- did he have any grudge or hatred for the man?
40731I could not help telling the sergeant this, and he yielded to my entreaties-- for what soldier ever refused our appeals?
40731I exclaimed in horror,"Another man drowned?
40731I often think, Who among our friends pleases us on all occasions?
40731I only remember one,"What does a regiment of cavalry weigh?"
40731I told him Eliza; and he says, looking me all over fust,''Well, Eliza, would you like to cum and live with me?''
40731I would say, when I saw him lookin''at the little path in the weeds,''Well, what is it, Ginnel?''
40731In a pine forest, dark and thick with fallen trees, what good did one tallow dip do in the hasty search we made?
40731Is he not a statesman as well as a soldier?
40731Miss Libbie, you would n''t have me to do it, would you?
40731Oh, Libbie, do you think I lie as flat to the ground as you do?"
40731One of them would speak up the minute they saw me, and say,''Eliza, you hain''t got no hot biscuit, have you?''
40731Out of the dark my husband''s voice came cheerily, as if he were riding in a path of sunshine:"Are you all right?"
40731She asked her usual question,"Did I come way off down in this here no''count country to wash white counterpanes for dogs?"
40731She still persisted, saying,"What if we should reach a fort, and I was obliged to appear in the gown I now wear?"
40731The anxious, unhappy creature beside me said, gently, in the small hours,"Libbie, are you awake?"
40731Then the General tapered off his aggravating threats, and said,"Well, come, come, come, father, why do n''t you eat your dinner?"
40731This news is quite unexpected,"and so on, or"When, may I inquire, did you learn this?"
40731Und dey singed songs dill py and py one of de ladies say:''Ish any podies here ash know de crate pallad of"Hans Breitmann''s Barty?"''
40731Was there room for a thought, save one of devout thankfulness, and such happiness as I find no words to describe?
40731We were both much moved when, after asking us questions, she said to me,"And, Missey, is it really true that I is free?"
40731Well, whom do you think we have found down here, but the old Colonel Groome who distinguished himself that day?
40731What can I say in admiration of the pluck of those Western men?
40731What did earth hold for us greater than what we then had?
40731What had I to ask more?
40731What shall we do?"
40731What trees that grow Give such sweet impunity?"
40731What would your mother Custer think of you now?"
40731When I returned I asked anxiously,"Did any one speak to you, Eliza?"
40731When at last I heard he had been given release and slept the blessed sleep, what word of sorrow could be framed?
40731When we were at home in our own room, if I asked him, blazing anew with wrath at such a stab, how he kept his temper, he replied,"Why notice it?
40731While the weather remained good, this was a very comfortable camp for us-- but when, in Kansas, do the elements continue quiet for twenty- four hours?
40731Who could help being grieved for a man so frank and humble over his failings?
40731Who keeps in front in our country''s progress as does this war hero?
40731With a"do you suppose the mate cares for one darkey more or less?"
40731With complaining tones she said,"Miss Libbie, ai n''t you goin''to do no sewin''for me at all?

40731and if you had studied up anything that they could do for you?
40731bit you whar?''
40731but the Americans are a brave people,"the poor, frightened woman clung to me and whispered,"Miss Libbie, could n''t we get down anyway?
40731do you hear_ that_, Miss Libbie?
40731how I used to feel when my husband''s morning duties at the office were over, and he walked the floor of our room, saying,"Libbie, what shall I do?"
40731how can you speak so irreverently of death?"
40731joined the doe- boys, eh?"
40731meaning, When shall we find a creek on which to camp?
40731stand there, cowards, will you, and see an old man robbed?''
40731what am dat?"
40731what shall we do?
40731what_ have_ you done with Libbie''s transparent skin?''
40731when I got better, did n''t he go and say I was playin''off on him, just to get a big drink of whiskey?
30335All here?
30335And how was it that you failed?
30335And shall Rosa and I wait here till you come back?
30335And the traitor Lena- Wingo, what shall be done with him?
30335And why so?
30335And you are willing to stay here a couple of hours while we sleep?
30335And you want me to go with you?
30335Any trouble in getting there?
30335Are they Iroquois and white folks that are fighting?
30335Are you alone?
30335Are you satisfied to trust yourself in such a craft?
30335Are you searching for them?
30335As dark as a wolf''s mouth, I suppose?
30335But do n''t you suppose he was set up to do it?
30335But how did you manage for food?
30335But how did you manage to keep clear of the Indians?
30335But suppose some of them come down upon us, Jack?
30335But what for?
30335But why speak of waiting a month before they can be taken, when thirst and starvation will bring them to terms in a couple of days at the most?
30335Climb up among those branches; what better outlook can one ask than he can get among those limbs?
30335Did you find anything of him?
30335Did you hit him?
30335Did you see Colonel Butler and his party?
30335Did you see them?
30335Do I know where a boat is?
30335Do not any of these Iroquois know where the place is?
30335Do you hear it now?
30335Do you know whether there are any more Indians in this neighborhood?
30335Do you mean that we are to crouch behind some of these stones, just as you did behind the rock, when you found I was looking at you?
30335Do you think of anything more?
30335Do you think they know where we are?
30335Has not Lena- Wingo proved himself able to provide us with all we want in the way of food?
30335Have n''t I been wanting you to go with me ever since I stopped and found in what trouble you were? 30335 Have n''t you heard the sounds?"
30335Have you any left?
30335Have you ever seen Washington?
30335How are we to do it?
30335How came the provisions in that place?
30335How came you to find it when it is so well concealed?
30335How do you know that?
30335How far off were they?
30335How is it you did n''t recognize me when you saw me in the tree?
30335How is it, Ned? 30335 How is it, too, that you are abroad at this time, when the Indians and Tories are playing havoc in the valley?"
30335How long before they will be here again?
30335How should Magawan know?
30335I am glad to hear that, for it has many advantages-- but why talk of those things now?
30335I found that out long ago, but you do n''t know where he has gone?
30335I say, how are ye all?
30335I should like to know why you and he went off in that mysterious fashion a short time ago?
30335I suppose you are acquainted with it all?
30335If they ca n''t stop us,said Rosa,"what, then, is the use of acting as though they had done so?"
30335In which direction is this last one that Rosa noticed, and which I also hear?
30335In which way?
30335Is that all?
30335Is that the case?
30335Is that true?
30335Is the interior comfortable?
30335Is your gun loaded?
30335It is strange that you should be the only one to notice it,she continued;"are you sure that you were n''t mistaken?"
30335It will, eh?
30335Most certainly it would; and why did you fail?
30335Not unless you would like to go over them, but let me know what it was that_ caused_ him to speak in that style?
30335Of course we did,answered Ned,"and what did it mean?"
30335Rosa,said Jo, with a meaning grin,"do you feel as though you can do justice to a lunch?"
30335See them? 30335 Suppose Lena- Wingo does n''t find another canoe?"
30335That was you, then, who picked off Worrell?
30335That, I suppose, is where you have met us, also?
30335Then I take it you''re dodging the same parties that I am?
30335Then why can we not make the same use of it?
30335Wall, how are ye all?
30335Was that you who fired off your gun a little while ago?
30335Was your second shot sent after another wild animal?
30335Well, did he find it?
30335Well, did you get any food?
30335Well, now you are here,said Worrell, as Ned Clinton came back from where Rosa was reclining,"how do you mean to pass the time?"
30335Well, what did they say?
30335Well, what do you want?
30335Well, what was it?
30335Wh- wh- what do yo- yo- you want?
30335What are you talking about, Rosa? 30335 What could you do to make any one respect you less?"
30335What did he say?
30335What did they do with your family?
30335What do you think of it?
30335What does a woman know about logic? 30335 What else did he say?"
30335What is it, Lena- Wingo?
30335What is the meaning of that?
30335What is the use of taking thought for the morrow?
30335What kind of a place is it?
30335What the blazes are you doing?
30335What the mischief are you trying to do?
30335What then?
30335What were you doing when you observed me?
30335What will you do for food?
30335What''s that?
30335What''s the use of knocking a feller over that way?
30335What''s to hinder? 30335 What''s up now?"
30335When are you going to cross over?
30335When do you expect him back?
30335Where are the pale faces?
30335Where has he gone?
30335Where have you been so long?
30335Where in the name of the seven wonders did you get that?
30335Where is this cave in which you say the party are asleep?
30335Where shall we get it?
30335Where''s your family?
30335Where?
30335Who Worrell?
30335Who is he? 30335 Who''s there?"
30335Why do n''t you bring him here, then, that we may see him?
30335Why do n''t you find them, then? 30335 Why do n''t you shoot him?"
30335Why do you leave us, Lena- Wingo, when there is danger all around?
30335Why does Magawan look for them this way?
30335Why not seek it now?
30335Why not, then, go back over the same route that we followed in coming here?
30335You hear gun?
30335You''ve had that Mohawk to help you ever since you left Forty Fort?
30335You? 30335 And who was Dick Evans, that the mention of his name should cause so much emotion on the part of those who heard it pronounced? 30335 And why sat he there so close to the opening of the cavern? 30335 At whom was it pointed? 30335 Because he was dressed in rather shabby attire, and was unattractive in person, should she doubt his loyalty? 30335 But the bliss of Ned Clinton; who shall tell it? 30335 But where has he gone?
30335But, Jo, are you sure that if you put yourself under charge of that man it_ will_ be for the best?"
30335Could it be that a party of fugitive patriots was engaged in a fight with a lot of Tories and Indians?
30335Could it mean, after all, that the light was an accident, and the redmen had seen nothing of the fugitives stealing in upon them?
30335Did n''t I tell you a minute ago how many narrer escapes I made while poking round in these woods?
30335Do you feel any hankering for eatables?"
30335Do you know that I came very near capturing them all?"
30335Had she not lived long enough to learn that"the rank is but a guinea''s stamp,"and that, though repulsive without, he might be"a man for a''that?"
30335How long do you expect to be gone?"
30335I just meant to give him a scare, and I guess I made out to do that-- didn''t I, Jack?"
30335I say, how are ye all agin?"
30335I suppose you know me, do n''t you?"
30335Illustration:"WHAT IN BLAZES ARE YOU AIMING AT?"
30335Is Ned awake?"
30335It strikes me as very likely that we may encounter them, and what will we do, with nothing but a pole to push the old thing through the water?"
30335It would have been a big thing, would n''t it?"
30335Jo tells me that you and he are to go together?"
30335Leaner- Winger, where are you?"
30335Lena- Wingo, the Mohawk?"
30335Mrs. Perkins is very sensitive on that subject, and she chose to disregard what I said, and what was the consequence?
30335None of them had noticed anything, and Rosa asked:"What do they resemble?"
30335Then he asked in a whisper that not even Ned Clinton overheard:"Do you mistrust him, Rosa?"
30335Then how was the latter to be used by the red scout?
30335WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
30335Was it that he might the better hear the sound of danger when it came that way?
30335Was it, then, all a jest to her?
30335Was the marksman a white or red man?
30335Well, do n''t you see that we are likely to be in the woods a good while, and we may have to take a long circuitous route to get out?
30335Were the friends being drawn into a skilfully laid ambush?
30335What do you mean?"
30335What do you say to that?"
30335What do you say, Jo?"
30335What do you say?"
30335What do you think, Rosa?"
30335What have you in mind?"
30335What more likely, therefore, than that this man could give them the very assistance they needed in that respect?
30335What, therefore, meant this profound stillness, at a time when the sounds of the most active pursuit ought to have been heard?
30335When?"
30335Where do you mean to go?"
30335Where was the canoe to be secured?
30335Where''s the difficulty in eight armed men taking possession of two who are asleep, and a woman who is also unconscious?"
30335Who had fired the gun?
30335Who knows but that he has gone in just such a direction that he will escape seeing the very Indians from whom the visit is most likely to come?"
30335Who were they?
30335Why do n''t you lay down and sleep all you want to?"
30335Why do n''t you sing out to him and ask him what he is after?"
30335Why, my friends-- it was n''t five-- certainly not ten-- minutes after that, while we were picking our way along as best we could-- What''s that?"
30335You do n''t think so, do you?"
30335You tell me, colonel, that the Mohawk did not reach Wilkesbarre with her to- day?"
30335who ever heard of a handsome young lady that would take any advice about talking?
30335why did n''t they leave the whole thing to me?
15424''And my mother?'' 15424 ''Are you mad,''cried I,''that you thus seek my life, after the wrongs you have done me?''
15424''Perhaps you think to escape?'' 15424 ''Whither, father?''
15424Aha-- yes; a hunter I presume?
15424All?
15424And are you too awake?
15424And did you venture here at once on your arrival in this western country?
15424And do you think it''s through fear?
15424And had you no personal fears?
15424And how appeared he, Ella?
15424And now-- a-- how do you call yourself?
15424And pray which did look the most foolish of the two?--or was it a drawn- game, as we sometimes say of draughts?
15424And so, Isaac, you have really proposed to darling Peggy, then? 15424 And so, lads, you do n''t see no trail thar, eh?"
15424And who told you the past tortured me?
15424And would you prefer being wedded to death, rather than me?
15424And you did n''t inquire his name?
15424And you do n''t know him?
15424And you''ve come from a good ways east o''the Alleghanies?
15424And-- and did the wound prove mortal?
15424Any more, David?
15424Are there any we do understand, Ella?
15424As how?
15424As how?
15424At the time?
15424But are you sure, Peshewa?
15424But did not he, yon gray- headed man, then and there curse me to my face?
15424But do you not weary of this fatiguing and dangerous mode of life?
15424But do you think they''re still living?
15424But tell me, Simon Girty, as the only favor I''ll ever ask o''ye-- war my wife and Ella rescued?
15424But whar d''ye get your news?
15424But what is it?--what is it as troubles her so?
15424But what''s to be done?
15424But when did this happen, David?
15424But-- but Isaac-- our friends here-- are they-- all-- all well, Isaac?
15424By the way,said the other,"pray tell me how you chanced to be so opportune in saving my life?"
15424Daughters?
15424Dead?
15424Dead?
15424Did I not tell you his life must be spared for the stake?
15424Did I say more? 15424 Did it never strike you, dear Ella, that we are all strange beings, subject to strange influences, and destined, many of us, to strange ends?"
15424Do they suspicion who war the spy?
15424Do you think we''re invisible, and they ca n''t see us?
15424Ef the seige be protracted, what are we to do for water?
15424Even complimentary adjectives, eh?
15424Had you no fears for yourself individually?
15424Halloo yourself!--what''s wanted?
15424Has he any sons?
15424Have the red devils got possession of the fort?
15424Have ye looked to the stranger agin, Ella, and moisted his bandage?
15424Have you really, then, sad forebodings?
15424How he rides!--Who is it?--What can have happened?
15424How''s this, Sammy?
15424I presume you have heard of the battles of Guilford and Camden, in both of which General Greene was defeated?
15424I suppose in reality the present war with England does not trouble you here?
15424I suppose you now consider yourself in a measure safe from Indian encroachments?
15424In this perplexity what are we to do?
15424Is it you?
15424Is the great chief a child, or in his dotage,he said to Girty, in the Shawanoe dialect,"that he lets passion run away with his reason?
15424May I ask his occupation?
15424May I ask the cause?
15424Or bullet proof?
15424Or of so little account you arn''t afeared to lose us?
15424Or that our scalps arn''t worth as much as yourn?
15424Pardon me again-- but are there more indwellers here than you have mentioned?
15424See here, stranger, I reckon you''ve not been long in these parts?
15424Speak out, then--_how_ do you know?
15424Surely, Algernon,exclaimed Ella, with pale features,"you are not going to leave us again so soon?"
15424Thar''s my neighbor Millbanks''family--"Well? 15424 The Shemanoes--"[9]"Well?"
15424Then you consider free agency only a chance game, depending, as it were, upon the throw of a die?
15424Think you, stranger, ef I wanted to harm ye, I could n''t have done it without you seeing me?
15424To what renegade agents do you allude?
15424True,returned the other;"but what''s the meaning of this?"
15424Weary, stranger? 15424 What discovery have you made now?"
15424What is it, CÃ ¦ sar?
15424What new troubles ha''ye got, Simon Girty?
15424What on yarth shall we do, ef them plaguy Britishers git uppermost? 15424 What''s happened, Dick Allison?"
15424What''s in a name?
15424What''s the news, David Billings?
15424What, therefore, does my brother propose?
15424Who are they?
15424Who are you, sir?
15424Who''ll volunteer to go with me on the dangerous mission?
15424Who''s that you said war dead, Isaac?
15424Why, Ella, you know--"Yes, yes, Isaac-- what of her?
15424Why, colonel, how are ye? 15424 Why, how in the name o''all Christen nater did you find out I''d done it?"
15424Why, what in the name o''all creation can a stranger be wanting with me? 15424 Why,"answered Isaac, in a somewhat hesitating manner,"I do n''t know''s thar''s any body exactly sick-- but--""But what, Isaac?"
15424Will you favor me with a description of his personal appearance?
15424Will you have the goodness, madam, to inform me where I am?
15424You are, too, I infer, a native of----, Connecticut, and son of Albert Reynolds of that place?
15424You love her?
15424You''d kill me, would ye? 15424 Your name, then,"returned the other, quietly,"I presume to be Algernon Reynolds?"
15424Advancing directly to the prisoners, the renegade now said, with a sneer:"Well, my beauties, are you ready to die?"
15424Again: What is the soul?
15424Algernon, what is the matter?--what has happened?--are you in your senses?
15424And so you''re Simon Girty, hey?
15424And would the white chief give him the death of a warrior?"
15424At length he advanced to the side of the Indian, and said in the Shawanoe dialect, with a sneer:"Is Oshasqua a squaw, that he should turn nurse?"
15424At these words Ella started to her feet, and exclaiming wildly,"Who are they-- who are Girty''s victims?"
15424But how came we here, and why?
15424But how you come all tied so?''
15424But the squaw?"
15424But what child is this?"
15424But what could avail heroism here on that ill- fated day?
15424But what have you got thar in your arms, that seems so heavy, David?"
15424But what was to be done?
15424But what''s been done here?"
15424But where are they who once inhabited it?
15424But who comes here?"
15424Colonel Daniel Boone?"
15424Could it be a presentiment, he asked himself, sent to warn him of danger and prepare him to meet it?
15424Could it be some strange hallucination of the brain-- some wild imagining-- caused by my previous exercise and over heat?
15424Could it indeed be a dream?
15424Could you indeed for a moment suppose such a thing possible?
15424D''ye think, dog, it war Indians as done it?"
15424Did n''t two o''them set out in advance?"
15424Did they?
15424Do n''t you know, sir, that if we wait for Logan, he will gain all the laurels?--and that if we press forward, we shall gain all the glory?"
15424Do you not know me?
15424Ella, child-- don''t you say so?"
15424Give me your name?"
15424Han''t I bin amongst''em once?--and did n''t the Lord preserve me?--and shall I doubt His protection now, when a hundred lives is at stake?
15424Have you more to ask?"
15424He did n''t appear to have his senses, I reckon?"
15424How do we exist?
15424How do we think, reason, speak, feel, move, see, hear, smell, taste?
15424Immediately after I had finished my repast, Logan approached me, and, in tolerable good English, said:"''White man, where from?''
15424Is not the Big Knife already doomed to the tortures?
15424Is this a proper return therefor, think you?"
15424Know you?
15424Mr. Allprayer, who tuk some on''t once for the gout; and he said as how the contracting( counteracting?)
15424Now why do they act together here?
15424Now why was this?
15424Pardon me,"added he, again addressing Algernon;"but may I inquire concerning yourself?"
15424Reynolds?"
15424Reynolds?"
15424Reynolds?"
15424Reynolds?"
15424Say, dearest, will you be mine?"
15424Simon Girty,"said the other, with a slight start and change of countenance;"what know you of him?"
15424Then addressing herself to Reynolds, she continued:"Whar are you, stranger, do you ax?
15424Then wherefore should both cease?--and with them the power of thought, reason, speech, and all the other senses?
15424Then, turning to the stranger, he added:"But wo n''t you accompany us, sir?"
15424Those hoary headed veterans-- those middle aged men-- or those fiery and impetuous youths ever ready for either love or war?
15424To what awful end had fate destined them?
15424Weary, friend?
15424What construction did you put upon my words, Ella?"
15424What is a spirit?
15424What more could he ask?
15424What want you here?''
15424What would you more?
15424When, O when, I humbly beg to know, will your philanthropic efforts end?
15424Where are they now?
15424Whither does it go when separated forever from the body?
15424Who can comprehend it?
15424Who shall say he was not secretly repenting of that life of crime, which had already drawn down the curses of thousands upon his head?
15424Who shall say he was not then and there meditating upon death, and the dread eternity and judgment that must quickly follow dissolution?
15424Who shall say what guilty deeds of the past might have been harrowing up his soul to fear and even remorse?
15424Who''ll follow me?"
15424Why ca n''t you be more quiet?"
15424Why can not a dead person do the same?
15424Why was not each placed in its separate sphere of action?
15424Why when did you come-- and how on yarth did ye git here-- and what in the name o''all creation has been happening?
15424Why, what on yarth be you grinning at agin, Isaac?--jest for all the world like a monkey for?"
15424Will you share with me, and be partner of my lot, be it for good or ill, through life?
15424You say there are many things we may not understand concerning ourselves-- what ones, I pray you, do we fully comprehend?
15424You''d kill me, would ye?
15424a thought strikes me, Peshewa: You have no wife--(the savage gave a grunt)--suppose you take her?"
15424and are you really there, carrying out another of your noble and humane designs?
15424and in what place were they to drain the last bitter dregs of woe?
15424and that the boats of the other division, unless they have recrossed, may still be secreted not far hence?"
15424and we are to have a wedding shortly?"
15424but let me ask you_ why_ that life is extinct?--why that breath has stopped?--and why that blood has ceased to flow?
15424cried I in frenzy;''devil in human shape!--do you seek me in the body?
15424cried she again, turning from one to the other, rapidly, with an anxious look:"who are the victims of the renegade Girty?"
15424cried the other;"start off agin, and put your scalp into the hands of the infernal, ripscallious, painted Injens?
15424did I indeed say this?"
15424go right straight in among the Injen warmints-- them male critters?"
15424my gallant lads-- what say ye?"
15424not know the amiable Simon Girty, surnamed the Renegade?
15424of what avail was coolness, impetuosity, or desperation now?
15424repeated Reynolds, with a slight fall of countenance;"have you then seen or heard any thing since to make you suspicious?"
15424retorted the other, in a sneering, sarcastic tone;"but I was speaking of the defeat of General_ Greene!_""At Camden?"
15424that thar sneaking, red- coat renegade?
15424then you have been a spy upon me, have you?"
15424to whom could she look for protection now?
15424well?"
15424what a flustration they has made about ye, sure enough, for sartin-- han''t they?
15424what do we with squalling children?
15424what is it?"
15424what mean you?"
15424where in marcy''s sake is my dear, darling Ella?"
26137''That?'' 26137 All safe, fellows?
26137And did that give the ranch the name by which it is known to you?
26137And is it still your wish, sir, that I make O''Grady walk the rest of the way?
26137And yet-- wouldn''t it be lovely?--To think of seeing you there!--are you sure there''d be no danger?
26137And you are going-- soon?
26137And you''ve not been chased? 26137 Are you wondering whether those fellows really are United States regulars?"
26137Been long in Arizona?
26137But the Fifth Cavalry are here now, and they will soon be up there to help you, and put a stop to all that,--won''t they?
26137But those Indian ponies, Mr. Ralph, could n''t they beat him?
26137Can you tell?
26137Corporal,said he to the non- commissioned officer in charge,"is n''t that O''Grady''s horse off there to the left?"
26137Did I not?
26137Did he answer?
26137Did you challenge?
26137Do n''t like to? 26137 Do they, Nan?
26137Do you know who they are?
26137Do you mean you have not forgotten_ that_? 26137 Do you suppose that Gleason has got the start of us after all?
26137Do you think he can walk over to my quarters?
26137Does n''t he, Mack?
26137Going? 26137 Had n''t you better see the colonel about that?"
26137Has any despatch been sent down to meet Colonel Stanley?
26137Has he?
26137Have you heard anything about this report of Stanley''s last night?
26137Have you seen anything of Corporal Potts?
26137Have you sent for a surgeon?
26137How about that, Nihil?
26137How far from here to-- the Springs?
26137How is this?
26137How long ago?
26137How long since you ate anything?
26137How on earth could you have been so careless, Billy?
26137How so?
26137How''d I know anybody was over there?
26137How''d we happen to get him, then?
26137I-- thought--another quick glance at the piazza--"that a soldier, on leaving, should-- salute his commanding officer?"
26137Is it worth all the long journey, and all the excitement in which your mother tells me you''ve been plunged for the past month?
26137Know what that is, boys?
26137Looking for anybody, Nan?
26137Major Wilton is_ post_ commander; but-- did you not-- a year----?
26137May I say a word, sir?
26137No, somewhere up above us,--near the Nest, probably,--though who can tell? 26137 Now, do you know, I thought just the other way?
26137Now, what about Lodge Pole?
26137Oh, why did we let him go? 26137 Old man, are you much hurt?"
26137Over with your blankets, are they? 26137 Poker?
26137Ralph? 26137 Sergeant, was it by the commanding officer''s order that O''Grady was put in there?"
26137So you do n''t wear the sabre on a scout? 26137 Tell me,"she suddenly asks,"have you applied for leave of absence?"
26137Tell them what?
26137Ten- fifty, did you say?
26137That so?
26137Then you have n''t seen or heard a thing?
26137Then-- will he go?
26137Well, that report as good as finds him on demerit, does n''t it?
26137What about it?
26137What does Billy say about it?
26137What does it all mean?
26137What is it? 26137 What is that man''s name?"
26137What makes you think they''ve spotted me, anyhow?
26137What man did this one most look like, so far as you could judge?
26137What on earth is that?
26137What say you, Ralph?
26137What was he doing, Carroll?
26137What''d you bring me that infernal old hearse- horse for?
26137What''s the matter, doctor?
26137What''s the matter,--quick?
26137What''s the row?
26137What''s the trouble, sentry?
26137What?
26137Where away was that signal smoke we saw at the divide?
26137Where is_ he_?
26137Where on earth are you going?
26137Where was he?
26137Where''s Van?
26137Who fired?
26137Who is it? 26137 Who was the man?
26137Who''skinned''him?--Lee? 26137 Who?"
26137Whose horse is that, orderly?
26137Whose horses are these?
26137Why not to Hawkshurst, if anywhere at all?
26137Why not, sergeant?
26137Why not? 26137 Why not?"
26137Why? 26137 Wo n''t I do for commanding officer this time?"
26137Worth it, Uncle Jack?
26137Worth it? 26137 Would you mind asking if there are letters for me?"
26137You are going to the ball, though?
26137You do n''t mean O''Grady?
26137You do n''t mean-- you''re not going down to Hawkshurst, Billy?
26137You duly notified the superintendent of your impending arrival, I suppose?
26137''Had Mr. Burnham''s wife and daughter come?''
26137''Were Mr. Burnham and the ladies over at the other ranch?''
26137( for when excited O''Grady_ would_ relapse into the brogue);"but are ye much hurt?"
26137And he made it, too; did you notice?
26137And now what was his duty?
26137At last,--"Do n''t you think you ought to have asked me, before applying for leave to go?"
26137But how many men you got?"
26137Ca n''t you bring him to?
26137Could he hold out till then?
26137Could it be that O''Grady detected it?
26137Could you make him out?"
26137Did you see him up at the post?"
26137Did you send up your card?"
26137Do any of you know his history?"
26137Do n''t you?"
26137Do you mean that now-- for all time-- my first allegiance shall be to you, Miriam?"
26137Drop her and save himself?
26137Ever seen them?"
26137Every man to the ranch, and you get word to Lodge Pole, will you?"
26137Have I not a right to know what has brought about the change?"
26137Have any of you been to the ranches lately?
26137Have you been quite kind to me of late?
26137He knows all too well that an immediate inspection will be the result, and then, what is to become of McKay?
26137He may be gone a whole hour, but will you stay right here-- you and dolly-- and take good care of the satchel?"
26137Hear those mules?
26137Her eyes have told him how earnestly she repents: and does he not always read her eyes?
26137How are you, boy?
26137How can you speak so of Willy, when he is so devoted to you?
26137How long has her mother been dead, Ralph?"
26137How many men have you here?"
26137How''s this for a moustache?"
26137I did not suppose that you would so soon prove to be-- no friend to Willy, or----""Or what, Miss Nannie?"
26137I suppose they never come across between Laramie and Fetterman, do they, Ralph?"
26137I was asked to designate some young man for West Point who thoroughly deserved it, and is not this appointment well won?"
26137I''ve got it poulticed, sir, and he''ll be all right in a day or two----""Sure it ai n''t a nail?"
26137I''ve never been this far down; but what do you want to bet that_ that''s_ what the lieutenant is aiming at?
26137If he were an Indian whom you wanted to bring down what would you set your sights at, providing you had time to set them at all?"
26137If this be true is it not time to be making her peace?
26137If_ he_ would only ask for me, or if I could only do something to make him glad to ask; but what chance is there?"
26137Is he missing?"
26137Is it battalion drill?"
26137It means that they crossed the stage road, Ralph, but how long ago was that, do you think, and where are they now?
26137Lee?"
26137Look out for them for me, will you, Stan, until old Snipes gets there and sends for me?"
26137Mrs. McKay, is it not?"
26137No?
26137Now, how shall we fix it?"
26137Now, will you stay here with us or go up to Farron''s and tell Wells what you''ve seen?"
26137Oh, for pity''s sake, gentlemen, ca n''t you do something?
26137Oh, it is n''t_ true_?
26137Ralph?"
26137Relieve him?
26137Stanley?"
26137Tell me one thing: how long had you been drinking before you were confined?"
26137The men waved their hats to Ralph and his soldier comrade, and one of them called out,"Whar''d ye leave the cavalry?"
26137The old officer of the day looked up inquiringly:"Where is O''Grady, sergeant?"
26137The only question now is, will he not come or send forward to the Chug to meet me, and could I not be with mother two days earlier that way?
26137The silence was embarrassing, so I inquired,--"What had he to report?"
26137There is a minute of banging doors and hurrying footsteps, and gruff queries of"All in?"
26137Think you can hold on five minutes longer, or shall I toss you over and let you swim for it?"
26137Was it not brought to your room?"
26137Was there ever a time, dear, when my whole heart was n''t open to you in love and sympathy?"
26137We ca n''t let you go?"
26137Were the Indians ahead of him then, and on both sides of the road?
26137What chance has an army boy in Wyoming against the son of some fellow with Senators and Representatives at his back in Washington?
26137What chance, indeed?
26137What could it mean?
26137What could you have said if you''d had the chance?
26137What d''ye think he told me when I went to hunt him up?"
26137What danger is there?
26137What did I tell you?"
26137What does your mother think of it?"
26137What has she said or done to deserve penance like this?
26137What hope to save her now?
26137What is it you tell me you have kept for me?"
26137What is it, daughter,--tired?"
26137What makes those little flashes, sergeant?"
26137What o''clock is it?"
26137What say you, sergeant?"
26137What say you?"
26137What was she to do?
26137What was the last news from your father, Ralph, and when do you go?"
26137What''s that?"
26137What''s that?"
26137What''s the difference when time''s so nearly up?"
26137What''s wrong at the Chug?"
26137Where did he get him?
26137Where do you suppose they could have sent it?"
26137Where is he?"
26137Where''s Ralph McCrea?
26137Where''s the rest of the regiment?"
26137Where, then, was Romney Lee?
26137Who can tell of the dread, the emotion he felt as he clung to the trusting little one for that short moment?
26137Who comes_ there_?"
26137Who ever heard of a''tack''s''inspecting after taps two successive nights?"
26137Who fired?"
26137Who is to give Farron warning?"
26137Why did those eyes-- so heavily fringed, so thickly shaded-- seem to her familiar as old friends?
26137Why in----, sir, are they not here on your horse, where they ought to be?"
26137Why''n thunder ca n''t you see I''m doing my best?
26137Why?
26137Why_ did n''t_ he send her here?"
26137Will you put your horse in to- night?"
26137Willy,_ do_ you know who it was?
26137Wonder if sticking up is something they continue when they get to their regiments?
26137Would you mind my telegraphing to father at Laramie and asking him?"
26137Yes; but what means that for me?
26137You are not going out of barracks?"
26137You will have a chance this very evening, wo n''t you?
26137You''ll excuse me, colonel?"
26137You''ve seen nobody?"
26137_ Do n''t_ you think he ought to have come forward like a gentleman, days ago, and told the truth?
26137_ Indians?_ Why, the whole country''s alive with''em between here and Hunton''s.
26137_ Sure_ they have n''t seen anything at Laramie?"
26137_ Tell_ me,"she says, impulsively, imploringly,"are you going to inspect?"
26137_ Where_ are ye?"
26137_ Will!_ What is it?
26137_ Would_ you mind taking care of her a few minutes?
26137he calls,"who was the young officer who just drove off in the carriage with the lady and gentleman?"
26137he cried, excitedly,"_ the wire''s cut!_""Where?"
26137how is he to get an appointment?
26137that must have been two miles back,--full half an hour ago: you do n''t mean that ridge is two miles away?
26631About what, Patsy?
26631Ai n''t it the truth?
26631Alive are you?
26631An'', please sweet grace, why should n''t he? 26631 An''him?"
26631And Cousin?
26631And leave this excellent shelter?
26631And never come back to them alive?
26631Any news, Lige?
26631Any signs of the Cherokees coming in?
26631Aye? 26631 Basdel, why not stay on this side of the mountains?
26631But if she loves the man----"But what if she believes she does n''t love him quite enough to take him and his rifle and live in the woods? 26631 But why retain it when it is needed elsewhere?"
26631But why run any risk?
26631Ca n''t we go the way they did and be safe?
26631Ca n''t we learn something from them?
26631Coming out here?
26631Crabtree is n''t going with you?
26631Crabtree is there, is he?
26631Did the ancient Virginia Indians prosper by civilization? 26631 Did you git it?"
26631Do n''t you understand it, men? 26631 Do you mean that there is no need of this war?
26631Do you mean they would resent it?
26631Do you remember me?
26631Do you wish I had shot him?
26631Does Pennsylvania still blame Michael Cresap for the death of Logan''s people?
26631Does it hurt much?
26631Go as what?
26631Gone away? 26631 Gone back home?"
26631Have you medicine to make it into a cannon?
26631Have you seen Ericus Dale, the trader?
26631Hear what I say?
26631Honest?
26631How about the Injuns being willing for us to go down into the Kentucky country?
26631How can the country expand unless the settlers have land? 26631 How did Dale''s girl stand the journey?"
26631How far to the Grisdol cabin?
26631How is the arm this morning?
26631How many cabins on Howard''s Creek now?
26631In God''s mercy why should we have war with the Indians? 26631 In trade?"
26631Is n''t that about enough?
26631Is she promised to you?
26631Meaning John Ward?
26631My daughter?
26631Need of war?
26631No danger? 26631 Oh, the young man with the sad history?
26631Oh, young Morris, eh? 26631 Remember you, Basdel?
26631She will never come back to us?
26631Shelby?
26631Stand it?
26631The white trader, the Pack- Horse- Man, spoke words that drive them back?
26631Then why have n''t you tried to make the settlement? 26631 Then you will not wait?
26631This white woman? 26631 Wait for what?
26631Wait till night? 26631 Was it your rifles, or was it trade that stopped an attack on these cabins night before last?
26631What about it? 26631 What about the girl?"
26631What call had Ward to say he was a fool?
26631What do the men think?
26631What do they plan? 26631 What does Dale now think of his Indian friends?"
26631What does all this mean, Runner? 26631 What does it mean?"
26631What does the white Injun say?
26631What losses in there?
26631What luck?
26631What odds where they''re killed so long as they''re rubbed out?
26631What village were you kept in?
26631What''s the matter with you, Basdel?
26631When did they ride?
26631When did they start?
26631Where are the Dales?
26631Where are the Dales?
26631Where does Black Hoof lead his warriors?
26631Where is the white woman? 26631 Where''d you git it, Baby?"
26631Which way did they ride, Aunty?
26631White?
26631Who is it?
26631Who of us will be alive a hundred years from now? 26631 Who was he?"
26631Who''s there?
26631Why do n''t you come along?
26631Why do n''t you whistle now?
26631Why do n''t you whistle now?
26631Why do that?
26631Why, she ai n''t sick or hurt, is she?
26631With the woman to watch you?
26631You are sure they made for the mountains?
26631You do n''t go for to figger me in with Baker an''Greathouse?
26631You have tried once?
26631You know who he is?
26631You mean you are free to go and come unwatched?
26631You see those?
26631You were in the cabin with the dead Englishman?
26631You would not go with him?
26631A home in the wilderness?
26631A snake?"
26631After a protracted silence he abruptly asked:"My sister said she was sendin''me a new sister, you say?"
26631After another silence he asked:"You''low she''s with daddy an''mammy?"
26631And as he slowly advanced he shouted in the Shawnee language:"Do my brothers fire on their brother?
26631And ca n''t we start now?
26631And if the Indians block the trail how can we get the land without fighting for it?
26631And then what if he comes back, rifle in hand, and that''s all?
26631And why does youth in such juvenile cataclysms feel forced to seek new fields in making the fresh start?
26631Any of you believe it?"
26631Are n''t you thankful he was here to stop the attack?"
26631Are you as blind as all that?"
26631Are you sure they did n''t take your heart?"
26631Are you, too, blind?
26631At last I managed to ask:"What you said back there was a trick of course?
26631But what if she has always lived in town and is n''t used to that sort of life?"
26631But why a squaw on a war- path?
26631But why should the turkey- buzzards follow him?
26631But why talk of war now?
26631Could your friends, the killers, have sent them away so quickly?
26631Cousin''s arm was around my neck, and as he pulled me back he passionately cried:"Will it help her to git killed?
26631Dale seems to have a pert amount o''authority over''em; but how long''s he goin''to stay here?
26631Did any fools work and save up so we could take life soft and easy?
26631Did he have the chunk of johnny- cake in his meat- trap?"
26631Did n''t you like me back in Williamsburg?"
26631Did the French try to settle Canada?
26631Did you kill her?"
26631Do I carry any hope with me when I go back to the forest?"
26631Do scalps grow at the bottom of holes?"
26631Do the Shawnees fire guns at the Pack- Horse- Man?
26631Do the Shawnees hurt the friends of the Pack- Horse- Man?
26631Do they harm their brother''s friends?
26631Do they want to be?
26631Do you begrudge giving my father his due?
26631Do you go out?"
26631Do you reckon I treated that dog any worse than the Shawnees treated my father and mother and little sister ten years ago?
26631Do you wish that?
26631Does she know her father is dead?"
26631Does the Pack- Horse- Man ask his red brothers to be kind only to have his words fall on dead ears?
26631Ever hear of Indians making a profit out of our civilization?
26631Ever see a single piaster of profit made out of a dead Indian unless you could sell his hair?
26631Had not Cornstalk and other chiefs, the best of their breed, sworn friendship to the whites in Virginia in 1759 and during Pontiac''s War?
26631Had they not feasted with old friends, and then, catching them off their guard, chopped them down?
26631Has there ever been a time when you or your fathers could stop their raids with rifles?
26631Having prepared him for seeing Patricia, I shifted his line of thought by asking,"What do you think of John Ward?"
26631He gave a little gasping sob and whispered:"How near to the cabin now?"
26631Her words stunned him for a bit, then he managed to gasp out,"Who is this man?"
26631Hiding my skepticism I asked,"When will it begin?"
26631His actions attracted the attention of the men, and Black Hoof asked:"What does Red Arrow think is in the log?
26631How do you feel about the doings of night before last?"
26631How ye goin''to stop her?
26631How''s my woman?
26631Hughes laughed hoarsely and called out to the silent settlers:"What do you fellers say to all this twaddle?
26631If I could not feel a full confidence in John Ward, born white, how could I place a deep and abiding trust in those who were born red?
26631If not that why should they be makin''east into the mountains?
26631Is n''t he Johnny Ward, took by the Injums when a boy, an''just managed to scoot free of''em?"
26631Is n''t that enough?
26631Is n''t there something moving in the bushes?"
26631Is that fair to ask any woman?"
26631It wo n''t put you out any to see her and tell her?"
26631John Ward went with them?"
26631Line both sides of the Ohio with log cabins and stick a white family in each and what good does it do?
26631Loaded?
26631Now, Mr. Rifleman, what do you think about the influence of an honest trader?"
26631Only once did she revert to his taking off, and then to ask:"Was there a single chance for him to escape?"
26631Ready?"
26631Rising, but with no show of haste, Lewis called to Cousin and me:"What about this?"
26631Rising, he asked:"Catahecassa led that path?
26631S''pose we''ll have a mess of a fight soon?
26631See any footin''over''cross?
26631Seen any Injun- signs on the way?"
26631Settlers?
26631She defiantly exclaimed:"And why not?
26631She threw out her arms and smiled scornfully and cried:"You hide in the bushes to watch me?
26631So you seen him?
26631Staring wide- eyed at the governor he concluded his outburst by demanding:"What about it, Your Excellency?"
26631Tell me, Basdel, did she suffer much when she died?"
26631That''s the way the cat jumps, eh?
26631The governor hesitated a moment, then asked me:"What is your personal opinion of Doctor Connolly?
26631Then aside,"Good God, he ai n''t took to killing whites, has he?"
26631Then gloomily:"But why could n''t I''a''took it?
26631Then he asked:"You did not kill him?"
26631Then he fiercely whispered:"How''d you git these from the devils?"
26631Then in sudden terror,"Are the Indians back here in the mountains?"
26631Then with an effort to be calm he began:"Land?
26631They sure ran away night before last, but how far did they go?
26631Trade?
26631Traveling far?
26631Turning to Black Hoof, Cornstalk asked:"How long before you roast this white man?"
26631Uncle Dick, whom I had left whetting his knife on the stones of the Davis fireplace, gave a cackling laugh and answered:"Believe it?
26631Want to milk him for military information, eh?
26631Were we put on earth to slave and make fortunes for fools not yet born?
26631What about Miss Dale?"
26631What about his influence over the Indians?
26631What good is this land over here if you ca n''t get fur from it?
26631What good would they have done?
26631What has he to offer her?
26631What if Ward were the creature Cousin pictured him?
26631What if he goes a second time and is gone another three years?
26631What is it?"
26631What other charges are there in your arraignment?"
26631What will they do with me?"
26631What you goin''to do with this varmint?"
26631When will you learn that you can not stop Indian wars until you''ve killed every Indian this side the mountains?
26631When will you learn, Morris?"
26631Who be they?"
26631Who knows what I could have done?
26631Why did you let them go?"
26631Why does n''t the House of Burgesses send it to the border?"
26631Why not?
26631Why should n''t the Indians insist we live as they do?
26631Why should they be civilized?
26631Will he head riflemen to battle, or stay at the forts?"
26631Will not give me any hope?"
26631Will you go with me to the Scioto villages?"
26631With a stare that strongly reminded me of her father she slowly said:"In trade?
26631Would Your Excellency prefer that he make a verbal report to me and that I reduce it to writing for your consideration?"
26631You fill your ears against Catahecassa''s words?
26631You going to keep on shooting?"
26631You have business with me, my man?"
26631You now admit you were foolish to think that?"
26631You would never torture the daughter of the Pack- Horse- Man?"
26631Young Cousin flashed into my mind, and I asked:"Do you know of a white woman-- she would be nineteen years old now-- named Cousin?
48344CAMPUS MARTIUS What do I mean by Campus Martius, when I claim to be living in the town of Marietta?
48344Do you remember how old I am?
48344Do you remember the Rouse family?
48571And do n''t you remember how impatiently boys and girls looked forward to the next issue merely because of those tales?
48571For grades 3- 5 Do n''t you remember the"Toby Tyler"stories, which appeared some years ago in"Harper''s Young People"?
48571Have you been hurt?"
15055Ai n''t you noticed nothin'', Paul?
15055Alvarez?
15055An''let''em pass us?
15055And Shif''less Sol?
15055And what of the ring and the professional swordsman?
15055And you, Señor Wyatt?
15055Anything happened?
15055Anything to tell?
15055Are n''t you a little bit grasping, Jim?
15055Are they goin''to tie us up in a pen?
15055Are you hit, Henry?
15055Are you sick, Jim?
15055But that is exactly what we lack at this time,said Henry,"and how can we get it while we are locked up here?"
15055But what can they do now?
15055But will they come?
15055Ca n''t you stay a while in New Orleans and rest?
15055Could you do much with it, Paul?
15055Did you do this thing?
15055Did you hit anything, Sol?
15055Do Wyatt and Alvarez know that I''m out?
15055Do you know this Alvarez?
15055Do you mean to say,asked Henry,"that all these men have gone away to join Alvarez in some desperate adventure?"
15055Do you mean to tell me,he said,"that such a muscle and such a body have been built up and nourished by things as mild as orange water?"
15055Do you see anything to the southward, Sol?
15055Do you see anything, Henry?
15055Do you suppose that he would ever walk into a trap, when there was nothing inside the trap worth the risk? 15055 Do you think it''s going to grow lighter?"
15055Do you think that a few woodsmen can stand in the path of Spain? 15055 Do you think that we are made of such stuff as that miserable renegade, Braxton Wyatt?"
15055Do you think the five, the party that you said were so much to be dreaded, are still following us?
15055Do you think we''ll ever break through, Sol?
15055Do you think you can get hold of Braxton Wyatt?
15055Good morning,he exclaimed, cheerily,"you are the gentlemen from Kentucky who arrived yesterday?
15055Has your captain repented, an''does he want to give us the finest rooms in his house? 15055 Have they found out who did it?"
15055Have you got that ruffian securely bound?
15055He wanted the boat, did he not?
15055Henry,said Shif''less Sol presently in a tone of great exultation,"have you noticed that this is a shore enough gall- yun that we''ve took?
15055Hev to go, what do you mean, Paul?
15055How could Galvez have known?
15055How could the news have reached New Orleans so soon?
15055How do you know that Spain will help England to fight us?
15055How far is it from this place to the land of the Miamis and the Shawnees?
15055How long do you think we hev been in here, Paul?
15055How long do you think we will be kept in here?
15055How many did you see, Sol?
15055How was this alliance formed?
15055How''s your shoulder, Paul?
15055I agree with you,said Paul,"but how is it to be done?"
15055I suppose you cut her out, took her from the Spaniards?
15055I take it,he said by way of reply,"that you are no great friend of the captain, Francisco Alvarez?"
15055If a higher officer rebukes you unjustly and sneers at a commander whom you respect and like, is it calculated to promote friendship?
15055If four go down and only one is left, then he whoever he may be, must go on and win alone?
15055If one falls, the four that are left keep on?
15055If you become Governor General what will you do with the Kentuckians in the fort?
15055Indians?
15055Is it a ghost?
15055Is it all over, Paul?
15055Is it likely that Cotter is alone?
15055Is it not true that by fair or foul means you expect shortly to succeed Bernardo Galvez as Governor General of Louisiana?
15055Is it the Atlantic or the Pacific or one I ai n''t heard tell of a- tall, a- tall? 15055 Is this really true, Sol?"
15055Is this true, Don Francisco?
15055It''s nice ridin''on a boat, but if the lightning should strike''The Gall- yun,''whar are we? 15055 Jim Hart, is my breakfus ready?
15055Jim,said Shif''less Sol in plaintive tones to Long Jim Hart,"wo n''t you please come here, an''hold up my head?"
15055Not if I lived to be a hundred years old, Paul, or mebbe a hundred an''twenty,''cause I''m a pow''ful healthy man?
15055Now that they have escaped, what do you think they will do?
15055Now what is it, my brave Luiz?
15055Now what under the sun can they be about?
15055Now, Sol Hyde,said Long Jim,"what do you want me to come thar an''hold up your head fur?
15055Paul,he said,"did you ever see a panther gittin''ready to jump?
15055Shall we gag this fellow, Captain?
15055Since you are returning to New Orleans, Father Montigny,said Paul,"why do n''t you go with us in our big boat?
15055Some one you know?
15055That is, he wanted to make Braxton Wyatts out of us?
15055To bribe you? 15055 Well?"
15055What are these?
15055What did you fellers think?
15055What do you intend to do?
15055What do you mean?
15055What do you see, Tom?
15055What do you take them to be?
15055What does it portend?
15055What does this mean?
15055What else do you find?
15055What friends?
15055What happened?
15055What has happened?
15055What have you seed?
15055What is it, Henry?
15055What is it, Henry?
15055What is it, Henry?
15055What is it, Paul?
15055What is it, father?
15055What is it?
15055What is this interruption? 15055 What makes you ask sech a foolish question, Paul?
15055What of the other charges?
15055What of these maps, Don Francisco Alvarez?
15055What other facts?
15055What sort uv nonsense are you talkin''now, Sol Hyde?
15055What was the purport of these messages?
15055What will become of Alvarez?
15055What''s pores?
15055What''s the matter, Sol?
15055What''s the matter?
15055What''s your idea?
15055What''s your plan?
15055When do you think they will attack us, Father Montigny?
15055Where are your comrades?
15055Where is he?
15055Which sea are we ploughin''through now, Paul?
15055Who is that?
15055Why do n''t you talk back?
15055Why rush on to destruction with the foolish rebels? 15055 Why should I betray you?"
15055Why, ai n''t you the ship''s cook?
15055Why,replied Paul,"all this country will be settled up some day, and how can bears and panthers and buffaloes roam wild on farms?"
15055Will Your Excellency state the complaint against us?
15055Will you kindly stand up a moment?
15055Wuz it them?
15055You are Captain Francisco Alvarez of the Spanish forces at New Orleans?
15055You come from Kaintock?
15055You did not kill him?
15055You do n''t mean it, Sol?
15055You mean that you will detain me?
15055You were going back to New Orleans alone, and in a little canoe?
15055You would not proceed to any act of hostility in conjunction with the tribes, when Spain and the colonies are at peace?
15055Your proof?
15055Ah, what is it now?"
15055An''say, Henry, what do you call this?"
15055An''the long beaver trappin''trips, you could go on?
15055And above all why did they expect Spanish troops and Spanish cannon?"
15055Are such deeds to be done, here, in our day, in Louisiana, and to pass unchallenged?"
15055Are the rest of you willing?"
15055Are you too lazy to hold it up fur yourself?"
15055At a hundred yards what chance would them things have ag''in me?"
15055But could it be true?
15055But why do you discuss these things with me or tell me of them?"
15055But, Paul, ef a feller could do that fur about a thousand years would n''t it be a life wuth livin''?
15055CHAPTER XIX THE BATTLE OF THE BANK"What is it?
15055Can Spain give up such a site and such a vast and fertile territory as Louisiana?
15055Can not he foresee, can not he look ahead a little and tell what rebel success means?
15055Can you prove it when you see the Governor General?"
15055Can you tell us how to reach him?"
15055Did he not detect a slight undertone of irony or satire in the voice of Bernardo Galvez?
15055Did n''t he know that Tom and I were sufficient for any task that might be ahead of us this morning?"
15055Do you know what day it is?"
15055Do you think thar''ll ever be any times hereafter as interestin''ez ourn, Paul?"
15055Do you think that a great ancient monarchy can be held back by stray settlers?"
15055Do you think we''d better pull for the shore?"
15055Do you think, Paul, thar''s any lady who would sell her earrings an''finger rings fur me ez that Spanish one did fur Columbus?"
15055Do you wonder then that the warriors wish your help?"
15055Hark, what was that?
15055Have you helped them yourselves?
15055He heard only the stray murmur of the wind among the leaves-- and was that a ripple in the water?
15055How can a Spaniard lend himself to the cause of Republican rebels and injure monarchy?
15055How can he help it when he sees so vast and fertile a land inhabited only by savages?
15055How could unarmed men escape through such a thickness of logs?
15055How dare you?"
15055How did you get them?"
15055How many canoes and boats have we now, Adam?"
15055How much did this man know?
15055How will the Governor of New Orleans know whether the fighting is on Spanish territory or not?
15055I know not what plot is afoot""As a prisoner?"
15055If my master should choose to put forth his strength, even to send his far- extended arm into these woods, to what would your tiny settlements amount?
15055If you do not keep faith with him how could I believe that you would keep faith with me?"
15055Is it not so?"
15055Need I be accused of it again?"
15055No, Henry, we''re bold pirates on the high seas an''we''ve been an''took a Spanish gall- yun-- ain''t that what they call their treasure ships?
15055Notice how his eyes turn a yellery- green,''cause he thinks he''s goin''to git what he wants right away?
15055Now how much did Father Montigny know of his plans?
15055Now what do you mean by sayin''that all this country will be settled up?
15055Now what shall it be?"
15055Now, where do you think these maps are kept?"
15055Presently, when the turmoil had died down, he said in a low voice to Alvarez:"What was it that the sentinel said about hearing the howl of a wolf?"
15055Say, Henry, ai n''t I a beauty?"
15055See it?
15055Should they await the attack or advance to meet it?
15055Spaniard?"
15055They have a good boat, and they may follow; but what harm could they do?"
15055This renegade has lived among both the Shawnees and Miamis and is high in their confidence, is it not so?"
15055Was he not the most trusted friend of an able man who was dreaming a great dream, a dream that would come true?
15055Was it a spirit, or was it really one of the Americans?
15055What can Quebec, Boston, New York, or Charleston be to New Orleans?
15055What could they do if a force of white men, a powerful force, armed with cannon came?"
15055What do you make uv it, Henry?"
15055What do you mean?"
15055What do you say to that little cove over thar on the west bank, Henry?"
15055What do you think?"
15055What have you been doing?
15055What is this miserable Kaintock which is springing up?
15055What kind of a house has Alvarez?"
15055What of that, Francisco Alvarez?
15055What of these things?"
15055What of this plot of yours to set the Indian tribes and a Spanish force with cannon upon Kaintock?
15055What of your intention to make distant war upon the rebel colonies and therefore commit Spain to an alliance with England?
15055What of your plan to become Governor General in place of Galvez?
15055What right have you to put this youth in chains?"
15055What was this mummery?
15055Where are your comrades?"
15055Where could they find a better friend to whom to turn than the King of Spain?
15055Where did you get the knives?"
15055Where is he staying?"
15055Who can tell?
15055Who could have thought that I should be defeated with the sword by a boy from the woods of Kaintock?"
15055Who would deserve it more than you, a man of such long travels and such great hardships in the holiest of all causes?"
15055Why has he come to New Orleans, if not to bind the red chiefs and Captain Alvarez together in such an enterprise?"
15055Why should they not?
15055Why was he a spectacle for that mob?
15055Will you go on it?
15055Will you state again the charges?
15055You are of these people who live in Kaintock, their blood is your blood; why then do you wish to have them destroyed?"
15055[ B]"Now, Paul, why in tarnation do you say that?"
15055exclaimed Paul,"did he dare that, too?"
15055he asked,"the other three who helped you to steal my boat?"
15055he exclaimed,"but in what way did they do it?
15055here, where I command?"
15055said Alvarez, who was in an exceeding good humor,"why this saturnine countenance?"
15055said Sol in a hurt tone,"an''ought n''t you to be proud o''bein''head cook on a splendiferous new gall- yun like this?
15055was it the ripple again?
15055what is it?"
39465''Where is Meek?'' 39465 And you want to go to the Rocky Mountains?"
39465Any pins?
39465Any yarn?
39465But when you were hunting for your own subsistence in camp, you sometimes went out in small parties?
39465But you were going to tell me about the buffalo hunt at Missouri Lake?
39465Ca n''t you pack him to camp?
39465Champagne, sah?
39465Do with you? 39465 Do you accept?"
39465Do you always climb a tree in that way?
39465Had he stolen any?
39465Have_ you_ come to levy on my whisky?
39465How can you expect to get what you want, if you wo nt ask for it?
39465How long will five hundred dollars last you?
39465How much does your company pay you?
39465How old are you?
39465How soon can you be ready to start?
39465I want to know what you are doing traveling on this road? 39465 Is it_ you_, Jo, who are doing this?"
39465Is n''t there a sort of wine called-- some kind of_ pain_?
39465Joe Meek is my name; but whar did your brothers know me?
39465May I inquire your name, sir?
39465Meek!--what, not the Joe Meek I have heard my brothers tell so much about?
39465My daughter?
39465Shoes?
39465Well, what did you see, Harris?
39465What do you mean by loading a gun like that?
39465What have you got in the way of goods?
39465What have you got to drink, boy?
39465What now, old man?
39465What now?
39465What shall I do, Meek,said he,"to stop that infernal noise?"
39465What sort of heart have you,he asked,"that you offer food to me, whose hands are red with your brother''s blood?"
39465What would you do with me, Rector, should I fall and break a leg, or become in any way disabled?
39465What would you do,asked Bridger,"with a gun like that, if the Indians were to charge on the camp?"
39465What''ll I do with him if he is dead?
39465Where else should they be?
39465Why did you shoot him?
39465Yes, there''s a pretty good lot of yarn, but do n''t you want some sugar? 39465 You do not need a laundress, then?
39465You have killed all our warriors,she said;"do you now want to kill the women?
39465You were not very compassionate toward each other, in the mountains?
39465You''ll furnish the cow?
39465_ Ha ko any me ca, hanch?_said Meek, starting up and addressing him in the Snake tongue.
39465_ Ka hum pa, hanch?_returned Meek, assuming a look which indicated that English was as puzzling to him, as Snake to other people.
39465''Whar?
39465''Why, Nelson,''I answered,''you would n''t have us noisy before that distinguished guest of yours?''
39465At last he asked me--"''How many men has he?''
39465At this stage of the transaction General Lane interfered sufficiently to inquire"what he expected to do with that stuff?"
39465But could he settle down?
39465But who ever dreams of the presence of a foe under such circumstances?
39465But with such clothing how could you keep free of vermin?"
39465Can you assist me?
39465Captain Newell, holding up a bag of gold- dust before the astonished eyes of his persecutors, cried out--"Do you see that gold?
39465Do not the Indian medicine men often fail to save life, to win battles, to curse their enemies?
39465Do you fancy you should give much time to lamenting the less lucky fellows who were left behind frozen, starved, or scalped?
39465Do you think I do right in asking you?
39465Do you think the Indians will take the town?"
39465Do you think we stopped to look after the fallen man?
39465Do you understand, my friends, what I last said to you?
39465Do you want to know how we got rid of lice in the mountains?
39465Had not the son of another chief, who had gone to California to buy cattle, been killed by a party of Americans, for no fault of his own?
39465Have the promises been kept, or has the violation of them caused war and bloodshed?
39465Have we been uniformly unjust?
39465Here''s your wife, who you are keeping standing here in the hot sun; why do n''t_ she_ die?
39465How can you expect that ships will come here, if they are fired on?
39465In one of his restless moods he paid a visit to Polk, who detecting the state of his mind asked laughingly----"Well, Meek, what do you want now?"
39465In such a case as this, what could a mountain- man do?
39465In that case the conversation was apt to take a turn like this:_ Carson._ Meek, let me have some money, ca n''t you?
39465In this blind way the meat is portioned off; strongly reminding one of the game of"button, button, who has the button?"
39465Last summer the pipe was given in council, and what do you think of the matter now?
39465Many a time I have stood off, looking at the fire, but not venturing to approach, when a chief would say,''Are you cold, my friend?
39465Meek?--What do you advise?"
39465People stared, then smiled, then asked each other"who is it?"
39465Said Meek to his Honor:"Why did you fine me so heavily to- day?"
39465Shall we turn American settlers?"
39465Should he not starve at trying to do what other men, mechanics and farmers, do?
39465Sitting Bull''s interpreter, Bruey, rode back to ask why the troops were following him?
39465So you''ll go?"
39465Somewhat impressed by the manner in which Meek bore this scrutiny, he ended by demanding"who are you?"
39465The Plot Thickens-- The Wolf Association-- Suspicions of the Canadians--"Who''s for a Divide?"
39465They each drew rein as they approached, Mr. Spalding immediately inquiring"what news?"
39465Turning to the colored waiter who placed it there, he startled him first by inquiring in a low growling voice--"What''s that boy?"
39465Was it at all owing to the fact that they were celibates, with no families to excite jealous feelings of comparison in the minds of their converts?
39465Was it to be wondered at, under these circumstances, that Sitting Bull and his men believed they were superior to the general government?
39465What could he do?
39465What do you expect to kill?''
39465What do you say, Meek?
39465What have you got for me to do?
39465What were a band of sixty men against a thousand armed warriors in full fighting trim, with spears, shields, bows, battle- axes, and not a few guns?
39465What wonder that the California expedition was a favorite theme by camp- fires, for a long time subsequent?
39465Where do you think all this money is to come from?"
39465Whitman?"
39465Whitman?"
39465Who''ll mend them holes in the elbow of your coat?
39465Why?
39465Would he ever, could he ever attain to it now?
39465[ Illustration: SCOUTS IN THE BLACKFOOT COUNTRY--"ELK OR INDIANS?"]
39465_ Carson._ Try the"contingent fund,"ca n''t you?
39465_ Meek._---- it, whar am I to get money from?
39465_ Reader''s query._ Was it Meek or the Marshal who so strongly disapproved of spreeing?
39465commanded Meek,"what kind of game?"
39465exclaimed Mr.----,"is that all we have for supper?"
39465exclaimed the captain,''without guns or arrows; and with only one old spear?
39465whar?''
39465what was he to do with himself in the future?
39465where could he go?
49089Where is he?
49089Another man said,"If you will go in I will go with you?"
49089Finally I said,"Well, what about it?"
49089He asked,"Who are you?"
49089He said,"Who are you?"
49089He stooped to feel for it and Brother Isaac asked,"Billy was that you shot?"
49089He then said,"Why in the hell do n''t you boys climb a tree?"
49089I said,"Have you?
49089My first thought was to wake the boys so I called out at the top of my voice,"Who are you?"
49089Nothing could be done but move on, but what was to be done with Robert''s body?
49089Smith saw them first and said to me,"Who is that?"
49089When I had got about ten steps away Fish said to Phelps,"Why do n''t you shoot him?"
49089Who are you?"
12183''Well, sir,''said the commanding officer, who overheard him,''are you afraid?'' 12183 A dream?
12183Ah, captain, what are you going to build here?
12183And do you know me also?
12183And the Puans-- are any of them left?
12183And the harvest-- how is that?
12183And what becomes of John then?
12183And where are all our people now?
12183And you can not consume them all yourselves?
12183Are you satisfied now, Plante?
12183But are we going to stop there?
12183But are we to stay here?
12183But why are not your breakfast- things washed, and your kitchen swept? 12183 Can it be possible,"said I to myself,"that this poor creature has only these scanty rags to cover her?"
12183Can we not sleep out- of- doors?
12183Can we not stop and rest for a few moments under one of the trees?
12183Could she not spare Florence on some hour of the day? 12183 Did I not tell you?"
12183Did he find the drawer open?
12183Do the Indians speak French?
12183Do you know me, Thérèse?
12183Do you not think it wiser,inquired I of a blustering young officer,"to be prepared against possible danger?"
12183Does Monsieur John pay you for bringing his family down?
12183Est- il beau?
12183Guardapié,said I,"do you intend to leave us here?"
12183Had he the means to carry him there?
12183Have you disturbed the remains of the chief''s beautiful daughter?
12183Have you seen Thomas?
12183He barked her to death once, and who knows what he may do next time?
12183How did he know it was kept there?
12183How do you say that in English?
12183How is Whip?
12183How many children?
12183How much do you pay for each one?
12183I''m Krissman; did n''t you mean, sir, that the men should have any liquor to- night?
12183Is it true,asked Louisa, one day,"that Pillon and Plante were once prairie- wolves?"
12183Is not this charming?
12183Is she dead, then?
12183Is that woman a''Winnebago''?
12183Is the mill at work?
12183Is there no place,inquired the traveller,"where I can obtain a lodging?"
12183Listen,said the boy, as a second note answered the first;"do you hear that?"
12183Louis Frum_ dit_ Manaigre-- is he living?
12183No; do you not see we are going back to the fort?
12183Now?
12183Oh I madame,said the poor little girl, her teeth chattering with cold and fright,"wo n''t we be drowned?"
12183Or is it that you are fasting? 12183 Pray, ma''am,"said she,"what are these things put in here for?"
12183Should you like to go and see your father and mother,said he to me, one morning,"and show them how the West agrees with you?"
12183So unexpected-- so unprepared for?
12183Soldier,cried I,"will you run to the young officers''quarters and ask Dr. Finley to come here for a moment?"
12183The Indians? 12183 This water looks very deep-- are you sure we can cross it on horseback?"
12183Tshah- ko- zhah?
12183Was the key in the drawer?
12183Well, Krissman, how do you like the service?
12183What are we to do, then? 12183 What are you going to do?"
12183What do they mean by this? 12183 What do you think about it?"
12183What does this mean?
12183What have you there?
12183What is that for?
12183What is that, Walter? 12183 What is that?"
12183What is that?
12183What is the matter with him? 12183 What is the meaning of these two sticks that remain?"
12183What then do you do with them?
12183What would my friends at the East think,said I to myself,"if they could see me now?
12183Where are the rest of the cakes, Louisa?
12183Where can you put us for the night?
12183Where is my husband?
12183Where is the Shaw- nee- aw- kee?
12183Where is your granddaughter? 12183 Where is your lodge?"
12183Who are you?
12183Who are you?
12183Who is there? 12183 Who knows,"said he, gravely,"but they may be lurking in this neighborhood yet?
12183Who''s dead?
12183Whose cabins are these?
12183Why does he call you Shee- shee- banze, and invite you to visit Way- gee- mar- kin?
12183Why had she not asked her mother''s leave before carrying it away?
12183Will you trust yourself alone over the river?
12183Yes,said the man;"do you talk English?"
12183Yes,was the reply, and, after a few moments''silence,"do you not hear a rustling among the branches of the tree yonder?"
12183_ Comment se portent Madame Rolette et les enfans?_( How are Mrs. Rolette and the children?)
12183_ Comment se portent Madame Rolette et les enfans?_( How are Mrs. Rolette and the children?)
12183_ Eh bien_--have they finished the new house?
12183_ Et comment se porte Madame la Chatte_?
12183_ Et la cheminée, fume- t- elle?_( Does the chimney smoke?)
12183_ Et la cheminée, fume- t- elle?_( Does the chimney smoke?)
12183_ Et tous les petits Chatons_?
12183''Halloo,''said I,''what on earth does this mean?''
12183( And all the kittens?)
12183( How is the mother cat?)
12183( My dear Mr. Cat, how do you do?)
12183( What is it?)
12183( What is it?)
12183As I addressed her with my ordinary phrase,"_ Tshah- ko- zhah_?"
12183BOURGEOIS.--Ou est- ce qu''il est?
12183But do you know a very strange thing has happened since you were here?
12183Can you take us across?"
12183Catharine,"said I,"will you run over and ask Dr. Finley to come here a moment?
12183Could it be that one of the squaws had stolen it?
12183Could they have been stolen by the Indians?
12183Could we be sufficiently grateful to that kind Providence that had brought us safely through such dangers?
12183Did I not tell you I wished you to come up and learn your lessons?"
12183Did not we find your blanket there?
12183Did the father ever send a thought or an inquiry after the fate of his child, or of the young being whose life he had rendered dark and desolate?
12183Do you not see we shall all be killed?"
12183Do you remember me?"
12183Do you think there is any chance?''
12183Doyle entered, and, addressing Lieutenant Foster, said,"Will you please tell me, lieutenant, what I am confined for?"
12183Had the rogues been trying to cheat them, by putting these strange nondescripts into their place?
12183Has not Kilgour given out your rations?"
12183Have you forgotten Madame John, who taught you to read-- you and all the little girls at the Portage?"
12183Have you heard it?"
12183Have you heard some good news?"
12183He said to me,''Do you think they will take our lives?
12183How do you do?]
12183How do you dos?"
12183How do you like her?"
12183How is your sister?"
12183I approached the subject cautiously, with an inquiry to this effect:"Are there none among the officers who are religiously disposed?"
12183I could not but suggest the inquiry, when these sad particulars were narrated to me,--"Mother, is it not possible this might have been a dream?"
12183I felt a strong sympathy with the child, which was increased when the little spokeswoman, in answer to my inquiry,"Has he no father?"
12183If we decided to take the trail, should we go north or south?
12183Is it not better to take it for granted that I can do what you and others of your sex have done?"
12183Is it that you are mourning for the friends you have lost in battle?"
12183It was question and answer, like Cock Robin:"Who can mend the harness?"
12183Jumping off the canal- boat upon the lock, he ran up to the first man he met, and, thrusting forward his face, cried out,"Talk Eengeesh?"
12183Kinzie?"
12183La branche a cassé-- CHORUS.--Michaud a tombé?
12183Madame Kinzie, who do you think has come?
12183My husband, smiling and taking up the same little tone, cried, in return,--"Do you wish to look at yourself, mother?"
12183On the journey, the question naturally addressed to them by people not familiar with Western Indians was,--"Do you talk English?"
12183Only one year ago I travelled it, and can I forget so soon?
12183She welcomed us very cordially, but to our inquiry,"Can you accommodate us?"
12183Should he go now, and bring his daughter the next time he came?"
12183Should they return to the Portage for supplies?
12183Sometimes a dialogue like the following occurs:"How many have you in your lodge?"
12183The Agent lays aside two sticks"How many women?"
12183The Indian carefully, and with great ceremony, counts his bundle of sticks--"Fifteen""How many men?"
12183The question was, who would hazard his own life to bring them to a place of safety?
12183There my husband insisted on my putting on dry shoes and stockings, and( must I confess it?)
12183There were the original bodies, it is true, but where were their manes and tails?
12183They appeared greatly relieved when Mr. Kinzie addressed them in the Pottowattamie language,--"What are you doing here?"
12183They did not love the Americans-- why should they?
12183They greeted their Father with vociferous joy--"_Bon- jour, bon- jour, Shaw- nee- aw- kee_,""_ Hee- nee- kar- ray- kay- noo?_"( how do you do?)
12183They greeted their Father with vociferous joy--"_Bon- jour, bon- jour, Shaw- nee- aw- kee_,""_ Hee- nee- kar- ray- kay- noo?_"( how do you do?)
12183True, but they were on horseback-- the difficulty was, could we get the carriage through?
12183We were continually startled by the crashing of the falling trees around us, and who could tell but that the next would be upon us?
12183What are you doing there?"
12183What can you do?"
12183What could be imagined more enchanting?
12183What could be the matter?
12183What could it mean?
12183What could they be?
12183What does that mean?"
12183What for you kill M. Rolette''s calf?
12183What is it?"
12183What is it?"
12183What shall I do?
12183What should we do?
12183What should we gain by changing ourselves into white men?
12183What then?
12183What was to be done with the bones?
12183What was to be done?
12183What was to be done?
12183What were we about to hear?"
12183What will he think of us?"
12183What would become of us should we fail to do so?
12183What would poor old Mrs. Welsh say?
12183What?
12183When Captain Wells, who was fighting near, beheld it, he exclaimed,--"Is that their game, butchering the women and children?
12183When are they coming, that I may be let out?"
12183When attacked by General Stillman''s detachment, they defended themselves like men; and I would ask, who would not do so, likewise?
12183When the invitation was brought to the red fox, he inquired,"What are you going to have for supper?"
12183Where is he?
12183Where?"
12183Who among our people there are living?"
12183Who are_ you_?"
12183Who knew if we should ever meet again?
12183Who''s dead?"
12183Why did they not come?
12183Why do you ask such a foolish question?"
12183Why do you ask?"
12183Why have you blackened your faces?
12183Will you give me the whiskey at all events?"
12183Will you take a ride on my shoulders?"
12183You have no market?"
12183You remember that-- Manaigre having two names?"
12183for what, then, were you hired?"
12183grandmother,"cried he,"is this the way you keep watch?"
12183have I been making myself at home in this manner in a private family?"
12183mon bourgeois,"would the light- hearted Canadian reply,"would I tell you this is the road if I were not quite certain?
12183mon cher Monsieur le Chat: comment vous portez- vous_?"
12183was it possible there were snakes at Fort Winnebago?"
12183what could it portend?
12183what is that?
12183what would Monsieur Johns say, to see you nows?"
12183what?
12183what?
12183who can wonder that they do not love the whites?
12183why did we tell him so suddenly?
28514About what?
28514And I suppose I''m not to contaminate them?
28514And do you know where it will lead?
28514And then what?
28514And then?
28514And what do you intend doing about it?
28514And who comes next?
28514And who next?
28514And why not?
28514And you prefer keeping him stuck out here on the prairie?
28514And you went all that way through the mud and rain, just to tell me?
28514Are n''t you forgetting somebody very important?
28514Are n''t you going to kiss me good- by?
28514Are n''t you making it rather hard for me?
28514Are n''t you rather double- crossing yourself?
28514Are n''t you rather tired to- night?
28514Are n''t you, under the circumstances, being rather stupidly clever?
28514Are you flattering me with the inference that I was cut out for better things?
28514Are you going to?
28514Are you quite sure, Mrs. McKail, that you do understand?
28514Are you sure?
28514Bud,I said as I loped along beside him,"why have n''t you ever married?"
28514But can you, some day?
28514But how am I to know that?
28514But in your own life, Dinkie, in your work and your play, in your school, isn''t-- isn''t there_ somebody_?
28514But is it possible to ride two horses?
28514But is n''t that a hard and bitter way of writing life down to one''s own level?
28514But what are you getting out of it?
28514But what is all this leading up to?
28514But what is it you want me to do?
28514But what will happen to_ me_, if you do that?
28514But what,I inquired,"has Gershom got to do with it?"
28514But where will I get the hoops?
28514But why do you want them changed?
28514But why should we sell that?
28514But will it all go on, forever and forever and forever?
28514But you''re upset?
28514By whom?
28514Ca n''t you see they''re all wrong?
28514Can you hear me now?
28514Could what?
28514Did n''t Dinkie come to school this morning?
28514Did that pup sleep on your bed last night?
28514Did you hear me say that no dog was to sleep in this house?
28514Dinkie laughed?
28514Dinkie,I said, with my hand on his tousled young head,"whom do you love best in all the world?"
28514Dinky- Dunk,I said after a particularly long silence between us,"what is it you want me to do?"
28514Dinky- Dunk,I said with a perfectly straight face as we climbed in,"what is it gives me such a mysterious influence over men?"
28514Do about what?
28514Do you mean to say that Rowdy is_ dead_?
28514Do you mean you struck that child?
28514Do you mean, Dinky- Dunk,I finally asked,"that you want your freedom?"
28514Do you understand what that means?
28514Do you want him?
28514Do you want me to go to Calgary?
28514Does Dinkie know?
28514Does n''t that impress you as rather cheaply theatrical?
28514Does n''t the beaver regard it as necessary to dam his home before he considers it fit to live in?
28514Feeling a bit larkier than usual this morning, are n''t you?
28514Have I changed?
28514Have n''t you done enough along that line?
28514How about daddy?
28514How about me?
28514How about my bald spot?
28514How are you going back?
28514How long will I have to wait?
28514How?
28514I do n''t suppose you can see it from my side of the fence?
28514I suppose you''re trying to make me feel like the Wicked Uncle edging away from the abandoned Babes in the Woods?
28514In what way?
28514In what way?
28514Is he all right?
28514Is he all right?
28514Is he all right?
28514Is n''t it about time for him there?
28514Is n''t it enough?
28514Is n''t it quite simple now?
28514Is n''t that the way you regard it?
28514Is n''t there somebody, somebody else you are especially fond of?
28514Is she that wonderful?
28514Is that all you can say about it?
28514Is that any better?
28514Is that clear to_ you_?
28514Is there anything abnormal in my feeling the way I do?
28514It''s hell, is n''t it, being a woman?
28514Just what do you mean by that?
28514Must I explain?
28514Safety from what?
28514Save you?
28514Saw what?
28514So this has started again?
28514That''s exactly what I was going to ask?
28514Then how about the old Harris Ranch?
28514Then how do you propose to end it?
28514Then it impresses you as a mistake?
28514Then what happened?
28514Then what is it you want?
28514Then what is the new one?
28514Then what''s prompting all the heroics?
28514Then why cross our bridges,I suggested,"until we come to them?"
28514Then why not get the hoops around?
28514Then you''ll come?
28514There''s-- there''s nothing happened, has there?
28514To understand what?
28514To whom are you describing the home circle?
28514To whom?
28514Was n''t that your intention?
28514Well, do n''t you?
28514What are you going to do?
28514What are you going to do?
28514What did Dinkie say?
28514What did he do?
28514What did he say?
28514What do we know of the New World,she parodied in her last letter that came to me,"who only the old East know?"
28514What do you know about my intentions?
28514What do you mean by that?
28514What do you mean by that?
28514What does that mean?
28514What for?
28514What has happened?
28514What is going to happen? 28514 What is it?"
28514What is it?
28514What is it?
28514What is your name, little boy?
28514What makes you feel that way?
28514What makes you think I do n''t love him?
28514What secret?
28514What were you going to say?
28514What would you do about it?
28514What would you do about it?
28514What would you suggest?
28514What you love about me?
28514What''ll there be to hold me up, when you''re the only man in all this world who can keep my barrel of happiness from going slap- bang to pieces? 28514 What''s a bald spot compared to a bob- cat of a temper like mine?"
28514What''s the matter?
28514What?
28514When I suppose you''d rather see me cleverly stupid?
28514Where are you now?
28514Where did you come from?
28514Where will I find Mr. McKail''s secretary?
28514Where will we be?
28514Where would you prefer going?
28514Where''s Dinkie?
28514Where''s Dinkie?
28514Where''s Elmer?
28514Where''s that boy?
28514Where?
28514Where?
28514Who found him?
28514Who?
28514Whose children are they?
28514Why are you going back to your husband?
28514Why do n''t you ask that school- teacher of yours?
28514Why do you live with a man you do n''t love?
28514Why for Dinkie''s sake?
28514Why not?
28514Why not?
28514Why?
28514Why?
28514Why?
28514Will you come?
28514Would n''t it be fairer-- for the two of us-- now? 28514 Would n''t you regard this as living?"
28514Ye winna leave me for a'', laddie?
28514You ca n''t expect me to turn a cart- wheel, surely, every time I remember it?
28514You do n''t suppose I ca n''t see that that beanpole''s fallen in love with you?
28514You mean you ca n''t even tell your own Mummy?
28514You''d do that?
28514_ How_ did he interfere?
28514Am I turning into nothing more than a mush of concession?
28514And again the silence was so prolonged that I had to cut in and ask:"Are you there?"
28514And am I harming him, without knowing it, in keeping him here under my wing?
28514And are the pussy- willows showing in the slough- ends?
28514And at Alabama Ranch?
28514And did n''t old Doctor Johnson say that peevishness was the vice of narrow minds?
28514And how long can this sort of thing go on?
28514And should I trust myself, in a matter like this, to my own feelings?
28514And what business is it, after all, of mine?
28514And what could be more glorious than the death of Wolfe as I see it through my little Dinkie''s eyes?
28514And what will be the end of it?
28514And why does n''t Peter Ketley ever write to me?
28514And----""And?"
28514But I wonder why, Oh, why, You stay so far from me?
28514But am I a good mother?
28514But how can a mother keep from worrying?
28514But instead of that Duncan''s voice asked:"Where is he?"
28514But what difference does it make?
28514Did n''t Percy even once denominate me as"a window- dresser"?
28514For I''ve found your Dinkie and----""You''ve found Dinkie?"
28514For who lives happy ever afterward?
28514Have I, or have I not, conceded too much?
28514Have n''t I been bribed by comfort, and blinded to a situation which I am now almost afraid to face?
28514Have n''t I been selfishly scheming for the welfare of my children and endangering all their future and my own by the price I am paying?
28514How much more can I concede?
28514I sat at the piano last night playing"What''s this dull town to me, Robin Adair?"
28514I wonder if Dinky- Dunk is right in his implication that I am getting hard?
28514I wonder if spring is coming to Casa Grande?
28514If it''s made to be bitter, why not accept the bitterness, and let it go at that?
28514If these are the small things, then what are the big things of life?
28514Is it you, Dinkie?"
28514O blue- bird, happy robbin-- Who teached those birds to stick theirselves together?
28514So I strove to give my interrogation an air of the casual by offhandedly inquiring:"How''s Rowdy, Hilton?"
28514What did we talk about?
28514What difference does_ anything_ make?
28514What ever_ has_ happened?"
28514What has indeed come into my life?...
28514What is it that other women get?
28514What''s the use of worrying, anyway?
28514What----?"
28514What_ has_ happened to me, out here on the prairie?
28514Who gived them all the eggs with little birdies in them?
28514Who gived them all the fetthers on their brest?
28514Who teached them how to com home in the dark?
28514Who teached them how to hold tight on the tree tops?
28514Who teached them how to make the shells so blue?
28514Who teached them how to put their tails on?
28514Why ca n''t we be either completely happy or completely the other way?
28514Why must wretchedness come sandwiched in between slices of hope and contentment, and why must happiness be haunted by some ghostly echo of pain?
28514Without being quite awake I went down to the door in my night- gown, and opened it, and called out into the darkness:"Is anybody there?
28514Would n''t it be cleaner?"
28514_ Tuesday the Sixteenth_ Why is life so tangled up?
28514he demanded,"Where?"
37688All well at home, Quigley?
37688And what if there should be no trial, Winn?
37688And what possible excuse or explanation have you, sir? 37688 And, after all, what matters it now?
37688And-- of late-- what have you heard of him?
37688Barclay-- Barclay, you say?
37688Buffstick? 37688 But-- how?--why?"
37688Can you guide us by the shortest route from here to the trail you spoke of to Captain Barclay?
37688Can you think of anything we ought to do?
37688Captain Barclay,she faltered,"here?
37688D''ye remember Pigott, that little cad that was court- martialled at San Antonio in''68 for quintuplicating his pay accounts? 37688 Do you suppose-- he could have accepted it from-- Captain Barclay?"
37688Does he know Captain Barclay, do you think?
37688Has it come?
37688Has the sergeant told you?
37688Home,said Blythe, sadly:"what home has a child whose kith and kin are all of the army?
37688Hullo, lad,he hailed, full twenty paces away,"what luck?
37688Hwat d''ye warrnt of the meejor, Winn?
37688Hwat time will we make Crockett''s, major?
37688Hwat''s ahl the lucre, I say?
37688I ca n''t decline the commanding officer''s invitation, can I, sir?
37688In God''s name, man, what''s happened?
37688Is he larnin''his thrade from Lawrence, afther robbin''him av his throop?
37688Is n''t she just stunning?
37688Is n''t she simply superb?
37688It wo n''t put you out in any way?
37688Major, may I send a man or two out in that direction?
37688Now what''s that woman taking Ada Lawrence there for?
37688Now, what are you philosophizing about?
37688On his way here? 37688 Ride with us a moment, wo n''t you, Barclay?"
37688The paymaster, or the captain?
37688Then what is to become of mine?
37688Tough? 37688 Well, of all the----""Of all the what?"
37688What am I to say to Colonel Frazier, sir?
37688What can one do or say?
37688What did that blackguard say?
37688What do you see?
37688What is it, Brooks, me boy?
37688What is it, sergeant?
37688What is it? 37688 What''s amiss?
37688Where did this occur, and when did you return, sir?
37688Who is Buffstick?
37688Will you think me very rude?
37688Winn gone?
37688Wrong? 37688 You and Barclay lead on, will you, Ned?"
37688You do n''t mean a letter from--_him_?
37688You struck him-- with what?
37688You tell them there''s nothing much the matter, will you?
37688You think he ought not to have come?
37688Admitting that Lawrence had been grievously wronged,"whose fault was it?"
37688And what was that rider''s fate?
37688Any luck, sir?"
37688Brayton?"
37688Brevets of course he had, but what are brevets but empty title?
37688But had his trouble so weighed upon him that he really welcomed the possible coming of the end?
37688But how, said they to each other, as they went gloomily away, was that other to be"fixed"?
37688But the question is, ought I not to make poor Lawrence understand that it''s a gone case?
37688Ca n''t something be done?"
37688Ca n''t you let me mount from my back porch here and amble around these fine mornings before people are up?"
37688Ca n''t you see?
37688Did Mr. Hodge know surely about Mr. Barclay''s wealth?
37688Does Winn know?"
37688Gentlemen, do you know you simply invite an apoplectic seizure by sitting down to dinner in a tightly buttoned uniform coat?
37688Had she dreamed it possible that he would follow?
37688Have I the honor of addhressin''Captain Barclay?"
37688He was, and would Mrs. Winn be pleased to ride?
37688Her father had always supported her in style; why could n''t Harry do the same?
37688Hodge?"
37688How could he tell Barclay that he thought Winn''s love and faith in his wife were dead and gone?
37688How could he tell him that Winn would touch no dollar of the money until he had first met and satisfied another claim?
37688How does he propose to pay it?"
37688How much did Barclay think it wurrth, Winn?"
37688I can keep my old quarters a month, ca n''t I?"
37688I''ll go at once to the store.--Brayton, will you come with me?"
37688Is he here?"
37688Is there no way in which scouts could gallop across our left and give warning to those fellows?"
37688Lawrence was as good a soldier as we had in the 12th, and, yet, what can you do or say?
37688Let Captain Barclay hold you?
37688May I be excused?
37688Meantime, what were wife and baby and other claimants to do?
37688Not five minutes later Mrs. Frazier turned to Mrs. Faulkner and asked,"What was Laura Winn showing you?--a letter?"
37688Now, once more, will you come or not?"
37688Oh, why did n''t Mr. Winn come home?
37688On some things the board was disposed to dare regulations and raps on the knuckles, and to let Winn off on several others; but what was the use?
37688Should it have been permitted, had there been any one to prevent, in view of the fact that no longer was there soldier duty to lead him on?
37688Tell me, is-- is his life so changed as-- as they say it is?"
37688Then, seizing Winn by the arm,"What d''ye mean?"
37688Then,"Is n''t there anything I can do?"
37688Was he only just beginning to know her, after all?
37688Was it all true?
37688Was it worth what might befall those motherless children, praying for father hour after hour that livelong day?
37688Was it-- a far more charitable thought-- in search of Harry she had gone?
37688We''ll overhaul that scoundrel before he can reach the settlements, unless----""But what is wrong?
37688What business had he had to woo her if he was so poor?
37688What could have been her object?
37688What could they do?
37688What could warrant such-- such conduct?"
37688What did that mean, if not that he deemed her guilty?
37688What do you suppose they''ll do with him in the--th?"
37688What does--_he_ say?"
37688What else could one expect of her?
37688What else had her mother been before her?
37688What good did it do to stay over there and worry?
37688What had he to write to her about, unless it was to ask her to ride or something of the kind?
37688What had we better do, Lawrence?"
37688What has Winn to do with it?"
37688What mattered it?
37688What might not be accomplished by such a matron and such dear girls under such exceptional circumstances?
37688What ought he to do?
37688What profiteth it a man to be called colonel if he have only the pay of a sub?
37688What right had he to ask her to be his wife?
37688What right had he to subject her to the annoyance of dunning letters, of suggestive inquiries on the part of her neighbors?
37688What right had he to use one cent of this money for any purpose whatever, when another day might be his last?
37688What was he to live on, and so insure payment of which his death would destroy all possibility?
37688What would my apologies be worth?
37688What''s amiss?"
37688What''s his offence?
37688What''s to become, though, of that poor child Ada and his little boy?"
37688When would they get through?
37688Where are you going-- with your revolver, too?
37688Where is your message?"
37688Which had been longest outstanding?
37688Which ought to be paid first?
37688Who is he?"
37688Who next?
37688Who was it that came leaping to her aid as she felt herself again dragged under in that swirling eddy?
37688Whose voice was it that rang upon her drowning ears?
37688Why do you ask?"
37688Why should she, whose tastes, she said, were so much more refined, be mated with one who could only spend?
37688Will you let Winn ride with me as far as Castle Peak?
37688With awe- stricken faces and compressed lips they looked into each other''s eyes, as though to ask, What next?
37688Would she miss him?
37688You had your arm in a sling six long months, did n''t you?
37688You heard it at once, did n''t you?
37688You were there?
37688but hwat''s the cavalry comin''to?"
37688he cried, breaking suddenly off,"what''s all the light about down at the sutler''s?
37688what should he do with this money?
37688what''s happened?"
47262''Ca n''t you drink it?'' 47262 How about the narrow escapes, Captain?"
47262How do you follow a hall at home in the dark? 47262 How much trip before last?"
47262How on earth am I going to learn it, then?
47262Was it worse than going into battle?
47262Why do they not go out and pick out the best men and hire them in a business- like and Christian- like manner?
47262(?
47262And the bankers?
47262Are they clean?
47262But the one question he had to answer, and answer quickly, was:"Will you take it?"
47262But why was n''t it thought of fifty years ago?
47262Chapter XIV_ Early Pilots_"How did the first steamboats find their way up the hundreds of miles of water heretofore unbroken by steam- driven wheel?"
47262Had she a"Texas", or no"Texas"?
47262Had she trimmings on her smokestack, or about the pilot house, and if so of what description?
47262He said:"''What is a person to do here when he wants a drink of water?
47262His answer to the query as to"what is the man in the little house on top of the boat doing?"
47262How could this banker who had come among them for their good, have acquired this money by any other than legitimate transactions?
47262How did he become possessed of all this wealth?
47262How far can you see by such a light?
47262It may be and was asked by Eastern people, unused to river life,"Why do the men submit to such treatment?
47262Then, when his chief asks suddenly:"How much water was there on the middle crossing at Beef Slough last trip"?
47262Was it the savings of years?
47262Was she a side- wheel or stern- wheel?
47262Was she large or small?
47262Were the outside blinds painted white, red, or green?
47262What conditions determine the speed of two boats, all observable terms being equal?
47262What did the young steamboatman see on his voyage from Cairo to Galena in 1823?
47262What is a captain for, if not to run his boat, no matter if everybody else is against him?
47262What man is there among the whites who would not fight under such circumstances?
47262What was the sound of her whistle and bell?
47262What would an old- time bartender have thought of that?
47262When the boy had begun to take on airs as a pilot, his chief suddenly fired the question:"What is the shape of Walnut Bend?"
47262Why do they not throw the mate into the river?"
47262drink this slush?''
48284Is it possible,said he,"that your people believe the Bible?"
48284To their insolent query,''Imme- cotch na- vaggi?'' 48284 ( Ai n''t you afraid? 48284 ), he replied with admirable presence of mind,''Why should we be afraid of our friends? 48284 Are not the Navajos our friends, and we theirs? 48284 Are you not afraid?
48284Do you know?"
48284Else why did we place ourselves in your power?''
48284He asked,"Why?"
48284I asked,"What is there to scare me?"
48284I said to the company,"What shall we do?"
48284I took hold of them, at the same time saying to our Piute interpreter,"These are in my way; what shall I do with them?"
48284Or shall we look for you to come prowling around our weak settlements, like wolves at night?
48284Replying in the affirmative, they asked,"What do you know about him?"
48284Said I,"What do you mean by that?"
48284Said he:"Who told you that I wanted to kill you?"
48284Shall I obligate the Church to pay three hundred and fifty head of cattle for a crime committed by others?
48284That we may expect to live in peace, live as friends, and trade with one another?
48284The answer was,"What can we do, only lay the body on the ground and leave it?"
48284The query came to my mind: How shall I know whether or not these things are so, and be satisfied?
48284The question was asked me,"What are you going to do?"
48284Under the trying circumstances, it was a serious question; and the query was an earnest one with us all,"What can we do?"
48284Unless the Lord was with us, what were we to do with all these against us?
48284What about the promise, now the creek is dry?
48284What do you want to last you home?"
48284What has made such a sudden change?
48284What have they said about me?"
48284What shall I tell my people, the''Mormons,''when I return home?
48284What will we do for something to eat next winter?"
16869''Oh death, where is thy sting? 16869 A Huron Indian?
16869A bullet struck you?
16869Ai n''t dere notting else to tell him?
16869Ai n''t hurt, eh? 16869 And I suppose you do not wish me to eat of them?"
16869And I suppose you find occasion to use them all?
16869And are the Shawnees upon Fluellina''s trail?
16869And breaks mine own neck, too, eh?
16869And did you make dem pieces of bark to come swimming down by me?
16869And is their baby, too?
16869And shtirred de water wid yer hand and moved de limb?
16869And vot will become of me?
16869And what did he say?
16869And what of the gal?
16869And when did they-- the Shawnees-- go away?
16869And when saw you the Shawnees?
16869Are they all sound asleep-- your Lily and children?
16869Are you a prisoner, also?
16869But Keeway-- your wife?
16869But what am I about?
16869But where is it?
16869But will your Lily allow me to depart?
16869But you_ expect_ to rescue her, do you not?
16869But, as there were no evidences of a storm coming very soon, why should you get in there just now?
16869Ca n''t you tell me more precisely than that?
16869Ca n''t you think as well while you''re_ fishing_?
16869Can any of these around me understand English?
16869Can he not go with Fluellina to- day?
16869Cato go with us?
16869Certainly-- you have been there and back you said, did n''t you?
16869De gal? 16869 Dey burnt de place, I shpose?"
16869Did I growl at you?
16869Did n''t t''ink Cato was afeard, Massa Canfield?
16869Did she send Niniotan for him?
16869Did you drop down out te clouds?
16869Did you see anything more of Miss Mary?
16869Do I look like one?
16869Do n''t you know me, Cato?
16869Do n''t''spect none of dem Injines will be back here?
16869Do you feel sleepy, Cato?
16869Do you want to know''bout her?
16869Does he know Oonomoo?
16869Does n''t t''ink I''s_ afeard_?
16869Does you know Oonomoo?
16869Friends or foes?
16869From which direction do you think they come?
16869Had you no warning of their approach?
16869Has Fluellina the choicest food these forests can afford?
16869Has he a wife and family?
16869Has the Moravian missionary given Niniotan two tongues that he should think Oonomoo speaks idle words?
16869Have you ever been there yourself?
16869Have you told me when you built this house of yours?
16869Have you, indeed?
16869Her mother? 16869 How are you going to get her?"
16869How came you here?
16869How came you to wander so far out of your way as to get here?
16869How did you get them in these different places? 16869 How did you get wet?"
16869How do you do, brother?
16869How do you know, Cato, that this was the reason she remained behind?
16869How does matters progress with my brother?
16869How far are we from the Shawnee village?
16869How fur does you live from here-- dat is, how fur did you live?
16869How gets along our prisoner?
16869How long will it take Niniotan to guide Oonomoo there?
16869How should I know? 16869 How soon go back?"
16869How was it Miss Mary remained behind?
16869How was it that_ you_ escaped?
16869How would you like to go there?
16869How- de- do, brudder?

16869No trouble, I trust?
16869No, no, Oonomoo, you need n''t be afraid--"Afraid who?
16869None of Captain Prescott''s family were in the house besides Mary, were they?
16869Not yours?
16869Notting to send to Lieutenant Canfield, eh?

16869What are_ you_ going to do?
16869What brings you thus far in the woods?
16869What do you want, Oonomoo?
16869What does she there?
16869What in the name of creation is the meaning of that concern, and what sort of animal is caged in it?
16869What is it?
16869What is it?
16869What is the matter with him?
16869What is the matter?
16869What possible motive could influence him to risk his life in my rescue?
16869What think the missionary of Niniotan?
16869What time''spect him?
16869What was the first thing you heard, Cato? 16869 What will become of them?"
16869What ye want to do dat ar?
16869What ye''scussin''ob my name for?
16869What you going to do, my dear frau?
16869What''s the matter, Hans? 16869 What''s the matter?"
16869When are we to go to the Shawnee village?
16869When did Fluellina and my son leave their home on the island in the water?
16869When did dey took her?
16869When did you see Annie Stanton last?
16869When has Fluellina seen the Moravian missionary?
16869When will he return again?
16869When will we rescue her from the dogs-- the Shawnees?
16869Where be Niniotan?
16869Where did it hit you?
16869Where in dunderation did dey come from?
16869Where is Fluellina hid?
16869Where is Fluellina''s hand?
16869Where is Niniotan?
16869Where is he? 16869 Where''d you come from, Oonomoo?"
16869Where''s mine pipe?
16869Where''s the girl? 16869 Where?
16869Who cares, sis? 16869 Who has come?
16869Who is it that supports them now and takes care of them? 16869 Who ish dat friend?"
16869Who might be you wid your big bread- basket?
16869Who?
16869Why I build dat? 16869 Why did you build such a looking concern as that?"
16869Why no marry den?
16869Why wo n''t he? 16869 Why would it be a good thing?"
16869Why, what do you mean, my friend? 16869 Why, what''s the matter?"
16869Will we bofe git on de hoss?
16869Will you answer it?
16869Wo n''t get her?
16869Would it not be best to move to prevent discovery?
16869Would it not be best to take a look outside and see whether there is any danger of our being discovered?
16869Yes, I do; but, why in the name of common sense did you set up such a growling when I came near your old cabin?
16869You ai n''t agoin''to leab me here, be you?
16869You does n''t t''ink de baby will dies, does you?
16869You ishn''t ashleep bees you?
16869You know how to dig, I presume?
16869You know the way?
16869You say my brave Hans let her go, eh? 16869 You sick too?"
16869You understand, Cato? 16869 You washn''t left all alone?"
16869You''re Hans Vanderbum, eh? 16869 _ And none shall ever hang there again._""Not the scalp of the Shawnee?"
16869_ The Shawnees have discovered the home of Oonomoo!_"And where is Fluellina?
16869''What you doing, Mose?''
16869And how is my dear father and mother and sister Helen?"
16869And what did she say?"
16869Are we going to stand by and let him do it alone, when for twenty years he has worked night and day for us?"
16869Are you sick?"
16869Are you unharmed?"
16869Brushing the luxuriant hair from the face of the dying Indian, the preacher said:"Oonomoo, is there anything I can do for you?"
16869But what reason could he have had for rearing such a structure?
16869Can I do anything to relieve your pain?"
16869Carry them there yourself?"
16869Did you expect to meet him in this place?"
16869Did you get many?"
16869Do n''t you b''lieve dey did?"
16869Do n''t you see dem Injines dar?"
16869Do you know him too?
16869Do you know whether there is a spade or shovel lying about?"
16869Do you suppose that_ I_ could ever remunerate him for the happiness he has brought_ me_?"
16869Does n''t you fink I does?"
16869Eh?
16869Great was his amazement, therefore, when, instead of rebukes and blows, she came smilingly forward and asked:"Has my husband been sick?"
16869Had n''t you better goes out, my dear, good, kind Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock, and see vot it is?"
16869Have n''t I you left?
16869He who appeared to be the leading warrior now asked:"Whither does my brother Huron wish to go?"
16869Here he is working himself to skin and bone-- Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock, ai n''t you got dat cooked?"
16869How did you got here?"
16869I see''d Miss Mary----""Did they harm her?"
16869I would shust like to know if dere ishn''t some feller dat is in love mit you, and you is in love mit, and dat both ish in love mit each oder, eh?"
16869Ishn''t dat breakfast ready, my dear wife?"
16869Know what Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock means?"
16869Looking sternly at the two, he asked, in a threatening voice:"Which of you put dat powder in mine meerschaum, eh?
16869Oder Injines_ mought_ be around dese parts and would n''t it be a good idee to git in de woods whar dey would n''t be so apt to see us?"
16869See here, men,"said he, turning around,"Oonomoo''s wife is in danger, and are we going to help her out or not, eh?
16869Shall I call him?"
16869The quick eye of the Huron had caught a glimpse of the girl behind the Dutchman, and he now came up and addressed her:"Is my friend''fraid?"
16869The young soldier continued musing for a moment and then asked:"How far from here is the settlement to which Mrs. Prescott has gone?"
16869Vot do you t''ink of yourself?"
16869Vot does you t''ink will become of you, disgracing your parents in this manner?
16869Wal, you see I and Big Mose had just gwane to bed and blowed de candle out----""Had Miss Mary retired?"
16869Whar''d you want thar graves?"
16869What caused one hand to close over his knife, and the other to grasp his rifle?
16869What kindled the fire in his dark eye?
16869What made ye ax me dat queshun?"
16869What possible purpose could it serve him?
16869What sign caught the notice of Oonomoo?
16869What you ax?"
16869What''s that?"
16869When did you put those logs together, Cato?"
16869Where am dey?"
16869Where ish your parents?"
16869Where''s the pale- faced captive?"
16869Who cares?
16869Who is it that does that?
16869Who you talking about-- Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock?"
16869Why did you not go?"
16869Why do n''t you come to the arms of your father, sis, and let him hug you?"
16869Why do you speak of him in that manner?"
16869Will you go with me?"
16869Will you see him?"
16869You going now?"
16869Your wife is in danger, eh?
16869[ Illustration:"Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock, ai n''t you got dat cooked?"]
16869ai n''t dem two talkin'', and ca n''t I frow in an obserwashun once in a while, eh?"
16869ai n''t you an Injine, Massa Canfield?"
16869alone?"

16869dat you, ole swill- barrel?"
16869did n''t I hear her tell Missis so?"
16869is that you, my good, kind Oonomoo?"
16869ish it pizen?"
16869on the rock?"
16869vot do you t''ink of yourself, eh?
16869vot made tat tree fall on me?"
16869what are you talking about?"
16869what did he say?
16869what have we here?"
16869what is it?"
16869what makes you fink so, old hogsit, eh?
16869what''d you ax that fur?"
16869when shall I see him?
16869which of you done dat, eh?"
16869who are you?"
16869will you not stay by me?"
16869you does n''t know, eh?"
26011And has my husband acknowledged that his happiness and his future remain in your hands?
26011And how''ll you hide a car of that size on the open prairie?
26011And it''s gone?
26011And she''s on her way out here?
26011And this belated visit to your wife and children, I presume, is also for business purposes?
26011And what did you think of that shack?
26011And what''s your business?
26011And would it be going too far to inquire just where you were?
26011And you think you''re doing the right thing?
26011And you want me to go?
26011Are n''t men lawds of creation?
26011Are you in trouble?
26011Are you referring to anything that I have done?
26011Are you sure?
26011Are you trying to make love to me?
26011Badly?
26011But ca n''t you see that it''s-- that it''s worse than revolting to me?
26011But ca n''t you see that now it''s the children we''ve got to think of?
26011But my car seems to be, does n''t it?
26011But what can they do?
26011But what caused the government to change its mind?
26011But what could be taking him to Chicago?
26011But what is it?
26011But where?
26011But why are n''t you there?
26011But why hope from_ that_?
26011But wo n''t that hold good with the Harris Ranch, as well?
26011But you did steal the car?
26011But you do like me, do n''t you?
26011But_ are_ you?
26011Ca n''t you keep those squalling brats quiet?
26011Can you imagine anything lovelier,I remarked as a derailer,"than the prairie at this time of the year, and this time of day?"
26011Can you milk?
26011Could I see your Cousin Allie''s letters?
26011Could n''t we bury it?
26011Could n''t we pile a load of prairie- hay over it?
26011Despise you, Acushla?
26011Did it come with the car?
26011Did you find the bunk- house uncomfortable?
26011Did you have a pleasant time in Chicago?
26011Did you know about that?
26011Did you know that Lady Alicia came here and announced that she was in love with you?
26011Dinky- Dunk,I demanded,"did you have a berth last night?"
26011Do you like me, Peter?
26011Do you mean it''s going to let you take Casa Grande off her ladyship''s hands?
26011Do you mean you''ve never heard him-- and your shack not sixty paces away?
26011Do you want to get out of that hole?
26011For whom?
26011Grizzly, and buffalo, and that sort of thing?
26011Had n''t I better stay here with you to- night?
26011Have you any clue-- any hint?
26011Have you brought any great improvement to it?
26011Have you found him?
26011Have you found him?
26011Have you thought about the kiddies?
26011He knows, of course, that you came to talk this over with me?
26011He''s away?
26011Heard him what?
26011How about this car?
26011How about_ that_?
26011How are we going to get a crop when we ca n''t even raise money enough to get a tractor?
26011How do you know that?
26011How do you know that?
26011How long is it since you''ve seen the inside of the Harris shack?
26011How much was it?
26011How''re you feeling?
26011I say, is n''t this taking a chance?
26011I suppose it ought to be an Indian name, in honor of Ikkie?
26011I suppose you''ve wondered,he finally said,"why I''ve stuck around here as long as I have?"
26011In that case,I asked,"what satisfaction are you getting out of your new position?"
26011In the face of all these?
26011Intolerable to whom?
26011Is it a girl?
26011Is it so narrow?
26011Is it that bad?
26011Is it true,I found the courage to ask,"that you knew your cousin quite intimately as a girl?"
26011Is n''t it a rum enough situation as it is?
26011Is n''t it rather late for that?
26011Is n''t that an unnecessarily harsh word?
26011Is n''t that rather-- er-- primitive?
26011Is n''t that the truth?
26011Is n''t that''er, all over?
26011Is there anything so remarkably consolatory in that vision?
26011It''s both?
26011It''s kind of a mix- up, is n''t it?
26011It''s pretty well that way now, is n''t it? 26011 Just how is it done?"
26011Just what do you mean?
26011Keep on at what?
26011Life, to a dog,I went on,"really means devotion to man, does n''t it?"
26011Nothing''s suggested itself, I suppose?
26011On what terms?
26011Quite a bit of loot, is n''t it?
26011She''s not dead?
26011Since you mention Duncan, I''d like to ask if you''re speaking now as his cousin, or as his mistress?
26011Suspect what?
26011Tea? 26011 Tea?"
26011That''s rather a coincidence, is n''t it?
26011The cattle we''ve kept on it to escape the wild land tax? 26011 The kiddies?"
26011Then he has acknowledged that-- that you''ve captured him?
26011Then how about the cattle and things?
26011Then is n''t it up to us to knuckle down, Dinky- Dunk, and make good on that Lady Alicia mistake? 26011 Then it was your own idea?"
26011Then to what must the humble family attribute this visit?
26011Then what did you hope to gain?
26011Then what do you intend doing about it?
26011Then what made you think so?
26011Then what other way?
26011Then what''s the matter with calling it Alabama?
26011Then what''s the matter with mine?
26011Then whose are they?
26011Then why did n''t you tell me that before?
26011Then why did you say, about a month ago, that marriage was like Hogan''s Alley, the deeper one got into it the tougher it was?
26011Then you cared, that much?
26011Then you do n''t want me back?
26011Then you know?
26011Then you''ve a ranch?
26011Then you''ve decided to take that position?
26011To them?
26011Twins?
26011Wait for what?
26011Was that sleeper too hot last night?
26011What are they?
26011What are you doing here?
26011What are you doing?
26011What are you driving at, anyway?
26011What are you going to do about it?
26011What are you trying to do?
26011What are you worrying over?
26011What can she do?
26011What cattle?
26011What did it?
26011What did she say, Whinnie?
26011What did you say?
26011What did you say?
26011What difference does it make, so long as we''re happy?
26011What do you suppose I''ve been hanging around for?
26011What else can I do?
26011What good would it do?
26011What is it?
26011What is it?
26011What kind of complications?
26011What kind of work?
26011What makes you feel that way?
26011What mystery?
26011What sort of accident?
26011What would you call it then?
26011What would_ you_ call it?
26011What''s happened?
26011What''s that sort of thing to a man of my age?
26011What''s the matter with Whinnie?
26011What''s the matter with a month''s board and keep?
26011What''s the matter with the way we were heading?
26011What''s the other?
26011What''s the rest?
26011What''s wrong with me?
26011What''s wrong?
26011What''s your name?
26011What?
26011When we have n''t help, and we''re short of seed- grain, and we ca n''t even get a gang- plow on credit?
26011Where is he, you empty- eyed idiot? 26011 Where''s Dinkie?"
26011Where''s my boy?
26011Where?
26011Why are n''t you there to keep a little decency about the thing? 26011 Why could n''t we sell off some of the steers?"
26011Why did you go off to Edmonton for three whole days without kissing me good- by?
26011Why do you say that?
26011Why has n''t this husband of yours fixed the windmill?
26011Why hideous?
26011Why not?
26011Why not?
26011Why not?
26011Why rot?
26011Why rub it in?
26011Why should it be?
26011Why should n''t they?
26011Why should she say that?
26011Why the clouded brow, Lady- Bird?
26011Why to me?
26011Why?
26011Why?
26011Why?
26011Why?
26011Why?
26011Why?
26011Why?
26011Why?
26011Will somebody kindly page Lord Chesterfield?
26011Will you kindly come and see what your son has done?
26011Will you sit down, please?
26011With what?
26011Would n''t it be better to keep away from all that, at a time like this?
26011Would n''t you call it that?
26011Would you mind telling me what brought you to this part of the country?
26011Would you mind telling me what brought_ you_ to this part of the country?
26011You do n''t despise me, do you?
26011You do n''t mean being somebody else''s hired man?
26011You mean she was burnt?
26011You''ll have no trouble, of course, in raising the tower?
26011You''re not very happy, are you?
26011_ Is_ it belated?
26011And I knew that this time there''d be no"Are you there, Little Mother?"
26011And did she die bravely?
26011And did she meet death honorably and decently, or after the manner of certain of the Jesuits''_ Relations_?...
26011And life''s a little bigger than deportment, anyway, so what''s the use of fussing over it?
26011And what would it eventually bring me?
26011And what''s the good of life if you ca n''t crowd a little affection into it?
26011And what, I demanded of the frying- pan on its nail above the stove- shelf, was I getting out of it?
26011And where''s it going to come from?"
26011Are n''t those all legally mine?"
26011But as I heard his deep- wrung cry of"Oh, what''s the good of all this?"
26011But the thing that''s been troubling me, all day long, is: Now that Lady Alicia has got her hand- made ranch, what''s she going to do with it?
26011But what''s the use of repining, Tabbie McKail?
26011Can it be, I found myself asking to- day, that it''s youth, golden youth, that is slipping away from me?
26011Do n''t you feel as though your body were a harp that could throb and sing with the happiness of life?"
26011Do you know what we''re going to do, O lord and master?
26011Does that mean we lose our home?"
26011Have they-- have they really cleaned you out?"
26011He''d get cooties, or rheumatism, or a sunstroke, or a knife between his ribs some fine night-- and then where''d I be?
26011I asked]"What''s happened?"
26011I echoed in a voice that was just a wee bit trembly, as I took the note from Whinnie,"what do you mean by away?"
26011I gasped, sitting down out of sheer weakness,"you did n''t say that?"
26011I rather fancy they''re in need of feeding, are n''t they?"
26011I wonder if Lady Alicia is as cold as she seems?
26011I wonder if every woman''s life has a larval period like this?
26011I wonder if there are any really perfect children in the world?
26011I wonder what his answer will be?
26011If our Associated Land Corporation had n''t gone under--""Then it_ has_ gone under?"
26011Is n''t that the truth?"
26011Is she giving Dinky- Dunk a Beautiful Thought for breakfast, instead of a generous plate of ham and eggs?
26011Is that clear?
26011She--""Do you mean she''ll be_ disfigured_?"
26011So you wo n''t mind, will you?
26011Were you in love with Lady Allie?"
26011What did I intend doing about it?
26011What was it leading to?
26011Who does n''t really love to tub a plump and dimpled little body like my Dinkie''s?
26011Who was the girl with the long and lovely tresses of purest gold?
26011Why are n''t you looking after what''s left of her?"
26011Why ca n''t somebody invent children without colic, anyway?
26011You''ll understand the motive behind the message?"
26011[ Illustration:"She''s not dead?"
26011[ Illustration:"What''s happened?"
26011_ Where is he?_"But that half- breed, of course, could n''t tell me.
26011or"Are you there, Babushka?"
26011or"Where beest thou,_ Boca Chica_?"
4383And are there many Canadians where you are living? 4383 And are we going to sing too?"
4383And is it a large town where you are?
4383And is that a good trade? 4383 And the girl with him is his daughter?
4383And you think he could help in a case like this?
4383Are you going home to- day?
4383Before coming to these parts were you farmers in your own country?
4383But what will you do for a horse?
4383Did you picture it to yourselves as you have found it,Chapdelaine persisted,"the country here, the life?"
4383He has no wish to hold on to the land and cultivate it?
4383How does the drive go?
4383I have been a good girl too, have n''t I, father?
4383I shall sleep at Honfleur,said he,"I suppose your horse is fit to take me so far?
4383Is it Samuel Chapdelaine who has a farm in the woods on the other side of the river, above Honfleur?
4383Is she no better?
4383Is there any news from that quarter?
4383Is there plenty of wood in the house?
4383It can not make her worse?
4383It is not a poison, or anything of that sort?
4383News?
4383Not about the boys?
4383O Christ Jesus, who didst stretch forth Thine arm to those in need, why didst Thou not disperse the snows with those pale hands of Thine? 4383 Once more?
4383The pump is not frozen?
4383Well, Mr. Larouche, do things go pretty well across the water?
4383Were you a good girl while I was away, Alma Rose?
4383What ails you, mother? 4383 What trade then did you follow?"
4383Who wants to buy a fine young pig of my breeding?
4383Would you like me to rock you?
4383Yes, and then?
4383Yes?
4383You do not think she will die before the cure comes back?
4383You remember François Paradis of Mistassini, Maria? 4383 You will be here still... next spring?"
4383You will not have me, Maria? 4383 You will sleep here to- night, François?"
4383You wo n''t forget to put out the lamp?
4383--Over there was it not a stranger land where people of an alien race spoke of unfamiliar things in another tongue, sang other songs?
4383... At any rate you are well educated, you and your sons; you can read and write and cipher?
4383A little later he attacked her with another question:--"Is your pump working well?"
4383Again Maria asked herself:--"Why stay here, to toil and suffer thus?
4383And the recompense?
4383And therefore you came here?"
4383And will he return?
4383Another song: which?"
4383Are we soon to be on the move once more?''
4383Are you not feeling any better?"
4383But when at last he broke the silence it was to say:"Have you sent for the cure?
4383Do the people speak French?"
4383Do you earn handsome wages?
4383For what things should she seek in her marriage?
4383Hast Thou already guessed it, O Mary, full of grace?
4383Have you held on to the farm?"
4383Hesitating a moment he stammered out, eyes on the ground:"Perhaps... they have said something against me?"
4383Holy Virgin, why didst Thou not sustain him by Thy power when, for the last time, his feet were stumbling?
4383How do you like Canada?"
4383How might she frame this her desire without impiety?
4383If we did not have Esdras and Da''Be earning good wages in the woods how could we get along?"
4383In all the legions of heaven why was there found no angel to show him the way?"
4383Is n''t it hot?
4383Is there anyone who has n''t something to grumble about?
4383Maria asked doubtfully:"Is it certain that her trouble has only to do with the kidneys?"
4383Mother Chapdelaine took up her questioning:--"And so you sold the farm when your father died?"
4383Nazaire Larouche kept directing attention to his wants with dark sayings:--"Was your pig very lean?"
4383Nous irons sur l''eau nous y prom- promener, Nous irons jouer dans l''ile..."And now?
4383Now they are seated upon a fallen tree, and thus he speaks:"Were you lonely without me, Maria?"
4383So you are selling the farm?"
4383That is so, is it not?
4383The remark was heard in an envious undertone:--"And who will be foreman at three dollars a day?
4383Turning to Maria, the cure said kindly enough;--"So it appears that you are distressing yourself beyond what is reasonable and right?"
4383Was it worth the cost?
4383What do you think, Laura?"
4383What say you, my good friends?
4383What would He be doing with you?
4383Why indeed had they come?
4383Why?
4383With one voice, in an indignant tone, the three men protested:"Do harm?
4383Without waiting for a reply he struck in..."No?
4383You have no call to the religious life?
4383You have no liking for me, or is it, perhaps, that you can not make up your mind?"
4383You should be able to recall that, Madame Chapdelaine?"
4383Your father and the boys built it, did they not?
4383he demanded; or perhaps:--"Fond of maple sugar, are you?
4383not that one... Claire Fontaine?
29686''Then what shall the Dacotahs do?'' 29686 Afraid?"
29686And what do you imagine?
29686And when we say we will not do a thing, you know that we will keep our promise?
29686Are you all right?
29686Are you not coming with us?
29686Asleep? 29686 But how do you know that you are obeying the totem?"
29686But suppose they come back in our absence?
29686But suppose we come upon a camp of half- breeds, as you suggested? 29686 But what of the others-- your father and mine?"
29686By that you mean that you want to come into the teepee?
29686Can the pale- face look upon it without fear? 29686 Can you hold out for a bit longer?
29686Can you not smell it?
29686Captives?
29686Did not Thunder- maker say that these evil spirits have tongues of magic? 29686 Did not the spirit of Thunder- maker speak true?
29686Did you find out anything while you were away with Haggis?
29686Did you hear that, Haggis?
29686Did you hear that--''hungry and tired''?
29686Do n''t you think it would be well if we were to shoot something?
29686Do the pale- faces come to insult the great chief of Dacotahs and say that the fiery totem lie? 29686 Do you think that Skipper Mackintosh is going to allow twa laddies like you to go wandering aboot the backwoods when he can guide you?
29686Do you think that we are going to allow our own people to suffer at the service of a lie? 29686 Does the Red Fox insult the sacred totem of the Dacotahs?"
29686Does the cut pain you much?
29686From our fathers?
29686Haggis hear,was the quiet reply of the native, to which the Scot retorted angrily--"You heard?
29686Haggis, you''ve got your tomahawk? 29686 Have you been asleep?"
29686Have you lost it?
29686How does the head feel now?
29686How far is it to this Pleasant Valley, as it is called?
29686How would it be if I were to stay here, in case he comes this way?
29686How would it be if we were to lay him in that little hollow and cover him with big stones?
29686I wonder if they have missed their way?
29686I wonder what he means by that?
29686I wonder what it can be? 29686 I wonder where they have come from and why they have congregated in this particular tent?"
29686If? 29686 Is it a success?"
29686Is it-- dangerous?
29686Is not Thunder- maker great medicine himself? 29686 Is this how the Dacotahs treat the stranger in their tents?"
29686It can not be so, lest you return to the waters from whence you came----"Oh, that''s it, is it?
29686It hardly seems probable that---- What''s that?--Over there in the centre?
29686It would gladden the eyes of the pale- faces to see their papooses by another sun?
29686Letter?
29686Lost-- tired-- hungry?
29686Lost? 29686 Matter?"
29686Mean?
29686Mighty Hand send Thunder- maker?
29686My white brothers have papooses, they say to Mighty Hand?
29686My white brothers in the tent of Thunder- maker? 29686 Of course they will be able to find their way back to Edmonton, when they see that there is no hope of our returning----""_ No_ hope?"
29686Oh, he would, would he?
29686Oh, that''s it, is it? 29686 Perhaps they are with other Indians?"
29686See? 29686 Shall it be that the fiery serpent hear laughing tongues while the hands of the Dacotahs are idle?
29686Shall it be, brothers, that the great medicine of the Dacotahs die before arrows of the evil spirits?
29686Sheep? 29686 That is what you wish us to understand, is n''t it, Thunder- maker?"
29686The Red Fox will blind the trail, that the white boys never follow? 29686 The papooses will never again see their fathers?"
29686Then the-- the fiery totem-- foolish?
29686Then what''s to be done?
29686Then why have you come to us to- night?
29686Thunder- maker could save-- white brothers-- from fire?
29686Well, where have you come from?
29686Were you sent to us by Mighty Hand?
29686What about wolves?
29686What do they think we are? 29686 What do you mean?"
29686What do you take me for-- a savage?
29686What do you think we ought to do?
29686What is it? 29686 What is it?"
29686What is this, brothers?
29686What is to be done now?
29686What next, I wonder?
29686What on earth are we to do?
29686What on earth can be the meaning of this?
29686What on earth is it?
29686What on earth is it?
29686What''ll happen? 29686 What''s the matter?"
29686What''s the matter?
29686What''s to be done? 29686 What''s to be done?"
29686What''s to be done?
29686Where are they? 29686 Where in the world have you two laddies been?"
29686Where?
29686Which of you two laddies is the one that''s danced down the hillside?
29686Which? 29686 Who are you, redmen?
29686Who''s this?
29686Why have you told us of this, Thunder- maker?
29686Why, what''s the matter, old man?
29686Yes-- the white man send paper by hand of Red Fox, but-- but Red Fox foolish; he-- lose letter-- on trail----"But you are_ sure_ you had one? 29686 You feel better now, do n''t you?"
29686You mean to come with us?
29686You said that you had come a long trail?
29686You think it possible that the canoe_ might_ pass the gully unharmed?
29686You want us to buy our lives for money? 29686 You wonder?"
29686You''ll wake me as soon as the two hours are up?
29686You''re no''feared to take a bit o''risk for your friend''s sake?
29686[ 2]But what has all this got to do with us?"
29686A pair o''laddies?"
29686And if not, why did you behave in such a double way?
29686And what for shall Skipper Mackintosh be afraid?
29686And when Skipper fails, is there no''the Haggis and Bannock-- a pair o''the finest scouts and trackers that ever set foot in bush or prairie?
29686And yet, one meenit after, I see you standing there like a daft gowk instead o''hustling for food as fast as your legs can move you?
29686Are you all right?
29686Are you dogs, to be beaten to obey the first loud voices?
29686Beetle?
29686But Holden did not respond to the greeting, as he demanded--"Does Thunder- maker think that we are fools?
29686But before another sun they-- they die----""Die?"
29686But did you not say that they were at the Dacotah village?"
29686But did you notice how that old warrior examined the knots himself?
29686But how can we speak in bonds?
29686But how long would their moment be delayed?
29686But how to draw the boy from the slough?
29686But if your people think us spirits, why do they keep us here?
29686But meantime-- the boys-- I wonder what they are doing now?"
29686But once there, what would be the result?
29686But what else could he do?
29686But----""Well-- but?"
29686By whom?
29686CHAPTER IV FRIENDS OR FOES?
29686Ca n''t we, Alf?"
29686Ca n''t you see that Bob is lying hurt?"
29686Can brave white boy forgive poor Indian?"
29686Can they not feel the poison- tooth break the covering of their flesh?"
29686Can you do this?"
29686Can you get a coat under your arms if I send it to you?"
29686Can you hear me?"
29686Coming towards us?"
29686Could it be that they had come too late?
29686Could it be that, after all, Mackintosh had been mistaken, or that Red Fox had deluded them?
29686Did he give you one?"
29686Did he not bring the thunder to prove his great medicine?
29686Did he not say that no weapon could prevail against those magic words?
29686Did you hear that?
29686Did you no''attend to what your freend said-- that Red Fox told him that Mighty Hand would leave for Pleasant Valley by another sun?
29686Do you see?
29686Do you think she''s worth skinning?"
29686Do you think that we could dare to live another hour if we knew that we had pretended to be sent by Him-- and so delude foolish people?
29686Do you think we are wise to keep quite in the centre of the current?
29686Do you think we did not hear you piping to those vile serpents of yours?"
29686Do you want to sleep all your senses away?"
29686Does either o''you ken anything o''this by chance?"
29686FRIENDS OR FOES?
29686Had the savage merely stolen him for some wild purpose-- perhaps to await a ransom?
29686Has he no weapon to protect himself from magic?"
29686Has he not made great medicine these many suns?
29686Has he not many times driven the fever from the camp, till it fled over the prairie like a coyote driven with sticks and dogs?
29686He say Red Fox face hideous?"
29686How shall the redman''s eyes see right?"
29686I suppose you''ve noticed the lights as well as we?"
29686I suppose, noo, that I''m no''just dreaming?
29686I''m beginning to think something has happened----""An accident?"
29686If there''s nothing to shoot, a fellow ca n''t get much of a bag, can he?"
29686Is this how the redman treats the stranger who would smoke the peace- pipe by our fire?
29686Is this the way the Dacotahs treat their white brothers when they seek the friendship of your shores?"
29686Is this the welcome that my braves give to those whom Mighty Hand has received with a smile-- with no arms in his hand, no tomahawk at his belt?
29686Laddie, laddie, are you forgetting that there''s a Hand that could guide the frailest birch- bark safely through Niagara itsel''?
29686Look here-- you know that when a pale- face says he will do a thing he will surely do it?"
29686Man, but I''d sooner have a sniff o''the backwoods----""Than a mouthful of bacon?
29686No fire shall have their white bodies----""And if we-- refuse-- to do-- this?"
29686Of course we came out from waters, but what has that to do with the moon, I wonder?"
29686Or are you children of your rightful chief?
29686Red Fox come over prairie-- bush-- far-- far----""Oh, you understand English?"
29686Shall the howling wolf put fear into your hearts, to drag down a prey that he dares not attack alone?
29686Spirits?"
29686Strange, was n''t it?"
29686Surely such a prodigy had never been seen before?
29686That''s what you are driving at, you cunning old serpent?"
29686The boys started at the remark, while Alf repeated--"A story?"
29686The clothes or yourself?"
29686The man dared not move, for the least motion of a muscle might be sufficient to frighten the deadly little rope of flesh, and then----?
29686The old man paused, and Arnold jerked in--"Then why on earth raise them?
29686The soond o''Haggis''s nightingale voice?"
29686The speaker was all bustle and hurry now, and as the boys followed to render assistance, Bob asked--"Pleasant Valley?
29686Then he added merrily:"But are you sure that you can stand it?
29686Then he remarked quaintly:"This is like old times, is n''t it-- you and I out in a scrape together?
29686Then you mean to go there direct?"
29686They bury the hatchet and-- my white brother will stay with Red Fox while he go Happy Hunting- ground?"
29686They were that answer, and the result-- who can say what the consequences would be when falsehood and superstition had a savage people at command?
29686Too soon?
29686We did not bid you truss us up with these rawhide thongs?"
29686We know that--''out of silver waters''--but is anything said about bonds?"
29686Well, how much do you wish?"
29686What about the antelope?"
29686What can that have to do with us?"
29686What could it be that had such a power to fascinate the whole tribe?
29686What do you see?"
29686What do you take me for, I''d just like to know?"
29686What do you take me for-- a coleopterist?
29686What does he mean by''out from the silver waters''?
29686What had happened to his chum?
29686What has kept them from returning to camp?"
29686What is the use of lying to us?
29686What was it?
29686What would you and I have done if two of our chums had disappeared from camp as we did?"
29686What''s that?"
29686Where did you find it?"
29686Where is he?"
29686Where?
29686White dog laugh at Red Fox?
29686Who is chief of the Dacotahs-- Thunder- maker or Mighty Hand?"
29686Who thinks o''bacon and coffee on a morning like this?
29686Who would have believed that these three short months would have changed a fever- wasted body into such a sturdy frame?"
29686Who''s this?"
29686Why is the white boy so good?"
29686Why not let us return?"
29686Why?
29686Will you braves suffer this insult to the wearer of the fiery totem?"
29686You do n''t think that Englishmen would leave a fellow to bleed to death, do you?"
29686You wo n''t go far from camp before we return, will you?"
29686You''ll not mind being left alone for a time?
29686You''re no''by chance just twa o''them muckle moths that''s come into my dream in a make- believe?"
29686Your faithers went doon the Athabasca, you said?"
29686_ Who_ are they that dare to revile our sacred sign with mocking eyes and tongues?"
29686but have you no''ears for the birds, nor nostrils for the scents of Nature?
29686decided Alf, to which Bob returned, with a sly dig at his chum''s ribs--"''Horns?''
29686laughed Bob, to which the naturalist replied with scorn, as he indicated the lads to take the opposite end of the tent to roll--"Beetle?
29686questioned Arnold slowly and seriously, and his companion added:"Yes, if we refuse-- what then?"
27231Afraid of what?
27231Ai n''t you sleepy?
27231Ai n''t you tired?
27231Ai n''t you_ afeard_ they might come down on you?
27231And much more comfortable, I suppose?
27231And was it you who fired those shots?
27231And what difference does it make? 27231 And why are you alarmed on my account?
27231And will they accompany us?
27231Are you frightened?
27231Are you going to stay up all night?
27231Are you going to warn others?
27231Are you offended?
27231Are you sure?
27231Attack purty soon-- keep eye peeled-- don''t see notting?
27231Be you really the leader of the Riflemen?
27231Believe it? 27231 But do n''t you notice the bank gets so low down yonder that it wo n''t hide us, and we''ll have to show ourselves?"
27231But see here,pursued the Rifleman,"how comes it you are in these woods at all?
27231But where are your men?
27231But where''s the gal?
27231Ca n''t you understand what they''re driving at?
27231Can I go''long with you?
27231Can you shoot?
27231Did he lick you for nothin''?
27231Did n''t it strike you that he acted queerly then?
27231Did n''t lose his?
27231Did you do it on purpose?
27231Do n''t anybody know? 27231 Do n''t you believe I love you?"
27231Do n''t you feel able to walk?
27231Do n''t you see they''re pointing up the river and across it? 27231 Do they carry such articles with them?"
27231Do you think there is any one following us?
27231Do you think,asked Dick, in a low tone, for he entertained a strong affection for his leader,"Do you think it is_ certain_ Lew has been catched?"
27231Do you want me to tell you?
27231Do you wish to keep me here longer, to mortify me?
27231Done eatin''?
27231Eber seen logs afore?
27231Father,said son Jim, with a meaning smile,"you remember the night that Lew brought Edith to our house?"
27231Got long eyes?
27231Have I ever seen them logs before? 27231 Have you discovered danger?
27231How are_ we_ going to find it?
27231How came you in these parts, my friend?
27231How do you feel?
27231How do you know it is, eh?
27231How do you know that, I should like to know? 27231 How do you know that?
27231How do you know that?
27231How far, dear friend, did you say it is to the settlement?
27231How get him?
27231How is it that you are here, then?
27231How is this? 27231 How is this?
27231How shall I know whether it is you or not?
27231How t''row white men off scent, eh?
27231How they look when last see him?
27231How will you do that?
27231How?
27231I guess yer ai n''t used to cookin'', be you?
27231I s''pose we''ll hunt as we did yesterday?
27231I say, Lew,said his brother,"I''ve asked yer half a dozen times, whether there''s any thing that need keep us here any longer?"
27231I say, father, how much further ahead is that creek we''ve got to cross?
27231I wonder what they are going to jabber about?
27231I? 27231 Is n''t the bird cooked well enough?"
27231Is that so?
27231Is that their dispute?
27231Is the row done with?
27231It''ll scare''em, I guess, wo n''t it?
27231It''s pretty plain they''re going to cross the river, but, confound it, how can we tell where it''s going to be done? 27231 Know it?
27231Know what I''ve done? 27231 Leave you?
27231Let''s see-- we''ve come over forty mile, hain''t we?
27231Me fire? 27231 Nobody else?"
27231Of course she does,said Tom,"so what''s the use of talking?
27231Over the same ground that I come over?
27231See here, Zeke, was there any Injins chasing you, just now?
27231Shawnee got him? 27231 Shawnees, I s''pose?"
27231She is n''t with him, then?
27231Should they accidentally come across our trail, it would be easy enough for them to follow it, would it not?
27231Suppose we_ are_ overtaken?
27231Sure?
27231That is, did you_ know_ we should be pursued and persecuted as we have been when we started?
27231The Huron-- Oonamoo?
27231The Indians will not trouble us again?
27231The creek?
27231Then why do you ask me such a question? 27231 Then you''ll take a tramp with me?"
27231They did n''t catch you?
27231Want to fire again?
27231We can reach it, then, by traveling all night?
27231Well, what of that?
27231Well, what''s the next move? 27231 What are they waiting for?"
27231What are they waiting for?
27231What are you going to do with that?
27231What can have become of the fools?
27231What can_ that_ red- skin mean by being in these parts? 27231 What do you mean?
27231What do you want the gal caught for?
27231What do you want to know for, eh?
27231What else have you to tell?
27231What has made you sick?
27231What is the matter with this cooking, I should like to know; eh?
27231What is the matter? 27231 What made you fire, Jake?"
27231What made you leave it?
27231What makes you act so strangely-- and keep away from me as though you hated me?
27231What makes you think so?
27231What makes you think so?
27231What makes you think so?
27231What might be your name?
27231What seems to be the general expectation?
27231What sort of a chap is he?
27231What the deuce is the matter?
27231What want to do? 27231 What was it for?"
27231What''s the matter, Lew?
27231What''s the matter? 27231 What''s the matter?"
27231What''s the matter?
27231What''s their idea, Oonamoo?
27231What''s up now?
27231What''s up? 27231 What?
27231Where do you suppose that will be?
27231Where is it you belong?
27231Where is she?
27231Where lost? 27231 Where shall we fly?"
27231Where the deuce did they get their bows and tow from?
27231Where the deuce has Lew gone to?
27231Which way are you going?
27231Who can this chap be?
27231Who finished it?
27231Who is with you?
27231Who said they was n''t?
27231Who the deuce wants you to pay us?
27231Who wants it to hide us? 27231 Who?"
27231Why did n''t he do as you did-- come over and join me?
27231Why do n''t you go back?
27231Why do n''t you want to hear it?
27231Why do you think he has n''t used this tree?
27231Why do you think he would n''t take the shortest way home?
27231Why does n''t he show himself, the coward? 27231 Why no killed-- no hurt?"
27231Why not rejoin our friends?
27231Why this change of direction?
27231Why, Edith,_ did n''t you squeeze my hand_?
27231Why, how did I do it?
27231Why, what need is there of that?
27231Why, what''s up now?
27231Wo n''t any of these logs burn?
27231Wo n''t get over afore morning then?
27231Wo n''t you even look at me?
27231Yes; did n''t I tell you that?
27231You all seen him, did n''t you?
27231You do n''t s''pose the Injins will see it, do you?
27231You going to turn me off? 27231 You have, eh?"
27231You know what I''m certain of?
27231You please tell her that it is_ necessary_, then, will you?
27231You see, him and the gal----"Gal with him?
27231You think we can keep out of their hands?
27231You will not leave me?
27231_ Anybody go with him?_"He took a female, believing that her safety demanded such a course.
27231_ What of that?_he exclaimed, indignantly.
27231Ai n''t there any Injins in the neighborhood?"
27231And what''s the odds whether they''ve daubed themselves up with their stuff or not?"
27231Any danger?"
27231Are we pursued?"
27231Are you hurt?
27231As soon as-- where''s Oonamoo?"
27231At length he questioned the Huron:"Where''s Tom?"
27231Be you two hunting?"
27231Been up late at night, I s''pose?"
27231Both welcomed him, and when he had been seated, Edith asked, rather abruptly:"Now, Lewis, what is the matter with you?"
27231But how is he going to throw the dogs off the scent?"
27231But, I say, do you know the head feller of them Riflemen?"
27231But, father,"asked Jim, in an earnest whisper,"how is it about the Injins?
27231Ca n''t a chap rub his eyes without your gaping at him that way?"
27231Can you stand it till then?"
27231Come, now, where is Lew?
27231Confound''em, what''s the use?"
27231Dick, who, by the merest accident, glanced in his face was nearly startled off his feet by the irascible fellow shouting:"What you looking at?
27231Do n''t you think so?"
27231Do you know what you have done?"
27231Do you wish to go with us?"
27231Foller him-- catch him?"
27231Go back to her friends, I s''pose?"
27231Got any thing to eat?"
27231Have you been hanging around here all night?"
27231Have you seen him?"
27231Hope you''re never taken for him, be you?"
27231How are we to know where to look for his trail?"
27231How came you to be so interested in a stranger?"
27231How could she, being a woman, help it?
27231How do I know why I ai n''t sleepy?
27231How far did you say the settlement is off?"
27231How much longer will it take us to reach it?"
27231How was it?"
27231How will they know enough of our direction to keep up the pursuit?"
27231I do n''t s''pose you''ve traveled the woods much, have you?"
27231I''ve promised them that we will see them through-- where''s Sego?"
27231If we get over the creek without much trouble with the oxen, we may fetch up there by sundown, eh?"
27231Miami got him?"
27231Of course you may, provided she is willing, for where could she be safer than in the charge of Lew Dernor?
27231Out on a scout?"
27231Pray, what is it?"
27231Sam, in front, is n''t likely to get asleep, is he?"
27231Say, you, did you ever hear of the Riflemen of the Miami?"
27231Shall I tell you where he''s going?
27231Take a longer way home, and a safer one, or the short route?"
27231Take her?
27231The Riflemen of the Miami----""Are you the men who are known by that name?"
27231The bronzed face of the hunter took a deeper hue as he asked:"Is she-- Edith with you?"
27231The latter drew his knife, and said:"Keep off, Lew Dernor; do n''t you know me?"
27231They''ve got somebody''s gal there, hain''t they?
27231To set up a yell and pitch after them?"
27231What are you doing?
27231What caused it?"
27231What did you mean by saying that?"
27231What did you play''possum for?"
27231What good could that possibly do?"
27231What has occurred that makes you walk faster, and look so constantly about you?"
27231What is the meaning of that?"
27231What is the rest?"
27231What is there about that name that so troubles you?"
27231What shall I do?
27231What would I wish to hurt you for?"
27231What''s the gal want to do?
27231When this was announced, he turned round, and with an impatient exclamation, demanded:"Who fired that gun last?"
27231Where are they?"
27231Where does the trail lead to now, Oonamoo?"
27231Where see him last?"
27231Where were they?
27231Who''s been kindling a fire at this time of day?"
27231Who''s that with you?"
27231Why did he whip you this last time when you run away?"
27231Why did n''t you do it?"
27231Why do n''t the cowardly dogs rush in upon us?
27231Why do n''t you feel sleepy?"
27231Why do you ask again?"
27231Why do you ask?"
27231Will he be back to- day?"
27231Wo n''t that be the best we can do, Tom?"
27231Wo n''t you fight, Lew?"
27231You ai n''t on a scout or hunt just now, then?"
27231You did n''t come all the way from Pennsylvany alone?"
27231You mind the time, Jim, when he went with us over into Kentucky, and he saved us from running into that ambush?"
27231Young Smith noticed his emotion, and asked, with some alarm:"What''s the matter, Lew?
27231anybody hurt?"
27231are we to be burnt alive?"
27231did n''t he jump?
27231eh?
27231eh?
27231has n''t the boy used his pegs along here?"
27231hear those shouts-- but how can you prevent it?"
27231how long afore you''re goin''to start?"
27231it''s got to come to that sooner or later, and who could she get better than Lew Dernor, the leader of the Miami Riflemen?"
27231what are they saying?"
27231what is it that pleases you, Oonamoo?"
27231what''s the matter?"
27231who intended to refuse it?
27231who said we could n''t?
27231you ai n''t going to lick me too, are you?"
43675And did you ever think we would n''t be?
43675And have not_ you_, the best marksman in the company, succeeded in doing as well as he?
43675And how could you know that, little one?
43675And would soon know where it came from?
43675Are you hurt in any way?
43675Are you sure of it, younker?
43675But I ca n''t understand his cause for entering the cabin any way; what good can he do us there?
43675But how can you get out? 43675 But how does he manage to move himself then?"
43675But, Jo, what does it mean? 43675 Can my white brother write on the back of this the words which Colonel Preston can read?"
43675Did it hit the buck?
43675Did n''t I carry the news to Wild Oaks two years ago, when it looked as though all of us was going under sure?
43675Did you find the tomahawk in the door?
43675Did you see it coming?
43675Do you think he did right, Uncle?
43675Had n''t I better lead de way?
43675Have any of my brethren of the Wyandots been harmed by the dogs of the Yenghese?
43675Have the Wyandots learned to run? 43675 Have you any idea of the number in the woods?"
43675Have you any knowledge when the Wyandots will attack Colonel Preston?
43675How are we going to get across?
43675How could you know that,asked the surprised Mrs. Preston,"when we could not be certain, until you were both within the house?"
43675How do you find it?
43675How do you know that?
43675How was it?
43675How was that?
43675How would my brother with the face of the night do?
43675I''m not scared; I only wanted to know who it is; what are you after?
43675If dem Injines do n''t want to come forrard and speak to us, what''s de use ob waiting for''em?
43675If the Colonel sees that, then will he read those words you have spoken to me?
43675If they have fixed upon this plan of assault,said Colonel Preston to Stinger,"why do they wait?"
43675In what way?
43675Is it fully dark on the outside?
43675Is it the only one that endangers the roof?
43675Is there no way of stopping him?
43675Ned, what am de use ob loafin''round here?
43675Suppose it is a success?
43675Suppose you can not extinguish it?
43675Sure of it? 43675 That arrow which came through the window was a surprise, was it not?"
43675That is n''t what I mean; how was it he brought you here and helped you to enter the block- house?
43675That is well for the Wyandots,said the Colonel,"but have you done anything to teach them that the skill is not all on their side?"
43675The pale- faces will come to the help of Deerfoot, for who has been a better friend to them than he?
43675War dat you dat fired dat arrer at us?
43675Well, younker, what is it?
43675Whar am de Injines?
43675What do you think about it, Jo?
43675What harm can two of them do, if they_ are_ there?
43675What has put that idea in your head?
43675What is it, Jo?
43675What will they do with it, after they steal it?
43675What would I want to turn back for?
43675When shall I look for your return?
43675Where is Deerfoot?
43675Where were they?
43675Who is it?
43675Who''s there?
43675Who''s there?
43675Whose boat is that?
43675Why are they not closer to the station?
43675Why ca n''t we dig the well inside the block- house, as you intended?
43675Why did n''t you took him by de collar,asked Blossom Brown,"and slam him down on de floor?
43675Why did we not know the dog spoke with two tongues? 43675 Why not try another shot?"
43675Why should we feel alarmed, Maria,he asked,"when, as I told you a short time ago, we have plenty of ammunition and the means to defend ourselves?
43675Why?
43675Will my brother teach Deerfoot how to send his thoughts to the Great Spirit?
43675Will my brother with the face of the night, walk a long ways in the wood and let Deerfoot send a single arrow toward him?
43675Will my white brother tell Deerfoot of the Great Spirit of the pale faces, that the missionary talks about?
43675Would my brother like to use his gun?
43675You did-- that''s a fact; but was the risk as great as now?
43675You do, eh?
43675You have a barrel of water in the house?
43675Are the Wyandots tired that they must sit down and rest?
43675But where was the arrow?
43675But, Deerfoot, is there not danger that some of the Wyandots saw the arrow in its flight?"
43675How was it he befriended you as he did?"
43675I wonder whether----""Hello, Colonel, what''s going on?"
43675If they should find he was dogging them, what other proof could they ask that he was playing the part of spy and enemy?
43675Looking at Ned, he asked--"Will my brother let Deerfoot see one of his letters?"
43675Ned Preston caught the arm of the man in the darkness and asked--"Ca n''t you put it out with a wet blanket?"
43675Several minutes passed, and then the guide asked--"Do my brothers hear anything?"
43675Shall Deerfoot come back to them and show them what to do, when their enemies are around them?"
43675She listened in amazement, and then said:"Why, do you think you could write a book like that?"
43675Was ever such reckless daring known?
43675Was it not there that he should seek the key to the problem which had baffled him thus far?
43675Was it work?
43675Was there not a chance of getting away by a sudden dash?
43675What secret might not the old cabin give up to him?
43675Who is Waughtauk, that a youth of the Shawanoes should teach him to walk?
43675Why did he come out there where he could be seen, and go into the building?"
43675Why did not some of our warriors lie in the woods at the end of the Long Clearing to catch him, if he should escape us?"
43675Why did we not make sure he could not run?
43675he repeated, as he placed his arm affectionately on her shoulder;"do you regard it possible, when I have_ you_ and the little ones depending on us?"
43675is that you?"
43675remarked the Colonel, looking toward him in the darkness;"what is it?"
4981Are there any other churches in the place?
4981Buchanan, Fillmore, or Fremont?
4981What constitutes a state? 4981 What denomination is that?"
4981Who are those people? 4981 And that, if he failed to do this, any such quarter of his quarter- section might be preempted by a later occupant? 4981 And then, when this great reputation is acquired, what does it amount to? 4981 But does not the government do anything to prevent these trespasses? 4981 But how is it? 4981 But how is that material? 4981 But what are the roads leading from St. Paul, and what are the facilities of travel to places beyond? 4981 First, I asked how much the church was going to cost? 4981 Is all proof of occupation in his case, when he comes to prove up his title, to be confined to acts anterior to the date of conflict? 4981 Is it because they have not enough physical resources, or because their climate is not healthy? 4981 Is that entry confined in effect to a single quarter quarter? 4981 Now, was it ever imagined that such claimant must personally inhabit every quarter quarter- section of his claim? 4981 That he must erect a dwelling on every quarter quarter- section? 4981 That he must have under cultivation every quarter quarter- section? 4981 What is the meaning of the phrase in the actlegal subdivisions of the public lands,"in"conformity"with which the entry must be made?
4981What will it be called?
4981Why is it that Italy is not great?
4981Why is it the South American republics are rusting into abject decay?
4981Why should it be assumed that individual action in this respect is prohibited for towns any more than for trade or agriculture?
4981Why should there be a different rule in regard to occupants for municipal preemption?
4981Why should those interested in it be subject to special disabilities of competing occupancy?
4981Why, then, object to individuals taking up a given quantity of land in one case rather than in the other?
4981Will posterity ask what were the powers thus sought, thus prized, thus rewarded, and thus transient?
4981and where are they from?"
40783And rub yer teeth too?
40783And scrape yer face with that knife?
40783And to what church do you belong?
40783And what, my friends, would you have done had your son come home in that way after such conduct?
40783Are you a preacher?
40783But do you really belong to the''Church of God''?
40783But is not Christ here too?
40783But what can I do with these colored things?
40783But what did you do when that was gone?
40783Could a man raise apples?
40783Did I say anything in my talk with you of an unchristian nature?
40783Do n''t yer know thar''s no luck in camp with a preacher? 40783 Do n''t you know,"said the minute- man,"a minister can draw a bead as quick as any man?"
40783Do you mean that the paper is thin? 40783 How long ago was that?"
40783How many mought there be, stranger?
40783How many young ones mought you have, my friend?
40783Mice girdle all the trees, eh?
40783Mought that be your young un, stranger?
40783Snow too deep?
40783Tornado?
40783Well, can I get a buggy or wagon?
40783Well, do n''t he own that mill?
40783Well, well,I said,"is not that true?"
40783What are you, then?
40783What can I do? 40783 What church are you now a member of?"
40783What did the elder say?
40783What do you believe different from me?
40783What has been the outcome of that faith and self- denial? 40783 What is the matter?"
40783What line of goods do you carry?
40783What, you married again?
40783Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant?
40783Why did you not tell me you were a minister?
40783Why so, stranger?
40783Why, did you have them here since you came?
40783Why, does it not to- morrow?
40783Why, who is that?
40783Why? 40783 Why?"
40783Yes; did n''t ye know we had a ternado?
40783You got the house?
40783You must feel lonesome at times; but in what do you differ from us?
40783--"Have you room?"
40783After a moment''s look at me, he said,"Live near here?"
40783After seeing the man wash, shave, and clean his teeth, he could hold in no longer, and said,--"Mister, do you wash every day?"
40783And would you keep the men from which we sprung in overcrowded Europe, while we have a continent with but seventy millions?
40783Are not such people worth saving?
40783Aunt Sally, have ye any of that liver invigorator?
40783But do we have such places yet?
40783But how to get there?
40783But what is one man among so many?
40783But what of that?
40783Can I sell you an order?"
40783Could I get my things in for eight or ten days?"
40783Did not old John Hawkins as he sailed the seas in his good ship Jesus, packed with Guinea negroes, praise God for his great success?
40783Did they look upon a minister as a telegraph or a telephone operator, whom they must call to send the message?
40783Did they think I could absolve her?
40783Did this go on in the dark?
40783Did ye miss yer train?
40783Do n''t want to buy that b''ar, do ye?"
40783Do we believe that"The Earth is the Lord''s"?
40783Do we want them to be?
40783Do we wonder why the foreigner is worse here than at home?
40783England has four times as much inventive genius as the rest of Europe, but America has ten times as much as England; and why?
40783Had he not some grand design that in the fulness of time he would lead Columbus, like Abraham of old, to found a new nation?
40783Have you brought your letters?"
40783Here again, I thought, what work for a colporteur?
40783I am constantly asked,"When are you going to send us a man?"
40783I asked her how she liked her new home?
40783I did so; and found him living with his family in a little house(?
40783I know it; but I have lost an hour trying to think of a better; and is not society composed( figuratively speaking) of cockle, chess, and wheat?
40783I ought to have lectured them?
40783I said,"Are you happy?"
40783I said,"Is that their minister?"
40783I suppose you are all Christians?"
40783I was surprised at the first question put by my man with the ear- trumpet,--"Elder, what do you think of that sermon of----''s in Chicago?
40783I well remember a good man, who was to speak in a church a few miles away, saying to me,"How shall we get there?"
40783I would not; would you?"
40783In business?"
40783In short, what right has any man to tamper with one of the commandments to suit himself, and place the remainder higher than love to his neighbor?
40783Is it any wonder that we have thirty millions of our people not in touch with the church?
40783Is it strange that death reaps such a harvest?
40783Is the Sabbath greater than its Lord?
40783Is there any real love in that which sends a missionary to Europe to save souls on the Don, that will not let their bodies live on the Hudson?
40783Kind o''tough, eh?"
40783Let them grow more cockle instead of wheat, and chess instead of barley?
40783Make you sick?"
40783Now, why are they there a hundred years behind us in every respect?
40783On Monday and Tuesday it rained again;"but we were real comfortable; were n''t we, Mary?"
40783Or shall they be of the wheat to be gathered into the Master''s garner?
40783Ought we to go?''
40783Rich in the blood of many nationalities, with freedom well- nigh to license, what will the harvest be if left without spiritual husbandry?
40783Shall we trust that American institutions and American ideas, that the press and schools, will ultimately Americanize them?
40783Sisco?"
40783So I said,"What time does the train start?"
40783So, I thought,"Have I come a hundred miles out of my way, to miss the train?"
40783Sure enough; what is the use of a fence in winter except to burn?
40783The Cracker classes are descendants of the English, but what kind of English?
40783The cockle and chess are gone; but the wheat( the children) are left,--bright, young, pliant, strong,--what shall we do with them?
40783The little fellow was going too; and now he said,--"I want you to buy me a pretty coffin, wo n''t you?
40783Was he not a wise man?
40783We buried our two treasures among the friends in the cemetery; and after a while I said to my wife,--"''Shall we go back to the field?
40783We pass on to the new mines farther west, and what do we find?
40783Were they playing a year after?
40783What can he do?
40783What has been the outcome?
40783What shall I do?"
40783What shall the harvest be?
40783When a young school- teacher reached home, her mother said,"Why did you not bring your young brother?"
40783Where are the right men to send to such places?
40783Who gave these brethren the right to work their horses this way, and break the Sabbath?
40783Who would have thought to hear, away up in the woods, in such a house, from such a man, such a question?
40783Who would have thought, as they passed that farm, of the world of happiness in that little log house?
40783Why are they sunk so low?
40783Why should God have kept so large a portion of the world hidden from the eyes of Europe for thousands of years?
40783Wicked, was it not?
40783Will you come to church, and bring the children to our Sabbath- school?"
40783With a population as mixed as this, and in constant flux, what, you ask, can the church do?
40783Would he guide me to it?
40783Yet who ever heard them complain?
40783You ai n''t Wilcox?"
40783You are a Christian, I believe?"
40783You want to preach?"
40783and does the missionary still have to expose himself?
40783have I sailed the ocean,"said he,"to be drowned in a ditch?"
16349''Oh, you are a runaway foremast hand are you? 16349 ''What on airth do you mean by saying"until you time is out?"
16349A kangaroo, eh? 16349 A nice navigator you are, ai n''t you, Spiller?
16349Am I my brother''s keeper?
16349And did n''t the doctor say I''d be dead before twelve this day?
16349And what sort of a mate-- husband, I mean-- have you got?
16349And where are you living now, Maggie?
16349And you bought a wedding ring?
16349But how can I help it?
16349But if you are caught, Joshua, what then?
16349But, Davy,asked Jack,"where is the port and the shipping, and where are all the settlers?
16349But, Jack, what have you been doing since I met you the year before last? 16349 Ca n''t you scratch it out, then?"
16349Captain,he said,"what has become of the new manager?"
16349Did n''t I show you de black man just now, Miss Sheppard, when he was going to de lake? 16349 Did na ye hear a gunshot just now?"
16349Did you tell the police about''em?
16349Do n''t you see you are going to be drowned?
16349Do you know him?
16349Do you know the names of any of the stars in this part of the roof?
16349Do you know the nature of an oath?
16349Do you mean to insinivate that I took''em? 16349 Do you take me for a blooming fool, Parson?
16349Does she ever throw you?
16349Have you a license?
16349Have you any questions to put to this witness?
16349Have you bought that horse, Mister?
16349Have you ever kept school before?
16349Help it? 16349 How does it happen that Mr. Sellars has not come over from Dresden?"
16349I see, Bob, you meant well, did n''t you? 16349 I was to say nothing, indeed, was I?
16349Is anything the matter? 16349 Is it to cook my dog Watch you mean?"
16349Is that long ago?
16349Know him? 16349 Know ye not that lovely river?
16349Know ye, is it? 16349 Long ago?
16349Maybe you''d like to mutiny, would n''t you?
16349No, what does he say?
16349Oh, I dare say you were a great man at home, were n''t you?
16349Oh, Nosey,she said,"what are you doing to poor Baldy?
16349Oh, it looks too like the Catholics, do n''t you see? 16349 The question is a perfectly fair one, Mr. Armstrong,"said the Judge: and turning to the witness he repeated:"Do you know the nature of an oath?"
16349Three men who want to kill you, eh? 16349 Well, Baldy,"he said,"and what did you hear?
16349Well, Tommy, what is the matter?
16349Well,asked Gleeson,"is anything the matter?"
16349What about the mulatto? 16349 What happened to the clock?"
16349What is his age?
16349What kind of timber do you want?
16349What made you leave Ireland, Jack?
16349What the----should I know about your sheep?
16349What was the biggest battle you ever were in?
16349Where have you been all this time?
16349Where''s the Sheriff?
16349Who are you?
16349Who is gone?
16349Who owns this building?
16349Whose planks are they?
16349Why do n''t you answer the question?
16349Why the blazes do n''t you get up and come out of this rat- hole?
16349Why, Maggie, you do n''t mean to say you have got a mate?
16349Why, Maggie,said Philip,"what on earth is the matter with you?"
16349Why, what can I do? 16349 Wo n''t Mr. Cunningham go after the men?"
16349Would you have any objection? 16349 You did not mean anything about Baldy, I suppose, did you, now?"
16349You do n''t know me, Mat?
16349You say you gave Cecily some money, a horse, saddle, and bridle?
16349A tall stranger came near looked at the group, and said:"My good man, what in thunder are you crying for?"
16349After recovering the power of speech, his first question was,"How is it possible that any man could ever consent to live in a hole like this?"
16349Ai n''t he pale?
16349Ai n''t you got any trade to work at?"
16349Ai n''t your time your own?''
16349And how am I to get it if I do n''t take it myself?
16349And how could a prayer ever reach heaven in time to be of any use to him, when he could not make it heard outside the deck- house?
16349And is it to hang me now you want to pay me back for the trouble I took for you and all the misery I suffered these long years?
16349And what call had I to say nothing?
16349And who is to blame but your own self for being in this place at all?
16349And who would like to live here for efer a thousand miles from decent neebors?
16349And will the Lord of the Vineyard commend it?
16349Any news to- day?"
16349Are the aboriginals amenable to British law?
16349Are ye runaway Government men?
16349Are you going to stand there all day, and watch me being flogged to death for nothing?"
16349Are you sure it was a kangaroo?"
16349Are you, indeed?
16349As soon as he saw Nosey he exclaimed,"Hello, Nosey, is that you?"
16349At last he said:"''I suppose you know what I mean, Miss Edgeworth?''
16349At last, in his extreme agony, the cook made a piteous appeal to the seamen:[ ILLUSTRATION 2]"Mates, are you men?
16349Barlow?"
16349Barney lived in Lockport, and in an audible whisper said to us:"Ai n''t he getting on finely?
16349Before leaving the court, he turned to the judge and said,"You hang me this time?"
16349Can as much be said of any year since?
16349Could I help you to look for it?"
16349Curious, is n''t it?"
16349Cuts me dead, do n''t he?
16349Did he believe in or hope for a heaven?
16349Did he ever think of anything-- of his past life, or of his future lot?
16349Did n''t you hear about him and Priscilla?"
16349Did you find out who took''em?"
16349Did you never try ashes?
16349Did you say a word to me until you finished your bloody work?
16349Did you start a station there for Imlay?"
16349Do n''t you see the blacks after you?"
16349Do you expect me to believe that anybody among the crowd there would murder you in broad daylight?
16349Do you know where you are now?"
16349Do you think they are swans?"
16349Do you think you could find him?"
16349Eh?"
16349For what purpose?
16349Had they committed mutiny and murder, or only justifiable homicide?
16349Harrigan?"
16349Has the mulatto a whole soul, half a soul, or no soul at all?"
16349He gazed at the river, which was flowing towards the mountains, and said:"What for stupid yallock* yan along a bulga**?"
16349He has been peeling your neck pretty bad, ai n''t he?
16349He pitied her, and said:"My good woman, have you lost anything?
16349He pointed them out to Campbell, and said:"What kind of birds are they?
16349He said:"Is Dr. Ignatius at home?"
16349He said:"Now, Jack, what are you going to do with that knife?"
16349He said:"Oh, is that you, Pilot?
16349He said:"Ve gates, schoolmeister?
16349He said:"Where''s that Britisher?
16349He said:"You as good as any other man, are you?
16349He said:"You want a place to camp on, do n''t you?"
16349He said:''Who are you, where from, and whither bound?''
16349He slowly repeated:"Nancy Toomey has been calling me a carroty- headed crawler, has she?"
16349He stayed with us all the time, and when we had eaten, said:"''Well, have you had a good breakfast?''
16349He was, indeed, very vain and flighty, sidling along his perch and saying:"Sweet pretty Joey, who are you, who are you?
16349Her mother would be certain to miss the watch, and what was she to do with it?
16349Here, Mr. Campbell, would n''t you like to take a roast egg or two for breakfast?
16349How are you getting along?"
16349How could he betray Jemima, his future partner in life?
16349Hugh Boyle held out the bottle, and said,''Here, Mr. McLaggan, would n''t you like a nip yourself?''
16349I asked him what he would like, a drink of water or a cup of tea?
16349I said dere''s de blackfellow, and he''s got papa''s lowsers on, did n''t I now?"
16349I said:"''I guess, Jonathan, this little kid is about the same age as your youngest boy in Boston, ai n''t he?''
16349I say, Nosey, you do n''t happen to have seen any dingoes or blacks about here lately?"
16349I suppose you are an honest man; you look like it anyway, and you would not want to see me murdered, now, would you?"
16349I suppose you were asleep, eh?
16349I would like to know what right the Government, or anybody else, has to ask me for twenty pounds for putting up a hut on this sandbank?
16349Ignatius?"
16349Is it a snake you are killing?"
16349Is that it?
16349Is that what you ask?
16349It has been asked, when did life first appear on the earth?
16349Jack said:"Do you see that big fellow there?
16349Know ye not that smiling river?
16349Man alive, do n''t you know the villain wants to murder me?"
16349Mat said:"Hello, you coves, is it robbing my garden ye are?"
16349Mr. Tyers, the commissioner?
16349Neddy said one night:"Do n''t you think, Joshua, this game of yours is rather dangerous?
16349Nosey eyed him with unusual savagery, and said:"Now did n''t I tell you to say no more about your blasted sheep, or I''d see you for it?
16349Now I put it to you, Neddy, as an honest and sensible man, Am I to get no pay for that seven years''work?
16349Now what did you mean?
16349Or is it true that in our inmost souls we wanted them to die, that we might possess their land in peace?
16349Philip said:"Not very lucky to- day, mate?"
16349Philip went up to the Boozer and said:"Well, my friend, what do you want here?"
16349Sambo paused, looked up to the gum tree, and said,"By golly, who''s dere?"
16349Shackson?"
16349She said:"You see dose two ducks, Miss Sheppard?"
16349So I crossed over and met him, and went close up to him and said,''Well, what have you to say for yoursel''now?''
16349So ye never went to Gippsland at all?"
16349Tell me now, did I murder poor Baldy or did you?
16349The bees or other insects usually take the dust from one flower to the other, but I suppose there are no bees about here just now?"
16349The blacks came nearer, and one of them said,"Gib fig tobacker, mate?"
16349The great question for statesmen now is,"What is to be done for the relief of the masses?"
16349The question is rather, when did the inanimate first appear?
16349The wife said:"What are we boun''to do now, Samiul?
16349Then she said to Mrs. Martin:"Ai n''t it a pity that so respectable a young man should be tramping through the bush like a pedlar with a pack?"
16349Then turning to Cowderoy, he said:"Do you know the nature of an oath?"
16349They look curious, do n''t they?
16349This woke up Bunbury, who sang out:"What''s the matter, Ruffles?
16349To see the isolated and miserable domiciles you occupy and the hard fare on which you subsist?
16349Was I to stand here all day and say never a word for myself until they were ready to hang me?
16349Was it not you who struck him down with the axe without saying as much as''by your leave,''either to me or to him?
16349Was n''t I always on the watch for you every evening looking for you, and the chop on the fire, and the hot tea, and everything comfortable?
16349We found two women cooking supper in the kitchen, and Jonathan said to the younger one,''Is the old man at home?''
16349Well, about those buoys, eh?
16349Were you ever in Preston?"
16349What do you say, Ned?
16349What do you say, mates?
16349What do you think about it, Nosey?"
16349What doom could they expect but that of damnation and eternal death?
16349What good could it do you?
16349What has the Government done for me or anybody else in Gippsland?
16349What has the poor fellow done to you, I''d like to know?
16349What have you to say to that charge?"
16349What makes you ask?"
16349What of that?
16349What shall I do?"
16349What was to be done with the prisoner?
16349What will my friends of the club in London say, when they hear of it, but that the service is going to the dogs?"
16349What with Jack, and what with herself?
16349What wrong have I done?"
16349What''s all that noise about?"
16349Whatever am I to do?
16349Wheer are me and the childer to go in this miserable lookin''place?"
16349When he went on board he spoke to Ruffles, master of the schooner, and said:"Is the harbour- master aboard?
16349When she returned, Nosey said, in a hoarse whisper:"Is he gan yet?"
16349When the wine has been drawn off from the lees, and time has matured it, of what kind will it be?
16349Where is the sense of that, I''d like to know?
16349Which way shall we go?
16349Who are the men in the boat down the channel?"
16349Who are you?
16349Who are you?
16349Who are you?
16349Who is that cove with the spyglass?"
16349Who''s afeered?
16349Why are you here?
16349Why did n''t you leave me alone when I had the fine holt of him?"
16349Why do n''t you like them?"
16349Why do n''t you parsons make money by your eddication if it''s any good, instead of goin''round beggin''?
16349Why not transport all convicts, separate the chaff from the wheat, and purge out the old leaven?
16349You are a gentleman; you have done yourself proud, and we are thankful, ai n''t we, Jack?
16349You can box it and make a bee- line for Western Port, ca n''t you?
16349You eat me?
16349You may be found out some day by an unlucky chance, and then what will you do?"
16349You''ve done your time once, Nosey, and how would you like to do it again?
16349he said,"and what are you doing here, and where did you come from?"
16349is that you?"
16349or had he any fear of hell and eternal punishment?
16349who are you?
16349you were sent out, were you?
16349you''d like to know who does it, would you?
16349your name is Peter, is n''t it?
53648Again-- I have been enquired of, what can a man do to make property in Texas?
53648As a last resort,( could a virtuous woman think so?)
53648Better take property or life; for what of value has a man left when deprived of his"good name?"
53648Can the result be doubtful?
53648I have been frequently asked, what particular spot in Texas is the most desirable for an emigrant to settle in?
53648Is Texas a desirable place for a northern man?
53648Is it not in accordance with the christian religion, if a brother offend, to go_ privately to him_, and tell him his fault?
53648Is this denied?
53648It has often been asked, who built these mounds, and for what purpose were they erected?
53648Shall I be asked to particularize?
53648The clerk would sing out,"Wood- pile, wood- pile, where are the wooders?"
53648The rider checked his horse and said, who''s there?
53648What rational man would think of it?
53648What would the people of the several States say to this?
53648What, then, is the conclusion of the whole matter?
53648Who are the inhabitants of Illinois?
53648Who built them?
53648Who will be the biographer of_ Sam Patch_?
59302After breathing spacer air and being doped with_ iberno_ for months could we tell the difference?
59302Are you coming or not, Dorav? 59302 Are you in pain, Rea?"
59302How did it happen?
59302Rea?
59302Want to lose your eyesight, Brink?
59302What are you going to do about it?
59302What''s it?
59302Where,she asked him after a time,"are they hidden?"
59302Why are you here?
59302What was this?
59302You realize-- this is really Earth?"
41333''Do you know who the men were that you were trying to save?'' 41333 ''Will you send for him to come here at once, and say to him that Paul Des Jardines desires to see him on an important matter of business?''
41333A fine large family, indeed,said I,"but is the man of the house here?"
41333And wad ye have all the facts?
41333And why not?
41333Are all these young women members of your family?
41333Are you a freighter?
41333Are you the James S. Brown who first discovered gold in California, at Sutter''s Mill?
41333Boys,I said,"do n''t you think it is time to leave our friends and return to camp,--for we must try that ford early in the morning, you know?"
41333Could you not secure information concerning them through the records of the war department?
41333Did he say six bits?
41333Did n''t you ever hear of Jim Roach''s nephew Ben?
41333Did you ever know Jim Roach, who hauled logs to Joe Powers''saw mill at Hebron?
41333Do n''t you know that water boils at 212 degrees at sea level? 41333 Do you live in these parts?"
41333Do you mean to say that he is now living?
41333Do you mean to say that you did n''t miss a shot?
41333Do you think that Ben would go?
41333Do you think,said the elder,"that we would peacefully await the results of such threats, without taking some steps for our protection?
41333Have you been in this country long?
41333Have you had much trouble with the Indians?
41333Hello, where in h-- l are you bound for? 41333 Is that so, George?
41333Is there another cabin not far away, where the man of the house is likely to be at home?
41333Is this an ordinary Sabbath service?
41333Lee? 41333 Living?
41333Now, Elder,said I,"what was really the condition of the city when the troops arrived?
41333Sixteen shooters, ai n''t they?
41333This stream off here is a branch of Green River, is it not?
41333Wa''al, we pumped some lead the best we knew how, but were you careless enough to be standing around in that country when shooting was going on?
41333War you in the Wilderness two years ago?
41333Was it your Captain what made that h-- l of a dive from his hoss into the river?
41333Well, John, do you know what became of them?
41333Well, John, what''s the proposition? 41333 Well, what were you going to say about it?"
41333What are ye doin''up here?
41333What company were you in?
41333What do you want?
41333What have the Prussians been doing with Needle guns?
41333What is two bits?
41333What kind of a gun have you got?
41333What kind of a rifle is that you''ve got?
41333What kind of game are ye after?
41333What stream is this?
41333What the devil are you after, creeping around our camp at this time of night?
41333What''s the news from America?
41333What''s your name, anyhow?
41333Where are you from, anyhow?
41333Where did the John Childs that you know live?
41333Who is there?
41333Whose stock are you hunting?
41333Why do you think you know him? 41333 Yes, I''ve heard that, but is it in pounds, dollars, or shillings?
41333You ai n''t going there to hunt for one, are you?
41333You know him?
41333''For Heaven''s sake, how many times did you fire?''
41333''How many did you kill?''
41333''How many were killed and wounded?''
41333''No church in Silverton?''
41333''Well,''said the fellow,''may be that''s all right, but do you know anything against my reputation for honesty?''"
41333-- 1847------ 3 Charleston, Ill. Zina Diantha Jan. 31, 1821 Huntington Watertown,------ 1848(?)
41333A frown came over Shorty''s face, when he said, with some bitterness,"You think the Kentucky boys ca n''t ride much, hey?"
41333After a little consideration the captain said"Do you intend, young man, to stop my train here and go through all these wagons?"
41333Ai n''t you lost?"
41333And how about Deacon Cobb?
41333And how old was your palate then?"
41333Are we not correct in that estimate?"
41333As I was transferring the first slices of bacon to my plate, the gentleman opened the conversation by the question,"Where are you from?"
41333As one driver put it,"Do you think I''m a fool, to think that snow would n''t melt in hot weather like this?"
41333Attracted by the strange appearance, Paul addressed the girl in broken French with the question''Are you a Sioux?''
41333But do n''t you think you fellows did a lot of careless shooting around there?"
41333But what do you think they did when they saw the women on the street?
41333But why had we not learned before leaving the states that war existed between those nations?
41333But you were not in our Brigade, were you?"
41333Continuing, the Titanotherium said,"Do you see the top of that lofty bluff?"
41333Did n''t he do it all right?"
41333Did n''t they have one when Hat Morrow was buried?"
41333Did you hear about Hugh Kuykendall''s train?"
41333Did you see the fortifications in Echo Canyon?"
41333Do you know where Pumpkin Holler is, just beyond Hebron?"
41333Does it not seem childish?"
41333Each was curious to know where the other fellow came from, and without much ceremony the blunt, but good- natured question,"Where do you hail from?"
41333He replied in the single word"Yes,"with a rising inflection, as if about to ask,"Why do you wish to know?"
41333How large would be the"point"recommended in the message, upon which these migratory tribes should be settled?
41333How long is it since you heard concerning him?"
41333How old are you?"
41333How will you find him?
41333In manner the greeting was thoroughly cordial, and the words that conveyed it had no more significance than the conventional"How do you do?"
41333Is Salt Lake your home?"
41333Is there anything new concerning it?"
41333Is there much game along the stream?"
41333It is now told by Cyrus Townsend Brady, as follows:"''How many Indians were in the attack?''
41333Must we, as first- class boarders, dig the walks through the snow and build the fire?
41333Now how does that strike you?"
41333Now what''ll you have with me, gentlemen?''
41333Now, what do they look like?"
41333One of the men gruffly asked,"Who are_ you_?"
41333Shall victory be wrested from defeat?
41333Soon, can you tell us why Indian warriors wear so many feathers and decorate their heads in so grand a fashion, while their women dress more simply?
41333Soon?"
41333The chief said to the young bucks,''Take him away, for have I not said it?''
41333The reply, as might have been expected, was embodied in a few vigorous curses, and the question,"What the h-- l have we got to do with your oxen?"
41333The younger boy, anxious to obtain Dan''s mature opinion on the case, asked with trembling voice,"Doctor, do you think brother will get well?"
41333To whom could Jules more properly convey the tidings than to Oo- je- an- a- he- ah, to whom he frankly told the story of his recent adventure?
41333Was it possible that there could be another trail to the North?
41333Was it that big, bright moon that had brought out the myriad denizens of the hills to howl their wild refrains?
41333Well, we got rooms for them, but what does a wild Indian know about a bed?
41333What are they?"
41333What could have been the meaning of this occult sentence?
41333What could stop the flight of this Pegasus but sheer exhaustion?
41333What has been your practice in this kind of travel with reference to Sabbath observance?"
41333What were the experiences of the hundreds of men, women, and soldiers who in that fateful season were traversing those Wyoming trails?
41333What would be their condition two weeks later?
41333What''s the scheme?"
41333While this was being done by the dim light of a lantern, some passenger was sure to put his head out of the window and ask,"Where are we now?"
41333Why can you drive farther by resting full days rather than to rest your stock a little more each day?"
41333Would they all welcome the fourth wife, if another should be escorted to the door?
41333Ye want something out of me?''
41333do you know that he has them in every part of Utah?
46304And Francisco?
46304And has he become a bankrupt since then, or a beggar?
46304And it is to his sister''s dwelling that you are leading_ me_?
46304And to return?
46304And what may that have been?
46304And whence will you seek succour?
46304And where is he now, or how engaged?
46304And why does the gallant Colonel Valdez loiter in the rear, when his men are in action?
46304And why, why did you hold back?
46304And you are prepared to die-- so young, so beautiful, to die a traitress?
46304And you know the alternative?
46304And your sentence?
46304But what has led you so completely to alter your views and intentions?
46304But whither, whither are you about to lead us?
46304Can it be done?
46304Colonel Don Juan de Alava, on your honour, as a soldier and a gentleman, do you know where this American woman now is?
46304Did I understand you aright, young sir? 46304 Do you know that they say jealous husbands make false wives?
46304Do you think me less firm than a woman?
46304Have you heard anything,he asked, quietly,"from the forest in our rear?"
46304Have you sworn secrecy?
46304Heard I what?
46304How came the lady''s horse in the stable?
46304How saved?
46304Is it so, lady?--is it so, indeed?
46304Is that a blush of consciousness, or of shame, Julia?
46304Is there so much danger?
46304It is?
46304It may save us-- who knows?
46304Jealous of me, Arthur?
46304Not severely-- not fatally, at least?
46304On your honour, do you know where the lady is at this moment?
46304Our journey''s end-- Taylor''s camp, of course-- where else_ should_ it be?
46304Quien Sabe?
46304Remain in concealment, here?
46304That is soon done, so far as we men are concerned,replied the Partisan;"but how do you get_ her_ across rivers such as this?"
46304Well, sir, and who are you, then, I pray?
46304What could become of him? 46304 What have I done,"she cried, passionately,"what have I done that you thus spurn me-- thus despise me?"
46304What have you done, mad girl? 46304 What then?
46304Where is Estefania?
46304Where is she?
46304Where is she?
46304Where is the lady gone who was here last night?
46304Where is your officer?
46304Who groomed him?
46304Who knows?
46304You know it? 46304 _ Madre de Dios_, who is this?"
46304''Do you dare to resist an officer?
46304And high above all other sounds, and high arose the cry of the Texans--"Remember the Alama, the Alamo?"
46304And, as the next question, what made you count upon me?"
46304But as I have endeavoured to serve you truly, as I intend to do to the end-- as I am resolved to die for you-- will you spare_ me_, I say?
46304But now it is my turn to ask,"and his voice assumed a deeper tone of feeling, and his whole manner showed an intenser meaning,"will_ you_ spare_ me_?
46304But what could I do?
46304Did you say Julia Forester has no home save in the tent of a second lieutenant of dragoons?"
46304Do not you say so, lieutenant?"
46304I knew not_ then_, I know not even now, what it was I said-- will you but forgive me?"
46304Is it a bargain?"
46304Is it, indeed, you?
46304Is your glance answered?
46304Now where may that very definite place, which you call your journey''s end, be?
46304One question more-- will you reveal it?"
46304She has promised to be a sister to poor Marguerita; will you do likewise?"
46304The general cast his eyes sternly round the circle, reading the judgment of each man by his face, as he asked:"Are they guilty of high treason?"
46304Thou wilt be cared for; will he not, Gordon-- Julia?"
46304What could we do?"
46304What harm can one poor devil like that do to six stout, well- armed fellows, such as we?"
46304What shall I do to win your forgiveness?"
46304Where is that lady?"
46304Where is the lady?"
46304Who are you, fellow, speak?"
46304Who ever served or loved a woman and met with other guerdon for his services?
46304Who is this, I say, who is this, Marguerita?"
46304Will you trust me and follow me?
46304You have read it?"
46304You will be good to him, Gordon?"
46304You will permit me Gordon?"
46304a fairy bower, and a fair woman, in this howling wilderness?"
46304and he gazed at her in blank astonishment;"I despise you?"
46304can this be so?
46304exclaimed Julia, wildly catching him by the arm,"why did you not rush upon them?"
46304for that, false girl?"
46304have not they cut him off?"
46304it can not be-- the daughter of my best and oldest friend, Colonel John Forester?
46304she cried, fervently;"do my eyes tell me truly?
46304she cried, imploringly,"will you call me Julia?
46304she exclaimed in a low whisper,"heard you that?"
46304when will this have an end?"
46304will you have no sentinel?"
12895And did you dance with a thousand squaws?
12895And do you believe that we can pass them in the morning without being attacked by them?
12895And what are you going to do with those horrid Indians''hair?
12895Did they try to kill you?
12895Did you see any Indians?
12895Guards? 12895 How many men are there in the train?"
12895How many men?
12895How many women?
12895Shall we go and eat with them, Willie?
12895Shall we have a reserve on horseback as we did before?
12895What did it sound like?
12895What is your object in going down there, Capt.?
12895What will you charge him if you take the job?
12895Where is Cherry creek?
12895Will, why do n''t you tell the girls how you enjoyed your first drink of soda water?
12895A few minutes after this Freemont said,"Say, Carson, why not go to that lake there and camp?
12895After laying around a few days and resting up, Jonnie West said to me,"Will, what are we going to do this winter?
12895After staring at us a while, one of them, an old man, said,"Where in creation are you two men from?"
12895After thinking a minute Carson asked,"How many of the men have their own traps and blankets?"
12895After watching him a while, Jim said,"What are you going to do with him, Will?"
12895After we had finished eating, Jim said to the lady,"Are you going to run a boarding house when you get to California?"
12895An elderly woman came to us and said,"Ai n''t you two men what they call mountaineers?"
12895And another said,"How in creation are we going to get home?
12895And did you come all the way alone?
12895And in a few moments the band struck up in a Coyote howl, and Jim laughed and said,"There, did n''t I promise you a band?
12895And looking over the ground he asked,"Who is your captain?
12895Are they crazy?
12895Are they not a species of a dog?"
12895As I came near to the elder lady she came to meet me and holding out her hand, clasping mine she said,"Are you going to leave us tomorrow?"
12895As I came up to the fire, the wagon boss said,"What in the name of common sense was the racket about?
12895As I threw one of the Antelopes off the horse, a middle aged woman said,"Mr. Drannan, can I have a piece of this one?
12895As soon as Uncle Kit saw the men doing this, he said,"What do they mean?
12895As soon as the Indians disappeared Jim slapped his hands and said,"Did n''t I tell you the effect that bonnet would have on the Red Skins?
12895As soon as they were gone Freemont came to Carson and said,"What in the name of common sense are you going to do with all those furs?"
12895As soon as we had divided the money, he said,"Now, are you willing to do the scout work and take the lead of this company?
12895As soon as we had finished eating, Jim stood up and in a loud voice said,"Ladies, how many of you can dance?"
12895As we were riding along, Bridger said,"Where, do you suppose all these people came from?"
12895At last he said,"Mr. Drannan, have you made any definite arrangements with Col. Chivington regarding taking the train through the Comanche country?"
12895At that moment one of the men said,"Who is this coming?"
12895At this time two men stepped up to Jim Bridger and me and said,"Why ca n''t you two stay all night with us?
12895Before I could answer them Jim Bridger, who had come near unobserved by me, said,"Will, suppose we give them the double howl?"
12895Bent and Mr. Roubidoux and report to me as quickly as possible?"
12895Bent and Mr. Roubidoux to load the train with Buffalo robes to freight back to the Missouri river?
12895Bent can raise a company?
12895Bent give to the message that I sent by you?"
12895Bent or Roubidoux?
12895Bent said to me,"Will, do you want to go and trade with the Indians for me now, or have you caught the gold fever too?"
12895Bent said,"Did you have any goods left over?"
12895Bent said,"Well, Kit, are you going down there to investigate the matter?"
12895Bent said,"Would you be offended if I asked you how much money Col. Chivington paid you for that work, Will?"
12895Bent then turned to me and said,"Mr. Drannan, will you take a pack train and go among the Indians and trade for robes for us?"
12895Bison or Antelope?"
12895Bridger said,"What do you say, Will?"
12895Ca n''t one of you boys kill one tomorrow for supper?
12895Ca n''t you see it?"
12895Carson answered,"Yes, and wo n''t you send three men along to bury the dead?"
12895Davis turned to us and said,"What is your price for the trip?"
12895Did n''t I tell you all that them scalps was worth more to us than all the soldiers we could get around us?
12895Did you ever see a prettier sight?
12895Did you hang up some of their scalps so that they could see them and know they would share the same fate as their comrades if they did not keep away?"
12895Do n''t you want to go with me?"
12895Do you intend to go yourself Carson?"
12895Do you think if they had known any thing of Indian trickery they would have left our protection to go hunting in the very heart of the Indian country?
12895Do you think it possible that these wretches have been into Kansas and robbed the people there?"
12895Do you think it possible to find their bodies if they were killed?"
12895Drannan?"
12895Drannan?"
12895Drannan?"
12895Drannan?"
12895Drannan?"
12895Finally he said,"Well they were a good crowd of people, were n''t they Will?
12895Have you no hesitation at all in going among the Indians?"
12895He answered,"What can we do, Will?
12895He asked,"How many squaws were there in the dance?"
12895He came back as I was just getting up and said,"Guess how many horses there are in the bunch we have taken?"
12895He said it was, but he hoped it would not be his last, and said,"Can you tell me why they have such an extra flavor?"
12895He said,"Boys, where in the name of common sense are you going to?"
12895He said,"Ca n''t I give it another trial?"
12895He said,"Can we take as good advantage of this outfit as we did of the other one?"
12895He said,"Have we got to pass in full view of that Indian village?"
12895He said,"Have you been to Cherry creek?"
12895He said,"How will you do it?"
12895He said,"I am a stranger in this country; will you please tell me where the main body of the Comanches are at this time of the year?"
12895He said,"In that case there is no need of all these men as an escort, is there?"
12895He said,"Mr. Drannan, what do you think is the best way to attack them?"
12895He said,"Well, wo n''t you wait a few days until I can organize a company to go with me to Colorado, and we will go with you as far as Bent''s Fort?"
12895He said,"What could you have had for dinner that it took all day to eat it?"
12895He said,"What have you found?
12895He said,"What in creation was the matter with them?
12895He said,"Willie, my boy, ca n''t you find these men as well as anyone?"
12895He said:"How can I ever pay this friend for suffering so much for me, and you, a stranger, for seeking to find me in the trackless wilderness?"
12895How in the name of common sense could you make such a bargain as that?"
12895How in the name of god have they got here without being massacred?"
12895How many Buffalos would it take to cover a half a mile square?"
12895How many butcher knives have you?"
12895How many men do you want to go with you?"
12895How much shall I tell them?"
12895I almost feel as though I ought to go myself, but I can not leave my family at the present time; now, Jim, will you go?"
12895I answered,"Col., if you were a member of a secret organization, would you think it right to give away the secret to outsiders?"
12895I answered,"Why not camp here?
12895I answered,"Why, I certainly could not show any partiality there, could I?"
12895I asked him,"Why?"
12895I asked,"On what part of the Colorado river?"
12895I laughed and answered,"Did you think I was going to marry a squaw and settle down in the Indian village, Capt?
12895I presume it was between two and three o''clock in the afternoon when Col. Freemont called out to Carson,"How far are you going tonight?"
12895I said to Jim,"Are you hungry?"
12895I said to Jim,"Why do n''t you tell the people, what we can do for them?"
12895I said to him,"General, how in the name of common sense did you hear of all that?"
12895I said to them,"Men, what are you doing here, and where are your teams and the rest of the men who went with you?"
12895I said,"Gentlemen, I want to ask you a few questions before I answer yours; how many wagons have you in this train?"
12895I said,"How is that, Jim?"
12895I said,"Now, which one of you are going to try it again first?
12895I said,"Some of those horses belong to you, how many do you want?"
12895I said,"That is a few more than we can find a place for, is n''t it?"
12895I said,"What are you laying here for?"
12895I said,"What became of your wagons and teams?"
12895I said,"What kind of meat do you prefer, ladies?"
12895I said,"What makes you think so, Jim?"
12895I said,"Why not?"
12895I said,"You certainly are not going to start on such a journey alone, are you?
12895I sang out,"What do you say, Jim?
12895I saw that they were a little encouraged by the first one''s success, so I said,"Who comes next?"
12895I then went back to Simson who had charge of the wagons and said to him,"What shall we do with that old man?
12895I thought a minute and said,"Ca n''t we take our little ax and chop one of their horns off?"
12895I turned to Jim Bridger and said,"Jim, what do you think of this proposition?"
12895If he goes had we not better take his team away from him and save his life and his family''s?"
12895In view of the great change that has taken place in the last half century, what will the next half century bring?
12895Is n''t that music?"
12895Is n''t that something good?"
12895Jim Bridger said,"What are you going there for, Will?"
12895Jim Bridger turned to me and said,"Will, what do you think it would be worth?"
12895Jim answered,"Did n''t I tell you that them scalps was worth an army of soldiers to us, and has n''t this proved my words to be true?
12895Jim answered,"Why, durn it all, ai n''t that what you are paying us for?
12895Jim asked,"How many men are there in the company?"
12895Jim asked,"How many wagons have you in this outfit?"
12895Jim came to me as soon as I rode in and said,"Will, have you seen anything of the men that went hunting this morning?"
12895Jim did not answer for a few moments, and then he said,"Who will go with me next year Willie?
12895Jim laughed and said,"He never stopped to thank us, did he?
12895Jim listened a moment and said,"What in thunder does that mean?"
12895Jim looked up at them, and seeing that there was mischief in their eyes, he said,"Say, gals, ca n''t I have one of them?"
12895Jim said to me,"What do you say, Will?"
12895Jim said,"Did you do that, Will?"
12895Jim said,"Do n''t that beat any thing you ever heard?"
12895Jim said,"Have you got no Captain?"
12895Jim said,"Have you got something good to eat?"
12895Jim said,"How in the plague, Will, are we going to get these critters apart?
12895Jim said,"How many wagons have you?"
12895Jim said,"Is it calf pie?
12895Jim said,"Is there cake too?
12895Jim said,"Well, how will Coyote do you?
12895Jim said,"What for?"
12895Jim said,"Which way do you think of going?"
12895Jim said,"Will, do you think you can drill your men in one day so they will know enough to risk starting out day after tomorrow?"
12895Jim said,"Will, do you think you can reach them with your rifle?"
12895Jim then asked,"Who puts out your guards around the camp at night?"
12895Jim then turned to me and said,"Will, do you see that open ridge yonder?"
12895Jonnie West said,"What did you see, Jim?"
12895Jonnie said,"Why did n''t you kill her?"
12895McKee crawled to the place where I was waiting and whispered,"Why not make the charge at once?
12895McKee frowned and said,"Do n''t you think your lives worth more than twenty- five dollars, men?"
12895McKee said to me,"What do you think of it?"
12895McKee said,"Does n''t this beat you?
12895McKee said,"Two butcher knives for the safety of all our lives and all the property in our care?
12895McKee said,"What do you think is best to do?
12895McKee said,"Wo n''t you be taking a desperate chance, Mr. Drannan, in going to meet those savages when you are not sure whether you know them or not?"
12895McKee, one of the horsemen said,"Where is our part of the fight?
12895McKee?"
12895Now what do you think about it?"
12895One asked,"Are these the two men the papers said so much about last fall?
12895One girl said,"Have we got to have music every time we have Buffalo meat?"
12895One man said,"Hurt?
12895One of the committee men came to where Jim and I were sitting and said,"What shall we do about finding and burying those bodies?"
12895One of the committee said,"Well, so you propose to pull out and go on?"
12895One of the girls said,"What kind of a dance is that?"
12895One of the men asked,"Are these the men that piloted a train across and had the trouble at Honey Lake last year?"
12895One of the men asked,"Where are you going to get your music?"
12895One of the men said,"General, can you tell us whether the Indians are on the war path or not between here and Salt Lake?"
12895One of the men said,"Is this the commander at the Fort?"
12895One of the men said,"What will Bridger do with them horrid bloody things?"
12895One of the men then said,"Ai n''t you Jim Bridger and Will Drannan that the commander at the Fort told us about?"
12895One of them said,"How would we live?"
12895One of them said,"Mr. Drannan, do you think our husbands have been killed by the Indians?"
12895One of them said,"What can it be?"
12895One said,"Do I know how to hunt turkeys by night?
12895One said,"I can never tell them,"and the other said,"We must, for they will have to be told, and who else will do it?"
12895Shall we all come down together as we did with you?"
12895She said she had never seen a scalp dance, and said,"What is it like?"
12895She said,"Mr. Drannan, may I have a piece of that yearling''s hind quarter?
12895She said,"What kind of an animal is an Elk?"
12895So I said,"Uncle Kit, are you going to kill an Indian and cook him for supper?"
12895So the job is yours, and Mr. Drannan, can you tell me just about how long you will be gone so I can lay my plans to meet you here at Bent''s Fort?"
12895So what are you going to do?"
12895Some of the men jumped to their feet exclaiming,"What was that?"
12895Suppose the Indians should make an attack on them over there, and there was no Commander there, what do you think the soldiers would do?
12895Supposing the Indians get after us?
12895The Captain laughed and said:"Well, my good woman, here is my comrade, Mr. Drannan; what shall we do with him?
12895The Col. said,"Do n''t you think you are taking a great many chances?"
12895The Col. said,"Yes, but by whom will you send them to Taos?"
12895The Col. then said,"Now Mr. Drannan, what do you expect for your trouble in piloting the train here?"
12895The Gen. answered,"Is that possible?
12895The evening before we were to set out in the morning the Capt said,"Which way shall we go?"
12895The man said,"Do you think we would get lost?"
12895The man said,"Does n''t the road get any better?"
12895The old man said,"Want to see our Capt''n?
12895The whole company to follow their trail, or my men and I stop here and you and your scouts keep on after them and locate them if you can?"
12895Then he said,"That is a Cinnamon Bear, but where are the cubs?"
12895There is no stream in the world that has purer water than the Truckee river, and do you see that snowcapped mountain yonder?"
12895There is plenty of game there, is there not?"
12895They all asked at once,"How is that, aunty?"
12895They all commenced to laugh and asked,"How are you going to catch it?"
12895They are too plaguey poor to eat, so we do n''t want to kill them, and they will die if we leave them in this fix; what shall we do, Will?"
12895They both looked at John in amazement, and the Col. said,"Thank you very much, but where in creation did you get them?"
12895They said,"Why, ca n''t we go with you and help to fight the wretches?
12895This seemed to surprise him, for he looked at me as though I was insane in making such a remark and said,"What do you mean, young man?"
12895Uncle Kit said,"Why do n''t you throw the stuff on the ground?
12895Well, I answered,"How will a cub bear do?"
12895What are they?
12895What are you going to do with them?"
12895What do they look like?"
12895What do you propose doing when you come back?"
12895What do you suppose caused those Indians to leave?"
12895What do you think is the best plan to adopt?"
12895What is it?"
12895What made them get up and run?
12895What shall I do?"
12895What shall we do?"
12895What would a hundred soldiers have done with that whole tribe of Indians?
12895What would have become of the whole of us this morning if you two men had not been here to guard us?
12895When I had it ready to eat, the wagon boss said,"Well, who ever thought of eating Bears''Feet?
12895When I heard his footsteps, he said,"I followed that dog nearly a mile, and then I found the cause of his howling, and what do you think it was?"
12895When do you want to start?"
12895When he rode up to us Bridger said,"Gen., what do you think?
12895Where do you suppose they are going, Gen?"
12895Who would live in such a country as this is?
12895Why do you ask?"
12895Will you tell me the secret of your influence with the red men?"
12895You see what these other men came to by not obeying their orders, and do you want to bring us all to the predicament they are in?"
12895asked,"Which way we shall make the attack, on our horses or on foot?"
12895makes the arrangement in regard to the freighting of the Buffalo robes, where can I find you?"
12895now turned to the wagon master and said,"How much further do you want me and my men to accompany you?"
12895rode to my side and said,"Mr. Drannan, will you tell me how it is that you have such a control over those Indians?
12895said to me,"Where shall we make our camp?
12895said,"Mr. Drannan, how is it that you can go into those Indian villages be they large or small?
12895said,"What are you giving us?
30349''Ow you get''urted?
30349Ai n''t she the brazen sassy thing?
30349And I spoke of it, did I? 30349 And have-- have you been here all the time?"
30349And so,ventured the good wife, amiably,"you iss likely de sister from Hugo Ennis, ma''am?"
30349And would you like me to close the door now?
30349And-- and that is the sort of place you''ve brought me to?
30349And-- and what d''ye think about it, Miss Sophy?
30349And-- and where''s the town-- or the village-- and the other people, the friends who were to greet me?
30349And-- and ye left her at Hugo''s shack, did ye?
30349Any oders as need help?
30349Anything for us, Joe?
30349Are you busy, Joe?
30349Are-- are you Hugo Ennis?
30349But I wonder who the deuce she was going to shoot with that thing?
30349But look here, Stefan, what are you butting in for?
30349But the stone?
30349But what right have you to be ordering us about?
30349But when''s she due, Joe?
30349But who did it?
30349But you''ll tell me, Joe, wo n''t you?
30349But-- couldn''t I walk? 30349 Could n''t I get out and walk for a while?
30349D''ye happen to know whether there''s a-- a young''ooman there too?
30349D''ye know for sure what kind o''place ye''re goin''to? 30349 D''ye know who she is?"
30349Dat all vhat dere is for Toumichouan?
30349Did she say she was anyways related to him? 30349 Do you expect to keep on looking after this man?"
30349Do you expect to stay up all night?
30349Do you really think that you can manage to stay here for another day?
30349Do you think that-- that Mr. Ennis will come soon?
30349Do you think you would like some of those nice fresh eggs Mrs. Papineau''s little girl brought this morning?
30349Do-- do they suspect any one?
30349Do-- do you really believe such a thing?
30349Do-- do you really understand? 30349 Git back there, Sophy, what''s the matter with ye?
30349Going in for provisions? 30349 Him Hugo yoost say,''Now I kin look Mis''Olsen in de face, vhen ve gets back, eh, old pard?''"

30349How do you do, Miss Nelson?
30349How do, peoples?
30349How is Hugo gettin''long?
30349How long ago did they leave?
30349How''d she stand the trip? 30349 How-- how long have I been asleep?"
30349I hope you ai n''t hurted none, leddy?
30349I reckon you got out to Roarin''Falls all safe with that there pooty gal, did n''t ye?
30349I wonder what will come of it?
30349Is that fellow Ennis over to his shack?
30349Is there anything else you would like?
30349Is-- is everything all right?
30349Is-- is that your-- your house, the-- the residence you spoke of?
30349Leetle leddy,he said, gently,"vos it true as you shot him?
30349Me?
30349Mistaken, was it?
30349One of your books?
30349Or do you have to melt ice?
30349Poor little thing, I wonder what''s to become of her? 30349 Py de looks off tem togs I tink you ban in some hurry, no?"
30349She is n''t coming back to- night?

30349What business did she come on, anyways?
30349What d''ye say, Stefan?
30349What did she do?
30349What do you think of it, Madge?
30349What do you want to know?
30349What does this mean?
30349What for?
30349What is that river?
30349What letters?
30349What revenge was that you was referring to?
30349What was it about, Joe?
30349What we want to know is who you are, and what right ye''ve got to order us about and say who''s goin''in and who''s to keep out?
30349What''s all that?
30349What''s the matter with him?
30349What''s the matter with ye? 30349 What''s the matter?"
30349What''s your hurry? 30349 Where did you leave your passenger of this morning?"
30349Where does one get it?
30349Where''s Hugo Ennis?
30349Who go an''shoot you?
30349Who know? 30349 Who wants a doctor?"
30349Who''s getting messages? 30349 Who''s the strange lady, Stefan?"
30349Why do you think so?
30349Will you please go and find out if Mr. Ennis is there, and whether he is all right again? 30349 Wo n''t the dogs be dreadfully tired,"she asked,"if you go back so soon?"
30349Wo n''t you come in and warm yourself a while?
30349Wonder who''s coming? 30349 Would you like me to get you an envelope, for it?"
30349Ye was n''t here to see, was ye? 30349 You''d fixed it up to spend the night at Papineau''s?"
30349You''ll hurry, wo n''t you?
30349You-- you believe me, do n''t you?
30349Your husband?
30349Your-- your friend, Monsieur Hugo, is dreadfully ill, do you understand, child? 30349 Ai n''t she the hot- tempered thing? 30349 Ai n''t you got skins to put on?
30349Ain''t-- ain''t tryin''to hide behind a gal''s skirts, are ye?"
30349Ain''t-- ain''t you there, Stefan?"
30349And she ai n''t asked for money, ai n''t that funny?
30349And so that there young''ooman''s been up there a matter o''three- four days, ai n''t she?"
30349And what if, at least in part, she had spoken the truth?
30349And-- and who are you?
30349And-- and you know vhat is first ting he say vhen he vake up?"
30349Are you certain it''s all right?"
30349Are you going back to- day?"
30349But if he was a minute late, what then?
30349But in this case how could a fellow be brutal to a poor thing that wailed like a child, that seemed weaker than one and more in need of gentle care?
30349But then how had she got hold of his name and how had she ever heard of Roaring River?
30349But what if he were very ill?
30349But what would he think?
30349But-- but can I really earn all this-- are you sure that it isn''t--""Charity on my part?"
30349Ca n''t you find another lamp here-- this one does n''t give much light?"
30349Can you realize what it is to be at the very end of one''s tether?"
30349Could he have realized that her saving grace might avert condign punishment?
30349Could you take me over to the depot in time for the afternoon train west?
30349D''ye tink dey vant ter bodder Hugo, or de lady, Stefan?"
30349D''ye want to be torn to pieces?
30349Did he ever speak of havin''some gal back east?"
30349Did he think that a few halting words could atone for his cruelty, could dispel the evil he had wrought?
30349Did n''t Hugo Ennis tell you bring varm clothes vid you?"
30349Did ye see if her nose was still on her face when ye got there?"
30349Did you follow my orders?
30349Do n''t you beliefe?
30349Do n''t you know there''s the Sullivan law now?
30349Do n''t you remember the county surveyors told us so last year?"
30349Do you think I''ve been a shameless creature to venture into this?
30349Do you think such a word could express all that a man would be overwhelmed with if he had done such a thing?
30349Do you think you could try a little cold corned beef?
30349Do-- do you really think he''s going to die?"
30349Don''t-- don''t come back without a doctor will you?"
30349Don''t-- don''t you feel something of-- of the same sort, or-- or do you still think the joke was a good one?"
30349Don''t-- don''t you understand me?
30349Ennis?"
30349Guess ye''ve been settin''too close to the hot stove, ai n''t ye?
30349Had Madge noticed how gentle he was with the little children?
30349Had n''t the doctor said that incessant care might perhaps, with luck, bring about a recovery?
30349He say,''How I look at your voman an''de kids in de face, vhen I gets back vidout you?''
30349He wondered whether, perhaps, this had been the case with her?
30349Here''s a can of condensed milk; wo n''t you help yourself?
30349His sister or something like that?"
30349How can I ever thank you?"
30349How could he keep it so tranquil and unmoved?
30349How could they breathe?
30349How d''ye know she done it a- purpose, for revenge?
30349How dared he offer to pay for what she had done?
30349How does it strike you?"
30349How is he?"
30349How long would it take me to get there?"
30349How should I know what she would do?"
30349How you do, sare?
30349How''s Hugo-- Hugo Ennis?"
30349Hugo would be a neighbor, for what are a dozen miles or so in the wilderness?
30349I suppose you know that you''re soon going to be called as a witness?"
30349I-- I think a good many things work that way in the world, don''t-- don''t you, Mr. Ennis?
30349If Ennis he come you tell him come ofer to me, ye hear?"
30349If this was the case, what would it avail for him to take her back to the railway?
30349In a few moments she would see for the first time the man she was to marry]"What''s that?"
30349Is n''t that the freight''s whistle?
30349It stood to reason that the man had written those letters; how could it be otherwise?
30349It-- it has n''t proved such a very good one, has it?
30349Jus''telegraph quick now an''h''ask for answer ven dat_ docteur_ he come, you''ear me?"
30349Let me see, where did I put them?
30349Lost something on the road, has he?"
30349May be ye''d like to see it, Miss Sophy?
30349Maybe de good Lord Heem''ear an''tink let heem lif a whiles yet, eh?"
30349Mebbe get all right again, eh?
30349My man Philippe''e come to- morrow, maybe to- night, an''I send heem to Carcajou so he telegraph to de_ docteur_ for see you, eh?"
30349Old man Symonds at the mill?"
30349One dog heem not much nurse, eh?"
30349Rather unexpected, was n''t it?
30349See ye did n''t manage ter freeze them whiskers off''n yer face, did ye?"
30349She did not understand; how could she?
30349She would lay the envelope on the table, with its contents, and quietly say-- well, what could she say?
30349Supposing that he was telling the truth, what then?
30349Then why had he played such a sorry joke on a woman who had never injured him?
30349Und vhat you tank he do, ma''am?
30349Vat for he shoot?"
30349Vhat he care for de red- headed t''ing?"
30349Was n''t it funny?
30349Was n''t it possible for one, in such a case, to do queer things and never remember anything about them afterwards?
30349Was n''t it queer?
30349Was she really insane?
30349Was there any hope that this outflowing life would ever turn in its course and return like an incoming tide?
30349Were there any who had reason to dislike him; had he made love to any of them?
30349What Docteur Starr heem say before he go?"
30349What are ye goin''to do for him?
30349What consolation or comfort could he proffer?
30349What did she care?
30349What difference could it make?
30349What had possessed her to spend some of her scant store of money in that dirty little shop for a pistol?
30349What if her errand seemed fantastic, unreal, since this new world also was like some illusion of a dream?
30349What if neither of the child''s conclusions was correct?
30349What if some amazing distortion of reality had truly and honestly given her these beliefs, through evidence that must be all against him?
30349What mattered it how many dogs he had?
30349What object was there in moving there or anywhere else?
30349What on earth was the matter?
30349What right had a man who was guilty of such conduct to begin proffering a repentance that was unavailing, nay, contemptible?
30349What was the use of anything she might do?
30349What would happen to her then?
30349What would he be like?
30349What would he think of her?
30349What you tank?
30349What''s happened to Stefan to make him go back?
30349What''s that ye was goin''to say?"
30349What''s your purpose in coming here?"
30349What-- what can I do for you?"
30349What-- what do you think of it yourself, honestly?
30349What-- what is the use of my saying anything more?
30349Where are they?"
30349Where was she going to?
30349Where would she drift to after that?
30349Who could say?
30349Who vant to start de row now, who begin?
30349Who was she that she should aspire to this thing?
30349Who would have thought of such a thing?
30349Why do n''t ye come right out with it?"
30349Why had he not found a suitable mate in that country?
30349Why should n''t one believe a man with such frank and honest eyes, one who would n''t harm even a dog and was loved and trusted by little children?
30349Why that last sacrilegious lie he had uttered?
30349Why, why do n''t you speak, man?"
30349Will you take me to Carcajou in good time?
30349Would he imagine that she was running after him and trying to compel him to marry her?
30349Would she again see him able to lift up his head, to speak in words no longer dictated by the vagaries of delirium?
30349You vant to go, no?"
30349You want for see?"
6732Query, which was the worst, the evil or the cure?
6732What more could you want?
6732Why are they not, then, in the log cabins which are entirely built of pine?
32383Ai n''t you even goin''to try to help me? 32383 All ready, Miss Jessie?"
32383And you left the window open?
32383Are you badly hurt?
32383Are you mad?
32383Are you sick, child? 32383 Are you?"
32383Been buying melons?
32383But has n''t the boy got a pair of lungs, though? 32383 But suppose he should refuse to give us a deed on account of the claim''s standing in father''s name?"
32383Can you slow the horses down?
32383Crops plumb ruined, you say, Miss Leslie?
32383Did Mr. Horton catch his horse?
32383Did you hear that, Jessie?
32383Did you notice the brand, Leslie?
32383Do n''t you count them every night?
32383Do you really think so, papa?
32383Do you recollect, Leslie,Jessie chimed in,"what Mrs. Loyd told us about her encounter with a lynx, last year?
32383Do you think you can?
32383Do you? 32383 Do you?"
32383Either of you shoot?
32383Guard? 32383 Had I better take the money with me?"
32383Had Leslie better come down with the others to- morrow?
32383Has he been here again?
32383Have n''t you got the milking done yet, Jessie?
32383Honey, hit ain''likely, now, is hit, dat any one has dish yer pore little feller''s good more at heart dan I has, now is hit?
32383How came you in the cavern?
32383How could you be so careless, Leslie? 32383 How did you do it?
32383How far have you got to go?
32383How is that?
32383How long will it take you to ride it?
32383I could easily carry him up there,he said, with a somewhat sheepish look,"but I suppose you could n''t fetch him home?"
32383I thought you were a cattleman?
32383I''m afraid it hurt you dreadfully, did n''t it, Jessie?
32383If all the world were apple- pie, and all the sea were ink, and all the trees were bread and cheese, what should we have to drink?
32383Is breakfast ready, dear? 32383 Is n''t it a mercy that our corn and wheat have been let to grow in peace this year?"
32383Is n''t there some way of making Frank keep straight without whipping him?
32383It will take me nearly four hours, I should think, should n''t you?
32383Jessie''s dictionary?
32383Joe,I said to him one morning, as he was about starting for the field,"what is the matter?
32383Keer? 32383 Must there be a new survey made?"
32383Nice morning, ai n''t it? 32383 Ob a''cindery?
32383Oh, ai n''t you goin''t''give''em to me now?
32383Oh, has he? 32383 Oh, he''s gone, then?"
32383Oh, is it there?
32383Oh, is that what causes that noise?
32383Oh, yes; entirely; I think the whole herd must have been there; not feeding quietly so much as tearing through--"You say the whole herd? 32383 Shall me pull up''e rest of''em?"
32383Shall we take the Bible now?
32383T''ink I kin? 32383 Tell sister what has frightened you?"
32383Tell you? 32383 That will cost a good deal, too, wo n''t it?"
32383Then ye''ll go?
32383There, Ralph, is n''t that nice? 32383 This is a sightly place for a house, ai n''t it?"
32383Toothache, eh? 32383 W''at I t''ink?

32383W''en yo''''low fur ter git dat titull?

32383Watkin''s Lateral?
32383We have already been here some time; how late is it, Jessie?
32383Well?
32383Well?
32383Wet, ai n''t it?
32383What I want to know,cried Mrs. Horton, her face fiery with indignation,"is, whose cattle were they?
32383What a fuss you are making, Guard-- what''s the matter?
32383What are you looking in the dictionary for?
32383What do you think, then, Joe?
32383What for is us doin''so fas''?
32383What for, dear?
32383What for?
32383What has happened?
32383What have you done with Ralph?
32383What have you lost, Joe?
32383What is it, Guard-- have you got a wildcat in there?
32383What on earth are you trying to do?
32383What place is that?
32383What was it that your friend, the miner, said, Jessie?
32383What was it?
32383What''s that?
32383What, away out on the plains, beyond the valley? 32383 What, you and I, Leslie?"
32383What?
32383When do you look for Mr. Horton to return?
32383Where does it all come from?
32383Where is we?
32383Where''s my coat, Leslie, did you get it mended?
32383Where?
32383Who comes with me?
32383Whose is it?
32383Why did you follow me? 32383 Why did you leave that thing to come back to me, sir?
32383Why do n''t you answer him, then?
32383Why do n''t you eat your supper, Jessie?
32383Why do n''t you whip him for it?
32383Why not to- morrow?
32383Why not? 32383 Why not?"
32383Why was he so anxious to get to town early this morning?
32383Why, what is that for?
32383Why; what about?
32383Will that take more than the fees would amount to?
32383Will you?
32383Yes, and what then?
32383Yo''reckons hit gwine fur''sturb him, jess fur me ter tek''a look at him, honey?
32383You mean want of management, do n''t you?
32383You refer to the time when the great forest was burned?
32383You think I lost the button there, do you?
32383You thought, when you opened the window last night, and stole it off the ledge, that it was the Bible, with our family record in it, did n''t you?
32383You''re posted quite a consid''able; ai n''t you, Miss Smarty? 32383 You''re real spry on the machine, are n''t you?"
32383You''re tired, are n''t you, Leslie?
32383Your first notice came out along in the spring, did n''t it?
32383About what was liable to happen sometimes, and did happen here once, a good many years ago?"
32383After breakfast, perhaps, I had better go with you after the cows?"
32383And now, how is Miss Jessie to get the money?"
32383And-- how came that heap of combustible stuff under the window?
32383Are you going out in this storm dressed like that?
32383But he muttered scornfully:"''Cindery?
32383By the way, where are the cows?"
32383Could it be that there was so much danger in working in the mine then?
32383Could that be true?
32383Did you get any money?"
32383Did you notice the brand?"
32383Do n''t you know the old saying about a shoemaker''s wife?
32383Do n''t you think so?"
32383Do you imagine that I would forget the one fundamental clause of our proving up?"
32383Do you understand?"
32383Finally:"It is a dictionary, ai n''t it?"
32383Folks all well?"
32383Goin''to be gone all day, is he?"
32383Goin''to let me lay here an''die?"
32383Has Jessie gone?"
32383He re- appeared directly, carrying a half dozen big mallards and a couple of jack- rabbits:"You''ll let me make you a present of these, wo n''t you?"
32383He recognized me at the same moment and exclaimed:"Why, Miss Leslie, is that you?"
32383Her face gleamed white in the dusk as she breathed, rather than spoke:"Wolves, Leslie?"
32383Here, where''s the little shaver''s hat?
32383Hey, what do you say, Miss Jessie?"
32383Horton?"
32383How came Jessie''s dictionary here?"
32383How did it happen?"
32383How long will it take to get it fixed?"
32383How many of you are there?"
32383How much are the witnesses''fees?"
32383How much have you got now?"
32383I am afraid that I was cross as well as tired:"Why,''of course,''Jessie?
32383I do n''t s''pose, now, that you girls are reely in earnest about trying to keep the place?
32383I had locked the door, and was approaching the wagon when Mr. Horton asked:"Where''s your dog-- you''ve got one, ai n''t ye?"
32383If we can get it marketed it will pay up all our bills, nearly, wo n''t it, Joe?"
32383In the silence the stranger''s plaint made itself distinctly audible:"Leff''''em on a table;''n''whar is they at now?
32383Is n''t she, Jessie?"
32383Is that right?"
32383It do n''t give a great amount of time to get money in, but it''s a relief to know when it''s coming off, is n''t it?"
32383It was n''t set before, was it?"
32383Know of any herd, now, that you could spot?"
32383Leslie, have you thought that if the agent refuses to issue a deed to us we shall have no home?
32383Like one gone suddenly mad, I sprang at the negro, and, seizing his arm, shook it furiously, crying:"Father, father-- where is my father?
32383Mr. Horton, sitting silent on the front seat, observed my proceedings with interest;"You''re awful careful, ai n''t ye?"
32383Nevertheless, he dropped easily into the seat as he continued:"Day after to- morrow''s the day, I s''pose?"
32383No, it would have been six hours falling, would n''t it?
32383Now let me see, have I got your morning thoughts in order?
32383Odd, ai n''t it?
32383Riley''s?"
32383Seems like a good way to come for milk, does n''t it?
32383She looked around the room and continued, with seeming irrelevance:"I s''pose the furnishings must have cost you a good deal?"
32383Should I tell a lie, or should I tell him that I was not even acting as teamster to oblige another?
32383Surely you can not think that it was the work of an incendiary?"
32383T''inks I''s a''possum, an''doan know w''en hit''s time ter come t''life?
32383That''s a comfort, ai n''t it?"
32383Then, suddenly:"How long will it take ye to milk''em?
32383Then--"''Ose dogs was hundry,"Ralph observed, philosophically, adding, as an afterthought:"Me hundry, too; is we mos''''ome,''Essie?"
32383There, did n''t you hear that?"
32383W''at fur yo''wan''ter borry money, w''en de''re''s a plenty in de fambly?
32383W''at yo''reckons I''s been doin''all dese yer weeks, off an''on?
32383We''ve had good luck to- day, have n''t we, Leslie?"
32383Whar yo''gwine want me ter drap dis bun''le?"
32383What did Mr. Wilson say?"
32383What fur he want ter bark at me?"
32383What have you done with my father?"
32383What was that?"
32383When has Mr. Horton ever done a thing like that?"
32383When his feet were fairly on the ground he turned to greet me:"Why, what''s been happening to you, little girl?
32383When it was concluded Mrs. Horton observed:"Wright, Stearns, and Wilson, they''re your witnesses, are they?"
32383When the coffee was in the pot on the stove, she turned to me again:"Now what have you thought of that is so wonderful?"
32383Where is the coat?"
32383Who was that man whom I had seen running up the hillside as if pursued by the furies?
32383Why did n''t I think of all this before?
32383Why had he left me to do such work as this?
32383Why not?"
32383Why should I not, indeed?
32383Why, I could''a''filed on this any time since your pa died, but I did n''t, and why not?"
32383Why?"
32383Wilson?"
32383Yo''''low dat goobers grow in dish yer kentry, Mas''r Ralph?"
32383You''re not going yet, are you?
32383he asked, sternly,"What are you going to do?"
25998About to take another night swim in the Ohio, Indians or no Indians?
25998Ah, they come from all the tribes, do they not?
25998Ai n''t it fine, Henry?
25998Ai n''t it likely that the people in the fort will help us?
25998All been quiet, Henry?
25998All the tribes are here, are they not?
25998An''do we attack?
25998An''you, Paul?
25998An''you, Tom?
25998And why could n''t we raise them guns?
25998And with plenty of Teghsto?
25998And you live by fishing, you say?
25998And you, Drouillard?
25998Are the others well?
25998Are you all here, boys?
25998Are you hit, Sol?
25998Are you out uv your head?
25998Are you ready?
25998At the expense of your own kind?
25998At this rate can we last all the way?
25998Braxton,he said, and his tone was mild and persuasive,"why are you so bitter against this boy Ware and his comrades?"
25998Broke?
25998But how to do it?
25998But how?
25998But what good is a map ef it do n''t take you anywhar?
25998Can we force it now? 25998 Can you make out what it is?"
25998Can you make''em out clearly, Sol?
25998Did you ever see a feller love cookin''ez he does? 25998 Did you overtake him?"
25998Did you shoot?
25998Do you call that the footprint of a man?
25998Do you know any of them?
25998Do you know who he is?
25998Do you really think so?
25998Do you reckon that Jim wuz hit hard?
25998Do you see anything on either side, Henry?
25998Do you see it?
25998Do you still give your promise?
25998Do you think that all the nations and all the chiefs of the great valley are assembling here merely for failure? 25998 Do you think we ought to try the signal for the others now, Sol?"
25998Do you think you can reach them with a bullet, Seth Cole?
25998Do you wish to remain on the_ Independence_,he said,"or would you prefer another place in the fleet?"
25998Ees eet possible that they are friends?
25998Got anything to eat left?
25998Have our warriors been kind to you?
25998Have you seen signs of deer or buffalo near?
25998Heard anything?
25998Henry, what''s all this about the getherin''at the mouth o''the Lickin''?
25998How can we fight those cannons?
25998How did you escape, Henry?
25998How do you know it?
25998How far away would you say that bonfire is?
25998How in the name of Neptune do you ever expect to get back again, my young friend?
25998How long has it been since the boy Henry Ware left us?
25998How many men have we on foot, and fit to fight?
25998How you like ball game?
25998How?
25998I''ve heard that these same Indians with whom you''re so thick burned your step- father at the stake?
25998If it has a chance? 25998 Illinois, Ottawas, Miamis, Shawnees, and Delawares?"
25998In what way?
25998Is death sweet to you, just when you are becoming a great warrior? 25998 Is it bad, Tom?"
25998Is it you, Ware; is it you, young sir?
25998Is the fishing good?
25998It is merely a withdrawal for another and better opportunity, is it not?
25998It is n''t so pleasant to be trussed up in that fashion, is it?
25998Let the promise go another day?
25998Me?
25998Nor heard anything?
25998Now which way do you figger that he would go?
25998Now, Chief, would you tell me what Yungenah means?
25998Now, Paul,said Henry,"what were you trying to do?"
25998Now, ai n''t that Paul all over?
25998Now, ai n''t that old Long Jim through an''through?
25998Now, ai n''t this snug?
25998Now, what in the name of Neptune do you make of it, young sir?
25998Now, what in thunder did Paul do it fur?
25998Now, what under the moon is that?
25998Now, what under the sun do you mean, Henry?
25998Now,said Long Jim,"how are you goin''to tell what Paul wuz thinkin''when he wuz comin''''long here?"
25998Of an attack by whom?
25998Ohezu-- do you mean the Ohio?
25998One of you? 25998 Put it out?"
25998Ready, Seth?
25998S''pose,said Shif''less Sol,"them woods should be full o''warriors, every one o''them waitin''to take a shot at us ez soon ez we came in range?
25998See anything that looks hostile in there, Henry?
25998Seth Cole?
25998Shall we ever get through?
25998Simon Girty,called Henry in the language of the Shawnees, which he spoke well,"do you know me?"
25998Since when, Girty,he asked,"have the Wyandots become old women?
25998Sink it?
25998So that is Captain Pipe, is it?
25998So they are to begin to- morrow, are they?
25998Sootae( Beaver)?
25998Stars?
25998Teghsto?
25998Them two shots that hit in the water close to us wuz fired at you, wuzn''t they?
25998Then the feather indicates the presence of hostile Indians?
25998They wo n''t burn unless the fire is nursed?
25998Was that where you caught the bullet?
25998Well, how''s your arm, Raccoon?
25998Well, what do you think of us?
25998Were you fishin''when you saw me?
25998What are they?
25998What are you doing?
25998What can he want?
25998What could canoes do against a fort on a hill?
25998What damage did they do to us last night?
25998What did you say, sir?
25998What do you expect there?
25998What do you say, gentlemen?
25998What do you think of it, Lyon?
25998What do you think of it, Sol?
25998What do you think of the landing?
25998What does Simon Girty want with us?
25998What does the great Timmendiquas, head chief of the Wyandots, think of the things that we have done?
25998What have you seen?
25998What is it, Henry?
25998What is it, Jim?
25998What is it, Sol?
25998What is it? 25998 What is it?"
25998What is it?
25998What is that? 25998 What is that?"
25998What is the matter, Henry?
25998What is your offer, Chief?
25998What kind of a noise?
25998What was it?
25998What were you saying to them?
25998What''s the matter, Sol?
25998What''s your notion, Henry?
25998What''s your opinion about the place where we''ll find Tom, if we find him at all?
25998Where are the others?
25998Where do they get them?
25998Where have you been camping?
25998Who are you?
25998Who is that by the side of Captain Pipe?
25998Who is the best marksman you have?
25998Who is this that taunts us?
25998Why are you disappointed?
25998Why do you look so often and with so much anxiety toward the Ohio?
25998Why do you talk to me about Timmendiquas?
25998Why not buffalo?
25998Why should n''t I be a great man among the Indians?
25998Will you call Seth Cole?
25998Would n''t that make your mouth water? 25998 Yandawezue?"
25998Yes, how?
25998You believe you heard a sound that was neither the thunder nor the wind?
25998You can not change?
25998You cook at night?
25998You found nothing, of course?
25998You have come with the great white force up Yandawezue?
25998You know just where them boats were when you sunk''em?
25998You like to be out in the forest with Whoraminta?
25998You mean, then,said Girty,"that we''re to have your scalps?"
25998You no like being captive, held in lodge, with arms tied?
25998You reached Fort Prescott, o''course?
25998You saw Timmendiquas?
25998You want volunteers, I suppose?
25998You''re sure that no one saw us?
25998Yuingeh( Duck)?
25998Yungenah( Dog)?
25998Yungenah?
25998''Is your name Hyde?''
25998''Solomon Hyde?''
25998''The one they call Shif''less Sol?''
25998After all, what did he have to offer but a stray feather, carried by the wind?
25998Ai n''t that so, Sol?
25998Are not these causes enough for hatred?"
25998Are you shore we come along this way, Henry?
25998Boone?"
25998Boone?"
25998Boone?"
25998But how?
25998But would any one live to come back?
25998Ca n''t you think of the English word for it?"
25998Cole?"
25998Could any spectacle be more tremendous than the one we behold to- night?"
25998Could he have been mistaken in his surmise, and could it have been Shif''less Sol and Tom Ross or perhaps Long Jim who had fired the timely bullets?
25998Could it really be they?
25998Could we have deceived ourselves into hearing what we wanted to hear?
25998Did any of us ever before have a chance to help at the taking of such a treasure?"
25998Did n''t that owl hoot sharp and short fur an owl?
25998Did others start?"
25998Did the Injuns make you a present o''that before you ran away?"
25998Do n''t you hear it, louder than before?"
25998Do n''t you see I''m white?"
25998Do you hear anything?"
25998Do you think the great chief, Timmendiquas, will draw off?"
25998Do you think you will be strong enough to start in the morning?"
25998Do you think, Mr. Ware, that having had a taste of our mettle, they have withdrawn?"
25998For what else but his life?
25998Had his four faithful comrades taken his advice and stayed with the fleet, or were they now in the forest seeking him?
25998Have we not already held back the white man''s fleet?"
25998Have you put any men in the top of the blockhouse?"
25998He decided upon a bold policy and called loudly:"Who is there?"
25998He is the one whom you hate the most, is he not?"
25998Henry''s sympathies were with her, but could the Dove evade all the warriors?
25998How are you, Henry?"
25998How can any one believe a traitor?
25998How can your Indian allies believe that the man who murders his own people would not murder them when the time came?"
25998How could a white man fight thus against his own people, even to using the torch and the stake upon them?
25998How could anything come out of that darkness and storm and through the Indian host?
25998How could that happen?"
25998How did it come about, Sol?"
25998How many men have you got?"
25998If the boy is what he is, what will the man be?"
25998In the name of Neptune, how did you do it?"
25998Is it not so, Tom, and you, Sol?"
25998Is n''t that so, boys, and is n''t it fine?"
25998Is such a thing possible?"
25998Is this the Henry Ware that we''ve knowed so long?"
25998Long Jim sprang to his feet in astonishment, and uttered the involuntary question:"Give up what?"
25998Major Braithwaite himself shuddered, but he replied in a strong voice:"And what is the alternative that you offer us?"
25998Not comin''back?
25998Now what in the name of Neptune can they want?"
25998Now what''ll he do?"
25998Now which way, Simon, do you think the camp of the Indians will be?"
25998Now, what did you hear among the Wyandots?"
25998Now, which way did he go?"
25998Or was it some phantasy that Manitou had sent to bewilder him?
25998Since when have they become both weak and ignorant?"
25998So what have I to complain of?"
25998Stop, do you smell that?"
25998The Major noticed his manner and asked:"Is it anything alarming?"
25998They could reply to rifles with rifles, but how were they to defend themselves from cannon which from a safe range could batter them to pieces?
25998They rested a while longer, and then Henry asked:"Sol, do you think that we can find Tom Ross?"
25998Those stakes are green wood, are they not?"
25998Truly, what had he to fear?
25998Warriors of the allied tribes, is it not so?"
25998Warriors, will you go home like women or stay with your chiefs and fight?"
25998Was it alive?
25998Was it imagination about the cannon?
25998Was it really a human head with human eyes looking into his own?
25998Was so much blood to be shed, so much suffering to be endured for nothing?
25998What did you mean?
25998What did you say his Injun name wuz?"
25998What do you mean by those words?"
25998What do you say about yours, Major?"
25998What do you say, Seth?"
25998What do you say, Simon?"
25998What do you say, Sol?"
25998What do you think is likely to happen here?
25998What do you think of it, Seth?"
25998What do you think?"
25998What does it matter ef you do n''t git anywhar?
25998What have we to fear?"
25998What if we should capture it?
25998What right hev you, Jim Hart, to tickle my nose with sech smells, an''then refuse to give to me the cause o''it?
25998What was that?
25998What will the wooden walls in Kentucky be to us when we get those big guns?"
25998Where were they now?
25998Who had fired the bullets?
25998Who in the west, white or red, that had not heard of Simon Girty?
25998Why?"
25998Will you lead it?"
25998Will you tell me your name?"
25998Would bad fortune turn to good?
25998Would n''t that be hurryin''to meet trouble a leetle too fast?"
25998You do not mean to tell me that the others have all been killed?"
25998You understand?"
31130Alone?
31130Are n''t you bad hurt, Lewis?
31130Are you not sleepy, brother?
31130Bad hurt?
31130Ca n''t you get him?
31130Can we get to Annawan by night?
31130Can you keep going?
31130Captain Boone, he tell you to come steal our hosses?
31130Cómo''stà ¡( How are you)? 31130 D''ye hear, Jack?

31130Did you make it, Sam?
31130Do you know Captain Stuart?
31130Do you know my name, sir? 31130 Do you want to rest the horses, lieutenant?"
31130Eh, Bat?
31130Have the men had their coffee?
31130Hoss tief, hey? 31130 How do?
31130How far now, Cap?
31130How far''ve we come, you think?
31130How far, you think?
31130How many are there with him?
31130How many miles is it to the spot where you left him?
31130How many out there, Andy?
31130How many soldiers are there in Kentucky?
31130How many, Cap?
31130How many?
31130How?
31130Hurt much?
31130Hurt you much, Hallowell?
31130Hurt, Hallowell?
31130Hurt, Logan?
31130Indians, are n''t they?

31130Old woman, hand me my razor, will you?
31130Out with you? 31130 Really got him, have you?
31130See? 31130 Shall I pull it out?"
31130Shall we leave''em and ferry ourselves over on the raft?
31130Sure?
31130To- night, huh?
31130Vat kind a disease iss der matter mit de hosses, hey?
31130Want to?
31130What company have you come from last?
31130What do you want?
31130What have you for supper?
31130What in thunder are those vagabonds down yonder fooling about?
31130What is it, Hallowell, old fellow?
31130What is your mind, in the matter?
31130What is your name?
31130What makes you shrug your shoulders so, captain?
31130What news now?
31130What news?
31130What next?
31130What they doing now, Cap?
31130What they doing now, Cap?
31130What they doing?
31130What they up to, next, I wonder?
31130What will they do with me there?
31130What''ll we do, then?
31130What''s that?
31130What''s the best thing to do, then?
31130What''s the matter, Cap?
31130What''s wrong?
31130What''s your fee, Doc?
31130What? 31130 Where from?"
31130Where now?
31130Where were you going when I seized you?
31130Where''s Rebecca? 31130 Whereabouts?"
31130Who are you? 31130 Who are you?"
31130Who says I lie?
31130Who will go with me to rescue Burr Harrison?
31130Who will go with me to rescue Burr Harrison?
31130Who''s loaded?
31130Why did you risk your one shot?
31130Why did you shoot your brother?
31130Why so? 31130 Will you have cow beef or horse beef?"
31130Will you let Captain Logan go alone?
31130You are n''t? 31130 You make good cabin?
31130You see that little knoll yonder?
31130A fight?
31130A race it was to be, with his scalp the prize?
31130A trick?
31130After a time the lieutenant changed his tune, to remark:"What''s the matter with the buffalo?
31130Again reprieved?
31130And how many men are there in Fort McIntosh?"
31130And still--"What ails the rascals?"
31130And what then?
31130Are you men, to let a comrade be butchered?"
31130Big rascal, hey?
31130Boone?
31130But could he make it, when all the surrounding country was being watched by the Shawnee scouts?
31130But how could they help him?
31130But the next morning, where were the Shawnees?
31130But what to do?
31130But what was that?
31130But when they four had reached a view- point, and had their glasses out, the lieutenant calmly asked:"What did you see, Frank?"
31130But why did n''t you go with ma?"
31130But why?
31130Ca n''t you tell buff''ler from reds?
31130Could the Indians hold off and see the water enter the fort-- see their prey enter, unharmed?
31130Could the blamed thing possibly stand fire?
31130Did I marry a coward?"
31130Did he do it?
31130Did he not mingle with them, and eat as they ate, and sleep as they slept, and appear perfectly satisfied?
31130Did n''t we come it over''em proper?"
31130Did the fellow intend to talk all night?
31130Did you see how little Jack uses his left hand?"
31130Do you take me for a child?
31130Evidently his ambush was a success, so far, else why had these women come into his very arms, for water?
31130Had Captain Boggs really been captured?
31130Had he come so far, merely to be taken at last?
31130Had she been hit?
31130Had the Indians given up?
31130Had the enemy gone in earnest-- or might it be a feint, an ambush?
31130Had their cannon come?
31130Had they been saved?
31130Had they seen?
31130Have I spoken well?"
31130He had faint memory of two companions-- knew their names, or thought that he did; but where were they?
31130He was safe-- but was he?
31130He will be, by mornin''; but what difference to him whether he''s layin''atop the ground or under the ground?
31130Hey?
31130Hey?
31130Hey?"
31130How about water?
31130How are my wife and children?"
31130How could it know?
31130How do?"
31130How had they come, and from where?
31130How many lurked in the thicket?
31130How many might be spared from the feeble garrison?
31130How were his family?
31130How you like tief?
31130How''d you get away?
31130How''ll we get over?
31130How- do, brudder?"
31130If I had thought such a thing that he says, would I have been foolish enough to say it to him?
31130If I surrender, you treat me well?
31130Know how?"
31130Listen?
31130Miamis?"
31130Must he die at the stake?
31130N- no?
31130No hurt?"
31130Now what to do?
31130Now, what is the American force in Kentucky?
31130One rascal white man, hey?"
31130Or a trap?
31130Or did n''t they care?
31130Pretty soon--"How far now, Cap?"
31130Say, you are n''t going to leave me?"
31130See that Shawnee scalp?
31130See that fellow glidin''like a snake?
31130See the brush shake?
31130Shall we make a running fight, Chapman?"
31130She appealed to her husband:"Are you a coward, too?
31130Should he be killed?
31130Steal Injun''s hoss, hey?
31130Surrender to you, you yaller varmints?"
31130The Sioux were out of sight; there were no sounds of pursuit; was it possible that they had been let off?
31130The cannon?
31130The only point to be discussed was, how should he die?
31130Then why did n''t they hasten on, if they were in a hurry to join Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, and share in the plunder to be gained from the fights?
31130Then why should I have told my thoughts to him, as he says?
31130They entered Mexico; all were liable to arrest, but who cared?
31130They had avoided two outposts; were there others, still?
31130They had gone; or had n''t they?
31130They knew it well; had they not worked hard here, when bound for the Columbia in the summer of 1805?
31130Troops were coming?
31130Was he down?
31130Was he fatally hurt?
31130Was he going to escape?
31130Was he going to talk again-- and daylight so near?
31130Was he searching?
31130Was he to be eaten alive, like a deer?
31130Was it to be another day of stress?
31130Was n''t that reasonable?
31130Was she down?
31130Were they actually saved?
31130Whar be ye?"
31130Whar''s the rascals that stole all my plunder?"
31130What could they few do?
31130What did it have around it?
31130What did they fear?
31130What do you think?"
31130What had happened?
31130What is it?"
31130What kind of a man is he-- how did he look?"
31130What next?
31130What of the cowardly Tutelu?
31130What was that?
31130What was that?
31130What was the matter?
31130What, indeed?
31130What, then?
31130What?
31130What?
31130What?
31130When?"
31130Where from?"
31130Where live, fat boy?"
31130Where live?"
31130Where was Kit Carson?
31130Where were the reinforcements?
31130Whether they had been seen, who might tell?
31130White boys?
31130Who are they?
31130Who do you aim to be?"
31130Who goes there?"
31130Who might say?
31130Who might tell?
31130Who more willing to act the spy than the happy- go- lucky young giant, fair- haired Simon Kenton alias Butler?
31130Who now wanted him to live?
31130Who''ll go and fetch it on the run?"
31130Who''ll go with me?"
31130Who''ll slip away and break for Lexington?"
31130Who''ll take the back trail?
31130Who''s afraid of the old men?
31130Why had he not been killed before?
31130Why send us out?
31130Why?"
31130Women?
31130Would he make it?
31130Would the Madison save him?
31130Would the store hold out?
31130Would they make it?
31130Would they never quit?
31130Would you cheat us out of him, when the people ahead are expecting great pleasure?"
31130You''d send the women out, to those tomahawks?"
31130You?
31130he said,"Which are you most afraid of: me, or those Indians?"
33210''Can they hold out?'' 33210 ''Can you make out anything down there in the darkness, Tom?''
33210''Did you get him?'' 33210 ''Did you see any signs of them?''
33210''Did you see the Apache?'' 33210 ''How many Apaches were they, captain?''
33210''Where are the boys?'' 33210 ''Where is he now?''
33210''Where?'' 33210 ''Where?''
33210All ready now, Jo?
33210All ready now?
33210All ready, Jo?
33210And the food?
33210And the white coloring?
33210Anything happened while I was asleep?
33210Are n''t you afraid that it will poison you?
33210Are we going to camp in one of those houses?
33210Are we going to have a cyclone?
33210Are you ready?
33210Are you ready?
33210Are you rested enough to try?
33210But what do you think of that last sprint we made between the rocks? 33210 Can we make it?"
33210Defy the dragon, will you?
33210Did she hold all right last night, Jim?
33210Did you ever see a spider like that?
33210Did you ever see anything like that?
33210Do n''t you see behind those bushes? 33210 Do n''t you suppose that we could get through their lines to- night, it is so dark and stormy?"
33210Do n''t you think they have skipped out before this?
33210Do you know what it means, boys, to tackle a stream like this that has n''t been navigated except by two parties since the world began?
33210Do you remember what fun we used to have running to the fires at home with the hose carts?
33210Do you suppose that we will find any gold or precious stones in the country that we run into below the Grand?
33210Do you suppose those fellows will try and come up here?
33210Do you think it is the Apaches?
33210Do you think it safe to leave the boat; we may be gone a day or two?
33210Do you think that we ought to bury her?
33210Do you think that you can steer the craft down this trail, Juarez?
33210Do you think they are hostile?
33210Does this remind you of anything?
33210Fine,he replied,"why not?
33210Had we not better fight them here?
33210Hello, commodore, how are you this morning?
33210Hello, what is this?
33210Hey, Jim, where did you corner that?
33210How about water?
33210How are we ever going to get out of this lateral?
33210How are you ever going to launch this craft?
33210How are you now, Jo?
33210How are your lips, Jo?
33210How can I tell?
33210How can you tell?
33210How did these Indians get hold of so much, Juarez?
33210How did you happen to strike us here?
33210How did you sleep?
33210How do you feel, Jim?
33210How do you know?
33210How do you suppose it was done?
33210How do you suppose the Indians get up there?
33210How do you think she will act in the current, being so much broader in the beam than at the bow?
33210How far do you think they are?
33210How far have we come to- day, Jim?
33210How high are those walls, do you suppose, Jim?
33210How is Juanita?
33210How long did this job take?
33210How long do you suppose before we will be ready to start down the river?
33210How long will it take you, captain?
33210How long will our supply of water last?
33210How many miles do you suppose we will make a day?
33210How many trails do you suppose there are to the Colorado River within nine hundred miles?
33210How many?
33210How much ground do you suppose this fire has swept, Jim?
33210How much is it all worth?
33210How shall we divide the time?
33210How''s that?
33210I suppose you will want to rig up a sail, too?
33210I will start you,suggested the captain,"where is the finish?"
33210I wonder if we will have any trouble navigating where the two of them come together?
33210I''d like to know where you will find it?
33210If the wind came from the other side, would n''t the mesa protect us? 33210 If they go east of the mesa they will do it anyway,"I said,"then what will we do?"
33210Indians?
33210Is it dry?
33210Is it really marble?
33210Is my time up?
33210Is n''t it grand?
33210Is that roaring sound the fire?
33210Is that the Grand Canyon itself?
33210It certainly is a river,exclaimed Tom,"but why do they call it Green when it is brown?"
33210It looks perfectly level, how in the mischief are we going to get within range?
33210It''s our chance to escape, do n''t you see?
33210It''s up to you, Jim,I said,"which way now?
33210Jo, did you hear that?
33210My mind was so engrossed with my plans for the morrow that I did not realize that I was so close to the camp until I heard,''Halt, who''s that?'' 33210 Now you give me that stick?"
33210Of course,I said,"but how about the rifles?"
33210Quite a lake, is n''t it?
33210Say boys, what is that ahead of us on that mesa?
33210Straight up and down?
33210That is n''t the Colorado yet, Jim?
33210That''s a diagram,commented Jim,"but I can not make much out of it, can you, Juarez?"
33210The one above the fire line?
33210There,I said,"do n''t you see?"
33210Was there any way in which I could get food and water to them? 33210 We are above the camp now,"said Jim,"let''s see if we can wake them up?"
33210Well run, boys,said the captain,"who won?"
33210Well, boys, what do you think of''The Captain?''
33210Were you going to sleep all day?
33210Were you seasick last night?
33210What are the names of these Indian tribes in the southwest?
33210What are those specks way off there on the plain?
33210What are we going to do if it comes our way?
33210What are we to do?
33210What are you doing wandering around, this time of night, Jo?
33210What are you going to do to- day?
33210What are you going to do with that big stick, Jim?
33210What do you beach combers want?
33210What do you expect to do?
33210What do you suppose Jim is after?
33210What do you suppose started it?
33210What do you think of our boat, Juarez?
33210What do you think of that for a scrape?
33210What does this remind you of, boys?
33210What dost thou see?
33210What for?
33210What for?
33210What for?
33210What for?
33210What is it then?
33210What is it, brother?
33210What is it? 33210 What is it?"
33210What is she doing up here all alone?
33210What is that curious formation under the cliff?
33210What is this long string of something, Jim?
33210What luck?
33210What luck?
33210What next?
33210What shall we call her?
33210What shall we do?
33210What shall we take with us?
33210What shape do you suppose the raft will be?
33210What time is it?
33210What was that?
33210What''s the matter with Jim?
33210What''s the matter?
33210What''s the use of being sorry?
33210What''s the use of talking that way?
33210What''s your idea?
33210What, the treasure?
33210Whatever made it?
33210Where are the Apaches?
33210Where did it come from?
33210Where did you capture him?
33210Where did you come from?
33210Where did you put salt on his tail?
33210Where have those three gone?
33210Where is he?
33210Where''s Jo?
33210Where''s the captain?
33210Where?
33210Which way now, Jim?
33210Which way?
33210Who is the best artist?
33210Why did n''t you shoot him?
33210Why did n''t you wake me up?
33210Why did you let that boat get away?
33210Why do n''t you swim over to that rock, Jim?
33210Why not?
33210Why, do n''t you know that these wolves are about as dangerous customers as you can find in the mountains?
33210Why, do n''t you value your dear brother?
33210Would it not be a good idea to split our party?
33210Would n''t it be funny if this wind should flatten us into the rock? 33210 Would n''t it jar you?"
33210You are not going to build a boat, are you?
33210You idiot,exclaimed Jim,"what would we do in this country without horses?
33210You make her?
33210You see the outline of that mountain over there?
33210You teach me how to steer, Jim?
33210You''ve got a logical mind, have n''t you?
33210Ai n''t they beauts?"
33210But what are you going to do to rescue them, captain?''
33210But what should I do, and where should I look?
33210CHAPTER VI WITHIN THE FORT"Anything doing?"
33210CHAPTER X THE SEARCH"Shall we camp here?"
33210CHAPTER XIV A NIGHT ON THE MESA"Do you suppose they saw us?"
33210CHAPTER XXVIII THE FACE IN THE ROCK"Will we find the treasure up there?"
33210Can you row, Juarez?"
33210Do n''t it seem quiet though?"
33210Do n''t you consider that valuable?"
33210Fine view, is n''t it?"
33210How did you get him?"
33210How do we know but there may be a waterfall just around the corner there?"
33210How far do you expect to go to- day?"
33210How is that for high?"
33210How much is a man worth, eh?
33210How was Jim to get off that rock?
33210How were your father and mother?"
33210I asked,"ladders?"
33210I asked,"where we have cover?"
33210I asked,"where''s Captain?"
33210I exclaimed in alarm,"do n''t you think that the captain and Tom will locate us soon and get us out of this?"
33210I exclaimed, skeptically,"what would anybody do with houses up on a place like that and who would live in them?"
33210I whispered,"what''s that over by that rock?"
33210Let me keep it?"
33210See?"
33210Then he turned towards me, throwing one hand up, exclaiming:"How, how, Jo Darlington?"
33210Then where would we be?
33210What are you waiting for?
33210What did you do with him?"
33210What is it?"
33210What makes you think it is going to rain?"
33210What was the use?
33210What was the use?
33210Where do you suppose he got it?"
33210Where is she?"
33210Where''s my rifle?"
33210Who would reach it first?
33210Why did n''t we think of it before?"
33210Why had I not thought of that before?
33210Why, do n''t you know that those buck Indians will cover seventy- five miles in a day and over mountains too?
33210Would n''t it puzzle these scientific fellars if they should find a living representation of Tommy in the wall of the mesa?
33210You know they are the original Americans?"
33210asked Jim,"to get back to the plateau?"
33210said Jim,"you are not afraid of the old lady stealing you, are you?"
33210wo n''t they burn?"
61657So you have come, John? 61657 Well, what luck?"
61657Who is this fellow, anyway?
61657Why did you do that?
61657Why,said I,"do you not believe in God?"
61657You are welcome,said mine host, and I answered,"What strange thing have you been about?"
61657And if these were some of the present and tangible results of our journey, who will estimate the fruitage of eternity?
61657And those wonderful mirages, who can describe them?
61657And who doubts our doing it?
61657Are you not foolish to think and act as you do?
61657But is it not written that"man doth not live by bread only"?
61657Could he do it?
61657Had he not come from the famous Red River?
61657Has the Great Spirit treated you with partiality?
61657How is this?
61657How were we to kill the fish?
61657I said to my wife,"What do you see?"
61657In vain Oliver kicked and shouted; what cared that Blackfoot pony for the charge of a buffalo?
61657McDougall?"
61657Now, for the seven bulls what was the whole number?"
61657The change will come, no doubt, but when?
61657Then he asked,"What did you see that made you ride across this way?"
61657Then said I,"Do you see that?
61657Then why not all men be thus helped and made better?
61657Was he a Hudson''s Bay Company clerk, a free trader, or a traveller bent on sport?
61657What signified that we had brought little or no provisions?
61657When we converged, I said to the leader,"Where are you going?"
61657Who will say after this that these people have no sentiment?
61657Why, then, this degradation witnessed on every hand?
61657and I answered,"What did you see that made you start out from camp at this hour?"

29485''Folks,''he says,''I asks, in all hoomility, is thar anythin''I can say or do in this yere camp without throwing away my life?'' 29485 ''Gents,''he says,''am I to stand mootely by an''see this tavern, the best j''int ondoubted in Arizona, insulted?''
29485''Go on,''he says to Dead Shot;''you- all wants us to do-- what?'' 29485 ''Him?''
29485''How about lettin''her in on the play,''says Boggs,''an''typ''fyin''Jestice, that a- way?'' 29485 ''How are you, sports?''
29485''How often has I told you, Dan,''asks Texas, after they gets headed for Boot Hill, an''Texas has regained his aplomb,''that women is a brace game?'' 29485 ''How old be you?''
29485''How soon, Missis Freelinghuysen,''says Peets,''do you- all reckon on lettin''this Oscar husband out?'' 29485 ''How would it do,''asks Texas,''if we takes them marts seeriatim, an''one after another yootilizes all their signs?''
29485''Is thar any objections,''asks Enright,''to our visitin''this modern pris''ner of Chillon? 29485 ''Is thar anything we- all can he''p you to, Miss?''
29485''Is thar time,''asks Nell of Enright,''for me to round up Missis Rucker an''Tucson Jennie? 29485 ''Is that remark to be took sarkastic?''
29485''Is your Peggy sweetheart pretty?'' 29485 ''It''s licker, ai n''t it?''
29485''It''s that locoed Digger Injun, ai n''t it?'' 29485 ''Jack,''he says, appealin''to Moore, who happens to be present,''does that thing look like me?''
29485''Jedge Beebe?'' 29485 ''Learns, Nellie?''
29485''Me marry him?'' 29485 ''Me?
29485''Me? 29485 ''No one mentions Jackson,''says Mike, who''s becomin''frightened an''fretted;''whatever''s the idee of any one talkin''about Jackson, anyhow?''
29485''Now I do n''t see why none?'' 29485 ''Now, you onwashed drunkard, will you surrender?''
29485''Oh, he wo n''t, wo n''t he?'' 29485 ''Pol''tics?''
29485''Pole or Dutchman, what''s the odds? 29485 ''Sam,''says Boggs, his voice reproachful,''you notes how she makes invidious compar''sons between me an''that b''ar, an''how she beefs the b''ar?
29485''Sammy,''he says to Enright,''you was old enough to rec''llect when I has that location over on the upper Hawgthief? 29485 ''So water''s all you samples?''
29485''So you''d sooner die?'' 29485 ''Thar''s French an''his wife?''
29485''Thar,''he says, danglin''them gewgaws in the sun,''you do n''t notice no actresses flittin''about the scene arrayed like that, do you? 29485 ''That Miss Bark mentions she''s Woman Suffrage, Sam?''
29485''That match- makin''catamount? 29485 ''That''s one way of bein''locoed, ai n''t it?''
29485''Till Dave wakes up?'' 29485 ''Was you afraid of this yere Jenks?''
29485''Whar do you- all get your licence, Doc,''he demands, when Peets tells him how it''s spelled,''to jam in that misfitc"?
29485''Whar to?'' 29485 ''Whar''s this sufferer at?''
29485''Wharever is this Oscar party?'' 29485 ''What am I eager to say?
29485''What be your dem''crats like, Dave?'' 29485 ''What do you reckon''s wrong with that party?''
29485''What stuffed anamile sharp,''says Tutt, craftily directin''himself at Black Jack,''mounts that bobcat up thar?'' 29485 ''What''s that?
29485''What''s that?'' 29485 ''What''s the finish of this interestin''crim''nal?''
29485''What''s the limit?'' 29485 ''What''s the malady?''
29485''What''s the subject?'' 29485 ''What''s these yere slanders,''shouts Rucker,''you- all is levelin''at my wife''s hotel?
29485''What, that Dutch galoot with the long ha''r?'' 29485 ''Whatever be you- all tryin''to do to me, Sam?''

29485''Whatever does it show?'' 29485 ''Whatever does that jim- crow sp''ile- sport of a marshal mean?''
29485''Whatever is his subject?'' 29485 ''Whatever kind o''capital?''
29485''Whatever''s an ideal, Doc?'' 29485 ''Whatever''s the matter with you?''
29485''Whatever''s the meanin''of this midprandial excitement?'' 29485 ''Whatever''s the meanin''of this?''
29485''Which I trusts,''he says,''that no one''ll mind much if I takes water?'' 29485 ''Who orig''nates spellin''schools, anyway?''
29485''Who you talkin''about?'' 29485 ''Who you talkin''to?''
29485''Who?'' 29485 ''Whoever do you reckon that is, Bug?''
29485''Whoever he is?'' 29485 ''Whoever''s bringin''up this yere baby, you or me?''
29485''Why not introdooce him,''breaks in Rucker, who''s nosin''about,''to that aflickted shorthorn who comes groanin''in on the stage last night? 29485 ''Wrong?''
29485''You ai n''t been long hooked up?'' 29485 ''You ai n''t goin''to t''ar into him for that, be you?''
29485''You dad- binged Siwash,''I yells down at Steve,''whyever do n''t you- all stay in that hole, ontil the bull forgets whar you''re at?'' 29485 ''You think so?''
29485''You thinks not?'' 29485 ''You?''
29485About that weddin''he goes east to consummate? 29485 About this Bernilillo business?"
29485After a spell, nothin''bein''spoke on either side, Washington Boggs calls out:''Is this yere Gen''ral Cornwallis?''
29485After a while he looks up an''says:''Which you do n''t notice no swirlin''drifts of snow outside, do you?
29485Ai n''t I in this?'' 29485 Ai n''t you met up frequent with that form of horned toad?
29485An''why not? 29485 But about your Wolfville- Red Dog Fourth of July celebration?"
29485Do I myse''f ever lie? 29485 Does Mike''s kickin''the bucket leave the little Joolie broke?
29485Does Miss Bark go proselytin''''round concernin''them Rights of Women? 29485 Does Monte snore?
29485Does he resent it? 29485 Enright?
29485Her beauty? 29485 Is the Mexican hurt?
29485Is the Turner person p''isened? 29485 Miserable wretch,"says he,"do you- all want to get yourse''f tarred an''feathered?"
29485Monte? 29485 Nacherally, what could any se''f- respectin''bull do but wheel an''chase Steve back?

29485This yere exile comes wanderin''into the talk by askin''--his voice as thin as a curlew''s:''Who is this old Monte you''re alloodin''at?''
29485Was Peets any good as a med''cine man? 29485 What cares the Bernilillo pop''lace, wolf hungry for blood?

29485Whatever be you leerin''at?

29485Which, that?
29485Whoever is that rhoomatic? 29485 Wolfville''s whiskey?
29485''Ai n''t a workin''man got no rights?
29485''Ai n''t he drinkin''that time he weds Tucson Jennie?''
29485''Ai n''t we goin''a little fast?
29485''As long as he gives you cause, an''you can shoot like you says, why ever do n''t you down him?''
29485''Now, is thar anything else?''
29485''What care I, who am destined for immortality, that barbarians should hail me as Red Mike?
29485''Whatever be you- all talkin''about?

29485Be they, as guests, to go dictatin''terms to us?''
29485But how about the camp?
29485But what else would you expect?
29485But you- all knows how it is, Sam?''
29485Ca n''t you see their names yere up in the corner?''
29485Could I lie, you asks?
29485Could even the revenge of a fiend ask more than simply seein''him a married man?''
29485Do I overstate the trooth, Dave?''
29485Do n''t you agree with me, Doc?''
29485Do you or do you not surrender your mis''rable blade?''
29485Do you reckon Monte hooks up with him?
29485Do you- all murderers still insist on hangin''this yere boy, or be you willin''to see''em we d an''live happy ever after?''
29485Do you- all want her to blow her head plumb off?''

29485Does anybody get killed about it?''
29485Does he reckon this yere camp''s a church?''
29485Does he remain in Wolfville long?"
29485Does one of your onparalleled tarrapins say something deerog''tory about George Washin''ton?''
29485Ever since little Enright Peets is born Tutt has conducted himse''f in a downhill manner towards all of us, an''been allowed to do so; as why not?
29485Final, he roars:"''Who cuts loose that personal''ty?''
29485For a starter, then, takin''your say- so for it, you''re a Southern man?''
29485How old is Annalinda?''
29485How''s she goin''to cock that gun, an''the mainspring fifteen pounds resistance?''
29485However do you- all manage?

29485I takes it you- all do n''t want the shack all smoked up with Dan''s six- shooter?
29485I wonder if Peets, or some of them other Wolfville sports, puts him up to come bully- raggin''round yere about ice to insult us?''

29485If a gent''s to be compelled to spell scenery with a fool"c,"I asks you why was Yorktown an''wharfore Bunker Hill?''
29485Is it for the manhood an''civic virchoo of Bernilillo to leave a widow of its own construction broke an''without a dollar?
29485Is this yere a snare you''re settin''for this innocent child?
29485Little Joolie?
29485Lovely?
29485Monte asks, after listenin''mighty dignified to the spook''s excuses;''you begs my pardon?
29485Now what is it you''re so plumb eager to say?''
29485Now whoever do you reckon would look for sech a oncooth outfit to go onbeltin''in any reefined racket?

29485Whatever''s wrong?''
29485Whatever, Doc, do you- all say?''
29485Which one of you cheap prairie dogs makes that low- flung statement about old Andy Jackson?
29485Whoever''d be that hardened as to go harrowin''up the sens''tive soul of a artist, even if his work do n''t grade as corn- fed?
29485You ai n''t been swallowed up in no blizzard, be you, comin''into town?
29485You do n''t figger thar''s a chance that Red Dog gets the notion, Sam, an''takes to holdin''them tournaments of learnin''itse''f?''

29485chirps Nell, her elbow on the lay- out, an''her little round chin in her fist;''thar''s the Frenches, over to the corrals?
29485he asks at last,''or shall we call it nothin''more''n a brainless effort to be funny?''
29485he exclaims;"however does that jack- rabbit get himse''f mixed in with them sheep?"
29485repeats Texas;''whoever but that postmaster?
29485says the Bug;''him we corrals, that time, livin''on ants an''crickets, an''roots an''yarbs, over in Potato canyon?''
29485she says;''ca n''t you see he''s only coaxin''you to bump him off?''
29485suggested the old cattleman, tentatively;"him I speaks of former?"
29129''Hog- and- hominy,''how would that suit?
29129And did they really trust you three boys for your passage- money? 29129 And did you shoot him all by your very own self?
29129And do they always pay?
29129And side- meat?
29129And what Indians are there who use this trail now?
29129And what''s them thar cattle follering on behind?
29129And you are going back to Illinois? 29129 Are you a free- State man?"
29129Baggage, sah?
29129Baggage?
29129Blanket Indians?
29129Border Ruffians?
29129Busted? 29129 But suppose the money should n''t turn up?"
29129But the Smoky Hill is twenty- five or thirty miles from here,said Mr. Bryant;"why should they strike across the plains between here and there?"
29129But what have the troops from Fort Riley to do with it? 29129 But you do n''t often trust anybody with cards coming down the river, do you?"
29129Car''yer baggage aboard, boss?
29129Car''yer baggage aboard, boss?
29129Cash down?
29129Changing legs?
29129Clay- eaters?
29129Could n''t we catch some of those leeches and sell them to the doctors?
29129D''ye s''pose they break those up every day?
29129Did ever anybody see such luck?
29129Did n''t I hear you playing a violin in your room last night? 29129 Did n''t you ever see an Injun trail before?"
29129Did war parties ever go out on this trail, do you suppose?
29129Distressed gentlemen, do n''t you see?
29129Do n''t you suppose your father could give it to him, Charlie? 29129 Do you call that dropping corn?
29129Do you suppose, father, that they have from Washington any such instructions to discriminate against us?
29129Do you think you could fight, if the worst comes to the worst, Sandy, boy?
29129Eh? 29129 Have you seen a ghost?"
29129How can you laugh at such a shameful sight, Aleck Howell? 29129 How do you suppose Uncle Oscar knew I was an Abolitionist?"
29129How far down did you go?
29129How many acres are there in a quarter- section of land?
29129How many grains of corn to a hole, Uncle Aleck? 29129 How many men are there at the post?"
29129I asked Younkins if he ever had any trouble with a buffalo when he was hunting, and what do you suppose he said?
29129I wonder if the other fellows can see them as I do?
29129If that''s the case,said the easy- going Younkins,"what''s the use of going home?
29129If you like Mr. John G. Whittier''s poetry, why did you say he was n''t any good?
29129Is it really music?
29129Is n''t Charlie too awfully knowing for anything, Oscar?
29129Just think of an Indian girl-- a squaw-- wearing hoops, will you?
29129Lapwing?
29129Leg- weary work, is n''t it, Sandy?
29129Love''s Last Greeting,and"How Can I Leave Thee?"
29129Lugged it aboard ourselves? 29129 Manhattan?"
29129No neighbor nearer than Hunter''s Creek, did you say? 29129 No settlers anywhere?"
29129Not so solemn, my laddie? 29129 Oh, you will all go, will you?"
29129Only do n''t you think that''s a very long name to say in a hurry? 29129 People have to pay fees, do n''t they, Uncle Charlie?"
29129Quindaro?
29129Ride up? 29129 Saw off?"
29129See here, Sandy,said his uncle,"how would you like to go to Kansas with your father, Oscar, Charlie, and myself?"
29129Side- meat?
29129Skip out of the place?
29129So that is a dibble, is it?
29129Stay?
29129Stolen the money?
29129That would n''t be a free country, would it, with one man owning another man? 29129 Then what made you talk like that, just now?"
29129Things do not look very encouraging for a winter in Kansas, bleeding or not bleeding; do they, Charlie?
29129Timber? 29129 Timber?"
29129To Kansas? 29129 We do n''t cross the prairies as of old our fathers crossed the sea, any more, do we, Charlie?"
29129We''ll chance it, wo n''t we, Aleck?
29129Well, what is a quarter- section, as you are so knowing?
29129What are these clumsy rings for?
29129What are you going to do now? 29129 What did he do?"
29129What if they have gone down to our cabin?
29129What in the world are you two boys up to now?
29129What in the world took you so far off your track as Fuller''s? 29129 What is all this about stakes and quarter- sections, anyway, father?"
29129What is it?
29129What is there west of this?
29129What makes you in such a hurry? 29129 What then?"
29129What will mother say to this-- if she ever gets here?
29129What would you have, Sandy?
29129What''s a dibble?
29129What''s a lapwing?
29129What''s that by the cabin- door?
29129What''s that on your leg?
29129What''s the great joke?
29129What''s to be done now?
29129What''s up?
29129What, for goodness''sake, is that?
29129What?
29129What?--free, gratis, and for nothing?
29129Where is that place? 29129 Where''s that?"
29129Which way are you bound?
29129Who is it? 29129 Who is this that rides so fast?"
29129Who will go down to the post and get them?
29129Who''s afraid?
29129Who''s shot another buffalo?
29129Why ca n''t we have some hens this fall, daddy?
29129Why do n''t yer go aboard, boys? 29129 Why not call it the John G. Whittier cabin?"
29129Why should they buy when they can get land for nothing by entering and taking possession, just as we are going to do?
29129Why, did you notice, father,he continued,"that he actually had on high- heeled boots?
29129Why, how could we exchange legs?
29129Why, is there any notion of going back? 29129 Why, what on earth do you mean?"
29129Will they come to- night, do you think?
29129Yes, how many acres in a quarter of a section?
29129You are a musician, are you not?
29129Afraid of work?
29129Afraid of work?
29129And Uncle Aleck?
29129And all these people that we are going to be passengers with for the next four or five days watching us while we did a roustabout''s work?
29129And away from home?
29129And take us?
29129And, seeing that this is our first day out of camp on the last stage of our journey, suppose we stop for dinner at Indian John''s, Aleck?
29129Back from''bleeding Kansas''?
29129Besides, I do n''t believe he has any right to vote here; do you?"
29129But it ca n''t be possible that they actually eat clay?"
29129But what does Amanda say?"
29129But what was this so hot in the mouth?
29129But, then,"he added, doubtfully,"it is n''t everybody that would know which Whittier was meant by that, would they?"
29129Ca n''t you give us something lively?
29129Ca n''t you nail these down, daddy?"
29129Charlie''s gun?"
29129Could it be possible that anybody could raise melons so thickly together as Mr. Younkins had said he had seen them?
29129Could they divide and settle this far apart for the sake of getting a timber lot?
29129Dear me, why ca n''t the Missourians keep out of here and let us alone?"
29129Did anybody ever see the like?"
29129Did you come direct from Parkville?"
29129Did you never hear of splitting rails?
29129Did you notice how all those big fellows at dinner sat down with us and the stage passengers, and the poor women had to wait on everybody?
29129Did you, Oscar?
29129Do n''t you know that this is a solemn age we are in, and a very solemn business we are on?
29129Do n''t you think so?"
29129Do you hear me?"
29129Do you really suppose that he will go?
29129Do you suppose your uncle would take me along if Dad would let me go?
29129Do you, Oscar?"
29129Eh?"
29129Ginger?
29129Had he ever heard of such a thing?
29129Had the boys ever killed any buffalo?
29129Have you that beautiful hymn?
29129Hear him?"
29129Hey, Charlie?"
29129How could they have left the trail without his sooner noticing it?
29129How did that happen?"
29129How do you suppose we are going to live if we have nothing to eat but wild game that we kill, and breadstuffs and vegetables that we buy?"
29129How far off is that?"
29129How is it with you, Aleck?"
29129How is that for a tall story?"
29129How much do you need?"
29129How much does it cost in fees to enter a piece of Government land?"
29129Hunter''s Creek?
29129I think I heard your brother call you Sandy?
29129I wonder what mother would think to see us at it?"
29129If Indians could do that, why could not white men?
29129Is n''t that so?"
29129Is that all right?"
29129It seems too good to have happened to us; does n''t it, Oscar?"
29129Louis?"
29129Louis?"
29129Never you fear''the Dixon boys who fear no noise''--what''s the rest of that song?"
29129Nothing worth saving?"
29129Now, then, how much land should there be in a quarter- section?"
29129Oh, would n''t that be too everlastingly bully for anything?"
29129Or was it one of your brothers?"
29129Oscar burst into a laugh, and said,"Wish you were an Indian!--so you could go hunting when you like, and not have any work to do?
29129Ruined, daddy?
29129Sandy had heard the shots?
29129Say, I never do grumble, do I, Oscar?"
29129See it bob up and down?"
29129See?
29129See?
29129See?"
29129Side- meat?
29129So he said to his father, when the Ohio man had passed on:"If they settle on Solomon''s Fork, wo n''t they be neighbors of ours, daddy?"
29129Something not quite so solemn?"
29129Suppose we get away by to- morrow morning?"
29129Suppose we take it up and put it somewhere else, out of harm''s way?"
29129Suppose you try changing legs?"
29129Tears?
29129That''s the reason why they say he is sparring his way, is n''t it?"
29129The boys looked at him with amazement, and Sandy said,--"Why, daddy, it''s the loss of a whole summer; is n''t it?
29129The handsome clerk looked approvingly at the boy, and said:"Found your friends?
29129The lively young darky came up again with,"Car''yer baggage aboard, boss?"
29129The minister''s eyes sparkled, and he replied,"What?
29129This is your brother, is it not?"
29129To Kansas?
29129We are Kansas Emigrants, are n''t we?"
29129We ca n''t get along without it, and that is a fact; hey, Charlie?"
29129We expect to raise something to eat, do n''t we?"
29129What are we going to live on this whole winter that''s coming, now that we have no corn to sell?"
29129What d''ye say?
29129What does Younkins say?"
29129What had become of the sheep?
29129What is the use of borrowing trouble about that?"
29129What should they do?
29129What use was that confounded old quarter, anyhow?
29129What was to be done?
29129What will you do, you cheeky boy, if they ask us for our board in advance?
29129What with?
29129What would happen if that great mob should suddenly take a notion to gallop furiously in their direction?
29129What would mother say if she knew I was lost out here on Flyaway Creek?"
29129What would mother say if she knew it?
29129What''s happened to stir you up so?"
29129What''s to prevent a band of Indians raiding through the whole place?
29129When the ploughmen met them, on the next turn of the team, Uncle Aleck said,"Did you catch the lapwing, you silly boy?
29129Where be you from?"
29129Where''s that, father-- do you know?
29129Which way were the Dixon boys going?
29129Who is it?"
29129Who should be the lucky one to take that delightful horseback ride down to the post, as Fort Riley was called, and get a glimpse of civilization?
29129Who would be willing to be left behind in a chase so exciting as this?
29129Who would dare to ask such a great favor?
29129Who''s afraid?"
29129Will our three yoke of cattle do it?"
29129Will you go too?"
29129Will you return to Kansas in the spring?"
29129Would he kill them, if he had the weapon to kill with?
29129Would n''t Charlie be of age before the time came to take out a patent for the land?
29129Would n''t it?"
29129You ought to be ashamed of yourself to be so-- what is it, Charlie?
29129Younkins?"
29129and how many bushels to the acre?"
29129are n''t they fine?"
29129are you crazy?"
29129broke in Sandy;"why will you always look on the dark side of things?
29129shooting buffaloes, deer, Indians, and all that?
29129what''s that?"
39401And why not Edwins, too?
39401Are not your people and the Oneidas brethren?
39401Belong in these parts?
39401But have you never heard of any other tradition? 39401 But is there no way,"asked Ruth,"in which this conflict can be avoided?"
39401But what talk we of these traitorly rascals, whose miseries are to be smiled at, their offences being so capital?
39401But,asked Singing- Bird,"what pale- face women_ do_?
39401But,said Ralph,"how is our indebtedness to be paid?
39401But_ what_ enemy,asked Barton,"can he be pursuing in this direction?
39401Can it be possible?
39401Can this be Singing- Bird, of whom I have heard so much?
39401Can you give me the direction towards the riotous assemblage you have mentioned?
39401Did n''t we know that?
39401Do you suppose, Eagle''s- Wing, that they''re anywhere round here now?
39401Does he mean to eat his own words? 39401 Eagle''s- Wing''s friend do n''t hate Singing- Bird now?"
39401For Heaven''s sake, Eagle''s- Wing, what do all these arrangements mean? 39401 Gone?"
39401Got friend, then,asked Singing- Bird,"who like to look at you-- who give you his heart?"
39401Guthrie,answered Ruth,"in what manner has my father or have I, injured you, that you should commit the act you have, to- day?"
39401Has any one ever explored this swamp?
39401Hate you? 39401 Hath not old custom made this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp?
39401Have you got husband, too?
39401Hear him talk, eh?
39401How Injin look dressed like white man?
39401How do you know that, Eagle''s- Wing?
39401How know that?
39401How long ago, Mr. Jenkins,asked Barton,"did the fight which you mention occur?"
39401How now, Sir Knight?
39401How would you be, If He, who is the top of judgment, should But judge you as you are? 39401 How''s that, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401How, then,asked Ralph,"would you pay off our indebtedness, and support the burthens of government?"
39401I say, Eagle''s- Wing, do you think the sarpent recollects_ us_?
39401I say, friend,said Ichabod, addressing Guthrie,"you keep a sharp look- out over there, do n''t you?"
39401I supposed,said Ralph,"that this country, through which we are now traveling, was in the possession of the friendly Oneidas and Tuscaroras?"
39401Is it certain we are to be attacked so soon?
39401Is it not possible that we may find some tolerably safe cover in it?
39401Is it right, Eagle''s- Wing, to kill Panther thus, in cold blood? 39401 Is your nation in this territory now?"
39401Know friend?
39401Know? 39401 May I ask the precise nature of the terms you mention?"
39401My father,she exclaimed,"is he safe?"
39401O gor- a- massy,''twas you, was it, Massa Jenkins? 39401 Of how many articles does your faith consist?"
39401Shall I tell Eagle''s- Wing this?
39401Shall I tell him to go back to the villages of his nation, and forget his squaw? 39401 That''s what I call fair,"said Ichabod, slowly;"but_ could n''t_ you, Squire, do a little something towards furnishing the capital?"
39401The Yankee pale- faces are strong, when they come together in armies; but are they strong_ here_? 39401 The country of the Senecas is not a good country, then?"
39401This Ichabod Jenkins probably resides in these parts?
39401Well, Eagle''s- Wing, what news from the Senecas?
39401Well, Ichabod, any more factory projects?
39401What Christian do, eh?
39401What are these Indians going to do with us?
39401What does my brother mean?
39401What is the meaning of that shout?
39401What is the meaning of this, Eagle''s- Wing?
39401What scalp good for, if they do n''t know''nough to keep Injin from taking''em?
39401What that?
39401What would you advise me to do, Guthrie? 39401 What''s the meaning of all this, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401What''s to be done now?
39401What_ can_ we do?
39401Who do you say captured her?
39401Who heard it from?
39401Who wants him to escape?
39401Why are you here in this section alone, Tuscarora, with none of your brethren near you?
39401Why has Canendesha dug up the hatchet, when the pale- faces and their Indian allies have buried it?
39401Why then, does Snake- tongue make us this long war- speech? 39401 Why would n''t it be a good idea for one of us to reconnoitre a little?
39401Why, how many Senecas do you think there are, Guthrie?
39401Will you allow me to ask,continued Bagsley, addressing Barton,"how long you have resided in this section?"
39401Would it not be better to escape at once? 39401 Would n''t such a system a little better allow us to take care of ourselves?
39401Yes, but the question is,said Ichabod,"how we''re going to get the water upon the roof, in case of necessity?
39401Yes, but why not bear off some other trophy? 39401 You certainly do not think of going thither?"
39401You do not mean to say that Eagle''s- Wing would make_ you_ do labor in the field?
39401You do not mean, Captain Weston-- you_ can not_ mean, Mr. Barton, that you will not release us?
39401You do not think they would dare to attack the cottage for the purpose of capturing him?
39401You mean, I reckon, that I shall take Eagle''s- Wing and put these thongs round his limbs, and pass him over to you as a prisoner?
39401You remember the divine injunction to the apostles, Ichabod?
39401_ What_ friend?
39401Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court?
39401Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court?"
39401Are two or three pale- faces a match for the young warriors of the Senecas?
39401Are you anything of a fisherman, Ichabod?"
39401Are you much acquainted with the old poets of the country?"
39401As they approached the crowd of Indians, Bagsley cried out,"Will anybody be civil enough to show me the ringleader of this disorderly assembly?"
39401But I say,"asked he, just thinking of the other captive who had been brought in that morning,"what other prisoner have they got here?"
39401But I want to know, if it''s considered gentlemanly, among the Senecas, to tie a fellow''s legs so cussed tight?"
39401But he escaped; and how?
39401But how, and where?
39401But what do_ you_ say, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401But who can foretell, from the look of this day, what shall be the appearance of the next?
39401But who is this Guthrie?
39401But why ca n''t we raise sheep here?
39401But why is he here-- two days''march from his friends?"
39401But will you allow_ me_ to ask, sir-- if my question is not too impertinent-- what business gentlemen of your profession can find in these forests?"
39401But you''ll say, Captain, that the foreign importations will ruins us?
39401Could it be that his body had been removed by a Seneca during the conflict?
39401Could n''t we a little easier build up manufactories of our own?
39401Could you not see that there is a propriety in accosting our friends with warmth, who are about to relieve us from an unpleasant situation?
39401Did I understand you to say, that this gentleman''s daughter has been taken prisoner?"
39401Did the pale- faces do that?
39401Did you ever read Freneau, Captain?
39401Did you ever read the ballad of''Lovewell''s Fight,''Captain?
39401Did you ever see a more terrific piece of writing than that, Captain?"
39401Do red men treat their brothers so, and expect that their hearts will be filled with peace?"
39401Do you want to know what''s coming next?"
39401Does my brother mean to lie?"
39401Had Ichabod been again captured?
39401Has he crossed the trail of an enemy?"
39401Have you not heard the story of the life and death of the Redeemer of the world, and of the truths that he taught?"
39401Hear that?"
39401How can I thank you?"
39401How do you like living with the Senecas?"
39401How massa Jenkins manage?"
39401How would an Injin look in the pantaloons and coat of a pale- face?
39401If the pale- faces do not, how can the Indians think so?"
39401Is he often at your father''s?"
39401Is it not so, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401Is it not so?"
39401Is that right?
39401May this not be a promise for the future?"
39401No recollect?"
39401Now, did Shakspeare ever write anything equal to Freneau''s"Antiquity of America"?"
39401Now, why ca n''t you get the start of the white men?
39401One feels to exclaim with the Bard of Avon,"Is not this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp?
39401Or shall I tell him to come and deliver himself up to his enemies?"
39401Shall I tell you why?
39401Should they remain here, or continue their flight towards the cottage?
39401Should we let the pale- faces, who have done all this, go and laugh at us?
39401Singing- Bird continued,"If you got lover, then, why do n''t marry?"
39401Speaking of the Squire''s fishing expedition, what other poet ever said as fine things about_ fish_, for instance, as she did?
39401The moment they were discovered by the party, Barton ran towards Ralph, exclaiming,"Is she safe, Ralph-- is she safe?"
39401Wake up, man; what are you dreaming about?"
39401Was anything ever more terrible than the description of the final judgment?
39401Was it possible that the Indians, satisfied with the lives of their two unfortunate prisoners, had abandoned the idea of again attacking the cottage?
39401We could find out for sartin whether any of the reptiles are ra''ally round here or not?"
39401Were they friends or foes?
39401What d''ye think they mean to do, Eagle''s- Wing?"
39401What did_ he_ know about_ our_ woods?
39401What shall we do with him?"
39401What was now to be done?
39401When are these Indians going to leave here?"
39401Where do you propose to establish your hermitage?"
39401Where is it?"
39401Who would have believed it?"
39401Why is it so?
39401Why should we let them loose to lie like snakes in the grass and bite at us?
39401Why should we not love to look upon the country of our brothers?"
39401Will my sister go and tell him whether she does or not?"
39401Will you not return with us?"
39401Without us, I may venture to say, the world would be helpless-- without us, what power would sustain the weak?
39401Would it not be better, Eagle''s- Wing, if all the pale- faces and all the Indians thought so?"
39401You ca n''t deceive_ me_, Eagle''s Wing-- you are on a trail?"
39401You do n''t like pickerel- fishing, then?"
39401You see that red devil, yonder, that''s been set here to guard me?
39401Your roads are not remarkably well worn or broken; and we have had quite a fatiguing journey; have we not, Rogers?"
39401asked Ruth;"that they were to go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature?"
39401cried Ichabod;"what''s the use of lying upon the ground, when you can just as well stand on your feet?"
39401ejaculated Barton,"what could_ I_ do in the factory business?"
39401exclaimed Bagsley, forgetting, in his fear, his professional character,"what shall we do?"
39401exclaimed Barton, with the appearance of surprise,"what business have the Senecas here, I should like to know?"
39401go to sleep will you, when you''re on duty?
39401how so?"
39401is it you, Eagle''s- Wing?
39401old veteran, was you there, too?"
39401said Eagle''s- Wing, quickly"What scalp good for to enemy, after he killed?
39401said the negro, grinning"who caught dis ere fellar?
39401sit still and do not''ing?"
39401whence yon glare, That fires the arch of heaven?--that dark- red smoke, Blotting the silver moon?"
39401which way?
39401why did n''t I think of that?
39401why not take a portion of the enemy''s dress, or something of that sort?"
50470Afraid of what?
50470And you?
50470Are we_ sure_ to meet them?
50470Are you afraid?
50470Both together?
50470But how are we to get there, brother?
50470Does a man pay extra to his servants?
50470Good Peter,said Queen Anne,"who are these?"
50470Governor Hunter, what of this?
50470Have you been to Schoharie? 50470 Have you returned, Heinrich?"
50470How are my brothers and sisters?
50470How much?
50470How will we make ourselves understood by them?
50470Is it cold there?
50470Is it for this that we have come so far?
50470Is there any danger?
50470Is this Schoharie?
50470It is coming very fast, is it not?
50470Might they have food and water for us?
50470O great King of Rivers,said she to the foremost Indian,"who are these your companions?"
50470Oh, sir, can we not go in to- day?
50470Schoharie?
50470Shall we meet storms like that?
50470Shall we see the Queen?
50470What are they?
50470What are you going to do now, Conrad?
50470What has become of it?
50470What is it, boy?
50470What is it, father?
50470What is it, lad?
50470What is the matter?
50470What is the matter?
50470What is this?
50470What will we do about the language of the savages?
50470When shall we see it again?
50470When will we start?
50470Where are we going?
50470Where do we go?
50470Where is Quagnant?
50470Where is father?
50470Where will they take us, father?
50470Who are you?
50470Who are you?
50470Why are they here? 50470 Why should any one molest people so poor as we are?"
50470Why start to- morrow?
50470Will our new home be near these kind Indians?
50470Will we be hungry?
50470But was it rescue?
50470Can you find your way thither?"
50470Could I speak to them?
50470Did you see our friends?"
50470Do you need any?"
50470Do you think the Germans could make tar?"
50470Do you wish to buy?"
50470Have you come, oh, fool, to wait also?"
50470He had counted his children over before he left the ship,--was separation to come so soon?
50470Is there no pine there?"
50470These-- his boys and girls-- what would befall them?
50470Was it possible that he meant to lead Conrad far away and desert him?
50470What did you find?
50470What does it mean?
50470What has befallen you?"
50470Where did they go?"
50470Why does he not come to take it?"
50470Will you be true to your brothers?"
50470Will you remember her counsels, lad?"
50470Would the Queen provide for them until they could sail?
50470Would there be ships enough to carry them all to the New World?
50470Would you like to enter on this strange apprenticeship?"
61658But what is Peter going to do?
61658Oh,said the other boy,"where does he come from?"
61658Well, then,said I,"why do n''t you travel faster, and let us get there?"
61658What George?
61658What did the people live on?
61658After all, who knows?
61658And while I was wondering how to secure one, a young Indian, as if he divined my thought, said to me,"Will you go to- morrow?
61658As I looked, I asked myself,"Am I dreaming?
61658But my boot-- could it ever be mended?
61658Did the people where I came from fight?
61658For a moment I stood in amazement; then the fact that William and myself were still on this side made me shout to Peter,"How are we to cross?"
61658He was on foot, but I saw he had a small pack on his back, and my first question was,"Have you anything to eat?"
61658Hudson''s Bay-- we had a very vague idea where that was; but Norway House, who could tell us about this?
61658I said to Peter,"Will the bear not be good to eat?"
61658I said,"What is the matter?"
61658I went on the jump, thankful for the change, and finding Mr. Woolsey, I said,"What is the matter?
61658I whistled to Peter, and he said,"What is it?"
61658If a bear was to kill you?"
61658If anything had happened to you, what could I say to him?"
61658Is this so?"
61658Presently I said,"How are we going to cross?"
61658The sweltering heat, the numberless mosquitoes-- who can begin to describe them?
61658What about war?
61658What are you doing behind here, ready to give up?
61658What could he see?
61658What did he know?
61658What had spoken to her?
61658What is the matter with you?
61658What was the first declension, what did you do with it, how learn it, how recite it?
61658When are they going to camp?
61658Why do n''t they camp?
61658what made you jump off your horse?
61658where was I, but far behind?
61658will you hunt with us?"
61658would it ever look as it had?
46328''What''s all this, boy?"
46328''La, Mister Harris, a what?'' 46328 Alone?
46328And Mary Brand herself-- what is she like?
46328And now, what have the Gentiles and the Philistines to say against us Mormons? 46328 And we?"
46328Any game here? 46328 Bacca?"
46328But are you sure of this?
46328But, Antoine, what became of him at last? 46328 But, José, how many did they leave dead on the field?"
46328Do''ee hyar now, you darned crittur?
46328Do''ee hyar, boys?
46328Do''ee hyar, now, boys? 46328 Do''ee hyar, now?
46328Enfant de garce, mais pourquoi he com home? 46328 Got any about you?"
46328Have ye the faith in me, that ye believe I can perform this miracle?
46328How many did we kill, José?
46328How''s powder goin''?
46328In Saint Louiy?
46328Injuns?
46328Is my brother''s skin not red?
46328Is the top- knot gone, boy?
46328Perfectly well, and your very humble servant, reverend father; and your worship also, I trust you are in good health?
46328Them doins wo n''t shine in this crowd, boy, do''ee hyar, darn you? 46328 Ti- ya,"growled Bill,"do''ee hyar, now, you darned greenhorn, do''ee spile fat cow like that whar you was raised?
46328Well, my men, how are you?
46328Whar''s Bill Williams?
46328Whar''s them mules from? 46328 Whar?"
46328What brings a duck a- streakin''it down stream if humans ai n''t behint her? 46328 What does my brother want,"he asked,"that he lopes like a wolf round the fires of the white hunters?"
46328What does the nigger say?
46328What''s beaver worth in Taos?
46328What''s the sign like, and how many''s the lodge?
46328Where from, stranger?
46328Who was this La Bonté, Antoine, who you say was so brave a mountaineer?
46328Why, John, old hoss, how do you come on?
46328Why, old hoss,cried La Bonté,"what brings you hyar then, and camp at that?"
46328You seed sights that spree, eh, boy?
46328( Any bacca in your bag, Bill?
46328And who can big Pete Herring be dressing that silver- fox skin so carefully for?
46328And who is it that jokes and laughs and dances with all the"boys"but him; and why?
46328Any buffalo come in yet?"
46328Any call for buckskin?"
46328But tell me, old hoss, can you make understand the sign as shows itself in a woman''s breast?"
46328But whar''s your campan- yeros?"
46328But when did the course,& c., e''er run smooth?
46328Ca n''t they, brother Dowdle?"
46328Certain, the old State comes across my mind now and again, but who''s thar to remember my old body?
46328Did n''t him and Chabonard sit in camp for twenty hours at a deck of euker?
46328Did''ee ever see sich a darned pelt, now?
46328Do you believe it?
46328Do you believe it?
46328Do you feel like camping?"
46328Do''ee hyar?
46328Don Antonio, how do you find yourself, sir?"
46328Down the grain, I say,"he continued, in a severe tone of rebuke,"and let your flaps be long, or out the juice''ll run slick-- do''ee hyar, now?"
46328For whom but Mary Brand?
46328Have ye this faith in yourselves?"
46328How do you feel?"
46328How many did you see, Maurice?"
46328How many said you, José?"
46328How''s trade on Arkansa, and what''s doin''to the Fort?"
46328I shows him the piece I chipped out of the tree, and he called it a putrefaction too; and so, marm, if that was n''t a putrefied peraira, what was it?
46328I thought you were under?"
46328If them Spaniards was n''t born for shootin'', why was beaver made?
46328Is a man to be hunted by Injuns all his days?
46328Is n''t this old coon putting out to save yee from the darned Injuns now, do''ee hyar?"
46328It wo n''t shine, and whar''s the dollars?
46328Old Bill was already packing his animals, and as he pounded the saddle down on the withers of his old Rosinante, he muttered--"Do''ee hyar, now?
46328Surely Hatcher went out that time; and, adapted from the Indian figurative language, was n''t Bill Garey along, too?
46328Were they afraid, or were they preparing a dog- feast to entertain their friends?
46328Whar away you see them darned Blackfoot?"
46328Whar''s the ind of this, I say?
46328Whar''s yourself from?"
46328What could he do in the settlements, where there was n''t room to move, and where it was hard to breathe-- there were so many people?
46328What do you say, old hoss?"
46328What has come of it, and whar''s the dollars as ought to be in my possibles?
46328What was his name?
46328What''s the sign out on the plains?"
46328What''s your talk, stranger?"
46328Where does she come from, stranger?"
46328Who could that strapping young fellow who passed the door just now be going to see?
46328Who''s fust guard, boys?
46328Whose band was it, Maurice?"
46328Why does the medicine- wolf follow the buffalo and deer?
46328You was with us that spree, Jemmy?"
46328_ Valgame Purissima Maria!_ And what is the name of this holy woman?
46328and who''s thar in these diggins but Injuns, and the worst kind?
46328and why did he not come home, when he made so many dollars?"
46328can it be you?"
46328cried another:"if these savages come, then will they kill Pedrillo, and what will Juanita say to lose her sweetheart?"
46328exclaimed one of the whites, who understood Spanish;"who''s a- goin''to hurt you, you little critter?"
46328exclaimed the elder,"you surely can not eat such disgusting food?"
46328fort beau garçon dis La Bonté; pourquoi you ne l''aimez pas?
46328he asked;"where are they?"
46328he said,"will you be simple enough to camp here alongside these springs?
46328he would whine out,"can''t''ee keep quiet your old fleece now?
46328hold on till I''ve grained this cussed skin, will''ee?
46328how do you get your animals along?"
46328hyar''s a deck, and hyar''s the beaver"( rattling the coin);"who dar set his hoss?
46328not gone under yet?"
46328says Black Harris;''would a skunk stink if he was froze to stone?
46328says old Bill;''ai n''t we men too, and white at that?
46328sneered the latter;"what care I for Pedrillo?
46328this sign''s as plain as mon beaver to me; look at that hoss- track, boy; did ye ever see that afore?"
46328why, did the leaves and the trees and the grass smell badly?''
46328why, whar''ll the blood be goin''to, you precious Spaniard?
46328you''ve no ammunition, then?"
58568''When must the trial take place?'' 58568 But why,"continued he, impatient and disgusted with the interview''s length,"why do you ask these ridiculous questions?
58568Do n''t yer see, Tom Bradford, ef them ez is missin''never got ter my cabin, they never got by one o''them t''others?
58568Do you think, Susie, you could ride on my horse?
58568Ef er man leaves Whoopin''Holler fer Sandy Bar, he kain''t git offen ther trail, kin he? 58568 His''n is er mighty lonesome place, hain''t it?"
58568Oh, Susie, are you seriously hurt? 58568 What do you mean?"
58568What is what?
58568Where are you hit now?
58568Who?
58568A terrific yell from the rear at this moment caused Booth to look around, and Hallowell to inquire,"What''s the matter now?"
58568Again Hallowell asked,"How far off are they now, Cap.?"
58568An''ef he do n''t kim back, an''do n''t go ahead, he mus''''a''stopped somewhar''twixt ther two places, mus''n''t he?
58568An''ef he haint heerd of fer a long while, he mus''hev stopped fer good, eh?
58568Booth stood looking on while Hallowell''s wounds were being dressed, when the adjutant said,"What makes you shrug your shoulders so, Captain?"
58568But where was Susie, the woman he loved?
58568Ca n''t you get out?"
58568Carried off a miserable captive among the soulless savages?
58568DID HE COMMIT SUICIDE?
58568Forsythe inquires anxiously,"Can they do better than that, Grover?"
58568Hallowell, from his cramped position in front, noticed the change in their tone, and asked,"What are they doing now, Cap.?"
58568He added"if any gentlemen(?)"
58568He grasped Hallowell''s left arm, and directed his attention to them, saying,"What''s that?"
58568He was getting mad at the manner in which his statements were being received; he grew very red, and blurted out:"Ike Podgett hain''t home now, is he?"
58568Hev yer sich a place whar we- uns kin converse ondisturbed?"
58568I am the old bull to be driven away by the cowardly coyote and die, leaving my bones to whiten?
58568Ike Podgett a murderer?
58568Is there a warrior here who dare follow me?"
58568It was thought at first his wounds were the cause, but when asked,"What''s the matter?
58568Major, what''s this?"
58568Now do yer understan'', Tom Bradford?"
58568Thar hain''t but one trail, is thar?
58568That the parties had been murdered was now conceded; but upon whom could suspicion rest?
58568What can I do?"
58568What man would blame him?
58568When I again looked all around me, and beheld the young warriors in their pride and strength, I asked myself:''Why do I live any longer?
58568While Booth was intently watching their hostile movements, Hallowell asked,"They are Indians, are n''t they?"
58568Who do n''t?
58568Who knows What earth needs from earth''s lowliest creatures?
58568Why?"
58568Will the Bad Spirit touch them?"
58568With a jerk of his body he tore it loose, and going to Hallowell, asked,"Where are you hit now?"
58568Would they hold out until the bridge was reached, provided they escaped the spears of the Indians?
58568You ai n''t crazy enough to suppose that a murder could be committed at such an exposed place, and everybody in town not know it in ten minutes?
58568You are the buffalo that leads the herd?
58568You are the greatest warrior of the Comanches?
58568You ask me to follow you?
58568and where on the lonely route were the damnable deeds committed?
58568darling?"
58568replied the astonished doctor;"Susie, a woman, here too?"
58568said Issachar Noe-- a favorite expression of his when excited--"how can a man content himself in such a spot as this?
58568what do you mean?"
58568with a characteristic shrug, and his ever- ready"Quien sabe?"
42619''Ow was hit, Mose?
42619And he will listen to her counsel?
42619And now, man, what is it you have to tell me?
42619And what does he think of her?
42619And who is Clo- ke- ta''s husband?
42619And why?
42619And you were born there?
42619Are not you the son of Mr.----, of Galena?
42619But if you had found him, Butch'', what was it you meant to do?
42619Ca n''t yer leave the fire alone?
42619Ca n''t you guess, Mose?
42619D''yer see this?
42619D''yer think I''m a fool, Cap?
42619D''yer think the skulking beasts would ha''given yer a fair chance?
42619D''yu see that?
42619Did I?
42619Do n''t you know that there''s a good chance of our being smothered, like rats in a hole which has been stopped up?
42619Do you know Mr. Sutherland, sir?
42619Do you not see they have stopped at the turn of the darned track, Captain?
42619Do you think I shall not go with you?
42619Do you think so?
42619Do you think so?
42619Do you think you can stand it, Mose?
42619Does he now believe what Clo- ke- ta has told him?
42619Does n''t he?
42619Du yer know the skunk the folks in Washington sent to Pyramid Lake, last fall, as[ 3]Injun agint?
42619For what, sir?
42619Hand H''i too?
42619Has anything happened?
42619Have n''t you ever thought of fighting ag''in Secesh?
42619Have yer ever been through that part, Mose?
42619How can I?
42619How do I know you will?
42619How do you feel now, Mose?
42619How do you know what they are?
42619How far off, Butch'', did you believe the red- skins were?
42619How far off, is it?
42619How far?
42619How is that?
42619How many?
42619How on airth can I?
42619How on airth should I, Cap?
42619How war that?
42619How was what?
42619How?
42619How?
42619I''d like to know who the whites were the darned scoundrels have trimmed so neatly?
42619Is Clo- ke- ta, then, married?
42619My brother has seen Clo- ke- ta?
42619Now, tell us, how you got into this darned scrape, old boy?
42619Smoke- creek Sam?
42619Take a drink, Zac?
42619The Indians from whom I am then to fly are the Bannocks?
42619Then you do n''t believe there is much gold in this part of the country?
42619They say, Mose, you are on the trail?
42619Wall, Mose, du yer want the infarnal red cusses who helped murder my Hattie to git clean off?
42619Whar am I to git one?
42619Whar are the keerds?
42619Whar''s yer horse?
42619What are you doing-- Rangers?
42619What are you driving at?
42619What are you thinking of, Bill?
42619What can he do with them?
42619What d''yer mean?
42619What d''you mean?
42619What do yer mean, then?
42619What do you mean, Tom?
42619What do you mean?
42619What do you really mean?
42619What du yu mean?
42619What for, Butch''?
42619What is up now?
42619What says my brother?
42619What tumblee?
42619What war it I meant to do? 42619 What?
42619Where are you, Dave?
42619Why d''yer think so, Captain?
42619Why in thunder do n''t yu go, then?
42619Why not? 42619 Why should he do so?"
42619Why was he let in?
42619Why,''ow was hit that villin Rascall did n''t thrash you, as''e did Pigeon, when''e got hinto your wagon?
42619Why?
42619Will Clo- ke- ta provide my brother food?
42619Will Par- a- wau mount the horse of his brother?
42619Will my brother do as Clo- ke- ta has bidden him?
42619Will you-- re- eelly, do that?
42619Without even a trial?
42619Would n''t it be better to split''i m down, and splice''is two hends?
42619You do not mean to give the thieving vagabonds, anything more?
42619You know the voice, Mose?
42619You know what it''s for, then?
42619You''re hawful smart, hain''t you, Mose? 42619 You''re sure of that?"
42619Your father had a brother in this city?
42619Yow could I help it?
42619''ave they h''all ha dozen wives h''apiece?"
42619--_Page 141._] But what is the use of prolonging such a recital?
42619And of what was this whole visible street composed?
42619As Arnold not unnaturally asked the sergeant, who addressed it to me:"What the devil could it mean?"
42619As for my dear little wife, to whom I had written so hopefully from St. Joseph, what could I now say to her?
42619But what have I to do with such thoughts as these?
42619But why had they visited my hole in the snow, and why had they afterwards left it?
42619Butch''demanded:"Have yer got any game?"
42619Could I doubt that it had been also displayed in the atrocious massacre of General Wright and the unfortunate men who had accompanied him?
42619Did I not recognize one of them?
42619Do n''t you think we had better take the trail?
42619Dobbs?"
42619Had I not, in my own person, had a sufficient experience of the gentleness of these she- devils?
42619Hain''t I told yer Frank Drake is fighting the red devils, by himself?"
42619How in thunder am I to go fur wood?"
42619How in thunder could he go to the wood- pile, while the door was locked?
42619How should they know our Uncle wanted to be theirs, too?
42619How, indeed, could I do otherwise?
42619I asked,"how, the red beggar to the right of the fellow was eying our horses?"
42619I said,"do you think the Major would have been such an idiot as to get trapped by the red skunks?"
42619It was an inquiry whether the friends who had so kindly answered them were"on our trail?"
42619No sooner did he see his companion fall, than he asked briefly:"Are you wounded?"
42619On hearing it the Ranger''s bronzed face flushed, and he turned on the captain, exclaiming:"What hin''ell do you know habout hit?
42619Rushing towards me, Bill cried out:"What his the matter, Mose?"
42619Shall it be as Par- a- wau says?"
42619Suddenly, it seemed to me-- was I dreaming?
42619Then he added,"D''idn''t Hi say so?"
42619Then, why did you give the stinking devils what they asked for?"
42619Throwing my arm around his neck, I said:"Where are you going?"
42619Was I not maddened with the long siege I had endured?
42619Was I not wild from my lengthy imprisonment on the mound, and eager upon the work of death?
42619Was I to go out of life something like the dying snuff of a candle, without one free blow in a square fight?
42619What chance was there I could over- much think of the past, in the absolute toil and the positive demand for vital activity of the present?
42619What could I do to release them?
42619What could be said upon his behalf?
42619What did it mean?
42619What if I did do so?
42619What if he is?"
42619What on airth else, should I mean?"
42619What the deuce was he coming to?
42619What was it to me what she was thinking of?
42619What was left to us but to wait and hope?
42619What was there for us to do?
42619What was to be done?
42619What was to be done?
42619What would Captain Crim say if he ever heard of this?
42619Where was Brighton Bill and my other companions?
42619Where was the money to come from?
42619Who would call him a coward?"
42619With my broken arm, what was there left for me to attempt?
42619Without it, what was there for me to do?
42619You are all right now, are you not?
42619[ Illustration:"''D''yer see this?''
42619[ Illustration:"''Does my brother now believe what Clo- ke- ta has told him?''"
42619are n''t we enough for''em?"
42619are yer about?"
42619brings you back here?"
42619man, have you no clearer idea about it than that?"
42619of these fellows?"
42619whar''s Tom?"
42619what was this?
42619you surely did not think I had forgotten you?"
20618A scorched Injun keeps hez distance from the blaze, do n''t he? 20618 A snake killer, Moike, do ye moind thot?
20618About, about?
20618Alone?
20618Alone?
20618And Jack?

20618And what can have become of her?
20618And what do you want done?
20618And what is your name, and who are you?
20618And where is my uncle now?
20618And you are willing to pay me five hundred extra for picking out my target, Vorlange?
20618Are you a prisoner, too?
20618Are you bound for the agency?
20618Been printing some out here?
20618Boys, whose animal is this?
20618Business? 20618 But how came you here?"
20618But the boy''s?
20618But the noise?
20618But vot goot vill it do to vait by Honnvell?
20618But whar is Nellie?
20618But whar is he now?
20618But what is it-- out with it?
20618But, if so, why does n''t he come back here with her?
20618But-- but I am without a cent, and----"How much do you want, Dick?
20618But-- but where are you taking me? 20618 But-- but-- what happened to me?"
20618Ca n''t you come out?
20618Ca n''t you swim?
20618Can I get to my uncle from here? 20618 Can I trust you?"
20618Can he be up here?
20618Can the Mexican have waylaid her?
20618Can thet be Pawnee shootin'', or is it Dick an''the others?
20618Could n''t do it, eh, boy?
20618Did he try, too?
20618Did n''t you notice at all, Pumpkin? 20618 Did white boy hear what Yellow Elk said?"
20618Did you follow me?
20618Do I know him?
20618Do you feel safe enough to find the camp alone?
20618Do you know his name?
20618Do you mean the Captain Mull that was wanted for several shady doings, Pawnee?
20618Do you mean to insinuate that I am a thief?
20618Do you mean to insinuate we are horse thieves?
20618Do you reckon the boomers know we are on hand to stop them?
20618Do you see that hole?
20618Do you then know Dike Powell?
20618Do you think I''m going to put up with the way I''ve been treated? 20618 Do you think the robber thought of the deeds when he robbed you?"
20618Do you want me to expose him?
20618Does Yellow Elk want to die? 20618 Does white boy want to die?"
20618Eh, Tucker?
20618Father, do n''t you know me?
20618Gracious, Rasco, you vouldn''t hit me, afther I ride me dree miles und more ter tole you?
20618Hang it all, why must even a redskin be so all- fired bad? 20618 Has anybody seen the dunce?"
20618Has he been threatening you, lad?
20618Have you any idea?
20618Have you seen anything of Nellie?
20618Have you the papers with you?
20618He took your money?
20618He was sick, too, was n''t he?
20618Hold on; what''s this racket about?
20618How about being shadowed in the affair?
20618How long ago was this?
20618Hullo, Jack Rasco, wot''s the best word? 20618 Hullo, there, miss; what are you doing away out here?"
20618Hullo, what can this mean?
20618Humpendinck, are you telling the truth?
20618I dink I vos keep out of sight bis he vos cool off, and den-- Mine gracious, Bumpkin, var did you come from? 20618 I dink me you vos mine pest friend, next to Pawnee Prown, ai n''t it?"
20618I do n''t know whom you belong to, old boy, but you''ve got to carry me back to camp, and that, too, at a licking gait, you understand?
20618I hope you wo n''t abandon the search?
20618I say, how did you come here?
20618I want to know what brought you out here, Dike Powell?
20618I wonder if I''ve got to stay here like a bull- croaker at the bottom of a well?
20618I wonder if father could have come down here?
20618I wonder if it is safe to attempt to cross this prairie? 20618 If father is dead, what shall I do?"
20618Is he?
20618Is it?
20618Is n''t he in the camp? 20618 Is that so?
20618Is this the animal?
20618It''s a move we are afther makin''at last, is it?
20618It''s mighty strange the gal do n''t turn up, ai n''t it?
20618Jack, I believe I once told you about my schoolboy days at Wellington and elsewhere before I left home to take up a life on the cattle trails?
20618Keep''em? 20618 Kill you?"
20618Love?
20618May I ask how you fell in with that greaser?
20618Maybe he''s the rascal as knocked yer dad over?
20618Me?
20618Might as well go back,he said to Dick, then as he saw the boy start he continued:"What''s up?
20618Missing, eh-- an''thet''s his headgear? 20618 Missing, is he?
20618Moike Delaney, phot kind av a horse do yez call that?
20618My Nellie?

20618Now where in the name of creation have you brought me to, and how am I to find my way back to camp from here?
20618Now you''re out, how am I ter make it?
20618Now, why ca n''t you act nice, when I''m in such dire need of your services? 20618 Oh, Dick Arbuckle, is that you?"
20618Oh, Dick, have you-- you-- killed him?
20618Oh, Dick, what shall we do?
20618Oh, sir, what will they do with him?
20618On guard, eh? 20618 Pawnee Brown see the fire- stake?"
20618Poor father, where can he be?

20618The man with the red mask-- the fellow who struck me down?
20618The ones referring to that silver mine in Colorado?
20618Then why ca n''t I stay here? 20618 Then you bear the lad no love?"
20618To where?

20618Want him some more?
20618Well, Vorlange, what am I to do now I am out here?
20618Well, whar''s Rasco and the gal?
20618Were you alone with Yellow Elk?
20618Were you getting anxious about me?
20618Whar do we move to?
20618What about that boy you mentioned?
20618What business is that of yours?
20618What can have become of those boys? 20618 What can this mean?
20618What do you mean?
20618What do you want of me, Pawnee Brown? 20618 What do you want of me?"
20618What does this mean?
20618What else, Pawnee?
20618What for?
20618What for?
20618What is it, Arbuckle?
20618What is it, Bonnie? 20618 What is it, Dutchy?"
20618What is it, lad?
20618What is it?
20618What is that he is carrying, wrapped up in his blanket? 20618 What makes you think I did?"
20618What rascal, father?
20618What shall we do?
20618What sort of a game are you working on me now?
20618What white boy do here?
20618What''s the meaning of this? 20618 When will the boomers move?"
20618When will the reinforcements be up this way?
20618Where have you been these long years?
20618Where in the world is this adventure going to end?
20618Where is Pawnee Brown now?
20618Where is Pawnee Brown?
20618Where is he now?
20618Where is he now?
20618Where is he?
20618Where is that rascal?
20618Where is the boomers''camp?
20618Where is the man who sent for me?
20618Where to?
20618Where to?
20618Where was this crime committed?
20618Where-- where am I?
20618Which way did he go?
20618Which way, Pawnee?
20618White boy all alone?
20618White boy got udder shooter?
20618Who could have attacked father?
20618Who goes there?
20618Who is the man?
20618Who is there?
20618Who says I-- I did that?
20618Who struck me? 20618 Who was killed?"
20618Who was the white man?
20618Who-- who hit me?
20618Who?
20618Why do n''t you fight fair? 20618 Why does Pawnee Brown ask?
20618Why not Indian dare? 20618 Why not?"
20618Why should n''t I be? 20618 Why should n''t I?
20618Why-- why do you want him knocked over?
20618Will you promise to give me the money as soon as you have the proofs?
20618Will you? 20618 Will you?"
20618Wonder if he has missed his way?
20618Wonder if there are any more around?
20618Wot do yer advise us ter do-- stay here?
20618Wot is dreadful?
20618Wot''s that yer sayin''?
20618Wot''s the row here?
20618Would you kill me?
20618Would you-- you shoot me-- now?
20618Yellow, how did you run across that girl?
20618You are certain Jack is captured?
20618You are sure of this?
20618You did n''t come out to investigate?
20618You wo n''t go after the boy and the girl?
20618You wo n''t go on with the search?
20618Ai n''t Jack Rasco about?"
20618Am I in time?
20618An''ye think Mortimer Arbuckle knows this same chap?"
20618And what do you know of him?"
20618And what may your name be?"
20618And yet you did n''t see me come in, Dirty Nose?"
20618Boy, where did you get that nag?
20618But whar did yer come from, and have yer found out anything about yer poor father?"
20618But what brought you here?"
20618But what shall I do just now?"
20618But what was the name he mentioned?"
20618But who knows but what it was one of the boomers?
20618Can something have happened to father?
20618Can they have been Dick, Nellie Winthrop and Yellow Elk?
20618Danger ahead?"
20618Dick, have you any idea where Bonnie Bird is?"
20618Did Arbuckle speak the name of Vorlange-- Louis Vorlange?"
20618Did Yellow Elk have such a hiding place?
20618Did you ever see the like?"
20618Did you see anything of him?"
20618Did you see that bear I brought down?"
20618Do n''t you know you are on forbidden ground?"
20618Do n''t you remember that?"
20618Do yer know the man?"
20618Do yer see anything of her?"
20618Do you intend to throw up your hands?"
20618Does he not deserve death?"
20618From what direction had that cry for help proceeded?
20618Had Yellow Elk crossed the stream, or doubled on the trail and gone back?
20618Have they deserted me or gone off for help?
20618He is----""Dick Arbuckle?
20618Hev ye sot eyes on airy o''the Arbuckles?"
20618How do you like that?"
20618How is the foot?"
20618How would you like to have a thousand back in return for the five hundred you loaned me?"
20618I ca n''t stop to bury him, and yet----Hullo, what are those papers sticking out of his pocket?"
20618I presume you belong to that crowd of boomers, since you say you were carried off from Arkansas City?"
20618I reckon turn about is fair play, ai n''t it?"
20618I reckon you remember the man who kicked you all around the agency two years ago because you tried to steal his new pair of boots?"
20618I said she wuz dreamin'', but I allow now ez I might hev been mistook, eh?"
20618I thought he came here with my mare?"
20618I wonder if I ca n''t get out by way of the roof?"
20618I wonder if Nellie or the redskin had her?"
20618I wonder what has become of that girl?"
20618If I can read character I fancy that Dick Arbuckle will do all he can for me-- and, by the way, can his father''s corpse really be down here?"
20618Is it possible he fell overboard?"
20618Is it possible?
20618Is yer father gone?"
20618It ai n''t fair ter let yer follow Vorlange alone; an''with only one hoss----hullo, wot does this mean?
20618Missing?
20618Nellie, do you think me so selfish?
20618Now, do n''t thet look like he had something on his mind?"
20618Oh, Dick, what does it mean?"
20618Oh, Dick, why did you let me drop off?"
20618Quarter of an hour more and he would be up to his head, and then----?
20618Rosy Delaney says he went off with Pumpkin to look for his dad, who had disappeared----""Then he did n''t come back?
20618See here, Yellow Elk, do you want to be shot?"
20618See them footprints?"
20618Should he advise another movement during the night to come and then a forward dash?
20618Should he follow this?
20618Since when?"
20618So he got your private papers?"
20618So you were struck down?
20618That is all right, but what are you doing here?
20618To this she made no answer, for what would be the use of talking to such a fierce creature?
20618Tucker, is that you?"
20618Was it a cry, or merely the moaning of the rising wind?
20618Was it the approach of some white friend?
20618Was the heart of that secret to be laid bare at last?
20618Whar is Pawnee Brown?"
20618Whar''s thet cave, Gilbert?"
20618What are you doing to that boy?"
20618What are you doing with Sergeant Morris''horse?"
20618What are you up to?"
20618What business have you got outside of your position as a land office spy?"
20618What can have become of him and Bonnie Bird?"
20618What can he be doing on the river?"
20618What could take him outside in such a storm as this?
20618What could that mean?
20618What do you say?"
20618What had that awful cry heard by Dick meant?
20618What if the horse he rode should make a noise, or if his own Bonnie Bird should instinctively discover him and give the alarm?
20618What is his name?"
20618What is that?"
20618What made his father mutter that name in his dreams, and why at such time was he talking of murder and hanging, and sobbing that he was innocent?
20618What of him?"
20618What shall we do?"
20618What was that which had reached his ears from a distance?
20618What was this new mystery which confronted him?
20618What was to be done?
20618What, that boy?
20618Where are the other boys?"
20618Where are you?"
20618Where is he?"
20618Where was he and what had happened?
20618Where was it located, and was the Indian chief its only user?
20618Where?"
20618Which way shall we go?"
20618Who can that stranger be?"
20618Who do you mean?"
20618Who goes there?"
20618Who is it for?"
20618Who was it, do you know?"
20618Why did n''t I think of that before?"
20618Will you go along, too?"
20618Wot''s the other fellow''s handle?"
20618Yer did n''t expect it o''thet viper, lad?
20618You are at the head of the Kansas boomers, are you not?"
20618can that be meant for me?"
20618he cried, kicking on the wagon wheel with the toe of his boot;"Mike Delaney, have you seen my father anywhere?"
20618they will shoot Jack-- if you let''em, but I know you won''t-- will you now?"
20618what''s that?"
20618where have I been?"
20618wot''s that?"
20618you know Yellow Elk?"
6823--and looking at me with dull, heavy eyes, she said,"And what is the matter wit''you?"
6823After Mrs. Palmer had embraced me she held me off a little and said:"What have you been doing to your face?
6823And of what use would it be to arrange things attractively now?
6823As he passed him a voice said in the purest English,"Lieutenant, can you give me a sear spring for my rifle?"
6823At last I said, almost sobbing,"Ca n''t you see for yourself how funny all those things are in front of us?
6823But I finally said,"Hal, you have not forgotten your old friend?"
6823But a day or two after we got here she said to me,"What are we to do about those fish, Mrs. Rae?
6823But how did the man know just where to get a pistol?
6823But what could we have done?
6823But why did they call to us-- why beckon for us to come down?
6823Can one imagine anything more horrible?
6823Colonel Mills listened patiently and then said,"But you like ice during the summer, do n''t you?"
6823Colonel Mills said,"You are musicians, you say?"
6823Dismount before Lieutenant Golden, a cavalry officer and Faye''s classmate, and all those staring troopers-- I, the wife of an infantry officer?
6823Findlay came in the room just as I reached the table, and I said,"Findlay, what has happened here?"
6823Going to the side of the table opposite Ellen I said,"Ellen, what is the matter with you?"
6823I asked General Stanley to look at it, but he said,"That?
6823I asked,"Why?"
6823I knew very well, too, that the sergeant''s angry roar when he asked,"Who bridled this horse?"
6823I saw that he was unhurt and apparently well, but-- where was Hal?
6823IT seems as if I had to write constantly of unpleasant occurrences, but what else can I do since unpleasant occurrences are ever coming along?
6823It was not right for Faye to give liquor to an Indian, but what else could be done under the circumstances?
6823So I said,"Did you meet our friends in the army ambulance just down the road?"
6823The driver looked back, and not seeing me, bawled out,"Where is the lady?"
6823Then I saw that she was drunk, horribly drunk, and told her so, but she could only say,"I''m drunk, am I?"
6823When I told him to sweep the rooms after everything had been carried out, he said:"What for?
6823With an awful pain in my heart I asked,"Did Lieutenant Lomax shoot Hal?"
41777All right; do you say keep on?
41777And did he catch ye?
41777And how about you chaps?
41777And how came father and mother to miss them?
41777And is that the honest truth now, Whart?
41777And so ye want to mix in this business?
41777And they will try to prevent us doing so?
41777And what did Arqu- wao do?
41777And what is that?
41777And what then?
41777And where were Blazing Arrow and the rest in waiting?
41777Are ye sure it''s yersilf, Whart?
41777Are you all right?
41777At whom did you fire?
41777Because I see him; look beyant, right across the lake-- don''t ye obsarve him?
41777Big house-- fort-- place where white men are?
41777But is it the right one?
41777But what about the two that wint across a little while ago?
41777But why not? 41777 But you do n''t explain; did you see anything of Red Crow?"
41777But you say you saw Blazing Arrow?
41777Did n''t you aim at him?
41777Did you ever see a red crow, younkers?
41777Did you run as fast as you could?
41777Did you see anything of an Indian with a bow and arrow?
41777Do n''t you think Red Crow is acting wisely?
41777Do n''t you understand what it means?
41777Do ye hear that?
41777Do ye mind now that they wo n''t start before morning, and they ca n''t reach the falls till about noon?
41777Do you want to help us?
41777Halloo, what''s up now?
41777Has Blazing Arrow ever injured him?
41777Has Red Crow had time to reach the spot?
41777Have you discovered anything?
41777Have you had anything to do with him?
41777How are ye going to get to the same?
41777How can he help himself?
41777How can we know which course to take? 41777 How can ye know that?"
41777How can you know that?
41777How do things look to you?
41777How do you know he ca n''t? 41777 How is it that he and the others did not kill my father and mother as they rode along the trail?"
41777How long ago did they pass this way?
41777How long ago did you leave?
41777How shall we manage it?
41777How was it, Kenton, that you came to shoot awhile ago?
41777How will he account for his failure to capture me, and what explanation will he give for the loss of my gun? 41777 How will we manage it?"
41777I believe that is what has happened; they had a quarrel when they met in the trail; why did n''t Blazing Arrow kill him then?
41777I can see none; do you?
41777I say, what''s the matter?
41777I wonder if he can throw across the lake?
41777I wonder if he''s right?
41777I wonder what sort of yarn he will tell his people when he goes back?
41777I wonder what that means?
41777I wonder what the name means?
41777I wonder what''s become of Whart? 41777 I wonder where he is?"
41777I wonder where that cratur is?
41777I wonder where they can be?
41777I wonder whether any of them have got over yet?
41777I wonder whether he has any suspicion that I am behind him?
41777I wonder whether he intends we shall cross it?
41777I wonder whether he means us to stand right here or to dodge behind the trees, as we did before?
41777I wonder whether, if we have a fight, he will help us or Blazing Arrow? 41777 I''m thinking it means an Indian half- scared to death; but, Whart, what''ll we do wid him, now that we''ve got him?"
41777If I had outrun you would I have been allowed to go free?
41777If the Indians had to take one, why did n''t they take mesilf? 41777 Is the whole party coming over one by one?
41777It is a purty good tramp yet afore we reach the settlement; can you all stand it?
41777It''s off yonder, is n''t it?
41777Kenton, why was it you were in such a hurry to get along the trail when you left the block- house?
41777Me catch dem,he hastened to say;"horse walk-- Arqu- wao run faster den horse-- he hurry-- tell dem-- me do that?"
41777No, do you?
41777See dere-- eh-- see dat?
41777Suppose I had beaten you?
41777Suppose he can beat me?
41777Suppose we get into trouble?
41777The same to yersilf; and have ye suffered no harrum?
41777Then I can beat you?
41777Then we''ll consider it settled; and how are ye?
41777We heard a rifle awhile ago; do you know anything about it?
41777Well?
41777What can be his business with us unless it be unfriendly?
41777What can this mean?
41777What do you mean?
41777What do you think of it, Simon?
41777What do you think of that, Larry?
41777What does all this mean?
41777What hindered you from catching me?
41777What is it, owld felly?
41777What led you to follow them in such haste? 41777 What makes you say that?"
41777What of his manner just now?
41777What the mischief can I do?
41777What war the hurry? 41777 What were ye trying to do, anyway?"
41777What''s that?
41777What''s that?
41777What''s that?
41777Where are they?
41777Where did you overtake them?
41777Where does father intend to return to the main trail?
41777Who can say where they are waiting for us? 41777 Who made that?"
41777Who said there was n''t, younker?
41777Why did n''t Blazing Arrow and the others wait for us to come?
41777Why did n''t I think of the same?
41777Why did n''t ye sind word to me, so that I could have stood by ye and cheered ye on and watched the sight? 41777 Why did you come here?"
41777Why have n''t they appeared to us?
41777Why not?
41777Why so?
41777Why will we be killed?
41777Why, Kenton, did n''t you tell me this before?
41777Why, then, do n''t ye run yersilf?
41777Ye are right,straightening up,"which means that two people have passed this way-- pretty lately, too; but how can we know who they were?"
41777Yes-- me know-- me show,replied Red Crow, with such haste that he unconsciously dropped into English, which he spoke ill."Where is it?"
41777You say that you know a better way to the settlement, where we can take the horses?
41777And did he, while quickly weighing the chances, hesitate?
41777But what should be done?
41777Could it be that his friend was not only free from the Shawanoes, but was so near?
41777Did you hear him yell?"
41777Do ye mind that tree over there to the right, beyant, that has been knocked all to splinters by lightning?
41777Do ye mind that, I say?"
41777Do ye mind, too, that we can travel a good many miles atween this time and sunrise?"
41777Do you think he would take it kindly if I threw my cap in the air and gave him a hurrah?"
41777Had they looked down at the ground they must have discovered the footprints of the boys, and what then?
41777Have the folks passed that yet?"
41777He kept it up, however, for he was now running for life, and what is to be compared to such a stake?
41777He shook the hand of each in turn, and Wharton asked:"Where did you come from, Kenton?"
41777He''ll be the first to stop; but, Wharton, what about you?"
41777How did you know they were in such great danger?"
41777How was it that this Indian was in possession of the signal which the two youths used when in danger?
41777Howdy?"
41777I wonder what''s become of Whart?"
41777I wonder whether he knows about that?"
41777If two or three succeeded in getting to the rear of his position( and what was to prevent it?)
41777Pointing to the hoofprints, clearly showing in the earth, he asked:"What do they mean, Arqu- wao?"
41777She listened in amazement, and then said:"Why, do you think you could write a book like that?"
41777Suppose that a party of them made up their minds to cross at the same time we do?"
41777They ai n''t fur off, Brigham?"
41777Was it not you who tried to kill me when we were about to run a race?"
41777Was it work?
41777Wharton now advanced and spoke:"Arqu- wao, do you know where the block- house is?"
41777Wharton related in as few words as possible their experience with the strange creature, and asked:"Has he always been that way?"
41777What could he do without me?
41777What do you think?"
41777What does Whart maan by sinding me away while he stays and wo n''t jump?
41777What does it mean?"
41777What more likely to deceive them than the act of taking them to a plainly marked path through the woods?
41777What would you have done to me if you had outrun and captured me?"
41777What''s the matter wid ye?"
41777Where can the fellow be?"
41777Where has he gone?"
41777Whither had he gone?
41777Why could n''t that spalpeen have showed himself where he made me expect him?
41777Why did not the pursuer stop short and bring his rifle into play?
41777Why does he have such a strange name?"
41777Why have you chased me so far to- day?"
41777You remember the natural clearing, a little way out toward the block- house?"
41777do ye note what the spook is at?"
41777do you hear that?
41777exclaimed the father, recognizing the names, and striding in front of the Indian;"do you know anything about those two boys?"
41777exclaimed the pioneer to his wife,"do you see that, Margaret?"
41777muttered the enraged Simon Kenton,"why did n''t I get hyar jes''a minute sooner?
53784A very fair one,but a light suddenly striking upon my mental vision,--"Where do the lubras get them from?
53784And whether or not, may n''t you and I be as well killed together?
53784And why is the bed between you and me vacant?
53784But why are they all lying down?
53784Ca n''t you get it a little sooner, Mary?
53784Come, Mary,I said,"surely you could manage something in less time?
53784Do n''t you know whose ground you''re on?
53784Do they want_ work_?
53784Do you think he intended himself to be satirical for me?
53784He is here sure enough, and in fine order, but how are you going to take him home? 53784 How did he stop the horse?"
53784How did you sleep, Fred?
53784Sure, is n''t the child there?
53784What do they want, Scott?
53784What''s the matter with him?
53784What''s your name, and what do you mean by coming here to shoot and frighten the ducks?
53784****** Whose conscience is heavy with this dark guilt?
53784A cry for help?

53784Did he think Of a happy summer time-- Of the village meadow-- river brink, Of the merry wedding chime?
53784Did not Cornborough, that grand old son of Tramp, emigrate to Victoria under his auspices?
53784Dignified matron, whoever you be, Would not twenty- two do for thee?
53784Do I not doze off almost before the evening''s meal is concluded?
53784Do I turn round until sunrise next morning?
53784Do you not observe the silver thread of the river winding through that exquisite green valley?
53784Does a maiden, fair and free, Get prudent just at_ twenty- three_?

53784Was there not also another legal celebrity not as yet graced with the accolade?
53784What are the virtues they can see Just about to bloom in me In the magical year of_ twenty- three_?
53784What are you going to do with me for instance?"
53784What did I please to want?
53784What else could cast a shadow over my prosperous present and promising future?
53784What was the next thing that was necessary to be done?
53784Whatever can the reason be That they want a girl just_ twenty- three_?
53784When I first saw the ground referred to, then known as"Cox''s Heifer Station,"how could one divine the transformation it was fated to undergo?
53784Who was I that I should have had this grand inheritance of happiness immeasurable made over to me?
53784Whom should she fear on earth?
53784Why did people ever repine or complain?
53784Why must you search o''er land and sea For the golden age of_ twenty- three_?
53784Why rein the steed, in wild amaze?
53784Why should I be_ twenty- three_?
53784Why will they not come back?
53784Would twenty- one be shown to the door, And twenty told to come no more?
53784You do n''t happen to have a cigar, do you?"
53784can it be?
53784if it must be-- shall I never see home again?"
53784like the author of_ Eothen_?
53784that murmur, hoarse and deep, None save the ocean- surges keep?
44671All right,said Jack,"but would n''t you rather fire?
44671And how have you been getting on yourself, Bat?
44671And if I should have a son, and ever want to bring him out here and show him the things that I saw when I was a boy, he could not see them?
44671And what are you going to do this season, Hugh?
44671Big mountains, ai n''t they, son?
44671But is n''t there danger that the bull will throw him off, and catch him and kill him?
44671But why is that?
44671But, Hugh,said Jack,"are n''t there laws forbidding people to set the timber on fire?"
44671Do you know, boys,Hugh continued,"I''ve about made up my mind what we''d better do?
44671Do you remember how I cut off that sheep''s head?
44671Everything all right, Joe?
44671Have some more water, Dowling?
44671Have they seen any Sioux lately?
44671Have you got your glasses with you, son?
44671Have you seen anything of Hugh?
44671He had horns, Hugh,Jack said,"and if I should be able to find him to- morrow, I could bring those in, could n''t I?"
44671How big is it, Joe?
44671How was it?
44671I do n''t know, Hugh,said Jack;"what do you think the chances are?
44671I expect you picked out a heifer, did n''t you?
44671Is it worth while taking any of it along?
44671It is n''t a very good place for that, is it?
44671It seems to me that elk are''most everywhere, and I suppose they''ll always be here, wo n''t they?
44671Jack,said Hugh,"do you suppose you can carry both of these little bear hams?
44671Now, Joe,said Jack,"which of us shall shoot?
44671Now,he said,"do you boys want to go up and watch for bear again to- night?"
44671O Hugh,said Jack,"do you think we got''em all?"
44671Oh, where are they, Hugh? 44671 Pity you did n''t kill your moose,"he continued;"what do you think was the matter?"
44671Sure?
44671That means ten days then, Hugh, does it?
44671That''s a good story, Hugh,said Jack,"but do you suppose the dancing of the White Cow Society really brought the buffalo?"
44671This is a great elk country, is n''t it, Hugh?
44671This used to be a great place for fur, did n''t it Hugh?
44671Watch him,said Joe,"he''s a pretty good herder, is n''t he?
44671Well, Hugh, did you ever see two bulls fight?
44671Well, Hugh,continued Jack,"what does Assinaboine mean?
44671Well, Jack,said Joe,"what are you going to do now?
44671Well, boys,said Hugh,"what do you want to do?
44671Well, but Hugh,said Jack,"what''s going to become of all the game?
44671Well, how can we get at him?
44671Well, what did they do for smallpox, Hugh? 44671 Well, what is down timber, Hugh?"
44671Well,said Jack, as Hugh''s form grew smaller and smaller in the distance,"what do you suppose this means, Joe?"
44671Well,said Jack,"which one of us shall go?
44671Well,said Jack,"why do n''t they go after the thieves?"
44671What about the hostiles, Joe?
44671What are you fellows laughing at?
44671What do you mean, Hugh?
44671What do you say, Joe, does that suit you?
44671What kept you?
44671What kind of meat did you use when you were dragging the bait?
44671What time is it, Hugh, do you think?
44671What tribe are they related to?
44671What''s that house that I see up there, Hugh? 44671 When are the cubs born?"
44671Where are you goin'', young fellow; you and that old man I see you talking with?
44671Where are you going, and what are you going to do-- hunting or trapping, or what?
44671Where do you suppose Hugh will camp, Hezekiah?
44671Where''s the camp Hezekiah?
44671Why Hugh,said Jack,"do you mean to tell me that this is old Fort Union?"
44671Why, Hugh, is that the Musselshell?
44671Why, son, did n''t you know that? 44671 Why, sure,"said Hugh;"why not do that?
44671Wo n''t be good for anything,said Jack;"how do you mean?
44671Yes,said Hugh,"I reckon that has something to do with it; but how did you climb yesterday?
44671Yes,said Hugh,"have n''t you ever seen a bull do that before?"
44671''Shall we shoot?''
44671After camp had been made, the horses attended to, and supper eaten, Jack said to Hugh,"Are there many moose in this country, Hugh?"
44671After they had unpacked their animals and made camp, Hugh said to Jack,"Son, have you ever been here before?
44671Ai n''t you the young man that was with General Custer in the Black Hills, and afterwards scouted for Miles, down on the Yellowstone?
44671Are you ready?"
44671As he came in front of the lodge, Hugh said to him,"Hello, Joe, what have you got there, a jack rabbit?"
44671As he walked up to the fire, Hugh said,"Well, here you are, eh?
44671As the visitor rose to go, he looked about the lodge and said,"So this is an Indian lodge, is it?
44671At last Jack turned to Joe and said,"What do you say, Joe, shall we go any further?
44671But Jack demurred, and said:"Hold on, Hugh; are you going to stay here and meet this man?
44671CHAPTER XII WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE ELK?
44671Did you hurry on and try to get to the top of each cliff quick, going as fast as you could, and then stop and rest for a long time?"
44671Do n''t you know that in 1843 Audubon, the naturalist, and a party of his friends, came up here to find out a lot about the Western birds and animals?
44671Do n''t you know, he said there were n''t horses enough in Wyoming to pay for our lives?
44671Do you agree to my words?''
44671Do you expect if you leave meat out on the mountain that bears, or wolves, or Indians, or white people either, are going to pass it by and not use it?
44671Do you mean to say that if I come out here twenty years from now there wo n''t be anything for me to hunt?"
44671Do you see anything that you recognize?"
44671Do you see anything that you recognize?"
44671Has it any real meaning, like some of these other names of Indian tribes that you tell me about?"
44671How did they cure themselves?"
44671How do you suppose those bears knew that you were coming back?"
44671Hugh hailed them, when they got in, with an expression of surprise, saying,"Why, you done the whole job, did n''t you?
44671Hugh paused, and Jack asked:"Does any one know how they came to separate, Hugh?
44671I feel as fresh to- day as if I had n''t been in the saddle for a week; do n''t you, Pete?"
44671I guess you''d better, because I do n''t think you have ever killed a big ram, have you?"
44671Is n''t there going to be any left after a few years?"
44671Is that so?"
44671Is that the way down timber is made here?"
44671Is there any tradition about it?"
44671Jack called out to him,"What are they doing, Billy?"
44671Jack saw that Hugh was making fun of him, and said,"Well, how shall we take them, Hugh?"
44671Jack slapped his thigh with his hand, as he said,"That would be bully, would n''t it?
44671Jack stopped his horse and said to Hugh:"Hugh, is there anything in that story that porcupines throw their quills?
44671Joe said to Jack,"Jack, have you seen all this old beaver work up north of the camp?"
44671Nobody lives here now, does there?"
44671Now tell me, who are the Mandans?"
44671Now, how do you suppose those Assinaboines knew that White Cow had been killed?
44671Shall I turn Pawnee loose, or shall I tie him up here by old Baldy?"
44671Shall we keep on climbing, and try to get up to the top, or shall we walk along one of these benches?
44671Shall we take horses, Hugh?"
44671That night in the lodge, as they were getting ready for bed, Hugh said to Jack,"Son, have you ever been through this country before?
44671That night, Joe said to Jack,"Say, Jack, do you want to see some fun to- morrow?"
44671That''s the time bears come out, is n''t it?"
44671The next morning while Hugh was getting breakfast he said to Jack:"Son, why do n''t you kill some meat?
44671Then he turned to the girl, and said to her''Have I spoken well, my daughter?
44671They seem warm and comfortable, but are they not rather smoky?"
44671Try to remember that, will you?"
44671Were his horns big?"
44671Were you ever badly scared by a bear?
44671What creek is it?"
44671What do you say boys, shall we all watch here to- night?"
44671What do you say?
44671What do you say?"
44671What do you think?"
44671What shall we do?
44671What sort of a place is it to wait?"
44671When did you calculate to watch?"
44671When they said that, Eagle Ribs said,''Why do you talk about doing that?
44671Where did you come from?
44671Who are the Gros Ventres, and who are the Mandans?
44671Who did you hear it from, Joe?"
44671Who is it that is suffering?''
44671Will any of them come back after one being killed last night?"
44671Would either of you rather go any other way, or will you leave it that way?"
44671Would n''t you like to kill the old bear?"
44671Would you like to hear it, Jack?"
44671You know where it is, Hugh?"
44671You remember that tame one we had down at the ranch?
44671You''ve seen those things, have n''t you?
44671or was it your brother?
44671said Jack,"has the owl anything to do with the weather?"
44671said Jack,"if we could only know about all these things that happened, and what the history of each tribe was, would n''t it be interesting?"
20223Allow what?
20223Am I to stay here, Motoza?
20223And what if they could? 20223 And who knows but that it contains valuable gold or silver mines?
20223And whom can your father trust before_ us_? 20223 Are all red men as bad as that?"
20223Are there any more of these animals left in the neighborhood?
20223Are they left wholly to themselves?
20223Are you afeard to do it?
20223Are you following a straight course to the ranch?
20223Are you looking for any one?
20223At what are you engaged just now?
20223Brothers want more?
20223But I know mine struck him somewhere,was Fred''s desperate exclamation;"could it have taken the same course as yours?"
20223But I s''pose you hain''t any''bjection to my giving the laugh to Bill?
20223But the father of the other boy-- the one that''s missing-- he''s rich too, ai n''t he?
20223But what awoke you?
20223But what good will that do? 20223 But what made that wound?"
20223But what of the agreement you would have to make before he gave me up?
20223But what''s the use of kicking?
20223Could not Motoza be made to swear against him?
20223Did n''t he admit as much to you?
20223Did you ever see the smoke of a camp- fire act like that?
20223Did you give him my message?
20223Did you go on to California?
20223Did you hear me?
20223Did you hear that?
20223Did you hurt him?
20223Did you notice where it landed?
20223Do n''t I look a little pale, Jack?
20223Do n''t you see that he had to make the ch''ice atween doing nothing at all or tackling the younker? 20223 Do you intend to stay on that side of the canyon?"
20223Do you know I had forgotten all about that? 20223 Do you know what he means, Bill?"
20223Do you mean to kill him, Hank?
20223Do you see him?
20223Do you see that crag that juts out from the side of the lower part of that peak?
20223Do you see that?
20223Do you still hold to that resolve?
20223Do you suppose he was frightened when he found there were two instead of one to face?
20223Do you suppose it was Hank, who wanted to have some fun with us?
20223Do you think I acted right, Fred?
20223Do you think he shot Fred?
20223Do you wish Fred and me to part company?
20223Do you wish he had n''t done so?
20223Hank,said Jack,"why did Motoza give us any of the venison?"
20223Have you ever seen the Eastern panther?
20223Have_ you_ thought of it?
20223He could have slain poor Fred in some other way, but do you believe he has done so?
20223He gib heap money fur_ you_, eh?
20223He gib thousand-- gib ten thousand-- hundred thousand-- million dollar-- eh?
20223He must have known I had n''t a mouthful of food?
20223He would n''t, eh? 20223 How about his revolver?"
20223How about_ me_?
20223How am I to spend the time?
20223How are we going to reach the other side?
20223How can we help it?
20223How can we know he''ll give up the younker after he gits the money?
20223How can you know that?
20223How did you find that out?
20223How do you make that out? 20223 How does Bowman''s ranch compare with others in Central Wyoming?"
20223How is he to learn, when he wo n''t go near it? 20223 How is it you are awake?"
20223How is it, Hank, that you do n''t keep any dogs?
20223How many months can you stay in Wyoming?
20223How many months?
20223How shall we make sure?
20223How should I know?
20223How should you know anything about it anyway?
20223How so?
20223How''d I know if I had n''t heard it?
20223How?
20223Howdy, brother?
20223Howdy, brother?
20223Howdy?
20223I do n''t know nothing''bout it; what are you driving at? 20223 I do n''t s''pose he made any objection-- that is, he gave you his gun without making a kick?"
20223I s''pose you mean that laugh? 20223 I suppose you know that Mr. Dudley, the father of my friend, owns half the ranch?"
20223I wish it were,was the honest exclamation of Jack Dudley;"but how was it he came to form his partnership with Motoza?"
20223I wonder if he sees us?
20223I wonder where Hank is; can it be that he, too, is watching in the neighborhood and has seen Motoza come out as I saw him? 20223 I wonder whether anything will happen to you?
20223I wonder whether he knows I have n''t got a firearm about me? 20223 I wonder whether he sees us?"
20223I wonder whether we would have done any better if we had brought a dog with us?
20223I wonder, Jack, whether there''s any risk of your falling asleep?
20223I wonder, now, if somebody has been there and stolen them?
20223If you want something to eat, why did you not come forward openly and ask for it?
20223In what direction?
20223Is he fiercer than the gray one?
20223Is that so?
20223Is the younker in there?
20223Is there any other way to talk?
20223It ca n''t be to_ us_?
20223It does n''t look as if you would; but what is your business? 20223 It will as soon as we find Fred,"said Jack, with a faint smile;"but what about yourself?"
20223Jack, what about the feelings of Motoza_ now_?
20223May I ask your errand thither?
20223Never; have you?
20223No; but I wonder whether we are going to stumble over them at every step?
20223Not soon enough, though, to keep you from obsarving what we''ve been talking about?
20223Now tell me who this man Tozer is?
20223O Jack, are you sure he bit you?
20223Of course it would spoil the enjoyment of Jack unless he could take Fred with him, but what excuse shall we make, Doc?
20223One of them young tenderfeet is missing, eh?
20223One of you stood guard last night while the other slept?
20223S''pose you bring him, and then I''ll ask his folks if they want to make you a present of five thousand dollars-- how''ll_ that_ work?
20223Say a Winchester rifle and a revolver apiece, with the proper ammunition; what sort of supplies did you think I meant?
20223Seems to keep it up, eh?
20223Since the fear of our testimony restrained him, why did he not seek to remove_ us_ in the same manner, when he has had more than one opportunity?
20223So that scamp is in the mountains? 20223 So you seen me, did you?"
20223Suppose I catch sight of one of the animals you name, or a dog Indian-- what shall I do?
20223Suppose I should convince him on that point, how about_ you_?
20223Suppose all does n''t go well?
20223Suppose something happens that will prevent my ever seeing them?
20223Suppose that danger comes in the form of an Indian; what would he care for half a dozen fires?
20223Suppose we are separated, and there is only one of us in camp?
20223Suppose_ you_ suggest something?
20223Sure there is n''t any mistake about that?
20223That''ll see us through till morning,said Jack,"but how about to- morrow and the next day?"
20223That''s the name I gin''rally go by; which one of you is Jack Dudley?
20223The younker has been here, but what the mischief has become of him?
20223Then it''s safe to set Motoza down as a friend?
20223Then one has to stand watch?
20223Then t''other one is Fred Greenwood, eh?
20223Then the canyon can not be as extended as we thought?
20223Then you came up the canyon from the break and went back again?
20223Then you have no doubt that Motoza is the cause of it all?
20223Then you intend to leave us?
20223Then, Hank, you''ll leave matters with me till I see you again?
20223There are other kinds of bears in Wyoming?
20223Wal, now, to git down to bus''ness, as you say; s''pose Doctor Greenwood sends word that he wo n''t or ca n''t raise the money you ask-- what then?
20223What about the black bear?
20223What about_ you_?
20223What are we likely to see?
20223What do those letters mean?
20223What do you make of it, Jack?
20223What do you mean by a maverick?
20223What do you mean by supplies?
20223What do you mean by treating Motoza right? 20223 What do you mean?"
20223What do you mean?
20223What do you suppose he was after?
20223What do you want with me, Motoza?
20223What does the scamp mean by doing that?
20223What give you that idee?
20223What good will it do us, so long as it is_ there_? 20223 What in the name of wonder is he doing down there?"
20223What is it?
20223What made you fire your gun''bout two hours ago?
20223What makes you so afeard he''ll hear us?
20223What other kinds of game are we likely to meet?
20223What should we do for our meals? 20223 What tribe does he belong to?"
20223What was the meaning of it?
20223What will Hank think, when he goes to camp to meet us?
20223What''ll you do?
20223What''s that?
20223When did you feel that bite?
20223When will that be?
20223When?
20223Where did you git your breakfast?
20223Where you hit him?
20223Where''s the younker?
20223Which way do you wish me to travel?
20223Who said there was only one of the imps?
20223Who, then, could it be?
20223Why are you so sure about Motoza?
20223Why both of them?
20223Why do you call them''dog Indians?''
20223Why not fall back on what we first talked about?
20223Why not?
20223Why not?
20223Why not?
20223Why of''_ us_?''
20223Why should he go back? 20223 Why would you wish to do that?"
20223Why?
20223Why?
20223Will he pay the money?
20223Will you keep your appointment with Tozer?
20223Wonder how it was with him?
20223Yes; who would have thought of such a thing?
20223You ca n''t, eh? 20223 You could n''t make it any too strong; how did he take it?"
20223You know how curious they are? 20223 You mean that he has forgotten where the stairs lead up to the top?"
20223You mean that we are to spend each night in this place?
20223You shot a buck, eh? 20223 You will, eh?
20223Your story begins with the first sight of the antelope; what happened afore that?
20223And did n''t Hank Hazletine"give him the laugh?"
20223And where, all this time, was old Ephraim?
20223Are we to give you the money afore you produce the younker?"
20223At the same moment that it was observed, a tiny point of light shone through the gloom, and some one called to them:"Is that you, Hank?"
20223Bok- kar- oo told me what you had told him; it''s queer business, is n''t it?"
20223But how about breakfast?"
20223But what are you waiting for?"
20223But what of it?
20223But what''bout Hank Hazletine?"
20223But what''s the use of one of us keeping guard here?"
20223Can it be Motoza has had anything to do with it?"
20223Could he believe his senses?
20223Could it be he would have to abandon his effort after making so fine a start?
20223Could it be possible?
20223Could it be possible?
20223Despite his own fixity of gaze, Hank noted what they were doing, and turning abruptly toward them, asked:"Do you obsarve anything''tic''lar?"
20223Did n''t you hear it?"
20223Did you hear that?"
20223Do you comprehend?"
20223Do you observe, young man, that the forenoon is well along and we have n''t had a sight of any game?"
20223Do you remember what that old settler told us on the train, a couple of days ago?"
20223Do you suppose I would allow you to spend a month in that wild region without a companion to look after you?
20223Does a football- player mind a little thing like that?
20223Fred was thoughtful a moment, and then asked:"Hank, what do you mean to do about Tozer?"
20223Hardly was he a hundred feet from the couple when Hazletine asked:"What''s up, Bill?"
20223Have you been to breakfast?"
20223Hazletine?"
20223He advanced with the same lengthy step and extended his hand with his hearty"Howdy?"
20223He might tramp back and forth for nights and days, but with no success, for Fred Greenwood was gone-- whither?
20223How does that strike you?"
20223How long would they have left me there without bringing me anything to eat?"
20223How much money will Motoza ask to produce the younker?"
20223How was it you knew where to look for me?"
20223How was it?"
20223How''s that appetite of yours?"
20223Howdy?"
20223I am not afraid to make the leap; are you?"
20223I can feel it all through my body; and do n''t you see that my ankle has begun to swell?"
20223I s''pose the Sioux will want the money afore he turns over the younker?"
20223I wonder if that can be brought about?"
20223I wonder whether Hank is ahead of us?"
20223I wonder whether anything can have befallen him?"
20223I wonder whether he believes I intend to idle my time till night and then go back to headquarters and wait for him?
20223I wonder whether, if we stayed out here a few years, our feelings would change?"
20223Jack and Fred laughed, too, until their sides ached; and who shall deny that there was not full cause for their merriment?
20223Meanwhile, where was Fred Greenwood?
20223Must he pick his way down the side of the canyon, again, to the cavern, and there meekly resume the torture of waiting for death from starvation?
20223Need it be said what followed?
20223Now, do n''t you think he will feel some gratitude for that?"
20223Now, if Doctor Greenwood has word by telegraph that he must pay five thousand dollars to git his younker back agin, what''ll he think?"
20223Now, why did n''t he go back?"
20223On the first of October you will start for Wyoming----""Alone?"
20223R.''?
20223R.''strike you?"
20223Rather is he not proud of his scars and bruises, which attest his skill and devotion to his own club?
20223Shall you or I unfold our brilliant scheme?"
20223So you made a trade with the young man?"
20223Suppose Jack reminds you of the fact?"
20223The elder took off his hat and called:"Are you ready?"
20223The guide slowly turned his head and looked fixedly at the youth before replying:"Would n''t you''ve heerd his gun?"
20223Then Jack asked, in an awed voice:"Did you see his face when he turned toward you just before walking away?"
20223Then he became cool again and asked:"Is it possible?"
20223Then with a voice and expression of scornful contempt, he asked:"What do you think of Motoza''s love for you and Fred?"
20223They listened, unconscious of the passage of the hours, until he abruptly asked:"What time is it?"
20223This was to be the prison of Fred Greenwood until when?
20223Turn back or keep on?
20223Wal, I s''pose you''re ready to start for the ranch, younkers?"
20223Was it safe to wait a minute or two longer?
20223What do you think of it, Hank?"
20223What do you think of it?"
20223What does that mean?"
20223What have you to say to_ that_?"
20223What more likely, therefore, than that he was conducting him to some remote place, where his body would never be found?
20223What reason, then, has he fur saying Bill had anything to do with the bus''ness?"
20223What should he do?
20223What was the ultimate intention of the Sioux?
20223What would have been the course of Hazletine had he seen Motoza, not doubting, as he did, the guilt of the miscreant?
20223What''s frightened the ponies?"
20223What''s the next step?"
20223When was he to be released, or was he not to be released at all?
20223Where''s your baggage?"
20223Why did n''t you shoot the chap?"
20223Why did you let him have any of it?"
20223Why do you steal into our camp like a thief of the night?"
20223Why does n''t he stay with us?
20223Why had he not searched there before?
20223Why not climb the side of the canyon?
20223Why, then, should they place themselves in such great danger when they had nothing to gain and all to lose by doing so?
20223Why, therefore, should not mercy be shown to him?
20223Wo n''t he feel cheap?"
20223Would you wish to harm the emblem of our country?"
20223You call Motoza tief, eh?"
20223You did n''t kill any Injins?"
20223_ Do you hear?_"The demand was made in a loud voice and accompanied by a threatening step toward the Indian, who showed no fear.
20223can it be?"
20223demanded Jack, his face flushed, and his anger greater than before;"did n''t you hear me ask for my gun?"
20223he exclaimed to himself;"what can have become of him?"
20223he said, with ludicrous dismay;"there ai n''t nothing wrong in_ that_, is there?"
20223howdy, brother?
20223repeated the wondering Jack Dudley;"what do you mean by that?"
20223you fader hab heap money, eh?"
6663Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said''This is my own, my native land?'' 6663 Then why did thee leave the table?"
6663Those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft-- where be your gambols? 6663 What was it?"
6663What,he asks,"is the stillness of the desert, compared with this place?
6663Where did you see it?
6663Which affords the greater enjoyment, anticipation or participation?
6663Which was the greater general, Wellington or Napoleon?
6663And did these men of whom we have been speaking make war alone upon the mighty forest?
6663And is this, thought I, the end of the only record of the dear friend of my boyhood; the merry, happy girl whom every one loved?
6663And who has not heard the remark when a sudden shiver came over one; that an enemy was then walking over the spot which would be his grave?
6663But therefore, gods?
6663But were those who slumbered beneath forgotten?
6663But what about Prince Edward county?
6663Could we, the sons of these men, go through this?
6663Debating classes also met and discussed grave questions, upon such old- fashioned subjects as these:"Which is the more useful to man, wood or iron?"
6663Did n''t Wellington always thrash him, Mr. President?
6663Did n''t he whip him at Waterloo and take him prisoner?
6663Did they find their way alone to the wilds of Canada?
6663How is it now?
6663How much is remembered of the work of our greatest men?
6663How was it to be done in this howling wilderness?
6663I thought of Falconer''s lines:--"Full oft shall memory from oblivion''s veil Relieve your scenes, and sigh with grief sincere?"
6663Is it far enough away from the busy haunts of men to suit you?
6663Is there any place in the world where such marvellous changes have taken place as here?
6663No one left after a score of years to care for her grave?
6663Once more who would not be a boy?"
6663Then, the thought came: Where are those boys now?
6663Were they not heroes?
6663What classic goblet ever felt Such thrilling touches through it melt, As throb electric along a straw, When the boyish lips the cider draw?
6663What do they know about the evil of a scolding wife?
6663What have these agents done for us, apart from the wonderful impetus given to trade and commerce?
6663What more did we want?
6663What would be said over such an announcement in these days?
6663What would have been said, think you?
6663Where among the countries of the earth shall we find a more rapid and vigorous growth?
6663Where was he to sleep, and how was he to protect himself against the perils that surrounded him?
6663Who can explain these things?
6663Whose heart hath ne''er within him burned As home his footsteps he hath turned?"
6663Why do they weep, and whither are they bound?
6663Would you not rather sing--"O solitude, where are the charms Which sages have seen in thy face?
6663your songs?
755Auld Lang Syne,and"John Brown,"what would the chorus be without poor"Griff''s"voice?
755The Island Valley of Avillonis left, but how shall I finally tear myself from its freedom and enchantments?
755We''re going cattle- hunting, will you come?
755But still I have not answered the natural question,[15]"What is Estes Park?"
755Can it not be bought by dollars here, like every other commodity, votes included?
755Could I by any effort"make myself agreeable"?
755Did I know that a man was"strung"there yesterday?
755Does it all mean sugar?
755Had I not seen him hanging?
755How CAN I ever leave it?
755How can you expect me to write letters from such a place, from a life"in which nothing happens"?
755How shall I ever leave this"land which is very far off"?
755I often thought,"Suppose I am going south instead of east?
755Is common humanity lacking, I wonder, in this region of hard greed?
755Mr. K. says that the first thing he said to him this morning was,"Will Miss B. make us a nice pudding to- day?"
755My thought at the moment was, Will not our Father in heaven,"who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all,"be far more pitiful?
755November?
755Shall I ever get away?
755Suppose Birdie should fail?
755Suppose it should grow quite dark?"
755The settlers have"great expectations,"but of what?
755Then in feverish tones,"How dare you ride with me?
755Was it semi- conscious acting, I wondered, or was his dark soul really stirred to its depths by the silence, the beauty, and the memories of youth?
755What would Estes Park be without him, indeed?
755Why do I write almost?
755Would the sublime philosophy of Thomas a Kempis, I wondered, have given way under this?
755You will ask,"What is Estes Park?"
755You wo n''t speak to me again, will you?"
755or the son of man, that Thou visitest him?"
755or,"Will you help to drive in the cattle?
755that woman going into the mountains alone?
5337All right,said Mr. Howard,"but where will my brother and I stay to- night?"
5337An''you saw a man that high?
5337And an Indian fighter?
5337And each of us that sing?
5337And how with you, Riley?
5337And what in the name of God will you do with her when you get to Fort Yuma?
5337And you got whipped? 5337 And you had fifteen hundred men in that three days''fight?"
5337Are you going all the way on foot, and alone?
5337Are you sure?
5337Have they found the body?
5337How was it, Willie?
5337Is that so?
5337Mr. Drannan, do you tell me that you captured those horses from an Indian?
5337Now Willie,he said,"do you think you can do that to- morrow morning?"
5337Oh, kind sir,she said,"are you the Boy Scout?
5337Pizened?
5337Sure you saw him?
5337Then you were here in this part of the country at the time of the Mountain Meadow massacre?
5337Well, how are you, anyhow; and how have you been since you left, and who is this you have with you?
5337Well,said I,"you know they were all Gentiles that were killed and what''s the difference?"
5337What boy?
5337What shall I call you? 5337 What shall we do?"
5337Where is your father and what does he follow for a living?
5337Where were you raised,said the Colonel,"that you do not drink whiskey?
5337Who did this?
5337Why do you wish to go in an opposite direction?
5337Why, Lieutenant, do n''t you know who that is you are talking to?
5337You want to take me away with you and not let me see my wife and bid her good- bye?
5337A little, fat Missouri girl, spoke up and said:"Will you let any one that sings have a lock of your hair?"
5337After I had informed him that I would have to take them all back to Gen. Wheaton''s quarters, Charley said:"What for?"
5337After the Colonel had told me of the council and manner in which they were to meet Captain Jack, I said:"Colonel, do you really believe they will go?"
5337As I rode along Gen. Wheaton dashed up by my side and said:"Where can those Indians be and what kind of guns have they?
5337As I took the gun, I said to him:"Jack, where are you going?"
5337Beckoning to the sergeant, he dashed up to my side and said:"What''s up, Captain?"
5337But the fame of California Has begun to lose its hue-- When the soul and body is parting What good can money do?
5337Did n''t I tell you, Colonel, that he could shoot Injuns?"
5337Do you know how far it is?"
5337Do you men feel like accompanying him and bringing our mail back on your return?"
5337Do you want to go along?"
5337Drannan, the scout?"
5337Harding and said:"Which do you prefer, to make the upper or lower attack?
5337Harding asked;"Why not all go together?"
5337He dropped his gun and ran to me at once and said:"Captain, are you badly hurt?"
5337He said:"Where in the name of God did you get those horses?"
5337I then spoke to the white girl in Spanish, and said:"My dear girl, why do you hesitate?
5337I told him to be off at once, but before starting, he said to me:"Suppose the Indians should discover you while I am away?"
5337Is it safe for a small party to go in there?"
5337Jackson said to me:"Cap, shall we try them a whirl or not?"
5337Jim said:"If the girl is satisfied with the Injuns, why do n''t you let her alone?
5337Johnnie West, being the first to notice it, said:"Kit, what is the matter with the horses?
5337Louis?"
5337Louis?"
5337O, kind sir, what will I do?"
5337One of the crowd said:"What will we do with our provisions?
5337She said:"I want to know whether it was true that when you visited those Indians they always killed a dog and ate the meat?"
5337That evening after I had gone to bed, Mr. Hughes said:"Kit, what are you going to do with that boy?"
5337The Colonel said let him come in, and just as he entered the door, Col. Elliott said:"Beckwith, where do you suppose this scout got those scalps?"
5337Uncle Kit said:"Boys, how in the world are we to get out of this?
5337What are the balance of you goin''to do?"
5337What are you going to do with him while we are away trapping?"
5337What can I do for you?"
5337What shall I call you?"
5337What you think?"
5337When I rode up to camp and the negro cook saw that head of horns he exclaimed:"Hello, Marstah; what you got dar?
5337When I told the Colonel my intentions, he said:"How in the name of God will you get to San Francisco?
5337When he got to where our horses were he said:"Where are you shot?"
5337Where is it?"
5337While we were eating dinner, Jim said to me:"Do n''t you know them fellers did n''t think you''d ever come back?"
5337Why do you want to stay here and be a slave for those Indians?"
5337how are you?"
5337is that so?"
5337my boy, where are you going so early this morning?"
5337whar you git dem skelps?
9949Here is his dinner pailone says,"let''s look in it"and what did they see but a piece of Indian bread and some butter?
9949As I gazed I thought, can it be possible that this country appears so much rougher, to me, than it used to, and yet be the same?
9949Brave fellows, where were they?
9949But where were the twelve Americans?
9949Could it be possible that they would never return, that they would never meet any more?
9949Could it be the voice of a wild animal?
9949Father asked the Indian the way home, he said,"My house, my wigwam, which way my home?"
9949Have you any relatives living in the West?
9949He said,"Who is he?
9949I pointed over the river toward Detroit, and asked him, saying,"What place is that yonder?"
9949Is it any wonder that I claim some companionship to trees, since I passed so many years of my youth among them?
9949O, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
9949Then he would pour out a glass, hand it to the neighbor, who would usually say,"What is it?"
9949Then they pointed toward Mr. Pardee''s and said,"Neighbor got whisky?"
9949What does he know?"
9949What must have been their feelings, as the noble ship disappeared?
9949What on earth could it be?
9949that came on her with us?
9949what in the world are you doing with the metheglin barrel?"
31837''Tween you an''me, what made ye forgit''em?
31837''Tween you an''me, you ai n''t hurt nun, be you?
31837''Tween you and me, Doctor, was you acquainted with Miss Sherman?
31837''Tween you and me, do n''t you know me, Recta?
31837''Tween you and me, what has happened to the darling?
31837''Tween you and me, what made you think he was?
31837''Tween you and me, what''s the matter?
31837''Tween you and me,said daddy, coming between them,"I''d like to know how Prime got that shot?"
31837About what, Fanny?
31837Anything for me?
31837Are n''t they lovely, Recta? 31837 Are you an angel?"
31837Are you hurt, Fanny?
31837Are you hurt, darling?
31837Are you very cold?
31837At meeting_ me_, do you say, sir? 31837 Be you the man they''re looking fur?"
31837Bless my heart, is that Miss Louise?
31837But what next did the man say?
31837But, Daddy, if God tells you to ask for what you want, and you do n''t do it, is that doing the best you can?
31837Ca n''t I persuade you to take a little before we go? 31837 Can you tell how far we are from Chimney Rock, my friend?
31837Darling, darling, you are safe now with me,he whispered, as she unclosed her eyes;"were you hurt by the fall?"
31837Did Miss DeWolf send for me, Daddy?
31837Did we not manage it nicely?
31837Do n''t you know no better than to treat a little motherless thing in that are way?
31837Do n''t you know the Bible tells us to pray, Daddy?
31837Do you really think the example good?
31837Do you think he will live, Doctor?
31837Doctor,said he,"''tween you an''me, was you a going fur tu see the Honey to- day?
31837Doctor,said he,"I must go to mother, can you, I know it will be difficult, but_ can_ you take my place in the company to- morrow?"
31837Du ye? 31837 Even if he sells that which he knows will craze his neighbor''s brain, and cause him to commit the most atrocious crimes?
31837Fanny,said he,"do you know how to write?"
31837From now?
31837Has n''t the doctor come yet?
31837Has no brandy?
31837He ai n''t nowhere''bout here now, is he?
31837Honey,said he,"what du you think on it?"
31837How are we to get out of this place?
31837How are you, Wycoff? 31837 How do you know, Jim?"
31837How long since they were here?
31837How so Daddy?
31837How would you like to take a walk with me?
31837I Bloody Jim,said he;"how you like to be my wife?"
31837I do wonder who is going to hinder me now?
31837I guess,said Sorrel Top with some asperity"you''re not the only one that can tell me about it, is he Fanny?"
31837I saw them hurrying off the freight; O dear, what shall I do with my hair?
31837I say boy, who lives yonder?
31837I''d like to know where you expect to go when you die?
31837Indeed,said Edward, deeply interested,"how did you escape?"
31837Is Miss DeWolf going, Louise?
31837Is Prime at home?
31837Is it possible? 31837 Is there any further danger to be apprehended?"
31837It is early yet,he said,"and your head is so much better in the open air, would you not like to drive out of the city again for half an hour?"
31837It is very pretty; may I try to make music?
31837Laws, how can I leave them are taters, mammy?
31837Laws,said he, precipitately dropping his bundles in the middle of the floor, and rushing up to Edward,"how came the little creature here?"
31837Let me see; have I made a mistake?
31837May I not be allowed to see him a moment?
31837Mr. Sherman,said he, in an unusually strong voice,"do you see what is in that cup?"
31837Nonsense, brother, do you think me a goose? 31837 Not a bit, are you quite sure?
31837Now Miss DeWolf,said she, turning to Little Wolf, as her mother left the room,"how do you think I look?"
31837Now in the name of wonder, what does all this mean?
31837Now where shall we go, Fanny?
31837Now, do you think they look stiff?
31837Now, how do you like that?
31837Now, really, Mrs. Hawley--"Mr. Glutter,said she, interrupting him,"have you forgotten your conduct to me the last time we met?"
31837Now, who is Fanny Green?
31837O Honey,he broke forth,"what makes you so sick?
31837O Ned, what have you been drinking? 31837 O Wolf, Wolf, he shouted, pounding upon the door,"the boat, the boat, she''ll leave"--"When will she leave?"
31837O they do look lovely,said Louise, glancing at herself, admiringly in the mirror, why could not I fix them so?"
31837O, daddy, what is it?
31837O, he said,''what name?'' 31837 O, honey, did you tell daddy?"
31837O, is that_ all_?
31837O, lamb, O, honey, O, pet, is it you?
31837O, mammy, where is Sorrel Top?
31837O, murder, what''s that?
31837O, my Lord, did you? 31837 O, well, you wo n''t feed the chickens''till I come, will you, Daddy?
31837Pray about it? 31837 Recta is single yet, I saw her just before we left; but why did''nt you marry her?"
31837See here, Fanny,said he pausing again,"you spell dear, d- e- r- e, do n''t you?"
31837Shall I write it for you Daddy?
31837Then your eyes were opened, and you saw the handwriting on the wall, did you? 31837 Then, you are really engaged to Miss De Wolf, Ned?"
31837Then,said Little Wolf, despairingly,"I can not persuade you to pledge yourself to total abstinence?"
31837There, now we are_ certain_, ai n''t we, Miss DeWolf? 31837 Undoubtedly it has been so declared,"said the Dr.,"but I would be sorry to believe the opinion correct; would not you, Edward?"
31837We had a fine time Lou, did we not?
31837Well why do n''t the Lord provide a way to get us away from here?
31837Well why not?
31837Well, Daddy, what happened next?
31837Well, Doctor, what is more harmless than beer? 31837 Well, Fanny,"said he coaxingly,"come here and make a D for me; wo n''t you?
31837Well, Mrs. Peters, have you decided to accept my offer?
31837Well, but who are you,persisted Little Wolf,"that you are able to give me all this information, and yet can not give me any aid?"
31837Well, can you inform me where Dr. DeWolf lives?
31837Well, daddy, can not you get him some way?
31837Well, what is the worst of it?
31837Well, why did n''t you marry Miss Lippincott?
31837Well, wo n''t he assist you?
31837What Miss Sherman?
31837What are you doing out here this time of night, my little fellow?
31837What can I do for you?
31837What can prevent it mother? 31837 What can we do for poor Edward?"
31837What did he say, daughter?
31837What do you know about love, Miss DeWolf?
31837What document do you wish me to draw up? 31837 What does this mean?"
31837What good be you a doing, you, hussy?
31837What is it?
31837What is your name? 31837 What was her name?"
31837What will you do?
31837What would have become of me if you had been killed?
31837What''s a bad sign, Recta?
31837What, Ned, allow me to fight my way alone, through a band of desperadoes?
31837What, not coffee, mother?
31837When did it happen?
31837Where am I?
31837Where is Fanny?
31837Where is Miss De Wolf?
31837Who''s looking fur?
31837Who''s there?
31837Why Fanny, do you complain of this lovely day?
31837Why Philip,she exclaimed,"how can I get married and all this work on hand?"
31837Why, Daddy, how would you ask him for bread if you were starving?
31837Why, Edward, what do you mean?
31837Why, Edward, what possesses you?
31837Why, Mr. Glutter, why did n''t you tell me before?
31837Why, Prime,said he, hopping briskly down from his saddle;"twixt you and me, how did you get in this ere fix?"
31837Why, about people''s drinking and selling liquor and those things that you talk about?
31837Why, dear child, what have you been doing to yourself? 31837 Why, do n''t you know, Phillip, when a bird comes into the house it''s a sure sign of death in the family?
31837Why, what has got into the man? 31837 Why, you, old fool, why do n''t you do something?"
31837Would you love him?
31837Yes?
31837You ai n''t told us no news,said Sorrel Top,"has he Miss Hawley?"
31837You will, will you?
31837Young man,he thundered,"beer harmless?
31837Your what done, Philip?
31837''Can bitter drops ever mingle there?''
31837''Can the honey become wormword and gall, and every joy be forgotten?
31837''Society demands the social glass and we yield to its demands, and why?
31837''Tween you and me, them things is kinder strange, now ai nt they, Doctor?"
31837''Tween you and me, what should I be afraid of, I would like to know?"
31837''What shall we do?''
31837Among the last named was Dr. DeWolf, who staggered to the parlor, and boisterously demanded,"What''s all this fuss about?"
31837At a movement of the slight little figure Daddy was reassured, and he bent over her in tender solicitude,"O Honey, O Pet, be you sick?
31837At the appointed time he was awakened by Fanny, and rubbing open his eyes, he asked,"Is the Honey up yet?"
31837At the first onset the brush stuck fast;"Dear me what ails it?"
31837Bound for the brewery this fine day?"
31837But he heard the despairing shriek of a feller traveller as he plunged in; and for a moment he tremblingly questions, what is there?
31837But what beauty, what sweetness, what love is potent when opposed to a depraved appetite?
31837But why anticipate?
31837But, how do you know the lady is lovely?"
31837Can it be that anything has been said this evening to wound your feelings?"
31837Can the little speck that I thought I saw this morning on the horizon become a great cloud and overshadow us all?''
31837Could not Mr. Sherman go for you?
31837Daddy elevated his eyebrows, and hitching up very close to his companion, whispered,"''Tween you an''me, did n''t you know he drunk nothin?"
31837Did she forgive him?
31837Do n''t the Bible say that every tub shall stand on its own bottom?
31837Do n''t you believe me?"
31837Do n''t you think so, Edward?"
31837Do you know, mamma?"
31837Do you think it would have been wicked to have caught him, Daddy?"
31837Glutter?"
31837Glutter?"
31837Hanford?"
31837Hank was not naturally superstitious, and, obeying his first impulse, he shouted out,"Who in the d----l are you?"
31837Having thus marked his progress to the end, he enquired,"Now, Doctor, what says my little sister?"
31837He do n''t drink hard, does he, Philip?"
31837He has seen the precipice and the black gulfs with open jaws jest afore him?
31837Hev we a right to stand by silent and see these things did?
31837How long do you propose to make me wait for it?"
31837I guess I had better stable him now; had n''t I?
31837I know your opinion, Sherman, but in the name of humanity, what are we to do?"
31837I say, shall this big proud nation be made fur tu totter and tu reel like a helpless baby a learnin fur tu walk?
31837I sha n''t tech the chicken feed''til she comes;''tween you and me, had n''t we better write to the Honey?"
31837I shall nurse you up and you''ll get well and marry, what''s her name?"
31837I want to feed the speckled hen and the little yellow chicks; please Daddy do n''t forget me, will you?"
31837I will tell you all about it, Daddy, shall I?
31837Is not my pledged word to love, cherish and protect you not enough, you little infidel?"
31837Is she handsome yit, Doctor?"
31837Is the love hurt?"
31837Is there not a curse which the liquor seller can not escape?"
31837Judge Hastings is a man who, I make no doubt, has drank moderately all his life; and who among us is more vigorous in mind and body?
31837Left alone with Daddy, Fanny ventured to say softly,"Daddy have you ever prayed about it?"
31837Little Wolf caught at the words,"that is just what you are doing,"she said,"and why may not I?
31837Little Wolf no sooner saw than she ran up to him,"What''s the matter Daddy?"
31837May be you would n''t like to go there, though?"
31837Meanwhile, how thrives Daddy?
31837Ned wo nt stay long away from Recta and broiled chickens, will he, ma?"
31837Now in such cases what becomes of your theory?"
31837Now what do you think?"
31837Now where shall we hide when we see him coming?
31837Now, ca n''t nothin be done fur to keep folks out of that air grapery?
31837Now, what du yer think he did hisself the next day?
31837O, I see how it is; Mr. Sherman was there, was he not?"
31837O, laws, honey, what if Bloody Jim should come?
31837O, my,''tween you and me, what_ shall_ we do?"
31837Recta knows what Ned likes, do n''t she, ma?
31837Scarcely had he seated himself when Mrs. Sherman enquired,"Has Dr. DeWolf''s daughter been found yet, Edward?"
31837Sez I,''Ai n''t you goin''to sell nothin''else?''
31837Sez he,''What''s the harm of a leetle beer?''
31837Shall I tell her of a certain lady who drained Mr. Sherman''s wine bottle on her way to Fairy Knoll?"
31837Shall I tell you?
31837Shall that air many headed sarpent rule us, or shall we rule it?
31837Shall we hev laws that will save our nation from becoming a nation of drunkards, or shall we not?
31837Shall we walk in rags and stagger in fetters with the blood of the innercent on our hands?
31837Shall we, the free born sons of America, consent fur tu be made slaves, and lay among the pots?
31837She appears more thoughtful and womanly: do n''t she brother?"
31837She thought and said aloud,"O, why was I spared to be so wretched?"
31837Sherman?"
31837Sherman?"
31837Some folks say if a man is tu be a drunkard, he''ll be one any how; but if there''s no liquor, I''d like fur to know how he is going fur tu git it?
31837Supposen the honey''s neck had been broken, and the chances was agin her, what money du ye think could pay for her life?
31837Susan Maria put away yer gloves, what kind of a house du ye think that air would be, all topsy turvey and kivered with dirt?
31837The farmer advanced slowly, and recognized Little Wolf with a bow, and reassured Fanny with a cordial"How are you, Fanny?"
31837The first raptures over, we hear Miss Marsden saying,"we will never part with our Little Wolf again, will we, brother?"
31837The performer bent upon her a long searching look, and enquired,"Are you Miss De Wolf?"
31837The sudden opening of a door gave him quite a start, and turning quickly, he saw Daddy, who said good naturedly,"I guess ye''re skeered ai n''t ye?
31837Then agin, ken ye expect yer boys fur tu be tidy when yer own feet are dirty and yer things out of place over the hull house?
31837Tinknor?"
31837Was it the lady he had so frequently seen on Broadway, a few months since?
31837Was she not overjoyed at meeting_ you_?"
31837Was your mother happy?"
31837What do you think, Ned?
31837What has she to thank Hank Glutter for, I should like to know?
31837What say you, friend sober- sides?
31837What should I pray about it fur?
31837When an individual directly, or indirectly aids and abets crime, ought he to escape punishment?"
31837Where do you live?
31837Who told you to lie down there like a dog, for folks to stumble over?"
31837Why not bring your mother and sister with you?
31837Why what does it mean?
31837Without second thought, she related the circumstance, and caught herself making the inquiry,"Did you see it, Ned?"
31837Would he Fanny?"
31837Would not Flora have perished in the deep water, had there been no effort made to save her?
31837Would you, provided it were in your power, prevent my taking a harmless glass of beer in a warm summer day?"
31837You do n''t care, do you?''
31837did you say?"
31837how did you find it out, honey?"
31837she enquired, after a moment''s thought,"ca n''t you get some of the men to help you?"
31837stop; who are you?"
31837that''s it, eh?"
31837what bad thing have you been doing?"
31837what do you expect to do with that outlandish outfit?"
31837you look awful pale?"
9805Billie, you devil,were his first words to me,"been puttin''the mail in the river, be ye?"
9805For how much are your horses mortgaged?
9805Joe,said I,"will you give me an affidavit of these facts, with the statement of Mr. Haynes to the Lieutenant?"
9805Major,said Mr. Lambert,"will you not let Mr. Macauley state the facts to you again, in my presence, regarding this affair?"
9805Now, Joe, do you think you can discharge a man without paying him off?
9805Now,I said,"in what shape is the money?"
9805So I understand, Mr. Hopkins, but will you tell me how many came in before night-- how many empty beds did you have while I lay ill with smallpox?
9805Very true,said Mr. Service,"you have had use of the farm these long years, and would that compensate you for what you have paid out?"
9805Well,Barnum said,"did n''t you take some pretty risky chances when you did this-- are you sure you wo n''t get us into some serious trouble?"
9805What?
9805After climbing down off of the coach, looking around for an escape(?
9805At this, Major Pendelton suddenly woke up,"what''s that, you fellers are talking about?"
9805Barnum approached me, saying,"Been up to some more of your tricks, have you, Billy?"
9805Finally Joe asked me where I"was holding forth and what I was doing?"
9805Finally he said,"Ho, there, ai n''t your name Billy, the boy who used to get along with the Indians so well, cuss your soul?"
9805His next question was,"Do you know, or have you ever heard of Satanta, the great chief of the Kiowas?"
9805I did not know it at that time, but the Indian afterwards asked me how I made it in?
9805I told him I would take it, but I said,"How much do you want me to take?"
9805If it is not water and a lake those buffalo are standing in, what in the name of sense is it?"
9805Mr. Lambert advanced, with a salute, said:"At your service, Major Anthony, what can I do for you?"
9805Mr. Moore rode on with us for an hour or two, then he asked me quite suddenly,"Are n''t you Billy Ryus?"
9805Pretty soon the major came around and picked up the treasured package and quite sternly asked me,"Are you going to take care of this?"
9805The robber took out the ten dollars and held it up, saying,"Is this what you referred to, conductor?"
9805Then, he added,"Did you say he gave his safe keys to the robbers?"
9805one said,"do our eyes really deceive us out here on these infernal plains?
28291[ 5] Who but an Aberdonian could understand that?'' 28291 ''A carriage, Moncrieff? 28291 ''A secret, auntie? 28291 ''Agreed; but why do you mention civility?'' 28291 ''Am I right?'' 28291 ''And an Englishman?'' 28291 ''And did he sail?'' 28291 ''And how did you get rid of them?'' 28291 ''And so, captain, you must stay at Rio a whole week?'' 28291 ''And the harp-- you have him?'' 28291 ''And the signal will be?'' 28291 ''And these are the Sierras?'' 28291 ''And to what qualities do you chiefly attribute your success?'' 28291 ''And what did you do?'' 28291 ''And what sort of a house do you propose?'' 28291 ''And what think you it is doing? 28291 ''And you see that wooden lock or huge doorway?'' 28291 ''And you want them to attack to- night?'' 28291 ''And you were waiting for us?'' 28291 ''And you''ve only just come-- only just this second? 28291 ''And you?'' 28291 ''Are they?'' 28291 ''Are you Duncan M''Rae?'' 28291 ''Are you not afraid of the pampas Indians?'' 28291 ''Are you pleased?'' 28291 ''As a seer?'' 28291 ''Believe ye? 28291 ''But does not the bite of a centipede mean death?'' 28291 ''But the señora believes vot I say?'' 28291 ''But they even attack you at times, I think you gave us to understand?'' 28291 ''But was the water here when you arrived?'' 28291 ''But,_ capataz_,''I said, with a shudder,''did you make no attempt to save your brother chief?'' 28291 ''By the by,''said Archie,''before we go, I want to ask you the question which tramps always put in England:Are the dogs all safe?"''
28291''Can the parrots defend themselves against snakes?''
28291''Can you do without it?''
28291''Can you throw that thing well?''
28291''Could n''t I go across the way myself?''
28291''Did none of you see that?''
28291''Did you think I would always remain a child?''
28291''Do I not?''
28291''Do I understand you to mean that something has happened to delay the voyage?''
28291''Do not the pumas or jaguars attempt to molest the mules or goats?''
28291''Do you call those sandhills?''
28291''Do you know we''ve been looking for you for over an hour?''
28291''Do you still go on journeys to Chili?''
28291''Do you think,''she said,''I can keep a secret?''
28291''Dogs?''
28291''Dugald,''I say,''did I really kill that guanaco?''
28291''Gave you a guinea-- don''t you remember?''
28291''Guns, señor?''
28291''Have I been long ill?''
28291''Have you killed him, Dalston?''
28291''Have you many birds of prey?''
28291''How about the pumas?
28291''How is it done?''
28291''How is the wind?''
28291''How many horsemen did you count?''
28291''I may leave you now, may I not?''
28291''I presume, sir, you''ve been out before?''
28291''I was not referring to their beauty; I meant were they dangerous?''
28291''I''m not joking, I can tell you, Dugald, I''m serious now, and I mean to remain so, and stick to work-- aren''t you, Murdo?''
28291''I''m not sorry I came,''I said;''and, sir,''I added,''as far as you and I are concerned, the feud is at an end?''
28291''If a poor man like myself wants to hide either his game or his private still, what odds is it to a M''Crimman of Coila?''
28291''In wings?''
28291''Indeed, Dugald, and why?''
28291''Is my medicine chest filled?''
28291''Is that Gaelic, Dugald?''
28291''Is the old-- I mean, is she going with you?''
28291''Is the worruld comin''tae an end,_ and the marmalade no made yet_?''
28291''Is the worruld comin''tae an end?''
28291''Is this a cave we are coming to, Moncrieff?
28291''Is this a common occurrence?''
28291''Is this it?''
28291''May I say one word,''she said,''without interrupting the train of your thoughts?''
28291''Murdoch, boy,''he said, taking my hand gently, almost tenderly, in his,''are you strong enough to bear bad news?''
28291''No?''
28291''Nor your slippers, Archie?''
28291''Now, boys, do you care to go home with me?
28291''Now, can I try one or two?''
28291''Off the trigger, sir?''
28291''Or killed, sir?''
28291''Planning more improvements, Moncrieff?''
28291''Play and sing?''
28291''Saw anybody ever the like o''that?''
28291''Shall you live much longer in this beautiful wilderness?''
28291''So this is the cloud that was in your faces, eh?
28291''So_ you_ mean to go, then?
28291''Strathtoul,''I answered,''is our blood feud at an end?''
28291''Tell me, Mr. Townley,''I said,''have I spoken much in my sleep, for I have been dreaming such foolish dreams?''
28291''These are the Sierras; and does n''t the very sight of mountains once again fill your heart with joy?
28291''They reeving Philistines are coming again, are they?
28291''They were good to eat?''
28291''Think of what?''
28291''This is your signature, and you duly attest all this?''
28291''This_ is_ a land of milk and honey, is n''t it?
28291''Was that all?''
28291''Well, will you come, Sandie?''
28291''What are these?''
28291''What are you boys so serious about?''
28291''What do they eat?''
28291''What do you see yonder, Murdo?''
28291''What do you think of all this, mither?''
28291''What else, what else?
28291''What is it you do not think you will ever get over, Arch?''
28291''What is it, then?''
28291''What is it?
28291''What shall I play or sing?''
28291''What was that?''
28291''What was the sight?''
28291''What, mither?''
28291''Where away, old man?''
28291''Where is my sword?''
28291''Where is the foe?''
28291''Where,''she said to a nattily dressed waiter,''will you put my umbrella?''
28291''Who are you?''
28291''Who else would but you, Murdoch M''Crimman, chief of the house of Crimman, chief of the clan?''
28291''Who has done this?''
28291''Whose turn is it to light the fire to- night?''
28291''Why do they frequent this particular part of the wood?''
28291''Why,''he added,''had the old lady not spoken of this before?''
28291''Why?''
28291''Will they come soon, think you?''
28291''Will you play and sing?''
28291''Wo n''t you sit down, ladies?''
28291''Yes?''
28291''You are better now?
28291''You are certain he will come this way, Zambo?''
28291''You did not take the lady below?''
28291''You have had a letter-- he is ill?''
28291''You have your rockets and red- lights for night signals, and your flags for day use?''
28291''You refuse to fight for Charlie?''
28291''You see these, señors?
28291''You see those branches?''
28291''You think the Indians will come to- night?''
28291''You were a shepherd before you came out, then?''
28291''You wo n''t be long?''
28291''You''ll be back to luncheon?''
28291''You''ll doubtless go on shore for a spell?''
28291''_ I_ am-- but there, what need to give myself a name?
28291***** Need I tell of the home- coming of the M''Crimmans of Coila?
28291A M''Rae of Strathtoul?
28291Am I emulous of the honour and glory that, they say, float halo- like round the brow of the author?
28291Among the slain?
28291An interpreter?
28291And are these your two brotheries, and your sister?
28291And has he been digging down here to excavate his own old bones, or have a peep to see that they are safe?''
28291And have n''t we both got hearts-- the M''Crimman heart?
28291And so, youngster, you''ve come to watch?
28291And what could I reply?
28291And ye winna forget to say your prayers, will ye?''
28291And you think you can go without Dugald and me?
28291Archie, Archie, where are you?''
28291Are they not beauties?''
28291Are they not gorgeously painted fans, waved and wafted by fairies, themselves unseen?
28291Are those really butterflies, though-- really and truly?
28291Are you superstitious?''
28291Besides, where are you going to live after your cottage is knocked down and while your mansion is building?
28291But come, will you light a cigarette and stroll round with me?''
28291But could the dog be deceived?
28291But for what?
28291But had I not better ride away at once?''
28291But how could a penniless laddie work his way abroad?
28291But the silk striped socks?
28291But then, Solomon or not Solomon, how am I to know which sting and which do n''t?''
28291But was it a little cheer?
28291But was there no heir of direct descent?
28291But where had the Indians gone?
28291But where had the bold Bombazo been during the conflict?
28291But wo n''t we grow out of that?
28291Ca''you this a land o''milk and honey?
28291Can you guess_ my_ secret, reader mine?
28291Can you lasso him without hurting auntie?''
28291Captain Rodrigo de Bombazo hide himself?
28291Could an oath forced upon any one be binding in the sight of Heaven?
28291Could those have been Bombazo''s boots?
28291De aged señora not have seen much of de world?''
28291Did he not always speak the truth?
28291Did he not own a flock of nearly six hundred-- one shepherd''s work-- that fed quietly on the heath- clad braes of Coila?
28291Did she interpret either aright, I wonder?
28291Do I find you really at work?''
28291Do n''t you think so?''
28291Do they kill you?
28291Do you know that bird is a mile above us?''
28291Do you like it, Donald?
28291Do you see that speck against the cloud yonder, no bigger in appearance than the lark that sings above the cornfields in England?
28291Do you think I could leave this beautiful country entirely, without spending at least a few more years in it?
28291Do you think now that it really was a flesh- and- blood Indian we saw here; or was it the ghost of some murdered priest?
28291Does it surprise any one to know that even a Highland chieftain, descended from a long line of warriors, could handle a hoe as deftly as a claymore?
28291Does not the very name sound musical?
28291Dugald-- is-- father-- dead?''
28291Good- byes had been said, why should we rehearse again all the agony of parting?
28291Had I really kicked the shins of Bombazo?
28291Had our bold troops beaten them back?
28291Had the earth swallowed him up?
28291Had they seen any Indians about?
28291Had we not everything that the heart of young men could desire?
28291Had we run on shore?
28291Has the reader ever heard of such a thing?
28291Have I introduced myself sufficiently?''
28291Have I missed?
28291Have I the desire to awake and find myself famous?
28291Have a rub, Dugald?''
28291Have you nothing better?''
28291Have you your rifle?''
28291Have_ I_ fired that shot that causes the savage to reel and fall?
28291He did not dare to repeat his first question, but he put another,"Have you any charge to make against me about_ anything_?"
28291How are you going to begin?''
28291How could I have written and told them of his fearful end?
28291How could you see it in the dark?''
28291How d''ye do, miss?''
28291How long would he be?
28291How would he receive us?
28291I almost shuddered as I said to myself,''What if there be lights glimmering from the frameless windows of the ruined chapel?
28291I am out on the moonlit lawn now, and what do I see?
28291I grant he may have been the first who ever did so from choice, but was he demeaned thereby?
28291I reply,''what is an hour, one wee hour, in a place like this?''
28291I wonder, though, if Paradise itself was a bit more lovely than the gardens we catch glimpses of as we drive along?
28291Is it I who lift poor Flora and lay her in the shade of a mimosa- tree?
28291Is it of any account?''
28291Is it really_ I_ myself who rush up to meet him?
28291Is it thunder?
28291Is not their bite highly dangerous?''
28291Is there some sorrow in your heart, mother, or do I only imagine it?''
28291It rains still; what of that?
28291It was a dead man''s ring; would it bring him ill- luck?
28291It was in reality, or appeared to be, a race for life; but should we win?
28291It was said she had met her death by premeditated violence; but who could have slain the poor old crone, and for what reason?
28291It_ is_ a silver land, is n''t it?
28291Just a sort of return match, you see?''
28291Mac?''
28291May I ask on what terms?''
28291Need I say his name was Duncan M''Rae?
28291Now, will I tell you how I got on in the world?
28291Of the bonfires that blazed that night on every hill, and cast their lurid light across the darkling lake?
28291Of the cheering strains of music that re- echoed from every rock?
28291Of the clansmen who met us in the glen and marched along with us?
28291Of the flags that fluttered over and around our Castle Coila?
28291Only before lying down that night--''I say, Archie,''said Dugald,''why did n''t we think of it?''
28291Only, whenever I need your assistance or friendship to aid me, I may ask for it, may I not?''
28291Or of the tears my mother shed when, looking round the tartan drawing- room, the cosiest in all the castle, she thought of father, dead and gone?
28291Oriental did I say?
28291Should I ever see them alive again?
28291Steward, what is the number of this chair?''
28291Surely that is proof positive that we were very happy, for is it not common for boys to wish they were men?
28291Sword and revolver in hand, in the foremost ranks, and wherever the battle raged the fiercest?
28291Taken prisoner?
28291The fairies_ must_ have hung those flowers there?
28291The same thought must have struck each of us, at the same moment-- Why not make this glen our_ habitat_ for a time?
28291The second evening his remark was,''Why_ ca n''t_ I go?''
28291WAS I RIGHT?
28291Was he dead, or were these green sand dunes fairy hillocks, and my brother enchanted?
28291Well, I am not only a noble, but a king; why should not I also have an anthropoid as a butler and valet?''
28291Well, what are you going to do?
28291What better place than the floor of the ruined church?
28291What could it matter to Mawsie?
28291What could it mean?
28291What did that matter?
28291What do they bring you in?
28291What do you think, Murdoch?''
28291What had they seen?
28291What is it?
28291What is that long row of columns and that high, green, vaulted roof, through which hardly a ray of sunshine can struggle?
28291What should I be?
28291What should I do?
28291What think you, young sir?''
28291What was that?
28291What was that?''
28291What was to be done to avert so great a catastrophe?
28291What would I have been without you?''
28291What would you do?''
28291What''s the matter?''
28291When''ll ever we reach the Land o''Promise?
28291Where are you?
28291Where are you?''
28291Where would any of us land if the one did n''t help the other?
28291Whither should I ride now-- backwards or forwards?
28291Who could have credited the brawny Scot with so much refinement of taste?
28291Who else?
28291Who should now be heir?
28291Who volunteers?''
28291Why did not Dugald meet us?
28291Why did we not even hear the sound of his gun, for the Gaucho told us we were close to the laguna?
28291Why does n''t the tiger spring and have it over?
28291Why does not the Government protect its settlers?''
28291Why should I cause them the slightest alarm, and speak a word that might tend to make them sleep less soundly?
28291Why should I, Murdoch M''Crimman of Coila, be condemned for a period of indefinite length to the drudgery of the desk''s dull wood?
28291Why stay in Scotland when wealth like this was to be had for the gathering?
28291Why, whom but old Jenny herself?
28291Wo n''t that be jolly?''
28291Would we awaken in the morning and find no trees, no wood, no water, only a green cañon, with cliffs and hills on every side?
28291Yet where could he be?
28291You are calm, and no longer afraid?''
28291You do n''t mean to say, Archie, it was a ghost?''
28291You have been here before?''
28291You hear?''
28291You know the family feud, do n''t you?
28291You see those splendid butterflies?
28291You see?''
28291You understand?''
28291You will not shoot while you live here?
28291You''re not afraid, are you?''
28291You''ve maybe heard o''Foudland, in Aberdeenshire?
28291Young, are we?
28291_ Did_ it bind me?
28291and heard the officer of the watch sing out,''Where away?''
28291building castles in the air?''
28291cried Dugald,''wo n''t you bring the lady?''
28291he answered,''you heard and understood what that half- breed said, then?''
28291he began,''are they very--''''Very beautiful?
28291he gaily led forth-- whom?
28291he replied,''did you ever hear of the proverb that speaks about making mountains of mole- hills?
28291or was the cloud still floating over the_ estancia_, and floating only to burst?
28291or what if old Mawsie''s windows be"in a bleeze"?''
28291pleaded Moncrieff,''will you never be able to behave like a lady?''
28291said Dugald,''and a countryman, too?''
28291the bold Bombazo be afraid-- the hero of a hundred fights, the slayer of lions, the terror of the redskins, the brave hunter of pampas and prairie?
28291what are all your letters of introduction worth?
28291what is the good of dreaming?
28291where on earth are you?
28291who would bother about names of flowers on a day like this?
28291would n''t you like to be at the lochside yonder, gun in hand?''
28291you, auntie?''
48291''Nough?
48291All these of the best, the finest, n''est ce pas?
48291Any jewelry?
48291Any money?
48291Ask whom?
48291But what is his name?
48291Could we signal the stockade?
48291Do n''t wash my face?
48291Do they know he has had the fire- water moved away?
48291Do you know how to spell?
48291Do you mean to tell me that you dressed up in your city wigs and furbelows? 48291 Do you suppose that it will be right for me to keep this knife?"
48291Guilty or not guilty?
48291Hav''n''t you got your knife?
48291How many acres?
48291If we trail alone, do you suppose the Indians will scalp us-- you and me?
48291Is that poetry?
48291Is the defendant ready?
48291May I have it for mine?
48291Out of breath, Doby?
48291Well, then, why did n''t you come this time?
48291What are those long ditches?
48291What became of them?
48291What did they do?
48291What do you mean?
48291What if it gets dangerous?
48291What if the buck chews these trees?
48291What shall I do?
48291When?
48291Who did it?
48291Who has it?
48291Who is this wonderful hunter?
48291Who?
48291Whom have we here, Doby?
48291Why not?
48291Why?
48291Why?
48291Will they believe what he tells them?
48291You fought with the other Long Hunters at New Orleans, did n''t you?
48291You got land, did n''t you?
48291You want to stay with me, do n''t you?
48291Afterward, Doby had asked of his father:"Why did you give Francis Vigo money in such a way that he had to take it?
48291And for whom do more friends rise up than for the persecuted?
48291And you want them to vote for James Monroe for President, do n''t you?"
48291Are you Johnny Appleseed?
48291But what are four miles to a hunter?
48291But where was there not danger?
48291But who could forget the services of these men through that trying time?
48291But why should she be afraid of them?
48291Ca n''t we wait and ask him for it?"
48291Deer?
48291Did he run?
48291Do n''t you know that seedlings can never grow up to be trees and bear fruit if you tear the fence and reach over and bite their heads off?"
48291Doby whispered back,"Has he told them that he took the money and the papers worth money to Fort Wayne?"
48291Doby, close on their heels, heard them ask the same question of each in turn,"Are you going to Cincinnati?"
48291Dog?
48291For two or three hours all he got out of the hole was some scraps of conversation like this:"Any gold?"
48291For what Indian did not know Francis Vigo?
48291Fox?
48291Have you got one?"
48291He asked the boy,"Be ye Obadiah Holman?"
48291How can we thank them more appropriately for the treasures they give us, than by imitating the sincerity of their lives?
48291How could she"give out"words with nothing but moonlight to show her the printed page?
48291How did the Virginia slave happen to be here and not with the wagons?
48291I wonder if they have any partnership rules about bears?
48291If Aaron Burr wished to help free Mexico from the Spanish, why was n''t it right for him to try it?
48291If the safe end of the gun had done this to him, what might not its full cannon force have done to the bear?
48291If this country is so old-- old-- old, why do we call it the new West?"
48291In the wilderness?"
48291Is the State ready?"
48291Next day, the white man, all frowns, says to the Indian,''What d''you mean, making yourself to hum on my ground?
48291Oh, would n''t he?
48291Own one and nine one hundred and seventy- eighth part of the proceeds?
48291Put the money in the bank?
48291Scandalized Doby almost whispered,"Do you mean that he probably has n''t any money except what you gave him?"
48291Starting orchards for settlers?
48291Still, he asked,"How will he know which way to go?"
48291Teaching''em how to make trees grow?"
48291The Indian answered,"How?"
48291The boy looked out on such a curious scene that he asked of himself,"Where am I, Doby?"
48291To give his wife and son a chance to collect their wits, the father queried:"Who were the first white folks to come to this part of the country?
48291Was n''t it lucky there happened to be one over where the Muskingum River comes into the Ohio?
48291Was there any way in which a boy could help her?
48291What are a few scratches and bumps?
48291What are bruises and cuts?
48291What boy could resist such a challenge?
48291What boy has not in fancy joined Daniel Boone when he held in his hand the key to this wondrous portal?
48291What chance had Doby against such skill-- against any grown boy?
48291What difference did it make how many there were of them?
48291What good work had not these uniforms seen?
48291What harm can she do?
48291What if they had failed?
48291What if they should not come down again?
48291What more do you want?"
48291What ought I to do now?"
48291What patriotic duties had not these scouts been in?
48291What was that sound?
48291What were they hunting for?
48291What''s the use of all this talk?"
48291What_ are_ they doing?"
48291When two settlers met, the most important greeting was,"Ketched the agur yit?"
48291Where did you come from?"
48291Who wants copper bracelets?"
48291Why do they call it a''knob,''I wonder?
48291Why not?
48291Why should n''t they man a fleet for him?
48291Why should that note of sadness creep into his sigh?
48291Why was he always so foolish as to set his hopes on the one thing that was beyond reach?
48291Why was he weeping?
48291Why were guns so expensive?
48291Will it save you?"
48291Will this mark save me?
48291[ Illustration: EACH SAVAGE GIBED AT THE BOY''S PAINTED TALISMAN, BUT EACH OBEYED ITS MESSAGE] What was that sound?
48291_ I want my own things!_ Be sensible and sell the fur for money?
48291shouted Doby, not at all surprised to see that his father and the parson had followed him and were now near enough to ask,"What are you up to?"
54331All in one place?
54331Are you all done talking?
54331Can you find the place again?
54331Gentlemen, where do you hail from, and what is your business here?
54331Have you any other knowledge of your forefathers?
54331How did you get it, you had no pick or shovel?
54331How far is it from here?
54331How is she?
54331If we should send such an invitation to you, will you come and be with us? 54331 Is that you, James?"
54331Is there any more?
54331Then you found it in more than one place?
54331Well,said I,"did you not acquit Grouard?"
54331Well,said I,"what harm have I done?
54331Where did they come from?
54331Who is that pounding so early?
54331At last one of the sailors took off his hat, made a bow, and said,"Please sir, can you speak English?"
54331At this statement I inquired,"What makes you think so?"
54331At this the master of ceremonies said,"Why do you not eat?"
54331But how did you get in?"
54331But the next instant the thought came to him, Would you try to beat a watchmaker or a gunsmith at his trade?
54331Did you steal it?"
54331Do you know them and remember when they reached Coloma?
54331Does that suit you?"
54331Dr. Sanderson called out,"What is the matter with you?"
54331Finally Mr. Howe said,"Do you teach the people that baptism is essential to the salvation of man or the soul?"
54331Finally, what morals do the Mormons preach?
54331For a while all were excited, and he was asked a great many questions like the following:"Did you find it on Sutter''s claim along the river?"
54331From whence the society of Mormon missionaries derive the power of forming themselves into a body?
54331He came up and shook hands with me, saying,"Mr. Brown, are you aware that the gen d''armes are in search of you?
54331He hastily gathered his arms full of cobblestones, ran in and piled them on the edge of the bed, and cried out,"Can you fight?
54331He said,"How are you?"
54331He said,"My friend, do you believe in the Bible?"
54331He then stood before us and said,"Who are you, where do you come from, what is your business here, and where are you going?"
54331Here I pause and ask: Who on earth dare to make, of himself, such a promise, under the circumstances and in the name that this promise had been made?
54331How could I prove my innocence to them?
54331I next inquired,"How came they to leave such a good land?"
54331I said,"What does this mean?"
54331If not, where did they come from, since this little island is so remote from all others, and the natives tell me that white men seldom visit them?
54331Is the soil rich?
54331It was hurry to the pumps, and the carpenter was asked,"How is she?"
54331It was in the Tahitian language, and began as follows:"Iarran Iatobo, i te Atua"( James, how do you do in the Lord?)
54331Just as I mounted my horse to start out, my uncle, Captain James Brown, came along and said,"Jimmie, are you going off and leaving your family sick?"
54331Meanwhile we were surrounded by half a dozen gamblers, one of whom said to the thief,"What are you doing down there, Rainbow?"
54331O what shall we do?"
54331On November 14th I was called before the governor''s aide de camp, who said,"I suppose you have heard the decision of the governor and his council?"
54331One said,"How do you know that they are friendly if you have never been among them before?
54331President H. C. Kimball jumped from his seat as quick as a flash, and pointing his finger directly at me, said,"What is that, Brother Jimmie?"
54331Said he:"Who is here?"
54331So you will take charge of them on the''bottom?''"
54331The next question was,"And are you a Mormon Elder?"
54331The next thought that came to my mind was: Have I forfeited those promises?
54331The question was put and unanimously sustained, and the president turned to me and asked,"Brother James, will you go?"
54331The steward, William Spencer, said,"Is n''t it a rather heavy dose?"
54331Then came the inquiry,"If it is our book, how did you get it?
54331Then came the question, what shall we do?
54331Then he came to me and said,"Cap., what will you charge me to swim those cattle, and insure me against loss?"
54331Then one man would turn his back, and the cook or the one who made the division would touch each morsel and say,"Who shall have that?"
54331Then what should we do?
54331These proceedings being over, the chief said:"Who are you, from where do you come, and what is your errand to my country?"
54331They asked,"Where is your trail?"
54331To the doctor''s inquiry,"How do you feel?"
54331Upon receiving this information, the colonel exclaimed,"What can we do?"
54331Was there divine inspiration in this matter, or not?
54331We had friends and relatives in the wilderness, yea, in an untried, desert land, and who knew their condition?
54331Were they a spontaneous growth?
54331What are the chief products?
54331What are the forms of government and the discipline which govern this society?
54331What are they like?
54331What are you doing there?
54331What duty do they require either from foreigners or from native members, not including religious dogmas, with which I shall not interfere?
54331What guarantee do they require before conferring grades and offices on natives?
54331What guarantee of morality and good conduct do they require from members appointed as missionaries for the foreigners?
54331What kind of a climate is it?
54331What kinds of timber grow there?
54331What number of religious services do they hold weekly or monthly?
54331When I saluted them with,"Gentlemen, how are you?"
54331When he returned, we said,"Where are your ducks?"
54331When this decision was reached, father turned to me and said:"Well, Jimmy, what do you think about it?"
54331When we got to within four rods of him he called out,"Do you want anything of me, gentlemen?"
54331When we had shaken hands, he very politely bade me to be seated, and then said pleasantly:"Do you speak English?"
54331Where are the islands?
54331Who are you, where do you come from, where are you going, and what is your business in the Navajo country?"
54331Who shall say that God had not made bare His arm in support of that ever memorable Mormon Battalion?
54331Without any consolation the thought came, What shall I do?
54331south latitude, and, as near as I can find out from French charts, time reckoned from Paris, France, in longitude 140 west?
54331they looked at each other as much as to say,"Shall we return the compliment?"
11683A little tired rabbit with a great mongrel pack in pursuit? 11683 Afraid of me, Bess?"
11683Afraid, Bess? 11683 Alone?"
11683Am I not your cousin?
11683Am I sane, men? 11683 And Craig himself,"he suggested,"where is he?"
11683And at the ranch, I presume? 11683 And he has n''t objected, has n''t done anything at all?"
11683And now he has returned, you say, to sell the ranch, her ranch?
11683And now that you''re no longer afraid of me, how about it now?
11683And that I frightened you back here?
11683And that my uncle will permit it, gives his consent?
11683And the rest of your settlement-- where are they?
11683And then what?
11683And to stay?
11683And to whom, please?
11683And when I did-- come back-- you''d forgive me, How?
11683And why not now? 11683 And why not?"
11683And why, please?
11683And why?
11683And you''ve decided nothing?
11683And you?
11683And your grandfather?
11683And your reason?
11683Answer?
11683Answer?
11683Any news?
11683Are n''t we to be even neighbourly?
11683Are n''t you coming, too, How?
11683Are n''t you hungry, Kid?
11683Are n''t you, too, going to be seated?
11683Are they here?
11683Are you, too, scared at last?
11683Back at the ranch-- with the Indian?
11683But just supposing I should?
11683But still you''re not coming?
11683But who are you?
11683By the way, Bess,he commented,"is n''t it about time to drop sarcasm when you and I are together?
11683By the way, how do you-- your people-- celebrate an event of this kind? 11683 By what right should you be permitted to decide?"
11683Ca n''t you see now? 11683 Celebrate?
11683Changed? 11683 Come where?
11683Despair?
11683Did Bess do this thing?
11683Did I ever tell you, Bess,he asked,"that it was to save Shaggy''s life I brought him here?
11683Did n''t he follow?
11683Did you think,she queried abruptly,"when you expected me to- day that I would come alone?"
11683Do n''t know?
11683Do n''t you love me?
11683Do n''t you people understand yet what this all means, what''s happened?
11683Do n''t you realise yet that sort of thing is useless?
11683Do n''t you wish to be friends, Bess?
11683Do you fancy I''m so dull that I do n''t realise what I''m doing, what you''ve done?
11683Do you fancy you would be here now, that you would n''t have known before this if he objected?
11683Do you like this country, this-- desert?
11683Do you really fancy, cousin by courtesy, that after I''ve lived the last four months I''m still such a child as that? 11683 Do you see that?"
11683Do you think I am a god?
11683Do you wish a compliment, also, Clayton Craig?
11683Eat, now?
11683Fall,smiled the man,"you fall?
11683For-- how long, Bess?
11683Forgive_ him_, Bess?
11683From where?
11683Happiness, Bess?
11683Happiness?
11683Have n''t you ever thought of it?
11683Have n''t you forgiven me yet?
11683Have n''t you said you care for me?
11683Have n''t you wondered why I ever came here; why, having come, I remain?
11683Have you forsaken entirely the customs of your people?
11683Have you got the last spark of manhood left in you, and ask that question of me?
11683He does, does he? 11683 He knows, Bess?"
11683How did you know I was coming to- day?
11683How did_ you_ know I would be at the train to meet you?
11683How should I know what is best in life, I, who have never known life at all?
11683How,of a sudden initiated a voice, withal an embarrassed voice,"will you do me a favour?"
11683I did right, do n''t you think, How?
11683I do n''t, eh? 11683 I have n''t yet asked your name?"
11683I met him last, night, you say?
11683I''m not trying to clear myself; but between you and me, do n''t you think that Pete was merely bluffing, there at the end when you came?
11683If it has n''t occurred to you before, does n''t it seem peculiar, now that you consider it?
11683If you do n''t like it, why do n''t you put a stop to it? 11683 In God''s name, do n''t you understand now?"
11683In Heaven''s name, man, do n''t you ever sleep?
11683Is happiness, after all, the chief end of life, How?
11683Is he at home?
11683Is it possible that you do n''t know, that they do n''t know?
11683Is it to be a wedding journey?
11683Is this your idea of punishment?
11683It would n''t be wrong-- to leave you that way?
11683It''s you, is it, redskin? 11683 Knew them personally, did you?"
11683Know where he is? 11683 Let you go, Bess,"he baited,"let you go now that I''ve just gotten you?"
11683Love me, after what you have done?
11683Married?
11683Most? 11683 Must I tell you in so many words why I refused, why I do n''t dare do anything else but refuse?"
11683Nearer?
11683Never?
11683No?
11683No?
11683Not even of your husband?
11683Not even to be sociable,--the hand was still extended,--"not when I ask you as-- a friend?"
11683Not even to keep another, who is innocent, from suffering?
11683Not if I did anything, if I-- ran away with another man?
11683Not if I requested it?
11683Nothing wrong, is there, Bess?
11683Of the future?
11683Once more I ask why, How?
11683Peculiar?
11683Punished?
11683Return?
11683She had been back, though, back at the ranch, for some time?
11683She returned alone?
11683She, Bess, gave it to him after all that had happened, all that he had done? 11683 She, Bess, had left her husband?"
11683Since you did a foolish thing?
11683Sleepy, kid?
11683Smoke?
11683Sorry, How?
11683Standing by the door, was he?
11683Tell me, Bess girl, is it mere pity, or do you really care?
11683Tell me, How, did you want him to leave?
11683That you-- men here went off and left him and his wife and little girl alone at this time?
11683That''s what you mean to imply, is it?
11683That, in other words, I''ve brought things about as they are deliberately?
11683The Indian word has a meaning, I presume?
11683The settlement has n''t broken up then?
11683There was a reason?
11683They all went, you say?
11683They went to pieces?
11683They''ve-- gone?
11683Was I to blame, Bess?
11683Well, where''s your game?
11683Well, why do n''t you talk?
11683Well,he queried impatiently,"what is it?"
11683Well,he queried,"why do n''t you do something?"
11683What do you think, How?
11683What else do you know?
11683What is it, Bess?
11683What is it?
11683What is it?
11683What shall we do, How? 11683 What the deuce do you mean, O''Reilly?
11683What the hell be you fellers doin''here?
11683What''s on your mind?
11683What''ve you got to say for yourselves? 11683 What?"
11683What?
11683When is it to be, Bess,he asked abruptly,"the final break, I mean?"
11683When was it, this last time?
11683When, if I may ask, is it to be, your marriage, I mean?
11683Where are you going?
11683Where is he?
11683Where''s Craig?
11683While I am here?
11683Who am I? 11683 Who are you, friends?"
11683Who are you, man, and what''s the trouble? 11683 Who mentioned arresting?"
11683Who''ll lend me a horse?
11683Who?
11683Why did you let him go, then?
11683Why do n''t I?
11683Why do n''t I?
11683Why do n''t I?
11683Why do n''t you answer me, then?
11683Why do you ask?
11683Why so?
11683Why then in this instance?
11683Why, How?
11683Why, How?
11683Why, if you''re so anxious for a scrap, do n''t you run for marshal? 11683 Why, is it not to be an Indian wedding?"
11683Why? 11683 Will you not take it back?"
11683Will you promise me this, Bess?
11683Will you promise me?
11683Will your highness have it face north, south, east, or west?
11683Wo n''t it be fine?
11683Wo n''t you be seated? 11683 Wo n''t you let me give it you again, Bess?"
11683Wo n''t you promise me this one thing, Bess?
11683Wo n''t you promise me you''ll let him go?
11683Would you like to hear?
11683Would you really care, you, if I were dead? 11683 Wrong?"
11683Wrong?
11683Yes?
11683You admit then,she smiled,"that if How were here you would n''t have come, that nothing you know of could have made you come?
11683You admit,pressed Craig,"that I''m the only person who can restore the thing you have lost, the thing whose lack is making you unhappy?"
11683You agree with me after all, do n''t you, Bess?
11683You are Sam Rowland?
11683You are going away, you say?
11683You are n''t angry with me, are you?
11683You certainly do n''t intend to vegetate here always?
11683You come here with that story and ask me to let you inside?
11683You do n''t know me even yet, do you, Elizabeth?
11683You do n''t know that the Santees are on the''big trail''? 11683 You do, do you?"
11683You have a dance, or a barbecue or-- or something of that sort, do n''t you? 11683 You have been with my uncle, with Mr. Landor, I mean, long?"
11683You have n''t decided yet to prove the fact for yourself, have you?
11683You knew he was dead, did n''t you?
11683You mean it is this lonely life, this man of another race you have married?
11683You mean know well, doubtless?
11683You mean that you did really and truly care for me, then, Bess? 11683 You mean to tell me Sam Rowland did not go?"
11683You mean you''re not going to come with me to- night?
11683You mean you''ve let him go already, How?
11683You really fancy I will after-- the past?
11683You really wish it, Bess?
11683You really wish to know?
11683You remember what that was, do n''t you?
11683You saw, too?
11683You swear it?
11683You think I did n''t do wrong in leaving as I did?
11683You think circumstances were n''t to blame?
11683You think so, How, honestly?
11683You think so?
11683You think that, really?
11683You want to know, do you?
11683You wanted him to go?
11683You were working, were n''t you?
11683You wo n''t be-- offended or angry, How?
11683You''d take me back, no matter what I''d done, and forgive me?
11683You''ll never tell anyone if I answer?
11683You''re afraid of me, deathly afraid, are n''t you, birdie?
11683You''re never going to be with me again?
11683You''re not sick?
11683You''re sure you do n''t know anything more, baby? 11683 You''ve seen a coursing, have n''t you?"
11683You-- saw them?
11683You?
11683Your father died of it, you say?
11683Your husband you mean?
11683Your nephew, Craig, knows about it, does he?
11683Afraid of what?"
11683Am I not right?"
11683And when there was no answer repeated,"What the hell be you doin'', I say?"
11683And you,"--he was staring the other from head to toe, the distance was short,--"who are you?"
11683Answer me, Bess, have you thought of all this?
11683Are you blind that you ca n''t see?
11683Are you married?"
11683As a doc and a specialist, would you think there was something worth while the matter with him?"
11683Bess he called her, was it not?"
11683Brown?"
11683But why did you marry him?"
11683Can it be possible that you really meant that, that at least to someone it does really matter?"
11683Cared for me myself?"
11683D''ye understand?"
11683Did it never occur to you that there was something peculiar about it all?"
11683Did they hit it off well together?"
11683Did they sell the ranch?"
11683Do n''t you like my selling and putting you out of a job?"
11683Do n''t you trust me enough to tell me now, girlie?"
11683Do you love your husband?
11683Do you mean to tell me you do n''t know where he is gone?"
11683Do you really wish me to answer, Neighbour Craig?"
11683Do you understand?"
11683Does that answer your question?"
11683Have you thought of that?"
11683I ask you again: will you come?"
11683I know I''ve been a most reprehensible offender, but have n''t I been punished enough?"
11683I''ll teach you to live; to live, do you hear?
11683I... You agree with me too, do n''t you, Aunt Mary?"
11683If Jim Burton has sneaked, why do n''t you elect a new marshal?
11683Is he about?"
11683Is it not so?"
11683Is it possible you two do n''t realise things as they are?"
11683Is it to be always, everywhere, so?"
11683Is that the reason?"
11683Is this he?"
11683Is this what you mean?"
11683It was another rancher, surnamed Crosby, hatchet- faced, slow of speech, who spoke,"Ai n''t that question a bit superfluous, pard?
11683It''s to be an Indian wedding, is it not?"
11683May I stay?"
11683May I stay?"
11683Once more, who are you?"
11683Tell me what it is, wo n''t you?"
11683Was it duty that brought you back, or did you really wish to come?
11683We''re too old, and there''s the past--""You still blame me?"
11683Were n''t you ever in a place where anyone died before?"
11683What are you going to do about it?"
11683What are you going to do?"
11683What could be wrong when two people who have so much in common as you and I, who touch at so many places, are just married and alone?
11683What do you most wish to know?"
11683What does it matter?
11683What if another man, his enemy, were the object, the quarry?
11683What is yours?"
11683What the devil are you here for?"
11683What the hell are you doin''here?"
11683What use, after all, was mere physical courage, if one were to bury it in a houseless, treeless waste such as this?
11683What would this patient, tireless, splendid animal do then?
11683What would you think then?"
11683What''re you all doin''here?"
11683Who are you anyway, and what''s the matter?
11683Who is it to be?"
11683Who was it, I''d like to know?"
11683Who''s willing to make the ride back to Sioux Falls?"
11683Who''s with me?
11683Why do n''t you do the trick yourself, dad?"
11683Why do n''t you take the job right now and put Pete out of business?"
11683Why in this single particular and no other?"
11683Will you come?"
11683Will you go?"
11683Will you promise me?"
11683Wo n''t you tell me good- night?"
11683Would n''t it be proper to rest a bit now and entertain your company?"
11683Would that make any difference, How?"
11683Would you forgive him, too?"
11683Would you forgive the other man, too?"
11683You admit this?"
11683You did n''t hear anything until the boy came?"
11683You expect to hear from a Dane when you buy tickets to''Hamlet,''do n''t you?"
11683You mean to tell me this?"
11683You think I do n''t know you?"
11683You''d forgive me, you say, forgive me anything; but how about the other man, the one who had induced me to run away?
11683You''ll forgive me this once again, wo n''t you?"
11683he blazed;"are you plumb daft to stickle for little niceties now?
11683of the massacre along the Minnesota River?"
11683she trembled,"is it to be always like this with you and me?
11683what ought we to do?"
7984''That leaves only twenty- five, do n''t it?'' 7984 ''What are they going to do with us?''
7984''You darned fool,''said Bill, as he saw the effect of his shot;''did you think we was asleep?'' 7984 Do you expect to catch those buffaloes on that Gothic steed?"
7984Does it?
7984Friendly? 7984 Hello, Met,"said one of the party present,"these reatas are mighty stiff-- won''t fit; eh, old feller?"
7984How d''do?
7984Texas?
7984What''s to be done?
7984Where this time?
7984''Do n''t you know, you blame fools, you''ve fell in with experienced hands at the shooting business?''
7984''Hain''t you got no other name?''
7984''Paul Dale,''says he prompt- like, and them big eyes of his''n looked up into mine, as he says''What be yourn?''
7984Booth stood looking on while his comrade''s wounds were being dressed, when the adjutant asked him:"What makes you shrug your shoulder so?"
7984Did n''t I do it in fine style?
7984Got any tobacco?"
7984Hallowell, between his yells at the mules, cried out,"How far are they off now, Booth?"
7984He grasped Hallowell by the arm, directing his attention to them, and said,"What are they?"
7984I wonder where Rube is?
7984Is it a wonder with such profits that men got rich who were engaged in the fur trade?
7984Next the bull rose, and shook himself with an astonished air, as if he would like to know"how that was done?"
7984Num- whit,"--"How do you do?
7984Our money was now a burden greater than we could bear; what was to be done with it?
7984Such was the truth in his case, as we learned afterwards when peace(?)
7984The general ordered his scouts out to learn the cause; could it be Indians?
7984The little fellow jumped off my lap, clapped his hands, forgetting his trouble all at once, child- like, and replied,''I do, Uncle John, can I?''
7984The savages rode up, and one of the party said in very good English,"How d''do?"
7984There were two alternatives before us: should we resolve to die where we were, or attempt to escape in the black hours of the night?
7984Was the comparative superiority of these two classes to be subjected to the mere test of war here?
7984What did the poor devil know about his new allegiance?
7984What do you suppose this is?"
7984While Booth was intently regarding the movements of the savages, Hallowell inquired of him:"They''re Indians, are n''t they, Booth?"
7984Who under the sun are you, anyhow?"
7984Why does a Shos- shone dare to drink above him?"
7984Why does not the doctor return?
7984Would they hold out until the bridge was reached?
7984in response to Booth''s inquiry of"Does it hurt?"
7984look at Rube, will you?''
46799After you found this paper, Captain, you watched to see if any one seemed to be searching for anything, I suppose?
46799All very well,Dick told him,"but where do I come in?"
46799And he wanted us to know that this man was heading into the east first of all; is that what you mean, Dick?
46799And now all we have to do is to get our bearings, and make a fresh start for the river; is n''t it?
46799And that the warning would be for our benefit, you mean? 46799 And then?"
46799And who can blame him?
46799And, after that, all we have to do is to let the swift current carry us along to the sea; eh, Dick?
46799Are you badly hurt?
46799But I got there, did n''t I?
46799But can he be in the pay of that revengeful Frenchman, François Lascelles?
46799But how do you suppose he could have received the message?
46799But suppose it should?
46799But who could be the guilty man in the camp?
46799But why not?
46799But you remember how that false guide deceived us in the desert, and ran away with one of our horses?
46799But, Dick, who could the treacherous rascal be? 46799 But, if we do trip him up,"continued Roger, reflectively,"what do you believe Captain Lewis will do to the wretch?"
46799Can it be game, and they are being tempted to start on a hunt?
46799Can you make it out at all, Dick?
46799Dick, what does all this mean? 46799 Dick,"whispered Roger,"is n''t it nearly time?"
46799Did you ever see anything so mad as he is, Dick?
46799Did you see Captain Lewis make the gesture he explained to us?
46799Do you mean it might turn out to be a trap?
46799Do you mean that French trader, François Lascelles?
46799Do you mean to tell Captain Lewis about the knife- slit along the bottom of our boat?
46799Do you mean you did n''t like the way that Indian acted, and that you meant to stay awake to keep an eye on him?
46799Do you really mean to say, Dick, he would forgive the rascal on that account?
46799Do you think it would be dangerous if you shot your gun off just once, in case we sighted some game? 46799 Do you think the beast can move the stump?"
46799Do you think the chief will keep his word about the horses, Dick?
46799How are we going to get him out of that trap?
46799How did you feel when going through the air?
46799How do you find it?
46799How far are we from camp, do you think, Dick?
46799How far do you mean to go before stopping, Dick?
46799How is the night going, do you know?
46799If he never knows it there can be no harm done, do n''t you see?
46799If that''s all we need, Dick, how would this one over here do for our purposes?
46799If they should come, Dick, what do you suppose would happen to us?
46799If, instead of taking to their heels, the pack turns on us, and starts to fight, what must we do?
46799It can hardly be more than two miles or so away from here, would n''t you say?
46799It is settled that we are to go along with them, of course?
46799It was a trap, you understand, Roger?
46799Meaning that we will learn who the traitor is?
46799Never mind about that now,the one above told him;"but do you know how you are ever going to get up out of that place again?"
46799Of course they''ll tie us up, as Indians always do their prisoners, Dick?
46799Of course you have not been able to place your hand on the guilty party, Captain, have you?
46799Of course you noticed, Dick, that two of the braves stayed behind when we left the river, though they did catch up with us several hours afterwards?
46799Our fathers never showed the white feather when they faced troubles just as bad, and why should we? 46799 Ready?"
46799Shall we keep on now for the camp, and show this message on the bark to Captain Lewis?
46799So, you fell to the bait, did you, boys? 46799 Suppose you try him, and see if he can understand, Dick?"
46799Tell me how, then?
46799That''s good news; and what next, Dick?
46799The bait will be a stock of powder and ball, and perhaps several guns, unless I fail to catch your meaning, sir?
46799The captain assures me the chances are three to one we will come back by this same pass over the mountains, and why not cache the horns somewhere? 46799 Then are we not going to bring about his rescue, even if it does cost us some of our precious powder and shot?"
46799Then we are to try our luck in the midst of the snarling, white- capped water- wolves, are we, Roger?
46799Then you agree with me, Dick, that those two men must be our bitter foes, François Lascelles and Andrew Waller?
46799Then you agree, do you, Dick?
46799Then you agree, do you?
46799Then you believe, do you, Dick, he planned this thing; that perhaps he even entered our camp with such a game in his mind?
46799Then you must be thinking that some animal may come in here, and you mean to block the passage so we will not be taken by surprise; is that it?
46799Think you own the earth do you?
46799Watch him now, Dick; what does he mean by all that curly stuff? 46799 We may run across game on the way back, do n''t you think, Dick?"
46799Well, we have been able to take care of ourselves lots of times before now, Roger, and why not again?
46799Well, what has that to do with me, Dick? 46799 Well, what of it?"
46799What are you doing, Dick?
46799What can it all stand for?
46799What do you believe Captain Lewis will do about it?
46799What do you expect Captain Lewis will do, Dick?
46799What do you think they expect to do with us now?
46799What does all this mean, my boys?
46799What have you been telling them about us?
46799What is it?
46799What of that,asked Dick,"since we expected to spend a good part of the day in paddling up the stream, after shooting the rapids?
46799What shall we do about the boat?
46799What shall we do first?
46799What shall we do next?
46799What, do you think that, after all, some of the trailers among our friends will be able to follow us, and take these Indians by surprise?
46799When we do strike the river, Dick, can we easily tell whether the expedition has passed or not?
46799Where are you, Roger?
46799Who is the next one you have on your list?
46799Why should I not do so, when the first intimation I received that there was a traitor in the camp came through you two boys? 46799 Will that make any difference; or do you think he may be just shamming?"
46799Yes, what is it, Roger?
46799You do n''t believe there''s any danger lurking near by, do you?
46799You mean about escaping from our captors, do n''t you, Dick? 46799 You mean his money has hired some one to play this terrible trick that might have cost us our lives; is that it, Dick?"
46799You mean the fighting Flat Heads may turn on them, sooner or later; is that it, Dick?
46799You mean, Dick, if the captain wishes to see for himself the mark of the treacherous knife blade?
46799Your gun, Dick?
46799And I do n''t think we''ll be bothered any more by Mr. Bear, do you?"
46799And then, besides, do we not know that the summer is already beginning to wane?"
46799Besides, how can we tell whether this brave is an enemy or a friend?"
46799But I wonder, Dick, how he will manage to let them know about the rifles and ammunition in the supply tent?"
46799But what can a Sioux warrior be doing here, in the land of his foes, the Mandans?"
46799CHAPTER X SPRINGING THE TRAP"I WONDER if the plan will work?"
46799CHAPTER XXVIII AT THE FALLS OF THE COLUMBIA"I HOPE you do n''t think I''m discouraged, Dick, because so far no fish has come near my hook?"
46799Can you make it out, Dick?"
46799Did you ever see such a nest of the''varmints,''as Jasper Williams would call them?"
46799Did you miscalculate the danger, or was it something that could not be helped?"
46799Do you know whether the Sioux and the Dacotahs are enemies or not?"
46799Do you think that can stand for a river?"
46799Do you think that is all put on for effect?
46799Does that mean the trader came back again, in spite of the warning Captain Lewis gave him?"
46799He wondered if any harm could have come to Roger, or was the other trying to get to the fallen sheep that had slipped into a crevice among the rocks?
46799Hear him plunging off, will you, Dick?
46799How about giving him a shot, Dick?
46799How do you feel about that now, Roger?"
46799How will we ever be able to find out about it, do you think?"
46799I wonder if any one could have been caught under a tree when it fell?"
46799I wonder whether the Dacotahs whipped, or were overpowered by their foes?
46799It strikes me we ought to know that hat, cleverly imitated here; what do you say about it?"
46799Now, are you ready to do a lot of yelling?"
46799Suppose we try and see if we can make ourselves understood?"
46799Were they then, after all, to be cheated out of the anticipated triumph they had arranged for that night?
46799What do you make that out to be?"
46799What do you say to it, Dick?"
46799What do you say to trying to knock over one or two of those fine fellows?"
46799What do you say, Roger?"
46799What if the fellow had become suspicious, and determined not to allow himself to be attracted by the bait?
46799What makes them act that way, do you know?"
46799Where do I fall short, Dick?"
46799Where have they all gone?
46799Who''d ever believe such a little knock against a rock would have burst the tough skin of our hide boat?"
46799Why do you think these Indians want to make us prisoners?"
46799With plenty of good venison to last them through many days, what need had they to worry?
46799Would one of our Indian friends have played such a mean trick on us, do you think?"
46799Would you believe it?
46799You understand what that means, of course, Roger?"
46799You''ve got your bearings, of course, and know just where we left our mounts?"
46799how could Beaver Tail, so far away from here, know of any danger that hung over our heads?"
46799is that one of those sheep of the mountains up there on that little patch of grass?
46799what is all that noise ahead of us?"
63205''Are you deaf?'' 63205 ''Is it the rose, with its breath of balm?
63205''What?'' 63205 And what did you do then?"
63205Are n''t you glad of it, Guy, you would n''t have liked to have killed him dead, would you?
63205Are there Indians on the Plains?
63205But you are not frightened now, darling?
63205Do n''t you see who I am? 63205 Do you know what steamer he will leave on?"
63205Had n''t you any compass?
63205Has n''t it nearly broken my heart to think of leaving you, Aggie, and Mr. and Mrs. Harwood, and all the rest? 63205 How was it?"
63205How was the baby, when you left?
63205How?
63205I think not,said Guy kindly,"but what could have put such a queer idea as that into your head, Aggie?"
63205I wonder what papa brought so many guns for?
63205Is it cold there? 63205 Is it true,"said one,"that Harwood is going there?"
63205Is that true, sir?
63205Like partridges?
63205Nor with words either,interrupted Aggie,"but who was Guy Fawkes, Gus?"
63205Oh dear, dear, did n''t you die with fright?
63205Oh, did she? 63205 Pretty figures we shall make to- morrow, sha''n''t we?
63205Then she woke from out her slumber, And she said-- within her heart--''Shall I join that happy number? 63205 Watching the moon is all very well?"
63205Well, what do they say?
63205What are we to have such fun at? 63205 What in the world could have startled them so?"
63205What is alkali?
63205What is the matter, John?
63205What is your name?
63205What''s the matter?
63205Whereabouts are they?
63205Who were Lewis and Clarke?
63205Why did n''t you shoot his head right off?
63205Why?
63205''Do n''t you hear that dreadful noise?
63205''What should we do if one should appear?''
63205But did you believe what you used to tell them?"
63205But only look at the moon rising above that snowy peak; is n''t it perfectly lovely?"
63205Do you want her to leave you?"
63205For himself he could provide, but what should he do for his mother?
63205Guy, why do n''t you say thank you?"
63205Has some one sent you here to apply for the place?"
63205Has somebody stepped on his poor''ittle toe?"
63205He told her Mrs. Harwood, and the eldest boy said,"That''s ma''s name, is n''t it, ma?
63205How shall I be able to repay you?"
63205In their joyous song take part?''
63205Is it the gem of the diamond mine?
63205Is it the shell, with its sea- song calm?
63205Is she unkind to you?
63205Jetty Back, where did you light your lamp to- night?"
63205Loring?"
63205Miss Carrie, wo n''t you tell me one?"
63205Mr. Graham uttered an exclamation of delight,"Was there ever such good luck before?"
63205Now, which one are you going with, Guy?"
63205Oh, my dear, dear mother?"
63205Oh, what shall I do?''
63205Or the pearl, that low in the deep doth shine?''
63205Shall I repeat it over to you?"
63205This they understood to mean"who are you?"
63205What are yours about Aggie?"
63205What could he do with her?
63205What do you think the prettiest Miss Amy?
63205What do you want of ma?
63205What is the matter, Guy?"
63205What was he to do when compelled to leave these friends?
63205When do they start?"
63205Where should he leave her, while he went to try his fortune?
63205Will it melt?"
63205Wo n''t that be glorious?"
63205asked George,"that they thought it was salt, and put it into their soup, and were surprised to find that it made it watery-- and nothing more?"
63205cried Aggie, impatiently,"who did she love, Guy?"
63205cried Guy, joyfully, his heart bounding, then falling like lead as he added,"but my mother?"
63205exclaimed Mr. Harwood,"can it be possible that you fired that well- directed shot?"
63205said she,''what is it that I shall do?''
63205she cried,"where have you been?
63205where has she gone to?"
63205who should I have to tell me stories?"
61659Are you hit anywhere else?
61659Did you see any dead ones?
61659How is that?
61659How many have you?
61659Shall I bind these others ending in peace together, and give them to you in remembrance of what I have told you?
61659That is too bad,said I;"did you not put them away?"
61659What are the limits of his power?
61659What is he doing?
61659What is his purpose in coming to this part of the country?
61659What is that he is holding in his hands?
61659What is that? 61659 What is the matter?"
61659What is the matter?
61659What is this?
61659What is this?
61659Where are you going?
61659Where are your buffalo?
61659Where did you come from to- day, John?
61659Where?
61659Where?
61659Who is this mysterious being who talks with God?
61659Why did you not ask me?
61659Why did you not tell us the river was fordable?
61659Why,he asked,"what is the matter?"
61659Why,said I,"are there no provisions in the Fort?"
61659Will we go back?
61659Almost immediately I heard the report of a gun away down the river, and father called to me,"Did you hear that?"
61659Are human passions subject to cycles?
61659Are the spirits friendly?
61659Are these men moodish?
61659Are we immortal till that work is done, as this affects our present being?
61659As we had no gun with us, the question arose, how were we to procure anything for food?
61659B., are you ready now to apologize for, and take back the foul language you, without reason, heaped on me a little while since?"
61659But do you think we could wait until noon?
61659But the question which often puzzled me was,"When were they converted?"
61659But who was to reveal this better something to him?
61659By- and- bye I came across Peter some two miles from there, and the first question was,"Where is my gun?"
61659CHAPTER V. Mr. Woolsey''s ministrations-- An exciting foot- race-- Building operations-- Gardening-- Stolen(?)
61659Can you or any of your people make guns or ammunition?
61659Can you send those strong waters back up on the mountains from whence they came?
61659Can you stop yonder sun from rising in the morning?
61659Do they want our guns and clothes, our blankets and ammunition?
61659Has He a work for us to do?
61659I have injured the Fox,''and without looking back, I said,''What is it?''
61659I said,"Tom, are you ready?"
61659I shouted to him,"Where are you going?"
61659I took occasion to say to her,"Are you not afraid this peace may not last very long?"
61659If not, how were we to cross?
61659Is the hand of the Lord upon them?
61659Is the pound properly located?
61659Is the time propitious?
61659Is this a peace mood?
61659Is this the dip or the arch in the cycle influencing these men even against themselves to seek peace?
61659Later on the old chief returned, and I enquired of Maskepetoon,"Why this unusual ceremony?"
61659My next question was,"What are you looking for?"
61659Never mind, this man was of the true Puritan stock, and his pedigree, is it not written in heaven?
61659Presently I saw an old man, of singular appearance, approaching, and I said to Maskepetoon,"Who is that?"
61659So quickly did he do this that I was startled, and exclaimed,"What do you see back there?"
61659The unknown: Where were the friendly Indians and the buffaloes, and where was food to be found?
61659Then our visitor, having finished his harangue, disappeared as he came, and I said to Joseph, who understood the language,"What did he say?"
61659Then they saw the majestic old man, indifferent to them, engaged in looking into something he held in his hand:"What manner of man is this?"
61659Then why talk so foolishly and thoughtlessly?"
61659There he sat, his eyes bulging out with fear as he cried,"For God''s sake, John, what are you going to do?"
61659What is that you hold in your hand?"
61659What makes you pale?
61659What prevents them now?
61659What signified it to these men that the greatest of civil wars was then raging on the continent beside them?
61659When towards evening I came in on a cart- load of meat, he exclaimed:"What kept you so long?
61659Why continue this any longer?
61659Why not invoke the help you profess to be able to call to your aid?
61659Will success or disaster be the result?
61659Will the medicine work?
61659Will"Who- Brings- Them- In"be wise in his handling of the buffalo?
61659Would we find a boat there or not?
61659You say you can easily wipe out the white men now in this country-- have you thought that they have the guns and the ammunition and the real strength?
17088A bay horse?
17088A colour line, eh?
17088A proposition? 17088 Ah, so?"
17088And if she believes you''re ruined?
17088And if the man''s horses are taken sick?
17088And is she crazy to marry him?
17088And somebody else holding the sack, eh?
17088And the condition?
17088And what are the three bondholders you represent worth?
17088And what''s the penalty if you fail to finish the work in those three months?
17088And you think you''ve taken all precautions?
17088And you''re not working too hard?
17088And your father''s here?
17088Any idea in your mind where those fellows may locate their filings?
17088Any relation to Jack Morris?
17088Are you coming? 17088 Are you in earnest?"
17088Are you jealous?
17088Are you ready, Ruth?
17088Because I grabbed her? 17088 But give me ten minutes of your time before you go, will you, dear?"
17088But what if it sets in to snow? 17088 But what will you do?"
17088But why? 17088 Cancellation?
17088Come with me out of earshot, will you, Lee?
17088Did I seem to be dreaming when you spoke? 17088 Did n''t I speak clearly?"
17088Dip me some water out of that hole while I look at my tires, will you?
17088Do I look as block- headed as that?
17088Do n''t you see that rain coming? 17088 Do n''t you think him a remarkable man?"
17088Do n''t you yourselves wish a drink? 17088 Do you dig up the roots, or cover them, or let them freeze?
17088Do you imagine for a minute we''ll keep the paper?
17088Do you know what I see there in the firelight? 17088 Do you like them thus?"
17088Do you really think you could finish the ditch on time?
17088Do you think I should?
17088Do you think we could do it?
17088Does Ruth suspect that I''ve ceased to love her?
17088Does your going now have to do with your project?
17088Even if she knew I had ceased to love her? 17088 Everything?"
17088Five dollars for a man and his team, is it not so?
17088For farms on which you''re now using it, you mean?
17088For marriage?
17088For the twenty or twenty- five thousand dollars more that will be needed? 17088 Forget?
17088Girlie, you''re not going to throw me down? 17088 Gretzinger back?"
17088Has she recovered from her cold?
17088Have I your permission, Dave?
17088Higginson, is that his name?
17088How about it? 17088 How can I build a canal here if you wo n''t let me go through?"
17088How long have you known this?
17088How long have you worked here?
17088How much do you want?
17088How much water in this right?
17088How much?
17088How''s Imogene?
17088How''s that?
17088How''s your man?
17088I want you to increase the force to double its strength at once, so that the work--"What are you paying a yard for moving dirt?
17088I wonder if I really love him enough, or if I made a little fool of myself this afternoon?
17088I''ll surprise him some day by just walking up to his cot and saying:''Good morning, how''s my patient?'' 17088 If a man falls sick while at work, would he have the services of the doctor?"
17088If-- perhaps father----"Your father? 17088 Imo here?"
17088Imo, are n''t you thirsty? 17088 Is Mike alive yet?"
17088Is he going away?
17088Is it? 17088 Is she away?
17088Is that all?
17088Is the release made out? 17088 Is this money; a hundred dollars?"
17088Lost a horse, or a wife or something, Joe?
17088Luncheon, what do they call dinner that for?
17088Menocal got it, you say?
17088Mind if Carrigan hears what we say? 17088 Must I shut the door in your face to silence you?
17088My poor one- armed man, how is he?
17088Ninety days? 17088 Oh, it''s you, is it?
17088Only a little?
17088Or do you refuse to share this pleasure with me?
17088Or live in other places like it? 17088 See this?
17088Sick?
17088So you''re too busy now, eh?
17088That good- for- nothing Ruth what''s- her- name?
17088That''s all that''s left to do, Lee?
17088Then you do n''t intend to consider bondholders as having a voice in matters?
17088There are girls there, are there not?
17088There wo n''t be room for three of us, will there?
17088To see me?
17088To- morrow-- or the next day?
17088Trying to start a big drunk here?
17088We seem to have fair health, do n''t we, Dave?
17088Well, ai n''t matters just as bad now?
17088Well, are we going to get together on an arrangement?
17088Well, what of it?
17088Well, what? 17088 Well?"
17088Well?
17088Well?
17088Well?
17088Well?
17088Wet anyway, even if warm, eh, Dick?
17088What about Dave himself with all these rough men?
17088What about it?
17088What about supper?
17088What about water if our pipe freezes?
17088What are you thinking of?
17088What became of all those flowers that were in your garden last summer?
17088What do you mean?
17088What do you think he did for me?
17088What does this mean, Charlie? 17088 What good in that?"
17088What happened, Stevenson?
17088What has he done? 17088 What has he done?"
17088What have you been doing to bring you into Winship''s office?
17088What have you besides your outfit? 17088 What if I have?"
17088What if a man''s wife or children fall sick?
17088What is her situation?
17088What is it? 17088 What is it?"
17088What is your price?
17088What makes you think so?
17088What was it I had started to say? 17088 What was it, Miss Graham?"
17088What''s going on?
17088What''s the trouble, Jack?
17088What''s this fellow''s name who bought out Stevenson?
17088What''s wrong with the sheep?
17088What''s wrong, Lee?
17088When do you go to the capital?
17088When you put me first and the canal second, why, who knows what I may think then?
17088When you yet had the bulk of the money?
17088When? 17088 Where did you get that stuff?"
17088Where do you get the authority to decide that my business is a small matter?
17088Where is he?
17088Where is she to- night? 17088 Where is she?
17088Where''s the Recorder?
17088Wherein is the actual situation better?
17088Who is he?
17088Who?
17088Why did he throw it at me in the first place? 17088 Why did n''t you stop work when you received notification from the state engineer of the Land and Water Board''s action?"
17088Why did they let you start if they proposed afterward to hang a sword above your head?
17088Why did you throw it back?
17088Why do n''t your outfit sell instead of trying to buy?
17088Why in the name of all that''s sensible have n''t you gone to your uncle''s? 17088 Why should I?"
17088Why should n''t I be calm? 17088 Why should you lose five dollars a day because of Menocal''s bad feeling for me?
17088Why, what are you doing?
17088Why?
17088Why?
17088Will Ruth marry me at once, do you think?
17088Will your powder hold out?
17088With Mr. Menocal, even?
17088Wo n''t you stop for a moment, Mr. Bryant? 17088 Wo n''t you use this bag of stakes for a seat?
17088Worried?
17088Would it be that if you succeed with your project?
17088Would it be that?
17088Would you revive me a second time if I threatened to faint?
17088Yes, and what are ten days with two feet of snow on the ground and the mercury forty below zero?
17088You mean it, Lee?
17088You mean the work would stop, that you could n''t finish it on time?
17088You surely do n''t really believe what you''ve just stated about his bragging? 17088 You wish to speak with me?"
17088You yet want men and teams for your work, señor?
17088You''ll not let your irrigation project keep you here always?
17088You''re certainly not going into this thing on your own account, are you? 17088 You''re not still anxious concerning me?
17088You''re the man who threw my son''s money back at the ford day before yesterday, are n''t you?
17088You''re the young ladies who are homesteading just south of here, are n''t you?
17088You''ve a spade or shovel, I suppose? 17088 You''ve been well?"
17088You?
17088_ Dios!_ You dare talk that way to me?
17088A Ruth who was a Louise, with all of her lovable qualities and splendid courage and fine nobility of heart?
17088After your promise at the ford we were delighted-- and how many calls have we had from you?
17088Afterward credit six hundred dollars to-- What is your name?"
17088Again facing his visitor, he said,"Do you know that that ranch has no water to speak of?
17088Am I to sit here every day and every night at Sarita Creek until your canal is built?"
17088Am I to take back to New York with me your agreement to this?"
17088And I presume that by this time Menocal knows what you''re doing?"
17088And a new one, that startled and dismayed his soul: Did he love her?
17088And addressing Dave, she asked,"Will you drink another glass of buttermilk if I pour it?"
17088And anyway, is n''t it a matter that concerns only the buyers afterward?
17088And your mother died last winter?
17088Anything new up your sleeve?"
17088Anything yet?"
17088Are they fragrant?"
17088Are you making good progress?"
17088At the end of a week, the end of a fortnight?"
17088Besides trying to shake you down?"
17088Bryant straightened up from sighting through his transit, and asked,"What''s on your mind?
17088But her family?"
17088But what if he then refuses to sell me goods from his store?"
17088But who in the devil would touch them?"
17088CHAPTER XXIII"Will you be so kind as to come here?"
17088Can I be of any service to you?"
17088Can it be done?
17088Can you do it?"
17088Can you start in half an hour?"
17088Charlie''s voice spoke, rather truculently:"I told you I was coming for you, did n''t I?
17088Contract?
17088Dave-- is that your name?
17088Did Louise really help during an operation?"
17088Did he say anything in them about this canal or water right having ceased to exist?
17088Did n''t Stevenson deed the place back?"
17088Did n''t she come?"
17088Did she love him at all?
17088Do n''t you agree with me, David?"
17088Do n''t you see someone has come?
17088Do n''t you think Imo and I ever tire of listening to each other?
17088Do n''t, eh?
17088Do you get that clearly?"
17088Do you hear?"
17088Do you wish the money for it?"
17088Does n''t seem a month has passed since I stayed over night with you?
17088Eastern people?"
17088Even a journalist representing a Denver paper appeared, made photographs, and obtained an interview from Bryant consisting of"Finish it on time?
17088Good?
17088Has Mr. Menocal been troubling you in some new way?"
17088Have n''t you seen?"
17088Have you a ranch somewhere near?"
17088He was watching you, remember?"
17088Hello, does that surprise you?
17088His wife exclaimed in appeal,"Oh, John, if Mr. Bryant really means it, why do n''t you say yes?
17088How are the young ladies on Perro Creek getting along?"
17088How did you get here?
17088How does that sound?"
17088How is yours?"
17088How much for the bonds?
17088How much more is there to do?"
17088How much more will it take?
17088How much will the ranch be worth when water is actually delivered?"
17088How much will you need?"
17088How should he save her-- save her from herself, clear the mist from her eyes, arouse her drowsing soul?
17088How''s Mrs. Stevenson?
17088How''s the exchequer?"
17088I guess a Mexican is supposed to be really white, is n''t he?"
17088I share the feeling of my uncle in Kennard--""You have an uncle there?
17088In fact, had a competent engineer ever gone into the matter?
17088Is n''t it a little inconsiderate of you, Lee, to hold him off at arm''s length, especially when he''s here as representative of the bondholders?
17088Is your throat sore?"
17088It hurts my heart to think of you at this homesteading business--""What else was there for me?"
17088It quite offset the slight touch of obstinacy in her chin-- but, in truth, did the latter require an offset?
17088Let the canal system go smash, and where are these notes?
17088Looks do n''t count, do they, partner?"
17088Maybe you''re wondering why I let you sweat all this time?
17088Menocal?"
17088My shares representing a hundred thousand?
17088Oh, Lord, where is it now?"
17088Oh, why do n''t you say yes?"
17088Once my application for changes has been approved and I have the money to build, what can he do?"
17088Only, Charlie Menocal----""Lee, what''s got into you to- night?
17088Or was it that only now her real self was revealed?
17088Or, after all, is it just unconscious egotism?"
17088Pat glanced at the sun, lighted a cigar, and asked:"Do we start a night shift?"
17088Pretty, do n''t you think?"
17088Savey?
17088Send him over the road?"
17088Shall I stop, or do you wish to hear more?"
17088She listen to me?
17088Should he mention his conviction that Charlie was the instigator of the mischief discussed?
17088So he asked:"Have you had your mail lately?"
17088So smiling broadly he said:"We''ve met before, have n''t we, Menocal?
17088So what else is to be expected when the question is one of race and colour?
17088So you''re letting the ranch slide?"
17088Speak up; how much?"
17088Stevenson?"
17088Still at work?"
17088That''s the lane there, is n''t it?"
17088The latter perhaps was Graham?"
17088The thought you might risk twenty thousand dollars----""Why not?
17088The truth-- well, why not?
17088Then he inquired in a matter- of- fact way:"When will you ride up to camp again?"
17088Then looking past Menocal, she exclaimed,"Who is that?"
17088Then she remarked:"Are n''t you dissipating frightfully to- night, Lee?"
17088Then, as if the subject were dismissed, he asked,"What do you wish to see me about?"
17088Therefore it''s much better that I take this step, much better and much wiser-- don''t you think so?
17088Therefore, would he be justified in risking the money on such a desperate venture?
17088Was it indeed impracticable?
17088Was it that she was capable of loving only selfishly?
17088Well, now, are you feeling better?"
17088Well?"
17088Were there not men who would unhesitatingly take hold of this project now and complete it in the time allotted?
17088Were things drifting to such an issue?
17088What about it?
17088What about my offer?"
17088What about your bondholders?
17088What are you going to do about it?
17088What are you going to do with this boy of his?
17088What d''you know about that, Lee?"
17088What do I care for that if we build the canal?
17088What girl?"
17088What has happened now, Lee?"
17088What if you had to choose between us?"
17088What is it?"
17088What means, what help, what law was there of which he could make use to ward off this deadly assault on it?
17088What shall we do about it?"
17088What''s disturbing your brain,_ hombre_?"
17088What''s your last name?"
17088When Bryant and Louise ascended the veranda, Dave loitering below, the engineer said nonchalantly,"Hello, Charlie, how are tricks?
17088When she understood our marriage would be a hollow ceremony?"
17088Where does this move of yours hit Menocal?"
17088Where the devil had they become acquainted?
17088Which of the two girls on Sarita Creek did he love?
17088Which way were they driving?"
17088Who is putting up the money?
17088Who is that fellow wearing handcuffs?"
17088Who knows?
17088Who knows?"
17088Who y''say you got there?"
17088Who''s hurt?"
17088Who''s that waving yonder toward camp?"
17088Who''s this young fellow you speak of as being at the Perro Creek ranch?
17088Why do n''t you?"
17088Why in the name of heaven could n''t he have a Ruth who was like her?
17088Why pretend lies?
17088Why should n''t a girl have a bit of determination in her make- up?
17088Will they stand for risking what''s not yet spent?
17088Will you share my table?"
17088Will you take her with you, or not?"
17088With Charlie Menocal?"
17088Would n''t it be wise to consult him a little more than you do?
17088Would she at last force upon him that hard choice?
17088Would the cost of bringing water to the land be, after all, prohibitive?
17088You are Mr. Bryant, are n''t you?
17088You have everything, Rymer-- cap, coat, gauntlets?
17088You remain idle-- but does he pay you, or feed you?
17088You will do this for me, wo n''t you, Lee?
17088You''ll be glad if he does n''t come back to bother you again, wo n''t you, Lee dear?"
17088Your coat is scorching-- or is it only that tobacco?"
6808And hast thou forgotten, friend John, the ear of Indian corn which my father begged of thee for me? 6808 And what''s her name?"
6808Do you know how many brothers and sisters you had?
6808Have you any? 6808 Have you never been attacked by the Indians?"
6808How came you to lose your thumb- nail?
6808How,some of our readers will exclaim,"can a woman possess such iron nerves as to dare and do such a deed as this?"
6808Is she killed? 6808 No, Pete,"was the reply,"them''s angels; did n''t you hear''em sing to us a spell ago?"
6808Then go,said she,"and look for him in the American army;"adding,"how dare you disturb a family under the protection of both armies?"
6808Was it Frances?
6808What do you remember?
6808What shall I first save?
6808What''s your talk, stranger?
6808Who be those, Jim, walking round that fire; not women?
6808Would you know your name if you should hear it repeated?
6808And shall the servant be greater than his Master?"
6808And who but woman could best display those qualities?
6808But how could a woman be there in the heart of the mountains in the wintry weather, with only the storm to speak to her?
6808But pray,''said he,''how came you here?''
6808But what God- sent messenger is this coming through the drifts to meet them?
6808But what is that strange light which far to the north gleams on the blackened sky?
6808But what must it be in the rude cabin on the lonely border?
6808But where?
6808Can we doubt that the prayers of these noble patriot women were answered?
6808Did the mother indulge the grief of her spirit, and sit down in despair?
6808How had they existed?
6808How many fevered brows have they cooled, how many gloomy moods have they illumined, how many wavering hearts have they stayed and confirmed?
6808Hugging Frank Cogdell, the greatest reprobate in the army?''
6808If thou hast no light on the subject, wilt thou gather into the stillness and reverently listen to thy own inward revealings?
6808Inquiries were made as to who had been killed, and one, running up, cried,"Where is the woman that gave us the powder?
6808Relief, she said,_ must_ be before them, and not far away; for her sake, would he not try once more?
6808She questions the Canadian,"Who was this La Bonte who you say was such a brave mountaineer?"
6808Should we have ever established our Independence but for the countless brave, kind, and self- sacrificing acts of woman?
6808The annals of colonial history teem with her deeds of love and heroism, and what are those recorded instances to those which had no chronicler?
6808The following colloquy, conducted through the interpreter, ensued:"What was your name when a child?"
6808There was a keg in a house ten or twelve rods from the gate of the fort, and the question arose, who shall attempt to seize this prize?
6808They have youth, hope, health, occupation, and amusement, and when you have added"meat, clothes, and fire,"what more has England''s queen?
6808They were surrounded by the same malarial influences that had made such havoc among their neighbors, and why should they escape?
6808Was it American cavalry or was it a band of Mexican guerrillas that was galloping so fiercely over that arid plain?
6808Was it friend or foe?
6808Was there no escape?
6808Well, all will be over in a moment; but how will my poor mother feel when she learns my awful fate?"
6808What could he mean?
6808What do I hear?"
6808What do you say, old hos?"
6808What does he want with the great old- fashioned rocking chair?
6808When winter came, and the gleaming snow spread its unbroken silence over hill and plain, was it not dreary then?
6808Which is the stronger, who shall say?
6808Whither should they fly?
6808Who can calculate the sum total of such an influence as this?
6808Why, then, should I hold back, and feel so reluctant to enter the path His wisdom points out?
6808Would you linger here when our Master calls us away, to labor somewhere else in His vineyard?
6808and when your presence, your converse and hands can only beguile the few remaining hours of his existence?"
6808but how?"
6808can it be you, Mary?"
6808could that wretched shelter be a home for the hapless mother and her child?
6808he exclaimed,''what are you doing there?
6808whither shall I go?"
28870''Did n''t you say that he was religious?'' 28870 A pretty mixed- up company that would be-- wouldn''t it?
28870Ah, Jones, when did you git back? 28870 Ah, neighbor Allen, is that you?"
28870Ah, why not?
28870Ah,said he,"what are you going to put up there-- a framed house?"
28870Ai n''t any trouble down your way with the Injuns-- is there?
28870And Bub?
28870And are you going with the sojers over among the Injuns where your father and mother is?
28870And are you not afraid to go where there are so many Indians?
28870And did your''brother Smith''give it up like a Christian?
28870And do all these chaps manage to sleep in this little hut?
28870And do you know who''Henry Simonds''may be?
28870And do you know, the shortest route to the settlement in question?
28870And he did n''t charge you anything for giving up what was not his-- did he?
28870And how do_ I_ know who your Tom is?
28870And how far is that?
28870And shall I have to take the toffee- pot and go to the spring, same''s you did?
28870And that he is pleased with those who do good, and angry with those who do wrong?
28870And were you going off without letting me know it, Tom?
28870And were you praying for me?
28870And what,asked Mrs. Jones,"do the settlers think of this?"
28870And when did you think of starting?
28870And when you form your church you''ll choose him first deacon-- won''t you?
28870And where will you keep him to- night?
28870And your husband directed the defence?
28870Are father and mother safe?
28870Been looking up land?
28870But how did the fire commence?
28870But how did they happen to shoot at you?
28870But how did you get along after father was disabled?
28870But how do you think you''ll like living west?
28870But how shall I get over the remainder of the distance?
28870But is Smith a member of a church?
28870But there is a large fire burning on the hearth now; how do you account for that? 28870 But what are we going to do?"
28870But what makes you think the children are in the cabin?
28870But what''s that?
28870But where are Charlie and Bub?
28870But where are the other men?
28870But where is the child?
28870But, Tom,said the mother, taking his hand, and suddenly changing the subject,"why is it that you do n''t get better faster?
28870But, mother, how can I have things different?
28870But,interposed Mrs. Jones,"did n''t you bring some venison to my cabin one day, and did I refuse it, Long Hair?"
28870But,said Tom, choking with joy and wonder,"how shall I pay you?"
28870Ca n''t we go where our folks is now?
28870Can I see him now?
28870Can you tell me, sir, if I can find a conveyance for myself and children to L----, Minnesota?
28870Charley what?
28870Could he come to- day?
28870Could you take a passenger or two?
28870Did any one leave the cabin after the guns were fired?
28870Did he give you_ that_?
28870Did they kill you, daddy?
28870Did you see that Indian?
28870Did you''peak, Charlie?
28870Did_ you_ fire upon them?
28870Different in what respects?
28870Do I understand you to say, Mr. Jones, that professing Christians living about here have done this?
28870Do men have to work?
28870Do you know why I sent for you?
28870Do you reckon on keeping a horse?
28870Do you think it does any good to pray?
28870Do you think it will?
28870Do you think the fire has reached my husband''s claim?
28870Does it thunder?
28870Father came home last night--"Well, that was a pleasant surprise-- was it not?
28870Had n''t we better go back?
28870Have any Indians been seen near here, since?
28870Have they been murdered?
28870Have you any suitable place provided as yet?
28870Have you anything of importance to communicate?
28870How are you, Jones?
28870How could such a child do it?
28870How did it happen?
28870How did it happen?
28870How did it start?
28870How did you contrive to get hurt so, at this season of the year? 28870 How do you like our town plot?"
28870How many belong to this company?
28870How many persons, should you judge from the firing, were in the cabin?
28870How, then, are you goin''to git to yer appintments, an''to visit the sick an''the dyin'', from this pint? 28870 Husband, how soon do you calculate that we can be housekeeping in our own cabin?"
28870Is Dod stronger than dark?
28870Is a feather- bed very nice?
28870Is it possible,asked the captain of Long Hair,--for he had learned to rely much on his sagacity,--"that Bub could escape from the house?"
28870Is n''t Tom coming to breakfast?
28870Is n''t he handsome?
28870Is n''t he here?
28870Is that you, Joseph?
28870Is that young Indian the chief?
28870Is the minister to home?
28870It is n''t anybody else, I reckon,he gruffly answered;"but where shall I put this?"
28870It seemed noble and heroic for him to speak thus; but my heart smote me with foreboding, and I answered,--''But what if you do not succeed?''
28870Long Hair,said the captain, turning abruptly towards him,"how long did you get here before we did?"
28870Looking up a cage to put your bird in?
28870Mother, were you praying just now?
28870O,cried Blue- eye, clapping her hands,"I''m so glad we''ve come west!--aren''t you, mother?"
28870O,exclaimed the child,"how good he is!--isn''t he, mother?
28870Rather discordant music,answered the minister;"but I think we may as well accept your invitation-- don''t you, wife?"
28870Shall you be busy to- day? 28870 Tan''t I have my supper?"
28870The wheat is good-- is it not?
28870Then why, mother, did you come west, and why do we live as we do now?
28870Then you have seen him?
28870Tom,returned she, looking searchingly at him,"how have you thought to make them different?"
28870Was it so_ very_ different east, mother,asked Tom, one day,"where you came from, from what it is here?"
28870Was it, I say, an accident, or was the man assassinated? 28870 Was the red one very large, with very wide- spreading horns?"
28870Was there any perticular direction you wish to go to?
28870Well, my lad,said the general, sedately,"what do you want of me?"
28870Well, well, young man, you_ have_ brought a message-- haven''t you?
28870Well, what is_ your_ name?
28870Well, what luck?
28870Well,said the hunter,"whose name''s writ down as the owner of this land?"
28870Were the men afoot?
28870Were there no poor people there?
28870Were you on the ground when we heard the discharge?
28870Were yours and father''s folks very poor?
28870What are they, Tom?
28870What are we going to do for a stove?
28870What did she mean by that?
28870What did you do that for?
28870What did you fall on me for?
28870What do you suppose is the matter?
28870What do you wish, my son?
28870What does Long Hair mean by that?
28870What makes you think so?
28870What of my father and mother?
28870What shall we do?
28870What sort of cattle were yours?
28870What string for, cap''n?
28870What time was the ox driv by?
28870What under the canopy makes my powder go so fast?
28870What was that?
28870What''s that?
28870What?
28870When will he be back?
28870Where are you from, and where are you bound, my lad?
28870Where can Long Hair be?
28870Where can he be?
28870Where do all these people come from?
28870Where''s father and mother?
28870Who do you think fired the guns, Long Hair?
28870Who knows but he is the murderer of some of our family?
28870Who''s afeard? 28870 Who?"
28870Who?
28870Why is the beautiful spell we have in fall called Indian summer?
28870Why not?
28870Why not?
28870Why not?
28870Why on earth did n''t you say so, then?
28870Why, Long Hair,cried Tom,"why did n''t you let me know that you were sick?"
28870Why, how did you do it, my son?
28870Why, is n''t that quarter section free?
28870Why, mother, you do n''t worry about him-- do you?
28870Why, the Indians have n''t been doing any mischief about here-- have they?
28870Why, what''s the matter?
28870Why, you have n''t been fighting with the Indians-- have you?
28870Will the wicked Indians kill father and mother?
28870Will you be able to hear my recitation this afternoon?
28870Will you not speak to me, Long Hair?
28870Wo n''t Injun kill me?
28870Wo n''t the Indians come and hurt us?
28870Would it burn up the cabin, then?
28870Yes,said Bub;"and I''ll let them hide in our tree; may n''t I, Charlie?"
28870Yes-- what?
28870You did n''t want me to be miserable-- did you, mother?
28870You did? 28870 You do n''t mean to settle down on_ this_--do ye?"
28870You do n''t suppose the woman went home, leaving Bub here alone, and the child has strayed away?
28870You found that eighty- acre lot just as I told ye-- didn''t ye?
28870You know I''ve always treated you well-- have I not?
28870_ Brother_ Smith-- who''s he? 28870 Am I ready to do this-- to be true to duty, if it involves, as it has to her, poverty, seclusion from privileges, toil, suffering, obscurity?
28870And the glowing future for which he had so panted, would it be to him all he had fancied?
28870And was she not a thousand fold more deserving of such an interposition than he?
28870And who would get the wood up for us during the cold winter that is coming?
28870And, later, seeing a cow grazing, she inquired,"Is that a wild cow?"
28870And, riding up to Mrs. Jones, he said,"Madam, can you tell me if there was any fuel in the fireplace when we left?"
28870And, then, how should he get there?
28870Are any of your folks sick?"
28870Are you all dead?"
28870As if by persons that were used to handling the rifle?"
28870Bestowing on her a loving look as she entered, he asked,--"Mary, dear, has the missionary come?"
28870Bub looked on in wonder, scarcely comprehending the meaning of it, saying,--"Did the cellar hurt you, Charlie?"
28870Bub was all attention, and asked, eagerly,"Shall I do it now?"
28870But Tom had finished his meal, and rose to go, when his hostess said,--"You wo n''t think o''travelling in the night-- will yer?"
28870But Tom was at work making an opening in the fence nearest the woods; seeing which, Charley called out,--"What you doing that for, Tom?"
28870But are yer goin''afoot?"
28870But did you want anything perticular of me?"
28870But duzzn''t them books look pooty on them shelves?
28870But how could she get along in this out- of- the- world place?
28870But how did you manage to give it up so bravely?"
28870But how do you go to the river, Monday?"
28870But the water grew nauseating, and if some more could not be obtained, what would they do?
28870But thirst-- how could he expect that a little boy, like Bub, could long endure its torments without making his agony known?
28870But what about this fire?"
28870But what can I do?
28870But what can I do?
28870But what do you want of me?"
28870But what had brought the squatter''s son to such a conclusion?
28870But what is that?"
28870But what makes you look so depressed?
28870But what mattered it to him that his clothes were threadbare, many- hued, and grotesque?
28870But what was he?
28870But what was that?"
28870But where was Tom?
28870But who is the unfortunate victim of this tragical and fatal accident-- or was he murdered in cold blood?"
28870But why did he leave so mysteriously?"
28870But why do you ask?"
28870But you are stopping at Edmunds''s-- aren''t you?
28870Ca n''t you berhave in the minister''s house?"
28870Can I not, in some way, lead these benighted souls to the Lamb of God?
28870Can not I rely on you for a lift?"
28870Can she relinquish the comforts of her eastern home, and share with me, for the Master''s sake, the privations of the wilderness?
28870Did father and mother ever know brighter days?
28870Do all have their longings for something brighter and better than the present brings?
28870Do n''t I inform every soul that asks me for money that he''s a fool, and that I shall hold him to the writing?
28870Do n''t touch the strings till I tell you; and then, when I give the word, you''ll pull-- won''t you?"
28870Do n''t you expect to hev no evenin''meetin''s?
28870Do n''t you love your mother well enough to make her your confidant?
28870Do n''t you think it might do you good to have a little talk with the minister?"
28870Do you realize the honor, eh?"
28870Do you suppose he is trusty?"
28870Do you suppose they are secretly armed?"
28870Had any evil befallen him?
28870Had n''t you better hold nothing back from me?"
28870Has God such a garden where our new home is?"
28870Have you searched the cellar?"
28870He''ll probably get here late this evening; and wo n''t we give him a surprise?"
28870Hers was a simple- hearted faith; but who shall say that she was not accepted and blessed according to the measure of her light?
28870How could the preacher, with his pure tastes and cultivated love of the beautiful, help being delighted with the scene?
28870How did this rough, swearing, covetous dealer ferret out his heart''s secrets?
28870How many men will you need, captain?"
28870How was the firing done, Long Hair?
28870How would you like that?"
28870I called out,''Will some one help my children into the cars?''
28870I suppose we may call this Indian summer-- may we not?"
28870Is it not so?"
28870Is n''t that a glorious thought?"
28870Is n''t that it, Long Hair?"
28870Is the servant more particular than his Lord?
28870Laying the whole matter before him, he asked,--"What do you think of my engaging in this thing?"
28870Lincoln?"
28870Long Hair rose at this, and said,--"White chief send sojer to cabin, right way, bimeby, quick?"
28870May I ask what he charged you for the operation?"
28870Might they not soon need his aid once more?
28870Mother, ca n''t you put down baby, and help us?
28870Mrs. McElroy took out her watch, and said, pleasantly,--"Are you particular about seeing him now?
28870Nice- looking young man he''d be-- wouldn''t he?
28870Now, if you are wrong about the Indians, and about father''s being in danger from them, how can you be sure that your feelings are right about God?"
28870Now,"she added,"you know I told you, husband, I should move into the cabin to- day; and did you ever know me to break my word?"
28870Shall I never find rest?"
28870Should I remain with them, what would my money- loving, place- seeking, eastern friends say?
28870So the mother related how Tom had been hurt, and then said,--"But you have n''t told us how you received your injury?"
28870Somebody''s alive and stirring there; who can it be?"
28870That must have been a great self- denial to you; was it not?"
28870The child''s wondering eyes danced with delight, and she said,--"Mother, is n''t the man who owns this great garden very rich?"
28870The doctor, softened by his distress, asked more gently,--"But has n''t your Tom any other name?"
28870Then turning to Tom, he asked,--"What is your name, young man?"
28870Then, in a moment more, his thoughts relapsing to another subject, he murmured,"What did the preacher say?
28870Then, when he returned to the house, to the accustomed inquiry,"Why, where have you been?
28870Tom was hurrying along, when a lad called out,--"Did the old woman find Bub?"
28870Tom was impressed by his mother''s faith, but soon objected,--"Mother, do you think we can always trust our feelings?
28870Tom, with a bound, hastened to her, and as she folded him in her arms, and tenderly kissed him, he inquired,--"But where is father?"
28870Was Brindle follerin''?"
28870Was he contented with the roving life he led?
28870Was he not a"squatter sovereign,"or the son of one, free in his habits as the Indian that roamed the prairies of his frontier home?
28870Was his prediction fulfilled?
28870Was it in answer to his silent petitions that it had taken place in so timely a manner?
28870Was there"a well in the rock"of this man''s hard heart?
28870Well, old hunter, what do you say to that?"
28870Were you expecting an attack?"
28870What I gits, I gits honest-- don''t I, pet?"
28870What could it mean?
28870What could it mean?
28870What did that firing mean from the cabin, just as we rode up?
28870What does this mean?
28870What is the matter, my son?"
28870What is your opinion of it, Long Hair?"
28870What was he there for?
28870When he had gone, Mr. Jones turned to his wife, and asked,--"Did you_ see_ the men that driv the ox?"
28870When would he return?
28870Where are the fingers that pulled the triggers?
28870Where are you, Charlie?"
28870Where are you?"
28870Where did you get them?"
28870Where was the money coming from to support him while studying?
28870Where''s the mother?"
28870Whereto?"
28870Who has taken them away?"
28870Who knows?
28870Why can I not go to the city to school this winter?"
28870Why can I not seek such advantages, and be somebody, and accomplish something?
28870Why do n''t you come?"
28870Why not be contented to go alone?
28870Why should the mother be kept from the house of God because she may not bring her child with her?
28870Why were they not his?
28870Why, sir, how do you suppose he has managed to get along on the little that the settlers have paid him, unless it has been in answer to prayer?"
28870Will you harass me into my grave?
28870Wo n''t you come down and hear them?"
28870Would he disappoint their hopes?
28870Would he pass safely the dangers his far- seeing mother had sketched?
28870Would he realize her ideal?
28870Would it do to remove him, doctor?"
28870Would the dear ones that survived the fearful outbreak be long safe?
28870Would the general''s children respect her as they should, in order for her to assume such a relation towards them as their mother wished?
28870You are not going to emigrate farther west-- are you?"
28870You believe that there is a God, mother?"
28870You paid him for that, of course?"
28870after his head''s blown off?
28870and did he never realize the deprivations of his wife and children?
28870and were they never to see them again?
28870and what luck?"
28870asked Tom, interrupting her;"what is that?"
28870cried Charley, coming noisily in to see if dinner was most ready,"why did n''t you keep to work, like the rest of us?"
28870cried a neighbor, rushing breathlessly up to Tom, saying,"Is your father at home?
28870exclaimed Tom, greatly startled;"what is the matter?"
28870exclaimed his mother;"what, then, will you be?"
28870exclaimed the old lady;"what on airth you up to, you imp o''Satan?
28870he feebly answered;"what minister?"
28870or that his boots let the deep, rich soil in at sides and toes?
28870she exclaimed,"where''s that child gone to?
28870something for which they must wait and wait, and perchance never attain?
28870the red scamps want to smell powder again-- do they?
28870the slumbering man of herbs prematurely awakened, rubbed his forehead, to be sure he was not dreaming, and stammered,--"Wha- wha- what''s to pay?"
28870why did n''t you catch him, Charley?
46521Did you get pay for it?
46521Have you ever thought of me?
46521Have you heard and understood the talk with the Pimas?
46521How did you come here?
46521How do you propose to prove this, Mr. Jones? 46521 How many of you have loads in your guns?"
46521Then what are travelers to do that wish to stop over here for a few days?
46521Then what are you stopping here for?
46521Then you go back on your own words, do you?
46521Well, what do you want?
46521Well, what is it?
46521Well, you acted according to my instructions, did you not?
46521What about the horse and money?
46521What do you mean?
46521What is your business-- in what capacity have you come?
46521What made them do it?
46521Where are you from?
46521Who says we killed this man''s cow?
46521Whom would you like to go with you? 46521 Why are you not with them?"
46521Why are you so glad to see us?
46521A man asked:"What do you want with him?"
46521About six weeks afterwards I met Brother Reece in Provo and the first words he said to me were:"Well, Brother Jones, what do you think has occurred?"
46521Ai n''t there no way to get good flour?
46521Also many of them are educated and refined, and as for natural intellect, who ever saw an Indian who was a dunce?
46521And yet, how could I believe people to be such monsters of iniquity as the Mormons must have been if these stories were true?
46521Are the titles good?
46521Are the waste places all built up?
46521Are there towns and settlements where business could be opened up?
46521As soon as the Indians saw us they called out"Friends?"
46521As we were going to bed Brother Pratt remarked:"Brother Jones why ca n''t you use rawhide on John,( the horse) or does this case beat you?"
46521At length, after sitting and studying a while, he said:"Suppose the cattle never get onto your land again; how will it be then?"
46521At this he ceased talking, sat down and turned to me saying a little excitedly,"What do think?
46521Can a person settle upon and procure lands in Mexico the same as in the United States?
46521Can a person single- handed do anything in the country you recommend?
46521Can anyone believe such stuff?
46521Can the necessary stock be procured to commence with?
46521Did you say it?"
46521Do any of you know anything about the charge?"
46521Do they never fail of crops?
46521Do you think a man can live there in peace any length of time?
46521Do you think there will be much of a move from this country to Mexico?
46521Does this imply that a falsehood should ever be told?
46521Finally he asked,"What do you think of that Brother Jones?"
46521George started back and in a serious manner asked,"Is this Dan Jones''ghost, or Dan himself?"
46521Have they ceased to be-- have we all found the haven of rest so long looked for?
46521He asked,"How can you say that?
46521He asked,"What are you doing?"
46521He asked,"Where are the troops; where is the command you are guiding?"
46521He had left his wife and family at home and brought here with him a fancy lady(?)
46521He said,"All right, how much will you pay me to go and notify them?"
46521He stepped out but returned in a few minutes, asking,"Whose fine mules are those under the shed?"
46521He then asked,"Are you willing to meet these accusations and answer them?"
46521How about custom duties?
46521How about fruits-- is there much raised there?
46521How about government titles?
46521How about grapes?
46521How about provisions?
46521How are you?"
46521How does that suit you?"
46521How does this report come about?
46521How far is it from the railroad?
46521How is it you have snow when it is so far south?
46521How is that?
46521How is the country you recommend for timber?
46521How is the government?
46521How is the range?
46521How long will this people be annoyed and oppressed by their enemies?
46521How long would it take to go from here with a family and get settled to work?
46521How then could I help believing their stories?
46521Huntington and I were together when the question,"Why does n''t Captain Grant leave all the goods here with some one to watch them, and move on?"
46521I asked how that could possibly be?
46521I asked,"Are you not Apaches?"
46521I asked,"Did they send you to tell me?"
46521I asked,"Who was that shooting?"
46521I hear people are often deceived about titles; how do you know they are good?"
46521I would ask how many of Brigham Young''s enterprises have succeeded?
46521If you kill a Mormon to pay for it, wo n''t some bad Mormon kill another Indian?
46521Is it a good sheep country?
46521Is it a good wheat country?
46521Is the country thickly inhabited?
46521Is the timber in the mountains and canyons, the same as here in Utah?
46521Is there a demand for mechanical labor?
46521Is there plenty, and of what kinds?
46521Jones nor the brethren with him have taken anything, how is it that I have lost so much?"
46521Moore commenced laughing at me, saying,"That''s your friend, is it?"
46521Now what does this hardening of hearts mean?
46521Now why is this?
46521Now why should such an individual harden his heart?
46521Now will we do this, or will our riches hinder us when the time comes?
46521On arriving at a point where they took a conveyance, in a different direction to what the lady expected, she asked:"Where are you going?"
46521One day on handing him the money he said,"Jones, you''re a d--- d fool""Why?"
46521Several Elders were present, and I asked,"What shall I do?
46521So to begin: Can good lands be procured in Mexico?
46521Some may ask,"If these Indians were so destitute, what was there to move?"
46521Some may ask,"What of all this?
46521Some might ask,"Could you believe him?"
46521The Doctor replied,"This is our way to--""Why, are you not going to Europe on a wedding tour?"
46521The Liberals of Mexico believe in religious liberty, please do n''t think they were like Utah Liberals(?).
46521The Mexican asked,"What shall we do?
46521The Mormons have no harlots or bad people among them, and all those stories are lies; why do you speak so about them?"
46521The divinity(?)
46521The poor Indians believed him and gave up the land, when the good friend(?)
46521The question generally was, shall we stop with a dirty Missourian or a stingy Yankee?
46521The question is which are the greater people, Americans or Mexicans?
46521The question may be asked was there any truth or reason in this?
46521The question may be asked, did not President Young and the people know that these were government troops?
46521The question should be, which are the greatest the Mexican or American Indians?
46521The question was: Are the Mormons sincere, and can I be one?
46521The questions are often asked, how long will it be before the power of the wicked is broken?
46521The questions arise, are there no more pioneers?
46521The real and true comparison is, How do the natives of Mexico compare with those of the United States?
46521Then if it is a thickly timbered county with plenty of grass there must be plenty of game?
46521Then there must be considerable rain fall in this timbered country?
46521Then there must be fish in these mountain streams?
46521Then turning to my accusers again,"How does this look?
46521Then when am I ever to see good peace?
46521Then you do not like to depend upon the rains entirely?
46521Then you mean to say the climate is temperate?
46521Then you say all desirable lands must be bought of private owners?
46521Then you think it will be at the sacrifice of worldly wealth and comforts that people will take hold of the work?
46521This friend(?)
46521This was something new to me and I was continually asking myself: How can I be a Mormon?
46521We mounted our mules; Brother Garr, pointing to the bright spot in the heavens, said,"Do you see that hole?
46521We said nothing about the grand(?)
46521Well, now, how can a person be protected in his rights?
46521Well, now, what have you brought him here for?"
46521Well, now, why wo n''t they legislate against our religion in time there just the same as is being done here?
46521What are the facilities for different kind of manufactures or industries?
46521What are the products?
46521What could we do?
46521What do you mean by such talk?
46521What do you think the Old Boss,"( meaning Brigham)"will say?"
46521What has changed your opinion?
46521What motive or cause could there possibly be for the hardening of the heart?
46521What price will have to be paid for these lands?
46521What shall I tell ma?"
46521What would you do to protect your fine stock?
46521When I tell them yes, they will ask,"How do you know?
46521When is the rainy season in that country?
46521Why is this?
46521Will it come?"
46521Will that do?)
46521Will you do it?"
46521Will you fight?"
46521Will you pull sticks with our best man?
46521Would a tannery pay?
46521Would cattle raising pay?
46521Would it not be safer to get land where there is water for irrigation, in case it should be needed?
46521Would it not be very expensive to move into that country?
46521Would you like to do it?"
22231A sidesaddle? 22231 A splendid night, is n''t it?"
22231A stimulant?
22231A what?
22231About ten below, should n''t you say, Pincher?
22231Ai n''t you goin''to stay for the dance, Ed?
22231And a stimulant is all you need?
22231And come and live with me all the time?
22231And that is?
22231And the other reason? 22231 And the purchaser?
22231And this ingenious tumble took place before the racket in the cellar?
22231And what are you going to do with him when you get him there?
22231And what did you lie for?
22231And why not to- night, Monsieur, may I ask?
22231And you do n''t like society?
22231And you knew I was up here?
22231And you think you could have done it with just your two hands and a shovel and a crowbar?
22231And you wish he was dead?
22231And you''ve given up nursing?
22231Any bids for Boa Constrictor?
22231Any on your track?
22231Anything to prevent?
22231Are n''t we friends any more, Harry? 22231 Are you going to stay in Springtown?"
22231Are you hurt?
22231Are you ready?
22231But suppose the owner would rather pay the license?
22231But what made you get mad with such a kind father?
22231Ca n''t see?
22231Can I hev her for my own?
22231Can you draw?
22231Did anybody hurt you?
22231Did he?
22231Did n''t I see it, though?
22231Did n''t you see anything of them?
22231Did she live here with you?
22231Did the fall kill the horse?
22231Did the old cove seem likely to put any money in?
22231Did you bump your head agin something?
22231Did you call?
22231Did you know I had made a fizzle of everything out here?
22231Did you tumble down, Eliza?
22231Did your father ever hit you before?
22231Did your folks like the frame?
22231Dinnis Rumpety? 22231 Disapp''inted?"
22231Disapp''inted?
22231Do for me?
22231Do n''t you get your mail out here any more?
22231Do n''t you like it?
22231Do n''t you like it?
22231Do you feel afraid?
22231Do you know whether a miner named Conrad Christie is in there?
22231Do you like railroad work?
22231Do you love your father?
22231Do you love your father?
22231Do you never feel afraid?
22231Do you often come this way?
22231Do you want very much to go?
22231Do your boys get a living out of the mine?
22231Does your wife go with you?
22231Doin''?
22231Ever meet a hungry wolf, Phil?
22231Ever seen a mining- camp when the stuff''s given out?
22231Fine day, is n''t it?
22231For instance?
22231For such a very decided young lady, is n''t that rather odd?
22231Get for me?
22231Glad to see you, Dorothy?
22231Got through with it?
22231H. O. P."What did you pay?
22231Had he reason to find fault with you?
22231Have a seat, Mister?
22231Have you got some boys up at Lame Gulch?
22231Here''s my shanty; where''s yours?
22231How am I to find my way to the bear?
22231How did you go to work to get that job up in the cañon?
22231How do you do it?
22231How do you do, little girl?
22231How do you spell it? 22231 How do you spell squirrel?"
22231How do you spell squirrel?
22231How long before?
22231How much do you offer?
22231How much money have you got to lose?
22231How much?
22231How old is your baby?
22231How was it?
22231How would you like to have me learn you?
22231How''s your husband?
22231I do n''t suppose, now, you''d be willing to take a ground- rent on the other half of your land if a desirable party should apply? 22231 I never seen a dog yet that was worth that money, did you?"
22231I say, Amy,he cried;"is n''t this a dandy day?"
22231I say, Dolliber, did they say it was fourteen miles to their ranch?
22231I suppose you could hardly have managed that all by yourself?
22231If that''s the case,he said;"would you mind coming back and being introduced to the horses?
22231In England?
22231In time? 22231 In time?"
22231Is n''t it going any higher?
22231Is n''t it like sailing?
22231Is that the latest news you''ve got to give us?
22231Is that your trade?
22231Is there anything I can do to help?
22231Is this your land?
22231Is your name Brian Boru?
22231Kind o''funny; ai n''t it?
22231Know how to drill a hole in a rock?
22231Know the difference between_ joint_ powder and the black stuff?
22231Like it? 22231 Looks kind of pokey, does n''t it?"
22231M. le croupier?
22231May I ask Monsieur why not?
22231More than once?
22231Mr. Rumpety,the judge asked,"have you provided yourself with legal advice?"
22231Mrs. Jenkins,Lem broke in,"do you know Bub Quinn?"
22231My dear, are you going to get married?
22231No; but how did you know it was I?
22231No; what does it look like?
22231No? 22231 Now I suppose we may call ourselves quits?"
22231Of your bear?
22231Ought you not to have a doctor, papa dear?
22231P.S.--You remember my old tabby that I set such store by? 22231 Papa,"she said, as they stood for a moment in the doorway after supper,"do n''t you think it would be good fun to go abroad this autumn?"
22231Papa,she said,"do n''t you know me?
22231Pray come in and take a seat,he said; and then, falling into the prairie speech:"Where are you stopping?"
22231Queer, is n''t it,she reflected, as she had often done before,"that there is n''t any way that I can think of to make my own road take me home?
22231Queer, is n''t it?
22231Say, Eliza,he asked,"would you like to be my little girl?"
22231Say, Mr. Dayton,she queried, as she took the last fold in the wrapping paper;"what''s the best mine to go into?"
22231Say, Rank, would you lend a hand?
22231Say, your honor,he cried, regardless of court etiquette,--"say, your honor, could n''t you lay it on a little heavier?"
22231Seen''em? 22231 Shall I lead your horse for you?"
22231Shot a bear?
22231Six-- thousand-- dollars?
22231Snubbing? 22231 So you''ve got seven sons?"
22231Sold yet?
22231Somethin''in it? 22231 South, was n''t it?"
22231Such as?
22231The best mine? 22231 Then you did not expect me?"
22231Then you really think there''s something in it?
22231Then, s''posing I could get you forty- six cents for your stock, would you take it? 22231 Think I could do it?"
22231Think it''s going to?
22231Think she''s quite seaworthy?
22231Think so?
22231Think you''d better try it, Fetherbee?
22231This is my wife, Mrs. Dayton,said the big man;"and you are?"
22231Us? 22231 Was either of you named for the other?"
22231Was it all your fancy pictured?
22231Was you hit?
22231Waves likely to be as high as they were this morning?
22231Well, how''s everything?
22231Well, s''posing it is; why should I want to sell?
22231Well, there''s an_ I_; see, there?
22231Well?
22231What are you doing with that dog?
22231What can I do for you, papa? 22231 What could he get to- day?"
22231What did you buy?
22231What do you ask for that now?
22231What do you expect?
22231What do you have to pay for a license?
22231What do you mean?
22231What do you mean?
22231What do you use them for?
22231What does he look like?
22231What for?
22231What is that?
22231What is your name?
22231What made you call him Sunbeam?
22231What makes them want it so much?
22231What makes you drag him at the end of that pole?
22231What road''s that?
22231What stimulant? 22231 What threw him?"
22231What was she like?
22231What will you place against that?
22231What would you take for it then?
22231What''s on this afternoon, judge?
22231What''s the matter with lynching?
22231What''s wanted on the cañon road?
22231What''s wrong there?
22231What, at the ranch?
22231When did you decide to come?
22231Where did he hit you last time?
22231Where is he? 22231 Which foot have you hurt?"
22231Whisky?
22231Who got there first?
22231Why do n''t you coax it a little more?
22231Why do n''t you go down that way now?
22231Why do n''t you go up and work your claim yourself?
22231Why not?
22231Why not?
22231Why, you''d have made a pretty good thing in it, and you might like to have your bird in hand, do n''t you know?
22231Why-- why-- what do you mean?
22231Why; is n''t there anybody else about the place?
22231Will they put a license on him?
22231Wonder how he felt next morning?
22231Wonder what the claim was worth?
22231Would n''t ary one on''em hev you?
22231Would you like a daisy?
22231Would you mind telling me why you risked your life for me?
22231You are not modest, I hope?
22231You are prepared, then, to argue your own case?
22231You believe in Lame Gulch, then?
22231You do n''t mean they''ll kill him?
22231You do n''t mind their calling you''Jake Stanwood''s gal''?
22231You do n''t think I am going to like ranching?
22231You gentlemanlike? 22231 You have n''t got any friend who would like you to pass the job over to him?"
22231You mean somebody might like to build on my land?
22231A rent, say, for five years, with the privilege of purchase at the expiration of the term?"
22231A second later the left hand was clutching the rope beside the right, and he had taken a long breath of,--was it relief?
22231Ai n''t that ruther a pity?
22231And the rider?
22231And was that all?
22231And what was it that had gone wrong anyhow?
22231Are n''t you glad to see me?"
22231Are you sure that is all?"
22231As it was, he said:"Well, then, why not let me be your broker?
22231At last he blurted out, in the manner peculiar to him when suffering from embarrassment,"Say, ma''am, why do n''t you come and get warm?"
22231But if there was any one who did not know that Jim was dead, could it be true?
22231But when she lifted the fragments of the glass, saying:"Is n''t it a pity, papa?"
22231Can you make your horse go faster?"
22231Could it be possible?
22231Could she possibly spare it?
22231Did I disturb you?"
22231Did Miss Lovejoy perhaps know of his whereabouts?
22231Did she think they had better send out a search- party?
22231Did they realize that it was poured before the altar of parental devotion?
22231Did you call him David?"
22231Did you see how warmly he was dressed?"
22231Do n''t you s''pose they like to show themselves off?
22231Do n''t you want a swap?"
22231Do you happen to know a man named Conrad Christie?"
22231Do you hear that?"
22231Do you know anything better to put it into?"
22231Do you reckon they''ll come back this way?"
22231Do you suppose that was good enough for old Money- Bags?
22231Do you think they do?
22231Eh, Pincher?"
22231Ever see any work of the kind?"
22231For who could doubt the future growth and prosperity of a prairie town rejoicing in the unique advantage of a watercourse?
22231Had he not perceived from the beginning that she was not fashioned quite after the usual pattern?
22231Had it not been cowardly in her to yield so easily?
22231Had not Bill Sanders said that there were forty millions in it, and had he not seen the mine with his own eyes?
22231Had she been too forward?
22231Had some one lost his way in the night, and had her father taken him in?
22231Have you seen anything of him?
22231He could have got six thousand the next morning, but then, as he reflected, what good would it have done him?
22231He had certainly not gone more than fifty or sixty feet, and they had said something about three hundred feet?
22231He tried to think that he had washed his hands of the whole matter, but,"Mrs. Jim,"he found himself saying;"did you go into mines the other day?"
22231He was wretched and uncomfortable as he had never been before, and if it was not this intruding presence that made him so, what was it?
22231How could he suspect the meaning of a tiny wisp of vapor too slight to cast a visible shadow?
22231How dared-- Heaven?
22231How''s Barnaby doing, by the way?"
22231If Mr. Dayton had made money in mines why should not she and Jim do the same?
22231If that was so, what would it be wuth?
22231Is there nothing I can do, nothing I can get for you?"
22231Marietta''s heart sank; if she sold her stock what was to become of the little house with the two windows in the sitting- room?
22231Might it be a cow, after all?
22231Miss Hunniman-- you remember Miss Hunniman?
22231Must it not be"kind o''damp"with all that swamp land so near by, and the great elm- trees so close about the house?
22231My dear, what are you thinking of?
22231Nevertheless, each one rose with sufficient alacrity in response to the polite inquiry,"Will you assist me with this dance?"
22231Nothing there?
22231Now would the public"catch on"quick enough, or would they take ten days to do what they might as well come to on the spot?
22231Of course he was getting tired of her; what could be more natural?
22231Of course there was light, somewhere, if she could only find it; but who ever found the light, lying on a hard sofa, in pitchy darkness?
22231Oh, what then?
22231Presently he said:"Have you any idea how much your house and land are worth?"
22231She drew nearer, extending both her hands, placed them gently upon his shoulders and said:"Will you please to give me a kiss?"
22231She gave him a sceptical look; was he so entirely sincere, after all?
22231She had no question whatever about the name, for had he not been delivered out of the hands of the Philistines?
22231Should n''t she send somebody over to the ranch?
22231Should she hold on?
22231Should she sell?
22231Supposing Dayton himself had lacked courage at the critical moment; where would his four- in- hand have been to- day?
22231Tarbell?"
22231That would have to be in Heaven, though, would n''t it?
22231Then, as if to escape the subject, was her Uncle Nicholas as rabid a teetotaller as ever?
22231Then, perceiving that she had not been altogether polite:"Are n''t you nearly frozen?"
22231Then, resuming the thread of her discourse:"You do n''t think, now, you''ve got toothpicks enough?
22231Then,--"What''s yours?"
22231This is the view you told me about, is it not?"
22231Was he so changed?
22231Was he the man after all, to terrorize a ruffian?
22231Was it Heaven she was defying?
22231Was it Paradise or Purgatory they had shut themselves out from?
22231Was it the taste or the smell that he craved?
22231Was n''t it bully?
22231Was n''t there anybody to stand treat?"
22231Was not that a horse''s hoofs down below?
22231Was not that a perfectly logical aim, given the circumstances which induced it?
22231Was she homesick after all?
22231Was she like her mother?
22231Was that Joe''s pony galloping across the field?
22231Was the bear merely a part of the phantasmagoria of an enchanted region?
22231Was the dog mad?
22231Was there witchery at work?
22231What could it mean?
22231What did he care for any paltry details by the way?
22231What did he care, any way?
22231What do you mean?"
22231What had it all been about?
22231What if it were only for her sake that he feared?
22231What if she were to run up those stairs, quickly, breathlessly?
22231What is the next step on the program?"
22231What must he have thought of me?"
22231What was that about the wilderness blossoming like the rose?
22231What was that over yonder under the big pine- tree?
22231When I say to you that the sight of that ring upon your finger compromises my honor,--that it is an_ insult_ to me,--you comprehend; is it not so?"
22231Where could the rope be?
22231Where did you get it?"
22231Where do you hail from?"
22231Where were all their perplexities?
22231Whither should he go, where should he find a refuge, since his trusted allies had played him false?
22231Who could tell what hardships he had suffered before falling into the brutal hands of the law?
22231Who knows but that the spring instinct of renewal and rejuvenation played a part in her resolve quite independent of the perennial thought of Willie?
22231Why should a bell- like soprano call the name of the old Irish king in this remote wilderness?
22231Why, else, should I have come up at daybreak?"
22231Will there be another?"
22231Will you step outside with me?"
22231Wo n''t you take a drink, Mister?"
22231Would he say something very dreadful in reply, she wondered; something that would haunt her for the rest of her days?
22231Would there be trees over beyond, or lakes, or rivers, or perhaps a green New England meadow?
22231Would you have the courtesy to indicate to me the purchaser?"
22231Yet he was conscious of a strange absence of conviction, as he asked abruptly:"Dorothy, whom are you going to marry?"
22231Yet why should he expect to account for every changing mood in this uniquely charming being?
22231You fell off a horse and lit on your ear?"
22231You seen''em?"
22231You sold out, I hope?"
22231You''ll let us come, wo n''t you?"
22231did you hear the horn, Jim?
22231did you know that those blamed idiots had acquitted him?"
22231he remarked, as the ranchman appeared at the door;"this is a great day for you, ai n''t it?"
22231he said,"is anything the matter?
22231how could you?"
22231what would our folks say to that?"
22231where is he?"
60633A big bear?
60633AY, WHERE WERE THEY?
60633And finding us gone, what then?
60633And suppose you did not; are you the sort of warrior that shoots another in the back?
60633And why not?
60633Are you hurt, my darling Edith?
60633Are you strong enough to stand this hard ride?
60633Ay, where were they?
60633But how are we to find them?
60633But how are we to know such fords?
60633But suppose you and I or my father meet, or you have the chance to harm my mother and little sister, Edith?
60633But what meant your course toward me yesterday? 60633 But what will become of you?"
60633Can it be that I have shaken them off at last?
60633Can it be that you have scented a deep place in front and want to save me from a bath?
60633Can you stand it, father?
60633Do n''t you catch on? 60633 Have you noticed those bucks on the top of the ridge yonder?"
60633How did you find it out?
60633How do you do?
60633How do you feel, father?
60633How far are we from Wounded Knee?
60633How long have they been there?
60633How many do you think are out there now?
60633How was it, Nick?
60633How?
60633I never dreamed of this; can you forgive this dreadful mistake?
60633I wonder what has become of them?
60633I''ll do anything I can, my lad, but what is it?
60633If I only knew where they were, if alive, I would guide this escort from Wounded Knee to their help----What was that?
60633In what way?
60633Is he better and stronger now?
60633Is he not in danger?
60633Is he?
60633It can have but one meaning,muttered Brinton, with a throbbing heart;"someone is in peril: can it be_ they_?"
60633Kindled for what purpose?
60633Must we cross that?
60633No; look at that thin line of smoke; do n''t you see something peculiar?
60633Oh, there is Wolf Ear?
60633Oh, where is he? 60633 That''s what I would like to know; I am worried to death, Nick; ca n''t you help us?"
60633They are on the watch for us, of course; how far away do you judge the trail to be?
60633Thus we meet, Brinton,he said in his low voice;"will you come forward and shake hands?"
60633True; but how can such a thing succeed? 60633 We are enemies"CHAPTER V."What will be their next step?"
60633We ca n''t tell about that; are you stronger?
60633Well, Wolf Ear, I can only say I am sorry that you should have been carried away by this error----"By what right do you call it error?
60633What are they doing?
60633What are you doing here, Nick?
60633What are you saying?
60633What do you propose to do?
60633What does it matter,asked his mother in turn,"so long as we can not see them?
60633What has that to do with this?
60633What is the matter, Hugh?
60633What is the matter?
60633What is the meaning of that?
60633What is this revelation?
60633What made you leave before I got back?
60633What will Brinton think? 60633 What will be their next step?"
60633Where is it?
60633Where were the squaws and children during the fight?
60633Where?
60633Whom do you suppose I saw?
60633Why do you do that, Hugh?
60633Why should I shake hands?
60633Why, Brint, is that you?
60633Will they suspect that we have been this way?
60633You believe in the coming of One to save your people-- why should not we place faith in the coming of our Messiah?
60633You grieve me more than I can express,replied the father;"are you sure you are not mistaken?"
60633You must be mistaken; for, if that were the case, why did he ride out here alone? 60633 Ah me, what will become of father, ill and weak as he is?
60633An expression of scorn passed over the face of the scout as he made answer--"Where was they?
60633Ay, where were they?
60633But how are we to escape them?"
60633But what is the other point you wish me to hold in mind?"
60633But where are the folk?"
60633But where?
60633But who can say how soon he, too, shall not be thus cut down with mother and little Edith?"
60633CHAPTER V."WHAT WILL BE THEIR NEXT STEP?"
60633Can it be possible that he is going to get well after all?"
60633Did n''t he want to see me?
60633Do you see that light away to the south?"
60633How could I forget them so long?"
60633How do you feel now?"
60633I am so sorry; is n''t he with you?"
60633I wonder----"He held his breath a moment, and then only whisper--"I wonder if they have not already visited our home?"
60633If so, the question might well be asked what was meant by this extraordinary behaviour of the red men?
60633Oh, how can I be thankful enough?
60633Then he rode forward and asked--"Was Nick badly hurt?"
60633There''s no question that a big lot of''em was killed, and how was it to be helped?
60633Was it not more likely that he came to learn whether we needed protection?
60633What will Brinton think?"
60633Where are they?
60633Where then was the hope of eluding the hostiles, who were clinging so persistently to his track?
60633Where under heaven can the folk be?
60633Why did n''t he come with you?
60633Why did not Wolf Ear, when he saw he could not reach his pony in time, halt and bring his gun to bear on his fierce pursuer?
60633Why did they not conceal themselves until the fugitives rode directly into their arms?
60633With only a brief comment on what had been told him, he said, starting up--"But, Nick, of what have I been thinking?
60633Wolf Ear fixed his eyes upon the wondering Brinton, who, walking forward and stooping down, asked in a choking voice--"Is all this true, Wolf Ear?"
60633You had to abandon everything?"
60633You have heard of the battle at Wounded Knee Creek, I suppose?"
60633You understand what_ that_ means, of course?"
60633did he hurt you?"
60633she asked;"are you ill?"
60633the brother groaned,"is it too late to save her?"
60633what have I been doing?"
60633what is the meaning of that?"
60633what''s the matter, Jack?"
60633what''s up now?"
60633where are you?"
60633whispered the youth;"is n''t that smoke?"
41662A pier?
41662Ai n''t you the boy who wrote me from New York, an''asked me for a job?
41662And I suppose that it is a gill net?
41662And you ca n''t give me a job?
41662And you would give it?
41662Any drowned people on the beach?
41662Any eggs for me, Marta?
41662Anything happen?
41662Are there deep- water fish?
41662Are whitefish usually found in shallow water?
41662Are you all right?
41662Are you going again, Hans?
41662Are you the manager here?
41662Bad?
41662Can I have their noses, too?
41662Can I? 41662 Can we leave him here?"
41662Can you move?
41662Can you not imagine what a boat the_ Spray II_ will be?
41662Could n''t you of done somethin''?
41662Could you make this net longer if you wished to?
41662Devil Chad?
41662Devil Chad?
41662Did you recognize any of them?
41662Did you see him?
41662Did you see the White Sturgeon?
41662Did you shoot at them?
41662Do many drown?
41662Do n''t you think I have paid off my dinner by this time?
41662Do whitefish eat only worms?
41662Do you have the money to pay for it?
41662Do you have to go to Milwaukee?
41662Do you suspect him?
41662Do you think Hans will get what he wants?
41662Do you think there wo n''t be any more?
41662Do you want to bring the rest of the fish up?
41662Does one see the wise fox when he comes in the night to steal a fat goose? 41662 Does the lake have different currents?"
41662Does''Mister''Chadbourne own this place too?
41662Especially a Dutch woman?
41662Feel strong?
41662Gimme his nose, will ya? 41662 Have we?"
41662Have you not noticed that, like all grandfathers, he is white? 41662 Have you proof of that?"
41662How about a pretty ribbon for that girl of yours?
41662How big is that sturgeon?
41662How could you tell that a current to hold the seine was right here?
41662How did I get here?
41662How do they set such a net?
41662How do you feel?
41662How far are we from land?
41662How far is Three Points?
41662How long have you worked in the tannery?
41662How long will it be?
41662How long you been here, boy?
41662How many should we have?
41662How''d you hurt yourself, Marta?
41662How''d you know that?
41662I suppose, when we are all wealthy from fishing, you will hire a cook for me?
41662I''ve been telling him that he should get a farm, and we can put him up until he gets one, and..."Are you really going fishing?
41662I... Huh? 41662 Is it really that bad?"
41662Is n''t that a lot?
41662Is that the net you mean?
41662Is there any way to set a net so a fisherman may be sure of a good catch?
41662More?
41662Must you be so clumsy?
41662Need any men?
41662None but me and Captain Klaus?
41662Now I ask you,Pieter said plaintively,"is helping a man pick up his own property, his very own property, is that fishing?
41662Pieter, do you want to go out at seven and stay until eleven?
41662Pieter?
41662Ramsay?
41662Should we call in the constable?
41662Should you be out of bed?
41662Some, eh? 41662 Suppose the constable does n''t care to come along?"
41662Suppose they come?
41662That is all you need?
41662The best of what?
41662The sturgeon?
41662Then the lake bottom varies?
41662Then what?
41662Then why not take action?
41662Three of you?
41662Want to swim over and join your little friends?
41662Was that White Sturgeon really off the ship?
41662Well,he said,"I can at least listen to what the man says, ca n''t I?"
41662Well?
41662What are we going to do?
41662What are you doin''here?
41662What are you doin''here?
41662What are you doing?
41662What are you going to do now?
41662What are you up to?
41662What did Schultz do?
41662What do we do first?
41662What do we do then?
41662What do you mean?
41662What do you say?
41662What do you see?
41662What do you think?
41662What do you want here?
41662What do you want?
41662What does the menu offer?
41662What else must you do?
41662What happened? 41662 What happened?"
41662What happened?
41662What happened?
41662What happened?
41662What is it you need, my friend? 41662 What is it, my friend?"
41662What is it?
41662What is it?
41662What makes you so sure he ca n''t be cut down to size?
41662What must we do?
41662What must we do?
41662What the blazes will anyone do with so much salt?
41662What''s got him by the ear?
41662What''s it look like?
41662What''s it to you?
41662What''s next?
41662What''s the White Sturgeon?
41662What''s the deepest part?
41662What''s the matter, Hans?
41662What''s the matter?
41662What? 41662 What?"
41662What?
41662When is that?
41662Where is your master?
41662Where is your net? 41662 Where were you?"
41662Where''s the_ Holter_?
41662Where''s the_ Holter_?
41662Who can argue with a woman?
41662Who did it?
41662Who is so filled with ambition?
41662Who was that?
41662Who was the man who told us she was hurt?
41662Why ai n''t you at work with the rest, boy?
41662Why did n''t you sail on the_ Holter_?
41662Why did n''t you?
41662Why do n''t you go somewhere else?
41662Why do we need another boat?
41662Why does Hans need so much money?
41662Why grain, and scraps, and..."And sturgeon roe?
41662Why should I do anything? 41662 Why should so many people tremble in their boots when he comes around?"
41662Why the dickens should he do that?
41662Why,he asked Pierre LeDou''s wife,"did your husband bring me here?"
41662Why?
41662Will fishing end?
41662Will it take so much to buy those things of which you speak?
41662Will you get one?
41662Will you pay now?
41662Yaah? 41662 Yaah?
41662You aim to drag that piece of oak?
41662You come to rob our net, did n''t you?
41662You fought Devil Chad?
41662You goin''to fix a sturgeon?
41662You have an extra pair of wheels and an axle?
41662You have,he asked,"bought an interest in the_ Spray_?"
41662You mean because the babies will die?
41662You mean to tell me,Devil Chad repeated, as though he had not heard Ramsay,"that all them hides was lost?"
41662You mean to tell me,he demanded furiously,"that all them hides was lost?"
41662You mean we''ll take so many fish that a horse will be needed to drag them in?
41662You sure you want to go to Three Points?
41662You think I''m a fool?
41662You think he''ll get a net?
41662You think so?
41662You think so?
41662You''re a stubborn kid, ai n''t you?
41662You''re not going to work in Three Points?
41662You''re not hurt?
41662You''re the youngster Devil Chad beat up, are n''t you?
41662Your net?
41662And Devil Chad controls''the job''?"
41662Are you hungry, M''sieu?"
41662But can I talk reason to a Dutchman?"
41662But should you not rest now?"
41662But what was that down at the edge of the lake?
41662But who did n''t risk when they played for big stakes?
41662By the way, do you have any use for that horse?"
41662Can I have his nose?"
41662Can a trader trade fish?
41662Can you not come in now?"
41662Can you, by the way, supply me with a good oaken keel and cedar planking?"
41662Could anyone even think it was fishing?
41662Devil Chad''s bellow blasted,"What are you doin''here?"
41662Did Ramsay care to go with him and help bring the unfortunates safely back?
41662Do either of you have a choice as to watches?"
41662Do n''t you fellows ever do anything except sleep?"
41662Do you have any to offer?"
41662Else how will a boat put in to pick our catch up?
41662Got any eggs for me, Marta?"
41662Got your spiles driven?"
41662Hans asked,"Can you hold it?"
41662Have n''t I repaid you, with perhaps a bonus of a sandwich for supper?"
41662Have you got any fish?"
41662He called,"Hans?"
41662He is...?"
41662He shouted again,"Will the ship sink?"
41662He shouted to make himself heard above the screaming saw,"Yes?"
41662He waited for Baptiste to finish, and asked in English,"Do you know who did it?"
41662He wheezed like an over- fat lap- dog,"Vot you doin''?"
41662How about moving all this?"
41662How are you going to go fishing again?"
41662How do you aim to get it home?"
41662Huh?"
41662I heard you lost the_ Spray_?"
41662If Devil Chad had set out to control everything, then why had n''t he made an attempt to control fishing?
41662If Devil Chad was the leader of the pirates, did he trust his minion so little that he had told him nothing?
41662If so, why did Jake Hillis accompany them at all?
41662Is that why Joe Mannis can make more money than anybody else around here, just watchin''bodies?
41662Marta, why do n''t you want Pieter to go fishing?"
41662My boats, my nets, my pier, my life?
41662Need a box of candy for that girl of yours, Ramsay?"
41662No steak?"
41662No?
41662Now she''s wrecked and I must walk....""The_ Holter''s_ wrecked?"
41662Now where will I get it?"
41662Now will you answer one question?"
41662Or shall we divide what we have and keep on fishing with the seine?"
41662Ramsay approached him with"Who''s the boss man around here?"
41662Ramsay asked,"Do you think they will come again?"
41662Ramsay turned to Hans,"How big is this pound net?"
41662Ramsay, do you want to harness the horse and bring him down?"
41662See?"
41662So what happens?
41662Tell me what has kept you away for so very long?"
41662The White Sturgeon noses his way to the top when a storm comes, so he is bad luck?
41662The loot they might have in their pockets?
41662Then he spoke,"Where am I?"
41662Then he swallowed and tried a new tack,"What do you do with all the barrels?"
41662Tradin''Jack Hammersly''s rig was in the yard, and Ramsay heard the man say,"Marta, what you been feedin''your hens?"
41662Two hundred dollars?"
41662Was Devil Chad involved?
41662What are you going to do for the families of the men who were lost?"
41662What can I do for you?"
41662What did the horseman want with them?
41662What do we do now?"
41662Who but Devil Chad could now be plotting to seize the Lake Michigan fisheries?
41662Who but Devil Chad would dare do such a thing?"
41662Who had done so?
41662Who was this man, and what was he, that so many others could live in almost craven fear of him?
41662Why did n''t somebody call me?"
41662Why not be a smart little boy and beat it back to wherever you came from?"
41662Why?
41662With these millions washed up, can you not imagine the vast amount remaining in the water?
41662Would he know about matadors?
41662Would you consider it uncivil if I left you for a while?"
41662Would you like some spirits to go with it?"
41662Would you like to sleep here tonight?"
41662Yaah?
41662You do n''t like it in Three Points, you might come back here?"
41662You have never seen one?"
47237Am I blaming you?
47237And so you talked of Ralph Hinchley?
47237And what are you doing up here in the dark?
47237And you have carried notes between them before?
47237And you think it wicked, I believe?
47237And you, Margaret?
47237Are you better?
47237Are you blaming me?
47237Are you going to sing?
47237Are you hurt?
47237Are you ill?
47237Are you in earnest?
47237Are you never coming to see Margaret?
47237Are you not judging hastily?
47237Are you really hurt, Margaret?
47237As Phil Yates the gambler''s wife? 47237 As how?"
47237At least you can say if you think she loves me?
47237But did you not own you considered her cold and hard?
47237But not heartless?
47237But the duel?
47237But what would you have said?
47237But will you go and speak to her?
47237But you will have a cup of tea?
47237Ca n''t you give us a bed for our friend?
47237Confound you, what do you look like that for?
47237Could you ride a few miles further, Ned?
47237Did I? 47237 Did you speak?"
47237Did you think it wrong?
47237Do n''t you ride with us?
47237Do we stay?
47237Do you call it folly?
47237Do you dare deny having written to Ralph Hinchley that you loved him-- that you were ready to abandon your engagement and marry him?
47237Do you expect him back to- night?
47237Do you think I would not have freed you at once?
47237Does he touch these?
47237Does that mean you prefer to walk alone?
47237Good- morning,he said;"are you talking so sweetly with those roses that you can neither see nor hear?"
47237Great heavens, Sybil, who is this man?
47237Have I complained?
47237Have I not clung to you as few women would have done? 47237 Have n''t you perjured your soul enough, already?
47237Have you any other commands?
47237Have you been trouting, Laurence?
47237Have you come to that?
47237He may, perhaps, avenge you; why not?
47237He wo n''t drink, and he wo n''t gamble; so what''s to be done? 47237 How are you now, Laurence?"
47237How can I tell? 47237 How far is that?"
47237How long must this continue?
47237How many times must one ask you to do a thing before you condescend to pay attention?
47237How so?
47237I beg your pardon; what did you wish?
47237I believe she is in her room; shall I call her?
47237I say Phil and I are not two angels for temper in dull times; do you think so?
47237I?
47237Is there another woman on earth brazen enough to have written it?
47237Is there no physician near?
47237Is this your strength? 47237 Kill you, my pet?
47237Laurence, is it not almost time to go home?
47237Laurence,called one of his friends, stooping over him,"are you better?"
47237Look at this bud, Mr. Laurence; did you ever see any thing more beautiful?
47237Margaret-- Margaret Waring? 47237 May I have a cup of tea, Miss Chase?"
47237No; I believe he is at the mines,she answered; then added quickly, pointing to the injured man:"Has he fainted?"
47237Nonsense, Mr. Laurence-- you are not jealous? 47237 Now, why ca n''t you be honest and say you are glad to see us start?"
47237Of what are you thinking?
47237Oh, I thought-- that is, from the way you spoke--"What did you think?
47237Oh, is n''t it? 47237 One of the gentlemen had a hurt--""Was the doctor here?"
47237Possibly; but ca n''t we stay here?
47237Shall we be able to go from here soon, Philip?
47237Shall we go on?
47237She is frightened, of course,said Sybil;"who could help it?
47237Speak the truth, Sybil,he said,"speak the truth, I say; did the young lady write that letter they were talking about?"
47237Sybil, you have called yourself my friend; answer me: do you believe that Hinchley loves Margaret?
47237Sybil,said Laurence, in a grave, low voice,"is this thing true?"
47237Then what''s the use of talking about it,exclaimed Yates, angrily,"if he wo n''t drink or play?"
47237Then you did n''t speak to him?
47237Then you pity her for the misfortunes she has brought upon herself?
47237Think so?
47237This is Monday, is n''t it?
47237Well, you are not frightened, now it is all over?
47237Well?
47237Well?
47237What are you going to do?
47237What caused it?
47237What day of the month is this?
47237What did she say?
47237What did you come for?
47237What did you say?
47237What do you mean?
47237What do you mean?
47237What do you want of me?
47237What is a man likely to want when he comes home tired and hungry, I should like to know?
47237What is he to you? 47237 What is the matter?"
47237What is to come now?
47237What makes you think so?
47237What proof have you?
47237What''ll we do?
47237What''s the good of keeping this up? 47237 When shall I expect you?"
47237Where is Miss Waring?
47237Where is the woman?
47237Where''s Tom?
47237Which I am morally certain you will spill on the carpet-- won''t he, Miss Waring?
47237Who ever supposed it was any thing else?
47237Who has been here to- day?
47237Who is there?
47237Who then?
47237Who wrote the letter Mr. Laurence saw you give me?
47237Why are you here, sir, and who is that man?
47237Why did n''t you keep them?
47237Why did you not say to me frankly-- I detest this marriage?
47237Why have you come here?
47237Why?
47237Wife?
47237Will there never be an end? 47237 Will you go and sit with my uncle for a while, Miss Chase?"
47237Will you promise to conduct yourselves like men?
47237Yes; did you expect me?
47237You are certain?
47237You are very obliging--"Oh, she means to beat you unmercifully,interrupted Margaret;"do n''t you, Miss Chase?"
47237You do n''t feel afraid, Sybil? 47237 You have had no tea,"she said;"shall I order it brought up?"
47237You have n''t had any supper, Tom?
47237You have no business on hand?
47237You will not feel lonely if I go?
47237You would not care in what way; you would not mind the occupation?
47237Are you blaming Miss Waring or me?"
47237Are you fond of trout- fishing, Miss Chase?"
47237At the close he said:"When will he be at the diggings?"
47237But what is your news?"
47237Can you blame me for longing to have another home than this?"
47237Did I faint?"
47237Did you write to Hinchley?"
47237Do you consider that she conducts herself as an engaged person should?"
47237Do you know him?"
47237Does it desert you now?"
47237Had there been any?
47237Hinchley?"
47237I have got out of worse scrapes than this-- fudge, what''s this place compared to Australia?"
47237I know she tells you all her troubles freely enough; why should you refuse to listen to my part of the story?"
47237I say, California sheep get pretty tough, now do n''t they?"
47237I suppose every wife ought to be exceedingly careful; but then, is a woman to be deprived of every bit of sentiment or romance?"
47237Just now I want to know what brought that Laurence here?"
47237Miserable, cowardly girl, why did you not come frankly and tell me the truth?"
47237Miss Chase seated herself by the tray, while Laurence turned to Margaret:"Where is Hinchley?"
47237Now will you come?"
47237Shall we go down?"
47237She turned at the sound of his footstep, and demanded, angrily:"What do you wish more?
47237Sybil waved that claim to consideration carelessly aside, and went on:"There was a party of strangers at the house one night last week?"
47237Tell me: do you believe any woman who loved a man would act as she does?
47237There may be half a dozen robberies-- will one more make any great difference?"
47237They rode toward her; as they reached the spot, she rose and called again:"You are not hurt, Miss Waring?"
47237What did he want?
47237Who knows how many listeners we may have?"
47237Why did she tremble so violently in the first clasp of his arms?
47237Why do I weep for Thee?
47237Why should you always blame me?"
47237With all this, why was there so much pain left in her heart?
47237Yates?"
47237Yates?"
47237You was afraid I should kill him, eh?"
47237You will be back to dinner?"
47237You will be my friend; say, will you not try to help me?"
47237You wo n''t draw back?"
47237groaned Margaret, almost fainting from a sharp recoil of outraged feeling,"is there no man living who will avenge me on this libeler?"
47237tell man unsought that you loved him?
47237where the deuce are you, I say?"
38607And how is it in case the animal is lost or gets killed?
38607And what are your terms in letting your cows?
38607Did he use any weapons, or injure any one?
38607How is this?
38607I said to Mr. Douglas,''How is it possible that Mr. McBean could have treated me in this way? 38607 Suppose,"said I,"the owner should require your rifle and four horses?"
38607Tilokaikt, a Cayuse chief, rose and said:''What do you read the laws for before we take them? 38607 Well, Doctor, what shall we have for supper?"
38607Were not the accounts of the Puget Sound Company always forwarded to the Hudson''s Bay Company''s depot?
38607What are those conditions?
38607What do you think I had better do?
38607What does Congress care about measuring wheat? 38607 Who''s for a divide?"
38607Will you?
38607''Why should I take them away?
38607; says 3 to 2,"Titles are very necessary here in Missouri, what titles shall we take?"
38607A.--_Stanfield said that Mr. Rogers had made a confession that the Doctor had poisoned the Indians._ I replied,"Who knows this?"
38607Again, on the 54th page( 39th of Ross Browne), in answer to Mr. Spalding''s wild, despairing cry,"But where shall I go?"
38607Among other things he said:''I appeal to you, what will become us, if we reject the proposition of Senator Johnson?
38607And now, as they have succeeded, where is the Hudson''s Bay Company?
38607And what are the consequences, as presented to us in the history of older countries, of an indiscriminate use of ardent spirits?
38607And what was the service that these Indians had rendered, for which these goods were given by this"_ powerful organization_?"
38607And what will be the consequence?
38607And why did they do it?
38607And why do they pretend to say"his life would have been spared,"and it was only a mistake that he was shot?
38607And why is England, to- day, hesitating to give this church in particular the same confidence she does to all others?
38607And why?
38607And why?
38607Are not your proposed fines and penalties as great or greater than those of the old law?
38607Are the limits of the settlement defined by the municipal law, Selkirk grant, or Indian sale?
38607Are we correct in these conclusions?
38607Are we still dreaming that Rome is changed, or that she has surrendered the hope of supplanting Protestant freedom on these shores?
38607Are you not ashamed?
38607Are you not satisfied with what you have done?
38607Before the Christmas preceding, Peter put the question to Smith, how he should like to see him kill Mr. John?
38607But, we are asked, what has this to do with the history of Oregon, and its early settlement?
38607Can a half- breed hire any of his Indian relatives to hunt furs for him?
38607Can a half- breed receive any furs, as a present, from an Indian, a relative of his?
38607Can a half- breed sell his furs to any person he pleases?
38607Can a half- breed trade furs from an Indian, in or out of the settlement?
38607Can a half- breed trade furs from another half- breed, in or out of the settlement?
38607Can their friendship be bought by paying them the entire sum they claim?
38607Can this be done?
38607Can we hope to remain a people, always separate and distinct?
38607Can we regard the conduct of such men in any other light than as enemies in peace?
38607Can you have us two or three small guns cast at the foundery?
38607Could we rely upon Captains McCarty, or McKay, or Smith to call out their companies; or Major Howard?
38607Did it conflict with his duties as a British subject?
38607Did not Dr. Whitman, his wife, and all at his mission suffer, and many of them die, to save Oregon as a part of the great American Republic?
38607Did they say they found friends or enemies here?''
38607Do we see it, and shall we accept it?"
38607Do you ask me how I know these things?
38607Do you ask me how I know this?
38607Do you remember my coming to get my gun mended last fall?
38607Do you remember my words, that all was not right with our people, and my inviting you to come and see us?
38607Do you want still to kill poor innocent creatures that have never done you any harm?''
38607Doctor Saffron, in answer to the interrogatory,"In what way did you become acquainted with the Whitman massacre?"
38607Does a simple slab mark the place of their rest?
38607Father Brouillet know all this?
38607Has a half- breed, a settler, the right to hunt furs in this country?
38607Has a native of this country, not an Indian, a right to hunt furs?
38607Has any one ever before attempted to claim honorable dealing for companies pursuing invariably the same selfish and avaricious course?
38607Have the Americans any right to believe they will pursue any more liberal course toward them than they have, and do pursue toward their countrymen?
38607Have the Indians in any part of the vast country occupied by that company been civilized or bettered in their condition?
38607Have the settlements under their fostering care been successful and prosperous?
38607Have they asked for, or even attempted an explanation, or a refutation of those slanders?
38607Have they lost their power and influence by uniting the elements of opposition in one vast fur monopoly?
38607Have we any organization upon which we can rely for mutual protection?

38607How is it possible he did not inform me?''
38607How is it with us?
38607How is it, fellow- citizens, with you and me, and our children and wives?
38607How is this?
38607I asked him,"How do you know this?"
38607I asked the Indians, if he gave us poison, why did the Americans get sick?
38607I have been much with the Americans and French; they know my heart, can any one tell any thing bad of me?
38607I inquired,"Had you any thing to do with it personally?"
38607I said,"What will become of me?"
38607If a half- breed has the right to hunt furs, can he hire other half- breeds for the purpose of hunting furs?
38607If a person can not trade furs, either in or out of the settlement, can he purchase them for his own and family use, and in what quantity?
38607If it was designed for these priests, who was the designer?
38607If such facts do not implicate a party, we ask what will?
38607If the Doctor, and Mr. Spalding, and Mrs. Whitman were the only ones they thought injuring them, why attempt to kill all the Americans at the station?
38607If they had no confidence in them, why did they repeat them, giving them the color of truth?
38607In that case, did he forfeit his own and the lives of all that fell with him?
38607In the communication signed by Mr. Geiger, he is asked,"What was the cause of discouragement with the Doctor and Mr. Spalding at that time?"
38607In what light shall we regard the early American missionaries and pioneers of Oregon?
38607Is a half- breed obliged to sell his furs to the Hudson''s Bay Company at whatever price the company may think proper to give him?
38607Is it just and sage for the Choctaws to refuse a liberal and favorable offer, and expose themselves to the destiny of the Indians of Nebraska?''
38607Is it wise, is it reasonable, that we should submit to it?
38607Is there an American on this coast who doubts the fact of the tyrannical course of the company?
38607Is this severe, kind reader, upon the Board and a portion of Dr. Whitman''s associates?
38607Is this so?
38607It was now too late, and it was lost to the company unless they could get it allowed by the United States government?"
38607Laperti said,"Where can I hide myself?"
38607March 7,"_ Their sympathies are with the Cayuses._"What are we to understand by such information given to two different parties?
38607Mr. Hines, can you vouch for the truth of this statement?
38607Mr. John said to Peter,"Have you seen Laperti?"
38607Mr. Rogers says to Mrs. Whitman,"Shall we let them come up?"
38607Mrs. Whitman asked:"Have the Indians let them have land?"
38607Or did the repeating of these Indian statements by Mr. Craig make them true?
38607Peter answered,"No, I have not seen him;"and then Mr. John said,"Have you seen Urbaine?"
38607Peter said,"Who is going to kill him?"
38607Put this statement of Mr. McBean by the side of that of Sir James Douglas, and how does it read?

38607Shall_ they_ be disappointed?

14545And the other?
14545And the others? 14545 And you thought you could take Johnson''s measure?"
14545Anything wrong, young man? 14545 Are you sure you had your spur here?"
14545Arizona?
14545Aw, what''s wrong? 14545 Awguan?
14545Back down? 14545 Back in New York, maybe?"
14545Be back soon?
14545Bet on it? 14545 Boland, what did you come here for, anyhow?"
14545But Pete, are n''t you taking too long a chance? 14545 But do n''t you see, old thing, you''re still up in the air?
14545But if the claim is so rich, why do you need money?
14545But why-- why on earth-- did you insist on employing men you now distrust? 14545 But wo n''t your man Marsh tell Zurich about your unruly behavior?"
14545But you ca n''t do more than guess? 14545 But your mine?"
14545But, Pete, are n''t we taking a big chance that some one will find our claim? 14545 Ca n''t I see Mr. Gans, then?"
14545Ca n''t you read?
14545Cards to you?
14545Cards?
14545Could it have been a slip?
14545Could n''t we make a get- away at night?
14545Could we find this treasure- trove by a painstaking search of the hills?
14545Did I?
14545Did he bring the keys, too?
14545Do you play tennis? 14545 Do your reflecting out loud, ca n''t you?"
14545Don Hooaleece,said Benavides, very bright- eyed, when they had ridden a little way from camp,"how is eet to be?
14545Dropping in? 14545 Ever hear of that?
14545Ever think of writing? 14545 Find it?
14545For the mine, you mean?
14545Frame- up, then?
14545Got water? 14545 Had n''t you better ask him?"
14545Have a cigar?
14545He''s older than you, then?
14545Him? 14545 How could any one know?
14545How did that man get here?
14545How long ago did you say it was when you began shootin''?
14545How long will it take you?
14545How will you have it, sir?
14545How''d you get this in, damn you?
14545How''re you fixed for work, Jack?
14545How''s that?
14545How?
14545I might talk to Mr. Longman, perhaps?
14545I suppose you are not commissioned to make any definite proposal as to terms, in case the investigation terminates as favorably as you anticipate? 14545 If you mean that I fear the man Johnson at all, why do you not use tongue and lips to say that same?
14545If you will excuse me, then?
14545Is he all right?
14545Is n''t he?
14545Is n''t it?
14545Is this a time for quarreling among ourselves? 14545 Is-- is the janitor in?"
14545It''s not his lungs, I hope?
14545Johnson, what is your motive? 14545 Johnson,"said the vice- president,"are you trying to start a run on this bank?
14545Just what will you ask my cousin to do? 14545 Look here-- what do you think I am?
14545Man Johnson, will ye bide behind for a word?
14545Maybe your friend would like to join us?
14545Mind your own business, will you?
14545Mine?
14545Mitchell?
14545Money? 14545 Mr. Oscar Mitchell, is it?"
14545Must have quite a bunch?
14545Must n''t Francis Charles go to work?
14545My friend''s friend is my friend? 14545 Nan- nà ¡, I gather, being the pony?"
14545Next gentleman?
14545Now what do you think of that? 14545 Now what?
14545Now, what else?
14545Oh, has Pete been in jail? 14545 Oh, you did, hey?
14545Oh, you know him, then?
14545Oh-- you''re going, are you?
14545Or did somebody mention the name of grub?
14545Or did you say?
14545Ready?
14545Really-- but that is hardly our affair, is it?
14545Really-- but that is hardly our affair, is it?
14545Say, Bat, do you think you''ll make the morning train? 14545 See you after supper?"
14545Shoved it in through a third- story window?
14545Smoke?
14545So it was you last night?
14545So this is Francis Charles?
14545So you think that after a while, when their enthusiasm dies down, we can give them the slip?
14545Stanley sick? 14545 Suppose there was six men?"
14545That rope? 14545 That was Stan''s partner to- day-- that old gray goat?"
14545Then we''re to do nothing just now but to shun mind- readers, write no letters, and not talk in our sleep?
14545Thompson, you see this-- this object? 14545 Three- ninths?"
14545To begin with, how about water and fuel?
14545Too lazy to defend yourself against the charge of being lazy?
14545Trickling into your thick skull, is it? 14545 Trouble, Don Hooaleece?
14545Trouble?
14545Walters?
14545Want to try a little game to- night?
14545Was I kidding myself?
14545Was there anything else?
14545Weakening, eh?
14545Well, Joe?
14545Well, Johnson, how about it?
14545Well, Johnson, what''s this?
14545Well, was n''t he insultin''the boys then?
14545Well? 14545 Whachamean--''Ha''?"
14545What are we going to do about our mine?
14545What are you going to do or take water?
14545What are you horning in for?
14545What do you do? 14545 What do you think I am-- a fool?
14545What do you want?
14545What does this mean?
14545What for?
14545What have you got? 14545 What if you are?
14545What is there to compromise? 14545 What is this, Johnson?
14545What makes you think so?
14545What mine?
14545What more do you want?
14545What the Billy- hell?
14545What you got?
14545What''s doing over at the Gavilan? 14545 What''s that?
14545What''s that? 14545 What''s the good of throwing Johnson into jail for five or ten days-- or perhaps only a fine?
14545What''s the idea-- to swindle yourself?
14545What''s the matter with you now, fool?
14545What''s the merry prank?
14545What? 14545 When you was a boy?"
14545Where''s Rhiny?
14545Who did it? 14545 Who was it?"
14545Who you been betrayin''now?
14545Why do n''t you go to Prescott, Johnson? 14545 Why do n''t you leave him in jail and hunt for the claim till you find it?"
14545Why not take a whirl at law?
14545Why not?
14545Why, sheriff, what''s the matter? 14545 Will he take the first steps on your bare word-- without even a sample or an assayer''s report?"
14545Wo n''t there ever be any more hands of poker dealt?
14545Ya- as? 14545 You Stan Mitchell''s pardner?"
14545You did n''t pack these over here?
14545You goin''to break him out o''the pen?
14545You got any enemies, pardner?
14545You got money to sell? 14545 You have no ambition whatever?"
14545You know Benavides, Stan?
14545You poor, blundering, meddling, thick- headed fool,said Zurich unpleasantly;"ca n''t you see what you''ve done?
14545You remember Mayer Zurich, whom we helped through that fake bankruptcy at Syracuse?
14545You say he has proved himself a good man of his hands?
14545You wo n''t ask what, hey? 14545 Young man, do you want I should throw this bank out of the window?"
14545Young man,he said,"would you know that brown horse Stan was ridin''when you met up with him?"
14545''Did n''t you tote a sample out of that blisterin''old desert?''
14545''How''d they know we got any mine?''
14545''Then is every play I make-- henceforth and forever, amen-- to be gaumed up by a mess of hirelin''bandogs?
14545''What kind of talk is this?
14545''What they tryin''to put over on Stan now?''
14545A plant?"
14545About how much cash have you got in your roll?"
14545About twenty mile, I reckon?"
14545About your ranch: you''ve still got your wells and water- holes?
14545About-- geography-- history-- that sort of thing?"
14545After they find out where it is--_cuidado!_''"''But who took that package out of the mail, Petey?
14545Ai n''t those fellows after your mine?
14545Aloud he said:"One of Zurich''s ranches, is n''t it?
14545And Shorty Bill, he told you so?
14545And all in front?
14545And gie him a bit word of counsel from time to time, should ye see him temptit to whilly- whas and follies?
14545And how is Stanley?
14545And how''d you happen to turn up here?"
14545And now may I put a question or two?
14545And so on,_ ad infinitum_, like fleas with little fleas to bite''em-- that sort of thing-- what?
14545And that I rate it highly?
14545And then what?"
14545And what are we going to do now?"
14545And when shall I go?"
14545And why did he not come himself?"
14545And yet are these folk, indeed, so singular among citizens?
14545Any good?"
14545Anything else?"
14545Anything we can do for you?"
14545Are n''t you a little mite petulant this A.M.?
14545Are they going to slide me four kings?
14545Asleep?"
14545Be you the cashier?"
14545Bet on this hand?"
14545Booze?
14545But again, if so, how did water from Delaware get to Baltimore?
14545But have you now showed all your little box of tricks?"
14545But suppose the tree was shooting back?
14545But, I say, old chappie, why did n''t you come last night?
14545CHAPTER IX"Far be it from me to-- to--""Cavil or carp?"
14545Ca n''t ye, now?"
14545Ca n''t you dig up any evidence to help you?"
14545Ca n''t you see that your fine, plausible theory is all built on surmise and wild conjecture?
14545Can you give bail?"
14545Canals, or something?"
14545Come over to the Iroquois, wo n''t you?"
14545Curse your soul, what do you mean by it?"
14545Did it ever occur to you that I have your instructions, over your own signature, filed away, and that they would make mighty interesting reading?
14545Did you get the money I left for you?"
14545Did you think of that all by yourself?
14545Do n''t sound heroic much, do they?
14545Do you fish?
14545Do you know anybody here?
14545Do you mean I''ve been bunked?''
14545Do you reckon you could stir round and find him for me-- if your dad can spare you?
14545Do you squire the girls?
14545Do you take a hand at bridge?
14545Does he prosper?
14545Does that let me in?
14545Eh?
14545Exports?"
14545Find it, says you?
14545Fine day, is n''t it?"
14545For, how about this dry canal along here?
14545Forgotten that?''"
14545Fox and geese too-- ever play fox and geese?
14545Golf?
14545Got any rich friends back East?"
14545Got that, now?"
14545Got that?
14545Got that?"
14545Got that?"
14545Hang Joey?
14545Have you any business here?"
14545He asleep yet?"
14545He turned to the boy:"Well, Bobby, you had a hard time wranglin''them to- day-- but you got''em, did n''t you, son?"
14545He went after the boy?"
14545He''s got brains, hain''t he?
14545How can they guess you found a solid mountain of the stuff?''
14545How could any one know?"
14545How far is it?
14545How far is your mine from the railroad?"
14545How is it with you?"
14545How''d you get in?"
14545I may have mentioned my intelligence?
14545I might even stock up and throw in with you-- but you would n''t want a partner from the wrong side of the table?
14545I now make the direct appeal to you, Eric: As a candid man or mouse, what would you do next?"
14545I suppose you''ve told your girl already?
14545I thought they got it all when they arrested you?"
14545I''m doing this.--Well, Dewing, how about it?"
14545If you really think I can give you any such evidence, why not trade me an interest in the mine for it?"
14545If you was in there, would n''t you want to get out?"
14545In Abingdon?"
14545In a wild and topsy- turvy world, did you implore me to devote my splendid and unwasted energies in the service of Good, with a capital G?
14545In town yet?"
14545Is n''t that security all right?"
14545Is she pretty?
14545Is some one going to draw down wages for makin''me mizzable all the rest of my whole life?''
14545Is that nothing?"
14545Is there a catch about it?
14545Is this not, indeed, a most beautiful world, and ours the land of opportunity, progress, education?
14545It''s all right, I reckon.... And the little shaver?
14545Johnson?"
14545Know that country?
14545Let me outline two of the many possibilities: If I do n''t bail you out, I''m doin''you dirt, ai n''t I?
14545Let us, then, be up and doing.--Doing, certainly; but why not think a little too?
14545Make it a quick one, will you?
14545Man, and have ye noticed that too?"
14545Money.--Who''s this?"
14545Mope and mowl?
14545Motor?
14545Must n''t it go to work?"
14545Nevertheless--""Why, then, the exertion?"
14545No?
14545Notice that?"
14545Now what warlockry is this?"
14545Now, how does this strike you?
14545Now, who is to gain by putting you on the blink, huh?"
14545Or does one hear people when they mowl?"
14545Quite a lot of''em?
14545Ready?
14545Row?
14545S''pose they''ve struck it rich, like we did?"
14545Say, how about this Stanley thing, anyway?
14545See any scars?
14545See that huddle of little hills in the middle of the plain, ahead and a little to the south?
14545See what followed that filing-- over yonder?
14545Shall we say a week?"
14545Should n''t Francis Charles marry?"
14545Shut up, will you?
14545So I put it up to you, Petey-- square and aboveboard-- what are they tryin''to work on Stan now?''
14545So unseeing a people?
14545Son, if our copper claims had really been in the Gavilan, instead of a- hundred- and- then- some long miles in another- guess direction-- then what?"
14545Standing on the higher stair, he whispered in the larger man''s ear:"You got all the keys?"
14545Standing on your previous record and insistin''you''re the victim of foul play?
14545Suit you?"
14545Suppose some one should stumble onto it?"
14545Swim?
14545Sympathy dodge?...
14545Take some one''s girl away from him, maybe?"
14545Tell me, rather, what we are going to do about this troublesome Johnson?
14545That was Pete Johnson, was n''t it?
14545That''s fair, is n''t it, Johnson?"
14545That''s my best chance to find out how to keep you from goin''to the pen, is n''t it?
14545The calm repose; that sort of thing-- what?"
14545The first waking thought is invariably, What of the day?
14545Then why did n''t he keep it private and confidential?
14545Think I''m blind, hey?
14545Umpire?"
14545Want to take a hand at poker, Pete?
14545Was it ever finished?
14545Was it ever used?
14545Was n''t that right?
14545Was n''t there a Baltimore and Ohio Canal?
14545Was you expectin''that to go unremarked?
14545Was''t so with you?"
14545Wash up?
14545We are agreed on that?
14545We saw your fire?"
14545We''re rather overlooking Ferdie, do n''t you think?
14545We''ve had a pleasant afternoon, have n''t we?
14545Well, I do n''t blame you-- but say, Stan, on the level, it''s a funny old world, is n''t it?"
14545Well, then, what''s the matter with the army?"
14545What are the principal exports of Abingdon?"
14545What are you up to?"
14545What can I do for you to- day?"
14545What did he say?"
14545What did it cost?
14545What do you suppose that fiend Johnson is going to do?
14545What do you want?"
14545What happened on the Cobre Trail to stir up your superstitions?"
14545What have I done that you should be so short to me?"
14545What have you been doing here?"
14545What in hell do you mean?"
14545What in hell does he mean, then-- swearin''you into jail and then breakin''you out?"
14545What is he doing with himself?
14545What is it you want me to do?
14545What is it?
14545What is the large idea?"
14545What kept you so long?"
14545What made you do it, Stanley?"
14545What money?
14545What on earth can have happened to rouse their suspicions to that extent?"
14545What ought to be done to retrieve the false step?"
14545What say?"
14545What think ye the auld body whispert to me but now?
14545What was the name of it?
14545What was the reason?"
14545What''s all this piffle got to do with our mine?"
14545What''s he been doin''now?"
14545What''s that for?''
14545What''s the good of shootin''a man all to pieces?"
14545What''s the trouble?
14545When did who build it?
14545Where did it begin?
14545Where did it start to?
14545Where did you get those cards?"
14545Where do I come in?
14545Where does this cousin of yours live?
14545Where you been all these years?
14545Where''d he go?"
14545Where''s Bob?
14545Where''s Rhiny?
14545Who built it?
14545Who digs up the willing witness?
14545Who finds skeletons in respectable closets?
14545Who is the go- between?
14545Who stirs up damage suits?
14545Who''d have thought it of him?"
14545Who''s wiggling now?"
14545Who?
14545Who?"
14545Why ca n''t I-- or both of us-- just slip down there quietly and do enough work on your mine to hold it?
14545Why do n''t you go to work?"
14545Why is thinking in such disfavor?
14545Why is thinking, about subjects and things, the one crime never forgiven by respectability?
14545Why not?"
14545Why tip it off to the G.P.?
14545Ye ken the auld man ahint my chair-- him that the silly folk ca''Rameses Second in their sport?
14545Ye''ll not be minding for an old man''s daffin''?"
14545Yes?
14545Yes?
14545Yes?
14545You a prospector?
14545You ai n''t wall- eyed, be you?
14545You are godly and cleanly men; yet, when you saw in me a gem of purest ray serene, did you appeal to my better nature?
14545You fellows all know there''s only one way to get out of that Fishhook Valley-- unless you turn round and come back the way you go in?"
14545You have that Poole tribe under your thumb, have you not?"
14545You hear it?
14545You know them location papers of ours I was to get recorded at Tucson?"
14545You remember old Hank Bergman?"
14545You were saying--?"
14545You''ll have an eye on this young spark, Mr. Boland?
14545You''re claiming that you did n''t do the robbin''at all?
14545Your scheme, was it, Texas?
14545Your word against mine?"
14545_ Compadres_--eh, Joe?
14545_ Quià © n sabe?_ If you refuse we shall truly endeavor to be interestin''; and you may get nothing.''
14545said Mr. Boland with emotion;"I may have my faults, but--""Why do n''t you go in for politics?"
42150A hard fighter?
42150An Arkansas regiment?
42150And Tommy?
42150And why,he continued, addressing Jim,"did n''t you want to be dragged into it, as you say?"
42150And you?
42150Are n''t you in the service?
42150Are n''t you the proud boy, though, over this great victory?
42150Are the rebels at Arrow Rock part of Price''s main army?
42150Are they going to try some more of their dash this evening, after all they''ve done to- day?
42150Are they trying to scare the bar out of the river?
42150Are you enlisted?
42150Are you going to Glasgow?
42150Are you sure of what you say?
42150Aw, how do I know?
42150Bushwhackers?--Guerillas?
42150But how are we to get away?
42150But what can bring Tom home so soon? 42150 But what else can be done?
42150But where in the south?
42150But you are a Union sympathizer?
42150But you are sure he has not the white child with him now?
42150Ca n''t you let a fellow alone? 42150 Can it possibly be you, so big and strong?
42150Captain Miner?
42150Captain Yeager? 42150 Did he have the white child with him then?"
42150Did n''t expect what?
42150Did you bring my calico, papa?
42150Did you get my coyote trap, papa?
42150Did you say that Major Galbraith''s company is made up of half- breeds?
42150Did you think you''d get rid of me that way?
42150Do n''t you know, two or three weeks ago a band of guerillas got the_ North Wind_ somewhere between Lexington and Miami? 42150 Do you know what would happen if I sent them back?"
42150Do you know whether they attacked the steamer_ North Wind_ on her way down?
42150Do you suppose I could find a place to- morrow?
42150Do you think he would?
42150Do you want to fight if there is an engagement?
42150Er-- ah-- partisan rangers?
42150Excuse me, madam,said he, gravely,"but is this where Mrs. Thomas Briscoe lives?"
42150Fifty dollars?
42150Good God, where have you been?
42150Has Te- o- kun- ko a white boy prisoner with him?
42150Has m''sieu feefty dollair, cash?
42150Have you ever heard of Kabul Pass?
42150He is a friend of yours, is he?
42150He started for St. Louis two weeks ago?
42150He''s a hard fighter, is he?
42150How are we going to get them if they never stick their heads up?
42150How can I go back?
42150How did it happen?
42150How do I know this is true?
42150How do you kids like it? 42150 How do you know?"
42150How do you mean?
42150How far are the Indians ahead?
42150How long have you been tied that way?
42150How many men are in your brigade?
42150How much water must there be for us to get through?
42150I beg your pardon,he interrupted, leaning across the table,"but will you kindly tell me if General Sterling Price''s army is invading Missouri?"
42150I suppose the house is completely wrecked?
42150I wonder if a shell did it, or if it''s Colonel Harding''s orders?
42150Indeed?
42150Is General Price''s army here?
42150Is Lieutenant Sheehan along?
42150Is he here?
42150Is he in your camps now?
42150Is my brother here now?
42150Is that an order?
42150Is that so?
42150It looks something like that around here, does n''t it?
42150Just one man?
42150Lieutenant C----, eh?
42150M''sieu has ze cash money here, dans sa poche, for geeve me now?
42150Many?
42150May I have permission to accompany Major Camp, General?
42150Maybe better go back now, eh?
42150Nice day, ai n''t it?
42150No, Tommy,interrupted his brother, patting the small boy''s shoulder,"but they could burn the house, and then where should we be?"
42150No?
42150Now, what can I do for you?
42150Oh, are you badly hurt?
42150Oh, did you, Al?
42150Oh, is that it?
42150Oh, is that so?
42150Rea and you?
42150Say, Wallace, where''s Captain Miner?
42150She had nearly all the corn, did n''t she?
42150Six months?
42150So long? 42150 So you''re a rebel deserter, are you?"
42150So?
42150Surrendered?
42150Te- o- kun- ko, where is Tommy,--Tommy Briscoe?
42150Te- o- kun- ko?
42150That''s bad, is n''t it? 42150 The Indian who has your brother?"
42150Then what do you think I had better do, General Sully?
42150They seem to be afraid to go out of there, do n''t they?
42150Three Indians, you say? 42150 Un white boy by ze name Tomas Breescoe?"
42150Was n''t that awful?
42150Well, Lieutenant, how long have you been in the volunteer service?
42150Well, old boy,said he, putting his arm around his horse''s neck,"I wonder what''s in store for us to- day?"
42150Well, say, what do you think of that?
42150Well, where is he now?
42150Well, why not go with me?
42150Well?
42150Were any white people killed at the Agency?
42150Were you willing to see six other men murdered just to get even with me?
42150What are you doing here? 42150 What are you going to do?"
42150What are you so alarmed about?
42150What can it mean?
42150What do you know about these prisoners?
42150What do you think of it?
42150What do you want?
42150What has happened, Thomas?
42150What is your name?
42150What on earth is all that whistling for?
42150What shall I do now?
42150What will they do now?
42150What''s that?
42150What''s the matter, mother?
42150What''s the matter?
42150What''s yer hurry? 42150 What''s your name?"
42150What, Tommy?
42150What?
42150What?
42150What?
42150What?
42150When did you see Te- o- kun- ko last,--that is, previous to his coming into the big camp?
42150Where did he come from?
42150Where have you come from that you did n''t know that?
42150Where have you come from?
42150Where is Lamont with the_ Island City_?
42150Where is your father?
42150Where shall we hide?
42150Where was he killed?
42150Who are those Indians, Wallace?
42150Who are you?
42150Who told you that?
42150Who?
42150Why are you so set against him?
42150Why do n''t you?
42150Why do you think that?
42150Why does n''t General Curtis get you concentrated down here by the border somewhere? 42150 Why not?"
42150Why should I live any longer with them gone?
42150Why should we run away from a lot of bad Indians? 42150 Why, are you here?"
42150Why, my boy,said he,"how can I help it?
42150Why?
42150Will you not come in with us, Te- o- kun- ko?
42150Wonder what the rebs are doin''?
42150Would you go across the line?
42150Would you not feel the same for your brother?
42150You are going to spare our lives?
42150You crazy jack- rabbit,he cried,"what are you trying to do?
42150You do n''t know much about matters around here, then?
42150You know that he has had such a prisoner, do n''t you?
42150You remember Sergeant Jones, who commanded the artillery at Fort Ridgely?
42150You say he''s coming up the Missouri?
42150You say you ca n''t show him?
42150You understand?
42150You will try to keep it from burning, wo n''t you, Al?
42150You''re going out from motives of pure patriotism alone, I suppose?
42150You''re not going because there''s gold out there and you want to make your fortunes?
42150Al followed the soldiers and cried in the Corporal''s ear,"Charlie, where is Captain Miner?"
42150Am I not right?"
42150And they rode north?"
42150And your husband-- Doctor Falkner?"
42150And, most perplexing of all, where was Tommy now?
42150Are those last goods that were brought on board checked up yet?
42150Are you hungry?"
42150As Wallace Smith exclaimed to Al, riding along beside him,"By George, Al, is n''t this a sight worth seeing and worth remembering, too?
42150As soon as the first warm greeting was over, Al asked fearfully,"Mother, have you seen or heard anything of Tommy?"
42150But can we start for the fort now?"
42150But should he trust his mother and Annie to these Indians when they had just suffered so terribly at the hands of others of the same race?
42150But we have been paying for them ever since; we are paying now, and is not the price even yet great enough?
42150But what about General Price?"
42150But you remember Major Brown?
42150Can we get guns?
42150Can you not see that it is hopeless; that the red men can never prevail against the power and the numbers of the whites?"
42150Can you tell me, my boy,"he turned to Al,"anything of the appearance of the Indian who carried away your brother which might help to identify him?"
42150Could they make their way to the fort alone if he should deny their presence now and go with the Indians himself, either to safety or death?
42150Did you whip the Indians?"
42150Do you hold your life of no value that you demand your brother now, when you are in my power?"
42150Do you know where to cut off the best pieces for eating?"
42150Do you think you could agree to do that?"
42150Do you want to go with me?"
42150God, lad, are you hurt?"
42150Have n''t you seen him?"
42150Have you gone plumb out of your head?
42150Have you heard about Captain Marsh?"
42150Have you never seen those things done?
42150He heard the rustle of her dress as she came toward him, saying,"Al Briscoe?
42150He is there now?"
42150He was silent a moment, then asked abruptly,"Do you know anything about tactics,--military routine,--discipline?"
42150How and when did you get here?"
42150How did it happen?"
42150How in the name of sense do they expect to keep up with cavalry?"
42150How long have you been waiting for us?"
42150How much corn have you aboard, Captain?"
42150If you''re so much attached to them, why did n''t you stay down there and take some more Yankee boats?"
42150In trouble?"
42150Is it on fire?"
42150Is n''t the fire slacking up?"
42150Is that correct?"
42150Louis?"
42150More white people there?"
42150Mother, are the trunks ready to put in the wagon?"
42150Mother, where is Annie?"
42150No?
42150Now where''s the boy?"
42150Of whose regiment?"
42150Shall he go for Al?"
42150Then he continued, addressing Wallace,"Where have you boys come from?"
42150Then he inquired,"How long has Te- o- kun- ko been in the camp?"
42150Then he inquired,"When yeh goin''to shoot these Yanks, Captain?"
42150Then suddenly he asked,"Where''s Tommy?"
42150Then to Al he said, curiously,"Why do you ask?"
42150Wallace clutched Al''s arm, exclaiming, hoarsely,"My God, what will the skirmishers do?"
42150Was some real news coming at last?
42150Well, you better go down and check them, had n''t you?"
42150What are those specks?"
42150What are you loafing around here for, anyhow?"
42150What is there between here and his front to stop his twenty- five or thirty thousand men?
42150What of your own parents, Al?"
42150What time of day is it?"
42150What will become of the hay?"
42150What would your mother and sister do if you were killed?"
42150When did you get here?"
42150Where is Al?"
42150Why did n''t they bring along enough to last them?"
42150Why did n''t you bring enough yourselves to last you?"
42150Why do n''t you go back to the General?"
42150Why fight any longer?
42150Why had that strange, bewildered expression come over the Indian''s face when Al called him by name?
42150Why had the Yanktonais failed to shoot him when he lay there between the rocks, utterly helpless?
42150Why not?"
42150Will you hide me for a little while until I can escape from the city?"
42150Would they never cease to extend?
42150Would you like to have such a position for a while?"
42150Would you mind asking him whether he knows anything about my brother or about the Indian who holds him?"
42150You ai n''t doin''no fancy boxin''to- day, Al Briscoe, are yeh?"
42150You pay me back, oui?"
42150exclaimed Al, in great excitement, stepping close to Te- o- kun- ko as the scout interpreted his last sentences,"You took him to Fort La Framboise?
42150he asked,"and make your peace with the Great Father?
42150he cried,"what on earth are you doing here?
42150he inquired, lifting his eyebrows slightly,"What is it?"
42150he said, a disapproving note in his voice,"I wonder how we are to catch them if we do n''t keep going?"
42150suppose he should lead us into a trap?"
34399ARE YOU STILL MAD?
34399Ai n''t I knowin''it?
34399Ai n''t I payin''fer this drink because I know it? 34399 Ai n''t he great?"
34399Ai n''t he just? 34399 Ai n''t ye got anything else, Frosty?"
34399Am I a chief that I should go attended? 34399 And did you address me, sir?"
34399And if they go?
34399And is it that you think the taking of life is revenge?
34399And when is it that we do pursue them?
34399And when you get to pay level, what capacity a day would you have?
34399And where shall I sleep, sir?
34399And why?
34399And you intend not to get that revenge?
34399And you''ll save me the wings and tail or the skin, wo n''t you?
34399Are n''t you afraid you''ll never be paid, sir?
34399Are n''t you glad?
34399Are they tame? 34399 Besides, what''s the good now?"
34399Billy Knapp? 34399 Billy?
34399But the mothers----?
34399But yore comin''back, ai n''t you?
34399Come up t''see th''wo''ks?
34399Did n''t he sleep well? 34399 Did you hear the nerve of it?"
34399Did you?
34399Different, is it? 34399 Do n''t you think we''d better let it go for this morning?"
34399Do you consider her more attractive than me?
34399Do you mean to say I was riding with him?
34399Do you think there is going to be trouble?
34399Do you think----?
34399Do? 34399 Dog?"
34399For the love of God, what for?
34399For----?
34399Gentlemen,he could have said,"has it ever occurred to you to start on a small scale and work up gradually to a larger?
34399Goin''to Rapid?
34399Has she known the boys as long as I? 34399 Have we got time to hunt now?
34399Have we not the opening of the dance hall?
34399Him? 34399 Him?
34399His eyes have seen the waters of the Great River?
34399How about Billy?
34399How are you?
34399How did you get them?
34399How do you do?
34399How do you keep the dirt from coming through the roof?
34399How is it that you intend to discharge him?
34399How long will it be before you finish your meetings?
34399How much shaft and tunnel would you have to sink before getting to a paying basis?
34399How''s hunting?
34399How''s yourself?
34399How?
34399I suppose you want me to take it right out of my pants pocket, eh, Jack?
34399Is he dangerous?
34399Is it difficult?
34399Is it? 34399 Is that your dog?"
34399It is----?
34399It pleases my brother?
34399It''s in_ What Will He Do with It?_cried Molly, aglow at being able to interpolate correctly.
34399It''s just a question of people, then?
34399Killed all the game down below there?
34399Know Billy Knapp?
34399Look yere,he said truculently,"ai n''t I good fer that?"
34399May I camp here?
34399May I take you over?
34399Mr. Mortimer,called Frosty,"did you pay for this?"
34399My brother has come far?
34399My name''s Molly; what''s yours?
34399Not just yet; but after we get by Bugchaser''s-- Say, you''ve never seen Bugchaser, then, have you?
34399Now what''s the harm? 34399 Now, what harm is there in my just putting my arm around you?"
34399Of course it''s high, Molly, very high; but do n''t you think you''d better wait until to- morrow?
34399Oh, Jack, Jack,she cried suddenly,"whom else could I trust but you?
34399Others as good?
34399Perhaps his pony was lost there?
34399Riding where?
34399Run with a dawg hangin''to you? 34399 See anybody?"
34399Since when air you runnin''this joint on rules? 34399 Stay with her?"
34399Superintendent?
34399Sure?
34399Tell me, has he seen the lodges of his people?
34399That one of them?
34399That you?
34399That?
34399The sight of the white man frightened him and he was drowned?
34399The what?
34399There is n''t anything I can do, is there?
34399Timber?
34399Understand?
34399W''at is it? 34399 Wagon?"
34399Want to come in?
34399We''ll---- Do n''t you think it is going to be pretty hot?
34399Well,said Molly Lafond, with slow scorn,"how long are you going to sit there before you take care of a lady''s horses?"
34399Well?
34399What did you say this is?
34399What do I say?
34399What do you call this, my dear?
34399What do you do with it?
34399What do you mean?
34399What do you mean?
34399What do you think I''ve raised you for anyway? 34399 What do you want to do?"
34399What for?
34399What in the world do you want? 34399 What is it, Jack?
34399What is it, boys? 34399 What is it, dear?"
34399What is it, now? 34399 What is it?"
34399What is it?
34399What is the formality? 34399 What is the matter?"
34399What is the trouble? 34399 What is this?"
34399What makes you think so?
34399What of it?
34399What things?
34399What to do next?
34399What would you suggest then?
34399What would you?
34399What''ll I hit?
34399What''re y''standin''around yere for? 34399 What''s it to yuh, eh?
34399What''s it to yuh?
34399What''s that about Billy Knapp?
34399What''s the joke, boys?
34399What''s the matter?
34399What''s this?
34399What''s this?
34399When shall we begin?
34399Where are a hundred such?
34399Where are you from?
34399Where have you seen her before?
34399Where is it?
34399Where was you yesterday afternoon?
34399Who are you?
34399Who does he belong to, and where did he come from?
34399Who is he?
34399Who? 34399 Why are you so solemn?"
34399Why did n''t you say so before? 34399 Why do you want to go to the big rock, Molly?"
34399Why does he not destroy his enemies?
34399Why should n''t I feel like that?
34399Why, what''s the matter?
34399Why?
34399Why?
34399Will he look upon one of mine?
34399Will you go with me then, Molly?
34399Will you let me put my arm around you to- night in the Little Nugget?
34399Wo n''t you come over and see me?
34399Woods?
34399Worse, worse?
34399Would you be so p''lite as to repeat yore remarks?
34399Would you be willing to wait here while we investigate?
34399Y''ai n''t going that way?
34399Yes,persisted Lafond,"but what''s it for?"
34399Yes? 34399 Yes?"
34399Yo''re a breed, ai n''t yo''?
34399Yo''smok''?
34399You are French?
34399You are a stranger here?
34399You are not a miner?
34399You damn fool-- with_ that_ outfit?
34399You know the assay, then?
34399You never been down here, have you?
34399''Why comes not one to take these away?''
34399Above all, why did not this little black hairy man take care of his own horses?
34399After all, what had he to gain by staying?
34399Ai n''t it''most breakfast- time?"
34399Ai n''t you chalked drinks up to me before?
34399Ai n''t you?
34399Ai n''t you?"
34399And now you''ll wear it for me, wo n''t you?
34399And you walk this morning for your pleasure?
34399Are n''t they uncanny?"
34399Are the trails closed that he could not find his brothers before, while they were starving?
34399Are they tame enough to pet?"
34399At the last he asked bluntly,"What do you here?"
34399Bunco men can clean him out in a gambling joint, but who ever heard of their selling him a gold brick?
34399But then when they had returned to camp, and once more she found herself alone, the delicious questions always came up; how far did he intend to go?
34399But we''ve had quite a hunt already, have n''t we?
34399But what do you mean by it?
34399But why kill them?
34399But will my brother go alone and without arms?"
34399But, he asked them, why should he have committed it?
34399Can she talk better?
34399Could she have lived always with the half- breed?
34399Did he see through such and such a stratagem?
34399Do I read you right?"
34399Do arrows and rifles grow on the prairies?"
34399Do n''t he like my looks, or the freckle on my nose, or the way I wear my cap?"
34399Do n''t you think I''d fight?"
34399Do n''t you trust me, Molly?"
34399Do n''t you, Mike?"
34399Do you call that being game?
34399Do you just write and tell him he is discharged?"
34399Do you not know that it is at Rapid, in the School of Mines, that the nearest assayer is?
34399Do you think teeth would stick on that slippery bristle coat of his?
34399Do you think we''ll find anything down here near the road?"
34399Do you trust me, Molly?"
34399Do you want your pay too?"
34399Does he find them now because he calls to them from afar on the war trail?
34399Eh, well?
34399Ever hit the trail?"
34399For what?
34399Forsooth, was she to give up all her friends, her amusements, for the sake of that boy?
34399Got any cattle?"
34399Has he eight thousand in hand?
34399Has you got th''money?
34399Have you seen him ever?"
34399He needs_ such_ a little time to finish his work, and I mustn''t-- must I?"
34399He went off with Billy, you say?"
34399How did I come here?"
34399How had he happened to give way so to an impulse?
34399How long has he been rich?"
34399How should he, a scientist, know or care anything about gold excitements?
34399I repeats it"--and Houston thrust his face at Billy evilly--"has you got th''money?
34399I''ve been real good, now have n''t I?
34399If one kills, if one takes that life, w''at is worse?"
34399If they were not repulsed, could they be brought through successfully?
34399If they were resisted, would the resistance be effective?
34399If this man held the power to sway thus the policy of the camp, why did he not use it to crush the enemies of whom he had spoken?
34399In what manner would he dare accost her when next they met?
34399Is n''t that true?"
34399Is she as good friends with them?
34399Is she brighter?"
34399Is that satisfactory?"
34399Is there much game up here?"
34399Is there so much harm in that?
34399It''s no fun to be laughed at; and you''ll always be as good and brave as you were this morning, wo n''t you?"
34399Knapp?"
34399Lafond proceeded--"And who more fitted than Rain- in- the- Face?"
34399Looking at it dispassionately from the outside, what right had he to interfere?
34399Now what we want to know is, what will be the working expense of converting the ore into gold when the initial expense is over?"
34399Now, what have I done?"
34399Seems to me I do; he''s the feller that would buy the co''t house yonder if he could get trusted for it, ai n''t he?"
34399Should he leave things as they were for the present or should he return alone to complete the work?
34399Show me around, wo n''t you?"
34399That would take time to be sure; but what business does not take time?"
34399That''s your job now-- understand?"
34399The flour and meal were gone; there were no candles, and without candles how could the doctor put the last touches to his book when winter fell?
34399They were of bad influence, but why should she know that?
34399Things movin''at camp?"
34399Understand?
34399Want to come along and help carry the game?"
34399Was he really vexed at such and such a speech, or was he merely feigning?
34399We have n''t gotten along very well lately, have we?
34399What added force could a young, unarmed stranger bring him that would compensate for the trouble and expense to which he was putting himself?
34399What am I doing here?"
34399What are you going to do about the camp itself?"
34399What could be better?
34399What do you mean?"
34399What do you say?"
34399What do you shoot with it?
34399What do you think, dog?"
34399What in the world is Bugchaser?"
34399What is it?"
34399What real reason did he have?
34399What the hell does you- all want me to do to carry out this yere witticism, anyway?"
34399What was it this one demanded of my brothers?
34399What was the favor to be?
34399What was this dread of the intangible?
34399What were they waiting for?
34399What would you think of a man who would run away because the other man was a little stronger?
34399What, him?
34399What, in your idea, would be necessary for its development?"
34399What- chew doin''here?"
34399What_ have_ I done?
34399Where are they now?"
34399Who is it that will stop him?
34399Who let_ you_ in this, anyway?"
34399Who was this girl?
34399Why are n''t you at dinner?"
34399Why did he have to draw the last draft?"
34399Why did you want to get rid of him?"
34399Why do n''t you answer when I ask you a question?"
34399Why had Graham taken it into his head to bother her this one evening of all others?
34399Why has Gitche Manitou veiled his face from his children?"
34399Why has he not brought his gifts long before, if what I say is not true?
34399Why is this so?
34399Why should he?
34399Why should it?
34399Why should n''t they have gone to Rockerville?
34399Why should she command?
34399Why should she?
34399Why should she?
34399Why was it?
34399Why?
34399Will they kill anything?"
34399Will you come with me?
34399Will you do it?"
34399Will you do it?"
34399Will you take me hunting with you some day?"
34399Will you tell me why?"
34399Would the music never begin?
34399Would you have flattered me, or coaxed me, or what?"
34399Yes?
34399You ai n''t bashful, are you?"
34399You did not make the world to be sorrowful, did you, God?"
34399You do n''t know us though, do you?
34399You married?"
34399You will tell him this to his face?"
34399You- all talks well, but has you got th''money?"
34399[ Illustration:"ARE YOU STILL MAD?"]
34399ca n''t you answer?"
34399cried he, when he could get his voice,"and how about our hunt?"
34399he cried,"you''ve got a tongue, have n''t you?
34399or, if they did, do you think they would get into that tough loose hide very hard?"
34399she cried with petulance;"has it come to that?"
34399she cried, holding out both hands,"you here?
46796A litter is it that yees would be afther makin'',he remarked, quickly;"and to kerry me to camp like I was a dead soldier, so it be?
46796After we''ve tied our guns, and part of our clothes, to the log, what do we expect to do then, Bob-- fly away to the shore away over yonder? 46796 And I hope you held on to your gun?"
46796And has he given up ranging the woods with young Simon Kenton?
46796And that other rascal, Henri Lacroix-- the brother of the dead Armand?
46796And the two others?
46796And this flood, does it come from the last rain, or has there been what I heard my father call a cloud- burst?
46796And you mean to go away up into Canada to hunt for one of these moose, as they call them?
46796And, come to think of it, did any of you bring it out of the cabin? 46796 And, when that brush was piled up against our cabin, that dark night, and fired, did we not find tracks that were never made by Indian feet?
46796And,continued the other,"even if they had guessed that the cries came from down the river, what could they have done to help us?
46796Are they going to let us pass on, or do they mean to start a fight?
46796Arrah, now, listen to me, wud yees?
46796But how does it come, do you think,Sandy went on,"that, after carrying the box all this distance, they threw it away here?"
46796But is there any chance at all that it may pass by without striking?
46796But surely the precious belt is safe with all your things in the blockhouse?
46796But they would not know we were coming along here,interposed Bob;"and so, you see, how could they think to lay a plan like that?
46796But what are a few inches, when we will have to wait until it goes down six or more feet?
46796But what if his story should be true?
46796But what if those at the boat should n''t hear our signal, Pat?
46796But what of them?
46796But what will he do with all that meat; just eat the tongues?
46796But when will the water go down enough for us to cross over and find out the truth? 46796 But why did he not tell this before?"
46796But why should they be around here at all, when they know the hostility of the English settlers toward the French?
46796But, Bob, we must be very near the place where we always land when we come over to look after our traps?
46796But, Bob, what if we keep on floating all night? 46796 But, Bob, where could that boat have come from?
46796But, I wonder if Colonel Boone knew about such a thing as a flood when he led us to where the settlement now stands?
46796But, Pat,Bob continued,"of what danger was Blue Jacket about to warn our people?
46796But, if he is your friend, what was he creeping up to the door of your cabin for?
46796But, what good would that do us?
46796Can it be a sly trick on the part of Indians to keep our attention fastened on that boat while they slip up behind us?
46796Can we peep again, Pat?
46796Did you hear that?
46796Did you not suspect that your friend, Henri here, might have taken a notion to take the belt and hide it?
46796Did you see any Indians?
46796Did you see him do that job, and ai n''t he able to use that short bow better''n any Indian you ever met?
46796Do n''t you think either Bob or myself might get there ahead of them, if we went along the edge of the river? 46796 Do you mean Jacques Larue?"
46796Do you really think there''s any chance, then?
46796Do you see anything, Bob?
46796Do you think they are really coming?
46796Do you think we will have any trouble getting back to the other shore of the river, this afternoon?
46796For this old floating log, you mean?
46796For what would ye be sayin''the likes av that, sor?
46796Had n''t we better be backing out of this then, right away?
46796How do you think they knew we were there?
46796How does this suit you, Sandy?
46796How far below the camp do you think we are?
46796How far do you believe we will be from home when we get to land?
46796How is it at the cabin?
46796How is it, Sandy; are you all right?
46796How is your ankle going to hold out, Sandy?
46796How is your gun fixed now; are you sure that it will hold safe, even if we should knock up against another log?
46796How will that do, Henri,_ mon cher_?
46796I do n''t believe we are more than a single mile away from them now; is that so, Pat?
46796I wonder if the chief would feel like giving us another, in case he learned of our losing this one?
46796I wonder what I would have done without you?
46796I wonder what the Indians will think when they hear that volley?
46796I wonder who they could have been, Indians, or French trappers heading for the nearest trading post with their winter''s catch of pelts?
46796In what way, Pat?
46796It means that we will be attacked by a tribe of Indians we''ve never met before, does n''t it?
46796It''s already getting a little dim; do n''t you think, Bob?
46796Jerk it for winter use; d''ye mind?
46796Make the sun stand still, you mean, Sandy?
46796Now, here''s the arrow to which this message was fastened; and would n''t you say this one had been made by just the same cunning hand?
46796Perhaps they''ve already gone by?
46796Shall we push in closer?
46796Stuff for what?
46796That is no Shawanee arrow, Pat, I take it?
46796The signals, you mean, Pat?
46796Then do you hope to follow up the water, and get there ahead of them?
46796Then had we better take them along with us?
46796Then the falls are n''t so very high, after all?
46796Then you think our friends have escaped, do you, Pat?
46796There, does that fix it, Sandy? 46796 There, it is at the point where the outward sweep begins; but will such a big object be influenced by so small a change in the current?"
46796There, it must have been about where your hand is now; and-- why, what is that?
46796We do n''t want to lose our guns, to begin with; and, once we took to the water in that way, how could we hold on to them? 46796 Well, how do we know that yet?"
46796Well, what about some day?
46796Well, what do you say now, Jacques?
46796Were they leaving the settlement at the time this man saw them?
46796What ails you?
46796What are they talking about, Pat?
46796What brings you and Blue Jacket here, and on your way to our cabin, as I reckon you are from the way you head across the river?
46796What do you mean, Bob, and where did you get that second Delaware arrow?
46796What does all this mean, Kate?
46796What does he seem to say this time?
46796What happened?
46796What has happened to you, Pat?
46796What if they follow the boat down the river, and come on us when we are trying to get aboard?
46796What is Pat O''Mara talking so fiercely about?
46796What is it now, a tiger, a lion or an elephant?
46796What is it, mother?
46796What makes you say that, Bob?
46796What was that dropped down just beside you, Bob?
46796What''s that ye say; a wolf, is it?
46796What?
46796When was it that he saw them?
46796Who are you, and what ails you?
46796Why, look at that, will you?
46796Why, who do you take me for?
46796With the river booming bank- full, and the current as fierce as a wolf pack, how in the wide world would we ever manage to get across, Bob?
46796Yes, and then?
46796Yes, what do you think of it, Sandy?
46796Am I near it now?
46796And it is just the same kind of a boat, too, do n''t you think?"
46796And we have been no such time making this point; have we, Pat?"
46796And what would mother think?"
46796Are yees riddy?"
46796Armstrong?"
46796Armstrong?"
46796Be ye the Arrmstrong byes I''m afther hearin''out on this roarin'', tearin''flood this night?"
46796Bears can swim, all right, Bob; is n''t that so?"
46796Bob, what is that floating past yonder?
46796But how in the wide world do you suppose he came there; and why does n''t he swim ashore?
46796But just now I was wondering where he can be, and how he makes his way across from one side of the river to the other?"
46796But what brings her down in this country of the Mississippi?"
46796But where did you get this, father?"
46796But why, do you think, did no one answer our shouts back there?"
46796But, after all, he is only an Indian, and how can a white man understand his ways?
46796But, did you mean you thought the river could have risen enough, since we left, to carry it off?"
46796But, do you think they have drawn off, and mean to let us alone?"
46796CHAPTER VI SIMON GIRTY, THE RENEGADE"WHO are they, Pat?"
46796CHAPTER XXV THE PERIL OF KATE"WHAT have we here, Henri?"
46796CHAPTER XXVIII CREEPING UP ON THE QUARRY"ISN''T it a shame that we wo n''t be able to catch up with them before dark comes?"
46796Can it be some of our friends from above, brother?"
46796Chances are they would leave a broken arrow behind, or some feathers that were cast aside; and I do not see any such, do you?"
46796Did ye not notice the direction the bog trotters do be goin''?"
46796Did you see that savage fall when he fired?
46796Do you notice how he has drawn this big star close down to the level of the horizon?
46796Do you understand now, brother?"
46796Does that look as if he was a renegade, Pat?"
46796Have the Indians again taken to the warpath, after their professions of peace, and after saying that the hatchet was buried ever so deep?"
46796His father, mother, sister and brother were going along; and what need then to feel distressed?
46796If he could do this, what was to prevent a dozen, or fifty, of his kind from accomplishing the same thing?
46796Is that all plain to you, Sandy?"
46796Is that what you figure on, Pat?"
46796Is there anything wrong, do you think, about that answer to our shouts?
46796It would be dark before three hours, and then how could they overtake the Frenchmen, who, given such a long start, would get beyond their reach?
46796It''s harrd, I do be understandin''; but what''s the use thryin''to smash your head ag''inst a stone wall?
46796Ready, Sandy?
46796Tell me what worries you?"
46796There may be plenty of game away out there, and lots of fur- bearing animals; but what do we know about the new dangers that we are apt to face?
46796Was this some friend of the prisoners, and did he mean to try to effect their release?
46796What could we have done to deserve such kindness, such faithfulness?"
46796What does it mean, do you think, and who can he be?"
46796What would they do with her?
46796Where was it you saw the nut fall, Sandy?
46796Where were you when they caught you; and how is it you did not call out?"
46796Why should a Delaware want to do us a good turn; tell me that, Bob?"
46796Would n''t we have given the wretches a scare, though, Bob?"
46796You remember what mother told us, Sandy?"
46796but how could Blue Jacket learn about that, when it must be many miles up the river, and coming much faster than any Indian could run?"
46796do you mean to say that something might have happened to Kate?"
46796echoed Sandy;"from the buffalo?"
46796has anything terrible happened to father and mother, that we find you like this?"
46796he cried,"and who would be afther expectin''to say a Delaware brave as far away from his home country as this wan?"
46796he shouted a little later,"what can that be on the big log out yonder?
46796how can we warn them?"
46796how could that be?"
46796how could that be?"
46796murmured Bob;"what could they want there?"
46796what if, after all, we should have the great good luck to meet the robbers some fine day; would n''t we demand that they return our property, though?
46796where do you think he could have found it?"
46796where will we find our mother and father; can you direct us, sir?"
46796will the old river ever go down again, so that we can reach the door and know the worst?"
46796will we have to abandon our fine flatboat there, and take up the journey on foot?"
6813A flint?
6813And how far do you think you are from the Cold Springs?
6813And is not this our own creek?
6813And now, Hec, what is to be done? 6813 And shall we have a sail as well as oars?"
6813And we should never want for meat, if we could catch a fine fawn from time to time, ma belle.--Hec, what are you thinking of?
6813Are my white brothers afraid to die?
6813But how are we to get them out of it?
6813But how shall we cook the bird and the eggs? 6813 But how?"
6813But stay, cousin, you are sure my mother gave her consent to my going? 6813 But when shall we come to the Beaver Meadow?"
6813But where is Louis, dear Louis, our nephew, where is he?
6813But where is Mathilde?
6813But, Hector, do you really think there is no chance of finding our way back to Cold Springs? 6813 But, Hector, if the savages should see you, and take you prisoner,"said Catharine,"what would you do?"
6813Can you receive me and those I have with me for the night?
6813Do you remember what a quantity of large fish bones we found in the eagle''s nest on the top of our hill, Louis?
6813Do you remember,said Catharine,"the fine pink mussel- shell that Hec picked up in the little corn- field last year?
6813How came you to see them?
6813How came you to think that such is her intention?
6813How can she, unprotected and alone, dare such perils? 6813 How can you sew it together, cousin?"
6813How many passengers is it to accommodate, my dear?
6813I give up all hope? 6813 I have here my trusty knife; what is there to hinder us from constructing a vessel capable of holding water, a gallon if you like?"
6813If they should prove to be any of your father''s people, or a friendly tribe, would you go away with them?
6813Is it to be like the big sap- trough in the sugar- bush at home?
6813It is worth nothing now,she said, sighing;"and what am I to do when my gown is worn out?
6813Jacob, did ye ken that we lost our eldest bairns some three summers since?
6813Jacob, is this possible? 6813 Louis, what are you cutting out of that bit OF wood?"
6813May the daughter of the Bald Eagle''s enemy speak to her great father?
6813Must this sweet new- blown rose find such a winter Before her spring be past?
6813On fire, Hector? 6813 Stay a moment, Monsieur Hec; what do you call this?"
6813The Indians?
6813Was that when you well- nigh roasted the bear?
6813Well, if that is safe, who cares? 6813 What aileth thee, wee dearie?"
6813What are you about, Louis?
6813What are you taking the axe for, Hector? 6813 What is she doing?"
6813What makes Hec so grave?
6813What shall we do for clothes?
6813Where? 6813 Who should have taught her?
6813Who told your father all these things, Hec?
6813Who would have thought of meeting with the children of my old comrade here at the shore of the Rice Lake? 6813 Who would imagine that it is now more than a month since we lost Catharine?"
6813Why so, ma belle?
6813Why, Louis, how is this? 6813 Why, Louis, whither away?"
6813Why, man, what ails you? 6813 You are very ingenious, no doubt, Monsieur Louis; but where are you to get the cloth and the hoop, and the means of sewing it on?"
6813And did they take him prisoner?"
6813And now arose the question,"Where are we?
6813Are ye not much better than they?''
6813But what can we do?
6813But why is it hushed again?
6813Can it be the Ontario, or is it the Rice Lake?
6813Can it be?--what is it that she sees?
6813Can yonder shores be those of the Americans, or are they the hunting- grounds of the dreaded Indians?"
6813Catharine, in tears, cast her arms round her disinterested friend and remained weeping: how could she accept this great sacrifice?
6813Do you remember when the forest was on fire last spring how long it continued to burn and how fiercely it raged?
6813Do you think that Hector or Louis would abandon you in your helpless state, to die of hunger or thirst, or to be torn by wolves or bears?
6813Do your young hearts yearn after the hearth of your childhood?"''
6813Had the Indians also captured her friends?
6813Have we not heard fearful tales of their cruelty?"
6813His hapless victim moved not:--whither could she flee to escape one whose fleet foot could so easily have overtaken her in the race?
6813How many are ye in all?"
6813How should she find words to soften the heart of her murderess?
6813Is it the death- song of the captive girl bound to that fearful stake?
6813Jacob had a hundred questions to ask-- Where were their parents?
6813Now, look at the lighting up of that hill; is it not grand?"
6813Now, where are these to be met with?"
6813Others had succeeded, had formed little colonies, and become the heads of villages in due time; why should not they?
6813Shall I tell you about it?
6813Shall she be thus, And I draw in soft slumbers?"
6813So I have heard my father say; and surely our father knows, for is he not a wise man, Hector?"
6813Was there no hope of release?
6813We have an axe and a tomahawk,--what should hinder us from making one like it?"
6813What had she done?--what dared?
6813What is he doing?"
6813What lake is this?
6813What will not time and the industry of man, assisted by the blessing of a merciful God, effect?
6813Why did she not tell us?
6813Why should not we be able to find subsistence as well as the wild Indians?"
6813Why should we be more stupid than these untaught heathens?
6813Would it not be charming, ma belle?"
6813Wrapped in their warm furs, with caps fastened closely over their ears, what cared they for the cold?
6813You remember the pleasant spot, which we named the Happy Valley, where the bright creek runs dancing along so merrily, below the pine- ridge?"
6813after the fur was all singed?"
6813did they live on the Plains now?
6813do you think she would risk the vengeance of the old chief whose life she attempted to take?"
6813how came you hither, and for what purpose?"
6813how long was it since they had left the Cold Springs?
6813if we were to lose you, what would become of us?"
6813is it a bear, wolf, or catamount that is on your trail?"
6813or was she alone to be the victim of their vengeance?
6813there is a rustling among the leaves; what strange creature works its way to the shore?
6813was not that the ox- bell?
6813were there any more little ones?
6813what had been her crime?
6813what is to become of me?
6813what makes you run as if you were hunted down by a pack of wolves?"
6813what?"
6813where conceal herself from him whose wary eye fixed upon her seemed to deprive her of all vital energy?
6479Ah, dear nurse, where did you get them? 6479 And are there many woods near it?"
6479And did the hunter take her home?
6479And has it a funny face and ears too, nurse?
6479And is the rice good to eat, nurse?
6479And what became of this nice fellow, nurse?
6479And what do the beavers make dams with, nurse?
6479And what is the Indian name for Old Snow- storm?
6479And where is Coburg, nurse? 6479 Are there any beavers in England, nurse?"
6479Are there any other kinds of snakes in Canada, nurse,asked Lady Mary,"besides the garter- snake?"
6479Are there any other wild fruits, nurse, besides raspberries and strawberries, and currants and gooseberries?
6479Are there many kinds of maple- trees, that sugar can be made from, nurse?
6479Are there many sorts of wild fruits fit to eat, nurse, in this country? 6479 Are there no more flowers in bloom now, nurse?"
6479But what is this odd- looking, black thing here? 6479 But you did not eat our parents too?"
6479Can otters swim, nurse?
6479Can squirrels swim like otters and beavers, nurse? 6479 Can the moon make rainbows at night?"
6479Dear nurse, why does my little squirrel tremble and look so unhappy? 6479 Dear nurse, will you tell me anything more about birds and flowers to- day?"
6479Did you ever hear of any little boy or girl having been carried off by a wolf or bear?
6479Did you ever see a tame fawn?
6479Did you kill them?
6479Did you notice, Lady Mary, how the dormice held their food?
6479Do people see the birds flying away together, nurse?
6479Do the beavers sleep in the winter time, nurse?
6479Do you know any other pretty flowers, nurse?
6479Do you think it was a rattlesnake, nurse?
6479Does God sow the seeds in the new ground?
6479Does it prick one''s finger like a thistle?
6479Does the Canadian robin come into the house in winter, and pick up the crumbs, as the dear little redbreasts do at home?
6479Have you ever seen their nests, nurse?
6479How could the bear have got into the stack of wheat, nurse?
6479How does it make that whirring noise, nurse, just like the humming of a top?
6479How long will the winter last, nurse?
6479I did not think, nurse, that wild strawberries could have been so fine as these; may I taste them?
6479I suppose, nurse, when they awake, they are glad to eat some of the food they hare laid up in their granaries?
6479I think, sometimes, I ought not to keep my dear squirrel in a cage-- shall I let him go?
6479I wonder where you were brought up?
6479I wonder who taught the Indians how to make maple- sugar?
6479If you please, nurse, will you tell me what these dark shining seeds are?
6479Is it a book, my lady?
6479Is the racoon a pretty creature like my squirrel?
6479Is this all you know about fawns, nurse?
6479Mrs. Frazer, are you very busy just now?
6479My book is only a fable then, nurse? 6479 Now, nurse, will you tell me some more about Jacob Snow- storm and the otters?"
6479Nurse how can beavers cut down trees; they have neither axes nor saws?
6479Nurse, can people eat musk- rats?
6479Nurse, did you ever see a tame beaver?
6479Nurse, do not beavers, and otters, and muskrats feel cold while living in the water; and do they not get wet?
6479Nurse, do you know the names of these pretty starry flowers on this little branch, that look so light and pretty?
6479Nurse, how can they see to eat in the dark?
6479Nurse, is there real rice growing in the Rice Lake? 6479 Nurse, please can you tell me anything about fawns?
6479Nurse, please will you tell me something about tortoises and porcupines?
6479Nurse, what is the name of that pretty creature you have in your hand? 6479 Nurse, when you see any of these curious flowers, will you show them to me?"
6479Nurse, where did you get these nice strawberries?
6479Nurse, will you be so kind as to ask Campbell to get a pretty cage for my squirrel? 6479 Nurse, will you tell me something about birds''nests, and what they make them of?"
6479Nurse,said Lady Mary,"did you ever hear of any one having been eaten by a wolf or bear?"
6479Of what use is the dam, nurse?
6479Please tell me what a stoup is, nurse?
6479Please, Mrs. Frazer, will you tell me what sort of trees hemlocks are? 6479 Please, Mrs. Frazer, will you tell me which flowers will be first in bloom?"
6479Please, nurse, tell me of what colours real porcupine quills are?
6479Stop, nurse, and tell me why they are called black and white; are the flowers black and white?
6479That must be very useful; but if the sap is sweet, how can it be made into such sour stuff as vinegar?
6479This embroidered knife- sheath is large enough for a hunting- knife,said Lady Mary,"a''_ couteau de chasse_,''--is it not?"
6479What are Pagans, nurse?
6479What are wigwams?
6479What became of them, nurse?
6479What colour are the Canadian robins, nurse?
6479What colour was the snake, my dear?
6479What do you mean by the fall, nurse?
6479What do you want more, my dear children,said their mother,"than you enjoy here?
6479What is migrating, nurse; is it the same as emigrating?
6479What shall we do for supper to- night?
6479What was that for, nurse? 6479 Which is the nearest way to the mill?"
6479Who calls them all to build their winter houses?
6479You do not think it was cruel, nurse, to kill the snake?
6479*****"Nurse, I am glad Silvy went away with Nimble, are not you?
6479*****"Nurse,"said Lady Mary,"how do you like the story?"
6479Are there many squirrels in this part of Canada?"
6479Are there not moss, dried grass, and roots beneath, to make a soft bed for you to lie upon?
6479Are they pretty creatures, and can they be tamed; or are they fierce, wild little things?"
6479But why would biting out the eye prevent the grain from growing?"
6479Can you tell me what birds they were?"
6479Can you tell us where we shall find them?"
6479Did you ever know any one who was eaten by a wolf?"
6479Do the black squirrels sleep in the winter as well as the flying squirrels and chitmunks?"
6479Do you see that red squirrel yonder, climbing the hemlock- tree?
6479Do you want me to do anything for you?"
6479I have seen acorns at home in dear England and Scotland, and I have eaten the hickory- nuts here; but what is beech- mast?
6479I should like to have a tame otter to play with, and run after me; but do you think he would eat my squirrel?
6479I wish there were maples in the garden, and I would make sugar, molasses, wine, and vinegar; and what else would I do with my maple- tree?"
6479If they come to a lake or river, can they cross it?"
6479If you please, will you tell me something about it, and why it is called by such a curious name?"
6479Is it a dried fish?
6479Is it a large city like Montreal or Quebec?"
6479Is it a little beaver?"
6479Is it''Little Red Riding Hood,''or''Old Mother Hubbard,''or''Jack the Giant Killer?''"
6479It must be a black bass?
6479It would have killed me if it had bitten me, would it not, nurse?"
6479Looking at the honeysuckles,--I dare say it thought them very pretty; or was it smelling them?
6479Nurse, please tell me what are sleigh- robes made of?"
6479Nurse, what is a fawn?"
6479Oh, Miss Campbell, what shall we do?"
6479Papa and mamma are going away from Government House, and I am to return to the old country with them; I am so glad, are not you?"
6479Please, will you tell me all that you know about them?"
6479Then Lady Mary brought a print and showed it to her nurse, saying,"Nurse, is the porcupine like this picture?"
6479Was not that good, nurse?"
6479Was not the Major naughty to say so?"
6479Were you ever in the green forest, nurse?
6479Were you ever there?"
6479What do you think it was, nurse?"
6479What do you think the beaver had done?
6479What is it?"
6479What was it doing?
6479Where do otters live?"
6479Why did they not carry it at once to their nests?"
6479Why does he not lie down and sleep on the nice soft bed you have made for him in his little chamber?
6479and do not the boughs drop down a plentiful store of brown ripe acorns?
6479can you tell me?"
6479dear nurse, what can it be?"
6479did you find real hare- bells, such as grow on the bonny Highland hills among the heather?
6479do bears eat raspberries?"
6479said the child, after she had tired herself with looking at the prints;"a long, long time-- a great many weeks?--a great many months?"
15958''Mad is he?'' 15958 A quel regiment?"
15958A white man? 15958 And have you other news besides?"
15958And how come you to this wild spot in the heart of these forests, and with warfare all around?
15958And in yours, too?
15958And our own vessels,asked the Abbe--"what of them?
15958And then?
15958And then?
15958And what matters the end if we do our duty to the last?
15958And what said he?
15958And what said your wife and daughter to such a move?
15958And what says he?
15958And will you remain within the walls of Quebec yourself, my dear Marquis? 15958 And you are hopeful that he will?"
15958And you had no escort?
15958Are the two gentlemen here?
15958Are they not brave, these English?
15958Are you Rogers''men?
15958Are you men? 15958 Are you not glad, mother mine?"
15958Are you the great Rogers himself?
15958Are you then French?
15958Are you then going back to England?
15958But did not the General strive to rally them?
15958But tell me, does he leave behind many to mourn him? 15958 But tell us, fair lady, how comes it that you are here alone in the forest?
15958But what is our General doing?
15958But why speak you so, as though you would see them no more? 15958 But you will not get killed?"
15958But your life was spared?
15958Can you do nothing?
15958Can you remember the holy man?
15958Can you tell me aught of the Rangers?
15958Captain Dautray, can you help us in this matter? 15958 Captain Jacobs?"
15958Colin, do you hear-- do you understand? 15958 Colin, my boy, is that thou?
15958Do they think French soldiers are the only ones who can fight?
15958Do you grenadiers suppose that you can beat the French single- handed?
15958Do you know how many were slain?
15958Do you remember what you told us when we met in the forest long ago?
15958Do you think the tide has turned against the French arms?
15958For the moment-- yes,answered Fritz;"but what of afterwards?"
15958From Indians? 15958 From the land of the far south-- from the rolling plains of the giant Mississippi, that vast river of which perchance you have heard?"
15958Had he ever been there before?
15958Has Mr. Pitt named me as likely for this service?
15958Have I not told you before? 15958 Have they the power to do so?"
15958Have we not yet had enough of procrastination?
15958Have you been wounded, sir?
15958Have you not heard of Robert Rogers, the New Hampshire Ranger? 15958 Have you seen the abattis?"
15958He knows, then?
15958How came they to be taken?
15958How goes the battle? 15958 How many ships have they in the harbour?"
15958How will it end? 15958 Humphrey, is that you?"
15958I am not wrong, am I, sirs? 15958 I look like a man to perform the impossible, do n''t I, good Stark?"
15958If so, how come you to speak mine own tongue as you do?
15958In spite of my cropped red head and lanky limbs? 15958 Is Canada weak then?"
15958Is he then wounded?
15958Is it dangerous?
15958Is it indeed you? 15958 Is it so in very truth?
15958Is not that so, Kate?
15958Is that poor fellow mad?
15958Is that so?
15958Is the General yet living?
15958It may be so, it may be so; yet who can tell? 15958 Kate, do you love me?"
15958My blunder?
15958Nay, why think that?
15958No; what story?
15958O Colin, Colin, when did you come, and whence?
15958O Colin, what have you seen?
15958O Fritz, Fritz, do n''t you understand yet what a woman''s love is like? 15958 O mother, what can it be?
15958Of course we will take you, Mademoiselle Corinne,cried Paul, with boyish gallantry;"why should you not see as well as we?
15958Old Killick roared out after a bit,''Has that confounded French pilot done bragging yet?'' 15958 Pleased that your country should do you this great honour?
15958Qui vive?
15958Resolute men have done wonders before now in such a charge, and why not we tomorrow?
15958So soon?
15958Spoke Sir Charles such words of me?
15958Susanna, will you be brave enough for this? 15958 The English have always been masters of the sea; have they not won themselves the name of''sea dogs''and''sea rovers''even from their enemies?
15958The fortress is ready to capitulate?
15958Then he thinks the cause is lost?
15958Then is General Amherst on his way here with his army?
15958Then the fight is not yet over?
15958Then were your forefathers French subjects?
15958They were,said the lady, with a sigh;"and yet can we wonder so greatly?
15958They will furnish money now; but what can be done with the winter just upon us? 15958 Was he one of the attacking party that desolated your homestead?"
15958Was that long ago?
15958We have done what men can do,said Captain Pringle to his friends Fritz and Roche;"but where are we now?
15958We have no enemies; why should we fear?
15958We have; but where is the General to lead us? 15958 What are our guns doing that they do not open fire and dislodge them?"
15958What do they think soldiers are for, if not to do their duty in the teeth of danger and difficulty? 15958 What do you expect me to say to that?
15958What else can I think? 15958 What happened?"
15958What have you heard, Charles, and where?
15958What is all the stir about, mother?
15958What is it they are saying all around?
15958What is it?
15958What is it?
15958What is the General doing over yonder? 15958 What is the matter?"
15958What said the Governor?
15958What say you? 15958 What think you, Corinne?
15958What think you, my young friends? 15958 What words?"
15958What would those raw lads from New Jersey do if suddenly confronted by a crew of yelling Indians? 15958 What, then, is to be done?"
15958When left you London? 15958 When was it, Charles?
15958Where am I-- what is it?
15958Where are Mrs. Ashley and Susanna to be found?
15958Where are we?
15958Where could any army hope to land along this northern shore? 15958 Where is the Governor?
15958Where is the Governor?
15958Where is the Marquis of Montcalm? 15958 Which is the house of Captain Jacobs?"
15958Who speaks of Quebec?
15958Who was it that spoke to me?
15958Who will go up to battle against this proud foe?
15958Why must men stand up to kill and be killed? 15958 Why must these things be?"
15958Why not divide our forces?
15958Why not, indeed?
15958Why not, indeed?
15958Why was I not here to fight and to die?
15958Will England never learn the lesson which her reverses should have taught her? 15958 Will not the town batteries sink them like logs as they pass?"
15958Will they accept?
15958Would you care so much, so much, were I to find a soldier''s grave?
15958Yes,said the Abbe--"that sounds a wise and wary policy; but will the Canadian militia be patient and obedient during the long period of inaction?
15958You are Captain Rogers?
15958You are better, Monsieur?
15958You are from Captain Rogers?
15958You are not wounded yourself?
15958You are not wounded, Humphrey?
15958You are pleased with all this, my Kate?
15958You have heard them speak of the Traverse, and what a difficult place it is to navigate?
15958You have not heard the strange story, then?
15958You have seen Julian Dautray, my friend and comrade who sailed away to England several years since on an embassy from the town of Philadelphia? 15958 You have seen him, then?"
15958You know Quebec, Madame?
15958You remember that day in the forest, Corinne, and how we were protected by English Rangers from hurt?
15958You remember the big, tall Ranger, whose name was Fritz?
15958You saw all that?
15958You think it can not be done, my friends? 15958 You think that?"
15958You think, then, that no British ship can pass the guns of the town?
15958You will come back, Julian? 15958 You will not run into peril yourself, my brother?"
15958You wo n''t surrender, eh?
15958You would not have us value our lives above the safety of our distressed brethren or the honour of our nation? 15958 ), you will not come back alone?
15958After a brief pause he recommenced in more rapid tones:"Why prolong the tale?
15958After all, if Quebec were to fall to such gallant foes, would she suffer much after the first shock was over?
15958Again there was silence, which Mrs. Schuyler broke by asking gently:"And your father thinks that there is some doom connected with that name?"
15958Ah, why can we not live at peace and concord with our brothers?
15958Am I not as much English as French?
15958And did he make no mistake?
15958And does not Wolfe say that, when once we get a footing on the shore, we will not leave till Louisbourg is ours?"
15958And had he not risked his life more than once that night to save those left on board the vessels?
15958And have they not reason to fear-- they who have done so ignobly?"
15958And how came that about?
15958And if England''s flag should one day wave over the fortress of Quebec, as it now does over that of Louisbourg, what is that to me?
15958And if so, why should not I be one to take up my abode?"
15958And if there, why not over Quebec itself?"
15958And is it yet known there whether this rumour of fresh disaster is true?
15958And now that the fulfilment seems so near, shall we not feel grateful to those who held out the torch of hope when all was darkness?"
15958And what did the pilot say?"
15958And why should they not?
15958And yet what think you of this?
15958And yet with all this, how are you to get into Quebec?
15958And, Julian( am I wrong in thinking it?
15958Another pause, another murmur like a roar, and a voice from the crowd was raised to ask:"And what says the Assembly to that?"
15958Are they baiting the Governor again?
15958Are they having another fight about the taxes?"
15958Are they here, and unhurt of the Indians?"
15958Are they not like fiery dragons spouting out sheets of fire?
15958Are they not like live things?
15958Are we not here to take vengeance upon those who have been treacherous foes, and shamed the Christian profession that they make?
15958Are we not strong and full of courage, seasoned to hardship, expert in our way with gun or axe?
15958Are we to let our province become overrun and despoiled by hordes of savage Indians, or are we to rise like men and sweep them back whence they came?
15958Are you blind with the smoke, my friend?
15958Besides, how can we trust an army which has basely deserted us once?
15958Besides, why should he be suspected?
15958But I can not look for an answer for long; and meantime are all our helpless settlers in the west to be butchered?
15958But how was it going with the others?
15958But how will you be able to undergo all that fatigue, and the perils and sufferings of another voyage?
15958But in these troublous times who can tell whether the messenger ever reached his destination?"
15958But the Marquis-- how goes it with him?"
15958But was the fire directed only at the opposite heights?
15958But what avail against scores of such foes?
15958But what can we do to save it, threatened as we are now by the English fleet in the great St. Lawrence itself?"
15958But what can we do?
15958But what matter if they do?
15958But what was the meaning of that crowd of boats all making for the city as fast as oars and sails could bring them?
15958But where are the prisoners?"
15958But why hark back to the past?
15958But would the gunners in Quebec see them?
15958But, Corinne, are you weeping because the English are about to take Quebec?
15958Can it be true that the French permitted such abominations?
15958Can nothing be done to stop that?
15958Can we ask a nobler death?
15958Can you give us shelter by your hearth tonight?
15958Can you help us?''
15958Can you make up your mind to be a soldier''s wife, even before the war has closed?
15958Can you secure for us a passage in one of your many noble ships so soon to return?
15958Colin, art thou sure?"
15958Corinne listened to all this with a beating heart, and asked of her aunt:"What think you that they will first do-- the English, I mean?"
15958Do not our wounded as well as your own bless the sight of your face and the sound of your voice amongst them?"
15958Do you think He desires to see a repetition of such scenes as that?"
15958Do you think Miss Lowther will ever love again?
15958Do you think something can have happened again?"
15958Does anybody know how they scalp their prisoners?
15958Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life-- is not that written in the Scriptures?
15958Governor or General-- Vaudreuil or Montcalm?
15958Had not Louisbourg said the same, and yet had fallen before English hardihood and resolution?
15958Had the English got their artillery up to those inaccessible heights?
15958Had there been another massacre, such as had disgraced the struggle at Fort William Henry?
15958Had they been discovered, and were the Indians coming out in a body against them?
15958Had they not all prayed together, after the godly habit of the household, upon the very morning when this awful disaster fell upon them?
15958Had you escaped the perils of the war?
15958Had you not heard?
15958Has he a wife in England?"
15958Has he parents living, or sisters and brothers, or one nearer and dearer still?
15958Has human blood been spilt?"
15958Has not Fort Duquesne been abandoned before the advancing foe?
15958Has not Fort Frontenac fallen?
15958Has not that been proved a thousand times on European soil?
15958Have I not English-- or Scotch-- blood in my veins?
15958Have fresh tidings been received?
15958Have they really left us in possession of the battery?
15958Have we not deserved it?
15958Have we not twice the force of the English?
15958Have you lost aught beside?
15958Have you seen fighting, friends?
15958He knew that these brave men could fight like tigers; but to what avail, he thought, were so many gallant soldiers to be sent to their death?
15958His voice, his words, his phraseology seemed in some sort strange, and he asked him wonderingly:"From whence are you, friends?"
15958How came you here?
15958How have things been going in the town since I was laid by the heels?"
15958How long was it to continue?
15958How long will it be before the reign of the Prince of Peace, when all these things shall be done away?"
15958How will they like the long imprisonment in the camp, without being brought face to face with the foe?
15958I may sit with you at the supper table, may I not, mother?"
15958If I might make bold to ask you of yourself, how comes it that an English girl is in such a wild spot as this, and amid the soldiers of France?"
15958If an enemy could do this in a single night, what might they not have the power of achieving?
15958If this was the spirit which animated the English fleet, what might not be the next move?
15958Is he still in this new world beyond the dividing sea?"
15958Is he well?
15958Is it not like some wild diabolic carnival?
15958Is it true that Fort William Henry has fallen?"
15958Is little Susanna actually here in Quebec?"
15958Is that you I see?
15958It would be the greater glory to vanquish it single- handed; and had they not Wolfe to lead them?
15958Julian looked at the gaunt, prostrate form of the soldier, and said gravely:"But you are surely in no fit state for military service?"
15958Men have banded themselves together for this work before now; why may not we do the like?"
15958Next moment the challenge rang out:"Qui vive?"
15958Or will she go mourning all the days of her life for him whom she has lost?"
15958Our Marquis is a brave soldier and an able General; but what can one man do?
15958Saw you ever such soldiers as these?"
15958Say, Susanna, what sort of a welcome will you have for me, when I come to claim it after my duty is done?"
15958Shall not deeds like these bring about a stern retaliation?
15958Shall we pity or spare when we remember what they have done?
15958She has claimed half the world as her own; will she lose all for the sake of some petty quarrel with her neighbours?"
15958Six months to wait?
15958So you have been within the walls of the town, and have returned safe and sound?
15958Suppose you had been found out?"
15958Surely the French troops would face peril as steadily if they were put to it?"
15958Tell me, Julian, are they in need of food or wine or any such thing within the walls?
15958Tell me, how goes it?"
15958Tell us-- did Fort William Henry surrender?"
15958That is Scripture law, is it?
15958The men shook hands with a hearty grip, and one said to Humphrey:"You have had Indians here?"
15958The next moment he gave a great start, and held out his hands in a gesture of amazement,"What-- who-- how-- is it a ghost I see?"
15958There was no fierceness in his strange face today, and Corinne, looking after him, said wonderingly:"Who is he?
15958They had lived there for ten years unmolested and at peace; who would care to molest them now?
15958Think you that you can take a letter safely to him?
15958To which scale will victory incline, think you, Monsieur?
15958Was it a cheer or a groan which arose from the town as the symbol of surrender was seen floating above the battlements?
15958Was it not of that projected march upon Quebec?"
15958Was that the thought in your mind, John Stark?"
15958Were their ears deceiving them?
15958Were these vast solitudes too far away for God to hear the prayers that went up from them?
15958Were you the only twain that desired to join the fight?"
15958Were you with him when he died?"
15958What English ship ever feared to pass a French battery yet?
15958What about old Killick?
15958What answer could he make?
15958What answer shall we return to our high- minded adversary?"
15958What boots the victory we have gained here, if it be not the stepping stone to lead us to Quebec?"
15958What can it be?
15958What can she do for us here out in the western wilds?
15958What does it all mean?
15958What does the Governor?
15958What was it they saw?
15958What was the parent country going to do for her Western children in their hour of need and extremity?
15958What was the word which I heard you speak as I entered?
15958What would be the next tidings which would reach them of their brethren in arms?
15958What, dost thou want to come with me?
15958What, then, were they doing, hurrying back in their boats like hunted hares?
15958When are these notable fire ships to be sent forth?"
15958When do we sail?
15958When have the English ever fled like this before us?
15958When was it?"
15958Where are all the rest from your smiling valley of the south?
15958Where are you?
15958Where had he heard those words, and when?
15958Where is Bougainville?
15958Who are the Penns these proprietaries-- that their lands should be exempt from taxation?
15958Who are you, and whence do you come?
15958Who do you think has come to Quebec?
15958Who is he, and why is his name in all men''s mouths?"
15958Who was speaking to her?
15958Who was to blame?
15958Who''s got a tomahawk?
15958Why did not the Governor leave a stronger force over yonder to protect us?"
15958Why do we do everything a month or more too late?
15958Why do you try to break my heart?"
15958Why does he not take steps for our defence?"
15958Why had Point Levi been so poorly defended?
15958Why had it been left such an easy prey to the foe?
15958Why not be a party of bold Rangers, scouring the forests, and doing whatever work comes to hand?
15958Why not form ourselves into a band of Rangers?
15958Why not let him choose a comrade, and go thither with letters and messages, and tell his tale in the ears of friends?
15958Why should we give up the city because a few hundred soldiers have been slain upon the Plains of Abraham?
15958Why should we lie idle here all the long winter through?
15958Why should we not at least cut our way out to the free forest, if we can not rout the enemy and drive them back whence they came?"
15958Will any naval battle he attempted?"
15958Will the flag of England displace that of France over the town and fortress of this city of Quebec?"
15958Will you serve your distressed brethren better as Rangers of the forest, or as emissaries to England?"
15958With whom are you talking there?"
15958Wolfe raised his head, and asked, with something of the old ring in his voice:"Who run?"
15958Would the Governor grant them an experienced officer to lead them?
15958Would we have been as forbearing-- as stern in the maintenance of order and discipline?
15958You can all use snowshoes, I see, and doubtless skates also?"
15958You will come back?"
15958You will go and tell them your story, Humphrey?"
15958You will keep a place in your heart still for the rough Ranger Fritz?"
15958You will not forget us when we are gone, Susanna?
15958You would not have us hold back, if we can help to bring back the lustre of that name?
15958You would not hurt a maiden who trusts your chivalry and honour?"
15958and how quickly would it arrive?
15958and how?"
15958and were you here in the town also?"
15958and where shall we go when we get there?"
15958and where were you all the while?"
15958are you soldiers?
15958asked Charles once again;"how did I come to be hurt?"
15958asked Corinne;"are you not born in these lands of the West?"
15958cried Peter, waving his cap;"did we not say that the Frenchies would make a mess of it?
15958cried a voice from within, whilst Jack doubled himself up in a paroxysm of delight,"what are you saying so loud and free?
15958cried the midshipmen, when Colin told them what he had heard;"do they think to frighten English mariners with fireworks and bonfires?
15958d''ye think I''m going to take orders from a dog of a Frenchman, and aboard my own vessel, too?
15958did I not say so?"
15958exclaimed Colin, as he prepared to sail back to the dark city,"I wonder if he has seen the fate of his vaunted fire ships?"
15958have we not brought ruin upon our own heads by the wickedness and cruelty we have made our allies?
15958he asked, in a weak voice;"and how many are there of us?"
15958he exclaimed;"surely we are going forward to Quebec?"
15958he said;"is one of you that notable man himself?"
15958how fatal?"
15958how is it with our General?"
15958how were you?
15958how will it end?"
15958is that truly so?
15958oh, is it so?"
15958or had the flitting sails been seen, and would the iron rain pour upon the gallant vessels making the daring passage?
15958or is it true what I hear-- that your headquarters will be with the camp at Beauport?"
15958sighed the Abbe; and after a pause of musing he added,"Is he conscious?"
15958they will not give up Quebec without a struggle?
15958what are you two fighting about so hotly?"
15958what did he do?"
15958what do you think?
15958what if they do conquer?
15958what is hardship?
15958what is that?"
15958who goes there?"
1239Ai n''t she a prize?
1239Already up to your old tricks?
1239And the missionaries?
1239And you are a preacher?
1239And you''ve been following us?
1239Are all these Indians Christians?
1239Are n''t you sorry you-- you treated me so?
1239Are we near enough?
1239Are you a Christian?
1239Are you all right again?
1239Are you angry with him?
1239Are you mad with me yet?
1239Are you? 1239 Benny?
1239Bess, is dinner ready?
1239Brothers, I reckon?
1239But might he not fall out and drown?
1239But what''s the trouble?
1239But why? 1239 But-- you are angry with-- me?"
1239Ca n''t that Indian move?
1239Ca n''t you tell us what it means-- this disappearance?
1239Can we do nothing?
1239Chief, what will you do?
1239Coast clear?
1239Could Jim Girty have gotten your girl?
1239D''ye hear, scalp- hunter? 1239 D''ye hear?"
1239Dave, Dave, how is it with you?
1239Did he hit?
1239Did he rise to a bug?
1239Did he see you?
1239Did n''t I hear a third shot?
1239Did n''t you-- say so?
1239Did that fool say I did n''t love you?
1239Did ye knock any redskins over?
1239Did you ever hear the like? 1239 Did you hear of his death?"
1239Did you hear what Silvertip said, and did you notice the effect it had?
1239Did you hev time to bury them?
1239Did you see any?'' 1239 Did you see anything of another band of Indians?
1239Did your brother marry an Indian?
1239Do n''t you ever think we-- we wronged him?
1239Do they? 1239 Do we get out here?"
1239Do we travel by night?
1239Do you ever feel this stillness?
1239Do you forbid it?
1239Do you not fear for those with you?
1239Do you think he''d take me out? 1239 Do you think we are in danger?"
1239Do? 1239 Does a wolf befriend Girty''s captives?
1239Does n''t Joe look splendid in his hunting suit?
1239Does their absence signify ill to the Village of Peace?
1239Ever handle the long rifle?
1239Ever see me afore? 1239 Ever shoot anythin''?"
1239For what?
1239George, where are you going with that gun?
1239Girty, do you mean us any ill will?
1239Glickhican, can you tell me why no Indians have come here lately?
1239Go away?
1239Good fer it?
1239Has Wetzel come in since?
1239Has Wetzel come in with Nell? 1239 Has the Shawnee anythin''ag''inst you boys?"
1239Have the Jesuit missionaries accomplished anything with these war tribes?
1239Have you a rifle for Wetzel? 1239 Have you trifled with her, as you have with so many others?
1239Having conquered all other obstacles, must we fail because of wicked men of our own race? 1239 He did?"
1239He is in authority here, ai n''t he?
1239Hear ye got ketched by some Shawnees?
1239Heckewelder, tell us?
1239Heckewelder?
1239Hev you seen Wetzel?
1239Hold the service? 1239 Hope?
1239How can they be so inhuman?
1239How can we tell which one?
1239How d''you know? 1239 How did you find us?"
1239How did you get on with the boys?
1239How do you know they''ve passed?
1239How far have we come to- day?
1239How is George?
1239How is George?
1239How is he?
1239How is she?
1239How long do you intend to be absent?
1239How long have you been here, Colonel Zane?
1239How long have you been out?
1239How long will it take me to learn the Delaware language?
1239How soon, Winds, can we set off?
1239How will we ever get across that big river?
1239How''d ye wake up so early?
1239How''d you knew me?
1239How''s George?
1239How?
1239Hullo, Bill, any sign of Jim?
1239I hope-- I pray Joe comes back, but if he doesn''t-- Nell-- won''t you care a little for me?
1239If you have so little hope of recovering your sweetheart, what then is your motive for accompanying this band of hunters?
1239If you were alone what would you do?
1239In a hurry to be a- goin''? 1239 Injun, are you a Christian?"
1239Is Fort Henry near the Indian towns?
1239Is he? 1239 Is it a forest fire?"
1239Is poor Kate dead?
1239Is there no hope of getting Kate back?
1239Jest cum out kinder wild like, eh?
1239Jim said he''d be here to- day, did n''t he?
1239Jim, have you lost your senses?
1239Jim?
1239Joe, are you badly hurt?
1239Kate, where''s Nell?
1239Kate? 1239 Kate?"
1239Kin ye hit one-- say, a hundred yards?
1239Leave Beautiful Spring?
1239Lew, we''re pretty good friends, ai n''t we?
1239Like frontier life?
1239Me-- me?
1239Mr. Wells, is it not possible that you underrate the danger of your enterprise?
1239My scalp is nothing to make an Indian very covetous, is it?
1239Nell, will you marry me?
1239Nellie, Nellie, can you speak?
1239Nellie, can you understand me?
1239Nellie, do n''t you know me?
1239Nellie, may I marry you to Jim?
1239Nellie, what is it you fear?
1239Now, tell me, how did those Indians wear their scalp- lock?
1239Now, what do you think of that?
1239Of course I know you do n''t care for me---"Did Mr. Edwards tell you so?
1239Of what?
1239Oh, is it true?
1239Oh, where''s Nellie?
1239Oh, why-- why do you say that?
1239Run away? 1239 Save him?"
1239Say, how''s the other one, your brother as wus called Joe?
1239See anythin''?
1239See the big cabin, thar, on the hillside? 1239 Shawnee-- ketch''um?"
1239She''s not wounded? 1239 Slapped you?
1239So long? 1239 So you are going to Short Creek?
1239So you want to know all about Wetzel?
1239So you''re one of''em? 1239 So, little''un, ye want a story?"
1239Suppose you did-- what then?
1239Tell me of Benny?
1239That so? 1239 That whirlwind was Wetzel, was n''t it?"
1239The fort must be an important point, is it not?
1239Then hunting Indians is his sole occupation?
1239Then it''s a common occurrence, this abducting girls from the settlements?
1239Then that horrible man did take us away?
1239Then we have no one to fear?
1239Then what do you mean?
1239Then you think our Christians will be made prisoners?
1239Then, why did you leave him?
1239They''ve got ahead of us, but which crick did they take?
1239Think of him? 1239 Wait?
1239Wal?
1239Was Jim the only one you cared for?
1239Was it all a horrible dream?
1239Well, Lew, what luck?
1239Well?
1239Well?
1239Well?
1239Well?
1239Were those women on the raft?
1239Wetzel, has the capturing of James Downs any significance to you?
1239Wetzel?
1239What I said? 1239 What are they?"
1239What can I do?
1239What can we do?
1239What did Jeff Lynn mean when he said that some people think Wetzel is crazy?
1239What did Williamson say? 1239 What did he mean?"
1239What did you say to her?
1239What do they mean by loitering around the village? 1239 What do you advise?"
1239What do you make of his capturing Jim?
1239What do you mean? 1239 What do you mean?"
1239What does he look like?
1239What does it mean?
1239What have we to be afraid of?
1239What is he called by the Indians?
1239What luck did you have?
1239What of Rose-- the girl you were to marry?
1239What the deuce--? 1239 What was here?
1239What will Nell say?
1239What will they do with the converted Indians?
1239What will they do? 1239 What''s not true?"
1239What''s that ter you?
1239What''s the matter?
1239What''s this?
1239What''s to be done with this savage?
1239What''s to be done?
1239What? 1239 What?"
1239What?
1239What?
1239What?
1239When d''ye expect him?
1239When''ll we be off?
1239Where a I? 1239 Where are the Delawares now?"
1239Where are the converts?
1239Where is my brother?
1239Where is my sister?
1239Where is she?
1239Where is the Moravian Mission located?
1239Where were you?
1239Where''s Heckewelder?
1239Where''s Nell?
1239Where''s the yellow- haired lass?
1239Who could help admiring her?
1239Who is Jim?
1239Who is this big man coming from the the fort?
1239Who''re you, an''where you goin''?
1239Who''s there?
1239Why do n''t some one kill him?
1239Why have we been warned to go?
1239Why is the daughter of Wingenund a traitor to her race?
1239Why not? 1239 Why-- nothing-- see here, may n''t I admire a pretty girl if I want?"
1239Will Girty follow us? 1239 Will the palefaces be kind to an Indian who has learned to love them?"
1239Will they come here?
1239Will you let me speak to your men, to try and get them to follow me?
1239Winds, where have you been?
1239Would you kill a Christian?
1239Yer brother''s goin''to preach out here, ai n''t he? 1239 Yes; how''d you know?"
1239You ai n''t a preacher?
1239You are not ill?
1239You ask us to fail in our duty? 1239 You did?
1239You do n''t really think it was Wetzel who moaned?
1239You really think so?
1239You say it was a bad fight?
1239You will go with Kate and me?
1239You wo n''t go-- first?
1239You''d like to be Jim because he''s a preacher, and could help uncle convert the Indians?
1239You''re not hurt?
1239You''re sure she-- cares for me?
1239You''ve brought this old fellow; did you bring the horses?
1239You? 1239 Zane?
1239A log?"
1239Ai n''t you afeared?"
1239All?
1239And you say hunting Wetzel?
1239Are you Wetzel''s companion, or the renegade Deering?"
1239Are you well?"
1239Bill Elliott, McKee; and who''s that renegade with Jim Girty?
1239But how on earth did you know?
1239But tell me about yourself; what made you come West?"
1239But tell me, how did Girty come to strike you?"
1239But, Dave, you''ll let me see her occasionally, wo n''t you?
1239But, Jim, we are safe, are we not?"
1239Can I serve you in any way?"
1239Can the Christian God tell Wingenund of his child?"
1239Can we ever recover from the misery brought upon us by poor Kate''s fate?"
1239Can you remain idle and see these little ones murdered?"
1239Can you withhold it?"
1239Can you?"
1239Could he be cool?
1239Could you bear it to see them?
1239D''ye see them crows flyin''round thet big oak with the bleached top?
1239Dare I ask him?"
1239Dave, what did you tell her I said?"
1239Did Wetzel say?"
1239Did the Shawnees fear pursuit?
1239Did these lonesome, shadowing trees, with their sad drooping branches, harbor a mystery?
1239Did this boiling spring, shimmering in the sliver moon- rays, hold in its murky depths a secret?
1239Did ye ever hear the name Girty?"
1239Did you boys learn to what tribe your captors belong?
1239Did you escape?
1239Did you ever see human beings like these?"
1239Did you know Wetzel rescued Nell?"
1239Did you not hear them scream that French name?
1239Did you see your brother?
1239Do n''t that towel remind you of home?"
1239Do not leave me here to that horrible fate?
1239Do you appreciate that?"
1239Do you hear all that yelling?
1239Do you know of my marriage?
1239Do you not think so?"
1239Do you think Captain Williamson will stand still and let all this go on?"
1239Do you understand?
1239Ever hear of Jim Girty?"
1239Gone?
1239Had he not shown that he considered himself her protector and lover?
1239Have you noticed that Mr. Wells has failed very much in the last few weeks?"
1239He will outgrow this fiery, daring spirit, and then-- won''t you help him?"
1239Hear them cawin''?
1239Heckewelder, you would not go?
1239Hev you seen any Injun Christians round here?"
1239How did you happen over here?"
1239How many pioneers have given up, and gone back east?
1239How''d ye ketch''em?"
1239Hungry, little''un?"
1239I knew you''d been huntin''him for years, and so I says,''Lew, you or me?''
1239If a future tragedy was to be enacted here in this quiet glade, could the murmuring water or leaves whisper its portent?
1239Instantly struck by two things, Jim voiced his curiosity:"Why do these Indians all wear long hair, smooth and shiny, without adornment?"
1239Is that not being of some use, of some good here?"
1239Jim-- say, say she was n''t left with Girty?"
1239Joe, will nothing ever cure you?
1239Let me see, what did Wetzel call this spot?"
1239Let me think; where would be a good place?
1239Man is weak against hate; what can he avail against love?
1239Man, ca n''t you see what the unnamable villain is doin''?"
1239Man, where''s your humanity?
1239Mr. Wells, does it not impress you?"
1239Nor you, Zeisberger?
1239Now, lads, tell me which is which?''
1239Now, what was it?"
1239Oh, tell me?"
1239One thing more: will you help us?"
1239Pipe is particularly opposed to Christianity, and-- what''s that?"
1239Rather than almost anything else, he desired to please her, to strengthen her; yet how could he shirk his duty?
1239See here; do n''t you admire her?"
1239Some wonderful feeling has possessed me ever since-- since---""What has Joe been saying about me?"
1239Tell us what you learned?"
1239Then he hissed between his teeth:"What shall we do with these Christian Indians?"
1239Then with a magnificent gesture he thundered:"Is the Delaware a fool?
1239Then, seeing Joe''s head covered with blood, he continued:"Able to get up?"
1239Think of Joe?
1239Thought you''d give me the slip, eh?"
1239Turning to Jim he whispered:"Kate?"
1239Wal, after Miller ran off from the fort, we trailed him down to the river, and I points across and says,''You or me?''
1239Was he reserved for a different fate?
1239Was it only a deceiving shade cast by a leafy branch-- only a shadow?
1239Was not such a death too merciful for the frontier Deathshead?
1239Was this his vaunted willingness to share the Avenger''s danger?
1239We are safe, are we not?"
1239We said:''Ai n''t ye goin''home?''
1239What are they?"
1239What are ye goin''in fer-- farmin''?"
1239What are you going to do out here on the frontier?
1239What can they do?"
1239What could I do with a woman?
1239What could have caused that sound?
1239What do you infer from the appearance here of these hostile savages?"
1239What do you mean?
1239What does it mean?"
1239What does it mean?"
1239What does this border life engender in a pioneer who holds his own in it?
1239What for?"
1239What form will that violence take?"
1239What frightened you so?"
1239What had that Indian chief told Silvertip?
1239What has he ag''in you?"
1239What is it?"
1239What to them was the raving of a mad preacher?
1239What was it?
1239What would become of them?
1239What''d such a glorious creature see in a poor, puny little thing like me?"
1239What-- of her?"
1239Where did you procure these tools?"
1239Where did you strike my trail?
1239Where is your brother now?"
1239Where was that home?
1239Where''s Benny?"
1239Where''s Jake and Mac?"
1239Where''s he taking you?"
1239Which?
1239Who are you?"
1239Who gave you that?"
1239Who''s that?"
1239Why should we go?"
1239Will you help us?
1239Will you not remain here with me for a few weeks, or, at least, until my scouts report?"
1239Will you stay here to face those men?
1239Would you be killed?
1239Yet how could he lose himself in slumber?
1239You are a white man; will you help us?"
1239You remember, Jeff Lynn said I''d know him if I ever saw him and---""What happened to Jeff?"
1239You remember?
1239You''ll be gettin''married out there, wo n''t you?"
1239Your manhood?
1239but we''re free now?
1239did you not see the meaning in his eyes to- day?
1239hurt?
1239ill?"
1239what was there?
1239will he come here?"
46798A rabbit, you say, Dick?
46798An elk?
46798And did he escape without being badly burned?
46798And did the fighting cease immediately?
46798And then what did you do?
46798And when morning comes, how about breakfast?
46798And you slept no more, but stood on guard, not knowing but that the unseen and mysterious foes might return to finish their work?
46798As usual, we have been lucky; when even the water- spouts stand back of us, what have we to fear?
46798But I hope this little adventure is not going to make us think of leaving here, to spend the night under the stars, and in the cold wind?
46798But do you think they noticed us?
46798But have you noticed where they put our guns and powder horns?
46798But he seemed to be of about the same build; and, Dick, you could see nothing to prove that it was any one else, could you?
46798But how long ought it take us to burrow through?
46798But tell me how you would know his trail from any other? 46798 But the sun is only setting, and these Indians never get tired, so what makes you think they will halt?"
46798But what if the lake freezes over, as it may do in very hard winters?
46798But what is it made of, I''d like to know?
46798But what makes it boil that way? 46798 But what of these Indians who attacked your party-- they were not of the Sioux or the Mandan tribes, I take it?"
46798But what will you do with us; I hope you will not send us with the Blackfeet also?
46798But who ever before met with boiling water in the open?
46798But you do not believe such silly stories, I hope?
46798But you must have snatched up your guns and fought them?
46798But, Dick, where is the rope to come from? 46798 Can you see the white man plainly, Dick?"
46798Could that have been our friend Jasper Williams?
46798Could you not see whether they were Indians or otherwise?
46798Could you see our light out there?
46798Dick, what can it mean?
46798Did you go back and try to find it?
46798Do you believe there is any truth in that account, Dick; or can it be set down as a fable, like this Evil Spirit of the land?
46798Do you mean it has come down from the side of the mountain, and filled the opening we used to get in here?
46798Do you mean to say the paper they set such store on is missing?
46798Do you mean to tell me, Roger, that you believe any such thing?
46798Do you really mean it?
46798Do you see what I mean, Dick?
46798Do you think it would be wise?
46798Do you think that awful hole can have any bottom, Dick?
46798Do you think they saw us?
46798Do you think we are safe away, Mayhew?
46798Does it afford you any sort of clue as to the meaning of this mysterious attack in the dark, and the seizure of the paper you were sending home?
46798He must have gotten some of that information from the Blackfoot prisoner the Mandans have in their strong lodge?
46798How can we find a soft place to lie down on, please tell me, Dick?
46798How can we let Beaver Tail know what we are here for, and beg him to help us save Williams from the Frenchmen?
46798How did the news reach camp; and what made the captain allow you to start out almost alone into this heathen land in order to rescue me?
46798How does that happen?
46798How long ago?
46798I hope you are not thinking me silly just because I''ve been complaining of feeling hungry?
46798I try to-- honestly I do, Dick; but what hope have we now? 46798 If they could n''t climb up out of that hole on account of the smooth face of the rock, how shall we go down to help them, Dick?"
46798Is he dead, do you think?
46798Is it far away?
46798Is it time yet, Dick?
46798Is there a chance that we can break loose, tied up as we are? 46798 It strikes me the snow is packed lighter than what we struck at first; what do you think about it, Mayhew?"
46798Listen, Roger, what was that sound?
46798Listen, what do you suppose that sound can be? 46798 Look up, Roger; what do you see?"
46798Look yonder, Dick,he would say huskily,"and tell me is that the old bull just alongside that rock?
46798Not the whistle Jasper Williams taught us to practice, Roger, and which he uses when he wants to communicate with friends?
46798Now that we have burrowed out of that trap, what is the next move, Dick?
46798Of all the strange things, did you ever hear such a terrible groaning before, Dick?
46798Oh, Dick, do you really mean it?
46798Oh, what has happened now?
46798One or the other, what do we care, so long as we can bag him?
46798Searching for something to eat, you mean, do n''t you?
46798Shall I crawl out and fetch in some of that wood, Dick?
46798So he would,admitted the other boy, reluctantly;"but what are we going to do about it, Dick?"
46798So, it was all a dream after all, and mother was not calling me to get up or the griddle cakes would be cold?
46798So, zis is ze young Armstrongs zat I haf ze pleasure to entertain?
46798Stop and consider, did you hear anything said that might give the slightest clue concerning the identity of the thieves?
46798That is easy to say, but where can we go that would be better?
46798That was lucky, at any rate; how came you to have it with you?
46798Then he is n''t down there with you?
46798Then he is still in the camp?
46798Then we may break through at any time; is that it?
46798Then we mean to keep up a blaze all night, no matter what the risk?
46798Then why have we failed to see a single elk, or a lone buffalo?
46798Then why not answer it?
46798Then you did n''t see the jack- rabbit, Roger?
46798There is a gaping hole yonder, you see, Roger?
46798There, did you hear it, Dick?
46798There, did you see him that time?
46798This is an exposed camp, do n''t you think, Roger?
46798We have a short time still before the sun sinks,remarked Dick;"shall we go on further or spend the night here?"
46798We have our guns, it is true, and that I count a fine thing, but of what use are they to us without our powder horns?
46798We know, for have n''t we made use of one when overtaken by a storm? 46798 Well?"
46798Were they English, or frontiersmen, or French?
46798Were you attacked on the way?
46798Were you in camp at the time?
46798What are the prospects, Dick?
46798What business have you trying to make us prisoners? 46798 What can we do, Dick?"
46798What did you think you heard?
46798What does Beaver Tail mean to do?
46798What does he say, Mayhew?
46798What does this mean, Mayhew?
46798What had we better do, Mayhew?
46798What is it, Mayhew?
46798What is it?
46798What is it?
46798What is that?
46798What sort of fresh meat do you mean?
46798What was it happened to make them pass by, and not start up here to see how that stone started to roll down?
46798What will cross our path next, I wonder?
46798When you last examined the tracks left by Jasper Williams and his party, Benjamin, how old did you make them out to be?
46798When?
46798Where are going, Dick?
46798Where else could I take you, except to some place I had seen before?
46798Where is Jasper Williams?
46798Where is Mayhew?
46798Where the rocks seem to drop straight down, you mean?
46798Who knows how that may work out?
46798Why are you so certain of that?
46798Why go that way instead of straight into the West, or turn toward the Southwest?
46798Why should it be considered so?
46798Why, were there white men with the Indians?
46798Why, what happened then?
46798Will he remember us, do you think?
46798Yes, and what did you see?
46798Yes, but tell me how they could have picked_ you_ out as the one bearing it?
46798You did not see anything to tell you the Indians might be camped near here, I suppose, Dick?
46798You do n''t think it feels much like snow, do you, Dick?
46798You do not know certainly, then, that Jasper was captured or killed?
46798You feel sure the lake lies to the east of us, Mayhew, do you not?
46798You have guessed the answer, Dick?
46798You heard me ask Hardy about the exact place they were set upon by the Blackfeet? 46798 You heard what Mayhew just said, and how the man who looked was wounded in the shoulder?
46798You know why we are here in this strange land, then?
46798You mean that Jasper Williams is a prisoner, do you?
46798You mean we''ve got a general idea where that valley they are heading for lies, and might get there even without following their trail; is that it?
46798You recognize the name, then, do you?
46798Zat sounds very good, but how am I to know zat you vill not try to escape if ze bonds zey are remove?
46798And do you think we can recover them again?"
46798And will he take us there, and help us rescue Jasper?"
46798Are you depending on Mayhew to come to our rescue?
46798Are you starting to work your hands free, Dick?
46798But go on, Mayhew, have you other distressing news for us?
46798But what are the men running to the other side of the camp for, do you suppose?"
46798But where can we get such a thing now?"
46798But why should Dick show signs of satisfaction; for that was clearly expressed in his tone?
46798But, Dick, do you believe this was the cause of that heavy rumbling we heard some time back?"
46798CHAPTER IX SURROUNDED BY MYSTERIES"WHAT about the swivel gun in the camp; could it be heard as far away as this, do you think, Dick?"
46798CHAPTER XVII THANKS TO THE WOLF PACK"WHAT have you on your mind now, Roger?"
46798CHAPTER XXI BINDING UP AN ENEMY''S WOUNDS"DO you believe him, Dick?"
46798Could they read that those tracks had just been made, since blades of brown grass were still springing up after being pressed down?
46798Dick, can those be the men who pursued Mayhew?"
46798Dick, what can it mean?
46798Did that Indian favor you when he fastened us up the last time; or was it through an accident?"
46798Do you intend to lend me your gun, and let me finish him?"
46798Do you not recognize eet?
46798Do you not think that is reasonable, Captain?"
46798Do you think any of our men are out after fresh meat to- day?"
46798Do you understand what I am saying?"
46798Had n''t we better spread out, so as to surround him?"
46798Hardy tried to describe the place to us, and I suppose you think you can recognize it from the way the trees hang out over the water?"
46798How about that, Dick?"
46798How about that, Mayhew?"
46798How about you, Mayhew?"
46798How were they to keep warm as they slept?
46798Look back at some of our experiences, and tell me if we have not done that more than once when in the forest?"
46798Perhaps, who knows?
46798Roger commenced;"yet not one of us ever thought of such a thing, did we?"
46798Shall I give him another call?"
46798Shall we make signs in the snow, and tell him that way?"
46798Surely, you could not have had any signal from him?"
46798There must be a fire of some kind deep down in the earth?"
46798Was he not himself fighting against the same depression, and conquering it only because he would not give in?
46798Was that Mayhew trying to let them know he was close by?
46798Was the ground actually trembling underneath, or did his own shaky condition deceive him?
46798Was there some sort of a trap beyond, into which they might fall?
46798We brought nothing of the sort from the camp?"
46798Were hostile eyes watching them from some rocky covert; and would a signal be given to launch an attack?
46798What can have become of Williams?
46798What can it be?"
46798What could a horse be doing here?
46798What could we do if that happened?"
46798What do you think about it, Mayhew?"
46798What do you think is the reason all big game is lacking about here?"
46798What has happened?
46798What if one of us had fallen in here, and could not get out?"
46798What if the steel blade did give him several scratches and slight cuts?
46798What kind of a beast have we run across?
46798What of your two companions; I hope they did not meet their fate there in the darkness?"
46798What will you do with the Frenchmen?"
46798What would be the result?
46798What would become of them should they be caught in this open camp, without any fire, and destitute of robes or blankets?
46798Where do you reckon he is striking out for now, Dick?"
46798Where was his rifle?
46798Who was the man you saw, Roger?"
46798Why do you not order these warriors to set us free?
46798Why should Jasper Williams count any more with the hostile Blackfeet than the other two explorers?
46798You said a while ago, did n''t you, Mayhew, that he could only be fifteen minutes or so ahead of us?"
46798can it be possible that they were carried down with that avalanche when the slip occurred?
46798do you think so?"
46798gasped Roger, as he turned his face, filled with perplexity, toward the other,"did you see what it was, Dick?"
46798how came it there?"
46798vat does it matter to me?
46798was that what happened?"
46798what if he runs across us here?"
46798where are they, Dick?
46798why did I let my gun fall when I stumbled that time?
31091''Among which is foremost the tax- gatherer, I suppose?''
31091''An''I reckon you do n''t never barter, but pays hard cash down?
31091''An''if the folk at hame kenned this mair, dinna ye think the emigration wad be thrice what it is, Mr. Robert?
31091''An''is it on the road ye''ll lave the masther''s things?''
31091''An''is n''t there any peep of the fresh air allowed us at all?''
31091''An''is this what ye call a''lection in America?''
31091''An''now, Masther Robert, what''ll become o''that in the rapids below the sawmill?
31091''An''what description of vahicle stands sich thratement?''
31091''An''what''s my rights, sir, if yer honour would be plasin''to tell me?''
31091''An''you call_ them_ shingles?''
31091''And I''m not to assert my superior rights at all?''
31091''And do n''t you export any ornamental wood?''
31091''And do you think the pathless forest will be more lightsome than the open ice?
31091''And does the fellow live here, all alone?''
31091''And han''t you ever fished through holes in the ice?''
31091''And has no effort been made to Christianize them?''
31091''And how am I to tell how its grain runs?''
31091''And how could you get on without understanding them?''
31091''And how should he?''
31091''And is all that verdure an appearance or a reality?''
31091''And is the town so modern as all that comes to?''
31091''And is there no cure?''
31091''And what is punk?''
31091''And when will Quebec''s turn come?''
31091''And who''s himself?''
31091''And who''s the lucky man?''
31091''And will you not have it all cut down some day?
31091''And yer mither and I cam''here wi''an axe and a cradle,''he was wo nt to say,''eh, Jeanie Davidson?''
31091''And you say that I would make an independence if I emigrated?''
31091''And you think lumberers have been chopping in these woods?
31091''And you think,''said Robert,''the colonists are sufficiently loyal, and all that, to be left to themselves?''
31091''Are they injured by it, Bunting?''
31091''Are those the rails which I helped to split?''
31091''Are you speaking to me, my good man?''
31091''Are you the proprietor of this mill, sir?''
31091''Are you?
31091''Are you?''
31091''Armytage,''said he, after the usual attentions to the wound,''I suppose you consider this axe- cut a great misfortune?''
31091''Arrah, Miss Libby asthore, wor ye able to sleep one wink last night wid the crakling of the threes?
31091''Bob, what are these?''
31091''But come, Andy,''said Arthur,''tell us where you caught these fine trout?
31091''But is it not a wonder, papa,''pressed the young lady,''when the cold is so terrible in winter?
31091''But why is that green flat called a_ beaver_ meadow?''
31091''But why must our church have a tin spire?''
31091''But why this piece of deer- leather, with bits of stag- horn attached?
31091''Can Hiram Holt help you?
31091''Can not your father wait for his money-- even a little time?
31091''Captain Argent?''
31091''Come, who''ll feast with me?''
31091''Could Reginald have sent him for anything?
31091''Could n''t they be made serviceable anyhow?''
31091''Did I not tell you we would find out Arthur and Robert?''
31091''Did n''t you?''
31091''Did you think you would ever be expert at felling pines?''
31091''Do n''t like it, eh?
31091''Do n''t the trees ever burn through?''
31091''Do n''t you recognise balm of Gilead?
31091''Do n''t you recollect my town plot?''
31091''Do you know to whom you talked at table?''
31091''Do you know what the Indians think about auroras?''
31091''Do you mean to say the trees stood as thick here as they do there?
31091''Do you see the creek running alongside?
31091''Expecting us?''
31091''Had you no assistance in all this?''
31091''He wants us to go with him, Jay-- don''t you think so?''
31091''Holt, are those genuine Indian mocassins?''
31091''Holt, where did you pick up such a variety of knowledge as you have?''
31091''How can I tell everything intirely all at wanst?''
31091''How do you know?''
31091''How for nothing?''
31091''How holy must be my life, how blameless my actions, if I set up to teach others?''
31091''How is it made, Argent?''
31091''How is it that everything thrives with you, Wynn?''
31091''How very French that is, eh?''
31091''I guess now, that''s the latest Europe fashion in yer gown?''
31091''I guess this ai n''t your first time of notching logs, by a long chalk, stranger?''
31091''I presume this is a pioneer city?''
31091''I presume this is the lower town, lying along the quays?''
31091''I say, Bob, what shall we do with ourselves?
31091''I say, squire, stop a minute: what sort o''money''s this?''
31091''I see all yar people at the bee: yar too high yarself to go to them kind''er meetings, I reckon, Miss?
31091''I suppose you did not see many of our old country trees?''
31091''I suppose, then, you have no rogues in the bush?''
31091''I wonder what is that tall church, whose roof glitters so intensely?''
31091''I wondher might I make bould to ax you for one of them sthrings?
31091''I''m sure it must be good in a moral point of view; but do you find them equal to as much work as if they had beer or spirits?''
31091''If I may make so bould, sir,''said Andy, edging forward,''might I ax what yer honour is makin''?
31091''Is it about a lesson?
31091''Is it me, yer honour?''
31091''Is it not dreadful that the first effect of European contact with original races everywhere should be destructive?''
31091''Is n''t he a brilliant fellow?''
31091''Is there no danger to the farm, Robert?''
31091''Is your moonlight always laden with that sweet aromatic odour?''
31091''Let me down, will ye, to see the young masthers?''
31091''Lost in the bush, you war?
31091''Masther Robert, avourneen, is he a four- footed baste or a fowl?
31091''Masther Robert, would_ ye_ like''em to stop?''
31091''Most possible: did n''t you remember that my regiment was quartered out here?
31091''Mother''--after a pause--''shall I not bring you another daughter to fill Linda''s empty place?''
31091''New to this sort of thing, I should imagine?''
31091''Nonsense, Wynn, can that be you?
31091''Nor any mocking birds that can be playing us a trick?
31091''Not all cleared by any means; but if you had to take the axe in hand as we have''--''Gentlemen, are you going to liquor?''
31091''Now what would you say to freezing up your winter stores of meat and fowls?
31091''Now, Mr. Holt, as you have been good enough to attempt an explanation of the cold, perhaps you could tell me the cause of the_ ver glas_?
31091''Oh, did you intend that for a pun?''
31091''Oh, have you Indians here?
31091''Oh, papa, did you ever see anything like these vines?
31091''Oh, yes,''said George;''do you recollect how magnificent was one we had while the fall- wheat was planting?
31091''Rather a pretty effect, eh?
31091''Robert, in all your dreams for a settlement, have you ever thought of the church there ought to be?''
31091''S''pose I said they wanted that new- married pair to be you an''me, Miss?''
31091''Sir, how dare you?''
31091''So the lumberers have a foreman?''
31091''Spell o''warm weather, squire, ai n''t it, rayther?
31091''Spose we tried it togedder, eh, mabouchal?''
31091''Spose you han''t got an old pair of skates handy?
31091''Suppose you get out the canoe, Bob, and we go over to that island where we saw such quantities of them unripe?
31091''Sure there is n''t fairies all the ways out here?
31091''Sure, God ai n''t nowhar hereabouts?''
31091''That fellow''s a master of soft sawder when he chooses: but did you see how he clutched the hard cash after all?
31091''That''s Ponto; what can have brought him home?
31091''The deludherer?''
31091''The young un''s spryer; but I''d like to be waitin''till they''d ha''the house clar''d up between''em, would n''t I?
31091''Then I am to consider my services bespoke by the young ladies present, eh?''
31091''Then I suppose you''ll be for joining the stars and stripes?''
31091''Then take the cakes out of the bake- kettle, will you?''
31091''Then where are the banks?
31091''Then you are not about to be married to him?''
31091''Tis an elegant farm-- ain''t it?''
31091''Well, Ged, what do you want?''
31091''Well, dear, how have you managed?
31091''Well, have n''t you no end of shingles made for the roof?''
31091''Well, how did you come?
31091''Well, yes, when the music do n''t amount to seventeen syllables a- piece, eh?''
31091''Wha''s gaun to live here?''
31091''What ails you?
31091''What are the terms?''
31091''What are those blackish things hanging up in the smoke, I wonder?''
31091''What are you doin''?''
31091''What business has they,''continued Mrs. Zack,''away down here in the bush?
31091''What can it be, Robert?''
31091''What could the likes of me have to say to the likes of you, sir?''
31091''What do you mean, sir?''
31091''What has become of your colony of Indians?''
31091''What has the fellow been about, I wonder?
31091''What has the sun to do with it?''
31091''What made you come to settle in the bush?''
31091''What on airth, you ai n''t never hewin''''em from basswood?''
31091''What put such a thought into your head?''
31091''What sort of roads have you across the ferry to the Cedars?''
31091''What would you do if you were rocking and rolling in a transport five months round the Cape?
31091''What would you think of a bush farm?
31091''What''s in the wind now?''
31091''What''s the meat like, Holt?
31091''What, on Daisy Burn?''
31091''What?''
31091''Where is the labourer whom I saw working on the farm?''
31091''Where''s the vothers, or the candidates, or the speeches, or the tratin,''or the colours, or the sojers, or anythink at all?
31091''Where?''
31091''Why ai n''t five shillin''s the same everywhar?''
31091''Why did n''t you finish him off on the spot,''asked Arthur,''instead of taking all that trouble?''
31091''Why did n''t you stop at the"Corner"yesterday?
31091''Why have we never such magnificence upon our trees at home?''
31091''Why have you cut that hole in the middle of the board?''
31091''Why is every fourth day milder than the others?
31091''Why not?''
31091''Why should a hot sun put sugar in the sap?''
31091''Why were they not burned equally through?''
31091''Why, thin, ye murtherin''villins, will ye follow me into the smoke itself?''
31091''Why, where are you going to?''
31091''Why, you little Miss Considerate, is that your principle always?''
31091''Why?''
31091''With all my heart; a grist or a saw mill?''
31091''Wo n''t you be very lonesome in the world all by yourself, Libby, asthore?''
31091''Would you like to know a secret?''
31091''You have no ghosts in these forests, Holt, I suppose?''
31091''You see that Scotch fellow had no taste about his place, eh?
31091''You want to try your hand at"slabbing,"do you?
31091''You''re for lot fifteen in ninth concession, township of Gazelle?
31091A few stray Methodists alone have pushed into the moral wilderness of the backwoods; and what are they among so many?
31091A frame- house, I calc''late?''
31091A narrow escape, eh?''
31091A very fortunate pair-- very fortunate, indeed, eh?''
31091An''in the name of wondher what does he want wid a hole, barrin''we''re to burrow like rabbits?''
31091And are they all as tall as you?''
31091And how is Robert and your funny servant?
31091And that most gentle mother, how would she bear the transplanting?
31091And what would have been his disappointment if, on entering the family at Mapleton, that pretty brown head and fair face had not met his glance?
31091And when may I hope to get rid of the stumps?''
31091And where was the grim taciturnity of his forefathers?
31091Are they at all like Uncas and Chingachgook?
31091Are you married?''
31091Arrah, what brought him here at all?''
31091Be spry, will you?''
31091Blunt Hiram at last furnished a key to what had puzzled his fair companion by asking abruptly, when Captain Argent was expected at Cedar Creek?
31091But I say, stranger, what are you going to do with that heaver meadow below on the creek?
31091But chiefest reason of all-- was she not dear Linda''s choicest friend and intimate?
31091But did you ever see such an old- fashioned vehicle as he drives?
31091But how about the minister of these bush churches, Bob?''
31091But how often had he to put the question resolutely away during that and the next day''s travelling?
31091But noo, will ye tak''a turn round the farm?''
31091But oh, Mr. Wynn,''and he felt a sudden tightening of her grasp on his hand,''what big bird is that?
31091But one day that she wanted her young mistress, and abruptly put her head into the parlour, asking, in a strong tone,''Whar''s Linda?
31091But what could you do, my son?''
31091But where did the captain find cash for this?
31091But you, my poor dear girl, have got a sad way of looking at things-- a gloomy temperament, I should call it perhaps, eh?
31091But, Arthur, would n''t you go?''
31091By the way, Holt, why are all the settlers''locations I have yet seen in the country so destitute of wood about them?
31091By the way, did you hear that his farm is took?
31091By the way, did you hear that my brother Percy has been returned member for the county at home?''
31091Callaghan?''
31091Captain Armytage would surely pay in the long run; or his son would''--''But s''pose we do n''t want''em to pay?
31091Confess now, Edith, is n''t he the handsomest man you ever saw?''
31091Could a tree have fallen on Reginald?''
31091Could it be?
31091Could n''t we have a Sunday school, or a Bible class, or something of that sort?
31091Could not something be done in the way of a Sunday- school class for the miserable ignorant children at the''Corner''?
31091Could you make anything of his French?''
31091Crying was so rare with Edith-- and what could Robert Wynn have to do with it?
31091D''ye hear, Sam?''
31091D''ye ken the greatest trouble I find in towns?
31091D''ye see here?''
31091D''ye think they''ll pass the four roads at the"Corner,"whar my mill stands handy?''
31091Did Miss Armytage''s grey eyes, as they rested upon his for a minute, understand his thoughts?
31091Did anybody ever hear of anythin''so onreasonable?''
31091Did not Robert and Arthur regret their emigration bitterly, when shaken by the fangs of the fell demon, sea- sickness?
31091Did not a chance of going to the bottom seem a trivial calamity?
31091Did she not?
31091Did they not confide every secret of their hearts to each other?
31091Did you see that hired help o''theirn, Almeria?''
31091Dinna ye think they wad risk the sea an''the strangers, to make a safe future for their bairns?
31091Do n''t you imagine her pride suffered before she took part in field work?
31091Do n''t you know how poverty is looked down upon at home?
31091Do n''t you know the feeling, as if the sight were too large, too imposing for your mind somehow?
31091Do n''t you remember, Armytage?''
31091Do you feel as if the bones were broken, and grinding together across the instep?''
31091Do you notice the moving light in the distance, on the lake?
31091Do you remember all the endless trouble the gardener at Dunore had to save his vines from the frost?
31091Do you see that it is at least twelve feet, perpendicular, sir?
31091Do you think that I am crippled as a punishment for my misdeeds, idleness, etcetera?''
31091Edith, if I come here and settle on this farm, I can not live alone; will you be my wife?''
31091Emigrant vessel?''
31091For all that, he ha''n''t a bad notion of chopping, and can drive a span of oxen, and is growin''up as hardy as my rifle-- eh, Benny?''
31091Had he indeed gone back on his own track?
31091Had there ever been more than mere pleasant acquaintanceship between him and Miss Wynn?
31091Have the old people come out?
31091Have you breakfasted?
31091Having refreshed his throat, he proceeded:''My plan is, to set on fire that strip of forest, eh?
31091He is lying so white and still: are you sure he is not dead?''
31091He was right, my young friend, in condemning that system, eh?
31091He would say, in these downcast moods, that Canada was no place for the gentleman emigrant; but could he point out any colony_ more_ suited?
31091Holt?''
31091How could that creek have led him astray?
31091How many acres do you intend to clear this winter?''
31091How wad ye relish that prospect, bonnie Susan?''
31091How''s that, Andy?''
31091I ca n''t see why I could n''t hew boards out of a pine myself; eh, Holt?''
31091I calculate your capital ai n''t much above your four hands between you?''
31091I guess you had n''t none of this sort o''sugar to hum in England?''
31091I hope you''re thinking of Canada, young man?''
31091I say, Bob, wo n''t Cedar Creek look awfully wild to them?''
31091I should like to know who has the dignified presence, or will uphold the majesty of the law, as well as you?''
31091I suppose a specimen of the true"salmo salar"has never been caught in these waters since you blocked up the passage with your villainous dam, sir?''
31091I think I heard you say you had some experience on your father''s farm in Ireland?''
31091I wonder whether they know how to laugh if they tried?''
31091In fact, he had thoughts of removal to Toronto; the air of Montreal evidently did not agree with either of the girls, eh?
31091Ina, have we any chance of a moose?''
31091Incompatible with a British officer''s feelings, eh?''
31091Intending to be a settler, eh?''
31091Is it five cents cash you named, Mister Holt?
31091Is that fixed?''
31091Is there anything I can do for either of you, eh?
31091Is your ma to hum?''
31091Masther Robert,''calling aloud,''I wondher have I dug deep enough?''
31091May be they''re for crossin''the wather in?''
31091Now I guess you hain''t been used to this sort of thing, when you was to hum?
31091Now he knew the points of the compass; but of what practical avail was his knowledge?
31091Now we shall see what the paws are like, in the way of eatables; do n''t you say they''re delicious, Holt?''
31091Now, do tell what brought you so far from hum?
31091Now, do you know the reason it is called Chaudière, my dear?''
31091Now, whar are you runnin''so fast?
31091Now, what are your plans?''
31091Only for your amiable family, I-- I positively do n''t know what might have been the consequence, eh?''
31091Or dryads warning us off their territory?''
31091Perhaps it would be well to walk down to the"Corner"now, and conclude that bargain with our good friend the storekeeper, eh?
31091Perhaps you would like"niggers"better?''
31091Robert looked at him full, and demanded,''Pray who are you, sir?''
31091S''pose we wants the farm, and house, and fixins, and all, for a new- married pair to set up, Miss?''
31091She did not ask-- as a less gentle nature would have asked-- who else was to be the menial, if not she?
31091So will you wait or come along?''
31091Stay-- was not that a faint haze of smoke yonder?
31091Suppose Sir Richard Lacy or Lord Scutcheon saw us in our present trim?''
31091Take it out in potash or maple sugar next spring-- eh?
31091That is sure to be right, is n''t it?''
31091The brig Ocean Queen, of Cork, you say?
31091The day is sultry to an extreme, eh?''
31091The other idea which had visited Robert under the aurora-- why should he not himself become the tenant of Daisy Burn?
31091The uncommon toil of the past week was not favourable to spirituality of mind; and which of all the party could become teacher to the others?
31091Then what is the country to do for fuel and the world for ships?''
31091They had been thinking a twin thought--''How will my brother like such quarters as this in the forest?''
31091Twenty by twelve will probably be large enough for the present-- eh, Robert?''
31091Uncle Zack, is that you?''
31091Was he to return to the poor, scantily supplied home, and continue a drag on its resources, lingering out his days in illusive hopes?
31091Was there a contest?''
31091Was this Civil Service appointment worth the weary waiting?
31091Were they not thinking of the Canadian exiles to- day, at home, at dear old Dunore?
31091Whar''s grist to come from, or lumber?
31091What could be done with such a bad hurt as this without a surgeon?
31091What could be the matter?
31091What could she say now but bless him through her tears?
31091What do you say, Wynn?
31091What do you think of forty degrees below zero, stranger?''
31091What do you think of that new Canadian wonder?''
31091What do you think, father?''
31091What has exterminated the salmon in nearly all rivers west of Quebec?
31091What horrid bewilderment had possession of his faculties?
31091What is the reason that where vast quantities of wheat were formerly exported, the soil now grows hardly enough for the people to eat?
31091What is this pretty lake but a mere pool, compared with our Erie and Superior?''
31091What makes that thin incrustation of ice over the trunk and every twig which has been attracting my admiration these three days?
31091What most fortunate fate has thrown us together again?
31091What was his motive for endeavouring to ingratiate himself with young Wynn for the next twenty minutes?
31091What''ll I do with this stick, did ye say, ma''am?
31091What''s he going to do now, I wonder?''
31091What''s them strings of yallow stuff that are hangin''out of the rafthers, an''are like nothin''I see in all my days,''cept shavin''s?''
31091When it was done--''What''s the rate of speed of this work?''
31091Where are your boxes?''
31091Who has not felt this beside Lodore, or Foyers, or Torc?
31091Why are these forests more inflammable than those in the old world?''
31091Why may we reckon with almost certainty on a degree of soft weather to- morrow?''
31091Why should not the gospel be preached to these our brothers, and souls won for Christ from among them?
31091With proper precautions, such as engineers use along the new rail- lines, the burning might be kept within bounds, eh?''
31091Wo n''t you come in, honest man, an''rest awhile, an''it''s himself will be glad to see ye?''
31091Would he let the golden years of his youth slip by, without laying any foundation for independence?
31091Would n''t you go across for them, Bob?
31091Would she come to Cedar Creek and be restored?
31091Would the sleigh- bells ever be heard?
31091You ai n''t disposed to buy''em, are you?
31091You cut a hundred little spouts like this: an''have you an auger?
31091You know the ground, eh?''
31091You might have noticed flights of steps to the doors of the_ habitans_?
31091You rush on for the West, I suppose?''
31091Your servant, I presume?''
31091all well at home?
31091and how do you ever expect that salmon can climb over that barrier?
31091asked Armytage,''those who lived near the cedar swamp?''
31091asked Mr. Callaghan,''an''what description of baste?''
31091called Robert into the cottage adorned with flowers in front,''is this polling day?''
31091have you a headache?''
31091he rejoined, casting a melting tenderness into voice and manner;''without a relation that ever was?''
31091in accents of unfeigned surprise;''not unless ye drove me with a whip an''kicked me-- is it your poor fostherer Andy Callaghan?
31091is it possible?''
31091that''s sharp tradin'', I guess?''
31091what''s that?''
31091what''s that?''
31091what''s this?''
31091what''s this?''
31091why did we ever lave it?''
31091ye''d throw the stick at me, would ye?''
31091you crathur, is it trying which yer head or the road is the hardest, ye are?
31091you want nothing?
31091your highly honoured father?
12179A girl,said I deceitfully,"traveling afoot and alone on the prairie?
12179Ah, Mrs. Mobley,said Buck,"anything for me?"
12179Ah, it''s you, Mr. Vandemark, is it?
12179Ai n''t he purty?
12179An''dat patent churn-- dat bane for Christina, too, eh, Yake?
12179An''that adopted daughter o''theirn, Buck Gowdy''s sister- in- law, eh?
12179And was his wife a quiet, kind of sad- looking woman that never said much?
12179And what good would it do anyhow?
12179And where did you get breakfast?
12179And where were you, my poor boy,said she,"when she moved?"
12179And you have n''t seen any lone girl or woman at all, even at a distance?
12179And,sneered Mr. Wisner crushingly,"how long does it take a man to clear and grub out and subdue enough land in Herkimer County to make a living on?
12179Anything more I can do for you?
12179Are n''t you afraid, Teunis?
12179Are you Mrs. Gowdy''s sister?
12179At your house?
12179Be friends,I blundered,"be friends?
12179But do n''t you understand,he insisted,"that this trip has got to end here?
12179But is n''t there a man among them?
12179But that man-- won''t he follow our tracks?
12179But where''s my land?
12179Ca n''t you cook?
12179Ca n''t you think where he stays?
12179Can we be of any assistance?
12179Can you fight?
12179Can you shoot?
12179Can you tell me the way to the schoolhouse?
12179Can you understand what I''m saying?
12179Christina who?
12179Could you go?
12179Did n''t you have any trouble in Dubuque?
12179Did she ever leave word for you anywhere,asked the woman,"before you ran away?"
12179Did she mention me?
12179Did they?
12179Did you ever see his wife?
12179Did you ever see,said she,"such a set of darned infarnal fools as we are?"
12179Did you notice his wife-- whether she seemed to be feeling well?
12179Did you notice,said I,"that for miles we drove in the water-- back there on the prairie after the rain?"
12179Did you pick up any passengers as you came along?
12179Do n''t you hear the bell?
12179Do n''t you know that?
12179Do n''t you know,said the captain,"that you ortn''t to pound a feller with a horseshoe?
12179Do n''t you remember that we drove up over a spur of the hill back there? 12179 Do n''t you think so?"
12179Do n''t, eh?
12179Do you ever go to church?
12179Do you know any one,she asked,"good people-- along the road ahead-- people we''ll overtake-- that would be friends to a girl that needs help?"
12179Do you love her like that?
12179Do you think I want my bed all dirtied up with''em?
12179Do you want me to sign it?
12179Do you want six inches o''cold steel in your liver?
12179Do you want what I know about the history of Vandemark Township in your book, or are you just out after my money?
12179Friend of yours?
12179Glad to make your acquaintance,said Gowdy;"and may I crave the acquaintance of our young Argonaut here?"
12179Going across?
12179Going with us after all? 12179 Got any saleratus?"
12179Had a wife and no children?
12179Hain''t you never goin''to grow up?
12179Have you ever worked?
12179Have you room for a passenger?
12179Heavy loaded?
12179How are you going to get to Canada?
12179How can I get this money away from him?
12179How could we come without leaving tracks?
12179How do we know it is money? 12179 How do you do, Jacob?
12179How do you do, Teunis?
12179How do you know it''s worthless?
12179How is our farm?
12179How is the white heifer?
12179How much money would it take?
12179How old be you, Jake?
12179How will you get me back on land?
12179How you going, Judge?
12179I am surprised, and there''s no woman out there with the poor little thing?
12179I do n''t want to,said she,"I could n''t stay here, could I?
12179I guess that''s the man,said I;"do you know where he is now?"
12179I think I recognize that wagon, do n''t I?
12179I''ve run for county office and got beat,said Wilbur:"and that takes you in, too, do n''t it, Jake?"
12179If they knew that we were out with all this money, do n''t you suppose they would be after it? 12179 If you want that Iowa farm, pa--""Who?"
12179Is anybody in sight?
12179Is it a good country for a boy to locate in?
12179Is it deep?
12179Is it far?
12179Is it on this awful prairie?
12179Is it that man?
12179Is n''t the sweat of your face just as plenty when you delve in the prairies?
12179Is she a relative of yours?
12179Is there any plow- land on it?
12179Is there anything I can do?
12179Is there preaching here to- day?
12179Is this the Vandemark schoolhouse?
12179Jacob,said she, with a sort of gasp,"you wonder why I kissed you up there, do n''t you?"
12179Jake,said she,"are you and Rowena married?"
12179Jake,said the judge,"whose house is that we just passed?"
12179Kin you?
12179Kind of a tall man with a sandy beard? 12179 Land already entered?"
12179Locating over at our new town of Lithopolis, is n''t he? 12179 Look like me?"
12179Make who give it back?
12179May I offer,said he,"the hospitalities of the city in the form of a hot whisky toddy?"
12179Mike Cosgrove, ai n''t that his name?
12179My name''s Gowdy,he said;"all you people going west for your health?"
12179No,I answered;"and I guess if any of them had seen her they''d have mentioned it, would n''t they?"
12179No,said I;"have you?"
12179Now, Jake,said he,"will you behave?"
12179Now,said she, coming and sitting down by me, and laying her hand on mine,"ai n''t this more like it?
12179Oh, has she? 12179 Or are you scared of the Bunkers?"
12179Over your head?
12179Rowena,I shouted,"what you doin''here?
12179Safe?
12179Shall I go, Jake?
12179So you are going to fight Kaintucky?
12179So, ignorant as I am, I kept a school last summer-- did you know that?
12179Somebody wants me?
12179Stranger here?
12179Sure?
12179The preacher''s wife?
12179Then why do you change?
12179They said.... Do you say she''s at your house? 12179 This ai n''t little Jake, is it?"
12179To- day?
12179Was he going on east?
12179We?
12179Well,I said,"who be you chasing, coming over here a dozen times when I did n''t know it?
12179Well,said he,"what do you and your friend say?
12179What are you goin''to do with me, Jake?
12179What can I do for you- all?
12179What can you do?
12179What can you do?
12179What crops have you planted?
12179What d''ye mean?
12179What did they say?
12179What did you shoot for?
12179What difference does it make? 12179 What do you mean?"
12179What do you need?
12179What do you regard as the qualifications?
12179What do you think of Virginia''s dress and shawl?
12179What do you think of that kind of talk?
12179What do you want?
12179What for?
12179What good would that do?
12179What in hell,asked the hired man when they got outside,"did you hit me for with that blasted strap?"
12179What interests?
12179What is it?
12179What is it?
12179What kept you so long?
12179What kind of a gun?
12179What made that old road?
12179What makes you call this a station?
12179What of?
12179What said the old man, Yake?
12179What seems to be the matter? 12179 What steps are you takin''?"
12179What time was that?
12179What was the next thing, Rowena?
12179What water is that?
12179What will happen,said Thatcher,"if this young man tells any one that he''s seen you?"
12179What will you do with me, Jacob?
12179What''s his name?
12179What''s the matter of your hands?
12179What''s the matter, Jacob?
12179What''s the matter, little girl?
12179What''s the matter?
12179What''s up?
12179What''s wanted, gentlemen?
12179What?
12179When you go back,said he,"if I do n''t, will you do me and this little offspring of mine-- and its mother-- a favor?"
12179Where are the other corners?
12179Where are we?
12179Where did Sally go?
12179Where do you live?
12179Where have you lived all your life?
12179Where is he?
12179Where is he?
12179Where is he?
12179Where is she?
12179Where shall I ride?
12179Where''s Rowena?
12179Where''s Rucker?
12179Where''s he?
12179Where''s my land?
12179Where''s my mother?
12179Where''s your folks?
12179Which way is Monterey Centre?
12179Who do you expect to meet in Canada?
12179Who is she?
12179Who you driving for, Johnny?
12179Who you driving for, Johnny?
12179Who''s sick, Jake?
12179Who''s there?
12179Who, me dying?
12179Who?
12179Who?
12179Whose brat is this?
12179Whose rig is that?
12179Why are n''t you safe here? 12179 Why did n''t she write to you?"
12179Why do n''t you bring Virginia out some day?
12179Why do n''t you go on the railroad?
12179Why, Jacob, Jakey,he drooled,"is this you?
12179Why, Teunis,she cried,"is it you?
12179Why, grandpa,she cried,"what''s the matter?
12179Why?
12179Why?
12179Why?
12179Why?
12179Why?
12179Will this hurt Virginia''s feelings if it is printed?
12179Will you go, Jake?
12179Will you?
12179Wo n''t that be fine?
12179Wot will the world come to, Jack, when younkers like this get a- goin''? 12179 Would it hurt much?
12179Would n''t you lie,said she,"for me?"
12179Would you like to work for me?
12179You ai n''t married, yet, be you?
12179You are just two thoughtless children,said he;"are n''t you now?"
12179You hain''t lost him, have you?
12179You hare, Yake?
12179You hauled him-- and his wife?
12179You have got the money promised you, have you?
12179You have n''t heard any of the people on the road speak of this wandering girl, have you?
12179You''ll sign our petition, wo n''t you?
12179Young man,said he, drawing himself up stiffly,"what do you mean--?"
12179Your mother?
12179''What''s in that bag?''
12179And after all what was I to her but a stranger?
12179And if so, what about me?
12179And to- night I pop some corn if you furnish butter, hey?"
12179And what could you and Mr. Stone do against such robbers?"
12179And where, most emphatically, where was Rowena?
12179Any one waiting to rob us would be on the regular road, would n''t they?"
12179Are you dying, my darling?"
12179Are you sick?
12179Ask Dick McGill, eh, Jake?
12179At that rate, what was this swamp worth?
12179But wars are fought by inconsistent men who suffer and die for other people''s ideas: do n''t you think so?
12179But why were the dress and shawl smuggled into her room, instead of being brought openly?
12179But, I thought, what could she do?
12179Ca n''t a Dutchman see a joke?"
12179Calls himself Doctor Rucker?"
12179Can anything more clearly prove the vanity of human experiences?
12179Can you drive?"
12179Did ever any peril turn to any one a face so full of clemency and tenderness as this blizzard to me?
12179Did he have any legal right to her control and custody?
12179Did n''t I think I''d like it if I changed my way of writing my name to J. Teunis Vandemark?
12179Did some one mean to fix it so the Bunkers would rob us of the satchel and thus let everybody off?
12179Did the Bushyagers know about the satchel?
12179Did they know it was full of salt instead of money?
12179Did you hear it jingle?"
12179Did you see him hugging them girls?
12179Did you see him kissing them?"
12179Do n''t that beat doing everything yourself?
12179Do n''t you know enough to use saleratus to sweeten the sour milk?
12179Do n''t you know you''ll get burnt up?"
12179Do n''t you see?"
12179Do you always act like this when you fight?"
12179Do you remember he''s got one finger off?
12179Do you understand, Jacob?"
12179Eh, ma?"
12179Eh?"
12179Ever seen that poverty- stricken, semi- hamlet, squatting on the open prairie, and inhabited by a parcel of dreaming Nimshies?"
12179Father with you?"
12179Finally she said:"Am I wearin''anything you ever seen before, Jake?"
12179Finally,"Did they say anything about me, Jacob?"
12179For what if Virginia, in the schoolhouse without fuel, should try to reach the place where she boarded, or any inhabited house, in that storm?
12179For what other purpose had they come to this patch of woods?
12179Going which way?"
12179Good talker?
12179Had it come to pass in all these weeks and months in which I had not seen her that they had come to be on speaking terms again?
12179Had not she and I cried together over the memory of my mother?
12179Had she not been my intimate companion for weeks, cooked for me, planned for me, advised me, dreamed with me?
12179Has Buckner Gowdy been around here?
12179Has the wind changed?
12179Have you any little calves?"
12179Have you passed such a person?"
12179Have you seen the baby lately?"
12179He was cross, was n''t he?
12179Hear''em jingle?
12179Horses lame?"
12179How be friends?"
12179How could any one be found who had disappeared into that region which swallowed up thousands every month?
12179How did he know my name?
12179How did he know she was invited, or going?
12179How did it happen that I did n''t see your outfit, Mr. Vandemark?
12179How old are you?"
12179I ca n''t remember much that was said; but I remember that the fat woman kept saying,"What do you mean?
12179I might go with a body- guard, eh?"
12179I stay?"
12179I wonder if his knights were not in the main, pretty shabby rascals, as bad as Dick McGill-- or Cow Vandemark?
12179I wonder if it was wrong to feel for her?
12179I wonder if you would n''t like to turn an honest penny by coming over and working for me for a while?"
12179I wondered why Mrs. Mobley had come with an excuse to get Mr. Gowdy away from me-- or after a couple of weeks''thinking, was it from Rowena?
12179If he was a member of the Bunker gang, were n''t the Bushyagers members of it also?
12179If we could locate along o''some of our ol''mates, somebody like old John Tucker,--it would be a-- a paradise, eh, Jake?"
12179Is any one threatening you?
12179Is she very bad?"
12179It did not seem probable that we should be"nepoed"--but, after all, why not?
12179It makes her dizzy-- and scares her awfully; can you take her?"
12179It would n''t be breakin''the Sabbath to mix up a bakin''for a poor ol''bach like you, would it?
12179Judge Stone was a much nicer man than the governor to meet up with, but-- well, what''s the use?
12179Judge Stone whispered in my ear, looking anxiously around,"have you seen the governor in the last half or three- quarters of an hour?"
12179Kind of plausible talker?
12179Lucky I was right about its being a single- barrel, ai n''t it?
12179May I?"
12179Monterey Centre-- ever been there?
12179Never thought of this when you were in jail, did you?"
12179Not Rucker, eh?"
12179Of course I''m yours-- and you are mine, Teunis-- ain''t you?"
12179Of course, he would be on Buck Gowdy''s side; for what rights had such people as Magnus and Rowena and I?
12179Oh, why ca n''t they all be good like you, Teunis?"
12179Or maybe you want bread baked?
12179Pretty well fixed?
12179Railway?"
12179See anybody you knew on the way?"
12179Sellin''gawp- seed, or what is your business?"
12179She ai n''t goin''with you?
12179She spoke of the day when I was in my heart the meanest: but how could I explain?
12179She was crying so that she did not hear me when I asked:"Why ca n''t we go on as we are?
12179Should I go back to the canal?
12179Show it to me, Jacob?"
12179Sick?"
12179So, Vandemark, you think I need killing, eh?"
12179Sure it''s in this county?"
12179That''s why you bought that mustang pony, eh?"
12179The lawyer, Jackway, my guardian_ ad litem_, came into the tavern in a high and mighty and popular way, saying"How de do, ward?"
12179The smoke swept down upon her, and when I next could see, she was stooped with her shawl drawn around her head; or was she on her knees?
12179This was serious; but when I said to myself that the East would never secede, the question, Why not?
12179To whom could she be speaking?
12179Used to live down east of Syracuse?
12179Vandemark?"
12179Virginia was now as free from care as if she had been traveling with her brother; and what could I say?
12179Want her?
12179Want to see him?"
12179Was I to be killed to save Judge Stone, or Governor Wade, and if so, which?
12179Was it honest to let Dunlap and Thatcher drive off to liberate the nation with a horse that might go lame?
12179Was she not scorning me even now?
12179Was the plan to have the bag of"treasure"stolen from us by the Bunker gang a part of the scheme of whoever took the money?
12179We say"thank you"to the man who pays us for a day''s wages; but why, if the work is worth the money?
12179Went out west three years ago?
12179What about Rowena?
12179What color is it?"
12179What could it be?
12179What did I want to say?
12179What do you expect to do on the prairies?"
12179What do you mean?
12179What had he been coming over for?
12179What is it?
12179What is title to land anyhow, but the right of those who have it to hold on to it?
12179What kind of land have you been farming in the past?"
12179What shall I do?"
12179What should I do without her?
12179What should I do?
12179What use to me were wheat in the shock, hay in the stack, cattle on the prairie, corn already hiding the ground?
12179What was a week''s time to me?
12179What was it?"
12179What was my idea in driving cows?
12179What would Gowdy do to get Virginia back?
12179What would happen if everything in the lives of us folks out here was to be told, especially as it would be told in Dick McGill''s paper?
12179What would she do without me?
12179What''s this manuscript you''re destroying?
12179What''s wanted?"
12179When did I think of getting under way?
12179Where are you two bound for?"
12179Where did you get''em, Virginia?"
12179Where did you stay last night?"
12179Where was Ma Fewkes, and where were Celebrate Fourth and Surajah Dowlah?
12179Where was my mother?
12179Where would I have been?"
12179Where you goin''?"
12179Which way are you going?"
12179Which will you do?"
12179Who else had the key to the office or knew how to open that safe?
12179Who was guilty?
12179Who''s with her?"
12179Whose business was it anyhow?
12179Why ca n''t every one be wise like us?"
12179Why had I not used my opportunity to make her love me-- to force from her the confession of her love?
12179Why not use my power?
12179Why not?
12179Why?
12179Will it bring her back to life for you to stretch hemp?"
12179Will you have the papers opened, and act for the dead scoundrel if it seems the proper thing to do?
12179Will you stay here, and not move out of this room till I come back?"
12179Will you, Jacob?
12179Wo n''t you and the doctor join me in a night- cap in honor of our neighborship; and drink to better acquaintance?
12179Wo n''t you come to dinner with us?"
12179Would he try at all?
12179Would it not all have to come out finally?
12179Would n''t that be more like livin''?"
12179Would she have done this if I had been driving oxen, or still worse, those animals which few thought worth anything as draught animals-- cows?
12179Would she not laugh at me with some more forceful man when she had found him?
12179You hare, Yake?
12179You never have but about one mother, do you, Jake?
12179Your house bane burn up in fire?"
12179made with my own hands, mainly?
12179said Henderson L."You ca n''t be expected to set up with it like it had typhoid fever, can you?
13970''Tarnal death to me, ar''nt I to do her fighting first?
13970''Tarnal death to me,said Ralph,"thar''s a boiling- pot above and a boiling pot below; but ar''n''t I the crittur to shake old Salt by the fo''-paw?
13970And I am free again? 13970 And I, too,"said the Virginian, with such calmness us he could,"I, too, am to meet the same fate?"
13970And Stackpole, what will they do with him?
13970And a clear mark, Tom?--no mistake in it?
13970And arn''t I the ramping tiger of the Rolling Fork?
13970And does Mr. Bruce, or his wife, know of your desire to leave him?
13970And his mark, that you were talking of in such mysterious terms,--what is that?
13970And how long does thee think it will keep open? 13970 And how shall we avoid these five villains before us?"
13970And it was your fire, then, that checked us?
13970And pray, Nathan,said Colonel Bruce, rousing him from his meditations,"what may your news for the poor people be?
13970And such scoundrels you make officers of?
13970And war it_ not_?
13970And whar are you going?
13970And whar did you learn this precious news?
13970And whar_ is_ the brute, Stackpole? 13970 And where shall we betake us?"
13970And who then is the old Black- Vulture,he asked,"that he should drive from your mind even the thought of my poor wretched Edith?"
13970And who, if you please, is Nick of the Woods?
13970And who, who was it that rescued me? 13970 And who,"said Forrester,"may the old fellow be?
13970And who,said Roland,"is Roaring Ralph Stackpole?
13970And why should we believe there_ are_ Indians in the wood?
13970And why should we? 13970 And why, in Heaven''s name,"cried the Virginian,"did you not say so before, and relieve her from this horrible situation?"
13970And you have found my mistress?
13970And you wo n''t have her, then?
13970And your terms,said Roland, smothering his fury as he could,"imply an understanding that my cousin is to be surrendered to him?"
13970Are we in enchanted land, that our horses must be frightened, as well as ourselves?
13970But how, in heaven''s name, came you here a prisoner? 13970 But the emigrants, my friends?
13970But the will, the cussed old will?
13970But they were avenged?
13970But where is the girl? 13970 But why need we,"he said,"trouble ourselves to find reasons for the poor girl''s opposition?
13970Come, Ralph,said the commander of the Station,"whar''d''you steal that brown mar''thar?"
13970Did n''t I say I could help you to the major''s lands and houses? 13970 Does Wenonga, at last, feel he has brought a devil upon his people?"
13970Friend,he said,"what does thee seek of me, that thee treats me thus?"
13970Friend,said Nathan, meekly,"I did what I could,--but, truly, what could I?
13970Has thee no foe, then, at home, whom thee has theeself wronged to that point that he would willingly league with murdering Injuns to take thee life?
13970How can that be? 13970 I am glad to hear it,"was the soldier''s reply;"but now for your question?"
13970I say, strannger, here''s my shoulders,--but whar''s my head?--Do you reckon I had the worst of it?
13970Is it possible,said Roland,"that any one can believe such an absurd story?"
13970Is it the Captain?
13970Is it the captain?
13970It war''n''t a white man?
13970It was at least somewhat surprising,Roland could not avoid saying,"that the fellow should have found you already equipt in the woods?"
13970It''s all right, captain!--But where''s Dick? 13970 My mother?"
13970Old feller,said Captain Ralph,"you wo n''t pretend you knows more of the place than me?
13970Perhaps,said Doe,"you do n''t believe in the crittur?"
13970Speak low, and look across the river,whispered the guide, in reply;"does thee see the light glimmering among the rocks by the roadside?"
13970Surely, Colonel,said Roland,"you will not allow that mad ruffian to assail the poor man?"
13970The Upper Ford?
13970The emigrants,he continued with incoherent haste;--"you brought them?
13970The horse will be recovered?
13970The man has some spirit now and then; but whar''s the use of it, while he''s nothing but a no- fight quaker? 13970 The miscreant that entered the cabin-- did you kill him?"
13970The terms, the terms?
13970Their scalps? 13970 They han''t murdered you then?
13970Truly,said Nathan, looking embarrassed,"I would do what I could for thee, but--""_ But!_ Do you hesitate?"
13970Upper Blue Licks of Licking,said Bruce;"and war''nt they troubles enough for a season?
13970Was it possible,he asked of himself,"the girl could be at fault?"
13970Well, and did n''t I act accordin''? 13970 Well, supposing she is?"
13970Well,said Atkinson,"and you''ll marry my gal?"
13970Whar war the use,said Bruce;"whar was the use of disturbing a tired man in his nap, and he a guest of mine too?"
13970Whar''s Dick Bruce?
13970Whar''s the fellow?
13970Whar''s the use, captain? 13970 Whar''s your buffalo- bull,"he cried,"to cross horns with the roarer of Salt River?
13970Whar?
13970What good can come of it?
13970What in Heaven''s name is the matter?
13970What is it you see?
13970What is the matter?
13970What is the matter?
13970What tracks are they?
13970What''s the matter, Tom Bruce?
13970What, by the holy hokey, and_ a''n''t_ you?
13970What, in Heaven''s name,said Roland, overcome by the man''s volubility and alarm together,--"what means all this?
13970What,said Roland,"is she not then your child?"
13970Who is the Jibbenainosay?
13970Who spoke?
13970Who?
13970Why not meet the villains in their own way? 13970 Why not?"
13970You have, Tom,said the colonel, with somewhat a husky voice--"to the travelling strannger, to mother, father, and all--""And to Kentucky?"
13970You switches gentlemen, do you, you exflunctified, perditioned rascal? 13970 You will not remain behind us?"
13970You_ ar''n''t_ hanged then, after all?
13970Your mother would surely never consent to your being a servant?
13970_ echoed Forrester, amazed as much at the word as at the fierce visage of his friend,--what is that?
13970''Tarnal death to me, whar''s the Injuns?
13970( Does thee remember_ that_, Peter?)
13970Am I a dog?
13970Am I_ now_?
13970An did n''t you yourself sw''ar ag''in shaking paws with me, and treat me as if I war no gentleman?
13970And as for keeping her among these d----d brutes, the Injuns-- for brutes they are captain, there''s no denying it--""Why need you speak of it more?
13970And besides, did n''t that etarnal old Bruce fob me off with a beast good for nothing, and talk big to me besides?
13970And he seemed to command the party, did he not?"
13970And it''s my notion, father--""Well, Tom, what is it?"
13970And such indeed he was, as was shown by the first words he answered in reply to Bruce''s demand"what was the matter?"
13970And thar''s his marks, captain,--what do you make of_ that_?
13970And the gal, too?"
13970And then I thought, and says I,''"Tarnal death to me, who are they after?''
13970And wharfo''?
13970And why?
13970And you murdered the poor child?"
13970And, besides, who''s to stop your cheating the gal that has nobody to take care of her, when you gits her in Virginny, where I darn''t follow her?
13970Ar''n''t I a ring- tailed squealer?
13970Ar''n''t you got it, you niggur- in- law to old Satan?
13970Are there Indians behind us?"
13970Are you easy now, honest Jack?
13970Before that time Edith, I was under the domination of my angel; who then called, or who deemed me, a villain?
13970But I see how it is; he left all to the young lady?"
13970But I should like to know where''s the good of keeping the gal from her, since it''s all she has for comfort?"
13970But how is this, Nathan?"
13970But how were they to be made acquainted with his situation?
13970But is not this an adventure for a woman that never before looked upon a cut finger without fainting?
13970But it will offend you, cousin?"
13970But the emigrants, my friends?
13970But the probabilities of relief, what were they?
13970But you had humanity,--you did something?"
13970But you leave some of your people h''yar: what force do you tote down to the Falls to- morrow?"
13970But you''ll remember her, captain?
13970But, I reckon, the ramscallions took to the liquor?
13970But, I say, Nathan, what''s the last news from the abbregynes and anngelliferous madam?"
13970But, I say, Tom,"continued the Kentuckian, as the three left the porch together,"who brought the news?"
13970But, afore we begin, I''ve jist got a matter to ax you: and that is,--how the h---- you cleared the old Piankeshaw and his young uns?"
13970But, captain, what''s to become of the crittur when I''am done for?
13970But--""But what?"
13970Can thee hold out the hovel till morning?
13970Did n''t he fling me, and kick me, and bite me into the bargain, the cursed savage?
13970Did you see the licking I gin this here feller?
13970Do I not know it all?"
13970Do n''t you hear''em yelling?
13970Does thee boggle at the skin, because of its hardness?
13970Does thee hear me, friend?
13970Does thee hear, friend?
13970Does thee not fear how he whines and snuffs along the grass?
13970Does thee not know the tracks of thee own horses?"
13970Does thee not see how brightly the fire blazes on the water?
13970From whom do you expect it?
13970Get up, man, and tell me, since you will tell me nothing else, what the devil you are dreaming about?"
13970Had they done so by thee, friend,"he demanded with eagerness,"had they done so by_ thee_, what would thee have done to them?"
13970Has thee forgot the Injun army is on the north side, and all the fighting- men of the Stations gone to meet them?
13970Have you any particular longing to be out of this here Injun town, and well shut of the d-- d fire torture?"
13970Here was my little boy,--does thee see?
13970How kill Jibbenainosay?
13970I jist want to ax you where you picked up that Injun- looking feller that was lugging off the gal, and what his natur''?
13970I never feared a white man: why should I fear a white man''s devil?
13970I reckon you wo n''t say the sodger, that we had there trapped up fast in the cabin, put the cross on that Injun too?"
13970I stole your hoss thar:--well, whar''s the harm?
13970I told her I''d murder her, if she went near her agin-- a full- blooded, rale- grit rascal to talk so to my own daughter, an''t I?
13970I who am robbed of everything?"
13970I wonder whar''s his cocked hat, and feather, and goold epaulets?
13970If thee had no footmen with thee, could thee have none_ after_ thee?
13970If you tell the truth, there is no time left for deliberation; if a falsehood--""Why should we wait upon the road to question and wonder?"
13970In a word, my Edith,--for why should I, who am now the master of your fate, forbear the style of a conqueror?
13970In the name of heaven, where am I, and whither am I going?"
13970Is Wenonga insensible to the beauty of his guest?
13970Is the horse hurt?"
13970Is thee wretched, because thee eyes did not see the Injun axe struck into her brain?
13970It was_ you_, then, that saved me?
13970Marry her''s the tarms; and, I reckon, you''ll allow, they''re easy ones?"
13970Medicine- man tell Injun- man why medicine- man come Injun town?
13970Medicine- man tell Wenonga all Jibbenainosay?--where find Jibbenainosay?
13970Mr. Bruce is not then your father?"
13970Now, friend, does thee hear me?
13970Oh, basest of all that bear the name of man, how could you do this villany?"
13970Or mayhap,"he added, more temperately,"you''re agin taking her because of my being sich a d-- d notorious rascal?
13970Or why go out of the tent of Wenonga at all?
13970Our only path of escape, you said, was over this ridge, and towards yonder Lower Ford?"
13970Perhaps you''ve h''ard him tell of big Tom Bruce,--for so they called me then?
13970Peter, hist!--Truly, this is a pretty piece of business for thee, Nathan Slaughter!--Does thee not hear them close at hand?"
13970Shall I attack them?
13970Shall I remind my fair Edith how much of her hostility and scorn I owed to her hot and foolish kinsman?
13970So pops I in, and paddles I down, till I comes to the rocks,--and ar''n''t they beauties?
13970So, whar''s anngelliferous madam?
13970Speak to me-- I shall go distracted: what must we do?--what_ can_ we do?"
13970Surely, there are none here unkind to you?"
13970The Kentuckian observing her at the same time, called to her,--"What, Telie, my girl, are you working upon a holiday?
13970Thee asked me in the wood, what I would do in such case, having arms in my hand?
13970Thee hears, friend?
13970Thee talks of assistance-- what is thee thinking about?
13970Thee thought I had deserted thee?
13970Thee understands me?
13970They are pursuing the savages?
13970This person you speak of,--what is to be his fate?"
13970Up and away-- does thee not hear Peter howling at the door?
13970War it to- day, or yesterday, or the day before?
13970Was I then a robber and persecutor of the orphan?
13970Was it a rescue?
13970Well, did you ever hear of a certain honest feller of old Augusta, called John Atkinson?"
13970Well, then, what''s to become of the poor gal, that ha''n''t no friend in the big world to care for her?
13970Well, what was it?
13970Whar will they have such another chance?
13970Whar''s Ikey Jones, the fifer?
13970Whar''s the man dar''s insinivate that?
13970Whar''s the man to fight Roaring Ralph Stackpole?"
13970Whar''s your cat of the Knobs?
13970Whar''s your full- blood colt that can shake a saddle off?
13970What cause have you to say so?"
13970What have we to mourn in the world we have left behind us?
13970What is that?"
13970What said the villain?"
13970What will thee have with me?"
13970What''s an heir at law agin a will?
13970What_ can_ I do?"
13970When you find an Injun lying scalped and tomahawked, it stands to reason thar war something to kill him?"
13970Where is the Jibbenainosay, the curse of my tribe?--the Shawneewannaween, the howl of my people?
13970Where shall_ we_ look for the friends and kinsfolk, that the meanest of the company are finding among yonder noisy barbarians?"
13970Where will she look for a better?
13970Who then is the heir?"
13970Why did thee desert the ruin?
13970Why might not_ he_, a man and soldier, guarded by only three foemen, succeed, as others had succeeded, in freeing himself?
13970Why should not_ you_?
13970Why, then, should not I?
13970Will this satisfy you all is safe?"
13970Will you not ride forward, and salute the good people that are making us welcome?"
13970Would it not be possible to cut their way through the besiegers?
13970Would you lie still, like a fettered ox, to be butchered?"
13970Yet why should she betray such distress, if they were upon the right one?
13970Yonder hovels, lowly, mean, and wretched-- are they the mansions that should shelter the child of my father''s brother?
13970You do n''t go for to say you ever stole a hoss here?"
13970You han''t killed him among you?"
13970You have seen the Jibbenainosay, perhaps, or his mark thar- away on the Kentucky?"
13970You saw that''ere Injun, dead, in the woods under the tree, where the five scouters had left him a living man?"
13970You take the gal back, and the cry is,''Where''s the true gal, the major''s daughter?''
13970You understand me, eh?
13970You were not brought here a prisoner?"
13970You will not fight, yet you may counsel.--What shall I do?
13970You wo n''t give him up to the murderers?
13970_ they_ are at least urging the pursuit?
13970_ you_ help me?
13970_ you_ that killed the accursed cut- throats?
13970alone?"
13970and Telie Doe is my uncle''s child, the lost heiress?"
13970and a''n''t they a fortun''for an emperor?"
13970and ar''n''t that luck enough for any feller?
13970and ar''n''t you got him ag''in as good as ever?
13970and is not Colonel Johnson, with his emigrants, there?"
13970and warn''t that all fa''r provocation?
13970and what has he to do with Brown Briarens?"
13970and what have you done with him?"
13970and who was it led thee through the canes?
13970and why do you call him Bloody Nathan?"
13970and why, in fact, should she not be supposed to know both the right and the wrong, since she had, as she said, so frequently travelled both?
13970and you riz on''em, and so paid''em up scot and lot, according to their desarvings?
13970are you besotted?
13970are you not yet content?"
13970cried Captain Ralph;"and ca n''t I eat him, hoss, dog, dirty jacket, and all?
13970cried Ralph Stackpole, springing towards his man, and clapping his hands, one on Nathan''s left shoulder, the other on his right hip:"Are you ready?"
13970cried Ralph, in dudgeon;"you ar''n''t for doing all, and the hoss- stealing too?"
13970cried Roland, at this part of the story,--"it was_ your_ light we took for the watch- fire of Indians?"
13970cried Roland,"have we then been labouring only to approach the cut- throats?
13970cried Roland;"a friend lying by me during that hour, the most wretched and distracted of my whole existence?
13970cried the Virginian, in extreme indignation:"will you leave us to perish, when you, and you alone, can guide us from the forest?"
13970cried the father in surprise and concern:"you ar''n''t had a hit, Tom?"
13970cried the senior, eagerly,--"not in our limits?"
13970demanded Forrester,"and why do you talk of murdering?"
13970demanded Roland, himself taking the alarm:"are you frighted at your own kettles?"
13970do you hear?
13970do you tell me you would stand by and see them murdered?--I say, a wife or child!--the wife of your bosom,--the child of your heart?
13970does thee hear?"
13970does thee think thee is in thee own parlour with thee women at home, that thee shouts so loud and laughs so merrily?
13970echoed Nathan, with accents more disturbed than ever;"would thee have me a murderer?
13970echoed Roland, his anxiety banishing the disgust with which he was so much inclined to regard the worthy horse- thief;"what makes you say that?"
13970exclaimed Edith, anticipating the soldier''s news from his countenance;"the good man can save us?"
13970free, free!--And the savages?
13970ha''nt you no better idea of what''s manners for a Cunnel''s daughters?
13970hark, dunt you hear''em squeaking?
13970have you come to boast the fruits of your rascally crime?"
13970he cried, at the close of his narration;"how can it be doubted?
13970help me to_ them_?"
13970how he persuaded her the love she so naturally bore so near a relative was reason enough to reject the affection of a suitor?
13970how shall I ever forget it?"
13970how shall I ever requite the act?
13970is it_ you_?"
13970muttered the young man, with a bitter voice;"who is there on earth, Edith, to welcome us?
13970my poor friendless cousin?"
13970or a woman?
13970or does thee know thee is in a wild Kentucky forest, with murdering Injuns all around thee?"
13970or war it a whole year ago?
13970roared Ralph, pointing downwards with triumph,"arn''t that old Salt now, looking as sweet and liquorish as a whole trough- full of sugar- tree?
13970said Atkinson,"I reckon you''d not be exactly the man to help her to her rights?"
13970said Edith, riding back to her:"You see, my cousin is positive: you must surely be mistaken?"
13970said Ralph, with great indignation;"ar''n''t I jist been slicked out of the paws of five mortal abbregynes that had me in the tugs?
13970said Roland, his dream, for so he esteemed it, recurring to his mind:"is there then a Lower Ford?"
13970said Roland, in amazement,"do you take us for wild Indians?"
13970said Roland, warmly,"would you not defend your life from the villains?
13970said Roland,"a dream?
13970said Roland,"did you pass the Ford?
13970said Roland,"was Crawford''s company beaten?"
13970said Roland,"why should you drive me to despair?
13970said Stackpole,"arn''t thee the Pennsylvanny war- horse, the screamer of the meeting- house, the ba''r of Yea- Nay- and- Verily?"
13970said the other, with a laugh:"and yet who knows how the wind may blow_ you_?
13970said the soldier,"what has this to do with danger?"
13970steal Injun hoss?
13970steal Injun prisoner?
13970that axe wielded by a human auxiliary?
13970the vile, murdering Piankeshaws?
13970there is a hope they will retake her?"
13970they have rescued her?
13970those sounds of feet dying away in the distance, were they the steps of a deliverer?
13970told of your fixin''; beat to arms, flew ahead, licked the enemy,--and ha''n''t we extarminated''em?"
13970unaided?
13970was that shot fired by a friend?
13970whar you going?
13970whar''s the man?"
13970whar''s your guns and your horses?
13970what are you after?"
13970what are you doing?
13970what can I do to save her?
13970where shall I find means to repay you?
13970where shall we find arms?
13970where would thee seek assistance?
13970where''s Dick Braxley?
13970whispered Nathan;--"if thee misses, thee loses thee maiden and thee life into the bargain.--Is thee ready?"
13970would you kill the man before the eyes of his own natteral- born daughter?
13970would you see_ them_ murdered?"
13970wretched Edith!--Was ever wretch so miserable as I?"
13970you wo n''t leave me?"
13970you''tarnal half- imp, you?
13970your knives and your tomahawks?
13970your wolf of the Rolling Prairies?
17844A bit, though?
17844A cattle- man, and not refresh yourself with good liquor? 17844 A real one?"
17844A writer?
17844Absolutely none?
17844Afraid of what?
17844Ai n''t that a hoss- carcass?
17844Ai n''t that an island, that brown patch out there, pretty well over to the other side? 17844 Am I to-- to stay with you?"
17844Am I-- mad?
17844Am I-- young? 17844 And I--"he queried,"are you afraid of me?"
17844And alone?
17844And he does n''t intend ever to return?
17844And he never found it?
17844And never-- marry him?
17844And should I refuse?
17844And what are you going to do now?
17844And what is its meaning?
17844And why, if you please, should it be more remarkable that I am unhappy than another?
17844And you just-- tell of it?
17844And you understand?
17844And you were not serious when you refused to talk with me?
17844And you will sail with me in ten days?
17844And, by the way, while you''re about it, is he six or sixty? 17844 And-- the man who shot him?"
17844Anything else, son?
17844Anything you wish to say, Benjamin?
17844Are n''t you going to build a fire?
17844Are n''t you going to give me what''s coming?
17844Are n''t you going to kiss me first, Benjamin?
17844Are n''t you happy here, Flossie?
17844Are you against me, too, little girl?
17844Are you angry with me yet?
17844Are you cold, son?
17844Are you hunting Indians or bear?
17844Are you in earnest, Chad,he queried,"or are you just drawing me out?"
17844Are you sick, mamma?
17844Are you too busy to take a ride with me? 17844 Are you up?"
17844Are you very sick, mamma?
17844Are you very sorry?
17844Are you with me, whatever I order?
17844Baker,he asked at last,"what are we going to do for the education of these youngsters of ours?
17844Been some time, has n''t it, since you surprised your stomach with anything like this?
17844Ben Blair,she repeated intensely,"Ben Blair, ca n''t you understand what I meant?
17844Ben, Ben,she wailed,"why did you ever let me come here?
17844Ben, I suppose you mean?
17844Ben,he said at last,"did Mr. Baker hire you to break his horses?
17844Blair?
17844But I can listen, ca n''t I?
17844But first, you''re sure you wo n''t have something more-- an ice, a wee bottle-- anything?
17844But how did you come to get him? 17844 But what?"
17844But why?
17844By the bye,he challenged,"what is it we have to say, anyway?
17844By the way, how are you coming on with your own affair of the heart? 17844 By the way, who is this wonderful being, this Sidwell, I''ve heard so much about the last few hours?"
17844By the way,--Scotty returned the glasses to his nose and sprung the bows over his ears with a snap,--"what day was it that Blair left?
17844By the way,she asked,"where are we going to stay when we arrive, and for how long?"
17844By what right do you ask that?
17844Ca n''t you give me just a little more credit, Mick?
17844Ca n''t you love me in return? 17844 Ca n''t you think of anything that would interest you and broaden your life enough to make it pleasant?"
17844Ca n''t you write a note explaining, and postpone the visit until some other time?
17844Can I help you up?
17844Can you make a fire?
17844Can you tell me whether Mr. Rankin is at home?
17844Cards?
17844Cards?
17844Cards?
17844Care for you? 17844 Care for you?"
17844Carry that, will you?
17844Cattle raising, perhaps?
17844Cold, ai n''t you? 17844 Daddy,"said a pleading voice,"do n''t you-- care for me any more?"
17844Dead?
17844Dead?
17844Did I ever say I would do anything that I did not do?
17844Did it never occur to you that at this particular time I might decide not to go?
17844Did n''t you hear me?
17844Did you ever think how much sport we could have if we owned a couple of hounds?
17844Digging what?
17844Do n''t Mr. Rankin, or-- or anyone-- play with you?
17844Do you mean that seriously?
17844Do you mean you''re really going to get married at last?
17844Do you really believe that?
17844Do you still think I''m afraid?
17844Do you suppose we''d find anything left when we came back in the Spring?
17844Do you wish a third party to hear what we have to say?
17844Do you wonder I want to change, that I want to leave these prairies, much as I like them?
17844Do you wonder,he concluded,"that I am not happy?"
17844Do you,he insinuated gently,"consider the reason she gave an adequate one?
17844Do you?
17844Does any other man doubt me?
17844Does he go it alone up at his ranch?
17844Does he handle the pasteboards?
17844Ever been out there?
17844Ever hear of Gilbert, did you?
17844First of all, then,he went on,"you will admit you were mistaken when you said there was no point where we touched?"
17844Florence Baker, did I ever lie to you?
17844Florence Baker,he said,"on your honor, is he worth it-- is he worth the sacrifice you ask of me?
17844Florence, are you listening?
17844Florence, are you well?
17844Florence,he cried,"are you playing with me?"
17844Florence,said the youth steadily,"I had something more I wished to say to you; will you listen?"
17844For good, you say?
17844For some pet?
17844Forgotten already, was n''t I?
17844Found the horses yet?
17844Got any plan, Kennedy?
17844Got much of a herd, has he?
17844Grannis,he asked directly,"have those horses been taken care of?"
17844He is gone, and you--"I beg your pardon, Mr. Sidwell,interrupted the other,"but suppose we change the subject?"
17844He''s still the big man of the country, I presume?
17844Honestly, now, am I liable to be-- done for, or not?
17844How about it, Bill?
17844How did it happen-- the fire and your mother''s death?
17844How did you know?
17844How do you know I would n''t?
17844How does it happen you''re on him instead of the other?
17844How many of you boys remembers Tom Blair?
17844How much am I hurt, Grannis?
17844How much longer are you going to keep that negro waiting?
17844How were you thinking of going, son?
17844How would it do to move into civilization six months of the year-- the Winter six?
17844How''s it come your name is Blair?
17844How''s the old ranch?
17844I beg your pardon?
17844I dare? 17844 I dare?"
17844I did-- almost, this time, did n''t I?
17844I know Ben''s going would be all right with you, Baker,he explained at last,"but how about your wife?
17844I loved you all the time!--loved you!--and yet I so nearly-- can you ever forgive me?
17844I suppose you have an idea who made that trail?
17844I''d like to ask for information, who is if you ai n''t?
17844I''ve a question to ask you, Rankin; may I ask it without offence?
17844If it were an old fellow like me--"Mr. Baker, I thought you said you really wished me to sit down and chat awhile?
17844If it''s a fair question,he asked,"why do I merit your sympathy?"
17844If the matter were already settled, it would be too late to consider the advisability of the move, would n''t it?
17844Impossible? 17844 In heaven''s name, then,"he said, slowly,"why do you allow it?
17844In other words, is a tragedy any less a tragedy, any more public property, because the actors are dead? 17844 In other words, you expect to take me against my will,--by physical force?"
17844Is n''t the club grill- room good enough for you?
17844Is that all you wished to say?
17844Is that so? 17844 Is that what you stayed to find out?"
17844Is that what you want to tell me? 17844 Is there anything I can do for you, mamma?"
17844It was in the no''thwest you say, and seemed to be quite a way off?
17844It''s early, did you say?
17844It''s funny, is n''t it?
17844Jennie,he said, not unkindly,"Jennie, what''s the matter?"
17844Just for old time''s sake? 17844 Keep awake and call me before daylight, will you?"
17844Looked, have you?
17844Mamma,the child repeated, gently shaking his mother''s shoulder,"wo n''t you let me help myself?"
17844Mr. Baker,he said,"you do not doubt that I love Florence-- that I wish nothing but her good?"
17844My boy,he asked in reply,"were you ever married?"
17844Not if they knew you were very sick, mamma?
17844Nothing to bother about, I judge?
17844Oh, why could n''t I have met you somewhere else, under different circumstances?
17844On your honor, you swear you do not?
17844On your honor?
17844Papa introduced you to Mr. Sidwell, I suppose?
17844Read what, please?
17844Say, Mister,he ventured,"give me a pass to the show, will you?"
17844Serious?
17844Seriously, though,said Scotty, after a moment,"and as long as I''ve told you anyway, what ought I to do under the circumstances?
17844Shall I give her a name?
17844Shall we or shall we not? 17844 She told you-- what-- you say?"
17844She''d laugh at me, you think?
17844Since when did I become your slave, Tom Blair?
17844Since when did you become my owner, body and soul?
17844Since when, pray, has that exalted state of the consciousness begun to inspire terror in you? 17844 Sit down, wo n''t you?"
17844Something?
17844Suppose I should ask it as a favor?
17844Suppose I should decline?
17844Sure?
17844Tell me about him, wo n''t you?
17844Tell me, Rankin,he began,"who is the new- comer, and where did you get him?"
17844That''s all of the story, is it?
17844The others are here too?
17844Think I ought to, Alec?
17844Tighten the cinch a bit, wo n''t you, Ben? 17844 Upon what, if you please, do you base your opinion?"
17844Was it consideration for me that kept you away?
17844Well, what happened?
17844Well,he queried,"what do you think of it?"
17844Well?
17844Were''they''the cowboys?
17844What am I afraid of?
17844What are you doing?
17844What are you going to do with me?
17844What do I owe you altogether, Mick?
17844What do you intend doing?
17844What do you think would be the result? 17844 What happened after they-- got me last night?"
17844What happened? 17844 What if I should refute your theory?"
17844What is it, Ben?
17844What is it, then?
17844What kind of a fellow is he, anyway?
17844What made you stop Mr. Sidwell, papa?
17844What name does your friend give to his work?
17844What part, pray, did he take?
17844What ranch, if I may ask?
17844What speaks the oracle?
17844What time did you see them last, Hoyt?
17844What time was it you saw that smoke, Grannis?
17844What was it, then? 17844 What''d Rankin say?"
17844What''ll you give for him?
17844What''ll you have?
17844What''s the matter with your clothes, Ben?
17844What''s the matter?
17844What''s the matter?
17844What,the boy''s hands went back into his pockets,"what would n''t anyone do, then?"
17844What?
17844When was this mailed?
17844Where am I, Grannis?
17844Where are you going, sonny?
17844Where are you going?
17844Where d''ye suppose the trouble could have been, Graham?
17844Where do you live?
17844Where do you want to go?
17844Where in heaven''s name did you come from? 17844 Where''s Tom Blair, young man?"
17844Where? 17844 Where?"
17844Who be you, anyway, and where''d you come from?
17844Who, if I might ask, invited you to come this way?
17844Why ai n''t there anything to eat, mamma?
17844Why could n''t your mother have been-- different?
17844Why did n''t you let him come in?
17844Why do n''t somebody step in?
17844Why do you wish to know, sir?
17844Why is it that you leave those friends to come here? 17844 Why not, mamma?"
17844Why not, mamma?
17844Why not?
17844Why not?
17844Why so?
17844Why so?
17844Why this sudden change of front?
17844Why, if I may ask?
17844Why,he was leaning a bit forward, his elbow on his knee,"why, Florence Baker, have you done everything in your power to prevent my seeing you?
17844Why?
17844Why?
17844Why?
17844Why?
17844Will you leave your card?
17844Winston Hough,he challenged,"do you wish to remain my friend?"
17844Without an explanation?
17844Wo n''t you be seated?
17844Wo n''t you be seated?
17844Wo n''t you even condescend to suggest channels in which my discourse may flow?
17844Wo n''t you forgive me?
17844Wo n''t you let me help myself, then, mamma?
17844Wo n''t you sit down?
17844Would you like me to return the compliment?
17844Would you like to hear my reasons now?
17844Would you mind telling me why you refuse?
17844Would you really-- like me to?
17844You accept, do you?
17844You are quite sure?
17844You care for me-- you are willing to go-- because you love me?
17844You cut me out?
17844You dare recall that memory, Tom Blair?
17844You do n''t really mean that you want any of those hungry- looking dogs around, do you, Flossie?
17844You do n''t want to stay long?
17844You expect to do nothing more, then?
17844You expect to keep on ranching, then?
17844You have asked her, have you?
17844You have n''t written an answer yet, I judge?
17844You heard who I said would be in charge while I''m away?
17844You knew Jennie Blair, did you?
17844You knew why I came to town, did you not?
17844You know McFadden?
17844You know that my son stands listening, and yet you dare throw my coming to you in my face?
17844You know what Sidwell is-- what the result will be if Florence marries him?
17844You like the city, your new life, as well as you expected, I trust?
17844You mean the big man, sir?
17844You mean we''re to let him go?
17844You really are interested, then? 17844 You really imagine I will do such an unheard- of thing?"
17844You really wish me to chatter on in this way?
17844You remember, then, that you made me a certain promise?
17844You say you and papa evolved this programme?
17844You think he would not follow?
17844You think it''s the duty of some intimate to perform the kindness of this-- touching up process occasionally, do you?
17844You took in the whole show then?
17844You want me to be frank, brutally frank, once more?
17844You wish to know-- what did you say, Ben?
17844You wo n''t be offended if I refuse?
17844You wo n''t be offended, Mr. Sidwell, if I ask you a question?
17844You wo n''t give me more?
17844You''d be willing to help, would you,he suggested,"if you saw a way?"
17844You''d like to hear now what I have to say?
17844You''d really like to know?
17844You''ll-- tell her yourself, you say?
17844You''re quite sure you want to bury your mother here?
17844You''re_ it_, ai n''t you?
17844You''ve talked with her, have you?
17844You?
17844Your mother, then, where is she?
17844Again, problem more difficult, could it be possible that the condition in which they existed was life?
17844Ah, could it be possible-- could it?
17844And Florence Baker, at whom he had glanced?
17844Are n''t you a married man with an ark of refuge always waiting?"
17844Are you prepared to listen?"
17844Are you ready?"
17844Are you ready?"
17844Are you so anxious to get rid of your daughter?"
17844Are you, Florence''s father, going to let her marry Sidwell?"
17844At least you smoke?"
17844At once-- do you hear?"
17844Baker?"
17844Blair?"
17844Blair?"
17844But why, feeling as you must have felt and must still feel, since you''re here, why do you wish to educate this waif boy you''ve picked up?
17844But why, pray?
17844CHAPTER XXV OF WHAT AVAIL?
17844Ca n''t you hear?"
17844Complex product of the higher civilization, mixture of good and bad, who knows what thoughts were running riot in his brain?
17844Could it be possible the petition had not been heard?
17844Could these contrasts be forever continued?
17844Did it happen to be Friday?"
17844Did the gentleman ever attempt to kidnap you-- or anything?"
17844Did you or did you not keep your promise?"
17844Do n''t you remember?"
17844Do you consider that it had any rightful place in the discussion?"
17844Do you doubt that?"
17844Do you intend, without trying to prevent it, to let your daughter throw away her every chance of future happiness?
17844Do you know exactly when you''ll want him?"
17844Do you see?"
17844Do you see?"
17844Do you see?"
17844Do you think I do n''t care for you as much as though my home were in a town?"
17844For what reason had it been so carefully removed?
17844Going to reform again, or something of that kind, are you?"
17844Had they really hit the man out there, as they hoped, or was he, conscious of a trick, merely lying low?
17844Has-- has this been planned?"
17844Have you forgotten that it is only three days until the date set?
17844Have you propounded the momentous question to the lady?"
17844He was himself helpless; he must seek outside aid-- but where?
17844How about it?"
17844I know I''m not supposed to say these things, but why not?
17844Is it not so?"
17844Is it not so?"
17844Is n''t he, mamma?"
17844It''s been ten years now since he disappeared, has n''t it?"
17844Just speaking of you, were n''t we?"
17844Kind enough to deserve commemoration by a taste of the elixir of life, do n''t you agree?"
17844Knowing this, wo n''t you at my request cease going with this man?
17844Must I put it into words?"
17844Nothing I can do for you, is there?"
17844OF WHAT AVAIL?
17844Shall you be in the city long?"
17844Should I let Blair off, do you think?"
17844Sidwell?"
17844Something-- yes, but what?
17844That I should paint a daub like that?"
17844They drank; and then Sidwell looking at Hough said,"Well, what is it this time?
17844To be sure, he was still alive; but what of the future?
17844Was he enjoying his present life?
17844Wealth, power, notoriety-- what were they?
17844Were you in love, and he cold-- or the reverse?"
17844What answer could he give?
17844What do you say to our packing up our dinner, taking the elevated, and spending the day in the country?
17844What do you suppose he''s got in his cranium now?"
17844What do you think of it-- this roof- garden, and things in general?"
17844What have I done of late, what have I ever done, to deserve this treatment from you?"
17844What is it an answer to, please?
17844What name was it that had been in those hundreds of volumes?
17844What satisfaction was it, if in taking the life of the other man it cost him his own?
17844What say you, Mollie?"
17844What would you have done if you''d been in my place?"
17844What''s the use of saying anything whatever about the boy''s connections?
17844What?
17844Where was his mother now?
17844Who could tell?
17844Why did he wish to know?
17844Why did you-- let me up?"
17844Why do you find pleasure in taking me about as you do?
17844Why do you want to do this?"
17844Why do you want to go?"
17844Why do you want to leave?"
17844Why is it?"
17844Why should he be called Blair?
17844Why, having gotten safely away, having successfully hidden himself, had he ever returned?
17844Will this do instead?"
17844Will you give it?"
17844Will you go with me as my wife?"
17844Wo n''t you get it for me?"
17844Wo n''t you listen?"
17844Wo n''t you refuse his invitation for to- night?"
17844Would they be permitted to exist indefinitely side by side?
17844Would you truly like to know-- what you asked?"
17844Yes or no?"
17844You remember the last time I saw you?"
17844You wo n''t give it away?"
17844he ejaculated slowly;"where''d you drop down from?"
17844he said,--and such was now the silence that a whisper would have been audible,--"Tom Blair, have you anything you wish to say?"
17844she said, in mock despair;"you dropped it the first time, did n''t you?"
27681Am I, then, so very revolting?
27681And am I answerable that thoughtless and unprincipled men exist, whose shades of countenance may resemble mine?
27681And became the mother of Alice?
27681And can I be of service in the matter?
27681And dearest Cora, Duncan; surely Cora was not forgotten?
27681And did he not speak of me, Heyward?
27681And he deceived you, and then deserted?
27681And how should it be otherwise? 27681 And in so doing, how know I that I do n''t guide an enemy, and a spy of Montcalm, to the works of the army?
27681And is the heart of the white- headed chief soft, and will he think of the babes that his squaws have given him? 27681 And not Alice?"
27681And the woman that Huron left with my warriors?
27681And this?
27681And to marry whom, then, did you wish my consent, Major Heyward?
27681And what account will Le Renard give the chief of William Henry concerning his daughters? 27681 And what pleasure would Magua find in sharing his cabin with a wife he did not love; one who would be of a nation and color different from his own?
27681And why are you permitted to go at large, unwatched?
27681And why did the white chief stay?
27681And why? 27681 And will Cora attest the truth of this?"
27681And you surprised them?
27681And, think you, when he saw one of your feet out of the stirrup, he would wait for the other to be free? 27681 Are the Mingos rulers of the earth?
27681Are the bones of my young men,he concluded,"in the burial- place of the Hurons?
27681Are we quite safe in this cavern?
27681Are you much given to cowardice?
27681As he came, just Tamenund,demanded the wily Magua;"or with hands filled with the faith of the Delawares?
27681Both?
27681But let that be as it may; where are the Hurons?
27681But the general and his succor?
27681But was there no movement, no signs of any intention to advance to our relief?
27681But what says the scout? 27681 But what will the Mohawks say?
27681By what place did the imp enter?
27681Can I do otherwise for a father who has done so much for me?
27681Can any here give a name to such a cry?
27681Can not we make a circuit to avoid the danger,asked Heyward,"and come into our path again when it is passed?"
27681Can these things be?
27681Can we do aught to assist the wretched man?
27681Cora, what think you?
27681D''où venez- vous-- où allez- vous, d''aussi bonne heure?
27681Did he speak of sending me to our father?
27681Did my brother beat out the dogs?
27681Did my young men take his scalp?
27681Did ye look to the south as ye entered, and could ye not see them?
27681Do my young men leave the Delawares room on the mountains for their hunts?
27681Do none of my brothers speak the French or the English?
27681Do the Delawares crawl upon those they love, like snakes, twisting themselves to strike?
27681Do the cunning men of the Canadas paint their skins?
27681Do the pale- faces love their children less in the morning than at night?
27681Do you see it?
27681Do you think the bullet of that varlet''s rifle would have turned aside, though his majesty the king had stood in its path?
27681Do your ears tell you that they have traced our retreat?
27681Does he ever miss his aim, when seriously bent to kill?
27681Does the white chief burn his powder in the faces of his brothers?
27681Does yonder lying Huron, too, think it chance? 27681 Enough, Magua,"said Heyward;"are we not friends?
27681Etes- vous officier du roi?
27681For what?
27681Girl, what wouldst thou? 27681 Had they held their corn- feast-- or can you say anything of the totems of the tribe?"
27681Has a Huron no ears?
27681Has he stopped my ears?
27681Has my brother driven away the evil spirit?
27681Has not Magua kept the sun in his face long enough to escape all danger from the Canadians?
27681Has she then a heart for music?
27681Has your excellency found our defence so feeble as to believe the measure necessary?
27681Have we no further need of them?
27681Have you had a quiet night?
27681Here is something like the footstep of one who has worn a shoe; can it be that of our friend?
27681How is it, Sagamore? 27681 If we journey with the troops, though we may find their presence irksome, shall we not feel better assurance of our safety?"
27681In what part of them are we?
27681Indulge yourself,he whispered:"ought not the suggestion of the worthy namesake of the Psalmist to have its weight at such a moment?"
27681Is Tamenund a boy?
27681Is he a son of Minquon?
27681Is he a stone that goes to the bottom, or does the scalp burn his head?
27681Is he gone?
27681Is he nigh, that the Hurons may take revenge?
27681Is he, then, much practised in the art of psalmody?
27681Is it not our interest, sir, to betray no distrust?
27681Is it not the rushing of the wolves you have mentioned?
27681Is it to lead us prisoners to the woods, or do you contemplate even some greater evil? 27681 Is it, then, so famous?"
27681Is life grievous to you?
27681Is my brother mad?
27681Is such the faith that Cora Munro would exact from her protector?
27681Is the face of my great Canada father turned again towards his Huron children?
27681Is then our danger so pressing?
27681Is there no danger of surprise? 27681 Is there no difference, Hawkeye, between the stone- headed arrow of the warrior, and the leaden bullet with which you kill?"
27681Is there nothing that I can do?
27681Is this Mingo a chief?
27681It is undeniable that now you speak the truth,returned the scout, betraying more anxiety than was usual;"yet what can be done?
27681Know you anything of your own family at that time?
27681La Longue Carabine?
27681Le Cerf Agile is not here?
27681Le mot d''ordre?
27681May not this prove dangerous?
27681Monsieur,said the latter,"j''ai beaucoup de plaisir à  --bah!--où est cet interprête?"
27681My brother has said that a snake crept into my camp,said the chief to Magua;"which is he?"
27681My brother is a great medicine,said the cunning savage;"he will try?"
27681None is necessary,returned Cora;"who will dare to injure or insult the daughter of such a father, at a time like this?"
27681Now, what would you account that spot, were you left alone to white experience to find your way through this wilderness?
27681Of whom does my friend speak?
27681Of whom speak you?
27681Our arms?
27681Our colors?
27681Our march; the surrender of the place?
27681Qui vive?
27681Qui vive?
27681Say on,cried Alice;"to what, dearest Cora?
27681Seek you any here?
27681Shall we proceed?
27681Should we distrust the man because his manners are not our manners, and that his skin is dark?
27681Surely, he forgot not altogether his little Elsie?
27681The place is, indeed, invested,returned Duncan,"but is there no expedient by which we may enter?
27681The stranger and the white maiden that came into my camp together?
27681They are coming, then? 27681 Think you so?"
27681Think you, Alice, that I would trust those I love by this secret path, did I imagine such need could happen?
27681This is a subject that might better be discussed at another time,returned Heyward;"shall we charge?"
27681This!--my son has been sadly injured, here; who has done this?
27681To what, then, are we indebted for our safety?
27681Was it a sarpent?
27681Was it not, then, the shout the warriors make when they wish to intimidate their enemies?
27681Was it the fault of Le Renard that his head was not made of rock? 27681 Was it when the Yengeese and the Dutchmanne fought for the hunting- grounds of the Delawares?
27681We are then at no great distance from William Henry?
27681We are then on an island?
27681Well, boy,demanded the attentive scout,"what does it say?
27681Well, sir, is not a substitute clothed with all the power and dignity of him who grants the commission? 27681 Well, then, among the other things, you may know the name of its major?"
27681Well,said the scout, looking up at him,"why do you tarry?
27681What call you the volume?
27681What can the Hurons do?
27681What can this mean?
27681What does my brother mean?
27681What has Renard done?
27681What has become of our enemy, Uncas?
27681What has become of the Mohican?
27681What has brought the white man into the camp of the Delawares?
27681What has he in his arms?
27681What have we here? 27681 What have we there?
27681What is it, boy?
27681What is it?
27681What is it?
27681What is to be done?
27681What is to be done?
27681What is your purpose?
27681What must I promise?
27681What name has he gained by his deeds?
27681What now, lad?
27681What now?
27681What of the lad?
27681What say you, Renard?
27681What say your old men? 27681 What says he, dearest Cora?"
27681What says it?
27681What says my Alice? 27681 What says our graver sister?
27681What says the Frenchman?
27681What should this mean?
27681What then have I to do, or say, in the matter of your misfortunes, not to say of your errors?
27681What warrior does not? 27681 What would you have?"
27681What, then, may be our distance from Fort Edward?
27681When was it ever otherwise?
27681When? 27681 Where are we?
27681Where is the Huron?
27681Where is the Yengee that the Delawares fear?
27681Where is the knave?
27681Whither?
27681Who art thou?
27681Who comes?
27681Who comes?
27681Why did the chief of the Canadas bring his young men into the woods, and fire his cannon at the earthen house?
27681Why did you wish to stop my ears?
27681Why hast thou left us, pride of the Wapanachki?
27681Why should they not? 27681 Will a wise Delaware believe the barking of a wolf?"
27681Will he think so when he hears that his greatest enemy is fed in the camp of his children? 27681 Will the white man speak these words at the stake?"
27681Will this assist in explaining the difficulty?
27681Will you not speak to him, Major Heyward, that I may hear his tones? 27681 Will''The Long Rifle''give his life for the woman?"
27681With what tongue does the prisoner speak to the Manitou?
27681With what?
27681Would La Longue Carabine cut one so light on an enemy?
27681Would Le Gros Serpent have been heard by the ears of one he wished to be deaf?
27681Would the Yengeese send their women as spies? 27681 Would ye bring certain death upon us, by telling the Mingos where we lie?"
27681Would you set a cloud to chase the wind?
27681You are, then, lost,interrupted the hunter,"and have found how helpless''tis not to know whether to take the right hand or the left?"
27681You believe, then, the attack will be renewed?
27681You have, then, limited your efforts to sacred song?
27681You heard what the singer said, as he left us,--''She is at hand, and expects you''?
27681You know him, Duncan, or you would not trust yourself so freely to his keeping?
27681You saw our capture?
27681You then suspect it is a portion of that people among whom Cora resides?
27681You think that Montcalm has not called off all his Indians? 27681 You were about opening your throat- practysings among the beavers, were ye?"
27681You were, then, witnesses of all that passed?
27681After which Uncas and I pushed for the other encampment, as was agreed; have you seen the lad?"
27681An ambushment has been planted in the spot?
27681And did they not leave him on the south side of the river, with their prisoners, while they have gone foolishly on the north?
27681Are not the pale- faces thicker than the swallows in the season of flowers?"
27681Are we not now in her pursuit?
27681Art thou not Tamenund-- the father, the judge, I had almost said, the prophet-- of this people?"
27681As he approached he was received with the usual challenge,--"Qui vive?"
27681But all our work is yet before us: where is the gentle one?"
27681But can you put me on the scent of Uncas?"
27681But every story has its two sides; so I ask you, Chingachgook, what passed, according to the traditions of the redmen, when our fathers first met?"
27681But what is the edging of blacker smoke that hangs along its lower side, and which you may trace down into the thicket of hazel?
27681But what matters that?"
27681But where are to be found those of your race who came to their kin in the Delaware country, so many summers since?"
27681But who can say that the Serpent of his tribe has forgotten his wisdom?
27681But who has ever found a Huron asleep?"
27681But why should I, a Huron of the woods, tell a wise people their own traditions?
27681But, let me ask ye, sir, have you been as intelligible to the girl?"
27681CHAPTER XIV"_ Guard._--Qui est là  ?
27681CHAPTER XIX"_ Salar._--Why, I am sure, if he forfeit, thou wilt not take his flesh; what''s that good for?"
27681CHAPTER XXII_"Bot._--Are we all met?"
27681CHAPTER XXV_"Snug._--Have you the lion''s part written?
27681Can he slay a buck for their dinner; journey by the moss on the beeches, or cut the throat of a Huron?
27681Can it be a living object?"
27681Can the cunning stranger frighten him away?"
27681Can we not tarry here a little longer, while you find the rest you need?
27681Can you see where he has put his rifle or his bow?"
27681Can you use the smooth bore, or handle the rifle?"
27681Chingach-- Hist?
27681Did Magua say that the hatchet was out of the ground, and that his hand had dug it up?"
27681Did he not pretend to go back to his tribe, who had treated him ill, and driven him from their wigwams like a dog?
27681Did not the Huron chief say he took women in the battle?"
27681Do my brothers know the name of this favored people?"
27681Do they follow us so far?"
27681Does my brother wish to hear Le Cerf Agile ask for his petticoats, and see him weep before the Hurons, at the stake?"
27681Does not Renard mean to turn like a fox on his footsteps, and to carry to the rich and gray- headed Scotchman his daughters?
27681Does not my son know that the hatchet is buried between the English and his Canadian Father?"
27681Does not the egg become a worm-- the worm a fly, and perish?
27681Dost thou remember the name of that English warrior?"
27681For what have the Frenchers reared up their Quebec, if fighting is always to be done in the clearings?"
27681Go, malignant monster-- why do you delay?"
27681Has Uncas no counsel to offer in such a strait?"
27681Has he leaped the river to the woods?"
27681Has not my brother scented spies in the woods?"
27681Has she no friend, that none care for her?"
27681Have not my brothers scented the feet of white men?"
27681Have you forgotten the skulking rept_y_le that Uncas slew?"
27681Have you so soon forgotten from whom you received the foolish instrument you hold in your hand?"
27681Her head is too good to find a pillow in the wigwam of Le Renard; will she like it better when it rolls about this hill a plaything for the wolves?
27681How do you name yourself?"
27681How many suns have set since Le Renard struck the war- post of the English?"
27681How, now, my vigilant sentinel, can you see anything of those you call the Iroquois, on the mainland?"
27681I greatly mourn that one so well disposed should die in his ignorance, and I have sought a goodly hymn--""Can you lead me to him?"
27681I hope there is no reason to distrust his fidelity?"
27681I trust, monsieur, you come authorized to treat for the surrender of the place?"
27681Is he a Mohawk?"
27681Is it not better than this place?"
27681Is life to be purchased by such a sacrifice?
27681Is not all this true?
27681Is there no reward, no means of palliating the injury, and of softening your heart?
27681Is there not one among them who has seen it all, and who knows it to be true?
27681Is there reason in my words, Sagamore?"
27681It would seem that the stock of the horse of Israel has descended to our own time; would it not, friend?"
27681Know you the distance to a post of the crown called William Henry?"
27681Magua muttered a few words, inaudibly, between his teeth, before he continued, aloud,--"Can the Delawares swim, too, as well as crawl in the bushes?
27681Mais, monsieur, is it not time to begin to take more counsel of humanity, and less of your courage?
27681May not something be done for her instant relief?"
27681Monsieur would wish to see my camp, and witness, for himself, our numbers, and the impossibility of his resisting them, with success?"
27681My young men dreamed they had seen the trail of the Yengeese nigh the village of the Delawares?"
27681Name chapter and verse; in which of the holy books do you find language to support you?"
27681Now, if you had a company of the Royal Americans here, in what manner would you set them to work in this business?"
27681Pride of the Wapanachki, why hast thou left us?"
27681Rising without assistance, and seemingly without an effort, he demanded, in a voice that startled its auditors by its firmness,--"What art thou?"
27681Say; shall I send the yellow hair to her father, and will you follow Magua to the great lakes, to carry his water, and feed him with corn?"
27681Shall this be?
27681Speaking of spirits, Major, are you of opinion that the heaven of a redskin and of us whites will be one and the same?"
27681Tell me, ye Delawares, has Tamenund been a sleeper for a hundred winters?"
27681That the pale- face who has slain so many of his friends goes in and out among the Delawares?
27681The Indian riveted his glowing eyes on Heyward as he asked, in his imperfect English,"Is he alone?"
27681The aged man mused with himself for a time; and then bending his head towards one of his venerable companions, he asked,--"Are my ears open?"
27681The daughters of the commandant, I learn, have passed into the fort since it was invested?"
27681The loss of both of his daughters might bring the aged man to his grave, and where would then be the satisfaction of Le Renard?"
27681The savage placed the finger of the French commander on a deep scar in his bosom, and then exultingly demanded,--"Does my father know that?"
27681The scout has said as much?"
27681Then Magua, as if recalled to such a recollection, by the allusion to the massacre, demanded,--"Does my prisoner give trouble to my brothers?"
27681Then suddenly lifting his voice to a pitch of terrific energy, he concluded, by demanding,--"Are the Hurons dogs to bear this?
27681Then where to seek a proper protector for you against the confusion and chances of such a scene?"
27681Then, did he not lose his path to blind the eyes of the Hurons?
27681There is no force in the decrees of Venice: I stand for judgment; answer, shall I have it?"
27681Uncas cast a glance along the range of trees which concealed his own band and mentioned the name of--"Magua?"
27681Uncas looked earnestly at the scout, before he asked,--"What says Hawkeye?"
27681We are a few hours too late?
27681We know that the first has been here, but where are the signs of the other?
27681Well, boy, any signs of such a foundation?"
27681Were they of English or French formation?"
27681What answer could we give Munro, when he asked us where and how we left his children?"
27681What brings a Huron here?"
27681What can this mean?"
27681What did the gray- head?
27681What do you hear, Chingachgook?
27681What is a Yengee?
27681What is your pleasure in the matter of the interview?"
27681What may be your calling?"
27681What say you, Chingachgook,"he added in Delaware;"shall the Hurons boast of this to their women when the deep snows come?"
27681What say_ you_, lad; of what people was the knave?"
27681What shall we do with the Mingos at the door?
27681What think you of such a song as this?"
27681What will our fathers think the tribes of the Wyandots have become?
27681When he is told a bloody Yengee smokes at your fire?
27681Where is Le Gros Serpent?"
27681Where is his body?
27681Who before thee has ever shown Uttawa the way into the fight?
27681Who can deny it?
27681Who gave him the fire- water?
27681Who that saw thee in battle would believe that thou couldst die?
27681Whom call you Le Renard?"
27681Why linger to add to the number of the victims of our merciless enemies?"
27681Why remind them of their injuries; their ancient greatness; their deeds; their glory; their happiness,--their losses; their defeats; their misery?
27681Why should I not?
27681Why should Tamenund stay?
27681Why should there be bitter words between us?
27681Why should they brighten their tomahawks, and sharpen their knives against each other?
27681Why should they not?
27681Why tell the Delawares of good that is past?
27681Will he dare to tell the hot- blooded Scotsman that his children are left without a guide, though Magua promised to be one?"
27681Will she find an excuse for the neglect of the knight in the duty of a soldier?"
27681Will you taste for yourself?"
27681Will you, Alice, receive it at my hands at such a price?
27681Wilt thou bear a part, friend?
27681Would it not be more like a man to go before his face, and take the satisfaction of a warrior?"
27681You have not yet answered my question: what is our distance from the main army at Edward?"
27681You have, then, seen much service on this frontier?"
27681You know our force?"
27681You know the cry of a crow, friend, from the whistle of the whippoorwill?"
27681You scorn to mingle the blood of the Heywards with one so degraded-- lovely and virtuous though she be?"
27681You see we are, too obviously, within the sentinels of the enemy; what course do you propose to follow?"
27681and by what path?
27681and what is next to be done?"
27681are not arrangements already made for their convenience?"
27681can you make anything of the tell- tale?"
27681demanded Duncan, losing the first feeling of disappointment in a more manly desire for exertion;"what will become of us?"
27681demanded Hawkeye;"you saved a Huron from the death- shriek by that word; have you reason for what you do?"
27681demanded Heyward, in surprise;"surely we part not here?"
27681demanded Heyward, when the other had arrived sufficiently nigh to abate his speed;"I trust you are no messenger of evil tidings?"
27681demanded the veteran, sternly;"does he make a merit of having captured a scout, with a note from headquarters?
27681do our lights shine through the blankets?"
27681do they tell the young warriors, that the pale- faces met the redmen, painted for war and armed with the stone hatchet and wooden gun?"
27681exclaimed Duncan, still more confirmed in the evil intentions of his ancient enemy:"a dog never lies, but when was a wolf known to speak the truth?"
27681exclaimed Munro;"whither, then, have they fled, and where are my babes?"
27681exclaimed the astonished Hawkeye;"are you tired of seeing the sun rise and set?"
27681friend or enemy?"
27681has he not seen that the woods were filled with outlying parties of the enemies, and that the Serpent could not steal through them without being seen?
27681have they heard or seen anything of our enemies?"
27681have you a mind to teach the beavers to sing?"
27681he added,"what says the daughter of Munro?
27681he has eyes and ears, and a tongue: what verbal report does he make?"
27681he said, addressing Duncan;"are the Delawares fools, that they could not know the young panther from the cat?"
27681he said, leaning forward, and peering through the dim light to catch the expression of the other''s features;"is he afraid?
27681one at length uttered;"has my friend found the moose?"
27681or was it the rustling of the leaves in the top of the beech?"
27681or, may we not owe their visit to the dead colt?
27681returned the exulting savage;"will the dark hair go to his tribe?"
27681returned the other;"who has slain my young men?
27681said another voice, in the same soft, guttural tones, near his elbow;"who speaks to Uncas?"
27681see you nothing walking on the shore of the pond?"
27681shall we speak of the terms?"
27681speaking in Delaware to the young chief as he re- entered,"what see you?
27681we are talking of your pretensions to Miss Munro, are we not, sir?"
27681what could you do, mounted, against an Indian in the bushes?"
27681what have such as I, who am a warrior of the wilderness, though a man without a cross, to do with books?
27681what is''t you do?"
27681what noise is that?"
27681what stirs the bush?"
27681who made him a villain?
27681will the Hurons hear his groans?"
27681will you fight the Maquas?"
27681will you not name the reason?"
46795Alone?
46795And Kate had disappeared?
46795And did you notice any such mark about the track we have been following-- anything you would know again, no matter where you saw it?
46795And you are also thinking of our mother, should the dreaded Indian attack come when we are away?
46795And you will stick to us through thick and thin, Blue Jacket?
46795And you, Blue Jacket, will you not join us?
46795And, Reuben, tell us if even Shawanee moccasins may not be known apart by some peculiar mark?
46795Are all here?
46795Are you hurt much, Blue Jacket?
46795Are you still thinking about father, Sandy?
46795Blue Jacket-- where is he?
46795Bob, what would you do?
46795But can one of them be carrying our sister all this time?
46795But dare he enter there, with Pontiac and all those other chiefs from distant tribes still present as guests of Kiashuta?
46795But even if he lives hundreds of miles away he can come back, ca n''t he? 46795 But he has already told us he could see that the braves were Senecas, from the feathers in their scalplocks, and their manner of dress?"
46795But how are we going to get at the honey, Bob?
46795But how can we ever stand it?
46795But how is it we do not see our good friend, Blue Jacket?
46795But on this present expedition you did not venture to go in among the lodges, because of the added danger, I suppose?
46795But tell us why he came out holding his hands above his head; and for what reason should he wave the white rag?
46795But the Iroquois are the friends of the English?
46795But the wind may die out by then; or something else might happen to upset all our plans?
46795But they do find a hollow, do n''t they?
46795But what about your plan for dressing us all up to look like the Indians?
46795But what if we succeed in locating the bee tree, and cut it down; how are we to carry the honey home?
46795But what is to hinder our securing torches, and continuing on as long as we can put one foot before the other?
46795But what shall we do with these two men?
46795But what would you do wiz us?
46795But where could he have found a boat?
46795But which do you think it will be?
46795But why did n''t you let me shoot him?
46795But you said that, after the cry, our mother saw Kate moving about?
46795But, Bob, must we just stand here, and let them take us prisoners?
46795But-- Armand Lacroix, what of him?
46795But-- he walked over here with us to get the measure of meal father promised to give him, without accepting any pay?
46795Can it be posseeble zat it ees real gold?
46795Chief, did you discover where the wigwam of Black Beaver is situated in the village?
46795Come, what ails you, Kate?
46795Could it be Daniel Boone who has come, or perhaps that young ranger, Simon Kenton, whom you and I liked so much when we saw him long ago?
46795Did any one see it done?
46795Did you empty your powder- horn in that charge, Bob? 46795 Did you hear what old Reuben Jacks said, Bob?"
46795Did you meet Pontiac?
46795Do you hear them coming?
46795Do you mean it might be Blue Jacket?
46795Had we not better run for the house?
46795Haf you more of ze same stuff?
46795Haf you zen a compadre near by? 46795 Have you got the sugar and everything along?"
46795He''s just sure to come nosing around, do n''t you think?
46795How did it start?
46795How do we know whether they are deceiving us?
46795How do you know that?
46795How does it go, Bob?
46795How it is zat you come to zat conclusion?
46795How long must we lie idle here?
46795How many were there?
46795How will this place do, Bob?
46795I wonder how far he is on his way now?
46795I wonder now if that firebrand, Pontiac, is up in this region? 46795 If our mother were ill you do not believe that both father and Kate would leave her alone, while they gossiped with the neighbors outside the doors?
46795Is that so, Reuben?
46795It comes from the other side of the settlement, does n''t it?
46795Listen to zat, would you, Larue?
46795Listen,said the cooler Bob;"why should he wish to attract our attention if he had done this deed?
46795Look up into that sycamore tree and tell me if you ca n''t see them flying around? 46795 Look, Bob, what do you suppose all those people are doing around our home?
46795Make noise-- tell Iroquois we here-- no good, see, Sandy?
46795Nothing but the hum of a hive of bees could make that noise, Bob, could it?
46795Now what is our next move?
46795Now, tell us at once,he said, in his commanding way;"was it a letter?"
46795Oui, I remember ze same, ver''well,said Armand;"but what may zat haf to do wif our young friends here?
46795Perhaps it is a deer, and he means to get a shot with his bow and arrows?
46795Perhaps they are even now carrying the scalps of our neighbors, the Bancrofts?
46795Phat do yees think av that?
46795Say you so, my leetle fire- eater?
46795Shall we accept the offer of Pontiac,asked Sandy,"and make for the river under the guard of his men?"
46795Shall we go on?
46795Something''s happened then,cried Sandy;"something good, you say?
46795Still, if the trail is washed out, how then are we to follow?
46795Tell us, Mr. Harkness; is Kate lost; and do they only believe she has been carried off, or is it proved?
46795The sun rose red this morning, you may have noticed?
46795Then it will be necessary, if Kate is rescued, that the village be entered under cover of darkness?
46795Then we can expect to get away from here, and start things moving at the village of Kiashuta? 46795 Then we must try to find Kenton, Pat and Blue Jacket?"
46795Then what makes you frown and look so black?
46795Then you could not know anything about our sister, or the location of Black Beaver''s lodge?
46795Then you found a chance to talk with the maiden, did you, Blue Jacket?
46795Three?
46795True,replied his brother in the same guarded tone;"but should we be captured or killed what then would become of poor little Kate?
46795Well, do we try for that bear to- night, Bob?
46795Were they Shawanees, Reuben?
46795What do you think they believed must have happened, Bob?
46795What does this magic mean?
46795What for you say zat, young monsieur?
46795What has happened? 46795 What if he comes to tell us it is Our Kate?"
46795What is eet ze young monsieur would say to us?
46795What is it, Reuben; what have you found to give tongue that way?
46795What is zis you tell us, hey?
46795What makes you say that?
46795What say you to that, Sandy?
46795What were you two talking about just now?
46795What worries you now, Bob? 46795 What would you do, hothead?"
46795What''s going on here?
46795What''s that you are saying?
46795Whatever you think best, that will I do, Bob?
46795Where could we have found a better friend, Bob?
46795Where did you see the Indians, Reuben?
46795Where?
46795Who can say?
46795Who saw the Indians?
46795Who''ll go with me ter look''em up?
46795Why does he turn his eyes up to the tops of the trees every little while?
46795Why white boy shoot French trapper?
46795Why, what else could be done?
46795Will he desert us, then?
46795Yes, yes, and when they arrived what did they learn?
46795You ask why, great Pontiac?
46795You do not think Pontiac suspected you, I hope?
46795You mean Pat O''Mara?
46795You mean about that Frenchman, Armand Lacroix?
46795You mean the Great Lake, on the shore of which, somewhere, the Iroquois have their village-- is that it?
46795You shoot at French trader?
46795Yours?
46795Zat if we let you go free, you take us to ze place where we can peek up much of zis same yellow sand in ze rock? 46795 A windy night may be a long time in coming; and how can we hold back?
46795And I think we''re pretty lucky to get off as easy as we did, eh, Sandy?"
46795And, while the forest is fairly alive with enemies, what chance would we have for getting clear?"
46795Are you positive that Kate is with these Indians?
46795Ask him if he will help us, wo n''t you, Bob?
46795Bob winced under the sharp pain; but he had accomplished his end, and what mattered a trifling cut?
46795Bob, can you make her stop dancing around like that, and speak?
46795Bob, what can all that shouting mean?"
46795But I got him, did n''t I?
46795But how long a time must elapse before the excited owners of all these painted lodges would settle down into quiet, so that operations could begin?
46795But how we know you keep your word?
46795But what if, through some little misfortune, they were discovered?
46795But what is this you tell us of Larue?
46795But where can Kate be, do you think?"
46795But why half a dozen of them; and what sort of business had brought them here to this tree, that must be a land mark in the neighborhood?
46795But why should he have stolen her at all?
46795But, Bob, have we not rested enough?
46795But, remember, you said I was to have the first shot at the old honey thief, if he does make his appearance?"
46795CHAPTER XVIII THE BIG WATER AT LAST"WILL we ever get there, do you think, Bob?"
46795CHAPTER XXIV KENTON''S LIFE WITH THE INDIANS"MUST we wait for night to come, Bob, before we can make a move?"
46795CHAPTER XXIX THE WORD OF AN INDIAN CHIEF"WHAT is he going to do, Bob?"
46795CHAPTER XXVI THE WAR DANCE"WHAT of the weather?"
46795Can you make it out still, Bob?"
46795Did Blue Jacket know?
46795Did it mean that the idle wish of Sandy was to be thus quickly fulfilled?
46795Did n''t he prove that he was a true friend to us?"
46795Do we go there next time, Bob?"
46795Do you know him, Blue Jacket?"
46795Does the paleface boy see the one who took tobacco and maize from the white man''s hand, and then stole his daughter?"
46795First tell me what you seek, so far away from your home?"
46795Four Iroquois say?
46795Had Sandy been to blame?
46795Had it not been for this paleface boy, where now would be your leader?
46795Haf you not ze eye to see zat aftaire ze first fire ze buck he nevaire run far?
46795Haf zey lost some one from zere family?
46795Harkness?"
46795Harkness?"
46795Has any one been hurt like father was?"
46795He has made the journey once, why not again?"
46795How Bob, Sandy see um?"
46795How could I attend to all the traps, and hunt in the bargain, without you?
46795How could Pontiac strike the flint that will make the whole border blaze with fires, if he lay here on this ground, dead?"
46795How did you manage it, you and dear Sandy?
46795How know?"
46795How long this pursuit would keep up, who could say?
46795I wonder if that firebrand has been about again, trying to burn us out?"
46795I''d be a pretty chap to go off unprepared, would n''t I?
46795Is Pat O''Mara waiting for us to come in, so that we may all start out together?"
46795Is it a very large place; are the Senecas feeling bitter against the white settlers; and what do they do when not on the warpath?"
46795Is it not grant?
46795Is it not splendid news, brothers?"
46795Is it our sister, and those braves the Senecas who stole her away from our mother''s cabin?"
46795Is there a fire?
46795It keeps getting harder and harder; but nothing is going to stop us, is it, Bob?"
46795It makes me out von liar, and think you I vill stand for zat from a boy like you?
46795It was as if one said to his comrade:"Shall we listen to what he has to say?"
46795May we go now?"
46795Meanwhile, what of Bob?
46795Now, tell me if you please, vat brings you up to zis country, so far avay from ze happy cabin on ze Ohio, la belle river?"
46795Now, you remember how he looked at our sister Kate when he came in for a supply of tobacco and maize?
46795S''pose we hold one like hostage till time come zat you carry out promise?"
46795Sandy was not so ready a reader of human nature, and immediately exclaimed in a whisper:"What success did you have, Blue Jacket?
46795Should the reckless boy have restrained his impulse to shoot down the wretch who would slay the great Indian leader in cold blood?
46795Tell me, did the same foot make both prints?"
46795That ought to help us greatly, Bob, do n''t you think?"
46795This fellow thrust himself forward, and, scowling darkly, demanded in fairly good English:"What for you say zat ze game is yours?
46795Was the wind really strengthening, or did Bob dream it simply because he wished for such a thing to come about?
46795Was zat girl belong to zem, I would like to know?"
46795What can it be, do you suppose, Bob?"
46795What can we do then, Bob?"
46795What do you suppose they will do with us now?
46795What hunt so far away settlement?"
46795What if Kate had already been carried off by some wandering red man?
46795What is zis I see?"
46795Who could tell what the next shuffle of the cards might bring forth?
46795Who?"
46795Why can not we use that?"
46795Will the great Pontiac keep his word by giving her back to our charge, and letting us depart for the cabin where a mother mourns?"
46795With the vast wilderness stretching all around for hundreds of miles, how would they ever know where to look for her?
46795Would n''t mother''s eyes just dance to see the piles of combs full of sweetness, perhaps enough for the whole winter?"
46795Yes, they would be on their guard; but what of that, Bob?
46795You are too young to be wandering around the country as he does, Sandy; and think, what would mother do without you?
46795You ask what sall we do wif zem?
46795You have keen hearing, Sandy; did you not make out what our neighbor, Peleg Green, was calling then?"
46795You promise me to do everything a man could for your sister''s and your mother''s well- being?"
46795but how about Blue Jacket?
46795can I belief my eyes?
46795cried Sandy, gripping his brother''s arm convulsively;"did you hear that, Bob?"
46795vat shall be done wiz zem?"
46795what if he gets clear away?"
46795what if we lose them, and have nothing left to follow?
46795what is it, Bob?"
46795why did not Colonel Boone, or Simon Kenton, happen along at the time they were starting?"
15580''Zimmer will be clever enough to drift his outfit along one or two at a time?'' 15580 Air you comin''from Morton?"
15580And leave this fighting Texas, never to return till the day of guns and Rangers and bad men and even- breaks is past?
15580And the drinking, the gambling, the association with those low men-- that was all put on?
15580And what''s that?
15580Any relation to Bill Snecker?
15580Are you alone?
15580Are you going to Linrock?
15580Bad for you, too?
15580Been to your''dobe yet to- night?
15580But did you look at the cousin, the little girl with the eyes?
15580But ought n''t they take us into their confidence?
15580But suppose I do n''t choose to talk here?
15580But why should my daughter meet this Ranger?
15580But why''d you come-- why''re you so good-- when you do n''t love me?
15580But why, Miss Sampson? 15580 But why?"
15580But you have your suspicions?
15580But, Jim, was n''t he game? 15580 Ca n''t Diane and Steele, you and I ride away from this bloody, bad country?
15580Ca n''t you make the ordeal easier for her?
15580Colonel Sampson has a big outfit, eh?
15580Cousin George, what became of Steele and his prisoner?
15580Crooked game?
15580Diane, I told you I loved him-- didn''t I?
15580Diane, did Sally show you her engagement ring?
15580Diane, you know how hard my duty is, do n''t you?
15580Did Steele shoot anybody?
15580Did he do it all alone?
15580Did he ever speak of-- of me?
15580Did he know we were coming?
15580Did n''t I say I''d see to that?
15580Did n''t you ever hear_ I_ used to run it?
15580Did n''t you say they were hunting for you?
15580Did she say that?
15580Did she send you?
15580Did she? 15580 Did you break your promise to me?"
15580Did you get any of them?
15580Did you hear a step?
15580Did you shoot at Snecker?
15580Do n''t mind my ridin''in with you- all, I hope?
15580Do n''t you think you''d do well to keep out of town, especially when you sleep?
15580Do you like Pecos?
15580Do you love me?
15580Do you think Blome a dangerous man to meet?
15580Do you think she would have cared if-- if I had been shot up bad?
15580Do you want him to succeed in it?
15580Does Diane know?
15580Does anybody know?
15580Does n''t he strike you now as being the farthest removed from a ranting, brutal Ranger?
15580Drinking hard?
15580George, what''s the matter?
15580Have I been very-- very sad?
15580Have n''t I told you he''d be dead soon same as Hoden is?
15580Have you been with him-- talked to him lately?
15580Have you run into Blome?
15580Held up?
15580His work?
15580Hoden sent you to me, did he? 15580 Hoden, do you know who''s boss of this secret gang of rustlers hereabouts?"
15580Hoden, what are your eyes for?
15580How can it be true when you never asked-- said a word-- you hinted of?
15580How dare you intrude here? 15580 How do I know?"
15580How do you know she met Steele?
15580How do you mean?
15580How else, you locoed lady- charmer? 15580 How is that?
15580How long has Russ been in here?
15580How''s tricks, Jim?
15580How?
15580Hush-- Tell me, if you confronted them, drew on them, then you had a chance to kill my uncle?
15580I can change my mind, ca n''t I? 15580 I''d like to know why?"
15580If they had the nerve?
15580If they knew who was rustling the stock?
15580If you''re going to pretend a yellow streak, what else will I think?
15580Is Sampson at home?
15580Is Steele badly hurt?
15580Is he all right?
15580Is n''t this court? 15580 Is that you, George?"
15580Jar? 15580 Jar?"
15580Know what?
15580Like ridin''?
15580Little hope?
15580Lively place, I hear-- Linrock is?
15580Make that girl do what she does n''t want to? 15580 Me?
15580Me? 15580 Miss Sampson, did I ever lie to you?"
15580Miss Sampson, how can you say that?
15580Miss Sampson,I said, in dismay,"what have I done?
15580Mr. Steele, pray tell me what is the matter with Linrock and just what the work is you''re called upon to do?
15580Mr. Steele, then is-- is something more than a Ranger?
15580Mrs. Hoden, who dressed this baby?
15580Much movement of stock these days?
15580My cousin Mr. Wright said that?
15580No women? 15580 Now, Russ, what do you make of my dad?
15580Oh, Russ-- what''s to come of it all?
15580On the draw? 15580 Only a make- believe one?"
15580Out here? 15580 Out?
15580Papa, did you instruct Cousin George to discharge Russ?
15580Pleasant surprise for them to- morrow, eh, old man?
15580Pretend?
15580Quick enough on the draw? 15580 Russ, are you all right?"
15580Russ, did she-- show sympathy?
15580Russ, do n''t you love me any more?
15580Russ, do they dare insinuate you came to Sally''s room?
15580Russ, had Diane gone out to meet Steele?
15580Russ, is it true, just as you tell it?
15580Russ, what''s this I hear about Martin''s saloon being cleaned out?
15580Russ, will you do me a favor?
15580Russ, will you give up the Ranger Service for me?
15580Russ, you suggest I leave here-- leave my father?
15580Russ,_ were_ you drunk?
15580Rustlers?
15580Safe? 15580 Sally, did you hear what Miss Sampson said to Steele?"
15580Sally, do you love me?
15580Sally, is this old home of yours near the one Diane speaks of so much?
15580Sally, what did he mean?
15580Sally, what do you and Diane know about the goings- on in town yesterday?
15580Sally, will you marry me?
15580Sampson wants me bad, eh?
15580Say, do n''t you work for Sampson?
15580Shall I chuck my job? 15580 Shame-- disgrace?"
15580She-- Why, she''s been here all the time-- Russ, you have n''t double- crossed me?
15580So I say you''re no good?
15580So thet''s that Texas Ranger, Steele, hey? 15580 So you knew it was Bill Snecker''s son?"
15580So you''re Roger Sampson''s girl?
15580So you''ve come to see me die?
15580So your little-- affair with Russ is all over?
15580Someone? 15580 Son, sure you''re not in love with her-- you''ll not fall in love with her?"
15580Son, you have n''t got soft on her?
15580Sprung a surprise on me, did n''t you? 15580 Steele hardly expects to keep Snecker in jail, does he?"
15580Steele, what''d you break in here for?
15580Suppose I refuse?
15580Suppose they should? 15580 The thing is, do I get the girl?"
15580Then I''m to go to Linrock with you?
15580Then there''s a rustler-- here-- hiding?
15580Then you''re no cowboy?
15580Then, after all, Russ, in this dreadful part of Texas life, when man faces man, it''s all in the quickness of hand?
15580Then, after all, this Ranger was able to arrest Snell, the innocent man father discharged, and take him to jail?
15580Then-- what did he say?
15580Thet so?
15580To- morrow? 15580 Tragic?
15580Unless?
15580Up yet, Sally?
15580Vaughn, you have n''t gone sweet on her?
15580Wait? 15580 Was n''t he lovely?
15580Water or champagne?
15580Well, old boy, how''s tricks?
15580Well, old man, did you land that son of a gun in jail?
15580Well, say so now, ca n''t you? 15580 What became of them?
15580What d''ye mean?
15580What did he say?
15580What do I care what they think?
15580What do you care for the insinuations of such a man?
15580What do you know?
15580What do you mean? 15580 What do you say?"
15580What do you want here?
15580What for?
15580What has happened?
15580What has the court to say to that?
15580What have you to say about this, Hoden?
15580What other way could I look at it? 15580 What shall I find out?"
15580What then? 15580 What''d you come for, anyway?"
15580What''d you hide here for?
15580What''d you want to let her come out here for?
15580What''d you wing him for?
15580What''s all this commotion? 15580 What''s come off?
15580What''s that?
15580What''s the matter?
15580What''s this I hear about you, Bud? 15580 What''s this holler?"
15580What''s this news? 15580 What?"
15580What?
15580What?
15580When did Wright get it?
15580When may-- I see him?
15580Where are you going?
15580Where is he now?
15580Where is he now?
15580Where''m I hit?
15580Where''s Steele?
15580Where''s Steele?
15580Where''s your warrant to arrest Snell?
15580Where''ve you been? 15580 Which one?"
15580Who are you? 15580 Who are you?"
15580Who fires me, I''d like to know?
15580Who told you?
15580Who''re you?
15580Who''re you?
15580Who''s that?
15580Why did you discharge me?
15580Why do men, apparently honest men, seem to be so close- mouthed here? 15580 Why do n''t you discharge me?
15580Why should I make up with you?
15580Why, then, did n''t you?
15580Why? 15580 Why?"
15580Why?
15580Why?
15580Why?
15580Why?
15580Will you go with me to my old home? 15580 Will you wait?
15580Wo n''t you come in?
15580Worse? 15580 Would papa have arrested him?"
15580Wright, what''ll you do with him?
15580Yes, you said that, did n''t you?
15580You have killed men?
15580You know the hold I got on you-- the deal that made you boss of this rustler gang?
15580You mean double- cross the men? 15580 You remember how I heard Wright making you out vile to Miss Sampson?
15580You thet cowboy, Russ?
15580You were n''t driven to kill George?
15580You''ll not make her marry me?
15580You''ll take Snell without papers?
15580You''re the cowboy Russ?
15580You''re thet Ranger, hey?
15580You''ve guessed-- about your father?
15580Your work? 15580 _ Let_ her?
15580''We''re going after them, then?''
15580Ai n''t boardin''heah, is he?"
15580Ai n''t somebody goin''to plug this Ranger?"
15580All the same, Wright, did it ever strike you that most of our deals the last few years have been yours?"
15580An''as Steele has cashed, what the hell do you care?
15580An''what''d Wright say?"
15580And any time I-- I might-- All the same, Sally-- will you be my wife?"
15580And papa refused to see you-- presumably refused to cooperate with you?"
15580And was Sally in your confidence?"
15580Are n''t you the mayor of Linrock?"
15580Are you really on the square, Russ?
15580As for what I said, or meant to say, which is the same thing, how''d you take my actions?
15580At the tables, at the bars and lounging places remarks went the rounds:"Who''s thet Ranger after?
15580But I hoped I would be so happy to-- to reclaim you from-- Didn''t you ever have a sister, Russ?"
15580But can my father and cousin be taken without bloodshed?
15580But could she divine a motive scarcely yet formed in my brain?
15580But do you believe I was drunk when I say no?"
15580But was I to have that chance?
15580But what could I do?
15580But what else could I have told Diane?
15580But what was the right thing?
15580But, Mr. Steele, are n''t you exaggerating Linrock''s wickedness?"
15580But, Sally, can you get over it-- can you forget?"
15580But, first, ca n''t you arrange a meeting between Diane and Steele?
15580Can I rely on you?"
15580Cheerful and kind, is n''t he?"
15580Come out from behind these cowboy togs?"
15580Diane, was n''t Sally the deceitful thing?
15580Did Sampson start-- did his eyes show a fleeting glint-- did his face almost imperceptibly blanch?
15580Did he state his business?"
15580Did n''t I run like a scared jack- rabbit from Steele?
15580Did n''t you ever see a man the morning after a carouse?"
15580Did n''t you- all hear?
15580Did you hear-- do you understand why she appealed to Steele, asked him to be her friend?"
15580Did you see the notches on his gun?
15580Did you sell out?"
15580Did you?"
15580Do n''t you think if she was my wife I''d soon pull myself together?
15580Do they head this mysterious gang?"
15580Do you know if Sampson and Wright are at the ranch?"
15580Do you say he lies?"
15580Do you still think, brood about that fight?"
15580Do you think I beg you to let my father go, for his sake?
15580Do you think I''d let fear of a gang of rustlers stop me from going in business with a rancher?
15580Do you think it''ll kill him?"
15580Eh?
15580First, now, will you give Diane to me?"
15580For God''s sake, Sally, what do you take me for?"
15580For what had I turned my back on this beautiful, all- satisfying prospect?
15580Go without their knowing?
15580Had Diane Sampson guessed the guilt of her father?
15580Had I ever had anything but luck in these dangerous deals?
15580Had I mind enough to divine his torture, his temptation, his narrow escape?
15580Had Wright''s incomprehensible mention of Diane Sampson been an instinct of love-- of jealousy?
15580Had any one ever dared ask Steele that before?
15580Had ever a Ranger such a job as mine?
15580Had he been stopped?
15580Had that been the thing I imagined I had seen in Sampson''s face?
15580Had they forgotten, while I remembered?
15580Have you any horses handy?"
15580Have you been drunk a good deal?
15580Have you not insulted us enough?
15580How are Mrs. Hoden and the youngster to- day?"
15580How can so splendid a man be so bloody, base at heart?
15580How could I ever take care of my little ones?
15580How could Steele and I win them openly to our cause?
15580How could this be anything but sincere?
15580How seriously was Steele injured?
15580How''s this plan strike you?"
15580How, I wondered, had a man of his mind ever lived so long and gone so far among the exacting conditions of Pecos County?
15580I said,"Want a drink?"
15580I wanted so much to work for you-- Miss Sally, what have I done?
15580If I was all distraught with emotion, what must Steele have been?
15580If his intent is evil, why will he fail in it?"
15580Is he waitin''fer somebody?
15580Is n''t it glorious, Russ?"
15580Is n''t that proof?"
15580Is n''t this a terrible mix?"
15580Is that a fact or only my impression?"
15580Jest about how soon will he be found somewhere full of lead?"
15580Just as well, too, because if she''d....""Russ, did you honestly care for her?
15580Just how would Sally Langdon meet me now, after my regretted exhibition before her cousin?
15580Just now he says:''Where does Sampson live?''
15580Kind of them, ai n''t it?"
15580Leave them here to face whatever comes?"
15580Morton, can you give me any idea where Steele is?"
15580Must I stand alone-- all alone?
15580Now who in hell are you?"
15580Now, what''s this murder of Jim Hoden going to do to Morton, Zimmer, and their crowd?"
15580Of course, he could not get back the lost money, but would it be possible to close Martin''s place, or at least break up the crooked game?
15580Or are you what George calls you-- a drunken cowboy, a gambler, sharp with the cards, a gun- fighter?"
15580Our own lives, our happiness, come first, do they not?"
15580Russ, are you asking me to trust you?"
15580Russ, does Diane know?"
15580Russ, has it dawned on you yet, what I''ve got to do to Diane Sampson?"
15580Russ, have n''t you missed something?"
15580Russ, how could he stand up under such a wound?
15580Russ, was it you?"
15580Sally Langdon?
15580Sally, Russ, what shall we do?
15580Sally, how long has this affair been going on?"
15580Sally, what can we do?
15580Sally, what does Diane know about her father?"
15580Savvy what I mean, Morton?
15580Savvy what I mean?"
15580See the big white stone?
15580See?
15580Shall I go back?
15580She''s fine, but the old man?
15580Shot you from behind, did n''t he?"
15580So it''s settled then?"
15580So what can I do?"
15580Steele?"
15580Sure if I''d won I would n''t have been sorry, eh?
15580Swore you''d never come back?
15580Talking about work-- who''d you say Snell worked for?"
15580Tell me, what has happened?"
15580That satisfy you?"
15580The real thing, I mean?"
15580Then I saw the leaping thought-- would this daughter side against him?
15580Then it''s not well known that Sampson owns the Hope So?"
15580Then you take sides with him against my father?"
15580They''d fight if they....""What?"
15580Under such circumstances could I kill him when I did n''t have to?"
15580Understand?
15580Was he ever going to speak?
15580Was it more for his sake than for her own that she hoped-- for surely she hoped-- that Steele loved her?
15580Was it to arrest and jail a few rustlers?
15580Was it to be as terrible as Steele''s had been?
15580Was it to kill that hated Wright?
15580Was it to meet that mocking Sampson face to face and show him my shield and reach for my gun?
15580Was it to please and aid my old captain, Neal of the Rangers?
15580Was it to save the Service to the State?
15580Was it to save the people of Linrock from further greed, raids, murder?
15580Was she testing me?
15580Well, I''m to go on, up at the ranch, falling further in love with that sweet kid instead of coming out straight to face things with you?"
15580Well, Mrs. Hoden, did n''t I tell you friends would come?
15580What did she read in mine?
15580What do I care for your old gun?
15580What do you mean?''
15580What do you want?''
15580What else could I make of that terrible thing in his eyes?
15580What else could he have done?
15580What for?
15580What had fate done to Vaughn Steele and to me?
15580What if Steele had heard her say that?
15580What kind of a game was you givin''Frank?"
15580What speech known to the tongue could have given me more torture?
15580What trouble?"
15580What was I doing to her-- to Vaughn?
15580What''d make them fight?"
15580What''d you think of that stand?
15580What''ll he do fust off?
15580What''s the matter with you?"
15580Whatever is the matter with baby''s dress?"
15580When can you take me?"
15580When would the town wake up, not only to a little nerve, but to the usefulness of a Ranger?
15580Where, now, was the arch prettiness, the gay, sweet charm of Sally Langdon?
15580Which do you prefer?"
15580Who could have stopped him, then?
15580Who does Snell work for?"
15580Who heads the gang anyway?"
15580Who would ever connect Roger Sampson with a rustler gang?
15580Who''s goin''to draw on him fust-- an''go to hell?
15580Who, but that wild boy in there could have saved us all?
15580Whom shall I believe?
15580Why ca n''t he?
15580Why did Sampson want to see me?
15580Why did he hold his coat like that?
15580Why did my sharpened and experienced wits interpret a hint of threat or menace in Sampson''s reminder?
15580Why did she discharge me?"
15580Why did you let me go?"
15580Why not take to the open every night?"
15580Why on earth do you want to search here?
15580Why''d you want to blurt out that Jack Blome was here to kill Steele?"
15580Why, why?
15580Why?"
15580Why?"
15580Why?"
15580Will you be my friend?
15580Will you come?"
15580Will you forgive me?"
15580Will you give me a chance?
15580Will you let me in on some kind of deal?
15580Will you marry me?"
15580Will you start me up as a stockman, with a little herd all my own?"
15580Will you take my hand?
15580Will you trust me a little?
15580With cards, an''gun, too, eh?"
15580Would Steele ever come?
15580Would not Steele have been less than a man or more than a man had he been impervious to it?
15580Would she help to betray him?
15580Yet did he betray anything but rage at this interloper?
15580Yet, what did I know of women?
15580You mean my father and cousin George are misinformed or wrong about Steele?
15580You mean your Ranger duty-- the arresting of rough characters?"
15580You remember we used to rest on the high ridge where there was a shady place-- such a beautiful outlook?
15580You say I wronged him, Russ?
15580You thought you meant it, did n''t you?''
15580You understood me?
15580You were spying on my uncle?"
15580You''re rich?"
15580You''re the feller who jest left word fer some one at the Hope So?"
15580does he expect to_ stay_?"
46797And I suppose he was the biggest of the whole lot?
46797And is this salt- lick far away from here?
46797And just as you say, Dick, we have been through a good many hard scrapes together, have n''t we; and always, up to now, managed to come out on top? 46797 And that we are right now closer to the exploring party than ever before; that would be just fine, eh, Dick?"
46797And when it comes,Roger returned, with a shake of his head,"do you know what I intend to do?
46797And will you tell me, Dick?
46797Are they fireflies, Dick?
46797Are we going on now?
46797But answer my question, please, Dick; if not by boat, then how shall we overtake the expedition, which must be a hundred or more miles away by now?
46797But do n''t you see that, if they can breast that current, they will be able to get us off this island trap?
46797But even if that rushing water only covers the island, where will we be then, I''d like to know? 46797 But how are we to know which are the tracks of the led animal, Dick?"
46797But we never knew the Missouri to rise at this late time in the summer, did we, Dick?
46797But what about the horses?
46797But what is going to be the end of all this running about?
46797But what will happen when we get there, Dick? 46797 But will they come this way; and ought we saddle up so as to be ready to make a run for it?"
46797But will they put us to the torture, as they do their red enemies whenever they make them prisoner?
46797But you really think we will have to, do n''t you, Dick?
46797But, Dick, if they have to go, poor things, why make it harder for them?
46797But, Dick, what if the river should rise, and cover this island; do n''t you think we''d better be getting ashore?
46797But, Dick--"Yes, what idea has come into your mind now?
46797But, father, why should you feel that way?
46797But, if you thought this would happen, why did n''t we do something?
46797Can we do anything?
46797Can we make it, Dick?
46797Can you not trust me in the woods? 46797 Did you ever see anything to beat that?
46797Did you ever see such a sight, Roger? 46797 Did you hobble him the way we had the other animals fixed?"
46797Do we have to keep on the jump all night? 46797 Do you expect to hear them give tongue when they find the nest empty?"
46797Do you think he''s in, right now, Dick?
46797Do you think it will keep on increasing all day, Dick?
46797Do you think one side wants to put us to the torture right away, and the other is for holding out till they get back to their village?
46797Do you think you see anything ahead there, Dick?
46797Does that mean rain?
46797Does winter come so early in this northwestern country?
46797Dove Eyes, she said her name was; and perhaps it was all right, though I never yet saw a turtle- dove with such black eyes; did you, Dick?
46797Have we got everything, do you think?
46797Have you seen the one you are seeking among the men here?
46797He just stuck his snout into the hole as if he smelled us; and look there, will you? 46797 He says all or none, does he?
46797How about cover?
46797How can we sleep when all this noise is going on?
46797How do you suppose they will say we ought to follow the expedition, Dick?
46797How lucky that you noticed where the trees grew along the river,said Roger;"because that will be our best chance, do n''t you think, Dick?"
46797How much longer will we have, Dick?
46797I hope it is nothing serious; do you come with a message for me from the President? 46797 I suppose it''s no use throwing out a line again?"
46797I wonder if they are good to eat?
46797I? 46797 In what way, may I ask, sir?"
46797Indians?
46797Is it any evil that has befallen our good friend, Captain Lewis, and his gallant command?
46797Is that all?
46797Is that you, Dick?
46797Jasper Williams-- is he away, then?
46797No, not that, father,replied the boy;"but, would you believe it?
46797Not at home, is he, Dick; or do you think I could have been lucky enough to have killed him by a chance shot?
46797Now, how about a fire?
46797Ready, Roger?
46797See any sign of the old rascal?
46797Shall we carry our blankets, and some food, besides our guns?
46797Shall we climb up, then?
46797Thank you, Dick; you feel for a fellow, do n''t you? 46797 The proof is everything that any honest man would ask to back up your claim,"Dick continued;"but what were you offering to do when I came up?
46797Then it is n''t Indians?
46797Then perhaps our man_ has_ been here, and gone again?
46797Then we must cross over that divide; is that the way, Dick?
46797Then you still have a little idea we were seen by that lone brave, Dick; and that he may bring the rest of the hunting party down on us to- night?
46797There, what did I tell you?
46797They know now that we''ve given them the slip, do n''t they, Dick?
46797They''re making headway against even that powerful current, do n''t you see, Dick?
46797Two hours is n''t much time, is it, Dick?
46797We have nothing to regret in deciding to make this trip, have we, Dick?
46797We might as well make camp here at this lower end, eh, Dick?
46797Well, how can we blame him for picking up a stray animal that seemed to be wandering around without an owner?
46797Well, what is it, Dick?
46797What about him?
46797What about them?
46797What are we going to do now?
46797What can they do that for?
46797What do you mean?
46797What do you suppose they''ll do with us?
46797What have you found-- did Peter break his hobble rope? 46797 What if we run on to an Indian village, because we are now in the country of the Shoshones, you know?"
46797What is it, Dick?
46797What is it, Dick?
46797What is it, Dick?
46797What is it?
46797What new idea has struck you?
46797What''s all this about, Roger?
46797When would he be going out to find Jasper Williams?
46797Which one of you caught my runaway horse before he got fairly started? 46797 Who are these Mandan Indians the captain was telling us about, Dick?"
46797Who are you, and how did you come there?
46797Who''s there?
46797Why should we try to stop the old squaw if she thought it best to leave us in this way? 46797 Why would n''t it?"
46797Why, what can that he, Dick?
46797Why, what could it be then?
46797Will daylight ever come?
46797Will it ever stop?
46797Will our fish be safe here, do you think?
46797Will they be drowned, do you think?
46797Would you mind telling us what caused you to take this daring journey, my lads?
46797Yes, I heard it; but what are we going to do?
46797You claim that as your arrow, do you? 46797 You have n''t seen any sign of Indians around, I hope?"
46797You mean that we did n''t care very much for old Peter, after all; is that it, Dick?
46797You saw them, did you?
46797[ 5]That''s a fact, it does; and they came near being drowned in that same flood, too, did n''t they?"
46797Am I right, Dick?"
46797And if in those days you and Uncle Sandy could face the perils of the wilderness, and win out, why should not Roger and I do the same now?
46797And it could all be changed, you say, if only that one man''s signature might be obtained to a certain paper?"
46797And now, who may you be?
46797And see him fight, will you?
46797And the wonderful mission that beckoned them forward, was not that enough to pay for any trouble and suffering they might meet?
46797And will Jasper Williams be there to sign that paper?"
46797And, Dick, do you think we will succeed?
46797And, Roger, do you know what I have been thinking of all this day, while we sat, and fished, and watched the coming of the storm?"
46797And, even if we did, what would two shots mean among twenty foes?"
46797And, if we can see our way clear to do it honorably, without feeling that we are wrong, perhaps--""You will say stay?"
46797And, sure enough, he is n''t here, is he, Dick?
46797Are the Indians going on the warpath; or has that precious wampum belt been lost again, as father told me once happened when he was a boy?
46797But are we going to risk it out there on the river just yet, Dick?"
46797But do you really think that Indian saw us, and perhaps followed us?"
46797But how far down do you think the hole goes, Dick?
46797But look there, is n''t that a rattlesnake lying in the sun outside that burrow?"
46797But what does a little delay matter, when we know that we are going to take the great trip?
46797But what shall we do?"
46797CHAPTER VI BAD NEWS"HAVE you come to tell me what they have decided, Dick?"
46797CHAPTER VIII THE TRACK OF THE MARKED HOOF"WHAT''S gone wrong, Roger?"
46797CHAPTER XVI THE PERILS OF THE WILDERNESS"I WONDER if he saw us?"
46797CHAPTER XVIII BROUGHT TO BAY BY THE WOLF PACK"WHAT does this mean, Dick?"
46797Ca n''t you think up something to get us out of this scrape?"
46797Can we overtake Captain Lewis, after he''s had so long a start?
46797Coming down, now?"
46797Dick, what shall we do?
46797Did n''t we see one scoop a fish out with his paw, once, as he squatted on a log that ran down into the water?
46797Did you ever see such a savage fighter?
46797Did you hear what a whistling noise it made as it passed over?"
46797Do n''t you think, Roger, that we''d make pretty good- looking Sioux braves?
46797Do you think it can be game he scents?
46797Do you think they''ll crowd down to the water before we can get above the edge of the drove?
46797Do you think you can get us off, Captain Lewis?"
46797Father, what I am saying is all true, is n''t it?"
46797Had n''t we better bring them in close by, Dick?
46797Have I ever failed to take every precaution, and up to now has anything serious ever happened to me?"
46797How about it, Dick?"
46797How come here?
46797How does that suit?"
46797How?"
46797I do n''t suppose your name is Lascelles, is it?"
46797I trust he has not seen fit to recall the expedition, and abandon the plan for exploring the Great Northwest country?"
46797If he was with François Lascelles we must have given them the slip nicely, do n''t you think, Dick?"
46797If it can bring down an elk, why not a buffalo?
46797Is there any end to it, Dick?"
46797Must we push on again, do you think?"
46797Nothing could make us do that, could it?"
46797Only for that little happening what might not have been their fate on this morning that saw them started back toward the Mandan town?
46797See him pull, will you?
46797Seventeen, you say; what could two boys do against that many braves?
46797Shall I bring the horses in now, Dick, so we can load up?"
46797Shall we start on, now, Dick?"
46797Shall we try it?"
46797So what''s the use of turning them loose now?"
46797Supposing they had never left the bank of the Missouri, what would have been the fate of Karmeet and little Dove Eyes?
46797Tell me, would such an idea ever enter the head of so cautious a fellow as Dick Armstrong when it might seem to be only fit for a madcap like myself?"
46797That was a time when I had my head about me, eh, Dick?"
46797Three boats, Dick-- wasn''t that what Captain Lewis had with him when he started away from St. Louis?
46797To lose a horse would ruin our chances for overtaking the expedition, would n''t it, Dick?"
46797Was n''t that thunder I heard?
46797We want fish for supper, do n''t we, Dick?"
46797Well, how can we tell but what the same thing may happen to us now, and that out of this capture by the Sioux great good may come?"
46797What business you have here in hunting land of Shoshones?
46797What did I tell you?"
46797What if lightning should strike here?
46797What if one of the buffalo chose to turn and gore the nearest horse with its wicked horns?
46797What if the water does keep on coming up and up all day; wo n''t it cover this little island and perhaps wash it away?"
46797What is that for?"
46797What next, Dick?
46797What will we do about it, Dick; wait over and spend the best part of a day looking for him; or divide up the stuff, and get on?"
46797What would be the use of firing after him, when we''d be just as apt to hit the running animal?
46797What''s a little rain to a furry coat like his, after sleeping all winter?
46797What''s that lying on top of the blanket, Dick?"
46797When can we start, Dick?
46797Where would the meat come from, Sam?
46797Who may you be, sir, I''d like to know?"
46797Who would do the hunting and fishing then, while father worked the farm?
46797Why did you run away?"
46797Why, what could be easier than that?
46797Williams?"
46797Williams?"
46797Would they discover any kind of wild animal there, licking the salty rock; or were they fated to be disappointed?
46797Yes, it wo n''t be such a fine day for Monsieur Lascelles when he meets the Armstrong boys face to face; eh, Dick?"
46797You will not object to hearing what he has to say, father, I hope?"
46797did you ever see such big bear tracks, Dick?"
46797do n''t it seem good to be back once more close to our old friend, the river?
46797he asked, nervously fingering his gun, which he kept in his hand as he rode along;"did you see any one skulking in the shadows?"
46797how would that little island do, Dick?
46797is that so?"
46797is that your dodge, then?"
46797look at the river, will you?
46797repeated the other, in sheer astonishment, while his ruddy face lost a little of its color;"why, what can you mean, Dick?
46797then we did n''t start away from our second camp any too soon, did we, Dick?"
46797you mean in the direction of our first camp, do n''t you, Dick?
46797you''re off, are you?
28675''Ai n''t y''u got something to sell?
28675''Ha- ve you seen my Flo''--Say, kid, where y''u bound, anyway?
28675''Ye shepherds, tell me, ha- ve you seen my Flora pass this way?''
28675A Mormon or a robber?
28675A man? 28675 Against the law, ai n''t it, Specimen?"
28675Ah, why need you say that?
28675Ai n''t there anything''bout how much the Gove''nuh gits?
28675Alone, Luis?
28675Am I not making camp?
28675An''what''ll ye do?
28675And have I done anything which meets yoh disapprobation?
28675And how about these? 28675 And oh, Jim,"she concluded, after they had said a good many things,"you had n''t anything to do with it, had you?"
28675And the Secretary?
28675And what made it go dry?
28675And which kind is the Boy Orator?
28675And why did n''t you raise yer objections when you seen me do it?
28675And why not?
28675And you say he ca n''t write?
28675Are n''t you feeling good to- night, Russ?
28675Are n''t you going to make her describe her own confusion more?
28675Are the holes dug deep as I marked them on the earth?
28675Are you going to be at that circus?
28675Are you going to eat?
28675Are you sure it''s constitutional?
28675Are you the geologist?
28675Away over there again? 28675 Bishop who?"
28675But what do you say yourself, Don Ruz?
28675But why do you pretend five beans make ten?
28675By Tucson?
28675Cake?
28675Can I go?
28675Can it be done without gunpowder?
28675Can the Tinaja sink altogether?
28675Can we make Snake River to- day, Jack?
28675Can you see the Black Cross?
28675Can you see''em?
28675Captain Paisley''s compliments,said the soldier, mechanically,"and will Governor Ballard take supper with him this evening?"
28675Come round ranch up here--"Anybody killed?
28675Come where?
28675Contrary to a law of the United States? 28675 Dat gemman?
28675Did Pretty Eagle tell the white chief that? 28675 Did he ask for so many?
28675Did n''t burn the house?
28675Did she mean that? 28675 Did you ever know the young man who boarded with you to do a dishonorable thing?"
28675Did you hear what he was doing?
28675Did you not have the highest opinion of him?
28675Did you not write their names on a paper and give it to this gentleman? 28675 Did you notice anything further unusual, corporal?"
28675Did you see any one?
28675Did you see that man Ephraim found by the cañon?
28675Did you think it was all right that first morning? 28675 Die Wacht am Rhein"was finished, and now it was"''Ha- ve you seen my Flora pass this way?''"
28675Do I care for opinions? 28675 Do n''t know a man when he shoots you in broad daylight?"
28675Do n''t you know enough about us yet to know we ca n''t be threatened?
28675Do n''t you know your duty''s to be on hand when you hear firing?
28675Do n''t you remember?
28675Do n''t you see her? 28675 Do n''t you see what it all means?"
28675Do n''t you smoke?
28675Do y''u make it a rule to travel with ice- cream?
28675Do you believe it ever can go dry?
28675Do you consider Uncle Ramon nobody to live with?
28675Do you see your boarder anywhere here?
28675Do you think you''d catch anybody reading a contract wrong to old Meakum? 28675 Do you want to bet on that point?
28675Does Two Whistles think I can not do what I say?
28675Does them look like being touched in the head?
28675Ear?
28675Farewell gift, was n''t it, kid? 28675 Fer them?"
28675Fooled them clean through, did she? 28675 Fooled yer ag''in, did they?"
28675For Lord''s sake, Louise,he said,"who started that move?"
28675From Maricopa? 28675 General?--What''s that?--Where did y''u see-- What?
28675Gone on the war- path?
28675Has Mowry tried everything, too?
28675Has Mr. Jenks been in the Territory long?
28675Have some whiskey?
28675Have you asked any one for work?
28675Have you lived so long,said Pounded Meat to his ancient comrade,"and do this in the council?"
28675Have you made water boil like me?
28675Have you no newer thing than poverty to tell me? 28675 Have you seen him lately?"
28675He means you''re to send troops?
28675Him?
28675Hot, ai n''t it?
28675How about Jenks and that jury?
28675How am I to look, please?
28675How could it sink?
28675How d''ye do, Jack Long?
28675How did you get her?
28675How do you like this compared with barracks?
28675How does he manage his soda- water, do you suppose?
28675How long had he been there, do y''u figure?
28675How long have they been yourn?
28675How strong is this band reported, sir?
28675How''s business on the other side of the track?
28675How''s this?
28675Hurt?
28675I know you have n''t gone crazy,said the doctor,"but who has?"
28675I suppose it was Mormons who robbed the stage?
28675I suppose you''re the Paymaster?
28675I trust no one has been-- hurt?
28675If the gold could be identified?
28675In what are you superior to me, suh, that I can not choose? 28675 Is he a Mormon?"
28675Is it far, sir?
28675Is my road different from other people''s?
28675J? 28675 Jim, what''s the matter?"
28675Know anything about that kid?
28675Let yer men quit the''r guns, did ye, general?
28675Like this?
28675Limber Jim? 28675 Lolita,"he said,"do n''t you love me at all?
28675Louise, why do n''t you quit her outfit?
28675Luke Jenks?
28675Luke? 28675 Luke?
28675May I ask what is excellent, judge?
28675May I inquah who yo''re shakin''yoh head at, suh?
28675Maybe he catch E- egante, maybe put him in skookum- house( prison)?
28675Maybe you got that now?
28675Me? 28675 Me?
28675Mexico, sir? 28675 Mock you?
28675More water medicine? 28675 Mr. Mowry was saying last night--""You''ve seen that old scamp, have you?
28675My trombone haf come back, und--"You''ll play?
28675None of''em?
28675Not afraid? 28675 Now, Major,"said Jenks,"is your gold in the original sack, or which sack is my card in?"
28675Now,said he,"ai n''t you boys just a trifle like that duck?
28675Oh, it''s to be waitin''?
28675Oh, why did n''t we ever think of that before?
28675Oh,_ why_?
28675Open your safe,said he,"and what then?
28675Pleasure of seeing the country, ye say?
28675Politician?
28675Resign from the Lyceum? 28675 San Carlos?
28675Say, kid,he remarked, after some time,"what does J stand for?"
28675Say,he repeated, insistently,"what are we going to do?"
28675See that?
28675See things yoh way, suh?
28675She lied to them good, did she?
28675So ye were alone, were ye?
28675So you will camp here to- night, Don Ruz?
28675So you''ve not quit us yet?
28675Soft, ai n''t it?
28675Supposing they do n''t?
28675Tell your brother( would n''t a father have said Tom or Dick?)
28675That ends it, suh, I suppose?
28675That other, eh? 28675 The American?
28675The Delegate to Washington defends these thieves who robbed the United States?
28675The General ran?
28675The widow?
28675They''re not all boys?
28675This is the Paymaster''s team from Fort Grant?
28675To- morrow, sir?
28675Travelling alone, ai n''t he?
28675Tried to draw on me, did yer?
28675Um-- umpra-- what''s that? 28675 Uma- Pine''s friendly, sir, is n''t he?"
28675W''at''s dat?
28675Was it Uncle Ramon said that? 28675 Well, my dear?"
28675Well, there was a young man who boarded with you, was there not?
28675Well, what does it all mean?
28675Well? 28675 Were n''t his ear funny?"
28675Whar''s our money?
28675What are they up to?
28675What are you doing nowadays?
28675What are you feeding to the animals?
28675What cake?
28675What did California hold the record in before the Boy Orator broke it?
28675What did this gentleman do at the occurrence?
28675What did you hear them say?
28675What do I know?
28675What do you know of medicine?
28675What do you suppose they''re doing?
28675What do you think, Specimen?
28675What does Pounded Meat know of my medicine?
28675What does he come here for?
28675What does this girl want now?
28675What else should the poor man mean?
28675What fee can they pay for such a service?
28675What in the world have they done with those six other bags?
28675What is all this, Lolita?
28675What is it?
28675What were they doing?
28675What y''u got in your pack?
28675What''s that for?
28675What''s that got to do with it? 28675 What''s that got to do with me?"
28675What''s that mean? 28675 What''s that?"
28675What''s the matter with you, anyway, Cheschapah?
28675What''s the matter?
28675What''s up with ye, Sarah?
28675What''s up with you, y''u ape?
28675What''s your hurry?
28675What? 28675 When did you recognize that young man''s voice?"
28675When was the time that Price''s Left Wing surrendered?
28675Where are you bound, kid?
28675Where are you going?
28675Where did y''u say y''u found that fellow layin''the Injuns got?
28675Where is Uncle Ramon to- day?
28675Where is she now?
28675Where shall I start?
28675Where were you?
28675Where''s the gals all goin'', Bill?
28675Which of these two?
28675Which road do you go this time, querido?
28675Who dares say that?
28675Who did you say shot you?
28675Who is that hobo?
28675Who is this man?
28675Who knows?
28675Whose spurs?
28675Why are the white men not blind? 28675 Why did the young chap have a dog on his saddle?"
28675Why did you go to the hay- stack?
28675Why did you stay there six years, then?
28675Why do n''t you dance?
28675Why do n''t you make it deader, then?
28675Why do you always mock me, Lolita?
28675Why do you look down the trail so often?
28675Why do you tremble, my son? 28675 Why not?"
28675Why?
28675Will you believe I have n''t come to buy anybody''s silver mine?
28675Will you say that again, friend? 28675 Will you-- this will never-- can I find you to- morrow?"
28675Wo n''t you please let me treat?
28675Wonder how he''d like to have been that man the Injuns had sport with?
28675Y''u have n''t gone and dumped yer whole outfit at the commanding officer''s, have y''u now?
28675You ai n''t the paymaster?
28675You can all readily become entitled--"All? 28675 You can take my deposition,"I began; but what need to dwell upon this interview?
28675You got that?
28675You know E- egante?
28675You know Luis?
28675You not shoot?
28675You said this sack was one of yours, Major?
28675You savvy temporize?
28675You say the old chiefs take no stock in him_ yet_?
28675You say you can make water boil with no fire?
28675You will let me go with you?
28675You wo n''t?
28675You''ll excuse my meddling with your business?
28675You''re going to Tucson?
28675_ Did_ you, dear?
28675_ Nah!_ Johnny, how you get on?
28675_ Sport?_ Now I''ll tell y''u what sort of a town it is. 28675 _ Town_?"
28675''Flora pass this way?''"
28675Adams?"
28675Am I saying that, now, or only thinking it?
28675Am I-- are my friends-- included in this new depa''tyuh?"
28675And no one could be found to bury him except--''""Luis, are n''t you going to get my water for me?"
28675And that being so, do n''t we owe him the chance to clear himself if he can?
28675And what sort of people?
28675And what, suh, has the United States to say about my pay I have earned in Idaho?"
28675Are they all yours?"
28675Are you aware of his power and standing in this section?
28675Are you interested in silver?"
28675As for high- grade citizens, we do n''t claim to know as much as-- I suppose it''s New York you come from?
28675But Mr. Jones has pointed out--""Since when have you growed so honest, Jones?"
28675But is that so in our valley?
28675But what''s the matter with your coming to Tucson with me?"
28675But_ can_ y''u eat?"
28675Buy his mine behind Helen''s Dome?"
28675By- the- way, Mr. Jenks, I suppose you''ll return their horses and saddles now?"
28675Cactus?
28675Can y''u eat?"
28675Can you make the river boil?
28675Cumnor, see that dugout with side- thatch and roofing of tule?
28675D''you follow me?
28675D''you follow me?"
28675D''you follow me?"
28675Did he say he would give Cheschapah?
28675Did n''t you run across his tracks anywhere this summer?"
28675Did not the General exert his influence to rally his men?"
28675Did y''u ever see a crazy man?
28675Did ye say ye''re going to Globe?"
28675Did you happen to hear any one give an estimate of this band?"
28675Did you not hear this young man talking to his friends?"
28675Do I understand you to threaten me?
28675Do n''t you see her fixing that camp for me?
28675Do n''t you want to make camp?
28675Do you hear?"
28675Do you know, Luis, you have become a man quite suddenly?
28675Do you like Injuns, kid?"
28675Do you mean to say you did not know who they were?"
28675Do you mean to tell me you have seen me day aftuh day and meditated this treacherous attempt?"
28675Do you not need any bill?"
28675Do you not see it is my medicine?"
28675Do you remember?"
28675Do you suppose any Tucson jury''ll convict any of his Mormons if he says nay?
28675Do you think you''re going to ring him in?"
28675Does it not apply to yo''self, suh?
28675Father Rafael, Don Ramon, everybody?
28675For you''re a fighter too, ai n''t y''u?"
28675Genesmere knew, the foreman supposed, that this well was the last for more than a hundred miles?
28675Get them mines ye was after at Globe?"
28675Gilet?"
28675Go back?
28675Got any tobacco?
28675Got town lots there?"
28675Had this report discouraged the gentleman from visiting Arizona?
28675Has he many wives yet?"
28675Have n''t you often noticed how much finer the stars shine in this atmosphere than in the East?
28675He knew what people said-- did he not?
28675He told you that?"
28675He''s been talking to you, has he?
28675How by gum you know?
28675How many States and Territories is it that we count united under our Stars and Stripes?
28675How many were there?"
28675How might that audience of Paris, Texas, appropriately date its letters?
28675How would he give me?
28675How would it do, he suggested, to have a round of jack- pots, say ten-- or twenty, if the member from Silver City preferred-- and then stop?
28675I save his life?
28675I''d like to know if that do n''t fill the bill?"
28675In one hand, or two?
28675Indians?
28675Indians?
28675Is it_ imperative_ you mean?"
28675Is that the way still?"
28675Is the medicine bad to- day?"
28675Is this the way with the Sioux?"
28675It was not for the sake of justice but from private revenge that Mrs. Sproud had moved; and, after all, had the boy injured her so much as this?
28675Jenks?"
28675Kla- how- ya, six?"
28675Lolita perhaps had told him?
28675Luis, do you remember the day Uncle Ramon locked me up for riding on the kicking burro, and you came and unlocked me when uncle was gone?
28675Must I do everything?"
28675Must I go all that way myself?
28675My son, do you not care any more for my words?"
28675No wonder if they did, with this spell of drought-- but why mix up a plain thing with a lot of nonsense about a black cross down a hole?
28675Now what''s that, do you suppose?"
28675Now, if you want to look at good paying rock, thousands in sight, in sight, mind you--""Are you coming along with us?"
28675Or would the old warrior take me to the white man''s camp on the horse his young squaw left?"
28675Possibly wife, I thought, more likely mother, and I asked,"Is Mrs. Follet strict?"
28675Rocklin flushed, and called the next witness, whispering sulkily to me,"What can you expect if the court starts out against you?"
28675Say, what''s yer name?"
28675Saying nothing?
28675Shall I ever forget those ruffians who wanted to lynch the first one?
28675Sit down and get warm, wo n''t you?"
28675So you''ll be on hand sure now?"
28675So you''re buying no mines this season?"
28675Sproud?"
28675Square miles of what?
28675Stage- robbers?
28675That''s your opinion?"
28675The interpreter laughed-- she had a broad, sweet, coarse face, and laughed easily-- and said in English,"You hear about E- egante?"
28675The question is, are the fathers or the sons going to run the Crow Nation?"
28675The train had just brought him from Tucson, he told me, and would I indulge?
28675Their heyday, and carousals, and happy- go- luckiness all gone, and in the remaining hours-- what?
28675They had been too busy talking of the next debate, which was upon the question,"Ought we to pray for rain?"
28675Was she not lovely and he twenty- two?
28675Was that her genuine reason?"
28675Was that shame at owning she believed such stuff?
28675Was-- was that talk of yours, and singing-- was that bluff?"
28675Well, now, you''re not going to blind them yet?
28675What business had October to be hot like this?
28675What did you say your name was?"
28675What do I know about their legal quibbles at Washington?"
28675What do the Sioux warriors do now when they meet the white man on this river?
28675What do you care?
28675What do you say, for example, to the Kentucky and Tennessee mountaineers, with their vendettas of blood descending from father to son?
28675What if her priest did tell her?
28675What made you come this route?"
28675What sort of a town is it for sport?"
28675What use was there in looking down a place into a hole?
28675What was the good in standing in the road here?
28675What were they going to lynch the brother for?"
28675What word did any of them drop that wo n''t bear other constructions?
28675What''s the tax at Mike''s dance- house now?"
28675What''s your business?"
28675What''s your hurry?"
28675What''s your idea in going to Carlos?
28675What''s your name?"
28675Where did you pick up that-- that thing?
28675Where''s your proof?
28675Where?"
28675Which shall it be?"
28675Who are you that I and these gentlemen must take oaths befo''you?"
28675Who was it said to me right in the street that he disapproved of lynching?
28675Why do dey triflin''chillun ride in de kerridge?"
28675Why do n''t you go back to Sonora, then, and be rich in five minutes?
28675Why in the world does he git to cryin''for_ now_, do you suppose?"
28675Why surrender?
28675Why, then?
28675Why?"
28675Will you do it, Mistuh Hewley-- a hun''red a hand?"
28675Wo n''t you get me some fresh water now?"
28675Yet how can we help wondering about this mysterious Tinaja?
28675Yet how could I help him?
28675You boys wo n''t do anything till I come back, will you?"
28675You got that other?"
28675You threaten me, suh?
28675You''ve done no work but what I told you?"
28675[ Illustration:"''AIN''T Y''U GOT SOMETHING TO SELL?''"]
28675_ Cake_, did ye say?"
28675_ Him?_"The disgusting truth flashed clear on Jones.
28675ca n''t you heave?"
28675how_ can_ a man fire his gun right after it''s been discharged?"
28675inquired Luis, pleased at this slight coincidence--"will the Tinaja go dry, do you think?"
28675is dey folks gwineter shoot me?"
28675not a very little?"
28675said Mowry;"that there tailor- made boy?
28675said Mr. Long, deeply interested,"they did n''t eat_ them_?"
28675what_ you_ gwineter do?"
1261A letter W. Does that mean Wetzel?
1261A little nervous, eh?
1261A soldier? 1261 Alfred, what do you mean by hiding the belle of the dance away like this?
1261Am I all right? 1261 Am I then, so distasteful to you that you would rather wait here and suffer a half hour longer while I go for assistance?
1261And are you always sad when you are sincere?
1261And do you think Tarhe, Wingenund, Pipe, Cornplanter, and all those chiefs will unite their forces and attack us?
1261And how does Myeerah like the settlement by this time?
1261And what good would your runnin''do?
1261And you say you are a fisherman? 1261 Any sign of Wetzel or the Indians?"
1261Are the Indians half as bad as they are called?
1261Are the Indians on the way here?
1261Are they not sweet?
1261Are you Simon Girty?
1261Are you afraid to touch him?
1261Are you fond of canoeing and fishing?
1261Bessie, has my sister indulged in any shocking escapade in my absence? 1261 Betty, I wish to know why you ignored Mr. Clarke this morning?"
1261Betty, do you dare tell me now that you do not care for me?
1261Betty, does it hurt much?
1261Betty, what in the world could you have said to my husband?
1261Betty, where are you goin''?
1261Betty, will you fill my pipe?
1261Betty, would you mind going over to the Fort and relieving Mrs. Martin an hour or two?
1261But why? 1261 By what right does she come to free my captive?"
1261Can an Indian Princess who has the blood of great chiefs in her veins prove her love in any way that she has not? 1261 Can it really be you?
1261Can you find nothing better to talk about?
1261Can you not speak? 1261 Col. Zane, do n''t you think Wetzel may be mistaken?"
1261Dear me, is that all?
1261Did Dan''s mother tell you that? 1261 Did he?
1261Did n''t you want him to help you?
1261Did they fight, or was Mr. Clarke stabbed in his sleep?
1261Did you expect to go?
1261Did you get more than one shot at them?
1261Did you read my letter?
1261Did you see any bars and bufflers?
1261Did your brother tell you I wanted to see you this morning?
1261Do n''t you think so, Lydia?
1261Do you get homesick?
1261Do you imagine I waylaid Mr. Clarke, and then sprained my ankle on purpose?
1261Do you mean I am more thoughtful?
1261Do you presume to criticise Wetzel''s judgment?
1261Do you really mean that?
1261Do you remember him? 1261 Do you remember when you used to lift me on your horse and give me lessons in riding?"
1261Do you think it possible they might have fallen in with the Indians?
1261Do you think the Fort can hold out?
1261Does not Myeerah truly love you?
1261Does the Indian boy think he can frighten a white warrior?
1261Eb, what will Lew Wetzel do on a night like this?
1261Ebenezer, what is all this confab about? 1261 For me?
1261Go with you to the village of the pale faces, where Myeerah would be scorned, pointed at as your captors laughed at and pitied? 1261 Gone?"
1261Gone?
1261Has Jonathan heard it?
1261Have you any more Indians with you?
1261Have you become well acquainted with the boys?
1261Have you come all the way over here without a gun? 1261 Have you ever seen Red Fox?"
1261Have you more pets than Tige and Madcap?
1261Have you not met Mr. Miller before he came here from Fort Pitt?
1261Have you seen these chiefs?
1261Hello, Betts, what''s up?
1261Hello, Jack, where did you come from?
1261Here? 1261 How are you?"
1261How dare you? 1261 How did Myeerah learn of your capture by Cornplanter?
1261How did you get up in the loft?
1261How did you happen to git over here? 1261 How do you like the fort by this time?"
1261How does it come that you have the Indian girl with you?
1261How is he, Bessie?
1261How long have I been home?
1261How long have you been near the fort?
1261How long will it be until I am big enough to go?
1261How so?
1261How would we ever reach the fort by the big river? 1261 Hurt?
1261I beseeching? 1261 I can not persuade you to let me go?"
1261I? 1261 If it be necessary that you use my name, and I do not see how that can be possible, will you please have courtesy enough to say Miss Zane?"
1261If they meet again-- but how can you keep them apart?
1261Is it not rather risky going down there?
1261Is it? 1261 Is that all you remember?"
1261Is that all? 1261 Is that all?
1261Is the Indian Princess pretty?
1261Is there any maiden in your old home whom you have learned to love more than Myeerah?
1261Is there any other wound beside this one in his arm?
1261Is there, then, no hope for me?
1261Is this my Indian sweetheart?
1261Isaac, Can you get Myeerah to talk? 1261 It is customary, is it not?"
1261Jack, can you see anything?
1261Let me go, brother, let me go?
1261Lew, did you get my turkey?
1261Lew, what do you mean?
1261Lewis, did you ever have a chance to kill a hostile Indian and not take it?
1261Look here, Lew, is that not a genuine call?
1261Major McColloch, do you remember me?
1261Major will you tell Captain Boggs to come over after supper? 1261 Major, from what hill did you jump your horse?"
1261Martin shot? 1261 May I see him?"
1261Me and him had a long talk last night and--"You did not go to him and talk of me, did you?
1261Message? 1261 Miller, will you take a shot for the first prize, which I was about to award to Jonathan?"
1261Miss Zane, will you dance with me?
1261Mother, is that you?
1261Mr. Clarke? 1261 Mrs. Martin, what shall I do?"
1261My boy, did you not have Indians enough a short time ago?
1261Myeerah, what do you mean?
1261Myeerah, will you sing a Huron love- song?
1261No, I suppose not, but are you entirely innocent of those sweet glances which you gave him this morning?
1261Now, is n''t that too bad? 1261 Oh, is that all?"
1261Oh, why did you not tell me?
1261Papa, when shall I be big enough to fight bars and bufflers and Injuns?
1261Remember Isaac? 1261 Sam, what did you do with a letter Mr. Clarke gave you last October and instructed you to deliver to Betty?"
1261Saved your life?
1261Say, Betts, what the deuce is wrong?
1261So you have not forgotten me?
1261Spoiled? 1261 Sullivan, in God''s name, what can we do?
1261Then Col. Zane did not tell you?
1261Then what did you mean?
1261Then you are not glad to see Myeerah?
1261Twice?
1261Was not that delightful?
1261Was not that little fellow cute? 1261 Well, Betty, what do you think?"
1261Well, Girty, what is it?
1261Well, Tige, old fellow, what is it?
1261Well, what on earth have you been doing?
1261Were those the words he used?
1261Were you going to shoot?
1261Wetzel, in your judgment, what effect will this massacre and Crawford''s death have on the border?
1261Wetzel, what can we do? 1261 What ails the dog?"
1261What are you talking about?
1261What authority have you here?
1261What can an Injun hunter say to amuse the belle of the border?
1261What can that be?
1261What did he mean, Betts?
1261What did he mean?
1261What did he say?
1261What difference does that make now?
1261What do I think?
1261What do you care whether strangers believe or not? 1261 What do you mean?
1261What do you mean? 1261 What else did he say?"
1261What has he done that he be made the plaything of children? 1261 What has he in particular against you?"
1261What has that to do with it? 1261 What have you there?"
1261What in the world has happened? 1261 What is Lewis looking at?"
1261What is it you are churning so vigorously?
1261What is it, Sam?
1261What is the matter with Tige?
1261What is the nature of this excursion, and how long shall we be gone?
1261What kind of a man was he?
1261What letter?
1261What possessed you to do this, Sam? 1261 What right have you to speak?"
1261What shall Myeerah say?
1261What shall we do with the horses?
1261What the hell?
1261What was that?
1261What was that?
1261What would I do if Mr. Simon Girty tried to make a squaw of me?
1261What?
1261When did he insult you?
1261Where are Metzar and the other men?
1261Where are you young people going?
1261Where is Isaac?
1261Where on earth have you been?
1261Where were you headin''your pony?
1261Where''s Betts? 1261 Where?"
1261Who are you? 1261 Who is it?"
1261Who is that tall man with her?
1261Why can not you free me?
1261Why did you not tell me that man was here again?
1261Why do n''t they do something?
1261Why do n''t they fire the cannon?
1261Why do you ask?
1261Why does not Clarke return?
1261Why does the paleface hide like a fox near the camp of Cornplanter?
1261Why not fight for her, then? 1261 Why so?"
1261Why, Betty, what in the world do you mean? 1261 Why, Eb, what do you mean?
1261Why, Lew, you do not mean you would shoot Madcap?
1261Why, what is this? 1261 Why-- why are you in such a hurry to go?"
1261Will Mr. Clarke live?
1261Will she never tell me? 1261 Will the girls have a chance in these races?"
1261Will there be any way to get news from Fort Henry while we are away?
1261Will you call Betty here a minute?
1261Will you let go of that bridle, or shall I get off and walk back for assistance?
1261Will you surrender?
1261Will you take this man to be your wedded husband, to love, honor and obey him all the days of your life?
1261Will you take this woman to be your wedded wife, to love, cherish and protect her all the days of her life?
1261Will you tell us?
1261Will you-- please-- for some one?
1261With you?
1261With you?
1261Would you expect Betty to fall into his arms?
1261Would you mind being explicit?
1261You are going to see if the Indians are making preparations to besiege the Fort?
1261You are going to stay with us a while, are you not?
1261You have learned to dance and ride and--"What?
1261You think I had n''t ought to speak to him of you?
1261You''re in love with Betty, ai n''t you?
1261****************"Bess, what do you think?"
1261A woman-- what can she do?
1261After all could there not have been some mistake?
1261And how do you like the frontier?
1261And the sprained ankle?
1261And then in a lower tone she continued:"What did you mean about Mr. Miller?
1261And what life could be freer than a Huron''s?
1261And where did you get all that pretty fringe and those beautiful beads?"
1261Anything else?"
1261Are you coming?"
1261Are you enjoying yourself?"
1261Are you not entirely well?"
1261Are you not going back to the Wyandots at a dangerous time?"
1261Are you sure he spoke?
1261Are you too off on a turkey hunt?"
1261Been out for a ride?"
1261Bessie, will not cold water do as well?"
1261Betty, what have you done?"
1261But for Heaven''s sake, Lew, how would he profit by betraying us?"
1261But if this were true where was the clatter of the horse''s hoofs?
1261But tell me, do n''t be angry, do n''t you think too much of some one?"
1261But what can women do in times of war?
1261But why do you ask?"
1261By the way, what do you think of this Ralfe Miller?
1261By what-- whom?"
1261Can I go with you next time?"
1261Can you do anything to get me out of this?"
1261Can you expect a man to feel as I do and remain calm?
1261Can you not realize that we would be happier if you would let me go?
1261Can you understand that?"
1261Can you, Jack?"
1261Come over to see about the horses?
1261Could anything be lovelier than that soft, dark brown?"
1261Could she ever be happy?
1261Could she ever forget?
1261Could she not have averted all this?
1261Did he call for any particular young lady?
1261Did he take you in his arms?
1261Did n''t he tell you?"
1261Did you read it?"
1261Do I know him?
1261Do I look mussed or-- or excited-- or anything?"
1261Do n''t you know we have had frost?"
1261Do you hear that odd clicking noise?
1261Do you hear?
1261Do you not see that this will end in a tragedy some day?
1261Do you think I am made of wood?
1261Do you understand?
1261Does she care for him?"
1261Finally Silas Zane burst out:"Not find it?
1261For now what could she give this man to whom she owed more than her life?
1261For what might the morning sun disclose?
1261For what?
1261From Fort Pitt?
1261From whom?"
1261Getting ready to put on the harness, eh?
1261Glad to see me?
1261Going after that turkey?
1261Had he run off with her?
1261Had not Betty told them she did not care for Mr. Miller?
1261Has he been good?
1261Has she not suffered?
1261Have n''t I been away as well as you?
1261Have you anything to substantiate your words?"
1261Have you anything to suggest?"
1261Have you been doing anything with your traps?"
1261Have you been hurt?
1261Have you ever heard that long mournful howl Tige gives out sometimes in the dead of night?"
1261Have you forgotten them?"
1261Have you heard of Major McColloch''s leap over the hill?"
1261How about the McCollochs?
1261How are you?
1261How could she?
1261How dared he?
1261How did he ever reach home?"
1261How did he succeed in binding Tige?"
1261How did she do it?
1261How do you know?"
1261How goes it at the south bastion?"
1261How had he kept that promise made when Betty was a little thing bouncing on his knee?
1261How had she ever been deceived in him?
1261How long have you known Lew Wetzel?"
1261I am very happy; but tell me, did a message come for me to- day?"
1261I have left a fine old plantation, slaves, horses, a country noted for its pretty women-- for what?
1261I wonder if he is still living?"
1261I wonder what the deuce this is?
1261Is he dead?"
1261Is he going to Fort Pitt?"
1261Is he not pretty?"
1261Is it any wonder?
1261Is it not enough?
1261Is it not rather dull and lonesome here for you?"
1261Is n''t he pretty?
1261Is not all nature sad?
1261Is she badly hurt?
1261Is she here?"
1261Is she not laughed at, scorned, called a''paleface''by the other tribes?
1261Is she unhappy?
1261Lew, did Slover know how many men got out?"
1261Lewis, what can you make out?"
1261Love her?
1261Lydia slipped her arm affectionately around Betty''s neck and said,"Why did you not come over to the Fort to- day?"
1261Marry the first man who asked her?"
1261May I come over to see you to- morrow?"
1261May I help you?"
1261May I?"
1261Mr. Clarke, will you say something appropriate?"
1261Now what would you do if he caught you on one of your lonely rides and carried you off to his wigwam?
1261Of course, you have read his books?"
1261Oh, Lew, Mr. Clarke, can not you rescue him?
1261Or must I take again those awful chances of escape?
1261Perhaps she might have misjudged him?
1261Please let me carry you?"
1261Poor Clarke, what has he done now?"
1261Shall I accept that incident as a happy augury?
1261Shall I take her?"
1261She gave him a little shake and said:"Noah, have you been fighting again?"
1261Strange choice for a girl, was it not?"
1261Surely she could not have trailed you?"
1261Tell me, is it because we went off in the canoe and have been in danger?"
1261That kind of gives me a right, do n''t it, considerin''it''s all fer your happiness?"
1261Then, after a long silence, Alfred continued,"Will you go down to the old sycamore?"
1261These make three, do they not?"
1261To whom belonged that white face?
1261Was he free?
1261Was his finding you an accident?"
1261Was it a bird or a squirrel?
1261Was it an accident?"
1261Was it necessary to keep me here all this time to explain that you were on duty?"
1261Was n''t it dreadful, his carrying you?"
1261Was n''t that a plucky thing?"
1261Was not Girty, the white savage, the bane of the poor settlers, within range of a weapon that never failed?
1261Was not the murderous chieftain, who had once whipped and tortured him, who had burned Crawford alive, there in plain sight?
1261Was this his sister or-- someone else?
1261We are happy to see you get back your old time spirits, but could you not be a little more careful?
1261Well, Betty, how are you?"
1261Well, he thought, what did it matter?
1261Well, that is nothing to get alarmed about, is it?
1261Were the Indians preparing for war?
1261What are you driving at?"
1261What can I do for you?"
1261What could she do?
1261What could she have thought of me?
1261What did Colonel Ebenezer Zane tell him?"
1261What did I miss?"
1261What did he mean?
1261What did my brother tell you?"
1261What did my father say to you?"
1261What did you do with it?"
1261What did you tell him?"
1261What did-- could you have said?"
1261What do you make out?"
1261What does it mean?"
1261What does this mean?"
1261What had awakened her?
1261What had she done?
1261What has happened?
1261What has happened?"
1261What has he to do with Betty?
1261What has he to say?"
1261What have you been doing all winter?"
1261What have you been doing?"
1261What have you meant all this winter?
1261What have you to say of your father and the Major and John McColloch?
1261What man?"
1261What message?"
1261What mysterious force thrilled through Alfred Clarke and made Betty Zane tremble?
1261What right have you to detain me?"
1261What right have you to say that?
1261What say you, Wetzel?"
1261What shall I do?"
1261What shall we use for bait?"
1261What the deuce is that?
1261What was it that made his heart beat faster?
1261What was the meaning of the arch glances she bestowed upon him, if she did not care for him?
1261What was there so familiar in the poise of that figure?
1261What were Indians and pioneers, forts and cities to it?
1261What were the women sobbing and crying over?
1261What will become of Myeerah if you leave her?
1261What will he say about the massacre?"
1261What would her girl friends say?
1261What would she say?
1261What would you have her do?
1261What would you have me do?"
1261What''s the row?"
1261What''s this?"
1261What''s to be done?"
1261When did you first see this change?"
1261When the dance ended Lydia and Betty stopped before Wetzel and Betty said:"Lew, are n''t you going to ask us to dance?"
1261When will you return to the Fort?"
1261Where are you going so early?"
1261Where did you learn to steer a canoe?"
1261Where is Betty?"
1261Where is the Colonel?"
1261Where shall I look?
1261Who are you?"
1261Who are you?"
1261Who dared beard him in his den?
1261Who dared defy the greatest power in all Indian tribes?
1261Who is he?"
1261Who is there to mourn for Logan?
1261Who knows what will befall this little settlement?
1261Who knows?
1261Who made the suit?
1261Who taught you?"
1261Who was the Indian girl?
1261Who was to tell her that he loved her?
1261Who was to tell her that it was because his whole heart and soul had gone to her that he had kissed her?
1261Who will volunteer?"
1261Who''s this?
1261Whom shall we send?
1261Why are you not civil to Clarke?"
1261Why could you not leave me in peace?"
1261Why did n''t I pay more attention to Wetzel''s advice?"
1261Why did n''t you keep on lettin''''em come in?
1261Why did n''t you shoot him?
1261Why did she think of him so often?
1261Why did you not say so?
1261Why do you ask?"
1261Why do you ask?"
1261Why not let the Indians kill me?"
1261Why not try to win her?"
1261Will it be declared?"
1261Will you come in?"
1261Will you ever free me?
1261Will you forgive me and may we not be friends?"
1261Will you go with me?
1261Will you tell us one?"
1261With only a few charges for their rifles and none for the cannon how could they hope to hold out against the savages?
1261With the veil rolled away could you work as hard, accomplish as much?
1261Would we ever see you again?"
1261Would you care if I never returned?"
1261Would you like to see them?"
1261Would you wish her to be inconstant, like the moon?''"
1261You do n''t care nothin''for Miller, do you Betty?"
55720''Twon''t be necessary-- wait a minute,returned Tom as he passed the old envelope to Jack and me with the query:"Do you men recognize that paper?"
55720''Why, man,''says Bob Chambers,''where''ve you been all this time that you ai n''t got acquainted with that estimable old gentleman, Kernel Rich? 55720 Ai n''t you never learnt how to keep beans from stickin''to the bottom of the camp- kettle?"
55720Am I to have that fine horse without paying you a dollar?
55720An now what are we to do with him? 55720 Bill,"I asked,"do the officers at the garrison seem to think there''s any danger of the Indians going on the war- path?"
55720But how did the buffalo, man, and horse happen to die so close together?
55720But what will you do for a horse?
55720But, Tom,I asked,"what are we going to do with so much venison?"
55720But, Tom,said Jack,"how can we work our passage in a bull train when ne''er a one of us knows anything about driving bulls?"
55720But, sergeant,I asked Tom,"what will the captain do with the jayhawkers after he takes''em in-- take''em back to Leavenworth as prisoners?"
55720But, sergeant,I put in,"wo n''t the jayhawkers down at their camp, waiting for their chief, suspect something wrong when he do n''t show up?"
55720But, sergeant,inquired Jack,"what will we do with this feller?
55720By the way, how is the old chief?
55720Ca n''t we do something to help him?
55720Can you do it again, Bill, or was that just an accident?
55720Changin''the subject,said Jack,"it''s about five miles from here up to Charley Rath''s ranch, at the mouth of Walnut Creek; ai n''t it, Tom?"
55720Could they be a reinforcement of Kiowas going to join Satank''s party?
55720Did you find out anything about them from the storekeeper?
55720Do n''t that beat the devil?
55720Do you mean it, Tom? 55720 Do you mean that you can tell the points of the compass by a watch?"
55720Do you mind old Rich, the sutler at Fort Leavenworth?
55720Do you s''pose I''ve been a- cookin''an''eatin''Uncle Sam''s beans all these years an''ai n''t learnt how to cook bean soup without burnin''it? 55720 Do you think they''ll go on the war- path, Bill?"
55720Do you think, Adkins,I asked,"that there is any likelihood of To hausen''s band moving up this way?
55720Have you seen any fresh signs, Tom, that make you think there''s Indians about?
55720He say,''Maybe so you lie,''said Joe, making the sign of the forked tongue; then continued,"Any mans in casa-- house?"
55720How about tobacco and pipes?
55720How about whiskey?
55720How in the world did you do it, Tom?
55720How long do you and Adkins expect to be gone on this trip, Bill?
55720How long''s it going to take you?
55720How many did you get?
55720How many do you expect to find in the morning?
55720How many of you will go on this trip?
55720How would''Black Prince''do?
55720How?
55720I noticed that you do n''t carry any picket- pin,I remarked;"how do you picket your horse out?"
55720I wonder if I hurt him much? 55720 In a buffalo?"
55720In what?
55720Is supper most ready, boys?
55720Is that so?
55720It''s a great scheme, Tom,I added,"and it seems to me there ought to be money in it; but have we the capital?"
55720It''s sure a fine plan,said Jack,"if we can carry it through; but how much money is it going to take?"
55720Jack, have n''t you been a little too brash? 55720 Now tell us what to do to get ready for travelling?"
55720Oh, come now, Tom,said Jack with an incredulous smile,"you do n''t expect us to believe such a yarn as that?"
55720Ol''Dave asked me:''Where you find''em?'' 55720 Peck, do you believe him?"
55720So this new quartermaster is short of greenbacks and has to pay off in vouchers, hey?
55720That would n''t be a bad idea,I replied,"but what shall we call it?
55720That''s a good idea; but what if the mustangs wo n''t work?
55720Well, Tom, what are the orders for to- morrow?
55720Well, Tom,I asked,"what are your plans for meeting this emergency if you think these fellows are going to give us trouble?"
55720Well, but did you find out how many there are in this gang?
55720Well, who''s going to mind camp, an''who''s going over to the fort?
55720Well,I continued,"I suppose each one of you is studying out how he can quickest blow it in before re- enlisting?"
55720Well,said Tom,"why not compromise and call it''Camp Coyotelope''?"
55720What are you going to do with him, Jack?
55720What can we do, Tom?
55720What did I tell you?
55720What do you mean, sir?
55720What do you mean?
55720What do you take me for, young fellow?
55720What does Dave say about the Kiowas?
55720What is your plan, Tom?
55720What seems to be their principal grievance against the white men?
55720What will you take for it delivered to me there in as good condition as it is now?
55720What''s happened? 55720 What?
55720When are you going over to Camp Coyotelope?
55720Where do you expect to find the Kiowa trail, Bill?
55720Where''s your company, and how many of you is they?
55720Whoever taught you that watch trick, Tom?
55720Why not call him''Captain Tucker,''after the jayhawker?
55720Why, Jack,I began,"how in the world did you happen to kill a buck?
55720Why, Tom,asked Jack innocently,"do they catch otter with fish- hooks?"
55720Why, fellows,whined the big jayhawker,"you shorely do n''t mean to leave me in this fix all night, do you?
55720Why, he''s a bad one, ai n''t he? 55720 Why, pardner,"exclaimed Tucker in apparent astonishment,"you do n''t mean to say you''d be so foolish as to compel us to use force?
55720Why, what brought you back so soon?
55720Would you do that for me, Tom?
55720Yes, but where? 55720 Yes,"he replied,"and I have been wondering at it and was going to ask you if many of the Indians have such vehicles?"
55720''What''s the matter, Shutts?''
55720''You''re Tucker, the jayhawker, an''I''m Jack, the giant- killer''--an''was n''t that a big bluff?
5572060"It must have been the work of Injuns"154"Go to Tom"250 THE WOLF HUNTERS CHAPTER I TOM''S PLAN"Well, men, what will we do?"
55720After giving him time to study the problem out, I asked:"Well, Tom, what do you make of it?"
55720Ai n''t there some trick about it, Bill?"
55720And I?
55720And how did you get your clothes wet?"
55720And then asked, looking anxiously into my face:"You savvy?"
55720And then suddenly stopping to listen to a rattle of firearms out toward the wagon, he exclaimed:"There, do you hear that?
55720As he took the glass to examine it, he asked:"How much is it worth?"
55720As soon as the interpreter had moved up to him Satank spoke a few words to Mexican Joe, who asked in broken English:"Where your pardners?
55720As the big captain halted a few feet from us he demanded angrily:"What do you men mean by drawing your guns on us an''halting us this way?"
55720As we entered the dugout and sat down to dinner I thought to ask:"What medicine is it that you want me to get, Tom?
55720As we gathered around the mess- chest I inquired:"When do they expect the volunteers that are coming to relieve the regulars?"
55720As we trotted along I asked the scout:"How many Kiowas did you and Saunders''party kill?"
55720Before he started: Jack asked,"Tom, what are we to do with Tucker''s horse?"
55720But how can the blind lead the blind?
55720But what could three of us do against a gang of unknown numbers of these lawless men?
55720But why do n''t they come here, instead of going by on the trot?"
55720By and by the lieutenant got his horse saddled an''called back into the stable:''Are you all ready there, boys?''
55720CHAPTER IV BACK TO THE BUFFALO RANGE As we started back up- town Bill exclaimed gleefully:"Well, boys, what do you think?
55720Did you notice any bullet hole in his horse''s skull?"
55720Do n''t you want to git rid of him?"
55720Easy as rollin''off a log when it''s explained to you, ai n''t it?"
55720Had I been dreaming?
55720Had n''t we better take them fore wheels off and throw them into the river overnight?"
55720Hang him in the mornin''?"
55720Has he been any account to you?"
55720Has the old rascal been here?
55720Have either of you seen any signs of such a layout in your rambles up or down the creek?"
55720Have you any objections to that?"
55720Have you anything to eat?"
55720He pulled up, sudden like, with a jerk, an''asked:''What''s up?
55720How about old To hausen, Bill; is he still camped at the same place?"
55720How are we going to stow''em away to take care of''em till spring?"
55720How do you account for these misfit names, Jack?"
55720How do you do it, Bill?"
55720How do you read it?"
55720How far off from the man''s bones was the bones of the Injun ponies that you found?"
55720How is it with Jack?"
55720How many skins are you going to get this haul?"
55720How would it do to call our place''Camp Antelope''?"
55720I asked:"What do you think of the outfit, Tom?"
55720I exclaimed as I reined up and dismounted,"how in the world did you live through the fire?
55720I kept asking myself:"What can I do to help them?"
55720If he had a camp he''s had a pardner or two, an''what must have become of them?
55720In reply to his question,"What do you say?"
55720Is he any good?"
55720Is it a whack, Cap?"
55720Is that so, boys?"
55720It was near the ranch, when Peacock had it, that Pawnee, the Kiowa chief, was killed by Lieutenant Bayard; was n''t it?"
55720Noticing To hausen''s dilapidated old ambulance standing near his lodge, I said:"Captain, do you see that old government ambulance?"
55720Now, do you men''savvy''all them instructions?"
55720Now, what do you say to that?"
55720Now, what do you say to that?"
55720One of them called out to Tucker as though soliciting an order to charge on us:"_ Cap, do n''t you want us up there to settle that matter?
55720Other mans?
55720Our tent was fast becoming filled with bales of wolfskins, and one day I asked:"Tom, what are we going to do for some place to store our wolfskins?
55720Savvy?
55720Savvy?"
55720See the big smoke over the tree tops?
55720Seeing old Tom examining the wheels, I asked:"Well, Tom, what are we going to do about it?
55720Seen any fresh signs about?"
55720That is a pretty useful thing in travelling across the prairie, where there is no road or trail to follow?"
55720The captain opened the door and stepped out, when we all three saluted, and as he returned it he asked:"Well, men, what''s wanting?"
55720Then he added pleadingly:"But, sergeant, is they no way we could fix it so that me an''Peck could go with you on this round- up?
55720Turning to us, he called out in a tone of indignant surprise:"What do you mean?"
55720We''ve named the mules-- or Wild Bill did--''Dink''an''''Judy''an''the broncos''Polly''an''''Vinegar''; now, what''ll we call the horse?"
55720Well, what''ll we do with these things?"
55720What are your plans for getting these men there?
55720What do you expect to do with yourself?"
55720What do you say to it?"
55720What do you say to the job?"
55720What do you say, Peck?"
55720What do you think of it?"
55720What if Jack''s rashness should bring this gang of desperadoes down on us?
55720What were we to do for bedding for the soldiers who had come away from the garrison in a hurry without any thought of being out overnight?
55720What will you give me for the whole lot?"
55720What''s up?''
55720When the examination was completed Bill asked:"What do you think of the outfit, Tom, and what will you give me for the whole caboodle?"
55720When?"
55720Where do you think we''d better locate our winter camp, Tom?"
55720Where wagon?"
55720Where''s Vinegar?"
55720Who comes there?"
55720Who do you take me fur and who are you, anyway?''
55720Why did n''t you kill him?"
55720Why?"
55720Will Adkins come, too?"
55720Will you please tell us what yours is?"
55720Wonder what''s up?"
55720Would your men consider such a bid as that?"
55720You savvy the philosophy of it?"
55720an''then move out''by fours,''how do you suppose he did it?
55720asked Jack,"an''the dead oodles of money he rakes in all the time?
55720what''s this?"
45690All right,said Jack;"I''ll go you; but we have n''t time to set the traps to- night, have we?"
45690And what is a dead- fall?
45690Are they just like the plains buffalo, Hugh?
45690Are those beavers?
45690Are those horses coming?
45690Are you going to take a tent with you, Hugh?
45690Are you willing to lend a hand to skin this bear?
45690But how long will it take to build it?
45690But what is this queer, half- bitter taste that it has, Hugh?
45690But why do n''t those old logs that you were speaking about, rot and disappear?
45690But, Hugh,Mr. Sturgis went on,"what''s the shortest way to get there; and how would you go?"
45690But, is not the work very hard?
45690By the way, Hugh,said Jack,"how much grub will we want to take with us?
45690Could n''t find any birch?
45690Did n''t you ever, back East, see a dog get between a woodchuck and his hole? 45690 Did you ever see one opened?"
45690Did you fire that shot, my boy?
45690Did you have any trouble with your traps, Hugh?
45690Do rabbits ever have horns? 45690 Do you know, son,"he went on,"what the best thing in the world is to drag, if you want to make a trail around a trap to bring a bear to it?"
45690Ever eat any in spring time?
45690Get it?
45690Good- evening,said Hugh,"wo n''t you light down and sit?"
45690Great show, is n''t it, Henry?
45690Have you any idea, Hugh, about what time the bears come here?
45690Have you men just come from Rock Creek?
45690He''s fat and in fine condition, is n''t he, Hugh? 45690 How came it you did n''t stop her with your first shot, son?"
45690How do you mean ca n''t follow us, Hugh?
45690How do you mean, Hugh? 45690 How do you mean, Hugh?"
45690How is it, Hugh,he said,"that geese are found here as late in the season as this?
45690How many packs do you intend to take, Hugh?
45690How many young ones do the beaver have?
45690How?
45690Hugh,he went on, after a pause,"the Indians must have a great many beliefs and stories about birds and animals, have n''t they?
45690Hugh,said Jack,"you told me to hang the beaver skin where the animals could not get at it, but what about that bear skin out there?
45690I am sure I do n''t know, Hugh; what is it?
45690I got my knowledge about that from the books, but I guess the books do n''t know everything?
45690I say,he said,"do you live out here?"
45690I suppose you have no more idea than I have how the fire got started?
45690I suppose, Hugh, there is no great chance of our being able to shoot any of these animals while we are hunting?
45690I''ll allow,answered Hugh,"that the geese ought to be on their breeding grounds by this time, but why do you say they ought to be up north?"
45690I''ve asked that question, too,said Hugh,"and this is what old Saiyeh told me--""Saiyeh-- that''s Mad Wolf, is n''t it, Hugh?"
45690In that case we ought to start just as soon as we possibly can, ought n''t we?
45690Is there any other fur there?
45690It does look fairly ship- shape, does n''t it?
45690It goes better to- day, son, does n''t it?
45690It will be quite a job, wo n''t it, Hugh?
45690It''s a bully good camping place, is n''t it?
45690It''s got the same old number four in it, has n''t it?
45690Looks that way, does n''t it?
45690More than you bargained for, eh, son?
45690No use to think of hunting there, is there, Hugh?
45690No,said Henry,"I do n''t think they would; but is there any danger?"
45690No,said Hugh,"I had better do this part of the business myself, but do n''t you see these riggings have got to be fitted to the animals?
45690No,said Jack,"that''s so, but I do n''t know enough to make those breast bands and breeching to help you, do I?"
45690No,said Jack,"what is it?"
45690Now tell me, Hugh, how do we go from here down into North Park?
45690Now, Hugh,said Jack,"what do you think about our summer''s trip?
45690Of course, Hugh, I understand, and I''m glad that you speak to me like this about it; but what do you mean by''a hog under an acorn tree''?
45690Our skinning knives, Hugh?
45690Tell me, Hugh,he added after a pause,"what other fur may we expect to see here?"
45690That was a wonderful knife Mr. Clifford had, was n''t it, Hugh?
45690Then you got the other cub, did you, Hugh?
45690Then you think it was a cub that climbed up this tree?
45690Then, when you get into the high mountains,said Mr. Sturgis,"you think you can get some beaver, do you?"
45690There, son,he said,"do you see the philosophy of it now?
45690There,said Hugh,"do you see that fur that grows next to the skin?
45690Those fellows that have the big horns? 45690 Tired to- night, son?"
45690Was n''t that a pretty sight, Hugh?
45690Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what about trapping wolves?
45690Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what are we going to do to- day?
45690Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what particular place did you think of going to?"
45690Well, I do n''t know,said Hugh;"there must be at least one; he makes plenty of noise, does n''t he?"
45690Well, Jack,said Mr. Sturgis, as they sat at the table,"have you and Hugh had a consultation yet over what you are going to do?"
45690Well, after that, Hugh, I expect those men had more respect for your advice, did n''t they?
45690Well, how long ago were those mountains burned over?
45690Well, son, what luck?
45690Well, son,said Hugh, when the job of stretching the hide and shading it was ended,"do you feel pretty wolfish?"
45690Well, where do they live?
45690Well, why did you make that long ride?
45690Well,asked Jack,"what''s the matter with trying them to- morrow morning before we got to the traps?"
45690Well,said Hugh,"is that what you shot at?
45690Well,said Hugh,"that little cuss rather played it on us, did n''t he?
45690Well,said Hugh,"why do n''t you take him out and give him a lesson in shooting?"
45690Well,said Jack to himself,"what sort of fools do these people think we are?
45690Well,said Jack,"is there any reason why we should not start to- morrow?"
45690Well,said Jack,"what do you suppose they do that for?
45690Well,said Jack,"what do you want me to do?
45690Well,said Jack,"what''s the matter with hunting him up and finding out?"
45690Well,said Jack,"where do you want to hunt, and what are you going to hunt when you ca n''t see much more than arm''s length ahead of you?
45690Well,said Jack,"you''ve worked pretty fast, Hugh, have n''t you?
45690Well,said Mr. Sturgis,"when can you get ready to start?"
45690Were there two calves with them?
45690Were you ever snow blind?
45690What animals are there, Hugh, that kill the beaver? 45690 What are they, Hugh?"
45690What are those?
45690What are you going to do to- day, Hugh?
45690What are you going to do, Hugh?
45690What became of the cubs, Hugh?
45690What did the bob- cat do when the beaver dived, Hugh?
45690What do you mean, Hugh?
45690What do you mean?
45690What do you suppose it was they saw, Hugh?
45690What do you think about it, Jack?
45690What is it, Hugh?
45690What is the fisher, Hugh?
45690What is this bird you call a rail, son?
45690What sort of a gun is yours?
45690What was the matter?
45690What''s the Michigan, Hugh-- a place or a stream?
45690When was that, Hugh?
45690Where are you going now?
45690Where are you going to look for that antelope, Hugh?
45690Where do you mean, Hugh,said Mr. Sturgis,"down in the Parks of Colorado?"
45690Where is he?
45690Where was that, Hugh?
45690Which do you think would be better, Hugh?
45690Why is it, Hugh, that there are no trout in the Platte River?
45690Why is that, Hugh?
45690Why, Hugh,said Jack,"have you seen any sign?"
45690Why, how''s that, Hugh? 45690 Why, yes, Hugh, that does seem queer; but where do the trout come from that are in the other Rocky Mountain streams?
45690Why, yes,said Jack,"we can go on, but where do you want to go?"
45690Why, you are pretty nearly what they call an''old timer''out here, are n''t you? 45690 Why,"said Jack,"did n''t you notice that she saw us and moved just as I fired?"
45690Why,said Jack,"do n''t you know the wild mountain sheep?"
45690Would you mind if I tried to help you?
45690Yes,Jack went on,"I suppose they are, but is that what is going to happen to all the wild animals and birds in this country?
45690Yes,assented Jack,"it does, of course; and what tremendous coats these horses get in this country, do n''t they?"
45690You catch them with dead- falls, do you, Hugh?
45690You did, eh?
45690You do n''t have the name of Whiskey Jack for these birds out here, do you, Hugh?
45690You have n''t wasted any time, have you? 45690 Your medicine, Hugh,"asked Jack,"what is that?"
45690A lively place, is n''t it?"
45690After a while Henry seemed to tire of this inaction, and said to Jack,"What are we going to do, Jack?
45690After the talk had a little quieted down, and supper was being cooked for the boys, Jack asked Hugh,"Where does this meat come from, Hugh?"
45690Are there other animals, the meat of which is affected by the touching of the hide?"
45690Are they hard to catch, or is it not much trouble to catch young wolves?"
45690Are they not worth trapping?
45690As the two started on Jack looked at the sun and asked,"Do you know what time it is, Hugh?"
45690As they were at work removing the animal''s entrails, Jack said,"Now, what shall we try to carry back?"
45690At last he spoke to Hugh about it, and said,"How many of those coyotes do you think there are yelling out there, Hugh?"
45690CHAPTER VII A TALK ABOUT BEAVER"Well, now, Hugh,"asked Jack,"what can you tell me about beaver trapping?"
45690Ca n''t we go on?"
45690Can you tell me if we''ll do that, because unless we do we better get back down onto the flat and hunt some other way across the mountains?"
45690Clifford?"
45690Could she have touched the bait and then jumped back while the log was falling?"
45690Curious thing, is n''t it, son, that these little fawns do n''t give out any scent?"
45690Did n''t you ever hear of that before?"
45690Did you ever see a muskrat house back East?"
45690Did you ever see anything like it?"
45690Did you see more than the one as we came up, son?"
45690Do n''t you know that is what the beaver feed on, and, of course, the flesh tastes of it?
45690Do n''t you see there in that dam some green leaves sticking up?
45690Do they store up food in that way and go back to it when they are hungry?"
45690Do you expect to see any Indians, Hugh?"
45690Do you know what sort of an axman Jones is?"
45690Do you mind coming along?"
45690Do you remember, Hugh, how crazy I was to go off on a war party with Joe and Bull Calf and some of that outfit, one summer up with the Piegans?"
45690Do you want to take any of this meat along?
45690Got everything ready?"
45690Have n''t I ever told you about that wolf that Billy Collins killed three or four years ago at the ranch?"
45690Have n''t you noticed something like smoke off to the west?
45690Have you ever looked carefully at these dams?"
45690Have you seen any of the Indians?"
45690Have you thought of what you want to do?"
45690Have you tried it at a target?"
45690He put the shell in his pocket, and then asked,"Which way was your gun pointed?"
45690How are you getting on on your side?"
45690How are you going to know when you get an egg back East what bird it belongs to?"
45690How did you get him?"
45690How long are you going to be here?"
45690How was he hit, Hugh?"
45690I believe the best thing for us to do is to take up these traps, skin these bears and whatever beaver we get, and then to move along?"
45690I expect if we put a lash rope over them and pull pretty hard it will smash some of the eggs, wo n''t it?"
45690I guess you are ready for supper, are n''t you, son?"
45690I reckon I told you that I had shod both of them, did n''t I, when you said that you wanted me to go in for Jack?"
45690I told Mrs. Carter that we would be gone for a couple of months; was that right?"
45690I wonder if I could learn how to do it?"
45690If we can get up pretty high we may see a sheep or possibly a bull elk, and I guess you''d like a shot at either one, would n''t you?"
45690Is it so that the beaver will gnaw their feet off to get out of a trap?"
45690Is n''t that so, Hugh?"
45690Is that the same creature that the books speak of as the black cat?"
45690Is there anything we can do for you?"
45690Is there time enough for us to go down there now?"
45690It was pretty hard hauling this afternoon, was n''t it?"
45690It''s a great secret how it''s made, is n''t it, Hugh?
45690It''s almost the whole width of the continent, is it not?
45690Jack called back,"Did you hear that, Hugh?
45690Jack touched Hugh, and when he bent down his head, whispered to him,"Could n''t we crawl up a little closer and watch them?"
45690Johnson?"
45690Just as Jack started out with Pawnee, to take him to the barn, Hugh passed by and said,"Does he know you, son?"
45690May not some of the animals trouble that to- night?"
45690Now what do you think the Indians up north say about these birds?"
45690Now, shall I sit here and skin this bear, and leave you to go and pick up the traps, or will you skin the bear and let me go for the traps?"
45690Now, what do you think?
45690Of course, it may be a duck, but may it not be a beaver?"
45690Shall we move, or shall we stop here one more night?"
45690Suppose I had started from the ranch to trap beaver, and had come down here without any traps, what would you have thought of me?"
45690Suppose my hand had been a heavy log and that it had fallen across the body of a mink, would n''t it have killed him?"
45690That seems to me about the nicest trip one could make without going off far; what do you say to it?"
45690That would mean, I suppose, weighing three or four hundred pounds, would n''t it?"
45690They do n''t imagine that we are going to leave a good safe place like this and start off over the prairie, do they?"
45690They''ll think that they''re right in it, wo n''t they; that they''re real old trappers?"
45690We are learning a great deal in these last two or three days, are we not, Henry?"
45690What are you going to do?"
45690What did you see, Hugh?"
45690What do they call it?"
45690What do you know yourself about these people?
45690What do you think?"
45690What do you think?"
45690What is a mastodon?"
45690What is that swimming?
45690What was it?"
45690What was it?"
45690What''s become of them all?"
45690What''s that you''ve got-- a piece of antelope meat and a lion?"
45690When Hugh had finished his pipe Jack said,"What shall we do this afternoon, Hugh?
45690When he got back to camp, Hugh said to him,"Do you know, son, that last antelope you killed is pretty nearly gone?
45690When they were in the saddle, Jack said to Hugh,"Did you see anything of my buck?"
45690Where did you learn?"
45690Where do you suppose you could take Jack this summer so as to give him a good time?
45690Where do you think it is?"
45690Where is your father?"
45690Where were you on the road when it began to snow?"
45690Why will you not come, Mr. Johnson, and teach me while Jack teaches my boy?"
45690Wo n''t it be, or did you ever eat beaver when you were with the Blackfeet?"
45690Would n''t mink go into a trap baited with beaver meat?"
45690You have seen elephants, have n''t you?"
45690You mean bighorns?"
45690You say all they know about him is that they found his bones?"
45690You see that little knoll over there on the prairie?
45690and a thousand or fifteen hundred miles north and south?"
45690asked Jack,"or are they different?"
45690said Jack;"real horns, you mean, growing out of the head like an antelope''s horns or a cow''s horns?"
8607Ah, dear nurse, where did you get them? 8607 And are there many woods near it?"
8607And did the hunter take her home? 8607 And do they pursue the graceful deer?
8607And has it a funny face and ears too, nurse?
8607And is the rice good to eat, nurse?
8607And what are creeks, nurse?
8607And what became of this nice fellow, nurse?
8607And what do the beavers make dams with, nurse?
8607And where is Coburg, nurse? 8607 Are there any beavers in England, nurse?"
8607Are there any other kinds of snakes in Canada, nurse,asked Lady Mary,"besides the garter- snake?"
8607Are there many kinds of maple- trees, that sugar can be made from, nurse?
8607Are there many sorts of wild fruits fit to eat, nurse, in this country? 8607 Are there no more flowers in bloom now, nurse?"
8607But what is this odd- looking, black thing here? 8607 But you did not eat our parents too?"
8607Can otters swim, nurse?
8607Can squirrels swim like otters and beavers, nurse? 8607 Can the moon make rainbows at night?"
8607Dear nurse, why does my little squirrel tremble and look so unhappy? 8607 Did you ever hear of any little boy or girl having been carried off by a wolf or bear?"
8607Did you kill them?
8607Did you notice, Lady Mary, how the dormice held their food?
8607Do people see the birds flying away together, nurse?
8607Do the beavers sleep in the winter time, nurse?
8607Do the hunters follow them?
8607Do you know any other pretty flowers, nurse?
8607Do you think it was a rattle snake, nurse?
8607Does it prick one''s finger like a thistle?
8607Does the Canadian robin come into the house in winter, and pick up the crumbs, as the dear little redbreasts do at home?
8607Have you ever seen their nests, nurse?
8607How could the bear have got into the stack of wheat, nurse?
8607How does it make that whirring noise, nurse, just like the humming of a top?
8607How long will the winter last, nurse?
8607I did not think, nurse, that wild strawberries could have been so fine as these; may I taste them?
8607I suppose, nurse, when they awake, they are glad to eat some of the food they have laid up in their granaries?
8607I suppose,said Lady Mary,"these lights are the same that the peasants of Northern England and Ireland call the Merry Dancers?"
8607I think, sometimes, I ought not to keep my dear squirrel in a cage-- shall I let him go?
8607I wonder where you were brought up?
8607I wonder who taught the Indians how to make maple- sugar?
8607If you please, nurse, will you tell me what these dark shining seeds are?
8607Is it a book, my lady?
8607Is the racoon a pretty- creature like my squirrel?
8607Mrs. Frazer, are you very busy just now?
8607My book is only a fable, then, nurse? 8607 Now, nurse, will you tell me some more about Jacob Snow- storm and the otters?"
8607Nurse, can people eat musk- rats?
8607Nurse, did you ever see a tame beaver?
8607Nurse, do not beavers, and otters, and musk rats feel cold while living in the water; and do they not get wet?
8607Nurse, do you know the names of these pretty starry flowers on this little branch, that look so light and pretty?
8607Nurse, how can beavers cut down trees; they have neither axes nor saws?
8607Nurse, how can they see to eat in the dark?
8607Nurse, if you please, will you tell me what this little animal is designed to represent?
8607Nurse, is there real rice growing in the Rice Lake? 8607 Nurse, please can you tell me anything about fawns?
8607Nurse, please will you tell me something about tortoises and porcupines?
8607Nurse, what is the name of that pretty creature you have in your hand? 8607 Nurse, when you see any of these curious flowers, will you show them to me?"
8607Nurse, where did you get these nice strawberries?
8607Nurse, will you be so kind as to ask Campbell to get a pretty cage for my squirrel? 8607 Nurse, will you tell me something about birds''nests, and what they make them of?"
8607Nurse,said Lady Mary,"did you ever hear of any one having been eaten by a wolf or bear?"
8607Of what use is the dam, nurse?
8607Oh, what was it, nurse? 8607 Please tell me what a stoup is, nurse?"
8607Please, Mrs. Frazer, will you tell me which flowers will be first in bloom?
8607Please, nurse, tell me of what colours real porcupine quills are?
8607Stop, nurse, and tell me why they are called black and white; are the flowers black and white?
8607That is curious,said the child,"Does God sow the seeds in the new ground?"
8607That must be very useful; but if the sap is sweet, how can it be made into such sour stuff as vinegar?
8607This embroidered knife sheath is large enough for a hunting knife,said Lady Mary,"a''_ couteau de chasse_,''--is it not?"
8607What are Pagans, nurse?
8607What are wigwams?
8607What became of them, nurse?
8607What colour are the Canadian robins, nurse?
8607What colour was it, my dear?
8607What do you mean by the fall, nurse?
8607What do you want more, my dear children,said their mother,"than you enjoy here?
8607What is migrating, nurse? 8607 What shall we do for supper to- night?"
8607What was that for, nurse? 8607 Which is the nearest way to the mill?"
8607Who calls them all to build their winter houses?
8607You do not think it was cruel, nurse, to kill the snake?
8607*****"Nurse, I am glad Silvy went away with Nimble; are not you?
8607*****"Nurse,"said Lady Mary,"how do you like the story?"
8607And now, have you anything more to say about birds and flowers?
8607Are there as many bears and wolves now in those places?"
8607Are there many squirrels in this part of Canada?"
8607Are there not moss, dried grass, and roots beneath, to make a soft bed for you to lie upon?
8607Are they pretty creatures, and can they be tamed; or are they fierce, wild little things?"
8607But why would biting out the eye prevent the grain from growing?"
8607Can you tell me what birds they were?"
8607Can you tell us where we shall find them?"
8607Did you ever know any one who was eaten by a wolf?"
8607Did you ever see a tame fawn, nurse?"
8607Do the black squirrels sleep in the winter as well as the flying squirrels and chitmunks?"
8607Do you see that red squirrel yonder, climbing the hemlock- tree?
8607Do you want me to do anything for you?"
8607Have you heard of any other sufferers; or do people sometimes escape from these monsters?"
8607His name is GOLD-- Mr. Gold, are you here to- night or are you sleeping in your iron chest?
8607How do you think the Indian women carry their infants when they go on a long journey?
8607I am so glad-- are not you?"
8607I daresay it thought them very pretty; or was it smelling them?
8607I have seen acorns at home in dear England and Scotland, and I have eaten the hickory- nuts here; but what is beech- mast?
8607I should like to have a tame otter to play with, and run after me; but do you think he would eat my squirrel?
8607I wish there were maples in the garden, and I would make sugar, molasses, wine, and vinegar; and what else would I do with my maple- tree?"
8607If they come to a lake or river, can they cross it?"
8607If you please, will you tell me something about it, and why it is called by such a curious name?"
8607Is it a dried fish?
8607Is it a large city like Montreal or Quebec?"
8607Is it a little beaver?"
8607Is it the same as emigrating?"
8607Is it''Little Red Riding Hood,''or''Old Mother Hubbard,''or''Jack the Giant- killer?''"
8607It would have killed me, if it had bitten me, would it not, nurse?"
8607Lady Mary was much interested in the account of the little girl and her pets"Is this all you know about fawns, nurse?"
8607Nurse, please tell me what are sleigh- robes made of?"
8607Nurse, what is a fawn?"
8607Oh, Miss Campbell, what shall we do?"
8607Please, will you tell me all that you know about them?"
8607Then Lady Mary brought a print and showed it to her nurse, saying,--"Nurse, is the porcupine like this picture?"
8607Was not that good, nurse?"
8607Was not the Major naughty to say so?"
8607Were you ever in the green forest, nurse?
8607Were you ever there?"
8607What do you think it was, nurse?"
8607What do you think the beaver had done?
8607What is it?"
8607What was it doing-- looking at the honey- suckles?
8607Where do otters live?"
8607Why did they not carry it at once to their nests?"
8607Why do n''t you come out, Mr. Gold?
8607Why does he not lie down and sleep on the nice soft bed you have made for him in his little chamber?
8607You know, Lady Mary, that the blackbird and thrush build nests, and plaster them in this way?"
8607[ Illustration: THE INDIAN HUNTER]"Please, Mrs. Frazer, will you tell me what sort of trees hemlocks are?
8607and do not the boughs drop down a plentiful store of brown ripe acorns?
8607can you tell me?"
8607did you find real hare- bells, such as grow on the bonny Highland hills among the heather?
8607do bears eat raspberries?"
8607said the child, after she had tired herself with looking at the prints,"a long, long time-- a great many weeks?--a great many months?"
8607what can it be?"
36678''You ca n''t come that, old man,''I repeated;''I could tell you in the streets of Jerusalem in the night; what are you about, old feller? 36678 ''You do n''t say so, though, do you?''
36678Ai n''t goin''to bleed to death?
36678Ai n''t that la'', Squire Longbow?
36678And did n''t know nothin'', ha?
36678And do n''t the plaintiff know more about his rights than all the witnesses in the world?
36678And how, in all created airth, would you punish such a person for perjury? 36678 And so they really built a dam?"
36678And so you do n''t use the old''Franklin''stove any more?
36678And that large farm you live on, Mrs. Brown, is_ the_ spot you first settled? 36678 And was n''t old Sally Beadle, Charity Beadle''s grandmother?"
36678And what then?
36678Any turkeys or chickens?
36678Any- thing- wrong? 36678 Any_ what_?"
36678Anything else?
36678Anything, Seth, about Filkins''character?
36678Are they good pay?
36678Are you well, Aunt Sonora, to- day?
36678Beaver here?
36678But have you heard_ Beadle say_ anything about Filkins''character?
36678But let us know what this city is called?
36678But what did she say about_ Philista Filkins_?
36678But what have children to do with a principle of law?
36678But what have you heard her say about Philista Filkins?
36678But what supports it?
36678But what?
36678But you got through all safe?
36678Can it be possible?
36678Can you secure them?
36678Cook_ eggs_?
36678Did he catch that feller who ow''d him and run''d away?
36678Did n''t old Zeb Flummer marry old Sally Beadle?
36678Did she roll and tumble much?
36678Did she say she warn''t no better than she ought to be?
36678Did she? 36678 Do n''t eat grass, do they?"
36678Do n''t you never have the blues, and get sorter obstrep''rous?
36678Do they eat up men and women?
36678Do you think they will come back again, Venison?
36678Does Whistle& Sharp live hereabouts?
36678Ever been in state- prison?
36678Ever heard Beadle say anything about Filkins?

36678Now do n''t you think-- and have n''t you_ said_, that Turtle was a jackass for pushin''on this suit?
36678Now what do you''spose I know about Filkins''character? 36678 Now, feller citizens, what''s the reason you hain''t got any more money?

36678Squire Longbow,said Ike,"arn''t it rather on- parliamentary to be speaking when you hain''t got no secretary to take things down?"
36678Stranger,said Ike,"travelled long in these ere parts?"
36678The man says''what of it?'' 36678 To turn a_ what_?"
36678Turtle,exclaimed Swipes, at last, breaking the solitude--"is that man goin''to die?"
36678Very likely,said I;"but is Puddleford law all made for widows, babies, and residents?"
36678Wal,''bout that,said Strickett-- our applicant called his name Izabel Strickett--"''bout that, why, it''s where the battle was fit, warn''t it?"
36678Warn''t I sworn, or was''t you? 36678 Was n''t old Zeb Flummer your grandfather?"
36678Washes? 36678 Well, Venison,"said I,"how long have you been around in these parts?"

36678( What physician ever did?)
36678("Was anybody killed?"
36678--sittin''up with the defendant_ nights_ a- courtin''her, and then wants to know what of it?
36678A''n''t that true, Luke Smith?"
36678Ai n''t there enough to eat, and drink, and wear, growing nat''ral in the woods?
36678All his wants were supplied, and what did he care about the possessions of his neighbors?
36678And Jim said--""When-- in thunder--_was_ it?"
36678And to whom will the posterity of Puddleford be more indebted?
36678Any more questions, ladies and gentlemen?"
36678Any more questions?
36678Any more questions?"
36678Any- thing- wrong?"
36678Are not the extremes equally ridiculous?
36678Ay, whose?
36678Because the Jesuits did not till the earth, and sow, and reap, and swell the commerce of the world: but did n''t they sow?
36678Bird?"
36678Brown?"
36678But do you know, reader, that Longbow, and Turtle, and I do not know how many more, trace their blood directly back to the Pilgrims?
36678But the treble-- what shall I say of_ it_?
36678But what has all this to do with Puddleford?
36678But where was Venison?
36678But who killed her?

36678He would like jist to know what a company would be good for, on a field- er battle, that could n''t turn an angle?
36678He would"jest like to know how they could carry around a salt- water animal on land?"
36678Higgins, with an affected pleasantry, asked Turtle"how long it was since he run''d away from the State of New York, for debt?"

36678How is it in a new country?
36678How is it that these little singing harps live on amid such dreary scenes?

36678How was it, how is it made up?
36678How, in all created natur, do you s''pose a woman can get dinner?

36678Mrs. Bird asked the Squire what the lions ate?
36678Of what force a labored pulpit disquisition?
36678Of what importance is a nice theological distinction with them?
36678Old Gulick''s boy broke that are glass just out of sheer dev''ltry, and you s''pose this ere school_ de_-strict is a- goin''to pay for''t?
36678One generation rides over another, like waves over waves, and"no such miserable interrogatory,"as Where has it gone?
36678Order being restored, Mrs. Bird wanted to know why the lion"had n''t got any_ har_?"
36678Puddleford does, and fails to do, a great many things, just like the"rest of mankind,"and yet who knows and cares anything about Puddleford?
36678Puddleford fame, say you?
36678Seth''s fees were paid him, at last, and the question was again put, if he heard"Beadle say anything else?"

36678When she became composed, Ike inquired if"she knew Charity Beadle?"
36678When?

36678Where do they live?
36678Where does the merchant creditor find his western customer of last year?
36678Where is the spot where her footsteps are not imprinted, her cheering voice heard?

36678Wife and children-- how many?
36678Will the gentleman show the bill for the benefit of all?
36678Would n''t he be a pretty man to try this case?"
36678You do n''t expect_ ue_ will carry home a_ tree_, do you?"
36678_ I_ talk about it myself, and"( the same man rose again, and ask''d Wiggins if he would"vote agin licker?"
36678_ Who_ died?
36678_ who''s_ the widow?

36678exclaimed Turtle;"how do they catch''em, then?"
36678exclaimed the Squire,"the_ rattles_--what is that?"

36678is put; but What did it do?--What has it left behind?
36678or How did it go?
36678repeated Strickett--"Spain?
36678said Bates, turning the subject of conversation,"do you ever hunt?"
36678she exclaimed involuntarily to those around her, starting back, as she saw the bars of a cage in the distance,--"are them bars iron?"
36678what are they?"
36678what can he do?
36678what does he know?
36678what in the name of massy sakes are you about?
36678what is he?
36678what is_ sni_-ping?"
36678where is it?"
36678where?"

23372A trip to the plains requires more than powder and shot,said the store- keeper;"where will you be goin''to get a horse an''cart?
23372After all,thought he, while engaged in this half- cannibalistic deed,"what''s the difference between raw grouse and raw oyster?"
23372Am I sure that our little child loves tobacco?

23372And did your first sowing turn out well?
23372And she_ does_ it-- sometimes?
23372And the pirates-- what did_ they_ think o''the new weapon?
23372And would not every man in Rud Ruver justify me for firing first in self- defence?
23372And you expect me to believe all that nonsense?
23372And you understand how to re- load?
23372Anything wrong, Antoine?
23372Are you game to fight, if you get the chance?
23372Are you guilty, Tuncan?
23372Are you ill?
23372Are you sure of that?
23372Are you sure, Oke?
23372Are you sure?
23372Are you sure?
23372Because, do n''t you see, foolish girl, that it will take you away from me? 23372 But are you sure they will follow your advice?"
23372But it_ is_ lies, is n''t it, Duncan?
23372But what about your people?
23372But what became of your mother?
23372But what if they attack us before night comes on?
23372But where is Dan?
23372But why? 23372 But, I say, Francois, why are you not out with the rest?"
23372By the way,said Archie,"when you two have settled that knotty point, will you tell me who is to take the news of Dan''s accident to Mrs Davidson?
23372Can I do anything for ye, dearie?
23372Can Slowfoot not guess?
23372D''ee hear that, Little Bill? 23372 D''ye think so?
23372D''you know, Fred, I''ve had a suspicion for some time past that you had a leaning in that direction?
23372Did he say that was his reason?
23372Did it ever come off?
23372Did n''t you say you would trust me?
23372Did they ever want to help it?
23372Did you ever hear of a McKay objectin''to a fecht, Antoine?
23372Did you mend that shot- bag last night?
23372Did you see anything?
23372Did your father teach it you, or did you crib it from a copy- book?
23372Do n''t you see the clump that''s nearest to you-- right foment your nose?
23372Do n''t you think so, Miss Jessie?
23372Do n''t you think that breakfast on one of these islets would be nice?
23372Do you know anything about this?
23372Do you know if Cloudbrow went with them?
23372Do you know why he is going to serve him for nothing?
23372Do you mean to say, Jenkins, that you never got on a horse till you came to Red River?
23372Do you remember John Bourke?
23372Do you see nothin'', Taniel?
23372Do you think, Peg, that the robber that was forgiven wass a-- a murderer?
23372Do you?
23372Does Kateegoose know who fired that shot?
23372Does it always smoke?
23372Does it look like trusting me to refuse the very first order I give you? 23372 Does it not seem, Dan, as if all the troubles we have gone through were a dark dream-- as if there never had been any reality in them?"
23372Does my Slowfoot expect me to like work too, and to_ do_ it?
23372Does she never wish for it?
23372Does the knife belong to Cloudbrow?
23372Elspie, my shild,said old Duncan, in a tone of stern remonstrance,"when wass it that you began to tell lies?"
23372Give us shelter?
23372Goot- mornin'', Tan; what hev you got there? 23372 Had we not better, then, return at once to the Settlement, and tell what we have seen?"
23372Have they found out anything more about the murder of that poor fellow Perrin?
23372Have you caught any?
23372Have you got the tea unpacked?
23372Have you heard that Kateegoose is dead?
23372Have you heard the report, then?
23372Have you heard,said Dechamp, willing to change the subject,"there is some talk that Perrin has been killed?
23372Have you spoken to Duncan on the subject?
23372He could not go very well after them on foot-- could he?
23372Here we are, father: what can we do?
23372Hev ye not tried it yet?
23372Hev ye seen her, Duncan?
23372How can I tell what iss the reason that people tell lies?
23372How can you tell him what you do n''t know?
23372How could I prevent him?
23372How d''ye know that? 23372 How do you know he iss so sure?"
23372How does he begin to do us good?
23372How know you that he was there?
23372How much is left?
23372How should I know?
23372How was it?
23372How''s that? 23372 How?--what mean you?"
23372I know that,returned the husband, setting down his mug and resuming his pipe,"but why?"
23372I say, Oke,demanded the lad, with what was meant for an overwhelming frown,"do you mean to hint that I_ have_ any fear of the Indians?"
23372I suppose we''ve got nothin''for breakfast?
23372I wo n''t,returned Archie with a laugh;"but what was the upshot of it all?"
23372I wonder why he came?
23372If Daniel had not thought of it,said the invalid, quite gravely,"do you think that the Lord would hev sent the machine to you?"
23372In Prairie Cottage?
23372In course not, lad: one at a time: no ramming; hit the butt on the saddle; blaze away; one down, another come on-- eh?
23372Is he too ill to walk?
23372Is n''t Elise Morel a miss to you? 23372 Is n''t it?"
23372Is the old lady alive yet?
23372Is your brother- in- law- to- be, Duncan McKay, coming to join us this spring?
23372Is your horse in the stable?
23372Iss it carryin''him you will be taalkin''of?
23372Iss it for fightin''ye are?
23372Iss it objectin''to a fecht you will mean?
23372Iss it sparin''us you will be talkin''of, Cuthbert Grant?
23372Iss it to the land ye are going?
23372Iss that the way they teach ye to shoot at sea?
23372Iss-- iss he tead?
23372It looks like dirty weather,said Jenkins on entering;"will you let us come to an anchor here for a bit?"
23372It seems not a bad preparation for war, anyhow,said Dan;"and what after that?"
23372It_ is_ Billie,said Jessie, reflecting her mother''s anxiety;"what can have brought them back so soon?"
23372Killed? 23372 Let it go, boy?"
23372Little Bill,said Archie, in a low voice, such as one might use when anxious not to alarm game,"can you do what you''re bid_ at once_ and_ exactly_?"
23372May I go with you?
23372No-- how did he die?
23372Now look here, Dan, you know me: will you trust me?
23372Now, Fergus, what''s the best thing to be done?
23372O no,replied the girl, sheltering herself under another laugh;"and what did he say to that?"
23372Of course, it would have been pleesanter if he had been a regular munister, whatever; but, as you say, my boy,` what of that?'' 23372 Quite enough,"assented the other;"shall we make for Willow Point now, Little Bill?"
23372Shall we never meet again on earth? 23372 So we''re lost, are we, Archie?"
23372So, you call returning a loan paying your debts?
23372Surely the water must be boiling now, daddy?
23372Surely you will not be wantin''more powder an''shot efter the supply I gave you last week?
23372That shriek? 23372 That you, Francois La Certe?"
23372That? 23372 Then I''m not to tell him whether you want to marry him?"
23372Then he has just left you?
23372This will do-- won''t it?
23372Was it a long swim?
23372Was it not clear,he thought,"that Perrin intended to murder me?
23372Was you ever in love, Elise?
23372Was you ever in love, Little Bill?
23372Was-- was your mother killed?
23372Wass I to think you would be stoppin''in the lame camp till you died? 23372 We''re in no hurry, you see, Little Bill; you have n''t looked at the shore, I hope?"
23372Well, Fred, how are you? 23372 Well, an''iss not wealth a goot thing, Muster Sutherland?"
23372Well, but, I mean that you''re not going to tell me, so that I might tell him?
23372Well, it''s not easy to explain all at once; but-- but I want to know if you want to be married?
23372Well, what do you want?
23372Well, what iss it?
23372Well,he said, quietly,"what about the knife?"
23372Well?
23372Well?
23372What a strange question, Billie,she said;"why do you ask?"
23372What are they firing at, Kateegoose?
23372What can I say, Elspie?
23372What cheer? 23372 What d''ye mean by` Waugh,''Oke?"
23372What do you mean?
23372What do you see, Fergus?
23372What does Okematan think?
23372What does Slowfoot know?
23372What does she remonstrate about?
23372What have you been doing?
23372What in all the world iss that?
23372What in all the world iss the use of ceevilisation if it will not make people happy? 23372 What is it, Elspie?"
23372What is that white thing in the bow of the first canoe?
23372What is that?
23372What is the meaning of revenge?
23372What is the use of it? 23372 What iss it that I see?
23372What iss it that has come over me?
23372What iss it you will be wantin''_ now_?
23372What iss it you will be wantin''now?
23372What iss that you say? 23372 What iss that you say?"
23372What iss that you will be sayin''about troubled dreams?
23372What may be the circumstance that has caused your mind to go about- ship just now?
23372What of that?
23372What right have I to suppose anything? 23372 What stories, Billie?"
23372What troubles you, Jenkins?
23372What was I saying, Slowfoot?
23372What was it made yourself want to come out, lad?
23372What would happen,he asked,"if everybody in the world did as you do?"
23372What you call it?
23372What!--on a horse?
23372What''s wrong with you, Francois?
23372What''s wrong, Jenkins?
23372What, then, do you advise?
23372What? 23372 What?"
23372What_ shall_ we do?
23372When do you start?
23372When that which is said of one is false, one can afford to smile, but when it is true what can one say? 23372 Where go you?"
23372Where is Kateegoose?
23372Where is our child?
23372Who are you? 23372 Who is it?"
23372Who is this nice little girl?
23372Who iss that singing? 23372 Who would have thought this of Okematan?"
23372Who''s that away to the right, ridin''like a madman after a calf?
23372Who''s to look after Little Bill, I should like to know, if I leave him?
23372Who-- where?
23372Whose only child are you speaking about, Mrs Davidson?
23372Why did you let him come?
23372Why did you not come on with your father?
23372Why do you laugh so?
23372Why do you like it?
23372Why not?
23372Why should_ I_ like to have it?
23372Why you not like him?
23372Why, what''s the matter, Archie?
23372Why?
23372Will it soon be ready?
23372Will you ride alone?
23372Will you tell me the precise way in which good girls stir their stumps?
23372Wo n''t you eat-- or drink-- something, daddy dear?
23372Would you like to have it-- my wife bade me inquire?
23372Yes, is n''t it?
23372Yes-- what is it?
23372Yet you tell me,continued Little Bill,"that you have not the courage to ask a nice little girl to marry you?"
23372You have a horse to sell-- they say?
23372You hear the reports that have just been brought in?
23372You see, Billie, you never wanted to get spliced, did you?
23372You''ll not object to return with us, I suppose?
23372You-- married!--to whom?
23372You-- you hear much better now, Old Peg?
23372` Where are ye goin''now?'' 23372 A few seconds put the matter at rest, for the voice of the Highlander was heard, as they cautiously drew near, saying--Iss it_ you_?"
23372And how does he begin to do us good?"
23372And when you have killed and got all the pleasure there is, what does it come to?
23372And who knows but the report of the buffalo being so near may be false?
23372And, surely, you can not suppose that Duncan killed Perrin with his own hand?
23372Archie Sinclair?"
23372Are they all villains because one among them turns out to be bad?"
23372Are you ready to start?"
23372Are''ee goin''to sail alongside o''me this bout?"
23372As to frost-- have we not hatchets, and are there not dead trees in the forest?
23372But could we not manage to have both weddings on the same day?"
23372But do n''t you think, Taniel, that it would be as well to putt off till our munister arrives?
23372But how did you come to recollect it all so well, Little Bill?"
23372But how do you come to be so sure?"
23372But supposin'', for the sake of argument, that all does_ not_ go well-- what then?"
23372But what are these among three children and a wife?
23372But what could courage do against such overwhelming odds?
23372But what o''that?
23372But what will you be sayin''to what Taniel and myself has seen with our two eyes?"
23372But, I say, where shall I steer to now?
23372Can he not continoo to speak when I hev done?"
23372Can it be wondered at that, in the circumstances, our unfortunate hero became almost insane?
23372Could Little Bill push it, think ye?
23372Could they not spare a horse and cart to him on hire?
23372D''ee understand what I''m saying, Oke?"
23372D''ee understand?"
23372D''ye know the town?''
23372D''you know what that is?"
23372D''you understand?"
23372Dan, hev ye not a pit pemmican handy?"
23372Did he spend the night in conversation with the buffalo-- or in the company of his departed forefathers?"
23372Did you meet any of the poor people on the way out, Dan?"
23372Did you see him do it?"
23372Didna''this robber say that he was sufferin''for his sins justly?
23372Do n''t you feel a longing, sometimes, for the roar of the gale and the smell o''the salt sea?"
23372Do n''t you?"
23372Do you not?"
23372Do you think he will take the whole of it?"
23372Even when he tried to take aim at them their general aspect suggested that they were asking, mentally,"What next?"
23372Had this horrible creature discerned, by some occult knowledge, that the sands in his glass were running low?
23372Has no wan gone for him yet?"
23372Has the traitor ventured to return?"
23372Have the Redskins got hold o''me at last?"
23372Have we come far?"
23372Have you any idea who fired it, La Certe?"
23372Have you been running?"
23372He does not know that you have rendered his wife and children miserable, and does not care; therefore, I ask, why are you pleased?
23372He heard that you are hard up just now, and that you are going up the river a considerable distance to hunt-- is not that so?"
23372How much are you goin''to pay?"
23372How will you be expectin''to meet the new one?"
23372I say, Mistress La Certe, how long is that lobscouse-- or whatever you call it,--goin''to be in cookin''?"
23372If he knew anything about the murder, would he not have been certain to have told us long ago?
23372If not, why so quick to grip his gun?
23372If this is the way he begins, in what way will he continue, and,"--here his voice deepened to a whisper--"_how will he end_?"
23372If you happened to want to marry a nice little gal, what would you do?"
23372Instantly the sound of the paddles ceased as Archie Sinclair, looking over his shoulder, said--"Did you hear that, Oke?"
23372Is it not strange, my Slowfoot?"
23372Is it true that we are to be attacked?"
23372Is n''t it generous of him?"
23372Is n''t that funny?
23372Is n''t that somethin''like them on the top o''the far bluff yonder?
23372Is n''t that the order o''battle?"
23372Is she with your party?"
23372Is that a man on the ground over there?"
23372Is yours in the stable?"
23372Iss it a surprise you will be givin''me?"
23372Iss not that so, Okematan?
23372It ai n''t broke, is it?"
23372It would be very natural-- wouldn''t it?"
23372Jenkins, did you hear that?"
23372Kind o''ways puzzled, d''ee see?"
23372La Certe pondered for some time, and then asked--"Does my Slowfoot still like_ work_?"
23372Let me see, what was I sayin''of?"
23372May I tell him to come in and bring it with him?"
23372Moreover, what is to become o''Little Bill when we are fechtin''?
23372Now, do you understand all that, Elise?
23372Oke, are you overcome already?"
23372On the other hand, if the man with two hundred a year spends one hundred and fifty, gives away twenty, and lays by thirty every year, is he not rich?"
23372Shall I look for her while you gallop on?"
23372Shall we fight and keep our prisoners?"
23372Shall we go to Willow Point and shoot ducks and geese, or cross the lake and trawl for fish?"
23372Shall we start without you?"
23372That''s strange, is n''t it?"
23372That, surely, meant that he deserved what he was getting, an''how is it possible to deserve both condemnation an''forgiveness at the same time?
23372Then I said,` You told me that your land was too small to hold you; why did you not go and live on these mountains, and fish and shoot and be happy?''
23372Then, turning, as from a painful subject, he asked--"Does our little one never smoke now?"
23372Tuncan also iss a little better just now, so what say you to have the weddin''the month after next?
23372Wass it not more likely that some wan would find you an''bring you in-- as they did?"
23372What ails you at Mr Sutherland?"
23372What course does the Cree chief advise?"
23372What d''ee mean by it, Bill?
23372What do you mean, Antoine?"
23372What do you mean?"
23372What does he think?"
23372What has Slowfoot got to do with it?
23372What have you got there in the kettle?"
23372What is it all about?"
23372What is it to be?
23372What is it?"
23372What is this that I have heard?
23372What iss it you will be wantin''?
23372What man is?
23372What of that?
23372What say you, Okematan?"
23372What say you, Taniel?"
23372What say''ee, lad?"
23372What the end is to be, who can tell?"
23372What then?
23372What then?
23372What would they do?"
23372What''s that brown stuff they put into it, does any one know?"
23372What''s that?"
23372What''s wrong?
23372What, then, was he doing, my Slowfoot?"
23372What, then, was to be done?
23372When d''ee trip your anchor?-- I mean, when do ye start?"
23372When iss it you will be wantin''to call me your father?"
23372When will you start?"
23372Where am I?
23372Where away now?"
23372Where did you leave the other boys?"
23372Where heard ye that?"
23372Where is Duncan?
23372Where is Duncan?"
23372Where is brother Archie?"
23372Where is my baccy- bag?"
23372Who else will go?"
23372Whom shall we invite?"
23372Why are you so lazy, Francois?"
23372Why compel us to bind you?
23372Why did you not speak to Fergus instead of to me?"
23372Why do you ask?"
23372Why do you ask?"
23372Why do you shake your head?"
23372Why does Cloudbrow deny that it is his?
23372Why should Conscience have spoken thus, or at all, if his motive had been innocent?
23372Why, what are you grinning at?"
23372Will you go with me?"
23372Will you?"
23372Would the white father lend his canoe to him?
23372Would you have me keep him from the fun just because I ca n''t go?
23372Would you like to be lifted over that, and so keep your moccasins dry?"
23372Yes; but did ever two shoes have the same mends in the same places of the netting, where it had been broken, and the same marks on the frames?"
23372Yet I''m so fond o''that little gal that I''d strike my colours to_ her_ without firin''a single shot--""Does Elise want to marry_ you_?"
23372You understand?"
23372Your father is quite willing, and Dan wishing for the day-- what more could you desire, Elspie?"
23372_ That_ would indeed be a shame, would n''t it?"
23372an''you will be returnin''the cart an''payin''for the horse when the hunt is over, I suppose?"
23372and Elspie, and Jessie Davidson?"
23372and under whose authority do you act?"
23372before you was born?
23372cried Billie in desperation;"how can I ease off, with only a few yards o''the line left?"
23372echoed Dan Davidson:"who will go back with me?"
23372exclaimed Duncan,"where did you get hold o''my knife?"
23372exclaimed La Certe in surprise;"where did you find it?"
23372exclaimed La Certe, rising slowly to welcome his friend;"you seem in hurry?"
23372exclaimed Little Bill,"surely you never heard of any one taking fat in tea, did you?"
23372he asked-- for he was of an inquiring disposition--"a bum- rella?"
23372how can you tell thumpers like that?"
23372interrupted the other,"what will ye be wantin''wi''that?"
23372is that the same woman that''s keeping house for him now in Red River?"
23372not a single word?"
23372old woman, where are ye?"
23372replied Archie;"why, man, where are you?
23372said Elspie, turning pale,"and-- and do you believe it?"
23372said the girl, when her father had retired,"how came they to invent such lies about you?"
23372she exclaimed-- almost screamed-- while Fergus was assisting her to mount Vixen,"where is she?"
23372surely Slowfoot has not taken to being unkind to you?"
23372was that another?"
23372what cheer?"
23372where are these boys?"
23372why was I born?
23372why?"
23372will you not be coming with me?"
23372you''ve heard of it, then?"
30093And Ruth? 30093 And did you see Curtis''colour bearer?
30093And not be a lawyer at all?
30093And now,_ Mon Pere_, must I tell? 30093 And now?
30093And then?
30093And then?
30093And this man, this bishop, is going to send you away somewhere, to school?
30093And you heard?
30093Are any men killed?
30093Are you the White Horse Chaplain?
30093Are you--?
30093But I would n''t for anything,the woman called nervously after her,"have her think that-- And what''ll I do with this?"
30093But how can he? 30093 But the people,"said Ruth,"ca n''t you get them all to join and agree to sell at a fair price?
30093But what is it?
30093But what''s he carrying?
30093But what''s the use?
30093But where''s she gone? 30093 But why could n''t she have told the truth?"
30093But you''ll come home with mother to- morrow, wo n''t you? 30093 But,"he went on slowly,"if I''d agiven you a message that day you''d have taken it on for me, would n''t you?"
30093But,objected Ruth, trying to draw him out,"if Jeffrey Whiting should come back before then?"
30093Can that be_ truth_, at last? 30093 Did anybody see Rogers in that crowd?"
30093Did he start home by this trail?
30093Did he take his gun from you and start immediately?
30093Did it make any difference? 30093 Did you examine it?"
30093Did you hear a shot fired?
30093Did you hear two shots fired?
30093Did you hear two shots?
30093Did you meet Jeffrey Whiting on the afternoon of August nineteenth?
30093Did you need to be told that, Jeffrey?
30093Did you see Jeffrey Whiting in the Village last night?
30093Did you see Jeffrey Whiting''s gun?
30093Did you see Rogers in the morning?
30093Did you tell him that Rogers was in the hills?
30093Do n''t you think so? 30093 Do we do wisely, men?"
30093Do you know what an option is?
30093Do you remember? 30093 Do you swear it?"
30093Do you swear to try and see that she gets a chance?
30093Do you think that words can go down into my soul to find the man that was once there? 30093 Does it hurt?"
30093Eh? 30093 For me?"
30093For you? 30093 Had it been fired off?"
30093Have they actually started to build the railroad?
30093Have you any rope?
30093He had my letter?
30093He went armed?
30093How did he die? 30093 How did you know it was all right, Ruth?"
30093How do you do, Mr. LaComb? 30093 How do you know that I''ll believe you?"
30093How do you know?
30093How does it stand now?
30093How old are you?
30093How?
30093I went lookin''for him, to tell--"Answer, yes or no?
30093If I had not seen that thing I would not have come to you, for I would have said: What good? 30093 If he had left a debt, would you pay it for him, my daughter?"
30093Is it true, Lucy?
30093Is n''t it enough to know that he did manage it, without bothering about how? 30093 Is that it?
30093It was true, then?
30093It''s the queerest thing, is n''t it, Jeff,she said finally in a thoughtful, friendly way,"how two people can fight about religion?
30093It''s you, Bishop, is n''t it?
30093Jeff Whiting? 30093 May I?"
30093My life?
30093My question is: Are you the same brave man with a soldier''s brave, great heart that you were that day?
30093Oh, did you?
30093Or did he go on up country?
30093So young Whiting''s gone away, eh?
30093Suppose it had been to my mother, say: You''da risked your life to get it on to her?
30093The colt? 30093 Then God:''And is there none to cancel the debt?
30093Then where_ did_ he go? 30093 They do them-- Because_ some woman lives, or once lived!_ What do_ you_ know?
30093Truth? 30093 Use him?
30093Was that it, Lucy?
30093Was the name of Rogers mentioned by either Stocking or Whiting?
30093Well, you would n''t expect me to love them?
30093Well-- Why?
30093What business is it of yours?
30093What can we do?
30093What did Cynthe tell you?
30093What did he say to you?
30093What did they say? 30093 What did they say?"
30093What do you mean?
30093What do you want?
30093What else did you say?
30093What good does it do? 30093 What have I been doing?"
30093What is it?
30093What were they saying?
30093What''s it all good for?
30093What''s the tarnation hurry, young lady?
30093What?
30093When did men ever do anything for_ words_? 30093 Where are you going?"
30093Where are you going?
30093Where could you get the strength for all this? 30093 Where is Brom Bones?"
30093Where is she?
30093Which is Rafe Gadbeau?
30093Whiting''s gun had been fired?
30093Why do n''t you come see, if you want to know?
30093Why for you want to know him?
30093Why, Jeffrey,said Ruth in surprise,"what do you know about the Church?"
30093Why, what does it mean? 30093 Why, what''s the matter, girl?
30093Why, where did you come from? 30093 Would the people make their way down the river,"the Bishop asked;"or did they escape back into the higher hills?"
30093Would you be so kind, then, as to tell this committee,he temporised,"just why you wished to arouse this opposition to the railroad?"
30093Yes?
30093You don''dance? 30093 You have been at school?"
30093You have some education?
30093You mean you and your-- neighbour, Ruth Lansing?
30093You saw him die?
30093You were all alone, child?
30093You were there, close? 30093 You were with Jeffrey Whiting on the afternoon when word was brought to him that suspicious men had been seen in the hills?"
30093You''re with Ruth Lansing a lot, are n''t you?
30093You?
30093You?
30093Your father, you know, he always wanted me to take care of you, did n''t he?
30093''What is it,_ mon Rafe_?''
30093''What to do,_ mon Rafe_?''
30093A tall, dark boy, Jay Hamilton, with long, black hair?"
30093A_ coward_, do you remember that word?"
30093After a little he asked timidly:"What are you going to do, Ruth?
30093Afterwards?
30093Am I a meddling priest?
30093And I have come here to ask you: Are you the same brave man with a heart that I saw on that day?
30093And do you, somewhere, understand now?
30093And had she blinded him with her pity?
30093And if it had hurt nobody, then-- then why all this--?
30093And if they did, what did they say to Him?
30093And if we silence these two now forever, how shall we be ever able to find the others?"
30093And since his conviction or acquittal must hinge on that single question, what room was there to hope for his acquittal?
30093And what was death-- And why?
30093And what was there to be feared?
30093And what was wrong with her that she could not understand?
30093And when shall justice conquer?
30093And where does right prevail?
30093And_ why?_ And still they came with that set, borrowed phrase-- the only thing they could think to say-- upon their lips.
30093Are there not others?
30093Are they blind?"
30093Are we to understand that there is opposition in your county to the proposed grant?"
30093Are you afraid to let her have what you want for yourself?
30093Are you afraid?"
30093Are you that same man?
30093As they drove up beside the group in the yard, one of the men shouted:"Say, is there any place we can put in here?
30093Because they were afraid?
30093But are they true?
30093But are you afraid to let her have her chance in the sun?
30093But did he_ confess_--about Rogers?"
30093But do they do them for the words?
30093But how?
30093But if the question came to her of a sudden, without warning, without time for thought?
30093But shall a man lie down in hell before he is dead?
30093But shall only these two be punished?
30093But the Judge rapped warningly and the attorney yelled:"Yes or no?"
30093But then, what man does ever let another man see what is in his heart?
30093But was there not a certain ignominy in being trapped here as the dumb and senseless brute creatures were being trapped?
30093But what better would she be if I lived?
30093But what of her?
30093But what was the use?
30093But who could tell?
30093But why do that in the hills?
30093But why should he?
30093But would it be enough?
30093But, Jeffrey, you remember what you said that day in the Bishop''s house at Alden?"
30093By how much?
30093Can we make Bald Mountain before daylight?"
30093Can you see?
30093Can you tell me what time it begins?"
30093Can you, will you tell them?"
30093Could it be that she had brushed aside his story because she really did not believe it and could not listen to it without betraying her doubt?
30093Could it be that she had over- acted it all?
30093Could she pass that point before the fire came?
30093Did he expect to see the light fade out, to see the face wither under the bitter revelation?
30093Did it make any difference with you?
30093Did n''t the poor little thing look sorry and troubled enough without fetching her down here to bring it all up to her?
30093Did people who were sick, and people who said God had answered their prayers and punished their enemies for them; did they find God?
30093Did the preachers find Him?
30093Did the priests find Him?
30093Did they find Him when they prayed?
30093Did they find Him when they were in trouble?
30093Did they have the same effect as if Jeffrey Whiting had obtained actual options on the property?
30093Did they laugh and talk and scold each other, like people?
30093Did those promises bind the people to him?
30093Did you ask somebody then?
30093Did you hear what he said to me, about you?"
30093Did you, deep down, somewhere beneath words and beneath thoughts, did you, did you really understand-- a little?
30093Did you, standing there with the facts fresh before you, conclude that Jeffrey Whiting had fired the shot which killed Rogers?"
30093Do you remember that night you were in the sugar cabin?
30093Do you remember?"
30093Do you think men do things for words?
30093Do you think that if I had not with my eyes seen that thing I would have come near you at all?
30093Do you think that words can call him up?
30093Do you think you can put me off with defences and puling arguments of necessity, or policy, or the sacredness of property?
30093Do you understand me?"
30093Does he care for the opinions or the words that are said here?
30093Does it make any difference?
30093Does it matter to them or to this committee that I wear the badge of a service that they do not understand?
30093Does justice conquer?
30093Does justice conquer?
30093Does right prevail?
30093Does right prevail?
30093Down underneath, when you understood, which was the truth?
30093Even if they did come out safe to the villages, what would they do there?
30093Ever thought of such a thing?
30093Find God?
30093Find God?
30093For what?
30093Guilty?
30093Had a miracle saved him from the fire?
30093Had he dropped from Heaven?
30093Had it hurt Jeffrey Whiting, himself?
30093Had it hurt Rafe Gadbeau?
30093Had it hurt the man, Samuel Rogers?
30093Had some one spoken?
30093Had they not lied, after all?
30093Have I no right to speak God''s name to you, because we do not believe all the same things?
30093Have you heard anything on the wire?"
30093Have you mothers?
30093Have you sweethearts?
30093Have you wives?
30093He looks up to God and cries:_ Seigneur Dieu_, whither go I?
30093He must have meant something?
30093He rapped sharply with his gavel, and when the Bishop stopped, he asked:"Is the murder of Samuel Rogers mentioned in that paper?"
30093He said quickly:"You were with Rafe Gadbeau at his death?"
30093He stood with his eyes fixed unseeing upon the floor, asking: Whom?
30093He swept the group with a sharp, a praising eye, and asked:"Who''s the one to talk to here?"
30093He_ confessed_?"
30093How can we say?
30093How could they always be so sure?
30093How dare we say what we would have done, when we did n''t do it?
30093How dare you come here to tell me the little bit of it you saw?"
30093How did he know that he would ever have done so?
30093How did it all come out?"
30093How did men go about to find God?
30093How did the Bishop himself find God?
30093How do we know what''s really in our hearts?
30093How had he come to be in the hills?
30093How had she ever said such a thing?
30093How is your fight going on?
30093How much did he mean?
30093How shall we find and punish those other greater ones?
30093How should a bishop die?
30093How was it that they could carry with them all day long that air of never being tired or fretted or worried?
30093How?
30093How?"
30093I couldn''t--""He did n''t say nothing, except in confession?"
30093I never struck you this way before, did I?
30093I think I should like to--""Were you at Fort Fisher?"
30093I think that''s what you want to ask me, is n''t it, Lansing?"
30093If the whole world stood here accusing you would we know it any the better?
30093Is it far?"
30093Is that the truth, Lucy?
30093Is that what you mean?
30093Is there not one in all that world who loved you?
30093Is there truth that lives deep down, and did you, who were made of truth, did you somehow understand all the time?"
30093Keep her here and let her marry some fightin''lumber jack that''d beat her?
30093Looking past the Bishop and addressing Dardis, he said:"Is this testimony pertinent?"
30093M''m''selle, what you mean?
30093Mother in Heaven, she prayed in agony, must I do that?
30093No?
30093No?
30093No?"
30093No?"
30093Not so?
30093Oh, why,_ why_ had she not brought a rifle?
30093Oh,_ why_ had she not brought a rifle?
30093Or did they just pray all the time?
30093Or did they see wonderful, starry visions of God and Heaven that they were always talking about?
30093Or had he merely ceased hoping and turned sullen and dumb?
30093Or see her break her heart tryin''to make a livin''on one of these rock hills?
30093Or was it a sound?
30093Or was it the words?
30093Please, Ruth,"he said, suddenly softening,"you wo n''t let it change you?
30093Provocation?
30093She could not know anything, and why did they want to pester the poor thing?
30093She wondered whether he would turn and wave to her; or had he forgotten that she would surely be standing where he had left her?
30093Should I have left them where they were?
30093So Cynthe went on:"If you wanted to know why did n''t you come up all Winter and see?
30093Some better than law school, eh?"
30093Still, what did it matter?
30093Suppose he had killed the man?
30093The White Horse Chaplain, do you remember him, Jeffrey?"
30093The attorney went on:"Did you hear a shot?"
30093The road from here there, is it open, do you know?"
30093The thing I did-- which men would call fine?
30093The thing that had seen through him, had looked down into his heart, had measured him; was this the thing that was bigger than he?
30093Then Whiting had actually been obtaining what were really options to himself, while pretending to hold the people back in their own interest?
30093Then he asked suddenly,"What brought your mind to this view of the matter?"
30093Then he flashed the question upon her:"What did Rafe Gadbeau say when he was dying?"
30093Then he said:"You''ll never blame me, Ruth, girl, will you?
30093Then he was asked:"What did you say when you came up and saw the dead man?"
30093Then what would Joseph Winthrop do?
30093VIII SEIGNEUR DIEU, WHITHER GO I?
30093Was God to be found here on the hills, in the night, in the open?
30093Was he breaking down?
30093Was he going to stay there all night?
30093Was it just because they were always contented and happy?
30093Was it the fine thing that was really the truth, and did you, do you, know it, after all?
30093Was it worth the lies?
30093Was n''t all the world continually on the lookout for God, and who ever found Him?
30093Was that God?
30093Was that what they had meant that day there in the court, she and the Bishop?
30093Was there some word, some key, some hidden portal by which men found God?
30093Was this the thing bigger than he was?
30093Was this what it meant?
30093Well,_ whom_ had he injured?
30093Well-- Why not?
30093Were they going to rush at last?
30093Were you, then, so wicked that none loved you who will pay the debt?''
30093What about her?"
30093What about it?
30093What could have happened?
30093What could he do?
30093What could she do?
30093What could she do?
30093What did she care for that wicked man who had died yelling out that he was a murderer?
30093What did the Bishop mean?
30093What did they bring her here for?
30093What did they do in there?
30093What did they have to be happy about?
30093What did this coming mean?
30093What do you know?
30093What do you know?
30093What does he think I''m likely to do?"
30093What does she want?"
30093What good would religion be if it did not go ahead of us in life and show us the way?"
30093What had Jeffrey to fear?
30093What had she seen?
30093What right had this man, what right had any man to face him with it?
30093What room was there in the mind of any one for doubt as to the actual facts of the killing?
30093What then?
30093What use to go over the record?
30093What use to go over the things that he had done, the things that he had advised?
30093What was I thinking?
30093What was he going to say?
30093What was in my heart?
30093What was it all worth?
30093What was it?
30093What was it?
30093What was that the Bishop had said when he had asked for truth that day on the railroad line?
30093What was that thing written so clear in his eyes that she could read and tell him of it that day on the road from French Village?
30093What was the light that shone in their faces?
30093What was the use?
30093What was there in there behind those doors that never banged?
30093What was there in there that made the sisters all so very much alike?
30093What was there to say?
30093What was you calc''latin''to do with him, Miss?"
30093What wonderful presence was there behind the doors of that cloistered house that seemed to come out with them and stay with them all the time?
30093What would I do with her?
30093What would that girl do?
30093What you know?"
30093What''s the matter with you?"
30093What_ could_ you know?
30093When they were half way down the trail Jeffrey spoke suddenly:"Say, Ruth, what''s the use trying to save these people?
30093Where could he go?
30093Where could he turn?
30093Where is truth?
30093Where was the load that had lain upon him all these weary hours?
30093Where was the use to struggle against an enemy they could not see and who could not be hurt by anything they might do?
30093Where was the use?
30093Who can punish you?
30093Who could tell?
30093Who could tell?
30093Who said he''d gone away?"
30093Who struck?
30093Who was it that said she must not speak?
30093Who was to tell?
30093Who would not be?
30093Whom did you injure?"
30093Whom had he injured?
30093Whom, then?
30093Why anything?
30093Why could they not leave Daddy Tom to her?
30093Why did I go with them when they went to set the fire?
30093Why did n''t you come see?"
30093Why did n''t you come up when she was nursing the dirty French babies through the black diphtheria, when their own mothers were afraid of them?
30093Why did she go?"
30093Why did they come?
30093Why does that have to come into everything?
30093Why dream?
30093Why fight?
30093Why had they not struck?
30093Why is it?"
30093Why must she?
30093Why say more?
30093Why should he have said this to her?
30093Why should he interfere?
30093Why should he not answer?
30093Why should she guard a secret that was no good to him or to any one now?
30093Why should she keep a secret of his?
30093Why should she not?
30093Why should the girl have gone away?
30093Why was I with those men?
30093Why work?
30093Why?
30093Why?
30093Why?
30093Why?
30093Why?
30093Why?
30093Why?
30093Why?
30093Why?"
30093Will you always be able to lie?
30093Will you be afraid to stand in the court and tell these people, who do not matter at all?
30093Will you say a prayer, Ruth?"
30093Will you tell me what to say to you, Ruth?"
30093Will you?
30093Will you?"
30093Would fifty?
30093Would he come back to the world?
30093Would he confess?
30093Would he never come out?
30093Would he not have told you to tell and clear the other man?"
30093Would he speak those nine words?
30093Would it not have been better to have warned some of the men that were associated with him in his fight?
30093Would n''t that be all right?"
30093Would one man come?
30093Would ten?
30093Would that girl be strong enough to deny, to deny and to keep on denying?
30093Would the people stand by their promises?
30093You got hurt, you?"
30093You his wife?
30093You wo n''t let it make any difference, with us, I mean?"
30093You''ll say just what you said to the Shepherd of the North; remember?"
30093_ Can_ I do that?
30093_ Who_ had been hurt by his thought, his wish, to kill a man?
30093_ Why?_ Who had ordered this?
30093_ Why?_ Who had ordered this?
30093he said, after some verbal beating about the bush;"how is she?"
63160Ai n''t it nice, Archie?
63160Ai n''t you and McClure goin'', Brad?
63160Boys, what has become of Scip? 63160 But, husband, what will become of us?
63160Come, mother,said Harry,"we''re raving hungry: ai n''t you going to give us any supper?"
63160Did Mr. Holdness, or McClure, or Mr. Honeywood, know you were going?
63160Did ever anybody in this world see such children?
63160Did he say where the Black Rifle was?
63160Did you ever see a house made of brick?
63160Did you put sand in your clay, just as we do when we make mortar?
63160Dinna ye ken wha hae became o''my bairn?
63160Does it take him a good while to make a pot?
63160Doing what?
63160Doing? 63160 Hab dey killed Massa Blanchard and all de rest but you?"
63160Has the mill been going this morning?
63160How are you, old stand- by?
63160How did you cut that vine so true, Sam?
63160How did you get''em out?
63160How did you know about that tree, Scip?
63160How did you know it?
63160How did you know this?
63160How high and wide and long shall we make it?
63160How many of them?
63160How''d you know''twas hollow?
63160I,said Honeywood,"would inquire, in the first place, who is to command this force it is proposed to raise?"
63160If there''s so little difference, why ai n''t the unglazed just about as good?
63160Is n''t he a noble- looking man?
63160Is n''t he handsome, beautiful? 63160 Is n''t it a good way?"
63160Is that so?
63160It did n''t soak through faster than you could eat it, did it?
63160It is n''t play,said Sammy, straightening him self up:"what makes you call it play?
63160Mother, may I ask Uncle Seth to come to supper? 63160 Mr. Holdness, did n''t you like Tony?"
63160Mr. Honeywood, how did you know so much about Indians? 63160 Mr. Seth, you know my mother''s got an earthen milk- pan, and Mrs. Holdness has got two: where did they come from?"
63160Neighbors,said McClure, seating himself upon a bag of meal, with his rifle across his knees,"have you heard the news?"
63160Not after he made such efforts to save you and the children''s lives?
63160Right? 63160 Sam, what does ail that child?"
63160Sammy, do n''t you feel well?
63160Sammy, have you got your rifle with you?
63160So you''ve made a wheel for yourselves, have you?
63160Then they wo n''t kill, scalp, nor roast him alive?
63160Then what made ours leak so fast?
63160Was n''t the moulds the Lord made good enough for you to work from?
63160Was that all?
63160Well, well, what''s in the wind now?
63160Were there cracks in it?
63160What are you going to do to it next?
63160What de matter wid my leetle Sammy?
63160What do Indians want a white boy for?
63160What do you say, Brad?
63160What do you want to be a duck for?
63160What else did Dick say?
63160What else did you do to it?
63160What is a brave man, what ai n''t a coward?
63160What kind of moulds do the potters in the settlements have to make their things of?
63160What made it do so?
63160What made you put your large wheel flat on the floor? 63160 What made you throw all those punkins, squashes, and gourds away, my son, after you had taken so much pains to boil and scrape the inside out?"
63160What makes you sit there so still, then?
63160What matter will it be,said Archie,"if we let the fire be at night, and then kindle it up in the morning?
63160What shall I do for water?
63160What shall I say to him?
63160What were those Indians about there?
63160What will you do with us?
63160What''s a better way to do?
63160What''s a sea, and what''s a vessel?
63160What''s that?
63160What''s the matter, Sammy?
63160What''s the reason?
63160When did you see my husband last? 63160 Where can we bake it?"
63160Where have you been all this time?
63160Where should we get news, who are a hundred miles from anywhere, and cut off from all the rest of mankind?
63160Where''s my father?
63160Where''s our Harry?
63160Who else can it be? 63160 Who is to command it?
63160Who made''em?
63160Who sent you here?
63160Why could n''t I put it in Mr. Cuthbert''s hominy- block that is right here before the door, and pound it same as we used to the corn? 63160 Why do n''t you coax Uncle Seth to make one?
63160Why, Sammy Sumerford, where have you been this livelong day?
63160Will you let us take our cattle and mules and goods and arms?
63160Wo n''t dey come back?
63160Yes, and the dogs are coming too: wo n''t it be nice to have''em all?
63160Yes; and we made it our own selves, did n''t we?
63160You find any thing? 63160 You hunting after a bear''s den, or a coon- hole?"
63160You wo n''t tell Tony''s father nor our Harry that we are here, will you, Mr. Holdness? 63160 Ai n''t I brave?
63160Alarmed, he said,--"Mother, what are you doing up there?"
63160Blanchard?"
63160Blanchard?"
63160But did you truly make the letters, and the leaves on there, your own self?"
63160Ca n''t he, Sammy?"
63160Did ever anybody see or hear tell of such a boy?
63160Did n''t he shut himself up in the mill when the Indians attacked the fort, scared to death?
63160Did n''t they set us to hold the fort, and stand watch?
63160Did n''t you hear me blow the horn?
63160Did n''t you see him smile when the baby stood up and held on to his leggings?
63160Did n''t you see that the inside was of a different color from the outside, and there was something smooth and shiny all over it?
63160Do n''t you know how fast your mother''s spindle on her large wheel whirls?"
63160Do n''t you see how he carries that left arm: that was broke by an Indian bullet?"
63160Do n''t you see that cow has got her foot in the pail?
63160Does the red man give to his friend that which he values not, and set before him that he would not eat himself?"
63160Has he lost his way?
63160Have n''t you come in a good time?
63160Have you been throwing water on this baby?"
63160He made it for them because he loved them, that they might amuse themselves; but how could he love boys that were so cruel?
63160Honeywood said,"Who is there?"
63160How can anybody die,''cept they''re killed or drownded?
63160How did you get out of the fort?"
63160How did you make your bowls and platters the other day?
63160I wonder how many Indians''twould take to kill twenty- eight men like us?"
63160If you wanted to work with your clay, why did n''t you tell''em that was the reason you did n''t want to go to- day?
63160In the course of fifteen minutes they asked,--"Is n''t it trod enough, Uncle Seth?"
63160Is he hungry?
63160Is he not our brother?
63160Is he tired?
63160Is it not sae, Jean Stewart?"
63160Is it not so?"
63160Is that yourself?"
63160It is truly a great thing I have asked of the Delawares; but is any thing too good for a friend?
63160Marm, there''s both pots: now which do you think is the best shape?
63160Mr. Holdness nor McClure would n''t go in there in the night, sooner''n they''d jump into the fire: do n''t you call them brave men?"
63160Notwithstanding all your advantages, is it not probable, that, turn you right out in the world, you would either beg or starve?
63160Raymond.--Where are the children, wife?"
63160Sam Sumerford, what have you been doing?
63160Sammy soon returned with the cards, when his mother said,--"Had you rather be down here alone, than at play with the boys?"
63160Should not a Delaware be just?
63160The boys went off; and Mrs. Sumerford said,"Sam, what made you so short with the boys?
63160The boys were exceedingly proud of their workmanship, and often exclaimed,--"Is n''t it nice?
63160The last basketful had been placed on the sled; and Honeywood took up his goad to start the oxen, when Mrs. Sumerford exclaimed,"Who''s that?
63160What could you find to do there without any dinner, and all alone?"
63160What did you have to make''em by?"
63160What do you suppose is the reason?"
63160What in the world can you be thinking of?
63160What is brick?"
63160What satisfaction could there be in turning that wheel upside down, and sticking a turnip on the spindle?"
63160What will the Indians do to him, Mr. Holdness?
63160What''ll my mother say?
63160What''s the reason milk nor nothing else wo n''t go through mother''s pan?"
63160When will the Delawares come?"
63160Where should he get boards to make a bench?
63160Who is it says that?
63160Who told you you might go?"
63160Will my brothers allow the woman to speak to them?"
63160Will you?"
63160Wo n''t you, ma''am?"
63160Would n''t Tony Stewart like to be here?"
63160You wo n''t be behind the loop- holes down there in the woods.--What do you think of it, Harry?"
63160and did n''t his own brother Israel say it was the first time he ever knew a fort saved by a coward?"
63160and did n''t we kill a lot of Indians?
63160and how came you to be separated from him?"
63160and how did you learn to talk Indian?"
63160are you out of your senses?
63160asked Sammy;"or do they make''em in holes in the ground or on a basket?"
63160cried Sammy:"you''ve got flour now; and wo n''t you make some berry- pies, and a pigeon- pie with crust, for me,''cause I''m wounded and ca n''t go?
63160did you come to see me work?"
63160exclaimed Harry,"what sent you here right into the thickest of the fire?"
63160how can you bend such a great piece of wood?"
63160how much you do know, do n''t you?"
63160said the mother, after Sammy had gone to bed,"that he should set out all at once in such a fury to make things of clay?"
63160shouted Sammy,"only look at baby''s bear coming to see us fish: is n''t he good?
63160was he frightened''cause his mother left him?
63160what shall I do with the child?"
63160why did n''t you set it on the legs?"
63160will they kill him?"
63160you there, my little potter?
46794A warning to the white settlers?
46794Aim, do you say, brother? 46794 And perhaps we might have to take to a tree, just as I did two years ago, waiting for dawn to drive the critters away; eh, Bob?"
46794And the others also?
46794And without saying good- bye to any of us? 46794 Are there any more of them?"
46794Are they retreating, brother?
46794Are we getting closer, Bob? 46794 Are we making any progress at all?"
46794But I am a prisoner here, and these Indians may mean to put me to death?
46794But about the warning? 46794 But did you think you heard some one call?"
46794But how about the Indians, Pat?
46794But how comes it that we found you in such a queer scrape, Pat?
46794But look here, Blue Jacket, what about Bob?
46794But suppose the tree caught fire, and burned,said Sandy, in bewilderment;"how could we save ourselves then?"
46794But the deer,continued Sandy, persistently;"why not try for it?
46794But they have other canoes, for I saw three at least?
46794But we can share the honor, Sandy; for if you had not kept running round and round as you did, how else could I have shot him?
46794But what do you think happened?
46794But what does it say, Pat?
46794But what is that you are carrying, Sandy?
46794But what of Bob?
46794But what shall we do?
46794But which way?
46794But why did you shout? 46794 But why do you keep looking up at the sky so much?"
46794Daviess, Hardin, Harlan and the young man, Simon Kenton( Note 6), of whom Boone seems to be so fond, will they also remain in our company that long?
46794Did we get anything?
46794Did you hear it, too?
46794Do we have to take the chances of crossing that swollen stream?
46794Do you ever forget anything?
46794Do you mean that you have been with my brother since the fire?
46794Do you mean to tell us that the bear fired your gun at you?
46794Do you suppose he is alone?
46794Do you suppose we are anywhere on a line with the island?
46794Do you think he means to jump for the boat? 46794 Have you given these foolish lads permission to keep this varmint alive when he''s better off if dispatched?"
46794How can I ever thank you, boys, for what you have done?
46794How long will it be before dawn comes?
46794How many more bullets have you in your pouch?
46794How will it hold?
46794I wonder if I could manage to get away from here, in case I got my hands free?
46794I wonder if they will pursue us?
46794I wonder when the folks will be along?
46794I wonder where he can be?
46794Is he going to die?
46794Is he near the border of the village, Blue Jacket?
46794Is it you, Blue Jacket?
46794Is that all? 46794 Is that true, O''Mara?"
46794Lose him, Pat?
46794Must you go now, Colonel Boone?
46794Not a white man, surely?
46794Now I get it,cried Sandy,"and, Bob, listen, what can that roaring sound mean?
46794Ready? 46794 Ready?"
46794Shall we go in and try to sleep?
46794Shall we stake the canoe out here in the rushes?
46794So we are to beware of the river''s rising wrath, are we? 46794 So, you are zere, too, it seems?"
46794So, zat ees the vay ze vind blows? 46794 Tell us, what did they dare say to you?"
46794The ridskin gone, is it, me byes?
46794Then Bob came along with you?
46794Then have you found a bear''s den, or perhaps a wolf''s whelps?
46794Then what can we do? 46794 Then you are with me?"
46794Then you do not mean to give up looking for game?
46794Then you know our father?
46794There, how does that look?
46794They are coming here then, those brave souls from Carolina, who head toward the setting sun?
46794Well, what of that?
46794What ails you, Bob?
46794What are you thinking about, Bob?
46794What can have happened to him, Bob?
46794What can you mean? 46794 What did you think you heard?"
46794What do you mean to do?
46794What do you think is the matter, Bob? 46794 What does all this foolishness mean?"
46794What else can it mean? 46794 What is it, Bob?"
46794What is it,--Indians?
46794What is it? 46794 What is this, Bob, Sandy?"
46794What ought we do first?
46794What shall we do now?
46794What would you?
46794What?
46794When did you promise Bob to save me? 46794 Where do you think all this water is coming from?"
46794Where?
46794Which way?
46794Who could have been so cowardly and cruel?
46794Who knows?
46794Who may you be, and how did it happen that we found you among the tree- tops at the head of this island?
46794Why should we?
46794Why, Kate, my child, what has happened? 46794 Why, what shall I do?"
46794Would it do to climb high up in a tree?
46794Yes, but when time passes, and I fail to come, he may get impatient and do something that will get him into trouble?
46794Yes,returned Bob, with a little laugh,"it is our old friend, Pat O''Mara, without a doubt; but what can he have stumbled into now?
46794You do n''t think that ugly Anthony Brady did it? 46794 Am I to never see my people again-- dear old Bob, Kate, father, and my mother?
46794And did n''t dear old Bob say the bread we cast upon the waters might return ere many days?
46794And if so be this foine lad chooses to coddle yees back to loife agin, phat business is it av ours?
46794And if the fire rushed down upon him before this discovery could be made, what then?
46794And if the very worst comes--""Yes, what then, Bob?"
46794And look at this figure standing here; what do you make of him?"
46794And notice how he swings his long tail back and forth?
46794And now, I wonder where Bob is?"
46794And what can that be tied to it, Bob?"
46794Are they disposed to be friendly; or would we have to fight whenever we ran across them?"
46794Are we near the river, and is that a rapids of any sort?"
46794Bid Blue Jacket mean that they should make their escape by water?
46794Blue Jacket, is it you?"
46794Blue Jacket, was he not a warrior now, and as such fully competent to decide for himself?
46794But how about the deer, brother?"
46794But we were furious, and would not give in; would we, Bob?"
46794But what has he got to do with the rains?"
46794But what was this?
46794But what would you haf me do?
46794But why had he not answered his shouts?
46794But why have I not heard his signal call?
46794But you think, then, Bob will bide his time patiently, and wait to hear from you?"
46794But, if you expect to stay right here, why should I not lie down and sleep under this tree, as well as in there?"
46794CHAPTER III CAUGHT IN THE SNOW- STORM"WHAT makes it so dark, Bob?"
46794CHAPTER VIII THE PERILS OF THE WILDERNESS"DID you see that, Bob?"
46794CHAPTER XIII BLUE JACKET"How will this place do?"
46794CHAPTER XX THE COUNCIL FIRE"WHO calls me?"
46794CHAPTER XXII THE ESCAPE"WHEN can we go, Blue Jacket?"
46794Can the Indians be about, and have they frightened all the deer and buffalo away?"
46794Can the enemy be coming down on us now?"
46794Can you go any faster, Sandy?"
46794Could anything have happened that the girl was coming home at this unusual hour; for the cabin where she had been employed was half a mile away?
46794Could he dig his toes into the smooth walls with enough vigor to sustain his weight?
46794Could the animal clear it, if he decided to jump?
46794Could they manage to make land before the boat filled and sank under them?
46794Did he not know only too well the self- sacrificing devotion of Bob?
46794Did not we hear their father, Abner Hodgkins, say almost the same thing just three days ago, when we passed him at the door of the alehouse?"
46794Did that mean they would let him live if he gave in, and allowed himself to be made a prisoner?
46794Did the Indians have dogs?
46794Did you ever hear of such ingratitude?"
46794Did you ever know him to be so happy?
46794Did you ever see a face like that?
46794Did you ever see such a thick mass?
46794Do we learn this in the Good Book?
46794Do you believe you can make a happy home here?"
46794Do you know, I think I heard a wolf howl a little while ago?"
46794Do you think they will try to climb over here?"
46794Do you think we can manage it, Bob?
46794Does she not constantly say that in God''s good time all must be made clear?
46794Had he seen the folly of further resistance, and thrown himself over the side, welcoming the fate that seemed so certain?
46794Had his rough eloquence reached the hearts of those sons of the wilderness?
46794Had not Bob told him to stay where he was until he came?
46794Have they discovered us after all?"
46794Have we not heard that all signs fail in dry weather?
46794Have you got any of the white man''s writing to give me?"
46794His gun-- could he not do something with the broad shoulder butt to urge the canoe around?
46794How about that, Sandy?"
46794How do we know but what we may be close to a village, since no one has ever come this way before?"
46794I do not think we want to get any closer to the gentleman, do you, Sandy?"
46794If Bob had escaped both the peril of the fire and that of the Indians, would he discover what had happened to his brother and carry the news home?
46794Is it not so?"
46794Is it not written that we bind up the hurts of our enemies, and thus cover their heads with ashes of reproach?
46794Is it possible then he meant to stick that arrow in our roof rather than any other?"
46794Is that not the signal agreed upon with the sentinels out in the timber?
46794Is the trail any fresher than before?
46794Is there any one wounded near here?"
46794It ees quite varm, but perhaps not yet so varm as it may be, eh?"
46794Just think how mother would smile if she saw us carrying home a nice fat buck, or even a doe?
46794Meanwhile, what of Bob, who took his life in his hand, content to feel assured that at the worst Sandy would be saved?
46794Must they carry on this bitter struggle only to be overwhelmed by superior numbers in the end?
46794Notice how often that old bull throws up his head and sniffs the air?
46794Of what use was his forest training if he could not ascertain whether Sandy had issued from the tree before, or after, the fire?
46794Perhaps he may take a message to his people from us, and be the means of bringing about a lasting truce-- who knows?
46794Phat if the bear was so clost till yer heels that ye had to shin up anything at all?"
46794Sandy Armstrong, say you?
46794Sandy made an involuntary dive for his gun, as he ejaculated:"What did you hear?
46794See his sleek gray sides?
46794Shall we land here, and climb up?"
46794Shall you tell father, and have him spread the news?"
46794Surely you could not imagine that any one would be on this island to hear you?"
46794Tell me, Blue Jacket, did he send any message by you?
46794That rushing sound up on the wind--_does that mean the woods are on fire_?"
46794That would be terrible, would n''t it, Bob?"
46794That would take hours of time; and meanwhile what of Sandy?
46794The gloomy mysterious forest surrounded them on every side save the river, and who could say what terrible perils it concealed?
46794Then you expect that our new friend will be able to help out?"
46794To fire it would be useless, for who was there to come to his assistance?
46794Was it fated that he should be smothered here, suffocated by the pungent smoke that caught his breath, and seemed to choke him?
46794Was it not father who told us how an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure?
46794Was it the whoop of an Indian?
46794Was it wise for him to wander off in this manner, without a definite plan?
46794Was it worth while to call out again?
46794Was it worth while trying again to mount upward?
46794Was there anything he could do to help?
46794Were any of them injured?
46794Were the Indians about to descend upon them?
46794What can I do?"
46794What can it be?"
46794What do you suppose we can do if he fails, Bob?"
46794What do you think of my choice?
46794What had happened to Bob?
46794What have you found, Sandy?
46794What if he did, and upset us out here?
46794What if he was caught in the open?
46794What if it were one of our dear lads, in an Indian village-- would you wish him to be treated like a dog?
46794What in the world would we do, Bob?"
46794What is that?"
46794What manner of man could this be, that even the mention of his name should cause a shiver to pass through an Indian council?
46794What news did he bring?
46794What was that?
46794Where did you see him, Blue Jacket?"
46794Who can tell?"
46794Who knows but thot this may be the interin''wedge whereby we may make a treaty av pace wid the bloody Injuns?"
46794Who knows the ways of these redskins better than he?
46794Why are you here, when your duty is at the Hodgkins?"
46794Why should this stranger be so moved at sight of David Armstrong''s two boys?
46794Why, where was Bob?
46794Will I ever forget this?
46794Will I ever get this gun loaded?
46794Would he dream of changing his base in the hope of bettering his condition?
46794Would he not follow after the fire, seeking some sign of me?"
46794Would his will prevail?
46794Would morning never come?
46794Would the new country offer them as comfortable a home as this?
46794Would they ever forget that stirring night?
46794Would they proceed to kill him then and there?
46794Would you let the poor boy die, even though his skin be different from ours?
46794You remember we came into the place just before you left there, monsieur?
46794a ridskin it is ye are afther havin''here?
46794an''is it a horsepital ye''ve stharted already, Bob?"
46794could there be any greater luck?
46794cried Sandy, suddenly,"what is that over yonder?
46794demanded Sandy, confused; for how were they to know just where the unseen enemy might be hidden?
46794do you mean that you would force us to go back to captivity; and you a white man at that?
46794expostulated the other,"what could have happened?
46794he asked, eagerly,"are they coming; and must we fight in the dark?"
46794he surely could not have dragged him away to do him harm?"
46794how did I come to forget that?"
46794look yonder, brother; whatever can that be, perched up in that tree- top?
46794now, who said he fired_ at_ me?
46794remarked Sandy, remembering the caution of the trapper;"would n''t it just be awful if they caught fire?
46794was his like ever known among the young pioneers of the West?
46794what haf we here?
46794what if he did not find a place to hide?
46794what is this you mean to do?"
46794where are you?"
46794who cares?"
46794ye wud, eh?
20101About the orders? 20101 Ah?"
20101All right so far, but does Red Dog agree to dismount? 20101 And do you mean that they-- that these four, went there to Cresswell''s?
20101And have you reported action yet by wire?
20101And if you meet my boy, you''ll help him? 20101 And it''s Davies''s detail?"
20101And you have never seen your writing- case to this day?
20101And you must go back to Scott to- night, sir?
20101And you wanted to make a soldier of him?
20101And----?
20101Any news from the agency?
20101Anybody come ahead yet from Winthrop?
20101Anything else?
20101Anything you want?
20101Are ye badly hit, Jimmy?
20101Are you agreed?
20101Are you sure you''ve seen or heard nothing?
20101As to what?
20101At your urging or suggestion?
20101Burtis? 20101 But I mean you knew him before that, did you not?"
20101But what about ordering the attendant out?
20101But what do you think of-- of her?
20101But you knew Brannan, did you not?
20101But,_ dear_ Mrs. Davies, is it not very expensive?
20101By the way, major, suppose they do n''t come along, what will you do for breakfast and dinner? 20101 By what right, sir, do you assume to over- ride my authority and undo my orders?
20101Can I be of assistance?
20101Captain who?
20101Could he have been so mad, do you think, as not to have thought of that,--of some one being on that train?
20101Could you give no description of him? 20101 Davies, you remember our locking those papers in this drawer last night?"
20101Did Mr. Sanders say he''d come back here?
20101Did n''t he say what they were pow- wowing about?
20101Did n''t you see anybody with a knife?
20101Did n''t you understand me to say I wanted to hear all about his march as soon as he finished supper?
20101Did they bring you no coffee? 20101 Did you ascertain anything?"
20101Did you come in through the front hall or the back way?
20101Did you have to wake him,--Brannan?
20101Did you hear whether Mr. Sanders had succeeded in arresting the other men?
20101Do n''t you see,he urged, reproachfully,"how very much more they are around us?
20101Do you know anything about that young fellow,--ever meet him before?
20101Do you know anything about the antecedents of that new company clerk of Captain Devers?
20101Do you mean Mr. Davies is wounded?
20101Do you mean----?
20101Do you refuse to obey my orders?
20101Do you suppose they will try to rescue if we arrest him here?
20101Do you suppose they''ll permit it?
20101Do you think it possible that-- that she_ can_ be going there-- with him-- to- night? 20101 Go there with whom?"
20101Going through? 20101 Got any baccy, Jim?"
20101Had he been drinking or in any trouble?
20101Had you never heard of the investigation?
20101Have they found anything?
20101Have you ten horses that can stand a side scout?
20101He belongs here with his troop, so he''s sure to come, and then,she added, archly,"what will poor Willett do?"
20101Heard anything at all?
20101How about Burtis?
20101How are you, major?
20101How can a fellow invite a bride to occupy his one room when he do n''t own C. and G. E. enough to furnish a hen- coop?
20101How can you arrest him in front of all that array?
20101How did you get that?
20101How do you feel, Davies?
20101How is it, sir,demanded Tintop,"that in defiance of my positive orders you allow your herd to go so far away?"
20101How long had they been here, dear?
20101How much is a single berth to Chicago?
20101How was he to get hurt? 20101 I ca n''t see anybody now, can I?"
20101I did n''t fib, did I?
20101I know, sir, and may not that be some of them trying to find us?
20101I? 20101 Is he ally or prisoner of the soldiers?"
20101Is it here?--has it come?
20101Is it not late for them to take him out?
20101Is n''t Davies in yet?
20101Know anything about her? 20101 Mr. Leonard, have charges been preferred against Trooper Howard?"
20101Mrs. Cranston, what do you want to bet y''all go back to Scott inside of a week?
20101Never had any nerve, is it?
20101Now the question is, what''s to be done? 20101 Now, I like that young fellow,"said Mrs. Cranston, folding up the letter,"only I didn''t----""Well, did n''t what?"
20101Now, what on earth are they up to?
20101Preparations? 20101 Remember him?"
20101Sacrificing himself and his profession for the sake of a spoons, is it? 20101 Say, Leonard, who''s that young cit with the swell team who came to take Mrs. Davies sleighing?
20101See any Indians?
20101Sergeant,said he,"what man went through here into the sleeper when we stopped last station?"
20101Shall we turn and ride away?
20101She will be well enough to travel-- when?
20101Stopped it before? 20101 Swear to it?
20101Thank heaven, that''s over, and I have told nothing of any consequence, have I?
20101That does bring us to close quarters, does n''t it?
20101That you, Sanders?
20101That''s all well enough, sir, so far as it goes,growled Captain Canker,"but where do we come in on this campaign?
20101The degradation of-- having to-- authorize the untruth?
20101The ladies? 20101 Then you did n''t go with the purpose of seeing Brannan?"
20101There are your hunters,--two of my best men, Mr. Davies, and who but you is responsible for this?
20101They? 20101 Time she answered it?
20101To whose troop do you suppose your friend Davies has been assigned?
20101Turn and carry the order to the first sergeant at once?
20101Undoubtedly,--but where does Agatha come in?
20101Want to leave anything?
20101Was ever luck worse than this?
20101Was it Mr. Barnard''s proposition or the lawyer''s?
20101Was it the driver you spoke to at the door? 20101 Was that-- my predicament?"
20101We have food, water, ammunition, and a smart chance for more fighting,so what more could soldier ask?
20101Well what?
20101Well, Captain Cranston, what do you think of the letter?
20101Well, did you never appeal to Captain Devers?
20101Well, pardon me, which was right, the papers or the lawyer?
20101Well, then who made this trail up here on the ridge? 20101 Well, then, what does it mean-- your having told the attendant his orders were of no account?"
20101Well, then, you could tell me, could n''t you, how to get my boy there?
20101Well, you certainly went to the hospital?
20101What are we on but a side scout now?
20101What became of Paine?
20101What did he want?
20101What did the old officers say?
20101What do you think now?
20101What do you think of that as an insult to the cavalry?
20101What does he demand?
20101What good would that do? 20101 What has happened?
20101What in God''s name has kept you so long?
20101What is it, lad?
20101What is it?
20101What is it?
20101What is the meaning of this riot?
20101What should I do, captain?
20101What time did you come in to bed last night, Barnickel?
20101What took him off in such a devil of a hurry? 20101 What was it Mr. Sanders said?"
20101What were you about to ask?
20101What will he say or think when he learns the truth? 20101 What''s he doing here?"
20101What''s he want?
20101What''s his name?
20101What''s the matter ahead, anyhow?
20101What''s the matter? 20101 What''s the row, Tommy?"
20101What''s the use of it anyhow?
20101What''s up?
20101What, his mother?
20101When you parted from Devers,asked Cranston one day,"how far was he from the top of the ridge?--how far to the west?"
20101Where are the others?
20101Where are you, Sanders? 20101 Where did you learn?"
20101Where is Charging Bear?
20101Where''s Sanders? 20101 Which was n''t at all what the captain meant you should think, eh?"
20101Who is this-- who have you here?
20101Who would n''t have bet on the bay?
20101Who''s missing there, sergeant?
20101Whose work is this?
20101Why are these soldiers here?
20101Why did n''t you come or speak?
20101Why did n''t you tell me about this at the time, Brannan?
20101Why do n''t they make an earlier start?
20101Why is Thunder Hawk here?
20101Why not?
20101Why on earth could n''t this tortoise have been left to that work and old Whitey given to us?
20101Why,said he,"who''d be ass enough to be marching or drilling with trumpet calls this hour of the night and in the midst of a campaign?"
20101Will you say good- night to her for me and escort her home? 20101 Will you wait one moment?"
20101Wo n''t you have a nip?
20101Would you mind pumping for me?
20101Yes?
20101Yes?
20101You are Paine, of''A''troop, are you not?
20101You could swear to that, Davies? 20101 You dare demand the arrest of Red Dog, do you?"
20101You do n''t?
20101You know your old nurse of last summer, do n''t you?
20101You mean by- and- by when he is old enough?
20101You must have known there could n''t be, did you not?
20101You want how much for these ponies?
20101You''d rather be here than at the agency guard, I fancy, Brannan?
20101You-- went to West Point, did n''t you?
20101You-- you? 20101 _ What!_ Is n''t Davies with you?"
20101''Will you read this, and see if you know what to make of it?''
201015, Gus?"
20101All ready now?"
20101And did you see the look Miss Loomis gave him when he invited her?
20101And how had it fared with Mira and her sympathetic friends at Scott during all these weeks of toil and march and scout?
20101And now Tom Barnard owned all the tenth ward and most of the railroad, did he?
20101And now did you hear any noise,--any footsteps?"
20101And now the questions were, what will Devers do about it?
20101And then Willett implored her to try it with him, and how could she refuse?
20101And what are they,"said Captain Truman,"among so many?
20101And your mother?"
20101Are we never to know one- half year of peace?"
20101Are you ill?"
20101Are you planning already to unload me, as the captain says, on somebody else?"
20101Are you ready, Cranston?"
20101Are you sure about my being assigned to the cavalry?"
20101Are you sure you do n''t know?"
20101Barnard?"
20101But breathes there a woman who can not find excuse for shopping?
20101But if she liked him still better now that the week had wrought its changes, what could be said of his impressions?
20101But she had to talk to somebody, and what was Agatha for?
20101But that band was a host in itself, and why should women weep and mope and mourn-- with music and the dance so easily accessible?
20101But the Davieses, where were they?
20101But who can tell what a day may bring forth?
20101Ca n''t I do?"
20101Ca n''t we do this somehow without bringing on a row?"
20101Can guards or police be sent?"
20101Could they flash all that distance?
20101Could this white- faced soldier read visions and dreams and thoughts?
20101Darling and Mrs. Watson''s going together, mind you, and lunching with their friends?
20101Darling?
20101Davies, have you ever seen a map or sketch of that ground north of Antelope Springs where you had your adventure last September?"
20101Davies?"
20101Davies?"
20101Davies?"
20101Did any one try to knife you?"
20101Did he leave before or after the others?
20101Did he leave no trace?"
20101Did she reach and leave Braska on time?
20101Did you get your man?"
20101Did you see Mrs. Davies this morning?
20101Did you see or hear no one?"
20101Do n''t I know?
20101Do n''t you know he never could have sent all that way for all those roses-- just for me?"
20101Do n''t you want a sleeper?"
20101Do you know him?--Captain Cranston?"
20101Do you know this, Sanders?"
20101Do you mean village, Sanders?"
20101Does he agree to hold his people where they are?
20101Does he go to stables this morning?"
20101Does he understand that if they advance we fire?
20101Does the darn crank think that worn- out men ca n''t go to sleep without it?"
20101Dr. Burroughs wanted at the agency?
20101Ever see her picture?"
20101Evidently it was known that he was ordered to report by telegraph, yet who could have"given it away"?
20101Flight asked,--"Who was it, Katty?"
20101Flight should forget her own vows of secrecy and conclude it time to seek other advice?
20101From Sheridan down, what army officer''s statement has any weight whatever with the Indian Bureau,--when it is n''t what it wants?"
20101Had he overstepped his authority?
20101Had she ever accepted any gifts or letters or anything from Mr. Willett?
20101Had they examined the parlor and sitting- room to see if any one could have been there hidden?
20101Had you never met or known him?"
20101Has n''t anything been heard yet of Sergeant McGrath?"
20101Hastings bade the others a gruff good- evening, silently tendered Mrs. Davies his arm, and led her away with the sole remark"Are n''t we late?"
20101Have I not heard man after man say how his own knees trembled or his comrade''s cheek blanched at the whistle of the first bullets of the battle?
20101Have n''t I the evidence of my own senses,--of the steward and the attendant?
20101Have n''t you been to see him yet?
20101Have we no generous impulses in the army?"
20101Have you a spare half- hour?"
20101Have you had any talk with him about-- about what Captain Truman and Mr. Gray wrote?"
20101Have you had no supper?"
20101Have you no new waltz music for us?"
20101Have you seen Differs?"
20101Heap walk?
20101Here-- just let me out, will you?
20101How could he suspect the dread that lurked behind it,--the artfulness of her effort to escape further questioning?
20101How could he torment her with such unjust suspicions?
20101How dare he insinuate that they had led her to the forbidden shades of Cresswell''s?
20101How dare he say they were responsible for Mrs. Davies''s flirtation?
20101How dare you haul me into this?"
20101How did he come?"
20101How did it happen?"
20101How did you leave her?"
20101How far ahead are they supposed to be, captain?
20101How is he?"
20101How near are we?"
20101How old is your boy?"
20101How was that possible?
20101How''s Hooker?"
20101How''s that, Brannan?"
20101How, then, did you select him to go to town?"
20101Howard was gone before this, but there was Brannan''s writing- case in Haney''s possession, why not throw further suspicion upon him?
20101I''d have to walk both ways, do n''t you see?"
20101If Captain Devers thinks me so bad a soldier, why do n''t he let me transfer?
20101If he cared for Almira why did n''t he say so?
20101If she writes such silly, romantic trash to me, what must n''t she be saying to him?
20101Is it business that can wait until then?"
20101Is it not possible that driving home he may have spoken to her in a way she could not mistake, and that that has had much to do with her prostration?
20101Is it true?"
20101Is n''t it time Mrs. Barnard answered Agatha''s letter?"
20101Is there a doctor along?"
20101Is there anything I can do to help you?"
20101Is there anything peculiar about this Brannan?--any reason why he should be treated by his captain on a different system?"
20101It was Agatha herself who calmly asked,"And when is he to be married?"
20101It was then that Almira was sent for and became Queen Paramount, for when do mothers cease to plan for wayward sons?
20101Just going the rounds?"
20101May I ask how you heard it so soon after your arrival?"
20101May I do so, captain?"
20101Meantime how fared it with the embassy to White Wolf?
20101Mira, junior, had been devoted to society when there before, was it possible she had so soon tired of it all?
20101Mrs. Davies is better, I hope?"
20101No?
20101Nothing more, nothing else at any time?
20101Now, Canker, what is it?"
20101Oh, say, will you do me a favor?
20101Oh, why could n''t she go home to her dear old father and the sisters who loved her, and weep her heart out on her m- m- mother''s grave?
20101Oh, why had they taken Dr. Burroughs away?
20101Oh, why, why had n''t they brought her Percy here?
20101Old Riggs, lieutenant- colonel commanding the Twelfth, had remarked,"So Devers is in your battalion, is he?
20101Other men were abject enough; why should she be lorded over in this way?
20101Ought they not to air it after Sunday- school?"
20101Realizing his own narrow escape and suspecting his unpopularity in the regiment, though little dreaming( which of us does?)
20101Sanders?"
20101Say, are you ready to go back?"
20101See how well it worked?"
20101Seen anything more of your midnight antagonist?"
20101Shall I never hear from you again?"
20101She has never called on me, has she?"
20101So long as she was perfectly innocent of wrong intent how could people-- how dare people rebuke her?
20101That you?
20101The attendant should have returned at once, but----""Well, did n''t you undertake to administer brandy?"
20101The only trouble was, could they set fire to the stockade at night?
20101The regulations say the first orderly hour, do n''t they?"
20101Then it is useless to ask just now what you know of his past?"
20101Then the chaplain spoke again,--"You will write-- as soon as-- you have decided?"
20101Then, may I not call and see you later?"
20101There is no lie at my expense their interpreters would n''t tell the inspectors, and against so many witnesses what could I do?"
20101There was a moment of intense silence, a look as of awe on many a face, then came the question from one who knew not Devers:"Killed himself?"
20101They sort of had to go there, do n''t you see?"
20101They were amazed, yet what could they do or say?
20101Think you understand?"
20101Turn over there, wo n''t you?"
20101Up for all day and meditating a sermon?"
20101Was Mr. Davies aboard or-- anybody else to meet her?
20101Was all the valley already aware of this shameful flight?
20101Was he a medicine- man?
20101Was it appeal for help or lure to ambush?
20101Was n''t it the proper thing, really, for him to call and inquire for her?"
20101Was the Parson seeking solace where poor Mira always said he would?
20101Was there ever such a streak of hell''s luck as this?
20101We were there several minutes, were we not?"
20101Well, was n''t it unusual for a lady to be going alone?
20101Were n''t you with them?"
20101What I want to know is, who detailed you, and when were you detailed for hospital duty?"
20101What business had he to sigh?
20101What can I get for you?"
20101What can it possibly mean?"
20101What could it mean but that their comrades of the--th were fighting their way back to join them?
20101What did that smoke turn out to be when you got a closer look at it?"
20101What do you say now?"
20101What do you suppose will happen when he and Willett really meet?"
20101What followed?"
20101What had occurred, he asked, to make her feel renewed anxiety, to cause her to seek a cadetship for him?
20101What is the nature of the charges against prisoner Howard?"
20101What is your boy''s regiment?"
20101What is yours?"
20101What kept him, do you suppose?"
20101What kept you?"
20101What made you think of it?"
20101What might not be accomplished in that time?
20101What noises-- what sounds did you hear?"
20101What on earth can he ever have seen in her?"
20101What on earth could she want?
20101What on earth did he choose the infantry for?"
20101What recognition do you suppose Ray will ever get for that feat?
20101What regiment?"
20101What shall we do meantime?"
20101What was that to the tales of tremendous adventure in the land of the Sioux and Apache,--the home of the bear and the buffalo?
20101What will be said of our failure to get into the fight?"
20101What woman can be silent under strong provocation?
20101What woman can patiently abide the personal application of a general rule?
20101What would be her fate if I were to fail her now?
20101What''s that?"
20101What''s up?
20101When did he get here?
20101When did you get back?
20101Where are the other two?"
20101Where did you hear?"
20101Where is the packet you were asked to deliver to my wife?"
20101Where''re you going, Cullen?"
20101Where''s Elk?
20101Who but he would be sounding taps with Indians on every side?
20101Who could say?
20101Who could tell whether man or woman was left to forward word of any kind?
20101Who knows but that her story may be true, despite indications?
20101Who was the man who came in here, corporal?"
20101Who was to receive and entertain the new- comers until they were able to furnish and move into their own quarters?
20101Who''s that with Sanders?"
20101Whose knife?"
20101Why am I singled out for punishment?
20101Why did n''t you say he''d gone, instead of keeping us waiting here?"
20101Why do n''t you and Miss Loomis go over there and cheer her up sometimes?
20101Why do n''t you speak, sir?"
20101Why should he sit there sighing in that absurd fashion?
20101Why should he speak of catching anybody or anything?
20101Why, Sanders, what are you saying?
20101Why, what on earth have you been doing ever since you came up to the post?"
20101Will you kindly order a carriage?"
20101Will you kindly wait here and watch the front and this side while I beat up the rear?"
20101Will you not tell your captain and me the real cause?"
20101Will you ride with me and turn Red Dog back?"
20101Will you see that Mrs. Davies gets this before to- night?"
20101Wo n''t you lunch and dine with us to- morrow and talk over plans?
20101Would McPhail approve?
20101Would you declare that Howard did not wield the knife that slashed you-- but was meant for Lieutenant Davies?"
20101Would you go-- should I go to see her?"
20101You can haul Devers before a court, but what can we do with these women?"
20101You could never have wronged him,--what on earth has set him against you?"
20101You do n''t mean Captain Devers?"
20101You do n''t mean she-- my wife-- had been there before?"
20101You remember it distinctly-- despite your illness?"
20101You were going to tell Captain Tibbetts about that affair of last night,--that other soldier''s coming in here, were you not?"
20101You''ll be a friend to him?"
20101_ Was_ he an old friend of her''s, and_ did_ he send and beg her to come to him?"
20101and what will Davies say when he hears what Devers has done?
20101and will you not dine with us?
20101but"what has he done to benefit the party?"
20101ein offizier?"
20101heap hungry?"
20101mutters little Sanders, lunging along after his major,"why ai n''t I with my own instead of loafing here?"
20101said he,"if they left last night what could they do but take this train?"
20101so soon?"
20101when was this made?"
21368A lesson in what?
21368A night attack, eh?
21368A vein, boy? 21368 Ah, Beaver,"said Bart, as the chief came out of the corral,"why is this?"
21368Ah, we''re going to have a new town, are we, master?
21368All of you?
21368All ready?
21368All, Joses?
21368And did the Indians make a fuss over him?
21368And did you overtake them?
21368And did you, Joses?
21368And feed cattle, eh?
21368And have I not?
21368And have these men ever fought with Indians?
21368And if the Doctor has got us together to take us right out there for the sake of his own ends?
21368And if they do?
21368And now what''s going to be done? 21368 And now, please sir, when may we start-- to- night?"
21368And ruining me at last, my lads? 21368 And so you think there is no silver here, sir?"
21368And tell me when I may be allowed to mine my silver in peace?
21368And then there was the awful flash and roar, Joses?
21368And this will all be labour in vain, Joses?
21368And we should be easily seen from a distance, I suppose?
21368And what about you, Joses?
21368And where is the silver canyon?
21368And why can you see it against the sky?
21368And why not, pray?
21368And will he take me there?
21368And you know Injuns''eyes and ears are sharper than ours?
21368And you want to go back?
21368And you will go back because it is dangerous?
21368And you will go back?
21368Any other orders?
21368Are the bulls very dangerous?
21368Are there so many as you say, Joses?
21368Are they mounted?
21368Are they still there?
21368Are those bison?
21368Are we going to leave them beautiful fish the Beaver and old Speechworks here have caught and cooked?
21368Are we likely to see Mr Grizzly as well?
21368Are you a doctor?
21368Are you hurt, Joses?
21368Are you hurt, Sam?
21368Are you only going to take fifty?
21368Are you sure?
21368Are you there, Beaver?
21368But am I to ride right up to the herd, Joses?
21368But are you not hurt at all?
21368But can you see immediate danger?
21368But do you think--"Do I think he has escaped, my lad?
21368But had we not better pull up, Joses?
21368But how are we to carry it away, sir?
21368But how could they tell that this was the entrance?
21368But how did you manage to escape?
21368But if I ca n''t get away, and they shoot at me?
21368But if they found it in the morning, Bart,she said,"what then?"
21368But is there silver there?
21368But it is Juan, is it not?
21368But not our sort of sheep?
21368But the bears are gone?
21368But they gave you another chance, Joses?
21368But what people would they be, sir? 21368 But where are the Apaches?"
21368But where are the other Indians?
21368But where? 21368 But who would have dug it?"
21368But why are you sure?
21368But why not?
21368But will he find our trail over such stony ground?
21368But wolves would n''t attack the great bison, would they?
21368But would you have me turn upon them and shoot them, Joses?
21368But you expect them to come, do n''t you?
21368But you object to going forward, my men?
21368But you will lose no time, sir?
21368But you will not let them go without me, sir?
21368By running into it at every turn, eh, my boy?
21368By the bears''claws?
21368Calf?
21368Can you see any sign of Joses, sir?
21368Can you see anything, Joses?
21368Catch up to''em? 21368 Catch''em, my boy?
21368Could n''t we contrive a gallery along the face of the mountain, right along above the ravine and the stables, sir?
21368Did I tell you right about''em before,said Joses,"or did I tell you wrong, my lad?"
21368Did n''t touch you, did they, Master Bart?
21368Did the Doctor order this?
21368Did the beasts claw you?
21368Did you get the letter?
21368Did-- did I slip from the rocks, or have I been asleep?
21368Do I think the Injuns will notice it, Master Bart? 21368 Do n''t talk foolery, Joses,"cried Bart, angrily,"Do you think I''m a child?"
21368Do n''t you wish we had a nice new loaf or two, Bart?
21368Do you mean that you will lend me the pony to go after my own?
21368Do you mean that, Joses?
21368Do you see this sabre?
21368Do you think he ever will hit upon a good mine of gold or silver, Joses?
21368Do you think it is necessary, Joses?
21368Do you think it was made by men, sir?
21368Do you think that if we frightened him, he would try to get back then?
21368Do you think the Apaches will come again to- night?
21368Do you think the Indians will notice the flag, Joses?
21368Do you think they mean to continue friendly?
21368Do you think they will molest us now?
21368Do you think they will strike our trail?
21368Do you think we shall meet with any, Joses?
21368Do you think we shall see any more of the Indians, Joses?
21368Do, my lad? 21368 Does the chief know of such a place?"
21368End of what?
21368Escaped me?
21368Faraway?
21368Feel faint, Bart?
21368Find it? 21368 Fine one, Joses?"
21368For gold and silver and that sort of thing, master?
21368Frighten him back?
21368Frightened?
21368Glad?
21368Going to cut it out, master?
21368Had n''t we better leave our rifles ashore there, under the trees?
21368Has anybody brought bad news?
21368Have you ever been up?
21368Have you heard of anything?
21368Have you seen anything, then?
21368Horrible indeed, Bart; but what should you think? 21368 How about going down into the canyon to spear salmon now?"
21368How are you, chief?
21368How can you tell that?
21368How could we take her into the wilds?
21368How did they know the cattle were there?
21368How do I know? 21368 How do we know that the Injuns wo n''t come to- night to look after the men they''ve lost?
21368How do you know, Joses?
21368How far do you think we are from the camp?
21368How far is it down to the plain?
21368How is it, Joses?
21368How was it?
21368I ca n''t see nothing-- can you?
21368I know that, my brave fellow; but if they were yours, would you let them go out to graze?
21368I mean may I ride pretty close up to one without getting gored?
21368I mean what am I to do if I am in close quarters, and feel that they will kill me?
21368I say are you glad, though?
21368I say, young one, are you asleep?
21368I suppose you would not care to go upon such a rough expedition as this, Bart?
21368I''ll do the best I can, Joses, you may be sure; but suppose I should come upon an Indian party-- what am I to do?
21368I''m ready, sir; when shall I go?
21368I''m to come too, ai n''t I?
21368Injun, my lad; do n''t you see''em? 21368 Instead of being close at home, eh, lad?
21368Is he mad?
21368Is it much farther, sir?
21368Is it not enough?
21368Is it, boy? 21368 Is it, sir?"
21368Is it? 21368 Is there any danger?"
21368Is there danger?
21368It is a long way, is it not?
21368It is delicious, Joses,said Bart;"but now had we not better go back?"
21368It was my fault; and the greasers ran away?
21368Look down there, Bart,said the Doctor, rather excitedly;"what do you make of it?"
21368Lovely? 21368 Mad?
21368May we ride up to them now?
21368Mean it, my lad? 21368 Mean?
21368Miles, Joses?
21368Must I fire_ at_ them then, Joses?
21368Must I?
21368Now, Beaver,cried Joses, finishing the re- loading of his piece,"what do you say to a bold rash forward-- right to the mouth of the chimney?"
21368Now, master?
21368P''r''aps we shall stay here a week then, master?
21368Poor, Joses?
21368Safe, Joses?
21368Safe? 21368 Safer?
21368Shall I creep out to him?
21368Shall I hold his arm?
21368Shall I wake up the Doctor?
21368Shall we catch up to them again, Joses?
21368Shall we turn back?
21368Surrender? 21368 Tell me what?"
21368That means scouting, does it not?
21368That woke him up, I suppose?
21368The young chief sees the Apache dogs?
21368Then we might find metals here, sir?
21368Then what is it?
21368Then why has n''t a good puff of wind blown them off and down into the plain?
21368Then you would not surrender?
21368They would n''t have escaped you like that, would they, Beaver?
21368They''re gone, then?
21368They''ve gone on jumping down like that right to the bottom, Master Bart, and--"Is that the flock?
21368They? 21368 Think so, Master Bart?"
21368This is silver, is it not?
21368Tired, Master Bart?
21368To ride on to Lerisco, sir?
21368Trusted? 21368 Try again, sir?"
21368Turn back? 21368 Very little, sir; but perhaps Joses was right: he said he thought there must be a fire out there to make it stand out so clearly, and--""Well?
21368Walk up to them?
21368We must have meat, must n''t we? 21368 Well, Bart, what is it?"
21368Well, Joses?
21368Well, how many bufflers did you shoot?
21368Well, it does sound too horrid; do n''t it, eh? 21368 Well, my boy,"he said,"is all right?"
21368Well, what did he prescribe?
21368Well, what do you mean?
21368Well, what do you say to taking our rifles and exploring?
21368Well, what''s the difference?
21368Well, what''s to hinder''em from coming close up? 21368 Well, yes, my lad, one would think so; but do n''t you see how it is?
21368Well,said the speaker, after a long pause,"you do not speak; I say, are you afraid?"
21368What about your companions, my lad?
21368What about, master?
21368What are these coming after us?
21368What are those?
21368What are we to do?
21368What are you going to do?
21368What did I tell you? 21368 What do I mean, my boy?
21368What do you mean?
21368What do you mean?
21368What do you say to that, Beaver?
21368What do you say?
21368What do you think?
21368What does all this mean, Joses?
21368What does he say?
21368What does that mean, think you?
21368What does the Beaver mean?
21368What for? 21368 What for?"
21368What is he doing?
21368What is it, my lad?
21368What is it, sir?
21368What is it?
21368What is it?
21368What is to be done then?
21368What luck?
21368What of her?
21368What shall you do to them, Joses?
21368What should you think this place must have been?
21368What then?
21368What''s come of all them chaps, Master Bart?
21368What''s that, sir; the distance?
21368What''s the danger?
21368What''s the matter, Sam; why do n''t you come back?
21368What''s to be done, then?
21368What''s wrong?
21368What''s wrong?
21368What, buffler, my lad? 21368 What, like the place where the mountain sheep went down?"
21368What, them?
21368What, whack''em with their tails? 21368 What, you?
21368What-- what has happened?
21368Whatever shall I do?
21368When?
21368Where are we going?
21368Where are we now? 21368 Where is Joses?
21368Where''s Joses?
21368Where, Beaver?
21368Where?
21368Which way are they going?
21368Which way do you think the Indians were going, Joses?
21368Why ca n''t they keep still?
21368Why do n''t the Beaver come back, Joses?
21368Why do n''t they rush off, Joses?
21368Why do n''t you speak?
21368Why do they do that, Joses?
21368Why have n''t they been blown off-- why have n''t they been blown off, Master Bart? 21368 Why have you left your post?"
21368Why not wait till night and steal off?
21368Why not, Master Bart? 21368 Why not, my lad?
21368Why not, my lad?
21368Why not, sir? 21368 Why not?
21368Why should the sheep send them away?
21368Why, Joses,panted Bart,"I thought--""As I was killed?
21368Why, Joses?
21368Why, how did you know?
21368Why, those are wild grapes too, are they not?
21368Why, what for-- to get water?
21368Why, you do n''t think that physic would do our eyes any good, do you, Joses?
21368Why, you thought the Injun had got me, did you, Master Bart? 21368 Why?"
21368Worked? 21368 Would it be safe to allow Bart here to go with you after the bison?"
21368Would they, Beaver?
21368Would you be afraid to follow him, my boy?
21368Yes, Master Bart, and was n''t it enough? 21368 Yes, but why do it look quaint and strange?"
21368Yes?
21368You are, my lad?
21368You do n''t mean to say you ran him down, lad, and shot him, do you?
21368You know I would n''t send you into danger, do n''t you?
21368You know the way from here down into the plain?
21368You mean buffler, do n''t you?
21368You think he is to be trusted, do n''t you, Joses?
21368You think there are mineral riches up in the mountains then?
21368You trust me then to do my best for you?
21368You were?
21368You wo n''t go if the weather''s bad, I s''pose, my lad?
21368You wo n''t go? 21368 You, sir?"
21368You?
21368Young chief Bart, see?
21368` Did he bite you?'' 21368 ` What''s matter, mate?''
21368` What''s the matter with you?'' 21368 Ah, would you?
21368Any alarm?"
21368Are we to carry the mountain back to the old ranche?"
21368Are you afraid?"
21368Bart obeyed mechanically as Joses shouted:"Now then, how long are you going to sit there?"
21368But I say, Master Bart, hear that?"
21368But Joses?
21368But how about the grizzly?"
21368But look here-- you can see the Injuns out there, ca n''t you?"
21368But when shall I go?"
21368But where is it to be found?
21368But which way?
21368But why do you want to move the camp?"
21368But why should n''t I get another?"
21368But you''ve killed the bear among you?"
21368Can you climb it?"
21368Can you make room for me?"
21368Can you?"
21368Come now, my excitable young friend, you think I have been rather quiet and tame with these wretches, do n''t you?"
21368Did n''t the Beaver say that the master''s glass was all good medicine?
21368Did you hear anything?"
21368Do you know why?"
21368Do you see?"
21368Do you suppose I want to be trampled down and tossed?"
21368Do you think the enemy will come back?"
21368Do you want to begin the fight?"
21368Fire my rifle-- make a fire-- ride off to try and find them?"
21368For now came the question-- would the firing of their friends check the Apaches, or would they press on in deadly strife to the bitter end?
21368Got him again?"
21368Had n''t we better stop and drive them back, Beaver, and let the greasers carry away the fish?"
21368Have we not silver enough to buy all the cattle in the province?"
21368He shuddered, and struggled into a sitting position, then thoroughly comprehending after a few minutes what had passed:"Who saved me?"
21368Here I pause for a few moments as I say-- Shall I describe what the Doctor did to save the Indian''s life, or shall I hold my hand?
21368His heart?"
21368How could the mining adventure be carried on without?"
21368How''s that?"
21368Hurt me?
21368I only say you can see them, ca n''t you?"
21368I say, do you think it safe for him to go with you?"
21368I say, have you fired yet?"
21368I say, how could you tell in the dark that it was the Beaver?"
21368I think he may get up, Doctor, eh?"
21368Is it a vein?"
21368Is it a waggon- train?
21368Is it ridiculous to suppose such a thing?
21368Is this place natural or dug out?"
21368Is your rifle all right?"
21368Joses, can you be a true prophet?"
21368Just then there was a soft tapping at the door, and a voice said--"Are you ready to come, Bart?
21368May I begin to shoot?"
21368Now then, am I to try and cure it?
21368Now then, have you made up your minds?
21368Now what''s to be done?"
21368Now, Beaver, what do you say?"
21368Now, then, will you get down and walk up to''em, or must I?"
21368Now, then, will you go?"
21368Of course: why not?
21368Our men?"
21368Sam and Juan?
21368Same time, how do we know they will?
21368Sha n''t I?"
21368Shall I?
21368Shall we come in the morning and examine this place, sir?"
21368So soon?"
21368The Spaniards?"
21368Then in a low voice,"Suppose it should not prove to be silver after all?"
21368There was a rich silver mine out in the plains?
21368They lit the fire on purpose to warm themselves; and where do you think they lit it?"
21368They''ll crawl through the grass, and from stone to stone in the dark there, and who''s to see''em?
21368Was it an enemy?"
21368Well, come along; we are wasting time, but do you think rattlesnakes are as dangerous as people say?"
21368Well, my young Indian runner,"said the governor, laughing,"are you ready for another skirmish?"
21368Well, now then,"he added, as Bart, recovered himself after an ineffectual thrust,"what ought that young man to have done, Master Bart?"
21368What does it matter about your clothes?"
21368What good would it do him to bring down one or even a dozen among the hundreds coming on, all thirsting for their blood?
21368What shall I do?
21368What was that?"
21368What would the Doctor, who had given him so many lessons on presence of mind, coolness in danger, and the like?
21368What would you like me to do?"
21368What''s he bounding ashore for like that?"
21368What''s that?"
21368What''s the good of a view that goes so far you ca n''t see it?
21368What, dug out?"
21368Where could they get the stuff?"
21368Where is Joses?"
21368Where shall I aim at?
21368Where was Joses?
21368Where were the Indians?
21368Where were the hundreds of buffalo that had been thundering over the plain?
21368Where''s the harm?
21368Which way am I to look?"
21368Who can tell when the Apache will come and strike?
21368Who fired the shot as finished her?
21368Who''s to take care of the camp if you go away?"
21368Who?
21368Why are you here?"
21368Why did he not go and see?"
21368Why does not Joses leave them?
21368Why have you come-- to give us warning?"
21368Why should not he do something of the kind?
21368Why, do you not understand that this mine will want working, and that we must have a large number of men here?
21368Will the young chief Bart go?"
21368Would Joses be ready?
21368Would n''t they be just as well without?"
21368Would the Doctor give their enemies a salutation?
21368Would the others stop and defend him, or would they gallop away to save their own lives?
21368Would they hear them on the rocks?
21368Would they never reach the gateway?
21368You do n''t think you could carry him back like a baby?"
21368You wo n''t send out no more?"
21368You''ll trust me, wo n''t you?"
21368are you tired, my lad?"
21368been in after the fish?"
21368cried the Doctor;"but how could he tell?"
21368ejaculated the Doctor;"what''s that?"
21368he cried;"what is wrong?"
21368my young friend,"exclaimed the governor,"how are you now?"
21368nasty?
21368said Bart,"panthers?"
21368said Joses gruffly, for he had volunteered no information,"see anything?"
21368said the Doctor, in a quick low decisive tone;"is it darker now?"
21368that piping noise?"
21368to an Indian?
21368what good would it do?
21368what news?"
21368what would Maude think of him for being such a coward?
21368what''s that mean?"
21368what, do you want to have the Injuns back on us?"
21368where?"
21368who was it?
54772Ai n''t it glorious, wife? 54772 And me too?"
54772Are not you and I one? 54772 Are they not own sisters to Rich?"
54772Are you well enough to get me a big log out of the wood- pile?
54772Be they, father?
54772But could you do without''em altogether?
54772But how could they get into the barn?
54772But where will you get iron? 54772 But why did you not tell me at once, Daniel, that I might have had her properly interred, instead of making an exhibition of the remains?"
54772Could we get along without one of the andirons?
54772Could you get along without the fire- shovel?
54772Did n''t you see, boys, how he and Mr. Perkins caught hold of each other? 54772 Did you ever know me to get sick of, or give up anything, I undertook?"
54772Did you think I would leave my studies and come way up here just to look at the wreck? 54772 Do n''t you think, Mr. Richardson, that a boy whose grandfather and father were blacksmiths is more likely to be handy in a shop?"
54772Do you think a man ought to be thanked for helping himself?
54772Do you think the draw- shave that you cut yourself with has been used since? 54772 Do you think you could get along without the tongs?"
54772Dr. Ryan,he whispered,"wo n''t you ask for this leg, and then give it to me?"
54772Father, when you learn and I learn, can I make me a hatchet?
54772Father,cried Clem, seizing the stone- hammer,"what is this awful great hammer for?"
54772Father,he said,"why do n''t you do like as Mr. Drew did?"
54772Father,said Clem, at length, clambering into his parent''s lap,"what you going to do with the axe now?"
54772Father?
54772Have n''t you any links lying round?
54772Have n''t you spun long enough?
54772How are you pleased with my aunt, Rich?
54772How can I ever thank you enough?
54772How can that be, doctor?
54772How can they grow together if they do n''t touch?
54772How did he do, child?
54772How did they find that out?
54772How long is it going to take to do all that?
54772How much do_ you_ know about it? 54772 How will you know, father, when you''ve got just enough out?"
54772How, bub?
54772I do n''t kno- o- w. What in the world can you want of that?
54772I do n''t know but you are right, wife; but how am I to get either the tools or the iron without money? 54772 I suppose I can tell father and mother?"
54772Is he not doing well enough?
54772Is not this a compound fracture?
54772Is she accomplished?
54772Is that the way you always take them?
54772Jammed it? 54772 May I put it into the knots?"
54772Mine to do what I''m a mind to with?
54772Mother, is that red and white rooster mine?
54772Mother,said Clem, one morning,"will you let me have a piece of your tongs?"
54772Mr. Richardson,said Dan,"will you please pull my tooth?
54772Mrs. Clemens,said Rich,"are you willing I should clear out the old harness- room, and make a fire there occasionally?"
54772My tongs, child? 54772 No, my dear: why do you ask?"
54772O, Susan, how do you make that out? 54772 Rich, who was that old lady at the breakfast table?"
54772Rich,said Morton,"do you know what has surprised me more than anything else I have met with here?"
54772Shall I have to lie in bed long?
54772Sue?
54772Susan, what did you make this cloth for, and what shape is it in?
54772Then you are going to study medicine?
54772Think of what, William?
54772Think you can learn, father?
54772Was it, then, so sudden? 54772 Weak, Rich?
54772Well, wife,said Richardson, at length, starting from his reverie, and flinging fresh fuel on the fire,"what do you think of it?"
54772What are them plasters spread with?
54772What are you about, Daniel?
54772What are you going to dig it up for?
54772What became of the family on the bridge?
54772What do they do to it?
54772What do you know about it?
54772What do you mean by that?
54772What does this mean?
54772What for, Mr. Richardson? 54772 What have you done?
54772What if Montague should sell it over our heads?
54772What if you did? 54772 What is Perk doing?"
54772What is it, boys?
54772What is it, my boy?
54772What is steel, father?
54772What is that, Mort?
54772What is that?
54772What is the matter, Frank?
54772What is the way, bub?
54772What makes it red?
54772What makes you, when you want to burn the handle out of your axe, put wet cloths all over the edge of it?
54772What on earth do you want of that horse- shoe?
54772What shall I do?
54772What time to- morrow will the funeral take place?
54772What was that?
54772What were they going to drown him for?
54772What''s the good of it, father?
54772When did you decide?
54772When, doctor? 54772 Where can Gertrude be?"
54772Where is Rich?
54772Where is my husband, Henry?
54772Who do n''t know that, Clem?
54772Who knows but they may be the temper? 54772 Who said I was n''t a good fellow?
54772Why did n''t the boom break before? 54772 Why do n''t the muscles of the heart get tired, just as my legs do, and want to rest?"
54772Why do n''t you tell me some news?
54772Why not, then, when decarbonizing the cast iron, leave just enough in, and save the labor of three processes?
54772Will that remove your scruples, old chum? 54772 Will the temper stay there forever?"
54772Wo n''t I? 54772 Wo n''t you spoil it?"
54772Worse, Lucy? 54772 Yes, Mort,"replied his visitor, grasping fervently the hand that was timidly extended to meet his own;"ai n''t you glad to see me?"
54772Yes,"And that stake driven into a crack in the ledge?
54772You know a great deal about it-- don''t you?
54772You please yourself with that idea, young man, will you? 54772 You see that is up hill, boys-- don''t you?"
54772You shut up,--will you?
54772Your father never planted these trees,said Morton, gazing at the massive trunks, covered with moss and rough scaly bark;"who did?"
54772Ai n''t that a good deal like work?
54772And what business have_ you_ there in_ our_ swimming- place?"
54772Any ways soon?
54772As the two friends were walking one evening, Morton said,--"Rich, why do n''t you make up to that Miss Litchfield?
54772Aspired, did I say?
54772Belong in these parts?
54772Blake?"
54772But what did he ever amount to, more than sweetened water?"
54772But what is the trouble now?"
54772But what makes steel cut any more''n iron?
54772But where are you going to get the bricks, neighbor, to build your chimneys?"
54772But who and where is she?
54772Can I see you spoil the axes?"
54772Davis?"
54772Did n''t I know that I could punch hot iron with an iron punch, and have done it?"
54772Did n''t they introduce you?
54772Did n''t we make a fire and warm the ledge on the north- west side of Hope Island, sweep off the coals, and lie down-- in November too?"
54772Did n''t you say only last night we were one, and that there never was a shadow between us?
54772Did you hear anybody round the house, Mr. Richardson?
54772Do n''t you think I''d better fling the stone into the river and give it up?
54772Do you know it, David Ryan?
54772Do you know what that young snipper- snapper of a Richardson is, that''s allowed for to lead the singin''in the Lord''s house?
54772Do you know, David Ryan, what a viper yer a nourishin''in yer buzom?
54772Do you remember how it looked?"
54772Do you think it is necessary or best to cut off Frank''s leg?"
54772Do you understand now, my son?"
54772Do you understand this description, because it is the foundation of all that follows-- understand what a valve is?"
54772Do you understand this?"
54772Do you understand, my little man?"
54772Doctor, what do you think this wicked world is comin''to?
54772Have n''t you got corn enough shelled?"
54772Have you decided in respect to a profession?
54772Have you got the broken link?"
54772Have you heard anything from college lately, or from our old class?"
54772How are you?"
54772How can a man lose more than all?"
54772How does it do it?"
54772How many on''em you sold in this town?"
54772I tell you he''s a--""A what?
54772If it half killed me, I would n''t cry, for fear mother would come and get me before I reached the tree; and when she did, O, did n''t I yell some?
54772If you complain so bitterly of coming to our place twice a year, what do you think it must be for us to come to you all the time?
54772Is he your cousin?"
54772Is n''t that something to call up old friends and old associations?"
54772Is she handsome?"
54772It seems to me I can see you scrubbing his face, that was as white as your own, with soap and ashes, and hear him say,''Does it come off, Perk?''"
54772It was now the dinner hour, and as Richardson left the shop he was followed by Breslaw, who said,--"Mr. Richardson, where are you going?"
54772Jammed the nail off?
54772Jones?"
54772Mr. Richardson, do n''t let''em cut poor Frank''s leg off-- will you?"
54772Mr. Richardson, your face seems flushed; does your foot pain you?"
54772No sooner was this offer disposed of than Dan said,--"Mother, did you hear anybody prowling round the house last night?"
54772Now what is the new fashion?"
54772Returning to the garret, Rich said,"About a profession-- is it?"
54772Richardson?"
54772Richardson?"
54772Sha n''t I run to the store and get some?"
54772Shall I go borrow Mr. Montague''s watch?"
54772Slaughter meant by a compound fracture, and why doctors always amputate in that case; and do it in language that his father and I can understand?"
54772Strike, Tom Breslaw-- what are you gaping at?"
54772What are you going to do with that rooster?"
54772What are you hangin''off there for, old Bright?
54772What are you talking about?"
54772What crime have you committed to set your conscience in arms?"
54772What do you ask for him?"
54772What do you let her stay there for, suffer everything but death, slave herself, and dry up, working for that old skinflint and his woman?
54772What do you s''pose he said when he came the next day, and Matilda told him what Granny Tyler said?
54772What do you suppose now is the force of that stroke, when the left ventricle contracts?"
54772What do you think of that?
54772What do you want of my tongs?"
54772What has become of all the poetry that was in you then, and, I had almost said, the froth on the top of the liquor?"
54772What is it you''ve found out?"
54772What is the matter?"
54772What kind of a business?"
54772What next?
54772What say you for buying the old homestead back?
54772What then?''
54772What you''bout there, old Dick?"
54772What''s the use of studying so much to be a doctor, if you ca n''t help anybody?"
54772When and where did I get sick of anything, and give it up?"
54772When breakfast was over, Morton said,"Rich, what are your plans for the future?
54772Where is he?"
54772Where ought it to be buried, doctor?"
54772Which would you prefer, kill him, let him alone to die himself, or amputate, and have a dog with three legs?"
54772Why?"
54772Will you not have an alum curd on your foot this morning?
54772Will you sell it?"
54772Will you set the bones, and do as you think best?"
54772Will you take your saw, and help me saw out the stuff?
54772Will you tell me if I am correct in it?"
54772Will you, Mr. Richardson?
54772Will, where''d you get this axe?"
54772Wo n''t there be some misery to that?
54772You can have your tongs, and your andirons, and I can have all the tools I want?
54772You noticed that it was smooth, and stood out about its whole bigness clear from everything, except at the base, where it joined the body?"
54772You see that large maple that stands next to the hemlock-- the biggest tree in the field?"
54772You see that smooth, perpendicular ledge that makes out into the river?"
54772You wo n''t kill him; will you?"
54772and how came it to break after the water was done rising?"
54772and wo n''t we go ahead?"
54772could n''t you put it into cold water and make it come back?"
54772he said to himself;"have I got to take that awful, sickish, nasty stuff?"
54772where have you been?"
5642A little hotter than it is at home, eh?
5642And plenty to keep ladies alive too?
5642And talking of me, I suppose?
5642And what answer has she given you?
5642And where have you been?
5642And where is Nokes?
5642And who was it?
5642And who was there in the matter?
5642And who were your party?
5642And you do n''t think much of Boscobel?
5642And you think nothing more can be done?
5642Are you afraid?
5642Are you always breaking yours? 5642 But if you had a house of your own?"
5642But you are happy?
5642But, Harry, why did n''t he light it when he''d done it?
5642By that time, Harry, you will have got rich, and we shall all be in England, sha''n''t we?
5642Ca n''t you say Mr. Heathcote when you speak of a gentleman whose bread you have eaten?
5642Can I speak a word with you?
5642Did Bates tell you he''d met me?
5642Did I ever wrong a man of a shilling?
5642Did n''t I see his leg move? 5642 Did you ever see impudence like that?"
5642Did you hear any thing?
5642Did you not? 5642 Did you see any fires about your way last night?"
5642Do I want dominion over your soul, Karl Bender?
5642Do the squatters suffer much from fires?
5642Do you help to look to things?
5642Do you think he''d be better without a wife?
5642Do you think we''re going to fight the battles of a fellow like you, who has n''t pluck to come forward himself?
5642Do you want me to dismiss him?
5642Going to be fine to- night, Jacko?
5642Have you been over to Gangoil since you left it?
5642He might have put a match in at the moment?
5642He turned Nokes out by the scruff of his neck?
5642He was n''t that soft, Mr. Jerry, was he? 5642 He''s away with your brother George?"
5642Heathcote''s in an awful state about them fires, ai n''t he?
5642How else? 5642 I say, Mr. Medlicot, did you see Bos and his horse part company?
5642I wonder whether I shall ever have a wife to stand up for me in that way?
5642I wonder who he was?
5642I''m here all day, ai n''t I? 5642 I''m not much given to talk about Providence, but this looks like it, does it not?"
5642If it is,said Jack,"what''s that to you?"
5642If you do n''t like him, why do n''t you take another?
5642Is he the boy you call Jacko?
5642Is n''t it sad that he should have to ride about all night like that?
5642Is that Mr. Heathcote? 5642 Is that all?"
5642Is that you, Nokes, at this time of night?
5642Is there much to be afraid of? 5642 Is there no one else has got a grudge against you?"
5642It is not Christmas like at home at all; is it, Mr.''Eathcote? 5642 It was not a nice Christmas game, Sir, was it?"
5642Jacko?
5642Karl Bender?
5642Kate-- may I call you Kate?
5642May I keep it now?
5642None in the least, Kate; is there?
5642Nor any thing about him?
5642Not a word?
5642Not much of an office, is it? 5642 Oh no, Mr. Medlicot; how can he like it?
5642Oh, Mr. Medlicot, is it?
5642On horseback?
5642Or Tom?
5642Ought we not to have dispersed the heap?
5642Out again to- night?
5642Rain or no rain? 5642 Seven, is it?
5642So that you''re free to go elsewhere?
5642Tell me, Kate-- shall it be so?
5642That makes a difference, does it not?
5642That was all, eh?
5642The old woman says as you was wanting me?
5642Then why ai n''t you watching?
5642Then why is n''t young Heathcote to swing?
5642Then why should I pay you for it? 5642 Then you''re to make double use of your time, and sell it twice over, are you?
5642There''s been no one about, I suppose?
5642Too much of master and man about it, ai n''t there, Bos?
5642Want the horses, master?
5642Was it for a fire?
5642Was it so when we came?
5642Was there any harm done?
5642We have been very jolly, have n''t we, Kate? 5642 Well, Mr. Brownbie, and how are you?"
5642Well, Mr. Jerry, how goes it?
5642Well, Nokes,said Harry,"how are you getting on?
5642What brought him here?
5642What business is that of yours?
5642What chap?
5642What do you think of him, Mary?
5642What does a man live for except to alter things? 5642 What is it you want, then?"
5642What is it, then?
5642What should knock me up? 5642 What sort of a Christmas will it be if you and I, and these young fellows here, and Kate, are all burned out of Gangoil?
5642What sort of a fellow is he?
5642What the mischief should I be doing at your shed at night- time?
5642What thing?
5642What''s the good of it, Mr. Heathcote? 5642 What''s this you''re up to, Heathcote?
5642What, Bos, is that you? 5642 Where are they all?"
5642Who are they?
5642Who are you?
5642Who cares what he knows? 5642 Who fired it first?"
5642Who is to watch him?
5642Who the deuce are you?
5642Who wants to come in? 5642 Who was it?"
5642Who''s that?
5642Why do n''t you sit in your saddle, you stupid young duffer?
5642Why do you say so, Harry? 5642 Why not I and others besides Harry?"
5642Why not, Harry?
5642Why not, Harry?
5642Why not, Mr. Harry? 5642 Why should any one want to ruin me?"
5642Why should he go out now?
5642Why should you not be safe here?
5642Will you go, Kate, and make sugar down at the mill? 5642 You are drawing three shillings a night for watching; is n''t that so?"
5642You can sit your horse jumping, Jacko?
5642You did n''t know him?
5642You do n''t know his real name?
5642You dropped the match by accident?
5642You have n''t been at the wool- shed?
5642You have n''t got any thing against anybody here, I should think?
5642You know I love you, do you not? 5642 You mean to say that I am trespassing?"
5642You think it was Nokes?
5642You think they''re arranging it all at Boolabong?
5642You were to have come to- day, you know, but we did not think you''d come like this, did we?
5642You would n''t marry any one but a squatter? 5642 You young monkey,"said he,"have you been using matches?"
5642You''ll marry a squatter, of course, Miss Daly?
5642You''ve been across on Brownbie''s run?
5642Am I to keep a sentry there all night, and every night?"
5642And what made him pretend he did n''t know the distances?
5642And where would the other fire have gone which somebody lit, and which nobody put out, if he had n''t been there to stop it?
5642And why ca n''t he look a man in the face?
5642And why should the boy have said it was he if it was n''t?
5642As to the land, you''ll forgive my having it if Kate will come and live there?"
5642At any rate, you''ve not been at Gangoil wool- shed?"
5642But how would it be with her should he be forced to move her from Gangoil?
5642But why did not Harry come home?
5642But you would not therefore think that Mr. Medlicot knows any thing about it?"
5642But, after all, what is a brother- in- law, though he be the very best?
5642Could Medlicot swear to the man?
5642Dearest Kate, can you love me and be my wife?"
5642Did I tell you that they had fires over at Jackson''s yesterday-- at Goolaroo?"
5642Did the man know that he had been seen?
5642Do n''t the grass burn ready, Mr. Harry?
5642Do n''t you think so?"
5642Do you hear me?
5642Does he often go about the run in that way at night?"
5642Does the jolting hurt you much?
5642Firing our grass?
5642Harry?"
5642Has he said any thing to you, dear?"
5642He has been telling you about fires, has he?"
5642He ought to come back; ought n''t he, ma''am?
5642Heathcote?"
5642Heathcote?"
5642Here''s Bates.--Well, Mr. Bates, how goes it?"
5642How could I get that distance?
5642How do you feel now?
5642How was it all, Mr. Medlicot?
5642How were the"hands"to be kept in their place if one employer of labor did not back up another?
5642How would it be with you if you were to be off to Gympie?"
5642I should think so.--Kate, why do n''t you come out?
5642I suppose we can swear against him for lighting our grass, sergeant?
5642I suppose you''re not going to send a fellow on without a bit of grub after such a night''s work?"
5642I thought you was ringing trees for that young scut at Gangoil?
5642I was n''t asleep, was I?"
5642I wonder what you and Heathcote would say about it?"
5642I''m to pay you for ringing these trees, ai n''t I?"
5642I''ve just ridden home from"From Gangoil?
5642If a match were thrown there at your feet, and the grass was aflame, could n''t you alter that by putting your foot on it?
5642If you find a ewe on her back, ca n''t you alter that by putting her on her legs?"
5642Is Jacko in the kitchen?
5642Is Mr. Medlicot here?"
5642Is it not dreadful that there should be such fighting?
5642It''s stiffish sort of weather, Mr. Brownbie, ai n''t it, Sir?"
5642Lord love you, what can yon do?
5642Medlicot?"
5642Men must live; and what were a few sheep?
5642Of what use was it to tell him that Medlicot was a gentleman?
5642So Nokes is off, is he?"
5642That''s what you''d''ve done, would n''t you, Bos?
5642Then, after a pause, he continued,"As we ca n''t go to you, why should you not come to us?"
5642They had simply interfered to prevent the burning of the grass on their own run, and who could say that they had committed any crime by doing so?
5642They would n''t do worse than that, would they?"
5642Well, I''ve dropped working for him.--How are you, Mr. Brownbie?
5642Were you not?"
5642What brings you up to Boolabong?
5642What right have you to fire our grass?"
5642What the blazes''d I go there for?
5642What''s the use of dawdling about up there in the broad moonlight, and the wind like this?"
5642When Heathcote lighted the fire, where would the fire have gone if he had n''t kept putting it out as fast as he kept lighting it?
5642When I asked him whether he''d been at my shed, what made him say that he had n''t been there at night- time?
5642When a man clears the forest and sows corn, does he not alter things?"
5642Where can we go to?"
5642Who''s Heathcote?"
5642Who''s a duffer now?"
5642Who''s to prove what''s in a man''s mind?
5642Why do n''t he jump proper?
5642Why do n''t master come back?
5642Why should he be wiser than they?
5642Will you come into the office, or will you go across to the house?"
5642Will you have the baggy?"
5642Would he think that plans were being made to catch him, now that he was a captive and impotent?
5642You are not given to be inhospitable, and why should you grudge me and Kate the rare pleasure of seeing a strange face?"
5642You could n''t give a fellow such a thing as a nobbler, Mr. Jerry, could you?
5642You have n''t heard where that fellow Boscobel has gone?"
5642You know Boscobel?"
5642You were in the middle of the fire, were you not?"
5642You wo n''t be late, will you?"
5642You would n''t have me not employ a man just because you had dismissed him?"
5642said Jacko, just saving himself by a scramble;"who ever saw the like of that?"
5642what''s that?"
5642why do n''t you jump away, Mr. Harry?
5642would n''t they?"
34661All that''ll keep till to- morrow, Mr. McNab, wo n''t it?
34661And how much will that be?
34661And if you get the money we can go away from here and never come back to the Wirree River any more?
34661And that''s Conal?
34661And then what''ll he say?
34661And they''ll say to you:''How do y''know?'' 34661 And who do y''think will believe you?"
34661And who is it y''ll be killing now, Conal?
34661And who''s Conal to think so? 34661 And who''s the man Conal''s going to kill for comin''between you, Deirdre?"
34661And you too, father?
34661And your son will be a rich man after you?
34661Any news?
34661Are n''t you going to dance, Davey?
34661Are n''t you going to have anything?
34661Are n''t you sorry you''re such a bad, naughty, wicked, little girl?
34661Are you going now?
34661Are you in this with Conal?
34661But he was all right this morning?
34661But we can get along without them, ca n''t we?
34661But what will Davey think of me?
34661But will you not rest now? 34661 But you''re all right, you and the bairn?"
34661By the way, Conal, who fixed the brands on that red bull? 34661 Ca n''t we go now?"
34661Can I tell him what it is?
34661Conal''s late, Deirdre?
34661D''you think I want his blood on my hands?
34661Davey?
34661Deirdre, what has happened?
34661Deirdre, you''ve got something to say to Mrs. Cameron yourself, have n''t you?
34661Did I ever make bills like this for myself? 34661 Did n''t Davey tell you?"
34661Did you gather the flowers for his father?
34661Did you have a good trip?
34661Did you know...she asked,"did you know, Conal, Steve and father came from the Island over there?"
34661Did you, Conal?
34661Do n''t take orders from Thad yet, do you, Conal?
34661Do you mean,he asked,"that Deirdre thinks anybody could be to me what she is?"
34661Do you really think you ought to?
34661Do you remember, Davey dear, the night before father and I went away, and I ran over the paddock to the corner of the road to see you? 34661 Do you still believe I fired that shot in the dark, Deirdre?"
34661Do you think I''m likely to be able to keep McNab so busy, he would n''t notice you were walking out?
34661Do you think so?
34661Do you think you would be willing to let your little girl come to the school if we can get a teacher?
34661Does anybody know if he''s left the town yet?
34661Does he know the game?
34661Eh, would he?
34661Eh?
34661Eh?
34661Going up to Steve''s?
34661Gone-- where?
34661Had you a bit of business on, Thad?
34661Has Conal come yet?
34661Has n''t he come?
34661Have I ever seen you before? 34661 Have n''t you heard?
34661Have you any idea who it''s from?
34661Have you anything to say to these bills? 34661 Have you been able to manage him, Deirdre?"
34661Have you got anything to do with it?
34661Have you got the calves out of the paddock?
34661Have you got those beasts out?
34661Have you?
34661Have you?
34661He''s been making love to you, has he, Deirdre? 34661 He''s not going to die, is he?"
34661Her mother''s dead?
34661Here, ma''am,he said at last, snarling over the words,"Where''s your man?
34661How did it happen? 34661 How do I know?"
34661How does Mr. Cameron take it?
34661How is he lookin''--Conal?
34661How old will she be now?
34661How what happened?
34661I made up my mind on the way, to- day, to ask you what this business is Conal''s on, and if you are with him, or not?
34661I promised you when I brought up that first mob for Conal, I''d clear out after, did n''t I? 34661 If you take this mob to- morrow, you will clear out then and look for another job on the other side of the ranges?"
34661If you''re not getting- up, can I have this one with Jess?
34661If you''re not going to get- up, can I have this one with Jess?
34661Intruding, am I?
34661Is it Conal you''ve been working with, Davey?
34661Is it him you love?
34661Is it not a good way?
34661Is it true what they say-- that he will lose his sight?
34661Is it? 34661 Is it?
34661Is n''t it your own blood speaking in all his high- handed ways? 34661 Is this the sort of son I''ve got-- goes robbing me behind my back, drinking with pothouse boys, lags and thieves?
34661It is n''t seriously hurt? 34661 It was the little blue flowers, do n''t you remember, we put in for her eyes?"
34661It was you then? 34661 It''s great times we''ve had together, my darling, is n''t it?"
34661It''s not from you, Conal?
34661Jess Ross?
34661Look here, Davey,he said, riding beside him,"what''s this game you''re on?
34661Ma''am, is n''t that what I am?
34661Mighty sudden the Schoolmaster made up his mind, eh, my blackbird?
34661My wheel?
34661Oh, child, why did you do it? 34661 Oh, that''s it, is it?"
34661Oh, you''ve got a bad burn?
34661Oh,she gasped, breathlessly,"how dare you, Davey?
34661Perhaps it was Davey?
34661Pity?
34661Proof? 34661 Say?
34661She was always more eager to be''possuming and chasing calves with Davey than to be learning to cook and sew, was n''t she?
34661She went down the track?
34661Sit down, wo n''t you?
34661Sleep?
34661Some blasted clipper for the Port, d''y''think she''ll see us, Dan? 34661 That you, Deirdre?"
34661The boys got the mob?
34661The grammar, geography, all the-- the learning that is--''essential to a liberal education''?
34661Then there has been trouble?
34661Then why on earth did you want to take him on and get Thad on our tracks?
34661There''s no need for them to be sitting up trying to be polite, is there?
34661There''s nobody else got a grudge against you, Davey?
34661There''s nothing you have n''t told me?
34661They were pioneers, were n''t they, grandfather and grandmother? 34661 They''re not there to be looked at, are they?"
34661Things are tightening up north, too?
34661This is Conal, you know, Long Conal, Davey-- Fighting Conal-- they call him, do n''t they?
34661True, Davey?
34661Was he back when you came away this morning?
34661Well--she began again, and, as likely as not, her mind taken up with the tangled thread, would add:"Where was I, Davey?"
34661Well... you-- you wo n''t get Davey to come home, or let me try?
34661What about young Cameron?
34661What are you going to do about those beasts?
34661What are you going to like? 34661 What can McNab do to me?"
34661What can we do?
34661What did he go to the Wirree for, Deirdre?
34661What did he say?
34661What did he say?
34661What do they say about here? 34661 What do you mean?
34661What do you mean?
34661What do you mean?
34661What do you think can have kept him?
34661What else would I grow?
34661What happened? 34661 What have you been doing, Deirdre?"
34661What have you done about those calves?
34661What have you said to him? 34661 What is it, Davey?"
34661What is it, Jo?
34661What is it?
34661What is it?
34661What is it?
34661What is it?
34661What is your name?
34661What made you?
34661What on earth is she waiting for?
34661What the hell''s she doing there?
34661What will it mean?
34661What would you say if I applied for the post?
34661What you say makes the getting rid of them sound easy, but I hardly like the idea of--"Taking your share, after the way I''ve put it?
34661What''s that you were saying about father?
34661What''s that you''re saying?
34661What''s that?
34661What''s that?
34661What''s the matter? 34661 What''s the matter?"
34661What''s the meaning of this?
34661What''s this?
34661What?
34661When I was a little kid, we went, you, and I, and father, to see him, did n''t we? 34661 When did you get back?"
34661When, Davey?
34661When?
34661Where are you going? 34661 Where are you going?"
34661Where are you?
34661Where did he come from?
34661Where is he, I wonder? 34661 Where is he?"
34661Where''s Conal?
34661Where''s Conal?
34661Where''s Davey?
34661Where''s father?
34661Where''s the child?
34661Where''s the dog?
34661Which way are you going?
34661Which way did they go?
34661Which way did they go?
34661Who did he tell you sent it?
34661Who says so?
34661Who says so?
34661Who told you?
34661Who with? 34661 Who''s to be the teacher?"
34661Who? 34661 Why ca n''t you take them yourself?"
34661Why did he do that? 34661 Why did he want to see McNab, Deirdre?"
34661Why did n''t he come?
34661Why did she do it? 34661 Why not?"
34661Why, how was that?
34661Why?
34661Why?
34661Will he ever forgive me? 34661 Will you dance with me, Deirdre?"
34661Will you dance with me, Deirdre?
34661Will you dance with me, Deirdre?
34661Will you not go after him to Wirreeford and get him to come home again?
34661Will you not let me drive, Donald?
34661Would n''t I?
34661Would you have in like circumstances?
34661Y''re not regretting at the long journey''s end?
34661Yes?
34661Yes?
34661Yes?
34661You are afraid, then?
34661You are n''t going to try and get him off by putting yourself in his place, are you?
34661You are sorry we''re going, are n''t you, Davey?
34661You do n''t like Deirdre better than me, do you, Davey?
34661You do n''t mean to say you''ve got into any-- arrangement with McNab?
34661You gave him a drop of grog?
34661You know what it is I want you to do?
34661You know what''ll happen if it''s known Farrel''s an escaped convict?
34661You remember the promise?
34661You think it''s the easiest way to get rid of us-- to give us what we ask for?
34661You went up to the store and straight out along the road past the Bull?
34661You''d never do that, McNab?
34661You''d never send us back to the Island?
34661You''d never''ve thought it, would you, Deirdre? 34661 You''d not be throwing it up at me that I... that I did this?"
34661You''ll be going to the Clearwater River to- morrow, and be away a day or two, wo n''t you?
34661You''ll be wanting to say good- bye to Deirdre, too, wo n''t you, Davey?
34661You''ll give me wages-- pay me the same as the rest of the men?
34661You''ll give us food and clothing?
34661You''re my sweetheart, are n''t you, Deirdre?
34661You''re not going home, Deirdre?
34661You''re not going to- night?
34661You''re not grieving?
34661You''re sure-- sure, you do n''t feel strange about your mother, Dan?
34661You''ve heard of Mr. Cameron''s death, Conal?
34661You''ve the book learning, why ca n''t you give it to him?
34661You-- believe-- I shot Davey?
34661You-- love-- him, Deirdre?
34661You-- you have killed him?
34661You?
34661Your eye''s all right, is n''t it?
34661''What proof have you got, Deirdre?''
34661Abuse?
34661And Davey-- why could n''t he have gone to gaol instead?
34661And I do n''t want to be hanged-- that''s what they do with people who have done what I''ve done, is n''t it?
34661And a moment later:"Have I been mad with fright?
34661And boys only kiss girls who are their sweethearts, do n''t they, Davey?"
34661And did I interfere?
34661And what had she made of him?
34661And what have I got for it-- wages?
34661And you do not mean the grass to grow under y''re feet, Mary?"
34661And you''d want him to help us, would n''t you?
34661Are there any bones for Sally?
34661Are we too far away?
34661Because you worked hard for it in the beginning, is that any reason why you should hang on to it, when you''ve got it-- be afraid to spend it?
34661Besides, Deirdre--""Where is she?"
34661Besides--""Where is Conal?"
34661But Where''s Conal?
34661But did you ever hear of a youngster who''d sit behind the door and suck his thumbs while there was moonlighting in the air?
34661But father-- hadn''t he done enough for you?
34661But had n''t you better be getting down to cover before it''s much later?"
34661But if you will get what is necessary for me next time you go to the Port he will be-- what was it, Davey?"
34661But what did that matter?
34661But what to do?
34661But what''s the meaning of these?"
34661But what''s your game?
34661But you do love me, too, do n''t you, darling black head?
34661By God-- why did I let him off?
34661CHAPTER XXII"What''s the matter with Davey?"
34661CHAPTER XXIX"So you''re goin''to Steve''s, Deirdre?"
34661Ca n''t you see it''s best that I should go... now... like this, before....""You''re not thinking of doing any harm to yourself, Deirdre?"
34661Cameron?"
34661Cameron?"
34661Can we get one?
34661Conal had a look at the fences when he was up a couple of days ago, did n''t he?
34661D''you hear that?
34661Dan?
34661Davey ca n''t very well be accused of stealing his own cattle, and McNab--""What has he got to say about it?
34661Davey?
34661Did I ever throw away roistering what he has?"
34661Did I say that they all rode grey horses, Davey?"
34661Did you know?
34661Do n''t you know what people are saying about us?
34661Do n''t you remember?
34661Do they think Davey''ll get off and Dan''ll have to pay?"
34661Do you remember the day we were taking him up to Steve''s in the spring- cart?"
34661Do you remember, Deirdre?
34661Do you think I could have lived... breathed... been sane, while you... were near him?"
34661Do you think he will, Deirdre?"
34661Do you think if it is a question of yours and Dan''s life against McNab''s, I can hesitate?"
34661Do you think my life''s worth a straw to me?
34661Do-- do you think it was Conal, Davey?"
34661Eaglehawk, is n''t it?
34661Farrel?"
34661Had she told him what McNab had said to them?
34661Has n''t he given his eyes for you?
34661Has n''t he worshipped you all these years?
34661Have n''t you always said so?
34661Have n''t you said that it will be all mine some day-- this place and all the money you''ve made?
34661Have you heard what they are saying of your father?
34661Have you lost your way in the hills?
34661Him a lag, and you a lag''s daughter?"
34661His laughter rang out, a gay challenge in it:"How''s that for a finish, Pat?"
34661How could you?"
34661How dare you?"
34661How is it he''s not there with Davey?
34661How long have we been in this boat?
34661I am not sure that I''d better not send Johnson back to tell him that they''ve been here and that--""You would not do that, Donald?"
34661I had to tell him when he came in, for fear-- What''s to be done about it, Deirdre?
34661I killed him, caught him by the throat behind the shed?"
34661If what?
34661If you get into a scrape, or any sort of trouble, will you remember that?"
34661Is it a bargain?"
34661Is n''t any girl on the roads good enough for him to play the fool to?"
34661Is n''t what''s yours, mine?
34661Is there any harm he could do us?"
34661Is there going to be a storm?"
34661It seemed all right-- the other way-- You wo n''t think badly of me, Deirdre?"
34661It was because Mrs. Cameron--""Oh, that was it, was it?"
34661Maitland''s got fattening paddocks up beyond Steve''s, has n''t he?
34661McNab?"
34661McNab?"
34661Mighty kind of you to have come after me with it?"
34661Oh, why have you got yourself mixed up with duffing and crooked ways, Davey?"
34661Pity?
34661Show sympathy with lags, and what''ll be said next?
34661Tell me what you''re going to do?"
34661The down on the leaves, all browny gold and glistening in the sun, was a little bit like her hair, was n''t it, Dan?"
34661Then again he was crying:"Is that the land, Dan, that line against the sky over there?
34661Then he said roughly:"You''re not playing the Thad McNab game?"
34661They were parting when the Schoolmaster said:"Hear Pat and Tom Kearney have cleared out to the new rush?
34661This business Conal was on, what was it?
34661Was he going up to the trial?
34661Well, is he going to get anybody?
34661What are you going to do then?"
34661What are you going to do, Deirdre?"
34661What can you tell me of Davey?
34661What could have driven you to it?"
34661What could he do?
34661What did McNab say?
34661What did you think your son would be to take the sort of treatment you''ve given him from any man-- even his own father?
34661What does this kid want anyhow?
34661What had McNab meant by that?
34661What had he been doing?
34661What had she done for him?
34661What harm was it McNab could do her father?
34661What has he got to do with it?"
34661What have you done to him?"
34661What is going to happen to me?"
34661What is it has come between you?"
34661What part had Mrs. Cameron had in his life that she could command him-- that she dared ask him to lay down his life for her?
34661What pity''s been shown to us?
34661What right had Conal to dance with her?
34661What shall I do?
34661What the hell do you mean?"
34661What was he going to do?
34661What''ll I do?
34661What''ll he do?
34661What''s been doing, Deirdre?"
34661What''s the good of it to me?
34661What''s the good of it to mother?
34661What''s the good of your money to you?
34661When I come back will you marry me, Deirdre?"
34661Where had Conal been?
34661Which way did they go?"
34661Who else have you got to give it to?
34661Who, with heart in breast, could deny you love?"
34661Why are you in it?
34661Why did Davey ever go in for this business?
34661Why had she been told nothing about it?
34661Why should not we?"
34661Why was he not in?
34661Why was he not telling her his plans as he was telling Steve?
34661Why was it he had gone off the way he did without saying a word to anybody?
34661Will he do anything for you, Deirdre?
34661Will the waves hide us?"
34661Will you let her come soon to stay with me for a while?"
34661Will you not say so too, Davey?"
34661Will you, Davey?"
34661Wo n''t you look at me, Davey?
34661Wo n''t you look at me?...
34661Wo n''t you open your eyes?
34661Would he be able to speak?
34661Would he never catch her eye?
34661Would she never look his way?
34661Would you be forgettin'', my dear?
34661Would you rather I had let Davey take his punishment?
34661Yet her anxiety tormenting her, one day she said:"Tell me what is troubling you, Davey?
34661You do love him?"
34661You do n''t suppose he''ll blab, do you?
34661You know where we came from?"
34661You know, and I know, that lots of men have been sent out for things that were not crimes at all, and--""You know and you will not tell me?"
34661You would n''t let Dan and y''r old Uncle Stevie, go over there again?"
34661You''ll be a good wife to Davey, wo n''t you, darling?
34661You''ll be coming to stay with us again when he comes home, wo n''t you?
34661You''ll be married, and I--""What?"
34661You''ll give me y''r word, wo n''t you, Deirdre?"
34661You''re the richest man this side of the ranges...."But how do we live?
34661You''ve no idea of any one else?"
34661You''ve not gone, Davey?
20714Afraid of what?
20714Ai n''t the Elder comin''?
20714Ai n''t you, Serry?
20714Alone? 20714 And about the spider?"
20714And the price?
20714And you''re the clerk?
20714Any answer?
20714Any objection, Bill? 20714 Anybody coming?"
20714Are you cold?
20714Are you cold?
20714Are you satisfied?
20714But how do you come back t''me?
20714But what_ is_ the way out?
20714But why go into this so quick? 20714 Ca n''t I do something?"
20714Ca n''t I look in?
20714Ca n''t y''r father step in and help you?
20714Ca n''t you come to the wedding, Jim? 20714 Can I see you, Radbourn, alone?"
20714Can I wait and go back with you?
20714Can you hear us? 20714 Cheerful prospect, is n''t it?"
20714Dad, ai n''t you got no sense? 20714 Did he do it fair?"
20714Did n''t I do it slick? 20714 Did n''t you know no more''n to bring a Baptist preacher into this house?"
20714Did y''get the second bundle of magazines last Saturday?
20714Did you ask for anything?
20714Did you do work like that?
20714Did you just get in?
20714Did you suffer, child?
20714Did you? 20714 Did''e?
20714Do I own some of this town?
20714Do human beings live here?
20714Do n''t they? 20714 Do n''t you want a sleigh- ride?"
20714Do n''t you want some med''cine? 20714 Do they have any new things?"
20714Do you call it square for a man-- married, and gray- haired, too-- to take up with a woman like Mrs. Shellberg? 20714 Do you think it''s so bad as that?
20714Do you? 20714 Do?
20714Does Dad pay you to stand an''look at me an''say pretty things t''the cook?
20714Does n''t that hay in the bunks get a-- a-- sometimes?
20714Does the moon hurt you, Tilly? 20714 Emmy, where_ are_ you, Emmy?"
20714Exciting? 20714 Excuse me, wo n''t you?
20714Go alone?
20714Going to the camp- meeting, Con?
20714Got a tag on y''rself?
20714Hain''t seen nothing o''Harkey?
20714Hartley friend o''yours?
20714Have n''t you been in the same kind of a temper too?
20714Have you any objection to family devotion?
20714He did n''t?
20714Heard about the plan for a church?
20714Heerd anything o''Pill lately?
20714Hello, Milt, where you bound?
20714Hello, folkses, are you all here?
20714How are you now, dear?
20714How could I, with you on my manly bosom?
20714How d''ye do? 20714 How de do?
20714How did it happen?
20714How do those people live out here on their farms?
20714How do you do? 20714 How do you feel now?"
20714How far?
20714How goes it?
20714How is he?
20714How is your mother to- day?
20714How many left?
20714How much am I hurt?
20714How yeh feelin'', anyway, pardner?
20714How you getting on, Williams?
20714How''d Harkey feel?
20714How''d y''come to send_ him_ here?
20714How''d y''fool old Rove?
20714How''m I t''do it?
20714How''s the sick man getting on?
20714How?
20714Hul-_lo!_ Still at the Latin, hey?
20714I do n''t know; do you?
20714I guess I''ve a good''eal to say-- haven''t I, Serry?
20714I s''pose it must''a''been in spring that those old chaps, on their steeds and in their steel shirts, started out for to rescue some damsel, hey?
20714I think you are mistaken, just as other jealous women have--"You think I''m jealous, do you?
20714I thought you was going through college all so fast?
20714I want to know how often you''re going to be out till twelve o''clock with this book agent?
20714I''m his mother now, and he''s goin''to do just as I tell him to-- aren''t you, Albert?
20714I''m just out of Jackson University, and--"That so? 20714 In dry goods?"
20714In the dark, hey?
20714Is Albert Lohr in this car?
20714Is n''t it awful?
20714Is the doctor still here?
20714Is there a church there?
20714Is this the place?
20714Is this where Mrs. Welsh lives?
20714It pays, do n''t it? 20714 It''s almost spring again, is n''t it?
20714It''s dreadful, is n''t it? 20714 Know where you are?"
20714Look- a- here, Daddy, ai n''t that crowdin''the mourners?
20714Lyman Gilman, what in the world ails you to- day? 20714 Ma, ca n''t I put on my clean dress?"
20714Ma, why did n''t you sleep with Pap last night?
20714Most time f''r the Elder to come, ai n''t it?
20714Mr. Burns, what have you done? 20714 My wife knows about you, and--""Who told her-- did you?"
20714N- no; but-- but--"But what, Merry Etty?
20714No, have you?
20714No, she''s well enough-- but--"But what is the trouble? 20714 No, why?"
20714Now, what can I do for you?
20714Now, what in---- you been up to?
20714Now, why are you down on the judge? 20714 Objection?
20714Oh, Ed, is n''t this delicious? 20714 Oh, Lime, s''pose somebody should see us?"
20714Oh, Serry, do n''t leave me again, will you?
20714Oh, ca n''t something be done?
20714Oh, doctor, how is she?
20714Oh, must you? 20714 Oh, my brethren, what will you do in that last day?"
20714Oh, what shall I do?
20714Oh, will you? 20714 Oh, you''re too sharp, ai n''t you?"
20714Poor fellow, what will become of him?
20714Poor little man, he''s all tired out, ai n''t he?
20714Preachun''?
20714Pretty strong, is n''t it?
20714Ready for company?
20714S- a- y, Pill, ai n''t you a- bearun''down on the boys a_ leetle too_ hard?
20714Sary Ann,said Mrs. Gray, as sharply as any one ever heard her speak,"that''s a pretty way to talk about your sister, ai n''t it?"
20714Say, Stacey, have you got a policy?
20714Say, why did n''t you shout? 20714 Say, would you take a country school several miles out?"
20714See that team goin''in?
20714See them crabs?
20714See them lights?
20714See those?
20714Sha''n''t I drive for you?
20714Shall I, mother?
20714She calls him Wallace?

20714What''s the use? 20714 What''s the use?
20714What''s your object? 20714 When are we going to visit the camp?"
20714When did this coom on?
20714When do we reach there?
20714When do you reach the junction?
20714When?
20714Where do you propose to go?
20714Where is she?
20714Where''s Pill?
20714Where''s the town?
20714Where''s y''r ma?
20714Where''s y''r ma?

20714Who''s ex- e_cu_tor?
20714Who''s goin''t''live on ye?
20714Who?
20714Why did n''t you come down with the baroosh?
20714Why did n''t you get into the basket?
20714Why do n''t you teach?
20714Why not?
20714Why not?
20714Why so?
20714Why so?
20714Why, Ed, what''s the matter?
20714Why, what do you mean?
20714Why, what more could you ask? 20714 Why, what''s the matter, Maudie?
20714Why, why!--what is it? 20714 Will it live, Doctor?
20714Will you ask her to come here a moment?
20714Wo n''t milk an''cookies do as well?
20714Wo n''t you come in and sit down by the fire?
20714Wo n''t you sit down and play for us?
20714Would you go if I asked you?
20714Yes; know him?
20714You act like a jeal--"Jealous of that gray- haired old wretch? 20714 You are, eh?"
20714You believe in good deeds, candor, and steadfastness?
20714You believe in justice, equality of opportunity, and in liberty?
20714You believe in square dealing between man and man?
20714You believe, in short, that a man should do unto others as he''d have others do unto him; think right and live out his thoughts?
20714You hush, will yeh? 20714 You promised, you remember?"
20714You read Latin?
20714You think I lie, then?
20714You''re very strong, are n''t you?
20714Yup; nice little scheme, ai n''t it?
20714*****"Wo n''t you read to me?"
20714After a decent pause the younger man said,"Going to Kesota, are you?"
20714After a little:"Do n''t you remember, Mattie, how beautiful the moonlight seemed?
20714After a pause, she said:"You were raised on a farm?"
20714After a short and vigorous"blowing up,"Albert asked:"Well, now, what''s the meaning of all this, anyhow?
20714After he had gone out, Field said,"I wonder if he''ll do it?"
20714Ai n''t it a nice day?"
20714Ai n''t the twisted wire better?"
20714Ai n''t they somethin''?"
20714Ai n''t we goin''t''be married soon?"
20714Ai n''t you got no gumption?...
20714Albert, do you know me?"
20714Almost the first thing she asked was,"How is Williams?"
20714Am I in your way?"
20714Another case o''girl, hey?"
20714Are there many teams out?"
20714Are they all like that?"
20714Are ye''fraid o''me?"
20714As Lyman sat down on his maple log to hear better, a plump face appeared at the window, and a clear, girl- voice said:--"Smell anything, Lime?"
20714As he looked at them the thought came to him, What is the goodness of a girl-- of a child?
20714As he went to bed, and found her still away, he yelled up the stairway:--"Say, old woman, ai n''t ye comin''to bed?"
20714At last people began to inquire,"Well, ai n''t he comin''?"
20714At the end of the meal the minister asked:--"Have you a Bible in the house?"
20714Bark y''r knuckle?"
20714Ben turned quickly,"Where?"
20714Bert, old fellow, are you there?"
20714Brann?"
20714Brother Councill, seen anything of the Elder?"
20714Brother Jennings, will you lead us in prayer?"
20714But oh, must you go?
20714But the horse-- is he gentle?"
20714But what can we do?
20714But what cared the drivers?
20714But what had you planned to do after your divorce?"
20714But you''ll come back?"
20714By- the- way, everybody I talked with to- day about leaving said,''What''s Lohr going to do with that girl?''
20714By- the- way, you''re a theolog, are n''t you?"
20714Ca n''t it go faster?
20714Ca n''t somethin''be done?
20714Ca n''t something be done for him?"
20714Ca n''t you see the way I do it?
20714Can you get along, mother?"
20714Come, now, what d''y''say?"
20714Cows milked?"
20714Did n''t he go home with Bensen?"
20714Did n''t the old lady have a time of it raisin''me?
20714Did the Galilean forbid love and joy?
20714Did you ask Grace?"
20714Did you get a chill?"
20714Did you want to see me?"
20714Dis goes troo de way it began, or we do n''t play-- see?"
20714Do n''t lay up this fit of temper against Sim-- will you?"
20714Do n''t make fun of him, will you?
20714Do n''t yo''want the minister to be sent for?"
20714Do n''t you think so?"
20714Do n''t you?
20714Do people still eat brown sugar?
20714Do you think I''ll get my divorce?"
20714Do you think I''ve got one foot in the grave?"
20714Emmy''s folks come yet?"
20714Expect to meet friends there?"
20714Far off a rooster gave a long, clear blast-- would it be answered in the barn?
20714Funny how things go, ai n''t it?
20714Gideon Turner had the courage to pull up and call out, for the satisfaction of his wife:--"What''s going on here this fine morning?"
20714Goin''t''take y''r girl out, hey?"
20714Great scheme, that sociable, eh?
20714Hain''t you got no sense?
20714Have y''fled from the wrath?"
20714Have you been quarrelling again?
20714Have you done your share at being kind and patient?"
20714Have you seen Mott?"
20714He stopped in his dressing to say,"We''ve struck a great boarding- place, hey?"
20714He works like a fiend-- so does his wife-- and what is their reward?
20714He''s going to settle down here-- aren''t you, Albert?"
20714Her voice shook painfully as she replied:"You do n''t think I''m_ all_ bad?"
20714How are you?
20714How did it happen?"
20714How do we know what they feel?
20714How do you find yourself?"
20714How do you like that style of barb fence?
20714How goes it?"
20714How is he?"
20714How much did you have when you took her away from her good home an''brought her away out here among the wolves an''Indians?
20714How much do you need?"
20714I ai n''t a word of fault to find, have you, Bill?"
20714I like theatres, do n''t you?"
20714I s''pose you''ll move right in?"
20714I told''em I did n''t know; do you?
20714I wonder how they came to build a town without a row of battlemented stores?"
20714I wonder if ol''sorrel can pass''em?"
20714If Daddy was a young man--""What do you mean, sir?
20714If she comes, will you_ say_ you were_ part_ to blame?
20714If you want''o set dis community by de ears agin, you do dat ting-- see?
20714In such air, in such sun, who could die?
20714Is everybody satisfied?"
20714Is he awake?"
20714Is he gone out?"
20714Is n''t it still?
20714Is she pretty?"
20714Is your fever risin''?"
20714It must be time to go to dinner,--aren''t you ready to go?
20714It seems a hopeless sort of life, does n''t it?"
20714It''s Sunday, ai n''t it, ma?"
20714It''s awful to be a woman, do n''t you think so?
20714Jim?"
20714Joe Bent, a smallish man, with a weak, good- natured face, asked, in a hoarse whisper:"How is she, Mis''Ridings?"
20714Looking for a school, eh?
20714Lovely things to play with, are n''t they?"
20714Make it bucks?"
20714Marietty Bacon, ai n''t you an''Lime Gilman goin''t''be married?"
20714Mattie cried out to her mother, in quick, low voice,"Oh mother, how is he?"
20714Miss Welsh, will you attend the festivity of the evening under my guidance and protection?"
20714Mother sick?"
20714Mrs. Welsh exclaimed,"what are you doing?"
20714Narrow the road that leads to light, and broad the way that leads-- how''s your soul anyway, brother?"
20714Not Joe?"
20714Now look here-- how''s this?
20714Now the question is, can you find a place for me?"
20714Now, why do you talk so t''me when I want t''git-- when Lime comes and asks for me?"
20714Oh, Marthy, I never thought I''d come to this-- did you?
20714Oh, Marthy, what''ll become o''them?
20714Oh, when can I go?"
20714Once her husband said,"What''s the matter?
20714One of the group, the one cuffed last, sniffed out, in rage and grief:--"He''s in the corn- field; where''d ye s''pose he was?"
20714Or even to the best of these farmers?"
20714Pill, how de do?
20714Pill?"
20714Say, do you, now?"
20714Say, old man, did you ever work out for a living?"
20714Say, you''re a good one, you are?
20714Shall I put down the curtain?"
20714Shall I tell her you feel to blame?"
20714She did n''t need to go there every day or two, did she?
20714She often spoke of him, and on the following Saturday night, when Field came home, she anxiously asked,"Is Williams in town?"
20714She resented his classing her with the rest, but she simply said:"You despise me, do n''t you?
20714She told her husband about Williams, and ended by asking,"Ca n''t we do something to help the poor fellow?"
20714She was completely dressed, even to her hat and shoes, but she mourned:--"My hair is every- which- way; Lime, how can I be married so?"
20714Shellberg?"
20714So you''re goun''to git married, hey?"
20714Something in Milton''s voice led him to ask soberly:--"What did you intend doing with''em?"
20714Suddenly he said, as if with an involuntary determination:--"Where ye go''n''to stay t''night?"
20714Suppose there is n''t any hereafter?"
20714The best he could do, as Bacon shuffled calmly out, was to stammer:"Will some one please sing?"
20714The man ate his breakfast in dead silence, till at last Bob ventured to say:--"What makes ma ac''so?"
20714The next that he heard was a curious soft murmur of voices, out of which a sweet, agonized girl- voice broke:"Oh, where''s the doctor?
20714The woman with the children inquired for the tenth time,"Is the next station Lodi?"
20714The world was all bright then-- wasn''t it?
20714Then he asked,"Who is the yoong mon?"
20714Then, feeling the force of his tender tone, she added:"Will you behave, and go right off to your work?"
20714There was a weary droop in her voice; she seemed aware of it, and said more brightly:"You mean Madison, I suppose?"
20714They all drew up noisily, and Allen said:"Ask the blessing, sir?"
20714They do n''t run freight such nights as this?"
20714They''ve been a comfort to y''?
20714Think it''s going to clear up?"
20714Turner?"
20714Upon whom does the burden of guilt lie?"
20714Want another?"
20714Want some breakfast?
20714Was n''t that a narrow escape?"
20714We used to string sweet- williams on spears of grass-- don''t you remember?"
20714Were you reading?"
20714What about Merry Etty?"
20714What am I to do?"
20714What are you doing?"
20714What brings you here?"
20714What could he say to them?
20714What did he always receive her in his private office for?
20714What do the women do out here?"
20714What do we know of their capacity for enjoyment of art and music?
20714What do y''s''pose, you numskull?"
20714What do you think you can do by crowding on top of him?"
20714What good would it do me to go to school another year?
20714What have you saved from the general land- slide?"
20714What in thunder do we care?
20714What in thunder you foolun''round about hyere in seed''n''?
20714What is the world of art, of music, of literature, to these poor devils,--to Sim Burns and his wife there, for example?
20714What kind of a school?"
20714What makes ye gig back?
20714What seems the matter?"
20714What should she say to the desperate woman?
20714What the devil you standin''there for?"
20714What was he that he could dogmatize on eternal life and the will of the Being who stood behind that veil?
20714What you doin''out such a day as this?
20714What''ll he do now?"
20714What''re you thinking of?
20714What''s been going on here since my absence?"
20714What''s come over him?"
20714What''s the inducement?
20714What''s the matter-- sick?"
20714What''s the matter?"
20714What''s the rush?
20714What''s y''r objection to me fer a son- in- law?"
20714What, cryin''?
20714What_ have_ you done?"
20714What_ is_ the matter o''you?"
20714When did you come down?"
20714When did you come?"
20714When he came back again, the brakeman said to Albert, in a hesitating way:"Ai n''t going t''stop off long, I s''pose?"
20714When is our train due?"
20714When?
20714Where y''goin''t''take me, anyhow?"
20714Where''d you learn all that, anyway?"
20714Where''s Ben Holly''s claim?"
20714Where''s Ike?"
20714Which three?"
20714Who shall say they did not right?
20714Who''s been hurtin''my poor little bird?"
20714Why ai n''t you got that fire blazin''?
20714Why ca n''t you behave, when you know I''m jest about dead?"
20714Why did n''t you let me know?"
20714Why did n''t you send for me before?"
20714Why did n''t you telegraph me at Marion?
20714Why do n''t ye nail''i m?
20714Why not come right up to my boarding- place, and to- morrow I''ll introduce you?
20714Why not put it off fifteen or twenty years?"
20714Why should Williams study her husband''s hands?
20714Why should he work in this choking dust and deafening noise while the hawks could sail and sweep from hill to hill with nothing to do but play?
20714Why this change from Racine?"
20714Why?"
20714Will you do it?
20714Will you?"
20714Wo n''t you let me help you,_ wo n''t_ you?"
20714You ai n''t sorry y''had them?
20714You ai n''t sorry you had''em?"
20714You believe in getting at truth?"
20714You ca n''t expect us to live with men we hate, can you?
20714You do n''t?
20714You know how kind o''lily- livered Lawyer Ransom is?
20714You see, they need a man around the house, so we-- You''ll come, wo n''t you, old fellow?
20714You understand?"
20714You would n''t have me wipe it_ six_ times a day, would you?"
20714_ Ca n''t_ you hurry?"
20714ca n''t you-- you young''uns, give me a minute''s peace?
20714called a breathless, hearty voice,"what the deuce y''been doing with my pardner?
20714he rasped out,"you lazy vagabon''s?
20714that you?"
20714there''s a sociable to- morrow night; I guess we''d better go, had n''t we?"
20714why do n''t the man work all night?
20714wo n''t ye never learn how to turn a hawg?
43465''Haud yer jaw,''answered the first;''think ye they keep a pack of young hounds like this to point free rangers? 43465 ''How''d they get at it, man?''
43465Am I a squatter?
43465And pray, most valiant knight of Ireland,answered Arthur,"where are your weapons of warfare?"
43465And the daisies?
43465And what does Emma do in the wilderness?
43465Are all assembled?
43465Are there any hopes? 43465 Are we to turn up our watering- river?"
43465Arthur, what shall we do?
43465But are you not afraid of the bush- rangers being attracted by your valuable storehouse?
43465But are your retainers spread about the estate?
43465But how shall we bring back the supplies to the camp?
43465But is not this bird believed to be the harbinger of storms?
43465But it''s safe to eat?
43465But might not Wilkins go?
43465But surely, Margaret,answered Emma,"you are not speaking of the graceless convict, Wilkins?
43465But the bush- rangers,said Margaret;"are you not ever in fear of the crafty, vindictive bush- rangers?"
43465But what possible use can the misguided man have for money in a wilderness among savages?
43465But what shall I do with the boy,he said,"when my duties summon me to distant lands?
43465But, Gerald, is it not somewhat unkind to form so hasty a judgment?
43465But, Margaret,replied he,"how can you hope that we shall ever be able to traverse the vast space that must separate us?
43465But, my poor mistaken man,said Mr. Mayburn,"what in the world can these savages do with money in this houseless wilderness?"
43465Can anybody extract sense from the exclamations of this wild girl?
43465Can it be possible,asked Margaret,"that we are really so near to Daisy Grange that the animals scent it?"
43465Can not we both work and wait on you? 43465 Can we not set out now?"
43465Can we not show them a light?
43465Could n''t I steal among the trees and get a peep at them?
43465Could n''t we carry the canoes forward awhile? 43465 Could n''t we drop pebbles, as Hop- o''-my- Thumb did?"
43465Could we not plant potatoes here?
43465Deverell, I conclude?
43465Did n''t I tell you, Master Gerald,said Ruth,"that it were a sin and a shame to make them things as would rive folks''flesh?"
43465Did the police really get hold of her, nurse?
43465Did you ever learn your Catechism, Davy?
43465Did you see me shoot the eagle, papa?
43465Do you conceive, Wilkins, that the river is really the safest course?
43465Do you fancy our little troop could drive all that lot of fellows before us like a flock of sheep? 43465 Do you mean us to set out fasting with these malignant scoundrels?"
43465Do you not think, papa,answered Margaret,"that you are partly responsible for his mischievous follies?
43465Do you remember how we used to feed the handsome fellow with bits of bread on the voyage? 43465 Do you think Peter is with them?"
43465Do you think so, my very dear friend?
43465Do you think they came from the mainland?
43465Do you think, Mr. Arthur,said Jack,"they will be leaving any of the canoes behind them?
43465Gerald, you rash fellow,cried Arthur,"what has induced you to such a wild frolic?
43465Had we not better flee without delay?
43465Has a duck four legs, Ruth?
43465Has it fur on its back, and a broad finny tail? 43465 Have you no better prog than this poor stuff?"
43465How did this happen, Hugh?
43465How many legs have they, Master Hugh?
43465Hugh, my boy, are you hurt?
43465I am almost afraid to suggest it,said Mr. Mayburn;"but why should we leave this lovely, tranquil valley?
43465I am glad they are in such good hands,answered Deverell;"but however did my shepherd meet with you?"
43465I conclude, boys, that you have found some other outlet from the cave; but how could you risk discovery for the sake of these birds?
43465I see no entrance,said Hugh,"is it possible that it is inhabited?"
43465If you please, Mr. Charles,said Jack,"do you think Mr. Edward has any tools?"
43465If you please, Mr. Deverell,said Jenny,"yon''s a bonnie flock of geese; could n''t ye get us one for a roast?"
43465Is n''t it a pity to hurry t''poor master over these weary commons and fells? 43465 Is that Susan Raine?"
43465Is that the pretty, modest Susan, that was our fellow- voyager?
43465Is''t a duck, think ye, Miss Marget?
43465It is plain they have no means of crossing the river,said Arthur;"but, Wilkins, what can have induced them to return from the mountains?"
43465It''s very nice, Miss Marget,answered Jenny;"but do n''t you think we should be better of a change of meat?
43465Margaret, what do you say to this plan?
43465Nay, nay, lass, what need for folks to bury tea and sugar?
43465Now, Captain Arthur,cried out Hugh,"please to say where we are, and whither we are to go?"
43465Now, Gerald,said Margaret,"I beseech you to tell me what is the meaning of all this alarm?"
43465Now, nurse, what will you have?
43465Oh, Jack, man, let me be,cried she;"did n''t thou see''t?
43465Please, sir, have you plenty of timber?
43465Poor creature,said Mr. Mayburn;"can we not restore her to her people, Wilkins?
43465See, here''s six eggs they''ve laid; is n''t that some good? 43465 T''boats is safe; and what say ye if we be off?
43465Thank God you are not much worse; so what have you to cry about now?
43465Thanks, Harris; but tell me, is all well at the Grange?
43465Then surely we may climb the woods at the side?
43465Then what shall we do, Wilkins? 43465 There is Davy, who seems honest, could we not trust him to conduct us and our two poor women to our friends the Deverells?"
43465There''s some sense in that,answered the man;"but when ye''ve gotten your boat fettled up, what port would ye be making for?"
43465These sailors are strangers; why do you class them as rogues?
43465They held spears in their hands, I saw,said Gerald;"I wonder why they did not send a few among us?"
43465They''ll eat us all, Jack; and, oh, what will Jenny say? 43465 Unfortunate girl,"said Mr. Mayburn,"have you lost your senses, or what have you done?
43465Wait a bit; here''s a storm ower our heads; or, if ye want work, what say ye to sinking yon bit pond a foot deeper? 43465 Was Bill with''em, sir?"
43465Well, Patrick,said Deverell to one of the men,"what is the jest that you seem to enjoy so much?"
43465Well, papa, what bird is it?
43465What can we do, Gerald?
43465What do we want with women and lads?
43465What do you think of our game- bag, General Arthur?
43465What do you think, Mr. Arthur, of one of those big oyster or mussel shells? 43465 What does papa say?
43465What does the wild boy mean, Arthur?
43465What has become of our raft?
43465What have we to fear, Jack?
43465What in the world is that before us, Arthur?
43465What is a_ jin_, Wilkins?
43465What is that fluttering sound I hear?
43465What must I do? 43465 What say you, Arthur,"asked Hugh,"will your excellency permit two of your humble servants to set out on an exploring expedition?"
43465What shall we do, Wilkins?
43465What think you of that, Mr. Arthur? 43465 What was the cause of your accident, unhappy man?"
43465What will Margaret say?
43465What would they do here? 43465 What would you advise, Arthur?"
43465What''s a few savages? 43465 When are we to dine-- or sup, rather-- commander?"
43465Where are they? 43465 Where are we to get the pebbles?"
43465Where can the fellow mean to steer to?
43465Where hast thou been? 43465 Where next?"
43465Where shall I stand, Wilkins?
43465Whither can we flee to avoid these desperate cannibals?
43465Whither shall we flee?
43465Who calls fire?
43465Who dares to say that?
43465Who has moved them stones?
43465Who is killed? 43465 Who will be the safest?
43465Who would be the fools then?
43465Why, what''s the good of that?
43465Why, you Irish blunderer,replied Hugh,"whoever heard that either dragon or enchanter could be overcome by powder and shot?
43465Will they be Christians, Master Gerald?
43465Will they burn us alive, Miss Marget?
43465Will they have oughts of cash with them?
43465Will we plant some? 43465 Would it not be an idle and useless existence, papa?"
43465Would you mind about having the nest and egg of that fellow, sir?
43465Yet have I not a greater aid?
43465Yet why dare I doubt?
43465''Dost thee think they''ve got wings to flee down?''
43465And have these comrades of thine any cash or stuff worth lifting?
43465And now, Arthur, do n''t you think our citadel is in danger?"
43465And this might be a rose, with its slender stem, and pale- pink wax- like petals-- is it not a_ Boronea_, Arthur?
43465And wo n''t Margaret think us a set of poltroons?"
43465And you, my dear Edward-- would it not be also desirable that you should bring some lady suitable to you to this pleasant abode?
43465And,"with an oath,"Wilkins, man, how came you to drop in among these saints?"
43465Are we not proud of our captain?"
43465Arrah, did n''t them rogues see that when they came kidnapping?
43465Arthur shuddered as he said,"Is that narrow terrace passable, do you think, Gerald?"
43465Arthur, what do you say?
43465Arthur, what do you say?"
43465Arthur, what do you say?"
43465Arthur, will you, with your usual prudence, decide which way we shall turn?
43465Arthur?"
43465Arthur?"
43465At last Hugh said,--"Is n''t it a capital chance for us, Arthur, that the great drove of cattle are before the keen- eyed rangers?
43465At length, she called out from her berth,"Nurse, are you awake?
43465Ay, their track runs upward; what say ye, Mr. Arthur, are we to follow it?"
43465But I say, what''s yon black bit?"
43465But are we not some miles from those threatening savages now, Arthur?"
43465But can we cross at once?
43465But can we make up our minds to part with our tried and faithful friend?
43465But could we not hide in this thick wood?
43465But if they have him, as it were, in prison, what do you say, Mr. Arthur, should n''t we help him?"
43465But it''s God will, and, please Him, we must all do our best; we shall be missed here; and oh, Miss Marget, what will come of poor Ruth Martin?
43465But ought we not all to depart?
43465But the question arose,"Where did this bull come from?"
43465But what is this white, chalky- looking material by the pool?
43465But where are you mounting now?"
43465But where can their den be?
43465But where''s he slunk?''
43465But why has Hugh climbed that almost perpendicular cliff?"
43465But, Captain Deverell, whatever are we to do with these prisoners?"
43465But, now, my boy, we must try to find the end of this wonderful maze-- who knows but what it may lead to liberty?"
43465Can we possibly repair them, Jack?
43465Can you walk as far, papa?"
43465Could it not be attempted, Arthur?"
43465Could n''t we go out now, Arthur?
43465Could we not go out to the reefs, Arthur, and look for it?"
43465Deverell?"
43465Did you ever hear such a noise-- laughing, braying, trumpeting?
43465Did you see that stringy bark tree just at hand, Mr. Arthur?
43465Do n''t I hear it trickling beneath that bright turf, and wo n''t we soak our boots well, my dears?"
43465Do n''t you think so, Wilkins?"
43465Do you not think that I should begin at once, by recalling my boys to their daily studies?"
43465Do you think it could possibly be from some station?
43465Do you think they will murder him?"
43465Do you yet see the enemy, Gerald?"
43465Edward Deverell held out one of them to Jenny, saying,"Now, my good woman, can you tell me what this fowl is?"
43465Even the hardened convict lowered his voice as he said, with levity, to Jack,"That was a canny bit prayer; will''it help us ony, think ye?"
43465Had we not better cut some spears as we make our way, that we may be prepared to slay the dragons?"
43465Had you sense to fetch a compass?"
43465Has not Jack transformed a flint- stone into an axe?
43465Have the rogues spared poor Lily, David?
43465Have we got so near the squatters, Wilkins?"
43465Have ye fetched our beast back?"
43465Have you any idea what islands these are?"
43465Have you not rather turned it to evil?"
43465Here''s been four on''em; and look ye here, what call ye them tracks?
43465How are they to be stowed?"
43465How came you here?
43465How can you and I penetrate forests, climb mountains, or cross mighty rivers?"
43465How is it, Master Arthur?
43465How is the castle provisioned, Jenny?"
43465How shall we contrive it, Emma?"
43465Hugh, my boy,"said Gerald,"did n''t I know all the time that it was my moans and groans that made you turn soft and sob like a girl?
43465I am but the barren fig- tree, and continually I hear that awful sentence ringing in my ear,''Cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?''"
43465I say, Arty, have n''t I got my share?"
43465I say, Ruth, what do you think of them?"
43465Is David Simple with you?
43465Is it because we''re atop of the water?"
43465Is it safe to venture from this quiet retreat yet?
43465Is there any mode left us to escape, do you think, Wilkins?"
43465Is there any sense in sending up a smoke to let''em see where we are?"
43465Is this truly human nature, papa?"
43465It''s a snug, cunning hole; will''t be t''p''lice office, think ye?''
43465Know you not that for all these things God will bring you to judgment?"
43465Loud and angry words were heard, which Baldabella interpreted to be,--"What for white men come here?
43465Margaret looked intently for some time in silence; then, turning to her brother, she said,"Are those figures we see really birds, Arthur?"
43465Master Hugh, honey, is it that good- to- nought Black Peter?"
43465May we not hope it indicates the situation of another river?"
43465Must I knock it down?"
43465Now Heaven has sent you to us, may I not, then, venture to hope that you are ours for life?"
43465Now the question was, who would venture on this frail float the first?
43465Now what think ye of that, sir?"
43465Now, Hugh, after you heard the gun?"
43465Now, how are we to get hold of him?
43465Now, what for did we come in a merchantman, as quiet and dull as a quaker?
43465Now, which of these roads shall we take?
43465Oh, Mr. Arthur, have you not found them?"
43465Ought we not to rejoice?"
43465Ruth, how do the cocks and hens like this weather?"
43465Ruth, would you not like to be Mr. Deverell''s poultry- woman?"
43465See and aim to do some damage-- d''ye hear?"
43465Shall we then at once set out on our important expedition?"
43465Tell t''master I''se nought like so bad but that there''s some hopes of me, if Sue will take up wi''me; but how can I look for''t?"
43465The fire has just reached the tallow hogsheads, man, and where will your ship be then?
43465The important question is, who cut it?"
43465The voice and the extraordinary phraseology were familiar to the Mayburns, and Hugh cried out,"What, Bill, is that you?
43465They''re all broken, and what will Jenny say to me?"
43465Was n''t it a capital shot, Hugh?"
43465We''se be sure to have winter at some end; and had n''t we better bide here a bit till it''s past?"
43465Well, Davy, how are they getting on?"
43465Well, then, what are ye bound after in this queer craft?
43465What ails ye, you simpleton?
43465What are they about now, Hugh?"
43465What are we to do?
43465What are you going to do with these spars?"
43465What are you staring round in that fashion for?"
43465What can these ardent boys find to interest and amuse them in the arid and enfeebling plains of India?"
43465What could I do but just skirl and run?
43465What do you say, Arthur?"
43465What do you say, papa?"
43465What do you say?
43465What do you see?
43465What is yon fellow?
43465What like was she ye talked on, Miss?"
43465What say you, Margaret?"
43465What shall we do?
43465What think ye if we stirred from here?
43465What think you, sir, about it?"
43465What will become of Margaret and papa?"
43465What would become of us if any of these dangers assailed us?
43465What would you say, man, to a ball right through your ugly head?"
43465What''s come to t''lass now?"
43465Whatever can it be?
43465When Arthur saw this, he called out,"Haul taught and belay the ropes; and now, how shall we convey the weak to the shore, Wilkins?"
43465Where are your guns to pour down destruction on the foe, Master Gerald?"
43465Which of these puzzling alleys did we come through?"
43465Who is he?
43465Who''s to work''em?"
43465Why should we doubt?
43465Why should we not erect a simple hut, and dwell here in peace, abundance, and contentment, without toil and without care?
43465Why will men become hunters from mere wantonness?"
43465Wilkins stared at the enthusiastic naturalist, and, turning to Arthur, said,"Does he want us to land among them reefs, think ye?
43465Wilkins, my good man, do you think we are quite safe?"
43465Will I send an arrow among them, Arty?"
43465Will it be right, Margaret, to remove you and my promising boys from country, society, and home, perhaps even from civilization?"
43465Will this do, my lord?"
43465Will ye just say?
43465Will you go on deck with me for a few minutes?
43465Will you take up your whip and set off with our beasts to the station?"
43465Wilson?"
43465Wo n''t she get into some wonderful scrapes, Hugh?"
43465Would it be right to kill them?"
43465Would n''t we drub them like British heroes as we are?"
43465Would you mind guiding me; and Wilkins, may be, will go with us, to help me to carry down my ropes?"
43465Ye ken a deal of things, Miss Marget; can ye say what Peter was seeing afore him, when he yelled out, fleeing down into that black hole?"
43465You and I are pretty stout; can we not leave these feeble folks here, and go on to search for some relief for them?"
43465and have we not cups and plates which were once the abodes of the shell- fish?
43465and what miracle can have brought us together once more in these strange and wild mountains?"
43465and where is he?"
43465and who''s seen thee?"
43465answered Hugh,"and how could we find them again, man, among this brush?
43465asked Arthur, in a hurried tone:"and where is Gerald?"
43465can you get any water for poor Gerald?"
43465cried Mr. Mayburn,"why will you provoke the wrath of God by causing desolation and slaughter among his glorious works?
43465did you hear a rustling?"
43465exclaimed Ruth, weeping;"and could you have a heart to kill the poor dumb creatures as have lived wi''us so long?
43465from which he derives his name, and which sounds so strangely when mingled with the notes of the warblers?
43465half of our biggest rogues_ did_ know good from evil; and what of that?
43465it''s a grand thing to see, master,"said Wilkins;"but how are we to get out on our fix?
43465master, is''t true-- is''t a burning mountain?"
43465must we aim for it?"
43465my friend, what will you please to be looking after?"
43465not to feel that there must be a spiritual Ruler of the universe?"
43465said Mr. Mayburn,"how did it happen, my good lad, that you fell into the hands of that abandoned man?"
43465said Ruth,"did n''t I tell ye she were uncanny?
43465shrieked Ruth;"and my bonnie hens, and them poor pigeons?"
43465they''d kick these few shaking clogs to bits in no time: and then where are we?"
43465what are you about to do?
43465what has become of Arthur?''
43465what is our next step?"
43465what is the new discovery?"
43465what noise do I hear?"
43465what''s this?''
43465where is Wilkins, Jack?"
43465where''s I to get mair?"
43465whither shall we flee?
43465why is not Margaret with you?''"
40467''Drive the wagon into deep water, Uncle?'' 40467 ''Gone?''
40467''Got yer grub and thet shooter?'' 40467 ''I''m to drive''em over?"
40467''Whar''s the ford start?'' 40467 ''You?''
40467A smith, and-- here, what''s the matter with the lad? 40467 Aer yer crazy, Steve?"
40467Aer you a passenger?
40467Ai n''t yer got ready?
40467And had enough to eat?
40467And him? 40467 And how''ll yer move?"
40467And it''s like the impression?
40467And leave you? 40467 And now?"
40467And supposing they do n''t come along?
40467And t''other fellow?
40467And that''ere scaramouch beside it?
40467And the Indians?
40467And the back, mate?
40467And the other?
40467And then?
40467And then?
40467And then?
40467And what about you, Steve?
40467And what is that?
40467And why?
40467And why?
40467And yer did n''t want help?
40467And yer was upside down, so ter speak?
40467And you wo n''t take a grip of my neck and let me lift you?
40467And you?
40467Anything amiss?
40467Business?
40467Busy?
40467But I suppose many boys are to be found with the mule teams as young as that?
40467But the conductor?
40467But then, what''d be the use? 40467 But why give them a chance?"
40467But why? 40467 But,"argued Abe,"ef that''s the case, why have they waited?
40467But-- but how on airth did yer get thar, up in the lantern?
40467Dead?
40467Dead?
40467Did I hear someone say it was not there? 40467 Did n''t I say as I howled with pain when the flint struck me?
40467Did n''t I say as much?
40467Did n''t I say so?
40467Did n''t I tell yer to be goin''?
40467Do I look as if I could do anything?
40467Do yer smoke, young''un?
40467Do yer want a job?
40467Do you think he''ll see us easy as we lie here?
40467Do you think they''ll come to find him?
40467Ever pulled a trigger afore?
40467Exact?
40467Find it comfortable in thar?
40467Fit as ever, youngster?
40467Foxin''? 40467 Got much over thar?"
40467Got time ter do a little bit for me?
40467Here, what''s this?
40467How about California? 40467 How aer yer?"
40467How much?
40467How''d yer come out of that''ere business? 40467 How''ll you manage the bars?
40467How''s luck?
40467How?
40467How?
40467How?
40467Howdy, Seth? 40467 Howdy, stranger?"
40467I suppose they found those two men and then had a palaver, as you call it?
40467Is there anyone else whom you suspect of complicity in the escape?
40467Jest like that, aer it?
40467Kin yer see the fire?
40467Kin yer shoot?
40467Kin you tackle the lot alone, Tom?'' 40467 Kinder surprised at the look of us, eh?"
40467Man or woman?
40467Me?
40467Nor ride?
40467Now, where are the others?
40467Or what?
40467Ought he to follow? 40467 Say, did yer feel it fly?"
40467Say, now, yer ai n''t feelin''quite so bad? 40467 Say, siree, who may yer be, and where aer yer goin''?
40467Shot?
40467So Lord Tom''s dead? 40467 Soft?"
40467Supposing the wind does turn?
40467Sure? 40467 Tell me, was he ever a miner?
40467Thar was more down thar then?
40467That is when we heard their cries, I suppose?
40467The time? 40467 Then why not get to at it?"
40467Then you finished''em?
40467Then you got back to the ranches?
40467Then you think we are to be attacked?
40467There was a critter thar, war there?
40467They attacked that night?
40467They tried their little game in the morning? 40467 They''ll follow?"
40467This Tusker Joe, he war the man? 40467 To dig?"
40467Wall, what become of the rest? 40467 Wall?"
40467Wall?
40467Wall?
40467Wall?
40467Warn''t I right?
40467We was goin''fast, I guess? 40467 Well, now,"he exclaimed, somewhat feebly, for his tongue seemed to be heavily loaded,"where on earth am I?
40467Well? 40467 Whar was you?"
40467Whar''s the hit?
40467Whar? 40467 What about the Injuns?"
40467What aer it all about? 40467 What do yer boys thar think of doin''?
40467What had come along to upset this here man so? 40467 What happened?"
40467What in thunder aer he come along fer? 40467 What in thunder did it all mean?"
40467What is it?
40467What name, please?
40467What''ll yer do?
40467What''s amiss?
40467What''s that?
40467What''s this? 40467 When does she start?"
40467Where away?
40467Who said there was any gulling?
40467Who''s the other? 40467 Why no use?"
40467Why?
40467With Injuns round about?
40467Would your best friend be able to recognize you any better than mine would be?
40467Ye''ve killed him-- eh? 40467 Yer bolted again?"
40467Yer give that feller pepper?
40467Yer got back ter the camp without more fighting?
40467Yer hear the critters?
40467Yer killed him?
40467Yes?
40467You aer thinkin''that boy''s innocent?
40467You are sure it is there, ai n''t yer, friends?
40467You called him that?
40467You think they will soon find us, now they know we are in the wood?
40467You were held up by a gang of robbers?
40467You''ve struck it, eh? 40467 ''Aer yer ready, Bill?'' 40467 ''Clean slick across?'' 40467 ''Does it run straight over thar from whar we''re standin'', or whar in thunder does it begin?'' 40467 ''Whar is he?'' 40467 ''What am I ter do?'' 40467 ''What thin?'' 40467 ''Who aer they?'' 40467 ''You''ve been up thar on the ledge?'' 40467 A bit shook up and so on? 40467 A kind of ambush?
40467Aer it all true what he says?
40467Aer it true as you stood beside him through thick and thin?"
40467Aer yer a fool?"
40467Aer yer afraid?"
40467Aer yer got yer knife, lad?"
40467Aer yer sure ye''ve hid up them hosses?"
40467Aer yer sure?
40467Aer yer there?
40467Aer you game ter listen?"
40467Ai n''t I warned yer?
40467Ai n''t that someone movin''?"
40467And ef he was, do yer think I should n''t have spotted it, with him under my eyes day and night?"
40467And had he done so, is it possible that he could still have persevered in his error?
40467And have you any news as to the direction he took?"
40467And he managed to wing yer?"
40467And how''s he ter prove his innocence when he''s cooped up within four walls?
40467And how?"
40467And then what do yer think he did?"
40467And this is the son?
40467And whar does he make for?"
40467And what has been happening?
40467And what sort of a load have yer got, mate?"
40467And why should he walk farther on this particular occasion?
40467And yer could have boarded that as easy as possible?
40467And you?"
40467And, by the way, what''s the name?"
40467Anyone the wuss?"
40467Boy, aer you game ter fight''em?''
40467But better, ai n''t yer?"
40467But what''s the use?
40467But why did the man need that key?
40467Can you hold anything, Steve?"
40467Consider; what are they here for?
40467Could you recognize that''ere chap as came to the forge for the key?"
40467Dead, is he?"
40467Did he actually recognize the young man sitting there apparently so cool, and yet in reality quaking?
40467Did he open that''ere huge mouth of his once we was off?
40467Did he see suspicion there?
40467Did he talk to our mates afore we left the hill?
40467Did he work in these parts some few years ago, and was he notorious for anything in particular?"
40467Did the rascal wing yer?"
40467Did yer get the key?"
40467Did yer hear that?
40467Did yer hear that?"
40467Do I believe you did it?"
40467Do yer foller what happened?"
40467Do yer foller?"
40467Do yer hear them calls?
40467Do yer hear''em?"
40467Do yer know the reason?"
40467Do yer remember the store of scrap, back of the smithy?
40467Do yer see anything, Abe?"
40467Do yer see what I''m drivin''at?"
40467Do yer think as they ai n''t thought of a dash?
40467Do yer think he did as I told him?
40467Ef he comes close, what''ll you do?"
40467Ef that ai n''t clear, what is?"
40467Eh?
40467Eh?"
40467Eh?"
40467Eh?"
40467Eh?"
40467Eh?"
40467Feel a bit queerish?
40467Got much dust yerself?"
40467Had any food?"
40467Have yer ever been dead down on yer luck, right clean hard up agin it?"
40467He did the shootin''?"
40467He''s dead too?"
40467Heard it?"
40467How aer yer off for brass?"
40467How do I see anythin''wrong?
40467How do yer look at the proposition?"
40467How long is it sence your chums left fer the settlement?"
40467How much?"
40467How''d it all come about?
40467How''d yer like ter try a shot at''em?"
40467How''d yer manage?"
40467How''s that?"
40467How''s the arm?"
40467How?"
40467Howdy, Steve?"
40467I can kinder count on you?"
40467I suppose the water drained from mountains right over there?"
40467I wonder if----""Got it ready, youngster?"
40467I wonder what made yer think of that?"
40467If I got to shooting this man, where, then, should I be able to obtain evidence of my own innocence?
40467If he had broken the key of his own front door, and so locked himself out, how had he been able to get the impression from the drawer?
40467If this stranger needed a man, why should he, Jack, not accept the post?
40467Is he dead?"
40467Is it probable that he would have thrown himself upon a defenceless youth?
40467Is that not very suggestive of prisoner''s complicity in this crime?
40467Is the wound severe?"
40467Jack, aer yer willing ter do what I suggest?"
40467Jest quit foolin''?"
40467Kin yer guess why?''
40467Met him on the road?"
40467Now what on earth is the meaning of that?"
40467Now, how aer we to get top side of''em?"
40467Now, whar is it?
40467Now, what aer yer going ter do?"
40467Now, what''s ter be done?
40467Number three coach?
40467Once and fer all, aer thar a one here as do n''t think I did it fair?
40467Or low, was it, seeing as you was kinder upside down?
40467Or was it the man himself?
40467Or was that only a morbid fancy?
40467Pain?
40467Perhaps you''ve got a bit of food ter spare, and a glass and a bottle?"
40467Ready?''
40467Savvy?
40467Savvy?
40467Savvy?"
40467Savvy?"
40467Savvy?"
40467Say, Simpkins, will yer come and have a bit of tea with us?
40467Say, ai n''t thet it?"
40467Say, boys, what do yer think''s the latest?
40467Say, stranger, whar do yer fetch the water from?
40467See him?
40467See?"
40467See?"
40467Short of money, lad?"
40467Should he cling to the back of the buggy and give the alarm when they reached the house?
40467Should he fire now?
40467Should he leave the matter?
40467So you''ll make for Californy?
40467So you''ve got that man at last, Carrots?
40467Suppose it''s a case fer the sheriff?"
40467That so?"
40467That''s clear?
40467The hull stockade war blown to matchwood, one would guess, and perhaps the shanty with it?
40467They did their best to draw yer out into the plains?"
40467Wall, aer that a stone?"
40467Wall, do it want decidin''what we aer ter do?"
40467Wall, how''s it ter be done, Tom?"
40467Wall, mates, what''s the tale?"
40467Wall, now, I suppose it is Simpkins that''s disturbed you?"
40467Wall, stranger, what''s amiss?"
40467Wall, what aer it?
40467Wall, what''ll yer do?
40467Wall, youngster, aer yer skeared?"
40467Wall?"
40467Was it a forest mouse, scared by the intruder creeping towards Jack with murderous intent?
40467Was it actually for his front door, and, if so, how did he obtain the wax impression?
40467Was that fair play?
40467Whar does it start, and whar does one have to turn?''
40467Whar have they gone?"
40467Whar''s best to go?"
40467Whar''s the strong box?
40467What are they going to do?"
40467What do yer think, Steve?"
40467What do you say?"
40467What else?"
40467What fer?"
40467What for?
40467What happened?
40467What happened?"
40467What is wrong?"
40467What might you be doin''?"
40467What right had they to interfere with them?
40467What say, Jacob?"
40467What sent them varmints back on their trail so onexpectedly?"
40467What war his partic''lar idea?
40467What will you do?"
40467What''ll you do?"
40467What''ll you do?"
40467What''s brought yer here?"
40467What''s he doin''?''"
40467What''s it all about, lad?
40467What''s it mean?''
40467What''s kept yer?"
40467What''s that I said?
40467What''s the clock?"
40467What''s the driver say?"
40467What''s the news elsewhere?"
40467What''s the row been about?"
40467What''s the trouble?
40467Where am I?"
40467Where are you going, lad?"
40467Who could say?
40467Who will blame the young American that he hesitated to take life?
40467Who''ll come?''
40467Who''s the stranger?"
40467Why should he, Jack Kingsley, not be able to follow in their footsteps?
40467Why, therefore, should these natives of the plain so diligently seek to kill him and Steve?
40467Why, what''s happened?"
40467Will yer come?"
40467Will yer have it?"
40467Will you send for him?"
40467Would he stretch out his hand and take the prisoner?
40467Would you jest mind stepping along this way and handin''it over?
40467Ye''re dead sure he''s done?"
40467Ye''re sure of that?"
40467Yer agreed to them terms, in course?"
40467Yer ai n''t fer the plains?"
40467Yer ai n''t got no tools, perhaps?"
40467Yer do n''t call that wuss, do yer?"
40467Yer do n''t think I waited for''em, do yer?"
40467Yer ketched him a whop?
40467Yer know the game to play, Jacob?"
40467Yer might get wiped out, and then whar should I be?''
40467Yer was right aft thar, close to the truck, warn''t you?
40467Yer would n''t think it, now, would yer?
40467You said it was for the front door?"
40467You''re dead sartin he ai n''t foxin''?
40467aer yer there?"
40467fill it up, will yer?"
21055A cabin?
21055A discharged convict, was n''t he, Ainley?
21055A fall?
21055A raft?
21055Absurd, of course-- But what will you? 21055 Ah, then there is an encampment up here?"
21055And Gerald Ainley with another man camped within two miles of here two nights ago?
21055And Miskodeed was with you all the time?
21055And Miss Yardely?
21055And Mr. Ainley, what is he doing at Fort Malsun?
21055And if I get to Fort Malsun, do you think I shall escape the winter?
21055And if Indians, they may be friendly or otherwise?
21055And if the current took control, Mr. Stane? 21055 And no more shots were fired?"
21055And now tell me, have you seen that girl I asked you about since you saw her three days back?
21055And the other way? 21055 And the-- the man who is with me?"
21055And then you came after me?
21055And what do you do, if you will permit me to be so curious?
21055And when he comes you will lure him to take us to Fort Malsun?
21055And when we''ve got him?
21055And when you heard?
21055And where is Jean Bènard?
21055And which do you guess?
21055And who knows? 21055 And who may Upweekis be?"
21055And who said I was to die?
21055And why am I to be spared? 21055 And yet he did not appear to avoid you yesterday?"
21055And you could n''t?
21055And you did not take part in the fighting? 21055 And you wanted me to leave you to that?"
21055And you? 21055 Any evidence?"
21055Anything else on the forest visiting- list?
21055Are you Sir James Yardely''s niece, who was lost a few months ago?
21055Are you anxious to get rid of me?
21055Are you sure?
21055Are you sure?
21055But Helen?
21055But as you asked just now, why? 21055 But do you realize that they were probably, searching for you?"
21055But how----?
21055But if he lied?
21055But this is the way to Fort Winagog?
21055But we are going towards Fort Winagog?
21055But we shall fight them?
21055But what else can I do?
21055But what shall I live for?
21055But what white man would run away from us?
21055But where did you get it?
21055But where is the canoe?
21055But who can have done such a thing?
21055But who can have done such a thing?
21055But who pays?
21055But who-- and why should she come here only to run away?
21055But why did he shoot down Chigmok''s party?
21055But why discuss the affair? 21055 But why on earth should Helen go up there?"
21055But why should any one do a thing like that?
21055But why should he be afraid?
21055But why should he seek to kill me?
21055But why should she do that? 21055 But why should you be killed?"
21055But why should you take me there?
21055But you do not think so?
21055By the by, Stane, did you ever get to the bottom of that unfortunate affair of yours in England?
21055By the way, did you get any description of the man whom my niece was with?
21055Ca n''t we go on to Fort Winagog? 21055 Can you read the meaning of those signs?"
21055Can you shoot?
21055Comfortable, Helen?
21055Dey haf arrive?
21055Did n''t know me, Ainley? 21055 Did you find him?
21055Do n''t you know that? 21055 Do you feel equal to facing the possible danger, Miss Yardely?"
21055Do you mean he shot the girl?
21055Do you really think so?
21055Do you think I can rest with my heart jumping with excitement? 21055 Do you think a woman can not live without women?"
21055Do you think it is worth while?
21055Do you think we shall have to fight?
21055Fortunate, Mr. Stane? 21055 Hallo, Jean,"he cried,"are you going to leave us?"
21055Has he taken dogs?
21055Have I not said I do not know fully? 21055 Have I slept long?"
21055Have you seen anything yet, Jean?
21055Helen,he cried hoarsely,"do you know what you are saying?
21055Hold your tongue, ca n''t you?
21055How about Miskodeed?
21055How did it happen?
21055How did you manage to get me out?
21055How do you feel?
21055How do you know that, Joe?
21055How do you know that?
21055How does the hut go?
21055How far away?
21055How long will it last?
21055How long will it take us to reach the fort?
21055How soon do you take the trail to Paradise? 21055 How?
21055I have seen you before, have I not? 21055 I know not; belike he will take her for his squaw, or wherefore should he pay so great a price?"
21055I see you do not like the police, though I daresay they would like to meet you, hey?
21055I slipped and plunged right into a sort of crevasse, did n''t I?
21055I suppose that the other night when you were waiting for Mr. Ainley, it was on this particular matter that you wished to see him?
21055I suppose we are in a state of siege?
21055I wonder what our acquaintances would say if they knew everything about the crime for which Hubert Stane became a convict?
21055I wonder? 21055 I----""Have you been watching me all night?"
21055If thou liest----"Wherefore should I lie, since so much is already known to thee?
21055If you take me back----?
21055In prison?
21055Indeed,asked the other politely,"who was the exception?"
21055Indeed?
21055Is he the owner of our palace?
21055Is my lord displeased with the odours of the dinner that his servant prepares?
21055Is n''t it time he was here now, if he is coming?
21055Is that so?
21055Is that so?
21055It was important that you should?
21055It would be unwise,agreed Bènard, and then asked:"What is to be done to the white girl by the man who pays the price?"
21055Jean Bènard? 21055 Little sister, why did you run from me yesterday?"
21055May I reciprocate the hope, Miss Yardely?
21055Miskodeed?
21055Miss Yardely,cried Stane,"do you really mean what you say?"
21055Mr. Stane, what is the matter? 21055 Must we?"
21055My dear----"Oh then you know that I am that?
21055New to the district, are n''t you?
21055No, not in the sense you mean; but I am morally certain that-- but why worry about Stane? 21055 No?"
21055No?
21055Non? 21055 Not a very sociable sort, hey, Donald?"
21055Nothing the matter, I hope, Miss Yardely?
21055Of whom are you afraid?
21055Oh, I know it, do n''t I?
21055Oh, I know it, do n''t I?
21055Oh, the governor makes the tour, does he?
21055Perhaps he was afraid that the story would be told and that the mounters would seek out his trail, Chigmok?
21055Respite?
21055She is ver''beautiful; an''I watch her for zee pleasure, vous comprenez? 21055 Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to min''?
21055Surely you knew that just now?
21055Tell me one thing,she said,"when you arrived at the cabin the attack was quite over?"
21055Tell me where you got me? 21055 Tell me?"
21055That man----she said in a voice that had an edge like a knife,"tell me, is she thy squaw?"
21055The cur told?
21055The description is his, though it is a trifle vague and the monocle----"He affects a monocle still then?
21055The man he carry heavy weight when he make these, and the Klootchman she weigh, how much? 21055 The poacher''s way?"
21055Then I shall see him?
21055Then he is at the camp, after all?
21055Then in the morning we follow the mysterious one''s trail?
21055Then tell me what are you going to do with me?
21055Then thou wilt die for this bright- faced woman?
21055Then we are stranded?
21055Then we shall have to go back?
21055Then we shall not suffer eviction?
21055Then what does she in thy lodge?
21055Then where are you taking me?
21055Then who was it?
21055Then why are you waiting here?
21055Then why did we not meet them as we came down?
21055Then why not tell me?
21055Then you have not found my niece, Ainley?
21055Then you know, Miskodeed?
21055Then you swam for me?
21055Then,said the girl,"you are not sure?"
21055These words are the words of truth?
21055They-- who? 21055 This lake of the Little Moose, where is it?"
21055This man whom you promise me? 21055 To warn me?"
21055Up the other river?
21055Was it there the canoe overturned?
21055We have n''t,he answered thoughtfully,"but the next best thing, we could make, and----""What is that?"
21055Well?
21055What are you going to do with me?
21055What are you smiling at?
21055What chance was it?
21055What convinces you of that, Miss Yardely?
21055What could possibly be his reason for avoiding us?
21055What do you mean?
21055What do you think it is-- gold?
21055What do you think it means?
21055What do you think was the reason for your deportation?
21055What ees it, m''sieu?
21055What ees ze saying of your countrymen, p''liceman? 21055 What have you there, Miss Yardely?"
21055What in thunder are you gassing about?
21055What is his name?
21055What is it, Joe?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is it?
21055What is that?
21055What makes you think that?
21055What matter to you?
21055What means the attack upon my cabin?
21055What need?
21055What shall we do?
21055What she like?
21055What sort of a man was he? 21055 What sort of control shall we have over a raft?"
21055What that?
21055What was that? 21055 What was that?"
21055What was that?
21055What was the crime that knocked him out of things?
21055What was very queer?
21055What would life be without romance?
21055What you do, m''sieu?
21055When did I ever do the wise thing? 21055 When he went away he meant to return, or why did he leave his traps here?"
21055When? 21055 Where are you going to sleep?
21055Where are you staying?
21055Where did you find that paper, Stane?
21055Where did you get this, Stane?
21055Where does this go to?
21055Where go to?
21055Where is your double zee price? 21055 Where''s Jean Bènard?"
21055Where?
21055Which way did you come, Miss Yardely? 21055 Which you are to write, I suppose?"
21055Whither has the white maiden been carried?
21055Whither went he?
21055Who are you?
21055Who can it be?
21055Who in thunder can have done that?
21055Who is it?
21055Who is it?
21055Who is that?
21055Who was he?
21055Who was it? 21055 Who was the girl?"
21055Who was the man-- I mean the man who was with the girl in the canoe?
21055Who was the person with the knife? 21055 Who was this man?"
21055Who... who are you?
21055Whoever is it?
21055Whose order?
21055Why did you run away when I shouted a while back?
21055Why do you speak like that, Helen? 21055 Why not?"
21055Why should Indians attack us?
21055Why should n''t Helen have made her way straight back here?
21055Why-- why did you let them go?
21055Why?
21055Why?
21055Why?
21055Why?
21055Why?
21055Wild? 21055 Winagog?"
21055Wish me luck?
21055Would Miss Yardely''s canoe come through that?
21055Would it not be better, Bènard, if we removed our camp to the island? 21055 Would you like to hear Chigmok''s story, Ainley?"
21055Yes, yes, I understand,he cried,"but in that case where is she?"
21055Yes?
21055Yes?
21055Yes?
21055You are afraid that we shall not weather through by ourselves?
21055You are anxious to get away from here, then?
21055You are forgetting me, are n''t you?
21055You are going back?
21055You are going up the river?
21055You are very anxious to find this woman of mystery?
21055You believe some lying tale of Stane''s?
21055You brought it along then?
21055You did not mistake me for Moorseen( the black bear) or the bald- face grizzly, did you?
21055You do n''t doubt its correctness?
21055You have been working for a reward?
21055You have heard nothing?
21055You have not been up here in winter, have you, Miss Yardely?
21055You have seen her?
21055You have?
21055You heard that, Miss Yardely? 21055 You know who was in the tent?"
21055You live alone?
21055You mean that fellow whom you knew at Oxford, and who has since gone under?
21055You mean that he-- that he----?
21055You mean that some one tried to kill me?
21055You met no half- breed?
21055You not know me?
21055You not know?
21055You promise?
21055You really believe that?
21055You saw him shoot?
21055You saw him?
21055You saw him?
21055You say you were waiting for a man when you were seized, Mr. Stane; tell me, was the man Gerald Ainley?
21055You think I ought to have brought them up here?
21055You think I was justified in shooting down those three kidnappers then?
21055You think he will come back then?
21055You think he will get away?
21055You think so?
21055You think so?
21055You think that?
21055You think they are watching the cabin-- watching us, for a chance to attack?
21055You think we shall be dependent on their help?
21055You think? 21055 You thought he was a white man?"
21055You want me to tell?
21055You were about to say something?
21055You were about to say-- what?
21055You were saved from the river, somehow, by that fellow Stane, who was up at Fort Malsun, were you not?
21055You were saying something about my uncle? 21055 You wish I had revealed myself?"
21055You wished to see him very much?
21055You''ve got a mate?
21055You, Dandy?
21055Your Dandy Anderton, are n''t you?
21055Your uncle''s party had of course travelled some way since I left Fort Malsun?
21055Ainley?
21055Ainley?"
21055Ainley?"
21055An''I tak''you to anodder man----""You will what?"
21055An''zee mees where ees she?"
21055And as you say outside the wood it must be snowing heavily-- which way has he gone?"
21055And besides----""Yes?"
21055And if such were the case, and the maker of them was indeed a woman, what was she doing here, alone in the wilderness?
21055And thou?"
21055Are you ready?"
21055Are you sure?
21055Are you sure?"
21055Are you sure?"
21055Are you thinking of using them?"
21055As you and he were old acquaintances, what more natural than that you should be waiting for him?
21055Both the men watched her admiringly for a moment, and then Anderton asked:"Been up here long, Stane?"
21055But dat-- surely dat ees Chigmok?
21055But how did you escape?"
21055But how did you guess that?"
21055But how?
21055But if you will not tell me this tantalizing secret now, you will some time?"
21055But in that case why had they dealt with him after this fashion?
21055But in that case, she asked herself, why had the arrow been directed against her companion rather than herself?
21055But suppose the occasion came?
21055But there is nothing to prevent us taking possession until the owner returns, if he ever does, is there?"
21055But was that all you were thinking?"
21055But what if that were a lie, what if after all there had been no body, what if that, like the other things, was a fabrication?
21055But what''s the use?
21055But who was the white man who so chose his instruments for a deed from which apparently he himself shrank?
21055But why?"
21055But with zee storm, what can you do, m''sieu?"
21055CHAPTER XXII AINLEY''S STORY As Helen Yardely caught sight of Ainley''s face, for a moment she was dumb with amazement, then she cried:"You?
21055Can you understand that?"
21055Den zee dogs, dey give tongue when oder dogs appear, an''where are we?
21055Did he send you after me?"
21055Did he suspect who the intruder was?
21055Did n''t you know?"
21055Did you see anything?
21055Did you see him?"
21055Did you see how she looked at you?
21055Dis girl she ees mooch to you?"
21055Dis man half zee goods, an''you-- what haf you?"
21055Do n''t mind if I lapse into silence do you?
21055Do n''t you know me, old man?"
21055Do you know anything about it, Stane?
21055Do you not agree with me?"
21055Do you see, Jean?"
21055Do you understand?"
21055Do you?"
21055Down the main stream or the other one?"
21055Eees not dat so?"
21055Gerald Ainley?
21055Had the person who had made those footprints not been in the canoe when the owner had landed to pitch camp?
21055Have you seen her?"
21055Have you thought of that?"
21055He hinted his intention to me last night----""And you did not try to stop him?"
21055He is ze favourite, vous comprenez?"
21055He pays you to bring me to him?"
21055He took the coffee as she handed it to him in an enamelled mug, then he said:"How did you come to be adrift, Miss Yardely?"
21055He waited, saw wonder light them, then, in a voice that shook, the girl asked:"How did-- I-- come here?"
21055He----""I thought one of your men saw his body?"
21055He----""Who is this man?"
21055Hear the firing?
21055Her grey eyes looked at him carefully, noted his dripping clothes and dank hair, and then with sudden comprehension asked:"How did you get me?
21055How can I tell what ees in zee heart of heem?
21055How did you find me?"
21055How did you know it?
21055How did you know?"
21055How is your leg?"
21055How long can he last in this wilderness without?
21055I arrived there last night----""How long were you on the way?"
21055I ask myself-- whose order?
21055I believe that they have orders to the contrary, but----""Did Miskodeed tell you so?"
21055I guess you must be prospecting?"
21055I hope that you had no hand in this killing?"
21055I hope your leg is all right?"
21055I know that, but the question is-- how?
21055I reserve my defence-- that''s the proper legal thing to do, is n''t it?"
21055I shall try and make for the woods at the back, and if I get clear you shall follow me-- you understand?"
21055I suppose he did not come?"
21055I understand this Chigmok is what the Indians call a bad man-- but perhaps you know him?"
21055I wonder eef zee white mees, she knew?"
21055I wonder if that man is one of them?"
21055I wonder what our world would think of that confession?"
21055I wonder what thy name is?"
21055I''ve got eyes in my head, have n''t I?"
21055If I were the man who fired those shots why should I be spending my time looking for her as I am?"
21055If so, why had he so ruthlessly shot down the men who were his confederates?
21055If there had been nothing to be ashamed of in his relations with Miskodeed why had he not spoken openly of the incident in the wood?
21055If we land below the junction how can we meet a man who lands above?"
21055Is Jean Bènard the owner of the cabin?"
21055Is it possible that Stane escaped after all?
21055Is not that so?"
21055Is that it?"
21055Jarlock''s-- well, Jarlock denied it, and you owned that you----""He told?"
21055Know it?"
21055Mais-- I wonder-- why he shoot?
21055My uncle?
21055No it should never be said that he----"Why that dark scowl?"
21055Now why should that be?
21055Now you force me to tie you up, savvy?"
21055On which bank of the river was the camp?"
21055She ees here?"
21055Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days o''lang syne?"
21055Since heroism is your fetish, can you find nothing heroic in my labours, in my service?"
21055Someone with Jean Bènard?"
21055Stane did not pursue the argument, and a moment later his companion asked:"Do you think her pretty?"
21055Stane looked at her sharply, and then asked a question:"What are you thinking, Miss Yardely?"
21055Stane?"
21055Stane?"
21055Stane?"
21055Stane?"
21055Tell me, is she thy squaw?"
21055That is an order?"
21055That is the explanation, and now tell me, Miskodeed, is the woman to die?"
21055That is what you would say, is it not?
21055The attack on the cabin, was that man who captured me-- that man Chigmok-- was he the inspirer of that?"
21055The factor?
21055Then after a moment he asked,"Your question?
21055Then after a moment she asked,"How did you escape?
21055Then he asked,"Would that make no difference?"
21055Then he smiled,"You must be patient a little while longer, as I am, and when you have heard it, I hope you will not deny me my reward?"
21055There''s no going back in life; a man can only go forward or----""Or what?"
21055To whom could I whisper it in this wilderness?"
21055Vous comprenez?"
21055Vous comprenez?"
21055Was he coming in?
21055Was he indeed the man to whom the half- breed was looking for the price?
21055Was it possible that after all the half- breed was mistaken, or that he had told her a lying tale?
21055Was it possible that he----?
21055Was it possible that her rescuer believed that his one- time friend had it in his power to prove his innocence of the crime for which he had suffered?
21055Was it true, she asked herself, that he was afraid of the pursuit of revengeful Indians?
21055Was that man Gerald Ainley?
21055Was the woman who had twice ventured into the neighbourhood of the cabin without revealing herself, Miskodeed?
21055Was there some other man, some white man who had seen Helen and by this means hoped to secure her for himself?
21055We travel queeck, after, vous comprenez?
21055We were at your heels when the rifles fired from the shore----""Then you_ were_ with that second sledge?"
21055We''ll bandage you up, and save you for the Law yet?"
21055What are you doing here?"
21055What did he look like, Chigmok?"
21055What do you make of it?"
21055What ees one man when men are as zee leaves of zee forest?
21055What in heaven''s name is the meaning of it all?
21055What on earth was the meaning of it all?
21055What reason was there for supposing that the other parts of his narrative were true?
21055What was it?"
21055What was that?"
21055What was the crime?"
21055Where are your dogs?"
21055Where does it come from?"
21055Where?"
21055Wherefore should you run from me, little sister?"
21055Which of them was it?
21055Who had given the order?
21055Who is Jean Bènard?"
21055Who is Meeko?"
21055Who was the inspirer of it, and why should his death be designed, whilst his companion must be spared?
21055Who''s afraid of owls?"
21055Who''s this?
21055Why can not you tell me?
21055Why did n''t he take dogs?
21055Why should I?
21055Why?
21055Why?"
21055Why?"
21055Will the portage or the river be the better way?"
21055Will you not think again?
21055Would he ever be able to redeem it?
21055Would he ever be able to tell her what was in his heart, what indeed had been there since the moment of their first meeting at Fort Malsun?
21055You are telling me that you were glad to be left alone in this god- forsaken wilderness with a man who was a discharged convict?
21055You are the man who was at Fort Malsun, are n''t you-- the man whom Mr. Ainley used to know?"
21055You do n''t mind being left for a little while?"
21055You do n''t say?"
21055You fired no shots at the attackers?"
21055You haf no quarrel with zee tribe?"
21055You have not dreamed this by any chance?"
21055You must know that?"
21055You remember Jarlock who was in our set--?"
21055You remember him?
21055You remember that man who was at Fort Malsun, and who departed quietly one night?"
21055You saw me, I suppose?"
21055You understand, Helen?"
21055You understand?"
21055You understand?"
21055You''ll ask me to be best man, wo n''t you?"
21055You?"
21055answered Helen, and after a moment''s silence asked:"Do you think those Indians up the lake have anything to do with it?"
21055he cried:"what was dat?"
21055laughed the girl,"are you so anxious to go back to civilization?"
21055mees; a promise what ees dat?
21055she laughed back,"if that is the only memento I am to have----""Yes?"
36599Ah, why did I not die with him when it was still in my power to do so? 36599 Air you agoin''to open?"
36599And Chickie, here, called you something else just now-- what the deuce was it?
36599And are you so keen on this gold, Vipan? 36599 And do you never contemplate a return to civilisation-- to your friends?"
36599And that?
36599And then if nobody came to get us out of our fix next week?
36599And to what end?
36599And what became of Major Barentyne?
36599And what might your name be-- if it''s a fair question?
36599And yourself?
36599And-- and have you never explained a word of it since?
36599Any news of Yseulte?
36599Anyone feel like trying an entrance? 36599 Are you really made of cast- iron, Mr Vipan?"
36599Been to call on Dudley yet, Ralph?
36599Boss of this outfit, I take it?
36599Burntwood Creek?
36599But I can yet make some amends?
36599But did n''t Mr Vallance do anything for him?
36599But for your promptitude where should I be now?
36599But what if it will be for long?
36599But what is a` dug- out''?
36599But,he objected,"if I get clear will they not visit it upon you?"
36599But,she urged, lowering her voice, and speaking quickly,"but what if I can help you to escape?"
36599But-- but, my good fellow, surely you are aware you have n''t a leg to stand on?
36599But-- don''t you feel it kinder dull like? 36599 By the way, Mr-- er?"
36599Can I have a word with you, Santorex?
36599Can we not wait here?
36599D''you say so, Colonel?
36599Dead?
36599Did I? 36599 Did he chevy you far, Geoffry?"
36599Did not Golden Face declare that he owned no nationality?
36599Did you_ know_ what was going to happen?
36599Do I? 36599 Do n''t they want to make terms?"
36599Do the Ogallalla[ a sub- division or clan of the Sioux nation] send out war- parties in winter time?
36599Do we meet in peace, or do we meet in war?
36599Do you know, sir, that you are using actionable words?
36599Do you think, Miss Santorex, that a man out here` on a trip''would be up to every move of a Sioux war- party? 36599 Does one friend kill another?"
36599Doing what?
36599Eh? 36599 Er-- you have saved my life, Mr-- er--?"
36599Got the` dust''about yer, strangers, or did yer_ cache_ it?
36599H''m, why so, Miss Santorex?
36599Had enough of it, Chickie? 36599 Had old Muggins''bull after you?"
36599Have I no chance, Yseulte?
36599Have they come back from hunting?
36599Have you so soon forgotten the result of trying to cross the plains alone? 36599 Have you taken leave of your senses?"
36599How did it happen?
36599How did you manage to let them capture you?
36599How do you manage it? 36599 How do, Bill?
36599How do, Colonel? 36599 How do, Santorex?"
36599How do, sheriff?
36599How does he know I do n''t want you at home this morning? 36599 How in thunder did you get into this hobble?"
36599How on earth will he know?
36599How will it end?
36599I say, w- were you ever at the''Varsity?
36599I told you my time would surely come, did n''t I? 36599 Indians?
36599Is War Wolf my horse or my dog that it is my business to take care of him?
36599Is he coming out here, then?
36599Is he not surrounded by his friends, his brothers? 36599 Is it?"
36599Is that what they used to call me? 36599 Lord, Colonel,"replied the scout,"you do n''t want us to foot the Henniker trail again?"
36599May I hope that remark will apply to me, Mrs Winthrop?
36599Might I-- might I just look over those letters?
36599Not heard anything of him? 36599 Not heard anything of him?"
36599Now, what the deuce can he be doing here, alone, and away from his outfit? 36599 Of taking leave?
36599Oh, can nothing be done to save him?
36599Oh, that''s how the land lies, is it?
36599Oh, what are they? 36599 Oh, you will?"
36599On my account?
36599Police work, eh?
36599Postman says was he right in leaving this, sir?
36599Relative of yours?
36599Say, pardners, whar did yer leave yer squaws? 36599 See here, Rube,"suggested the other,"why not tumble to my plan?
36599See here, boys, am I sheriff of Henniker City, or am I not?
36599Self- denial, eh? 36599 So that''s how Nat Hardroper custodies his State prisoners, eh?"
36599Surely you are not simple enough to imagine that the daughter of that hybrid Spanish atheist would neglect such an opportunity? 36599 Tame, indeed?
36599That so?
36599That''s worse than the last infliction of Muggins you underwent, is n''t it, Mr Vallance?
36599The next thing, eh?
36599Think that''s the type you could fall in love with, eh, Chickie? 36599 Think you''d care to undertake it?
36599Think you''d have known the child here?
36599Vipan? 36599 Was it a fair draw?"
36599Was it for her he lifted his rifle against his Dahcotah brethren?
36599Well, Chickie? 36599 Well, now, Yseulte, what do you think of our Indians, now you have seen them-- real ones-- at last?"
36599Well, what d''you say? 36599 Were they all King George men?"
36599Were you ever besieged in one of these places?
36599What can you hear?
36599What chance is there of rescuing your friend?
36599What do they say?
36599What has become of him now?
36599What interest had I in a few ranchmen and bullwhackers more or less? 36599 What tribe are they, Mr Vipan?"
36599What was said just now about Sitting Bull?
36599What were my words to the great Council at Dog Creek?
36599What''s it all about, Three Elks?
36599What? 36599 When can we return to the camp?"
36599Which''Varsity?
36599Who air you, stranger?
36599Who am I that stand to address you to- night?
36599Who am I? 36599 Who are they after nobbling?"
36599Who gave you any sort of encouragement to follow me to what you are pleased to call` the end of another world''? 36599 Who is he, James?"
36599Who is it they want?
36599Who is it? 36599 Who is it?"
36599Who knows? 36599 Who that had seen her could ever forget the beautiful Miss D''Arcy-- the Belle of the Island?"
36599Who witnessed the scalp- dance in our village at Dog Creek, when War Wolf showed his scalps? 36599 Who would not fight for a beautiful woman, be she white or red?"
36599Why did n''t you bring him over with you, Rupert?
36599Why did we ever let him go?
36599Why did we ever let him go?
36599Why did you bring me away from them all this morning?
36599Why did you not defend yourself? 36599 Why do you always avoid me now?"
36599Why except ourselves?
36599Why should I tell lies?
36599Why? 36599 Why?"
36599Will they attack us to- night?
36599Will they attack us, Mr Vipan?
36599Will they come again?
36599Would it? 36599 You dislike her to that extent?"
36599You do n''t? 36599 You do n''t?"
36599You do n''t?
36599You do not despise me in your heart?
36599You do? 36599 You knew him then, father?"
36599You think that would be fun, eh?
36599You, James? 36599 You, James?"
36599_ He_? 36599 ` Haunting memories,''eh?"
36599A daring and unscrupulous plan?
36599Ah, why?"
36599All?
36599Am I not a warrior?
36599Am I to pay that visit to George''s ranche this summer or not?"
36599Am I to show my appreciation by keeping him at arm''s length to please Geoffry Vallance?"
36599And mind me, if it had n''t been for him, where d''you think you''d be to- day?
36599And now, have all your visitors left?"
36599And now, how had the Great Father kept his promises?
36599And then, were the Indians themselves strictly observing their side of the treaty?
36599And what insane fatuity should bring her here alone in the fast falling twilight?
36599And what of the captive?
36599And where are we to- day?
36599And who shall blame him?
36599And why?"
36599Any news?"
36599Are we men, or have we become squaws since we began to receive doles of Government beef?"
36599Are we not dependent on the Agencies for our daily food and clothing, instead of upon our own arrows and lances as of yore?
36599Are we not living like beggars?
36599As she sat contemplating it, a voice arose from the lawn beneath, saying in the most approved Oxford drawl:"Ah, how do you do, Mrs Santorex?
36599Been having it out with Geoffry Plantagenet?"
36599Besides, it was evident that he wished to treat them fairly this time, for had he not sent troops to drive away the intruding gold- seekers?
36599Besides, we are nearly at the end of these` haunting memories of bygone days,''are n''t we?
36599Brought me some more citizens, hey?
36599But are n''t they rather cowardly?"
36599But now?
36599But who on earth was her companion?
36599But you?
36599But, you will say: If the whites have the dollars, and value not the lives of other people, what chance have we, for they are rich, and can pay?
36599But-- how did you know?"
36599By what right do you presume to call me to account?
36599Can the gathering dusk be playing her tricks?
36599Come to life again, has he?
36599Come, had n''t we?"
36599Consolation?
36599Could he be getting clear of the mountains already?
36599Could he have heard?
36599Could he never appear before her but in a ridiculous light-- the central figure of some absurd situation?
36599Could he not seize the opportunity to make a dash for it?
36599Could it have been myself?
36599Dead bodies?
36599Did War Wolf and his followers come to me as to a friend?
36599Did n''t he set the red devils on to sculp my pardners?
36599Did n''t he wipe out my brother?
36599Did you ever set your heart on a single thing, that when you got it you wondered how the snakes you could ever have been so hot on gettin''it?
36599Do you know that from hour to hour I live in unceasing apprehension of treachery?
36599Do you remember my words to you as I left this room?"
36599Do you remember our last interview, here, in this very room?
36599Eh, boys?"
36599Eh?"
36599Even should the fugitives reach it, what then?
36599Going after Sittin''Bull soon?"
36599Guide?
36599Had Mr Vallance heard bad news about his son?
36599Had he not come peaceably with the rest to obtain his rations, and had obtained them-- a clear proof that the Government was not angry with him?
36599Had n''t we better git?"
36599Had they not lived in amity in their midst all the winter?
36599Have I not followed you to the end of another world?
36599Have n''t you been shooting''em down like jack- rabbits around here, and wo n''t they now be bustin''with murderation to take your hair?
36599Have you any idea of the whereabouts of Ralph Vallance?"
36599Have you?"
36599Have_ you_ heard anything about him?"
36599He had been living on the reservation with them all, as everybody knew; why then should the Great Father send soldiers to take him?
36599Heard anything of Geoffry lately?"
36599How are you, Yseulte?
36599How could they sell them?
36599How did you manage to get clear?"
36599How do, colonel?"
36599How many would be left now had we traded away our rights?
36599How many years ago was it?
36599How?"
36599I believe you and he were-- er-- on friendly terms at one time?"
36599I do n''t think we ought to go out of our way to cultivate a bad opinion of a man who has saved both our lives, do you?"
36599I wonder what unlucky devil lost in the storm this buck could have overhauled and struck down?"
36599I wonder, by the way, what became of that same weapon?
36599If he attempted to do so it would be at deadly risk to himself, and even then would he meet with success?
36599In where?
36599Is it really you, or am I dead or dreaming?"
36599Is it your experience that the richest man is the man who cares least for his possessions?
36599Is it?
36599Is?
36599It was poor comfort, and again he found himself repeating:"Why did we ever allow him to go?"
36599Kindly overtake them, will you?
36599May I ask where, when, and how you served your apprenticeship as an Indian fighter?"
36599Never saw` Mr Lo''[ Note 1] on the war- path before, I take it?"
36599Not-- not about Geoffry?"
36599Now, do you think it in the least likely that I should agree to any such arrangement?
36599Now, how did the Indians first come to attack you?
36599On foot and unbound he might have distanced the savages, but what chance had he against their ponies?
36599Or did Uncle Sam confiscate''em as national property?
36599Phantom steed and phantom rider?
36599Rather a contemptible object, am I not?"
36599Rather a sin to keep you boxed up here this lovely morning, is n''t it?"
36599Reckon that wager''s on, all there; hey, Smokestack Bill?"
36599Remember your scheme to lynch me, eh, Bitter Rube?"
36599Remember?"
36599Say, now, could n''t you get the party or parties out here, and have a fair and square stand up?
36599Say, stranger"--he broke off, turning to Geoffry--"are you the` tenderfoot''them reds was after?"
36599See that butte away up there?
36599Seven years have gone by, and how is that agreement kept?
36599She had been taken to wife according to Dahcotah custom; and whose lodge was more comfortable than hers; who was cared for better than she?
36599Should I be likely to sell his scalp, even if I sold those of_ your_ friends?"
36599Should he not rather be called Double Face?"
36599Should he try his fate?
36599Sitting Bull is a great chief, a warrior of renown, but who is War Wolf?
36599So he blundered over the service, did he?
36599So that''s your opinion, is it, young woman?"
36599Suppose you abdicate now and let me have a turn?"
36599Surely it has n''t gone so far as that?"
36599Surely my relations need not stand in the way?"
36599Surely this is not the disturbing factor?
36599Surely you are not going to leave us yet, Mr Vipan?
36599That your pard, Bill?
36599The land is white with their skeletons, but will skeletons feed the Dahcotah and supply skins for their winter lodges?
36599The other''s philosophy was to end in this, then?
36599The plot thickens, eh?"
36599The whites built their accursed roads and the steam- horse came puffing over the plains, and where are the buffalo to- day?
36599Their what?
36599Then a score of horsemen darted into the light, and a ringing voice was heard inquiring--"Say, boys, what in thunder''s all this muss?"
36599Then glancing at the pile of newly- opened letters--"Is it bad news?
36599Then he quietly said:--"Do the Ogallalla dance the Sun- Dance[ Note 1] in winter?"
36599Then we were great because free and feared-- for who in those days dared incur the enmity of the Dahcotah?
36599Then when they treated me as an enemy and an ordinary prisoner of war, did I complain?
36599Then:"Why not?"
36599They would be certain to detect your agency in the matter, and then what would be_ your_ fate?"
36599Want you?
36599Was he about to confide to her the history of his past?
36599Was her appearance after all these years destined to herald some other turning- point in his life?
36599Was it not the property of the Dahcotah nation, on whose ground it lay hidden?
36599Was n''t he with the Injun as scalped Rufus Charlie and Pesky Bob?"
36599Was she going to fall in love with an old and faded portrait?
36599Was the land absolutely bristling with enemies?
36599Well, Mr Vallance, I was going to say, what do you think of Indian fighting?
36599Well, have we not sufficiently emphasised the fact that Yseulte Santorex was a very beautiful girl?
36599Well, what then?
36599Were there any killed?"
36599Were there not enough whites abroad upon the plains for your war- party to strike without attacking my friends whom I accompany?
36599What about his pard-- eh?
36599What are they?
36599What are those?"
36599What could I do, at the mercy of a band of ruthless savages?
36599What could this mean?
36599What deed of dark treachery is this stealthy savage about to perpetrate?
36599What did he see?
36599What did it mean?
36599What did the powerful lens reveal to upset the equanimity, to shake the very nerves of this cool, hardened, cynical plainsman?
36599What do we care about Bitter Rube?
36599What do we gain, I say, by treating with these lying Mehneaska?
36599What had I to do with the brute''s unwashen` pardners''?
36599What had War Wolf done, he asked, that he should be seized like a common thief in the white men''s towns?
36599What had he to do with softness-- with love-- at his time of life?
36599What happened?
36599What have we ever gained?
36599What if he had brought this white girl with him, and she had met-- with harm at the hands of any of these?
36599What if he were to encounter a snake in this long- closed- up_ oubliette_, or foul air?
36599What is baser than the sin of ingratitude?
36599What is that stealthy rustle in the depths of yonder scrub?
36599What mutilated human remains might they not actually be walking over?
36599What object has attracted his keen vision-- has sufficed to retain it?
36599What on earth can he want to talk to me about?
36599What price would be equivalent to such a precious possession?
36599What shall I tell him if so be I find him?"
36599What the deuce was she doing here, careering about the country with this splendidly handsome desperado?
36599What was it?
36599What was the use?
36599What was this gold, and whose was it?
36599What was to be her destiny in life?
36599What''ll we do with him, boys?"
36599What''s in the wind, now?"
36599What''s the odds, though?
36599What''s yours?"
36599What-- who are they?"
36599When they sought to throw open our territory by cutting it with a broad road, did we treat?
36599When?"
36599Where are the forts built along it to keep it open?
36599Where is War Wolf?"
36599Where is that road to- day?
36599Where would you be now but for him, or where should I?
36599Where''ll you light out for?"
36599Where?
36599While the country''s swarming with live redskins hunting for my scalp, am I going to be scared by one dead one?
36599Who am I?
36599Who among all the red races had such good hearts as the Dahcotah?
36599Who among them would have remained at peace under such provocation as they had received and continued to receive?
36599Who delivered him into the hands of the soldiers?"
36599Who is he, I say?
36599Who is it?"
36599Who is the man who has just joined them?"
36599Who is to blame but War Wolf himself?"
36599Who requires to go armed among his friends?"
36599Who was he in her eyes, in the eyes of those around her, her friends and protectors?
36599Who was their slayer?
36599Who worthy of the name and dignity of a warrior ever forgot to requite a good turn once rendered, even at the peril of his life?
36599Who would have dealings with such dogs as these?
36599Who would strike the friends of his brother?
36599Who''s_ he_?"
36599Why did you come here to render me thoroughly ridiculous, to place me in a false position?
36599Why did you not explain the matter fully?"
36599Why do n''t they interfere with him?
36599Why do they bring beautiful white girls into a country where the ground is too rough for their tender feet?
36599Why does not the man hasten upon his way?
36599Why had he come there?--why the devil had he stayed?
36599Why had he induced her to come out like this to- day?
36599Why had the Dahcotah attacked them and run off their stock?
36599Why not go and talk to him there?"
36599Why should I tell lies?
36599Why should I?"
36599Why should he?
36599Why should his slumbers be disturbed?
36599Why the devil did they send out so few men?"
36599Why was he disinherited?"
36599Why was this?
36599Why, Geoffry, where on earth_ have_ you dropped from?"
36599Why, then, had he fought for the Mehneaska against his Dahcotah brethren?
36599Why, what have you got there?"
36599Why, what is the matter?"
36599Why-- what''s the matter, Miss Santorex?"
36599Why?
36599Wild horses?
36599Will he not come in, and rest and eat?"
36599Would he reach the water?
36599Would not her people require a heavy reckoning?
36599Would she ever recover his good opinion again?
36599Would there be another battle?
36599Yet why should I talk of this?
36599Yet why should she have felt so, seeing that this was by no means the first time she had undertaken an expedition_ a deux_ under her present escort?
36599Yet-- what was that but a phantom-- a phantom horseman-- advancing towards her at scarce thirty paces?
36599You are going away?
36599You feel better now?
36599You think they have no chance?"
36599You would have done nothing to warn them?
36599Your man in''em, Colonel?"
36599Yseulte, what have you done to offend Mr Vipan?
36599am I altered so dead out of all recognition?"
36599and whur''s that shuck- faced omadhaun?"
36599he began, with a quick glance around, as if fearful of interruption,"What have I done that you will hardly speak to me now?"
36599now for the race for life; but what were the odds in his favour?
36599what''s the next thing?"
36599will nothing warn the sleeper?
36599you do n''t say so?
10978A barmaid?
10978A letter for me?
10978A missus?
10978A story? 10978 About my being a-- a-- beacon?"
10978Ai n''t it a shame? 10978 Ai n''t it an athletic stunt?"
10978Ai n''t it, though?
10978Ai n''t you goin''to read your note?
10978Ai n''t you happy, girl?
10978Ai n''t you up yet, lazybones?
10978And I must leave you here,Sheila went on softly,"with my stars?"
10978And are you going to be my friend?
10978And bawl him out?
10978And comfortable?
10978And never rode up to call on us?
10978And shoot my dogs?
10978And take me?
10978And take me?
10978And that blue one? 10978 And that''s just the trouble with Dickie, is n''t it?
10978And they never brought you back?
10978And this is''The Ballad of Reading Gaol''And here''s a sonnet,''It was not like your great and gracious ways''--? 10978 And what did they say?"
10978And you will stay here and work the ranch and write, Dickie?
10978And, of course, you took her lies for the truth?
10978And-- and booze? 10978 Are n''t they wonderful?
10978Are n''t you ever going to smile for me again?
10978Are n''t you going to sit down, Dickie? 10978 Are n''t you planning to do any work to- day, Sheila?"
10978Are n''t you?
10978Are they yours?
10978Are we on the road?
10978Are you Paul Carey Hilliard''s son-- the son of Roxana Hilliard?
10978Are you going to take the little horse?
10978Are you satisfied with your work, Miss Sheila?
10978Are you, though?
10978Artists?
10978Babe?
10978But what can I do, then?
10978But what is the work?
10978But--with a sudden thundery change of countenance--"you''re not going over to Hidden Creek, are you?"
10978But, Dickie-- your-- words? 10978 But, Mr. Hudson, my ticket?
10978Ca n''t you stop?
10978Chance to do all your heavy work?
10978Chance?
10978Cheery little old town, is n''t it?
10978Could n''t I hire one of your horses?
10978Dickie, will you answer me, quite truthfully and simply, without any explaining or softening, please, if I ask you a-- a dreadful question?
10978Dickie,she faltered, and stood against the door, drooping wearily,"what are you doing here at this hour?"
10978Did I? 10978 Did she live away up there?"
10978Did you ever go to one of those fellows?
10978Did you really burn it down, Dickie?
10978Did your young man find you? 10978 Do n''t it seem like a road to you?"
10978Do they give you lots of trouble, Miss Arundel?
10978Do you come from the East?
10978Do you mean it now?
10978Do you really think,she said,"that the man that wrote those letters, loves me?"
10978Do you suppose I will stay here with you one hour, if you treat me like this?
10978Do you suppose,asked his companion in an impersonal tone,"that it was really a hard thing for Dickie to do-- to give it up, I mean?"
10978Do you think so?
10978Do_ you_ want that whip?
10978Down below you would n''t hardly know you had''em, would you?
10978Er-- er, do n''t we draw a finer lot of fellows than we ever did before? 10978 Fixed?"
10978Game? 10978 Get down?
10978Get up and go down to your job and do n''t you bother Miss Sheila-- hear me? 10978 Girlie?"
10978Go back? 10978 Good feed here, is n''t there?
10978Good- night,she said,"how do you like our neighbor?"
10978Got tired of Millings?
10978Groton? 10978 Had n''t we better go down to the post- office or to Rusty?"
10978Harness that team now? 10978 Have n''t you any-- folks?"
10978Have n''t you met her yet, Jim?
10978Have you been in Hidden Creek?
10978Have you been sending out invitations, Sheila?
10978He can give you everything--"And you?
10978He looks like a movie hero, does n''t he?
10978Hear me, Sheila? 10978 His inheritance?"
10978How did you happen to get here?
10978How do they earn their living?
10978How in God''s name,said Miss Blake,"shall I get''em on their chains again?"
10978How long will it be before the stage comes?
10978How''s that?
10978How''s your baby?
10978How''s your pony?
10978I bet you, you could think of somethin''better to say about it, could n''t you?
10978I ca n''t altogether, Miss Sheila, for I reckon you would n''t have run away from a true- blue, friendly fellow, would you?
10978I do n''t think Pap Hudson would quite stand for that, would he? 10978 I mean--_you_ do n''t like the East?--You will give up your work?"
10978I never heard that before, did I?
10978I went East--"But-- Hilliard?
10978I?
10978If you''re not aimin''to please_ him_,said"Momma"harshly,"wot are you here for?"
10978In the saloon? 10978 Is it a road?"
10978Is it aiming high?
10978Is it true that you are going to make a barmaid of Sheila?
10978Is she? 10978 Is she?"
10978Is that Mr. Greely? 10978 Is that the truth?
10978Is that why you want me to work in your saloon?
10978It''s a promise, girl?
10978It''s not like a smile at all,thought Dickie, the dancing crowd invisible to him;"it''s like something-- it''s-- what is it?
10978It_ is_ like that,she said--"like a cold flame, going up-- how did you think of that?"
10978Jim dances fine, do n''t he?
10978Keep away from her-- hear me?
10978Kind, Miss Arundel? 10978 Know any one in this city?"
10978Let''s sit it out in the room between the babies and the dancin''-room-- two kinds of a b- a- w- l, ai n''t it? 10978 Miss Blake did?"
10978Miss Blake, what else is left for us to do? 10978 Miss Blake,"he muttered,"do you_ know_ this?"
10978Miss Blake? 10978 Mr. Carthy,"she whispered,"would it be all right if I went home now?
10978Mr. Hilliard-- what shall I do with my life, I wonder? 10978 My darling-- Why not permit me to call you that when it is the simple and sincere truth?"
10978Never been on the top of a rocky peak-- kind of a sky- scraper sensation, is n''t it? 10978 Not going?"
10978Not happy, are you?
10978Not much, eh? 10978 Now, look- a- here, little girl, the price of that picture will just about cover your expenses, eh?--board and-- er-- funeral?"
10978Now, where''s your diggings,asked Lorrimer, who had taken no hints about asking questions,"east or west?"
10978O God, where are you? 10978 Oh, Dickie,"she had said, her relief at the escape from Mrs. Hudson pouring music into her voice,"have you heard?"
10978Oh, have you? 10978 Oh, you live in the Hidden Creek country?"
10978Palmists?
10978Please tell me about Mrs. Hudson and your daughters?
10978Poems?
10978Poetry? 10978 Ride ahead, Shorty, why do n''t you?"
10978Say that again, will you?
10978Say, Poppa, you two sit in the back, will you? 10978 Say, Sheila, did you send for me to tell me about this lovely friendship of yours with Jim?"
10978Say, Sheila, wot''ll you wear to- night?
10978Scared of Pap Hudson? 10978 Scared the police will take away your book?"
10978Scared you, did n''t I?
10978See? 10978 Shall I see you to- morrow?"
10978Shall I tell Carthy to turn you out, Jim?
10978She''s not much of a looker, is she, Jim?
10978She''s not such a bad old girl, is she?
10978Sheila-- h- how could they possibly hurt you so? 10978 So you promised Hilliard that you would take me back to marry him?"
10978So you wo n''t come to our dance?
10978Sold him? 10978 Still think?
10978Stop what, ma''am?
10978Tantrums? 10978 Tell me, at least,"she begged in a cracked key of suspense,"do you know anything about--_Hilliard_?"
10978That The Aura was classy?
10978That''s what you want me to be-- your barmaid?
10978The flowers are awfully bright up here, are n''t they?
10978The studio? 10978 The tables kind of turned, eh?"
10978Then why have n''t you spoken to me? 10978 This the way you take your pleasure?"
10978Was Berg the one on the bearskin inside?
10978Wassa meanin''of this item, f''rinstance? 10978 We are n''t goin''to talk about our acquaintance, are we?
10978We ca n''t get into the quadrille now,said Jim,"but you''ll give me the next, wo n''t you, Girlie?"
10978We do n''t like Millings to- day, do we?
10978Wear?
10978Well, little girl,said he,"where to this afternoon?"
10978Well, ma''am,he said, beginning to roll a cigarette,"what do you think of that?"
10978Well, say, who''s been botherin''you?
10978Well,said Sylvester apologetically,"she''s one of the wiry kind, are n''t you, Miss Sheila?"
10978Well,she said coolly,"did you hear what I said?
10978Were you coming to Millings?
10978What are you reading?
10978What are you waiting for, anyway?
10978What can you read?
10978What did he say?
10978What did you do?
10978What did you want to bring in all that truck--?
10978What do they mean, Dickie,she whispered with a wan look,"when they call me--''Hudson''s Queen''?"
10978What do you like?
10978What do you look over your shoulder that way for, Dick?
10978What do you mean, Mr. Hudson? 10978 What do you mean, Sheila, about your stars?"
10978What do you mean? 10978 What do you mean?"
10978What do you mean?
10978What do you want, Sheila?
10978What does a beacon do?
10978What does the hour matter?
10978What kind of dog is that?
10978What made her mad?
10978What made you change your mind?
10978What pay do you draw?
10978What school?
10978What time is it now?
10978What was the row last night?
10978What was the thing?
10978What were you doin''? 10978 What''d he prognosticate?"
10978What''s got the elk and moose this season?
10978What''s that coral- colored bushy one?
10978What''s the matter with you?
10978What_ do_ you mean? 10978 Whatever shall we do now?"
10978Where is he?
10978Where the dickens is my hat? 10978 Where were you educated, Dick?"
10978Where''s Sheila?
10978Where''s the girl''s trunk?
10978Where''s your stuff?
10978Who in God''s name are you?
10978Who is it?
10978Who told you that they called you that?
10978Who''s that?
10978Why did n''t you go to the desk, youngster, and ask questions?
10978Why did n''t you offer your--''job''to Babe or Girlie?
10978Why did you come here?
10978Why do n''t you look at me?
10978Why do you talk about a man''s love?
10978Why fuss her about it, if she do n''t want to?
10978Why has he gone? 10978 Why in thunder do n''t you take it out, you young idiot?"
10978Why in thunder should n''t she trap?
10978Why is it so horrible?
10978Why not say_ honest_ work? 10978 Will you hold his head?
10978Will you take back your horse, please?
10978Would you be carin''to walk home with me?
10978Would you call dancing an athletic stunt?
10978Yes?
10978You did?
10978You do n''t know?
10978You feel O.K.?
10978You get me?
10978You honest think all that, Sheila?
10978You know what I was plannin''to do to you after last night? 10978 You mean because you-- you--?"
10978You mean you have some work for me in your home?
10978You mean you think he-- he will bawl me out?
10978You mean,said Dickie,"tell you what I think this looks like?"
10978You mean--?
10978You mean--?
10978You really think that I''ve been kind of nice to you?
10978You remember what I told you the other night?
10978You still think I am that?
10978You wanted to see me about something?
10978You were working in the Big Horn country? 10978 You wo n''t be angry with Dickie?"
10978You work at The Aura, do n''t you?
10978You''d shoot my dogs?
10978You''re a biscuit- shooter at the hotel?
10978You''re hurt?
10978You''re my girl, are n''t you? 10978 You''re real sure, Sheila, that you_ never_ could?--that you''d rather go on with this--?"
10978You''re sure you''re not hurt? 10978 You''re very powerful, are n''t you?
10978You''ve always lived here in Millings?
10978_ I_ burned it down? 10978 _ You_ came down to apologize?"
10978--To see the mountains, was n''t it?"
10978After Mr. Greely and I have finished this, could you sit one out with me?"
10978Ai n''t it the way a feller feels, though, up on the top of a rocky peak?"
10978Ai n''t that a funny thing, too?
10978Ai n''t you small, though?
10978An astonished little voice in Sheila''s brain here seemed to counter- question mechanically"Why not, indeed?"
10978And I reckon you''re half asleep, eh?
10978And does it ever stop blowing?"
10978And how''s the little boy?
10978And it''s not such a bad old world either, eh?"
10978And to whom might she go for help or for advice?
10978And what was the sinister, inner meaning of those two speeches... about the purpose of her being in the house at all?
10978And why should I be afraid of you?
10978And yet, would she be out visiting already, she, a stranger?
10978And you like to be questioned yourself?"
10978And-- and you will send me back to Hilliard and-- the good old world?"
10978Are you all fixed?"
10978Before now she''s cut me, just as Girlie does, just as your wife does, just as Dickie does--""Dickie cut you?"
10978But I''d like to know, Miss Arundel, if you''ll excuse me, how you''re fixed?"
10978But can you stand loneliness, Miss-- What_ is_ your name?"
10978But why did n''t Mrs. Hudson like it?
10978But, Poppa, you old tin- horn, what did you mean by saying in your wire that she was a husky girl?
10978But, look- a- here, girl, what''ve I done to deserve that?"
10978But,"she added after a thoughtful moment,"I do n''t know much about your story either, do I?"
10978But-- poetry?
10978By an effort of his will, he held it before his contemplation.... What possible plans could Sylvester have for Sheila?
10978Can a woman live near so turbulent a thing and not even guess at its existence?
10978Can you guess?"
10978Can you make a picture of me?
10978Come out while I patch up Dusty, wo n''t you, please?
10978Cosme Hilliard, have you set eyes on Hudson?
10978Could I find my way?
10978Could it be possible that she was homesick for Millings?
10978Dickie, why could n''t I see?
10978Did it fall out?"
10978Did she approve of them?
10978Did she understand his plans?
10978Do n''t Carthy handle a crowd that''s growing under his eyes?
10978Do n''t it sound like a Tenderloin tale, though, South American wife and American husband and her getting jealous and up and shooting him?
10978Do n''t the tillbox speak for itself?
10978Do n''t they behave more decent and orderly?
10978Do n''t they get civilization just for looking at you, Miss Sheila?"
10978Do n''t you think it''s a--_nice_ name?"
10978Do they mean the Hotel, Dickie?
10978Do you hear?
10978Do you know my nickname?
10978Do you know what he told me, Miss Sheila?
10978Do you like it?
10978Do you recollect a story I told you?"
10978Do you remember how you felt in the pen?
10978Do you think I could get to Rusty on foot to- night?"
10978Do you think I''d have her here with me this way without knowing the girl?
10978Do you think Miss Blake will let me keep him?"
10978Do you want a drink?
10978Do you want to Castle it?
10978Does all this look like anything to you?
10978Does it ever rain around Millings?
10978Does that make you think awfully bad of me?"
10978Ever been over The Hill?"
10978For the bar with its lights and its visitors and its big- aproned guardian?
10978Had there been some mention in the paper of a son?--a son in the West?--a son under a cloud of some sort?
10978Have n''t you ever dealt with the vanity of a young male before?
10978Have you been fighting again?
10978Have you met Jim Greely?"
10978Have you tried it, Miss Arundel?"
10978He read aloud,--"''Close to the sun in lonely lands--''what''s that from, anyway?"
10978Here?"
10978Hilliard is an English name, is n''t it?
10978How could I be all that?"
10978How did you get''into the job''?
10978How far is it?"
10978How high are we?
10978How long will you stay?"
10978How old are you?
10978How would"Poppa"take it if he, Dickie, should be seen sitting out a dance with Miss Arundel?
10978Hudson''s notion, was n''t it?"
10978Hudson?"
10978Hudson?"
10978I do n''t want him to-- to-- what was it he was going to do to- morrow?"
10978I mean, do you like Millings?
10978I mean-- why are you a waiter in this-- hash- hole?"
10978I''m sure I wo n''t have the money--?"
10978Is he going past the hotel?"
10978Is he with you?"
10978Is it awfully hard to learn?"
10978Is n''t Pap a character, though?
10978Is n''t she scared they''ll eat her?"
10978Is n''t that Girlie''s--''fellow''?"
10978Is this the other side?
10978It kind of has a-- has a--""Rhythm?"
10978It meant so much to him, then--?
10978It was as though an enemy had said,"Hurts you, does n''t it?"
10978It was your song-- your song-- Are you angry with me--?
10978It''s earlier than usual, but I''m so-- awfully tired?"
10978It_ is_ small, is n''t it?
10978Jim made no promises about being my guardian, but--""But he_ is_ your guardian?"
10978Kind of brought up on pictures and country walks, in-- what''s the name of the foreign part?--Normandy?
10978Make a fresh start, eh?
10978May I tie it up for you?"
10978Maybe you''re too fine for that?"
10978Miss Blake-- did you_ really_ burn my two frocks-- both of them?"
10978Miss Blake-- what did you say to him?
10978My wife take breakfast in her room?
10978No beaux?"
10978No friends of your own age?
10978No use frosting us all, is there?"
10978Now, will you tell me good- night, Sheila?"
10978Oh, Dickie, Dickie, it''s--_you_?"
10978Oh, I do n''t know...""Did you ever go to a doctor about it?"
10978Oh, yes-- about an Englishman--?"
10978One of your friends back East?
10978Or would she not be justified in contemptuous laughter at his pretensions?
10978Quarter- wolf, was it?
10978Say, Aura, are n''t you goin''to give me a dance to- night?"
10978Say, Sheila, was n''t you ever kissed?"
10978Say, do you recollect something else I told you?"
10978She has a will of her own, has n''t she?"
10978Sheila waited for a long minute; then she said angrily,"Are n''t you glad I think that of you?"
10978Sheila, however, exclaimed delightedly,"Taken up a homestead?"
10978Sheila?"
10978So I''d about decided to go back down Arizona way and work.--Where are you going to stay in Hidden Creek?"
10978So much more like her father?
10978So you thought you''d leave the street- lamps and come take a look at the stars?"
10978Still think?
10978The memory of Dickie''s comfort, of Dickie''s tremulous restraint, had a strange poignancy.... Why was he so different from all the rest?
10978Then she sobbed and laughed aloud, calling out in her astonishment again and again, softly, incredulously--"_ You_, Dickie?
10978Then,"Did you get my note?"
10978They''ll be crazy over you-- sort of a noo pet in the house, eh?
10978They_ do_ mean the Hotel, do n''t they, Dickie?--that I am_ The_ Hudson''s Queen?"
10978Uh?"
10978Understand?"
10978Upstairs work?"
10978Want to come, Dickie?"
10978Was youth meant so to venture itself?
10978We ca n''t let them claw down the door and tear us into bits, can we?"
10978We''re in the valley, are n''t we?"
10978Well, my girl, do you think I ca n''t break you?"
10978Well, now, say, did they ever tell you that you were going to be the pride and joy of old Pap Hudson?
10978Were men always like that-- either watch- dogs or wolves?
10978Were n''t you tickled the way he took you up?
10978Were you scared good and plenty?
10978What am I?
10978What are you copying it for?--letter to your girl?"
10978What did you quit for?"
10978What did you think I meant-- to bed?"
10978What do you mean?
10978What do you think I''ve come''way out here to the wilderness for, if not because I ca n''t stand anything less than being master?
10978What do your acquaintance think of you comin''West with Sylly?"
10978What got into Dick?"
10978What is it we''re trying to breathe, anyway?"
10978What is your name?"
10978What job?"
10978What kind of girl travels West from New York at Sylvester Hudson''s expense and in his company and queens it in the suite at his hotel?"
10978What made you think such a thing?"
10978What right--?"
10978What was it, after all, that he expected of her?
10978What was there in this pale little hotel clerk who drank too much that lifted him out and up into a sort of radiance?
10978What''s all this--''An''I have been faithful to thee, Cynara, after my fashion''?"
10978What''s happened to you?
10978What''s it a sign of?
10978What''s to scare me of you?"
10978What''s your opinion on the subject, Miss Arundel?"
10978What?
10978Where am I?
10978Where did the Cosme come from?"
10978Where do you live, anyway?
10978Where had he got his delightful, gentle whimsicalities, that sweet, impersonal detachment that refused to yield to stupid angers and disgusts?
10978Where''s Sheila?"
10978Where''s your pony?"
10978Who''s at the desk to see them Duluth folks off?
10978Why did I let you go?
10978Why did n''t he wait?"
10978Why did n''t you come down?"
10978Why did she tighten her lips and pull her nostrils when she looked at her helper?
10978Why do n''t you give Jim a jolt?"
10978Why do n''t you help me now?"
10978Why does she keep the brutes?
10978Why have you looked that way at me?"
10978Why should I be afraid of the dogs, if you are n''t?
10978Why, how does the song go--''''T is love,''t is love that makes the world go round''--love''s just another word for kindness, ai n''t it?
10978Why, what''s an artist but a person with a dream he wants to make real?
10978Why?"
10978Will you be here to- morrow afternoon?"
10978Will you come down to see my house?
10978Will you come to my sitting- room when I get back?"
10978Will you come to see me some afternoon?
10978With all that wealth behind him how had he been allowed to grow up like this?
10978Would Sheila defend him?
10978Would n''t he?
10978Would she understand?
10978You call that pulling?
10978You come from over there?"
10978You do n''t mind riding that way, do you?
10978You know now what they mean--?"
10978You know what I am?
10978You know what I''d do to you if you were as young as you are little and foolish?
10978You mean the lady that wears pants?
10978You ran away?"
10978You want a recommend?
10978You''d like a motor ride, would n''t you?"
10978You''re sure they wo n''t try to hurt you again?"
10978You''ve got some funds, or some relations or some friends to call upon--?"
10978You''ve never been touched, have you?
10978You''ve seen them wriggle on their bellies for me, have n''t you?
10978You_ are_ Miss Arundel, are n''t you?
10978Your Poppa was a painter, was n''t he?
10978_ Our_ studio?--_You_ there, Dickie?"
10978_ You_ scared?
10978he ejaculated,"is all that stuff your copying?"
50939A breed kid who stutters?
50939A preacher?
50939A what?
50939About what?
50939And how is that?
50939And take up a collection?
50939And they have already left?
50939And what''ll the trouble- man be wanting?
50939And ye''ve come to sober me up for the night shift, eh, laddy- buck? 50939 Are n''t you going to tell me what nefarious connivance I''m a party to?"
50939By letting her testify in behalf of her husband''s murderer?
50939Can you take me there? 50939 Can you tell me where the blame lies?"
50939Charged with what?
50939Charges? 50939 Did any of the buckshot hit the horses?"
50939Did you ask the man at the livery about the horse?
50939Did you have to come straight here? 50939 Did you hear about Willie?
50939Do n''t ye know I''ve been working all night?
50939Do n''t you always have your way, Persia?
50939Do n''t you see what he''s trying to do?
50939Does Vickers know the boiler''s arrived?
50939Does it work as well?
50939Duke Parker was trying to blackjack himself back into control, was n''t he, Mr. Jay? 50939 For instance?"
50939Has it occurred to you that the saloons and gambling tables are hurting them?
50939He and the Parker girl are in together, are n''t they?
50939He left the job?
50939He said that? 50939 He wants to buy your contract?"
50939Here?
50939Hit who?
50939How about a game of three- handed euchre?
50939How about the gambling?
50939How about the house buying a couple, cowboy?
50939How about tomorrow?
50939How can I be sure? 50939 How come you''re running her errands?"
50939How do I know? 50939 How do I know?
50939How do you feel, Ben?
50939How do you figure to prove this drug charge?
50939How do you tell that?
50939How do you tell which are crooked?
50939How long ago did he leave?
50939How would I know?
50939How you getting along with Madrid?
50939How''s that hotel in town?
50939I interrupt something?
50939I''ll see you tomorrow?
50939Is Pinky Bronklin on the council?
50939Is n''t that true?
50939Is that boiler on the way now?
50939Is there anything anyone can do?
50939It helps?
50939It would? 50939 Jack Tesno?
50939Jack,Persia said in a strange voice,"what are you trying to do to me?"
50939Jackson, Dockeray, Smith, Jay, Lewis, Mann, Parce, Oliver...."Who''s permanent?
50939Jay? 50939 Jay?"
50939Lad, why do you think I signed on with Ben Vickers?... 50939 Law?"
50939Madrid did?
50939Madrid hire you?
50939Madrid? 50939 Me?"
50939Mr. Bronklin? 50939 Mr. Jay, shall I tell her how you got your first contract-- how you took over when the contractor went over a cliff?
50939Mrs. Parker, would you call a meeting of the council and tell them what I want?
50939Must I remind you that you are the principal owner of the Pink Lady? 50939 Not interested?"
50939Now do I get it or not?
50939Now who ever heard of such a thing? 50939 Oh?"
50939One of them circled back to the road?
50939Pete, what in tunket is this all about?
50939Quitting while you''re ahead?
50939Sam, how are they going to get rid of him?
50939Sam, is anything wrong?
50939Sent me? 50939 Somebody''s guarding it?"
50939Stella said that?
50939T- tame? 50939 That whisky- head engineer?
50939The boiler is n''t damaged?
50939The old Empire Builder himself?
50939Then why would he hire me?
50939They''re at the cabin,_ tenas house_, now?
50939This road go any place else?
50939This your place?
50939Town ordinance?
50939Vickers''doctor?
50939Warren? 50939 Was Duke Parker killed by a bullet, Sam?
50939Was Mr. Jay there?
50939Was Persia at the meeting?
50939Was he murdered? 50939 Wh- what k- kind of a job you think she might give me?"
50939Wh- why? 50939 What about Pinky?"
50939What are the handcuffs for?
50939What are you doing here?
50939What cost you that much time?
50939What did he say?
50939What did that crackpot want?
50939What did you hear?
50939What do you mean by that?
50939What do you mean?
50939What for? 50939 What happened to Duke, Ben?"
50939What if I am?
50939What the devil does he think he''s doing?
50939What the hell are you trying to pull?
50939What the hell?
50939What we g- g- going to do?
50939What will happen to Willie?
50939What you going to do tonight?
50939What''s funny?
50939What''s that to me?
50939What''s the matter with a little style?
50939When are you going to do something about the town, Jack?
50939When did you get too persnickety to sleep in a bunkhouse?
50939Where d- did the m- marshal go?
50939Where did the other one go?
50939Where have you been?
50939Where''s Eddie?
50939Where''s Madrid?
50939Where''s Madrid?
50939Where''s Palma?
50939Where?
50939Which table was this?
50939Who in hell do you think you are?
50939Who really calls the tune, Willie? 50939 Who sent you?"
50939Who''s b- bluffing?
50939Who''s on the th- third floor?
50939Who, Charlie?
50939Why not? 50939 Why tell me?"
50939Why waste the time of this court?
50939Why? 50939 Will Hobson talk?"
50939Willie off duty?
50939Willie was your cousin?
50939Would you like a letter of recommendation?
50939You an Injun?
50939You find trail?
50939You get a look at''em, Charlie?
50939You got dollar?
50939You got whisky?
50939You here, Boss?
50939You know Ben''s superintendant, Keef O''Hara? 50939 You know I work for Ben Vickers?"
50939You know him?
50939You know that Persia is the principal owner of the Pink Lady?
50939You know what c- co- operation means? 50939 You know''em?"
50939You looked it over?
50939You really pulled this off, kid?
50939You sure he''ll come in?
50939You t- taking a bath or s- something?
50939You tangled with him before?
50939You think they did this just to delay the news?
50939You want a drink?
50939You want me to s- stable your horse for you? 50939 You want something?"
50939You working from both ends toward the middle?
50939You''ll be-- all right?
50939You''ll not go?
50939You''re Injun?
50939You''re_ what_?
50939You?
50939You_ heard_ them?
50939Your name Warren?
50939_ Two_ men?
50939A stake that would buy and stock a ranch?
50939Alone and without ammunition?
50939And I am nothing at all._ There was still the ranch he had dreamed of for so long-- or was there?
50939And what did they do to us here amidst the wildest mountains in the land?
50939And why?
50939Anything else?"
50939Are n''t you ever satisfied?"
50939Are n''t you going after him?"
50939But could she have known earlier-- before the picnic?
50939But what else was she?
50939But why did you kill Duke Parker?
50939Could Palma plan to take another crack at the boiler?
50939Could we-- I suppose it is n''t a good idea, but could n''t we pack a lunch and have a picnic?
50939Did he say what he wanted?"
50939Did n''t the crowd understand that?
50939Did you meet Villie?
50939Do n''t you agree, Persia?"
50939Do n''t you know he''ll be watching you?"
50939Do you understand that?"
50939Go back with you or skidoo?"
50939Got anything to do for an hour?"
50939He grinned shakily and said,"What''s my move, Pete?
50939Hell, you headed for Tunneltown?"
50939Hobson too?"
50939How about that partner of yours who fell off a trestle in Idaho?...
50939How bad are you hurt?"
50939How could you swear it was Palma?"
50939How many other associates of yours died suddenly and without witnesses, Mr. Jay?
50939How much do you need?"
50939If one of the prisoners had a hidden gun, he''d take it away with him, would n''t he?"
50939Is he here?"
50939Is he so fierce?
50939Is that it?"
50939Is the news good or bad?"
50939Is there a plan to kill Willie?"
50939Jay?"
50939Jay?"
50939Jay?"
50939Last night he....""If you made a mistake why do n''t you correct it?"
50939Madrid glared and said,"Do you understand that?
50939Money?
50939Mr. Tesno, c- could I have a t- talk with you?"
50939Mr. Tesno, now that you''ve told us what you want, would you mind leaving us and letting us thrash this out?"
50939Or would it be Sam Lester who was doing the telling?
50939Right now?"
50939Sam or Persia?
50939Satisfied?"
50939Sent me where?"
50939She said,"For you then?
50939Stella, have you a crush on Willie?
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939That from you?"
50939That means that Sam Lester is involved, not Persia._ But why Sam?
50939Then she said,"Sam, if we went away from here, where would we go?"
50939Was a log skidded over him to conceal the wound?"
50939Was it a rough trip?"
50939Was it really an accomplishment to bring the thing called civilization to Puget Sound?
50939What did he have to gain by wrecking Ben Vickers''boiler?
50939What did you say your name was, mister?"
50939What does Stella say about it?"
50939What had he been seeking all these years?
50939What makes you think you''ll get them to listen?"
50939What successful contractor was n''t?
50939What will it be now for you, Jack?
50939When did you start?"
50939When we gon na eat?"
50939Where in the black damnation were you when those rascals surprised us, anyhow?"
50939Where in the merry hell have you been?"
50939Who would it be?"
50939Who''s paying you?"
50939Why ca n''t we be like-- well, you and me, for instance?"
50939Will you join me for dinner afterward?
50939Will you step into the marshal''s office and tell me everything you know?"
50939Will you warn him of the consequences?"
50939Yet he hid it, denied it, and as men gathered round he said roughly,"Anybody know him?"
50939You catch other one?"
50939You ever seen her?"
50939You finally going to get to that ranch?"
50939You got all that?"
50939You got that crazy Willie out of the way?"
50939You got whisky?"
50939You here to boss Tunneltown?"
50939You overtake Madrid?"
50939You pay now?"
50939You th- think he''ll f- fire me?"
50939_ Nika till._ You got whisky?"
50939_ Why?_ He said,"See you tomorrow,"and pushed on into the saloon.
32704--if Adam Forbes rode a horse big enough to carry his weight, and I rode a horse fourteen hands high?
32704A grudge? 32704 A letter?
32704A week, maybe?
32704About a year ago, near as I can remember, this man Caney-- Big Ed Caney-- deputy sheriff in Dona Ana-- did you know that? 32704 About what, now, for instance?"
32704Adam?
32704Ai n''t you never goin''to learn no sense a- tall? 32704 All indicating that the murderer rode at his victim''s left hand, and a little behind him, when these shots were fired?"
32704All set?
32704And I hear you been saying I was a gallows bird?
32704And do n''t I eat till His Honor gets back?
32704And keep my mouth shut? 32704 And the Garfield boys would n''t stand for it?"
32704And the murdered man had been shot three times?
32704And then you''ll beat me, please?
32704And who umpired?
32704And why were they all crosswise with each other, like jackstraws?
32704Any good, your mines?
32704Any news?
32704Any objections?
32704Anybody stay with Adam?
32704Anything serious?
32704Are n''t you?
32704Are you all there?
32704As an experienced man, does that look reasonable to you?
32704Be I telling this story or be I not? 32704 Bear meat?
32704But bareback? 32704 But how''ll you square yourself with the sheriff?"
32704But is it likely, Your Honor, that I could see ahead as far as that?
32704But who reads your letters to her?
32704But you knew?
32704But, Uncle Dan,said Hobby,"how did so many of them happen to be in Canada?"
32704Ca n''t you two get any action out of them horses of yourn?
32704Can you give bail?
32704Charlie has such eloquent eyes, Hobby-- don''t you think?
32704Dead?
32704Deadman? 32704 Did he say anything about location papers?
32704Did you examine the body?
32704Did you find the saddle thieves?
32704Did you notice his brand?
32704Did you notice the brand on his horse?
32704Did you see me brand the calf?
32704Dinner? 32704 Do n''t like farmin'', eh?"
32704Do n''t you think maybe you''re leaving an opening for some of the cattle to slip out?
32704Do we fill the barrel here, Henry?
32704Do you want to cross- examine the witness?
32704Does it go?
32704Extenuating circumstances?
32704Friend of yours, Jody?
32704Garfield post office?
32704Gee, why did n''t you wake me up? 32704 Get a wiggle on, ca n''t you?
32704Go with you, you mean?
32704Going to give Dines a gun?
32704Good land of Goshen, son-- what on earth has all this got to do with the price of hemp?
32704Good prospect?
32704Has the defense anything to offer? 32704 Have n''t you had breakfast yet?"
32704Have you anything to say to the court before sentence is pronounced?
32704Have you got the guts for it? 32704 Have''em bring''em in, will you, Harkey?"
32704He never told you, then?
32704Henry,he said cautiously,"can you let me have some cold bread and meat-- enough for night and morning?
32704Hob?
32704Hobby invented this wagon road, did he?
32704How about the women?
32704How big was the murdered man?
32704How can I study it over when I do n''t know what''s happened or what is said to have happened? 32704 How come them fools did n''t tell me?"
32704How did you know that? 32704 How did you know?
32704How do I get from Upham to the river, Pat? 32704 How does it happen you know so pat just when a letter gets to Hillsboro when it is posted in Garfield?"
32704How else would I know? 32704 How many?"
32704How so?
32704How tall was he, would you say?
32704How''d you know it was Adam''s horse?
32704How''s Caney, Dines? 32704 How''s that, umpire?"
32704How? 32704 Huh?"
32704I ca n''t write to my girl without your say- so, hey?
32704I suppose, when Sunday came, you kept right on working?
32704I wonder if girls feel that way too? 32704 If I let you out to eat breakfast with me like a white man-- no pranks?"
32704If I was claiming to be guilty, why confab with my friends? 32704 If he comes back, wo n''t he bring a gang with him?
32704If them bears had really been pets do you suppose I''d ever have opened my head about it?
32704In your opinion, these shots had been fired at close range?
32704In your opinion, when I shot Adam Forbes did I stand on my saddle? 32704 Is Caney dead?"
32704Is it well with you, Edith?
32704Is n''t anybody going to be glad to see me?
32704Judge, may I speak to the prisoner?
32704Just what was the big idea for sending one man to arrest me?
32704Know''em?
32704Little brown lady with curly eyes and laughing hair-- are you quite fair to Charlie See?
32704Look here, Mr. Wade-- am I to understand that you want this prisoner convicted whether he''s guilty or not?
32704Mail day?
32704Me? 32704 Mr. Dines, how does your client propose to question that horse, if I may ask?"
32704Mr. Gwinne, do you feed this prisoner well?
32704Mr. Gwinne, if I told you to put this prisoner on a strict ration, would you obey orders?
32704Mr. Hales, will you tell His Honor what color was the calf I branded in Redgate Cañon, day before yesterday, about two o''clock in the afternoon?
32704Nor whether it was a calf or a yearling?
32704Not being scared, you mean? 32704 Not that big red- headed chap I saw there?"
32704Now that I take a good look at you-- it seems probable, do n''t it?
32704Now was I convinced or only persuaded?
32704Now what you doin''--tryin''to slur my girl? 32704 Now why the little gun?"
32704Now, Mr. Hales, about that yearling I branded in Redgate cañon-- what color was it?
32704Oh, ca n''t you let me walk?
32704Oh, him? 32704 Oh, was it?
32704Oh-- that way? 32704 On which side did his mane hang?"
32704Pete?
32704Pretty quiet to- night?
32704See those thunder- heads? 32704 Shall I light the fire, Edith?"
32704Shall I take the stand now, Your Honor, or wait till after dinner? 32704 So Adam Forbes found this?"
32704So that''s all?
32704So you could swear to him?
32704So you did manage to notice that, did you? 32704 So young, and yet so tender?"
32704Sure of it?
32704Sure of that?
32704Sure of that?
32704Sure?
32704Thanks,said the stranger; and then, as he came abreast of Charlie See:"And the road to Hillsboro?
32704That horse you''ve got staked out, Mr. Jones,said Johnny, when the others were catching horses,"how about him?
32704That''s a blame fine howdy- do, ai n''t it? 32704 The shots were close together?"
32704Their hearts is bad-- can''t you see? 32704 Them fellows?"
32704Then you are not able to state that it was a calf belonging to Adam Forbes?
32704This way?
32704Thought she was blind, did you? 32704 Uncle Dan, is that why you grasping Scotchmen have crowded out the Irish round these parts?"
32704Very heavy or very tall?
32704Was he thin or fat?
32704Was my horse a small horse or a large one?
32704Was there any blood on Forbes''saddle?
32704We could n''t very well work six days gathering cattle and then turn them all loose again on the seventh day-- could we now?
32704We tried every way to make Tommy stay over-- didn''t we, Lyn?
32704Weir, you''re dead sure you can pull the trick about the papers? 32704 Well, Dines, how goes it?
32704Well, Mr. Hales, do you think that little old plug of mine will suit you?
32704Well, about how high?
32704Well, but we may lose track of him and want to spread out to look and ask, while some of us go on--"Where can I find drinking water?
32704Well, then,said Cole,"how would you like a Bar Cross mount?"
32704Well, who calls this witness-- the defense or the prosecution?
32704Well, why not-- if I did that?
32704Well,said Gwinne gently,"what''s the matter with me?"
32704Well?
32704What color was he?
32704What do you mean?
32704What do you think this is-- a town full of thugs? 32704 What is it, Uncle Pete?
32704What makes you think so?
32704What the devil do you need of more men? 32704 What the hell could I do?
32704What will it be, gentlemen?
32704What''s that? 32704 What''s the matter with you now, Dinesy?
32704What''s the matter with yours?
32704What''s the matter, you old fool? 32704 What''s the use of letting them other fellows know anything about it?
32704What''s your will?
32704What?
32704Where to?
32704Where will I report to you?
32704Where''ll we join you?
32704Where''s your stand- in? 32704 Which is your cell?"
32704Which way now?
32704Who is to tell Edith?
32704Who lives there, Edith? 32704 Why so doleful?
32704Why, Big Chump, you''re not such a bad old hoss thief, are you? 32704 Why, under the circumstances it would n''t be just right to tell you-- would it, now?"
32704Why, what''s eating you, Charlie? 32704 Will the learned counsel for the defense outline the rest of his program?"
32704Will you fire first, gentlemen of the blackguards?
32704Will you tell the court if the brand I put on this heifer calf or bull yearling was my brand or Adam Forbes''brand?
32704With trees all round, and a little vineyard? 32704 Witnesses for the defense?"
32704Wo n''t you please hush?
32704Would n''t Walter Hearn cut out your milk- pen brands as close as you would?
32704Would you know my horse again?
32704Yes, I am-- I mean, ai n''t I?
32704Yes, ai n''t it? 32704 Yes, and you had breakfast, likely-- but what do I care?
32704You are one of the Arizona Rangers?
32704You arrested young Dines?
32704You do n''t think I killed your friend, then?
32704You fear my remarks may unduly influence my decision-- is that it? 32704 You had been prospecting together?"
32704You know Perrault''s house?
32704You know there''s three cañons headin''off from MacCleod''s Tank Park? 32704 You lifted him?"
32704You see that these mules get started, will you, Pat? 32704 You see, Mister Deputy?
32704You was lying about them bears, of course?
32704You would n''t squeal, Travis?
32704''Cause why?
32704***** You remember Mr. Dick and how he could not keep King Charles''head out of his Memorial?
32704*****"And they aim to get here sudden and soon?"
32704Adam?"
32704Ai n''t I told you a hundred times, There ai n''t no money in the placer mines?
32704Ai n''t you comin''out to drink?"
32704Akins?"
32704Ambush, maybe?
32704And going to record his papers the day of discovery-- when he has ninety days for it?
32704And have they forgotten too?
32704And how about me having a confidential with my friends?"
32704And how do you get your mail at Garfield?
32704And me, just a big kid myself, what show did I have with two big grown men smooth as all that?
32704And that it was never to reach the recorder?"
32704And the Twilight horse?
32704And the story was about''nine bucks''; and it wound up with an old Mescalero saying''Wo n''t you please hush?''
32704And what I say unto you is this: How did them Indians know-- hey?"
32704And what is the battle cry of Dines, if I may ask?"
32704And what was the big idea for keeping still about that letter while they wove a rope to your neck?"
32704And why, sirs?"
32704Any more?"
32704Any of the Garfield_ gente_ implicated?"
32704Any particular haunt you have in mind?"
32704Any reward?"
32704Any rush?"
32704Any you fellows comin''with us?
32704Anything else on your mind?"
32704Are they going to hold my preliminary trial this morning or wait till after dinner?
32704Are you acquainted with this prisoner?"
32704Are you awfully angry?
32704Are you trying to make a fool out of me?"
32704Aristocracy?
32704At Garfield?"
32704Aw, what''s a- bitin''you?
32704Back this way-- or straight on?"
32704But can we prove this?
32704But how are you going to prove it?
32704But if I should make a slip, and you do have to fine me-- couldn''t you make it a jail sentence instead?
32704But in your opinion, Forbes was riding when he was killed?"
32704But that little bit is--""Strictly plutonic?"
32704But when you write her a letter addressed to yourself-- why do n''t your dad take that letter home and keep it till you come?
32704But why appoint those four men in particular?
32704But why has the prosecutor got it in for me?
32704But you saw my horse when you arrested me?"
32704Caney and Weir and Hales-- don''t you suppose they knew that letter was on the way?
32704Could you manage me a palaver with some one or two of''em after breakfast?"
32704Dead?"
32704Did he get you anywhere, See?"
32704Did n''t know I was fixing to find a gold mine, did you?
32704Did n''t you see him give Dines the papers?"
32704Did the path of the bullets range up or down from where they entered the body?"
32704Didya see his face-- all sweat and dust?
32704Do you know, I do n''t altogether trust you?
32704Do you reckon that placer hunt of Adam''s might have had anything to do with it?
32704Do you usually tote three guns, young feller?"
32704Does n''t anyone ever realize that it might be a tame business never to be wild at all?"
32704Does that come from Hillsboro?"
32704Dynamite?
32704Dynamite?
32704Dynamite?"
32704Ever eat any?"
32704Exactly what do you mean by that remark, my fair- haired child?"
32704Find any mines?"
32704Five to one-- what more do you want?"
32704Get me?
32704Got a pencil?
32704Got any beef, Bobby?"
32704Got any water in those canteens?
32704Got it in for me, and usin''this as an excuse?
32704Hales?"
32704Hard or soft?"
32704He added that he was going to lead a better life from then on, and would n''t they please hush?
32704He do n''t want to cinch me unless I''m guilty, does he?"
32704He drew Johnny aside and whispered,"See here, damn you-- did you kill that man?"
32704He was a short and heavy- set man, singularly carefree of appearance, and he now inquired with great earnestness:"Anybody mention grub?"
32704Hello, Shaky-- that you?"
32704Hob, who''s going to sell Charlie a farm?"
32704Hobby and-- and-- now who else was it?
32704Hobby did all the talking-- but who were the others?
32704How about it?"
32704How is she going to get it out of the post office?
32704How long have they been at this lay?"
32704How many eggs?
32704How would that sound?"
32704Hunting saddle horses-- again?"
32704I ai n''t named no names, have I?
32704I understand, Mr. Hales, that you three gentlemen were together when you found the murdered man?"
32704If he hits that box more than once--""Gun- shy?"
32704If he was the man that built that branding fire, how does it happen the ashes were still hot when these fellows found it?
32704If his face was bleak-- why not, for Adam, his friend?
32704If it was n''t me-- who was it?
32704If one man can cover a hundred yards in ten seconds how many yards can forty men make in the same time?
32704If one puncher can do this to you"--he surveyed the wrecked saloon with a malicious grin--"what do you expect when the John Cross warriors get here?
32704Is n''t this fine?
32704Is that him pushin''back toward the door?"
32704Is that why you made no objections?
32704Is the establishment all scientific and everything?
32704Jailer all right, is he?"
32704Jody, this is your country-- can we head him off?"
32704Johnny repeated the question:"You say, Mr. Hales, that these three shots had been fired at close range?"
32704Just below the jail?
32704Just clannishness, you think?"
32704Just turning their cattle in a neighborly way?"
32704Kirkconnel Lea they sang, and Jeanie Morrison, and Rosamond:_ Rose o''the world, what man would we d When he might dream of your face instead?_ Folly?
32704Kirkconnel Lea they sang, and Jeanie Morrison, and Rosamond:_ Rose o''the world, what man would we d When he might dream of your face instead?_ Folly?
32704Look here, fellow-- are you loose in there?"
32704Looks like both ends against the middle, do n''t it?
32704Make it two?
32704Maybe we''d better wait till he goes to sleep-- or will he lock you up?
32704Maybe you do n''t like my talk?"
32704Meddlesome?
32704Mercies first: Did you ever notice how splendidly it has been arranged that one day follows directly after another, instead of in between?
32704Mexicans, mebbe?"
32704Miss Lyn Dyer, now?
32704More coffee?"
32704My, you''re the desprit character, ai n''t you?
32704Next?
32704No objectionable-- er-- creepers, you know?"
32704No particular odds anyway, is it?
32704No?
32704Not horses?
32704Notice anything back yonder?"
32704Now who can say which was better, the hoping or the having?
32704Now would n''t that jar you?"
32704Now, Adam, no need for us to go over to your layout, is there?
32704Now, Mr. Hales, would you describe me as a large man or a small one?"
32704Only-- Great CÃ ¦ sar''s ghost, what are you now?"
32704Or will you follow a leader who plans surrender?
32704Or-- say, if you''re going that way, why ca n''t you mail a letter for me?
32704Patricians?
32704Play you a game of pool-- what?"
32704Pulling my leg?
32704Purty as a picture, ai n''t he?"
32704Remember what I told you?
32704Restlessness, shaking off restraints, insane hopes-- in that cadence of ideas what is there of haunting, echolike and familiar?
32704Restraints of society?
32704Riding?"
32704Saddles too?
32704Said he was prospecting, he did-- or did he?"
32704Say, Adam-- don''t you never carry a gun?"
32704Say, Forbes-- you ai n''t seen any strangers this way, have you?
32704Say, Mr. Gwinne, could you rustle me a razor?"
32704Say, Sam-- you send someone up with a wagon to bring Adam back, will you?
32704Say, can you straighten up this mess?"
32704Say, what the hell are you talking about?
32704Say, you mangy, moth- eaten, slab- sided, long, lousy, lop- eared parallelopipedon, are you goin''to be all night dollin''up?
32704Say-- look at that, will you?
32704Scared?
32704Shaky Akins?
32704Shall we get someone else?
32704Shall we swap?
32704She said:"I suppose you could n''t put them in the barn- yards?"
32704Smithy said''Toad''once-- notice?
32704So I''d go after my gun?"
32704So it''s at Hillsboro post office you''re the solid Muldoon, is it?"
32704So the prosecuting attorney would queer himself with this court by attempting unfair tactics?
32704So what are you going to do about it?"
32704So, thinks I, why not look in at Apache Cañon?
32704Sound Irish, do n''t they?
32704Sounds creepy, do n''t it?
32704Suppose they get a good lawyer and stick to their story?
32704Suppose you tell us about it?"
32704Swept up in a bunch of blatting bull calves like that, and me the size I am?
32704That no estranger may have some doubts?
32704That the man you met?"
32704That''s right, ai n''t it, boys?"
32704Then if we happen to find Adam Forbes by the fire where he caught young Dines stealin''a maverick of his--""How''ll you manage that?
32704Then the Mexican town was the old town?
32704Then you claim to be innocent, do you?"
32704Then you''re the party for me to jolly up when I want favors?"
32704Think I got nothing to do but hang on here by my eyelashes and argue with you?
32704Thirty dollars, you said?"
32704This spitfire- wildcat- wolf- and- my- night- to- howl thing is a new lay, is n''t it?
32704Toad Hales, is it?
32704Unfair?
32704Ve are not vit to sed in der vorevront of battles-- vat?
32704Wade?"
32704Was n''t that queer?
32704Was the letter addressed to the recorder?"
32704Whadya think I am-- an incubator kid?
32704Whadya want o''me?"
32704What are they?
32704What can I do to help?"
32704What did I tell you, you old hunk of Limburger?"
32704What do I say next?"
32704What do I want of a lawyer?"
32704What do you expect?
32704What in time do you mean by it, hey?
32704What of it?"
32704What say we go a- visitin'', then?"
32704What say?"
32704What will it be?"
32704What you got in that box, Spinal?
32704What''ll you give me for it, lock, stock and barrel, lease, cattle and cat, just as she lays, everything except the saddle stock?
32704What''s that in the yard-- crunchin''?
32704What''s the matter, feller?
32704What, sir, the hills are steep, the sand heavy, the mire is Despond- deep; for that reason will you choose a balky horse?
32704When dry weather keeps you poor and a rain hangs you?
32704When is your friend coming to break you out?"
32704When''d I ever do you any dirt?"
32704Where do we go-- on or back?
32704Where ees your saddle?
32704Where was Adam killed?"
32704Where was it?
32704Where''s Lull?"
32704Where''s that other man-- Jones?"
32704Wherever do you pick up such deplorable songs?"
32704Which way?
32704Whispering fools, you mean?"
32704Who killed a bear?"
32704Why do n''t you shoot a few lines?
32704Why should cowmen see this killing any different from anyone else?
32704Will you come?"
32704Will you explain, Mr. Dines?
32704Will you please kindly stick''em on for me?"
32704Wo n''t you coincide with me?"
32704Would it be impertinent to ask you to specify?"
32704Yes?
32704You did n''t hear any shots?"
32704You did n''t see it, then?"
32704You have n''t been wearin''the crop and split very long, have you?"
32704You know that odd bit of land, grown up to brush, that you bought of Miguel Silva?"
32704You know what you have to do?"
32704You wo n''t ever tell-- honest- to- goodness, cross- your- heart- and- hope- to- die?"
32704Your mount, that bunch?
32704Your saddle any good?"
20305A gauntlet? 20305 Am I to understand, colonel, that you refuse me permission to return to Mr. Ray in such an emergency as this?"
20305And have you telegraphed to Fort Fetterman? 20305 And how did he happen to be in the army?"
20305And there was n''t another thereabouts?
20305And was n''t it Mr. Ray who saved you when your horse was running away?
20305And what did I hear you call me?
20305And where is Mr. Ray? 20305 And you know whom he suspects?"
20305And you saw no one else at all?
20305And you still refuse to tell what your interview was about?
20305And_ are_ they so delightfully situated?
20305Any mail, Gracie?
20305Are you hit?
20305But as to Truscott''s going, what do you think, Ray?
20305But did you not know that Captain Truscott''s ventures were coming out wonderfully well?
20305But how-- but why, Grace? 20305 But what about bail, Mr. Blake?
20305But where have you been? 20305 But where is she from?
20305Captain,whispers Dana,"have you been awake all the time?"
20305Could I be gone for a couple of hours, sir, if there''s nothing else the lootenant wants?
20305Did he?
20305Did n''t Mrs. Turner say he was very attentive to her in Arizona, and that she threw him over for Captain Truscott?
20305Did you ever know such a rattlepate?
20305Did you ever see a lovelier expression in a woman''s face?
20305Did you explain to him, or rather did he ask why Mrs. Truscott could not receive his letter?
20305Did you not read much of this in my letter?
20305Did you say you never saw her husband?
20305Did you see?
20305Do you hear? 20305 Do you know how much ammunition we have left?"
20305Do you know that pistol, sir? 20305 Do you know, orderly?"
20305Do you remember the night at Sandy, Mrs. Truscott, the last scout we started out on, and how you came to see us off and wish me good luck?
20305Do you think of any place I have not mentioned where he would be apt to go?
20305Do you? 20305 Far away?"
20305Fort Fetterman? 20305 Got any spare Colts?"
20305Grace, was n''t Mr. Ray just a little bit in love with you once?
20305Happy, madam?
20305Has anything new been discovered,--have any steps been taken towards finding the murderer?
20305Has he said nothing-- nothing to indicate whom he suspects?
20305Have I startled you, Marion?
20305Have you anything from Mrs. Stannard later than the letter you spoke of this afternoon, major?
20305Have you heard anything?
20305Have you heard nothing,--no signal?
20305Have you-- have you heard anything about his being in any trouble, in anything likely to keep him from going with the regiment?
20305He could n''t well get to the regiment without going through here, could he?
20305He was hit twice, was he not?
20305He? 20305 How could I have come away without seeing my baby scholar?"
20305How did the letter come in, then? 20305 How is he?"
20305How long is it since you heard from her?
20305I say, do you know anything of Wolf''s desertion,--of its causes, of where he has probably gone?
20305I wonder if any other officer would be in such a hurry to risk his scalp in chasing the regiment? 20305 I''ve got you, Blake; what do I want of a doctor?"
20305If_ that_ does n''t knock the court- martial charges cold as a wedge, what will?
20305In heaven''s name, what has happened?
20305Is Mr. Ray in any trouble?
20305Is Mr.--Captain Truscott rich?
20305Is Mrs. Truscott ill?
20305Is it necessary for me to say how I value what you did and bore for Grace and me, Billy?
20305Is it so that Truscott comes here with his troop?
20305Is n''t that just too characteristic of Mr. Ray for anything?
20305Is n''t this Gleason''s tent?
20305It does seem a pity that Mr. Ray should have done so much to ruin his fine record, does it not, Miss Sanford?
20305Looks fine as silk, do n''t he?
20305Maidie, what does he say?
20305Mr. Blake, have you eaten a thing to- day?
20305Mr. Blake? 20305 Mr. Ray''s brother- in- law?"
20305Mr. Ray,said the colonel, abruptly,"do you know anything of the causes of Wolf''s desertion?"
20305Mr. Ray? 20305 Mrs. Turner?
20305None of those cartridges get through here_ this_ day anyhow; but how many do you suppose Mr.---- has sent up there already?
20305Now, is n''t that simply damnable?
20305Now, what on earth could have prompted him to go to Truscott''s looking like that?
20305Now,said Rallston,"why not let me be your banker?
20305Oh,_ is n''t_ that perfect? 20305 Ought we not to have gone-- I mean, ought I not to have gone?
20305Pardon me, Miss Blue- Eyes; but-- to whom did you speak?
20305Pleasant? 20305 Ray, what would you do if some one were to leave you a fortune?"
20305Ray, will you have a nip before you try it? 20305 Ride Dandy?"
20305Shall I read it, Gracie?
20305She is undeniably pretty and lady- like; but what else can any one say of her? 20305 She''s that handsome girl in the album that Grace had at Sandy, do n''t you know?
20305Still there? 20305 Sweet?
20305That? 20305 That?
20305The Autocrat of the Preakness Stable, mean you? 20305 The captain has not yet returned?"
20305There is the letter,he said;"do you want it or shall I burn it?"
20305Was Miss Sanford there?
20305Was there ever such an outrage? 20305 We all know how unequalled Mr. Truscott was; but then, were not the conditions very different, Mrs. Turner?
20305We?
20305Well, Mr. Ray, why_ should_ we send any?
20305Well, here we are, marching to- morrow, and where are your Ray and Truscott?
20305Well, shall we say to- morrow, then?
20305Well, well, well,_ did_ it nearly fighten its pessus, pessus life out with its horrid, awful, uggy beard? 20305 Well, what do you think it was?
20305What are these?
20305What can it mean, Mrs. Stannard? 20305 What can the charges be?
20305What did Truscott say about Crook''s fight with Crazy Horse?
20305What did he say about Grace?
20305What difference does it make to you, Rags?
20305What do you want to know?
20305What do_ you_ say, major?
20305What is it, Luce?
20305What is it, Mr. Gleason? 20305 What is it, sweet one?
20305What is it?
20305What is so rare as a day in June?
20305What letter?
20305What lieutenant?
20305What news do you get?
20305What on earth could that blacksmith mean by tugging out his shoe- nails?
20305What on earth do you want, Hogan?
20305What on earth shall we do, Billy?
20305What place, sir?
20305What possible reason can there be for silence, sir? 20305 What the dickens do you want it for to- night?"
20305What was the name of that droll creature who was here last April,--Drake? 20305 What was there to explain?
20305What''s he been doing now?
20305What-- must I say?
20305Where is he?
20305Where''s Green?
20305Which way, Dana?
20305Who may this swell be?
20305Who told you of it, Queenie?
20305Who''s got the time?
20305Who''s that?
20305Why did n''t he come? 20305 Why do you ask, Ray?"
20305Why no letter? 20305 Why not?"
20305Why would you decline my invitation?
20305Why, what can she want?
20305Why? 20305 Why?
20305Why?
20305Will you come and present me to the colonel? 20305 Will you say to Miss Sanford that I would greatly like to see her a few minutes?"
20305Will you stay with Grace?
20305Will you tell me why?
20305Wo n''t it be delightful to have them? 20305 Wolf,"said Ray,"have you written any letters to Mrs. Truscott since the one you left in her yard last week?"
20305Would the lootenant take care of this for me?
20305Yes; but-- what was it? 20305 You do not believe Ray guilty, do you?"
20305You will stay with us, wo n''t you?
20305You? 20305 You?"
20305_ Could_ you buy him?
20305_ What?_ Billy? 20305 _ What?_ Billy?
20305( No, fair reader, of course I do n''t mean you; but is it not just possible I may be right in saying so of Mrs.---- next door?)
20305Ah-- are you not coming in, Miss Sanford?"
20305Am I not yet''Will''to you?"
20305And did he abandon his devotions to Miss Sanford?
20305And now, free, hopeful, redeemed, what was there to wait for?
20305And was n''t Blake in a gale that morning?
20305And where is Mr. Ray?
20305And yet was it not Gleason''s unrequited attentions to our heroine that prompted much of the trouble?
20305Are you aware of the fact that Mr. Ray is quite a thing of the past?
20305At first she had been accustomed to trip in on tiptoe after a timid little knock and the query,"Do I disturb you, Jack dear?"
20305Attack them in the early morning far to the northwest?
20305Blake?"
20305Busy?
20305But in another minute, as a member of the guard ran by, Mrs. Stannard''s clear voice floated out on the night air,--"What is the matter, corporal?"
20305But is there_ no_ way?
20305But then, who could be braver in action, wiser in council, than he?
20305Ca n''t you telegraph to the regiment and have things stopped?"
20305Can I claim you in face of such an array of aspirants?"
20305Captain Truscott, what do you say?"
20305Could it be that he was going to head them off?
20305Could she have heard?
20305Could she have suspected?
20305Did any one else know?
20305Did n''t I tell you to take another hand?
20305Did n''t the captain have to go time and again just the same way in Arizona, and did n''t he always come back safely?
20305Did not the--th worship him to a man?
20305Did the lootenant tell ye how he dumped the quarthermasther in the creek?
20305Did you ever know such a reckless fellow?"
20305Did you ever see a lake on a hill before?
20305Did you hear about Ray''s message to him?"
20305Did you hear the K. O. W.''s[A] speech about her?
20305Did you suppose Mrs. Turner was possessed of all the information and would come to me with it?"
20305Do n''t you know?
20305Do n''t you know?
20305Do n''t you think we-- some of us ought to go and see if anything is the matter?"
20305Do you dream what a hero you are, I wonder?"
20305Do you fancy he will permit Mr. Ray, of all others, to be brought to trial without a friend to appear for him?"
20305Do you mean you want to go West and rejoin your regiment to do more of this Indian fighting?"
20305Do you realize that in addition to the other charges against you, you are laying yourself open to those of abetting desertion?"
20305Do you take it?"
20305Do you think any woman who deserves a thought could fail to glory in such a name as you have won?
20305Do_ I_ want to see the colonel?
20305Does the--th go?"
20305Eyes and lips and arms and breast were yearning for her, but, would she not be abashed at such a demonstration?
20305For years we have read of the Rockies, and is this possible?
20305Gleason?"
20305Gleason?"
20305Gleason?"
20305Gleason?"
20305Had any one heard?
20305Had not every other woman gushed over him and called him splendid and some of them"lovely,"while she had never yet dared speak of it at all?
20305Had you permission to leave the post?"
20305Has Ray slipped through, or-- have they caught him?
20305Has anything happened to Miss Sanford?"
20305Has there been an accident?
20305Have n''t I a right to?"
20305Have you heard nothing?"
20305Have you heard where Mr. Ray is?"
20305Have you not one little word for me?"
20305Have you seen Mr. Blake''s latest absurdity,--that slangy paraphrase of Dante at the club- room?"
20305Have you seen him?"
20305He must find words to thank her, but how could he without betraying all?
20305He returns like-- a-- the Bayard of old;_ the chevalier sans peur et-- et_----""_ Sans culotte?_"suggested Blake.
20305Her dress?
20305How came you to know anything of his private history, sir?"
20305How can I thank you enough, Gracie?
20305How could I tell you,"she broke forth impulsively,"how simply splendid I thought you-- both?"
20305How could an honest man say he regretted her going?
20305How could they exclude him at such a time?
20305How does the water get there?
20305How far is it to the prairie metropolis,--a mile and a half, you venture?
20305How is it that Hogan has him again?
20305How is it, Blake?"
20305How know you this?
20305How much had he?
20305How soon can he-- will he return here?"
20305How soon does he start?
20305How, indeed, should Mr.---- know?
20305I saw her but a moment;''twas----""You saw her?
20305I''m riding new colors; did n''t you know it?
20305If an officer does n''t_ have_ to go when his regiment is already in the field, how can your husband be required?"
20305If he were my horse, after what he has done,--after such a deed,--do you think I would let any one use him?"
20305If it were, where would be the use of heaven hereafter?
20305If you make it all safe, get word to mother that I did n''t do so badly in my first square tussel, will you?"
20305In this he was firm, and what other verdict could they arrive at?
20305Indeed, is not Mr.---- himself eager to go bail for the purchaser, since his profits are so high?
20305Indeed, was not that what Mrs. Whaling had been there to tell them already, with a simply maddening array of embellishments?
20305Is anything wrong with Jack?"
20305Is he here now?"
20305Is he wandering?
20305Is it fever already?
20305Is it money, or influence, or anything?
20305Is it true that Captain Truscott has a good deal of money now?"
20305Is it?
20305Is n''t it horrid?
20305Is she pretty?
20305Is the adjutant here?"
20305Is there anything I can do that will convey to you my appreciation of your course?"
20305Is there anything else you want?
20305Is woman to be held responsible for a row because more than one man falls in love with her?
20305It stands on a hill, does it not?
20305It was almost startling, yet-- why not?
20305It''s good to see you again; and so Dandy is here, too, is he?"
20305Just did n''t Mrs. Turner tell that interview-- with variations-- all over the garrison within twenty- four hours?
20305Just you keep up your grit, and we''ll do our level best, Dandy and I; wo n''t we, old boy?
20305Know?
20305Major Stannard, where would you locate Truscott''s command this morning?
20305Many a woman will refrain from attending the gayest of balls because her Strephon can not be there, but where is the woman who can resist a wedding?
20305May I ask if anything further has been done towards getting word back to the regiment?"
20305May I ask if he was wanted for anything especial?"
20305May I not take your hand?"
20305Mr. Billings said that?
20305Mr. Blake,_ ca n''t_ you find out from Mr. Warner what the trouble is,--what the charges are?"
20305Mrs. Stannard was to start by June 30,--why not go with her?
20305Mrs. Truscott stood silently looking after him a moment, then she turned:"Did you notice his hands, Marion?"
20305Mrs. Turner been here?"
20305Mrs. Turner?
20305Must I tell of that?
20305No sign would she give that the song was heard, but what woman would not have risked one peep?
20305Now, do you know he has been on any spree?"
20305Now, who on earth can this officer be?
20305Now, wo n''t I crow over him when he comes in to dinner?"
20305Peace, say you?
20305Poker?"
20305Pretty?
20305Ray, is it love?
20305Ray?"
20305Ray?"
20305Ray?"
20305Ray?"
20305Ray?"
20305See,--the dark blue?"
20305Shall I confess that your name is one I have envied for the last five years?
20305Shall we go in the parlor and light the lamps?"
20305Shall we stop and knock off the dust?"
20305Shall we try?"
20305She--_she_ had bought Dandy to give to him?
20305So soon, then?
20305So you heard nothing about this affair?"
20305Some one_ must_ go, and who can you send?"
20305Springs?
20305Stylish?
20305The only chance of what?
20305The outlet, you say?
20305Then the colonel''s voice was heard,--"That you, Stannard?
20305There was only one question, said Truscott,"Will Mr. Sanford consent?"
20305There were the ladies and they accosted him to know if anything were wrong,--if they had not better go to Mrs. Truscott?
20305They are out drilling or shooting, or something, all day long, and who knows but what they''ll all be ordered off somewhere the next minute?
20305They ca n''t tell Dandy''s tracks from their own then, do n''t you see?"
20305To whom consigned?
20305Truscott?"
20305Truscott?"
20305WHOSE GAUNTLET?
20305Was Mr. Ferris pleasant?"
20305Was any one so gallant, so noble, so gentle, so tender, true, faithful,--um- m- m,--sweet?
20305Was it likely that in that intervening month she should care to see much of Ray?
20305Was it not odd that you and he should each have received promotion just before marrying?
20305Was it possible the White Chief was going to beat them at their own tactics?
20305Was it-- are you vexed?"
20305Was not Indian fighting the most trying, hazardous, terrible of all warfares, and was not Jack pre- eminent as an Indian- fighter?
20305Was she pretty?
20305Was the widower bent on making the most of his time in an endeavor to fascinate the Eastern belle?
20305Were you going to pack it in the trunk?"
20305What can be the hurry?
20305What connection of the New Jersey Sanford?"
20305What could any one think but that she believed him guilty, and would have no communication with him?"
20305What could it mean?
20305What could that mean?
20305What devilish inspiration impelled the Forty- Niners to damn Monte San Pablo to go down to eternity as Bill Williams''Mountain?
20305What did I tell you?
20305What did it portend that Mrs. Stannard should have cut Mr. Gleason dead?
20305What difference does it make to him whether we''re ordered up to reinforce Crook?"
20305What do you say to that?"
20305What does it mean?
20305What good was there in borrowing trouble?
20305What had Miss Sanford to do with it?"
20305What is it, bully rook?"
20305What is that?"
20305What is the matter?"
20305What is there to warrant such flattering notice, Maidie mine?"
20305What makes me wonder is what she can want of Mr. Ray; what made_ him_ look so startled?"
20305What need you care for what a nervous woman thinks?"
20305What news for the--th?"
20305What officer or soldier ever wore one like that?"
20305What on earth are you shooting at, Mulligan?
20305What quarters did you choose?"
20305What supplies?
20305What time?
20305What was he appraised at?"
20305What was it like?"
20305What was she doing?
20305What was the secret of Mrs. Truscott''s evident uneasiness, if not agitation?
20305What was there to ask?"
20305What will Marion herself say when she hears of them as thus ruthlessly dragged to the bar of public opinion?
20305What will be said of our heroine, Marion, when these damaging particulars are brought to light?
20305What will the cold and unsympathetic and critical reader remark of the unmaidenly lack of reserve which prompted those last few lines?
20305What wonder that they could not fathom the secret of the tie that made Stannard and Truscott inseparable now?
20305What wonder was it that for days the regiment could talk of nothing but Ray?
20305What would people think-- or rather what would they say if they knew of that letter and its very comforting conclusion?
20305What would we do without her?
20305What you been drinking, Billy?
20305What''ll ye have, fellers?"
20305What''s Mr. Warner in full uniform for,--what can it mean?"
20305What''s an officer like, anyhow?"
20305What''s the use of my going back to Kentuck and being a worry to her?
20305What_ would_ the girls at Madame Reichard''s have said?
20305When did he get here, or how?"
20305When did you come?
20305When did you get it, Mrs. Stannard?
20305When does a woman look so like a stick as when her own arms hang straight down by her side while a lover''s are twining about her?
20305When were you there?"
20305When you coming?
20305When, when was Marion half so lovely?
20305When-- what was it?"
20305Where did you get this money, sir?"
20305Where is he that has done this so foul wrong?"
20305Where is it?"
20305Where is it?"
20305Where is the letter?"
20305Where was it?
20305Where was this before you put it with the things?"
20305Where''s the mate?"
20305Where-- how?"
20305Where-- when did he dare threaten that-- that angel?
20305Where?
20305Whiskey?
20305Who but a Yankee would swap the murky"Purgatoire"for Picketwire, and make Zumbro River of the Rivière des Ombres of brave old Père Marquette?
20305Who but a blackguard would think it?
20305Who could it be?
20305Who could this be?
20305Who dare asperse the sweet sincerity of feminine friendship?
20305Who gave him to me?"
20305Who has not read the story of the Little Horn?
20305Who in all that crowd could dream that Ray and Blake have vainly stormed the vestry door and found it locked?
20305Who in the old regiment had not leaped at its summons time and again?
20305Who in the--th would not?
20305Who is hurt this time?"
20305Who that saw it could doubt the forgiving nature of the gentler sex?
20305Who that was there will ever forget the scene,--the welcome those wellnigh hopeless fellows give it now?
20305Who was it to be?
20305Who was it your sister married?"
20305Who was it?
20305Who was the only person you ever saw wear a glove like that?"
20305Who will forget Benny Hodgson''s brave young face,--the pet, the pride of the whole regiment?
20305Who will forget McIntosh, striving to rally the rearmost, dragged from the saddle and hacked to death upon the sward?
20305Who''s your victim, Warner?"
20305Who_ could_ have done it?"
20305Whom could she call but him,--Mrs. Stannard and Marion being away?
20305Whom could she tell?
20305Whose is it?"
20305Why did n''t you tell me?"
20305Why did n''t you write?"
20305Why do you ask?"
20305Why is he not with his company?
20305Why is n''t he escorting them I wonder?
20305Why not claim his bride and a long leave of absence, and take her with him to see the dear old mother in Kentucky?
20305Why repeat it here?
20305Why should they be any different, any more frank in garrison than out of it?
20305Why start this evening?"
20305Why, metallic cartridges, of course, Winchester and Henry, for their magazine- rifles, do n''t you know?
20305Why?"
20305Why?"
20305Why?"
20305Why_ did n''t_ she come?
20305Will he ever forget her as she looked that night?
20305Will he ever forget the"Immortellen"?
20305Will the day ever come when the author of this will not realize in mournful retrospect what an ass he made of himself the twelvemonth previous?
20305Will you follow Ray and see?
20305Will you stop your everlasting nonsense and tell us about Truscott?
20305Will you take this to him from me?"
20305Will you try it, reader?--just you and I?
20305Will you?"
20305Would they not be with Jack in a fortnight?
20305You brought handcuffs, I suppose?"
20305You can not but see defects in her features, but who ever saw a more winning face?
20305You did n''t happen to notice where his letters were from, I suppose?"
20305You have my blessing, Billy, but--''Dost thou think because thou art virtuous There shall be no more cakes and ale?''
20305You say Wolf is an assumed name?"
20305You will come back and tell us what it is?"
20305You_ will_ go, wo n''t you?
20305_ Can_ she be sending Ray a note?
20305_ Could_ it be that the war was fought and won without him?
20305_ Gleason!_"There came from within a snort, as of one suddenly awakened, a sleepy yawn, an imbecile"Oh-- ah-- er-- who is it?"
20305_ Is_ it fancy?
20305_ Must_ he tell her to- night?
20305_ Tantà ¦ ne animis coelestibus irà ¦?_"If it was n''t Gleason, then, who was it?
20305_ Tantà ¦ ne animis coelestibus irà ¦?_"If it was n''t Gleason, then, who was it?
20305_ What_ did you say, Muldoon?
20305_ Who_ bought Dandy?
20305_ Would_ she be quite prepared for so rapturous a greeting as he longed to give her?
20305am I mad to- night?"
20305and how is communication kept up?"
20305and thin says she,''Now how much did they punish you on that court?''
20305ca n''t we go back and do it all over again?
20305delirious, delicious, delusive love, again?
20305does he mean that good- looking German?"
20305how many a time was the question asked,"What can have become of Custer?"
20305is she sweet- mannered as they say?"
20305may I ask you in, gentlemen?"
20305or, as that never- answered challenge comes:"If any man can show just cause why they may not lawfully be joined together?"
20305sings the poet, and where can a day in June be more beautiful than at this Highland Gate of the peerless Hudson?
20305this strange thing Blake had confessed to him?
20305though they knew she had a romantic streak in her, and was a worshipper of heroes?
20305was Mrs. Turner''s exclamation,"and somebody said you had been ill.""I?
20305was ever reveille so blessed?
20305was the way Mrs. Grace''s intensified thoughts would have found expression, had she dared, even to herself, to give them utterance?
20305was this a position, was this a force to be assailed by one regiment?
20305what can it be?"
20305what could it mean?
20305what have you against him?"
20305what of Miss Sanford''s visible annoyance?
20305why_ did n''t_ I have a military wedding?
20305yet how can the Indian Bureau know that Crazy Horse and Two Bears and Kicking Mule want to buy Mr.----''s bullets to kill his brother with?
43989A Scotch- Irish- Spaniard-- which seems a queer mixture, does n''t it? 43989 A man?"
43989A mule?
43989A total eclipse, is n''t it?
43989A wasps''nest?
43989Afraid of what?
43989All set?
43989And are you expecting to stay here?
43989And did he ever make any attempt to find it?
43989And did you come down through this howling storm to tell me?
43989And he has been wandering about with the old gentleman ever since, has he? 43989 And how''s poor Tim this morning?"
43989And is that all you know about it?
43989And then you go straight back to Washington?
43989And was n''t any attempt ever made to capture him?
43989And was that all the professor found?
43989And was that the end of the matter?
43989And was there nothing at all by which to identify the boy?
43989And what am I doing out here? 43989 And what did the professor do?"
43989And what do you mean to do? 43989 And what does that say?"
43989And what''s that big round thing hanging to it?
43989And what----?
43989And where was this King Philip mine?
43989And who lives in the King''s House now?
43989Any the worse for your adventure?
43989Anybody?
43989Anything the matter?
43989Are they dangerous to a man with a gun?
43989Are you sure it''s all right, Professor?
43989Are you?
43989Breakfast will be ready in two minutes; feeling pretty hungry this morning?
43989But how about the boy, Sam? 43989 But how are we going to get up there?"
43989But how can that be, Dick? 43989 But how did you do it?"
43989But how much of a day''s ride will it be to the north side of the peaks? 43989 But what about old Galvez, then?"
43989But what are these boys skulking around here for? 43989 But why should we trouble you to come back here?
43989Did he say anything about coming back, José?
43989Did you hear that? 43989 Did you notice, Dick, how thin they all were?
43989Did you think that old Galvez had sent us up here on a hunt for you or for El-- for Sanchez, I mean?
43989Do n''t they ever come down here, then?
43989Do n''t you? 43989 Do the Utes use copper arrow- heads?"
43989Do you mean that?
43989Do you suppose, then,said he,"that you are the only ones to notice the pots and pans down there at Hermanos?"
43989Do you think they''ll venture up here, José?
43989Do you think you can? 43989 Does he always come out to the well to get a drink of cold water just before he goes to bed, as he used to do?"
43989Electricity?
43989Find it?
43989Found a way down?
43989Give it up? 43989 Got a flea?"
43989Got a letter from him, then, did you?
43989Have you ever had any experience with them yourself?
43989How about those wolves? 43989 How are ye, Tim, me boy?"
43989How are you?
43989How can it be snow, when there is n''t a scrap of cloud visible anywhere?
43989How could they venture to sink shafts, when at any moment a flood might rush in and drown them all?
43989How did his straw come out longer than the other? 43989 How did the padron escape?"
43989How do they get them?
43989How do they know that?
43989How do you know? 43989 How is it you were n''t drowned-- for I see the water stood five feet deep in the tunnel?"
43989How so? 43989 How so?"
43989How was it?
43989How''s that, Dick?
43989How''s that?
43989How?
43989How?
43989Hunting what?
43989I''m afraid there''s not likely to be a''next chance,''is there?
43989I''m sorry you should have to do so, but if you must, why should n''t we travel the first stage together? 43989 Is he an Indian?"
43989Is that The Badger''s proper name?
43989Is that so? 43989 Is that so?
43989Is that so? 43989 Is that so?"
43989Is the valley inhabited?
43989Is this a regular thing, then, this flood?
43989Is this the padron?
43989It does seem so, does n''t it?
43989It does, does n''t it? 43989 It seems likely, does n''t it?
43989It would be fine, would n''t it?
43989It_ is_ a queer- colored light, is n''t it?
43989José,said Pedro,"does the padron still go to bed every night at ten o''clock, as he used to do?"
43989Not going out again to- night?
43989Not on the right, then, after all? 43989 Not used to it, are you?"
43989Nothing wrong, is there?
43989Now, do you see how this earth- bank forms a perfect square, measuring about two hundred yards each way? 43989 Oh, you have, eh?
43989Pedro,said he, without any preface,"did you ever hear of the''strong- room''?"
43989Sanchez?
43989See that, Dick?
43989Sheep?
43989Smell anything?
43989Snow, Dick?
43989So you have decided to go out, have you?
43989Suppose it is an old ditch-- where did the water come from? 43989 Suppose that there was a flume there for carrying water-- where''s the water now?
43989That was pretty good, was n''t it? 43989 That was rather funny, was n''t it?"
43989That''s all, is it? 43989 The señor means it?"
43989Then, why do you go round by way of Santa Fé? 43989 Those two men, are they to sleep in that room next the padron''s?"
43989Two others, eh?
43989Was it?
43989Was you going to ride up on Cape Horn this evening, Mr. Warren? 43989 We do, do we?"
43989Well, Dick,said I, as we sat cross- legged on the ground, eating our breakfast,"what is this idea of yours?
43989Well, but there''s another thing: how are you going to do it? 43989 Well, what luck?"
43989Well?
43989Well?
43989Well?
43989Were you in here when the flood came down?
43989What am I to do, then?
43989What are the limits of the grant?
43989What are you bringing these American pigs here for, Antonio?
43989What are you carrying that thing for? 43989 What are you stopping for?"
43989What can we do for you?
43989What did Galvez have to say?
43989What did I tell you, Dick? 43989 What did you untie the rope for, Pedro?"
43989What difference does it make whether my name is Stanley or anything else?
43989What do the people at Hermanos do for water, then?
43989What do you mean?
43989What do you mean?
43989What do you suppose it is, Dick?
43989What do you think of that?
43989What fun it would be to go and hunt for it ourselves, would n''t it?
43989What good will that do us?
43989What has he gone to Taos for?
43989What have_ you_ got to do with the Hermanos Grant, then?
43989What is Pedro''s opinion?
43989What is he riding on, Dick?
43989What is he?
43989What is it called?
43989What is it, Dick?
43989What is it, old man?
43989What is it, then?
43989What is it?
43989What is your name?
43989What mistake?
43989What sort of a looking man is this El Tejon?
43989What time is it, señor?
43989What was his explanation, then?
43989What was it, Dick?
43989What was the young man like? 43989 What''s all this for, Pedro?"
43989What''s he doing there?
43989What''s it to be?
43989What''s that for, Pedro?
43989What''s that?
43989What''s that?
43989What''s that?
43989What''s the matter with Pedro?
43989What''s the matter, Dick?
43989What''s the matter, Dick?
43989What''s the matter, Pedro?
43989What''s the matter? 43989 What''s the matter?"
43989What''s up, Pedro?
43989What''s wrong?
43989What''s your scheme?
43989When did that come down, Pedro?
43989When did you decide upon that?
43989Where are you off to, Dick?
43989Where did those old Pueblos get their water from, I should like to know? 43989 Which way should we take?
43989Who are you? 43989 Who''s that you''re talking to?"
43989Why did you suspect us of being Mexican cut- throats?
43989Why do you think so?
43989Why do you think so?
43989Why is it a puzzler?
43989Why not leave it for a hand- rail?
43989Why should he-- or anybody-- be afraid of a badger?
43989Why should it be more common there than elsewhere?
43989Why, how did_ you_ know anything about them?
43989Why, if the mine is on the_ left_ of the creek, what was that bridge for up above here, crossing over to the_ right_?
43989Why?
43989Will you tell me about it, sir?
43989Wind, Jeff?
43989Wind?
43989Wo n''t that shot scare all the deer out of the country?
43989Yes,said I; and addressing the stranger again, I added:"So it was the copper mine you were seeking after all, was it?
43989Yes,said I; and repeating my question, I asked:"Who are you, and where are you?"
43989You are not afraid of wolves, are you?
43989You do n''t suppose they are hunting us, Dick, do you?
43989You live in Washington, do you?
43989You made a pretty good guess, did n''t you?
43989You think that rather strange, do n''t you? 43989 You think you must go back, do you?"
43989A Mexican, you say?
43989A bow?"
43989A pretty miserable condition for the poor people, is n''t it?
43989And does n''t this man, Galvez, with his superior intelligence-- presumably-- know anything of the King Philip mine?"
43989And how had he disappeared again?
43989And how should they suspect?
43989And is that all?"
43989And the professor, I suppose, concludes that the Mexicans down there at---- What''s the name of the place?"
43989And was the donkey killed?"
43989Are the wasps alive at this time of year?"
43989Are we going to have a change?"
43989Are you Americans?"
43989Are you expecting to make a long stay?"
43989Are you going down to Hermanos?
43989At length he turned to me, who had come up close beside him, and said:"Can he always do that?"
43989But by whom, and where?"
43989But how about the professor, Dick?
43989But how about when you come back?"
43989But how?
43989But what chance had he in a race with five long- legged, half- starved timber- wolves?
43989But you want to be off, do n''t you?
43989But----""But what?"
43989By way of reply, I opened my mouth with a yawn so prodigious that Dick laughingly continued:"Hungry as all that, eh?
43989CHAPTER X THE PADRON"What do you mean?"
43989CHAPTER XI THE SPANISH TRAIL"Dick,"said I, as we sat together that evening beside our camp- fire,"what do you make of it?
43989Can you do that?"
43989Dick whispered:"Do you see that white patch on the other side of the clearing?
43989Did I make a mistake?
43989Did he offer any explanation?"
43989Did you ask Pedro if he knew of any way of getting up there?"
43989Did you break off a piece from your own?"
43989Did you ever see such a chest?"
43989Did you ever see such a queer- looking specimen?"
43989Did you hear that?"
43989Do n''t you think so, Pedro?
43989Do n''t you think so, Pedro?"
43989Do n''t you think so?"
43989Do you confine yourself to silver mines, or do you deal in mines of all sorts?"
43989Do you hear me?"
43989Do you hear that faint humming?
43989Do you know what that is?
43989Do you live here?"
43989Do you notice how dark it''s getting?"
43989Do you propose, then, to make for Hermanos?"
43989Do you remember?"
43989Do you see a number of tiny specks all hurrying across the face of the sun from north to south?"
43989Do you see how the trees are thinning out?
43989Do you see that stubby pine tree growing out of the rocks and overhanging the waterfall?"
43989Do you see those two square niches cut in the face of the rock?
43989Do you see, close to the outer edge of the shelf, a sort of trough worn in the rock?
43989Do you suppose he would interfere with us?"
43989Do you think he intends to stick it out, or was he only''bluffing''?"
43989Do you understand the working of a Winchester repeater?
43989Does any one wonder now that the date of the eclipse of''78 should be so indelibly stamped on our memories?
43989Does it still look as favorable as it seemed to do last night?"
43989Does n''t it seem to you that there is a depression in the soil going off to the right and the left?
43989Does the story you refer to indicate which of the two peaks is the right one?"
43989Eh, Frank?"
43989For a moment he stood gazing blankly at us, and then exclaimed:"How in the world did you guess that?"
43989From Mosby?"
43989Going indoors, are you?"
43989Has n''t the padron ever tried to find the old source of supply?"
43989Have you any idea?"
43989He does n''t seem to be in much of a hurry, does he?
43989He had done everything he could think of for his friend, and how do you suppose his friend requited him?
43989How about book- learning now?"
43989How are we to find out?"
43989How are you going to do it?"
43989How are you off for provisions?
43989How are you, old fellow?"
43989How can he own the villagers?"
43989How did it happen?"
43989How does he happen to be in such company?"
43989How does that strike you?
43989How does that strike you?"
43989How is it with you, Frank?"
43989How is that?"
43989How is the country up there?
43989How old?
43989How will he fancy the idea of your settling down in this valley?
43989I believe that is the best way after all, unless----""Unless what?"
43989I felt certain that the trail would lead us to some pathway up the cliff; but, as it does not, what does it come down here for at all?"
43989I suppose he has never told you, has he, how he once saved his donkey from a mountain- lion?"
43989I wonder what he''ll do?"
43989If the boys are in, they''re in; if they''re not----''""Well, if they''re not---- What?
43989In fact, it is as certain as anything can be that there is a way up somewhere, or else, how did the Pueblos get over there in the first place?
43989Is it a bargain?"
43989Is it near here, then?"
43989Is n''t there any way of increasing it?"
43989Is that the professor''s opinion?"
43989Is the grant worth it?
43989It is n''t possible, is it, Dick,"I asked, as the thought suddenly occurred to me,"it is n''t possible that they can have used wheeled vehicles?"
43989It was a splendid chance; nobody could ask for a better target; but do you think I could hold that rifle steady?
43989José shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands, palms upward, as much as to say,"Who knows?"
43989Leaning back against a tree- trunk and stretching out his feet to the fire, Arthur began again:"Did you ever hear of the Espinosas?"
43989Look here, old man, is n''t there_ anybody_ who would go?
43989Man on horseback?
43989Mexican bandits, or something of the sort, were n''t they?"
43989Now, why should it be called the King''s House?
43989One more question, please: Did old Galvez send you up here?"
43989Pretty accessible?
43989Rather a rough- and- tumble monarch, is n''t he?
43989See?
43989So he professed not to know my name, did he?
43989So saying, Uncle Tom jumped to the ground, and hastening forward, held out his hand, exclaiming:"How are you, Herr Bergen?
43989So the stranger went off, did he?
43989So you are determined to go through with this thing, are you?
43989So you remember us, do you?
43989So, then, Dick, it is settled, is it, that we go ahead?
43989So, we decide to go on, do we?"
43989Take hold of my feet, will you, while I stick my head over the edge and see?"
43989That''s the plan, eh?"
43989The Professor Bergen who wrote to your father-- that''s the right name, is n''t it?"
43989The man wo n''t be persuaded to come out, and no one can get in to drag him out-- so what''s to be done?"
43989The professor says it was once an arm of the sea-- and it looks like it, does n''t it?
43989The question is, how are_ we_ to get over there?"
43989There''s no sign of a change, is there?"
43989They had it once-- where is it now?"
43989They would say,''What''s the use?
43989To- morrow?"
43989Up in these mountains somewhere, did n''t they?
43989Was he a Mexican or an American?"
43989Was n''t that the way of it, Pedro?"
43989Well, what then?"
43989Were n''t you?"
43989What about his treatment of Pedro?"
43989What are we going to do?
43989What are we to do now?"
43989What are you driving at?"
43989What are you thinking about, Dick?"
43989What bridge?
43989What do you make of that?"
43989What do you mean?"
43989What do you mean?"
43989What do you say?
43989What do you say?"
43989What do you say?"
43989What do you suppose your father will do?
43989What do you think, Pedro?"
43989What do you think, Pedro?"
43989What do you think?"
43989What had happened?
43989What has become of that supply?
43989What is it you think you have discovered?"
43989What is it?"
43989What is it?"
43989What is that black speck down there toward the village?
43989What is that thing he is carrying in his left hand?
43989What is this, Dick?"
43989What is your idea, Dick?
43989What is your idea?
43989What then?"
43989What time is it, Pedro?"
43989What was he up to?
43989What was that?
43989What will your Uncle Tom say?
43989What''s it all about?"
43989What''s that?"
43989What''s the first move, then?"
43989What''s the matter with Pedro?"
43989What''s your idea, then?
43989Where are you?"
43989Where did they come from?
43989Where do you, yourselves hail from, if I may ask?
43989Where does he get his copper?
43989Where had the man sprung from?
43989Where''s young Frank?"
43989Which of you is Dick?"
43989Who is the boy, Warren?"
43989Who would have guessed how soon we were to get that chance?
43989Who''s this coming?"
43989Why do you ask?"
43989Will he be willing that you should stay out in this country and take to wheat- raising and ditch- building and so forth?"
43989Will this snow drive you out?"
43989Will you come with us, Pedro?"
43989Without knowing the reason for this move, I did the same, and on my making a motion with my eyebrows, as much as to say,"What''s up?"
43989Wo n''t they come across the bridge?"
43989Would you let me go, Professor?"
43989You do n''t think, then, that there is any danger to us?"
43989You propose to go grouse- shooting to- morrow, do you?
43989You remember he told me to look out for a change of weather?
43989You say he shot the wolf with a copper- headed arrow?
43989You want a copper mine?
43989You''re a newcomer, are n''t you?
43989You''ve never seen pack- burros at work in the mountains, have you?
43989cried Dick, and,"Where?"
8132''And why the devil do you want me to spare him?'' 8132 ''Dare not do what?''
8132''Do you get champagne in Canada, Aunty?'' 8132 ''How is that, Grace?''
8132''How shall we be able to accomplish it? 8132 ''Is n''t Hannah back yet?''
8132''Is the horse ready?'' 8132 ''Oh, do n''t we?''
8132''She sleeps with you?'' 8132 ''Well, Grace,''I said,''how is it with you now?''
8132''When did she say she would be back?'' 8132 ''Where''s Hannah?''
8132''Why do you doubt my word, Macdermot? 8132 ''Wife,''he said,''whose cart is this standin''at the door?
8132''Will you not stay till after dinner, Sir?'' 8132 ''Would it not be glorious fun?''
8132''You are not in earnest, Grace?'' 8132 A doll that could speak?
8132And pray,continued she, with the same provoking scrutiny,"how old do you call yourself?"
8132And the brother?
8132And those two little boys; what are they here for?
8132And what account does the lad give of himself?
8132And what caused your son''s separation from his uncle?
8132And what struck you most when you got there?
8132And you are going to Quebec for no other purpose than to look at Lord Elgin? 8132 Are they fools?"
8132Are you in earnest?
8132Are you very young?
8132As how?
8132As how?
8132As that is the case, perhaps you can tell me if I am likely to have a good house to- night?
8132Away from whom? 8132 But airn''t you greatly troubled with headaches?"
8132But what can I do?
8132But what is it about?--Have you got it with you?
8132But who cares about the poor, whether they go into mourning for their friends or no? 8132 But why, then, make a show of that which you do not feel?"
8132Can she carry us?
8132Could these Falls ever have receded from Queenstone?
8132Dare I? 8132 Did Mrs. H--- lose much in the fire last night?"
8132Did he pay you the money?
8132Did you ever have it before you took the pledge?
8132Do you expect a professional price for your services?
8132Do you_ reelly_ think it would serve me?
8132Grace asked if she should get his breakfast? 8132 Half a dollar?
8132Half a dollar?
8132Have you been sick?
8132Have you seen the bride yet? 8132 Ho, ho, mister,--is that you?
8132How could sensible, good men, condemn poor old women to death for being witches?
8132How was that?
8132How will the funeral expenses ever be paid?
8132How?
8132I guess,she said,"that you are a married man?"
8132I say, Mrs. C---, how be you?
8132I want to ask you a question,she said, laying her very white hand confidingly on my arm;"were those Englishmen quizzing my sister and me?"
8132Indeed, Biddy, what did he scold you for?
8132Is Mr. C--- your brother?
8132Is he handsome?
8132Is he not a glorious old fellow?
8132Is not that bee- u- tiful?
8132Is she not? 8132 Is that your baby, Cissy?"
8132Katrine, where are you?
8132Look,said he;"Now where is Henry Hertz; and Henry Russell, where is he?
8132Need you ask that question?
8132Now, Mr.---, was it not too bad of you to make that man break his pledge?
8132Now,thought I,"what is this clever fellow going to do?"
8132Oh, mother,he murmured,"is that the way you treat the lady?"
8132Perhaps the cold water does not agree with you?
8132Perhaps, Mr. Browne,said I,"you took it for the ghost of the old mare?"
8132Perhaps,said I, losing all patience,"you would prefer a family ticket?"
8132Sackcloth? 8132 She put down the pails,--she sprang towards me, and, clinging to my arm, exclaimed in frantic tones--"''You wo n''t kill him?''
8132The poor creature turned away, and I left her, for who could say a word of comfort to such grief? 8132 The woman that writes?"
8132To visit friends?
8132Was it any relation of yours?
8132Well, Anne, is Mr.--- dead?
8132Well, arn''t that too bad?
8132Were you ever in the United States?
8132What are her friends thinking about to let that young gal marry that old bald- headed man?
8132What detained you so long, James? 8132 What did you admire in them?"
8132What did you expect to see in her?
8132What is it?
8132What next?
8132What shall we do for firewood when all the forests are burned?
8132What think you of a small wine- glass of brandy just before taking dinner?
8132What will they find out next? 8132 What will you have now?"
8132What''s all this noise about?
8132What''s the damage?
8132Where is he? 8132 Where is the bank?"
8132Where shall I get the best room?
8132Who is Jeanie Burns? 8132 Who is that tall, stout, handsome man, with the fat lady on his arm, who has just entered the room?"
8132Why do you shut your eyes?
8132You believe that God will pardon you, Michael, for Christ''s sake; but have you forgiven all your enemies?
8132You do n''t say?
8132You have seen a great deal of the world?
8132You wish me to give you a double ticket?
8132''Do these men preach for their own honour and glory, or for the glory of God?
8132''What are you doing here?''
8132''What is she better than us?''
8132( aloud) Do you think that I would waste my talents in singing trash that any jackass could bray?
8132After a long pause, and another searching gaze,"Do you call those teeth your own?"
8132After a pause, scratching his head, and shuffling with his feet,"I s''pose you ginnerally give the profession tickets?"
8132After standing here, and looking at them for some minutes, she drawled through her nose--''Well, I declare, is that all?
8132Ai n''t you the chap as is a- goin''to give us the con- sort this evening?"
8132An''could he have done worse had he stuck a knife into his heart?"
8132And have I come eighteen miles to look at you?
8132And pray how many hares did you catch, Alderman John?''"
8132And the Old English Gentleman, Martin Luther, what has become of him?
8132And why, we ask, should death be invested with such horror?
8132And why?
8132And you, John L---, Alderman L---, are not six days enough in the week for work and pastime, that you must go hunting of hares on a holiday?
8132Are not you indebted to the circumstances in which you are placed, and to that moral education, for every virtue that you possess?
8132Are you able to read it for yourself?"
8132At the door of the hotel I was accosted by Mr. Browne--"Why, you arn''t goin''to start without bidding me good- bye?
8132Before I could ask the cause of her dejection, she added quickly--"Dare you read a chapter from the Bible to a dying man?"
8132Browne?"
8132Browne?''
8132But did we not come on famously at the_ con- sort?_ Confess, now, that I beat you holler.
8132But how were they lost?"
8132But what do you think of the Falls?"
8132But what matters it to thee if the song is forgotten by coming generations?
8132But what of this marriage?
8132But who mistrusts the blunt, straightforward speech of the land of Burns?
8132But who now would have the fortitude and self- denial to imitate such an example?
8132But, let me ask you candidly, has not the terrible scene produced some effect?
8132CHAPTER XIX Conclusion"Why dost thou fear to speak the honest truth?
8132Can the wide world supply such another?
8132Can you forget its existence,--its shocking reality?
8132Can you wonder, then, that I am so depressed?
8132Did he not break his heart, and turn him dying an''pinniless on the wide world?
8132Did he not condescend to bow that God- like form over the carpenter''s bench, and handle the plane and saw?
8132Did not you see that fine drove of cows pass the hotel at sunset?"
8132Did our first father, amidst the fresh young beauty of his Eden, ever gaze upon a spectacle more worthy of his admiration than this?
8132Did she remember me on her death- bed?''
8132Did you hear how old P--- was to- day?"
8132Did you not notice the arrival of Mr. P--- among the list of distinguished foreigners that honoured your great city with their presence?"
8132Do you think I want to hang myself?''
8132Does it afford any consolation to the living?
8132Does it confer any benefit on the dead?
8132Does it soften one regretful pang, or dry one bitter tear, or make the wearers wiser or better?
8132G---?"
8132Had Willie nae word for me?''
8132He fell-- by one dark vice defiled; Was I more pure-- his erring child?
8132He naturally inquired if her husband was better?
8132How dar''d you to leave the cradle widout my lave?"
8132How much dew you ax to come in?
8132How much is there of it?"
8132How was she dressed?
8132I asked the age of her son?
8132I asked the gentleman who showed us over the building, what country sent the most prisoners to the Penitentiary?
8132I can weel imagin''the flutterin''o''her heart, when she spiered o''the coarse wife''if her ain Willie Robertson was at hame?''
8132I s''pose you are going to give an extra sing here-- ain''t you?"
8132If I live until the morning, will you, Madam, come and read to me again?"
8132In what, then, does my ingratitude to the_ Irish people_ consist?
8132Is he better or worse?"
8132Is he married?"
8132Is he_ dangerous_?"
8132Is it a bargain?"
8132Is it not a reproach to Him, who, in his wisdom, appointed death to pass upon all men?
8132Is it not sinful to doubt the power of that Being, who fed a vast multitude from a few loaves and small fishes?
8132Is it not terrible for ladies to have to dance in the same room with storekeepers and their clerks?"
8132Is n''t he a fine clever little chap?"
8132Is n''t that something_ oncommon?_ I took it for a real child.
8132Is she tall, or short?
8132Is you acquainted with the man who is a- goin''to give a sing in your town to- night?
8132Lively, or quiet?"
8132M---?"
8132Michael, shall I commence now?"
8132Might not the arm of diligence make the tangled wilderness a garden?
8132Might not the wide waste sea be bent into narrower bounds?
8132Morally or physically, does it produce the least good?
8132My husband asked the son of a respectable farmer, for whom he entertained an esteem, how his father was, for he had not seen him for some time?
8132N---?"
8132Of a bright summer evening( and when is a Canadian summer evening otherwise?)
8132Often have I asked the poor Catholics in my employ why such and such days were holy days?
8132On returning to the sick room, Michael eagerly asked what the doctor thought of him?
8132On what footing do they stand with their white brethren?
8132Pretty, or plain?
8132Says he to the doorkeeper,"What''s a- goin on here?"
8132She sat upon the bed, and looked cautiously round--"Hist!--did not you hear a voice?
8132Smiling as the morning fair; Why do we confiding trust In trifles light as air?
8132Stupid, or clever?
8132Suddenly he came up to me, and extending his hand, exclaimed,--"Why, Mister H---, is this you?
8132Tell me, James, something about her?"
8132That is-- I want to say-- what are you goin''to chearge a ticket?"
8132The men are bad enough, but the women,--I dare say you have heard them called handsome?"
8132The musician moves among his fellow- men as a sort of privileged person; for who ever suspects him of being a rogue?
8132The smooth tones of the blarney may flatter our vanity, and please us for the moment, but who places any confidence in those by whom it is employed?
8132Then she turned to me, and whispered very confidentially in my ear,"Are you mad?
8132Then wherefore should we hang out this black banner for those who are beyond the laws of change and chance?
8132Then, taking my seat at the piano with as much confidence as Braham ever had, he run his hand over the keys, exclaiming"What shall I sing?
8132Three books for forty pupils?
8132To my great astonishment it ran as follows:--"My Dear Roberts,"How do you do?
8132To the boys:"What, nobody got a piece of chalk?
8132Was it possible that she could escape drowning amid such a mad roar of waves?
8132Was she not young and lovely still?
8132What berth are you goin''to take?"
8132What do you think of Canada?"
8132What do you think of her?
8132What good can it do?"
8132What have they done?"
8132What ill Press''d the warm life- hopes from her heart?
8132What is it worth?"
8132What is that to me?
8132What shall I send you home-- sirloin, ribs, a tender steak?"
8132What sort of a noise do you call that?
8132What sort of an animal do you suppose him to be?"
8132What value do they place upon the negro beyond his price in dollars and cents?
8132What were you saying just now to that boy?''
8132When we were half- way, the question rose in my mind--"What if the cable should give way, where should we land?"
8132When will men be worthy of the paradise in which they are placed?
8132Where are your steelyards?"
8132Where is the need of all this black parade?
8132Where, where is my fiddle?
8132Which side of the bed does she lie on?''
8132Which way did she go?''
8132Who is dying?"
8132Who is ill?
8132Who the devil would think it worth their while to break into the harness house to cut a saddle, when they could have carried it off entirely?
8132Who''s got a piece of chalk?"
8132Would any other creed suit them as well?
8132an''what do these people want here?''
8132and_ you_ here?"
8132are you turned coward now?''
8132cried the landlord;"ca n''t you lift the valance and see what it is?"
8132did not you hear about it?
8132for Columbia''s_ sable sons!_ Where is their equality?
8132for was he not one of you?
8132heard ye not a sound?"
8132how sud I ken that Willie Robertson-- my ain Willie-- had a wife?
8132if you were so well off, what brought you to a poor country like this?
8132is that man mad or drunk?"
8132is thy memory and thy faith greater than the attachment of this poor, and, as we term him, unreasoning brute, to his dead master?
8132my bhoy!--why did you die?--Why did You lave your frinds, and your money, and your good clothes, and your poor owld mother?"
8132rise and say, What in Fancy''s glass you see-- A city crown this lonely bay?
8132said I,"that''s very unusual in a canal- boat; were any lives lost?"
8132she cried;"what business is it of yours?
8132thought I,''can this be a woman?
8132we shall all go to the bottom, and find eternity there-- Captain captain-- where be we?"
8132what do you mane by disturbing him in his dying moments wid yer thrash?
8132what next will the love of gain suggest to these gold- worshippers?
8132when will the long horror of her punishment and remorse be over?
8132why should he escape more than Hannah?
23374A big one, aunt?
23374A black fellow?
23374ALONG O''THAT THERE NIGGER?
23374ARE YOU AFRAID?
23374Ah, Ned,said the former,"heard the news?

23374And pray who is to protect your mother and sisters and aunt, eh?
23374And the black came to you for help?
23374And their wives too?
23374And this line-- Oh, I ca n''t explain it, Rifle, can you?
23374And you laughing too?
23374And you, German?
23374Another,he said quietly; and taking Tim''s gun as the sound of loading went on, he suddenly cried,"Who''s at the back?"
23374Any one hurt?
23374Anything wrong?
23374Are cockatoos?
23374Are the black fellows gone?
23374Are there no other dangerous creatures infesting water, sir?
23374Are they gone?
23374Are we always to be looking after the cattle and building?

23374But are you better?
23374But could n''t you get some one else to look for her?
23374But have you been to try and find her?
23374But how are we going to find our way back?
23374But how many did you see?
23374But how-- how was it?
23374But they will not come again after such a fright, will they?
23374But what was it?
23374But you will have a bit of the river too?
23374But you will not be very hard upon him, father?
23374But you will not sit up for him alone?
23374But, Tim, are they good?

23374Come,he whispered,"is this being brave and setting the boys a good example?"
23374Coming back, sir? 23374 Could n''t we pen three or four?
23374Crept away? 23374 Did mamma and the girls come out because we cheered?"
23374Did n''t you kill it, Shanter?

23374Had n''t you better take up land where you can get help if you want it?

23374Had''nuff? 23374 Hansum?
23374Has she been eating some poisonous weed?
23374Have I done right?

23374Have you got it, Tim?
23374Have you, Rifle?
23374Hear um''peak?
23374Here, what''s the matter?
23374Here,cried Norman;"what for you come along steal flour?"
23374Hetty,cried Ida, ceasing,"what is it?"
23374Hey? 23374 Hey?
23374Horrid, ai n''t they?
23374How are we to find our way back?
23374How are you getting on?
23374How big?
23374How can I tell that he is not going to lead us into some ambush, where his tribe will murder us and seize upon our goods and stores?
23374How dare you come stealing here in the dark and meddling with my horses?
23374How do I know that he does?
23374How do you know, sir?
23374How do you know?
23374How do you know?
23374How do you like Australia, Sam?

23374Hungry again?
23374I only wish they would, eh, Henley?
23374I say, Rifle, do n''t you feel nervous coming right out here where there is n''t a soul?
23374I say, Sam, which did you put in first, the powder or shot?
23374I say, boys, how long could we hold out?
23374I say, boys, we are n''t afraid of one, are we?
23374I say, boys,he exclaimed,"whereabouts are we?"
23374I say, does n''t it seem rum? 23374 I say, father,"cried Rifle,"when are we to go off on an expedition and have some hunting and fishing?
23374I say, go and leave that there garden, with all them young trees and plants just a- beginning to laugh at us and say what they''re a- going to do? 23374 I say, why not shoot one?"
23374I say, you do n''t mean it?
23374I say,cried the latter, watching his cousin curiously, as he was munching away fast;"they are n''t good, are they?"
23374Ida''s favourite?
23374If that''s a native,said Raphael,"he has come out of his shell, eh, Tim?"
23374Ill?
23374In a tree?
23374Injun corn, eh? 23374 Innocent?
23374Is one kind of bird peculiar to this country, then?
23374Is that the way that fellow means to kill us?
23374Is the ship going down?
23374It was you that made the row?
23374It''s over two hours since we have heard them: all gone along, eh?
23374Let''s see; there was the black, the snake--"Snake? 23374 Little Marmi want myall black fellow come along?"
23374Look here, about the line: do n''t you know that there''s a north pole and a south pole?
23374Look here,cried Tim;"are either of you two going to taste one of these things?"
23374Make um all cry,said the black, apostrophising Aunt Georgie; then, turning to the captain,"Big white Mary wo n''t tick knifum in poor Shanter?"
23374Makum fire, makum damper, pot a kettle tea?
23374Marmi baal go along?
23374Marmi gib Shanter plenty horse fellow ride?

23374Me, sir-- prejudiced?
23374Mine throw? 23374 Ned, old fellow, what is it?"
23374No tick a knifum in Shanter?
23374No tick a knifum in?
23374No, no, it''s gone; but what are you doing here?
23374No: that is our weakest place,said the captain;"but I''ll soon set that right.--See anything of them, boys?"
23374Nor you, boys?
23374Norman, my dear, how can you be such a rude child?
23374Norman-- Rifle-- Tim?
23374Not find her?
23374Not give tickpence drive bullockum?
23374Not going to turn back, then?
23374Not in a hot country like this?
23374Not let you ride in the day, sir? 23374 Not seen her to- day?"
23374Not suspicious, then?
23374Not there?
23374Not when the savage knows better?
23374Now for my bread and water,he said.--"Have some damper, Shanter?"
23374Now, German, ready with the bars? 23374 Now,"said Rifle;"was I right?"
23374Oh yes, he has hung about here for a long time now, and picked it up wonderfully.--You can talk English, ca n''t you, Ashantee?
23374Oh, Edward dear,cried Mrs Bedford,"you will not go farther into the wilderness?"
23374Oh, Master Raffle, do n''t you turn again me, too.--He''s too hard, ai n''t he, Master''Temus?
23374Oh, could we?
23374Oh, dare n''t I? 23374 Oh, they''ll send us something, and-- look, look-- what are those?"
23374One moment, sir,cried the doctor, interrupting;"will you come and settle near your fellow- creatures?"
23374One?
23374Or kangaroo?
23374Physic? 23374 Pier, Master Norman?"
23374Pity?
23374Plaint''em? 23374 Rain, aunt?
23374Rather horrible,said Uncle Jack, quietly;"eh, Norman, lad?
23374Rifle, Tim,whispered Norman, in horror,"could n''t we get out by the front and take them down to the scrub?
23374Rough? 23374 See anything?"
23374See the kangaroos?
23374See what?
23374Seems ruin, does n''t it?
23374Seen anything of him, father?
23374Seen anything, father?
23374Shall I go and tell the captain?
23374Shall I speak, Henley?
23374Shall I?
23374Shall we be able to stay here, father?
23374Shall we call father and tell him first?
23374Shall we cooey?
23374Shall we go and try ourselves?
23374Shall we relieve guard, father?
23374Shanter catch sheep fellow, eat mutton?
23374Shanter, Shanter, old fellow, ca n''t you speak?
23374She were loaded this time, master,he said fiercely,"and some on''em knowed it.--How many did you bring down, Master''Temus?"
23374She will not have strayed far from the track, will she, Sam?
23374Six what, father?
23374So do I, uncle,cried Rifle, warmly,"for I''m sure it was n''t Shanter.--What do you think, Tim?"
23374So near the camp, and quite ignorant of our being here.--Will they come this way in the morning, Shanter?
23374Stay, boy? 23374 Strange, is n''t it?"
23374THINK YOU CAN HIT A BLACK?
23374That black fellow still here?
23374That explains it all, eh, Jack?
23374The flowers?
23374The trees? 23374 Then I need not ask you, boys?"
23374Then why did my uncle post sentries?
23374Then why did you not speak?
23374Then why do n''t you go and kill that one?
23374Then will the land grow potatoes?
23374Then you''ve lost her?
23374Think so? 23374 Think they will get round to the back to try and drive off the bullocks?"
23374Think they''re dangerous?
23374Think you can hit a black, Sam?
23374Thirty feet long, was n''t it?
23374Thirty? 23374 This ca n''t be all of it, uncle?"
23374Through the window?
23374Thrust or thrown?
23374Tink Shanter funny?
23374To bite me?
23374Uneasy, eh?
23374Want mine?
23374Was it your doing?
23374We''ve got plenty of everything, and only want to start off-- How long can you do without us, father?
23374Well then, of course you will begin a house soon?
23374Well, Norman?
23374Well, father do n''t want his cattle driven away, does he?
23374Well, girls,cried the captain, passing his arms round his daughter and niece''s waists,"what do you think of it?"
23374Well, they will not come to- night, will they?
23374Well, what are you looking at?
23374Well, what at? 23374 Well, who cares?"
23374Well, who wants wild- flowers, sir? 23374 Well, who''s boomer?"
23374Well,he cried, as he approached Tim, who was gazing intently at a patch of low scrubby trees a short distance off;"seen the enemy?"
23374Well,said Norman, running his hand along the belt,"what of it?"
23374Well; is she ill?
23374Were those club blows, father?
23374What a matter-- what a matter?
23374What about him?
23374What and scare the poor animal with his black face? 23374 What are you bound to say?"
23374What are you doing here?
23374What are you eating, Sam?
23374What are you going to do, father?
23374What can you see, Sam?
23374What can you smell?
23374What did you do that for?
23374What did you do that for?
23374What do I say, sir?
23374What do you call them, then?
23374What do you mean?
23374What do you mean?
23374What do you mean?
23374What do you say, Ned?
23374What do you say?
23374What do you want?
23374What does he mean?
23374What does he say?
23374What does the creature mean?
23374What for go along? 23374 What for tickpence?"
23374What for?
23374What for?
23374What has he brought in his bag?
23374What have I done-- what does it mean?
23374What is it, boys?
23374What is it-- what did you see?
23374What is it?
23374What is the meaning of this?
23374What made you say that?
23374What man?
23374What muddle are you talking?
23374What shall we do? 23374 What shall you do?"
23374What should we take the flour for?
23374What six- ting?
23374What the mouse colour?
23374What the red and white Alderney?
23374What would you say if I tell you I am going?
23374What''s a game?
23374What''s he going to do?
23374What''s his name?
23374What''s that, father-- lightning?
23374What''s the good now? 23374 What''s the good of flowers, sir?
23374What''s the matter, Man? 23374 What''s the matter, Man?"
23374What''s the matter, Rifle?
23374What''s the matter, Sam?
23374What''s the matter, Shanter?
23374What''s the matter, aunt?
23374What''s the matter?
23374What''s the matter?
23374What''s the matter?
23374What''s the matter?
23374What''s to be done, father?
23374What, are there really savages there?
23374What, are you afraid?
23374What, because we have seen a few blacks? 23374 What, did your knees feel all shivery- wiggle?"
23374What, down the chimney?
23374What, in the middle of the night, like this? 23374 What, old Sourkrout?"
23374What, taste this?
23374What, tell a couple o''big thumpers like that?
23374What, the bullock?
23374What, those birds?
23374What, with Shanter here?
23374What, you found that heifer?
23374What-- you mean?
23374What? 23374 What?
23374What? 23374 What?
23374What?

23374What?
23374Whatever is the matter with that cow?
23374Where all white Mary?
23374Where are you going?
23374Where big white Mary? 23374 Where is she?"
23374Where little bull- cow fellow-- go bong?
23374Where will you get your patients?
23374Where''s Shanter, Rifle?
23374Where? 23374 Where?"
23374Where?
23374Who calls us` Dingo Boys?''
23374Who needed rest more?
23374Who said I was, sir? 23374 Who said it was a bunyip?"
23374Who says it''s going to rain?
23374Who''s boomer?
23374Who''s going about always tied to a gun?
23374Who''s that?
23374Who?--savages?
23374Whom shall I send?
23374Why did n''t you shoot the savage?
23374Why have you been so long?
23374Why is she lowing like that? 23374 Why, when did we scorn gardens?"
23374Why, you are not afraid, sir?
23374Why, you blind old mole, ca n''t you see?
23374Why, you do n''t mean to say you believe poor old Shanter would steal flour, do you, aunt?
23374Why?
23374Why?
23374Why?
23374Why?
23374Will it be time enough to lock the stable door when the steed is stolen, sir?
23374Will she get better, father?
23374Will you come?
23374Wo n''t it be time enough when the black fellows come, father?
23374Work?
23374Would I?
23374Would n''t you like to go right forward?
23374Yes, Sam; but are you quite sure she has gone?
23374Yes, is n''t it, uncle?
23374Yes,said the captain, after listening for a few moments.--"Going away, Jack?"
23374You did that?
23374You do n''t understand?
23374You give Shanter tickpence?
23374You have noted that, Rifle?
23374You here, uncle?
23374You pidney?
23374You put the snake in the kitchen?
23374You saw them?
23374You think so, Jack?
23374You''re both so what?
23374You''re sure it''s quite full?
23374You?
23374--he stumbled and nearly fell--"wounded?
23374And these other things?"
23374Are n''t he expected to do something for his wittles?"
23374Are n''t the land good enough for you?"
23374Are n''t you going to have a drop yourself?"
23374Are the other windows fast?"
23374Are those what they are?"
23374Are we going to anchor close up to that pier thing?"
23374Are you?"
23374Big fire where?
23374Big white Mary gib Shanter plenty soff damper now?"
23374Bright sunshine, a glittering river, waving trees, a glorious atmosphere, and dear old Dame Nature smiling a welcome.--What do you say, Jack?"
23374Budgery?"
23374But I say, father, sha n''t we have time to fish and shoot?"
23374But what are you going to do?"
23374But why were they there, then?
23374But you have not heard them all night?"
23374But you see, do n''t you?"
23374Ca n''t yer see for yourselves, you young gents, as things wo n''t grow here proper?"
23374Can nothing be done?"
23374Certainly, they knew that the sea lay somewhere due east, but even if they could reach the sea, where would they be-- north or south of a settlement?
23374Come along all dark?"
23374Come now, did n''t you?"
23374Damper?"
23374Damper?"
23374Did you throw that spear, Shanter?"
23374Do n''t you see?
23374Do you hear?
23374Do you suppose I keep horses for you?"
23374Do you think they will stay till they''ve killed us all?"
23374Fine sugar- bag-- kill poss?
23374Funny?
23374Give him some water?"
23374Grow taters, will he?
23374Had n''t we better go and rouse up father?"
23374Hardly likely, is it?"
23374Have you seen one?"
23374Have you the gun handy?"
23374How dare you come here?"
23374How does he know as they''ll grow?"
23374How far do you mean to go to- night?"
23374How far do you think it is-- eight miles?"
23374How far do you think we are from the nearest neighbours, Edward?"
23374How then?"
23374How was it?"
23374How''s it to be done?"
23374I daresay we shall know more about them by- and- by.--What made you go forward, Tim, when Rifle came to you-- to look at the kangaroos?"
23374I never see no line?"
23374I say, Man, do n''t you wish we were all safe somewhere else?"
23374I say, Tim, feel frightened?"
23374I say, could n''t we all make an attack upon them in their camp?"
23374I say, it is n''t the colt, is it?"
23374I say, see them chaps yonder?"
23374I say, whoever would have thought of their doing that?"
23374I say-- no games-- are they really nice?"
23374I would n''t give up in your place.--Will you speak now, Henley?"
23374India- rubber?"
23374Inger- rubber?
23374Is n''t it, Man?"
23374Is n''t that what you mean?"
23374Is that fellow in collusion with the people coming on?"
23374Is that how English ladies should encourage those who are fighting for their lives?"
23374Is there some black on my nose?"
23374It''s my poor Jersey, and-- goodness gracious, what is the matter with her tail?"
23374Look here, Shan, are you afraid?"
23374Man?"
23374Marmi Tim shoot?
23374Mine find big white Mary over there?"
23374More tea?"
23374Not want something to eat?"
23374Now about that black.--Here, Jack, what do you say?
23374Now tell me this, What colour ought green trees to be?"
23374Now, can we do any more?"
23374Now, tell me this, do I ever refuse to grant you boys any reasonable enjoyment?"
23374Pray, where is your compass?"
23374See some game over yonder?"
23374Shall I fire?"
23374Shall I fire?"
23374Shall I fire?"
23374Shall I give up?
23374Shall I start back at once?"
23374Shall I, after putting my hand to the plough, want faith and go back?"
23374Shall he put it in the kitchen?"
23374Shall we dress again, and go and offer to help?"
23374Shall we start?"
23374Stolen?"
23374That colt?"
23374That thought was-- suppose all our horses''footprints are washed away?
23374The only difference seems to be that it has a crest.--But how much farther do you make it to the tree, German?"
23374Then as he picked it up--"Shall we trust to what he said?
23374Then to the black,"They will not come to- night?"
23374Then turning to Ida:"Do you think it is three days since you have seen the heifer?"
23374Then, turning to Aunt Georgie,"Big white Mary gib soff damper?"
23374Think I want to make a schoolboy''s pop- patch?
23374Think I''m going to turn savage because I''ve come to Australia?
23374Think the horse has n''t got enough to drag without you?
23374Think they''ll come?"
23374This was only from a few yards away, and directly after a familiar voice shouted:"Why baal not call along coo- ee?
23374Was it, after all, to surprise the camp, and was Shanter holding him down to be made a prisoner or for death?
23374We will go straight across from here to that hill-- mountain I ought to call it.--Do you see, German?"
23374What are we going to do for neighbours when we get there?"
23374What are you loaded with?"
23374What birds are those?"
23374What could it be?
23374What did it mean?
23374What did we say last night about being lost in the bush?"
23374What do you mean?"
23374What do you say?"
23374What have you heard?"
23374What is the matter with the black?"
23374What physic?
23374What say?"
23374What should he do?
23374What should we do?"
23374What would you do, Jack?"
23374What''s in a name?"
23374What''s that?"
23374What''s the good o''being hansum if you ai n''t useful?"
23374What?"
23374Where are they?"
23374Where are they?"
23374Where have you been?"
23374Where''s Shanter?"
23374Where?"
23374Which way?"
23374Who ever saw rabbits that size?"
23374Who is this?"
23374Who kill boomer?
23374Who saw him go?"
23374Who''s going to be jolly, transported for life out here like a convick?
23374Why did n''t you shoot it?"
23374Why did n''t you speak, Tim?"
23374Why do n''t you build a house and stop without going farther?"
23374Why is father signalling?"
23374Why would not the captain allow bathing when we were in the tropics?"
23374Why, ca n''t you see?
23374Why, it''s Christmas in about a fortnit''s time, and are you going to tell me this is Christmas weather?
23374Why, what more do you want?
23374Why, where are the boys gone?"
23374Wife, girls, boys, what do you say to this for Home, sweet home?"
23374Will that satisfy you?"
23374You gib damper?"
23374You pidney?
23374You pidney?"
23374You pidney?"
23374You pidney?"
23374You went for help, Tam?"
23374You''re black,"cried Rifle, fiercely.--"You do n''t think it was Shanter, do you, Man?"
23374and you two went to see?"
23374are we?"
23374asked the captain;"how did you know?"
23374cried Aunt Georgic, looking nervously round;"you do n''t mean that we shall meet with enemies?"
23374cried Norman, angrily.--"Here, aunt, what''s the matter?"
23374cried Rifle, excitedly;"twenty feet?"
23374cried the captain fiercely, as hanging back in a half- bashful manner the black allowed himself to be dragged right up to the light,"what do you mean?
23374cried the captain,"a number of black fellows coming to kill us?"
23374cried the captain;"what''s that?"
23374he said at last, in a husky voice,"are there crocodiles in the river?"
23374he said softly;"have I done right?"
23374he whispered hoarsely;"what''s that?"
23374is he?"
23374make um laugh?
23374said Norman,"and see what the country''s like?"
23374what are they?"
23374when?"
23374whispered Uncle Jack;"are you going to trust him?"
23374you there, boys?"
27505''Does n''t she look like a drudge?'' 27505 A doctor, do n''t you ricolleck?
27505A horse of iron might, too, but who''s got a critter in Grass River Valley right now that could make a trip like that? 27505 A sunflower letter like I used to send to Quippi?"
27505About what?
27505About what?
27505Alice Leigh Shirley, are you crazy?
27505All right, but what was the second reason for the one doorway? 27505 Am I wrong, mother?
27505And duty?
27505And his family?
27505And if I do n''t go?
27505And if papa''s defeated we stay home all winter, eh?
27505And leave your papa and mamma?
27505And that is--?
27505And that niece, Tank''s girl, he was to protect for Alice Leigh?
27505And what''s to hinder your getting the pretty girl you want if she understands and you are swift enough to cut off the enemy from a flank movement?
27505And why do you do it? 27505 And you can not promise that any more will be coming soon?"
27505And you paid how much?
27505And you saw so many fine things?
27505And you, Carey?
27505And you, Thaine? 27505 Any calls while I was gone?"
27505Any of these claims ever been entered?
27505Are n''t you jealous of Todd?
27505Are you afraid, like Jo Bennington? 27505 Are you so afraid of women?
27505Are you still looking for a letter that will bring Prince Quippi back?
27505Are you tired, Virgie?
27505As for instance?
27505Asher, if you had your choice this minute of all the things you might be, what would you choose to be?
27505But how can I send?
27505But it was so like-- what?
27505But the little girl, what''s her name? 27505 But what do you call my life work, father?"
27505But why must we fight at all, Thaine? 27505 But why must you go?
27505But why not take the cool road? 27505 But you do n''t object, Father?"
27505But, Bo Peep, why do you not believe we''ll have Horace here again?
27505But, Jo, ca n''t a fellow have half a chance, anyhow? 27505 Ca n''t there be no more little children where there''s grasshoppers and Darley Champerses?"
27505Ca n''t we go down to the grove and see the lilies this afternoon, too?
27505Can you go?
27505Can your men take those walls?
27505Clear from China?
27505Could a sectional war ever have begun out here on these broad prairies, where men need each other so?
27505Could n''t we slip into the cabin?
27505Could you never be satisfied on a farm?
27505Did Leigh write anything else?
27505Did n''t you hear?
27505Did n''t you see? 27505 Did you ever give up to him?"
27505Did you really miss me?
27505Do n''t I look all right? 27505 Do n''t you care to come to our house any more?"
27505Do n''t you know who''s on the other side of that partition?
27505Do n''t you know whose birthday this is?
27505Do n''t you love Miss Jane, Horace?
27505Do you always tell it good- by?
27505Do you know who Mrs. Aydelot is, Bo Peep?
27505Do you mean to follow a military life?
27505Do you mean to say you have n''t your soldier uniform yet?
27505Do you remember the big sunflower we found to send to Prince Quippi, once?
27505Do you remember your Prince Quippi off in China, and your love letters, with old Grass River for postal service? 27505 Do you suppose father will ever change?"
27505Do you want me to?
27505Do you want to go back to Ohio?
27505Doctor Carey, what brought you to the Philippines?
27505Does anybody else keep sheep around here?
27505Does he come here often?
27505Does it make any difference? 27505 Does n''t your mother know you are here?"
27505Even with a son as old now as I was that night? 27505 Father, do you think a man who fights for his country is to be accounted below the man who stays at home and makes money?"
27505For wy you stare so at dat door yet? 27505 Friend of yours the Emperor sent out to keep you company?"
27505Had you heard of Miss Jane Aydelot''s demise? 27505 Has He forgotten the earth which is His also?"
27505Has some influence here?
27505Has war really been declared? 27505 Has your alfalfa struck root deep enough to begin to pull up that mortgage yet?"
27505Have you made such a sale lately?
27505Hello, Champers, how''s business?
27505Horace Carey?
27505How about Gaines?
27505How about you?
27505How can I answer it?
27505How can I do a parent''s part by her? 27505 How can our boy know as well as his father does what is best for him?
27505How could I have missed her if she started to meet me? 27505 How did this happen?"
27505How did you decide?
27505How did you know?
27505How do you do?
27505How do you know it was a salt can?
27505How do you know that?
27505How do you know?
27505How is this, Leigh?
27505How long have you known him, Carey?
27505How many men in this settlement now?
27505How many rounds have you left?
27505How much do you like me?
27505How much do you own now?
27505How much land have you here, Jacobs?
27505How much, pray?
27505How should I know? 27505 How soon does this involuntary servitude end?"
27505How soon will you be platting your Sunflower Ranch into town lots for the new town that I hear is to be started down your way?
27505How was that?
27505How would you like to keep a store in a place like this, Jacobs?
27505How''d I round up the neighborhood? 27505 How''s your alfalfa doin''?"
27505How?
27505I mean, why call it Carey? 27505 I say, Shirley, did you ever know a man back East named Thomas Smith?"
27505I wish you''d tell me what ails you?
27505I wonder how I missed that mail?
27505Is it another trail, or are you lost and beginning to see things?
27505Is it late? 27505 Is it occupied?"
27505Is n''t it for sale? 27505 Is n''t there pink, or creamy, or something softer in those lilies right by the bank?
27505Is n''t this a wonderful night?
27505Is that a river, really?
27505Is that all? 27505 Is this beautiful to you, Virgie?"
27505Jim''s sick, then?
27505John Jacobs?
27505Just getting in from town? 27505 Kin I please have this huh envelope?"
27505Leigh, do n''t you ever feel jealous of Jo?
27505Leigh, may I bring you home tomorrow night? 27505 Leigh, will you do two things for me?"
27505Leigh, will you let me take you home? 27505 Leigh,"he said at last,"if you did n''t have Uncle Jim what would you do?"
27505Lord, Doc, is that you?
27505May I have the honor?
27505May I see your stuff, or is it not for the profane eyes of a thresher of alfalfa to look upon?
27505Miss Shirley, I ai n''t wantin''to meddle none, but I come down here to ask you if you know anything about your father?
27505Mother, may I go? 27505 Mr. Champers, will you be sure to tell me all you know as soon as possible?
27505No?
27505Not even my mother? 27505 Not if you had a home there?"
27505Not your style of a man then?
27505Of Leigh? 27505 Oh, Dr. Carey, are you really going?"
27505Oh, Jo, do you really want to be a city girl?
27505Oh, Mrs. Aydelot, will you go? 27505 Oh, Thaine, will you want to leave us some day?"
27505Oh, are you soft that way?
27505Oh, did I? 27505 Ought I be?
27505Ought I?
27505Out of love for me alone?
27505Please, kaint I go with you all? 27505 Say, Aydelot, do you remember the day I come down this valley and tried my danged best to get you to sell out for a song?
27505Say, little Sketcher of Things, will you be missing me when I go to school next month? 27505 Say, would you mind tellin''me if you find out anything about your father''s whereabouts or anything?"
27505See yonder, away, way off?
27505See, Bo Peep, are n''t they pretty? 27505 Seriously, Aydelot, what''s Thaine to do?"
27505Shall I help you too, or shall Rosie and I look after the refreshments?
27505Shall I stay here and spoil your landscape or come around and shake hands?
27505Shirley, where is Pryor tonight?
27505Since when did you join the Young Men''s Christian Association?
27505Somebody dying or a highwayman chasing after you for your pocketbook, that you drive so furiously?
27505Suppose I was helpless and poor now, what could you do for me?
27505Tell me, Bo Peep, why Dr. Carey should enter the army again and go to the Philippines?
27505Thaine, what do you mean to do when you grow up?
27505That pup pretty nearly killed you with kindness, did n''t he?
27505The one that should bring him straight from China to me, if he really cared for me?
27505The river ever get low here?
27505Then why did n''t you get away sooner? 27505 Then why do n''t you go home now?"
27505Then why do you go?
27505Then, why did n''t you put another door in the kitchen end of the house?
27505Todd, do you know why he thinks so much of Leigh Shirley?
27505Um, who have I the honor of addressing now?
27505Vell, and vot has Shirley ever done mit you that you so down on him?
27505Virginia, did you ever do a washing before the war?
27505Was it the old Jim Shirley quarter, the Cloverdale Ranch?
27505We?
27505Well, Thaine, how goes the game?
27505Well, and what if Coburn is right?
27505Well, but about this bank account?
27505Well, how can I send?
27505Well, lady landlord, how can I advise you? 27505 Well, what of all this?
27505Well, why do n''t you tighten up on him? 27505 Well, why do you go, then?"
27505Well, you can see most of those things that I saw that day out yonder, ca n''t you?
27505Well, you do n''t want him to go, do you, Jo?
27505Well, your whole wardrobe is over here; why not stay all night? 27505 Well?"
27505Well?
27505Well?
27505Well?
27505What ails the flock?
27505What are you going to do? 27505 What are you saying, Thaine Aydelot?"
27505What could possibly harm her? 27505 What did he want?"
27505What did you call your wife?
27505What did you say Gretchen Gimpke had in that tin can?
27505What do you ask for it?
27505What do you mean? 27505 What do you propose to do?"
27505What do you say?
27505What do you think of this?
27505What do you want now?
27505What is Thaine going to follow, Asher?
27505What is the other thing?
27505What is your name?
27505What kept you fellows so long, anyhow?
27505What made Gimpke leave?
27505What made Jim go away from Cloverdale?
27505What made me take this day? 27505 What of Tank''s life?"
27505What of this?
27505What possessed you to happen in, anyhow?
27505What''d I say back there about women? 27505 What''s around there, Aydelot?"
27505What''s before you now?
27505What''s going on in the dining room?
27505What''s made you think of him?
27505What''s on it now?
27505What''s the next case on docket, Leigh?
27505What''s the row here?
27505What''s the trouble here?
27505What''s the trouble?
27505What''s them Boxers wantin''? 27505 What''s your grievance against him now?"
27505What?
27505When your service is done is there anything to hold you from going straight to the Grass River Valley again?
27505Where are the purple notches?
27505Where are you going to?
27505Where did you learn to do all these things for sick people?
27505Where is Tank now?
27505Where were you meanwhile?
27505Where''s Jim? 27505 Where''s Jim?"
27505Where''s Thaine?
27505Where''s that broken plow of yours? 27505 Where''s that?
27505Where?
27505Who is Kansas?
27505Who is it, boys?
27505Who is this James Shirley whose mail he seems to look after?
27505Who shall preside at the meeting?
27505Who was it?
27505Who were_ we_ in this planting?
27505Who''s likely to drop in tonight, and what''s the program for the evening: charades, music, readings, dancing, cribbage, or political speeches?
27505Who''s the decorating committee?
27505Who''s the man with the dark mustache up there?
27505Why did n''t you go to the census report of 1890, or Radway''s Ready Relief Almanac, or the Unabridged Dictionary?
27505Why did you put the well so far away, Asher?
27505Why do n''t you let the horses trot down this hill slope, Asher?
27505Why do n''t you say something?
27505Why do they call that place Carey''s Crossing?
27505Why do you dodge me? 27505 Why do you go?
27505Why do you think he will never come back? 27505 Why has n''t Mr. Aydelot been notified?"
27505Why have n''t we done it before? 27505 Why have n''t you ever told us this before, Asher?"
27505Why have n''t you told me?
27505Why mine?
27505Why not answer it and be rid of it?
27505Why not help a bit yourself? 27505 Why not, Leigh?
27505Why not?
27505Why not?
27505Why not?
27505Why should the first generation here weight us all down here, too? 27505 Why should you, sure enough?"
27505Why two?
27505Why, Josephine, my queen, my queen, where are you hiding? 27505 Why, Pilot, what''s the news?"
27505Why, do n''t you see the wind is from the north? 27505 Why, do you remember him?"
27505Will he be back in time, though?
27505Will the Arnolds and the Archibalds be up? 27505 Will you come over to our table?
27505Will you? 27505 Wim me?"
27505With a boy nineteen tonight, how can it be otherwise?
27505Would you be?
27505Would you never be satisfied in the country, Jo?
27505Would you rather stay with Miss Jane?
27505Yes, I will,Leigh replied,"but will you tell me what you know about him; you must know something?"
27505Yes, but in the end who really won?
27505Yes?
27505Yes?
27505Yes?
27505You are in the real estate business here?
27505You can face it all for me?
27505You could?
27505You do n''t seem to need him?
27505You do use your property well, I am sure,Doctor Carey said, replying to the last words spoken between them,"and yet, you would give it up?"
27505You have relatives there?
27505You like the sunflowers, do n''t you?
27505You mean the Jew foreclosed on the preacher, do n''t you?
27505You mean the State Agricultural Report of Secretary Coburn? 27505 You take no risk at all in leaving, so you''ll go first, I suppose?"
27505You''d just like to get away from it, now, would n''t you?
27505You''d like to live in Topeka where the big Kaw river is, and the big trees along its banks, and so much green grass, would n''t you, Thaine?
27505You''ll be over tonight, wo n''t you? 27505 A sudden flush deepened on his ruddy cheeks and he continued:Of course you are going to the picnic?
27505Am I too late?"
27505An''did n''t he stay night time an''day time right by the blessed boy, till he''s pullin''him out of dangeh of death''s wing?
27505An''did n''t he tak''care of Misteh Thaine?
27505An''here''s-- what?"
27505And a plum pudding all brown and ready?"
27505And are you sure you ai n''t been misrepresenting things to me a little as agent for Tank Shirley?
27505And had he given grounds for such obligation?
27505And hear him order the best horse?
27505And it is blowing everything south now?
27505And that quarter across the river that used to be all sand, you own that now, Aydelot, do n''t you?
27505And then you ask me what I have to say, what I am going to do, and, with fine gestures, what I see?"
27505And what was it that made me look over all those papers in my vault box last night?
27505And why mistrust a man who calls himself innocent''Thomas Smith?''
27505Any news from home?"
27505Anybody here know Mr. James Shirley?"
27505Are n''t you glad you do n''t just have to stay in the country?"
27505Are the Aydelots big enough to bury old hates?"
27505Are they a band of prize ring fellers?"
27505Are you afraid to trust me?"
27505Are you just getting home?
27505Are you right sure you ai n''t Tank Shirley himself?
27505Are you too sleepy to look at them?
27505As the two men sat enjoying the hour Dr. Carey suddenly asked:"After this hospital service, what next?"
27505Aydelot?
27505Aydelot?"
27505Bo Peep pleaded, and, clutching it as a sacred treasure, he said:"Mis''Virginia, did n''t I done tellen you Misteh Thaine would come back?"
27505But Leigh, am I an unnecessary evil?
27505But Smith, since you are only an agent and nobody knows it but us, why keep yourself so secret?
27505But do you dare?
27505But do you know what her intentions were?"
27505But knowing what you do, who of you wants to face Darley Champers?"
27505But say, why not tell me now what you are about, so I can be looking up references and former judicial decisions handed down in similar cases?"
27505But to be fair, now, why do you want to keep yourself in hiding, and who''s the fellow you want to kill?"
27505But what next?
27505But where''s Pryor Gaines in this rollcall?
27505But why forecast the might- have- been?
27505But why?
27505But, Asher, what are your plans?"
27505But, Thaine, will you want to go back to Ohio to the Aydelot homestead?
27505But, will it catch Asher?
27505CHAPTER XVI THE HUMANENESS OF CHAMPERS What is the use of trying to make things worse?
27505CHAPTER XXIII THE END OF THE WILDERNESS Have I named one single river?
27505Ca n''t I help you in some way?"
27505Ca n''t I_ do_ something?"
27505Ca n''t a doctor enjoy life once in a while?
27505Ca n''t a man look at a pretty girl if he is past forty- five?
27505Ca n''t you see it?"
27505Can I be of any service to you today?"
27505Can I be of any service to you?"
27505Can we fix it right?"
27505Can you go?"
27505Can you help me at all?"
27505Can you leave Kansas?
27505Can you tell me who owns the last claim taken up down the river, and how far it is from here?"
27505Can you trust me to be the last link of the chain in doin''her business?
27505Can you try it?
27505Champers?"
27505Champers?"
27505Come, help at the killing, wo n''t you?"
27505Could I have left it when I took that gallop?"
27505Could n''t he have come here?
27505Could n''t we come some time to the Purple Notches and build a home for just our summer days, because we have seen these headlands all our lives?"
27505Could n''t you go with me to a broader life somewhere out in the real big world?
27505Could n''t you learn to care, Leigh?
27505Could the gates be stormed?
27505Could this wall be shaken?
27505Could you identify him?
27505D.?"
27505Did n''t old grandfather, Jean Aydelot, leave his home in France, and did n''t grandmother, Mercy Pennington, marry to suit her own choice?"
27505Did that guard really keep off that thing I saw from the high bluff up yonder?"
27505Did you ever investigate it?"
27505Did you ever try to till a whole section of land back in Ohio before the war?"
27505Did you know the man who was with him?"
27505Did you take it you were all we expected?"
27505Do I need it?"
27505Do n''t they suit you?"
27505Do n''t we both know that?"
27505Do n''t you care for me?
27505Do n''t you know I''m from Boston originally, which is only a State of Mind?"
27505Do n''t you know that President McKinley has declared war and has called for one hundred and twenty- five thousand volunteers?
27505Do n''t you love them?"
27505Do n''t you remember how Jim Shirley was always out here instead of my going down town when we were boys?"
27505Do n''t you remember?"
27505Do we turn here?"
27505Do you know where he got the money he loaned you?"
27505Do you reckon we Jayhawkers will wait till one hundred and twenty thousand have enlisted and trail in on the last five thousand?
27505Do you remember that first supper here and the sunflowers in the old tin can?"
27505Do you remember the night in the old Thaine home in Virginia when you were our guest-- too sick to dance?"
27505Do you suppose the Aydelots will be down before we go away?"
27505Do you think you could do it?"
27505Do you wonder Tank hates his brother?
27505Does he?
27505Does n''t she look like a drudge?"
27505Even across the Pacific Ocean, where another kind of wilderness lies?"
27505First, can you keep one door shut on days like this, even when there is no draught straight through the house?"
27505Has anybody asked you specially-- to be your very particular escort?"
27505Have I claimed one single acre?
27505Have I kept one single nugget( barring samples)?
27505Have you heard from the Spoopendykes and the Gilliwigs?"
27505He''s not mery pretty, though, but you love him, too, do n''t you, Miss Jane?"
27505How can I make a home for a little girl?
27505How could any of us get along without Uncle Jim?"
27505How could there be such a romantic place out on these level plains?"
27505How did you get away on a day like this?"
27505How did you scent chicken pie so far?
27505How do you do it?"
27505How do you spell it?"
27505How long have you had it?"
27505How long have you known him?"
27505How much stock do you want, Aydelot, and how will you sell?"
27505How would you like to keep a tavern in such a place?"
27505How''ll I be by the time I get out to that ranch?"
27505How''ll Shirley know you from the Mayor of Wilmington, Delaware, anyhow?"
27505How''s the country look to you?"
27505I can see such big things to be done here, but, oh, Leigh, are you sure you want me here?"
27505I guess you ai n''t forgot it, neither?"
27505I mean, you say he does?"
27505I meant to do a washing this morning, but how could any garment stay on the line out there and not be whipped to shreds?"
27505Is it because you know I can throw you?
27505Is it bolt or weld?
27505Is it possible your frontier is further westward still?
27505Is n''t it wonderful how Thaine ever lived through that dreadful bullet wound and fever?"
27505Is n''t it wonderful to be a real pioneer?
27505Is n''t that a sheep?"
27505Is n''t that enough about Jo?"
27505Is n''t that the promise?"
27505Is n''t there any way to punish Spain except by sending more Americans to be killed by her fuses and her guns?"
27505Is n''t there ground enough if the wind will be merciful, not to use up our lawn?"
27505Is that what you call it?
27505Leigh gave a quick glance and answered:"Too heavy everywhere?
27505Leigh, who had been pleased with all of them, turned to her guardian, saying gravely:"Uncle Jim, can I go to school wif Thaine?"
27505Leigh?
27505Let a single man offer you a word of advice, will you?"
27505Make a minute of it when you get it, wo n''t you?"
27505May I ask a favor of you?"
27505May I ask how you propose to put in the fall after wheat harvest?"
27505May I tell you that there is still one more lesson to learn?"
27505Not yet, do we, Juno, even if it rains trouble instead of rain?
27505Notice how everybody give him right of way to get his mail first?
27505Now, who?"
27505Oh, Leigh, Leigh, may I tell you once more how dear you are to me?
27505Oh, Leigh, will you?"
27505Or do you want to shove prosperity away when it comes right to your door?"
27505Or is it because I got full here once and beat you up a bit over in Wyker''s place?"
27505Or why do n''t you do more of it?"
27505Or will your art and your ranch take all your thoughts?"
27505Remember what a fight we had with fire a year ago?"
27505Remember, when we met down by the bend here, one winter day?"
27505Say, Mis''Virginia, did-- did he done mention my name anywhar in that letteh?"
27505Shall I show you on to the Crossing?"
27505Shall we go over and settle it when we finish the Filipino fuss?"
27505Strange what a woman will do for love, is n''t it?
27505Tell me, mother, what does all this fit me for?
27505The forum teacher?
27505The learned recluse?
27505The place has n''t changed much, has it?"
27505The poet- singer?
27505The soldier, voyager, Or ruler?
27505Then Champers said with a frown:"What do you want now?
27505Think of the daughter of one of those old Virginia homes up to a trick like that?"
27505This Smith is the same man who came to old Carey''s Crossing years ago, of course?"
27505Unless what?"
27505WINNING THE WILDERNESS In all the story of the world of man, Who blazed the way to greater, better things?
27505Want to see him?"
27505Was she good looking?
27505Was there an obligation demanded here today?
27505Were you near here then?
27505What are you goin''to do?"
27505What are you thinking about, T. Aydelot?
27505What are you trying to say?"
27505What can I tell him of you?"
27505What did you think of doin''with it now?"
27505What do you mean by breaking up my party?"
27505What do you mean?"
27505What do you say?
27505What do you say?"
27505What do you suppose put him against the Boxers?"
27505What does distance count, against that?"
27505What else?"
27505What has become of the old prairie?"
27505What have you been doing for him?"
27505What is it, and who depends on it?
27505What is there here on these Kansas prairies to hold me here and make me want to bring you here, too?
27505What is there to be afraid of, anyhow?"
27505What kind of an answer-- information or just my opinion?"
27505What made him come out here anyhow?"
27505What made you run away?"
27505What made you so bitter?"
27505What makes you do so many things just for me?
27505What now?"
27505What shall I do?"
27505What should make me sight danger in a man I never saw before, and who will probably go out on the stage tomorrow morning?
27505What the devil do you want with me?
27505What was it?"
27505What we care?
27505What''s that now?"
27505What''s the matter with Jim, Pilot?
27505What''s the matter with him?"
27505What''s the use in a man as big as I am, with no lung power, keeping at it?"
27505What''s the value of that, d''you reckon?
27505What''s to prevent a metropolis risin''right here where a decade and a half ago there was n''t nothing but bare prairie?"
27505What''s yours?"
27505When Asher had asked,"What do you call my life work, Father?"
27505When Pryor is gone, may I ask you sometimes what to do?
27505Where are Pryor and Leigh?
27505Where have you been so long?
27505Where is your man today?
27505Where''d you run onto it?
27505Where''s Champers?"
27505Where''s Uncle Jim?"
27505Where''s the harm in letting Shirley lay eyes on you?
27505Where''s your uniform?"
27505Who do you s''pose will take his place?
27505Who ever heard of the United States being a naval power?
27505Who got his excuse?"
27505Who is it?"
27505Who shall say that the hope and belief with which his few drugs were ministered carried not equal power with them toward health and wholeness?
27505Who stopped the long migration of wild men, And set the noble task of building human homes?
27505Who was it?"
27505Who will volunteer?
27505Who would n''t miss you?"
27505Who''d a''thought it back in the seventies when Jim Shirley an''Asher Aydelot squatted here?
27505Who''s your partner, Jo?"
27505Why are n''t you satisfied to make the other boys all envy you?"
27505Why did Horace go so far away?"
27505Why do n''t you get married or take a trip to India, Doctor?
27505Why do n''t you get your plowing done?"
27505Why do n''t you revert to the soil, too, Bennington?"
27505Why do the other fellows out of their goods, as we Jews are always accused of doing, if it leaves me no customer to buy?
27505Why do you want to hear in the dark what you wo n''t listen to in the daylight?"
27505Why go on the heels of a snowstorm?
27505Why him?
27505Why let a scoundrel like that run free?"
27505Why not come out into the open?
27505Why not here?
27505Why not keep Jim''s letter a day or two?
27505Why not the whole thing?"
27505Why should he be taken?
27505Why should prosperity not come to this valley as well?
27505Why you take oop precious time peekin''trough der crack in der kitchen door?
27505Why?
27505Why?"
27505Will I do for an answer, Leighlie?
27505Will it be given to you to see bigger things?"
27505Will you let me be your lover for one minute up here on the Purple Notches, where the whole world lies around us and nobody knows our secret?
27505Will you promise again to send me the same message you sent to Prince Quippi when you want me to come back?"
27505Will you send me a letter down the old Kaw River when I go to the Kansas University this fall?"
27505Will you tell me how you expect to support a Cloverdale girl when you marry one?"
27505Wo n''t Fred Funston do things when he hits the Orient?
27505Wo n''t you come and sit with me?"
27505Wo n''t you come with me to get flowers for supper?"
27505Wo n''t you give me that chrome- yellow tube by your elbow there?"
27505Wo n''t you keep telling me your plans, and if I can help you, will you let me do it?"
27505Would the Aydelots feel the same if they knew it?"
27505Would you like me to show you where to go to dig, so''s you can be sure your plan with Tank Shirley worked and you did n''t drown, after all?
27505Would you listen to that?"
27505Yet, where can she be now?"
27505You always were an artist, but when did you learn all the technique?
27505You and me both?
27505You could use it, I reckon?"
27505You said you had two?"
27505You think Thaine will come home again, do n''t you?"
27505You understand that?
27505You, an only child?"
27505Your plans just fall together and fit in, do n''t they?"
27505he said grimly]"Why scary?"

13384But did they get his property? 13384 But he did n''t say he''d give it up?"
13384But how do you explain it?
13384But is she alive? 13384 But it''s most to Oregon, hain''t it?"
13384But then?

13384Did ever you see pick or shovel build a country? 13384 Did he say anything about finding Sam Woodhull?"
13384Did he say he''d give it up?
13384Did he tell you that about me?
13384Did he-- Mr. Banion-- say anything?
13384Did n''t act scared of it?
13384Did n''t say he would n''t?
13384Did n''t you hear it, Molly?
13384Did n''t you say you wanted me on any terms?
13384Did n''t you signal for me? 13384 Did you want pay so soon?

13384How could we know where you were, or whether you''d come-- or whether you''d have been of any use if you had?
13384How could we send, man?
13384How deep?
13384How did they get here?
13384How do we know it is far? 13384 How do you know that?"
13384How do you know?

13384No matter how?
13384No? 13384 No?
13384No? 13384 Oh, Will Banion, how could you take away a girl''s heart and leave her miserable all her life?"
13384Oh, the double?

13384Well, I reckon it''s life, ai n''t it?
13384Well, anyways, they''re both off on the same journey now, and who knows what or which? 13384 Well, have n''t I got to?

13384Ai n''t hit nigh about time now, Major?"
13384Ai n''t it a perty leetle ol''world to play with, all with nice pink stripes erroun''hit?"
13384Ai n''t thar plenty more pilgrims whar ye all come from?
13384Ai n''t that old as Mayheeco Veeayho?
13384Ai n''t that so?

13384An''warn''t hit useful?
13384An''ye was willin''to go to Oregon-- ye''d plow rather''n leave sight o''her?
13384And after all, does n''t a woman give the odds?
13384And how could they, in so close a fight?"
13384And how could you keep the secret?"
13384And is it any wonder I would n''t train up with a thief, or allow him to visit in my family?
13384And this was Miss Molly Wingate?
13384And was n''t I elected at Westport before we started?"
13384And what am I to expect?"
13384And what do you owe me?"
13384And when will we get to Oregon?"
13384And who''s that, Jesse?"
13384And why not?
13384Are you asking me to be married in a provisional wedding?
13384Are you for Oregon?"
13384Are you?"
13384Banion, Woodhull-- had they left any word?
13384Banion?
13384But I ask you, what do I owe you?"
13384But can we trade?
13384But do you want me to be a liar to my General?
13384But if so, why the crude bivouac?
13384But might I make a few suggestions?"
13384But now, Molly,"he went on, with heat,"what''s the use talking?
13384But one question first was asked by these travel- sick home- loving people: What was the news?
13384But she slept ill. Over and over to her lips rose the same question:"Oh, Will Banion, Will Banion, why did you take away my heart?"
13384But she''s not bad-- she''s comin''through?"
13384But what could I do?
13384But what could she do?
13384But what''s the news, Bordeaux?
13384But why did you send for me?
13384But will Captain Wingate let me add even just a few words more?
13384But will you promise me one thing, sir?"
13384But ye''re carryin''news?"
13384CHAPTER XXXVII JIM BRIDGER FORGETS"What''s wrong with the people, Cale?"
13384Ca n''t it be mended?"
13384Ca n''t wait?
13384Ca n''t you forget me, Molly Wingate?"
13384Can I whip you?"
13384Can you keep this?"
13384Chardon, damn ye, carry the cup down an''set hit on his head, an''ef ye spill a drop I''ll drill ye, d''ye hear?"
13384Charge ye?
13384Could he not afford to laugh best, in spite of all events, even if some of them had not been to his own liking?
13384Could it be that in the providence of God she once had been within one deliberate step of marrying Samuel Payson Woodhull?
13384Could n''t you be happier if you did?
13384Could n''t you take your chance and see if there''s anything under the notion about more than one man and more than one woman in the world?
13384Could the gallant mare make this point?
13384Could they not in turn humble the pride of any other tribe?
13384Could this encampment, on the very front of the American civilization, now be called a home?
13384Crazy, of course; for who could pause to work on the trail with pick or shovel, with winter coming on at the Sierra crossing?
13384Danger-- yes; but what?
13384Danger?
13384Danger?
13384Did ever you see steel traps make or hold one?
13384Did ghosts live and move as men?
13384Did n''t our land more''n thribble, from a dollar and a quarter?
13384Do n''t you think so?"
13384Do n''t you, dearest?"
13384Do they think we''re Indians, or what?"
13384Do ye see that tall cottingwood tree a half mile down-- the one with the flat umbreller top, like a cypress?
13384Do you call that to me?"
13384Do you come from the Bluffs?
13384Do you look on us men as ponderable, measurable, computable?"
13384Do you mean to tell me you got squaws, you old heathen?"
13384Do you mind-- can you think of it, men?
13384Do you promise-- will you swear?"
13384Do you suppose that''ll ever do for a man of spirit like Sam Woodhull?
13384Do you want the engagement broken?
13384Do you want to be released?"
13384Do you want to go ahead, or shall I?"
13384Do you want to shoot me like a coyote?"
13384Do- ee say Jim Bridger ca n''t make buffler medicine?
13384Do- ee see''em over yan ridge-- thousands?"
13384Does he call that settled?
13384Does not that include open eyes?"
13384Eh, sir?"
13384Flowers-- do they go with the plow, too, as well as weeds?
13384Fuel?
13384Gittin''restless agin?"
13384Give me love?"
13384Go to California?
13384Go to Oregon and plow?
13384Had a new route over the Humboldt Basin been found, or something of that sort?
13384Had it not been foreordained that they should get the news here, before it was too late?
13384Had not their fathers worked with rifle lashed to the plow beam?
13384Had others preceded them?
13384Had they not beaten the Sioux?
13384Half fanatics?
13384Has n''t he done all he could to shoulder me out of my place as captain of this train?
13384Has n''t the prisoner tried to escape?
13384Have n''t I always?
13384Have n''t they had as good a chance as we ever had?
13384Have n''t you as much courage as those Mormon women on ahead?
13384Have ye any picks?
13384Have ye flour, meal, sugar-- anything?"
13384Have you anything along-- oil, flour, anything to use on burns?
13384He asked her, his fingers loosely shaken, meaning,"Where did you get it?"
13384He made trouble, huh?
13384He''ll make no more?
13384Help me up, sir?"
13384Help me up, sir?"
13384Him I left drunk an''happy last summer?
13384Hit''s easier, an''a month er two closter, with plenty o''feed an''water-- the old Cayuse trail, huh?
13384How about you, Hall?
13384How could I have forgotten?
13384How could he?"
13384How could that be?
13384How could we ask more?
13384How could ye a- help hit?
13384How dare you talk like that to me?"
13384How long was hit afore she done so-- about ten minutes?
13384How many loads you''ll got for your h''own post, Jeem?"
13384How many?
13384How?"
13384Huh?"
13384I hain''t said nothin''out''n the way, have I?
13384I suppose that''s the tendency of a woman?
13384I suppose women do adjust?
13384I''d like such fer a bride, huh?
13384I''ll say, two- three days out?"
13384I''m wondering if I do n''t get a second for that?"
13384If I promise to leave you with my train?"
13384If I were in other ways what the man of your choice should be, would this truth have any weight with you?
13384If I''ve not been shamed and humiliated, how can a man be?
13384If anything went wrong on that basis-- why, marrying would stop?
13384If not, what caravan was this, moving alone, far from the beaten trail?
13384If so, it must be rough and needing work in places, else why the need for so many shovels?
13384If something better comes, why not take it?
13384If we do n''t settle Oregon, how long''ll we hold it?
13384If you gave me life, why should n''t I give you love-- if so I could?"
13384If you love me and not just yourself alone, ca n''t you take your chance as I am taking mine?
13384If you''re sure--""Help me up, one of you?"
13384In three weeks a prowling Gros Ventre squaw found it and carried it to the trader, Bordeaux, asking,"Shoog?"
13384Indians?
13384Is he going to California to forget you and live things down?"
13384Is he with you?"
13384Is it about the girl?"
13384Is it about-- him?"
13384Is my oath provisional, or his?"
13384Is n''t a prisoner justified in trying to escape?"
13384Is n''t marriage broader and with more chance for both?
13384Is n''t that fair?"
13384Is n''t that fair?"
13384Is that all the news?"
13384Is that fur enough fer a ol''man, with snow comin''on soon?"
13384Is that hit, huh?"
13384Is that it?"
13384Is there any motion on this?"
13384Is your hull train made here?"
13384Is your last chance now as good as mine?
13384It seems as though time had been invented so that, through all its æons, our feet might run in search, one for the other-- to meet, where?
13384It was about Kit Carson, something he had-- was it about the gold news?"
13384Jess, what made us start for Oregon?"
13384Kin ye, Bill?"
13384Law, organization, society, convention, form, custom-- haven''t I got even those things to back me?
13384Let me ask once more, do I owe you anything now?"
13384Let''s talk erbout Sam Woodhull, huh?"
13384Love?
13384Marry him, after all?
13384May I come in?
13384May I ride him?"
13384May we pull in just beside you, on this water?"
13384Maybe there''s something, too, in a woman''s ability to adjust and compromise?
13384Me?
13384Mebbe more''ll leave ye thar, huh?"
13384Men can go through and make roads-- yes; but where are the women and the children to stay?
13384Moreover-- so he reasoned-- if he, Sam Woodhull, won the spoils, what matter who had won any sort of victory?
13384Mostly my squaws--""Your what?
13384News?
13384News?
13384News?
13384News?
13384News?
13384No proof?"
13384No?
13384Now what in hell brung him here?"
13384Now what''s wrong?"
13384Of course, it ca n''t be true that only one man will do for a woman to marry, or one woman for a man?
13384Oh, Will Banion, why did you take away my heart?
13384Old Greenwood suddenly broke out,"Have we left the mines an''come this fur fer nothin''?
13384One of them says to me,''Plowing, hey?
13384Only to torture me?
13384Or were there, then, other races of men out here in this unknown world of heat and sand?
13384Perhaps yonder on the flint ridge where the cover was short-- why had she not thought of that long ago?
13384Price?"
13384Provisional?
13384Rich?
13384S''pose''n we have a snort now?"
13384See''em go up?
13384Send half straight to the ford an''half come in behind, through the willers, huh?
13384Shall I give you one more chance to square things for me?
13384Shall loving hearts be kept asunder for those reasons?
13384Shall the natural course of life be thwarted until we get to Oregon?
13384So you see fit to come into my camp?"
13384So?"
13384Something to marry on?
13384Take this skunk in on a good rope like that?
13384Tell Bridger--""Why, where is it?"
13384Tell me, is n''t that it?"
13384Tell me, is this the last bad river?
13384Tell me-- you heard of no wedding back at Independence Rock?
13384That I''d ever marry a thief?"
13384That all?"
13384That makes you happy?"
13384That old man Bridger told you-- why?
13384That would be foolish, would n''t it?
13384That''d make me four hunderd mile away from home, an''four hunderd to ride back agin''huh?
13384That''s one hell of a weddin'', huh?
13384Then whar air ye?"
13384Then why?
13384There''s much in that, do n''t you think?
13384They said nothing?
13384They told me--""Is Woodhull here-- can you find him?"
13384They want fifty dollars a sack for flour-- what do you think of that?
13384They were appeased with milk from the few cows offering milk; but how long might that last, with the cattle themselves beginning to moan and low?
13384Two-- what''s their names?"
13384Uh- huh?"
13384Warn''t that fine?
13384Was it too late?
13384Was there any new word about the California trail, down at Bridger?
13384Was this a treasure train of old Spanish_ cargadores_?
13384We found ways, huh?"
13384We kain''t say fairer''n this, can we, at our time o''life, fer favor o''the old times, Bill?
13384We must have fifty- sixty thousand dollars o''dust buried under the floor, do n''t ye think?"
13384We ought to be as happy as the average married couple, do n''t you think?
13384We''ll meet in Oregon?
13384Well then, seein''as hit''s about a gal, knuckle an''skull, is that right?"
13384Well, how can I forget?"
13384Well, is it any wonder there is no love lost?
13384Well, that''s what we''re going out for, ai n''t it-- to plow?''
13384Well, what do you- all think of me?
13384Well, what of hit?
13384Whar is yer boasted superiorness as a womern?
13384Whar was he at?"
13384Whar''s Miss Molly?"
13384Whar''s yer gun?"
13384Whar''s yore guns?"
13384What I have in mind now is to ask you, do you classify me as a coward just because I counsel prudence here?"
13384What are you doing here?"
13384What are you going to do?"
13384What better will we do in Oregon?"
13384What brings ye here so late?"
13384What charge?"
13384What did they need, here at Fort Hall, on the Snake, third and last settlement of the two thousand miles of toil and danger and exhaustion?
13384What do I owe you that you should bring more trouble, as you always have?
13384What do n''t I owe to you?"
13384What do ye s''pose Jim Bridger''d care ef ye all was drownded in the Snake?
13384What do you mean?
13384What do you say, finally, Kelsey?"
13384What do you say?"
13384What do your neighbors say?"
13384What had been the cause of his sudden pulling up of his starting tongue?
13384What happened to the Donners two years back?
13384What has it come to?
13384What is it you are saying, sir?
13384What made her ride that critter?"
13384What men could fight a nation whose warriors were so unfair as all this came to?
13384What more chance did you need?
13384What need had he for a fortune or a future now?
13384What purpose had it here?
13384What real American does not?"
13384What shall we do?"
13384What sort o''iron ye carryin'', Bill?"
13384What sort of man was he, after all, so full of strange contradictions-- a savage, a criminal, yet reverent and devout?
13384What was it?
13384What ye say, Cap?"
13384What you mean?"
13384What''s Kit doing here?"
13384What''s a girl''s mind fer ef hit hain''t to think o''things?"
13384What''s eatin''ye, boy?
13384What''s he coming for-- two hundred miles away from his own post?"
13384What''s inter hit?"
13384What''s it all about?"
13384What''s money to us?
13384What''s my standing in all this?
13384What''s this here like?
13384What''s wrong here?"
13384When she''s old an''shriveled up, then ye''ll marry her, huh?"
13384When?
13384When?"
13384Where are we now?"
13384Where do you reckon he is now-- how far ahead?"
13384Where''s Woodhull?"
13384Where''s she at now?"
13384Where?"
13384Which makes things look shore hopeful an''pleasant in this yere train o''pilgrims, this bright and pleasant summer day, huh?"
13384Who could believe it?"
13384Who will ever know where their bones are laid?
13384Who''ll be the man to ride down?
13384Who''ll he be?"
13384Who''s that back of ye?"
13384Why did n''t I think?
13384Why did n''t you tell me?
13384Why did you come?"
13384Why do n''t we do it the way the big partisans allus done when the Rendyvous was over?
13384Why do n''t you marry her right now?"
13384Why go to Oregon?
13384Why had these men come here?
13384Why not go to California and dig in a day what a plow would earn in a year?
13384Why should any man remain poor?
13384Why should he go on to Oregon now?
13384Why should n''t I?
13384Why should n''t I?
13384Why should they not go?
13384Why should work be known, save the labor of picking up pure gold-- done, finished, delivered at hand to waiting and weary humanity?
13384Why the gear of travelers?
13384Why the massed arklike wagons, the scores of morning fires lifting lazy blue wreaths of smoke against the morning mists?
13384Why, rich?
13384Why, what is love?
13384Why?
13384Why?
13384Why?
13384Why?"
13384Why?"
13384Why?"
13384Why?"
13384Will this please you?"
13384Will you always believe in me in that way?
13384Will you promise?"
13384Will, are n''t you here?"
13384Wimminfolks shore air a strange race o''people, hain''t that the truth?
13384Wingate?"
13384Wingate?"
13384Wo n''t they be out here next year, with money ter spend with my pardner Vasquez an''me?"
13384Wo n''t you come on in?"
13384Woodhull?
13384Work?
13384Would ary man want to ride with me?
13384Would he have spoken too much of that acquaintance?
13384Would ye, Sam Woodhull?"
13384Ye kin?
13384Ye want to see him?"
13384Ye''ll never tell?
13384Ye''re a fool not to marry her now, but ye''re reckonin''to marry her sometime-- when the moon turns green, huh?
13384Ye''re not dead no ways, then?"
13384Ye''ve been with the Army on the coast?"
13384You do tell me that?
13384You give me leave to try again?
13384You here-- why?"
13384You know, we''ll get all the southern country to the Coast?"
13384You love him without marriage?
13384You ride him?"
13384You think he did not go on to California?"
13384You will not give me some sort of chance?"
13384You will remember the shoulder of a man who fought with you?
13384You''d kill him-- now?"
13384You''d want no proof at all?
13384You''ll do what you can now-- at any cost?"
13384what awful thing was this?
8670''Are your friends white men?'' 8670 ''Going to camp here?''
8670''How long do you think we shall be imprisoned here, chief?'' 8670 ''What''s the use?''
8670''You are sure we are far enough?'' 8670 Ah, you do n''t speak English yet?"
8670All right now, Tom?
8670And how do you get the quicksilver out of those lumps?
8670And where is_ there?_Tom asked.
8670And where shall we have to begin to look out for the''Rappahoes?
8670And you have never since been to that place you struck the day the Utes came down, Harry?
8670And you left before my last letter arrived?
8670Anyone hurt?
8670Anyone hurt?
8670Anything the matter, Sam?
8670Are the natives friendly now?
8670Are there any fish in the river, uncle?
8670Are there any maps of the region?
8670Are they all right, Jerry?
8670Are you by yourself, or have you friends with you?
8670Are you getting on well?
8670Are you sure that you will know the place again, Harry?
8670Are you sure, chief?
8670But are you quite, quite sure, uncle?
8670But how does the gold get into it, uncle?
8670But what do they mean, uncle?
8670But why should my uncle''s party have gone into such a dangerous country when they knew that the natives were so hostile?
8670But you ai n''t a temperance man yourself, Harry?
8670But you said some of the valleys had grass?
8670Can you ride?
8670Can you trust your head to keep cool? 8670 Did you kill another bear?
8670Did you think you heard anything, chief?
8670Do my brothers suppose that the white men are mad that they ask such terms? 8670 Do n''t you know me, Harriet?"
8670Do n''t you like the plan, Tom?
8670Do n''t you mean farther south?
8670Do n''t you see it''s Tom?
8670Do n''t you think one of us ought to keep watch, Sam?
8670Do n''t you think, uncle, we might do something to dry the wood?
8670Do you mean this to be our permanent camp, Harry?
8670Do you think he would?
8670Do you think it is rich, Pete?
8670Do you think it was yesterday the red- skin was here, or the day before, chief?
8670Do you think so?
8670Do you think there have been more than one, chief?
8670Do you think there would be any chance of my finding them?
8670Do you think they are likely to come, uncle?
8670Do you think they can cross over to this side?
8670Do you think this is the one, Jerry?
8670Do you think you got him, chief?
8670Does my brother remember that?
8670Does my brother speak the language of the Navahoes?
8670Feel bad, Tom?
8670Has everything been quiet?
8670Have you been to sea?
8670Have you got the trees down, Sam?
8670Have you heard them, chief?
8670Have you often been caught in the snow, uncle?
8670Have you seen Sam?
8670Have you seen any red- skins yet?
8670He meant would you take both canoes? 8670 How are we going?"
8670How are you?
8670How did it come about, Sam?
8670How do you feel, Ben?
8670How do you mean, Jerry?
8670How do you mean, Jerry?
8670How ever did they get up there?
8670How far are we from the head, chief?
8670How far do you suppose that hill is off?
8670How far do you think it is off?
8670How far does the Navahoe country come this way?
8670How far does the valley run?
8670How far is it before the sides of the valley get too steep to climb?
8670How is the work going on, Jerry?
8670How long do you suppose that the Indians are likely to wait when they find that they ca n''t get at us?
8670How long shall we be in getting to Denver?
8670How many lodges are there?
8670How many of us will get through this place alive? 8670 How much money do you think it will want, and what share do you think of giving, Harry?"
8670How on earth did he know that, chief?
8670How was it, Harry?
8670How would you know, Jerry?
8670I suppose uncle talks their language?
8670I thought the Indians always scalped enemies they shot?
8670I wonder why the snow did not shoot over as it did before?
8670Is he badly hurt?
8670Is he so very upright?
8670Is it a grizzly, uncle?
8670Is it not rather dangerous, his coming down alone to meet two of them? 8670 Is that good, uncle?"
8670Is there any chance, do you think, of finding poor Sam''s body?
8670Is there much game down there, chief?
8670Kill them both at first shot, chief?
8670No fear of Indians?
8670Now, chief, how many blankets, how much powder and lead, and what else do you want for those two horses?
8670Now, chief,Harry said,"have you arrived at any way out of this?
8670Now, what do you reckon on doing?
8670Now, what do you think, Tom?
8670Of course we stop to take our meals on the way?
8670Shall I take the bits out of the horses''mouths, Jerry?
8670Shall I throw some green wood on the fire, Hunting Dog?
8670Shall I wait until the Indians come back, uncle, and tell them why you have gone up?
8670Shall we ride straight on and join them?
8670So it would, Tom; but if a grizzly were to appear at the door, what would the horses do? 8670 So the Indians kept quiet all the afternoon, Harry?"
8670So you have managed to get through them all right, chief?
8670That will run right down to the Colorado?
8670Then I can light a fire, chief?
8670Then how can live?
8670Then you do n''t think the Indians will come up close?
8670Then you have given up all hopes of finding Harry''s tracks?
8670Then you knew, uncle, the Indians were near?
8670Then you were not alone?
8670Then you''ve been north and south?
8670There was no place where there was a chance of getting up, Harry?
8670There, Tom, what do you think of them?
8670These are the bad lands, I suppose?
8670They are hunting for the trail, Jerry, I suppose?
8670They wo n''t try again, chief?
8670Time to get up?
8670Waal, what is the news, Harry?
8670Was he hunting?
8670Was it far from here that you saw him?
8670Well, Leaping Horse, which way would you advise us to take, then?
8670Well, chief, what do you advise yourself?
8670Well, chief, what do you make of it?
8670Well, chief,the miner said,"what does that hair tell you about it, for I ca n''t make neither head nor tail of it?"
8670Well, what do you make of it, chief?
8670Well, what do you say, chief?
8670Well, what is your advice, chief?
8670Well, what luck?
8670What are bad lands, Jerry?
8670What are they going to do now, do you think?
8670What are they up to now, chief?
8670What brought the bear down here?
8670What can have killed him?
8670What did you fire at, Tom?
8670What did you wake me for then? 8670 What do you say, boys,"Harry asked when breakfast had been cooked and eaten,"if we stop here for to- day?
8670What do you think of that, chief?
8670What do you think there is, Jerry? 8670 What do you think, Hunting Dog?"
8670What do you think, Leaping Horse?
8670What do you think, chief? 8670 What do you think, chief?
8670What do you think, mates, of camping here?
8670What do you want a doorway at both ends for?
8670What does that mean, uncle?
8670What does the chief mean by bad medicine, Jerry?
8670What game is there in the country?
8670What have you been doing since I last saw you up near the Yellowstone?
8670What in thunder is the matter with me?
8670What is all that for, Jerry?
8670What is creasing a horse?
8670What is it, Hunting Dog?
8670What is it, chief?
8670What is it, chief?
8670What is it, chief?
8670What is my white brother going to do?
8670What is that noise?
8670What is the matter, chief?
8670What is this thing on my head? 8670 What noise is that?"
8670What on airth are they doing there? 8670 What on arth have you lit that other fire for, Jerry?"
8670What was it, chief?
8670What will the others do when they can not find the trail anywhere along the bank?
8670Where are the others?
8670Where are the others?
8670Where does my brother wish to go?
8670Where is the chief?
8670Where shall we make the fire?
8670Which way were they going?
8670Who had he with him?
8670Why did he not tell the Utes so last year?
8670Why did n''t the varmint take their places here?
8670Why did you not wake me?
8670Why do my red brothers wish to fight?
8670Why do they come upon the Utes''land?
8670Why do you call it a beaver meadow, uncle? 8670 Why do you call my uncle Straight Harry?"
8670Why do you have to keep the kettle boiling, uncle?
8670Why not make a snow fort?
8670Why should we not go across to the rock at once, chief?
8670Why, Harriet,she exclaimed,"have you gone mad?"
8670Would they have kept their word, uncle, do you think?
8670Yes, I see that we have got to bolt, but the question is, how? 8670 You are not going on to- day, Jerry, are you?"
8670You do n''t think it likely that the''Rappahoes are on the look- out for us at the entrance?
8670You do n''t think that there are any spies watching us now, uncle, do you?
8670You do n''t think, then, they are likely to turn off before that?
8670You have got the gold, I suppose, uncle?
8670You hear?
8670You mean to fill up the entrance?
8670You say the country ahead is bad, chief?
8670You think the Indians will follow, uncle?
8670You think they are''Rappahoes, chief?
8670You think they will be watching us?
8670You think this is the stream we have to follow, chief?
8670You think you are going to send in a large quantity of gold?
8670You will make for Frémont''s Buttes, I suppose, chief?
8670''Do you think that I would be one to rob a man only because he would be fool enough to take a place without looking at it?
8670''Have they wings that they have flown down here from the hills?''
8670''Have you got the bear, Leaping Horse?''
8670''Many of them, chief?''
8670''They wo n''t be able to follow your trail here, chief, will they?''
8670And now, I suppose,"and her voice quivered a little,"you will want to be off as soon as you can?"
8670And you think we had better take the cañon you came up by, chief?"
8670Any signs of the red- skins?"
8670Are you all right, young Tom?"
8670Are you going far?
8670As he came up the man who had spoken before said:''How many torches have you got, brother Williams?''
8670As it is, what is there for me to do here?"
8670As they walked away, Tom said:"So you have paid more than you expected, Jerry?"
8670At what time shall we start?"
8670But can I be of any use?
8670But where is Sam?
8670CHAPTER XVIII BACK TO DENVER"When are you going to make a start again?"
8670Can he crawl and hide, can he leave his horse and travel on foot, can he hear the war- cry of the red- skins without fear?"
8670Can we make a fire?"
8670Can you put us all up?
8670Can you shoot?"
8670Did you ever find out whether they could have got on the top to shoot down on you?"
8670Do you know the Ute country?"
8670Do you see any signs of the canoe, chief?"
8670Do you think there are any more of them about?"
8670Had n''t we better be pushing on, chief?"
8670Has my brother heard anything of the others?"
8670Have n''t I about struck your thoughts, chief?"
8670Have you calculated what our share is?"
8670Have you come from far?"
8670Have you cut the saloon, Pete, and are you going in for mining again?"
8670Hoskings?"
8670How are you all getting on?
8670How are you going to share?"
8670How far are they away?''
8670How had this better be bandaged?"
8670How much do you suppose it will all come to?"
8670How we live?
8670I did not think much of the loss, the point was how were we to save our scalps?
8670I suppose there ai n''t, no other road they can come up here by, chief?"
8670I suppose they have all ridden off?"
8670I suppose those are your sisters?
8670If they ai n''t white men, who are they?
8670In course there ai n''t no taking the horses?"
8670In the first place, are you sure that you would prefer this to the sea?"
8670Is n''t that what you think, chief?"
8670Lost someone dear to you, no doubt?
8670My name is Bill Brown; what is yours?"
8670Now we are many, and how many of the Utes would die before they took our scalps?
8670Now, are you comfortable?
8670Now, what do you reckon his chances would be of finding them out and dropping in on their campfire?"
8670Now, what have you got in the way of outfit?"
8670Of course the question is, how far it holds on as rich as we found it at the face, and how it keeps on in depth?
8670Of what use is it to him?
8670One says''Have a drink?''
8670Shall we go with you, chief?"
8670Shall we make back to the settlements, or try washing a bit?"
8670Shall we take our pack pony with the outfit?"
8670Shall you look for them, chief?"
8670That is so, chief, is n''t it?"
8670That is what you mean, is n''t it, chief?"
8670The fellow who went up the hills no doubt made for a village?"
8670The question is, What shall we do now?
8670The question is-- could we leave the boats and strike across?"
8670There was a general exclamation from the girls:"What do you mean, uncle?"
8670There, how do you feel now?"
8670They heard the horses enter the cañon, then Jerry shouted:"Are you all right, Harry?"
8670Upon Harry''s remarking upon this with satisfaction the first time they went out after using the dry wood, Tom said:"What does it matter?
8670We have been longer than I expected without disturbance by these varmint, but it has come now, and the question is what are we to do?
8670Well now, can you put us up?"
8670Well, what are you thinking of doing next?"
8670Well, what is the next thing, Harry?"
8670Well, what is your advice, chief?
8670Well, you remember his gun?"
8670Were that it?"
8670Were they going to remain where you left them?"
8670What am I good for?
8670What are you doing, chief?
8670What can he do with it?
8670What did he fire at, chief?"
8670What do you say, chief?"
8670What do you say, chief?"
8670What do you say, chief?"
8670What do you think is the next thing to be done, chief?"
8670What does my white brother think of the''Rappahoes having gone on directly they returned from the chase?"
8670What good to stay?
8670What is the matter with my arm, I do n''t seem able to move it?"
8670What is there for me to look forward to if I stay?
8670What is your name, mate?"
8670What share ought we to offer for that?"
8670What the''tarnal do the varmint do here?''
8670When are you thinking of making a start, Jerry?"
8670When do you think we had better start?"
8670Where are you staying?"
8670Where did you kill these wapiti?"
8670Where do you think it comes from?"
8670Where does it lie?"
8670Where is the chief?"
8670Whereabouts did you leave them?"
8670Which way do you think we had better go, chief?"
8670Who have you got with you?"
8670Why ai n''t he here?"
8670Why did you not tell me so when I was saying we did not know where he was?"
8670Why should we not be friends?"
8670Why, where are you?"
8670Will it be peace?"
8670Will they try again, do you think, chief?"
8670Will you shoot first or shall I?"
8670You are not going to make a fire here, are you?''
8670You did not expect to meet him like this, I reckon?"
8670You do n''t mean to say she has n''t sold it?"
8670You have not heard anything of him, I suppose?"
8670You have put your horses up, I suppose?"
8670You have seen no signs of Indians, I suppose?"
8670You know Leaping Horse, do n''t you?
8670You remember Billy the scout?"
8670You remember that time when you and I and Jersey Dick kept off a party of Navahoes from sunrise till sunset down near the Emigrant trail?
8670You think the whites have been tracked, and are to be attacked this morning?"
8670You wo n''t take another bit, Tom?"
8670would ye, yer varmint?"
46250A duty? 46250 A relative?"
46250Ah, brother beloved, why were we so soon parted by grim death? 46250 Ah, dear one, life has been a terror to him for many years; and shall I mourn that he has at last gotten the victory?
46250Ah, what have I been doing?
46250Ah? 46250 Am I to go''long, mother?"
46250An''what o''that?
46250And am I so utterly, so abominably selfish, that I can not rejoice in her happiness, though it be with another? 46250 And can you tell me in which Major Lamar lives?"
46250And he has never appeared to you?
46250And it was her child, the older woman''s?
46250And my friends have been anxious for my safety, you say?
46250And the rest?
46250And the son does n''t get it all, as is usually the way with us?
46250And this young doctor, Nell,pursued Clare, with a meaning smile,"what is he like?"
46250And what may that be? 46250 And who is this wretch?"
46250And who may you be?
46250And you must go?
46250And you, you who look so like the dead, who are you?
46250Are ye a goin''to tell me what I asked?
46250Are you going to build?
46250Are you mad, old man?
46250Are you not growing rather large and heavy for that?
46250Are you not mistaken? 46250 Are you the bearer of evil tidings, Coe, an accident, some one hurt?
46250But any others? 46250 But if you lose your life?"
46250But look ye here, stranger,he interrupted,"what if he should get free and peach on us?"
46250But she seems quite alone, is there no more of the family?
46250But the signal, why was it given?
46250But what saved you?
46250But what sort of doctor should you think me if I were afraid to face wind, rain and sleet at the call of sickness?
46250But where is Tig? 46250 But why not?
46250Ca n''t you lie down too, Nell?
46250Can I see the ladies?
46250Can you doubt that we love you well enough to tell you all if it would add to your happiness?
46250Can you take my place for to- day? 46250 Can you?"
46250Captain Herrod not dead?
46250Dangerous?
46250Dear me, who''s been rakin''ober dis fire? 46250 Dear mother,"he said, again taking her hand and speaking low and tremulously,"can you not cast this burden also upon the Lord?"
46250Did I?
46250Did it require any great stretch of courage to order your valet out of the house?
46250Did you come out in search of me?
46250Dish night, mynheer?
46250Do n''t be troubled about me,Kenneth said cheerily,"I am young and vigorous, and shall rather enjoy roughing it, in the pursuit of my calling?"
46250Do you not agree in my opinion?
46250Do you think you can take care of her, Tig?
46250Doctor, would you recognize the thief?
46250Does n''t any body hear from him?
46250Does the pale face forget?
46250Except to be something far nearer and dearer? 46250 Excited over this news of poor Captain Herrod?"
46250Find much to do about here?
46250For Pennsylvania, it''s very sudden, is n''t it?
46250Go? 46250 Going away?"
46250Hans,said he, while the man was busied about his person,"you are from Hesse, I think, and were over here during the war?"
46250Has my friend heap money?
46250Have the Indians begun war?
46250Have we ever met before?
46250Have you ever met with any whites living with them?
46250He has made you his confidante?
46250He has, eh? 46250 He successful with Miss Nell?"
46250He''s likely to be in his hole any how, is n''t he?
46250Here is Prospect Hill,remarked Kenneth;"do you feel equal to climbing it?
46250How are all our friends here?
46250How did you find Miss Lamar, doctor? 46250 How did you like him Marian, dear?"
46250How do you do, mother?
46250How do you do?
46250How do you know?
46250How is it possible you can have escaped alive?
46250How is that?
46250How long since you left England?
46250How many?
46250How much ahead are you, did ye say?
46250How so?
46250How''s that? 46250 Hurt?
46250I feel very selfish in so doing, dearest Nell,he said,"but will you go?"
46250I hope she''s no kin o''yours?
46250I shall never see him again in this world,she was saying to herself,"and oh, shall I meet him in another?
46250I-- I''m after-- a job; and you-- you wa-- want these trees cut down?
46250If we take the other course shall we not be running into a certain danger in the effort to avoid one that may never threaten us?
46250Is Dr. Clendenin here?
46250Is he riding? 46250 Is it dead, have you killed it?"
46250Is it nice in Philadelphia, Aunt Nellie?
46250Is it you, Godfrey Dale?
46250Is n''t it running a great risk? 46250 Is there any positive proof that Herrod met his death at their hands?"
46250It?
46250Kenneth, Kenneth, why ca n''t we have you always? 46250 Major,"exclaimed the captain,"do you remember your big Hessian?"
46250May I ask where you are from?
46250Mine?
46250Miss Nell?
46250Mother,whispered the girl with a shudder,"what did he fear?
46250Much the matter, Zeb?
46250Nell, are you ready to see the doctor?
46250Nine, nine, mynheer; not so goot as dot; vat you galls a brivateer?
46250No insinuation I hope?
46250No,returned the major, gazing meditatively into the fire;"what right would he have to haunt me, captain, seeing he was killed in battle?"
46250No; but here in the woods?
46250Now which way shall we travel?
46250Now? 46250 O, Kenneth, Kenneth, you ca n''t mean it?"
46250Of poor Captain Herrod? 46250 Of what kind, sir?"
46250Officer?
46250Oh what''ll we do? 46250 Oh, Nell, you are not hurt?
46250Oh, ca n''t you get Wawillaway to go with you all the way? 46250 Oh, dearest, how soon may I claim the right to call you by that sweetest of names?"
46250Oh, doctor, is she hurt?
46250Oh, then we must be near Chillicothe, are we not?
46250Oh, why did you come at all,she sobbed,"if you must go away again?
46250Oh, why is it that I am not to be trusted?
46250Oh, will you?
46250Only too gladly, ah, you can not doubt that, but have you thought of the long, tedious journey overland, and the dangers of the voyage?
46250Possibly,returned Dale, with gravity,"but can you conjecture what that business is?"
46250Pray tell me, are the Clendenins wealthy?
46250Shall I go to her at once?
46250Shall you be sorry to see me go?
46250She has grown? 46250 She is safe then?
46250She is then of a literary turn, this young heroine of yours?
46250She is your sister, is she, sir? 46250 She mout put some pizen in de wittles, massa doctah, do n''t you tink?"
46250So, so, Fairy, be quiet, will you?
46250Something is amiss with you, and surely you will tell me what it is, that I may try to relieve you?
46250Suppose then you go with the party in the pirogue, down the river to Cincinnati?
46250Then what''s to be done?
46250Then you are indeed Reumah Clark?
46250There''s even- handed justice for ye, stranger?
46250To you, Miss Nell? 46250 Uphold him?
46250Vat ish dot, mynheer?
46250Vell, mynheer, an''you gan keep von leedle segret, I dinks dot gan be found?
46250Very well,he said looking back,"am I to let the thief escape rather than keep you waiting for an hour?"
46250We''re worth a good deal, are n''t we, Ralph?
46250Well, fair lady, will you vouchsafe an answer to my question now?
46250Well, old girl, what have you bagged?
46250Well, what more?
46250Were you all alone?
46250What can have become of him? 46250 What can he want here?
46250What can we do for her?
46250What can you mean, my poor, poor child?
46250What can you mean?
46250What de mattah, chile?
46250What do you know of her, little one?
46250What do you think of her?
46250What do you think of this Englishman?
46250What do you want, sah?
46250What gentlemen, Tig?
46250What has that to do with it?
46250What is it, Gotlieb?
46250What is it, Nell?
46250What is it, doctor?
46250What is it, little sister? 46250 What is it, mother?"
46250What is it? 46250 What is it?
46250What is it?
46250What is it?
46250What is it?
46250What is it?
46250What is the disease?
46250What is the matter?
46250What kinds?
46250What more can you ask, pray?
46250What shall we call you, mother?
46250What then?
46250What things, Hans?
46250What was it, and on which child?
46250What was the matter? 46250 What were the circumstances?"
46250What would you have me do? 46250 What you, too, sir?"
46250What''s a- keepin''that thar confounded Britisher and his Dutchman? 46250 What''s that?"
46250What''s wanted?
46250What''s wrong? 46250 What''s wrong?"
46250When will your master be home?
46250Where are the men? 46250 Where did he go?"
46250Where now?
46250Where''s your man now?
46250Where''s your master?
46250Where, my dear?
46250Where? 46250 Who can he be?
46250Who is that, Grimes?
46250Who?
46250Why did n''t he come in and take breakfast with us?
46250Why did n''t you bring one?
46250Why did n''t you drive it out of doors?
46250Why do n''t they get out of the way when the tree''s going to fall? 46250 Why do you all talk so much?"
46250Why had she let herself care for him when he was going away and would never, never come again?
46250Why should I grudge to him the prize that can never be mine?
46250Why should I trouble myself about it?
46250Why should you hesitate to say to me all that is in your heart?
46250Why that shudder, my sweet girl?
46250Why you more than the rest of us?
46250Why, have n''t you heard that the Indians have killed Captain Herrod?
46250Why, where did you come from?
46250Why, ye ai n''t goin''a''ready? 46250 Will you step up and look at them?
46250With Nell, pray what has she to do with it?
46250Would you, oh, would you?
46250Ye do, eh?
46250Ye''ll be a wantin''supper, wo n''t ye?
46250Yes, yes; why not?
46250Yes,answered Clare,"do you not know that the Indians have a way of lighting up their wigwams with torches made of the splinters of birch and pine?"
46250Yes; and how can I let you meet them alone?
46250Yes; do you think Philadelphia is the only place where one may shop?
46250You and he were both born at Glen Forest?
46250You are a white woman, why should you wish to conceal the fact?
46250You are all quite well?
46250You are here as a settler?
46250You are not hurt?
46250You did n''t? 46250 You have found her?"
46250You have had some encounters with them?
46250You promise?
46250You think it a duty to be happy? 46250 You understand me?"
46250You will be in danger?
46250You, too, Kenneth, my poor dear Kenneth?
46250Your errand shpeed so petter as goot, mynheer?
46250Ah, is it you, doctor?"
46250Ah, must that deadly curse fall on her?
46250Ah, was he utterly blameless, Kenneth Clendenin?
46250All medical works?"
46250An unspoken fear lay heavy at Nell''s heart, Dr. Clendenin, where was he?
46250And Nell?
46250And he?
46250And if it were not?
46250And she has passed this trying ordeal safely?"
46250And she, how could he blame her if her love had at last turned to aversion and she had given herself to another?
46250And was life indeed all dark to him?
46250And what right had he to accuse the dear girl in his heart of fickleness and coquetry?
46250And yet, and yet-- had he, beyond a doubt or peradventure, read that look aright?
46250And yet-- and yet, was not the Love which permitted them to remain, infinitely greater than his?
46250And you, darling?
46250Any women?"
46250Anything more?"
46250Anything much the matter?"
46250At his own door he was met by Major Lamar with the question,"Any news of the doctor yet?"
46250Be on the lookout for them and warn them to hurry back, will you?"
46250But could it be possible that she would throw herself away thus, that she would give her hand without her heart?
46250But first, has any one called?"
46250But how came they there?"
46250But should she ever see him again?
46250But then, on second thought, how would he know anything about the woman or your interest in her?
46250But what could be the cause of this strange, silent anguish?
46250But what''s that thought of yours?
46250But, Kenneth, the child is certainly ill, have you discovered the cause of her malady?"
46250But, Kenneth, what shall we do?
46250Ca n''t you help me to think of something new?"
46250Can I be of any assistance in getting yours there?"
46250Can you get help in capturing him?"
46250Can you sit your horse now?"
46250Clendenin?"
46250Clendenin?"
46250Did he not save my life?
46250Did n''t I tole you to clean de knives?
46250Did you not suffer terribly?"
46250Did you observe any mark upon either, anything at all to distinguish him from the other?"
46250Do you not love me?
46250Do you think I could be so selfish as not to prefer to do it?"
46250For was not that all his own, had not those beautiful, eloquent eyes betrayed her secret to him spite of herself?
46250Godfrey, you surely said they were all well?
46250Has some one been unkind to you?
46250Has there been any letter or message for me?"
46250Have you heard the news?"
46250Hedwig?"
46250Hedwig?"
46250Her woman''s heart longed to speak a word of sympathy and comfort; but how should she when she knew not what his sorrow was?
46250Here?"
46250How are Clare and the children?"
46250How could he bear it if she did?
46250How did you manage it?"
46250How fares it with you, my boy?
46250How long since they went up there?"
46250I can see him, I suppose?"
46250I''ll try to be content not to know anything; but just tell me one thing: Why do you search for a white woman among the Indians?
46250I''ve learned from some of your letters about your long journeys in the wilderness, why are you so anxious to find her, so grieved when you fail?
46250In some measure?
46250In vain she asked herself what concern was it of his, what right he had to object?
46250Is it from--""Glen Forest?
46250Is it his life you want, or not?"
46250Is it not so, dearest?"
46250Karl Hedwig was in de war, an-- vat you call it?"
46250Kenneth, Kenneth, the child will surely be sought in marriage, and what shall we do?"
46250Lyttleton?"
46250Marian, child, will you call Kitty to see what he wishes?"
46250May it not be a mere fancy on your part?"
46250Minister, are ye?"
46250Mr. Lyttleton, shall I have the pleasure of your good company to our hotel?"
46250Must have had trouble in crossing some of the streams, had n''t you?"
46250Neither had spoken for several minutes, when Lyttleton, leaning over, said softly,"Do you know, pretty one, that I leave you to- day?"
46250Nell, you saw Washington more than once?"
46250Now shall we go on with our reading?
46250Now what else?"
46250Oh, if he might but go to her, pour out the story of his love and sue for hers?
46250Ole Aunt Vashti she tole me watch out hyar an''ax you ef you''s had yo''suppah, sah?"
46250Plunging into a snowdrift his foot caught in something and he had nearly fallen over-- what?
46250Shall I tell you?"
46250Shall we not let her remain in ignorance of that which could bring her nothing but sorrow?"
46250Shall we not try, daughter?"
46250She saw the pain in his face, and redoubling her caresses,"What is it, Kenneth?"
46250She seemed much disturbed, and alarmed, inquiring anxiously,"Do you dinks she fery bad sick, doctor?
46250She started up, saying,"Why you''re airly, ai n''t ye?
46250Surely I may know that, may I not?"
46250Tell me, can I do anything more for you?"
46250That he had reason, intellect, education, health and strength, that God had given him skill to relieve pain and suffering?
46250That he is gone home to his Father''s house, where there is perfect safety and fulness of joy forever more?"
46250The prisoner being arraigned at the bar of justice, the squire turned to McMurdy and asked,"How can you prove this collar to be yours?"
46250Then glancing about as they entered the house,"Where is Marian?"
46250Then looking tenderly upon him she asked:"But what of your quest, Kenneth?"
46250Then who was he that he should be so fierce against this other transgressor?
46250Then, taking her hand,"My darling, my own, is it not so?"
46250This hesitation, this shirking from the result of his quest, grew upon him as he advanced; but at length,"What weakness is this?"
46250Was it he?
46250Was it nothing that a terrible dread had been taken away?
46250Was it unrequited love?
46250Was there not something familiar in the face, the form, the stride with which he crossed the room?
46250Wawillaway, my poor friend, whose fiendish work is this?"
46250Well, did ye find it all out?"
46250Well, whose fault is it but his; why do his lips refuse to speak what his eyes have said over and over again?
46250Were you an officer?"
46250What ails you, Marian, dear?"
46250What cared he for the helpless girl whom he had left lying insensible and alone upon the hill top?
46250What could it mean?
46250What had happened?
46250What if you should be drowned?"
46250What is thought of it, that it''s the doing of the Indians?"
46250What shall I do?"
46250What was life worth without his love, his darling?
46250What was there that she could eat?
46250What was to be done?
46250What woman''s heart could withstand such a siege?
46250What would my friend with White Swan, the warrior Black Eagle''s squaw?"
46250What''s wanted this time of night?"
46250What, live in suspense till another day, while within three minutes walk of her who held his fate in her hands?
46250What, who was that coming slowly and with limping, halting gait to meet her from the other direction?
46250When will he come?"
46250Where can he have gone?
46250Where was Kenneth?
46250Where was she?
46250Where would she like to go?
46250Where''s your clothes line?
46250Where''s your woman?"
46250Who am I that I dare complain or murmur?
46250Who could it have been?
46250Why could he not learn how utterly useless it was to attempt to justify himself under the accusations of his wife?
46250Why did she stay in the house so constantly of late?
46250Why had he not yielded to his impulse that stormy night as they stood alone together by the fire, and poured out the story of his love?
46250Why have I never been told?"
46250Why should we not be kind and affectionate to each other?
46250Why, why did I never speak to him of Jesus?
46250Wife, why do you grieve?
46250Will money open her lips?"
46250Will you have me, have me for protector and provider, lover, husband and friend?"
46250Wo n''t it?"
46250Wo n''t the other girls envy you?
46250Wonder how ole marster is''bout dis time?"
46250Would he return that evening?
46250Would it not be better to tell her all-- to warn her in time?"
46250Would she never revive?
46250Yet there was; for how could the girl gain such an insight into the noble generosity and unselfishness of his character, without learning to love him?
46250You go on to Chillicothe?"
46250You''ll take me''long, I s''pose?"
46250Your arrangements are all completed?"
46250an intimate and particular friend of yours?
46250and do you go alone?"
46250and where did they live before that?
46250and you''re having a good time in his absence?"
46250are we not bidden to be content with such things as we have, and to be always rejoicing?"
46250are you actually here_ in propria persona_?
46250bitten?"
46250cried Kenneth, breathlessly;"and is this what you speak of?"
46250do you not want to share my home?"
46250enquired Kenneth,"there is no distillery in the vicinity?"
46250exclaimed Nell, tears starting to her eyes;"can it be?
46250he asked facing her again,"is it not enough?"
46250he exclaimed,"Lysander Lyttleton?
46250he of all men to sue in vain?
46250he said again,"is he to have all and I none?
46250he said inquiringly,"you have not forgotten your native tongue?"
46250here in this little out of the way village?"
46250how dare you?"
46250how long?"
46250in this most inclement season of the year?"
46250is it not?"
46250mynheer, vat ish happen you, to see von pig ghost?"
46250not bitten?"
46250not risking a greater danger than the one avoided?"
46250offer my services as assistant to Silvy the cook, Maria the nurse- maid, or Tig the stable boy?"
46250said Clare;"why do you lie here if you are not ill?"
46250she asked,"you did n''t hear no bad news?"
46250she cried,"ca n''t you see that my body is not sick, that it''s my heart that is breaking?"
46250she exclaimed; then blushing deeply, as she saw his face light up with pleasure while he asked,"Do you really care for that?"
46250she said in low, tremulous tones,"has he wronged you too?
46250she sobbed, almost wringing her hands in her bitter grief and distress;"why should I be deemed unworthy of confidence, even by my own mother?
46250then I reckon you hain''t no love for''em either?"
46250those sweet eyes never open again?
46250through the woods where they are probably swarming?
46250to- night?
46250vil she die?"
46250was it a log?
46250what had he done, won this dear heart that he dared not claim as his own?
46250what is it?"
46250what is it?"
46250what''ll we do?"
46250what''s become of my Tom?"
46250what''s up?"
46250where was Kenneth born?"
46250where?"
46250why do n''t you take it away, some of you?
46250wo n''t you take me up behind you?"
46250would it not be wiser to put off your journey till spring opens?"
46250you do n''t mean that the Indians have begun hostilities again, Wolf?"
46250you mean God was with you?"
46250you''re not going to leave Chillicothe to- night, are you?"
46250you''ve got Clendenin?"
4389''Is that you, Brian?''
4389''What are you going to do with that beast?''
4389''What does this mean?''
4389( Chorus)--Oh, dear, what shall we do?

4389After this, who can doubt the existence of miracles in the nineteenth century?

4389And can you in Canadian woods With me the harvest bind, Nor feel one lingering, sad regret For all you leave behind?
4389And pray, what brought you here to- day, scenting about you like a carrion- crow?

4389As we left her cottage, and jogged on, Emilia whispered, laughing, “ I hope you are satisfied with your good dinner?
4389At last the poor girl sobbed out, “ Dear mamma, why conceal the truth?
4389At me, I suppose?
4389At what time will you be ready to start?''
4389But after all, what was the man to do?
4389But coffee is not good without plenty of trimmings. ” “ What do you mean by trimmings? ” He laughed.
4389But hark!--What means that hollow, rushing sound, That breaks the death- like stillness of the morn?
4389But mind-- cash down. ” “ And when do you mean to return the rum? ” I said, with some asperity.
4389But scenes like these must be of rare occurrence? ” “ They are more common than you imagine.
4389But what has this picture of misery and discomfort to do with borrowing?
4389But where shall we find friends in a strange land? ” “ All in good time, ” said Tom.
4389But where was the money to come from?
4389But where were the teeth to be found that could masticate them?
4389But who are these young ladies? ” he continued, as three girls very demurely entered the room.
4389But who that had once seen our friend Tom could ever forget him?

4389“ The masther''s come-- the masther''s come! ” “ Where?--where? ” “ Jist above in the wood.
4389“ Toiling in the bush still, eh? ” “ Just in the same place. ” “ And the wife and children? ” “ Hearty.
4389“ Toiling in the bush still, eh? ” “ Just in the same place. ” “ And the wife and children? ” “ Hearty.
4389“ Well, John, I will leave you the soap, but can you wash? ” “ Och, shure, an''I can thry.
4389“ Well, Mrs. Fye, what do you want to- day? ” “ So many things that I scarce know where to begin.
4389“ Well, Mrs. J----, what have you got for our dinner? ” said our driver, after he had seen to the accommodation of his teams.
4389“ Well, how are you, Mr. S----? ” cried the farmer, shaking my brother heartily by the hand.
4389“ Well, if you arn''t a tarnation soft fool, I never saw one. ” “ What do you mane? ” exclaimed John, his dark eyes flashing fire.
4389“ Well, mister; did not you grudge your money for that bad meat? ” said D----, when we were once more seated in the sleigh.
4389“ Well, now, is it not funny that I should be the first to welcome you to Canada? ” said Tom.
4389“ What are we to do now? ” said Mr. T----.
4389“ What can it be? ” said I, with an air of perfect innocence.
4389“ What can she want? ” I asked myself.
4389“ What can that be? ” she said, directing my eyes to the strange monster.
4389“ What detained you so long, James?
4389“ What do you want with soap, John? ” “ To wash my shirt, ma''am.
4389“ What eyes? ” said he, feigning ignorance.
4389“ What has happened?
4389“ What is it, John? ” I cried from the open door.
4389“ What is the matter? ” I gasped out.
4389“ What is this horrid smell? ” cried Tom, issuing from his domicile, in his shirt sleeves.
4389“ What put that into your head, Jacob? ” This was said very demurely.
4389“ What shall I save first? ” was the thought just then uppermost in my mind.
4389“ What shall we do?
4389“ What tempted her to bring this empty bottle here? ” said Moodie.
4389“ What was that you said? ” I repeated the question; and he answered, with one of his incredulous smiles-- “ Was it to me you spoke?
4389“ What was that you said? ” I repeated the question; and he answered, with one of his incredulous smiles-- “ Was it to me you spoke?
4389“ What will become of us?
4389“ What''s that to me?
4389“ When will you be in town? ” “ On Tuesday, if I be alive.
4389“ Who knows what may happen to oie?
4389“ Who thinks of digging wells when they can get plenty of water from the creek?
4389“ Why did you quit your master, my lad? ” said Moodie.
4389“ Why should you trouble yourself about such things?
4389“ Would you have a man give away his hat and leave his own head bare?
4389“ You have heard the news, Mrs. M----? ” I looked inquiringly.
4389“ You told me that you had no fine slack, and you have stacks of it. ” “ What is fine slack? ” said I, very pettishly.
4389“''And your charge?''
4389“''Do white men eat bread the first night their papouse is laid in the earth?''
4389“''Shall we take the fishing- tackle?''
4389“''To shoot, then?
4389“''What''s the matter with Brian?''
4389“''Where do you want to go?''
4389“''Wife,''he said,''whose cart is this standing at the door, and what do these people want here?''
44399Alone?
44399Am I able to protect you?
44399Am I to leave you?
44399Am I to rejoin her?
44399And after that?
44399And afterwards?
44399And are not vexed at it?
44399And do you intend to stay away long?
44399And has my father, who is a learned paleface, counted the warriors who compose it?
44399And how much time,answered the major,"do the chiefs allow the governor of the_ presidio_ to discuss these proposals?"
44399And if the governor refuses, what will my brothers do?
44399And it is to take place today?
44399And now, what are your orders?
44399And now,she said to him,"can I remain in the camp till my father comes, without risking insult?"
44399And these scalps?
44399And what are you dreaming about, little girl?
44399And what is that to me?
44399And whereabouts is the place, comrade?
44399And who was the man with you, mother?
44399And whose fault is it, caballero, if I speak in enigmas? 44399 And why so?
44399And you have got the diamonds about you?
44399And you really think, señor, there is no other remedy?
44399And you will undertake to lead me to him?
44399And you, mother?
44399And your men?
44399Are his wounds serious?
44399Are men always to be harshly judged, even by those who are most intimate with them?
44399Are the redskins at work?
44399Are they still a good way off?
44399Are you come to speak of my daughter?
44399Are you going already, Don Torribio?
44399Are you going to Doña Hermosa?
44399Are you mad, Don Torribio?
44399Are you the man whom the palefaces call Don José Kalbris?
44399But are you really dreaming of remaining alone in the midst of these pagans?
44399But how do you explain his protracted absence?
44399But how were you able to return?
44399But in that case he may come round again?
44399But still,persisted the Indian,"at how many does my father count them?"
44399But the uniform you wear?
44399But what can we do? 44399 But what good will it do me to know these matters?
44399But what is to be done?
44399But what? 44399 But who is the man, Fernando?"
44399But,said he, after a pause,"how is it we have received no news from the capital of the state?"
44399By the bye, what is the matter with you, Don José?
44399Can I do so? 44399 Can nothing change your resolve?"
44399Can you forgive me, madam,said the bee- hunter,"for making this fresh inroad on your hospitality?"
44399Can you let him down with the_ verado''s_ help?
44399Child,replied Don Pedro, kissing her forehead,"what ill could he do you?"
44399Could you keep your saddle?
44399Cousin, I swear to you?
44399Did you not agree to meet the chief at the camp today, and not before?
44399Did you not guess, my son? 44399 Did you not know it?"
44399Do I really hear Don Fernando? 44399 Do you in truth offer me revenge?"
44399Do you know a remedy, caballero?
44399Do you know the nature of the Tigercat''s conversations with Doña Hermosa?
44399Do you still feel indisposed?
44399Do you think he will recover?
44399Do you think so, Estevan?
44399Do you think,said Doña Hermosa bitterly,"that Don Torribio has the sole right of deception and assuming any character at his pleasure?"
44399Do you wish me to break with him, and not to admit him again?
44399Does my father fear that we four should take the town?
44399Does she take me for a lizard, that one can entrap like an old woman?
44399Excuse me, colonel,said the governor, coming to a halt;"but is it not extraordinary that we see no signs of the troops we are going to meet?"
44399Explain your words, Estevan?
44399Far from hence?
44399First of all, who are you?
44399Friend,said he, at last, in a gentle voice,"what is going on out of doors?"
44399Good; Now, what am I to do?
44399Has he been set upon?
44399Have I guessed aright?
44399Have years changed me so much? 44399 Have you brought us worse tidings than his?"
44399Have you forgotten that I am Stoneheart, the most renowned bee- hunter of the prairies? 44399 Have you really come here inquest of me señorita?"
44399Have you seen them?
44399Have you slept well?
44399He has done that?
44399How can I know? 44399 How did you come here, and whence?"
44399How do I know whether she is still alive?
44399How is he?
44399How is that?
44399How many men have we?
44399How many men will you take?
44399How so, señorita?
44399How so?
44399How so?
44399How was it possible? 44399 How was that?"
44399I confess,said the colonel,"that I was a thousand miles from thinking--""What, pray?
44399I recollect it all, Estevan; but to what does it lead?
44399I? 44399 If I did not love you,"she said,"could I not have chosen Don Fernando, who is now at the hacienda?"
44399In case of invasion, do you think the Indians able to give the province much trouble?
44399In what way, if you please, señor?
44399Indeed?
44399Is everything prepared as we agreed?
44399Is he dead?
44399Is he dead?
44399Is it impossible to induce the Tigercat to change his purpose?
44399Is it indeed true,he said,"that you could still love me?"
44399Is it not enough for you to know that I am in a position to serve you effectually in the plans of vengeance you meditate?
44399Is it possible to trust you?
44399Is it possible?
44399Is it possible?
44399Is it proper for great_ sachems_, renowned warriors, to treat of important affairs on horseback, between two armies ready to come to blows?
44399Is it their intention to attack the_ presidio_?
44399Is my father satisfied with me?
44399Is not my presence here an answer? 44399 Is that all you have to report?"
44399Is that all you were deputed to tell me?
44399Is that all?
44399Is that what you call kissing?
44399Is that you, Don Torribio?
44399Is this the idea of propriety you have brought back from your travels in Europe, Don Torribio? 44399 It is my turn now,"said the_ mayor domo_ to himself, as soon as he was alone;"but how am I to get to Doña Hermosa?"
44399It is nothing to signify, señor; it is only fatigue: you are as well as we are?
44399It is strange,said she;"what could his object be?
44399My daughter would speak to the white chief?
44399Now, one word more,_ caballeros:_ where are we?
44399Now, señorita, what are you going to do next?
44399Now, what is to be done?
44399Of what importance is the life of this man to us?
44399Of whom else?
44399Perhaps there may be a man to kill?
44399Perhaps you have, Estevan; but how does that concern you?
44399Quite right: but who can it be?
44399Shall I confess everything, father?
44399Shall I go with you?
44399Shall I see Doña Hermosa?
44399So that would suit you, I suppose?
44399So you are really going, Don Torribio?
44399Speak,he replied impatiently;"have I not told you I am longing for revenge?"
44399Take them; you will lead them?
44399The white chief is a wise man; will he admit women?
44399Then the offer is agreeable to you, even in that case?
44399Then they are in here?
44399Then what is there to vex you?
44399Then you are--?
44399Then you want no time for consideration?
44399They did?
44399To me, or to my friend?
44399To me, señor?
44399To the_ presidio_?
44399To what corps do they belong?
44399Was he not your enemy?
44399Well, Carlocho,exclaimed a voice,"have you found him?"
44399Well, Estevan?
44399Well, colonel,continued Don Pedro, addressing the governor, in the hopes of glossing over the lamentable altercation,"What news from La Ciudad?
44399Well, then, how are they coming?
44399Well, then,said Carlocho, by way of wind- up,"it is settled for ten o''clock?"
44399Well, what is it?
44399Well, who knows whether the Tigercat did not take that into account too?
44399Well,said Doña Hermosa, when he entered,"has the Tigercat succeeded in subduing the exasperation of the tribes?"
44399Well,said the colonel, looking at the two others;"what did I tell you?
44399Well,said the_ mayor domo_,"you have heard the news?
44399Well,_ querida chica?_( my darling).
44399Well?
44399What ails you?
44399What answer shall I give my father?
44399What are we to do now?
44399What are you talking about? 44399 What brings you here?"
44399What can I do, mother?
44399What can it be, then?
44399What can this mean?
44399What do you intend to do?
44399What do you know about that, señorita?
44399What do you mean by that, Luciano?
44399What do you mean? 44399 What do you require, chiefs?
44399What do you say?
44399What do you think of Major Barnum''s advice?
44399What do you think of doing?
44399What do you think of that Luciano?
44399What do you want here?
44399What do you want me to do?
44399What do you want?
44399What do you want?
44399What do your words imply?
44399What does my brother want? 44399 What does that matter, Don Pedro?"
44399What does this mean, señores?
44399What good would it have done me to kill her?
44399What happy chance brings you here?
44399What has happened?
44399What is it to me that the man may be a traitor? 44399 What is it you say, Don Fernando?
44399What is it, señor?
44399What is it? 44399 What is that?"
44399What is that?
44399What is the decision of the council?
44399What is the sum of their demands?
44399What is there in that to astonish you, Luciano?
44399What is this horrible place?
44399What is this?
44399What is to be done?
44399What is to be done?
44399What motive could be strong enough to induce a woman to lay aside the instinctive modesty of her sex, and risk her good name? 44399 What name have you uttered?"
44399What rank shall I give you?
44399What shall I do to show my gratitude for such kind forethought?
44399What then? 44399 What words are these?"
44399What would you have him say, Señor Carlocho?
44399When was that-- today?
44399Where am I?
44399Where are you going?
44399Who are you?
44399Who can strive against a woman?
44399Who can tell? 44399 Who is there?"
44399Who speaks of God here?
44399Who speaks?
44399Why did he carry you off, when he has restored you to us again with so little demur?
44399Why do you ask, little madcap?
44399Why do you impose this condition?
44399Why does day follow night? 44399 Why does my father pretend to be ignorant of our just reasons for war with the palefaces?"
44399Why have they given you this dreadful name?
44399Why have you waited so long before you warned us?
44399Why must you avenge yourself? 44399 Why not?
44399Why seek to deceive me, my friend? 44399 Why should I be frightened?
44399Why should I be? 44399 Why should I give you a different answer?
44399Why should you press so grave a matter at such a moment, Don Torribio?
44399Why so, señor?
44399Why so? 44399 Will Don Torribio deign to explain himself,"he said calmly,"and not speak in enigmas?"
44399Will not my father lead us to the council fire of his nation?
44399Will the Master of life remain neutral?
44399Will the Wacondah be propitious to the Apache braves? 44399 Will the attack be serious?"
44399Will you kill her?
44399Will you save me?
44399Yes; is it not our duty to suffer no means to escape us by which we may save the wretched people confided to our honour? 44399 You do not believe my words, brother?"
44399You do not despise money?
44399You have nothing to do with that: is it so hard, that you will not submit to it? 44399 You have something to tell me?"
44399You insist upon them, major?
44399You know it?
44399You may be right, my good friend; but who will be fool enough to risk his life among these lawless bandits?
44399You really think that remedy would cure me?
44399You recollect your conversation on the island with the Tigercat, which I overheard? 44399 You think so?"
44399You will do that?
44399You will let yourself be killed sooner than give it up?
44399You wish for revenge?
44399_ Wagh!_said a jeering voice;"What is passing here?"
44399_ Wagh!_said the Indian, picking up the money;"What ails the young master?
44399_ ¡ Caray!_exclaimed Don Torribio, waving the_ totem;_"What horrible treachery is this?"
44399_ ¿ Quién sabe?_ Farewell, farewell!
44399_ ¿ Quién sabe?_ We are never sure of anything on the frontiers.
44399_ ¿ Quién sabe?_( who knows?)
44399_ ¿ Quién sabe?_( who knows?)
44399Am I not already a renegade?
44399Am I speaking clearly, Don Torribio?
44399And besides, who is there to give you trouble?"
44399And how many are there, according to my father''s counting?"
44399And why?
44399Are not you too a prisoner of the monster in human shape who has kept me captive so long?"
44399Are these your motives, or am I mistaken?"
44399Are we obliged to keep promises which have only been extorted from us to do us harm?
44399Are you not the cause of the mystery?"
44399Are you of the same way of thinking?"
44399As Don Guzman de Ribera became Don Pedro de Luna, why should not Don Leoncio de Ribera become the Tigercat, brother?"
44399Awake at last?"
44399But enough of this: what do you intend to do, now we have clearly ascertained our position?"
44399But how are we to get Doña Hermosa through the forest?"
44399But now, what are we to do?
44399But perhaps that would give you too much trouble?"
44399But still, how is it to be accounted for?
44399But the women and children?"
44399But this woman?"
44399But time presses; will you follow me?
44399But what do you propose?"
44399But what good will it do us?"
44399But what is the meaning of this noise?"
44399But what sort of token will you send me, and through whom will you send it?"
44399But what traces could we find, after the painful exertions we have already made?"
44399But why link yourself to my evil fate?
44399But why not save those whom you love yourself?
44399By what miracle did you reach me in time to save me?--you, whom I promised to meet at a rendezvous so far from the spot where we are?"
44399Can I depend upon you?"
44399Can I rely on you?"
44399Can I trust you?"
44399Can it be he?"
44399Can that vagabond, Don Estevan, have recognised me?
44399Can you think for a moment that I, on the verge of marriage with you, did not know the love you felt for me?"
44399Did I not command you to take him alive?"
44399Did my forebodings lie?"
44399Did you not know it?"
44399Did you not receive a note without a signature today?"
44399Do they think I am fool enough to fall into the snare?
44399Do you dare to turn my drawing room into lists wherein to break your lance in personal quarrels?
44399Do you fancy me ignorant of your petty machinations, or ensnared by your childish calculations?
44399Do you know any more fitting place?"
44399Do you know who kept me prisoner?"
44399Do you not think so, major?"
44399Do you remember?"
44399Do you think I intend to leave the poor girl there, in the midst of those infidels?
44399Do you think to bar my passage?"
44399Do you understand me now?"
44399Do you understand perfectly?"
44399Do you want to stifle me with kisses?"
44399Does my brother understand?"
44399Don Fernando, you remember how we became acquainted?"
44399Don Guzman, what say you to that revenge?"
44399Don Torribio bowed, and then replied:"May I not have the pleasure of offering my homage to my charming cousin?"
44399Doña Hermosa looked at him with a strange expression, and then whispered in his ear:"Father, have you read your Bible?"
44399Exclaimed Don Torribio, with an accent of truth there was no mistaking;"How should I know?"
44399Explain yourself clearly; and, first of all, what is your pretext for thus invading our frontiers, without previously declaring war?
44399Has Don Pedro left Las Norias de San Antonio?"
44399Has not my nation conquered greater numbers?"
44399Has not my whole life been one long sorrow?
44399Has nothing occurred to confirm your presentiment?"
44399Has the name of Tigercat obliterated my own so thoroughly that that too is forgotten?
44399Have I not given my word?"
44399Have I not heard them assert a thousand times that the redskins are not human beings?
44399Have I not suffered enough yet?"
44399Have we broken the treaties we made with you?
44399Have we not always been generous to the Indians who claimed our protection?
44399Have you any great wish to administer the remedy on this particular spot?"
44399Have you crossed the Rio Grande del Norte, and invaded our frontiers, in breach of the peace existing between us?"
44399Have you forgotten that your chief has forbidden anyone to enter it and annoy me?"
44399Have you no wish to see Doña Hermosa again?"
44399Have you not secured the safety of him you love?"
44399Have you sufficient courage to inoculate yourself with the_ mikania_juice?"
44399He looked carefully around, went up to the two men seated by the fire, and spoke:"No news as yet?"
44399He suspected some treachery in these conditions; but of what kind?
44399How are you, Zapote?"
44399How does it happen that you are here today?"
44399How like you that is?"
44399How long is it since you left the Tigercat?"
44399How many are there?
44399I have the happiness to see you here: will it offend you if I ask why you come?"
44399I hope we shall soon hear from you?"
44399I suppose you know of such a place, not very far hence?"
44399I suppose, likewise, you do not know the name of the person who accompanied me, and on whom the_ vaqueros_ fell with such indescribable fury?"
44399I think you understand me this time?"
44399If this is the case, why not give him up?"
44399In case I want to communicate to you my resolve, where shall I find you?"
44399Is Mexico still tranquil?"
44399Is it a a dream?"
44399Is it not mine to settle affairs between us?"
44399Is it not our duty to be in the breach to the last?"
44399Is it not our duty to set an example to the poor people cooped up here, and protect them while we can?
44399Is it still to be today?"
44399Is it the truth?"
44399Is it you, cousin?
44399Is not this true?
44399Is that his love?"
44399Is that what you came to parley about, chief?
44399It is impossible to doubt it; but what does that signify?
44399It is odd, is it not, Estevan?"
44399Look at me well, Don Pedro; do you not recognise me?"
44399May I hope you will remember the traveller in your prayers?"
44399Moreover, upon whom could his suspicions fall, if he entertained any?
44399My friend-- will you be answerable for his safety?
44399Now, what is the name of the place to which the Tigercat intended to lead you?"
44399Now, where was Don Torribio going, with distorted features and hair streaming to the wind?
44399Of course you are acquainted with the_ guaco?_""Certainly.
44399On seeing a man before her, she stopped, and haughtily demanded:"Why have you entered this corridor?
44399On what plea, supposing I have a secret, do you pretend to search into it?"
44399Señorita, I address this frank and loyal question to you: Will you grant me your hand?"
44399Shall I confess to you, señorita?
44399So you really are devoted to me?"
44399Surely you would not overstep your instructions by telling me thus much?"
44399That I should turn officer?
44399The implacable hatred to Don Pedro he openly avowed?"
44399The insinuations of the man?
44399The question is now, whence this inveterate hatred to Don Pedro?
44399Then the chief took up the word:"My father has seen the great army of the Apaches, and the nations their allies?"
44399These means, what are they?"
44399This is my project; what do you think of it?"
44399Was she mocking him?
44399Was this to be your end?"
44399We are here, and why not others?"
44399What bad news have you received?"
44399What could she gain by deceiving him, now Don Fernando was alive?
44399What does my mother require?"
44399What have we, then, to fear?
44399What is his name?"
44399What is it you demand?"
44399What is the matter?"
44399What is the use of creating bugbears to frighten ourselves?
44399What is there else to fear?"
44399What is to be done?"
44399What is to be done?"
44399What more can I do for her?"
44399What object could she have in coming thus to put herself into his hands, without the possibility of escaping from him?
44399What right have you to cavil at Don Fernando''s presence here?
44399What right have you to my confidence?
44399What should induce me?"
44399What will the master say?"
44399When her heart is in question, when her love is involved?
44399Where are you going?"
44399Where is he?"
44399Who can resist him?
44399Who can tell whom we may have to meet?"
44399Who is able to fathom thy heart?"
44399Who is the enemy that lies in wait for us, and whose savage eye watches us night and day?
44399Whom am I to kill?"
44399Why are there good and bad men?
44399Why break off the interview, when we have not even mentioned the object of it?"
44399Why did you do this, Don Torribio?"
44399Why did you lead them here?"
44399Why has my father''s nation, which assumes to be at peace with us, made treaties with them?"
44399Why have you come into this fearful place?"
44399Why have you demanded this interview?"
44399Why hesitate to pronounce the words?
44399Why not at once?"
44399Why rascals and honest people?
44399Why should I have come?
44399Why should that man wish to keep us here?"
44399Why, then, should he wish ill to my master?"
44399Will you trust me now?"
44399Without finishing your breakfast?"
44399You alone can replace him: will you do so?"
44399You are meditating some daring exploit-- perhaps an expedition to the camp of the Tigercat?"
44399You are not looking for me, I suppose?"
44399You have guessed truly; the expedition is indeed desperate, and who can say whether I shall succeed?
44399You understand?"
44399You will breakfast with me, of course?"
44399Your son calls me brother: would you deign to permit me to call you mother?
44399added the_ mayor domo_,"Are you already satisfied?
44399asked one of the chiefs;"The man to whom they give the title of governor?"
44399cried Don Fernando, as he put his foot out of doors,"Am I at the_ presidio_ of San Lucar?"
44399cried Don Pedro, in astonishment;"You are going to travel tonight, cousin?"
44399cried all the rogues together;"Can that be possible?"
44399cried he, beside himself with rage,"Is it to be thus?
44399cried he,"What has happened to me?"
44399cried the Indian chief in a fury;"Is it thus you execute my orders?
44399cried the_ lepero_, whom the sound of the name seemed to awaken thoroughly;"What are her orders?"
44399exclaimed Don Pedro greatly astonished;"What can he want of me?"
44399he exclaimed, more astonished than ever;"Do you intend to cut off his hair?"
44399he sighed;"How have you fallen so low?"
44399my masters,"exclaimed the latter;"have you had enough, or do you wish to make further acquaintance with my blade?
44399replied Don Fernando;"Who are you, who proclaim yourselves my liberators?"
44399replied Don Pedro,"How are we to cross this impassable barrier; how reach my daughter, without encountering certain death?"
44399replied he,"Because you love him, I suppose?"
44399replied the other, in whom the tale began to excite some interest;"Who has taken them prisoner?"
44399said Don Torribio, surprised;"was it you?"
44399said he gaily;"Now you are free, what prevents your placing yourselves under the orders of Don Fernando?
44399said he;"Shall I stand here to be devoured, without attempting to escape?
44399said he;"What does one, more or less, signify?"
44399said her son sadly;"Are you, too, determined to throw yourself into the hands of the savages?"
44399said the chief, scanning the man narrowly;"And how does my father know that?"
44399said the colonel,"What good wind blows you to the_ presidio_ so early, Don Fernando?"
44399said the hunter, with a sigh;"What am I, the miserable adventurer, that I should lift my thoughts so high?
44399said the major;"But how can we get at the rascals again?"
44399said the noble woman, pointing to Doña Hermosa,"Shall I leave her to sacrifice herself alone?"
44399said the other, laughing grimly;"Is that the way you answer me?"
44399said the sorcerer, with a sneer;"And what does he want with me?"
44399she exclaimed;"Why not today?
44399was her answer"Are you not sure of me?"
44399what further evil is at hand?
23268''Ee do, do''ee? 23268 ''Ee know this child, do''ee?"
23268''Ee know, the Injun-- that are, the Coco-- fit wi''a hatchet?
23268''Ee see a quiver on that Injun''s back?
23268''Ee see that gully ahead o''us?
23268''Ee see them Injuns on t''other side o''the gulley?
23268''Ee see this, do''ee?
23268A Coco, do ye think?
23268A Coco?
23268A house? 23268 Agwardenty, ye say, div ye?"
23268Ai n''t wastin''yur powder, ar yur?
23268An''how are''ee gwine to` cacher''in the Peenyun''ithout water?
23268An''it is raaly worth fifty dollars?
23268And are you El Sol?
23268And ate it?
23268And can you account for that phenomenon?
23268And did she love him, do you think?
23268And have you no wish to go abroad through these gay woods?
23268And how came you, Monsieur Gode, to save your scalp?
23268And how else should I carry them? 23268 And is that love, Enrique?"
23268And is yon gal your sister?
23268And on the fourth--"Well? 23268 And this is the way you have thanked me for saving your life?
23268And what would you have us do?
23268And when did ye eat the buzzard, old boy?
23268And why do you not sketch other faces?
23268And why may we not question our brother, the chief Dacoma? 23268 And why not take that way?"
23268And why not, Enrique? 23268 And why, good Jose?"
23268And why?
23268And why?
23268And will you always be contented here?
23268And would you have the rest to remain here?
23268And yet they hate him, do they not?
23268And you have not been beyond these walls since then?
23268And you think she still lives?
23268And you think that the plains lying among the Andes and the Rocky Mountains are the dry beds of seas?
23268And you think we shall go there?
23268And your daughter Adele-- have you heard aught of her since?
23268And your wife? 23268 Apash, is he?"
23268Are they Navajoes?
23268Are they close upon you?
23268Are you in earnest, Saint Vrain?
23268Are you mad, sir?
23268Are''ee blind, Billee? 23268 Arrah, now, girls,"said he, in a tone of good- humoured intreaty,"will yez be aizy?
23268At an early hour?
23268Bring us a couple of tazas, then-- dos tazas, do you hear? 23268 But can they do this?"
23268But do they come no more to this place?
23268But does not one of these seas still exist?
23268But does not the vapour rising from the ocean float over the desert?
23268But his sister?--is she, too, educated?
23268But how are ye goin''to do it? 23268 But how are ye goin''to feed''em on the road?
23268But how did he accomplish all this? 23268 But how did you learn this?"
23268But how if the wine be poi--?
23268But how should we do for provisions, in that case? 23268 But how, captain, if he squints yonder- away?"
23268But how,I asked, wishing to draw his attention from this unpleasant theme,"how came I into this house?
23268But how? 23268 But how?"
23268But how?
23268But is monsieur fort? 23268 But may they not follow him on horseback?"
23268But this man? 23268 But what can monsieur do?
23268But what of Seguin? 23268 But what started the row?
23268But where are the rest of his band? 23268 But where could he have gone, when you did not see him afterwards?"
23268But where did you come from? 23268 But who?
23268But why cudn''t ye stale it yerself? 23268 But why not remain by this spring, where we have both in plenty?"
23268But why take either belt or bowie? 23268 But why were these abandoned?"
23268But why?
23268But will he pocket all this? 23268 But your tracks; you would make deep footmarks in the struggle?"
23268But, senor, should you be inclined to do so, will you promise me the refusal of him?
23268By puttin''them on another scent, do''ee see?
23268By what right do you interrupt me? 23268 Can I not understand it?
23268Can I untwist this? 23268 Can they be prisoners?"
23268Can ye pay for them now?
23268Can you ride upon your head?
23268Can you suggest any way in which it can be done, Rube? 23268 Can you tell me what a railroad is?"
23268Charles?
23268Did I see him arterwards? 23268 Did I?
23268Did you come across the` goats''?
23268Did you go it raw, Rube?
23268Did you observe a strange- looking man?
23268Did you see anything of Seguin?
23268Do that beat him, or do it not, then?
23268Do they look like prisoners?
23268Do ye think an Injun''s a- goin''to pass a shod horse track''ithout follerin''it up? 23268 Do you mean that he is a stranger here?"
23268Do you see that point?
23268Does not that destroy your theory?
23268Eh, mister? 23268 First gong that?"
23268Fwhat is it? 23268 Have you heard of the electric telegraph?"
23268Hay cafe?
23268He sat beside us?
23268He? 23268 How are we goin''to get them, then, captain?"
23268How are we to get out? 23268 How are ye goin''to prove it, hoss?"
23268How are you to get it down?
23268How can I thank you? 23268 How can that be?"
23268How can we prevent that?
23268How can we take them?
23268How can you tell that?
23268How could he do otherwise? 23268 How is it?
23268How long before we may expect them?
23268How long, papa? 23268 How long,"I asked,"before we can reach your house on the Del Norte?"
23268How long?
23268How many?
23268How then? 23268 How was it?"
23268How will we get at them, Rube?
23268How will you do it, Rube?
23268How? 23268 How?
23268How? 23268 How?"
23268How?
23268I say, old case, you do n''t mind it, do ye?
23268If it rains two hours, do''ee see,continued Rube, without paying attention to the last interrogatory,"we need n''t stay hyur, do''ee see?"
23268Is it deep?
23268Is that like me?
23268Is the animal asleep? 23268 Is this true, Sanchez?"
23268It are this then I''m larfin''at,replied Rube, sobering down a little,"I wa''n''t at Bent''s three days when who do''ee think shed kum to the Fort?"
23268It has a quare taste, has n''t it?
23268It is plain they have no supply of meat, and how are they to pass to the south without it? 23268 It''s a bet, boyee?"
23268It''s moine, dev yez say?
23268It''s some''ut like goat, ai n''t it?
23268Kin your cummarade depend on yer shot?
23268La polka?
23268Man- meat, I reckin?
23268Maybe it was the divil, Barney?
23268Monsieur?
23268No,said I;"what is it?"
23268Not for a good price?
23268Now, Rube; the arrows?
23268Now, sir,he continued, after a pause,"would you marry my daughter, the child of a wholesale murderer?"
23268Of what? 23268 Of what?"
23268Of what?
23268Oh, Enrique; do you think me so bad a scholar? 23268 On our heads?
23268Perhaps then you might be willing to part with your horse? 23268 Pourquoi, Barney?
23268Que es, senor?
23268Quetzalcoatl?
23268Quien sabe?
23268Rube, where can the rest of them be?
23268Sall I try steal''i m, Monsieur Saint Vrain?
23268Shall I have time to load them?
23268Shall we fire as he comes up, captain?
23268Shut up yer meat- trap, will ye?
23268So they will; but how can they in less time?
23268So you got square with the Rapahoes?
23268Surely no mortal hand has done this?
23268Thar''s one Delaware, and big Jim Harris, and--"Who is the third man that''s missing? 23268 The Great Salt Lake?
23268The Navajoes?
23268The army?
23268These ladies are all in different costumes, of different nations; are they not? 23268 These, then, are the celebrated prairie merchants?"
23268They have at times; but what can they do? 23268 They mout ef thur had n''t''a been so many o''these diggins, do''ee see?
23268Thur''s five o''''em, ai n''t thur?
23268To the west of the mountains?
23268Voici, messieurs?
23268Wagh? 23268 Wal; s''pose I plug it at sixty, plump centre?"
23268Wal;''ee see these hyur?
23268Warn''t it yer own shadder ye sighted in the water?
23268Well, and the women?
23268Well, brother,said Seguin,"are you satisfied?"
23268Well,I inquired,"what happened you?"
23268Well?
23268Well?
23268Were you inquiring for Monsieur Saint Vrain?
23268Whar, then?
23268What Indian do you mean?
23268What are ye doin'', old hoss?
23268What are ye laughin''at now, Rube?
23268What call you this? 23268 What dev ye think it is?"
23268What do you advise us?
23268What do you mean? 23268 What do''ee want, Billee?"
23268What does it mean?
23268What doo''ee want?
23268What follows, then? 23268 What if they should stay here to hunt?"
23268What is it, Gode?
23268What is it, Rube?
23268What is it?
23268What is it?
23268What is this fandango Gode has been telling me about?
23268What is this?
23268What is to be done?
23268What number; can you guess?
23268What then, captain?
23268What was it, Rube?
23268What was it?
23268What will they do next, think you?
23268What would they be doin''here so long? 23268 What''s keepin''them anyhow?"
23268What''s there, Rube?
23268What?
23268When would you have us make the dash, captain?
23268Where am I? 23268 Where am I?"
23268Where is it? 23268 Where is the Senora Armijo?"
23268Where should they cross, do you think?
23268Where''s your boots?
23268Where, then, will be your profits? 23268 Where?
23268Where? 23268 Whether have you been hunting or fishing?"
23268Which is your horse?
23268Who are the Maricopas? 23268 Who are these Indians?"
23268Who are these gentlemen?
23268Who are they?
23268Who are they?
23268Who dares to interrupt me?
23268Who is he?
23268Who is he?
23268Who is he?
23268Who is she,he continued,"that I am thus begging for a bride?
23268Who then? 23268 Who told you thus much of me?"
23268Who? 23268 Who?
23268Who?
23268Who?
23268Whur could he''a gone? 23268 Why are they here?"
23268Why did n''t''ee say yur hide wur white? 23268 Why do you think they have gone by the other trail?"
23268Why harm us? 23268 Why is it?"
23268Why not let the yellow- haired maiden return with us, and become my wife? 23268 Why not, Rube?"
23268Why not?
23268Why, ca n''t we go straight up to whar the rest''s cached, and then take round by the old mine? 23268 Why, captain?
23268Why, then, are they here? 23268 Why, to conceal ourselves in the Pinon range; what else?"
23268Why, yes,replied I, looking up;"what fault do you find?
23268Why,said he, looking at Seguin as he spoke,"why is it that the white chief is so desirous of choosing among our captives?
23268Why? 23268 Why?
23268Why? 23268 Will you return this way, senor?"
23268Will you take this hand? 23268 Would yez be so frindly, thin, as to cut it aff for me?"
23268Y porque?
23268Yes; what of it?
23268Yet,thought I,"I have seen something like them before, but where?
23268You are sure there is no pass that leads out but this one?
23268You call this a city, do you?
23268You go on then, of course?
23268You got them back then?
23268You have fears?
23268You heard, then, that I was Seguin the Scalp- hunter? 23268 You knew him, did ye?"
23268You knew it? 23268 You must have followed us from the Arkansas, then?"
23268You reached Bent''s then safe enough, I reckin?
23268You think it is they, Rube?
23268You would have these twenty to keep far in the advance then, capture the videttes, and wait till the main body comes up?
23268You would marry her, then?
23268Yur the young fellur, the capt''n''s friend, ai n''t''ee?
23268''Ee see that, do''ee?"
23268''Ee''ve got six shots, have''ee?
23268''Tain''t Bill Garey?
23268( And why?)
23268( Would you smoke, sir?)
23268A brave return, good sir; what think you?"
23268A house?
23268After a moment''s silence he opened the conversation with the abrupt interrogatory,"What do you know of me?"
23268After all, was the story of the wandering priest true?
23268Agwardent or vino?"
23268An''was n''t she a raal beauty?"
23268And when you love one, her face is always before you, whether she herself be present or no?
23268Are not you?
23268Are not yours the same?
23268Are these whom you have chosen?"
23268Are you mad?
23268Are you ready, my bold rider?"
23268Are you still in the mind to marry her?"
23268As far as we could see, there was no prospect of water on the plain; but what else could we do than cross it?
23268At what point should I find them?
23268Barney was evidently the subject of their mirth; but what was there about him to cause it, more than about any of the rest of us?
23268Beef or mutton?"
23268But Saint Vrain-- the witty, the buoyant, the sparkling Saint Vrain-- what misfortune has befallen him?
23268But how, in Heaven''s name, have you got clear?"
23268But how?
23268But is it thus north and south of the route we travelled?"
23268But is that your ball- dress?"
23268But the words were out--"When I must leave you?"
23268But what''s this?
23268But where were they who had once made these walls echo with their voices?
23268But, tell me, were you in earnest when you spoke of going with us across the plains?
23268Can anyone tell?"
23268Can they belong to the band, fighting against--?"
23268Come along, will yer?"
23268Could I reach the snowy mountain before sunset?
23268Could I throw my body flat, and prevent myself from sinking deeper?
23268Could he have escaped from the thicket while the men were engaged around the fallen buffaloes?
23268Could it be Indians?
23268Could it be a mock surprise of some friendly tribe?
23268Could it be that she was too young to understand the import of the word love?
23268Could it be the mirage?
23268Could it have been a signal?
23268Could n''t you, Barney?"
23268Could not a party get round to the eastern end of the valley and prevent this?
23268Could this man be the hardened and heartless villain I had heard of, the author of so many atrocities?
23268Could we not turn the southern sierra, and come in through the forest itself?
23268D''yur think''ee kud hit a spread blanket wi''that beetle- shaped blunderbox?
23268Did he tell you no more of me than this?"
23268Did my horse possess the"bottom"?
23268Did n''t ye hear a crack?
23268Did n''t ye see the thing fall?
23268Did yez niver see rid hair afore?"
23268Did you see him afterwards?"
23268Did''ee iver see a catamount riz?"
23268Do I not understand all that you tell me of the far countries where you have been?
23268Do n''t I look like him?
23268Do n''t''ee see his moccasin?"
23268Do ye wish to put your old carcass into an agey?"
23268Do you all bind yourselves to this?"
23268Do you lie sleepless on your soft couch?
23268Do you long for my return, as I to hasten it?
23268Do you not remember?
23268Do you think I could rob you of what you esteem so highly, and with such just reason, too?
23268Do you think I love you, Enrique?"
23268Do you think the Yankees have an eye to this quarter?"
23268Do you want to git soaked, old case?"
23268Do''ee know what sort o''brush thur a- toatin''yander?"
23268Do''ee see these hyur nicks: them standin''sep''rate?"
23268Eh, boyees?"
23268Eh, voyageur?"
23268El Sol?"
23268Enrique, why did you tell me that you loved me?
23268Flowers?
23268Follow him to Parida?
23268For what purpose?
23268For what purpose?
23268Had I encountered him in my struggles for water, or had I dreamed it?
23268Had I imbibed a portion of the divine essence that lives, and moves, and has its being in those vast solitudes?
23268Had he escaped, as he intended?
23268Had she been as true to me?
23268Had they scalped me?
23268Hain''t ye, Rube?"
23268Have you not won her affections?"
23268Have you seen the captive ocelot?
23268Have you seen the wild bird that refuses to be tamed, but against the bars of its cage- prison still beats its bleeding wings?
23268He fired two: where is the other?
23268He has done so before: how can this be?"
23268How are''ee gwine to get at it with this cavayard''ithout makin''sign?
23268How came I here?
23268How can we know that this is true?
23268How come they to be here?
23268How is it with you?
23268How is that?
23268How is the wind?"
23268How long have you been up?"
23268How long, Enrique?"
23268How many hours do you think, Enrique?"
23268How much water have we?"
23268How thin?"
23268How was the town to be taken?
23268How were we to approach the valley?
23268How when we have travelled over and neared the opposite side?
23268How will your long- tailed blue look, with a broad belt and bowie strapped round the skirts?
23268How would they be armed?
23268How, capitaine?"
23268How, then, was Rube to"take the shine out o''that Injun''s shot"?
23268How?"
23268I asked, hurriedly;"how shall we act then?"
23268I asked, the remembrance of our first interview now occurring to me,"why were you so eager to possess him?"
23268I asked,"this man about whom there seems to be so much that is mysterious?"
23268I inquired, doubting the possibility of our enemies being able to effect their purpose in that way;"can we not bear the smoke?"
23268I know it; and why not?
23268I saw that I was still upon the platform; but where was my antagonist?
23268I say, city life do n''t agree with us, eh?"
23268I see nothin''but them about; an''how are we goin''to get them''ithout shootin''?"
23268I think you said then that I could not?"
23268If they wur a- comin''ahint, some o''them niggurs on t''other side wud''a gone back afore this to hurry''em up, do''ee see?
23268If you have just arrived from two hundred miles down the Rio Grande, how, may I ask, could you have known anything about me or my horse?"
23268In New Mexico?
23268In half a day I warrant they kin get all the meat they want: but how are they a- goin''to jirk it in less than three?
23268In my hands?"
23268In the fust place, then,''ee all see that this hyur prickly ai n''t more''n hef size o''the squash?"
23268Is he--""What?
23268Is it a wolf?
23268Is it jealousy?
23268Is it not so?"
23268Is it not so?"
23268Is it that he wishes to get back the yellow- haired maiden?"
23268Is that mountain near the line of our course, think you?"
23268Is your wound a severe one?"
23268It is, then, to--""Git a grist of scalps; what else?"
23268It smells like one-- one--""Is it fish, ye mane?"
23268It would please the Great Spirit and satisfy us to exchange our captives; but how can we tell that your words are true?
23268Kud yur Injun do that?
23268Look hyar, little''un, kin yer go the b''ar dance?"
23268Look to yur sights, and give''em gos; do''ee hear?"
23268May she not?"
23268Me-- your father?"
23268Mucho bueno?
23268Now, cap, do''ee see how?"
23268Old fellow, do n''t you know me?"
23268Pourquoi: vy he no like him ver sheep?
23268Prisoners?"
23268Shall we go forward?
23268Shall we leave such souvenirs?
23268Shet up yur heads, an''wait, will ye?"
23268Should I hoist my handkerchief, and try to lure them up?
23268Should I imitate their call?
23268Should we move on to it that night?
23268Some fear that we were still in peril from the pursuing foe?
23268Starve us out?
23268Tell me, where am I?
23268The child- like simplicity of that question,"Enrique, what is to marry?"
23268The music; will you play again?"
23268Then someone asked me, would I not like to join them in"a trip"?
23268These, and other inhuman acts, you have no doubt heard of?"
23268They were gone; but where?
23268This mountain, then, must be reached; and how were we to effect it without crossing the trail?
23268To whom?
23268Voulez vous?"
23268Wa''nt it?"
23268Was I certain I saw it?
23268Was I suffering a retribution of God?
23268Was he about to take my life, or bind me by some fearful oath, this man of cruel deeds?
23268Was it a mountain of gold?
23268Was it mortal?
23268Was it possible he could hear me?
23268Was it that city of golden gates and burnished towers?
23268Was it the Cibolo of the Spanish padre?
23268Was she blushing?
23268Was there no one there?
23268We can not bring them prisoners?
23268We can, live for weeks upon them; but will the cacti assuage the thirst of men and horses for a period of three or four days?
23268We had hardly lit our cigarettes when the man again turned to me with the unexpected question--"Will you sell your horse?"
23268We have our blankets; what more do we want?"
23268We kin try neverthemless; an''mind, young fellur, it''s our only chance: do''ee hear?"
23268Well, mozo, you have brought the coffee?"
23268Well-- about the buzzard?"
23268Well?"
23268Were his thoughts in communion with mine?
23268Were these the inhabitants of the city?
23268Were they sportsmen?
23268Whar would we be after a volley?
23268What am I larfin''at?
23268What am I larfin''at?"
23268What are they?"
23268What are you doing here?"
23268What can she know of love?"
23268What cloud is crossing the rose- coloured field of his horoscope?
23268What could I do?
23268What could he want with your horse?
23268What could it mean?
23268What could it mean?
23268What covers the broad expanse between?
23268What crime, then, have I committed?
23268What did they intend to do with these?
23268What did you see?"
23268What do I behold?
23268What do we see?
23268What do we want with so much meat?"
23268What does he intend to do with this?
23268What else?
23268What feat could he perform that would eclipse the one just witnessed?
23268What gave me a beard?
23268What had brought such an individual to such a place?
23268What hindered him from taking the horse instead of the mule?
23268What is Seguin doing?
23268What likelihood was there that she would remember her mother?
23268What next?
23268What next?"
23268What number of men composed it?
23268What of him?
23268What other plan would they adopt?
23268What other road, then, can we take?"
23268What reptile is gnawing at his heart, that not even the sparkling wine of El Paso can drown?
23268What say you, voyageur?"
23268What shall we do with it?"
23268What should hinder me to combine profit with pleasure, and invest it as you do?"
23268What should we do?
23268What terrible proof was he going to exact of my faith, of my love?
23268What then had--?
23268What then?
23268What then?
23268What then?
23268What use are these manikins in creation?
23268What want you with us?"
23268What was it?
23268What was to be done?
23268What were the lives of men like these?
23268What would you do first, Rube?
23268What''ll yer drink?
23268What''s the dratted rumpus?"
23268What, then, if the demon had whispered truly?
23268When you are near me, why should I not be happy?"
23268Whence came these?
23268Whence had it come?
23268Where are the glossy gentlemen of the Planters''Hotel?
23268Where are the houses, the palaces, that should appertain to these lordly parks?
23268Where are the owners of these lands, of these flocks and fowls?
23268Where are they now?
23268Where could they be?
23268Where did you find me?"
23268Where did you see them?"
23268Where has he gone?
23268Where have they gone?
23268Where is Seguin?
23268Where was I last?
23268Where was Rube?
23268Where was it now?
23268Where was the owner?
23268Where were its sands of gold?
23268Where were the busy gossips?
23268Where, then, is all the money to some from?"
23268Wherein have I wronged you?"
23268Who am I that ask this?
23268Who are these forms?
23268Who are you, sir?
23268Who are you?
23268Who are you?"
23268Who are''ee, anyhow?
23268Who can answer this?
23268Who did''ee think this child wur?"
23268Who had ever penetrated this region, the very country in which the ecclesiastic represented the golden city of Cibolo to exist?
23268Who had knelt under the sacred shadow of that once hallowed pile?
23268Who had proved it a fable?
23268Who has run away?"
23268Who hath woven them into these pictured parterres?
23268Who is Tantalus?
23268Who is the sixth?"
23268Who knows but what they may flit in the morning?"
23268Who knows the end?
23268Who knows?
23268Who of them had not heard of it, whether credulous or not?
23268Who palavered about a post?
23268Who planted these flowers?
23268Who told you?"
23268Who''s goin''to take his word?"
23268Whose?
23268Whur do''ee want me to go?"
23268Whur is she?
23268Why did you teach me to love?"
23268Why do n''t ye off wid it, man?"
23268Why do you wish to know that?"
23268Why had not he finished me?
23268Why had not he flung me over the cliff?
23268Why is not she happy?
23268Why not here?"
23268Why not joyous, having recovered her long- lost, much- loved child?
23268Why not?"
23268Why?
23268Will he fling it up, and send his bullet through it in the air?
23268Will not the Government--?"
23268Will ye?"
23268Will you forgive me?"
23268Wood?
23268Would it not, thus enthroned, reign over all other thoughts in her heart''s kingdom?
23268Would the animal permit me to load it?
23268Would the mare stand?
23268Would they be on its top?
23268Ye heerd him jest now''bout the other gals?"
23268Yez are sure now it''s the stuff?"
23268You a squaw?"
23268You approached it by a desert, did you not?"
23268You are surely not going into a ball- room with your pistols in that fashion?"
23268You heard all this?"
23268You intende, do yer?"
23268You mean from down the Del Norte?"
23268You seem to have taken a strange fancy to my horse?"
23268You vill sure have grand plaisir to see un fandango Mexicain?"
23268You will do all you can for her?"
23268You''ll go, of course?"
23268Yur game to the toes, ai n''t''ee?"
23268all right, eh?"
23268and how came you to cut such a figure in it?
23268and when?
23268and where got he the gold?
23268and why?
23268are you awake?
23268asked Seguin;"can we approach them, do you think?"
23268but how came I?
23268but in what way can we effect that?"
23268by evaporation?"
23268continued he, addressing the latter,"have ye got a cummarade on the ground as knows yer shooting?"
23268cried he, in good humour,"how les sauvages my scalp take?
23268cried he, reining up, and bending from his saddle to get a better view of me,"is it you or your ghost?
23268cried one of the hunters;"shoot the mark off a yer own head?"
23268do you not know me?
23268do you not see that the whole tribe would be back upon our trail before midnight?
23268exclaimed Kirker, a fellow of brutal aspect;"thar are wives apiece, boys: why not every man help himself?
23268exclaimed a Mexican,"what do you think of monkey?
23268exclaimed another, in Spanish;"why take any of them?
23268exclaimed one of the men;"why did n''t ye give him time to skin the meat?
23268grass?
23268hang it, old hoss, what are ye''bout?"
23268how could they''a missed our trail, that''s as plain as a waggon track?
23268how have you got out of the hands of the Philistines?"
23268how?"
23268how?"

23268is that the reason?

23268that your ball- dress?
23268the clouds?
23268the sky?
23268the young queen?"
23268through the flesh?

23268your other child?"
9932Ah, Jonathan, come out to see the sunset? 9932 Am I a man, or only a coward?"
9932Ambush?
9932An hour ahead; can we come up with them before they join Brandt an''Legget?
9932An''leave you all alone to fight Legget an''the rest of''em?
9932An''let Wetzel go always alone?
9932And that is?
9932And your companion?
9932Any Injun sign?
9932Any glimpse of Jack or Lew?
9932Any sign of Jack?
9932Are n''t you tired, lass?
9932Are you alone?
9932Bill, who''s doing this horse- stealing?
9932Brandt an''Metzar, with Legget backin''them, an''the horses go overland to Detroit?
9932Brandt''s here, then?
9932But ca n''t you see? 9932 But can not you spare him?"
9932Ca n''t you find nothin''more?
9932Ca n''t you stay home now?
9932Care?
9932Child, why did n''t you go to my brother?
9932Close by?
9932Colonel Zane, is not a borderman such as Jonathan worthy a woman''s regard?
9932Come from Blue Pond?
9932Come to see me when you are in the settlement?
9932Cousin, what is the matter?
9932Did Will come over this way?
9932Did he, Betty?
9932Did the reddys do any mischief?
9932Did they find Brandt?
9932Did ye notice anythin''queer about thet guide?
9932Did ye see how oneasy he was last night? 9932 Did you care so very much?"
9932Did you come here to see me?
9932Did you hear all?
9932Did you notice how Jack''s face darkened when his comrade came? 9932 Did you see Wetzel again?"
9932Did you see her?
9932Did you spy on me?
9932Do you know which one?
9932Do you like Helen?
9932Do you make a distinction between pioneers and bordermen?
9932Do you think Jonathan and Wetzel will catch Brandt?
9932Done? 9932 Eb, who is this Brandt?"
9932Ebenezer, what''s this I hear about Indians?
9932Everything quiet?
9932Find out what men are there?
9932For you, then, is there no such thing as friendship?
9932Gather any hickory- nuts from birch or any other kind of trees?
9932Git away on hoss- back?
9932Gone?
9932Hain''t I got eyes?
9932Has Jack really come in?
9932Has no one else been here?
9932Have I ever left you alone?
9932Have n''t I seen bullet holes like this?
9932Have n''t they wives and children, too?
9932Have you any idea what you''ve done?
9932Have you no other reason?
9932Have you seen Brandt since?
9932Hello, Alex, did you have a good trip?
9932Hello, Jack, where are you bound?
9932Hev you any meat?
9932Hev you lost yer senses? 9932 How about the Indians?"
9932How about you, Will?
9932How are you?
9932How can I? 9932 How d''ye know we''re near the fort?"
9932How did you get here?
9932How did you lose your way?
9932How far are we from Fort Henry?
9932How far from here?
9932How is he?
9932How is it different? 9932 How long has Betty''s husband, Mr. Clarke, been dead?"
9932How many redskins did they meet back here a spell?
9932How many will he take?
9932How''d Legget and Brandt get away?
9932How''d he ever fight so?
9932How''s that?
9932How, most wonderful brother?
9932How?
9932Hullo, what''s this?
9932I believe that, Colonel Zane; but where is the girl who would interest him?
9932I came over to ask if I can be of any service?
9932I get what you frontier men call the double- cross''?
9932I say, Betts,Colonel Zane cried,"has Helen''s cousin cast any more such sheep eyes at you?"
9932I think Wetzel was hurt in the fight with Legget,said Jonathan deliberately,"an''ask if you know?"
9932I''m not too late? 9932 I-- I help you and Wetzel?"
9932If I persuade them to release you, will you go away, leave this country, and never come back?
9932Is Brandt dead?
9932Is he dead? 9932 Is n''t Eb a terror?
9932Is this Fort Henry?
9932It was fortunate for me; but why-- why were you there?
9932It was then Betty Zane ran with the powder? 9932 Jack''s going out again?
9932Jack, what''d you hear?
9932Lass, how is''t I find you here?
9932Let me see the boy?
9932Lew, any bad Indian sign?
9932Madcap?
9932Marry her?
9932May I have her?
9932May I thank you-- so?
9932Maybe you mean that against old England?
9932Might they not hide in the bushes and shoot us?
9932Miss Sheppard, will you come out?
9932Mordaunt, had you anything to do with this?
9932Mordaunt? 9932 No?
9932Now, Betty, just a little innocent deceit like that-- what harm?
9932Now, Will, what do you think of that? 9932 Of the Indians, then?"
9932Oh, indeed? 9932 Oh, you do n''t?
9932Our game''s up?
9932Peace? 9932 Roger Brandt?
9932Safe you say? 9932 Safe?"
9932Say, Betts, you do n''t mean it?
9932Say, Jack,Colonel Zane said suddenly,"do you connect Brandt in any way with this horse- stealing?"
9932Say, what''d we do here without Wetzel?
9932See that point of rock thar? 9932 See?
9932Shall we play alone?
9932Since when?
9932Snipe? 9932 So Brandt planned to make off with you to- morrow?"
9932So I''m to be in this border crew?
9932Stand?
9932Suppose he had n''t come?
9932Suppose he has-- who cares? 9932 Suppose we run into some of these Injuns?"
9932Tell you? 9932 Thank me?
9932Then Jack was captured?
9932Then he did n''t take the''little cuss,''as Eb calls his man Case?
9932Then he''ll tell papa you came after me? 9932 Then why did you say-- that-- what you did?"
9932Then you meant marriage by me, if I could be made to consent?
9932Then you''d hev little chanst of gittin''the lass, eh?
9932Tired? 9932 Try?
9932Up? 9932 Wal?"
9932We? 9932 Well, Jack, what''ll I do?"
9932Well, Jonathan, what''s up?
9932Well, dear?
9932Well, what then? 9932 Well?"
9932Well?
9932Well?
9932Well?
9932Were n''t you told to stay in the settlement, inside the clearing?
9932Were you alone?
9932Were you in the fort then?
9932Were you there?
9932Wetzel?
9932What are they up to?
9932What are you going to do now?
9932What do you intend to do with me now that I am tied?
9932What do you make of such strange behavior?
9932What do you mean?
9932What do you think?
9932What do you want? 9932 What does it mean?"
9932What for, then?
9932What have Jonathan and Wetzel that other men do not possess?
9932What have you got? 9932 What is your opinion?"
9932What kind of a man is he?
9932What leaves?
9932What made that hole?
9932What now?
9932What shall I do?
9932What will be done?
9932What will the colonel, or anyone, think has become of me?
9932What will you do with the girl?
9932What''ll we do?
9932What''ll you do? 9932 What''s buzzards?"
9932What''s that I hear?
9932What''s that to me?
9932What''s that you say?
9932What''s the border fever?
9932What''s thet?
9932What''s this I hear?
9932What''s yer plan about gittin''the gal?
9932What, bold sir frontiersman?
9932What?
9932What?
9932Where are my Zane babies?
9932Where are my leaves?
9932Where did it end?
9932Where did they go?
9932Where did you come from?
9932Where did you leave him?
9932Where is Jonathan?
9932Where''s Brandt from?
9932Where''s Brandt?
9932Where''s Wetzel?
9932Where''s Will?
9932Where''s my gun? 9932 Where''s the dog?"
9932Where''s the inn? 9932 Where?
9932Where?
9932Who killed Case?
9932Who was your guide?
9932Who''s a drunken ruffian?
9932Who''s in Legget''s gang now beside Old Horse, the Chippewa, an''his Shawnee pard, Wildfire? 9932 Who''s playin''?
9932Who? 9932 Whose prisoner is Brandt?"
9932Why are you so still?
9932Why did he come here?
9932Why did n''t you?
9932Why did you bring me here?
9932Why did you come? 9932 Why do n''t you?"
9932Why do you think so?
9932Why do you want him to go free?
9932Why does the redskin want to take him away to his village?
9932Why not? 9932 Why-- why do you look at me so?"
9932Why? 9932 Why?"
9932Why?
9932Why?
9932Why?
9932Why?
9932Will Ashbow take five horses for his prisoner?
9932Will you be happy here?
9932Will you drink, redskin- hunter?
9932Will you gentlemen have a glass with me?
9932Will you take the chance now?
9932Wo n''t you care for me?
9932Wo n''t you come for a walk with me?
9932Would n''t I though? 9932 You ai n''t insinuatin''nothin'', cap''n?"
9932You ai n''t much hurt, I reckon?
9932You did? 9932 You do n''t believe they''ll rush us here?"
9932You do n''t love him?
9932You intended to let me shift for myself out here in this wilderness?
9932You love the big- eyed lass, do n''t you?
9932You loved a lass?
9932You meant nothing of your promise to help me across the border?
9932You played me from the first?
9932You think Legget''s across the river?
9932You will pursue them?
9932You wo n''t come?
9932You would? 9932 You?"
9932A few words whispered to me not many days ago will suffice for remembrance-- or-- or did I dream them?"
9932Ai n''t there no other way?"
9932Am I frightened?
9932And who may Bing Legget be?"
9932And your daughter, George, is she fitted for this hard border life?"
9932Are n''t the boys at the fort runnin''arter her?"
9932Are n''t you afraid of him?"
9932Are you surprised because after he insulted me I''d see him?"
9932Brandt?"
9932Burned out, do you get that?
9932But what about the savage who warned Brandt?
9932Did anybody ever see anything to beat that?
9932Did it come from knowledge of her beauty, matchless as that of the mountain- laurel?
9932Did it strike ye he left us in a hurry, kind of excited like, in spite of his offhand manner?"
9932Did n''t I beg you to kill Zane when we had a chance?
9932Did you get out all right with the lass?"
9932Did you lose him?"
9932Do all the young men call often and stay late?"
9932Do we mess here?
9932Do you expect them to wait on you?"
9932Do you mean he''s hiding there?"
9932Do you remember what an ordeal that was for me?
9932Do you think this white thief had anything to do with carrying her away?"
9932Does he realize what he''ll get if we ever find out, or is he underrating us?"
9932For what?"
9932Go with me after her?"
9932Had she been dreaming?
9932Had the savages an inkling of his pursuit?
9932How about Wetzel?"
9932How can I?"
9932How can these two men, alone, cope with savages, as I''ve heard they do, and break up such an outlaw band as Legget''s?"
9932How close was Wetzel?
9932How did you learn?"
9932How had Mordaunt associated himself with these savages?
9932How on earth did you know I was on the border?
9932How''er we trapped?"
9932I take it you are from Fort Henry, and will guide us there?
9932I wonder if Wetzel pursued them?
9932If you are a gentleman, tell me why you came here?"
9932Is it true?"
9932Is n''t it real sisterly regard?
9932Is n''t this a lonesome, lovely spot?"
9932Is there no other way?"
9932Is this young nephew of yours strong and willing?"
9932Jack, see them little footprints?
9932Jack, you do not regret the new life?"
9932Kin ye trust ther other party?"
9932Knowing all this, how can I meet any of these men again?
9932Left Lew fighting?"
9932Must I go through it again?"
9932Now we have two secrets, have n''t we?"
9932Of course you know him?"
9932Or was he now working out one of his cunning tricks of woodcraft?
9932Our time''d have to come, sooner or later, so why not now?
9932Out here in this wilderness?"
9932See thet dead white oak standin''high over thar?"
9932Shall we be long?
9932Shall we stay here until daylight?"
9932Shall we try?"
9932Sweetly and pityingly she turned to Brandt:"Will not you help me?"
9932The sun shone; the golden forest surrounded her; the brook babbled merrily; but where were the struggling, panting men?
9932Then advancing to the porch, he looked at Mabel with a more serious gaze as he asked,"How are you to- day?"
9932Then the Englishman said:''It is, eh?
9932Then with big, bright eyes bent gravely on him she continued,"May I ask, Colonel Zane, who you have picked out for me?"
9932Trailing an Indian who was then five miles east of that rock?
9932Understand?
9932Was he still in flight?
9932Was it not because she was a woman?
9932Was it you?"
9932Was n''t he strange?"
9932Was not her answer enough?
9932Was the man drunk when he said he came west after a woman?"
9932Well, Jack, what do you think about Lew?"
9932Well, did you see thet little cuss whip his knife?
9932What are those poor savages to you?
9932What can you do?"
9932What can you learn from these silent redskins?
9932What d''you reckon?"
9932What did I say?"
9932What did I tell you?"
9932What did you come in for?"
9932What for?
9932What have the past sixteen years been?
9932What hill hid the settlement from view?
9932What the deuce-- Say-- Betts, eh?"
9932What was he, to win the love of any girl?
9932What were his intentions?
9932What worse could have happened?
9932What would she not have given for the faint smile that shone in his eyes for Betty?
9932What''s law here?
9932What''s that?"
9932What''s thet mean?"
9932What''s this mean?"
9932What''s this?"
9932What''s to be done?"
9932What''s to be done?"
9932What''s up?
9932When the Injuns are all gone where''ll be our work?"
9932Where are the redskins?"
9932Where are you going with it?
9932Where are your sons?
9932Where do them hosses go?
9932Where do these stolen animals go?
9932Where was he taking her?
9932Where''s Brandt?"
9932Where''s my wife?
9932Which is which?"
9932Who could tell when his strong life might be ended by an Indian''s hatchet?
9932Who did it?"
9932Who said so?
9932Who was with you?"
9932Who''d have thought he was going to give her that blamed, bloody arrow?"
9932Who''s disposin''of''em for this fellar?"
9932Why did he want to pull a knife on the borderman?
9932Why do n''t he keep Zane here until you can spare more than three Indians to go with him?
9932Why do you ask?"
9932Why do you shadow my friends?
9932Why not with me?"
9932Why not?
9932Why this sudden interest in Roger Brandt?"
9932Why?
9932Why?"
9932Why?"
9932Will you break a borderman''s custom, for my sake?"
9932With eyes like those?
9932Wo n''t you please tell me?"
9932Would n''t Mr. Jonathan Zane, borderman, Indian fighter, hero of a hundred battles and never a sweetheart, be flattered?
9932You do n''t suppose Wetzel will be afraid of four savages?
9932You remember Jake Deering?
9932You would n''t think they practiced anything of the kind, would you?
9932ai n''t she sassy?"
9932exclaimed the colonel''s buxom wife, from the window,"do n''t you ever get tired hearing Eb talk of Wetzel, and Jack, and Indians?
9932how can I thank you?"
9932interrupted the teamster,"or safe, either, fer thet matter?
9932well, I do n''t believe I have left a wish, unless----""Unless?"
9932what am I thinking, and he a stranger?"
7087''But_ you_, it seems, are not observing the theory about which you are so positive?'' 7087 ''Carvil,''said he,''did you know that we students were committing treason against the great laws of life which God has laid down for us?''
7087A bee? 7087 Ai n''t he, now?"
7087And also much valuable knowledge?
7087And are you not a- going to try them?
7087And it would be a hard and heavy month''s job for you and the young man to do it, would it not?
7087And what do_ I_ care for that? 7087 And who had a better right?
7087And why not?
7087And would not an occasional excursion in_ this_ direction be as pleasant as any other?
7087And you think hundreds well spent, when you are wanting thousands to pay your debts, do you?
7087And you, Codman?
7087And you, Fluella?
7087Are the family there, now?
7087Are you familiar with the place where you think he lies concealed?
7087Are you sure of that?
7087Ask that man,he added, pointing to Carvil, whom he appeared to have previously recognized,--"ask him, if me do thing like that?"
7087Bark will not peel well at this season, will it?
7087But are they often thus dangerous?
7087But do you know where we are, and where driving at this tremendous speed?
7087But do you think he can yet be overtaken, and arrested?
7087But how are we to get the bark covering?
7087But how came she by those neatly- turned English features, and that clear, white complexion?
7087But how can I provision such a company on so short notice?
7087But how in cloudy weather?
7087But how you help there?
7087But how,asked Claud,"could stranger Indians, whom I encountered, know to whom it was given, or that I did not find, buy, or steal the article?"
7087But is there no hope?
7087But the main part of his property,demanded the other, with a startled look,"you do n''t mean but what the main part of his property is still left?"
7087But the oars?
7087But the young man,he resumed after a thoughtful pause,"would know more of the history of the Red Men who once held the country as their own?
7087But what is the young tree with which you have coupled it?
7087But where does this good and generous white father live, and what is his name?
7087But where is Tomah, the Indian?
7087But where is their house?
7087But who is the man, and where, who is going to give the young man such a property?
7087But why did you suppose so?
7087But why do you ask such a question?
7087But will he not come down, to escape in his boat, to- night?
7087But you did not learn to read in the wigwam, Fluella?
7087But you do n''t propose to go alone?
7087But, Mark,he added, after a pause,"Mark, what will this useless parade here to- night cost you?"
7087But, for all that, he is a good fellow enough at the bottom, if you can ever find it: ai n''t all that so, Jonas?
7087But, to do all this, you must have risen long before day; how did you contrive to wake up?
7087Can any of you handily get at your pork, so as to cut off and throw me a small bit? 7087 Can it endanger our buildings?"
7087Claud?
7087Corn meal?
7087Crow?
7087Did you afterwards see and identify him in this region?
7087Did you ever have the Canada leader I have spoken of pointed out to you, previous to the outbreak?
7087Do you know you are under oath, sir? 7087 Do you see and hear that?"
7087Do you tell that story when you have my last dollar in your pocket? 7087 Double?"
7087Earlier? 7087 Elwood?
7087Have you no word to leave for my husband when he comes?
7087Have you not yet seen my husband?
7087Have you witnesses to introduce on the part of the defence?
7087He can not have been killed, so soon, can he?
7087He did?
7087How are we to put in and wait for bites, without stopping, I would like to know?
7087How can that be done?
7087How can this be?--what does it mean?
7087How could it have happened?
7087How did you know I had killed a''coon?
7087How did you make the discovery?
7087How did you suppose I did it? 7087 How did you tame him to be so manageable?"
7087How far do you calculate the nearest shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence is from here?
7087How is that, Avis?
7087How?--what have you heard?
7087Hurra for the arrival of the good ship Brag, Phillips, master; but where is his black duck, with a big trout to its foot? 7087 I came, gentlefolks,"said the hunter, after a few commonplace remarks had been exchanged,--"I came to see if you know what a''bee''means?"
7087I did n''t take you so: could that be all you intended?
7087I hope so,said the sheriff;"but can he be taken to- night?"
7087I may have heard of the custom; but why do you say you came to ask me if I know any thing about it?
7087I see; but have you made no discoveries?
7087I? 7087 If he should, and_ you_ should command me"--"Command?
7087In the city and not return?
7087Innocent, hey? 7087 Innocent?"
7087Is not, then, all I have stated true; and is not the prisoner, here, the man?
7087Is that so, Gaut?
7087Is there no hope,she repeated, with a sigh,"that this impending calamity may in some part be averted?
7087Is there no way of raising help?
7087It is a fine fat one, ai n''t it?
7087It is possible I should, in such a case,replied Claud, looking surprised and puzzled;"but,''suspected,''did you say?
7087Know about him?
7087Mine, mother? 7087 Moose- killer, is this you?"
7087No caps, packs, or bunches of furs washed up anywhere?
7087No? 7087 O, I should,"said Mrs. Elwood,"if I was entitled to any such present; but what have I ever done to deserve it of you?
7087O, where is Claud? 7087 Persevere?
7087See what, sir?
7087So that, then, is the best fruit you can show of my first lesson in hunting, is it, young man?
7087So the story is voted gospel, is it?
7087Stole it?
7087Supposing I do, you would not have me leave home to- night, would you?
7087The name? 7087 The woman?
7087Then there_ are_ two that_ have_ known you? 7087 Then you consider the lightning more especially the instrument of Heaven than the wind, fire, and other elements, do you?"
7087Then you supposed it was one of your rough visitors I fired at, and missed? 7087 Then you take this as an indication of the approach of winter weather?"
7087There is no danger that the fire will spread, or be blown to the buildings, is there?
7087There may be something in this conception,said Lucifer, thoughtfully, after the speaker had closed;"but is it safe against all contingencies?
7087This, I suppose, is the far- famed moose?
7087True, the little finger was accidentally cut clean off by an axe, when I was a child; but what has that to do with the question?
7087True; but ca n''t we get a clue from something else about the place? 7087 Well, sir, with that view of the case, in which I am inclined to concur, what do you propose now?"
7087Well, supposing it is night?
7087Well, then,resumed the sheriff, thoughtfully,"what course do you think he will take, and where secrete himself, so that he can be found?
7087Well, what luck?
7087Well, what now, Gaut?
7087What are these ladies''names? 7087 What could have brought her here so far into the woods?"
7087What could it mean?
7087What did you think you heard, Claud?
7087What do_ you_ know about my client, whom you are all conspiring to ruin?
7087What does mother mean?
7087What engagement?
7087What in the name of Tophet does all this mean?
7087What is it, as_ you_ read it?
7087What is that rising from the shingles up there near the top of the roof?
7087What is that, Gaut?
7087What is the whole distance?
7087What is there in my course toward them, since they came here, that you ca n''t understand?
7087What luck to- day, young man?
7087What makes you so confident?
7087What movements do you mean, woman?
7087What news?
7087What shall be done, then?
7087What shall we find there?
7087What sort of a place is it, and how many ways are there to reach it or to escape from it?
7087What stronger reasons, or what other reasons at all?
7087What was that?
7087What was the other part?
7087What, leave off with such luck?
7087Where away, as the sailors have it?
7087Where did you catch him?
7087Where is she? 7087 Where, where is she?"
7087Where? 7087 Where?"
7087Who can it be?
7087Who can that be, I should like to know?
7087Who do you mean?
7087Who is she? 7087 Why do n''t you pull him in?"
7087Why not, sir?
7087Why not?
7087Why so, pray?
7087Why, have n''t you seen him? 7087 Without asking?
7087Wondrous conclusive, a''n''t it? 7087 Would n''t my good friends, here, like to try this game again?"
7087Would the young man know the history of Wenongonet, alone?
7087Yes, but I should like mightily to know how he got wind of our movements? 7087 Yes, but to climb it would be a long, and perhaps dangerous task, would it not?"
7087Yes, but what do you expect to make here more than in any other new country? 7087 Yes, if I could; but where could I keep him?
7087Yes, what is the meaning of this? 7087 Yes, yes; but what was that I just caught a glimpse of, out there in the offing, to the right?"
7087You are laying out largely for one day, are you not?
7087You are the good woman of the house?--the wife of the new settler?--the mother of Mr. Claud Elwood?
7087You see that, do n''t you, captain?
7087You see that, do n''t you, captain?
7087You two should hereafter be friends, should you not?
7087Your name, young lady?
7087Your son, I suppose?
7087--''But shall I go to the relaxing clime of the South for this?''
7087--''Can these be had in the study- room?''
7087--''Can this be had in the close or artificially- heated room?''
7087--''Landlord,''I cried aloud, as I saw that personage at that moment passing by my partly open door,''when does the first stage, going north, start?''
7087--''Well, what do I need?''
7087A banquet among backwoodsmen?
7087A passing cloud come over the moon?
7087A ship?
7087All I intended was, to ask, as I do again, are you through with your evidence_ now_?"
7087And how do you know the furs?
7087And stay,--what is that dark object around and a little beyond the point?
7087And what can you make out of the Elwoods, more than any other new settlers?"
7087And why should she not?
7087And you told Avis what you thought, I suppose?"
7087And, finally, who was ever made healthier?
7087Are you agreed to that arrangement, young man?"
7087Besides this, have n''t I always given you a fair chance to win back all you could?"
7087But can you determine the direction to be taken to strike it?"
7087But do n''t the mad creature see the frigate, and the frigate her?"
7087But if you would accept such a small thing?"
7087But say, captain, you have n''t been reading any chapters in any strange book yourself, lately, have you?"
7087But they can not be very far off, can they, Claud?"
7087But what is that, a little to the left of the ship''s course, in the distance ahead?"
7087But what is to be done?
7087But what sound was that which now fell upon her ear, as if responsive to her ejaculation?
7087But what was now to be done?
7087But what was you about to say when I first spoke?
7087But what you mean by it is, I suppose, that I ca n''t tell the time?"
7087But who can see a piece of lightning when not in motion?
7087But who is that tagging along alone after the rest?"
7087But who is this?"
7087But who was that father?
7087But why do you speak of the first snows?"
7087But why feel this strange interest?
7087But why the useless speculation?
7087But your token should be given to Claud, should it not?"
7087But, for that sorrow and suffering, who before high Heaven will be held responsible?
7087But, if they did so before this second interview, would they do it less now?
7087Can not I still be a man?
7087Claud, Claud Elwood,--can you love this beautiful girl at your side?
7087Could aught human, or aught of human construction, be here, now, and survive?
7087Could they be mistaken in the place?
7087Did n''t I tell you, sir, I''d have no more of your guess- work?
7087Did you ever know a happier?"
7087Did you make it?"
7087Did you mistrust it?"
7087Did_ you_ get a view?"
7087Do you know the family?"
7087Do you notice something protruding as if from under the protecting wing of the eagle of the_ Totem_, there?"
7087Does the young man understand the creed of our people?"
7087Elwood?"
7087Elwood?"
7087Gaut Gurley, what, O what does this mean?"
7087Go after him?"
7087Have I said enough, and not too much?
7087Have either of you as safe grounds of judging him?
7087Have they not now been married long enough to be both entitled to the more endearing names of father and mother?
7087Have you been working yourself to death for those Elwoods, to- day, or has something gone wrong with you, that makes you look so sour this evening?"
7087He hinted, if I would fall into his plan and keep council, we might--""Might what?"
7087He was to have been at home long before this, was he not?"
7087He would jump any pasture or yard fence there is here, and then run away, would he not?"
7087How came you here?"
7087How could they have possibly made out who I, or indeed either of us, was, at such a distance?"
7087How was it there?
7087Hunter?"
7087I ask_ you_, and_ you_, sir?"
7087I do n''t understand it; but stay,--what is that rising from the top of the rocks, some distance back from the front of the den?
7087I dunno but''twas the woman put the devil into him, as women do into two- legged animals sometimes,--don''t they, young man?"
7087If I distrusted the certainty of my aim before this last fright, should I not do it much more now?
7087If_ those_ were so dangerous under ordinary circumstances, what would this be, already bent on destroying me?
7087Might what, I say?"
7087Mr. Sheriff, do you see it?"
7087Mrs. Elwood, may I not sign myself your friend?
7087Must the faults of the erring father be visited on the innocent son, who had become the last hope of the mother''s heart?
7087Must they both be sacrificed?
7087Nor none of the family?"
7087Now only one thing more,--what of your son?"
7087Now, is all explained?"
7087Now, what are the steps you would advise to be taken for his apprehension?"
7087Now, what claim had I on any other settler to be that one to aid me?
7087O Claud, Claud, why has this dreadful cloud come over us?
7087O, why need this be?
7087Our children, as you may have suspected, seem intent on being friends; and why should not we be friends also?
7087Phillips, did you say?
7087Phillips?"
7087Phillips?"
7087Phillips?"
7087Say whether you will meet me at the old room, or not, as soon as your company have cleared out?"
7087Shall we put them on the stand?"
7087Shall you and I leap down, make a spring upon him, and stand our chance?"
7087Suddenly leaping from his seat, from the torturing force of the reflection, he exclaimed:"Must I bear this?
7087Surely, you wo n''t doubt me?"
7087Through whose means did you make your fortune?
7087Was there not some one standing over me, just now, darkening my face like a shadow?
7087We from below have invited him to join our company; are you all here agreed to that?"
7087We have a tough case on hand; but how did you get here?"
7087Well, what is she to me?
7087What business had you to suspect?
7087What can be the reason why he does not return?
7087What could it mean?
7087What do_ you_ say?"
7087What girl is there that he could think of in comparison with Avis?"
7087What if the world should take it into their heads to make it fashionable to be good?"
7087What is it?"
7087What say you, Arthur?"
7087What say you, Claud?"
7087What say you, Elwood?
7087What say you, Gurley, Claud, and Tomah?
7087What should she do?
7087What suppose we pack up, and go and ascend it?
7087What suppose you should be telling, before a great while, lest this end of the fleet might be missing?"
7087When shall we reach there?"
7087Where and what is it?
7087Where is the black duck?"
7087Who can they be?"
7087Who ever came from one the wiser?
7087Who has been so kind as to start such a project?"
7087Who was ever made any better?
7087Who was ever made really happier by being in such an assemblage?
7087Who will furnish me with a good saddle- horse?"
7087Who, but the doubly- guilty husband whose conduct has caused them?
7087Why did n''t you crow, to let us know who was coming?"
7087Why reject one whose life she would peril her own to save?
7087Why should not the same principle apply to the operation of love as well as hate?
7087Why, Elwood, is it possible you have been under a misapprehension about that, all this time?"
7087Will not the chief relate it briefly?
7087Will you all join me in the work, without flinching or flagging?"
7087Will you establish the treaty, and give me your hand upon it?"
7087Will you not go up there?"
7087Would you like to see my son, Claud?"
7087Yes, what is it?
7087Yes, where was Claud?
7087Yes,"she added, after another long and thoughtful pause,--"yes, why not?
7087Yes; and why not?
7087You are the Indian that has been to college?"
7087You have a pretty stiff- looking burnt piece here to be logged off soon, have you not?"
7087You have an affair that you feel a peculiar interest in, with somebody on the upper lake, and--""You know that?"
7087You have salt pork?"
7087You know how curiously he imitated that creature at the logging bee, do n''t you?"
7087You will both go, wo n''t you?"
7087You will join me in going there, will you not?"
7087You, however, should I succeed in getting up comfortable quarters, would not be content to make such a place your home?"
7087Young man,"he added, with a startled air,"was your father calculating to burn that slash to- day?"
7087_ Why_ should they suspect?
7087a dream, nothing but a dream?
7087and are they not happy enough and good enough to merit the dearest names?"
7087and what could have caused it?
7087and what if they do?"
7087and who need doubt the identity of the accursed author of the deed?"
7087and"Where is Gaut Gurley?"
7087but they paid the poor people for their cow, I trust?"
7087ca n''t you trace the chine across the end of this?"
7087cried Fluella, laughingly;"how odd that is getting to sound, Suppose I call your mother aunt?
7087do you catch a glimpse of a house- like looking structure, in an open and light spot in the woods, a little beyond where you cease to trace the path?"
7087do you expect to force the canoe up rapids like these?"
7087exclaimed the sheriff,"what is it you know?"
7087exclaimed the trapper, driving through the ice to the shore;"did you ever hear a rooster crow in a time like this?
7087have you killed one?"
7087he feebly murmured,--"how came you here, Fluella?"
7087hostile Indians?--hostile to whom, to my father, or to me, that I should run from them?
7087may not that son,_ at least_, be delivered from the web of toils into which he has so strangely fallen, and yet be saved?
7087my red friend, where did you get that canoe?"
7087not forthcoming, hey?
7087or rather, first, I will ask, which of them is the witness?"
7087replied Elwood;"why not, for all you can say?"
7087she continued, with gathering emotion,"are you indeed restored alive to my arms, and, but for you, my now doubly desolate home?
7087the name?"
7087then it must be the echo of one, that has somehow struck across from Phillips''barn; but how could that be?
7087what has become of your bullet evidence now?"
7087what is this?
7087what say you, then, to giving them a call as we pass by?"
7087what shall save the poor trappers, now?
7087what was that?
7087what, honey- bees?"
7087where is Claud?"
7087who can find the least fragment of it after it has struck?
7087who could measure the depth of her heart''s anguish?
7087why, that is my given name: did n''t you know it?"
43473Ah, doctor, is that you?
43473Am I going to die at last?
43473And I?
43473And about what did he interrogate him, my child? 43473 And did you leave the camp at daybreak?"
43473And do you know what o''clock it is now?
43473And he is called?
43473And how is she?
43473And if they should make you prisoner?
43473And my mother?
43473And my niece?
43473And so dressed?
43473And the elder?
43473And the general?
43473And those means?
43473And who is this man?
43473And you call it a valuable plant?
43473And you know nothing of their lives?
43473And you, where will you be?
43473And your wife-- do you forget her?
43473And-- what are they?
43473Answer me, then,she said, trembling with emotion;"do you love me?"
43473Are the women of your nation, then, like Indian squaws, who view torture without trembling?
43473Are there no means, then, of preserving us from death?
43473Are we alone?
43473Are we still far from the camp?
43473Are you going to leave us?
43473Are you not afraid of death?
43473Are you not white men? 43473 Are you prepared to conduct us thither?"
43473Are you sure of what you say?
43473Are you sure these hunters come as enemies?
43473At what distance?
43473Be satisfied, I will; but you, what are you going to do?
43473Be warned, Rafaël,he said;"for the last time, will you surrender?"
43473Because I wish you to partake of something I have prepared for you before you mount on horseback; you can not refuse me, can you, dear uncle?
43473But how did you get out of the hands of those devilish redskins?
43473But if your son arrives?
43473But tell me,the mother of Loyal Heart resumed,"when you arrived in the prairies, how did your uncle employ his time?
43473But the name of the man?
43473But we had done nothing to you, had we?
43473But what will be my recompense?
43473But your son?
43473But yourself?
43473But,Belhumeur asked,"is it today-- do you say, old man, that she is to be burnt?"
43473But,Eusebio asked,"the man you have taken-- what do you mean to do with him?"
43473But,said Doña Luz, anxiously,"how shall I know if my uncle be saved or not?"
43473By what right,Frank cried,"does Loyal Heart intercede for us?
43473Can he, then, be unhappy?
43473Come, then; speak out, little pet?
43473Dear mother, what are you saying?
43473Dear uncle, since you regret so much not having a son to whom you could, after you, leave your name, why not adopt Loyal Heart?
43473Did she kill them?
43473Did you know that I was about to come?
43473Did you see,he said,"who marched at the head of the hunters?"
43473Do n''t you think so?
43473Do they like honey, then?
43473Do you draw back, or are you thinking about betraying us?
43473Do you feel yourself able to walk? 43473 Do you find it so?"
43473Do you know a trapper named Black Elk?
43473Do you know one more suitable?
43473Do you know the two hunters who rendered us such timely service?
43473Do you know where my troop is encamped?
43473Do you speak seriously?
43473Do you swear to be faithful to your engagements?
43473Do you think so?
43473Do you think so?
43473Do you wish it?
43473Does my brother find himself comfortable with the redskins?
43473Does my mother feel herself sufficiently recovered to be fastened to the stake?
43473Does not my mother hear me?
43473Does not the life of a mother belong to her child?
43473For once you speak out; now we know what we have to trust to; you demand five thousand dollars?
43473For what purpose, señorita?
43473Forgotten what?
43473Gone?
43473Has Loyal Heart forgotten the visit I paid him three days ago?
43473Has anything serious taken place at the camp, then?
43473Has my brother cause to complain of anyone?
43473Has not my son returned yet?
43473Have you anything more to say to me, general?
43473Have you forgotten where you are, miserable scoundrel?
43473Have you many Mexicans among your companions?
43473Have you no guides with you, then?
43473He will come presently?
43473How can I ever acquit myself towards her and her noble son? 43473 How can I tell, mother?"
43473How can you dream of such a thing?
43473How could I tell I should meet that cursed trapper there?
43473How do you know that, my child?
43473How do you know that?
43473How does my brother know that?
43473How has this happened?
43473How long will it take us to arrive there?
43473How only lately?
43473How so, dear?
43473How so?
43473How so?
43473How so?
43473How the devil can you expect me to advise you? 43473 How the devil can you tell that?"
43473How this?
43473How, to none?
43473I am calm,she replied,"why should you feign a pity you do not feel?
43473I am here; it was impossible to arrive sooner; my mother is free, I suppose?
43473I am playing no double game; but I think you and I have known each other a pretty considerable time, Kennedy, have we not?
43473I am thankful to the chief,she said;"but since he is good enough to take interest in our welfare, will he permit me to ask him a favour?"
43473I believe you,she said; then after a pause she added,"What is become of him?"
43473I can conceive that, my child; but what do you wish me to do to make it otherwise?
43473I do not draw back, and I have not the least intention of betraying you, only----"Only?
43473I hope that the young lady who came to visit my hatto yesterday, in company with her uncle, is well? 43473 I should be most glad to do so, but how?"
43473I understand,she said with a charming smile;"now that, thanks to you, we are saved, you have nothing more to do here,--is it not so?"
43473In an instant,said the Comanche quietly; and turning to the woman,"What is the name of the warrior of the palefaces?"
43473In this world who can flatter himself with being happy? 43473 In what direction?"
43473In what place would you wish, señor, the señorita''s tent to be pitched?
43473Is he dead, then?
43473Is he not, uncle?
43473Is it agreed?
43473Is it far?
43473Is it for the purpose of uttering these commonplaces that you have required my presence here, sir? 43473 Is it not?"
43473Is it not?
43473Is it then such a very valuable plant?
43473Is that all?
43473Is that unpleasant to you?
43473Is there anything fresh?
43473Is there still time, then?
43473Is this really all?
43473Let us consider, then, what is best to be done? 43473 Loyal Heart,"the young lady said, softly,"will you then abandon me to the mercy of this bandit?
43473My brother is foolish,the hunter replied;"does he think me so unskilful that I could not have killed him, if such had been my intention?
43473My dear doctor,she said, in a sweet but weak voice,"are you willing to render me a great service?"
43473My kind uncle, shall I not always be happy while near you?
43473My mistress, Doña Luz?
43473No,said Loyal Heart,"it is Nô Eusebio; what can this mean?
43473Now then, how long does the general reckon upon remaining in this new encampment?
43473Now, I suppose, you have finished?
43473Now, uncle,she said at length,"what is your intention?"
43473Now,Belhumeur continued with a sinister smile,"let us talk a bit; I think I have equalized the chances a little-- what say you?"
43473Now?
43473Of Loyal Heart?
43473Of what consequence is that to you?
43473Of what importance is that to you? 43473 Of what use is it, then?"
43473Of what use is it?
43473Of what use would it be to repeat to you a name which, according to all probability, is unknown to you, and which can not interest you? 43473 Ought I not to watch over everything that belongs to you with the same zeal as if it were my own?"
43473Shall I accompany you, señor?
43473Shall I watch?
43473Shall they belong to me?
43473She may go where she pleases?
43473So,he asked,"Captain Aguilar was killed, was he?"
43473Thank you,the girl replied joyfully;"one word more?"
43473That is something strange,the general murmured;"are you sure of what you are telling me?"
43473That is true, let us be gone; but the captain, what have you done with him?
43473That is true,said the general;"but,"he added,"how do you set about this chase?
43473That is true; but what do you aim at?
43473That may be possible; but if they should wake?
43473The bears?
43473The name of my assassin?
43473The name of that man?
43473Then shall we depart soon?
43473Then the perils of last night have left no distressing impression upon your mind, my dear child?
43473Then you wo n''t tell me what you are doing?
43473Then,the general continued, following up the idea of his preoccupation,"the life we are now leading is not fatiguing to you?"
43473This is what Doña Luz begged me to repeat to you----"Was it Doña Luz that sent you to me?
43473This sort of life pleases you then?
43473To go in search of intelligence, no doubt?
43473To look after our traps,_ caramba!_ do you think I will lose them?
43473To what Indian tribe does this man belong?
43473Was it Amick( Black Elk), the principal guardian of Loyal Heart''s traps?
43473We have some traps near here, I believe?
43473Well done, Frank, and who are these Indians?
43473Well, and then?
43473Well, but what are they?
43473Well, captain,said the general, with a smile,"have you recovered from the effects of their alarm?"
43473Well, then, darling, what are these means?
43473Well, uncle, these means----"These means are?
43473Well?
43473What ails thee, my child? 43473 What are the white men doing?"
43473What are their names?
43473What are they about now?
43473What are those men?
43473What are you doing?
43473What are you doing?
43473What are you laughing at, you little witch?
43473What are your conditions?
43473What are your names?
43473What can be done against the will of God?
43473What did he mean by what he said?
43473What do you ask?
43473What do you do then?
43473What do you mean by that?
43473What do you mean by that?
43473What do you mean by that?
43473What do you mean by that?
43473What do you mean to do?
43473What do you mean, dear uncle?
43473What do you mean?
43473What do you require of me?
43473What do you want with, me, my friend?
43473What does all this mean, niece? 43473 What does all this mean?"
43473What does my brother say now?
43473What does my brother say? 43473 What does that concern you, madam?"
43473What does the chief mean?
43473What does this mean? 43473 What does this mean?"
43473What does this mean?
43473What else can they be?
43473What follows? 43473 What follows?"
43473What follows?
43473What have you done with him?
43473What is all this verbiage to us?
43473What is become of him?
43473What is going on?
43473What is it?
43473What is that woman to him, then?
43473What is that?
43473What is the matter with you, Don Gustavio?
43473What is the matter, Nô Eusebio? 43473 What is the matter?"
43473What is there fresh, doctor?
43473What is there new?
43473What is to be done, then?
43473What is to be done?
43473What is to be done?
43473What is to be done?
43473What is to be done?
43473What is to be said for it, señorita?
43473What matters it to you? 43473 What mischief are you talking about?"
43473What more do you want with me?
43473What shall I say to him?
43473What should you do that for?
43473What the devil, perhaps all is not lost?
43473What then?
43473What then?
43473What time will it require to gain this spot?
43473What will you do, my son?
43473What would you do?
43473What''s going on now?
43473What''s the good of that? 43473 What''s the matter with our rastreros?"
43473What''s the use of asking him anything now?
43473What''s to be done?
43473Whence come these thoughts to your mind, dear child?
43473Where are we going, señora?
43473Where are you going so late?
43473Where are you going?
43473Where is that which I demanded of the chief?
43473Which of them?
43473Which way would you wish to direct your course, today, general?
43473Who are you?
43473Who else could it be?
43473Who knows?
43473Who, I? 43473 Why did you lead them to the beaver pond, then?"
43473Why do you defer my death? 43473 Why do you pause?"
43473Why have you never told me of this place before?
43473Why not, fair lady?
43473Why not?
43473Why not?
43473Why not?
43473Why should I live?
43473Why should I not be gay, uncle? 43473 Why so?
43473Why so?
43473Why that question?
43473Why, ca n''t you see, my friend?
43473Why, then, did you tell me that you did not know how to draw the young girl out, having so much time before you?
43473Why?
43473Will my brother give them up to me?
43473Yes, but where is the captain? 43473 You are going back to the grotto?"
43473You are leaving the camp?
43473You get on horseback then? 43473 You have no son to whom you can bequeath your name and your immense fortune, have you, uncle?"
43473You have saved the life of my niece,said the general warmly;"how shall I discharge my debt to you?"
43473You know dependence is to be placed upon my word?
43473You know me, do you not?
43473You know them, my daughter?
43473You remember,he said,"that you yesterday manifested an intention of finding a spot where we might conveniently encamp for a few days?"
43473You swear to do what I ask of you?
43473You take great interest in him, then?
43473You told me you were acquainted with a situation that would perfectly suit our purpose?
43473You will not scold me, uncle?
43473You will save them, will you not?
43473You?
43473Your wounds appear slight; are they progressing towards cure?
43473_ Cascaras!_ what for? 43473 _ Wah!_"said the chief, in a still more amiable manner,"this renowned warrior must have a name respected through the prairies?"
43473After having waited some minutes for a reply to her question,"Don Ramón,"she repeated,"what have you done with my son?"
43473And it was only for the purpose of pulling up herbs in this manner that you came into the prairie?"
43473And then, what had he to dread in coming a second time amongst his enemies?
43473And then, what remedy could be employed?
43473And where are the Comanches at this moment?"
43473And you ask me if it is valuable?"
43473Are you wounded?"
43473As the major- domo passed the last, with a bow, before his master, the latter asked him:"Well, Nô Eusebio, how many heads do we count this year?"
43473Belhumeur replied, apparently convinced;"but where are we going now?"
43473Belhumeur respected the grief of his friend-- indeed what consolation could he offer him?
43473Belhumeur,"the grandfather asked my guide, who, seated beside me, was vigorously employing his fork,"have you found the track of the jaguar?"
43473But a woman, weak and resigned, presenting herself like a lamb to the shambles, already half dead, what interest could such an execution offer?
43473But how was she to see him again?
43473But she must no longer be left in these mortal doubts; where is your horse?"
43473But upon whom?
43473But what was to be done?
43473But what was to become of her in this desert, where nothing was to be met with but wild beasts, and still more ferocious Indians?
43473But why should I flatter myself with wild chimeras?
43473Can I tell what is going on here so as to tell you what you must do?"
43473Can it be that my brother is a slave?"
43473Could I, after that, arrest the son of the man who had saved my life at the peril of his own?
43473Did he not hold the general in his power?
43473Do n''t you know it is not far from midnight?"
43473Do you clearly understand me?"
43473Do you know him?"
43473Do you not recognise me?
43473Do you not?"
43473Do you recollect?"
43473Does he fancy that we are not men?
43473Does he fear I should understand his words?"
43473Does not the law of the prairies say,''an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?''
43473For what object were these explorations made, at the end of which a greater degree of sadness darkened his countenance?
43473Has he not his mate?"
43473Has he returned?"
43473Has not the hunter come?"
43473Have I spoken well, men of power?"
43473Have I spoken well, men of power?"
43473Have you any good news to give us?
43473Have you received any bad news?"
43473He bowed slightly to the chiefs ranged before him, and addressed Belhumeur in a firm voice,--"Where is the girl?"
43473He had stood thus for some time, when a soft voice murmured in his ear--"What is the matter, my son?
43473He is alone; can anything have happened to my mother?"
43473How can you have the audacity to present yourself among us at the head of a set of brigands?"
43473How could a young girl, accustomed to all the comforts of life, support the hazards of this existence of privations?
43473How could they possibly resist such a number of adversaries?
43473How is it, then, they are met with here?"
43473How long did it last?
43473How long have you been an inhabitant of the prairies?"
43473I am listening to you; what have you to say to me?"
43473I did not know when you would require her to be delivered up to you?"
43473I have spoken: have I spoken well, men of power?"
43473I know their chief then?"
43473I mean, are you able to walk a distance?"
43473I must confess it appeared rather obscure to me, I could not fancy what it meant; but you will explain it, will you not?"
43473In fact, what could they do against these intrepid wood rangers, who reckoned life as nothing?
43473Is it just that we should suffer their rapine without complaining?
43473Is my conduct just?
43473Is not that your opinion, Don Rafaël?"
43473Is that all you desire of me?"
43473Is this the manner in which you execute my orders?"
43473Justice was then about to be done?
43473Kill them?
43473Knowing that you had the Babbler for a guide, he suspects that the half- breed intends to draw you into some snare?
43473Let my father reply; let my brothers say if that is just?"
43473Loyal Heart cried, springing towards him, and endeavouring to raise him up;"what are you doing?"
43473My father has spoken like a wise man; what think you of it, my brothers?"
43473Now that, I think, is the wisest course we can take; what do you think of it?"
43473Now, had the worthy_ savant_ any secret intelligence with Eagle Head?
43473Now, what do you think of all that?"
43473Now, what is to be done?
43473Of what consequence is my life to me, a poor lad without a family, who owes everything to your kindness?
43473On which side must we introduce ourselves into the camp?"
43473Only see, what a fine opportunity you have lost?
43473Ought I to be blamed?
43473Retire,"said the warrior, dismissing the messenger with a nod of the head; then, addressing the hunter, he asked,"What is to be done?"
43473Shall we allow ourselves to be slaughtered like timid ashahas without seeking to avenge ourselves?
43473Shall we never get there?"
43473Shall you remember these words?"
43473She hoped, then?
43473Thanks to God?
43473The guide closed his eyes, collected himself for a few seconds, and then, with great effort, said,--"Give me some brandy?"
43473The pale woman and the grey head?"
43473Then pulling his cloak tighter round him, he asked,--"Are the arms all loaded?"
43473These wounds that you see me bear, who inflicted them?
43473This is what has happened: Last night one of our guides----""The Babbler?"
43473We were twelve men against four hundred savages; what could we do?
43473What am I to do?
43473What can be thought of a boy who, at so tender an age, is endowed with the instincts of a wild beast?
43473What could I do with them?"
43473What could have become of the girl?
43473What did he want amidst his most implacable enemies?
43473What do you purpose doing with the twenty prisoners who are now in your hands?
43473What for?
43473What have you to say in your defence?"
43473What is to be done, then?"
43473What next?"
43473What probability was there in it?
43473What reason sufficiently strong had been able to induce him to commit the imprudence of delivering himself up?
43473What say my brothers?
43473What should I do here now?
43473What then?"
43473What vermin do you mean?"
43473What was he doing during the long hours of his absence?
43473What was the object of this journey, and why had her uncle so positively insisted upon her making it with him?
43473When you arrived in the prairies, whence did you come?"
43473Where is this man?
43473Who has tied poor Trim up in this fashion?"
43473Who the devil has treated him in this fashion?"
43473Why are your features clouded with such sadness?
43473Why did you betray us, you miserable wretch?"
43473Why did you come then?"
43473Why did you not come all together, instead of you by yourself?
43473Why do you hesitate?
43473Why should you torture my mother, who is an old woman, and seek to deprive me of life?
43473Why then do you make war against us?
43473Why, then, did you save me?"
43473Why?
43473Will you conduct them to the stone villages of the great white hearts of the East?
43473Will you have confidence in me now?"
43473Will you release them that they may continue their life of murder and rapine?
43473Will you replace for me the family I have lost?
43473Will you, once for all, allow me to speak?"
43473With that object could Loyal Heart, after having saved her, so quickly have departed?
43473Would the captain venture to come?
43473Yes or no-- do you accept the offer I make you?"
43473Yes; I see you are amusing yourself with pulling up the weeds of the prairie, that is all; and I should like to know what for?"
43473You are no longer so gay as when we set out; whence comes this sudden change?"
43473You are not the principal chief, are you?"
43473You have nothing more to say to me?"
43473You require a victim, do you not?
43473You understand that, do you not?"
43473and what is going on here?"
43473and why do they always seek to deceive the redskins?"
43473answer me, Loyal Heart, will you be to me a son?"
43473are there bees here?"
43473but, in that case what will he do?"
43473cried Black Elk, with warmth;"can you really be on good terms with the Indians?"
43473cried the general, shaking the arm of the guide violently,"will you leave us to be burnt thus, without making an effort to save us?"
43473dear uncle,"she replied, in a plaintive tone;"how can I be otherwise than sad after all that has happened within the last few days?
43473do I ever scold you?"
43473do they fancy themselves capable of catching us, if we wished to escape from them?"
43473has not my life already been long enough?"
43473have you already killed the jaguars, chief?"
43473he asked,"how are your patients going on?"
43473he asked;"are you ill?"
43473he cried, as he re- entered the hacienda,"is it possible that my chastisement has already commenced?"
43473he muttered to himself,"what does this mean?
43473he said in English,"Who the devil are you-- and what are you seeking here?"
43473he said to the doctor,"what are you doing there, my good sir?
43473he said, addressing the young lady,"are you sure you miss nothing, señora?"
43473he said, holding out to him a hand which the other pressed warmly hut silently,"have I reason to rejoice or to be still sad at your presence?"
43473he said,"of what consequence is my being a prisoner?
43473he said,"what does all this mean?"
43473he said,"what is passing in your little head?
43473he said;"you are dull and preoccupied; do you begin to be tired of us?"
43473how acknowledge, as I ought, the immense services he has rendered me?"
43473how acquit myself towards him?
43473how can you tell me to do so, mother?
43473how is that?"
43473in that way----""Then that arrangement suits you?"
43473murmured the officer to himself,"what is this fellow doing here?"
43473my good fellow,"said the captain, in a jeering tone,"what madness possesses you to be herbalizing thus at all hours of the day and night?"
43473or was his proposition anything more than a rodomontade?
43473said Eagle Head, with a sinister smile,"I knew that well enough: why have the palefaces two hearts and two tongues?
43473said the Negro, who, up to this moment had remained silent,"am I not able to carry my master when he can walk no longer?"
43473said the captain, knitting his brows;"do you imagine that I give up my projects in that fashion?"
43473said the captain, shrugging his shoulders,"do you take me for a butcher?
43473said the captain,"numerous?"
43473said the general, whose brows became contracted;"do you know what you ask me, my dear child?"
43473said the general,"has today''s journey fatigued you much, my dear niece?"
43473said the general,"what extraordinary thing has happened, Master Babbler, to induce you to speak?"
43473said the hunter,"what does this mean?
43473said the old man,"are you sure of that?"
43473said the pirate;"what game are we playing now?"
43473said the stranger, with a smile of contempt, as he advanced towards them,"you recognise me, my masters, do you?
43473save myself and leave you?"
43473she cried with terror;"why burn me?"
43473she cried, joyfully,"can it be possible?"
43473she repeated, smothering him with kisses;"leave me to die in your place; ought not a mother to give her life for her child?"
43473she said with terror,"will you then become his executioner?"
43473that is pretty well played, is it not?"
43473that they may carry off your wives, steal your horses, and kill your brothers?
43473that tortures will be able to draw from us cries and complaints unworthy of us?
43473the Indian interrupted in an angry tone;"why does my white brother speak before me in an unknown tongue?
43473the captain murmured, angrily;"have my rascals allowed themselves to be surprised?"
43473the captain muttered;"What new devil''s trick have these demons invented?"
43473the doctor cried, eyeing him with an expression of terror,"you should be careful; do you know you might have killed me?"
43473the doctor replied gallantly, as he wiped his brow,"Do you not find the heat very oppressive?"
43473the doctor replied,"what do you mean by that?"
43473the mayoral murmured to himself, biting, without thinking of doing so, the end of his extinguished cigarette,"what will be the end of all this?
43473the other said, withdrawing his pipe quickly from his mouth;"and who are the Indians who have dared to steal the traps marked with my cipher?"
43473the pirate replied, with haughty irony;"what have you to ask of him?
43473the poor mother cried, rushing towards her son, whom she folded closely in her arms,"will no one come to my succour?"
43473the son of my mother is a great hunter, is he?
43473there is some use in it, then?"
43473time passes, will he never come?"
43473was I mistaken?"
43473were you there, dear child?"
43473what do you mean by that?"
43473what do you mean?"
43473what do you want with me?"
43473what fearful news are you going to communicate to me, my friend?"
43473what for?"
43473what will the general say?"
43473who knows?"
43473why did you not attack us, then?"
43473why do you not come to me as quickly as possible, instead of wasting your time like an idiot?
43473why have you come?"
43473why should I not do it?
43473you do not know?"
43473you insult me,"the young lady interrupted, drawing herself up haughtily:"what can there be in common between me and the leader of bandits?"
43473you were listening to us, Captain Waktehno, were you?"
43473you will not do so?"
43473you?"
36246A Kentucky party, did you say, sir?
36246A bit of local color? 36246 A flag of truce?
36246A mine-- gold?
36246A part of what?
36246A specimen, then?
36246A squaw man!--well, what if he is?
36246A youth? 36246 Am I still under arrest?"
36246Am I, now?
36246Am I? 36246 An''did ye not know, then, that she was not o''Kootenai stock?"
36246An''it''s to Owens ye be taken''the trail?
36246An''swallowed it as gospel?
36246An''you,he finally remarked, after listening in wonderful silence for him--"an''you''ve read it all, then?"
36246And I do n''t wonder, Alec, do you?
36246And a knife?
36246And a man needs no fine attributes or high morality to wield that sort of influence, does he?
36246And do you realize what that man did when he took that trail north?
36246And has he at last given it up as hopeless?
36246And he has gone to Fort Owens?
36246And is he from the cities?
36246And is that all you know about me?
36246And is that what cut your hands?
36246And know no other white people in this region?
36246And no other Indians?
36246And only a horse and a gun to keep you here?
36246And so you got back unharmed from the midst of the hostiles?
36246And that is the man suspected of stealing a few horses? 36246 And that is what you came for?"
36246And the fire?
36246And then what, Genesee?
36246And then?
36246And they have n''t showed up?
36246And we have got lost?
36246And we have n''t found the lost sheep?
36246And when am I to tell the folks you will come back?
36246And where is your Indian messenger of late?
36246And why so?
36246And you acknowledge, then, that you do n''t consider the cause of the whites as your own cause?
36246And you do n''t reckon you can trust me to tell me why?
36246And you have known no one in this country by the name of Stuart?
36246And you like it?
36246And you thought it was because of a marriage ceremony, not for the lack of one?
36246And you were watching to see if I would vanish into thin air like a Macbeth witch, were you?
36246And you wo n''t come?
36246And your friend is at Owens?
36246Are there any men among you that will get it out for me?
36246Are ye, now?
36246Are you afraid of softening of the brain?
36246Are you cold?
36246Are you fixed all right here in case of being snowed in?
36246Are you going to look on yourself as a martyr after the rest have left you here in solitary confinement with me as a jailer?
36246Are you jealous of Squaw- man- with- a- voice?
36246Are you not coming with us?
36246Are you trying to outrun the sun? 36246 Are you willing to follow me?"
36246Are you-- can you get someone to go for me-- from the camp?
36246Awake?
36246Bought her?
36246But I mean was there no one else here?
36246But Talapa has na gone from the hills?
36246But have n''t you a regular mail- carrier for this part of the country?
36246But if it is to save my own life?
36246But someone of their tribe does come to the Centre for mail,continued Stuart in half argument--"an Indian youth; have you never seen him?"
36246But there are two men,said Fred, finding her voice again, with a sense of relief;"which one do you mean?"
36246But what of Davy?
36246By the way, Miss Rachel, do you know if there is room in the ranch stables for another horse?
36246Can I not? 36246 Can we go straight across?"
36246Can ye hit the trail down at the forks without me along?
36246Can you?
36246Coming back?
36246Could you start at once with us, in the morning?
36246Davy MacDougall?
36246Did Captain Holt go?
36246Did I?
36246Did he?
36246Did n''t you find any?
36246Did she go out there at night, and alone, after we were all in bed?
36246Did that Indian go with her?
36246Did the mare throw you?
36246Did ye now? 36246 Did you meet with Indians?"
36246Did you say the night the horses were stolen?
36246Did you?
36246Do I look it?
36246Do n''t you ever expect to go back home?
36246Do n''t you know I''m likely to catch my death of cold tramping here after you?
36246Do n''t you like him?
36246Do n''t you think,said Tillie softly to Stuart,"that Rachel would win more glory as a missionary to the Indians than among her own race?
36246Do you call that a bed?
36246Do you come in for your share of commiseration?
36246Do you expect to live your life out here, like this?
36246Do you know the country northwest of here?
36246Do you know them very well?
36246Do you know where it is-- Hardy''s? 36246 Do you know where we are, my girl?"
36246Do you live here in the Chinook country? 36246 Do you mean the Indian boy who brought me that black bear''s skin?
36246Do you mean, is it true?
36246Do you not agree with my idea of marriages between whites and Indians?
36246Do you reckon there is any woman in the house who would speak to me if she could get out of it-- anyone except you?
36246Do you want a share of our supper?
36246Do you want to walk to the ranch?
36246Do you, Rachel?
36246Does he swear?
36246Does he? 36246 Does it belong to you?"
36246Does that state of existence impress itself so indelibly on one''s physical self?
36246Doing a bit o''prospectin'', then?
36246Engaged, is he?
36246Find any? 36246 For what purpose?"
36246Fred, my dear, you have met Mr. Genesee, our scout? 36246 From the Kootenais?
36246Genesee gone?
36246Genesee, why do n''t you let the other folks at the ranch, or the camp, know you as I do?
36246Getting supper?
36246Go where you please, only you''d better keep clear of the old gang, for I wo n''t buy you from them again-- kumtuks?
36246Gold hunting?
36246Gone!--where?
36246Had n''t you better shove in a couple more?
36246Had n''t you better wait for company, Miss?
36246Has Mowitza ever before had to carry double?
36246Has n''t she? 36246 Have I not, then?"
36246Have you come back to the Kootenai country for good?
36246Have you dared--"No, I have not told her, if that is what you mean; why-- why should I?
36246Have you ever been scared so badly you could n''t yell, Aunty?
36246He has not visited you since my arrival, has he?
36246He is-- sorry,whispered Genesee,"and talks wild-- but-- you know now?"
36246Hostile?
36246How about that saddle, now, Jim?
36246How are you?
36246How do you know he is a tenderfoot?
36246How do you know or imagine so much of what I feel?
36246How long have you been here?
36246How long have you been out here, Miss Rachel?
36246How long since you left Fort Owens?
36246How much?
36246How old are you?
36246How so?
36246How''s that for second sight?
36246How''s that, Aunty?
36246How''s that?
36246I am that-- for four weeks, if need be; but does it look like that out?
36246I came out to help you with the things,she remarked from her post in the door- way;"where are they?"
36246I do not mean to be rude, but do you mind telling me if work is a necessity to you?
36246I had never realized before that she had grown up or that she was prettier than anyone I knew, until you warned me about it-- you remember?
36246I have n''t been here since yesterday, and am afraid you did n''t find much-- any fresh meat?
36246I imagined they were traveling on foot, did n''t you?
36246I reckon you know I''m an Indian?
36246I''ve been told something of the man''s character,said Rachel,"but have forgotten his name-- Bald Eagle?"
36246I? 36246 I?
36246If I want to turn guide and drop digging in that hill back there, why should n''t I? 36246 Ill- feeling?"
36246In God''s name, Genesee, is this true?
36246In here?
36246In what tunnel was he injured?
36246Indeed,remarked Stuart, with attention impressively flattering;"may I ask how it was effected?"
36246Is Mowitza here?
36246Is he not?
36246Is he that?
36246Is it entirely Chinook they are talking? 36246 Is it those of inferior tribes that are bartered, or prisoners taken in battle?"
36246Is it you, Genesee?
36246Is it? 36246 Is it?"
36246Is n''t he? 36246 Is that all?"
36246It sounds Russian-- is it?
36246Jack Genesee, do you intend ever to come to see us-- I mean to walk in like your old self, instead of looking through the window at night?
36246Jack, you will do what I ask?
36246Jack,and her other hand was reached impulsively to his,"what''s the matter-- what makes you speak like that now?"
36246Jack?
36246Kalitan wait?
36246Killed him?
36246Klahowya, Rashell Hardy?
36246Look here,and the young fellow straightened up with the conviction that he had struck the question,"is it because of my-- marriage?"
36246Major come yet?
36246May I ask what that is for?
36246Me? 36246 Meaning that I did?"
36246Money?
36246More kind? 36246 No later news of that scout, Genesee?"
36246No-- why?
36246No? 36246 No?
36246Not much farther to go,she remarked;"wo n''t they be surprised to find you carrying me into camp like this?
36246Nothing?
36246Now I want his rifle, his knife, a snake- skin belt, and a necklace of bear''s teeth-- who''s got them?
36246Now that you have found me, are you going to leave me here all night?
36246Oh, cam''ye here the fight to shun, Or herd the sheep wi''me, man?
36246Oh, he has?
36246Oh, he told you, did he?
36246Oh, it is Kalitan, is it? 36246 Oh, you come to me now, do you?"
36246Oh, you do?
36246Oh, you want too much,she answered briskly;"I am content to sit up all night, if I only can find a dry place to stay in-- do you hear that?"
36246Perhaps I felt so; is that weakness an added cause for trying to bar me out from the Kootenai hills?
36246Rashell Hardy?
36246Rashell Hardy?
36246Rashell Hardy?
36246Rather late to be out alone, Miss, ai n''t it?
36246Say, Miss Rache, yer given''me a straight tip on this lay- out?
36246Say, Miss Rachel,broke in Jim,"was Kalitan a Kootenai Injun?"
36246Say, did you get any letters for me?
36246Say,he added uneasily,"have you any money?"
36246Shall I go there at once, or pour your coffee first?
36246She does n''t approve of our savage mode of life, does she?
36246Slaves?
36246So am I,acknowledged her confederate;"you an''me is most alike about our eatin'', ai n''t we?
36246So you are going?
36246So you come this time to lay out proposals to me, eh? 36246 So you''re one of the party I''m to look after on this cultus corrie?"
36246Tell Jack Genesee,she said, turning to him in complete negligence of arguments just used,"that Rachel Hardy sends to him greetings-- you understand?
36246That in Chinook means the deer, does it not-- or the elk; which is it? 36246 That is the Indian you spoke of this morning, is it not?"
36246That so?
36246That''s so,said Genesee, with brief sympathy;"big gang?"
36246The Arrow fly down; come back how soon?
36246The Arrow? 36246 The Kootenais?
36246The guard will not leave the door?
36246The lass-- Rachel? 36246 The last from Grey Eagle or yourself?"
36246The same thing that took you from camp at three yesterday and kept you out all night?
36246Then why do they do it, if they are ashamed of it?
36246Then why do you always seem to be skirmishing around for work?
36246Then you refuse to tell me where you spent the night?
36246Then, lass, ye''ll ne''er tak''leave o''the Kootenai hills?
36246Then, since you can tell this much in his favor, can you tell why he himself refused to answer so simple a question?
36246Therefore,reasoned this feminine watcher,"it is seldom that we see him as he really is; query-- why?"
36246This morning? 36246 Though he is younger than yourself?"
36246To know you''re right?
36246To me? 36246 Up into this country?"
36246Was n''t she?
36246Was this Genesee of another tribe?
36246Well, are you going to escort me home, or must I go alone?
36246Well, did you find any white men among the Kootenais?
36246Well, is it time to be moving?
36246Well, there is n''t anything more to say, is there?
36246Well, what then? 36246 Well, who knows but that I may develop into a worker; is industry contagious here?"
36246Well, why not?
36246Well,he said sharply;"what have you brought me?"
36246Well--and Rachel glanced over at her, noting that she looked both amused and hesitating--"well, what is it?"
36246Well?
36246Well?
36246Were they friendly?
36246Were you so much alarmed?
36246What are you going to do here, Davy MacDougall?
36246What brought you out to the stable?
36246What day do they look for your father back?
36246What did they do to you?
36246What did you find to cook?
36246What did you have it made for?
36246What difference does it make whether the man''s wife has been red, or white, or black, so long as she suited him? 36246 What difference whether an act is deliberate or careless, so long as the effect is evil?
36246What do ye mean by that, lass?
36246What do you call a torch in Chinook?
36246What do you call it?
36246What do you know about it?
36246What do you mean? 36246 What else could you do?"
36246What have you been doing with the man?
36246What is it? 36246 What is it?"
36246What is it?
36246What is the matter back there?
36246What is the matter with the man?
36246What is the white thing moving along that line of timber?
36246What made you ask that?
36246What matter about the hour, Miss Rachel?
36246What of Nard Stevens?
36246What possessed you to go to- day, Rachel?
36246What territory is that?
36246What was that you said?
36246What would you suggest as an improvement on their simplicity?
36246What''s the matter with everyone this morning?
36246What''s the matter with that?
36246What''s this?
36246What''s up? 36246 What''s up?"
36246What, then?
36246What? 36246 What?"
36246What?
36246When did she leave?
36246When may we look for you back?
36246When you brought him his horse?
36246Where has Mr. Hardy gone?
36246Where would you have slept?
36246Where''s his blanket?
36246Where''s your gallantry, MacDougall?
36246Where, Kalitan?
36246Where?
36246Where?
36246Whereabouts?
36246Which trail did she take?
36246Who do you want?
36246Who is it?
36246Who told you this?
36246Who''d be paying the post?
36246Why did n''t you come home?
36246Why did n''t you stay at home, as I told you to?
36246Why myself more than another?
36246Why not now?
36246Why should he be? 36246 Why, how far is it?"
36246Why, it is n''t cold-- are you? 36246 Why, look here, old fellow, what''s up?"
36246Why, papa,broke in his commanding officer,"you are not going to turn scout or runner, are you, and leave me behind?
36246Why, this same Arrow is called Kalitan,broke in Jim;"an''what''d you make out of that?
36246Why-- why did she not write to me?
36246Will I do, Jack?
36246Will it be of use?
36246Will that matter much to the company or the command?
36246With you?
36246Wo n''t sending him up among the Indians do just as well?
36246Worse? 36246 Worse?
36246Would you eat nothing because it was mine?
36246Ye dinna like him, then?
36246Ye have, have yeh?
36246Yes, a big jar full,reported the steward;"an''here is a little crock half full of eggs-- prairie- chicken, I guess-- say, can you make a pone?"
36246Yes, but when Rache and I have gone back to civilization?
36246Yes, ca n''t you see?
36246Yes, it was in the night,answered the Captain,"about two o''clock; but you surely knew about it?"
36246Yes? 36246 Yes?"
36246Yes?
36246Yes?
36246Yet he is a horse- thief,she said, in that tone of depreciation that expresses praise,"and he sent me his glove?
36246You are Annie''s boy?
36246You are doing this for me,he said, drawing her to him,"without knowing whether I deserve shooting or not?"
36246You are such old friends, then?
36246You did?
36246You have a great deal of impatience with anyone who is not a worker, have n''t you?
36246You have a hard time of it with me, have n''t you, dear? 36246 You have read and measured it, have n''t you?"
36246You have seen Kalitan?
36246You know nothing of the country in that direction?
36246You mean that you two have been getting supper alone?
36246You think I''m a bit loony, do n''t you, Davy MacDougall? 36246 You took his wife from him?"
36246You two are old neighbors, are you not?
36246You''re just about the same place where you watched the sun come up once-- may be you remember?
36246Young Indian?
36246Young or old?
36246Your cause?
36246A blessin'', say you, Miss?
36246A half- breed?"
36246A touch of remorse even led her to lay a couple of fingers on the sleeve of his coat, to remind him of her presence as she repeated:"And then?"
36246Again and again Genesee''s eyes seemed to say,"Can it be you?"
36246An''so they''re flittin''to the Reservation to live off the Government?
36246An''ye come from Holland''s without a guide?
36246And how many do they marry?"
36246And how shy you were, and how secret-- was it not delightful?
36246And is that a brother-- the lad there?
36246And may I ask who he is, this white man with the Indian name-- what is he?"
36246And now may be you''ll just tell me whose horse I stole?"
36246And pray what it is that-- a chief rich in lineage and blooded stock?
36246And she-- she allows them to call her so?"
36246And the prisoner?
36246And then, after he had gone from her, could it be so?
36246And think, after all these years, that I''m to be talked over to what you want by a few soft words?
36246And this girl-- it is someone you-- love?"
36246And was the half- breed girl one of the few timid ones?
36246And we owe it to him that we see you here alive again?
36246And what did you do?"
36246Are you afraid of fighting?"
36246Are you going to, papa?"
36246Are you going with us on foot?"
36246Are you going?"
36246Are you not getting a little mixed, Professor?"
36246But do you understand that it is as hard sometimes to be thought too highly of as to be accused wrong- fully?
36246But does n''t it seem strange to think of Mr. Stuart being married?
36246But it''s comin''down solid,"he gasped;"where are you?"
36246But the cause of it?
36246But was he quite uncouth?
36246But what''s the argument?"
36246But where?
36246By the way, Clara, who prompted you to this lecture-- Hen?"
36246By the way, I suppose you do n''t care to add Professor of Languages to your other titles, do you, Mr. Jack Genesee?"
36246By the way, I wonder if it is Mrs. Stuart?
36246Ca n''t you see out?"
36246Can I?
36246Can I?"
36246Can you give me a bottle of brandy and some biscuits?"
36246Can you make a dash for it and get away?"
36246Can you mind that?
36246Come, are you ready?"
36246Could he sing?
36246Could you give me space to live in for a while, without my being a nuisance to the establishment?"
36246Davy MacDougall, did you bring me nothing at all as a relic of your trip?
36246Death brings back the curves of youth to aged faces sometimes-- is it the only change that does so?
36246Did he stop to ask if I was entirely a proper sort of person before he started to hunt for me that time in the Kootenai hills?"
36246Did he tell you and Jim that she was his wife?"
36246Did he, for an instant, mistake it for another hand that had slipped into his that one night?
36246Did you catch me?"
36246Did you ever hear folks about here speak of old Davy MacDougall?"
36246Did you meet them?"
36246Did you say you had some biscuits?
36246Did you see the bear?"
36246Do you folks go to bed with the sun?
36246Do you hear?
36246Do you know he is very rich?"
36246Do you know there''s a big lot of meaning in those words, Miss, especially to a man who has n''t known what home meant for years?
36246Do you know what it is to absorb the elastic breath of the mountains at the awakening of day?
36246Do you mean that you think of-- of me like that-- tell me?"
36246Do you see?"
36246Do you suppose I have no natural curiosity as to how we are to get there, and when?
36246Do you think you would care for a closer acquaintance?"
36246Does living in the woods make people feel like monarchs of all they survey?
36246Does that seem strange?
36246Does your neighbor ever have any better manners, Rachel?"
36246For heaven''s sake, what have you been doing?"
36246Genesee?"
36246Genesee?"
36246Genesee?"
36246Genesee?"
36246Going?"
36246Gramachree, Mavourneen; oh, wo n''t you marry me?"
36246Had her instincts then told her truly when she had connected his presence with the memory of that older man''s sombre eyes and dogged exile?
36246Had the other died, or was it only asleep?
36246Had there ever been any of their music published?
36246Had they any?
36246Had they possessed any to begin with?
36246Hardy promised; and Kalitan presented himself, with the usual interrogation:"Rashell Hardy?"
36246Has she been here?"
36246Have you any matches?"
36246Have you any report to make?"
36246Have you heard this?
36246He did not answer at once, and Captain Holt spoke again:"What is the object of digging up that Indian?"
36246He did not answer at once-- was he trying to remember that also?
36246He took to hanging around Scot''s Mountain more than of old, with the query,"Maybe Genesee send lettah-- s''pose?
36246He was talking soberly, if rather brusquely; but-- that strange look in his face at first?
36246He would do all right for the poet- prince-- or was it a king?
36246Help me up, will you?
36246How about your chief of scouts-- is he asleep, too?"
36246How am I as a guesser?"
36246How dare you?"
36246How dared you-- how dared you do it?"
36246How did it happen?"
36246How do you expect to live always in this out- of- the- way place?"
36246How does it pan out in the balance with half- breeds?"
36246How often is it brought to the ranch?"
36246How would they listen to this story?
36246How''s that as a trade for six months''work?
36246Hunting good?"
36246I felt so ashamed I cried, and yet I knew I was right all the time-- now what are you laughing at?"
36246I guess everyone seems a different person with different people; but you wanted to tell me something of yourself, did n''t you?"
36246I know it''s rather late, but if he is awake, it does n''t matter, I suppose; or is no one allowed to see him?"
36246I only ask one thing-- you will not, unless it is the last means of saving your own life, turn one of these against my friends?"
36246I wo n''t stand in your way much longer; wait till I come back--""You are coming back?
36246I wonder if these Chinook winds have a tendency to softening of the brain-- have they, Hen?
36246I would n''t take a man from the place, so--""What about a woman?"
36246I-- I-- suppose so; but how are you to get there?"
36246If they had so many kind words now, why had they not found some for him when he needed them?
36246If you see him, will you send him to the house?"
36246Is Jim the usual mail- carrier?"
36246Is breakfast all ready?
36246Is it any wonder I rebel?"
36246Is it hard to learn?"
36246Is n''t it beautiful?"
36246Is she not a picture?
36246Is that it?"
36246Is that message much to remember?"
36246Is that the effect we are supposed to have on the character of our lords and masters?"
36246Is the manuscript on the table in your room?
36246Is there any?"
36246Is your name Jack Genesee?"
36246It''ll be the''divarsion''you were suggesting a little while back; and if Mr. Hardy wants a guide, give me a recommend, ca n''t you?"
36246Jack?"
36246Jim looked at him with surprised eyes, and managed to stammer,"How are you?"
36246Jim, how far do you suppose we are from home?"
36246Just keep quiet and let me get to bed, will you?"
36246Kalitan, will ye be building up that fire a bit?
36246Klat- awah si- ah-- do you understand?"
36246Laugh though the world may at the vibrations of poet hearts echoing the songs of the youngest of seasons, how can they help it?
36246Live in the cabin if you want; only get out in the spring-- do you hear?
36246May I expect to be presented to his interesting family to- morrow, Rachel?"
36246Might it not have been only that?
36246Mr. Jack,"she said easily;"got wet, did n''t you?
36246No?
36246None of the men sighted them?"
36246Now, can you do that?"
36246Now, have you any pressing reason for loafing down here any longer?
36246Now, hearken to that-- will you?"
36246Now, what are you going to do about it?"
36246Now, why do n''t you say,''Just as you like, Miss?''
36246Of what use were words, if he should never come back-- never know that he was cleared of suspicion?
36246Only by Rachel saying,"He is my friend; will you not listen?"
36246Past chuck?"
36246Rachel answered him then brusquely:"You saw a white man with the Kootenais, did you not-- one who lives as they do, with a squaw wife, or slave?
36246Say, Tillie, did we look altogether ridiculous?"
36246Say, suppose you hustle Aunty up about that supper, wo n''t you?
36246Say, was it that Injun cook o''his you was afeared to eat after?"
36246She felt the hand on her shoulder trembling; was it with her weight-- and he so strong?
36246She said it so deliberately that he could not but feel some special thing was meant, and asked quickly:"What?"
36246She scarcely knew what to say, and yet could give no sensible reason for such embarrassment; and then--"The lad-- what lad?"
36246She wondered if it was Genesee the girl was hiding from, and if so, why?
36246Sit you down close that I can see ye-- a sight good for sore een; an''I have no heard o''ye?
36246Sleep well?"
36246So you have a bit of natural, womanly weakness?"
36246Sometimes he would say:"S''pose you hear where Genesee is-- may be?"
36246Stickin''to that old trail was a pay streak-- hey?"
36246Stuart?"
36246That torch ready?"
36246That''s enough said, is n''t it?
36246The action recalled him to the immediate practical things, and he said:"Think I can stay all night here?"
36246The clouds were comin''up heavy, she said, and she must get home before the snow fell; an''it snows now?"
36246The hope?
36246The silence was so long that Stuart himself was the first to lift his eyes to those opposite, and tried to say carelessly:"Well?"
36246The slow, half- bitter words impelled her to continue:"Then you-- you heard the-- the conversation over there?"
36246The story?
36246The voice had an insinuating tone, as if it would express"will you stop it?"
36246The whites here blame you for helping the trouble-- the beginning it, the--""You mean the horse stealing?"
36246Then Kalitan wo n''t be over?"
36246Then she fell to wondering about that half- breed girl who had hid back of the ponies; was it Genesee she was afraid of, and if so, why?
36246There is only one more hill to cross until we reach camp-- is there not?"
36246They knew, or believed, that here was the one man who had the power to save them, if he cared to use it; but would he?
36246This is-- my-- my--"Did he say wife?
36246To feel the cool crispness of the heights, tempered by the soft"Chinook"winds?
36246To stand far above the levels and watch the faint amethystine peaks catch one by one their cap of gold flung to them from an invisible sun?
36246WHAT IS A SQUAW MAN?
36246Want him?"
36246Was he asleep, or only resting?
36246Was he asleep?
36246Was he then to come back and again drop his life into its old lines?
36246Was he thinking as she was of that ride and its revelations?
36246Was he watching them, too?
36246Was it an omen of good?
36246Was it for that he was still singing?
36246Was it really an understanding of him?
36246Was it so in this case?
36246Was she trying to fathom his meditations, or determine how far they were to affect her own future?
36246Was their guide one of those heroes of the border whose face is a thing of terror to Indian foe?
36246Was there a sort of fate that had set her apart for this sort of thing?
36246We do n''t like cooking our own grub, do we, Mowitza?
36246We''ll both be down at your camp by sun- up to- morrow; will that do?"
36246What about that transfer?"
36246What are you doing here?"
36246What did you do with the horses, Jim?"
36246What do you intend doing with your share?"
36246What do you think of that?"
36246What has he done?"
36246What have you to say for yourself?"
36246What is it Kalitan?"
36246What is it you are talking about?
36246What is it?
36246What is it?"
36246What is it?"
36246What is the quotation, to begin with?"
36246What matter the sort of person one has been, or the life one has lived if he come out of it with knowledge and the wish to use it well?
36246What right had he for such a wish?
36246What right had he to let go of himself as he had done, and show her how his life was bound up in hers?
36246What sister could ever yet see the reason for a sister- in- law''s blind adoration?
36246What time this morning?"
36246What was it you shot this time, Alec-- a pole- cat or a flying- squirrel?
36246What was it?
36246What was that verse about-- giving back the pledge when-- the sun goes down?
36246What was there left for the man to say?
36246Whatever the cause of that quick attention, she noticed it, and added:"Well, Mr. Genesee, do n''t you think so?
36246When you''re owned by a whole regiment, it''s so hard to gather up any dignity, or keep it if you do get hold of it; do n''t you think so?"
36246Where are they?"
36246Where are you bound for?"
36246Where was all that glory of the east at sunrise which those two had once watched from a mountain not far from this?
36246Who is your friend?"
36246Who taught you them?"
36246Who was the man?"
36246Who''s in command?"
36246Why did n''t you come?"
36246Why did n''t you tell me?"
36246Why did you not?"
36246Why should I not tell them you brought me?"
36246Why wo n''t you come in the house?"
36246Why, you are begging on a full hand, Mister; and what are you begging to?
36246Why?"
36246Why?"
36246Will the Arrow carry a message as it flies?"
36246Will ye no''light an''have a crack at a pipe an''a glass?"
36246Will you help me, please?"
36246Will you not come to me?
36246Would he meet her again with that queer, distant manner of his?
36246Would it fall?
36246Would it stay where it was?
36246Would n''t you love to read it?"
36246Would they grant him a hearing now?
36246Yes, I suppose so-- yet,''a woman whom I cared for, and who was lost-- long ago!''--Lost?
36246Yes, you did, Mr. Stuart-- didn''t he, Mrs. Hardy?
36246You are unjust-- don''t I know?"
36246ai n''t it?"
36246and where are you going?"
36246asked Talapa sullenly, her back against the wall as if in a position to show fight; that is, she said"Pe- kah- ta?"
36246asked a deep, rather musical voice from the cabin door;"and your national love for the''winsome sex,''as I''ve heard you call it?
36246but, for the benefit of the civilized reader, the ordinary English is given--"And why so?"
36246could she carry double?"
36246he returned; and having regained the use of his tongue, he added, in an easier way:"You''ll excuse me, lady, if I sort of scared you?"
36246he said, with a good deal of relief in his manner;"were you the scarecrow?
36246laughed the older woman;"one would think you were married yesterday and the honeymoon only begun, would you not, Alec?
36246lost?"
36246or for what?
36246or would they shoot him down, as the soldier had shot Snowcap, with his message undelivered?
36246said Jim, taking a peep at it;"it''s gettin''as brown as-- as your hair; an''them berries is done, an''ai n''t it time to put in the coffee?"
36246said his sister, commiseratingly;"to think of her being exiled in that park, twenty miles from a white woman!--didn''t you say it was twenty?"
36246she asked in a clearer, more matter- of- fact way, as she propped herself up on his outstretched arm;"and did you come alone to find me?"
36246she asked, drawing her chair close beside him and glancing comprehensively about the cabin;"weather- board it up for winter?"
36246she asked;"giving him some potion brewed by an Indian witch?
36246she called sharply;"when was it the stock was run off from camp-- what time?"
36246she growled, quoting MacDougall;"what does the fellow mean by shouting like that this time of the night?
36246she persisted;"is he a sort of Mormon, then-- an Indian Mormon?
36246she repeated;"have you heard any word of him?"
36246she said, in a maze of conflicting revelations; and Jack looked at Stuart, as she added,"and who were you?"
36246she said;"she did not have such a load when she came over this road before; it was the day after you joined us, do you remember?"
36246that is it?
36246then you have n''t much faith in a tenderfoot getting through the hostiles or snow- banks?"
36246what proof have you that will weigh against courage like that?"
36246what''s that?"
36246who''s that?"
36246wo n''t you marry me?
39238''And what has he done it for?'' 39238 ''Is_ that_ all?''
39238''Who?'' 39238 A Negro woman?"
39238A contest on Orlean''s place? 39238 A sense of humor?"
39238A son?
39238A sort of cabaret?
39238A suit-- want to obtain a judgment?
39238A-- ah-- how are you?
39238Ah-- ha-- who-- who-- who is th- is?
39238Ai n''t I done outlined it right?
39238And I venture to say that you have just about raised yourself?
39238And did you wonder at my calling your name that night?
39238And for that, for all that I have sacrificed, what am I given? 39238 And how about the women?
39238And how are the crops?
39238And how did you come to meet him, daughter?
39238And how is Orlean?
39238And how is everybody?
39238And how is everything about the home, my son?
39238And how long have you been here?
39238And how''s hubby?
39238And is it not a fact that Mrs. Pruitt as well as your daughter, explained it all at the time with satisfaction to you?
39238And last summer you recall how it rained?
39238And my plans are that you go over there, and see her?
39238And she paid for it out of her own money?
39238And since you have asked me, may I explain?
39238And so you are sued for ten thousand dollars,said the attorney,"and by your son- in- law?"
39238And the name?
39238And the rest of the family?
39238And then, forsooth, it must have been your daughter''s husband who was instrumental in saving the place for her?
39238And what did I do to him?
39238And what do you mean? 39238 And what do you think of him, my dear?"
39238And what followed?
39238And when you arrived you found her dead near the door, while your father lay murdered in the bed?
39238And when you arrived, what happened? 39238 And when_ did_ you receive my letter?
39238And where is my friend, Baptiste?
39238And you are not worth ten thousand?
39238And you can not possibly wait until next week?
39238And you could not pay it?
39238And you have me here and are caring for me?
39238And you would like to see this Jean Baptiste?
39238And you-- you have noticed it yourself?
39238And you?
39238And you?
39238And yours?
39238And, why, mama, do the preachers have no time for little boys? 39238 And-- ah, would it be possible for me to see and consult with him?"
39238And-- and-- you have no more to report?
39238And-- can''t you understand it, either?
39238And-- you-- you-- have just come?
39238Another beer, Cap''n?
39238Any coal?
39238Any evidence of a struggle?
39238Anything else?
39238Are n''t you coming down to supper, Orlean?
39238Because what, dear?
39238But I do n''t see the joke?
39238But I have guessed correctly, have n''t I?
39238But how came you with money? 39238 But how could you have missed the train so often?"
39238But is that the fault of protestantism?
39238But it was-- er, rather-- a little irregular, was it not? 39238 But we do n''t understand?"
39238But what-- what became of their mother?
39238But why did n''t you explain that Bill could stay home?
39238But you are going away, dear, and will surely need money?
39238But you did n''t come from there today-- this afternoon? 39238 But you have n''t answered my question?"
39238But you''re engaged?
39238But you_ did n''t_ see him come out of the house?
39238But, Agnes, how came you here? 39238 But, mama, why?"
39238But-- Agnes,_ why_?
39238But-- but-- why-- for_ me_?
39238By the way, Jean, why do n''t you marry my sister?
39238Ca n''t you loan the old man the money?
39238Can your father not understand, Orlean,he complained, with a deep frown,"that I can not accept his charity?
39238Come to what?
39238Could n''t dissuade him, eh?
39238Did he give reasons?
39238Did he say I could get up soon?
39238Did he?
39238Did it last until after you had left your bed?
39238Did n''t I say hush? 39238 Did you crawl through all that storm?"
39238Did you ever know a Negro preacher that was worth such an amount?
39238Did you exchange any words with him when you met him? 39238 Did you have any conversation with Baptiste after the trial in which he sued your father- in- law?"
39238Did you hear how he abused your father?
39238Did you hear me, Aggie?
39238Did you hear that, daughter?
39238Did you hear the news?
39238Did you love the man you were engaged to?
39238Did you understand the words or any words he muttered?
39238Do I look all right, mama?
39238Do I think so?
39238Do n''t they?
39238Do n''t what?
39238Do n''t you know that I have longed to see you, and that it has not been just right that I could not?
39238Do you believe these statements?
39238Do you happen to be acquainted with a family here by the name of McCarthy?
39238Do you love me, Orlean?
39238Do you recall it?
39238Do you recall the day when I forgot, dear,_ The Custom of the Country-- and its law_?
39238Do you recall, Mrs. Glavis, whether she screamed long, or whether it was brief?
39238Do you reckon your father understood the love that was between us?
39238Do you recognize my voice?
39238Do you think so?
39238Ever heard of State Street?
39238Expression?
39238For me?
39238From your father, you mean?
39238Granting that he secured a judgment?
39238Has a doctor been here?
39238Has she told you what I have been doing to her?
39238Has some one come between you?
39238Have I spoken rightly?
39238Have I, now, really?
39238Have truly forgotten that you are_ an Ethiopian_, and_ must share_ what is Ethiopia''s?
39238Have you ever considered the outcome in case he should get a judgment against you? 39238 Have you heard the rest of it?"
39238Have you rented your place yet?
39238Have you tried elsewhere, father?
39238He farms with his parents?
39238He was?
39238Her? 39238 His grandmother?
39238How are you, anyhow?
39238How could I forget it?
39238How did they come to extend the note, father?
39238How did you come to discover it, lady?
39238How did you come to get kicked, Jean?
39238How did_ you_ know it had just been committed?
39238How do you account for him having done so-- if so?
39238How do you feel? 39238 How do you like it in our country?"
39238How do you like it?
39238How is everything back home?
39238How is she?
39238How is that-- did you say that you_ drank_?
39238How long after Baptiste left was it, before you followed?
39238How long after the door slammed was it before your husband came?
39238How long after you heard her scream was it before you came out of the room-- your room?
39238How many of them?
39238How shall we explain in regards to Bill?...
39238How so?
39238How so?
39238How''s Doc?
39238How''s that?
39238How''s your neighbors across the road? 39238 How-- what kind of animal is it?"
39238Hurt?
39238I ask what you are doing at my house?
39238I can not understand?
39238I do n''t quite understand?
39238I have never lied to you, have I?
39238I have?
39238I think you have met him, have you not?
39238I wonder what he is doing here?
39238I wonder what he''s been saying to Orlean?
39238If it is quite fair, may I ask where or how your father came by such a name?
39238In New York?
39238In fact she was screaming still when you arrived at the door of the room, no doubt?
39238In what position, Orlean?
39238Is Miss Irene at home?
39238Is it not possible that when you heard the door slam, that it was your husband coming in?
39238Is it so, Jean? 39238 Is it-- it-- a_ woman_?"
39238Is it_ you_?
39238Is n''t it beautiful, Agnes? 39238 Is n''t it the truth, oh, my God, how can those people be so mean?"
39238Is n''t it warm tonight?
39238Is that all she received?
39238Is that so?
39238Is that so?
39238Is this the Greys home?
39238Is this you?
39238Is_ that all_ you saw?
39238Is_ this_ a fact?
39238It is not so?
39238It was not you?
39238Jean?
39238M- m. Was that the first time you had seen him?
39238M- m. You say this was your daughter''s place entirely?
39238M- m."How much do you plan seeding this season?
39238M- m."How old is he-- a young man?
39238M- m?
39238May I consult with your wife?
39238May I take your hat?
39238McCarthy?
39238Me?
39238Me?
39238Meaning that since she had gone and taken the land, you were morally bound to look into and consider the matter favorably?
39238Mother?
39238My folks?
39238My wheat?
39238Now I wish you would explain how you could be at fault for this contest upon your place, and why your husband accuses you of such?
39238Now Mrs. Glavis, do you recall having ever heard your sister scream before in a like manner?
39238Now there must be something?
39238Now where is your sister- in- law?
39238Now, look here, Reverend McCarthy,he said and his tone revealed his feelings,"what kind of a''stunt''are you pulling off with my wife?"
39238Now, young man,his mother said to him the following morning,"you will get into clean clothes and stay clean, do you understand?"
39238Now_ who_ do you reckon it was that interceded for me?
39238Of course not, now that I recall it; but did you tell him about it?
39238Of what?
39238Oh, Pearl.... How is Pearl?
39238Oh, baching? 39238 Oh, do you think so?"
39238Oh, is that so?
39238Oh, is that so?
39238Our race?
39238Out here, you mean?
39238Out where?
39238Papa,she said in her usual, but sleepy- like voice,"Is that you?"
39238Play you a game of Casino?
39238Say, Brookings,he opened,"what kind of deal is the old Scotchman up against out there?
39238See who?
39238Shall I hire a lawyer, Jean? 39238 So I do n''t guess I have it?"
39238So it came that you sacrificed the real love to be loyal to the race we belong to?
39238So that is how you came here?
39238So you serve drinks here, then?
39238So?
39238So?
39238So?
39238So?
39238Still single...."Thought she was engaged to be married when I was here last year?
39238That would please me if you would condescend?
39238The Watson place? 39238 The doctor, eh?"
39238The joke?
39238The wind?
39238Then how? 39238 Then we can contest it?"
39238Then what about their half brother in East St. Louis, eh? 39238 Then why do n''t you come on out here?"
39238Then why not you and I get together on this proposition before the trial is called?
39238Then you will?
39238Then, how can you expect their followers to be?
39238Then, when, Agnes?
39238Then_ what_?
39238Thinking? 39238 This is-- er-- rather unusual, do n''t you think?"
39238This physician attended the girl while she was confined?
39238Until you had left the room you were in?
39238Was Baptiste aware that such a knife was in the room?
39238Was it providence, or was it God that brought you that night and saved me from the slow death that was coming over me, Agnes?
39238Was it_ I_ who brought all this?
39238We have just become acquainted, but papa has told me of her, and the family, and I''m sure we will be the best of friends, wo n''t we?
39238Well, Jean,she said now more soberly,"just what shall I do?"
39238Well, are they as a whole?
39238Well, dear? 39238 Well, how''s Chicago?"
39238Well, how''s everything over home?
39238Well, now, coming to think of it, it would, would n''t it?
39238Well, now, to be frank, Duval,said Crook,"What do you think of it anyhow?"
39238Well, the house where he stops is just a few doors-- about a half dozen-- up the street--"On the same side or the opposite?
39238Well, what did they say?
39238Well?
39238Well?
39238Well?
39238Well?
39238Well?
39238Were those your folks I seen driving into town a while ago?
39238Wh-- at a-- re yo-- u do- i- ng a-- t m- y h- o- u- s- e?
39238What are you doing in here?
39238What are you talking about?
39238What are your plans, Jean?
39238What did he say to it?
39238What did he seem to think of it?
39238What did you do with your little wife?
39238What did you tell her?
39238What do you mean?
39238What do you think of it?
39238What do you think of protestantism?
39238What has been the matter with my little girl?
39238What have you been doing to my child?
39238What have you discovered?
39238What is it, dear?
39238What is it, dear?
39238What is singular?
39238What is the matter, Glavis?
39238What is the matter, Jean?
39238What is the matter?
39238What is there to understand about this wilderness?
39238What is this place?
39238What is this?
39238What kind of weeds are those?
39238What was the conversation?
39238What was the matter?
39238What ways, please?
39238What''ll you do with your horses?
39238What''s he calling to see Orlean for?
39238What''s her name-- this Negress? 39238 What''s the matter with lots of these nigga''men''round Chicago?
39238What''s the matter, Mother Mary?
39238What''s the matter, dear?
39238What''s the matter?
39238What, papa?
39238What-- what is the matter with him, Glavis? 39238 What-- why-- what''s the matter?"
39238What?
39238When did you discover this, madam?
39238When did you leave home?
39238When do they look for the Reverend in?
39238When you happen to think of it; will you try never to allow yourself to resume that expression--_that_ expression again?
39238When you left the hotel, where did you go?
39238When, to your knowledge, was Baptiste last in the house?
39238When?
39238Where am I?
39238Where are you?
39238Where did you meet him?
39238Where do you live?
39238Where had you been, and what time did you return home?
39238Where is Orlean?
39238Where is Orlean?
39238Where is he?
39238Where is my husband?
39238Where is the family and how many are there of you?
39238Where is your father today?
39238Where were they murdered?
39238Where would you like to go?
39238Where''s the governor?
39238Where?
39238Which way do you live from town?
39238Whiskey?
39238Who are you?
39238Who are you?
39238Who bought your daughter''s place, my dear Elder? 39238 Who else?"
39238Who has been murdered, and why am I accused?
39238Who holds the place, did you say?
39238Who is it out there?
39238Who? 39238 Why are you laughing?"
39238Why does he never ride in the daytime?
39238Why have_ you_ waited so long to take such action, Glavis? 39238 Why is it so?"
39238Why is it, dear?
39238Why must this be so?
39238Why not just go to one?
39238Why not, Orlean?
39238Why should I have done so when I did n''t feel to?
39238Why should it please you?
39238Why should n''t I? 39238 Why so?
39238Why so?
39238Why will he partake of the fuel he brought to keep from freezing, then?
39238Why would you want to do that?
39238Why would_ you_ want to see him?
39238Why, Orlean, what has come over you?
39238Why, my child, this-- this is rather sudden, is it not? 39238 Why, really-- when?"
39238Why,he suddenly exclaimed, his eyes widening,"what is the matter?"
39238Why-- Jean-- the man is-- drunk, is he not?
39238Why-- what''s the matter?
39238Why-- you have met my daughter?
39238Why?
39238Will Agnes tell me what has kept her so busy and away, I know not where?
39238Will they not leave one?
39238Will you kindly state to the court just what you overheard and know regarding this affair?
39238With what were they murdered?
39238Wo n''t you tell it to_ me_?
39238Wo n''t you tell me what the matter is, mother?
39238Won''t-- ah-- won''t you be seated?
39238Wonder why he does n''t marry?
39238Would n''t that be all right?
39238Would n''t you like to go to town, papa?
39238Would you care for it?
39238Would you like to walk down by the river?
39238Yes, what do you think of that?
39238Yes?
39238Yes?
39238Yes?
39238Yes?
39238Yesterday?
39238You admit to this, then, my dear Reverend?
39238You are going back home with me tomorrow, dear?
39238You are_ honestly_ happy, dear?
39238You did n''t?
39238You discovered this tragedy, madam?
39238You do n''t live here?
39238You have money?
39238You have not traveled far?
39238You have?
39238You have?
39238You infer that I have forgotten my troubles?
39238You mean, I--"Yes,she said slowly,"you-- we understand each other and everything that has concerned each other, do n''t we, Jean?"
39238You mean,she said, straightening curiously,"that you loved an Indian up there?
39238You met him coming out of the house upon your arrival?
39238You refer to me?
39238You refer to that case on Vernon Avenue, madam?
39238You saw this Baptiste leave the hotel?
39238You say you saw him going north of town?
39238You say, madame, that after you heard your sister scream you rushed from your room and to where she was?
39238You think so?
39238You want to do what?
39238You will awaken me early tomorrow-- say, six o''clock?
39238You will go back with me, and be mine, all mine and love me forever?
39238You will grant that the individual in the controversy would likely be able to judge more correctly with regard to values?
39238You will not go back today-- rather tonight?
39238You''ve agreed to forget it, father...."I agree again; but it''s outrageous that he should say what he did about Jean Baptiste, now is n''t it?
39238You? 39238 You_ think_ so?"
39238You_ think_ you heard a door slam? 39238 Your mother is dead?"
39238Your wife, perhaps?
39238_ Agnes!_"Well,_ why_ not?
39238_ Call this same number in about ten minutes, understand?_ Yes. 39238 _ Me?_""But I waited for your letter.
39238_ Perhaps_ fifteen minutes; but you are not positive?
39238_ Why would I want to do that?_ Humph! 39238 ''I just could n''t live out there in that wilderness, it was too lonesome,''''Oh, Orlean,''I said disgustingly,''do you expect me to believe that? 39238 ''What''s the rip? 39238 ''Who''re those girls living near the church?'' 39238 ''Why do you live apart from him, the man you married? 39238 *****What is this?"
39238A white man or a Negro?
39238After what Orlean said?
39238Am I speaking correctly?"
39238And how are you today?"
39238And how do you happen to be down here in the spring?"
39238And if even I believed you, how could I respect you?''
39238And it is not too much if one takes into consideration what you have done for-- I''ll be glad to go....""Done for what?"
39238And now that she was away, to his mind first came the question,_ why_ was she away?
39238And say, Brother McCarthy, what is this I read in the paper about your son- in- law coming in here and suing you for breaking up Orlean and he?"
39238And what did_ you see_ when you came out?"
39238And what do you think she had the nerve to say to me?
39238And where may I see you-- say, tomorrow?"
39238And yet, why was his wife in Chicago without even a letter from her to him; or one from him to her?
39238And-- when will that be?"
39238Another fence: who would furnish that two hundred and fifty dollars and secure him for the remainder?
39238Any knowledge of what kind of bill was rendered by him?"
39238Are the winters here as a rule as cold as this one has been?"
39238Are you here on-- on your_ wedding trip_?"
39238Are you in love with this man?"
39238At where I board?"
39238Baptiste?"
39238Baptiste?"
39238Baptiste?"
39238Baptiste?"
39238Besides, how did you know it?
39238Besides, what would he do with the books when he had them?
39238Besides,''I went on,''Why?''
39238Bill, however, not the least perturbed over his apparent breach of impropriety, became reseated, and resumed:"Well?"
39238Blanche''s mother?"
39238But Jean, do you want me to?"
39238But did that stop her mouth?
39238But did the Reverend?
39238But here we are, compelled to be apart, and by whom?"
39238But if he_ was awake, what was it he saw_?
39238But is it not a fact that Mrs. Pruitt, with whom you are well acquainted, accompanied your daughter on this trip?"
39238But it seems rather odd, does n''t it?
39238But maybe I am entitled to hear it?"
39238But the fact that others cultivate and heed such is no reason, dear, do you feel, that we should?"
39238But was freedom all?
39238But was she?
39238But what can be done?"
39238But what did he know of such?
39238But why was there no evidence of a struggle?
39238But you will do this favor which I ask of you?"
39238But, sweet one, when are you going to become my own?"
39238But_ could_ she?
39238CHAPTER X"YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS WAY BEFORE"When Agnes Stewart found her father and they were ready to return home, she inquired:"Did he see you?"
39238Ca n''t you take a joke?"
39238Christine was not there, he knew, unless she had come that day, which was not likely.... Then_ who rode the horse_?
39238Credit?
39238Did he speak to you on the street?"
39238Did n''t stop on the way anywhere?"
39238Did the editor not have a conversation with you before the article appeared?"
39238Did you meet anybody on the way?"
39238Did you stop and talk?"
39238Do I love you?
39238Do n''t you think that if I secured a good detective to look into it-- this case, it would be the proper thing?"
39238Do you realize, Agnes, had it not been for you, I-- I-- would not be sitting here now?
39238Do you recall of having ever heard your daughter or any one say what deeded land in that section sold for?"
39238Do you understand?"
39238Does your head pain you much?"
39238Duty?
39238Even had he been blind he could have known he was among them, for was not there the usual noise; the old laugh, and all that went with it?
39238Everything O.K.?''
39238Finally he heard himself speaking, and in a voice that seemed to come from far away:"Ah-- well-- did my wife have-- attention?"
39238For what more could he have wished?
39238Glavis glared at him as if to say,"Well, what business have you here, now?"
39238Glavis?"
39238Guess I may depend on you to be ready that day?"
39238Had n''t you heard about it?"
39238Had_ he_, done that, too?
39238Has any one ever observed the fact before?"
39238Has something happened?
39238Have you a''phone?"
39238Have you any idea who the plaintiff is going to use as witnesses?"
39238Have you any knowledge as to how many visits this doctor made to the bedside of this girl when she was sick?
39238Have you never heard of Jean Baptiste?
39238Have you never seen a woman who never changed her mind-- especially when there was a man in the case?"
39238Have you really not seen a colored girl in a whole year?"
39238Have you sent him word when he could?"
39238He caught his breath and held his hand over his heart, as he heard her voice:"Papa, is that you?
39238He lowered his eyes in thought as his lips muttered:"Wonder where he is?"
39238He petted her a moment and then, placing his hand under her chin, raised her head and said:"Well, now, my dear, what is the matter?"
39238He raised his hand to his head and was thoughtful, before saying:"Why were you so disturbed over me seeing the letter, Orlean?
39238He said-- well, I ca n''t quite explain, but he-- he wants to marry me, mama, and you know-- well, mama, you understand, do n''t you?"
39238He was not injured, she was relieved to see; but_ what was_ the matter?
39238He was succeeding in the game of reform(?)
39238He will be there over Sunday you say?...
39238How can it be your fault when you have sacrificed the nice home in Chicago for this wilderness?"
39238How could I get married?
39238How could I?
39238How did you make him understand?"
39238How do you account for or explain that?"
39238How far is that?"
39238How long would it take for her to be his mate again at this rate?
39238How should I know?
39238How were you impressed with him when you met him later at this friend''s house?"
39238How would he be able to face these friends if they failed to accept the book?
39238I almost beseeched you, because-- oh, do n''t you understand what is in me, that I am as all men, weak?
39238I hear they are parted?''
39238I said:''I do n''t understand you?''
39238I suppose I can count you as witness to the fact?"
39238I think it''s in your eyes; but I_ do_ understand that whatever it is it is something good-- it could n''t be otherwise, could it?"
39238I understand.... What do I want with him?
39238I wonder if he could board me?"
39238I wonder whether she will testify that she overheard your father- in- law abusing this Baptiste to his wife?"
39238I-- would like to speak to you?"
39238If he is still here, I will say:''this is the wrong number,''Get it?"
39238If not, then, where might I find her?"
39238If so then what would he write?
39238In hell and its tortures did you say?
39238Is it not reasonable to suppose that he would not know where the preacher slept if he had not been in the house for three years?"
39238Is it not so?"
39238Is she a single woman or married?"
39238Is that quite true?"
39238Is this it?"
39238It does n''t stop here; but you catch it and go to the station above here, do you understand?"
39238It does not seem reasonable to suppose that he granted her the privilege to sign his name to checks to secure money with which to leave him?"
39238It was rather singular, however, he now thought; for if such had happened, and he had seen it, then why had he not stopped the robber?
39238M- m. Then who purchased it for her, Reverend?"
39238M- m._ Your father_ had it cashed for you?"
39238McCarthy?"
39238McCarthy_?
39238Merley''s?"
39238Merley?"
39238My God, how could I be after what you have done to me, my life.... Why did n''t I come to the house?...
39238Not away down on that farm southeast?"
39238Now what would it all come to?
39238Now, supposin''you married a white woman and brought her here to Chicago, who would you associate with?
39238Now, what am I to do?
39238Now, what am I to do?
39238Now,_ are those girls_ straight?''
39238Now-- a-- who solicited that write- up?
39238Or was it her presence?
39238Perhaps it just happened so?
39238Presently he said:"How much do you have to have to go down there?"
39238Presently she said in a low voice:"Do you feel hurt badly, Jean?"
39238Pruitt?"
39238She called him:"Father?"
39238She had been trained not to...."Now where did you meet Mr. Baptiste, my dear?"
39238She says:''Is she sick physically, or mentally?''
39238She to her sewing, and Jean Baptiste to his thoughts.... CHAPTER II WHICH?
39238She turned to him, and said:"What are you doing here?"
39238Shortly she felt his hand upon her shoulder and she turned to hear him say:"Wo n''t you come back into the parlor?
39238Should he confess?
39238So he had arisen, that was sure; but why had he not come for his meal?
39238So you are home to dinner?"
39238Some you have bought since you have been married?"
39238Soon she heard him, as she clung to his arm, allowing her body to rest against his shoulder:"How much for, Orlean?"
39238Soon she said:"Do you play?"
39238Tell them that it had been rejected as unavailable?
39238That I shall return later in the day?"
39238That much money?"
39238That would be the first thing to do, would n''t it, Jean?"
39238That, I recall is the home of the Sioux?"
39238The melting smile she bestowed him with was quite sufficient, so seeing, he continued:"And do you wish to become his wife?"
39238The old fellow who moved out here recently from Indiana?"
39238The only question was, would E.M. Glavis have the courage to go through with it?
39238The question is--""Are they worth anything?"
39238The station I refer to is only four miles above this, and when you get off there, catch another train that comes in a few minutes back this way, see?"
39238Then why did not he, Jean Baptiste, act?
39238Then why should it be?
39238Then, to whom?
39238Then:"Are you married yet?"
39238There is nothing wrong between us-- never has been, nor between you and I now either, is there?"
39238Therefore, can I be forgiven if I say to you; if I ask you, Miss McCarthy,"and so saying, he turned to her, his face serious,"to become my wife?"
39238Thinking of what?"
39238This, this, do you hear?
39238Throw up my hands and quit, or try to see Orlean and get her around to reason?
39238To have her to talk to; her to tell the truth to and share what little happiness there was to be had in life, he became overly anxious?
39238Wanta go long?"
39238Was he aware also that the preacher occupied this particular room?
39238Was it all because Jean Baptiste loved his wife?
39238Was_ he_ the cause of what he saw in this girl''s face?
39238Was_ this_ a proposal or was it a play?
39238Well, here''s what it was, and I_ hope_ she said it:''Why, Ethel, how is Orlean?''
39238Were they not little boys once themselves?"
39238What about this?
39238What becomes of women who are deceived?
39238What did he pay for the place?"
39238What did it mean?
39238What do you say to it?"
39238What does she know about it?"
39238What does that mean?"
39238What happened next?"
39238What is there between love and duty?
39238What is your opinion, having been on the property, of its actual worth?"
39238What part of Indiana do you come from?"
39238What was it?
39238What was passing in her mind?
39238What was the nature of the land?
39238What you want to ask me such a question for?
39238When he had drunk deeply and lay back weakly upon the pillow, he heard:"How do you feel, Jean?"
39238When shall I bring her?"
39238When she met my eyes she sighed, and then said:''Do you think he can hurt papa, Mildred?
39238When will your father- in- law be in?"
39238When would the railroad be extended out of Bonesteel westward?
39238Where did she sleep?"
39238Where did you go, sweet one?
39238Where is Speed, and the wife of his you ruined?
39238Where is your sense of duty?''
39238Where shall we find him?"
39238Where would they sit?
39238Where?
39238Where?
39238Which?
39238Which?
39238Which?
39238Who could keep from liking you?"
39238Why ask me?
39238Why did he contest the place, my dear Reverend?"
39238Why do you not wear some of your summer dresses?
39238Why do young men call to see any young ladies?"
39238Why should I come to your house, when the last time I was there I was kicked out, virtually kicked out, do you hear?_""You get away from here!"
39238Why should he be seen?
39238Why should they be separated?
39238Why should we be keeping this a secret from him-- rather, why should I?
39238Why was it that they understood each other so well?
39238Why, why,_ why_?
39238Why?"
39238Why_ would n''t_ you be welcome?
39238Will that be all right, dear?"
39238Will that be alright?"
39238Will you-- can you_ prove_ it?"
39238With Jean?
39238With sudden impulse, she turned to Mrs. Reynolds who had not interrupted:"It will be nice, now, wo n''t it?"
39238Would it be worth while?
39238Would you like to look forward and feel that you had to go through all your life what your mother has endured?"
39238Yes, and where are my brothers?
39238You are hurt, do you understand?"
39238You are perhaps, then, newcomers here?"
39238You are positive Jean Baptiste, here, killed your sister, also your father?
39238You have come and, oh, I am glad, for I have waited for you so long._""How did he know my name and come to say what he did?"
39238You have her, is she not enough?
39238You have her, is that not enough?
39238You loved none of us, perhaps, and it was because you had not had the opportunity, maybe?"
39238You might have heard that Blanche is married?"
39238You never, I suppose, informed her husband regarding the_ transaction_ after the deal was closed?"
39238You''ll be so kind as to wait until then, will you not?"
39238You_ did n''t_ kill him, you_ did n''t_ kill_ her_--_you did n''t kill anybody, did you, Jean_?"
39238_ Me_, for murder?"
39238_ When the proper time comes._""The_ proper_ time?
39238_ Who was this man_ that he should call her name and say that_ he_ had waited?
39238_ Why had they left her?_ She looked at the photographs she held--_and understood_.
39238_ Why was she away?_ Oh, the agony this question gave the man of our story.
10066A Negro in Milligan''s? 10066 A beaten trail?
10066A willing signature?
10066Ah, do n''t you see I''m serious?
10066Ah, do n''t you suppose that I know?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ai n''t nobody been able to tip you off to him?
10066Ai n''t you seen that sign?
10066All I ask,he said,"is why you hounded my gang, if you was n''t after me?"
10066Amuse me? 10066 An adequate protector even against these celebrated gunmen who run the camp as you have already admitted?"
10066And Jack Landis?
10066And Landis is gone?
10066And Nick knows all about you?
10066And after you cleaned up my crowd, ai n''t it natural and good sense for you to go on and try to clean up on me?
10066And break him in two, eh? 10066 And did you really think it could be any other way?"
10066And he made no move at you?
10066And he''ll let Jack stay with the girl and her father?
10066And how carried to the litter?
10066And if he is n''t there, will you give me your word that you wo n''t hunt him out afterward?
10066And in the next minute?
10066And she''s worth even this?
10066And that proved?
10066And that was why you pushed me away when I kissed you a little while ago?
10066And that?
10066And that?
10066And the girl?
10066And the work?
10066And then the mines?
10066And there is no other way out of this disagreeable necessity?
10066And what are you doing in here?
10066And what do you want?
10066And what if I fail to bring over Jack Landis with the sight of Lou?
10066And what might you be doing around these parts?
10066And what will be in Lebrun''s?
10066And who began it, then? 10066 And who''s Donnegan?"
10066And why dangerous?
10066And why? 10066 And why?"
10066And you do n''t believe him?
10066And you''re bothered about speaking to him of me?
10066Are you afraid?
10066Are you done?
10066Are you going to sit here?
10066Are you ready?
10066Are you serious?
10066Are you talking to me?
10066Are you the fellow who turned back my man?
10066Are you trying to mystify me?
10066Are you wanting to make trouble for her with the colonel? 10066 As a friend, Joe?"
10066Besides, for a young fellow like you, with your agility, what is eight miles? 10066 Bring him away from Lebrun?
10066Bring him here,said Donnegan with indescribable bitterness,"so that she may pity his wounds?
10066Business? 10066 But are you sure?"
10066But how are you going to work it?
10066But how could he be moved?
10066But how has he harmed you?
10066But how,pondered Donnegan,"can I be working for Lord Nick when I sign up to work under Jack Landis?"
10066But talkin''aside, suppose he was to meet up with Lord Nick?
10066But this sober truth of mine--"Well?
10066But what convinced you that I wished to keep you here?
10066But what''s the trouble, Nelly?
10066But where-- Landis-- Donnegan, what devil is in your eye?
10066But why,with gathering heat,"could n''t you help me to do the thing I ca n''t do alone?
10066But you see?
10066But,said Donnegan,"how-- that chair-- how in the world have you come here?"
10066By fighting?
10066By the way, what did he want to see you about?
10066Ca n''t you guess, Jack?
10066Ca n''t you put yourself in my place, Joe? 10066 Can you ask me?
10066Can you ask me?
10066Can you control her? 10066 D''you mean that?"
10066D''you really like him, Nelly?
10066D''you think you can fix me with a buck for a job like this? 10066 Did I hunt him up, I ask you?
10066Did he--"Did he bluff me out?
10066Did you fix him after he left you?
10066Did you listen at the door when Nick was here?
10066Did you see?
10066Did you send for me?
10066Did you tell her that?
10066Do I have to confess even that?
10066Do n''t I?
10066Do n''t the whole road know that I''m after you and you after me?
10066Do n''t you know me? 10066 Do n''t you know this joint is for white folks?"
10066Do n''t you see that I mean it?
10066Do n''t you see,said Donnegan,"that I ca n''t stop now?"
10066Do n''t you suppose I''ve known?
10066Do they say that?
10066Do you ask me to hurt him like this?
10066Do you call me Donnegan?
10066Do you call me by that name?
10066Do you know that you frighten me?
10066Do you know what they''re whispering? 10066 Do you mean it?"
10066Do you mean that?
10066Do you mean to say that you''re fooled just the same as Harry Masters and the Pedlar and the rest of those fools-- including Nick himself?
10066Do you see nothing serious about me?
10066Do you think he can hear?
10066Do you think just the same as the rest of them?
10066Do you wish further proof?
10066Don-- who''s he?
10066Donnegan?
10066Donnegan?
10066Eh? 10066 Eh?"
10066Eh?
10066Eh?
10066Even Suds?
10066Failed?
10066For what?
10066For which,said Donnegan,"I''m to step aside and let you at the colonel?"
10066Gentlemen, is it a good plan?
10066Gentlemen,said Donnegan, rising,"is there a doctor here?"
10066Gentlemen,said Donnegan,"will you step aside?"
10066George, Godwin taught you how to make coffee?
10066Get bumped off?
10066Good heavens, and ai n''t he a man for you?
10066Has n''t he taken Nick away from me? 10066 Have n''t I been hungry all my life for a man like you, lad?
10066Have you come here,she cried,"for-- for Donnegan?"
10066He has told you what? 10066 He is breaking her heart?"
10066He will live? 10066 Henry, do n''t you see that I was only playing for a purpose all the time?
10066Here?
10066Him?
10066Him?
10066How about Lord Nick?
10066How are you going to kill him, Joe?
10066How could I help it? 10066 How do you stand toward this bird with the birthmark and the red hair?"
10066How does he go to the shack?
10066How have you made sure? 10066 How long has it been,"the girl asked sharply,"since you have slept?"
10066However I do it, you''ll stick by her judgment, Henry?
10066Huh?
10066I have closed my eyes-- you see? 10066 I love her?
10066I love her?
10066I suppose you''ll get him back?
10066I''ll meet you in-- Milligan''s?
10066I? 10066 I?
10066I?
10066I?
10066I?
10066If I let you go what would you do?
10066If I should-- what would people say? 10066 If it were serious, do you suppose I''d talk like this?"
10066In other words I put my own motives into the actions and behind the actions of people? 10066 In short, you''re going to start out to get me?
10066In the hands of a man you know nothing about?
10066In the meantime, colonel, she keeps you from coming near Landis?
10066Is it possible that she loves a man who despises her?
10066Is it possible?
10066Is it true?
10066Is n''t there some way?
10066Is that fair to me? 10066 Is that final?"
10066Is that the one?
10066Is the door locked?
10066Is there anyone here?
10066Is there anything more that I can do?
10066Is what true?
10066It is n''t Jack that you''ve fought with?
10066It is n''t Jack?
10066It sounds logical what he said, eh, George?
10066It''s a long time since you''ve killed a man, is n''t it?
10066Joe Rix and the Pedlar? 10066 Joe Rix?"
10066Joe, you forged it?
10066Just what does he mean to you?
10066Leave now?
10066Lester, what''s happened?
10066Looking for a job, eh?
10066Lord Nick has been here?
10066Lord Nick? 10066 Lord Nick?"
10066Lou, do n''t you hear me saying that I''ll take the responsibility? 10066 Lou, do you distrust me?"
10066Lou, you are n''t angry with me?
10066May I say a bold thing?
10066Maybe he sent you to talk to me?
10066Maybe they ai n''t any call for you to fall out with Donnegan?
10066Me croak him? 10066 Me?
10066Me?
10066Money?
10066Murder? 10066 My dear boy, do you think I am reckless enough to break a promise I have given to you?"
10066Nell,he muttered hoarsely,"did you know about it?"
10066Nelly Lebrun--"I''m listening; and do you know I''m persuading myself to believe you?
10066Nelly, are you growing a conscience?
10066Nick,she whispered, frightened,"what is it?"
10066No matter where the trail takes you?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066Not dead? 10066 Not gone?
10066Now what do you want? 10066 Of me?"
10066Of what?
10066Oh, Jack, he has killed Lord Nick and now he is here--To do what?
10066Oh, Nelly Lebrun, what''s behind your mind? 10066 Oh, do n''t he make it, though?
10066One buck, did you say?
10066One minute?
10066Outside my door?
10066Putting on a lot of style, eh?
10066Qualifications for a fighter, eh?
10066Really? 10066 Right here?"
10066Safe?
10066See how he fails to notice that he''s making a sensation? 10066 Shall I get you out of this?"
10066She truly loves this Landis?
10066Shoot me up and then bring me back to life, eh?
10066Sir?
10066Son,he said,"how long you been in these parts?"
10066Suds? 10066 Suppose they were to be met on the way?"
10066Tears?
10066Tell me in one word: You stick on this point?
10066Tell me where I''m to go?
10066That I''ve read my father? 10066 The colonel knows him?
10066The colonel trusts him as far as all that?
10066The girl who loves you? 10066 The way I talk?
10066The woman I love?
10066Then Nick got Landis back before Donnegan returned?
10066Then how do you come here?
10066Then you do n''t love the girl?
10066Then you do n''t wish to go?
10066Then you''re one of Lord Nick''s men?
10066There seems to have been a jest?
10066They''ve gone for Donnegan?
10066This is who?
10066Three men? 10066 Told you what, Nick?"
10066Tonight it''s someone else?
10066Toward The Corner? 10066 Turn down Nick and take up Donnegan?"
10066Was even Suds with you?
10066Was that your only reason for fighting Jack Landis?
10066Well, what does he say about himself?
10066Well? 10066 Well?"
10066Well?
10066Well?
10066Well?
10066Well?
10066Well?
10066What about the birthmark? 10066 What are you driving at?"
10066What are you going to do, Nick?
10066What are you saying, Nell?
10066What are you saying?
10066What are you trying to do to me? 10066 What could I do?
10066What could be better?
10066What could be better?
10066What crew?
10066What d''you know?
10066What d''you know?
10066What did Lord Nick, as you call him, do to you? 10066 What do I care about Landis?"
10066What do I care what they say? 10066 What do you know of him?"
10066What do you know?
10066What do you mean?
10066What else can I mean?
10066What fool,murmured Donnegan,"has told you that?
10066What good will that do? 10066 What happened between you and Donnegan?"
10066What happened?
10066What have I done?
10066What have you done, what have you done?
10066What is behind all this frankness?
10066What is it you mean, Henry?
10066What makes you think that?
10066What of the fight to the death which you went through this same night?
10066What power then?
10066What should happen?
10066What the devil do you mean by that?
10066What the devil is in you?
10066What was he to you?
10066What will Lord Nick say if he finds out you''ve let Jack get into a fight?
10066What you got against him-- the color of his hair?
10066What you mean?
10066What you want?
10066What''s that kind of a gent doing in The Corner?
10066What''s the difference?
10066What''s the matter?
10066What''s the next step?
10066What''s wrong?
10066What''s your name?
10066What?
10066What?
10066Where d''you come from?
10066Where do the rest of you figure in it? 10066 Where is she?"
10066Who are you?
10066Who is it?
10066Who put it there?
10066Who taught you that expression?
10066Who you after?
10066Who''s Donnegan?
10066Who''s he?
10066Who''s he?
10066Who''s he?
10066Who''s he?
10066Who''s there?
10066Who?
10066Why am I after you?
10066Why are you after me?
10066Why did n''t I guess it?
10066Why did n''t you come directly to me?
10066Why did you leave the mines? 10066 Why do n''t you stake out your own ground and stay put in it?
10066Why do n''t you stay put?
10066Why do you look like that? 10066 Why not cut back in a semicircle toward The Corner?"
10066Why not?
10066Why not?
10066Why not?
10066Why not?
10066Why not?
10066Why should I be? 10066 Why should we be in such a hurry?"
10066Why would you do it?
10066Why, Joe told you, did n''t he? 10066 Why, confound you, ai n''t you Donnegan?"
10066Why?
10066Will you answer a question?
10066Will you let me speak?
10066With Joe Rix and the Pedlar guarding him?
10066Without force?
10066Working day and night?
10066Would it? 10066 Yeh?"
10066Yeh?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066You ai n''t got a horse?
10066You are Garry? 10066 You are keeping Jack here-- in peril-- for my sake?"
10066You did n''t mean nothing by just''happening''to run into three of my boys one after another?
10066You did that?
10066You do n''t know Donnegan?
10066You do n''t know? 10066 You do n''t mean, Lou, that you actually intend to stay on?"
10066You fool''Wo n''t she find you out? 10066 You forgive me?"
10066You hate him, Nell, do n''t you?
10066You have done all these things-- following this trail you speak of?
10066You have heard of The Corner? 10066 You have heard?"
10066You have n''t even sense enough to lie, Nell, eh? 10066 You heard me talk?"
10066You killed Rusty?
10066You know I do n''t believe it, Nick? 10066 You know that Lord Nick went up the hill for Landis?
10066You know these blond, pretty girls?
10066You mean that Nick may have taken water?
10066You missed me?
10066You need cause to fight?
10066You pile up the bad features, eh?
10066You remember what I told you of Landis and the girl on the hill?
10066You saw, eh?
10066You see that clock in the corner? 10066 You see what an awful mess I''ve gotten into?"
10066You see?
10066You see?
10066You see?
10066You seem to like her?
10066You swear?
10066You take Landis?
10066You understand?
10066You want to know what it''s all about? 10066 You want to see him?"
10066You want us to clean up Donnegan?
10066You were playing with Lord Nick?
10066You were worried?
10066You will remember me?
10066You wo n''t go, dear Jack?
10066You''d fight?
10066You''ll go home before I have a chance for that dance?
10066You''ll kill him and give his place to me?
10066You''ll make one concession to my pride, Garry, boy?
10066You''ll take him away from Lord Nick-- and Lebrun-- and the rest?
10066You''re in love with her? 10066 You''re not acting a part?
10066You''re not afraid?
10066You''re the gent that cleaned up on Landis, ai n''t you?
10066You''re the gent that''s here with the colonel, ai n''t you?
10066You''re warning me ahead of time?
10066You''ve met him? 10066 You?"
10066You?
10066You?
10066''Is this here a friend of yours, Lefty?
10066A roving commission?"
10066Across the mountains-- with whom?"
10066After all what was Donnegan to him?
10066All that he said was:"Is there anything you need?"
10066All this seemed logical, but where find the man to storm the heart of Nelly and dazzle her bright, clever eyes?
10066All this trouble because of a piece of calico?"
10066Am I a nut?
10066Am I right?
10066Amuse me?
10066And Donnegan himself?
10066And The Corner was standing around waiting for him to bring the youngster down?"
10066And after all was he not pleading for her happiness as he believed?
10066And after you had punctured him you had no chance to send home the finishing shot?"
10066And all on one trail?
10066And as for Donnegan?
10066And did you notice his giant servant?
10066And if a hair of her head is ever harmed-- you see that fire burning yonder-- the bed of coals?"
10066And if you take Landis away where will you put him?"
10066And last night, after you''d wormed it out of Joe, you went to Donnegan?"
10066And now you have been fighting?"
10066And now-- if one of us could clear the road, what will we do together?
10066And now?"
10066And the main topic of conversation was: Did Donnegan aim at the body or the hand of the bouncer?
10066And then, to her:"But you knew about it and did n''t warn him?
10066And what was I beside him?
10066And would not Kennebec Lou himself return in admiration of a man who had done what he, Kennebec, could not do?
10066And would not that open the door to Donnegan?
10066And you do n''t doubt it, do you, old fellow?"
10066Are you angry?"
10066Are you contented to look at a flower from a distance?
10066Are you glancing at her, now?"
10066Are you going to leave them without a syllable of goodfellowship?"
10066Are you going to spend your last four minutes hating me?"
10066Are you one of us, pal?"
10066Are you the fellow who turned back my man?"
10066As it touches me now, you see?"
10066Besides, how could I conceal myself from such a man?
10066Bring him away from the tigers of Lord Nick''s gang?
10066Bring him here where she may think of him and tend him and grow to hate me?"
10066But Donnegan?
10066But could he tell her, poor girl, the story of Nelly Lebrun?
10066But how remove Nelly as long as it was her cue from her father to play Landis for his money?
10066But if you''re playing straight, tell me what you want?"
10066But it''s an interesting bluff, Jack, do n''t you think?"
10066But now for your work here, lad?"
10066But on such a night as this?"
10066But that leaves four of us, and four is plenty, eh?"
10066But then, who had ever been able to fathom the ways of Donnegan?
10066But what about comfort, Lou?"
10066But what could you be afraid of?
10066But what if she truly loved Landis?
10066But with Donnegan out of the way would not Suds come back to him instantly?
10066But you see what a fool I was and how clumsily I worked?
10066But you, George-- have you heard what he said?"
10066By the way, what was the reason?"
10066Can you use it?"
10066Come to the windward of Joe Rix?
10066D''you give us a free road?"
10066Dead?
10066Did the fools think I did n''t mean it?"
10066Did they give him up so soon as it was known that Lord Nick had entered the lists against him?
10066Did you see him smile over it?
10066Did you see them?"
10066Do I go along stepping on the tail of a rattlesnake?
10066Do I need to tell you?
10066Do n''t you hear?"
10066Do n''t you see her play?
10066Do n''t you see that I''ll go out and explain that I''m your brother?"
10066Do you doubt that?"
10066Do you hear?
10066Do you know Nick?"
10066Do you know why?
10066Do you remember the little red- headed tramp who came in here the other night and spoke to me?"
10066Do you see a way yourself?"
10066Do you still want to save Donnegan?"
10066Do you think I could trust you?
10066Do you think I''ll drop you while you look around?"
10066Do you think I''m fooled by it?
10066Do you?"
10066Does he think I have time for letters?"
10066Donnegan repeated slowly:"Your daughter loves this chap?"
10066Donnegan, tell me the trick of it?"
10066Donnegan?"
10066Donnegan?"
10066Donnegan?"
10066Eh?
10066Eh?"
10066Eh?"
10066Eight miles--"Did she expect to turn a sinner from the gates of heaven with a mere phrase?
10066Either he must place his own life in terrible hazard or else he must shoot to kill; and if he killed, what of Lou Macon?
10066Even if she thought he was slighting her why should she take it so mortally to heart?
10066Expectancy?
10066For a moment Donnegan only stared at her; on what did she base her confidence in his prowess as a fighting man?
10066For if it needed compulsion to keep him with Lou now, might it not be the same story hereafter?
10066Go down into The Corner?
10066Had Donnegan aimed at the hand of Andy and risked his own life on his ability to disable the other without killing him?
10066Had Donnegan gone out madly to fight the three men in spite of her warning?
10066Had Donnegan returned these things to show how perfectly he despised his enemy?
10066Had all his display in The Corner gone for nothing as against the repute of this terrible mystery man?
10066Had he not reduced poor Jack Landis to a trembling wreck by five minutes of silence?
10066Has he just come here hunting trouble?"
10066Have I said anything agin''him?
10066Have you nothing to remember?
10066Have you ventured into such a country as this without any equipment?"
10066He added:"But do you mean all this?"
10066He added:"What was his name?"
10066He went on aloud to Landis:"So glum, my boy?
10066He will live?"
10066He''s one of the colonel''s men?"
10066Heavens above, does n''t he know that a mining camp is no place for a young girl?
10066Heavens, man, is there anything more disagreeable than being hurried out of life?
10066Her cheeks were flushed; her eyes were starry with what?
10066Her father?
10066Her father?
10066Her hatred could be a deathless passion, and her love also; and the great question to be answered now was, did she truly love Jack Landis?
10066Hogtie''em both?"
10066How can you carry him?"
10066How could any woman in her senses prefer me?"
10066How could she dream that it sprang out of anything other than a wild devotion to her?
10066How follow up the opening gun which he had fired at the expense of Gloster and the three miners?
10066How much went through the brain of Lord Nick?
10066How remove her, unless it were possible to sweep Nelly off her feet with another man?
10066How should it be done?
10066How to startle The Corner?
10066How will you persuade Nelly?
10066How, therefore, am I to draw him from Nelly?
10066How?"
10066Hunting for what?"
10066I ask you, who''s Donnegan?"
10066I could only hope that he was hollow; yellow-- you see?
10066I guess good sense''ll tell a man that it was n''t none of us, eh?
10066I know it, do n''t I?
10066I love her?
10066I pity a dog in the street, but would I cross you, Garry, lad, to save the dog?
10066I take your daughter to the camp and play her against Nelly Lebrun to win back Jack Landis?
10066I''ve bought it with blood, and things you buy at such a price ought to stick, eh?"
10066I--"Why did he pause?
10066If Lord Nick had been humbled by this singular Donnegan, would it not be a perfect revenge to bring Donnegan himself to her feet?
10066If she wants to see this fool can you keep her away, and if she goes to him can you control her smiling?"
10066If that first meeting did not bring Landis to his senses, what followed?
10066If they see you in my clothes?"
10066If you do n''t want her, what difference does it make to you except silly sentiment?"
10066Interested?
10066Is he going to dance with you again?"
10066Is it clear?"
10066Is n''t that enough?"
10066Is that agreeable?"
10066Is that clear?"
10066Is that the scheme?"
10066It shook Donnegan to the core, but he replied instantly;"If I were in love, do n''t you suppose that I would have shot to kill when I met Landis?"
10066It''s Donnegan again-- Donnegan still?
10066It''s all true, then?
10066Jack Landis muttered a curse and said sneeringly:"Are you afraid?"
10066Kennebec?
10066Kill Landis?
10066Lefty broke in:"You mean to say you''ve been working two solid years and all on a trail that you ai n''t even found?"
10066Lord Nick wanted to know why I trusted to you?
10066Lord Nick?
10066Lou, have you looked into our friend''s cabin?
10066Love me?
10066Love?
10066May I come in?"
10066May I come in?"
10066Maybe you did n''t bust up the gang?
10066Maybe you did n''t clean up on Suds and Kennebec?"
10066Maybe you do n''t know who the boss is?"
10066Me?
10066Miss Donnegan in action?
10066Murder?"
10066Nick to send him away?
10066No farewell word for them?
10066No, do we look alike?"
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?"
10066Nothing kindly to say?
10066Nothing to soften your mind?
10066Now, ca n''t you- all wait till Donnegan wakes up tonight?
10066Now, what pleasant accident has brought me the favor of this call?"
10066Now, you wonder why I wish to have Landis in my care if I do not intend to put an end to him and thereby become owner of his mines?
10066One bullet would do all this: and with Jack dead, who else stood close to the girl?
10066Or had he fired at Lewis''body and struck the hand and arm only by a random lucky chance?
10066Or was that because Donnegan''s own thoughts were traveling at such lightning speed that the rest of the world seemed standing still?
10066Pull the wool over my eyes?"
10066Say which?"
10066She had never seen such emotion in any man''s face, and if it was for another, how could she guess it?
10066She pitied him, but when did pity wholly rule the heart of a woman?
10066She was thinking: Why not have Landis back?
10066Sitting with your eyes closed?"
10066Smooth, eh?
10066So you have done it?
10066So you love the girl?
10066So you''re going to work for him?"
10066Somebody to stand and guard my back while I faced the rest of the world?"
10066Suppose he is a mint; have n''t we coined enough money out of him?
10066Suppose he were to allow Landis to plunge deeper into his infatuation?
10066Suspicious?
10066Tell me why you''re so set on this keeping of Landis here against my will and even against the lad''s own will?
10066That I knew he was sending a bloodhound when he sent you?
10066That clear?"
10066That it was to be near Nelly Lebrun as much as to be away from the colonel that he wished so ardently to leave the shack?
10066That trail you spoke of?"
10066That''s an old comparison, is n''t it?
10066The Corner is a wild town; you understand?"
10066The giant looked to Donnegan and observed:"Know a good definition of the word, skunk?"
10066Then what did she do?
10066Then who was it?
10066Then:"Do you really wish to see him?"
10066There was a faint glint in the eyes of the colonel; was he not sharpening his wits for his contest of words, and enjoying it?
10066There was the jeweler''s; the gent''s furnishing; a real estate office-- what could real estate be doing on the Young Muddy''s desert?
10066They ai n''t much nerve about you, is there?"
10066Three men leave town and commit a murder and then expect to go undetected?
10066To kill Landis in turn?
10066To prove to the girl that the big fellow had coolly tricked her?
10066To what end?
10066Try to push him away; to explain?
10066Understand?"
10066Ungrateful boy?
10066Unpleasant news?
10066Was he sitting up all the night, unable to sleep because he waited breathlessly for that false tryst on the morrow?
10066Was he, too, a party to the murderous plan?
10066Was it fear because of her?
10066Was it not through fear that the colonel himself had reduced her to such abject, unquestioning obedience?
10066Was it the Pedlar or Rix or me?
10066Was she reading beneath the boisterous assurance of Landis?
10066Was there no way to evade this easy request?
10066We understand each other?"
10066What am I to gain by placing him within the range of your whispering?"
10066What are we?
10066What are you doing up here?"
10066What ass had told you that Lord Nick is a common sort?"
10066What chance had poor Jack Landis against her?
10066What could I do?
10066What could she do?
10066What could she expect to find in him?
10066What did they expect?
10066What did you have against him?"
10066What had Donnegan done to the big man?
10066What have you been doing, Nelly, while all this was going on?
10066What have you done?
10066What in the world are they out for at this time of night?"
10066What is it you wish?"
10066What is speed in a fighter?
10066What is there to worry about?
10066What kept Lou Macon?
10066What made the assembly shine?
10066What made the ball so fine?
10066What makes you think that?"
10066What man could understand me?
10066What of it?
10066What pain is there greater than the pain that comes to the poor man in such a time?
10066What that was useful to her?
10066What the devil can I do?
10066What was Donnegan but a worthless tramp?
10066What was Donnegan to him?
10066What was I to do?
10066What was in his mind?"
10066What was it that he saw as he turned the pages?
10066What was it?
10066What will they think, Henry?"
10066What will you do?
10066What with Kennebec Lou and Suds both gone, what chance did I have to hold the boys together?"
10066What work did she assign to him in her imagination?
10066What would Landis do?
10066What would happen?
10066What would he not have given if she had come at his call not with these dumb eyes, but with a spark of kindliness?
10066What would the condemned man say to a friend who made such an offer?
10066What you got?
10066What you want?
10066What''ll you have, bud?"
10066What''s a fickle jade to me?
10066What''s pity?
10066What?"
10066When has a woman condemned a man for loving her beyond the rules of fair play?
10066Where by five chances out of ten he must meet his brother in the street?
10066Where was the filmy- eyed girl he had known?
10066Which handful must she discard?
10066Who am I to love her?
10066Who and what is she?"
10066Who are you?
10066Who has not heard snow drop from the branch upon other snow beneath?
10066Who is he?"
10066Who is it?
10066Who made Landis see light?
10066Who mentioned money?
10066Who put that name in your mouth?"
10066Who saved you?
10066Who started walkin''on Jack''s toes?
10066Who took the marshal off your trail after you''d knifed Lefty Waller, Joe Rix?
10066Who was it bribed the jury that tried you for the shooting up of Derbyville, Pedlar?
10066Who was left?
10066Who with?
10066Who worked it so that every nickel that came out of the mines went through the fingers of Landis and came back to us?
10066Who would it be?
10066Who''s Donnegan?
10066Who?
10066Who?
10066Whom should I select?
10066Why could n''t you get him away from the house?"
10066Why did I feel that?
10066Why did you do it, girl?"
10066Why die, Landis, with a curse in your heart and a scowl on your lips?"
10066Why do n''t you draw on me?
10066Why do n''t you?
10066Why do n''t you?"
10066Why not a quick draw, a snap shot, and then the glory of having killed this manslayer in single battle for Joe Rix?
10066Why not let things go on as they were?
10066Why should I croak him?"
10066Why the sudden silence?
10066Why?
10066Why?
10066Why?
10066Will you help me?
10066Will you meet me at the shack by Donnell''s ford tomorrow morning at ten o''clock?
10066Will you try it?"
10066Will you walk with me?"
10066Win Lou Macon by the power of fear, well enough, for was not fear the thing which she had followed all her life?
10066Wo n''t you cut this short?
10066Worse than I''m in?"
10066Would it not be a joy to see him turn pale under her smile, and then, when he was well- nigh on his knees, spurn the love which he offered her?
10066Would not that cure Lou?
10066Would the three suspect when they reached the shack by the ford and no Donnegan came to them?
10066You do n''t understand?
10066You hated him all the time you were laughing with him and smiling at him?
10066You have the note from me?"
10066You hear me talk?"
10066You hear me talk?"
10066You hear me?
10066You hear?
10066You hear?"
10066You know how it is?
10066You know how it is?"
10066You know it?"
10066You know that I''m not doubting you?"
10066You know?
10066You know?"
10066You saw me put a paper in my pocket when I opened the door of my room?
10066You see how beautifully their plans and their work dovetail?
10066You see that crowd gathering yonder?

10560At what?
10560Attentions, ma''am?
10560Be careful? 10560 Because, sir--""I call you''my own''in advance?
10560Before we leave the subject--"What subject?
10560Before you would listen to it?
10560Besides this they have another figure--"The Dutch have?
10560Better?
10560Bloodshed?
10560Burnt? 10560 But I say,"he observed,"how would a horse come in there?
10560But dangerous accidents have frequently resulted from--"Donkeys? 10560 But do n''t you think?"
10560But the''Gazette''--?
10560But why not marry?
10560But you asked about Richmond, did you not, my beauty?
10560But your poem?
10560But, Mr. Roundjacket,said Verty, sighing,"do you think I ought not to marry because I am an Indian?"
10560But, Mr. Rushton,said Redbud,"is not heaven worth all the world and its affections?"
10560But,continued Ralph,"tell me now, really, do you young girls admire babies?"
10560By faith?
10560Ca n''t get him?
10560Ca n''t you guess?
10560Can not you banish her false image?
10560Can she find anything to like in me? 10560 Can you ask?"
10560Come now, my dear Mr. Verty,repeated that lady,"tell me what all this means-- are you in love, can it be-- not with Reddy?"
10560Come, my charming child-- why did you treat me so cruelly?
10560Concerning what?
10560Could it be? 10560 Could n''t?"
10560Could what be?
10560Could you not do as she has done-- and-- choose-- another object yourself?
10560Could you; how many?
10560Curing him?
10560Deny--?
10560Did I?
10560Did he come away singing?
10560Did it?
10560Did the child make his mother weep,he said;"did his idle words bring rain to her eyes, and make her heart heavy?
10560Did they laugh?
10560Did they?
10560Did you get exhibit 10?
10560Did you say, no?
10560Did you speak to me?
10560Did you?
10560Did you?
10560Did''nt he, Redbud?
10560Did''nt you pass along the streets?
10560Distresses you, sir?
10560Do I?
10560Do I?
10560Do n''t you ever read in the New Testament?
10560Do n''t you know what_ felicity_ means, you young savage?
10560Do n''t you like law, sir?
10560Do n''t you now, Verty?

10560Do you think I would catch cold?
10560Do you think so, Redbud?
10560Do you?
10560Does anybody?
10560Does it?
10560Eh?
10560Equally untrue-- where is it?
10560Ever what, ma''am?
10560Ever, my dear boy,Your friend"and pitcher,"------------""Did anybody--""Ever?"
10560Excuse?
10560Fairest of your sex, is this all that is necessary for happiness?

10560Flirting?
10560Fodder, sir?
10560Fond of him?
10560For Miss Sallianna?
10560For the deer?
10560For what, then?
10560For what?
10560From Redbud? 10560 From the Indian woman?"
10560Funny, sir?
10560Furious?
10560Go where?
10560Go where?
10560Going away!--you going away? 10560 Good morning, Mr. Roundjacket,"said Verty, smiling;"how do you do to- day?"
10560Good morning, Squire,said the boy, smiling,"may I go and see Redbud, if you please?"
10560Good morning, sir?
10560Good- morning, sir,said Miss Sallianna, with some stiffness;"where are your clothes?"
10560Growing up?
10560Half?
10560Handsome?
10560Has Verty seen the dove?
10560Has Williamsburg made you angry, sir?
10560Has it?
10560Have a glass of water?
10560Have to what, sir?
10560Have you had your breakfast, sir?
10560Have you quarreled? 10560 Have you, sir?"
10560Have you?
10560Havn''t we?
10560His poem?
10560How does he show it, my boy?
10560How is that, sir?
10560How nicely it fits,he said;"who would have imagined that my awkward fingers could have done it?"
10560How then--?
10560How was it, Verty?
10560How would you like a new suit of clothes?
10560How, indeed?
10560How, ma''am?
10560How, might''nt be?
10560How, pray?
10560How, sir?
10560How, sir?
10560How, sir?
10560How, sir?
10560How?
10560How?
10560How?
10560How?
10560How?
10560How?
10560How?
10560How?
10560Humph!--how?
10560I do n''t complain of your not speaking Delaware,says Verty,"for how could you, unless_ ma mere_ had taught you?
10560I have heard of a young gentleman called Jinks,the Squire said, with a sly laugh,"what say you to him for number two?"
10560I know; but can you recognize--?
10560I mean, you_ think_ you are going to?
10560I say, my dear fellow,he observed,"you wanted a horse, did''nt you?"
10560I say, old fellow, what''s the matter?
10560I say, what''s the price of that turkey?
10560I say,he said, suddenly,"I wanted to ask--""Well, sir?"
10560I shall never repent the delay?
10560I think you have grown fond of--"Yourself, madam?
10560I thought you had abandoned her?
10560I understand: of Jupiter Ammon,said Jinks;"but my legs, sir-- my legs?"
10560I wonder at that,said Ralph;"as bad as mouldy cloth?
10560I wonder what Redbud thinks of me?
10560I, madam? 10560 I?"
10560In Chancery?
10560In love with somebody else?
10560In the body or the mind?
10560In what?
10560Indeed, sir?
10560Indeed?
10560Indeed?
10560Indeed?
10560Indulgences?
10560Insulted?
10560Is he vicious?
10560Is he, sir?
10560Is it possible?
10560Is it, sir?
10560Is it? 10560 Is it?"
10560Is the profession to be disgraced by the entrance of a bear, a savage, a wild boy of the woods, who resembles a catamountain? 10560 Is there anything wrong in my wishing to marry?"
10560It is very pretty,said Redbud, gently;"who was she, sir?"
10560It might be, but I think it might''nt, sir?
10560It''s abominable, sir-- oderous; and then your hair--"My hair?
10560Judge?
10560Killed, do you mean, sir?
10560La, what does he mean?
10560Like a river? 10560 Like?"
10560Look at him,said Redbud;"why does he dislike the butterflies?"
10560Making love?
10560May I not stop it from your salary, I should like to know, sir?
10560May I?
10560Maybe I shall-- who knows?
10560Mentioned?
10560Mine?
10560More?
10560Much?
10560Must I go, sir?
10560Must I tell, sir? 10560 My clothes, sir-- from the tailor''s?"
10560My pigeon? 10560 My visits?"
10560My young friend,he said at last,"how old are you?"
10560My-- miniature?
10560Never?
10560News, sir? 10560 No taste?"
10560No? 10560 Not all, sir?"
10560Not answer?
10560Not at Richmond?--but permit me first to ask if your observation was addressed to me, sir?
10560Not do so in the present instance, do you mean?
10560Not every night?
10560Not good?
10560Not mine?
10560Not proper?
10560Not read the Bible to me?
10560Not receive me?
10560Nothing, my boy; but I say, Jinks, what makes you look so fierce? 10560 O''Brallaghan''s?
10560Office work?
10560Oh, I did''nt know--"I heard you?
10560Oh, Mr. Bantam writes this, does he?
10560Oh, me?
10560Old- fashioned and pretty,said the young man, with a smile,"did you not make a mistake there, Miss Redbud?"
10560Opprobrium?
10560Over?
10560Peculiar?
10560Perhaps you are making love to her?
10560Poor hawk? 10560 Possible, sir?"
10560Possible?
10560Pray why, sir?
10560Pretty little Miss Summers?
10560Really, now?
10560Redbud Summers?
10560Redbud? 10560 Revenge, nice and good?"
10560Ruined me?
10560Say?
10560Seventeen?
10560Sha n''t what-- kiss you?
10560Shall I get it?
10560Shall I sing it? 10560 She is too young, and then besides--""Besides, Miss Sallianna?"
10560Sir?
10560Sir?
10560Sir?
10560Sir?
10560Sir?
10560Sir?
10560Sir?
10560Sir?
10560Sir?
10560Sly?--I?
10560So busy talking, young people, that you could not even look out the window when I approach with visitors, eh?
10560So do I-- but Mr. Ralph is so--"_ What_, Miss Redbud?
10560So, it seems,he says,"that Mr. Roundjacket counsels a bachelor life, eh?
10560Speak,she said,"the dove is not sick?"
10560Such a face?
10560Suppose, then, it had been a crab- apple, and the baby had still said''um, um,''what would it then have meant?
10560Tell me all about it,he said, with the interest of a lover himself;"have you had any moonlight, any flowers, music, and that sort of things?"
10560Than what?
10560That all? 10560 The Certiorari, did you say, sir?"
10560The paper, sir?
10560Then you mean that you do not deserve her praise?
10560Then, sir, we can not be friends--"Why, ma''am-- I mean, Miss?
10560They do it, sir; and having thus laughed at the Irish, the Dutch go parading through the streets; and in consequence--"The Irish--?
10560They''re the sweetest, dearest things in all the world,continued Fanny,"and the man who do n''t like babies--""Is a monster, eh?"
10560This paper with-- with--''Trust in God''on it; did you write it?
10560This plight?
10560To get flowers?
10560To ride?
10560To school? 10560 To what, sir?"
10560To whom, then?
10560To whom? 10560 Try what?"
10560Unwell?
10560Verty?
10560Very large?
10560Visiting?
10560Was I asleep? 10560 Was it Indian?"
10560Welcome, welcome, my young friend,said Roundjacket;"you see me laid up, sir""You''re not much sick, I hope, sir?"
10560Well, I wo n''t ask it, then,Verty said;"I never care to know anything-- there''s the tailor''s, ai nt it?"
10560Well, if you know that, why do you trifle away your minutes? 10560 Well, my fine fellow,"he said,"what luck in your wooing?
10560Well, sir,said Mr. Rushton,"what news is there about town?"
10560Well, sir?
10560Well, sir?
10560Well,he says,"there is something else on your mind, Jinks, my boy; what is it?
10560Well?
10560Well?
10560Were there any circumstances which tend to fix the hour, and the day, in your mind?
10560Were there many flies?
10560Wet?
10560What advice does he give you?
10560What are they?
10560What are you gazing at?
10560What are you laughing at?
10560What are you prying into?
10560What axiom?
10560What can you do?
10560What cousin-- not Ralph?
10560What did my son say?
10560What did you mean?
10560What did you say, sir?
10560What do you imagine it can be?
10560What do you mean by saying this barbarous fight was pleasant?
10560What do you mean by white people?
10560What do you mean, sir?
10560What do you say to a donkey?
10560What do you want with a horse?
10560What does he mean, madam?
10560What does''um, um,''mean? 10560 What excuse have you, young man?"
10560What for?
10560What has he done? 10560 What is faith?"
10560What is it, sir?
10560What is it?
10560What is that?
10560What is that?
10560What is that?
10560What is that?
10560What is the cause of your amusement?
10560What lessons are they?
10560What of it?
10560What of that, man?
10560What of the dear child?--have you fallen out? 10560 What of''em?"
10560What shall I tell''um, Miss,said the servant?
10560What story did she tell you, sir?
10560What surprises you, sir?
10560What then?
10560What then?
10560What thing, sir?
10560What things?
10560What was that you said?
10560What was there so interesting in the toes?
10560What were they?
10560What would that be, sir? 10560 What''s a tatterdemalion?"
10560What''s that?
10560What''s the matter with my poor dress?
10560What''s the matter, sir?
10560What''s the matter?
10560What, at a woman?

10560What?
10560When did I promise?
10560Where are you going, young man?
10560Where did you get this necklace? 10560 Where was my son born?"
10560Where?
10560Where?
10560Where?
10560Which shall I do?
10560Who could find fault with me for killing him? 10560 Who is he?"
10560Who is it?
10560Who will prevent me?
10560Who''s he?
10560Who''s that?
10560Who''s the letter from?
10560Who''s the old lady?
10560Who''s_ mommer_, pray?
10560Who, Longears?
10560Who? 10560 Who?"
10560Why did you kiss me? 10560 Why do n''t you get one, then?"
10560Why does my son ask?
10560Why how can he fly?
10560Why not exchange with some one?
10560Why not talk about him?
10560Why not, sir?
10560Why not, sir?
10560Why not, sir?
10560Why not?
10560Why not?
10560Why not?
10560Why not?
10560Why pity them? 10560 Why should my son seek to find?"
10560Why then--?
10560Why, are you not satisfied?
10560Why, madam?
10560Why, sir?
10560Why, sir?
10560Why, then, has she treated you so badly?
10560Why, what have I done? 10560 Why, what have we been talking about lately?"
10560Why?
10560Why?
10560Why?

10560Why?
10560Why?
10560Why?
10560Will I come?
10560Will you come down, Redbud, if I go?
10560Will you fight?
10560Will you follow my advice?
10560Will you shake hands?
10560With pleasure,said Mr. Roundjacket, who had evidently taken a great liking to Verty;"what sort of clothes?"
10560With this-- young man?
10560With whom?
10560With whom?
10560Would you have me a heathen?
10560Would you like a ride, little one?
10560Would''nt you?
10560Wrong? 10560 Yes, ma''am-- but are you well enough?"
10560Yes, sir; I suppose it would do for me?
10560Yes, sir; and then the wings-- do you see the wings?
10560Yes, sir; why did you ask?
10560Yes, this is me, and I''ve been talking with Redbud,said Verty;"is that Miss Sallianna?"
10560Yes, yes-- why ca n''t you live at Apple Orchard, where we were so happy?
10560Yes, you; where are those costumes which I presented to you?
10560Yes,he murmured,"yes, I think I am a Delaware!--a white?
10560Yes,he said, with an awful scowl,"that young man has robbed me of my mistress--""Who-- Verty?"
10560Yes--"Make bloody noses and cracked crowns, and pass them current, too?
10560Yes: and why, sir?
10560Yes; and she is supplied with a huge apron full of-- what do you think?
10560Yes?
10560Yes?
10560You are willing, I suppose?
10560You are, are you?
10560You do n''t hate me?
10560You do not understand?
10560You doubt my ability to capture him?
10560You have heard of that?
10560You mean Dutch and Irish?
10560You say_ ma mere_--that means,''my mother,''do n''t it?
10560You seem to think it is very dreadful,said Verty;"are you afraid of women, sir?"
10560You shot him, Verty?
10560You think so?
10560You want company?
10560You will come soon again, and continue our discussion-- of-- of-- the beauties of nature? 10560 You will still pursue with your dreadful enmity the unfortunate O''Brallaghan?"
10560You wish to go and see her?
10560You wrote it?
10560You?
10560You?
10560Young man,she said to Verty,"what''s the price of that turkey?"
10560Your coat?
10560Your pigeon, Reddie? 10560 Your writing, sir?"
10560_ Anan_, ma''am''?
10560_ Anan_, sir?
10560_ Anan_? 10560 _ Anan_?"
10560_ Anan_?

10560_ Anan_?
10560_ My_ heaven--?
10560''Lullaby?''"
10560A villain did you say?"
10560All this we might do; but is it necessary?
10560Am I a wild beast, a rhinoceros, or a monster of any description, that you ca n''t speak?
10560Am I mad?"
10560Am I the son of a brave; am I a Delaware; or am I what my face makes me out-- a Long- knife?"
10560And laughing, the Squire adds:"Will you come and see the titles, Rushton?"
10560And so, sir, you do n''t think there''s any objection to my marrying?"
10560And why are these harvest melodies so soft- sounding, and so grateful to the ear?
10560And with a growl, the speaker turned from Verty, and said, roughly, to Redbud:"Where''s your father?"''
10560And, hugging the donkey''s neck--"Eh, Fodder?"
10560Are the feelings of our after lives so much more disinterested, pure and elevated?
10560Are you happy with such a face as that?''
10560As a red face, or a long knife-- which am I?
10560At last he placed the end of his ruler upon his waistcoat, and said, mysteriously:"Do you see me?"
10560But I forgot, you do n''t know about the pigeon-- do you?"
10560But we are friends, I know-- about the other, why think?
10560But what are you sitting there for, my dear Verty?
10560But where did I spring from,_ ma mere_?"
10560But who knows?
10560But why should we waste our time in saying that the gay party were pleased with everything, and laughed out loudly for that reason?
10560But why take the trouble to say that of the divine sex?
10560But will you let me speak?
10560Come, how much?"
10560Come; have you quarreled with your mistress?"
10560Costs it more pains than this, ye call A''great event,''shall come to pass, Than that?
10560Could he not look back and see those tender eyes following him from the lattice of Redbud''s room-- and blessing him?
10560Could it have been because she did not like him in his fine clothes?
10560Could they not have a private room?
10560Could they not make up their minds to join the company?
10560Could''nt he see Redbud?
10560Did anybody ever?"
10560Did you ever hear of such a thing, Lavinia?
10560Did you never hear them in the woods, Verty-- moaning in their nests?"
10560Did you say any one wanted me?
10560Do n''t you hear them?
10560Do n''t you know that in this reputable province, called Virginia, blood goes a great way?
10560Do n''t you, Redbud?"
10560Do n''t you?"
10560Do not all of us?
10560Do you know, sir, that life is made up of minutes?"
10560Do you pretend to say that you are not complimented by a salute from such an elegant gentleman as myself?"
10560Do you see that locust?
10560Do you want to run a- tilt against Sir Verty, eh?
10560Eh?"
10560Excuse me, I did not mean-- what was your advice, ma''am?"
10560Fanny gazed at her for a moment in silence, and with a puzzled expression, said:"What has happened, Reddy, between you and Verty-- anything?"
10560Finally she said, solemnly--"How-- have you been--""To see Redbud, ma''am?"
10560For the old lady?"
10560For when was Daymon merry and light- hearted, separated from his love?
10560Going up there?"
10560Had the dim canvas smiled upon them, as they stood there hand in hand-- a blessing on them from the far other world?
10560Hang it, ca n''t a man come and talk a little business with a neighbor without being intruded upon?
10560Have I made your eyes dark?
10560Have you been up there?--I suppose you have?"
10560He holds the necklace up before Verty there, and says, in a husky voice--"Where did your mother get this?"
10560He is not a rash young man, I believe?"
10560He looked at the young man with the same strange look, and said in a low tone:"Must have seen what?"
10560His eye was glued to it for a moment, his brow grew as pale as death, and sinking into the old chair, he murmured hoarsely:"Where did you get this?"
10560His face was the face of her boy playmate-- it was very old and familiar; who can say that it was not more-- that it was not dear?
10560Honor bright now, my dear fellow?"
10560How are these delightful young ladies to get over, Verty?"
10560How did it result?"
10560How is your mother?"
10560How was it possible that the simple words,''Trust in God,''had been the occasion of such anger, nay, almost fury?
10560How would that do?"
10560I asked you why you were not in town at your work?"
10560I go into a new land now, and how shall it be?
10560I know that-- but am I a Delaware?"
10560I like Ralph, too-- don''t you?"
10560I might find out this from some other person-- who knows?
10560I should conjecture that she was a young lady, from the name.--Stay, is there not a Miss Redbud Summers, daughter of the Squire of said name?"
10560I suppose I am to take up the whole forenoon-- the most valuable part of the day-- jogging over the country to examine title- deeds and accounts?
10560I will, if Miss Redbud will supply--""The materials?
10560I wonder if--""That cloud does not threaten a storm, and whether I am not hungry?"
10560I''m sorry for you; you are going, and I think you look like kings-- going?
10560Is it at Verty going along with drooping forehead, and deep sighs; or at the unappreciated great poet, whose prose- strains we have recorded?
10560Is it not plain, sir?"
10560Is it wonderful that not seldom her glance encountered Verty''s, and they exchanged smiles?
10560Is not that rational, sir?"
10560Is that right?
10560Is this a school for young ladies?"
10560Is this the only instance which has ever been known?
10560It did not slay him, however, and he only murmured wofully,"Do you mean Reddy has changed, then, ma''am?
10560It must be something strange-- or why do I feel as if to be friends was not enough?
10560It wants no present beyond this; for has it not what is greater still, the radiant and rosy future, with its splendid tints of joy and rapture?
10560It was infamous?
10560Lawbooks and papers are-- ahem!--very-- yes, exceedingly--""Dull?"
10560Let me see-- can''t I do something now?
10560Longears?
10560Love!--what is love?
10560Must I go now, sir?"
10560Need I repeat that in me you will find a friend of philosophic partiality and undue influence to repose your confidential secrets in?"
10560Nevertheless he soon recovers his powers of speech, and says:"But how is Roundjacket so bad?"
10560No more revenge?"
10560Not the lovely Sallianna-- the admirer of nature?
10560Observe how the syllogism comes out?"
10560Or should he go and challenge his enemy, Verty, and make his name glorious forever?
10560Pray, why?"
10560Ralph choked as he gazed at Mr. Jinks, and shaking with pent up laughter:"Ca n''t you find something, Jinks, for me to do?"
10560Ralph?"
10560Redbud laughed, and turning her white, tender face, to the dreamy, Verty said:"Are they not affectionate, Verty?"
10560Redbud looked at him with her soft, kind eyes, and said:"But you pray?"
10560Redbud looked gently at the young man, and replied:"I mean, she does not like any one to speak of it?"
10560Redbud returned his frank look, and said:"I''m very sorry, Verty; but never mind-- you read your Bible, do n''t you?"
10560Redbud returned his frank smile, and said, with a delicious little prim expression:"Did you want to see me very much, Verty?"
10560Redbud was gone-- why should he go near the place again?
10560Redbud, I am going to get some filberts-- will you have some?"
10560Redbud, have you a piece of paper?"
10560Roundjacket?"
10560Roundjacket?"
10560Shall I sing you one of our old songs?"
10560She therefore smiled, and still gently agitating the fan before Verty, repeated:"Have you and Redbud fallen out?"
10560Should he go on his handsome animal, and enact the little drama, which he had arranged in his mind, with Miss Sallianna at the Bower of Nature?
10560Should he, on this morning, advance to victory and revenge in that direction?
10560So he retreated?"
10560Splendor?
10560Suddenly a heavy hand was laid upon his shoulder, and a gruff, stern voice said:"What are you doing, sir?"
10560Take revenge, or marry the perfidious woman?
10560The jovial Squire laughed, and turning from Verty, with whom he had shaken hands, said to the lawyer:"Breakfast?--is it possible?
10560The poor stricken heart brimmed with its bitter and corroding agony; and, raising his head, the lawyer said, coldly:"Enough?
10560Then he added, aloud--"Why do you think you are in love with Redbud?"
10560Then he returned and took his seat, and with various gurglings of a mysterious nature in his throat, said:"You have a communication to make, Jinks?"
10560Then she raises her head and says--"How did you ever come to be the old Indian woman''s son, Verty?"
10560Trust in God?
10560Verty gazed at him for a moment in silence; then smiling:"What is the matter, sir?"
10560Verty on that occasion did the only artful thing which he ever accomplished-- but what will not a lover do?
10560Verty smiled, then looking at his companion, said:"What made you so cold to me when I came at first?
10560Verty stared at Miss Sallianna with great astonishment, and said:"My clothes?"
10560Verty took off his white fur hat, and made the lady a low bow, and said--"How do you do, Miss Lavinia?"
10560Verty?"
10560Verty?"
10560Verty?"
10560Verty?"
10560Was he a Delaware, and thus doomed to live in the forest with his old Indian mother-- or was he a white, in which case, he would leave her?
10560Was she not growing up, and even did she not wear long dresses?
10560Was such conduct in a lady of sixteen proper?
10560Was there any thing wrong in it-- would any one blame him?
10560Was this latter possible?
10560What am I?
10560What can I do but compose?"
10560What can I say of the little friend who made so many of my hours pure sunshine?
10560What character or human deed is too small or trivial for study?
10560What could that fault be?
10560What could the reason for this dislike possibly be?
10560What could this frigid manner with which she met him, mean;--why this cool and distant bow, in reply to his enthusiastic greeting?
10560What did it mean?
10560What did you hear, sir?"
10560What did you say his name was?
10560What do_ not_ young ladies at school discuss?
10560What does he hear?
10560What has induced you to presume in such a manner?"
10560What have you there?"
10560What is luck?"
10560What now, Jinks''?
10560What proof will you have?"
10560What say you?
10560What should he do?
10560What should he shoot at?
10560What thoughts occupy your mind, my dear fellow?"
10560What''s the fun?"
10560What''s the odds?"
10560What, at school, yonder?"
10560What, then, could be the meaning of all this?
10560Where are you going?"
10560Where have you been?"
10560Where, sir, did this conversation occur?"
10560Who laughs?
10560Who was Iliad, and what was Homer?"
10560Who wonders at such reasoning?
10560Who would have one?
10560Why not catch the laughter of those youthful lips, and tell how the young men and maidens amused themselves that fine autumn day?
10560Why not thus find the abode of one in whose society so much of his happiness consisted?
10560Why should I not?
10560Why should I?
10560Why should he not keep the bird until its wing was healed, and then observe the direction of its flight?
10560Why should he not love her?
10560Why should so good a man as Mr. Rushton, address such insulting and harsh words to him for such a trifling thing?
10560Why should there be anything offensive in raising the curtain of a portrait?
10560Why''small?''
10560Will he not discourse with rising and kindling eloquence upon everything connected with his Phillis?
10560Would Mr. Verty"inter?"
10560Would she excuse his not coming out?
10560Would you dream?
10560Would you have active life?
10560Would you have beauty, and a tender delicacy of outline and fine coloring?
10560Would you have strength and rude might?
10560Yes?
10560You recollect?"
10560You spoke of Williamsburg, and my deterioration of manners, did you not?"
10560You wo n''t expire for me, then?"
10560_ I_ ashamed?"
10560am I mad?
10560and you like him for that?"
10560asked Ralph--"is that what you mean?
10560asked Verty,"what is that?"
10560asked the poet,"who is Redbud, my young friend?
10560but I disappointed him; and when he said,"Shall they be sent to your office, sir?"
10560cried Fanny, looking out of the window, and not observing Redbud''s confusion;"but suppose_ my_ cavalier comes-- what then, madam?"
10560cried Fanny;"what''s the rest?
10560cried Miss Sallianna, forgetting her attitudes, and vigorously rubbing her nose;"did any body ever?"
10560cried Verty, rising half up, and resting on his hand,"why, what''s the harm?"
10560cried Verty,"do n''t you know old Scowley?"
10560cries Ralph, sending out a cloud of smoke,"what are you groaning about, my dear fellow?"
10560cries Verty;"but how can you keep a poor Indian boy from his hunting?
10560do n''t you see it?
10560do you call this office dull?
10560do you mean to say that the atmosphere of this mansion, this temple of Chancery, is not enlivening, sprightly, and anti- slumbrous?
10560he said, hoarsely;"where did you get it?"
10560he said, roughly,"what are you doing?"
10560he said, turning to the young girl with a frightened air,"am I dreaming?"
10560he said;"but are you an Indian, my young friend?"
10560how?"
10560is he sick?"
10560is it credible that a man of your sense should pay the sex so high a compliment?"
10560murmured Redbud, blushing;"like mamma?"
10560murmured Verty, who woke like a bird upon the boughs,"what was that,_ ma mere_?"
10560my dear Jinks,"he said, after bowing to Verty familiarly,"how did you get out of that scrape?
10560my young savage, why are you so sad?"
10560repeated Roundjacket;"did I?"
10560repeated the lawyer, angrily;"are you not aware, sir, that this is my private apartment?
10560said Mrs. Scowley, gazing at Verty with some astonishment--"what writing?"
10560said Ralph, laughing,"eh?"
10560said Ralph,"gammon,""Sir?"
10560said Ralph--"why not?"
10560said Redbud, smiling,"you see I was right, Mr. Ashley-- was I not?"
10560said Verty,"I''m very fond of apples-- but Redbud may have some, too?"
10560said the boy,"you do n''t mean sick?"
10560said the fair one, inserting the points of her fingers into Verty''s palm,"and Mr. Jinks was talking of me?
10560said the lady, with a patronizing air;"Reddy, do you know your lesson?"
10560said the young girl, smiling, as Verty''s eye fixed itself upon the blue sky intently;"I do n''t see anything-- do you?"
10560says Mr. Rushton;"what subject?"
10560sir-- will he carry double, do you think?"
10560some may say, what''s all this mock regret?
10560that fond old school attachment-- whether of boy or girl-- for the close friend of sunny hours; shall we laugh at it?
10560the great Jinks?
10560up at old Scowley''s?"
10560what are you doing there?"
10560what do you think, Verty, and you, Miss Redbud?"
10560what is it?
10560what''s the matter, my friend?"
10560when that very dog there had to balance himself in traversing the log?"
10560where is your business?"
10560will you show me the way?
10560you ought not to have said that about cousin Lavinia, Verty-- ought you?"
10560you will capture Verty, that roving bird?"
63389''Tain''t bad news, is it?
63389A colt?
63389A false charge?
63389A hoss, eh? 63389 A ranch?
63389After all, they could n''t separate us, could they?
63389Ai n''t you gettin''back from town early?
63389Ai n''t you got an awful lot of folks mixed up in that?
63389Ai n''t you herdin''them critters the wrong way, ma''am?
63389Ai n''t you the lady from Connecticut? 63389 All night?"
63389And Ludlum''s been gone out of here six weeks?
63389And now, Harry, how early in the morning can you be ready to start for Shoshone?
63389And pay him two dollars a day? 63389 And that''s what you think has happened to Rob?"
63389And where did you find, the hay? 63389 And you wo n''t see Garnett?
63389Another calf? 63389 Any chance to board at your place for a while, Holliday?"
63389Any one hurt? 63389 Anything we can do?
63389Apples, you said, did n''t you?
63389Are n''t those sheep?
63389Are n''t you going over to help Robinson?
63389Are n''t you ingenious, miss? 63389 Are we going to have money enough for all that,"Harry asked:"take up more land before we''ve got this planted?"
63389Are you going to take his word against mine? 63389 At Garnett?
63389Baled hay? 63389 Beef stew?"
63389Bobs, is that you?
63389Boykin? 63389 But how are we going to pay you?"
63389But what are we to do?
63389But what is she saying? 63389 But where do you keep the food and such things?
63389But why did n''t Mason come down to see you?
63389But why did n''t you take some land down here?
63389But why did they have to rush off so suddenly?
63389But why did they skin them?
63389But why did you have to keep it a secret?
63389But why have n''t they let us know they were here?
63389But wo n''t the cows and sheep get into the garden, spoil the hay or something?
63389But you could buy a few head, could n''t you?
63389But you''ll go down there and try to find something, wo n''t you?
63389But, Rob, where_ did_ Jones get Garnett''s horse? 63389 By the way, Garnett, how are we going?
63389Ca n''t something be done to stop him?
63389Ca n''t you folks sandwich those argyments in between the supper food? 63389 Ca n''t you hang me up this time?
63389Caught? 63389 Come in, wo n''t you?"
63389Could n''t you send one of the Robinson boys?
63389Did I say there was? 63389 Did n''t I gain anything?"
63389Did n''t happen to be Ludlum, did it?
63389Did n''t we, rather?
63389Did n''t we?
63389Did you bring in the horses?
63389Did you threaten to shoot Ludlum''s stock?
63389Different, eh?
63389Do n''t you get lonesome up in these hills, young lady?
63389Do n''t you know that we''d have to have a house to live in and a well? 63389 Do n''t you think we should round our critters up and count them?"
63389Do they think we''ve been stealing their critters?
63389Do we dare?
63389Do you really think there would be money in it?
63389Does anything ever happen out here, pleasant or otherwise?
63389Does he win, too?
63389Eh? 63389 For Rob and me for instance?"
63389For the land sakes, girlie,she exclaimed,"is it really you?
63389Foreclosed?
63389Got any fresh water there, Harry?
63389Had I?
63389Had he killed him?
63389Harry?... 63389 Has Boykin admitted he is Hunter, after all, or what?"
63389Have n''t they been doing pretty much the same, year after year?
63389Have they had the doctor, do you know?
63389Have you proved up yet?
63389He attacked another man?
63389He can ride, ca n''t he, Bobs?
63389He did n''t want to see me?
63389He is? 63389 He''s sold a good many of those he had here, has n''t he?"
63389Hello, what''s doing?
63389Hey?
63389Hey?
63389How about feedin''the critters?
63389How about the fellow that is working against us?
63389How can we?
63389How do you expect me to ranch without her to ride the fences for me, I''d like to know?
63389How do you like Idaho?
63389How do, Mr. Holliday? 63389 How do?
63389How ever did it happen, though?
63389How far is it? 63389 How in the world am I ever to go after a doctor?"
63389How long have you been here, if I may ask? 63389 How on earth did you know they''d gone?"
63389How soon are we going, Bobby?
63389How you know they''re yours?
63389How?
63389I ai n''t the only fella that takes a short cut through here, am I?
63389I appreciate it immensely; but what will your husband think?
63389I hope they''ve some children?
63389I hope you ai n''t a- cussing me still?
63389I suppose he''s here, is n''t he, waiting to take over my herd?
63389I suppose you know that this land has been filed on?
63389I think I ought to go over, do n''t you?
63389I wonder if you''ll do me a favor?
63389I wonder when Jones will get back?
63389I wonder whether Joe was hurt worse than they wanted to say,Rob remarked to Harry, and then called out,"Hi, there, Biane; need any help?
63389I wonder whether it was ours? 63389 If I were you, Mr. Jones, and you were I, and I saw you in this fix, do you know what I''d do?
63389If Joyce sees us on the road, wo n''t he suspect where we''re going?
63389In a free range country? 63389 Is Rob to home?"
63389Is it?
63389Is n''t there some other place near by?
63389Is that it? 63389 Is that so, Harry?"
63389Is that the Portugee girl you''re talking about?
63389Is there a house there or not, Garnett?
63389Is there time to put up another load before we eat?
63389Isita can go to school just the same, ca n''t she? 63389 It''s going to be pretty hard for you to make anything on your cattle this year, then, ai n''t it?
63389Jones, you mean? 63389 Just get in?"
63389Keep up the fire, wo n''t you?
63389Land sakes, girlie, go all that distance just to fetch me some salve? 63389 Long?
63389Ludlum? 63389 Me?
63389Mother sent me to ask you-- have you got something for a-- a cut? 63389 Name Hunter?"
63389Not a Mex?
63389Now if I were an architect and you had a million dollars to spend we''d show these old timers, would n''t we?
63389Now that we''re home, Miss Harry,she said,"could n''t I set the table for supper?
63389Now what can they want?
63389Now, Joe, I want first to know whether you are acting on the authority of your parents to control Isita during school hours?
63389Now, where''s your paper?
63389Oh, how?
63389Oh, will you really drive me?
63389Oh,he said slowly,"so you got along all right, did you?
63389Oh,she cried breathlessly,"you remember that herder you told not to come in here?
63389On the train?
63389One of those you were telling me he was keeping?
63389Only twenty- five a ton? 63389 Ought n''t the baby to have something more on?"
63389Our train?
63389Poachers?
63389Rob ai n''t to home?
63389Rob, do all the cowboys dress in that-- well, shabby sort of way?
63389Rob, who is that up there?
63389Rob-- who could have done it? 63389 Robert Holliday live here?"
63389Saving up to get you an auto?
63389Say, Rob,Garnett drawled,"ai n''t you ever heard of a man with one pet cow havin''her die on him?"
63389Say, Smoot,suggested Rob,"ca n''t you go over to Kenny''s and tell''em to send round a tray of grub?"
63389Say, you ai n''t alone, are you? 63389 Seen any strays round here, ma''am?"
63389Shall we make it eight o''clock in the morning, then?
63389So you got here at last, did you?
63389So you got here first?
63389Strays? 63389 That ai n''t all you''ve got, is it?"
63389That you, Holliday? 63389 That''s all right, but I do n''t see any lying round here, do you?"
63389That''s nice of him, is n''t it? 63389 The colts?
63389The doctor? 63389 Them men folks comin''?"
63389This Holliday''s ranch?
63389This all the beans you''ve got, sis?
63389This is a dinner party, you no savvy?
63389Thought what?
63389Tired?
63389Trained?
63389Want I should get you one?
63389Was he afoot?
63389Was that a cowboy, Rob?
63389We got the vilyan, but who''s the hero?
63389Well, anyhow, if they''re yours legally, why ca n''t you go down and prevent Grant from selling them?
63389Well, come to fetch me my dog?
63389Well, how did they know where to find them? 63389 What about Jones?
63389What can have happened? 63389 What cattle?"
63389What did I tell you?
63389What did you really expect?
63389What do I care for your''methods''? 63389 What do ye mean, Holliday, by keepin''this sister of yours hid out in these here hills all summer?"
63389What do you want, Isita, dear?
63389What is it, Isita?
63389What is it, boy?
63389What is it? 63389 What is it?"
63389What is it?
63389What more I need? 63389 What must Bobby think of me?"
63389What on earth do you want Biane''s girl here for?
63389What right have outsiders to ship stock in here? 63389 What rules give you the claim on any of us to go your errands?"
63389What were they doing here?
63389What''ll be finished?
63389What''s a''Mex''?
63389What''s happened to these scrub cows?
63389What''s happened, Isita?
63389What''s happened?
63389What''s he goin''to do here, anyhow?
63389What''s that about Scotchmen?
63389What''s that to you? 63389 What''s that to you?"
63389What''s that? 63389 What''s the herd law got to do with lettin''the sheep in?
63389What''s the hurry?
63389What''s the matter now? 63389 What''s the matter?"
63389What''s the reason they ca n''t ship baled hay in here?
63389What''s the reason they will?
63389What''s the use of talking like that? 63389 What?
63389What?
63389What_ is_ he talking about?
63389When did the cow get out?
63389When did you get in?
63389Where do you want''em?
63389Where shall we put the house? 63389 Where''d you get that pup?"
63389Where''s the ink, Harry?
63389Who saw me shooting?
63389Who takes care of them?
63389Who took them? 63389 Who you hatin''so hard?"
63389Who''s filed on it?
63389Who''s that coming?
63389Who''s that?
63389Who''s that?
63389Who''s that?
63389Who''s the scissorbill you fellows been listenin''to? 63389 Who?"
63389Whose cattle are they?
63389Whose horses are those?
63389Why are they so unfriendly? 63389 Why ca n''t he stick where he is until we get there?
63389Why could n''t I have kept her here?
63389Why could n''t they drive their cattle down there? 63389 Why did n''t her mother want her to come?"
63389Why did n''t you come back the next day and ask my brother about your horse?
63389Why do n''t you get a bigger herd to start with?
63389Why do you offer it if it''s so big? 63389 Why does n''t she come first?
63389Why have n''t you taken it up before?
63389Why not kill them?
63389Why not? 63389 Why not?
63389Why not?
63389Why on earth did n''t you send some of these things to the county fair last fall?
63389Why should he? 63389 Why you not tell miss how much you like to work, eh?"
63389Why, is n''t it just as cheap to make a lace veil as a flour sack? 63389 Why, my little lady, do you think your herd law is going to keep us stockmen, with thousands of critters to feed, out of these hills?
63389Why, what do you mean?
63389Will dinner be ready by twelve, sis?
63389Will you leave a little package at the Robinsons''for me? 63389 Will you open the gate for me?"
63389With one cow or with credit?
63389With steers selling at thirty and calves at fifteen, and me with only three hundred cash in the bank? 63389 Wo n''t you come down to the house now and talk to Rob?"
63389Would n''t the young lady like a chair?
63389Would n''t twenty- five make it up to you? 63389 Would n''t you like to put this on?
63389Yes?
63389You ai n''t got no horses of your own here that mine could ha''got in with?
63389You ai n''t likin''it real well, are you?
63389You an agent for the Twin Falls''tract?
63389You are n''t going up there?
63389You ca n''t be sure that these fellows will not find out; and if you can say that-- see?
63389You can hang on a while, ca n''t you, until Rob gets back? 63389 You do n''t charge for drinks now, account of the new fixings, do you?"
63389You do n''t know where your brother''s homestead is, do you?
63389You have n''t heard the bank''s busted?
63389You heard me, eh? 63389 You personally acquainted-- that is, you know Ludlum?"
63389You see? 63389 You think we can do it?"
63389You want me to post this?
63389You was n''t cal''latin''to make them into a pie without bilin''''em first? 63389 You wish to speak to me?"
63389You''ll never forgive that, will you?
63389You''re from the East, then?
63389You-- you wo n''t come back at night?
63389You? 63389 Your brother down at the tent yonder?"
63389Yours?
63389--You reckon you could take me with''em, with them dishes, break me in with''em for yours?...
63389A playhouse?"
63389About how old is he?"
63389After all, what was the use of breaking into his morning''s toil with her story?
63389Ai n''t I seen you before?"
63389Ai n''t I seen''em back home on the spare- room bed?
63389Ai n''t it kind of sudden that you''ve found that out?
63389Ai n''t that right, Pa?"
63389Ai n''t we starved all summer?
63389Ai n''t you got it a little wet, mebbe?"
63389Ai n''t you got no canned goods?"
63389Ai n''t you putting it pretty strong?"
63389And Garnett?
63389And how can we ever round''em up again?"
63389And if we''re not the kind of people you want round here, if you do n''t like us, why do you come up here?
63389And if,"she added to herself as he rounded the butte,"if we ca n''t get hay-- what then?"
63389And where is Jones now?
63389And your hay?
63389Anything happened to him?"
63389Anything in particular you''d like, Miss Holliday?"
63389Anything that Rob might have said would have sounded like a reproach, and of what use, he thought, would that have been now?
63389Are n''t they awful?
63389Are n''t we?"
63389Are you dead certain?
63389Are you onto your job, sis?"
63389At how much?"
63389Beans, Jones?
63389But I''m not going to give up now, would you?"
63389But do n''t you want to eat your own suppers?"
63389But have n''t I been making wages haying and harvesting, besides what I had in the bank?"
63389But how soon can we find out?"
63389But if he did n''t do it, who did?
63389But the scrubs-- was that the way scrubs always looked?
63389But what could be expected when he had lived so long among these rough Westerners?
63389Ca n''t you see that your profit is in standing with us?
63389Can I help?"
63389Can one of the boys tend the stock while I''m gone?
63389Can you send to town for me?"
63389Come in, wo n''t you?"
63389Come on, then?"
63389Could he have had a sunstroke?
63389Could he not take even that small number without saying"if"?
63389Could he?
63389Could it have been hunters camping up above?"
63389Could n''t they send him a wife to keep his house along with the rest of it?"
63389Did he get the six months he deserved?"
63389Did n''t I live in the sheep wagon, too, for a year, until we got ahead enough to build us a shack?
63389Did n''t I ride clear to Shoshone once behind a wagonload of them''sportsmen,''a gun in my fist ready to drop the first guy that lifted his eyebrow?
63389Did n''t Ludlum prove it when he tried to sneak your homestead away from you?
63389Did n''t he tell you?"
63389Did n''t my brother tell you not to feed down here?
63389Did she?"
63389Did the heifers go, too?"
63389Did you bring that bill of sale?"
63389Did you get enough to pay Ludlum?"
63389Did you get hay?"
63389Did you hear that, Ludlum?
63389Did you say you had the garlic in those beans?
63389Did you want anything special?"
63389Do n''t you see?
63389Do you dare?"
63389Do you know when he went out?"
63389Do you know when he''ll be home?"
63389Do you think I would steal?"
63389Do you think they were stolen?"
63389Eh?
63389Eh?"
63389Eh?"
63389Eh?"
63389Ever hear the Robinsons tell about that winter, you two?"
63389Fine neighbors, were n''t they?
63389For the winter, you mean?"
63389Forty miles by wagon?
63389Goin''to card and quilt it yourself?"
63389Got here safely, did you?"
63389Got your traps?
63389Had she only imagined that other sound?
63389Had the pony stumbled and thrown him?
63389Harry was wondering whether she ought to tell Garnett that Rob was in jail, when his voice made her start guiltily:"Your brother been gone long?"
63389Has she actually escaped?"
63389Has your mother persuaded your father?"
63389Have any trouble getting through?"
63389Have n''t sold out, have you?"
63389Have you, now?"
63389He glanced at Harriet and said quick and low to Rob:"Can I speak to you?"
63389He started out after the cow-- You did n''t hear of her, did you?"
63389He''ll be there until then, wo n''t he?
63389Hear that?
63389Hello, that you, Doc?
63389Hey?"
63389His derisive grin widened; he looked at the calf and inquired,"Lost another critter, have you?"
63389Holliday did n''t tell you that, did he?
63389Holliday?"
63389Holliday?"
63389Homestead?
63389Honest, now?
63389Horses, you mean?"
63389How about it?"
63389How can I ever do it?"
63389How can you let it go so cheap?"
63389How could she go into the story here, at this time of night?
63389How could they hide so quickly without flying?
63389How did his case come out?
63389How did you get out?
63389How do I know?
63389How do we know that Ludlum is n''t paying that fellow to stand out against the herd law?"
63389How do you know?"
63389How do you like it?"
63389How is your hand this morning?"
63389How many hundred of barley and wheat and oats will it take to winter the stock on, I wonder?"
63389How much you need?"
63389How much, child?"
63389How would that appeal to a haying crew?
63389How''ll you know whether there''s herders with''em or not?"
63389How-- I thought-- Don''t the Eldredges live here?"
63389Howdy, Joyce?
63389I do n''t quite see how, do you?"
63389I suppose I must go by way of Soldier?"
63389I wonder what he changed his name for?
63389I wonder whether anything can be wrong-- whether he arrested Jones?"
63389I''ll bet right now you wanted to put that extra cash into beef, did n''t you?
63389I''ll bet you did n''t cal''late to hit the hard pan when you come, neither?"
63389If you ca n''t remember, how do you expect me to?"
63389In profound silence the earth waited; for what?
63389In this hot sun?"
63389Is Isita here?"
63389Is Mr. Ludlum round?"
63389Is it safe to go away like this and leave it all open?"
63389Is n''t he?"
63389Is n''t she the best, though?
63389Is n''t that what you''ve been wanting?"
63389Is n''t there a law against trespassing now, and against shooting out of season?"
63389Is n''t this horrible?"
63389Is there a shack near by where we can live?"
63389Is there any message you wish to leave?"
63389Is your father here?"
63389It was comin''up in the train, was n''t it?
63389It''ll take more''n losing a bunch of stock to make you knock under, wo n''t it?
63389It''s all right, ai n''t it?"
63389It''s kind of mean to ask a fellow to onhitch, but there''s accidents happen to all of us, ai n''t there?"
63389It''s nearly midnight, do you know it?
63389Joe all right this morning?"
63389Jones did n''t tell that fellow exactly where they were, did he?"
63389Just east of you?
63389Just move them along the fence so I can count them, will you?"
63389Lay the young one down and get it for me, will you?"
63389Like''s not Ludlum''d try to help you locate your stock; he''s right helpful, mebbe you''ve noticed?
63389Little girl?"
63389Of course anything that Rob took an interest in was all right; but_ why did he keep it a secret from her_?
63389Ought she not to have ignored everything outside of Isita''s actual school work?
63389Our springs were never known to fail, now, were they?
63389Portugee Joe?
63389Put me up a lunch, will you, sis, while I''m saddling the pony?"
63389Remember?"
63389Robinson?"
63389Say,"she added,"you could n''t stay a week and cook for me while these boys are here, could you?"
63389See that tent up there?"
63389See?"
63389Shall I start breaking them in now?"
63389She was silent a moment; then, curiosity overcoming her reserve, she asked,"Have you any idea how much farther it is to Shoshone?"
63389So you''re homesteadin'', are you?
63389So, instead of telling Rob about Garnett, she said,"That''s a pretty good pony, is n''t it?
63389So,''Sita?"
63389Suppose that sorrel horse should prove to have the ring- and- arrow brand?
63389Suppose they should run away?
63389That so, Sally Gardner?
63389That?"
63389The hogs down bothering you again?
63389The silhouette of a horseman showed against the sky, and a voice called,"This Holliday''s?"
63389The way Jones happened to have him was this: You remember Garnett said he''d lost him?
63389Then whar''ll you be?"
63389Then you have n''t a real farm?"
63389There was something familiar to her in his dark- eyed face; and when he said,"Is Mr. Holliday here?
63389There''s a good twenty- five skins in the bunch, and you did n''t lose more''n a dozen critters all told, did you?"
63389There''s been no horse stealing round here since that gang was rounded up last spring-- just when you came, you remember?
63389This time of night?"
63389Those your cows down yonder?"
63389To herself she added,"Who are you, anyhow?"
63389Too late for you to be chasin''back there alone to- night, ai n''t it, ma?"
63389Was it a regular stock buyer or a rancher?"
63389Was it his standing by them in all their difficulties that had helped his prophetic words come true?
63389Was it only two months ago that she had followed the same road into the unknown, curious and interested as a child?
63389Was it really another day?
63389Was it really fear of the coming winter that was driving the Bianes away?
63389Was n''t it by coming over to bring me that bill that you found out all about Boykin Hunter and the chance to contest his filing?"
63389Was n''t that all right, you''ll say?
63389Were n''t you lonely?"
63389Were they going to be caught now?
63389What are you doing up here at this time of year, anyhow?
63389What can he do?"
63389What could be keeping him?
63389What did Raeburn say?"
63389What did he mean by saying"of course"she wanted to save the calf?
63389What difference does that make?"
63389What do you mean, Rob Holliday?
63389What do you want?"
63389What does it all mean?
63389What does the doctor say?"
63389What good is Ludlum''s good will going to do you?
63389What has happened to you, dear?
63389What has happened?
63389What has he to do with it?"
63389What is he saying?"
63389What is it?
63389What is it?"
63389What is she afraid of?"
63389What must I do?
63389What on earth for?
63389What ought she to do?
63389What should I do for clothes and things?
63389What sort of a looking fellow is he?"
63389What time did you want to start?"
63389What time does your train leave?"
63389What was the name of that old skinflint?"
63389What will Jones say when he finds those colts are gone?
63389What will that mean, Rob?"
63389What will you do with your stock?
63389What would any one start shooting up a herd at night for?
63389What you doin''out here alone?
63389What''s doin''?"
63389What''s doin''here?"
63389What''s started you off?
63389What''s that?
63389What''s the complaint now?"
63389What''s the use of Rob''s goin''for the mail so often if he do n''t pick up the home- brewed news that''s layin''out in the street over to Soldier?"
63389What''s the use of all this talkin''?
63389What''s the use of buying hay, of getting in any deeper, if we''re not sure of our grazing every year?
63389What, Harry asked herself, could Rob do singlehanded against that inert opponent?
63389What, she wondered, had Mrs. Robinson done for a pantry when she had started housekeeping in her one- room"shack"?
63389When Biane skipped the country, did n''t that turn my hundred tons back on me?
63389When all was complete and they stood off to take a final view of the table, Isita said quietly,"That''s the way it looks for Thanksgiving, ai n''t it?
63389When did you come?
63389Where are you going?"
63389Where are you going?"
63389Where are you heading for up here alone?"
63389Where do we go?"
63389Where is she?"
63389Where''d we be ourselves?"
63389Where''s Joyce now?"
63389Where''s Rob at?
63389Where''s he at?"
63389Where''s your brother at?"
63389Which is the shortest way to Hailey?
63389Who could keep house without a pantry?
63389Who is it?"
63389Who that had heard could forget?
63389Who would not be-- owner of 160 acres, and master of his own toil?
63389Who''d steal a few blankets and grub?
63389Who''s got the best right to it-- them capitalists, or us?
63389Who?"
63389Why could n''t you come over and help me at haying and harvesting?
63389Why did n''t Isita tell me before?
63389Why did n''t you bring him along to prove all this?"
63389Why do n''t you keep your forty?"
63389Why does n''t he come and take care of his own stock?"
63389Why is n''t it just as cheap to make a pretty cottage of the same amount of wood?"
63389Why not stay overnight?"
63389Why not?"
63389Why should she feel guilty because Rob was concealing something from her?
63389Why they''re the stuff it''s made of, are n''t they?
63389Why was there no way of getting part of that feed on the prairie?
63389Why were you always so poor?
63389Why, did n''t she go to shootin''at me with a rifle the other day because I''d clumb over their fence to pick up a grouse I''d winged?
63389Why, how''s that?
63389Why, what do you live in now?"
63389Why?
63389Why?"
63389Why?"
63389Will you, dear?
63389Wo n''t you come in?"
63389Wo n''t you see Garnett?
63389Would Rob, down in the Snake River country where the weather was still warm, remember that up in the hills winter was very near?
63389Would he go back to raisin''one calf on a bottle?
63389Would it be possible?"
63389Would n''t I make all kinds of money?"
63389You are n''t going to start out to- day?
63389You are n''t mad at him any longer?"
63389You can live in a tent for a while, ca n''t you?"
63389You could n''t look, could you, girlie?
63389You do n''t for a moment think he would, do you?"
63389You do n''t think she would object, do you, Isita?"
63389You do n''t want her to die, do you?"
63389You getting off there?
63389You goin''to stick it out the three years?"
63389You heard that, did you?"
63389You know I would of, do n''t you?"
63389You know what he''d ought to have done?
63389You need groceries, do n''t you?"
63389You onderstand?
63389You reckon you could----""What, Chris?"
63389You remember, do n''t you?"
63389You say your brother is staying over in Hailey to talk things over with Judge Raeburn?
63389You see those hills we''re climbing up to?
63389You take that off,''Sita, d''you hear?"
63389You up?"
63389You wa''n''t raised out here, I judge, ma''am?"
63389You''ll need all you bought for your own stock, wo n''t you?"
63389You''re all beat out,''ai n''t you?
63389You''re easy, ai n''t you?"
63389You''re going into stock, are you?
63389You''re kinda mean, too, ai n''t you?"
63389You''re not wintering here?
63389You''ve been over it?"
63389You''ve had good luck?"
63389Your renters have quit, have n''t they?
63389|||+-------------------------------------------------+ HOMESTEAD RANCH[ Illustration:"TIRED?"
6013''Cause why? 6013 ''Tain''t ever''day they get a chance to see a murderer, is it?"
6013A lantern up in the woods?
6013A salute?
6013About you and Barry?
6013After the Revere came in?
6013Ai n''t yo''all feelin''well, Marse Kenneth?
6013Ain''t-- ain''t de co''n- bread fitten to eat, suh?
6013Am I not to see you in the new dress?
6013Am I to understand, sir, that you are referring to my friend as a horse- thief?
6013And if I say that I could not ask her to marry me, would that prove anything to you?
6013And there is nothing more you have to tell me?
6013And what may that be?
6013And what would you do if I were not your brother?
6013And why should n''t I? 6013 And you have told Kenneth all this?"
6013And you want to know where I stand in the matter?
6013Are you forgetting how unhappy it will make her if you marry Barry Lapelle?
6013Are you going to keep me standing here in the mud and slush all day?
6013Are you mixed up with him in this stock- running business?
6013Are you speaking of my old home in Salem or of-- of another place?
6013Are you sure that no one else knows that she is not his daughter?
6013Are you what you claim to be?
6013But supposin''I wuz starvin''to death an''I stole a ham like Bud Gridley did last fall when his pa an''ma wuz sick, would n''t that be self- defence? 6013 But who is going to tell her that, may I ask, Rachel Carter?"
6013But you didn''t-- you did n''t, you see,--so what is the use of worrying about it now?
6013But, mother, I am not sure,--how can you say that I am in love with him when I do n''t know it myself?
6013But-- what of her?
6013By the way, Mr. Gwynne, have you ever fought a duel?
6013By the way, has Isaac Stain told you much about himself?
6013By the way, is he riding his own horse?
6013By the way, what is the population of Lafayette?
6013By the way, why is she turning against her father like this?
6013Ca n''t you arrange it for to- morrow morning?
6013Ca n''t you tell me something more about father''s people?
6013Call brother Kenny? 6013 Certainly he could,--but why?
6013Could n''t he have landed almost anywhere in a skiff?
6013Could your mother very well carry out her threat if he made off with you by force and compelled you to marry him, whether or no?
6013Day after to- morrow morning, you say?
6013Dey all got dere warpaint on an''dere tommyhawks--"How come Marse Kenneth he don''know nuffin''''bout all dis?
6013Did he reply in courteous terms or was he testy and out of sorts? 6013 Did he tell this to any one except you and your father?"
6013Did he tell you that he struck Barry Lapelle?
6013Did n''t he pass here within the hour?
6013Did she say anything about my coming to see her daughter?
6013Did you find the house all right?
6013Did you know his mother?
6013Did you know my father, too?
6013Did you not hear me say that Simon Braley would never be taken alive?
6013Did you sleep well?
6013Do n''t you expect ever to get married?
6013Do n''t you think it odd? 6013 Do n''t you think you''d better go over an''take a look around the jail first?"
6013Do n''t you think you''d better let it come from somebody else, Phin?
6013Do you cure it yourself or does it come up the river from Kentucky?
6013Do you know anything about a friend of his who is going to be married soon? 6013 Do you know what it is to steal?
6013Do you reckon anybody is listenin''?
6013Do you remember a man at home named Jasper Suggs?
6013Do you s''pose Pa will know how to find me, grandma?
6013Do you think he will resist the sheriff? 6013 Do you think he''ll go?"
6013Does Lapelle know that Martin is in jail?
6013Does he claim to have known any of my family down there?
6013Does it look like it when I come rushing out here with two loaded pistols and come near to shooting you? 6013 Does she know that she is not my father''s daughter?"
6013Don''yo''know''nough to go in out''n de rain?
6013Even though the law might say she is not entitled to it?
6013Fo''de lan''s sake,the latter blurted out as he listened to his master''s orders;"is yo''all gwine to eat another breakfast?"
6013For heaven''s sake, Viola,he cried in pain,"what can have put such a thought into your head?
6013Forgotten?
6013From Crawfordsville way?
6013From a knife wound?
6013From all I hear, Mrs. Gwyn would have a hard time provin''it was him as stole her--"Supposin''she did prove it, what then?
6013Go to him and beg him to be merciful? 6013 Gone to bed?"
6013Gone?
6013Hain''t you skeert at the sight o''blood, ma''am? 6013 Has Kenny Gwynne anything to do with all this?"
6013Has he been talking to you about me?
6013Has he ever seen you, Kenneth Gwynne?
6013Has mother come home?
6013Have n''t you had your breakfast?
6013Have you another frock to put on, Moll?
6013Have you any idea at all what time she left the house?
6013Have you been over at his house, Viola?
6013Have you been up to the house, Barry?
6013Have you ever asked anybody?
6013Have you got it down?
6013Have you seen our dog? 6013 He knows?
6013He says his name is Suggs?
6013Hit''s my look- out, ai n''t it?
6013Hitten a tree not more''n ten foot from where Ah wuz--"Hain''t yo''all got no sense at all, nigger?
6013Horse- thieves?
6013How are you two gettin''along?
6013How can you be sure of that, sir, if you did not witness the deed with your own eyes?
6013How can you say such a thing?
6013How could I?
6013How dare you?
6013How dat, suh?
6013How long after she died were you and father married?
6013How long had you known this man Suggs, Moll?
6013How many times do I have to tell you, Phin Striker, not to come in this here kitchen without wipin''your feet? 6013 How old are you?"
6013I do n''t believe you have been paying any attention to what-- Now, tell me, what WAS the last thing we were talking about?
6013I guess you have found out what kind of a temper I have, have n''t you?
6013I mean about stealin''Miss Violy Gwyn an''takin''her away with him?
6013I suppose you imagine there could be no worse fate than that?
6013I was wondering whether you would come out at this--"Ca n''t you see I am trying to avoid you?
6013I''m a liar, am I?
6013I''ve been out to the barn and-- Why, what ails you, Kenneth?
6013If you ai n''t, what are you fixin''yourself up fer?
6013If you are both so curious, why not arrange a meeting?
6013Is Miss Viola at home?
6013Is Wabash an Indian name?
6013Is dis Mistah Gwynne, suh?
6013Is it beca''se of whut I asked Ike Stain to tell ye?
6013Is it your purpose to hang out your shingle in the town of Lafayette?
6013Is it-- is it you, Robert? 6013 Is that so?
6013Is this your verdict?
6013Is yo''gwine to stop dere, Marse Kenneth?
6013It does n''t look much like it now, does it?
6013It is all over between you?
6013It is not likely that she would have asked the advice of a total stranger, is it? 6013 It is pretty hard luck, is n''t it?
6013It was all arranged?
6013It would be rather stupid of me, do n''t you think, to have him arrested?
6013Jasper Suggs? 6013 Kenny?
6013Kenny?
6013Leaving town?
6013Matter with them? 6013 May I beg you to refrain from putting your own judgment of him into words?
6013May I have a word with you, mother?
6013May I have a word with you?
6013May I not stand up for a little while?
6013Meaning, I suppose, that you considered me a trifle tipsy, eh?
6013Mr. Sheriff, will you take the stand for a moment? 6013 Noises?
6013Not your brother? 6013 Now, let me see: do n''t you think I ought to have a clock for the mantelpiece?"
6013Oh, Barry, wo n''t you ever--"Drunk? 6013 Oh, Barry, you-- you surely ca n''t be thinking of asking Kenneth to intercede--""Why not?
6013Oh, Kenny, you-- you really believed they were out there,--a crowd of them,--trying to carry me off? 6013 Oh, what is the use of talking about the impossible?"
6013Oh, wo n''t you take me along with you? 6013 Or how near I came to shooting him?"
6013Over night?
6013Phineas Striker?
6013Puritanical, eh?
6013Rachel who?
6013Rainin''? 6013 Ready for what business?"
6013Recognize''em?
6013Say, Viola,came an impatient shout from Barry Lapelle,"are you going to take all day?"
6013Say, when did you get this idea into your head?
6013Shall I say it for you?
6013She actually had planned to run away with this man Lapelle?
6013She ran off with a married man?
6013She-- she tole yo''about-- about dat Craffordsville nigger?
6013So you are moving up to your house to- day, are you? 6013 Soon as she is out of the house you scoot over to big brother Kenny''s, eh?
6013That you, Striker?
6013That''ll make a new man of him, wo n''t it, Doc?
6013The girl I saw last night was-- Minda?
6013Then what he sez wuz true?
6013Then why did you leave word for me to come to your house to see you?
6013Then you ARE Kenneth Gwynne?
6013Then you hain''t goin''to let him have your girl, air you?
6013Then, for goodness''sake, why have you kept me waiting all this time?
6013Then, how do you know that no one will have you?
6013Then, she is not my half- sister?
6013Then, whut did you warn him to git away fer?
6013Then, you WOULD be willing to take Viola as your wife?
6013Then, you knew about it before I told you?
6013Then, you know where she is?
6013This afternoon, Kenny?
6013Want me fer anything?
6013Was he dead?
6013Was her mother any worse than my father? 6013 Was there anything else?"
6013Water?
6013Well, den, why is yo''glad Ah come up yere to live?
6013Well, did n''t I tell you how happy it made me?
6013Well, how would you like to go out with us a little later on for ducks?
6013Well, then, my dear sister,--surely you can not expect me to address you as Miss Gwyn?
6013Well, what have you been telling her?
6013Well, what is your own opinion?
6013Well, what of it?
6013Well, you had taken something aboard, had n''t you?
6013Well, you know that Indians and gipsies steal little boys, do n''t you? 6013 Well, you remember what I was jest sayin''about women,--how sot they are in their ways concarnin''a man?
6013Well,--whut ef I do?
6013Well?
6013Well?
6013Wha''yo''all talkin''about?
6013What about that other business? 6013 What are you driving at, Jack?"
6013What are you goin''to do? 6013 What are you talking about?
6013What are you talking about?
6013What did he say to you out there?
6013What did he tell you?
6013What did you mean by a pack of ruffians?
6013What do I know about carpets?
6013What do you mean by that, Barry Lapelle?
6013What do you mean?
6013What do you mean?
6013What do you mean?
6013What do you want?
6013What else could make me feel as I do now,--as I did when you were holding me,--and kissing me? 6013 What fer sort of lookin''man was he?"
6013What for? 6013 What is it you want to say to me about Barry?"
6013What is it you want, Kenneth Gwynne?
6013What is it, mother?
6013What is it?
6013What is that you are saying?
6013What is the matter, Kenny?
6013What is this you are saying?
6013What is your object? 6013 What on earth are you talking about?
6013What other fool nigger?
6013What put it there? 6013 What the hellfire are you laughing at?"
6013What time do you start?
6013What turned you back, Barry?
6013What was he like?
6013What was that you called him?
6013What were you saying?
6013What yo''all so skeert o''lightnin''fo''? 6013 What''s happened?"
6013What''s takin''you to Clark''s Point? 6013 What''s that got to do with the case?
6013What''s that, Zachariah?
6013What''s the use''n that? 6013 When did he tell you?"
6013When did your own mother die, if it''s a fair question?
6013Where are the women?
6013Where did you first meet father?
6013Where did you spend the night?
6013Where do you come from?
6013Where have I heard that name before? 6013 Where is Miss Viola?"
6013Where is Viola?
6013Where is your mother?
6013Where the devil have you been keepin''yourself? 6013 Where was her mother all this time?"
6013Where was the dog?
6013Where-- where is she?
6013Which way was it movin''?
6013Who are you, and what do you want?
6013Who are you?
6013Who else could there be? 6013 Who inflicted that wound, if you know?"
6013Who says I stole sheep?
6013Who told you about Barry Lapelle and me?
6013Why are you telling me all this?
6013Why did Isaac Stain go to you instead of coming to me?
6013Why did he tell you?
6013Why did n''t he kill her and get away?
6013Why do n''t you want to talk to me? 6013 Why do you ask?"
6013Why does n''t Kenneth spell his name as we do?
6013Why have you told me all this?
6013Why should you presume to make such a remark to me?
6013Why, dodgast it, you do n''t suppose I''m going to pay that feller any money, do you? 6013 Why, how could I dispossess her?
6013Will you accept a bit of advice from me?
6013Will you be kind enough to tell me what your object is in asking me these questions?
6013Will you be seated first, madam?
6013Will you come over and help me put all these things where they belong?
6013Will you have the paper ready for me to sign this afternoon?
6013Will you keep in touch with me?
6013Will you please tell me what you are talking about, Kenneth Gwynne?
6013Will you sit down, or do you prefer to remain standing in my house, Kenneth Gwynne?
6013Will you take my hand,--just this once, boy?
6013With you? 6013 Wo n''t you have this chair now?"
6013Would it interest you to know that Mr. Lapelle has engaged in several, with disastrous results to his adversaries?
6013Would you ask her to be your wife if the time should ever come when she knows the truth?
6013Would you believe me if I told you the man lied, Moll Hawk?
6013Yes?
6013Yes?
6013Yes?
6013You are not going to do all that now, are you?
6013You are sure he did not tell your father?
6013You are sure,--absolutely positive about all this?
6013You are sure?
6013You are very kind, Mr.--Did you say Striker?
6013You did, eh?
6013You do n''t?
6013You do not cast me out of your heart? 6013 You have ended it, Viola?"
6013You mean about last night''s adventure?
6013You mean you will urge them to leave Lafayette forever?
6013You mean,--that you will send the sheriff out to arrest him?
6013You mean-- you mean you would let me starve,--your own daughter? 6013 You say Martin''s in jail for stealing?"
6013You tole him to git away to- night?
6013You were at Phineas Striker''s last night?
6013You will never forget that either, will you, Kenneth?
6013You will never forget that, will you?
6013You will not fight her right, her claim to my estate?
6013You would not have them otherwise, would you?
6013You''re my girl, are n''t you? 6013 You''ve got the purtiest hair in all the--""How does it look?"
6013You-- you are going to tell me it''s all over between us, Viola?
6013You-- you do n''t want to hold my hand in yours, do you?
6013You-- you have lost-- I mean, you are in mourning for some one?
6013''Ca''se why?
6013''Cause why?
6013''Honour thy father and--''how does the rest of it go, my lad?"
6013''Pears to me the worst is over, do n''t you reckon so?"
6013''Pusillanimous varlet,''--and''mendacious scalawag''?
6013A leetle mo''coffee, suh?
6013A place to lay my head, a roof to keep the rain off, and a generous host-- what more can the wayfarer ask?"
6013A regiment of soldiers?"
6013Affecting grave solicitude, he inquired:"Is there any one here that you would particularly desire as a sister- in- law?"
6013After a moment her mother said, quite calmly:"Oh, it''s you, is it?
6013After a while, she spoke, and there was a note of despair in her voice:"What is to become of us, Kenny?
6013Ah ain''nev''ast yo'', has Ah?
6013Ah knows yo''is de bravest nigger in all dis world, but fo''mah sake, Zachariah, wo n''t yo''PLEASE come in?''
6013All de Injuns in dis yere--""Injuns?"
6013All this is real, is n''t it?"
6013Am I to understand that you-- that you were never married to my father?"
6013An''as fer the Wild Cat Crick and Tippecanoe River, why, they tell me there ai n''t been anything like-- How''s that?"
6013And have you, by the way, noticed what a glorious day it is?
6013And if you follow me to the house I''ll-- I''ll--""What''ll you do?"
6013And was not God the wisest Being in all the world?
6013And what do I get?
6013And why did he look at her like that?
6013And you need n''t expect to be supported by your friend Jasper Suggs or the gentle Mr. Hawk,--Aha, THAT got under your pelt, did n''t it?
6013And you were n''t expecting visitors as early as this or you would have got home a little sooner yourself, huh?"
6013Are n''t you interested?
6013Are we to turn back and walk the other way so that our unclean garments may not touch?"
6013Are you plannin''to work the farm yourself, Mr. Gwynne, or are you goin''to sell er rent on shares?"
6013Are you through in the kitchen?
6013Are you trying to cross- examine him, or to discredit his testimony?"
6013Are you?"
6013As for Zachariah?
6013As she was leaving the office, he said to her, with deep feeling:"I suppose you realize the consequences, Mrs. Gwyn?
6013As the girl buried her face upon the older woman''s shoulder, the latter cried out:"Land sakes, child, you''ll never get over bein''a baby, will ye?"
6013Besides, lockin''Mart up is n''t going to bring back Mrs. Gwyn''s sheep, is it?"
6013Besides, we are supposed to be enemies, are n''t we?"
6013Besides, would not his mother be there to remind Him in case He could not exactly remember what Rachel Carter had done?
6013Blood all over everything and--""The man called Suggs?"
6013But does n''t she realize that if they attempt this outrage her own father stands a pretty good chance of being shot?"
6013But in heaven''s name, what reason had she for disliking him?
6013But what do you suppose made him change his mind so suddenly?"
6013But why, she argued,--why should it be improper?
6013Ca n''t they hang me here an''have it over?"
6013Ca n''t you see how terrible it would be?"
6013Ca n''t you see?"
6013Call in a lot o''these dodgasted canary birds to fight the hawks?
6013Can you imagine anything more horrible than to be married to a woman who-- who did n''t love you?"
6013Cold- blooded murder?
6013Confound her, was she laughing at him?
6013Could it be possible that Lapelle''s mother objected to his marriage with Viola, and was prepared to take drastic action in case he did so?
6013Could it be possible that somewhere in Viola''s brain,--or rather in Minda''s baby brain,--that familiar name had stamped itself?
6013Could it be possible that this grand young gentleman had called her Miss Hawk?
6013Could she, this foulest of thieves, be the mother of so lovely, so sensitive, so perfect a creature as Viola Gwyn?
6013Den hit sort o''bounce up in de air an''lep right over mah haid an''hitten a tree--""Wuz hit rainin''all dis time?"
6013Did I ask you what your name was, stranger?"
6013Did he ever tell you that?"
6013Did n''t I tell you in the beginning that I wanted you to fix this house up just as if you were planning to live in it yourself?
6013Did n''t she tell you she had made an affidavit against Martin Hawk?"
6013Did n''t yo''all know dat?
6013Did n''t you understand that?"
6013Did that mean nothing to her?
6013Did you jot down that last thing we were talking about?
6013Did you know him well?"
6013Did you see the defendant along about four o''clock yesterday morning?"
6013Dis yere--""Speaking of saddles, have you fed Brandy Boy?"
6013Do n''t you ever come down town, Viola?"
6013Do n''t you give me credit for having a mind of my own?
6013Do n''t you suppose I know what mother wanted to see you about?
6013Do they call you Kenny for short?"
6013Do you hear me?
6013Do you hear?
6013Do you hear?
6013Do you know the reason why?
6013Do you know what you''ve done to her?"
6013Do you mean to tell me that you are going along with the posse?
6013Do you see those plum trees over yonder?
6013Do you see?
6013Do you see?
6013Do you suppose anybody''ll take the trouble to feed''em?"
6013Do you suppose it would survive the shock of realization?
6013Do you think I am a mercenary scoundrel,--that I would try to take it away from her?
6013Do you understand?
6013Do you understand?
6013Do you wonder that she does not know her own heart?"
6013Does that throw any light upon his identity?"
6013Egad,''tis not a regal palace, is it, Zachariah?
6013Eh?"
6013Ever notice a cat walk across a muddy strip o''ground?
6013Get it?"
6013Gimme my hat, too, will ye?"
6013Git ep dar, yo''lazy, good- fer- nuffin,--''""And what did Brandy Boy say in response to that?"
6013Good God, could I ask my own sister to be my wife?"
6013Good God, have you lost your senses?"
6013Good God, woman, you-- you do not expect ME to tell her, do you?
6013Gwyn''s?"
6013Gwyn?"
6013Gwyn?"
6013Gwynne?"
6013Gwynne?"
6013Gwynne?"
6013Gwynne?"
6013Gwynne?"
6013Had Rachel Carter figured directly or indirectly in the tragedy?
6013Had he not told her in so many words that he loved her?
6013Hain''t nohody got any work to do?"
6013Has a mother the legal right to disinherit a son in case said son marries contrary to her wishes?"
6013Has he said anything to you about it?"
6013Has it occurred to you that this act of yours is certain to react with grave consequences upon the very people you would-- er-- befriend?
6013Has the old woman had a change of heart, too?
6013Has the sin been visited upon one of us and not upon the other?"
6013Have I ever heard father speak of him by that name?"
6013Have either of you any reason for objecting to the suggestion he has made?
6013Have you been at Thorntown recently?"
6013Have you ever tried to shoot a ground squirrel at twenty paces?
6013Have you lost your senses?"
6013Have you no recollection of the little girl you used to play with?
6013He accosted Lapelle, inquiring:"Is that the tavern, Mister?"
6013He ca n''t get out till we open the door, so what''s the use cussin''about ten or fifteen minutes''delay?
6013He heard Barry say, with a harsh laugh:"Oh, she will, will she?"
6013He put this daily question to his mother:"How many do you s''pose Pa has killed by this time, Ma?"
6013He''s the head of the family, is n''t he?"
6013He--""When did you hear of this?"
6013Hear her whizzin''through the trees?
6013Here with us?"
6013How air you an''her makin''out these days, Kenneth?"
6013How are you getting along with the house?"
6013How come he don''know nuffin''''bout-- Say, how close dat ole sheriff say dem Injuns is?"
6013How could he publish Rachel Carter''s infamy to the world with that innocent girl standing beside her to receive and sustain the worst of the shock?
6013How dare you speak like that about my brother?"
6013How do you like that terbaccer?"
6013How do you like that?"
6013How does my hair look?"
6013How far is it to the tavern at Clark''s Point?"
6013How long has he known?"
6013How then did she come to fix upon him as the one to accuse?
6013How will day after to- morrow at five in the morning suit you?"
6013I am confident she hates me,--but if that''s the case, why should she leave word for me to come and see her?"
6013I go out''long about sun- up an''work like a dog all day, an''then when I come in to supper what happens?
6013I got to ask you plain an''straight; is this boy a slave?"
6013I guess I was a-- well, a little sarcastic, was n''t I?"
6013I guess he wuz your pa, wuzn''t he?"
6013I have a right to--""Do n''t you know it would be murder?
6013I have heard that he-- what are ye laughin''at, mister?"
6013I have never been afraid of the dark,--so why should I fear the light?"
6013I killed him, did n''t I?"
6013I live at---""Kentucky, eh?
6013I mean, is there likely to be fighting?"
6013I thought he may have-- but you say you knew of this a week ago?
6013If it had been impressed upon his own baby brain, why not in a less degree upon hers?
6013If it was so blamed easy to break into the jail, why should it be so all- fired difficult to break out of it?
6013If she does not know the truth, why should I?
6013If you are, would you mind coming into the bedroom with me?
6013If-- if you mean all that you have just said, Kenny, why did you refuse to shake hands with me?"
6013Impostor?
6013In plain words, would you take her unto yourself as your wife, to love and cherish and honour,--mind you, HONOUR,--to the end of your days on earth?"
6013Is it likely that I would give myself the worst of everything without seeing to it that she gets the best of everything?
6013Is it not possible that he may have left before I came there to live?
6013Is it right and fair that he should hate you any more than I should hate his father?"
6013Is n''t it queer?
6013Is your curiosity satisfied?
6013Is your love for her great enough,--or will it ever be great enough,--to overcome these obstacles?
6013Is-- is it all off?"
6013Is-- is there some one else?"
6013It ca n''t be a dream, can it?
6013It is a relief, is n''t it, Zachariah?"
6013It was all very well for Jack Trentman to say that this was the safest, most sensible way to go about it, but had Jack ever been through it himself?
6013It will make no--""Is that all you wanted to say to me, Viola?"
6013It''s OUR mud, ai n''t it?
6013It-- it ought to be different with us, ought n''t it?"
6013Jealousy, I suppose,--but not unnatural, after all, in a second wife, is it?
6013Kenneth experienced a poignant thrill of apprehension What was he to expect: a friendly or a sanguinary encounter?
6013Kenneth pondered a moment and then said:"Do you suppose you could get a letter to Moll Hawk if I were to write it, Stain?"
6013Lan''sakes, Mistah Gwynne, what fo''yo''do dat to Mistah Barry?
6013Later on, at supper, she abruptly asked:"Mother, how old is Kenneth?"
6013Little mo''side- meat, suh?"
6013May I have your permission to say that you are very lovely in your new frock and that you are marvellously becoming to it?"
6013May I suggest that you are not-- er-- obliged to reveal the fact that you were never married to him?
6013Minda?
6013More than likely, Moll would up and deny that she had anything to do with it,--and then what?
6013Mr. Lapelle he promised me a new dress but-- say, who air you?"
6013Mrs. Gwyn never goes nowhere,''cept out to the farm, an''I''m purty sure she didn''t-- Say, do you hear somebody comin''up the road behind us?"
6013My God, child,--do you want to have a man''s life- blood on your hands?"
6013My Pa.""One night,--the night before you came up here to live-- your Auntie Rachel,--that is what you called her, is n''t it?
6013My goodness, what on earth did Zachariah think was after him?
6013My valour--""And I suppose you always dreamed of marrying her as they always do in stories?"
6013Need I say more?"
6013Never had he been so flagrantly insulted,--and for what reason?
6013Next week some time, ai n''t it, Doc?"
6013Next week?
6013Now that it has come and you know all that I know, are we to turn against each other because of what happened when we were babies?
6013Now what are you?
6013Now, just what DID he say?"
6013Now, will you sit down-- and be friendly?"
6013Now, with me, I-- Got to be movin''along, have you?
6013Oh, it''s terribly upsetting, is n''t it?"
6013Oh, you need n''t look around for big brother,--God, I bet you''d be happy if he was n''t your brother, would n''t you?
6013Once her mother interrupted her to inquire:"Did Kenneth actually use those words, Viola?
6013Or, if it comes to the worst, hire some one to assassinate him?"
6013Out to the farm, eh?
6013Prosecutor?"
6013Rather odd, is it not?"
6013Say, I''d like to make you acquainted with--""My step- mother sent word to you?"
6013Shall I get some kindling and start it up?"
6013Shall we stop?"
6013Shall we walk along slowly behind the rest?"
6013She did not respond to this, so, with a sneering laugh, he continued:"Suppose I have had a little too much,--who''s the cause of it?
6013She must have-- Say, are you sure she''s gone?"
6013She--"Kenneth, forgetting himself in his agitation, interrupted her with the startling question:"Where does Rachel Carter live?"
6013Sheriff?"
6013Sleep well?"
6013So she was away all night, eh?
6013So you DO remember little Minda?"
6013Somewhat footlessly he burst out:"But surely you must have demanded-- I mean, did you never ask him to-- to marry you?"
6013Stain will be one of the sheriff''s party?"
6013Stain?"
6013Striker hastened to add:"Somethin''like ten or''leven years,--''leven, I reckon, ai n''t it?"
6013Striker?"
6013Striker?"
6013Striker?"
6013Supposin''I do track a little mud into her kitchen?
6013That chance remains, does n''t it?"
6013That is clear to you, is it not?
6013That reminds me to ask, did you ever run acrosst a feller in the town you come from named Jasper Suggs?"
6013That slipped out, did n''t it?
6013That will make three, wo n''t it?"
6013That would be hell,--hell, do you understand?"
6013That''s understood, ai n''t it?"
6013The house with the green window blinds, you say?"
6013The question persisted: What was back of the slaying of Jasper Suggs?
6013The secret was safe, so why should I reveal it to you,--my enemy,--isn''t that what you are thinking?"
6013The sheriff was up here last night, just after supper, but,--Oh, Kenny, what is it all about?"
6013The thought rushed into his mind: Was she a widow?
6013The wind''s makin''such a noise I-- Say it again, will ye?"
6013Then:"And why did you think it not advisable to tell me?"
6013There ai n''t much left of my dress, is they?
6013There''s a heap o''ducks an''geese passin''over--""See here, Phineas,"broke in his wife suddenly,"what''s the sense of sayin''that?
6013There''s a little winder at one end, so''s you c''n have all the air you want,--an'', my stars, there''s a lot of it to- night, ai n''t there?
6013There''s setch a thing as bein''too danged clean, do n''t you think so?
6013These past few days had brought despair and jealousy to him, but what would the future bring?
6013They ai n''t got him''rested fer doin''it, have they?
6013They know we''ll get him, sure as God made little apples, so they''ve fixed this up to--""Well, what if it is a trick?"
6013They''re goin''to take me to jail, ai n''t they?"
6013This radiantly beautiful girl a widow?
6013Trentman?"
6013Viola?"
6013Violy sez,''When did you get the linx skins, Ike?''
6013Was he a source of amusement to her?
6013Was it because her hair was grey?
6013Was it divination or was it stubborn memory?
6013Was she depending upon him, her blood relation, for counsel in an hour of duress?
6013Was she in need of his help?
6013Was she in trouble?
6013Was she waiting there to question him?
6013Was that your purpose in getting me here?
6013Was this a Cinderella in the flesh,--and in the morning would he find her in rags and tatters, slaving in the kitchen?
6013We are,--shall I say birds of a feather?
6013We talked of business mat--""Then,"she cried,"how do you happen to know anything about Mr. Lapelle and me?
6013Well, what is the verdict?
6013Well,--here he was with a sister,--and what was he to do about it?
6013Were they going off to kill Indians, or bears, or cattymunks?
6013Wh- what are you doing?"
6013Wha''fo''is yo''all feelin''dis yere way''bout yo''own sister?
6013Wha''fo''is yo''keepin''me an''Marse Kenneth waitin''lak dis?
6013Wha''yo''all doin''out dere in dat hell- fire an''brimstone?
6013What are we to do?"
6013What are you doing with that rifle?"
6013What are you going to do to me?
6013What are you saying, Viola?"
6013What could be wrong in going to see her own brother?
6013What did it portend?
6013What did the girl tell you?"
6013What difference did it make whether it was night or day?
6013What do you want?"
6013What had he said or done to wound this stony, indomitable mother of hers?
6013What has he to say about me?"
6013What have I done?"
6013What is this cock- and- bull story about abducting me?
6013What is to become of young Gwynne''s property here in this county?"
6013What matters if I have walked in darkness and you in the light?
6013What on earth are you driving at?"
6013What on earth could he have to do with my loving or not loving you?"
6013What other woman on this here earth would have gone out to Martin Hawk''s last night just for the satisfaction of seein''him arrested?
6013What right had she to ask him to accept Viola as a sister unless she was also willing to grant him the privileges and interests of a brother?
6013What right had she to be happy and gay and cheerful whilst he was so miserable?
6013What right had she,--this insufferable peacock,--to consider herself his superior?
6013What time will the old woman be back?"
6013What was back of the earnest request for him to come and see her at her mother''s house?
6013What was back of the untold story of the slaying of Jasper Suggs?
6013What was happening to her,--what was causing this strange languor, this queer sensation as of falling?
6013What was he to do or say if the door was opened by Rachel Carter?
6013What was he to say to her?
6013What was her game?
6013What was it Miss Viola said to you?"
6013What was she doing here in the humble cot of the Strikers?
6013What were the circumstances?
6013What will you think of me for coming out here like this?"
6013What would he not give to be in the roisterer''s boots instead of his own?
6013What would you expect her to do, long as she knew you were headed this way?
6013What would you have me do?"
6013What''s that got to do with your calling my friend a horse- thief?"
6013What''s vulgar about my telling you I want to hold you in my arms and kiss you?
6013When Ah lies, Ah lies about SOMEFIN'', but when yo''lies, yo''jes''lies about NUFFIN'',--''ca''se why?
6013When did you get home?"
6013Where are we now?
6013Where do you suppose they are?"
6013Where else would she be?"
6013Where has she gone?"
6013Where is he?"
6013Where is she?"
6013Where is she?"
6013Where you bound fer?"
6013Which way was he goin''?"
6013Who are you?"
6013Who was she?
6013Whose farm is that upon the ridge?"
6013Whut do you think they''ll do to Pap?"
6013Why could you not have been as fair to your child as he was to his?"
6013Why did n''t you keep track of what you were spending?
6013Why had Moll Hawk killed the man?
6013Why not?
6013Why should n''t I tell you how I feel?
6013Why should she sing and whistle in her own domain when she must have known that he was suffering in his, not twenty rods away?
6013Why was it that she did not FEEL the same as mother?
6013Will you do me the favour to be seated?
6013Will you let me pass?"
6013Will you not spare me that?"
6013Will you ride over to my farm and have Allen come over here with a wagon?
6013Will you try to forget it?"
6013Wisehart and Kinworthy and Dewey?
6013Wo n''t you come over there with me,--and listen to what I have to tell you?"
6013Wo n''t you lie down and sleep awhile?"
6013Wo n''t you understand, Barry?
6013Would you care to come along?
6013Wuz Ah skeert?
6013Wuz she right?"
6013Wuz that fair?"
6013Yas, suh,--''cause why?"
6013Yo''heah me?
6013You are sure nothing is likely to happen to- night?"
6013You are sure you do n''t mind my going to the stores with him, mother?"
6013You believe that, do n''t you, Barry dear?
6013You did n''t expect me to make an exhibition of myself before all those people, did you?"
6013You do n''t care for the breed, is that it?"
6013You do n''t reckon that Barry is goin''to take a active part in this here kidnappin''job, do you?
6013You have performed wonders with the-- er-- new baking pan and--""What''s de matteh wid dem b''iled pertaters, suh?"
6013You know Phineas Striker?
6013You know as well as I that I can not ask her to marry me, so why speak of it?
6013You know what a husband is, do n''t you?"
6013You know what the Good Book says?
6013You know who your mother''s husband was, do n''t you?"
6013You loved your mother very, very much, did n''t you?
6013You must be almost beside yourself,--and here I go making matters worse by--""Where is she?"
6013You never in all your life heerd of anybody puttin''a litter of pups in a bag an''throwin''''em in the river, did ye?
6013You say it''s not more''n six mile out yan way?"
6013You took her away with you and-- why did you not leave her behind as my father left me?
6013You understand that, do n''t you?"
6013You understand, do n''t you?"
6013You''re her ma, huh?
6013You''re my sister, are n''t you?"
6013You''re shore they wo n''t hang me?
6013You-- you are actually throwing me over,--giving me the mitten?"
6013You--""Firing at you?"
6013You--""How can you say such a thing, mother?"
6013You?
6013an''I sez,''Last Friday, Miss Violy,''an''she sez,''Ai n''t they beautiful?''
6013an''I sez--""She wants me to come to her house?"
6013he asked, gripping the corn- husk bedtick with tense, nervous fingers,"and not in connection with the killing of Suggs?"
32429''Cause I''m crooked like this- a- way?
32429''Pears like you find somethin''right interestin''in that book; be you readin''hit?
32429A bird? 32429 About''ow far do you think, ma''m?"
32429Ah, what is this?

32429And I would have stayed away and let you starve to death? 32429 And he have sont fer ye?"
32429And not a thrush?
32429And now about the bee tree?
32429And now wo n''t you say what you were going to say?
32429And that will be grand, wo n''t it, baby? 32429 And then, dear heart, what did you do?"
32429And then?
32429And then?
32429And we can go right on helping each other, as we have done all these weeks? 32429 And what did you think the interpretation was then?"
32429And what, Cassandra? 32429 And when is tea time here?"
32429And when was that?
32429And who put them in your hair?
32429And why because?
32429And you came from Canada?
32429And you do n''t feel in the least disturbed? 32429 And you never come up when I am at home?"
32429And-- you call yourself a poet?
32429Anything the matter?
32429Are n''t you a bit stupid, David, not to see? 32429 Are n''t you hungry, too?"
32429Are there many herb doctors here about?
32429Are they likely to come up here, do you think, those men?
32429Are you comfortable down there?
32429Are you comfortable? 32429 Are you doin''this fer her?"
32429Are you going to hit the''houn''''dog with the pretty ball, Frale?
32429Are you hurt?
32429Are you so tired?
32429B-- but what were you going to do about it?
32429Be Bishop Towah in the house?
32429Be I heap o''trouble to you? 32429 Be hit true, what he says, Cass?"
32429Be the doctah dade, maw?
32429Be they? 32429 Be ye''feared fer me, Cass?"
32429Be ye''feared''nough to give me your promise, Cass?
32429Before God, I promise--"What, Frale? 32429 But for you?
32429But if they called the truth to you-- what then?
32429But just try-- to please me? 32429 But now, David--""Ah, but now-- what?
32429But now, I mean, when you came up here?
32429But now-- what?
32429But these mountain people of yours, who are they anyway?
32429But why did you put mountains in the sea?
32429But why on earth have n''t you told him?
32429But why should she think she ought? 32429 But why?
32429But you do n''t have to, do you, Frale?
32429Ca n''t you get over the ground any faster, John?
32429Ca n''t you give me a few, a very few moments? 32429 Ca n''t you see it''s sin for you and me to sit here like this-- like we dared to be sweethearts, when you have shed blood for this?
32429Ca n''t you tell me all about it, dear?
32429Can I get a carriage here, do you know?
32429Can you give me your promise now, Cass?
32429Can you tell me how to reach a place called''Wild Cat Hole''? 32429 Can you, David?
32429Casabianca, was it?
32429Cassandra, do you realize that in fifteen minutes you will be my wife? 32429 Cassandra, what are you covering and holding back?"
32429Chances for what?
32429Cold?
32429David, are you out of your head?
32429Dead? 32429 Dearest, may I interrupt you?"
32429Did he ax ye a heap o''questions, Hoyle?
32429Did he fight in the Civil War, too?
32429Did n''t I this very evening, David?
32429Did-- did he come on the cyars with you? 32429 Do I mind?
32429Do I reckon who''s dead?
32429Do I remember? 32429 Do about it?
32429Do it? 32429 Do n''t I ever deserve a visit?"
32429Do n''t you have it also when happiness comes to you, as on this morning while we waited together?
32429Do n''t you know that''s all a girl of my age lives for-- matrimony and a kennel? 32429 Do n''t you like the thought of staying up here with me?
32429Do n''t you reckon she be mean to Doctah David, nevah to let on''at he have a son, and he a- growin''that fast? 32429 Do n''t you take milk in your coffee?
32429Do they ride that way where you come from? 32429 Do they think they will have bodies that can be hurt by any such thing in the next world?"
32429Do you feel in a hurry?
32429Do you love that baby?
32429Do you realize I''ve found here the two greatest things in the world, love and health? 32429 Do you stay long in England?"
32429Do you think I would not do all I can to keep from spoiling your life over there?
32429Do you want to know what he said when he saw it? 32429 Do you''low they''ll shoot Frale, suh?"
32429Do you, indeed?
32429Doc inside?
32429Doctah Hoyle, you remembeh that thar quare bunch of leetle sticks an''stones you put in my''quar''um first day you fixed hit up fer me?
32429Doctah, do n''t ye guess I can get up an''try walkin''a leetle?
32429Does Cassandra know she is to be married to- day?
32429Does he live down in there? 32429 Does it hurt you very much, Hoyle?"
32429Ef I had''a''been straight, brother David never would''a''took me up to you?
32429Ef he have come to hisself, you reckon I bettah wake''em up and give her a leetle hot milk? 32429 Everything good and beautiful-- but-- sometimes it comes again--""What comes?"
32429Finish what you were saying? 32429 Frale, are you there?"
32429Frale, did you see that man lookin''over the fence? 32429 Frale, do you know me all these years to think such as that of me now?"
32429Go back? 32429 Good thing to know; but you''re a hero, do you understand that?"
32429Good; what kind of work can you do?
32429Hain''t that pone done, Sally? 32429 Hain''t ye goin''to wait fer yer horse?"
32429Hain''t ye seed nobody?
32429Has Frale been a- pesterin''you?
32429Have n''t you one to send to your sister?
32429Have you anything else-- like this?
32429Have you ever seen Lord Thryng-- the new lord, I mean, ma''m?
32429Have you seen Frale?
32429Have-- have you been down to the house, Frale?
32429He''s gettin''on all right now, be he?
32429Helping his mother, is he? 32429 Her gran''paw''s paw?
32429Her-- her father? 32429 Heredity?
32429Hev ye? 32429 Him?
32429Hoke, if you were to find it necessary to go away anywhere, would you leave your wife behind to please Cassandra Merlin?
32429Hotel? 32429 How am I ever to repay you people for your kindness to me?"
32429How came you here, Frale? 32429 How did you come to try to make a picture of the sea when you never saw it?"
32429How do you mean? 32429 How do you mean?"
32429How do you mean?
32429How far is it?
32429How have you managed these days? 32429 How unmixed in your most horribly mixed and mongrel population?"
32429How was it? 32429 How''s doc?"
32429How''s doc?
32429How-- how is that? 32429 Hu come he in thar?"
32429I have no thought of shirking my duty, and am prepared to think and act also--"You wish it to be effective? 32429 I hope you''ll sleep well--""Sleep?
32429I mean before he did this, before she went away to study-- had she made him such a-- promise?
32429I reckon you are a- thinkin''to bide on here''long o''we- uns an''not carry her off nowhar else?
32429I reckon you find it hard because you are not used to living like we do; we''re soon there now, see yonder?
32429I say, do you know what a hero is?
32429I say-- do you love him?
32429I thank you, sir, for your trouble,--but now, Doctor, shall we return to your house? 32429 I will go down with you,"he said,"you thought it might be the voices?
32429In your heart it is sweet and peaceful, too, and waiting for something good to happen?
32429Is Cass thar now? 32429 Is Frale your brother?"
32429Is Lady Isabel the right sort?
32429Is he at their country home also?
32429Is it a boy? 32429 Is it in my eyes you see the long path of light?
32429Is it something I must not be told?
32429Is it to the country you wish to go, ma''m?
32429Is it whiskey?
32429Is it-- is it safe for you to come here, Frale?
32429Is mother all right?
32429Is n''t that''protection''enough? 32429 Is that a house up there?"
32429Is that the way you see the''charm to hit''? 32429 Is that your way when you are afraid to do a thing; you hurry to do it all the more?"
32429Is there any hurry?
32429It is a trouble, is n''t it? 32429 It is no longer as if we were separate, dearest; ca n''t you remember and feel that we are one?"
32429It-- would take a-- long time to go to her first?
32429Keep right on this way, do I?
32429Kin you hear hit?
32429Let me know when we come to Carew''s Crossing, will you?
32429May I keep these books a short time? 32429 Miss Cassandra, when you know I am at your service, and will do anything you ask of me, why do you hold something back from me?
32429More than for Frale Farwell?
32429Mother says will you sign here, please?
32429Naturally-- but how about that, anyway? 32429 Nature-- yes-- how do you account for it?
32429No, David-- only-- does it mean death?
32429Nothing, only her baby had been crying; but was n''t he a love?
32429Now are you happy?
32429Now, how shall I punish you?
32429Now? 32429 Oh, there is a difference?
32429Only the days when I am absent can you''get to go up''?
32429Or-- any friend like yourself? 32429 Promised?"
32429Promised?
32429Reckon the''re no good?
32429Reckon ye''ll come back hyar this evenin''?
32429Remember that hat?
32429Sha n''t I unpack your box for you now, ma''m?
32429Shall I call Hoke?
32429Shall we go to my hotel? 32429 Sho-- how I know anybody wan''see yo, hangin''''roun''de back do''?
32429So you really thought it was the''Voices''? 32429 Suppose I duck him in the water trough yonder?"
32429Sure that all is right when we belong to each other-- this way?
32429Tell me a little more? 32429 Tell me first-- do you want me to go?"
32429Tell me how she came by the spelling- book, will you?
32429Tell th''doctah hu- come hit happened, son; you hain''t afeared of him, be ye?
32429That you, Cass?
32429That you, Hoke? 32429 Then there is something?"
32429Then what do you keep it in your pocket for? 32429 Then what will you do?"
32429Then what would be the use of telling him, only to trouble him?
32429Then why did n''t it save you from killing Ferd?
32429Then why have you waited all this time to tell me?
32429Then why not for you?
32429Then why so silent and dubious?
32429Then, of course, you can see that she is one of the best of the mountain people, ca n''t you? 32429 They''d not reached the house when you saw them?"
32429To- day? 32429 To-- her?"
32429W''ot kind, ma''m?
32429Waal, now, why could n''t you have give me that word first off? 32429 Was n''t that what the''Voices''were saying last night when you followed?"
32429Was the basket full of books? 32429 We are about the same size, I think?
32429We do n''t want no magic man, do we, Doctah Hoyle? 32429 We may be good friends still?
32429We''ll be on a straight road for a piece after this hill; shall we hurry a little then?
32429Well, David?
32429Well, Frale?
32429Well, could you jump ovah this here house and the loom shed in one jump?
32429Well, mother?
32429Well, that will be a good deed, wo n''t it?
32429Whar war he at?
32429Whar''d you git him? 32429 Whar''s David?"
32429What about her?
32429What are all these drawings? 32429 What are these mounds here on either side of the sea?"
32429What are you thinking about, brother Hoyle?
32429What are you thinking now, David?
32429What be I quare fer?
32429What be that-- odd? 32429 What be they?"
32429What did Doctor Hoyle do when he was down here?
32429What did Doctor Hoyle say about it?
32429What did you say?
32429What do you mean by''the right sort,''David? 32429 What do you say?"
32429What do you see when you look off at the mountain like that?
32429What do you''low to do here in ouah mountains? 32429 What does he do here?"
32429What fer?
32429What have I got? 32429 What have you done to your thumb?"
32429What have you done with your dog, Frale? 32429 What have you done?"
32429What in God''s name will my wife have to do with England''s African policy? 32429 What is Cass doing to- day?"
32429What is a''bee tree''?
32429What is it, Cassandra? 32429 What is it, James?"
32429What is it, little mother, what is it?
32429What is it, mamma?
32429What is it? 32429 What is it?"
32429What is it?
32429What is it?
32429What is it?
32429What is the tragedy?
32429What is this? 32429 What little girl?"
32429What war you an''that old man feelin''me all ovah for? 32429 What was that little sound?"
32429What was the matter with his preaching?
32429What was the matter?
32429What were his s-- secrets?
32429What were you saying, mother?
32429What were you thinking, David, that you did not hear me? 32429 What would you do if you could c-- arry your head straight like Frale?
32429What you got in that thar gol''machine? 32429 What you want to hear my heart beat fer?
32429What''s a''charm to hit''? 32429 What''s in that bundle, mothah?"
32429What''s that you are tossing up in the air? 32429 What''s that you sayin'', child,''bouts the Lord twistin''yer neck?
32429What''s that? 32429 What''s the matter, Frale?
32429What''s the matter, Frale? 32429 What- all be they?"
32429What- all is this Frale say you have told him? 32429 What- all''s in hit?"
32429When I go back, you reckon I''ll find''em hanging on the bushes? 32429 When did Cass come?"
32429When did you come down f''om that thar country whar Doctah Hoyle lives at?
32429When did you read that book, Cassandra? 32429 When do people make visits here, in the morning or afternoon?"
32429When is she coming back?
32429Where are they?
32429Where be ye from?
32429Where is he?
32429Where is your sister, Hoyle? 32429 Where was Frale?"
32429Where''s Miss Cassandra now?
32429Where''s the footman?
32429Where''s the little chap?
32429Where''s the''houn''dog,''Frale?
32429Which one is y-- yours?
32429Who aire ye talkin''to?
32429Who be ye, anyhow? 32429 Who be ye?"
32429Who be ye?
32429Who did me up like this?
32429Who is it now, making so much of the estimates of the world? 32429 Why ca n''t your little brother sit back here with me?"
32429Why did n''t Martha come up this evening?
32429Why did n''t you call me?
32429Why did n''t you come to me with it?
32429Why did n''t you tell us when you were down? 32429 Why did she do it?"
32429Why did you do that? 32429 Why do you ask in that way, mothah?"
32429Why do you laugh?
32429Why do you talk so?
32429Why is it out of order? 32429 Why must there be''blood feud''now?
32429Why so sad for that? 32429 Why, Cassandra, does it hurt you for me to tell you that I love you?
32429Why, David?
32429Why, dearest?
32429Why, son, are ye cryin''that- a- way so''s you can get to go off an''leave maw here''lone?
32429Why?
32429Will you ask him for me, Cass? 32429 Will you go to Daneshead Castle itself, ma''m, or stop in Queensderry?"
32429Will you have a shave, my lord?
32429Will you sit there on the rock and enjoy the mountains while I see how he is?
32429Will you take me, Frale, if it''s a circus? 32429 Will you tell me, please, have you a sister?"
32429Wo n''t you finish telling me about the spelling- book?
32429Wo n''t you go back and make her understand that he is to be left absolutely alone? 32429 Wo n''t you let me go with you?
32429Wo n''t you share this game with me? 32429 Wo n''t you tell me what troubles you?
32429Would my son have been attracted to her else? 32429 Would n''t this be an ideal spot to spend a honeymoon?
32429Would you like me to become an invalid again so you could keep on in the way you began?
32429Yas, know him? 32429 Yas, you see me now, do ye?"
32429Ye reckon? 32429 Yes, dearest; but did n''t the remembrance come to you just now, when you saw the long path of light before us?"
32429Yes?
32429You admitted Cassandra has both beauty and charm?
32429You are listening, David?
32429You did n''t expect me to stay a little girl all my life, did you, David?
32429You do n''t object to this, do you?
32429You feel quite sure that if he could get down the mountain side without being seen, he would be safe; where do you mean to send him? 32429 You hain''t goin''to tie me up that- a- way, be you?"
32429You hain''t goin''to''low that, be ye, Hoke? 32429 You have Cassandra''s promise; what are you going to do about it?"
32429You have come back to explain?
32429You have come near losing that splendid eye of yours, do you know that, little chap?
32429You have taken a man''s life; do you know what that means?
32429You hear that, Doc? 32429 You knew her first husband, then?"
32429You know hu''come I got filled up with them things? 32429 You know it''s not right that this sort of thing should go on indefinitely?"
32429You made the chicken coops? 32429 You mean without you, dearest?"
32429You must go now, Frale, you hear? 32429 You must know that I am stronger than you?"
32429You promise, mothah?
32429You reckon God just gin my neck er twist so''t brothah David would take me to Canada to you, an''so''t maw''d''low me to go? 32429 You reckon I mount go in yandah whar he is at?"
32429You reckon doctah kin take off my hade an''set hit straight like you carry yours, Frale?
32429You reckon he would, Doctor?
32429You reckon he''s plumb dade?
32429You reckon p''r''aps I mount git changed some way outen this here quare back I got, so''t I can hol''my hade like otheh folks? 32429 You reckon she''d keer fer this''n?"
32429You reckon she''d like me if I war to give her this here balloon?
32429You reckon why he done hit?
32429You reckon you can tell me hu''come God''lowed me to have this- er lump on my back? 32429 You reckon you could jump as fer in one jump now as from here to t''other side the water trough yandah?"
32429You reckon you kin tell what''tis?
32429You remember him so well, wo n''t you tell me how he looked?
32429You remember that day we went to Cate Irwin''s? 32429 You run in an''tell yer maw thank you, fer me, will ye?
32429You tell me Cassandra has given you her promise? 32429 You told her to get them because you wished to make her think she was doing something for her husband, did n''t you?
32429You trust me?
32429You walked, did n''t you? 32429 You will heed when your own heart tells you the right way?"
32429You will not drink?
32429You will repent, Frale?
32429You will tell me this trouble-- now-- before you leave me? 32429 You would n''t say''it was me,''would you?"
32429You-- you seen a houn''dog on-- on a cent-- how could he be on a cent?
32429You? 32429 Your condition?
32429Yours is n''t large enough for such a flood, is it, sweet?
32429A thought struck him, and he asked:--"Do you know what they quarrelled about?"
32429Ah, could he never reach her?
32429Ah, she knew; for is not the little winged god a wonderful teacher?
32429Ah, what could he do?
32429And then it was me-- what?"
32429And then there is the terrible chance, after all, that he might go back and be like his father before him, and then what?"
32429And then what did you do?"
32429And what is Hoyle going to pay me for allowing him to ride Pete up and down while I plough?"
32429And what more could the bishop say?
32429And when the bishop next went up the mountain, might she accompany him?
32429And you could n''t say to her that she would help most by taking herself out of the way, could you?
32429And you wish me to help him get away?"
32429And you''ll rest now, wo n''t you, Doctor?
32429And you?"
32429Are we together in it?
32429Are you foh there, suh?"
32429Are you happy?"
32429Are you in trouble?"
32429Are you sure you can make them understand over there?
32429Are you visitin''these parts?"
32429Be Decatur Irwin as glad to lose his foot as I be to git my laig back?"
32429Be they more''n one devil?"
32429Be ye cryin''fer him, Cass?
32429Be ye most dade, honey?
32429Be ye''feared o''Frale, honey?"
32429Beautiful girl, does it?"
32429But David would know she did not need one; bringing him his little son in her own arms, what would he care for anything more?
32429But if they ask you a question, say politely,''Beg pardon?''
32429But perhaps he was waiting for her to speak first?
32429But what had he done?
32429But why should he care?
32429Ca n''t you see these have already served their purpose?"
32429Ca n''t you tell it to me?"
32429Ca n''t you tell me?"
32429Ca n''t you understand?
32429Can you drive a horse?
32429Can you make it out?"
32429Can you read that thar quare printin''?"
32429Can you suggest any one I might get to do that ploughing?
32429Can you tell what they be?
32429Can-- can you go up there and see why I ca n''t rest for thinking he''s a heap worse than he reckons?
32429Cassandra, have you loved that boy?"
32429Character?
32429Could he bear to live so near her?
32429Could he succeed in influencing her to set her young lover''s claims one side?
32429Could n''t they have him down?
32429Could n''t you patch it up among you, and keep the boy at home?
32429Could you let your head rest here and sleep as you did the other day?
32429D-- don''t we, though?
32429David spoke pleadingly,"You thought him a beautiful child?"
32429David was troubled indeed, but what could he do?
32429David, how did you ever dare marry me?"
32429David, what can we do?
32429Did Aunt Sally feed you?
32429Did Aunt Sally see?
32429Did Hoke tell you this morning?"
32429Did I never tell you that but for his death he would have been created bishop of his diocese?
32429Did he come often?"
32429Did it make a difference in his reception up above-- do you think?"
32429Did it move or not?
32429Did n''t I tell you in my letter?
32429Did not the old man say it was only gossip?
32429Did she know she was in that terrible flood?
32429Did they drop from the sky and fill the air like these?
32429Did this girl know him better than she-- his wife?
32429Did you know it was one of those bullets Frale tried to kill you with?
32429Did you say that word?"
32429Did you think I loved you and married you for your worldly knowledge?"
32429Did you- uns know him?"
32429Did your brother hurt you?"
32429Do n''t I do it right?"
32429Do n''t men love to go discovering?
32429Do n''t you guess''at he''s beginnin''to grow some?
32429Do n''t you like your fried cakes?
32429Do n''t you people here in the mountains do the same?"
32429Do n''t you reckon it''s time you and I were abed?"
32429Do n''t you remember anything he said?"
32429Do n''t you see you are still beyond my reach?
32429Do n''t you think so?"
32429Do the weights hurt you?"
32429Do they hang by ther tails, like''possums does?"
32429Do you know what for?
32429Do you like me this way, David?"
32429Do you mean dead?
32429Do you suppose I''ve lived all these years and not seen?
32429Do you think you can plough all that land?
32429Doctor Hoyle, you''ll accompany us?
32429Doctor, are they fighting there now?
32429Doctor, are you sure-- sure-- it was right for us to do what we did?"
32429Does he feel it in his own little heart that you are his father?
32429Does hit mean this''er lump on my back?"
32429Does n''t he, James?
32429Frale was annoyed to hear Cassandra thus spoken against, for was she not his own?
32429From whence did they come-- those new sounds?
32429Get some ready, will you?"
32429God and his own soul-- was that all?
32429Good night?
32429Good, hey, little chap?
32429Had he ever seen the man before?
32429Had he not a silver bullet for the heart of the man who would dare contest his rights?
32429Had he reached Nirvana?
32429Had not David said he feared them for her?
32429Had not evil things been said of David even on her own mountain?
32429Had she died, and was this her spirit trying to speak?
32429Had she divined he would not stop at the Fall Place this time, when in the past it had been his custom to do so?
32429Had she forgotten the happy moment?
32429Had she not read in_ Vanity Fair_ how Becky Sharp always had her maid?
32429Had she seen her before?
32429Had the impossible happened?
32429Hain''t hit?"
32429Has it never occurred to you how your avenues will be cut off if you marry a wife beneath your class?"
32429Has your country no claim on you?"
32429Have David writ fer you like Frale say?
32429Have ye been up all night, Cass?"
32429Have you been to the house?"
32429Have you been to your apartment?
32429Have you forgot?
32429Have you said anything to her maw?"
32429Have you seen anything of that girl or observed her much?"
32429Have you thought of everything-- all the consequences?
32429Have you thought this all out, Doctor?
32429He bent down to her and asked almost in a whisper:"Promised?
32429His child-- that doctor''s child?
32429His own or God''s?
32429How about that?
32429How air you, suh?
32429How came Cassandra there listening?
32429How came a youngster like you there alone with those beasts?"
32429How came it there?
32429How came you to think of it for me?"
32429How can you laugh?"
32429How come he thar?"
32429How could I ever have loved you, if you had been different from what you are?"
32429How did he act?
32429How did he see things?"
32429How did you get all these things together?"
32429How have you slept, suh?"
32429How is it we see so differently?
32429How long must it be-- how long?
32429How long since you have eaten?"
32429How many might she call friends?
32429How many of her old companions might she retain?
32429How many were to be hereafter thrust out as quite impossible?
32429How much money would accrue?
32429How old is he?"
32429How should it be spent?
32429How should she conduct herself?
32429How should she go?
32429How soon will I be expected to take my seat?"
32429How soon?"
32429How would she bear them?
32429Hu come he in thar?"
32429Hu''come she thar?"
32429Hu''come you thar?"
32429Huh?"
32429I can rely on you to be practically inclined, now that you are placed at the head of such a family?
32429I can''t--""My dear boy, your brother died for his country, and can you not give a little of your life for it?
32429I could not pass him by, you remember?"
32429I do not need to leave you?"
32429I have something up at the cabin would help to heal this, but--"he glanced about the room--"What are those dried herbs up there?"
32429I love you, Cassandra; do you understand?"
32429I may do that, may I not?"
32429I reckon you have suffered a heap, and repented a heap-- since you did that, Frale?"
32429I reckon you- uns do n''t have nothin''sich whar you come from?"
32429I-- I shall need you, I-- Can you leave Hoyle there and come back, David?
32429If David have n''t sont fer ye, an''ye go, ye''ll have to walk ovah me to get thar, hear?"
32429If I help you, and shield you here, what are you going to do?
32429If I should let you have this hand again, would you go so far away from me that I could not reach you?"
32429If he could get to come back, do n''t you guess he''d come right quick, anyway?
32429If he did not speak first, would she keep silent forever?
32429If so, how long ought she to remain silent?
32429Impatient he might be, nervous, and even irritable, but still what could he do?
32429In what way?"
32429Instantly he thought better of his request, yet who was here to criticise?
32429Is any coffee left in the pot?"
32429Is he ill or hurt?
32429Is he so very handsome, do you think?"
32429Is it a boy?"
32429Is it that I am like my father?
32429Is it this way all the time?"
32429Is it true, that word Frale said, that everyone says he nevah will come back?"
32429Is it with my condition?"
32429Is it, Frale?"
32429Is n''t he clever?
32429Is n''t he, though?"
32429Is n''t it a sweet little cry, David?"
32429Is n''t it absurd?
32429Is n''t it beautiful here, David?"
32429Is n''t she?
32429Is n''t that it, James?
32429Is she ploughing?"
32429Is that all?"
32429Is that it?"
32429Is that keeping your promise to leave whiskey alone?
32429Is there a hotel?"
32429Is there anything I can do now?"
32429Is there anything else?"
32429Is there no one-- no man whom we can get to come here quickly?"
32429Is they going to be a circus, Frale, is they?"
32429It was a-- a-- predicament, was n''t it?
32429It''s to be life and work for you, sir, and what are you going to do with her, I say?"
32429James, you know how often after the best you could do and all their promises, they go back to it?"
32429Jes''axed her whyn''t she hol''her head like I did?
32429Jes''go to sleep like, an''wake up straight like Frale?"
32429John, ca n''t we get on faster than this?"
32429Just a little?
32429Just as we were?"
32429Just hunt up my trousers, will you?
32429Kin I look, too?"
32429Kin ye remember what I tol''you to tell yer paw?"
32429Kin you feel yourn?
32429May I examine what you have been doing?
32429May I kiss you?"
32429May I not have a day-- a single day-- in which to mourn the loss of my splendid brother?
32429Maybe they''ll appreciate her, and maybe they wo n''t; maybe they wo n''t, I say; Understand?
32429Maybe you came to see the''ouse, ma''m?"
32429Maybe you knew him?"
32429Might I have a look at them?"
32429Might he reach out and partake of the Divine power?
32429Might not this idyl be a part of it?
32429Might she still hold him in her heart?
32429Might this be the shadow Cassandra had seen lying across their future?
32429Mothers and babies?
32429Muffins, ma''m?"
32429My uncle dead, and I-- I his heir?"
32429My uncle gone, too?
32429My uncle?
32429Now tell me first of all, why is this laid on you?"
32429Now we shall get on, sha n''t we?
32429Now what are you going to do with her, eh?"
32429Now what?"
32429Now, Miss Cassandra, what does this mean?
32429Now, how came you to find us the other day?"
32429Now, what do you know?"
32429Of what were they not capable?
32429Oh, are you at home?"
32429Oh, why should they seem like hopes to her who had put away from her all hope?
32429Oncet he was a worm in a kind of a hole- box, an''then he turned into a leetle beast- crittah; an''what''ll he be next?"
32429One kiss?
32429Only think of all this gorgeous display of nature just for these mountain people, and what is it to them?"
32429Or must you bide there, too?"
32429Ought he to leave the place?
32429Ought she then to arrive attended by a maid, carrying her baby?
32429Over here a man hides the sun with his own hand and then cries out,''Where is it?''"
32429Page 17._]"Did you hitch that kicking brute alone and drive all that distance?"
32429Paint?
32429Protection from what?"
32429Reckon you can find hit?
32429Reckon you r''aly could set hit straight an''get this''er lump off''n my back?"
32429Remember how you used to play it for me every evening after dinner, when I was a girl?"
32429Sacrifice myself?
32429Say half an hour,--will that do?"
32429See yonder that spot of cleared red ground?
32429See?
32429See?
32429See?
32429Sha n''t I help you unpack, ma''m?"
32429Shall I mend the fire?"
32429Shall we go on?
32429She had it to spend, and of what else were they capable-- those hands?
32429She hesitated--"I reckon I did n''t do right telling her that-- do you guess?
32429She was assured by the cabman, leaning respectfully down to her with his cap in his hand, that this was"the''ouse, ma''m,"and should he wait?
32429She was sure-- sure-- David had been moved by noble motives; why should she not trust him now?
32429Should he come into her life only to torment and trouble her?
32429Should he go down to her now and refuse to leave her?
32429Should he wait and see?
32429Should he will her to speak and of herself unfold to him?
32429Should she be allowed a kennel, or should her sporting tendencies be discouraged?
32429Should she go at once, or wait until the afternoon?
32429So that was the way I kept on following-- until I--""You came to me, dear?"
32429So they quarrelled, did they?"
32429Sometime, when your mother is stronger, you can take up your life again and go to school-- as you meant to live-- can''t you?"
32429Sometimes he would sit on a bank of moss under those trees-- see near the top by that open spot of sky a right dark place?
32429Sometimes she found herself holding her breath and listening,--half lifting her head from her pillow,--but listening for what?
32429Suddenly he called to her as if from his sleep,"Have I killed some one?"
32429Sweet, simple- hearted child that she was, why, indeed, should she not come?
32429Tears in them?
32429Tears?
32429Tell me, if-- if a man has done-- such a sin, is it right to help him get away?"
32429Tell me, what did Frale say or do to you to so trouble you and send you off?"
32429That one should be sent for you?
32429That will be fine, wo n''t it, baby?"
32429The book she had been reading-- what were English people really like?
32429The glasses seemed to quiver and shake, throwing dancing flecks of light; and the wine in them-- why did it make him think of blood?
32429The old servant was saying:"You''aven''t''appened to meet a Samuel Cutter in America,''ave you?
32429The stench from his establishment pollutes miles of country, but does not reach England-- why?
32429Them people Cassandry was expectin''from Farington, did they come to- day?"
32429Then if I let you take your arms away, will you come back to me?"
32429Then she said,''Whyn''t you hol''your hade like I do?''"
32429Then why do n''t you eat them?
32429Then will you please speak for it soon?
32429Then you''d be sorry, would n''t you, Frale?"
32429They say both families are keen for the match-- and why should n''t they be?
32429To be able to write those badly scrawled notes was in his eyes surely enough to distinguish him from his companions at home; of what use was more?
32429To what wild spot had the animal brought him?
32429Waal, why''n''t ye say?"
32429War you tryin''to make out hu''come my hade is sot like this- a- way?
32429Was dinner included in the rent, and the mule and the mule''s dinner?
32429Was he a creature of ideals only, or was he also a practical man, taking the wisest means of reaching and achieving results most worth while?
32429Was he called home by his mother to help her sustain a new calamity?
32429Was his mother practising for the future that she kept such rigid state?
32429Was it a buoyancy he had received from his mountain height and the morning air?
32429Was it fate?
32429Was it for love of him that you gave him your promise?"
32429Was it not in the nature of a Providence that David had been delayed until after her departure?
32429Was it right, Doctor?
32429Was it that this young usurper had stolen into his place?
32429Was it the presence of his mother and Laura?
32429Was it what I said about matrimony?
32429Was it wind among the trees, or the rushing of water?
32429Was she afraid?
32429Was she going to try to play upon it?
32429Was she on her way to him, then?
32429Was she really being swept from him?
32429Was she there?
32429Was she to be devoured by swine?
32429Was she, then, so utterly untouched by his masculine presence?
32429Was spring upon them?
32429Was there no other way?"
32429Was there the guidance of a higher will?
32429Was this your husband''s also?
32429Was your first husband born and raised here as you were?"
32429We''ll make a fight for him, wo n''t we, dear?"
32429We''re not really one until we see from each other''s hilltop, are we?"
32429Were her eyes searching for the mountain top?
32429Were they dead then-- all three-- his two cousins and his brother-- dead?
32429Were they heavenly sweet, like these sounds?
32429Whar be hit at?"
32429Whar is he goin''?"
32429Whar war he at?
32429Whar yo s''poses he be dis time de mawnin''?"
32429What aire ye here fer?
32429What are you doing here all by yourself?"
32429What are you going to do about it?"
32429What are you seeing now?"
32429What are you thinking about, James?"
32429What are you thinking and fearing?
32429What be hit, ye reckon?
32429What be they about, anyhow?"
32429What can we do?"
32429What did God make''em that- a- way fer?"
32429What did I sacrifice?
32429What did he do that fer?"
32429What did the flute say to you?
32429What did they say to you?"
32429What did you hit your thumb like that for?"
32429What did your father tell you?
32429What do you care most for in all this world?
32429What do you think she said to me about it when I went to reason with her?
32429What else could she do, and what could David do?
32429What had he accomplished?
32429What had he ever said or done to make her prefer a request in that way?
32429What had she done-- this flower?
32429What has Laura been doing these two months?"
32429What have you been dreaming lately?"
32429What have you been up to, anyway?"
32429What if it had hit me when you threw it up that way-- and-- killed me?
32429What improvements should be made in their country home?
32429What is it now?"
32429What is it, brother Hoyle?"
32429What is it?
32429What is the matter with the man?
32429What is the trouble?
32429What kind of a leader socially in your own class?
32429What more can a man ask?
32429What mysterious foreboding had caught her fingers and stayed them at her maiden name?
32429What number is your room?
32429What should he do?
32429What sort of a Lady Thryng will your present wife make?
32429What they had felt-- what they had thought and striven for-- was it all intensified and concentrated in him?
32429What was it all-- what was it?
32429What was it?"
32429What was life?
32429What was she doing now?
32429What was she?
32429What was their message, Cassandra?"
32429What were they, those sweet sounds?
32429What were they?
32429What were you wondering?"
32429What will his mother-- and the family over in England say?"
32429What would David say?
32429What ye bid''n here fer?"
32429What you all dressed up for?
32429What you want o''the beast on the mountain, anyhow?
32429What you wrapping them up for?
32429What''s Hoyle doing with the mule?"
32429What''s''get shet of him,''Frale?"
32429What- all have Frale been up to now?
32429What- all have he done the doctah this- a- way fer?
32429What- all is up now?
32429What?
32429When Laura''s coming out should be?
32429When at last he cried out,"But what of my son, mother, my little son, and the heir to all this grandeur which means so much to you?"
32429When does the boat leave?
32429When would David speak?
32429When you are well, we will go there, wo n''t we?"
32429When you comin''back, brothah David?"
32429Where did you find it?"
32429Where did you get your roses?"
32429Where was he?
32429Where was it?"
32429Where would I be now but for you and Hoyle here?
32429Where would you like to go, ma''m?"
32429Where''s Laura?"
32429Where''s your flute?
32429Where''s your horse?"
32429Who be ye?"
32429Who could know what the future held for him-- what this little spot might mean to him in the days to come?
32429Who''d ye think I be?"
32429Why ca n''t you go on in the old way?"
32429Why do n''t you pay attention to me?
32429Why do you put a wall between us?
32429Why had it been done?
32429Why had she not written her name fully in the travellers''book?
32429Why have you done it?"
32429Why need he know when the knowing will do no good, and when he will come to me as soon as he can, anyway?"
32429Why not?
32429Why not?"
32429Why on earth does n''t Doctor Thryng come home?"
32429Why should I make him unhappy?
32429Why should I make his heart troubled when he must stay there?
32429Why should I mind, if you do n''t''right nigh''spoil your back and wear yourself out?"
32429Why should he allow it to go on?
32429Why should he let that doctor help him?
32429Why should he not have a vineyard up on the farther hill slope?
32429Why should he succumb?
32429Why was he here, away from the active, practical affairs which interest other men?
32429Why was it?
32429Why was the machine out of order?
32429Why were they so long within?
32429Why were they?
32429Why, what was it to him what place she asked for?
32429Why,--why what ails you?"
32429Why?
32429Will they ever be reconciled?
32429Will you drive yourself, ma''m, or shall I ask for a boy?"
32429Will you have anothah, or shall I give hit to Cass?"
32429Will you have breakfast now, suh?
32429Will you lock them in your box, mother, and if anything happens to me, will you sure-- sure burn them?"
32429Will you put that thar under doc''s pillow whar he kin find hit in the mawnin''?
32429Will you tell me how, please?"
32429Will you?"
32429Will you?"
32429Will you?"
32429Will your mother consent?
32429Wo n''t they think this awfully irregular?
32429Wo n''t ye''light an''come in?"
32429Wo n''t you tell me so I may help you?"
32429Would he be able to rise from the swirling flotsam and ride free?
32429Would he come any sooner for his son than for me?"
32429Would he hunt the family up and learn if they were worthy or impostors?
32429Would there be time in that case?
32429Would you prefer to go with us?"
32429Would you trust him to me, dear?
32429Would-- would you go-- alone with him?"
32429Yes, she was a stranger, and had wisely taken herself back to her own place; what else could she do?
32429Yet now should he sit down in ecstatic dreaming?
32429You are doing a very beneficent thing, do you know, saving a man''s life?"
32429You are not used to this kind of a saddle, I know, but what''s the difference?
32429You are not, are you, honey son?"
32429You can ride cross- saddle as the young ladies do in the North, ca n''t you?"
32429You could n''t, could you?"
32429You do n''t think he would try to return?"
32429You do n''t want to kill anybody, do you, Frale?"
32429You go back there and work like you said you would--""Did n''t I tell you that thar houn''dog Giles Teasley war on my scent?
32429You guess I-- I''m goin''to git shet o''the misery some day?"
32429You hear, Frale?
32429You know, Doctor, from Mr. Belew''s telegram we were led to expect--""A death instead of a wedding?"
32429You must be unhampered-- free-- what can I-- what can we do?"
32429You reckon God''lowed me to have this er hump, so''t I could get to go an''bide whar you were at, like I done?"
32429You reckon I can go back with you?"
32429You reckon he followed you off?
32429You reckon hit looks like the ocean whar the ships go a- sailin''to t''othah side o''the world?"
32429You reckon hit''ll eveh git changed into something diff''ent-- some kind er a bird?"
32429You reckon if I tried right hard I could paint a picture o''th''mountain, yandah-- an''th''sea-- an''--all the-- all the-- ships?"
32429You reckon if I''m right good, He''ll''low me to make a picture o''th''ocean some day, like the one we seed in that big house?
32429You reckon so, Doctah Hoyle?"
32429You reckon that li''l''girl, she thought I war quare?"
32429You reckon that''s what ails me?"
32429You remember how they came to Joan of Arc, like we were reading last week?"
32429You remember what David Thryng wrote?
32429You say it is not the whiskey?"
32429You say you had no school; how did you learn?
32429You tell me straight, did David send fer ye, er did n''t he?"
32429You think he was lookin''for you, Frale?
32429You will let me have him a little longer, wo n''t you, David?
32429You wo n''t?
32429You would have been a--""You mean if a magic man should come by here an''just touch me so, an''change me into Frale, would I''low him to do hit?"
32429You''aven''t''appened to know a Samuel Cutter over there?
32429You''ll keep this quiet for me, Hoke?
32429You- uns hain''t been yandah to the fall, have ye?"
32429Your heart does n''t beat any harder nor your breath come quicker?
32429[ Illustration:_"Casabianca, was it?"
32429and what name?
32429he asked,"and Hoyle, here?
18116''Twould oblige me t''have the use of your telephone?

18116A do n''t just like the sound of it; what''s your plan?

18116A thought it never rained in the Desert in summer, Wayland?
18116A wud ask why is that little Irish lassie not here?

18116All these children yours?
18116All you need, to be a lady, or a gentleman is, to be wealthy? 18116 Alone?"
18116And did you know my mother''s people, too?
18116And do you think the fellows, who want to run and have an ax to grind, do best for the Nation?
18116And feeds you, eh?
18116And fix the sheriff,explained the irrelevant[ Transcriber''s note: irreverent?]
18116And government is a mere game of politics?
18116And if you sit tight here for five years, you are going to be wealthy?
18116And is it straddle or-- fight?
18116And politics resolves itself into brute force; and a murder more or less does n''t matter? 18116 And say?"
18116And that is?
18116And that is?
18116And the Mexican herders?
18116And the Senator has all the appointments to the Service out here?
18116And when you turned to work the hoist and bring up the others?
18116And who in thunder is going to ask that?
18116And you thought there might be some of the hero in me, too?
18116Any ansher?
18116Are n''t y''goin''to ride y''rself?
18116Are n''t you going to turn in? 18116 Are y''all right, there?"
18116Are ye there yet?
18116Are you Wayland?
18116Are you going to straddle or fight?
18116Are you one of the new settlers''?
18116Are you one of the new settlers?
18116Are you still determined not to accept Government aid?
18116As a what?
18116As this is off y''r National Forests, A suppose y''could n''t have jumped into the bunch an''arrested every man- jack of''em?
18116Bargain?
18116Bat, did you stay up here to say that to me?
18116Bat,said the Ranger,"did you stay up here to say that to me?"
18116Because I caught her by the shoulders and lifted her up and shook her and said,''Calamity, who did this?''
18116Been a pilot to the priests and explorers for centuries?
18116Better inform a breathlessly eager public that he''s gone to Washington?
18116But there are two sides to this question, Mr. Ranger: what good does coal do locked up in the earth? 18116 But where in the name o''conscience is all yon snow; and where''s th''bodies, Wayland?"
18116But you are risking your own life if you go up?
18116Ca- lam- ity?
18116Calamity who did this?
18116Calamity, you do n''t think there is any danger to Father?
18116Can I do anything for you?
18116Come far, did y''ask? 18116 Come far?"
18116D''y''smell it? 18116 Dick,"she asked,"exactly what is the Senator''s brand?"
18116Did he plan this?
18116Did she carry a weapon?
18116Did the big fellow get a leg up on his job; or did the soldier fellow get the bounce for going outside regulations?
18116Did the half- breed woman known as Calamity leave the Ranch House the night before the examination of the mine?
18116Did you see that look?
18116Did you see the news editor before you left town?
18116Did you tell him that?
18116Do A see mountains, Wayland?
18116Do I need to tell you?
18116Do n''t y''think ye better open that pack, an''get a drink for y''rself, my boy?
18116Do n''t you see? 18116 Do n''t you think they''ll be wondering about us?"
18116Do n''t you think,asked Eleanor,"it''s time one of the race broke the spell of unhappy love?"
18116Do n''t you?
18116Do you know any reason for that sudden change of mind?
18116Do you know of any reason why this woman Calamity would have shot or wished to shoot, her employer, MacDonald?
18116Do you know what he is saying?
18116Do you like living here?
18116Do you mean you trust to my honesty? 18116 Do you mind riding back over the Pass trail; so we can go to the Ridge by the Gully, the way the outlaws escaped?
18116Do you remember, Dick?
18116Do you see the bluish shade to the shadows?
18116Do you suppose that little kindergarten ass thought he had come and caught me off duty?
18116Do you think they did it intentionally? 18116 Do you think we ought to have told her?"
18116Do_ you_ read the paper, little one?
18116Doubt you? 18116 Drinking those blue shadows again?"
18116Dust?
18116Eh, where''s this?
18116Eh, woman, do A scare y''?
18116Eh? 18116 Eleanor, do you know, do you realize--?"
18116Eleanor-- what is it? 18116 Equality?
18116Ever hear of the Down- East daily that black- guarded one of our greatest presidents the very day he died? 18116 Excuse me-- Mr.----?
18116Father, you do n''t doubt me, too, do you?
18116Feeling better, dear?
18116Fired?
18116Fooled you again, did it?'' 18116 Ford?"
18116Gifts?
18116Glad to see you, sir,said Wayland,"Been waiting long?"
18116Going to the Ridge to- morrow, Calamity?
18116Good: now what about the timber claim along the Gully? 18116 Had she a child?"
18116Has Fordie brought the sheep down?
18116Has Mr. Matthews come back yet, Calamity?
18116Have you filed for a homestead for each of them?
18116Have you had a pleasant day shopping, my dear?
18116Have you room on the Grazing Range for so many cattle?
18116He want t''know if Waylan-- Ranga fellah-- has ever stay here, dis house-- he ever go back Cabin House-- tepee on hill-- night dey keel leetle boy?

18116How did it happen, y''ask?
18116How did y''come up here?
18116How do you know he is old?
18116How do you know she had not one concealed?
18116How do you know that trail comes from the Ridge gully? 18116 How ever do you manage it?"
18116How far d''y''call it across?
18116How far do you make it?
18116How late?
18116How long since y''r sheriff thing set out? 18116 How many Holy Cross Mountains have y''in the West, Wayland?"
18116How many acres do you patrol, Dickie?
18116How many homesteaders did you succeed in nabbing out of that last train- load?
18116How was MacDonald standing?
18116How was it you attended the examination of this mine?
18116How would they come out from the gully on this trail, Wayland? 18116 Hullo up- there,"he called,"what''s wrong?"
18116Hurt something? 18116 I do n''t wish to offend your British sense of law; but which way now?"
18116I do n''t_ think_ they could see through those logs?
18116I hope you made yourself at home in the Cabin?
18116I thought you came down in a motor with the Senator? 18116 I?
18116If they''re lagging back for the missing man, why did n''t they leave a message sooner? 18116 If we choke this old chap''s account off, can you give one to us?"
18116If we served up those two stories together hot,emphasized Bat,"we''d about cut the throat of any opposition to our interests in the Valley?
18116If y''ll not admit the child''s story of her father, why d''y''admit this man''s story of him?
18116If you insist on leaving, Sir, there is an Indian woman here going down to the MacDonald ranch--"MacDonald, did you say?
18116In 1759?
18116Is dat true? 18116 Is he dead?
18116Is he--_home_?
18116Is it a bargain?
18116Is my eye playing me tricks, Wayland; or do A see something stuck on yon bush along the way? 18116 Is n''t Christ''s theory better, Senator, to make all the unfit into fit?
18116Is n''t it nature''s?
18116Is that a rain cloud comin''up?
18116Is that all? 18116 Is that all?"
18116Is that what y''call a false pond?
18116Is that what''s worrying you, father?
18116Is that''The Herald''? 18116 Is there any reason why anyone in the Valley might harbor a grudge against the sheep rancher?"
18116Is this the Ranger place perched on top o''th''warld? 18116 Is thus th''rha- porther''s room?"
18116Is your idea to run an altogether_ staid_ journal, or a yellow one?
18116Iss it Moy- eese, heem keel little boy?
18116It is, is it? 18116 It will be our last ride: you''ll come, wo n''t you?"
18116Kindly consented? 18116 Know anything about him, Bat?"
18116Know how we get high grade corn, high grade rose like this American Beauty: in fact, high grade anything? 18116 Libelous?"
18116Look Dick,she said pointing with her riding crop,"do you remember the night on the Ridge?
18116Look, what is that behind your shoulder, Dick?
18116MacDonald, why do n''t you take out your naturalization papers so you can vote at election? 18116 Man alive, but is that rain?"
18116Man alive, why w''d y''care for the devil''s dirt and skunk stench and snake venom, when y''have, when y''have That? 18116 Man alive-- is this Russia?
18116Matter? 18116 May I answer that question in my own way, taking plenty of time?"
18116May I look in and see what bachelor confusion is like?
18116Mountains in a desert?
18116Mr. Matthews, for what reason are you saying all this?
18116My dear child, do you think you need to tell an old stager that?
18116My name? 18116 Not coming Brydges?"
18116Not much value left, eh? 18116 Oh, does Mrs. Williams say that?"
18116Old man been giving you some good advice?
18116One of the chuck wagons''teams--"Herders all right?
18116Only a drop from a broken pine needle; but rain would taste good, would n''t it?
18116Or a circle dot, just put an X on top of the dot?
18116Or a circle with a line, put another line across?
18116Pretty good show turned on free every night?
18116Saw them?
18116Say, Brydges,called the youth,"what''s wrong with this account, anyway?"
18116Say, where ever did you get it? 18116 Say, you Vaylan'', huh?"
18116Say-- d''y''see the evening paper?
18116See those settlers''cabins at an angle of forty- five? 18116 Share?
18116Sheriff Flood in?
18116Sheriff live this way?
18116So if the cattle from Arizona have only a circle, all a new owner has to do is put an X inside?
18116So my old Mountain is talking to you, too?
18116So this-- is Eleanor-- MacDonald? 18116 So you''ve been trouncing the hide off my back for an hour or more to make me believe all this does n''t mean renunciation?
18116Stranger, my kiddie boy? 18116 Stranger?
18116Telephone my father? 18116 That you, Mr. MacDonald?
18116That''s ours, is n''t it?
18116That''s your theory of life, is n''t it?
18116The Men on the Job,slowly repeated Matthews,"the men we make earls and premiers of in Britain; but who of your big public cares one jot?
18116The Ridge trail is steep going, down grade, after dark for a stranger--"Stranger?
18116The fit survive because they are fit; the exceptional; the few; while the worthless go to waste?
18116The second time they have said that; what do they mean?
18116Then you''ll have to take the Happy Warrior--"I forget that one: I''ve been up here four years, you know?
18116Then, A wull guve it t''y'': wull y''write it, sor?
18116Then, if A commit a crime, if A cut y''r throat, Mr. Coroner, all A have t''do t''avoid awkward questions, is t''fill up? 18116 Then, if we are really on the National Forests, that is your territory, and we have the legal right to make an arrest?"
18116Then, why do you distress yourself? 18116 There really is a railway somewhere here, Wayland?"
18116They will blame you,he said,"do you understand me?
18116Think he smells water, Wayland?
18116Think y''could dig down to water with y''r axe, Wayland?
18116Thinks you''re hungering and thirsting for news of his flock, does he?
18116To mutilate thousands of sheep was damnable enough,said Wayland;"but-- this?"
18116To think, they''d stoop, they''d dare to splash their filth and hog- wash on her skirts, to hurt me? 18116 To this have y''prostituted freedom bought by th''blood of saints an''martyrs?
18116Too deep for poling in the middle?
18116Typical of a woman, eh? 18116 Vera noble of the woman;''tis all right on_ her_ record, Wayland; but what do y''think o''th''man?"
18116Want it for yourself?
18116Was that all? 18116 Was that before or after you went to the Black Hills, Calamity?"
18116Was the woman''s position such that she might have shot him?
18116Wayland, have y''on y''r mountaineerin''boots, the boots pegged wi''handspikes?
18116Wayland, is that water?
18116Wayland, is there no way of letting the public know what is going on? 18116 Wayland, is this desert light red or is it that A''m seein''red?"
18116Wayland, is this hell- broth of a sulphur stew doin''me? 18116 Wayland, man, is this Russia-- or Hell?
18116Wayland, who is this white- vested anarchist, this vested- righter who subverts your laws?
18116Wayland,he had exclaimed,"who is Uncle Sam?
18116Wayland-- what in hell-- do you think-- I''m working for?
18116Waz ye wantin''me faather?
18116Well, Sir?
18116Well-- what does it mean?
18116Well?
18116Were you so kind as to come here to say all this to me?
18116What A''m wonderin''is what y''fat Bat fellow''s doin''?
18116What about Wayland? 18116 What about the fellow who is n''t in on a share?"
18116What are they, Germans?
18116What are ye doing with y''r freedom, the freedom that the children o''light prayed for and fought for and died for? 18116 What did he say when you told him he was crazy?"
18116What did she answer?
18116What did the meeting say?
18116What did you find out at the Ridge?
18116What did you say the name was? 18116 What did you tell him, Calamity?"
18116What do they grow? 18116 What do you make of it?"
18116What do you mean by''delivers the goods no other man can deliver''? 18116 What do you suppose they think we are?"
18116What do you take the Senator for? 18116 What does the old mountain say?
18116What has the old boy got to say?
18116What in Hell is that old parson doing with that Shanty Town kid? 18116 What in thunder does it all mean?
18116What in thunder does it all mean?
18116What in thunder have the National Forests to do with the Rim Rock massacre?
18116What is he after, Calamity?
18116What is it, Calamity?
18116What is the use of talking?
18116What is your father?
18116What makes a man successful, anyway? 18116 What next happened?"
18116What night?
18116What reforms are you jollying along now?
18116What seal is that she speaks of? 18116 What story?"
18116What trouble in the mines?
18116What''s on?
18116What''s that ahead?
18116What''s that, Wayland?
18116What''s that?
18116What''s that?
18116What''s that?
18116What''s the matter with it?
18116What''s yon splash o''dust goin''over the roll o''th''hill?
18116What''s your idea? 18116 What?
18116What?
18116When MacDonald seemed to change his mind about going down the shaft, was there anyone visible except the Sheriff?
18116When do you leave?
18116When you arrested O''Finnigan for drunkenness, where was the woman, Calamity?
18116When you found the body, was anyone else present at the top of the shaft?
18116Where did the spray of flowers you gave me come from?
18116Where did you get that horse?
18116Where is Wayland?
18116Where''s-- our-- pardner--?
18116Where? 18116 Who did it?"
18116Who filled you up with this dope?
18116Who''s talkin''of gifts and things?
18116Who''s the old party talking to your road gang down by the white tent?
18116Who? 18116 Why did n''t you go round the upper end?"
18116Why do you tell me all this?
18116Why do you? 18116 Why has everybody gone down to Smelter City to- night?
18116Why is the man O''Finnigan not here?
18116Why would n''t you run if the people demanded it?
18116Why, it was the year o''the Kootenay rush, ye mind? 18116 Why, what difference can you make to Wayland?"
18116Will she dance in her copper- toe boots?
18116Will there be any charge?
18116Will ye make of self- government a farce, a screamin''shame, a shriekin''laughter in th''ears o''th''world?
18116Will you stay?
18116With my one arm, y''mean?
18116With trees up side down? 18116 Wo n''t you sit down?"
18116Would y''like me to see y''r lawyer man''bout puttin''th''ranch lands o''th''Upper Pass on th''market, an''settlin''up th''estate?
18116Wull thur be eny chaarge?
18116Y''been out huntin''them seven weeks?
18116Y''d'', did y''?
18116Y''had, had you?
18116Y''have a sheriff?
18116Y''ll be tellin''me y''r passion vows are stronger than life or death? 18116 Y''ll not offend the deceased gentleman''s memory?
18116Y''mind the man, whose wife died in the Desert, Wayland?
18116Y''saw them? 18116 Y''will, will y''?
18116Ye wish ye knew? 18116 You are sure,"he had asked as they came out of the evergreens,"that you''ll never regret?"
18116You ask me if I intend to break the law? 18116 You came-- for her?"
18116You did n''t contract to pay each of the little olive branches three- hundred?
18116You did not anticipate any trouble about the examination?
18116You did not know that you were overheard? 18116 You did, did you?
18116You do n''t really think death is the end of all, do you?
18116You know about the sheep?
18116You know whose drovers are rustling cattle up North from Arizona? 18116 You know, do n''t you,"he added,"that the flies actually do prefer white flowers; bees t''th''blue; butterflies, red; and the moths, white?"
18116You mean that you have lost your position because of the evidence you gave for us?
18116You say the wound was such that it could not possibly have been self- inflicted?
18116You''ll leave for the South at once?
18116You''re a geologist, of course?
18116You''re no temptin''me to take the law into our own hands?
18116You''ve got a thundering big farm?
18116Your territory, Wayland?
18116''Blocked at every turn,''--''Has your boasted Federal Government taken any action?''
18116''Go lean frying fat for posterity?''
18116''Member the place where he says''Thou canst not say I did it?''
18116''Remember the night on the Ridge?''
18116''Slimed with hypocrisy?''
18116''Tis a wish bone instead of a back bone the likes of you have; and it was too steep to see?"
18116''Tis bigger stakes I''d play for if I had m''life to live over--""What?"
18116''Tis why A''d take y''back t''th''little old lady waitin''in Prince Albert, an''put y''in y''r own place in th''halls o''Scotland?
18116''Twas half an hour y''fought them th''first version?
18116( Had he constructed the evidence so skilfully that he had come to believe it himself?)
18116--''This is the Service you are loyal to,''--''Who of the public gives one damn for right or wrong?''
18116A look would be a deep drink of living waters, she knew that; but would it, would it lie down and be quiet?
18116A mean, do y''think they lured us here to get rid of us?"
18116A''m no wantin''t''pry into y''r affairs, MacDonald; but-- is y''r will made an''secure?"
18116A''m none of y''r immigration boomsters who goes in a Pullman car, then tells the world all about-- Now, which way to y''r Missionary Williams?"
18116A''m not keen to go back empty- handed with yon little old lady payin''m''expenses heavy an''generous; but yet-- but yet--""Yet what?"
18116About Calamity?
18116Absurd, was n''t it, but the Ranger was not dreaming about the bevelling trowel of the titan mountain gods?
18116After what seemed an interminable quiet, Mrs. Williams was asking through dry tearless sobs:"What does it all mean?
18116Air ships?
18116All right; will you go down by the early stage?
18116Among them, did he see shadows moving?
18116An''care?
18116An''the dead ca n''t defend themselves?
18116An''the green fields of alfalfa-- Have y''ever noticed how th''light above the alfalfa turns purple?
18116An''y''r frowsy dyed- haired slattern wife told us y''were away?
18116An''y''saw us pass did y''?
18116And do you think the descendant of the Man of the Iron Hand thought anything less of her lover for refusing to accept renunciation as his right?
18116And like a woman, they wither when you pick''em, eh?
18116And see these little cheats-- pale people-- catch flies-- know why they call''em that?
18116And shall we blame her?
18116And she had known exactly what she would do when he came: she would be frank, perfectly frank and open; for had they not both taken the resolution?
18116And this is off y''r Forest Range; an''y''r not responsible for what A may be tempted to do?"
18116And was it not the Desert prophets, who had preached a God relentless as he was merciful; and the retribution that was fire?
18116And what was the sense of accepting a challenge to a losing battle?
18116And why had n''t he kept the tea leaves to put on his eyes in case of heat inflammation?
18116And you''ll not let the sheep spread over the fields?
18116And you''re loyal to that kind of Service?
18116Anything the matter with me that you ask that?"
18116Are the Lambs outside the fold not Yours also?
18116Are ye the sheriff''s-- woman?"
18116Are you a''vision fugitive,''O Ranger Man?
18116Are you the fellow I gave a permit to cut timber up on the Ridge?
18116Are you tired?"
18116As long as she loved him, and stayed where love could grow by what it fed on, would it lie quiet?
18116Auto suggestion, eh, Bat?"
18116Bat Brydges?
18116Been four years here, have n''t you, at seventy- five dollars a month?
18116Birds of passage, you know?
18116Bless you, my friend, do you need to ask?
18116Brydges there?
18116But I do n''t know your name?"
18116But it did go in; one evening paper?"
18116But suppose you do fight, and get licked, and get yourself chucked out of the job?
18116But what have_ you_ gained?
18116But what was doing with the Ranger?
18116But where was Flood; and where was the drunken man?
18116But, was it not the natural ending of brutality unleashed of law; of crime left alone by the good?
18116CHAPTER V THE CHOICE THAT COMES TO ALL MEN"Did you notice anything?"
18116CHAPTER XXIV I AM UNCLE SAM"So they would examine the mine to- morrow?
18116CHAPTER XXV THE QUESTION IS-- WHICH UNCLE SAM?
18116Ca n''t you head that off?"
18116Care, man?
18116Could Brydges have done it?
18116Could n''t he jump his horses over the gully that cut between the Holy Cross and the Upper Mesa?
18116Could the cattle barons and the sheep kings and the land rings fence them off the vast, broad, idle acres forever?
18116D''they sit down joyous at night?
18116D''y''know she goes all over the Reserve day an''night an''for three hundred miles among th''settlers to attend th''sick?
18116D''y''know that my wife came half way round the world t''marry me an''go penniless to th''Indian Reserve?
18116D''y''know there''s been none o''y''r race direct t''occupy th''manor since th''first Frazer fled from th''Jacobite Rebellion to French Canada?
18116D''y''know what A''d be doing if A let myself?"
18116D''y''know what a Ridge iz?
18116D''y''know what it means when men are driven outside the line of law?"
18116D''y''know when she found the Indians sick, d''y''know she went East an''took a full four years''medical course t''be able to attend them?
18116D''y''r homesteaders farm on th''perpendicular, or the level; an''what will they grow on these rocks?"
18116Dictated it right in to the typo machines?
18116Did Brydges, himself, believe what he had tried to convey?
18116Did he break loose by the back door?"
18116Did he burn himself, when he set fire to the slash?"
18116Did he credit what he had heard?
18116Did he love her at all; or if he did, did he know what this waiting all day meant to a woman?
18116Did it?
18116Did n''t he take the morning limited for Washington?"
18116Did n''t you mean to tell me more?"
18116Did the public care?
18116Did they leave it; or did some body else?
18116Did y''ask for a drink?
18116Did y''climb?
18116Did you come in to talk over these things with me, Miss Eleanor?
18116Did you find out anything at the MacDonald Ranch?"
18116Did you speak to me?"
18116Did you think the Desert flat as the sea?"
18116Do n''t you see how they skinned every branch?
18116Do n''t you see how they''ll clinch it?"
18116Do n''t you see the drift?
18116Do n''t you see what a cowardly foolish thing it would be of you to give up and slink into a hole just because you''re defeated?
18116Do n''t you see what a cowardly thing it would be to slink away now because you are defeated?
18116Do n''t you think there must be something in God and Heaven and all that?
18116Do they get anything down there in the awfu''heat?"
18116Do they get anywhere?
18116Do they get it-- what they''re hurryin''for?
18116Do you carry bridges in y''r pockets, too, Wayland?"
18116Do you know a quarter section of that big timber is worth from$ 10,000 to$ 40,000 to its owners, the people of the United States?
18116Do you know he drove that six mile tunnel from both ends and, when the two ends met, they were not two inches off?
18116Do you know that I have seen you less than ten times and really known you less than a month?
18116Do you know that last wagon is left there only because the rains put out the fire?
18116Do you know the Smelter Lumber Company takes all for nothing, half a million of it a year?
18116Do you know what happened?
18116Do you know what that Rookery gang is?
18116Do you know you can build a cottage of six rooms out of one tree, the very size a workman needs?
18116Do you know, Eleanor, that fellow had more pluck than I would have had under the same circumstances?
18116Do you mean the pork barrel?"
18116Do you remember about the snow flakes massing to the avalanche?
18116Do you think the kindly eyes behind those strongly focussed glasses did not bore in behind your guarded words?
18116Do you think y''r beasts will stand crossing before sunset?"
18116Do you think you could persuade him to stay over a day?"
18116Do you?"
18116Does the Angel Gabriel take note of such lies by women; and which side of the account does he put them on?)
18116Does the beautiful thing we call life spring from postulates and rules and mathematics; or from the spirit''s altar fires?
18116Does the country know what is doing?
18116Eh?
18116Eleanor rang off with a sense of relief; and yet with a sickening feeling, of what?
18116Ever read in Scripture of the cloud by day and the pillar by night?
18116Ever study Algebra in college?
18116Ever think what that might mean on the scorching Red Sea job when Moses led a personally conducted tour through the desert?"
18116Everybody coming now?
18116Exchange_ this_ life in the open, here, in the very thick of things doing, for that ancient tapestry plush upholstery blue- book existence?"
18116F''r instance, there is this sot of a drunken Shanty Town Irishman?
18116Fact is, Mr. Missionary, if you go into the ethics of things, you''re stumped the first bat: who gave us their land, in the first place?
18116Federal Government has blocked every move you have made to take action for these lands, has n''t it?
18116Fellow from the English colony--""English Colony?
18116Fine farm land, is n''t it?
18116For my part, I''ll not dodge the issue; and I hope you''ll not think me any the less of the hero for that?"
18116Fordie, I suppose, would be classed as one of the scrubs sacrificed for this perfection of party?"
18116Go on, what are you delayin''for?''
18116Good night, Wayland; think that offer of mine over?
18116Got anything up here?"
18116Got good big families, Bat?"
18116H''s gone t''th''citie for th''throuble that''s comin''on about th''mine, y''onderstand?
18116Had he not gone down to the Desert, and come back, and she had not known fear?
18116Had her eyes flashed it in that recognition of love; or had she said it; or had the thought been born of the peace that had come?
18116Had his own horses stumbled up from the lake along this trail?
18116Had it cut itself on the glassy lava rocks; or was it the hoof?
18116Had it really come to that?
18116Had not the wires been out of order since first he began to ring the bells of his little insignificant place to a Nation''s alarm?
18116Had one been set over against the other, like light and shadow, to train the spiritual eye to know?
18116Had the fine edge of citizenship dulled?
18116Had the modern world gone mad over air ships?
18116Had the veil lifted at last?
18116Had they deserted the third man; or had the third man dropped back from them to cut his horse''s throat?
18116Has age ever been young?
18116Has he told you about the echo?
18116Has n''t Wayland told you the flowers are the best part of the mountains in June?
18116Has y''r Desert got me, Wayland?"
18116Has your boasted Federal Government, so superior to the State, taken any action?"
18116Have Reclamation Engineers, and Land Office field men, and Forest Rangers undergone such hardships in Desert and Mountain, as portrayed here?
18116Have animals been bludgeoned to death; have men been burned alive; have the criminals not only gone unpunished but been protected by the law- makers?
18116Have n''t A seen you before, my good woman?
18116Have n''t A seen you, girl?
18116Have sheriffs"hidden under the bed"and"handy men"bluffed the press?
18116Have the federal law officers been shot to death above stolen coal mines?
18116Have they not only undergone the hardship, but been crucified by the Government which they served for carrying out the laws of that Government?
18116Have vast domains of timber lands been stolen in blocks of thousands and hundreds of thousands of acres through"dummy"entrymen?
18116Have vast herds of sheep been run over battlements?
18116Have we not given our whole lives to God?
18116Have you found out anything?
18116Have you issued the grazing permits, Wayland?
18116Have you seen anything about it in the newspaper?
18116Have you thought what that might mean at close quarters?"
18116He looked, what was it?
18116He may not have reached the Rim--""Let''s telephone that Ranger fellow?"
18116He would hire horses and riding togs now if she would say?
18116He''s got to be smashed?
18116He''s paid to defend or attack like a lawyer; and he goes ahead--""And does n''t pretend he''s fooling the public by giving news, eh, Bat?
18116Hell, what are you gaining here, man?
18116Here, Calamity, show this stranger which way to go, will you?"
18116His whole manhood went out to comfort her, to stand between her and what?
18116His work was on the firing line; and had she not_ once_ said that a life more or less did not matter?
18116Hoh?"
18116How are you going to get the Man Higher Up if you do n''t go right after him in the House and the Senate?
18116How could this thing happen-- to an innocent child?
18116How deep do you call it here?"
18116How did he know?
18116How do you suppose I knew where to find you?
18116How does she come to call herself Calamity?"
18116How is the world using you since you stopped tramping over the hills?"
18116How long do you think he''d keep''em in custody?
18116How many horses does the Govment allow?"
18116How many of the listeners had the faintest idea of what the recital cost him?
18116How''s the story?
18116Huh?"
18116I beg your pardon?
18116I have been right here, Calamity?"
18116I leave you to judge:"By God, if there is a God, why does n''t He waken up?
18116I rode in the driver''s seat coming down; and he told me how he lost his arm; Senator, think of the hero in him?"
18116I want''em run out, do you hear?
18116I wonder how the God of the game will square it with the dumb brutes?"
18116If I were young I''d take his bet an''play for the biggest stakes outside o''Hell--""Hey?
18116If th''Devil takes to the open an''the saints take to cover, whose goin''t''fight the battle for right?
18116If there is a God, does_ He_ stand for right?
18116If we keep on sacrificing the interests of the many to the interests of the few, are n''t we working back to savagery, Senator?"
18116If we let go a broadside, they''ll have to come out with the truth to shut us off; and there is where we are going to get him; see?
18116If we turn you down, who is going to raise a finger for you?
18116If y''find no spring, y''ll need the water to- morrow; but A''ll take y''r flask of brandy if y''do n''t mind?"
18116If y''married her, d''y''think y''could go off on the firing line; d''y''think y''would if y''knew y''d left her in danger?
18116In case, you do n''t see Wayland, do you mind giving me the exact figures about that independent paper?
18116In exactly which States have such episodes occurred?
18116In the''Independent''?
18116In which States have these episodes occurred?
18116Indian and Celt-- was that it, he wondered?--reserve and passion, self- control and yet the abandonment of force that bursts its own barriers?
18116Involuntarily, both men had wheeled the ponies back in the screen of trees, when the old man cried out:"What in blazes ails your mule?"
18116Is anything wrong?"
18116Is he dead?"
18116Is it a bargain?"
18116Is it a dream?
18116Is it here?
18116Is it not written''my house shall be for all nations; but ye have made it a den of thieves?''
18116Is it six o''clock we set out?
18116Is it the Desert playin''me tricks, Wayland; or do A see something?
18116Is it to send y''r Nation smash over the precipice?
18116Is it to this y''have let y''r Democracy come?
18116Is n''t Christ''s theory the theory of science?
18116Is n''t that always the way?
18116Is n''t there a fellow in mythology, Wayland, died o''thirst in water because when he reached to drink it, it kept waverin''away?"
18116Is that it?
18116Is that it?"
18116Is there another country in the world calls itself civilized would allow four herder men to be burned to death?
18116Is there any message?"
18116Is there such a thing as Right; or is Right the dream of fools?
18116Is this a true story of"the Man on the Job"and"the Man on the Firing Line"and"the Man Higher Up"and the Looters?
18116Is this y''r self government workin''worse outrage than the despotism o''Russia?
18116Is y''r freedom, freedom to right or to wrong?
18116It does n''t matter what happens to me; but have you thought what might happen when we catch up on them?
18116It has-- hasn''t it?
18116It was the manner, the proprietary manner, you are one of us_ now_: what had happened?
18116It was-- where was it?
18116It''ll be a double cross with a G. B.; but, speaking of cross, as we have to cross the lake, do n''t you think you''d better snatch a little sleep?"
18116It''s the same with the roses, and the same with men; and now where''s your fine theory of all men equal?"
18116It''s up to you?"
18116Jes as we commenced unwindin''her--""You mean the hoist?"
18116Kid stood gopin''there an''sayin''''What d''y''say?''
18116Know Calamity?
18116Know how those roses are produced?
18116Know how we develop Silver King Corn that gives ninety bushels to the acre instead of old thirty bushel yield?"
18116Lane of light?
18116Legion?"
18116Listen, the night you were up on the Ridge, have you any perfect proof that Wayland did n''t go down when you were asleep?
18116Loafers sat up and followed the stage with eager eyes far as they could see it and said,"By Gawd-- whose gurl is that?"
18116Love is so much more beautiful than a fellow could possibly think?"
18116Matthews back yet?
18116Matthews-- Matthews-- is that it?
18116Matthews?
18116Matthews?
18116Matthews?"
18116Minds me of the days A was bridge building in the Rockies--""Then you''ve been in these mountains before?"
18116Miss MacDonald, which is having the telling influence, for good or evil?
18116Missionary?"
18116Mobocracy, your grubby corn cob and trashy roses, that, what does it do?
18116Mr. Sheriff, you know this Valley and the people in it well?"
18116No flowers-- either of you?
18116No more fighting in the open, eh?
18116No, I''ll bet you, not; nor the gorge in behind this old Holy Cross; nor the cave?
18116No, ye do n''t mind, ye were n''t born then, were y''?
18116No?
18116No?
18116Not coming, Brydges?
18116Not in th''heat o''passion, but for filthy gain, has a free people come to this?
18116Nothing worth while ever won without someone being crucified?
18116Nothing wrong is there, Father?"
18116Notice the antics of the mule?
18116Noticed-- bless you?
18116Now do n''t tell me you want a job?"
18116Now tell me facts, not rumors; exactly what did you find out?"
18116Now, at last-- was it the end of a million years of pre- existence waiting for this thing?
18116Oh, God of Little Children, where are You?
18116Oh, gone across to the Mission School?
18116Oh, hullo, Miss Eleanor, how d''y''get here ahead?
18116Oh, well, I''m glad it did n''t go in the''City Herald''?
18116One got up an''he wanted th''_ dear sisters_ to raise a little money to build a fence; a fence, y''understand?
18116One law for the rich, another for the poor; and who makes the law?"
18116Or does the Fighting Line belong to the old Shibboleth legends of Canaanite and Jebusite and Perizzite and God knows what other"ite"?
18116Or is there any modern Fighting Line?
18116Or was his job to obtain certain results at any cost: and was this part of the cost?
18116Or was it as Moyese had declared with the most open and genial cynicism that"the public did not give one damn"?
18116PART I THE MAN ON THE JOB FREEBOOTERS OF THE WILDERNESS CHAPTER I TO STRADDLE OR FIGHT"Well,"she asked,"are you going to straddle or fight?"
18116Personally, I wonder when we all take to joining the sit- tight, safety- guarantee brigade, who is to stand on the outside guard?
18116Say--"sticking forward his face in a whisper--"Senator ought n''t to sink-- eh?"
18116See, each petal has a white veining?
18116See--?
18116See?
18116Senator man he keel heem-- keel leetle boy?"
18116Senator, how many generations have your people lived in this country?"
18116Senator,"he said tersely,"how much do you want?"
18116Shall we let the curtain drop, dear reader?
18116She could have Moyese''s scalp now if she wanted it-- all that''s left of it?"
18116She remembered their talk the night before of the snow flake falling to the same law as the avalanche; and was she not also a part of the Great Law?
18116She wanted-- what was it?
18116Should he leave him to die there alone; or go forth to seek; seek what?
18116Shut''em up from development for ever?"
18116Somebody got him and filled him up pretty full with a lot of lies about Wayland--""You mean Brydges gave him the facts?"
18116Sooner or later she would know, and, though she might remain mute, was she the one to make semblance of what she did not feel?
18116Stuck all over with false honey to snare the moths-- stew the poor devils to death in sweetness-- eh, now, is n''t that a woman for you?"
18116Suppose the follow who takes your place sells out to the enemy-- well, then; where are you?
18116Suppose you put up here for the night?
18116Talk of stuff?
18116Tell me y''r old dispensation''s past?
18116Thas you, ai n''t it Wayland?
18116That is what his man''s visit meant here the other day to express sympathy with you for the loss of the sheep?
18116That you, Brydges?
18116The Armageddon o''y''r Nation?
18116The Government men were paid less than foreign ditch- diggers; but then, which of the men remained in the Service for money?
18116The Holy Cross,--what was it she had said?
18116The driver''lowed he was: that''un dappled on the rump there, that''un was foaled, let me see?
18116The words came from Eleanor''s lips before she thought; or she could never have asked the question:"Calamity, who was it took your little baby away?"
18116The young man smiled very faintly, and was it, contemptuously?
18116Then give us a stick about it, will you?
18116Then one morning, the opal swimming above the smoke haze of the North shone,--was it the shape of a cross?
18116Then to Eleanor,"Will you come in the rig?
18116Then, she drew the burlap portiere across the mosquito door, and lighted her candle, and began writing,--writing what?
18116There was a rustle and a flump; and a mother grouse whirred up with her brood-- a dozen of them Eleanor counted, was it a second family?
18116There''s a lot about that Rim Rocks affair even the owners of the sheep do n''t know; but why in the Devil am I telling all this to a woman?"
18116There''s only twenty- four hours in a day-- they ca n''t catch any more by hurryin''--what are they hurryin''for?
18116They are three to our two?
18116They''d escape while he was having an attack of''look- the- other- way--''""Your idea to run''em aground in their own State?"
18116Think any battle would ever be won, Brydges, if the commanding officer had n''t the power of a despot?
18116Think y''r good for climbin''over this windfall while A carry this little puss on m''shoulder?
18116This trail go behind the mountain?"
18116This young fellow from Washington is the one to examine the mine?"
18116Twice Wayland had almost stumbled on a wolf sitting motionless, gray as the ash, watching the horsemen pass; pass where?
18116Understand?
18116Unless they give him half he''ll tell--""What?"
18116Very quietly, in a soft even voice he was reasoning--"We have been fighting each other for four years now?"
18116Was It speaking the same mute language to her It had spoken to him since first he came to the Holy Cross?
18116Was Right the sport of fools?
18116Was a new day not dawning?
18116Was each day''s birth the dawn to new being?
18116Was he down and out?
18116Was he thinking at all; or was he drinking, drinking, drinking life from a fountain of memory immanent as present consciousness?
18116Was he thinking of Calamity or Eleanor?
18116Was her feeling of rebellion but the kicking of ructious heels against the closed door of fate?
18116Was it a dream; or had Calamity come stealing through the French window to stand at the foot of her bed?
18116Was it a recital of facts, or a distortion of facts through a tainted mind?
18116Was it down the Long Trail where the tracks all point one way?
18116Was it fool- joy born of swifter pulse and time- old inheritance in the flesh?
18116Was it her father''s wistful look?
18116Was it renunciation?
18116Was it saddle wear or exhaustion that he stumbled as he walked?
18116Was it the cry of the flesh?
18116Was it the drive of those wheels of which he was a cog?
18116Was it the old mountain talking again; or was it the break in her voice?
18116Was it the rhapsody of self- hypnotism, which ancients would have called vision?
18116Was it the spirit of the ancestral Indian in her eyes; or of the Man with the Iron Hand?
18116Was n''t it more of that spirit of Let Alone?
18116Was n''t it possible to tame this one, to tame all modern dragons, put a bit in their mouths and harness them to good nation building?
18116Was that resolution for the sake of his work at all; or for her?
18116Was that the meaning of life after all, the strength and thew, the valor and might of the fight up?
18116Was that the seat of the trouble?
18116Was that what ailed the Nation?
18116Was the Nation losing the fine edge of distinction between right and wrong?
18116Was the fear for her father?
18116Was there a thing, beast or bush, not armed with the fangs of protection and onslaught?
18116Was this keeping him strong to his resolution?
18116Was this the way to keep him standing strong to his resolutions?
18116Wayland expostulated:"Do you know what Desert travel means?"
18116Wayland was thinking,--need I tell what he was thinking?
18116Wayland,_ is this Democracy_?"
18116Well, Wayland ruminated, who should say that they were wrong?
18116Well, they''ve got me, Calamity?
18116Well?
18116Were they moral cowards?
18116Were we creatures of circumstances, as the fatalists declared; or could we master and bend circumstances to human will?
18116What about the piracy and plunder of the property belonging to Uncle Sam?
18116What are you gaining stuck up here in a hole of a shack that''s snowed ten feet deep all winter?
18116What are you howling about timber for posterity for?
18116What became of the scandal story?
18116What becomes of any scandal story?
18116What chance on earth for an old bumble bee of a drudge like me without any wings and frills and things, all weighted down with cares of state?"
18116What could she do?
18116What d''y''know?"
18116What d''y''want t''give a fellow a medal for not bein''stinkin''coward?"
18116What did Moyese mean to- night when he spoke of''bow- and- arrow aristocracy''?
18116What did his four years''fight stand for, anyway?
18116What did one man matter in this big fight anyway?
18116What did she sneak for?
18116What did you change your homestead for?"
18116What do they pay you, anyway?"
18116What do you make of it?
18116What do you make of it?
18116What does the old mountain lady say to you, anyway?
18116What does the poor man do for the Valley?
18116What else does the poor man work for?
18116What ever are they waving so frantically for?"
18116What for wud A waste m''years doin''that?
18116What good does it do?
18116What had Moyese meant?
18116What had happened?
18116What happened?
18116What has_ that_ to do with paying grazing fees for sheep on the Forest Range?"
18116What he said aloud in the nonchalant voice of twentieth century youth keeping hold of himself was--"Not bad, is it?"
18116What in the world has a travelling half- cracked ranting old evangelist to do with the MacDonald family?
18116What is a''squaw man''?
18116What is that?"
18116What unseen hand had juggled entries, title and proof through?
18116What was happening to the old Britisher to change his point of view?
18116What was it about snow flakes massing to a momentum that bevelled the granite and rolled away the rocks for the resurrection to a new life?
18116What was it in the insolent look of the Senator''s ranch hand that had suddenly dashed the doughty Briton''s reverence for the instrument of the law?
18116What was it that comical old sermonizing duffer had ranted about?
18116What was it the old man had said?
18116What was it they had said to him?
18116What was it you said about a man chased by the devil setting a good live pace?
18116What was it?
18116What was it?
18116What was the ground of discrimination?
18116What was the pith of it all, anyway?
18116What was there to say?
18116What was to be gained?
18116What was to become of all these incoming people?
18116What was"the story"that he dictated?
18116What was_ It_?
18116What will y''do?
18116What will you bet the fire did n''t start in the timber slash?"
18116What would the people do about it, he wondered, when they came to know?
18116What would they do wi''a castle and liveried servants and tenants an''things?
18116What wud A be doin''goin''among a lot o''kiddie boys t''study Hebrew when A know the language o''the man on the street; an''A know God?
18116What''s become of him?
18116What''s so heroic about a man more or less going down in a good game fight--?"
18116What''s that lazy rascal of a Forest fellow doing?
18116What''s that mountain behind the cabin doing?"
18116What''s that?"
18116What''s the matter with Wayland?"
18116What''s the other factor for success?"
18116What''s the use of fighting the Smelter thieves, and the Timber thieves, and the Dummy homesteaders, and all that?
18116What''s the use of issuing a rag sheet that will preach to a little parlorful of sissies and high- brows?
18116What''s y''rs?"
18116What?
18116What?
18116When a man tells a woman that he is down and out financially and dare not ask her to marry him, do you think there is an end of it, dear reader?
18116When he had gone home and told his wife, she had asked,"For Heaven''s sake, Joe, what ever will we do, run a fruit stand; or peddle milk?"
18116When was it not late, when you were in a hurry?
18116Where are the bounds of the Forest there?"
18116Where the devil is he?
18116Where was the respect due"the vested rights"belonging to Uncle Sam?
18116Which is getting the crowd?
18116Which is the Mission?"
18116Which way do A turn at the foot of the Ridge?
18116Which way to follow now?
18116While the Law argued, learnedly, disputatiously, with the handing up and the handing down of inane decisions, Crime scored; and Who or What tallied?
18116While the churches and the teachers and the preachers sit back self- superior and self- sufficient, Miss MacDonald, where''s the crowd?
18116Who is Calamity?
18116Who is he, Wayland?"
18116Who is talking of pictures and things?"
18116Who is the old tow- head?"
18116Who planned th''Rim Rocks outrage?
18116Who planned this murder?
18116Who shall say that love did not pay the toll?
18116Who shot MacDonald by mistake?
18116Who was it had said that the only difference between charcoal and diamond was that one was soft and the other hard?
18116Who were the neighbors from whom her father stood aside?
18116Why am I an old bachelor?
18116Why are we so apart from all the people of the Valley?
18116Why could n''t America?
18116Why did she put on to be Mexican?
18116Why did the news that Calamity''s child had died bring such a sense of relief?
18116Why did the sheriff act as a mentor at the ear of the chief coroner?
18116Why did they leave word here?"
18116Why do n''t you let me send you up a couple of Moyese''s nags?
18116Why do n''t you play the game a man should play?
18116Why do n''t you put up that fight for us, now, Brydges, and stop giving us side jabs?"
18116Why do n''t you take the Senator''s offer?
18116Why do n''t you tell in your paper?
18116Why do n''t you tell the truth when you send the dispatches East?
18116Why do you keep on the job?"
18116Why do you waste your life pretending you are Providence steering the whole earth?
18116Why do your eyes look so strange?"
18116Why does any man stay poor in this land?
18116Why had the Smelter Coking Company a special pleader present?
18116Why had they gone on?
18116Why has it come?
18116Why is the woman Calamity, herself, not here?"
18116Why this incendiarism?
18116Why was it to be the_ last_ ride?
18116Why was the first session of the inquest adjourned till the burial of her father?
18116Why was the stenographer instructed to erase some evidence and preserve other?
18116Why, A contrived the meetin''myself this vera afternoon; wha''d''y''think o''that for an old fool?
18116Why, for instance was the local district attorney not present?
18116Why, how could he?
18116Why; anything wrong?"
18116Why?
18116Will one of y''pleash gimme a drink o''water?
18116Will you be all right, Eleanor?"
18116Will you believe me that is the first I have ever heard of it?
18116Will you give it a flare head?"
18116Will you hide behind that, sir?
18116Will you tell me if you know?
18116Wonder if they''re homesteading this next?
18116Wonder what the old curmudgeon brought her back here for?
18116Wonder who placed the saplings for a bridge?
18116Would Eleanor like some one to come over and stay in the Ranch House?
18116Would any power on earth waken the people up to do something, and stop talking?
18116Would he have dreamed less joyously if he had known that the portals of the Pass led to the avalanche and the desert and the alkali death?
18116Would he wish her to do anything?
18116Would it be so some day with the Nation?
18116Would it be the same with the Nation?
18116Would it lie down and be quiet with just a look?
18116Would it?
18116Would she ride back up the hog''s back trail with him?
18116Would the day ever come when they two could ride forth adventuring happiness together?
18116Would the wheels of justice rest inert?
18116Would time teach the futility of barking one''s shins in such fashion?
18116Would you like a lunch or something?"
18116Y''are insinuatin''this woman Calamity shot her master to avenge dishonor in her early life?
18116Y''call some the Painted Desert, do n''t ye?
18116Y''do n''t mind me callin''y''a woman?"
18116Y''ll not offend his daughter here?
18116Y''r Government-- the great world experiment-- is it the wull o''the people, or the wull of a gilded clique o''tricksters?"
18116Y''r learned men, what are they do in''for th''man on the street?
18116Y''r no thinkin''that; are y'', Wayland?"
18116Y''re sure y''saw them?"
18116Yaw--?"
18116Ye do-- do you?
18116Yet had n''t this thing happened in California, and happened in Alaska?
18116Yet why should she feel such alarm?
18116You ask whether I''d publish a yellow journal?
18116You ca n''t out- Herod a skunk; but you can bury it, Calamity, eh, old girl?
18116You do n''t want a job?
18116You here, Miss Eleanor?
18116You hold the Smelter should n''t take free timber from the Forests?"
18116You know how MacDonald house is laid out?
18116You know who pays the gang?
18116You leave an old fellow like me to gather flowers and quote''What so rare as a day in June''and all that?
18116You let the others go, feed''em to the hogs, understand, Bat?
18116You remember that night coming down the Ridge in the storm?
18116You remember_ who_ was at the Cabin, night we went up?
18116You run the cartoon, see?"
18116You see now why I must not see you, if we are to keep our resolutions?"
18116You think, perhaps, it was that Wayland had been dismissed?
18116You turned in at ten; and you found him still stamping about at twelve?
18116You will not stop, will you?
18116You would n''t be worthy of what?"
18116You''ll be all right, Eleanor?"
18116You''ll take a few of the herders up with you?
18116You''re next to the old man, Bat, what do you say makes him successful?"
18116_ Should those who had the power be given the legal right to take what they cared to seize_?
18116_ Smelter City Herald_--ye said?
18116_ Why_, is any man poor in this country, Brydges?
18116_ Why_, was he doing it?
18116_ You had printed the scandal story before you ever came in to me at all_?
18116a homestead, here, Wayland?
18116and Eleanor felt the leap to her blood; for the crowd outside took up the cry"Wayland, Wayland?
18116and oddly enough the lady did n''t flush; but the faintest gloss came over the saffron skin-- of what?
18116eh?
18116fear?
18116it?"
18116sacred?
18116to- night?"
18116turn tail like a whipped dog an''scuttle at first danger?
18116was it a form in flannels accompanied by a figure resembling Bat''s sauntering slowly down to the Valley?
21495''Spose they pitch us head over- heels down here and go off with our loads, what then?
21495A bit? 21495 A fortnight?
21495A joke, to fire on my retiring men?
21495A poor dreamer?
21495Afraid to go any further?
21495Afraid?
21495Afraid?
21495Ah, Quong, you here? 21495 Ah, but does he?"
21495Ah, how indeed?
21495Ah, my dear,she said;"awake?"
21495Ah, my lads, all in the dark? 21495 Ah, to be sure, boy, how do you know?
21495Ah,she cried, as I entered;"and what do you think of Mrs John?"
21495Ai n''t got another, have you?
21495Ai n''t they stopping up all the road?
21495Ai n''t you going to say a word to me, Mayne Gordon?
21495All a done?
21495All the way from the sea, eh?
21495All to get me a new pipe, eh?
21495Along the towing- path, eh?
21495Already?
21495Am I to promise, Mr Gordon, sir?
21495Am I to put them in the block- house, sir?
21495And could you?
21495And do n''t you want to go to sleep till you''ve built a house? 21495 And do you know where the skipper''s going as soon as he has unloaded?"
21495And do you live near?
21495And have you any capital to buy land, and stock it?
21495And now what about our claims along this stream?
21495And soon?
21495And suppose old Raydon wo n''t have us back?
21495And the men at the claim?
21495And the pack?
21495And the two men there will come and help us? 21495 And their own wounded men?"
21495And then?
21495And then?
21495And they helped you?
21495And walked in my sleep?
21495And what a pity it is for a fortune to be lying there untouched?
21495And what am I to say to my sister and her husband when they come?
21495And what are you going to do at Fort Elk, eh?
21495And when we are gone what will you do?
21495And wo n''t you wash for gold at all?
21495And would it be safe to trust them?
21495And you are going, sir?
21495And you can get over there?
21495And you do n''t like him, Esau?
21495And you intend to start?
21495And you made up your mind to see them through?
21495And you think he stole it?
21495And you went off to buy me a pipe, my lad?
21495And you will give up all thought of going, Mayne?
21495And you, Gordon, where are you going?
21495And you, Mayne Gordon,he said;"do you understand stock- raising and sheep?"
21495And you?
21495And you?
21495And your weak point to defend your friends, eh, Mayne? 21495 Angry?"
21495Any message to send back?
21495Any more questions?
21495Anything else, sir?
21495Anything the matter?
21495Are the bears very dangerous?
21495Are they dangerous?
21495Are you better, dearest?
21495Are you coming to bathe?
21495Are you going to Canada, sir?
21495Are you going to own it?
21495Are you going to own to it?
21495Are you hurt?
21495Are you scratched or clawed?
21495Are you still thinking of going, Mr Gunson?
21495Are you sure it ai n''t that pyrry stuff?
21495Are you sure it is gold?
21495Are you sure that you did not use the cane first yourself?
21495Are you willing to try?
21495Are you?
21495Asleep? 21495 Backed out?"
21495Be quiet, mother!--But how is it they''re going?
21495Bear? 21495 Bear?"
21495Because you ask questions like a Yankee commercial traveller-- drummers do n''t they call them?
21495Been fishing, Gordon?
21495Believe you? 21495 Better, my lad?"
21495Better?
21495Better?
21495Bit? 21495 Both dead, I think my sister said?"
21495British Columbia?
21495Bully am I?--coward am I?
21495But I want to know--"Yes?
21495But a doctor, Daniel?
21495But are we going to be kept in prison, sir?
21495But ca n''t we put it out?
21495But did n''t you holler out, or cry for help?
21495But do n''t you know that we should have a rough voyage across first?
21495But do you mean to say that up there we sha n''t get anything to eat sometimes?
21495But had n''t you better have him stopped and searched?
21495But has n''t he shown any sign of recovering his senses?
21495But have they arms and ammunition?
21495But he had more business then, I suppose?
21495But how are you going to get ashore?
21495But how can I, when I think the same?
21495But how can we manage it?
21495But how-- what was it set it on fire?
21495But how?
21495But how?
21495But if a delicate lady could bear it, why should not I?
21495But if they take us by surprise, sir?
21495But if we''ve got it to do, why not do it?
21495But is it right, dear?
21495But is there no boat to be had?
21495But it will be ours, wo n''t it?
21495But look at Dean, how slow he is about shouldering the pack, and-- what''s the matter with Quong?
21495But not so dangerous?
21495But she has borne it well?
21495But she is getting better, sir?
21495But suppose he came again?
21495But the broken spar?
21495But the sides,cried Barker;"ca n''t we all climb up here?"
21495But there ai n''t nowhere to go, and-- Oh, I say, Mayne Gordon, what is a fellow to do?
21495But these men-- will they attack you?
21495But what about fire?
21495But what about yours?
21495But what difference does that make?
21495But what does Quong say?
21495But what does he want here with a pistol? 21495 But what does your brother do?"
21495But what happened next?
21495But what was the meaning of this firing?
21495But what--"Am I going to do with the gold?
21495But where is your garrison?
21495But where is your ranch?
21495But where, sir? 21495 But who told them to take the boxes?"
21495But why did you not warn us?
21495But why have you got such a grand hot supper?
21495But will he not swim ashore somewhere lower down?
21495But will the banks be always like this?
21495But without means, Mr Dempster?
21495But would n''t they hear us?
21495But yew got''em off?
21495But you are not hurt, are you?
21495But you do n''t mean that you know that particular boy?
21495But you said you were disappointed, sir?
21495But you said you would come with us, and if we were taken ill, where could we get a better nurse?
21495But you were n''t afraid of''em?
21495But you wo n''t let them go up that bit of water? 21495 But, Esau,"I whispered, seriously,"has the brute hurt you?"
21495But, I say, how do you know it''s gold? 21495 But, my dear boy, how?"
21495But-- but had n''t we better get a party together, and hunt them down, sir?
21495But--"Oh, did n''t I tell you? 21495 But--""Shall I go over, Esau?"
21495By the way,he continued sharply,"what should you say to my trying your streams about here?"
21495Ca n''t we find some other way?
21495Ca n''t we make a raft so as to get to him?
21495Ca n''t you see? 21495 Call yourselves men to tie us two lads up, and do this?
21495Camberwell? 21495 Can I help you, sir?"
21495Can she bear all that sail?
21495Can we cross the river?
21495Can you lads swim?
21495Can you ride?
21495Cap Gunson no go long die self?
21495Catch hold o''something? 21495 Clean?"
21495Come here, will you?
21495Coming round, sir?
21495Could n''t walk up to what- its- name, could we?
21495Could you rig up the broken spar afresh?
21495DO I LOOK FORTUNATE?
21495Dangerous?
21495Day of the month? 21495 Dead?"
21495Did he play foul?
21495Did n''t I hear you two say that you were going by the steamer''s afternoon?
21495Did n''t offend him too much, did I?
21495Did n''t you hear me come up?
21495Did n''t you?
21495Did yesterday, did n''t it?
21495Did yew get behind the door?
21495Did you cut''em in three?
21495Did you hear me, Gordon?
21495Did you see anything?
21495Did you see anything?
21495Did you see me coming?
21495Did you see them come?
21495Did you shoot him?
21495Do n''t be afraid; you shall have a lovely home-- eh, Mayne? 21495 Do n''t eat''em afterwards, do they, Mr Gordon?"
21495Do n''t tell me,said Esau, excitedly;"think I do n''t know?
21495Do n''t you never think about it a deal?
21495Do n''t you think you''ve done mischief enough by betraying it to Mr Gunson?
21495Do n''t you understand?
21495Do n''t you want your breakfast, Esau?
21495Do you believe I told Mr Gunson?
21495Do you call that writing?
21495Do you hear all this, Mayne Gordon?
21495Do you hear that, Gunson?
21495Do you hear that?
21495Do you hear what I say?
21495Do you hear, beggar? 21495 Do you hear?
21495Do you hear?
21495Do you hear?
21495Do you know Mr Daniel Raydon at the Fort?
21495Do you know that boy then in the blue blouse?
21495Do you know what your young mate has gone to buy?
21495Do you know why?
21495Do you think I might have had a strong box instead of a leather bag?
21495Do you think it will come back?
21495Do you think they could hear us on the schooner if we all shouted together?
21495Do you think you can overtake him then?
21495Do you think you could find your way to Gunson''s claim?
21495Do you understand farming?
21495Do you want me to hit you?
21495Do you want me to send you to prison, sir?
21495Do you want to hang back, Esau?
21495Do you want to wake up some day, sir,cried the little woman firmly,"and find this poor, weak, suffering thing dying for want of help?
21495Do you wish to leave those who have been your friends in the lurch now you have dragged all this trouble to their door?
21495Does he seem in great pain?
21495Does mother want a great ironing- board?
21495Driven whom away?
21495Drowned? 21495 Each keep all he finds?"
21495Eh? 21495 Eh?
21495Eh? 21495 Eh?
21495Eh? 21495 Eh?
21495Eh? 21495 Eh?"
21495Eh?
21495Esau, can you feel anything now?
21495Esau, my dear, how can you?
21495Esau,I said at last,"do you feel any pain?"
21495Esau,I said;"you saw that big fellow with the gang?"
21495Expecting us, sir?
21495Fast?
21495Feel better, my lad?
21495Feel startled, Gordon?
21495Fellow is n''t obliged to smoke because he''s got a pipe in his pocket, is he?
21495Fever?
21495Fifteen dollars to Skimalt?
21495Fire- injins?
21495Fond of you?
21495For how long?
21495Forgotten what?
21495Fought? 21495 Found him?"
21495Fraser River, eh? 21495 Friend of yours, is he?
21495Friend or brother?
21495From-- where?
21495Games?
21495Going back now, ai n''t we?
21495Going back? 21495 Going on in the morning?"
21495Going to let them two sails drag down under the boat? 21495 Going to- morrow morning?"
21495Going?
21495Gold?
21495Gone?
21495Gone?
21495Good cook, I suppose?
21495Good heavens, Gordon, what is the matter?
21495Gordon,he said,"you and Dean have wandered about well, and gone in nearly every direction, have you not?"
21495Got a gun too?
21495Guess yew arn''t got such a thing as a saw in your pocket, hev you, either on yew?
21495Gunson said he was sure there was plenty if you could--"Well, could what?
21495Had a good supper?
21495Had n''t we better go your way?
21495Has Mr Raydon ever said anything to you about the gold?
21495Has he been saying anything against me?
21495Has he spoken?
21495Has master been scolding him then again?
21495Have some breakfast?
21495Have some tea,he said,"and something to eat?"
21495Have the others gone in?
21495Have you anything for me to take to the men?
21495Have you been at sea before?
21495Have you ever made the journey?
21495Have you heard of an engagement, Mayne?
21495Have you no idea what Dean has gone to buy?
21495Have you no relatives, Mayne?
21495Have you seen those men?
21495Have you?
21495Have-- have I been asleep?
21495He is the chief officer there, is n''t he?
21495Hear all this?
21495Hear that, mother?
21495Hear this, mates? 21495 Here, Quong, where has Mr Gunson stored the gold he has found?"
21495Here, skipper, two more passengers for you-- friends of mine; will you have them?
21495Here, what are you doing?
21495Here, what are you going to do?
21495Here, what is it?
21495Here, what yer going to do?
21495Here, what''s the matter?
21495Hey? 21495 Hey?
21495Hey?
21495Hey?
21495High?
21495How are you?
21495How can I get it done when you keep on chivvying me about the place?
21495How can I think otherwise, when I see you holding half- secret meetings with that man Gunson, who returns in force to destroy this place? 21495 How can it be brass?"
21495How could I have wanted to go back home to mother when she ai n''t at home?
21495How did you get away?
21495How did you know this?
21495How do I know when it''s so dark?
21495How do you get there?
21495How do you know?
21495How far would it be up to where this stream begins?
21495How is he?
21495How long do I think it will be before the travellers get across to us? 21495 How long will you be, sir?"
21495How many more times am I to tell you that Dingle will give us fifty pounds for''em? 21495 How many people about the place have you told about the gold?"
21495How much?
21495How soon shall you start, sir?
21495How was I to know you did n''t mean artful, and it was all a trick?
21495How would you like to be laughed at because you were thought to be a coward? 21495 How''s he going to know it''s us?"
21495How''s the bacon getting on?
21495How, sir? 21495 How-- how long has it taken you to save up this?"
21495How?
21495How?
21495How?
21495Hurt, my lads?
21495I am only a boy, sir,I said;"how can I fight for you?
21495I do n''t want Mr Raydon and my friends--"They have arrived then?
21495I do n''t want to show no white feathers, but I ask any one-- Is that a nice place to tackle after being walking all the morning with a load?
21495I say, I''m precious stiff and sore though; did he hurt you very much?
21495I say, Mr Gordon,said Esau, in despondent tones,"had n''t we better go back?"
21495I say, Mr Gunson, how''s it going to be?
21495I say, Quong,whispered Esau,"did you two find much gold?"
21495I say, arn''t going to the bottom, are we?
21495I say, do you think they''ll come to fight?
21495I say, have they killed poor old Gunson?
21495I say, how long has he been gone?
21495I say, is that true?
21495I say, mates,said the big fellow, with mock seriousness,"arn''t it awful to hear two boys lie like that?
21495I say, suppose he has collected a lot of gold, and those rough fellows know of it?
21495I say, think anybody has seen us?
21495I say, think it really is gold?
21495I say, though, do you mean it? 21495 I say, what did old Gunson say?"
21495I say, where''s old Quong?
21495I say, who is he?
21495I say, you''ll keep watch by Mr Gunson, wo n''t you?
21495I say, you''re not playing any games are you?
21495I say,he continued, with a forced laugh,"does n''t he look comic up there?"
21495I say,he growled,"are they afraid we are going to lose ourselves?"
21495I say,he whispered,"was I really dreaming?"
21495I say,he whispered,"what about that gold up yonder?"
21495I say,he whispered,"what has old Gunson been saying about me?"
21495I say,''tain''t so easy, is it?
21495I suppose you''ll trust me, Gordon?
21495I thought you did not want to be given into custody again?
21495I told him?
21495I understand; and what are you going to do, sir?
21495I want to know why I was n''t carried back in a litter too?
21495I wonder whether Gunson has found a good place for gold yet?
21495I''m not hurt, sir; are you?
21495I?
21495If they do?
21495Ill? 21495 In shooting?"
21495Indeed? 21495 Indians, eh?"
21495Indians? 21495 Is any one drowned?"
21495Is he an auctioneer''s porter?
21495Is he resting?
21495Is it all real, Esau?
21495Is it any use to shout and hail them?
21495Is it much further?
21495Is it very much farther?
21495Is it-- is it right through the heart?
21495Is n''t he? 21495 Is one any the happier for being rich?"
21495Is that British Columbia?
21495Is that a deer?
21495Is that all?
21495Is that your landlady?
21495Is there much more like this?
21495Is there much more of this?
21495Is there no boat?
21495Is there only one?
21495It is a grand valley,said Gunson thoughtfully, and looking at me as he spoke;"but as it is, what is it?
21495It was not Mayne Gordon who told you?
21495It was you who fired at those two wretches then?
21495It''s very kind of you,I said;"but what shall we do?"
21495Keep the Indians?
21495Know her? 21495 Know how many men you shot last night?"
21495Knows what?
21495Leave fo''Indian man come find? 21495 Leave our chests?"
21495Leave pack?
21495Let''s see: you asked me before, did n''t you?
21495Loads feel heavy, eh?
21495Look at my feet,cried Esau, piteously;"is that a bit of a game?"
21495Look here,I said sharply,"do you know of a ship going to sail to the Fraser River, or to Esquimalt?"
21495Lose life?
21495Lost, eh?
21495Make blead, flesh blead? 21495 Makes your hands nice and clean, does n''t it?"
21495Matter?
21495Mayne, my dear, you will not try and influence her son?
21495Mayne, where am I? 21495 Mayne,"said Gunson; and my heart seemed to leap--"Mayne tell me about the gold up yonder?
21495Me go''long nex? 21495 Me?
21495Mean to go? 21495 Medicine-- physic-- that''s what we want; drop o''spirits for medicine-- eh, lads?"
21495Melican tea? 21495 Money burning your pocket?"
21495Move? 21495 Mr Gunson, would two strange men, about whom you know nothing, be more true to you than Esau Dean and I would?"
21495Mr Gunson? 21495 Mr Gunson?"
21495Must I lie down?
21495My dear sister, how are we to get a surgeon to come up here? 21495 My hurts?"
21495Neither of you?
21495No brave will think that means gold in the stream, will he?
21495No good place?
21495No luck then?
21495No wantee Quong? 21495 No,"I replied; and then turning quickly to Grey, who had not yet spoken--"Have you seen anything of Quong?"
21495Not I. I say, you did n''t expect a ride like this t''night, did yew?
21495Not a bit; nor you neither?
21495Not alone then?
21495Not going to refuse travellers a shelter or a glass of liquor, are you?
21495Not gold- hunting?
21495Not hurt, are you, Esau?
21495Not on duty, Gordon?
21495Not see it? 21495 Not tell any one, sir?
21495Not to come back to the Fort again?
21495Not to cut off that yallow scoundrel''s tail, arn''t I?
21495Not worse, sir?
21495Now then, Dean,he said,"can you cook that bacon?"
21495Now then, are you ready?
21495Now then, boy, where''s your mate hid his pile?
21495Now then, where''s that there gold?
21495Now then,he cried, with an ugly laugh, which did not conceal his rage,"I''ve got you again, have I?"
21495Now then,he said,"will you come with me?"
21495Now then,he used to say;"ready?"
21495Now then,said Gunson,"shall we travel on together in company?"
21495Now then; write another directly,he cried;"and if you dare to-- Here, what are you going to do?"
21495Now what do you say? 21495 Now would a fellow who was all right and square come and listen to all we said like that?
21495Now, Esau, when did I try to feed you with a spoon?
21495Now, Gordon,said Gunson,"our landlady has been very civil to us, what shall we give her beside the pay for what we have had?"
21495Now, will you tell us?
21495Now,I thought,"whereabouts are we?
21495Now,said Gunson,"about your rifle, Mayne; can you manage it?"
21495Now,said the latter, as we finished, and Quong took our place as a matter of course,"what do you say?
21495Of course I do n''t know what your friends are, but does n''t the money run away very fast?
21495Of course,said Esau;"but why did n''t you say so before?
21495Oh would we?
21495Oh yes, my dear,cried Mrs Dean, clinging to my hands now;"and may I kiss you, my dear?"
21495Oh!--Well, Mrs Dean, how is your patient?
21495Oh, I am, am I? 21495 Oh, ai n''t I?"
21495Oh, ai n''t there? 21495 Oh, are we?"
21495Oh, is it?
21495Oh, that was it, was it?
21495Oh, that''s it, is it? 21495 Oh, was I, sir?"
21495On your word of honour as a gentleman''s son?
21495Once more, will you let go?
21495One man against a party of twelve all well armed, Esau?
21495One- eyed man with''em?
21495Ought I? 21495 Our luggage?"
21495Pay? 21495 Pig, eh?"
21495Pump?
21495Pyrites? 21495 Quite ready for your start then?"
21495Quong cook bleakfast?
21495Quong cook well-- better allee this? 21495 Rather lonely sort of place,"he said,"but it will do, eh?"
21495Ready for what?
21495Ready to come on with me now, Quong?
21495Ready?
21495Ready?
21495Right; and hurting him, eh?
21495Right; we''re going, eh, mates?
21495S''pose that''s old Gunson,said Esau,"and we''re going away from him now?"
21495Sails for the Fraser, do n''t she, to- morrow?
21495Salmon?
21495Say, stranger,said one of the men,"what''s your hurry?
21495Say? 21495 Scolding?"
21495See anything? 21495 See many bears about?"
21495See us? 21495 Shall I roar?"
21495Shall I wake him to watch while we sleep?
21495Shall we be safe?
21495Shall we climb up higher?
21495Shall we do it?
21495Shall we find this place again?
21495Shall we overhaul her?
21495Shall we run?
21495So that''s Fort Elk, is it?
21495So this is California, is it? 21495 So you are going hunting, are you?"
21495So you are true English?
21495So you came to let me know?
21495Some time?
21495Some trouble with-- my cousin?
21495Some?
21495Soon? 21495 Sort of man to talk to you, sir, as I see you are prospecting-- for gold, I suppose?"
21495Splendid clipper, ai n''t she, with cabins and all chip chop?
21495Spoken, sir?
21495Stop a moment-- to whom have you spoken?
21495Straits-- Gibraltar?
21495Sulky, eh? 21495 Take you, my boy?"
21495Tea velly good?
21495That man from the little valley-- Barker he says his name is--"Which was Barker?
21495That seems to be the most sensible way, my lad,he replied;"but how are we to get up the side?
21495That you, Mayne Gordon?
21495That you, Mr Raydon?
21495That''s different, my lads, eh?
21495That''s the way my work''s done, is it?
21495The Chinaman goes with you, I suppose?
21495The bear ca n''t have seized him?
21495The quest of wealth?
21495The skipper?
21495The west valley?
21495Then I dropped it?
21495Then he does n''t mean to go?
21495Then he is not in prison?
21495Then if I offered you work, would you like to stay here for a while?
21495Then it was not Mayne?
21495Then no one saw you there?
21495Then one more or less is of no consequence?
21495Then there ai n''t no one coming?
21495Then there will be some hunting and shooting too?
21495Then what do you mean by frightening a fellow like that? 21495 Then why did n''t you give it to Mr Gordon?"
21495Then why did n''t you go too, and get on fine?
21495Then why did n''t you say so? 21495 Then why did you go for it?"
21495Then why do n''t you say something?
21495Then why do you talk of going?
21495Then why does n''t she heave to?
21495Then why should n''t I come?
21495Then you are both going away, and I shall never see you again?
21495Then you are not disappointed, sir?
21495Then you believe I told Mr Gunson?
21495Then you do n''t want to go?
21495Then you have a good deal stored up here?
21495Then you have given up all thought of going abroad, my dear boy?
21495Then you have not tried?
21495Then you live in the Fort?
21495Then you really believe I told?
21495Then you think we have done very foolishly in coming?
21495Then you think we shall be able to get up to Fort Elk somehow?
21495Then you will act with us, sir? 21495 Then you will not believe me, sir?"
21495Then you will not go with me?
21495Then you will not work for the gold with us, sir?
21495Then you would not have come this way, Mr Gunson?
21495Then you''re finding lots of gold?
21495Then you''re going to pitch me over?
21495There are people who could help you to some engagement?
21495There is some in the basket, is n''t there, sir?
21495There, hold your tongue.--Now, you, sir, what have you to say?--the same as your companion?
21495There, what more do you want? 21495 There,"he said, when he had done;"want to write too?"
21495There,said our skipper,"what do yew say now?
21495They could not have got by us, sir?
21495They do n''t mean mischief, do they?
21495They would n''t let us go now?
21495Think I do n''t know better than that? 21495 Think old Gunson knows of those chaps coming?"
21495Think they''ll come up here?
21495Think we ought to have sent?
21495This companion of yours-- Esau-- do you like him?
21495This is the way my work is done, is it? 21495 Time to get up?
21495Time to get up?
21495Tired of this place?
21495Tired?--of eating salmon?
21495To fire?
21495To the gold- washings?
21495Told me?
21495Too much to carry back, eh?
21495Too proud to accept the hospitality of the man who has told you such home- truths?
21495Trouble? 21495 Turning nasty, eh?
21495Walk? 21495 Want a boy?"
21495Want me?
21495Want um fizzlum?
21495Want what?
21495Wantee fire-- make blead?
21495Wantee lightee? 21495 Was any one hurt?"
21495Was he firing at me?
21495Was it a bear?
21495Was it an Indian, Dean?
21495Was it ever as rough as this?
21495Was it going to eat me?
21495Was it? 21495 Was that foul?"
21495We can not?
21495We could go up that by a boat, could n''t we?
21495We could n''t get up there?
21495We shall have to climb up the side, and go round somehow, shall we not?
21495We''re going to take it, arn''t we, if he do n''t fetch it out-- eh, lads?
21495Well then, where is it?
21495Well then, why not make a mark?
21495Well, Gordon, what have you to say?
21495Well, I''ve got it worse than you have, have n''t I? 21495 Well, I-- that is-- if I''d--""Will you hold your mug this way for some tea, Mr Dean?"
21495Well, Mayne Gordon,he said,"you have heard the news, of course?"
21495Well, Mr Dempster, well?
21495Well, Quong,he cried,"what do you think of your work?"
21495Well, a chap can think what he likes, ca n''t he?
21495Well, ai n''t I?
21495Well, and if he did? 21495 Well, do n''t I know we have n''t?
21495Well, do you know he was working this claim with a Chinaman?
21495Well, have you been very fortunate?
21495Well, have you had a good night''s rest?
21495Well, have you seen Quong?
21495Well, have you struck gold?
21495Well, how could I help it, mother? 21495 Well, of course that''s what he did do, mate,"said the master, reprovingly;"and yew got''em to work easy at last, did n''t you?"
21495Well, sir-- well, sir?
21495Well, so you did, did n''t you?
21495Well, squire,he said,"what have you got in the commissariat department?"
21495Well, what about it?
21495Well, what do you say? 21495 Well, what do you think of it now?"
21495Well, what do you think of the Indians?
21495Well, what does he say? 21495 Well, what is it now?"
21495Well, what is it? 21495 Well, what is it?"
21495Well, what of that? 21495 Well, what shall we do?"
21495Well, what''s the good o''crying? 21495 Well, where are you going?"
21495Well, where''s your shanty? 21495 Well, who said we had n''t?
21495Well, why not?
21495Well, youngsters,he said,"going ashore?"
21495Well,I said, laying my hand upon his head, feeling nervous though not showing it,"are we to be friends?"
21495Well,he said, turning to me with a very grim look,"not much fun in getting gold, is there?
21495Well,he said,"what do you say?
21495Well,he said,"what is it?
21495Well,he said;"mean to go?"
21495Well,said Gunson, looking at Esau,"what do you think of the canon?"
21495Well,said Gunson,"what do you think of real camping out?"
21495Well,said Mr Raydon,"have you found him?"
21495Well?

21495Where are you coming to, you yellow- eyed, waggle- headed mandarin?
21495Where are you from last?
21495Where are you going to find your settler? 21495 Where are you going?"
21495Where are you making for?
21495Where do you suppose we are?
21495Where does the town lie?
21495Where floul-- make blead?
21495Where is Quong?
21495Where is the Chinaman?
21495Where is your courage?
21495Where should you go?
21495Where we can rest for the night?
21495Where will that be?
21495Where''s he hid his pile, then?
21495Where''s my box?
21495Where''s my stick?
21495Where? 21495 Where?"
21495Where?
21495Where?
21495Where?
21495Where?
21495Which way are you going, sir?
21495Who are those men, Daniel?
21495Who are you, stranger, and where are you for?
21495Who can say?
21495Who goes there? 21495 Who said you could, Clevershakes?"
21495Who says so?
21495Who shall go?
21495Who thinks you do n''t want to play fair? 21495 Who told you that there was gold there?"
21495Who wants to? 21495 Who''s a- going to leave his mother?
21495Who''s telling a lie?
21495Who''s that behind? 21495 Who''s that?"
21495Who''s to bathe when there''s everything to look at like this? 21495 Who''s trying to blind you?"
21495Who''s unreasonable?
21495Why are you laughing?
21495Why did n''t they hail back? 21495 Why did n''t you become friendly before, my lad?
21495Why do n''t you answer?
21495Why do n''t you tell him?
21495Why do n''t you wipe your nose?
21495Why do you laugh?
21495Why how did you get up here?
21495Why not let them go to it again, and attack them when they are settled down?
21495Why not try?
21495Why not? 21495 Why not?"
21495Why not?
21495Why should I? 21495 Why, Esau,"I said suddenly, as a thought struck me,"how about the bear?"
21495Why, Gordon, what brings you here?
21495Why, he do n''t know us, does he?
21495Why, there would n''t ha''been any harm in it if I had, would there?
21495Why, what about? 21495 Why, what idea have you got in your head now?"
21495Why, what is the matter?
21495Why, you did not go away to buy a pipe, did you?
21495Why? 21495 Why?"
21495Why?
21495Will I? 21495 Will it kick?"
21495Will you be silent, sir?
21495Will you believe me now?
21495With Dean, sir?
21495With all that wealth before us?
21495With their what?
21495With your feet like that?
21495Without provisions?
21495Wo n''t draw them away and give up the claim, sir?
21495Wo n''t you go first?
21495Would n''t old Quong like to know of that?
21495Would n''t what, my dear?
21495Would you both like me to come?
21495Would you take me with you?
21495Yes, I know; but suppose, as soon as you are gone, my sister and her husband appear, what am I to say to them?
21495Yes, I think decidedly one of the Government offices, my dear, but which?
21495Yes, I thought so, but what could I do? 21495 Yes, man, yes; where are the enemy?"
21495Yes, mother; more hot water?
21495Yes, sir; all right,said Esau; and it was then that I said,"Is it all real?"
21495Yes,he cried eagerly;"going to have a try for it?"
21495Yes; and altogether what sort of a man is he?
21495Yes; but are you going on with Mr Gunson here?
21495Yes; why not, if they tried to shoot us? 21495 Yes; you did n''t bring that and put it down there, and then pretend to find it?"
21495Yes? 21495 Yes?"
21495Yes?
21495Yew do n''t mean to go in the_ Pauliner_?
21495You all velly angly? 21495 You are going down the river?"
21495You are not afraid, are you?
21495You believe, then, that he is staunch?
21495You came after me?
21495You came after me?
21495You come along? 21495 You do not believe me?"
21495You had a regular scrimmage, then?
21495You have no friends then at Victoria-- no introductions?
21495You have not been watching here all night?
21495You have not fought much since I saw you last?
21495You have not walked?
21495You hear, Grey?
21495You leave me, then, to the mercy of those scoundrels down below?
21495You mean it, boy?
21495You mean it?
21495You pullee tail?
21495You pullee?
21495You sabbee? 21495 You saw who it was?"
21495You say wantee allee bone left?
21495You see if he do n''t go off with our chests, and then where shall we be?
21495You shot him?
21495You think it is not gold, sir?
21495You velly bad?
21495You want Quong-- flesh tea-- make blead-- now?
21495You want boy?
21495You want boy?
21495You want to go up the Fraser River?
21495You want?
21495You will go with me, Esau?
21495You will go?
21495You will let me go too, sir?
21495You will sleep here to- night though, of course?
21495You will stay with him?
21495You would not recommend me to try?
21495You''ll take me, sir?
21495You-- you are not very angry with me?
21495You? 21495 You?"
21495Your brother did, Ding? 21495 Your father and mother were both English, were they not?"
21495Your mark to show the spot, eh?
21495Your mother is--?
21495''Bout Quong?"
21495''Member that policeman as took us up, Mr Gordon?"
21495A dozen terrible thoughts flashed through my mind:--what should we do if he fell and was swept away?
21495About that gold?"
21495Ai n''t I trying to get a lot o''money so as to make her well off?"
21495Ai n''t it rather rum?"
21495All ready?
21495All the King of China''s horses and men could not build that up again-- eh, Gordon?"
21495Along the track by which I had just come?
21495Am I right?"
21495Ammunition?"
21495And I say-- ain''t he quite a doctor too?
21495And that reminds me, how is your poor ear?"
21495And then--""And then?"
21495And you remember how he threatened Mr Gunson?"
21495And you-- you scoundrel,"he cried, turning on me,"where have you been?"
21495And you?"
21495And,"he cried hastily,"you heard?"
21495Any of you know the_ Pauliner_?"
21495Any witnesses, constable?"
21495Anything about the gold?"
21495Anything else?"
21495Are they buttered?"
21495Are you in much pain?"
21495Are you not doing so now?"
21495Are you very tired?"
21495At last, after what seemed to be quite ten minutes, a voice said--"Hear that?"
21495Back?"
21495Bed- time, is n''t it?"
21495Been having a walk?"
21495Been here some days, have you?"
21495Been ill?"
21495Been washing for gold lately?"
21495Breakfast ready?"
21495But I say, Esau,"I whispered,"how are we to climb back?"
21495But I say, it do seem a pity not to get more of it, do n''t it?"
21495But I say, when is he going his way and going to let us go ours?"
21495But are you going alone?"
21495But did you?"
21495But do you really think it was a pig, sir-- I mean a bear?"
21495But if you''re going, I''m going, so how soon?"
21495But it is disappointing, now ai n''t it?"
21495But they''re going to speak; arn''t you, boys?"
21495But what about those scoundrels who made me like this?
21495But why not, my dear?
21495But you wait a bit; we''re going through the water free now, eh, squire?"
21495Ca n''t get along here, eh?"
21495Ca n''t you see I''m growed up now?"
21495Ca n''t you see him?
21495Can I do anything for you?
21495Can you climb up, my lad?"
21495Come, lads, where''s your money?"
21495Could it have been Esau, and is he playing unfairly?"
21495Deer''s very good to eat, is n''t it?"
21495Did Gunson know that this man was within a few miles of him, perhaps close at hand?
21495Did any one see him go?"
21495Did he know that Gunson was there?
21495Did n''t I hear one of you speak about walking on the bank?"
21495Did n''t he tell you?"
21495Did nearly as well as killing''em, eh?"
21495Did you ever do any gardening?"
21495Did you give Mr Gunson to understand where this gold was?"
21495Did you walk up?"
21495Do I look fortunate?"
21495Do I think he does like you?
21495Do n''t it seem a shame that a stupid bird should be able to go along like that, and we have to climb and fall down?"
21495Do n''t want to buy a bit o''bacon, I suppose?"
21495Do n''t you know the old proverb--`Let sleeping dogs lie''?
21495Do n''t you remember, where we saw so many trout?"
21495Do they feel very bad?"
21495Do you hear, Mayne?
21495Do you hear?"
21495Do you know how to handle a revolver?"
21495Do you know what it means?"
21495Do you know what shooting a man means?"
21495Do you know what that noise was?"
21495Do you know what would happen if it were known that this ravine teems with gold?"
21495Do you know?"
21495Do you remember your promise to me?"
21495Do you surrender?"
21495Do you think I want to run away with it?"
21495Do you think I''m going to be such a sop of a fellow as to sit down here and let you keep me?
21495Do you think he ever feels that we are staying too long?"
21495Do you think you can join some tribe, and become young Indian chiefs?
21495Do you want to be clawed?"
21495Do you want to quarrel with me?"
21495Do you?"
21495Do you?"
21495Does she say now she will not go?"
21495Eh?
21495Esau, once more, do you believe I told Mr Gunson?"
21495Feel giddy?"
21495Feel in much pain?"
21495Find gold?
21495First of all, what do you suppose I am?"
21495Found any gold yet?"
21495Go away?
21495Go now?"
21495Goes shooting in the woods?"
21495Going back?"
21495Going home?"
21495Going to stop here?"
21495Going up the Fraser, arn''t you?"
21495Gordon, where is the gold?"
21495Gordon, will you go and fill the kettle half full?"
21495Got any money?"
21495Got any tea?"
21495Got my clothes?"
21495Guess you''ll pay your five dollars all the same?"
21495Gunson looked disturbed, but he made no remark then, and at last I said to him--"I suppose we shall part company to- day, Mr Gunson?"
21495Had he after all been seriously hurt by the bear, and now sunk into a state of insensibility?
21495Had you forgotten the address?
21495Hang this lot?"
21495Has either of you seen a man here and those two lads before?"
21495Has he been saying anything about it to you, Master Gordon?"
21495Has he told you of his wish to go with us to the West?"
21495Have you any arms?"
21495Have you both got blankets?"
21495Have you driven''em away?"
21495Have you knives?"
21495Have you not been happy with him?"
21495Have you tied that other shaver up?"
21495Have you your knife?
21495He had noted that I was about to ask him a question, for it was on my lips to say,"How did you get to know of this place?"
21495He stood looking thoughtful for a few moments, and then said--"And young Dean believes it too?"
21495He will be back here directly?"
21495He wo n''t die, will he?
21495Here, Esau, what are you going to do with those ornaments?"
21495Here, are you tired?"
21495Here, lay hold of my ankles and hold me,"cried Esau,"Why?
21495Here, what are you staring at?
21495Here, what is it?
21495Here, where''s your money?
21495Here, yew would n''t hev that, mates, would yew?"
21495Here, you, how much did you get out of the stream every day?"
21495Here, you,"he roared, turning upon Esau,"where has he been?
21495Here; where is Gordon?"
21495Hey?"
21495His looks?"
21495How are we to go?"
21495How are you?
21495How can I tell what Gunson means?
21495How can a piece of metal out here be gilt?"
21495How can you tell?"
21495How dare you be gone a few minutes, leaving my office open?
21495How dare you?"
21495How did I know but what they wanted to pull all the hair off my head?
21495How do I know you do n''t?"
21495How do you go?
21495How do you know I am not an impostor?"
21495How far is it from here?"
21495How far is that mountain off?"
21495How long has he been gone?"
21495How long will it be before Mr and Mrs John get here?"
21495How many have you?"
21495How much gold have you got?
21495How was it you were with them?"
21495How was it?
21495How''s Mr Gunson?"
21495How?
21495I ai n''t nothing to you, and--""Esau,"I cried angrily,"will you hold your tongue?
21495I could see no danger, and I whispered to him the one word"Bear?"
21495I cried, incredulously,"because a rich supply of gold is found?"
21495I cried;"what is the use of your going away?
21495I mean how about your hurts?"
21495I meant to put you all aboard, and I''ve done it, arn''t I?"
21495I s''pose there''s tar and turpentine and rosin in that big tree?"
21495I s''pose you consider you found it?"
21495I said, faintly;"have I been ill?"
21495I said;"you mean stale?"
21495I say, Esau, you do n''t want to go back now?"
21495I say, I wonder what he''ll say to the judge?"
21495I say, ai n''t it too beautiful a''most?"
21495I say, ca n''t we get untied and drop on to them now when they do n''t expect it?"
21495I say, ca n''t we have a summons against him for assaulting us?"
21495I say, do you ever think about that gold now?"
21495I say, do you know where he hid what you got?"
21495I say, how is it going to be?"
21495I say, mates, who''s got the sharpest knife?"
21495I say, ought one to feel so frightened as I did then?"
21495I say, what did you go out to buy?"
21495I say, who''d have thought of our coming back again like this?
21495I say, why did n''t we find out she was going to sail, and ask?"
21495I say, wonder how much gold him and old teapot had found?"
21495I say, wonder how they are getting on?"
21495I say,"he continued, after shouldering his rifle,"did you two lads bring away guns?"
21495I suppose there are villages here and there up the country?"
21495I want to know what he wants here?"
21495If they do--""Well?"
21495Is he going to- day?"
21495Is it very bad?"
21495Is n''t Master Dean a long time gone?
21495Is n''t he rather an inconsistent sort of a gentleman?"
21495Is n''t it cold?"
21495Is n''t it thoughtless and inconsistent of a man to send two raw boys nearly all round the world on such a mad journey as this?
21495Is n''t there enough here for both of us?"
21495Is n''t this the spot we mean to have-- isn''t this the claim Tom Dunn come up and picked?"
21495Is not your friend and leader very unreasonable, young man?"
21495Is she better?"
21495Is that catalogue done?"
21495Is that you?"
21495Is there any fresh news of them?"
21495Is there no way through-- no path?"
21495Is this your gratitude?"
21495It is all real, ai n''t it?"
21495It seems to me that you are alone, an orphan without a chance of raising yourself here: will you come with us to try your fortune in the new land?"
21495It was getting quite dark, when Gunson said suddenly--"Now is there anything else we could do-- anything we have not thought of?"
21495It was just as if it kept whispering,` Do n''t go; you''ll be sure to fall, and then what''ll your mother say?''"
21495Ketched you, have I, making plots and plans?"
21495Know how to make tea, Gordon?
21495Let me see; what did some one say about the employment of boys?
21495Like to have a good wash?"
21495Like your friend there, Esau-- tired of me?"
21495Look here, my lad,"he said, after a pause,"how are you going to manage when you get ashore at Victoria?"
21495Look here, what gold have you got?"
21495Look here; these people are decent, clean, and honest,--do as you like,-- had n''t you better come here?
21495Makee flesh blead-- flesh tea?"
21495Master Gordon, what had he done?"
21495Mates, you wo n''t cave in and give up a claim like this?"
21495Mayne, you have never told them all I said to you?"
21495Me and my mates have chosen this patch, so you''ll have to go higher up or lower down; have n''t we, lads?"
21495Me findee gole?"
21495More than two, you say?"
21495Mr Esau Dean, may I have the pleasure of helping you to some poy?"
21495Mr Gordon, what am I to do?"
21495Mr Gunson there?"
21495Mr Raydon--""Sent you to warn me?"
21495Mrs Dean ran to Esau, and flung her arms about his neck, as Mr Raydon said angrily--"What is the meaning of this?"
21495Must teach''em better, must n''t us?"
21495My brother- in- law-- did I not tell you?"
21495Never thought of that, I suppose?"
21495Not ill?"
21495Not make use of our discovery?"
21495Not profitable work, eh?"
21495Nothing to say to the chief?"
21495Now I ask you, ai n''t a fix like this enough to make any fellow unreasonable?"
21495Now do you see why I have kept my counsel so long?"
21495Now do you, Mr Gordon?"
21495Now then, are you going to pay those twenty dollars each for your passages?"
21495Now then, how are you going to mark the tree?"
21495Now then, shall I tell you?"
21495Now then, what do you say to going on?"
21495Now then, what had we better do?"
21495Now then, will you lie down and have another nap?"
21495Now then, you,"he said, turning to Esau,"where''s your mate keep his pile?"
21495Now then: can we recollect this spot exactly?"
21495Now then; ready?"
21495Now what have you-- what have any of you to say?"
21495Now, Dean,"he continued, touching him with his foot,"are you going to lie there all day?"
21495Now, Esau Dean, what do you say?"
21495Now, Esau Dean, what have you to say?"
21495Now, are you ready?
21495Now, let me see-- let me see-- what steps ought I to take first?
21495Now, shortly, please, how did it happen?"
21495Of course you are not frightened, Dean?"
21495Oh, then you want to fight, do you?"
21495Oh, those are their footprints, are they?"
21495Or have you passed them?"
21495Play Robinson Crusoe in the woods?
21495Plenty blead?"
21495Queer?"
21495Quong no make good blead?"
21495Rather a wild place to bring my sister to-- eh, Mayne?"
21495Raydon has n''t let you come gold- washing?"
21495Raydon, what will that place be in a year?"
21495Ready for some coffee and bread and butter?"
21495Ready?
21495S''pose you ca n''t get over after, or tumble down, what am I to say to that Mr John?"
21495Say it was me, eh?
21495Say, do yew know what they do in Cornwall in England?
21495Say, youngster, any message for that there chap as you hit?"
21495See it?"
21495See that chap over there?"
21495Seen the bear?"
21495Shall I tell you all about it?
21495Shall we fire over their heads?"
21495Shall we have old Quong?"
21495Shall we have one now or start at once?"
21495Shall we have to go without sometimes like that?"
21495Shall we try and get a few for dinner; the old man likes them?"
21495Shall you come and live with us, or with Mr and Mrs John?"
21495Should I be doing right?
21495Should I be doing right?"
21495So different like to Mrs John, eh?"
21495So once for all, will you stick to it?"
21495Soon be there now, I think, sha n''t we?"
21495Start this morning, do n''t you?"
21495Suppose he is up there somewhere alone, and has found a great deal of gold?"
21495That gang again?"
21495That''s a little craft to move, ai n''t she?"
21495That''s fair, ai n''t it, mates?"
21495The man looked as he pointed, but nothing was visible, and just then the woman cried out--"Why, where''s your mate?"
21495The world''s big enough and round enough for you, is n''t it?"
21495Then the white- headed old gentleman said--"Well, Mr Dempster, what have you to say?"
21495Then turning to me,"May I know the cause of the disgraceful scene that was taking place a little while ago?"
21495Then what''s it to be?"
21495Then, if we found the valley, how were we to find out the place where Gunson had made his camp?
21495There, do you hear?"
21495There, mother, will that do?"
21495They were good''uns too, real leather, as a saddler--""Well?"
21495Think I shall do you a mischief?"
21495Think it will do for you?"
21495Think nobody never learnt jography but you?"
21495Think we shall catch the schooner, skipper?"
21495Think you''d caught a little trout?"
21495This is a very serious business; what have you to say?"
21495To a nice place?"
21495Traveller?
21495Tried it before, perhaps?"
21495Velly ofen?
21495WAS I DREAMING?
21495Want tea?"
21495Want to be washed overboard?"
21495Want to get at it again?
21495Washee washee gole?
21495We had nearly reached the place, when I heard a familiar voice say--"What''s the matter with that dog?"
21495We sat listening to the barking till it ceased, and then Esau said--"Did seem too hard, did n''t it?
21495We''re in for it, so what''s the good o''making a fuss?"
21495Well, did you get a good dinner?"
21495Well, how am I to describe him?
21495Well, how did you get on then?"
21495Well, nurse, how is your patient?"
21495Well, sir?"
21495Well, suppose I say go, and you make your way back along the river very slowly, for you are in a miserably weak state?"
21495Well, what are you going to do?"
21495Well, what are you looking at?"
21495Well, what do you think of it?"
21495Well, where is Quong?"
21495Well,"he continued, as we began,"what''s it to be?
21495Well,"he continued,"shall I take you to the captain?
21495Wet stones?
21495What Quong been do?"
21495What are you both going to do?"
21495What are you doing?
21495What are you going to do?"
21495What are you going to do?"
21495What are you looking at over yonder?"
21495What business had he to interfere and keep it all from us?
21495What can I say?"
21495What did those rascals want twenty- five and then twenty dollars a- piece for your passage money?
21495What difference does one make?"
21495What do you know about crops?
21495What do you know about the place, and which way will you go?"
21495What do you know of the country?"
21495What do you mean by interfering?
21495What do you mean?
21495What do you mean?"
21495What do you propose doing first?"
21495What do you say to camping out in the forest with no cover but a blanket, and the rain coming down in sheets?
21495What do you say to getting out at the next pier and walking back?"
21495What do you say, Mr Raydon-- would they have found their way up here alone?"
21495What do you say?
21495What do you think I ought to do?"
21495What do you think my mother would say if she saw me coming here and going to start over that place?
21495What have you got?"
21495What have you?"
21495What is it, lad?
21495What is the meaning of it all?"
21495What more do you want?"
21495What more does a fellow want?"
21495What orders?"
21495What ought I to do?
21495What pier?
21495What savages really are, Gordon?
21495What shall I do?"
21495What shall us do-- go and have a bit of fun, or get on board at the docks?"
21495What shall we do?
21495What shall we do?"
21495What should I have done if it had been he?"
21495What then?"
21495What tree has he gone up?"
21495What would Mr John say?
21495What would Mrs John think?
21495What would become of me?"
21495What would you do?"
21495What would you like-- a deer?
21495What yer doing of?
21495What yer going off and leaving all your passengers behind for?"
21495What yer thinking about, Mr Gordon?"
21495What''ll Mr Raydon say to us this morning?"
21495What''s that?"
21495What''s the good o''being so aggravating, and keeping on saying we ain''t-- we ai n''t?
21495What''s the good o''keeping on with all that make- believe?
21495What''s the good of making a fuss over it with me?
21495What''s the good of making all that fuss?
21495What''s the matter with you?
21495What, touching me like that?"
21495What?
21495When do you go?"
21495When you get to the Fraser, how do you mean to journey hundreds of miles up to Fort Elk?"
21495Where are you bound for?"
21495Where are you going?"
21495Where are you staying, my lads?"
21495Where are you, Mayne?
21495Where do you want to go?"
21495Where does it come from then?"
21495Where have you been?"
21495Where is Dean?"
21495Where is it then?"
21495Where is it, Ding?"
21495Where is it?
21495Where is your ship to go to for stores?
21495Where may you be going, squire?"
21495Where were they going?
21495Where''s your traps?
21495Where?"
21495Where?"
21495Where?"
21495Which way shall you go at first?"
21495Who are those men?"
21495Who are you?"
21495Who fired there?"
21495Who goes first?"
21495Who shouted?"
21495Who was it ran away?
21495Who''s Mr Raydon that he''s to have everything his way?
21495Who''s that?
21495Why could n''t you sleep?"
21495Why did n''t you say so sooner?"
21495Why did you stop?"
21495Why do n''t you get out of it?"
21495Why do n''t you set to work and build one ready when she does come?"
21495Why not?"
