50091Which way was he travelling?
50091Who are these?
50091Who b- be you?
50091Who is Dunmore?
50091Who you been yellin''at?
50091Who''ll tek care of''em?
50091Who''s j- job?
50091Who''s the Sundayman?
50091Who''s there?
50091Who?
50091Why do n''t ye walk a little faster?
50091Why not play horse with your sister?
50091Why not?
50091Why?
50091Why?
50091Why?
50091Why?
50091Will you never stop wounding me?
50091Will you not say that you love me?
50091Will you not speak to me?
50091Will you not stay a little longer?
50091Would you care if you never saw me again?
50091Y- you agree?
50091Yes; would you like to take him home with you, too?
50091You ain''t''fraid, are you, Uncle Robert?
50091You an''I have been friends for some time, have n''t we?
50091You do want her-- don''t you, Uncle Robert?
50091You mean that we can not use the camp over there?
50091You will not forget to come Thursday?
50091You would n''t tell me?
50091You''d carry her on your back-- wouldn''t you, Uncle Robert?
50091You''d let her wear your watch-- wouldn''t you?
50091After a moment he added:"Strong, do you remember that song I wrote for you?
50091After a moment of silence he asked,"What''ll become o''the country?"
50091All eyes were fixed upon the unhappy pair as if to say,"How about your Uncle Silas now?"
50091And what of Migley and the rest?
50091Any camp near?"
50091Anything new?"
50091But what is impossible when the strong heart of youth, warmed with dauntless courage, turns to its task?
50091Could n''t you go to the plains?"
50091Do you go wanderin''all over the woods like a bear?"
50091Do you think Master has bought him?"
50091Had he heard it?
50091Had he not heard in his dreams the splash of leaping trout, and deer playing in the lily- pads?
50091Had he nothing to give them but disappointment?
50091Had he witnessed the first scenes of his own life comedy?
50091Have a drink?"
50091Have you?"
50091He had begun to think very favorably of Mr. Dunmore, and timidly put the question:"Are-- are you anybody''s gran''pa?"
50091He leaned over and whispered into the ear of Socket,"What kind of a man is Strong?"
50091He often asked, proudly,"Which way we goin''?"
50091He shook her and shouted, almost fiercely,"The leetle f- fawns-- wh- where be they?"
50091He turned to the boy and asked, hopefully,"How''bout yer Uncle S- Silas?"
50091He''s gi''n ye health an''strength an''talents an''a?
50091How else, thought he, could he have stood the reproaches of brutal men?
50091If so, what would the next be?
50091In a moment she asked,"What you goin''t''do with them sick folks that''s camped over at Robin?"
50091In a moment she said,"Tell me what are we to do when those we love die?"
50091In half a moment she suggested, her eyes covered with her hands,"You do n''t love God better than Uncle Silas?"
50091It was a journey to Buckhom, and her little guide-- where was he?
50091Just now an- idea occurred to him-- why should n''t he, in his own person, supply the deficiencies of the great man they had come to see?
50091Must his father endure that kind of thing?
50091Now what are they?
50091Promptly and almost aggressively the query came,"Regarding whom?"
50091Shall we say that Satan had filled the man with his own greatness the better to work upon him?
50091She whispered in the ear of the little girl,"Would you let me have him?"
50091Socky answered, promptly,"Yes; do you?"
50091Strong?"
50091Suppose we tackle it on my return?"
50091The latter put his hand to his ear and said,"What?"
50091The little people would need boots and dresses, and why should n''t they have a rocking- horse or some cheering toy of that character?
50091Then she whispered,"Where is he?"
50091Then, half blinded by thickening smoke and groping on her way to the other tent, she said, despairingly,"I wonder where Silas is?"
50091Was it all a pleasant dream, and was there no such wonderful creature among the children of men?
50091What d''ye come to, anyway, when ye think it all over?"
50091What did they mean?
50091What do you think we''re fishing for, anyway?"
50091What should he do with them and with"Mis''Strong"?
50091What was that sound far up the ridge before her?
50091What ye going to do with a man who wo n''t drink or talk or swap lies with ye?
50091Where ye goin''?"
50091Who could be crossing at that hour?
50091Who was to pay Macdonald for his work?
50091Why not, if one''s art can perform miracles?
50091Would n''t you?"
50091Would she not come again?
50091You know what comes to the rotten- hearted?"
50091she exclaimed, raising one of her hands and letting it fall again;"she looks like Sister Thankful-- don''t she, do n''t she, Silas?"
50091where''s her other leg?"
50091you do like childem-- don''t ye?
22667An injunction?
22667And argument wo n''t bring to you any sense of reason and decency, will it?
22667And if he gives his orders to blow hell out of the bottom of the river, I suppose you''ll obey, eh?
22667And live in those beehives of yours, paying big rent, competing with the riffraff help you hire from employment agencies? 22667 And now may I go along?"
22667And ran and tattled to Flagg, eh?
22667And the conditions are?
22667And what''s he saying of particular interest to us?
22667And what''s that?
22667And you know about it, do you, because you are one of the detective gang?
22667And you prefer to boss rough men and endure hardship rather than to come with me?
22667And you''re starting back to- day for the drive?
22667Another case of David and Goliath, eh?
22667Are Comas men guarding Skulltree dam?
22667Are there more notes? 22667 Are you afraid of the truth, Mr. Latisan-- scared to meet it face to face in a showdown?"
22667Are you from the north country?
22667Are you holding an especial grudge against him?
22667Are you sure?
22667Ask him what?
22667Brophy, what''s her own business in these parts?
22667Business-- with me?
22667But what about it?
22667But what has become of Kennard?
22667But where is she? 22667 But your men will keep on working, wo n''t they, sir?"
22667But-- but----"But what?
22667Ca n''t you see that I''m placing a double- crosser in the enemy''s camp?
22667Ca n''t you see that you''re driving me insane with your girl''s folly? 22667 Can you start back at once?"
22667Could n''t there have been another reason why he was chosen for such an honor?
22667Craig, let me ask you, are you moving along the lines of the law we have behind us in those special acts I steered through?
22667Crowley, wo n''t you leave it all to me?
22667Did he say what he proposed to do?
22667Did she promise to marry you as soon as the Flagg drive was down?
22667Did you note where the main bunch is, miss?
22667Did you say what ought to be said to that conductor?
22667Do I understand that the Flagg crew is breaking up?
22667Do any of you like to back him up?
22667Do n''t you value your reputation among men?
22667Do n''t you want to please me?
22667Do our logs go through Skulltree by your decent word to us?
22667Do you agree, Latisan?
22667Do you believe that?
22667Do you give up the fight?
22667Do you hear that, Latisan? 22667 Do you know any good reason why you ca n''t deliver?"
22667Do you live here in New York-- handy by?
22667Do you mean that you''re going away?
22667Do you propose to be captain?
22667Do you see what he did to me in New York?
22667Do you speak of me?
22667Do you think I am a complete fool? 22667 Do you think I can get the job?"
22667Do you think it will do us any good to bring up what has happened? 22667 Do you think the landlord would hire me as a waitress?"
22667Do you want to hire a waitress from the city?
22667Does that fresh news scare anybody?
22667Does that make any difference in your stand here to- day?
22667Echford Flagg?
22667Excuse me, Latisan, but is it true that Mr. Flagg has suffered a stroke of paralysis?
22667Flagg dead?
22667For what?
22667For your conveyance? 22667 Got her?"
22667Has he delegated to you any authority to compromise?
22667Have n''t you any wit in you?
22667Hey, Martin, is n''t there a gad in the cultch under your office desk?
22667How about bumping him on his soft spot?
22667How come?
22667How do I know what your scheme is? 22667 How long have you been acquainted in these parts?"
22667How many times, and where, did you hit him? 22667 How many?"
22667How the hell can they come singing? 22667 I beg your pardon,"put in Crowley,"But ca n''t the three of us step inside and have a little private talk?"
22667I suppose you hold a grudge against this agency, do n''t you?
22667I take it that you''re well acquainted with this region?
22667I''m putting it up to you again-- will you and your father sell to the Comas?
22667If I get to own timberlands, who knows?
22667If you''re going to look the place over, wo n''t you allow me to go along?
22667Is any man afeard?
22667Is his mind clear for business?
22667Is it well to let the Comas know that you are here or what you are going to do? 22667 Is n''t the hotel a fit place for a woman who is unaccompanied?"
22667Is n''t there a village in the Noda called Adonia?
22667It rather puts strangers at their ease, do n''t you think, a little tobacco haze in the room?
22667Just what?
22667Just who is this young Latisan?
22667Just why did she urge you so strongly to go back to the drive?
22667Just why do you want to see Miss Jones?
22667Look here, Crowley, what kind of a yarn is this?
22667May I ask what you mean by taking chances? 22667 May I have your company to the dam?
22667May I not exchange my hospitality for your courtesy?
22667Now you''re talking of violence to Latisan, are n''t you?
22667Pretty uppish, ai n''t he?
22667Ride?
22667Same room for me?
22667Shall I repeat the order?
22667She told me so, but how can she have any affection for such a man as I have shown myself to be? 22667 She works for you?"
22667Sis, where did ye learn the twist of the Flagg wrist when ye set that staff?
22667So that''s more of your devilish business, is it, sending gunmen to fight honest workers?
22667So that''s what you are, is it?
22667Suppose I slip a picked crowd of my operatives into his crew?
22667That you, Latisan?
22667That''s her real name, is it? 22667 That''s straight talk, is it?"
22667Then it has settled into a personal fight between you and me, has it?
22667Think so?
22667Think?
22667To report? 22667 Ugly?"
22667Ward Latisan, be ye?
22667Was, eh? 22667 Well, how will I know when I meet up with him in the woods?"
22667Well, what can I do for you, sir?
22667Well, what say, old boy?
22667Well, what then?
22667What are you going to saw, Latisan?
22667What do you call it, what has been happening upriver?
22667What do you expect me to do?
22667What do you mean-- my end?
22667What does a legislature know about conditions up here?
22667What does it get anybody to tell the truth?
22667What does she tell you?
22667What especially?
22667What for?
22667What have you got to say about it?
22667What in the name of the horn- headed Sancho do you think you can do all alone against guns?
22667What is it going to be-- a fight to a finish?
22667What is it, Mr. Flagg? 22667 What is it?"
22667What is this, a singing school or a driving crew?
22667What names did he call you?
22667What sort of talk is she giving him?
22667What''s his particular failing?
22667What''s the matter with Ken?
22667What''s the newfangled idea of shedding whiskers before the drive is down?
22667What''s your system? 22667 When are you leaving?"
22667Where are ye headed, Dick?
22667Where are you from, right now?
22667Who are you?
22667Who did you think she was?
22667Who in the crowd has got an ox or two in his pocket?
22667Who is she, Mr. Latisan? 22667 Who would n''t?"
22667Who''s the nut?
22667Whose?
22667Whose?
22667Why are n''t you on your way?
22667Why did n''t you tell me before?
22667Why have n''t you said something about such letters or such an heir?
22667Why the blazes did n''t you smooth it? 22667 Why?
22667Will you come back here after you have escorted me to the tavern?
22667Will you go back?
22667Will you go with me?
22667Will your headquarters back up my operatives?
22667Wo n''t you let me talk to you alone?
22667Wo n''t you try our beans-- just once? 22667 Would n''t haul our dynamite?"
22667You are worried about how you are to travel, is it not so? 22667 You do n''t expect to find the Three C''s mentioned by name in Holy Writ, do you?
22667You do n''t intend to come ramming against these guns, do you?
22667You fell in love with her, did n''t you?
22667You have been in Adonia?
22667You have been the drive master here for a long time-- that''s why you can not be spared?
22667You have told me straight, have you, about his being a bad actor when he''s riled?
22667You remember Operative Crowley, do you?
22667You saw''em start for a walk, did you? 22667 You vow and declare that you''re an ox, do you, before all in hearing?"
22667You''re making a fool of yourself-- and what for?
22667A boss, are you?"
22667And even now----""You do n''t believe it, eh?
22667And now it''s all tipped upside down, eh?
22667And then what did you say?"
22667And what makes you think I want that kind of a quitter in my crew?"
22667And where''s that funeral, I ask you again?"
22667And who knows?
22667And you''re sorry, eh?
22667Are you one of''em, too?"
22667Brophy?"
22667But how can he fight them all single- handed?"
22667But if the old man were kept away from Adonia----"Do I understand that you''re to stay north until I''m ready to go back?"
22667But what I want to know is this, does the girl love you?"
22667But what''s her name?"
22667But will you allow me to speak to them?"
22667But you have something to tell Mr. Flagg, have n''t you?"
22667Ca n''t you do him up, and then let Flagg have half a show for this season-- probably his last?"
22667Ca n''t you see how it is?"
22667Ca n''t you understand that I''m on the case, too?"
22667Can I be any more honest than that?"
22667Can we afford to take chances?"
22667Can you furnish''em?"
22667Can you govern yourself accordingly?"
22667Can you start north with me in the morning?"
22667Chances on being something more to each other than we are now?"
22667Could she stop these men from going on to violent battle?
22667Could the daughter of Alfred Kennard repay in some degree for the sake of the father?
22667Craig?"
22667Did he name his price, Dawes?"
22667Did he pull himself out of the jacket whilst you were clinging to his collar?"
22667Did n''t I understand you to say, Buck, that Miss Kennard had gone chasing Latisan?"
22667Do I understand you to say that the Latisans have failed in their business?"
22667Do n''t you have any idea what men are up these woods?
22667Do n''t you think so?"
22667Do you get action by feeding an ox lollypops, kissing him on the nose and saying,''Please,''and''Beg your pardon''?"
22667Do you hear?"
22667Do you know it, Felix?
22667Do you know many folks over in the Noda region?"
22667Do you know who said that?"
22667Do you still think I''m not what I say I am?"
22667Do you think for one minute you can stop the Comas development?"
22667Do you think it is folly?
22667Do you understand?"
22667Do you want to get the Big Laugh when you show yourselves downriver?"
22667Flagg?"
22667Gossip up here is easily started, is n''t it?"
22667Grabbing for the coin because you are afraid the job is n''t going to stay put?"
22667Had he not been sent up there to watch-- or watch over-- no matter which-- Miss Elsham?
22667Have n''t we found them out already?
22667Have n''t you the same kind of loyalty where my grandfather is concerned-- after all your years with him?"
22667He drew a long breath; he inquired with anxious solicitude;"Did you overhear him saying anything about Latisan?
22667Hey?"
22667How about logs for your mills?"
22667How about what''s underneath, provided the cover is ripped off, Craig?"
22667How did it happen that you fell for Lida Kennard so suddenly?"
22667How do you happen to be over in the Noda country?"
22667How does the thing look to you as a proposition?"
22667How many of''em are there?
22667How much do you know about teaming oxen?"
22667How''ll ye ever get there, Miss Lida?"
22667I mean I''m glad-- no, what I mean is I do n''t understand why-- why----""Why I have come away up here for such a job?"
22667I reckon you''ll leave it to me, wo n''t you?"
22667I suppose that makes Mr. Latisan pretty nigh indispensable, does n''t it?"
22667I thought I''d step in----""Well?"
22667I''m still working alone-- understand that?
22667If love should by any possibility develop in her and she should allow him to see it, what would become of his man''s appetite for fight and danger?
22667If she did what she had in her mind to do, what was it except the confirmation of a pledge and the carrying out of a promise?
22667If you and your men come onto this dam----""There''s only one kind of a fight up here among honest men-- and you wo n''t stand for it, eh?"
22667If you''re going only a little way in that direction wo n''t you take me along in your canoe?"
22667Is it more detective work?"
22667Is there any way in which I can be a mediator-- as his friend?"
22667It is all very fine, eh, mam''selle?"
22667It ought to be good enough for you and me, had n''t it?
22667It''s something of a fix you''ve got yourself into, eh?"
22667Know him?"
22667Latisan?"
22667Lida Kennard, why ai n''t ye home?"
22667May I ask what you are right now?"
22667May I borrow the horse?"
22667Maybe you know what put the wire edge onto it?"
22667Nice kind of dame, eh?
22667Now that''s some story, ai n''t it?"
22667Now who the blazes is this Miss Jones?"
22667Putting out of your mind all this foolish sex matter-- as I have explained my man- to- man theory-- will you go with me?
22667Sapgagging with a girl?"
22667Shall I come back?"
22667So he''s here in town?"
22667So that''s young Latisan''s latest move, eh?"
22667Special acts, hey?
22667That right?"
22667The talk will be all friendly, I take it?"
22667Was he what old Flagg had so inelegantly stated-- a sapgag where a girl was concerned?
22667We can make that our own business, ca n''t we?"
22667We''d better get ashore----""And let him wreck this dam?"
22667What are you doing here on this dam?
22667What are you going to say about her when you write up your report to- night?"
22667What better proof of my humble position in life do you want?"
22667What do you say to him?"
22667What do you want of me?
22667What do you want?"
22667What have you thought out about the details of a plan to let your logs through?"
22667What have you to say?"
22667What is she?
22667What is the matter?"
22667What kind of a she wildcat did you hand me, anyway?
22667What made you sore on the whole proposition up there?
22667What right has it got to tamper with a landbreak that God Almighty has put between waters?"
22667What say, boys?"
22667What shall I tell her from you when I take in her pie?"
22667What was she, anyway?
22667What was the caller''s business?
22667What was the confidential secretary doing up there?
22667What will you have?"
22667What woke you up?
22667What''s old Eck Flagg to- day?
22667What''s that?
22667What''s the matter, Mern?
22667What, boys?"
22667What?
22667When do you think of leaving?"
22667Where are they?
22667Where''s Latisan?
22667Where''s your pay coming from when Eck Flagg goes broke?"
22667Who are you, anyway?"
22667Who is she?
22667Who is that girl?"
22667Who''ll take orders from me after this?
22667Why are you pitching into me?"
22667Why did he not come to her and lift the dreadful burden in her extremity?
22667Why do n''t you congratulate me?"
22667Why do n''t you say something?"
22667Why do n''t you sell out to our company?
22667Why had he waited until the cut was landed?
22667Why in the blue blazes does n''t she report in?"
22667Why is n''t that better than a fight?"
22667Why should Lapierre come north in the Flagg interests?
22667Why wo n''t you do as I ask?"
22667Why would not a waitress marry him, one of the Latisans of the Tomah?
22667Why?
22667Will you marry me?"
22667Wo n''t it put heart in you if I''m your wife, standing by you through everything?"
22667Wo n''t you do it?"
22667Would Echford Flagg''s own crew stand by a stricken master or hearken to the appeal of Flagg''s kin?
22667Would it not be well to take those men fully into her confidence?
22667Would not the known granddaughter of Echford Flagg be able to exert that compelling moral influence over the crew?
22667Would she be honest with her grandfather and Latisan if she did try to prevent them from winning their fight?
22667You are going home to the north soon?"
22667You are very busy on the drive, are you?"
22667You do n''t think I''m coming after you with fists or a ca nt dog, do you?"
22667You still think, do you, you''d better not tell me?"
22667You''re not going back to the drive right away, are you?"
22667You''re sure about his weakness for dames, are you?
22667why ai n''t I out and around?"

41712What will you pay?
41712What word do you want? 41712 What would we git if we did risk our head?"
41712What would you say to twenty dollars a thousand?

41712Whatcha done, then? 41712 When we goin''up an''git''em?"
41712Wher''ll we tell the boss we come from? 41712 Where are these logs?"
41712Where do you figger we''re at?

41712Where is Slue Foot?

41712Where''s Hurley?

41712Who are you?
41712Who did you sell to, last year?
41712Who do you wish to see?
41712Who knows what brands he put on''em? 41712 Who sh''d Oi be but Dinny O''Sullivan?
41712Who you huntin''?
41712Who''s Corky Dyer?
41712Who?
41712Whose place is that?
41712Why did you agree to it then? 41712 Why do n''t you fire''em now?"
41712Why do n''t you get yourself some real horses?
41712Why not?
41712Why, have n''t you got your crew?
41712Why?
41712Will the scaler throw in with us?
41712Wonder who''s be''n along here? 41712 Ye mind, the old man said how it was a Frenchy that got him to help cut up that deer?
41712Ye say they burn''t thim harses?
41712Ye say ye''ve lived here for fifteen years?
41712Yeh, an''meanwhile the fire''ll be workin''on that oil- soaked straw inside, an''where''ll the horses be? 41712 Yer money?"
41712Yes, but how''d you know they''ll go there?
41712Yes, but----"He throw''d in with these here ornery scum that ai n''t neither men, fish, nor potatoes, did n''t he?
41712Yes,he answered,"it is a dirty deal, is n''t it?
41712Yo''mean----?
41712You ai n''t obstructed navigation, have ye?
41712You do n''t suppose Hurley and his boss would pay me as much as we can get out of the logs do you? 41712 You do n''t think Mike Gillum swiped the old man''s money, do you?"
41712You know''d I follered you up there?
41712You mean leave camp?
41712You mean,asked the boy,"that the Syndicate men changed the brands, or painted them out and painted their own over them?"
41712You said pine cuttings do n''t seed back to pine?
41712You sleep in here do n''t you?
41712Young man, how do I know you have any logs?
41712Your name is----?
41712_ Non!_ W''at you mean-- de_ venaison_? 41712 ''An''now will yez go to th''woods?'' 41712 ''An''phwat do Oi do fer a livin''?'' 41712 ''We''re you git on dis train?'' 41712 ''What would you be havin''me do?''
41712''What''s to be done?''
41712A full minute of silence, then from the interior came a rasping voice:"Who is it?"
41712After a moment of silence, Connie asked abruptly:"How am I going to manage to get away for a week or ten days?"
41712Again the voice rasped from behind the partition-- a thin voice, yet, in it''s thinness, somehow suggesting brutality:"Why should you come to me?
41712Ai n''t you petered out yet?
41712An''ai n''t we afraid we''ll freeze to death?
41712An''did you know my mother''s cousin that went up to Alaska after gold in''98?
41712An''how come ye did n''t hit fer the railroad an''make yer git- away?"
41712An''how do we know that Slue Foot ai n''t plottin''some move that''ll put a crimp in us somehow er other?"
41712An''how high is the mountains?
41712An''put in the time whilst he wuz in the hospital servin''wid the Mounted?
41712An''what d''ye mane settin''there ca''m as a lake on a shtill noight, an''admittin''ye wuz in on a low- down swindle?
41712An''what''s his socks got to do with gittin''old Denny O''Sullivan''s money back fer him?
41712An''wher''we goin''to-- bein''as we''re broke?
41712An''where''d this camp be?
41712An''ye-- a b''y, wid no hair on his face, done thot?
41712And as he gazed an evil smile twisted his lips:"Think yer awful smart, do n''t ye?
41712And the girl at the switchboard?
41712And what did he mean by his observation that there was no rake- off on the wanagan?
41712And what did you mean about your money?"
41712And why should he be pleased at the boy''s habit of observation?
41712Are you the boss?"
41712As it iss so said here in America-- he bite?"
41712But I''m laugh on heem, an''I''m say I''m tak''dat han''car,''cause I''m got to git arres''anyhow-- but firs''dey got to ketch-- eh?
41712But how do we know that them three was_ all_ the I. W. W.''s in the outfit?
41712But how''d you know them I. W. W.''s is headin''fer Willer River?"
41712But what''s that to ye?
41712But why should Hurley speak of it to him?
41712But, suppose the break- up should come early this year-- early and sudden?
41712But, what I ai n''t never be''n able to git onto is, what in thunder does the Syndicate want to be slippin''the I. W. W. money fer?"
41712But, what''s Corky Dyer got to do with Mike Gillum an''the old man''s money?"
41712By the way, how much do you figure we''ve got on the landings, now?"
41712Bye- m- bye, Hurley tell heem''shut oop de mout'', who''s runnin''de camp?''
41712CHAPTER V HURLEY LAYS OUT THE NEW CAMP"Want to go''long?"
41712CHAPTER VI THE I. W. W. SHOWS ITS HAND"Changed yer job?"
41712CHAPTER XI CONNIE FINDS AN ALLY"Wher''s Pierce?"
41712Connie nodded and Slue Foot continued:"Pretty slick, eh?
41712Connie nodded:"That''s all right,"he assented,"and the price?"
41712D''ye ever walk on rackets?"
41712D''ye think he''ll doie av a stroke, er will he blow up?"
41712D''ye want the hull camp a pokin''their nose in our business?"
41712D''you s''pose he''d of dared?"
41712Did Hurley send you after some strap oil?"
41712Did n''t I help you string that racket?"
41712Did n''t I, Saginaw?"
41712Do n''t never tell nothin''to nobody else about nothin''that''s any''count-- see?"
41712Done ut deliberate-- figgered out befoor hand how to make Heinie Metzger bate hisself-- an''thin went down an''_ done ut_?"
41712Ever work in the woods?"
41712For why?
41712Guess you wo n''t feel lost nor nothin''when you git so far back in the big sticks, hey?"
41712Had Swede Larson followed him?
41712He done you dirt onct did n''t he?"
41712How about shadin''the cut?"
41712How are you?
41712How they goin''to trail ye?
41712How would forty- five do?"
41712How''d ye s''pose I kin tell?
41712How''s he ever goin''to pay it back?
41712How''s the new camp,''bout ready?"
41712Hurley ceased speaking, and Connie, who had followed every word, broke in:"Could n''t we keep Steve here and-- put him through the mill?"
41712Hurrying to Nicollet Avenue, he walked rapidly to the depot and accosted a uniformed official:"Is the seven- fifty- five for Brainard in yet?"
41712I do n''t git the mill, do I?
41712I''m one of these here hairpins that never tells no one nawthin''about anythin''''til the time comes-- see?"
41712I''m playing safe-- see the point?"
41712If I do n''t know what your scheme is, how am I to know what to remember?
41712If anything should happen to you just before the drive, where''d the kid''s contract be?
41712If he agrees with us, wo n''t the men overrule him?"
41712If the Syndicate did n''t change the brands, or paint over them, how did they work it?"
41712In the first place, what business ye got wid contracks, an''warrants, an- nyhow?"
41712Instead of which ye lost fourteen thousan''--that''s thirty- four thousan'', ai n''t it?
41712Is it in Minnesota?"
41712It ai n''t over is it?"
41712Lodge?"
41712Making a fool of me-- taking up my time-- living at my expense-- and all for nothing?"
41712Metzger scowled:"Why did you not have this Hurley here?"
41712Metzger shot him a keen glance:"How many logs have you brought down?"
41712Morgan?"
41712Old Heinie Metzger busted_ you_, did n''t he?
41712Or had someone else taken up the trail?
41712Or, wuz they branded at all?
41712S''pose the heft of your logs wuz branded wid the Syndicate brand-- or no brand at all?
41712S''pose they did n''t wake up till too late-- what then?"
41712Say, where''d you learn to walk on rackets?
41712Slue Foot advanced one threatening step:"Who d''ye think ye''re talkin''to?"
41712Slue Foot glared:"Thought Hurley''s outfits never gouged the men on the wanagan?"
41712Slue Foot glowered:"An''what if I''ve changed my mind about lettin''ye in?"
41712Slue Foot shot the deer, did he?"
41712Slue Foot stared at him:"Say, who''s runnin''this, you?
41712Some augers they might as well gouge''em''cause they go an''blow it all in anyhow, soon as they get to town-- but what''s that any of my business?
41712That would not be good business, would it?
41712The kid do n''t mind, do ye, kid?"
41712The only thing that''s bothering me is how am I going to ask Hurley for a week or ten days off?
41712The only wo''ds yo''c''n find when yo''want''em is the ones yo''c''n spell anyhow, so what''s the use of findin''''em?"
41712The sheriff grinned:"Well, when Slue Foot let go, he let go all holts, did n''t he?
41712Then Sam spoke:"What we goin''to do with this here Saginaw?"
41712Then again, what would the men do if they should catch the three?
41712Then he exploded angrily:"What in thunder d''ye s''pose I care about Corky Dyer''s socks?
41712There should be fellowship among lumbermen----""Is that the reason you ruined John Grey, and Lige Britton, and Lafe Weston, and poor old Jim Buck?
41712They try to bust up everything, an''wreck, an''smash, an''tear down-- that''s all right, fer as it goes-- but, what''s it goin''to git''em?
41712This here runt has showed he do n''t care what he does-- s''pose he took a notion to slip somethin''into the grub-- what then?
41712Too late for what?"
41712Vat you vanted?
41712Vere iss your logs?"
41712Von Kuhlmann had turned white as paper:"Where''s Hurley?"
41712W.''s?"
41712W.?"
41712W.?"
41712Wha''d ye do to Hurley?
41712Whad''ye mean-- water?"
41712Whad''ye s''pose I care av yer tin minutes late, er tin hours?
41712What I be''n doin''?"
41712What I want to know is, who did kill it?"
41712What I want to know is, why ca n''t he swear out them warrants ag''in them three I. W. W.''s an''have it over with?
41712What about Slue Foot?
41712What are you standing out there for?"
41712What be you gittin''out of this?"
41712What d''you want of me?
41712What did it all mean?
41712What do Oi care fer yer Syndicate?
41712What do you mean-- prisoners?"
41712What do you mean?"
41712What do you see on their money, an''their seals, an''their flags-- doves, an''rabbits, an''little fawns?
41712What do you want to do-- give this whole thing away?
41712What should he do?
41712What was this thing these men were planning to do"at eleven o''clock the first night the wind blows stiff from the west?"
41712What was_ you_ doin''in Canady?"
41712What we want to know is what ye''re doin''here?"
41712What would McKeever do?
41712What ye got there?
41712What ye standin''there wid yer mout''open fer?"
41712What''s Hurley payin''you?"
41712What''s it goin''to git me if I burn down a saw- mill?
41712What''s on your mind?
41712What''s the use of me a- workin''so someone else that do n''t help none gits a equal share?
41712Whatchu doin''in here?
41712When will you have the papers?"
41712Where do they git off at?
41712Who d''you think you be, anyhow?"
41712Who is this here Mike Gillum?
41712Who was ut put them rotten planks in that crossin''?"
41712Why did n''t you wake me up before?"
41712Why did you sign the contract?"
41712Why do n''t you buy his logs and send him about his business?"
41712Why had he asked what Hurley was paying him?
41712Why should he not be mit us?
41712Why, then, had they returned?
41712Ye can tell me, mebbe, what, Oi''m a- goin''to do widout no clerk whoilst yer gaddin''round havin''a good toime?

41712You krasy?"
41712You made two copies, did you?"
41712You mean you have no authority to make this contract?
41712You mean you''re the waiter?"
41712You noticed I kept a record of just how much has been shaved off from each man''s cut?

34775An''for why did he do it? 34775 An''what''s that got to do wid it?"
34775And how do you find it going?
34775And now, papa, do n''t you think I am a very dutiful, self- sacrificing daughter?
34775And so you want to dodge out of an agreement with them because you stand to lose money on it?
34775Any more orders, sir?
34775Any one I know?
34775Anything the matter, daddy? 34775 Are all the men at camp now?"
34775Are we really engaged?
34775Are ye lookin''for more logs to steal?
34775Are you cutting it this winter?
34775Are you giving me orders, Cooley?
34775Are you glad?
34775Are you sure you can?
34775Aw, now, Mr. Kent,said big Cooley coaxingly,"what harm to put the run on them high- bankers and burn their dirty camp?"
34775Behind it-- how? 34775 Boy, what on earth did you sign that for?
34775Boys,said Joe,"who cut that boom?"
34775Burn our camp, would ye?
34775But he may some day?
34775But how can we prevent his cutting?
34775But why?
34775But why?
34775Ca n''t I? 34775 Ca n''t ye quit yer dam''swearin''in a church?
34775Ca n''t ye talk over a business matter widout scrappin''? 34775 Can you prove that?"
34775Champagne, hey? 34775 Consented?"
34775Cruisin''?
34775Did he come back?
34775Did it ever strike you,Joe asked,"that he may be the man behind?"
34775Did you have it there all the time?
34775Do I get my time?
34775Do n''t we give up strong to th''campaign fund? 34775 Do n''t you get it?"
34775Do they own timber here?
34775Do you hear me, damn you?
34775Do you insinuate that they are not genuine?
34775Do you know how this bidding works?
34775Do you know that fellow?
34775Do you know what the law is? 34775 Do you mean an engagement ring, Joe?"
34775Do you mean he expects you to marry for money?
34775Do you men think I''ll let you run this camp?
34775Do you think I''ll stay here?
34775Does it matter?
34775Eat too much grub that I do n''t chaw, do I?
34775For why should we wreck the dam?
34775Garwood, hey? 34775 Glad it''s over?
34775Gone where?
34775Great Scott, Jack, where did you pick up that old come- all- ye?
34775Hang our drive, would ye? 34775 Have a cigar?"
34775Have n''t ye got ut cut?
34775Hey?
34775Hold water? 34775 How about Garwood?"
34775How could he do that unless I consented?
34775How did you get here?
34775How do you buy, then?
34775How do you get your logs out?
34775How does he get his work done with whiskey in camp?
34775How does it come that Kent gets them limits at Wind River? 34775 How long has this been going on?"
34775How much does it cost me this time?
34775How would it be if I turned a dozen men into your rear to lend a hand?
34775How would you do it?
34775How''s she comin''?
34775Huh?
34775I am,said Kent,"but how do you know about them?
34775I know it,Joe admitted;"but are you sure the arrangement will be carried out?"
34775I suppose the jobber is a good man?
34775I suppose,said Mr. Ackerman casually,"that if whiskey got into Kent''s camp his work would suffer?"
34775I thought liquor was n''t allowed in the camps?
34775I was wondering,Crooks pursued,"whether you''d care to combine our businesses?"
34775I wish ye luck, but what do we get in place of our tender that was turned down?
34775I wonder what his game is?
34775If so be lumber had went down, wud we have came whinin to ye to let us off our contract? 34775 If you love one another that''s the main thing, is n''t it?"
34775In other words, you do n''t think I can run the business?
34775In the fall, Joe?
34775Is Kent still delivering lumber under your contract?
34775Is Rough Shan McCane a good man? 34775 Is it Rough Shan McCane?"
34775Is it him wid his raft of Callahans an''Red McDougals an''scrapin''s of hell wud burn a Kent camp?
34775Is it?
34775Is that Misther Kent?
34775Is that so?
34775Is there anything behind this, sir?
34775Is what a fact?
34775Is, hey?
34775It did n''t occur to us, did it, Jawn?
34775It is not a fact, then?
34775It is? 34775 It''s a big business, is n''t it?
34775It''s from some third act, is n''t it? 34775 Jack,"one employer is alleged to have said,"you remember that pair of socks you got in December?"
34775Living up to it? 34775 Make a pig of meself wid pork an''beans, hey?
34775Man enough? 34775 Matter with it?"
34775May I come in? 34775 May I?"
34775Meaning that the advice I get now is n''t proper?
34775Meanwhile where do we get off at? 34775 My_ dear_ boy----""What''s the use?"
34775No-- glad we''re married?
34775No?
34775Not an impossibility, however?
34775Not bad news?
34775Now I wonder,said Locke thoughtfully,"if we may go a step further?
34775Now let me ask a question: Have you fallen in love with him?
34775Now, I understand you have some timber near Kent''s Wind River limits?
34775Now, then, Joe, where shall we start?
34775Now,he said,"will you please tell me what I ought to know about the business, just what we have on hand and what we must do to keep going?
34775Of course you saw Edith?
34775Oh, that?
34775Own up to what?
34775Saves you the trouble of hauling the logs in here, does n''t it? 34775 Shall I stop them?"
34775She must have been very glad to see you?
34775Should you, Joe?
34775Simple process, is n''t it? 34775 Sit down, wo n''t you?"
34775So ut was you I was talkin''to?
34775Sounds pretty stiff, hey?
34775Square?
34775Such as what?
34775Suppose this man- of- straw, Dingle, gets a judgment and his paltry damages are paid-- what then?
34775Surely they wo n''t hold us up when we''re losing money and they''re making two kinds?
34775Take a man''s pay, eat a man''s grub, an''then loaf on the job, would ye, ye slab- mouthed, slouchin''son of sin?
34775That is, you think somebody is forcing your hand?
34775That occurred to ye, did it?
34775That was before----"Before what?
34775The carrying or the business?
34775The devil he did? 34775 The-- lumber-- business?"
34775Then it was my daughter who suggested that?
34775Then what_ do_ you want?
34775Then why did you give him the stuff to cut?
34775W''at''s de mattaire wit''you, hey?
34775We don''t----"An''why the divil is n''t ut?
34775Well, Ackerman,he said,"what''s the news?"
34775Well, Joe,he asked,"how you makin''it?"
34775Well, Joe,said he,"getting into harness already?"
34775Well, Mr. Ackerman,he said shortly,"what can I do for you?"
34775Well, what about it?
34775Well, what about it?
34775Well, young people,said the old lumberman, emerging upon the veranda,"why do n''t you come into the house and have some music?"
34775Well?
34775Well?
34775What are ye drivin''at? 34775 What are ye waitin''for?"
34775What are you driving at, anyway, Ackerman?
34775What are you framing up now?
34775What business is that of yours?
34775What debts?
34775What did I tell you?
34775What did he want?
34775What do yez want?
34775What do you mean?
34775What do you think of it?
34775What do you think of that?
34775What do you think of this?
34775What do you want her to cost?
34775What do you want that for?
34775What do you want to croak for? 34775 What does the boy think about it?"
34775What have I got to do with that?
34775What have you got against the man?
34775What in thunder do you suspect anyway?
34775What is it that it is? 34775 What is it?"
34775What kind of''fire''and''nation''were you speaking of, dad?
34775What makes you think we took your logs?
34775What''ll be a dose of this?
34775What''s in that sack?
34775What''s that? 34775 What''s that?"
34775What''s the best thing to do?
34775What''s the excitement, boys?
34775What''s the matter with it?
34775What''s the matter?
34775What''s the row?
34775What''s the use of talkin''like that, Mac?
34775What''s this I hear about your chasing three of my men with an axe?
34775What''s up, Dinny?
34775What''s up?
34775What?
34775What?
34775What?
34775When did you and Garwood go into the lumber business?
34775When the drive comes dow- un, when the jam comes down, What makes yeez lads so wishful- eyed as we draw near to town? 34775 When will you be sluiced through?"
34775Where are you men headin''for?
34775Where did ye get it?
34775Where''s MacNutt?
34775Who else could''a''done it?
34775Who told you there was anything between us?
34775Who was he, Joe?
34775Who was it? 34775 Who''s been talking to you?"
34775Who''s sojerin''?
34775Who''s try for be fonnee?
34775Why did n''t you let me know you were coming?
34775Why did n''t you tell me this before?
34775Why did n''t you tell me you were coming?
34775Why do n''t you ask him?
34775Why do n''t you go up to the Wind with McKenna and take a look at things?
34775Why do n''t you sing something touching and sentimental, appropriate to my bereaved condition? 34775 Why do n''t you_ do_ something?"
34775Why not do it?
34775Why should n''t we announce it? 34775 Why, what''s the matter with it?"
34775Why?
34775Why?
34775Why?
34775Why?
34775Will it?
34775Will she hold, Mac?
34775Will you give me the names, or must I get them another way?
34775Will you stay with me while I get it?
34775Wo n''t they?
34775Wo n''t ye?
34775Would it be Alec Macnamara, now?
34775Would n''t that jar a brick wall?
34775Would you mind telling me who they are?
34775Wreck the dam, is it?
34775Ye mane that the limits was onloaded onto him to tie up his cash resources?
34775Yes-- but are you?
34775You cleaned them out, did you?
34775You do n''t?
34775You mean that if I married him you would give me nothing?
34775You mean--?
34775You need the logs, do n''t you, Joe?
34775You own a couple of judges, do n''t you?
34775You persist in your refusal to make terms?
34775You think you''ll hang our drive, do you?
34775You want to hang us up, do you?
34775You''d have the information in the office, would n''t you?
34775You''re McCane, are you? 34775 You''re sure you''re heading right?"
34775You''ve shown me all the papers in the matter, have n''t you? 34775 Yourselves?"
34775_ You_ do n''t want to marry her, do you?
34775& N.--otherwise Garwood-- has secured control of the Peninsular?"
34775A good time?
34775A very fair test of the rectitude or otherwise of any deal is this: How will it look in print beneath a good scare head?
34775Am I right, Jawn?"
34775Am I the wet- blanket?"
34775An''if it was a bar''l ai n''t ye man enough to be boss of yer own camp?"
34775And if you were n''t, why did you tell her you were?
34775And then I say:''Ah, Beatrice, why that cold and haughty tone?
34775And yet I suppose nothing has been done in that direction, yet?"
34775And yet why should she care?
34775Are n''t they living up to it?"
34775Are you aware that you have worn a sunny smile ever since you returned?
34775Are you paying them rebates?"
34775Before promulgating it we made inquiries----""From my clients?"
34775Bending over her sewing one bright afternoon during the last days of Joe''s convalescence she crooned:"Is it far away ye''re goin'', Danny, dear?
34775But are you making this proposition for Jack''s sake?
34775But how?
34775But what is it?"
34775By the way, Jack, where is Drew keeping himself?
34775By the way, what would you think of turning my business into a joint stock company?
34775Ca n''t ye let the boys have a drink if they want it?
34775Ca n''t you read, or did n''t you read?
34775Ca n''t you see that?"
34775Can you deliver them on time?"
34775Can you keep ahead of us, do you think?"
34775Can you shoot?"
34775Can you swing it?
34775Confidentially, Jack, how much do you suppose he is worth?"
34775Crooks went on:"Well, what can we do about it?
34775Crooks?"
34775Did n''t they try to get a new contract that would kill us?
34775Did the whole crew jump on your face?"
34775Did they chloroform you?"
34775Did you ever see them?"
34775Do n''t you think a young man might fall in love with me for myself?"
34775Do you get that with any degree of clarity?"
34775Do you mean your father would n''t consent?"
34775Do you want the rest of the verses?
34775Does that make any difference?"
34775Dorsey, who was a practical man, removed his pipe, scratched his head and asked:"What of?"
34775Edith Garwood?
34775For whom?
34775For why wud ye start rough- house wid the lad?
34775Garwood?"
34775Got a smoke there?
34775Got room for us?"
34775Have you met her?"
34775He is the only son, is n''t he?"
34775How about those logs?
34775How about you?
34775How can he hear himself?"
34775How could he have been so blind?
34775How far has this flirtation of yours gone?"
34775How is the business?"
34775How is them booms, Dinny?
34775How many blamed houses do you want to live in, anyway?"
34775How many do you want?"
34775How would ye like another little drink to help hold her down?"
34775I ask you again what you want?"
34775I do n''t mind telling you this much: There are a holy lot of wires in our business, and we have to stand in with the people who pull them, see?
34775I mean, do you think I''d make a mess of my business if I ran it alone?
34775I never gave you any reason to think that I thought that you thought-- I mean you could n''t think I did, could you?"
34775I suppose McCane''s drive will be out of our way?"
34775I want to know if there''s a way out of this for me?"
34775I wonder how he knows so much about it?
34775I wonder if I could get a line from Jack?"
34775I wonder if they are told where not to buy?"
34775I''m goin''to find them, an''when I do----""What''ll ye do?"
34775Is it a fact?"
34775Is it lavin''me ye arre, widout a tear?
34775Is it love at first sight with you, too?"
34775Is it possible to get it down on time?"
34775Is n''t she the prettiest girl you ever saw?"
34775Is that straight business, young felly?"
34775Is ut shipped yit?"
34775Kent?"
34775Let them alone, do you hear me?"
34775Like to hear her lament?"
34775Like to read them?"
34775May I call to- night?"
34775McCane, what''s the use?
34775No doubt you feel your responsibilities, eh?"
34775Now what can we do about it?
34775Oh, Jimmy,"he called to the cook,"rustle a good meal, will you?
34775Oh, why did he die?
34775Or shall I write him a note?"
34775Presently she said:"When do you go up to Wind River?"
34775Railway?"
34775Remember the time you wished you were a boy?"
34775Remember what he told me to do with it?"
34775Savvy?
34775Shall we?"
34775Shall you marry him, Edith?"
34775She ca n''t help it, can she?"
34775So it would be a mistake, would n''t it?"
34775That''s stealin''--stealin'', d''ye mind, young felly?
34775The question was so entirely unexpected that Mr. Ackerman was almost caught off his guard, but he said:"Control of the Peninsular?
34775They have n''t done it, an''for why?
34775Understand?"
34775Was n''t it big enough?"
34775We did n''t come to terms, did we?"
34775Were n''t you fond of her?
34775Were you thinking of forming a company?"
34775What business are they of yours?"
34775What can I do for you?
34775What did he talk about?"
34775What do they want to lie for?
34775What do we have to figure on besides cost, next time you ask us for a quotation?"
34775What do you know of your father''s affairs, anyway?"
34775What do you think of that?"
34775What do you think of that?"
34775What do you think you can do?"
34775What do you think?"
34775What do you want for yourself?"
34775What do you want us to do?"
34775What have you been doing to yourself?"
34775What is the purpose?
34775What makes yeez lads so wishful- eyed as we draw near to town?
34775What would we get out of it?"
34775What''s Clancys payin''you for doin''their dirty work?"
34775What''s the guns for?
34775What''s the matter?
34775What''s the matter?"
34775What''s the use of waiting?
34775What''s to hinder his blowing the other when he''s finished sluicing his drive?
34775Where do we fall down?
34775Where''s his pull, that''s what we want to know?
34775Where_ do_ you keep your pajamas?
34775Who is behind it?
34775Who left that box out there?"
34775Why are you throwing it into us?
34775Why did n''t we get the contract?"
34775Why do n''t you own up?"
34775Why the secrecy?
34775Why was n''t I a boy?
34775Will you do your best for me?"
34775Will you kindly tell me why?"
34775Will you oblige me by booming there till I get through?
34775Will you stop when I ask you to?"
34775Will you tell him?
34775Would it be square to back out now, even if we could?"
34775Yes?
34775You do n''t think I''m putting up a job to freeze you out, do you?"
34775You got that letter?"
34775You wo n''t mind if I take him away for half an hour, Jack?"
34775You wo n''t reconsider my offer, Archer?"
34775You''d hog the river on us, would you?
34775You''re sure about this, I suppose?"
34775You''ve got good orders coming in, have n''t you?
34775Young Statten?"
34775_ Boss_, do you understand?
34775cried Garwood,"you do n''t mean to tell me you''re engaged?"
34775what has he been doing?"
