15583The next it was:"I wonder if he has not lost his way?"
15583The old man and his sons quickly lowered their rifles, while the former said:"A friend in blue uniform, while we wear the gray?''
15583This served as a warning to the others, and they stood like statues, while one said:"Pard, who is yer?"

12797''Is that a bluff, or do you mean it for a real play?'' 12797 ''No,''said the old man, brightening with interest,''who is he and where is he?''

12797As they rode away to relieve the first guard, McCann said,"Is n''t he a muzzle- loading daisy?
12797But I want you to smell this posy, Quirk, and tell me on the dead thieving, do you ever expect to see your sunny southern home again?

12797Where was it?"
12797Where''s Quirk?"

14334John Carleton''s son, eh? 14334 May I trouble you for a drink of water?"
14334Mr. Carleton--I was fool enough to gloat over her instant recognition, in the dark like that--"what are you doing here-- at this hour?
14334Must our feud include your father? 14334 Must the feud descend even to the second generation?

14334You do n''t, eh? 14334 You will drive-- where?"
14334You''re glad, are n''t you? 14334 Your face is familiar, though; been in this country long?"
14334_ My_ Mr. Terence Weaver?
14334( Ever hear tell of a Frenchman that did n''t begin his sentences that way?
14334A day or so after he said:"How do you like the country?"
14334And it''s a fact that, ticklish as was the situation, my first thought was:"So her name''s Beryl, is it?
14334And you_ will_ marry me, dear?"
14334And, by the way, Ellie, what are_ you_ doing here-- a stranger?"
14334And-- oh, what''s the use?
14334Another one drawled:"What''s the use?
14334Are yuh going on round- up?"

14334Did n''t you know they are old, old sweethearts who had quarreled and parted quite like a story?
14334Did you think she would be left behind, pining at your infidelity?
14334Do n''t you know the risk?
14334Do you know how to fix it, Ellie?"
14334Do you think I''m going to leave them to clean you up?"
14334Going to stay long out here?"
14334He has shaved his mustache, and he''s much browner and heavier, but he''s Fred Miller-- and why does n''t he come and speak to me?"
14334How does it happen yuh are n''t wise to the family history?"
14334How was that for a greeting?
14334How was that for straight nerve?
14334How''s your good health?"
14334I broke out, when we were nearly to the depot"If that isn''t-- do any of you notice anything out on the side- track, over there?"
14334I did n''t feel in the mood for conversation, even with him; but, to be decent, I spurred up alongside and said hello, and where had he come from?
14334I feel--""No?
14334I happened to look down upon the ferry; and what do you suppose that old devil was doing?
14334I hope you are prepared to pay the penalty--""Penalty?"
14334I-- how does it happen you are away out here by yourself?"
14334Is it a fight to the finish, and no quarter asked or given?"
14334Is it vitally important that it should_ not_ start?"
14334Is that gate down there locked?"
14334Me drink with a son of John Carleton?
14334Now, what do you think of that?
14334So what does anything else matter?
14334The weend, she--""Aw, what yuh running a ferry for?"
14334Then, why did you begin it?"
14334We can go around by Kenmore, if we want to-- but King''s Highway?
14334What address do you claim, in this wilderness?"
14334Where was all my cunning now?
14334Where were those blatant footprints of mine that were to give their own eloquent message?
14334Where''s your war- bag, darn yuh?"
14334Who was he?
14334Whom else?
14334Why could n''t I put her on my horse and carry her off and keep her always?
14334Will that do?"
14334Would my mysterious guide be shocked to learn that John A. Carleton''s son and heir had landed in a strange land without two- bits to his name?
14334Would you wear a mask-- a black velvet mask?
14334Would you?"
14334You''re here, yourself; do n''t you like it?"
14334and how long had he been here?
14334and why was he here?
18309''Why,''says they,''how did you- all get out alive? 18309 A tourist man?
18309After the Dysert gang?
18309And did n''t she ever come back?
18309And his wife?
18309Are you hurt?
18309Boss home yet from Deming?
18309But what''s the use of speculating? 18309 Did I kill him?
18309Did it hurt you?
18309Did n''t she love you all the time, anyway?
18309Did you love her all the time?
18309Did you see the tourist man take your gone- away mamma away?
18309Do you? 18309 Does he live all alone, then?"
18309Drowning?
18309How the devil can I tell? 18309 I beg your pardon,"said a voice from the other side of the table,"but if you find it disagreeable to ride backward wo n''t you take my seat?
18309Is it lots of fun, Wing?
18309Is n''t she a fine specimen?
18309Is n''t that where the old Apache chief is buried?
18309Is there anybody else?
18309Is there nothing more to say, Barbara?
18309Is this the place? 18309 Me?
18309Mr. Williams? 18309 Nick, ai n''t you- all ashamed of yourself?"
18309Nick, are you drunker than you look? 18309 Nick,"he demanded,"what''s the matter with Tommy?
18309Of course, you''ve heard about him, have n''t you?
18309Posey,I said,"did you ever meet a bear, face to face, when you did n''t have a gun?"
18309So you- all think I''m a coward, do you?
18309Sure you''re sober, Nick?
18309The Injun killed the guard, did he? 18309 The what?"
18309Then what you gruntin''about, Tom? 18309 Tom,"he began, and there was no backbone left in his voice,"what do you- all want me to promise?"
18309Truly, Guy, are you going away?
18309Venison''s a mighty healthy meat, ai n''t it, Doc?
18309Want my guns?
18309Well, then, what am I going to do? 18309 Well,"he exclaimed,"it''s pretty fine here, ai n''t it?
18309Were you ever in one of these Indian attacks yourself?
18309What are you doing, Kid?
18309What did you do?
18309What do you know about it?
18309What has become of her?
18309What have they done?
18309What if you are?
18309What you- all thinkin''of, Tom? 18309 What''s up, Nick?"
18309What''s up, Tom?
18309What-- what-- do you mean, Nick? 18309 Where has your other mamma gone?"
18309Why did n''t you like him?
18309Why do n''t you look where you are going?
18309Why do you think she did n''t love you all the time?
18309Will you do me the honor of exchanging cards with me?
18309Will you ride back to town with me?
18309Yes,I said,"it''s very queer to have two mammas, is n''t it?
18309You did n''t? 18309 You do n''t mind riding backward?"
18309You''re a tourist lady, ai n''t you? 18309 You''re his wife, ai n''t you?
18309''T ai n''t much like Deming candy, is it?
18309An''I put my hand on his face an''said,''Poor papa, what''s''e matter?''
18309An''leave his duds up on the ground fer somebody else to git the good of?
18309Are you going to dig him up?"
18309At that moment Mead came up, saying briskly,"Well, boys, had n''t we better be starting out?"
18309Baby, my babe, What fate must you dare, Out in the world?
18309But after all that had passed between them, and the silent, mutual confession of the afternoon, could he in honor do else than marry her?
18309But he spoke thickly and uncertainly, like one long unused to the sound of his voice:"Where is-- Dorothy?
18309But what could she do with it?
18309But when did you get your new mamma?"
18309Could such a woman care for him?
18309Dear little feet, There must they wander, Out in the world?
18309Did it hurt you?"
18309Did n''t you know it?"
18309Did they kill him here on the ranch?"
18309Do you know right where it is?"
18309Do you love her well enough to leave your people and become one of us?
18309Do you want to see any one?"
18309Does he want to take these Greasers or not?"
18309Emerson?"
18309Got over your bumps yet?"
18309Have n''t you learned our brand yet?"
18309He did not give much heed to her words, but coldly asked, in the same tongue:"Where is my daughter?"
18309He labored for breath for a while, and at last broke the silence by asking impatiently:"Say, Tom, how long you goin''to make an easy chair of me?"
18309Hello, here comes that Chinee Kid-- what''d she call him?
18309How can you be so blind to your daughter''s interests?
18309How did you dare?"
18309How did you know anything about it?"
18309How old do you guess her, Wilson?"
18309I have not always been known by the same name since then, but what difference does that make?
18309I heard there was blue- grass and alfalfa here, but who''d have thought it would look so nice?"
18309I left Plumas before your wire got there, and how could I be any quicker''n that?"
18309I noticed that he had carefully filled up the hole he had been digging, and I asked,"Are n''t you going to plant the tree?"
18309I stroked the little one''s hand, which nestled confidingly in mine, and said, half absently,"And she never came back?"
18309If that Indian nature was there now, patched over and hidden by present surroundings, would not happiness be impossible between them?
18309Is it a case of love at first sight?"
18309Is not here beauty that allures with freedom''s own charms?
18309Is not here freedom herself, serene, smiling, constant, and blessed with a blessedness the sea knows not?"
18309My darling, you will not let them have me again?"
18309She turned impulsively to Barbara:"Will you go home with me and be my guest for all this spring and summer?"
18309Should she ever marry?
18309Soft little hands, What shall they do there, Out in the world?
18309Soothing and cuddling him, for somehow I felt that was what the child needed, I asked:"How did you hurt yourself, Kid?"
18309Surely--""He wishes to marry her?"
18309THE KID OF APACHE TEJU Baby, my babe, What waits you yonder, Out in the world?
18309The captain rode up to me and says,''Have you been near the scene of the Indian depredations?''
18309What did they bury him here for?
18309What had he to offer in character, or personality, or achievement, or promise?
18309What was he going to do about it?
18309What was he to her but a mere car acquaintance?
18309What was there about him that could appeal to so rare a prize?
18309What would I want to dig him up for?
18309What would she think of him if he dared to speak to her of love after a three days''acquaintance?
18309What''s the matter with you?"
18309Where are you flying to now?
18309Where is Dorothy?"
18309Why did he do that?"
18309Why?"
18309Why?"
18309Williams?"
18309Wing, how do you do?
18309Wing, was n''t it?
18309With Illustrations in Color by Stanley L. Wood[ Frontispiece:"Want my guns?"
18309Yet-- she was an Indian, and did he want an Indian wife?
18309You did n''t wire him to come?"
18309You hear me shout?
18309You''re not going off to leave me?"
13405''And so you lost the wager?'' 13405 ''Eh, old Slick,''said one of the sparks,''capital dinner, by Jove; good wine, fine cigars; plenty of customers, eh?''
13405''Faith, have you?'' 13405 ''They?-who do you mean?''
13405''Where are they?'' 13405 ''Why, you fool, you did not give them your money, did you?''
13405And Meyer,I interrupted,"what of him?"
13405And the horses?
13405Any milk?
13405Are not the Crows, the Bannaxas, the Flat Heads, and the Umbiquas, starving during the winter? 13405 Are you quite sure that the revelation was from the Lord?"
13405Aye, boil, bubble, evaporate,exclaimed I;"what do I care for water or tea now?"
13405Can you give my horse a pail of water?
13405Could you restore him, if his head had been cut off?
13405Does she? 13405 Does the just Nanawa wish the Shoshones to be despised by the Crows or the horsemen of the south?
13405Does your power to raise this man to life again depend upon the particular nature of his disease? 13405 Fear has turned the Crows into stones,"resumed the Prince,"what has become of their light feet?
13405Flower of the magnolia,said he, taking her by the hand,"wilt thou love me less as a brother than as a husband?
13405How do you know that you can?
13405How far to Little Rock?
13405How far,said I,"to Caledonia city?"
13405How much?
13405Is there no farm on the way?
13405It is a shameful imposition,he cried;"how much do you want after all?"
13405Now, why should not the Shoshones put themselves at once above the reach of such chances? 13405 Oh, Pat, be a good man; ca n''t you go and pick some berries?
13405Take them away, then; are they tied?
13405The bodies of the young women have been atrociously and cowardly abused-- seest thou? 13405 The what?"
13405We shall soon reach the chiefs,said he;"I to revenge a brother''s death, thou to quit for ever thy tribe and thy children, Hast thou a wish?
13405Well, if this man had been killed, and one of his arms cut off, could you bring him to life, and also restore to him his arm?
13405Well, stranger, what will you give me to ferry you over?
13405What is the matter, Blackey?
13405What the devil can you have babbled about during the whole blessed night? 13405 What,"I exclaimed,"after he was dead?"
13405Where do you come from, eh?
13405Why not settle the matter with them all at once? 13405 Why, you are both of you mere children; she ca n''t get a house, and how could you support her?"
13405Would they not be too happy to exchange their furs against the corn, the tobacco, and good dried fish of the Shoshones? 13405 ''And the pocket- book?'' 13405 ''I know better,''he will say,''do n''t I? 13405 1, smacking his lips;''now have you the real genuine stuff? 13405 Accordingly, after putting one sheet in type? 13405 After a silence of a few minutes, he asked the Comanche chief what he could answer to that? 13405 And next? 13405 And to all the invectives and reproaches of Mrs. Slick he answered only with,''Here she goes? 13405 Are they not although rebels and unnatural children, still the children, of the Shoshones? 13405 At last the judge condescended to cease his whittling, and come to make his own bargain, which he did openly:Any good saddles, Fielding?
13405At last, an old chief rose and addressed Opishka:--"Great chief,"said he,"why askest thou?
13405But what could be expected from a Frenchman?
13405Can a Comanche and warrior think in any way but one?
13405Come, old chap, let us have your bill, and mind, make it out as for old customers, for we intend to return often; do n''t we?''
13405Could he not easily procure plates and inscribe thereon a set of characters, no matter what, and exhibit them to the intended witnesses as genuine?
13405Did I not- say so?
13405Didst thou ever dream of another voice than mine, a younger one, breathing of love and despair?"
13405Didst thou ever dream of one?
13405Do my warrior?
13405Do n''t you hear anything?"
13405Do they intend to conquer Missouri, Illinois, Mexico?
13405Does the snake offer peace to the squirrel when he kills him with the poison of his dreaded glance?
13405Dost thou know the love of a brother?
13405Down we darted?
13405Eh, Boone, my boy, how fares it with ye?"
13405Had they not the unlimited range of the prairies?
13405He was going, but the chief grasped him firmly by the arm,--"Where dost thou wish to go?
13405How can I escape?
13405How long it lasted none is living to say; and who could?
13405I hear?"
13405I only said,''How dare you, Sir?''
13405Is not the poison a deadly one?"
13405Is the buffalo less a buffalo when he grows old, or the eagle less an eagle when a hundred winters have whitened his wings?
13405Is there a place in the mountains or the prairies where the name of Mosh Kohta has not been pronounced and praised?
13405It is only the white Manitou that speaks to him, and how could the white Manitou know the nature of the Indians?
13405Now I was in uncommon bad temper that morning, and I answered his question with a"What do you mean, you old fool?"
13405Now, is an impure Cayuga a fit tomb for the body of a Comanche warrior?
13405Perceive you not how fast the blood runs into their veins?
13405See you not into their hearts?
13405Shall we chastise them and give their carcases to the crows and wolves?
13405Shall we return, or encamp here?"
13405The Prince spoke:--"Do you not want to become the most powerful nation of the West?
13405The chief looked at him and replied, with the most ineffable contempt:"What should I answer?"
13405The farmer then asked,--"You are quite certain that you can bring this man to life again?"
13405The merchant, however, would not:"Why did you take it?"
13405The question was, what was the length of the rope required;_ i.e._, what was the width of the river?
13405The text was--"Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
13405The young wanderer was amazed; he had now ten thousand dollars, but what could he do with so much money?
13405There stood the bleeding moon;''twas neither light nor obscurity; how could man divide the time and the seasons?
13405Was it good-- was it bad?
13405Was it good?
13405What Comanche ever scalped women and children?
13405What could he do?
13405What could we do?
13405What does this mean?
13405What evidence, then, have we of the_ existence_ of these plates?
13405What have they to eat?
13405What hunting and what fishing have you had this last year?
13405What must it then be on those who have resided with the Indians for years?
13405What next?
13405What say my warriors; let them speak?
13405What then shall we do?
13405What were the Crows before the coming of the white men, on the shores of the Buona Ventura?
13405What will you bet-- five, ten, fifty, hundred?
13405What would be easier than thus to impose on their credulity and weakness?
13405Where was the boasted superiority of the Texans over the Indian race?
13405Who ever heard of the Arrapahoes entering the war- path in night?
13405Who knows?
13405Who then could resist the Shoshones?
13405Who will say that the Mormon prophet is not among the great spirits of the age?
13405Why ask?
13405Why comest thou, false- hearted, to pour thy deceitful words into the ears of my young men?
13405Why did they act like wolves, biting their benefactors, instead of showing to them their gratitude?"
13405Why this exact discipline of the Mormon corps?
13405Why; can two suns light the same prairie, or two male eagles cover the same nest?
13405a pale- faced Oposh- ton- ehoc?
13405does an Indian say to the beaver, he comes to offer peace when he sets his traps for him?
13405gentlemen,''exclaimed Slick,''why did you not say so?
13405know such a people?
13405or could you now bring any dead man to life?"
13405said I,"are they shooting in the bar?"
13405speak?
13405suppose they are a vanguard of General Rusk''s army, and one of them should escape?
13405what can we expect from them and their assistance but exorbitant claims and undue interference?
13405why should they not get rich?
12495Ai n''t I honest, maw, and do n''t I pay my debts? 12495 And what about those partners of yours?"
12495And your rainbow, Casey Ryan?
12495Are those they?
12495Can we get there in time to paper the town and hire a hall to show in, Mister?
12495Casey dear, are you_ sure_ you have nothing in camp?
12495Could you hitch on your car, Mister, and pull us out?
12495D''they locate you in on''em?
12495D''you want''em to stay and finish your work?
12495Did n''t the crowd turn out like they expected?
12495Did she have on her war paint?
12495Do you like me when I have pretty dress on?
12495G''long, there-- can''t you? 12495 Gold?"
12495Good? 12495 Guess?

12495How''d_ you_ come to know anything about it?
12495How''s she comin'', Bill?
12495I wonder now if she do n''t sing, mebby?
12495If I do strike it, I wonder will she git too high- toned to cook?
12495If you fellers think I ca n''t bounce that there tin can down the road fast as any man in the country, why do n''t yuh pass me on the road? 12495 Lend?
12495Locate me-- in? 12495 Mah- mal Do we have to p- pay that there g- godsend?
12495Me? 12495 Me?
12495Me? 12495 Now will you tie Joe''s naughty hands jus''like that?
12495Oh, them?

12495Say, ai n''t your carburetor all off?

12495Unfinished? 12495 Was he--?"
12495Well, how much does it come to, mister?
12495Well? 12495 What about this other, new rainbow?"
12495What am I goin''to do, then?
12495What are you laughing at, Casey Ryan?
12495What do I need to learn how for?
12495What kinda shape is your extras in?
12495What the hell-- what''s the matter with you rabbits? 12495 What they raisin''thunder about?"
12495What yuh want a description of him for? 12495 What''s mineral- bearing wock, mother?"
12495Whatcha got there? 12495 Where''s their bed- rolls?"

12495You know Willow Pete?
12495You pack that kid all the way over here?
12495You said you got water for''em?
12495You think I''m scared to tell her what happened? 12495 A fire, mebby?
12495A gold mine, or perhaps silver or copper,--what matter which mineral he found, so long as it spelled wealth for him?
12495Ai n''t I the bag holder pro tem?"
12495Ai n''t it a real gag, Mister, us being stuck out here in a dry lake?"
12495Ai n''t that the last word in hard luck?
12495An''ai n''t my brother Joe honest, an''do n''t he pay_ his_ debts?
12495An''d''yuh trust your eyes when yuh look up, an''it looks like you could knock stars down with a tent pole, like yuh knock apples off''n trees?
12495An''did n''t I take yuh in my Ford auto-_mo_-bile, an''was n''t it twelve?
12495And when he told them that he had filled his engine with syrup instead of oil, what would any one think?
12495And, anyway, you''re makin''money off''n my bad luck right along, ai n''t yuh?
12495At eight o''clock the next morning Bill came in to tell Casey that the show people had brought up their car to be fixed, and was the pay good?
12495Buried him yet?"
12495But just what did he look like?
12495But they found it, did n''t they?"
12495But you''ll do us the favor to lend us your car, wo n''t you?
12495C- can I g- give my b- bunny some b- bacon, Mister G- godsend?"
12495C- can you p- pay for more b- bacon for me, mah- ma?"
12495Ca n''t we go somewhere and talk it over?
12495Can you picture Casey Ryan rocking that child to sleep?
12495Can- n yuh play the fiddle- o?
12495Can- n yuh play the fiddle- o?
12495Casey Ryan too old to lick any man who gave him cause, too old to hold the fickle esteem of those who met him in the road?
12495Could n''t we fix it up some way?"
12495Could yuh beat that fer gall?
12495D''you ever know Casey Ryan to ever come out anywheres but at the little end uh the horn?
12495Did n''t he ride after his own driving every day of his life?
12495Did n''t he ship his rubber in by express, ruther''n to buy off me?"
12495Did they think they could honk him off the road?
12495Do n''t you believe that?"
12495Do you think it''s ever going to strike the ore body at all?"
12495Ever been over the road west uh Needles, Casey?"
12495Flames do n''t travel like that-- huh?"
12495Get the money, see?
12495Goats?"
12495Got oil enough?
12495Guess she''ll hold six Bohunks, wo n''t she-- with sideboards on?
12495Had he ever got killed?
12495Had he ever killed anybody else?
12495Had he made the trip with Casey Ryan and his new Ford?
12495Had n''t he lived in gold country all his life, almost, and did n''t he know mineral formations as well as many a school-- trained expert?
12495Have you got lots of money?"
12495He could still be happy--"_ What_ yuh doin''that for?"
12495He in here?"
12495He_ had_?
12495How could them darn tourists tell''what was goin''on in Patmos?
12495How deep is your shaft?"
12495How far is it from here to San Jose, Californy?"
12495How far is it to Rhyolite?"
12495How long yo''ketchum heap jam, heap shirt?"
12495How''re we going to make it, with our car layin''around all over your garage?"
12495I quit, did n''t I tell yuh?
12495If I''d a- gone along with no bad luck, I would n''t never a- found that tenderfoot camp, would I?
12495Is n''t he a nice gentleman?
12495It''s kinda hard on the tourists, do n''t yuh think?"
12495Me?
12495Me?"
12495Mister, could n''t you have bad luck, or be sick or something, so we could give a benefit for you?
12495Ryan?"
12495Say, what kinda town is this you wished on to us, anyway?
12495So why honk?
12495Think I''d marry a squaw--?"
12495Want it cashed, or applied to your old checking account?
12495Was n''t it me you was writin''up, these last few days?"
12495Was you kidding us,"she added, with a betrayal of more real anxiety than she intended,"when you said Rhyolite is a dead one?
12495Well, then, why had the last horse died down the canyon?
12495Whadda I want a wife for, anyway?
12495Whadda yuh say that is, just makin''a guess?
12495What about old Jim?
12495What is your name?"
12495What were they all yawping about, then?
12495What you think Hahnaga want of money?
12495What yuh askin''for the four just as they stand?"
12495What''s that, even with silver at a dollar an ounce?
12495What''s the chance of a bite, Hon?"
12495Why do n''t yuh come out in the open, an''say you do n''t_ know_?
12495Will you give Joe a beating and tie his naughty hands jus''like that when he wakes up?"
12495Will you give me the silk shirts and the jam?"
12495Would it now?"
12495Would n''t they believe it, Mister, if it was told that you had been in an accident and got crippled for life?"
12495Would n''t you writhe and invent words and apply them viciously to all Fords and the man who invented them?
12495Would you think the man lived, maw, that would set a man with a fambly afoot out on the desert like this?"
12495Yo''ketchum jam, ketchum shirt-- how many jam yo''ketchum?"
12495You ca n''t blame him for that, can you?
12495You got water here, ai n''t yuh?
12495You mean, as a partner?
12495You say you got my size?
12495You think Casey Ryan has got to the point where he''s scared to tell what he done and all he done?
12495You thought you could bluff me-- that I''d stand meekly by and let you two bullies have your own way about it, did you?
12495You''ll come, then, and work for me?
12495You''ll keep your promise, wo n''t you, dear boy?"
12495Yuh want Casey to go around lop- sided, with only one ear?"
12495_ Do n''t_ they?
12495_ Do_ yuh?
12281''Depend on what?'' 12281 ''Do n''t you know, sir, that I''m in authority here?''
12281''Is-- is-- is the four o''clock train the first out?'' 12281 ''Must I continue to listen to these insults on every hand?''
12281''No, I have n''t,''I answered,''but are you going to stay all night here?'' 12281 ''Then how does it come that you are at liberty?''
12281''Were you ever charged with any crime before?'' 12281 ''What did you do then?''
12281''What was the result?'' 12281 ''Why wo n''t you count with me?''
12281Alexander, if you wish to see your mother, come to San Antonio, wo n''t you, please?
12281Are you the son of Don Ramon Mora?
12281But did you notice those three graves on the last ridge of sand- hills to the right as we came out of the Cimarron bottoms yesterday? 12281 But supposing we are busy when it takes place,"said Mouse,"then what?"
12281But why did you take them back to the sand- hills to bury them?
12281But why not now?
12281But why not tell me?
12281Ca n''t you see that I''m occupied at present?
12281Colonel,added Baugh,"why is it that you never tell that experience you had once amongst the greasers?"
12281Could I see you privately for a few minutes?
12281Do you realize what it will take to get them?
12281Do you remember,said Babe,"when I dissolved with the''Ohio''outfit and bought in with the''LX''people?"
12281Have n''t you got one for us?
12281Have you ever been back in old San Saba since we left?
12281Hold on a minute, are n''t you a trifle high on your estimate?
12281How did he do it? 12281 How long ago was that?"
12281How many men are there in the Strip?
12281I am,replied the young man;"wo n''t you dismount?"
12281I do n''t reckon that captain had any scruples about taking his share of the prize money, did he?
12281I thank you for your kindness,said Don Ramon,"but is there no chance to be given me to prove the falsity of these charges?
12281Is there any hope from any source?
12281Is this possible?
12281Mr. Baughman, vill you not haf one drink mit me?
12281Now, mine frendt, vat ish i d?
12281Oh, we swim this evening, do we?
12281On what authority?
12281Shentlemens, I''ll dry do,said Louie,"but you will not dake a drink mit me once again, aind it?"
12281Shentlemens, how can I refuse to be one sheriff? 12281 So you think I''ve lost my number, do you?"
12281The point- men smiled at Pink''s orders, and one asked,''Are you ready now?'' 12281 Then he wilted and inquired,''Do you think I can cross if it swims them any?''
12281Well, boom if you want,said Tom Roll,"but do you all remember what the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina?"
12281Well, what are you doing in this country anyhow?
12281What do you fellows want here?
12281What ever became of the O''Shea girls?
12281What guard are you going to put me on to- night?
12281What in hell are you doing with my horses?
12281What is it?
12281When you what?
12281Which limb will be best?
12281Who are you?
12281Who gets the turkey?
12281Who is it?
12281Why do n''t you go this winter? 12281 Why?"
12281You did n''t know that I just came from Montana, did you, Tom?
12281Your answer to that, Don Ramon?
12281''Are all three dead?''
12281''Besides, what are you going to do about it?
12281''But wo n''t you all ride over to our wagon with me?
12281''If so, when and where?''
12281''Killed a Chinaman, did you?''
12281''Sam,''he would say,--my father''s name was Sam,--''Sam, why on earth is it that you never come to see me?
12281''What in hell are you varments trying to do?''
12281''When did you get the chips in this game, I''d like to know?
12281''Young man, do you know just what you are trying to do?''
12281Abner Taylor, witnessing the incident, rode over to a companion and inquired:"Did you notice my line- back poker steer play his last trump?
12281After I had made an earnest sincere talk she asked me,''No estay loco tu?''
12281After drinking alkali water for a month and living out of tin cans, who would n''t love Jack?
12281Am I condemned to die without a hearing?"
12281An hour afterwards, he walked up to the bar, and asked,"Is Mr. Seigerman in?"
12281Are you armed?''
12281Are you such base ingrates that you can show no mercy, not even to the innocent?"
12281As we strolled out into the street, Joe inquired,"Ace, where will I see you after supper?"
12281At this moment Miller dashed up and demanded,"What in hell are you trying to do?"
12281At this the Val Verde boy got on the prod slightly, and expressed himself, saying,''Why do n''t you have two of the other boys count them?
12281Can I send him such a letter?"
12281Can any of you boys tie a hangman''s knot?"
12281Could he not as well as yourself raise this amount?
12281Could he not do this as well as you?"
12281Could his spirit suffer the humiliation of meeting his old companions after such defeat?
12281Darkness had settled over the camp as we were at this work, while an occasional horseman rode by with the common inquiry,"Whose outfit is this?"
12281Did n''t I notice some young calves among your cattle this morning?
12281Did you hear me?"
12281Did you notice him paying strict attention to Smoky''s little talk?
12281Do n''t you think so, Stubby?"
12281Do we look as though a swim would improve our good looks?"
12281Do you suppose we could get any whiskey back at this Indian trader''s store?''
12281Do you think I''ll walk and lead you home?"
12281Do you think we ca n''t entertain you?
12281Drivers frequently meeting a chance acquaintance going in an opposite direction would ask,"What is your cargo?"
12281Edwards confronted him and said,"Do you contest my right to this claim?"
12281Finally Billy Edwards brought things to a head by asking bluntly,"What''s up with Jack?
12281Finally he inquired,"What ever became of that little fellow who was sick about your camp?"
12281Going to hang him, are you?
12281Have we no hunters with us?"
12281Have you a match?"
12281He was a ranchman at this time, so when I presented my prisoner he only said,''Killed a Chinese, did he?
12281His bondsmen began to inquire into the situation; in case the property could not be recovered, were they liable as bondsmen?
12281How come thees rope untie?"
12281How does the count suit you, boss?''
12281I hope you do n''t think for a moment that I would n''t like to visit you; now do you?''
12281I remarked to him at dinner,''You''re feeding a mite better this year, ai n''t you?''
12281Is that plain enough for your conception?
12281Is your underwear too light?"
12281Jed says that when the girls were describing their trip through Europe, one of them happened to mention Rome, when the old lady interrupted:''Rome?
12281Look at Mexico over there burying his fangs in the venison, will you?"
12281Lucky, ai n''t I?"
12281Now, can you play your part?"
12281Oppose the progress of the town, too, do you?''
12281Orchard looked over the edge of the rock at his reflection in the water, and ventured,"Would n''t I need a shave?
12281Our counters rode together, and Californy, leaning over on the pommel of his saddle, said to his pardner,''What you got?''
12281Rome?
12281Sabe?
12281Salt?
12281The messenger stayed all night, and in the morning asked,"Shall I order cars for you?"
12281Their tenants were killed over that trail; you see now why I hate to refer to it, do n''t you?
12281They were singing over at one of the wagons across the draw, and after the song ended, Bradshaw asked,"What ever became of Raneka Bill Hunter?"
12281This is your first trip, is n''t it?''
12281Was not he a unit of millions of his kind, all forging forward like brigades of a king''s army to possess themselves of some unconquered country?
12281Were n''t you with us when we voted the bonds to the railroad company?"
12281What business did you have voting bonds?"
12281What possessed you to bet it?"
12281What''s got into you boys?''
12281What''s your name?''
12281What, you never heard of it?
12281When the cigars were lighted Baugh observed,"Why, do you keep hotel?
12281Where have you been so long?"
12281Where is Rome?''
12281While the foreman was looking up accounts and making out the time of each, Baugh asked him,"When is the wagon going in after the winter''s supplies?"
12281Who is-- that with-- her?
12281Why did these routes separate and come together again?
12281Why do n''t you join us?"
12281Why had he not listened to the majority and been true to an accepted duty?
12281Why not accompany them?
12281Will you become our candidate?"
12281Will you kindly excuse me, say ten minutes?''
12281Wo n''t that satisfy you?''
12281Would they accept this offer or refuse it?
12281You ai n''t asleep, are you, Don Guillermo?"
12281You did?
12281You''re alive, ai n''t you?"
12281You''re the cook, ai n''t you?''
12281and ought n''t I to have a string of beads around my swan- like neck, with a few spangles on it to glitter and sparkle?
12281him pray?"
16870''Got it in your shirt?'' 16870 ''Got your twig?''
16870''Stick it in th''other feller''s footprints?'' 16870 ''Then th''twig''s no good, is it?''
16870''Well, you did n''t win, did you?'' 16870 Ai n''t the bunk house good enough for you?"
16870An inawhat?
16870An''then Barry, who was interpretin''for th''old Injun, asked him quiet- like, in th''Injun lingo,''How many of you was there, John?'' 16870 An''would you b''lieve it?
16870And how I said maybe it was a good omen, and there ought to be something doing on the ranch? 16870 And that''s all you''ve caught?"
16870Are you going to get out, Bill?
16870Can you beat that?
16870Dey did?
16870Did Bill suspect any one?
16870Did n''t them suggestions o''mine''bout white men an''Injuns start him thinkin''''bout that bad White Chief hombre? 16870 Did n''t you see who the thief was?"
16870Did she say all them words?
16870Did they ever find out how many Injuns was there? 16870 Did you like it when you were a kid?"
16870Do n''t you see? 16870 Do you mean to say that I have to walk twenty- five miles?"
16870Ever get stretched with one?
16870Gum?
16870Had anythin''t''eat, Henry?
16870Have n''t you a name to suggest?
16870Have those threshers killed Gil Steele?
16870Heah? 16870 Hello, Injun, what''s all this?"
16870Here''s your mount, son,said Chet,"an''if you''ll keep t''th''--""Am I to ride_ that_?"
16870How about you?
16870How is your misery?
16870How long you been fishing here?
16870How many men d''ye s''pose they''ve got in there?
16870How''bout Moses? 16870 How''m I goin''t''prove it?"
16870How?
16870I mean what do you want to catch the fish for?
16870If we ride straight for them, how far do you think we''ll be from the water tank?
16870Injun, do you remember the day Bull came?
16870Injun, where''s the spade?
16870Is that Monty lying dead over there?
16870Is that the business Bill sent me on?
16870Is this a yarn''bout a bulldog or a lecture on them foreign habits? 16870 Just among friends, Injun, d''ye think white folks as a class stacks up perty good?"
16870Lots o''you fellers are cowmen, ai n''t you?
16870Me get''i m back?
16870Nobody in these parts''d have a dog like that, an''if they did, what would he be doin''follerin''a wagon? 16870 Now, what''s all this about?"
16870O''course,said Bill,"they''s good an''bad''mongst''em, but I mean t''stack''em up against Injuns, as a whole tribe, see?"
16870Say, Bill,Shorty cried,"you got th''new time- table?"
16870See?
16870Silent?
16870Them conditions goes,Charlie agreed,"do n''t they, fellers?"
16870Then Sure Thing goes up to Lem, an''he sez,''Lem, have you got a braided linen rope in the outfit?'' 16870 Then you did n''t hear anything?"
16870They ai n''t eatin''the straw, are they?
16870Well, did I make Injun talk, an''do we get them peaches?
16870Well, did n''t you notice that th''Eastern Express leaves two hours earlier now?
16870Well, what d''ye think o''that?
16870What are you fishing for, Injun?
16870What can a dog be doing out there?
16870What d''ye s''pose our Injun thinks''bout this here rule as says he ai n''t as good as that pie- faced Jim Adams? 16870 What d''ye say?
16870What did the White Chief do when he went back?
16870What do you know''bout Injuns?
16870What do you s''pose that is?
16870What do you want to work for?
16870What him do-- eat bulls?
16870What kind o''fambly was that?
16870What was I to think, finding them that way?
16870What was that other news you were going to tell me?
16870What you fellers doin''here?
16870What you shootin''at?
16870What''s John going for?
16870What''s a discus?
16870What''s all this rumpus about, Injun?
16870What''s going on at the Hanley Ranch, Injun?
16870What''s the difference?
16870What''s the difference?
16870What''s the use of anything?
16870Wheah''s mah watch?
16870When''s John going?
16870Where are their horses?
16870Where d''ye reck''n he come from?
16870Where is the T Up and Down?
16870Who did?
16870Who in thunder d''ye s''pose that White Chief was?
16870Who tied you?
16870Why did n''t they shoot them, if they had to kill them?
16870Why did th''Old Man do it? 16870 Why do n''t they bring some home?
16870Why do n''t you stay with me, Injun?
16870Why do n''t you tell us a story, Injun?
16870Why do you s''pose they went to the bridge? 16870 Wo n''t we do?"
16870Would you b''lieve a Injun''stead o''me?
16870Y''all ready for school to- morrow, Whitey?
16870You ai n''t goin''to kill this boy? 16870 You look kinda shaky, Whitey,"said Bill"You been makin''a night of it, too?"
16870Your old man was a blacksmith, wa''n''t he, Bill?
16870''Why?''
16870A magician was giving a performance at the camp, and after every trick the miners would say,"I wonder what he''s going to do next?"
16870Ai n''t it funny how when an Englishman comes t''this country he brings his habits with him, or twists ours aroun''t''fit his''n?"
16870Ai n''t that so, fellers?"
16870An''did n''t I get rid o''Henry Dorgan,''cause Injun''s distrustful of him, an''would n''t chin with him''round?"
16870An''he asks, weak- like:"''Say, Bill, what in tarnation is a fox?''"
16870And after one of the most difficult tricks, when a puncher said,"I wonder what he''s goin''t''do next?"
16870And again, after a pause,"And who''s goin''t''tell his gal over on the Little Divide?"
16870And where bound?
16870And, peering out, he asked,"I wonder what he''s going to do next?"
16870Are we goin''t''let him get away?"
16870Bill?"
16870But against whom?
16870But do you think he voiced his objections to them?
16870But why dwell on it?
16870Ca n''t you give a feller credit for no''magination?"
16870Call off yer dog, will ye?"
16870D''ye want t''go?''
16870Did n''t I tell you all when a Injun talks he says somethin''?"
16870Did you ever notice that the first day of school always is beautiful?
16870Did you, Mr. or Miss Reader, ever have a helpless animal look at you in that way?
16870Do n''t you see?"
16870Do you ever tire of shows?
16870How do you suppose we heard those shots?
16870How in thunder do I know?
16870How should I know?
16870How''d ye like t''go out on th''range an''take a look at it?"
16870I ai n''t no anarkiss, but--""What''s an anarkiss?"
16870If these men were open and aboveboard, why were they whispering in the dimly lighted bunk house?
16870If you had been there would you have wanted to stay and see the thing out?
16870If, if, if-- oh, what was the use?
16870It was certain that none of the ranchmen in the vicinity owned such a dog, and even so, or if a visitor owned him, how would he get to the Bar O?
16870Kin you keep it goin?
16870Lives there a boy with soul so dead that he does not hunger for a show?
16870Merciless and hard it seems, does n''t it?
16870Now, how''m I goin''t''cook, wid dat misery wuss''n evah?"
16870Seems a funny way to fire a revolver, does n''t it?
16870Should he go on, or should he sleep some more?
16870So this was the meaning of it all?
16870So what''ll I do?
16870Soon Bill Jordan was saying to Jim Walker:"Where d''you s''pose them kids get all that gum?"
16870Suddenly Whitey thought of the negro cook, the only other man on the place, and demanded,"Where''s Slim?"
16870This does n''t seem to offer much chance for entertainment, does it?
16870Walk, with"them legs"?
16870What day of the month is it?"
16870What was an old bear doing near the ranch, anyhow?
16870What will I do?
16870When do they ketch them pick''rul?
16870Where was Cal Smith''s ranch, a mile this side of the Zumbro?
16870Where were they from?
16870Where''s Injun?
16870Why did n''t I think of him before?"
16870Why did n''t the heavens fall?
16870Why did n''t they do something?
16870Why did not the sheepmen escape from the back of the house?
16870Why do n''t you take him along onc''t, an''show him his mistake?"
16870Why were they not answered from the hills?
16870You ai n''t goin''to fire on him?"
16870You boys like t''stay with th''herd t''night?
16870You do n''t mind stayin''overnight, do you?"
16870You know how he likes t''ride in a wagon?
16870You remember Felix, the jack that Whitey rode across the prairie, and Felix''s job of turning the little grinding- mill?
16870You would think that Injun and Whitey would have been over that?
16870pardners, ai n''t it hell?"
13709''An''why not?"
13709''Be you hurt, Major?"
13709''Be you- all conversant with that gun you packs?"
13709''Be you- all goin''to do the sundry deeds you sets forth in the programmes?"
13709''Dan,"says the ring master when we''re in the dressin''room,"when the leapin''begins, you- all go on with the others an''do a somersault or two?"
13709''How long do I gaze for four bits?"
13709''Take a look at the moon?"
13709''Then thar ai n''t goin''to be no dooel between us?"
13709''Then the Yanks will corral me?"
13709''Vamoosed, where at?"
13709''What''s the ante?"
13709''What''s this talk about Satan?"
13709''Whatever be they doin''?"
13709''Whatever''s wrong with him, Doc?"
13709''Where did you say them Yankees comes from, Major?"
13709''Where''s these clients?"
13709''After all,''says Texas bitterly to himse''f,''others has suffered; wherefore, then, should this jaybird gent escape?'' 13709 ''An''I reckons now,''says Dan Boggs,''you severs your relations with the war?''
13709''An''do I onderstand, sir,''says Coyote some agitated,''that you''ll come with off''cers to put me outen my dug- out?'' 13709 ''An''then,''asks Enright,''whatever does this locoed parent do?''
13709''An''whatever be they doin''?'' 13709 ''An''wherein does this Bloo Grass party resemble me?''
13709''An''wherever doorin''this emute is Dave?'' 13709 ''Be I scared of ghosts?''
13709''Be you- all scared of ghosts, Dan?'' 13709 ''Be you- all the partner Mister Hall mentions?''
13709''Bury him? 13709 ''But how about this cat hunt?"
13709''But is thar folks thar?'' 13709 ''But whatever''s the call for you to elope at all?''
13709''But whatever''s your objection,''argues Enright,''to this young an''trusty sport who''s so eager to we d Abby?'' 13709 ''Could n''t you- all have gone with Crook ag''in?''
13709''Did you kill him, Dan?'' 13709 ''Do I think thar''s folks on the moon?''
13709''Do n''t they have no roast dog at that warjig?'' 13709 ''Do n''t you- all reckon,''says Enright to the pinfeather party,''that pendin''hostilities, Abby had better go over to Missis Rucker''s?
13709''Do they lock you up?'' 13709 ''Does Sunbright so love me,''says Black Cloud, turnin''aheap ugly,''that she comes to meet me?
13709''How about it,''whispers Peets;''shall I do the shootin''?'' 13709 ''Is your wife dead?"
13709''Joke? 13709 ''Oh, Dave?''
13709''See thar?'' 13709 ''Shore,''says Peets, in a case- hardened, pitiless tone,''an''why not?
13709''Suppose I does retire that Greaser''s hand from cirk''lation?'' 13709 ''Tell you- all folks what''s the matter with Dave?''
13709''What limit do you give me?'' 13709 ''Whatever be you hummin''toones for, Dave?''
13709''Whatever did you do or say, Doc?'' 13709 ''Whatever do you think yourse''f, Colonel?''
13709''Whatever for a play would it be,''says Cherokee,''to go an''ask Dave himse''f right now?'' 13709 ''Whatever is his name, then?''
13709''Whatever is it then?'' 13709 ''Whatever is my speshulty, Cherokee?''
13709''Whatever''s the meanin''of this yere concourse?'' 13709 ''Wherever be you p''intin''for?''
13709''Whichever is it then?'' 13709 ''Who be they?
13709''Why not?'' 13709 ''Whyever if she''s locoed, then,''argues Dan,''do n''t they up an''hive her in one of their madhouse camps?
13709''You''ll have a list of marvels,''I says,''to avalanche upon the people when you cuts the trail of your ancestral tribe ag''in?'' 13709 About the foogitive Cheyennes?
13709And so there were no lawyers in Wolfville?
13709And the Caldwell beauty?
13709But about ghosts?
13709But you- all got a battery final, Major?'' 13709 Ca n''t nothin''be done for Dave?"
13709Do you- all believe in the bad luck of opals?
13709Does the Stranglers do anything to this Holliday? 13709 Ghosts?"
13709Goin''to the dance?
13709However does Coyote get wrastled by that badger? 13709 However does this yere virgin look?
13709It''s a great ride, says you? 13709 It''s to be a evenin''of friendly peace?"
13709Lawyers in Wolfville?
13709Let him whoop it up; he''s paying for it, ai n''t he?
13709Recall him? 13709 Son, consider what a example to travellers is set by that ontootered savage?
13709Spectres? 13709 Tell you what chances along the trail?
13709Tharupon Bloojacket wheels on the half- breed who runs the deadfall an''who''s standin''still an''scared, an''says:''How much does he owe?''
13709Timid? 13709 What becomes of the Lance?
13709What''s the trouble with the red- eyed pony? 13709 Whatever do we do for amoosements?
13709Whatever do you call that?
13709Whatever is a''outfit''you asks? 13709 Why do n''t Coyote p''isen hunks of meat you asks?
13709Why ever do n''t you go?
13709''Ai n''t this goin''of yours some sudden?''
13709''An''now may I enquire how strong be you?
13709''Do you think thar''s folks on the moon?''
13709''How strong be you- all, may I ask?''
13709''What''s the difference?
13709Am I to be debarred of my rights by some coyote- slaughterin''invader an''onmurmurin''ly accede tharto?
13709An''yet when that party cashes in, whatever does the lady do?
13709Be I to blame because your toilet ai n''t complete?
13709But of what avail would be such recount?
13709But what can we do?
13709But wherefore extend ourselves regretfully?
13709Ca n''t you- all make''em stop?''
13709Can a dog onderstand a wolf?
13709Cherokee Hall?
13709Do n''t you know it only makes''em madder?"
13709Do n''t you say so, Doc?''
13709Do n''t you- all tell me we''re partners?''
13709Do you- all blame me?
13709Does Bowlaigs know it?
13709Does she wear her new blanket an''paint her face bright for Black Cloud?
13709Does that onderstandin''go?''
13709Does you- all recall the fate, Shoestring, of the last misguided shorthorn who gives way to sech a query?
13709Draw?
13709Enright asks ag''in:''What do you- all think?''
13709For why?
13709Gents, as I fills my glass, I asks you- all however now do you reckon that wizard beats a retreat?''
13709He''pless?
13709How be you goin''to he''p it, onless you piles up shore- enough disgrace by desertin''them lancers of yours?"
13709However is anybody goin''to be a slave where thar''s as near nothin''to do in the way of work as is possible an''let a hooman live?
13709I asks you, as onbiased sports, would you set ca''mly down while a party named"Toad"puts himse''f in nom''nation to be your son- in- law?''
13709I leaves it to you- all; be I right?''
13709I''m drinkin''at the time, an''I do n''t reckon now you attaches importance to what a gent says when he''s in licker?"
13709If driven by stress of conversation to something akin to it the cowboy will say:"What may I call you, sir?"
13709Is Jeffords dangerous?
13709Is it for me she has combed her h''ar an''put on a new feather an''beads?
13709It''s no use; I knows I''ll loathe myse''f for crawlin''the hump of a gent who''s totterin''on the brink of the grave; but whatever else can I do?
13709It''s so with mules an''broncos; wherefore, then, may not these differences exist among Injuns?
13709Now whatever do you- all reckon this old tabby does?
13709Now who be you?
13709Or does she dress herse''f like the sun for that Creek coyote, the Lance?''"
13709Texas Thompson fixes his eyes tharon, meditative an''pensive, an''then he wonders:"''Do you- all reckon, now, that folks is livin''up thar?''
13709Then one of the bucks, lookin''about like he''s amazed, says:''Wherever is the Jack Rabbit?''
13709Then wheelin''on Waco Anderson who strolls over, Easy Aaron demands plenty f''rocious:"Whoever does this dastard deed?"
13709What do I do?
13709What do you- all reckon now that miscreant does?
13709What''s a ha''r copper?
13709What''s the result?
13709Whatever do you mean by shootin''at them Yankees?
13709Whatever now do you think of this?
13709When did he say he''d be back from Tucson?''
13709Where you hail from?
13709Whoever do you- all reckon now he wants?
13709Whoever is that gent, Peets, who says,"love is blind"?
13709Why do n''t I corral an''hold''em when they''re in my clutch?
13709You hears that squaws is slaves?
13709You knows how eloquent I am about Shoestring?
13709You recall whom I mean?"
13709You saveys a Gander Pullin''?
13709You- all recalls when they pays twenty- five dollars for skelps in Tucson?
13709ai n''t it my dooty-- me who saveys what he''s ag''inst-- to go warn this victim ag''in matrimony in all its horrors?''
13709also, what''s your little game?''
13709asks Faro Nell, who''s as immersed as the rest in these settin''s forth;''what do you- all reckon now is my speshulty?''
13709what do you- all reckon would have been results if we had n''t cut in on the_ baile_ at the time we does?''
13709where going?
13709why?
12791A mottled beef, branded 7L?
12791A white cow for you,said Straw, nodding to Forrest,"and what color for you?"
12791About how many have you now, and how do they run?
12791And about horses: will one apiece be enough?
12791And had you any idea where you were?
12791And how many men did it take?
12791And send the outfits across country to Trail City?
12791And we could claim this valley, by simply occupying it with cattle, and hold possession of its grazing privileges?
12791And when did you leave Dodge?
12791And when will your herd reach the Beaver?
12791And you lads are Wells Brothers?
12791And you rushed away and palmed my random talking off on Dell as original advice? 12791 And you were n''t afraid?"
12791And you?
12791And you?--don''t you?
12791Any calves among the strays?
12791Any one tell your fortune lately?
12791Anything else?
12791Are you going?
12791But how can we get a start of cattle?
12791But suppose he does n''t recover as soon as expected,cautiously protested Joel,"where are we to get further provision?"
12791But suppose no one ever calls for these stray cows?
12791But suppose those big Texas beeves had stampeded, then what?
12791But where are we to get the cattle to stock such a big country?
12791Ca n''t we poison him?
12791Can he walk, or can you and I carry him?
12791Delivery here or elsewhere?
12791Did I have it?--the buck ague?
12791Did you ever hear of anything like this?
12791Did you notice a big steer that came in with the last cattle, and which was overlooked in branding?
12791Did you notice my throw? 12791 Did you notice the older boy brighten,"inquired the visitor,"when you suggested leaving horses in their care?
12791Did you say that control of a range was a basis on which to start a ranch, and that it had a value?
12791Do you claim that a northern cowman can buy cattle from a Texas drover without money?
12791Do you think so?
12791Do you want his hide, or can I have it?
12791Forrest only rustled you three hundred and fifty cattle? 12791 Going to brand the calves?"
12791Had them robbing each other for us, eh?
12791Has Dell told you everything?
12791Have you no cows?
12791Holding down a homestead, I suppose?
12791How are we to fight them?
12791How did you make out during the night?
12791How do snowballs taste for breakfast?
12791How do you like an all- night drift?
12791How does that sound?
12791How many baits have you?
12791How many do you say?
12791How many herds between here and the railroad?
12791How many strays have you?
12791I suppose the range is for sale?
12791In case we need it, can you get us another permit to bring Texas cattle into Kansas?
12791Is Quince Forrest here?
12791Is n''t it a pretty range?
12791Is that fretting you?
12791Is that your prospect for a Christmas roast?
12791Look here, Mr. Joel,said he,"are these the cattle I sold you last summer?"
12791Look here-- how about it-- when may we expect you home?
12791Mr. Paul-- our boss?
12791No one else was afraid, and why should I be? 12791 No?
12791Not like the pictures of cowboys?--not shooting and galloping their horses?
12791Not that I remember; why?
12791Nothing small or stingy about that, eh? 12791 Notice any cattle as you came down the creek?"
12791One of your men hurt?
12791Rabbits and other rodents are at home under this sleet, and what is there to live on but stock? 12791 Remember the night you slept with me?
12791Shall we put out poison to- night?
12791Stick? 12791 Suppose this wounded man dies on our hands?
12791The grasses, the grasses?
12791The one that you reminded me of when you shot the rifle into the ground at your feet and scared the antelope away? 12791 Then, will you stand sponsor-- will you go their security?"
12791Well, what''s lacking?
12791Were you afraid of the men with the herd to- day?--afraid of the cowboys?
12791What are you going to call the new tepee?
12791What are your native grasses?
12791What can we do?
12791What did you mean?
12791What do you think of the range?
12791What does he say?
12791What does it mean?
12791What is the reason,inquired Joel,"that so many cattle are leaving your State for the upper country?"
12791What is your county?
12791What on earth do you think is detaining that man?
12791What''s the brand on my white cow?
12791What''s the soil, and how about water?
12791What''s this I hear about you laying off, and trying to eat some poor nester out of house and home? 12791 What''s your hurry?"
12791When did you leave Dodge?
12791When will we put out the poison?
12791When will we put the cattle under herd?
12791Where are the nearest ranches to ours?
12791Where can we turn them?
12791Where''s Dr. Joel Wells?
12791Where''s your herd?
12791Which herd did you come up with?
12791Who are Wells Brothers?
12791Who is that man across the herd, waving at us?
12791Who knows the estimate on the total drive this year?
12791Why not? 12791 Why, no,"replied Joel rather scornfully, from the security of his bunk;"who would be afraid?
12791Will you make me a promise?
12791Wolves? 12791 Would there be any harm if I went down to the bank of the river and gave the long yell?"
12791Would you mind repeating,said he,"what you said awhile ago, about control of a range by prior rights?"
12791You are in no particular hurry, are you, Doctor?
12791You mean for the herd to follow the old trail,he inquired,"and turn off opposite our middle tank?"
12791You-- going-- to-- buy-- more-- cattle?
12791Young man,inquired Forrest of Joel,"what''s your authority for that statement?"
12791Able to sit up and take notice?--no complications, I hope?"
12791Am I right, boys?"
12791Are you three plotting against me?"
12791Blankets?
12791Boys, are you ready?"
12791Buy three thousand head of cattle unseen?
12791Did you ever notice that the farther north it goes, a Texas trail outfit gets tastier?
12791Do n''t you remember Mr. Quince telling about rafting his wagon across swimming rivers?
12791Do n''t you remember the old weather proverb, of March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb?
12791Do you like lettuce?"
12791Have n''t you heard pa tell how soldiers died from slight wounds?--from blood- poisoning?
12791He drove up at sunset, with a chuck- wagon, halted at the tent, and in his usual easy manner inquired,"Where is the matron of this hospital?"
12791Help me figure it out: Can you put me on the railroad by noon?"
12791Hold these cattle?
12791How did the Two Bars and the---- Y cows winter?"
12791How many cattle have you?"
12791How''s the black cow I gave you last summer?"
12791I wonder if he''ll forgive me?"
12791If a dry, open winter followed, success was assured; if the reverse, was it right to try out the very souls of these waifs in a wintry crucible?
12791Is there anything else that you need?"
12791Is there nothing we can do?"
12791It says three thousand Comanche County two- year- olds, do n''t it?"
12791Lovell''s cattle?
12791Mrs. Wolf, will you have a hackberry plate, or do you prefer the scent of cottonwood?
12791News to you?
12791Notice his saddle poise, will you, Paul?
12791On the trail with cattle, I reckon?"
12791Remember that story Mr. Quince told about a Mexican boy throwing himself across a gateway, and letting a thousand range horses jump over him?
12791Say, does this dim wagon track we''re following lead to Wells Brothers''ranch?"
12791See that white cow yonder?"
12791Shall I go?
12791Still driving for Uncle Jess Ellison, I reckon?"
12791Straw that red cattle were worth the most?"
12791Suppose they were here yet, and we had to build fires, or stand guard over the herd to- night, like trail men, could we do it?"
12791Suppose you save a thousand head out of the cripples this year, what have they cost you?"
12791Take it all along the line, was n''t it good fighting?"
12791That red- headed boy delivered my messages, I reckon?
12791Then to Forrest,"Son, think it''ll ever happen again?"
12791These men have proved their friendship, and why stand in our own light?
12791Was there a possible tide in the primitive range, which taken at its flood would lead these waifs to fortune?
12791Well, did you ever see a white cow with a black face?"
12791What do you say?"
12791What do you say?"
12791What do you suppose his choice was?"
12791What do you suppose they are talking about?"
12791What does this mean?
12791What else?"
12791What kind of a country have you out there?"
12791What then?
12791What was that?"
12791What would Mr. Paul say if we let the wolves kill our cattle?"
12791What would you say was the right thing to do?"
12791What''s your count?"
12791What''s your favorite color in cows?"
12791What?
12791When Mr. Lovell raised the question of arranging to water his herds from our beaver ponds, do you remember how Mr. Quince answered for us?
12791Where does that 7L steer range?"
12791Where were you?"
12791Where''s your brother?"
12791Where''s your outfit camped?"
12791Who will we send?"
12791Who would credit us?"
12791Why did n''t you take that black cow and calf?"
12791Why do you reckon we overlooked branding him?"
12791Will you do that?"
12791Will you need a fresh horse to- day?
12791With hand extended, he smilingly inquired,"Do n''t you remember the day we branded your cattle?
12791he politely inquired of the Running W foreman, while the latter''s herd was watering,"of a river only running at night?"
14902Again I ask you, will you tell me where the girl is?
14902And do you think there is gold here, in this flower- strewn pocket- valley?
14902And my companion, here--?
14902And what are they, may I ask?
14902Are you lonely? 14902 Are you not afraid?"
14902Are you well heeled?
14902Auntsisters? 14902 Bathe in_ alum_-water?
14902Better let him loose in the jaws,suggested Filmore the younger;"or how else shall we get from him what we must know?
14902Brother would be very angry if he were to return and find this man here, what would you advise?
14902But it is not a_ woman_?
14902Calamity Jane? 14902 Calamity Jane?"
14902Come, pilgrim, are you going to shoot?
14902D''ye carry poppin''-jays, pilgrims?
14902Did you hear that laugh a moment ago? 14902 Do you bathe your face in alum- water?"
14902Do you belong to that other crowd?
14902Do you calculate I am a_ murderer_?
14902Do you know at what place?
14902Do you know aught concerning Edward Harris?
14902Do you know her?
14902Do you lack funds, stranger?
14902Do you?
14902Does he live here with you?
14902Eh? 14902 Have we sufficient evidence to hang this devil in scarlet?"
14902Have you a glass of water handy, Cap? 14902 He do?
14902How do you mean?
14902How far do we journey in this shape?
14902How is it that you are up so early, dear?
14902How much? 14902 I opine this ar''a free country, ai n''t it, marm, more or less?
14902I suppose so: but how did you find out so much, and, also, effect my release from the savages?
14902Is there a man among you, gentlemen, who bears the name of Hugh Vansevere?
14902It is a woman, then?
14902Maybe you have got your fill, eh?
14902My God;--and his fate--?
14902Ned? 14902 Popping- jays?"
14902Shall we h''ist''em?
14902Shall we settle him, and leave him lying here, where his gang can find him?
14902She, you say?
14902She? 14902 So there are females here, eh?"
14902The day promises to be delightful, does it not?
14902The girl-- what about her?
14902The girl? 14902 The road- agents?
14902This takes your all, eh?
14902To do? 14902 Was she?"
14902Well, how do you know but what he has? 14902 Well--?"
14902Well--?
14902Were you looking for some one?
14902What about him? 14902 What are you doing here, where you were not invited?"
14902What do you think about it,General"?"
14902What good can come of your remaining here?
14902What has that to do with us?
14902What is her real name?
14902What is its money value?
14902What is the meaning of all this? 14902 What is the meaning of this disgraceful scene?"
14902What mought yer lay be ag''in me?
14902What will the Scarlet Boy do with the fair maiden of his tribe?
14902What-- is it possible? 14902 When a sharp hides cards in Chinaman fashion up his sleeve, I reckon that''s what you call cheatin'', do n''t you?"
14902Where is she; I want to see her?
14902Where to?
14902Where''s your pard, that got salted the other night?
14902Who are they?
14902Who are you?
14902Who do you mean?
14902Who told_ you_ to mix in your lip, pilgrim?
14902Who was that chap?
14902Who''n the name o''John Rodgers ar''drivin''this omnybust, pilgrim?--you or I?
14902Who''n thunder wants ye to pay fer et, ef I do?
14902Who-- Chet Diamond? 14902 Who-- the toughs?"
14902Why do you ask?
14902Will you tell me where-- where I can go in secret and take but one look at her? 14902 Yes, sir; but how can you know him?
14902Yes; but what about the girl? 14902 You are not going to fight them?"
14902You are rarely as spry, eh?
14902You love another?
14902You refer to Deadwood Dick?
14902You refuse to fight me?
14902You screamed at that?
14902Your name?
14902_ Is_ that so? 14902 _ Live_?
14902( Who ever knew a Black Hills driver to offer to press on when challenged to halt to a wild dismal place?)
14902After repeated efforts to get you in my power, I have at last been rewarded with success, eh?
14902Ai n''t ye got no aces hid up yer sleeves?"
14902And all this transformation is due to whom?
14902But how do you know aught of me?"
14902But tell me, what is your name, and were your friends all killed in the train from which you were taken?"
14902But, now that we are counting eggs, how much of the''lay''is to be mine, when this boy and girl are finished?"
14902But, tell me, why did you force me to shoot that gambler?"
14902But, why the use of yelling?
14902Consider, chief; are you not enough my friend that you can afford to give me the pale- face girl?
14902Did I kill that card- sharp?"
14902Do you know her, or aught of her?"
14902Do you know them?
14902Does she still live?"
14902Don''seem ter recognize yer unkle, eh?
14902Had the old hump- backed, bow- legged mine- locater gone crazy, or was he purposely insulting the beautiful maiden?
14902Harris was, if anything, the coolest of the three; but, after all, why should he not be?
14902Have n''t you another V?"
14902Have you friends and relatives East?"
14902Have you the least idea what brought them here?"
14902He knew that the sister of Ned Harris had a secret; was this Fearless Frank in any way connected with it, and if so, how?
14902How came they here, when the hand of Deadwood Dick guarded the only accessible entrance there was to the valley?
14902How did you get into the valley?"
14902How is it with you, lady?"
14902If Anita comes to me, what then?"
14902If Ned Harris were here would he sanction such a meeting?
14902If not why do n''t you say something?"
14902Is he as sweet, sad, and silent as yourself?"
14902Is it not so?"
14902Letters uv his name spell Ned Harris, not?"
14902Now, then, concerning the present matter; what do you propose to do?"
14902Now, what''s your name?"
14902P''arps ye kin tell who fired the popgun, a minnit ago, w''at basted my ole pard?"
14902Pace anuther pilgrim?"
14902Take it, or forever after this consider our debt of hatred canceled, and let us be--""Friends?
14902The question is: should he go unpunished in the face of all this evidence?"
14902The young road- agent responded with a nod, and then said:"The prisoners; have you them there?"
14902Think et''s all out o''ther bounds o''propriety, do ye?"
14902Unconsciously the two had ridden closer to each other; had they forgotten themselves in recalling the past?
14902Was Nix an enemy, and was some one else of his gang attacking Anita?
14902Was he blind, deaf or dumb?
14902Was it not my duty, while I had the power, to free you from the hands of those barbarians?
14902Was it possible that she had in her heart anything akin to love, for_ him_?
14902What are they?"
14902What could it mean?
14902What did it mean?
14902What is his full name, dear?"
14902What is it?"
14902What is the penalty of cheating, out here in the Hills?"
14902What is your opinion of it, Redburn?"
14902What is your view of the matter and do you believe your brother will be satisfied?"
14902What then was lacking to make her a fitting mate for any man?
14902What, then, could now be the reason of his prolonged absence?
14902When a feller kerflummuxes rite down onter a payin''streek I opine he''s goin''ter roost that till he gits reddy to vamoose, ai n''t he?"
14902Who is this young lady you have to your company-- another of your victims?"
14902Who knocked Cass Diamond down?"
14902Who wants to buy a cupped- winged sharp?"
14902Who would care if I were killed?"
14902Why do you ask?"
14902Why?"
14902Will we have to make the journey to the Hills alone?"
14902Will you marry me and become my queen?"
14902Would he want to go, when that time came?
14902Would it be best to permit a meeting between the two until he should be able to learn something more definite concerning the secret?
14902Ye call my givin''this pretty piece o''feminine gander a squar'', fatherly sort o''a hug,_ disgraceful_, do ye?
14902You have a female companion, I perceive; not your wife?"
14902You wish to remain quartered here for the present?"
14902You, and at such work as this?"
14902_ You_ heer, arter all ye''ve did to ride ther cittyzens o''Deadwood inter rebellyun, ye leetle pigminian deputy uv ther devil?
14902_ you_ here, ye infernal smooth- faced varmint?
14902again said the young miner, calmly,"do you recognize me?"
14902and the young miner stepped forward a pace;"are you with me?"
14902d''ye see that feller comin''yonder, who was preachin''from on top of the barrel, a bit ago?
14902gasped Redburn, quailing under the gaze of a cold steel tube--"what''s the row, now?"
14902he articulated,"is that you, chief?
14902he said, interrogatively, his voice heavy yet pleasant;"I suppose you desire to know what bizness we''ve got in your cornfield, eh, stranger?"
14902he yelled, in a clear, ringing voice,"will some of you step this way a moment?"
14902is n''t that rich, now?
14902is n''t that rich, now?
14902more or less-- consider''bly less of more than more uv less, eh?
14902my young eaglet; so I have you at last, have I?
14902sir, what can I do, more than to thank you a thousand times, to repay you for the great service you have rendered me?"
14902suggested one who was apparently a leading spirit;"it''s_ his_ funeral, ai n''t it?"
14902think not?
14902what are these sounds?
14902what dependence can be placed on a mule?
14902what of that?
14902yelled a rough voice from within the stage"w''at d''ye drive so fast fer?
14902yes-- Mr. Redburn, will you continue?"
18563And dad?
18563And they got away with it?
18563And why did they do this to you? 18563 Are you going to be here any length of time, Sarge?"
18563Are you in any pain, Goodell?
18563Are you ready to take a chance on getting your throat cut or being shot in the back, Sarge?
18563Beats the devil how old trails cross, eh?
18563Beautiful prospect, eh? 18563 But how are we going to help it?
18563Can you fellows keep them from going up the canyon?
18563D''yuh remember that racket in the water this mornin''? 18563 Did you find a short cut?"
18563Do n''t you suppose Bevans is waiting for him?
18563Do you reckon_ that''s_ what he meant?
18563Do you suppose somebody''s following him, that he thinks it necessary to ride clear around us?
18563Does it?
18563Does that look like a suspended sentence?
18563Gentlemen,he asked, in a soft, drawly voice that had a mighty familiar note that puzzled me,"have you a permit to have whisky in your possession?"
18563Go on to Benton, or stay here on the chance of breaking even?
18563Have you many like him? 18563 Have you seen them?"
18563He was in on this, then?
18563Hear that?
18563How about that?
18563How are we going to get through?
18563How do you know where to look?
18563How does it happen you''re traveling this way? 18563 How the dickens did he manage it?"
18563I reckon things wo n''t tighten nor nothin''in a few minutes, eh? 18563 I suppose it looks odd to you, Sarge, to see me in this rig?"
18563I suppose you know what''s in this epistle?
18563I wonder if that square- jawed devil has got a glimpse of us and is trying a lone- handed stalk himself?
18563If I had, do you suppose I''d dirty my hands on him in that sort of a scramble when I know how to use a gun? 18563 If I tell you what become of her, will you let me go?"
18563If that''s your belief, why do n''t you act accordingly?
18563Is there a loose piece of rock up there?
18563It''s time we figured on how we''re goin''t''work, eh? 18563 May I ask a favor, Colonel Allen?"
18563No message for anybody?
18563Now, what d''yuh reckon''s the meanin''uh that? 18563 Perhaps it will make my meaning clearer if I tell you what happened to Rutter, eh?
18563Say, Flood, yuh ai n''t been t''Benton an''back already, have yuh?
18563Say, have you seen anything of Frank Hicks or Paul Gregory to- day?
18563Say, old- timer, is it right about Mac losing his stripes and getting thirty days in the cooler?
18563Say, we''ll have our hands full if we bump into this bunch unexpected, eh?
18563Scattered them around the country, eh?
18563That fellow with her is the big gun here, is he?
18563That was why you were making that talk to Piegan last night, was it?
18563Then you''re not going to try and see her, and tell her about this thing yourself?
18563These men, I take it, are prisoners?
18563They''d mark the place somehow-- and are n''t those his exact words? 18563 Took wing-- how?
18563Was he?
18563We all got here, so what''s the odds? 18563 Well,"I burst out profanely,"we lose again, eh?"
18563What are you trying to get at? 18563 What did you expect of me?"
18563What do you mean?
18563What do you think you''ll do, Sarge?
18563What else?
18563What has become of that girl you took away from Baker''s freight- train yesterday morning?
18563What in thunder for?
18563What sort of cock- and- bull story is this?
18563What''s he doing off there?
18563What''s the matter?
18563What''s up?
18563What?
18563Where is the rest of the bunch?
18563Where is your authority to have this stuff?
18563Where the deuce_ did_ you go, anyway, after you stopped in that creek- bottom?
18563Where the mischief can Hicks have got to?
18563Where''s that girl, yuh swine?
18563Who issued orders for our arrest on this damn fool charge? 18563 Who told you that Hans was up North?
18563Who were they, Hans?
18563Why?
18563You did? 18563 You have a bone to pick with me, eh?"
18563You know what this is, do n''t you?
18563You mean Lyn Rowan? 18563 You''re the man that came in with MacRae, are n''t you?"
18563You''ve got past the buck trooper stage then? 18563 Yuh goin''t''lug this coyote bait t''Fort Walsh?"
18563Ai n''t that a lalla of a smell?"
18563Ai n''t they a queer- lookin''bunch?"
18563And say-- how did those fellows know I had that money and where I was carrying it?
18563And what the mischief did you do to MacRae that he quit the South next spring after I did, and straightway went to soldiering in this country?"
18563And when?"
18563And when?"
18563Are they pullin''out uh the country with the coin?
18563Bull- train missing, or whisky- runners getting too fresh, or what?
18563Burky, you''ve known me ever since I joined; do you imagine for a minute that I was in on that hold- up?
18563But seein''we ai n''t in on the reception, we might as well get under the covers, eh?
18563By the way,"he asked abruptly,"how did you manage to elude Major Lessard and get in here?"
18563Could he give a description of the men?
18563Darned if that do n''t sound queer t''me; what else could he do?
18563Did the black hurt you when he fell?"
18563Did you know them?
18563Do you or Gordon MacRae honestly believe I care a snap for their petty conventions?"
18563Do you see anything that catches your attention?"
18563Do you stand on your dignity when La Pere tells you to do certain things in a certain way?"
18563Do you?"
18563Doubt it?
18563Easy trackin''?
18563Gone to freighting in your old age?"
18563Hang it all, Mac, what the dickens chased you away from the Canadian?"
18563Hang it, ca n''t you see where I stand?
18563Have you talked this affair over with Miss Rowan?"
18563He came near going off again, but rallied, and in a second or two his lips framed a question:"Did yuh-- get''em?"
18563How come you to be pacing along this trail, Piegan?
18563How did you manage to keep out of sight-- or have you just got in?"
18563How do you feel about it, Sarge?
18563How far d''yuh reckon it is t''the mouth, Mac?"
18563How in hell can I show my face in Benton while some other fellow is packing the money La Pere trusted me to bring back?
18563How long do you suppose it will take that fat slob to get a squad of these soldier- policemen on the trail of that ten thousand?"
18563How long have you been in the force?"
18563How long since you left that country, Mac?"
18563How much wiser are you now?
18563How the deuce did you manage it?
18563I ask you what became of that girl between the time you knifed Goodell and this morning?"
18563I sometimes-- what makes you look that way?
18563Is Miss Lyn along?"
18563Is dat sho''''nuf yo'', wid yo''red coat an''all?"
18563Is it a part of your new philosophy of life to turn your back on every one that you ever cared anything for?"
18563Is it not history that the St. Louis- Benton river- boats backed water when the bison crossed the Missouri in the spring and fall?
18563Is she safe?"
18563Is there anything we can do for you?"
18563Or are they lookin''for you fellers?"
18563Piegans on the war- path?
18563Say, where_ is_ Medicine Lodge?"
18563Shall we go down and take a chance?
18563Sometimes five years will work a wonderful change in a woman; or is it that time and distance work some subtle transition in one''s recollection?
18563Then a voice cut the stillness that followed:"Here, you fool, what''s the matter with you?"
18563They were, eh?"
18563This is beginning to look like a hopeless case, is n''t it?"
18563Was it-- was my hunch right?"
18563Was n''t the dead man stretched in the shadow convincing proof of their capacity for pure devilishness?
18563What chance would you have of finding anything in a territory of that extent?"
18563What d''ye think?
18563What d''yuh think?"
18563What did you see in the Mounted Police that took your fancy?"
18563What for?
18563What is there in it?
18563What is your pleasure, gentlemen?"
18563What jarred you all loose from Texas?
18563What the dickens would become of the cow- outfits,"he challenged,"if every stockhand refused to take orders from the foreman and owners?
18563What''s the excitement, now?
18563What''s the use?
18563Where in the world did you come from?
18563Where is the profit or satisfaction in this kind of thing, for you?
18563Where''s your gold- dust?"
18563Who can explain the sixth sense that warns a night- herder of a stampede a moment before the herd jumps off the bed- ground?
18563Why could n''t the beggar stand his ground and deliver the ugly tidings himself?
18563Why did he not exercise more precaution when investigating anything so suspicious as a concealed fire?
18563Why did n''t he send a trooper to report at once instead of wasting time in going to Stony Crossing?
18563Why did n''t she stay a while longer and see if these famous preservers of the peace would n''t manage to gather in the men who killed her father?
18563Why the devil do n''t you quit the job?
18563Why this, why that?
18563Why?"
18563Will the man in the ranks get credit for taming the Northwest when his work is done?
18563Will you excuse her, for the present?
18563Will you go through?"
18563Will you send four or five of your men with me to the Writing- Stone to look for that stuff?"
18563Will you tell me what I want to know, or shall I light the fire?"
18563Would he be able to identify them?
18563Would we, if we could?
18563You and Gregory got him after he was wounded, did n''t you?
18563You did n''t hear anything about it?"
18563You remember Dick Feltz, and that old trouble about the Conway brand that dad bought a long time back?"
18563You said they''d likely camp at that spring-- Ten Mile, is n''t it?
18563You saw our last camp?
18563You tracked us?
18563You understand?"
18563You would n''t have me sneak out of this country like a whipped pup, would you?
18563You, I suppose, are ready to start?"
18563_ Sabe?_ Think it over."
18563_ Sabe?_"I did.
18563would n''t it be a stroke of business if we could trap that collection of buccaneers?
13135''Are you drunk, or crazy?'' 13135 ''Charming, is n''t it?''
13135''Do you know where the girl is?'' 13135 ''Do you really think you had ought to play this?
13135''Dumb, eh?'' 13135 ''Has he been sick?''
13135''He drummed on the table for a long time, and then says, sort of immaterial and irreverent,''You''re a pretty good mule puncher, eh?'' 13135 ''Matter?
13135''Maybe you''ve heard tell of the fight there when the Apaches were up? 13135 ''Our what?''
13135''Ow you''goin''stan''thees trip, eh? 13135 ''So you found your voice, did you?''
13135''What about the other one?'' 13135 ''What can you do?''
13135''What cause?'' 13135 ''What does this mean?''
13135''What''s the matter with him?'' 13135 ''What''s your trouble?''
13135''What?'' 13135 ''What?''
13135''Who are you?'' 13135 ''Who''s here?''
13135''Why did I write that letter?'' 13135 ''Will you ever go?''
13135''You lap it up like a man,''says I,''like a cowman-- full growed-- ever been West?'' 13135 ''You would n''t like me to take you ridin''perhaps?''
13135Ai n''t I right, Joe?
13135Are n''t you coming, too?
13135Blood disease, eh?
13135But you?
13135Ca n''t you see? 13135 D''ye mind the time''Skagway''Bennet died?
13135Did n''t hear nothing of the weddin''over at Los Huecos, did ye?
13135Did you ever see a six- day race? 13135 Do n''t you never read the papers?"
13135God, she was grand-- but him? 13135 Got another outfit here, have n''t you?"
13135Great God, are you a murderer? 13135 He''s badly frozen,"whispered Captain,"can we save him?"
13135Hello, Annie,says I, clawing the ice out of my whiskers;"finding plenty of claims down here to relocate?"
13135How can we, with the place guarded?
13135How far is it to the Crooked River Road House?
13135I take advantage of my skirts, do I? 13135 I''ve got it?
13135Is it true that no man has ever reached them?
13135Jesse one man, hey? 13135 Know her, Miss?
13135Like it, do ye?
13135Madam,says I, and somehow the word did n''t seem out of place any more--"Madam, why do you want to avoid this party?"
13135Oh, ai n''t ye?
13135Quit that talk, will you?
13135Reach''em? 13135 Right of sanctuary, eh?
13135Save''em?
13135Shoot, why do n''t you, and end it? 13135 That was the fall of the Fryin''Pan strike-- do you mind it?
13135That''s why you left the Indian there when we came away, eh? 13135 Then, Morrow resumes,''You''ll be in Denver this fall, Struthers, eh?
13135They shall be in h---- before I help them, the pigs, but you-- ah, you have been my friends, yes?
13135Two trips, eh?
13135Vat''s the mattaire? 13135 Vat''s the mattaire?"
13135Was I right in supposin''that something amused you?
13135Wat''s the mattaire?
13135We must make it to- morrow or go hungry, eh? 13135 What d''ye say, Klusky?"
13135What do you mean?
13135What does it mean, George?
13135What is he doing there?
13135What name? 13135 What''d I tell you?
13135What''d you do?
13135What''s a friend? 13135 What''s that?
13135What''s that?
13135What''s the use of buttin''in where ye ai n''t wanted? 13135 What''s up?"
13135Where are your windows and ventilators?
13135Where is George?''
13135Who is it?
13135Who is she?
13135Who says so?
13135Who will go with me? 13135 Whose goin''to save''em?
13135Why did n''t ye tell me?
13135Why did you do that?
13135Will this stove burn green willow tops?
13135Would n''t that rope ye? 13135 You know her, do n''t you?"
13135You say you have grub cached at the old Indian hut on the Good Hope?
13135You von''t leave me, Mistaire Captain? 13135 You''ve got the nerve, George, and you''ll go with me, wo n''t you?"
13135''Are you married, pardner?''
13135''Collins what d''ye say if we tow the"Detroit"out?
13135''Do ye want her now?''
13135''Do you know who you''re drinkin''with this time, hey?''
13135''How can I do it?''
13135''What do you mean by breaking into my office?
13135''What does it take to liquidate an assault on a labour leader?''
13135--"In this storm?"
13135Ai n''t ever seen her?
13135Ai n''t that a pleasin''conceit?
13135Ai n''t that right?"
13135Ai n''t there half a man among you?"
13135Are we in time for supper?
13135Are you plumb daffy?
13135Are you sure you do n''t need more help gettin''him home?
13135As we went in, he continued:"You say you had a hard time gettin''your prisoner?
13135Badrich?''
13135Big?
13135But how shall it be, eh?
13135But that''s the worst you can say, is n''t it?
13135But why could n''t he die?
13135Ca n''t you see we''re freezing?"
13135Can you run an engine?
13135Captain''s expression remained unchanged and, gradually slackening his grip, the sailor roughly inquired:"Where''d you come from?"
13135Cold?
13135Come, now, what is the matter?''
13135Cool off-- see?"
13135Do you mean to say that you let those poor devils die like rats while you had potatoes in your cabin, fresh ones?
13135Does it occur to you how we''re going to get out?"
13135Ever have your mother talk to you about duty?
13135Finally she says, kind of slow and quiet:"Who knows where the''Cut- off''starts?"
13135Go to her?
13135Good thing for make fire queeck, eh?"
13135Guess ye do n''t know who I am, do ye?
13135Has it had its pap to- night?
13135He took in the line up at a sweep of his lamps:"''Any of you gentlemen got ideas on the subject?''
13135He''s a cripple now, eh?"
13135He''s a squaw- man and sort of a bully-- see?
13135Her silence hurt him the worst, of course; but what could he do?
13135Hey?
13135Him that''s been elected on purpose to round up the Tremper gang, hey?
13135How are mine?"
13135How''s my gums look tonight?"
13135How''s that?"
13135I give''em good advice, an''what''d I get?
13135I wonder who they are?"
13135I''ll bet you''re one of them eddicated dudes, too, ai n''t you?
13135I''m a square woman-- you know I am, do n''t you, boys?"
13135I''m the boss carpenter of the Arctic and I own this camp; do n''t I, Slim?
13135I''m--""Who is this man, Ross?"
13135I''spose you''re going to jump some of our ground, hey?
13135I''ve worked like a man, suffered like a man--""Why do n''t ye''lose like a man?"
13135If she do n''t like some other feller better while you''re gone, what''re you scared about?''
13135If we had n''t lost our grub when the whale- boat upset, eh?
13135It''s Father Orloff, is it?
13135It''s help ye want, is it?
13135Look at these, and you dare to ask me why I left him?''
13135Martin?''
13135Me?"
13135Mebbe you hear''bout Pierre''Feroce''sometime, eh?"
13135Noting his gravity, George questioned:"Well, how''s Menard?"
13135Now, what had he been doing to get into such a fix?
13135Please you von''t go avay?"
13135See''i m get red?"
13135Shall I call the police?''
13135She stood blinking at us, coming from the bright light outside, as cute as a new faro box-- then:"Can you tell me where Mrs. Bradshaw lives?
13135She''ll take the heducate man for stan''the col'', eh?
13135She''s comin''on-- what''s the matter, Annie-- you ai n''t sore at me effeminatin''you by the gentle name of female, are you?"
13135So these were the Tremper boys, eh?
13135So you''re the fellow she gave up her art for?
13135Strutting to the new- comer, he glared insolently up into his smiling face,"What are ye laughin''at, ye shavetail?"
13135THE COLONEL AND THE HORSE- THIEF Those marks on my arm?
13135Takin''chances?
13135The government was aimin''to start a post there last fall, was n''t it?
13135This is my camp-- see?
13135Up against it?
13135Vat have I got?"
13135Vy do you make like that, eh?
13135What are you doing?
13135What are you talking about?
13135What d''ye think of that idea, fellers?
13135What do ye want?''
13135What in---- ails ye?"
13135What made him hang on so?
13135What made him rouse one with his awful laughter?
13135What name, Dutch?
13135What name?"
13135What would you do?''
13135What''d that daffy doctor do?
13135What''s he wanted for?"
13135What''s that got to do with it?
13135What''s that?"
13135What''s the matter here?"
13135What?
13135Who are you, you mangy''malamoot,''to criticise a lady?
13135Who told you all that?''
13135Who was it?
13135Who''d a thought them durned Indians was dishonest enough fer a trick like that?"
13135Who''s his antagonist?"
13135Who''s your prisoner?"
13135Whose weddin''?"
13135Why could n''t you fight me alone, in the daylight, like a man?"
13135Why did n''t I let the kid kill him?''
13135Why did n''t the Jew die so he could flee back?
13135Will he fight?
13135Will he fight?
13135Ye can get them any place, but where can ye find another enemy like that man?"
13135Yes?
13135You heard what he said, did n''t ye?
13135You know how an Indian loves to run horses?
13135You might substitute another face on my shoulders; that can be done, ca n''t it?''
13135You wo n''t back out, eh?''"
13135You''re freezin''eh?
13135You''re too high- toned to drink with us, are you?
13135eh?''
13135says I,"an''what''s she doin''out here on the trail?"
13135what''re you goin''to do now you''re here?"
13670A butler?
13670About how many miles?
13670Ai n''t they a couple uh beauts? 13670 Ai n''t yuh getting tired feelings kinda unseasonable in the day?"
13670Ai n''t yuh proud?
13670And grub, that is-- Yes?
13670And he''s a bad one, is he?
13670Any you fellows got money yuh want to put up on this deal?
13670Are you crazy, man?
13670Are you sure of what the horse will do?
13670Are yuh so new to the country that it''s anything of a treat?
13670Aw, ca n''t yuh cook something that do n''t take so many eggs?
13670Aw, yuh locoed old fool, shut up, ca n''t yuh, a minute?
13670Aw, yuh made''em to be eat, did n''t yuh?
13670Battlement? 13670 Because of it I could not prepare the floating island-- and without the dessert I have not the heart to prepare the dinner, yes?
13670But, man alive, why have n''t you made use of a discovery like that?
13670Can yuh?
13670Come on down and take a swim, why do n''t you?
13670Did n''t you recognize him as being the murderer?
13670Did n''t yuh kinda mistake that blue roan for his twin brother, Pardner? 13670 Did the fog roll down and hide the horrible sight?"
13670Did you ever ride him?
13670Did you see it?
13670Did yuh git him?
13670Did yuh hear what Patsy said, by cripes, when he was loading up the chuck- wagon at the store? 13670 Do n''t he lie natural?"
13670Do n''t you realize what a thing like that means?
13670Do they--_drink_?
13670Do you know that roan?
13670Do you live near here?
13670Do you mean that he would deliberately try to deceive you into believing he was hurt, when he was n''t?
13670Do you want the whole outfit to turn out?
13670Do? 13670 Father, how can you think it''s funny?"
13670Finding them strays was n''t important, I s''pose?
13670Glory?
13670Going up against the rough ones?
13670Gone to bed?
13670Green,said his employer steadily,"_ was_ there such a place?"
13670Grub it is the supply of provision fich I must obtain for camping, yes? 13670 Happy, how rich do_ you_ want to get off me?"
13670Has it got so you must fight an old man like that?
13670How about it, Sandy? 13670 How comes it you''re riding the pinnacles over here?"
13670How in hell do_ I_ know?
13670How many rooms, say?
13670How''s your back? 13670 I am to have_ carte blanche_, yes?"
13670I''ll bet yuh did n''t do a thing to the pie when yuh did find it?
13670If that was the case, would n''t he be apt to hike out after him and try and get back his stuff? 13670 Is he any worse than Glory, when Glory is feeling peevish?"
13670Is it that you come here to give the orders? 13670 Is that toy cannon loaded, Happy?"
13670It is that I am no more permitted the privilege of preparing the food for fich I have the judgment, yes?
13670It is that I am no more the chef to be obeyed by my servant?
13670It is the omelet fich you furnish, yes? 13670 Looking for a snap?"
13670My dear fellow, do you realize what it is that statement might seem to imply?
13670No- o--"Say, is it anywheres near that prehistoric castle you found once?
13670Now, how the mischief do we get down?
13670Say, Jakie,he began before he was inside,"ai n''t there time enough to boil a pot uh beans if I make yuh a good fire?
13670Say, did any of you fellows ever eat a ripe olive?
13670Say, did yuh ever see a star- fish? 13670 Say, what we got in camp?"
13670Seen a garter snake?
13670Sick?
13670Such a_ beau_tiful day, is n''t it? 13670 That so?
13670That your rope, Happy? 13670 The horses, they are of the vivacious temperament, yes?"
13670Think you''re going to ball up the eating uh the whole outfit whilst you stand around acting haughty? 13670 Trying to bust the furniture?"
13670Two o''clock, did she say?
13670Was n''t he hurt?
13670Was that the reason you throwed your horse down and got hurt, that morning?
13670Well, are yuh coming or ai n''t yuh?
13670What about the-- whatever it was you started to tell me?
13670What are yuh feeding''em?
13670What did you do it for, Green?
13670What did yuh turn tail for? 13670 What difference does it make whether we eat''em now or two hours from now?"
13670What do yuh know about that?
13670What do yuh want us to do about it?
13670What girl?
13670What good do yuh think you''re doing, just standing around?
13670What the dickens are yuh roosting around here for? 13670 What trick''s he up to now?"
13670What were the relics of pottery like?
13670What''ll yuh bet I do n''t know that hoss from a yearling colt?
13670What''s eating yuh, Happy?
13670What''s the matter, Cadwolloper?
13670Where did yuh pick his nibs? 13670 Who''s there- e?"
13670Why should I be? 13670 Why?
13670Why?
13670You out here in this great, wide, free land, with the free winds ever blowing and the clouds--"Will you pass the butter, please?
13670You''re a cowboy, are n''t you?
13670You_ ca n''t guess_?
13670Yuh ai n''t lost any money yet, have yuh?
13670Yuh going to blat around and let them Diamond Gs give yuh the laugh? 13670 Yuh mean last night, do n''t yuh?"
13670Yuh sure made a good job of it, did n''t yuh?
13670_ Hope_? 13670 A girl at his elbow was asking the other:What''n the world''s become of Mary Johnson?
13670A little cowardice would count, for instance, because it would show that the man would fail at the test; but a little lie?
13670A murder in the Bad- lands?"
13670Ai n''t he a little bit new and shiny?"
13670Ai n''t your leg well enough to tackle it, Pink?"
13670All?
13670Also, why was she stopping here with Take- Notice Johnson, away off from everybody?
13670And the juvenile hen-- yes?"
13670And wouldn''t--""How much money did this friend uh yours have?"
13670And--""About how large was the castle?"
13670Are n''t yuh going to earn that hundred dollars?"
13670Are there any more at home like you?"
13670But do yuh know what happened?
13670But see, one brief arrival in the small town would quickly remedy, yes?
13670By the way, what''s your first name?"
13670Ca n''t we get him into the shade?
13670Can you guess?"
13670Did n''t she consider him a soul?
13670Did you say you know them?"
13670Did you, Pink?"
13670Do n''t get us all worked up over it, Andy; what''s it going to be this time?
13670Do n''t you do it with one hand?
13670Do n''t you think I''m very--_brave_?"
13670Do n''t yuh worry none about Andy Green; why, man, do yuh reckon any horse- critter could break_ his_ leg-- a rider like him?
13670Do we start at six, Uncle Peter?"
13670Do you think yuh could?"
13670Does it-- are yuh homesick, ever?"
13670Else why did she rush off home like that, a good month before she had intended to go?
13670Ever ride in Wyoming?"
13670French?"
13670Had they not seen Andy ride, easily and often?
13670Happy, and procure other eggs fich you will place unbroken in my waiting hands, yes?"
13670Happy,"he would smile,"I am agreeable to place the confidence in your so gracious person that you prepare the potatoes, yes?
13670How about it, Slim?"
13670How do you expect to keep pies around this camp when yuh go right on making such good ones?
13670How many were there, did yuh say?"
13670If Andy could not ride the blue roan in their own corral, how was he to ride that same blue roan in Great Falls?
13670If everybody, he told them, believed that he would win, where would be the fun of riding and showing them?
13670Is he goin t''ride for that purse?
13670Is it Green, here, that knows the horse and what he''ll do?
13670Is it that you_ insult_?"
13670Is the Flying U open for good men and true?"
13670Is-- er-- Mr. Johnson at home?"
13670It did n''t strike me at the time, but that''s kinda funny, do n''t yuh think?"
13670It had loopholes, like the pictures of castles, and a--""Battlement?"
13670It is that we return with haste that I may buy more of the several articles for fich I require?"
13670Jakie''s servant, was he?
13670Maybe yuh know your own business best-- but did n''t yuh kinda mistake him for Pardner?
13670Now, will yuh let up that yelling and act white, or must I pound some p''liteness into yuh?
13670Now, you amble along to town and load up with the best there is-- huh?"
13670On the dead, Andy, did yuh fall off deliberate?"
13670One''s enough, ai n''t it?"
13670Or did n''t she know any better?
13670Pretty dark, is n''t it?
13670Supper ready?"
13670Sure it ai n''t your neck, now?
13670Then:"What''s the chance for a job, up your way?
13670They shall exclaim and partake joyously, is it not?
13670Think I was shipped in on the last train?
13670Think you''ll be able to ride by the time Skeeker is able to travel?"
13670Was it possible that they had recognized him?
13670Was n''t it, Andy?"
13670Was they that petulant all the way?"
13670We did n''t ask him no questions, did we?
13670Weary, have_ you_ gone against our man?"
13670Were yuh surprised to see me here?"
13670What had come over Jakie, to act like this?
13670What is he, do you thing?
13670What is there to do, except go down there and see?
13670What kind of easy marks do yuh think we are?"
13670What was the matter with Patsy?
13670What was the use, since they could not see twenty yards?
13670What would you think, I wonder, of their little forty acre farms?"
13670What''s happened?"
13670What''s the use?"
13670When did you come?"
13670Where did you learn that?
13670Where''s a cigarette?"
13670Where''s he hurt, Cadwolloper?"
13670Who had put him on the fight like that?
13670Why ca n''t we start at once-- in the morning?
13670Why did n''t yuh have it out with him?"
13670Why do n''t yuh go on out to camp where yuh belong?
13670Why, that hoss throwed Buckskin Jimmy clean out of a corral-- Did yuh ever see Buckskin Jimmy ride?
13670Will you ride him this evening, so I can size him up for that contest?"
13670Wo n''t you take me where they are and let me meet my boys?
13670Wonder what struck her so sudden?"
13670Would you mind if I smoked a cigarette?"
13670Yes?
13670Yes?
13670Yes?"
13670Yes?"
13670You had a kinda animated discussion over something, did n''t yuh?"
13670You''re sure of him, are you, Green?"
13670Yuh did n''t see anything of a wild man, down next the river, did yuh?"
13670Yuh_ hear_ me?"
13670_ Was_ she just joshing?
13670did n''t you find out anything about it afterwards?
13670just a harmless sort of lie that was only a"josh"and was taken as such by one''s fellows?
13670what wild man?"
13670what''s the matter with_ you_, Blink?"
18856A dozen?
18856And not as good as it always was?
18856And what about him?
18856And what about the homestead laws?
18856And what effect would that have?
18856And what swallowed''em up?
18856And why is it dead to- day?
18856And why not?
18856And why should I look for him?
18856And why?
18856Any sign?
18856Are you looking for Morrow?
18856Are you running the Three Bar?
18856Are you watching Bentley?
18856Asleep, Billie?
18856At least not on my range; so what difference will it make to me? 18856 Billie, do n''t you think it''s about time you were finding out what Judge Colton wants?"
18856Billie, why do n''t you get out of a game where everything is crooked-- a game of who can steal the most and every man for himself?
18856But can we?
18856But how could his leaving those calves behind benefit Slade?
18856But how did you know?
18856But how would it benefit Slade?
18856But if your theory had been wrong?
18856But now----"But now that I''ve come to see you as a woman it''s different?
18856But what can the Three Bar do against Slade until those marshals come?
18856But why did n''t they let us know?
18856But why?
18856Ca n''t a man speak his mind?
18856Ca n''t the sheriff clean them out of there?
18856Ca n''t we prove anything on Slade-- do anything to stop him?
18856Cal, you''re not hurt?
18856Cal-- how come?
18856Can you picture that covered with a stand of alfalfa hay?
18856Can you prove this on Slade?
18856Can you tell me that?
18856Could you spare me about ten minutes some time to- day?
18856Did they lose?
18856Did you break them like that?
18856Did you gather all the information you was prospecting for?
18856Did you have it all planned before?
18856Did you hold the run?
18856Do n''t you know that the albino will kill you for that?
18856Do n''t you suppose that the owner of every one of those brands knows that?
18856Do you have a hand in it?
18856Do you know how to throw a circle?
18856Do you know who he is?
18856Do you mean to tell me you did n''t see those two slickers flapping out in front?
18856Do you mind if I gather a few Three Bar colts round here close and break out my own string before they get back?
18856Do you run a brand of your own-- so''s you''d stand to lose a dollar if every foot of range was fenced?
18856Do you think Slade is at the bottom of the Three Bar losses every year?
18856Does Cal know?
18856During the time you spent prowling the hills did you ever come across those men?
18856Everything running smooth?
18856Has it been on your mind-- what I was telling you a few nights back, about how much I was loving you?
18856Have any of the boys mentioned my name to you?
18856Have you come back for keeps to help me make the Three Bar the best outfit in three States? 18856 He figured it out himself, who else?
18856How are things breaking this season, Billie?
18856How could it benefit Harper?
18856How could you be sure of that?
18856How did you get word to them all?
18856How did you know?
18856How do you know?
18856How is Lanky?
18856How long will it take to get things moving after we get back?
18856How long will we be gone?
18856How many head have you got?
18856How many of you fellows are pussy- footing round out here?
18856How many reps do you trade?
18856How many times have I told you to knock?
18856How much evidence do you need?
18856How''ll you raise the money to pay that many at once?
18856How''s that?
18856How''s the Three Bar showing up this spring?
18856How?
18856How?
18856I reckon that''ll be Blue?
18856I''d thought some of spending two years here under some other name-- but perhaps it''s better to come out in the open-- don''t you think?
18856I''ll put in application through you?
18856Instead of tangling it up in this round- about way?
18856Instead of trying to remedy it?
18856Is n''t that a hell of a way for a man to die?
18856Is that answer enough?
18856Is that what you mean?
18856Is there any one restricting my range?
18856Is there any rubbish round the house you''d like to have throwed out and piled in a dry gulch somewheres out of sight?
18856Like that? 18856 Me?"
18856Miss Warren?
18856Morrow-- who''s he?
18856Pay roll?
18856Settlement with who?
18856Settlement?
18856Shall I tell you how?
18856Since you''ve finally decided to work, how does it happen that you choose the Three Bar?
18856So how can I prove he does? 18856 So how could you know?"
18856So why should I?
18856So you think a man as big as Slade is stupid enough to try his hand at brand- blotting on all sides at once?
18856Them? 18856 Then how can we ever prove anything on Slade?"
18856Then how will you ever convict one?
18856Then what does it all amount to?
18856Then what''s the object of this bounty?
18856Then what?
18856Then what?
18856Then why all those signs?
18856Then why did you come?
18856Then you''re doing the same?
18856Well, have you sized it all up?
18856Well?
18856What are the chances of my riding for the Three Bar?
18856What are you trying to get at now?
18856What are you two doing up here?
18856What can Deane, a half- baked boy, give you?
18856What can you do?
18856What charge?
18856What convinces you of that?
18856What did Alden want?
18856What do you mean by that?
18856What do you mean?
18856What do you say, Billie? 18856 What do you want with me?"
18856What if either or both of us should have refused to abide by the terms?
18856What is it, Pet?
18856What is it?
18856What possible difference would that make to a man like him?
18856What then?
18856What then?
18856What was the reason for your first idea-- of coming here under another name?
18856What''s Bentley doing there?
18856What''s a- fretting you?
18856What''s in the wind?
18856What''s the chance for scraps?
18856What''s the matter with my credit?
18856What''s the object of all this conversation?
18856What''s this rumor about your farming the Three Bar?
18856Where are we going?
18856Where does that brand run?
18856Who is the man dealing now?
18856Who summoned you in here?
18856Who wants to get a thousand plastered on his scalp? 18856 Who was it?"
18856Who was the man that overlooked those cows?
18856Who was the pair out ahead?
18856Who worked that draw?
18856Who?
18856Why are you so dead set on making a squatter outfit of the Three Bar? 18856 Why ca n''t you go on liking me the way I am, instead of making me over?"
18856Why did he do that for me? 18856 Why do n''t you ever come up and visit us?
18856Why do n''t you fold your hands and give up your business the first thing that goes wrong?
18856Why else would Harris ride in at night like this unless in answer to Slade''s threat to shoot him down on sight? 18856 Why is Harper afraid of you?"
18856Why not let him keep it up?
18856Why should you have permits right in the back yard of the Three Bar with all the rest of the hills open to you? 18856 Why would n''t that apply to him as well?"
18856Why?
18856Why?
18856Will they find a place to settle?
18856Would you?
18856You had your chance to prove it by going away,she said,"and refused; so why bring it up again?
18856You looking for a job?
18856You surely did n''t think I was trying to boost myself into the foreman''s job for keeps?
18856And later buy him out?
18856And what if a few of them did surmise?
18856Are you always going to keep on disliking me?"
18856Are you going to stand for his putting a price on every man he happens to dislike?"
18856But now do you think it''s you I want-- or the little old Three Bar?"
18856Did it ever strike you that if the truth were known it might also be uncomfortable for you?"
18856Do I get that quart?"
18856Do n''t that beat hell?"
18856Do n''t you know the nesters will flock in here and cut the range all up as soon as they see a chance?"
18856Do n''t you see?
18856Do you hear that, Lang?"
18856Do you remember what Al Moody did up on the Gallatin and what old Con Ristine sprung on the Nations Trail?
18856Do you think I''ll let them crowd me out?
18856Do you want me to pick Morrow up?"
18856Do you want the world?"
18856Harris been commenting about the little dead- line we''ve drawn on you?"
18856How can you go in on a kidnapping deal?"
18856How much do you want?"
18856How soon will this visit start-- and how long will it last?"
18856Now just whoever do you surmise will pay up for you?"
18856See?
18856Seen Lang in the last few days?"
18856Well, well-- now what do you think of that?"
18856What can we prove wrong with that?
18856What do you say-- shall we call it hands off between the Three Bar and you?"
18856What do you want with me?"
18856What''s the use of going on like this?"
18856When are you coming home with me, Billie?"
18856Where would the difference be then?"
18856Who is he, anyhow?"
18856Who''s going to check Slade up?
18856Why do n''t you have men file on all those sites?"
18856Why does n''t some man that is a man kill that albino fiend and all his whelps and rid the country of his breed?
18856Why else?"
18856Why should they?
18856he accused;"why would n''t you tell?"
14456And I ai n''t bellering, am I?
14456And do n''t you remember turning around and saying to me:''I''m a poor married man, but you ca n''t notice the scar,''or something like that?
14456And the reward for reaching the top--"Is there supposed to be a reward?
14456And what if I ai n''t?
14456And what''s eating you, Rock?
14456And where''s Dick?
14456And you tell me you do n''t need any help?
14456And-- don''t you ever-- think of me?
14456Are you any good at all in the kitchen, Jim?
14456Are you sure of that?
14456Are you sure?
14456Bald pinnacle? 14456 Booze?
14456Can I go?
14456Cat been licking the butter again?
14456Could I?
14456Could you spot the preacher, do you reckon?
14456Dick says--"Oh, do you believe everything Dick says? 14456 Dick told you about the bottles in the haystack, did he?"
14456Did I tell her so myself, or did I just let it go that way?
14456Did I? 14456 Did anybody get married last night?"
14456Did you happen to hear who she was?
14456Did you want me for something?
14456Do n''t you know Dick''s supposed to be abso- lute- ly unlickable?
14456Do n''t you know anything about her at all-- where she came from-- and why, and where she went?
14456Do n''t you know, even, why she came and glommed onto me like that?
14456Do n''t you suppose he could keep putting in water?
14456Do n''t you want one?
14456Do what for?
14456Do you know where Mr. Campbell is, Dick?
14456Do you suppose he''s drunk?
14456Do you want me for anything, Dick?
14456Do you want more bread and butter?
14456Do you want tea, Phenie?--or would you rather have chocolate to- day? 14456 Do yuh know who-- er-- what hen laid''em there?"
14456Far as I know, she''s all right--"What I want to know,Ford broke in, impatient of condolence when he needed facts,"is, who_ is_ she?
14456Feel as rocky as you look?
14456Going to pass me foreman''s privilege-- to hire and fire?
14456Has the swelling gone out of his eyes?
14456Have you got any left?
14456He surely has n''t tried to mix in here, and meddle with you?
14456Hello, old sport-- how you comin''?
14456How about rescuing a lady?
14456How can you expect the child to learn good English, when you talk to him like that? 14456 How do you know he has conquered?
14456How do you know?
14456How?
14456Hunh?
14456Hunh?
14456Hunh?
14456I ai n''t holdin''any grudge, am I? 14456 I beg your pardon?
14456I fancy it would be asking too great a favor to suggest that you catch my horse for me?
14456I have n''t made any cast- iron promise--"Did I ask you to make any?
14456I-- did you happen to see-- my-- the lady I married?
14456Ida-- or was it Jenny? 14456 If I do n''t drink it; what difference does it make who has it?"
14456Is he going up to the house-- honest?
14456Is it fun to stand and watch a man-- What do you want, anyway? 14456 Is it-- pretty steep?"
14456It''s a terrible storm, is n''t it? 14456 Left anything behind?"
14456Look for comfort in that jug, I suppose you mean?
14456Matter, Mose?
14456Now what''n hell did I do that for?
14456Oh, where''s Chester?
14456Pardon me; is this a Methodist experience meeting?
14456Preacher?
14456Say, what laid old Mose out so nice?
14456Smoke- house?
14456So you are going to climb the-- Big Hill, are you?
14456Sober enough to tend to business; why?
14456The preacher?
14456The skinned place?
14456They''ll just pick up your chair, and pack chair and all in, and set you down as ee- asy-- do you want to eat out there with us?
14456Tried to git me in bad, did yuh? 14456 Turn back with two months''wages burning up my inside pocket?
14456Well, ai n''t that reason enough?
14456Well, what about it? 14456 Well, what do you know about that?"
14456Well, what do you want?
14456Well, where is he, then?
14456Well, you turn yourself loose in here, will you? 14456 Well-- I got it, did n''t I?"
14456Well?
14456What can I talk about, then? 14456 What did you come in here for?"
14456What did you want to marry him for? 14456 What do you want of it?"
14456What does he keep that jug in the closet for? 14456 What else could I do, when you asked?"
14456What hill you going to climb, Ford?
14456What is it?
14456What is this, anyway?
14456What made you send for it? 14456 What made you want to help?
14456What makes you think I''m drunk?
14456What was her name-- do you know?
14456What you doing, Bill-- building a chicken house?
14456What''d I lick him for?
14456What''s disslepointed?
14456What''s eating you, Ford?
14456What''s that cookin''--coffee, or sheep- dip?
14456What''s the matter with me, anyway?
14456What''s the reward for-- climbing hills, for instance?
14456What? 14456 When you''ve been--""Oh, for mercy''s sake, do you think they''re all alike?"
14456Where did you hear that, Bud?
14456Where is Mr. Campbell, please?
14456Where is the horse?
14456Where?
14456Which stack was it? 14456 Whither wendest thou?"
14456Who put this head on me, Sandy?
14456Who was he, do you know?
14456Who was the lady, Sandy?
14456Who''d I lick, Sandy?
14456Why do you want to know?
14456Why, yes-- what makes you ask that? 14456 Why?
14456Will you give it to me?
14456Will you let me go?
14456Working on a bet, or what?
14456Yeah?
14456Yes-- how many-- eggs?
14456Yes-- you always use bread for stuffing, do n''t you? 14456 Yes?
14456You ai n''t married yourself, I suppose? 14456 You darned chump, what''s eggs in a case like this?"
14456You do n''t want it now, do you?
14456Ai n''t I?"
14456And Ford had n''t gone to drink--""Will you hush?"
14456And have you noticed his eyes?
14456And how many bottles?"
14456And if you do n''t drink any of it, why wo n''t you let me have it?"
14456And if you gave it to me, you would n''t have to fight the temptation--""Why would n''t I?
14456And the way he has conquered--?"
14456And then, dryly:"Grandmother just died?"
14456And what did I do it for?"
14456And what did I go and marry her for?"
14456And what made me marry her?"
14456And what would you do, please?"
14456And when he still did not speak, she asked:"Do you know how far it is to the nearest ranch?"
14456Are you my wife?"
14456Buddy is so fond of it and--""Is that man here yet?"
14456But I could n''t see what I could do about it, and you didn''t--""Say, what about this Frank Cameron, anyway?"
14456But, in the words of the dead, immortal Shakespeare,''What''s eating you?''
14456CHAPTER VII The Foreman of the Double Cross"Hell- o, Ford, where the blazes did you drop down from?"
14456Campbell?"
14456Did you lick him easy?
14456Did you paste him one in the jaw?"
14456Did you say anything to the boys?"
14456Did you skin your face and blacken your eye, Mr. Campbell, when you tried to jump that washout?"
14456Do n''t give me away, will you?
14456Er-- hope everything is all right at the house?"
14456Ford''s a fine fellow, do n''t you think?"
14456Got any ducks out there you want led to water?"
14456Had your dinner?"
14456Have you ever observed the fact that many of life''s grimmest battles and deepest tragedies scarce ripple the surface of trivial things?
14456Have you got any particular system, or is it just a gift?"
14456Have you tried him yet, Ford?"
14456He could tell-- he must have some record of it; but would he?"
14456He must be--""But how could he?"
14456He told dad--""Robert Chester Mason, do you want me to get the hairbrush?"
14456He''s sure a deliberate kind of a cuss, is n''t he?
14456How are you, anyway?"
14456How did you know I would n''t take it?
14456How much is it?"
14456How soon will you want to start?"
14456I heard him tell Jim Felton she''s his steady, all right-- and you are his girl, ai n''t you, Jo?"
14456I thought you knew enough-- you punched cows for the Circle for four or five years, did n''t you?
14456I wonder if she did really say she wished I''d killed Dick?
14456I''d hate to be married to''em-- wouldn''t you, Ford?"
14456I''m gittin''tired, by hokey--""What-- did I lick you again, Bill?"
14456I''ve got Mose Freeman cooking for me; you know Mose, do n''t you?
14456If he were free, he was wondering between spells of temptation, would it do any good?
14456If just a slight touch of matrimony acts like that with a man, what can the real thing be like?
14456Indeed, it was Dick''s easy- natured,"Ah, let the kid go, why do n''t you?"
14456Is there anything in particular you''d like to do to me?"
14456Is your swallower out of kilter?
14456Now, ai n''t that a darned shame?"
14456Oh-- it''s Hooligan, is it?
14456On the square now-- what''s she like?
14456Or just bumps?"
14456Say it, why do n''t you?"
14456Say, did you lick Dick?
14456Sometimes I''d write a letter myself, and pretend it was from him, and read it to her; her eyes were bad, so it was easy--""Where was this Frank?"
14456That you, Sandy?"
14456The lower fence I''ll ride, this afternoon; did you get clear around the Pinnacle field?"
14456Then he said:"Say, you kinda played your hand face down, did n''t you, Ches, when you wrote and asked me to come out here and take charge?
14456Thought you''d git me fired, hey?"
14456Was n''t it for kissin''the bride?"
14456Were you sober, night before last?"
14456What I want to know is who''s the lady?
14456What are you crying about-- if you do n''t need any help?"
14456What do I care, anyway?"
14456What do you mean, anyway?"
14456What if Mrs. Kate declined to believe that Dick had put that jug of whisky in the kitchen, and had afterward given it to Ford?
14456What''n thunder you want to carry on like you did last night, for?
14456What''s the matter with going up to Garbin and looking up the record?
14456Where''s she at now?"
14456Why do n''t you shave''em off with dad''s razor?
14456Why, you-- don''t you know I''ve got the name of being a drunkard, and a-- a bad actor all around?
14456Wo n''t we?"
14456Wo n''t you let me take it?"
14456Wonder what she''ll think when she sees that jug do n''t go down any?
14456Would Josephine care?
14456You do n''t care, do you?
14456You got another jug?"
14456You will, wo n''t you?"
1596Ai n''t it in your blood?
1596Ai n''t that right, Burke?
1596Ai n''t you goin''to hang him?
1596Ai n''t you some late?
1596And have you married and raised all those children you were telling me about?
1596And that''s all you know of what became of him?
1596And that''s why you are here to- night--"You asked the Colonel to invite me?
1596And you''ll promise not to play roulette in Dawson ever again?
1596And you''ll tell us your system?
1596Any other achievements?
1596Are n''t we ever going to get started?
1596Are you Mister Sprague''s new man?
1596Are you going to tackle it?
1596Are you playing a system?
1596But do n''t you ever get one of them streaky feelin''s that all you got to do is put your money down an''pick a winner?
1596But if it''s a dream?
1596But the system?
1596But what are you going to do?
1596But what''s the use?
1596But why does n''t everybody know?
1596Ca n''t we do something?
1596Ca n''t you keep still?
1596Can you swim, Smoke?
1596Comin''?
1596Did they find anything?
1596Did you see my smoke?
1596Did you see that man with the girl?
1596Do you know what I''m going to do?
1596Do you mind if I lead?
1596Do you mind removing that sack from my foot?
1596Do you want another gold- mine?
1596Do you, Stine? 1596 Enjoyed your vacation?"
1596Find anything?
1596Goin''to take the dogs?
1596Going to Lake Linderman with it, old man?
1596Got enough?
1596He was sure goin''some, eh?
1596Honest?
1596How about the agreement?
1596How are your feet?
1596How do you know where he went?
1596How long since we started up the creek?
1596How many are ahead?
1596How many chechaquos are there behind?
1596How much you make that one pack?
1596How would you go about it?
1596How''ll you get your blamed boat to Dawson? 1596 I had to play it, did n''t I, in order to find out?"
1596I hope you do n''t object?
1596I''ve got a hunch right now--Shorty''s eyes sparkled as he cried eagerly:"What is it?
1596It''s on the home stretch the dark horse is to show up its classy form, eh?
1596Know who he is?
1596Now, what have you got to say for yourself, Stranger, before I shoot you dead?
1596Or might all them be sleep- walkers?
1596Or-- or wallop me?
1596Out late?
1596Pictures that wo n''t sell? 1596 Primrose path, eh?"
1596Say, Breck, have they opened up the meat- packs my dogs carried?
1596Say, Breck, how did you ever fall in with such a God- forsaken bunch?
1596Scared of his system, eh?
1596See that pack on his back, Smoke? 1596 Shorty, why are our two claims here like the Panama Canal?"
1596Sit a horse?
1596Suppose it had come''double nought''?
1596That being so, I repeat, what''s your hurry?
1596That girl-- one damn fine girl, eh?
1596The man?
1596Then what in-?
1596WHO? 1596 We know you can pick winning numbers, and we know what those numbers are; but how do you do it?"
1596Well, we''re takin''you, ai n''t we?
1596Well, you''ve seen me play,Smoke answered defiantly;"and if you think it''s only a string of luck on my part, why worry?"
1596Were you raised on bear- meat?
1596What are you going to do?
1596What did it cost you?
1596What did it say?
1596What did you get for it?
1596What did you tell him?
1596What do you know about it?
1596What do you mean?
1596What do you want now?
1596What earthly good are you anyway? 1596 What if we pass Dawson?"
1596What is it-- another one of them blamed stampedes?
1596What number?
1596What the devil do you mean?
1596What time is it?
1596What was the tax?
1596What will Shorty say?
1596What with?
1596What''d you kill Joe Kinade for?
1596What''s a hog- walloping snooper, Shorty?
1596What''s chechaquo mean?
1596What''s happened?
1596What''s her name?
1596What''s that?
1596What''s the answer?
1596What''s the delay?
1596What''s the good of turning back after getting this far?
1596What''s the matter with you?
1596What''s your hurry?
1596What''s your system?
1596What''s yours?
1596When did you last box?
1596When do we start?
1596When do we start?
1596Where are you goin'', Sam?
1596Where are you goin''?
1596Where are you going?
1596Where you goin''?
1596Where''d you get it?
1596Where''s Big Olaf?
1596Who is O''Hara? 1596 Who is it?"
1596Who was that?
1596Who was the man you hiked out of camp two weeks ago?
1596Who''s afraid?
1596Who''s that?
1596Who? 1596 Who?
1596Why do n''t you buck somebody else''s table?
1596Why do n''t you get angry with me?
1596Why do n''t you kick in an''get excited?
1596Wo n''t this do?
1596Wo n''t you come along with us? 1596 Wo n''t you join me?"
1596Wonder what the Colonel wants with you?
1596You did it on purpose?
1596You do n''t mean to say I''ve got an even chance on that table?
1596You have n''t fifty pounds of flour you''ll sell?
1596You have n''t got other systems, have you?
1596You know Squaw Creek?--empties in on the other side the Yukon thirty miles up?
1596You mean we ai n''t got nothin'', Smoke?
1596You mean we got to get out to- night? 1596 You never ate bear- meat, did you?"
1596Young man, what sense is there in you testifyin''that way? 1596 Your father did n''t sprain a tendon, but waited till we were out of sight and then went on?"
1596A Jap?"
1596An''hear that door slam?
1596And in that one over there?
1596Are you game?"
1596Before God and man, of what use are you?
1596But ai n''t it plum amazin''the way everybody hits the trail just the same?"
1596But-- er-- aren''t you afraid this is gambling?"
1596Can you swim?"
1596D''ye think I brought him all the way here to be lynched?
1596D''ye think I can learn the knack?"
1596Did you sign a contract?"
1596Do you get it?
1596Do you realize that my grandfather, sir, your father, old Isaac Bellew, killed a man with his fist when he was sixty- nine years old?"
1596Do you really expect to stake a claim?"
1596Got cold feet?"
1596How do you like MY outfit?"
1596How far do you reckon we''ve come, Pierre?"
1596How near am I?"
1596How was I to know the hard?
1596How''d I know it?
1596I''ve made some smoke on this trail, have n''t I?"
1596If you get through safely, will you run my boat through?"
1596Is it a go?"
1596Is n''t she a dandy?"
1596Is n''t there some way to shake them?"
1596Me?
1596Me?
1596Me?
1596Music?
1596Now, if when I was a youngster I had taken some of those intensely masculine vacations you go in for-- I wonder why you did n''t invite me sometimes?
1596Now, just how might you be goin''about to get started?"
1596Now?"
1596Or-- er-- fancy work of some sort?
1596Savve?
1596Say-- what d''ye think Schroeder''s scheme is?
1596Say--?"
1596See the light in that cabin?
1596See the point?
1596Shorty answered:"Me?
1596Suppose I asked you to come along?"
1596Suppose I cover it for the Billow?
1596The older man was on the verge of choking with wrath, but swallowed it down and managed to articulate:"How old are you?"
1596The rifle, the ammunition, the bullet that killed Joe Kinade is against you-- What''s that?
1596Them lights?
1596There were mutterings of"Lynch him now-- why wait?"
1596To another, who hailed him with:"Where away, little one?
1596V."How many ahead?"
1596Was it my fault that I never had to sweat?"
1596Was it system?
1596Well, anyway-- what''s your name, pardner?"
1596What are you dragging me around the country this way for anyway?"
1596What are you kicking about?"
1596What d''ye know about boatin''on the water?
1596What d''ye know?"
1596What d''ye say?"
1596What d''ye say?"
1596What did they do when they hit Linderman?
1596What do you say?"
1596What does it mean?"
1596What luck did you have?"
1596What pictures have you painted?
1596What was there left but etchings and pictures and fans?
1596What was you chinnin''about?"
1596What will you sell the system for?"
1596What''s that grub- thief got to do with it?"
1596What''s the good of dreamin''if you ca n''t dream to the real right, dead sure, eternal finish?"
1596What''s the good of goin''over it again?
1596What''s the matter?
1596Where is it?"
1596Where''s French Louis?"
1596Who are you?"
1596Who''ll serve you coffee in your blankets and manicure your finger- nails?
1596Will you sign the receipt?"
1596Yellow Face, what''d you do, lying in the frost with circulation getting slack and a man trying to plug you?"
1596You know Mono Creek?"
1596how''s your feet?"
12192Ai n''t that enough?
12192And if all this is true, why did n''t your friend come and testify at the hearing?
12192And then?
12192And where would_ I_ come in?
12192Are n''t you rather uproarious-- for so early in the day, William? 12192 Are you acquainted with this-- this part of the country?"
12192Are yuh going to let the Pilgrim hang around here this summer?
12192Buy? 12192 Can she make a punkin pie, Billy boy, Billy boy, Can she make a punkin pie, charming Billy?
12192Can she make a punkin pie, Billy boy, Billy boy? 12192 Could you-- direct me to the right road?"
12192Did yuh happen to find out, when yuh was bargaining for the Double- Crank, how much land Brown''s got held out?
12192Do you expect to be in town for any length of time?
12192Do you like it as well as-- chicken stew?
12192Do you think we would better buy?
12192Does she chapyron yuh this fervent when the Pilgrim''s the man?
12192Have you been gambling, William?
12192How about what?
12192How far are we now from town?
12192How much did yuh get hold of?
12192How''s shipping coming on, Billy?
12192Huh?
12192I''m sure going to make good to- day or--And a little farther--"What if it ai n''t_ them_?"
12192I-- well, you''ll be good and obliging and do just what I want, wo n''t you?
12192If I were a marrying man, I am not sure but I should make love to Flora-- h- m- m!--this''Bachelor''s Complaint''here-- have you read it, William? 12192 If the-- the grubstake is down to a whisper( that''s the way you say it, is n''t it?)
12192It''s beginning to storm, is n''t it?
12192Just visiting--''cause it''s_ Sunday_, eh? 12192 Mad?
12192Me? 12192 Most through, ai n''t yuh?"
12192Mr. Walland is a good rider, do n''t you think?
12192My God, ai n''t yuh_ man_ enough-- Have I got to take yuh by the ear and slit your gullet like they stick pigs-- or else let yuh_ go_? 12192 Oh, where have you been, Billy boy, Billy boy?
12192Oh, where have you been, Billy boy, Billy boy? 12192 Oh, where have yuh been, Billy boy, Billy boy?
12192Oh-- is it?
12192Pretty soft going, ai n''t it?
12192Say, Dilly, yuh fixed up that leasing business, did n''t yuh?
12192Shall we go?
12192She''s good for to- day, ai n''t she?
12192That was the arrangement, as I understood it"And you''re thinking strong of buying him out?
12192The blamed chump-- what did he go and pull out for?
12192Then I went to find Mama Joy--"Who?
12192Took''er home all right, did yuh?
12192We were just going to turn back-- weren''t we, Billy Boy?
12192We-- I-- aren''t you going to be nice and say good- by to me?
12192Well, what yuh going to do, then?
12192Were you going to play with some one in particular?
12192What have I done to yuh that you throw it into me like that? 12192 What they been doping yuh with, Bill?
12192What would you advise, William, under the present unfavorable conditions?
12192What''s wrong with your gun? 12192 What- yuh- want?"
12192When did the fit take yuh? 12192 When, Billy?
12192Where the dickens did_ you_ come from?
12192Which hoss?
12192Who is he?
12192Who? 12192 Why the dickens did n''t I have the sense and nerve to ride over and ask her straight out if she was coming?
12192Why?
12192Wo n''t you sit down? 12192 You can go, and--""Do n''t yuh never_ dance_?"
12192You do n''t suppose that they had any grudge against Mr. Murton, do you?
12192You haven''t-- I_ know_ you have n''t, but I''ll give you a chance to dissemble-- you have n''t a partner for the dance, have you?
12192You look as cross as if--"What''s the Pilgrim doing here?
12192You mean Mr. Walland? 12192 You saw-- er-- you saw Bridger, then?
12192You say you start at sunrise? 12192 You waltz and two- step and polka and schottische, do n''t you?"
12192Yuh ai n''t going back tonight, are yuh?
12192Yuh do n''t know of any quarrel between you and me? 12192 Yuh expect to meet old man Robinson there, do n''t yuh?"
12192Yuh got a water right along with the ranch, did n''t yuh say?
12192Yuh have n''t heard me raising any howl, have yuh?
12192Yuh have n''t? 12192 Yuh mad yet?"
12192_Oh, where have you been, Billy boy, Billy boy?
12192Ai n''t it loaded?
12192Ai n''t it working good to- night?
12192Ai n''t yuh proud uh his acquaintance?
12192And did not every raw- red fencepost proclaim anew its death?
12192And if she were at the picnic, would she remember him?
12192And if the Pilgrim chose to forget the unpleasant circumstances of their parting and be friends, what could he do but forget also?
12192And kill his dog?
12192And then I walked miles, it seems to me; so that ought to be an excuse, ought n''t it?
12192And what did he-- say?"
12192And where was the Pilgrim?
12192Anybody dead?"
12192Anything against it?"
12192Anything else?"
12192At some other dance you need n''t dance with me once, or look at me, even-- That will even things up, wo n''t it?"
12192Boyle?"
12192Boyle?"
12192But he could n''t forget how the widow might feel if he canned her stepbrother-- and what''s a man, more or less, in a case uh that kind?"
12192But suppose Mr. Brown_ uses_ the water?
12192CHAPTER V._ The Man From Michigan._"How old is she, Billy boy, Billy boy, How old is she, charming Billy?
12192Can she brew, can she bake, charming Billy?"
12192Can she make a punkin pie, charming Billy?"
12192Could you tell me about where it would be from here?"
12192Did it come on with fever- n''-chills, like most other breaking- outs?
12192Did n''t know there was a picnic or a Bluebell Grove?
12192Did she ever tell you, William?"
12192Did you-- er-- buy as many cattle as you expected to get?"
12192Did yuh know it?"
12192Do n''t yuh know it''s morning?"
12192Do you think you are taking an altogether unprejudiced view of the matter?
12192Do yuh know anything about injunctions?
12192Eh?
12192Flora, do yuh think I do n''t_ know_ the stuff he''s made of?
12192For him the old life on the range was dead-- for had not Dill made him see it so?
12192Fred, eh?
12192Going to be in town long enough for me to play a game uh pool?"
12192Has she got any mince pies baked?"
12192Has the creek went and run off somewhere?"
12192Have you any idea how much beef there will be to ship this fall?"
12192Have you begun to study diplomacy yet, Billy Boy?"
12192Have you?"
12192He ai n''t fit for yuh to speak to-- and I''d a told yuh before, only I did n''t have any right--""Are you sure you have a right now?"
12192He did not add,"What are you going to do about it?"
12192He had ridden in with them-- and why not?
12192He pointed his finger mockingly"Ai n''t he a peach of a Bad Man, boys?
12192He went back to his ditty and inquired frequently:"Can she make a punkin pie, Billy boy, Billy Boy?"
12192How about it, Bill?"
12192How are yuh on making biscuits?"
12192How are yuh, anyhow?"
12192How came she to be there, and why did she sing those lines?
12192How did she know that was_ his_ song, or-- did she really care at all?
12192How long does the toothache last as a general thing?"
12192How much hay yuh got put up?"
12192How old is she, charming Billy?
12192How''re yuh coming?"
12192How''s a man going to get married when he''s only got six dollars in his jeans?"
12192How''s everybody at the ranch?
12192How''s your mother, Miss Bridger?
12192Huh?"
12192I do n''t feel like trying to break''em in to keep on working-- do you?"
12192I guess maybe he did n''t get a jolt, huh?
12192I suppose we can arrange it so that, in case the market rises suddenly, you can rush in a trainload at short notice?"
12192I''d worked that bunch up till it sure was a dandy lot uh hosses-- but what yuh going to do?"
12192If the Pilgrim wanted peace, he was thinking rapidly, what grounds had he for ignoring the truce?
12192If you will wait for half an hour-- you are going home, I take it?"
12192It is located--""Located-- hell!--do yuh think_ I_ do n''t know?"
12192It''s nearly dark, but they''re worth trying for, do n''t you think?
12192May I rummage?"
12192Oh, where have you been, charming Billy?
12192Oh, where have you been, charming Billy?"
12192Oh, where have you been, charming Billy?"
12192Oh, where have yuh been, charming Billy?"
12192On the dead, are yuh religious?"
12192Outside the town, Dill turned gravely to the other,"Did you say you were intending to camp down by the creek, William?"
12192Say, how many cattle have yuh got receipts for, to date-- if it ai n''t too much trouble?"
12192See?"
12192Shall I give my gun to the bar- keep and go out where it''s dark?
12192Should you, William?"
12192Suppose there is none left to turn back into the creek channel when he is through?
12192That do n''t sound to me like any forty- acre field; does it to you?"
12192There''s a limit to that kinda thing-- with_ her!_""What''s that?"
12192There''s a trail, is n''t there?"
12192Think I want to sleep out to- night, when town''s so clost?"
12192This Western air does give one_ such_ an appetite, does n''t it?
12192Twenty- one dollars a head as they run-- and everything else thrown in, uh course?"
12192Uh course, he wo n''t, because he''s afraid, but-- I do n''t reckon yuh can call it liking--""_ Why_ did you''haze him away,''as you call it, Billy?
12192Walland?"
12192Was Brown going to start another cow- outfit, or was he merely going to try his hand at farming?
12192Was n''t that enough?
12192Well, shall I cut the top off this bunch uh beef, or throw the whole business back on the range?
12192What do I want with_ her_?"
12192What do you say?"
12192What do you think of it, William?"
12192What do you think, William?"
12192What do you think, William?"
12192What do yuh want to know the worst?"
12192What else have I got to do before you''ll come alive?
12192What had she gone on like that about her father for, if she could n''t stand for any one siding in with her?
12192What was it?
12192What yuh want to lay here snoring for at this time uh day?
12192What_ are_ yuh, anyhow?
12192Where did you raise the amount, William?"
12192Who''s been fencing up all Montana south uh the creek, then?"
12192Why must he be compelled to worry over the Double- Crank, that had always seemed to him a synonym for success?
12192Why must his first and only love affair be hampered by an element so disturbing as Mama Joy?
12192Why?"
12192Will yuh be scared to tackle me then?"
12192Wonder why he wants to hold that out?"
12192Would n''t we rake in the stakes if I could?"
12192Would the sun rise like that in New Mexico?
12192Would yuh mind saying over the details uh the offer again?"
12192XX The Shadow Lies Long XXI The End of the Double- Crank XXII Settled In Full XXIII"Oh, Where Have You Been, Charming Billy?"
12192You''ve met her, have n''t you?"
12192Your Dilly is rather bright, do you know?
12192Yuh hear?"
12192Yuh say yuh do n''t?"
12192Yuh smell him coming, do yuh?"
12192Yuh think I''m going to stand for him running after my girl?
12192Yuh wo n''t even_ fight_, will yuh?"
12192_ Did n''t_ he?
12192yuh think I''m worrying over canned cream?
12570''Sleep?
12570''Who calls?'' 12570 Ah-- how much do you value your improvements at?"
12570Ah-- is this a modern, dramatic version of Beauty and the Beast? 12570 And then?
12570And you do n''t know--?
12570And_ what''s_ the idea of two saddle- horses and two saddles and two bridles?
12570Are you?
12570Aw, where do you get that dope?
12570Aw, where do you get that line-- walk your head off? 12570 Aw,''s matter with yuh, anyway?"
12570But is he then dead, my son?
12570Can you think of anybody else that might be in on the deal?
12570Did all those words you used mean that Pat will foam at the mouth like mad dogs you read about?
12570Did any more--?
12570Did he know anything about this country? 12570 Did n''t think to bring any pie, I s''pose?"
12570Did you do that?
12570Did you know them?
12570Did you spell my name into that man''s manuscript?
12570Did you try the gym?
12570Do n''t you think you really ought to take him back with you? 12570 Do you always take a shot at something when you get peeved?"
12570Do you think, for gosh sake, the whole family''s got to be nutty just because he was sick and got a queer streak?
12570Durn it, why is it you never take me serious?
12570Given names are horrid things, are n''t they?
12570Got a gun on the ranch?
12570Have the girl bring a blanket to cover Estan-- for here he must remain until he is viewed by the coroner-- you understand? 12570 Have you been staying out of school and hanging around those picture studios?"
12570Helen May, what in God''s name did you tangle up with''em for?
12570Him? 12570 His eyes look queer, do n''t you think?"
12570How are you, after your jaunt the other night?
12570How do I know her folks are n''t Spanish or something? 12570 How do you do?"
12570How do you do?
12570How, then, did it happen? 12570 Huh?
12570Infected?
12570Is that getting you anywhere in your studies? 12570 Is-- Mr. Calvert at home?"
12570Kinda fries out the grease, do n''t it? 12570 Kneel down here beside me and act scared, will you?
12570Now what in thunder does that mean?
12570Now, has the dub gone and got married, wonder?
12570Now, where does he get that idea?
12570Oh, do n''t I?
12570Oh, wo n''t you stop-- for lunch? 12570 Oh-- would you mind killing that beast down there in that little hollow?"
12570Pat? 12570 Predisposition-- and then the grippe-- her mother went that way, did n''t she?"
12570Savvy? 12570 Say, are you plumb_ bugs_?
12570Say, where do you get that stuff? 12570 See anything of''em?"
12570See anything?
12570See? 12570 See?
12570Shall strong men be content in their slavery to the greed of others? 12570 Sick, over there?"
12570Speaking of feeble blow, and all that bunk,he said irreverently,"how do we stand, Holly?
12570Suppose he starts running after them; he might chase them clear off the ranch, and then what?
12570Sure''s hot out here to- day, ai n''t it, pardner?
12570Then will you tell me how else it is to be done?
12570There_ are_ such things as rabid coyotes, are n''t there? 12570 They not tell, then?
12570Vic home yet?
12570Vic, where did you get that money?
12570W- what made you fall down like that?
12570W- why? 12570 Well, but do you think it would he right to keep this dog?"
12570Well, what do you think I am?
12570What about us poor devils that''s furnishing the time and money and brains to put it over? 12570 What are the symptoms, for gracious sake?"
12570What are they going to do, now they''re here?
12570What are you looking for?
12570What brought them away out here?
12570What chances, for gracious sake? 12570 What did the doctor say about your cough, Babe?"
12570What did the doctor tell you, Babe? 12570 What does the señor advise, my son?"
12570What kinda car was it, did you notice? 12570 What makes you think I am tangled up with it?
12570What reason? 12570 What ridge?"
12570What''s wrong?
12570What-- are-- you counting on?
12570Where is Johnny Calvert?
12570Where you going to look? 12570 Where you trying to take''em-- or ai n''t you?"
12570Which Apodaca? 12570 Who?
12570Why do n''t you cut it down? 12570 Why?"
12570Y''_ lost_?
12570Yes? 12570 Yes?
12570You do n''t have to bundle yourself up in dusters and goggles and things when you take a ride, do you? 12570 You know Elfigo Apodaca?"
12570You know his voice?
12570You see, do n''t you, Vic?
12570_ Bought_ a claim?
12570_ Quien sabe_?
12570( Trivial worries, you say?
12570Am I right, gentlemen, in that assumption?"
12570And if he has written a note-- he does sometimes-- and signed it-- he always signs his name in full-- why, that will be proof, wo n''t it?"
12570And now I shall kill Apodaca-- and my life also will pay--""What is this thou sayest?"
12570And what if the fellow came back, sneaking back in the dark, and tried to get in the house, or something?
12570And why had he sung that_ Bedouin Love Song_ just as she was thinking it as something that explained him and identified him?
12570And yet, how did Peter expect to buy anything of the sort?
12570And you do n''t have to pull the lines the least bit, do you?"
12570Are we a cowardly people who would cringe and yield when submission means infamy?
12570Are you crazy?"
12570Are you hurt so you ca n''t walk?"
12570But as to_ raising_ them-- what are they good for, for heaven''s sake?"
12570But at seven o''clock in the morning?
12570But had he just_ happened_ to bring them?
12570But you''d think they might have shown some interest, would n''t you?"
12570But-- isn''t it wonderful?
12570CHAPTER FOURTEEN A SHOT FROM THE PINNACLE"Why-- did some one come with you, Mr. Starr?
12570CHAPTER SEVENTEEN"IS HE THEN DEAD-- MY SON?"
12570Can you beat that?
12570Can you beat that?"
12570Can you beat that?"
12570Dad, do you realize what you''ve done?"
12570Did he know-- what chances you''d be taking?"
12570Did he throw rocks, honest?
12570Did she not know?
12570Did you ever_ hear_ a big silence like this?"
12570Do n''t tell Vic, will you?
12570Do we get lined up against a wall?"
12570Do we win?"
12570Do you want to plaster me with germs?"
12570Ever shoot a gun, either of you?"
12570First of all, and going back to the beginning, how did he really_ know_ that her story was true?
12570First of all, what is the right way to get on a horse?
12570For heaven''s sake, are you trying to take a_ bath_ in that can?
12570Go on and tend to your goats, why do n''t you?
12570Had he read her mind?
12570Had she not daily denied herself things which she considered necessities, that she might husband the precious balance of Peter''s insurance money?
12570Had she not walked rather than spend money and grass on a horse?
12570Had she, he thought swiftly, been only pretending that she considered the country perfectly safe?
12570Has the dog exhibited any tendency toward sluggishness, Miss Stevenson?"
12570Have n''t they got any folks?"
12570Have you ever noticed how adroitly we tone down or magnify certain misdeeds simply by using slang or dictionary words as the case may be?)
12570He wondered who Vic was-- man, woman or child?
12570He_ did_?
12570How about it?
12570How can I tell what is mystery?
12570How could my writing--?"
12570How did he chance to take it up just at the point where her memory had carried it?
12570How did he know she was thinking that song?
12570How did he know that her father-- it might even be her husband!--was dead?
12570How do I know anything about her?
12570How long have you been here?
12570How the dickens do you do it?
12570How, for instance, did he know that her father had not been one of the heads of the conspiracy?
12570I kinda--""Why not?
12570I mean, is it feasible, or just a stunt for pictures?"
12570If one county could show so appalling an insurrectory force, what of the whole State?
12570Is it just movie stuff, where a man rides behind on a horse, and lets the girl ride in front?
12570Is it-- Smith, perhaps?"
12570Is n''t it?"
12570Is n''t that the writing you meant?
12570Is this a joke, or what?"
12570It had not occurred to him that so innocuous a sheet as_ Las Nuevas_ should be implicated, and yet, why not?
12570It just happened( or had it just happened?)
12570Juan?"
12570Just between you and me as men-- cut out any interest we may have in the game-- what''s your honest opinion?
12570Just-- do you know how they act, and how a person could tell when something has caught the disease from them?"
12570May I ask just wherein lies the resemblance?"
12570Me?"
12570Might it not have been coming to pick her up?
12570Now, I suppose he''s stopping over there to see what he must do next, is he?"
12570Or shall I pick you up and_ put_ you on?"
12570Or, have you got to?
12570Sabe?
12570Saint?
12570Say, what are you mumbling about?"
12570See?
12570That boy-- what for help he be to that girl?
12570The real point I''m trying to get at is, what chance do you think the Alliance has got of winning?
12570Thou art--""Why not?
12570Three weeks, or four?"
12570To her work?
12570W''at they know about hard life?
12570Was it plausible, he asked himself, that she had actually walked over there?
12570Was it possible?
12570Was it-- on account of Pat?"
12570We hope so, do n''t we?
12570What ails you, anyway?
12570What are you counting on?"
12570What are you lolling around me for, Pat?
12570What did I do to so terrify you?
12570What did anything matter, if Babe died and left him plodding along alone?
12570What does he think I am-- a movie queen?"
12570What ever possessed you to do such a crazy thing, anyhow?"
12570What had he done to rouse suspicion against himself?
12570What happened next?"
12570What if he dawdled along and kept Helen May waiting until it was too late?
12570What in the world was she doing up at that hour of the night?
12570What is it?"
12570What is the matter with you, Starr of the desert?
12570What made somebody shoot at you?
12570What petty round of duties and pleasures made up his daily, intimate life?
12570What reason have you got for connecting me with such a thing?"
12570What that girl do?
12570What was she doing there, anyway?
12570What was she there for, anyway?
12570What would we want a gun for?"
12570Where do you get your argument for gentleness, Holly?
12570Where would they meet?
12570Where''d you get these things-- or did the cat bring it in?
12570Where''s your dog?"
12570Who was he?
12570Who would harm my son-- my little Estan that was so good?
12570Why do n''t you try that new place on Spring?"
12570Why do n''t yuh--""What would we feed them on?
12570Why had they been strangers until just now?
12570Why is it doctors never have any brains about such things?
12570Why not turn the tables and annex a part of the vast territory stolen from her by the octopus arms of our capitalist class?
12570Why permit yourself to be worried?
12570Why should not Mexico therefore reclaim her own?
12570Why, did I frighten you so badly, Miss Stevenson?
12570Why, then, should its peace be despoiled because of political agitators?
12570Will you leave me alone?
12570Will you stand by and see her further despoiled?
12570Would you, doggums?"
12570You can see the same handwriting in the address, ca n''t you?
12570You could n''t have had your breakfast-- or have you?
12570You get me?
12570You have discovered that incontrovertible fact, have you?
12570You have the sheep in the stockyards by Saturday, will you?
12570You seen them?"
12570You went to see him, did n''t you?"
12570You--""Then you do n''t think Hollywood--?"
12570she repeated and added grimly:"What with?"
18352And leave me all alone?
18352And that, of course, included something of the history of their devoted attendants?
18352And the thaves are going to camp and cook their supper on the other side?
18352And to the west and north?
18352And we must go on opening and closing gates and running errands in Arizona? 18352 And you knew what you are telling me when we were exchanging oxen this morning?"
18352And you say you have seen no Navajos or signs of them since you came?
18352Are they quite as old as that, lieutenant?
18352Are you hurt?
18352As spoil of war, corporal?
18352But about that pony''s shoe; do you want it reset?
18352But can we go with any better prospect of success to- morrow or next day?
18352But how are we going to find our horses without her? 18352 But how did you make the acquaintance of Corporal Henry Burton, Miss Arnold?"
18352But how_ can_ I wait?
18352But why can not we attend the race with the escort, as spectators, and seize them?
18352Ca n''t Vic be sent with a message?
18352Ca n''t something be done to get the ponies back, sir?
18352Ca n''t we give her the proper attendance here, doctor?
18352Ca n''t we go there, sir? 18352 Ca n''t we have Vic here, too, sir?"
18352Can not you scare him by a threat?
18352Can she be made to live, doctor?
18352Can you make out the opening?
18352Can you think of any way of locating her?
18352Corpril Duffey, will ye let one uv the b''ys walk me bate a minate till I can take the laddie in?
18352D''ye know these critters?
18352D''ye moind the cut uv thim chaps''hair, Jarge?
18352Did they have our ponies?
18352Did you have this tent pitched for our use, sir?
18352Do Indians never stand up like white men, and fight?
18352Do n''t you suppose, sir, that Elarnagan would give Manuel up for the large reward his mother offers?
18352Do you know where they were bound?
18352Do you think Mr. Hudson knew his predecessor had been killed?
18352Do you think it would be possible for me to own him, sir?
18352Do you think there is any chance of our finding Manuel Perea?
18352Do you think we shall hear from father, Frank?
18352Does a soldier choose his duty, sir?
18352Does th''liftinint moind that Sargint Hinery mintioned a covered way that led from th''cellar to th''spring?
18352Easy of approach?
18352From Fort Whipple, ai n''t yer, sonny?
18352Had n''t you better travel with me the rest of the way?
18352Half and half-- what do you mean?
18352Have these Apaches a camping- place near here?
18352Have you ever been caught by a rise, sir?
18352Have you ever been to La Paz?
18352Have you no idea of the fearful danger in which he has placed himself?
18352Have you seen Chiquita?
18352Have you seen none?
18352Have you visited the Arnolds?
18352How did you get away from the ranch? 18352 How do they happen to be in Santa Fé?"
18352How do you know?
18352How far do we go to- day, Frank?
18352How far is it from here?
18352How fast do men march?
18352How many days are we to stay out?
18352How many?
18352How, please?
18352I should much like to have their company, sir,I replied,"but would it not be exposing them to great danger from the Indians?"
18352I suppose it appears to you there can be no good reason for crossing to this side?
18352I suppose you are familiar with this part of the country, Paul?
18352I suppose you have scouted the country thoroughly?
18352I suppose you intend to take this venison with you?
18352I thought Western people always hanged horse- thieves?
18352I wonder if Samson could lift those gates as easily as he did the gates of Gaza?
18352I wonder what officer he will send?
18352I, or my paint?
18352Is it to your room I''ll be takin''him, sor?
18352Is n''t it strange Indians should camp in such a place?
18352Is n''t that just jolly, Frank?
18352Is not Corporal Henry here?
18352Is she much hurt?
18352Is that where Ferrier was killed?
18352Is the Xuacaxélla really a desert?
18352Is the camp open to attack?
18352It was in the cellar of the house that Sergeant Henry said the body of Mrs. Arnold was laid, was it not?
18352Just as soon as I arrived in the valley my horse and I were stripped of-- But hold on, Frank; what am I thinking of?
18352Lookin''on''em up, I s''pect?
18352Looks as if the end of a passage had been filled, does n''t it?
18352Lost a whole college year, have n''t you?
18352May I look at the shoe, sergeant?
18352May I use the balsa again, Indita?
18352Muchachos,suddenly cried a ringing voice from the rear, in Spanish,"are you not ashamed?
18352Navajo?
18352Next Saturday, then?
18352Not take Vic? 18352 Not to wear?"
18352Oh, Mr. Duncan, may I speak to you a moment?
18352Promised Frank? 18352 Sargint Hinery, is it you, laddie?"
18352Shall I go by Bill Williams Fork or across the Xuacaxélla?
18352Shall we leave our monte and other stuff in town?
18352That flows into Bill Williams Fork, does it not?
18352The American had a scar on the bridge of his nose, and the Mexican had lost his front teeth?
18352The Corner?
18352Then if all were killed after he left-- shot from time to time-- would not their remains be likely to be beside hers?
18352Then she will not come with you?
18352Then we are to have the tent to ourselves?
18352Then we had better continue on the northern trail awhile and mislead them, you think?
18352Then why did he take them?
18352Then you have been dreading to leave the doggie?
18352Then you think I can generally remedy things? 18352 Then you think it a good plan?"
18352Then you think she is not to blame for following us?
18352They are n''t playing us a trick, are they, Frank?
18352They''ll try to make it lively for us, I suppose?
18352Ute?
18352Vic, you bad girl, how dared you follow me?
18352Well, Vicky,he said,"there is but one sergeant in the world to you, and he is here, is n''t he?"
18352What are conditions?
18352What are you doing with these college text- books on the La Paz trail?
18352What are you going to do with the animals you brought here?
18352What do you think about allowing the boys to go with me?
18352What do you think is going on?
18352What does it mean? 18352 What in the world is this?"
18352What is it, Hudson?
18352What is it?
18352What is the matter, Miss Arnold?
18352What is the trouble, please?
18352What other ways are there in and out of the valley, besides the one which we entered?
18352What would you like to do?
18352When did Corporal Frank start?
18352When did the chief take your clothes?
18352Where are they, and how many?
18352Where shall we go?
18352Where''s the sense of marching in the dark when the whole distance can be done in six hours, and the sun rises at five and sets at seven? 18352 Who was Ferrier?"
18352Why are those Navajo boys running their horses in this direction? 18352 Why did you not tell me?"
18352Why not speak to Brenda in English, and ask her to try to show us where she is? 18352 Why not try a march on foot, Henry?"
18352Why, Henry,I said,"you did not make that march with the men?"
18352Will they hurt us, Tom?
18352Will you please explain, sir?
18352Yes, but who can do it?
18352Yes; what is it?
18352You do n''t believe the rabbits knew we were n''t armed then and know we are now?
18352You would n''t mind it, would you, sir?
18352( Are you the captain?)
183521, challenged:"Halt!--who comes there?"
18352A general handshake ensued, and Corporal Frank asked,"Where are your clothes, Henry?"
18352Accordingly, without appearing to notice their remarks, I approached the chief, and said, interrogatively:"Apache?"
18352After pondering this apparently unreasonable movement he asked:"Why did we not camp on that grassy park on the opposite side?"
18352Approaching her, I asked:"Why are you doing that, Miss Brenda?"
18352Arnold?"
18352Arnold?"
18352At the end of the boys''story, Brenda asked:"The thieves were a Mexican and an American?"
18352But Henry-- gone down the turbulent river on a frail bundle of grass-- what might I not fear?
18352But if not Navajos, Apaches, or Utes, who were these warriors?
18352But presently I heard Clary ask,"Jarge, did ye iver see Navihos with blankets like thim?"
18352Ca n''t she stay with us until morning?"
18352Ca n''t we catch it for Henry?"
18352Ca n''t you come and see us next holiday?"
18352Corporal Henry, at the end of a prolonged yawn, asked,"Are we going to start at this hour every morning, sir?"
18352Corpril Frank, laddie, is it you-- and aloive?"
18352Do n''t you really believe the boys will return, sir?"
18352Do you think, sir, there is any chance of our seeing them again?"
18352Duncan?"
18352Duncan?"
18352Frank expressed the trend of thought by asking,"We now march into the heart of the Navajo country, do we not, sir?"
18352Going to send her to Jemez for the men?"
18352Had the boy seen a mirage and gone mad?
18352Have you any boys of your own?"
18352Hopkins?"
18352Hudson?"
18352Hudson?"
18352I was about to search for her, when Frank appeared, and asked,"Have you seen my brother?"
18352I wonder how far camp is from here?"
18352I wonder if Henry is among them?
18352I wonder if the roof is covered with earth?
18352Is she all right?"
18352May I ask you a question?"
18352Navajo?
18352Need I confess the emotions with which we realized the service this brave Arizona merchant had done us?
18352Nice little doggie-- good little Vicky-- are you really to go to San Francisco and the East with us?"
18352Perhaps you saw him, when you were on the butte, dash round the herd with Henry on his shoulder?"
18352Shall I make the signal?"
18352Surgeon Coues, who reclined near me, asked:"Do you think any of those fellows understand English?"
18352The chief approached me and, placing a finger on one of my shoulder- straps, asked, in mongrel Spanish:"Usted capitan?"
18352Think it would be safe?"
18352True; but what harm could there be if he kept out of sight?
18352Turning to the governor, I asked,"Are there any Navajos about here?"
18352Ute?
18352Was there ever sweeter music?
18352What are those objects in that farther corner, sir?"
18352What could it be, and what did it threaten?
18352What could it mean?
18352What do they want of us?"
18352What do you know about them, Brenda?"
18352What do you mean?"
18352What do you think of it?"
18352What do you think of the shrinking properties of water when applied to a desert road?"
18352What does it mean?"
18352What is it?"
18352When I put the questions, Apache?
18352When?"
18352Where has he gone?"
18352Which way will you go, Paul?"
18352Who comes there?"
18352Who were they?"
18352Why are those boys so ghostly white?"
18352Why did you allow it?"
18352Why not rush in with the escort and frighten them away?"
18352Why not, sir?"
18352Why was I not spared the task of enlightening it?"
18352Why was that?"
18352Wo n''t you, please?
18352You are quite sure it will give you no trouble to take them?"
18352You say the grass- boat is near by, Sargint Hinery?"
18352or need I mention that Mr. Gray-- God bless him, wherever he may be!--is always remembered with gratitude by me?
18352then you thought it a long way, sergeant?"
12139A six- strand, eh? 12139 All right,"returned Jack promptly, with a rising inflection,"Are you going to get up, or shall I haul you out by the heels?"
12139Amongst the gringos must you go to find one worthy? 12139 And does your friend also call it a little thing?"
12139And seeing you''re located down here for the summer, and do n''t need it, why do n''t you put it into lots? 12139 And the patron will have a gringo for majordomo?"
12139And what was your hurry to get to town?
12139And who''s old Manuel?
12139Are you loco, to talk of bull- fightings?
12139Are you sore over that trouble I had in town? 12139 Are you sure?"
12139Art thou scolding José again, my Andres? 12139 But if there should be an accident?"
12139But is it not your boast that the Señor Allen is the supreme caballero of California?
12139But is there further hurt?
12139But my riata?
12139Come on down to Picardo''s, Jack; what the deuce is there here to hold you? 12139 Could you overtake Manuel, do you think?"
12139D''you say Senory Jemimy?
12139Do n''t look so much like gobbling, when you get right down to cases, does it? 12139 Do you care if I use Surry?
12139Do you know where it is?
12139Do you want it?
12139Does it please you, then, Valencia? 12139 Ever been on a horse?"
12139For a camel, did you say?
12139Give that to Don Andres, will you, Valencia? 12139 Got any greaser here that can talk white man''s talk, and you can trust?"
12139How d''yuh do?
12139How long did you say they''ve been gone?
12139How much land does he say belongs to him? 12139 How quick could you get to the rancho?"
12139How you feel for my dam- close call to- morrow?
12139I do n''t like that caballo,went on Dade, helping himself to meat,"and so I''d hate like the deuce to be hung for stealing him; sabe?"
12139I was walking behind the other two, but I heard Rawhide say:''Hello, son, any luck in the diggin''s?'' 12139 I wonder,"grinned Jack slyly,"if there is n''t a señorita at Palo Alto?"
12139If I wanted to go, do you think I''d hang back because he''s going?
12139If you had n''t happened along-- say, how did you happen to come? 12139 Is it anxiety for me that makes you so solicitous?"
12139Is it you, Valencia??
12139Is it you, Valencia??
12139Is there no way, Señor, in which you might avert this trouble? 12139 Jack, are you going to make it a sure- enough duel?"
12139Judge of riatas? 12139 Know anything about them greasers?
12139Looking for some rope?
12139No? 12139 Now, what do you make of that?"
12139Now, what do you suppose is the excitement over there?
12139Oh, how''s the señorita, by the way?
12139Remember that picture in Shakespeare of''White Surry''? 12139 Sa- ay,"drawled Jerry, when he came up to the little group,"what d''ye want done with this here greaser that fired on Jack?
12139Saw you ever a riata thrown as he threw it? 12139 Say, Hunter, ai n''t yuh got any feelin''s?
12139Say, Manuel, do you know a good riata, when you see one lying around loose?
12139Señor Allen, would you like to see my birds?
12139Señor Hunter,Don Andres began suddenly,"have you decided what you will do?
12139Shall we ride out and put them to the test?
12139Something has stirred his blood; surely your friend has done nothing to offend him?
12139Still-- have a smoke?
12139The blue- eyed one-- did you find from the vaqueros why he did not come? 12139 There ought to be enough decent men in this town to--""Did you git to see Jack?"
12139Tol''ble, thank yuh, how''s y''self? 12139 Up for all day?
12139Valencia? 12139 Want to come along?
12139Want to take a ride up that way and let the sun shine on your nice new saddle?
12139Well, what good would it do for you to turn down the offer, then? 12139 Well, what have I done now?"
12139Well-- what of it?
12139Well? 12139 Were any shots fired by any one except Allen?"
12139What about the riata?
12139What do you make of that?
12139What if the Committee catches you with that buckskin, Manuel?
12139What is the pleasure of the señor?
12139What of?
12139What was the row about-- do yuh know?
12139What''ll you take for him?
12139What''n hell made you brag about me to Manuel?
12139What''s pesterin''the ole feller? 12139 What''s the matter?
12139Where''s Jack?
12139Who''s got him?
12139Who''s the best vaquero, the bravest and the best in California?
12139Who''s the kid?
12139Why did n''t you say so?
12139Why do n''t you wear it just the way it is, honey?
12139Why do n''t you yell at me that the sun is going to set in the west to- night?
12139Why does it seem a pity?
12139Why, you darned chump, how long ago was it that you talked yourself black in the face, trying to make me say I''d stay? 12139 Why,"demanded José bitterly,"should the Americanos presume to question our right to our land?
12139Why? 12139 Why?"
12139Why?
12139You admit, then, that you killed Rawhide Jack and Texas Bill this morning?
12139You are n''t crazy about this job here, are you? 12139 You fellows are going to dance, ai n''t yuh?"
12139You say he''s quit?
12139You swear that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so- help- you- God?
12139You will excuse me, Señor? 12139 You''ll eat, first, wo n''t you?"
12139Your friend, the Señor Allen-- he is to join you later, perhaps?
12139A man might as well put up his hands when he hears her coming-- huh?
12139About not thinking out loud?
12139Ah, Señor--""Ah, Valencia, why not scatter some of your enthusiasm over the other camp- fires?"
12139Ai n''t it hell?"
12139Am I not right?
12139Am I then to be blamed because José has a bad temper and speech hotter than the enchilladas of Margarita?
12139And love-- what was love, after all?
12139And whar did he git his title to it?"
12139And you?"
12139Another señorita?"
12139Bull fight and all?"
12139But I wish I knew where; we''d take him up to the mine with us; huh?"
12139But-- what''n hell made you say riatas?"
12139CHAPTER XVIII WHAT IS LOVE WORTH?
12139Ca n''t you?"
12139Can you dress it so that it will be the most perfect riata in California, Diego?"
12139Could they not see that this Señor Hunter was as themselves?
12139D''you think I do n''t know enough to take care of myself?
12139D''you think I''m afraid of José?
12139D''you think a man never scowled my way before?
12139Dade, do you think he''d like to go along to the mine?
12139Did n''t they wipe your reputation clean with their official document, that Bill sent you a copy of?
12139Did you have the invisible cap, Señor?
12139Did you hear them say I won the duel with luck?
12139Did you hear them yelling, awhile ago?
12139Did-- er-- did Teresita take in all the sports?
12139Do n''t you think the old town needs taking apart?"
12139Do you reckon anything''s worth all the heart- burnings you''re indulging in?
12139Does the señor understand?"
12139Er-- what did you say her name is?"
12139For sport, that all may witness, and choose who is champion, after the bull- fighting, and the--""What are you talking about, man?"
12139For the medalla oro and also for a prize will they fight; and the prize-- what think you, Señor?"
12139Give me a job?"
12139Got the toothache?"
12139Have a d- drink?"
12139Have n''t I told you, right along, that he''s a wonder?"
12139Have you seen José lately?
12139He do n''t know any of my little kinks, do n''t you see?
12139Hello, Dade, how are yuh?"
12139How about it, Jack?
12139How about that sassy- eyed Picardo girl?
12139How did you know--?"
12139How do you make out it''s only twenty miles?"
12139How do you manage it, anyway?"
12139How many''s he got, mister?"
12139I have n''t seen or heard anything of him; have you?"
12139I never denied it, did I?"
12139I wonder if the privilege of tearing you in pieces would not bring the smile to his lips?
12139I''ve seen too many stranded--""The señor is not pleased with the riata?"
12139I''ve taught him how to take care of himself; have n''t I, Diego?"
12139Is it anything I''ve said or done?"
12139Is it for a wager that you travel thus?"
12139Is that right?"
12139Is that so, Shorty?
12139Is the Señor Jack a weakling, that he can not fight for himself?"
12139Is the old fellow jealous?"
12139Is there a señorita?"
12139Is there no way, Señor?"
12139It do n''t do any good for you to bawl it out in public and get the worst men in the Committee down on you, does it?
12139Let me have your spurs, will you?
12139Love''s worth-- what is love worth, anyway?"
12139Manuel would n''t get it, would he?"
12139Maybe, later on-- So you like your new horse, huh?
12139No?
12139On the quiet, what do you reckon you''re going to do to the greaser?"
12139Or it was in Shakespeare till you tore it out to start a fire, that wet night; remember?
12139Reckon your old don will give me a job?"
12139Sabe?
12139Saw you ever a sweeter land than this?"
12139Saw you the look of José as he passed?
12139Say, Valencia was telling me yesterday--""Well, what the dickens did ail you, then?"
12139Say, what was it made you act so glum since we came down here?"
12139Seem''son, how-- do-- you--_do_?"
12139Sensible?
12139Señor Hunter, will you speak for me?
12139Señor Jack, if so be you should ever desire death, will you let José do the killing?
12139Sha n''t I hold your horse while you git on?
12139Shall a man not be true to his friends?"
12139So, until I do, I can believe he''s the best, ca n''t I?"
12139Some one--""Where''s Surry?"
12139Surely you would n''t want to know that your roof had sheltered a coward?"
12139Tell me, Valencia, have you seen him lasso anything?"
12139The Captain had not discovered it there-- but would it make any difference?
12139The arch in his neck, and all?
12139The señor has of course heard the news?"
12139Then a question was called to whoever might be within hearing:"Who''s the best vaquero in California?"
12139Then comes a stranger and steals--"Ah, you ask me why must I fight to the death?
12139There was doubt in the señor''s mind about his horsemanship being the best in all California?
12139They would see the blue- eyed one flung dead upon the ground, and then-- would the gringos want to fight?
12139Tol''''i m he''d get hung if he-- have a d- drink?"
12139WHAT IS LOVE WORTH?
12139Want to come along?"
12139Want to lay a few bets yourself, you and Dade?
12139Was that another sample of my fool''s luck?"
12139Was wood scarce, Bill, when you built that bed?"
12139Were not thousands left?
12139What I wanted to say is, what''s the matter?
12139What do you want of one?
12139What do you want to fight to the death for?"
12139What if it is?
12139What if some hearts were bitter over the prospect?
12139What is it?"
12139What is love worth?
12139What mattered one steer, or even a fat cow, slain wastefully?
12139What the devil do you think?
12139What then?
12139What think you, Valencia?
12139What was it you were telling me, there in your own doorway, to- day?
12139What was the row about; if you do n''t mind telling me?"
12139What you going to call him?"
12139What''s holding you anyway?
12139What''s the matter, Bill?
12139What''s the matter?
12139What''s the real reason why you want to leave?"
12139What''s the trouble?"
12139What''s yer name, mister?
12139What''s your name?"
12139Where is that yellow caballo which no man has ridden?
12139Where you headed for?"
12139Where''s Chico?
12139Where''s the riata?"
12139White Surry, eh?
12139Why do n''t you kick me for being such a selfish cuss?"
12139Why, ai n''t Sandy''s case proof enough that I''m right?
12139Why, did n''t the Committee investigate you, first thing after Bill was elected, and find that you were justified?
12139Why?"
12139Would a dagger in Sandy''s sleeve have made any difference?
12139Would not the Señor Allen fight this fool who flouts him so?"
12139Would the señor care to read it?
12139Would you ask us to believe that Texas Bill lied with his last breath?"
12139You do n''t mind if I talk to''em?"
12139You do n''t mind, do you?
12139You had a disagreeable experience, Señor?
12139You know his wife died a few months ago, and he''s kind of alone; do you think he''d go?"
12139You wo n''t?
12139Your mine in the mountains-- it will be foolish to return there while the hands of the Vigilantes are reaching out to clutch you; do you not think so?
12139she cried passionately, just when Jack believed she was going to cry"Señor Jack?"
10124''Autocrat?'' 10124 A treat?"
10124Always?
10124And can you feel the rosy cheeks and bright eyes, too?
10124And could n''t we visit the Moki Indian reservation?
10124And do n''t you notice how well I walk, and how little use I have now for the crutches?
10124And freeze to death?
10124And which way do we go then?
10124And who''s going? 10124 And why should she?"
10124And you accepted such a condition?
10124And you ca n''t break your bonds and escape?
10124Are coyotes considered dangerous?
10124Are such things expensive, sir?
10124Are they all named Haggerty?
10124Are we to have no choice in the matter of partners?
10124Are you afraid, Major?
10124Are you ready?
10124Are you sure to leave to- morrow, Uncle John?
10124But I do n''t mind it in the least, Beth; do you?
10124But after this?
10124But how can you arrange to carry so much, Uncle?
10124But sometime? 10124 But what is the use?"
10124But what''s the news?
10124But who is to break the news to Myrtle?
10124But why did you leave Chicago?
10124Ca n''t Uncle John have an idea if he wants to?
10124Can he manage to do that?
10124Can we make her comfortable on a long ride?
10124Can you nod guess?
10124Can you put it on runners, like a sledge?
10124Canned er fresh?
10124Could anyone be more sweet or lovely?
10124Could n''t Wampus throw us a rope?
10124Could she ride so far in an automobile?
10124Dan''l?
10124Danger?
10124Did you call him Mr. Jones, sir?
10124Did you engage a carriage, Major?
10124Did you ever see a palm tree waving in New York; or daisy bushes as tall as a man; or such masses of roses and flowering vines? 10124 Did you find it in your dreams, then?"
10124Did your friend say anything about Hades Ranch?
10124Dit ve say shtand still, or dit ve nod say shtand still?
10124Do n''t you know his address?
10124Do n''t you like him, Daddy?
10124Do none of you ever reform?
10124Do we go to Imperial?
10124Do you believe there can be joy for me anywhere in the world?
10124Do you mean to keep him?
10124Do you really suppose we are on that man''s ground-- his ranch, as he calls it?
10124Do you sometime gamble?
10124Does Mr. Tobey own this place?
10124Does he know you are coming?
10124Eggs?
10124Eh? 10124 Ever been in this town before, Wampus?"
10124Fitted up?
10124For that bit of rags and meat?
10124Haggerty said--"Did n''t I give you Haggerty''s record, then?
10124Haggerty says--"Is that a rabbit or a squirrel? 10124 Has he a large party, then?"
10124Has he been in Leadville long?
10124Have I overlooked anyone?
10124Have n''t I?
10124Have n''t you any manners? 10124 Have you come into my life?"
10124Have you ever been overland to California?
10124Have you ever driven an''Autocrat''car?
10124Have you money?
10124How about the brakeman he threw off the train?
10124How long have you had him there?
10124How would Ethiopia or Hindustan strike you?
10124I follow you-- see? 10124 I go home unt say:''Who am I?''
10124I wonder what the poor brutes would think if they were stuffed full for once in their lives?
10124I wonder who he is?
10124Is Mr. Jones rich, then?
10124Is everything ready?
10124Is it a big town playing peek- a- boo among those hills, Uncle John, or is this really all there is to the place?
10124Is it so bad as that?
10124Is it still to be California?
10124Is n''t there any other road?
10124Is this story true?
10124Jones, and a miner?
10124Oh; we''re not going to ride in it, then?
10124Right?
10124Rooms?
10124Suppose he should be wandering now?
10124Tell me, Mr. Jones,she said, turning to him as he sat beside her;"what have you found?"
10124Tell me,she said;"why should you go to Leadville at all, now that you have no friend or relative there to care for you?"
10124Tell me: did Haggerty recommend Wampus?
10124Then where is she? 10124 Then you know the country?"
10124Those things may be well enough in their way,observed the Major,"but is their way our way?
10124Wampus,said the Major,"do you know the proper definition of a fool?"
10124Want meat fer supper?
10124Was n''t that enough?
10124What are we to understand by this outrage?
10124What are you doing there?
10124What are you going to do?
10124What do you mean by that?
10124What do you mean by this infernal nonsense?
10124What do you mean, sir, by this rebellious attitude?
10124What do you mean?
10124What do you think you will do?
10124What do you think, my dears?
10124What do you want?
10124What is Uncle Anson''s other name?
10124What is he doing?
10124What is her uncle''s name?
10124What is it, then?
10124What is it?
10124What is the Imperial road?
10124What is your price?
10124What kind of meat?
10124What make him so? 10124 What make him, then?"
10124What new idea has Uncle John conceived?
10124What on earth is Mumbles?
10124What would you propose doing?
10124What would you suggest, Patsy?
10124What''s his other name-- Anson?
10124What''s the odds?
10124What''s the programme, John?
10124What''s the use? 10124 When did you arrive?"
10124When do we start, Uncle?
10124When you have Wampus, what more you want?
10124Where''s the fiddle?
10124Which way do we go?
10124Who cares for danger? 10124 Who is Haggerty?"
10124Who is he?
10124Who is''he,''Wampus?
10124Who told you so?
10124Who''s Mumbles?
10124Why did you not tell us?
10124Why do you force me to be persistent?
10124Why not take her to California with us?
10124Why not to- morrow?
10124Why not? 10124 Why not?
10124Why not?
10124Why not?
10124Why not?
10124Why were you not independent enough to earn your own living?
10124Why were you sent here into exile?
10124Why?
10124Why?
10124Will they continue this Grand Opera chorus all night?
10124Will they wear their revolvers at the dance?
10124Will we ever get back?
10124Would we care to ask him?
10124Would your English ladies at home consent to dance with armed men?
10124You wo n''t mind being left alone, will you?
10124You-- you are Mr. Jones, I believe, of-- of Boston?
10124You?
10124Air yeh prepared to pay fer thet order in solid cash?"
10124Am I now great?
10124And if I shed my gun what''s to prevent some one else getting the drop on me?"
10124And that''s a beginning, is n''t it?
10124And why should I do so?
10124Any milk?"
10124Are n''t they sweet, and do n''t they remind you of brides?"
10124But he''s a fine driver, is n''t he?"
10124But how about provisions?"
10124But what''s to prevent more of those vermin from crawling into the tent during the night?"
10124But why should it be?
10124But wo n''t you take one of my friends, also?
10124But your trouble is over now?"
10124Ca n''t you all see the change?"
10124Can you, John Merrick, sit there like a lump o''putty and do nothing, when your niece and my own darlin''Patsy is lost-- or strayed or stolen?"
10124Could this young fellow have really merited his fate?
10124Do n''t I know it?
10124Do n''t you realize, my dear, that this accident has probably deprived you of the means of earning a livelihood?"
10124Do you know, sir, I at first suspected you might be the missing uncle?
10124Do you want Mumbles in your lap?
10124Eh, Patsy?"
10124Eh, boys?"
10124Eh?
10124Eh?"
10124For what is wise?
10124For what?"
10124Grand?
10124Has the trip tired you, girls?"
10124Has your plan matured yet?"
10124Have n''t I proved it?
10124Have n''t they any gallantry?"
10124How can we best assist her?"
10124How did it get into your head, little one?"
10124How do you like it, dear?"
10124How was your own room, Wampus?"
10124I said he was eccentric, did I not?"
10124If it were, why should_ I_ come into your life just now?"
10124Is n''t the joy or sorrow equally divided in life?"
10124Is not Mister Algy his eye mos''beautiful blacked?"
10124Iss i d nod a crime-- a vickedness-- eh?"
10124It was beginning to grow dark, and Beth said, regretfully:"We must get back, girls, and dress for dinner-- an unusual luxury, is n''t it?
10124It''s well enough to feed ourselves, but what if we ran short of the precious feed for the engines?"
10124Jones?"
10124Just we three?"
10124Me?
10124My child, why are you so persistent?"
10124Not badly hurt, I hope, sir?"
10124Now tell me, Wampus: if I employ you will you be faithful and careful?
10124Now, my dears, what is it?"
10124Perhaps, after all, we should be thankful it''s only-- what''s his name?"
10124Rattlesnake soon eat Mumble up-- eh?
10124Sir, do the Major swear sometime?"
10124So the critic turned to his brother- in- law and asked:"Is it fully decided which way we shall go?"
10124Such being the circumstances, what would you advise?"
10124Then what am I to do?"
10124Then why do I sleep in front seat of motor car?"
10124Then, what_ shall_ I call you?"
10124Uncle John approached him and said:"Can you tell me, Mr. Ross, who the gentleman is in the corner?"
10124Vot I can do?
10124Vot can I do?
10124Vy nod?
10124What does it matter if my income is n''t invested properly, or the bond coupons cut when they''re due?
10124What else did Haggerty tell you?"
10124What happen to him?"
10124What is Mumbles doing?"
10124What more could we ask to see from any one viewpoint?"
10124What next, Major?"
10124What right have we to intrude upon them, then?"
10124What shall we do for Myrtle?
10124Whatever kept ye out''til this time o''night, Patsy darlin''?"
10124When do we make the start?"
10124When do you intend to start?"
10124Where did you find the thing so suddenly?"
10124Where''s the Major?"
10124Who is the host, Uncle John?"
10124Why do n''t you step out bravely into the roses and sunshine of life, and find the joy that has been denied you?"
10124Why not?
10124Why not?"
10124Why should I?
10124Will you do this?"
10124Wo n''t we, boys?"
10124Would you like to undertake this engagement?"
10124You stick violin bow in eye some day?"
10124You''ll get a big touring car, wo n''t you, Uncle John?"
10124exclaimed Wampus, nodding approvingly"You fight duel with him?
10124said Uncle John;"how could you be arrested for speeding when the automobile was on a fiat car?"
19023And what did you tell me-- she is Mrs. Hay''s niece? 19023 And what?"
19023And where are the others?
19023Any idea who they were?
19023Beg pardon, sir, but will the captain take my horse? 19023 But what became of him?
19023But you suspect-- whom?
19023By me? 19023 By you, do you mean?"
19023Can you see them still?
19023Did they-- were there any Indians-- killed?
19023Did ye get him, sorr,--afther all?
19023Did ye tell her I''d wait?
19023Did you see them yourself?
19023Field was constantly with her, was he? 19023 Has anything happened to-- start him since then?"
19023Have you anything to tell me, Field?
19023Have you ever seen that fellow before?
19023Have you two men who can ride hard a dozen miles or so-- and carry out their orders?
19023Hello, what have you there, corporal?
19023How far ahead, Murray?
19023How far, sergeant?
19023How old-- and what is she like, Dade?
19023How, John,said he, with an Irishman''s easy insolence,"Lookin''for a chance to steal somethin''--is it?"
19023In God''s name what do you mean?
19023Is he-- so much worse?
19023Is it true you have ordered him in irons and to Fort Rochambeau?
19023Is there nothing we can do?
19023Is-- Mr. Field going with Captain Ray?
19023Lame Wolf out? 19023 Lost anything, Captain Blake?"
19023Men look full of fight, do n''t they? 19023 Must they-- all know?"
19023No?
19023Shall I have out my sergeant and cooks at once? 19023 Simply because he took part with his people when your soldiers made war on them?"
19023Start!--Start for where?
19023Sure he dared me out, an''--what''s this he called me? 19023 Sure it was two men?"
19023Sure, how should I know him, sorr? 19023 That''s little Kennedy, is n''t it?
19023The desk has n''t been_ opened_?
19023The lieutenant''s safe all right,he muttered,"but what''s gone wid the squaw that was shoutin''Sioux at that murdherin''buck?"
19023Then how do you account for-- this?
19023Then where are you sending these?
19023To whom shall I turn over the post fund, sir?
19023Up? 19023 What brings them here?
19023What do you mean?
19023What else could it be?
19023What else could they do? 19023 What is it?"
19023What money?
19023What news, captain?
19023What''s that he said about eating your heart?
19023Where does he get them-- without waking you?
19023Where on earth did you meet him before?
19023Who are you?
19023Who could have done it, then?
19023Who rode the others, Field? 19023 Who was it, Kennedy?--and where did you ever see him before?"
19023Who''s we?
19023Why the stables?
19023You are all right now-- You can get back? 19023 You can be ready, can you not?"
19023You do n''t think him dangerously wounded, do you?
19023You must go, Gerald,she sobbed--"I know it, but-- isn''t there_ some_ way?--Won''t Captain Dade send more men with you?"
19023You saw it?
19023You will wait for the cavalry from Laramie, will you not, sir?
19023A dozen in sight?
19023Another long stare, then again--"Who the mischief can he be?"
19023But what had they taken?
19023But where on earth did all these rascals come from?
19023But who the mischief is that red villain opposing him?
19023Can you promise?"
19023Can you walk from here to Hay''s, I wonder?"
19023Could it be that the lad was unnerved by the sight?
19023D''you know the message that came to him this day?"
19023Did Miss Flower like to ride?
19023Did you meet no Indians?"
19023Do n''t you begin to see that the major was right in sending you out with us?"
19023Do you see, boy?"
19023Everybody knew it;--no one better than General Crook himself, and if he approved why should a junior disapprove?
19023Have n''t you seen her?
19023Have they-- ironed him-- yet?"
19023Hay?"
19023Her first thought was to scream for aid, but what aid could she summon?
19023How came they to send a raw rookie on such a quest?
19023How could a lad with all these sins upon his soul be in anything but low spirits?
19023How did-- he-- seem this morning?"
19023How happened it that the captain got so far ahead of him?
19023How''s your wound?
19023In honest soldier tones boomed out the query"What''s the matter, Six?"
19023Is n''t that Red Fox?"
19023Is n''t this Red Fox himself?"
19023It was to see this fellow, Moreau-- Eagle Wing-- whom you recognized at the Elk,--she was there so frequently-- was it not?"
19023It would take him but little from the direct line to the north, why not meet him and hear?
19023Jasper Strong, Valentine, Nebraska, the other to the general delivery, Omaha?
19023Might it not be well to wait until this important and influential personage had reached the post before proceeding further?
19023More than that-- Where''s Hay?"
19023Nearly time now, is n''t it?"
19023No?
19023Now, what d''ye know about this?"
19023Now,--was there anything of that kind left by the captain that-- someone may have needed?"
19023One significant question he asked: Did any of them know this new Major Flint?
19023Riding just by themselves or with others when they went out?"
19023She''s over here somewhere?"
19023Stabber''s people there yet?"
19023The latter was too weak in numbers to think of fighting on even terms, and as Ray seemed determined to come ahead, why not let him?
19023Then why, asked Fort Frayne, had they molested him-- and his?
19023They''ve got the captain----""What captain?"
19023What are we here for, Winsor?"
19023What became of the wine she had poured out?
19023What brought you back so soon?"
19023What could have been the object of their midnight search?
19023What did they do with him?"
19023What do they hope to get or gain?"
19023What is it, Hogan?"
19023What is the young lady''s name?"
19023What manner of girl was that, Field, for you to be mixed up with?"
19023What money had I?
19023What started the row?"
19023What''s a cavalryman for?
19023What''s she doing with a man''s?
19023What''s that?"
19023When are you going to try to get your cash to bank?"
19023When do you want this money?"
19023Where then was Nanette?
19023Where''d_ you_ steal your whiskey?"
19023Where''s the major?--I mean the captain?"
19023Who are our best shots on this front?"
19023Who could tell what the day might yet bring forth?
19023Who then could it be?
19023Who, then, were these others who had now totally disappeared?
19023Whoever dreamed that they would be of such consequence?
19023Will you order their immediate arrest?"
19023Wing, are you hit?"
19023Yet, when investigated, this proved to be the case, and the further question arose, where did McGann get his whiskey?
19023You''ve been drinking, have n''t you?"
19023You''ve seen her then this morning?
19023and what could it mean, this coming of a strange courier from a direction so far to the east of the travelled road?
19023he asked, at length,"and what on earth are you doing out here this time of night?"
19023the vine twigs in that"quare"made skirt never worn by day?
19023what''s this I''m sayin''?"
14542About how many do you think there are here?
14542About how soon,he insinuated,"can you be ready?"
14542Ai n''t it fierce?
14542Ai n''t she a peach? 14542 Ai n''t she asked yuh yet?"
14542Ai n''t there any joints in your arms?
14542Ai n''t there anything to give him?
14542Ai n''t yuh got any sense at all?
14542And anyway, something sure got wrong with Weary; do yuh suppose he''d give up Glory deliberately? 14542 And she-- she said you had to leave home-- in the night--""Oh, she did, eh?
14542And whereabouts will I find this lovely specimen uh manhood?
14542And you married Spikes; what can_ I_ do about it?
14542Are yuh a low- down, lying sneak of a woman- fighter, that ai n''t got nerve enough to stand up square to a ten- year- old boy?
14542Are yuh happy to meet Milk River Pink?
14542Are yuh hurt, Irish?
14542Are yuh whipped to a finish, so that yuh do n''t want any more trouble with anybody?
14542Because you found him? 14542 Bronco- buster?"
14542But I knew you''d come back when you heard I-- Have-- have you seen Spikes, Ira?
14542But what about the rest oh the bunch?
14542Ca n''t we turn her loose, Girlie?
14542Ca n''t yuh dig a little speed into that cayuse with your heels, Dock?
14542D''yuh think that critter will quit the bunch ag''in to- night?
14542Did he bring the horses?
14542Did you carry it in your arms, or--"The calf? 14542 Did you?"
14542Did yuh say your name was Ira Mallory, and do yuh mind how they used to mix us up in school, when we were both kids? 14542 Do n''t you want to ride Glory a ways?
14542Do n''t yuh see? 14542 Do yuh know where we''re headed for?"
14542Do yuh see that bunch uh red loco over there by the organ?
14542Does one man own all those cows?
14542Down the creek a piece-- yuh mind where that old sandbar runs half across? 14542 Feel all right, Chip?"
14542Feel bad anywhere?
14542Going to work for the outfit?
14542Got anything yuh want to bet on that?
14542Happy, how many horses did yuh ride out to camp?
14542Have you forgotten how to_ waltz_, Will? 14542 Have yuh got a written guarantee from Glory, that he''ll run?"
14542He wo n''t let his gun get empty-- see? 14542 He''s sure tearing it off in large chunks, ai n''t he?
14542Hey? 14542 How did yuh like the dance?"
14542How do you spell that second shift?
14542How do yuh stack up?
14542How long is Myrt going to stay?
14542How many times must I say I''m sorry, Schoolma''am? 14542 How yuh coming?"
14542How yuh was, already, Dutchy? 14542 How''s everything?
14542I feel as if-- what''s that?
14542I guess I''d better go after him; what do yuh think?
14542I wonder who those silver- mounted spurs are for, there on the tree? 14542 I''m both him, am I?"
14542If it is n''t too personal-- er-- is there a-- that is, are you----"An outlaw?
14542Is he dead?
14542Is n''t Johnny here, yet?
14542Is that something nice, Girlie?
14542Maybe-- but--"Do yuh think we are n''t well enough acquainted?
14542Never saw so many cattle in one bunch before, did yuh?
14542Not toward Len Adams, were you?
14542Now, would n''t that jostle yuh? 14542 Now, would n''t that jostle yuh?"
14542Say hello to me-- won''t you, Girlie?
14542Say--Pink''s fists kneaded energetically Cal''s suffering diaphragm.--"are yuh-- all-- ba- a- d?"
14542Say, Weary,spoke up Jack Bates,"ai n''t there going to be any female girls in this opera troupe?"
14542Say, ca n''t we cut out the welcome and sail in anyway? 14542 Say, how do yuh stack up, Cal?"
14542Say, what was that yarn Myrt Forsyth told yuh about me?
14542Say, who the devil are yuh anyhow?
14542Say, you never heard me sing, did yuh? 14542 Say,"he began in the sunny, drawly voice that was good to hear,"what''s the joke?"
14542Sick, Bill?
14542Uh course we''ll get through-- we''ve_ got_ to; what d''yuh suppose we''ve been tearing the bone out for the last three weeks for?
14542Watch the way his jaw hangs down, will yuh? 14542 We told Patsy we''d run onto a-- den--""Oh, shut up, ca n''t yuh?"
14542We''ve got to be there by ten o''clock, so as to help the girls cut the cake and round up all the ham sandwiches; have n''t we, Weary?
14542Weary Davidson, how long have you been standing there? 14542 Well, are n''t you going to_ do_ anything?"
14542Well, are yuh going to?
14542Well, how the deuce would he come by a Rocking R horse? 14542 Well?"
14542Wha- at?
14542What did you mean, a while back, about me sneaking away from Chadville? 14542 What do_ you_ know about horses?"
14542What horse are you going to take?
14542What if I''d kept on being a fool-- and had n''t come back at all, Girlie?
14542What made yuh chase me off?
14542What must I do?
14542What particular brand of hell has he been making for you?
14542What purpose? 14542 What the devil''s the matter with that hot water?"
14542What went with it, Cal?
14542What''n thunder do I want to go t''camp for?
14542What''re them?
14542What''s good for tincaneetis, I wonder?
14542What''s the matter? 14542 What''s the matter?"
14542What''s wrong with Weary? 14542 What-- can-- you-- do-- about it?
14542Where did yuh pluck that modest flower, Chip?
14542Which end of a jag is this?
14542Who are_ you_ going to take, Weary?
14542Who''ll push, when the school- ma''am wants to swing? 14542 Who''ll stir the lemonade and help pass the sandwiches?"
14542Who''s going to pilot the schoolma''am?
14542Why did n''t he come out with you, then?
14542Why do n''t you give it up, then, and get a position at something else?
14542Why do n''t yuh throw it out uh yuh, yuh big, long- jawed croaker?
14542Why poor fellow?
14542Why that elaborate disguise of respectability?
14542Why, do n''t you_ know_? 14542 Why, yuh going to pull out while your hide''s whole?"
14542Will yuh be my friend? 14542 With the door shut and locked?"
14542Would it stand without being tied?
14542Ye- e- s?
14542You are n''t a train- robber or a horsethief, or-- anything, are you?
14542You knew him before tonight?
14542You see dass? 14542 You see?"
14542You used to know her?
14542You''d go, would n''t you, if I was-- well, say your brother?
14542You''re hurt, somehow, ai n''t yuh?
14542Your pinto''ll lead, wo n''t he?
14542Yours played out?
14542Yuh will try to fool your betters, will yuh?
14542Yuh wo n''t crawfish on me, if I tell yuh?
14542Yuh would, eh?
14542_ Did_ you?
14542_ Knew_ him? 14542 Ai n''t Shorty here, yet?
14542Ai n''t he had plenty uh time t''foller me out and enjoy his little joke?
14542Ai n''t you one uh them?"
14542Ai n''t yuh got any manners?
14542And being lectured was not at all what he had expected from the schoolma''am-- and who can fathom the mind of a man?
14542And how did yuh happen to have your dances booked forty- in- advance, the other night?
14542And just how much did he mean by being due to drift?
14542And what makes yuh so mean to me, lately?
14542And where''d he git that horse?
14542And why had she been so utterly hateful, after waiting and watching, night after night, for him to come?
14542And will yuh take a jaunt over Eagle Butte way with me next Sunday-- if I can get off?"
14542Are punchers so damn scarce in this neck uh the woods, that yuh''ve got to shanghai a man in order to make a full crew?"
14542Are you going to leave me to bear Spikes''abuse always?"
14542Are you-- but of_ course_ you must be_ acquainted_ with him, living in the same_ neighborhood_?"
14542Back to stay?"
14542But they''ll think-- it''s just drowning, if they do n''t find-- me with a bullet or two-- Ca n''t yuh_ see_?"
14542But--""Maybe,"hazarded Weary mildly,"you''d kinda like to see--_her_--a widow?"
14542By the way, how shall I write you on the book?"
14542Ca n''t yuh see-- how I feel?
14542Davidson?"
14542Did he"--she spoke solemnly--"did he_ mur- r_der ten people, old men and children, and throw their bodies into-- a_ well_?"
14542Did n''t he get pretty hungry?"
14542Did you come back to ask me that?"
14542Do brothers always act like this?"
14542Do yah suppose yuh could find a horse if he was staked ten feet in front of your nose?
14542Do yuh like that name?
14542Do yuh think it drips sweetness and poetry, like a card uh honey?"
14542Got an outfit?"
14542Got any pie in this man''s cow- camp?"
14542Has it been that long?"
14542Hasn''t-- hasn''t it_ followed_ him?"
14542Have him saddled up right away, will yuh?
14542How do you like her?"
14542How else would I carry it?"
14542How often can you come and rehearse?"
14542How''s everything?"
14542I came by here last night at five minutes after four, and you were n''t in sight anywhere; was yesterday a holiday?"
14542I hope this is quite plain to you?"
14542I''m hard to kill, or I''d have been-- dead-- What I want to know-- will yuh do what I-- said?
14542If I should dance with you again,--_did_ I dance with you?"
14542Is Weary sick?"
14542Is he balky?"
14542Is it very hard work?"
14542Is-- is my hat on crooked, or-- or anything?"
14542It was the one beginning, according to Cal''s version: Twinkle, Twinkle little star, What in thunder are you at?
14542It wo n''t go off sudden and unexpected, will it?
14542Now, where''d yuh get off at?"
14542Or Len Adams?
14542Out of some old Indian grave?
14542Percival Cadwolloper-- what?"
14542Say, did yuh ever hear uh old Eagle Creek Smith, of the Cross L, or Rowdy Vaughan, or a fellow up on Milk River they call Pink?"
14542See?
14542Seeing they mentioned her, would some of them tell her hello for him-- and so long?
14542Shall I get yuh something to take with it?"
14542So I say again, what can_ I_ do about it?"
14542Still, how could he be expected to know what the blamed stuff was?
14542The schoolma''am?
14542The wind came and fluttered her skirts--"What''s the matter, Bill?
14542They''ve been put on since this afternoon-- can''t yuh stretch your neck enough to read the name, Cal?
14542Think we''ll be in time to help Patsy?
14542Thump me with a rope, will yuh?"
14542Was it at a dance?
14542Was it poker, or billiards?
14542Was it possible Weary was acquiring an irritable temper?
14542Weary drunk?
14542Weary loadin''me, was he?
14542Weary?"
14542Well, and where were yuh cached last Sunday?"
14542Were you ever lynched?"
14542What could a man do after a hint as broad as that one?
14542What for do you dees t''ing?
14542What the devil d''yuh want to look so much like me, for?
14542What the dickens ails you fellows, anyhow?
14542What would it profit him to argue with a drunken man?
14542What you two gazabos making medicine about?"
14542What yuh going to do about it?
14542What''s your trade?"
14542When did_ you_ get back?"
14542When was he coming back?
14542When''s the stage due, tomorrow, Oldtimer?"
14542Where d''yuh suppose the bunch is by this time?"
14542Where did yuh resurrect it?
14542Why are n''t you in town, celebrating?
14542Why?"
14542Will yuh bury me-- right here-- and keep it-- quiet?"
14542Will yuh let me lean on yuh in my dark hours?"
14542Would those children never start home?
14542You can take it for granted we''ll do what we can for yuh; the question is,_ what_?
14542You will, wo n''t you?"
14542You would n''t get mad at a little thing like that, would yuh?"
14542Yuh know what Cadwallader means, in the dictionary?"

14542_ You_ cuff my ears proper?

14542or because he is here?"
16608''Ai n''t Miss Doc bin told-- and her the only decent woman in the camp?
16608''Ai n''t we all laughed at them things enough to suit you yit?
16608''Ai n''t you got him, boys-- all the time?
16608Ai n''t got the stuff, hey?

16608And what''s catechism?
16608Are you plum dead sure he''s went?
16608Are you plum dead sure he''s went?
16608Boys,cried Jim, as he hastened towards the group,"has any one seen little Skeezucks?
16608Bread and milk?
16608Broke, I s''pose? 16608 Bruvver Jim?"
16608But what about that rich brown gravy?
16608But what''s the little youngster''s name?
16608But who?
16608But-- what can I do?
16608But-- where are we likely to find accommodations?
16608But-- you''ll bring him back in the spring, of course?
16608Ca n''t you come to, long enough to eat?
16608Can you do it any better?
16608Could n''t you hold on jest a week or two and see if he wo n''t get over thinkin''''bout the little gals?
16608Did he bring a nightie?
16608Did n''t you find little Skeezucks?
16608Did she scare the boy?
16608Did you come down here to tell me right to my face I stole from your dirty little shanty?
16608Did you look all over the cabin?
16608Did you think old brother Jim was lost? 16608 Do n''t you know she''d be dead sure to play a trick like that?"
16608Do n''t you know the presents all belong to little Carson?
16608Do n''t you like him any more?
16608Do n''t you see she could n''t do anything else, bein''a woman?
16608Do n''t you want to hear it go?
16608Do n''t you?
16608Do you like old brother Jim and the pup?
16608Do you like that little dog?
16608Do you think he runs a pawn- shop, Field?
16608Do you want him to come here and play?
16608Do you want to give her a name?
16608Does he savvy shakin''hands?
16608Does he think Miss Doc can git the little feller fixed all up to celebrate to- night?
16608Does little pardner like the pup?
16608Does, hey?
16608Found him-- out in the brush?
16608Guess that''s so, but-- who wants church?
16608Has he got any name?
16608Has she gone for good?
16608Have you got a name?
16608He ai n''t agoin''to be right down sick, of course?
16608He could n''t git grub here now for no money-- savvy?
16608He''s alive? 16608 How about that, Keno?"
16608How can I?
16608How da''st you come in my kitchen with your dirty boots?
16608How did Parky happen to tell you his intentions?
16608How do you do it?
16608How does he know it''s a doll?
16608How does she go?
16608How many kinds is there?
16608How''d you make it?
16608How''s he feelin''?
16608How''s the little shaver?
16608How?
16608Howdy, stranger?
16608I s''pose we''d better begin to invite all the boys?
16608If the father came and took the little shaver, do you think he''d hide him''round here in somebody''s cabin?
16608If they do n''t get their fun when they''re little, why, when is it ever goin''to come? 16608 If you did n''t do it, who would?"
16608Is he gittin''hungry? 16608 Is it a hopeless case?"
16608Is n''t Carson a sweet little boy, mammy? 16608 Is that a doll?"
16608Is that the bill of fare?
16608Is there any hotel or boarding- house in camp?
16608Is there anything the baby wants?
16608Is''Nuisance''all the name the baby''s got?
16608It would n''t be so far off the mark for a little kid like him,tentatively asserted Field, the father of the camp,"S''pose we give it a shot?"
16608Jim, how you goin''?
16608Jim, what we goin''to do?
16608Jim, you do n''t suppose his father, or some one who lost him, come and nabbed him while you was gone?
16608Jim, you said the little feller kin talk?
16608Jim,he said,"what about poor little Skeezucks?
16608Jim,said Stowe, in the easy way so quickly adopted in the mines,"how does the camp happen to have this one little child?
16608Jim,she said, in a voice that shook with emotion,"do you think I''m a kind enough woman?"
16608Jim,she said,"if you think you kin, anyhow, git that Injun stuff, why do n''t you go and git it?"
16608Kin he read an''write?
16608Little Skeezucks, who made you?
16608Me? 16608 Miss Doc?"
16608Natchelly, we''d better go on, gittin''ready fer the banquet? 16608 No?
16608Nobody wants you, little boy? 16608 Not home?"
16608Now what are you needin''at the shack?
16608Nuisance?
16608Oh,said Jim, instantly relieved,"is that all?"
16608Out in the hills-- in this?
16608Parky, hey?
16608S''posen she seen me?
16608S''posen she''ai n''t?
16608S''posen we do n''t have turkey and cranberry sauce and a big mince- pie?
16608Scared? 16608 Skeezucks, do you want the little girls to play with all the things?"
16608So the little feller said nobody wanted him, did he?
16608So?
16608Stole him?
16608Then what more would the baby like?
16608Then why not have the tree down yonder, into Webber''s shop, same as church?
16608Then you ai n''t agoin''to take him down to the tree?
16608Then, kin he walk?
16608Tintoretto?
16608Want it, Skeezucks?
16608Want some breakfast, all pretty, in our own little house?
16608Was he all alone?
16608Well, about how far you goin''?
16608Well, not exactly-- is there, Webber?
16608Well, what you goin''to do with him, Jim?
16608What about your mine?
16608What are you goin''to do fer a turkey?
16608What day is to- day?
16608What do you take us fellers fer-- since little Skeezucks came to camp? 16608 What does baby want old Jim to do?"
16608What fer did you ever call him that?
16608What for?
16608What happened?
16608What have you got? 16608 What is it?"
16608What is your nice little name?
16608What kin we do?
16608What kind of a calamity?
16608What kind of a mongrel is he, anyway?
16608What kind?
16608What sort of a celebration is there that we''ai n''t never had in Borealis?
16608What time do you think you''ll fetch the little shaver, then, this afternoon?
16608What was it?
16608What we goin''to put our offerings into?
16608What would be the good of that?
16608What would little Skeezucks like for his Christmas?
16608What would little Skeezucks like old brother Jim to make for breakfast?
16608What would little Skeezucks like?
16608What you goin''to do with Tinterretter?
16608What you up to, young feller, sittin''here by yourself?
16608What''s he got to cry about, now he''s here in Borealis?
16608What''s his name?
16608What''s his name?
16608What''s that?
16608What''s that?
16608What''s the fight?
16608What''s the matter with Washington''s birthday?
16608What''s the matter with a good old home- made name like Si or Hank or Zeke?
16608What''s the matter with it?
16608What''s the matter with me namin''you, hey? 16608 What''s the matter with repeatin''the programme we had for the Fourth of July?"
16608What''s the matter with''Swing Low, Sweet Cheery O''?
16608What''s the matter? 16608 What''s the matter?"
16608What''s went wrong?
16608Whatever do you want in my house at this time of mornin'', you Jim lazy- joints?
16608Where did you come from, pardner, anyhow?
16608Where''s Shorty Hobb with his fiddle?
16608Where''s your old one went?
16608Where''s your old one?
16608Where?
16608Who gets the collection?
16608Who''d be preacher?
16608Why ca n''t she come?
16608Why not call me gently?
16608Why not give''em''Down on the Swanee River''?
16608Why not now?
16608Why not wait till Christmas and git good and ready?
16608Why not?
16608Why, where was you and Keno?
16608Will you let us know?
16608Would n''t you rather I''d stay home and git the breakfast?
16608Would you keep it, sure, and feed it to''em all the same?
16608Y- e- s, but would it be just the tip- toppest, tippe- bob- royal of a place?
16608Yes, what''s the little shaver''s name?
16608You ai n''t goin''to hit the pie with your pick?
16608You could n''t bring yourself to that?
16608You do n''t mean, Jim, you found him jest a- settin''right in the bresh, with them dead jack- rabbits lyin''all''round?
16608You do n''t really think he''d up and die?
16608You do n''t s''pose mebbe he''s lost?
16608You do n''t s''pose that Parky might have took him, out of spite?
16608You do n''t think he''s sick?
16608You got anything to say about the biz?
16608You have to have lemon extract-- you know that?
16608You''ll let me wrap him up real warm?
16608Your little boy?
16608And ai n''t that dolly nice?"
16608And bein''undergrowed, why, how could he go on a rabbit- drive along with the Injuns?
16608And you got left?"
16608And you kin jest clear out o''my house, do you hear?
16608Any one remember the words all straight?"
16608Anyway, you''ai n''t yet told us his name, and how kin any little shaver walk which ai n''t got a name?"
16608Are there any objections?
16608Baby boy,"he said, in a gentle way of his own,"who is it makes everything?--who makes all the lovely things in the world?"
16608Baby want anything else?"
16608Contrary minded?
16608Could n''t drink the coffee or go the beans?
16608Could n''t you get me a horse?
16608Did you want to go home and get some bread and milk?"
16608Do you fellers think we''d ought to git up a party and take''em all to Fremont, as soon as they''re able to stand the trip?"
16608Do you think you could put up with him-- and with me?"
16608Does pardner want some breakfast?"
16608He''ll be all right fer to- morrow?"
16608How do you know?"
16608How long do you think it will take you to put us in shape?"
16608Injun, what''s your name?"
16608Is these here over- halls your''n?"
16608Jim said,"What do you s''pose he''s wearin''pants for, if he could n''t?"
16608Jim, what you got to say''bout the subject?"
16608Jim, wherever did you git him?"
16608Now, the question is, what we goin''for to do?
16608Now, then, all together--''Darling--''Why do n''t you all git in?"
16608Say, you''ai n''t been left here for good?
16608She''s all lit up, and the doors all shut to make it dark, and you bet she''s a gem-- a gorgeous gem-- ain''t she, fellers?"
16608So you wo n''t bring him down this mornin''?"
16608Suppose I call you Aborigineezer?
16608That it?
16608The teamster inquired,"Why do n''t Jim git any more grub?"
16608Then Jim said,"Was it all the hair- oil I had?"
16608There are stables where I can put up the horses, of course?"
16608There seem to be no families, and that I can understand, for Bullionville is much the same; but where did you get the pretty little boy?"
16608Time for breakfast?"
16608Want to come with me and ride on the outside seat to Borealis?"
16608What about the horse, Jim, if it starts to snow?"
16608What did I do with my pick?"
16608What do you say?
16608What hymn do you fellows prefer?"
16608What in mischief do you think you''re doin''here?"
16608What was the good of digging here?
16608What''s he got-- a rabbit?"
16608What''s the matter with me and the pup?"
16608Where could we have it?"
16608Where do you s''pose he come from first?
16608Where should he go, and how could he go, did he wish to leave?
16608Which opening do all you fellers prefer?"
16608Why could n''t the hill break open, anyhow, and show whether anything worth the having were contained in its bulk or not?
16608Why do n''t you git up and cook your breakfast?"
16608Would little Skeezucks like a train of cars?"
16608You fellows are sure you ai n''t a- foolin''?"
16608Young feller, where''d you come from, hey?
16608cried Miss Doc, and, running forward, she threw her arm around his waist to keep him up, for she thought he must fall at every step,"He''s-- alive?"
16608he would say, in his questioning little voice--"Bruvver Jim?"
16608what do you think?"
12663''S that what you call all that ridin''and shootin''we done, that you said was by moonlight?
12663Ai n''t no law ag''in it, is there?
12663Ai n''t they good?
12663And please may I wipe off my eyebrows?
12663Andy, are you boys going to talk all night?
12663Andy, did you go and take that shelf after all?
12663Another one of your Big Minutes?
12663Any particular place?
12663Are n''t you boys going to eat any dinner?
12663Are n''t you going to take a note?
12663Are they all farmers, same as you-- these boys you mention?
12663Are you sure an Indian wrote it, Luck Lindsay?
12663Are yuh game to try her a whirl? 12663 Aw, who''s said anything about backing out?"
12663Aw-- where does Soul of Littlefoot Law come in at?
12663Ca n''t they stay on with the Acme? 12663 Can you figure where it will be to their advantage for you to refuse a good position just because they happen to be out of work?"
12663Dammit, who''s running this company-- you or I?
12663Did n''t I tell you how it would be?
12663Did n''t you hear me tell you to keep out around the cattle?
12663Did n''t you hear the boss tell ye to git outa the way, both of yuh? 12663 Did you get the barrels fixed like I said?"
12663Do I get you as meaning to stick with me-- wherever I go?
12663Do I go on with the work, or do n''t I?
12663Eat? 12663 Ever read any of Bently Brown''s stories?
12663Ever see a real, dyed- in- the- wool, Indian letter? 12663 Ever try syrup on''em?"
12663Got all your stuff out from town?
12663Got the receipts? 12663 Has Applehead gone as crazy as his cat?
12663Have you made any agreement with them in regard to placing them with another company-- for instance?
12663How close?
12663How long do you think this storm will last, Applehead?
12663How long have you had that notion in your head,--showing the picture to the Cattlemen''s Convention? 12663 How the devil am I going to send him any positive prints at ten cents a foot or ten cents an inch or any other price?
12663How you know you work for me?
12663How''d we stack up this time, boss? 12663 How''s a storm goin''to hit ye, Luck?"
12663How,_ Cola_?
12663Huh? 12663 I''m to film Bently Brown''s blood- and- battle stuff, am I?"
12663Is that the way you make moving pictures, hind- side- foremost?
12663Joke? 12663 Just in a general way, what happens to folks that lie to you deliberate, when you meet''em again?
12663Kinda put a stop to the pitcher business, wo n''t it?
12663Left when you did, I suppose?
12663Luck? 12663 Martinson?
12663Me? 12663 Me?
12663My brother say where you go with our cattle?
12663Not Spanish, then?
12663Now, what do you know about that, Mig?
12663Oh, why could n''t you boys do that?
12663Plumb spoiled, d''yuh mean?
12663Punch? 12663 Remember the panoram effect I got on that massacre of the wagon train?
12663Say, boss, when do we eat?
12663Say, do I get it right that you''re in the movies?
12663Say, old- timer, what''s gone with all the cattle and all the punchers?
12663Say, what does that there walka- some- darn- thing mean, that she calls yuh?
12663Seems to lack action, do n''t it?
12663Send Applehead out here, will you?
12663She did n''t come any too soon, did she?
12663These boys-- have they any resources at all, other than their work in pictures? 12663 Think we''ll be through in time?"
12663Twentieth uh March-- hm- mm? 12663 Us?
12663Wagalexa Conka?
12663Want the rest of us to work on that stage, do n''t you, boss?
12663Want to rehearse it first?
12663Was that Bently Brown? 12663 We want to know what town was peeled so they could set the rind up like that and call it a street?
12663We''re to stay right here, then?
12663Well, boss, how about it?
12663Well, the point is this: Why not all put in what you can, and just go out where there are cattle, and make your Big Picture, Luck Lindsay? 12663 Well, what do you think of it?"
12663Well, why do n''t you let her stay?
12663Well,he finished after the pause,"does she stay or go?"
12663Well?
12663What about our range picture?
12663What ails the darned thing?
12663What can a fellow do?
12663What day uh the month is this?
12663What dee- tails was them?
12663What do you suppose streaked it like that?
12663What end of the business do you know?
12663What is this,_ amigo_?
12663What kinda hee- ro will your Tracy Gray Joyce look like, when I start up foamin''and gloatin''at him?
12663What you want?
12663What yuh up to this time, boy? 12663 What yuh want?"
12663What yuh want?
12663What''s he mean--''sue the company''?
12663What''s the matter with the sun, now?
12663What''s the matter? 12663 What''s up to me?"
12663What''s wrong?
12663Where would you go to find them boys now?
12663Where''s Tracy Gray Joyce?
12663Where''s my bag? 12663 Where''s your rest coming in at?"
12663Who gives a cuss how it struck you personally?
12663Why did n''t you say so?
12663Why did n''t you say that you were turning that stuff into farce- comedy?
12663Why do n''t you make a squaw- man outa Dave?
12663Why do n''t you send him what you took to the Convention?
12663Why twenty years ago?
12663Why you say that?
12663Would you have to sell it, Luck? 12663 Yeah-- what about this here Great Western gitting its loop on you first thing?"
12663You got plenty more Indian girls?
12663You say you was told that the Flying U outfit has got some real ones?
12663You think I so homely I spoil your picture?
12663You think me not good- looking any more?
12663You wall- eyed, mangy, rat- eatin''son of a gun, what have I been feedin''yuh fur all these years? 12663 _ Adonde va V con mi vaca_?"
12663_ Quien sabe_?
12663_ Quire cafe_?
12663_ Y''ai n''t_?
12663''Nother wild- west show?"
12663Ai n''t that right?"
12663Ai n''t yuh got a purty fair pitcher the way she stands?"
12663And I ai n''t going to advertise myself as a bum operator, am I?
12663And I''m going to open up a picture house next week in this town, ai n''t I?
12663And do you think I''ve been driving that stagecoach hell- bent from here to beyond because I''d no other way to kill time?
12663And how, in the name of destitution, was he going to pay for that stock of"positive"when it came?
12663And if the weather holds good, we''ll just make a long hard drive of this bunch of drivel; we''ll rush''em through-- sabe?
12663And shall I put these inside for you?"
12663And that eye- rolling, limp sentimentalist, Lenore Honiwell, as his leading woman?
12663And the war dance with radium flares in the camp fires to give the light- effect?
12663And why had he chosen Tracy Gray Joyce as leading man?
12663And with that for a starter, I''m going to show the real range; the_ real_ range-- get that, boys?
12663And--""And grind our daylights out again on that there drum that never does git wound up?"
12663Any other news?"
12663Anyway, what''s the word?
12663BLEAK MESA-- CATTLE DRIFTING BEFORE WIND--"XIV"PLUMB SPOILED, D''YUH MEAN?"
12663Biggest one was that I wanted to be sure of having it all made, in case something went wrong on that feature drive; get me?
12663CHAPTER FOURTEEN"PLUMB SPOILED, D''YUH MEAN?"
12663Call Happy and Bud back, will you, and have them roll this barrel of developer out and ditch it?
12663Can you beat that?
12663Come and see me day after to- morrow, will you?
12663Comin'', Luck?"
12663Could Luck arrange to meet Dewitt at four that afternoon?
12663Could he never get that look off Luck''s face?
12663Could n''t we squeak along without that?"
12663Cutting out salaries and all such little luxuries, what would the actual expenses be-- making a rough guess?"
12663Did they burn their bridges when they came with you?"
12663Did you come away out here in the rain to insult us fellers?"
12663Did you make up, as I told you?"
12663Did you put the proposition up to him as I suggested?"
12663Do n''t you fel--""The which?"
12663Do n''t you think so, Mig?
12663Do you get that?"
12663Do you know what made that picture such a scream?
12663Do you mean to tell me you''re afraid to stake me to enough money to make El Paso and return?
12663Do you realize that the donations these boys have made already amounts to over fifteen hundred dollars?
12663Do you remember the time we hitched that big bronk up with old Wall- eye, to haul water?
12663Do you see what I mean?
12663Do you think for one minute, Mrs. Bennett, that I''d coax the Kid away?
12663Do you think we are a bunch of quitters?
12663Dry Lake?
12663Ever notice that when you ca n''t get anything but the crudest kind of tools to work with, you generally have to use them yourself?
12663Ever notice that?
12663Four, or five?
12663Get it surfaced one side,--fourteen- foot boards, sabe?
12663Get that as a title?"
12663Get that?"
12663Got any bones or scraps left, Mrs. Andy?
12663Green?"
12663H- m- m. That was the bunch that Luck Lindsay had done so much bragging about, and called"real boys,"was it?
12663Have n''t got a job for a fellow, have you?"
12663Have you got a real puncher amongst that outfit of long- haired hayseeds?"
12663He''s always been with grown- ups, and his mind has developed away ahead of the calendar; you see what I mean?
12663His title--"What-- that you, Luck?"
12663How about this here killin''Pink off every oncet in a while?"
12663How about you, Pink?
12663How are yuh, boy?
12663How many have you made, so far?"
12663How many was it I murdered in cold blood, in that there scene where I laid''em out with black powder?
12663How much do you figure it would cost to make our Big Picture?
12663How''s he going to keep that there Adam''s apple from shootin''clean up through his hair, and his knees from wobblin''?
12663How''s that for luck, boys?"
12663How''s that for luck?"
12663I know old Applehead Forrman like I know my right hand; we''d make Applehead''s place our headquarters-- see?
12663I want this cavalry--""There ai n''t any close- ups of cavalry, are there?"
12663I''ll bet--""So Doctor Dell went and got around you, did she?
12663I''m director of our company till I quit-- see?
12663I''m positive I can shoot and wring my hands at the same time in a Bently Brown story, ca n''t I, Luck?"
12663I''m responsible for her--_sabe?_ Bill Holmes, you get this; I saw you eyeing her pretty strong.
12663I''ve been keeping it here in the house where it''s warm, and I took it out into the cold and started work--_sabe_?
12663If I knew for sure it''s going to storm--""I''m tellin''yuh it is, ai n''t I?"
12663Is it any wonder, then, if the camera man and the assistants should exchange puzzled glances when Luck put the Happy Family through their scenes?
12663Is it true?
12663Is that where I got shot off''n my horse, and Bud, here, done his best to run over me?"
12663Lindsay?"
12663Luck Lindsay''s your name, ai n''t it?
12663Luck''s got to have a shelf; you do n''t expect him to keep all his junk on the floor, do you?
12663Make your lead a victim of card sharps, why do n''t you, and have his sister come there after him?
12663Most of his boys is with him yet, they tell me--""What they doing?
12663My Lord, boys, how long does it take you fellows to get your make- up off?
12663Of all the idiotic, fool--""What kinda brain do you think you''ve got in your head, anyway?"
12663Pink suggested boldly,"and let her be his daughter instead of Rosemary?"
12663Reels?
12663Remember Red Brother?"
12663Remember that time?"
12663Remember the council- of- war scene, and the close- up of Young- Dog- Howls- At- The- Moon making his plea for the lives of the prisoners?
12663Sabe?
12663Say?
12663Shall we let her stay or not?
12663So here''s the way the story runs:""Say, boss, make it short and sweet, ca n''t you?"
12663Spoil something?"
12663Starting off suddenly in this wise:"Say, Luck, why do n''t you have--?"
12663Still riding?"
12663Still--"Say, brother, what''s the Flying U''s home town?"
12663That do n''t mean forty- nine-- get me?
12663That does n''t mean you''ll have to use it for that purpose-- sabe?
12663That right?"
12663That right?"
12663That sounds simple enough, does n''t it?
12663The dried little man?
12663These two farmers?
12663They''ve got one that-- what would you call Big Medicine, if you wanted to name him quick and easy, Andy?"
12663Think we never set into a poker game in our lives?
12663Think we''re in the habit of hollerin''for our chips back when we lose?
12663This the lenses?
12663Well, what''s the word, boys?
12663What do you think of a fellow like that, boys?
12663What have you fellows been doing?"
12663What if the Kid should run away?
12663What reel is that you''re on now?
12663What wind blowed you into camp?
12663What''s statics?"
12663What''s the decision?"
12663What''s the matter with yuh, anyway?"
12663What''s your next best bet?"
12663What, for Lordy sake, you wasting time on this little old hasbeen burg for?
12663What, for the Lord''s sake, do I look like, anyway,--a crook?"
12663What_ are_ you around here-- a man in authority, or just a dummy made up to look like one?
12663Where are the things?
12663Where are they?
12663Where did you see the picture?"
12663Where do you expect me to put things?
12663Where is she?"
12663Where''s the rest of the bunch?"
12663Who said we was goin''home?"
12663Why do n''t you leave the hotel, and come out here and batch with us, Luck?
12663Why keep a bunch of Indians around eating up profits?
12663Will you help me wind the film on my patent rack, Andy?
12663Would Luck consider taking the company and going on with the big five- reel feature which Burns had just begun?
12663You have a close squeak yourself, see?
12663You know we all--""What did Bently Brown say?
12663You live in Albuquerque, perhaps?"
12663You mind what Wagalexa Conka say?"
12663You say it was shipped the sixteenth?
12663You see?
12663You tell him-- make a clean breast of your rustling, see?
12663You try to save him,_ sabe_?
12663You understand?"
12663You''re going to have me named in your write- ups as the movie- man that run this show for the convention, ai n''t you?
12663You''re holding''em in a box canyon,--I know the spot, all right,--waiting for a chance to drive them outa the country; see?
12663Yuh taking this train?"
12663_ Quien sabe_?"
12663_ Sabe_?"
12663_ Sabe_?"
12663any of you fellows handy with hammer and saw?"
12663was that a joke?"
17477''You wantin''a gun?'' 17477 A little thin and peaked; but otherwise all right, eh?"
17477A written agreement?
17477A written agreement?
17477Am I ugly?
17477An''Simmons?
17477And it was crude work, too-- wasn''t it, Lawler? 17477 And now?"
17477And the two men?
17477And what did Warden offer?
17477And you are willing to swear to that?
17477Are you runnin''my affairs? 17477 Are you wantin''me to put''em through, or are we takin''two days to it, as usual?"
17477Been in town long?
17477Blackburn,said Lawler gravely;"do you know of any other trail?"
17477But how,she questioned, her hands still on his shoulders, her eyes wide and questioning;"how did you happen to go to the Two Bar?"
17477But if there are no cars?
17477But perhaps Gary Warden''s business methods are different?
17477But suppose Warden has changed his mind?
17477Character, I suppose,she mocked;"nobility, virtue?"
17477Come a- visitin'', Lawler?
17477Consignin''''em to who?
17477Cut your fence, eh?
17477Cuttin''fences, eh?
17477Dave Singleton, Lefingwell''s old range boss?
17477Della Wharton did n''t come?
17477Della,she called;"do you want anything?"
17477Did he hurt you, Ruth?
17477Did they cut the fence?
17477Did you see it?
17477Do you keep yourself informed, Lawler?
17477Do you know why?
17477Do you mean that the storm may last some days?
17477Do you still love him?
17477Do_ you_ like this country?
17477Does Singleton come here?
17477Does Warden love you, Miss Wharton?
17477Does something please you, Gary?
17477Eight thousand head, eh? 17477 Excited, eh?"
17477Expected there''d be line riders here, eh?
17477Gallant-- eh?
17477Gary Warden is keeping Lefingwell''s agreement with you, I reckon?
17477Gary Warden tell you?
17477Gary Warden, eh?
17477Getting tired of it already, Della?
17477Got this stock vented, Blackburn?
17477H''m; they''re an independent concern, ai n''t they?
17477Has-- has anything happened?
17477Have any of you seen Joe Hamlin?
17477Have you seen Gary Warden? 17477 Have you seen Ruth Hamlin lately, Kane?"
17477He knowed me, eh?
17477Hell''s fire, Blackburn,protested Shorty;"ai n''t there somebody else can ride a damned horse?
17477How do you know?
17477How is it that Gary Warden figures on getting cars, Simmons?
17477How long has Singleton been buying cattle from you?
17477How long have you been here, Lawler?
17477How much do you hate him, Della?
17477I reckon there''ll be cars-- now?
17477I reckon we''ll be settin''here twirlin''our thumbs till the outfit gits back?
17477I reckon you do n''t know me, Hamlin?
17477I''ve proved it, have n''t I? 17477 I-- I mean-- that is, has anything else happened?"
17477I-- I think you ought to be glad that I came-- aren''t you?
17477Is Lawler accepting my price, Caldwell?
17477Is Mr. Lawler going to marry Ruth Hamlin?
17477Is it necessary to talk?
17477Is that what you rode to town for?
17477It is simple, is n''t it? 17477 It would be satisfying-- wouldn''t it, Gary?"
17477It''s Warden, ai n''t it?
17477It''s been a long time since you struck town, has n''t it-- since the last state convention-- eh?
17477It''s you, eh?
17477Lawler told you he killed''em, eh? 17477 Lawler,"she urged;"do n''t you see?
17477Lefingwell agreed to pay thirty, you say? 17477 Lied?"
17477Looking for something, boys?
17477Man, do you know what McGregor told me the day before he left the capital to come down here and look you over, to see how badly you were hurt? 17477 Meanin''what?"
17477Meanin''which?
17477Meaning that I forged it?
17477Meaning that I sent them to cut the fence?
17477Meaning that Jim Lefingwell was lying when he told you he''d agreed to pay thirty dollars for my stock this fall?
17477Miss Wharton,he said slowly;"do you know what Gary Warden is doing-- what the company with which your father is connected, is doing?"
17477Murder, Warden?
17477No?
17477Not exactly, eh? 17477 Not sayin''anything, eh?"
17477Not venting trail herds, eh?
17477Railroad out of business?
17477Ruth, girl-- you ai n''t goin''to judge me too harsh, are you?
17477Ruth,he said, finally;"where is your father?"
17477She is n''t with you-- you did n''t meet her? 17477 She''s a whopper, ai n''t she?"
17477Shorty,he said, in a low, strained voice;"Mother has n''t been hurt?"
17477So he would n''t do business with you, eh? 17477 So he''s wise, eh?"
17477So that''s the kind of a dame she is-- eh?
17477So that''s what you brought me here for?
17477Surprised to see me, Miss Hamlin? 17477 Teaching school is n''t the best job in the world, is it?"
17477That is business, is n''t it? 17477 Then you do n''t like Gary Warden?"
17477Then you wo n''t do anything?
17477There''s one thing that''s as good as a vent, ai n''t there, Shorty?
17477There''s only one trail, Singleton-- you are sure of that?
17477Took what?
17477Warden offered to buy your cattle, you say?
17477Watching me?
17477Well, Miss Wharton?
17477Well, that seems to leave you shippers in a bad predicament, does n''t it? 17477 Well, what would_ you_ do, Miss Wharton?"
17477Well,she said, after a silence, during which his face did not change expression;"ca n''t you say something complimentary?"
17477Well,she said, gazing straight at him; a glow in her eyes that puzzled him;"we ca n''t help it, can we?
17477Well,shouted Shorty;"it''s a lulu, ai n''t it?"
17477Well?
17477What about the law, Hatfield; ca n''t we force them to supply cars?
17477What about?
17477What do you carry those two guns for, Singleton? 17477 What do you know about Kane Lawler?"
17477What do you mean, Blackburn?
17477What do you mean, Lawler?
17477What do you mean, Lefty? 17477 What do you suppose he''s fannin''up to her for?"
17477What do you want?
17477What happened?
17477What if you had found a couple of line riders here? 17477 What in blazes has happened to you?"
17477What outfit is this?
17477What price could you get at Red Rock?
17477What then? 17477 What was it you said to Warden one day, when Warden refused to keep that agreement you made with Lefingwell?
17477What would my men cut your fence for, Lawler?
17477What you aimin''to do?
17477What you meanin''?
17477What''s happened?
17477What''s wrong, Lawler?
17477When were you to cut the fence?
17477Where you goin''?
17477Where you headin''?
17477Where''s Della?
17477Where''s Slade?
17477Where''s that Wharton woman, now?
17477Where''s the boss?
17477Who?
17477Whose orders?
17477Why are you telling it, now?
17477Why did n''t you cut the fence last night?
17477Why did you do it, Miss Wharton?
17477Why not call a special session, Governor?
17477Why not hold your stock over the winter?
17477Why should it?
17477Why, Daddy-- why did you do it? 17477 Why?
17477With Willets-- and the rest of it?
17477Would you mind letting me see the order, Jordan?
17477Wrestling with a mighty problem, Jordan?
17477You admit you were there?
17477You ai n''t figgerin''to lay down to the cusses?
17477You come a- runnin'', did n''t you? 17477 You do n''t feel much like talking, do you?"
17477You expected me, I presume?
17477You knew the fence was to be cut?
17477You know me?
17477You mean that you wo n''t marry me?
17477You reckon Hamlin''s runnin''straight, now?
17477You saw us cache grub in the cabin?
17477You say he is well educated?
17477You see it too, eh, King?
17477You seen any of your men this mornin''--Davies or Harris?
17477You thought I did n''t know you wanted my place-- eh? 17477 You want me to swear that he killed those two men wantonly, Gary-- is that it?"
17477You would n''t marry a man you merely liked, would you?
17477You would n''t marry me to save your life?
17477You''re accusin''me of holdin''somethin''back, eh? 17477 You''re back, eh?"
17477You''re startin''at daybreak, I reckon?
17477Your explanation of the killing of Link and Givens is a mighty flimsy one, Lawler, do n''t you think? 17477 _ Shorty_, you do n''t mean it?"
17477''Mebbe Singleton would n''t mind acceptin''your kind offer, Boss?''
17477All of your men were in town-- didn''t you know that?"
17477An''your dad----""Was doing it all for you?
17477And at last Warden asked it:"What did you kill them for?"
17477And at last, when the continuing silence began to affect her with its horrible monotony, she said, quaveringly:"Did-- you-- Are they_ dead_?"
17477And he is educated, too, is n''t he?"
17477Are you quite certain that I do n''t?"
17477At her nod he went on:"Just how did it happen?"
17477But he''s all wool an''a yard wide-- ain''t he, Blackburn?"
17477But my directors----""They''ll be sensible, now, I hope?"
17477But there ai n''t no use, I''ve got----""Did you give your word to Lawler, Daddy?"
17477But what does the boss do?
17477But where are you goin''to be tonight?"
17477But why did n''t Lawler marry you to save your reputation-- if you loved him so much?"
17477But you never can tell-- can you?"
17477Ca n''t you drive to some other point-- where you can arrange to get cars?"
17477Cars and fools are plentiful, eh, Simmons?"
17477Do n''t I know him?
17477Do you imagine I could lose my heart to one of these sagebrush denizens?"
17477Do you see what I meant last night when I said the system was evil?"
17477Do you understand that, Warden?"
17477Do you understand?"
17477Do you understand?"
17477Do you want to know why I went there, Gary?"
17477Hamlin said ten o''clock, did n''t he?
17477Have you seen anything of them?"
17477He added:"Why do you ask?"
17477He is a remarkably striking- looking man, is n''t he?"
17477He leaned close to Singleton, whispering:"Are Blondy and his men settled?"
17477He leaned over and shouted to Lawler:"Kinney''s cañon, ai n''t it?"
17477He stuck close to it until he heard her say:"Wo n''t you please hang my stockings up somewhere?
17477How did I hear of it?
17477How many steers did you sell to Warden at twenty- five?"
17477I mean, have you arranged with Warden to have him take the cattle?"
17477I reckon Gary Warden took''em all?"
17477I reckon if they was square guys they would n''t be sneakin''like that-- eh?"
17477Interesting, is n''t it?"
17477Is n''t she at the ranchhouse?"
17477Is that a large ranch?"
17477Is that the way you saw it?"
17477Is that what you mean, Shorty?"
17477It is all perfectly legal, is n''t it?
17477It is an admirable scheme-- don''t you think?
17477It was quite evident that she had come intentionally, for her words:"I got here, did n''t I?"
17477Lawler?"
17477Lawsy, ma''am, folks has got sense, ai n''t they?
17477Moreton might want a witness,--eh?"
17477No cars, eh?
17477That is what you are here for, is n''t it?"
17477That''s it, eh?"
17477That''s the truth, is n''t it?"
17477The day we met in Willets-- you remember?
17477The man glared malignantly at Lawler; but when the first question came it was answered instantly:"How much did Warden pay you?"
17477Then Lawler said gently:"Ruth, I''m asking you again: Will you marry me?"
17477Then she lowered her voice, speaking to Corwin:"So he owns the Circle L?
17477Then, with the urge of his hatred driving him, he said, sneeringly:"Cheap crooks, eh?
17477They''re out to break you-- understand?
17477Understand, Simmons?
17477Understand?
17477Understand?
17477Understand?
17477Understand?
17477Understand?"
17477Unless you''re figgerin''to hire some hands from another outfit?"
17477Warden?
17477Were you excited then?"
17477Were you here last night?"
17477What about Miss Della?
17477What about your going in to Warden''s office, offering to give him the first shot?
17477What are you aimin''to do about it?"
17477What are you going to do about it?"
17477What business you got buttin''in?"
17477What did you hear?"
17477What in hell is comin''off?
17477What made you rush in on Antrim that way-- giving him the first shot?"
17477What were you told to do if you found line riders here?
17477What you aimin''to do with them?"
17477What''s Davies and Harris got to do with me visiting you?"
17477When you goin''to cut loose an''give''em hell, Boss?"
17477Where have you been keeping yourself?"
17477Where''s your evidence?"
17477Which is a chapper- own?"
17477Who is buying them?"
17477Why had she come here?
17477Why in hell ca n''t they have a wind that''s got some sense to it?"
17477Why not?
17477Why should I deny it?
17477Wo n''t you come to the capital with me-- to be the first lady of the state?"
17477You got any witness that Lawler killed''em, malicious?
17477You know, of course, about the charge I brought against you?"
17477You remember what you told Warden?
17477You say your men reported that the Circle L men stocked Number One line camp yesterday?"
17477You seen this here man, Warden?"
17477You want to get on him here, or outside?"
17477You''re ambitious, eh?
17477cursed Jordan;"ca n''t you take a man''s word?"
17477cursed Warden, gripping the woman''s arm until she cried out in pain;"did n''t I tell you not to let her go alone-- anywhere?"
17477queried Lawler;"what for?"
17477she said, thinly;"I-- I got here, did n''t I?
17477she said;"will it never end?"
17477snarled Singleton;"what you interferin''in the schoolhouse for?
16597All right,he said,"where is it?"
16597All?
16597An''if you''d find out, now, that I ai n''t Will Bransford,said Sanderson slowly,"what then?"
16597An''you ai n''t blamin''me-- so much?
16597An''you expect to hold my herd here until Lester gets back?
16597And do you kiss Ben often?
16597And you came here to try to take the ranch away from me-- to steal it?
16597Are you sure you understand?
16597As your cook?
16597Awake, eh?
16597Ben,she said in an awed, scared voice,"what in God''s name are you doing?"
16597Bluffin'', eh?
16597Bolted, eh?
16597But how about you?
16597But if there''s a pretty girl around----"You come here on business, Dale?
16597But that name,''Sanderson?'' 16597 But you would not say that a woman is not worth the trouble she causes?"
16597Cooling off?
16597Dale sure did hand it to you-- now, did n''t he? 16597 Dale?"
16597Deal,she whispered excitedly;"why do n''t you go away?
16597Devil''s Hole is the only trail?
16597Did I tell you you''d hurt my feelin''s?
16597Did n''t know me, eh? 16597 Did n''t they tell you?"
16597Did n''t you see them?
16597Did n''t you sleep good, Will?
16597Did you sleep well?
16597Do I look like a man who could fight Dale, Silverthorn, and Maison-- and the gang they had-- with any hope of victory? 16597 Do n''t you remember Okar?
16597Do n''t you see the hideous humor of that? 16597 Do n''t you think it is rather too big a thing for one man to handle-- aided by a woman?"
16597Do you see that flat section there?
16597Do you think I''d do anything to harm Mary Bransford-- after what she did for me? 16597 Do you think one hundred and fifty heads will cover the suspected stock?"
16597Do you think we can do it?
16597Do you think you could trust me with the three thousand you said dad left? 16597 Do you want him killed, ma''am?
16597Does it need any explaining?
16597Frame- up, eh?
16597Gary Miller ai n''t been heard of for a month, eh?
16597Have you set Morley on Barney Owen?
16597He ai n''t here, then-- Dale ai n''t?
16597He ai n''t, eh?
16597He has, eh?
16597How could I,he asked,"with a new day dawnin''for me?"
16597How did you know I was n''t a wolf with women?
16597How do you know?
16597How in hell do you know I''m hot?
16597How in hell do you know?
16597How in thunder did you get here?
16597How long will it take you to get Bill Lester here to prove his stock?
16597How many Bar X cattle do you think are in the herd?
16597How much money did dad leave?
16597How''s Nyland?
16597Hurry me? 16597 I reckon you''re Mary Bransford, ma''am?"
16597If he does come back, you''ll tell me, wo n''t you, ma''am? 16597 Is victory that dear to you?"
16597Meanin''?
16597Meanin''that he''ll talk rapid enough about other things, eh?
16597Meanin''that you do n''t want me to be hangin''around here no longer than is necessary, eh?
16597Meaning what?
16597Not a peep-- understand?
16597Not drink any more?
16597Nyland killed him-- choked him to death?
16597On your dignity, eh?
16597Peggy Nyland,he said,"you''re handin''it to me pretty strong, ai n''t you?
16597Raw? 16597 Sanderson''s or Bransford''s?"
16597Sanderson,she said in an awed voice,"what have you done?
16597Seems like old times to be ridin''night- watch, eh, Streak?
16597Seems to prove a heap, do n''t it?
16597So Nyland is still at large, eh?
16597So that''s the way you work, is it, Dale? 16597 So you know it means shootin'', eh?"
16597So you wriggled out of it, boss, eh? 16597 So you''re still there, eh?
16597So_ that_ hurts, eh? 16597 Some drop, eh, Streak?"
16597Tell me what?
16597That was a narrow squeak-- now, was n''t it? 16597 That you want a cook more than you want a-- a wife?
16597That''s possible,he said,"but how are you going to prove it?"
16597Then it was true-- as Dale said-- that you are not my brother?
16597There were three thousand head of cattle?
16597They used you rather roughly, eh? 16597 Thinkin''what over?"
16597Thinking it over?
16597This is Peggy Nyland, is n''t it? 16597 Wants your signature, does he?"
16597Was you expectin''her to? 16597 Was you fair?"
16597Well, Miss Mary,he said,"how does it feel to have a brother again?"
16597Well?
16597Well?
16597What I want to know is this: did you go clean loco, or do you remember anything that happened to you? 16597 What about her brother?"
16597What are you figuring to do now?
16597What can I do for you?
16597What for?
16597What other things are there for him to talk about?
16597What oven do you think I had my head in?
16597What you doin''at the Double A? 16597 What''s bitin''you guys?"
16597What''s eatin''him, I wonder?
16597What''s eatin''you?
16597What''s happened?
16597What''s the game?
16597What''s the use?
16597What''s up now?
16597What''s wrong, Warde?
16597Where is Sanderson?
16597Where on earth have you been at this hour? 16597 Where''s Ben Nyland?"
16597Where''s Maison?
16597Where''s Okar?
16597Where''s brother Will this mornin'', Mary?
16597Who brought me here?
16597Who did the killing?
16597Who is Sanderson?
16597Who is Silverthorn?
16597Who says I ca n''t? 16597 Who was you lookin''for, then?"
16597Who''s runnin''this outfit?
16597Who''s the biggest an''most honest man in town?
16597Who?
16597Whose orders?
16597Why did he use Double A cattle?
16597Why did n''t you tell Dale the cattle did not belong to you?
16597Why did n''t you tell Mary?
16597Why do you want to kill him?
16597Why not set a gunman on him?
16597Why, Will, where did you get this?
16597Why, what on earth has come over you, Deal?
16597Why?
16597Why?
16597Why?
16597Will Bransford, eh?
16597Wo n''t you get off your horse?
16597Wo n''t you please do something?
16597Word about what?
16597You ai n''t sore, then?
16597You are hopin''I will?
16597You feel better now, eh? 16597 You goin''to round up what''s left of the cattle?"
16597You have always been around cattle, I suppose?
16597You know what I came for? 16597 You know what he wants the land for?"
16597You mean that you will go yourself-- with the outfit?
16597You runnin''things here?
16597You say them guys was planted?
16597You say you heard he started this way? 16597 You think I''m loco, eh?
16597You think your life is more valuable than the life of any one of the men you killed at Devil''s Hole, eh? 16597 You''d have shot him, you mean?"
16597You''ll be careful, wo n''t you, Will?
16597You''re Dave Silverthorn?
16597You''re a damned smart boy, ai n''t you, Bransford?
16597You''re a wise guy, eh?
16597You''re better, eh?
16597You''re deeply in love with her, I suppose?
16597You''re still a- goin''it, Streak, eh?
16597You''ve got the money?
16597Yours?
16597Ai n''t it?"
16597An''they ai n''t foolin''us about the rest of it, are they?
16597An''what kind of grub is it that a man in love wants most?"
16597An''who in hell are you?"
16597An''would you be willin''to mortgage the Double A-- if we needed more money?"
16597And was it entirely proper for her to feel that queer tingle of delight over the strangeness of it all?
16597And you know what Dale''s scheme was, do n''t you?
16597Are you feelin''better over it?"
16597At dinner he remarked casually to Mary:"I reckon you do n''t think enough of my letters put them away as keepsakes?"
16597Been followin''us-- you reckon?"
16597Bransford?"
16597But I reckon we''ll have to hump ourselves to get there by feedin''time, this noon, eh?"
16597But Sanderson knew, eh?
16597But do you think shootin''Dale would have ended it?"
16597But he broke in after a time, gruffly:"What''s the trouble between Dale and the Nylands?"
16597But he succeeded in speaking, though the words caught, stranglingly, in his throat:"W- what do you-- want?"
16597But if you do read it, you''ll come back, wo n''t you-- or write?
16597But it has all been unusual, has n''t it?"
16597But what about them guys on the other side, there?
16597Ca n''t you understand how a man of that type would enjoy seeing me send my friend''s brother to his death-- and the brother innocent?"
16597Come here to make trouble, eh?
16597Dale hurt you?
16597Did you expect me?
16597Did you think somethin''was wrong in the house when you was tyin''your cayuse over there at the corral fence?"
16597Do n''t you see that if you do n''t go on letting everybody think you are Bransford, Mary will lose the ranch?"
16597Do n''t you see that if you told her that her brother had been murdered she''d never get over it?
16597Do you know what he claims?
16597Do you know what that means?
16597Do you know what they''ve done?"
16597Do you know what would have happened if you had not got here today?
16597Do you know who got the money you drew from the bank?"
16597Do you need to know any more?
16597Eh, Streak?"
16597Fifteen years, is n''t it?
16597For a brother that she had n''t seen in a dozen years-- an''which she knows in her secret heart was n''t any good?"
16597From whom?
16597Game, eh?
16597Had Colton succeeded?
16597Had Sanderson taken that view of it?
16597Has she told you?"
16597He closed his eyes for an instant, but opened them slightly at Nyland''s question:"What did you do to Peggy?
16597He looked up as Sanderson opened the door, and said shortly:"Well-- what is it?"
16597He looked up, however, startled, when Owen said slowly:"Do you want me to tell you why you did n''t sign Will Bransford''s name to the affidavit?"
16597He wo n''t divvy, eh?
16597His voice, when he spoke, was gentle and drawling:"Was you thinkin''Miss Bransford is interested in warrants, Dale?
16597How in hell do we know you''re Bill Bransford?"
16597How long has it been since the railroad came to Okar?"
16597How much do you want for it?"
16597How on earth did you get hold of it?"
16597How?"
16597Hurry home, wo n''t you?
16597I ai n''t mentioned it until now, but I''ve wondered why?
16597I reckon he done suffered some, eh?"
16597I was n''t figurin''----""Who told you to get Bransford?"
16597I''m goin''to cash in, eh?"
16597It had something to do with cards, I suppose?"
16597It has been such a long, long time, has n''t it?
16597It rather looks as though we are stumped, eh?"
16597It was the water, was n''t it-- in the trough?
16597Looks easy, do n''t it?
16597Mary continued to stare at him, repeating the question:"How did you get it?"
16597No?"
16597Peggy''s better, ai n''t she?
16597Sanderson came close to him, speaking in a vibrant whisper:"Anyone in the house with you?
16597Sanderson could picture the two men arguing the question that must deeply concern them:"Which shall be the first to show himself?"
16597Sanderson had a hard time to keep the eagerness out of his voice, but he did so:"You got it handy?"
16597Sanderson, eh?"
16597See that short, fat man playing cards with the little one at that table?"
16597Shall I tell you who did?
16597So that was it?
16597Something gone wrong?"
16597Square Deal, eh?
16597That little town just beyond the mouth of the basin?
16597That strike you?"
16597That''s goin''to be quite an interestin''situation at the Double A when things get to goin'', eh?"
16597Then Sanderson spoke coldly:"Right and proper, eh, Dale?
16597Then he grinned With delight as he heard Peggy''s voice, high- pitched and startled, saying:"Who''s there?"
16597Then the big man spoke, gruffly, shortly, coldly:"What do you want?"
16597Then where in hell is he?"
16597Understand that?
16597Understand?
16597Understand?
16597Understand?
16597Want to go?"
16597Want to see it?"
16597Was it right that she should thrill so delightfully whenever he came near her?
16597We knowed it was some distance, did n''t we?
16597Well,"he added as Sanderson''s lips straightened at his words,"what''s eatin''you?"
16597What are you sayin''?"
16597What did you do with the money?"
16597What did you say your name was?"
16597What has become of Mary Bransford?"
16597What in hell are you doin''here?"
16597What of it?
16597What will you give for them, delivered to your corral here?"
16597What''ll we do?"
16597What''s Dale got ag''in''you?
16597What''s become of it?"
16597What, then, had happened to him?
16597When I saw her after-- after I saw Maison layin''there, choked to----""So you saw Maison-- dead, you say?"
16597Where did you get that money?"
16597Where is she?"
16597Where would we be, not being able to prove that he is n''t Will Bransford?"
16597Who is he?"
16597Who says I ca n''t drink any more?"
16597Why did n''t Sanderson sign them?
16597Why did n''t you tell me, Barney?"
16597Why do n''t you kill me?"
16597Why should you?
16597Why, what kind of business could take you to Okar during the night?"
16597Why?
16597Why?
16597You can be alone for a few minutes?
16597You got that seven thousand on you?"
16597You know him?"
16597You knowed Maison was dead?"
16597You wo n''t deny that we found them steers in your brother''s corral?"
16597You''ll get me clear?"
16597You''re ready now, eh?"
16597he said,"the one man that the folks here always think of when they''re in trouble an''want a square deal?
16597he suggested;"did you have any thoughts on the subject?"
19764Ca n''t you take me home?
19764Do you know we have n''t got ten pounds of flour in the house? 19764 Do you s''pose I''ve got time to get home now?"
19764Feels good here, does n''t it? 19764 Going to leave that up there all night?"
19764How are you, sweetheart? 19764 How de do, neighbor?"
19764How far off are they?
19764How you getting on?
19764I wonder if I will?
19764I wonder what Estelle will say?
19764I''ve come over to see if you do n''t want to go to the city to- morrow? 19764 If I could only speak?
19764Is n''t some one coming? 19764 Not very well; sit down, wo n''t you?"
19764Oh, Jim, you wo n''t leave me now, will you?
19764Oh, my, do n''t some folks live genteel? 19764 That so?
19764They wo n''t get off the track, will they?
19764Think so?
19764Well, Blanche, what do you think of it-- far''s you''ve got?
19764What do you mean?
19764What do you mean?
19764What else can I do? 19764 What for?
19764What if Mr. Bailey is there?
19764What is it, dear? 19764 Who''s there?"
19764Why not go right along out to the store with us?
19764Why, Blanche-- what''s the matter? 19764 Why?
19764Will I?
19764Will you go feed the team, or shall I?
19764You cussed fool, ca n''t you see that she_ ca n''t_ go back to Burke? 19764 You did n''t get over to Mrs. Bradley''s this afternoon, then?"
19764You did? 19764 You''re sure you''re not worse?
19764All alone?
19764And another blizzard likely?
19764And no butter, either?
19764Blanche, ca n''t you help Jim find a woman?"
19764Burke?"
19764Burke?"
19764Ca n''t I do something for ye?
19764Ca n''t I help you?"
19764Ca n''t you see,"she said, finding words with effort--"can''t you see, I_ must_ go?
19764Can you fix up such a thing as that?"
19764Can you make ice- cream?"
19764Could it ever be a home?
19764Got any pain- killer?
19764Had he only seen her in her joyous moods?
19764He brushed his hand over his brow as if to clear his vision:"Jim, Jim, I-- good God!--how could you do such a thing?"
19764How are you?"
19764How are you?"
19764How''d his flat- chested nibs manage to secure a''queen''like that?
19764I wonder if the storm was as bad over where the Clayton girls are?"
19764I''ve made her mine-- you understand?"
19764If their acts were crimes, why could they remain so clear of eye?
19764Is n''t she lovely?"
19764Let me starve?"
19764Miss Baker presently opened the door, and, shaking a letter, said,"Do n''t you wish you knew?"
19764Now what are you going to do?
19764One day he said:"I''m goin''to work f''r Jim Bradley to- day-- want''o go''long?"
19764Rivers said, with an abrupt change in his voice:"Mrs. Burke is a hummer, is n''t she?
19764See those heavy barrels?
19764Suppose these people really loved each other as he loved Estelle?
19764They lighted the oil lamps, which hung in brackets on the wall, and then Rivers said to Blanche:"Wo n''t you go into the other room?
19764Was it a home?
19764Was n''t it terrible?"
19764What did we ever leave Illinois for, anyway?"
19764What do you mean?"
19764What do you suppose these poor squatters will do?"
19764What for?"
19764What is to become of her?"
19764What shall I do?"
19764What y''goin''to do?
19764What''s the matter?"
19764What''s trouble?"
19764Where are you going, Jim?"
19764Where''s Burke?"
19764Why could she not have known Jim in the days when she, too, was young and innocent like the heroines of these stories?
19764Why had he waited and waited?
14348''What about your poor wife?'' 14348 ''What''s that?''
14348''What''s that?'' 14348 ''Yes,''I says;''and suppose the report comes back that this water is fatal to man and beast?
14348A bore?
14348Ah, but how?
14348Ai n''t I been telling him for a year to buy Liberty Bonds with his money? 14348 Ai n''t I just talked straight to Snell?
14348Ai n''t I right, though, about the foolish way people fly at their mail?
14348Any one hurt in the runaway?
14348But how?
14348But what''s to be done?
14348But you just told Tilton--"Well, Snell is going to be there, ai n''t he?
14348Ca n''t you remember? 14348 Ca n''t you think?"
14348Call yourself a cowman, do you?
14348Call yourself a cowman, hey? 14348 Calls himself a cowman, does he?
14348Change of venues?
14348Change of venues?
14348Did you open it?
14348Do n''t he look a heap more egregious by that mess of bones than he does by his own flesh and blood? 14348 Do you suppose that fire would destroy the silly things?
14348Elephants?
14348Ever talk to one of these rich capitalists that has rubber stock for sale in South America or a self- starting banana orchard? 14348 Fencin''?"
14348Have many fights?
14348Have n''t I told you I took them out?
14348He do n''t look near as proud in this as he does in that one he sent me himself-- here, where is that thing?
14348How about the way you talked to Tilton before you saw Snell?
14348How did you ever do it?
14348How do you know?
14348How far did he say I was hurled?
14348How''s that?
14348I ai n''t sayin''I''d like to mix with one when he''s vexed,continued the lady judicially;"but why vex''em?
14348I know I had them out in the living room--"Why did you ever take them out there?
14348It''s your only way out,says Minna;"and I''ll do everything I can--""You will?"
14348Keats might have turned out even worse than I did,he says,"but if there was n''t going to be any way where he could do it legally, what was the use?
14348Keys?
14348Me? 14348 Mother to what?"
14348Now,I wondered,"what devastating bomb shall we hurl into this flower- spiced Arcady?
14348Open it?
14348Remind you?
14348Say, did n''t I ever tell you about Mrs. Julia Wood Atkins, the well- known lady reformer?
14348So she''s that kind, is she?
14348That would be a catastrophe indeed, would it not? 14348 Then what you crying for?"
14348Well, did you lick Ben?
14348Well, what of it?
14348What for?
14348What in time did you think I was going to do?
14348What keys? 14348 What was the matter of life and death?"
14348Would n''t it be awkward if they were in that rubbish?
14348You know what he does when he wants a mess of trout? 14348 You opened that trunk?"
14348You reckon we better both leave the place at once?
14348You remember Squat Tyler, that long cow- puncher working for me when you were here last time?
14348You seen the party that stopped here this morning in that big, pompous touring car?
14348''Ai n''t that a fine new fiddle that Dave bought with his twelve dollars?
14348''Why did you postpone it?''
14348Ai n''t I the heinous old madcap, thinking of jokes like that?
14348Ai n''t it the truth?
14348Ai n''t it time someone showed up the moral ravages war commits on our best young men?
14348And Uncle Henry said here was a quart bottle of his peach brandy, going on eight year old, and would I take it along back with me and try it?
14348And did he show the ravages of time?
14348And do n''t you think, yourself, it''s a lot better fiddle than Dave''s old one?''
14348And does Timmins want to throw in with us?
14348And does n''t she ever play anything cheerful?"
14348And even if they could rustle their own feed, what kind of a business is it where you could only ship once in a lifetime?
14348And he wanted to bring his assistant, Professor Pennypacker; and could I put them up?
14348And high time, too, because he was now in line for general manager, and how would it look for him to be mixed up in brawls?
14348And how about taking him on at the Arrowhead, where he could begin a new life?
14348And how about that lady anyway?
14348And how is his affair coming on?
14348And how would you get a branding iron on a whale, and what good would it do you?
14348And just because the skunk happened to be superbly gifted in this respect, was that any reason to ostracize him?
14348And sheep?
14348And was Ben keeping up his exercise?
14348And was n''t it fine to stand there and watch them bottles laugh their heads off at this food profiteer?"
14348And was n''t it the greatest accident that ever happened to anybody?
14348And was n''t it worth postponing my wedding for, so we could have some music?''
14348And what chance would he have with women when they was told how he regarded children?
14348And what did one do now-- if anything?
14348And what does one do in such a case?"
14348And what does the Government do?
14348And what had Ed expected, anyway?
14348And who knows what might happen?
14348And why would n''t she?
14348And would it be important if true?
14348And would you have wondered when he sifts in a couple days later and makes me a cold offer of sixty dollars a head for this choice livestock?
14348And would you think that this poor, simple- minded old rancher would be any match for their wiles?
14348And, to make it worse, had n''t she laid out a wrong color of socks with his lavender tie?
14348Any one else?
14348Anything wrong with it?"
14348Anyway, when he begun to think he was n''t meant for this art, who steps in but this same director that had made such a beast of himself with Vida?
14348Are you losing your mind?
14348Are you really still maundering about that?
14348As how?
14348Because why?
14348Because why?
14348Because, going to work at such- and- such a place, this here fatal feeling made''em think one place was no worse than another; so why not stick here?
14348Beryl Mae held her glass up to the light and said,"After all, does anything in life really matter?"
14348But Aunt Mollie said, then, how about some prime young pork tenderline?
14348But did you ever see one work after the man got it outside, where he needed it?
14348But had he been cross to her, as most men would of been?
14348But what about the other side of these same stories?
14348But, no; Julia just thought all water ought to be analyzed on general principles, and would n''t I have a sample of ours sent off at once?
14348Can you imagine her wishing to flaunt such a thing?''
14348Did n''t it show guile of their kind?
14348Did n''t the best cowboy now on the pay roll wear a derby hat and ride a motorcycle by preference?
14348Did you see the way he tried to switch the laugh over on to us, and me with his trusty check right here in my hand?
14348Did you thank the lady, Dave?''
14348Do n''t I know a thing or two?
14348Do n''t you see how they all try to get away from you?
14348Do you get that?
14348Do you think a mob will be very long blaming me for a hand in it?
14348Ed says no; this is far enough to tell him for his own good not to be such a bore; an''Ben says how is he a bore?
14348Ed says, what''s the matter-- couldn''t he get to copy the report?
14348Ever see a moving- picture mother that had a chance to be happy for more than the first ten feet of film?
14348Fire in her voice?
14348Floud?''
14348Gale?"
14348Had Homer the shadow of an excuse?
14348Had I ever seen a hog that thought any other hog was good enough to associate with him?
14348Had he looked for some verses of poetry about his accident, or a novel?
14348Had n''t I noticed how common cows got paunchy and how well the fat was distributed on the pure- breds?
14348Had n''t he run away from a good home in Iowa when he was sixteen, account of being the oldest of seven?
14348Had n''t he watched it for hours?
14348Had n''t she been reading all her life about champagne being served at wedding breakfasts?
14348Had n''t she combed out the county hospital and poor farm to get a haying crew?
14348Have I done something stupid?
14348He answered they would wait till my hay was garnered-- that''s the pretty word he used-- and could he also bring his mouthless chit with him?
14348He could have put only all over the rock and it would still have been thirty- two miles, would n''t it?
14348He could n''t understand this, because how could they know he was the one that caused all that trouble in San Francisco?
14348He said why did n''t Minna take up something else?
14348He says it''s an office sofa and where in something is the red plush one that belongs to the set?
14348He wanted to know what Ben was promoted to by this time, and was he looking as hearty as ever?
14348His old college chums all love him too-- a boy makes so many valuable friends in college, do n''t you think?
14348Homer said what good would all that money do him?
14348How can one?"
14348How could so misused a remnant cope with the manifold cares of the long- harried Arrowhead ranch?
14348How did they get their bread from day to day?
14348How did you get her?
14348How many men can you take?
14348How was Ben, anyway?
14348How, then, did the young woman open the trunk?
14348I again lead the dangerous beast--"What you humouring that old skate for?"
14348I have to protect my honour, do n''t I?"
14348I reminded Ben that Ed had never yet done anything you''d think a human being would do, so why expect him to begin now, when he had abundant leisure?
14348I said was he really bent on it?
14348I said was it possible?
14348I said yes, yes, and undoubtedly, and all very interesting, and well and good in its place; but, really, was this its place?
14348I told you about whales, did n''t I?
14348I wonder if Bugs Plunkett ever looks at that writing now and blushes for his lost angel face?
14348I wonder what that funny little mite of hers will say when she sees her to- night?
14348I would say:"Come on, now; what about this Herman Wagner that paints wheedling messages across the face of Nature?"
14348I''d be in a hell of a fix-- wouldn''t I?''
14348In the picture captioned"Why Did You Make My Mamma Cry?"
14348Is he vigorous and hearty, or does office work seem to be sapping his vitality?
14348Is n''t there something interesting about that?"
14348Is that the only sign of Herman''s you saw?
14348It had once been mere star dust, had n''t it?
14348It seems they tried her in one of these"Should a Wife Forgive?"
14348It would be slow music and make you think of the quiet old churchyard where your troubles would be o''er; and why not get there as soon as possible?
14348Lew Wee said that was just the thing; and would the cousin come over and help him in case the animal would be timid and not want to go in the sack?
14348Life was full of danger for the best of us, with people dropping off every day or so; and why should Ed have hoped to be above the common lot?
14348Lydia says"Oh, dear, wo n''t he ever stop his silly chatter about his stupid old trunk?"
14348Make her up for this part, understand?
14348Manuel is tickled and says what does Herman think of paying him?
14348Many a night her pillow had been wet with tears on this account, and did I believe in any of these remedies for reducing?
14348Me?
14348Me?
14348Me?
14348Me?
14348Me?
14348Must n''t they have fallen from the hook?"
14348Now is n''t that a perfectly darling plan?"
14348Now what did I do with those wretched old keys?"
14348Once more I--"What I never been able to figger out-- how can a dame like that fool herself beyond a certain age?
14348Pretty soon they''d have every last organic remains put into a catalogue, the whole set complete and unbroken-- and then what?
14348Reasons?
14348Shall I still survive?
14348She had hoped to give Dulcie a good time, but how can she sully herself with any of our young people that have took up Bohemianism?
14348She says why ever did Homer do such a monstrous thing?
14348She''d say to me:"He does care frightfully about himself, does n''t he?"
14348So I says:''Why did n''t you fight back?
14348So what about it?
14348So why not let it rest?
14348Still and all, why give everyone a chance but cattle raisers?
14348Such a good what?"
14348Then Ed says:"Say, Ben, what''s the matter with you, anyway?
14348Then Shelley says to him:"Say, kid, do you like your curls?"
14348They never look for trouble; then why force it on their notice?
14348Tilton will be there, wo n''t he?"
14348Was it honest, genuine, open?
14348Was n''t he the heedless Hugo?
14348Was n''t it being told to me by the happiest woman I ever set eyes on?
14348Was n''t that the confession of a weakling?
14348Was n''t that the party with hostile views about children?
14348Was n''t that the truth?
14348Was n''t that what you wanted the trunk open for-- to get the keys?
14348Was n''t we all offensive at those times?
14348Was she not kindness itself?
14348Was she not, in truth, just a shade too kind?
14348Was she right; or was n''t she?
14348Was that any way to talk about a fellowman-- not to say a first cousin?"
14348Was that so?
14348Well, it had got so I hired everything that come along; so why not Herman?
14348Well, who persuaded them?
14348What about him?
14348What about the village good boy that goes through war''s purifying flame and comes back home to be the town tough?
14348What about this mere shattered bit of flotsam from the world welter?
14348What could any one of said?
14348What did you think he was going to do with it?''
14348What do you know about that?
14348What do you think of that?
14348What else had we come there for?
14348What else?
14348What is the man talking of?
14348What next?
14348What next?
14348What of that?"
14348What then?
14348What think?"
14348What was your fists for?''
14348What woe will she put upon its unsuspecting dwellers, even as she has ruined four other homes this day?
14348What would have to happen to a person before he''d call it serious?
14348What''s got into you to keep dragging that accident up out of the dead past that way?
14348What''s in the least absurd about that?''
14348When I again uttered"Well?"
14348Who told you he was?"
14348Why did n''t I think of it before?
14348Why did n''t he have it right there?
14348Why insanely push thirty- two miles on in a country where miles mean something serious?
14348Why insult the poor thing?
14348Why not begin cautiously with a series of why s?
14348Why not pick out a good glen that parties can slip off to for a quiet evening without breaking up a whole week?
14348Why pinch pennies?"
14348Why should I terrorize him?
14348Why will men at critical junctures stoop to such trickery?
14348Will you look at that mess of clouds?
14348Would n''t that fade you?
14348You can see she''s a great actress; look at that one:''Why Did You Make My Mamma Cry?''
14348You got to have a foundation to build on, have n''t you?"
14348of Wagner''s Sylvan Glen?
14348of a sylvan glen, why should he have gone thirty- two miles farther for one?
14348or"What''s your favourite flower?"
12388A martyr?
12388A pretty sight, eh, Captain Plum? 12388 After I kill Strang will you help her?"
12388Ah, how do you do, sir?
12388Ah, you wish to see the whipping?
12388And I?
12388And balls-- lots of balls, and a few guns, eh?
12388And she lives with him?
12388And then?
12388And to- night-- where will we find Marion?
12388And what use do you make of the four- pounder that''s wrapped up in tarpaulin under your deck, Nat? 12388 And what''s your business, Nat?"
12388And who is that?
12388And you have not seen Marion-- to talk with her?
12388And you-- you live in this cesspool of sin and still believe in a Heaven?
12388And-- Strang''s wife?
12388Are you coming, sir?
12388Are you crazy?
12388Are you sure-- are you_ quite_ sure, Captain Plum, that it was my people who attacked your ship? 12388 Blow''em up, eh, Nat?
12388But the other?
12388Can you get up? 12388 Can you reach the house without being observed?"
12388D''ye suppose you can hate as well as love?
12388Do n''t like the sound, eh?
12388Do n''t you see what a very simple case it is?
12388Do n''t you understand?
12388Do n''t you?
12388Do you know that you would have made an awful fool of yourself if I had n''t hove in sight just when I did?
12388Do you smell lilac, Nat? 12388 Do you think she is at the temple?"
12388Do you want to see her?
12388Do you write much?
12388Does he not know?
12388Does the forest run down to the lake on Obadiah''s side of the island?
12388Eh, Captain Plum? 12388 Eh, Nat?"
12388From what? 12388 Good God, why do n''t you tell me what her peril is?"
12388Great God-- what about Marion?
12388Had n''t we better go, Dad?
12388Hear that, Nat?
12388Her father? 12388 Ho, ho, ho-- haven''t you guessed the truth yet, Nat?
12388Hope there''s nothing wrong, Cap''n?
12388How are you, Nat?
12388How do you know that my fate is to be yours? 12388 How will you get the note to her?"
12388How would it be if I landed you on the point and met you to- night at Obadiah''s?
12388Hungry?
12388I will keep him from the island if I can,he said, looking deep into them,"and as there is a God in Heaven I swear that you--""What?"
12388Is he at the temple?
12388Is he dead?
12388Is it possible that we may have another young lady passenger?
12388Is it you?
12388Is that your sloop out there?
12388It''s the price, eh?
12388Marion, will you come with me? 12388 My God, wo n''t you tell me--?"
12388Neil,he said quietly,"do you know that Winnsome loves you-- not as the little girl whom you toted about on your shoulders-- but as a woman?
12388Obadiah told you nothing?
12388Obadiah told-- you-- nothing?
12388Obadiah, can you not make arrangements for him to go with me alone?
12388Only Neil,--he cried,"only Neil-- Marion--?"
12388Powder in good shape, eh?
12388Pretty sight, eh, Nat?
12388She went to the castle-- an hour ago?
12388Sherly-- Lieutenant Sherly-- don''t you know me?
12388So you think it''s the end?
12388So you''re going back home-- soon?
12388Splendid cargo, eh?
12388Tell me this, Obadiah Price,whispered the master of the_ Typhoon_,"who is she?"
12388Tell me, Obadiah-- where is Marion?
12388Tell me-- where is he?
12388That was all?
12388The girl of the lilacs, eh? 12388 Then-- it was only accidentally-- you helped us?"
12388There is no hope?
12388Vermont?
12388What did Casey tell them?
12388What do you want with Obadiah Price?
12388What is it?
12388What is it?
12388What the devil do you mean?
12388What was it?
12388What were they doing with Winnsome?
12388What will happen?
12388What''s that?
12388When? 12388 Where did she go?"
12388Where does that light come from?
12388Where is Marion?
12388Where is Marion?
12388Where is Marion?
12388Where is Strang?
12388Where is the seat, Neil? 12388 Who are you?
12388Who says that I will be killed? 12388 Who?
12388Who?
12388Why are you going to kill Strang? 12388 Why did n''t you awaken me sooner?"
12388Why did n''t you go? 12388 Why did you come?"
12388Why do you wish to see the king?
12388Why has n''t it been taken?
12388Why?
12388Why?
12388Why?
12388Will you follow me, sir?
12388Will you please follow me, sir?
12388Winnsome, my dear, have you copied the paper I was at work on? 12388 Would this help?"
12388Would you kill little Winnsome''s father?
12388Yes-- where is Strang?
12388You are Captain Plum?
12388You are a stranger, Captain Plum?
12388You are sure that Marion would kill herself as soon as she became the wife of Strang?
12388You are sure there is a small boat waiting for you on the point?
12388You have guessed nothing-- no cause for the prophet''s power over your sister?
12388You mean that you want to call off our bargain?
12388You mean-- he is forcing her into his harem?
12388You will go with me?
12388You will go?
12388You will go?
12388You will stay-- eh, Nat?
12388You would not betray pretty little Winn, eh? 12388 Young man, will you shake hands with me?
12388Your name?
12388Your sister-- who came to you at the whipping- post?
12388A hundred carbines, eh?
12388After a moment he added,"Have you got a pencil, Nat?
12388And what in the world are you going to do with five barrels of gunpowder?"
12388And who do you suppose told Winnsome to give you this note?"
12388And why do you carry a pistol on one side of you and a knife on the other, Nat?"
12388And why?"
12388Any harm done?"
12388Are n''t there twelve, instead of eight?
12388Are n''t you glad we''re not going to be shot?"
12388But did Obadiah know that the castle had been abandoned?
12388But first there came the girl''s own whispered breath--"Neil-- where is Neil?"
12388But how in the name of Kingdom- Come did you find it out?"
12388But what was the crowd doing?
12388But where was the small boat?
12388But why tell Nathaniel?
12388By Urim and Thummin, is n''t that choice, Nat?"
12388Cheerful, is n''t it?
12388Could he give no warning?
12388Could he trust the old councilor?
12388Did he know that the king''s wives had sought refuge in the temple, and did he know where Marion was hidden?
12388Did you ever take an oath?"
12388Do n''t you see there is nothing to do-- but to kill Strang?"
12388Do n''t you suppose that you have been searched?
12388Do you know that?"
12388Do you know what will happen then?"
12388Do you understand?"
12388Eh, Captain Plum?"
12388Eh, Nat?"
12388Eh?
12388Eh?
12388Eh?
12388Eh?
12388Eh?
12388Eh?"
12388Eh?"
12388For a moment her pale beautiful face was filled with a light that might have shone from the face of an angel,"Do n''t you understand?"
12388Good God, do n''t you understand?
12388Great God, what does it all mean?
12388Had Strang, in the virulence of that hatred which he concealed so well, conceived of this spot to give added torment to death?
12388Had some keen eye seen those shadowy forms dropping through the mist?
12388Had some spot of lesser gloom ahead betrayed the prisoner''s bowed head and Jeekum''s white face turned to it?
12388Had that been her reward for the sacrifice she believed he had made for her in the castle chamber?
12388Had the councilor lied to him?
12388Have n''t you twelve men aboard your sloop instead of eight, Nat?
12388He almost shrieked the words that he meant to speak calmly:"Where is Marion?"
12388Hell''s hole, is n''t it?"
12388Ho, ho!--You will stay a week, wo n''t you, Nat?"
12388How did you happen to make a mistake in your count?
12388How far behind were the others?
12388How?"
12388I hope there''s nothing wrong?"
12388I wonder what his first scheme was?"
12388I wonder why?"
12388If she was the king''s wife why had her eyes called to him for help?
12388If so, of course you must have some proof?"
12388If the girl was the councilor''s wife what was the motive of Obadiah''s falsehood?
12388Is it true?"
12388Is n''t it so, Nat?"
12388Is n''t that better and safer and just as sure as murder?"
12388Is n''t that plain?"
12388Is n''t that so?
12388Is n''t that so?"
12388Is n''t that so?"
12388Is n''t the earth worn smooth and hard about that post?"
12388It was the sobbing of a woman; or was it a child?
12388It''s three thousand, that''s the account, eh?"
12388James?"
12388Lord, man, do you suppose that Strang is going to let me live to kill him?"
12388O, my God, is that not a balm for your heart, if it is broken?
12388Or is it in lead?
12388Pardonable-- excusable, eh?
12388Pleasant, is n''t it?"
12388Quick-- you must run--""Where is Marion?"
12388Shall we die fighting?"
12388She says they will kill you--""Who says so?"
12388Should he confide his plot to him and ask his assistance?
12388Should he look-- as he had done at the king''s window?
12388Tell me-- who gave you this warning for me?"
12388Then he added,"Do you notice anything queer about the way you''re bound to that stake, Nat?"
12388Then you will make up your mind, eh?
12388Through which of these doors had come the sound of sobbing he had heard?
12388Understand, Nat?
12388Understand?
12388Want a drink?"
12388Want to know that things are on the square, eh?"
12388Was Jeekum signaling to him?
12388Was Marion at the temple?
12388Was he mad?
12388Was it Marion?
12388Was it of gladness?
12388Was it of hope?
12388Was it possible that Casey had abandoned hope of Nathaniel''s return and was already lying off St. James with shotted gun?
12388Was it possible that he had spoiled his chances with the councilor because of a pretty face and a bunch of lilacs?
12388Was it possible that his magnificent courage had at last given way?
12388Was it possible that the discovery of the approach of the mainlanders had served to save Marion?
12388Was it possible that these people were the father and mother of Marion-- and of Neil?
12388Was it the cry of an animal that he had heard-- or of a man?
12388Was it the same mysterious influence that had attracted Marion to him?
12388Was it this woman-- the woman who had begged him to spare the life of the prophet, who had knelt beside him, and whispered in his ear, and kissed him?
12388Was the girl he had seen through the King''s window one of the seven wives of Strang-- or was she the wife of Obadiah Price?
12388Was there a tremble of fear in her voice?
12388Were hidden eyes guarding that bag?
12388Were those frightened cowards the fierce fighters of whom he had heard so much?
12388What are you talking about?"
12388What did he know about Marion and Winnsome, and why had he given birth to new hope in the same breath that he mentioned their names?
12388What did it all mean?
12388What did it mean?
12388What did it mean?
12388What did you think of her, Nat?"
12388What does it all mean?
12388What great calamity, what fearful vengeance, was about to come upon the Mormon kingdom?
12388What had he, Captain Plum, to do with Strang''s wife?
12388What had the jailer meant to say?
12388What if Marion should not keep the tryst?
12388What if she should come by another path while he was gone?
12388What sort of a bump have I got on the head?"
12388What strange adventure was this old man dragging him into?
12388What strange chord of sympathy was it that bound him to this old man?
12388What was that_ something_ she would tell him if he got Neil safely away?
12388What was the mysterious plot into which he had allowed himself to be drawn?
12388What was the plot in which he had accidentally become involved?
12388What was there on the opposite side of the temple?
12388What were the motives, the reasoning, the plot that lay behind this mysterious creature''s apparent faith in him?
12388What would it mean to Marion-- to Neil?
12388What would you do?"
12388What''s the matter?
12388When did she go?"
12388Where could she have gone?
12388Where is he?"
12388Where was Marion?
12388Who else would have kissed him?
12388Who was Obadiah Price?
12388Who was the girl that fate had so mysteriously associated with his movements thus far?
12388Who was the old man?
12388Who would have come to him but Marion?
12388Who''s expecting me?"
12388Whom am I to follow?"
12388Whom had he saved?
12388Why are you going to kill Strang?
12388Why did n''t you go with Neil?"
12388Why had not Strang taken her with his wives?
12388Why had the king sent for Marion on this particular night and at this late hour?
12388Why were a hundred guns and a ton and a half of powder and balls wanted by the Mormons of Beaver Island?
12388Will you leave the island-- and join your brother?"
12388Will you promise to be-- a sort of brother-- to me-- if I steal Marion and sail away with her to- night?"
12388Will you promise to meet me there-- to- night?"
12388With her brother away would she confide in him?
12388Would Marion go first to her home?
12388Would a look through that little window explain some of the mysteries of the night?
12388Would she tell him the secret of her slavedom to Strang?
12388Would the mainlanders rush into the trap?
12388Yet he could not help from saying:"What will become of Marion?"
12388You have been warned?"
12388You have the Bible there?"
12388You love a pretty face, eh?
12388You say that Marion loves me?"
12388a good joke, eh?
12388were they coming back?
12388what is the matter, Nat?
1987''Well, son,''said my boss,''you held some of them, did n''t you?'' 1987 Did you send that man in this morning?"
1987Have you any intimation that they expect to buy in other cattle?
1987Hello, Quince,said Dave;"how goes it, old sport?
1987How did I fare at Omaha?
1987Jealous of each other, ai n''t you? 1987 So you are another one of these lousy through outfits that think we ought to make a fuss over you, are you?"
1987Well, Mr. Sheriff,said old man Don, as he reined in beside Phillips,"how do you like the looks of this for a posse?
1987What did I tell you?
1987When within a mile of camp, Bibleback turned again in his saddle and asked,''When is Christmas?'' 1987 ''Do you know where that big Wyoming stray ranges?'' 1987 Ai n''t you going to let me have them?
1987And do you ever expect to face your friends again at Los Olmus?
1987As commander at Fort Buford, what right have you to consider the tender of any Tom, Dick, or Harry who may have cattle to sell?
1987As long as everything is safe, what do we care?
1987Blankets?
1987But Dave''s gravity soon turned to a smile as he continued:"Did you fellows notice The Rebel and me sitting inside the rail among all the big augers?
1987But now since you are here, let us proceed to business, or would you like to breakfast first?
1987Corrupted them, did you?
1987Desert your employer, will you?
1987Did I hang it on them artistically, or shall I call them back and smear it on a shade deeper?
1987Did he know me?
1987Did we care to sell that amount?
1987Do my innocent children want to look upon the faces of those who robbed them of a father?
1987Do you keep stout?
1987Do you see that sign over there, where it says Barley Water and Bad Cigars?
1987Do you see those objects across yonder about two miles-- in that old grass?
1987Early the next morning I was out and saddled my horse, and the question was, Which way is camp?
1987Eat too much?
1987Had you been friends to me or mine, why did you not raise your voice in protest when they were strangling the life out of the father of my children?
1987Have n''t you got cow- sense enough to know that if those beeves had run, they''d have shook the earth?
1987I ca n''t escape a severe fine, but what do I care as long as I have their money to pay it with?
1987I suppose these strangers are deputy sheriffs?
1987If it was me, do you know what I''d do with them?"
1987Is my shame not enough in your eyes but that you must taunt me further?
1987It''ll be a good one on her, wo n''t it?
1987Licked me, did he?
1987Livid with rage, the spittle frothing from her mouth, she drove us away, saying:"''Oh, you fiends of hell, when did I ask your help?
1987Mr. Radcliff, do you remember pointing out a black muley yesterday and saying that he looked like a native animal?
1987Now in my case, Jim, what would you do?"
1987Now was there anything else you''d like to know?"
1987Or what was she doing away out there in that lonesome country?
1987Paul, was it a dream, or did we sleep in a bed last night and have a sure- enough pillow under our heads?
1987Priest was rather slow in making his appearance, riding leisurely, but on coming up innocently inquired of his employer,"Did you want to see me?"
1987Quince, tie up the horses for us, and after breakfast Bob and I will look over the herds and then ride into Fort Buford.--Trout for breakfast?
1987Shall I?"
1987Shall it be the sheriff, or Mr. Retallac, or the proprietor of the Stock Exchange?"
1987Sheriff?"
1987The office is a red- tape one, anyhow, and little harm in taking all the advantage you can.--This item marked''sundries''was DRY goods, I suppose?
1987Then he turned halfway in his saddle and said:''What kind of folks are those?''
1987There is only one provision,--does the article of beef tendered qualify under the specifications?
1987They''re not wild, are they, Mac?"
1987To be brief, shall these old Wisinsteins come out here from Washington City and dispossess any man of his property?
1987Very sorry to disappoint you, but wo n''t you come over to the wagon and stay all night?"
1987Was it your hand that cut him down from the tree this morning, and if it was not, why do I need you now?
1987Was there any man present to challenge his assertion that the pounds quantity had been tendered?
1987Were they throwing lead?
1987What are you fooling along on our wagon track for, when you could have trailed the herd in a long lope?
1987What do I care if it is raining in London or the Black Hills either?
1987What kind of an outfit are you working, anyhow, Captain?''
1987What right have you or any of your friends to stop a man without due process?
1987What was worrying me was, had she a husband?
1987What would Don Dionisio say if he knew the truth?
1987What''s your hurry, Mac?"
1987When Tolleston recognizes all three of those outfits as belonging to Don Lovell-- well, wo n''t there be hell to pay?
1987When they rested their case Sutton arose, and scanning the audience for some time, inquired,"Is Jim Reed there?"
1987Where have you picketed Tolleston?"
1987Which one of your boys was it that licked Archie?
1987Which shall it be, business or breakfast?"
1987Who could refuse such a reasonable request?
1987Will you tackle the job?"
1987Would the drovers?
1987Would the government?
1987You never saw me burn powder, did you?
1987You remember when every one was admiring the fine horse, the blind man said,''Is n''t he fat?''
1987You think the other herds will be here within a few days?
1987You understand that, do n''t you?
1987You''re listening, are you, Quince?
1987my old college chum, how goes it?"
1987of cattle would survive a winter, why not call on the weather prophets to testify just what the coming one would be?
16861''All right, what about wages?'' 16861 ''And how can I prove it?''
16861''And yo''did not go home?'' 16861 ''Could n''t yez wait and let me tell yez thet?''
16861''Did not send for any money?'' 16861 ''He wo n''t drink with us, hey?
16861''How much did yo''have?'' 16861 ''How much have yo''left?''
16861''Know anything about herding and driving cattle?'' 16861 ''Shore nuff?''
16861''Wat at?'' 16861 ''What are yo''going to do?''
16861''Will yo''work for me?'' 16861 ''Yo''licked the coon, but was afeerd to meet the governor, eh?''
16861And Tyre and Venice and Egypt and ther Hellespont?
16861And are you as happy as you deserve to be, Rose?
16861And can I have a room for Jordan right now?
16861And he wur a fighter from way back?
16861And how can we give any expression of our gratitude to John Mackay?
16861And how long, Grace, before he will be in England?
16861And how much is it?
16861And is not that the region where the cowboy is also found?
16861And old Cambysis cum here on a robbin''expedition? 16861 And she got looney- like when he cum away, and uv nights would go down on ther shore and watch for him to cum back?"
16861And their hosses war thoroughbreds, every one? 16861 And what are the expenses?"
16861And what are your trophies?
16861And what is Westminster Abbey?
16861And what is that, sweet?
16861And what now?
16861And what of the doctor and the crew?
16861And what were the two things, Jim?
16861And when do you sail?
16861And when do you sail?
16861And where could we meet Jack?
16861And why did you come away, Jordan?
16861And you are really engaged?
16861Are you glad?
16861Are you happy?
16861Athens wur the boss place, wur it not? 16861 Burial lots come high there, do they not?"
16861But how came yo''here, Jim?
16861But if you are going away, why can not I go with you?
16861But just then this rough Turner showed up and said:''Who is threatening to make it hot for us?'' 16861 But they were fighters, them fellers?"
16861But what will he think we want?
16861But why did he run away? 16861 But you have forgotten a somewhat diffident and reserved young man with whom you were conversing in the parlor an hour ago?"
16861But, then, suppose a year later I had seen you, what would become of me?
16861Can I induce you for love and money to make the run at full speed to Naples or Marseilles?
16861Can we not assign our property?
16861Can you drive, think?
16861Did Napoleon say thet?
16861Did you ever attend a grand opera performance, Tom?
16861Did you ever ride a Texas steer?
16861Did you never har of ther United States?
16861Did you want me to kiss you sooner than I did?
16861Did your friend Sedgwick do as well as you did?
16861Do I look like er greaser?
16861Do they dream when they get there?
16861Do you believe that can be true?
16861Do you know him, Jack?
16861Do you know of any Englishmen who are in a hurry to be carried there?
16861Do you really mean it?
16861Do you think Browning knew all about this from the first?
16861Do you think he would settle that way?
16861Does this great babel oppress your spirits?
16861From ther other side over there ther Israelites started for Canaan, did n''t they?
16861Hannibal, do you mean?
16861Has the stock recently bought been placed to my credit?
16861Have you not been making my life a bed of roses ever since your blessed eyes first rested on me?
16861He war a brighter man than I thought, but it is true, do n''t yo''think, Jim?
16861He''s ther feller that Queen-- what''s her name?--O, yes, Queen Dido got soft on?
16861Heart whole?
16861Honest?
16861How about making$ 30,000 at$ 4 per day, Jim?
16861How about £5,000, the old barrister''s step- daughter, and the downs in Devonshire, Jack?
16861How d''yer know but I''d make a pretty good Boer or Kaffir my own self with er little practice?
16861How did you find all this out?
16861How do you mean?
16861How is the division of the proceeds to be made?
16861How long ago war that, Jim?
16861How long before they will come?
16861How long have you worked here, and how much have you saved, Jack?
16861How much are miner''s wages in Virginia City?
16861How much could you afford to give for the property?
16861How much did you keep thinking through so long a time would be sufficient to accumulate before you could come back and''try to steal Rose Jenvie?''
16861How should I know?
16861How will it do so?
16861How would you like to take a trip with me?
16861I believe it, Jack,said Sedgwick;"did you notice that the last blast left nearly the whole face of the drift in ore?
16861I know him?
16861I mean whar they fust got inter ther notion of venturin''out whar ther old shore- shaker could git a good hold on''em?
16861If mining stocks are offered to a man and he buys them, and they do not turn out well, whose loss ought it to be? 16861 If we were to sell to you, would you work the property?"
16861In what form?
16861Indeed it is,she replied, and then she quickly continued,"Does it drift badly along here?"
16861Indeed, he wur; but say, Jim, what do yo''calcerlate his pedigree wur?
16861Is that true, Gracie?
16861Is there another such girl in all the world, Jim?
16861It must uv been like goin''from Tuscon to Fort Yuma in August, do n''t yo''think, Jim?
16861Never har of America and Americans?
16861Not in earnest?
16861Nothin''much,said Jordan,"only hain''t yo''noticed ther newspapers do n''t hardly ever git things right?"
16861Nothing is wrong,she answered,"nothing is wrong, and I have not been crying; have I, Jack?
16861O, Jack, you do n''t mean--?
16861O, Mrs. Hamlin,said Sedgwick,"are you willing that I shall speak to her, that I shall tell her how much she is to me?"
16861O, love, suppose you had not fancied me at all, what would have become of me?
16861Or to Grace?
16861Powerful,said Jordan,"good for fo''mile heats, sho''?
16861Say, Jim,said Jordan,"them folks was a good deal like we is, after all, wuzn''t they?
16861She is not married?
16861Suppose the case were reversed, what would you grant my husband?
16861Suppose yo''and I cud uv cum along heah with this ship when they he d ther fightin''fleets out? 16861 Suppose, Rose, that Jack was as far away, would you think it a long way to go to see him?"
16861The country''round this sea made ther world once, did n''t it?
16861The cowboys yelled with delight at this, crying,''Turner, did you hear that?'' 16861 Then what would I have done?"
16861Then,said Grace,"if I can get that release, and will pay you as much as you receive here, and all your expenses out and back, will you go?"
16861They are good riders and good shots, are they not?
16861They wur the ones that fit Marathon and Thermoperlee, and it wur from ther thet big Aleck cum?
16861This are a daisy ship thet we is on, do n''t you reckon?
16861This are ther water on which men fust learned ter be sailors, arn''t it, Jim?
16861This secures the hill farm of old Jasper-- three hundred acres at forty dollars per acre-- does it not, Sedgwick?
16861This wur the water that divided, wur it not?
16861To New York?
16861True?
16861Well,answered Mackay,"that will be$ 10 for one, will it not?"
16861Were you not sharp, Jack, to get me to commit myself before ever gaining a glimpse of this wonderful man?
16861What ails you, Jim?
16861What are a few thousand years ter God? 16861 What are we to do?"
16861What are you looking for, Jordan?
16861What are you thinking of, sweet?
16861What are your plans, Browning?
16861What can we do?
16861What did they obtain from Jack?
16861What do I think?
16861What do they do?
16861What do you mean, Jack?
16861What do you think of the''Wedge of Gold''announcement?
16861What glorified prevaricators these men are, Grace, are they not?
16861What have you marked out for the future?
16861What have you told Rose about your money matters?
16861What is it, love? 16861 What is it, old friend?"
16861What is it?
16861What is there peculiar about Newgate?
16861What is to- day?
16861What is your idea, Jim?
16861What makes you say that, dearest?
16861What shall we do?
16861What think you he will do?
16861What think you of it, Jack?
16861What war the special charm''bout Paris, Jim? 16861 What will you give me to sell that property for you, Browning?"
16861When did you attend church last, Browning?
16861When did you hear last from your husband?
16861Where can we find a quiet place, Jordan?
16861Where did you learn that trick?
16861Where the mischief did you get that rig, Jordan?
16861Which way are Jerusalem from here, Sedgwick?
16861While I am gone, Grace, get your hat and wrap; and by the way, captain, how many men and officers are there?
16861Who knows how many were lost, how many brave souls were drowned? 16861 Who will give away the bride?"
16861Why do you ask?
16861Why not word it differently, and ask him squarely to buy the stock?
16861Why so?
16861Why will you bother me with those vulgar fractions, Browning? 16861 Why, did n''t I tell yer?"
16861Why, little one?
16861Why, old friend,said Sedgwick,"if you and Rose are all right, what can so upset you?"
16861Why, what can they hope to recover by a suit?
16861Why, what do you know of her? 16861 Why, who is there in---- that would do anything like that?"
16861Why,exclaimed Rose,"what in the world is the matter?
16861Why?
16861Will you make me a report and map?
16861Would you?
16861Wurn''t it from thet place Carthage that ther black feller cum what held ther Dagoes so level fur so long?
16861Yes, I know; but I mean what breed war he? 16861 Yet who knows?"
16861Yo''do n''t mean ter say he wur ther''riginater uv ther Dagoes?
16861Yo''do n''t tell me?
16861You have sold the dear ship?
16861''All that row for five sous?''
16861''How long since ther beautiful metal war discovered?''
16861''If yo''ken make a blamed thing out er it, we''d all like to har it; would n''t we, boys?''
16861''Jest common clay?''
16861''Well,''they said,''but whar''ll the teacher board?''
16861All laughed, and Miss Jenvie said:"Is it true, did you and Jack first meet underground?"
16861And Sedgwick, what of him?
16861And how is your friend?"
16861And thet other chap, Nais, did n''t he settle round here somewhar?"
16861And yo''give the ole man a cool$ 100,000?
16861Are you crazy?
16861Are you glad you are married, Grace?"
16861As they lay down again, Browning said to Sedgwick,"How did you come to be here, Jim?"
16861At last Sedgwick said:"My beautiful, what will your friends say to your marrying a rough miner?"
16861At last he said:"No mistake''bout thet story, Jim?"
16861Browning chuckled at the story, and when Sedgwick ceased he said:"Is n''t it jolly queer that we have been thrown together?
16861But she rallied in a moment and said:"Why not buy the place still?
16861But she recovered herself almost instantly, and said:"Why, Mrs. Sedgwick, do you ask me so strange a question?"
16861But, Jack, could you not get along just as well without me?
16861Buy it at £1 per share?"
16861By the way, have you still your hand on Emanuel, and can you depend upon him?"
16861Did n''t ther useter call ther sea,''Mare?''
16861Did you ever meet her before?"
16861Do n''t yo''reclect readin''''bout her and ther Roman?
16861Do yo''remember, yo''read me once''Ther Midnight Review?''
16861Do you know the reason why?
16861Do you really care for me?"
16861Fishing out a stump of a pencil from the pocket of his pantaloons, he said,"Where is your money, Browning?"
16861Going up to them, and looking into their faces, she said:"Why, Rose, you have been crying; what is wrong, dear?"
16861Grace looked at her intently for a moment, then said:"Is there some one whom you wish exceedingly to see?"
16861Grace smiled and said:"Are you quite satisfied, Jack?"
16861Had he really escaped the African fever and all the dangers that lurked in the weary stretches of treacherous billows?
16861Had we not better sell?
16861Har, waiter, give us a quart of y''r-- whatyer call it?
16861He and Sedgwick clasped hands, and the first words of Sedgwick were:"Jack, are all well, and who is here?"
16861He bent and took an unresisting hand and said:"If you are in trouble, may I not try to be your comforter?"
16861He caught her to him and cried:"Is it true?
16861He looked down into her eyes for a moment and then said:"My heart is likewise heavy, Miss Grace; may I tell you why?"
16861He was silent for a few seconds, and then looking up, said:"Captain McGregor, where do you go next?"
16861How in kingdom cum did yo''get heah?"
16861How much did you say the order on the splinter had brought you?"
16861I love you, I do not know when I did not love you; I have come for you, will you be my wife?"
16861I said,''Why not buy mine?''
16861I shall leave this afternoon; can you go with me?"
16861I spoke up and I says:''Why not put it down in the angle of my best section?''
16861I would not feel half married unless you were present, and then, did you not promise to come and see me through?"
16861I, a rough Nevada miner, linked for life with a London fairy-- beauty and the beast-- what would I do with her?
16861If this showin''makes ther balance sheet fur five thousand years, what''s ther use in tryin''?"
16861In this babel, what could I do?
16861Is it a business trouble?
16861Is it true?
16861Is n''t thet so, Jim?"
16861Is there any news from the mine?"
16861It had ther best talkers, and best public schools, and wur it not thar thet the woman Frina kept house?"
16861It is a clear case that I am gone, and what the mischief am I going to do?
16861Jack and Rose are going with me; will you?"
16861Jack sprang from his chair, and cried:"Are you and Grace fond of each other?"
16861Jim, is it sho nuff you?"
16861Jordan continued"War it not''round yere somewhar''thet ther Greeks lived?"
16861Jordan, does yo''know what''s der matter wid ye?''
16861Jordan?''
16861Mr. Mackay took it and put it in the pocket of the gray shirt which he always wore in the mine, saying jokingly:"Tobacco needed on your watch?"
16861Rose bent over and put her arms around Jack''s neck, and said:"Dear old Jack, do you know what day this is?"
16861Rose spoke first and said:"But, if he is your close friend, and has come to England with you, why does he go back to the hotel?"
16861Said Browning:"I say, Jim, did you mean that mustang story to go for an excuse for Miss Rose calling me''Jack?''"
16861Sedgwick bent over him, and said softly:"What is it, old friend?"
16861Sedgwick declined with thanks, but said:"You want to see the world; how would you like to make a run to the coast of Africa?"
16861Sedgwick listened, and when Jack ceased speaking there was silence for a full minute, until Jack said:"What are you thinking of, Jim?"
16861Sedgwick roused himself and asked,"What do they do in Newgate?"
16861Sedgwick smiled faintly, and Jordan continued:"But are they not er light- hearted, joyus race, tho''?
16861Sedgwick wheeled quickly round when he heard the man''s voice, and, looking up, cried:"Hello, Jordan, how did you leave the boys on the Brazos?"
16861Sedgwick?"
16861Sedgwick?"
16861Separating in London, and he traveling east, would she by coming west find him?
16861She came straight up to Grace, and in a low voice said:"When do you start?"
16861She complied, merely saying:"What do you want to talk about, love?"
16861She twined both her arms around one of his arms and said teasingly:"Are not you and I engaged, and is not ours a prior engagement?"
16861She walked a few steps, then turned back and said:"Why would it not be the right thing for Mr. Jordan and Margaret to be married before you leave?"
16861Should he carry the petted London girl to his home and friends in the Miami Valley, would there not be reproaches felt even if not spoken?
16861Should he offer his love and be rejected, what then?
16861Should the impossible happen and he should be accepted, what then?
16861So soon as Sedgwick and his bride were by themselves, Grace said:"Love, did you ever hear anything half as sweet as that singing?"
16861Still he ran on:"Wur it not on this water thet old Solomon fitted out ships for ther Ophir diggings?"
16861Suppose Mr. Browning by and by bonds me ten thousand shares less than half he has got, with this in my pocket who will then have ze control?
16861Suppose again, I could fool her into accepting, then what?
16861Suppose my husband had done by you as you have dealt with Jack, and you had him where you now are, what mercy would you show him?"
16861The convincing argument was made by Jordan, who said:"Supposin''you hedn''t a- come, whar would I a- bin now?"
16861The director ran over his correspondence, and, looking up with a smile, said:"Is your son''s name John Browning?
16861The first thing to do is to be on our way-- only, do Mr. and Mrs. Browning also know my secret?"
16861Then Miss Grace interposed;"Mr. Sedgwick,"said she,"is not Texas a land where there are a great many cattle?"
16861Then after a pause he spoke again, and his next question was:"What did yo''call them ships thet ther old fellers sailed?"
16861Then he added:"Are you very sure that nothing could ever come between his love and you?"
16861Then on the splinter he wrote for a moment, and then said,"How is this?"
16861Then she crept nearer him, and with serious accent said:"My love, if happily our lives shall be united, whom will it be for, our friends or ourselves?
16861Then what did Jack mean by bringing a prize- fighter home with him?
16861Then, did you notice as we met the car coming out, it had long drills in it, and the shift boss was following it up close?
16861Then, looking up, she said:"Have you spoken of this to Jack?"
16861They arrived at the village at midnight and went to a hotel, or, as Sedgwick said:"This, Jack, is han Hinglish Hinn, is it?"
16861War he one of them ere Ethiopians?"
16861What could she do on the old Jasper farm on the hill?
16861What did they think of yo''then?
16861What has so upset you this morning?"
16861What is it that is troubling you?"
16861What is the matter with me now?
16861What is wrong, dear?"
16861What kind of a check have you?"
16861What possessed you to sell out and leave?"
16861What say you, love?"
16861What was best to do?
16861What would you have thought had I insisted upon stopping at that hotel at the station near your father''s house?"
16861Which way do the indications lead?"
16861While riding through Nevada, Browning, after a long look from the car window, said:"By Jove, Jim, but is not this a desolate region?
16861Why can we not be married?
16861Why do you ask?"
16861Why should he have left his bride at the church door and gone off to America?"
16861Will you not kindly carry them to the surface and read them?"
16861Will you not test our friendship in real truth?"
16861Would he be well?
16861Would he really come?
16861Would n''t we hev astonished them old- timers?"
16861Wur it not lucky neither hoss war hit?"
16861Yo''remember how yo''read, Jim?
16861have you found an oil well on your farm, robbed a bank, or what?"
16861said Jordan,''would yo''mount that wild beast?
16861said cabbie,"what do they do?
16861when will a man get$ 30,000 working for$ 4 a day on the Comstock?"
12270A lump of tallow, dost thou hear, my Prudencia?
12270Ah, can_ I_ make_ you_ tremble? 12270 All?
12270An Estenega? 12270 And at your suggestion?"
12270And books will suffice, then?
12270And did not I dream that Tomaso and Liseta would marry? 12270 And he may die?"
12270And how is, thy little one?
12270And if I saw you every day for two months would I no longer care whether you came or went?
12270And thou lovest thy brother?
12270And thou wilt stay?
12270And why dost thou walk when thou canst sit down?
12270And yet thou wouldst not help her brother?
12270And you forgave and were forgiven?
12270And you would never disobey one of her mandates?
12270Are we all such shams as that?
12270Are you ambitious?
12270Are you an atheist?
12270Are you aware,he said, abruptly,"that your brother is accused of conspiracy?"
12270Are you not a Catholic?
12270Are you sure that you still hate him?
12270Art thou afraid?
12270Art thou asking me how I like the enemy of my house? 12270 Art thou sure that to train the intellect means happiness?"
12270Before you do what?
12270But do you think her beautiful?
12270But why not accept this break? 12270 Can one go to confession with a hating and an unforgiving heart?
12270Canst thou not put thy meaning in fewer words?
12270Canst thou not wait until he comes thy way?
12270Did he not come from the ball- room with thee?
12270Did he say that, Eustaquia?
12270Diego,I said, divided between despair and curiosity,"you have fancied many women: wherein does your feeling for Chonita differ?
12270Do you care?
12270Do you know what I thought as I stood by you in the church?
12270Do you realize that again you have raised a barrier between yourself and your religion? 12270 Do you realize that you are playing with fire?"
12270Do you so despise your womanhood, the most perfect thing about you?
12270Do you suppose I shall let you do anything of the sort? 12270 Do you want me to go?"
12270Does it look well, Don Diego?
12270Don Diego Estenega,said the Governor,"will you tell us what you have thought whilst the others have talked?"
12270Dost thou know where he has gone?
12270Dost thou think I am made of doubloons, that thou wouldst buy a whole ship''s cargo? 12270 Dost thou wish to?"
12270Gentlemen,he said,"will you not sit down and smoke another cigarito?
12270Have you begun to realize that your Church can not satisfy you?
12270Have you no remorse?
12270How can I tell what the captain has until I see? 12270 How can he be, when in each moment of attainment he is pricked by the knowledge that it must soon be over?
12270How did you know that I came?
12270How dost thou feel?
12270I believe I was made from his rib,she thought, angrily,"else why can he have this extraordinary power over me?
12270If he goes to Santa Barbara with Alvarado this summer wilt thou ask him to be thy guest?
12270Is Anita alone with you?
12270Is it sweet or terrible to feel this way?
12270Is it true that he has been conspiring with Carillo, and that an extraordinary and secret session of the Departmental Junta has been called?
12270Is it true that this Estenega of whom I hear so much is a member of the Junta?
12270Is not that a woman to make known to herself? 12270 Is she not beautiful?"
12270Is there gold in these mountains?
12270It is more satisfactory to stay at home and read about it?
12270It is war, then?
12270Life is always the same with thee, I suppose,--smoking, riding, swinging in the hammock?
12270Like what does he look? 12270 Most of our guests leave this afternoon: will you let me sleep alone to- night?"
12270Mother of God, wilt thou ever forgive me?
12270My brother is to be arrested, you say?
12270Nothing would have been done if it had not been for you?
12270Señor,murmured Valencia,"thou wilt tarry with us long, no?
12270Shall I bring thy mantilla, Doña Carmen?
12270Shall I tell you? 12270 Suppose,"she said, suddenly,--"suppose you had failed, and those men had seized me and made me captive: what then?"
12270Tell me,she cried, trembling from head to foot, the blood rushing over her face,"did I go to your room last night?"
12270Tell me,she exclaimed,"what is it in you that I want?--that I need?
12270Tell me,she said, imperiously,"what do you want?"
12270Tell me?
12270Then is anything worth while except reading? 12270 Then is no one happy?"
12270Then of what use to live at all?
12270Then why have you brought me here?
12270There-- do you see that?
12270Thou art rested, Doña Eustaquia? 12270 Thou askest perjury and disloyalty and dishonor of an Iturbi y Moncada?"
12270Thou darest to say that to me, and yet would marry my sister?
12270Thou hast come here in the night to ask me such a question as that?
12270Thou must have eaten too many dulces for supper: didst thou?
12270Thou wilt be one of my bridesmaids, no, Doña Valencia?
12270Thou wilt keep thy promise soon, no?
12270Thou wilt think of what I have said?
12270Thou wouldst have me marry him? 12270 Thou wouldst not exchange thy life for another?
12270To curse?
12270To what end? 12270 Very well; come with me and thou shalt know him.--Wilt thou come too, Eustaquia?
12270What a beautiful wedding, no?
12270What did you mean by such a performance?
12270What difference, if the next generation be beautiful?
12270What do you mean?
12270What dost thou mean?
12270What has a baby like that to confess?
12270What have I done?
12270What have you read?
12270What is it thou wishest me to understand, Reinaldo?
12270What is she?
12270What is that? 12270 What is that?"
12270What is the matter?
12270What is this rumor of pirates on the coast?
12270What promise?
12270What?
12270What?
12270Where are we? 12270 Where have you been, sir?"
12270Where is Estenega?--and the Castros?
12270Where is Reinaldo?
12270Where is his Excellency?
12270Who is?
12270Who?
12270Why canst thou not be more sincere, my brother? 12270 Why did he, of all others, tarry?"
12270Why did you never ask me for what you wanted?
12270Why do I feel like this for you? 12270 Why dost thou wear that black gown this beautiful morning?"
12270Why have you brought me here?
12270Why not call me a Jesuit? 12270 Why?
12270Why?
12270Will you walk to that opening over there with me? 12270 Wilt thou be glad to see Reinaldo, my Prudencia?"
12270Wilt thou go?
12270Wilt thou not present him to me?
12270Wilt thou not stay with us here in Monterey?
12270Wilt thou stay with me?
12270Would I regret if he no longer made me tremble, or would I go on my knees and thank the Blessed Virgin?
12270Would I sacrifice my country for her a year hence?
12270Would nothing tempt thee to stay, Don Diego?
12270Yes, mamacita?
12270You are warmly clad?
12270You believe that, Chonita?
12270You have read all those books?
12270You no longer care?
12270You-- you would have the Americans? 12270 A delusion? 12270 A man? 12270 A renegade? 12270 Again she asked herself, what did it mean? 12270 And her brother? 12270 And if he had had the same advantages-- those years in Mexico and America and Europe-- would he not know as much as Diego Estenega? 12270 And is not the Virgin the model for all women?
12270And now that you are reasonably sure of being forgiven, will not you forgive me?
12270And she?
12270And the vow I made,--do you forget that?
12270And the words of it?
12270And thou wilt tell me all about thy visit to Monterey, no?"
12270And wouldst thou like any of my white things?
12270And you,--how long could you love anybody?
12270And, being safe, why should I deny myself the pleasure of talking to him?
12270Are you going to let that girl alone?"
12270Art thou alone?"
12270As for your vow,--what is a vow?
12270As to the exercise of it-- why not?
12270But come and take thy siesta, no?
12270But could I,_ I_, conspire against a wise and great man like Juan Bautista Alvarado?
12270But what are our men?
12270But what are we to do with this life?
12270But what has Mexico done for California?
12270But whither is all this tending, Diego?
12270But why worthier?
12270But you-- are you resigned to the time when even the withered old beau will not look at you,--you who are the loveliest woman in the Californias?"
12270But, my sister, is it not so that one can sacrifice himself, his mere personal feelings, upon the altar of his country?
12270Come to the dining- room, no?"
12270Could the folly of man further go?"
12270Could these Missions have been built without gold?--these thousands of Indians Christianized?"
12270Couldst thou not have spoken a few simple words like himself, and not blackened thy soul?"
12270Did not I dream that the good captain would bring pink silk stockings?
12270Did not every gown already made have a train longer than herself?
12270Did you ever see bay bluer than that?
12270Do not stay long at the church, no?
12270Do not you hear the voices?"
12270Do we go to the ship, my uncle?
12270Do you care to hear more?"
12270Do you forget my vow?"
12270Do you picture, in a life of solitude and cold devotion to phantoms, any happiness equal to what you would find here in my arms?"
12270Do you think I will give her up for a trifle like that?"
12270Do you think a Catholic would break that vow?
12270Do you understand?"
12270Do you want water?"
12270Does it not give us the power to abstract ourselves from life when we are tired of it?"
12270Does not the Bible say that faith shall make ye whole?
12270Dost thou believe in dreams?"
12270Dost thou realize that our Reinaldo will be with us this night?
12270For a moment I thought her terrible hatred was about to hurl its vengeance at me; but she only asked,--"What did he say?"
12270Had she been to Estenega''s room the night before?
12270Hast thou been well and happy since I left?"
12270Hast thou ever known any one who could converse with lighter ease than I and thy brother?"
12270Have you been to confession?"
12270He had reason to believe that gold lay under California; but where?
12270He looked into her rich Southern face and approved of it: when had he ever failed to approve of a pretty woman?
12270How are you?"
12270How can I accomplish this great and desirable end?
12270How can I avoid to ask him, when he is of the party?"
12270How can I find this place from without?"
12270How can you be sure that this is love?
12270How could imagination shape such scenes, such perfection of union, of companionship, if reality were not?
12270How could it be?
12270How couldst thou?"
12270How dared a woman with hair of gold wear the color of the brunette?
12270How dost thou like my friend, Chonita?"
12270I am ambitious for him; and so art thou, Chonita, for thy brother?
12270I do not know the princess, although she has sent me word many times to visit her-- Did an Indian try to carry her off?"
12270If the man is ready to bend his neck in sacrifice to the glory of his house, is it for the woman to think?"
12270Is it Ramon, Esteban, or Diego?
12270Is it not so, my Prudencia?"
12270Is it not so, my sister?"
12270Is it not so?"
12270Is it possible that a man calling himself a Californian could give utterance to such sentiments?
12270Is it so?"
12270Is it true--_ay, triste de mi!_--what he said of my brother?
12270Is it you?--you?"
12270Is that thy meaning?"
12270It is hope of future reward, I suppose,--or fear?"
12270It would infuriate me if done in private; why should it not at least disgust me in public?
12270May I kiss your hand?"
12270Poor grain of sand-- what can he give, comparable to the cold serene happiness of fidelity to self?
12270Reinaldo conspire against his government?
12270Shall I say that I have a worthier motive in wishing to aid in the development of civilization?
12270Shall I tell it to a woman,--and an Iturbi y Moncada?
12270Shall his daughter be weak where he was strong?
12270Shall we gallop back?
12270Shall we gallop?"
12270She turned to Adan:"They will be happy, you think,--Reinaldo and Prudencia?"
12270Suppose thou hadst to sacrifice thy religion or thy books, never to read another?
12270Tell me, how do you like my friend Valencia?"
12270Tell me, my daughter,--God of my soul, but I am glad to have thee back!--what thoughtest thou of this son of the Estenegas?
12270Tell me,--you know everything, and I so little,--why is it?"
12270Thou art devoted to thy house, no?"
12270Thou dost not wish to travel?"
12270Thou rememberest the books that were burned by the priests when the governor was a boy, because he had dared to read them, no?
12270Thou smilest, my daughter; but thou wilt not commend the enemy of thy house, no?
12270Thou wilt not ask him to cross the threshold of Casa Grande?"
12270Thou wilt stay now, no?
12270Thou wouldst make a Christmas doll of thyself with satin that is too heavy for thy grandmother, and eke out thy dumpy inches with a train?
12270Under what hill?
12270Was he dead?
12270Was it like living over again the books of travel?"
12270Was not in her arms the oldest- born of a new generation of Alvarados?
12270Was the soul but brain?
12270What I want to know is this: Is it your duty to gallivant about town?
12270What can you tell me of him?
12270What could I do?
12270What did it mean?
12270What do you think of her?"
12270What does he care that the women of his day are coffee- colored and stringy or fat?
12270What else could I be here?"
12270What good has the wisdom in my books done me, when I confess my dependence upon a man, and that man my enemy-- and the acquaintance of a few weeks?"
12270What have men of exceptional talent to fight down in the Californias except the barriers to its development?
12270What have we done with it in our seventy years of possession?
12270What is this terrible power?"
12270What is your idea of love?"
12270What must she think?
12270What was thy dream, my Chonita?"
12270What will the next generation be?
12270What will you do then?"
12270What would she do in the coming convulsion?
12270What would you have the stumbling and unanchored do with what has been thrust upon him?"
12270What-- what had happened to this proud, reserved, careless daughter of the Iturbi y Moncadas?
12270Where had The Doomswoman, the proud daughter of the Iturbi y Moncadas, gone?
12270Where is my pride now?
12270Where is the outlet?"
12270Which wouldst thou choose?"
12270Who is there to love?
12270Who shall judge the complex heart of a man?
12270Who, who, in sober reason, would defy that brace of frowning gods?"
12270Why are our few great men so very great to us?
12270Why are you a Catholic?
12270Why are you afraid to disobey?
12270Why do n''t you go to Paris again?
12270Why do you cling to the Church with your back braced against your intelligence?
12270Why should he care to talk so to another woman?
12270Why?
12270Will Doña California be pleased to observe that whale spouting in the bay?
12270Will you help me, or not?
12270Will you show me the other way out?"
12270Wilt thou do it?"
12270Wilt thou marry me?"
12270Wilt thou send these things to the North, to be worn by an Estenega?
12270Wilt thou unhand her?"
12270Would I, a Californian maiden, betroth myself without his knowledge?"
12270Would you not rather live in our capital?
12270Would you?"
12270You are so far away down there, and there are but few of the_ gente de razon_, no?"
12270You fall back into the bosom of your Church with joy, I suppose?"
12270You have traveled everywhere, no?
12270You would cast this fair gift of Almighty God at the feet of American swine?
12270You would invite, welcome, uphold, the American adventurer?
12270You would tear apart the bosom of your country under pretense of doctoring its evils?
12270and are they not my own this minute?"
12270and not ride those five leagues twice again?
12270and shall we buy this afternoon?
12270he will fall in love with her; and what then?"
12270is it the delirium?"
12270or a more perfect semicircle of hills than this?
12270or a more straggling town?
12270or is your place at this hour beside your wife?"
12270or sand whiter?
12270she added to herself,"why do I not tell who alone is to blame?
12270the daughter of the governor of The Californias?
19928Ai n''t dey some way to stop that, corporal?
19928And meantime having my beasts eating barley by the bucketful so that I wo n''t have enough to get through? 19928 Are you ready, Jim?"
19928But you have come through all alone, my friend; why should I not go? 19928 Did you see the smoke?"
19928Do you suppose I can rest one conscious minute until I know what has become of my babies?
19928Do you want me, Pike?
19928Has the whole Apache nation come to reinforce them? 19928 Is it a panther?"
19928Is papa there?
19928Just save a little breakfast for the captain and me, will you? 19928 May I say a word to the captain?"
19928Now, is your rifle all ready?
19928Of course I can, corporal, but where are you going to sleep?
19928Oh!--can''t I take a pop at him?
19928See?
19928That you, Manuelito?
19928That you, Pike? 19928 There''s your Indian, James, my boy,"softly laughed Pike and, turning, he called back into the cave:"Ned, are you asleep?"
19928Well, why did n''t they attack you, then, Al?
19928Well, wo n''t you at least wait and camp here a day or so? 19928 What d''you want?"
19928What did you see? 19928 What is it, then?"
19928What is it?
19928What''s thim for?
19928Where are you?
19928Where did you leave them, captain? 19928 Where is he gone?"
19928Where you at?
19928Where''s Manuelito?
19928Where''s papa?
19928Where''s the captain and the wagon?
19928A hundred yards off the road they halted and Gwynne called back into the darkness:"How''s Manuelito getting on, Pike?"
19928Are the horses all right?
19928Are you ready, Jim?"
19928At their head rode two officers, and one, he knew at once, must be his old captain, but why that bandage about his head?
19928But how was he to conceal the severed side line?
19928But what on earth are they bunched so for?
19928Ca n''t I come to you now?
19928Could it be one of the Apaches?
19928Could it be the sentinel from the other side?
19928Did none of you see?"
19928Do let me have one shot at them?
19928Got it?"
19928How are the kids-- sleeping?"
19928Is he all ready, Manuelito?
19928Is n''t it so, pet?"
19928It could only defer the moment of their capture and then-- what would be the fate of those poor little ones and of honest old Kate?
19928It''s Captain Gwynne?"
19928King He Drew Little Nell close to Him Manuelito Was shuffling about the Fire Apparently doing Nothing"Where''s Manuelito?"
19928Now are you game for it, Jim?"
19928Now can you find that point where we turn off the road to get into the rock corral?"
19928Now what did that mean?
19928Now, can you do it?"
19928Out of the fire light and back to the grazing ground he must get the horse at once-- but what then?
19928See?"
19928See?"
19928The first question he longed to ask was:"Has the captain got back?"
19928The old trooper would shed his heart''s blood in their defence, but what would that avail against a gang of howling Apaches?
19928WHAT CAN HAVE HAPPENED?
19928Was he not conscious that her eldest boy must be now fourteen, named for him, Martin Pike, and a young American all through?
19928Was it possible they had abandoned the pursuit?
19928We''d make some of''em sick Indians; would n''t we, old girl?"
19928What can have Happened?
19928What can have happened?
19928What can it mean?
19928What cared he for Apaches?
19928What could it mean?
19928What did I tell you?"
19928What has happened?"
19928What''s the matter back there?"
19928What''s the reason your man has n''t fired?--the man behind the rock that I told you to kill?"
19928What''s up?"
19928When they were out of earshot of the ambulance he turned:"Have you heard nothing-- no hoof beats?"
19928When would that be?
19928Where could that have come from?
19928Where is Al Sieber?
19928Where the old comrades from Verde?
19928Where-- where can the father be?
19928Which way did he come?
19928Who can say with what love and yearning the father bent over those little faces as he peered in upon them?
19928Who on earth can it be?
19928Why should not he?
19928Why the rude sling in which his arm was carried?
19928Wo n''t you give old Pike some coffee now, and some bacon and_ frijoles_?"
19928You and Nellie hungry?
19928You''ll take care of her, wo n''t you, Ned, my boy?"
19928[ Illustration:"WHERE''S MANUELITO?"]
19928the rifles rattled up the rocky slopes, but where could the bullets go?
18150A forest fire is quite literally hell, is n''t it?
18150A log house with two rooms, where some shingle- bolts had been cut-- with a bolt- chute leading downhill?
18150An oculist? 18150 And how do you happen to know my given name?"
18150And if they do?
18150And that would have been worse than what I did do,she said,"would n''t it?"
18150And you sometimes resent that attitude, eh?
18150Are n''t you ever mistaken in those impressionistic estimates of people?
18150Are n''t you glad to see me?
18150Are we getting near the Channel Islands?
18150Are you glad to see me?
18150Are you glad you''re here?
18150Are you happy?
18150Are you justifying it as an act of mercy to me?
18150Are you sure,she asked point- blank,"that your face will make any difference to Doris?"
18150At any rate, you do n''t hold a grudge against me, do you?
18150Besides, do you really think that illusions are necessary to happiness?
18150But her eyes will be all right again?
18150But what can he do? 18150 But what did you think of''The Man Who Could n''t Die''?"
18150But you do n''t find it so, eh?
18150But your friends and relatives?
18150Can you recommend an able lawyer-- one with considerable experience in timber litigation preferred?
18150Can you use another man?
18150Come up in the morning, will you, and check in what cedar I have piled? 18150 Complete normal sight?"
18150Did you get anything out of that?
18150Did you have any idea that Mills had that sort of feeling for her?
18150Did you think I would n''t?
18150Did you think your only distinguishing characteristic was the shape of your face? 18150 Dirty job this, eh?"
18150Do I seem excited?
18150Do any of those things strike you as serious obstacles now-- when I have my arms around you?
18150Do n''t you ever wish you had a wife who could see? 18150 Do n''t you like me to come, Robin?"
18150Do people never profit by their mistakes? 18150 Do you have to?"
18150Do you know that you have a wonderful sense of direction, Doris?
18150Do you people realize what a panoramic beauty is here before your eyes all the time?
18150Do you realize what you''re saying?
18150Do you think I might do that?
18150Do you think it''s strange that I should feel and speak like this?
18150Do you think there is any danger of that?
18150Do you?
18150Drink myself into a state of mind where the world glitters and becomes joyful, eh? 18150 Evidently you are n''t aware what has happened to Lewis?
18150Eyes all right?
18150Fair or dark?
18150Glad?
18150Have I ever thought that?
18150How bad are you hurt, Charlie?
18150How can any one say what he means when he is not quite sure what he does mean? 18150 How can it help?"
18150How can you tell what sort of man I am?
18150How could he deliberately cultivate an illusion?
18150How did it happen?
18150How did you find that out before you were committed to the enterprise?
18150How do I know what you may do?
18150How in heaven''s name did a man like that catch your fancy in the first place?
18150How''s everything?
18150I wonder if I shall continue to see more and more?
18150I wonder if Lawanne is right? 18150 I wonder if a fellow_ could_ make it go in Mexico?"
18150I wonder if it is such a desperate chance?
18150I wonder if you think I''m a little mad?
18150I wonder what he''d do if there was no inheritance to fall back on?
18150I wonder,Hollister said to Lawanne, as they walked home,"what''ll become of Bland?
18150I wonder,she said,"if they are so very poor?
18150If it is, why do you want to take it?
18150If this satisfies you, why not come back again after you''ve had a fling at the outside?
18150Is Charlie Mills devoid of understanding, or Lawanne?
18150Is it as bad as that?
18150Is it dark on one side and light on the other?
18150Is it right?
18150Is it so bad as that?
18150Is it such a tragedy, after all?
18150Is n''t it beautiful-- beautiful?
18150Is n''t it queer the way death affects you under different circumstances? 18150 Is n''t it queer,"Doris went on,"how vivid a thing personality is?
18150Is there a fire on the flat?
18150Is what?
18150Makes people shy off, eh? 18150 May I find you a warm place to sit?"
18150Mills did n''t go out with the rest of the crew?
18150Mrs. Hollister is recovering her sight?
18150Of me?
18150Oh,Lawanne turned to her,"You think so?
18150Robin,she said, with a wistful, uncertain smile,"if Doris_ does_ will you let me help you pick up the pieces?"
18150Slaves to what?
18150So you recognize me?
18150Steamer?
18150Tell me, do you want me to love you-- or do n''t you care?
18150That''s their window light, eh?
18150The point is, who shall pay for the mistake?
18150Then why reveal this knowledge?
18150Then you do n''t believe there is a Destiny that shapes our ends, rough- hew them how we will?
18150They did that for you?
18150This Lewis above me?
18150Well?
18150Well?
18150Were you ever in their house?
18150What about?
18150What are you going to do about it?
18150What became of it?
18150What can I expect?
18150What did you talk about then?
18150What do you think of Bland?
18150What does it really mean? 18150 What has happened?"
18150What in the world put such a notion as that into your head?
18150What is it, Doris?
18150What is that, Bob?
18150What''ll we do?
18150What''s the matter?
18150What''s the use of telling you?
18150What''s up, old thing?
18150When did you learn it?
18150Where are we now, Bob?
18150Why did n''t you come back?
18150Why did you do that?
18150Why do n''t you take it easier?
18150Why do you go on living with him, if that''s the way you feel?
18150Why do you say that?
18150Why drag out the old skeleton and rattle it for no purpose? 18150 Why so mum?"
18150Why, good Lord,he cried sharply,"what would be the good of all this effort, only for you?
18150Why?
18150Why?
18150Will you take my big canoe and bring Doris up the river? 18150 Would you blame her?"
18150You are n''t a western man, are you?
18150You did this?
18150You do n''t mind, do you?
18150You have n''t a very charitable opinion of me, have you, Robin?
18150You have n''t succeeded in finding a buyer, I suppose?
18150You let Jim have some money this morning?
18150_ Do_ you see me?
18150About a week later he came to Hollister and in a most casual manner said,"I say, old man, can you let me have a hundred dollars?
18150After supper, as Mills rose to leave for the upper camp, he said to Doris:"Have you got that book of his-- about the fellow that could n''t die?
18150All this evil that some hidden good might accrue?
18150Am I so unlovable a creature?
18150And do you mind if I talk to you?
18150And if a man, searching for this woman, bore up the mountain side and came at last to the log cabin-- what would he find?
18150And if so-- then why?
18150And if when she sees me she ca n''t stand me-- isn''t that enough?"
18150And since he is n''t responsible for the way he''s made, what the hell can he do?"
18150And the sum total of their actions and reactions-- what was it?
18150And who and what was responsible for each one''s individual conception of what he wanted?
18150And why not, he asked himself?
18150Are n''t you_ ever_ sorry?"
18150Are you sure you stand to lose anything-- or is it simply a fear of what you may lose?"
18150Bland, for instance-- Tell me, Bob, is she pretty?"
18150But how?
18150But why did you just say you were glad I was blind?"
18150But would he?
18150But would it stand the test of sight?
18150But would it survive?
18150But would she have found pleasure in the sound of his voice, the touch of his hand?
18150CHAPTER X"Why not go in there and take that cedar out yourself?"
18150Can I go to work again?"
18150Could n''t you either forget or forgive?"
18150Did he have some objective that centered about Myra Bland?
18150Did she mean anything?
18150Did you ever listen to the slides muttering and grumbling last winter when you were here, Bob?"
18150Did you read those books?"
18150Do n''t you see?"
18150Do you feel as if you liked me-- enough to take a chance?
18150Do you remember how it was?
18150Do you remember the bottle of Scotch we pinched from the Black Major behind the brick wall on the Albert Road?
18150Do you remember what you said?"
18150Do you think I''m facile and shallow?
18150Do you wish I could always be near you?"
18150Do you, Robin?"
18150Does it mean anything to you?
18150Does it to you?"
18150Does it trouble you to have me a self- appointed anchor to windward?"
18150Does the lady suspect I''m the reincarnation of her dear departed?
18150For Hollister the question was not,"Is this thing right or wrong in the eyes of the world?"
18150For what purpose?
18150For what purpose?
18150Have you a price in mind, Mr. Hollister, for a quick sale?"
18150His friends?
18150His own people?
18150Hollister?"
18150How could a man with a face so mutilated that it was grotesque, repellent, cultivate the delicate flower of friendship?
18150How could he know what image of him, what ideal, resided tenaciously in her mind, and whether it would survive the shock of reality?
18150How could it be otherwise?
18150How could she know?
18150How could they discern behind that caricature of a face the human desire for friendliness, the ache of a bruised spirit?
18150How could they have modified life, bent it purposefully to its greatest fulfilment?
18150How has it paid you?
18150How_ could_ it matter now?
18150I take it you have n''t been reading the papers?"
18150I wonder if you meant it?
18150I''m not very consistent, am I?"
18150If she could love you without seeing you, if you appealed to her, why should your marred face make her turn away from you?"
18150If she had any inkling of the truth, how would she feel?
18150If they expected to get that stuff out profitably, why should n''t I?
18150If they loved, why did they not commit themselves boldly to the undertaking, take matters in their own hands and have an end to all secrecy?
18150If you could-- what sort of picture of me have you in your mind?"
18150Instead he murmured,"Is that why you were doubting me?
18150Is all your much advertised kindliness and sympathy for war- broken men a bluff?"
18150Is it so terrible a thing, after all?
18150Is n''t it, Robin?"
18150Is that it?"
18150Lawanne''s clever, is n''t he?
18150Meantime--_pax_--_pax_--"Where is Doris and the adorable infant?"
18150Must one, even in this desolate place, kow- tow to the conventions devised to prop up the weak and untrustworthy?
18150Or have you some purpose?"
18150Or was that, he asked himself doubtfully, just another illusion which would uphold him for awhile and then perish?
18150Or was there some purpose in it all?
18150Or would she endure that frightful mien until she could first pity, then embrace?
18150Rotten luck, eh?"
18150She herself?
18150Should he condemn himself and Doris Cleveland to heartache and loneliness because of a technicality?
18150So you lived up there?"
18150Some one who accepts you sight unseen, as she would any man who spoke and acted courteously?
18150Sound interesting?"
18150Speaking of Lawanne, I wonder if he really does intend to stay here this winter and write a book?"
18150The man she lived with?
18150Then, if he wanted her, why should he not take her?
18150There was a defiant recklessness in her tone when she said:"Do you think I need a chaperone?
18150Think I''m apt to fall in love with this charming lady?"
18150To what end?
18150Was Myra holding him like a pawn in some obscure game that she played to feed her vanity?
18150Was all your talk about honorable scars just prattle to mislead the men who risked the scars?
18150Was it for some such inscrutable purpose that men died by the hundred thousand in Europe?
18150Was some sentient force chastening him, scourging him with rods for the good of his soul?
18150Was that why Doris Cleveland had been deprived of her sight?
18150Was the man a victim of hopeless passion, lingering near the unobtainable because he could not tear himself away?
18150Was there nothing more than that?
18150We ca n''t alter facts by pretending they do n''t exist, can we?"
18150Well, what of it, Hollister asked himself?
18150What are scars?
18150What did Myra mean by that confidence?
18150What did it matter, after all?
18150What did it mean to us?
18150What do you propose to do about this?"
18150What does it matter?
18150What else was there?
18150What had become of the money?
18150What is there to do?"
18150What kept him, Hollister wondered?
18150What manner of folk were they?
18150What was done in that matter?"
18150What was it drove you into Doris Cleveland''s arms a month after you met her?
18150What was she thinking about, Hollister wondered?
18150What was that to you and me?
18150What would she do?
18150What would she think, if she knew, this dainty creature cuddling against his knee?
18150What would she think?
18150What would she, say?
18150What''s the name?"
18150What''s your secret?"
18150When is Doris coming back?"
18150When?"
18150Where is there such?
18150Where was the good forthcoming out of so much that was evil, he asked?
18150Where would be the fun of working and planning and anticipating things?
18150Who was Doris Cleveland and why had she left her books to the rats?
18150Who was he to escape?
18150Who was he to judge her?
18150Who were they?
18150Why Myra had been torn by contradictory passions during her troubled life and had perished at last, a victim of passions that burst control?
18150Why ca n''t a gentleman, an athlete and a sportsman make his quarters something a little better than a Siwash would be contented with?
18150Why did she and her English husband bury themselves in a rude shack by a river that whispered down a lonely valley?
18150Why did she reveal this knowledge of him?
18150Why do n''t you offer Bland a job?
18150Why do n''t you?"
18150Why had n''t she acquired this knowledge of herself long ago?
18150Why should I?
18150Why should he be governed by practical considerations?
18150Why should there be?
18150Why should you supply him with money that you''ve worked for when he wo n''t make any effort to get it for himself?
18150Why so curious?"
18150Why?
18150Will he give himself up, or will they have to hunt him?"
18150Will you undertake this matter for me?"
18150Wo n''t it be splendid?
18150Would he have taken her to his arms as gladly, as joyously, if she had come to him with a face twisted out of all semblance to its natural lines?
18150Would it be worth while?
18150Would it seem strange?"
18150Would she look and shudder and turn away?
18150Would she presently bestow a cursory glance upon him and withdraw to some other part of the ship?
18150Would she-- reckoning the chance that she learned he was alive-- rise up to denounce him?
18150Would you-- honest, now?"
18150Yet who could tell?
18150You do n''t perceive the Great Design, the Perfect Plan, in all that we do?"
18150You feel a little bit glad to come across some one who does n''t know whether your face is straight or crooked?
18150You got my letter, did n''t you?"
18150You lose-- what?
18150You often have very definite impressions in your mind about people you have never seen, do n''t you?"
18150You want men?"
18150You''ve become almost a part of me-- I wonder if you understand that?"
18150_ You_ would n''t go bear- hunting, I suppose?"
18150but"Is it right for her and for me?"
18964A hundred thousand dollars, cash, I believe? 18964 A thousand dollars?
18964And after all, do n''t you think one''s nose is like one''s gown in that it''s true effect lies in the way one wears it?
18964And so my name is really the only thing commendable about me?
18964And your proposition?
18964Are there not enough cheap law breakers? 18964 Are we just going to step into a ballroom for the masquerade?"
18964Are you badly hurt?
18964Are you married to either of the hang dogs with whom you are travelling?
18964Because of me?
18964Because there are a couple of men out there to see, I suppose?
18964Because you have found gold, much gold,she returned,"must I come to you penniless, like a beggar?"
18964But are quite willing to let me babble on?
18964But surely some come just through a sense of curiosity?
18964By the way, Mr. Newly- made Croesus, does this mountain belong to you, too? 18964 Ca n''t you get a woman to help?"
18964Ca n''t you help me?
18964Ca n''t you see the man is sick? 18964 Ca n''t you see the uniform?
18964Captain Sefton,went on the girl quite calmly,"will you see what you can do for that man?
18964Could n''t you tell that the fool has money?
18964Coward, am I? 18964 Did n''t you hear me?"
18964Did you hear me, Rand?
18964Do n''t you hear me?
18964Do n''t you know of Paul Bellaire?
18964Do n''t you know that I mean what I say? 18964 Do n''t you want me to tell you of that?"
18964Do you guess what I am going to do? 18964 Do you hate me, Ygerne, because always I was brute to you?"
18964Do you hear me?
18964Do you love Ygerne Bellaire, Dave?
18964Do you remember? 18964 Do you think I am a coward?"
18964Do you think I am dying? 18964 Do you think I am ungrateful?
18964Do you think I run around with a proposition to make every prospector who thinks he''s found a bonanza? 18964 Double again?"
18964Drunk, eh?
18964Early? 18964 For a fortune you''d repay me with a smile, would you?
18964Forgive you?
18964Gone?
18964Has Kootanie George done this to you?
18964Have they robbed the Bank of England?
18964Have you made a dicker with any one?
18964He is delirious?
18964How big are you bettin''''em?
18964How long will it take us to get to it?
18964How old are you?
18964I suppose you''ve done that sort of thing before?
18964I think that that is all, is n''t it, Lieutenant?
18964I wonder how frightened you''d have to be before you could pull the trigger?
18964I wonder if you know that?
18964I''ll give you five hundred if you can tell me why?
18964I''ve been sick?
18964If all of the nonsense were taken out of life what would be left, I wonder?
18964If you mean Greaser why do n''t you say Greaser?
18964If you will allow me, Ygerne? 18964 In hell''s name,"he cried abruptly, his voice ringing with a new menace in it,"what are you doing here?
18964Is it worth it?
18964Is it? 18964 Is love a little thing or a big thing?"
18964Is n''t it fun?
18964Is not George a guest and has he not the right to put his heel upon an evil serpent? 18964 Is that my answer, Ygerne?"
18964Just pleasure of course? 18964 Laugh at me, why do n''t you?"
18964Lemarc and Sefton?
18964May I drink your health?
18964May I see Miss Bellaire?
18964Mees Bellaire? 18964 Mexican gent, huh?"
18964Mr. Drennen,said the lieutenant bruskly coming straight to the business in hand after his way;"you come from MacLeod''s?"
18964My boy,said Sothern very gently,"you are sure that you have made no mistake?
18964My share, señorita?
18964On the seventh day, in the morning early, will you meet me here, Ygerne?
18964Or are we mad now?
18964Or stupidity, which?
18964Perhaps,she ran on, her head a little to one side as she studied him frankly,"you did n''t realise just how interesting a type you are?
18964Queer, is n''t it?
18964Quite sure of that?
18964Shall I put it in the safe for you?
18964Shall I send some one to you?
18964Shall a man say all of the foolish things which flash into his brain?
18964She''s too holy for a woman like me to talk about, is she? 18964 So that''s it?
18964So you do''what you damned please''? 18964 So you''re David Drennen, are you?
18964So, if you do n''t want to know what drove me from New Orleans you do want to know what brought me here? 18964 Stand where you are, do you hear?
18964Surely you know the type of men these two are? 18964 Tempting me further?"
18964That''s not all of the evidence you''ve got that John Harper Drennen is alive, is it?
18964The absconding John Harper Drennen made such a request of you?
18964The rest, m''sieu?
18964Then why do you come to me this way, now?
18964Then, ca n''t you see, I''m the man you want to deal with?
18964Then,said Drennen,"if you are not to be turned aside can I help?
18964They''re both in love with you, no doubt?
18964This Drennen is your son and you love him much?
18964Those are the people you want?
18964Told him what?
18964Was that your bona fide proposition, Mr. Drennen? 18964 Was there a time when you were as innocent as you look, Ygerne?"
18964We are in the presence of gentry, then?
18964Well, Mr. Drennen,he said quietly, going about the table and to his chair,"how does it feel to be worth a cool hundred thousand?"
18964Well?
18964Well?
18964Well?
18964Well?
18964Well?
18964Were they in MacLeod''s when you left?
18964Were you the lovely cashier in an ice cream store? 18964 What are you lookin''for Drennen for?"
18964What do I care?
18964What do you mean?
18964What do you mean?
18964What does it want you for?
18964What for?
18964What have you done? 18964 What horses can climb these cliffs?"
18964What in hell''s name have you done?
18964What is it, Ernestine? 18964 What is it?"
18964What is it?
18964What is it?
18964What matter?
18964What sort of cash bonus?
18964What''s eatin''you, Dave, anyway?
18964What''s wrong?
18964What''s your proposition?
18964What, am I no man but a little baby that a woman must fight my fight? 18964 Where are you taking him?"
18964Where is Miss Bellaire?
18964Where is this mine of yours?
18964Where? 18964 Where?
18964Which way are you headed now?
18964Who is it?
18964Who shot?
18964Who was with her?
18964Whose?
18964Why are the interesting men always rude?
18964Why are you asking me a question like this? 18964 Why did n''t you say that in the first place?
18964Why do n''t you go?
18964Why do n''t you say,''Here''s lookin''at you,''and be done with it?
18964Why do you ask?
18964Why do you come to me that way?
18964Why do you tell me this, Max?
18964Why is a man always blind to what another woman can see so plainly? 18964 Why not?"
18964Why not?
18964Why not?
18964Why, man, are you crazy?
18964Why?
18964Will I love you to- morrow? 18964 Will you come outside with me?"
18964Will you dance with me, señorita?
18964Will you give me my change?
18964Will you open the door, señor?
18964Will you tell her that it is important?
18964Yes, Dad?
18964Yes, they are,she told him with deep gravity of tone, just as though he had done the logical thing, been communicative and said,"Are they?"
18964Yes?
18964Ygerne,cried Drennen harshly,"why do you travel with men like that Sefton and Lemarc?"
18964You are not afraid of me, are you?
18964You are on a hunting trip, I take it?
18964You are thinking that I am rather forward than maidenly?
18964You are very sure?
18964You die, señor?
18964You do n''t burn daylight, do you?
18964You have filed your title, of course?
18964You have not forgot, eh?
18964You know two men named Sefton and Lemarc? 18964 You love your son?"
18964You mean,she cried angrily,"that you will try to rob me?"
18964You said that I could help?
18964You think that they have gone that way?
18964You want me to look it over with you, Sothern?
18964You will tell Max?
18964You wish that I would go away?
18964You''ll take him off to yourself, will you? 18964 You''re not still holding out for that ridiculous proposition you made me the other day, are you?"
18964You''ve heard of him, no doubt? 18964 You''ve met him, I dare say?"
18964Your wound is healing nicely?
18964_ Qui sait_?
18964Am I a fool?
18964Am I insulting?
18964Am I talking like a madman again?
18964An option?"
18964And Captain Sefton?"
18964And Kootanie''s?
18964And a girl named Bellaire?"
18964And a ten per cent royalty?"
18964And did you abscond with a dollar and ninety cents?"
18964And if you will pardon us a second?"
18964And now?
18964And that he should head them back along the trail?
18964And then,"Is n''t it a little strange that after all these years interest in John Harper Drennen should awake?"
18964And why?"
18964And, kind sir,_ why_ is it?"
18964Are the fires of hell venomous tongues that bite deep to punish with their torture when it is too late?
18964Are you a good woman or a bad?
18964Are you generous or mean?
18964Are you loyal and stanch and true-- or treacherous and contemptible?
18964Are you on?"
18964Are you sure now that I am not what you named me?"
18964Before I know where the claim is or see the dirt out of it?"
18964But is it the truth?"
18964But was n''t he reported to have died a long time ago?"
18964But who has dreamed to find gold in the Nez Cassé?
18964Ca n''t you see that?
18964David?"
18964Deal''em up, why do n''t you?"
18964Did a man who has followed the beck of hope of gold ever see a rainbow without wondering what treasure lay at the far end of the radiant promise?
18964Did strength, any more than anything else in the world, come to a man who lay on his back and waited for it?
18964Did you tie up with him?"
18964Do n''t the winters freeze and kill him?
18964Do n''t you know what she is?"
18964Do you fancy that you can anger Marc and Captain Sefton this way?"
18964Do you hear me, Dave, boy?
18964Do you know how I love you now?"
18964Do you know how I worshipped you when I was a boy?
18964Do you know that I am the one who is going to deal out the suffering?
18964Do you know what you have done, Ygerne, with the infernal witchery of you?
18964Do you think a woman is made like a man?
18964Does he love you or does he hate you?"
18964Does n''t water drown him, fire burn him?
18964Drennen?"
18964Drennen?"
18964Drennen?"
18964Drennen?"
18964Drennen?"
18964Drennen?"
18964Else why should she be here at all, and with men like Lemarc and Sefton?
18964For why?"
18964He pocketed his fee, bestowed upon Sothern a gratuitous wink with the words,"I guess it''s a good investment for you, eh?
18964How did he accept the wonder tale of the virgin purity of your red lips, Ygerne?"
18964How little time then must pass to wipe out the memory of the passing of a David Drennen from the busy thoroughfares into the secluded trails?
18964I give you something filled with sweetness to carry in your heart?
18964I have not been good to you, have I?
18964If she did n''t love him, then why did she look at him like that?
18964In the day the whole Settlement would follow,_ non_?
18964Is that it?
18964Is that reason enough?"
18964Is that why you are here to- night?"
18964Is the world so damned small that you''ve got to come and preen yourself under my eyes?"
18964Know her?"
18964Knowing you as I do, is it likely that I should have come to love you?"
18964Lemarc?
18964Lord,"and he laughed softly,"it would be some white feather in my cap if I could bring the old fox in, would n''t it, Mr. Sothern?
18964Max, my boy, you will forgive me?
18964May I have your stenographer for a few moments, sir?"
18964Maybe you''ve heard of me?"
18964Not a common name, is it?
18964Not a pretty trick to play, but was now the time for nicety?
18964Now you request me to get out of Canada?
18964Now, go away, will you?
18964OR JUST PLAIN MAN?
18964OR JUST PLAIN MAN?
18964Or do I have to crawl away from here to get away from you?
18964Or do you love me?"
18964Or just like a fool?
18964Or neither, Ygerne?"
18964Or out of America?
18964Or the western hemisphere, which is it?
18964Or were you merely sparring for time and putting out a bluff?"
18964Over and over the questions pricked his brain:"What was she doing out here alone at this time of night?
18964Shall I drink the toast, Ygerne?"
18964Shall I voice my second idiotic thought?"
18964Suppose that he should be contented with the ten thousand dollar bird in his hand and never mind the hypothetical Bellaire treasure bird in the bush?"
18964Suppose that he turned Max''s horse loose?
18964That I can kill you, that I will kill you if you dare insult me further?"
18964That you do n''t care for trouble to- night?
18964The girl is no better than her companions?"
18964The world had gone stale in his mouth; a black depression beat at him with its stiffling[ Transcriber''s note: stifling?]
18964Then she said abruptly:"Have you told any one yet of your discovery?"
18964Then, with a grim tightening of the lips,"And why not?"
18964Together with the rest of the universe?"
18964True, the thought had flickered through his brain:"And suppose that Lemarc should take the cash and let the credit go?
18964Unless he had a quarrel with some man in the Frenchman''s house, what had brought him?
18964Was that not the reason why such people came here?
18964Well, what was the difference?
18964Well, why not?
18964Were Sefton and Lemarc in there, too?
18964Were we both bluffing?
18964What are you staying here for?
18964What do you care for me?"
18964What had happened to her?"
18964What have the three of you in common?"
18964What in all the world of worlds did she want of him?
18964What is the matter, Ernestine?"
18964What then,_ amigos_?
18964What was he sitting here like a fool for?
18964When a passer- by asked,"How''s he gettin''along?"
18964When he said, over and over,"And you do love me, Ygerne?"
18964When?"
18964When?"
18964Where are the others?"
18964Where do you fit in, Ygerne Bellaire?"
18964Where is Sefton?"
18964Where you can do as you damned please with him?
18964Which?"
18964Who knows?
18964Who went with her?"
18964Who will drink with me?"
18964Who''s getting impertinent now?"
18964Why Garcia?
18964Why do I hate you, your eyes, your mouth, your body and your brain?
18964Why do n''t you go on?
18964Why had he not kept that forty thousand dollars?
18964Why had the horses been left where they would be found so readily?
18964Why must he seek to do my work for me?"
18964Why must you think one thing and say another?"
18964Why not to the Canadian?"
18964Why that careless beacon smoke where no man could fail to see it?
18964Why?"
18964Will you cut loose from them, dear?"
18964Will you tell me about it, Ygerne?"
18964Would you be a little sorry for me if I died?"
18964You are a comic-- no?"
18964You are getting along all right?"
18964You are going to let no one in with you?"
18964You have a mine you want us to look at?"
18964You''ve struck gold, they tell me?
18964_ Hein_?
18964_ Hein_?"
18964and the law wants you back there in the States?"
18964because I made you love me?"
18964if I were a fool like other men?"
18964or are they flames which cleanse and chasten while there is yet time?
18964or you?"
18964where was it?
18964wo n''t you, David?"
18964you do n''t think I''m a sentimental fool, do you?"
15625A lake like that on top of a mountain-- in weather like this, does n''t it sound like heaven?
15625Ai n''t heard anything more?
15625Am I kicking?
15625An''do I need a pilgrim to remind me av that? 15625 An''fer what, then, Mike, should the gurrl be lookin''out?
15625An''if they ai n''t after gold, what they diggin''fer, then?
15625An''what have ye dug outy yer buke now?
15625An''who iver said they was after gold, now?
15625Anybody starting out to hunt that girl?
15625Aw, what''s the use of going away up there? 15625 Aw, what''s the use?
15625Better go back and help-- what? 15625 But what I want to know is, what have you done?"
15625But you do n''t, ay? 15625 But-- would you have to stay five years, Kate?"
15625Ca n''t do much till the storm lets up, can they?
15625Ca n''t you see it''s coming this way?
15625Ca n''t you signal about ten o''clock tomorrow, if you''re coming out? 15625 Ca n''t you-- can''t you even go down to the lake and fish, when you want to?"
15625Can you arrange for a conveyance of some kind? 15625 Did n''t bring anything to read, I suppose?"
15625Did you go away up there just because you--_wanted_ to see me? 15625 Did you say that lookout man has a claim up here somewhere?"
15625Do we not go into the mountains?
15625Do you stay up here all the time and scowl, all by yourself?
15625Do you want the job?
15625Does it cost extra?
15625Does that answer what''s in your mind?
15625Done?
15625Feller that had the lookout last summer, guess he hangs out somewhere around here, do n''t he? 15625 Fer if not that, will ye tell me why else they want''er opened up?
15625Go back_ nothing!_ And let''em get our number? 15625 Go on down the creek, why do n''t you?"
15625Has a young lady been lost up there?
15625Has any one heard any more about it?
15625Have you had any breakfast?
15625Hey, you darn mutts, whatcha shootin''for? 15625 Hey-- you want to go in the ditch?"
15625How did it happen? 15625 How do I know that dad ever gave her a square deal, either?
15625How do you mean-- beating it?
15625How is the fire? 15625 How''s the fire?"
15625I never saw anything like it before-- did you? 15625 I ought to know, ought n''t I?
15625If they ai n''t diggin''fer gold, then what are they_ diggin''_ fer?
15625Is n''t it wonderful?
15625Is there no other coach on this train?
15625Is_ that_ all I have to do?
15625It just burns as if it had a grudge against the country, does n''t it? 15625 It''s awful, but I simply could n''t live without-- without--""Me?
15625It''s something new, is n''t it? 15625 Jack who?
15625Kin any man be trusted?
15625Know that first turn, up ahead here? 15625 Now you_ did_ fix things, did n''t you?
15625Now, what does the old girl want--?
15625Now,_ what_ do you know about_ that_? 15625 Oh, did you get it put out?
15625Oh, with all those blankets?
15625Pretty cold, ai n''t it? 15625 Quit before I''m invited to leave?
15625Remember that nice air- hole in the top where the wind whistled in and made a kind of tune? 15625 S- o- m- e little bandits!--what?"
15625See that rocky peak over there? 15625 Shall I fix you something to eat, Douglas?"
15625Shall I poach you some eggs? 15625 Some little heliographing-- what?
15625Stop at the Forest Service, will you? 15625 Think I could n''t?"
15625Well, but I was afraid--"Afraid of Kate? 15625 Well, but why do n''t you keep the fire going?
15625Well, can you get word to my son that I am here and should like to see him?
15625Well, do we go back?
15625Well, what do you know about that?
15625Well, what do you know about that?
15625Well, what do you know about_ that_?
15625Well, what if? 15625 Well, what of it?"
15625Well, what--?
15625Well, why do n''t you run and tell?
15625Were you down there in it? 15625 What darn fool was it that shot first?
15625What did mother do when they--?
15625What did that perfessor wade clear down to Marston through the storm for, and report her lost, if she ai n''t lost?
15625What do you want?--a scalp, shampoo, or just dressed, or a curl, or what?
15625What feller''s that, Hank?
15625What has salt--?
15625What if a fire broke out while I was gone?
15625What were you thinking about when you kept staring up here? 15625 What yuh going up to help hunt her for, then?"
15625What yuh mean, done?
15625What''s going on in the world, anyway? 15625 What''s he hidin''out for, Hank?
15625What''s the matter with phoning that you''re all right? 15625 What''s the matter with pine knots?"
15625What''s the matter, Jack? 15625 What''s the matter, Kate?
15625What''s the use of your hiding out in a cave, for goodness''sake, if you''re going to let people see you whenever they come up this way? 15625 When was it they brought word?"
15625Where was I?
15625Who says I was the ringleader? 15625 Who''s Fred?"
15625Why do n''t you cut the legs off this table? 15625 Why do you think so?
15625Why should n''t it concern me to spoil a pair of nine dollar shoes? 15625 Why?
15625Will I take care av me tools, an''it buildin''a sthorm?
15625Will you please shut up?
15625Would n''t you kind of like to be canned-- under the circumstances?
15625You did? 15625 You do, hey?"
15625You heard what I said about piffling human beings?
15625You think, then, that the young woman went to meet Jack?
15625You told, did you?
15625You''re sure I wo n''t do? 15625 You-- you are n''t really uncomfortable, are you, Jack?"
15625After all, what would it matter?
15625An''while ye''re talkin''''bout wood, have yer got yer wood fer the winter?
15625And I think a log cabin is the dearest way to live-- don''t you?
15625And I''ll bring you reading-- oh, have you put down candles, Jack?
15625And do n''t you think, Marion, it would be much better for you if you did n''t wait for the Martha to let you go but gave them notice instead?"
15625And do you think for a minute, you big silly kid, that I''ll let you go alone?
15625And even-- why do n''t you come on out anyway, till we get ready to start?
15625And for a change, you can watch the lake, or just gaze at the scenery; and say!--does the star spangled banner still wave?"
15625And if they are not there?"
15625And not get half the fish?
15625And where is Fred?
15625And where would she be most likely to meet him?
15625And who was the other spy that stayed up on Taylor Rock?
15625And why did n''t the men go tramping around like that, since they were all in together?
15625And, Jack,--you are n''t really uncomfortable up there, are you?
15625And-- mother, do n''t you think maybe all this trouble has been kind of a good thing after all?
15625And-- oh, will you please tell her that I took the bread out of the oven before I left, and that it''s under the box the cream came in?
15625Any news from-- down South?"
15625Anything they want me to haul up?
15625Are there lots of bears up there, Jack?"
15625Are they getting it put out?"
15625Are you beating it, now?"
15625As for his mother-- would his mother care so very much?
15625Asleep?"
15625Because there''s Kate-- can''t we go and see?"
15625Brown?"
15625But was it Jack whom the man called Hank referred to?
15625But you will, wo n''t you?
15625By George, did she do that?"
15625Calling her cute-- why cute, in particular?
15625Can you scare up something right away for us to eat?
15625Come back here in an hour, can you?
15625Corey?"
15625Could n''t you, ay?"
15625Damn it, what yuh killin''time for?
15625Did Hank, by any chance, refer to Marion''s little strategies in getting things for Jack?
15625Did she feel as he felt about the woods and mountains?
15625Did she sit by the creek again until after dark, refusing to stir?"
15625Did the bear come at you?"
15625Did you do that, mother?
15625Did you find out about-- anybody knowing you''re here?
15625Did you go up where you could obtain a view of the fire, Kate?"
15625Did you hurt yourself?
15625Did you skin him?"
15625Do n''t you care--?"
15625Do n''t you-- want me to-- marry you?
15625Do you know?"
15625Do you see what time it is?
15625Do you think that I ought to touch up my hair, Marion?
15625Do you want to go up and meet him?
15625Ever study tracks?"
15625Fellow on Claremont-- that''s it away over there; see that white speck?
15625Floatin''round with your arms full of sunshine-- oh, you thought you was puttin''something over on the rest of us-- what?"
15625For why do n''t ye get down wit yer pick, man, and_ see_ what''s in the ground?
15625Had he given her any reason for caring, beyond the natural maternal instinct which is in all motherhood?
15625Had she found any means of getting back to her camp, or of sending any word?
15625Has it burned any of our timber?
15625Have I got to simply propose to you?
15625Have we any vaseline?"
15625He cleared his throat again, sighed and inquired mildly:"Are you asleep, Marion?"
15625He gets awfully grouchy over the least little thing--""Marion, how old is he?"
15625He had a mental picture of her hurrying to tell Fred:"What do you know about it?
15625He says he will not endure another cut-- he simply can not, and--""And support an elocutionist?"
15625Honest?"
15625Honestly, do n''t they let you leave here at all?"
15625Hot- headed, selfish children, what did they know about the deeper problems of life?
15625How about a henna rinse, Marion?
15625How about a scalp?
15625How about it?"
15625How am I going to get home?
15625How could she make any claim to human sympathy for a mother''s sorrow if she withheld the message that would bring relief?
15625How do you like mine today?"
15625How long will it be before chuck''s ready, Kate?"
15625How soon do you think it will be?
15625How soon you going back, Hank?
15625I could do what you would do, could n''t I?
15625I do n''t see how anybody could mind him-- do you?...
15625I do n''t suppose she could get back, after the fire got started,"she admitted grudgingly,"but she might have done_ something_, do n''t you think?
15625I wish to goodness I''d thought to put on my blue velvet suit-- but then, how was I going to know that I''d need it to get married in?"
15625I''d like being on a mountain, I believe-- did you ever see such hot nights as we''re having?"
15625I''m gittin''my wages fer the diggin'', ai n''t I?
15625I-- I suppose you can be trusted, Murphy?"
15625If Jack Corey''s such a villain, why do n''t you do something about it?
15625Is he nice to talk to?...
15625Is it up on a mountain, or up in the State, that you said the place was?
15625Is it your ankle?"
15625Is it your ankle?"
15625Is n''t it_ keen_, to have a volcano spouting off right in your front view?
15625Is the fire out?
15625It isn''t--""Do I draw any salary as chaperone, Kate?"
15625It''s getting worse, do n''t you think?
15625It''s halfway up the mountain-- do you happen to know the young lady that was lost up there, yesterday?"
15625It''s my business to watch fires and see how they''re acting, is n''t it?"
15625Let''er out, why do n''t yuh?
15625Listen, could you get off early today?
15625Made to order?
15625Make a lot of coffee, will you?
15625Make''em think they''ve got a blowout-- get the idea?"
15625Marion, do you-- care?"
15625Mercy, ai n''t it awful about that poor girl being lost?
15625Mum''s the word-- get that?"
15625Murphy, you can take care of the tools and cover up the hole, will you?"
15625Must a fellow padlock that door every time he went out, to keep folks from going where they had no business to be?
15625No, sir--""How''s the trains, Barney?"
15625Of what use was this preparation, unless he had some real money to use with it?
15625Oh, do you suppose it has burned down as far as the cabin?
15625One, two-- one, two, three-- could anything in the world be more maddening?
15625Or had the police really gotten upon the trail of Jack?
15625People kind of keep your mind tied down to little things that part of you hates, do n''t you know?
15625Say, Jackie, if this old car could talk, would n''t momma get an ear- full on Monday, hey?
15625Shall I make you some lemonade, Douglas?"
15625She can help you get it ready, ca n''t she?"
15625She kept saying:"Oh, papa, do n''t you wish you could get a snap of that?"
15625She waited, holding the receiver to her ear until Central, in that supercilious voice we all dislike so much, asked crisply,"Are you waiting?"
15625She was staying at Toll- Gate--""Is Toll- Gate a town?"
15625Should she warn the professor to say nothing to Fred?
15625Sounds to me like a good place to save money-- what?"
15625Stayed out in the hills-- and that ai n''t natural for a young city feller, is it?
15625That''s-- do you know anything at all about the Forest Service, young fellow?"
15625The girl, Marion-- had Jack loved her?
15625The lookout on Claremont, he''ll draw a bead on it too, and phone in_ his_ number-- see?
15625The what?...
15625Then I wo n''t have to climb clear up here if something happens that you ought to know about-- don''t you see?
15625Then she added carelessly--"What would have happened, if you had n''t answered that man at all?"
15625Then some day I''ll drop off and try my luck--""Do n''t run to Lake Almanor, does it?
15625There''s an excited young man here who keeps telling me this is_ not_ a public telephone booth-- do you mean him, I wonder?...
15625Think it''ll storm today, Murphy?"
15625Think you could get by with it?
15625Use plenty of tonic, wo n''t you, Marion?
15625Want that guy to call a cop and pinch the outfit?
15625Was it possible that the Humphrey woman had been talking to outsiders?
15625Was the girl playing double?
15625We''d rather wait a few minutes longer and get a square meal, would n''t we, boys?
15625Well, he asked himself, what kind of a fool would he make of himself next?
15625Well, of course, a person does n''t look for politeness away up... Ha- ha-- why, does the altitude make a difference?
15625Were you boys honest- to- goodness bandits, or what?"
15625What are you trying to build up anyway?
15625What are_ you_, you poor piece of cheese, to talk about a woman?"
15625What business had she inside, anyway?
15625What do you do when a fire breaks out?"
15625What do you use him for?
15625What had she done, that Hank should consider her so cute?
15625What have you done that they should put you up here and make you stay up here?
15625What if Hank Brown found out about Jack and set the sheriff on his trail?
15625What if they had seen you?"
15625What kind of a mother would she have been, he wondered, if he had petted her a little now and then?
15625What kinda folks do you think we are, around here?
15625What made you apologize for keeping a telephone call waiting while you went out and saved a perfectly good life?
15625What possible use could Fred be, more than any other man?
15625What was Marion doing with Hank Brown, the one man in all this country who held a definite grudge against Jack?
15625What would they think if they could look upon him now?
15625What''ll yuh give me if I tell yuh what I do think?"
15625What''s your name?"
15625What?"
15625What?"
15625What?...
15625What?...
15625What?...
15625What_ can_ they think, not knowing Marion at all, and just judging by appearances?"
15625Whatever had started the fellow to suspecting such things?
15625When does that train go down, Jack?
15625Where were the fire- fighters, that they did not check the mad race of flames before they crossed that canyon?
15625Where''s Marion?
15625Where''s everybody?"
15625Where''s them blankets?
15625Which way would be best to go around it, do you think?"
15625Which would you have, Marion?"
15625Which, he wondered, was the real Marion Rose?
15625Who is that man, Marion?
15625Who would care?
15625Who would ever identify him there as Jack Corey?
15625Why could n''t he enter the girl''s foolery?
15625Why could n''t he have been a girl?
15625Why could n''t he have kept his troubles to himself?
15625Why did n''t somebody do something?
15625Why did they not find Jack and the girl?
15625Why dig deeper into the grief that must be mastered somehow, if she would go on living?
15625Why do n''t you call up the office and have them send the sheriff hot- footing it up here?
15625Why not?
15625Why should she be following the girl, when the girl went tramping around in the woods?
15625Without an invitation?
15625Would it be worth while?"
15625Would n''t that be just dandy on the screen?"
15625You any relation to the girl that''s lost?"
15625You ca n''t stop me from riding on the train, can you?
15625You_ do_?
15625Yuh travelin''or just goin''somewheres?"
15625Yuh trying to throw us down?
15625a signal fire, or something?...
15625you wanta break a leg?"
16777Am I nothing but a naked savage, Rhoda?
16777Am I?
16777And Katherine and Jack?
16777And what are you going to do with me?
16777And what was Molly doing?
16777And what will you do?
16777And will DeWitt want what you offer him?
16777And you?
16777And you?
16777Apache?
16777Are the Mohaves so pig- headed then?
16777Are the others near here?
16777Are there any other people hunting for me?
16777Are you a doctor?
16777Are you a good shot, DeWitt?
16777Are you all right?
16777Are you glad you did this for me, Rhoda?
16777Are you going to shoot him now, John?
16777Are you really civilized, Kut- le?
16777Are you sure we are n''t wasting time, Billy?
16777Are you tired, Rhoda?
16777Are you too tired to explore the ruins?
16777Because Kut- le is Injun, you no marry him?
16777But I do n''t love you, so what''s the use of considering the rest? 16777 But ca n''t you see what a futile game you are playing?
16777But could n''t you,insisted the tragically deep voice,"could n''t you ever love me?"
16777But do you fear me, too? 16777 But,"eagerly,"if you did love me, would my being an Indian make any difference?
16777Ca n''t you learn that I am not a squaw? 16777 Ca n''t you realize that the good Kut- le has done me has been far greater than his affront to me?
16777Ca n''t you see how silly you are? 16777 Ca n''t you see that it''s no use?
16777Ca n''t you see what you have done? 16777 Can the salt- boy stay on with the sheep while you come with us?"
16777Cesca, am I such a heap fool?
16777Come on where?
16777Did he speak to you? 16777 Did you give your horse enough rope, John?
16777Do n''t I?
16777Do n''t you realize that the whole county will be after you by morning?
16777Do n''t you still think we''d better start tomorrow?
16777Do you feel able to take to the saddle at once?
16777Do you feel equal to climbing this trail with me, to find where we are, or had you rather stay here?
16777Do you have to ask that?
16777Do you hear anything? 16777 Do you know anything against him?"
16777Do you like to work, Molly?
16777Do you love me, Rhoda?
16777Do you love me-- and better than you do DeWitt?
16777Do you really mean that?
16777Do you see that little trail going down?
16777Do you think it''s so bad, Molly?
16777Do you think that too, Jack and Kut- le?
16777Do you think that''s_ all_? 16777 Do you think they could climb out of the fissure?"
16777Do you think we can stay quiet in one place today?
16777Do you think you ought to have attempted this trip, Rhoda?
16777Do you?
16777Even if I went back for a few months each year, would that make you unhappy?
16777Feeling better?
16777Has he laid finger on you, Rhoda?
16777Have I fought my fight without coming to know the risk? 16777 Have I found new life in the desert only to lose it?"
16777Have you found living off the desert hard? 16777 Have you had enough, Rhoda?"
16777How can I marry a savage?
16777How did Miss Tuttle seem?
16777How did it lie?
16777How did we land here?
16777How did you come to leave the camp, John?
16777How do you feel now?
16777How is John?
16777How long since you have eaten, John?
16777How many whites were killed?
16777How much did you sleep last night?
16777How will these do for our respective sleeping- rooms?
16777How you run? 16777 I wonder what he wakened me for?"
16777I wonder what his plan is?
16777If ever we get a chance at you, we''ll hang you sky high, see? 16777 If you married DeWitt,"Kut- le went on,"could you forget me?
16777If you wo n''t help me to do right, who will? 16777 Is a scorpion sting dangerous?"
16777Is it because I am an Indian?
16777Is n''t it queer,she said,"that you elude Jack and John DeWitt so easily?"
16777Is that another pueblo?
16777Is that true, Billy?
16777Is there any hunting at all in this open desert country?
16777It''s hard for me, is n''t it?
16777John, what will you do if Kut- le comes on us here?
16777John,she said at last,"why wo n''t you look the truth in the face?
16777Just what do you mean by that?
16777Kut- le,said Rhoda suddenly,"when are you going to end the farce and let me go?"
16777Kut- le,she said,"perhaps you will tell me what you mean by this outrage?"
16777Leave you until I get you to safety? 16777 Lie in the sun?
16777Me?
16777Molly, dear kind Molly, wo n''t you help me to get back to my own people? 16777 Molly,"Rhoda took the rough brown hand between both her soft cold palms,"Molly, will you help me to run away?"
16777Mr. Porter,he said courteously,"will you come to my wedding?"
16777My boyhood here? 16777 Our what?"
16777Rhoda, are you going to eat your heart out for your own kind if you marry me? 16777 Rhoda, did they torture you much?"
16777Rhoda,she asked,"do you feel like dressing for dinner?
16777Rhoda,softly,"do you remember the moment before Porter interrupted us?
16777Say, Miss Rhoda, you ai n''t sticking up for this ornery Piute, are you?
16777Say, friend,said Billy,"do you know Newman''s ranch?"
16777See that weight fastened to it? 16777 Seen anything of an Injun running away with a white girl?"
16777Shall I be with white people?
16777Shall I pick you up and carry you over here?
16777She? 16777 Sit with hands folded on stomach, so?
16777So that''s my reputation now, is it?
16777Still, they were well roasted, now were n''t they?
16777Supposing,he said aloud,"that you are wrong, Porter?
16777Thanks to whom?
16777Then I ca n''t tempt you to stop and have some roast mice with me?
16777They had found a scarf with a stone tied in it--"What''s that?
16777They have no trace?
16777Use?
16777Was I delirious? 16777 Was Miss Tuttle bad off?"
16777Was Porter hurt?
16777Well, then, Miss Rhoda, will you marry me?
16777Well, what are your conclusions?
16777Well,answered Rhoda idly,"and wo n''t you?"
16777Well,he said,"Kut- le, will you and Rhoda come down to the monastery with us and be married?"
16777Were you hurt much in the fight?
16777Were you thinking of him?
16777What are you going to do now?
16777What are you going to do with me?
16777What are you going to do?
16777What are your plans?
16777What can we do for you, Jim?
16777What did they say? 16777 What difference does that make, between you and me?"
16777What do you call big thoughts?
16777What do you mean by coming before me in-- in--"You mean when I''m dressed as a chief on the warpath? 16777 What do you mean?"
16777What do you suppose Jack and Katherine think of you? 16777 What do you think, Kut- le?"
16777What does this mean?
16777What else to do?
16777What harm can it do for this man to give me word of my friends?
16777What have you found?
16777What is John doing?
16777What makes you think he''s interested in Miss Tuttle?
16777What miracle has come to you?
16777What trouble? 16777 What were those shots?"
16777What would you call it?
16777What would you like for breakfast?
16777What''s that?
16777What''s the matter?
16777Where am I? 16777 Where am I?"
16777Where are Kut- le and the others?
16777Where are the Indians?
16777Where are the dogs? 16777 Where are the horses?"
16777Where are the others?
16777Where are we now?
16777Where are you going?
16777Where did you come from, Billy?
16777Where in the world did you come from? 16777 Where is John DeWitt?"
16777Where is Kut- le?
16777Where is your old hatred of the desert?
16777Where? 16777 Who are you?"
16777Who is sick, friend?
16777Who were they?
16777Who? 16777 Whom did I say good- by to?
16777Whom do you call an Apache devil?
16777Why ca n''t you tell her yourself? 16777 Why did you say Kut- le?"
16777Why do you plead for him?
16777Why not, dear one?
16777Why not?
16777Why should n''t they? 16777 Why should you speak as a queen to a poor devil of a subject?
16777Why should you want to kill Kut- le?
16777Why? 16777 Why?"
16777Why?
16777Will they pick up our trail? 16777 Will you call Marie?
16777Will you let me eat with you?
16777Would they shoot you, Kut- le, even if I told them not to?
16777Would you mind hurrying?
16777Would you prefer that I show the lurking savage beneath this false shell of good manners?
16777Yes, and then what?
16777Yes?
16777You are quite willing?
16777You awake? 16777 You feel good now?"
16777You get the point of the conversation, I hope?
16777You have some touchstone, I suppose,replied Rhoda contemptuously,"by which you are made competent to sit in judgment on mankind?"
16777You meant it all, Rhoda? 16777 You see that queer bunch of cholla yonder?
16777You think it was a woman?
16777You think the white squaw can cross the desert soon by herself?
16777You wake now?
16777You will permit me to eat something perhaps?
16777You''re Newman''s engineer, are n''t you?
16777You_ sabe_ Apache named Kut- le?
16777Your bones heap sick? 16777 _ Quién sabe_?"
16777_ Quién sabe_?
16777After all, what counted with the Great Spirit?
16777And if they ai n''t, which way are you going?"
16777And what are you liable to want?"
16777And you were alone, leading me across that Hades out there?
16777Anything else?"
16777Are the poor things badly lost?"
16777Are you ready, Kut- le?"
16777Are you really sorry to be with me again?
16777Are you sure it is the right one?"
16777At another time Rhoda would have joined in his amusement, but now she asked soberly:"Which horse is for me?"
16777At last Rhoda said coolly:"Will you get fresh water while I bank in the fire?"
16777By what particular mark of superiority are you exempt from work?
16777Ca n''t I negotiate for something to eat right now?
16777Ca n''t you put yourself in my place and realize what a horrible position I am in?"
16777Ca n''t you realize that forever and ever you are mine, no matter how you fight or what you do?"
16777Ca n''t you see how I love you?
16777Ca n''t you see that my stealing was the only thing that I could do, loving you so?
16777Can you give us a hunch?"
16777DeWitt?"
16777Dear, kind Molly, wo n''t you help me?"
16777Did DeWitt mean as much to you as ever?
16777Did it make any difference?
16777Did you see real Indian fights?
16777Did you spend your boyhood in New Mexico?
16777Did you--?"
16777Do n''t I know what atavism means, and race alienation, and hunger for my own?
16777Do n''t you know that I shall grow to loathe you?"
16777Do n''t you know that the whites will hunt you out like you was a rat?
16777Do n''t you realize that the folks that believed in you and was fond of you has had to give up their faith in you?
16777Do n''t you see how foolish Kut- le is?
16777Do n''t you understand that you''ve lost all your white friends?
16777Do you believe I do not suffer?"
16777Do you fear me?"
16777Do you know what I''ve thought of lots of times lately?
16777Do you mean that you want to stay with that Injun?"
16777Do you never have any sense of shame that you are forever taking and never giving?"
16777Do you realize what you are saying?"
16777Do you see how well I am, how strong?
16777Do you suppose it was her?"
16777Eh?"
16777Forget my arms about you?"
16777Forget our days and nights?
16777Forget the desert?
16777Has Mr. Newman got back?
16777Have I died?
16777Have you been through the Pueblo country yet?"
16777Have you found her trail?"
16777Heap hungry?"
16777How are you feeling now?"
16777How can they dream that you are stolen?"
16777How did you get away from him?"
16777How did you know?"
16777How do you feel?"
16777How do you feel?"
16777How long since you have served any one but yourself?"
16777How much longer must I wait for you, Rhoda?"
16777How?
16777I believe that I can go to the top with any man, do n''t you, Miss Rhoda?"
16777I just nacherally snagged your little game, did n''t I?"
16777I mean as far as food was concerned?"
16777I suppose if I answered it and went back, you would call it retrogression?"
16777Is he a Spaniard?"
16777Is n''t it good?"
16777Is n''t it old?"
16777Is n''t my blood pure?
16777Is n''t the moonlight uncanny on the desert?"
16777It was not only to save my life?"
16777It''s not-- not--""Not conventional?"
16777Jack?"
16777Katherine probably sent some clothing for me, did n''t she?"
16777Kut- le ate on in silence for a time, then he said wistfully:"Do n''t you enjoy this meal with me, just a little?"
16777Kut- le did not reply for a moment, then he began slowly:"You imagine that I am not suffering?
16777Molly rub''em?"
16777Must she renounce this new rapture of living?
16777Must she?
16777Must we keep such a pace, Rhoda girl?
16777No matter what the outcome, can you believe that I or any one that loves me can forgive the outrage to me?"
16777Now you work with your hands you no so sorry in head, huh?"
16777Of what avail was her silence, except to increase her own loneliness?
16777Or had I better carry you?"
16777Rhoda, will you marry me?"
16777She nodded, then said wistfully:"You think I''m no good at all, do n''t you, Molly?"
16777Supposing that she''s-- she''s dying of thirst down there in the desert?
16777Tell me, Miss Rhoda, what''s the use of it all?"
16777That every time you do you alienate me more, if possible?"
16777That it maddens me to be ordered about?
16777Then, after a pause, as if she felt it her duty to make conversation,"Did you like him?"
16777To reach her nest what needle does she follow When darkness wraps the poor wee storm- tossed thing?"
16777Was n''t that smart of her?
16777We will rest till midnight when the moon comes up, eh, Billy?"
16777What are you doing?
16777What are you going to do with me?"
16777What are you planning to do?"
16777What did John DeWitt say?"
16777What did he say?"
16777What did you have to eat and how did you make out crossing to the mesa?
16777What difference does that make?
16777What direction shall we take?"
16777What distant bourne seeks her untiring wing?
16777What do you suppose they are doing to each other?
16777What good are you?
16777What good is that?
16777What good is that?
16777What happened to you?
16777What have you been doing all day?"
16777What''s on the other side of this broken wall?"
16777When or how,_ quién sabe_?"
16777When you are well and strong--""But why do n''t you go back?"
16777When?"
16777Whence came this new trust and understanding, this thrill at his touch?
16777Where are your other clothes?
16777Where did they go?"
16777Where had the old hatred of Kut- le gone?
16777Where have you been?"
16777Where is Kut- le?
16777Where''s Kut- le?"
16777Where?"
16777Who is she?"
16777Whom?
16777Why did you follow me down here?
16777Why go so far dark and strange skies to seek?
16777Why not be as comfortable as possible, under the circumstances?"
16777Why should n''t I?
16777Why should n''t she learn to make seed meal, to catch and cook rabbits, to distinguish edible cactus from inedible?
16777Why should this Indian be let go when he has done what a white would be shot for?"
16777Why, Rhoda dear, is it nothing to you that, when you have n''t a near relative in the world, I would gladly die for you?"
16777Why, ca n''t you see that your helplessness and dependence only deepen your hold on me?
16777Why, do n''t you realize that you ca n''t live in your own country again?
16777Will some of you come with me?"
16777Will you help me to get back to my white friends?"
16777Will you sit here and let me look about?"
16777Will you two ride to the ditch with me tomorrow?
16777With all the race prejudice against you that he had, would n''t you have done as he has?"
16777Wo n''t I be sufficient?
16777Wo n''t you help me?
16777Wo n''t you say good- night to me, Rhoda?"
16777Would n''t you have done the same in my place?
16777Would she never again know the deference, the gentleness, the loving tenderness of her own people?
16777Would you mind getting Alchise to help me up the trail?"
16777You did n''t sleep well last night, did you?"
16777You eat breakfast?"
16777You know that sick fear that gets you when you try to picture eternity to yourself?
16777You tell Molly why?"
16777You think that makes any difference to the Great Spirit?"
16777You wo n''t go and leave me to the Indians again?"
16777You''re all over the dizziness, Miss Tuttle?"
16777_ Sabe_?"
16777ejaculated Porter,"Was he sick or dying?"
16777he asked half a dozen times, then without waiting for an answer,"Did you see her face, Billy?
16589''I reckon I know that,''says I,''but how did you get behind that rock without leavin''no tracks?'' 16589 ''What did you do with your hoss?''
16589???
16589???
16589???
16589Ai n''t any one of you boys had sense enough to bring any grub?
16589Ai n''t no chance of sneaking somebody inside?
16589All right, honey?
16589Amount to anything?
16589And he gets away with it?
16589And if he does a friend of mine will just go to a certain place and get certain papers and give''em to a certain lawyer-- and then where''s old H.H.? 16589 And if he will not come, señor?"
16589And is that your horse in number four? 16589 And now may I inquire to what I owe the honour of this call?
16589And there''s no drug store here? 16589 And what are you up to with them?"
16589And where''d we get it?
16589And yourself; will he kill you, too?
16589And,I went on, deliberately,"who could deny your perfect right to do what you will with your own?
16589Any other relatives?
16589Anybody heard from her since she went to Europe?
16589Are we nearly there?
16589Are you sure of that?
16589Are you the low- lived skunk that''s running the Hydraulic Company?
16589As how?
16589Been in the army, have you?
16589Blackmail, eh?
16589Boys,said Bright in a strained voice,"do you know how much was in that express?
16589Brother, you interest me,said I,"and would you mind informing me further how you tell the dear little cows apart?"
16589Buck Johnson here?
16589But what''s that to you? 16589 By the way,"you inquire of your new retainer,"what''s your name?"
16589Ca n''t we catch him? 16589 Ca n''t we let some air in?"
16589Ca n''t you find no footprints?
16589Can you tell me how to get to Hooper''s ranch?
16589Daughter?
16589Did he get much off you?
16589Did n''t you hear Sol tell you the dose is a spoonful?
16589Did n''t you pass me on the grade five miles back?
16589Did you ever make a will?
16589Did you ever see an easier lot? 16589 Do n''t you realize that you were going altogether too fast for a mountain grade?
16589Do n''t you see? 16589 Do you like music?"
16589Do you mean to tell me that you can sit still and do nothing after seeing all those ducks this afternoon? 16589 Do you object to smoking?"
16589Do you think he is listening to what we say; or has somebody listening?
16589Do you think he''ll stick: or will he get out?
16589Does he buck?
16589Does his daughter ever ride out?
16589For heaven''s sake how many have you got together?
16589For what purpose?
16589Friend of yours?
16589Furthermore,California John went on, impressively, after a moment,"where did that man and that hoss come from in the beginning?
16589Got anything for me?
16589Had enough?
16589Have I got to wait until sunset for you lazy chumps to get a full night''s rest?
16589Have any trouble?
16589Have you agreed on your verdict, gentlemen?
16589Have you any kin?
16589Have you got it? 16589 Have you lost your gun?"
16589His heirs then?
16589How about it?
16589How about that little dispossession matter, deputy? 16589 How about tracks?"
16589How did you get on that roof? 16589 How do you know he shod the horse himself?"
16589How far is the nearest crossing?
16589How far to the nearest ranch?
16589How in the world did you know that? 16589 How is it he''s lasted so long?
16589How many you got of these?
16589How many you got-- how much are they?
16589How often do you have to have this dope-- for the best results; and how much of it at a shot?
16589How should I know?
16589How was he killed?
16589How''s that?
16589How?
16589How?
16589Huh? 16589 I wonder why he done that?"
16589If he gets to the ranch, wo n''t they look for you?
16589Is Mrs. B---- at home?
16589Is Mrs. B---- at home?
16589Is Mrs. B---- at home?
16589Is he in love with Hooper, too?
16589Is n''t the incentive enough? 16589 Is that horse of yours through bucking for the day?"
16589Is there a drug store in town, then?
16589Is this the same outfit?
16589Know Hooper?
16589Know Hooper?
16589Know about Hooper''s boomerang?
16589Look here, John,queried he,"do you know anything about mules?"
16589Me a horseman? 16589 Me?
16589Me? 16589 Me?"
16589Mr. Hooper,said I,"can you keep me over night?"
16589No, I do n''t,said I,"are you another of these Sunbirds with glad news?"
16589Now,said I,"if you do n''t mind, why do you descend on a peaceful community and stir it all up because of the derelictions of an absent coon?
16589Ought n''t we to be moving?
16589Ramon from Hooper''s?
16589Remember how they used to rack along in front of a hoss for miles, keeping just ahead, lettin''out a link when you spurred up? 16589 Roads good?"
16589Same one as last year?
16589Say? 16589 Shore?"
16589Soup?
16589Stranger,said he,"mout you be able to make head er tail of all that air?"
16589Sure they have n''t slipped by you?
16589Surely,I agreed, and added with some surprise out of my other experience,"Is n''t it a little late?"
16589That black bag all the plunder you got?
16589That idea just got through your thick British skull?
16589The Babe?
16589Then I am safe until----?
16589There''s no woman there; not even a Mex,said one, and"Did you see any sign of any woman?"
16589They''ll kill you if they suspect; dare you go back?
16589Think you can make out the trail?
16589This man Starr ever met up with Old Man Hooper or Hooper''s men?
16589Want that safe open?
16589Want to ride?
16589Was that the scared little rabbit that wept all them salt tears over at the depot? 16589 Was there some of that stuff in there all the time I''ve been carrying it around?"
16589Was''babes''the word he used?
16589We?
16589Well, what''s the matter with you fellows down here?
16589Well,said it,"did you kill Beck?"
16589What a matter with you? 16589 What about him?"
16589What ails the small party?
16589What are you doing down here fighting fire, anyway?
16589What are you going to do now?
16589What did his hoss look like?
16589What did you say?
16589What do n''t belong to him?
16589What do you mean?
16589What do you suppose would have happened if I had n''t just been able to pull out?
16589What do you think, Sam?
16589What does he intend to do with us?
16589What does she look like?
16589What else was I to do? 16589 What enemies did he have?"
16589What for?
16589What is it, honey?
16589What is it?
16589What is your proposition?
16589What kind of rock did you find it in?
16589What makes you think so? 16589 What might you call yourself?
16589What sort of a lookin''fellow was he?
16589What sort of proof?
16589What time should we get in?
16589What was it?
16589What you driving at?
16589What you got here?
16589What''s it to yuh, anyway?
16589What''s it to yuh?
16589What''s it_ to_ you?
16589What''s that?
16589What''s the matter with that chestnut in the shed?
16589What''s the plan?
16589What''s your idea? 16589 What?"
16589When did she go?
16589Where are you from?
16589Where did you get that bag?
16589Where did you get this, son?
16589Where do I come in?
16589Where do you want me to ship your remains?
16589Where is he?
16589Where''s Jim?
16589Where''s Tim?
16589Where''s your horse?
16589Where?
16589Whereabouts lays this Promised Land?
16589Who is to be on guard?
16589Who was he?
16589Who you riding for?
16589Who?
16589Why are you so sure?
16589Why did n''t he destroy them?
16589Why do n''t some of you brave young warriors just naturally pot him?
16589Why do n''t you do it?
16589Why do n''t you- all put up a big mill, throw in a crew of men, and get busy?
16589Why do n''t_ you_ go?
16589Why has he tied you in that chair, then, along with the condemned?
16589Why has n''t he done so? 16589 Why should he not come?"
16589Why the hell do n''t you just shoot him from behind a bush? 16589 Why?"
16589Will you have more coffee-- my guest?
16589Without water?
16589Wrap it up?
16589You are a horseman, then?
16589You got ticket?
16589You like catch dat?
16589You mean me, too? 16589 You my friend?"
16589You saw that first bottle? 16589 You sure to get them all there safe and sound-- I suppose you''d be willing to guarantee that nothing''s going to happen to them, Buck?"
16589Your gun?
16589''Did you fellows really think there was any gold- bearing ore in the Lost Dog?
16589Ai n''t he, Meigs?"
16589Ai n''t there some way of getting there?
16589Ai n''t you never seen a guy hit the hop before?"
16589And also this Artie?"
16589And if the rumour gets back to me that you''ve been speculating or talking or criticizing----""Well?"
16589And if they did deny that right what more natural than that they should be made to perish-- or take their breakfasts in their rooms?"
16589And when the respectable lawyer wrote that the contract had been delivered, do you know what would happen to you?"
16589And why are you and your vaudeville make up?"
16589And why do you set such store by your travelling bag?
16589And why do you want to find Hooper''s ranch?
16589And why do you weep in the face of high heaven and outraged manhood?
16589Any candidates?
16589Anybody know anything about Starr?"
16589Are you all afraid of him or his Mexicans?"
16589Are you here of your free will, ma''am?"
16589Are you sick?"
16589Are you sure of it?"
16589Because they knew about the girl?
16589But answer me this: who would be your heir in case you died?"
16589But how?
16589But if it ai n''t a hoss, then what is it?
16589But when you think of it how could it have come out better?
16589But where''d you come from: and what for do you turn road agent and hold up your old friends?''
16589But why should he particularly desire my extinction?
16589Cain''t you ride up there?"
16589Car sick?
16589Did the latter exhibit alarm over either the double concussion of the gun or this fall of defunct game from above?
16589Do you know a man named Brower, Artie Brower?"
16589Do you know?"
16589Do you remember it?"
16589Ever found out who done those two hold- ups?''
16589Expaicting of anything?"
16589Get that clear?
16589Had he not seen me herding the locoed stranger?
16589Had n''t we better go at once?"
16589Have you got it with you?"
16589Hooper?"
16589How far is it to the next station where they''re going to put it off?
16589How long before his men would bring true word of the mistake that had been made?
16589How long would he continue to think so?
16589How was I to know he did n''t belong to that gang?
16589How''s feed down Mogallon way?"
16589I also told him he was a wonder, but how did he manage to slip out near a ton of dust up that road without our knowing it?
16589I believe Pete has a slightly projecting short rib on his left side-- or is it Pup?
16589I replied,"what''s that?"
16589I suppose it would be a simple matter to compute within a few thousand how many ducks would occupy so much space; but of what avail?
16589In the first place, how do you dope this out?"
16589It is n''t your talk,"interrupted Miss Emory,"but the sun is hot-- and-- haven''t you anything at all to eat?"
16589Not much like the old days, is it?"
16589Now about this Hooper; you say you know him?"
16589Now what you got to say?"
16589Of course, said I, gone to bed in the cool of evening: why should there be?
16589Poor, weak, vice- ridden, likeable little beggar, what could the future have held for him?
16589Remember that?"
16589Sure you do n''t mind my smoking?"
16589Thar''s a badger fight----""Where is this claim, anyway?"
16589That a bronco you''re riding?"
16589That plain?"
16589The old timer grasped me firmly by the right hand and held tight while he demanded, as usual,"What name?"
16589The only ray of hope''s the experience that old Bible fellow had with them turkey buzzards-- or was it ravens?"
16589The rear, did I say?
16589There may be some paper-- or something----""What do you mean?
16589Think carefully, and answer honestly: do n''t you think him capable of it?"
16589This daughter of the dead pardner-- this girl, what about her?
16589To be sure a man could kill more ducks from a blind; but what of that?
16589To whom had the other been smuggled?
16589Understand me clearly?
16589Understand?
16589Understand?
16589Want to shorten them?"
16589Want to try him?"
16589We had to remain in plain sight; but could we not make ourselves more difficult to recognize?
16589What brand of licker did you feed him, Sandy?"
16589What could I do?
16589What could you do?
16589What do you want me to do?"
16589What does that amount to?"
16589What four gaits you claim he''s got?"
16589What had I done or what knowledge did I possess that had not been equally done and known by any chance visitor to the ranch?
16589What kind of a bum tank town is this, anyhow?"
16589What more could a man ask?
16589What should an Arizona cowboy know of Praxiteles?
16589What sort of papers?
16589What would he do with it?
16589What''ve I ever done, I ask you that?
16589Whence had they come?
16589Where do you fellows salt your surplus, anyway?"
16589Where had Tiger dumped him, and where now was he lying?
16589Where is she now?"
16589Whither had the robber gone?
16589Who in blazes would have expected ducks here?"
16589Who let you inside the walls?"
16589Why do you figure he did this?"
16589Why does n''t the pardner raise a row?"
16589Why has he waited?"
16589Why has n''t someone shot him?
16589Why should he find pleasure in hunting such harmless creatures?
16589Why the zigzag?
16589Why was I thus received?
16589Why was I, an ordinary and rather dirty cowpuncher, not sent as usual to the men''s bunk house?
16589Why?
16589Why?"
16589Why?"
16589Wo n''t he stop?"
16589Wo n''t you sit down here, my dear?"
16589Would it do me any good to retreat?
16589You met him at dinner; and besides, I believe you had some correspondence with him, did you not?
16589You remember what I told you about setting your mind so that only one sort of noise will arouse it, but that one instantly?
16589and by what means had it come into Old Man Hooper''s possession?
16589and why should any one talk to him of that worthy Greek save as a subtle and hidden expression of contempt?
16589and why should he take on triumph over retrieving such petty game?
16589cried Jimmy, astounded,"and give Old Man Luck the backhand slap just when he''s decided to buy a corner lot in the Gaynes Addition?
16589he inquired,"bucked off?"
16589he roared, and then to the Chinaman who showed up in a nervous hover:"Give this lady grub, savvy?
16589he said, breathlessly,"then tell me: is there a doctor around here?"
16589said Windy with vast surprise,"me mournful?
16589that you were completely out of control?"
19012Afraid?
19012Ai n''t things suited you here?
19012An''I''m to be him?
19012An''if I do n''t?
19012An''now you''re goin''to tell us boys?
19012An''they''re goin''to love one another?
19012An''when did you say them cattle was rustled?
19012An''you ai n''t sure that Radford''s stealin''your cattle?
19012An''you''ve got all your characters doin''an''thinkin''things that you think they ought to do?
19012And do you think that man among the cattle is a rustler?
19012And so you have liked me?
19012And you have n''t been careful?
19012Anything doin''?
19012Anything new?
19012Are you working for the Two Diamond?
19012Ben,she said, trying to keep a quiver out of her voice,"are you sure it was Ferguson who shot you?"
19012But if I did listen?
19012But you have n''t lately?
19012Ca n''t you do something? 19012 DO YOU SMOKE?"
19012Did I stop?
19012Did I think that?
19012Did n''t you tell me that a writer should be in love in order to be able to write of it?
19012Did you see him before he shot you?
19012Did you stop at the cabin?
19012Do n''t you ever laugh inwardly?
19012Do n''t you think puttin''him in the book will spoil it, ma''am?
19012Do n''t you think so?
19012Do you feel like eating anything?
19012Do you know him?
19012Do you know the Two Diamond folks?
19012Do you mean that you wantin''to make sure that I loved you was n''t all for the sake of the story?
19012Do you really believe that I would allow a puncher to make love to me?
19012Do you reckon he''ll come around, ma''am?
19012Do you reckon that Two Diamond range boss comes over to see your brother?
19012Do you reckon that any reader is that inquisitive?
19012Do you see that man ridin''through that break on the ridge?
19012Do you think I am laughing?
19012Do you think it is quite safe?
19012Do you think that man among the cattle is a rustler?
19012Figger on shootin''him?
19012Hard luck?
19012Has Leviatt been here lately?
19012Have you got your eye on such a man?
19012He''s goin''to do what?
19012Him?
19012How did the stray- man measure up?
19012How did you prove that?
19012How do you know that you have any right to sit there and tell me that you take an interest in me? 19012 How do you know that?"
19012How far off was you standin''when that cow died?
19012How far up?
19012How far would you say he''s off, Mustard? 19012 How many cattle you missin''?"
19012How proved?
19012I expect they do a good bit of mushin''?
19012I expect you done a heap with your book yesterday-- after I went away?
19012I expect you was a long ways off yesterday when Leviatt an''Tucson come in from up the crick?
19012I hope you were not thinking of killing some one?
19012I reckon he ai n''t got nothing to do with it?
19012I reckon he was n''t none shy?
19012I reckon it was n''t serious?
19012I reckon that rattler did n''t take your appetite?
19012I reckon they did n''t know what you was comin''over here for?
19012I reckon you did n''t do your own doctorin''?
19012I reckon you did n''t go around advertisin''that?
19012I reckon you let him get away?
19012I reckon you remember our contract?
19012I reckon you told him about them missin''calves?
19012I wonder what he totes them two guns for?
19012If you planned to kill my brother, why did you not have the manhood to meet him face to face?
19012Is that gun- man goin''to be the hero in your story, ma''am?
19012Is there any more whiskey in your flask?
19012Just come in?
19012Leviatt been with you right along?
19012Leviatt come in?
19012Meanin''?
19012Meanin''?
19012Meanin''that you thought of that yourself?
19012Meanin''what?
19012Meaning what?
19012New man?
19012Not even when you thought your horse might have noticed that I had neglected to invite you off?
19012Nothin''s happened?
19012Now, is n''t that marvelous? 19012 Now, what do you think of that?"
19012So now you''ll be able to start your book with somethin''that really happened?
19012So that''s what you''re writin''?
19012So you do n''t love me?
19012So you saw that?
19012So you told him?
19012Some others?
19012Somethin''doin''?
19012Stafford hire you?
19012Suppose I did?
19012Suppose you try him?
19012That would be odd, would n''t it?
19012Them rustlers is gettin''to be pretty slick, ai n''t they?
19012Then I reckon you thought I had died, or stampeded out of this country?
19012Then you killed the snake?
19012Then you were not angry merely because he bit you? 19012 There ai n''t no other nester around here that you know of?"
19012They got Rope, you say?
19012They have told you that?
19012This town did n''t send any reception committee to meet me, did they?
19012Was Mr. Ferguson tellin''you that?
19012Was you really tryin''to hide?
19012Well, if I am?
19012Well, we''re plum easy, ai n''t we boys?
19012Went alone, I reckon?
19012Were you the man who hit the can five times?
19012What are you goin''to do about it?
19012What do you suppose he thought?
19012What do you suppose he would be shooting at at that time of the night?
19012What has happened?
19012What have I got an outfit for? 19012 What in hell do you suppose I sent for you for?"
19012What is he doing?
19012What is it that you wanted to be sure of?
19012What is wrong? 19012 What would?"
19012What you wantin''of a gun- man?
19012What''s up?
19012When was he shot?
19012When was you talkin''to him?
19012When you expectin''Ferguson?
19012When you expectin''him back?
19012When you left here last night did you meet Ben on the trail?
19012Where would he have come from?
19012Where you been? 19012 Where you from?"
19012Where''s Leviatt now?
19012Where''s he now?
19012Where''s your range boss?
19012Who shot you, Rope, old man?
19012Who''s Leviatt?
19012Who, Ben? 19012 Whoever saw such colors?"
19012Why do n''t the damn fool turn around? 19012 Why do you ask?"
19012Why have you done that?
19012Why, do n''t you see that I wanted to be sure of your love so that I might be able to portray a real love scene in my story?
19012Why, what----?
19012Why, who told you that I wrote?
19012Why, yes,he returned, wondering if Ben had told her what had been said at that meeting;"was he tellin''you about it?"
19012Why,said she, aware of his embarrassment,"do n''t you think there are such men?"
19012Why,she said smiling at him,"do you really think that I could be so mean?"
19012Why-- why,she returned, suddenly fearful that something had happened to Ben--"is anything wrong?"
19012Why-- why----she protested, trying her best to look scornful--"do you imagine that I would think of putting such a thing as that into my book?"
19012Why?
19012Why?
19012Why?
19012Wo n''t you get off your horse?
19012Would you mind tellin''me who you have picked out for your villain?
19012You afraid some one''s goin''to be killed?
19012You ai n''t givin''Tucson no chancst to say you drawed first?
19012You ai n''t goin''in?
19012You an''Tucson gettin''along?
19012You did n''t observe that the saddles rode any easier after the argument than before?
19012You do n''t say?
19012You do n''t? 19012 You do n''t?"
19012You goin''to have your''two- gun''man bit by a rattler?
19012You got a man an''a girl in it?
19012You got any love talk in there-- between the man an''the girl?
19012You got anything to say?
19012You got that there rifle anywheres handy?
19012You know him?
19012You lying about Ferguson because you think he''s friendly with Mary?
19012You particular about what you shoot at?
19012You reckon them saddles are acquainted?
19012You reckon to know the girl''s name too?
19012You ridin''up the crick to- day?
19012You runnin''sheep, stranger?
19012You see anything else?
19012You see that man down there among them cattle?
19012You seen anything of Radford yet?
19012You shakin''?
19012You stayed there over night?
19012You talkin''to him, you say?
19012You want to look at the country all by yourself?
19012You wanted to be sure?
19012You wantin''to get somethin''more for your story?
19012You willin''to work your guns for me for a hundred a month?
19012You workin''down the creek yesterday?
19012You''ll nurse him so''s he wo n''t die?
19012You''ll nurse him so''s he wo n''t die?
19012You''ll sure be over?
19012You''re Two Diamond men, ai n''t you?
19012You''re still thinkin''of puttin''me into the book?
19012Your range boss?
19012Your stray- man doin''anything these days?
19012Yu''do n''t say?
19012A glint of triumph lighted his eyes, but he looked down upon Stafford, drawling:"You been doin''the tallyin''?"
19012Ai n''t that proof enough?"
19012Ai n''t you afraid that I''ll go to actin''swelled?
19012An''do you think I''d shoot him after that?
19012An''how can you tell what their feelin''s would be when you set them doin''somethin''?"
19012An''so that''s the man you think has been stealin''your cattle?"
19012But if she did suspect him, what use was there in evasion or denial?
19012But what had become of the dogie?
19012But what if they did catch him?
19012But what motive would he have in this?
19012But you ai n''t objectin''to me settin''on this hill?"
19012CHAPTER IX WOULD YOU BE A"CHARACTER"?
19012CHAPTER XIII"DO YOU SMOKE?"
19012Could n''t you fetch him to, ma''am-- just long enough so''s I could ask him?"
19012Did her brother hold this opinion also?
19012Did men ever forget women they had loved?
19012Did she know anything?
19012Did she know that this was why he had selected this spot for the end of the ride?
19012Did she say what the character was goin''to be?"
19012Did she suspect him?
19012Did the girl live here alone?
19012Did the rider see her?
19012Did writers draw the pictures that appeared in their books?
19012Do I get it?"
19012Do folks in the East get interested in knowin''what''s goin''on out here?"
19012Do n''t you think so?"
19012Do n''t you think that could be possible?"
19012Do n''t you think you are guessing now?"
19012Do writers make them things up out of their own minds, or does someone tell them?"
19012Eh, Bill?"
19012Fairy tales?
19012Had she found it interesting?
19012Had she not so far discovered a certain craftiness in the character of the Two Diamond stray- man that would indicate subtlety of thought?
19012Has someone been shootin''Ben?"
19012He came into the room, standing near the door, his set lips moving a very little,"You heard anything from Leviatt yet?"
19012He heard again this man''s voice, as he himself had offered to eclipse his feat:--"You runnin''sheep, stranger?"
19012How could he know that he was going to be the villain in her book-- soon to be written?
19012How do you know Ferguson''s been hired to put me out of business?"
19012How do you know that I am not married?"
19012How do you know that I have n''t told you for the purpose of discovering if you would be affected in that manner?"
19012How?"
19012I expect a man that''s shot when he ai n''t got guns would be just as dead as a man that''s shot in the back, would n''t he?"
19012I reckon Ben told you somethin''of how this man looked?"
19012I reckon that''s right?"
19012I reckon you ai n''t willin''to tell me what you''ve agreed about?"
19012I reckon you told that right?"
19012I reckon you''re goin''to have one?"
19012I suppose you are accounted a good shot?"
19012I suppose you have never tried it?"
19012I suppose you were so far away at that time that you could n''t hear them?"
19012If he was a friend of the brother why had he suggested that Stafford employ a gunfighter to shoot him?
19012In that case what had Leviatt been doing on the ridge?
19012It''s a love scene,"she added banteringly;"do you think you could help me?"
19012Love stories?
19012Now why did n''t this man slope too?"
19012Now, what do you think of that?"
19012Romances?
19012Scared of another run- in with Leviatt?"
19012Shall we take a peep into that mysterious note book?
19012She would bare his soul to the reader; she would reveal his mental processes-- not involved, but leading straight and true to---- But would she?
19012Should she tell him that she had explored all of the country within thirty miles?
19012Suppose she and her brother suspected him of being the man who had participated in the shooting match in Dry Bottom?
19012Suppose the brother, or she, had invented this tale about the book to draw him out?
19012That strike you right?"
19012That you were hired by Stafford to do it?"
19012Then how could you do it?"
19012Then it does n''t follow that because a man wears two guns he is more likely to survive than is the man who wears only one?"
19012WOULD YOU BE A"CHARACTER"?
19012Was he to think then that she cared very little whether he came to the cabin or not?
19012Was she really serious in saying that she intended putting all this in her story, or was this a ruse, concealing an ulterior purpose?
19012Was that your range boss?"
19012Was you thinkin''that I beat him to death with somethin''?"
19012Were you?"
19012What did she write?
19012What force was at work in Leviatt when in Dry Bottom he had insulted Ferguson?
19012What have I got a range boss for?
19012What would have been Leviatt''s duty, after the departure of the rustlers?
19012What would they say if they knew of her friendship with the Two Diamond stray- man?
19012What''s your name?"
19012When was they missed?"
19012Where did Leviatt stand in this rustling business?
19012Where was the dogie?
19012Who did it?"
19012Who had told her that Stafford had hired him to shoot Radford?
19012Who is shot?"
19012Why did n''t you tell me that you came here to kill Ben?
19012Why had n''t he carried out his original intention of shooting the stray- man down from ambush?
19012Why not?
19012Why?
19012Wo n''t you come in?"
19012Would Miss Radford go riding with him?
19012Would her friends be able to see the romance in him?
19012Would it help his case to deny that he had thought of fooling her, that he never had any intention of shooting Ben?
19012Would she be at home?
19012Would she be glad to see him?
19012Would she change her mind over night?
19012Would she want to go back East to live-- takin''her cowpuncher with her to show off to her Eastern friends?"
19012Would the fact that he was Mary Radford''s brother affect his decision?
19012Would they be able to estimate him according to the standards of the world in which he lived, in which he moved so gracefully?
19012Would they gain by it?
19012You got another can?"
19012You killed him to keep him from attacking other persons?"
19012You reckon?"
19012You say them cattle was rustled last night?"
19012You say your brother ai n''t here now?"
19012You think you''ll be able to find your way home?"
19012You''re giving me a free hand?"
19012she gasped, catching at his sleeve,"why should he shoot?"
19012she said,"is it over?"
14085A hundred for the sorrel-- and a hundred and twenty- five for the gray; is that correct?
14085Afraid you''d get shot?
14085Ai n''t that kind of risky, Cap?
14085Ai n''t this good enough?
14085Ai n''t we, dad?
14085Ai n''t you goin''to say hello to your dad?
14085Am I goin''to get a lickin''?
14085And the folks?
14085And these here dice? 14085 And you say the gray is the best horse in the corral?"
14085And you''re sure they were Sneed''s men?
14085Any one get hurt?
14085Any one live there?
14085Anybody''s hat need ventilatin''?
14085Are there many more like him, out here?
14085Are you acquainted with Senator Brown?
14085But ca n''t we ride toward the foothills and get in the shade?
14085But how about your own folks?
14085But what am I going to do with you?
14085But what can they do? 14085 But what in Sam Hill did you pull her apart for?"
14085But why do n''t you come over and eat to our place? 14085 But why rent a place, if you plan to leave it right away?"
14085But you ai n''t talked with Dorry, yet, have you?
14085But you wo n''t go, just because I spoke as I did?
14085Ca n''t I go with you?
14085Caught''em? 14085 Cheyenne?"
14085Cigarettes and chewing- gum?
14085Confession usually implies having done something wrong, does n''t it?
14085D- didn''t I hang to him, dad?
14085Dad, are you mad at ma for leavin''us?
14085Did Panhandle come in from the south?
14085Did he also tell you about your bull?
14085Did he come in for medicine, perhaps?
14085Did he talk much about Sears?
14085Did you ring, Senator?
14085Did you talk to him?
14085Did you tell Uncle Frank?
14085Did you thank Mr. Bartley for the gun?
14085Did you want to send another wire?
14085Did your Aunt Jane tell you you could go over to the mountain?
14085Do you mean it?
14085Do you think that man Sneed will ride down this way?
14085Dorothy, will you help me make that home, here in the valley, and be my comrade on the trails?
14085Double- crossed you, eh? 14085 Eat stingin''lizards?"
14085Ever shoot one before?
14085Ever sleep in a Injun hogan?
14085For instance?
14085For stingin''lizards, eh?
14085Goin''to town, dad?
14085Goin''to trail him, Cheyenne?
14085Going south?
14085Going to leave town to- night?
14085Got any smokin''?
14085Got that twenty- two, yet?
14085Got the_ morrals_ and everything, dad?
14085Had n''t you better ask Aunt Jane?
14085Had n''t you better ask her?
14085Had to do what?
14085Hard of hearin''?
14085Have what?
14085Have you a minute to spare?
14085He''s trying to''Out- West''me a bit, is n''t he?
14085Hell, I thought you was from New York?
14085Him? 14085 Honest?"
14085Honest?
14085How about that surprise?
14085How about the law?
14085How about their own horses?
14085How about your feet?
14085How are the folks up Antelope way?
14085How did these horses get here?
14085How do you know he did n''t?
14085How do you know it?
14085How do you know she is good- looking?
14085How do you like this here country, anyhow?
14085How far is it to the ranch?
14085How goes the hunting?
14085How in Sam Hill did you get him here?
14085How is that?
14085How many?
14085How old_ is_ Dobe?
14085How was Little Jim when you left?
14085How would you like to ride a real hoss, once?
14085How''s that?
14085How''s the folks?
14085How?
14085How?
14085I guess ma kind of throwed us down, did n''t she, dad?
14085I reckon you''re rich?
14085I said: Was you ridin''?
14085I wonder what the joke is?
14085If the money is gone, she is gone; yes?
14085If you do n''t mind tellin''me-- how much?
14085In San Andreas?
14085Is he a friend of yours?
14085Is ma gone to live in town?
14085Is n''t he hurt?
14085Is n''t it early to hunt rabbits?
14085Is that the kind you wanted?
14085Is that you, Cheyenne?
14085Is there anything hooked to the back of my jeans?
14085Is this the water- hole?
14085It ai n''t our fault ma ai n''t goin''with us, is it?
14085It is as obvious as all that, then?
14085It was that man Hull, from the mountain, was n''t it?
14085Just us two, all alone?
14085Know where you''re goin''?
14085Little Jo, where you bushin''out? 14085 Little?"
14085Lost any horses, Cheyenne?
14085May I have it?
14085No? 14085 Not including Panhandle Sears, eh?"
14085Now, as a writin''man, what would you say?
14085Our horses?
14085Panhandle?
14085Panhandle?
14085Promise you wo n''t tell?
14085Quit what?
14085Remember Little Jim, back at the Hastings ranch?
14085Ridin'', stranger?
14085Say, Dorry, ca n''t you hurry up? 14085 Say, where was you raised?"
14085Say, you would n''t call me a tenderfoot, would you?
14085Senator Steve Brown? 14085 Serious?
14085Shall I let him have it?
14085Shall I shoot him?
14085Shot? 14085 Six?"
14085So old Steve is down here lookin''for his hosses, eh?
14085So you figure to bed down at the hotel, eh?
14085So you figure to walk up to Pan and invite him to shoot a little game, when you meet up with him?
14085Suppose I said''Green River''?
14085Suppose,he ventured,"that a bunch of Sneed''s riders was to run on to you?
14085Sure it was Sneed?
14085That so? 14085 That you, Shy?"
14085That''s all right, but what''ll you put up against''em?
14085The best, eh? 14085 The stove and beds and everything?"
14085The tenderfoot--he referred to Bartley--"is he goin''along with you?"
14085Then Sears has got a yellow streak?
14085Then that crap game in Antelope meant more than an ordinary crap game?
14085Then why did you ask me?
14085Then why do n''t you go get her?
14085Then you did n''t hit him with your gun?
14085Then you did n''t know just what to expect?
14085Then you got your horses?
14085Then you know?
14085They ai n''t, eh?
14085Those are Cheyenne''s horses, are n''t they?
14085Uh- huh? 14085 Was Miss Dorry going with you?"
14085Was Wishful drunk?
14085Was the other man a deputy?
14085Was there any one with him: a tall, dark- haired, kind of clean- cut boy, for instance?
14085Was you lookin''for Jimmy''s address in that there book?
14085Was you lookin''for a guide, mebby?
14085Was you rattlin''the bones to see if you could beat yourself?
14085Was your folks hoss- traders?
14085We''re broke, and who the hell cares?
14085Well, suppose she does? 14085 Well, what do you say to going over and buying it?"
14085Were you going anywhere?
14085What did you pay for''em?
14085What do you know about hoss- thieves?
14085What do you say to a rabbit hunt to- morrow morning early?
14085What do you say, boys? 14085 What do you want?"
14085What else did you tell him?
14085What horses?
14085What is your plan?
14085What sort of traveling companion would he make?
14085What was that one about Arizona that you gave''em over to the State House onct?
14085What will the Indian do with the horses?
14085What will you take for the gray?
14085What you been up to?
14085What you got to say about it, anyway?
14085What''s on the other end of that rope?
14085What''s sad?
14085What''s the matter?
14085What''s the matter?
14085What''s the use of walkin''up the old road in the dark?
14085What? 14085 What?
14085What? 14085 When do you aim to start?"
14085When do you start?
14085Where are they?
14085Where does Cheyenne belong, anyway?
14085Where have n''t you been?
14085Where in the world did you get that?
14085Where them horn toads and stingin''lizards are?
14085Where you been?
14085Where you goin''?
14085Where you headed?
14085Where''s your shootin''-iron?
14085Which was a minute too late, eh?
14085Who did he say that to?
14085Who is he?
14085Who is that stout man I bumped into trying to catch my train?
14085Who told you to help your father get his horses?
14085Who wants to know?
14085Who wants to know?
14085Who, Lon? 14085 Who?"
14085Why ca n''t we both walk out?
14085Why did n''t you discourage Mr. Bartley''s idea of making such a journey?'' 14085 Why did n''t you stop by to our place instead of bushin''way up here?"
14085Why do n''t you tell me to go git him?
14085Why not give up the idea of-- er-- getting Sears; and settle down, and make a home for Little Jim?
14085Why not just whiskey, and have it over with?
14085Why not?
14085Why? 14085 Why?"
14085Wild?
14085Will they sell the horses?
14085Will you sing that''Git Along''song for me, dad?
14085Wonder where he lost young Bartley? 14085 Would you like to try it?"
14085Would you mind saying that again?
14085Would you put a price on the gray?
14085Yes, sir?
14085Yes? 14085 You are n''t pretending, are you?
14085You been behavin''yourself?
14085You figure to stay in town a spell, do n''t you? 14085 You goin''to kill Sneed?"
14085You mean_ your_ hoss?
14085You really mean it?
14085You say you saw him, on your way down here?
14085You say you were looking for this man Sears, and yet you took his part against Sneed''s outfit?
14085You talked with Cheyenne, and got him to keep out of it?
14085You think you''re her beau, do you? 14085 You''re headed for Steve''s ranch?"
14085You''ve had trouble with him before, have n''t you?
14085Ai n''t that right, Lon?"
14085And Mr. Bartley had actually seen the shooting?
14085And did Mr. Bartley wish to be called at any special hour in the morning?
14085And were n''t they hungry?
14085And what does writing about people amount to, when you can really do something for them?
14085And what else?"
14085And when it came to a show- down,_ would_ Cheyenne call him to account?
14085And who''s goin''to stop us from ridin''in, or out, of town?
14085And why had Cheyenne never mentioned the boy?
14085And why should n''t he?
14085And would Mr. Bartley prefer a front room?
14085And you say you figure to stay here a spell?"
14085Are they yours?"
14085Are you comfortable?"
14085But did you ever see him shoot craps?"
14085But he asked himself why should he be?
14085But now you''re here, how do you like the country?"
14085But tell me why you Westerners always seem to think it strange that an Easterner can sit a horse or shoot fairly well?
14085But we''re leavin''here and--"What''s your hurry?"
14085But where_ is_ Little Jim?"
14085But why''stranger''when you say you ca n''t see me?"
14085CHAPTER XVII THAT MESCAL"The man who had your horses?"
14085Ca n''t you see?
14085Did n''t you ever see a squaw chew gum and smoke a tailor- made cigarette at the same time?
14085Did n''t you, Aunt Jane?"
14085Distance?
14085Do I know Steve Brown?
14085Do n''t you want to go?"
14085Do n''t you wish you was goin'', Dorry?"
14085Do n''t you?"
14085Do you know why Wishful stepped in and put Sears down?
14085Do you think Aunt Jane would mind if we walked up the road as far as-- well, as far as the spring?"
14085Does dogs eat lizards?"
14085Feel dizzy?"
14085Gimme a hand, will you?"
14085Great Scott, how far is it to Senator Brown''s ranch?"
14085Has Aunt Jane got any of''em on her ranch?"
14085He took one look at that picture, and then he says, kind of sorrowful:''Is this the only place in town where they serve liquor?''
14085Heard the news from up that way?"
14085How are you and how are the horses?
14085How do you know but I might be tryin''to sell you a gold mine?"
14085How is Aunt Jane and Dorry?"
14085How is everything?"
14085How long will it take me to get there, riding the bay?"
14085How old would_ you_ say?"
14085How would you like to visit Aunt Jane, down in Arizona?"
14085How you makin''it, dad?"
14085I guess I was n''t man enough, when I heard that--""You mean Panhandle Sears-- at Antelope?"
14085I mean-- about your condition?"
14085I tell you, Mr. Bartley--""Suppose you say just Bartley?"
14085If I were a man--""Then you think I could have influenced him?"
14085If he had not discovered the missing horses, how would his father know where they were?
14085Is Wishful bedded down for the night or is he over to the Blue Front shootin''craps?"
14085Is dad gone?"
14085Is it because you consider that the average tourist represents the entire East?"
14085Is that how he came to tear his jeans?"
14085Leavin''here?"
14085Little Jim had promptly asked Bartley,"Who done it?"
14085Me?
14085Me?
14085Mebby you heard tell of Cheyenne Hastings?"
14085Nine?
14085Nine?
14085No, have you?"
14085Nobody to home?
14085Sabe?"
14085Say, day after to- morrow?"
14085Say, stranger, how far do you think a man could travel out of here, before somebody''d get him?
14085See this hat?
14085Seen anything of Jimmy?"
14085Smith?''
14085So that was why Bartley had been so attentive and polite?
14085Supposin''they did?
14085Surely Dorothy had not caught up the horses so soon?
14085That last was improvised, was n''t it?"
14085That there is a Luger gun, ai n''t it?"
14085Think you can josh_ me_?"
14085This way, you said?"
14085Thought you said we was goin''to Arizona?"
14085Time?
14085To git him?"
14085Want to ride over with me and have a little talk with Panhandle?"
14085What do you want to see me about?"
14085What do you want?"
14085What excuse would Cheyenne have to call Panhandle to account?
14085What kind of matches you got with you?"
14085What more did a man need to make life worth while?
14085What was the arrival of a mere train, with possibly a guest or so for the hotel, compared with a game of craps?
14085What you doin''up here in the brush, anyhow?"
14085What''s the answer?"
14085Why could n''t they talk about something worth listening to?
14085Why did n''t you say you could shoot?"
14085Why not?
14085Why, ai n''t most folks serious enough without everybody bein''took that way?"
14085Wild- goose chase?
14085Will you engineer the deal?
14085Wishful rent him to you?"
14085Wo n''t you reconsider?"
14085Would n''t you?
14085Would you?"
14085You ai n''t Sneed, are you?"
14085You did n''t, eh?
14085You say he stopped here a few days ago?"
14085_ Our_ horses?
14376''All right,''says he;''you can cure my little chief?'' 14376 ''An accomplishment or a vice?
14376''At the bill?'' 14376 ''Could you put me to work?''
14376''Darling,''calls Henrietta,''will you listen to reason a moment?'' 14376 ''Did these brutes entice you away with candy?''
14376''How about falling off and spraining my ankle on the way back?'' 14376 ''How could you do that when you did n''t know the sex?''
14376''How do you get any sport out of them,''demands the lady,''if they ca n''t give you a jolly good chase?'' 14376 ''How do you know?''
14376''How''d it start?'' 14376 ''How?''
14376''I did it, did n''t I?'' 14376 ''Is that all?''
14376''Listen,''I says:''You believe I''m your friend, do n''t you? 14376 ''Little starry- eyed gypsy, I say, when are you going to pull some of that open- road stuff?''
14376''Not speaking?'' 14376 ''Oh, Mr. Price,''says she, catching Alonzo by the sleeve,''do you think he''s really sincere?''
14376''Percy,''cries his wife,''have you forgotten your manhood?'' 14376 ''The what?''
14376''Truest thing in the world,''I says,''but bless your heart, did you suspicion riding breeches was daring on a woman? 14376 ''Well, do you know what I got when I first rode out on the ranch?
14376''What have you done?'' 14376 ''What''s Wilbur writing that kind of music for?''
14376''What''s that mean?'' 14376 ''Wilbur?''
14376A murderer, is he?
14376A toy for the idle rich-- was that it? 14376 Ai n''t I got to mend this latigo?"
14376Ai n''t I told you guys not to be taking up the company''s time with them novels?
14376Ai n''t I told you what I''d do if you loaded them guns?
14376Ai n''t he just the hostile little wretch?
14376Ai n''t he the hell- cat?
14376Ai n''t he the hostile wretch?
14376Ai n''t it the limit?
14376Ai n''t it the sobbing tenor?
14376Ai n''t this new style of tramp funny? 14376 Ai n''t we the goods, though, when we do once learn a thing?
14376Ai n''t you heard?
14376All what? 14376 And in my own home?"
14376Believe in God?
14376Burying ground?
14376But what could I do, more than what I had done? 14376 Could I play with my own cards?"
14376Did n''t I tell you the rest of this show was going to die standing up? 14376 Did n''t you ever have toothache?"
14376Did you hear the big cheat? 14376 Do I go alone, then?"
14376Do n''t you indeed?
14376Do you see those workmen tearing up that car- track?
14376Foreigners, bazaars, vice, and Egbert Floud?
14376Get me there, do you?
14376Go on; what about that next time?
14376How about this brother- in- law of yours, Pete?
14376How do you expect to sleep with all that going on?
14376How do you like it?
14376How many more times I got to tell you? 14376 How many of them knitted crawdabs you sold out there at your booths?"
14376How much do you lose on the night?
14376How old?
14376How will your fourteen hundred lost be any help to the Belgians?
14376I bought the bar, did n''t I?
14376I ca n''t do no more, can I?
14376I was going to give what I win, was n''t I? 14376 Is he really dangerous?"
14376Is that so, indeed?
14376Man tell you before?
14376Me? 14376 Me?
14376Never think it to look at me?
14376Not keeping you up, are we?
14376Now was that spoken like a wise woman or like the two- horned Galumpsis Caladensis of East India, whose habits are little known to man? 14376 Now what do you think of that?"
14376Pete''s brother- in- law? 14376 Say, did you ever think what aggravating minxes women are after they been married a few years-- after the wedding ring gets worn a little bit thin?"
14376Say,demanded Boogles,"on the level, ai n''t he the real Peruvian doughnuts?
14376Shoot up a good cook, will you?
14376Shoot?
14376That tank drama? 14376 The old boy that had''em says''Oh, yes, they would make fine pets, and do n''t I want a couple for ten dollars to take home to the little ones?''
14376Then dear Ellabelle pipes up:''And does n''t the dear boy say who was with him in this prank?'' 14376 Then what?"
14376They work out toward the front door; and then I hear Pete say:''You know what? 14376 Those liars tell you about one time he shoot white man off horse going by?"
14376Well, Old- Timer, what has took the droop out of your face?
14376Well, now--"Will you or wo n''t you?
14376Well, what about that next time he broke out?
14376Well, what did your brother- in- law do when he heard about this?
14376Well, why string it out? 14376 Were you down there?"
14376Wh''d you bring that for?
14376What about that sufferer down there in the bunk house?
14376What did Pete fire the shot for and who stopped it? 14376 What did Wilfred Lennox, the hobo poet, have to do with Mr. Ben Sutton, of Nome, Alaska?"
14376What did you do?
14376What does parties want of this truck when they can come down to my joint and get real entertainment for their money? 14376 What more would you want to know about the powers of this here piece of music?
14376What noise?
14376What street in New York is your old home on?
14376What was I telling you?
14376What you reckon they did last night? 14376 What''s one weak woman?"
14376What''s that? 14376 What''s the use?
14376What''s this about his brother- in- law?
14376What''s your brother- in- law''s name?
14376When Captain Jack fought the soldiers over in the Lava Beds?
14376Where''d she catch it? 14376 Which ones?"
14376Why do n''t you get Boogles to embroider that name of yours on the front of your shirt? 14376 Why does he hide in there?"
14376Why?
14376Will you look once at that poor degraded red heathen, acting like a whirlwind over in the woodlot?
14376You a Christian, Pete?
14376You a Modoc?
14376You an old man, Pete?
14376You could n''t blame the man for wanting his wife back, could you?
14376You fight, too?
14376You know about this time that son- of- gun go''n''kill a bright lawyer in Red Gap? 14376 You remember a long time ago-- how long?"
14376''Ai n''t it a cunning little implement?''
14376''And does he think of buying''em-- as is often done in the cattle business-- or is he merely aiming to do me a favour?''
14376''And now I must hurry down for that sport bloose-- blue- striped, you said?''
14376''Any places round here they could fall into and get drownded?''
14376''Are the other meals here as good as breakfast?''
14376''Are those fried oysters I see up there?''
14376''But what is my comfort compared to dear Burchell''s peace of mind?''
14376''Ca n''t you see I''d be in peril of falling off?''
14376''Did you think I would answer your beck and call or your lightest nod as if I were your slave or something?
14376''Got what?''
14376''How about water?''
14376''How bad was she hurt?''
14376''How dare you drag a lady''s name into a barroom brawl?''
14376''Is that so?''
14376''Leg or arm?''
14376''Maybe you can,''says Everett,''but are you dead sure you want to?''
14376''No?''
14376''That''s plain enough, ai n''t it?
14376''Then why ask how I could?''
14376''This parcels post is a grand thing, ai n''t it?''
14376''Was they holding you here for ransom?''
14376''What did you think I am?''
14376''What do I do first?''
14376''What you got, Pete?
14376''What you got?
14376''What''s that?''
14376''Where''s the old man?''
14376''Why the whisk broom?''
14376''Will she think me impetuous?''
14376''s had in twelve volumes-- you would n''t have thought there was that many, would you?
1437622 and 33?"
143769872 with the Norfolk jacket in this mail- order catalogue-- do you think that looks too theatrical, or do n''t you?
14376A girl wearing''em ca n''t be any more daring after the first quick shock is over than-- well, you read the magazines, do n''t you?
14376A very worthy creature I gather from what Chester tells me, a Miss Macgillicuddy--''"''Not the manicure party?''
14376After he got his face human again he says to us:"''Would either of you think now that you could guess at what might have been his dying speech?
14376Ai n''t I forbid you time and again ever to load them guns?
14376Ai n''t it funny how they get the gambling spirit so young?
14376Am I right or wrong?"
14376And I ask him does he think I''d pay a thousand dollars out on a game I had n''t overlooked?
14376And I says it''s the surest thing in the world; but why?
14376And doctors?
14376And how did I find ranching now?
14376And of course you''ve heard about Pettikin''s affair for this evening?''
14376And pretty soon-- what was she thinking about now?
14376And she says, where will the sport be with creatures all out of condition with fat, like mine are?
14376And the Bishop says,"How''s the trail back of you, my friend?"
14376And then-- the moment seeming ripe for intimate personal research:"Pete, how about that brother- in- law of yours?
14376And what do we get here and now?
14376And what shall I do?''
14376And what you reckon he meant by studying manuscripts?
14376And what you think she come back with?
14376And what you think?
14376And where in the world did he ever learn to ride so stunningly, like one of those dare- devils in a Wild West entertainment?
14376And why do n''t I come along with the bunch?
14376And would they hunt again next day?
14376And you can still read, ca n''t you, in the midst of your agonies?"
14376Any one that thinks of a play in New York thinks of that, do n''t he?
14376Because why?
14376Been showing''em for thirty years now, and still had her health, had n''t she?
14376Ben did n''t have to live with their wives so what cared he?
14376But Hetty just looks it over cheerfully and says:''Oh, well, what can you expect for three thirty- eight?''
14376But after all it was n''t luck, because she''d laid her foundations the day before, had n''t she?
14376But all joking aside, I want to ask him this: Does he consider poetry to be an accomplishment or a vice?''
14376But had she ever paused to compute the money value of time lost by her henchmen in dismounting to open these clumsy makeshifts?
14376But still, after all, was n''t it sensible, now really, when you come right down to it?
14376But what could a lone defenceless woman expect?
14376But what was"''em"that in degrading punishment and to the public shame of the Arrowhead he must wear on the morrow?
14376But, for a time at least--"So he''s one of these tough murderers, is he?"
14376Ca n''t you forget your natural avarice and loosen up some?"
14376Ca n''t you play a sensible tune then?"
14376Can you beat it?
14376Could his fallen idol be there, I wondered?
14376Could you beat that for nerve-- in a day, in a million years?
14376Did I see that wattle brand-- the jug- handle split?
14376Did n''t I hear you?
14376Did n''t I, now?"
14376Did n''t it strike you that one of them women without anything on would have a hard time if she tried to be daring-- or did it?
14376Do n''t you know about that?
14376Do you get me?''
14376Do you get me?''
14376Do you hear?
14376Do you remember the eating- house at North Platte, Nebraska?
14376Does n''t your gypsy soul hear the call?
14376Does she promise to make life interesting for those who love her, or does she not?
14376Ever read the story about a man going to sleep and waking up in a glass case in a museum a thousand years later?
14376Ever see such natural- born gamblers?
14376Every darned one of''em felt that her innocent young girlhood was challenged, and would she let it go at that?
14376First I said:"Now, ai n''t that fine and chivalrous?"
14376Had he not been specifically warned to"wear''em"full shamefully in the public eye?
14376Had he not come off with his dollar?
14376He asked why a palm room necessarily?
14376He chokes and says:''What nonsense?''
14376He climbed out of the cab in a reverent manner, hoping to be overcome by the sight of the cherished old home, and what did he find?
14376He says he has one more favour to ask of me: Will I allow his sister to come up some day and see the lovely carnage?
14376He says to me afterward why do n''t I train some of mine and trim her good?
14376He was saying to himself:"Is this here a new kind of rabbits, or is it a joke-- or what?
14376He was saying:"You will, will you?"
14376He''d just got a new one that goes:"Why is an elephant like a corkscrew?
14376He''s laughing in a childish frenzy and says is this me?
14376His eyes unglazed and he looks around and says how did he get here and where is it?
14376How many times I got to tell you?
14376How you think catch''um din''not have wood?"
14376How''d they know, the poor dubs, that a poet was n''t something a business man had ought to be polite and grovelling to?
14376I ask you, what chance has a girl got with no nonsense about her?
14376I looked closer then and what do you reckon it was?
14376I says it is, but that''s neither here nor there, and what does he want at this hour?
14376I says yes, I will, being that excited myself and wanting to see really if I was a double- faced genius or was n''t I?
14376I says, does she aim to breed racing cattle?
14376I see one of our offended sex is daily asking right out in a newspaper:"Are women people?"
14376I told you I knew how to run one of these grafts, did n''t I?
14376Is he a Christian?"
14376Is he a one- God Christian or a two- God, like you?"
14376Is that like a woman or is it like something science has not yet discovered?
14376It sure looked like he was right for once in his life; so I says:"What is it you''ve done?"
14376Judge Ballard was up here on a fishing trip one time and heard him calling it Kate, and he says to Egbert: Why call it Kate when it ai n''t?
14376Len says all right, how much does she want to risk?
14376Lon Price said it was too late to go to a theatre, so what could we do to pass the time till morning?
14376Look at me,''I says-- we was down in Red Gap at the time--''pretty soon I''ll go up to the ranch and what''ll I do there?"
14376Lovely weather we''re having, ai n''t it?''
14376Me?
14376Mr. Daggett knows just everything, does n''t he?
14376Mrs. Martingale said the poet, it was true, had a compelling personality, but what was our young girls coming to?
14376Nettie nudged Chet and whispered,''Do n''t you just love it?''
14376Never go huntin''trouble-- understand?
14376Not feeling well, mamma?
14376Now what you know about that?"
14376Now, then, what do we see on Saturday next?
14376Nowadays I bet they''d have: Which does the most harm-- doctors or lawyers?
14376Of course if he was a foot- racer or something like that, where he did n''t need hands--''''What''s all this?''
14376Oh, that young dame was bound to be a social pet among the ladies of the town, yes-- no?
14376Really, ai n''t it the gooey mess of heart- throbs when you come right down to it?
14376Say, ai n''t it a downright wonder I still retain my girlish laughter?"
14376See?
14376So Alonzo bristles up to Wilfred and glares at him and says:''All joking aside, is that one of my new shirts you''re wearing or is it not?''
14376So she says,''No; but what has that got to do with it?''
14376So that was the secret of your strange behaviour?
14376So why would n''t I give what I lose?
14376So you never heard about Pete sending this medicine man over the one- way trail?
14376Some song, yes?
14376Tea?
14376That''s plain enough for any one but a woman to see, ai n''t it?
14376The minute he gets down from the stand he makes for him and says what does he mean by saying he was crazy when he done this killing?
14376The world was still; but was it-- quite?
14376Then another would say:"What of it?
14376Then he looked at him hard and peculiar and says:''When you going to pull some of it for us?''
14376Then he says to the Bishop,"And what''s it like back of you?"
14376Then she must of seen the laugh was on her, all right; for what did she do?
14376Was I awfully keen about it and was it ripping good sport?
14376Was n''t that just like the old smarty?
14376Was not the public eye present, avid?
14376Well, that sounded important, so Ben says"What did I tell you?
14376What chance would them two defenceless little children have with a gang of two hundred Blackhanders?''
14376What changed him?
14376What could there be in this?
14376What did I tell you, smarties?
14376What do we care if he''s a regular rabbit or not?
14376What do you know about that?
14376What do you think of that for nerve?''
14376What do you think of that talk from a man named Angus McDonald?
14376What do you think of that?
14376What do you think?
14376What else could I say?
14376What is a br''iled b''ar steak?
14376What was that?"
14376What was the funny blow- up?"
14376What was the use?"
14376What you know about that?
14376What''s that?
14376What''s that?
14376What''s that?
14376What''s that?
14376What, indeed, could"''em"be?
14376What, indeed, were the"many reasons"that Mr. Sutton had grimly not confided to ye scribe?
14376What?
14376When I asked her what she was going to stock her ranch with she said did n''t I have some good heads of stock I could sell her?
14376When I was a kid at school, back in Fredonia, New York State, we used to have debates about which does the most harm-- fire or water?
14376When they do get still-- with Pete looking blacker than ever at his lawyer-- Cale Jordan says:''Pete, did you do this killing?''
14376Where did I put that album anyway?
14376Where did I put that dusting cloth?"
14376Where''d you get the ca''tridges?"
14376Why could n''t he of stayed up here where the keen- eyed officers of the law could of pretended not to know he was?
14376Will you look at that clock now?
14376Wo n''t I ever learn to stop?
14376Would n''t she bean me?
14376Would n''t she give the old penny- pincher hell if she had him here?
14376Would that get you, or would it not?
14376You could just see that New Yorker saying to himself,"So this is their game, is it?"
14376You do n''t think it too idealized?''
14376You got a regular wife, ai n''t you?''
14376You got it straight that far?"
14376You got one, have n''t you?''
14376You hear me?
14376You think both O.K.?"
14376You would, would you?
14376You''d think I had him pinned down, would n''t you?
14376there; and''Poor Kitty, did I forget to warm its milk?''
10324A chair? 10324 A pet out of him?
10324After all our work, are you going to give him up without a fight?
10324After all, what''s this Hunter amount to? 10324 Ah?
10324Ai n''t I labored and slaved all my life to make you handy with guns? 10324 Ai n''t Tod got more brains than most growed- up men?"
10324Ai n''t you heard?
10324All by yourself? 10324 All day?"
10324And I suppose you''d want the pay of three men?
10324And Reeve-- he admits he done the killing?
10324And he admitted it?
10324And he''ll stay with us?
10324And he''s really fast?
10324And how come the shooting?
10324And now where''re we headed?
10324And now?
10324And that''s why you brought him?
10324And they found the money on Pete Reeve?
10324And what are you?
10324And what do you mean by all these fool suggestions? 10324 And what good''s a hoss if he ca n''t be rode with a saddle?"
10324And what might you have to do with Pete Reeve?
10324And what the devil difference does that make to you?
10324And what''s all the celebration about?
10324And why d''you want to see him? 10324 And why not take him in with us?"
10324And you did n''t come to ride Diablo?
10324And you''re supporting him?
10324Are you going to let him go like that?
10324Are you going to try to get out of it, now that you''ve seen you ca n''t bluff me down-- that I wo n''t stand for your tricks?
10324Are you ready?
10324Are you talking murder to me, Riley?
10324Are-- are they going to rope Diablo?
10324Asleep? 10324 Beat me?"
10324Because he has the black now, it does n''t mean that he''s going to have him forever, does it?
10324Because you seen Tod ride him?
10324Big enough and strong enough to carry me?
10324Brave?
10324Bringing on another one to look over your bear?
10324Building a barn, eh?
10324But I''ve been thinking,said Bull, as he sadly watched the money disappear,"that you might be needing me to help you put up the barn?
10324But ai n''t you about used up your money?
10324But how''d you make a start with that man- eating Diablo?
10324But how_ will_ you make a living if you stick with him?
10324But it was queer, eh? 10324 But maybe you were n''t half trying?"
10324But the saddle and the bridle?
10324But what reason did you have, son? 10324 But what''s happened?
10324But-- but did you see his face, boys, after he heaved the stump up? 10324 Could you teach me?"
10324Cut across for Johnstown,said Joe softly,"in a storm like this?
10324D''you know Pete Reeve?
10324D''you mean that?
10324D''you think I''d have a chance with him even if you showed me how?
10324D''you think maybe you could pay me a little something outside of food and a place to sleep?
10324D''you want to try the saddle on him now?
10324Devil?
10324Did you get up that stump?
10324Did you hear that? 10324 Did you see the big hulk look at Mary Hood?"
10324Did you see?
10324Do I have to sit through supper and look at that hound?
10324Do I have to stand here and listen to this fool talk?
10324Does that sound reasonable, a gent going on foot when he might ride?
10324Drunk, en?
10324Dyin''? 10324 Feel it in the wind?"
10324Flirt with that big, quiet fellow?
10324Flirt with that thick- head? 10324 Friend,"he said, earnestly pleading,"will you let me make a suggestion?"
10324Given away?
10324Going to snow?
10324Have you got a grudge agin''Reeve?
10324Have you got your things?
10324He saved my life?
10324He''s an educated bucker, you see?
10324Him? 10324 Him?
10324Him?
10324Hosses?
10324How close were they sitting?
10324How come he shot at a chair? 10324 How come he understands books?"
10324How come he''s in jail?
10324How come?
10324How could you tell by the sound?
10324How did things go?
10324How else are you going to get the hoss? 10324 How long are you goin''to keep me waiting for food?"
10324How much?
10324How''d I be mistaking you for him if I knowed him? 10324 I dunno what you mean?"
10324I mean who found out that the sheriff done it?
10324I''m old enough to be Jack Hood-- maybe you''ve heard of me? 10324 Is that the Pete Reeve,"said Harry''s voice,"that shot up Mike Rivers over the hill to the Tompkins place, about four year back?"
10324Is that the wild horse?
10324Is that your man?
10324Is this the way my blood is showin''up in my sons? 10324 Is this the way you want it?"
10324Just what are you driving at, Hal?
10324Killed-- by that? 10324 Kind of appears like you might n''t of been so lucky?"
10324Know something? 10324 Me?
10324Me?
10324Me?
10324Might n''t you be a partner of Pete''s? 10324 Murder?"
10324Now, partner?
10324Oh, you''re the fellow who tried to make a pet out of Diablo? 10324 Say, Jessie, where''d you drop from?
10324Say,shouted the sheriff, paler than ever now,"what are you accusing me of?"
10324Shall I lock the door?
10324Sheriff Anderson,he said,"may I see this Reeve?"
10324Shoot him?
10324Smashed? 10324 So you ai n''t heard of Diablo?
10324Somebody throwed a chair at him, and the sheriff got rattled and shot at it instead of dodging? 10324 Son,"he said earnestly, walking down the street with Bull,"d''you know anything agin''this Pete Reeve?
10324Sponging?
10324Stranger,she said softly,"what are you running away from?"
10324Suppose Hood gets killed?
10324Suppose you give me the job handling the timbers?
10324Suppose you say what you want?
10324Suppose you was to learn to ride Diablo before Hal Dunbar come to try him out? 10324 Surely they ai n''t any harm in just supposing?"
10324Take a look at it?
10324Take him with me? 10324 That big-- He saved my life?"
10324That old man?
10324The saddle? 10324 They found the money he took off this Armstrong?"
10324Tied down?
10324Was they any shots fired then?
10324Well,he said jocularly,"what you going to accuse me of, Bull Hunter?"
10324Well?
10324What about it?
10324What about them?
10324What brung him to life?
10324What d''you think they''re going to do? 10324 What luck?
10324What name did you say?
10324What sort of a looking man, captain?
10324What things, big fellow?
10324What would do you?
10324What you been thinking about? 10324 What you got?"
10324What''d he do?
10324What''d you do then?
10324Where''d you like to have it?
10324Which of you takes the trail?
10324Who the devil are you?
10324Why did n''t you tell me that in the first place?
10324Why in reason should a man climb over rocks? 10324 Why not?
10324Why not?
10324Wild, eh? 10324 You act so interested,"said Harry Campbell dryly,"that maybe you''d like to have us call him out again so''s you can talk to him?"
10324You been letting me waste all this time on you?
10324You blamed idiot, are you goin''to stand there all day? 10324 You could n''t wait for the law to hang me, eh?"
10324You damned lummox,he said,"what d''ye mean by tripping me?"
10324You done it?
10324You done that? 10324 You dunno, eh?"
10324You expect me to believe talk like that? 10324 You going to fight him bare hands agin''a gun?"
10324You hear me talk?
10324You just try, will you, Bull?
10324You know him, then?
10324You mean by that?
10324You mean why he''s in jail? 10324 You never seen him?"
10324You see?
10324You think so? 10324 You think you could handle these big timbers all day?"
10324You walked?
10324You want me to take off my guns? 10324 You want to feed him these now?"
10324You''d take a chance with Hal Dunbar?
10324You''re back, then, and you got Diablo?
10324You''re on for the bet?
10324You?
10324A curse, then,"Why do n''t you throw the big hulk over?"
10324A pet?"
10324Ai n''t no good for nothing, is it?"
10324Ai n''t that clear?
10324Am I right?"
10324And how would he ever be able to pay him back?
10324And suppose he were to wake up?
10324And suppose he, Bull, were to accomplish this great feat and return to the shack?
10324And who d''you think that gent was?
10324And who might you be, stranger?"
10324And-- is what the boys are saying right?"
10324Are you hurt?"
10324Are you joshin''me, Jessie?
10324Are you ready?"
10324Besides, who in thunder are you?
10324But had they not lifted together at the stump and failed to do the thing which he had done single- handed?
10324But how to go to work?
10324But if it was n''t the fight that made you feel your oats, was it breaking Diablo?"
10324But suppose he added his evidence and allowed the law to take its course with Pete Reeve?
10324But suppose you get him to come and work on your place?
10324But suppose you get the girl and Hunter planted?
10324But was the cliff high enough?
10324But who got the inside on the sheriff?"
10324But will you do it?"
10324But work?
10324But would it wash over the top?
10324But you did n''t think you could slip me, did you?
10324But, say, what you clearing this here land for?
10324But-- what''s this, Bull?
10324Can he hear if I talk?"
10324Could this be Bull Hunter speaking?
10324D''you think you can do the same?"
10324Did he drop anybody before they got him?
10324Did he turn back?
10324Did the fool intend to climb into the saddle while that black devil was not blindfolded, without even a bridle?
10324Did you watch?
10324Do you get what Dad means?"
10324Do you know what he did?
10324Do you know what he''s done?
10324Do you think you could hire me?"
10324Do you?"
10324Drunk?"
10324Dunbar?"
10324Even lichens were almost out of place here, and what folly could lead a man across the shifting snows?
10324Gentle?
10324Had he known and remembered that fall and the hand that forced him to it?
10324How can I handle a beam that it takes three men to lift?"
10324How can you figure on me going out and taking yours, now?"
10324How could he convict the sheriff?
10324How could so rich and powerful a man be like others?
10324How long have you knowed him?"
10324How''s things to home?"
10324How, with his clumsy wits and his clumsy tongue, could he bring the truth to light?
10324I guess you''ve heard about Diablo?"
10324I s''pose after seeing Tod handle him, you''ll want to try to ride him right off?"
10324I wonder, could you be handy?"
10324I''d like to have him see some good results, you know?
10324I''ve lost the horse, have n''t I, and that half- wit has him?"
10324I-- just pick that stump up, will you?"
10324If it comes to a showdown-- but are you pretty good with a gun yourself, Bull?"
10324If the man did not resent being thrown off-- if that were a sort of game, as it were-- why should he, Diablo, resent having the man on his back?
10324In fact, this could not be the horse of which the hotelkeeper had told him, or perhaps he had been recently tamed and broken?
10324Is there anything I could feed him?"
10324Is this the result of all my trainin''?"
10324It would be a tremendous responsibility, this teaching of the giant, but what could be more spectacular than to have such a man as his pupil?
10324Jack Hood?
10324Just let it lean agin''that corner piece, will you, Hunter?"
10324Know where it is?"
10324Lucky, eh?"
10324Now what you got me here for?"
10324Now, curse you, what d''ye say to that?"
10324Now, knowing that, tell me, are you going to keep practicing?"
10324Now?"
10324Once released, what would the result be?
10324One man?"
10324Or would Hal Dunbar arrive before that appointed time?
10324Otherwise would he act like this, aside from being afraid of a lynching, in case you should die?
10324She murmured to Harry,"Ever try praisin''to big stupid?"
10324Shot into the wall?"
10324So you cleaned up the sheriff with a chair?"
10324Stamping through the snow to the hotel he asked the idlers around the stove,"Has any of you gents seen a man named Pete Reeve pass through this town?"
10324Suppose he were to tell the sheriff about the shooting of Uncle Bill?
10324Suppose he''s simply half- asleep?"
10324Suppose that he had fulfilled his purpose and killed Reeve?
10324Suppose that?"
10324Tell me that?"
10324That so, boys?"
10324The next time that frog croaks we go for our guns, eh?
10324Then he went back-- and you see what''s he''s doing?"
10324They never was good on managing on the Bridewell place, you see?
10324They remained so long oblivious of her presence that at length she called,"Why do n''t you dig a bigger hole, boys?"
10324Understand?
10324Understand?"
10324Want to try?"
10324Was it dropping Hood that made you buck up like this?"
10324Was she despising him and condemning him merely because he had told her the truth?
10324Was this a new and subtle form of mockery?
10324Well, what''s the suggestion?"
10324What brung you all this ways?"
10324What comes of it?
10324What d''you know about him?"
10324What do they say?"
10324What do you think?"
10324What else do you want?"
10324What for d''you think I wasted all them hours showin''you how to pull a trigger and where to shoot and how to get a gun out of the leather?"
10324What good does thinking do me?
10324What good is he?"
10324What in thunder is it all about?"
10324What leveled spear of a knight, in the pages of romance, could equal the invisible thrust of this wind?
10324What of it?"
10324What you want to do now?"
10324What''ll we do, Bull?
10324What''ll we do?"
10324What''s he ever done to be praised about?"
10324What''s wakened you, Bull?"
10324When d''you want to start work?"
10324Where would be his own reward for his long march south and all the pain of travel and the crossing of the mountains at the peril of his life?
10324Where''s Reeve?"
10324Where''s he now?"
10324Which is goin''to start?
10324While he stood, a door slammed, and he heard a girl''s mellow voice calling,"Hello, Hal, what luck?"
10324Who are you and where do you figure on letting me loose?
10324Who asked him?"
10324Who could imagine Bill shouting for help?
10324Who taught you to ride, eh?"
10324Who threw the chair?"
10324Why did he take pity on Uncle Bill Campbell and bind up the wounds he had himself made?
10324Why did the destroyer not finish his task?
10324Why would n''t he go right to the door?"
10324Why?"
10324Will you come?"
10324Will you do it-- as a great favor?"
10324Will you do that?
10324Will you?
10324Will you?
10324Would he accomplish his purpose by the time the barn was completed and Bridewell no longer had a use for him?
10324Would not Bill Campbell feel doubly repaid for the living he had furnished for his nephew?
10324Would not the law have reached for him in the same fashion and taken and crushed him?
10324Yet you''re follerin''him hotfoot?"
10324You ai n''t got a quart or so of canned milk, partner?"
10324You foller me?"
10324You follered him up, eh?"
10324You hear?
10324You hear?
10324You hear?
10324You hear?"
10324You hear?"
10324You saw that doorknob?"
10324You see?
10324You see?
10324You want me to get--""How much do you want the black hoss, chief?"
10324You want to get Hunter''s head blown off, do n''t you?"
10324Young man, d''you know who I am?"
10324_ Already!_ This Hunter ai n''t such a slow worker, eh, Jack?"
11960All right?
11960And Foy''s drifted with Cowan?
11960And Foy?
11960And how long-- if a reliable old faithful John may ask-- before you become Stella Some- One- Else?
11960And how''d we look rushin''that empty cave if it did n''t happen to be empty? 11960 And if I do n''t?"
11960And none for you, I s''pose? 11960 And suppose he is n''t there?"
11960And this man, too-- what about him?
11960And you were not in their party? 11960 Any chance of Foy slipping out afoot?"
11960Any one got the seven of hearts?
11960Are you going to lay down on me?
11960Arrested? 11960 Banked that check yet?"
11960Be you the sheriff?
11960But Foy-- where do you figure Foy''s gone?
11960But had n''t we better fix up the same history to tell? 11960 But how did you happen to be here so handy?"
11960But how did you know?
11960But the sad story of your life?
11960But where''s Chris?
11960But you believed, Stella?
11960Cards and spades? 11960 Damn you, what do you mean?"
11960Do n''t you reckon, Nueces, that Cowan brought Foy a barefooted horse? 11960 Do n''t you see, you doddering imbecile?
11960Do n''t you wish you may get it? 11960 Do you know, John Wesley, I have never been back to any place we have left once?
11960Do you know, Sheriff, I think the Major has the right idea?
11960Do you know?
11960Do you suppose he''s wise?
11960Do you understand the philosophy of an artesian well? 11960 Even when you first heard of it?"
11960Friend of yours?
11960Gentlemen, have you anything more to offer? 11960 George, dear,"said Pringle when the two were left alone,"is that right about the reward?
11960George,said John Wesley,"you see that front door?
11960George-- may I call you George? 11960 Getting on, Thompson?"
11960Going already?
11960Going down, Mitchell? 11960 Got that side money and pot straight?"
11960Have you any suggestions to make?
11960Hello, Thompson-- up already? 11960 How about it, Pringle?"
11960How can they do it?
11960How much?
11960How much?... 11960 How''s he to get away, then?"
11960How?
11960I beg your pardon, but is that not a bad dollar?
11960I done told you so, did n''t I?
11960I say, Thompson, did you see how he stuck on letting you have a whack at it?
11960I would,he replied innocently,"but I knew you''d give it back, anyhow, so what''s the use-- among friends?
11960I''m Jack- in- a- Pinch, Little Friend of the Under Dog-- see Who''s This? 11960 I''ve a right to_ call_ for my card turned up, have n''t I?"
11960If you fellows feel that way,said Foy,"how about me?
11960If, in the performance of my duty, I put a few civil questions to Miss Vorhis-- in the presence of her father, mind you-- then what?
11960In heaven''s name, why?
11960Is n''t it wonderful, John Wesley? 11960 Is that-- er-- police regulations or state law?"
11960Just right for our business, is n''t it? 11960 Made it at last, did you?
11960Maybe you''d like to bet on it?
11960Meaning-- for a little while yet?
11960Mistah-- er-- Townsend, cawn I have a few moments of quite pwivate convehsation with you?
11960Mr. Thompson, you will excuse us? 11960 Mr. Wyatt,"said Mitchell,"pardon me, but may I suggest that you call at a more favorable time?"
11960Nice little plant-- what? 11960 Not what-- happy or married?"
11960Now what''s biting you?
11960Now,he said to Mitchell,"what''ll you bet the next card is n''t the knave of hearts?"
11960Oh-- that''s it? 11960 Orders, captain?
11960Say, is that right about that reward-- twenty- five hundred?
11960Say, old man-- you have n''t turned counterfeiter, have you?
11960Say, what''s the matter with me going out and eating a few?
11960So Applegate''s not dead? 11960 So the dwivah ahsked me''Whah to?''
11960Still riding your hobby?
11960Sulky, hey? 11960 Sure it was Foy''s horse?"
11960That bumpkin? 11960 That enough?
11960That sounds like the makings of a pretty adventure, Wyatt,said Atwood, delighted,"Are you for loan, old chap?"
11960Then the Major will quit wandering round like a lost cat, wo n''t he?
11960There has been a time when you might not have fancied this particular bunch-- hey? 11960 This is all confidential, between gentlemen, you understand?"
11960Time to cash this before closing up?
11960Vorhis? 11960 Want to split the pot or save stakes with me, Judge?"
11960Well, Mr. Thompson, what is it-- fine or bail?
11960Well? 11960 Well?
11960What I want to know, Pringle, is, how the deuce you got up here so slick?
11960What did you expect me to do-- send''em a note by registered mail?
11960What do we look like now? 11960 What do you suppose that little girl will think?"
11960What do you think about the United States building a big navy, John?
11960What does he mean, then, by such monkeyshines?
11960What else? 11960 What in hell''s going on here?"
11960What will it be, sir?
11960What would we look like, watching an empty cave two or three days?
11960What you think this is-- a kindergarten?
11960What''s such a house worth?
11960What''s that?
11960What''s the lay?
11960What''s the matter with that guess?
11960What''s the matter with you, you old fool?
11960What''s your line?
11960What-- not in your whole life?
11960What? 11960 Where do you bank?"
11960Where is that counterfeit, anyhow?
11960Where''d this old geezer come from, anyway? 11960 Which way for you?"
11960Who brought the news?
11960Who said I was?
11960Who was it?
11960Who''ll be the judge?
11960Who''s going to stop me?
11960Who''s that for? 11960 Who''s that?
11960Why did n''t you bet with him, Thompson?
11960Why did n''t you follow him up?
11960Why do n''t you let my friend in on this? 11960 Why do n''t you stay out till you get something?"
11960Why not?
11960Why should n''t I stay and see it out?
11960Why should n''t they say it? 11960 Why, I paid for all the games I lost, did n''t I?"
11960Why, chicken, you''re not trying to get gay with your old Uncle Dudley, are you?
11960Why, what did you find out?
11960Will you allow my accomplice and myself to use your private room for executive session?
11960Wo n''t I though? 11960 Wo n''t you fellows_ never_ learn to play poker?"
11960Would n''t you naturally suppose,sighed Wyatt,"that people would know that no man could be as big a fool as I am, unless he did it on purpose?
11960Would you like to go in and look at it? 11960 Yes, is n''t he?"
11960You are not contemplating anything illegal, I trust?
11960You do n''t know any one in the Big Burgh, do you? 11960 You do n''t mean to tell me there''s any danger of anything like that?"
11960You know young Post is in hiding? 11960 You see, gentlemen?"
11960You see? 11960 You think I''m a fool?"
11960You think''it''s bad?
11960You''ll enjoy having people tellin''how you run away to keep from meeting Dick Marr?
11960You''re not?
11960You''re still harpin''on that, Sheriff? 11960 You_ will_ teach an old dog new tricks, will you?
11960''_"Having thus pointed out the danger, he plainly indicates the remedy:''_ Where shall I find one that will steal well?
11960*****"But why do n''t you have them arrested?"
11960--Got that?
11960All the same, maybe it''s as well I chipped in, because-- take a look at them cartridges in your gun, will you?
11960Am I going to have to kill some few of you just because you do n''t know who I am?
11960And how am I going to get to you?
11960And how did they get here so quick?
11960And if we have wars again, who but the Barelas would bear the brunt?
11960And where''s your man Hargis that stays here?
11960Any one else want any of this?"
11960Anything else?"
11960Anything you got to say?
11960Besides, do n''t you see, that would n''t hurt their feelings like this?"
11960Britt?"
11960But I thought you were still in Prescott?"
11960But perhaps you''ve been here before?"
11960But the second man, the one you had hopes of-- who should that be but me?
11960But you fan up every little bicker into a lawsuit-- don''t I know?
11960But you''re still Stella Vorhis?"
11960But, I say, Billy, you''ll have to furnish the scads for bait, in case he do n''t?
11960By the way, where do you bank?
11960Cards to you?
11960Chapter II"Cold feet?"
11960Chris?
11960Chris?"
11960Could the world pick thee three such enemies again as that fiend Douglas, that spirit Percy, and that devil Glendower?
11960Did he know where Foy was?"
11960Did you ever see such a plumb dam- fool break in your whole life?"
11960Did you look there?"
11960Did you see him sidestep that?"
11960Do n''t you see, with the law on our side all these men of substance will be with us unconditionally?
11960Do we kill''em?"
11960Do you know these people?"
11960Do you know what it makes me think of?
11960Does the Foy- boy know?"
11960Draw on this by Wednesday?
11960Ever think of that?
11960Find any sign of Foy?"
11960Fine large name I would''a''left for myself, would n''t I?"
11960For hate and revenge?
11960Foy said last night, before the killing, that he was coming up here, did n''t he?"
11960From what dim old legend has the name come down?
11960Got your story straight?"
11960Got yours, Archie?"
11960Guess you would n''t have been much scared, eh?"
11960Had any sleep?"
11960Has the world used you well?
11960Have a cigar?"
11960Have my trunk sent up, will you?
11960Have n''t you got any principle at all?
11960Have they got Foy?
11960Have you any friends in town?
11960Here in town?"
11960His hands are tied-- are you still afraid of him?
11960How dare you speak to me like that?"
11960How did you know I lied?
11960How do you know I wo n''t?
11960How do you know I''m lying?
11960How do you know he''s a murderer?
11960How do you suppose I feel?
11960How much?"
11960How''d you get away from your herder?"
11960How''d you like to go along with me, stranger?
11960How''d you like to walk around the docks?
11960How''s she making out?
11960How''s that for a lay?"
11960How?
11960I captured him alone, did n''t I?
11960I do n''t think much of this song, do you?
11960I was almost too late, was n''t I?"
11960I wonder now if they''re goin''to give me the cut direct, like Creagan did?
11960I''m going there myself?"
11960If not will you hear the question?
11960Is he up?
11960Is that all clear?"
11960Is the-- ah-- mining puhson in?"
11960It_ is_ warm, ai n''t it?"
11960Jim"--this to the silently industrious bookkeeper--"how much have we got at the Marine?"
11960Just sit down till I''m through here, will you?
11960Leave me here to tell what I have to say to an honest man and a half?
11960Let a man of small means, like myself, play the ponies, or affect shady company, and what happens?
11960Let him make all the advances, d''ye see?
11960Let me have some money, will you?
11960Let me see-- not in New York, I think-- Philadelphia-- Washington?
11960Let me see-- what did Harney call you-- Townsend, Johnson?"
11960Let''s see-- he''d want spot cash, would n''t he?"
11960Let_ you_ do it?
11960Live there?
11960Look here, Archie-- you''re not busy, are you?"
11960Maybe they''ll stay in the city though-- being police?"
11960Mr. Thompson, have I permission to share this letter with my friend?"
11960No answer being forthcoming to his query Pringle launched another:"Speaking of faces, Creagan, old sport, what''s happened to you and your nose?
11960No?
11960No?
11960None?
11960Not John Wesley Pringle?
11960Nothing wrong, I trust?"
11960Now what''ll you do or take water?"
11960Now, I put it to you, do I look like a dove?"
11960Oh, you two are not acquainted, are you?
11960Pay to J.C. Mendenhall& Co.--how much was that?"
11960Railroad?
11960Say, in case a miracle happens for you, just make a memo about the sheriff being a nuisance, will you?"
11960Say, you doddering old fool, what do you think this is-- a night school?"
11960Say-- Judge Harney got into a bad mix- up, did n''t he?
11960See that hawk screechin''around up there?
11960Seldom do myself, but sometimes-- Have a cigar?
11960Shall we freesk him?"
11960Shut up, wo n''t you?"
11960Silly, is n''t it?"
11960So Foy did come here, hey?"
11960Stubby, red- faced, spindlin'', thickset, jolly little man, ai n''t he?
11960Suppose Chris had killed me when I tried to knock him out?
11960THE END THE COME ON"_ Fair fellow, said Sir Ector, knowest thou not in this country any adventures that be here nigh hand?
11960Take luncheon with me?
11960Tell me honestly, did you ever l-- like anyone, this way?"
11960That you, Mr. Lisner?
11960That you, Nueces?
11960That''s your Argentine freights, I suppose?
11960The voice is the voice of Pringle, but how about the face?
11960Then to the Vorhis place?"
11960Then, paper- hanging, mantels, plumbing and all that-- Make it even twelve- fifty?"
11960There''s the papers-- Ready, Miss Stanley?"
11960There''s where he started for, you say?"
11960This man has risked his life fifty times for me-- and what did I think of him?"
11960Thompson?"
11960Walk or ride?
11960Was they vexed at you, son?"
11960Was this to- day or yesterday-- at the hotel?"
11960Well, pardner?"
11960Well, what next?"
11960Were you dead?
11960What are you waiting for, Thompson?
11960What do you think I am-- a damn fool?"
11960What do you think I am?"
11960What does Will say?
11960What fair wind blows you here?"
11960What is it?
11960What was it Napoleon said?
11960What was the big idea?
11960What''s that big one coming in?"
11960What''s the good of keeping her in suspense?
11960What''s the good of more?
11960What''s the trouble?"
11960What''s your proposition?
11960What----_have_ you got, anyway?"
11960What?
11960When?
11960Where do you live?
11960Where have you been?
11960Where?
11960Who''re you crowdin''?"
11960Who''s the fourth?"
11960Who, me?
11960Why did n''t you stay with him?
11960Why did n''t you stay, John Wesley?"
11960Why did n''t you tell us, if you wanted in on the reward?"
11960Why did n''t you write?
11960Why do n''t you all go in now?
11960Why do n''t you look for him with the Bar Cross round- up?
11960Why do n''t you say you''re glad to see me-- after five years?"
11960Why do n''t you tell your associates?
11960Why do n''t you try that plan about Foy-- thinking?"
11960Why not improve the shining hour?
11960Why, this:''_ Art thou not horribly afeared?...
11960Why?
11960Why?
11960Why?
11960Why?"
11960Will he do?"
11960Will you gentlemen assist?"
11960Will you walk into my parlor?"
11960Would I look any more idiotic, do you think, if I should suck my cane?
11960Wyatt-- Anson Walworth Wyatt?"
11960Yes?
11960Yes?
11960You boys all know that Stella''s engaged to me, do n''t you?
11960You doddering idiots, I''d shoot your heads off for two bits I Try to rob a countryman, will you?
11960You got forty- fives?"
11960You have an account here, I believe?"
11960You heard this Chris- gentleman give his reasons for wanting peace?
11960You hid in the water pen?"
11960You know the place, Stella?"
11960You lukeing for troubles, maybe?
11960You say so, mighty positive-- but what are your reasons?
11960You see, Breslin?
11960You tried just that in ninety- six, did n''t you?
11960You were going to tell me about another boy-- the onliest little boy?"
11960You''ll walk down to the station with me?"
11960You''re horseback, of course?
11960You?"
11960_ Sabe_?"
11960he said confidentially--"do you know, I was actually glad to see that hand when I first picked it up?"
16871A rancho? 16871 About how high?"
16871Ai n''t it a shame she ai n''t equipped with a self- starter?
16871All ready?
16871And give him a chance to steal your aeroplane? 16871 And let them know where I am?
16871And you went to see his brother?
16871Are you all ready, Johnny?
16871Been hunting horses with a flying machine, eh? 16871 Bill, what''s your idea about this horse- stealing, anyway?
16871Bland? 16871 Blind side?"
16871Dad? 16871 Did Bland Halliday happen along and have a wreck, and sell you the pieces?
16871Did you make it up outa yore own head, Johnny?
16871Did you?
16871Do you remember my telling you not to let a greaser on the Rolling R range if you could help it?
16871Feed holding out all right in the pasture?
16871For cat''s sake, is this the only way of getting to your camp?
16871For gracious sake, what does that boy want with five-- ten-- with_ thirty_ gallons of gas? 16871 Gone where?
16871Had your dinner?
16871He''s working for his passage-- er--"Er-- yes?
16871Hello-- what''s all that racket I heard as I was getting up?
16871High enough so the hum wo n''t be noticed on the ground? 16871 Him?"
16871How about the horses down at Sinkhole? 16871 How did you get it-- if I may ask?"
16871How do you know?
16871How far will she glide?
16871How many horses did your dad figure had been stolen? 16871 How many?"
16871How''s that, Skyrider? 16871 How''s that-- hunh?
16871Huh? 16871 Hunh?
16871Hunh? 16871 I always told you fellers--""Does anybody know where Mary V went?"
16871If you''re going to find out anyway, what''s the use of me telling yuh?
16871Is that Bland Halliday with you yet?
16871Juh get a picture?
16871Just who or what did you see, through your field glasses, when you looked from the top of Snake Ridge?
16871Mary V Selmer? 16871 Mary V, who was that man?
16871Mary V? 16871 Me scared?
16871Me? 16871 Me?
16871Me? 16871 Me?
16871Me? 16871 Mr. Halliday, wo n''t you_ please_ start the motor?"
16871No, is it?
16871No? 16871 Not air- line?"
16871Not over a little josh? 16871 Of all--""Conceit?
16871Of course you want me to tell dad you have a-- a guest at Sinkhole camp?
16871Oh, Skyrider, wo n''t you take me along too? 16871 Oh, ai n''t it?
16871Oh, would you? 16871 Oh, you do?"
16871Oh,_ were n''t_ I?
16871Poets and song birds on the pay roll, eh? 16871 Promised?
16871Rather be by yourself, would you? 16871 Ride a_ horse?
16871Say, bo, do we have to ride down in there?
16871Say, if it''s any of my business, how much did Abe Smith tax yuh for that linen?
16871Say, where do you get that idea-- him flyin''after one lesson? 16871 Say, where do you get that stuff?"
16871Shall-- would you like a drink, or-- or something?
16871She did n''t go foolin''off with Tex, did she?
16871So it was you I''ve been trailing, was it? 16871 Tex?
16871That? 16871 That?
16871Till you-- what?
16871Too much song- bird stuff?
16871Unless Venus has a filling station, you''ll need more gas than this, wo n''t you, for the round trip? 16871 Well, but dad, he was looking at it, and you were with him, and did n''t he say_ anything_, for gracious sake?"
16871Well, but dad, what do you_ suppose_ he''s going to do? 16871 Well, but what''s he going to do with it, dad?"
16871Well, how many will the pasture feed, do yuh think? 16871 Well, the Jane changed her mind, did she?"
16871Well, what do you know?
16871Well, where do men ride on it? 16871 Well, you''ve nothing else to do now, so listen to this meadow lark, will you?
16871Well? 16871 Wha''s that pic''shur?
16871What are we going to do, Johnny? 16871 What are you going to do?"
16871What is that fellow doing here? 16871 What is that to you, may I ask?"
16871What is the other to you, may I ask?
16871What the horn- toad has Tex been doin''?
16871What yo''all been doing to Jake, gantin''him up like that, Bill?
16871What yo''all think I''m trying to put over? 16871 What you got?"
16871What you mean, one fell across the line? 16871 What you pay me?"
16871What you telling me about it for? 16871 What you want of the ranch?"
16871What''s become of Bland?
16871What''s that about some geeser riding Jake las''night?
16871What''s the big idea? 16871 What''s the good of wishin''?"
16871What''s the matter with that, Skyrider? 16871 What''s the riding breeches and boots for?
16871Where did that aeroplane come from? 16871 Where the dickens have you been?
16871Where''d you get the idea we could pack a fifty- gallon drum on horseback?
16871Where''d you git the idea of packing gas in a tin cup to run an airplane on?
16871Where''s Mary V?
16871Where''s the lantern? 16871 Which way did she go?
16871Who was it answered your''phone? 16871 Why did n''t you get outa the way, then?
16871Why did n''t you practice on the greasers?
16871Why do n''t you and Tomaso go after it and bring it here? 16871 Why do n''t yuh sing the words that''s in your mind?
16871Why do you buy your gas that way?
16871Why not? 16871 Why, I dunno--""Was it from going without your coat when we were riding last time?"
16871Why, for gracious sake? 16871 Why, why should n''t I know about BL?"
16871Wonder where he got it?
16871Yeh? 16871 Yeh?"
16871Yes, is n''t he?
16871Yo''all ai n''t quittin''?
16871Yore dad buy Jake off''n Bill for yo''all to ride?
16871You are n''t making a transcontinental, are you?
16871You say they went through the fence on the east line?
16871You say-- about half of the horses on that range have been stolen? 16871 You there yet?"
16871You went after the flying machine when? 16871 You write that?"
16871You''re not up on sky- riding, are you, Mary V? 16871 You''re sure she went home?"
16871You''re trying to play smart Aleck, too, are yuh?
16871_ What_ have you there?
16871A ride''ll limber you up--""Ride?
16871A rifle?
16871After all, what did she care where they floated-- Venus and Johnny Jewel?
16871Afterwards?
16871Ai n''t that purty fair po''try?"
16871Am I fired, or what?"
16871And after awhile the doctor came out and looked at her and smiled a little, and said,"Well, have we captured any more bandits?
16871And ca n''t I fool you with my voice?
16871And ca n''t I have a cold and get over it if I want to?
16871And he could claim that he found it himself, could n''t he?"
16871And how do you figure young Jewel not being here?
16871And how''s the propeller?
16871And if this country should get let in for a fight, would n''t they need flyers?
16871And so this girl, Inez, overhears them plotting--""Where''s your dad?"
16871And the range?
16871And then she would confront him with the proof, and then where would he be?
16871And then what?
16871And what about your oil and gas?
16871And what are you up to, Johnny Jewel?
16871And what in the blinkety blink did any darn fool want to live in such a country for, anyway?
16871And what, in heaven''s name, was he doing it for?
16871And when you looked at it that way, how had he got inside the line?
16871And who do you think was the real leader of that gang, Johnny?
16871And why did somebody answer your telephone for you, and pretend he had a cold so dad would n''t know he was a stranger?
16871And would he like to borrow a late magazine she had in the house, that had an article about the growth of the"game"?
16871And you could n''t_ prove_ it was your aeroplane afterwards, could you?
16871Anything in it?"
16871Are they broken to aeroplane herding, or have they all stampeded like these up here?"
16871Bland had done it, half a dozen times-- so why not Johnny?
16871Boss''ll fire me if I do n''t make--""For cat''s sake, what do I care about the boss?
16871But what she wants?
16871But who was it''phoned for you?
16871But you hustle more gas down here, see?
16871But, of course--""Say, where you going, f''r cat''s sake?"
16871CHAPTER NINE A MIDNIGHT RIDE"Mary V, what are you doing in the kitchen?
16871Cold''s better, ay?"
16871Could n''t that girl ever let up on a fellow?
16871D''you happen to miss anybody las''night, Bud?"
16871D''yuh think I''ll swallow that?"
16871Did he really intend to learn"the game"?
16871Did n''t you ever see a flying machine?"
16871Did she think, for gracious sake, that Mary V was going to murder Johnny?
16871Did you get a picture of that landing I made?
16871Did you notice any signs of any one being there while you were gone?"
16871Did you really think I was that nasty Mary V Selmer calling you up?"
16871Director of the orchestra, or umpire?"
16871Do some thinking along those lines, will you?
16871Do you get that?"
16871Do you know what wight means, Miss Selmer?"
16871Do you know?"
16871Do you mind letting--""That what I heard them yawping here in the corral?"
16871Do you realize that you rode_ seventy- five miles_, the way you came?
16871Do you suppose--?"
16871Do you think it''s_ funny_?"
16871Do you think, for gracious sake, I''ve been riding around all over the country with my eyes shut?
16871Do you_ want_ me to go without anything to eat?"
16871Does she show any crack anywhere?
16871Dual dep control, or have you monkeyed with it and--?"
16871Er-- ah-- how are yuh this evenin''?"
16871Er--_where_ was he going?
16871Go on home to Sinkhole, why do n''t you?
16871Gone to roost for the night?"
16871Got a gun?
16871Got pencil and paper?
16871Had he ever been up in a flying machine?
16871Have n''t we-- er-- made you_ comfortable_?"
16871Have you counted them?"
16871He wanted a drink, did he?
16871He was seeing-- what wonderful things was Johnny not seeing?
16871He went off again into meditation so deep that it quite excluded Mary V."Yo''all going to help round up?"
16871Hey, hold your hand over his mouth, why do n''t yuh, Aleck?
16871Hey?
16871Honest--""And get snake- bit?"
16871Honest?"
16871How did you catch, it?"
16871How does that suit?"
16871How far is it to that tank station-- or some other that''s closer?"
16871How far is it, anyway?
16871How far is it, anyway?
16871How is the photographer going to develop and print it without seeing it?"
16871How''s everything?"
16871I ca n''t take pictures at daybreak, can I?
16871I did?
16871I mean, where did you get it?
16871I''m going to ride fence to- morrow-- That so?
16871I-- did Bill tell you the latest, Johnny?
16871If a girl happens to bring in two perfectly bandittish outlaws that imagine they are kidnaping her, why must she be lectured, pray tell?
16871If she had not proved her loyalty and her friendship by this time, what did a person want her to do, for gracious sake?
16871If they were going to steal horses, why did n''t they run off a whole herd and be done with it?"
16871Is it true, Johnny, that a lot of horses have been stolen?"
16871It happens that I have not missed calling you every night; did the man have a cold?"
16871It-- well, it has been in government service before--""You an army flier?
16871Jewel?"
16871Johnny can take me, if anybody--""Who-- him?"
16871Johnny would say that everything was all right, and had the stage driver made a mistake and left any of his mail at the ranch?
16871Jus''minute-- it''s like wreck on ocean, that is left and somebody brings it--""Salvage?"
16871Just to give you a ride?
16871Kain''t I make up po''try if I want to?"
16871Know anything about it, Johnny?"
16871Listen here, boy, if yo''all wants to git away from the ranch right now, why do n''t yo''all speak for to stay at Sinkhole camp?
16871May I ask if you expected Miss Selmer to call you up?"
16871Maybe you say she''s no good-- what I''m going to do?
16871Me?_"the spine of the expert stiffened with horror, so that he sat up straight.
16871Meaningless to Johnny-- but how about Tex?
16871Not drag it back for notheeng?
16871Now what I''d admire to know is, who was the rider, an''where was he goin''to?
16871Now, when did you first miss them?"
16871Of an airplane?
16871Of course, it did not really matter-- but why was Johnny so glum with her?
16871Of what use would it be to protest that he was sorry?
16871On a horse?
16871On the square, did you ever get any farther away from the ground than an elevator could take you?"
16871On the square-- where''s that gas at?
16871On which wing?"
16871Or did n''t he say?"
16871Or did you mean that it should be read''wawry,''''sorry''?"
16871Or do I look nearsighted, or_ what_?
16871Or do you want to fly lower?"
16871Or was it accidental?
16871Or was it regret?
16871Or-- isn''t it to be a round trip?"
16871Over two weeks ago, eh?
16871Perhaps now you pay twenty- fi''dollar?"
16871Poor simps, what more could you expect?
16871Really truly?
16871See?
16871Selmer?"
16871Selmer?"
16871She''s awful hot to- day-- yes?"
16871Skyrider was one fine boy-- and did anybody know where his folks lived?
16871Skyrider, Skyrider, what saw you there?
16871So it was Skyrider riding off to call on Venus, was it?
16871So why concern himself over their senseless patter?
16871So--""Say, bo, you do n''t, f''r cat''s sake, think_ I_ stole your damn horses?
16871That you, Miss Selmer?
16871That''s right way to fix him-- yes?"
16871That-- whatever made Johnny Jewel take up with_ him_, for gracious sake?
16871The flyin''machine?
16871The front seat?
16871Then what''n hell you doing here?
16871There were things he said--""Huh?
16871They have?"
16871Think you were going out on the street car?"
16871Tomaso''s brother evidently had not thought of that; and why put the idea into his head?
16871Toward home?"
16871Used as a noun-- you know what a noun is, do n''t you?
16871Want to sell''em?"
16871Well, what are you grinning about?
16871Well, what did you expect?
16871What are you_ doing_?"
16871What capacity do I find you in, Curley?
16871What did a little thing like a stampede amount to, in the face of what Sudden had yet to hear?
16871What did he care about Sinkhole Camp?
16871What did he really and truly intend to do with his aeroplane, after he had learned to fly?
16871What do you suppose I laid awake all night for, piecing things that I know together, if you''re not going to pay attention?
16871What do you think I brought yuh down here for?
16871What do you want of dad all at once?
16871What good is civilization to you after you''re all smashed to pieces?
16871What had touched Tex off so suddenly when Johnny had flung out that meaningless taunt?
16871What holds up the back?"
16871What if I had been somebody else-- a greaser, maybe?"
16871What if they tried to steal it, or something?
16871What if you got one?
16871What if--?
16871What is he doing here?
16871What is that contraption, for gracious sake?"
16871What kind of a plane?
16871What makes it go?"
16871What more new meanness you got on your mind?
16871What on,--back of the wheels?
16871What shall I do to- morrow?
16871What things?
16871What was he going to do?
16871What was the use?
16871What would you have done if you had n''t run across him at all?
16871What yo''all aimin''at?
16871What yo''all mean by that statement?"
16871What you call that thing?"
16871What you pay me?"
16871What you say?
16871What yuh done to''i m that he''s sendin''yuh off down to Sinkhole?
16871What''s bitin''yuh, Johnny?"
16871What''s it_ to_ yuh?"
16871What''s the matter with that?
16871What''s the use of Bill going off to Sinkhole unless he listens to me first?
16871What_ makes_ you so rude when I''m telling you the most thrill--""When''s he coming back?"
16871Where did he come from?"
16871Where have you got it, Johnny?
16871Where''s the Great Bear at that yo''all was goin''to lead home, Skyrider?"
16871Where''s there a flying machine setting like a hawk?"
16871Where-- or how-- could he learn?
16871Which was all very well-- but what did Mary V care about the damage done to those Mexicans?
16871Which way did Mary V go?
16871Which way did she go?
16871Who answered the telephone while you were gone?
16871Who?
16871Why do n''t you_ try_ to sing your own ideas of poetry?
16871Why do n''t yuh send to the Pacific Supply Company?
16871Why not let papa''s hired man take care of himself?"
16871Why should she trouble to sew the lining in a coat sleeve for a fellow who pined for a silly flirtation with Venus?
16871Why would n''t he talk, or at least quarrel the way he used to do?
16871Why, for cat''s sake?"
16871Why, for gracious sake, must everybody on this ranch be so blind and stupid?"
16871Why?
16871Why?"
16871Why?"
16871Why_ must_ you be so perfectly intolerable?
16871Witless wight''s all right, ai n''t it?
16871Would it run off in two days, perhaps?
16871Would she dare--?
16871Would you have tried to fly?"
16871Would you think, just to look along this ledge, Mary V, that a real military tractor was cached away in it?
16871You better tell me that, because if I were to just_ hint_ to dad--""What would you hint?
16871You can handle one or two all right, ca n''t yuh?"
16871You can ride that far, ca n''t you?"
16871You can take me; could n''t you, now, honest?"
16871You do n''t mean-- say what''n thunder_ do_ yuh mean?
16871You do n''t tell my brother?"
16871You do?
16871You got tacks and hammer, and varnish and brushes?
16871You got that?"
16871You just--""And what did you find at Sinkhole?"
16871You mean that little red- headed ranch girl from Arizona?
16871You promise?"
16871You saw me coming, did n''t you?"
16871You surely did n''t think, Mary V, that I''d be satisfied to bog down in a job that just barely pays living wages?
16871You think I''m such a mark as that?
16871You were?
16871You wooden image, you, why do n''t you_ say_ something?"
16871You''re going to quit anyway, ai n''t you, soon as we''re ready to fly?"
16871You_ know_ I can ride him, and you''re so short- handed, and I can watch Tex--""Go saddle him up for her, Bill, will you?
16871Yuh snake- bit, or what?"
16871_ Have_ you got an aeroplane?
16871_ What_ are you doing here?"
16871_ Who_ was down there pretending to be Johnny Jewel?
16871where''s the fuselage at?"
19318''In the meantime?''
19318And you said you were on your way to kill him,said Betty, adding with a chuckle:"What made you change your mind?"
19318Anything special you called up about?
19318Are n''t you a little bit afraid to go in there?
19318Are you going out? 19318 Are you going to tell me what''s on your mind, Betty Nelson?"
19318Are you sure we have n''t passed the cabin, Betty?
19318Are you telling me that you, alone and unprotected, managed to inveigle this murderer into confessing his crime to you? 19318 Betty,"he said, swinging round toward her,"you are n''t letting this thing get on your nerves, are you?"
19318Bring out the sorrel and Nigger, will you, Jake?
19318But how could one conceal such a thing?
19318But suppose you were right, Betty?
19318But what are you going to do in the meantime-- while you are waiting for a chance to show them up?
19318But where,interrupted Mollie, who had been waiting with more or less patience for Betty to come to the point,"do we come in, in all this?
19318But why does he want to sell it, Betty?
19318But would n''t there be noise?
19318But you think there is a good possibility of there being gold on the ranch?
19318But, Allen,Betty asked anxiously,"how do you expect to find out about these men?
19318Ca n''t somebody think of the name of the violinist that played at the benefit?
19318Ca n''t you come over to the ranch for a little while?
19318Ca n''t you see Betty is really in earnest?
19318Can we have all we find, Betty?
19318Come on, girls, are you with us?
19318Come on, girls, who''s with me?
19318Daddy,she cried,"do you really mean it?
19318Did n''t you see that we almost ran over that dog?
19318Do n''t those beds look heavenly?
19318Do n''t you know?
19318Do n''t you remember that concert we gave with some of the great artists?
19318Do n''t you suppose he has ever done this sort of thing before?
19318Do n''t you suppose we can go back and get it?
19318Do n''t you think we had better go back, girls? 19318 Do n''t you want any supper?"
19318Do you mean to tell me that you were really caught in that cave with your horses and nothing to dig your way out with but your hands?
19318Do you represent the law in this place?
19318Do you think I like riding the side of a wall? 19318 Do you think you''re it?"
19318Does n''t it look funny and tiny?
19318Does your dad really want to sell the ranch? 19318 Goodness, how do you get that way, Betty?"
19318Has this-- er-- hermit, as you call him----Betty interrogated eagerly,"has he long curly hair and is he tall----""With stooped shoulders?"
19318Honest- to- goodness, wild and woolly?
19318How about Allen?
19318How about the weather?
19318How are you goin''to get hold of this ranch? 19318 How can you know that?"
19318How did you know I always wanted a horse just like this?
19318How does that look to you, Gracie? 19318 How feels the millionairess this morning?"
19318How would you like a summer_ in the saddle_?
19318How''s it goin'', Dan?
19318How''s my old friend Levine this morning?
19318How?
19318I say, what''s the row?
19318I''d like to believe you were right----"But you ca n''t?
19318In the saddle?
19318Is Mrs. Nelson at home?
19318Is a''pack''of horses right?
19318Is it really certain that we''ll have this chance?
19318Is n''t that a cactus over there? 19318 Is n''t the country beautiful, Allen?"
19318Is somebody giving away steeds for the asking? 19318 Is that what you wish me to consider you-- a friend?"
19318It''s a long chance and it may not work at all but-- are you game to try it?
19318Just how do you expect to solve this mystery?
19318Just what is your great idea, Mollie?
19318Lay off me, do you hear?
19318Money?
19318Mother, did that man say anything to make you feel bad?
19318Mrs. Nelson, ma''am?
19318My, is n''t she complimentary?
19318Now you''ve got us, Betty, what are you going to do with us?
19318Oh, are n''t the boys coming?
19318Oh, are you still talking about that silly old ranch?
19318Oh, that sounds good,cried Mollie, adding eagerly:"Tell me, Betty, shall we be able to choose any horse we want for our own particular mount?"
19318Oh, what would we care?
19318Or does he insist on seeing you alone?
19318Pack?
19318Pretty nice set of girls?
19318Real horses?
19318See that water, Grace Ford?
19318Shut up, ca n''t you?
19318Sounds easy, do n''t it? 19318 Still there, Betty?
19318Suppose he is n''t at home?
19318Suppose our poor musician is torturing himself by thinking he has committed a crime that he has n''t? 19318 That horse will throw him----""Keep quiet, ca n''t you, Amy?"
19318That you, Gracie?
19318That''s what we are here for, is n''t it? 19318 The girls are here and-- what''s that?
19318Then it is settled that we are to tell Allen, is it?
19318Then she does n''t want to sell the ranch?
19318Then what would you advise us to do?
19318Then you did n''t like him either?
19318Then you think he has some secret motive in getting hold of the ranch?
19318Then you will help us to help him?
19318They are most as bad as the Hermit of Gold Run, are n''t they, Dad?
19318They can put you in jail for that sort of thing, ca n''t they?
19318Want to go for a ride or something?
19318Was he as bad as Mrs. Nelson''s description makes him out to be?
19318Was n''t it odd-- Meggy''s speaking of our friend the musician and calling him the Hermit of Gold Run?
19318Well, have you finished reading yours already?
19318Well, what of it?
19318Well, what''s the use of standing here?
19318Well,Mrs. Nelson said, with more than a hint of eagerness in her voice,"what did you think of our loudly- dressed friend, Allen?"
19318Well,he said, the emotion within him making his voice sound stern and forbidding,"what is it you wish?
19318Well,said Betty finally,"are you coming, or are you not?"
19318Wh- what do you mean?
19318What about me?
19318What about my gun?
19318What did he say?
19318What do you make of this, girls? 19318 What do you mean--''real adventure?''"
19318What do you mean?
19318What is it you would like me to do?
19318What is it, Betty, what is it?
19318What is this? 19318 What shall I do to make up, Mollie?
19318What thing?
19318What will you have?
19318What you aim to do with this one, Dad?
19318What''s the use of leaving all this gold finding to Mr. Peter Levine?
19318What, with a whole summer full of blessed idleness before you?
19318When is Allen coming, Betty?
19318When will you be around?
19318Where are you going?
19318Where are you, Betty?
19318Where did you get them, Allen?
19318Whither away so early?
19318Who are you?
19318Who cares for popularity?
19318Who cares?
19318Who is coming in here with me?
19318Who said it was a surprise?
19318Who would ever think there was gold in the bottom of that?
19318Who would n''t be-- with all this?
19318Why all the noise?
19318Why ca n''t we go now? 19318 Why do n''t you say it?
19318Why not write to Paul Loup''s manager in New York and ask him for particulars?
19318Why?
19318Will you go up to the house with me?
19318Will you let us all go to meet him, Betty dear?
19318Will you promise not to breathe a word of it if I tell you a big secret?
19318Would n''t this be a good place to eat?
19318Yes?
19318You and I are going to be great little pals, are n''t we? 19318 You are sure you did not?"
19318You are with me, anyway, are n''t you, Betty?
19318You did n''t let on you wuz the one that wanted the place?
19318You did?
19318You do n''t suppose they import stuffed ones, do you?
19318You say you did not kill your brother?
19318You see it, girls?
19318You see?
19318You think he''s a sharper then?
19318You thinkin''of doin''a little prospectin''on your own hook, Son?
19318You was the ones this old boy was after, eh? 19318 You wuz just the lawyer, and so nowise interested except jest in the fee?"
19318_ Vous êtes Paul Loup, n''est- ce pas, monsieur?_she said in a clear voice, gazing up at him fearlessly.
19318A jazz dance or something?
19318And if anything happened to him, what would all the gold in the world be worth?
19318And then he added quickly:"Have you been spying on us?"
19318And then-- and then----"Do n''t you think we''d better stop and try to quiet the horses?"
19318Anyway,"she added, reasonably:"who is there to know that we went to Paul Loup''s cabin the other day?
19318Are they still coming?"
19318As for the girl, his daughter, Meggy----"Are you sure Dan Higgins has n''t any chance of striking gold?"
19318At Walnut Street?
19318Betty impatiently cut short Amy''s discouraged"How?"
19318Betty was all eagerness now,"do you really mean it?"
19318Betty, who could never bear to see anything hurt, shouted to Andy Rawlinson as man and beast came abreast of her:"Is n''t that enough?"
19318But what do I get out of it, ef I pull this deal off, eh?"
19318But would n''t you like anything else?
19318CHAPTER II GREAT HOPES"But where are we to do all this?"
19318Can you not see?
19318Did you tell the man in the check suit that?"
19318Did you-- have you seen the papers since-- since you ran away?"
19318Do n''t you know it is catching?"
19318Do n''t you know we''ve got to get there quickly?"
19318Do n''t you think we had better go?"
19318Do you know him?"
19318Do you take me?"
19318Do you?"
19318Goodness, what are you having over at your house?
19318He seemed so strangely eager to make a deal with me----""Yes?"
19318Hold your hand or something?"
19318How could you be so naughty?"
19318How does that idea strike you?"
19318How''s everything?"
19318I do n''t like his looks, and if you do n''t want to see him I can tell him you are n''t at home----""Heavens, Betty, is he as bad as all that?"
19318I suppose you intend to show them up?"
19318I''m not sure he would n''t think we were making ourselves-- oh, what do you call it----""Accessories after the fact?"
19318If any one should''phone while you are here, will you tell them that I sha n''t be back till late afternoon?"
19318If you left me I might attempt to escape-- so you will think, Mademoiselle?"
19318Is he-- is he really sick?"
19318Is it good news?"
19318Is n''t your Auntie Grace here with you?"
19318Is that you, Mollie Billette?
19318Is there anything else you would like to know about me?"
19318Is there really something in the wind?"
19318Mollie, have you gone quite mad?"
19318Mother,"she cried, turning wide- eyed to the latter,"do all those''anymiles''really belong to you?"
19318Now will you please tell me how that helps us to find out anything about the hermit?"
19318Or is your mother likely to win out?"
19318Shall I tell these friends of ours what Andy Rawlinson and I happened to hear the other night, beneath these very trees?
19318So what do you say if we go up to the house and have a little refreshment?"
19318Suppose Mrs. Nelson should yield to her husband''s arguments and resolve to sell the ranch after all?
19318That sounds rather Irish, does n''t it?"
19318That they are sure there is gold here?"
19318Then after a little pause, she added shyly:"You really think a great deal of-- of Allen''s ability, do n''t you, Mother?"
19318Then he suddenly added:"By the way, do you happen to know a man around here-- one of those ornery lawyers-- by the name of Peter Levine?"
19318There, how''s that for a brilliant idea?"
19318This man----""Yes?"
19318True to life?"
19318We can all go to Gold Run-- you and mother and the girls?
19318We''re saved, do you hear?
19318Were you?"
19318What could you possibly do about it?"
19318What does that sound like, girls?"
19318What is the great news, Betty?"
19318What was it he said about being''ghost- ridden?''"
19318What''s that?
19318What''s the matter with you?"
19318When is he coming out to Gold Run, Betty?"
19318Where do we come in?
19318Where to go?
19318Where to turn for shelter from the driving rain and moaning wind?
19318Who are you?
19318Why does n''t Frank come for us in his big car?"
19318Why, Levine, where are you going?"
19318Why, how would you expect to get pretty furs when you wanted them if those things did n''t exist?
19318Wo n''t you please hurry?"
19318You''ve been home all morning twiddling your thumbs and wondering what to do with yourself?
19318cried Betty, springing to her feet, then turned to her father pleadingly:"You wo n''t mind if we go down to meet them, will you, Dad?"
19318repeated Grace wonderingly, but Mollie broke in with a quick:"Betty, do you mean on horseback?"
19318she cried, adding, with what seemed to Betty ridiculous panic:"Oh, what shall I do, what shall I do?"
19318what are you?
19318what do you want of me?"
19318what''s the meaning of this?"
16976A guard?
16976A what?
16976Ai n''t you afraid to die?
16976Ai n''t you found your mares?
16976Ai n''t you goin''to join us in this here repast?
16976Alone?
16976An''what---- Did you give him the gun?
16976An''why ai n''t he onsaddled those horses, an''built a fire? 16976 And some people never do learn?"
16976Another thunder storm and a deluge of rain?
16976Anything I can do?
16976Are n''t you rather unconventional in your tastes----?
16976Are n''t your nerves ever shaken? 16976 Are you aimin''to drive twenty head of horses off their own range single handed?"
16976Be''n down to the wreck?
16976Beats the devil, how things gets spread around, do n''t it? 16976 Breakfast about ready?"
16976But how''d you figger to fix it?
16976But my bag?
16976But the clothes? 16976 But where do I begin?"
16976But where was his guns?
16976But why go off the beaten track where everything is arranged for your convenience? 16976 But, how will we get water?"
16976But, how''d we git away with him? 16976 But, my dear Alice, what would you have me do?
16976But,said Endicott,"wo n''t that get the boys all into serious trouble for aiding and abetting a prisoner to escape?

16976Did you get that ticket, Bat?
16976Did you have a good time? 16976 Did you say they was headin''this way?"
16976Do n''t you know no better than to try to climb onto a horse on the right- hand side? 16976 Do n''t you know the lone tree''s dead?
16976Do n''t you love it?
16976Do yeh know what chloral is?
16976Do you know why he did n''t shoot that disgusting Tex when he insulted him?
16976Do you mean you''ve got the regular habit of not drinkin'', or is it only a temporary lapse of duty?
16976Does Purdy know I''m wise to his dope game?
16976Eh?

16976How far is the water- hole?
16976How long you t''ink dat tak''you git well? 16976 How much did Long Bill Kearney soak you for the loan of his saddle- horses?"
16976How the hell do I know what he''s got?
16976How''d you happen to come in there so handy just at the right time?
16976How''m I goin''to git my boat back?
16976How''n hell did he know we fixed his licker?
16976How''s the swimmin''?
16976I do n''t set in no game with you, see? 16976 I shall be very glad to go,"she said;"will you call for me at the car?"
16976I wonder if he''s the same one we saw before-- the one who rode away so fast?
16976I''m wonder how mooch more beeg lie you got for tell, eh?
16976If it is just the same to you,the pilgrim asked, in a voice that held firm,"will you leave that off?"
16976If the sixteen win, what''s the fifty bucks for? 16976 Is n''t it wonderful?"
16976Is n''t it wonderful?
16976Is she here-- anywhere around? 16976 Is she kiddin''me?"
16976Just as easy to switch cinches as it is drinks, ai n''t it, Bat?

16976Oh, a wreck?
16976Oh, he did, did he? 16976 Oh, how can I ever thank you?"
16976Oh, sure, he could, but he would n''t, onless-- you got your camp near here?
16976Oh, that''s all, is it? 16976 Oh, why did n''t you tell me what a_ beast_ he was?
16976Oh, you do, do you? 16976 Ought n''t I have a mirror?"
16976Pickin''posies?
16976Say,he asked, presently,"do you know if they''re fordin''at Cow Island this year?"
16976Say,he drawled, when he had lighted it with a twig from the fire,"what the hell did you whallop me in the jaw for?
16976Shall we take him to Lone Tree Coulee?
16976Since when you be''n runnin''this outfit?
16976So I am to be lynched, am I?
16976So Purdy ai n''t dead,he muttered,"or was that damned fool lyin''?
16976That Purdy is not dead? 16976 That way, it would n''t cost you nothin''would it, Johnson?
16976Them lamps of yourn was turned up too high, was n''t they?
16976Then there is-- someone else? 16976 Then, dear, I am going to ask you again, the question I have asked you times out of number: Will you marry me?"
16976There is a box in my coat pocket, will you hand me one? 16976 This girl went ridin''with Jack Purdy-- he borrowed the side- saddle from Cinnabar----""Did Cinnabar loan him that saddle fer any such----?"
16976This here chloride, or whatever you call it, you sure it wo n''t kill a man?
16976This water,asked the man,"it''s for her, is n''t it?"
16976W''er''we goin''?

16976What did you do it with, some barbed wire?

16976What do you mean?
16976What do you want around here? 16976 What fellers?"
16976What is a Judson?
16976What is it?
16976What is the meaning of all this? 16976 What other?"
16976What the hell did yeh double- cross me for?

16976What''s them fellows up to?
16976What? 16976 What?"
16976Where are you going?
16976Where has he been?
16976Where in the world did you get those clothes, and what is the matter with your face?
16976Where is he now?
16976Where is that whiskey bottle?
16976Where is your friend-- the one who raced with you for my handkerchief?
16976Where might you hail from?
16976Where''d they go?
16976Where''d you get that horse?
16976Where''d you git that dope, Jack?
16976Where''d you learn to shoot?
16976Where''s Bat?
16976Where''s this here outfit?
16976Where''s your outfit?
16976Where?
16976Who have you shaved?
16976Who is Bat?
16976Who is that man?
16976Who owns this joint?
16976Who would I be thinkin''about now, I wonder?
16976Who would have thought to look for water there?
16976Who, him?
16976Who, me?
16976Who?
16976Why be a man?
16976Why buy a ranch? 16976 Why do people stay cooped up in the cities, when out here there is-- this?"
16976Why does n''t Bat shoot, or go down there and help him?
16976Why should you be here if you did n''t love it?
16976Why was you so anxious she was to have Number 11, if what you''ve told me is on the level?
16976Why''n you stay in Texas, then?
16976Why''n you tell me who it was up here, so''s I could a gathered a man''s- size posse?
16976Will we have time to go up and see it?
16976Will you dine with us in an hour?
16976Will you marry me when you are ready?
16976Will you quit your damn swearin''?
16976Winthrup ai n''t wearin''well,thought the cowboy as his lips twisted into a smile,"but what could you expect with a name like that?
16976Woke up, did n''t you, you old stager? 16976 Would you go to the dance with me tonight, mom?
16976Y''got the price?
16976Yer what?
16976Yes; who you ridin''for?
16976Yes? 16976 You ai n''t be''n down the creek, then?"
16976You ai n''t_ what_?
16976You com''in tam'', eh?
16976You do n''t suppose I''d go off an''leave a good rope where you could get your claws on it, do you? 16976 You got here, did you?
16976You hont you''oman?
16976You mean drug? 16976 You mean you lak''fer git arres''?"
16976You mean you think he''s jest nach''ly got guts-- an''him a pilgrim?
16976You must have thought I sure enough was headin''for Cow Island Crossing did n''t you, you old dogie chaser?
16976You say they''ve dug up all the coulees? 16976 You''m mean de pilgrim''s girl?"
16976You''re a damn smart Injun, ai n''t you? 16976 You''re in a hell of a fix with your eyesight an''hearin''all shot to pieces, ai n''t you?
16976You''re sure they dug up Buffalo?
16976You-- didn''t find him?
16976Your head do n''t hurt you none, workin''it that way, does it?
16976''Cause if they ain''t----""What do you want to know?
16976''Tex,''he says,''where''s the pilgrim?''
16976''Where is he, then?''
16976A horse stood saddled beside the porch, and through the open door Tex could hear a man''s voice raised in anger:"Why in hell ai n''t it ready?
16976A pilgrim done that?
16976Again Alice Marcum shuddered as Endicott spoke:"Can you find our horses?"
16976Ai n''t Choteau County big enough to eat in without crowdin''?
16976Ai n''t that Tex Benton''s horse, an''Cinnabar Joe''s----?"
16976Alice Marcum leaped to her feet:"Oh, are you telling me the truth?
16976Alice returned the smile:"You used to rather go in for boxing in college, did n''t you?"
16976Alice shuddered:"And then-- what became of him, then?"
16976An''as for me tellin''you about him-- answer me square: Would you have believed me?"
16976An''bein''as this here is only a two- handed game, the discards is dead---- See?"
16976An''do n''t you stop to do no gamblin'', neither---- Ai n''t I told you it''s onrespectable an''divertin''to morals?
16976An''how about the other?
16976An''how much odds you got to get before you''ll risk''em?"
16976An''if they ai n''t no prisoner they wo n''t need no witness, will they?"
16976An''what girl?
16976An''would yeh be layin''over fer the dance tonight, mom?"
16976And are you always as accurate as when you lassoed the honourable Mayor of Wolf River?"
16976And besides, we must find some flowers-- wild flowers they must be for our wedding, must n''t they, dear?
16976And by the way, did you learn anything-- in regard to posses, I mean?"
16976And where are the others-- Tex, and Bat, and the pack- horse?"
16976Are n''t you ever afraid?"
16976Because I have taken a human life, and am flying from the hand of the law like a common murderer?"
16976But for the sake of argument admittin''I was drunk, if you object to the singin''and talkin'', what do you recommend a man to do when he''s drunk?"
16976But is n''t there something we can do?
16976But now-- over and over through her brain repeated the question: Where is he?
16976But, hey, Cinnabar, how about that drink?
16976But, really, was n''t it all delightful?
16976But, would he"com''long in tam''"?
16976C''n you hear that?"
16976CHAPTER XIX THE END OF THE TRAIL"How are we going to find them?"
16976Ca n''t a man----?"
16976Ca n''t you see the romance of it-- what it stands for?
16976Curt burst out laughing:"Can you beat it?"
16976D''you get me?
16976D''you recollect one night back in Las Vegas them four bits I loant you?
16976D''you think he''s onto the racket?"
16976D''you think the head- stall wo n''t hold the bit in?
16976D''you want to git us killed?
16976Dat_ hooch_ she mak''noise''nough for wan night,_ sabe_?"
16976Did n''t you hear me when I hollered at you in the saloon a minute ago?"
16976Did she suffer from the shock?"
16976Did you ever see such riding, and shooting, and lassoing?"
16976Did you sneak up near enough to hear what the short- horn said?"
16976Do I look like a school- marm?
16976Do n''t you know where your own face is at?
16976Endicott regarded her with a frown of disapproval:"Why this preposterous and vulgar talk?"
16976Endicott stared at the other:"What do you mean?"
16976Even if he desired could he prevent the cowboys from wreaking their vengeance upon the man who had killed one of their number?
16976Had Tex lied when he told her there would be no lynching?
16976Had someone told the truth about the lynching, and was he really wanted for aiding and abetting the pilgrim''s escape?
16976He pointed to the cans in disgust:"See those ends bulged out that way?
16976He''s always be''n anxious to pay it, ai n''t you, Bill?
16976His stake''s on the thirteen, ai n''t it?"
16976How A''m know he ain''gon for git hurt?"
16976How do I know you''re not going to lynch him?
16976How much do you or I know of it?
16976How much you got, three dollars?
16976How much you want to bet?"
16976How they stackin'', old hand?"
16976I do n''t remember----""Your mem''ry ai n''t no better''n what your eyesight an''hearin''is, is it?
16976I have always understood that cowboys were proficient along those lines, but why should n''t they be?
16976I''ll be needin''a man about your heft an''complexion to help me run it, too-- savvy?"
16976I''m a- goin''to win that buckin''contest-- an''yer goin''to help me--_sabe_?"
16976If I was, do n''t you suppose I''ve got sense enough not to go to you to help me with it?"
16976If that booze was doped why did Cinnabar drink it?
16976Is your parts workin''better?
16976It ai n''t no great ways back to camp----""How is she-- Miss Marcum?
16976It''s a damned hold- up, but what was it you wanted?"
16976It''s this way: D''you know what a frame- up is?"
16976Mister Kester moved his outfit over to the south slope?"
16976Must be some outfit south of here-- what did you say about it?"
16976Nor how bad the train crew got busted up, nor how bad they did n''t?"
16976Not that?
16976Now what''s the use of them bein''took down to Benton an''stuck in jail?
16976Of his character; of his antecedents?
16976Or ai n''t his mouth cut back far enough to suit you?
16976Or did the dollar you had to shell out for the ticket spoil all the fun?"
16976Or is it against the rules to smoke?"
16976Red Rock an''--an''all, Buffalo, Six- mile, Woodpile, Miller''s?"
16976See that mouse over by the wall?"
16976See?"
16976See?"
16976She laughed up into his face:"How can I ever stand it?
16976Sold any drugs that w''d do a man that way, lately?"
16976Some way out of this awful mess?"
16976Something warned her to go back, but-- what harm could there be in just riding to the top?
16976Sounds kind of abrupt an''off- hand, do n''t it?
16976Suddenly, his face became very grave:"Alice,"he cried, bending over her,"is it because my hands are red?
16976Suppose any pilgrim was allowed to step off''n a train any time he happened to be comin''through, an''pick off a loose one?
16976Tex laughed:"Ca n''t stand for the drownded ones, eh?
16976That Win did n''t kill him?
16976That is, if----"The Texan interrupted her almost rudely:"Yes, an''if they did n''t, it would just naturally be hell, would n''t it?"
16976The Mayor grinned;"Tex Benton, hain''t you had no bringin''up whatever?
16976The bartender eyed him narrowly:"Ai n''t you goin''it a little strong, pardner?"
16976The girl drank from the flask and returned it:"If there are posses out wo n''t they watch the water- holes?
16976The girl looked at him inquiringly:"Nester?"
16976The half- breed grinned broadly:"Me,--A''m de, w''at you call, de posse, eh?
16976The lynching would have been an atrocious injustice, but if you did not intend to hang me why should you have taken the trouble to bring me out here?"
16976The man flushed:"Are you never serious?"
16976The men poured their drinks and the Texan glanced toward the other:"You ai n''t mournin''none over Purdy, Curly?"
16976The other stared at him in amazement:"You mean bust him out?"
16976The ranchman regarded him with an intent scowl:"''Sth''matter with you, you drunk?"
16976The trail''s free, hain''t it?
16976Then, after they get through havin''their fun out of you, I''ll just waste a shell on you for luck-- see?"
16976There, you got one at last, did n''t you?
16976These spells is a- killin''me-- an''what''ll become of the woman an''the kids?"
16976They musta got the wrong guy?"
16976This geezer that you bumped off-- self defence, I s''pose?"
16976W''at for dey mak''de posse?"
16976W''er''Purdy?"
16976Was someone calling me?"
16976We thought you would n''t have no guts, an''we''d----""Any what?"
16976Wer''you hit heem?"
16976Whad''ye think this is, a camp meetin''?"
16976What be you?"
16976What business I got hornin''in on''em?
16976What did the girl mean?
16976What do they want of the pilgrim?"
16976What do ye know about the bad lands?
16976What do you know of that man?
16976What do you think I am?
16976What do you think about Purdy?"
16976What does any tourist know of the real West-- the West that lies beyond those level rims of dirt?
16976What makes them howl that way?"
16976What the hell do I care what they say?
16976What was a horse-- a thousand horses to the lives of humans-- her life?
16976What was that stretching away, long, and dark, and winding?
16976What will you do if it is?"
16976What would Choteau County''s or any other county''s he- population look like in a year''s time, eh?
16976What you got him all yanked in for?
16976What you got to do is to back up my play-- remember them four bits I give you way back in Los Vegas?
16976What you want to stand there spinnin''''round like a top for?
16976What''s ailin''ye?"
16976What''s on yer mind?"
16976What''s yourn?"
16976When will I ever get another chance to attend a cowboy dance-- and with a real cowboy, too?"
16976Where did he get the liquor?"
16976Where did you get them?"
16976Where was he?
16976Where was you raised?"
16976Where you be''n at?
16976Where''s the girl?"
16976Where''s your grip?"
16976Which one got it?"
16976Who''s scairt?
16976Why could n''t they have built it along the edge?"
16976Why hain''t you in dancin''?"
16976Why should n''t they be rough?
16976Why, what''s the matter with that horse?"
16976Why?
16976Will you excuse me, now?"
16976With a great surge of gratitude-- and-- was it only gratitude-- this admiration and pride in the achievement of the man who had rushed to her rescue?
16976Wo n''t it be fun seein''Sam Moore puttin''up a scrap to save his prisoner?"
16976Would he never come up?
16976Y''goin''to do as I say''bout that, too?"
16976Ye''ll git lost, an''then what''ll happen to me?
16976Yeh know how loose ol''Lazy Y is with his change?
16976You ai n''t sick, or nothin''?"
16976You bein''a pilgrim, that way, we kind of thought----""A what?"
16976You do n''t need no mirror to eat with, do you?
16976You do not expect me to leave them?"
16976You expect to marry, then, sometime?"
16976You think you''re fit to marry her, do you?
16976You would run a girl-- that girl, into a hole like this, would you?
16976cried the Texan;"How are we goin''to hole up-- four of us an''five horses, on a pint of water an''three cans of tomatoes?
16976exclaimed the cowpuncher,"you do n''t mean you''ve done lost all that there six hundred an''forty- eight bucks?"
16976exclaimed the other,"do n''t you know that Purdy did n''t stay spread?
16976he breathed, softly,"ai n''t you an''I had some nonsensical times?
16976he growled, with a glance toward the dance- hall lights,"an''what makes you think they''s a- goin''to be gun- fightin''?"
14486All ready? 14486 And did you fly as agreed upon?"
14486And have him bump right into the house? 14486 And now that you have lit, what do you expect to do, may I ask?"
14486And what has made you so cheerful this morning?
14486And where do you expect to come in? 14486 And who the heck are you?"
14486Are you crazy, man? 14486 Are you sure this is the couple?"
14486Aw, how was I to know they''d went and planted this field to beans? 14486 Aw, say, Miss Selmer--""Will you be quiet?
14486Aw, what''s he want to see me for?
14486Been planning on some night- riding, hunh?
14486Better duck down somewhere; ca n''t you dodge''em?
14486Bland Halliday, where have you_ been_, for gracious sake? 14486 Can you drop this for me, old man, when we are almost over the hacienda?
14486Can you hear me?
14486Did Johnny tell you he was coming, Mary V?
14486Did n''t care a whoop for publicity-- did you fellows get that? 14486 Did n''t you know you was sliding a wheel every time you threw on the brake?
14486Did you see him?
14486Do n''t you dare attempt to leave before--"What''s the matter here? 14486 Do regular guys wear borrowed clothes?
14486Do you feel that you earned this money?
14486Do you want it?
14486Do you want to pay at this end?
14486Does? 14486 Ducks?
14486F''r cat''s sake, what they went and done to this field?
14486Fly where?
14486Fly where?
14486Get-- out?
14486Goes to prove I was right, do n''t it? 14486 Going back to your Indian tribe?"
14486Gratitude, huh?
14486Have you any particular time set for it, or any plans made?
14486Hello, old top-- how they using yuh?
14486Hey, ai n''t yuh awake yet? 14486 How about that duck hunting?"
14486How can I make money with this plane?
14486How far can you keep this up-- without the motor?
14486How long a job is this?
14486How long? 14486 How much farther we got to walk, for gosh sake?"
14486I guess it would have been better if I''d stayed away, I''ll remember--"For gracious_ sake_, what does make you so horrid?
14486I mean, what about the mechanic? 14486 I''ll come peacefully all right; what I''m wondering now is, will the other fellow?"
14486If I come back would I be shot at?
14486Is n''t this rather low?
14486Lend us a smoke, will yuh, old top? 14486 Me?
14486No? 14486 Now what?"
14486Oh, hello, Mary V. That you? 14486 Oh, well, what''s the use of talking?
14486Oh-- h, no, Mary V. You ca n''t kid me out of this, so why keep on arguing? 14486 Oh-- who?
14486Old Sudden gave you money to go, and dumped you at the depot, did n''t he? 14486 Our being engaged does n''t make any difference--""Oh, does n''t it?
14486Out of Mexico?
14486Quien sabe?
14486Ready, Bland? 14486 Run it under there, and who would ever suspect?
14486Sawb-- What y''mean, Sawb? 14486 See that deep notch in the ridge away off there?
14486Should the crisis have to be met suddenly, do you wish to dodge the publicity that would follow if I told just who you are? 14486 Too fast for you?"
14486Too fast? 14486 Was n''t them Injuns?"
14486We?
14486Well, do you think it will serve?
14486Well, what do you mean, then?
14486Well, what yuh want? 14486 Well, where''s that apology?"
14486Whadda yuh mean, glad? 14486 What about him?
14486What about you?
14486What ails that darned motor? 14486 What did you say?"
14486What do I want to listen to him for?
14486What do you mean, trying to avoid answering a perfectly civil question?
14486What has he done, for gracious sake? 14486 What kinda pilot are you, for gosh sake?"
14486What the hell are you doing here?
14486What yo''all doin'', up there?
14486What yuh doing here? 14486 What''s the matter with him?
14486What''s the matter with you, Bland?
14486What''s the matter? 14486 What''s the name of that red- faced friend of Cliff''s?"
14486What''s the next move?
14486Where are you taking me?
14486Where is he? 14486 Where you takin''me, f''r cat''s sake?"
14486Where''s my man?
14486Where''s that chuck you was talking about? 14486 Where''s your captain or somebody that''s in charge here?
14486Who asked you to tag around after me? 14486 Who is really entitled to this money?"
14486Why all this modesty to- day? 14486 Why did n''t you go on and light in Japan?
14486Why? 14486 Why?"
14486With apologies for overhearing a private conversation,said Captain Riley,"speaking of getting a new plane, why do n''t you enlist as an aviator?
14486Writin''poetry for friend Venus to read? 14486 You ai n''t?
14486You crazy?
14486You do n''t go around asking other men how they expect to meet their obligations a year from now, do you? 14486 You know where our camp is?"
14486You mean you could bring him-- as you brought this man Lowell?
14486You see those twin peaks up there? 14486 You''d take a tramp''s advice before you would my father''s, would you?"
14486Your third week''s salary answers that, does n''t it? 14486 Ah-- a room and bath, say on the sixth floor? 14486 Ai n''t that right, Eyebrow?
14486All ready?
14486Am I in the way here?
14486And Mary V would kind of catch her breath and open her eyes wide at him, and say,"Why, Johnny--?"
14486And ca n''t you make arrangements with the owner of this field to leave it here for the present-- and perhaps get him to keep an eye on it?
14486And how long do you expect it will take to pay me for the horses?"
14486And if he sold his own airplane, how then would he fly?
14486And them government planes riding on my tail like they''ve been doing the last two trips?
14486And what does he do?
14486And when they did finally turn him loose, Mary V would be ashamed of her jailbird sweetheart, and his airplane would be-- where?
14486And where was her pride, anyway?
14486And where''s Johnny?"
14486And why did n''t you take the time and the trouble to call me up and say what you were going to do, when you knew that I''d be looking for you?
14486And would n''t dad please talk to Johnny?
14486Are n''t you going to_ do_ anything?
14486Are n''t you satisfied with getting me almost put in jail innocently?
14486Are you about ready?
14486Are you coming?"
14486Are you-- er-- ready to fly?"
14486Bland Halliday, what have you done with him?"
14486But of course the marks will show--""Just what kind of marks?"
14486By the way-- how much of it was true?
14486CHAPTER TWENTY- FIVE OVER THE TELEPHONE"Hello?"
14486Ca n''t you hear him holler for thrills?
14486Ca n''t you show''em an Arizona sample of flying?
14486Can you do that?"
14486Can you fly at night?"
14486Can you get rid of him, in other words?"
14486Can you see any place that would make a possible secret landing for an airplane, for instance?"
14486Could he do anything else for her?
14486Could he locate the fault and correct it before that brush- fringe belched forth painted warriors bent on massacre?
14486Could n''t they do anything but go to extremes, for gosh sake?
14486Could n''t they find anything else to do, for gosh sake?"
14486Cross your heart you''ll''phone the very instant you find out anything?
14486D''yuh know that?"
14486Darned boobs-- what did they want to get up searching parties for?
14486Did Johnny mean to commit suicide?
14486Did Johnny think, f''r cat''s sake, he could light in front of the Alexandria and call a bell- hop to take the plane?
14486Did he think they could put the darn thing in an auto park?
14486Did n''t I say there was big money in flyin''?"
14486Did n''t they feed yuh good?"
14486Did they see me coming?"
14486Did you do that deliberately just to scare me, you bad boy?
14486Did you let him out?"
14486Did you say something about being shot at?"
14486Do n''t the Germans fly at night all over London?
14486Do n''t they know what a perfectly wonderful flyer you are?
14486Do n''t you believe I can do it?"
14486Do n''t you birds want to fly?
14486Do n''t you consider this is honest money?
14486Do n''t you like to ride?"
14486Do n''t you think you had better run it under a shed somewhere and go to work?
14486Do n''t you think, Mary V, you''re kinda changeable?"
14486Do n''t yuh spose I want to know where''s he at?"
14486Do you call that a treat, for gracious sake?
14486Do you fellows think, for gosh sake, I just flew over here to give you guys a treat?
14486Do you mean to tell me you''re going to leave?
14486Do you think I''m going to be pointed out as a joke on the Rolling R?
14486Do you think I''m going to walk around as a living curiosity, the only thing Sudden Selmer ever got stung on?
14486Do you think your dad''s got the only brain in the world?
14486Get the idea?
14486Give you any trouble?"
14486Had n''t he been flying in his own plane?
14486Has he shown up yet?"
14486Has it ever occurred to you, old man, how thoroughly disarming a woman and kiddies are in any enterprise that requires secrecy?"
14486Have n''t you done harm enough, for gracious sake?
14486Have you any contract with him, or are you tied up with him in any way?
14486Hold your jaws still, ca n''t yuh, while I tell yuh what we''ll do?"
14486How about that flat, out in front?
14486How about you?
14486How could he ever hope to be in the game as long as Bland had been?
14486How do men run their affairs, and get rich, that never heard of him, do you suppose?
14486How do you know?"
14486How long will it take you to get the machine in shape?
14486How long will people go on reading their morning paper at breakfast?"
14486How much is it?"
14486How much would a new propeller cost?
14486How much would a propeller cost, any way?
14486How much, after all, did Johnny owe to Bland Halliday?
14486How would a cup of coffee suit you?
14486How would a second lieutenancy strike you, Jewel?
14486How''s she working, these days?
14486How_ can_ the United States Army be so stupid?
14486I been looking for him myself, and--""Bland Halliday, do you want to be torn limb from limb, right here on the public street before everybody?
14486I guess that will let you throw your feet under the table regular-- what?"
14486I take it you are in the same boat-- eh?"
14486I wanted to keep her in good shape in case the gover''ment--""Trying to sell it back to the gover''ment, huh?
14486I was the mechanic-- see?
14486I wonder is there any lampblack on the place?"
14486I wonder, by the way, why I am not invited to be present at that wedding?"
14486I''d look like a boob now, would n''t I, if the guards nabbed us?
14486If Bland is telling the truth, do n''t you see what it means?
14486If it had been honest money, why should those soldiers go riding through the valleys, looking for him and his plane?
14486If it was against the law, how did Lowell expect to get away with it?
14486If it was n''t, why be so darned secret about it?
14486If you feel that way about it, why did n''t you say so?
14486If you''ll tell me how much you''re out--?"
14486If you''ve ever been around a flying field you''ve noticed what looks like wheel- barrow tracks all over, have n''t you?
14486In a month-- or would it last for a month?
14486Is he over to the flying- machine shed?"
14486Is it a crime for people to get married?
14486Is it big enough for a flying field, do you think?
14486Is that it?"
14486Is that your teeth chattering?
14486Is this young man--- the one you brought in-- is he the only one you know who has been concerned in this-- er-- business?
14486Is yours dug already?
14486Jewel, when you landed?"
14486Jewel?"
14486Johnny rattled the hook impatiently, called hello with irritated insistence, and finally succeeded in raising Central''s impersonal:"Number, please?"
14486Just a little ways-- to see how it feels?"
14486Just any old place?"
14486Just ready for whatever turns up that looks promising?"
14486Just so you''d have a chance to wreck the plane?
14486Just who and what was the fellow, anyway?
14486Let me take you to a regular place, will you?
14486Mary V seeing him then would surely have asked herself,"What, for gracious sake, is Johnny up to now?"
14486Need money?"
14486Now you''ll come back to the ranch, wo n''t you, Johnny?"
14486Oh, well, what did it matter?
14486Oh, you did?
14486Or could girls forget a fellow all at once?
14486Or had she ever really cared?
14486Or should he go to some cheap rooming house and save a few dollars, and sink into obscurity among the city''s strange thousands?
14486Sabe?"
14486Say, that was some bronk- riding I did up there among the clouds-- what?
14486See the town right down there?
14486Seriously now, as a sporting proposition and a chance to make money, how does it strike you?"
14486Shall we start?"
14486Should he refuse to ride on a wing and let Johnny fly off without him?
14486Since the Thunder Bird was not here, why should strangers be shot at?
14486So he did start, just as I told him to do-- and something awful has happened to him-- and where''s dad?"
14486So please, dear, wo n''t you let us come up and talk nicely together?
14486So you have no settled plans for the future, I take it?
14486Starting an aviation school?"
14486Ten minutes of joyride, at ten dollars per joy-- you mind the mob that follered us to the hotel just for a look- in?
14486That''s fair enough, ai n''t it?
14486That''s fair enough--""Then you wo n''t even listen to dad''s proposition?"
14486The guards were still happily unaware of how they were going to worry later on, so why the shooting?
14486The man could see everything-- but could he hear?
14486The point is, it took_ money_ to do them things, did n''t it?
14486Then why should you think you''ve got a right to butt in on my private business, I''d like to know?
14486There were three hundred dollars left from what Bland had earned-- Bland-- What had become of Bland, anyway?
14486They do n''t sabe flying machines-- see?
14486Think she''ll lift us off the ground?"
14486Think you''re heading a funeral?
14486Three hundred bones the first day,--how''s that?
14486Trouble?"
14486Uncomfortably his memory visioned that other day( was it only yesterday morning?
14486Want a lesson?"
14486Want to show the boys a new stunt, Bland?
14486Was it two miles to where they had turned out of the bean field on to the highway?
14486Was n''t this very money-- thirty- two hundred dollars of it-- going to pay for that bit of gullibility?
14486Was that only last night?
14486We''ve earned one good meal, ai n''t we?
14486Well, now, how''s this?"
14486Were they still engaged, so long as she did not return his ring?
14486Whadda yuh think?"
14486What Johnny would like to know was, what had he done that he should be shot at?
14486What about telephone wires and electric light wires and trolley wires?
14486What about that mechanic?
14486What are you doing over there?
14486What are you looking for?
14486What are you standing there holding up traffic for?
14486What did anything matter?
14486What do you mean by honest?"
14486What else is there to do?"
14486What good would it do him if Bland carried passengers from morning until night, every day of the six?
14486What had become of the darned little runt?
14486What if Bland were telling the truth?
14486What if Johnny had actually dropped out of sight with five hundred dollars in his possession?
14486What if he had struck too hard, had killed the man?
14486What if you had been hurt somewhere?
14486What more did it take, for gosh sake?
14486What next?
14486What was the use of tormenting himself further?
14486What were six days-- five days now?
14486What you been doing all day?"
14486What you blocking traffic for?
14486What you loafing for?
14486What yuh want to sell it for, f''r cat''s sake?
14486What''s that?
14486What''s that?
14486What''s the idea?
14486What''s the idea?"
14486What''s the little joker, Bland?"
14486What''s the matter with this darned place?"
14486What''s the matter with you?
14486What, for gracious sake, ailed Johnny lately?
14486What, for gracious sake, ever put that idea into your head?
14486What, for gracious sake, was a hotel clerk for, if not to tell a person what she wanted to know?
14486What?
14486Where are you stopping?
14486Where can I spot her-- out of the way?"
14486Where do we light, in Mexico?
14486Where do you get that?
14486Where is Johnny?
14486Where''s Johnny?"
14486Where''s there any water?"
14486Who was to keep tabs on how many passengers I took up?
14486Who''s talking about cost?
14486Who?
14486Why did n''t he know where Johnny had gone?
14486Why did n''t he tell me, if he thought I should wait until after my birthday?"
14486Why do n''t you get in and locate the trouble?"
14486Why do n''t you keep it?
14486Why in the world did he keep harping on that one fact that Johnny had gone out and had not come back?
14486Why just sail over a few houses and fly home?
14486Why must a newspaper man bring back certain mysterious packages, and straightway disappear with them in the car?
14486Why, for gracious sake, do you suppose I went and fixed his din-- dinner--?"
14486Why, good golly, where did you come from?
14486Why, you fool, they--""What the heck do I care about them?
14486Why?
14486Why?"
14486Will I fly by moon- light?
14486Will I?
14486Will you sign a note for that three thousand, with interest at seven per cent., and give your flying machine as security?"
14486Wo n''t you please see dad and be nice to him?
14486Would Bland, when he came, have sense enough to send one around calling out"Mr. Jew- wel-- Mr. John- ny Jew- wel"?
14486Would all that be necessary for a legitimate enterprise?
14486Would all the barber shops be closed when they reached town?
14486Would n''t the guards have orders to shut their eyes when an airplane flew high, bearing a man who gathered news vital to the government?
14486Would she care whether she ever saw him again?
14486Would they put him out, or would they think he was so rich and famous he did n''t give a darn?
14486Would you like to talk with him yourself?
14486Yes, who is this, please?
14486Yon got ta have a flunkey, ai n''t yuh?
14486You bring any guns?"
14486You can make that easily enough, I suppose?"
14486You did n''t fool around and let somebody else shoulder your responsibilities, did you?
14486You get me?"
14486You get that, do you?
14486You got a gun?"
14486You know what they thought?
14486You mean Schwab?"
14486You never knew you''d turn out to be a stunt flyer, hey?
14486You sabe that?"
14486You tell that to every one, Mr. Sheriff, will you, please?
14486You want us both to git killed?
14486You would have to-- what about your mechanic?"
14486You''ll do as I tell you, or I''ll--""Now will you shut up?"
14486You''ve accepted my note, and you''ve got your security, and what the hell more do you want?"
14486You--""The trouble is that I was n''t killed?
19026''Did you notice?'' 19026 ''Does that cayuse look busted?''
19026''Notice what?'' 19026 A goal?"
19026Ai n''t you the boss?
19026An''so Taggart''s lookin''for me?
19026An''your grandpap?
19026And you shot at him? 19026 Another job?
19026Any more Claytons around here?
19026Are Telza an''Taggart friends?
19026Are you wantin''old Taggart to get away with the idol?
19026Aw, Taggart,it said loudly,"you''re crowdin''the ante a little, ai n''t you?"
19026Because you did n''t want me to, I reckon?
19026Betty see the pup?
19026But do you think that was a gentleman''s action-- to enter my room, to search it-- even for something that belonged to you?
19026But,she added, interestedly,"now that you know where the idol is, why do n''t you get it and convert it into cash?"
19026Ca n''t you trust anybody?
19026Can you tell me why I ai n''t lettin''daylight through you?
19026Clear conscience, eh?
19026Clever, ai n''t it?
19026Clever, eh?
19026Comin''?
19026Correct,said Calumet;"how you knowin''me?"
19026Dead, eh?
19026Diagram of what?
19026Did you think I was going to let them off so easy? 19026 Did you think I was runnin''away without squarin''things with them?"
19026Do n''t you see?
19026Do n''t, Cal,she said;"do n''t you see that Dade and Malcolm are watching us?"
19026Do you know Telza?
19026Do you know what I came here for?
19026Do you know what is in this letter?
19026Do you know what is in this letter?
19026Do you know where the idol is hid?
19026Do you like him?
19026Do you mind going over to the Diamond K with me this morning?
19026Do you reckon Betty will be glad to see him?
19026Do you reckon to have a bridle that belongs to that right pretty saddle an''suit of yourn?
19026Do you reckon you need to go at all?
19026Do you_ sabe_ my idea?
19026Drinkin''?
19026Drinkin''?
19026For you_ think_ you are a man, I suppose?
19026Foxy, ai n''t you?
19026Friend of yourn?
19026Friend of_ his_?
19026Friends?
19026Goin''to ride?
19026Goin''to work your jaw again, I reckon?
19026Gone where?
19026Got it all framed up on me, eh?
19026Gun- fighter, ai n''t he?
19026Has she got a granddad named Malcolm Clayton, an''a brother Bob?
19026He has n''t the diagram, has he? 19026 He''s dead, ai n''t he?"
19026He''s got all this in the will?
19026Hearin''me?
19026How can you think that? 19026 How cheap?"
19026How different?
19026How do you know?
19026How?
19026I presume I am to take that as a compliment?
19026I reckon I come pretty near doin''for you, eh?
19026I reckon the ol''fool asked for me?
19026I reckon you ai n''t got no objections to tellin''me what you''re laughin''at?
19026I reckon you ai n''t sellin''that black horse?
19026I reckon you''d like to have me leave?
19026I reckon you''re from the Arrow?
19026I reckon you''re goin''to correct them?
19026If you do n''t know what is in this letter-- if you did n''t read it-- how do you know that I am to have this money?
19026In a hurry, Taggart?
19026It was your idea, I reckon?
19026It''s my game, do you hear? 19026 It''s your game, ai n''t it?"
19026Just what did she say?
19026Kind of him, was n''t it? 19026 Know him, eh?"
19026Layin''for me, eh? 19026 Like him?"
19026Look here,he said truculently;"does it make any difference to you where I''ve been or what I''ve done?"
19026Look here,he said;"I got what you wanted, did n''t I?
19026Meanin''that I''m nothin'', I reckon?
19026Meanin''that if I had your thousand an''was in your place?
19026Meanin''what?
19026Meaning to hint about the money the old man left, I reckon?
19026No?
19026Nosey, eh?
19026Nothin''is botherin''you this mornin'', I reckon?
19026Of course,she returned;"why not?"
19026Oh,she said;"are you going after him?
19026Oh,she said;"did you hear them?"
19026Oh,she said;"what has happened to you?"
19026Remember what?
19026Riddles, eh?
19026Shall I tell you?
19026Shocked?
19026So he can ride some?
19026So he got wind of it, did he? 19026 So it''s you, eh?"
19026So you heard Taggart talking to me?
19026So you lied, eh? 19026 So you think I''ve made progress, an''that I''m goin''to do what you want me to do?"
19026So you''re stringin''him along all right, then?
19026So,he said, after a while;"I do n''t get the coin until I become a Sunday school scholar?"
19026Some shocked, eh?
19026Sorry that I''m seein''things different?
19026Sorta riled, eh?
19026Stranger here, I reckon?
19026Stranger here, I reckon?
19026Suppose I''d blow the whole business?
19026Surprise party, eh?
19026Take my guns, eh?
19026Talk sense,he said shortly;"who''s Telza?"
19026Tell me where you are going?
19026Telza?
19026Telza?
19026Telza?
19026That''s it,he growled;"why not?
19026That''s keepin''cases pretty close, ai n''t it?
19026That''s old Marston''s place, ai n''t it?
19026That''s square, ai n''t it?
19026Them the exact words?
19026Then the Taggarts have tried to get it since you''ve been here?
19026Then why did n''t you choose another place to call him to account?
19026Then you know me?
19026Then you take an interest in me?
19026Then you think I wo n''t blow this coin?
19026Then,she said with cold contempt,"you killed him in pure wantonness?"
19026There is something missing from the letter, ai n''t there?
19026There,she said;"does n''t that feel better?"
19026They missed connections, did n''t they? 19026 Usin''it?"
19026Usin''it?
19026Want it done up in style, eh?
19026Was you all asleep?
19026Was you thinkin''I was fool enough to go to gassin''with you, trustin''that you would n''t take your chance to perforate me? 19026 Well,"he said with truculent insolence;"what in Sam Hill are you- all doin''at the Lazy Y, anyway?"
19026Well,he said,"you like him because I gave him to you, eh?
19026Well?
19026Well?
19026What are they?
19026What are you an''your grand- pap doin''at the Lazy Y?
19026What are you doing here?
19026What are you doing here?
19026What are you going to do?
19026What did he say?
19026What did you say?
19026What do you think now?
19026What do you think you are worth to a man who ai n''t got no authority to do any hirin''?
19026What do you want to know for?
19026What for?
19026What for?
19026What is?
19026What makes you think that?
19026What should bother me?
19026What terms are you talkin''about?
19026What you clawin''your head that way for?
19026What you gettin''at, you damned old gopher?
19026What you meetin''him for, then?
19026What''s eatin''you? 19026 What''s that?"
19026What''s that?
19026What''s this for?
19026What''s up?
19026What''s wrong?
19026When did he cash in?
19026When did you get my permission to take care of it? 19026 When did you think I needed any pity?"
19026Where is it?
19026Where''s Betty?
19026Where''s the old coyote which has been callin''himself my dad?
19026Where''s your ranch?
19026Where?
19026Who are you meetin'', then?
19026Who are you?
19026Who did, then?
19026Who got you?
19026Who got you?
19026Who in hell is askin''for_ your_ opinion?
19026Who''d get the money then?
19026Who''s Bob?
19026Who''s your friend?
19026Who?
19026Who?
19026Why did n''t you offer Kelton the Lazy Y range?
19026Why did n''t you take the property?
19026Why did n''t you tell us?
19026Why do n''t you take Dade-- or Malcolm?
19026Why you wantin''to get rid of the black?
19026Will you be safe, then?
19026Wo n''t you come in?
19026Ye- es?
19026You do n''t reckon I could break that will?
19026You do n''t say?
19026You had a lot of faith in me, did n''t you?
19026You have n''t had your supper,she said;"wo n''t you eat if I get it ready?"
19026You like him, anyway? 19026 You mean that it ai n''t ended between you an''him?"
19026You opened it, I suppose?
19026You reckonin''on bein''the boss now?
19026You''re Marston, ai n''t you?
19026You''re goin''to be my guardian?
19026A man whose evil nature caused other men to shun him; a man who scoffed at virtue; who saw no good in anything?
19026After that he would drive Betty and all of them-- But would he?
19026An''so that''s your grandpa?
19026An''what in thunder was you shootin''_ at_?"
19026An''you''re botherin''about it?"
19026And then her voice taunted him:"What a big, brave man you are?"
19026Are you well supplied with that?"
19026Are you?"
19026As for bossing the ranch,"she went on, her voice suddenly one of cold mockery,"what is there to boss?
19026Betty what?"
19026But he''s losin''his grouch, an''if you--""When do you think you will finish repairing the corral?"
19026But if you''re stuck on him, why do n''t you come out in the open, instead of sneakin''around?
19026But what about the money?
19026But would he?
19026Ca n''t we get at it in the proper spirit?
19026Could n''t he have put down another item to cover that forty dollars?"
19026Dade?
19026Did n''t the old man tell you I could stay here a year?
19026Did n''t you know the quicksand was there?"
19026Did you ever notice,"he added, turning to Calumet, who was filling his glass,"what a heap of confidence whisky will give a man?
19026Did you notice his eyes?
19026Did you take Lonesome for a wolf?"
19026Did you think I wanted to poison you?"
19026Do you doubt this is for your own good?
19026Do you get me?"
19026Do you reckon I could prove that I did n''t do it?
19026Do you understand?
19026Friend, eh?
19026Grandpa,"she added, turning to Malcolm,"wo n''t you join us?
19026Had he been at the Lazy Y a day or a year?
19026Had he felt a longing to revisit the old place?
19026I come pretty near hurtin''him an''you''re some het up over it?
19026I reckon he ai n''t so bad, after all-- is he Betty?"
19026I reckon he''s some impatient to find out where the idol is?"
19026I reckon you ai n''t hurt?"
19026I reckon you thought I was after the idol?"
19026I''m charged with one murder, ai n''t I?
19026If you had my thousand what would you do with it?"
19026In any event, what did it matter?
19026Is he dead?"
19026Is that it?
19026It was this: had Betty meant to hit Taggart when she had shot at him?
19026Ketch my drift?"
19026Know Bob?
19026Know Malcolm?"
19026Know her?
19026Layin''for me for a week, eh?
19026Malcolm?
19026Marston told you, did he?
19026My honesty proven, what must have been my motive in staying here to take your insults, to submit to your boorishness?
19026So then she was going to deny it?
19026So you know her?
19026The point is, did you tell the truth?"
19026Then you''re disconnected at present?"
19026Then, why had he come?
19026There''s a difference, ai n''t there?
19026Was he the Calumet Marston who, a week before, had set out on his homeward journey filled with bitterness-- looking for trouble?
19026Was he to take Betty''s departure before his arrival as an indication that she had fled from him?
19026Was it an indication that he was feeling more friendly to her, or had he merely grown tired of Blackleg?
19026Was it you shootin''?
19026Was n''t that just like a woman?
19026Well, what of it?
19026What are you goin''to do about it?"
19026What could you have done; what could you do now?
19026What do you suppose will happen when the Taggarts discover that you have gone and that I am here alone?"
19026What do you think of it?"
19026What do you think of it?"
19026What meant that journey to the timber clump with the pick and shovel, and what had been done there during the hour that he had remained there?
19026What right have you got to be settin''there tellin''me that you''re goin''to be my judge; that you''re goin''to butt into my game at all?
19026What you doin''here?"
19026What you wantin''of me?"
19026What''s the first move?"
19026What''s the use of me goin''now, just when you''re goin''to start to reform me?
19026What''s your ranch?"
19026Where''s Marston?"
19026Where''s my chance?"
19026Where''s the money?"
19026Which way did he go?"
19026Who could his assailant be?
19026Who was the man?
19026Why did n''t you keep him here?
19026Why you poor little sufferin''innocent, what business have you got here at all?
19026Why?"
19026Wo n''t you sit down?"
19026Would it affect her future relations with Taggart?
19026You got any men around here?"
19026You wantin''me for this?"
19026You''re goin''to be my judge?
19026You''re goin''to reform me?
19026Your father had been wounded in the shoulder and it would not have been long before--""Who are the Taggarts?"
19026Your folks sorta handed you the tongue for the family when you butted into this here world, did n''t they?
19026he added as he saw the elder Taggart make a negative motion toward his son,"you ai n''t got no clear thoughts just at this minute, eh?"
19026he said,"what you chinnin''me for?
19026he said;"do you want to get hurt?"
19026he said;"jealous of you?
19026he said;"what in thunder are you doin''here?"
19026he said;"what''s happened?"
19026said Bob, quickly--"Calumet?"
19026said Toban, in an awed voice;"what in blazes did you do to him?
19026said the elder Taggart;"you do n''t mean that?
19026she demanded of Calumet;"what were you shooting at?"
19026she demanded;"what do you want?"
10374''Lamblin''Kid''s''a funny fellow, do n''t you think so, Sing Pete?
10374A dance?
10374A thousand? 10374 A-- a what?"
10374Agreement?
10374Ai n''t he at the stables?
10374Ai n''t that just like the blamed idiot-- to go and ride that filly to- night?
10374Ai n''t you afraid she''ll break away from the_ caballero_ and you''ll lose her again?
10374Ai n''t you going to get up?
10374Ai n''t you going with us,Charley Saunders asked,"and help skin them steers?"
10374Ai n''t you going?
10374Ai n''t you starting the beef hunt too early?
10374Am I?
10374And it is?
10374And now?
10374And why would n''t he?
10374Any of you Quarter Circle KT fellers going in on anything at the Rodeo, this year?
10374Are n''t you going to ride the filly in that race at Eagle Butte?
10374Are those cattle,Carolyn June asked,"those things across the river?"
10374Are you backing that with money?
10374Are you plumb positive that she is one, Parker?
10374Are you sure?
10374Asleep, I reckon,he replied in a voice peculiarly low and deliberate,"--what''s your spontaneousness about?
10374Aw-- don''t you reckon you ought to choose one of the others first?
10374Bluing?
10374But I understand Old Heck''s aiming to bet a little,he drawled suggestively;"probably you''d like to see him?"
10374But did n''t that widow act funny for an''anti- he''suffragette?
10374But how about th''Ramblin''Kid putting his gun in your ribs-- resisting an officer and so on?
10374But how?
10374But what?
10374By thunder, I can,Skinny said, pausing,"that is, I''m willing to bet my money on it--""Vhy do n''t you go ahead and do it, then?"
10374Ca n''t you ever get over your dog- goned craziness? 10374 Ca n''t you head''em off, somehow?"
10374Ca n''t you-- won''t you-- ever-- ca-- care?
10374Can I get you to take me an''my daughter out to that construction camp where they''re buildin''a ditch or something?
10374Can Thunderbolt run?
10374Can you ride?
10374Carolyn June,Ophelia said when they were alone,"I have made a discovery--""It is?"
10374Chuck''s joking,Parker said;"he always was foolish--""Uncle Josiah,"Carolyn June asked suddenly,"can you take Ophelia to Eagle Butte to- day?"
10374Darned if I know-- ain''t he there?
10374Did I miss you this mornin''? 10374 Did I tell you I wanted a''gentle horse''?"
10374Did he name her as the Gold Dust maverick?
10374Did she buck?
10374Did you hear about that dance next Saturday night after the picture show?
10374Did you put bluing in your rinse water?
10374Did you speak, Uncle Josiah?
10374Do n''t you ever-- ever--''ask''anybody anything yourself?
10374Do n''t you like it?
10374Do n''t you want her?
10374Do n''t you want me to go?
10374Do you hear me? 10374 Do you know; where he went, Parker?"
10374Do you reckon the filly can really beat that Thunderbolt horse?
10374Do you reckon there''s any danger of it?
10374Does everybody have to-- to-- ask you everything?
10374Does he live at the Quarter Circle KT?
10374Drunk as I was th''day of th''race?
10374Drunk?
10374Event?
10374Feeds''Clap''n Jack''sugar, does he?
10374Framed?
10374Gee, did n''t Skinny shine in that shirt?
10374Gee, is n''t it pretty?
10374Gee, when you do start you go in a hurry, do n''t you?
10374Go ahead,she whispered to Skinny;"what then?"
10374Going to get drunk, are you?
10374Good heavens,Carolyn June called,"do you blow bubbles this early in the morning?"
10374Good heavens,she continued,"why do men think they have to lie to women?
10374Good lord,Charley gasped,"hear that, fellers?
10374Good luck?
10374Got it ready?
10374Got married?
10374Guess you people ai n''t got anything out there for the two- mile sweepstakes this year, have you?
10374Had I?
10374Had a what?
10374Had n''t we better stop at the drug store,she asked soberly,"and get some medicine?"
10374Had n''t you ought to exercise her?
10374Has he entered the outlaw filly for the sweepstakes, yet?
10374Has no one but-- but the Ramblin''Kid--Carolyn June hesitated queerly over the name--"ever ridden him?"
10374Have a good time?
10374Have you found him?
10374He eats, do n''t he? 10374 He wants to bet me four- bits he can--""Walk on them eggs and not preak them?"
10374He was blowing, was he?
10374He wo n''t let me ride him, will he?
10374Hell, what''s the difference?
10374Hell,he muttered,"what''s the use?
10374Her forehead does bulge out a good deal in front, when you come to look at it, do n''t it?
10374How are you going to work things when he gets back?
10374How big is she?
10374How does it happen you ai n''t fell in love with Carolyn June?
10374How is that?
10374How much do you suppose we ought to put in?
10374How was that?
10374How''s that?
10374How''s the Purgatory?
10374How''s the filly?
10374Huh?
10374I ai n''t aiming to, and I do n''t know what th''Ramblin? 10374 I do n''t understand,"Carolyn June said;"what arrangement?"
10374I guess you must be Carolyn June?
10374I reckon that''s right,Chuck whispered back,"it''s an awful jolt to Old Heck, ai n''t it?"
10374I reckon you are Carolyn June and Missus Ophelia Cobb,Old Heck stammered"Which one of you is which?"
10374I would in a minute,Chuck chipped in,"if I was good- looking like Skinny and had a white shirt--""What''s a white shirt got to do with it?"
10374I''d rather have Skinny''s job,Bert said with a snicker,"I''d be afraid of Ophelia--""Why?"
10374I''ll just flicker an eyelid occasionally at Parker, unless you object?
10374I-- I-- reckon I''ll have to do it if she''s determined,Parker stuttered;"but-- aw, hell-- I must have been crazy--""Who''s determined on what?"
10374I-- I-- reckon you want it back, then?
10374If I come in will you-- will we-- go, Manilla?
10374Is Skinny one?
10374Is he afraid of women?
10374Is it?
10374Is n''t that enough?
10374Is she making fun of me?
10374Is that all?
10374Is the hat all-- didn''t you--she intended to say"find something else?"
10374Is-- this-- is this a hold- up?
10374It''ll be easy when you get used to it--"If you know so much about it why do n''t you enlist yourself?
10374It''s a good thing there''s prohibition in this town,Skinny muttered as he stepped from the car and started brushing the dust from his coat;"Why?"
10374It''s easy for folks to get acquainted, is n''t it?
10374It''s funny, ai n''t it?
10374It''s kind of pretty, ai n''t it?
10374It''s worse than sorrowful--"Melancholical?
10374Killed him?
10374Listen, Ramblin''Kid,she broke in,"I-- I-- know all about everything-- about what started the fight--""You do?"
10374Me hate you?
10374Medicine? 10374 Not even to a woman?"
10374Now,Old Heck said with a hard laugh,"maybe you''d like to own the Quarter Circle KT ranch, Dorsey?
10374Oh, is-- is-- that you, Ramblin''Kid?
10374Oh, who is that?
10374Old Heck''s niece acts kind of stampedish, do n''t she?
10374On''Old Blue''?
10374Ophelia marry_ you_?
10374Ophelia? 10374 Pretty soft, is n''t it?"
10374Putting his gun in my ribs? 10374 Ramblin''Kid,"Carolyn June spoke suddenly very softly,"Ramblin''Kid-- why-- why do you hate me?"
10374Rider-- and horse?
10374Shall we forgive them?
10374She''s a what?
10374She''s-- she''s twenty- two--"Inches around or what?
10374Shut up, you blamed idiot, ai n''t you got no respect?
10374Sing Pete,she said, stepping into the kitchen,"may I have some sugar-- I''d like the lumpy kind if you have it?"
10374Skinny ca n''t do it alone-- can''t you see it''s choking?
10374So th''Ramblin''Kid killed old Sabota, did he?
10374So that''s what you''re an''Organizer''for?
10374Something''s got it,Charley answered,"he ai n''t acted natural all day-- do you reckon he''s sore because Parker took the widow to town?"
10374Sore?
10374Sounds sort of sensible, though, does n''t it?
10374Teleglam? 10374 That''s a hell of a thing to be packin''--wonder why I keep it?"
10374That''s funny,he thought,"wonder where Skinny''s at?"
10374That''s-- what was in that?''
10374That,Skinny said after a quick glance,"oh, that''s th''Ramblin''Kid-- Where in thunder do you reckon the darned fool''s going now?"
10374The Gold Dust maverick?
10374The Quarter Circle KT''s getting to be quite a female institution, ai n''t it?
10374The Young Whirlwind had cause?
10374The race is almost ready to start and-- do you reckon you could ride the filly, Bert?
10374The woman would n''t object, would she?
10374Then Skinny and your Uncle Josiah,the widow murmured,"and Parker-- are-- are-- pretending?"
10374Then the storm did drive him to shelter, after all?
10374There and then, but not here and now--"Where and when?
10374They seem plumb determined to arrive--"I''ve already give up hope,Old Heck answered,"but what will we do with them when they get here?
10374Tom,he said,"I reckon you''ll be looking some for th''Ramblin''Kid, after what happened last night, wo n''t you?"
10374Vat you standing there for? 10374 Was n''t that what made th''Ramblin''Kid kill the Greek?"
10374We had better go on,she said, then added lightly:"Does it always affect you so when you get this view of the valley?"
10374We have some trunks,Carolyn June said,"can we take them with us?"
10374Well, Sabota,he said at last,"th''Ramblin''Kid did n''t quite do his duty, did he?
10374Well, is the Quarter Circle KT getting up sand enough to go against old Thunderbolt again?
10374Well, it sure does seem like wherever women are trouble is, do n''t it?
10374Well, then, we will make it a free- for- all,Carolyn June said,"and--""How about the Ramblin''Kid?"
10374Well, you got through, did you?
10374Well?
10374What about th''other one-- Ophelia Cobb or whoever she is?
10374What all you aiming to gather?
10374What am I thinking?
10374What animal is that?
10374What are we going to do with that filly?
10374What are you and me going to do?
10374What are you tryin''to do?
10374What are_ you_ doin''here-- this time of night-- an''on that filly?
10374What did the-- the Ramblin''Kid do?
10374What did you catch her for?
10374What do you mean--''Sabota having th''Ramblin''Kid doped?''
10374What do you think you are--he started to say--"a bunch of lawyers cross- examinin''a witness?"
10374What do you want?
10374What do you want?
10374What does she mean?
10374What does that do to it?
10374What for?
10374What in thunder do you reckon Skinny''s been buying, now?
10374What in thunder does details amount to, anyhow?
10374What in thunderation''s that commotion?
10374What makes her that way?
10374What makes you think so?
10374What patients?
10374What shall we do about it?
10374What th''--Who left horses up last night?
10374What the devil-- are you trying to do-- choke me?
10374What they costin''a stack?
10374What was it over? 10374 What was the fight about?"
10374What was your idea in riding the Gold Dust maverick last night?
10374What would I want to lie about it for?
10374What you goin''to do?
10374What you going to do with the filly while we''re out on the beef hunt?
10374What you going to do?
10374What you tryin''to do? 10374 What''d I tell you?"
10374What''ll I do?
10374What''ll I have to do?
10374What''ll we do?
10374What''ll we tell them?
10374What''s happened to everybody?
10374What''s th''difference?
10374What''s that?
10374What''s that?
10374What''s the matter, Heart o''Gold?
10374What''s the matter, Skinny?
10374What''s the matter,Carolyn June laughed lightly,"--afraid of getting your''little tootsies''wet?"
10374What''s the matter?
10374What''s the matter?
10374What''s the matter?
10374What''s the matter?
10374What''s wrong?
10374What''s wrong?'' 10374 What?"
10374When are you going to ride the Gold Dust maverick?
10374When did he get mad about the cat?
10374When does the slaughter begin?
10374Where did he come from and who is he, anyway?
10374Where did you find out so much about women?
10374Where do we start in?
10374Where is Skinny?
10374Where you going?
10374Where''d you get yours that day?
10374Where''d you reckon th''Ramblin''Kid is?
10374Where''ll we go?
10374Where''s Old Heck?
10374Where''s Skinny and th''Ramblin''Kid?
10374Where?
10374Which do you suppose would lick?
10374Who else did you think we meant? 10374 Who is he, what''s his real name?"
10374Who is this for?
10374Who pays for the eggs? 10374 Who plays?"
10374Who told you?
10374Who''s it from?
10374Who''s she?
10374Who-- what-- is it?
10374Who-- who-- got married?
10374Why can I see him-- just him-- and not the others? 10374 Why did n''t you wait till to- day, so the rest of us could see how she acted?"
10374Why do n''t you and Old Heck fight a duel about Ophelia?
10374Why do n''t you help him?
10374Why do n''t you open it and see?
10374Why do n''t you run the outlaw filly?
10374Why do n''t you take her in when the Rodeo is on and run her in the sweepstakes then?
10374Why do n''t you yourself go with Pedro and Chuck?
10374Why not?
10374Why so sad?
10374Why, did n''t you know?
10374Why-- why-- don''t you come in and dance?
10374Why?
10374Why?
10374Wonder if he ai n''t going over to Battle Ridge to find out if it''s so about them sheep coming in over there?
10374Wonder if them women come?
10374Would she?
10374Yes,Dorsey replied;"is that satisfactory?"
10374Yes,Skinny explained,"the Greek had a feller named Gyp Streetor put some stuff in th''Ramblin?
10374You ai n''t sore at me or anything are you, Manilla?
10374You are,she retorted impatiently,"and you know it--""Do I?"
10374You ca n''t take the Chink from here this time, can you?
10374You do, and did all the time--"Did I?
10374You eat him?
10374You say you''ll turn the Y- Bar cattle over to me within fifteen days?
10374You want to stop at the preacher''s house?
10374You would n''t think she was one by looking at her, would you?
10374You would n''t want--"Did I say I wanted it?
10374You''re all right, yourself, are you?
10374You-- you-- and Ophelia married?
10374Yourself?
10374A quick resolution formed in her mind:"Nobody but the Ramblin''Kid could ride the filly?"
10374Ah, would she hold up her arm as she went down-- down-- and reach out her hand as if to wave the world a last, long farewell?
10374And why the day- and- day- about courting of yourself by Uncle Josiah and Parker?
10374And you knowed all the time that I was getting paid to make love to you?
10374Anyhow, well, they were having a good time and what was the use of bothering them?
10374As they started away Carolyn June asked:"Which way now, Uncle Josiah?"
10374At last, Skinny, handing a towel to Bert after drying his own sun- tanned face and hands, remarked inanely:"Chuck ai n''t come, has he?"
10374At the car, before his horse was fairly stopped, Chuck leaned over and asked, tensely:"Have any of you people seen th''Ramblin''Kid?"
10374Bert broke in;"was she pretty affectionate?"
10374Bert exclaimed as the cowboys started toward the stable,"did n''t the young one show her teeth sudden?"
10374But I suppose he ca n''t help it-- I wonder why men are always falling in love with me, anyhow?
10374But how does that come, anyhow?
10374But we''ll start the beef hunt Monday the way I said in the first place--""Who''s going to cook, this year, on the round- up?"
10374But which was it-- the first half?--the last half?
10374But-- oh, hell, what''s the difference?
10374Carolyn June called, suddenly whirling around on the piano stool as she finished the last bars of_ La Paloma_,"may I have a horse?"
10374Carolyn June laughed sympathetically,"ca n''t you either?"
10374Chuck said, still holding the bundle in his hand,"--ain''t it too early for lovers to bu''st up for the night?
10374Do n''t reckon you''ve taught Old Quicksilver to run yet, have you?"
10374Do you think our little''counterplot''was a success?"
10374Does Parker know?"
10374Down there?
10374Flip Williams interrupted,"ai n''t neither of you going to take part?"
10374Had it been run?
10374Has he come to-- to-- haunt me?"
10374He was only an ignorant rider of the range-- why trouble at all about him?
10374He was rewarded:"What do you know about''teleglams''?
10374Hell, what''s the use?"
10374Her eyes?
10374Her mouth?
10374His mouth, Carolyn June thought, showed a trace of cruelty-- or was it only firmness?
10374How could she know he was sleeping under the shed?
10374How long before it clutched at her throat?
10374How long had they been running?
10374How many times had they gone around the track?
10374How''s the Cimarron?
10374I suppose you''ll meet me half- way and receive the stock in Eagle Butte?"
10374I wonder what the Ramblin''Kid would say if he knew I was stealing your heart?"
10374If I do she can ride th''maverick When you an''her go on your honeymoon--""What''s a honeymoon?"
10374If I wanted to I could tell you more about what is in your mind than you yourself could tell--""Could you?"
10374In the mind of every cowboy on the ranch there was one thought unexpressed but very insistent that night,"Wonder what She looks like?"
10374Is dinner ready?"
10374Is he also to be a''Victim''?"
10374Is there one?"
10374It breathed the unfathomable strife of life-- of love, longing, hope, despair-- almost, yet subtly, elusively, would not tell the eternal"Why?"
10374It kept beating back:_ Th''sweepstakes-- th''race_--What time was it?
10374It''s up to Old Heck or Parker to represent Cupid to the widow--""Who the hell''s Cupid?"
10374Let''s see,"he added calculatingly,"how many Y- Bar cattle do you figure you''ve got running on the Vermejo range-- five thousand?"
10374Little Horse"--the Ramblin''Kid spoke tensely and without repression--"why ca n''t humans be as decent an''honest as you?"
10374Maybe alle samee somebody sickee?"
10374Old Heck asked suspiciously;"have you found out anything dangerous about that''Movement''or whatever it is Ophelia''s mixed up in?"
10374Old Heck asked uneasily,"what''s happened?
10374Old Heck asked, puzzled by the queer jumble coming from the lips of the Quarter Circle KT foreman,"and how crazy?"
10374Old Heck gasped,"what does it say?
10374Old Heck half groaned,"what-- what sort of a-- a--''Movement''did she say it was, anyhow?"
10374Old Heck turned the check slowly over in his hand and looked at it with a quizzical frown on his face:"I reckon this is good?"
10374Ophelia exclaimed, looking interested,"and is that the way they catch-- mavericks?"
10374Ophelia who?"
10374Parker interrupted hastily, looking more uneasy and foolish than ever;"why ai n''t he here?"
10374Resisting an officer?"
10374Sabota having th''Ramblin''Kid''doped''the day of the sweepstakes?"
10374She was to die alone, horribly, in the treacherous sands of the Cimarron?
10374Skinny asked Carolyn June as they stepped on to the porch,"take a ride?"
10374Skinny asked;"where''s Mike?"
10374Skinny said,"what''ll we do?"
10374So this was it?
10374So this was the end?
10374Starve me to death?"
10374Th''name of th''horse?
10374That makes the big race come Friday-- a week from next Friday, ai n''t it?"
10374The Mexican,"referring to Pedro,"will probably do some roping--""What about you and the Ramblin''Kid?"
10374The Ramblin''Kid saw it and the faintest hint of a smile showed on his lips-- or was the suggestion of amusement in the twinkling glance of his eyes?
10374The ladies with love kill quick when the love is-- what you call him?--the jilt?"
10374Then, speaking to Skinny:"They''ve already had their dinner and wo n''t be in till supper- time--""Are they cowboys?"
10374There are things to discuss--""Would you mind if I drove around to the court- house first?"
10374There was something-- what was it?
10374Vhy do n''t you do it if you''re so light on your feet?"
10374Was it a-- a-- stampede?
10374Well, now ai n''t that funny?"
10374What do you want to buy?"
10374What do you want with Sabota?"
10374What if she married him and then suddenly broke loose as a speech- maker or something for woman''s rights?
10374What was it?
10374What would he do with a wife if he had one?
10374What''ll he be in week?"
10374What''s he riding?"
10374What?
10374Where was he?
10374Where was he?
10374Where''s Skinny?
10374Where''s Skinny?"
10374Which one?
10374Who for?"
10374Why did n''t you say you were sick?
10374Why did she want to go and get things all mixed up like this?
10374Why is Skinny Rawlins thrown into my lap as my''regular''lover?
10374Why was n''t he in the bunk- house where he belonged?
10374Will you be waitin''?"
10374Will you keep faith an''be true, Carolyn June?
10374Will you keep faith an''be true--?
10374Wonder if Sing Pete has any around anywhere?"
10374Wonder if a feller could get any boot- leg liquor?"
10374Wonder what it''s about?"
10374Would he cross at the upper or lower ford?
10374Would the sand draw her down-- down-- until it covered her so none would ever know where or how she died?
10374Would they guess the thing that had happened?
10374Would they know?
10374You have him sugal-- how muchee you want?"
10374he must n''t forget_-- He fought his way to his feet and groped along back of the building-- the stall-- which way was it?
10374he said almost brutally,"play with me like you played with them other blamed idiots th''night of th''dance?"
10374she laughed,"you ca n''t help telling''em, can you?
10374the Ramblin''Kid laughed gently,"--you thought I was mean last night, did n''t you?"
10374the Ramblin''Kid queried with a note of scorn in his voice,"an''forget your sorrows?"
10374the lanky Missourian answered with a sly grin;"who said he put a gun on me-- or resisted an officer or anything?
10374the widow interrupted,"do you think he is one of the conspirators-- is in on the-- the--''frame- up?''
10374the widow repeated inquiringly,"just what does''framed''mean, my dear?"
10374thought better of it and with a careless laugh answered:"If you''re huntin''entertainment, why do n''t you go up to Eagle Butte to th''picture show?
10374what''s th''use of killin''just to kill?"
14171Ai n''t this Quicksand Creek?
14171Albeen heard him say it-- an''Dumont too?
14171An''--an''--my marriage was all a lie?
14171An''what if they mistook you for one of us?
14171An''when you two went up Escondido Cañon after the Mescaleros that had captured Miss Roubideau? 14171 And Joe Yankie-- does he stack up A 1 too?"
14171And then?
14171And yore sister wo n''t see it that way?
14171Any beard?
14171Any news, dad?
14171Anything wrong with that? 14171 Are n''t you takin''a heap of trouble on our account?"
14171Are you crazy?
14171Bad?
14171Billie is n''t wounded?
14171Billie, you''re sure, are n''t you?
14171Billie-- Dad, know anything about this big red steer?
14171But we ca n''t desert him, can we? 14171 Ca n''t you hear?
14171Ca n''t you see she''s tryin''to save you from murder?
14171Can we take the''Paches by surprise? 14171 Can you do it without being seen?"
14171Cayn''t you- all hear?
14171Clanton?
14171Come a right smart distance, I reckon?
14171Did Dave Roush an''Mysterious Pete seem pretty friendly?
14171Did he really kill Dave and Hugh Roush? 14171 Did he?"
14171Did n''t I tell you it was Billie Prince sent me? 14171 Did n''t you ever kill any one?"
14171Did ye think Dave Roush would marry a Clanton? 14171 Did you do this, Brad?
14171Did you ever hear this:''Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord''?
14171Did you kill Homer Webb?
14171Did you know that Dave Roush ruined his sister''s life in a fiendish way?
14171Did you notice the brand on the horse you''re ridin'', Jim?
14171Did you say he was n''t dead?
14171Do I get a gun if it comes to a showdown, Billie?
14171Do I look like a fool?
14171Do n''t I make a good deputy, Billie? 14171 Do n''t you reckon it will be settled peaceably?
14171Do n''t you reckon maybe you''ll have to feed me to the wolves after all, Billie?
14171Do n''t you think we''d better get him to bed?
14171Do n''t you? 14171 Do what?"
14171Do what?
14171Do you know how badly Clanton is hurt, Jack?
14171Do you know where Jack Goodheart is?
14171Do you mean that you think he''s going to die?
14171Do you think I''m double- crossin''you? 14171 Do you think there''s a chance, Jim?"
14171Do you want to do something for me?
14171Does he look like a killer?
14171Does your foot hurt you much?
14171Even if I tell you to git out of the country?
14171Ever meet a man named Micky Free out there?
14171From anywhere but here,"Meanin''that you''re here to stay?
14171Git my note?
14171Goin''somewheres, kid, or just ridin''?
14171Goin''to stick by Webb, are you?
14171Gone back on yore father and taken up with Webb''s scalawags, have you?
14171Had Clanton anything to do with it?
14171Have n''t you had any bringin''up?
14171Have you forgot who this guy is you''re arrestin''? 14171 Have you forgotten-- Polly?"
14171He did n''t mention you, did he?
14171He would n''t take it, would he?
14171He''s yore old side kick, too, ai n''t he?
14171How about a reward? 14171 How about pullin''a little strategy on Sanders, Jim?
14171How about you? 14171 How do you know she loves me?"
14171How do you know, son?
14171How does it happen that Snaith''s outfit have let Jim stay here without gettin''after him? 14171 How in Mexico did he happen to light on Snaith- McRobert stock?
14171How is he?
14171How many of us are goin''?
14171How many of''em do you make out?
14171How old?

14171Hungry, are you?
14171I do n''t aim to be noways inquisitive, Go- Get-''Em, but how come you to wait long enough to take this hawss- thief captive? 14171 I see you know all about it?"
14171I''m as stiff as a poker, am I?
14171I''m the foreman, if that''s what you mean?
14171If you get away, Jim, you_ will_ be good, wo n''t you?
14171If you wo n''t guess I''ll have to tell you Ever hear of the Clantons, Ranse Roush? 14171 Is Roush goin''to live?"
14171Is he badly hurt?
14171Is he badly hurt?
14171Is it generally known that Jim was the man who killed Warren?
14171Is it that you are afraid of what I''m goin''to be? 14171 Is it?"
14171Is it?
14171Is that you over there, Lee?
14171Is there goin''to be trouble between Mysterious Pete an''Jim?
14171Is there-- some one else? 14171 Is yore paw home, Miss Lee?"
14171It''s Billie Prince, then, is it?

14171Say, Billie, how much bacon do you reckon we need to take with us?
14171Say, Daniel Boone ai n''t got a thing on yore friend, has he? 14171 Say, is that any of yore business, Mr. Deputy Sheriff?"
14171Say, what about Billie? 14171 Say, what are you insinuatin''?"
14171Say, will you tell yore dad not to do that again? 14171 Seen anything of the old man, Jim?"
14171Shoot- a- Buck Cañon-- how''ll that do for a name?
14171Since when?
14171Sure, Jack?
14171Sure?
14171That so?
14171That''s a right good reason, ai n''t it?
14171The bullet did not strike an artery, then?
14171Then these are''Paches too?
14171Then why do n''t you kiss me, goose?
14171Think I was goin''to let''em plug Tim McGrath an''get away with it?
14171Think I''m a quitter? 14171 Think we were born yesterday?

14171What are you goin''to do with me?
14171What are you going to do, dad?
14171What are you going to do?
14171What chance did they give poor Tim, I''d like to know? 14171 What did you ever see me do to give you the notion that I was yellow, Bancock?"
14171What do you mean, standing there and grinnin''at me like a wolf, Dave Roush? 14171 What do you mean-- trouble with the Snaith- McRobert outfit?"
14171What do you want us for?
14171What do you want with him?
14171What for?
14171What is it you want? 14171 What kind of a trial?"
14171What will he do?
14171What will you do with them, if you do?
14171What you payin''?
14171What''d you say your name was, sissie?
14171What''ll you do to prevent my goin''?

14171What''s yore notion? 14171 What''s your name?"

14171When is it to be?
14171Where are Albeen and-- Roush?
14171Where are our boys holed up?
14171Where are we, Billie?
14171Where are yore folks?
14171Where are you from?
14171Where can I find Homer Webb?
14171Where can I find Polly?
14171Where did you come from?

14171Who?
14171Whose money?
14171Why ca n''t you boys get along peaceable with Joe, I''d like to know? 14171 Why ca n''t you?"
14171Why demand it? 14171 Why did n''t I take another crack at him when I had the chance?"
14171Why did n''t you stay there?
14171Why do n''t you act reasonable an''ride back to town, like a girl ought to do? 14171 Why do n''t you get back where you were?
14171Why do n''t you keep his face sponged? 14171 Why not just arrest''em an''hold''em at Bluewater till we find whether their story is true?"
14171Why not? 14171 Why would n''t he say so?
14171Whyfor are you dodgin''back of the bar, Hugh Roush? 14171 Whyfor must I take you there if I tell you where to go?"
14171Will he wait? 14171 Will it be dangerous?"
14171Would I be likely to think that?
14171Would a man have to wait for the reward until Clanton was convicted?
14171Would n''t you? 14171 Would you like me to do it now?"
14171Would you-- would you like to kiss me?
14171Yankie up at the ranch?
14171You ai n''t expectin''to ride our stock on this fool chase, are you?
14171You ai n''t havin''no truck with Dave Roush are you? 14171 You boys ride for the Flying V Y, do n''t you?"
14171You ca n''t stay there the rest of yore natural life, can you?
14171You can read, ca n''t you, Sanders?
14171You did n''t leave this man alone overnight with that bunch of beeves for Major Strong?
14171You did? 14171 You know Billie?"
14171You like me?
14171You mean kissed you?
14171You mean you''ve killed Peg- Leg Warren?
14171You quit takin''chances with blizzards an''crazy gunmen an''--"--And horsethieves hidden in the chaparral?
14171You thought.... How did you know they were comin''?
14171You used to think Lee was the only girl, did n''t you?
14171You was just kind o''jokin'', was n''t you?
14171You were hiding in Live- Oaks?
14171You wo n''t take that offer, then?
14171You would n''t take advantage of me, would you?
14171You''ll never forgit me, Bud? 14171 You''re bound to be in this, are n''t you?"
14171You''re goin''down about this Webb murder?
14171You''re threatenin''me, eh?
14171You''re to get the reward, are n''t you?
14171You-- you killed Ranse?
14171Yours or mine?
14171A girl like you, Miss Roubideau, has got no business stickin''up for a bad man who--""Did n''t you hear me?
14171Ai n''t it mine?"
14171Ai n''t odds of two to one good enough for you-- an''that one only a kid-- without you runnin''to cover like the coyote you are?
14171An?
14171And if they were convinced of its truth, what difference would that make?
14171Another showdown?"
14171Are n''t you doing it because you''ve been called to it and not because you like it?"
14171Are these''Paches liable to make us any trouble?"
14171Are you afraid of him?"
14171Are you game to play a lone hand, kid?"
14171Are you lookin''for trouble?"
14171Are you never wrong yourself?"
14171Are you the sheriff of Washington County, ma''am?"
14171Are you with me, boys?"
14171But do n''t you get lonesome?"
14171But you do n''t suppose that would keep him from accepting the job, do you?"
14171Ca n''t you make allowance for other folks''judgment being different from yours?
14171Ca n''t you see that?
14171Ca n''t you trust yore life with me?
14171Can you keep a secret?"
14171Cayn''t you get it through yore cocoanut that we''ve got to stand by our pardners?"
14171Could you give me something to help him forget the pain an''the fever?"
14171D''ye mean you''ve taken up with a pair of killers, of outlaws we''re goin''to put out of business?
14171Did I fall off my hawss?"
14171Did he dare to find amusement in her?
14171Did n''t you have all the breaks?
14171Did she love him?
14171Did yore folks find him?"
14171Did you, Dave?"
14171Do n''t you know better than to ask such questions?"
14171Do n''t you see that?
14171Do n''t you- all nevah git tired?"
14171Do you claim I rustled that bunch of beeves last night?"
14171Do you hear?"
14171Do you think you can get us horses an''some food without tellin''anybody what for?"
14171Do you want an open an''shut cinch?"
14171Do you want to be sheriff?
14171Does Jack or the other guard sit up and watch you all the time?"
14171Does that listen good to you?"
14171Had he discovered that his prisoner was free?
14171Had these men arranged to deliver him into the hands of Clanton?
14171Have n''t I slept on their trail four years?
14171Have n''t you noticed it?
14171Have you got the makin''s with you, Billie?"
14171He fought fair, did n''t he?
14171Hit ai n''t likely, is it?"
14171How are things a- stackin'', Joe?"
14171How come you alive again?
14171How could he tell Lee that Pauline had deliberately misled him to give Clanton a better chance of escape?
14171How much of this buffeting, she wondered, could one endure and live?
14171How''re you goin''to manage it?"
14171If Roush was the man who had tiptoed toward the horse in the pines, why had he not made sure first by shooting Albeen while he slept?
14171Is he up again?"
14171Is it going to make you so awfully happy to spend your time running down outlaws for the good of the country?
14171Is it true?"
14171Is n''t that enough?"
14171Is that it?"
14171Is there a white man here that blames him for it?"
14171Is there any other way into the cañon?"
14171Is there some one else you love?"
14171It is a name we shall remember in our prayers, n''est- ce pas, Polly?"
14171It_ is_ the sixth, ai n''t it?"
14171My little Polly, have you not save her?
14171N''est- ce pas, Polly?"
14171No matter what happens, you''ll-- you''ll not hate me?"
14171Not meetin''up with him on the sly?"
14171Now you slide out of the back door, slap a saddle on your bronc, an''hit the high spots out of here,""And Clanton?"
14171Or ought n''t I to ask that?"
14171Or was he a good man to let alone when one was looking for trouble?
14171Or was it you?"
14171Or would his obstinacy prevail?
14171Say, ai n''t I due for one of them sleep powders Doc fixed up so careful?"
14171Sheriff?"
14171That right, Pete?"
14171They ca n''t hang me if I ai n''t there, can they?"
14171Think I''m goin''to lie down on you?"
14171Un''erstand?
14171Understand?
14171Understand?"
14171Want to go along?"
14171Was he himself going to fall into the pit he had dug?
14171Was he laughing at her?
14171Was it his imagination that found in her an unwonted shyness of the dark eyes, a gentle timidity of manner when she looked at him?
14171Was it likely that anything she could say would have weight with him?
14171Was it reasonable to suppose that she would give her love to a penniless puncher of twenty- eight, lank as a shad, with no recommendation but honesty?
14171Was she going to die?
14171Was some one with you, sis?"
14171Was this young Thursday a false alarm?
14171We ca n''t let those red devils take her away, can we?"
14171Webb, hard- eyed and stiff, looked at the young man,"Had a pleasant vacation, Clanton?"
14171Well, what if you had n''t had any guns?"
14171Whad you want?"
14171What can we do about them?"
14171What could two boys do against half a dozen wily savages?
14171What did you do?
14171What kind of a fellow do you think I am?
14171What more do you want?"
14171What motive could be powerful enough with a boy of fourteen to sway so completely his whole life toward vengeance?
14171What plan have you to get away?"
14171What right had he to ask those who remained loyal to him to sacrifice so often their sense of right in his favor?
14171What right had he to cut her off from the things that made life tolerable?
14171What then?"
14171What''s ailin''you?"
14171What''s one little-- bullet in the shoulder, Billie?
14171What''s the sense of you comin''right up to me when you see they''re shootin''at me?"
14171What''s troublin you, anyhow?
14171What''s yore name, kid?"
14171What''s yore name?"
14171When?"
14171Where did they hit you, Jim?"
14171Where is Clanton''s hang- out?"
14171Where''s Dave?"
14171Where''s the other man?"
14171Who are you?"
14171Who is yore friend that saw the boys?"
14171Who knows into what an agony of fear and remorse and black despair she fell?
14171Who told you to do that?"
14171Why did n''t your friends tell them so?"
14171Why did they find him guilty?"
14171Why do you load him down with chains?
14171Why had he done this wanton and lawless thing?
14171Why not just ask for it?"
14171Why not throw off an''camp in the darkness?
14171Why not?"
14171Why should n''t I be here when Lee Snaith is lost?"
14171Why?
14171Why?"
14171Whyfor ca n''t I climb on its back an''ride?"
14171Whyfor should I take any chances with the Snaith- McRobert outfit when I ai n''t got a thing in the world against them?"
14171Whyfor should you like me?"
14171Will you come?"
14171Will you nurse me real tender, ma''am, if I get stove up pullin''off a grand- stand play like they done?"
14171Would Jack think that she had conspired against his honor in an underhanded way?
14171Would he cast her off and have no more to do with her?
14171Would he justify their faith in him?
14171Would it stand without breaking this new test of its strength?
14171Would the old man guess that he had been in the saddle all night?
14171Would the wounded man accept his lead?
14171Would they believe the story she told?
14171You do n''t mean right away, Albeen, do you?"
14171You feel that about him, do n''t you?"
14171You know him, do n''t you, Jim?"
14171You never have liked me very well, but--""Have n''t I?"
14171You will, wo n''t you?"
14171You wo n''t feel bad, will you?"
14171You''ll not hate me-- you''ll remember I allus thought a heap of you, Jimmie?"
14171You''ll use it, wo n''t you?"
14171You''re at the Proctor House, are n''t you?"
14171You''re givin''them their job, ai n''t you?"
14171the sick man asked; then added:"How did we get away from''em?"
17844A bit, though?
17844A cattle- man, and not refresh yourself with good liquor? 17844 A real one?"
17844A writer?
17844Absolutely none?
17844Afraid of what?
17844Ai n''t that a hoss- carcass?
17844Ai n''t that an island, that brown patch out there, pretty well over to the other side? 17844 Am I to-- to stay with you?"
17844Am I-- mad?
17844Am I-- young? 17844 And I--"he queried,"are you afraid of me?"
17844And alone?
17844And he does n''t intend ever to return?
17844And he never found it?
17844And never-- marry him?
17844And should I refuse?
17844And what are you going to do now?
17844And what is its meaning?
17844And why, if you please, should it be more remarkable that I am unhappy than another?
17844And you just-- tell of it?
17844And you understand?
17844And you were not serious when you refused to talk with me?
17844And you will sail with me in ten days?
17844And, by the way, while you''re about it, is he six or sixty? 17844 And-- the man who shot him?"
17844Anything else, son?
17844Anything you wish to say, Benjamin?
17844Are n''t you going to build a fire?
17844Are n''t you going to give me what''s coming?
17844Are n''t you going to kiss me first, Benjamin?
17844Are n''t you happy here, Flossie?
17844Are you against me, too, little girl?
17844Are you angry with me yet?
17844Are you cold, son?
17844Are you hunting Indians or bear?
17844Are you in earnest, Chad,he queried,"or are you just drawing me out?"
17844Are you sick, mamma?
17844Are you too busy to take a ride with me? 17844 Are you up?"
17844Are you very sick, mamma?
17844Are you very sorry?
17844Are you with me, whatever I order?
17844Baker,he asked at last,"what are we going to do for the education of these youngsters of ours?
17844Been some time, has n''t it, since you surprised your stomach with anything like this?
17844Ben Blair,she repeated intensely,"Ben Blair, ca n''t you understand what I meant?
17844Ben, Ben,she wailed,"why did you ever let me come here?
17844Ben, I suppose you mean?
17844Ben,he said at last,"did Mr. Baker hire you to break his horses?
17844Blair?
17844But I can listen, ca n''t I?
17844But first, you''re sure you wo n''t have something more-- an ice, a wee bottle-- anything?
17844But how did you come to get him? 17844 But what?"
17844But why?
17844By the bye,he challenged,"what is it we have to say, anyway?
17844By the way, how are you coming on with your own affair of the heart? 17844 By the way, who is this wonderful being, this Sidwell, I''ve heard so much about the last few hours?"
17844By the way,--Scotty returned the glasses to his nose and sprung the bows over his ears with a snap,--"what day was it that Blair left?
17844By the way,she asked,"where are we going to stay when we arrive, and for how long?"
17844By what right do you ask that?
17844Ca n''t you give me just a little more credit, Mick?
17844Ca n''t you love me in return? 17844 Ca n''t you think of anything that would interest you and broaden your life enough to make it pleasant?"
17844Ca n''t you write a note explaining, and postpone the visit until some other time?
17844Can I help you up?
17844Can you make a fire?
17844Can you tell me whether Mr. Rankin is at home?
17844Cards?
17844Cards?
17844Cards?
17844Care for you? 17844 Care for you?"
17844Carry that, will you?
17844Cattle raising, perhaps?
17844Cold, ai n''t you? 17844 Daddy,"said a pleading voice,"do n''t you-- care for me any more?"
17844Dead?
17844Dead?
17844Did I ever say I would do anything that I did not do?
17844Did it never occur to you that at this particular time I might decide not to go?
17844Did n''t you hear me?
17844Did you ever think how much sport we could have if we owned a couple of hounds?
17844Digging what?
17844Do n''t Mr. Rankin, or-- or anyone-- play with you?
17844Do you mean that seriously?
17844Do you mean you''re really going to get married at last?
17844Do you really believe that?
17844Do you still think I''m afraid?
17844Do you suppose we''d find anything left when we came back in the Spring?
17844Do you wish a third party to hear what we have to say?
17844Do you wonder I want to change, that I want to leave these prairies, much as I like them?
17844Do you wonder,he concluded,"that I am not happy?"
17844Do you,he insinuated gently,"consider the reason she gave an adequate one?
17844Do you?
17844Does any other man doubt me?
17844Does he go it alone up at his ranch?
17844Does he handle the pasteboards?
17844Ever been out there?
17844Ever hear of Gilbert, did you?
17844First of all, then,he went on,"you will admit you were mistaken when you said there was no point where we touched?"
17844Florence Baker, did I ever lie to you?
17844Florence Baker,he said,"on your honor, is he worth it-- is he worth the sacrifice you ask of me?
17844Florence, are you listening?
17844Florence, are you well?
17844Florence,he cried,"are you playing with me?"
17844Florence,said the youth steadily,"I had something more I wished to say to you; will you listen?"
17844For good, you say?
17844For some pet?
17844Forgotten already, was n''t I?
17844Found the horses yet?
17844Got any plan, Kennedy?
17844Got much of a herd, has he?
17844Grannis,he asked directly,"have those horses been taken care of?"
17844He is gone, and you--"I beg your pardon, Mr. Sidwell,interrupted the other,"but suppose we change the subject?"
17844He''s still the big man of the country, I presume?
17844Honestly, now, am I liable to be-- done for, or not?
17844How about it, Bill?
17844How did it happen-- the fire and your mother''s death?
17844How did you know?
17844How do you know I would n''t?
17844How does it happen you''re on him instead of the other?
17844How many of you boys remembers Tom Blair?
17844How much am I hurt, Grannis?
17844How much longer are you going to keep that negro waiting?
17844How were you thinking of going, son?
17844How would it do to move into civilization six months of the year-- the Winter six?
17844How''s it come your name is Blair?
17844How''s the old ranch?
17844I beg your pardon?
17844I dare? 17844 I dare?"
17844I did-- almost, this time, did n''t I?
17844I know Ben''s going would be all right with you, Baker,he explained at last,"but how about your wife?
17844I loved you all the time!--loved you!--and yet I so nearly-- can you ever forgive me?
17844I suppose you have an idea who made that trail?
17844I''d like to ask for information, who is if you ai n''t?
17844I''ve a question to ask you, Rankin; may I ask it without offence?
17844If it were an old fellow like me--"Mr. Baker, I thought you said you really wished me to sit down and chat awhile?
17844If it''s a fair question,he asked,"why do I merit your sympathy?"
17844If the matter were already settled, it would be too late to consider the advisability of the move, would n''t it?
17844Impossible? 17844 In heaven''s name, then,"he said, slowly,"why do you allow it?
17844In other words, is a tragedy any less a tragedy, any more public property, because the actors are dead? 17844 In other words, you expect to take me against my will,--by physical force?"
17844Is n''t the club grill- room good enough for you?
17844Is that all you wished to say?
17844Is that so? 17844 Is that what you stayed to find out?"
17844Is that what you want to tell me? 17844 Is there anything I can do for you, mamma?"
17844It was in the no''thwest you say, and seemed to be quite a way off?
17844It''s early, did you say?
17844It''s funny, is n''t it?
17844Jennie,he said, not unkindly,"Jennie, what''s the matter?"
17844Just for old time''s sake? 17844 Keep awake and call me before daylight, will you?"
17844Looked, have you?
17844Mamma,the child repeated, gently shaking his mother''s shoulder,"wo n''t you let me help myself?"
17844Mr. Baker,he said,"you do not doubt that I love Florence-- that I wish nothing but her good?"
17844My boy,he asked in reply,"were you ever married?"
17844Not if they knew you were very sick, mamma?
17844Nothing to bother about, I judge?
17844Oh, why could n''t I have met you somewhere else, under different circumstances?
17844On your honor, you swear you do not?
17844On your honor?
17844Papa introduced you to Mr. Sidwell, I suppose?
17844Read what, please?
17844Say, Mister,he ventured,"give me a pass to the show, will you?"
17844Serious?
17844Seriously, though,said Scotty, after a moment,"and as long as I''ve told you anyway, what ought I to do under the circumstances?
17844Shall I give her a name?
17844Shall we or shall we not? 17844 She told you-- what-- you say?"
17844She''d laugh at me, you think?
17844Since when did I become your slave, Tom Blair?
17844Since when did you become my owner, body and soul?
17844Since when, pray, has that exalted state of the consciousness begun to inspire terror in you? 17844 Sit down, wo n''t you?"
17844Something?
17844Suppose I should ask it as a favor?
17844Suppose I should decline?
17844Sure?
17844Tell me about him, wo n''t you?
17844Tell me, Rankin,he began,"who is the new- comer, and where did you get him?"
17844That''s all of the story, is it?
17844The others are here too?
17844Think I ought to, Alec?
17844Tighten the cinch a bit, wo n''t you, Ben? 17844 Upon what, if you please, do you base your opinion?"
17844Was it consideration for me that kept you away?
17844Well, what happened?
17844Well,he queried,"what do you think of it?"
17844Well?
17844Were''they''the cowboys?
17844What am I afraid of?
17844What are you doing?
17844What are you going to do with me?
17844What do I owe you altogether, Mick?
17844What do you intend doing?
17844What do you think would be the result? 17844 What happened after they-- got me last night?"
17844What happened? 17844 What if I should refute your theory?"
17844What is it, Ben?
17844What is it, then?
17844What kind of a fellow is he, anyway?
17844What made you stop Mr. Sidwell, papa?
17844What name does your friend give to his work?
17844What part, pray, did he take?
17844What ranch, if I may ask?
17844What speaks the oracle?
17844What time did you see them last, Hoyt?
17844What time was it you saw that smoke, Grannis?
17844What was it, then? 17844 What''d Rankin say?"
17844What''ll you give for him?
17844What''ll you have?
17844What''s the matter with your clothes, Ben?
17844What''s the matter?
17844What''s the matter?
17844What,the boy''s hands went back into his pockets,"what would n''t anyone do, then?"
17844What?
17844When was this mailed?
17844Where am I, Grannis?
17844Where are you going, sonny?
17844Where are you going?
17844Where d''ye suppose the trouble could have been, Graham?
17844Where do you live?
17844Where do you want to go?
17844Where in heaven''s name did you come from? 17844 Where''s Tom Blair, young man?"
17844Where? 17844 Where?"
17844Who be you, anyway, and where''d you come from?
17844Who, if I might ask, invited you to come this way?
17844Why ai n''t there anything to eat, mamma?
17844Why could n''t your mother have been-- different?
17844Why did n''t you let him come in?
17844Why do n''t somebody step in?
17844Why do you wish to know, sir?
17844Why is it that you leave those friends to come here? 17844 Why not, mamma?"
17844Why not, mamma?
17844Why not?
17844Why not?
17844Why so?
17844Why so?
17844Why this sudden change of front?
17844Why, if I may ask?
17844Why,he was leaning a bit forward, his elbow on his knee,"why, Florence Baker, have you done everything in your power to prevent my seeing you?
17844Why?
17844Why?
17844Why?
17844Why?
17844Will you leave your card?
17844Winston Hough,he challenged,"do you wish to remain my friend?"
17844Without an explanation?
17844Wo n''t you be seated?
17844Wo n''t you be seated?
17844Wo n''t you even condescend to suggest channels in which my discourse may flow?
17844Wo n''t you forgive me?
17844Wo n''t you let me help myself, then, mamma?
17844Wo n''t you sit down?
17844Would you like me to return the compliment?
17844Would you like to hear my reasons now?
17844Would you mind telling me why you refuse?
17844Would you really-- like me to?
17844You accept, do you?
17844You are quite sure?
17844You care for me-- you are willing to go-- because you love me?
17844You cut me out?
17844You dare recall that memory, Tom Blair?
17844You do n''t really mean that you want any of those hungry- looking dogs around, do you, Flossie?
17844You do n''t want to stay long?
17844You expect to do nothing more, then?
17844You expect to keep on ranching, then?
17844You have asked her, have you?
17844You have n''t written an answer yet, I judge?
17844You heard who I said would be in charge while I''m away?
17844You knew Jennie Blair, did you?
17844You knew why I came to town, did you not?
17844You know McFadden?
17844You know that my son stands listening, and yet you dare throw my coming to you in my face?
17844You know what Sidwell is-- what the result will be if Florence marries him?
17844You like the city, your new life, as well as you expected, I trust?
17844You mean the big man, sir?
17844You mean we''re to let him go?
17844You really are interested, then? 17844 You really imagine I will do such an unheard- of thing?"
17844You really wish me to chatter on in this way?
17844You remember, then, that you made me a certain promise?
17844You say you and papa evolved this programme?
17844You think he would not follow?
17844You think it''s the duty of some intimate to perform the kindness of this-- touching up process occasionally, do you?
17844You took in the whole show then?
17844You want me to be frank, brutally frank, once more?
17844You wish to know-- what did you say, Ben?
17844You wo n''t be offended if I refuse?
17844You wo n''t be offended, Mr. Sidwell, if I ask you a question?
17844You wo n''t give me more?
17844You''d be willing to help, would you,he suggested,"if you saw a way?"
17844You''d like to hear now what I have to say?
17844You''d really like to know?
17844You''ll-- tell her yourself, you say?
17844You''re quite sure you want to bury your mother here?
17844You''re_ it_, ai n''t you?
17844You''ve talked with her, have you?
17844You?
17844Your mother, then, where is she?
17844Again, problem more difficult, could it be possible that the condition in which they existed was life?
17844Ah, could it be possible-- could it?
17844And Florence Baker, at whom he had glanced?
17844Are n''t you a married man with an ark of refuge always waiting?"
17844Are you prepared to listen?"
17844Are you ready?"
17844Are you ready?"
17844Are you so anxious to get rid of your daughter?"
17844Are you, Florence''s father, going to let her marry Sidwell?"
17844At least you smoke?"
17844At once-- do you hear?"
17844Baker?"
17844Blair?"
17844Blair?"
17844But why, feeling as you must have felt and must still feel, since you''re here, why do you wish to educate this waif boy you''ve picked up?
17844But why, pray?
17844CHAPTER XXV OF WHAT AVAIL?
17844Ca n''t you hear?"
17844Complex product of the higher civilization, mixture of good and bad, who knows what thoughts were running riot in his brain?
17844Could it be possible the petition had not been heard?
17844Could these contrasts be forever continued?
17844Did it happen to be Friday?"
17844Did the gentleman ever attempt to kidnap you-- or anything?"
17844Did you or did you not keep your promise?"
17844Do n''t you remember?"
17844Do you consider that it had any rightful place in the discussion?"
17844Do you doubt that?"
17844Do you intend, without trying to prevent it, to let your daughter throw away her every chance of future happiness?
17844Do you know exactly when you''ll want him?"
17844Do you see?"
17844Do you see?"
17844Do you see?"
17844Do you think I do n''t care for you as much as though my home were in a town?"
17844For what reason had it been so carefully removed?
17844Going to reform again, or something of that kind, are you?"
17844Had they really hit the man out there, as they hoped, or was he, conscious of a trick, merely lying low?
17844Has-- has this been planned?"
17844Have you forgotten that it is only three days until the date set?
17844Have you propounded the momentous question to the lady?"
17844He was himself helpless; he must seek outside aid-- but where?
17844How about it?"
17844I know I''m not supposed to say these things, but why not?
17844Is it not so?"
17844Is it not so?"
17844Is n''t he, mamma?"
17844It''s been ten years now since he disappeared, has n''t it?"
17844Just speaking of you, were n''t we?"
17844Kind enough to deserve commemoration by a taste of the elixir of life, do n''t you agree?"
17844Knowing this, wo n''t you at my request cease going with this man?
17844Must I put it into words?"
17844Nothing I can do for you, is there?"
17844OF WHAT AVAIL?
17844Shall you be in the city long?"
17844Should I let Blair off, do you think?"
17844Sidwell?"
17844Something-- yes, but what?
17844That I should paint a daub like that?"
17844They drank; and then Sidwell looking at Hough said,"Well, what is it this time?
17844To be sure, he was still alive; but what of the future?
17844Was he enjoying his present life?
17844Wealth, power, notoriety-- what were they?
17844Were you in love, and he cold-- or the reverse?"
17844What answer could he give?
17844What do you say to our packing up our dinner, taking the elevated, and spending the day in the country?
17844What do you suppose he''s got in his cranium now?"
17844What do you think of it-- this roof- garden, and things in general?"
17844What have I done of late, what have I ever done, to deserve this treatment from you?"
17844What is it an answer to, please?
17844What name was it that had been in those hundreds of volumes?
17844What satisfaction was it, if in taking the life of the other man it cost him his own?
17844What say you, Mollie?"
17844What would you have done if you''d been in my place?"
17844What''s the use of saying anything whatever about the boy''s connections?
17844What?
17844Where was his mother now?
17844Who could tell?
17844Why did he wish to know?
17844Why did you-- let me up?"
17844Why do you find pleasure in taking me about as you do?
17844Why do you want to do this?"
17844Why do you want to go?"
17844Why do you want to leave?"
17844Why is it?"
17844Why should he be called Blair?
17844Why, having gotten safely away, having successfully hidden himself, had he ever returned?
17844Will this do instead?"
17844Will you give it?"
17844Will you go with me as my wife?"
17844Wo n''t you get it for me?"
17844Wo n''t you listen?"
17844Wo n''t you refuse his invitation for to- night?"
17844Would they be permitted to exist indefinitely side by side?
17844Would you truly like to know-- what you asked?"
17844Yes or no?"
17844You remember the last time I saw you?"
17844You wo n''t give it away?"
17844he ejaculated slowly;"where''d you drop down from?"
17844he said,--and such was now the silence that a whisper would have been audible,--"Tom Blair, have you anything you wish to say?"
17844she said, in mock despair;"you dropped it the first time, did n''t you?"
19330About-- his case? 19330 An''what did ye fetch to bring him_ to_ wid?"
19330And what is my tall girlie doing, spiering from windows this time of night? 19330 Angela-- where?"
19330Are there particulars, colonel-- anybody killed or wounded?
19330Are you mad-- or what? 19330 Ask her?"
19330Brought who in?
19330But could you send a scout at once to the Tonto basin?
19330But do n''t you think she''d like to see me just a little while, Miss Wren?
19330But who did it? 19330 But who ever heard of Apaches taking a man''s watch and leaving-- him?"
19330But, Clarice, how?
19330Ca n''t you, as post surgeon, tell him he is n''t fit to ride?
19330Can I see the captain?
19330Can I speak with him? 19330 Can she not be locked at the hospital, under the eye of the matron, with double sentries?
19330Can you go for him?
19330Can you not be content at home, my child?
19330Could_ she_ have done that?
19330Couldn''t-- you hear''em, lieutenant?
19330D''you mean you''d have this girl squatting there by Blakely''s bedside the rest of the night?
19330D''you mean you''re going to_ see_ him?--speak to him?
19330Did you-- hear her singing-- too?
19330Do you mean-- someone''s coming?
19330Dr. Graham, when will Mr. Blakely be able to see-- or read?
19330Found anything, sergeant?
19330From Sandy?
19330Gone? 19330 Has she worried you?"
19330Have you seen any?
19330Hear?--Who?
19330Heard you that now?
19330How is he?
19330I''m asking was there anyone else?
19330I_ did_!--when?
19330If he is n''t in his quarters, shall I send a party out in search, sir?
19330Is Captain Wren still up?
19330Is n''t that rather-- unsafe?
19330Is that wretch, Downs, sober yet?
19330Is the doctor here-- or Steward Griffin?
19330May I offer you a chair?
19330May I read it?
19330Of what can you possibly be thinking, Major Plume?
19330R- robert Wren,said he, as he entered, unknocking and unannounced,"will ye listen to this?
19330Say, ai nt this just a corker?
19330See anything of any of the lieutenant''s property? 19330 Seen any lights or fire?"
19330Shield-- Raven Shield?
19330The lady''s very bad, is she?
19330The question is, Blakely,remarked Captain Westervelt dryly,"will you go to Frisco to refit now, or wait till Congress reimburses?"
19330The question is, Bugs,burst in young Doty irrepressibly,"will you wear this rig, or Apache full dress, when you ride after Wren?
19330They would n''t spake,said he,"so what could I do but pull the shawl from the face of her to see could she be recognized?"
19330Truman,said he,"how much of a pack train have you got left?"
19330W- whocomesthere?
19330Was it Blakely told you all this, sir?
19330Wh- where''s Miss Angela?
19330What am I to tell Blakely?
19330What do you make of it all?
19330What do you want?
19330What is it?
19330What on earth can Nixon want?
19330What the devil do you mean, Graham?
19330What was it?
19330What was the matter, Mr. Daly? 19330 What was to prevent her from knifing the Bugologist and Angela both, when she had''em?"
19330What will be the outcome? 19330 What word to Elise?"
19330What''s the immediate need of a scout?
19330What''s to prevent her singing their confounded death song, or invoking heathen spirits, or knifing us all, for that matter?
19330What?
19330When did this happen?
19330When-- and where?
19330When?
19330Where is it now?
19330Where''re the men?
19330Where''s Angela?
19330Who gave you this whisky?
19330Who was that with you?
19330Who was the creature?
19330Who? 19330 Why ca n''t the girl be quiet?"
19330Why did you bring him_ here_, then?
19330Why, Mrs. Bridger, are you sure?
19330Why?
19330Will you say to Miss Angela that I have come as I promised? 19330 Will you see Miss Angela, please?"
19330Will you tell me?
19330Will you wait-- one moment?
19330Wo n''t the captain ride with us-- now?
19330You heard me, did you not? 19330 You mean to tell me you didn''t-- you were n''t there till after-- the cry?"
19330You will permit me to appeal by wire, sir?
19330_ Who_ are you?
193304?
193304?"
19330A-- what time did-- Angela return?"
19330After a painful moment came the response:"Or-- take the consequences, major?"
19330Ah, will you smoke, colonel?"
19330And had he observed anything unusual?
19330And why?
19330Anything disturbing you out here?"
19330Are we ever quite content, I wonder, that others''bairnies should be so speedily, so entirely, forgiven?
19330Arnold?"
19330Because one sentry has a scuffle with some night prowler is the next to lose his nerve?
19330Before she could utter a word, the father questioned:"Angela, my child, have you seen Mr. Blakely this afternoon?"
19330Blakely?
19330But how could she ask such a thing of him?
19330But was it?
19330But what should an army doctor know of an Apache Indian?
19330But who could say what, all this while, Angela herself was thinking?
19330But, said Camp Sandy, who could it have been but Mrs. Plume or, possibly, Elise?
19330By the way, was much of Blakely''s property-- er-- rescued-- or recovered?"
19330CHAPTER XIII WHOSE LETTERS?
19330CHAPTER XIII WHOSE LETTERS?
19330CHAPTER XX WHERE IS ANGELA?
19330Ca n''t you, as post commander, tell him you forbid his going till you hear from Byrne and investigate the fire?"
19330Can I see her?"
19330Could they have dared waylay the major-- and so close to the post?
19330Could they possibly send a surgeon at once?
19330Could this be the fierce, lissome, panther- like creature before whose blow two of their stoutest men had fallen?
19330Could this be their mountain princess-- the daring, the resolute, the commanding?
19330Did n''t he send his card down to you, after the donicks, and be damned to him?
19330Did you hear it?"
19330Dispatch, is it?
19330Do you wish to compel me to take her away?"
19330Do you,"with a glance of grim disfavor,"need this girl for the moment?
19330Doors and windows were all wide open here, what was to prevent?
19330Downs was gone, that was certain, and the question was, which way?
19330Gone how?"
19330Gone where?
19330Had Plume investigated?
19330Had n''t he seen the major?
19330Had she other lodge than that which gave him shelter, now that his own was burned?
19330Had they got warning of the approach of some strong force of soldiery-- Brewster scouting in search of them, or may be Sanders himself?
19330Had you seen no one else?"
19330He faltered a bit before he asked:"Did Blakely seem all right?--not used up, I mean?"
19330He was wondering would the officer of the day"come nosin''round"within that time, asking him his orders, and was everything all right on his post?
19330How could Blakely be supposed to know aught of her or of the household bidden to treat him practically as a stranger?
19330How could he have gone into the spare room at Captain Wren''s, and there made his home as-- she-- Mrs. Plume had first suggested?
19330How could he own to his post commander that he was scared?
19330How could she, after that?
19330How d''you find him?"
19330How do you expect to avoid him?"
19330How far did you follow the tracks?"
19330How much whisky had he missed?
19330I asked you did you see anyone else during-- along the sentry post when you went out?"
19330I suppose you heard?"
19330If spoken at all it must be here and now, yet how could she-- how could_ she_ ask_ him_?
19330If the hounds, they were in search of something to eat, and in either case why bother about it?
19330If this was the soldier''s sister should not she now be at the soldier''s side?
19330Is he well enough to answer a question or two?"
19330It might well be Elise, for who else would trust him?
19330It woke to hear the first tidings of the new day, and to ask only What was the cause?--What had led to her wild, swift vengeance?
19330Men there were in plenty, dry- rotting at the post for lack of something to limber their joints; but officers to lead?
19330Mr. Hart told you, did n''t he?"
19330No, she_ dare_ not, for within the four walls of that little white room what dreams and visions had the girl not seen?
19330Not want to go with the regiment?
19330Now, who has the best horse?"
19330Oh, captain, is Truman still acting quartermaster?"
19330R- r- r- obert, would it not be well for you to see her when she wakes?
19330She had been sitting there silent, studying the glittering stars, and wondering would there be an answer to her note?
19330She had seen her spring up in fury at being caught-- what else could have so enraged her that she should seek to knife the intruders?
19330Tell me what I can do for you?"
19330The ammunition is in your hands, too, is n''t it?
19330The question on almost every lip was"How is this to end?"
19330The question was, how would the"commanding officer''s lady"like and take it?
19330Then Plume invaded it:"How''d you find Wren-- mentally?"
19330Then came the last pound that broke the back of Downs''wavering resolution, and now had come-- what?
19330There''s Mullins now--""Think_ that_ was Apache?"
19330They are mere boys, are n''t they?"
19330To Colonel Byrne, who guardedly and somewhat dubiously asked,"How about Mrs. Plume and that-- French thing?"
19330To his courteous,"Good- evening, Miss Wren, may I relieve you of your basket?"
19330Was it likely that Angela could sleep until she heard the probable result of the inspector''s coming?
19330Was that a crack or a snap?"
19330Was there neither help nor hope from any source?
19330Was there reason, really, why he_ should_ write, after all that had passed?
19330Was this to be the end, after all?
19330What could their silence mean?
19330What fate had attended Blakely in his lonely and perilous ride?
19330What fate had befallen Wren?
19330What for?"
19330What good would that do?
19330What man or pair of men could pierce that cordon of Indians lurking all around them and reach the beleaguered command?
19330What need to speculate on the fate of the earlier couriers anyway?
19330What possible pretext could he assert?"
19330What two had been seen out there that night but Clarice Plume and her Gallic shadow, Elise?
19330What under heaven possessed him, with his brutal strength, to assault so sick a man as Mr. Blakely?
19330What was Natzie doing with this?--and to whom did it belong?
19330What was he doing?
19330What was it?"
19330What was there to fear in a sleeping soldier anyhow?
19330What will happen to-- Captain Wren?"
19330What would she have thought could she have heard what passed a few moments later?
19330What''d you find, Daly?"
19330What, then, had become of Blakely?
19330Where do you keep it?"
19330Where was he?
19330Who could associate shame or subterfuge with tones so charged with merriment?
19330Who then were the couriers, and what had become of them?
19330Who was the-- the creature to whom you opened your door last Wednesday midnight?"
19330Who were they?
19330Whom could he send?
19330Whom did you seek to arrest?--and why?"
19330Whose, then, were those scattered letters?
19330Why did he try to arrest them?
19330Why do you pursue her?
19330Why not sound reveille and let them sit up all night, if they chose?
19330Why, where was Carmody?
19330Will you tell me, or must I wait until I see your father?"
19330Will you-- be here, Miss Angela?"
19330Without a word Byrne handed him the second message and waited until he had read, then asked:"Can you start at dawn?"
19330Would he be able to write just yet?
19330You did not know-- Mrs. Plume was a somnambulist?"
19330You''ve seen nothing?"
19330and how much opium could have been given him the night of Mrs. Plume''s unconscious escapade?
19330and how?--and why?"
19330he cried, in amaze, and turning quickly toward her,"What can you mean?"
19330he sleepily asked himself,"fumbling about there among those cases?
19330said he,"and what was she doing out after recall?
2057Any cougar signs back in the breaks?
2057Are we going across in that?
2057Are you the musk- ox hunter?
2057Can you hold the dogs, one by one, while muzzle them?
2057Comanches?
2057Considering what appears the impossibility of capturing a full- grown buffalo, how did you earn the name of preserver of the American bison?
2057Did n''t find it, did you?
2057Did n''t you attempt to rescue them?
2057Did we get to see him?
2057Did yu acktully tech the hair of thet mustang with a rope?
2057Did yu fellars git to see him?
2057Do n''t you smell the cat?
2057Do the horses stray far when they are hobbled?
2057Do you see those white sand dunes there, more to the left?
2057Does n''t look bad, eh?
2057Ever get a rope near him?
2057Gone?
2057Have you any shots left for the 45- 90, besides what''s in the magazine?
2057How about your other man-- Mr. Wallace, I think you said?
2057How can you ford this stream with horses?
2057How could a man have the strength and the nerve? 2057 How could paint of any kind last so long?
2057How many wild horses on the mountain now?
2057How many years?
2057How on earth did he get rid of the cougar?
2057How''d you like being hog- tied?
2057How''s the hound you and Jim fetched in las''year? 2057 How''s this?
2057I? 2057 If Wallace went over the second rim wall, will he get back to- day?"
2057Is it possible?
2057Is n''t the river high now?
2057Is this the cougar country the Stewarts talked about?
2057Kill one of my calves? 2057 Kill one of our calves?"
2057Now, I wonder what kind of a prehistoric animal holed in here?
2057Now, how''d that tomb ever get there? 2057 Now, look at that, will you?"
2057Now, what''s that?
2057Of course you can ride?
2057See him? 2057 Seen anythin''of the White Mustang?"
2057Shall I kill a calf?
2057Somethin''s comin''off, eh? 2057 Water must be somewhere; but can that be it?
2057What for?
2057What in thunder did Frank give you that white nag for? 2057 What is it?"
2057What size shot do you use?
2057What''s all the row?
2057What''s in this butter?
2057What''s it mean?
2057What''s that for?
2057What''s this?
2057What''s up?
2057What''s your plan?
2057Where are the wolves?
2057Where was everybody? 2057 Where were-- you-- all?"
2057Where you oozin''for now?
2057Where''s Jim''s old cayuse, the pack- horse?
2057Where''s Moze?
2057Who''ll stop me?
2057Why not, I''d like to know?
2057Why the hell did n''t you tell a feller?
2057Will he be able to stand it?
2057Would we have any chance to see this White Mustang and his band?
2057Would you like to trade?
2057You can not accept the theory of erosion to account for this chasm?
2057You''ve had bad accidents here?
2057Ai n''t thet so, Jim?"
2057And is n''t it cruel to keep wild animals in captivity?
2057But where were the dogs?
2057Come here, Bowser-- what''s his name?"
2057Could the pup have taken one?"
2057Did Adams and I hire to cross the Staked Plains?
2057Did n''t I say the white wolves was hell?
2057Did you ever see the like of that?"
2057Do you hear thet rumble?
2057Do you imagine I''d quit?
2057Do you suppose those wolves could have gotten a buffalo calf out from under the mother?
2057Had the silent plainsman ever told a complete and full story of his adventures?
2057Has he got a good nose?
2057Have I been dreaming of musk- oxen for forty years, to slink south now, when I begin to feel the north?
2057Have I failed to hire man after man, Indian after Indian, not to know why I can not get a helper?
2057Have I, a plainsman, come a thousand miles alone to be scared by you, or a lot of craven Indians?
2057He wagged his tail, and flopped down to pant and pant, as if to say:"What''s wrong with you guys?"
2057How about cougar sign on the mountain?"
2057How did the river cut through that without the help of a split or earthquake?"
2057How did they come on a slope where a man could hardly walk?
2057How far does it look to you?"
2057How many reindeer?"
2057How many-- did you find?"
2057Hurt?"
2057If so, did it dam the river back into another inland sea, and then wear down into that red perpendicular gorge we remember so well?
2057If that was true, what, then, could be the name of the canyon at my feet?
2057If we rounded up a grizzly, got him cornered, and threw a rope on him-- there''d be some fun, eh, Jim?"
2057Jones grabbed my hand and cried out with a voice that was new to me:"You can eat?
2057Look at it, will you?"
2057Never thought of how you fooled me, did you?
2057Now, if it is necessary to kill this lion to save me or Frank, or, of course, yourself, can you be depended upon to kill him?"
2057ON TO THE SIWASH"Who all was doin''the talkin''last night?"
2057Or was there a great break in the fold of granite, which let the river continue on its way?
2057Or was there, at that particular point, a softer stone, like this limestone here, which erodes easily?"
2057Rea had ceased his"Jackoway out of wood,"for a reiterated question:"Where are the wolves?"
2057See them marks?
2057Should he stay with his prize to save it, or leave it to be devoured?
2057THE TRAIL"Frank, what''ll we do about horses?"
2057Then he turned to me:"Are you to be depended on here?"
2057Well, why should n''t they be?
2057Were there such things as canyon mirages?
2057What are years?"
2057What could it mean?
2057What do you mean chasing off that way?
2057What do you think of thet?
2057What do you want me to do?"
2057What does it mean?"
2057What was wrong with Sounder?"
2057Where are the wolves?"
2057Where''s Sounder?
2057Who''s to tell his mother?"
2057Why did n''t you call me?"
2057Why do n''t you kill the butcher?"
2057Why?
2057Wonder what thet means?"
2057You''ll get over it?"
2057You''re better?
2057how is it with you?"
2057it against God''s word?"
2057they bounced him out of the rocks all right-- don''t you remember, just under that cliff wall where you and Wallace came up to me?
2057understand?"
2057where are the wolves?"
2057yelled Jones"What''s Sounder got?
15274Am I?
15274And what am I to say to you for saving my life?
15274And where you goin'', dearie, all''lone? 15274 And why?
15274Are you awake yet?
15274Are you going far?
15274Broad Street?
15274But do n''t you think he''s cold? 15274 But it is not the custom among people where you live, is it?"
15274But what did the woman mean? 15274 But what if that man should suddenly appear on the scene?"
15274But where are your people, your family and friends? 15274 But why?"
15274Ca n''t you see that Madam ca n''t bear such talk? 15274 Come far this morning?"
15274Could I look at it? 15274 Could you inform me where to look for water?"
15274Did it do any good?
15274Did they? 15274 Did you enjoy it?"
15274Did you ever say the prayer?
15274Did you have many books and magazines?
15274Did you ride all night?
15274Do n''t you believe it will do any good?
15274Do n''t you know I love you?
15274Do n''t you know I''ve been torn away from you, or you from me, twice before now, and that I can not stand it any more? 15274 Do n''t you know that''s a disrespectful way to speak?"
15274Do n''t you see there is no other way? 15274 Do n''t you see you''re not doing right?
15274Do n''t you? 15274 Do n''t you?"
15274Do you have such an institution out here?
15274Do you know that the train will be along here in less than an hour, and we have a great deal to do before we can get on board? 15274 Do you know whether there is anything in Philadelphia called''Christian Endeavor''?"
15274Do you live far from here?
15274Do you mean that?
15274Do you think it was the prayer?
15274Does God have a house?
15274Does it?
15274Elizabeth? 15274 Found out what?"
15274From whom, then, may I ask? 15274 Gone?
15274Gone?
15274Grandma, ai n''t supper ready yet? 15274 Grandmother, may I please go and ask that man some questions?
15274Grandmother, was God in that church?
15274Have you found out too?
15274He''s your brother, ai n''t he, dearie?
15274How long must I stay away?
15274I never heard of that place,said the girl seriously;"is it in Canada?"
15274I? 15274 Is it Christian Endeavor?"
15274Is it hard work to get people into schools?
15274Is my grandmother living yet?
15274Is n''t that enough? 15274 Is she sick?"
15274Is that all that you have ever read?
15274Is this a school?
15274May n''t I kiss you before I go?
15274Me? 15274 Me?
15274My dear girl,--her tone was bland and disagreeable now,--"are you aware that it takes money to come to school?"
15274Not goin''to be married, dearie? 15274 Not on a horse?"
15274Not that dreadful creature you ran away from?
15274Now, ai n''t he smart?
15274O, please, please, wo n''t you let me stay here a few minutes, and tell me what to do? 15274 O, that will be glory for me, glory for me, glory for me--""What is it?"
15274Say, grandmother, would you care to come up to Rittenhouse Square and live?
15274Say, have n''t you got any other clothes with you at all? 15274 That, miss?
15274The rector, you mean? 15274 Then how be''s you travellin''lone with him?
15274Then you have met her before, George?
15274Was what I said as bad as that?
15274Well, and what if I am?
15274Well, dearie, why not stay here a little while, and write to your folks, and then go on with some one who is going your way? 15274 Well, who are you?"
15274Well, who is this paragon, anyway? 15274 Well, why do you do it?
15274What did you have to get into a temper for, and go off like that without telling me anything about my son? 15274 What do you want to know?"
15274What do you want?
15274What do you want?
15274What do you want?
15274What is that?
15274What is that?
15274What is this? 15274 What lady?
15274What lady?
15274What man? 15274 What man?"
15274What right had you to follow me?
15274What right have you to call me that? 15274 What time does that train leave?"
15274What was it all about?
15274What''s the matter, Bessie?
15274What''s the matter?
15274Where can I put him, grandmother?
15274Who are they?
15274Who are you, and where do you belong?
15274Who heard?
15274Who is it?
15274Whose house did she mean it was? 15274 Why did you follow me?
15274Why do n''t you try it about the lady?
15274Why do you run away from a woman? 15274 Why not?"
15274Why, yes; did n''t you know that? 15274 Will you excuse yourself, and let me take you home a little later?"
15274Will you promise that?
15274Will you really?
15274Would n''t the girls laugh at you, though, if they could hear you talk? 15274 Yes, I care as much as you,"she faltered,"but----""But what?"
15274Yes? 15274 A belt? 15274 After a minute, during which the girl had dropped her eyes to her work again, he said:Now, why did you look at me in that way?
15274After all, what mattered it?
15274Ai n''t he any kind of relation to you?
15274Ai n''t that name fierce?
15274All your own?
15274And ai n''t he handsome?
15274And did He care?
15274And how do they know it''s all so?
15274And how had they made this picture of him?
15274And she him?
15274And what have you got in it?
15274And what sort of a girl was she?
15274And what was that he had said to her himself, when searching for a word to cover his emotion?
15274And what would she think?
15274And where was she going?
15274And who shall say that the angel of the Lord did not stand within the crossing of the ways and turn aside the evil men?
15274And yet it all seemed right and good, and the girl was evidently recognized by the angels; else how had she escaped from degradation thus far?
15274And yet you ran away from her?"
15274Any one I know?
15274Are they in Montana?"
15274Are you quite sure?"
15274Are you sure you will understand the directions?
15274Be he a neighbor?
15274Besides, how do I know you belong to me?
15274Brady?"
15274But he said"Philadelphia?
15274But how had he died?
15274But she said she''d come back and see me, did n''t she?"
15274But what should he call her?
15274But where?
15274Ca n''t you come every time?"
15274Ca n''t you say it?"
15274Came ever a wealthy, college- bred, society man into the like before?
15274Can she shoot?"
15274Charming service, was n''t it?
15274Could it be a wild beast?
15274Could it be her father?
15274Could it be possible?
15274Could it be that this was his little brown friend, the maid of the wilderness?
15274Could n''t I do something for her?
15274Could she read his thoughts?
15274Could we go in?"
15274Dance, and play bridge, and sing?"
15274Did Elizabeth think Lizzie was n''t good enough to be introduced?
15274Did Mrs. Bailey rig her out this way for spite?
15274Did he catch an alert movement, the sound of attention, alarm?
15274Did it speak of the things of heaven to other souls there than those two?
15274Did n''t Elizabeth want some?
15274Did n''t me daughter ever get it?
15274Did n''t you have churches in Montana?"
15274Did not the fact that she had saved his life demand so much from him?
15274Did she know that constellation?
15274Did she think they would go so far?
15274Did that mean her?
15274Did you bring any clothes along?
15274Did you ever happen to meet her?
15274Did you ever hear that?
15274Did you have a Christian Endeavor where you lived?"
15274Did you see Him, and know He was there when you laughed?"
15274Do n''t he know where you live?"
15274Do n''t you care for me?
15274Do n''t you remember it, grandma?
15274Do n''t you remember me?
15274Do n''t you see that I can not leave you here alone?
15274Do n''t you think He heard?"
15274Do n''t you want to come home with me for a little while, and rest?"
15274Do n''t you''member?
15274Do you know it all through?
15274Do you know the way?"
15274Do you live near here?
15274Do you suppose it will do any good?"
15274Do you wear blue or pink?
15274Do you?"
15274Does she ride well?"
15274Elizabeth had sprung lightly to the ground and was now at the threshold:"Oh, is she sick?
15274Elizabeth who?
15274Elizabeth, did you ever have your hands manicured?
15274God?
15274Had he not had opportunity again and again to show her dishonor by word or look?
15274Had he or had he not, heard a strange, low, sibilant, writhing sound just as he came to consciousness?
15274Had he perhaps frightened her?
15274Had she found a refuge for the night?
15274Had she not watched the look of utmost respect on his face as he stood quietly waiting for her to awake the first morning they had met?
15274Had they any clue to her whereabouts?
15274Have n''t you known that for a long time?
15274Have you?
15274He could n''t shoot; and, if he could n''t pray, what would she think of him?
15274He did n''t hurt you, did he?
15274He had no opportunity to speak to Elizabeth alone, but he said as he bade her good- night,"I shall see you to- morrow, then, in the morning?"
15274He swung himself aboard with the accustomed ease of a man who has travelled; but he stood on the platform, and shouted,"Where are you going?"
15274Her will being done here over the dead-- was that anything like the will of the Father being done in heaven?
15274Here evidently was an indomitable spirit, but how did she get out into the wilderness?
15274How came you here?"
15274How come you by it?"
15274How could a woman hurt you?
15274How could he have left her?
15274How could he let her slip from him again when he had just found her?
15274How could he?
15274How could she speak with an accent so different from those about her?
15274How did he do it?"
15274How did he know she had?
15274How does he know it is all true?"
15274How should he go?
15274How soon can you start?
15274How was it that a stranger had the power to scorch her with anguish this way?
15274How was it the lady came no more into his thoughts?
15274How was it to be accounted for?
15274How was it, with such brothers as she had, that she had come forth as lovely and unhurt as she seemed?
15274How''d you get so awful tanned?
15274I do n''t remember ever seeing you before--""But I remember you,"she said eagerly stepping into the room,"Wo n''t you please let me go to her?"
15274I have n''t got any hay, but there''s some mashed potatoes left, and what is there?
15274I''m so sorry?
15274If I just had her pocket book would n''t I show the world?
15274If grandmothers were not refuges, where should one flee?
15274If he should die, what would she do?
15274In Rittenhouse Square?
15274Is anything the matter with Lizzie?
15274Is that all?"
15274Is there a rock anywhere that they call the Rock of Ages?"
15274Is this Philadelphia?"
15274It was plain she must change her course, but which way should she go?
15274Lizzie, ca n''t you show her how to fix her hair pompadour?"
15274Lovely day, is n''t it?
15274Mail?
15274Make it this morning, will you?
15274May I come to- morrow?"
15274Might she say it for him, who was gone away from her?
15274Must he not try to help her in some way?
15274No express?
15274No railroad?
15274No trunk?
15274No?
15274Not an uncle nor cousin nor nothin''?"
15274Now do you suppose we could get some of that very sparkling water?
15274Now the next question was, Was she on it herself, or had she in some way slipped from his grasp even yet?
15274O, and what was that her mother used to want?
15274Or was she wandering on an unknown trail, hearing voices and oaths through the darkness, and seeing the gleaming of wild eyes low in the bushes ahead?
15274Ought I to be helping you in some way?
15274Pistols?
15274Pretending he would help her?
15274Rebel again?
15274Say, do n''t you know it?
15274Say, wo n''t I be some lady in the five- an''-ten the rest o''the week?
15274School?"
15274Shall I go away?
15274Shall we risk the right hand''r the left?"
15274She had held him for a minute; could she not hold him longer?
15274She had passed Indians and cowboys in her journeying; why should she mind Chicago?
15274Shoot?
15274Should he call her?
15274Should he not pray for her who was in peril now?
15274Should she go back?
15274Should she turn and flee before she was discovered?
15274That feller in Montana you run away from?"
15274The machine came to a halt, and a familiar voice shouted:"Conscience alive, George, is that you?
15274The old lady in Chicago had understood; why had not Grandmother Brady?
15274The parlor''s real big, and you would send her some roses, could n''t you?"
15274Then was there a difference between his thought of the lady and of herself?
15274There is fresh grass in this sheltered place; see?"
15274This girl with the lovely, refined face, the intellectual brow, the dainty fineness of manner?
15274To Chicago, did you say?"
15274To the east?
15274Wanta see the figgers?
15274Was God in the church?
15274Was every one, was even her grandmother, going to be cold and harsh with her?
15274Was he fickle that he could lose what he had supposed was a lifelong passion in a few days?
15274Was he trying to deceive her?
15274Was it a piano?
15274Was it entirely because she might need it for food?
15274Was it her house?"
15274Was it perfume from something he carried in his pocket, some flower his lady had once given him?
15274Was it true?
15274Was she doing something for which this man by her side would not respect her?
15274Was she overstepping some unwritten law of which she had never heard, and did he know it, and yet encourage her in it?
15274Was that the man you ran away from?"
15274Was the girl still sleeping?
15274Was there any Father, and could He hear her?
15274Was there danger that he might carry her back to the cabin again, after all?
15274Was there glory for her anywhere in the world?
15274Was there no refuge in the world?
15274Was there nothing on earth or in heaven to save her?
15274We can come home early, ca n''t we?"
15274We can send them both, ca n''t we George?"
15274Were all these Western maidens so reticent?
15274Were people in cities all alike?
15274Were there fiends lurking in the fastnesses of the mountain growth above her?
15274Were they on her track?
15274What are you crying for?
15274What are you made of, anyway, to sit there when there''s so much to be done, and those villains on our track, and insist that you wo n''t be saved?''
15274What are you trying to do?
15274What can I do to help?"
15274What could it mean?
15274What could they do?
15274What did it all mean?
15274What did it mean?
15274What did she lack, and how could she secure it?
15274What did you say his name was?
15274What do you think she meant?"
15274What does she do?
15274What if he should come back again?
15274What if he should try to shoot one?
15274What in the world have you got round your waist?
15274What is that?"
15274What kind of a place might Rittenhouse Square be, and where was it?
15274What kind of a thing have you got on, anyway?
15274What lady?"
15274What makes your skin so black?
15274What must she do after her grandmother was laid to rest?
15274What should she do?
15274What was this headstrong girl going to do next?
15274What was to become of her?
15274What was your ma thinkin''about to let you do that?"
15274What would I ride?
15274What would he like?
15274What would she say if she knew his trouble now?
15274What your folks thinkin''''bout to let you go''lone this way?"
15274What''ll the girls at the store think now?"
15274What''s happened?
15274When and where dared she rest?
15274When does the ceremony come off?
15274Where are you going?
15274Where are you going?"
15274Where are your folks?
15274Where could she go and what should she do?
15274Where did she come from, and why was she alone?
15274Where did she get that manner so imperial, she, born in a mountain cabin and bred on the wilds?
15274Where did they find it out?"
15274Where do you intend going?"
15274Where is she?"
15274Where is the back yard?"
15274Where was Elizabeth?
15274Where was she going, and what was she proposing to do?
15274Where was she going?
15274Where were they, and why had they gone that way?
15274Where you going in such a hurry, anyway?
15274Where''d you find this?"
15274Where''d you take up with each other?
15274Who could tell?
15274Who did she say was there?
15274Who did you think I was?"
15274Who had killed him?
15274Who is he?
15274Who is that?"
15274Who was it?
15274Who was she, and how had she wandered out into this waste place?
15274Why could he not pray?
15274Why did he feel that something, some one, had passed him but a moment before?
15274Why did n''t they go to Malta?
15274Why did you always be such a bad, bad boy?"
15274Why did you run away?
15274Why do n''t you write to us?
15274Why do they not send the man away?"
15274Why had he left her?
15274Why had he never noticed this wideness in skies at home?
15274Why had he not known it?
15274Why had he not_ made_ her go with him?
15274Why had she talked so much about the lady?
15274Why had that girl shot that bird, anyway?
15274Why not again?
15274Why not give the horse his head, and let him pick out a safe path?
15274Why should all that tenderness be wasted on mere fading flowers?
15274Why think of her?
15274Why were so many necessary?
15274Will you help me?"
15274Wo n''t I be some swell?
15274Wo n''t that be great?"
15274Wo n''t the girls stare when I tell them?
15274Would He not raise up help for her somewhere?
15274Would anybody help her?
15274Would grandmother mind if she sat right there and heard the second part of the concert?
15274Would he not like to have the lady ride alone with him when she was not his relative in any way?
15274Would it never end?
15274Would n''t he like a-- a-- shawl or something?"
15274Would the conductor be so kind as to put them off that they might return to the city by the shortest possible route?
15274Would the man who had saved her life a few minutes ago believe her?
15274Would there be a chance if he had his automobile?
15274Would they be able to fight and prevail against those four terrible men mad with liquor?
15274Would they be kind to her, and let her study?
15274Would they believe her?
15274Would they not be discouraged?
15274Would they turn back pretty soon, and catch her when the people were gone home?
15274Yet how could he stay?
15274Yet how did he know then how important they were to be?
15274You are a very pretty girl; do you know it?
15274You do n''t suppose he''d think it was hay, do you?
15274You do n''t suppose he''d try to get in the house, do you?
15274You do n''t''spose she''s made a mistake, do you?"
15274You never had a whole thousand dollars in the bank t''woncet yerself, did ya?"
15274You sure he ai n''t deceivin''you, dearie?"
15274You told me things that I did n''t know, and you were kind and wanted me to stay here with you?
15274You will be very careful, wo n''t you?
15274said Grandmother Brady sitting back with satisfaction and holding her hands composedly,"Whadd''I tell ya?"
15274why had he left her?
14545A share, to be named by Johnson and then be divided between ten? 14545 All set?
14545And the other?
14545And the others? 14545 And you thought you could take Johnson''s measure?"
14545Anything wrong, young man? 14545 Are you sure you had your spur here?"
14545Arizona?
14545Aw, what''s wrong? 14545 Awguan?
14545Back down? 14545 Back in New York, maybe?"
14545Be back soon?
14545Bet on it? 14545 Boland, what did you come here for, anyhow?"
14545But Pete, are n''t you taking too long a chance? 14545 But do n''t you see, old thing, you''re still up in the air?
14545But if the claim is so rich, why do you need money?
14545But why-- why on earth-- did you insist on employing men you now distrust? 14545 But wo n''t your man Marsh tell Zurich about your unruly behavior?"
14545But you ca n''t do more than guess? 14545 But your mine?"
14545But, Pete, are n''t we taking a big chance that some one will find our claim? 14545 Ca n''t I see Mr. Gans, then?"
14545Ca n''t you read?
14545Cards to you?
14545Cards?
14545Could it have been a slip?
14545Could n''t we make a get- away at night?
14545Could we find this treasure- trove by a painstaking search of the hills?
14545Did I?
14545Did he bring the keys, too?
14545Do you play tennis? 14545 Do your reflecting out loud, ca n''t you?"
14545Don Hooaleece,said Benavides, very bright- eyed, when they had ridden a little way from camp,"how is eet to be?
14545Dropping in? 14545 Ever hear of that?
14545Ever think of writing? 14545 Find it?
14545For the mine, you mean?
14545Frame- up, then?
14545Got water? 14545 Had n''t you better ask him?"
14545Have a cigar?
14545He''s older than you, then?
14545Him? 14545 How could any one know?
14545How did that man get here?
14545How long ago did you say it was when you began shootin''?
14545How long will it take you?
14545How will you have it, sir?
14545How''d you get this in, damn you?
14545How''re you fixed for work, Jack?
14545How''s that?
14545How?
14545I might talk to Mr. Longman, perhaps?
14545I suppose you are not commissioned to make any definite proposal as to terms, in case the investigation terminates as favorably as you anticipate? 14545 If you mean that I fear the man Johnson at all, why do you not use tongue and lips to say that same?
14545If you will excuse me, then?
14545Is he all right?
14545Is n''t he?
14545Is n''t it?
14545Is this a time for quarreling among ourselves? 14545 Is-- is the janitor in?"
14545It''s not his lungs, I hope?
14545Johnson, what is your motive? 14545 Johnson,"said the vice- president,"are you trying to start a run on this bank?
14545Just what will you ask my cousin to do? 14545 Look here-- what do you think I am?
14545Man Johnson, will ye bide behind for a word?
14545Maybe your friend would like to join us?
14545Mind your own business, will you?
14545Mine?
14545Mitchell?
14545Money? 14545 Mr. Oscar Mitchell, is it?"
14545Must have quite a bunch?
14545Must n''t Francis Charles go to work?
14545My friend''s friend is my friend? 14545 Nan- nà ¡, I gather, being the pony?"
14545Next gentleman?
14545Now what do you think of that? 14545 Now what?
14545Now, what else?
14545Oh, has Pete been in jail? 14545 Oh, you did, hey?
14545Oh, you know him, then?
14545Oh-- you''re going, are you?
14545Or did somebody mention the name of grub?
14545Or did you say?
14545Ready?
14545Really-- but that is hardly our affair, is it?
14545Really-- but that is hardly our affair, is it?
14545Say, Bat, do you think you''ll make the morning train? 14545 See you after supper?"
14545Shoved it in through a third- story window?
14545Smoke?
14545So it was you last night?
14545So this is Francis Charles?
14545So you think that after a while, when their enthusiasm dies down, we can give them the slip?
14545Stanley sick? 14545 Suppose there was six men?"
14545That rope? 14545 That was Stan''s partner to- day-- that old gray goat?"
14545Then we''re to do nothing just now but to shun mind- readers, write no letters, and not talk in our sleep?
14545Thompson, you see this-- this object? 14545 Three- ninths?"
14545To begin with, how about water and fuel?
14545Too lazy to defend yourself against the charge of being lazy?
14545Trickling into your thick skull, is it? 14545 Trouble, Don Hooaleece?
14545Trouble?
14545Walters?
14545Want to try a little game to- night?
14545Was I kidding myself?
14545Was there anything else?
14545Weakening, eh?
14545Well, Joe?
14545Well, Johnson, how about it?
14545Well, Johnson, what''s this?
14545Well, was n''t he insultin''the boys then?
14545Well? 14545 Whachamean--''Ha''?"
14545What are we going to do about our mine?
14545What are you going to do or take water?
14545What are you horning in for?
14545What do you do? 14545 What do you think I am-- a fool?
14545What do you want?
14545What does this mean?
14545What for?
14545What have you got? 14545 What if you are?
14545What is there to compromise? 14545 What is this, Johnson?
14545What makes you think so?
14545What mine?
14545What more do you want?
14545What the Billy- hell?
14545What you got?
14545What''s doing over at the Gavilan? 14545 What''s that?
14545What''s that? 14545 What''s the good of throwing Johnson into jail for five or ten days-- or perhaps only a fine?
14545What''s the idea-- to swindle yourself?
14545What''s the matter with you now, fool?
14545What''s the merry prank?
14545What? 14545 When you was a boy?"
14545Where''s Rhiny?
14545Who did it? 14545 Who was it?"
14545Who you been betrayin''now?
14545Why do n''t you go to Prescott, Johnson? 14545 Why do n''t you leave him in jail and hunt for the claim till you find it?"
14545Why not take a whirl at law?
14545Why not?
14545Why, sheriff, what''s the matter? 14545 Will he take the first steps on your bare word-- without even a sample or an assayer''s report?"
14545Wo n''t there ever be any more hands of poker dealt?
14545Ya- as? 14545 You Stan Mitchell''s pardner?"
14545You did n''t pack these over here?
14545You goin''to break him out o''the pen?
14545You got any enemies, pardner?
14545You got money to sell? 14545 You have no ambition whatever?"
14545You know Benavides, Stan?
14545You poor, blundering, meddling, thick- headed fool,said Zurich unpleasantly;"ca n''t you see what you''ve done?
14545You remember Mayer Zurich, whom we helped through that fake bankruptcy at Syracuse?
14545You say he has proved himself a good man of his hands?
14545You wo n''t ask what, hey? 14545 Young man, do you want I should throw this bank out of the window?"
14545Young man,he said,"would you know that brown horse Stan was ridin''when you met up with him?"
14545''Did n''t you tote a sample out of that blisterin''old desert?''
14545''How''d they know we got any mine?''
14545''Then is every play I make-- henceforth and forever, amen-- to be gaumed up by a mess of hirelin''bandogs?
14545''What kind of talk is this?
14545''What they tryin''to put over on Stan now?''
14545A plant?"
14545About how much cash have you got in your roll?"
14545About twenty mile, I reckon?"
14545About your ranch: you''ve still got your wells and water- holes?
14545About-- geography-- history-- that sort of thing?"
14545After they find out where it is--_cuidado!_''"''But who took that package out of the mail, Petey?
14545Ai n''t those fellows after your mine?
14545Aloud he said:"One of Zurich''s ranches, is n''t it?
14545And Shorty Bill, he told you so?
14545And all in front?
14545And gie him a bit word of counsel from time to time, should ye see him temptit to whilly- whas and follies?
14545And how is Stanley?
14545And how''d you happen to turn up here?"
14545And now may I put a question or two?
14545And so on,_ ad infinitum_, like fleas with little fleas to bite''em-- that sort of thing-- what?
14545And that I rate it highly?
14545And then what?"
14545And what are we going to do now?"
14545And when shall I go?"
14545And why did he not come himself?"
14545And yet are these folk, indeed, so singular among citizens?
14545Any good?"
14545Anything else?"
14545Anything we can do for you?"
14545Are n''t you a little mite petulant this A.M.?
14545Are they going to slide me four kings?
14545Asleep?"
14545Be you the cashier?"
14545Bet on this hand?"
14545Booze?
14545But again, if so, how did water from Delaware get to Baltimore?
14545But have you now showed all your little box of tricks?"
14545But suppose the tree was shooting back?
14545But, I say, old chappie, why did n''t you come last night?
14545CHAPTER IX"Far be it from me to-- to--""Cavil or carp?"
14545Ca n''t ye, now?"
14545Ca n''t you dig up any evidence to help you?"
14545Ca n''t you see that your fine, plausible theory is all built on surmise and wild conjecture?
14545Can you give bail?"
14545Canals, or something?"
14545Come over to the Iroquois, wo n''t you?"
14545Curse your soul, what do you mean by it?"
14545Did it ever occur to you that I have your instructions, over your own signature, filed away, and that they would make mighty interesting reading?
14545Did you get the money I left for you?"
14545Did you think of that all by yourself?
14545Do n''t sound heroic much, do they?
14545Do you fish?
14545Do you know anybody here?
14545Do you mean I''ve been bunked?''
14545Do you reckon you could stir round and find him for me-- if your dad can spare you?
14545Do you squire the girls?
14545Do you take a hand at bridge?
14545Does he prosper?
14545Does that let me in?
14545Eh?
14545Exports?"
14545Find it, says you?
14545Fine day, is n''t it?"
14545For, how about this dry canal along here?
14545Forgotten that?''"
14545Fox and geese too-- ever play fox and geese?
14545Golf?
14545Got any rich friends back East?"
14545Got that, now?"
14545Got that?
14545Got that?"
14545Got that?"
14545Hang Joey?
14545Have you any business here?"
14545He asleep yet?"
14545He turned to the boy:"Well, Bobby, you had a hard time wranglin''them to- day-- but you got''em, did n''t you, son?"
14545He went after the boy?"
14545He''s got brains, hain''t he?
14545How can they guess you found a solid mountain of the stuff?''
14545How could any one know?"
14545How far is it?
14545How far is your mine from the railroad?"
14545How is it with you?"
14545How''d you get in?"
14545I may have mentioned my intelligence?
14545I might even stock up and throw in with you-- but you would n''t want a partner from the wrong side of the table?
14545I now make the direct appeal to you, Eric: As a candid man or mouse, what would you do next?"
14545I suppose you''ve told your girl already?
14545I thought they got it all when they arrested you?"
14545I''m doing this.--Well, Dewing, how about it?"
14545If you really think I can give you any such evidence, why not trade me an interest in the mine for it?"
14545If you was in there, would n''t you want to get out?"
14545In Abingdon?"
14545In a wild and topsy- turvy world, did you implore me to devote my splendid and unwasted energies in the service of Good, with a capital G?
14545In town yet?"
14545Is n''t that security all right?"
14545Is she pretty?
14545Is some one going to draw down wages for makin''me mizzable all the rest of my whole life?''
14545Is that nothing?"
14545Is there a catch about it?
14545Is this not, indeed, a most beautiful world, and ours the land of opportunity, progress, education?
14545It''s all right, I reckon.... And the little shaver?
14545Johnson?"
14545Know that country?
14545Let me outline two of the many possibilities: If I do n''t bail you out, I''m doin''you dirt, ai n''t I?
14545Let us, then, be up and doing.--Doing, certainly; but why not think a little too?
14545Make it a quick one, will you?
14545Man, and have ye noticed that too?"
14545Money.--Who''s this?"
14545Mope and mowl?
14545Motor?
14545Must n''t it go to work?"
14545Nevertheless--""Why, then, the exertion?"
14545No?
14545Notice that?"
14545Now what warlockry is this?"
14545Now, how does this strike you?
14545Now, who is to gain by putting you on the blink, huh?"
14545Or does one hear people when they mowl?"
14545Quite a lot of''em?
14545Ready?
14545Row?
14545S''pose they''ve struck it rich, like we did?"
14545Say, how about this Stanley thing, anyway?
14545See any scars?
14545See that huddle of little hills in the middle of the plain, ahead and a little to the south?
14545See what followed that filing-- over yonder?
14545Shall we say a week?"
14545Should n''t Francis Charles marry?"
14545Shut up, will you?
14545So I put it up to you, Petey-- square and aboveboard-- what are they tryin''to work on Stan now?''
14545So unseeing a people?
14545Son, if our copper claims had really been in the Gavilan, instead of a- hundred- and- then- some long miles in another- guess direction-- then what?"
14545Standing on the higher stair, he whispered in the larger man''s ear:"You got all the keys?"
14545Standing on your previous record and insistin''you''re the victim of foul play?
14545Suit you?"
14545Suppose some one should stumble onto it?"
14545Swim?
14545Sympathy dodge?...
14545Take some one''s girl away from him, maybe?"
14545Tell me, rather, what we are going to do about this troublesome Johnson?
14545That was Pete Johnson, was n''t it?
14545That''s fair, is n''t it, Johnson?"
14545That''s my best chance to find out how to keep you from goin''to the pen, is n''t it?
14545The calm repose; that sort of thing-- what?"
14545The first waking thought is invariably, What of the day?
14545Then why did n''t he keep it private and confidential?
14545Think I''m blind, hey?
14545Umpire?"
14545Want to take a hand at poker, Pete?
14545Was it ever finished?
14545Was it ever used?
14545Was n''t that right?
14545Was n''t there a Baltimore and Ohio Canal?
14545Was you expectin''that to go unremarked?
14545Was''t so with you?"
14545Wash up?
14545We are agreed on that?
14545We saw your fire?"
14545We''re rather overlooking Ferdie, do n''t you think?
14545We''ve had a pleasant afternoon, have n''t we?
14545Well, I do n''t blame you-- but say, Stan, on the level, it''s a funny old world, is n''t it?"
14545Well, then, what''s the matter with the army?"
14545What are the principal exports of Abingdon?"
14545What are you up to?"
14545What can I do for you to- day?"
14545What did he say?"
14545What did it cost?
14545What do you suppose that fiend Johnson is going to do?
14545What do you want?"
14545What happened on the Cobre Trail to stir up your superstitions?"
14545What have I done that you should be so short to me?"
14545What have you been doing here?"
14545What in hell do you mean?"
14545What in hell does he mean, then-- swearin''you into jail and then breakin''you out?"
14545What is he doing with himself?
14545What is it you want me to do?
14545What is it?
14545What is the large idea?"
14545What kept you so long?"
14545What made you do it, Stanley?"
14545What money?
14545What on earth can have happened to rouse their suspicions to that extent?"
14545What ought to be done to retrieve the false step?"
14545What say?"
14545What think ye the auld body whispert to me but now?
14545What was the name of it?
14545What was the reason?"
14545What''s all this piffle got to do with our mine?"
14545What''s he been doin''now?"
14545What''s that for?''
14545What''s the good of shootin''a man all to pieces?"
14545What''s the trouble?
14545When did who build it?
14545Where did it begin?
14545Where did it start to?
14545Where did you get those cards?"
14545Where do I come in?
14545Where does this cousin of yours live?
14545Where you been all these years?
14545Where''d he go?"
14545Where''s Bob?
14545Where''s Rhiny?
14545Who built it?
14545Who digs up the willing witness?
14545Who finds skeletons in respectable closets?
14545Who is the go- between?
14545Who stirs up damage suits?
14545Who''d have thought it of him?"
14545Who''s wiggling now?"
14545Who?
14545Who?"
14545Why ca n''t I-- or both of us-- just slip down there quietly and do enough work on your mine to hold it?
14545Why do n''t you go to work?"
14545Why is thinking in such disfavor?
14545Why is thinking, about subjects and things, the one crime never forgiven by respectability?
14545Why not?"
14545Why tip it off to the G.P.?
14545Ye ken the auld man ahint my chair-- him that the silly folk ca''Rameses Second in their sport?
14545Ye''ll not be minding for an old man''s daffin''?"
14545Yes?
14545Yes?
14545Yes?
14545You a prospector?
14545You ai n''t wall- eyed, be you?
14545You are godly and cleanly men; yet, when you saw in me a gem of purest ray serene, did you appeal to my better nature?
14545You fellows all know there''s only one way to get out of that Fishhook Valley-- unless you turn round and come back the way you go in?"
14545You have that Poole tribe under your thumb, have you not?"
14545You hear it?
14545You know them location papers of ours I was to get recorded at Tucson?"
14545You remember old Hank Bergman?"
14545You were saying--?"
14545You''ll have an eye on this young spark, Mr. Boland?
14545You''re claiming that you did n''t do the robbin''at all?
14545Your scheme, was it, Texas?
14545Your word against mine?"
14545_ Compadres_--eh, Joe?
14545_ Quià © n sabe?_ If you refuse we shall truly endeavor to be interestin''; and you may get nothing.''
14545said Mr. Boland with emotion;"I may have my faults, but--""Why do n''t you go in for politics?"
15148Ai n''t that jus''like Adams for you?
15148All the time?
15148An'',asked the Kid coolly,"who the hell is Jimmie Clayton?"
15148An''you wo n''t tell nobody but him, will you, Buck?
15148And the others? 15148 And what have you decided to do in the matter?"
15148And where is she going?
15148And why should I lie to you?
15148And you are sure,she hesitated a little in spite of herself, repeating,"you are sure... that Buck Thornton is that man?"
15148And you expected me here? 15148 And you, Broderick?"
15148At the bank in Dry Town?
15148Back already, Comstock?
15148Bedloe?... 15148 Before you go any further,"interrupted Thornton,"tell me why you came to me at all?"
15148Buck Thornton?
15148But the envelope?
15148But why not here?
15148But you ai n''t said who she was? 15148 But,"she asked, frowning in her perplexity,"what good will it do to wait?"
15148Ca n''t you see the whole scheme? 15148 Ca n''t you see?"
15148Dead sure?
15148Did Jed see more than one?
15148Did n''t you lose anything that night?
15148Do n''t get me?
15148Do n''t you see? 15148 Do n''t you think, Winifred, we''d better be going?"
15148Do you think I am a fool?
15148Git a move on, will you? 15148 Glad you made yourself at home,"he said then,"Find anything to eat?"
15148Gone to bed?
15148Guess why they are waiting five days more before springing their mine?
15148Have a drink, Buck?
15148Have you ever been over this trail? 15148 He killed him?"
15148Her hang out in that little town of Hill''s Corners? 15148 How about yourself?
15148How do I know you ai n''t puttin''up a game on me? 15148 How do I know you''re tellin''me the truth?"
15148How do you know?
15148How long?
15148How''re they coming, Jimmie?
15148How''s everything?
15148How''s it happen you know so much about it?
15148I ca n''t drag Lew''s folks out, can I?
15148I do n''t know but that I should have been well within my rights to open it, eh? 15148 I got to find somebody as''ll give me a lift, ai n''t I?
15148I jes''wish they''d try it on again...."Ai n''t goin''to happen again, ai n''t it?
15148I said I had a proposition, did n''t I?
15148I wonder if you know anything about the place?
15148I''m sure gone to seed, huh, Buck?
15148If Hap Smith ai n''t forgot how to sling a four horse team through the dark, huh?
15148If I am?
15148If I had n''t seen it how was I to guess that it was you ahead of me?
15148If a man wants to know anything real bad,he said at last,"it''s up to him to go and find out, huh, Billy Comstock?"
15148If you had a guess who''d you say was the bad man this county wants?
15148In the cabin after I went for the horses?
15148In town for a little high life, Buck?
15148Is it far to the Wendell place?
15148Is it?
15148Is that you, Winifred?
15148It is n''t anything serious, is it?
15148Like what?
15148May I go right to my room?
15148May I go right to my room?
15148May I have this dance, Miss Waverly?
15148Meaning the inches of me? 15148 Meaning to get the Poison Hole?
15148Meaning when?
15148Miss Waverly?
15148Name?
15148Not on our trail?
15148Now what is she doing out this way?
15148Now what the devil is the like of her goin''to that town for?
15148Now who''s sending me letters this way?
15148Poh, is it?
15148Pollard?
15148Pollard?
15148Pollard?
15148Quick? 15148 Shall I go out while you talk?"
15148So that''s it, is it?
15148So you''re going to Dead Man''s Alley, are you?
15148That you, Buck?
15148That''s got to satisfy me, huh? 15148 The devil you do?
15148Then Broderick?
15148Then,placidly suggested,"how about enemies?
15148Then... how did you know?
15148They had me in the pen, then; you knowed that, Buck? 15148 Thornton?"
15148To one conclusion?
15148Waiting for what?
15148Was it you, Jimmie?
15148Was it?
15148Well, where do I come in?
15148Well,he grinned back at her as though the discussion had been of no moment and now was quite satisfactorily ended,"I ought to be glad, ought n''t I?
15148Well,he said in a moment,"you''ve shot your wad now, ai n''t you?
15148Well? 15148 Well?"
15148Well?
15148Well?
15148Well?
15148Well?
15148Well?
15148What about him?
15148What about it?
15148What are you going to do?
15148What chance has a man to take care of himself when another man puts a rifle ball through his back? 15148 What did he say?"
15148What did he say?
15148What do you want to stay for, Ben?
15148What do you want?
15148What do_ you_ want?
15148What does his name matter? 15148 What for?"
15148What is it, Jimmie?
15148What is it, Jimmie?
15148What is it?
15148What is it?
15148What luck?
15148What made you think you recognized me?
15148What men around here do you know real well, well enough to call friends?
15148What was it?
15148What''s the matter, Jimmie?
15148What''s the matter, Miss Waverly?
15148What''s the news out your way, Buck?
15148What''s the word?
15148What''s wrong?
15148When time comes for your last payment are you going to be able to make it?
15148When you goin''back to the range, Buck?
15148When?
15148When?
15148Where is he?
15148Where is my trail?
15148Where the sick woman is?
15148Where you been all year? 15148 Where''d this come from?"
15148Where''d you blow in from?
15148Where''s she going?
15148Where''s your horse?
15148Which way are you ridin''?
15148Who are Pollard''s friends?
15148Who are the Bedloe boys? 15148 Who is Dalton?"
15148Who is he?
15148Who is it?
15148Who shall I say it is?
15148Who was it? 15148 Who was it?"
15148Who''s the girl, Bud?
15148Who?
15148Why did n''t you come in at my cabin? 15148 Why did this have to happen?
15148Why do n''t we stop here? 15148 Why do n''t you ride with me into Dry Town?"
15148Why do n''t you tell me who he was?
15148Why do you ask that?
15148Why do you pretend in this stupid way?
15148Why do you suffer it?
15148Why suspect him just because he wears the costume of the country, has the usual red handkerchief in his possession and is tall? 15148 Why?"
15148Winifred Waverly or Henry Pollard?
15148Woman or man?
15148Wonder if Miss Waverly will be over from the Corners?
15148Yes?
15148You ai n''t killed, are you, Pa?
15148You are going to give it back to me?
15148You are ready to swear to that?
15148You brung a flask, did n''t you?
15148You did n''t think so, did you, Blackie?
15148You did not accuse him of having robbed you?
15148You did?
15148You do n''t mean that you''ve got it with you now? 15148 You do n''t think the same way they do, do you?"
15148You knew he was in the pen?
15148You made him your proposition?
15148You saw him?
15148You saw that?
15148You say that you do n''t know who it was?
15148You thought all along...."Was it you, Jimmie?
15148You will swear that it was Thornton who robbed you?
15148You''ll be going out tonight, Dalton?
15148You''ll get him?
15148You''re going on, further?
15148You''re sure it was Thornton?
15148You''ve been shot again?
15148You... here? 15148 ''Cause you know I''d shoot myself if they got me, an''you do n''t forget how I stuck to you, do you, Buck?
15148A gentleman gone to seed, was that it?
15148A little beauty, do n''t you think?"
15148A man came into the cabin about three minutes before you came out to the barn, did n''t he?"
15148All alone?
15148An''... Where''s the girl?"
15148An''I''m tellin''you why: Did you ever hear a man tell of a stick- up party on a night like this?
15148An''where you think you''re goin'', stampedin''along like a runaway horse?"
15148An''you can ride out again, at night, you know, Buck, an''smuggle me some more grub, ca n''t you?"
15148An''you, Jim an''Hodge?
15148And I guess you can do the rest of your riding alone?
15148And did his following the girl mean anything?
15148And did she not know him for what he was, a man who was not above assaulting a defenceless girl, not above robbery?
15148And fasten the door after you, will you, please?"
15148And finally he answered with a brief question:"Where?"
15148And had she not called him a coward, thought him a coward?
15148And how many others?
15148And maybe you''d like to have me take off my shoes so you can look in them for your lost treasures?"
15148And since still he gave no sign of breaking the silence which had fallen over them, she said at last:"Did n''t you know all the time who I was?"
15148And then on to Hill''s Corners?
15148And then with a shade of relief in his tone and yet half hesitatingly, the frown still on his face as Thornton rode close up,"It''s you, is it?
15148And then, a little curiosity in his even tones,"How does it happen you''re not out hunting rustlers with the old man?"
15148And then, lifting his head suddenly, his eyes keen and hard upon Templeton''s, he said casually,"I dropped in three days ahead of time, did n''t I?"
15148And then, suddenly, he knew that there was a third person out here in the garden close to him, and that this person... man or woman?
15148And then, suddenly, he said,"If you''re going that way you can see Miss Waverly through, ca n''t you?
15148And then,"Say, did you notice the two passengers in the stage?"
15148And they quit being badmen and buy ranches?
15148And with Comstock?"
15148And you do n''t care a damn about the reward, Buck; you said so, did n''t you?"
15148And you?
15148And, now, what would her uncle say?
15148And,"Got me, have you?"
15148And... and make yourself at home, too?
15148Any one of the Bedloe boys could shoot him and who would know?
15148Anything I can do?"
15148Are n''t you?"
15148Are you alone?"
15148Are you going to be reasonable?"
15148Are you more tired than you thought?"
15148As far as the next ranch, seven miles further on?"
15148Before you had more than got out of light of Dry Town?"
15148Bein''it''s a right winterish sort of night I do n''t reckon a little drop o''kindness would go bad, huh?
15148But I want you to stay a little longer, wo n''t you?
15148But it ca n''t be helped now, can it?
15148But maybe I''d better wait until you''ve eaten?"
15148But what would a jury say?
15148But what?
15148But why was Pollard waiting?
15148But why?
15148But you have n''t answered me; why did your imprudent giant call him a rattlesnake?"
15148But you would n''t give me away, Buck, would you?
15148But, Buck,"and he spoke sharply,"did n''t you bring no grub with you?"
15148But, Hill''s Corners?"
15148Ca n''t I move you over to my cabin?"
15148Can you let me have a horse in the morning?
15148Can you ride?"
15148Coming, Buck?"
15148Did Mr. Thornton get frightened and bring your money back?"
15148Did he dare even talk of it here, among all these men and women?
15148Did he know it?
15148Did he not already have enough on his hands without running after a girl with grey eyes and a blazing temper?
15148Did he pick up a stone?"
15148Did you have to kill anybody?"
15148Do n''t you suppose I know what you mean?
15148Do you want to rest a while?"
15148Everything''s all right?"
15148First, how old a man is he and what does he look like?
15148For some new crime, for the monster crime of all, for the last play for the last and biggest stake?
15148For was any more faith to be put in the word of the Smiths than in that of Buck Thornton himself?
15148For, during the day on the stage had he not once summoned the courage for a stammering remark to her, and had she not replied pleasantly?
15148Friends?
15148Git me, Elliott?
15148Going to shake a leg a little?"
15148Had he not told her there in the cabin when he had played at hiding his identity from her, that he knew she was armed?
15148Had she acted in good faith in sending it?
15148Have n''t I got enough on my hands already?"
15148Have you?"
15148He do n''t look like he''s the kind to lie down and let you hog- tie him, does he, Miss Waverly?
15148He had forgotten something; but what?
15148He must have told you,"and he was watching her very keenly,"that the stage runs there from Dry Town?"
15148He will swear that he did_ not_ rob you, wo n''t he?
15148Here lay the hint of a story; who was the second rider, what was his business?
15148How about it, Poke?
15148How many men besides King were ready to believe the worst of Buck Thornton, a man who had been in their midst only a year?
15148How will we do it?
15148How''d you make your get- away?
15148I thought for a minute....""That it was Broderick?"
15148I wonder if you''ve ever been there?"
15148I wonder what for?"
15148If Pollard were a part of the horrible scheme, how about Cole Dalton, the sheriff?
15148If you''re rested up?"
15148Is there anything strange in that?"
15148It had to be brought, had n''t it?"
15148It was easy to see that Jimmie Clayton had upon the tip of his tongue something he wished to say, and that he hesitated... through fear?
15148It wo n''t do you any good; you know that, do n''t you?"
15148It''s only your word against his; do n''t you see?
15148Jest so long as they take a couple thousan''dollars out''n my pockets, an''then do n''t come back for_ all_ I got, it''s all right, huh?
15148Know who it was?"
15148Lost any cows off''n the Poison Hole?"
15148Maybe you''ll let me ride over and see you?"
15148Must he further puzzle over the insolent whims of a captious girl?
15148Never heard of them boys?
15148Next, what do you know about him?"
15148Now it''s nearly five months until that payment falls due, is n''t it?"
15148Now where was it?
15148Now, about your man?"
15148Now, what do you suppose she''s tackling?
15148Now, what would happen if it were proven that Thornton had stolen back from Pollard''s emissary five thousand of that money?
15148Now, what''s the line of talk?"
15148Now, will you answer my question?
15148Now,"a little sharply, a little anxiously, he thought,"you are not going to tell me that I was mistaken, are you?"
15148Now: why Buck Thornton in particular?
15148Oh, why had she attempted to do it, why had she not listened to Mr. Templeton?
15148One was the Kid, was n''t it?..."
15148Poh at me, will you?"
15148Poke Drury, this being your shack.... What''s the play?"
15148Pollard?"
15148Seein''as she ai n''t ever been there, havin''tol''me so on the stage less''n two hours ago, what''s the sense of sayin''a fool thing like that?
15148She looked at him curiously: why should she not go on?
15148She spoke hurriedly, saying:"Is n''t that the place?
15148She wondered if now they were going to arrest Buck Thornton and if Broderick were a deputy?
15148Smith?"
15148Something that Mr. Templeton says is plumb foolish and full of danger?"
15148Soon to be queen of Dead Man''s Alley, eh?
15148Suppose that he went, that he entered Pollard''s place, and at such an hour?
15148Ten days, and we''ll wind it up.... What''s Cole Dalton doing?"
15148That is,"and her smile came back, a very teasing smile, too,"if you''ll care to call at the house where I''m going to stop?
15148That it?"
15148That you, Clayton?"
15148That''s right, ai n''t it?"
15148The Kid?"
15148The up- and- down six feet four of me?"
15148Then you ask, for what?"
15148Then, conscious of a quick measuring look from the stage driver, she said as quietly as she could:"It does n''t look inviting, does it?"
15148There came quick answer, a man''s voice, heavy and curt, crying:"Who is it?"
15148This young woman has got it into her head...""You will remember, Mr. Templeton, that this is in strict confidence?"
15148Thornton, giving no sign that he had seen, said briefly to Hap Smith:"You''ve talked things over with Banker Templeton?
15148Thornton?"
15148Thornton?"
15148Upon what had she founded her belief?
15148Waiting for what?
15148Was he after all to find a clue to the man who had maimed his horse?
15148Was he laughing at her, knowing that she could not bring herself to the point of actually shooting?
15148Was it a mere hoax?
15148Was it possible that Winifred Waverly had written it, acting at Pollard''s command?
15148Was the note really from Miss Waverly?
15148Was this the way a coward should act?
15148We''ll get it to boiling in a minute, and...""An''a drink, Buck?"
15148Well, Thornton,"and only now he put out his hand to be gripped quickly and warmly by the other''s,"what is it?
15148What chance had Bill Varney of the Twin Dry Diggings stage only three weeks ago?
15148What chance has any man had for the last six months if he carried five hundred dollars on him and any one knew about it?
15148What chance would he have?
15148What did they do?"
15148What do you say to it?"
15148What do you say?"
15148What do you suppose a man like him is made out''n?"
15148What for?"
15148What had her uncle said to Thornton, what had the cowboy"swallowed whole"?
15148What happened?"
15148What in hell do you fellers think I''m payin''you for?"
15148What is it?"
15148What lay back of all this?
15148What man?"
15148What was the danger of which she spoke?
15148What''ll I tell Jimmie?"
15148What''s his name?"
15148What?
15148What?
15148When had this struggle, if struggle there had been, occurred?
15148Whence had he come and whither was he riding?
15148Where do I get off?"
15148Where the light is?"
15148Where?"
15148Which is it?"
15148Who could it be?
15148Who is it, Jimmie?"
15148Who is it?"
15148Who''d you suppose this new pilgrim is?"
15148Why did n''t you tell me?"
15148Why do you ask?"
15148Why do you suffer it?"
15148Why had she not come, and why had she set an hour like this?
15148Why should she show this eager excitement, because of a lost spur rowel?
15148Why was Broderick waiting, urging the sheriff to wait?
15148Why, why had n''t she locked the door?
15148Why?
15148Why?
15148Why?
15148Why?
15148Why?"
15148Why?"
15148Will you do it?"
15148Will you give me a chance to talk with you?"
15148Will you stay and give it?"
15148Will you tell me who that man was?"
15148Yet?"
15148You can git word to him, ca n''t you?
15148You can keep your punchers away from here that long, ca n''t you?"
15148You saw that?"
15148You were robbed of it?
15148You will give me a free hand?"
15148You will wait a few days, wo n''t you?"
15148You would n''t give a damn for... for a reward if they was to offer one, would you, Buck?
15148You''d remember how I stuck by you down in El Paso, wo n''t you, Buck?
15148You''ll turn off this side the Poison Hole, huh?"
15148now?"
15148that she was but doing the sort of thing he should look to one of Pollard''s blood to do?
17418Ai n''t it enough that I''ve come now?
17418Ai n''t that just your ruling, stranger?
17418Ai n''t you played with me long enough, Pearl?
17418Am I beautiful, Rudolf?
17418Am I hard and cold like them?
17418And did you love her?
17418And does he ever bring his cut- throat friends here?
17418And does it make you unhappy to think of her now?
17418And he, where is he?
17418And then?
17418And to whom do you pray, José, your patron saint, or rather sinner, the Devil?
17418And what about me?
17418And what is the serious side of life, Nitschkan?
17418And what kind of a place is there to stay at? 17418 And what will you do with it?"
17418And who is José?
17418And why is Harry in need of your example?
17418And will you stay here always?
17418And you let him say it, Gallito? 17418 And you will dance for us here in the mountains before you go away?"
17418And you, how do they make you feel?
17418And you, my jailer, will you be kind to me?
17418Are we?
17418Are you mad just because I did n''t come chasing down the hill in the dead of night? 17418 Are you needing me, Pearl?"
17418Are you sure it ai n''t José?
17418Because I give you shelter?
17418Bob,she said, in her softest tone,"Bob, you and I have been pals for a good while; you are n''t going against me now?"
17418But are you sure?
17418But do n''t you want to work all the time with your hands or your head, like other men do?
17418But tell me first why was your daughter sad when she first came here?
17418But what difference does that make to us?
17418But what is there to talk about? 17418 But what is there to think about?"
17418But when can we go, when?
17418But when?
17418But who can say?
17418But why did you stop there?
17418But why the devil,he cried,"should Hughie''s unreasoning cranks count with commonsense people?
17418But, Nitschkan,he asked,"were you never crazy about a man?"
17418Ca n''t I? 17418 Ca n''t I?"
17418Can I come in?
17418Can you get the ropes under him, Pearl, and tie''em in a kind of cradle?
17418Can you ride?
17418Care? 17418 Could n''t I?"
17418Did n''t I?
17418Do n''t you care a little that I got that name, Rudolf?
17418Do n''t you ever work?
17418Do n''t you?
17418Do they make you feel that way?
17418Do we not all do that?
17418Do you know that the crust on the snow is thicker than it has been yet? 17418 Do you think I ride all over the desert where I''ve a mind to without protection?
17418Do-- do you know,she asked rather hesitatingly,"how they got the information?"
17418Does Mrs. Thomas play as high as you?
17418Does he hope to bluff me into giving myself away?
17418Does n''t he make you laugh?
17418Eh, Lolita?
17418Feeling fine, ai n''t you?
17418Going to be here long?
17418Going to leave us soon?
17418Good sense,commended Flick,"but are you so sure you''ve entirely side- stepped that danger?
17418Gosh a''mighty,she cried,"ai n''t that kind o''reckless?"
17418Hanson?
17418Harry got my telegram?
17418Has José been wise?
17418Has Pearl told you that her Pop''ll probably be down to- day?
17418Has your Pop told you anything?
17418Have some?
17418Have you seen it yourself?
17418He ai n''t, ai n''t he?
17418He said that?
17418He''s doing a good mining business, ai n''t he?
17418Hello, Flick,with a sort of swaggering bravado,"our old friend, the Black Pearl, is going some to- night, ai n''t she?"
17418Honey, what are you driving at?
17418Honey, what is it?
17418How are you going down? 17418 How can he play all that so that you and I can see it, when he ca n''t see it himself?"
17418How can we go on like this?
17418How could any one be more free than you are?
17418How did I know about the woman?
17418How did you know about the woman, then?
17418How did you manage him or her?
17418How do you know?
17418How do you know?
17418How many big black headlines this morning?
17418How sprang that flower of Spain from such a gnarled old tree as you, Gallito? 17418 How''s that?"
17418How?
17418How?
17418Hughie and I were just waiting for company, were n''t we, Hughie?
17418Hughie, what color are Mr. Hanson''s clothes?
17418Hughie,said Seagreave softly,"what_ are_ you and your sister, anyway?"
17418I ai n''t heard of any José, have you Marthy?
17418I can think a- plenty,returned Pearl curtly,"but what is it you want me to study about now?
17418I suppose she''s out for big money?
17418I wonder who?
17418I wonder,he said,"if they''d nab me if I started to go over and talk to Hughie?
17418I''m wondering a lot about you, do you know it?
17418I''ve always got you to depend on anyway, have n''t I, Bob?
17418If the rats they''ve caught want to run around in the trap, what''s that to them?
17418In mines?
17418In the way? 17418 Is Hughie the brother?"
17418Is he?
17418Is it funny?
17418Is n''t it strange,she realized that he was speaking again,"that I have n''t been drawn to the desert, because so many have had to turn to it?
17418Is that all?
17418Is that so?
17418Is that so?
17418Is there anything else?
17418Is there?
17418It made a nice show at the weddin'', did n''t it? 17418 It''s kind of early for them to begin, ai n''t it, Bob?"
17418Just prospecting?
17418Look here, Gallito,he cried,"what''s all this about, anyway?
17418Look here,he said earnestly;"ai n''t you tired loafing around here?
17418Maybe you mean Lolita?
17418Me?
17418No murders, no lynchings, nor merry cowboys on bucking broncos shooting up the town?
17418No, is that so?
17418Oh, I am sorry about Hughie,she cried,"but what can I do?
17418Oh, Nitschkan, what is it? 17418 Oh, Pearl,"he cried,"what do you want to make things so hard for?
17418Oh, damn,said the parrot disgustedly;"why the hell ca n''t you shut up?"
17418Oh,halting, his hand on the latch,"where is that-- that José?
17418Oh,she cried at last,"how can I do anything but leave you?
17418Pearl, did you hear?
17418Pearl, you ai n''t going to leave me?
17418Pearl,he cried roughly,"what do you mean?
17418Pearl,there was the faintest shake in his voice,"what are you going to tell me, now?"
17418Pedro?
17418Pop and Bob Flick kindly took the bother of explaining things off your shoulders, did n''t they?
17418Quite like a brother,he said;"why not?
17418Read me my pedigree, ai n''t you?
17418Say, Bob,she began, a little hesitatingly,"does that Mrs. Hanson still live around here?"
17418Say, Pearl, what is this,he asked,"straight?"
17418Say, Sadie,breathed Mrs. Thomas,"do n''t you believe I could learn to do that?"
17418Say, have you took in the sheriff?
17418Say,he cried roughly,"what are you driving at, anyway?
17418Say,she began, with apparent irrelevance,"what you been doing, anyway?"
17418Shall I make him shoot, Pearl?
17418She slipped away before either Hugh or myself knew that she was gone, and what could we or you, for that matter, have done to prevent her?
17418She''s great, ai n''t she?
17418Supper ready?
17418That is queer, is n''t it?
17418That is well,replied Gallito with a sardonic twist of the mouth,"and where do you sleep to- night?"
17418Then how are you going to get free now?
17418Then,Hanson looked from one to the other, but spoke to Pearl,"you ai n''t brother and sister?"
17418Then-- then-- is she-- that woman in Colina-- pretty? 17418 There, will that make it worth your while?
17418Think of settling here?
17418To go where?
17418To what profit would it be?
17418To- morrow? 17418 Want to start right out and corral the whole desert, do n''t you?
17418We all been acting?
17418We''re always so dead sure what''s going to make other people happy, ai n''t we, Bob? 17418 Well, if you do n''t care much for José, how about Seagreave?"
17418Well, now you''ve told me, what else are you and Pop planning to do?
17418Well, we sure gave you some nice theatrical effects, did n''t we? 17418 Well, what do you put it down to?"
17418Well, what does she look like?
17418Well, what is the news?
17418Well, what of it?
17418Well,glowing with the importance of her news,"did you ever hear of Crop- eared José?"
17418Well,he exclaimed,"where you been keeping yourself, and why was n''t you down to see''em off?"
17418Well-- what happens? 17418 What about Saint Harry?
17418What about her?
17418What are you doin''to- day, anyway, hunting more trouble?
17418What are you doing here?
17418What are you doing so far away from home, anyway, Hughie?
17418What are your plans? 17418 What can hold''em?"
17418What did you let me come up here for? 17418 What do I want with letters?
17418What do you do it for then, Bob?
17418What do you mean by acting this way?
17418What do you mean?
17418What do you mean?
17418What do you see out there?
17418What do you suppose your Pop''ll say to your signing up with Hanson?
17418What does life mean to you?
17418What is he doing that for?
17418What is it that you hear that I do n''t?
17418What is it?
17418What is real life to you?
17418What is she doing there?
17418What kind of a howdy- do is this? 17418 What kind?"
17418What made you stay up there? 17418 What of it?"
17418What shall I do? 17418 What show?"
17418What was it you were thinking of?
17418What was she like?
17418What was that?
17418What you knockin''down the cook- stove for?
17418What you mean, Pearl? 17418 What''d you want''em to take notice of you for?"
17418What''s got you now?
17418What''s she bothering you, a stranger, for?
17418What''s she got to say about it?
17418What''s the good word with Hughie?
17418What''s the joke, mom?
17418What''s the matter with Colina?
17418What''s the matter with you two?
17418What''s the use of livin''in a world of tenderfoots if you do n''t use''em?
17418What''s the use? 17418 What''s the use?"
17418What''s your features?
17418Where are the mines that Mr. Gallito is interested in?
17418Where from?
17418Where in heaven''s name is there any place for it?
17418Where''s José?
17418Where''s a place to stay?
17418Where''s he been traveling?
17418Where''s your heads? 17418 Where?"
17418Who is he?
17418Who so much? 17418 Who the hell is her?"
17418Who''s this José you''re all talking about?
17418Who?
17418Why are you here?
17418Why could n''t she attend to her own business?
17418Why did n''t you come before?
17418Why did n''t you think about getting yourself some new clothes, like any other woman would?
17418Why do you not convert Saint Harry?
17418Why does a man like you stay here?
17418Why not?
17418Why were n''t you down at the bridge last night?
17418Why were n''t you down at the gully waiting for us?
17418Why, Pearl, what''s the matter?
17418Why, Pearl,he faltered,"ai n''t you glad to see me?
17418Why, that woman up in Colina? 17418 Why, we''re going to be together first and last; ai n''t that enough?
17418Why,she asked with her usual directness,"why did you get up and walk up and down the room last night when Hughie was playing?
17418Would n''t I?
17418Would you go with him,he asked,"if Sweeney offers you as much or more money?"
17418Yes, Pearl, why were n''t you down to meet us?
17418Yes, how? 17418 You find it pleasant?"
17418You wonder-- what?
17418You''ve seen?
17418''Mommie,''she says to me once,''I wonder when the right man''ll come along and learn me to love him?''
17418''Where can I go,''she cried,''where he wo n''t come?''
17418Again she questioned him:"From what far country?"
17418Ai n''t that so, Marthy?"
17418Ai n''t you just as good as when you came?"
17418And how?"
17418And one thing more,"he stopped a second to light another cigarette,"what about Hughie?
17418And then, Hughie--""And so you stirred up Pop to watch him?"
17418And you''re not going against me now, Bob, either, are you?"
17418Another glass of cognac?
17418Any hotel?"
17418Are both horses in the stable?"
17418Are you mad?
17418Are you not afraid?"
17418Are you willing to give all that up just so you can force me to sign with Sweeney?
17418As pretty as I am?"
17418But he''s got his own cabin, ai n''t he?
17418But now, where is this show and what time does it begin?"
17418But say, boys, honest, what bug you all got in your heads?
17418But what am I thinking of?
17418But what is it now?"
17418But what of it?
17418But what''ll the Pearl do?
17418But what''s that got to do with it when I love you like I do?
17418But you live in the desert, do n''t you?"
17418But you-- how are you?"
17418But"--with drooping head and affectedly humble and dejected mien--"it could n''t be expected to be enough for you, could it?"
17418But, well, what does it matter, anyway?
17418Did she ask the snow peaks yonder?
17418Did you ever feel if you could just be free, really free, you would n''t want anything else in the world?"
17418Did you ever see anything like that?"
17418Do n''t I know what you two cut- throats stand ready to do to me?
17418Do n''t she stand between you and me, now, for a while?"
17418Do n''t you know that if you get a thousand husbands they''ll all treat you as bad or worse''n Seth did?"
17418Do n''t you think I''ve got a side, too?
17418Do you get that?"
17418Do you love me?"
17418Do you not recall that he was middle- weight champion of Cape Colony, that he was a scout all through the Boer war?
17418Do you suppose I have n''t caught on to the way you''ve all been acting?"
17418Do you suppose they would permit me a word with him?"
17418Do you think I want my daughter''s tears and reproaches for the rest of my life?
17418Do you think shutting José up behind bars would make him any better?
17418Do you think the sheriff will forgive you that you lied to him and fooled him?
17418Do you think you could walk out to them and back?"
17418Does Seagreave know the secret trails over the mountains?
17418Eh?"
17418Going so soon?
17418Got enough to float''em?"
17418Hanson?"
17418Has he been cutting up rough,"he glanced toward her father,"and worrying you?"
17418Has he been having me trailed?
17418Have I not cause?"
17418Have you been treasuring spite against me all these months, and is this your way of getting even?"
17418Have you forgotten that he has not always lived in these mountains?
17418He always helps out the orchestra when he is here, does n''t he?"
17418He ceased to lounge against the bar and involuntarily straightened himself:"What about Bob Flick?"
17418He had evidently fallen on his back; and like a dagger zig- zagging its way through her heart was the thought,"What if that, too, were broken?"
17418His impulse was to cry,"Who?
17418His reply had been quick and sharp as the beat of a hammer on an anvil; but now he spoke more softly:"But will she go at all, my friend?
17418How are you going to play it, anyway?
17418How can it be?"
17418How did I know that the boys were going to get the bridge across at midnight?"
17418How does that strike you?"
17418How many times do you think he will stand that?
17418How would you like to go out on your snow- shoes to- morrow morning?"
17418How would you like to see your name all over London and Paris?
17418I do n''t work no claim expectin''to get nothin''out of it, do I?
17418I know Sweeney and his limits,"significantly,"and you wo n''t make up the balance of what Sweeney lacks, either, do you hear?
17418I know you about as well as anybody in the world, do n''t I?"
17418Is n''t it so?
17418Is she kind of saucy and quick, or is she quiet and slow?
17418Is she little or big?
17418Is there?"
17418It is above one''s head and the wall is too smooth to climb in order to reach it--""How can José get in then?"
17418It must be, therefore, that there was some other woman in his life; but where?
17418Just to make a monkey of me?
17418Kind of sulky, ai n''t she?
17418Life, did he say"life"?
17418Looks about three miles off, do n''t he?"
17418Nitschkan?"
17418No, it is useless to argue,"as Pearl began again her futile rebellion against the inexorable forces of nature,"but what am I thinking of?"
17418Oh, Pearl, do n''t you, ca n''t you see your way to marrying me?"
17418Oh, by the way, now I think of it-- is there a train goes straight from here to Colina?"
17418Oh, what shall we do?
17418Say,"animatedly,"I told you to ask me about those emeralds last night, did n''t I?"
17418See?
17418Sha''n''t I go?"
17418Should she mention the fact in a letter to her mother?
17418Since his eyes were fixed on the red spark at the end of his cigarette, who could see the quick flash in them?
17418So she''s really here?"
17418That he also saw service in India and has certain decorations to show for it?
17418The manager could not restrain the question which rose to his lips:"But your daughter, is she willing that you should make all these arrangements?"
17418Then how is our dear José to escape?
17418Then what you playing with me like a cat does with a mouse for?
17418They have a dance once a week in the town hall, do n''t they?
17418Think you can travel right over to San Bernardino yonder?
17418This way, you say?"
17418Thomas?"
17418Thomas?"
17418Understand?"
17418Understand?"
17418Up this way, you say?"
17418Was he so stupid that he did not think her so?
17418Was it gold she desired?
17418Was it name, place, state, she asked?
17418Was she at last to know the splendor of loving and giving?
17418Well, I wish you''d manage to keep Hughie from butting in as usual?"
17418Well, did you say you was waitin''to be introduced?
17418Well, what the hell do I care?
17418Were they not Spaniards who had danced all through their childhood and youth, as naturally as they breathed?
17418Were you afraid I''d put him on to it?"
17418What about him?"
17418What difference does it make?
17418What do you expect?"
17418What do you mean?"
17418What do you mean?"
17418What else was there for her to do?
17418What had the vain and fleeting world to offer him who had so long ignored it?
17418What is it about him, anyway?"
17418What is it all about?"
17418What is it you see in him?"
17418What is it?"
17418What is the West coming to?
17418What is this gift of music?"
17418What joke you playing on me, honey?
17418What possesses you, anyway?"
17418What shall I do?"
17418What was it in his music that made you forget all of us and even, as you said, forget that you were not in your own cabin?"
17418What will they think of that?
17418What''ll you have?"
17418What''s the limit?"
17418What''s the matter with you?"
17418What?
17418When is the next one?"
17418When you got a camp that''s surrounded by cañons about a thousand foot deep, how you going to get into it, if the folks inside do n''t want you?
17418When''s the wedding, Pearl?"
17418Where--?
17418Who could prove anything else?
17418Who does n''t?"
17418Who was she to object to past peccadillos on his part?
17418Who would have the heart to put Pan in prison?
17418Who would take your word under the circumstances?"
17418Why did n''t you come?"
17418Why do n''t you ask Bob Flick?
17418Why is she going to come around now, if she never has before?"
17418Why were n''t you down at the gully last night?
17418Why would you rather hunt bear or mountain lions than shoot squirrels?
17418Why,"a flash of alarm on his face,"what''s the matter, Hughie?"
17418Will he live?
17418Will you engage to get him safely out of Colina on a railroad train?
17418Wine, understand?
17418Wo n''t you listen to me, Pearl?"
17418Would n''t he let you?"
17418Would you want us to give him up?"
17418You call this life?"
17418You do n''t call that married?"
17418You do n''t mean to say that you got any foolish ideas about it making any difference whether a preacher says a few words over us or not?
17418You let him go away safe after saying it?"
17418You see those sand hills yonder?
17418You two ai n''t been introduced, have you?
17418You will go with us this afternoon, Bob?"
17418You?"
17418ai n''t that mirage pretty?"
17418asked Gallito, speaking in a low tone, after first glancing toward Pearl,"and you have made a room ready for her?"
17418cried the sheriff, recovering himself,"how did you get here?
17418he broke off,"what am I telling you this for, when you know more than I do?"
17418he fell again to desperate pleading,"you wo n''t turn me down just for a mistake?"
17418he muttered, lifting his face to the sky,"what does a man know about women, anyway?"
17418he went on,"when ai n''t I thinking of you?
17418his bold eyes looked gaily into hers,"you all seem determined to make me out bad, do n''t you?
17418returned Gallito with his unvarying courtesy, although his raised eyebrows showed some perplexity,"to-- to-- a religion?"
17418she asked, that soft tenseness still in her voice,"and did she love you?"
20082And Burning Star-- did you see him? 20082 And have you been way up to the third story?
20082And will you tell Mrs. Fletcher? 20082 And you have n''t seen her since-- not even her picture?"
20082And you''ve got to invite them to dinner?
20082Bad news, Dean?
20082Burleigh, do you mean, or his queer guest?
20082But what if the Indian Bureau should let them have breech- loaders?
20082By heaven, Burleigh,muttered the old trader to himself,"are you the deepest man I ever met, or only the most infernal scoundrel?"
20082Can anything be wrong?
20082Cavalry?
20082Did you notice that, Nell? 20082 Do you know-- Is there anything new?--anything worse?"
20082Do you mean,he finally cried,"that-- that it''s beyond Frayne that they''re going-- that it''s money they''re to take?"
20082Good Lord, Marshall,said Loomis, as they cleared the gate,"if that''s the only approbation this day''s work will bring us what will the results be?
20082Has n''t Jessie written you of how Nell has grown and improved?
20082Have you any idea, colonel,he began the moment the officers reached him,"where Major Burleigh can be?
20082How can it be possible?
20082How''d you find out if they would n''t talk?
20082In God''s name, what''s wrong?
20082Is it not possible that he has found something along the lower Laramie-- something where his troop is needed much more than here doing stable guard?
20082Is it true,he asked,"that the government means to establish a post at Warrior Gap?
20082My child,said he,"what do you know about it?"
20082Now, Mr. Dean, will you tell me what you think of that for a pappoose?
20082Of Hal?
20082Oh, what has happened?
20082Really? 20082 The fellow who gave the tip to Birdsall''s people?"
20082Then-- you had it with you in the Indian fight?
20082They ca n''t have seen us, can they, lieutenant?
20082Thirty men-- mounted?--no wagons or-- anything?
20082This? 20082 Twig that?"
20082Well, sergeant, what''d he say?
20082Well, what fault is that of his? 20082 What do you mean?"
20082What is it?
20082What on earth does John Folsom want of a housekeeper?
20082What outfit?
20082What then?
20082What was it? 20082 What''s amiss?"
20082What''s happened?
20082What? 20082 When did you see them first and how many are there?"
20082Where is Folsom?
20082Where is Hal?
20082Which way are you going now?
20082Who are you, brothers-- friends?
20082Who put them in circulation, Major Burleigh?
20082Who was he, really?
20082Who was it?
20082Why do n''t he marry again?
20082Why, where did this come from?
20082Why?
20082Will you go?
20082With or without the coveted scalps?
20082Wo n''t he tell who they are?
20082Would you mind taking me through that way?
20082You do n''t suppose he''d come back to rob his own office?
20082You got my note?
20082You know I opposed the sending of that party? 20082 You know he planned the whole business-- sent''em around by Cañon Springs and the Sweetwater?"
20082You know what''s happened?
20082You will see-- the ladies out to camp, Loomis?
20082You''ll come back by way of Hal''s, wo n''t you?
20082You''ve been thinking-- what, Daddy?
20082''Well, will you have the goodness to say what charges have been laid against me?''
20082All safe at the ranch?"
20082And all for what?
20082And now, what fate was staring him in the face?
20082But how''d it get so blackened there-- and crushed?
20082But people east of the Missouri said:"Who the devil is John Folsom?
20082But who betrayed the secret?
20082But, Hal, where''s your wife?"
20082But, who the devil is John Folsom?
20082By the way, where was that photo?
20082Ca n''t we send help?"
20082Come right to the point-- What crime is young Dean charged with?
20082Could it be that Burleigh lingered on in hopes of their reappearance below?
20082Could it be that Burleigh stood in need of all this money to cover other sums that he had misapplied?
20082Could it be that he had planned this sudden sending of young Dean on a desperate mission in revenge that he could not take officially?
20082Did n''t that bullet crease it?"
20082Did you see any Indians?"
20082Do you know who Lizette is?"
20082Do you think Mr. Dean will care to come?"
20082Father, where is he?
20082Fletcher?"
20082Had he really so misjudged, so wronged this gentleman?
20082Have you heard anything of Hal, sir?"
20082Her voice was far from cordial as she asked:"Were you looking for any one, Mrs. Fletcher?
20082How did you leave them?
20082How is she this morning?"
20082How many were there?"
20082I wonder what that means?"
20082Is Hal here-- or coming?"
20082Is it true that Major Burleigh has gone thither?"
20082Lizette,"he cried,"you again?
20082May I push on to- night?"
20082Merciful heaven, man, who''s to help us?
20082Might it not be that if relief came not speedily Papa Folsom would yield to the spell and fall asleep in his easy- chair?
20082Now I ask you as man to man what it is you have to tell?
20082Now, Jake and Lannion could have shot them down and borne him within, but to what good?
20082One by being informed through some half- breed spy, lurking about Frayne; but then who would be dastard enough to send such word?
20082See here, man, you do n''t mean to say it is because he did n''t get here three days ago?
20082She says she needed air and a walk, but why should she have chosen the back- gate and the alley as a way to air and sunshine?"
20082She would inquire of Mrs. Fletcher, and meantime would the major step inside?
20082Sure, you''re not hit?"
20082The precious package for which so much had been risked was here-- but what detained the command?
20082The woman, I believe, who accidentally scared your horse and threw you?"
20082Then lowering his voice,"Has Captain Newhall returned?"
20082Then, said Burleigh, would n''t Folsom go on his note, so that he could borrow at the bank?
20082There''s nothing we can do here, is there?
20082Was a boy lieutenant to shame him before officers of the general''s staff and expect to go unwhipped?
20082Was he there?"
20082Was it not Miss Folsom''s duty to descend and take the burden of entertainment off those elder shoulders?
20082Was n''t it romantic?
20082Was that butt- headed subaltern to be the means of ruining his prospects right here and now when he stood so sorely in need of aid?
20082What can I tell them?"
20082What can have detained him, do you think?"
20082What could be the secret of that woman''s intense watchfulness?
20082What could have lured them into that gloomy rift at such a time?
20082What could laborers do with their money up there, even if they had it?
20082What did these women mean by telling me I must have a, companion-- a guide-- etc.?"
20082What do you suppose I studied housekeeping for at school?
20082What does he know about it?
20082What does it all mean?"
20082What had he done with it?
20082What had he to fear?
20082What if Folsom would back him?
20082What inspiration had led Dean out of it?
20082What is wrong?"
20082What made him hurry us away from the northeast point, do you suppose?"
20082What officer or government employà © revealed the fact that Dean was going with so much treasure?--and what could have been his object?
20082What shall we do if he hangs on?
20082What took him out to the fort, do you suppose?"
20082What was to prevent?
20082When did you leave the ranch?
20082Where do the boys meet you?"
20082Where on earth had he heard that voice before?
20082Where was he to raise the ten thousand dollars that must be sent to the post quartermaster at Warrior Gap?
20082Where were the rest?
20082Where''s the rest of the troop?"
20082Which way were they coming?"
20082Which would see the other first?
20082Who are you?"
20082Who could assure her they would not have another pitched battle?
20082Who could have given such an order?
20082Who could have predicted that?
20082Who could say that the fate that befell the garrison at Warrior Gap might not await the troop when next it rode away?
20082Who could they be?"
20082Who said I was going out?"
20082Who would have imagined payment would have to be made before July, when some reasonable amount of work had been done?
20082Who''s to protect these poor women and children if we go?
20082Who, then, could have opened both blind and door and let in that flood of light?
20082Why did they not return?
20082Why do these-- these people at the fort hem and haw and hesitate when they speak about him?
20082Why do you ask?"
20082Why does n''t he come?
20082Why should human hands be so stealthy?
20082Why were they hiding here in the ravine, instead of marching?
20082Why were they so few in number?
20082Why, what show would those fellows have with their old squirrel rifles and gas- pipe Springfields against our new breech- loaders?
20082Would Folsom go in with him, put up twelve thousand five hundred, and Burleigh would do the rest?
20082Yet almost the first question was,"Did you see any Indians?"
20082You do n''t care to go on this ride this morning one bit, do you dear?"
20082You got buffalo meat?"
20082You have only known Major Burleigh a little while, is it not so?"
20082You know it was all ordered on Burleigh''s urging and representations, do you not?"
20082You will come back, Loomis?"
20082gasped Elinor,"you do n''t mean they attacked the ranch?"
20082he cried, in the tongue he knew so well"Are my brothers crazed?
20082she cried, as she seized the swarthy young fellow''s hands and shook them up and down"Do n''t you know me-- Winona that used to be?
20082what are you doing?"
20082why it''s one of Godfrey''s--''The Hilda,''do n''t you know?
20617''Private Road,''eh? 20617 Ai n''t we got Young Wild West hard an''fast?"
20617An''left Young Wild West out there alone, eh?
20617An''there''s another boy?
20617An''there''s only three of''em?
20617But ca n''t yer tell me now?
20617But jest tell me how yer expect ter pay ther toll?
20617But what do they call it that for?
20617By the long route, I suppose?
20617Can I have a drink of water?
20617Could you guarantee me three days to get away from Silver Bend if I agreed to let you go by paying the toll?
20617Did it hit any one?
20617Did n''t you say that the outlaws consist of cowboys who have been forced to light out from the ranches they worked upon?
20617Did you get the money from Young Wild West''s partners-- that''s the question?
20617Did you hear that, boys? 20617 Disappear?"
20617Do I? 20617 Do you mean that, you heathen?"
20617Do you mean to say that I stole the card from the pack?
20617Do you want to try the other trick again?
20617Forbidden Pass, eh?
20617He is, eh? 20617 How aboutee Misler Wild?"
20617How are yer? 20617 How are you all?
20617How are you?
20617How did yer make out in Big Bonanza, Chuck?
20617How do you know that Cap Roche is ther one that''s goin''ter settle about your fate, Young Wild West?
20617How do you like that?
20617How far is your ranch from here?
20617How is business over at the store and post office?
20617How is it that you are able to give such a guarantee as that, stranger?
20617How long have you been West?
20617How much money have yet got with yer, Young Wild West?
20617How much will you bet, you windy galoot?
20617I reckon that looks all right, do n''t it, boys?
20617I reckon yer could n''t catch up to ther galoot, eh, Wild?
20617I suppose it was you who turned the sign over?
20617I wonder if ther sign was all right?
20617I wonder where that trail leads to?
20617I would like to go along, Wild,spoke up Arietta,"Why ca n''t we all go?"
20617Is Wild all right, Arietta?
20617Is Wild all right?
20617Is that so? 20617 Is that so?
20617Is that so? 20617 Is that so?"
20617Is that so?
20617It could n''t have been better if we''d been lookin''up somethin''that was ter be good an''excitin'', could it?
20617Looks as neat as a pin, too, do n''t he?
20617Me? 20617 Now, then, what does that mean?"
20617Oh, he''s man, eh?'' 20617 Oh, is that so?"
20617So that is your opinion, is it?
20617So the heathen is showing you something with the cards, eh, boys?
20617So yer come through ther pass, eh?
20617So you are going back to the ranch, eh?
20617So you think you can judge pretty well, eh?
20617So you''re here yet, eh?
20617Take him alive, Charlie,advised Arietta,"Where are Jim and the girls?"
20617Talks like he was someone what sorter knows all about things, eh, boys?
20617That?
20617Them gals is sartinly worth lookin''at, ai n''t they? 20617 Then he fooled you, after all?"
20617We do want to go real bad, do n''t we, girls?
20617Well, do n''t you think a person has a right to wear good clothes if he can well afford it?
20617Well, what do you take me to be?
20617Well, what is ther third galoot?
20617Well, yer kin bet your life we''ll tell ther outlaws, wo n''t we?
20617Weston, eh?
20617What are you doing with a dead mouse in your pockets?
20617What are you, a young fiend?
20617What in the world are you doing with that gray beard? 20617 What is the matter, Hop?
20617What kind of a show do you want? 20617 What sort of people are they over in Silver Bend?"
20617What was the matter in the cave?
20617What''s all this talk about, gents?
20617What''s that?
20617What''s ther use of talkin''ter ther young dandy? 20617 Whattee lat?"
20617Where Misler Charlie? 20617 Where did you see him?"
20617Where do you think you are coming out in this game?
20617Where does that trail lend to, John?
20617Where is that rascal of a Chinaman?
20617Where is your money, gal?
20617Where''s Anna an''Eloise?
20617Where''s Cap?
20617Where''s Young Wild West?
20617Which way are you going?
20617Who would have thought of doing that? 20617 Yer did, eh?
20617Yer want ter know what was ther matter in ther cave, eh?
20617Yes?
20617You are going after them, then?
20617You did n''t think I was going to leave so soon, did you?
20617You do n''t count ther tricks you''re played on me, I s''pose? 20617 You do n''t suppose it is anywhere near here, do you?
20617You lettee Miss Anna and Missy Eloise go?
20617You saw me looking at it?
20617You see um jack of hearts?
20617You will havee um cigar?
20617You will, eh? 20617 You would, eh?
20617Young Wild West, I reckon?
20617Young Wild West,said Cap Roche, as the boy was led out to the post,"are you ready to give your promise that we will not be interfered with?"
20617A sort of dashing young fellow, who can shoot well, is n''t he?"
20617An''how''s everybody with yer?"
20617Anything more you would like to know?"
20617But she ai n''t here now, is she?"
20617But what''s ther odds?
20617But where is Charlie?"
20617Did he come here alone?"
20617Did n''t yer read ther sign?"
20617Do n''t forget that, will you?"
20617Do yer understand that?"
20617Hop no sooner had his hands free than he said:"You wantee me tellee lat ley mustee git tee velly muchee money, and len you lettee Young Wild West go?"
20617How about it, boys?"
20617How is business, anyway?"
20617How long have you been West, Sonny?"
20617I s''pose I''ll have a chance ter talk to yer after supper?"
20617I will admit that you have ruined our game here, but you do n''t suppose that you are going to live to enjoy telling about it, do you?"
20617I wonder what they kin he doin''here?"
20617I would n''t be wise if I carried a big pile of money around with me, would I?"
20617Quite a sign, is n''t it?"
20617Roche?"
20617Roche?"
20617So ther galoots wants us ter pay money, eh?
20617So they''re here, are they?
20617Sorry you came to Forbidden Pass, are you not?"
20617Thought it was fine fun ter make me dance last night, did n''t yer?
20617Told you to tell any outlaws you met that he was after them, eh, Chuck?"
20617Well, what do you think of this business, anyhow?
20617Well, yer did n''t finish their job, did yer?"
20617What did I hear yer say-- that Young Wild West is only a boy?"
20617What did yer want ter come through Forbidden Pass fur, anyhow?
20617What do yer s''pose Young Wild West told me as we left Big Bonanza?"
20617What was it?"
20617What''s it goin''ter be, fur all hands?"
20617Whattee you care?"
20617Where is he stopping?"
20617Where would he land if he did?''
20617Who fired the shot I heard?"
20617Who told you that you could come over here?"
20617Who would have thought it?"
20617Why do n''t you put up a bigger shanty, like we''ve got over at the Bend?
20617Why, do you know anything about them galoots, Bob?"
20617Why, have yer got a big pile of money?"
20617Yer all heard what ther boy said as we come away, I reckon?"
20617You are not afraid of being held up in Forbidden Pass, then?"
20617You do n''t have no idea that you''re ever goin''ter git away from here alive, do yer?"
20617You do n''t suppose that I came here without knowing just what I was doing, do you?"
20617You know me, then?"
20617You''ve got a heathen here, eh?"
20617You''ve heard of him, I reckon?"
20617Young Wild West''s face lighted up with a smile as he read the following:"Cap Roche,""General Store,""Silver Bend, Nev.""What do you think of that?"
16551''Well, I trust the Girl who runs The Polka is well?
16551A bandit? 16551 A man always says,''who was the first one?''
16551Ai n''t I your boy?
16551Ai n''t it enough, Rance, that he must be lyin''dead down some canyon, with his mouth full of snow?
16551Ai n''t we your boys no more?
16551An offer?
16551An''that''s all?
16551An''the woman?
16551An''we are, we are, ai n''t we?
16551And if she has n''t seen him, where was he going?
16551And the ace-- how many times did it win?
16551And this Nina Micheltoreña-- you say she is coming here to- night?
16551And what about me? 16551 And you came here to tell me this?"
16551And you found Dante funny, did you?
16551And you never meant it?
16551And you saw him?
16551And you, Señorita?
16551Any sisters?
16551Anythin''wrong with The Polka?
16551Are you deaf?
16551Are you made of stone? 16551 Art thou here at last, my son?"
16551Be you goin''to show them Ridge boys we''ve petered out an''culture''s a dead dog here?
16551Bread? 16551 But I ca n''t stay here?"
16551But I have my boys,she went on more cheerfully,"an''what more do I need?"
16551But had n''t you better take the bed and let me sleep over here?
16551But how are we to know?
16551But what on earth do the boys want?
16551But when it''s very cold up here, cold, and it snows?
16551But when they''re gone-- isn''t that rather a careless place to leave it?
16551But where do you live? 16551 But you said that you would love me always?"
16551Come anotha? 16551 Come on, boys,"he growled in his deep bass voice;"do n''t you intend to let a lady go to bed?"
16551Come, now, tell us what your name is?
16551Dead? 16551 Dead?"
16551Deportment? 16551 Did I say that once?
16551Did you ever play Lame Soldier, m''friend?
16551Did you marry my squaw yet?
16551Did you?
16551Do n''t it feel funny here-- kind o''creepy?
16551Do n''t shoot!--Don''t you see he''s tryin''to--?
16551Do n''t that sound horrid?
16551Do what?
16551Do you know who I am?
16551Do you know you''re talkin''to the Sheriff?
16551Do you think I''d want to shield a man who tried to rob me?
16551Do you want them to see you in my cabin?
16551Do you want them to think Academy''s busted?
16551Does it look like an effort, Wowkle?
16551Does n''t that depend on whether they love her or not? 16551 Ever sample one o''our mountain blizzards?"
16551Everybody''ll have the same?
16551Fine as silk,vouched Sonora, adding in the next breath:"But, say, Mr. Ashby, how long you been chasm''up this road agent?"
16551Fixed it?
16551Forget you? 16551 Friends?"
16551Funny? 16551 Gentlemen, what''s wrong with the cyards?"
16551Gone where?
16551Good of him, is n''t it?
16551Have one?
16551Have you been here long?
16551Have you had a fine trip so far?
16551Have you just come in?
16551Have you tried not to?
16551Heading this way?
16551His girl?
16551Hold her letters, you understand?
16551Hold on, hold on--he began and paused to philosophise:"After all, gents, what''s death?
16551How about the reward, Señor Ashby?
16551How can I do it? 16551 How did they ever risk it in this storm?"
16551How did you know I was comin''on this''ere stage?
16551How do you know he''s here?
16551How do you know the man''s a road agent?
16551How so?
16551How?
16551Huh-- seven monse?
16551Huh?
16551Huh?
16551I s''pose they had one o''them little lovers''quarrels an''that made''er tell you, eh?
16551I say, Nick, have you saw the Girl?
16551If I tho''t--began Sonora, but Rance rudely cut in with:"Where is this trail?"
16551In a few minutes I''ll be quite free, and then--"An''you''ll make a little home for me when you''re free-- soon-- will you?
16551In there?
16551In what particular spot will you have it?
16551Is he an American or a Mexican?
16551Is it so very severe here when there''s a blizzard on?
16551Is n''t it lonely?
16551Is that it?
16551Is there-- is there anyone else?
16551Is this fellow a Spaniard?
16551Is what?
16551It''s the next hand that tells, Jack, ai n''t it?
16551Johnson, what the devil''s the matter with you?
16551Johnson?
16551Leavin''us?
16551Lived in The Polka?
16551Lonely? 16551 Loving me?
16551Me waltz? 16551 Me-- speak?"
16551Me? 16551 Me?
16551Might what?
16551Must you be a- movin''so soon?
16551My lad,he began,"you promise to carry out my wishes after I am gone?"
16551My roses-- what did you do with them, Wowkle?
16551No?
16551No?
16551No?
16551Not Johnson?
16551Not alive?
16551Not goin'', old Dooda Day, are you?
16551Not these?
16551Now, what do you mean by that?
16551Oh, Lord, must I?
16551Oh, then, Sonora,suggested the Girl, covering up her embarrassment as best she could,"wo n''t you make a speech?"
16551Once more we''re friends, eh, boys?
16551One mile, eh?
16551Only it''s kind o''funny how things come out, ai n''t it? 16551 Ready?
16551Remember what fun I made o''you when you took up with Billy Jackrabbit?
16551Sardines? 16551 Say, Wowkle, how do you think he''ll like''em?
16551Say, did you ever ask any other woman to marry you?
16551Say, take a chair and set down for a while, wo n''t you?
16551Say, what did the last eight do?
16551So early? 16551 So this is the gentleman the Girl loves?"
16551So you did bring in my saddle, eh, Nick?
16551So, you dropped into The Polka to- night to play a little game of poker? 16551 Solace or Honeydew?"
16551Speak up-- who are you?
16551Sure you ai n''t makin''a mistake?
16551Sure; what does he want?
16551That was a lovely day, Girl, on the road to Monterey, was n''t it?
16551That''s only the wind,she said, adding as she drew her robe tightly about her:"Gettin''cold, ai n''t it?"
16551The Girl? 16551 The cuss?"
16551The woman-- the woman d''you say?
16551Then why not come? 16551 Then you do n''t love me any more?"
16551Think so?
16551This means--he said, turning away from the window and meeting her glance--"surely it does n''t mean that I ca n''t leave Cloudy to- night?"
16551Tol''you, Sonora? 16551 Understand what?"
16551Wait? 16551 Was it Fate or the back trail?"
16551Was it?
16551Well, Mr. Johnson, it seems to be us a- keepin''house here to- night, do n''t it?
16551Well, boys, how d''you like bein''snowed in for a week?
16551Well, had n''t you better take them off then?
16551Well, was n''t it?
16551Well, what are men made for?
16551Well?
16551What are you doin''here? 16551 What are you laughing at?"
16551What cigars have you?
16551What did she say?
16551What did she see in that Sacramento shrimp, will you tell me?
16551What do you mean?
16551What do you see in me?
16551What do you want''i m for?
16551What for? 16551 What has the Señor been saying to you?"
16551What the deuce is up?
16551What the devil are they talking about anyway?
16551What you goin''to get?
16551What you thinkin''of?
16551What''s better''n this?
16551What''s his game?
16551What''s that?
16551What''s that?
16551What''s that?
16551What''s the good o''my thinkin''o''you? 16551 What''s your drift, anyway?"
16551What, here among gentlemen?
16551What-- you leavin''us?
16551What? 16551 What?
16551What? 16551 What?
16551What?
16551Where do you live?
16551Where is the Dante you were telling me about?
16551Where''s the man who wanted to curl my hair?
16551Who can it be?
16551Who is it?
16551Who''s that knockin'', I wonder?
16551Who''s the man?
16551Who''s the man?
16551Who-- me?
16551Why are you dragging him in?
16551Why did you not come to my room-- surely you knew that there was danger here?
16551Why did you send for me to meet you here?
16551Why not? 16551 Why not?"
16551Why, Larkins-- Jim-- what''s the trouble-- what''s the matter?
16551Why, what do you mean?
16551Why, what is it, Girl? 16551 Why, what''s the matter?"
16551Why, what''s--?
16551Yes, a lady, d''you hear me?
16551You are going away then?
16551You do?
16551You drop mail at the greaser settlement?
16551You know I ca n''t figger out jest exactly what you are?
16551You know what that means, do n''t you?
16551You let''i m go?
16551You say you''ve come to warn me?
16551You see that man there?
16551You set''i m free?
16551You sing for get those?
16551You swear it?
16551You think you can play poker,--that''s your conviction, is it? 16551 You want a game, eh?"
16551You were n''t there,he explained hurriedly,"when he came in and began flirting with the Girl and--""Ramerrez making love to the Girl?"
16551You''re going to make me an offer?
16551You''re sure you would be more comfortable by the fire-- sure, now?
16551You? 16551 ******Why, what have you got the door barred for?"
16551--like a little rabbit, eh?"
16551--what?"
16551.?
16551.?
16551.?"
16551.?"
16551.?"
16551.?"
16551.?"
16551.?"
16551.?"
16551.?"
16551A moment later, however, he added:"Me marry you-- how much me get give fatha-- huh?"
16551Ai n''t it funny to feel like that?"
16551Ai n''t it wonderful what a man''ll do when it comes to a woman-- ain''t it wonderful?"
16551Ai n''t that great?
16551Ai n''t we got style enough for you?"
16551An''ornamental sort o''cuss, ai n''t he?
16551And as for your looks?
16551And so there was, perhaps, a shade more of respect and a little less assurance in his manner when he asked:"And you like Monterey?"
16551And then added, a little more bravely:"How''s everythin''?"
16551And then again with almost a sob:"Do you think me a man to hide behind a woman?"
16551And then as she surveyed them through a scented cloud and bowed her head, he added:"How do you know it?"
16551And then before Johnson could answer her, she went on to say:"So you think you can play poker?"
16551And then, seeing that the Girl made no move in his direction, he asked, still smiling:"May I take off my coat?"
16551And turning his back on the man he faced the Girl with:"So, you run The Polka?"
16551And turning once more upon the Girl, he demanded excitedly:"Is that it?
16551And what did they do in return for our kindness?
16551And yourself?"
16551And--"She broke off short and ended with:"Nick, who''s that cigar for?"
16551Angrily Rance strode over to her and sneered bitingly:"You do n''t believe it yet, eh?"
16551Anxious to discover what she had at heart he went on sounding:"Tired of us?
16551Apart from the financial aspect of this matter, I--""Say,"broke in the Girl, gazing at him in helpless admiration,"ai n''t that great?
16551Apparently what he saw was to his liking, for his manner was most friendly when bowing politely, he said:"How are you, boys?"
16551As a matter of fact, her indifference so piqued him that before he was conscious of his words he had asked somewhat lamely:"You wish me well?
16551Ashby made an impatient movement towards her with the question:"Where was he?"
16551Ashby scrutinised the newcomer closely before going on with:"Know a girl there named Nina Micheltoreña?"
16551At a point of the road where there was a break in the_ chaparral_, a voice suddenly cried out in Spanish:"Who comes?"
16551At last she deigned to favour him with"Hm?"
16551At length, the Girl inquired somewhat impatiently:"Well, what is it, Nick?"
16551At length, the voice from the bed spoke:"How long have I been here?"
16551At the display of guns that met her gaze she merely shrugged and inquired placidly:"Oh, how many guns do you carry?"
16551At the table, however, he halted and inquired:"All right-- go missionary to- morrow-- get marry-- huh?"
16551At those words a wondering look shone in the Girl''s eyes, and she asked in all seriousness:"What''s the matter with me?
16551Before either looked at them, he glanced across at the Girl and asked scornfully, perhaps enviously:"What do you see in him?"
16551But at Johnson''s queer look she hastened to inquire:"But it ai n''t for long you''re goin''?"
16551But before The Pony Express had time to reply the Girl interposed scornfully:"Nina Micheltoreña?
16551But despite his son''s entreaties to be calm, he presently cried out:"Do you know who you are?"
16551But even then she heard not his warning, but silently, tremulously listened to Sonora, who shouted through the door:"Say, Girl, you all right?"
16551But now you can git-- git, do you hear me?"
16551But the Girl''s one thought, after her first gladness, was of his safety:"But you ca n''t git away now without bein''seen?"
16551But the reward-- you swear you''re playing fair?"
16551But there was a new significance attached to her home- coming to- night: was she not to entertain there her first real visitor?
16551But where the deuce did she keep her tumblers?
16551But who was it then?
16551Come, speak up,--it''s shooting or the tree,--which shall it be?"
16551Do I go with you?"
16551Do you think he got through safe?"
16551Does he think we''re runnin''a bakery?"
16551Finally, unable to bear the suspense any longer, the Sheriff threw down his cards on the table, and facing her he said:"Say, Girl, will you marry me?"
16551Gettin''taken care of?"
16551Had he not come to Cloudy Mountain to woo her?
16551Have I been a good father to you, my lad?"
16551Have you seen anyone handsomer than I am?"
16551He ca n''t leave the camp, and he never plays cyards again-- see?"
16551He done better, did n''t he?"
16551He paused to search his mind for something suitable to suggest to her; at length he questioned:"Now, what have you been reading lately?"
16551He says he''s sorry-- ain''t you, Sid?"
16551He stopped and flung his overcoat down on the floor, and fixing her with a look he demanded:"You do n''t love him, do you?"
16551He was about to tell her the little he knew when with lips that trembled she finally whispered:"Have you heard anythin''?
16551He wo n''t tell--""Wo n''t he?"
16551Here?
16551His curiosity about her was intense, and it showed plainly in the voice that said presently:"Is n''t it strange how things come about?
16551How can I do it?"
16551How do they look?
16551How tell her the truth?
16551How''s everythin''?
16551However, cleverly taking her cue from him she inquired in business- like tones:"And how about The Polka Saloon-- the raid on Cloudy Mountain Camp?"
16551If you did n''t come here to steal you came to The Polka to rob it, did n''t you?"
16551In nowise disconcerted by her answer, the Indian now asked:"You come soon?"
16551Instantly scenting trouble and alert at the possibility of danger, Johnson inquired:"What''s that?
16551Is there anythin''''bout me a high- toned gent would object to?"
16551Is there anything wrong with my beauty?
16551It was the Girl who spoke first:"Are you ready?"
16551Johnson looked at her wonderingly; he questioned:"Academy?
16551Johnson was conscious of a guilty feeling, though he said as he took a seat beside her:"You would trust me?"
16551Johnson?"
16551Leaning forward, she inquired somewhat sneeringly:"Mr. Johnson, how many times have you died?"
16551Lonely?
16551Me in trouble, Sonora?"
16551Me?"
16551Me?"
16551Mountains lonely, did you say?
16551Mountains lonely?"
16551Must I go, too?"
16551Nevertheless the girl did not give him her hand, but quickly drew it away; she answered his question with a question:"Are you sorry?"
16551Nevertheless, the faithful guardian of the Girl''s interests sent a startled glance of inquiry about the room, and again asked:"All right, eh?"
16551Nick disappeared into the dance- hall as though shot out of a gun; whereupon, the Girl turned to Johnson with:"I have n''t lived?
16551Nick nodded; and then regarding the Mexican with a contemptuous look, he asked:"What''ll you have?"
16551Notwithstanding, Rance, to the Girl''s query of"How did this Nina Micheltoreña know it?"
16551Now Sonora went over to her, and asked:"What d''you say?
16551Now do you still refuse me?"
16551Once more Johnson bent his tall figure to the ground, and said:"Then may I have the pleasure of the next polka?"
16551Rance won the deal; and taking up the pack he asked, as he shuffled:"A case of show- down?"
16551Risk losin''''i m?"
16551Say that again?"
16551Say, p''haps me marry you-- huh?"
16551Say, that''s a terrible tho''t, ai n''t it?
16551She halted a moment, and throwing up her hands impulsively, she cried:"Ai n''t it wonderful-- ain''t it wonderful that instinct?
16551She stopped and turned upon him impulsively with:"Say, that reminds me, wo n''t you take somethin''?"
16551She''s after that?"
16551Sonora surveyed him critically for some moments; at length he said:"Say, Rance, what''s the matter with you?
16551Suddenly there came a smothered groan from the man in the loft; Rance wheeled round quickly and brought up his gun, demanding:"What''s that?
16551Taking a few steps nearer to her, he hazarded:"Say, Girl, was your answer final to- night about marrying me?"
16551The Girl looked at him in blank astonishment-- a look that might easily have been interpreted as saying,"Where do you hail from?"
16551The Girl nodded an assent and observed in a tone that was intended to be thoroughly conclusive:"Notice I danced with you to- night?"
16551The Girl turned upon him with eyes flashing and retorted:"Well, it''s my throat, ai n''t it?"
16551The Girl''s heart was beating fast; she was hoping against hope when, a moment later, she asked:"You''re not goin''to pull the rope on''i m?"
16551The Girl''s lips were quivering; she asked:"An''when will you be back?"
16551The Sidney Duck?"
16551The Wells Fargo man was the first to make any comment; he asked:"You know this?"
16551The girl leaned her elbows on the bar and her chin in her hands, and answered with a tantalising little laugh:"Who-- me?"
16551The latter had a pleasant word or two for the men; then, turning to the Deputy, he said:"And how are you these days?"
16551The man''s eyes swept the Girl''s figure; he looked puzzled, and asked:"Are you-- you going out?"
16551The men exchanged incredulous glances; from all sides came the explosive cries:"What''s that?
16551The son made no reply; his father went on:"What have not these devils done to our country ever since they came here?
16551The stranger could not suppress a smile; but the next moment he was serious, and asked:"And am I never going to see you again?
16551The unmistakable note of regret in the Girl''s voice flattered as well as encouraged him to go further and ask:"Will you think of me some time?"
16551The woman you were with-- she knows you?"
16551Then after a pause to let his words sink in, he demanded gruffly:"Where is Ramerrez''camp?"
16551Then, of a sudden, with infinite tenderness in his voice, Johnson asked:"What is your name, Girl-- your real name?"
16551Then, with a nervous start, she asked:"Did he call?"
16551Then,"What have you got?"
16551There was a moment''s startled pause in which the Girl struggled with her passions; at last, she ventured:"Who''s this woman?"
16551There was a silence; then the little voice in the rug called out:"Say, what''s your name?"
16551There''s somethin''kind o''holy about love, ai n''t they?"
16551Therefore, leaving the table, he went over to Nick and whispered:"Has the Girl said anythin''about me to- day, Nick?"
16551They had not been placed; whereupon he cried out excitedly:"The seats, boys, where''s the seats?"
16551Turning once more to the prisoner, he said:"Be quick-- what is it?"
16551Turning to Nick the Deputy told him to give the man a drink, adding as he left the room:"Watch him-- keep your eye on him a moment for me, will you?"
16551Turning to her visitor again, she said:"Have your whisky with water, wo n''t you?"
16551Turning to him quickly, he inquired:"Say, my friend, do n''t you drink?"
16551Was it possible, he asked himself, that all this loveliness was soiled forever?
16551Was she not awaiting his coming?
16551Was she then a flirt?
16551Was this Wells Fargo''s most famous agent?
16551Was this a moment of foreboding and distrust of the situation yet to be revealed?
16551Was this feeling that he had a premonition of danger?
16551Was this handsome stranger finding her amusing?
16551Was this the man whose warnings were given such credence that they stirred even the largest of the gold camps into a sense of insecurity?
16551We done anythin''to offend you?"
16551We part as friends?"
16551What are you doin''here?"
16551What brought you?"
16551What do you say?"
16551What do you want?"
16551What do you wish me to do?"
16551What for?"
16551What have you to say to us?"
16551What have you?"
16551What is the matter with you to- night?
16551What reason will I give?"
16551What would happen if he could n''t obey the summons?
16551What''s that?"
16551What''s that?"
16551What?"
16551When he turned back he was met by a scornful look and the words:"So, you doubt me, do you?
16551Where now are our extensive ranchos-- our large herds of cattle?
16551Where was he goin''?"
16551Whereupon, Sonora made a dash far the chip and knocked it off of Trinidad''s shoulder, blazing huskily into his face as he did so:"You do, do you?"
16551Who is he?"
16551Why do you come here?"
16551Why do you come to this place?"
16551Why should she?
16551Why, what''s the matter?"
16551Why, who teaches in your Academy?"
16551With a hasty movement towards him Rance asked tensely:"Did you get him?"
16551With difficulty Johnson suppressed a smile; nevertheless he observed soberly:"Oh, so you''re the teacher?"
16551Wo n''t you tell me where I can find you?"
16551Would you have much respect for me?"
16551Would you take it with me far away from here and forever?"
16551You do n''t hate?"
16551You have a rancho near here?"
16551You know him?"
16551You seen anything of him?"
16551You want to know if I am decent?
16551You, father, a Ramerrez, a bandit?"
16551You?"
16551Your business here-- your business?"
16551asked the Girl as she came into the room; and then without waiting for an answer:"Why, where are the boys?"
16551but the girl says,''who''ll be the next one?''"
16551exploded Sonora; and again;"Me-- speak?
16551he burst out gruffly; then he added meaningly:"Do you think he''d have you?"
16551once more peremptorily from Rance; and then, when she had cut, one question more:"Best two out of three?"
16551she flashed back instantly, as she picked up her cards; and then:"What have you got?"
16551she hurriedly brushed past him and yelled through the door:"What do you want?"
15580''Zimmer will be clever enough to drift his outfit along one or two at a time?'' 15580 Air you comin''from Morton?"
15580And leave this fighting Texas, never to return till the day of guns and Rangers and bad men and even- breaks is past?
15580And the drinking, the gambling, the association with those low men-- that was all put on?
15580And what''s that?
15580Any relation to Bill Snecker?
15580Are you alone?
15580Are you going to Linrock?
15580Bad for you, too?
15580Been to your''dobe yet to- night?
15580But did you look at the cousin, the little girl with the eyes?
15580But ought n''t they take us into their confidence?
15580But suppose I do n''t choose to talk here?
15580But why should my daughter meet this Ranger?
15580But why''d you come-- why''re you so good-- when you do n''t love me?
15580But why, Miss Sampson? 15580 But why?"
15580But you have your suspicions?
15580But, Jim, was n''t he game? 15580 Ca n''t Diane and Steele, you and I ride away from this bloody, bad country?
15580Ca n''t you make the ordeal easier for her?
15580Colonel Sampson has a big outfit, eh?
15580Cousin George, what became of Steele and his prisoner?
15580Crooked game?
15580Diane, I told you I loved him-- didn''t I?
15580Diane, did Sally show you her engagement ring?
15580Diane, you know how hard my duty is, do n''t you?
15580Did Steele shoot anybody?
15580Did he do it all alone?
15580Did he ever speak of-- of me?
15580Did he know we were coming?
15580Did n''t I say I''d see to that?
15580Did n''t you ever hear_ I_ used to run it?
15580Did n''t you say they were hunting for you?
15580Did she say that?
15580Did she send you?
15580Did she? 15580 Did you break your promise to me?"
15580Did you get any of them?
15580Did you hear a step?
15580Did you shoot at Snecker?
15580Do n''t mind my ridin''in with you- all, I hope?
15580Do n''t you think you''d do well to keep out of town, especially when you sleep?
15580Do you like Pecos?
15580Do you love me?
15580Do you think Blome a dangerous man to meet?
15580Do you think she would have cared if-- if I had been shot up bad?
15580Do you want him to succeed in it?
15580Does Diane know?
15580Does anybody know?
15580Does n''t he strike you now as being the farthest removed from a ranting, brutal Ranger?
15580Drinking hard?
15580George, what''s the matter?
15580Have I been very-- very sad?
15580Have n''t I told you he''d be dead soon same as Hoden is?
15580Have you been with him-- talked to him lately?
15580Have you run into Blome?
15580Held up?
15580His work?
15580Hoden sent you to me, did he? 15580 Hoden, do you know who''s boss of this secret gang of rustlers hereabouts?"
15580Hoden, what are your eyes for?
15580How can it be true when you never asked-- said a word-- you hinted of?
15580How dare you intrude here? 15580 How do I know?"
15580How do you know she met Steele?
15580How do you mean?
15580How else, you locoed lady- charmer? 15580 How is that?
15580How long has Russ been in here?
15580How''s tricks, Jim?
15580How?
15580Hush-- Tell me, if you confronted them, drew on them, then you had a chance to kill my uncle?
15580I can change my mind, ca n''t I? 15580 I''d like to know why?"
15580If they had the nerve?
15580If they knew who was rustling the stock?
15580If you''re going to pretend a yellow streak, what else will I think?
15580Is Sampson at home?
15580Is Steele badly hurt?
15580Is he all right?
15580Is n''t this court? 15580 Is that you, George?"
15580Jar? 15580 Jar?"
15580Know what?
15580Like ridin''?
15580Little hope?
15580Lively place, I hear-- Linrock is?
15580Make that girl do what she does n''t want to? 15580 Me?
15580Me? 15580 Miss Sampson, did I ever lie to you?"
15580Miss Sampson, how can you say that?
15580Miss Sampson,I said, in dismay,"what have I done?
15580Mr. Steele, pray tell me what is the matter with Linrock and just what the work is you''re called upon to do?
15580Mr. Steele, then is-- is something more than a Ranger?
15580Mrs. Hoden, who dressed this baby?
15580Much movement of stock these days?
15580My cousin Mr. Wright said that?
15580No women? 15580 Now, Russ, what do you make of my dad?
15580Oh, Russ-- what''s to come of it all?
15580On the draw? 15580 Only a make- believe one?"
15580Out here? 15580 Out?
15580Papa, did you instruct Cousin George to discharge Russ?
15580Pleasant surprise for them to- morrow, eh, old man?
15580Pretend?
15580Quick enough on the draw? 15580 Russ, are you all right?"
15580Russ, did she-- show sympathy?
15580Russ, do n''t you love me any more?
15580Russ, do they dare insinuate you came to Sally''s room?
15580Russ, had Diane gone out to meet Steele?
15580Russ, is it true, just as you tell it?
15580Russ, what''s this I hear about Martin''s saloon being cleaned out?
15580Russ, will you do me a favor?
15580Russ, will you give up the Ranger Service for me?
15580Russ, you suggest I leave here-- leave my father?
15580Russ,_ were_ you drunk?
15580Rustlers?
15580Safe? 15580 Sally, did you hear what Miss Sampson said to Steele?"
15580Sally, do you love me?
15580Sally, is this old home of yours near the one Diane speaks of so much?
15580Sally, what did he mean?
15580Sally, what do you and Diane know about the goings- on in town yesterday?
15580Sally, will you marry me?
15580Sampson wants me bad, eh?
15580Say, do n''t you work for Sampson?
15580Shall I chuck my job? 15580 Shame-- disgrace?"
15580She-- Why, she''s been here all the time-- Russ, you have n''t double- crossed me?
15580So I say you''re no good?
15580So thet''s that Texas Ranger, Steele, hey? 15580 So you knew it was Bill Snecker''s son?"
15580So you''re Roger Sampson''s girl?
15580So you''ve come to see me die?
15580So your little-- affair with Russ is all over?
15580Someone? 15580 Son, sure you''re not in love with her-- you''ll not fall in love with her?"
15580Son, you have n''t got soft on her?
15580Sprung a surprise on me, did n''t you? 15580 Steele hardly expects to keep Snecker in jail, does he?"
15580Steele, what''d you break in here for?
15580Suppose I refuse?
15580Suppose they should? 15580 The thing is, do I get the girl?"
15580Then I''m to go to Linrock with you?
15580Then there''s a rustler-- here-- hiding?
15580Then you''re no cowboy?
15580Then, after all, Russ, in this dreadful part of Texas life, when man faces man, it''s all in the quickness of hand?
15580Then, after all, this Ranger was able to arrest Snell, the innocent man father discharged, and take him to jail?
15580Then-- what did he say?
15580Thet so?
15580To- morrow? 15580 Tragic?
15580Unless?
15580Up yet, Sally?
15580Vaughn, you have n''t gone sweet on her?
15580Wait? 15580 Was n''t he lovely?
15580Water or champagne?
15580Well, old boy, how''s tricks?
15580Well, old man, did you land that son of a gun in jail?
15580Well, say so now, ca n''t you? 15580 What became of them?
15580What d''ye mean?
15580What did he say?
15580What do I care what they think?
15580What do you care for the insinuations of such a man?
15580What do you know?
15580What do you mean? 15580 What do you say?"
15580What do you want here?
15580What for?
15580What has happened?
15580What has the court to say to that?
15580What have you to say about this, Hoden?
15580What other way could I look at it? 15580 What shall I find out?"
15580What then? 15580 What''d you come for, anyway?"
15580What''d you hide here for?
15580What''d you want to let her come out here for?
15580What''d you wing him for?
15580What''s all this commotion? 15580 What''s come off?
15580What''s that?
15580What''s the matter?
15580What''s this I hear about you, Bud? 15580 What''s this holler?"
15580What''s this news? 15580 What?"
15580What?
15580What?
15580When did Wright get it?
15580When may-- I see him?
15580Where are you going?
15580Where is he now?
15580Where is he now?
15580Where''m I hit?
15580Where''s Steele?
15580Where''s Steele?
15580Where''s your warrant to arrest Snell?
15580Where''ve you been? 15580 Which one?"
15580Who are you? 15580 Who are you?"
15580Who fires me, I''d like to know?
15580Who told you?
15580Who''re you?
15580Who''re you?
15580Who''s that?
15580Why did you discharge me?
15580Why do men, apparently honest men, seem to be so close- mouthed here? 15580 Why do n''t you discharge me?
15580Why should I make up with you?
15580Why, then, did n''t you?
15580Why? 15580 Why?"
15580Why?
15580Why?
15580Why?
15580Why?
15580Will you go with me to my old home? 15580 Will you wait?
15580Wo n''t you come in?
15580Worse? 15580 Would papa have arrested him?"
15580Wright, what''ll you do with him?
15580Yes, you said that, did n''t you?
15580You have killed men?
15580You know the hold I got on you-- the deal that made you boss of this rustler gang?
15580You mean double- cross the men? 15580 You remember how I heard Wright making you out vile to Miss Sampson?
15580You thet cowboy, Russ?
15580You were n''t driven to kill George?
15580You''ll not make her marry me?
15580You''ll take Snell without papers?
15580You''re the cowboy Russ?
15580You''re thet Ranger, hey?
15580You''ve guessed-- about your father?
15580Your work? 15580 _ Let_ her?
15580''We''re going after them, then?''
15580Ai n''t boardin''heah, is he?"
15580Ai n''t somebody goin''to plug this Ranger?"
15580All the same, Wright, did it ever strike you that most of our deals the last few years have been yours?"
15580An''as Steele has cashed, what the hell do you care?
15580An''what''d Wright say?"
15580And any time I-- I might-- All the same, Sally-- will you be my wife?"
15580And papa refused to see you-- presumably refused to cooperate with you?"
15580And was Sally in your confidence?"
15580Are n''t you the mayor of Linrock?"
15580Are you really on the square, Russ?
15580As for what I said, or meant to say, which is the same thing, how''d you take my actions?
15580At the tables, at the bars and lounging places remarks went the rounds:"Who''s thet Ranger after?
15580But I hoped I would be so happy to-- to reclaim you from-- Didn''t you ever have a sister, Russ?"
15580But can my father and cousin be taken without bloodshed?
15580But could she divine a motive scarcely yet formed in my brain?
15580But do you believe I was drunk when I say no?"
15580But was I to have that chance?
15580But what could I do?
15580But what else could I have told Diane?
15580But what was the right thing?
15580But, Mr. Steele, are n''t you exaggerating Linrock''s wickedness?"
15580But, Sally, can you get over it-- can you forget?"
15580But, first, ca n''t you arrange a meeting between Diane and Steele?
15580Can I rely on you?"
15580Cheerful and kind, is n''t he?"
15580Come out from behind these cowboy togs?"
15580Diane, was n''t Sally the deceitful thing?
15580Did Sampson start-- did his eyes show a fleeting glint-- did his face almost imperceptibly blanch?
15580Did he state his business?"
15580Did n''t I run like a scared jack- rabbit from Steele?
15580Did n''t you ever see a man the morning after a carouse?"
15580Did n''t you- all hear?
15580Did you hear-- do you understand why she appealed to Steele, asked him to be her friend?"
15580Did you see the notches on his gun?
15580Did you sell out?"
15580Did you?"
15580Do n''t you think if she was my wife I''d soon pull myself together?
15580Do they head this mysterious gang?"
15580Do you know if Sampson and Wright are at the ranch?"
15580Do you say he lies?"
15580Do you still think, brood about that fight?"
15580Do you think I beg you to let my father go, for his sake?
15580Do you think I''d let fear of a gang of rustlers stop me from going in business with a rancher?
15580Do you think it''ll kill him?"
15580Eh?
15580First, now, will you give Diane to me?"
15580For God''s sake, Sally, what do you take me for?"
15580For what had I turned my back on this beautiful, all- satisfying prospect?
15580Go without their knowing?
15580Had Diane Sampson guessed the guilt of her father?
15580Had I ever had anything but luck in these dangerous deals?
15580Had I mind enough to divine his torture, his temptation, his narrow escape?
15580Had Wright''s incomprehensible mention of Diane Sampson been an instinct of love-- of jealousy?
15580Had any one ever dared ask Steele that before?
15580Had ever a Ranger such a job as mine?
15580Had he been stopped?
15580Had that been the thing I imagined I had seen in Sampson''s face?
15580Had they forgotten, while I remembered?
15580Have you any horses handy?"
15580Have you been drunk a good deal?
15580Have you not insulted us enough?
15580How are Mrs. Hoden and the youngster to- day?"
15580How can so splendid a man be so bloody, base at heart?
15580How could I ever take care of my little ones?
15580How could Steele and I win them openly to our cause?
15580How could this be anything but sincere?
15580How seriously was Steele injured?
15580How''s this plan strike you?"
15580How, I wondered, had a man of his mind ever lived so long and gone so far among the exacting conditions of Pecos County?
15580I said,"Want a drink?"
15580I wanted so much to work for you-- Miss Sally, what have I done?
15580If I was all distraught with emotion, what must Steele have been?
15580If his intent is evil, why will he fail in it?"
15580Is he waitin''fer somebody?
15580Is n''t it glorious, Russ?"
15580Is n''t that proof?"
15580Is n''t this a terrible mix?"
15580Is that a fact or only my impression?"
15580Jest about how soon will he be found somewhere full of lead?"
15580Just as well, too, because if she''d....""Russ, did you honestly care for her?
15580Just how would Sally Langdon meet me now, after my regretted exhibition before her cousin?
15580Just now he says:''Where does Sampson live?''
15580Kind of them, ai n''t it?"
15580Leave them here to face whatever comes?"
15580Morton, can you give me any idea where Steele is?"
15580Must I stand alone-- all alone?
15580Now who in hell are you?"
15580Now, what''s this murder of Jim Hoden going to do to Morton, Zimmer, and their crowd?"
15580Of course, he could not get back the lost money, but would it be possible to close Martin''s place, or at least break up the crooked game?
15580Or are you what George calls you-- a drunken cowboy, a gambler, sharp with the cards, a gun- fighter?"
15580Our own lives, our happiness, come first, do they not?"
15580Russ, are you asking me to trust you?"
15580Russ, does Diane know?"
15580Russ, has it dawned on you yet, what I''ve got to do to Diane Sampson?"
15580Russ, have n''t you missed something?"
15580Russ, how could he stand up under such a wound?
15580Russ, was it you?"
15580Sally Langdon?
15580Sally, Russ, what shall we do?
15580Sally, how long has this affair been going on?"
15580Sally, what can we do?
15580Sally, what does Diane know about her father?"
15580Savvy what I mean, Morton?
15580Savvy what I mean?"
15580See the big white stone?
15580See?
15580Shall I go back?
15580She''s fine, but the old man?
15580Shot you from behind, did n''t he?"
15580So it''s settled then?"
15580So what can I do?"
15580Steele?"
15580Sure if I''d won I would n''t have been sorry, eh?
15580Swore you''d never come back?
15580Talking about work-- who''d you say Snell worked for?"
15580Tell me, what has happened?"
15580That satisfy you?"
15580The real thing, I mean?"
15580Then I saw the leaping thought-- would this daughter side against him?
15580Then it''s not well known that Sampson owns the Hope So?"
15580Then you take sides with him against my father?"
15580They''d fight if they....""What?"
15580Under such circumstances could I kill him when I did n''t have to?"
15580Understand?
15580Was he ever going to speak?
15580Was it more for his sake than for her own that she hoped-- for surely she hoped-- that Steele loved her?
15580Was it to arrest and jail a few rustlers?
15580Was it to be as terrible as Steele''s had been?
15580Was it to kill that hated Wright?
15580Was it to meet that mocking Sampson face to face and show him my shield and reach for my gun?
15580Was it to please and aid my old captain, Neal of the Rangers?
15580Was it to save the Service to the State?
15580Was it to save the people of Linrock from further greed, raids, murder?
15580Was she testing me?
15580Well, I''m to go on, up at the ranch, falling further in love with that sweet kid instead of coming out straight to face things with you?"
15580Well, Mrs. Hoden, did n''t I tell you friends would come?
15580What did she read in mine?
15580What do I care for your old gun?
15580What do you mean?''
15580What do you want?''
15580What else could I make of that terrible thing in his eyes?
15580What else could he have done?
15580What for?
15580What had fate done to Vaughn Steele and to me?
15580What if Steele had heard her say that?
15580What kind of a game was you givin''Frank?"
15580What speech known to the tongue could have given me more torture?
15580What trouble?"
15580What was I doing to her-- to Vaughn?
15580What''d make them fight?"
15580What''d you think of that stand?
15580What''ll he do fust off?
15580What''s the matter with you?"
15580Whatever is the matter with baby''s dress?"
15580When can you take me?"
15580When would the town wake up, not only to a little nerve, but to the usefulness of a Ranger?
15580Where, now, was the arch prettiness, the gay, sweet charm of Sally Langdon?
15580Which do you prefer?"
15580Who could have stopped him, then?
15580Who does Snell work for?"
15580Who heads the gang anyway?"
15580Who would ever connect Roger Sampson with a rustler gang?
15580Who''s goin''to draw on him fust-- an''go to hell?
15580Who, but that wild boy in there could have saved us all?
15580Whom shall I believe?
15580Why ca n''t he?
15580Why did Sampson want to see me?
15580Why did he hold his coat like that?
15580Why did my sharpened and experienced wits interpret a hint of threat or menace in Sampson''s reminder?
15580Why did she discharge me?"
15580Why did you let me go?"
15580Why not take to the open every night?"
15580Why on earth do you want to search here?
15580Why''d you want to blurt out that Jack Blome was here to kill Steele?"
15580Why, why?
15580Why?"
15580Why?"
15580Why?"
15580Will you be my friend?
15580Will you come?"
15580Will you forgive me?"
15580Will you give me a chance?
15580Will you let me in on some kind of deal?
15580Will you marry me?"
15580Will you start me up as a stockman, with a little herd all my own?"
15580Will you take my hand?
15580Will you trust me a little?
15580With cards, an''gun, too, eh?"
15580Would Steele ever come?
15580Would not Steele have been less than a man or more than a man had he been impervious to it?
15580Would she help to betray him?
15580Yet did he betray anything but rage at this interloper?
15580Yet, what did I know of women?
15580You mean my father and cousin George are misinformed or wrong about Steele?
15580You mean your Ranger duty-- the arresting of rough characters?"
15580You remember we used to rest on the high ridge where there was a shady place-- such a beautiful outlook?
15580You say I wronged him, Russ?
15580You thought you meant it, did n''t you?''
15580You understood me?
15580You were spying on my uncle?"
15580You''re rich?"
15580You''re the feller who jest left word fer some one at the Hope So?"
15580does he expect to_ stay_?"
19166Ai n''t that right, Loney? 19166 All you boys got a raise last month; ai n''t that good enough?"
19166Are you a Sawtooth man?
19166Are you the man I saw shoot that man and then fasten him to the stirrup of the saddle so the horse dragged him down the road? 19166 At the ranch?"
19166Backwards?
19166Breath? 19166 But if your shoulder is lame, Swan, how can you?"
19166But you''re fighting just the same, are n''t you, dad? 19166 Ca n''t you see now tired he is?"
19166Charlie Werner? 19166 Charlie?"
19166Cor''ner comin''?
19166D''you know-- anything?
19166D''yuh think me and Frank could fight the Sawtooth and get anything out of it but a coffin apiece, maybe?
19166Dad, was-- has any one around here died, lately?
19166Dad, what_ is_ Whisper?
19166Dad, why did n''t you want me to leave the ranch to- day? 19166 Dad,"she said abruptly,"who is the man at Whisper?"
19166Did n''t she ever say anything about Fred Thurman, then?
19166Did you wish to speak about something?
19166Died? 19166 Do I get a free hand, or do n''t I?"
19166Do n''t the Sawtooth_ own_ this country? 19166 Do you mean to say you think I''m crazy?
19166Do you mind if I smoke?
19166Do you see how it was done, Swan? 19166 Do you think I am justified in the course I am taking, or do n''t you?"
19166Do you think I''m a damn fool, just because I''m a Swede? 19166 Do you think we ought to get out and hunt for her?"
19166Frank Johnson was killed, you say? 19166 Frank hire yuh?"
19166H- how did you know?
19166Has the girl arrived safely, Lone?
19166Have you got time to go back to the office and fix up my time, Hawkins?
19166He ai n''t? 19166 He''s not hurt, is he?"
19166Hell, how should I know?
19166How did it happen?
19166How do you know a doctor will come?
19166How was that?
19166How''d_ he_ know Brit rolled off''n the grade? 19166 How''n''ell did he git here-- the doctor?"
19166Huh?
19166Hunting her up? 19166 I do n''t know-- what''s that got to do with helping dad?"
19166I don''t----"Did they git Frank, las''night?
19166If some neighbors should ask,''How did that doctor come so quick?'' 19166 Is she the one who came here temporarily-- deranged?"
19166Is that dog of yours any good at trailing?
19166Is there any truth in her declaring that Frank Johnson is dead? 19166 Just how would it make trouble for my father?"
19166Just straight riding?
19166Just what was that about, Lone? 19166 L''raine, d''you know you''ve got a new papa?"
19166Lie?
19166Lightning is always bad, is n''t it?
19166Raine? 19166 Sorry, you do n''t mean-- Sawtooth accidents?"
19166Swan, if it''s serious enough for a doctor, ca n''t you send another thought message to your mother?
19166That was him, was n''t it?
19166That you, Raine? 19166 The doctor he comes, do n''t he?"
19166The man that struck that horse-- do you know that man?
19166They_ say_? 19166 Trailing me with a bunch, are yuh?
19166Was n''t that him?
19166Was you afraid four would n''t be enough to take me?
19166We try to prove Fred was murdered, and what''s the result? 19166 Well, how''n''ell did it happen?
19166Well, what do you know?
19166Well, what''s wrong? 19166 Well,"he said carefully at last,"if you''re falling down in your work, what are you whining about it to me for?
19166Well,he said flatly,"who is it this time?
19166What do you know about it, Raine?
19166What do you make of this new play?
19166What do you think Al would want----"Do n''t she see him shoot Fred Thurman? 19166 What do you want, Raine?"
19166What girl?
19166What have they said? 19166 What took him off again in such a rush?"
19166What was you''n Lone talkin''so long about, out in the kitchen last night? 19166 What you think, Lone, if you be sitting down eating your supper, maybe, and you feel something say words in your brain?
19166What you think, Lone? 19166 What you think?"
19166What yuh doing up there?
19166What yuh quittin''for, Lone?
19166What''s on your mind, Swan?
19166What''s the matter? 19166 What- all happened to Brit Hunter?"
19166Where''d Lone go so sudden?
19166Where''d you git that idee?
19166Where''d you pick her up, Lone? 19166 Where''d you see all that, Raine?"
19166Where''s Brit now?
19166Where''s Lone at?
19166Where''s your authority, Swan?
19166Who is this girl?
19166Who''re them others?
19166Why did you let me give myself away to that man? 19166 Why do n''t you peel him, just on a chance?"
19166Why, where''s Frank?
19166Why-- who is what?
19166Why?
19166Yes- s-- but how''n hell did a doctor know about it?
19166You been seeing things?
19166You boys goin''over t''Spirit Canyon?
19166You can pack it, ca n''t you?
19166You did n''t see Frank coming anywhere, did you? 19166 You did n''t tell him anything, did you?"
19166You do n''t mean to tell me, dad, that you and Frank Johnson and Lone Morgan and-- everybody in the country are_ cowards_, do you?
19166You do n''t think any accident would happen to_ me_, do you?
19166You goin''after them posts, or shall I?
19166You got a horse? 19166 You have laws, do n''t you, dad?
19166You little fool, what do you think you''d do in these hills alone? 19166 You noticed, then, that she was not quite-- herself?"
19166You say she went to the Sawtooth?
19166You see where he was headed for, do n''t yuh, Swan?
19166You''re Miss Hunter, are n''t you? 19166 You''re not the man, are you?
19166You''re sure she is n''t here?
19166You''re the one they call Loney?
19166Yuh know what he''s figuring on doing? 19166 _ Accidents_?"
19166_ Me_? 19166 _ Walk_?"
19166A doctor from Shoshone----""A_ doctor_?
19166A rabbit,"she told him impressively,"would n''t sit out in the rain all night, would he?
19166Ai n''t that yore dad callin''yuh?"
19166And am I one of the outfit, dad?"
19166And he shot him-- oh, ca n''t you_ do_ something?"
19166And how did that happen?
19166And if he did not mind it, what possible chance had he against a power so ruthless and so cunning?
19166And what could the Quirt do to prevent the outrage?
19166And why do n''t you_ do_ something?
19166And why is my father unpopular?"
19166And-- oh, do you know how Lone is teaching the Little Feller to sit up on the floor?
19166Anybody at Thurman''s place, do you know?"
19166Are n''t you envious as sin, and glad they''re so happy?
19166Are you hurt much, dad?"
19166Brit Hunter''s girl, is she?
19166But are you_ sure_ it was n''t you?
19166But you look after things-- what''s your name?
19166CHAPTER FOURTEEN"FRANK''S DEAD""Frank come yet?"
19166Can you tell me just how the accident occurred?"
19166Could she, Hawkins?"
19166Could you do that, Miss?"
19166Could you know that man again?"
19166Dad, is n''t your brand the TJ?
19166Dad, would an innocent man-- one that did n''t have anything to do with a crime-- would he try to cover it up afterwards?"
19166Damn yuh, what d''yuh want that you expect to get?"
19166Did his horse have a white face, dad?"
19166Did you find Raine yet?"
19166Did you_ see_ him shoot that man?
19166Do you think I''d marry a cold- blooded murderer like you?"
19166Do you want them?"
19166Do you want your supper now?
19166Do_ you_ believe that girl actually saw a man shot?
19166Does she know this country well?
19166Drink all night, would yuh?"
19166Give her a good sweat, why do n''t you?"
19166Hain''t she a heart- ballum girl of Bob''s?"
19166Has she been unbalanced for long?"
19166Have you been away all the forenoon?
19166He could not, then, be planning to take her much farther into the wilderness; yet if he did not hide her away, how could he expect to keep her?
19166He is n''t_ dead_, is he?"
19166He ought to be arrested right away-- I''d have called a policeman but-- isn''t thunder and lightning just perfectly_ awful_?
19166His brake did n''t hold, eh?"
19166How are we going to make a stretcher?
19166How dare you take that tone, Mr. Hawkins?
19166How did it happen?"
19166How much English does that Swede know?"
19166How''d you come to be walking so far?"
19166How''d_ I_ know she was in there among them rocks?
19166Hunter?"
19166Hunter?"
19166I am here to discover what you are going to do about it?"
19166I did n''t even have sense enough to tell you what ranch I was trying to find, did I?
19166I do n''t know of anything else that''d be liable to happen, unless----""Unless what?"
19166I saw the horse go by, running-- and you want me to keep still about that?
19166I----""Was she violent, before?"
19166If she pictured Echo, Idaho, as being a replica of the"set"used in the movie serial, can you wonder?
19166If there''s whisky, would n''t that help if he swallowed some now?
19166If you saw what I done to Fred Thurman, what do you reckon I''d do to_ you_?"
19166Is Mr. Johnson anywhere about?"
19166Is he drunk?"
19166Is n''t that a man''s track, just beside that flat rock?
19166Is that all he said?
19166Is that the idea, Lone?"
19166Is this the patient I was sent to examine?"
19166It is n''t safe, is it?"
19166It''s you, is it, Lone?"
19166Jim and Sorry had taken orders all their life, and they would not be able to handle the ranch work alone; yet how else would it be done?
19166Just how far was it justifiable to mind his own business?
19166Just that he wanted to see me?"
19166Ket, what do you do to pass away the time?
19166Lone, can you come and help?"
19166Lone, or-- Frank?"
19166Lone, what you think?
19166Maybe you see some men ride backwards on a horse?"
19166Nothing,"she added desperately,"could happen to Frank between here and the turn- off at the ford, could it?
19166Now what becomes of that ranch?
19166Oh, did a doctor come, then?
19166Once he looked up into her sullenly distressed face and said,"Tired?"
19166Or do you think she was crazy?"
19166Or would you rather wait until Frank brings the fruit?"
19166Pretty bad, was n''t it?"
19166Put the dog on, why do n''t you?"
19166Queer how she claimed she spent the night in Rock City, ai n''t it?"
19166Say, Pop, she ai n''t no squaw-- is she, Loney?"
19166Say, you did n''t see that bay I was halter- breaking, did yuh, Al?
19166She got well, all right, did she?"
19166She somehow mixed her delusion up with Fred Thurman, did n''t she?"
19166Should I do that?
19166Should I tell the coroner that?"
19166Sorry,"she cried suddenly,"what_ is_ the matter with this place?
19166That had been news to him-- or had it?
19166That right?"
19166That''s a right stirrup, ai n''t it?
19166The place recalled with fresh vividness, her first words to him:"Are_ you_ the man I saw shoot that other man and fasten his foot in the stirrup?"
19166There ai n''t any Charlie, except Charlie Werner; she would n''t mean him, do yuh s''pose?"
19166They have holes in the ground, do n''t they?"
19166Think he''ll pull through?"
19166This ai n''t the first time a man ever quit yuh, is it, Hawkins?"
19166Throw that six- shooter over there in the brush, will you?"
19166Vjolmar-- how yuh spell it?
19166Was it Frank or Lone?
19166We are n''t quitters, are we, dad?
19166What about Al-- the man from Whisper?
19166What become of the horses?"
19166What did he say he wanted to see me about?"
19166What do you want?"
19166What else could happen?"
19166What harm could it do to tell?
19166What if her dad had not written a word for more than a year?
19166What made you run away from me when you saw me coming?"
19166What was it to this man where she had been lost?
19166What was it?
19166What were doctors for?
19166What words did you feel-- in your brain?"
19166What you goin''to do about it?
19166What you say, Lone?"
19166What you think, Lone?"
19166What you think, Lone?"
19166What you think, Lone?"
19166What''d I want''em fur?
19166What''s all this about Brit being hurt?
19166What''s he say about Brit?
19166What''s on your chest, Swan?"
19166What''s the use?
19166When do you want to go?"
19166Where do they go when it rains?
19166Where''d he go?"
19166Where''s Brit?
19166Where''s Jim and Sorry, then?"
19166Where''s the horses, Raine?"
19166Where''s the man that was on the horse?
19166Which you ruther do?"
19166Who is it?"
19166Who was the Sawtooth Company, that they could sweep human beings from their path so ruthlessly and never be called to account?
19166Who you talking to?
19166Why did you say they would n''t both be likely to have accidents hand- running?
19166Why does every one just keep still and let things happen, and not say a word?
19166Why had n''t he come back down the gulch yesterday and helped track the girl, as he was told to do?
19166Why must n''t I tell any one?"
19166Why not have the killing done by moonlight, and use the storm when the murderer was getting away, or something like that?
19166Why should Al Woodruff be interested in the exact spot where Brit Hunter''s daughter had spent the night of the storm?
19166Why should Lone instinctively discount her statement and lie whole- heartedly about it?
19166Why should she feed her imagination upon a mimic West, when the great, glorious real West was there?
19166Why, she thought confusedly, must she_ always_ be reminded of that horrible place of rocks?
19166Why?"
19166Wo n''t you please feel that I''m one more in the game, dad, and not just another responsibility?
19166Wo n''t you_ please_ talk to your mother and tell her we need the doctor?"
19166Yellowjacket is safe, but-- but you have real_ live_ horses on the ranch, have n''t you?
19166You ai n''t told anybody what you saw, have yuh?"
19166You believe in ghosts?"
19166You believe people can talk with their thoughts?"
19166You believe that?"
19166You could do that, please?"
19166You did n''t tell any one else, did you?"
19166You did n''t tell_ him_, did you?"
19166You do n''t think they''ve got her there, Lone?"
19166You know the girl, do n''t you?"
19166You understand?
19166You understand?"
14362A hundred guineas, five hundred?
14362A_ signal_? 14362 Ah, and this is part of the drill?"
14362Ah?
14362Ai n''t got his bellyful o''fightin''yit?
14362Am I intruding?
14362And Belknap was content to do this?
14362And again I ask you, why are you here, when you are supposed to be in South Carolina?
14362And he?
14362And now, Jack,said my wire- haired old friend to me at last,"when do you ride to Albemarle?
14362And one may make mad love to any?
14362And shall I never know, in all the world?
14362And she agreed? 14362 And that will be your home?"
14362And what is it, then, John Cowles, that women call''wrong''?
14362And what is this scar on thy neck-- thee did not tell me when thee wrote, Jack, what ails thee?
14362And when?
14362And who is that dangerous flirt you were talking about a moment ago?
14362And will you keep it?
14362And yet you match against me? 14362 And you will never come back to quiet old Virginia, where plodding farmers go on as their fathers did a hundred years ago?"
14362And your father?
14362And, in your belief, that wedding should go on?
14362Are n''t you ashamed, all of you? 14362 Are we, then, only creatures, puppets, toys?"
14362Are you aware, sir, of the seriousness of what you have done?
14362Are you game-- can you do this, Miss Meriwether?
14362Are you in pain?
14362At dinner to- night, then?
14362At least, then, you are unmarried, Jack?
14362Because I am in your power, John Cowles?
14362Because by accident you have learned that I am a comely woman, as you are a strong man, normal, because I am fit to love, not ill to look at? 14362 Besides, as to the Sheratons, Jack,"she began again--"I do not wish to say one word to hurt thy feelings, but Miss Grace--""What about Miss Grace?"
14362Bread? 14362 Broth?"
14362But I hope you are not hurt in any way?
14362But could n''t funds be raised somehow, even yet?
14362But does not the trail cut off the bend, and run straight west?
14362But if I do not sign this?
14362But if the Government takes action?
14362But if you had ever signed words like these with any_ other_ woman, then it would not be our marriage nor our troth, would it, John Cowles?
14362But now I must know-- would you love me anywhere, in any circumstances, in spite of all? 14362 But now as to this Ellen?
14362But tell me, when is the wedding to be?
14362But what more?
14362But what-- what_ is_ it?
14362But you believe me, Jack? 14362 But you,"I ventured,"will always live with the Army?"
14362But your vow-- your promise?
14362By Jove,he broke out at length, flushing as he turned to me,"it is hard for a fellow to tell sometimes what''s right, is n''t it?
14362Can you forgive me?
14362Can you go?
14362Can you not give it, then? 14362 Could I use any of this money with clean conscience?"
14362Could it honorably be employed in the discharging of the debt Orme left on my family?
14362Could n''t you tell me something of how she will look?
14362Could we?
14362Could you want such a man?
14362Could you?
14362Did he die?
14362Did n''t God join you in holy wedlock, Mandy?
14362Did n''t you hear me? 14362 Did she run away from you?"
14362Did that man make the first break at you?
14362Did you marry that girl-- what was her name-- Miss Sheraton?
14362Did you promise him to keep your promise, Jack?
14362Did you see my boy, Andy Jackson?
14362Divorced, eh?
14362Do I not know that? 14362 Do you believe in the Indian telegraph now?"
14362Do you not see the yellow?
14362Do you really want to know?
14362Do you regret then that she brought me through-- that I owe my life to her?
14362Do you remember meeting me down at Jefferson?
14362Do you suggest that?
14362Do you suppose Mr. Cowles is engaged?
14362Do you think I could be?
14362Does the wound hurt you?
14362Does your father know of his peculiar hours?
14362Ellen who?
14362Ellen,I said,"do you indeed love me?"
14362Gentlemen, is it all agreed?
14362Git out of the way, man-- how can I see how to shoot if you bob your head acrost my sights all the time?
14362Going away again?
14362Has anything happened?
14362Has she suggested it?
14362Have you any news?
14362Have you heard from Leesburg, Washington?
14362Have you leave?
14362Have you never taken a little adventure of this sort yourself?
14362Have you told her-- have you told this to my girl?
14362He''ll not be back?
14362How are you coming on?
14362How can I tell?
14362How could that be?
14362How did you eat?
14362How did you know it?
14362How is the patient getting along?
14362How long will you remember me this time-- me or my clothes, Mr. Cowles? 14362 How many''s there of you?"
14362How on earth did you get here? 14362 How should I know?
14362How should I know? 14362 How''s the girl?
14362How?
14362I presume it to be understood that each may employ such charge as he prefers, and that each shall load his own piece?
14362I say, have you kept your other promise to me?
14362I see-- and they have some sort of an offer as well-- eh?
14362I suppose that you rarely came into our county either, but went down the Shenandoah when you journeyed to Washington?
14362If I give you parole,he asked,"will you believe me, and let us talk freely?"
14362If I killed him,said I, finally,"how would it better her case?
14362If you were just where I am,asked Harry Sheraton, slowly,"what would you do?
14362Impossible? 14362 In sickness or in health?"
14362Indeed, and to whom, pray?
14362Indeed, sir?
14362Is he dead, too, my dear woman?
14362Is it a fever? 14362 Is it agreed?"
14362Is it not well to wait?
14362Is it, indeed?
14362Is that so?
14362Is the case ready for argument?
14362It is Miss Meriwether? 14362 It is not because I am in your power?"
14362It is, can_ you_ forgive_ me_?
14362Jack,she said,"why should we wait?"
14362John Cowles, of Virginia,she said simply,"now tell me, how shall I mend this broken kettle?"
14362Judge Reeves,she cried,"what are you doing there?"
14362Just for the sake of saying you have done so?
14362Married?
14362Meaning yourself?
14362Meaning?
14362Miss Meriwether, is this your emblem indeed-- this red heart? 14362 Money against your horse?"
14362My good woman,said I, somewhat amused by her methods of action and speech,"do you mind telling me what is your name?"
14362My promise? 14362 No doubt your family know every one in this part of the country?"
14362Now it stops beating, does it not?
14362Now then, which one is she?
14362Now, I wonder who is this Ellen?
14362Now, now, my dear Miss Ellen,began Stevenson,"ca n''t you be a good fellow and run back home?
14362Now, shall we go back?
14362Now, the question comes, to which of these worlds belongs John Cowles? 14362 Now, whut''d you do if a man was to kivver you like I''m a- doin''now?"
14362Orme,said I,"Mr. Gordon Orme?
14362Say, mister, mebbe that''s yore wife back there in the kebbin in the middle of the boat?
14362Say, mister,said she,"how tall are you?"
14362Shall the firing be with the single barrel, or with both barrels?
14362Shall we go back to camp?
14362Silly, do you want me to put your hand in hers? 14362 So you did not hear my little effort the other night?"
14362Sport, great sport, is n''t it?
14362Suppose she does love you-- do I not love you more? 14362 Tell me, Jack Cowles,"she said,"is there anything in the world you are afraid to do?"
14362Tell me, have you seen those feats? 14362 Tell me, what in the world are you doing here?"
14362The Court being, as it were, broke, will some one be so good as to lend the Court a silver coin? 14362 The light then was that of some servant?"
14362The question only is, has my punishment been enough, or can it be enough? 14362 Then Captain Orme was quite mistaken?"
14362Then it is to be war?
14362Then it was Ellen?
14362Then we two are all the people left in the world, John Cowles? 14362 Then what is it?"
14362Then which do you choose, sir?
14362Then why did you go there so often all last year?
14362Then you knew I was a Quaker? 14362 Then, Mr. Cowles, you do not care to go back down the valley, and to return to the girl in Virginia?"
14362To how many have you said that?
14362To leave the County?
14362To leave the State?
14362Under which flag, then, for you?
14362Wanted me?
14362What are the Sioux doing so far east?
14362What became of your last husband, Mandy?
14362What boundary do we use, gentlemen?
14362What could he do?
14362What did she say?
14362What do you know about surgery?
14362What do you mean, Jack?
14362What do you mean?
14362What do you mean?
14362What do you say to me, John Cowles? 14362 What do you see?"
14362What does this mean?
14362What good would that do?
14362What has happened?
14362What is it?
14362What is it?
14362What is it?
14362What is marriage, John Cowles?
14362What is wrong?
14362What shall we do? 14362 What shall we do?"
14362What shall we do?
14362What was that?
14362What would happen then?
14362What ye skeered of? 14362 What''d them men have to do with it?
14362What''s that, my good fellow?
14362What''s the mystery? 14362 What''s up?"
14362What''s wrong?
14362What, has Kitty talked?
14362What? 14362 When is this wedding to be?"
14362When one does not love a girl, and sees no happiness in the thought of living with her all his life, what squares that, Harry, in your opinion?
14362When we have escaped,she went on,"if ever we do escape, then this will still be our troth, will it not, John Cowles?"
14362Where are you going?
14362Where d''ye suppose it was unlessen at our_ ho_tel? 14362 Where did you learn the trick?"
14362Where is Colonel Meriwether?
14362Where shall I shoot it?
14362Where you go?
14362Who are you?
14362Who is in there?
14362Who''d have thought the Sioux would be this far east?
14362Who''s the other?
14362Whut business is this here of yores?
14362Whut you all doin''down there?
14362Why could they not remain as they are?
14362Why did you not come on to the settlements? 14362 Why did you not tell me?
14362Why do you ask me? 14362 Why do you blind the poor fellow?"
14362Why do you say that?
14362Why do you think I belong to the Army?
14362Why should we not have done what-- what is it that you mean?
14362Why should you not both have done so?
14362Why, then?
14362Why?
14362Will you be ready?
14362Will you make me a promise?
14362Will you make me one promise?
14362Will you promise me to do one thing you have already promised to do?
14362With a special reference to Army officers born in the South?
14362Witnesses?
14362Wo n''t I do?
14362Would you like it?
14362Would you like to have a little match at our birds?
14362Yes, but how did you get here yourself-- you were not on my boat?
14362Yes, who''s the tall one?
14362Yes? 14362 Yes?"
14362Yes?
14362You a kunnel?
14362You are John Cowles, sir, then?
14362You are from Washington?
14362You are playing some deeper game than I know?
14362You did-- and alone? 14362 You do not ask that now?"
14362You feel it beat?
14362You know his breeding?
14362You know of Grace Sheraton, back there?
14362You object? 14362 You refuse to do what you have planned to do?
14362You spoke of pigeon shooting,said Orme lazily,"Blue rocks, I imagine?"
14362You wish him?
14362You, Aunt Mandy?
14362Young man, what do you propose to do in regard to my daughter? 14362 Your father is Mr. John Cowles, of Cowles''Farms?"
14362Your son, Andrew Jackson?
14362_ Who_ came with you, Aunt Mandy?
14362After all, Jack, you are young, and so is--""Ellen?"
14362Am I good enough for you, Ellen?
14362Am I your shadow, Mr. Cowles, or are you mine?
14362An''whut you doin''out here?"
14362And in what arm?"
14362And she-- Ellen-- the girl I had seen and loved in the desert silences?
14362And then to me,"You do n''t know Benjie?
14362And what will be the result when the South, plus England, fights these tariff makers over here?
14362And, I say, you did meet the savages, did n''t you?"
14362Are n''t you, Annie?"
14362Are we not as well off as those?"
14362Are you a married man?"
14362Are you pleased to tell me what will settle this debt between us?"
14362Auberry, ca n''t you find me a bit of sinew somewhere, and perhaps a needle of some sort?"
14362Aunt Mandy, where was all this?"
14362But I trust nothing has been done as yet--""You trust not?
14362But now what shall we do?"
14362But presently I asked him,"Have you no word for me from her?"
14362But say, who''s that a- comin''down the street there in that little sawed- off wagon?"
14362But shall we not have them bring us one of these juleps of the country?
14362But tell me, why did not your father himself come out?"
14362But then, how could he find us, little as we are, in this big country?
14362But what of me that night?
14362But whither?
14362But who was I that I should judge him?
14362But wo n''t you promise what I''ve asked?
14362But you know my black horse, Mr. Orme, that you fancied?"
14362CHAPTER XXIX THE GARDEN Soon now we would be able to travel; but whither, and for what purpose?
14362Ca n''t you catch him?"
14362Came out from Leavenworth with you, I suppose?"
14362Can marriage be of but two?"
14362Can not a woman be free as much as a man?
14362Can you-- could you--""Can you yourself forgive this?"
14362Colonel Meriwether,"I cried out at length,"you are not regretting that I brought her through?"
14362Could the wild freedom of this life have worked a similar spell on her?
14362Could we go on?"
14362Could you promise me, clean and solemn?
14362Could you promise me-- in that way?
14362Cowles, what do you know about that man?"
14362Cowles?"
14362Cowles?"
14362Did n''t I_ hear_ him-- didn''t you hear him_ admit_ it?"
14362Did n''t you know I married ole man Auberry?
14362Did you ever know me to break parole?"
14362Did you hear me?"
14362Do n''t you see them fixing up the dancing platform on Parade?
14362Do n''t you suppose all the world will_ talk_?
14362Do we love because we are but creatures?
14362Do you expect me to tolerate that sort of thing from you?"
14362Do you figure that I am a woman because you are a man?
14362Do you forgive me?
14362Do you shoot, sir?"
14362Do you suspect me of putting out a beacon light for a cheap night adventure with some man?
14362Does thee think thee can handle all three of these activities in combination?''
14362Ellen Meriwether accepted him on such terms?"
14362Ever do anything at it?"
14362Few of us are all we ought to be, but why?
14362Has she spoken to you in any way that might lead you to think she would prefer our engagement to be broken?"
14362Have I not right as much as you?
14362Have you been sick?
14362Have you not been free?"
14362Have you saw airy buffeler?
14362He had given me-- what?
14362How could I inflict upon her a still more poignant suffering than this physical one?
14362How could you be expected to understand what it took me years to learn?
14362How old is your father, my good fellow?"
14362How shall I know_ her_?"
14362How should it be known that we were almost within touch of the great highway of the West, now again thronging with wagon trains?
14362How''d you git away out here ahead of us?
14362I had delved deep as I might in law, and history and literature, seeking to solve, as I might-- what?
14362I infer that he has advised you of the condition of our joint business matters?"
14362I must make another home for myself, and for--""For me?"
14362I presume Captain Orme told you?"
14362I say, Cowles, could n''t you do that for me?
14362I suppose you talked it over with him?"
14362I''m sure he will join us to- night?"
14362Indeed, how should you know?
14362Is he away in the West?
14362Is he here again?
14362Is it because you know I am human, and young, and fit for love?
14362Is it not all wild and free?"
14362Is it not so?"
14362Is it of the church?"
14362Is it proof?"
14362Is it your wound again?"
14362Is my girl sick?"
14362Is my parole ended?"
14362Is n''t it curious?"
14362Is n''t it funny how these things go?
14362Is n''t it glorious, here on the Plains?
14362Is n''t that your business?"
14362Is that satisfactory?"
14362Is that understood, gentlemen?"
14362Is that why?
14362Is there any one who wishes to back me, perhaps, or to back Mr. Cowles?
14362Is this Thy will?"
14362It asked of me, as though he spoke:"Are you, then, game to the core?
14362It could not have been a signal?"
14362It is not necessary for me to explain to you the full nature of it--""Then she has sent for me?"
14362Jack, you remember Jennie Williams, across under Catoctin?"
14362Kitty has talked again?
14362Kitty?"
14362Look, is n''t it nicely done?"
14362Matt, look at him, is n''t he old, and sour, and solemn?"
14362Mrs. Stevenson, will you allow this sort of talk?"
14362Must I live here always-- must I settle down and be simply a farmer forever?
14362Now since I have come so far to see you and have found you out so soon, why do you not confess that you are Miss Ellen?
14362Now what is an''indenture''?
14362Now, I wonder if indeed you did meet Ellen?
14362Now, may I go?
14362Now, why was it you did not take up these matters with Colonel Meriwether?
14362Once more, whither was my folly carrying me?
14362Or was it because she was keen, shrewd and in control of herself, able to make plans to her own advantage?
14362Orme?"
14362Perhaps you have heard of exchangeable personalities?"
14362See, is n''t it fine?"
14362Setting aside all my own acts in other matters, why can you not remember at least so much as that?
14362Shall I admire you and give you another chance, or shall I kill you now?"
14362Shall it then be war?"
14362She was glad that she might now be more free, needing some manner of friend; but she was still-- what?
14362Should I wait here, or at Leavenworth; or should I go on still farther west?
14362Since I did not, and since, therefore, you owe me something for that fact, what do you say about it yourself, my friend?"
14362Sport?
14362Stevenson?"
14362Suppose we leave the debt unsettled until we meet some time?
14362Suppose you were in the case of that other young man who loves her?
14362Tell me, Jack, did you quarrel?
14362Tell me, are you a skilled wrestler?"
14362Tell me, who are you, and what are you, and what are you doing in this country?"
14362Thank you,"to Williams,"and now, gentlemen, will you toss for the order of precedence?"
14362That what a woman prizes is not right, is not good?
14362The first one was-- what shall I say?
14362Thee is older-- what has come to thee, my son?"
14362Their superiors?
14362Then why should not you and I try to forget?
14362Until you meet another?"
14362Was it not true?
14362Was it that I again was at her side, that old associations awakened?
14362What are you doing here?"
14362What are you trying to cover up?"
14362What can we do?
14362What chance have we men against such weapons?
14362What could I do after that?
14362What did he say to you when you saw him?"
14362What did he tell you?"
14362What did you expect?"
14362What do you mean?
14362What do you mean?"
14362What do you wish?
14362What had I brought to this girl''s creed of life, heretofore always so sweet and usual?
14362What had come of all my studies?
14362What is he doing out here?"
14362What matters it that you suffer or that I suffer?
14362What say the words of the law?
14362What shall we do?"
14362What was I coming to, I, John Cowles, this morning when the bees droned fat and the flowers made fragrant all the air?
14362What was he doing here in our quiet country community?
14362What was his errand?
14362What was it that sat upon her face-- melancholy, or fear, or sorrow, or resentment?
14362What wonder the saying that no Army man ever passed St. Louis without leaving a heart, or taking one with him?
14362What would be right for him?"
14362What''s wrong, Doctor?
14362What-- a judge of the Supreme Court?"
14362When I am old, will you cast me off?
14362Where all you goin'', anyhow?
14362Where is your husband?
14362Where they at?"
14362Where was the old world I had left behind me?
14362Where will England side when the break comes?
14362Where''d you all be now if it was n''t for me?"
14362Whether by plan of her own or not, I can not say, but it softened to a more gentle-- shall I say a more beseeching look?
14362Whut business is it o''yourn, anyhow?
14362Whut''s the word of a man to a woman?
14362Whut''s the word of a woman to a man?
14362Why are we made the way we are?"
14362Why barter and dicker over any woman with another man?
14362Why do you abuse him in this way?"
14362Why was Orme there?"
14362Why, then, had she kept it, why had she brought it home with her?
14362Why?"
14362Will you gentlemen present me?"
14362Wo n''t you promise?"
14362Would any one else like to lay a little something?
14362You do love me?"
14362You do promise to keep your promise?
14362You feel your honor too deeply touched?
14362You, sir, what''s wrong?
14362_ And, then I felt my face grow ashy cold and pale in one sudden breath!_"But why do you look so sad?"
14362_ Are you to blame_?"
14362are they feats, or simply lies?"
14362she exclaimed, reaching out a hand against a tree trunk to steady herself,"Your leavings?
14362she murmured,"what shall we do?
14482A little game-- a game of poker, eh?
14482A successful evening, Joaquina?
14482Across the muskeg?
14482Ah, and you did n''t recognize the man until you''d seen his horse?
14482Ah, poker?
14482All the time?
14482Am I right in my recollection of him when I say that he was possessed of a dark, dark face, lantern jaws, thin-- and high, prominent cheek- bones?
14482An''what made you venture on the trail on such a night?
14482And I presume you consider that we should work chiefly on that hypothesis?
14482And Peter disposed of his stock that way-- all by himself?
14482And besides-- what?
14482And do you really think that he wants to marry you?
14482And how did you obtain your release?
14482And were you there, sir, when Horrocks was captured?
14482And what did he say?
14482And what is Retief''s object in defraying all expenses-- in giving the treat, when he knows that the white men are after him red- hot?
14482And who are they likely to send down in place-- ah-- of the unfortunate Horrocks, think you?
14482And why not? 14482 And you do not consider the possible capture of Retief as being the most important feature of the case?"
14482And you gave no sign? 14482 And you go not to the fire?"
14482And you stand?
14482And you''re sure he died in the''reeking keg''?
14482And you?
14482And you?
14482And your uncle is upstairs in bed?
14482And?
14482Animals all right?
14482Another?
14482Any of the Breeds from the other settlements coming over?
14482Anything you''d like to ask him?
14482Are the boys out yet?
14482Are you not going to dance?
14482Are you ready for the plunge, Bill?
14482Are you satisfied, Bill? 14482 Bill, can nothing be done to stop him?"
14482Bill, what are they going to do?
14482Bill, what''s up?
14482Bill,said the girl, as soon as her uncle was out of earshot,"what news?"
14482Bunning- Ford?
14482But ca n''t we fight him-- can''t we give him--"Law? 14482 But how comes it that Golden Eagle is still alive?
14482But how? 14482 But how?"
14482But surely he must lose? 14482 But tell me,"said the man, anxious to assure himself that no detail was forgotten,"what about the trail of our footprints?"
14482But the price?
14482But who''s got the nerve to follow''em? 14482 But, Lablache,"said the rancher, gazing with drunken earnestness into the other''s face,"you will not press me?"
14482But-- but what step do you propose? 14482 But-- how does this affect my uncle?"
14482Can you see me this afternoon? 14482 Can you?"
14482Chance?
14482Cold?
14482Did any one call last night while I was out?
14482Did you find the bodies of the murdered police?
14482Do y''hear?
14482Do you really, Bill? 14482 Do you think it polite-- wise?"
14482Easy-- easy? 14482 Eh, what is it, Rodgers?"
14482Eh? 14482 Eh?
14482Eh? 14482 Eh?"
14482Eleven o''clock to- night you say is the appointed hour?
14482Excuse me, Mr. Allandale, but if you doubt my word--"Doubt your word, boy?
14482Financially?
14482For?
14482Goin''to stay long?
14482Going to cross the keg, eh? 14482 Going to join us in the parlor of Smith''s fragrant hostelry?
14482Golden Eagle?
14482Golden Eagle?
14482Guess you did n''t hear a horse gallopin''jest now, pard?
14482Hallo, Bill, whither bound?
14482Has Uncle John been in, Mamie?
14482Have a good game?
14482Have you got anything to eat?
14482Have you had no sleep?
14482Have you seen these Mennonites?
14482Have you?
14482He did n''t say what time he would return, I suppose?
14482He plays with them-- mostly?
14482Hello, wot''s that?
14482His hands?
14482How are you?
14482How came you to see all this, and escape?
14482How far does this valley extend?
14482How long ago is it since Lablache proposed to you? 14482 How long are you going to play?"
14482How many years is it, John, that we have struggled side by side in this benighted land?
14482How many?
14482How much did you take from the Honorable?
14482How much longer do you intend to keep me here?
14482How much?
14482How much?
14482How much?
14482How old is she?
14482How-- how? 14482 How?
14482How?
14482How?
14482Hum? 14482 I owe him some-- money-- yes-- but--""Poker?"
14482I see,he went on, gazing out across the prairie,"this is not a warrant business, eh?
14482I wonder what it would be like living a private, idle life?
14482If you were suddenly called upon to meet your liabilities to me, John,said the money- lender, smiling,"how would it fix you?"
14482In those words?
14482Interested?
14482Is he dead?
14482Is that why you insist on coming to- night?
14482It is past ten, sir, shall I close up?
14482Lablache here?
14482Lablache?
14482Limit?
14482Marry you, Jacky?
14482Missie Jacky?
14482More bonfires, boss?
14482Murder? 14482 No?
14482Not''nough, eh? 14482 Now, what about tracking the cattle?"
14482Only?
14482P''r''aps?
14482Rodgers?
14482Safe here? 14482 Say, Jake, what''s that?"
14482Say, auntie, you''ve observed uncle lately-- I mean how strange he is? 14482 Say, sergeant, you ai n''t goin''fur to try an''take''i m at the pusky?"
14482Selfish?
14482Shall we ride?
14482Shall you play-- play the game? 14482 Sleep, child?
14482That you, Baptiste?
14482That you, Gustave?
14482The man has gone into Stormy Cloud to report?
14482Then why in thunder do you come to me?
14482This brother of yours-- he was tall and thin?
14482Thought you said you were n''t coming in to- night?
14482Too tired last night to sleep?
14482Uncle, did it ever strike you that that greasy money- lender wants to marry me himself?
14482Uncle, what did Lablache come to see you for last night?
14482Uncle,she went on,"tell me truly, do you owe anything to Lablache?
14482Uncle-- what was Lablache talking to you about? 14482 Wal?"
14482Wal?
14482Was my message delivered to him?
14482Well, sergeant, what''s your best news?
14482Well, what happened to you last night, Lablache? 14482 Well, what is this''unusual''course?"
14482Well? 14482 Well?"
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482Well?
14482What about Lablache, eh?
14482What about your promise to tell me about Peter Retief?
14482What am I to do?
14482What are we going to do?
14482What are you doing? 14482 What are you going to do?"
14482What are_ we_ to do? 14482 What d''you think, can we make Norton''s in that time-- it''s a good sixteen miles?"
14482What d''you want?
14482What did he come for?
14482What did you want me for?
14482What do the others say?
14482What do you call it?
14482What do you make of it?
14482What do you mean?
14482What do you propose to do?
14482What do you want for the debts? 14482 What does Jacky think about-- these things?"
14482What does he want?
14482What have you got?
14482What if''the Ferret''hears?
14482What is it?
14482What is it?
14482What is to be done?
14482What pleasure can she have?
14482What say, John-- Doc-- a little game until breakfast?
14482What time shall I tell Jacky to expect you home, John?
14482What''s that about Sim Lory, Jacky?
14482What''s that for?
14482What''s up with you? 14482 What''s up?"
14482What''s what?
14482What, Mr. Lablache, you here? 14482 What-- what is it?"
14482What?
14482When d''ye think you''ll start re- building? 14482 When shall it be?
14482Where are you going?
14482Where is Dawson now?
14482Where then?
14482Where''s the Doc?
14482Where?
14482Which means?
14482Which means?
14482Which path?
14482Whiskey or rum?
14482Who is he playing with?
14482Who is that she is dancing with now?
14482Who knows the secret of it?
14482Who knows what to- night may bring forth? 14482 Who says hold on?
14482Who''s the spider-- Lablache?
14482Who-- who told you, girl?
14482Who?
14482Whose?
14482Why did you come to tell me of this?
14482Why force me to extremities, John?
14482Why should I, dear?
14482Why, Jacky, what means this early rising?
14482Why, what ails you? 14482 Why, what''s happened to Rodgers?"
14482Why-- how?
14482Why? 14482 Why?"
14482Why?
14482Why?
14482Will Golden Eagle stand''knee- haltering,''Bill?
14482Will you send for him,''Aunt''Margaret?
14482Won''t-- you mean?
14482Yes, why?
14482Yes-- why not?
14482Yes-- why?
14482You could not retire?
14482You''ve heard all the news, John?
14482A secret path?"
14482Accept that and what possibilities are not opened up?
14482According to your message you are the chief victim of this''duffing''business?"
14482Across the keg, I know, but how-- how?
14482Again-- but how?
14482Ai n''t you proud to think that it''s all yours?"
14482All right; goin''to play a tidy game?
14482Allandale?"
14482Am I never to be rid of this damned Englishman?"
14482An''thar is a big store of whisky thar, eh, boss?
14482And now-- now; what of the present?
14482And then-- what then?
14482And then--""And then?"
14482And what had conjured this thought?
14482And what imagination can possibly conceive a more cruel-- more perfect trap for man or beast?
14482And what time will you come?"
14482And what was his account of him?"
14482And who shall say how much they had heard, or had seen, or knew of that compact sealed in Bad Man''s Hollow?
14482And who shall say that their idea of justice was wrong?
14482And why?
14482And why?
14482And-- do you?"
14482Any room?"
14482Anything I can do, sir?"
14482Are n''t you going to have one?"
14482Are we going to sit still while he terrorizes the whole country?
14482Bunning- Ford I suppose you would say, eh?"
14482But be ye flesh or sperrit?
14482But do n''t you think you are considering her future from a rather selfish point of view, John?"
14482But say, what''s the game to- night?"
14482But, auntie, dear, where has uncle gone?
14482By the way, what about your men?"
14482CHAPTER III A BIG GAME OF POKER"What about cards?"
14482Can I speak fairer?
14482Can Jacky help talking prairie slang?
14482Can Lablache help grubbing for money?
14482Can the Foss River help freezing in winter?
14482Can you do it, Bill?"
14482Can you help caring for all of our worthless selves who belong to the Foss River Settlement?
14482Can you lay hands on Retief, or tell us where the stock is hidden?"
14482Chips, no?
14482Coming, Bill?"
14482Could a more perfect trap be devised by evil human ingenuity than this?
14482Did not they know, only too well, of the traps which had been laid and which had failed to ensnare the daring desperado in days gone by?
14482Did you ever suspect anything?"
14482Do n''t you see how Lablache intends to marry you?
14482Do you know what stock we''ve taken, all told?
14482Do you know where he is?"
14482Do you think any one could dissuade him?
14482Do you think we''re safe here?"
14482Does he know anything about prospecting?"
14482Does n''t Jacky look lovely to- night?"
14482Does your''plug''shy any?"
14482Fifty o''the best greenbacks?"
14482For instance, do you ever hear me spoken of by any other name than''Poker''John?"
14482Had breakfast?"
14482Had not she sealed a solemn compact with her lover?
14482Has he any hold upon you?"
14482Have you anything to tell us about this Retief?
14482Have you seen Rodgers at all?"
14482He does n''t suspect that you know?"
14482He seemed half asleep, and, as the doctor had asserted, thoroughly ill."Arrest, doctor?
14482Horrocks?"
14482Hot lot-- isn''t it?
14482How are the''improvident''--''harum- scarums''to live if you are not present to minister to their wants-- upon the best of security?"
14482How are we to find the secret of the crossing?"
14482How are you, Jacky?
14482How d''ye do, Mrs. Abbot?
14482How is your store-- that temple of wealth and high interest-- to get on without you?
14482How long have they been there?"
14482How much did he pay the neche this time?"
14482How much have you lost to him this week?"
14482How much whisky will he buy, think you?"
14482How much?"
14482How utterly inconceivable becomes the association of evil with such transcendently beautiful creation?
14482How''s it that you''re ready to part two thou''for''em?"
14482How?
14482How?"
14482I guess he did n''t pass the evening talking of Retief-- and what he intends to do towards his capture?
14482I presume your discretion will not permit you to be present at the capture?"
14482I suppose it will be the usual drunken orgie?"
14482I take it you are going single- handed into the half- breed camp, where you expect to find this Retief, Sergeant Horrocks?"
14482I''m going across there this evening after tea-- coming?"
14482If path across the mire there is he knows it and we do n''t, and, as you say, who''s goin''to follow him?"
14482Is it a go?"
14482Is that big enough for you, Lablache?
14482Is the whisky the result of his losses?
14482Is-- is it honest?"
14482It was a little less than a year ago-- wasn''t it?"
14482Lablache must be made to disgorge-- but how?
14482Lablache?"
14482Left your men down in the settlement, eh?"
14482May I smoke?"
14482Murder-- and who was the victim?
14482No, why should he give her up?
14482Norton?"
14482Now I''ve jest come right along to do biz with you-- how does that fit your bowels?"
14482Now that the campaign has begun, what is the next move?"
14482Now what about the keg?
14482Now, how to restore that property and prevent the villain''s further depredations?
14482Now, will you part?"
14482Now-- what did he say?"
14482Now-- what news?"
14482Nuthin''more?"
14482Or is the madness for a gamble the result of the liquor?"
14482Or should he renounce his passion for Jacky?
14482Or would he still choose to remain?
14482Peter''s relationship to your mother-- did the Breeds in the settlement know anything of it?"
14482Rascal-- scoundrel-- as he is, he would not dare to set me on a false scent--""Not if backed by a man like Retief-- and all the half- breed camp?
14482Retief?
14482Rye or Scotch?"
14482Savee?
14482Savee?
14482Savee?
14482Savee?
14482Savee?"
14482Say now, how long did it take you to fix them shacks up?"
14482Say, Bill, do you know that that skunk holds mortgages on our ranch for two hundred thousand dollars?
14482Say, Nat, how goes the time?
14482Say, d''you think I''d be in the way, sergeant?"
14482Say, is Silas around?
14482Say, uncle, ca n''t we frolic him some?
14482Say, uncle, what was it about?"
14482Say, what d''ye do with the skin when you eat a bananny?
14482Say, which is his shack did you say?"
14482Say, you''re sure you do n''t think badly of me because-- because I''m Peter''s sister?"
14482Say,"with a keen look round,"can we talk here?"
14482Shall we cover the window?
14482Shall we go in- doors?"
14482Slick?
14482Sole your boots with it?
14482The occasional game of cards we have had together has always helped to relieve monotony, eh, Lablache?
14482The path-- had he taken the wrong one?
14482Then he started-- was the store secure?
14482Then she added, in a tone from which all seriousness had vanished,"Has n''t Lablache ever asked you to marry him?"
14482Then, bracing himself, he asked weakly,"But what are you to do?"
14482Thirteen''Jackpots,''John-- yes?"
14482Two thousand for a certain seven?
14482Was he at last going to discover the coveted secret?
14482Was he not the great-- the wealthy man of the place?
14482Was it fancy, or was it fact?
14482Was she not equally determined upon a terrible revenge?
14482Well?
14482What about Lablache?"
14482What are you going to do until then?"
14482What are you going to do, Bill?"
14482What are you going to do?"
14482What are you two boys going to do?"
14482What breadth of thought must thus be inspired in one who gazes out across the boundless expanse at the glories of a perfect sunrise?
14482What could it mean?
14482What d''you say, John?"
14482What did Horrocks do after you told him about Lablache?"
14482What did he threaten you with?
14482What do you mean, man?"
14482What do you propose to pay me?"
14482What do you propose?
14482What do you propose?"
14482What does one want ices for?"
14482What does''freedom''mean?"
14482What else was there of his-- Lablache''s-- that the Breed could attack?
14482What had Lablache been closeted with her uncle for?
14482What is all the ranching world of Alberta to do?
14482What is it that Lablache wants of me?"
14482What is it, dear?
14482What is it?
14482What is it?
14482What say to a''Collins''?"
14482What say?
14482What terrible depths had he delved into?
14482What then?"
14482What was now to become of the settlement; what was to become of him?
14482What was the object of this magnanimous offer?
14482What would the next bring forth?
14482What would the next twenty- four hours bring forth?
14482What''s Bunning- Ford worth?
14482What''s his racket?"
14482What''s his ranch worth?"
14482What''s that?"
14482What''s the price?"
14482What''s your news?
14482What, do they take us for a lot of''gophers''?
14482What, have n''t you heard about the governor?
14482What, in return, is demanded of me?"
14482What?
14482When does he come to prepare?"
14482When money was scarce among them, would he not drive them starving from his great store?
14482When their children and women were sick, would he not refuse them drugs-- food-- nourishment of any sort, unless the money was down?
14482Where are the doctor and Aunt Margaret?"
14482Where are they?"
14482Where are you going?"
14482Where can I see you-- quiet- like?
14482Where''s he been all the time?"
14482Where''s the''hand''that''s gulled you?"
14482Which way?"
14482While he''hustles''every head of stock from us, and-- and spirits it away?
14482Who could associate lazy, good- natured, careless"Lord"Bill with serious love?
14482Who said that scoundrel Retief was dead-- drowned in the great muskeg?
14482Who shall penetrate those complex feelings which go to make a man what his secret consciousness knows himself to be?
14482Who shall say of what a man''s disposition is composed?
14482Who told you about-- about me?"
14482Who''s is it?"
14482Who, in Foss River, had he not known for years?
14482Whose evening off is it?"
14482Why do n''t he come?"
14482Why should he give the girl up, and see her calmly secured by that cursed Bunning- Ford?
14482Why, I say, do we pay for the up- keep of the police if this sort of thing is allowed to go on?
14482Why, dear?"
14482Why, wot''s ailing yer?"
14482Why-- why had this thing been done, and what strange freak had induced the"hustler"to conceive such a form of imprisonment for his captive?
14482Why?"
14482Why?"
14482Why?"
14482Wo n''t you really join us?"
14482Wot d''ye think of the road across the keg?
14482Wot say?
14482Wot''s the figger?"
14482Would he accept or not?
14482Would the flame grow or would it sparkle up for one brief moment and then go out from pure lack of fuel?
14482You follow me?
14482You look positively ill. Have you heard how the arrest went off last night?"
14482You understand?
14482You''ve noticed how often, now, he is-- is not himself?"
14482did ever a man suffer so?
14482what is it?"
21556And Meyer,I interrupted,"what of him?"
21556And the horses?
21556Any milk?
21556Are not the Crows, the Bannaxas, the Flat Heads, and the Umbiquas, starving during the winter? 21556 Are you quite sure that the revelation was from the Lord?"
21556Aye, boil, bubble, evaporate,exclaimed I;"what do I care for water or tea now?"
21556Can you give my horse a pail of water?
21556Could you restore him, if his head had been cut off?
21556Does she? 21556 Does your power to raise this man to life again depend upon the particular nature of his disease?
21556Fear has turned the Crows into stones,resumed the Prince,"what has become of their light feet?
21556Flower of the magnolia,said he, taking her by the hand,"wilt thou love me less as a brother than as a husband?
21556How do you know that you can?
21556How far to Little Rock?
21556How far,said I,"to Caledonia city?"
21556How much?
21556Is there no farm on the way?
21556It is a shameful imposition,he cried;"how much do you want after all?"
21556Now, why should not the Shoshones put themselves at once above the reach of such chances? 21556 Oh, Pat, be a good man; ca n''t you go and pick some berries?
21556Slick was thunderstruck,` and the pocket- book?'' 21556 Take them away, then; are they tied?"
21556The bodies of the young women have been atrociously and cowardly abused-- seest thou? 21556 The what?"
21556Well, if this man had been killed, and one of his arms cut off, could you bring him to life, and also restore to him his arm?
21556Well, stranger, what will you give me to ferry you over?
21556What is the matter, Blackey?
21556What the devil can you have babbled about during the whole blessed night? 21556 What,"I exclaimed,"after he was dead?"
21556Where do you come from, eh?
21556Why not settle the matter with them all at once? 21556 Why, you are both of you mere children; she ca n''t get a house, and how could you support her?"
21556Would they not be too happy to exchange their furs against the corn, the tobacco, and good dried fish of the Shoshones? 21556 ` And so you lost the wager?''
21556` Faith, have you?'' 21556 ` Where are they?''
21556` Why, you fool, you did not give them your money, did you?'' 21556 After a silence of a few minutes, he asked the Comanche chief what he could answer to that? 21556 And next? 21556 Are they not, although rebels and unnatural children, still the children the Shoshones? 21556 At last the judge condescended to cease his whittling, and come to make his own bargain, which he did openly:Any good saddles, Fielding?
21556At last, an old chief rose and addressed Opishka:"Great chief,"said he,"why askest thou?
21556But what could be expected from a Frenchman?
21556But what, indeed, could be expected from a people who murdered their guests, invited by them, and under the sanction of a white flag?
21556Can a Comanche and warrior think in any way but one?
21556Come, old chap, let us have your bill, and mind, make it out as for old customers, for we intend to return often; do n''t we?''
21556Could he not easily procure plates and inscribe thereon a set of characters, no matter what, and exhibit them to the intended witnesses as genuine?
21556Did I not say so?
21556Didst thou ever dream of another voice than mine, a younger one, breathing of love and despair?"
21556Didst thou ever dream of one?
21556Do my warriors know such a people?
21556Do n''t you hear anything?"
21556Do they intend to conquer Missouri, Illinois, Mexico?
21556Does the snake offer peace to the squirrel when he kills him with the poison of his dreaded glance?
21556Dost thou know the love of a brother?
21556Eh, Boone, my boy, how fares it with ye?"
21556Had they not the unlimited range of the prairies?
21556Hast thou a wish?
21556He was going, but the chief grasped him firmly by the arm:--"Where dost thou wish to go?
21556How long it lasted none is living to say; and who could?
21556I only said,` How dare you, Sir?''
21556Is not the poison a deadly one?
21556Is the buffalo less a buffalo when he grows old, or the eagle less an eagle when a hundred winters have whitened his wings?
21556Is there a place in the mountains or the prairies where the name of Mosh Kohta has not been pronounced and praised?
21556It is only the white Manitou that speaks to him, and how could the white Manitou know the nature of the Indians?
21556Now I was in uncommon bad temper that morning, and I answered his question with a"What do you mean, you old fool?"
21556Now, is an impure Cayuga a fit tomb for the body of a Comanche warrior?
21556Perceive you not how fast the blood runs into their veins?
21556Reduction of duty on foreign goods?
21556See you not into their hearts?
21556Shall we chastise them and give their carcasses to the crows and wolves?
21556Shall we return, or encamp here?"
21556The Prince spoke:--"Do you not want to become the most powerful nation of the West?
21556The chief looked at him and replied, with the most ineffable contempt:"What should I answer?"
21556The farmer then asked--"You are quite certain that you can bring this man to life again?"
21556The merchant, however, would not:"Why did you take it?"
21556The question was, what was the length of the rope required; i.e., what was the width of the river?
21556The text was:--"Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
21556The young wanderer was amazed; he had now ten thousand dollars, but what could he do with so much money?
21556There stood the bleeding moon;''twas neither light nor obscurity; how could man divide the time and the seasons?
21556Was it good-- was it bad?
21556Was it good?
21556What could he do?
21556What could we do?
21556What does this mean?
21556What evidence, then, have we of the_ existence_ of these plates?
21556What have they to eat?
21556What hunting and what fishing have you had this last year?
21556What must it then be on those who have resided with the Indians for years?
21556What next?
21556What say my warriors: let them speak?
21556What then shall we do?
21556What were the Crows before the coming of the white men, on the shores of the Buona Ventura?
21556What will you bet-- five, ten, fifty, hundred?
21556What would be easier than thus to impose on their credulity and weakness?
21556Where was the boasted superiority of the Texians over the Indian race?
21556Who ever heard of the Arrapahoes entering the war- path in night?
21556Who knows?
21556Who then could resist the Shoshones?
21556Who will say that the Mormon prophet is not among the great spirits of the age?
21556Why ask?
21556Why comest thou, false- hearted, to pour thy deceitful words into the ears of my young men?
21556Why did they act like wolves, biting their benefactors instead of showing to them their gratitude?"
21556Why this exact discipline of the Mormon corps?
21556Why; can two suns light the same prairie, or two male eagles cover the same nest?
21556` I know better,''he will say,` do n''t I?
21556` They; who do you mean?''
21556does an Indian say to the beaver, he comes to offer peace when he sets his traps for him?
21556gentlemen,''exclaimed Slick,` why did you not say so?
21556or could you now bring any dead man to life?"
21556said I,"are they shooting in the bar?"
21556said Number 1, smacking his lips;` now have you the real genuine stuff?
21556suppose they are a vanguard of General Rusk''s army, and one of them should escape?
21556what can we expect from them and their assistance but exorbitant claims and undue interference?
21556why should they not get rich?
16174A-- a woman''s grave?
16174About the Indians, I mean----"The Indians? 16174 Ah, did I not tell you, Miss Elliston, that the men of the Mounted are with him heart and soul?
16174An''som''tam'', we fin''my man?
16174And among the oppressed and the down- trodden? 16174 And he destroyed it?
16174And he shot from-- far to the Southward?
16174And how about_ your own_ day of reckoning? 16174 And how long is it, Mr. Brute MacNair--"was it fancy, or did the man wince at the emphasis of the name?
16174And my Indians-- did they not follow you?
16174And now, fair lady, may I presume to inquire your mission in this land of magnificent wastes?
16174And so you have come to live with me?
16174And what is the meaning of this? 16174 And what will you do?"
16174And who, then, is the judge?
16174And you are sure he was duly charged with the murder of the two Indians?
16174And you thought I would league myself with a man like_ that_?
16174And you?
16174And your name, you Oligarch of the Far Outland? 16174 And_ your_ Indians?
16174Another portage?
16174Are you crazy?
16174Are you hurt?
16174Because the government looks after the education of the Indians-- provides schools and universities, and----"And what do they turn out?
16174But the grass?
16174But what are mere lives to you?
16174But what do you mean,''at last''?
16174But where are the other scows?
16174But why should he attack you?
16174But, Lapierre-- why did he allow it?
16174But, MacNair told you I did, and that I had timed accurately my trip to the Southward? 16174 But, a year from now, when they have begun to learn, what will they call you then--_your_ Indians?"
16174But, knowing that, why did LeFroy send him to the cottage?
16174But,she asked,"you are quite sure the tree is immovable?"
16174Ca n''t you see he''ll have things his own way with_ her_?
16174Can you doubt it?
16174Can you explain why Lapierre did not know of these pieces, until you called his attention to them?
16174Can you forgive me? 16174 Caught with the goods, eh?"
16174Come through from the Landing on the river?
16174Could you doubt it?
16174Did Lapierre tell you to deeg de gol'', or me? 16174 Did you arm your Indians?"
16174Did you catch the whiskey runners?
16174Did you repair the canoe?
16174Did_ she_ live here, on Snare Lake?
16174Do I understand,he began stiffly,"that you intend to prefer certain charges against MacNair-- that you demand his arrest?"
16174Do what?
16174Do you imagine MacNair will stand quietly by and allow you to build a trading- post here on the Yellow Knife? 16174 Do you imagine, for an instant, I would stoop to seek_ your_ protection?
16174Do you mean you are married? 16174 Do you mean,"cried the girl in horror,"that they are drunk?"
16174Do you not see, Miss Elliston, that MacNair is trying by every means in his power to discredit me in your eyes? 16174 Do you think I would take your gold-- the gold that has been wrung from the hearts''blood of your Indians?"
16174Do you think he will stay?
16174Fight you? 16174 Gone?
16174Had I expected it, Miss Elliston, do you think I would have gone to the Southward? 16174 Had you expected this attack?"
16174How can I thank you,she repeated,"for-- for throwing aside your own work to attend to mine?"
16174How is he doing?
16174How ju fin''out?
16174How many? 16174 How much?"
16174How you fin''dat out? 16174 How''s the trail?"
16174I have sent word for the other scows to come on at once, and in the meantime, while my men attend to the freight, may we not talk?
16174I wonder if you are really such a fool, or do you know Lapierre for what he is?
16174If you are so all- fired wise, why have n''t you made a complaint?
16174Is that all?
16174Is their ignorance so abysmal?
16174Is-- is this possible?
16174MacNair is a white man----"But why should you fear him?
16174May we not become better acquainted, we two, who meet in this far place, where travellers are few and worth the knowing?
16174Meanin''he''s been runnin''whiskey all that time?
16174Miss Elliston, you have heard my name before?
16174Miss Elliston?
16174Money? 16174 Mr. Lapierre, where did those rifles come from?"
16174Murder?
16174My program,returned the other,"is to arrest Pierre Lapierre,""How are you going to do it?"
16174North of sixty, or south of sixty, what matters it? 16174 Of what use is all this talk?
16174Oh, why could n''t it have been the other way around? 16174 On your soul, will you promise, and will you keep that promise regardless of consequences?"
16174Once more, Miss Elliston, do you know that the men you saw fall are dead? 16174 Please, Miss Elliston, can you not forgive me-- wish me one last bon voyage?"
16174Risk? 16174 So you did get away from him after all?"
16174So you want to kill him, too? 16174 Suppose, however, that this particular tree is rotten-- rotten to the heart?
16174Surely, Lena, you remember that night on Snare Lake? 16174 Tell me, are you hurt?"
16174Tell me, did Lapierre advise you to bring me here?
16174Tell me,she continued almost sharply,"you are not afraid of MacNair?"
16174Thank you, Mr.--MacNair----"Why not Brute MacNair?
16174That the men of the Mounted are-- that they may be-- influenced?
16174The factor? 16174 Then the charge of murder stands?"
16174Then where did your Indians get their rifles?
16174Then you are Pierre Lapierre''s man? 16174 Then you will go with me to Snare Lake-- to carry our war into the heart of the enemy''s country?"
16174Those that you will be forced to turn away-- what will they do? 16174 Those who deserted me for Vermilion?
16174Vermilion, eh? 16174 Was LeFroy, also, with you?"
16174Was it possible,she wondered,"that he would dare to flaunt this strength in the very face of the law?"
16174Well, Lapierre, where''d you come from?
16174Well, what''s your program?
16174Well, why do n''t you do something?
16174Well,he asked with evident impatience,"are you_ afraid_ of these Indians?"
16174Well,she asked,"is my evidence_ specific_ enough to warrant this man''s arrest?"
16174Well,she said,"what are you going to do about it?"
16174Well-- you have watched Apaw-- what have you found out?
16174What about the Mounted? 16174 What are they doing?"
16174What are we going to do?
16174What bales?
16174What defence can there be to conduct such as yours?
16174What do you know of what the North_ will_ be? 16174 What do you mean?
16174What do you mean? 16174 What do you mean?
16174What do you mean?
16174What do you mean?
16174What do you mean?
16174What do you mean?
16174What does it mean?
16174What for?
16174What has he got to do with it?
16174What is he doing?
16174What nonsense are you speaking now? 16174 What was there left to_ do_, for one who had blundered so miserably?"
16174What will we find?
16174What would you do? 16174 What would you do?"
16174What''s against him?
16174What''s happened here?
16174What''s the idea?
16174What?
16174Where are the courts north of sixty?
16174Where are the two who attacked Lena? 16174 Where are you going?"
16174Where have they gone?
16174Where is Lapierre?
16174Where is Lapierre?
16174Where is Lapierre?
16174Where is Vermilion now?
16174Where is the white_ kloochman_?
16174Where is your fort?
16174Where is your mother now?
16174Who are you?
16174Who fired that shot? 16174 Who is Pierre Lapierre?"
16174Who is he to say:''You shall drink no firewater''? 16174 Who is running this scheme?
16174Who killed him?
16174Who was the boss scowman? 16174 Why New Year''s Day any more than Christmas, or any other day?"
16174Why ask? 16174 Why did you come so far to my school?"
16174Why do n''t you charge Lapierre with the crimes you told me he was guilty of?
16174Why do you stay here?
16174Why should I care?
16174Why should I laugh? 16174 Why should one die calling for the sight of grass?"
16174Why should you try? 16174 Why?
16174Will you care for my Indians until such time as I shall return to them-- until I have ridded the North of Lapierre?
16174Will you care for my Indians?
16174Will you get some water? 16174 Will you take me there?
16174Will you take them? 16174 Ye''ll tak''charge here the noo, laddie?"
16174Yes,he urged eagerly,"who is this man?
16174Yes? 16174 Yes?"
16174You admit that?
16174You are going to leave me?
16174You are sure there is no mistake?
16174You came here for that?
16174You did not see any whiskey in the possession of these Indians?
16174You don''say lak''de pries'',she asked,"you not marry, you bad?"
16174You have decided?
16174You know w''at I''m hear on de revair?
16174You let me com''?
16174You mak''write on de papaire--_non_?
16174You mean,asked the girl,"that you think he may have-- an accomplice?"
16174You merely surmised they were drunk by their actions?
16174You patrol de Clearwater now, eh?
16174You received my letter?
16174You saw that? 16174 You see now,"he smiled,"why I built the storehouse so large?"
16174You see, I do n''t know much about surgery, and I was afraid perhaps--"Perhaps Lapierre had done his work well?
16174You think I''m goin''to pay you to tell me the name of the man we''ve already got locked up?
16174You will help me?
16174You will promise to grant one request-- for my sake?
16174You will wait while I write some letters? 16174 Your sympathies_ are_ with the Indians, are n''t they?"
16174_ Kah_ MacNair?
16174Admitting, then, that I have spoken the truth, do you suppose for an instant that these facts are not known to the Mounted?
16174Ai n''t we got de easy trail?
16174Among those whose heritage of freedom you have torn from them?
16174And also,"he bowed,"is it not possible that the great, what do you call her, Lena, has prepared supper?
16174And can you blame me-- when I thought you were in league with Brute MacNair?
16174And did you mean it?
16174And do you realize that time is a most important factor in our present undertaking?
16174And had the man set about deliberately to use her school as an excuse for the establishment of a trading- post within easy reach of his Indians?
16174And have you got the evidence to back your charge?
16174And how did MacNair know that he would attempt to murder him?
16174And how many are lawyers and doctors and engineers and ministers of the gospel?
16174And how many can truthfully be said to be''educated men in all walks of life''?
16174And that the moose- calf butts''til he butts it down-- what then?"
16174And what did he tell you?"
16174And what do you offer them in return?
16174And what has happened?
16174And what was the thing that was lifted from your canoe and dropped into the river?"
16174And who is he to flog you when you break that law?
16174And who pays you your money?
16174And why could n''t Lapierre have been the one to browbeat and bully them?"
16174And why had the two Indian scouts failed to report the man''s coming?
16174And why should he harm you?"
16174And why should the mention of her school awake disapproval, or arouse his antagonism?
16174And why should you want me?"
16174And why was the night so still?
16174And why?
16174And will you tell it to the judge and the jury?
16174And yet-- what had men told her of Tiger Elliston?
16174And you saw him fire the shots that killed two men?
16174And you will post them for me?"
16174And you?
16174And, why should the fact that you are a woman cause me to believe I could influence you?
16174Are women, then, less honest than men?
16174Are you a prophet, or merely an allegorist?"
16174Are you crazy?
16174Are you crazy?"
16174Are you ready?"
16174Are you?"
16174Build the store first, if you please----""And the stockade?"
16174But even if you succeed in escaping the Indians, what, then, of the Mounted?
16174But something interposed-- fate?
16174But tell me, how long have I been this way?
16174But why dissimulate?
16174But, the men?
16174Ca n''t you talk?"
16174Can we have three rooms?"
16174Can you swear it was whiskey?"
16174Can you tell me why MacNair''s Indians are willing to fight to the death to save him from harm?
16174Chloe sneered--"And the Indians-- do they not hate you?"
16174Could it be that she did not fit the North?
16174Could it be that they were right?
16174Could she ever atone in his eyes for her cocksureness, her blind egotism?
16174Could_ this_ be the man whose crimes against the poor, ignorant savages were the common knowledge of the North?
16174Crushed between the adamantine millstones of things as they ought not to be?
16174Dem Injun she squeal?
16174Destiny?
16174Did I see them?
16174Did he not say:"I am glad I did not kill him"?
16174Did she know the truth?
16174Did you not say that?
16174Did you see these things?
16174Do you dare to assume the responsibility?
16174Do you find that the Indian has taken kindly to the doctrines it teaches?
16174Do you find them happy, God- fearing Indians who embraced Christianity and are living in accord with its precepts?
16174Do you imagine I would stoop to defend my conduct to_ you_--to one who is, either wittingly or unwittingly, hand in glove with Pierre Lapierre?"
16174Do you know where Vermilion is?"
16174Do you realize that MacNair, now that he has lost his winter provisions, will stop at nothing to obtain more?"
16174Do you realize that among our men is not one who can read a blue- print, or has ever seen one?
16174Do you realize that up on Snare Lake, right now, are a bunch of Indians who depend on MacNair for their existence?
16174Do you suppose I came into this country with a hundred thousand dollars in cash-- or even a tenth of that amount?"
16174Do you think I am a spy?
16174Do you think I would tell you if I knew?
16174Do you think I''m going to be scared out by the first old man that wags his head and shrugs his shoulders?
16174Do you think he will listen to our explanation that this is a school and that the store is merely a plaything?
16174Do you think you can trust your new pilot?"
16174Do you understand?"
16174Else why should a man of the Mounted have been found before the barricade of the Bastile du Mort in company with Brute MacNair?
16174Get the trade in here-- see?
16174Gone?"
16174Good- bye--_bon voyage_----""_ Et prompt retour?_"The man''s lips smiled, and his eyes flashed the question.
16174Had Lapierre known this?
16174Had chance thrown her into the clutches of Lapierre?
16174Had he heard aright?
16174Had he left, knowing that the man''s own Indians would finish the work his bullet had only half completed?
16174Had she learned the North?
16174Has not Pierre Lapierre_ told_ you they are true?
16174Have n''t the seven hundred miles of water trail taught you_ anything_?
16174Have they not eaten since morning?"
16174Have they not suffered from their contact with you?"
16174Have you ever been there?"
16174Have you stopped to reflect that the brave Lapierre did not himself remain to stem this attack?
16174How about the shot in the night-- in the camp of the Indians, before you left for the Southward?"
16174How can I ever thank you?"
16174How could I help but doubt, when he warned me what would happen, and it all came about as he said?
16174How had MacNair known that he would be at Fort Rae?
16174How often we are right( permit the smile) in our estimate of people?
16174How will it end?
16174How_ dare_ you show your face?
16174How_ dare_ you stand there grinning?
16174I repeat that you are delightful, and honest, shall I say?
16174If Chloe Elliston could not be made to accompany him willingly, why not unwillingly?
16174If an issue is at stake, as you believe, what has sex to do with it?
16174If his storehouse has been burned, what are they going to eat?
16174If one hated the wild, rugged cliffs and the rock- tossed rapids, would one wish to lie upon a cliff with the rapids roaring, for ever and ever?
16174If the_ fact_ remains, what difference does it make whether it is_ because_ or_ despite_?
16174If they are known, why do n''t the Mounted remedy matters?
16174If you do n''t like it, why do you listen?"
16174If you fail-- well, you will join the others that have been dismissed from my service-- see?"
16174In the States we----""Why did n''t you stay in the States?"
16174Is it possible that you hope at this late day to flatter me with my own importance?"
16174Is it so extraordinary that men who are hunters should own guns?"
16174Is not the_ pil chickimin_--the gold-- worth more even than the finest of skins?
16174Is that it?
16174It is an ugly word, is n''t it?
16174Keep her thinking so; and later, when it comes to a show- down-- well, she is not only rich, but she''s in good at Ottawa-- see?"
16174Lapierre took the hand, bowed over it, and-- was it fancy, or did his lips brush her finger- tips?
16174Lapierre''s?"
16174LeFroy puts out his light every night and-- and what if there are no sounds?
16174MacNair of Snare Lake-- Bob MacNair of the barren grounds?"
16174May I ask at whose instigation this school is to be established-- and where?"
16174May I ask how you managed to bring about the downfall of the brute of the North, and at the same time win his Indians to your school?"
16174May I now proceed with the building?"
16174May I presume to ask your name?"
16174May we not go to your cottage?
16174Mebe so den you turn us loose, eh?"
16174Must you endure what I have endured to learn what I offer freely to tell you?
16174Ocular evidence of your brutal treatment of Mr. Lapierre-- and did I not see with my own eyes the destruction of your whiskey?"
16174Of course you have heard of the attack by MacNair''s Indians?"
16174Old Elk finished and, pointing eloquently in the direction of Lac du Mort, asked eagerly:"You follow de trail of Lapierre?"
16174One last_ bon voyage_?
16174Or am I dreaming now?"
16174Or was it the idle boast of an angry woman?"
16174Or would the Mounted heed the urgent appeal she despatched in care of LeFroy and arrive in time to recapture MacNair before he came upon his victim?
16174She repeated, with added emphasis,"Mr. Brute MacNair, since you have deemed it worth your while to furnish me with evidence?
16174She wondered now if possibly this thing could ever be?
16174Should she call out?
16174Show me these Indians, that I may see for myself that you have spoken the truth?"
16174So that''s it, eh?
16174So when my man com''back, he lak''me an''I got plent''to eat in de winter?"
16174Speak, ca n''t you?
16174Speak, ca n''t you?
16174Stop and think, now-- it was night and you saw all this by firelight-- are you sure the man who fired the shots was MacNair?"
16174Strange, is n''t it?
16174Suppose you educate your Indians?
16174Surely, this girl''s mind was unhinged-- or, had something gone wrong with her own brain?
16174Tell me this: Did you check your pieces upon their arrival at your storehouse?"
16174Tell me-- why did you come into the North?"
16174That devil of a Haldane?
16174That the very roots that hold it in place are rotten?
16174That they owe allegiance and servitude to no man?
16174That you intended to appeal to their better natures, to their manhood and womanhood?
16174That you refuse to help when you''re called on?"
16174That you would educate and show them they were being robbed and cheated and forced into serfdom?
16174That you would teach them that they are free?
16174The educated ones know that the government will feed and clothe them-- why should they exert themselves?
16174The officers looked interested, and Lapierre continued:"You know where Brown''s old cabin is, just this side of the Methye portage?"
16174The other scows could be run through in the morning, and, if Pierre Lapierre came, would it not be plain that Chenoine had lied?
16174They who had scoffed, and ridiculed, and forbade her?
16174To civilization?"
16174To educate the Indians-- how did she say it?
16174To protect me from my Indians?"
16174Was I dreaming?
16174Was it fancy, or did the china- blue, fishlike eyes rest for just an instant upon the porcelain cup on the table?
16174Was it possible she had heard aright?
16174Was she to return, broken on the wheel?
16174Wat den?
16174We no mak''de Clearwater de Chrees''mas Day-- eh?"
16174We tak''''long de grub, eh?"
16174What chance will you have single- handed against a whole gang of outlaws?"
16174What could_ she_ do in the refashioning of a world- old wild-- one woman against the established creeds of an iron wilderness?
16174What den?
16174What do they call you-- those whom you have forced into serfdom?"
16174What do you expect from rivermen?
16174What do you know of my viewpoint in regard to the Indians?"
16174What else did he tell you?"
16174What factor?
16174What have I got spies for-- to drag in after MacNair''s gone and tell me he''s been here?"
16174What is he thinking of?"
16174What is it all about?"
16174What is life but proof of the fitness to live?
16174What is this you have said?
16174What money?"
16174What risk?"
16174What then-- will you desert me then?
16174What then?
16174What was it the girl had told her about the man who had deceived her into believing she was his wife?
16174What was one Indian, more or less, beside the absolute integrity of his organization?
16174What was the meaning of the old factor''s whispered warning?
16174Where do their reports go?
16174Where would you go?
16174Where, now, were her dreams of empire, her ideals, and her castles in Spain?
16174Who are you?
16174Who can tell at what moment Brute MacNair may swoop down, upon us like Attila of old, and strike a fatal blow to our little outpost of civilization?
16174Who delivers the whiskey to the Indians?
16174Who has gone?"
16174Who is MacNair, that he should hold you in servitude?
16174Who is_ he_ to make laws that you shall obey?"
16174Who took the scows down the Athabasca?"
16174Who was he?
16174Who will buy it for two?"
16174Who, or what is the brute?
16174Why could n''t MacNair have been the one to have the interest of the Indians at heart?
16174Why did n''t he get down here ahead of MacNair, then?
16174Why did n''t you tell me?"
16174Why did one of my own Indians attempt to murder MacNair?
16174Why did they allow it?"
16174Why did you not go back to school at the Mission?"
16174Why do you believe me in some things and not in others?
16174Why do you refuse to profit by my experience?
16174Why had LeFroy extinguished his light?
16174Why had he come down the Yellow Knife?
16174Why not held together for their education and betterment?
16174Why scattered?
16174Why should I care for the opinion of others?
16174Why should I fight you?
16174Why should I leave the river?"
16174Why should n''t they?
16174Why should you bow down beneath his tyranny?
16174Why should you toil to enrich him?
16174Why?
16174Will you go with me, or must I go alone?"
16174Will you help me to rid the country of this scourge and free the people from his tyranny?
16174Will you tell me now where you intended to locate?"
16174Will, you tell that to the Mounted?
16174With a shudder she wondered if she would ever reach the point where she could calmly regard the killing of men as a mere incident in the day''s work?
16174Would I have left you to the mercy of those brutes?
16174Would MacNair find Lapierre, and would he kill him?
16174Would not this man prove an invaluable ally in her war of deliverance?
16174Would the other scows come on?
16174You do not know what you are saying?
16174You or I?
16174You saw MacNair kicking and knocking them about?
16174You saw MacNair''s Indians, drunk as fiends-- and the buildings all on fire?
16174You stood by and witnessed the ruination of my Indians?
16174You understand everything now?"
16174You work for him?"
16174_ ca n''t_ you_ see_?"
16174do n''t you see?
16174my people, why do you remain to toil all your lives in the mines-- to be robbed of the work of your hands?
16174piped the little woman, rushing to the girl''s side:"we need never fear him again, need we?"
16174she asked eagerly,"an''you teach me de ways of de white women, so I ai n''t jus''be Injun girl?
16174she asked,"why did you come clear to the Yellow Knife?
16174she cried;"what do you mean?
16174so that''s his game?
16174standard at actual cost?"
15502What''s money? 15502 ''A saloon, was n''t it?'' 15502 ''About what?'' 15502 ''After all that has happened? 15502 ''Alan knows he''d better always run in and see me first when he''s been away for ten days at a stretch; do n''t you, Boy?'' 15502 ''All right?'' 15502 ''Am I invited in for a cup? 15502 ''Am I shouting, my dear? 15502 ''Am I to understand that you absolutely refuse to make a fight for your own rights?'' 15502 ''And chairs? 15502 ''And he did n''t come back?'' 15502 ''And if I did?'' 15502 ''And the other?'' 15502 ''And what if I have?'' 15502 ''And you did n''t step across to take a squint at your next- door neighbour?'' 15502 ''And you have n''t told Miss Helen? 15502 ''Angela told you El Joven was here, too?'' 15502 ''Anyway, ca n''t I just come in and watch you?'' 15502 ''Are n''t we, Alan?'' 15502 ''Are n''t you rather premature in your announcement, my dear? 15502 ''Are n''t you?'' 15502 ''Are n''t you?'' 15502 ''Are we?'' 15502 ''Are we?'' 15502 ''Are you going to shuffle all the spots off? 15502 ''Are you going to tell me?'' 15502 ''Are you tired?'' 15502 ''Back again, pops?'' 15502 ''But hoping to be? 15502 ''But how about Sanchia? 15502 ''But if there were ground for it?'' 15502 ''But surely Mr. Carr, being your best friend, would not have driven you like this?'' 15502 ''But why does he hold back and thereby give one an impression of a desire on his part for secrecy? 15502 ''But you have, have n''t you? 15502 ''But,''gasped Helen,''if anything unforeseen should happen? 15502 ''Can I ever teach you, Helen, not to employ words utterly meaningless?'' 15502 ''Can they?'' 15502 ''Carr?'' 15502 ''Coming in, Longstreet?'' 15502 ''Courtot been here?'' 15502 ''Courtot has n''t got you hiding out, has he?'' 15502 ''Courtot here?'' 15502 ''Coyote?'' 15502 ''Did you ever find out for sure that it was Jim the other time?'' 15502 ''Did you glimpse the specimens before I ran out to the spring with them?'' 15502 ''Did you kill him?'' 15502 ''Do n''t I know it?'' 15502 ''Do n''t you know?'' 15502 ''Do n''t you think I am right, Al?'' 15502 ''Do that, and people always get tangled up first and then hang themselves next, do n''t they?'' 15502 ''Do you have any idea,''he hurried on,''just where your father has been prospecting lately?'' 15502 ''Do you know Jim Courtot?'' 15502 ''Do you mean,''she demanded,''that you believe all of this nonsense?'' 15502 ''Do you suppose that I care?'' 15502 ''Eh?'' 15502 ''Far?'' 15502 ''Filed on your claim yet?'' 15502 ''First thing-- Had breakfast yet?'' 15502 ''Fraid Jim''ll be hiding out waiting to pot you?'' 15502 ''Funny my mare''s name should be Helen, too, is n''t it?'' 15502 ''Further, is your father such a man that no woman could care for him?'' 15502 ''Gone on back?'' 15502 ''Gone?'' 15502 ''Got any hay?'' 15502 ''Has he shown any interest in a flat- topped hill about three miles back? 15502 ''Has the world turned into a terribly serious place all of a sudden?'' 15502 ''Have you felt in all your pockets? 15502 ''Have you? 15502 ''He is n''t here, then?'' 15502 ''He understands that you wish to keep your secret from Helen?'' 15502 ''He was at your place last night, was n''t he? 15502 ''He''s drinking now, then?'' 15502 ''Helen,''he expostulated,''where did you get such ideas?'' 15502 ''Help?'' 15502 ''Here?'' 15502 ''How about Sanchia Murray? 15502 ''How about it, Helen?'' 15502 ''How could I eat or rest or sleep?'' 15502 ''How did you know?'' 15502 ''How do you know?'' 15502 ''How do you like our part of the world?'' 15502 ''How far?'' 15502 ''How in the world do you know?'' 15502 ''How many people have you told about it already? 15502 ''How shall I say all that I feel here?'' 15502 ''How the hell do I know?'' 15502 ''I can hardly leave her out here alone, can I?'' 15502 ''I do n''t believe you did say anything about it, did you?'' 15502 ''I said_ Quià © n sabe_?"
15502''If I lost everything I had-- and I could not lose everything since I would go on loving you-- would that make any difference, Helen?''
15502''If Sanchia saw, too?''
15502''If a real blow come on and the wind got inside-- Say, Tod, how about a few guy ropes?
15502''If one of them were Jim Courtot-- would you want him to die?''
15502''If there really is gold here we can see it better with all the loose dirt off, ca n''t we?''
15502''If you and Courtot meet, what will happen?
15502''If you do n''t mind, Helen dear?''
15502''If you were merely jesting, as I supposed----''''But was I?''
15502''Is n''t he the most adorable lover in the world?
15502''Is n''t it, John?''
15502''Is that you, papa?''
15502''Is there any reason why a pretty woman should not fall in love?''
15502''It does begin to look as though she gave me the-- the double cross, does n''t it?''
15502''Jim Courtot, Al?''
15502''John?''
15502''Laugh at me, will you?
15502''Look here, Helen,''as she started on before him to the thicket of willows,''are n''t you the least little bit glad to see me?''
15502''Look here, Helen,''he said after his outright style,''what''s the matter?
15502''May I come in, too?''
15502''Met up with Jim Courtot the other night, I hear?''
15502''Mine, of course?''
15502''Miss Helen will go with us?''
15502''Miss Longstreet,''called Howard, stopping and turning,''would n''t you like to swing up on Sanchia?
15502''Monte Devine?''
15502''Monte dead?''
15502''My darling,''said Longstreet hurriedly,''what do you mean?''
15502''No more?''
15502''Now what''s happened between him and John Carr?''
15502''Now who the hell did that for me?''
15502''Or hungry?
15502''Or,''put in a chuckling voice from the shadows,''a girl, huh?
15502''Packing, my dear?
15502''Papa, if you have stumbled on a real gold mine at last, are n''t you wise enough this time to keep still about it?''
15502''Papa,''Helen was saying at her first opportunity,''where has Mr. Howard been?''
15502''Papa,''said Helen after the stern fashion which in time comes natural to the girl with a wayward father,''what are you two up to?''
15502''Papa,''she cried,''ca n''t you see, ca n''t you understand that this woman is determined to make a fool of you again?
15502''Please, can I play in your game?''
15502''Recognize the picture, Al?
15502''Roberts, the teamster, has gone, I suppose?''
15502''Sanchia?''
15502''Seen tracks like that before?''
15502''Sell me enough to take care of my cows?
15502''Shall we accept further of this gentleman''s kindness?''
15502''She even eats with you?''
15502''So he was here?
15502''So you''re back, are you?''
15502''So you''ve heard that Courtot stuff, too?
15502''Some night, ai n''t it?''
15502''Somebody dead?''
15502''Spanish for"Who knows?"
15502''Strange?''
15502''Suppose I were not satisfied?
15502''Suppose I were sorry?''
15502''Suppose you spell''em out, professor; what do you make of them?''
15502''Sure it''s all right?''
15502''Surely not so soon?
15502''Table?''
15502''Take your time, ca n''t you?''
15502''Talking to me?''
15502''Telegram?''
15502''Ten thousand this trip, was n''t it?''
15502''That I am glad?
15502''That would be right over yonder?
15502''That you, Monte?''
15502''Then,''said Helen, resorting to argument,''where did that fire come from?
15502''There is a vacancy, then?''
15502''They spelled hurry, did n''t they?
15502''Three or four days?
15502''Tired, Helen?''
15502''Trespassing?
15502''Unless we both went out, and then what difference?
15502''Was n''t that the amount due now?''
15502''Water?''
15502''Well, Bettins?''
15502''Well?''
15502''Well?''
15502''Well?''
15502''Well?''
15502''What about you?
15502''What are you going to do?
15502''What are you talking about?''
15502''What business is it of yours?''
15502''What can I do?''
15502''What did you tell her?''
15502''What do I know about it?
15502''What do you mean?''
15502''What do you mean?''
15502''What do you mean?''
15502''What do you mean?''
15502''What do you mean?''
15502''What do_ you_ mean?''
15502''What has happened?''
15502''What has she that I have n''t?
15502''What have I done, anyway?''
15502''What have you to say?''
15502''What if you did?''
15502''What in hell''s name do you mean by steering Longstreet into a mess like this?''
15502''What in the world has happened in there?''
15502''What in the world has happened?''
15502''What is her name?''
15502''What is it?''
15502''What is it?''
15502''What is it?''
15502''What is it?''
15502''What makes him so dead certain he can nail his Golconda out here?
15502''What makes you ask that?''
15502''What makes you say that?''
15502''What makes you think some one made camp there?''
15502''What man, Jeem Cour''?''
15502''What sort of things?
15502''What though I have never been here until this second?''
15502''What time did you get here?''
15502''What was she doing here?''
15502''What would you say to going back East if I showed you the chance there to clean up more money than you''ll ever see out here?
15502''What you do,_ señor_?''
15502''What''s all that?''
15502''What''s in the wind?''
15502''What''s the excitement, boys?''
15502''What''s there?''
15502''When?''
15502''Where are the Longstreets, Barbee?''
15502''Where are you going?''
15502''Where did Jim go?''
15502''Where have the Longstreets gone?''
15502''Where on earth did you get that sort of talk?''
15502''Where would you expect to find a camp- fire if not near a spring?''
15502''Where''s Carr?''
15502''Where''s Courtot, Yates?''
15502''Where''ve you been all this long time, Courtot?''
15502''Where?''
15502''Where?''
15502''Who done that for you, Al?''
15502''Who found it?''
15502''Who is El Joven?''
15502''Who is it?''
15502''Who is she?''
15502''Who knows but there is some foundation for them?''
15502''Who was the man?''
15502''Who''ll make it four- cornered?''
15502''Who''s Longstreet?''
15502''Who?''
15502''Who?''
15502''Why are you going like this?''
15502''Why do n''t I?''
15502''Why do n''t you go get him, Al?''
15502''Why do you ask that?''
15502''Why should n''t I?
15502''Will you tell us?''
15502''Will you wait here?
15502''Wo n''t you believe me, Helen?
15502''Wo n''t you let me have a word with you?''
15502''Wo n''t you, please?''
15502''Wo n''t you?
15502''You and Jim sure play a great little game of tag, do n''t you?''
15502''You are Mr. Bates, are n''t you?''
15502''You are going East, John?''
15502''You are sure?
15502''You did n''t see him?''
15502''You did n''t tell Sanchia?''
15502''You do n''t mean, John,''said Alan, a trifle uncertainly,''that you are sorry you let go?
15502''You feel that way about it, too?''
15502''You frien''s Señor Alan?''
15502''You would not have me run from him, Helen?
15502''You''d do that for me, Al?''
15502''You''ll begin work soon?''
15502''You-- you raise me?''
15502''Your little summer house by the spring may be sacred ground?''
15502''_ Helen_?''
15502--he spoke more impetuously than Helen had thought the man could--''but I never went back on a play yet, did I?
15502A dozen?''
15502A gold mine for a birthday present is n''t bad, is it?''
15502A lure that beckoned?
15502A menace that drove?
15502About half a mile from here?
15502About the making of the earth and the minerals of the earth?
15502Ai n''t that what you said, Sandy?''
15502Alan Howard''s sudden call:''Can I come in now, folks?''
15502Am I right?''
15502Am I seeking the housetops?''
15502Am I wanted?''
15502Among such a seething crowd where should he ask of the Longstreets?
15502And even Helen---- You wo n''t mention me at all, will you?''
15502And had he not already twice in twenty- four hours shown how clearly his thought and his heart were with his friend?
15502And he began wondering if now John Carr were sitting with Helen and her father in front of their little home?
15502And now tell me, will you, what I''ve done?''
15502And still without turning, he demanded,''Ready to go, Monte?''
15502And then,''Just what''s worrying you, Johnnie?''
15502And then,''Papa, do you know if he has had trouble with anyone lately?''
15502And to Carr:''He came with you, John?''
15502And what do you think he discovered?
15502And when Barbee greeted him without enthusiasm, he asked:''What''s happened to the town?''
15502And when Helen, hesitating briefly, said''Yes,''Angela asked:''You come from Santa Rita,_ no_?''
15502And when he demanded''Eh?''
15502And wo n''t you let me help you?''
15502And you, True?''
15502And, if his lucky star should lead him aright again, is he the man to cash in on his luck?
15502And, pray, with what intention?''
15502And, say, wo n''t the town know about us?''
15502Animals can smell it, ca n''t they?''
15502Any objection if I kick in?''
15502Are there, flowing about us, weird, supernatural influences as potent and intangible as electric currents?''
15502Are they working together again?''
15502Are we trespassing, pray?''
15502Are you coming over?''
15502Barbee slumped on without turning, but growled over his shoulder:''Ca n''t you leave a man alone?''
15502Bates?''
15502But Howard, wondering, demanded:''What was it you found on the rock, Sandy?''
15502But before they left the stable he offered carelessly:''What do you think of the professor, Barbee?''
15502But behind his words were troops of confused thoughts; Carr was going East, and had said nothing to him; if Carr left, what then of Helen?
15502But now?
15502But seeing the various expressions called by his words to the faces about the table, he added the challenge:''Why should I go?
15502But what does either of us know of the nightly custom of dead Indians and Indian gods?''
15502But when she asked directly,''What would happen if you did meet?''
15502But, may I ask just why you speak of it as your part of the world rather than ours?
15502But,''and he snapped the rubber band about his book and dropped it into his pocket,''what''s the odds?
15502Ca n''t I help you?''
15502Ca n''t you just tell that he thinks he has a secret?
15502Calling her Helen, understand?''
15502Can you imagine him in a perfectly towering rage?''
15502Carr?''
15502Carr?''
15502Catching her first glimpse of Longstreet, who came to his daughter''s door, she demanded:''Your papa?''
15502Did n''t Carr have a man''s right to ride where he chose?
15502Did n''t I say it was as simple as A B C to find gold here?
15502Did n''t he know more than any other man living about geology?
15502Did n''t they shout into your ears that he was on the lively scamper for some otherwhere?''
15502Do n''t it just suit her?"
15502Do n''t you remember how the sheriff came to San Juan just before we left?
15502Do n''t you see, Helen, that James Edward Longstreet in this man''s land is a fish out of water?''
15502Do you want me to go?
15502For your sake and for the sake of your wonderful daughter, am I not to be genuinely glad?''
15502Going to see them?''
15502Going with me, ai n''t you?''
15502Had not Carr once already ridden far out of his way to warn him?
15502Had the enmity of the two men, Howard and Courtot, begun over Sanchia Murray?
15502Harkness''s assistant?''
15502Has n''t she done it once already?
15502Have n''t I already demonstrated that I know what I am doing?
15502Have n''t I demonstrated the infallibility of my line of action?
15502Having been right in everything else, am I to be mistaken in the matter of its minerals?
15502He called softly:''Are n''t you coming out, Helen?''
15502He had to wait to the end of the rushing words to correct her:''I meant, what made you say that I had found it?''
15502He says,"Sandy, what way was them tracks pointed?"
15502He wondered if she, too, had thought of this?
15502Her father came up with her and demanded:''What is it?
15502His eyes were for Barbee as he said quietly:''Just a little game for fun?
15502How about it, Monte?''
15502How would an early ride suit you?
15502Howard nodded at him, saying a pleasant''_ Quà © hay, Juanito_?''
15502Howard?''
15502Howard?''
15502Huh?''
15502I am not to suppose, am I, that you actually give any credence to tales of supernatural influences manifested hereabouts?''
15502I was going to ask if you would explain certain parts of it to me?''
15502If there is anything I can do for you?''
15502If they had died, then what?''
15502If you want to teach---- Well, we''ve got schools out here, have n''t we?''
15502If-- if he should die?
15502If----''''In any case there would be one of us left, would n''t there?''
15502In Dry Gulch?''
15502In whose house?
15502Is n''t he wonderful?''
15502Is n''t it interesting?''
15502Is n''t it pretty here?''
15502Is n''t this the place for me?''
15502It begins to look as though papa knew, does n''t it?''
15502It has been a day, has n''t it?
15502It is only a gold mine, and have n''t I told you all the time that for me there is no difficulty in locating gold?
15502Jim got one of the two of them, did n''t he?
15502Just what had he done?
15502Just what had he done?
15502Kish Taka and his dog?
15502Know him?''
15502Know which way he has gone?''
15502Know who?''
15502Last night I thought he was going to break and run for cover at a little sound no man would pay any attention to,''''What kind of a sound?''
15502Little old game, name of stud horse?''
15502Mind saying how much cash you got, Doran?''
15502Murray?
15502Murray?''
15502Murray?''
15502Murray?''
15502Murray?''
15502Nice girl, no?''
15502Not in the dribbles, but such a mine as never a miner drove a pick into yet?''
15502Not married yet, are you?''
15502Now what?''
15502Now, supposing that he had led Sanchia to think that his mine was over yonder on that other hill?
15502Oh, are you going to be just a little baby in her hands?''
15502Oh, had n''t he noticed before?
15502Or Carr?''
15502Or shall I mosey on?
15502Or will you ask her to go?''
15502Or you?
15502Or-- what do you think, papa?''
15502Other side of Big Run?''
15502Outside Carr had demanded,''What in hell''s name made you bring that woman here?''
15502Packing what?
15502Papa,''and she squeezed his arm,''wo n''t you ever learn that with that face of yours you could n''t hide what you are thinking to save your life?''
15502Presently he raised his voice to inquire anxiously:''Hurt much, Monte?
15502Right enough, too, do n''t you think, professor?''
15502Run over me?''
15502Sanchia said sharply:''You must have been unusually successful in your latest deal?''
15502Scare one up for me to ride back to the ranch, will you?''
15502Seen the Longstreets lately?''
15502Shall we see who it is?''
15502She looked steadily at him as she said evenly:''So her name is Sanchia?''
15502She smiled upon him brightly as she concluded with a semblance of trustfulness and artlessness:''Tell me the truth; have n''t you found it?''
15502She turned to him, asking eagerly,''Could I learn?''
15502She was named after somebody, I suppose?''
15502She was wondering if Jim Courtot really were a man- killer?
15502She went to sleep struggling with the ancient problem:''Do the dead return?
15502She wondered for the first time if there were a young Mrs. Howard awaiting him?
15502Should n''t he, Mr. Carr?
15502Should they have held by Sanchia?
15502So there was something, then, that he had done to offend her?
15502Some day he must meet Jim Courtot; might not that time have arrived?
15502Suit you all right here for a camp?''
15502Take the trail by----''''Papa,''said Helen hastily and a trifle impatiently,''ca n''t you ever learn, even after you have been bitten?
15502That''s fair enough, is n''t it?
15502That''s going a few, ai n''t it?''
15502The lunch counter girl, following him with critical eyes, demanded for him or anyone else to hear:''Who''s your bean- pole friend, Kid?''
15502The mare looked gentle despite her high life; Helen wondered if Alan Howard had thought of offering her his mount?
15502The new University man named him an old fogy, did he?
15502Then Helen asked steadily:''Is there no way out for you and Jim Courtot but the way of violence?''
15502Then he demanded:''Just an option?
15502Then he turned square about in his chair again and snapped out:''Deal, ca n''t you?''
15502Then what?
15502Then, a hint of a jeer in his voice,''Going to stay out there in the dark all night?
15502Then, in a faint, quiet little voice:''Maybe I am asking too much?''
15502Then, with the naïvetà © of a child:''Him your frien''?''
15502Those birds do n''t go chasing around on a day like this just to get sunburn, do they?''
15502Turn your back on me, will you?''
15502Want to see?''
15502Was Kish Taka still unsleeping, patient, relentless on Courtot''s trail?
15502Was Mr. Howard the man who had lighted the other fire?
15502Was it any trick to find gold?
15502Was it something that drove and harassed?
15502Was it something that lured and beckoned?
15502Was n''t it rather strange, she wanted to know, and even somewhat absurd that a man should go about armed like that?
15502Was she to get an explanation of last night''s puzzle?
15502Was there any reason in the wide world why Carr should not this time send Barbee and himself ride on wherever it suited him to go?
15502Were they right?
15502Were they wrong?
15502What did mere gold amount to, anyway?
15502What do you figure to do?''
15502What do you imagine brought him?
15502What do you take me for, anyway?''
15502What had taken Jim Courtot into that country?
15502What had the one to do with the other?
15502What have I done?''
15502What is it, father?''
15502What more could one do?
15502What of it?''
15502What then?
15502What was it that urged him?
15502What were his reasons for secrecy, after all?
15502What''s going to hurt them?''
15502What''s happened?''
15502What''s it all about?''
15502What''s the good wind blowing you over this way already?''
15502What''s wrong?''
15502When Howard was silent, the boy went on lightly and perhaps a hint maliciously:''Get me?
15502When do you think he will make another discovery?
15502When they came to the corner and he asked''Which way?''
15502When they come right down to the matter of giving names,''he added gravely,''how is a man to go any further than just say,"_ Quià © n sabe_?"''
15502Where did they go?''
15502Where else could a man go?
15502Where is Helen, by the way?''
15502Where is he?''
15502Where there is a lot of red dirt?
15502Where were you?
15502Where you been keeping yourself?''
15502Where''s Al?''
15502Where?''
15502While he cut the end off a fresh cigar, he suggested:''How about the horses?
15502Who knows but that he may make his ten- strike here after all?
15502Who made it?
15502Who said Mrs. Murray?
15502Who wants money?
15502Who will know?''
15502Why a coyote when his prey shunned these wastes?
15502Why did he not lay a fierce hand upon the wind that danced over the hills?
15502Why did n''t she move into a tent near them?
15502Why did not Kish Taka, the eternally vigilant, come up with his prey?
15502Why do you say that?''
15502Why does he not come forward and make himself known?
15502Why even the winged scavenger when all animal life fled the Bad Lands?
15502Why has he disappeared like this?''
15502Why should a rabbit come hither where there was no herbage?
15502Why should he not?
15502Why should n''t I be?
15502Why should n''t every one be glad?
15502With his eyes still shut, the Indian spoke again:''You_ sabe_ other water- hole?''
15502Wolf?
15502You are Mrs. Murray?
15502You do not want me to turn coward like that?''
15502You say, Mr. Longstreet, that you filed on your claim all right?''
15502You think that I named it after her?''
15502You would n''t want them to die, would you?''
15502You''ll be on the porch when I come back?''
15502_ Quià © n sabe_, huh?''
15502and Alan had rejoined,''I could n''t stop her coming, could I?''
15502are n''t they?''
15502he explained,''that when in Rome one should learn from the Romans?''
2063''J you tell''i m you MADE me drink it?
2063''Z that a bumb?
2063Ah- h-- I know yuh think I do n''t? 2063 Ai n''t you the guy that was brought in with that Black Butte bunch of moonshiners and got off on account of a nice wife and an L. A. alibi?
2063An''what would I be doin'', you poor nut? 2063 And contents?"
2063And did n''t you get any line at all on his whereabouts?
2063And he turned the whole outfit over to you for sixteen hundred dollars or so?
2063And where, Mr. Nolan, do I git the booze to peddle?
2063And who followed you then?
2063Anybody got a cigarette? 2063 Are you Casey Ryan?"
2063Are you Casey Ryan?
2063Aw, ca n''t yuh find some way to leave me jack enough to buy gas and grub?
2063B''lieve it? 2063 Bill Masters?
2063Brings the price of moonshine up a bit, does n''t it?
2063But Pap an''Hank, they''re drunk, see? 2063 Ca n''t we eat together?"
2063Can yuh feel the kick''to it?
2063Casey Ryan, are those the best pair of shoes you own?
2063Did he clean yuh out?
2063Did you bring any hootch?
2063Did yuh send Casey Ryan after hootch, or was it mebby spuds er somethin''?
2063Does it matter? 2063 Ever drill in rock?"
2063Found that out, did yuh? 2063 Friend uh yours?"
2063Get the car fixed all right?
2063Got a bill of sale?
2063Got any booze in that car?
2063Had your supper?
2063Having trouble with your car?
2063He wo n''t, hey?
2063He''s a dinger, ai n''t he?
2063How come Smilin''Lou overlooked cleanin''yuh of your roll when he took mine, do yuh think? 2063 How much did he get off''n YOU?"
2063How much liquor you got aboard to- night?
2063How?
2063I was hurryin'', was n''t I?
2063Is she here?
2063Know a man name of Kenner?
2063Meaning that you''d refuse to help me round up bootleggers and the officers that protect them?

2063The sheriff?

2063Two of us waitin''to see your boss, huh?
2063Whadda yuh think you''re doin'', anyway? 2063 What about your mother?"
2063What all have you got?

2063What if I ai n''t got any?
2063What kind uh hold- up game YOU playin'', Mr. Nolan? 2063 What luck, Ryan?
2063What sort of looking fellows were those, Ryan, that left a load of booze on your hands?
2063What the deuce had you done to him, Ryan?
2063What yuh figurin''on doin''?
2063What''r yuh tryin''to pull on me now?
2063What''s YOUR name?

2063Where''d you get this car?
2063Where''s that there Joshuay tree pointin''to?
2063Where''s the piece you found?
2063Where''s y''r White Mule? 2063 Who said anything about any fellers leavin''me booze?"
2063Who says I''m in? 2063 Who wants to know?"
2063Who''s all this you''re going to trail till your tongue hangs down to your knees? 2063 Who''s your friend?"
2063Why do you persist in making trouble for yourself?
2063Why wait? 2063 Will yuh pack it in, Mr. Nolan, whilst I back the car in the shed, or shall I bring it when I come?
2063Yeah?
2063Yeah?
2063You could have explained to the sheriff, could n''t you, your reason for having booze in the car?
2063You never did see me in town duds, did you, Casey?
2063Yuh peddlin''it, er makin''it?
2063Yuh-- WHAT?
2063Ai n''t he had trouble enough tryin''to keep outa trouble?
2063Ai n''t it natural a man''d want to know who''d shot his two burros-- an''''is pardner?"
2063Ai n''t that right?
2063Ai n''t that right?
2063Ai n''t that right?"
2063Ai n''t that right?"
2063Ai n''t that the real hootch?"
2063And how the hell, Casey would like to know, was a man going to explain himself when he could n''t get a word in edgeways?
2063And the champagne-- forty pints, you say?
2063And where, he asked defiantly, was the gratitude in that?
2063Are yuh or ai n''t yuh huntin''mules?"
2063Brung a cor''ner, did yuh?
2063But ca n''t you leave her be till we''re ready to start?

2063Do n''t I git paid fer my gas?"
2063Do n''t blame me much for bumming a breakfast, do you?"
2063Do n''t the cops bother folks none?"
2063Do n''t you know your pardner, BARNEY OAKES?
2063Do you know--?
2063Do you really want me to believe that you''re coming back on the next train?"
2063Do you see what I mean?
2063Do you think he''s in jail, or just sulking at a movie somewhere?"
2063Do you?"
2063Does Kenner, here, know you hit the hootch pretty strong at times?
2063Ever hear a sawmill workin''overtime?
2063Gittin''the best of yuh, ai n''t it?
2063Go squeal to the law-- an''what would it get yuh?
2063Going to need any help?"
2063Got any jack on yuh?"

2063He had once had a home, a wife and a fortune, he declared, and what had happened?
2063He knows you, do n''t he?"
2063How Is that for guesswork?"
2063How did he know that Mack Nolan was n''t another bootlegger, wanting to rope Casey in on a job for some fell purpose of his own?
2063How much is your load?"
2063How soon you going to crank up?"
2063How''d yuh like it?"
2063How''ll that be?"
2063If you''re careful in picking your men, you could locate some hootch, could n''t you, without attracting attention?"
2063Is she sick abed?"
2063Is-- can I do anything for yuh, ma''am?"
2063Know Bill?"
2063Know where to go in the city?
2063Locked in a cell, how was he going to do any of the things Nolan had told him to do if he happened to find himself arrested by an honest officer?
2063Made that same play to you, did n''t he-- about givin''yourself up in the morning?
2063Nolan?"
2063Nolan?"
2063Notice how this one changed''er mind about gettin''you tagged, soon as Casey Ryan took''er by the nose?"
2063Now what do you know about that, Mr. Nolan?
2063Now which are yuh, and what yuh goin''t''do?
2063Outa all them hundreds uh people, why''n hell did yuh have to go an''pick on Casey Ryan?

2063See that sign?"
2063Set here meek till yuh tell me to git out an''take a lickin''?
2063So you think that over, Casey-- an''drive purty, see?"
2063The voices of Paw and Hank came closer and clarified into words; or did Casey and Joe walk farther and come into their presence?
2063Think a dab of paint is going to cover up a brand burnt into the wood?"
2063Think you can manage that all right?"
2063Think- I- can''t?"
2063Told yuh, did n''t I?
2063Tryin''t''elope?"
2063Tryin''to write your name in the air with it?"
2063Trying to outdig a badger?"

2063Where''s that piece of change, Kenner?"
2063Where''s your pardner?"
2063Who''d, they think''s runnin''the place?
2063Why could n''t you a stood back a piece, outa reach?
2063Why did n''t he pick some sucker on the outside?
2063Why did n''t yuh pick some one else for the goat?
2063Why, is he the fellow who stepped out from under this load of hootch?
2063Why, you did n''t think for one minute, did yuh, that I was takin''any chance with you?
2063Would you like to do that?"
2063You got no call t''kick-- didn''t I go swipe this bottle uh booze for yuh t''sober up on, soon as the boss''s back was turned?
2063You must be new at the business, ai n''t yuh?"

18916A professional reader of fortunes? 18916 A song first, Twisty?"
18916A year?
18916Alone?
18916Am I mad?
18916Am I responsible for all wandering damsels in distress?
18916Am I?
18916Amused?
18916And Barlow?
18916And Rios? 18916 And Zoraida?"
18916And do these six look as though they had come here recently from the outside world?
18916And if you did believe, it would be just the same?
18916And if,suggested Betty,"the_ Half Moon_ is n''t there?
18916And more,remarked Kendric drily,"she hankers for the loot herself?"
18916And my answer?
18916And suppose you mind yours?
18916And the American girl? 18916 And what are you doing with her?"
18916And what if I altered?
18916And why?
18916And you mean that they have never gone out from here?
18916And you promised her-- just what?
18916And you think I might be slittin''throats for them? 18916 And you will make me, perhaps?
18916And you would like to take with you the pretty little Betty?
18916And you''ve let her stuff you hide- full of lies?
18916And you?
18916Another underground garden?
18916Answer: If you sent an Indian, how much would you bet that he did not circle back to the Montezuma ranch with the letter? 18916 Are you beginning to see that Zoraida Castelmar is a girl to reckon with?
18916Are you mad?
18916Bluff? 18916 Bulgin''full?
18916But if I went away,he asked,"and talked?"
18916But until he''s under way there''s no tale to tell and so what''s the use of talk? 18916 But when they are dead?
18916But,exclaimed Betty,"can we lift it again from below?"
18916Ca n''t I tell real pearls like them, when I see''em?
18916Ca n''t you see, Jim?
18916Come to you? 18916 Did I not tell you when first we spoke together that I had use for you?
18916Did you bluff, after all?
18916Did you light it?
18916Did you see anything?
18916Did you smuggle Zoraida Castelmar on board?
18916Do n''t I know? 18916 Do n''t I tell you there is no sense startin''a rumpus?
18916Do you suppose they''re going that strong, Jim?
18916Do you think you can frighten me?
18916Do you think-- they are dead?
18916Does n''t trust him; can you blame her? 18916 Fishy enough, by the sound of it, is n''t it?"
18916From which I gather you do n''t put a whole lot of confidence in your cowboys?
18916Get it now?
18916Good God, do you mean to let this go on?
18916Had you won,said Zoraida sweetly,"what then, Señor Bruce?
18916Has Barlow breakfasted yet?
18916Has Escobar been near her?
18916Have I not chosen well?
18916Have I twenty thousand_ pesos_ in my pocket?
18916Have n''t I heard her explanations? 18916 Have n''t I seen her terror?
18916Have n''t I talked with Zoraida?
18916Have n''t I talked with her?
18916Have you the money in the house?
18916His outfit lies close in to these diggings; wonder if he has any American boys working for him? 18916 How am I to know who is a friend?"
18916How do you_ know_?
18916How''d_ you_ know?
18916I do not know if you care to play? 18916 I think he will wait, do n''t you?"
18916I thought you said,said Kendric,"that since your father''s death no man had entered here?"
18916I was forgetting, losing all clear thought because a man had dismissed me from his presence? 18916 I wonder what''s ahead of us?
18916I''ve called you a fair man; wo n''t you open your mind to the truth? 18916 I?"
18916If this is all you have to say,answered Kendric,"suppose you shut the door from the outside?"
18916If you will pardon me a moment, señor?
18916Is the stake high enough for your play?
18916Is there only one white horse in Mexico? 18916 It is called the Rancho Montezuma, is n''t it?"
18916It would n''t make you mad to fill your pockets, Headlong, would it?
18916Know what barratry is, do n''t you?
18916Maybe they did n''t finish it?
18916Mr. West, what do you mean? 18916 No sign of anyone on our trail?"
18916No visitors?
18916Not in bed yet, my friend?
18916Now what follows?
18916Of what are you thinking?
18916On what errand?
18916One die, one throw for it all, Señor Kendric?
18916One die, one throw, ace high?
18916One hand of cards?
18916One throw for the whole thing, Ortega?
18916One throw?
18916Or appears to be?
18916Or shall I call for a dozen men to escort you?
18916Or shall I have him carried along by my men?
18916Or shall I smash it off its hinges?
18916Or the outside world?
18916Ready?
18916Rios has been talking revolution to you, has he? 18916 Rios?"
18916Ruiz Rios?
18916Señor Jim does not care to play?
18916Shall we go back?
18916She could n''t get across with a claim like that, could she? 18916 She would_ what_?"
18916So that''s the story?
18916So you are interested? 18916 So you want facts?
18916So you''re on the job, are you?
18916Suppose it was?
18916Tell me: Did you somehow get aboard the_ New Moon_ at San Diego? 18916 That I was Zoraida''s lover?"
18916That you, Twisty?
18916That you?
18916The cat or the canary?
18916Then are you not Señores Kendric and Barlow?
18916Then not even all this,and with a quick gesture she indicated all of the wealth that surrounded him,"can move you?
18916Then tell me how the devil it came about that Zoraida showed up at your place? 18916 They are captives and caretakers of a sort?"
18916They could starve a man, poison his rolls or bore a bullet into him while he slept, and who outside to know about it?
18916They''re going it that strong? 18916 They?"
18916Treasure, you mean?
18916Twisty,he said,"do you know who shot you?"
18916Unless my check will satisfy?
18916Waiting for Jim, maybe?
18916Was it Zoraida Castelmar?
18916Well, señor?
18916Well?
18916Well?
18916Well?
18916What about?
18916What business is it of yours, my friend?
18916What comes after all that, Queen Zoraida?
18916What did you see? 18916 What do we want with treasure?
18916What do you know of it? 18916 What do you know of your neighbors?"
18916What do you mean by that?
18916What do you mean by that?
18916What do you mean?
18916What do you want here?
18916What do you want me to do?
18916What do you want with the boy, Zoraida? 18916 What does she look like, Jim?"
18916What else did she tell you?
18916What else?
18916What for?
18916What have you to say to me?
18916What is it?
18916What is it?
18916What is it?
18916What is your name?
18916What made you say that?
18916What makes you say that, Ben?
18916What more? 18916 What of it?
18916What of my friend?
18916What say you, my guests, to Zoraida''s wine?
18916What was it, Twisty?
18916What will he think?
18916What would I be wantin''that steamer in San Diego Bay for if I did n''t know?
18916What''s all this nonsense about?
18916What''s on your mind, Seafarer?
18916What''s she close- herding him for?
18916What''s the game, gentlemen?
18916What''s the game?
18916What''s the hurry?
18916What''s the play, man?
18916What''s the sense of this monkey business?
18916What''s the story?
18916Where away, then, in such a hurry?
18916Where do you ride so early?
18916Where is she?
18916Where is the money you would wager against mine?
18916Where the devil have your wits gone? 18916 Where''s the luck in that throw?"
18916Where?
18916Who is it that speaks of what shall be done with that which rightfully is Zoraida''s?
18916Who is that girl?
18916Who knows?
18916Who sent it?
18916Who the blazes is Zoraida Castelmar?
18916Who told you all that?
18916Who told you all you know?
18916Who told you that?
18916Who''s there?
18916Why all the war paint, Baby Blue- eyes?
18916Why are you so unlike other men?
18916Why not? 18916 Why that name, Rios?"
18916Will it be you?
18916Will you come for a moment to the main cabin?
18916Will you come listen to me then?
18916Will you come to the_ patio_ with me, señorita?
18916Will you come, Señorita Pansy?
18916Will you enter as a guest?
18916Will you have the door unlocked?
18916Will you play?
18916Will_ el señor Americano_ be so kind as to follow?
18916Will_ el señor_ Jim come with me?
18916Witch, are you?
18916Word of honor?
18916Would they thrust their heads through solid rock? 18916 Would you play for such a stake as never men played for before?
18916Yes?
18916Yes?
18916You appear to be sure that there is treasure?
18916You are Señor Kendric,_ no_? 18916 You blame me for that?"
18916You do n''t know the lady, then?
18916You have had me brought here for some purpose?
18916You have her?
18916You know what it is then?
18916You mean Ruiz Rios?
18916You mean it all goes to the man who wins? 18916 You mean that Betty Gordon here is some sort of an adventuress?"
18916You mean that my going would be interfered with?
18916You mean that the postmaster would be on the watch for it? 18916 You mean those pearls might be fake?"
18916You mean you would want proof?
18916You mean,went on Kendric stubbornly,"your''Queen Lady''as you call her, has instructed her rabble to bring us in, willy- nilly?"
18916You think that it was made as a hand- hole? 18916 You think that you-- that any man-- could do that?"
18916You think that, having made mock of me, you shall turn to her? 18916 You threaten my life?"
18916You will follow me, señor?
18916You wo n''t go far?
18916You would n''t want us to skip out tonight without even having looked into it, would you?
18916You yourself do not play?
18916You''d be meaning the Mexican lady? 18916 You''ll go?"
18916You''re doing well enough as it is, are n''t you?
18916You''re not afraid, then?
18916You''ve got in mind what she said outside?
18916You''ve just left Rios?
18916Your name would be Kendric?
18916_ Am_ I?
18916_ Qué hay, amigos_?
18916_ You_?
18916A flower?
18916A girl, rather; a girl with a mind of her own and a sorching[ Transcriber''s note: scorching?]
18916A letter in the nearest postoffice?"
18916A message that was a passport for me; what other significance it carried,_ quién sabe_?
18916A_ portion_, mark you?
18916Ai n''t I heered all the happenin''s dat''s done been an''gone an''transcribed on dis here deck?
18916Ai n''t I_ felt_ nothin''?
18916Ai n''t I_ seen_ nothin''?
18916Am I the man to take a bullet from another and then go chin with him?"
18916Am I to disrobe in a man''s presence?"
18916And Escobar?"
18916And for answer to the question:"Where''s the Old Man?
18916And further-- further----""Further?"
18916And have n''t we got enough ahead of us without goin''out of our way, lookin''for a row?"
18916And it did n''t read fishy to Juarez and it did n''t to Fernando Escobar, else why the six inches of knife?"
18916And only one whistle?
18916And only one white plume?
18916And so for Zoraida''s sake should the words be carried to her, he cried as though in high amusement:"Love?
18916And suddenly whirling wrathfully on Zoraida:"Where do they come from?
18916And that ruby; did you see it?
18916And the price?"
18916And then, in pure jest,"Like Escobar''s captive?"
18916And then, looking in vain for another member of the party:"Where''s Cap''n Barlow?"
18916And then,"You do n''t want me to see her?
18916And where was Betty?
18916And where would you find a more likely queen?"
18916And who the devil sent you and me down this way to preach righteousness?
18916And who, my friend, is sane?
18916And why not?
18916And why on you?
18916And why?
18916And would play into her hands?
18916And you do n''t play?"
18916And you will come to me, wo n''t you?"
18916And you would n''t mind a scrap or two and a blow or two in the job, would you?"
18916And you-- you----""Well?
18916And, before Barlow answered,"You saw her then?"
18916And, if we get our hooks on the loot that brought us down here, why should we want to mix it with the federal government?"
18916And, to complete the introductions, would you mind telling us who you are?"
18916Are n''t you afraid of what you are building up for yourself?
18916Are there other questions, señor?"
18916Are you growing impatient?"
18916Are you man, Jim Kendric, or a mechanical thing of levers and springs set into a man''s form?"
18916As for this''guest''business, just what do you mean?"
18916As he had asked himself countless times already so now did he put the question again:"How could a man feel a thing like that?"
18916At his age was he developing nerves and insane fancies?
18916Before Rios followed him Kendric called:"Where is Miss Gordon?"
18916Bruce West?"
18916But he did not dwell long upon buried gold nor yet on the query which suggested itself:"Where were Barlow and Zoraida riding so early?"
18916But instead of that he merely said:"And how have you spent the long day, Miss Betty?"
18916But tell me: if it seemed the wise thing to do, could you drop everything here and make a try to get through with the word?"
18916But tomorrow?
18916But was all of this nothing more, nothing worse, than absurdity?
18916But what do you know that is worth the having that is n''t worth the fighting for?
18916But what tale could she have told to convince a man like Bruce who, at the least, was not a fool?
18916But, thought Kendric, what negro who ever lived would have denied having seen something ghostly?
18916Ca n''t you see?
18916Ca n''t you tell when a man is speaking the truth?
18916Can you not imagine that it might be unpleasant for her, left here over long?"
18916Could n''t you see it?"
18916Did I not come to you, that you should remember, on the boat that brought you here?"
18916Do I mean to let this go on?"
18916Do n''t fool yourself, Jim Kendric, that everything''s landslidin''you[ Transcriber''s note: your?]
18916Do n''t you know that she was one of the crowd raiding you?
18916Do you think he has an idea we''re here?"
18916Do you wish to go free?"
18916Does that still go?"
18916Even now, that he seemed to be reading her inmost soul, was she but playing the siren to his imaginings?
18916First, Barlow had demanded who Zoraida Castelmar was; had not Barlow even learned the name of the girl of the pearls?
18916For such a stake as kings would risk their crowns for?
18916For the giant African rolled his eyes whitely and said:"Ha''nts, Cap''n Jim?
18916For what had he come adventuring into Lower California if he were n''t ready for what the day might bring?
18916Good Lord, why should I want to lie to you?"
18916Had Zoraida the trick of hypnosis over men?
18916Have I not marked how you look at her?"
18916Have I not told you he will have none of it?
18916Have n''t I looked into her eyes?"
18916Have n''t I looked into her eyes?"
18916Have n''t I seen her terror of Rios?
18916Have you a man here to shake dice with me?"
18916Have you forgotten all I told you?"
18916Have you forgotten that?
18916He could go a little further without danger, since if the air grew worse he could still turn and run back up the steps?
18916He had wondered if she were mad; was not his answer now given him?
18916He started with an odd fancy; he caught himself wondering if those eyes could see in the dark?
18916He wondered how many men were hidden about the garden, like the fellow who had watched him and whistled?
18916He wondered if it were a clump of bushes on a little flat?
18916He wondered if she were Persian or Arabian; if in her blood was a strain of Chinese, even?
18916His answer was a clap on the back and a laughing demand to know what they were driving at and what they took him for, anyway?
18916How do you figure that out?"
18916How do you_ know_ she is n''t what I called her, the infamous dancing woman with an evil record a mile long?"
18916How many were watching him now?
18916I did not know you but----""But you''d have shot just the same, anyway?"
18916I have heard of you, Jim Kendric, and I have said to myself:''Is there such a man?
18916If I said that across the miles, over mountain and desert and water I sent my spirit to you-- would you believe?"
18916If so, what more likely place than where we are?
18916If these men quarreled, how would it affect him?
18916If we can slip out this way and come to the horses while they''re looking for us up there----""This way?"
18916If you can find your way to the place all right?"
18916If you went yourself, how far do you suppose you''d ever get?"
18916Is act of hers to be questioned by you?"
18916Is it ready?"
18916Is that plain enough?
18916Is that what Zoraida Castelmar had to say about her?"
18916Just how would we do it?
18916Just say so, ca n''t you?"
18916Just tell me one thing: Was it not at Zoraida Castelmar''s orders that you went?"
18916Just what is it?
18916Kendric stared wonderingly; was the fellow insane?
18916Kendric''s hand went out impulsively and he cried with great heartiness:"Forget it, boy.--What about Barlow?"
18916King of games?
18916May I have a few words with Señor West?"
18916Mexico?
18916Miss Gordon?"
18916Next, I fail to see what has happened that would alter your plans in her regard?"
18916Not in any law court, Jim?"
18916Nothing?
18916Now do you want to slip out with me for a goodnight drink of water?
18916Now he demanded of himself,"Why not?"
18916Now, what have you to say to me?"
18916Now, what''s the likelihood of Escobar having been there ahead of us?"
18916Once, with simulated carelessness, Escobar said:"The rancho would have been yours, had there been no will, is it not so, amigo Rios?"
18916Or are you just guessing again?
18916Or did my fancy play me a trick?"
18916Or if Zoraida has set some of her men to watch for us there?"
18916Or if they were shrubs clinging to some steep face of cliff?
18916Or would you rather wait here for me?"
18916Or, by golly, to send him all the way to the border?
18916Or, if I should go with the word myself?"
18916Please?"
18916Pretty, like a flower,_ no_?
18916See those three peaks, standing up together?
18916Señorita Pansy,"and suddenly his teeth showed in his quick smile,"a word with you please in the_ patio_?"
18916Shall I shake next?"
18916She is instrumental in Betty Gordon''s being held for ransom----""How do you_ know_?
18916She put out her two white arms toward the men at the table, saying softly:"Will you help me down, Señor Jim?"
18916She will give you the same line of mad talk she gave me, she will make you the same sorts of offers----""You''ve seen her then?
18916Since then have I not sent myself into your thoughts many times?
18916So when again Barlow said,"You''ll come?"
18916Suppose Zoraida were sincere in all that she had said to him, in all the things she did?
18916Suppose they were or were not?
18916Surely she is worth that and more?
18916Tell me, Betty, have n''t you any desire for a real camping trip in our own mountains?
18916Ten steps or a hundred yards away?
18916That you can turn the rock over?"
18916The issue is clear cut, is n''t it?"
18916Then how did that person know the instant he stepped away?
18916There''s the loot; no matter how or when we come at it, both together or single, we split it even?"
18916They meant to beat him down; in their minds was no doubt of the ultimate outcome, for were they not nine to one?
18916Think you he will remember in that dizzy moment that you have claims to be safeguarded?
18916To cross the path of Zoraida means---- But what are words?
18916To what eventual landing place would he have plunged?
18916Tomorrow, perhaps, it could be arranged that he would let us have a couple of horses to make our little trip into the hills butterfly- catching?"
18916Tonight?
18916Was he a free man, a man''s man or was he a woman''s plaything?
18916Was it above him or below, to right or left?
18916Was she not after all that not uncommon thing called a throw- back, a reversion to an ancestral type?
18916Was she through hypnosis projecting a lying image into his groping consciousness?
18916Was there finally, no end to the power of Zoraida?
18916Was there no end to the woman''s audacity?
18916Was this some barbaric whim of hers or was she, for the once, sincere?
18916Well, suppose we took the trouble to send a cowboy to some other, further postoffice?
18916Well, what of it?"
18916Well, why not?
18916What about me?"
18916What are you thinking of, man?"
18916What chance would a simple, open- hearted fellow like Bruce have against the wiles which were Zoraida''s stock in trade?
18916What do you want?"
18916What do you_ know_ against Zoraida Castelmar?"
18916What government that has to give half its time or more to watching its own step, can manage to ferret out every nest of highwaymen in every cañon?
18916What had happened between Bruce West and Zoraida?
18916What has he done to you that you should ruin him, first financially and then every other way?
18916What have those half- dozen years done to you?"
18916What have you held out on me?"
18916What have you made of it?"
18916What he saw elsewhere-- was it a reflected reality or was his mind under the spell of Zoraida''s?
18916What in the name of folly did he mean by a thing like this?
18916What is it?"
18916What luck?"
18916What makes you so confident?"
18916What more insane act than to send an amount of money of this size to a stranger?
18916What now?"
18916What other rot?"
18916What the devil is Miss Betty to me?
18916What then, Señor Jim Kendric?"
18916What though Zoraida had indulged in wild talk?
18916What will you bet they do n''t herd us back where we came from?"
18916What wonder that she saw nothing unlikely in her dreamings of herself as queen of a newly created empire?
18916What would he have done with a hotel room?
18916When I explain to you----""Boy,"cut in Kendric sternly,"where''s your head?
18916Where are you?"
18916Where shall we take her?"
18916Where were Bruce and Barlow and what lies was Zoraida telling them?
18916While I was out with Rios you were with her?"
18916While appearing to be all yielding softness, was she but playing a game?
18916Who is boss here?
18916Who knows?"
18916Who that is mad knows he is mad?
18916Who then will keep up your elaborate gardens?"
18916Who told you that she was the same as that dancing woman?"
18916Who wants to be a millionaire anyway?"
18916Whose children are they?"
18916Why Mexico more than another land?
18916Why had Barlow gone to the hotel at all?
18916Why have I put my hand out upon you, a foreigner?
18916Why not somewhere in Lower California, hurried away by caravan and canoe to a stronghold far from doomed Mexico City?
18916Why should Jim Kendric, to whom I am only a bothersome stranger, pay you a sum like that-- for me?
18916Why should the gaming- house keeper raise so violent an objection to any sort of a game played in his place?
18916Why should we establish ourselves here instead of going on about our business?
18916Why, man alive, ca n''t you see she''s just baby?"
18916Why?"
18916Why?"
18916Will you listen to me?"
18916Will you?"
18916With perhaps much more?
18916Wo n''t you let me go?
18916Woman?
18916Wonder how she works it?
18916Would she, at one instant swaying toward a man''s arms, the next whip back from him, laughing at him?
18916Would they grow wings and soar to the stars up there?
18916Would they tread along corridors carpeted with snakes?
18916Would you enjoy,"she taunted him,"the sight of Betty Gordon in a steel cage into which we allowed to enter a certain pet of mine?"
18916Would you have been jesting?"
18916You been seein''ha''nts, too?"
18916You call this child an adventuress?
18916You have marked that my cousin is a very rich woman?
18916You have n''t forgotten what brought us down here, have you?"
18916You have said that the great things I attempt are beyond me; have I failed in anything I have tried?"
18916You''ll hurry, wo n''t you?"
18916_ Quién sabe_, Señor Kendric, scorner of ladies?
18916am I Zoraida Castelmar, of a race of kings, daughter of the Montezumas, to have a man stand up before me weighing me in the balance of his two eyes?
18916chuckled Kendric,"when he finds his larder raided and this on the table?"
19472''We,''you say?
19472A mystery?
19472Afraid somebody will catch on and swamp you with a rush of claim stakers?
19472After they''ve committed every crime in the calendar to smash us? 19472 Agatha is married?"
19472And if I do n''t come across-- what then?
19472And if I do n''t give it to you?--if I tell you to go straight plumb to hell?
19472And if I refuse to learn?
19472And it was for the same reason that you sneaked in here while I was asleep?
19472And now one more question, Dorgan: have you quit the crooked business for keeps?
19472And since I am not yet ready to become either a murderer or a martyr?
19472And the bank?
19472And you say Geddis is still running the bank?
19472And you was layin''f''r me alone?--when you could''a''had Collins and Nixon and half a dozen more if yous''d squealed f''r''em?
19472Any more of you?
19472Any more?
19472Any visitors?
19472Are you feeling entirely well, Jimmie, dear?
19472Are you out of work?
19472Are you telling me that you let that woman hold you up for all the ready money you had in the world?
19472Been trying the honest lay, I suppose-- handing in your name and number wherever you went?
19472Blackwell is the superintendent you spoke of when we were coming up last night?
19472But how did they come to overlook this patch we''re figuring on?
19472But what_ will_ you do?
19472But why,_ why_ should they be so utterly lost to every sense of right and justice; to all the promptings of common humanity? 19472 But without the examination I sha n''t have a chance to offer bail, shall I?"
19472But you do n''t want to go back?
19472But you got bravely over it, after awhile?
19472By George, Bert, what did you see in that platform jumble to make you look as if you had suddenly taken on a new lease of life?
19472Can he get an injunction and hang us up?
19472Can you look me in the eye and tell me that you are not lying to me now?
19472Could you describe the woman for me?
19472Criminality is largely relative-- like everything else in the world, do n''t you think?
19472Did you hear what she said to the man?
19472Did you know I was in Denver?
19472Do n''t you know that is a frightfully dangerous thing to say to a woman-- to any woman, Bertie?
19472Do n''t you see that she did it for you? 19472 Do you mean that you''re trying to give me a hint that I''d better run away?"
19472Do you think I would take any chances with you? 19472 Do you think I''m that kind of a quitter?--that I''d take a single dollar out of the Little Clean- up''s war chest?
19472Done what alone? 19472 Ever been in their workin''s?"
19472Go with you?
19472Go?
19472Got''em all down in the printed tariff, so you ca n''t help knowing''em, eh? 19472 Have I been doing you an injustice by not allowing for a promotion in the three years and a half?"
19472Have n''t we learned to say:''Not heaven itself upon the past has power, But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour''? 19472 He was one of the fools, too, was he?"
19472Hello, Whitredge; at your old tricks, are you?
19472How about that little job you pulled off with a forged check in Chicago last week?
19472How come?
19472How could that be?
19472How do you know we are not raiding somebody''s ore shed?
19472How is Gifford? 19472 How long have you known that I was in Colorado?"
19472How much do you want, this time?
19472How much?
19472How the devil did you ever come to get mixed up with the Geddis woman, Jimmie?
19472How was that?
19472I ca n''t endure to think of that dreadful time four years ago-- it is four years, is n''t it?
19472I did n''t know it,she denied, adding:"but you have dropped the Weyburn?"
19472I did n''t see the finish of the bank trouble before they buried me, did I, Barton?
19472I did; and I had a funny experience-- or have I told you about it?
19472I take it you''ve got a little ready money hid away somewhere, have n''t you?
19472In a bank, eh?
19472In the night?
19472James Bertrand Weyburn, eh?
19472Jest lit down''twixt two days and dug a hole and struck hit right there at grass- roots, did ye? 19472 Know anybody in that bunch?"
19472Know anything at all about the railroad end of the coal business?
19472Looking around for a spade to begin the grave- digging?
19472May I ask what reason you have for thinking so?
19472May I ask what use you are going to make of your discovery?
19472Nor Everton?
19472Not me; if it was to come to that, I''d a damned sight rather you''d squeeze a little harder on that trigger you''ve got under your finger; see?
19472Now what''s that other document?
19472Of course you knew I would come; why should n''t I?
19472Paroled man, hey? 19472 Promise me, Herbert, wo n''t you?--for-- for the sake of the old times when you used to carry my books to school, and I-- I----"What was the use?
19472Quit the banking business, have you?
19472Robbed a bank, did you? 19472 Sedalla, you say?"
19472See here, Dorgan; was that why you followed me to town this afternoon?
19472Shall we make it this afternoon-- say, some time after three o''clock?
19472She could n''t stand the change in circumstances?
19472So it''s come to that, has it?
19472So there are three of you, are there?
19472So they''re going to jump us, are they?
19472So you are one of the owners of the famous Little Clean- Up? 19472 Somebody mails those letters for you in Wayne?"
19472Straight west?--or by way of Denver?
19472Street and number?
19472That is a pretty serious charge for you to make, is n''t it?
19472The injunction business?
19472The old debt?
19472The''circumstances''are connected with Miss Geddis?
19472Then I am to infer that she has a hold of some sort upon you?
19472Then what am I to expect?
19472Then where did you hear the story?
19472Then why did you take this long chance?
19472There was a time, once, when you really thought you were in love with me, was n''t there, Bertie?
19472They sent you to me here?
19472Traveling for your health, I suppose? 19472 Was it Everton?"
19472Was that the only reason?
19472Well; supposing we have-- what then?
19472Well? 19472 Well?"
19472Well?
19472Well?
19472What am I wanted for?
19472What became of the mining stock?
19472What can I do, more than I''ve been doing?
19472What did you say your name was?
19472What do you get out of it if this sale goes through, Whitredge?
19472What do you want of me, Agatha?
19472What do_ I_ get out of it? 19472 What girl?"''
19472What if I should tell you here and now that this is the end of It?--that you ca n''t make a plaything of me any longer? 19472 What kind of a job are you lookin''for?"
19472What made you change your mind?
19472What makes you say that, Tommy?
19472What more do you want than them tracks?
19472What''ll it be?
19472What''s wrong?
19472What''s your hurry?
19472When did you telegraph the warden?
19472Where are you from?
19472Where were you born?
19472Where''s that magnifying- glass?
19472Which are you; a prospector or a miner?
19472Which direction did that drift take?
19472Which one? 19472 Whitredge, who has retained you this time?"
19472Who is this gentleman that we ought to be able to hire?
19472Who swore out the warrant for my arrest?
19472Who the hell would know that? 19472 Why ca n''t I?"
19472Why ca n''t you?
19472Why did n''t you take me then?
19472Why do n''t you get it from your father?
19472Why not for me?
19472Why should I wish to have it postponed, when the delay would merely mean six months more of jail for me?
19472Why should it take nerve to tell a railroad agent he''s been overcharging us?
19472Why should they?
19472Why, say-- what''s struck you, Bert?--are you sick?
19472Why?
19472With the Lawrenceburg hemming us in the way it does, we wo n''t be able to buy elbow room at any kind of a price, will we?
19472Would it make any difference if I were to say that I was as innocent of the crime for which I was convicted as any of these frightened women?
19472Yes; have n''t you heard?
19472You are Bertrand, from the Hadley and Shelton camps?
19472You are trying to advise me to plead guilty?
19472You are trying to tell me that the affair with this woman had its origin in a former foolish infatuation?
19472You can assure me that your connection with her is an incident closed; and for all time?
19472You did n''t want the bosses to be robbed?
19472You got the money?
19472You have us down pretty fine, have n''t you?
19472You hike over to the Consolidated Coal Company''s yard on the West Side, and tell Mullins, the head book- keeper, that I sent you, see? 19472 You know who she is?"
19472You mean to-- to_ jail_?
19472You reported your loss to the police?
19472You say they were getting ready to railroad me out of town last night: I suppose they will do it to- day, wo n''t they?
19472You say you have been digging: what did you find out?
19472You think that was the motive?
19472You will give me what I want, if I will pay the price?
19472You''d be after seein''that kid- glove gang up at the front this mornin''?
19472You''re aimin''to turn me loose?
19472You''re forgettin''somethin'', ai n''t you?
19472You''re out, too, are you?
19472You''re the traffic man of this outfit: do you know the rates on coal from the mines to Western Central common points?
19472You-- you have n''t been stealing ore from the Lawrenceburg sheds?
19472You-- you mean that I''m free?
19472You?
19472''Jim Bertrand, is it?''
19472A foolish thing to do, you say?--when at a word I might have had all the help I needed in guarding the pay- money?
19472A wretchedly distorted point of view?
19472Again there was a pause, and then:"Well, why do n''t you do it?"
19472Ai n''t that the size of it, pally?"
19472Am I unreasonable?"
19472And the warden knows all about it, does he?
19472And then to me:"What are you signing there, Bertrand?"
19472And then:"Anybody in this crowd got a map?"
19472And then:"Do you realize that it is Sunday?"
19472And then:"How much experience have you had in keeping accounts?"
19472And then:"It is nearly six now: if you have n''t anything better to do, why not stay and take dinner with me?
19472And then:"What''s the matter?
19472Are you paying attention?"
19472Bucks, if nobody will give me a chance?"
19472Ca n''t you drop the professional ca nt for half a minute and talk straight?"
19472Can you defend yourselves in any way?"
19472Consolidated Coal pays these rates, does n''t it?--all according to Hoyle and the Interstate Commerce laws?"
19472Did the trip to town last night knock you out?"
19472Did you come in late?--in a cab?"
19472Did you ever read that line of Congreve''s about a woman scorned?
19472Do I understand that you are giving me a free hand in the case, Bert?"
19472Do n''t you want to go with me?"
19472Do you mean to say that you would tell Polly Everton?"
19472Do you mean to tell me that you''ve been giving me false figures?"
19472Does Barrett know?"
19472Does that make you feel better?"
19472Does that stir up any old memories for you?"
19472Get that?"
19472Gifford exploded; but Barrett merely caught my eye and said, very gently,"On your own account, or on ours, Jimmie?"
19472Had Everton told his daughter?
19472Have they been treating you well?
19472Have you ever suspected that your fight for reinstatement has been deliberately handicapped, right from the beginning?"
19472Have you roasted any of it?"
19472Have you tried chasin''it back to its startin''point?"
19472He nodded, half- doubtfully, I thought; and then:"You''re goin''to try again somewheres else?"
19472Her father had plainly declared his belief that we were stealing Lawrenceburg ore and planning a blackmailing scheme: had he told Blackwell?
19472I am taking it for granted that you had no intention of accompanying this woman?"
19472I could n''t stand aside and let it be done, could I?"
19472I do like his blunt English way of describing things; do n''t you?"
19472I go to my fellow Christians with a simple plea for justice for a man who needs it, and what do I get?
19472I listened at her askin''one o''the men who you was; d''ye see?"
19472I suppose you would n''t do anything like that, would you?--even if you had a good chance?"
19472I''m not letting it make any difference, am I?"
19472If you will have it so, what then?"
19472Is it any matter for wonder that by the end of the solitary week I was little better than a mad- man?
19472Is n''t that right, Gifford?"
19472Is n''t that so?"
19472Is that right?"
19472Is there anybody back behind that would do that?"
19472Just plain hard luck?
19472Let me ask you one, right now; do you know who the owners of the Lawrenceburg are?"
19472Look at me: I''m here, ai n''t I?
19472May I venture to hand you a lot of good wishes before the fact?
19472Nice little scheme, was n''t it?"
19472Or is it the parole scare?"
19472Say, do n''t you know, I''m bully glad we met up in the smoker this morning?
19472Shall we go?"
19472She says, says she:''Who is that man wit''a French beard-- the young man in his shirt- sleeves?''
19472Should I bind myself, once for all, to the brotherhood of law- breakers-- the submerged minority-- by shielding this man and conniving at his escape?
19472Study a minute: do n''t you want the five hundred?"
19472The other girl does n''t live here, does she?"
19472Then he said, very gently:"Now that you know the truth, what will you do?"
19472Then, after a protracted pause:"What can she do to yous, pally?"
19472Then, suddenly taking the aggressive:"You fellers looking for a mine?
19472Then, suddenly:"Who''s your friend?"
19472Then:"Got any head for figures?"
19472Then:"Why are you boys making this night play?
19472There''s on''y the one sure thing about it, pally: I''ll not be goin''back to''stir''--not alive; d''ye see?
19472They talked too much, and too loud, d''ye see?
19472Think you can hold it down?"
19472Tryin''to brace up?"
19472Vein runnin''bigger?"
19472Was there ever another such generous soul in this world, or in any other?
19472Was there never to be any let- up?
19472Were people always going to take it for granted that_ I_ was the criminal?
19472Were you under promise to marry her?"
19472What comes next?"
19472What could I say?
19472What could I say?
19472What have you done with Simmons?"
19472What was my duty in the premises?
19472What was the animus?
19472What was the content of the typewritten sheet he had consulted, and who had written it?
19472What was you in for?"
19472What will they do to you?"
19472What would you do?"
19472What''ll ye be doin''?"
19472What''s the obstacle?"
19472What?"
19472When will you go?"
19472Where''s your baggage?"
19472Who or what was the"outfit"that had been meddling in my sorry affair?--that was to be wired when my new destination should be ascertained?
19472Who''s payin''me for the side- trip?"
19472Why do n''t you come out in the open like other folks-- honest folks, I mean?"
19472Why, bless your innocent soul, Bert, ai n''t I working for my fee?
19472Will you go quietly, or do you want the nippers?"
19472Will you let them do it, and call the account square, Weyburn?"
19472Will you permit a comparative stranger to say that that was enough?
19472With such handicaps, what possible chance can a released man have to secure honest employment?
19472Ye did n''t know that, did you?"
19472You can see where all this is pointing?"
19472You come up quite often, do n''t you?
19472You hain''t told anybody else?"
19472You have n''t told the Cripple Creek girl anything about your past?"
19472You knew about the raid these fellows were planning?"
19472You never would have thought it of old Hod Barton, would you?
19472You remember how the branch vein in the two- hundred- foot level was bearing off to the east?"
19472You say you want to hit the straight- and- narrow: how would a job in a coal yard fit you?--keepin''books and weighin''-in the coal cars?"
19472You was lookin''f''r me to bust in here to- night?"
19472You were operating as bonded lessees under a temporary injunction, or something of that sort, were n''t you?
19472Your share of that would at least enable you and Polly to begin light house- keeping in a five- room flat, do n''t you think?"
19472and how are things at the mine?"
19472he shot back; and then:"Want more pay?"
20712A rainmaker?
20712Act?
20712Afraid it''d touch your fancy little handwritin'', was you?
20712Afraid of whom, Dora?
20712Ai n''t you goin''to leave town?
20712And the sheriff will act, I suppose?
20712And then what happens?
20712And there was another wave of immigration, you say, after that?
20712Any feelin''in your hands?
20712Are they hittin''anybody, or just shootin''for noise?
20712Are you goin''to stay in the office a while now, Tommy, and look after things while Dora and I do the work?
20712Are you goin''with us, Cal?
20712Are you going back to town?
20712Ca n''t the fellow be prosecuted for some of these murders? 20712 Can you shoot?"
20712Champagne, is it?
20712Cloud? 20712 Cloud?"
20712Come fur?
20712Considerin''a change?
20712Craddock?
20712Crooks run things, heh?
20712Deserve what?
20712Did he-- die?
20712Did the rain strike any of your range?
20712Did them fellers rope you and drag you away out here?
20712Did you hear the pore feller make that noise?
20712Did you shoot back?
20712Did you want to, or were you just--_did_ you want to speak to me that day, Miss Thayer?
20712Do n''t nobody want the job?
20712Do n''t you know?
20712Do n''t you think I''d better send my boy over to town for the doctor?
20712Do they do that right along here?
20712Dora, where''s your pa?
20712Face?
20712Footin''it over to Ascalon?
20712Give it up?
20712Give up that fool notion you had about raising wheat out here on this pe- rairie, heh?
20712Had to burn the town to fetch a rain, huh?
20712Has n''t it ever been tried out?
20712Has nobody ever tried it?
20712Have a ride?
20712Have you got any shells, Dora?
20712Hell, what''ll I do then?
20712How are they coming in now-- by the trainload?
20712How did you save it-- what are you doing here, Dora?
20712How does the land lay?
20712How does the weather doctor work?
20712How far is it from Ascalon to the river?
20712How many are with him?
20712How many folks have you got in this man''s town by now, Judge?
20712How would you do it, Judge? 20712 I guess you kept your gun- barrel hot down in that country, Seth?"
20712I hear you''re leaving town this evenin''?
20712I was just wondering whether you''d ever had any editorial experience?
20712In and out, or regular?
20712Is Mr. Morgan here?
20712Is he dead?
20712Is he sending them?
20712Is that rain- crow feller still workin''over in town?
20712Is the editor out of it for good? 20712 It sounds like you might be a lawyer,"the judge speculated,"or maybe a doctor?"
20712It''s so-- it''s rather-- prominent, is n''t it?
20712Maybe you can take a gun away from me, little feller?
20712Maybe you can throw some light on that case?
20712Mr. Gray, the druggist?
20712Must you go?
20712Oh, is n''t anybody going to help me-- won''t you call him, Violet?
20712On time, is she?
20712Peden? 20712 Resist an officer, will you?"
20712Rhetta?
20712Ship him out?
20712Six? 20712 So you''re the editor now?"
20712That old buffalo wrangler? 20712 That outfit that loaded over at Ascalon yesterday?"
20712The question is, how far do they want a man to go in the regeneration of Ascalon? 20712 Them Pennsylvania Dutch?"
20712Then what_ do_ you expect of a man?
20712Too good to write your name next to mine, are you?
20712Took the town?
20712Tried out? 20712 Want to walk around with me and introduce me and show me off?"
20712Was n''t he expected to?
20712Was you wishin''a room?
20712Well, did n''t you look for him to come back? 20712 What I ca n''t see in the dark?"
20712What are you going to do with that old brigand you''ve got locked in the calaboose?
20712What business did you foller back there in Ioway?
20712What did they do to him?
20712What fellows? 20712 What in the hell do you mean?"
20712What was goin''on back there?
20712What would you think of a man that would run up a three weeks''bill and then walk out there and let somebody put a bullet through him?
20712What''s he going to do with them?
20712What''s restin''so heavy on your mind, Judge?
20712What''s the bill?
20712What''s the use of one man putting his life against all this viciousness? 20712 What''s your chance?"
20712When can I get breakfast?
20712Where are they all?
20712Where was you last night?
20712Where you from?
20712Where you goin''to?
20712Where''s that man- eatin''marshal feller at?
20712Where''s the sheriff-- what''s he doing to restore order?
20712Wherever in the world have you been? 20712 Wherever_ have_ you been?"
20712Which?
20712Who was it that shot at you, Morgan?
20712Who was they?
20712Who wrote that?
20712Who''s come, Rhetty?
20712Who''s looking after things in town tonight?
20712Who?
20712Why in this man''s town, any more than any other man''s town?
20712Why is it always necessary to kill in Ascalon?
20712Why should he come?
20712Why was n''t you here attendin''to business when that gang rode in this morning?
20712Why, Mr. Morgan, what do you suppose? 20712 Why, are n''t we?"
20712Will I be wanted to give my testimony at the inquest, do you suppose?
20712Will you let me have a horse?
20712Win? 20712 With that bunch that just arrived?"
20712Would n''t we?
20712You ai n''t got a twenty- two hid around in your pocket nowhere?
20712You ai n''t got erry gun stuck around in your pants, have you, bud?
20712You better come in and have a cup of coffee, Rhetty, before----"The one they call the Dutchman''s there, and Drumm----"Drumm?
20712You boys ai n''t goin''to stand around here and see men from your own country burnt like niggers, are you? 20712 You do n''t tell me?"
20712You mean----?
20712You never walked plumb from there, did you?
20712You refer to that affair at the hotel this afternoon?
20712You remember his first case-- that fool cowboy he killed at the hotel?
20712You said they were at Peden''s?
20712You''re the mayor of this man''s town, are you, Judge?
20712You''ve come to settle with us, I hear?
20712Ai n''t you got a gun?"
20712And what happened to the editor?"
20712And you are going to try your fortunes here on the soil?"
20712Bones?
20712CHAPTER XV WILL HIS LUCK HOLD?
20712Did n''t you ever see it?"
20712Do n''t you see how it was?
20712Do you suppose Mr. Morgan killed them just for fun?"
20712Do you think he''ll be able to fetch it?"
20712Even if they did git the clouds together, how''re they goin''to split''em open and let the rain out?"
20712Ever been through one of''em?"
20712Fred scoffed;"what does that man care about a suit?
20712Funny, ai n''t it?"
20712Give it up, Mr. Morgan, wo n''t you, please?"
20712Goin''to let''em open tonight?"
20712Have you edited before?"
20712He was exonerated?"
20712Heard of this burg, I guess?"
20712How did Rhetta Thayer endure the winter, he wondered, when she could not gallop away into the friendly solitude of the clean, unpeopled prairie?
20712How did it come that one man could lord it over a whole town of free and independent Americans that way?
20712How does your copperosticies seems to segastuate this evenin''?"
20712How many are willing to put purity above profit for a while?
20712How many of them are there?"
20712If some feller_ did_ happen on how it was done, what do you reckon''d become of that man?"
20712Is he dead?"
20712Is n''t there some way the law can reach him?"
20712Is that right?"
20712Just pass that word along to your friend, will you, sport?"
20712Morgan?"
20712Morgan?"
20712Morgan?"
20712Morgan?"
20712No nig----""Where''s the marshal?"
20712Please, Mr. Morgan-- you''ll have to wear_ something_ to show your authority, wo n''t he, Pa?"
20712Say, do you reckon that rain- crow feller brought that cloud up from somewheres?"
20712So you''re goin''to leave the country, air you?"
20712The moving question now was, had Peden''s gun- notable friends joined Craddock?
20712The question is, how many people here want it done?"
20712Then to Conboy:"Is that gang from Texas stopping here?"
20712Upon what was his fame based?
20712Was he the bringer of peace in the name of the law that had been so long degraded and defied, or only another gambler in the lives of men?
20712Was this, indeed, the end?
20712What can a farmer do with land that holds together that way?
20712What did it matter if they should leave in the meantime, and go back down the wild trail to Texas?
20712What do they want?"
20712What else are they doin''?"
20712What grievance had he?
20712What had become of that knock- kneed horse wrangler from Bitter Creek they had heard so much about?
20712What in the name of goodness is the matter with your face?"
20712What were they trying to play off on him, anyhow?
20712What would a man do with his building, what would a man do with his stock?
20712When Craddock came down out of the train, would he come alone?
20712Where are they?"
20712Where did she live?
20712Where have you been all these years?"
20712Where was this man- eating city marshal?
20712Where''s he at?"
20712Where''s the other one?"
20712Which house would be Judge Thayer''s among the bright- painted dwellings along that raw lane?
20712Who did they suppose he was?
20712Who was this stranger with the mark of conflict on his face, this unusual weapon in the brawls and tragedies of Ascalon held ready in his hands?
20712Why did n''t somebody take a shot at him?
20712Why did n''t they defy him, go and open the doors and let this thirsty, money- padded throng up to the gambling tables and bars?
20712Why do n''t you fire him?"
20712Why have n''t you been in?
20712Why should Hutton go out to do that fellow''s gunning?"
20712You remember the Mennonites that wanted to settle here and were afraid?"
20712You''d have been satisfied then, I suppose?"
20712You''ll be in for dinner, wo n''t you?"
20712marry everybody?"
20712said Dora, hardly a breath between her last word and the next,"what_ever_ have you been doin''to your face?"
20712what authority?
20712what''s happened?"
2180A house with a window on Galloper''s Ridge, fifteen miles from anywhere? 2180 And do you suppose that if you boys went and forgot it that I''d have anything to do with your d-- d paper?"
2180And this friend left yesterday morning?
2180And what did you think of it?
2180And what do you think you''ll do, Uncle Dick?
2180And your brother-- did you live with him?
2180Are YOU one of them?
2180Are you sure?
2180At the convent?
2180But how shall I know?
2180But what were you doing here?
2180But who told ye where to find the mill?
2180But why?
2180But why?
2180But you kem here, just now, calkilatin''to find me?
2180D''ye mean to say thar''s any mountain man as low flung and mean as that?
2180Did n''t you hear it?
2180Did you ever hear the names of any of its passengers?
2180Did you make any search?
2180GIVEN to you?
2180Have you any pain?
2180Have you got''em yet?
2180How did this happen?
2180How many men have you here besides yourself?
2180Is the wounded man conscious? 2180 May I ask why you object to selling out?
2180No cellar nor outhouse?
2180Not Rivers-- why?
2180Of US?
2180Of course, YOU''D know if any one had come there lately?
2180Of course, you could be able to identify them?
2180On this side of the mill?
2180Prospectin''agin?
2180Sadie, dear, ye ai n''t thinkin''anything agin''me? 2180 Shiny, eh?
2180Show who?
2180The leader or chief?
2180The orator?
2180The second man?
2180Then you abandon her?
2180Then you were not in the house when the shock came?
2180There was no other house here?
2180Well-- if you did?
2180What about his wife?
2180What are you thinking of, you old rascal? 2180 What do you mean by the big shake?"
2180What do you mean?
2180What in God''s name was it, then?
2180What''s that for?
2180What?
2180Where from?
2180Who are you?
2180Who yer talking to?
2180Who''s come?
2180Why not? 2180 Why not?"
2180Why?
2180Wo n''t you come in and take something?
2180Wot accident?
2180Wot yer say?
2180Wot''s gone o''ye, Sade? 2180 Wot''s that?"
2180Would n''t they?
2180Ye ai n''t afeared o''the road agents?
2180Ye ai n''t hearin''anythin'', deary?
2180Ye did n''t stop to straighten it up down at the forks of the trail, did ye?
2180Ye wo n''t mind my axin''ye another question, will ye? 2180 Yes, why, Lordy Sade-- don''t you see?
2180You did n''t hear your friend Chivers say that the sheriff was out with his posse to- night hunting them?
2180You hear me? 2180 You mean the Captain?"
2180You tore it up?
2180You would n''t mind givin''me the size and shape and general heft of her as wore that shoe?
2180You would n''t mind telling me where you mought hev got that?
2180A window was suddenly let down; the voice of the professional man saying,"What''s the matter?
2180And he would see the Lady Superior?
2180And if a wife, whose absolute acceptance of such confined seclusion might be equally uncertain, why not somebody else''s wife?
2180And this-- this-- young girl?
2180And you?"
2180But for what purpose?
2180But for what purpose?
2180But how was he to prevent her?
2180But it was overlooked by Collinson, who was taking his gun from beside the tree where he had placed it,"Where are you going?"
2180But possibly-- who knows?"
2180But was he certain?
2180But was it altogether chanceful?
2180But what was this, then?
2180But what will you?
2180Could any one have disclosed to him the secret of the passengers''hoards?
2180Could he bear to see those frank, beautiful eyes dimmed with shame and sorrow?
2180Could he, in ordinary justice to them, to himself, or the mission he conceived he was pursuing, refrain from exposing her, or warning them privately?
2180Did n''t hear of the''arthquake that shook us up all along Galloper''s the other night?
2180Did you speak with him?
2180Did you?"
2180Do n''t you hear?"
2180Does he know who you are?"
2180Even if he could again penetrate the convent on some pretext at that inaccessible hour for visitors,--twilight,--how could he communicate with her?
2180Had he acted wisely?
2180Had she gone out by some other exit,--or had she been disguised?
2180Had she really seen him before, and had been as mysteriously impressed as he was?
2180Had the mysterious fugitive recognized him?
2180Has it ever occurred to you that it is as possible for her to have been deceived in that way as for you?"
2180He laughed a little more naturally, but presently added, with an uneasy smile,"What makes you think they would?"
2180He said at last desperately:--"How long did you live in the hollow?"
2180Her face whitened in the moonlight"Chivers?"
2180How did she convey it there?
2180How is business?"
2180I do n''t see no lights; wot are we stoppin''for?"
2180I hope that ai n''t the kind o''girl you''re looking arter-- is it?
2180I reckon he''s some sort of a broken- down lawyer-- d''ye see?"
2180I suppose you will follow?"
2180Is it the figure?"
2180Is that man,"pointing to the astonished Key,"one of your confederates?"
2180Is that so?"
2180It was easy enough to take the ordinary road to the convent, but would SHE follow that public one in what must be a surreptitious escape?
2180May she not still be here?
2180No more of that-- you understand me?"
2180Now, is there a room in this house with a door that locks?
2180Presently the first speaker continued:--"I reckon we''ll have to wait here till the next squall clears away the scud from the sky?
2180Sabe?"
2180Say, Seth,"she continued, moistening her lips slowly,"you''re guarding this place alone?"
2180She stopped, and with a faint return of her old gladness said,"Then you DID come back?
2180So I sez to myself,''Ef a six- shooter ai n''t of no account, wet''s the use of carryin''it?''
2180Some of ye thought ye saw a face too-- eh?"
2180There was a pause, and the voice went on less confidently:--"How long have you been here?"
2180There''s nothing gaudy and spectacular about that, boys, eh?
2180Was he quite sure that Collinson would not revisit the spot when he had gone?
2180Was he to be the ridiculous accomplice of a schoolgirl''s extravagant escapade, or the deluded victim of some infamous plot of her infamous companion?
2180Was it left for him, at this very outset of his passion, to be the one to tell her?
2180Was it madness, audacity, or a trick?
2180Was it possible for HER while sitting alone in the coach to have communicated with the band?
2180Was the singular sagacity displayed by the orator in his search purely intuitive?
2180Was there not in her innocent happiness in him a recognition of something in him better than he had dared to think himself?
2180What are ye looking back for now like Lot''s wife?
2180What do you say?"
2180What do you take me for?"
2180What''s that?"
2180Where the devil have we got to, anyway?
2180Who was she, what was she, and what meant her joyous recognition of him?
2180Why not a wife?
2180Why was that?"
2180With an instinctive premonition that this invasion had something to do with the former tenant, he said calmly:--"Who wants them?"
2180Would it not have been better if he had followed her own frankness, and--"Then it was Mrs. Barker''s profile that brought you here?"
2180Ye ai n''t allowin''I''m keeping anythin''back from ye?"
2180Ye ai n''t carryin''round with ye no woman''s shoe?"
2180Ye think THAT a sign?
2180You are imperiling our lives by this speed,"was answered only by,"Will some of ye throttle that d-- d fool?"
2180You know how them pines over on that far mountain- side always seem to be climbin''up, up, up, over each other''s heads to the very top?
2180You remember how we took her in,--yes, doubly took her in,--and kept your secret from her?
2180You remember it, do n''t you?
2180You remember that, Mr. Key?
2180You remember the slipper that you picked up?"
2180You say you have no trace of her?
2180You were saying, I think, that a lingering affection for your wife impelled you to keep this place for her, although you were convinced of her death?"
2180You''re right, Mr. Key, in wot you got off just now-- wot was it?
2180You''re the old Sadie, ai n''t ye?"
2180and Mrs. Barker of Chicago,''who had a pastoral home in the forest?
2180she interrupted hysterically;"and this is the Mill?"
2180you did n''t hear of it?
2180you remember it, miss?
19120A storm, you mean?
19120A tame panther, you mean, Frank?
19120About like a brakeman might swing his lantern if he was on a freight train in a black night, eh?
19120About the panther, you mean?
19120Ai n''t headin''toward home, are ye, Frank?
19120And Bob, you noticed, did n''t you, that it seemed to come right out of that hole? 19120 And I do n''t get any whiff of smoke, do you?"
19120And did he?
19120And do you know what I think?
19120And if that did n''t work, what then?
19120And it has to do with this misty feeling in the air; has it?
19120And that was the chief himself?
19120And who''s this with you-- your new chum; the boy from Kentucky?
19120And you say you''re bound out now?
19120And you tell me nobody knows what it is?
19120Any chance of getting up the rocks, Frank?
19120Any ordinary range rider might do that, even if he lost out,Peg went on;"but my game is along different lines; see?
19120Are you coming on, Peg?
19120Are you huffed just because the independent little rascal would n''t let us mother him? 19120 Are you thinking that perhaps we''d better get out with our nags, while we have the chance, and leave them, while we keep up the game on foot?"
19120But Frank, we do n''t believe in any such thing, do we?
19120But I say, Frank, is the fact that he''s private property going to make any difference; that is, do I shoot straight if I get the chance again?
19120But do you take any stock in what Peg said about an avalanche?
19120But if we needed the glass to find out who he was, how does it come that an old man like Hank could tell that we were friends, at such a distance?
19120But if we''ve got to try it, Frank, what''s the use of waiting?
19120But is it possible that some hermit is living in this cave?
19120But look here, Frank, you''ve heard your dad talk about this Thunder Mountain business, I take it?
19120But say, did you take notice of the way our horses acted while that thing was going on?
19120But see here, Nick,Peg went on, anxiously;"did n''t you notice anything when you were leading me up here like a lamb to the slaughter?
19120But then, it may not come for hours yet?
19120But this is the same old turtle crawl, is n''t it; the_ barranca_ we followed up to the time we climbed the slope with our horses?
19120But to return to our mutton, which after all is antelope meat, when do we start operations? 19120 But we wo nt let''em drive us out of here until we know all about that geyser, if there is such a thing; will we, Frank?"
19120But what I wanted to remark is this: you must have heard him give an opinion about this thunder sound?
19120But what can I do?
19120But what does that matter, when neither of us can find any fire around? 19120 But what if he had a big object in it, Bob?
19120But what makes you say that, Nick?
19120But why did n''t you tell me all this before?
19120But would they be in danger in case of a storm- burst?
19120But ye did n''t expect to take a turn thar when ye left home, did ye?
19120But you do n''t feel disappointed, do you?
19120But you do n''t mean to say Peg did that?
19120But you do n''t want to go back just yet, do you, Frank?
19120But you suspect they might have another reason, too?
19120Ca n''t you think of some way we might get out of this? 19120 Cow punchers; or perhaps rustlers?"
19120Did you find out what ailed him?
19120Did you notice how he had a silk handkerchief bound around his head, regular Mex fashion?
19120Did you say coffee?
19120Do n''t you see that it''s only a little Mexican boy on that bag of bones of a horse? 19120 Do we go?"
19120Do we need to hold the horses down any longer?
19120Do you expect we''re going to have a peck of trouble with these miners?
19120Do you know the old chief, then?
19120Do you mean that you''ve guessed what makes all that frightful noise?
19120Do you really mean you think we''ve come far enough for that?
19120Do you think Joe had a torch?
19120Do you think so?
19120Do you think you could find that exact spot again?
19120Do you? 19120 Does that mean this is the exact place where Joe had his little circus, Frank?"
19120Even if it takes till morning?
19120Even if you knew it was Peg Grant you''d treat me that way; would you? 19120 Feel the wind, will you?"
19120Frank, do you think it''s going to reach up here?
19120Frank, that roaring sound did n''t seem like the others we''ve been hearing; d''ye think it means anything has happened?
19120Frank, you felt that wet sensation, like fine spray, did n''t you?
19120Get him?
19120Glad to do that same, Frank,the veteran cowman replied, and then added:"but jest why are ye headin''this way, might I ask?
19120Got enough?
19120Has the cloudburst arrived?
19120He has no claim on Thunder Mountain; has he? 19120 Head him off, Frank; or shall I jump on my horse and try to rope him?"
19120How about your leg, Joe; can you walk?
19120How are ye, young Haywood?
19120How is it, Senor Frank; can you get me out,_ camerado_?
19120How''s this for a camping place?
19120How?
19120I can see something that seems blacker than the night itself; is that what you mean, Frank?
19120I guess you did n''t notice something queer about that animal, then, Bob?
19120I have four already; how do you stand?
19120I''m just primed for something that''s out of the common run; and what could be finer than such a game? 19120 In other words, we''d better be looking around for a place to camp, Frank?"
19120In what way? 19120 Indians?"
19120Is that all, Hank?
19120It might happen here on Thunder Mountain, too, could n''t it, Nick?
19120Listen to that, Frank?
19120Looks easy, does n''t it, after we''ve run across a clue?
19120Meaning at old Thunder Mountain?
19120Meaning where I sniffed that smoke each time? 19120 Mighty little, Bob,"replied the other, dropping beside him;"how''s the water coming along?"
19120Navajos, ai n''t they?
19120No luck, eh?
19120No telling what he may run up against there, eh?
19120None of the boys on the ranch would go with you, then?
19120Not brimstone and sulphur, I hope?
19120Now what''s the programme?
19120Now what?
19120Now, I wonder did he mean that; or was he just bluffing?
19120Now, what could it have been? 19120 Now, what do you mean by hinting in that way?
19120Now, why did n''t somebody ever think of that before?
19120Ready to go on, then?
19120Recognize the rider, then? 19120 Rustlers, maybe?"
19120Say, I do n''t suppose, now, you''d care to sell that animal, Archer?
19120Say, do I?
19120Say, look here, would you take me up if I proposed something right now?
19120Say, now, what d''ye think of that, Bob?
19120Say, what d''ye reckon anybody could want a lantern up there for? 19120 See that timber over yonder, where a stream runs?
19120Silly? 19120 So that''s old Thunder Mountain, is it?"
19120Suppose we do, and the sulphur fumes suffocate us? 19120 Supposin''she is what ye tell, that ai n''t any reason the explosion''s got to come this particular night, is it?
19120Supposing the thing broke loose before we could find any place to climb out?
19120Tell me why, wo n''t you, please, Frank?
19120That a landslide is going to start things going on Thunder Mountain any time-- is that what you mean?
19120That is, hang around until night, and wait to see if the grinding begins again, as it did when we were in camp below?
19120That''s all right, Bob,replied his chum, quickly;"but are you ready to give the game up here and now?"
19120That''s what you could call a close call; eh, Frank?
19120The geyser has stopped beating against the inside of the mountain, has n''t it? 19120 The one we said was a lantern?
19120Then it was a narrow squeak, was it?
19120Then prospectors-- Lopez and his bunch?
19120Then something_ did_ get hold of him; did n''t it, Frank?
19120Then there wo n''t be no more racket, will there?
19120Then they went on up that canyon, you believe?
19120Then this thing has been going on forever, has it?
19120Then what''s to hinder both of us going at it?
19120Then ye mean to go into camp soon?
19120Then you could recognize it; eh?
19120Then you do n''t believe that little Lopez had anything to do with it, Frank?
19120Then you think we''re going to get caught here, Frank?
19120Then you wo n''t wait for us?
19120There''s the sun coming up; and perhaps we''d better be getting a move on about now?
19120Think you see signs of trouble from Peg and his bunch; or is it something else?
19120Want me to light a torch too, Frank?
19120Was it? 19120 Was there ever such a long night?"
19120We must be getting down somewhere near the canyon, are n''t we, Frank?
19120Well, does that strike you as silly?
19120Well, how about it?
19120Well, what are we going to do about it?
19120Well, what d''ye think of that?
19120What about it? 19120 What ails the beast?"
19120What are you going to do?
19120What are you sniffing about, Frank?
19120What black opening did you try to enter; and what happened to you,_ amigo_? 19120 What d''ye mean pointing your old gun up at me, and making as if you meant to shoot?"
19120What do you mean by hitting me like that?
19120What do you say?
19120What do_ you_ mean, hurting that poor little Mexican girl?
19120What does it matter to you, Frank Haywood, when I left the greenhorn class and moved up a pace? 19120 What have you discovered, Frank?"
19120What is it?
19120What is it?
19120What makes you say that?
19120What of that? 19120 What under the sun do we want to get inside the mountain for?
19120What was that flash, Frank? 19120 What was the use, boss?
19120What would cowmen be doing away off here, tell me that, Bob? 19120 What''s doing?"
19120What''s on?
19120What''s the matter now?
19120What''s the matter, Frank?
19120What''s the matter-- you did n''t cut yourself, I hope?
19120What, that Mex boy? 19120 Whatever can have happened to him?"
19120Which way, Frank?
19120Who, me?
19120Why do you think they left the trail, and made their horses climb up?
19120Why not take a snack before we leave our base of supplies? 19120 Why, do you really believe the racket comes out of that hole?"
19120Why, what did you expect?
19120With a collar around his neck, too?
19120Wo n''t they be apt to run over us?
19120Yes, and how do we know but what this Mexican boy is hooked up with that Mendoza crowd?
19120Yes?
19120You do n''t believe, then, that there could have been some kind of storm up there; do you?
19120You do n''t say? 19120 You go across mountains, eh?"
19120You mean of course for to- night only, because you''d never think of such a thing as giving up the game so early, Bob?
19120You notice we happen to be sheltered more or less down here, when she comes out of that same quarter?
19120You understand that we are your friends, Lopez, do n''t you?
19120You''re both going to pay dear for this little fun, hear that?
19120You, Senor Frank?
19120You-- would, eh?
19120''Cause, I opine, ye wants me to carry thet same news back home; do n''t ye?"
19120And if Spanish Joe, why not the other cowboy who was in bad repute among the ranches; yes, and Peg himself?
19120And it worked too, did it?"
19120And lugging along a bunch of extra mounts, too, in the bargain?
19120And why was Peg Grant standing on the stoop of the tavern grinning as I rode past?
19120And would n''t I hate to lose Domino the worst way; even if he does give me a raft of trouble at times?"
19120And yet it does n''t seem to be a fire, does it?"
19120Are you feeling better, Bob?"
19120Are you ready for a shock?"
19120Are you ready to turn the bend, Bob?"
19120Besides that; what could there be to make trouble?"
19120Bob exclaimed;"If what you tell me turns out to be true, it looks as if we were bottled up in a nice hole, does n''t it?
19120Bob, would you see what is coming out from among those loose rocks there?
19120But I wonder, now could I find it?
19120But Nick likes a joke as well as any cowboy; and who could keep a straight face after seeing what happened here?
19120But do you know what kind of thorn this is?"
19120But just think of a tenderfoot like Peg let loose on that fierce slope up yonder; will you?"
19120But look here, what d''ye suppose they''re doing so far away from their reservation?"
19120But now we''re in here, I hope we find out the truth soon, do n''t you, Frank?"
19120But say, what''re you sniffing that way for, Frank?"
19120But say, you said something about a hermit just now?"
19120But see here, Frank, do white men-- cowboys, prospectors, and the like-- believe this mountain is haunted?"
19120But see here, Frank, is this little affair going to force us to change our plans?"
19120But stop and think Bob; what d''ye expect takes these cattle- rustlers over this way right now, headed straight for the canyons of Thunder Mountain?"
19120But supposing this thing_ does_ turn out to be true; how''s it going to affect our little business, Frank?
19120But tell me, why did he pick out_ my_ horse, instead of your Buckskin?"
19120But what became of the little Mex?
19120But what has that got to do with the measly old grumble of the mountain, tell me?"
19120But what was so funny about him, Frank?
19120But whatever would anybody up there be signalling for, and who to, Bob?"
19120But where do you suppose Joe can be all this time?
19120CHAPTER IX WHAT HAPPENED TO PEG"Then you think the same as I do, eh, Bob?"
19120CHAPTER XI THE BLACK NIGHT"How does this suit you, Bob?"
19120CHAPTER XIII THE SMOKE TRAIL"Are you sure of it?"
19120CHAPTER XV SPANISH JOE DROPS A CLUE"Where can he be, Frank?"
19120Can he have had a hand in this sudden crazy spell of the black?
19120Can you see any swinging motion to the light Frank?"
19120Could n''t I induce you to name a price on that black beauty, Archer?"
19120Could you see any signs here to tell about that?"
19120D''ye reckon it could be one of those rustlers; and would they try to hold us up so as to get our mounts?"
19120Did he have a rubber neck, you mean?"
19120Did he have only one eye; or was he three- legged?"
19120Did n''t he come along this trail ahead of us?"
19120Did n''t that knock the old chap silly, though?
19120Did you ever smell sulphur burning?"
19120Do I not know it?
19120Do n''t you feel how the ground shivers?
19120Do n''t you see the point?"
19120Do n''t you see what I mean, Bob?
19120Do n''t you think we''d better lie down till the worst is over?"
19120Do n''t you understand that all that noise is coming_ out_ of this old thing?
19120Do n''t you understand what that means, Bob?"
19120Do they often have that sort of thing out here?"
19120Do we take the dare; or stay out here and wait till the fuss is over before entering?"
19120Do you think so, Nick?"
19120Do you think this always happens when the old mountain breaks loose; or is this an extra big celebration?"
19120Does n''t he look sleepy and tuckered out though?
19120Frank replied; and then himself lowering his lips to the ear of Bob he went on:"What''s the matter with Peg and his crowd?
19120Frank, your shot hit the bull''s eye, and who knows but what we may be on the way to find out the truth right now?"
19120Get it?"
19120Get onto it, Bob?"
19120Get that, Frank?"
19120Get that, Nick?"
19120Give me a whack between the shoulders, wo n''t you, Frank?
19120Had I not been so tired and sleepy, perhaps even I might have shot the bear, who knows?
19120Has he run away, or dropped over into one of those pits we saw on the way up here?
19120Have you entered for the endurance race at the annual cowboy meet next month; or do you expect to take the medal for riding bucking broncos?"
19120Have you forgotten little Lopez, and how frightened he looked when we spoke about keeping him company?"
19120Have you see an opening here, Bob?"
19120How about it?
19120How did you come out about the duffle you were carrying; any of it get lost?"
19120How does that coffee look?"
19120How long did you say now, Frank?"
19120However in the wide world will we get out of this?"
19120I give you my word, my friend here wo n''t put a finger on you, if so be you get the better of the row; will you Frank?"
19120I''m wet to the knees; and did you hear him thank me for it?
19120If I was alone now, d''ye know what I''d likely be doing, Frank?"
19120Is it a go, Bob?"
19120Is it a go, Frank?"
19120Is that it, Frank?"
19120Is that so?"
19120Is that the trouble now?
19120It is n''t a great ways from dawn, is it, Frank?"
19120Nick said so anyhow; did n''t he, Frank?"
19120Now Bob, have you ever been up in the Yellowstone Park region?"
19120Now, I reckon it might have been something about Lopez?"
19120Now, I wonder if those riders hit it up this way?"
19120Now, how''s that?"
19120Now, what does it make you think of, most of all?"
19120Only for you coming, where would I be right now?
19120Peg was happy-- why?
19120Remember that poor little girl Peg Grant was cuffing when you knocked him down?
19120Say, do n''t he sing though, to beat all creation?
19120Say, look at his strut, will you?
19120Say, now, you did n''t see any feathers on their heads, did you?
19120See him rear up, will you?
19120Since when did you climb up out of the tenderfoot class, tell me?"
19120The cave that Spanish Joe had found and entered-- could it have anything to do with the mystery of the mountain?
19120The question is, have we the nerve to try it?"
19120Then you think, now, it might have been a fire?"
19120Then, again, how do we know but what it might be that Peg Grant lot?
19120Think he''ll tackle us again?"
19120Think it''s going to rain, do you?"
19120Understand that?"
19120We must do something to save him, Bob, but whatever shall it be?"
19120What better could we ask, I''d like to know?
19120What brings ye here, Frank?"
19120What do you think about that yarn, Frank; did he meet up with anything; or was he just scared out of his seven senses?
19120What was it like, Bob?
19120What will we do now?"
19120Whatever can it mean?"
19120Whatever sort of power can it be that makes this noise and shivering sensation?"
19120Where is it, Frank?"
19120Who was it gave Peg his little tumble when he was striking that child?
19120Why''d you let me come?
19120Wonder what Peg will say when he runs across us out there in that lonely place?
19120Wonder what he''d say if he knew Frank Haywood was here, so far away from the home ranch?"
19120Would any fellow be so mean as to fasten some of those prickly sand burrs under his tail?
19120Ye ai n''t stopping, are ye?
19120You do n''t happen to glimpse anything queer around here, do you, Bob?"
19120You notice, do n''t you, that the thunder now is about all natural?"
19120You take little stock in that yarn; but, all the same, you think we ought to look into it, now we''re on the ground?"
19120a greenhorn, eh?"
19120asked Bob, eagerly;"footprints?"
19120do you mean that the old geyser has turned into a river, and will keep on running like this right along?"
19120do you mean you smelled smoke three separate times since you left me?"
19120down there, air ye all safe?"
19120exclaimed Bob, presently, as the sound of retreating hoofs began to die away;"what d''ye think of that, eh, Frank?"
19120exclaimed Frank, when he was able to catch his breath again,"What d''ye think of that, now?
19120let up on that kind of talk, will ye?"
19120now, what''s the use botherin''?
19120remarked Bob, elevating his eyebrows;"was that what forced you to take that header down the slope?
19120say, I wonder if that crowd can have anything to do with the rumbling of the mountain?"
19120say, Mr. Smith,"cried Bob,"have you lost a pet that wears a collar?"
19120the Kentucky lad inquired;"something that I might lend a hand at?"
19120then perhaps I''d better be keeping an eye out as we go along, and see how the land lies?"
19120was that what I felt just now?"
19120what brought you here, Frank Haywood, I''d like to know?"
19120what does that mean?"
19120what shall we do, Nick?"
19120what ye a sayin''that for?"
19120what''re you two fellers doing here on Thunder Mountain, anyhow?"
19120what''s that moving there among those rocks just ahead?"
19120what''s the matter Bob?"
19120you do n''t say?"
19120you''re thinking about that volcano business again, eh?"
19120you''re thinking now of that demon Joe told about, eh, Frank?"
17205A gun- play?
17205Ai n''t it tur''ble, Miss Beatrice? 17205 Ai n''t that right, Clay?"
17205All wool, you say?
17205Almost won the championship once, did n''t he?
17205Alone?
17205Am I?
17205An''I''ve said to myself, sez I, who''s the handsome officer that sets off his uniform so gr- rand?
17205And the-- the shooting? 17205 And what would I do that for, Mr. Tim Muldoon?"
17205And who''s the happy girl?
17205And who''s this gumshoe guy from the bush league tailin''us? 17205 Another?"
17205Anybody know who this is?
17205Are you alone?
17205Are you alone?
17205Are you askin''me to croak him?
17205Are you glad-- glad all through, sweetheart?
17205Are you going to keep me here all day?
17205Are you going to take a water hose along?
17205Are you sure of that, Dad?
17205Are you sure?
17205Are you-- badly hurt?
17205At this gambling- house-- Maddock''s?
17205Bad, Johnnie?
17205Bromfield?
17205But did you?
17205But since you ask me-- why could n''t you have given her money and let her find a place for herself?
17205But why to that place? 17205 But you did n''t go?"
17205But-- but-- but-- what do you mean?
17205C- can I see you a minute in the next car, Miss Beatrice?
17205Ca n''t you come down to- night to The Purple Pup or The Sea Siren and see for yourself?
17205Ca n''t you take her away?
17205Can I get in that way?
17205Can you bring this Lindsay to a gambling- dump? 17205 Can you deny it?
17205Can you describe it?
17205Can you get me a taxi? 17205 Can you have it stopped and the man arrested?
17205Can you swim?
17205Can you tell me that this-- friend of yours-- is a good girl?
17205Can you tell me where there''s a dry- goods store in this man''s town?
17205Could n''t she''a''made this date to shake you down? 17205 Did I mention soft soap?"
17205Did I say anything about prison?
17205Did I see it? 17205 Did I wake you- all, ma''am, with my fool singin''?
17205Did I?
17205Did he give you any hint of what was in the air?
17205Did he say which club?
17205Did he send you here to tell me that?
17205Did he?
17205Did it happen in the dark?
17205Did n''t catch your name?
17205Did the bulls get Lindsay?
17205Did you bring me here to say good- bye, Johnnie?
17205Did you ever know Johnnie get anything right?
17205Did you expect me to make that grand- stand play on the_ parada_ a claim on yore kindness? 17205 Did you get the girl?"
17205Did you really advise him to beat me, Johnnie?
17205Did you see this man Collins in the room?
17205Do I act as though I had?
17205Do I have to order everything that is here?
17205Do n''t I know it?
17205Do n''t they know a fellow eats dinner at noon and supper at night?
17205Do n''t you think it possible that you rescued her out of a job?
17205Do n''t you- all want yo''berth made up, lady?
17205Do you allow that skunk is aimin''to bushwhack you?
17205Do you know the way to Police Headquarters?
17205Do you know where Miss Whitford is, Jenkins?
17205Do you know where he''s staying?
17205Do you mean that you''ve changed your mind?
17205Do you sure enough mean that, Miss Beatrice?
17205Do you think it would be safe to go to the police?
17205Do you think she''ll come?
17205Do you think so-- with so many attractive girls in New York?
17205Do you want me to tell him that I''ll be glad to drop our family friends to meet his approval? 17205 Do you-- figure you could--?
17205Does he think I''m a soft mark too?
17205Does he want to look in the house?
17205Does he? 17205 Does he?"
17205Does that look reasonable to you, Clay?
17205Does that mean you still think you want me?
17205Does the officer want something, Nora?
17205For the love o''Mike, where''s her eyes? 17205 For the love o''Mike, who is this guy?"
17205Get the number?
17205Going along with us? 17205 Good news, eh?
17205Got a six- shooter-- a fohty- five?
17205Got everything ready for the girl?
17205Greenwich Village?
17205Gun''Slim,''did he?
17205Had enough?
17205Have you heard something about your cigarette girl?
17205Have you seen Jerry Durand this sunny mo''nin''?
17205Have you?
17205He told you that, did he?
17205He was like us, was n''t he? 17205 How about my going bail for you?"
17205How about you, Bromfield?
17205How are you, Johnnie? 17205 How could he be hurt, Bee?"
17205How did you come to go?
17205How long had you figured I was to get on the Island? 17205 How many times have I told you to look where you''re going?
17205How many?
17205How much will you need?
17205How much?
17205How much?
17205How''d this do? 17205 How''s the big town been using you?"
17205How?
17205I asked you what you''ve done with Kitty Mason?
17205I beg your pardon?
17205I could n''t let him hypnotize that little girl from the country, could I?
17205I did n''t know-- why, what time is it?
17205I did n''t see him after I got behind that''How Many?'' 17205 I do n''t think, Miss, that he''s able--""Will you please tell him what I say?"
17205I''d like to know, young man, why the police are shadowing this house?
17205If I do, will you let me go?
17205If you do, where do ye think you''ll get off at?
17205In the dark?
17205Is Jerry comin''himself with the others?
17205Is he dead?
17205Is n''t there some way to stop him, then?
17205Is that important? 17205 Is that necessary, Mr. Whitford?
17205Is that quite correct? 17205 Is that right?
17205Is that right?
17205Is that so?
17205Is that what you think?
17205Is that you, Mr. Muldoon? 17205 Is the Bird Cage flooded?"
17205Is this a pinch?
17205Is this house number 121?
17205Is this ruffian in the house now?
17205Is your friend like you?
17205It was the hitching- post that did it, then?
17205Just harmless cranks-- gone loco, mebbe?
17205Listen, how do you know the girl ai n''t a badger- worker?
17205May I tell everybody how happy I am?
17205Me? 17205 My God, do you think I''m going to-- to-- go into court?
17205My God, how did I ever come to get into such a mix- up? 17205 Not really?"
17205Now, how could he do that? 17205 Now, what would I do that for?
17205Oh, Clay, is n''t it just too good to be true?
17205Oh, would n''t it?
17205Or have the miners called a strike again?
17205Quite sure?
17205Quite through effervescing?
17205Say, Clay, ai n''t you gettin''homesick for the whinin''of a rawhide? 17205 Say, I do n''t want to butt in or anything, but-- he did n''t do a thing to you, did he?"
17205Say, ai n''t he a go- getter?
17205Say, do I look like one of them born- every- minute kind?
17205Say, how did youse get into de house?
17205Say, is this a weddin''garment you''re onload''n''on me? 17205 Say, whadya think I am?

17205Say, what''s the lay- out? 17205 Say, whatta you think I am-- one o''these here Fift''Avenoo society dames?
17205Say, where do you get this movie- stunt stuff? 17205 Say, where''s Joey?"
17205Say, who the hell are youse?
17205Say, why do n''t you go into the movies and be one of these here screen ideals? 17205 Say, wot t''ell''s this stuff you''re pipin''?
17205Says I''m white- slavin''a girl, does he? 17205 Seen anything of the girl?"
17205She did n''t give you a card?
17205She''s a kind of cuddly little girl who needs the protection of some nice man, you say?
17205So Lindsay''s your friend, eh? 17205 So he''s a friend of this second- story bird, is he?"
17205So that really your championship has n''t been so great a help to her after all, has it?
17205Sure the car was n''t tan- colored?
17205Tank so? 17205 That express wagon-- the one leaving the house as we drove up-- Did you notice it?"
17205That place where you keep folks that get drowned or bumped off? 17205 That''d be a thousand and fifty you had given me, would n''t it?"
17205That''s certainly a leading question,he parried,"What are you up to, Bee?
17205The bullets would hit the partition close to the center, would n''t they?
17205The hard- faced guy with the little girl?
17205The law--"Did you go hire a lawyer for an opinion before you paid Durand to do me up?
17205The one with the muscles bulging out all over him-- who is he?
17205The prize- fighter?
17205The ring was on the left hand?
17205Then did n''t you see him at all?
17205Then why did n''t you say so? 17205 Then you knew it?"
17205Then you know all about it?
17205There''s no fun in rescuing the plain ones, is there?
17205They did?
17205Think yuh can come to New York and pull your small- town stuff on us? 17205 To- night?"
17205Tucson?
17205W- what did he tell you?
17205Was he hurt?
17205Was it a closed car?
17205Was it you that hit him?
17205Was it you?
17205Watchawant?
17205We''ll get her back sure, do n''t you reckon?
17205We''ll not believe anything of you that is n''t good? 17205 Well?"

17205What do you mean gang leader?
17205What do you mean? 17205 What do you suppose that impudent young scalawag did with the fifty?"
17205What do you want me to do, then?
17205What do you want to see Miss Whitford about, Johnnie?
17205What do you want? 17205 What does he say?"
17205What does this message mean?
17205What for? 17205 What good will that do you?
17205What have I done that you do n''t like?
17205What have you been thinking about us?
17205What is it you''re so afraid to tell me, Clarendon?
17205What is it, Clary?

17205What''s the good of discussing it here?
17205What''s the matter with me goin''into the house instead o''you? 17205 What''s the trouble now?"
17205What''s yore own notion of what I ought to do to you, Bromfield? 17205 What-- what do you mean?"

17205Who took her?
17205Who was he?
17205Who-- is-- s-- s-- s it?
17205Whose fault will that be? 17205 Why did n''t you say so?"
17205Why did n''t you tell us that it was Mr. Bromfield who struck down that man Collins? 17205 Why did n''t you tell us?"
17205Why do n''t you break with him, Annie? 17205 Why do n''t you lay down on it?"
17205Why do n''t you pull yore picket- pin and travel to a new range?
17205Why do you suppose he took you to Maddock''s?
17205Why not? 17205 Why not?"
17205Why take the trouble? 17205 Why will he know all about it?"
17205Why would he get off before we reach the depot?
17205Why would n''t we come?
17205Why, I dunno--"Was it black, brown, white?
17205Why?
17205Will they let us see him? 17205 Will you be here when I get back?"
17205Will you now? 17205 Will you tell me what else there was to do?
17205With him where?
17205With him?
17205With his gang?
17205With or without?
17205Without saying anything about his suitcases?
17205Wo n''t you come in and see him? 17205 Wo n''t you introduce us, Clarendon?"
17205Wo n''t you take a whirl at the wheel?
17205Wot t''ell do youse mean? 17205 Wot''s it to you?"
17205Would n''t I be justified?
17205Would n''t I? 17205 Would n''t it give a fellow a jar?
17205Would you mind getting yore man to wrop it up for me? 17205 Wyoming?"
17205You ai n''t really aimin''to go to New York sure enough?
17205You did n''t have-- any trouble with him?
17205You did n''t know you had invited me to dinner, did you?
17205You do n''t regret New York-- not a single, hidden longing for it''way down deep in yore heart?
17205You heard about the girl abducted in an auto from the Bronx?
17205You mean-- marry him?
17205You saw the gun?
17205You say it was a free ride? 17205 You think so?"
17205You took Miss Beatrice in there to say good- bye to him?
17205You want me to go in here?
17205You will be careful, wo n''t you?
17205You will, eh? 17205 You''re quite a joker, ai n''t you?
17205You''re right certain Kitty was in it?
17205You''ve been down to find out?
17205You-- what?
17205You-- what?
17205Young or old?
17205Your daughter''s engaged to Bromfield, ai n''t she?
17205Your man could telephone, could n''t he? 17205 Youse promised--""Aw, what the hell''s eatin''you?"
17205Ai n''t I a heluva man?"
17205Ai n''t it their business to rustle up strays?"
17205Ai n''t that great?"
17205Am I correct?"
17205And how?
17205And say-- how came the bulls so hot on our trail?
17205And what are you doin''here?"
17205And what''s that gat for if it ai n''t to croak some other guy?
17205And what''s the big idea in most killin''the chief?"
17205And where was he now?
17205And where''s Mr. Lindsay?
17205And who told you I was scared?
17205And why should her friend be in such a place unless he had been trapped by the enemies who were determined to ruin him?
17205And why, since Clarendon was trembling lest it be discovered, should the Arizonan too join the conspiracy of silence?
17205Any man would do that, would n''t he?
17205Are reputable hotels open at midnight to lone women, wet and ragged, who come without baggage either alone or escorted by a man?"
17205Are you framin''Jim for up the river?"
17205Are you ill because of what happened at Maddock''s?"
17205Are you in the habit of going there?"
17205Are you satisfied to have us tell him he can go to the devil?"
17205Are you spoofing me?"
17205Bernstein?"
17205But how?
17205But how?"
17205But if I do that, can you fix the rest?"
17205But is n''t it yore business when she murders American women and children?"
17205But the postmaster does n''t know where he is, does he?"
17205But what is one little bullet in your geography when the sweetest girl in the world is in your arms?
17205But where?
17205But, man, what''s there to think about?
17205Can he do it?"
17205Can you blame me for that?"
17205Can you help me?"
17205Could the grocery man help him run down his party?
17205Delighted to see you and all that, but-- Won''t you go home?"
17205Did he give his name?"
17205Did he intend to do bodily violence to him?
17205Did he say anything to you about going there?"
17205Did you buy control in the market?
17205Did you ever have a real honest- to- God lickin''when you was a boy?"
17205Did you get a slant at him as he went out?"
17205Did you say two, lady?"
17205Did you see that?"
17205Did youse do up''Slim,''or was he kiddin''me?"
17205Did youse see that spark o''the divvle in his eye, and him not fit to crawl into the cab?"
17205Do I have to sashay down a church aisle and promise I do?"
17205Do n''t it look like he ought to stay in control of it?"
17205Do n''t she know a real man when she sees one?
17205Do n''t the stockholders know when they''re well off?"
17205Do n''t you reckon he might, Clay?"
17205Do n''t you reckon you can go?"
17205Do n''t you see?
17205Do n''t yuh know better than to start a fight with a rigiment?"
17205Do you get me, Johnnie?"
17205Do you like yore aigs sunny side up or turned?"
17205Do you reckon any o''them New Yorkers could get away with five dollars''worth of ham and aigs?
17205Do you see now?"
17205Do you think I''m afraid of you because you surround yoreself with dips and yeggmen and hop- nuts, all scum of the gutter and filth of the earth?
17205Durand?"
17205Durand?"
17205Durand?"
17205Either send that girl away-- give her up-- have nothing to do with her, or--""Or--?"
17205Had Durand some card up his sleeve?
17205Had a fine time, did n''t we?
17205Had some one bungled after all the care with which he had laid his plans?
17205Had"Slim''s"nerve failed him?
17205Has she been quarreling with that bounder from Arizona?"
17205Have you or has anybody else heard from him in that time?"
17205Have you seen the police yet, Bromfield?"
17205He was n''t ill, too, was he?"
17205He was your guest, was n''t he, Bromfield?"
17205His enemies had him trapped at last with the help of circumstance, Why bring Bromfield into it?
17205How about that, Kitty?"
17205How about the folks living at Number 121?
17205How about yuh?"
17205How could he be so stupid?"
17205How could he spend fifty dollars-- let alone a hundred-- if he let the skirts and the wheel alone and did n''t tamper with no straight flushes?"
17205How could you, when your life has been so different?"
17205How did he come to be in that gambling- house?
17205How did you and Clay Lindsay come to go to that den?"
17205How did you come to be there?"
17205How''d you ever come to do it?
17205How''d you like that?"
17205I do n''t suppose he asked you to speak to me about it, did he?"
17205If so, in what way?
17205If so, what did that mean?
17205In point of fact, are n''t you holdin''a bunch of proxies because Whitford wrote and asked the stockholders to sign them for you to vote?
17205Is it a range song you were singing?"
17205Is it fur?"
17205Is it late?"
17205Is it pannin''out pay gold?"
17205Left me to die on that hillside?"
17205Lindsay?"
17205Lindsay?"
17205Look at that wall a minute, will you?"
17205Man, do n''t you see I do n''t want to have any more talk about it?
17205Now the question is, what ought she to have done?
17205Or did it lead to a trap?
17205Or had Bromfield been unable to bring the victim to the slaughter?
17205Or shall I?"
17205Or shall we have to get permission from some one?"
17205Or was it yore intention to stop my clock for good?"
17205Say, stick around outside my room half a sec, will you?"
17205Say, was it a good scrap?"
17205Say, wha''s the matter with you bein''Clay''s sister, jes''got in last night on the train?
17205See?
17205See?
17205Shall I ask it again?"
17205Shall I make a pinch?"
17205So Bromfield says he was with me, does he?"
17205Tell me where he''s at?"
17205That takes quite a little finesse, does n''t it?"
17205That the man with him murdered Collins?"
17205The question is, what''s he going to do now?"
17205Then you go to jail, ai n''t it?"
17205Thinks I to myse''f, who is that pilgrim?
17205Three big men torturing a month- old calf-- was this the brave outdoor West she had read about and remembered from her childhood days?
17205Understand?"
17205Wages good?"
17205Want to come along?"
17205Was Jerry in that?"
17205Was he shooting when he got it?"
17205Was he using him as a catspaw to rake in his own chestnuts?
17205Was it possible for him to work with them under cover?
17205Was it possible that he could have killed the fellow at the first shot?
17205Was it possible that there had been a slip- up, that Lindsay had again broken through the trap set for him?
17205Was n''t it dear of him?"
17205Was the note genuine?
17205Was there a covert but derisive jeer concealed in that smooth assent?
17205Was there or was there not a faint note of malice in the girl''s voice?
17205Was you- all havin''trouble?"
17205Well, right after that I heerd a man say how the lady had fainted--""What lady?"
17205Well, then?
17205Well, what''s my cue?
17205Were you with him when-- when it happened?"
17205Wha''s it matter?
17205Wha''s the matter with to- morrow?"
17205Wha''s the matter with us hittin''the dust for good old Tucson?
17205Wha''s the matter with you?"
17205What are you trying to do?
17205What can I do for you?"
17205What could it be that he was afraid Clay had told her?
17205What crazy impulses sent them surging to and fro?
17205What did motor- cars or wine- suppers or Paris gowns matter?
17205What do you mean, Johnnie Green?"
17205What do you think about it, yourself?"
17205What do you think?
17205What for?
17205What has it brought him but trouble?
17205What have they done with Kitty?
17205What is it?"
17205What is the use of living in Bohemia if one can not be free to follow impulse?
17205What kind of a man was his enemy to lie there in the black silence and not once give a sign of where he was, in spite of crashing bullets?
17205What more likely than that he had arranged to have her spirited away?
17205What of it?"
17205What sort of a chance did I ever have, with toughs and gunmen for me friends?"
17205What was it they all knew except Lindsay''s friends?
17205What was the use of gettin''him in bad?"
17205What were the folks like in this part of the country that you could n''t speak to them without getting insulted?
17205What would he be doing in a gambling- dive?"
17205What would she think of him when the news came that he was a murderer, caught by the police in a den of vice where he had no business to be?
17205What''s ailin''you, rube?"
17205What''s eatin''you?
17205What''s that?"
17205What''s the damage?"
17205What''s there in it for me to go rappin''me friend?"
17205What''s there in it?
17205Whatta you want?"
17205When did you see him last?"
17205Where could I have taken her at that time of night?
17205Where do I come in at?
17205Where do I come in on this rescue- the- be- eutiful heroine act?"
17205Where had he gone from here?
17205Where is she?"
17205Where was he going?"
17205Where would he have Kitty taken?
17205Where you been at, you old skeezicks?"
17205Where''s he at?"
17205Where''s the bullet?"
17205Which is it?"
17205Whitford?"
17205Who d''you t''ink youse are?"
17205Who did he croak?"
17205Who let him in?"
17205Who rapped to''em?"
17205Who the hell are you?
17205Why are you ill now?"
17205Why bring Bromfield into it?
17205Why did n''t Collins get to the telephone?
17205Why did n''t I?
17205Why did you let Clay be accused instead of coming forward at once?"
17205Why did you let us think you did it?"
17205Why do n''t you get in through the roof instead o''the window?"
17205Why do n''t you pick you a good book and enjoy yoreself?
17205Why had he been fool enough to trust Durand?
17205Why had she come to trouble him this morning while he was cowering in fear of the men who would break in to drag him away to prison?
17205Why not let this odd little freak from the West have an interview with him?
17205Why not?
17205Why should I get wrinkles because Germany sunk the Lusitania a month or two ago?
17205Why should he want to do anything more to him?
17205Why should he?"
17205Why was she not with them?
17205Why?
17205Why?"
17205Will he come with you?"
17205Will she be safe here?"
17205Will you bring her to see me this afternoon, Johnnie?"
17205Will you see Annie, Tim?
17205Wo n''t you come over to- morrow and go riding with me?
17205Would n''t a first- class thrashin''with a hawsswhip be about right?"
17205Would n''t you kinda call that interferin''some?
17205Would they cut the rope?
17205You did say you knew the girl, did n''t you?"
17205You fixed up quite an entertainment for me the other night, did n''t you?
17205You wo n''t mind that, will you?"
17205You''ll remember likely how Durand did for Paddy Kelly?
2280Ah, do you not see why I wish to go with you?
2280And YOUR strike?
2280And durin''that time, when you was dried up and waitin''for rain, I reckon you kinder had visions?
2280And is is n''t yours?
2280And was there no Spaniard who ever dug gold?
2280And what proof could you show of your claim?
2280And you did n''t want to go without seeing him?
2280And you do n''t remember sitting down on a stone by the road?
2280And you think I''ll take it now?
2280And you think the passengers will observe us sitting here?
2280And you will not speak of this again?
2280And your own tunnel?
2280And your son?
2280But what will your mother think of that?
2280Did he get off such stuff as that?
2280Did you ever get over it?
2280Did you find out who he was?
2280Do I understand you can not see me now?
2280Do I? 2280 Do n''t you see,"he almost screamed, with passionate vehemence,"it''s MASTERS''ABANDONED TUNNEL your shaft has struck?
2280Do you know that pick?
2280Do you think that your charity will bring back my dead wife, the three years of my lost life, the love and respect of my children? 2280 Eh?"
2280Ez how?
2280Happiness?
2280Have you any idea where the letter is, or what has become of Masters?
2280He is a man of family-- this one-- your countryman?
2280I should think you''d feel real bad?
2280I suppose the likes of your honor wo n''t be at home on the Christmas Day? 2280 If you did n''t say Masters, how could I say it?
2280Is that a compliment, Miss Mulrady?
2280Is your father in business?
2280It is a secret, then?
2280It must have been very shocking to you?
2280It''s dreadful to be placarded around the country by one''s own full name, is n''t it?
2280It''s wrong, ai n''t it?
2280Lawyer Cole says most American names are corrupted, and how do you know that yours ai n''t?
2280Letter?
2280Look yer, Malviny; ai n''t ye rather puttin''on airs with the boys that want to be civil to Mamie? 2280 My daughters?"
2280Not to the man who possesses it?
2280Shall I tell you why?
2280Then what makes you think you know it?
2280Then you consent, Mamie?
2280Then you say that this pick which I found in my shaft is not yours?
2280Then you''re going out somewhere?
2280Then, why in thunder did n''t you open the door or sing out just now?
2280Twelve hundred dollars looks to be a good figger for a dress, ai n''t it? 2280 Two weeks ago?
2280We''re independent ourselves, ai n''t we, Slinn?
2280We?
2280Well, Mamie, how do we like bein''an heiress? 2280 Well?"
2280What am I, then?
2280What did you come here for?
2280What in thunder are you mooning about for? 2280 What is that?"
2280What new ideas?
2280Where''s your daughters?
2280Who is Don Caesar?
2280Who''s been talking about a dowry?
2280Why do n''t you ask them over here?
2280Why would n''t you?
2280Why?
2280Why?
2280Ye have n''t told any one yet?
2280You are sure you do n''t remember walking in the garden before you were ill?
2280You have spoken of it to any one?
2280You knew I''d come?
2280You know Mr. Slinn, of the''Record,said Mamie,"do n''t you?"
2280You know perfectly the contents of that letter?
2280You-- you-- live there?
2280--she stopped, and looked him suddenly in the face--"had you?"
2280And ai n''t they the real first families here-- all the same as if they were noblemen?
2280And what is it to us, my little one?
2280Are you goin''to wait to advertise for the owner, Alvin Mulrady, or are you going to Sacramento at four o''clock to- day?"
2280Did you see Harry?
2280Do you think you can manage to light up a little more, and build a fire in the kitchen while I''m gone?
2280Do you understand?
2280Does n''t the old Don come here every day, and ai n''t his son the right age for Mamie?
2280He stopped, and added in a graver tone,"Does Don Caesar write poetry?"
2280How could he do better?"
2280How do we like layin''over all the gals between this and''Frisco?"
2280How had the crippled man got here so soon, and what did he want?
2280I showed you that pin Mamie bought me in Paris, did n''t I?
2280I wonder what Mamie gave for it?"
2280If she had n''t thought of having them--""For somebody else, you would n''t have had them-- would you?"
2280Is that your idea?"
2280Let''s see-- you have n''t any one you can send to my house, hev you?"
2280Now, what do you make of this?
2280Now,"he added, languidly turning for the first time to his miserable questioners,"how did YOU find it?"
2280Or do you think that your own wife and children, who deserted you in your wealth, will come back to you in your poverty?
2280She knew it; and yet, what was he doing now but taking advantage of that inexperience?
2280Suppose such an accident should happen to him?
2280That''s likely-- ain''t it?"
2280The cavity in the tree had evidently been used as a secret receptacle for letters before; did Mamie know it at the time, and how did she know it?
2280Then, catching sight of Slinn''s pale and anxious face, he added abruptly,"Are you sick?"
2280There,"she added, hastily,"listen!--what''s that?"
2280To be shot too?
2280Was it possible that these ashes might be warmed again, and these scattered embers rekindled?
2280Was she right in making it impossible by a rash and foolish tie?
2280Was she the daughter of her mother, who even in her remembered youth was never equipped like this?
2280Was there any secret previous intimacy between the families?
2280What do you think?"
2280What more could a man want, or should he want?
2280What of that?
2280What''s up?"
2280Why did you ever leave Sacramento to come here?
2280Why had he never thought of this when Slinn was speaking?
2280Why had he not remembered it before?
2280Why had he not thought of it before?
2280Why should she?--because of the half- sick, half- crazy dreams of an old vindictive man?
2280Would THEY have been more comfortable?
2280Would anybody miss him?
2280Would his wife, or his son, or his daughter?
2280echoed Mulrady, slowly;"my wife had a letter of Slinn''s?"
2280is it yours?"
22233Ai n''t it sound and good? 22233 Ai n''t you a little early this year?"
22233An''how are we goin''to do it?
22233And about my being an only child?
22233And if you do not?
22233And now what are you going to do?
22233And that is ruin?
22233And you just let them go through you?
22233Anything new?
22233Are you always in the woods?
22233Are you?
22233But do n''t you think we ought to start back now? 22233 But what shall we do?"
22233But you are going to, are n''t you?
22233But you live in them a great deal?
22233But,cried Severne, in expostulation,"do not these qualities appear in my story?"
22233By the way, did you fellows ever square up on that birling match?
22233Ca n''t I help you?
22233Ca n''t you do things?
22233Can I get a room here fer to- night?
22233Darrell?
22233Did n''t you know you were breaking the law?
22233Did n''t you know you''d be arrested?
22233Do n''t ye know that horses ca n''t be had?
22233Do n''t you know any better than to go into the woods without your bearings? 22233 Do n''t you know that we woodsmen live by our observation?
22233Do n''t you make no fight?
22233Do you know who that is?
22233Do you love him?
22233Do you want them?
22233Does that mean that our engagement is broken?
22233Driver,said he to Billy, as the brakes set for another plunge,"were you ever held up?"
22233Fight? 22233 Fight?"
22233Held up?
22233Held up?
22233Hello, Powers,I greeted him,"I suppose you do n''t remember me?"
22233How did he do it?
22233How is it, Tom?
22233How long is it going to take you?
22233How many did you get?
22233How many is they?
22233How you heeled?
22233How? 22233 I happened to have a limb broken at the time,"Alfred was observing, parenthetically, in his soft tones,"and so----""What kind of a limb?"
22233Is it important?
22233Is n''t there anything I can do, Lucy? 22233 Is n''t your home nearer?"
22233Is that all you want to know about me?
22233It would be a very foolish thing for you to stay, then, would n''t it?
22233May I?
22233Meanin''what?
22233Might I ask yore name?
22233Now what?
22233Now, what''s he tollin''_ me_ for?
22233Oh, it''s you, is it?
22233Oh, now it''s all right, is n''t it?
22233Oh, what is that?
22233Proud?
22233Proud?
22233Right about what?
22233Roaring Dick, eh? 22233 Same old fellow you were in college, are n''t you, Bert?"
22233Say, Hen,said he,"would you stuff it or put it under a glass case?"
22233See what?
22233Then you are on a mission?
22233They''ll saw high and crooked, they''ll chuck the tops-- who are we going to send to scale for''em?
22233To the Adamses or the Maxwells?
22233Up or down?
22233Well, I must be goin'', boys,said Peter, sidling toward the door;"and I''spect I''ll see some of you boys up there?"
22233Well?
22233What are you going to do there?
22233What did Alfred say?
22233What did you do it for?
22233What do you advise?
22233What do you call this?
22233What do you do? 22233 What do you mean?"
22233What do you mean?
22233What do you suppose I care how your foolish imaginary people brush their teeth and button their suspenders and black their boots? 22233 What for?"
22233What in hell are yo''doin''yere, yo''ranikaboo ijit?
22233What is it, Lucy?
22233What is it?
22233What is your name?
22233What is your name?
22233What yo''goin''to do?
22233What''re you doin''there? 22233 What''s that?"
22233What''s the matter with you?
22233What''s the row anyway?
22233What''ve you heard?
22233What?
22233When are you coming to see me?
22233Where are ye goin''?
22233Where are you going?
22233Where are you lost from?
22233Where did you come from just now?
22233Where is the boss?
22233Where is the office?
22233Where th''blazes did ye learn so much of loggin''? 22233 Where''s that damn ol''reprobate?"
22233Which do you mean?
22233Who would be hired at any price to go up in that country on a ten- mile haul?
22233Who''d have a fit? 22233 Who''s th''bucko?"
22233Why ai n''t that log marked?
22233Why did n''t you make a kick?
22233Why do n''t you ever look at me?
22233Why do you stare at that horrid fire?
22233Why should n''t we?
22233Why, who has been telling you about me?
22233Why?
22233Why?
22233Would you jest as soon, ma''am, if it ai n''t troubling you too much, jest nat''rally sort of untie Billy?
22233Ye have finished with this skidway?
22233Yo''ai n''t aimin''to set out to- night?
22233You are a gentleman, are n''t you?
22233You do n''t think there''s any danger, do you?
22233You got all day in front of you,said he;"why do n''t you take a horse and buggy and make a visit to the big jam?
22233You have no office then?
22233A sordid, silly enough little tale, is it not?
22233A streak of punk or rot?
22233Ai n''t it good timber?
22233Am I your long- lost friend?"
22233And Art; oh, where was it?
22233And do you know what he said to me just now,_ me_?
22233And for her, these years?
22233Are you glad?"
22233Besides, you know what Alfred said at our last camp?"
22233But what could she do about it?
22233But when?
22233Could the years have changed her as much?
22233Daly?"
22233Do you have much trouble getting away?
22233Do you see anything peculiar about that tree?"
22233Do you think it''s of vast importance?"
22233Do you think you''d like to take a look at her?"
22233Do you understand?
22233Has you any choice of cayuses for ridin''?"
22233Have you had much fighting?"
22233Have you seen him?"
22233How do I know he played the jack of diamonds on purpose?
22233How do you hope to push through the woods after dark?
22233How long do you calculate the man will require to dig in this manner, fifty, a hundred feet?
22233How long to excavate the numerous lateral tunnels which the Proof demands?
22233How long to sink one or two such shafts on each and every claim he has staked?
22233How?"
22233I s''pose he thinks he''s perticular all hell, do n''t he?"
22233Is n''t he funny?
22233Is there a mark on it?
22233Ketch on?
22233Like all the rest, did I say?
22233Now, you know where I am, why do n''t you tell them and save Billy?"
22233Oftenest?
22233Perhaps she had ceased counting them?
22233Roaring Dick?
22233Scold her good for me when she comes in-- will you?"
22233She was having a high old time; why should n''t she?
22233Then, when he had puffed a few moments in quiet content, he inquired:"How did you come to get lost?"
22233They could not fleece him again in precisely the way they had done so before; but how could he guess at the tricks they had in reserve?
22233They''ll show like a dark streak, down past that butte there-- what''s its name?"
22233To- morrow?
22233Understand?
22233Understand?
22233Understand?"
22233Was it a good one?"
22233Was she getting to be an old woman?
22233Whar do I come in?
22233What can any man do?
22233What can you do?"
22233What do you suppose they''d say if I were to ride out just that way for two miles?
22233What had they meant?
22233What happens?
22233What must I do?"
22233What the hell''s th''matter with it?
22233What was he to do?
22233What was the matter?"
22233What was the use of trying?
22233What was to prevent his making it sixteen?
22233What wonder that he persevered?
22233What wonder that he survived when so many others went down?
22233What would you think of it?
22233What''s the sense of it all, anyway?"
22233Whom could they spare among the greater?
22233Whom could they trust among the lesser foremen of their woods force?
22233Wo n''t this all- night absence alarm your relatives?"
22233Would you not be inclined to suspect that the scaler had cheated you in favour of his master?
22233_ Watch out!_""What?"
22233that you had been compelled by false figures to work a day or so for nothing?
11880''An''how d''you mean that?'' 11880 ''Are you awake?''
11880''Bill Gregg?'' 11880 ''It''s too early, I take it?''
11880''Now what the devil''s the meaning of this?'' 11880 ''Son,''says this fresh kid--""Is this the way you talk to Smith?"
11880''Well,''says Jerry,''d''you think I ca n''t throw you out?'' 11880 ''Who the devil are you?''
11880A robber-- Heaven knows what-- running at large in the house?
11880A woman? 11880 Ah?"
11880Ai n''t my partner here just introduced us?
11880Ai n''t she made a bargain? 11880 Ai n''t there?
11880Ai n''t they got a right to do that?
11880And I suppose you have overhead our entire conversation?
11880And did n''t you expect the same thing? 11880 And he went in?"
11880And he''s to have you, that cold- eyed snake, that devil of a man?
11880And how''s the sick feller coming?
11880And now, sir,he said sternly to Ronicky Doone,"you are aware that I could have placed you in the hands of the police for what you''ve done tonight?"
11880And that''s all you know?
11880And then?
11880And to keep from marrying a man she does n''t love, as she''d try to keep from death?
11880And what are you going to do?
11880And what are you hoping to do?
11880And what do you expect?
11880And what if he does come?
11880And what will a woman fight hardest for?
11880And when Mark stopped you she offered herself in exchange for your freedom?
11880And where did it lead?
11880And where''s he?
11880And why? 11880 And you kept practicing?"
11880And you thought I was a cross between a hoss thief and a gunfighter?
11880And you''d trust him?
11880And you''ll trust me?
11880And, when you''re on the streets with the girl, do you suppose I''ll rest idle and let you walk away with her?
11880Any mail?
11880Are we quite alone?
11880Are you mad-- are you quite mad?
11880Are you making the sacrifice all for me? 11880 Are you staying long in the East, my friend?"
11880Are you trying to make a joke out of this? 11880 Are you?"
11880Are you?
11880As I expected,he said dryly,"I see your faces together-- both together, and actually wasting sympathy on me?
11880As much as that? 11880 As much of a rush as all that to see a girl?"
11880Ask charity of a stranger?
11880At your age? 11880 Bill Gregg?
11880Bill,he said gently,"have you been spending all your time hating me?
11880Bootlegger?
11880Breath?
11880Brother or lover, which shall it be?
11880But I guess that never happened to you, Ronicky?
11880But how can you do that when John Mark has a hold on him?
11880But how come you felt them scars pricking as a bad- luck sign, Ronicky?
11880But is n''t it absurd? 11880 But is there still some more of New York?"
11880But suppose both of you go into that house, and I lose two birds instead of one? 11880 But suppose that feller got away out of sight, what would you do?
11880But the chief?
11880But what did he leave for?
11880But what''s all this mean?
11880But when you saw him in the street, here?
11880But where are they?
11880But where have you been all this time? 11880 But where?"
11880But why ca n''t I get the hoss? 11880 But you ca n''t expect me to assent to that?"
11880But, even if I were to tell her, how could she go, Ronicky Doone, when she''s watched?
11880By Ronicky Doone?
11880Ca n''t he find her and tell her those things for himself?
11880Can you lay over that, Ronicky? 11880 Caroline, are you mad?
11880Caroline,she protested, trying feebly to free herself from the commanding hands and eyes of her companion,"are you quite mad?
11880Caroline? 11880 Close, did you say?"
11880Close?
11880D''you know of one drop of kindness in his nature, lady?
11880D''you know what would have happened out in my neck of the woods, if there had been a game like the one tonight? 11880 D''you know why she looked back over her shoulder?"
11880D''you think I''m a nut to blow what I know? 11880 D''you think that makes any difference?"
11880Did n''t I smell your breath?
11880Did you foller that trail?
11880Did you tell him all that?
11880Do I look to you like a coward?
11880Do I seem to be weak- kneed?
11880Do n''t love you?
11880Do n''t you see that it is her will?
11880Do n''t you see,she went on gently,"that I like you?
11880Do n''t you see?
11880Do we go this way?
11880Do you hear me? 11880 Do you know what I am?"
11880Do you know what we are going to do?
11880Do you know who I am?
11880Do you love him as much as that?
11880Do you mean to tell me you want to stay here and talk? 11880 Do you see that,"asked Ruth quietly of John Mark,"and still it does n''t move you?"
11880Do you suspect me of crooked work?
11880Do you think I keep you at this detestable business because I want the money?
11880Do you think he''s gone back to gambling, Ruth?
11880Do you think she''d listen?
11880Does he have that same effect on every one?
11880Does that make a difference to you?
11880Eh?
11880Eh?
11880First off, what''s the way John Mark uses you?
11880Go break in on''em?
11880Going to have you do books, Bill?
11880Gregg,said Ronicky,"d''you know what you''re going to do now?"
11880Grinning?
11880Has he got a thousand men around him all the time? 11880 Have we got anything special to do with our time?"
11880He took her by force?
11880He''s changed his mind?
11880He''s sent you to tell me that he''s changed his mind, Ruth? 11880 Her name?"
11880Him?
11880How can I tell, if she ai n''t in her room?
11880How come you guessed that?
11880How come you knew we were in there? 11880 How come you know so much about New York?"
11880How come, Ronicky,he asked huskily in his astonishment,"that you got all those and ai n''t dead yet?"
11880How come?
11880How come?
11880How come?
11880How could I ever be really angry with Ronicky? 11880 How do you take it?
11880How does it look to you, Jerry?
11880How far should I go with them?
11880How is your luck?
11880How many of you are there?
11880How much d''you think that''s worth?
11880How much does Jerry owe me?
11880How much is ours?
11880How much would you give to find her?
11880How, Caroline?
11880I am not who?
11880I dunno,said Ronicky;"what happened then?"
11880I have to tell you,said the girl gravely,"if you insist, but wo n''t you take my word for it and ask no more?"
11880I suppose he took you in his arms at once?
11880I suppose you would have Bill Gregg removed-- if he continued a nuisance?
11880I think--"Is he a square sort of gent?
11880I''ve doubted Ronicky before, but look at all that he''s done? 11880 I-- I did n''t really mean to--""Do you know what that joke did?"
11880If he really wanted to come here-- well, did you ever hear of anything Ronicky wanted that he did n''t get?
11880Impossible?
11880In her room?
11880In the name of the dear mercy of Heaven, John, you have n''t done that?
11880In the old days,he said at last,"when a man caught a poacher on his grounds, do you know what he did?"
11880Is it what I think?
11880Is n''t that like Ronicky? 11880 Is n''t there reason enough to make me nervous?"
11880Is n''t this earlier than his usual time for starting the day?
11880Is that against me?
11880Is that all against me? 11880 Is there anything that we can do?"
11880Is there anything that''s gone wrong, far as you see?
11880Is there someone with him?
11880It ai n''t?
11880It is true, Ruth?
11880It was only a joke, then? 11880 It''s all right to sit down and argue and worry, but is n''t it foolish, Ronicky?"
11880It''s easy to pull a gun, eh?
11880It''s true?
11880John,she said,"I know you''re brave, but you wo n''t try to face him?"
11880Lady,said Ronicky gently,"will you hold on one minute?
11880Lady,said Ronicky,"do I look as plumb foolish as that?"
11880Leave Caroline?
11880Lefty?
11880Listen here,said Bill Gregg,"ai n''t there police in this town?"
11880Meaning that I''m liable to put an end to your stay?
11880Meaning,said Ronicky,"that, because I''ve done a good turn for Gregg, I''d better look out for him?"
11880More? 11880 My guns, is Ronicky plumb nutty?
11880Not even the color of her eyes?
11880Not free, my dear? 11880 Not free?"
11880Not in his room?
11880Not lost you?
11880Now, my dear, foolish girl,said the master thief, smiling benevolently upon her,"what have you been doing tonight to make us all miserable?"
11880Of course, I''m glad to talk to you, Mr. Doone, but why not here?
11880Of him?
11880Oh,she asked,"would you say a thing like that?
11880Only because Caroline was foolish are you going to--"Caroline? 11880 Only that?"
11880Or have you a choice?
11880Run away and leave you here?
11880Ruth was coming with you?
11880Say, you ai n''t figuring on going back to him?
11880Scars? 11880 Several thousand, Ronicky?
11880Shall I see if I can turn them away without playing?
11880She made that promise so that you could go free, Caroline?
11880She paid the price?
11880She was going to cut away from that life and start over-- is that straight, Caroline?
11880Shot?
11880Shot?
11880So he sends another man to risk his life to find me and tell me about it?
11880Suppose I get down to cases and name names? 11880 Suppose he were to come up behind the door and hear you talk about him like this, Northup?
11880Suppose we find some?
11880Suppose,Ruth said,"I were to offer to stay?"
11880Take off this gent''s hat, will you?
11880Tell me if Bill means anymore to you than any stranger?
11880Tell me straight, now, where''s Ruth Tolliver?
11880Tell me straight,said Ronicky,"what sort of a hold has he got over you?
11880That fact,said Fernand hotly,"is the reason you have dared to act like a wild man in my place?
11880That''s the second man, the one who stopped her on the street today?
11880The basilisk, eh?
11880The gent that smiles, eh?
11880The kind you''d trust?
11880The main question is, where do you intend to walk?
11880The man you want?
11880Then the thing for us to do is to get set and wait for them to make an attack?
11880Then why are you here hunting for her? 11880 Then you figure the same as me-- we''re lost?"
11880There''s no one here?
11880They''re married?
11880Think I''m doing this on my own hook?
11880Those are orders?
11880To me?
11880Together? 11880 Unless you wish to talk to me longer?"
11880Was the skunk laughing at me?
11880Well, you are going to persuade her to go to Bill Gregg?
11880Well,he asked,"now that you''ve seen, how do you like it?
11880Well,he said, and his words were far more violent than the smooth voice,"well, idiot, what did she do?"
11880Well?
11880Well?
11880Well?
11880Well?
11880Well?
11880What are you going to do?
11880What can have happened down there?
11880What could they do? 11880 What d''you think, Ronicky?"
11880What did you do to Harry Morgan?
11880What do you intend by that?
11880What do you know?
11880What do you mean?
11880What do you think about it?
11880What do you think of him?
11880What do you think of the fellow with Jerry Smith?
11880What does he mean by a safe exit?
11880What first?
11880What happened?
11880What is it?
11880What is it?
11880What kind of a place? 11880 What made Mark change his mind about you?"
11880What on earth have I and my affairs got to do with you? 11880 What shall I do, Ruth?"
11880What sort of a man are you?
11880What they got to laugh about? 11880 What''d you do that for?"
11880What''s a passive verb, Bill?
11880What''s happened?
11880What''s she look like?
11880What''s the idea? 11880 What''s the matter?
11880What''s wrong with that?
11880What''s wrong, Ronicky?
11880What? 11880 What?"
11880When is he coming back?
11880Where''s a fair- to- medium place to stop at?
11880Which is it?
11880Which might not lead you across to the house on the other side?
11880Which side?
11880Which was?
11880Who else in the world would I care about for an instant? 11880 Why does n''t Caroline come back?"
11880Why not?
11880Why not?
11880Why should n''t I tell you?
11880Why should this dare- devil be destined to hunt me? 11880 Why, Ronicky,"protested Bill Gregg,"ai n''t you making it a little strong?
11880Why?
11880Why?
11880Why?
11880Why?
11880Wo n''t you wait till the morning?
11880Wo n''t you wait?
11880Yes, but--"Is he the kind that would stick to the girl he loved and take care of her, through thick and thin?
11880You ai n''t going to take the bay without getting leave from Doone?
11880You ca n''t beat a deal like that, eh, Macklin? 11880 You come up from the South, maybe?"
11880You followed his trail?
11880You guess what?
11880You have guessed all that about me?
11880You know him?
11880You know the name, eh?
11880You know what he''s done with that picture of yours?
11880You marry him?
11880You remember the old Greek fable, Ruth? 11880 You see how much I respect Ronicky Doone''s fighting properties?
11880You sure are an expert on the ladies, Macklin, and I''ll bet you did n''t miss her name?
11880You think Ronicky Doone is a gambler?
11880You think he attempted to break into the house?
11880You think he was an amateur robber and an expert prize fighter?
11880You think that?
11880You went down to the street, all prepared to meet up with poor old Bill--"Prepared to meet him?
11880You wonder why I gave such orders when I dread Doone-- when I so dread Doone-- when I so heartily want him out of my way forever? 11880 You''d murder me if I took another step?"
11880You''re pretty straight, Ronicky,he said,"but what good does it do for two gents to look for a needle in a haystack?
11880You''ve found the place so soon?
11880You?
11880Your reading tell you anything about the hotels in this here town?
11880''Lefty''and Monahan think you went flop on the job, but I know better, eh?
11880''No,''says she,''and if she was, what''s that to you?''
11880A dozen miles of houses, one right next to the other?"
11880A kid like you with scars?"
11880After that she forgot Ronicky Doone and the rest of the world except Gregg, as he took her in his arms and asked over and over:"How did it come about?
11880After you''ve done all that are you going to give up now?
11880Ai n''t that right?
11880Ai n''t that something done?
11880Ai n''t that the simplest way of working it out?"
11880Ai n''t that the straight of it?"
11880Am I right?"
11880Am I right?"
11880Am I to suppose that Caroline was your teacher?"
11880And he has me still in the hollow of his hand, do you see?
11880And maybe even one will be a sort of a shock, eh?"
11880And now, what is it you wish?"
11880And the third time--""You''ve prepared even for his coming here?"
11880And then, from the shadow of that meager opening a voice was saying:"Who''s there?"
11880And this is what they call a civilized town?
11880And was there some relation between all of these and the man who sneered?
11880And we ca n''t tunnel out the side, without so much as a pin to help us dig, can we?
11880And what brought you to me?
11880And what d''you think happened?"
11880And what d''you think they answered back?"
11880And what would I be without Ronicky?
11880And who the devil are you, Doone?
11880Are you out of the West?''
11880Are you willing to take the risk?"
11880Besides, could we send off a blast of dynamite in a closed tunnel like this?"
11880But do you see what it means, Caroline?
11880But how could he outguess a band of trained criminals?
11880But how much more, lady?"
11880But out there in the mountains you follow long trails, trails that have n''t anything but a hope to lead you along them?
11880But speak again-- do you make the offer?"
11880But tell us straight, what is it?"
11880But where''ll we get the money?"
11880But why did n''t you tell me what you wanted?"
11880Can you comprehend it?
11880Can you do that?"
11880Can you remember?"
11880Can you tell me that?"
11880Can you tell us?"
11880Can you?"
11880D''you know what she said?"
11880Did he dare take the chance?
11880Did he get coal dust on his shoes?"
11880Did n''t they tell you that that was the style back East, to have spats like that on?"
11880Did she say anything more, anything about where she expected to be living in New York?"
11880Did you look across the street and see a sign a while ago?"
11880Do I gather the drift of the story fairly well?
11880Do n''t you see that if I let Bill Gregg come near me--""Then Bill will be in danger of this same wolf of a man, eh?
11880Do n''t you see?"
11880Do n''t you think she''s ready and willing to live up to it?
11880Do they do so much for their friends?"
11880Do you doubt it?
11880Do you know much about boats?"
11880Do you know what I have done with the money you''ve won?"
11880Do you know why?
11880Do you see what it means?
11880Do you see?"
11880Do you think they can reach me?
11880Do you think you can sit at the table with Ronicky Doone, as they call him, and Jerry Smith and win from them this evening?"
11880Do you think you can?"
11880Do you want starlight and John Mark-- or a little stretch of darkness, all by yourself?"
11880Does that bring you what you want?"
11880Does that give you an idea of the sort of man he is?"
11880Does that mean anything to you?"
11880Eh?"
11880Eh?"
11880Ever hear the story about the gent that took pity on the snake that was stiff with cold and brought the snake in to warm him up beside the fire?
11880Ever see this girl around?"
11880Everything about what?"
11880Fix''em up here?"
11880For the last time, will you stand up like your old brave self?"
11880Free, John?"
11880Go to him?
11880Had Lefty found discretion the better part of valor and let him go by unhindered?
11880Had he not merely guessed?
11880Had he seen an enemy to chastise, or an old friend to greet, or a pretty girl?
11880Had he sent his follower away, merely to avoid having it known that a man had taken shelter in the room of the girl he loved?
11880Had not Caroline been persuaded under his very eyes by this strange Westerner?
11880Had the clever devil guessed at the truth so easily?
11880Had they come already to find out what kept the senseless victim so long?
11880Has he run off with her?"
11880Has n''t he given me a chance to live a clean life?
11880Has n''t he given me this big free open West to live in?
11880Has she come back, Rose?"
11880Hated?
11880Have you had breakfast?
11880He added gently:"But maybe she do n''t want you to find her?"
11880He added:"Can you ever be happy without her, man?"
11880He said--""How tall was he?"
11880He spoke more to himself than to her, and then directly:"Will you let me walk up with you?"
11880He''s brushed Kruger out of his way--""Not entirely,"said John Mark calmly,"not entirely, you see?"
11880He''s the kind that''s happy when he''s being of use to others?"
11880He''s trim you down nicely, eh?"
11880He-- he''s a-- very fine- looking fellow, do n''t you think, Caroline?"
11880His smile faded a little, as she murmured, with her glance going past him:"Then I am free?
11880How big is she?"
11880How can I say?"
11880How can I?"
11880How can a gent have any idea which way he ought to step in a pinch?
11880How come you to get down here?
11880How come you to risk everything you got to let us out through the treasure room of Mark''s gang?"
11880How could she admit her cowardice which had accepted Ruth''s great sacrifice?
11880How could she tell the truth?
11880How could we start to hit the trail?"
11880How d''you figure that I had better begin?''
11880How did Caroline get out of her room-- and with you, Ruth?"
11880How did it come about?"
11880How much had it betrayed, she wondered, of her guiltily stealthy pace?
11880How much had they guessed as to the identity of this night visitor?
11880How much had they seen?
11880How quick can you go, Caroline?"
11880How, under heaven, did he know where she had gone when she left the gaming house?
11880I asked her nice and polite if a lady named Caroline Smith was in the house?
11880I guess that narrows it down pretty close, does n''t it, Bill?"
11880I guess you ca n''t beat this layout, gents?"
11880I suppose he''ll instantly abduct you and sweep you away from beneath my eyes?"
11880I suppose you fellows have some crooked work on hand for her?"
11880I''ve wasted time enough on you and your brat of a brother, and now a Western lout is to spoil what I''ve done?
11880If you have to talk to her, why not do the talking here?"
11880Is Doone out of town with it?"
11880Is it a go?"
11880Is it because you sit here all day blaming me for all the things that have happened to you?"
11880Is it clear?
11880Is it to be a handshaking or fighting?''
11880Is n''t that simple?"
11880Is n''t that so?"
11880Is n''t that typical?"
11880Is that a good bargain?"
11880Is that right?
11880Is that right?"
11880Is that square?"
11880Is that the name?
11880Is that true?"
11880Is that what keeps you thin and glum?
11880Is there anything else?"
11880It was somebody you met somewhere-- on the train, perhaps, and you could n''t help smiling at him, eh?
11880It''s because of Caroline Smith?"
11880John Mark it was, eh?"
11880Know him?"
11880Know him?"
11880Lady, you sure know Bill Gregg, and what do you think of him?"
11880Let me pour you some tea?
11880Let''s take a chance on what we''ve got ahead of us?"
11880Mark was saying,"what''s this?
11880Mind if we fire a few questions?"
11880Must he give up McKeever?
11880Never failed?
11880New Yorkers wo n''t travel so far, will they?
11880No?"
11880Now may I sit down?"
11880Now what about Caroline?
11880Or did he know?
11880Perhaps he had been set on by Fernand or Mark to entangle and confuse her?
11880Pretty clever to leave that little pile of dirt on the floor, just like it had been worked off by the picks, eh?
11880Promise me that?"
11880Put you into the world, then, and let you see men and women?
11880Ronicky Doone is a different sort of man, do n''t you think?"
11880Ronicky Doone, Ronicky Doone, was there ever your like under the wide, wide sky?
11880Ruth, are you laughing at me?"
11880Ruth, is that what you think of me?"
11880See?"
11880She asked bluntly:"What are you guessing at?"
11880She only said:"Are men like this in the West?
11880She would n''t come?"
11880She''s pretty wet, but sweat never hurt nothing on four feet, eh?"
11880Smith?"
11880So he came in exactly that way, like a robber, but really only to keep a tryst with his lady love?
11880So let me go out and look around, will you, Bill?
11880So rich in happiness that you can waste time on me?"
11880So they came out of the big station to Forty- second Street, where they found themselves confronted by a taxi driver and the question:"Where?"
11880So we sure ca n''t tunnel out from the sides, can we?"
11880So, right after I got this drilling through the leg, you remember, I wrote a letter?"
11880Someone who pretty well knew we were in town, who wanted to keep you away from Bill because he was afraid--""Of what?"
11880Suppose I call once what''ll happen to you, pal?"
11880Suppose he, alone, entered that house tonight by stealth, like a burglar, and found what he could find?
11880Suppose it were someone else?
11880That was a queer answer, was n''t it?"
11880That''s all he''s got to do-- just find a''lost mine?''
11880That''s what I can prove now, but why waste time?"
11880The story about all the pains and torments which flew out of Pandora''s box, and how Hope came out last-- that blessed Hope-- and healed the wounds?
11880Then you boys must be used to your toddy at night, eh?"
11880They will find out-- they will guess-- and then--""John Mark?"
11880Thinking is a bad thing, mostly, do n''t you agree, Ronicky?"
11880This brought from Ronicky a sudden question:"And what of her?
11880Understand?
11880Very effective help, too, do n''t you agree?"
11880Was there ever the least wish of yours since you were a child that I did not gratify?
11880We''ll travel there, Ronicky, eh?"
11880Well"--this in a manner of great resignation--"how much shall I let them take away?"
11880What bought him off?
11880What can you do for us?"
11880What could I do in the world except what you''ve taught me to do?
11880What d''you say?"
11880What did the youngster know?
11880What difference does that make?
11880What do you want with her?"
11880What had Simonds guessed?
11880What had happened to Ruth in that hour?
11880What had he guessed?
11880What if all that happened?"
11880What is it, Ruth?"
11880What is it?"
11880What name did he give?"
11880What of Ruth Tolliver?
11880What of that, my clever Ruth?"
11880What part d''you come from where they teach you to kill a hoss when you ride it?
11880What scars?"
11880What should he say?
11880What sort of a stream is this East River, though?"
11880What was it?
11880What would have happened to me in New York?
11880What''ll we do with him?"
11880What''s the dope?"
11880When can you start with me?"
11880When would he strike?
11880Where did John Mark get his sudden strength?
11880Where''ll he get the money to sink the shaft?"
11880Where''s Doone''s hoss?"
11880Where''s Mark and the girl?
11880Where''s Ruth Tolliver?"
11880Which is it?"
11880Who are you?"
11880Who can tell that?
11880Who could tell how much she risked by giving him that warning?
11880Who does anything but hate him?
11880Who was he?
11880Why else did you leave New York?"
11880Why had he never met a man like that before?
11880Why have I got something to do with you?
11880Why is it, my dear?"
11880Why should I?
11880Why was I picked out for the dirty work?"
11880Why will you stay?
11880Why, in Heaven''s name, are you interfering with Caroline Smith and her affairs?
11880Will you do that?"
11880Will you do that?"
11880Will you do your best?"
11880Will you go back tonight, right now, and persuade Caroline to go with you?"
11880Will you let me ask you a few more questions?"
11880Will you let me come back?"
11880Will you shake on that?"
11880Will you talk?"
11880Will you try, Ruth?"
11880Will you wait?"
11880Would you like that better?
11880You came for that?"
11880You did n''t mean it, John?
11880You follow me, lady?
11880You hear?
11880You hear?"
11880You see?
11880You see?
11880You see?"
11880You see?"
11880You seen him go up those steps to that house?"
11880You understand that all the years I have been with you I have never been free?"
11880You understand that, of course?"
11880You understand?
11880You understand?"
11880You understand?"
11880You understand?"
11880You understand?"
11880You''re as nervous as a child tonight, Ruth?"
11880You-- you are in love with Caroline?"
14574A guard?
14574Ai n''t he?
14574Ai n''t it scandalous the way she bosses us all around, Bob?
14574Ai n''t that enough without rubbin''it in?
14574Ai n''t that like Dug, the damned double- crosser?
14574Ai n''t you goin''to leave me trail along?
14574Alone?
14574And Juan-- is it all right about him?
14574And if they knew that, why would n''t they ride either up or down the ditch and leave no tracks a- tall?
14574And it''s crossed San Jacinto?
14574And when will that be?
14574And you want?

14574Why not in the dry ditch back of the cotton woods?
14574Why not? 14574 Why not?
14574Why not?
14574Why would I do that when you''re not hurt?
14574Why, you got to protect yoreself, Dug, ai n''t you?

14574You taking this tram?
14574You the train dispatcher?
14574You''d better go, do n''t you reckon?
14574You''ll stand his crowd off?
14574You''re not... hiding any wounds from me? 14574 You-- what?"
14574A deputy sheriff, perhaps?"
14574Ai n''t you got any red blood in that big body of yore''s?"

14574Are n''t we all forever getting into trouble and getting out of it?
14574Bob here yet?"
14574But how can we be if you give up like a quitter?
14574By the way, how''s yore fishin''job comin''on?"
14574Ca n''t you go uptown and''phone out to the stockyards?

14574Crawford?"
14574Crawford?"
14574Did he mean to make him pay with his life for the thing he had done?
14574Did his foe have the house surrounded with his range- riders?
14574Did n''t Brad give you orders to open the sluices to make you a swimmin''hole?"
14574Did n''t you know?"
14574Did n''t you locate properly?"
14574Did n''t you sabe that come- on stuff?
14574Did they come close to getting you?"
14574Did you ever hear tell of an unarmed man chargin''a guy with a gun spittin''at him?"
14574Do n''t we all have to keep beginning our lives over and over again?
14574Do n''t you think maybe they''re trying to keep him from proving up?"
14574Do you dare tell me that my dad would n''t be worth loving if he''d been in prison forty times?"
14574Do you really truly love me, Dave?"
14574Do you want to go back and ride for the Fifty- Four Quarter Circle?"
14574Does n''t deny it none, does he?"
14574Ees she at home?"
14574Ever hear''em mention it?"
14574Ever notice how things are that way?
14574Fellow said to me one day,''How''s it come, Thomas, you most always call the turn?''
14574Fire got a good start, you say?"
14574Get that, Sanders?
14574Got a kink in yore casin''?"
14574Graham?"
14574Had Dug fired the brush while his companion was saddling for the start?
14574Had he not dragged Miller back to justice-- Miller who was a killer of unsavory reputation?
14574Had it come to a showdown?
14574Have you found a market yet?"
14574Have you got anything against me?"
14574He''s been hurt bad and ai n''t takin''no chances whatever, do n''t you reckon?"
14574He''s in this Jackpot company too, is n''t he?"
14574How about it, Sanders?
14574How could he help it?"
14574How do we know they got the old man a prisoner there?
14574How does he look?"
14574How is little Keith comin''on?"
14574How much is it?"
14574How would that story listen in court?"
14574Howcome you here?"
14574I reckon your hills ai n''t so uncurried down there, are they?"
14574If so, what was he in for?
14574If the fire had started back of Bear Cañon, what agency had set it going?
14574If you was attacktin''us, would n''t you come that way?"
14574Is that fair?"
14574Just once?"
14574Kent?"
14574Lend me a lighter one, ca n''t you?"
14574Luck, I call it, but--""Laugh, do they?"
14574Might as well drift back to Malapi, do n''t you reckon?"
14574Mither o''Moses, phwat was it hit us?"
14574Mr. Crawford, you''d better get back to town, do n''t you think?
14574My God, did I kill him?"
14574Oh, Mr. Sanders, is n''t it good?"
14574On what side of the cañon is the fire running?"
14574Or are you plumb scared of my broomtail?"
14574Or should he go down at once and try to find out what those voices might tell him?
14574Sanders?"
14574Say, Mr. West, if I find a hawss that''s been stole from me, how can I get it back?"
14574Say, do you know when they''re expectin''Shiloh Number Two in?"
14574Say, if I keep movin''where''ll this road take me?"
14574See?"
14574She added, in a hesitant murmur,"You won''t-- misunderstand?"
14574Shorty gone yet?"
14574Should he stop to explore the upper story?
14574Suit you?"
14574Sure it got a good start?"
14574Tea or cloffee?"
14574That''s liable to put a crimp in Em''s bank roll, do n''t you reckon?"
14574The jury said he was guilty, did n''t it?"
14574The squat cowpuncher''s eyes moved back to the aspens and found there the owner of the D Bar Lazy R."Wha''dya want?"
14574Then I says--""When?"
14574Then when had the fire started?
14574These fellows may be overplayin''their hand, do n''t you reckon?"
14574Think I do n''t know?
14574This any business of yours, by the way, Em?"
14574True, ai n''t it?
14574Un''erstand?"
14574Understand?
14574Up or down, which?"
14574Was her father dead?
14574Was it reasonable to suppose that some one else had been camping close to them?
14574Was she fanning to flame banked fires better dormant?
14574Was that or was it not smoke just over the brow of the hill?
14574Was the water good this evenin''?
14574We better get scrapers up and run a trail along the top o''the ridge, do n''t you reckon?"
14574We''re liable to discover something, do n''t you reckon?"
14574We''ve got to give him a chance when he comes out, have n''t we?"
14574Well, I already ast this one?"
14574Were they armed?
14574West?"
14574West?"
14574What about it?"
14574What about that fire?
14574What about?"
14574What did he do?"
14574What do you figure as the daily output of the gusher?"
14574What do you take me for?
14574What does Doc Green say?"
14574What else can be said of a town with derricks built through its front porches and even the graveyard leased to a drilling company?
14574What evidence does he claim?"
14574What excuse we got for attacktin''a peaceable house?
14574What have you done with her?"
14574What more do you know about him?"
14574What name?"
14574What say we outfit in the mornin''and pull our freights?
14574What shock was awaiting her in the cabin?
14574What time d''you say this hold- up took place?"
14574What was going to take place between these men?
14574What will Mr. Sanders think?
14574What you doin''?
14574What you want?"
14574What''ll you have, boy?"
14574What''re your eyes for?"
14574What''s become of him?"
14574What''s eatin''you, pard?"
14574What''s our next move, son?"
14574What''s wrong?"
14574What''s yore name?"
14574What''s yore programme, then?"
14574When did you see him last?"
14574When will you send the bwidle?"
14574Where are the stockyards?"
14574Where did Em get the ten thousand to pay the bank?
14574Where did you leave Miss Crawford?"
14574Where in Mexico you been, old alkali?
14574Where is she?"
14574Where was you?"
14574Where were you yesterday?"
14574Where_ is_ that note?
14574Who are you?"
14574Who says so?"
14574Who turned the water in?
14574Who wants me?"
14574Who was with you?"
14574Who was with you?"
14574Who''s that knockin''on the door, Joy?"
14574Why ca n''t I just take the hawss?
14574Why ca n''t he be-- human?"
14574Why could n''t he''a''showed up a half- hour later, dad gum his ornery hide?"
14574Why had he not appeared at the door?
14574Why n''t you come to me soon as you... got out of a job?
14574Why not be sure of his line of communications with the roof before going too far?
14574Why should I trust you to help take a trainload of my cattle through?"
14574Why would n''t the secretary and field superintendent of the Jackpot Company keep the daughter of the president informed?
14574Why?"
14574Whyn''t you answer our letters, you darned old scalawag?
14574Will you be all right till I get back?"
14574Wo n''t you come in and have an ice- cream soda on me?"
14574Would the gambler recognize his old enemy?
14574You believe that, do n''t you?"
14574You did n''t slip one over on us and go to college, did you?"
14574You do n''t reckon those fellows would bear me any grudge, do you?"
14574You goin''to have him hawg- tied and shipped as freight?"
14574You got the sand to cover that?
14574You wo n''t mind, will you?"
14574You''re not parlor- shy, are you?
17043A man can change his mind, Chet, ca n''t he?
17043Alive?
17043Am I not to do any of the work?
17043Am I the only man that ever rustled? 17043 Am I?"
17043And Brad?
17043And all the boys?
17043And do n''t know where it is?
17043And the kid lit his cigarette while Meldrum, crazy as a hydrophobia skunk, had his gun trained on him?
17043And what am I to do while you are inside?
17043And you''ve always lived here?
17043And you''ve found out--?
17043Anybody live up Chicito? 17043 Anything new, Hal?"
17043Are any of the Rutherfords back of that clump of aspens?
17043Are n''t you going to tell dad about it, Boots?
17043Are you John Beaudry''s son-- him that was fighting sheriff of Washington County twenty years ago?
17043Are you deef and dumb?
17043Are you going up or down?
17043Are you sure that was your only reason?
17043Are you sure you wo n''t be ashamed of me, dear?
17043Are you wounded? 17043 Been selling windmills long?"
17043But ai n''t she the little spitfire? 17043 But if he was so game, why did n''t Beaudry go back and take Meldrum''s gun from him?"
17043But supposing the Rutherfords had found it?
17043But what if they suspected me?
17043But what''s he doing up here?
17043But which of you--?
17043But why should they kidnap Mr. Dingwell? 17043 But-- if they see us and shoot?"
17043But-- what''s broke? 17043 By the Rutherford gang?"
17043Ca n''t he go when he wants to, Hal? 17043 Can I?"
17043Can you rustle me a pair of boots from one of the boys, Dave? 17043 Come back to sit in our game, Dave?"
17043Could n''t you take Mr. Street over to see Jess to- morrow morning?
17043Dave did n''t tell your father that I had to be flogged into going, did he? 17043 Did I mention the Rutherfords?"
17043Did n''t he?
17043Did n''t you take him out driving? 17043 Did n''t you- all say he was good as dead?"
17043Did they see you?
17043Did we?
17043Did you ever see such a little thoroughbred?
17043Did you say that Beulah Rutherford sent you up here?
17043Do n''t they? 17043 Do n''t you know you''re liable to give the new firm, Dingwell& Beaudry, a bad name if you pull off insurrections like that?
17043Do n''t you?
17043Do n''t you?
17043Do they say we robbed the express company?
17043Do with you?
17043Do you dare say that my people-- my father-- would torture anybody? 17043 Do you like it here?"
17043Do you mean that?
17043Do you mean to say that-- that my people--?
17043Do you see any way in?
17043Do you suspect some one?
17043Do you think I do n''t know what happened back there at the prospect hole? 17043 Do you think Mr. Street is a horse- thief that you ask him so many questions?"
17043Do you think it likely? 17043 Do you think we''re clairvoyants?
17043Do you think we''ve only your silly pride to consider? 17043 Do you?"
17043Ever hear of a young fellow called Cherokee Street?
17043Every little thing all right, son?
17043For what?
17043Forgotten what?
17043Getting soft in your upper story? 17043 Had you been drinking that time at the depot?"
17043Hal, will you get Mr. Street''s horse?
17043Has everybody in the park got to know we''re hiding Dingwell here? 17043 Have n''t you?"
17043Have you been building a church since I last met up with you?
17043Have you forgotten, too?
17043Have you got a warrant for Chet''s arrest?
17043Home to- night?
17043Home, eh? 17043 How about Ned?
17043How about it, son? 17043 How about that gunnysack?
17043How about the boys-- and Uncle Buck-- and Brad Charlton?
17043How can you say such a thing about yourself when everybody knows that you''re the bravest man in Washington County?
17043How come that?
17043How dare you, Brad Charlton?
17043How did Miss Rutherford know that Meldrum was coming here?
17043How did you guess it? 17043 How do I know what a spy would do?
17043How do you know you''re going to find it?
17043How do you know?
17043How?
17043How?
17043How?
17043Huerfano Park?
17043Hurt any?
17043I know what''s ailing you? 17043 If I help you to escape, will you swear to say nothing that will hurt my father or anybody else in the park?"
17043If it is n''t I can stay away, ca n''t I? 17043 If you find I do n''t suit you, will you let me know?"
17043In the park?
17043Is Buck going to join this Sunday- School of yours?
17043Is every little thing all right, neighbor?
17043Is it better now-- less painful?
17043Is it true that you-- that they did n''t give you anything to eat?
17043Is n''t Blacky there? 17043 Is n''t it possible that he is what he says he is?"
17043Is n''t it wonderful how brave they are? 17043 Is n''t she always on the job when she''s needed?
17043Is n''t there a room where I can sleep here?
17043Is n''t there?
17043Is that all? 17043 Is that any of your business?
17043Is there any way for Miss Rutherford to get over to your horse?
17043Is this a poker game or a conversazione, gentlemen? 17043 It is your hat, is n''t it, Mr.--Street?"
17043Knew what? 17043 Like it?"
17043Mean? 17043 Meaning Meldrum?"
17043Meaning that I was in the party that pulled it off?
17043Miss Beulah, do you want that meat done in a pot roast?
17043Never happened to meet the son of John Beaudry, did you?
17043No hurry, is there?
17043None of the boys been deviling you?
17043Not thinking of leaving me, are you?
17043Old- timer, what about you? 17043 Or expect to have any?"
17043Quit your two- stepping, ca n''t you?
17043Revenge-- on Jeff Rutherford-- or who?
17043Rutherford is going to frame me, is he? 17043 Say, are you a client?"
17043Say, is it any of your business how I play my cards?
17043See Jess Tighe? 17043 Shall I?
17043So you fell in, eh?
17043So you''re expecting Sweeney, are you? 17043 Son, did you ever look into that girl''s eyes?
17043Stung you up some, did I? 17043 Sure he did n''t?"
17043Sure of that?
17043Sure you can afford to waste so much time?
17043That is what you call yourself, is n''t it-- Street?
17043That so? 17043 That''s how you show your gratitude, is it?
17043That''s probably why you insult me?
17043The Rutherfords, the same ones that--?
17043Then how did you get back up the arroyo when it was watched?
17043Then what does it matter about our fathers? 17043 Then where is the body?"
17043Then why worry?
17043Then you are--?
17043They''re not hurt badly, are they?
17043Think he''s easy, do you?
17043Think they''ll help you?
17043Think you''d better go so far with your bad ankle, honey?
17043This gentleman-- Mr.--?
17043Tighe and Meldrum-- Who are they?
17043To your friends, then?
17043Trying to pass the buck, Hal? 17043 W- w- what are you doing here?"
17043W-- what''s the other way?
17043Was I unconscious?
17043Was it while you was visiting up at Santa Fe you learnt that habit of seeing yore neighbors hanged, Dan?
17043We''re not going to stay here to- night, are we?
17043Well, what does that prove?
17043Were you born here?
17043Were you calling me, missie?
17043Were you too paralyzed to move down at the arcade of the Silver Dollar?
17043Were-- any of the boys in it, dad?
17043Whad you doing here?
17043Whadjamean?
17043What I meant was, did you like your year outside at school?
17043What about him?
17043What about me, Hal? 17043 What am I to do, then?"
17043What are you going to do up there?
17043What are you going to do with me?
17043What are you going to do?
17043What are you going to try to do?
17043What are you waiting for?
17043What deviltry are you and Brad up to now? 17043 What did happen that could come between you and me to- night?"
17043What do we know, Pat?
17043What do you care where he is going? 17043 What do you mean that he knows too much?
17043What do you mean-- disappeared?
17043What do you reckon the son of John Beaudry would be doing here?
17043What do you think I am?
17043What does it matter whether I like it? 17043 What else can you do?
17043What for? 17043 What gunnysack, Hal?
17043What has Chet done?
17043What have you done, Chet? 17043 What is he spying here for?"
17043What is it, dad?
17043What is it, honey?
17043What is it? 17043 What is it?
17043What man? 17043 What part of the country do you want us to work?"
17043What sort of trouble?
17043What will they do to her when she gets back?
17043What will they do-- after they get over it?
17043What word shall I substitute?
17043What''s ailin''you, Rutherford?
17043What''s ailing you?
17043What''s he doing here?
17043What''s he doing here?
17043What''s the matter with you, Boots?
17043What''s the matter with you? 17043 What''s the matter with you?"
17043What''s the matter, big son?
17043What''s the matter? 17043 What''s the stir, son?"
17043What''s the urge, son? 17043 What''s the use of being obstinate, Dave?"
17043What''s this I hear, son, about you falling off the water- wagon and filling the hospital?
17043When did you make that hurry- up appointment, Chet?
17043When do you want me to start?
17043When?
17043Where are you?
17043Where has he gone?
17043Where were you going when you found me?
17043Where you going, Ned?
17043Where you going?
17043Where''s dad?
17043Where''s yore dry nurse Dingwell?
17043Where?
17043Where?
17043Where_ did_ I put it? 17043 While Jess Tighe is living?"
17043Who are you?
17043Who elected you czar of Huerfano Park?
17043Who said anything about going away? 17043 Who said he was sick?"
17043Who told you to take off my boot?
17043Who told you?
17043Who''s that out there, Ned?
17043Who''s with you?
17043Who?
17043Why ca n''t you?
17043Why did n''t Meldrum shoot?
17043Why did n''t he send Jeff?
17043Why did n''t they leave me alone, then?
17043Why did n''t you come after father warned you?
17043Why did n''t you say something about it?
17043Why did you say that you did n''t know anything about the Western Express robbery?
17043Why do you call him Cornell? 17043 Why do you come away up here?
17043Why do you jump on me, then?
17043Why have you come to me? 17043 Why not tell this man Street that he is not wanted and so be done with it?"
17043Why should they hurt him?
17043Why?
17043Why?
17043Why?
17043Will he come?
17043Will that help you, do you think?
17043Will there? 17043 Will you go?
17043Wo n''t you hurry, please?
17043Wo n''t you light off''n yore bronc and stay to supper, Miss Rutherford?
17043Would you dare take her home to your people?
17043Would you marry a girl off the range?
17043Ye thought you were the only one that knew it? 17043 You butted in and tried to spy like yore dad, did you?"
17043You did n''t think I was going up to the horse ranch with you meek and humble, did you? 17043 You do n''t mean--?"
17043You do n''t reckon that maybe a cougar--?
17043You do n''t want to go back and do the job more thorough, do you? 17043 You find a sermon in it, do you?"
17043You have n''t quarreled with Brad?
17043You like this young fellow, honey?
17043You live here?
17043You mean keep her-- unharmed?
17043You mean that he figured out his chances?
17043You mean the Western Express robbery two weeks ago?
17043You mean-- spy on them?
17043You mean-- to- night?
17043You mean--?
17043You remember the day we put John Beaudry out of business?
17043You think he would let her alone, then?
17043You will, eh?
17043You''re aimin''to stop my clock, are you? 17043 You''re not a deputy sheriff?"
17043You''ve heard about it, then?
17043You''ve met my sister, have n''t you, Dave?
17043Ai n''t there others in the park?
17043And had the sheriff heard whether McCarty was to be boss of Big Creek roundup?
17043And was he beside them only a tomtit?
17043And who?
17043Another minute and-- But what''s the use of worrying?
17043Anything wrong?"
17043Are you there?
17043Are you trying to make trouble with me?
17043At sight of her he exclaimed:--"What are you doing here, Boots?
17043At this time of night?
17043Beaudry?"
17043Been having trouble with any one?"
17043Bluntly the girl spoke out,"What''s the matter?"
17043But had he escaped it?
17043But how?
17043But how?
17043But there''s a stronger case already built for us, is n''t there?
17043But we have n''t all got to go to the mourner''s bench with you, have we?
17043But what had they done with the loot?
17043But which?
17043But who would think to find her away over on Del Oro?
17043But why the hell should any one want to make friends with a white- livered pup like you?
17043Ca n''t blame them for that, can I?"
17043Ca n''t run away from your job, can you?
17043Ca n''t you come along?"
17043Can I sell you a windmill, Mr. Charlton, warranted to raise more water with less air pressure than any other in the market?"
17043Can we roost here to- night?
17043Can you beat that?"
17043Can you tell me how your frind will stand the acid next time hell pops?"
17043Chapter VII Jess Tighe Spins a Web"Then you left Denver, did you?"
17043Come to boss this round- up for us?"
17043Cornell- I- Yell?"
17043Could he gun this man and make his getaway?
17043Dad home?"
17043Did n''t I tell you I was drunk?"
17043Did n''t he creep into your house so as to sell you out when he got the goods?
17043Did n''t they ever tell you about it?"
17043Did n''t you hot- foot it down to Hart''s because you was afraid yore precious spy would meet up with what he deserved?"
17043Did n''t you spend a night alone with him and Dave Dingwell?
17043Did that man hit you when he fired?"
17043Did this mean they had divided their treasure here?
17043Did you iver hear of Dave Dingwell?"
17043Did you meet some one and give it to him?
17043Did you?"
17043Do I get to cull this bunch of longhorn skeletons you''re misnaming cattle?"
17043Do n''t I, Miss Beulah?"
17043Do n''t you know that the Big Creek headwaters are off the map?"
17043Do n''t you reckon I know what a long- eared jackass I am?"
17043Do n''t you see?
17043Do n''t you think lots of people are hampered by their environment?
17043Do n''t you think so?"
17043Do you know where he is?"
17043Do you reckon he could keep out of it?"
17043Do you remember that night at the cabin-- before we went up the cañon?"
17043Do you think I do n''t know that you put Dan Meldrum down in the pit-- and him with a gun in his hand?
17043Do you think he is a good prospect, Miss Rutherford?"
17043Do you think he would have asked you to give up your happiness to carry on a feud that ought never to have been?"
17043Do you think he would have nursed a grudge for seventeen years?
17043Do you think it likely I would betray your people after that?"
17043Does the hold- up of the Pacific Flyer help you any?"
17043Figure out for yourself what''s likely to happen?"
17043Fine as silk, eh?
17043Get that?"
17043Get thrown?"
17043Got to go through, have n''t you?
17043Had he better join Sweeney''s posse and patrol the desert?
17043Had he left her alone to die?
17043Had he sense enough left to know his danger?
17043Had it been to get her out of the way?
17043Had it to do with young Beaudry?
17043Has n''t Blacky got home yet?"
17043Has n''t he lied from start to finish?"
17043Has n''t it cost me enough already?
17043Have you forgot who made me the misshaped thing I am?
17043How about it, Dave?
17043How about it?"
17043How can I shake hands in friendship with the man who killed mine?
17043How could he safely make the most of the opportunity?
17043How could they know you are here?
17043How could you help it?"
17043How did you come to do it?"
17043How did you come to drop the money here?"
17043How do you know?"
17043How far is it?"
17043How get his revenge and not jeopardize his own safety?
17043How is every little thing a- coming?
17043How many friends are you going to take along this trip?"
17043How many times have I got to say that it is nothing to me what becomes of you?"
17043How was she to get out?
17043Howcome I to be so forgetful?
17043I ai n''t got many years--""Have you made your choice?"
17043I did n''t ask you to come with me, did I?
17043I have to live here, do n''t I?"
17043I reckon you did n''t know that, did you?"
17043I suppose you''ll be in the park a few days?"
17043If so, why?
17043If they had anything against him, why would n''t they kill him?"
17043Is he a breed?"
17043Is it for the college?"
17043Is n''t that the way of it?"
17043Is that it?"
17043Is that it?"
17043Is that what you mean, you lying spy?"
17043Is that what you mean?"
17043It ai n''t reasonable, now, is it?"
17043Just where is this gulch?"
17043Mean to lie down and let that kid run you through to the pen like his father did Dan Meldrum?"
17043Mean you''re man enough to beat the law to it?"
17043Must he go back the way he had come?
17043My neck''s in the noose, ai n''t it?"
17043Not so, Berta?"
17043Now you wo n''t worry any more, will you?"
17043Now, what was that you said a while ago about giving me anything I wanted?"
17043Or could he cut across country to it?
17043Or had he better wait until it was quite dark?
17043Or how did you get rid of it?"
17043Or shall I?"
17043Or was it because she feared for his safety?
17043Or would he help more by pushing straight into the hills?
17043Or would they mark one more score against him and wait?
17043Say, Beulah, have you heard about Jess Tighe?"
17043Say, do you know what I saw that young man put over to- day at the depot?"
17043See?
17043See?"
17043See?"
17043Set the trap again after you sprung it, Boots?"
17043Should he go down to the horse ranch now?
17043Showing off before company?"
17043Since he must take a chance, why not take a bigger one, why not follow the instigation of the little crouching devils in his brain?
17043Street?"
17043That''s a Mexican name, is n''t it?
17043That''s true, is n''t it, dad?"
17043The question is how far would he dare go?"
17043There''s nothing the matter, is there, Chet?"
17043They know you''re here, do n''t they?"
17043Think I''m going to miss my chance now?
17043Think he''d be a good risk for an insurance company?"
17043Too much about what?"
17043Understand?
17043Understand?"
17043Understand?"
17043Up to me?
17043Was he scared when he licked a dozen men at the Silver Dollar and laid out for repairs three of the best fighters in New Mexico?"
17043Was his brain steady enough to hold him in check?
17043Was it a cannon the kid hit me with?"
17043Was it a coward that did that?"
17043Was it because she was afraid Roy might show the white feather?
17043Was it because she was the product of heredity and environment?
17043Was it not natural that a high- spirited girl should resent such a charge against her people and should flame out against the man who had wounded her?
17043Was it possible she had not told her father?
17043Was it possible that his pride would make him neglect the warning her father had left?
17043Was it true that a new schoolhouse was going to be built on Bonito?
17043Was she alive or dead to- night, in peril or in safety?
17043Was there a streak of commonness in her that made possible such a scene as she had just gone through?
17043Was there any law of justice that forced him to throw away the rope that was his only hope?
17043Was this the reason that her father had sent her-- to stay the hands of his associates already reaching toward the prisoner?
17043Was this the way_ he_ looked when the yellow streak was showing?
17043Was this young fellow who called himself Street a spy sent in by the Western?
17043Well, when they find me, do you think you wo n''t be punished for this?"
17043Were her pride and courage abased, too?
17043Were there no good, honest folk in the world at all?
17043Were these hillmen eagles, hawks, and vultures?
17043Were they watching him for fear he might be a detective?
17043Were you named for it?"
17043What are you going to do about it?
17043What are you thinking?"
17043What did he say about the windmill?"
17043What do you think?"
17043What do you want?"
17043What does it matter now?
17043What else can they do?
17043What else would he be doing if he is a chip of the old block?
17043What harm can he do me in five minutes?
17043What has he got to do with it?"
17043What more do you want?"
17043What right had he to hold Chet Fox a prisoner at the point of a rifle?
17043What right had he to talk that way to the girl who had just saved his life?
17043What should he do with her?
17043What was he thinking about?
17043What was it the Huerfano Park settlers were trying to hide from him?
17043What was it this man wanted of the picture?
17043What was it?"
17043What was the girl like whose actions functioned in courage and independence and harsh hostility?
17043What was the use of blinking the truth?
17043What was the use of denying to himself that he loved her?
17043What was the use of quarreling?
17043What was there about the quality of his nerves that differed from those of other men?
17043What was to become of little Royal without either father or mother?
17043What were the Rutherfords waiting for?
17043What will you get for a reply?"
17043What would be their next move?
17043What would he do?"
17043What would the hillmen do to him when they had recovered from the panic into which his madness had thrown them?
17043What''s dad thinking about?"
17043What''s she doing here?"
17043What''s that you say?"
17043What''s the matter with you?"
17043What''s the use of asking that?
17043What''s the use of being pigheaded?
17043What''s the use of we''uns quarreling, Miss Beulah?
17043What''s the use?"
17043What''s to prevent me from emptying my forty- four into you when I get good and ready, then hitting the trail for Mexico?"
17043What-- what would he do?"
17043Where away this glad mo''ning?"
17043Where did you hide it?"
17043Where did you put it?"
17043Where had Ned Rutherford been for three nights and his brother Jeff before that?
17043Where is that gunnysack?"
17043Where you- all been?"
17043Where''s your horse?"
17043Who are you talking about?"
17043Who is going to take yore word against mine?
17043Who would n''t have been?"
17043Why ca n''t they let him alone?"
17043Why could n''t she dismiss a lover as girls in books do, in such a way as to keep him for a friend?
17043Why did not the spy come down to the horse ranch?
17043Why did she get so angry?
17043Why did she say such things?
17043Why did you send Pat up Del Oro?"
17043Why do you pick me?"
17043Why had Beulah flared into unexpected anger?
17043Why had Rutherford allowed her to come?
17043Why had fate snatched so gentle a youth from his law desk and flung him into such turbid waters to sink or swim?
17043Why had he baited a trap to get a picture of him without Beulah Rutherford knowing that he particularly wanted it?
17043Why had this man come out of the dead past to seek him?
17043Why must she look at everybody with bitterness and push friendship from her lest it turn to poison at her touch?
17043Why must she spend her life in such surroundings?
17043Why not hang on and let the horse drag him out, too?
17043Why not just Corn?
17043Why not keep from the public the name of the man who had shot Meldrum?
17043Why not ride over to Del Oro Creek, where the season was later and the columbines would be just coming on?
17043Why should I cull my words so careful?
17043Why should I embroil myself with a lot of murderous outlaws when what I want is to sit here and make friends--?"
17043Why should I give it?
17043Why should I go back to that bloody battleground?
17043Why should I hate him because he was man enough to do it?"
17043Why should Tighe be so keen on bumping off this pink- ear when dad says no?"
17043Why should the bandits have built their fire on a small hillock when there was level ground adjacent?
17043Why was it in her horoscope to be an outcast?
17043Why was the son of John Beaudry such an arrant coward?
17043Why, then, should he have these other initials printed on the pad?
17043Why?
17043Will you promise to stay close all the time I sleep?"
17043Will you stop at Salmon''s and order this bill of groceries sent up to the corral?
17043Wo n''t you come in, too?"
17043Wo n''t you order breakfast, too?"
17043Would it be loyal or decent to go into his family and make him my father by marrying his daughter?"
17043Would n''t that make a good picture-- kinder liven up the porch if we''re on it?"
17043Would n''t they?
17043Would the mob turn on him later and destroy him?
17043Would they not break in on him and drag him out to death?
17043Would they start for him at once?
17043Yet what could he do against two armed men who would not hesitate to shoot him down if necessary?
17043You ai n''t deef, are you?
17043You can travel yore trail and we can go ours, ca n''t we?"
17043You going to let him?"
17043You got an idea of taking in Sweeney as a partner?
17043You''ll excuse us, Mr. Street?
17043You''re sure of it?"
17043You''ve heard of a sheriff of that name who used to live in this country?
17043_ Whad you do to Dave Dingwell in Chicito_?"
17043all right?"
17043because of any reason under heaven outside ourselves?
17043do they know I''m here?"
17043leave me here?"
17043that you were a rustler?"
17043to starve?"
15438A man dead?
15438A man might die under the hands of the surgeon?
15438About Galloway?
15438All ready, Feliz?
15438All right down there?
15438Am I?
15438And have the whole country laugh at me? 15438 And missed every time?
15438And please clear the room, will you? 15438 And some day,"he continued quietly,"it will be Roderico''s time,_ no_?
15438And the mine superintendent at Las Palmas? 15438 And there were other robberies?
15438And you have had that impulse almost all the time ever since? 15438 And you wanted to have me submit to an operation?
15438And you will sleep here? 15438 And,"his face suddenly as expressionless as Pete''s own,"it would n''t be a bad bet to look for Vidal in Tres Robles, would it?
15438And,she cut in abruptly,"you mean to tell me that you shot that man after he had put this hole in you?
15438Anybody know where Cutter is?
15438Back again, Roddy?
15438Because I am so young?
15438Bisbee shot two or three times, did he?
15438Brocky Lane? 15438 Brocky and his men are along the arroyo, you say?
15438But I''ve got a few minutes before my week''s up, have n''t I? 15438 But have you the right?"
15438But wo n''t he guess something when he misses Moraga?
15438But, Mr. Lane,she asked,"you do n''t intend to leave him here all alone?
15438But,she objected breathlessly,"if he should strike before you are ready?"
15438By his head striking as he fell? 15438 Ca n''t get away from it, can we?"
15438Ca n''t you see what you force me to do?
15438Can I think about you?
15438Can you promise that, Rod Norton? 15438 Del Rio and Rickard did n''t come in machines did they?"
15438Del Rio is a pretty big man for a Mexican; was this highwayman about his size?
15438Del Rio?
15438Did n''t you go just now to beg Struve to hold you over? 15438 Did you ever have an impulse to steal before you were knocked unconscious at the Casa Blanca?"
15438Did you ever know him to do that and fail to keep his word? 15438 Did you see some one out there at the corner of the house?"
15438Do n''t you think, Elmer,suggested the girl somewhat wearily,"that you have gotten hold of the wrong end of things here?
15438Do you actually believe, Virginia dear,she whispered,"that that man is as wicked as they say he is?
15438Do you deny it?
15438Do you know what I am going to do for you some fine day? 15438 Do you picture what your denunciation would do for me?
15438Do? 15438 Ever see a Mexican named del Rio?"
15438Explaining what you meant by Galloway''s hang- out?
15438For goodness''sake, Elmer, when did you get to San Juan? 15438 Galloway''s on the other side?"
15438Galloway?
15438Going back for what you forgot, Jim?
15438Going in alone, are you, Rod?
15438Going with us, John?
15438Has the priest come?
15438Have n''t seen Vidal lately, have you?
15438Have you any curiosity in the matter? 15438 He has seen Galloway, then?
15438He has told me all about it, and do you know, I do n''t believe that we have the right to blame him? 15438 He is what you call a gunman, is n''t he?"
15438His eyes are not bad eyes, are they?
15438How about yourself?
15438How are you making out, old man?
15438How can you stand that terrible bell?
15438How do you do, Miss Page?
15438How far can one hear it?
15438How many men are with him?
15438How many men jumped you?
15438How many times did Bisbee shoot?
15438How many times did Rickard shoot?
15438How many times did you shoot?
15438How will you stop me?
15438I am afraid that you make a rather troublesome patient, do n''t you?
15438I can hear, ca n''t I?
15438I feel terribly grown up sometimes, do n''t you?
15438I imagine you have n''t seen Jim Galloway since you got in, have you?
15438I was beginning to wonder if I had offended you in some way? 15438 I was perfectly nasty last night, was n''t I?"
15438If I saw an angel here in the garden, señorita,he exclaimed,"would I say_ zape_ to it?
15438If you knew,said Florrie spitefully,"that Mr. Rickard as you call him had just murdered a man yesterday, what would you say then, I wonder?"
15438If you know all this, why do n''t you arrest the man and his accomplices now? 15438 In due course,"he mused,"the fourth stage will arrive and I can be doing something besides talk, ca n''t I?
15438In other words, some free- lance has made a bid to break your corner on the crime market, eh?
15438In particular you do n''t want Jim Galloway to know?
15438Is a physician''s life in San Juan likely to be so filled with his duties that he must bring a nurse with him?
15438Is that all of''em, Roddy?
15438Is there anything else?
15438Is there nothing but killing of men among you people?
15438It is your hand?
15438It might have been del Rio himself, then?
15438It will probably be neither; what are they? 15438 John,"interposed Mrs. Engle,"are n''t you giving Virginia rather a sombre side of things?"
15438Just one, eh?
15438Just what has that got to do with the robberies you mention?
15438Keep it, will you?
15438Kid Rickard is around once more; sure he did n''t do it?
15438Killed Roberts, huh?
15438Knowing him a lawbreaker, have you the right to allow him to go farther and farther, just because in the end you hope to get him?
15438Made that arrest yet, Norton?
15438Marian never does things by halves, my dear; you know that, do n''t you? 15438 May I bring my things over and eat with you?"
15438May I come in?
15438May I have a word with you?
15438Me?
15438Meaning me?
15438Missing every time, of course?
15438Moraga?
15438Moraga?
15438More than you''d have been willing for me to know if circumstance had n''t forced your hand?
15438No doubt,he said hastily, as her head was lifted again,"you think that you would like to send me to jail?"
15438Nonsense nothing, is it Rod? 15438 Not the same Moraga who shot Brocky Lane?"
15438Not to commit another theft?
15438Now what?
15438Or your lover?
15438Our trails divide to- night, then? 15438 Put one over on you without your knowledge and consent?
15438Reason?
15438Scared to come, eh? 15438 See anything of Galloway hereabouts of late?"
15438See anything of del Rio the last few days?
15438See what looks like the entrance to a cave? 15438 Shut up, will you?"
15438So you came, did you, Vidal?
15438Such an operation is a serious matter?
15438Sure it''s Galloway''s work and not just the Kid''s?
15438That is n''t the usual brand of Galloway work, is it? 15438 That it?"
15438That you, Norton?
15438The Kid there did it?
15438The King''s Palace?
15438The crimes committed recently have been characterized by these two essentials, have n''t they? 15438 The stick- up was last night?"
15438Then we understand each other? 15438 Then why do you go?"
15438Then you are afraid, after all? 15438 Then you have decided to accuse me?"
15438To- day?
15438Trying the case already, Judge Norton?
15438Virginia Page, are n''t you? 15438 Was that Mexican gent, del Rio, in town?"
15438We must n''t get nervous and begin to imagine things, must we?
15438We''re really not kids any longer, are we?
15438Well, now?
15438Well,he challenged,"what are you going to do about it?"
15438Well?
15438Well?
15438Well?
15438What are you going to do about it? 15438 What are you operating for?"
15438What are you planning?
15438What did you kill him for?
15438What do you leave me to do? 15438 What do you mean by that?"
15438What do you mean?
15438What do you mean?
15438What do you think of Patten?
15438What in the world are you doing way out here?
15438What is he doing? 15438 What is new, Ignacio?"
15438What is new, you ask? 15438 What makes you say that?"
15438What now?
15438What started the ruction?
15438What the hell do you think you''re for, anyway? 15438 What was our good sheriff doing to- day?"
15438What were you and Galloway doing alone in here with the door locked?
15438What were you talking about?
15438What''s this about Vidal being here?
15438When did he get here? 15438 Where is he?"
15438Where was Antone standing?
15438Where was Jim Galloway? 15438 Where was he standing?"
15438Where was the Kid?
15438Where were you?
15438Where would you take me?
15438Where''s Galloway now?
15438Where''s Virgie?
15438Who did it?
15438Who is it this time?
15438Who is it?
15438Who is it?
15438Who saw the shooting?
15438Who told you that?
15438Who were they?
15438Why do you wait then?
15438Why not?
15438Why? 15438 Why?
15438Why? 15438 Will she be back real soon?"
15438Will you answer?
15438Will you come this way a moment, Miss Page?
15438Will you set a chair against that window- shade?
15438Wo n''t you come in too for a moment, Virginia?
15438Would you be willing to perform that operation for me?
15438You can ride, ca n''t you, Virginia?
15438You did n''t let him?
15438You do n''t have to have a light, do you?
15438You do n''t? 15438 You followed us?"
15438You have a long time ahead of you yet, have n''t you, Florence, before you have to answer a question like that?
15438You have called me a thief? 15438 You have friends here?"
15438You have just come to San Juan?
15438You heard?
15438You know him too, already?
15438You mean he takes men into his confidence?
15438You mean how you are not Caleb Patten at all but Charles? 15438 You mean that a man can get away with it?
15438You operate? 15438 You promise me,"said Norton as they drew their horses down to a trot,"not to say anything until we can have had time to talk?"
15438You saw the killing?
15438You see it was double- barrelled jealousy; so I did rather well not to fly at you and tear your eyes out, did n''t I? 15438 You see,"she said to Mrs. Engle,"what a nuisance it would be if I lived with you?
15438You think I am crazy?
15438You think that they would attempt further robbery and outlawry here?
15438You wanted to talk with me?
15438You were in San Juan?
15438You were just going to get cleaned up, were n''t you?
15438You will tell what you have guessed?
15438You wish me to say nothing of to- night''s ride?
15438You wished to thresh things out? 15438 You''ll forgive me if I tumble right straight into sleepy- land?"
15438You''ve said it all now, have you?
15438You?
15438_ Que hay, amigos_?
15438_ Que hay_, Roderico?
15438_ Que quiere usted decir_?
15438A barrier is a silent command to pause; what is the spontaneous answer of a spoiled child to any command?
15438A gunman?
15438A man gets spoiled when he''s laid up like this, does n''t he?
15438After all action becomes simplified when a crisis comes; does n''t it?
15438All right?
15438And Galloway himself, what type of man must he be if all that she had heard of him were true; what were his ambitions, his plans, his power?
15438And I would not?"
15438And all the bullets went through the one hole in the window, I suppose?"
15438And already the girl had cried:"His eyes are not bad eyes, are they?"
15438And as she demanded nervously,"Who is it?"
15438And does not every one know he sold many sheep and that means much money these days?
15438And have the operation if he advises it?"
15438And how is a girl going to stop him?"
15438And how''d he get blood on his gun?"
15438And now, for the last time, will you give me your promise, Virginia?
15438And now, my fine little white dove, what have you to say for yourself?"
15438And the bells?
15438And the dirtiest?
15438And then as they stood side by side:"Tired much?"
15438And then you made him crawl out of the brush and come to you?"
15438And then, before an answer could come, his voice ringing with the anger in it:"Antone or Kid Rickard?
15438And then, very abruptly:"How about your friend, del Rio?"
15438And they''re trying to keep between del Rio and the Kid''s crowd and the other crowd?
15438And told him all about our knowing the rifles were cached in the old caves?"
15438And was n''t he ringing his bell not fifteen minutes ago?"
15438And what had happened to him?
15438And without splitting two ways?
15438And you understand how important it is for you to forget that you have been here?"
15438Are n''t people just horrid, always blaming other people, never stopping to consider their reasons and impulses and looking at it from their side?
15438Are you going to spread your suspicions abroad?"
15438Are you making it all up?"
15438As Norton, relinquishing her hand, went forward swiftly she heard a man''s voice saying weakly:"That you, Rod?"
15438As for the wound Rod Norton had received, who could swear that this man or that had given it to him?
15438As long as each does the best he can see his way to do, the other finds no fault?"
15438As you go out will you tell the boys to send Antone in?"
15438Aztecs, were they?
15438Before I go, do you mind telling me what you mean to do?
15438Before it is too late?"
15438Believe I will sit down; would you believe that a full- grown man like me could get as weak as a cat this quick?"
15438But at last when she paused his hand shut down upon hers and he asked quietly:"I did n''t dream it all, did I, Virginia?
15438But first, you do forgive me, do n''t you?"
15438But now,"and she jumped to her feet,"I''ll go out on the porch while you get dressed and then you come out, will you?
15438But sad?
15438But then silence is n''t such a bad thing after all, is it?
15438But to the west?
15438But who in the name of all that is wonderful is the man with him?
15438Ca n''t you advise him, persuade him to knock off for a couple of weeks and clear out?
15438Ca n''t you see now, Rod Norton?
15438Ca n''t you see?
15438Can you understand me?"
15438Certainly after this you will have nothing to do with men like Galloway and Rickard?"
15438Coming back to Patten, do we agree that he is something of a dub?"
15438Could she ever actually accomplish what she had set out to accomplish; make San Juan a home?
15438Could she make use of this blind instrument which fate had thrust into her hand?
15438Could she use him or could she not?
15438Could she use him?
15438Could you keep the promise were it once made?"
15438Damn it, do you imagine a man counts''em?"
15438Did he know who had been out there?
15438Did he say it?
15438Did n''t I see Denny when the Kid shot him?"
15438Did n''t I see Tommy Rudge go down with a bullet in his belly?
15438Did n''t you?"
15438Did you ever know a man to smile quite as he does?"
15438Did you ever take off a week and just do nothing but think?"
15438Did you see the way he took off his hat?
15438Did you want to see her?"
15438Did you watch him going by?
15438Do I get what I want or not?"
15438Do you know why I am bound to get Jim Galloway''s tag soon or late?"
15438Do you mind listening while a man raves?"
15438Do you mind?"
15438Do you size him up as capable or as something of a quack?"
15438Do you think I am growing greedy for gold in my old age?
15438Do you think that I can let you make it?"
15438Do you think that they want you to cut a skein of silk with a pair of scissors?
15438Do you wonder that I am just wild about him?
15438Does n''t it appeal to you, too?"
15438Dr. Patten acknowledged the introduction and sat down, turning to ask"how Florrie was today?"
15438Eh, Pete?"
15438Engle?"
15438Even if we proved the rifles were Galloway''s, and I do n''t believe we could, how would we set about proving his intention?
15438Ever feel that way?
15438Fine warm days?
15438For did I not see when just now I passed the Casa Blanca that he was a little drunk with Señor Galloway''s whiskey?
15438Galloway?"
15438Galloway?"
15438Get a good slant at him?"
15438Get me, do n''t you?"
15438Get me?"
15438Good Lord, man, if you ca n''t cut the mustard, why do n''t you crawl out and let a man who_ can_ wear your star?"
15438Good news, eh?"
15438Had Roderick Norton seen more than she?
15438Had he chosen wrongly?
15438Had he fled?
15438Had he gone on to say,"A_ lady_ doctor, eh?"
15438Had other men grappled with him, disarmed him, made of him a prisoner to answer for what he had done?
15438Had she so unquestioningly done as he had requested because he was the sheriff who represented the law?
15438Had you heard?"
15438Have I been such a chatter- box, Mrs. Engle, that I am to be admonished at the beginning to study to hold my tongue?"
15438Have I the right to allow all of that to continue?"
15438Have I the right to sit still and say nothing?
15438Have a thorough examination by a specialist?
15438Have n''t we?"
15438Have you been here a week or just a few hours?"
15438Have you rested?"
15438He made the other end of the short tether fast about his own body, said"Ready?"
15438He saw the look in the sheriff''s, eyes and demanded quickly:"What is it?
15438He was sheriff, and what must a sheriff be if not a gunman?
15438He''ll be bolder than ever now, wo n''t he, if this case is dropped?
15438He''s up against a hard proposition, as we all know; if he is half- sick, I wonder if the proposition is n''t going to be too much for him?
15438Here and now and with me?
15438His emotion was purely one of anger, mounting anger that a man was dead?
15438How could a man be the sort they say he is and still be as pleasant and agreeable and downright good- looking as Mr. Galloway?
15438How long do you think that you can keep out from under?"
15438How long does he ring it?"
15438How much is it, Doctor?"
15438How that?
15438How you are no physician but liable to prosecution for illegal practising?"
15438I am going down to see Engle now; will you come with me?"
15438I am right, am I not?"
15438I even tried to steal from you?"
15438I guess that''s what Norton would do, eh?"
15438I have n''t a rifle, who will give me a rifle?
15438I mean in choosing your friends?
15438If he shot out the light, why did he do it?
15438If he''s a crook, why do n''t you go grab him?
15438If it was n''t Moraga, who was it?
15438In either case, what good?
15438In the second place is n''t it rather humorous to wind up by accusing a man with the theft of a fountain pen after your other charges?"
15438Is Tom Cutter in his room yet?"
15438Is he in now?"
15438Is n''t gold a pretty thing?
15438Is n''t he a perfect dear?"
15438Is n''t he the handsome thing?
15438Is there any law against a man saying nice things with his eyes?
15438It did not seem likely that a girl like Florrie would appeal to a man like him; and yet, why not?
15438It is good to be what you call free again, is n''t it?"
15438It is just a little sad, is n''t it?"
15438It''s a fortune in San Juan, is n''t it?"
15438Just because I walked with him from the hotel?"
15438Just in what were they"different"and to what degree?
15438Just the word of a dead Indian, repeated by another Indian, and a few rifles hid in the mountains?
15438Lane?"
15438Lane?"
15438May I come to see you to- morrow?"
15438May I watch you while you read?"
15438May I?"
15438May I?"
15438Might she use Patten?
15438My, what pretty hair you have; I''ll bet it comes down to your waist, does n''t it?
15438Nearly all of them?"
15438Nice cool nights for sound slumber?
15438No?
15438Norton?"
15438Norton?"
15438Not tired out, are you?"
15438Now may I see the hand?"
15438Now, what am I up to, eh?
15438Now,"and she rose, still smiling, but suddenly looking unutterably weary,"where is the guest- chamber?"
15438Oh, I know he ought n''t to be moved, but what else can we do?
15438Oh, ca n''t you understand?"
15438Once more, her voice quickened, she asked:"How will you stop me?"
15438Or again was it a voice shouting to him, urging him on?
15438Page had a very bad cold; how could one have a cold in weather like this?
15438Page?"
15438Page?"
15438Ready?"
15438Rod Norton, will you do as you are told or not?
15438Señor Engle understood?
15438Shaded cañons at noonday with water and birds and flowers?
15438Shall I tell you what we both think of him?
15438Shall I tell you why?
15438Shall you denounce me?
15438She appeared willing to talk with him; well, then, what pleasanter way to spend an afternoon?
15438She saw Norton often; what did she think?
15438She sought to learn this and that of a land new to her; who to explain more knowingly than Ignacio Chavez?
15438She understood his meaning and, though a thrill of excitement ran through her blood, answered laughingly:"Shall a woman learn from the desert?
15438She went quickly the way Ignacio had gone, calling out to him:"What is it?"
15438Since you''ve got to know us sooner or later why not begin to get acquainted?
15438So you travelled across the desert to see?"
15438Some of the others are still on the mountain, then?"
15438Startled by his abruptness, characteristic of him though it was to- day, she asked in puzzled fashion:"What do you mean?"
15438Suppose I''d fall to pieces if I tried it right now?"
15438Surely not for good?"
15438Take a look at his boots, will you?"
15438Tell me just this: Was that paper of any importance whatever, of any interest even, to you?"
15438Tell me, Jim Galloway, how does it happen that the right boot is on the left foot?"
15438Temple?
15438Temple?"
15438That holds you back?"
15438That is generally very easy to do, is n''t it?
15438That is it?
15438That is my room yonder, is n''t it?"
15438That what you mean?"
15438That''s a letter she gave you for me?
15438The banker of whom no doubt she had heard?
15438The question which Tom Cutter, Struve, and Engle all asked of themselves and of each other,"Did Moraga get his chance to talk with Galloway?"
15438The right?
15438The short, squat half- breed standing behind the bar lifted his heavy black brows, demanding:"_ Y porqué_?
15438Then they''ll arrange to take care of him; if necessary you''ll come out again to- morrow night?"
15438Then, believing that he understood:"You''re the nurse?"
15438There is something of a compliment in that, is n''t there?"
15438They are San Juan men, are they not?"
15438They called him Roddy Norton; he is the one, is n''t he?"
15438Think?
15438Through a man''s eyes, you know; and that''s about all that counts anyway, is n''t it?
15438Toltecs?
15438Twenty thousand iron men or your chances at the Casa Blanca?"
15438Was he in town?"
15438Was he on the verge of a collapse?
15438Was he physically fit?
15438Was here the beginning of some further sinister outgrowth of the lawlessness of Kid Rickard?
15438Was it I who robbed Kemble of the Quigley mines?"
15438Was not Galloway a wiser man than I?
15438Was she presently to see Norton himself slipping into the patio from the other side, was she again to hear the rattle of pistol- shots?
15438Was there a remaining alternative?
15438Was this some strange, altogether masculine, community into which she had stumbled?
15438We''ll say that I am troubled by the old wound in the head; that will do as well as anything, wo n''t it?"
15438Were there none in San Juan?
15438What am I to do?"
15438What are you doing out here alone?"
15438What did Moraga have his shoes off for?
15438What do you wish, señor?
15438What had they been seeking there in a wilderness of crag and cliff?
15438What happened to it?"
15438What has Galloway got to do with it?"
15438What has become of them?
15438What haste could there possibly be since, sheepman from Las Palmas or another, he was dead and therefore must wait upon Ignacio Chavez''s pleasure?
15438What next?"
15438What sinister chain of circumstance had impelled Moraga, who Norton said was Galloway''s man, to shoot down the cattle foreman?
15438What sort of creature was he who, in cold, calculating blood could murder a man for a handful of money?
15438What time did it happen?"
15438What was it?
15438What''s happened?"
15438What''s the answer, Virginia Page?"
15438What''s the end going to be?"
15438What''s the good of spatting like two kids, anyway?"
15438What''s the word?"
15438What?
15438When we come to know her better maybe she will allow us to call her Cousin Virginia?
15438Where are they?"
15438Where did they go?"
15438Where is the wound?"
15438Where''m I hurt, you want to know?
15438Where''s my evidence?
15438Which is it, boys?"
15438Which is it?"
15438Which one?
15438Which one?"
15438Which way should Elmer Page turn?
15438Which will you take, Rod Norton?
15438Who is he, by the way?"
15438Who''s going to be next?"
15438Who''s that?"
15438Why did n''t somebody tell me about this?"
15438Why do n''t you go get''em, Roddy?"
15438Why should he call to her?
15438Why should his satanic majesty come to San Juan?
15438Why should n''t he?
15438Why should n''t he?"
15438Why then, amigos, who but me is going to build a little roof over you that runs down both ways, to save you from the hot sun and the rains?
15438Why was Roderick Norton so determined that Jim Galloway should not so much as suspect that these men were watchful in the mountains?
15438Will you at least promise to do as I ask?
15438Will you do so?"
15438Will you do that one favor for me?"
15438Will you remember that my little kingdom is crying out for its queen?
15438Will you think of all that while I am gone?
15438Will you think of me a little, too?
15438Will you, Virginia?
15438Will you?"
15438Wo n''t you see?"
15438Wonder what the V stands for?"
15438Would it be the last?
15438Would n''t you have known her anywhere?"
15438Would she ever look into the eyes of a friend again?
15438Would she have resisted, would she have opposed calm argument against a hot avowal?
15438You are not going to send me away, are you?"
15438You are to sit still and let me wait on you; who''s hostess here, I''d like to know?"
15438You are your mother all over, child; did you know it?
15438You do n''t mind my saying what I mean, do you?
15438You do, do n''t you, Florence?"
15438You have heard of this garden, maybe?
15438You have n''t got anything on him, have you?"
15438You have practised here for upward of two years, have n''t you?
15438You know that, do n''t you?"
15438You like it, no?"
15438You make it so hard; ca n''t you see that you do?
15438You mean that he has n''t done any talking to you about me?"
15438You remember having told me that you had had time to think about everything in the world?
15438You saw something stirring in the patio at Engle''s?
15438You see now, Miss Page, why I could n''t bring Patten here?
15438You sought to commit a theft to- night, I saw you, so there is no use denying it to me, is there?"
15438You would not take our distinction from us?
15438You''d kill me if you had the chance and were n''t afraid to do it, would n''t you?"
15438You''re looking for Vidal Nuñez, they tell me?"
15438_ Ah, que hay más bonito en todo el mundo_?
15438_ La gente_?
15438_ Quien sabe_?"
15438after his name?
15438and that''s like saying I hate strychnine worse than arsenic, is n''t it?
15438do you think that you can forgive me?"
15438how far would you go before you fainted?"
15438if you did n''t love me a little as I love you?"
15438is n''t he the awfullest old pirate you ever saw?
15438just like getting outside and making a noise?
15438not a knife cut, is it?"
15438of the animosity of Jim Galloway?
15438or because he was Roderick Norton who stood for fine, upstanding manhood?
15438or somewhere, that greater praise or something shall no man have than he who gives his life for a friend?
15438or the devil?
15438when Norton cut in bluntly:"Was Galloway here when it happened?"
15438you are hurt?"
15438you did it?"
15438you know where the biggest boulders are all strung out along the arroyo?
15438you''ll send a man to me if you find her?"
26234And they want me to finish the job do they?
26234Another?
26234Are you afraid of him?
26234Are you coming, Ree?
26234Badly?
26234Be ye? 26234 Did ye hit him, d''ye think, Ree?"
26234Did ye see that fresh scalp hangin''at that Buffalo varmint''s belt?
26234Did you ever hear of the terrible Captain Archer, the outlaw of war times?
26234Do you know Captain Bowen?
26234Got a little muscle, too, ai n''t ye? 26234 Haow should yeow know anythin''about it?"
26234Has anything happened, Tom?
26234Has the Big Buffalo cause to be unfriendly?
26234Hear that John? 26234 How can I help it, boy?
26234How do you know that?
26234How far do you call it to old Fort Pitt?
26234How should I know anything about it?
26234I ai n''t responsible for there being robbers about, am I?
26234I guess you have talked to the Indian girl before to- day, have n''t you? 26234 John, did you sneeze?"
26234Oh, it''s you, is it?
26234Pretty as a picture, is n''t she?
26234Pretty near took the hide off, did n''t it, Smart Alec?
26234See any spooks about?
26234Somebody dying?
26234Traveled far?
26234What ai n''t happened? 26234 What did Fishing Bird say to you, Ree?"
26234What do you take me for? 26234 What does that mean?"
26234What has happened, John?
26234What is the varmint pepperin''away at ye so, for?
26234What kept you, John? 26234 What luck, Black Eagle?"
26234What''s all the row about?
26234What''s happened, Ree?
26234What''s the old chap up to?
26234What? 26234 Which?"
26234White man go far-- goes to Ohio? 26234 Who fired that shot, my friend?"
26234Who fired that shot?
26234Who was it? 26234 Why did n''t you let me crack that old villain on the head?
26234Why, where is Tom?
26234Will you stop for the venison we left in the tree?
2623491 VIII Friends or Foes?
26234An''if it was, was that critter the Buffalo chap?
26234An''what was he hangin''''round here ag''in for last night?"
26234And on the other hand, if Arthur Bridges, a peaceable trader, had been murdered, might he and John not be in greatest danger of the same fate?
26234And what of that burly giant, by the way?
26234Archer?
26234Are n''t you the man we saw in the barn as we were coming up?"
26234Bloody as a battle field, is n''t it?"
26234But the youthful leader of the party interrupted:"Go back?
26234But what have you been doing?
26234But where were John and Tom?
26234But why had they not returned?
26234Could he ask more?
26234Could it have been Big Pete Ellis, trying to kill you, Ree?
26234Did ye see that scalp, an''the blood on it hardly more''n dry?
26234Even if Tom began the fight alone, would not the Indians blame him and John as being friends of his, and attack them?
26234Fish,"he said with a laugh,"You see the river down there?
26234Friends or Foes?
26234Had he been in want?
26234He hurried to the camp mentally ejaculating:"What will Tom Fish say of this?"
26234How can you tell whose it might have been?
26234How could anybody tell?"
26234How did it happen any way?
26234I wonder if he is n''t jealous of Big Buffalo that he is always warning us against him?
26234I wonder if there is any love lost between him and the Gentle Maiden?"
26234If John had noticed this he might not have asked in the tone in which he did:"Well, whose scalp is it?"
26234Now was it the same critter as killed the horse, or wa''n''t it?
26234Oh, be ye?"
26234Ree answered in the same fashion but John was so flustrated that he stammered:"How do you do, sir?"
26234See the knot- hole in that beech way over yonder?
26234The question is, how did he know where the money was?"
26234Them''s my honest sentiments; an''more''n that, did ye see the scalp at that red devil''s belt?
26234Was it John slipping up stealthily to try to scare him?
26234Was it not true that the Indians were treacherous and not to be trusted though they seemed friendly?
26234We was talkin''away thar, when he asked me did I know what had ever become o''Art Bridges?
26234What could it mean?
26234What if ye had peppered away at me?"
26234What is it?"
26234When did you talk with her?"
26234Where has he gone?"
26234Where was old Jerry, too?
26234Where would I have landed if I had been standing up and this colt had run into it?"
26234Where ye bound fer, anyhow?"
26234Who could have fired the shot?
26234Why did n''t you tell me?"
26234Why is there no fire?"
26234Why should they seek the lives of others, whether white men or redmen?
26234Why, then, should they give up the hunt and the pleasures of their present pursuits to take up the hatchet?
26234You will be here a day or two?"
26234You''ve been making love behind my back, have you?
26234the boy exclaimed in a half whisper,"what in the world can have happened?"
26234why do n''t you shoot?"
16629A letter from me?--touching Searle for sixty thou? 16629 A letter?"
16629A nugget!--gold!--not from the-- not from your claim?
16629A room? 16629 After that,"he said,"does my conduct occasion surprise?"
16629Aggravated?
16629Ai n''t she just about it?
16629Ai n''t she the female woman?
16629Ai n''t this a placer? 16629 Ai n''t your syndicate back of any game you open, with the money to see it started right?"
16629And he''s no further along towards Goldite than this?
16629And how did she keep it-- the tavern?
16629And that reminds me, Algy, what about you?
16629And the money-- yours and mine-- did it go to assist in this unexpected enterprise, and not to buy a claim with Glen?
16629And this was why you would n''t let us go in the auto?
16629And what if they chance to meet you?
16629And why do we have to go around?
16629And you''d wish to go on being friends?
16629And your plan is----"Look here, do I stack up like a Sunday- school superintendent? 16629 Anything gone wrong with Van Buren, or his claim?"
16629Are n''t we going to cross the river here?
16629Are you hungry?
16629Are you ready for a talk? 16629 Are you sure it wo n''t pull over?"
16629Are you?
16629At last?
16629Barger?
16629Bought Lawrence to fake out the reservation line? 16629 Busy?"
16629But do you know where it lies-- their claim?
16629But how am I going to get down there and back?
16629But you want somebody to belong to you now? 16629 But-- didn''t he discover the opportunity-- the chance?"
16629But-- what shall I do?
16629Ca n''t the Government do nuthin''--run no county line ner nuthin''without everybody sittin''up to notice?
16629Ca n''t we tack somewhere?
16629Ca n''t you do anything? 16629 Can you get it?"
16629Can you start the work to- day?
16629China?
16629Could Searle have written such a letter as that?
16629Could n''t we hold the wheel and wait fer Van?
16629Dear Mr. Van: I wonder if I dare to ask a favor-- from one who has done so much already? 16629 Deceit?"
16629Did he touch you for a loan?
16629Did n''t you know this so- called cut- off to Starlight would take you more time than the road?
16629Did she?
16629Did this affair also require the expenditure of sixty thousand dollars?
16629Did, hey? 16629 Do I look as bad as that?"
16629Do I look like a native?
16629Do I?
16629Do n''t I say you''ve made a mistake?
16629Do n''t you see them?--those lively little specks, swarming all around the machine?
16629Do n''t you want to give this man a chance?
16629Do you know them, then?
16629Do you mean to desert them if I do? 16629 Do you ride?"
16629Do you see that small, dark object in the road? 16629 Do you think I may not?"
16629Do you think you could find him a room?
16629Do you tin- horn miners think that''s all this office is for?
16629Do you want them to kiss your hand?
16629Does it reach?
16629Elsa, can you ride-- on a horse?
16629Epicure? 16629 Epicures?"
16629Ever seen gold washin''before?
16629Five forty- five?
16629Found something too big to keep hidden?
16629Goldite is n''t down there, is it?
16629Good Lord, Van, ai n''t a man to breathe-- hain''t he got no rights to live, whatsoever?
16629Good heavens, man,said Van, still staring,"are you sure of what you''re saying?"
16629Got any matches?
16629Got it? 16629 Got over your grouch?"
16629Has Mr. Bostwick been here in my absence?
16629Has anyone died around here recent?
16629Has that ruffian, Van Buren, been here recently?
16629Have a drink?
16629Have anything to drink?
16629Have n''t I always been stuck after you?
16629Have n''t you worked on shinbones and heavenly hopes before?
16629Have n''t_ you_ heard?--_you_?
16629Have you always lived here-- out West?
16629Have you engaged a suite for me?
16629Have you got any plans in your attic?
16629Have you got it as bad as that? 16629 Have you lodged a complaint-- done anything to have this fellow arrested?"
16629Have you reported what was done to me?
16629Have you written again?
16629He ai n''t come hunting fer you as quick as this?
16629He''d shoot you on sight?
16629His check- book?
16629His deputy?
16629How about it, boy?
16629How are you, Culver?
16629How are you, Rick?
16629How are you, Searle?
16629How are you? 16629 How could I have a horse in Goldite?"
16629How do you mean to handle the half- breed?
16629How does he wish to work it?
16629How far is it, really, from here?
16629How long ago did you put him in jail?
16629How long has your brother been out here in Goldite?
16629How long will young Kent be away?
16629How much did it need-- if I may ask?
16629How much do you know of what has happened?
16629How?
16629Hullo,he said, while still a rod away,"what in blazes are you doing here, man-- are you lost?"
16629I ca n''t get away much earlier,he said, and to this, by way of acting his part, he added:"Do you want to wear me out?"
16629I do n''t want nothing I can git-- I guess-- unless-- Oh,_ is_ it her, Van? 16629 I say, Sis, why this misplaced fountain on the job?"
16629I think different, savvy? 16629 I thought I''d like to see those results,"he said,"--that rock I fetched you last, remember?
16629I want you to stand for it, savvy?
16629I wonder if you can help me put on a tire?
16629I''d buy them for you now and sit you down,said Van,"only why start a graveyard with a friend?"
16629I''m an irritable man, and everything I own is irritable, understand?
16629I''m lookin''out fer number one, this morning, understand? 16629 I''m very happy to-- how are you, Pratt?
16629If Searle is dead, why do n''t he say so? 16629 If anyone comes that you can send, will you kindly have my horse taken over to the stable?"
16629If not in the world, where_ would_ you have wished to see me, then?
16629If you want your thousand back, why do n''t you say so?
16629Illegal?
16629Indeed?
16629Is McCoppet in town?
16629Is it good?
16629Is it some small animal?
16629Is it very far? 16629 Is n''t there a horse on the place?"
16629Is n''t this absurd?
16629Is that what you mean?
16629Is that you, Gett?
16629Is this a first- class place?
16629Is this a hold- up?
16629Is work unpopular, or did the wind blow the water from the creek?
16629Is''Van''the candy boy with you?
16629It''s nobody''s fault-- but what was the use, Van?--what was there in it for me?
16629Joke? 16629 Joke?"
16629Know what he come fer?
16629Look here, Beth, is this some maudlin sentiment over that brigand, Van Buren? 16629 Look here,"said the gambler, whose wits were inordinately keen,"is anything leaking, Bostwick?
16629Lost his pockets?
16629Matt? 16629 Matt?"
16629May I see you a moment, please?
16629May I speak to you a moment privately?
16629McCoppet?
16629Money? 16629 Morning, Uncle.--Howdy?"
16629Mr. Van-- Mr. Van-- where are you?
16629My horse-- over at Charlie''s?
16629My letter?
16629My letter?
16629Nap,he said,"what does this mean?--you wasting money on your face?"
16629Need the money, do n''t you-- now?
16629No we wo n''t wait fer nuthin''!--not fer nuthin'', understand?
16629Not Mr. Bostwick, in his car?
16629Not Vesuvius?
16629Not across the awful desert?
16629Not come at all? 16629 Not here?"
16629Not with the other thirty thousand?
16629Nothing doing?
16629Now, how can anybody tell you that?
16629Obligation? 16629 Oh, death, where is thy s- s- s- s-(whistle) sting?"
16629Oh, indeed?
16629Oh, really? 16629 Oh, you do n''t?"
16629Oh,she said, dropping her eyes to her work,"and Glen is in it too?"
16629Oh,she said,"poor old Searle?
16629On something good for the-- for our little group?
16629Onto his game?
16629Opal? 16629 Poison?
16629Queenie, what have you done?
16629Say, Searle,he said,"do n''t you savvy you''ve lost your vote in this convention?
16629Say, you ai n''t starting a shaft?
16629Say, you,said he,"what''s on your programme?"
16629She''s respectable, of course? 16629 So you come to me to find out?"
16629That ai n''t what''s fetched him over to the desert?
16629That all?
16629The claim? 16629 The fact that I''m a stranger here----""And what will you do if he refuses?"
16629The girl-- some girl you-- Isn''t it beautiful?
16629The girl?
16629The pin? 16629 Then what do you think?
16629Then what is the next thing to do?
16629Then why do n''t you wait and go with us?
16629Then you have purchased the mine-- you and Glen?
16629There''s certainly gold on this reservation?
16629There''s nothing at present that our syndicate could do?
16629Think so, do you, Opal?
16629Think you could ride my cayuse?
16629This broach?
16629Till noon?
16629To you? 16629 Trimmer?
16629Two?
16629Van, if you ai n''t got no respect fer yourself, ai n''t you got none left fer us old doggone cusses?
16629Was Searle the only man you knew in all New York?
16629Was that the cuss? 16629 We ca n''t expect to, can we?"
16629We? 16629 Well, have you got that thirty thousand?"
16629Well, well,said he nervously,"now who''d a- thought you''d finished eatin''?"
16629Well? 16629 Well?"
16629Well?
16629Wha''for no tell me blingee ladies? 16629 What about it?"
16629What are you doing here anyhow?
16629What are you doing here, I''d like to know?
16629What are you goin''to do with me, then, now you''ve got me to rights?
16629What are you talking about?
16629What could I do?
16629What did I s- s- s- s-(whistle) say?
16629What did I sh- sh- sh- sh-(whistle) shay?
16629What did I tell you about the inside track?
16629What did you find?
16629What do you advise me to do?
16629What do you mean?
16629What do you think of it yourself?
16629What do you think they will do?
16629What does it look like-- playing checkers?
16629What does it mean?
16629What for did you pull me out?
16629What for?
16629What has got him? 16629 What have you done with the sorrel?"
16629What in hell-- was the use of my comin''here,he faltered,"if you do n''t take the money-- the reward?"
16629What is he doing out South?
16629What is it you expect to see?
16629What is it, Queenie? 16629 What shall we do about the claim, and all this cargo, and everything?"
16629What will you do if I refuse?
16629What you doin''?
16629What you givin''us, anyway?
16629What you have done?
16629What''s a mining claim for but to furnish good hard work for a couple of old ring- tailed galoots who''ve shirked it all their lives?
16629What''s all this business, anyway? 16629 What''s all this pillow- fight about?"
16629What''s going on at Starlight?
16629What''s going on?
16629What''s going on?
16629What''s life anyhow but a sure- thing game? 16629 What''s mallah you, Van?"
16629What''s mallah you, Van?
16629What''s mallah you, Van?
16629What''s mallah you, Van?
16629What''s that got to do with this?
16629What''s that?
16629What''s that?
16629What''s that?
16629What''s that?
16629What''s the answer? 16629 What''s the good of all these lyin''papers when I seen Matt myself, readin''the piece about him goin''back to the pen?"
16629What''s the good of my finding you here in Goldite if you do n''t do nothing for your country?
16629What''s the joke?
16629What''s the matter with your eyes? 16629 What''s the matter with your writing hand?
16629What''s the matter? 16629 What''s the trouble?"
16629What''s the use of beating round the bush? 16629 What''s the use of my riding-- perhaps another mile?
16629What''s the use of our trying to make it? 16629 What''s the use?
16629What''s wrong with you, man?
16629What''s your poison?
16629What?
16629What?
16629Where are they now?
16629Where are you going? 16629 Where are you putting up?"
16629Where in the world have you been, all this time? 16629 Where in the world have you been, in such a rig?"
16629Where is he, then?
16629Where is he, then?
16629Where shall we go to spend our honeymoon?
16629Where''s Barger now?
16629Where''s Van?
16629Where-- where are you going?
16629Wheresh that little g- g- g-(whistle) girl?
16629Which one of you fellows is it that''s forgotten he''s a man? 16629 Who brought it into camp?"
16629Who got you, Matt-- who got you?
16629Who says so?
16629Who told you the story?
16629Who''s got that alibi?
16629Who''s that?
16629Who''s there?
16629Who?
16629Why did n''t you say what you wanted, earlier?
16629Why do n''t you pick on a man of your color?
16629Why do you call him a son of a gun?
16629Why not be frank? 16629 Why not use your own?
16629Why not, when Glen has the chance of his life? 16629 Why not?"
16629Why should n''t I wish it to continue?
16629Why should n''t we be married now-- at once? 16629 Why, how can I do less?"
16629Why, how can you tell? 16629 Why, yes-- what is it?"
16629Why-- but----she gasped,"there is nothing to eat-- no water-- there is n''t anything on the desert, is there?--anywhere?"
16629Why-- how can you speak so rudely? 16629 Will you still have an ace in your kahki?"
16629Will your men know where to find him?
16629Wo n''t he try to hunt you up-- and pay you back?
16629Wo n''t you sit down?
16629Work it, yep, but what on?
16629Would n''t he take it as a favor if you passed him some money and the word about Van Buren''s hike to Starlight?
16629You and I break even, Barger, understand? 16629 You and I were friends-- I''m sure we were friends-- but now----""Now, if we are not, do you think the fault is mine?"
16629You bought it, Van, who from?
16629You do n''t know what an epicure is? 16629 You do n''t mean to say he''s turned up again unslaughtered?"
16629You do n''t mean to say this accident-- this crime-- is fortunate, after all?
16629You do n''t mean to say----"Do with it, man? 16629 You expected this?"
16629You have n''t already begun to admire this ruffian-- glorify this outlaw?
16629You hope?
16629You know what Searle has done?
16629You laugh at everything,she answered,"but is n''t it really a serious thing-- a menace to everyone-- having those convicts out of prison?"
16629You left him well? 16629 You mean that I-- I have deceived you?
16629You mean you propose to stay here in spite of my wishes?
16629You saw Glen four days ago?
16629You wo n''t come? 16629 You''d_ do_ it?"
16629You''ll do as much as that for Glen?
16629You''ll-- help?
16629You''re elated over that?
16629You''ve decided sudden, ai n''t you?
16629You''ve taken my car?
16629You-- knew they were out-- and waiting on the road?
16629Young Kent ai n''t next to anything?
16629_ Home_?
16629_ My_ interest in the claim?
16629A good- looking girl in camp, with her men- folks all giving her the go- by-- and what could you expect?
16629A silence succeeded, then he heard, in tremulous accents:"I''m here-- but how am I going to tie the rope?"
16629After a moment she asked him:"What do you mean to do?"
16629After a moment, as he got no reply, he added:"Have you started?"
16629After all, even with this"introduction"what were these men''s intentions?
16629After all, what was the hurry to depart?
16629After all, what was the odds?
16629Ai n''t it funny-- that love-- can burn you-- up?"
16629Ai n''t mad, are you?
16629Ai n''t mad, are you?"
16629Ai n''t that what''s the matter with you now?"
16629Ai n''t the sheriff''s enough--_without a thing like that_?"
16629And as Dave floundered, hopelessly puzzled, he added:"Give me a knock- down, man, do n''t you savvy?"
16629And he had only asked for a"few odd dollars?"
16629And the yearning there brought back again that thought he had voiced before, that night-- why could n''t the child have had a chance?
16629And to think that you-- with Glenmore in town---- Why is n''t your brother here with you?"
16629And why had he continued, for years, to believe in man or in Fate?
16629And you left Starlight yesterday?"
16629Another one bawled:"Where was he then?
16629Are you going to move or be moved?"
16629As for Beth-- what was the use of wishing to understand?
16629Bostwick answered:"Can you?"
16629Bostwick-- are you out here to work this camp my way or the kid''s?"
16629But first, how have you been here, all alone?"
16629But meantime, what of poor Glen?
16629But, what was the use?
16629But-- how did you know-- know me?"
16629But-- what of Bostwick-- the man who had spent a portion of his time with the liberated convicts?
16629By what right had he recently begun to expect her smile?
16629Can you handle it then?"
16629Can you hear me plainly?"
16629Can you hike some twenty- odd miles?"
16629Could he come to Goldite soon?
16629Could it be that he and the station man were road- agents, plotting some act of violence?
16629Could she try to go on?
16629Culver, you say, represents the Government?
16629Dick?"
16629Dick?"
16629Did n''t I always say I''d give you my head and breathe through my feet-- day or night?
16629Did n''t I say nuthin''could n''t stop me?
16629Did n''t I say so before?"
16629Did n''t I tell''em all you was the only one?
16629Did n''t happen to see a stray roof, anywhere, did you?
16629Did n''t you come out here with that understanding?"
16629Did n''t you know to- day was the day for the rush?"
16629Do n''t his deputy take his place?"
16629Do n''t you suppose you could try?"
16629Do we understand you to say that Algy has gone to your boarding- house and taken a job as cook?"
16629Do you hear?
16629Do you mean to restrain these ladies here by force?"
16629Do you s''pose you could kiss me good- by?"
16629Do you think Cayuse would know who he was?--and believe it-- the yarn?"
16629Does the line include the claim?"
16629Gettysburg sat down, adding:"Why ca n''t you wait, Van, wait till the whole kit and boodle of us can move to the bran''-new claim?"
16629Glen did n''t come along?
16629Had he met Mr. Van?
16629Had he understood that confession in her letter?
16629Have n''t I wasted time enough already without sending someone out here to- morrow morning?
16629Have you any alternative plan?"
16629Have you had your breakfast?"
16629He added:"Have a drink?"
16629He ignored her question, demanding:"Say, is your name Kent?--Glenmore Kent?"
16629He is n''t here?"
16629He took out his gun and waved it loosely about, adding:"Which one of you remembers''Now I lay me down to sleep''?"
16629He turned to go, beheld her luggage, and added:"Is there anyone to take up your things?"
16629He waited while he thought she might be working-- as indeed she was-- and presently added:"Got that done?"
16629He was feeling strong and well?"
16629He was serving half a dozen men, and he said:"Gents, what''s your poison?"
16629He''s successful?"
16629He''s well?
16629He''s-- where?
16629Hear me shout?
16629His voice slightly shook as he asked:"Do you like it?"
16629How are you, anyway?"
16629How are you?
16629How could he be a brute?
16629How could it be possible for such a man to be other than a gentleman-- no matter where he was found?
16629How did you happen to show Mr. Van Buren-- let him see the last page of my letter?"
16629How much money have you got in your clothes?"
16629How much shall we require?"
16629How much was known?--and what was being done?
16629How you s''plose I gettee dinner?
16629I ask you now if you are prepared to play something big-- and-- well, let us say, a trifle risky?"
16629I suppose I may see you, privately-- even here?"
16629I''ve dropped an egg-- and what in the world shall I do?"
16629If he is n''t on deck, then have you no one else?
16629If he''d forge a letter from you, and lie like this and deceive me so, what would n''t he do to rob these men of their mine?"
16629If you really intend to permit us to go, why could n''t we have gone on as we were?"
16629Is it sure all over with me?"
16629Is n''t it sufficient to have things all gone wrong with Culver?
16629Is that enough?"
16629Is that what you mean?"
16629Is the brigand still on the job?
16629Is this Van- brigand holding them both?
16629Just a few little errands, I suppose?"
16629Lawrence?"
16629Matters might still have culminated differently had Bostwick even asked a civil"Why?"
16629Maybe you mean my house ai n''t good enough?"
16629McCoppet replied with a question:"Bostwick, how much have you got?"
16629McCoppet?"
16629Me not know what an epicure is?"
16629Meantime, is your money in the bank?"
16629Miss Beth-- are you up there on the trail?"
16629My dinner not git leady, Van, you savvy that?
16629No answer to Glen''s request for money?
16629No letter from herself?
16629No word from Searle?
16629Not_ your_ Matt Barger?"
16629Of course, he did n''t read you my suspicions concerning himself?"
16629Or did he scorn and loathe her now for having succumbed to his love?
16629Out of prison?"
16629Remember?"
16629Say, you, are you deef?"
16629Searle has n''t got you going on the lachrymals already?"
16629She added generously:"Could n''t I walk a little now, and-- share the horse?"
16629She added to Beth:"Ai n''t he the dickens and all?
16629She said:"Shall we ride very far?"
16629She said:"Where is this mine that Glen has found?"
16629So you are the friend who runs Miss Kent''s errands?
16629Surely you have a little-- a little something for me, pet?
16629Suvy, where''s your pride?
16629That the horse was his gift she comprehended all at once-- but-- what had he said-- what was it he had said, that she must answer?
16629The maid looked the horseman over quite calmly, inquiring:"What for dit you did it-- go down there?"
16629Then he presently said:"How much time have we wasted?"
16629Then wo n''t he feel ugly, resentful?"
16629Then, what could it mean?
16629Trimmer stared, shifted uneasily in his seat, and demanded:"Where?
16629Trimmer?"
16629Van Buren''s claim?"
16629Van nodded:"Have you ever tried Algy''s cooking?"
16629Van?"
16629Was he better?
16629Was it something in particular?"
16629We can almost see daylight through what you said, but who, for instance, is Charlie Sing?"
16629Well, what was the next thing to do?
16629What a scramble it would be, and all for-- what?
16629What about the girl-- the young chump''s sister?
16629What are they?--not robbers?--not men?"
16629What could be the outcome of a journey like this, undertaken so blindly, with no chance for resistance?
16629What could be worse than that?"
16629What did you do about the reservation permit?"
16629What do you mean?
16629What do you mean?"
16629What do you mean?"
16629What do you want-- how much?"
16629What do you want?"
16629What do you wish me to say?"
16629What else could it mean, his coldness, his abrupt departure, after all that had been, and his stubborn silence since?
16629What had been the necessity for all those qualms of fear?
16629What have you done with Algy?"
16629What have you got in your kahki?"
16629What in the world are you drivin''at?"
16629What makes you think you''re worth it?"
16629What manner of being was he, after all?
16629What was he, then?
16629What''s mallah you?"
16629What''s the answer?"
16629What''s the answer?"
16629What''s the matter with Searle?
16629What''s the use of being finniky while we live-- as long as even the Almighty''s dealing brace?"
16629When ai n''t you going to be busy?"
16629When?"
16629Where are you from?"
16629Where have you been?"
16629Where is he at?"
16629Where is he now?"
16629Where is she?"
16629Where''s your pride?
16629Whither were they going?--and towards what Fate?
16629Who told you that?"
16629Who told you to look for me here?"
16629Who told you, Matt?
16629Why all this elaborate surprise-- this newspaper wireless to your fond and lonesome?
16629Why could n''t you and Searle and the maid come down and have a look at me-- working?
16629Why could n''t you let a grubber know you were hiking out here to the desert?
16629Why could n''t you let it go at that?"
16629Why defer mere thanks_ indefinitely_?"
16629Why do n''t you do him, boy?
16629Why do n''t you go and fetch''em?"
16629Why do n''t you show them?
16629Why do you ask such a question?"
16629Why poor?"
16629Will you please go tell him that?"
16629Wo n''t you have a chair, Miss Kent?"
16629Would Beth, by any possibility, attempt to see him-- come out, perhaps, in the moonlight-- for a word before he should go?
16629Would the madman never halt?
16629Yes, I''ve got it,"Bostwick answered nervously,"but what is the good of it now?"
16629Yet what was she to think?
16629You are sure he''s in Starlight now?"

16334Had your supper?"
16334Have a cigar?"
16334Have a cigar?"
16334Have a cigar?"
16334Have you seen him lately?"
16334He felt that he could not get away from-- what?
16334He had nothing but his beloved sheep, but did they not belong to his Señorita?
16334He shook his head,"That would be no reason for-- for our quarreling, would it?"
16334He wondered if they"were mushed up much?"
16334Him?"
16334Hittin''the grit is a lonesome game,-- But quit it?

16334I was wondering--""Say, mister, what''s your name?"
16334I''d like to know what you are doing up here afoot?"
16334I''m fired, ai n''t I?"

16334Is Billy well?"
16334Is Chance all right now?"
16334Is Jack Corliss hurt bad?"

16334Playin''mail- man, eh?"
16334Plumb foolish, ai n''t it?"
16334Possibly she herself could receive the message-- or the Señorita, who was in the garden?
16334Presently the dog came and, squatting on his haunches, faced his master with the query,"What next?"
16334Reckon that''s got anything to do with stampedin''your sheep?"
16334Reckon you heard me whistle him, did n''t you?"

16334The process of lubrication was brief; and"Have another?"
16334The sheriff?"
16334Then what''s wrong?"
16334There''s no other reason, is there?"
16334Think this here''s a Jew clothin''-store?"

16334Want to look over these papers?"
16334Want to try it?"
16334Was Jack going to show a yellow streak?
16334Was he dead when you found him?"
16334Was he not the slayer of their enemy''s sheep and the killer of the timber- wolf?
16334Was it a friend that would leave him sitting there, alone?
16334Was it robbery?
16334Was the risk worth but half the money involved?
16334What are you going to do?"
16334What did the Mexican look like?"
16334What do you know about this?"
16334What do you suppose Nell would think?"

16334What you dreaming anyhow?"
16334What you gettin''at?"
16334What you goin''to do with the overflow from the water- hole?"
16334What you lookin''at me that way for?"
16334What you tryin''to rope now?"
16334What you want to do is--""What''s that got to do with me?"
16334What you want?"
16334What''d you do with it?
16334What''s the answer?"
16334What''s the matter, anyway?"
16334What''s the use of getting sore at me?
16334What''s the use?
16334What''s your idea?"
16334What''s your rush?"
16334When I git back I look to find you hungry, sabe?
16334When did you lose track of him?"
16334When you come back, then you promise; si?"
16334When you comin''down to see leetle Bill and Neeter?"
16334Where do you live?"
16334Where is he?
16334Where''d you fall from?
16334Where''s Bud?"
16334Where?
16334Who did it?
16334Who done it?"
16334Who''d you say raises them frijoles?"
16334Who''s got anything to say about it?
16334Who''s he?"
16334Who''s killed?"
16334Why did n''t some one say something or do something?
16334Why did n''t you write to me?"
16334Why not get married?
16334Why should they laugh and talk and keep him waiting?
16334Why?"
16334Why?"
16334Will that be enough?"
16334Will you promise?"
16334Will you-- return it-- and-- tell John?"
16334Will, what can I do for you?
16334Wo n''t you shake hands?"
16334Wo n''t you take my horse?
16334Wo n''t you take my horse?"
16334Wonder how Sun is makin''it?"
16334Wonder how far I got to walk?
16334Wonder how far it is to the Concho?"
16334Wonder how they''re makin''it at the Concho?
16334Wonder if gettin''killed that way will square Fade with the Big Boss over there?
16334Wonder if you got your crow left?
16334Wonder what that is?
16334Wonder what they was fightin''about?
16334Wonder what''s up now?"
16334Wonder where the rest of the greaser''s herd is grazin''?"
16334Wonder who that is fannin''it this way?
16334Wonder who''s ablaze?"
16334Would Sundown condescend to grace their home with his presence again and soon?
16334Would he let the beautiful Anita know that he had been ignominiously"piled"by that pinto horse?
16334Would he-- with a gesture interpreting her speech-- be pleased to rest awhile?
16334Would the caballero accept the loan of horse and saddle?
16334Would the gentleman refresh himself by resting until the Señor returned?
16334Would the unfortunate caballero accept of their hospitality in the way of frijoles and some of the good coffee, perhaps?
16334Would this queer, ungainly man- thing saddle a horse and ride with the others, or would he now depart on foot, taking the trail to Antelope?
16334You ai n''t givin''me another josh, be you?"
16334You ai n''t got a pair of pants that ai n''t working have you?"
16334You ai n''t joshin'', be you?"
16334You and me''s friends, ai n''t we?"
16334You been travelin''all night too?"
16334You followed him to Fernando''s camp?"
16334You goin''to put them cattle back on the water- hole range?"
16334You of him?"
16334You remember?"
16334You sabe Concho?"
16334You the boss of creation?"
16334You was n''t foolin''me, then, when you said we''d be pals?"
16334You will remember the old Fernando, perhaps?"
16334Your head hurtin''much?"
16334Your pa in good health, and your ma?"
16334exclaimed Sundown, eyeing the dog sideways,"so it''s you, eh?
16334he hallooed,"are you in there?"
16334he managed to exclaim finally,"that there Nell Loring is a right fine gal, ai n''t she?"
16334he reiterated,"what you doin''here?"
16334he retorted,--"in the office of the Concho, at midnight?"
16334he said, ignoring the other''s proffered hand,"what you doin''here?"
16334queried Sundown, pointing toward the cañon,"Do they charge anything to see it?"
20223Allow what?
20223Am I to stay here, Motoza?
20223And what if they could? 20223 And who knows but that it contains valuable gold or silver mines?
20223And whom can your father trust before_ us_? 20223 Are all red men as bad as that?"
20223Are there any more of these animals left in the neighborhood?
20223Are they left wholly to themselves?
20223Are you afeard to do it?
20223Are you following a straight course to the ranch?
20223Are you looking for any one?
20223At what are you engaged just now?
20223Brothers want more?
20223But I know mine struck him somewhere,was Fred''s desperate exclamation;"could it have taken the same course as yours?"
20223But I s''pose you hain''t any''bjection to my giving the laugh to Bill?
20223But the father of the other boy-- the one that''s missing-- he''s rich too, ai n''t he?
20223But what awoke you?
20223But what good will that do? 20223 But what made that wound?"
20223But what of the agreement you would have to make before he gave me up?
20223But what''s the use of kicking?
20223Could not Motoza be made to swear against him?
20223Did n''t he admit as much to you?
20223Did you ever see the smoke of a camp- fire act like that?
20223Did you give him my message?
20223Did you go on to California?
20223Did you hear me?
20223Did you hear that?
20223Did you hurt him?
20223Did you notice where it landed?
20223Do n''t I look a little pale, Jack?
20223Do n''t you see that he had to make the ch''ice atween doing nothing at all or tackling the younker? 20223 Do you intend to stay on that side of the canyon?"
20223Do you know I had forgotten all about that? 20223 Do you know what he means, Bill?"
20223Do you mean to kill him, Hank?
20223Do you see him?
20223Do you see that crag that juts out from the side of the lower part of that peak?
20223Do you see that?
20223Do you still hold to that resolve?
20223Do you suppose he was frightened when he found there were two instead of one to face?
20223Do you suppose it was Hank, who wanted to have some fun with us?
20223Do you think I acted right, Fred?
20223Do you think he shot Fred?
20223Do you wish Fred and me to part company?
20223Do you wish he had n''t done so?
20223Hank,said Jack,"why did Motoza give us any of the venison?"
20223Have you ever seen the Eastern panther?
20223Have_ you_ thought of it?
20223He could have slain poor Fred in some other way, but do you believe he has done so?
20223He gib heap money fur_ you_, eh?
20223He gib thousand-- gib ten thousand-- hundred thousand-- million dollar-- eh?
20223He must have known I had n''t a mouthful of food?
20223He would n''t, eh? 20223 How about his revolver?"
20223How about_ me_?
20223How am I to spend the time?
20223How are we going to reach the other side?
20223How can we help it?
20223How can we know he''ll give up the younker after he gits the money?
20223How can you know that?
20223How did you find that out?
20223How do you make that out? 20223 How does Bowman''s ranch compare with others in Central Wyoming?"
20223How is he to learn, when he wo n''t go near it? 20223 How is it you are awake?"
20223How is it, Hank, that you do n''t keep any dogs?
20223How many months can you stay in Wyoming?
20223How many months?
20223How shall we make sure?
20223How should I know?
20223How should you know anything about it anyway?
20223How so?
20223How''d I know if I had n''t heard it?
20223How?
20223Howdy, brother?
20223Howdy, brother?
20223Howdy?
20223I do n''t know nothing''bout it; what are you driving at? 20223 I do n''t s''pose he made any objection-- that is, he gave you his gun without making a kick?"
20223I s''pose you mean that laugh? 20223 I suppose you know that Mr. Dudley, the father of my friend, owns half the ranch?"
20223I wish it were,was the honest exclamation of Jack Dudley;"but how was it he came to form his partnership with Motoza?"
20223I wonder if he sees us?
20223I wonder where Hank is; can it be that he, too, is watching in the neighborhood and has seen Motoza come out as I saw him? 20223 I wonder whether anything will happen to you?
20223I wonder whether he knows I have n''t got a firearm about me? 20223 I wonder whether he sees us?"
20223I wonder whether we would have done any better if we had brought a dog with us?
20223I wonder, Jack, whether there''s any risk of your falling asleep?
20223I wonder, now, if somebody has been there and stolen them?
20223If you want something to eat, why did you not come forward openly and ask for it?
20223In what direction?
20223Is he fiercer than the gray one?
20223Is that so?
20223Is the younker in there?
20223Is there any other way to talk?
20223It ca n''t be to_ us_?
20223It does n''t look as if you would; but what is your business? 20223 It will as soon as we find Fred,"said Jack, with a faint smile;"but what about yourself?"
20223Jack, what about the feelings of Motoza_ now_?
20223May I ask your errand thither?
20223Never; have you?
20223No; but I wonder whether we are going to stumble over them at every step?
20223Not soon enough, though, to keep you from obsarving what we''ve been talking about?
20223Now tell me who this man Tozer is?
20223O Jack, are you sure he bit you?
20223Of course it would spoil the enjoyment of Jack unless he could take Fred with him, but what excuse shall we make, Doc?
20223One of them young tenderfeet is missing, eh?
20223One of you stood guard last night while the other slept?
20223S''pose you bring him, and then I''ll ask his folks if they want to make you a present of five thousand dollars-- how''ll_ that_ work?
20223Say a Winchester rifle and a revolver apiece, with the proper ammunition; what sort of supplies did you think I meant?
20223Seems to keep it up, eh?
20223Since the fear of our testimony restrained him, why did he not seek to remove_ us_ in the same manner, when he has had more than one opportunity?
20223So that scamp is in the mountains? 20223 So you seen me, did you?"
20223Suppose I catch sight of one of the animals you name, or a dog Indian-- what shall I do?
20223Suppose I should convince him on that point, how about_ you_?
20223Suppose all does n''t go well?
20223Suppose something happens that will prevent my ever seeing them?
20223Suppose that danger comes in the form of an Indian; what would he care for half a dozen fires?
20223Suppose we are separated, and there is only one of us in camp?
20223Suppose_ you_ suggest something?
20223Sure there is n''t any mistake about that?
20223That''ll see us through till morning,said Jack,"but how about to- morrow and the next day?"
20223That''s the name I gin''rally go by; which one of you is Jack Dudley?
20223The younker has been here, but what the mischief has become of him?
20223Then it''s safe to set Motoza down as a friend?
20223Then one has to stand watch?
20223Then t''other one is Fred Greenwood, eh?
20223Then the canyon can not be as extended as we thought?
20223Then you came up the canyon from the break and went back again?
20223Then you have no doubt that Motoza is the cause of it all?
20223Then you intend to leave us?
20223Then, Hank, you''ll leave matters with me till I see you again?
20223There are other kinds of bears in Wyoming?
20223Wal, now, to git down to bus''ness, as you say; s''pose Doctor Greenwood sends word that he wo n''t or ca n''t raise the money you ask-- what then?
20223What about the black bear?
20223What about_ you_?
20223What are we likely to see?
20223What do those letters mean?
20223What do you make of it, Jack?
20223What do you mean by a maverick?
20223What do you mean by supplies?
20223What do you mean by treating Motoza right? 20223 What do you mean?"
20223What do you mean?
20223What do you suppose he was after?
20223What do you want with me, Motoza?
20223What does the scamp mean by doing that?
20223What give you that idee?
20223What good will it do us, so long as it is_ there_? 20223 What in the name of wonder is he doing down there?"
20223What is it?
20223What made you fire your gun''bout two hours ago?
20223What makes you so afeard he''ll hear us?
20223What other kinds of game are we likely to meet?
20223What should we do for our meals? 20223 What tribe does he belong to?"
20223What was the meaning of it?
20223What will Hank think, when he goes to camp to meet us?
20223What''ll you do?
20223What''s that?
20223When did you feel that bite?
20223When will that be?
20223When?
20223Where did you git your breakfast?
20223Where you hit him?
20223Where''s the younker?
20223Which way do you wish me to travel?
20223Who said there was only one of the imps?
20223Who, then, could it be?
20223Why are you so sure about Motoza?
20223Why both of them?
20223Why do you call them''dog Indians?''
20223Why not fall back on what we first talked about?
20223Why not?
20223Why not?
20223Why not?
20223Why of''_ us_?''
20223Why should he go back? 20223 Why would you wish to do that?"
20223Why?
20223Why?
20223Will he pay the money?
20223Will you keep your appointment with Tozer?
20223Wonder how it was with him?
20223Yes; who would have thought of such a thing?
20223You ca n''t, eh? 20223 You could n''t make it any too strong; how did he take it?"
20223You know how curious they are? 20223 You mean that he has forgotten where the stairs lead up to the top?"
20223You mean that we are to spend each night in this place?
20223You shot a buck, eh? 20223 You will, eh?
20223Your story begins with the first sight of the antelope; what happened afore that?
20223And did n''t Hank Hazletine"give him the laugh?"
20223And where, all this time, was old Ephraim?
20223Are we to give you the money afore you produce the younker?"
20223At the same moment that it was observed, a tiny point of light shone through the gloom, and some one called to them:"Is that you, Hank?"
20223Bok- kar- oo told me what you had told him; it''s queer business, is n''t it?"
20223But how about breakfast?"
20223But what are you waiting for?"
20223But what of it?
20223But what''bout Hank Hazletine?"
20223But what''s the use of one of us keeping guard here?"
20223Can it be Motoza has had anything to do with it?"
20223Could he believe his senses?
20223Could it be he would have to abandon his effort after making so fine a start?
20223Could it be possible?
20223Could it be possible?
20223Despite his own fixity of gaze, Hank noted what they were doing, and turning abruptly toward them, asked:"Do you obsarve anything''tic''lar?"
20223Did n''t you hear it?"
20223Did you hear that?"
20223Do you comprehend?"
20223Do you observe, young man, that the forenoon is well along and we have n''t had a sight of any game?"
20223Do you remember what that old settler told us on the train, a couple of days ago?"
20223Do you suppose I would allow you to spend a month in that wild region without a companion to look after you?
20223Does a football- player mind a little thing like that?
20223Fred was thoughtful a moment, and then asked:"Hank, what do you mean to do about Tozer?"
20223Hardly was he a hundred feet from the couple when Hazletine asked:"What''s up, Bill?"
20223Have you been to breakfast?"
20223Hazletine?"
20223He advanced with the same lengthy step and extended his hand with his hearty"Howdy?"
20223He might tramp back and forth for nights and days, but with no success, for Fred Greenwood was gone-- whither?
20223How does that strike you?"
20223How long would they have left me there without bringing me anything to eat?"
20223How much money will Motoza ask to produce the younker?"
20223How was it you knew where to look for me?"
20223How was it?"
20223How''s that appetite of yours?"
20223Howdy?"
20223I am not afraid to make the leap; are you?"
20223I can feel it all through my body; and do n''t you see that my ankle has begun to swell?"
20223I s''pose the Sioux will want the money afore he turns over the younker?"
20223I wonder if that can be brought about?"
20223I wonder whether Hank is ahead of us?"
20223I wonder whether anything can have befallen him?"
20223I wonder whether he believes I intend to idle my time till night and then go back to headquarters and wait for him?
20223I wonder whether, if we stayed out here a few years, our feelings would change?"
20223Jack and Fred laughed, too, until their sides ached; and who shall deny that there was not full cause for their merriment?
20223Meanwhile, where was Fred Greenwood?
20223Must he pick his way down the side of the canyon, again, to the cavern, and there meekly resume the torture of waiting for death from starvation?
20223Need it be said what followed?
20223Now, do n''t you think he will feel some gratitude for that?"
20223Now, if Doctor Greenwood has word by telegraph that he must pay five thousand dollars to git his younker back agin, what''ll he think?"
20223Now, why did n''t he go back?"
20223On the first of October you will start for Wyoming----""Alone?"
20223R.''?
20223R.''strike you?"
20223Rather is he not proud of his scars and bruises, which attest his skill and devotion to his own club?
20223Shall you or I unfold our brilliant scheme?"
20223So you made a trade with the young man?"
20223Suppose Jack reminds you of the fact?"
20223The elder took off his hat and called:"Are you ready?"
20223The guide slowly turned his head and looked fixedly at the youth before replying:"Would n''t you''ve heerd his gun?"
20223Then Jack asked, in an awed voice:"Did you see his face when he turned toward you just before walking away?"
20223Then he became cool again and asked:"Is it possible?"
20223Then with a voice and expression of scornful contempt, he asked:"What do you think of Motoza''s love for you and Fred?"
20223They listened, unconscious of the passage of the hours, until he abruptly asked:"What time is it?"
20223This was to be the prison of Fred Greenwood until when?
20223Turn back or keep on?
20223Wal, I s''pose you''re ready to start for the ranch, younkers?"
20223Was it safe to wait a minute or two longer?
20223What do you think of it, Hank?"
20223What do you think of it?"
20223What does that mean?"
20223What have you to say to_ that_?"
20223What more likely, therefore, than that he was conducting him to some remote place, where his body would never be found?
20223What reason, then, has he fur saying Bill had anything to do with the bus''ness?"
20223What should he do?
20223What was the ultimate intention of the Sioux?
20223What would have been the course of Hazletine had he seen Motoza, not doubting, as he did, the guilt of the miscreant?
20223What''s frightened the ponies?"
20223What''s the next step?"
20223When was he to be released, or was he not to be released at all?
20223Where''s your baggage?"
20223Why did n''t you shoot the chap?"
20223Why did you let him have any of it?"
20223Why do you steal into our camp like a thief of the night?"
20223Why does n''t he stay with us?
20223Why had he not searched there before?
20223Why not climb the side of the canyon?
20223Why, then, should they place themselves in such great danger when they had nothing to gain and all to lose by doing so?
20223Why, therefore, should not mercy be shown to him?
20223Wo n''t he feel cheap?"
20223Would you wish to harm the emblem of our country?"
20223You call Motoza tief, eh?"
20223You did n''t kill any Injins?"
20223_ Do you hear?_"The demand was made in a loud voice and accompanied by a threatening step toward the Indian, who showed no fear.
20223can it be?"
20223demanded Jack, his face flushed, and his anger greater than before;"did n''t you hear me ask for my gun?"
20223he exclaimed to himself;"what can have become of him?"
20223he said, with ludicrous dismay;"there ai n''t nothing wrong in_ that_, is there?"
20223howdy, brother?
20223repeated the wondering Jack Dudley;"what do you mean by that?"
20223you fader hab heap money, eh?"
15159About how old is she?
15159Ai n''t this court a notary, too?
15159And ai n''t a notary entitled to so much fee for administerin''a oath? 15159 And by the way, what''s that old shell over there, across the ditch?"
15159And so he threw away his chance?
15159And some of the songs?
15159And them twins, was they mine, real? 15159 And when you sung that''Annie Laurie''song, did you have any coschume to go along with that?"
15159And you''re going up the country still farther?
15159And you''ve never opened it?
15159Andersen,said I, moving up to the group,"did you ever hear of such things as champerty and maintenance?
15159Any women folks in town, anywhere?
15159As I was saying,continued Dan Anderson,"what''s a breakfast or two among friends?"
15159Bring any word down with you from up there?
15159But did n''t you live in New York once yourself?
15159But how about your courts? 15159 But how do you live?
15159But what have you got out here?
15159But what you goin''to do? 15159 But why did you come?"
15159But why?
15159But yourself?
15159But, Curly,cried Constance,"is n''t it dangerous?
15159But, man,I cried,"you do n''t mean to say that the girl''s coming, too?"
15159Ca n''t you hit it?
15159Ca n''t you see that any woman on earth, even a married woman, is four- thirds foolishness and the rest human? 15159 Comin''down here?
15159Did he say that?
15159Did he send you down here?
15159Did he? 15159 Did n''t he say he could n''t remember whether he was in the Army or the Navy?
15159Did n''t see the Littlest Girl?
15159Did n''t you kill the pig? 15159 Did n''t you order two pounds of alum the last trip Tom made?
15159Did you notice, Curly,asked Dan Anderson--"did you get a chance to see the name on the record of the singer who-- who perpetrated this?"
15159Did_ what_?
15159Do n''t that sound like the Plaza Major in old Chihuahua by moonlight?
15159Do n''t we eat?
15159Do n''t you know it''s Sunday?
15159Do n''t you like these mountings, ma''am?
15159Do n''t you suppose I can see? 15159 Do n''t you think you''d like Heart''s Desire?"
15159Do you have any amusements? 15159 Do you mean to tell me that?"
15159Do you reckon Dan Anderson would be gettin''_ anybody_ to write to_ you_ for him if he had even a piece of a arm left in the shop? 15159 Do you suppose a Wellesley girl, accustomed steady to high thinkin'', ca n''t get along with a little plain livin''once in a while?
15159Do you take this for a low- down placer camp?
15159Do you use tabasco with your_ frijoles_?
15159Do you want any drugs?
15159Do you want to bust up your marriage with the girl from Kansas?
15159Doc,said Curly to Doc Tomlinson,"you run the drug store-- ain''t you got no anecdote for this?"
15159From Heart''s Desire? 15159 From dogs to politics-- wasn''t that a little singular?"
15159From where?
15159Has Chacon come across from Arizona, or has the Kid broke out again?
15159Has it caught_ you_, ma''am?
15159Have we asked you to do anything but straight business?
15159Have ye annything to drink?
15159He_ will_ live?
15159Heart''s Desire?
15159Him? 15159 Him?"
15159How about that town site? 15159 How about the stone house down the_ arroyo_?"
15159How are you, and what''s the news?
15159How can we_ help_ it, when it looks so pretty, and tastes so good? 15159 How come that?"
15159How could I?
15159How could he?
15159How dare you intrude on me?
15159How did you happen to come?
15159How do you know_ she''ll_ be there?
15159How long has that bottle been there?
15159How much title have they got? 15159 How would it do to charter him for our local counsel?
15159How you feelin''now?
15159How''re you feelin''now, man?
15159How-- that is, how do you do?
15159I beg pardon?
15159I loved_ you_, Constance-- what could_ I_ do? 15159 I said the first feller drifted into vet''inary lines, did n''t I?"
15159I wanted-- I hoped so much? 15159 I wonder if he''d tell?"
15159I wonder,said she, gently,"how he happened to come out here-- how any one happened to come out here?"
15159Indeed?
15159Is anything wrong?
15159Is his arm gone?
15159Is it from him, young Anderson?
15159Is it signed with your heart, Dan?
15159Is it true?
15159Is she going to die?
15159Is that satisfactory?
15159Is that so?
15159Is_ any_body?
15159It''s a good show; but, tell us, what are you doin''? 15159 It''s perty, ai n''t it, ma''am?"
15159Kill whom? 15159 Kin you disguise your handwritin''any, Tom?"
15159Lately organized?
15159Lawyer?
15159Letter? 15159 Me go back there and work on a salary for you?
15159Me, with my thirst?
15159Me? 15159 Meanin''Guinevere?"
15159Meanin''he''d get well?
15159My law practice? 15159 Natural,"said Tom;"but why special?"
15159Natural? 15159 Nice way to act, ai n''t it, when you''re ast out to dinner in the best society of the place?
15159No government-- no nothing? 15159 No, why should I?
15159No?
15159Nor any town election?
15159Not much law and order, eh?
15159Now I want to ask you, friend, if this ai n''t just a leetle the dashed blamedest, hottest Christmas dinner ever was pulled off?
15159Now, Pinto,he pondered,"whatever in the world am I goin''to do when we all pull into town?
15159Now, about my daughter-- is there any hotel-- are there any women?
15159Now, now, child,he began,"what''s up here?
15159Oh, there was n''t, was n''t there?
15159Oh, why, oh, why this profligacy, Doc?
15159Passengers?
15159Prithee, sweet sirs,said he, at length,"what in blazes you doin''?"
15159Put''em in a box?
15159Quite a house, is n''t it?
15159Real estate just a little dull?
15159Reckon they was a pretty lively bunch to hold,suggested Curly;"but what happened next?"
15159S''pose we stop along somewhere in here,he suggested,"and eat a little lunch?
15159Say, it was fine, was n''t it, Christmas? 15159 Say, this is pretty_ poor_, ai n''t it, Curly?"
15159See here, man,said he,"how about this here new railroad?
15159Sheriff? 15159 So this is the way men live out here?"
15159So this is the way you live?
15159So you came West?
15159So you''ll build me a town, in order to get me work? 15159 Some different here now, ai n''t it?"
15159Some one unscrewed the press?
15159Supposin''he finds out?
15159Tell me,_ tell_ me, how did it happen?
15159That shorely would_ fetch_ her,said Curly, admiringly,"but how you goin''to fix it?"
15159That so? 15159 That so?
15159That you, Ben?
15159That''s a nice thing, ai n''t it, for Eastern Capital, or a woman, to see the first thing?
15159That? 15159 The air is delightful-- isn''t it a beautiful world?"
15159Them?
15159Then it_ is_ dangerous?
15159Then that was the real King of Gee- Whiz?
15159Then what happened?
15159Then what_ shall_ we say, man?
15159Then who done et the legs?
15159Then why did n''t you talk that way before?
15159Then you do n''t give up the railroad?
15159Then you think there might be something here, after all?
15159Then you''ll go along?
15159This all the men you''ve got?
15159Three breakfasts before ten o''clock?
15159Was he game? 15159 Was it_ my_ fault I got married?"
15159Was that a house, too? 15159 We know there was n''t ever any town site here,"added Uncle Jim Brothers,"but what need was there?
15159Well, Andersen,Mr. Ellsworth said, extending a hand,"how are you?
15159Well, sir, it bein''a letter to a lady--"You mean my daughter? 15159 Well, then, what did you do?"
15159Well, what is it?
15159Well, why do n''t she_ say_ so, then,grumbled Curly,"and stop this foolishness?"
15159Wh-- where did they come from?
15159What about this lawyer of yours?
15159What are you doing out here by yourself? 15159 What are you tellin''me?"
15159What brand did Lancelot ride under? 15159 What did she say then?"
15159What do you advise your counsel to advise you?
15159What girl?
15159What happened to him?
15159What is it like?
15159What is there here?
15159What made you come away?
15159What made you come?
15159What poison-- what has the child taken?
15159What service is zere here? 15159 What shall I do?"
15159What shall we do? 15159 What was he to do?
15159What will you do?
15159What would they want with drugs? 15159 What''ll we do?"
15159What''s all this about?
15159What''s happened to you?
15159What''s it all about, Curly?
15159What''s not true?
15159What''s that you mean?
15159What''s that, Curly?
15159What''s that? 15159 What''s that?"
15159What''s that?
15159What''s the matter with Tom?
15159What''s the matter with you?
15159What''s the matter? 15159 What''s the matter?"
15159What''s the name of the family?
15159What''s the trouble here? 15159 What''s up, Ben?"
15159What''s up?
15159What-- what-- what do you want?
15159What?
15159What_ chance_ does a merchant get in this town? 15159 When?"
15159Where can I get a gun?
15159Where is it?
15159Where shall we go?
15159Where you goin''to take us?
15159Where''d we git it?
15159Where''s Blackman?
15159Where''s some grease-- some lard? 15159 Where''s your titles?"
15159Who besides us and poor old dad?
15159Who done the intrudin''?
15159Who were they?
15159Who''s in? 15159 Who-- me?
15159Who? 15159 Why ai n''t I?"
15159Why all this foolishness about a college girl with a shirtwaist and a straw hat?
15159Why ca n''t you?
15159Why did n''t he stay home, then?
15159Why is n''t it? 15159 Why should there be?"
15159Why would n''t they?
15159Why''ll we have to? 15159 Why, how?
15159Why, where''d you s''pose we got it? 15159 Why,"said he, at length,"ai n''t you heard?
15159Why? 15159 Why?"
15159Will we go to the bad place?
15159You ca n''t think of no way but States ways, can you? 15159 You came from the South?"
15159You do n''t mean to tell me, young man,he spoke after a long period of silence,"that this is the way you live?"
15159You got any palfreys on your ranch, Curly? 15159 You live here?
15159You remember,said he--"up there-- the other time?"
15159You want me to come up to Heart''s Desire to sing? 15159 You''d give me_ what_?
15159You''ve got me guessing in a good many ways,he said;"I do n''t know why you came here--""No?"
15159You-- you wo n''t tell?
15159_ Kin savvy_?
15159''I say,''said Sir Harry,''this is a great go, is n''t it?
15159''Is this the patient?''
15159Ai n''t it awful?"
15159Ai n''t it nice?
15159Ai n''t it_ always_ been the law?"
15159Ai n''t she a yaller flower?
15159Ai n''t that so?"
15159Ai n''t that the law in this country?
15159Ai n''t you playin''it just a little bit lonesome this way?"
15159And as soon as we get to a telegraft office, we fire the general counsel, Mr. Barkley; do n''t we, Miss Constance?"
15159And did n''t I administer twelve oaths?"
15159And does it look any like Mac has studied bakery doin''s out on the Carrizoso ranch?
15159And hate-- hate-- why, ca n''t you feel the simmerin'', boilin''hatred of that States girl just raisin''the temperature of this land of Canaan?
15159And might we-- er-- ask whose are they?"
15159And now tell me, where''ll she stop?"
15159And presently,"Is that_ so_?"
15159And who shall cast the first stone?
15159And yet you say this criminal is not dangerous?"
15159And yet, what could be done?
15159Anderson?"
15159Are there ever any entertainments?"
15159As for women folks, why ca n''t Curly''s girl take care of her?
15159Attorney and Counsellor- at- law, all hours of the day and night: that bill of specifications is engraved on my brow, ai n''t it?
15159Besides that--""Besides what?"
15159Besides, Bill would n''t tell, would you, Bill?"
15159Besides, where can a white girl live in this place?
15159But as to this man from Heart''s Desire, how came it that he was not here at the hotel, near to his operatic divinity?
15159But by the way, Mac, where''s that other can of oysters?
15159But how about the twins?
15159But how''re you a- goin''to_ do_ that?"
15159But now tell me, what ails_ you_?
15159But now, fellers, what I was goin''to say is, there''s mice, or rats, got in on this range some how, and they--""Why did n''t you put''em in a box?"
15159But now, what brought you here?
15159But was them two the only ones that went?"
15159But what was I saying?"
15159But what was he goin''to do?
15159But what you goin''to do?
15159But who''ll take care of_ you_?"
15159But why do n''t you put your money in your pocket?
15159By the way, how did you happen to come down here, after all, Anderson?"
15159Ca n''t you hear the choo- choo, and the wee- wee, and the bum- bum?
15159Ca n''t you hit that stake?"
15159Ca n''t you see her?
15159Ca n''t you smell the cold cream?"
15159Charles D. Bastrop, who is your representative in the Congress of the United States and who has always et cetera, et cetera?
15159Comin''into Basswood Junction he turns to his Honorable Secretary, and says he,''Jimmy, what''s this?''
15159Cook?''
15159Death- bed?
15159Did Dan Anderson whisper a word and did she flush faint and rosy?
15159Did he hurt you any?"
15159Did he summons any of our men along?"
15159Did n''t notice my old grays a- doin''that none, when we come up, did you?
15159Did n''t you never hear about that?
15159Did you ever stop to think that you ca n''t give me_ anything_?"
15159Did you say you knew him before, that is, to get a line on him, before he came out here?"
15159Do I make all this clear to you, gentlemen?
15159Do n''t you ever sort of imagine things yourself, man?"
15159Do we want it, or_ do_ we?
15159Do you happen to know?"
15159Do you hear that?
15159Do you know anything about this house here?
15159Do you reckon a hair lariat, or a new pair of spurs, is any decent remedy for a girl''s wownded affections?
15159Do you reckon he''d be good fried?"
15159Do you reckon you could qualify?"
15159Do you see?"
15159Do you suppose my men is goin''to take to clubs, like Digger Injuns?"
15159Do you think Dan Anderson has took to pastry along with the statoots made and pervided?
15159Do you think I''d uncover her name, even among my friends-- make her affairs public?
15159Do you want a dish towel?
15159Do you want to pass up the first lawsuit ever held in the county?
15159Does a chance lady caller in this city need a_ thousand_ women to entertain her?
15159Does he see her show her teeth and bat her eyes when she''s fetchin''one of them hand- curled trills of hers?
15159Ellsworth?"
15159Ellsworth?"
15159Ever see ary railroad back in the States that throwed in ham and aigs?
15159For instance, about how much did you make last year in your business?"
15159Gentlemen, what is your pleasure?"
15159Had he been just to her, to Constance, in allowing himself to accept her alleged conduct as a motive for his own actual conduct?
15159Hate us?
15159Have I got to start it for you?
15159Have you asked the girl about it yet?"
15159Have you got a copy of the''Proud Earl''s Revenge,''in your pocket?"
15159Have you got any claims of your own in here?
15159He had believed his friends, had had friends to believe; would these walking at his side be better friends?
15159He had taken for granted much-- all-- and upon what manner of testimony?
15159He looks at us, and says he;--"''Is this a sheep outfit I see before me, or is it the remnants of the former cow camp on the Bar T?''
15159He to be deprived of his opportunity thus lightly?
15159He was too-- ill.""Sent for you?"
15159He''s dead, you say?
15159Heart''s Heart, and life of my life, could you not see?
15159Here you, Anderson, can you see that rope from where you are?
15159Here you,--Susy-- Airey,--have you seen Bill a- eatin''the ornyment?"
15159Him?
15159How are you feeling, friend?"
15159How are you fixed here?"
15159How can he help it?
15159How can you riffuse?"
15159How could he ever face her now?
15159How could he learn if she had indeed come?
15159How did Charlie Allen get killed over at Sumner?
15159How did he say it to her, now, when he sent for the beautiful queen?"
15159How much did the boys pay me?"
15159How saith the psalmist?
15159How''d our Delergate look spreadin''jelly cake?
15159How''s that?
15159Huh?"
15159Huh?"
15159I asked Dan Anderson bitterly,"now that you''ve been ass enough to allow this girl to come on down in here?
15159I been married four times, or maybe five, so what''s a woman here or there to me?
15159I s''pose you think the_ po_lice ought to catch a bad man, do n''t you?"
15159I''d look well, tryin''to climb a tree with my legs this way, would n''t I?
15159If old Mr. Railroad comes up this_ arroyo_, what happens to me?
15159If you never had any town site filed, how were real- estate transfers made?"
15159If, indeed, this opportunity should come to him, might not all of this one day be possible?
15159Is he strong enough man for that?"
15159Is it a confectionery shop they''ve got, I wonder?
15159Is it so?"
15159Is that so?"
15159It was a great day for Blackman, J. P."Do I know this man, this cow puncher?"
15159Keep?
15159Law-- title-- security-- what more of these could these men bring to Heart''s Desire than it had long had already?
15159Let''em steal all the cows they want, and kill everybody they feel like?"
15159Looks like the court was some rusty, do n''t it?"
15159Madame Donatelli?
15159Man, have n''t you any sympathy?"
15159Me check my immortal soul on your hat- rack?
15159Me live scared of my life, like all the rest of the slaves in that infernal system of living, that hell?
15159Me?"
15159Mineral, I mean?"
15159Moreover, and bitterest of all for a loyal man of Heart''s Desire, was there not a glance, a word between them?
15159My folks was in the fightin''some; and so I drifted here,""You came from Georgia?"
15159My letter--_what_ letter?"
15159Never did get his town site platted and filed?
15159Never left a will, or any heirs?
15159No counterfeit there regardin''a happy home-- cuttin''out the bass voice and givin''''em a leetle better line of grass and water, eh?
15159Nothing matters much, does it?"
15159Now can you both guess who that man is?"
15159Now suppose we get Anderson to himself and talk things over with him a little?
15159Now what does she sing?
15159Now who knows what that poor family from Kansas is having for Christmas dinner?
15159Now, if that''s so, what would you do if you was in our place?"
15159Now, in what way can we be useful to each other?"
15159Now, is it?''
15159Now, not doubting your intentions in the least, did you ever come that near to corralling the whole visible supply of cash in your own town?
15159Now, say, is this here railroad figurin''on comin''in here, or not?"
15159Now, there she''s settin'', right at the pianny, and sort of lettin''her fingers run up and down--""Tra- la- loo- loo, loo- loo- la- la?"
15159Now, what can you tell us by this time?"
15159Now, what happens after that?"
15159Now, why could n''t it have been a man- Dago to sing that air into the tuneful horn of the mechanical heavenly maid yonder?
15159Now, why,_ why_, could n''t she have taken a fellow of her size, and not gone and made trouble for Tom Osby?
15159Oh, Willyam, what shall we do?"
15159Oh, why did n''t that old fool Godfrey call their attention the other way?
15159Oh, you can pay for the_ pig_ easy enough; but how about the majesty of the law?
15159Oh, you mean down at the county- seat?
15159Or was it Republicans?
15159Or, what made us intrude?"
15159Question is, how''s she a- feelin''toward_ him_ these days?"
15159Run?
15159Run?
15159Say, ca n''t we salt this one?
15159Say, now, you ai n''t sick, are you?"
15159Sell out?
15159Shall I wake it up?
15159Shall New Mexico be behind New York, or New England?
15159Should I put in twenty thousand dollars''vort of goots, and make a mistake of der blace vere a town should be?
15159Should we dread the decision of this distinguished servant of the Law?
15159Should we therefore fear it?
15159Should we, after all, criticise these two descendants of the first sweet human woman of the world?
15159Sir Harry was taking a bawth in a wash- hand basin--""What''s that?"
15159So what do you advise?"
15159Suppose that there should be, after all, some work for him to do?
15159Suppose, after all, there should be for him, stranded in this out- of- the- way corner of the world, a chance for some sort of business success?
15159Tell me, did you want to see me?"
15159That Mobile song?
15159That ai n''t our business-- but how do you know?"
15159That cake?
15159That song about Gingerbread?
15159That''s hard for you to understand, ai n''t it?
15159The Kid?
15159Then what did he do?
15159Then, who''s the worse_ off_ for it?
15159Turn the whole town over to you folks?
15159Vooman, vooman, ah, have you no harret?
15159Was Arabella quite well of her accident?
15159Was everything right with them?
15159Was he a tall, slim man, longish mustache, sorter thin?"
15159Was he surprised to see you- all this morning?
15159Was he, their accepted friend, to be the first?
15159Was his wife well?
15159Was it us?
15159Was it you, Curly, who made these different and several_ pasears_ in progress?
15159Was it you, Doc, you benighted stray from the short- grass Kansas plains, where they ca n''t raise Kafir corn?
15159Was it you, McKinney, you sour- dispositioned consumer of canned peas?
15159Was n''t he seen a- doin''the act?"
15159Was n''t there plenty of room for everybody?"
15159Was n''t this man dangerous?"
15159Was she always to be repudiated, shamed?
15159Was that sort of thing actually true?
15159Was you goin''out on the stage?
15159Was, eh?
15159We led old Pinto out, and some feller standin''by, he says, sarcastic like,''What''s that I see comin''; a snow- plough?''
15159We was a- settin''here, calm and peaceful, eating_ frijoles_, who intruded?
15159We''ve got him retained permanent, ai n''t we, Dan?
15159Were they now to be made more obvious, or more strong?
15159What are we here for, you, and you, and me, if it ai n''t to set in trile over such britches of the peace?"
15159What are you afraid of?"
15159What are you doin''there?
15159What are you doing out here?
15159What are you goin''to_ do_?
15159What brought McKinney here, and Doc Tomlinson, and all the rest?"
15159What could I do?"
15159What do I get for carrying a full line of drugs here for years?
15159What do we do then?
15159What do you care about that?
15159What do you do?"
15159What do you want of so many drugs, anyhow?"
15159What does Tom Osby see in that horn that he''s lookin''into?

10404Did they get him?
10404Did you hear yore master''s voice? 10404 Did you know he was traveling south with you-- had been since yesterday afternoon?"

10404He wo n''t take it, will he?
10404Hell''s hinges, you ai n''t standin''there tellin''me that a Cree breed is too good for Bully West, are you?

10404IS A''WELL WI''YOU, LASS?
10404If that Bully West finds me here, after he''s killed you, d''you think I can get him to let me go because it was n''t my fight?
10404If they get me, will you try to save Miss McRae? 10404 If you do n''t let me up--""You''ll do what?"
10404If you''re trying to tell me that you''re in love with some girl--"Have n''t I been trying to tell you for a year?
10404In business?
10404In what book did you read that?
10404Is Beresford?
10404Is a''well wi''you, lass?
10404Is he your rival?
10404Is he-- is he--?
10404Is it because she hates you that she wants you to come to supper to- night?
10404Is it that this iss your fight, Mistair Morse?
10404Is it the wrong night? 10404 Is it you, lass?"
10404Is n''t he?
10404Is she a half or a quarter- breed?
10404Is this a hold- up-- or what?
10404Is your wife worse?
10404It''s all very well to joke, but--"Shall I ask him?
10404Just what would I be doing?
10404Keep him in the States, will you?
10404Keep your brains whittled up, do n''t you? 10404 Kinda expensive to irrigate the prairie that way, ai n''t it?"

10404Meaning?
10404No comments, son? 10404 No light at all?"
10404No what?
10404No, was he?
10404None of you other gentlemen noticed either, did you?
10404Not worth the powder, is he, sir?
10404Noticed any trouble among the Crees lately-- that is, any more than usual?
10404Now why this change of heart?
10404Of my rival?
10404Oh, I come in there, do I? 10404 Oh, she''s yours, is she?"
10404Oh, that''s it?
10404Onistah?
10404Plans? 10404 Question is, in what direction?
10404Quick on the shoot?
10404Red- coats? 10404 Scared, are you?"
10404Shall we talk of cats or kings?
10404Smashed''em with her own hands-- is that what you mean? 10404 So you took her home?"
10404Still sulky, eh? 10404 Studied the Indians any-- the effect of alcohol on them?"
10404Suits me if it does you,Tom answered cheerfully,"But where do I come in?
10404Tha''so?
10404That all?
10404That any o''my business-- or yours?
10404That so? 10404 The end of the Indian-- is that what it means?
10404Then Whaley''s dead?
10404Then you did n''t want him to go?
10404They was driftin''up the pass to say''How- d''you- do?'' 10404 Think I do n''t see yore game?
10404Think you can make a fool of Bully West? 10404 Thinks it''s bad business, does he?"
10404This yore put- in, Brad?
10404Thought you''d slip one over on the old man, eh? 10404 Took by surprise, ai n''t you?"
10404Took her back to camp, did you? 10404 Want it charged to the Force, I reckon?"
10404Was n''t it because you wanted him to?
10404Well, we gave him a chance to- night, did n''t we? 10404 West shot him?
10404West?
10404Wha''s the matter with me? 10404 Whad he mean when he said you could tell me how he''d settled with her?"

10404What do you think?
10404What do you want?
10404What do you want?
10404What do you want?
10404What does this mean? 10404 What else can he do?
10404What for?
10404What for?
10404What good will he be if you find West? 10404 What in Halifax--?"
10404What in the devil was bitin''you, Morse? 10404 What picture in what locket?"
10404What was the real reason he did n''t come?

10404What''s that? 10404 What''s that?
10404What''s that?
10404What''s that?
10404What''s that?
10404What''s that?
10404What''s this I hear about Bully West escaping from jail?
10404What''s wrong with him? 10404 What''s yore play?
10404What''s your rush? 10404 What?"
10404What?
10404When did I hire out as your flunkey, West?
10404When it''s finished who gets it?
10404Where are we?
10404Where are you taking me?
10404Where did you hear all that?
10404Where do they get it?
10404Where have you been?
10404Where in Heligoland you come from?
10404Where is Father?
10404Where is she?
10404Where were they? 10404 Where you at, Dawn?
10404Where you been all this time?
10404Where your snowshoes?
10404Where''ll I go?
10404Where''s the liquor?
10404Where''s your father''s camp?
10404Who do you think deserves it?
10404Why did n''t you knock?
10404Why did n''t you wake me, Win? 10404 Why did you do it?"
10404Why do n''t you send for your friend Morse?
10404Why do you say that? 10404 Why do you want to saw off an old maid on that two- fisted man you''ve knew ever since he was knee- high to a grasshopper?
10404Why make two bites of a cherry, sir? 10404 Why must n''t I?"
10404Why wo n''t she?
10404Why would she do that? 10404 Why?"
10404Why?
10404Why?
10404Why?
10404Why?
10404Will you accept?
10404Will you be responsible for him?
10404Will you leave my daughter oot o''your talk, man?
10404Will you show McRae too-- and all his friends, as well as the North- West Mounted? 10404 With-- without a trial?
10404Without food?
10404Wo n''t have a thing to do, will I?
10404Wo n''t talk, eh? 10404 Yes, but-- Do you mean that maybe it has something to do with me?
10404Yes?
10404You Jessie McRae?
10404You aimin''to-- to murder me?
10404You could n''t have done it better if you''d done it on purpose, could you?
10404You did come, then?
10404You do n''t know where they are, of course?
10404You do n''t mean you''re going up there alone to bring back that-- that wolf- man?
10404You do, eh? 10404 You figure on obeyin''orders and lettin''it go at that?"
10404You gave him your word on that, Jess?
10404You goin''too?
10404You gon na sleep all day? 10404 You mean-- about the whipping?"
10404You ready?
10404You smashed my whiskey- barrels?
10404You still intend to arrest me?
10404You tryin''to scare me?
10404You went to this trader''s camp and ruined his goods?
10404You will have yore li''l joke, eh? 10404 You will hide in the woods, wo n''t you, so they ca n''t find you?"
10404You will, wo n''t you?
10404You''re going home?
10404You''re here, eh? 10404 You''re not a demonstrative husband, then?"
10404You-- all well?
10404You-- you and he have n''t had any-- quarrel?
10404You?
10404You?
10404''M''stands for McRae, does n''t it?"
10404Ai n''t I jus''been tellin''you how he wrecked the whole show-- how he sold out to that bunch of spies the Canadian Gov''ment has done sent up there?"
10404Ai n''t I knowed him since he was a li''l''bit of a tad?
10404Ai n''t none of you got any guts?"
10404All that will take money, is it not so?"
10404Am I lying awake nights thinking about him, do you think?"
10404Am I to go up an''ask Bully West where he keeps his fire- water cached?
10404Am I?
10404An''what do they want?
10404And after that, where?"
10404And even if they had supplies, how could she live alone for days with this man in a cabin eight by ten?
10404And how did you get''em without a six- shooter?"
10404And how many?
10404And how was it possible that they would not find him?
10404And when did I do it?"
10404And why do n''t West ever stray a foot outa the path that''s broke?
10404Any advice you''d like to give?"
10404Any objections?"
10404Any one would''a''been now, would n''t they?
10404Anyways, after what Lemoine found out--""What did he find out?
10404Are ye talkin''havers, lass?"
10404Beresford?"
10404But how''d you like to be sitting down to one of Jessie McRae''s suppers?
10404But if she had n''t flown, what had become of her?
10404But not as bad as it did, does it?
10404But what of her?
10404But why should any one do such a foolish, wasteful thing as this, one to so little purpose in its destructiveness?
10404But why?
10404CHAPTER V MORSE JUMPS UP TROUBLE"Threw me down, did n''t you?"
10404CHAPTER XIX"D''YOU WONDER SHE HATES ME?"
10404CHAPTER XXVIII"IS A''WELL WI''YOU, LASS?"
10404Can you do that if the trappers-- friends of McRae, nearly all of''em-- carry the word of what you did to this girl?"
10404Could he by sheer dominance of will change her opinion of him?
10404Could he have made a mistake?
10404Could n''t say fairer than that, could I?"
10404Could she do this dreadful thing, even to save honor and life, though she knew the man must be twice a murderer?
10404D''you s''pose I have n''t eyes in my head?"
10404D''you wonder she hates me?"
10404Did I bring you up i''the fear o''the Lord to slash at men wi''your dirk an''fight wi''them like a wild limmer?
10404Did he despise her?
10404Did he think she was an ordinary squaw, one to be whipped as a matter of discipline by her owner?
10404Did he?
10404Did n''t I promise Angus McRae I''d pay him back aplenty for kickin''me outa his hide camp?
10404Did n''t he drag him back with cuffs on''most a year later?
10404Did n''t he go up Peace River after Pierre Poulette?
10404Did n''t he make him smash the barrels?
10404Did n''t he take away his six- gun from him and bring him along like he had n''t any mind of his own?
10404Did there really live men so heartless that they would not lift a hand to snatch a child from a ferocious wolf?
10404Do I have to tell you all my plans?
10404Do I look peaked?
10404Do n''t hardly pay to hold grudges, does it?
10404Do n''t we get any grub?
10404Do n''t you know better''n to jump up trouble thataway?"
10404Do n''t you know you ca n''t catapult through a man''s tummy with a young pine tree and not injure his physical geography?"
10404Do n''t you think?"
10404Do you know what you''re up against?
10404Do you?"
10404Earned it, did n''t you?
10404Figured you could gimme the double- cross an''git away with it?
10404For what purpose?
10404Get me?
10404Great American Desert?
10404Guess you better go home an''cool off, had n''t you?
10404Guess you''re a little hot under the collar, ai n''t you?
10404Had he not seen her go straight to his arms after her horrible experience with West?
10404Has he gone crazy?"
10404Have I got ta starve while you pound yore ear?"
10404Have n''t you rather taken the poor fellow for granted?"
10404He could n''t very well resent that, could he?
10404He had n''t a thing to do with it, had he?"
10404He''s always happy, is n''t he?
10404He''s not Angus McRae''s son, is he?"
10404Hear me?"
10404How about it?"
10404How about you?"
10404How am I going to hang it on them?
10404How can it?
10404How could I have any objections?"
10404How did it happen?"
10404How far would the gambler go in opposition to the other?
10404How would they live if a blizzard blew up and snowed them in?
10404How''re tricks?"
10404How''s the programme suit you?"
10404Hungry?"
10404I said, what was yore squaw name?"
10404If he says so, is n''t that enough?"
10404If there''s shootin''I''m in on it, ai n''t I?"
10404Is he sick, d''you reckon?"
10404Is he-- is he killed?"
10404Is n''t that enough?
10404Is n''t that just fine?"
10404Is n''t this whiskey- smuggling bad business all round?"
10404Is that it?"
10404Is that why I''m asked this time?"
10404Is there a girl living that would n''t?
10404Is this what he wants?
10404Lemoine?"
10404Like to meet him?"
10404Malbrouck s''en va- t- en guerre, eh?
10404Morse, are n''t you?"
10404Morse?"
10404Nobody left but the Hudson''s Bay Company trappers, d''you reckon?"
10404Not soldiers, are they?"
10404Now have I, McRae?
10404Or did the big bully mean to manhandle him?
10404Or forward?
10404Or is n''t it?"
10404Or make a break for a getaway?
10404Or think her officious?
10404Or was his warning merely the snarl of one wolf at another?
10404Or what?"
10404Out of grub, d''you think?"
10404Passin''it up to Uncle Newt, eh?"
10404Question now is, do I get a gun?"
10404Shall we handcuff him nights?"
10404Since then-- well, you could n''t call him a cheerful traveling companion, could you?
10404Since when?"
10404Sneaked home to try to square yourself with the old man, did ya?"
10404Still, since she was his friend, ought she not to just drop an offhand hint that he was a more useful citizen where he was than in the Mounted?
10404Still--"What''s eatin''you?"
10404Talk about Porcupine Creek, eh?
10404That does n''t take us very far, does it?"
10404That the idee you''re figurin''on makin''me live up to?"
10404Then where was she?
10404Then, abruptly, he snapped out:"Who was responsible for that crazy business of you coming out into the open?"
10404Then,"D''you mean light out to- night?"
10404They sell liquor to Fergus and to--""Gin that''s true, is it your business to ram- stam in an''destroy ither folks''property?
10404Think I ca n''t see you?
10404Think I do n''t know?
10404Think I''d make a good deacon?"
10404Think I''m gon na leave her to mush out an''put the police on my trail?
10404Think you can bust up our cargo an''get away with it?
10404Think you can make out?"
10404Tough sleddin''?"
10404Un''erstand, Stomak- o- sox?
10404Un''erstand?"
10404Un''erstand?"
10404Un''erstand?"
10404Un''erstand?"
10404Understand?"
10404Understand?"
10404Understand?"
10404Was he playing a deep game of his own in which she was merely a pawn?
10404Was he sorry because he had forced her father to horsewhip her?
10404Was he, away down out of sight, the kind of man toward women that West and Whaley were?
10404Was it likely she would listen to any regrets, any explanations?
10404Was it possible for one to take such a terrific mauling and not succumb?
10404Was it to be a gun- play?
10404Was it to be now?
10404Was that the reason he had held himself so aloof from her?
10404Was there a mystery about his life?
10404Was there another way up from behind?
10404Was there any use in going out on such a wild- hare chase?
10404Was this lone traveler West?
10404Was this red- coat alone?
10404We''d better find out whose picture it is, had n''t we?"
10404Were all the fair skins mad?
10404Were n''t you expectin''me?"
10404Were they galloping into the Happy Hunting Ground the Indians prayed for?
10404Whaley?"
10404Whaley?"
10404What about you?
10404What are you dodgin''for, girl?
10404What are you driving at, Win Beresford?"
10404What are you hanging around for?
10404What assurance had he that he would find him still alive on his return?
10404What business we got monkeyin''with their scalping sociables?
10404What called him out of town on a hurry- up trip of a few hours?"
10404What could he do?
10404What could this woman of the picture be to me?"
10404What did he ever do to you that was so doggoned mean?"
10404What do ye put the damage at?"
10404What do you aim to do with yore friend Mighty- Nigh- Lose- His- Scalp?
10404What do you know about the smashing of our barrels?"
10404What do you say?
10404What do you want me to do-- go and thank him kindly for having me whipped?"
10404What for?
10404What had become of Jessie?
10404What in hell''d I ever do to you?"
10404What made you think so?"
10404What manner of girl was she?
10404What of the girl he had seen at her father''s camp, the heart''s desire of the rugged old Scotchman?
10404What right has he to interfere with me?"
10404What say?"
10404What should he do?
10404What trick did Bully have up his sleeve?
10404What was McRae''s girl doing at the camp of the officer?
10404What was he thinking?
10404What was the motive in the back of his mind?
10404What was there to say?
10404What was to be done then?
10404What white man had any business in these woods?
10404What would come of their flight?
10404What''ll we do?"
10404What''ll you do if I find I''ve got no time to go to Fort Macleod with you?"
10404What''s doin''?"
10404What''s eatin''you?"
10404What''s eatin''you?"
10404What''s in a name?"
10404What''s in the house?"
10404What''s my job in the firm?
10404What''s that mean?
10404What''s the use of foolin''yourself?
10404When I draw this gun I can put a bullet through your head and ride away?"
10404When the plains knew them no more, how would the Sioux and the Blackfeet and the Piegans live?
10404When you see him again-- if you ever do-- will you tell him I did exactly as he said?"
10404Where are you taking me, you damned spies?"
10404Where did Whaley go to- day?
10404Where do you figure you got a license to expect Bully West to listen to Sunday- school pap about being good to you?
10404Where do you want me to take you?"
10404Where had the two free traders taken the girl?
10404Where is this blind tiger you''re raidin''?"
10404Where was he taking her?
10404Where was he?...
10404Where you been for a year and heaven knows how many months?"
10404Where''s his camp?"
10404Where''s the McRae girl?"
10404Where''s the girl?
10404Where''s the girl?"
10404Which of the statues, laws, and ordinances of Queen Vic have I been bustin''without knowin''of them?"
10404Who could tell?
10404Who in all the North did not know of it?
10404Who is it?
10404Who said, it was a''W''?"
10404Who was he?
10404Who was it?
10404Who''s in charge of this outfit, anyhow, young fellow, me lad?"
10404Who''s it for?"
10404Who?
10404Why ai n''t I good enough for yore half- breed litter?"
10404Why did he do that?
10404Why did he not do this?
10404Why did n''t they try to explain?
10404Why did n''t you bring her to me?
10404Why had he brought her here?
10404Why had he done it?
10404Why had not the Blackfoot shot him from the tree?
10404Why not give him a chance to be friends?"
10404Why not?
10404Why should I take advantage of a hold I have on her generosity?
10404Why should he have to feel so long for that stick?
10404Why should he leave that business to overtake Jessie McRae?
10404Why should she interfere?
10404Why whine about what must be?
10404Why, where''s Barney?"
10404Why?
10404Why?
10404Why?
10404Why?
10404Will he be hidin''oot, do you think?"
10404Will you dance with me?"
10404Will you go with me or stay with him?"
10404Will you make''em all eat out of your hands?"
10404Will you no''drap in for a crack the nicht?"
10404Will you please tak the road?"
10404Wo n''t that satisfy you?"
10404Wo n''t you, please?"
10404Would she tamely accept Bully West for her master and go to his tent as his squaw?
10404Would the Lonesome Lands become even more desolate than they were now?
10404Would this man keep his parole or not?
10404Would you like that?"
10404Y''understand?
10404Yet if he''s not drunk, what''s got into him?"
10404You lookin''for better odds, Harv?"
10404You there?"
10404You wo n''t mind walking?"
10404You would n''t think any girl would object to that, would you?"
10404You''re Bully West''s woman, un''erstand?
10404You''re not by any chance lookin''for trouble?"
10404Your firm and his trade back and forth, do n''t they?"
10404on that case?"
20384A dot on what?
20384About what would be the cost of this proposed mine equipment, and could I do some ranching around there while this was going on?
20384And about when do you plan that this defense marriage-- this shotgun wedding-- is to take place?
20384And how about snows? 20384 And just what sort of a structure stands on my foundations?"
20384And then, what did you do?
20384And when you get it all out, then what?
20384And who is the fortunate lady?
20384And who''s the victim?
20384And will you be with us again?
20384Are any cattle left, and how many?
20384Are ye shiftin''pastures?
20384Bears? 20384 But what about our new cashier, Shirley Wells?"
20384Can we get that young Goff tomorrow? 20384 Circus man, hey?
20384Did ole Selim die, er is hit yer favorite hound dawg?
20384Did the meetin''house burn down?
20384Did the preacher gent die, er did Brother Peyton jump the game, taking the jackpot with him?
20384Did ye ever ride a hoss, son?
20384Did ye ketch''em this mornin''?
20384Did young Goff accept Maddy''s gift of the gold dust?
20384Do you mean that me and Landy here must put on some sort of a show in Adot? 20384 Do you mean that you will go with me-- now-- on the truck?
20384Do you mean that you would want to spend the winter with me, back in the hills?
20384Do you plan moving over there-- if you get possession?
20384Do you think he will consent to taking charge of the restored family bank?
20384Do you think you can get Hulls and Maizie out of there by Thanksgiving?
20384Do you want another parade this afternoon?
20384Does Mr. Lough know about it?
20384Does he want the ranch?
20384En about when do ye plan to stage this splendid event?
20384Have n''t you got an empty cage where we could turn them out in the daylight?
20384How are we to get back from Adot?
20384How big is this Bar- O affair, how many acres?
20384How big is this judgment? 20384 How come that the movie people have n''t taken it over to fit their verbiage: thrilling, stupendous, smashing, wondrous, and so forth?"
20384How come?
20384How do you want your eggs, Davy?
20384How many calves will you brand next year? 20384 How many in the Gillis family?"
20384How much are you set back in this debacle?
20384How much for the two?
20384How much is this mortgage thing?
20384How will you ever see it all-- you with short legs?
20384Howja rest, Davy?
20384Hungry?
20384If I advance the nine thousand right now, say by the end of the week, will you let up on this drive- drive- drive stuff, and relax and be yourself?
20384If you are in your own clothes....Davy''s directive was interrupted by a hearty laugh, and a prompt inquiry:"Am I under indictment?"
20384Is Hulls gone?
20384Is Shirley Wells alive? 20384 Is it your idea that the better element of a community must quit their business to take up the matter of law enforcement?"
20384Is that all? 20384 Is there a telegraph station in Adot?
20384Is there an extension on it?
20384Is there any way that we can hang around and find out? 20384 Is this the finish?"
20384Just what aid did you render in building such a career? 20384 Just where was this mother- lode?"
20384Just where, and how soon, can I contact this Shirley Wells?
20384Kin ye move''em around a little, Mister?
20384No, I''ll not need any such sidelines for many a week, but I thought you said we did not have any neighbors? 20384 No?
20384Possibilities for what?
20384See that big mound with its head in the clouds? 20384 Ten sections?"
20384Then I''m not to marry?
20384Then what?
20384Things? 20384 Well, do you think they will get away tonight?"
20384Well, folks,said Davy, picking up the new account book and pad of checks,"where is that famous restaurant that you''ve been talking about?
20384Well, just what is your interest in the matter?
20384Well, just where is this land of romantic tragedy and domestic infelicity?
20384Well, what do they keep them for? 20384 Well, what''s your reaction, Laddie?"
20384Well, you could n''t feed''em away off out here, could you?
20384Whar would ye show yer vaudeville act with the show places all closed? 20384 Whar''s yer reception committee eround here?"
20384What about the cattle?
20384What am I going to name this colt, Landy? 20384 What became of this giant sum that was blasted out of the safe after wounding the messenger?
20384What kind of a deal? 20384 What''s due the grazing master?
20384What''s going on in there?
20384What''s got ye outen the bed so early?
20384What''s his job? 20384 What''s the other problem?"
20384What''s your birthday?
20384What''s your other project?
20384What''s your racket now, Prince? 20384 When are you leaving, and have you enough money to get you out of town?"
20384Where did they go?
20384Who said that?
20384Who, then, composes this exclusive class in the human family? 20384 Why did n''t we come that way?"
20384Why do n''t ye pick on one of yer size?
20384Why do you hope to persuade''em to get off?
20384Why wo n''t you take it?
20384Why would you want to do that, Laddie?
20384Why you live out here, do n''t you?
20384Why, I thought ya wanted to meet Maizie,chuckled Landy,"thought ye wanted to contract her fer fortune tellin''down at that island place?
20384Why, who''s dead, Jim?
20384Will Damino furnish a round trip ticket?
20384Will he apply the money to that end?
20384Will that fit the pony you saw over at the B- line?
20384Would you do that?
20384Yes? 20384 You are Mrs. Gillis, I know, and you are Landy, are n''t you?
20384You did n''t go in close enough to see what was being bottled and labeled? 20384 You have never seen the ranch?"
20384You know something about make- up and disguises, Laddie; could I be made up as a laborer or a village loafer so I could sit around and listen in?
20384You would bid sight- unseen for a property that you do n''t know where it''s located-- would accept a deed without possession? 20384 Your partner in what?"
20384''Whar do ya git that stuff?''
20384''What''s eatin''ya?,''''Git outa here,''''Who''s a- running this dump?''
20384''What''s eatin''ya?,''''Git outa here,''''Who''s a- running this dump?''
2038410"Are you going to live here always?"
20384Adot?
20384And anyhow, what are her possibilities?"
20384And anyhow,"he added to Logan,"why do n''t you peddle the thing to someone else and let them take the grief and do the slaughtering?"
20384And how come that a sheriff''s posse ca n''t depose one old man?"
20384And now, my young counselor, adviser, flatterer, and friend, do you think I should seek a job in the congested areas?"
20384And what about the Wells National Bank?
20384And what of the other family assets?
20384And where is Carson Wells?
20384And where''s yer bars?"
20384And where''s your chaps and your spurs?
20384And why--""How much is yer little elephant earnin''now, eatin''his head off in winter quarters?"
20384And would they agree to leave and never come back?
20384And you do n''t have a big family, do you, Mister Welborn, and I would n''t be much in the way, would I?"
20384And you have some sort of a shack, do n''t you?
20384Are indictments pending?
20384Are n''t we to stock up on food-- here-- or somewhere?"
20384Are you a taker?"
20384Are you with me?"
20384As Polo Garrett used to say,''What''s eatin''ya?''"
20384At the bank, he planned to walk right up to the receiver''s window and ask old Powell if this was Tellson''s bank and was Mr. Tellson in?
20384At times I have felt that I should share the big house at the farm but my wife protests--""Are you married?"
20384Available?
20384Blue sky or a phony gold mine?"
20384But I would like to know just where she could be made into a useful thing?"
20384But what about this prop?
20384But what''s led ye off on that wagon track, Jim?
20384But what''s the use in taking it all out at once?
20384Can I do it?"
20384Can I get in touch with him right away?"
20384Can he be cleared of these charges?
20384Can you go today?"
20384Can you meet me here Wednesday?
20384Can you meet me here with this truck- trailer outfit, say about Wednesday?
20384Can you sing''The Lament''so it''s fitten to hear?"
20384Can you, Fisheye?"
20384Did Logan know that old Hulls en Maizie were included?
20384Did Welborn''s fifty- to- one chance fail?
20384Did a mob form?
20384Did n''t the circus people feed ye?"
20384Did n''t you get our announcement?
20384Do I hear any takers?"
20384Do you blame him for horning in?
20384Do you conduct that kind of an agency?"
20384Do you know Shirley Wells?"
20384Do you want to open an account?"
20384Have ye laid out a considerable trip?"
20384Have you any suggestions or plans?"
20384Have you been out there lately?
20384Have you hooked up with Ben- a- Mundi in that Crystal Readings graft, or is it a short- change racket?"
20384Have you tried the Rose- Chrysanthemum method?"
20384Have you two settled the hay trade?"
20384Hey, you fellows,"he called to some passing laborers,"have any of you seen old Fisheye in the last hour?"
20384His meditations did not concern finances, nor that other pressing question: when will this depression end?
20384How are you to get the money in here?"
20384How big is this Bar- O ranch anyhow?
20384How do you plan the payment?"
20384How many cattle are they running?
20384How much did you contribute?"
20384How much is owed on the grazing allotment?
20384How much money does this receiver gent need to have to get in the clear?
20384How much money is needed to clean his slate?
20384How much money would this receiver and grazing master have to have to get''em in the clear?
20384How strong is it?
20384I did n''t do any more--""Is your mother living?"
20384I feel like I want to commit murder when a simpering Jane looks at me, snickers and says,''ai n''t he cute?''
20384I get--""Adot?
20384I want to boss around among chickens, geese, turkeys, pigs--""How about a couple of burros?"
20384I was very sorry to see Mr. Barrow leave; I could have used a man of his firm determination....""Leave?"
20384I was....""Do you have to ask for your own property, in this day and age?"
20384I''m in Adot-- yes, that''s what I said-- what they all say.... A dot on what?
20384If the old belligerent had cut down on one of these cow hands this morning, everything would have been legal and orderly?"
20384If ye go out that way, will ye open the gate en let''em out?"
20384In yer gaddin''around have ye ever seen enything like hit?"
20384Is he under indictment?
20384Is n''t there some way that we can by- pass this Maizie and her orders''to kill on sight''?"
20384Is there a good photographer in Adot?
20384Is there anything else, Mister Receiver?"
20384Is this the same affair that Mister Potter spoke of?
20384Just now, in this depression, the Big Fellows are running to him asking,''What to do?''
20384Kin ye he''p us tomorry?"
20384Maddy easily identified''em and I knew they were his, but what about these gangsters?
20384Managing a theater?
20384Maybe you are kin to the Barrows, sort of looking after their interests?"
20384No?
20384Now just what big job have you laid out for me?
20384Now what''s this thing you are to do after the evening meal?"
20384Now what''s yer deal, Prince?
20384Now what''s your reaction?
20384Now you jist tell me all over again, what''s yer proposition about me owning these little b''ars?"
20384Or maybe operating a railroad?"
20384Or, if you are too busy, can you send someone?"
20384Running a circus?
20384Shirley is surely a bankrupt, but is he a murderer?
20384Surely we can....""Just how much money will it take to revive a bank?"
20384Turning to Landy, Davy drawled,"Who was that fellow that was driving?"
20384Was Loretta Young married?
20384Was he dealing with a moron or a maniac?
20384Was he indicted?
20384Was the strong little bank, the pride of two generations, still rendering the service that had made it famous?
20384Welborn?"
20384Were you ever at Coney Island?"
20384What about the boys and girls with whom he was associated in school days?
20384What are we to exhibit in the coming season?
20384What are you buying?
20384What do you say, podner?
20384What kind of bears?"
20384What was he going to do with the ranch?
20384What was it he did, anyhow?"
20384What''s all the rush?
20384What''s it all about anyway?"
20384What''s the big idea?"
20384What''s the finish here?
20384What''s the friction that they ca n''t get these resisting parties to see the inevitable?"
20384What''s the grazing master got to do, in folding up a ranch?
20384What''s the matter with the local moneychangers?
20384What''s the present- day status of Shirley Wells in his home town?
20384What''s the whole thing worth anyhow?
20384What''s up?"
20384What''s yer notion of a name fer this little hoss?"
20384What''s your name, Mister?
20384What''s your reaction, Logan?
20384What?"
20384When I got fed up on a bunch of simpering women and their,''ai n''t he cute?''
20384When can we haul the hay?"
20384When do you want it?
20384When is this sale?
20384Where and why would you place her?"
20384Where do you do banking?"
20384Where is he?
20384Where is this Bar- O property?
20384Where will we exhibit this planned program?
20384Where''s the other one?"
20384Where''s your outfit, kid?"
20384Where?
20384Who are midgets?"
20384Who better can tell it?
20384Who can I see about the details?
20384Who do they belong to, anyhow?"
20384Who runs this fine market and canning factory out in the wide open spaces?"
20384Who tipped it off to him?"
20384Who was he?
20384Who''s been disturbin''yer dogs that away?"
20384Why are you asking such an abrupt, personal question?"
20384Why are you here?"
20384Why did he do it and when?"
20384Why did n''t we think of that before, Landy?"
20384Why do n''t ye git a saxophone en tune in on some jazz?
20384Why does n''t some diplomat wheedle old Hulls off?
20384Why work so hard now?"
20384Why would Logan want this Ugly party to get out of the country?
20384Why would your grandfather get all het up if he heard about it?
20384Why you, yourself know that little people-- or what shall I call them?"
20384Will I fit that hoss that the girl owns?"
20384Will a mob form if he shows up on your city streets?
20384Will he have to serve time?
20384Will it outlast the depression?
20384Will you briefly tell''em who I am?"
20384Wilt thou help me, Sire?"
20384Wo n''t you men come to the house?
20384Would the count surrender title to the damaged car to compensate for rail transportation?
20384Ye said somethin''about a deal?"
20384You are willing to spread a false report without having the facts?
20384You both know about the Nazarenes?"
20384You ca n''t preach or exhort, can you Landy?"
20384You remember Carter, do n''t you, Prince?
20384how did he plan to get the resisters off?
20384what''s wrong with the better element?"
20384yelled Davy,"And can I get him right away?"
14844''We,''you say; who else besides yourself, Howard?
14844A jest?--of your falling in love? 14844 A lame duck?"
14844A pretty close call, was n''t it?--or was Dougherty only putting on a few frills to go with my cup of coffee?
14844About this building and loan mess?
14844Against the men you suspect? 14844 Always_ that!_ Why wo n''t you let me forget?"
14844And I have been calling you... but would you do it, Howard?
14844And Judson has not yet reported?
14844And a man who will carry out the Ford policy?
14844And how about Benson?
14844And if I refuse?
14844And secondly?
14844And that one is----?
14844And the daughter-- is she charming, too? 14844 And the other----?"
14844And the other?
14844And you are not afraid?
14844And you did n''t see Flemister or Hallock again?
14844Anybody hurt?
14844Anything else?
14844Anything new?
14844Are you there yet, John?
14844Are you with us, John?
14844Benson, are you sure you went over all the line lying west of the Gloria bridge?
14844Bitter Creek is in Wyoming-- or is it in Montana?
14844But have n''t you already reported it?
14844But having the gun he could n''t always be sure of buying the nerve, eh? 14844 But he does n''t often feel like it?
14844But the motive, Mac?
14844But the third man, Judson; the man you saw beating with his fists on the bulkhead air- lock: who was he?
14844But they are all equally despicable?
14844But why should he weaken at the last moment and try to stop the train?
14844But you have discovered something?
14844But you heard?
14844By cripes!--look at that, will you?
14844Ca n''t you read print when it''s large enough to shout at all the world? 14844 Call it off and let you drop out of it?
14844Can you add the rest of it--''and he is n''t very bright''?
14844Come back to tell me you''ve sworn off? 14844 Come to tell me to pack my kit and get out?"
14844Could n''t find it?
14844Dick Rufford? 14844 Did Gridley send him?"
14844Did I tell you to include that particular item in the report?
14844Did Williams find that anything had been tampered with?
14844Did he come to tell you that there was n''t going to be any strike?
14844Did he say he came in on Two- three?
14844Did he stop at Navajo?
14844Did n''t see anything of our switch- engine while you were looking for your bridge- timbers and saw- mills and other things, did you?
14844Did n''t you think you did?
14844Did she give you a turn?
14844Did you find Carolyn very persuasive?
14844Did you go up over the spur?
14844Did you make the arrest?
14844Did you tell them that?
14844Do n''t you know that we are on 201''s time?
14844Do n''t you think so?
14844Do n''t you? 14844 Do n''t you?
14844Do you call this railroading?
14844Do you happen to know what the business was?
14844Do you want to meet Lidgerwood?
14844Does he know anything that he can tell?
14844Does the night despatcher happen to know just where 204 is, at this present moment?
14844Dougherty said it was Bart Rufford; was it?
14844Drinks, does he?
14844Flemister again?
14844For example?
14844For instance?
14844For your authority?
14844Fred, tell me; you''ve known John Judson longer than I have: do you trust him-- when he''s sober?
14844Gait fits the laundry part of him?
14844Going to try it from here?
14844Good ground?
14844Got a new wrecking- boss?
14844Gridley? 14844 Gridley?"
14844H''m,said Bradford;"reckon it was meant to do that?"
14844Hallock? 14844 Hallock?"
14844Has n''t it ever occurred to you, Jack, that I am the one man in the desert who can not afford to go armed? 14844 Has your strike materialized yet?"
14844Have n''t you heard his story?
14844Have you ever suspected him of being mixed up in the looting?
14844Have you found any trace of those two car- loads of company lumber lost in transit between here and Red Butte two weeks ago?
14844Having a good bit of trouble with the sure- shots?
14844He will go with us to- day?
14844Hello, Madgie,he said, not ungently,"you here again?
14844Hello, Mr. Lidgerwood, is that you?
14844Herbert, you mean? 14844 His college, Mr. Lidgerwood; do you chance to know where he was graduated?"
14844How are things shaping up? 14844 How can you ask-- when you have just called him''the other man''?"
14844How can you doubt it?
14844How can you say that to me, Miriam?
14844How could the theft or the destruction of a locomotive serve any purpose that Hallock might have in view?
14844How did Rufford come to tell you?
14844How did he get here? 14844 How do you know I do n''t want the salary?"
14844How do you know?
14844How do you know?
14844How does it strike you?
14844How is that?
14844How is this? 14844 How long do you expect to stay in Angels and its vicinity?"
14844How long is it going to be before you are able to forget that I am constructively your brother''s boss, Miss Faith?
14844How much time have we on 201?
14844How so?
14844How was that?
14844How were they taken, then? 14844 How will you handle it?"
14844How?
14844Howard, what does this mean?
14844I can reach you care of Mr. Leckhard, at Copah, I suppose?
14844I suppose you did n''t see anything of Grady, my stenographer?
14844I''ve heard there was bad blood between them: it was about that building- and- loan business, was n''t it?
14844I?
14844If you ca n''t be afraid for yourself, you''ll be afraid for other people, wo n''t you? 14844 Is he alone in the mine?"
14844Is he_ that_ Dawson?
14844Is it worth while to make an unending jest of it, Eleanor?
14844Is n''t he? 14844 Is that all?"
14844Is that all?
14844Is that part of your work-- to get the trains on the track when they run off?
14844Is that so? 14844 Is the strike authorized by the labor union leaders?"
14844Is there anything else, Mac?
14844Is there anything else?
14844Is this really civilized America?
14844Is your flag out?
14844Jack is? 14844 Judson has told you what''s due to happen?"
14844Lidgerwood made it final, did he? 14844 More churlishness?"
14844Natural?
14844Naturally and properly, but afterward? 14844 No word from Judson yet?"
14844Not a word for me, Howard?
14844Nothing new, Mac?
14844Nothing stirring, Fred?
14844Now, tell me what sort of a wrecking- plant we have?
14844Of course, after that, you took Mr. Judson back into the railway service?
14844Oh, do I remember it?--disagreeably?
14844One of those men was Bart Rufford: who was the other one, Judson?
14844Or do you just drop in and out again, like the other kind of angels?
14844Otherwise you would not have come? 14844 Pretty clean sweep this time, eh, Mac?"
14844Reckon they''ve got him cooped up along with Dix?
14844Rufford, you said: you mean the discharged telegraph operator?
14844Safety- chain loose, you say?--so if the truck should jump and swing it would keep on swinging? 14844 Shall I use my own judgment as to the proper moment to make the break, or will you pass us the word?"
14844Shot at you?
14844So Fred''s your understudy, is he? 14844 So this is where you live, is it?
14844So you were looking out of the window, too, were you? 14844 So you''ve made up your mind?"
14844Some of them have grown to be shippers, have n''t they?
14844Still after those bridge- timbers?
14844Still no? 14844 Strike back at the woman I love?
14844Sure,said Judson,"that''s what any man would do in a civilized country, ai n''t it?"
14844Technically, you mean?
14844Tell me, in so many words, what you think will be done to- night-- what are you expecting?
14844That I ca n''t measure up to your requirements of the perfect man? 14844 That applies to my own departments-- the operating, telegraph, train- service, and engineering; but how about the motive power?"
14844Then we may as well begin at once,she said coolly; and turning quickly to the others:"O all you people; listen a minute, will you?
14844Then we reach Little Butte before 204 gets there-- is that it?
14844Then why do you say there is still a chance for me?
14844Then you are anticipating trouble when the laugh is over?
14844Then you believe that he took your bridge- timbers and sawed them up into lumber?
14844Then you had some such alternative in mind as that I have just been proposing?
14844Then you have found the ringleader at last, have you?
14844Then you will be outnumbered?
14844They are still refusing to take you seriously?
14844Thirty minutes?
14844Threatening, are you?
14844To Hallock''s discredit, you mean?
14844To the superintendency of the Red Butte Western? 14844 Twice, then?
14844Was any one killed?
14844Was that one of your scouts?
14844Was there anything special in to- day''s mail?
14844Wastage, you mean?
14844We can snake out these scrap- heaps after a fashion, but when it comes to resurrecting the 195--did you notice her as you came along? 14844 Well, what are we up against?"
14844Well, what did you see?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Well?
14844Were the boxes properly overhauled before you left Copah?
14844What are you doing here?
14844What could happen to us on a little excursion like this?
14844What did he do?
14844What did you do?
14844What did you find when you got here?
14844What do you make out of that?
14844What do you mean, Andy?
14844What do you mean? 14844 What ever made you come out here, Howard?"
14844What is it this time, thirty days?
14844What is it, Bradford?
14844What is it, Fred?
14844What is the boss going to do about this flare- up with Bart Rufford?
14844What is the matter now, Jack?
14844What is the matter with him, sick?
14844What is your inference?
14844What makes you so keen for it, Hallock?
14844What man was that?
14844What other side?
14844What sort of things?
14844What was it?
14844What was that story I heard about somebody swiping one of your switching- engines?
14844What were you going to say about Herbert?
14844What will you do when a conductor or an engineer whom you have called on the carpet curses you out and invites you to go to hell?
14844What would my word, extorted-- under such conditions-- be worth to you?
14844What would you do, if you had the chance, Rankin?
14844What''s that?
14844What''s this they were telling me down at the lunch- counter just now-- about somebody taking a pot- shot at you last night?
14844What- all do you think of Mister Collars- and- Cuffs by this time?
14844What?
14844Whatever made you suggest it?
14844When?
14844Where are the gulch mines?
14844Where are we now?
14844Where did you get that?
14844Where does it meet the passenger?
14844Where is he?
14844Where was he when he saw all this?
14844Where was it, at last accounts?
14844Where would I get the two extra train- crews to fill in the thirty- day lay- off, Jack? 14844 Whereupon you went hunting for saw- mills?"
14844Which means?
14844Who has the keys?
14844Who is he?
14844Who is it?
14844Who is it?
14844Who is running it?
14844Who is the new man?
14844Who is the other man?
14844Who is your foreman, Mac?
14844Who is your wrecking- boss?
14844Who tells you?
14844Who was missing out of the Angels crowd of trouble- makers yesterday, Mac?
14844Who was the tall man?
14844Who you quotin''now, Fatty? 14844 Whom am I to send, Jack?"
14844Whom is she trying to find?
14844Why ca n''t you do it now?
14844Why did n''t we?
14844Why did you come out here with your father? 14844 Why do n''t you answer me?
14844Why do n''t you go and take up for him with Bart Rufford?
14844Why do n''t you?
14844Why not?
14844Why should I be curious, and what about?--the Red Desert? 14844 Why should he refuse?"
14844Why''peach''? 14844 Why, do you know him?"
14844Why?
14844Will he make dreadful faces at me, as he did at you this morning when you went down among the smashed cars at the wreck to speak to him?
14844Will there be any one to ask when you are gone?
14844Will you ask Miss Brewster to step out here for a moment?
14844Will your run take you as far as the Timanyoni Canyon?
14844Williams? 14844 Williams?
14844Wo n''t it?
14844Would it? 14844 Would you really do that?"
14844Yes, I knew it, but----"But what?
14844Yet you are convinced, in your own mind?
14844Yet you say Flemister is a born gentleman, as well as a born buccaneer?
14844You ai n''t making out like you do n''t know, are you? 14844 You are not going to take us away from Angels?"
14844You are staying to luncheon with us, are n''t you?
14844You are sure of that, are you, John?
14844You did n''t let it rest at that?
14844You do n''t believe it?
14844You do n''t want him for a brother- in- law; is that it, Fred?
14844You hain''t heard me sayin''anything, have you?
14844You have no notion of what did it?
14844You knew in advance that you were going to turn me down? 14844 You like him?"
14844You mean Hallock?
14844You mean that he did not share in the distribution of the money?
14844You mean that you would like to leave your official dignity behind you when you come to us here on the mesa?
14844You remember what I told you about that loosened rail that caused the wreck in the Crosswater Hills? 14844 You say Dawson is n''t in?
14844You say two of the buildings are new; did you make any inquiries about recent lumber shipments to the Wire- Silver?
14844You say you do n''t know how long you will be away?
14844You sent for me, Howard?
14844You still believe there will be trouble?
14844You think I should break my word and take Judson back?
14844You wait till I ask you for my job back again, wo n''t you, Jim McCloskey?
14844You were putting it back on the track?
14844You were saying something to Dawson about Williams and a special train; is that Mr. Brewster coming in?
14844You wo n''t mind if I say that I beat you to it, this time, will you? 14844 You''d spoil it all, if you could, would n''t you?"
14844You''re Mr. Lidgerwood, I take it?
14844You''re trusting me, now, Mr. Lidgerwood: who was the man? 14844 Your man Hallock out there; how is he mixed up with Flemister?"
14844_ Donnerwetter!_he gasped,"you don''d mean dot, Mr. Litchervood; you don''d neffer mean dot?"
14844A treasurer is supposed to treasure something, is n''t he?
14844Afraid I''d fire you?
14844Again the mine- owner said"Why do n''t you?"
14844Ah, that hits you, does n''t it?"
14844And how much or how little would it involve one who was anxious only to see even- handed justice prevail?
14844And then, quite as calmly:"I suppose you will go back from here with your special, wo n''t you?
14844And then, with carefully calculated malice:"What if Herbert had been looking?"
14844And then, with totally unnecessary cruelty, she added:"Is it a return of the old malady?
14844And then;"Was this passenger wreck another of the''assisted''ones?"
14844And there was a mixed car- load of lime and cement lost at about the same time, was n''t there?"
14844And what did Crandall say?"
14844And when Judson''s yelp answered him:"All right; now, what was it you were trying to tell me about the special?"
14844And, by the way, if it comes to the worst, how will Hepburn, the town marshal, stand?"
14844And-- and-- is mamma safe?"
14844Are the sections all in line on the long siding?"
14844Are there two of you?"
14844Are you afraid again, Howard?"
14844Are you beginning to see daylight?"
14844Are you good for it?"
14844Are you listening?"
14844Are you still trying to believe that it is n''t Hallock?"
14844At the close he said gravely:"You are sure it was Hallock who got off of the night train at Silver Switch and went up the old spur?"
14844Before I go any further, Lidgerwood, I''d like to ask you one question: can we afford to quarrel with Mr. Pennington Flemister?"
14844Before he could reply, a man came up to the platform railing, touched his cap, and said,"Is Mr. Lidgerwood here?"
14844But have you stopped to ask yourself what possible use he could make of the stolen material?"
14844But instead, his gaze went beyond her and he said:"You surely would n''t expect me to confess it if I were afraid, would you?
14844But tell me one thing: have you had to report the loss of that engine to anybody higher up?"
14844But tell me, Howard, is Mrs. Dawson a charming young widow?"
14844But to get back to this crime of to- night: when you left Flemister''s office, after telephoning Goodloe, you walked down to Little Butte station?"
14844But where was Hallock going?
14844Ca n''t you see that I am fairly stifling with curiosity?"
14844Ca n''t you see what I''m up against?"
14844Ca n''t you understand that?"
14844Can you manage to work at all, with these chatterers on the car?"
14844Can you two stand it?"
14844Care to hear any more?"
14844Could he have done all these things without advertising them to everybody?"
14844Could you really face such an alternative without flinching?"
14844Dawson examined it carefully before he rose up to say:"Why did n''t they spring it the other way, if they wanted to make a thorough job of it?
14844Did he go?"
14844Did n''t you know that?"
14844Did you discharge that operator at Crow Canyon?
14844Did you mean it?"
14844Did you see the engine?"
14844Do n''t you despise a coward, Miss Dawson?"
14844Do n''t you reckon you could make some sort of a play for me with the boss, Jim?
14844Do n''t you remember going over to Cat Biggs''s about noon, and sitting down at one of the empty card- tables to drink yourself stiff?"
14844Do n''t you remember it?"
14844Do you get that?"
14844Do you live at the Celestial, Howard?"
14844Do you mean to go on leaving it up in the air like that?"
14844Do you really mean that there is likely to be violence?"
14844Do you tell me you can stay here and face all this without flinching?"
14844Do you want to stay on as my lieutenant?"
14844Does President Brewster know anything about this?"
14844Does it occur to you that these young persons need to be shocked into a better appreciation of the conventions?"
14844Does that make amends-- just a little?
14844Ever hear of it?"
14844Ever hear the story of his marriage?
14844Ever met his mother and sister?"
14844Flemister claimed to have had the news of the disaster by''phone: where had he been when the''phone message found him?
14844Flemister?"
14844Flemister?"
14844Flemister?"
14844Frisbie?"
14844Getting much ore down from the Copperette?
14844Got so many cars and engines that you have to throw some of them away?"
14844Gridley is a pretty decent sort of a man- driver, is n''t he?"
14844Gridley was----""Hold on, Mac,"interrupted the superintendent;"how did you learn all this?"
14844Gridley?"
14844Had you ever thought of that?"
14844Had you thought of that?"
14844Hallock?"
14844Has Benson had any trouble in the yard?"
14844Has Flemister used that spur since you took charge of the road?"
14844Has n''t it occurred to you?"
14844Have n''t you heard the ghastly story yet?"
14844Have you unloaded it all?
14844He a coward?
14844He had risen and was helping his companion to her feet when Mrs. Brewster came to the car door to say:"Oh, you are out here, are you, Howard?
14844He is the tyrant of the Red Butte Western, and I can assure you that he is much more terrible than he looks-- aren''t you, Howard?"
14844He was silent for a time, so long a time that Lidgerwood burst out impatiently,"Why do n''t you answer me?"
14844How are we doing over in the Timanyoni foot- hills?
14844How are you fixed for arms in the president''s car?"
14844How could he do it without being found out?"
14844How did you come to get a tool like that on the Red Butte Western?"
14844How did you get here?
14844How do we stand here?"
14844How do you know it?"
14844How do you know that?"
14844How do you know you would n''t buck up when the real pinch comes?"
14844How does it come that he is doubling out with me?
14844How does that strike you?"
14844How far was Hallock implicated?"
14844How much or how little was this tragedy figuring in the trouble storm which was brooding over the Red Desert?
14844How would you be fixed in the event of a telegraphers''strike?"
14844I suppose I do n''t need to tell you not to take any chances?"
14844I suppose there is some semblance of legal protection in Angels, as elsewhere, is n''t there?"
14844I wonder if Williams has succeeded in talking him over to our side?
14844I''d put it up this way: after that rail- joint was sprung open, they''d go back up the old spur on the hand- car, would n''t they?
14844I''m taking it for granted that you have n''t found it yet-- or have you?"
14844If I do----""Go on,"said Lidgerwood, frowning,"if you do, what then?"
14844Is he here?"
14844Is it likely to be serious?"
14844Is n''t the stake big enough to warrant your last desperate play?
14844Is that what you want me to say?"
14844Is there anything else?
14844It is more than a year, is n''t it?"
14844It sounds like a drunken pipe- dream, the whole of it; but who did you think it was?"
14844It''s pretty late for even your kind to be out, is n''t it?
14844Judson had broken the curious eye- grip at last, and again he said,"Why?"
14844Know anything about the history of the mine?"
14844Know him personally, Howard?"
14844Leckhard?"
14844Lidgerwood laughed at the engineer''s failure to make his case, and asked quizzically,"Where do I come in on all this, Jack?
14844Lidgerwood?"
14844Lidgerwood?"
14844Lidgerwood?"
14844Lidgerwood?"
14844Lidgerwood?"
14844Lidgerwood?...
14844Litchervood?"
14844Mac, have you seen anything of Hallock?"
14844Make my adieux to Miss Brewster and the young ladies, will you, please?"
14844May I trouble you to tell me which is his office?"
14844McCloskey told you that, did n''t he?"
14844Mr. Lidgerwood, have n''t you got enough to go on?
14844Nice state of affairs, is n''t it?"
14844No?
14844Not hurt, are you?"
14844Now, what has been done with Johnston, that conductor who turned in three dollars as the total cash collections for a hundred- and- fifty- mile run?"
14844Now, will you go and tell the others what to expect, and send Van Lew to me?
14844Of course, you will stay on with the new man-- if he wants you to?"
14844One o''the shop''prentices?
14844Or maybe it''s Rank Hallock?
14844Pretty bad?"
14844Reckon he was riding on the brake- beams?
14844Say, what''s he doin''monkeyin''round the back shop so much lately?
14844Take McCloskey: you swear by him, do n''t you?
14844Tell me, Mac, did you ever see me too drunk to read my orders and take my signals?"
14844The men are calling it a broken rail; was it?"
14844The trouble is all over, is n''t it?"
14844Then he asked the inevitable question:"What did it?"
14844Then he suggested mildly,"But you were speaking of Dawson, were n''t you?"
14844Then then needle- pointed brain got in its word, and he added,"Why?"
14844Then, passionately:"Tell me one thing before we go any farther, Eleanor: have you given him the right to call me out?"
14844Then, suddenly:"Where were you day before yesterday between noon and one o''clock, about the time you should have been taking your train out?"
14844Then, with a swift relapse into pure mockery:"How many times have you fallen in love during the one year, three months, and eleven days?"
14844Then, with another glance at his watch,"Shall we go up- town and get dinner?
14844Then:"Coming over to camp with us awhile?
14844Then:"How about Sullivan, the west- end supervisor of track?
14844Then:"I suppose you know what we are confronting, Mr. Van Lew?"
14844Then:"Who was the other man, the man who came west on 205?"
14844They could n''t have been floated off down the river, could they?"
14844This is Goodloe: what''s wanted?"
14844Through what dreadful Valley of Humiliation had she come to reach the abysmal depths in which the one cry of her soul was a cry for vengeance?
14844Upon what terms can I stay?"
14844Vouldn''d dat yar you?"
14844Want to stay here and keep your feet warm while I go and do it?
14844Was he a confederate in the plot, or was he also following to spy upon the conspirators?
14844Was he implicated in the matter of the loosened rail?
14844Was this poor painted wreck the woman who was, or who had been, Hallock''s wife?
14844We can go now, ca n''t we, Mr. McCloskey?
14844Were n''t you taught that?
14844Were you curious?"
14844What are you trying to do?
14844What became of the money?"
14844What bill of lading was it you wanted to see me about?"
14844What charge did you put in the warrant?
14844What did you find?"
14844What do you know against him?"
14844What do you know now?--more than you knew the last time we talked?"
14844What do you know?"
14844What do you know?"
14844What do you say to a moonlight ride through one of the grandest canyons in the West in Mr. Lidgerwood''s car?
14844What do you take us for, Howard?"
14844What have you found out about that missing switch- engine?"
14844What is the matter?"
14844What of that?"
14844What then?"
14844What was the row?"
14844What will you do with us, Howard?"
14844What would my example be worth if it should be noised around that I, too, had become a''gun- toter''?"
14844What''s doing?"
14844Where are Miss Brewster and her friends?"
14844Where are you?"
14844Where could he have got the message, and from whom?"
14844Where did you learn to run trains?"
14844Where is Gloria Siding?"
14844Where is Miss Eleanor?"
14844Who are the others, Benson?"
14844Who are they, and what did they do with the engine?"
14844Who goes east on 202 to- day?"
14844Who is on the engine?"
14844Who moved it without orders?"
14844Who w- was the man?"
14844Who was behind that break of Rufford''s last night?"
14844Who was it?
14844Who was the third man?
14844Who was the unnamed man whom Hallock had promised to kill?
14844Whom do you suspect?"
14844Why ca n''t you be a man and strike back now and then?"
14844Why do n''t you pluck up the nerve to shoot, and be done with it?
14844Why do n''t you shoot?
14844Why do n''t you shoot?"
14844Why do n''t you shoot?"]
14844Why on top of earth did n''t I think of him before?
14844Why should he want to silence the old man?"
14844Why was the mine- owner afraid?
14844Why?
14844Why?"
14844Why?"
14844Why?"
14844Why?"
14844Why?"
14844Will you confess to three times?
14844Will you do that?"
14844Will you go up to the hotel with me, or bunk down here?"
14844With her lips to Lidgerwood''s ear she said:"Tell me, Howard; how soon should a chaperon begin to make a diversion?
14844Wo n''t you go and persuade the others to consent to run for it, Eleanor?
14844Would Lidgerwood fight, or run, or sit still and be slain?
14844Would n''t he be, to all intents and purposes, a real coward?"
14844Would n''t the luck we''re having make a dog sick?"
14844Would she not defer to his judgment and let him send the_ Nadia_ back to safety while there was yet time?
14844You can figure that out, ca n''t you?"
14844You can guess what followed?"
14844You get the picture?"
14844You have heard of my appointment?"
14844You knew that, did n''t you?"
14844You know how it lies-- on the western slope of Little Butte ridge?"
14844You remember that operator, Rufford, that you discharged a few days ago?"
14844You say the Wire- Silver has turned out pretty well?"
14844You say the_ Nadia_ is back?
14844You say you''ve wired Copah?"
14844You see how incredible it all is?"
14844You''ll know what to do in that event?"
14844You''re not going to let them make you show down, are you?"
14844_ Hallock knows where that engine went!_""What makes you think so?"
14844_ Savez vous?_"Van Lew laughed, spread his long arms, and swept them all out toward the rear platform.
14844_ What have you done to that man?_ You said you would kill him; you promised me that, Rankin: have you done it?"
14844_ What have you done to that man?_ You said you would kill him; you promised me that, Rankin: have you done it?"
14844and why did he shoot at you?"
14844are you here?"
14844from Dix''s''corner, looked up from his train- sheet to say,"What hit you, brother?"
14844is that engine going to smash into our car?"
14844or is that another bit of your personal grudge?
14844queried Ford, when the self- condemned culprit turned again to the dusk- darkened window,"what came of it?"
14844queried Lidgerwood;"have you found them?"
14844said McCloskey;"and you said there was a woman in it?
14844so the hoboes have asked to see your hand, at last, have they?"
14844the fellow who let Train 76 get by him without orders night before last?"
14844tried to cover it up, did you?
14844what have you been doing to yourself to make you look so hollow- eyed and anxious?"
11501''And where have you been all this time?'' 11501 ''Are you going?''
11501''Are you satisfied?'' 11501 ''Do you need to ask?''
11501''Does Running Elk come to your house?'' 11501 ''Have you really weighed this thing?''
11501''Have you talked with Alicia?'' 11501 ''How do you do?''
11501''How old is Alicia?'' 11501 ''Then education did n''t do you any good, after all?''
11501''Then how did you know he is here?'' 11501 ''Then it is n''t a girlish whim?''
11501''Then you consider this-- this move you evidently contemplate as inevitable?'' 11501 ''What are they doing?''
11501''What does he have to say?'' 11501 ''Where is your father?''
11501''Why have you come out here, Alicia?'' 11501 ''Why let her go at all?''
11501''Why?'' 11501 ''Will you take me to him?''
11501Ai n''t going to throw up your tail, are you?
11501Ai n''t you got nothing better to think about than me?
11501Ai n''t you the bold Mary Ann-- makin''cracks like that?
11501Ai n''t you the champeen bone- dome?
11501Ai n''t you the sore- head, now?

11501And do you love me, then?
11501And she does n''t know?
11501And why not, if you please?
11501And you wo n''t go away without me, will you?
11501Anything doing yet?
11501Anything else?
11501Anything you want?
11501Are n''t you leaving a weapon behind you?
11501Are n''t you on to yourself yet?
11501Are these men here on business? 11501 Are ye daft?
11501Are you Reindeer Mary?
11501Are you a married man?

11501Are you tied up for to- night?
11501Are you?

11501But I tell you--"What''s her name? 11501 But what makes you so positive you can handle his clerk?"
11501But why?
11501But you? 11501 But, Mr. Anderson, you''re bill for this week?
11501Can you build it in the time specified?
11501Children? 11501 Come back?
11501Could you see her at all?
11501Could you write me a prescription?
11501Did n''t she tell you I was coming?
11501Did not your prayers mount up so high? 11501 Did what?"
11501Did you ask her to marry you?
11501Did you boost me?
11501Did you ever do any?
11501Did you get the new props?
11501Did you say those rivets were two- fifty?
11501Do n''t you charge all of''em?
11501Do n''t you know better than to drink on a day like this?
11501Do n''t you sleep well at home?
11501Do n''t you think I understand? 11501 Do n''t you want the job?
11501Do the books balance?
11501Do you believe her story?
11501Do you know the price of our goods?
11501Do you know where you are?
11501Do you mean to say these people have been fooling me? 11501 Do you mean to say you wo n''t even give me the chance you promised?"
11501Do you mind?
11501Do you then adore me above all things, earthly and heavenly, that you forsake your vows? 11501 Do you understand all about this bridge?"
11501Do you wish to remain?
11501Do you-- mean that your talk this evening do n''t go?
11501Doc, what''s the matter with my eyes? 11501 Does any one besides your son and yourself know the contents of this message?"
11501Does n''t LÃ © ontine Murat mean more to the public than Norma Berwynd?
11501Does n''t a man look like the devil in these togs?
11501Double- cross_ me_, will yeh?
11501Eh?

11501He should n''t rise, should he?
11501He wo n''t call for a new deal if I strike it rich?
11501Help me?
11501Honestly?
11501How about the orchestra-- sixth row? 11501 How are you to- day, Miss?"
11501How d''y?
11501How d''you know we ca n''t? 11501 How did you discover all this?
11501How do you measure this devotion?
11501How have I hurt you? 11501 How long do you intend to keep bothering me?"
11501How long will you be gone?
11501How long will you be gone?
11501How much?
11501How so?
11501How the hell do you get away?
11501How you know I ai n''t got a covey of wives?
11501How? 11501 How?"
11501Hurt, you say? 11501 I beg pardon?"
11501I beg pardon?
11501I love the pink ones, do n''t you?
11501I s''pose you heard about that Third Beach Line?
11501I say, what''s the idea of the pall- bearers?
11501I''m fired, am I, for something I did n''t do? 11501 I''ve had a number of offers, and in justice to myself--""Offers?
11501I? 11501 I?
11501If I fail, as they all feel sure I will, what then?
11501If I were as rich as-- well, as Reindeer Mary, would n''t you marry me?
11501If all that is true, tell me why Wylie gets the call?
11501Indeed? 11501 Indeed?
11501Is it as bad as that?
11501Is n''t that a bit-- er-- foolish?
11501Is this Guy Fawkes Day?

11501May I ask where you obtained this comprehensive knowledge of tank construction?
11501Maybe you''d like me to do a little space work--?
11501Money? 11501 Nickelodeon?"
11501No baggage at all?
11501No? 11501 Nobody sick?
11501Not one, did I say? 11501 Nothing has happened to your girls, but--""Then what in hell--?"
11501Now that you''ve got those rivets out of your system, may I get personal for an instant?
11501Now what do you know about that?
11501Of course you know I would n''t take it?
11501Oh, do I? 11501 Oh, what''s the use?
11501Only eighty dollars?
11501Perhaps you think you can play the part better than I?

11501Sure? 11501 Then what has become of those pick- ups?"
11501Then, I''m-- discharged? 11501 There is nothing to deny, is there?"
11501There''s nothing modest about you, is there?
11501Thou knowest me not?

11501Yeah?

11501You received a cablegram from your son in London?
11501You think so?
11501You think well of yourself, do n''t you?

11501You?

11501_ W- what_?
11501_ What?_Burns''s jaw dropped limply; he leaned forward in his chair.
11501_ Who_ got it?
11501_ Would_ you?
11501_ You''ll_ pay your way? 11501 _ Your_ cabin?
11501''Do you realize what it means?''

11501After a moment he inquired, curiously:"Do n''t you understand?"
11501After an awkward moment the physician queried,"How in the world did you learn to speak such good English?"
11501After an instant he continued, harshly,"Then you are the daughter of the Moor?"
11501Ai n''t we takin''a chance every day we stay here?
11501Am I dreaming?"
11501Among the effects was a plush muff, out of which, as he picked it up, fell a pair of little knitted mittens-- or was there a pair?
11501And say-- don''t you know that no two men can write similar descriptions of anybody or anything?
11501And you, what are you doing?''
11501And you?
11501Anderson''s suspense bid fair to choke him; what if this were not the one?
11501Another week passed and Mitchell''s sales were scarcely noticeable, so Mr. Comer called him in to ask:"Is your''phone disconnected?"
11501Anything else you''d like?
11501Are any of them salesmen, for instance?"
11501Are n''t you a reporter?"
11501Are these fellows Congress- or minstrel- men?"
11501Are we not, then, attuned?"
11501Are you ashamed of me?"
11501Are you here again?"
11501Bill protested,"Say, what is this you''re giving me, the third degree?"
11501Bones?"
11501But how?"
11501But the editor gave him no time for explanation, demanding, fiercely:"Where''s that check I sent you?"
11501But was this singing?
11501But what can I do?
11501But what if it were the right one?
11501But what''s it to ye?"
11501But who could he get to do the work?
11501But why do you come here?"
11501But why waste your valuable time?
11501But why-- why did n''t you tell me?
11501But, after all, had she really brought a trunk with her?
11501Ca n''t a fellow display a little courtesy in business?"
11501Can you beat it?"
11501Can you go to work to- night?"
11501Can you have it ready by Saturday, three days from now?"
11501Canadian, was n''t she?"
11501Champeen, huh?"
11501Could it be in some other rooming- house?
11501Could mortal lips give birth to melody like this?
11501Could you keep your head there?"
11501D''you know it''s foot- racin''time with the Injuns?"
11501D''you think I''m lost?"
11501D''you think for a minute--?"
11501Did n''t you get no paper from that missionary?"
11501Did n''t you know she was going?"
11501Did you think I''d renig?"
11501Do I make myself clear?
11501Do I make myself plain?"
11501Do n''t you know?
11501Do n''t you see this panic makes the thing possible?
11501Do n''t you think I see it all now?
11501Do n''t you understand?"
11501Do you know how awful the darkness is?"
11501Do you think that''s why I offered to help her?"
11501Do you think you could land it if you went?"
11501Do you understand?
11501Does he still care, or-- does he hate me, as he should?"
11501Father took me abroad the day after Thanksgiving-- you remember?
11501Folsom halted; after a momentary pause he repeated, vaguely,"Went out?"
11501Fools?
11501Girl stuff, you understand?
11501Green?"
11501Growing impatient, at length, he inquired of the boy;"Is somebody dead around here or is this where the City Council meets?"
11501Had you?"
11501Harkness pulled back his parka hood and cried, boastfully:"What did I tell you?
11501Have you ever done evil before this night?"
11501Have you found who that girl is?"
11501He is here, is n''t he?''
11501He never was partners with nobody, understand?
11501He was counting aloud-- but was that his voice?
11501He''s all right, is n''t he?
11501Hey, boys?"
11501His brains were in his feet, eh?
11501How can a man get ahead, with no insurance?"
11501How could any woman see past that glacial front and glimpse the big, aching heart beyond?
11501How could he be scientific, how could he find play for genius when he sat at the end of a telephone wire and answered routine questions from a card?
11501How do you feel after all this?"
11501How do you know?"
11501How do you mean he overreached himself?"
11501How is your head?"
11501How many times have I told you not to exert yourself?"
11501How much?"
11501How so?"
11501How you aim to get to the Kobuk without me?"
11501How you know that, eh?"
11501How_ stop_ her?
11501I do n''t wish to inflict unnecessary pain upon my friends, but do n''t you suppose I know what this means?
11501I figured he was lyin'', so I said:"Where did you get your degree-- off of a thermometer?"
11501I never knew the silver bird to fly off a dollar and scratch a guy, did you?"
11501I''d look fine, would n''t I, circularizing a dead story?
11501I''d love to call--""Is that so?
11501I''ve treated you badly, Mr. Mitchell, but-- I wonder if you''re too tired to tell my engineers what you told me just now?
11501I-- I have been too forward, perhaps?"
11501I-- You-- won''t irritate him?
11501I--""What is the amount of your proposal?"
11501Is he a gum- shoe?"
11501Is it because I''m an Indian--?"
11501Is n''t your interest in the play a trifle-- tardy?"
11501Is that room enough?"
11501Is there anything else?"
11501Is your automobile out of order?"
11501It started in my store-- my little girl, you understand?
11501It was a moment before she went on in fierce resentment:"Why did n''t they leave me as they found me?
11501Jack Crawford had turned out so unhappily-- some men were brutes, were n''t they?
11501Just put your knee in his stummick, will you?
11501Let me know what comes off, will you?"
11501Mac sent me up for a deck of cards, but-- Say, that''s funny, ai n''t it?"
11501Murphy?"
11501Must I then suffer these infidels to befoul my garden?"
11501Must he examine every grisly corpse upon the premises?
11501Nobody knew it but us--""How d''you know?"
11501Norma-- d''you hear that?
11501Now then, in what business could she have been engaged where she found it necessary to keep memoranda of such inconsiderable sums?
11501Now, then, you must sweep all that aside; your own fire must set her ablaze despite--""I?
11501Oh, why?"
11501Or has something really happened?
11501Or is His power insufficient to forestall the devil?
11501Peebleby?"
11501Run- away?
11501S''pose we go out and marry her?"
11501Say, why did n''t you walk out when you got that check?
11501Send who?
11501She comes to see me every day--""Every day?"
11501She''s svell, ant she, Bill?
11501Sit down, wo n''t you?"
11501Suppose I try to find you a place as governess?"
11501Surely they do n''t forget that?"
11501Sweet, ai n''t it?"
11501Tell me then, has he-- has he-- changed?
11501Tell me, how did you acquire that cough?"
11501Tell me, there is something wrong?
11501That''s fair, is n''t it?"
11501The Indian came, and the doctor continued,"When do you hold the horse- races, Thomas?"
11501The illustrious Moslem shook his head, whereat Abul Malek cried:"Does not the Koran direct us to destroy the unbelieving and the impious?
11501The notices are swell, ai n''t they?"
11501Then above the clamor she inquired, with biting malice:"Dost thou any longer doubt, oh, Christian, that I adore thee?"
11501Then he exclaimed:"I say, old top, what blew off?"
11501Then why did she go out with only one mitten?
11501Then why the paper?
11501There was a brief silence, then Mr. Peebleby inquired,"By the way, who helped you figure those prints?"
11501There was a moment of amazed silence, then the young lady snapped:"''Good morning''?
11501There was a pause, during which the man strove to master himself; then he asked, in the same harsh accents:"How long have you been here?"
11501They meet on common ground, do n''t you see?"
11501They''re bound to have a bad influence over us-- I feel it a''ready, do n''t you?
11501Think she''s going to get up and walk out on us?"
11501This is Gross''s night at the Maccabbees'', is n''t it?"
11501This is a long way from the world out here, is n''t it?''
11501Understand?"
11501Up where?
11501Vot mak''you tank she''ll come?
11501We have the whole creek--""Say, how much d''you need to satisfy you?"
11501Well, s''pose you meet me to- night at the gap in the hedge and we''ll take a walk?"
11501Well, where was the trunk that went with this country dressmaker?
11501What ails you?"
11501What are ye drivin''at?"
11501What are ye waitin''for?"
11501What are you grinning about?
11501What are you talking about?"
11501What can I do?
11501What could I do?
11501What could be finer than to alleviate pain?
11501What d''ye want?"
11501What d''you think this paper is, anyhow?
11501What did she mean?"
11501What do you mean?"
11501What do you want?"
11501What for?"
11501What if he had made a mistake after all?
11501What if he were buckled to the end of a wire?
11501What if some link in his chain were faulty?
11501What if some other bidder had made a mistake and underfigured?
11501What if this key he clutched in his cold palm should fit the lock?
11501What instrument?
11501What is it; please?
11501What is it?"
11501What is this, the Weather Bureau?
11501What killed her?
11501What made you come back?"
11501What miracle bestowed this gift--?"
11501What strange chemistry?"
11501What troubles you, William?"
11501What was it?"
11501What will you do?"
11501What wizardry do you possess?
11501What''s the difference whether her hair is burnished gold or''raw gold''or her eyes bluish gray instead of grayish blue?
11501What''s the matter with it?"
11501What''s the matter?"
11501What''s the price of those rivets?"
11501What?"
11501When I hand you a hundred thousand iron men we quit-- no questions, no regrets; Is that it?
11501When he had broken the bad news she inquired, bravely:"What is your plan, boy?"
11501When he had finished he flung out this question suddenly:"Does that include the Commissioners?"
11501When he had finished his listener cried:"Shure it was a rotten trick, but why d''ye come here?"
11501When the audience had dispersed, Hanford inquired, blankly,"Do n''t you intend to act on my suggestions?"
11501When the savage had got his features together, I said to him,"How you catch um bump, hey?"
11501When?
11501Where are the others?"
11501Where do you ride to- day?"
11501Where does she live?
11501Where is it?"
11501Where is that trunk?
11501Where is that trunk?"
11501Where you been all winter?"
11501Where you been, anyhow?
11501Where''s the justice of it?
11501Where?"
11501Which compartment had the fellow said?
11501Which one is it?"
11501Who are these over- dressed gentlemen I see promenading back and forth?"
11501Who are you?
11501Who is he?"
11501Who told you?"
11501Why did n''t they keep them covered?
11501Why did n''t they show a card outside?
11501Why did they teach me their ways, and then send me back to this-- this dirt and ignorance and squalor?
11501Why did this happen to me?
11501Why did you come back?"
11501Why do n''t you bring her in?"
11501Why do n''t you let him have the gal?"
11501Why do n''t you practise among the masses?
11501Why does n''t she stick to the Park?"
11501Why had she taken pains to tear off a piece of wrapping- paper, jot down figures so easy to remember, and preserve them in her purse?
11501Why in hell did you send him over here?"
11501Why in thunder did you hold on so long?"
11501Why is that?
11501Why not?"
11501Why, say, we''d wait four years, would n''t we?
11501Why--?"
11501Why?
11501Why?
11501Why?
11501Why?
11501Why?"
11501Will we wait?
11501Will you go?"
11501Will you let me go?"
11501Will you see him?"
11501Wo n''t the Indians talk to you?"
11501Would n''t that be a laugh on me?
11501Would you entertain a proposition to go back to America and become my partner?"
11501You do n''t believe in hunches, do you?
11501You do n''t mean--?
11501You do n''t object, I hope?"
11501You do n''t think I--?"
11501You ever seen a feather bed tied up with a rope?
11501You got my letters, eh?
11501You hate her, do n''t you?"
11501You have heard of me?"
11501You know Ponatah?"
11501You like blondes?"
11501You remember she said our folks had treated her bad?
11501You remember the yellow- haired girl who killed herself awhile ago?"
11501You think so, eh?
11501You will have your joke, eh?
11501You wo n''t hide yourself, will you?"
11501You would n''t give me the part, would you?
11501You''d marry me if I were rich, would n''t you?"
11501You''d want her to have a decent burial, and you''d want her mother to know how she came to such a pass, would n''t you?"
11501You''d want to know about it, would n''t you?"
11501You''ll blame me for leasing her, but how was I to know what she was?"
11501You''ll find out everything, wo n''t you?
11501You''re a regular guy, ai n''t you?"
11501You-- promise?"
11501Your time_ is_ valuable, I presume?"
11501_ I_ must do all this?"
11501_ What_?"
11501_ You_?
11501he said,"that little Monon lady saved your bacon, did n''t she?
11501he said; then with an effort,"What is the matter?"
11501he would cry, tugging at his midnight beard;"how can these men be aught but liars, when they live and preach a falsehood?
11501inquired Peebleby?
11501she whispered, and when he hesitated,"Do you fear to follow?"
19129''How d''ye get that way?'' 19129 ''What''s the matter with giving some one here a chance?''
19129''_ Hi_-ram,''huh?
19129Against me? 19129 Agreed, eh?
19129Al, where on earth do you suppose he''s been since you took him out on the desert and dumped him?
19129Al,said Lucy''s voice,"when we get that jack, are you going to give me a fair share of it?"
19129And he fell for it, did he?
19129And he just wants you to go out with him, hit or miss?
19129And how bout_ you_, Jo?
19129And how d''ye know where our Camp One is going to be located, girl?
19129And how long before the main contractors will get here?
19129And how''bout me?
19129And is n''t this rich? 19129 And ye saw only the face of one of''em, Hiram?"
19129And you did n''t ask her about''em?
19129And you did n''t see your friend come out of the restaurant while you were there?
19129And you never saw this fella that you got a look at?
19129And you''re sure they''ll send me down to southern California for two dollars and gi''me a job drivin''mules?
19129And you?
19129Are n''t you?
19129Are you a jerkline skinner?
19129Are you invitin''me to dine?
19129Are you the boss?
19129Are you trying to be funny?
19129Are-- are you goin''down on the street?
19129B''long on the desert, girlie?
19129Back, eh? 19129 Beaten up?
19129Been a farmer up in Mendocino?
19129But c''n you keep the books?
19129But have you thought,Drummond pointed out,"that perhaps Filer has committed the instructions to memory?"
19129But how about your next payment?
19129But how in thunder has she reached her present age without knowing it''s there?
19129But now listen: If I''d intended to do that I would n''t have told you that he told me to, would I? 19129 But were n''t they fixed for an ordeal, Heine?"
19129But why? 19129 By whose authority are you demanding this?"
19129Ca n''t we get some more of Hank''s pals and simply ambush Jo''s whole outfit? 19129 Ca n''t you drop around after supper, Heine?"
19129Ca n''t you go to work over at the camps and earn some money?
19129Can you meet it?
19129Cheese, Thumbscrew, where''d youse glom it?
19129Could n''t they have untied the knots?
19129Could you help about the cooking?
19129D''ye find any jobs in the paper?
19129D''ye hear, Minnie? 19129 D''ye know what they''re sayin''agin''ye?"
19129D''ye mean what c''n I do?
19129D''ye mean you''re broke?
19129Dalles, huh? 19129 De point is, are youse guys in on helpin''me lick up a growler?"
19129Desert girl, huh?
19129Did n''t I say it would be worth double that amount in a year or two?
19129Did they operate?
19129Did you do it? 19129 Did you ever see the likes o''that Jerkline Jo?"
19129Did you find out whether or not Drummond was in Ragtown at the time?
19129Did you get so cuckooed Jo had to leave you behind to sober up, Wild Cat? 19129 Did you see the fire?"
19129Do n''t you suppose he remembers me, Al? 19129 Do they go there often?"
19129Do you do that?
19129Do you know what he is going to do?
19129Do you love horses and mules?
19129Does a fella named Jerkline Jo belong to this outfit?
19129Drummond?
19129Drummond?
19129Feeling better, Uncle?
19129Figurin''on gougin''us out of our profits already, eh?
19129Got a date with Lucy, eh?
19129Had quite a little chat with Lucy to- day, eh?
19129Hittin''the trail for the first time, eh?
19129How about those jerkline skinners for southern California?
19129How d''ye get any o''these jobs?
19129How did you know about me, Uncle?
19129How did you lose your money?
19129How much jack did you leave him?
19129How old are you?
19129How on earth did they get wind of it?
19129How poor are_ we_?
19129How''bout it now, Jo?
19129How''bout takin''''i m into the mountains?
19129How''d you know my name?
19129How''s prospecting these days?
19129I do n''t know-- why?
19129I guess I c''n do what I want to with my own money, ca n''t I?
19129I mean, how poor are we now?
19129I said I''d tell you about it, did n''t I? 19129 I''m here, ai n''t I?
19129I''m not fired yet, am I?
19129I?
19129If I''m not too impertinent, can you meet it?
19129If he''d memorized them, why did he sit down on the desert to copy em?
19129Is he here?
19129Is n''t he the automobile- truck man from San Francisco?
19129Is this what you call legitimate business-- huh? 19129 Just how much jack you got on you yet, Hooker, old friend from Wild Cat?"
19129Just practicin''up again, eh?
19129Little girl, eh? 19129 Lucy, eh?
19129M''m- m-- I''d''a''made a good lawyer, would n''t I, Hiram?
19129Money?
19129N''Mexico, eh? 19129 Now that you''re rich and married and all?"
19129Now, Hiram, listen to me: I''ve known ye sence ye was knee- high to a duck, ai n''t I? 19129 Now?
19129Oh, what did he say?
19129Oh, will you? 19129 Plot?"
19129Proves I''m a bird, do n''t it? 19129 Right across from the restaurant was n''t it?"
19129Set us back?
19129Since when, Lucy?
19129So that''s Jerkline Jo, is it?
19129So you''ve fallen for her, too, have you?
19129Some class, eh? 19129 Sure enough, Al?"
19129T. H.''Who''s that stand for?
19129That means what? 19129 That''d make twenty- eight pair, would n''t it?"
19129Then as ye grew up th''Valley folks begun to shun ye, did n''t they?
19129This afternoon?
19129This is your foolish day, ai n''t it? 19129 Uh- huh-- but I mean how many span, pardner?"
19129Was Drummond there on your last trip in?
19129Was anybody with them?
19129Was that wagon built to go, or is it just an advertisement to show what the wagonmaker could do?
19129Well, Hiram,he said with a chuckle,"how much did they set us back?"
19129Well, Hooker,Drummond said sneeringly,"we meet again, do n''t we?
19129Well, Jo, how was the trip?
19129Well, how do you like her to- night?
19129Well, what if we have?
19129Well, what''ll we do?
19129Well, what''s to be done?
19129Well, who in thunder are you?
19129Well, you got a job, ai n''t you? 19129 Well-- well, how''ll we begin?
19129Well?
19129Well?
19129Wh- what''s wrong with you?
19129What am I doing? 19129 What are we going to do to get at that creature known as Jerkline Jo, the four- flusher?
19129What are you going to do with it?
19129What can we do? 19129 What d''ye follow?"
19129What d''ye mean fix him?
19129What did you tell me when I gave the mortgage, Uncle Sebastian?
19129What do they call you, girlie?
19129What do they do to you, Jo?
19129What do you follow?
19129What do you want me to do?
19129What does this mean?
19129What is it?
19129What is money? 19129 What is she, Hiram?"
19129What made our Gentle Wild Cat wild? 19129 What on earth has she?"
19129What sort of a man is he, Hiram?
19129What was it?
19129What''ll I do?
19129What''re you doin''''way up here? 19129 What''re you doin''--breakin''loose from home to make yer fortune?"
19129What''s the fire got to do with that? 19129 What''s wrong here, Blink?"
19129Where have you worked?
19129Where were you?
19129Where''ll we go?
19129Which way are you bound?
19129Which way, ma''am?
19129Who is he, anyway?
19129Who is repairing this road, please?
19129Who is there?
19129Who repaired the road back there?
19129Who, Tweet? 19129 Who?"
19129Why did you ship down here as a jerkline skinner, Mr. Tweet? 19129 Why do n''t you sell it, then?"
19129Why in thunder does n''t Tweet put a telephone line to civilization? 19129 Why should n''t I be?
19129Why, Hiram?
19129Why-- why-- do they think Lucy doped them?
19129Wild Cat, you say one o''these Jaspers was bendin''over Jo with this here razoo?
19129Will we be obliged to hire a watchman to camp by our water tank? 19129 Will you please tell me again what you did a few days back about the camp at Demarest, Spruce& Tillou?"
19129With you?
19129Wo n''t he ask about me? 19129 Would n''t I?
19129Yeah?
19129Yes?
19129You did n''t think I''d go so far as to invite you home with me if I did n''t know you, did you? 19129 You know her-- wh- what''s her name?"
19129You think because you''re crooked every other woman is, eh? 19129 You were n''t raised by Pickhandle Modock for nothing, were you?"
19129You''ll have to meet the next payment-- when?
19129You''re foreclosin''on me?
19129You''re just not through considerin'', eh? 19129 You''re still a waitress, then?"
19129You''ve been there?
19129You''ve had an interesting life, have n''t you?
19129You''ve heard of Mrs. Cummings, the writer, have n''t you? 19129 You-- you killed this man?"
19129_ What_?
19129''Fraid Heine or some of''em''ll get her away from you if you do n''t stick around-- that it?"
19129A little paint and a little powder and a frowsy topknot seems to sorta touched some new funny bone in you, eh?
19129A man''s got ta taste olives before he c''n tell if he likes''em, ai n''t he?
19129A woman ca n''t very well see the back of her head, can she?
19129After a little he asked pleadingly:"Ai n''t they all right?"
19129After all, had they given Hiram nothing?
19129Again, who''d have the nerve to dope and try to roll a skinner of Jerkline Jo''s?
19129Am I brutal-- for a woman?"
19129And by whom?"
19129And did n''t this sudden lavishness kinda set the company back on its haunches?"
19129And how are you going about it?"
19129And how old might ye be, now?"
19129And is n''t that razor far too sharp?"
19129And listen: Miss Worthington has fainted-- see?
19129And now you''ve got to chase her, eh?
19129And try to find out where I''ve gone?"
19129And two times twenty- eight is fifty- six, ai n''t it?"
19129And when you inked me up, and he got a look-- say, he could n''t tell his story fast enough, could he?"
19129And-- and-- if this is n''t trespassing on delicate ground-- sold them?"
19129Anything wrong?"
19129Are they asleep?"
19129Are you there?"
19129Are you, Hooker?"
19129As if answering his thoughts, Tweet said:"I''m a mystery to you, ai n''t I?
19129At least kinda know you?"
19129B''lieve it, Hiram?"
19129Besides, when Twitter- or- Tweet Tweet gets his nose to a trail, he''s one old hound that do n''t bark his head off-- see?
19129But about the razor?"
19129But how come it I dreamed about a place called Ragtown, a place that really is but that I never seen?"
19129But how did you know?
19129But if, when asked, I reply''Orr Tweet,''they say''What or Tweet?''
19129But it''s the truth, is n''t it?
19129But now, layin''all jokes aside, are they just the thing for drivin''old Jack and Ned on the railroad grade?
19129But tell me-- what do you figure you can lay freight down for at the spot where you say we''re bound to locate our biggest camp?"
19129But tell me-- what part of the country are you from?"
19129But to appear polite he asked:"What are you doing, then?"
19129But what c''n you expect from a man who''s suffered as he did?
19129But what particular thing d''ye expect me to excel in, Uncle Sebastian?"
19129But what''s she doing here?"
19129But why worry for nearly three months more?
19129But why-- why are you doin''this for me?"
19129But you''re not much of a stenog, Lucy-- was that you peckin''away in there?"
19129But-- but what, Hiram?"
19129By the way, did Hiram speak to you about advancin''him what pay was comin''to him?"
19129C''n you drive a team?"
19129Ca n''t you send Pete out with instructions to bite a rattlesnake, or something like that?"
19129Ca n''t you-- put your brain to work?"
19129Can that clock be right?
19129Can ye swing a hammer or push a saw?
19129Can you beat it?
19129Can you do that?
19129Can you steer us to her rendezvous, my friend?"
19129Can you yell?
19129Could it be possible that Jo and Hiram had got wind of the mystery?
19129D''ye get me?"
19129Did you get the sheepskin?"
19129Did you see him?"
19129Do n''t you think I''m a wonderful schemer, Hiram?"
19129Do n''t you think I''m funny at times, Gentle Wild Cat?
19129Do we go to southern California together, or not?
19129Do you know my father''s name?"
19129Do you know what your scalp looks like, at the back of your head, just above your ears?
19129Do you recognize this gat?"
19129Do you suppose a hair dresser would last very long in the business if she showed curiosity about a thing like that?
19129Do-- d''ye believe it or not?"
19129Drives a big drab car?"
19129Else why did he ride way up there to see Filer?
19129Ever heard that name?
19129For Heaven''s sake, put a little confidence in me, ma''am, ca n''t you?
19129Get me to doll you up, will you, you impossible roughneck?
19129Get that, Collins?
19129Getting a bit rested, Miss Modock?"
19129Give me the latest, will you?
19129Got a date with her, eh?
19129Got any ca''tridges, pardner?
19129Got any jackass?
19129Had Jo fallen down this precipice?
19129Had something happened?
19129Had the girl gone crazy?
19129Have n''t I promised you I would?
19129Have you seen it?
19129He was living a dream-- and who needs money in Dreamland?
19129He was thoughtful a minute, then finished with the question:"How long are you on cash?"
19129Heine, are you still keepin''Drummond in hot water?"
19129Here, too, she required[ Transcriber''s note: acquired?]
19129Hiram, ye ai n''t any too popular in Bear Valley-- d''ye know it?"
19129How could ye?
19129How do you like''em?"
19129How much you been held up for, Jo?"
19129How''bout it?"
19129Hurry and get dressed, wo n''t you?"
19129I did n''t get along the best in the world with Emma-- that''s by[ Transcribers''note: my?]
19129I guess you''re horrified, Hiram?"
19129I''m talkin''about makin''piles o''money, and I''m gettin''my breakfast off o''you, ai n''t I?
19129I''m there and I ai n''t there-- see?
19129I''ve promised Hooker to lead him to fame and fortune, and to do that I got ta stick with''i m, ai n''t I?
19129If I really was the heavy hitter I''m advertisin''myself to be I would n''t condescend to take you on, would I?
19129If not-- well, then, what''s th''difference?
19129Is he a pure fake?"
19129Is it worth anything to you?"
19129Is n''t that all logical?"
19129Is that entirely satisfactory?"
19129Is that it?
19129Is there something I can do for you?"
19129It was plain that Hiram had not previously made another copy, else why would he have stopped here on the desert to draft this one?
19129Jo fired you?"
19129Jo, was they aimin''to cut your pretty throat?"
19129Kenoke?"
19129Le''s see-- where they shippin''?"
19129Lucy Dalles, you say?
19129Lucy scoffed at this and dismissed it with:"That old lunatic?
19129Lucy what, now?"
19129Makin''good, eh?"
19129Man, how comes it I miss all the good things in this life?
19129Miss Dalles, is n''t it?
19129Mr. Hooker,_ are_ you a jerkline skinner?"
19129Now what''ll I say to that?
19129Now when are you and Hank and that friend of his going to make another attempt to get Jerkline Jo?
19129Now you know-- what''re you goin''to do about it?"
19129Now, Hooker, can you slip me a five- spot when we get to the camps?"
19129Now, both of you, the question is this: Do you prefer cash, or stock in the Paloma Rancho Investment Company, or land?
19129Oh, can you?
19129Oh, why did n''t I think of it, Minnie?
19129On?"
19129Or was the yuccas laughin''at ole Filer ag''in?
19129Peach, eh?
19129Please-- won''t you?"
19129Presently she asked:"Hiram, have you any ambition for an education?"
19129Pretty soft-- what?
19129Queen o''the earth, hey?
19129Ragtown, too, seems to be slowing up, do n''t you think?"
19129Say, lady,"he addressed Lucy,"fix''er up-- hey?
19129Say, try to slip me all of it, will you, Hiram?
19129Say, what''s your name?"
19129See him over there by that saloon?
19129See that straight, strong, black- headed desert girl in chaps and a Stetson?
19129See the point?
19129Shall I get this dope on him, if I can?"
19129She-- she''s still ill?"
19129Should he go back now and get Jo''s six- shooter?
19129Should he or should he not?
19129Should he?
19129So you want to see me dolled up, do you, Squint?
19129So''m I-- hey?"
19129Success, I say-- get that?
19129Suppose he had not chanced to look back?
19129Tell him I said it was a peach-- see?
19129That you do n''t care to consider it further?"
19129That''s what you been thinkin'', ai n''t it?
19129That''u''d be fifty- six dollars, would n''t it?"
19129The clicking of the typewriter ceased suddenly, and Jo asked:"Is n''t that a tent over there near the buttes, Wild Cat?"
19129The look almost said"What do you want?"
19129The waitress told me----""You mean Lucy?"
19129Then you''ll regain your old status, wo n''t you?"
19129Then, Al, why ca n''t you and I get the stuff, beat it, and give Hank and the other jasper the ha- ha?"
19129Then, after another thoughtful pause:"Say, I suppose you''re a little shy about bracin''these employment men, ai n''t you?"
19129Then, of course, the price ought to be about fifty- six dollars a haul, regardless of distance, had n''t it?"
19129Then,''I says,''how do you know I ca n''t make change?
19129Tweet?
19129Tweet?"
19129Tweet?"
19129Understand?"
19129Was Drummond back of this?
19129Was he making this way?"
19129Was he to suffer such pangs of stage fright always when about to meet her?
19129Was it a dream?
19129Was not this the adventure girl of whom he had dreamed?
19129Was there any particular reason ye had for stoppin''me?"
19129Was this the girl who had been beckoning him on?
19129We met in the Palace Dance Hall one night, did n''t we?"
19129Well, I will-- that is, if you care?"
19129Well, did n''t you stand in front of the jewelry shop for over a quarter of an hour before the fire this morning?"
19129Well, then, ca n''t you find somethin''for me to do for you, so''s I c''n ride with you to this new railroad?
19129Well, what d''ye say?"
19129Well, what d''ye want to follow?"
19129Well, what''ll I tell''er, Miss Lucy?"
19129Well,"he switched abruptly,"what you been thinkin''about our little deal?"
19129Whassa malla?
19129What c''n I do away from here?
19129What can that mean?
19129What d''ye expect of me, anyway?"
19129What d''ye say, now?
19129What d''ye say?"
19129What d''ye want-- you?"
19129What d''ye want?
19129What do you mean, now?"
19129What do you mean, waking me up in the middle of the night?
19129What do you think of my scheme, Hiram?"
19129What else?
19129What has happened?
19129What has happened?
19129What have I done?"
19129What is he?
19129What is the matter with me?
19129What on earth is all this, anyway?"
19129What seems to be wrong, Heine?"
19129What she said was:"Will you accept my check?"
19129What should he do?
19129What''ll I do if they begin to get rambunctious, Hiram?"
19129What''ll I tell her?"
19129What''re you going to do about it?
19129What''s best to do?"
19129What''s city life and all that money will buy compared with the thrill of driving a ten- horse jerkline team over the desert and the mountains?
19129What''s the dif''rence anyway?"
19129What''s the matter with those Ikes over there at Julia?
19129What''s this?"
19129What''s to be done first?"
19129When there''s an opening for better pay and easier work,''I says,''why do n''t you come to us and see if any of us think we can hold it down?
19129Where are you?"
19129Where to?"
19129Where you from?"
19129Where''s yer paw and maw?"
19129Where?"
19129Who are you?"
19129Why did you come down here?"
19129Why do you keep harping on that, Lucy?
19129Why in thunder did n''t Hank''s friend, Pete,''tend to the business up there in the mountains, after you and Hank had beat it?
19129Will ye answer, eh?"
19129Will ye be at th''store at half past nine?"
19129Will you be greatly shocked when you see me go into a tent saloon and drink a glass of beer with the rabble of the big camps?"
19129Will you come to the door a second?
19129Will you?"
19129With a little jerk he emerged from reverie and asked:"And what d''ye expect to take up here in Frisco?"
19129Wo n''t you try to get to that heavy- set man in the machine for me?
19129You came''way up here to spring somethin''on me, did n''t you?
19129You do n''t mind my being so personal, do you?
19129You was found on the desert, was n''t ye-- when you''s li''l''girl-- baby girl?
19129You''ve heard the story of the lady who asked the ticket agent for''Two to Duluth,''have n''t you?
19129You''ve never seen much of the cultivated land, have you-- except from a distance?
19129_ When_ are we_ going_ to southern California?"
19129where''d we be if it was n''t so?"
15542A sort of an impersonal personal interest?
15542A tin box? 15542 Ai n''t it jest a leetle mite-- well, like she was writing with a poker down her back?"
15542Ai n''t she wearing another man''s ring?
15542Ai n''t that too bad?
15542Ai n''t you going to let her invite get cold before you butt in?
15542Am I the only one that gave a wrong name?
15542Am I to hear the good news?
15542Am I to read this here_ billy doo_?
15542Am I? 15542 And Juanita?"
15542And he would n''t agree not to prosecute?
15542And now I really think you''ve been impudent enough, do n''t you?
15542And so you think it never can?
15542And that is all?
15542And this was after Pedro had been thrown?
15542And what shall I do with the letter?
15542And will you let me know, quietly, without telling them?
15542And with the Moreño grant, made by Governor Armijo?
15542And you did nothing?
15542And you were watching me all the time?
15542And_ Señorita_ Valdés?
15542And_ my_ business on earth is to fight you, is it not? 15542 Anyhow, what''s he want to fight about?
15542Are n''t you Juanita?
15542Are there others beside you that believe this nonsense about the American being in league with evil?
15542Are you as anxious I should make up my quarrel with you as the ones with your friends?
15542Are you asking me to sell my title or give it?
15542Are you going to scold me? 15542 Are you telling me that----?
15542At home?
15542At the Valdés house? 15542 Because I ai n''t bluffed out by a kid that needs a horse- whip laid on good and hard?
15542Because of... the estate?
15542Been writing about me, has he?
15542But after he did?
15542But ai n''t I your enemy, my little good Samaritan? 15542 But how do you know,_ Doña_?"
15542But it pains?
15542But the feed-- the winter feed,_ Señorita_?
15542But what''s the hitch about the Valdés grant? 15542 But when you say children-- well, do n''t you think wolves is a more accurate term for them?"
15542But why? 15542 But why?"
15542But you are acting under her orders?
15542But you make no move to arrest me?
15542But, good Lord, why for did you make such a play? 15542 But, if I should shoot again?"
15542But, why? 15542 But,_ Doña_, are you sure?
15542But-- do you mean that Pablo and Sebastian took him there?
15542But-- this_ Señor_ Gordon?
15542But-- why for, boy?
15542By whom?
15542Ca n''t be called very affectionate, can it?
15542Ca n''t you see, you old moss- back? 15542 Ca n''t you understand that this is no time for flippancy?
15542Can I?
15542Can you get your arm through the loop?
15542Can you hold on?
15542Could n''t they get him to sign some paper-- something saying that he would give up his claim-- or that he would sell out cheap?
15542Dad make a good bargain?
15542Did I not know it? 15542 Did I not say that he was a hero?
15542Did Miss Valdés come to town herself, or is she letting you run this abduction, Menendez?
15542Did Mrs. Corbett send for you?
15542Did you bring our mail back with you from Corbett''s?
15542Did-- did-- were you shot at?
15542Do I understand that Mr. Gordon declines to meet my friend on the field of honor?
15542Do n''t I draw even a Libby Prison allowance?
15542Do n''t you know, sir, that you must n''t ask one lady to praise the beauty of another?
15542Do n''t you know, you little stupid, that he is playing with you, that he will not marry you?
15542Do n''t you reckon Santa Fé can stand a little stirring up, Miss Underwood?
15542Do n''t you think she will let me? 15542 Do they condemn him-- absolutely?
15542Do with it? 15542 Do you know her well?"
15542Do you know that he has been followed ever since he came to town, that men have dogged his steps everywhere?
15542Do you live near here, then?
15542Do you mean that you drove all night-- along mountain roads?
15542Do you mean that you-- love him?
15542Do you think I want to beat you that way? 15542 Do you think so... really?
15542Does she hate the ground that Don Manuel walks on?
15542Does the lady live who would put her new hat in a gunny sack?
15542Doggone your hide, what are you doing here? 15542 Don Manuel is very anxious to have Miss Valdés win, is n''t he?"
15542Gone where?
15542Gone where?
15542Gone where?
15542Got a skeleton key to Mr. Gordon''s room--317, I think it is?
15542Had quite a little jamboree, did n''t we?
15542Has Mrs. Corbett been neglecting you?
15542Has he made love to you, this gringo? 15542 Has the young woman lost a ribbon or a lover?"
15542Have n''t you from the first tried to save this man from his own rashness? 15542 Have you ever heard of the Moreño grant?"
15542Have your lawyers told you yet that you have no chance?
15542He said he would horsewhip Pedro, did he?
15542Here? 15542 How about that,_ niña_?"
15542How are you going to keep from accepting it, Miss Valdés? 15542 How can I guess?
15542How could we tell that the_ Señorita_ would come to town? 15542 How do you know?
15542How do you know?
15542How do you like this room?
15542How else could I feel, and be a white man? 15542 How far I went?
15542How goes it, Tom? 15542 How is Don Manuel to- night?"
15542How is he, Pablo? 15542 How long ago?"
15542How should I know?
15542How would they move? 15542 How?
15542I can bet it like I had an ace full, ca n''t I? 15542 I reckon she banks a heap on that blue blood of hers?"
15542I suppose I may ask questions?
15542I trust,_ señor_, your experience of yesterday has not given you a wakeful night?
15542I''ve been very sick, have n''t I?
15542If I''m not your enemy, what am I?
15542If it is n''t Don Manuel who is it?
15542In the grape business, is she?
15542Is Don Manuel going bear- hunting?
15542Is Pedro going to ride the outcast?
15542Is he dead?
15542Is it a bruise or a sprain?
15542Is it not worth it, sir?
15542Is it yes, dear? 15542 Is it you, Pablo?"
15542Is love all sighs and vows?
15542Is she tall?
15542Is that a threat? 15542 Is that all-- nothing more than a friend or a relative?"
15542Is that all?
15542It has perhaps occur to you that it would have been much easier to shoot you and be done?
15542It is dangerous, you inform me?
15542It is you, Manuel?
15542It is, then, war between us, Señor Gordon?
15542It''ll be the story of Evangeline all over again, wo n''t it?
15542Jealous-- why?
15542Jimmie, if I had your imagination----But Davis cut into Dick''s smiling incredulity:"Did you say on horseback, Jimmie?"
15542Juanita, light of my life?
15542Lost him in these rocks, did you?
15542Manuel, tell me that I am right, that you do n''t mean to... hurt him?
15542Manuel, what do you think Mr. Gordon has done?
15542Married?
15542May I see_ Doña_ Valencia-- alone-- for just a minute?
15542Miss Valdés, do you know, ever since I''ve been well enough, I''ve been hoping that if one of us had to cross the Great Divide it would be me?
15542More friends yet? 15542 Mr. Richard Gordon?
15542Must you really be going, colonel? 15542 No more than that?"
15542Not taking any chances, are they?
15542Not worth mentioning? 15542 Oh, you expect to meet her?"
15542Oh,_ Doña_, he was, but--"You have quarreled with him?
15542Only sorry, Manuel?
15542Owned by Miss Valdés?
15542Sebastian-- or is it Pablo?
15542Señor Gordon, have you ever heard of the Valdés grant?
15542Shall I drop a pill or two down among them, just to let them know we''re on the premises?
15542Shall I shoot another and send it for a present to Don Manuel, Jimmie?
15542She has?
15542She lives somewhere round here, too, does she not?
15542She''s quit taking any interest in me, has she? 15542 Since when have I been''_ señorita_''to you, Ramon?"
15542Since you''re in love with her, why do n''t you marry Miss Valdés and consolidate the two claims?
15542Slim and graceful, I expect?
15542So I''m in love, am I?
15542So she''s young and beautiful, is she?
15542So you advise me to cut and run, do you?
15542So you have lied to me, sir?
15542So you think I''m an infant at that game, do you?
15542So? 15542 So?
15542Some one die and leave you a million dollars, son?
15542Some one has told?
15542Starved as well as beaten, Manuel?
15542Steve Davis-- from Cripple Creek, Colorado, God''s Country?
15542Supreme Court decision just come down in your favor?
15542Sure it was n''t a lady, Dick?
15542That idea''s fixed in your mind, is it?
15542That was it, eh?
15542That you would be found out before you had won your end? 15542 That''s what you''d do, is it?"
15542The Valdés''tenants have settled on the land, grazed their flocks over it, bought farms here and there from the heirs, have n''t they?
15542The claims conflict, do they not?
15542The land included in this grant is of great value?
15542The_ señorita_ sent for me?
15542Then Mr. Gordon is what you call brave?
15542Then he refused?
15542Then we''ll meet your lady of the ranch quicker, wo n''t we?
15542Then why did you not tell me then who you are? 15542 Then you can tell me where I may find him?"
15542Then you must know the truth-- that if you kill this man I can never----"Never what?
15542They''re hitting the trail, are they?
15542Think I''m going to make a monkey of myself at my age?
15542Think we''ll be able to wolf the real owners out of their property all right, do you?
15542To Corbett''s?
15542Two, did you say?
15542Valencia, you love me?
15542Was I? 15542 Was that why you offered a hundred dollars''reward for the arrest of these same men?"
15542Well, at Corbett''s, then?
15542Well, did the Don take possession?
15542Well, she''s engaged, ai n''t she? 15542 Well, what did he say?
15542Well, what''s the matter with his hoping you''ll be all right soon?
15542Well, why do n''t you behave? 15542 What American?"
15542What about Juanita?
15542What about a nurse?
15542What about, my cousin?
15542What are they following you for?
15542What are you going to do with the papers now you have them, Miss Valdés?
15542What commission do you charge for running your matrimonial bureau?
15542What did you answer to the_ billy doo_?
15542What do n''t you know about her?
15542What do you want with a bunch of old letters?
15542What does she mean about a consolidation?
15542What else could I have done and held my self- respect? 15542 What good does it do you when you quarrel all the time you''re together?
15542What good does that do you? 15542 What happens to little girls when they ask too many questions?
15542What have you done with Mr. Gordon? 15542 What is it that I can do for you?"
15542What is it you have to tell? 15542 What is the matter?
15542What is this honor you talk so much about? 15542 What others?"
15542What shall_ I_ do with it?
15542What sort of a compromise have you to offer, sir?
15542What were his reasons, Mr. Gordon-- that is, if they are not a private affair between you and him?
15542What you going to do about it?
15542What''s bitin''you, anyhow? 15542 What''s new, Tregarth?"
15542What''s the matter with beating it while we''ve got a chanct?
15542What''s the sense of you going into the police business, Dick? 15542 What''s your first play, Dick?"
15542When, may I ask, did you discover who I was?
15542Where did you learn your riding, partner?
15542Where have you been? 15542 Where is Mr. Gordon?
15542Where is he, Sebastian? 15542 Where?"
15542Where?
15542Where?
15542Who has gone? 15542 Who is it this time I''ve got to be grateful for?"
15542Who was it? 15542 Who, child?
15542Why did you do it? 15542 Why do you say that?"
15542Why does the_ señorita_ send you every day to find out how he is? 15542 Why should I interfere?
15542Why should he pay it? 15542 Why should you be forced to give way to me?
15542Why?
15542Why?
15542Why?
15542Will I? 15542 Will any explanation alter the facts?
15542Will it not sacrifice pride and vanity for the object of its devotion?
15542Will the_ señor_ and the_ señorita_ take a walk? 15542 Will you be willing to tell him how you feel about it?"
15542Will you consent then to settle the matter with me, man to man? 15542 Will you please explain that?"
15542Will you then leave it to her to punish these men?
15542Would it be wise for me to admit I have none, before I go to discuss the terms of the treaty?
15542Would n''t they? 15542 Would you like to see the old Valdés house here in Santa Fé?
15542Would you mind having that box brought to me, Miss Valdés? 15542 Yes?"
15542Yet you say you love me?
15542You ai n''t aiming to mix with this whole blamed country, are you?
15542You are Juanita, are you not?
15542You are familiar with the Valdés grant?
15542You are interested in Miss Valdés?
15542You are then resolve'',_ Señor_?
15542You are then wounded, sir?
15542You believe the boy did see some men on horseback? 15542 You could n''t give_ my_ word, could you?
15542You darned old son- of- a- gun, what do you mean by scaring us like this? 15542 You do love me, do n''t you, Manuel?"
15542You do n''t mean that Valencia----?
15542You knew then,_ señor_, that I was the man?
15542You mean that Pablo was jealous?
15542You mean that he... loves Valencia Valdés?
15542You never know when you are licked, do you? 15542 You think that Mr. Pesquiera has hired them to watch you?"
15542You think they mean to attack us in the open?
15542You want me to believe that, even though you refuse the first real request I ever made of you?
15542You want to know why we have made you prisoner,_ Señor_ Gordon?
15542You were riding past, I expect?
15542You were to mention that to Manuel, I suppose?''
15542You will marry me?
15542You''re not going to push the cases against Pablo and Sebastian and still try to live in the valley, are you?
15542You-- what?
15542Your friend, then, is in peril, is it not so?
15542Your lawyers are paid to look up all this, are n''t they? 15542 _ Amigo!_ Since when have I been friend to you and not lover, Juanita?
15542_ Como_?
15542_ Doña,_ are you here?
15542_ Señor,_ shall I take the gag from your mouth? 15542 _ Señor_ Pesquiera?"
15542_ Si, Doña_, but----"But in the main we have always been sheep- herders, so we ought always to be? 15542 _ Si, Señorita._""And he was kind to you?
15542A regular case of beauty and the beast, ai n''t it?"
15542A regular debating society, ai n''t you?"
15542After a moment he added sullenly:"_ Maldito_, how is the son of a thief?"
15542After all, why should he pursue wealth and success when love and laughter waited for him in this peaceful valley chosen of the gods?
15542Afterward...""Afterward,_ alma mia?_"She nodded.
15542Ai n''t I making enough money up at Cripple Creek for my needs?
15542Ai n''t any of you got a lick of sense?
15542Ai n''t she a thoroughbred, Steve?"
15542Am I not right?
15542And had he not said, too, that she was a little angel for nursing him so patiently?
15542And what has been happening of such tremendous importance?"
15542And what of Pablo?"
15542And when did they go?
15542And why should she care what becomes of the traitor?"
15542Are you acquaint''with Mr. Richard Gordon?"
15542Are you hurt?"
15542Are you not a liar and a cheat?
15542As much as that?
15542Bean''t they, lads?"
15542Both of un?
15542But how can I love you when your heart is full of cruelty and jealousy and revenge?
15542But how?
15542But shall I break faith with him and let him be delivered to justice?
15542But what do you expect me to do when a fellow slaps my face?"
15542But you''ll send me a card, wo n''t you?"
15542Ca n''t I do a thing for you in the refreshment line first?
15542Ca n''t you make him see it, sir?"
15542Can she not telephone?
15542Can you do that, Pablo?
15542Can you feed me a cigareet?"
15542Can you make out how many there are?
15542Can you tell me whether it was saved?
15542Can you wait a few moments?"
15542Care if I smoke again?"
15542Corbett?"
15542Could it be Pablo who had shot at Gordon from ambush?
15542Dad blame it, have I got to watch my patients like a hen does its chicks?
15542Did I not say so?"
15542Did Juanita tell you----?"
15542Did he not already know that it was Pedro who shot at him?
15542Did he tell you so?"
15542Did n''t I tell you not to walk more than a few steps?"
15542Did n''t I tell you that you ca n''t bat these greasers over the head the way you can the Poles in the mines?"
15542Did n''t he run his fool laigs off getting you free so you could go back and make love to his girl?"
15542Did n''t she drive me off the ranch with that game leg of mine all to the bad?
15542Did n''t she tell me right off the bat what kind of a hairpin I was?
15542Did n''t you have a notion?"
15542Did n''t you hear the lady give you a bid to her party this mo''ning?
15542Did you find Mr. Gordon at home?"
15542Did you find Mr. Gordon so ready to give you his word and break it when he was your prisoner?"
15542Did you see the doctor and talk with him?
15542Do I have to show blue blood before I can be presented?
15542Do I win or lose, Valencia?"
15542Do n''t I know you?
15542Do n''t cry,_ niña_""How can it come right, with all of you working to make things wrong?"
15542Do n''t know I''m on the earth, you old owl?
15542Do n''t you think it''s about time for us to be heading back home?"
15542Do you know, my own people are in a dangerous mood?
15542Do you not owe something to her?"
15542Do you not see he is a villain, that he has the forked tongue, as old Bear Paw, the Navajo, says of all gringoes?
15542Do you think I am a highwayman, or that I shall let my people be?"
15542Do you understand?"
15542Do you?"
15542Does n''t he owe something to us-- to me-- and especially to you?"
15542Eh,_ Doña_?"
15542Feel as if you''d been run through a sausage- grinder?"
15542Funny how women act, ai n''t it?
15542Gordon''s?"
15542Gordon?"
15542Gordon?"
15542Gordon?"
15542Had he not broken the spirit of that outlaw devil Teddy in ten minutes?
15542Had he not once put his arm around her shoulder and told her to"buck up"when he came upon her crying because of Pedro?
15542Had he not proved himself unworthy by turning the head of Juanita, whom he could not possibly expect to marry?
15542Had he not seen him lean on her shoulder as he hobbled out to the porch, just as a lover might on that of his sweetheart?
15542Had he not told her she was the prettiest girl in the neighborhood?
15542Had he not won her by meeting the test she had given him?
15542Had he stolen her heart with his devilish wiles?
15542Had she not been good to his children when they had small- pox?
15542Had she not sold him his place cheaper than any other man could have bought it?
15542Had this stranger, who was bringing trouble to the whole valley, come between him and little Juanita, whom he had loved since they had been children?
15542Has he whispered soft, false lies in your ear, Juanita?
15542Have I not given my word that-- after the American was saved----?"
15542Have I not traveled from New Mexico up this steep roof of the continent merely to explain how matters stand?
15542Have I the right in thinking him of the name of Mr. Richard Gordon?"
15542Have a smoke, Don Manuel?"
15542Have you taken my advice in regard to consolidation?
15542He added after a pause:"It is this American, is it not?"
15542He perhaps mistakes me for what you call a-- a pettifogger, is it not?
15542He said--""Yes?"
15542Here now?
15542How can I come and ask you to fight my battles for me?
15542How can I thank you?"
15542How can we help it?
15542How can you take it from a whole company of them?"
15542How could I mean that, since I love you and am betrothed to you?
15542How could he say that he was ashamed to keep him tied while two armed men were in the room to watch him?
15542How did you get here?"
15542How do you know the_ señorita_ knows?"
15542How do you know?"
15542How is he going to get in out of the rain about that time?"
15542How many happy families you want to break up?
15542How was it possible for him to sleep so easily and lightly while he lay within the shadow of violent death?
15542How''s the_ don_?"
15542I demand to know who did it?"
15542I hope you had a good night''s rest, and that your knee did not greatly pain you?"
15542I mean, would it be if I were a claimant?"
15542I reckon you did n''t duck him for nothing, did you?
15542I suppose you have brought genealogical proofs with you?"
15542I suppose_ you_, too, will want to shoot him from ambush?"
15542I think you mentioned business, sir?"
15542I''m calling for that extra card for the looks of it, but my hand is full up without it""What''s in your hand, anyhow, outside of your legal right?
15542If she had to stifle some faint, indefinable regret, was it not right that she should?
15542If so, why was he so bitter against the common enemy?
15542If we must have trouble why ca n''t we let the law settle it?
15542If you were called away, why did you not leave a message for me?"
15542Important---- Is it not so?"
15542In what way kind?"
15542Instead, he voiced an alien thought that happened to intrude:"Do you know Señorita Valdés?
15542Is Dick a friend of your family?"
15542Is a man''s life not worth all to him?
15542Is he a god, and are we slaves?"
15542Is he an infant at it, too?"
15542Is he not an enemy to the_ señorita_--to all in the valley who have bought from her or her father or her grandfather?
15542Is he not here to throw us out-- a thief, a spy, a snake in the grass?"
15542Is he not?"
15542Is it certain they will not hold me in prison?"
15542Is it not so,_ niña_?"
15542Is it not so?"
15542Is it not so?"
15542Is it not that a house is a prison in such an hour?
15542Is it that you are still thinking of murdering him, Manuel?"
15542Is it true that this thief has stolen the love of my Juanita?"
15542Is my guess right?
15542Is n''t that just like a woman?"
15542Is n''t that what all your people are saying?"
15542Is n''t that what you''re going to use them for?"
15542Is not Pedro a sure shot, and did he not miss twice?
15542Is she as lovely as they say she is?"
15542Is that it?"
15542Is that late enough?
15542Is that not enough?
15542Is that not simple?"
15542It will be all right if I favor it""Favor it?
15542It''s not the first time, either, is it?
15542Jesu Cristo, who would know we did it?"
15542Like to look at it, Miss Valdés?"
15542May I give them your pledge not to appear as a witness against them for what they have done?"
15542My, we''re liable to go bankrupt in New Mexico, ai n''t we?
15542Object if I smoke here?"
15542Of what use to argue with the_ doña_ when her teeth were set?
15542Oh,_ Señorita_, do you think he will kill the American?"
15542Old Steve?"
15542Once he broke out with:"Did n''t she feed you well enough, or was it just that you did n''t_ know_ when you were well off?"
15542Or are you just having a kid quarrel with a girl?"
15542Or are you only a hot- headed, selfish, foolish boy?"
15542Or to these others?
15542Or was it in the possession of some one friendly to the scheme upon which the Mexicans had engaged?
15542Ought I to know about it?"
15542Pablo repeated stupidly,"Miss Valdés-- the_ señorita_?"
15542Perhaps---- But, no, had he not with his own eyes seen the man bantering Juanita while the color came and went in her wild rose cheeks?
15542Said I was a spy and a thief and a liar, did n''t she?
15542Say, ai n''t I rich?
15542Say, where can I find the original of this_ Agua Caliente_ grant, Miss Kate?"
15542Say, will you excuse me just a minute?
15542See that fellow with the Mexican hat?
15542See?
15542Shall I go to your friend and give him information?"
15542Shall I lend you a match?"
15542Shall we talk of something else?"
15542She looked through the window at the sunlit warmth of the land, and, after a long time, said:"Must we talk of that, Manuel?"
15542She paused just a moment before she said quietly:"But first, what about Mr. Gordon?
15542She said it, did n''t she?
15542So?
15542So?
15542So?"
15542Tell me what is in the air; what is planned for Señor Gordon; what Pedro has to do with it?
15542That Pesky fellow?"
15542That''s you, Dick Gordon, un''erstand?"
15542The original grantee was Don Bartolomé de Valdés, was he not?"
15542The point is, what will they do when they find he stands the acid?"
15542The señor could still see the holes in the pictures, could he not?
15542There could n''t be after this, could there?"
15542Think I ai n''t learned my ABC''s about my dry- nurse yet?"
15542Threw the hot shot into me proper for a cheap skate swindler, eh?"
15542Tom all right, Doctor?"
15542Tregarth boomed out in a heavy bass:"What''s the matter with the boss?
15542Want to come down with me, Tregarth?"
15542Was I precipitate?
15542Was he being led into a trap?
15542Was he not a gallant gentleman, of her own race and caste, bound to her by ties of many sorts, in every way worthy to be the father of her children?
15542Was he not the one suitable mate for her of all the men she knew?
15542Was it because she had been immodest in letting him so far have his way?
15542Was it possible after all that his jealousy had been useless?
15542Was not Manuel in every way worthy of her love?
15542Was she not a Valdés?
15542Was the house an unoccupied one?
15542Was there another in New Mexico that could, though taken at advantage, put up so fierce a fight against big odds?
15542What about Don Manuel?
15542What about Don Manuel?"
15542What business had they there at this time of the year?
15542What could it mean?
15542What could one do with a madman who insisted on throwing his life away?
15542What could they gain by it?"
15542What do you honestly think yourself about the legal end, ma''am?"
15542What do you say?
15542What do you think the madman did then?"
15542What does he say?"
15542What has happened?
15542What has he done to you?
15542What have I done any more than you to earn all this?"
15542What have you been up to?"
15542What have you done with Sebastian?
15542What have you done with him?
15542What have you to tell me?"
15542What in Mexico had got into the young idiot to make him do such a fool thing?
15542What in Mexico is ailin''you, anyhow?
15542What interest could Miss Valdés have in a spy and a cheat?"
15542What is it all about?"
15542What is it that you know?"
15542What is it that you know?"
15542What is your definition of a criminal anyhow?
15542What kind of a grant is it?"
15542What makes you think so?"
15542What shall I do?
15542What was it all about?"
15542What will you give me to let you into the room?"
15542What you kickin''about?"
15542What''ll it be?"
15542What''s that mean?"
15542What''s the charge against me?"
15542What''s the use of making a holy Caruso of yourself?
15542When I asked you about the grants did n''t you guess who I was?
15542Where have you him hidden?"
15542Where is Sebastian?"
15542Where were they taking him?
15542Where would you go?"
15542Wherefore, then, should the young men feel the spur of an ambition to take the world by the throat and wring success from it?
15542Who did it, sir?
15542Who else could shoot the heads off chickens at a distance as he had done?
15542Who has been taking care of me?"
15542Who was at the bottom of the attack upon him?
15542Who was he?"
15542Whom is it that they have gone to kill?"
15542Why did n''t she send a rig if you had to come?"
15542Why did she both admire him and resent his conduct, trust him to the limit one hour and distrust the next?
15542Why did the_ Doña_ drag her heart out to look at it?
15542Why did you leave without telling me about it?"
15542Why do n''t builders nowadays make such rooms?"
15542Why do n''t you ask me to compromise this land grant business?"
15542Why do n''t you come to an agreement with her?"
15542Why do n''t you go, old Calamity Prophet?"
15542Why do n''t you try a little horse sense for a change?
15542Why do the rightful heirs lose out and the villain gain possession?"
15542Why do you do it, then?"
15542Why had they not killed him at once?
15542Why is there a doubt of its legality?"
15542Why must all this bad will and bloodshed come into our happy little valley?
15542Why should I object?"
15542Why should he distrust her?
15542Why should he not have been given land for them, since his was the sword that had won the land against the Apaches?"
15542Why should n''t I?"
15542Why should she not?
15542Why should you be bound by a pledge made at such a time?
15542Why should you feel responsibility to search for these papers that will ruin you and your tenants?"
15542Why should you nurse him?
15542Why should_ Señorita_ Valdés treat her so harshly?
15542Why was it he persisted in filling her mind so much of the time?
15542Why was it that he-- an unassuming American without any heroics-- rather than her affianced lover seemed to radiate romance as he moved?
15542Why, above all, had he done this foolish and criminal thing?
15542Why, in Heaven''s name, did you take him there?"
15542Why, then, should he assume she was his enemy?
15542Will Mr. Gordon, who is himself of the brave heart, make trouble for an unprotected child without father or mother?"
15542Will that do?"
15542Will this_ Americano_ keep his word?
15542Will you swear not to cry out and not to make any noise?"
15542Will you take me for a friend, even though I''m an enemy to the whole valley?"
15542Will you take your shoes off when you go into the holy of holies?"
15542Wo n''t that affect its legality?"
15542Wo n''t you Steve?"
15542Wo n''t you please get on and ride now?
15542Would Don Manuel betray him to the law?
15542Would it be a knife in the dark?"
15542Would you care to see them?"
15542Would you mind telling me his name-- if it is n''t a secret?"
15542You are staying at Corbett''s, I presume?"
15542You can go if you like, Steve?"
15542You find four out of five of them want to, do n''t you?"
15542You going to hold the fort here or take to the hills?"
15542You heard this morning yet how Tom is?"
15542You know it is her house?"
15542You nursed Mr. Gordon, did you?"
15542You think she hates me, then?"
15542You would give new deeds to those who have bought land, would n''t you?"
15542You''re making a fight for the Rio Chama Valley, ai n''t you?
15542You''re not just saying so because...?"
15542You''ve been served with a legal notice, then?
15542You-- and men like you-- of broad ideas, progressive, energetic----""Quite a philanthropist, ai n''t I?"
15542_ Sabe, Señor_?"
15542please?"
15542pretty?"
15542that----?"
15542uninjured?"
21255Ai n''t it a caution to yaller snakes? 21255 All right, what name?"
21255Are n''t you going?
21255Are you engaged?
21255Are you preaching?
21255Be gone long?
21255But come some other time, wo n''t you?
21255But perhaps you are ashamed of me?
21255Ca n''t you tell me Mary''s name?
21255Can you get him without marking him all up?
21255Can you ride a horse?
21255Did he say something to you which you resented?
21255Did you come by way of Wagon Wheel?
21255Did you ever have a tree burn up in your head?
21255Did you have any hand in the raid on Brownlow''s orchard a week later?
21255Did you see the write- up in yesterday''s Mother Lode?
21255Did your folks see you during the evening?
21255Do n''t you know old freckle- faced Jack? 21255 Do n''t you?"
21255Do ye hobble?
21255Do you think so, Harold? 21255 Doctor,"said Jack, as the physician was leaving,"what are the chances?"
21255Does he go when he gets through?
21255Ever been East-- Chicago, Washington?
21255For the how- many?
21255From old Delmar, eh? 21255 Gone to town; anything I can do for you?
21255Had n''t I better just keep right on riding?
21255Hain''t you got no other name?
21255Harold, do n''t you know me?
21255Harry----Mose made a swift sign,"Old man, how are ye?"
21255Have n''t you any folks?
21255Have you heard of the faction which is growing up in the church against me?
21255Have you seen him meanwhile? 21255 Have you?
21255He''ll round the big circle one o''these days-- and when he does he''ll find us all waiting, wo n''t he, pet?
21255He''s over on the head water of the South Fork, ai n''t he?
21255Hello, boy, what''s up?
21255How about that, boys?
21255How can I find him? 21255 How d''e do, gentlemen?"
21255How far do you call it to Wagon Wheel?
21255How is he-- is there any hope?
21255How long are you going to be gone this time?
21255How will you live?
21255How''d they feed ye back there?
21255How''s that?
21255Howdy, Mose?
21255Howdy, stranger?
21255I am here, Harold, do n''t you see me?
21255I claim the right to be heard; will the Court refuse me the privilege of a word?
21255I declare,said Mr. Burns,"you look like a fightin''cock; must feed you well down there?"
21255I guess we''d better send word up the river, had n''t we?
21255I know that, Dan; but how about this young feller?
21255I need that hundred dollars; nail it to a post for a few minutes, will ye?
21255I suppose the newspapers have greatly exaggerated about your conflicts?
21255I suppose you are from her country home?
21255I''m all right, how are you?
21255I''ve got a big cattle ranch-- will you superintend it for me?
21255If you wanted to find a party in this town how would you go at it?
21255Is Mr. Reynolds at home?
21255Is his wind all right?
21255Is she married? 21255 Is that true, Harold?"
21255Is the jury ready to report on the case of the State_ vs._ Excell?
21255Is there a girl named Mary Yardwell in your school?
21255Is this the worst room you have? 21255 Kin ye rope?"
21255Know anything about mining?
21255May I see you again before we go?
21255Miss Yardwell, may I speak with you a moment?
21255Miss Yardwell? 21255 Moses what?"
21255Now,said Mose,"is it war or peace?"
21255Of use? 21255 Oh, he will, will he?"
21255Old man, how are you?
21255Pack him? 21255 Same old story, is n''t it?
21255Say, what''s your name?
21255See here, Mary, what do you think of this?
21255See here-- going to take all the prizes?
21255Stranger, where you from?
21255Stranger, you''re a little the swiftest man I''ve met since harvest; would you mind telling me your name?
21255That big book?
21255That girl over there?
21255That so, Mam? 21255 The old man looks pretty well run down, do n''t he?"
21255Then what?
21255This is not''Rocky Mountain Kelly''?
21255This wind will mighty soon take the white out o''me, wo n''t it?
21255Want to go?
21255Well, Mose, I reckon you''re goin''for good?
21255Well, just as you say, but you must eat with me to- night, will you? 21255 Well, what do you want of me?"
21255What are you doing with that mule?
21255What did she say?
21255What did you say about hittin''the trail, Mose?
21255What do you mean by that? 21255 What do you mean?"
21255What do you mean?
21255What do you want o''me?
21255What do you want to know for?
21255What fur do you want to go to Chicago, Mose? 21255 What have you been doing all these years?"
21255What have you been doing up there?
21255What is that?
21255What is the cost of a telegram to Marmion, Iowa?
21255What is the matter?
21255What luck? 21255 What made you say that to him?"
21255What makes you say that, Harold? 21255 What shall I do?
21255What time is it?
21255What was it?
21255What was it?
21255What will he do? 21255 What''ll_ we_ do?"
21255What''s that?
21255What''s the good of it? 21255 What''s the good of seein''so much?"
21255What''s the matter with''em?
21255What''s the matter-- jim- jams?
21255What''s up, Dad?
21255What''s your little game here?
21255When does it come off?
21255When you sing that song, think of me, sometimes, will you?
21255Where could I try this directory?
21255Where does she live?
21255Where is Williams?
21255Where is it?
21255Where ye aimin''at now, if it''s a fair question?
21255Where''d you find the red whiskers?
21255Where''s the telegraph office?
21255Where''s your house?
21255Where?
21255Which one you want?
21255Who is Jack?
21255Who is she? 21255 Who is she?
21255Who will stand by me now?
21255Who''s Mary?
21255Who''s the next ambitious man?
21255Why ca n''t he act like a man? 21255 Why did he strike you with the whip?"
21255Why did n''t she write to me? 21255 Why did n''t you get my letter sooner?"
21255Why do n''t_ you_ ride him?
21255Why so, Mose?
21255Why wo n''t you let me help you?
21255Why, my dear boy, where have you been?
21255Why?
21255Will you loan me one of your bronchos?
21255Will you promise that?
21255Wo n''t you sing for us, Mary?
21255Would n''t know that horse was twelve years old, would you, gentlemen?
21255You aind seek alretty?
21255You are wasting your life out there in the wild country-- oh, is n''t it strange that we should sit here? 21255 You mean cowboy?"
21255You want a square- toed answer?
21255You''ll come''round once in a while, wo n''t ye?
21255You''re not used to towns?
21255You''re terrible cute, ai n''t you?
21255You''ve got a ring on your finger-- is that from the minister?
21255You''ve taken a hand in_ some_ of these things-- raids-- haven''t you?
21255A dozen times a day he said to himself:"Am I a coward?"
21255A man with a big red beard came up to Mose as he rode off the track and said:"What''ll you take for that horse?"
21255After supper was over Reynolds said:"Are you too tired to ride over to the ranch?"
21255Ai n''t that their way, Hank?"
21255Am I right?"
21255Any objection?"
21255Any p''ticlers?"
21255As he straightened up he turned to the waiting ones and said:"Do you see that gap in the range?"
21255Bill seized him by the collar and said:"You want''o fight?"
21255But how are we to meet father?
21255But wo n''t you get in and go down to dinner with me?
21255Ca n''t he be moved now?"
21255Ca n''t you come and see me once more?
21255Can that be true?
21255Can you go out to- morrow morning?"
21255Can you tell me which- a- way is Bob Reynolds''ranch?"
21255Come now, what do you say?"
21255Could I be of use?"
21255Could it be a herd of buffalo?
21255Did he carry deadly weapons?
21255Did he have extra horses?"
21255Did you have anything to do with killing Brownlow''s dog?"
21255Did you know my son there?"
21255Do n''t you find this so?
21255Do you know her?
21255Do you_ know_ that Slocum brought a girl''s name into this?"
21255Does being''under indictment''mean that you are in danger of arrest?
21255Does he eat here?"
21255Does she dance?"
21255Does she go to church?
21255Does she go to parties?
21255Does she live in Chicago?"
21255Does that book tell where everybody lives?"
21255Does the V. T. outfit know it?"
21255For a moment all was silent, then a voice called,"What''s all this, Haney?"
21255Harold was about to be led away when his father came to him and said:"Harold, would you like to have your mother and me go to dinner with you?"
21255Have you seen her?"
21255He could get along very well without a father; why could not his father get along without him?
21255He heard one girl say to another,"Yes-- but he''s awful sad looking, do n''t you think so?"
21255He looked up over his shoulder and snarled out:"Well, what is it?
21255He loved to lead her into dense thickets and to look around and say:"There, is n''t this wild, though?
21255Her voice faltered a little as she said:"I wish you''d write to me and let me know how you are?"
21255Her voice was affectedly musical as she added:"Come and see me, wo n''t you?"
21255His girl was driving the cattle, but he said----""Girl?
21255How about it, Kelly?"
21255How are the folks?"
21255How can I manage it without doing her harm?"
21255How did you leave him?
21255How did you manage?"
21255How do they all make a livin''?"
21255How do you expect to live?"
21255How do you happen to be here?
21255How does she happen to be here?"
21255How is that for a name?
21255How will you do it?"
21255How will you like that?"
21255How would she receive him after so many years?
21255How would she seem to him now?
21255How''s my little Pink?"
21255How''s the feed there this year?"
21255I do n''t reckon he''s a cow hoss, is he?"
21255I had given up ever seeing you again----""You''re not married?"
21255I hope you do n''t drink?"
21255I need you-- now what do you say?"
21255I reckon this is Miss Jinnie-- she''s a right hearty girl, ai n''t she?
21255I said I''d wire, shall I?"
21255I think I''m doin''pretty good when I go two munce, do n''t you?"
21255I''m hungry as a coyote; can I eat?"
21255Is he at heart dangerous to his fellows?
21255Is she a good scholar?
21255Is that the one?"
21255McCleary turned to Harold, whom he knew only as"Hank,"and said:"Hank, you ai n''t sayin''a word; what''re your plans?"
21255Mebbe you''d like a biscuit?"
21255Mose felt the waiting presence of the clerk and said:"Can I set down here and think it over?"
21255Mrs. Raimon waited until Harold''s eyes closed like a sleepy child''s and the watcher arose-- then she drew near and timidly asked:"Are you Mary?"
21255My boy, do you know me?"
21255Not such an awful den after all, is it?"
21255Now how is a man going to find that street?"
21255Now is n''t that so?"
21255Once, as he lay with his head in the grass, he suddenly said:"Ca n''t you hear the Colorado roar?"
21255One day a couple of whisky- heated cowboys rode furiously up behind Mose and called out:"Where in h-- l ye think ye''re goin'', you dam cow milker?"
21255Sawyer?"
21255See here, why not let me help you get a start; what do you say?"
21255Shall I tell Aunt Lida?"
21255She leaned from her carriage and called:"What''s that I hear, marshal, about your getting shot?"
21255She looked at him once and then at the clerk as if to say,"Is this the man?"
21255She was filled with a new terror:"What do you mean?
21255Suppose I_ am_ to be shot this fall, what of it?"
21255The drunken man was calling somewhere in the crowd,"Where is he?
21255The father went on:"Tell me, my boy-- tell me the truth-- did you strike to kill?
21255The riders remained studiously polite in their inquiries:"Where ye from, stranger?"
21255The wind was sweeping over the trees, and Maud, eager to keep him in this gentle mood, cried:"I hear it; it is a wonderful river, is n''t it?"
21255The young man''s smile became a chuckle as he saw these things, and he said to himself:"Nothing here to identify him, eh?"
21255Then she said with an attempt to be careless,"Have you a picture of this girl?
21255Then she said,''Was he at church to- day?''
21255This article raked up a whole lot of stuff about you-- said you were the son of a preacher-- is that so?"
21255Turning to Mose,"Where did it happen?"
21255Want''o wash?"
21255Was murder in your heart?"
21255Well, say, where have you been raised?"
21255What I started to say is this: I''m mighty much obliged for what you''ve done for me here-- but I''m going to pull out to- night----""Not for good?"
21255What became of King?
21255What do you know about him?"
21255What do you mean?"
21255What do you mean?"
21255What do you want?"
21255What have you been doing since?
21255What is a man to do when it''s kill or be killed?
21255What kind of a girl?"
21255What say?"
21255What was the use?
21255What''s his name?"
21255What''s this?"
21255What''s your name, sonny?"
21255When I get out o''this I strike for the West, do n''t you see?
21255When do you want it?"
21255When does he go back?"
21255Where are they all goin''?
21255Where do you come from?"
21255Where does she live?
21255Where ye from?"
21255Where you from?"
21255Who could that dark, handsome young man be who held Miss Yardwell with his glittering eyes?
21255Who is he?"
21255Who''s that girl I saw you talking with to- day?
21255Why did n''t she come to see me?"
21255Why did you turn him loose?"
21255Why should this woman, or any woman, stare at him like that?
21255Why?
21255Why?
21255Will you accept?"
21255Will you come for a single day?"
21255Will you do that?"
21255Will you go back to the mountains with me this time?"
21255Wo n''t you tell me who you are?"
21255You could n''t find your way out if it was n''t for me, could you?"
21255You know Delmar?"
21255You know what I mean?
21255You see, they ca n''t hang me for stabbing that coward, but they''ll shut me up for a year or two, and I''ve got to keep healthy, do n''t you see?
21255Your father went to Denver from here-- have you heard from him?"
21255do ye know Tom?
21255how goes it?"
21255said Mose,"ca n''t they let me alone?
21255she cried;"are_ you_ that terrible man?"
21255you have no certain knowledge, I reckon, whether you killed your man or not?"
19055Ai n''t he the lad? 19055 Ai n''t it reason enough that I want you to go?
19055Ai n''t trying to back out, are you?
19055Ai n''t you? 19055 All of them?"
19055Am I a barbarian? 19055 Am I a fool, señor?"
19055Am I to follow the star right up the hill?
19055And a boy named Pheelip Seymour?
19055And her other friends?
19055And my friends?
19055And that is?
19055And why so much care to save me trouble?
19055And you say Pasquale has been with her all day-- that he ate lunch with her and is riding with her now?
19055And you''ll be along later, will you?
19055And-- Pasquale?
19055Any of your damned business, is it?
19055Anybody come into the hotel the last thirty minutes?
19055Are we prisoners? 19055 Are you a spy in the sense that you were in the employ of the enemies of General Pasquale and his armies?"
19055Are you always so-- so impetuous? 19055 Are you going to take me, too?"
19055Are you ready to take a long journey, Señor Yeager?
19055But what are you doing here? 19055 But what are you going to do, Steve?
19055But would he? 19055 But, señor, Your Excellency, how did this Gringo devil, who was unarmed, take away your revolver and tie you?"
19055But-- what for, señor?
19055But-- what for?
19055Ca n''t you do anything for the little girl? 19055 Ca n''t you run?"
19055Can I see you alone, Miss Ruth?
19055Can I stop it?
19055Can it be-- the general?
19055Can you beat it?
19055Can you?
19055Cards?
19055Care to put the gloves on with me some time, Yeager?
19055Did I kill him? 19055 Did it strike you he was a leetle too sleepy at first and just a leetle too quick to get that chip on his shoulder?"
19055Did n''t hear me ask for more, did you? 19055 Did the general say what horses?"
19055Did the rest get away?
19055Did you hear? 19055 Did you say that three of them were Mexicans?"
19055Did you think all Mexicans were like Pasquale? 19055 Did you-- What about him?"
19055Did you-- know any of them?
19055Do I win?
19055Do I? 19055 Do n''t want some more of the same?"
19055Do n''t you reckon mebbe I could get a ham sandwich too?
19055Do n''t you think he''s bluffing? 19055 Do you want to earn some money-- ten-- twenty-- one hundred dollars in gold?
19055Do you want to make some money, you-- what''s your name?
19055Do you... do you think I killed him?
19055Escape? 19055 Ever see anybody quicker on his feet?
19055Ever see such rotten luck? 19055 Everything fixed for to- night?"
19055Fine glad day, ai n''t it?
19055For what?
19055Get fired?
19055Go with you-- now? 19055 Going to eat him alive, are you?"
19055Gold?
19055Got an answer yet from Arixico?
19055Got anything to say out loud, young fella?
19055Got time to hear all about it, captain?
19055Had enough?
19055Had n''t I better go along with you in case of trouble?
19055Has Ruth been here ever since she came down with Harrison that time he lied to her about you being wounded?
19055Have you seen Mr. Threewit yet?
19055He did n''t do a thing to you, did he?
19055He is better, then?
19055How about it, general? 19055 How about your Spanish?
19055How could I? 19055 How do I know what every buzzard- head''s got in his cocoanut?"
19055How do I know you would keep faith, that you would not ride away-- what you call laugh in your sleeve at me? 19055 How is it that you have let your prisoner escape?"
19055How long am I to wait for you?
19055How much will you give for your life?
19055How much you play back, Pheelip?
19055How should I know? 19055 How you feeling, young fella?"
19055How''ll he fix it?
19055I''m right likely to have it, do n''t you think?
19055I''m to be massa- creed to make a Roman holiday, am I? 19055 If I pull it off and make my getaway-- what then?
19055If you''re dead keen on a mix- up, Harrison, why not come over to the studio where I can get the best light? 19055 In the army?
19055Including Miss Seymour?
19055Is it likely I''d go without you? 19055 Is it so you talk to my friends in my own house, Señor Harrison?"
19055Is it that I must put up with the insolence of this scoundrel, general?
19055Is it true-- what Mr. Manderson says-- that you are going back to Noche Buena?
19055Is it you, Steve?
19055Is n''t it true that you were shot?
19055Is she?
19055It stands,assented Ramon; and turned to Ochampa:"Have you agreed on a price for that bunch of cattle with the Flying D rustlers, major?"
19055It_ is_ you, is n''t it? 19055 Know any military tactics?"
19055Know where I put up?
19055Know who he is? 19055 Lay hands on a lady, will you?"
19055May I talk with him, general?
19055Me? 19055 Meaning anything particular?"
19055Meaning, señor?
19055Need I name the Bolivar, the Washington of Mexico, the next president of this great republic? 19055 Need I put a name to this patriot and hero who has won the unbounded love and loyalty of my youth?"
19055Nobody else?
19055None at all?
19055Now you got a strangle holt on me, what you aim to do?
19055Now, what in hell did I take on this Yeager rube for? 19055 Oh, why did you do it?"
19055Pasquale dead-- and shot by an American?
19055Promising them mescal, eh?
19055Quien sabe, señor? 19055 Quite a Sherlock Holmes, are n''t you?"
19055Ready, Ruth?
19055Say, Steve, what about Threewit and Farrar? 19055 Say, do I look like I was born yesterday?
19055So you knew me?
19055So, señor? 19055 So?
19055Sounds like a plausible story, does n''t it?
19055Still got that notion about Harrison?
19055Sure your dope is strong enough?
19055That any reason why you should wake me in the middle of the night? 19055 That you''re going to leave?
19055That''s your opinion, is it?
19055The Lunar Film Company? 19055 The order stands, general?
19055The other boys hitting the dust for the ranch?
19055The others were-- both big men, did n''t you say?
19055Then it was the Gringo?
19055Then why did you bring her here?
19055Then you do n''t think it''s worth trying?
19055Then you refuse?
19055Then you_ are_ Phil Seymour?
19055Think so?
19055Think you can ride this one, mebbe?
19055Think you''re darned clever, do n''t you? 19055 This afternoon?"
19055Through with me, are you? 19055 Told you I''d git even a- plenty, did n''t I?"
19055Want I should start right away?
19055Want to beat me up, Chad?
19055Well, what is it to be? 19055 Well, what?"
19055Well?
19055Well?
19055What about her?
19055What about it, Miss Ruth?
19055What are you doing here?
19055What are you doing here?
19055What are you, then? 19055 What can I do?
19055What can I do?
19055What can you do if you get into Pasquale''s camp as one of his men?
19055What could I mean?
19055What d''you know about this? 19055 What d''you mean by that?"
19055What devil has done this outrage?
19055What did he do to you?
19055What did he say?
19055What did you do that for?
19055What difference does it make? 19055 What do you mean you thought of me?"
19055What do you suppose he is planning?
19055What do you want, my anxious friend?
19055What do you want?
19055What do you want?
19055What for?
19055What for?
19055What good will it do for you to go and get trapped too? 19055 What has he done now?"
19055What has she got to do with Harrison?
19055What have I come to spy about, Harrison?
19055What if some one talks to me? 19055 What is it you will tell Pasquale?"
19055What is it, Steve? 19055 What is it?"
19055What is it?
19055What is this? 19055 What journey?
19055What''s eatin''you? 19055 What''s he doing here?"
19055What''s her mother thinking about?
19055What''s that got to do with it? 19055 What''s that?
19055What''s that? 19055 What''s the matter with you all?
19055What''s the matter?
19055What''s the programme?
19055What''s the row?
19055What''s this I hear about you committing suicide?
19055What''s this they''re telling about Ruth and Harrison?
19055What''s your name?
19055What? 19055 Where are you going to hide?
19055Where did you come from, Steve Yeager?
19055Where from? 19055 Where you been working?"
19055Where you from? 19055 Which one of us?"
19055Who goes?
19055Who in Mexico is this Pasquale?
19055Who is it?
19055Who paid you to murder Culvera and Mendoza-- not Farrugia, surely?
19055Who told you?
19055Why ca n''t I go for a ride with the man to whom I''m engaged? 19055 Why did n''t you cry out?"
19055Why did n''t you say for Pasquale?
19055Why do men fight like that? 19055 Why do men-- do such things?"
19055Why does the general always do what is n''t expected? 19055 Why have you come?"
19055Why should Pasquale want the death of his friend, his lieutenant, the man who was closest to him among all his followers?
19055Why, how could I, seeing he was masked? 19055 Why?
19055Will you have it here or back of the garage?
19055Will you take a seat, general? 19055 With you?
19055Wo n''t the bulls pinch us if we do a roughhouse here?
19055Would it do any good? 19055 Would you kill Ramon Culvera-- to save your own life?"
19055Would you know him again if you saw him?
19055Yes, but-- What are you going to do, Steve?
19055Yes? 19055 Yes?"
19055You been wrastling with a circular saw?
19055You can register a roar, ca n''t you?
19055You do n''t really think Pasquale will hurt us, do you?
19055You do n''t think even Pasquale would dare hurt them, do you?
19055You in this, Mr. Farrar? 19055 You mean-- that he had friends, that some one helped him to get away?"
19055You mean--?
19055You mean--?
19055You obey orders fine, do n''t you?
19055You shot Mendoza, eh?
19055You were both employed by the enemy to murder him and Culvera-- not so?
19055You''ll stand pat on that, will you?
19055You''re going to rig up as a Mexican?
19055You''re not going to hurt him, Steve?
19055You''re not really going down there to shove your head into that den of wolves, are you?
19055You''ve got all to- morrow to see me in, have n''t you?
19055You-- hit him first, did n''t you?
19055Your wound-- does it greatly trouble you, señor?
19055_ You_ do n''t deny it, do you, general?
19055A kind lover?
19055A spy?"
19055Ai n''t Harrison the boss eat- em- alive white hope that ever turkey- trotted down the pike?"
19055Ai n''t this far enough off the map?
19055All that listens fine to me, but-- what are the conditions?"
19055Am I a fool that I do not know?"
19055Am I not generous?
19055Am I one to be laughed at by Gringos?"
19055And Ruth-- would she flash at him her swift dimpled smile of pleasure?
19055And Steve-- where would he be?
19055And swift on the heels of that,"Is it about Phil?"
19055And what about Ruth?
19055And, above all, what of Ruth?
19055Are you afraid?"
19055Are you mad?"
19055Are you telling me that I can walk out of that door, climb into a saddle, and keep going till I get back into old Arizona?"
19055At sunset?"
19055But I reckon you''re tired, ai n''t you?"
19055But what about his friends?
19055But what if Girard insisted on seeing the execution?
19055But what kind of an offer?
19055But what were a dozen riders among these thousand hill pockets of the desert?
19055But-- what of her future?
19055Ca n''t you see he''s been leading Phil into deviltry?
19055Can I tell when the knife will fall on me?
19055Can it be done without taking too many chances?"
19055Can you get back by to- morrow night?"
19055Can you get on alone?"
19055Can you give me a commission?"
19055Can you ride a bucker?"
19055Could it be that Pasquale was anticipating his treachery?
19055Could this be the man she had left but half an hour since so full of vital strength and youth?
19055Dare he?"
19055Did he not crawl up on me unexpect''and strike me here with an axe?"
19055Did he seem to you healthy last time you saw him?"
19055Did n''t I tell you I''d make you sick of what you did to me, Threewit?
19055Did n''t he, Threewit?"
19055Did the boy mean that it was among them that Harrison had friends?
19055Did you have a pleasant night?"
19055Did you see the show?"
19055Did yours?"
19055Director?"
19055Do I get a pass to Kingdom Come-- because I stood by a half- grown kid when two blacklegs were robbing him?"
19055Do I not live under the shadow myself?
19055Do n''t your friends count with you at all?"
19055Do you know a man named Harrison, señor?"
19055Do you know?"
19055Do you not hear him move?"
19055Do you think me another Pasquale?
19055Do you want to fight?"
19055Does that satisfy you, captain?"
19055Eh, señor?"
19055Escaped, did you say?
19055Fie, what a word among friends?
19055Get that?
19055Going to shoot me down like a coyote?"
19055Gone where?"
19055Got to pull together, have n''t we?"
19055Got your location picked, Farrar?"
19055Had Holcomb an ace up his sleeve?
19055Had he got homesick?
19055Had he run out of money already?
19055Had he saved this fine young fellow to be the plaything of old Pasquale''s vengeance?
19055Had the old general freed him for some purpose of his own?
19055Had there been the slightest emphasis on that part of the sentence?
19055Had they all escaped from a madhouse?
19055Harrison ca n''t fix murder, can he?"
19055Has Yarnell got''em rounded up?"
19055Has he been here?"
19055Has this hellish thing got to go through?"
19055Have I not already told you the truth?"
19055Have they hit you?"
19055Have you got the nerve to do it?"
19055He was asking for it, was n''t he?"
19055How did Harrison trap you?"
19055How did you ever get your hair so slick and black?"
19055How far would you go to earn that much?"
19055How had he discovered already that an American was to be shot?
19055How had this man escaped?
19055How is he going to get out of here?"
19055How is the wounded leg?"
19055How is_ your_ leg, major?"
19055How much do you weigh?"
19055How''s that?"
19055I know my plans, do n''t I?
19055I need you-- and what''s the sense of waiting, anyhow?"
19055If I can prove to you that I stand a good chance to pull it off down at Noche Buena, will you feel different about it?"
19055If so, what could it be?
19055If you are a liberator, as they say you are, you wo n''t let him force me to it, general, will you?"
19055If you could get at him?
19055In my time--""If Chad does n''t object, why should you?"
19055Is Gabriel Pasquale not good enough for a kitchen wench from Arizona?"
19055Is he-- is he as bad as he says?"
19055Is his punishment not just?"
19055Is it good enough to pass muster?"
19055Is it not enough?"
19055Is it not so, major?"
19055Is it not so?"
19055Is it not so?"
19055Is it that they are to my address, Señor Harrison?"
19055Is it that you think me a peddler instead of a gentleman?"
19055Is that it?
19055Is that what you mean?"
19055Is that what you mean?"
19055Is that what you mean?"
19055Is the lady some high- born señorita?"
19055Just because you and Harrison are at outs--""Have I made any charges against him?
19055Just what was he to do?
19055Know anything about him, general?"
19055Know you not the orders of the general?
19055Little girl, little girl, how am I ever going to tell you how much I love you?"
19055May I offer you my own quarters for the present till arrangements can be made?"
19055Mind if we talk here, Harrison?"
19055Not so?
19055Not so?
19055Not so?"
19055Not so?"
19055Not so?"
19055Not so?"
19055Not so?"
19055Not so?"
19055Not so?"
19055Notice how he tried to put it over that we had come about that bunch of cattle he stole?"
19055Or was he an agent of the Huerta Government?
19055Or was he, Steve Yeager, in a pipe- dream?
19055Or was it some one getting ready for the pursuit?
19055Or would prudence stay his hand after he had executed the chief offender?
19055Or would she still be harboring malice toward him for having warned her against Harrison?
19055Perhaps-- who knows?"
19055Quien sabe?
19055Quien sabe?"
19055Sabe?"
19055Say, were you ever in New York?"
19055Say, what do they hold you up for at this hacienda?"
19055Say, you Rip Van Winkle, think we came out here for the ozone?"
19055See any green in my eye, Cactus Center?"
19055See that sparkler on her finger?
19055See?
19055See?"
19055See?"
19055See?"
19055Señor, do you love Ramon like a brother?"
19055Shall I send you the padre?"
19055Should he stand pat on his straight or discard the heart and draw to his straight flush?
19055Since when had the old despot become so scrupulous as to risk offending one who had served him a good deal and might aid him in more serious matters?
19055Some folks find it better to drift out, casual- like, y''understand?"
19055Some kick to that song, was n''t there?"
19055Steve, sitting on the corral fence with Jackson and Orman, two other riders for the company, called across cheerfully,--"Not hurt, are you?"
19055That''s it, eh?"
19055That''s the game, is it?"
19055The same one that Holcomb took?"
19055Then, in a lower voice, with a sudden gravity:"Is it Harrison, Steve?"
19055Then, with quick surprise,"Where''s Holcomb?"
19055They were masked, you say?"
19055Threewit?"
19055Too late to mend, but then have we not shot the foolish peon who made the mistake in regard to Señors Farrar and Threewit?
19055Understand?"
19055Understand?"
19055Understand?"
19055Want to stake me?"
19055Was Captain Holcomb giving him a message?
19055Was I not kind?"
19055Was he to run the risk of a shot?
19055Was it Phil?
19055Was it his turn now?
19055Was it worth while denying it?
19055Was n''t that enough without me paying him good money to spoil more?
19055Was the man tied up with old Pasquale?
19055Was there the faintest flitter of relief on the lowering face?
19055Was this the beginning of a massacre?
19055We ca n''t lie down and quit on them, can we?
19055We''re old friends, then, are n''t we?"
19055Were n''t you in Sonora?"
19055Were you in on this with Harrison?"
19055What are you doing here?
19055What could her mother be thinking of to allow such a wanton sacrifice?
19055What could one man do against so many?
19055What d''you mean, cow country?
19055What d''you want, anyhow?
19055What did his appearance now mean?
19055What do you mean, Chad?"
19055What do you reckon I bought chips in this game for?
19055What do you take me for?"
19055What else could I do?
19055What if he asked to see Yeager?
19055What is it that''s wrong?"
19055What is it you want me to do?"
19055What is that, Threewit?"
19055What of Threewit and Farrar?
19055What was he doing back so soon?
19055What was to follow?
19055What will you?"
19055What would the Mexican chief do to two of the range- rider''s friends who delivered themselves into his hands so opportunely?
19055What you got?"
19055What''s she got to do with it?
19055What''s the use of bearing a grudge?"
19055What''s to pay?"
19055What''s wrong with it?
19055What, then, señor?"
19055When are you going to do all this proving?"
19055When you want to pull it off?"
19055Where do you live?"
19055Where shall we look for this girl and those with her?"
19055Where to?"
19055Where?"
19055Who do you want to take with you?"
19055Who else could it be?"
19055Who is this man?"
19055Who knows you?"
19055Who knows?
19055Who knows?
19055Who laughs now?"
19055Who was the American woman he had brought back with him?
19055Who were these men they were assailing?
19055Who, then, if not Farrugia?"
19055Why did n''t I think of that?
19055Why did n''t you tell him you were sorry?
19055Why do n''t you strike and be done with it?"
19055Why do n''t you take a chance?"
19055Why had he been fool enough to boast to the old scoundrel what he would do?
19055Why had the troopers fallen back so far?
19055Why have n''t we been using you up stage in the Mexican sets?
19055Why hesitate?"
19055Why must you go?
19055Why not meet them as they alight?"
19055Why not take the alibi Yeager so conveniently offered him?
19055Why not use him as a pawn in the game to win the approval of the big Republic to the north?
19055Why was Pasquale so anxious to put a wide space between himself and his prisoner?
19055Why was it that men must be so?
19055Why, in the devil''s name, since he is going to be married in the morning?"
19055Why?
19055Why?"
19055Will you send the girl to me, wherever I am?"
19055Will you take a letter for me to Los Robles?"
19055Would Culvera think it necessary to extend his vengeance to them?
19055Would his wares turn out to be mescal or vegetables or perhaps a leggy steer that he had butchered?
19055Would it be best, do you think, to arrange an accident for them while on the way back to Arizona?"
19055Would it be doing that to let you stay up''most all night?"
19055Would n''t it give you a jolt that a nice little girl like her would take up with a stiff like Harrison?"
19055Would she throw him over now after she heard the story of the cowpuncher?
19055You do n''t make war on girls, do you?"
19055You going to let him put this wedding farce over without a kick?"
19055You know Steve, do n''t you?
19055You may deny it, but--""Why_ should_ I deny it?"
19055You out taking the air?"
19055You will join us; not so?"
19055You will pardon, is it not so, and do me the honor to dine with me before you leave?"
19055_ Would you go as far as the camp of Garcia Farrugia?_"The close- gripped, salient jaw was thrust forward.
19055again?"
19055dead?"
19055what chance have we got?
12189''I ca n''t, eh?'' 12189 A lady friend, eh?
12189About how much land?
12189Ai n''t you feelin''well?
12189Alice who, did you say?
12189And did you see that the paper says men are volunteering to go to France? 12189 And he trailed back to where Jim went down, eh?
12189And if I happened to be around?
12189And is that why you left him?
12189And now you will let me go?
12189And now, Jim, what''s the row?
12189And that boy trailing with you?
12189And you have the nerve to tell me that you framed up all that stuff to get my sympathy? 12189 And you, you old trail- hitter,"he said to Gray Leg,"I reckon you think you''re some ladies''man, do n''t you?
12189And you?
12189Any of the boys coming in with Jasper?
12189Any word for the Ortez people?
12189Are n''t you worried about him?
12189Are you afraid of him, Juan?
12189Are you anxious to be off?
12189Are you sure Adams did it, Buck?
12189Author?
12189Because he''s enforcing the law and trying to keep the flag from being insulted by whelps like you, eh?
12189Buck tell you to ask me that?
12189But how is he goin''to find that out?
12189But just one turkey?
12189But we must do our share, if only to keep our self- respect, must n''t we?
12189But what can I do? 12189 But what can anybody do about it?"
12189But what evidence you got that Jim Waring killed Bob Brewster and his brother Tony?
12189But why did you risk it?
12189But why?
12189By whose authority?
12189Ca n''t you give me a letter to Buck, explainin''things?
12189Can and crackers, eh? 12189 Can you read?"
12189Cattle, eh? 12189 Could n''t he help you here?"
12189Could you get a letter from your last employer?
12189Dex,he said softly, riding alongside,"where is the Señor Jim?"
12189Did Hardy ride after you?
12189Did I hear a piano this morning, or did I dream that I heard some one playing?
12189Did I?
12189Did Jim say when he would ride in?
12189Did he give it to you? 12189 Did he really give the turkey to us?"
12189Did he? 12189 Did n''t he?"
12189Did n''t you ever hear that song about Waring of Sonora- Town? 12189 Did they send you over to push that bluff-- or are you talkin''straight?"
12189Did you ever see it before?
12189Did you just get wise to that?
12189Did you know where it was yesterday?
12189Did you land''em?
12189Did you tell him about our horses? 12189 Do n''t we get a look- in?"
12189Do you call her''Dorothy''?
12189Do you drink?
12189Do you ever pay compliments to yourself when you are combing your hair or tying your scarf?
12189Do you know Bud Shoop?
12189Do you know anything about it?
12189Do you know the tune?
12189Do you like him?
12189Do you mind if I look over the horses in your corral?
12189Do you really care for Lorry, Peter Pan?
12189Do you think Adams would have had it out with him?
12189Does it really hurt?
12189Ever read any of that fella''s books?
12189Getting too hot?
12189Git tired of it?
12189Got a headache?
12189Got a minute to spare, Torrance?
12189Got another gun on you?
12189Got to have a card to travel with a lousy bunch like you, eh?
12189Got your reports all in?
12189Had a good look at the sun this mornin''?
12189Had anything to eat?
12189Happy? 12189 Hardy?
12189Has n''t he?
12189Has the game gone stale, Jim?
12189Has your horse had water?
12189Have you any music that you would like?
12189Have you any recommendations?
12189Have you been reading this winter?
12189Have you found the Señor Pat?
12189He did, eh? 12189 He did, eh?
12189He does, eh? 12189 He took your horse?"
12189He would go to his father--"Uh- uh?
12189He''s really just delicious, is n''t he?
12189He''s your boss?
12189Hear anything by wire?
12189Him? 12189 Him?
12189Honest?
12189How about a raise of twenty- five a month, then?
12189How about a try from the saddle?
12189How about that?
12189How about those goats in your own corral?
12189How are things down in Sonora?
12189How did you like that piece?
12189How do you figure that?
12189How do you know that he was a young man?
12189How do you know that?
12189How do you know?
12189How far behind?
12189How far?
12189How much did Bob Brewster give you for this work?
12189How much you reckon your life''s worth?
12189How much?
12189How''s Jim?
12189How''s the Weston folks?
12189How''s things over to your town?
12189Hurtin''you much?
12189I reckon you''ll let me keep that?
12189I think Mr. Waring is a right good- lookin''man, do n''t you?
12189I was to wait until you was out with the fence gang--"How did you know I would be out with them?
12189I wonder just how you feel?
12189I''ve met you before, have n''t I?
12189I-- shall we get ready for dinner?
12189I-- you wo n''t say that I spoke of Lorry?
12189I?
12189Is Adams gone?
12189Is he dead?
12189Is it a good watch?
12189Is it all right?
12189Is n''t it strange,said Dorothy,"that I could n''t talk with father like this?
12189Is n''t that risky?
12189Is n''t, eh? 12189 It''s really too warm even to speak of''The Little Fires,''is n''t it?
12189José Vaca is wounded?
12189Just what started you to workin''this holdup game?
12189Kind of a complimentary cuss, ai n''t he?
12189Know anything about the Service?
12189Let''s go take a smoke, eh?
12189Lorry is not come?
12189Lorry, we''re great friends, are n''t we?
12189Lorry, what is the matter? 12189 Lungs?"
12189Me? 12189 Meanin''I stand to lose it, eh?"
12189Meanin''me?
12189Mr. Adams thinks quite a lot of his horses, does n''t he?
12189My chance, señor?
12189My gun?
12189Not a bit like Dorothy?
12189Now, how would I say it if John were here? 12189 Of course we may have the exclusive use of the bath?"
12189On who?
12189Or is it one of those headaches that is always going to hurt, but never does?
12189Outshoot me? 12189 Really?
12189Really? 12189 Really?"
12189Reckon I better go in first, Annie?
12189Right here on our mesa?
12189Roll one?
12189Say, now, Buck, ai n''t you kind of crowdin''me into the fence?
12189Seen who? 12189 Smoke?"
12189So I''ll set and talk my fool notions-- and you with a writin''machine handy? 12189 So soon?
12189So that''s your game, eh? 12189 So they shipped their horses ahead to cut me off, eh?
12189So you pinched Jim''s gun, eh? 12189 So you were at Sterling?"
12189So?
12189Socialism? 12189 Somebody dead?"
12189Speakin''in general, could he beat you to it with a gun, Pat?
12189Speakin''in general, how much do you owe the town so far?
12189Stanley, did I deposit a thousand dollars in gold to the credit of the Ortez Mine this afternoon?
12189Strange blankets, eh?
12189Talking to a woman old enough to be your mother?
12189The Adams House for sale? 12189 The others?
12189The señora?
12189The''Little Fires''? 12189 Then how did you know this paper was from the sheriff''s office?"
12189Then suppose I do the talkin''?
12189Then why do you go? 12189 Then you have seen him?"
12189Then you knew that his father was Jim Waring?
12189Then, what''s the answer?
12189Think I believe that?
12189This? 12189 To- day?"
12189Tryin''to kid me?
12189Two, eh? 12189 Waco, eh?
12189Waco? 12189 Want more pay?"
12189Want to meet Waring?
12189Want to trade horses?
12189Was he mean to you, mother?
12189Was he ridin''that horse?
12189Was n''t it silly of him?
12189Was the kid mixed up in your getaway?
12189Was you ever in politics?
12189Well, Bud, how are things up on the mesa?
12189Well, I guess the kid loses out, eh?
12189Well, it''s his own funeral, ai n''t it?
12189Well, who''d''a''kept you company, ma''am? 12189 Well?"
12189Were n''t you a little too nice to him at dinner?
12189Were you in it?
12189Were you lonesome?
12189Weston, you said?
12189What are you driving at, anyway?
12189What became of his horse?
12189What can I do for you?
12189What did I ever do to you?
12189What do you feed him?
12189What do you think your mother will say?
12189What do you think, Bud?
12189What do you want with him?
12189What do you want?
12189What does it mean?
12189What for?
12189What is it, Jim? 12189 What is it, Lorry?"
12189What is it, ranger man?
12189What is it?
12189What is it?
12189What is the joke?
12189What right had you to hold him?
12189What was you sayin''?
12189What was your idea in letting the man go after arresting him?
12189What you callin''yourself?
12189What you doin''in this town?
12189What you goin''to do about it, Buck?
12189What you goin''to do to- day?
12189What you got to say about my turnin''you loose?
12189What''s it to you? 12189 What''s that got to do with it?"
12189What''s the row, Stanley?
12189What''s your business with Jim Waring?
12189What''s your tally, kid?
12189When did you enroll as a policeman?
12189Where d''you eat?
12189Where did you find_ that?_asked Waring.
12189Where is Señor Jim?
12189Where is that money?
12189Where''d you steal that horse?
12189Where''s Lorry?
12189Where?
12189Who belongs to these kids?
12189Who pays you to shoot down women and kids?
12189Who said anybody sent me?
12189Who said he was here?
12189Who says I stole him?
12189Who sent you with a note to Pat last Wednesday?
12189Who sent you?
12189Who''s top- hand in this game?
12189Who''s your friend?
12189Who, me? 12189 Who?
12189Why did n''t you appeal to the sheriff?
12189Why did n''t you nail him?
12189Why did n''t you stay and tell what you knew? 12189 Why do n''t you tell Buck yourself?"
12189Why do you want to get into it?
12189Why not?
12189Why, Alice, what_ is_ the matter?
12189Why, did n''t we stop there for dinner?
12189Why, he told you to go ahead and win, did n''t he?
12189Why, he''s lookin''for Pat, ai n''t he?
12189Will Hardy follow it up?
12189Will he live at Lorry''s cabin?
12189Will the Señor Jim ride again?
12189Will you listen to what he says and what I say, and then say who is right?
12189With those hombres? 12189 Wo n''t those city folks be comin''in soon?"
12189Wo n''t you come in?
12189Wonder who them three fellas was?
12189Would you be playin''''Annie Laurie''for us?
12189Would you be wantin''me to come back?
12189Would you catch my pony for me?
12189Would you shake with a bum?
12189Yes, Annie?
12189You ai n''t strong on socialism, eh, Bud?
12189You aim to lock me in that calaboose?
12189You are driving overland?
12189You are going?
12189You do n''t mean_ me_?
12189You have your gun?
12189You joshin''me?
12189You mean immigrants?
12189You mean that he wo n''t be back at all?
12189You mean there ca n''t be cheap labor?
12189You mean-- to stay?
12189You say that young Ramon is straight?
12189You tryin''to pinch me?
12189You would n''t believe a hard- luck story, so what''s the use?
12189You''ll excuse us, wo n''t you? 12189 You''ll witness that we made this trade, John?"
12189You''re a cowboy?
12189You''re not so practical as you were, are you?
12189You''re pretty sore about it, are n''t you, Bud?
12189You, Jim?
12189You_ rode_ over?
12189''Ai n''t I good comp''ny?''
12189''Cause why?
12189''Mars''George,''he said with real solicitude in his voice,''is you sick?''
12189''That you, kid?''
12189''They did n''t get you?''
12189''Way up here?"
12189''We''re gettin''too old,''I tells Bondsman--""Ai n''t you goin''to let him in?"
12189''Would you mind shakin''hands with a bum?''
12189A little more gravy?
12189Accordin''to your jedgment, which is plumb solid, do I put Lorry to work over on the line this summer?"
12189Ai n''t you''shamed to fool your Uncle Bud?"
12189Am I right?"
12189And Lorry is really Laurence Waring?"
12189And could Lorry, who had such kind gray eyes and such a pleasant face, deliberately go out and kill men as his father had done?
12189And did he really care for her?
12189And had Mr. Waring heard that Pat had been killed?
12189And how about that horse?"
12189And now?
12189And speaking of turkeys--""Who was speaking of turkeys?"
12189And the señor has made a fight?"
12189And was n''t it about time for the stage to arrive?
12189And was this squalid victory a recompense for the risks he ran and the hardships he endured?
12189And we''ll show you the right kind of a flag--""Boys, are you going to stand for this kind of talk?"
12189And were they not now in the Land Where No Man Lived?
12189And where do you get off?
12189And why had he refused her invitation and accepted it again through Alice?
12189And would you mind asking this man Pete in to supper with us?"
12189And you said in the house of Pedro Salazar?"
12189And you will really let Bondsman decide?"
12189And you will, wo n''t you?"
12189Any mail the stage did n''t get?"
12189Anyhow, what difference does it make how old a lady is, if she is pretty?"
12189Anything else?"
12189Are n''t you?"
12189Are the roads good from here to the next town?"
12189Are you doing well here?"
12189Are you in trouble?"
12189Are you sure she is your kind of girl, Lorry?
12189Are you willin''to put in writin''that you seen High- Chin Bob kill Pat?
12189Are you willin''to stand by what he says?"
12189Boys,"he continued, turning to the strikers,"are you proud of this skunk who wants to burn your town?"
12189Bronson?
12189But ai n''t he hungry?"
12189But ai n''t it hard luck when a fella waits till he''s got to cross over afore he shows white?"
12189But ca n''t I even say''turkey''when I ask him to have some?"
12189But ca n''t you do something for him?"
12189But do n''t you admire him all the more for it?"
12189But how about my job if I ride back to Stacey with nothin''to show for the trip but my expense card?"
12189But supposin''I say I ai n''t got nothin''against him, and the folks over there wo n''t appear against him, how could you prove anything?"
12189But was there any glory in arresting such a man?
12189But what difference did that make?
12189But what do you think his_ mother_ would say to you if he-- well, if he got_ scalped_?"
12189But what good would that do?
12189But what if the man did escape?
12189But what makes you ask?"
12189But what''s that got to do with Lorry?"
12189But who downed that fella?
12189Ca n''t we be friends while I''m here?
12189Ca n''t you get some lady in town to run the place?"
12189Ca n''t you give him a good talking to and let him go?"
12189Ca n''t you see where I stand?
12189Can you tell me how her name is Adams and his''n is Waring?"
12189Catch onto that?"
12189Could a girl give what she had given and forget on the morrow?
12189Could it be possible that Bondsman had not recognized his own tune?
12189Could they have a real camp- fire and make coffee?
12189Could you spare him, if Jim finds he ca n''t get along alone?"
12189Did Lorry tell you?"
12189Did Mexico get too hot?"
12189Did Mr. Waring know of a likely foreman?
12189Did he ever sweat alongside of any of you doing a day''s work?
12189Did he imagine it, or had the rope moved?
12189Did he, then, believe such an obvious lie?
12189Did n''t I always treat you well?"
12189Did n''t you?"
12189Did you happen to notice what he had in his hand when he ran across the veranda?"
12189Did you see anything of Buck Hardy on the way down?"
12189Did you see my watch?"
12189Do I look as spiff as all that?"
12189Do n''t a mornin''like this make you feel like jumpin''clean out of your boots and over the fence?"
12189Do n''t you?"
12189Do wild turkeys really fly?"
12189Do you ever get advertisements like this?"
12189Do you ever get hungry?
12189Do you know him?
12189Do you know that Pat''s gun was loaded when I found it; that he did n''t have a chance?"
12189Do you know that you''re tryin''to bribe a Gov''ment officer?
12189Do you know what he''s tellin''me?
12189Do you know what that means, boy?
12189Do you reckon I''d tell you to go see Jim if it wa''n''t right?
12189Do you remember the camp we made?"
12189Do you think I could look Lorry in the face when he knew that I sat idle while the man that murdered Pat was riding the country free?"
12189Do you think he will?"
12189Do you think that was square?"
12189Do you think that you could hold down this job?"
12189Do you think your-- Mr. Adams will be back to- night?"
12189Do you want to know what would happen if you was to try to get a holt of said gun if Jim Waring was on his two feet?
12189Does he know anything about your work or conditions?
12189Ever see a piano like that?"
12189Ever see it?"
12189For God''s sake, Pat, who did this thing?"
12189Gettin''too hot?"
12189Going to stay down here awhile?"
12189Got any money?"
12189Got it?"
12189Got your card?"
12189Had any word from your folks recent?"
12189Hands clasped on knee, you hummed a tune, a melody light and low; And do you remember the venture planned in jest-- for your heart was gay?''"
12189Have you seen Tony or Andy Brewster lately?"
12189He was ready on the instant to fight, but with whom?
12189He''s eighteen, is n''t he?"
12189Heard anything from Adams?"
12189Higher up, John?"
12189His frown deepened as the supervisor asked another question:"Do you think you could hold down my job, Bud?"
12189His pony, Gray Leg, head up and nostrils working, twitched back one ear as Lorry spoke:"You see it, too?"
12189How about Vaca?"
12189How are the supplies holding out?"
12189How could this man Waring speak of Pat that way, when he must know that Pat had been killed?
12189How did you know?"
12189How do you like this country?"
12189How many times was he hit?"
12189How many?"
12189How much?"
12189How they been usin''you down here?"
12189How''s everything?"
12189How''s mother?"
12189How''s the leg?"
12189How''s the little lady these days?"
12189How''s things down this way?"
12189How''s your dad?"
12189I like the kid, and then there''s his mother--""And you''d hold him for lettin''the guy loose, eh?"
12189I wonder how many of them are bushed along the trail between here and Nogales?"
12189I wonder what will happen next?"
12189If Dorothy loved this land, why should she leave it?
12189If he do n''t wiggle his tail, he says,''no,''--huh?"
12189If she kissed him three times, one right on top of the other, would he let her come?
12189Is he a good boy?"
12189Is he nice?
12189Is n''t that awful?
12189Is n''t the air good?
12189Is that a Gallup saddle or a Frazier?"
12189Is that your horse-- the one standing alone over there?"
12189Is that your horse?"
12189Is that your horse?"
12189Is there any decent American paying him to do that sort of thing?
12189It would n''t do any harm to look, would it?"
12189It''s just like being a social pet, is n''t it?
12189Just what made you leave Sonora without saying a word?
12189Knew you would like to get a crack at me, eh?
12189Know the answer?"
12189Know where I can find him?"
12189Know why he wanted to shake hands?
12189Lorry?"
12189May I?"
12189Missy,"and he called to Dorothy, who was having an extravagant romp with Bondsman,"could you play a tune for your Uncle Bud?"
12189New life?
12189Now you would n''t think he was the fastest gunman in the Southwest, would you?"
12189Now, I thought it was politics mebby?"
12189Now, if I''d been lean like you--""Did you see Waco?"
12189Now, if you was in my boots, and she liked you enough, would you marry her?"
12189Now, just suppose one of the Brewster boys heard of it and come over askin''you what you meant?
12189Now, what about you, Ramon?"
12189Now, what are some of them gals goin''to do if their boys do n''t come back?
12189Now, when wimmin talks that way, what do you expect of men?
12189Now--""Where have you planted them, Pat?"
12189Of what use was it to try and deceive the gringo?
12189Or mebby come back crippled for life?
12189Or would he wait until they were in some hidden fastness of the Agua Fria, and there kill them and leave them to the coyotes?
12189Presently Shoop''s voice broke the indolent silence of noon:"Just why did you chuck that bottle over there?"
12189Rescued you?"
12189Roll another?"
12189Sabe?
12189Sabe?"
12189Say, did you ever get track of that roan mare you lost up at Las Cruces?"
12189Say, she shines like a new hack, eh?"
12189Say, what does Bronson call his gal''Peter Pan''for?"
12189See my piano?"
12189See?
12189Seen anything of Hardy and his men lately?"
12189Set around and wait to go back to fightin''?
12189Shall we look at the mail?
12189Shall we try this?"
12189She''s sick, did you say?"
12189Shoop?"
12189So you think Lorry is a right smart hombre, eh?"
12189Starr?"
12189Stay for chuck?"
12189Suppose the Apaches did come over the line?
12189Surely health meant more to her than the streets and homes of the East?
12189Surely it is not-- Alice?"
12189That poor fool?
12189That young Mexican stayin''at the ranch with him?"
12189Then when Ramon rode in here two days ago and asked you for two horses, why did n''t you refuse him?
12189Then you changed your mind about going?"
12189This his hoss?"
12189Torrance?"
12189Waring?"
12189Was Ramon Ortego to forget that?
12189Was he, then, so unafraid of death that he could sing in the very shadow of its wings?
12189Was it a pistol?"
12189Was the game worth while?
12189Was the gringo mad?
12189Was this a trap?
12189Was you goin''to turn your stock out with mine?"
12189Was you- all thinkin''of stoppin''me?
12189We''d be frozen in tight, should n''t we?"
12189We''ll be just friends always, wo n''t we?"
12189Well, speakin''of Buck, how would you like to hear a little talk from a real music- box?"
12189Well, suppose you are?"
12189Well, why did n''t you say so?
12189Were you goin''on up?"
12189What I want to know is: Does Jim Waring leave town peaceful, or have I got to hang around here till he gets well enough to travel, and then show you?
12189What could he have done even had he been courageous?
12189What could we do if Lorry were gone?"
12189What did Alice Weston know about Lorry?
12189What did he say?
12189What difference did it make to them if those people over there were being starved, outraged, murdered?
12189What do some of our boys do fightin''alongside of them Frenchmen and under the French flag, when they get wounded and get a furlough?
12189What do you know about raising cucumbers?
12189What do you know about the land north of here, on up toward the Santa Fé?"
12189What do you reckon I better do?''
12189What do you think he writ back?"
12189What do you think he''d do if he knowed Jim was shot up?"
12189What do you think?"
12189What do you want?"
12189What does he say?
12189What had she done to cause him to act so strangely?
12189What have I got to do with the sheriff''s office?"
12189What if the Starr cowboys did n''t come?
12189What is it they say in Mexico,''Adios''?
12189What is it?
12189What name will I sign, Annie?"
12189What reason had he to expect her to invite him personally, except that she had almost invariably done so heretofore?
12189What was behind it all?
12189What was his game?"
12189What was the cowboy going to say next?
12189What was the number?"
12189What would I do without you?"
12189What''s ailin''you, son?"
12189What''s bitin''you, anyway?"
12189What''s that he''s packing?"
12189What''s the boy doing down here?"
12189What''s the fuss?"
12189What''s the use of your actin''like a goat just because you got chin whiskers?
12189What''s up?
12189What''s your idea in holdin''up wimmin- folk, anyhow?"
12189When are you coming up to visit us?"
12189When did the boy go to work?
12189When did you get in?"
12189When do we go north?"
12189When does the mail go out of this bone- hill?"
12189Where could he get a renewal?
12189Where did it happen?"
12189Where did you pick him up?"
12189Where do you eat?"
12189Where was he drifting to?
12189Where''d you learn to rope?"
12189Where''d you overtake Vaca and his outfit?"
12189Where''d you rope_ him_?"
12189While we are at it, what do you know about him?"
12189Who are you, anyway?"
12189Who are you, anyway?"
12189Who are you, buttin''in on this?"
12189Who could be unhappy in this glorious country?
12189Who pays him?
12189Who said I did n''t?"
12189Who wants to take a little pasear after that gun?"
12189Who would think to look for them there?
12189Why did he come back?"
12189Why did n''t Mrs. Starr or Starr say something?
12189Why did n''t you come to me?"
12189Why did you let him take two spare horses?"
12189Why did you tell him you would sell them, but that you would not lend them to him?"
12189Why do n''t you cheer?"
12189Why do n''t you laugh at him when he''s telling you of the buildings he has dynamited and how many deaths he is responsible for?
12189Why do n''t you wait a year or two?"
12189Why do n''t you write to Torrance and ask him point- blank if he has had a hand in getting you nominated for Senator?
12189Why had Pat laid that gun on the seat?
12189Why had he stopped at the spring?
12189Why had he undertaken such a long, weary ride?
12189Why had n''t she told him more about it all?
12189Why in tarnation ca n''t I say it on paper?
12189Why not take advantage of it?
12189Why not?
12189Why should men kill each other?
12189Why should n''t I?"
12189Why?"
12189Will I do?"
12189Will you put it down right here, and me to call my friend and witness your name?"
12189Wo n''t you say the rest of it?"
12189Would I start off with''Dear John''or''Dear Old Friend''?
12189Would Ramon bungle it by calling out, or would he have nerve enough to make an end of it on the instant?
12189Would he take them to Sonora-- to the prison?
12189Would n''t you do some hard thinkin''afore you jumped into your fightin''clothes?"
12189Would you take the boy on if you were in my place?"
12189Would you thrun it away if it was full?"
12189You ai n''t mad at your Uncle Bud, be you?"
12189You did n''t expect to meet any one, did you?"
12189You did n''t think for a minute that I''d_ marry_ him, did you?"
12189You do n''t want to sell that pony, do you?"
12189You got your three letters?"
12189You know that grade afore you get to the mesa?
12189You mean when all men is born fools and equal?
12189You said you were in Mexico?"
12189You say Jasper will be in this evening?"
12189You say Jim is feelin''spry ag''in?"
12189You tired of this job?"
12189You want me to turn him loose?"
12189You will not tell them that I was with my Uncle José?"
12189Young Adams--""Where do you get it all, Bud?
12189Young blood?
12189Your father?"
12189Your mother knows you''re goin''to jine the army?"
12189Yours?"
12189is for''What''s bitin''you?''
10932A living skeleton?
10932Afraid?
10932After six years, could I drop back into the old chrysalis naturally, without awkwardness? 10932 All right now, eh?
10932Am I never to have a glimpse of that treasure? 10932 And I shall make ready to stay a long time?"
10932And Jack? 10932 And Miss Ewold?
10932And Miss Ewold? 10932 And Omar?"
10932And all through the night you kept firing?
10932And as I shall want a man with me, may I rely on you? 10932 And beyond that how many miles to the water- hole?"
10932And he told no one else in Little Rivers? 10932 And in all these years you have never been back East?"
10932And keep your words?
10932And now?
10932And the Doge?
10932And the books?
10932And the telegram, Jack?
10932And then what else? 10932 And then?"
10932And there is more land here to make gardens like this?
10932And we not go, eh? 10932 And what did you say?"
10932And what do you think? 10932 And who do you think he is-- who?"
10932And would Jasper Ewold, whom I understand is the head and founder of the community, want you to come? 10932 And you and he came down the pass together?
10932And you are going to help me, are n''t you, Peter?
10932And you have no plans?
10932And you have pencil and paper to make some sort of transfer that will be the first legal step in undoing what you have done?
10932And you never long for cities, with their swift currents and busy eddies?
10932And you think that I am no longer a weakling?
10932And you want it all-- all the story from me?
10932And you will listen in silence?
10932And you, Mary? 10932 And you-- you no sleep?"
10932And you? 10932 And, Jack, if your mother were here with us and were herself, would she want you to go back to take up a rifle instead of your work at my side?
10932Are any other employees going?
10932Are n''t you a hero? 10932 Are n''t you overplaying your part, sir?"
10932Are they just going on forever having adventures and us never knowing about them?
10932Are you hit?
10932Are you ready to settle down?
10932Are you sure you ought? 10932 At dinner?
10932At what period of Velasquez''s career?
10932Begin to promote order with disorder and where will you end?
10932But Jack? 10932 But of what service will you be?"
10932But she will be back soon?
10932But the thing that I can not help-- the transcendent thing, not of logic, not of Little Rivers''difficulties-- how am I to give that up?
10932But what did she mean? 10932 But why did you not rouse me?
10932But will you? 10932 But, Peter, just one question, if you care to answer; was it-- was it this thing that drove my mother into exile?"
10932But-- there is no trick?
10932By walking through the town with a wisp of alfalfa in one hand and exhibiting the callouses on the other? 10932 By what right do you come here?"
10932Can you shoot to kill?
10932Coffee before we start?
10932Could you dine with me-- not at the house-- say at the club? 10932 Did I?
10932Did n''t I come by train?
10932Did you expect that I should be in a gray riding- habit? 10932 Did you know when they brought you in?"
10932Did you make the jelly yourself?
10932Did you open that note?
10932Did you tell him that I had a cough-- kuh- er?
10932Do I hear the faint echo of a human ego down there on the earth?
10932Do n''t keep one? 10932 Do n''t you buy your clothes, your best clothes, I mean, in your own store?"
10932Do n''t you like Little Rivers?
10932Do n''t you realize what death is?
10932Do you know a good piece of land?
10932Do you see strange lettering on the cloth?
10932Do you see where that shelf breaks abruptly?
10932Do you think I am about to die?
10932Do you think he will keep his word?
10932Do you think so?
10932Do you think that they are out of the sand?
10932Doge, eh?
10932Eh? 10932 Family questions, eh?
10932Family questions?
10932Father did not come to meet me?
10932Father not having been true to his agreement by keeping you in New York, why should I keep his secret? 10932 Galway, you have a gun?"
10932Had you forgotten where you met the dinosaur?
10932Has he travelled much in the West?
10932Has it taken you all this time to find that out? 10932 Has my complexion turned green over night or my nose slipped around to my ear?"
10932Have I a double out West and another in New York?
10932Have I time for the altogether?
10932Have n''t I made good? 10932 He has the grant for the water rights?"
10932He is here now?
10932He walked right toward a muzzle, this Wingfield?
10932He will?
10932How celebrate?
10932How did we ever get along without him before he came, anyway?
10932How do you do, brother?
10932How do you do?
10932How do you do?
10932How do you do?
10932How do you know how I feel?
10932How do you like Little Rivers?
10932How long before I start?
10932How long have you been here?
10932How long will Prather be in getting through the sand?
10932How many?
10932How shall I know the direction?
10932How should you like to start out delivering goods with me in the morning?
10932How-- how would I have his horse if he were n''t willing?
10932How?
10932How?
10932Howdy do, Leddy?
10932Howdy yourself?
10932I do n''t interrupt-- for a moment?
10932I will grant your defence of your father, but you will not argue? 10932 I-- I have a right to know-- won''t you tell me how you are going to defend yourself against Pete Leddy?"
10932I-- I-- was it Leddy that fired on us?
10932In the blood, Mary? 10932 Is it in there, in the drawing- room?"
10932Is it really you, Firio? 10932 Is it right to remain, however much you like this desert life?
10932Is it twenty now?
10932Is it work you mean? 10932 Is it?"
10932Is there any particular feature that interests you?
10932It is fair to the other one, is n''t it? 10932 It will be a case of weeding for me in the future, wo n''t it?"
10932It''s a clean piece of rope, is n''t it?
10932Jack Wingfield? 10932 Japanese?
10932John Prather?
10932Just how does it happen that I am here? 10932 Just what does this mean?"
10932Laughs?
10932Leddy, was n''t it the way I whistled to you the first time we met that made you want satisfaction? 10932 Like whom?
10932Little Rivers is a new town, is n''t it?
10932Mary, you are late-- and what have we here?
10932May I go to his school of agriculture, horticulture, and floriculture?
10932May I ride down with you, or shall I go ahead?
10932Miss Ewold, you mean?
10932Mister, did you yell when you was hit?
10932Mr. Wingfield--"Well, Peter?
10932Never the trail again?
10932No one else?
10932No rivals?
10932No?
10932No?
10932Not even in the garden?
10932Not one argument?
10932Not to fight Prather?
10932Now may I ask you a question? 10932 Now you know I am not well, do n''t you, Firio?"
10932Now, Pedro, you have Gonzalez''s money, have n''t you?
10932Now, do you want me to take the other side on that question so you can have another unearned victory? 10932 Now, where have we met before?
10932Now, where shall I find Jasper Ewold?
10932Now, would you advise pricking?
10932O youth, will you tarry with peace between wars?
10932Oh, Jack, you remember my farewell remark? 10932 On the ground that if you pay me more I might make myself worth more?"
10932Poetry, Mary? 10932 Pose?"
10932Prather went by the range trail, of course?
10932Quite like the Middle Ages, is n''t it?
10932Señorita, that young man who was here and Pete Leddy-- do you know, señorita?
10932Shall we lunch-- yes, and in the Best Swell Place?
10932Shall we start in the morning and have luncheon at the foot of the range?
10932Shall we walk?
10932Shall you be home early? 10932 She-- yes?"
10932So it''s salads and roses, is it, Peter?
10932That gave him a lot of pleasure-- and a remarkably quick system for delivering goods, was n''t it?
10932The Three Musketeersor"Cyrano"?
10932The boy''s good nature is n''t making him too familiar with the employees?
10932The clothes I bought to please Firio, you mean?
10932The date- trees? 10932 The railroad station is on the other side of the town, is n''t it?"
10932The work to- day? 10932 The young man who came down from the pass with me, you mean?"
10932Then I have done something worth while, really?
10932Then it is all right? 10932 Then shall it be at dinner?"
10932Then she still lives?
10932There is nothing more? 10932 There is time?
10932This is the end-- that is the understanding-- the end?
10932To fight Leddy?
10932To make your fortune, your life, out here?
10932To wear over my riding- habit or when I am digging in the flower beds?
10932Was I truly?
10932Was I truly?
10932Was his name Bennington?
10932Was it-- was it something to do with this Wingfield?
10932Was it? 10932 Was n''t it marked personal for me?"
10932We go to fight?
10932We take rifles?
10932We were never mawkish; we were just good citizens of Little Rivers, were n''t we? 10932 We?"
10932Well, are you going to let me go?
10932Well, what is it now? 10932 Well?"
10932What am I to do?
10932What business is it of yours?
10932What do you think your ancestor would say to it?
10932What else?
10932What has Señor Jack planned for us to do?
10932What have you found to do all these years?
10932What is this thing crawling along on two silken threads and so afraid of the hills?
10932What is?
10932What lies beyond?
10932What sort of horses had Prather and Nogales?
10932What work to- day?
10932What''s the matter, Bob?
10932What-- what does it mean?
10932When he said that did his face change completely? 10932 Where are they?
10932Where did he go? 10932 Where is Jack Wingfield?"
10932Where should I turn for outside capital that would not demand a majority interest in the project? 10932 Where?
10932Where? 10932 Where?
10932Who are you? 10932 Who was with him?"
10932Who would do it? 10932 Why are you here?
10932Why be on the Avenue and not buy?
10932Why care? 10932 Why did I take to the trail after Pedro Nogales struck at me with his knife?
10932Why did n''t you tell me last night?
10932Why do you always speak of him as''this Wingfield,''she demanded,"as if the town were full of Wingfields and he was a particular one?"
10932Why do you think that?
10932Why not leave all the problems of earthly existence to your lungs? 10932 Why should I carry a six- shooter if I did not?"
10932Why should he when you did not mention it yourself? 10932 Why we go?
10932Why were my mother and myself always in exile? 10932 Why, have you forgotten that we settled all that?"
10932Why? 10932 Why?"
10932Will I trust you, Jack? 10932 Will they?"
10932Will you also trust me?
10932Will you ask my father if he will see me at once?
10932Will you go in costume? 10932 Will you wait on my slow pace?"
10932Will you? 10932 Will you?"
10932Without developing any sense of responsibility?
10932Would n''t it be a good idea to cheer it up a bit? 10932 Would you have a man turn cherub when he has escaped having his jugular slashed by a margin of two or three inches?
10932Yes, Jack, or why speak at all?
10932Yes, Sir Chaps, I shall talk; otherwise, why was man given a tongue in his head and ideas?
10932Yes, and the finish of the fight-- how was that?
10932Yes, has n''t he both, this Wingfield?
10932Yes, sir, we will have that dinner- jacket ready to- night, sir, depend upon it-- and could n''t I show you something in cheviots?
10932Yes, wo n''t you come in?
10932Yes,she told the horizon; and after a little silence added:"The time has come to play another part?"
10932Yes?
10932Yes?
10932Yes?
10932You are all of the same opinion?
10932You are not pleased? 10932 You ask what did she mean?
10932You can do it as well as Thompson''s?
10932You could help with your knowledge of law? 10932 You do n''t find even a speck?"
10932You do n''t mind if I tell you again-- if I speak my one continuous thought aloud again?
10932You felt it-- you felt it very definitely, Mary?
10932You have the check for it, sir?
10932You have the framework from which you can build the whole story of him-- the story of how he fought and how Velasquez came to paint him? 10932 You have the papers for the concession with you?"
10932You know who it is?
10932You know? 10932 You mean that I am to stand on the platform and read poetry dedicated to him?"
10932You mean that you admitted who you were?
10932You mean the Indian and the burro with the silver bells that came over the pass some time before you?
10932You mean this?
10932You mean you are going to leave here for good?
10932You no know, señorita? 10932 You still fear, then, to look down from walls?
10932You think of settling?
10932You think so? 10932 You want citizens, industrious young citizens, do n''t you?"
10932You wear the big spurs and the grand chaps?
10932You will take me to look at the land, wo n''t you, please-- now? 10932 You will wire him the date of your arrival?"
10932Your questions are not so imperative that they can not wait?
10932Your wound is quite all right? 10932 ''Did you like him?'' 10932 A son who could be such an adjutant as only one who is of your own flesh and blood can be in the full pursuit of the same family interest as yourself? 10932 After all, did he really know how to shoot? 10932 After all, had his attitude toward her been merely acting? 10932 Am I eligible?
10932Am I never, never to read your diary?"
10932And Firio?
10932And Mary?
10932And before the portrait on the other side of the mantel he thought, challengingly and affectionately:"And you?
10932And could n''t I make you up three or four fancy waistcoats, with a little color in them-- the right color to go with the cloth?
10932And he never mentioned that he had met me?"
10932And how do you like the way I set those silver clouds a- tumbling?
10932And if you broke down her will, if you won, would there be happiness for you and for her?
10932And just how can you help?"
10932And what did Burleigh like?
10932And what do you imagine they are going to do with the two thousand?
10932And what do you think she did?
10932And what else?
10932And what shall I wire your father?
10932And what woman, whatever style of riding she chose, should care to come to this pass?
10932And where would he go?
10932And you will help me lay out the flower garden, wo n''t you?
10932And, Jack, are you going to stand by and see robbery done by the meanest, most worthless greaser in the valley-- and a good Indian the victim?"
10932And, Jack, it is wise for you, is n''t it, to bear in mind that your life has not been normal?
10932And-- and, Jack, you know?"
10932Anything but to repeat"Thank you"?
10932Back by train-- and in store clothes?
10932Before it struck again daylight would have come; and before night came again, what?
10932But first, will you tell me what your mother told you?
10932But was it folly?
10932But was n''t any letter, any communication of any kind, superfluous?
10932But why did you stay on after you had recovered from your wound?"
10932But why not rake out our skeletons together, you and I?"
10932But you will?"
10932Can you guess?
10932Come, Jack, am I not right?"
10932Could I resist?
10932Could Ignacio be right?
10932Could he deliberately shoot down an unarmed man?
10932Could he ever catch up with this procession which had all the time been moving on in the five years of his absence?
10932Could he learn to talk and think in the regulated manner of the traffic rules of convention?
10932Could she no longer trust her own eyesight?
10932Did I still know how to wear a fine gown?"
10932Did Jack really know how to shoot?
10932Did it hurt much?"
10932Did it seem like the face of another man?
10932Did n''t you connect?"
10932Did n''t you ever deliver packages in person in your early days?"
10932Did the doctor say you might?
10932Did the doctor say you might?"
10932Did this home- coming mean a son who could learn the business; a strong, shrewd, cool- headed son?
10932Did you get any idea of which you''d choose from looking the store over to- day?"
10932Do I?
10932Do n''t the lecturers to young medical students say,"Divert your patient''s mind to some topic other than himself as you get your first impression"?
10932Do n''t you think it is a good name for him?"
10932Do n''t you?
10932Do they think I want to put in ten years out here for nothing?
10932Do you dare to aspire as high as dates?"
10932Do you know anything better under the dome of any church or capitol?
10932Do you know those shadows that I can not understand better than I?"
10932Do you mind?"
10932Do you prefer that way?"
10932Do you recall ever having met him?
10932Do you remember how you stood here on the very site of my house and lectured me?
10932Do you remember it at all?"
10932Do you think I would ask to see your diary?"
10932Do you think I would want to?"
10932Do you think they could travel together?"
10932Do you want to go for that?
10932Firio has done well, has n''t he?"
10932Firio?
10932For how can you talk of the desert sky except in the banality of exclamations?
10932For what purpose is the word in the English vocabulary?
10932From to- night things will not be so strange, will they?
10932Go to him in as much distress as if his existence were her care?
10932Had Jack Wingfield been more than a symbol?
10932Had he been mistaken?
10932Had he brought something more than an expression of culture, manner, and ease of a past which nothing could dim?
10932Had he caught her as she wobbled in the saddle?
10932Had he suggested some personal relation to that past which her father preferred to keep unexplained?
10932Had he surmised what was passing in her mind?
10932Had his eyes personified a wish when they saw a figure on the steps?
10932Had mental suggestion played him a trick?
10932Had not his own perversity taken his fate out of her hands?
10932Had not she done her part?
10932Had she done any foolish thing in expression of a weakness that she had never known before?
10932Had she extended her hand for support?
10932Had she gone out of her head?
10932Had she not already learned to expect inconsistencies from him?
10932Had she not warned him about Leddy?
10932Had she undergone this humiliation as the fish on the line of the mischievous play of one who had stopped over a train in order to do murder?
10932Has he asked you?"
10932Has he set any limit to his ambition?
10932Have n''t you a walking- stick?
10932Have you any excuse?"
10932Have you any suggestion?"
10932Have you any water to drink on the way?"
10932Have you ever looked down?"
10932Have you lost your memory?"
10932Have you met him?"
10932Have you no tongue?"
10932He picked up the rose and the hat, while the father regarded him with stony wonder which said:"Are you mine, or are you not?
10932Help these men seasoned by experience in land disputes in that region?"
10932His look plainly said:"How much longer do you mean to harass me?"
10932How about it?"
10932How could he remember the face of a grown man from the face of a boy?
10932How deep ran the current of this past association?
10932How do you know?"
10932How high were Jack''s hedges?
10932How is she?"
10932How was he connected with the story of the mother?
10932How was this and that person coming on?
10932How were the Doge''s date- trees?
10932How would he get past that steep shoulder?
10932I do n''t know anything pleasanter than making people feel perfectly natural, do you?
10932I have a right to know that, have n''t I, in my effort to make my side clear?"
10932I have your good wishes?"
10932I?
10932If I were in darkness and you could give me light, would you refuse?
10932If Jack were well, would not Bennington have said so?
10932If he preferred to die, why should it be her concern?
10932If he would not listen to her yesterday, why should she expect him to listen to her now?
10932If ornamental hedges waste water and bring bugs and are contrary to practical ranching ideas, why-- well, why not?
10932If you keep on spending the same orange crop, just where do you arrive in the maze of finance?"
10932In which direction?"
10932Is he going to make it an even hundred and then retire?"
10932Is it fair to her to follow her back to the desert?
10932Is it the courage of self- denial, of control of impulse on your part?
10932Is n''t it part of the custom of Little Rivers that pasts melt into the desert?
10932Is n''t the town free of Leddy?
10932Is that a bargain?"
10932Is that an important branch to learn?"
10932Is that the way yours is?"
10932Is the wound healed?"
10932Is there a hotel?"
10932It is a big business building a mountain; only, when God Almighty scattered so many ready- made ones about, why take the trouble?"
10932It is only a question of time, is n''t it?"
10932It is very cool here under the umbrella- trees, is n''t it?
10932Jack asked strangely;"that I carried out your instructions when you sent me away?"
10932Jack broke the silence by asking, in a tone of lively hospitality:"You will join me at luncheon?"
10932Jasper Ewold?
10932Jim Galway?"
10932Line them with purple?
10932Mary, have n''t I a right to know?"
10932May I?"
10932Morning and afternoon and evening he would go over to Dr. Patterson''s with the question:"How is he?"
10932Must she be the audience to some fresh exhibition of his versatility?
10932My name is Prather, and yours?"
10932No Jack looking up from work to ask boyishly:"Am I learning?
10932No danger of infection?"
10932No further light on his old relations with my father and mother?"
10932Now do n''t you remember?
10932Now, after Prather had gone?"
10932Now, that trick he played by going up on the ridge under cover of darkness?"
10932On what will it turn?"
10932One of the art critics?"
10932Or did he not care?
10932Palette?
10932Perhaps in Goldfield?
10932Say, do you like plums?"
10932Señores?"
10932Shall I bank them?
10932Shall I wait up for you?"
10932Shall you make a specialty of olives?
10932Shirking and for what-- for what?"
10932Should she endure witnessing in reality the horror which she had pictured so vividly in imagination?
10932Should she submit herself to fruitless humiliation?
10932Should she volunteer herself as a rescuer of fools?
10932Should you pause, incapable of analysis, in a spell of tribute?"
10932That is, I suppose you will want to keep this as a memento, eh?"
10932That''s the only criterion of character in Little Rivers according to your own code, is n''t it, Jasper Ewold?"
10932The Doge not being at home, wo n''t you show me around?"
10932The aviary?
10932The nursery?"
10932The work to- day?"
10932Then I am not quite hopeless?"
10932Then he talked of you and your father-- you still wish to hear?"
10932Then he turned to Jim Galway:"Has John Prather arrived?"
10932Then why do you ask?"
10932Then you will stay?
10932There is blood on your dress''What does this mean?"
10932There is hope?"
10932To go to let the devil, as you call it, out of you?"
10932To have this rose in a vase on your table where you could see it, instead of riding about in an empty automobile box?"
10932To how many men had he said,"I am going to kill you?"
10932Trust you who gave up your inheritance?"
10932Was he confident of the outcome?
10932Was he out of his head?
10932Was he simply clay that served without feeling?
10932Was he that hard?
10932Was it possible, after all, that he could feel?
10932Was it the name of a new kind of semi- tropical fruit not yet introduced into Arizona?
10932Was n''t he mad?
10932Was n''t it the folly of weak and stupid stubbornness?
10932Was n''t she mad?
10932Was the boy to be his in thought and purpose, after all?
10932Was there anything further to say except"Thank you"?
10932Was this Indian boy prepared for the news?
10932Was this John Prather?
10932Was this man ever to be subjecting her to spasms of fear on his account?
10932We ai n''t been getting you in wrong, I hope?"
10932We fight?"
10932We stay?
10932Well, did n''t I respect mine?
10932Well, there is n''t much to our family except you and I and that old ancestor-- and a long talk, you say?"
10932Well, what did she say?
10932Were his smiles the mask of a conviction that he was to kill and not to be killed?
10932What am I saying?
10932What books should he bring to the invalid to while away the time?
10932What can the old man do?
10932What could she have meant?"
10932What did she say?"
10932What do I know?
10932What do you know that I do n''t know?
10932What do you mean?
10932What does it matter?
10932What had she meant?
10932What her reasons were?
10932What if we had to pay the price he set for what takes the place of rain, as they do in some places in California?
10932What in-- where are you going to grow them?"
10932What is he to me?"
10932What is he to me?"
10932What is the nature of this new strength?
10932What matter if the easy traveller could shoot?
10932What other quarrels had he known in his wanderings from Colorado to Chihuahua?
10932What purpose in questions now?
10932What put this idea into your head?"
10932What reason was there for her to remain?
10932What the deuce is the mystery?"
10932What then?
10932What then?
10932What then?"
10932What was the story of this teller of stories?
10932What was this barrier between you and her?
10932What will Mary say to me, now?"
10932What would have happened if Leddy had really drawn?
10932What-- what are you going to do?"
10932When my mother came home, do you remember her look?
10932Where do you mean to end?
10932Where is it?"
10932Where''s your pretty whistle?"
10932Where?"
10932Who can about the planning of new houses and gardens?
10932Who can tell?
10932Who is he?
10932Who is he?
10932Who is n''t entitled to the Best Swell Place occasionally?"
10932Who is this double of mine?"
10932Who should understand if not I?"
10932Why care?"
10932Why did I stay?
10932Why did you go alone?"
10932Why had he not compromised with Dr. Bennington''s advice and tried part falsehood and part contrition?
10932Why had he not kept in mind that sufficient to the hour is the pleasure of it?
10932Why had he not said so at first?
10932Why had she not thought that it would be here that Pete Leddy was bound to wait for anyone coming in by the trail from Galeria?
10932Why have you come back?"
10932Why not close the store and make a holiday for everybody?
10932Why not continue after Mr. Wingfield has washed off the dust of travel and we are at table?"
10932Why not lie back and look on at things and breathe my air?
10932Why on his horse?"
10932Why should he bring them to the dining- room, which is mine?"
10932Why should he get so wrought up over the fact that another man looked like him?
10932Why should n''t we take the same train back?"
10932Why should that bitterness be turned against me?
10932Why this bitterness of Jasper Ewold against you?
10932Why was it that I never saw you?
10932Why?
10932Why?
10932Why?
10932Will he come out of this delirium, you ask?
10932Will you and the Doge help me?"
10932Will you come?"
10932Will you go forth and dream for a day?
10932Will you plow with Pete Leddy''s gun drawn by Wrath of God, sir, and harrow with your spurs drawn by Jag Ear?
10932Will you ride to the pass?"
10932Will you sit down?"
10932Will you wear your spurs and the chaps and the silk shirt?"
10932Will you, and gaze out over that spot of green in the glare of the desert, knowing that a little of it is mine?"
10932Will you, because I kept the faith of callouses?
10932Will you?"
10932Will you?"
10932Wingfield?"
10932With political influence?
10932Wo n''t you see me for a few moments, if I promise to keep to my side of the barrier which you have raised between us?
10932Would he not have emphasized it?
10932Would n''t a cross- eyed Cromwellian soldier strike fear to the heart of any loyalist?
10932Would she want you?"
10932Would you have him say,''Please, naughty boy, give me your knife?
10932Would you want me to read all the foolish things you had ever thought?
10932Yes, did it seem as if there were one face that could charm and another that could kill?"
10932Yes, we have found the truth at last, have n''t we?
10932Yes, what do you do with all the second- class matter?"
10932You are marked-- don''t you see, marked?"
10932You are not coming home?"
10932You are not used to that, I take it?"
10932You have never heard of him?"
10932You have never met anyone who has seen this man?
10932You know?"
10932You noticed it, too?"
10932You ride?"
10932or will you be drawn on a float by Jag Ear-- a float labeled,''The Idler Enjoying His Own Reform?''
10932or,"Back, eh, Jack?
10932so relentlessly?
10932the Doge?
10932the father?
10932why?
10932why?"
2185A pocket- book of the Doctor''s?
2185Ah, the gray- headed gentleman who lunched here the other day? 2185 Ah-- what is this?"
2185Always?
2185Am I really such a fright?
2185And if you do n''t get what you want on your own conditions, what''ll you do?
2185And is it true that you frightened the handsome Captain Carroll away from Amita?
2185And is that all?
2185And is that not enough? 2185 And what hast thou heard, Pereo?"
2185And what says Pereo of the fulfillment of his prophecy?
2185And where is this same telegraphic office?
2185And who is this one man?
2185And who tells you these pretty stories?
2185And why does Senorita Amita now-- look-- complain that Pereo, old Pereo, comes between her and this Senor Raymond--- this maquinista? 2185 And why, sir?"
2185And you Americanos can change in that time?
2185And you have no other sorrow?
2185And you propose to take a few husbands as partners in the business?
2185And you tell me this-- you, Maruja-- you who warned me against my hopeless passion for you?
2185And you think that is not an object of womanly solicitude? 2185 Are you sure?"
2185Ay, man, but the heirs; there must be considerable property?
2185Both alike?
2185But Miss Maruja is the eldest daughter of our hostess, is she not?
2185But even if it can be proved to have been a murder and not an accident, what has that to do with Mrs. Saltonstall or her claim to the property?
2185But how can this be prevented? 2185 But how do you know that she would not do this without-- excuse me-- without intimidation?"
2185But if they threatened you? 2185 But is he always very uncivil?"
2185But since when have you gentlemen become so observant and so punctilious? 2185 But surely this is not your determination?"
2185But what fan wilt thou keep thyself? 2185 But what has kept him from making known his claim to the Saltonstalls?
2185But why so serious tonight, my sister?
2185Could I foresee this?
2185Could you begin by showing a pal the nearest haystack or hen- roost?
2185Did you not think so, Monsieur Garnier?
2185Did you really arrange it beforehand? 2185 Did you think I was coming that way-- where everybody could follow me?"
2185Do I understand that you have called me here to listen to this infamous aspersion of a lady?
2185Do they suspect him at all?
2185Do you care?
2185Do you mean to say that you will permit this pocketbook, handed you in confidence, to be used for such an infamous purpose?
2185Do you still think it is Amita that I--he stopped and added passionately,"Do you remember what I told you?--have you forgotten last night?"
2185Do you think he is fortunate?
2185Do you think he ought to be?
2185Does he suspect the murder?
2185Going to ride to- night, sir?
2185Harry,she said, softly,"did you think of the property when-- when-- you kissed me in the conservatory?"
2185Have you looked here?
2185He is not so bad- looking, is he, Maruja?
2185Here?
2185His WIFE, eh? 2185 How do you know?"
2185How much?
2185How much?
2185How should they? 2185 How-- thou sawest it?"
2185How?
2185How?--sawest it?
2185I know him? 2185 I presume you are able to offer conclusive proofs of everything you have asserted?"
2185I''ll hear from you, then, when you are in San Jose?
2185I?--why?
2185Is he not?
2185Is it a matter of business?
2185Is it a quarrel? 2185 Is that all?"
2185Is this the surprise?
2185It is possible that you have misunderstood, Miss Saltonstall?
2185It''s for the job only, you understand?
2185Knives, Senor?
2185Listen; shall I tell you the story of our house? 2185 Nay, but WHAT said she?"
2185Once for all, do you refuse to return them to me?
2185That no one else should break it to my mother?
2185The Dona Maruja has, without doubt, noticed the bouquet on her dressing- room table from the Senor Garnier?
2185The terrible news?
2185Then I''m to stay here?
2185Then the coyote has always preceded some change in the family fortunes?
2185Then you do n''t think our friend the Captain has had this confidential butler ask his intentions yet?
2185There is another, then?
2185This letter, then, is my authority to recover them?
2185Track whom, Pereo?
2185Was I? 2185 What are you thinking of?"
2185What did you say your name was?
2185What do you mean?
2185What have I to do?
2185What have you got to say for yourself?
2185What if I were to ask you to fly with me now?
2185What is it?
2185What is that?
2185What is?
2185What mean you, girl?
2185What sort of knives have you got?
2185What was your mother''s name?
2185What would you? 2185 What would you?
2185What would you?
2185What''s the matter with your foot? 2185 Where are you going?"
2185Where are your parents now?
2185Where did you come from?
2185Where were you born?
2185Who are you?
2185Who dared thee? 2185 Who knows?
2185Who would dare forbid you talking to me of my sister? 2185 Who would have a right?"
2185Who''s that you''re talking to?
2185Who''s your handsome and wicked- looking friend?
2185Who? 2185 Whom do you seek?"
2185Whom? 2185 Whom?"
2185Why did they separate, then?
2185Why do you say,''Knowing it could he nothing more''?
2185Why dost thou not join the party that drives over to see the wonders of Aladdin''s Palace to- day? 2185 Why not, child?"
2185Why not?
2185Why shouldst thou fly from a dog like this?
2185Why, that''s the young man of the fonda, who picked up your fan,said Carroll,"is n''t it?"
2185Why?
2185Why?
2185Yes, but why seek them? 2185 Yes?"
2185You are-- a stranger here?
2185You do not live here?--you have no friends?
2185You found the tramp pow''ful lazy, did n''t ye?
2185You have not been to bed, Mara?
2185You shall come from Sank Hosay?
2185You surely would not consent to this, my mother?
2185You?--You?
2185''Why does the stranger press my foot in his great hand when he helps me into the saddle?
2185... Stay.... What''s he like?"
2185A servant?"
2185Ah, are you serious; or must you say something derogatory of the lassie''s admirers too?"
2185Am I not master here?
2185And comest thou here thy tardy Pereo to chide?
2185And he has been ill-- very ill, eh?"
2185And his family-- eh?"
2185And it was always:''Eh, Pereo, what shall we do to- day?
2185And more than that, they came here--""And converted the land also; is it not so?
2185And now you want-- what?"
2185And why?
2185And you do not ask what is this favor my mother wishes?"
2185And you will come to him with me at once; and he will recognize you; and we will laugh at those lies; wo n''t we, Harry?"
2185And, could he advise this?
2185Are we not all friends?"
2185Are we not to see the spot where the incantation that produces these marvels is held, even if we are forbidden to witness the ceremony?
2185Are you listening?"
2185Are you sure he has not?"
2185As she did not speak, he continued:"You are thinking, Miss Saltonstall, that you have seen me before, are you not?
2185But the others?
2185But where is this heir?"
2185But, if that is all, surely this prejudice can be removed?
2185Come, what said he, child?"
2185Comest THOU, too, to tell the poor old man his heart is cold, his limbs are feeble, his brain weak and dizzy?
2185Could it be Maruja?
2185Dare you fly with me now, to- night, to the old Padre at the ruined Mision, and let him bind us in those bonds that none dare break?
2185Dare you risk all?
2185Did they teach you this sort of strategy at West Point?"
2185Didst thou say the right?
2185Do I look it?"
2185Do n''t you see that Amita is dying of curiosity?"
2185Do you know what a dangerous thing it is for a woman who has lost one protector to begin to rely upon another?
2185Do you see that picturesque young ruffian over there?"
2185Dost thou hear me?
2185Dost thou not remember when the mustang bolted with him down upon us in the lane, and then thou didst say he would come to evil with the brute?
2185Dost thou think I would soil these hands, that might strike a higher quarry, with blood of thy game?"
2185Eh, and why does SHE, the lady mother, the Castellana, shut Pereo from her councils?"
2185Eh, where are they now?
2185Five days is not much of happiness or sorrow to forget, is it, Carroll-- Captain Carroll?"
2185For instance, you do n''t call her pretty?"
2185For why?
2185Given a shadowy lane, a lovers''moon, a pair of bright and not unkindly eyes, a charming and not distant figure-- what more could he want?
2185Have ye no pity on youth and innocence?"
2185Have you told your story to any one in the valley?"
2185How did the fellow get there?
2185I have had a bad night, and now this calamity"--she stopped and then added, softly,"I want you to do a favor for-- my mother?"
2185I shall not permit him to be uncivil over THAT-- dost thou understand?
2185I wonder what''s up?"
2185I, Pereo, fear?
2185If they drove me from the house?"
2185If, as you say, there are actual proofs, why have they not been acted upon before?
2185In the midst of this the musical voice of Maruja was heard saying,"What is a tramp?"
2185Is it, then, true that Dona Maria said she would have naught more to do with the drunken brute of her mayordomo?"
2185Is this not tempting me?
2185Is this the help you proffer?"
2185It was not THAT he meant?"
2185It was you, Pereo, who took me before you on your pinto horse to the rodeo, when no one knew it but ourselves, my Pereo, was it not?"
2185Jovita Castro had heard( who had not?)
2185My father forgave the Doctor-- why can not you?
2185Nay; thou wilt not?
2185Nevertheless, he laid his hand on the old man''s arm, and, looking him calmly in the eye, said, quietly,"Come?
2185No revolvers and bowie- knives, man, before breakfast, eh?"
2185Pereo, good Pereo, we are asked to ride here and there; we are expected to visit the new people in the valley-- what say you, Pereo?
2185Prince asked, almost rudely,--"Who else has she told this to?"
2185Raising his eyes suddenly to Carroll, he said, quickly,--"You have examined it?"
2185Senor Captain, what are you staring at?
2185Shall we tear ourselves away from the tombs of our ancestors, and join them?"
2185She a flirt, speerin''at men, with that modest downcast air?
2185She was not then grieved-- our Amita-- eh?"
2185Strangely enough, his ditty was a popular Spanish refrain of some matador''s aristocratic inamorata:-- Do you see my black eyes?
2185Tell me, would you actually like me to see if I could assist the virtuous tramp?
2185That Indian- looking fellow?
2185The one of sandal- wood thou hadst to- day?"
2185There''s Buchanan, and Raymond, and Victor Guitierrez, eh?"
2185Thou, Pepita, is thy mistress asleep or dead, that thou sittest here?
2185Turning to Guest, with flashing eyes, she said,"Is it true-- are you the son of Dr. West, and"--she hesitated--"kept out of your inheritance by US?"
2185Well, well, what''s the difference?"
2185What can keep them from being acted upon now?"
2185What do you propose to have me do?"
2185What matter?
2185What said this coyote to the mother of thy mistress?"
2185What will Pereo say, little mother?"
2185What would you?
2185What''s your father''s first name?
2185When Maruja received hers, she said, laughingly, to Prince,"Will you think me very importunate if I ask for another?"
2185Where, Pereo?
2185Who knows?
2185Who said thou wast too old?"
2185Who shall we dine to- day?''
2185Who''s at the casa?
2185Why track them?"
2185Will ye no be ashamed o''yerself for putting the tricks of a Circe on sic a honest gentle bairn?
2185Will you not?"
2185Would SHE come?
2185Would you expect him to be as considerate of others?"
2185Would you have loved me the less if I had avoided this meeting?"
2185Wouldst thou know what he said?
2185Ye do n''t happen to know it?"
2185You are friends, then?
2185You are--- what is called-- a bear-- eh?
2185You bear no malice?"
2185You have n''t got any money, of course?"
2185You would consider it indelicate-- eh?
2185You would say, Knowing this, why did I not warn you?
2185and could he counsel that?
2185and had he a purchaser for Los Osos?"
2185and should the cattle be taken from the lower lands, and the fields turned to grain?
2185are ye mad?
2185but are you not mistaken, Mr. Raymond?
2185said Amita,"where did you come from?"
2185said Raymond, with affected terror,"and spoil this perfect story?
2185sayest thou?"
2185she said, passionately;"and are you mad enough not to see that this very act would have made YOUR suit intolerable to my relations?"
2185that he is no longer fit to do thy master''s work?
2185the butler?
2185thou sawest this, and did nothing-- eh?"
2185would ye drive me mad?"
28502And, if not impertinent, friend, may I ask you whence you have come?
28502Books?
28502But what can I do?
28502But what shall I do? 28502 Friend,"I said,"I doubt not that you have trailed a goodly distance, and your fasting has been long?"
28502Nothing going wrong, I hope?
28502Only sixteen to- day,--eh, deacon?
28502Sixty? 28502 What have they to do with it?"
28502What is it?
28502What''s the matter, deacon?
28502Your name, sir, and business?
28502A man like to this?"
28502A story?
28502And why do we enter so spiritedly into the contest, and lose ourselves in the excitement of the moment?
28502And why should n''t they love me, too?
28502Are not the faces of men as carved tablets on which we read the records of their lives?
28502Brave?
28502But what can a man do, when scorned by a woman?
28502Did she love me?
28502Do you think men who live by trapping and shooting Do n''t learn to distinguish the voice of their rifles?
28502For how can a house be a home with naught in it?
28502Have you seen in the North, have you met in the woods, Has there come to your cabin a man, tall as you, Brave as you and as tender?
28502Henry, You remember the look on his face as he said it, As he lay with his eyes fixed fast on the Picture?
28502Her hand shook and trembled, her face was as marble,"Have you seen in the woods man like to this picture?
28502His home?
28502In the presence of such a wreck of human happiness, perhaps of human hope, what person of any sensibility could maintain a lightsome mood?
28502Is it pride?
28502Is it the comradeship of courage?
28502Knew who he was?
28502Or is it the rising of the indomitable in us, that loves nothing so much as victory, and hates nothing so much as defeat?
28502They would like it, and you would like it, and as for the young folks-- how old are you, parson?"
28502Well, why describe it?
28502What is the motive of her conduct?
28502What made you think of me?"
28502What shall I do, deacon?"
28502Where else when in trouble Can man go and find what he needs, consolation?
28502Who can tell?
28502Who could find her?
28502Who the depth of her nature Might measure?
28502Why should n''t they?
28502Why?
28502Why?
28502Will he do it?
28502do you think the pacer will beat us?"
28502retorted George Washington Marlborough;''what you takes dis nigger for if you tinks I''s gwine to let go dis ole black cow?''
28502what shall I do?"
28502yelled Napoleon de Neville,''what is dis yere nigger gwine to do if de udder nigger lets go?''
10213''Frisco woman?
10213Am I needed or ai n''t I?
10213An''did n''t I keep my promise? 10213 And Baldy Winch, the one who knifed you----?"
10213And I? 10213 And I?"
10213And I?
10213And if we draw a blank?
10213And usually I do n''t go before Saturday?
10213And what do you think of this, Miss Gloria?
10213And what will you say when I introduce you to the Pharaoh who was a big, husky giant before Thebes was thought of?
10213And who has been talking to you?
10213And you know where it is?
10213And you say he''s_ well_?
10213And you, Brail? 10213 And you, King, what are you after?"
10213Another drink before I go?
10213Anybody got anything to say? 10213 Are n''t you glad, Mark?"
10213Are n''t you going to kiss me good- night?
10213Are we going back?
10213Are you quite sure I said that?
10213Are you ready?
10213Are you up to crowding ahead on foot?
10213As long as I''m satisfied, you are, are n''t you?
10213As lovers love? 10213 Before you go in the morning you will come to my door?"
10213Being as I''ve worked on this lay a long time, since I let you others in on it, since I led you to it-- think that''s the fair way to split it? 10213 Brodie has been hanging around him lately, has n''t he?"
10213But Brodie? 10213 But gone where?"
10213But if I would n''t last ten minutes, as you so elegantly put it?
10213But we''ll wait,she asked in utter, weary meekness,"until this horrible storm is over?"
10213But, Gloria, why not? 10213 Ca n''t you see what she''s up to?
10213Can you forgive, Mark?
10213Can you-- not so soon, but some day-- forgive me?
10213Church to- morrow evening and school now?
10213Dead, ai n''t he?
10213Did Brodie----?
10213Did I?
10213Did n''t I explain all of that last night?
10213Did n''t you hear what he said?
10213Did n''t you just come out of the hotel?
10213Did you?
10213Do n''t believe I ever remembered it before, did I?
10213Do n''t you know I wouldn''t----?
10213Do n''t you like girls?
10213Do n''t you want me?
10213Do they?
10213Do you know,he said presently,"that they are probably Gratton and Swen Brodie and their outfit?"
10213Do you know... do you guess... have you the faintest suspicion how I love you?
10213Do you love me, Gloria?
10213Do you think,she said contemptuously,"that what you have hidden back there I could n''t find?"
10213Driven as I was?
10213Eh? 10213 For one thing,"he said brusquely,"I''ll bet you have n''t had a bite to eat since you got here; have you?"
10213Glad? 10213 Gloria,"he said smoothly,"that is n''t necessary, is it?"
10213Gloria----"Mark?
10213Going? 10213 Gold?"
10213Good- night, you mean, do n''t you?
10213Got anything to say?
10213Gratton''s, then King''s, then Gratton''s again?
10213Have n''t I got enough on my hands without you yelping at me?
10213Have n''t I made good already? 10213 Have n''t I told you I was a fool?
10213Have to go all the way back to a grandfather?
10213Have you gone mad, Gloria?
10213Hear her, Steve, old horse? 10213 How came you here?"
10213How do I know? 10213 How do you_ know_ what Brodie and Parker were after?"
10213Howdy, miss?
10213Hurt much?
10213I am going upstairs; wait here for me----"You will come to me? 10213 I ca n''t carry you and the pack and rifle and everything, can I?
10213I demand to know what word Gaynor sent----"Will you have him go, Mark?
10213I supposed that was why you was here----"How hurt?
10213If I do n''t know nothin'',jibed Honeycutt,"what''re you askin''me for?"
10213If I had not come-- would you have gone on with the thing?
10213If I were not along you would go the way they have gone?
10213In God''s name,he demanded,"what do you mean by a thing like that?
10213In what,he replied in that impersonal way which maddened her,"have you so altered as to be worth a man''s broken promise?"
10213Is it going to keep on snowing?
10213Is it?
10213It is Swen Brodie?
10213It wo n''t be bad to have a man stuck on you that''s got all kind of kale, will it, girlie?
10213It''s you, is it? 10213 Just a tree?
10213Just at a rough guess what would you say was the oldest thing in the world?
10213Just because I invited them up here do I have to give up every shred of my independence?
10213Just what is it? 10213 King?
10213Let me rest a bit and get warm?
10213Maybe,suggested Spalding,"his girl brought word?"
10213Me?
10213Meanin''you, Mark?
10213Miss Gloria----"You asked me something?
10213Must we go over it all again? 10213 My father?"
10213Not Mark King, rot him.... Ben Gaynor''s girl, you say? 10213 Not even Gus Ingle''s red, red gold?"
10213Not going so soon?
10213Not loving me, you married me just to save yourself from possible scandal?
10213Now that I have got up here, why not stay? 10213 Now, Gloria?"
10213Now, if I turn back----"To the house?
10213Now, why did she say that?
10213Now?
10213Or do you want me to begin shooting from here?
10213Papa hurt?
10213Pharaoh?
10213Right now?
10213She do n''t cotton to you, and, what''s more, whose gold is it, anyhow? 10213 Sheriff?
10213Since when have you been studying law, Brodie? 10213 So?"
10213So?
10213Step lively, will you?
10213Suppose we have the explanations now? 10213 Swen Brodie?"
10213Tell me,said King heavily,"when you refused to marry Gratton last night-- did you know that I was outside?"
10213Then what are you comin''pesterin''me for? 10213 Then you have n''t forgotten?
10213Then you''re Ben Gaynor''s girl?
10213Think I''m the man to let the crowd of you lift a fortune right under my nose? 10213 Think so, Benny?"
10213Think so?
10213Those men?
10213Up in the other cave, maybe?
10213Very nice, ai n''t it, boys?
10213Wait a minute, will you?
10213Want to kill your horse?
10213Was n''t I a boy grown when the dyin'', delerious man stumbled in on the camp? 10213 Was n''t he bad hurt last night?"
10213Was n''t he there?
10213Was she----?
10213We were short of food-- he is hunting-- maybe he has gone for help----"And you showed Gratton where he hid his gold? 10213 We will overtake them?
10213Well, then? 10213 Well,"demanded Gaynor,"what''s to be done?
10213Well?
10213Well?
10213Well?
10213Well?
10213Well?
10213Were you?
10213What about_ me_?
10213What alterations?
10213What are you after?
10213What do you know about it?
10213What do you mean?
10213What do you say to a cup of coffee? 10213 What do you suppose?"
10213What do you think of her marryin''that swab, now? 10213 What else do you leave me?"
10213What else is there to do?
10213What girl would n''t?
10213What have you got to say about it?
10213What if I am? 10213 What in the world did you want to blush like that for?
10213What in the world happened?
10213What in the world was Mark King thinking of?
10213What is it?
10213What is the oldest thing in the world?
10213What is what?
10213What makes you look like that? 10213 What makes you so sure?"
10213What more do you want? 10213 What of it?"
10213What particular article of my daintily served luncheon has made the great hit with you? 10213 What sort is she, Steve?"
10213What was it like up on the cliff tops?
10213What''s the good, Mark? 10213 What?"
10213What?
10213When did you ever ask me if I loved you?
10213When? 10213 Where are you goin''to put it?"
10213Where is King?
10213Where is King?
10213Where is it?
10213Where''s King all this time?
10213Where''s my rifle?
10213Where?
10213Which one?
10213Who are you talking about, Betty?
10213Who in blazes are you, kid? 10213 Who said I wanted help?
10213Who said there was money? 10213 Who were they?"
10213Why did you leave me?
10213Why just you two guys, anyway? 10213 Why not leave it here until we know----?"
10213Why not now?
10213Why should we move, after all?
10213Why, what on earth is the matter, Frieda?
10213Will you come down now? 10213 Will you go and see him one more time?"
10213Will you marry me, Gloria? 10213 Will you tell him good- night for me?"
10213Will you, Gloria?
10213Wo n''t you sit down with me, Mark?
10213Would n''t think now, to look at her, that she was born at Gold Run in a family as rugged as yours and mine, would you? 10213 Would you rather that it was Mark King or I who succeeded?"
10213Yes, Mark?
10213You ai n''t dead yet, are you? 10213 You are going so soon?
10213You are going to leave me here?
10213You are not afraid that I ca n''t take care of you, are you, Gloria?
10213You are not dangerously hurt, papa?
10213You are not going to leave me here alone, are you?
10213You could find it but you wo n''t,he returned with quiet assurance that jerked the question from her:"Why?"
10213You have rested?
10213You know that Gratton has set out to ruin your father? 10213 You know who they are, then?"
10213You listened- in while I talked with mamma, did n''t you?
10213You love me so much, Mark?
10213You mean not knowing them better?
10213You mean that then we could n''t get out at all?
10213You mean you did n''t love me, Gloria?
10213You mean-- we may start back to- day?
10213You plan on going to them?
10213You said last night that you were n''t afraid of anything Brodie and his men could do? 10213 You saw that smoke?"
10213You went for my bear? 10213 You wo n''t let him----?"
10213You would do anything you could to make me happy? 10213 You would like to follow after them?"
10213You''re gettin''married right now?
10213You''re the young lady that stopped in here one day last spring with Mark King? 10213 You, Gloria?
10213Your father? 10213 _ I_ have n''t said you wo n''t be needed, have I?"
10213... Was there really any danger, would there be danger to her?
10213Ai n''t you got any sense?
10213All these hours in the saddle----"Tired much?"
10213Alone?
10213Already, my dear?"
10213Am I not ready to do whatever I can?"
10213An explanation of her presence in the house while her guests were still in the yard; why explain so trifling a matter?
10213An''did n''t I square with him by takin''what I wanted?"
10213An''where''s your mamma?"
10213And as an afterthought:"Now that you are feeling better, perhaps you will go up with me and help?"
10213And did she want it?
10213And from whom?
10213And in the end she said in a tone which she managed to make full of challenge:"Which of you is the better man?"
10213And now shall we start?
10213And now that she had allowed him to carry her out of the quicksands?
10213And now, now you will marry me, wo n''t you?"
10213And that hundred dollars I was to get so fast, how about that?
10213And then?
10213And think?"
10213And toast and eggs?"
10213And was now no time, after all?
10213And was she one to love the wilderness-- for long?
10213And what next does he plan?
10213And what would Mark King say to Ben Gaynor, even if he brought back much raw red gold, if it had cost the life of Ben Gaynor''s daughter?
10213And whence the fine idea?"
10213And who do you suppose I found poking around there?"
10213And would it take long to climb them?
10213And would the mad one shout shrieking defiance at the silence?--or go about on tip- toe, finger laid across his lips?
10213And you chose me?"
10213And you know it, do n''t you?"
10213And you''ll hurry, wo n''t you, Mark?"
10213And you, Tony?
10213And, if you say him no, he''ll shoot his face off, wo n''t he?"
10213And--""Is it very much further to the caves?"
10213Anything, Mark?"
10213Are n''t you?"
10213Are you all right?"
10213Are you stark, raving mad?"
10213Are you sure everything is all right?"
10213As I have loved you?
10213As a wife should love her husband?"
10213As though it were alive--"She broke off, laughing, and amended:"But they_ are_ alive, are n''t they?
10213At the first glint of dawn?
10213Beast, you call me?
10213Benny and the Italian were still alive and might be near?
10213Benny, who always had a thought of his own, said quietly:"What are you doin''about Gratton?
10213Brodie ripped out a string of oaths, demanding:"Who told_ you_ to come in?
10213But I was just asking you----""Where is he?"
10213But am I goin''to blab now, havin''kept a shut mouth all these years?''
10213But how do you know?"
10213But how?
10213But if they made a quick dash in and out; two days each way, not over one day at Gus Ingle''s caves?
10213But keep your eye peeled for Ben, will you?
10213But she merely said, by way of beginning:"The storm is over, then?"
10213But that she should go with him into the mountains on this quest of his?
10213But was he mad?
10213But what''s a gove''ment?
10213But where the devil is''Caive thre''?"
10213But you''ll do it for me, my girl?
10213But, in the meantime, what will you do?"
10213By who?
10213Ca n''t you see that I am the gladdest man on earth?
10213Can I close up the entrance, somehow, so that they wo n''t find it?
10213Can I count on you sticking on the job, your father''s and your own job as much as mine, until we make a go of it?"
10213Can I count on you?
10213Can you do it?"
10213Can you tell me, dear?"
10213Cautious now, would its caution slowly subside as its hunger grew and as she always fled from it?
10213Comin''?"
10213Could he not feel the ominous threat of the bleak day and the monster cliffs?
10213Could he not hear the hostile voices of the raging waters?
10213Did he know that, too?
10213Did it not menace and frighten and, in the end, would it not repel?
10213Did men change colour like chameleons, shifted from one environment to another?
10213Did n''t I hear him talk an''did n''t I see what he had in his fist?
10213Did n''t Mr. Gratton tell you----?"
10213Did she, down in the depths of her frivolous girl- heart, want to be that?
10213Did you marry me without love and just to save yourself from possible gossip of being alone all night with a man?
10213Do n''t I tell you that already Brodie has gone as far as Lookout Ridge?
10213Do n''t you hear them?
10213Do you hear me?
10213Do you realize that I have never seen you in the city?
10213Do you want to lie here and die to- night?"
10213Do you want to spoil everything for me?"
10213Does n''t it?"
10213Does old Honeycutt know any more than the rest of us?"
10213Eh, girlie?"
10213Expectin''him?"
10213Finally it was Gloria who cried with sudden laughter:"Oh, what_ difference_ does it make?
10213For my sake-- for the sake of papa''s daughter and hence for papa''s sake no less-- will you go through the form of marrying me?
10213For, why was she not already in Gratton''s camp?
10213From out these shadows, before his keen eyes found the man they sought, he heard a voice calling faintly:"That you, Brodie?"
10213Get me a drink, will you?"
10213Girls are rather knowing creatures; I wonder if you realize that?"
10213Glad that you want to come with me?
10213Gloria and Gratton here?
10213Goin''to take a snooze?"
10213Good God, what_ did_ she know?
10213Got anything to say?
10213Got it?"
10213Gratton could not, or would not, climb to the higher cave; then why should they not make this their shelter?
10213Gratton, rising to fresh fury, shouted at him:"And leave you and her here?
10213Gratton?"
10213Gratton?"
10213Gratton?"
10213Gratton?"
10213Gratton?"
10213Had he gone mad?
10213Had he gone mad?
10213Had he not come to her when she needed him, and done his uttermost for her?
10213Had he thought of that?
10213Had she glimpsed, when she so gaily left San Francisco last night, that this escapade was something more than a mere"lark"?
10213Has Ben showed up yet?"
10213Have n''t I kept my promise?
10213Have n''t you sense enough to see it''s going to be nip and tuck if we ever get out of this?
10213He had struck her.... What had come over him?
10213He has gone?
10213He has left you alone here?"
10213He heard a girl''s voice:"But_ who_ is he?
10213He hesitated, then said harshly:"Would you have married him?"
10213He is n''t going to eat me, is he?
10213He loved her, did he?
10213He sat up, demanding:"Has Ben come?"
10213He told himself that with savage emphasis, but he asked: could he let her go?
10213He''ll claim his share, wo n''t he?
10213Her eyes were thoughtful; would he always be good to her?
10213Her mother said"Yes?"
10213Here was the matter of his perplexity; did they know all that he did?
10213Here?
10213His first thought, making his body tense with anger, was that he had not come in time to save her from Brodie''s hands.... What was Gloria doing?
10213Hoping to influence his decision, she said quickly:"Had n''t we better turn back now?"
10213How could a girl like Gloria, with all of her surety of her own decisions, understand a man like King?
10213How could a man like Mark King quite understand a girl like Gloria?
10213How had she so much as tolerated him?
10213How had she thought well of him down in the city?
10213How soon would he return?
10213Hurt----Say, you ai n''t Ben Gaynor''s daughter, are you?"
10213I ca n''t say any more than that, can I?
10213I get just half that; that leaves half a million, do n''t it?
10213I have built the fire; will you get up?"
10213I thought I made you see how I was placed, how there was but the one thing for me to do....""Marry Gratton or me?
10213I wonder if I am insane?"
10213I wonder if you would come down-- if I asked you to?
10213I''ll give a bottle of whiskey for her; hey, Brodie?"
10213I''m to go?"
10213I----""But_ where_ are you?
10213I----""What has happened, child?
10213I... Oh, wo n''t you let me go?
10213If Swen Brodie were sure enough of what he was about to rid himself of Andy Parker, what would he not do with old Honeycutt?
10213If he ever fought Swen Brodie, just man to man, with only the weapons nature gave them, what would the end be?
10213If her hand but lay in the hand of Mark King, what did gold matter?
10213If it were answered that she was married to Mark King, there would be the question:"And where, my dear, is this Mark King?"
10213If they went on horseback nearly all the way, and travelled light?
10213If you know where it is?"
10213If you popped him off now, how would we know where to look?"
10213In God''s name,_ where_?"
10213In her distorted vision, blurred by passionate anger, she cried out quickly:"So, now that the odds are against you, you come cringing to me, do you?"
10213Is he hurt?"
10213Is it, perhaps, the rancid butter that you adore?"
10213Is it_ yes_?"
10213Is n''t a girl''s hair a terrible affliction, Mr. King?
10213Is that why you are in a hurry now?"
10213Is that why you married me?
10213Is that you?"
10213It is hard to believe, is n''t it?
10213It was only a lark; I meant innocently, you know that, do n''t you, Gloria?"
10213It''s irregular; do n''t know as I might n''t get in trouble for it----""The marriage would be binding, would n''t it?"
10213It''s lots of fun, too, in its own way, do n''t you think?
10213It''s settled?
10213It''s you, is it, King?"
10213June it was, was n''t it?
10213Just what?
10213Just where had Brodie gone?
10213Kind of surprising ai n''t it, Mark?"
10213King was gone?
10213King?"
10213Look alive, will you?
10213May I come in, Gloria?"
10213Me or Steve?"
10213Mr. King is a gentleman, is n''t he?
10213Must I tell you twice that I am through with you?"
10213My God-- have I gone mad?"
10213New- lookin'', ai n''t it, Mark?
10213No?
10213Not over an hour, he estimated; if she was n''t tired?
10213Not since she and Gratton, motoring up from San Francisco, had stopped at the wayside lunch- counter?
10213Now Gloria mused aloud:"I wonder-- do you suppose we''ll find it as he says?"
10213Now, which is it?"
10213Of herself, of him, of everything----"Is it you, Mark?"
10213Of what?
10213Oh, the coffee; you ca n''t make coffee without water, can you?"
10213Oh,"she exclaimed, twisting at her hands,"how can I tell what I would have done?
10213Or a Honeycutt?
10213Or did it not begin to bear down upon her uncertain spirit?
10213Or dresses-- or what people thought or said of her or him?
10213Or had it sensed her presence?
10213Or had they followed his trail?
10213Or had they merely such a hint as would lead them as close as this?
10213Or is the lady mine?
10213Or she was finding herself?
10213Or was it she who had been unstable, she who was the chameleon?
10213Or were the clouds crowding over it again?
10213Or would her chair hold quite another sort of person-- Mrs. Gratton?
10213Or would it have been"No"?
10213Papa wanted that?"
10213Presently he said:"Do you think we are ever going to get out of this alive?"
10213Rather, it pleased; what word of praise had she heard during these latter days?
10213Reversion to an ancient order of things, eh?
10213Same as folks?
10213Shall I stand back for a girl''s nervous whim?
10213Shall we go to- morrow?"
10213She bent close to them and heard his wondering whisper:"Every-- thing-- all right?"
10213She called anxiously:"Mark, where are you?"
10213She came back to the fire; thirty, thirty- five?
10213She could hear the beating of his heart-- or was it her own?
10213She had hardly the time to ask herself:"Just where am I going?"
10213She kissed her mother and added:"I did n''t tell Mark good- night--""_ Mark_?
10213She looked interested and treated him to a fleeting smile, but asked curiously:"How can a man speak of a tree that way?
10213She saw how the big beast put up its head and sniffed; did it in reality smell the meat?
10213She was alone, yes; but if some day she would marry him, was not now the time?
10213She watched King wonderingly as he hastened on; did the man have no sense of bodily discomfort?
10213She watched that little strip of heaven''s blue eagerly and anxiously; was it widening?
10213She wondered if he would miss her soon; how soon?
10213Shoved him over?"
10213Since you got back this last trip, figuring you might have a word with the sheriff?"
10213Some one?
10213Some time you are going to give yourself to me, are n''t you, dear?
10213Spalding, not given to stepping lively at other men''s commands, was slow in answering, and then spoke drawlingly:"Wanted, am I?
10213Stark, staring, raving mad?
10213Step lively;_ where is it_?"
10213Tell me, Mark, what can I do?
10213Tell me; why do n''t you tell me?"
10213That Brodie is worse?
10213That breeze came down through the pines; it wandered free; why could n''t she, Gloria, be like that?
10213That he''s a double- dealing scoundrel?
10213That means he''s getting hot on the trail of it, does n''t it?
10213That neither is hardly the sort for a girl to trust herself to in a place like this?"
10213That they did n''t even know where to go?
10213That they''d never know where to find you?"
10213That would mean several days alone for Gloria; but what else was there?
10213That"Are you ready?"
10213That''s a nice little she- trick, ai n''t it?
10213That''s where it is?"
10213The cry came again, as near as before-- nearer?
10213The others?"
10213The terrifying thought electrified her:"What if he had deserted her?
10213The voice, though very weak, sharpened perceptibly:"You, who are you?"
10213The way in is not overwide; would they see it from below?
10213The"judge,"hurrying along, had asked:"And do you take this man to be your wedded husband?"
10213Their eyes were starting out of their sockets; their faces were turning purple-- or was it the firelight?
10213Then Gloria came and they called to her, demanding:"_ Who_ is he?"
10213Then his brows shot up and he demanded:"You mean Brodie did for him?
10213Then it''s you?"
10213Then she said brightly:"This is our third little picnic together, is n''t it?"
10213Then she stopped and tried to think; how many paces had King said?
10213Then, what?
10213Then:"By what right do_ you_ issue orders to_ me_?"
10213There were the lines, staring at her, as though King had rewritten Kipling:"_ Who hath smelt wood- smoke at twilight?
10213Thereafter?
10213They go busted, do n''t they, sometimes?
10213Think Ben''s goin''to be pleased?
10213Think I''m old, do you?"
10213This afternoon-- to- night-- to- morrow?
10213Too mannish?
10213Understand that, Gloria?"
10213Understand?"
10213Uninured to hardship, her delicate body was already beaten; with still further hardship to come might she not-- die?
10213Until----?
10213Was he a man without imagination as he seemed to be without fear?
10213Was he taken there?"
10213Was it there that Gus Ingle''s caves awaited them?
10213Was n''t I settin''right side by side with Gus Ingle when that happened?
10213Was n''t I there?"
10213Was that it?"
10213Was that journey''s end?
10213Was the man crazy?
10213Was there a King with Gus Ingle''s crowd?
10213Was there a price tag on him?
10213We are down to bare elementals now; ca n''t you see it?
10213We do n''t care, do we?
10213What about me?
10213What are you after, here in the mountains?"
10213What are you thinking?"
10213What business of his is it if Mr. Gratton does go to Coloma, or anywhere else?"
10213What can I do?
10213What chance is there for two interpretations there?
10213What could I do?
10213What could he do?
10213What did she want?
10213What do you mean, sheriff?"
10213What do you suppose we want of you?
10213What does he say?"
10213What good did it do him?
10213What had she to do with_ The Explorer_ and_ Snarleyow_ and_ Boots_ and_ The Feet of the Young Men_?
10213What if he had no intention of coming back?"
10213What if, instead of doing the gentlemanly thing, I refused to marry you?
10213What is it?"
10213What now?
10213What shall I tell every one?
10213What shape''s the cupboard in?"
10213What were fatigue and hunger when hope attended them?
10213What''s that?"
10213What''s the word?
10213What, exactly, did she feel?
10213What--_what_ do you mean?"
10213What_ could_ she have been thinking of?
10213When had she eaten last?
10213When he nodded she looked up at him again, hesitated, and then demanded:"You like me, do n''t you?"
10213When she saw him the second time look at the sun she got up from the ground and said:"Time to go on?
10213When they heard her mother in the doorway calling,"Gloria, where are you?"
10213Where did this come from?"
10213Where do you come in?"
10213Where do you get that stuff?
10213Where is the rest of it?
10213Where were the trunks and suitcases and hat- boxes to accompany the young bride?
10213Where were you all night?
10213Where?
10213Which is it, Ben?
10213While this man is still here, wo n''t you let him marry us?
10213Who are you for, Bright- Eyes?
10213Who hath heard the birch log burning?
10213Who is quick to read the noises of the night?_"And the answer was:"Mark King."
10213Who said so?"
10213Who''s in the house, then?"
10213Who, then, Mark?"
10213Why did n''t you_ tell_ me?
10213Why do you make such a fuss over it all?
10213Why had he done that?
10213Why had n''t he tossed the telegram across the table for her to read?
10213Why was it more lonesome here than it had been back there in the mountains?
10213Will he?
10213Will you come on and take a fall for her?
10213Will you forgive me for having, however unintentionally, placed you in a wrong light?
10213Will you give me the right to protect you, to defend your good name?
10213Will you many me, Mark King?"
10213Will you start without any delay?
10213Will you, Gloria?"
10213With my side just healin''did n''t I make my way through the snow out to where he was----""His cabin on Lookout?"
10213With never a hint to any one?"
10213Wo n''t you come, Gloria?
10213Would he begin to see, that she was at least, and at last, trying?
10213Would he hurry after her, would he bring her back forcibly?...
10213Would he take the message?
10213Would it be all right if I got a man to drive you back?
10213Would n''t it?"
10213Would she have said"Yes"?
10213Yes or no?"
10213You ai n''t sick, are you?"
10213You brought a message to King here?"
10213You but chose me as the lesser of two evils?
10213You did n''t hear down in San Francisco that I was hurt, did you?"
10213You do n''t mind, do you, Mark?"
10213You do n''t want to make me sorry I ever invited you here, do you?"
10213You saw Honeycutt; could you get anything out of him?"
10213You understand me, do n''t you?"
10213You will go right to bed?
10213You will marry me?"
10213You''ll pardon me if I put matters into one- syllable words?
10213You?
10213_ Chapter VI_"You are sure you wo n''t be gone more than an hour?"
10213_ Did she love Mark King_?
10213_ Why?_ Never a"why"so insistent in all of the girl''s lifetime.
10213am I, a man full grown, to loiter on the trail with the like of you?
10213driven one way, torn another----""You might have married him?
17614A message? 17614 Ai n''t you-- eh-- goin''on down town?"
17614Am I to understand you are again in the service?
17614Am I, then, not old enough to know my own mind?
17614An''what did ye mane ter be doin''wid the young gyurl?
17614And her answer?
17614And my mother?
17614And now you want to try a turn at defaming a woman? 17614 And so you''re ashamed of me, are you?"
17614And the young lady?
17614And what is it you wish me to do?
17614And why not, Wyman? 17614 And you do not mean, even now, to make clear the mystery?"
17614And you never even hear from him?
17614And you? 17614 And yours also?"
17614Any life, sergeant?
17614Anything going on to- night worth while, Jim?
17614Are the horses out in herd?
17614Are you a church member?
17614Are you not coming also?
17614Are you sure? 17614 Ashamed to be seen walking with me?
17614At least eighteen, is she not? 17614 Bob Hampton attacked by a mob?
17614Brant of the Seventh?
17614Brant, do you love that girl?
17614Brant? 17614 Buck,"exclaimed Moffat,"how did that feller McNeil, and those other cow- punchers, get in here?
17614But do you feel no curiosity as to who I may be?
17614But how do you know?
17614But your elders? 17614 By Bob Hampton?"
17614By Murphy?
17614By confessing that I am your ideal?
17614By whom?
17614Can we?
17614Can you give me a fresh horse, a bite to eat, and a cup of coffee, down there?
17614Could you inform me where I might find Silent Murphy, a government scout?
17614D Troop? 17614 Dad?
17614Did Miss Gillis authorize you to thank me for these courtesies?
17614Did he-- old Gillis, I mean-- claim to be your father, or her husband?
17614Did it interest you?
17614Did n''t want me?
17614Did she tell you about it?
17614Did ye say, Murphy, as how it was n''t Nolan after all who plugged the Major?
17614Did you leave it at home?
17614Did you overhear him say anything definite about his plans for the trip?
17614Did you-- did you ever hear either of them say anything about Major Alfred Brant? 17614 Do n''t see nuthin''now, do ye?"
17614Do n''t you understand yet?
17614Do ye think-- I''m afeard o''yer-- shootin''? 17614 Do you believe those things you do not understand?"
17614Do you know Murphy?
17614Do you know her?
17614Do you know who I am?
17614Do you mean Billy McNeil, over on Sinsiniwa Creek?
17614Do you mean it? 17614 Do you mean to insinuate that that young woman is living in this community under an assumed one?
17614Do you mean to insinuate that there is an understanding, an engagement between you?
17614Do you mean you are in direct communication with headquarters, with Custer?
17614Do you suppose it can be he?
17614Do you think I look nice?
17614Do you yield to moods?
17614Do-- do you mistake me for an enlisted man?
17614Do-- do you really think it would be proper? 17614 Do-- do you really want me to stick it out here, Bob?"
17614Does he know why this can not be?
17614Does she make light of his faith?
17614En''whar-- do ye expect-- me ter say-- all this, pervidin'', of course-- I wus fule''nough-- ter do it?
17614For God''s sake, Weir, what are you fellows waiting here for?
17614For me? 17614 Friend of the family, perhaps?"
17614Go on? 17614 Goin''to get married, Bob?"
17614Good Lord, Naida, do you think I''m low down enough to go out hunting that poor cuss merely to get even with him for trying to stick me with a knife? 17614 Has Miss Gillis arrived?"
17614Has he roused up?
17614Has he shown himself here at the camp?
17614Has the man any signs of a wound, sergeant?
17614Have you any such in mind?
17614Have you heard anything lately, Bob, about the Seventh?
17614Have you truly been at the hall,she questioned,"or were you merely fibbing to awaken my interest?"
17614Have-- have you any water left?
17614Heard-- of me-- maybe?
17614Hev''ye got''em agin?
17614His name was Gillis, was n''t it?
17614How did they git yere?
17614How do you know?
17614How far away?
17614How far will he have to ride?
17614How is it as between man and woman?
17614How many horses did he have?
17614How old are you, Naida?
17614How''d ye git yere? 17614 How, then, did she even know of our meeting?"
17614How-- eh-- did you happen to-- eh-- recognize the church?
17614How? 17614 I am afraid you do not greatly admire this Miss Spencer?"
17614I have not even seen him for such a long time; but-- but, I guess, he is more to me than any one else--"Not seen him? 17614 I presume, then, she is not present?"
17614I think not, sir; who is he?
17614I think quite likely, uncle; would n''t he make a splendid addition to Mr. Wynkoop''s church?
17614I-- I do n''t believe he is an Episcopalian; do you?
17614I? 17614 I?
17614I? 17614 If I select your bullet rather than the rocks, what then?"
17614Indeed? 17614 Indeed?
17614Indeed? 17614 Indeed?"
17614Innocent? 17614 Is Custer here?"
17614Is Hampton dead?
17614Is he a- doin''this little job all by hisself?
17614Is that all you know?
17614Is that all?
17614Is that all?
17614Is that him?
17614Is that right?
17614Is that so?
17614Is that you, Hampton?
17614Is thet so?
17614Is-- is he dead?
17614Is-- is she dead?
17614It is extremely close in here, do n''t you think?
17614It is so good of you, Mr. Moffat, for I realize how you were counting upon this first dance, were n''t you? 17614 It was, How do I stand in your sight?
17614It''s that awful Murphy, is n''t it?
17614Kid,he exclaimed, harshly,"what does this mean?
17614Kid,he said at last,"are you game for a try at getting out of this?"
17614Kill whom?
17614Lieutenant Brant, what can you mean? 17614 Lieutenant Brant, you here?"
17614May I ask his name?
17614May I walk beside you until you meet him?
17614Me? 17614 Might I see her?"
17614Mighty pretty, was n''t she?
17614Mine?
17614Miss Spencer,he asked,"may I inquire if you possess such a phenomenon as a''star''pupil?"
17614Mr. Moffat? 17614 Mr. Wynkoop?
17614Mrs. Herndon, were you seeking your lost charge? 17614 My question was, Who is at the head of this outfit?
17614Naida Gillis? 17614 Naida,"he said, gravely,"I have come back, as I said I would, and surely I read welcome in your eyes?"
17614Never carry a knife, do ye?
17614No? 17614 Now-- now-- you, you gray- eyed-- devil, kin I-- sit up?"
17614Oh, did you hear what-- what he said?
17614Oh, did you? 17614 Oh, is n''t that simply beautiful?
17614Oh, my father? 17614 Oh, reformed has he?
17614Oh, that''s it? 17614 Oh, they do?
17614Oh, was that it? 17614 Oh, ye do, hey?
17614Oh, you have, have you, Mister Bob Hampton? 17614 Post- trader at Fort Bethune?"
17614Red Slavin?
17614Relative?
17614Reno, you mean? 17614 Rescue her from whut, Jack?
17614Robert Nolan? 17614 Run across many hostiles in that region?"
17614Save any-- eh-- locks of their hair?
17614Say it once more, sweetheart?
17614Say, gents,--eh-- that feller had his spiel all right-- eh-- ain''t he? 17614 Shall I paint in exceedingly plain words the picture given me of you?"
17614Shall it be at ten?
17614Since-- since N Troop left here?
17614Sioux?
17614So you have been eavesdropping, have you?
17614Sorter hurts yer perfessional feelins, do n''t it, old feller, to be dropped in on in this unceremonious way? 17614 Sure, and did n''t ye know him?"
17614Surely you could not desire to be left here alone? 17614 Tell me, at least, this-- is it some one else?
17614Tell me, will he live?
17614That is about what I said, was n''t it? 17614 The Reverend Howard Wynkoop, the Prasbytarian Missionary-- wouldn''t thet cork ye?"
17614The end? 17614 The gambler?
17614The hell!--and-- did-- she-- call you-- Brant?
17614The scout? 17614 The whites do n''t scalp, do they?"
17614Then it is true that you do not love me?
17614They tell you, do they?
17614To whom do you refer? 17614 To whom?"
17614Was Gillis your father?
17614Was he ever a soldier in the Seventh?
17614Was he real nice- looking?
17614Was her name Naida? 17614 Was n''t it awful?"
17614Was n''t it perfectly ridiculous? 17614 Was that all?"
17614Was that the lad''s name?
17614Was that what caused you to appear so distant to me in the hall, so vastly different from what you had been before?
17614Watson,he questioned, as the latter saluted and stood at attention,"do you know a man called Silent Murphy?"
17614Well, Bane,and the officer eyed his trim appearance with manifest approval,"what did you succeed in learning?"
17614Well, Billy,was Hampton''s friendly greeting,"are they keeping you fairly busy with''wars and rumors of wars''these days?"
17614Well, Jack,the latter began expectantly,"hev ye railly got the cinch on that cowboy at last, hey?"
17614Well, Mr. Bob Hampton,she questioned, plainly,"what is this going to be?"
17614Well, my lad, you are not dumb, are you?
17614Well,he said, inquiringly,"what does all this mean?"
17614Whar''d-- ye say ye-- wus bound?
17614What are you doing? 17614 What becomes of them?"
17614What can you mean?
17614What do ye-- want me fer?
17614What do you make of it?
17614What do you mean? 17614 What do you mean?"
17614What does it mean? 17614 What does the doctor say about Hampton?"
17614What face?
17614What is her name?
17614What is it now?
17614What is it, man?
17614What is it, now, Lane?
17614What is it?
17614What is it?
17614What is this Brant doing at Bethune? 17614 What is your name?"
17614What limit?
17614What sort of a looking man, Miss Spencer?
17614What step?
17614What thing?
17614What ye got against him, young feller?
17614What''s the matter? 17614 What''s-- your-- regiment?"
17614What, him? 17614 What?"
17614When?
17614Where are the men?
17614Where did you get this?
17614Where is Custer?
17614Where is Murphy, then? 17614 Where is Murphy?"
17614Where is he now?
17614Where?
17614Who are you? 17614 Who are you?"
17614Who are you?
17614Who gave you any right to decide what I should do?
17614Who is that fine- looking young officer?
17614Who is the man? 17614 Who is this fellow Murphy?"
17614Who sent you to me?
17614Who tell you?
17614Who''s running the game over at the Occidental?
17614Who-- am I?
17614Who-- the hell-- are ye?
17614Who-- who is she?
17614Who?
17614Who?
17614Whole-- eh-- bunch drop dead from fright?
17614Whose?
17614Whut did ye hit me fer, ye long- legged minin''jackass?
17614Whut is all this fuss about, anyhow?
17614Whut is up?
17614Whut''s got ter be Injuns?
17614Why did you not come down there, and report your presence in this neighborhood to me?
17614Why is it I am to be thus honored?
17614Why''just at this time''?
17614Why, Naida, is this you, child? 17614 Why, Naida, what do you think?
17614Why, had n''t you heard? 17614 Why?"
17614Why?
17614Will you kindly permit me to pass?
17614Will you take him?
17614Will you tell me the story?
17614Will you walk outside with me?
17614Without Bob Hampton?
17614Ye are? 17614 Yes, but who is it?"
17614Yes; but-- but do n''t you know who I am?
17614Yes; do you understand now why I trust this Bob Hampton?
17614Yes; what is it, sergeant? 17614 You believe in me now?
17614You do n''t know? 17614 You have been seeking me?
17614You have heard nothing?
17614You have seen him? 17614 You indorse, then, the claims he advances?"
17614You kissed me once; will you again?
17614You leave me so completely in the dark,he said, finally;"is there no possibility that this mysterious obstacle can ever be removed?"
17614You mean as a student?
17614You mean she said you would have to cut me out entirely if you stayed there with her?
17614You mean there is something-- some person, perhaps-- standing between?
17614You mean we should start now?
17614You mean your sudden determination to carry me home with you?
17614You never knew him, did you, Cook?
17614You told her how very foolish I acted?
17614You truly think she would wish it?
17614You were discussing me? 17614 You will forgive me?
17614You will go?
17614You will not quarrel?
17614You will, at least, tell me why?
17614You wish to know the truth?
17614You''re Mrs. Herndon, ai n''t you? 17614 You-- you really want me to go, do n''t you?"
17614You? 17614 All that can possibly be done to aid Hampton I shall do-- will you go?
17614Am I to understand this to be your wish?"
17614Am I to understand you are actually uncertain whether this man was your father or not?"
17614Am I to understand you have some particular object in this exchange of amenities?"
17614An''ca n''t ye see?
17614And are you the instrument that has worked such a miracle?"
17614And did n''t you fight at all?"
17614And did n''t you know?
17614And do you know your questioning is becoming quite personal?
17614And is it no longer right to search after the truth?"
17614And what did ye do wid the young lady, Oi make bould to ask?"
17614And with no explanation?"
17614And yet you dare pretend now to retain an interest in me?
17614Any shootin''?"
17614Are things developing into a truly serious affair-- a real campaign?"
17614Are you especially interested in prodigies?"
17614Are you false, or true?
17614Are you going up those bluffs?
17614Are you sick, Murphy?"
17614Are you that man who brought her out of the canyon?"
17614As president of the Bachelors''Club it is your right, of course, but do n''t you truly think I ought to give it to Mr. McNeil?
17614Brant''s troop?"
17614But I believe I have a right to ask, what do you intend for the future?
17614But from your appearance this can not always have been your home?"
17614But they do things so differently out here, do n''t they?
17614But what is the trouble?
17614But, Bob, I need you so much, and you will come back, wo n''t you?
17614But-- but you will help him, wo n''t you, for my sake?"
17614Can it be that I have resided with you, off and on, for ten years past without your ever realizing the fond yearnings of my heart?
17614Can not one act a lie as well as speak one?
17614Can not you understand?"
17614Can this be you, Hampton?"
17614Can you locate me and make a dash for it?
17614Can you remember that?"
17614Can you wonder that I hardly know how I stand in your sight?"
17614Caught no sight of the feller after ye got up?"
17614Coquette, or woman?
17614Could it concern his own future, as well as hers?
17614Could this strange journey have anything to do with Naida?
17614Did I not tell you that we Presbyterians are never guilty of such indiscretions?"
17614Did he want you to bring me to Sunday school?
17614Did n''t I know you was a gambler, and a''bad man''?
17614Did n''t I tell you plain enough out yonder,"--and her voice faltered slightly,--"just what I thought about you?
17614Did n''t I understand exactly who you was, and what was your business?
17614Did n''t you know they employed music at both functions nowadays?
17614Did you call me for some special reason?"
17614Did you happen to notice a peculiar black scar on the back of his right hand?"
17614Did you know him?"
17614Did-- did you kill him?"
17614Do I state this fairly, Naida?"
17614Do men and women there continually scheme and flirt, smile and stab, forever assuming parts like so many play- actors?"
17614Do n''t I have-- eh-- no show?"
17614Do n''t I know?
17614Do n''t care quite as much about it as you did, do you?"
17614Do n''t you see?"
17614Do n''t you think he ever questions as I do?
17614Do n''t you, Howard?
17614Do n''t you?"
17614Do not they share the responsibility of passing upon such applications?"
17614Do ye take these yere turns often?
17614Do you believe that sort of a fellow would prove a very good kind to look after a young lady?"
17614Do you claim to be Custer''s scout?"
17614Do you feel strong enough now to make another attempt to reach the top?"
17614Do you know if Mr. Hampton is really going to die?
17614Do you know the old Shasta mine?"
17614Do you mean Major Brant, the one Nolan killed over at Bethune?"
17614Do you mean old Gillis''s girl?
17614Do you mean old Gillis?"
17614Do you mean the mine- owner, Jack Moffat?"
17614Do you mean to say Mr. Hampton is not here in Glencaid?
17614Do you mean to say they come in through the roof?"
17614Do you mean to say you brought it through from there?"
17614Do you own this country?"
17614Do you question his being guilty?"
17614Do you really suppose he is content?
17614Do you simply play with hearts for idle amusement, or is there some true purpose ruling your actions?"
17614Do you think I am here to be played with?
17614Do you truly believe in his reform?"
17614Do you understand me, darling?
17614Do you understand now?
17614Do?
17614Does n''t he understand?
17614Does n''t the man know?
17614Does that yield me an equal privilege?"
17614Drag her about from camp to camp?
17614Educate her among the contaminating poison of gambling- holes and dance- halls?
17614Ever have a rope dangled in front of your eyes, sergeant, and a gun- barrel biting into your cheek at the same time?
17614Ever remember your mother?"
17614Everything about seems to exhale the spirit of romance; do n''t you find it so?"
17614Fifteen years?
17614For what reason, pray?"
17614From lip to lip passed the one vital question:"In God''s name, where is Reno?
17614Going?
17614Guffy?"
17614Guffy?"
17614Have I not guessed aright?"
17614Have those awful creatures gone?"
17614Have you any reason to suspect that he was not Naida Gillis''s father?"
17614He drew her hand through his arm, and said:"And then you will pledge me the first dance following?"
17614He entertained no doubt regarding the enmity of the big gambler, or his desire to"get even"for all past injuries; but how much did he know?
17614He seems almost to exercise some power of magic over her, do n''t you think?"
17614He wants to be-- eh-- the whole hog, but-- eh,--I reckon this is a-- eh-- free country, ai n''t it?
17614Herndon?"
17614Herndon?"
17614Herndon?"
17614His voice faltered sadly, yet succeeded in asking:"Are we, then, never to meet again?
17614How could I have ever been so blind?
17614How could I venture to believe you would ever really care in that way for such a waif as I?
17614How could he bring him forth from there alive?
17614How could it be so small?"
17614How did the thing happen?"
17614How do you get up there?"
17614How do you manage to get across here?"
17614How is your work prospering?"
17614How very nice that he should happen to arrive just at this time, is n''t it?"
17614How''d ye come ter know-- whar I wus?"
17614I have n''t been begging to stick with you, have I?
17614I know I am a perfect heathen,--Miss Spencer says I am,--but do you think it is so awful for me to want to know these things?"
17614I reckon you fellers will stand in all right ter help pull me out o''this hole?"
17614I tell you things looked mighty skittish for me just then, but what do you suppose I did with''em?"
17614I want to please him, and I admire his intellectual attainments; but how can he accept so much on faith, and be content?
17614I-- I do not believe you and Miss Spencer conversed in this way?"
17614If so, did Hampton know about it?
17614In God''s name, what human could be out there to call?
17614Indians?"
17614Is Mr. McNeil in your church?"
17614Is her home hereafter to be the saloon and the rough frontier hotel?
17614Is it Hampton?"
17614Is it because you do not like me?"
17614Is it not a woman''s privilege?
17614Is it possible you are the same we rescued on the prairie two years ago?"
17614Is it possible you can have been acting again?"
17614Is it this way in all society-- Eastern society, I mean?
17614Is it wrong-- unwomanly, I mean-- for me to question spiritual things?"
17614Is it your desire to return to the hall?"
17614Is n''t a soldier''s life a worthy one?"
17614Is n''t it a perfect shame for such a man to throw himself away like that?"
17614Is n''t it odd what such a man could possibly want with her?
17614Is n''t it perfectly delightful what he is going to do for her?"
17614Is she Captain Nolan''s daughter?
17614Is that true, Phoebe?
17614Is that true?"
17614Is that you, Marshal?"
17614Is that your meaning?"
17614Is the tale true?"
17614Is there anything in it?"
17614Is this another sign of your impractical mind?"
17614Is this man goin''after them, sir?"
17614Is this the Seventh-- the Seventh?--skulking here under cover while Custer begs help?
17614Is-- is Mr. Moffat a member of your church?"
17614Just what happened to give you such a change of heart?"
17614Keep her with you?
17614Kin I sit up?
17614Know?
17614McNeil?"
17614Men, do you happen to know what sort of a cur you are following in this affair?"
17614Miss Naida, is it now your desire that I leave you?"
17614Mr. Moffat, Mr. McNeil, Mr. Mason, surely you will grant me release this once?"
17614My father?"
17614Not Gillis?"
17614Now he had work to accomplish in the open; he was going to stay with the Kid-- after that,_ quien sabe_?
17614Now is n''t he a sweet specimen to lead in the avenging of a supposed crime?"
17614Now kin I cum on?"
17614Now will you go?"
17614Now, damn you, what is your little game?"
17614Of course not; but what do you mean by that?
17614Oh, Lieutenant, is n''t it the most romantic situation that ever was?
17614People do n''t take such things so seriously nowadays, do they?
17614People use their given names almost entirely out here in the West, do n''t they?"
17614Perhaps you will kindly explain?"
17614Please do not question me any more; can not you see how I am suffering?
17614Pretty tune, that one I was whistling, do n''t you think?
17614Rather odd place for us to meet, is n''t it?
17614Recognize anybody in that first bunch?"
17614Shall I conduct you to him?"
17614Shall I go, or stay?
17614Shall we not be seated?"
17614She is your''star''pupil, then?"
17614Should he attempt to learn more about the young girl?
17614So it is a try?"
17614Something either in or about Glencaid was compelling Murphy to keep out of sight-- but what?
17614Starving?"
17614Sure, an''what do ye think of thet?"
17614Surely you can not expect that I would seek such an opportunity?"
17614Surely, Lieutenant, it can not be possible that you have become interested in her?"
17614Tell me, is not this a fairly drawn portrait of your Miss Spencer?"
17614The horror of it overwhelmed Hampton; not only did this unexpected denouement leave him utterly hopeless, but what was he to do with the fellow?
17614Then maybe you might manage to rush a message through for me to Fort A. Lincoln, without discommoding Uncle Sam?"
17614Then somebody''s been stirring you up about me, have they?
17614There could remain no reasonable doubt of his identity, but what was he doing there?
17614There was a considerable pause; then the speaker asked, calmly,"Is he married?"
17614There, I''ve told it all; do you really think I am so very bad, because-- because I like Bob Hampton?"
17614They are fighting at the Shasta dump, you say?
17614This trip with Murphy has some bearing upon Naida Gillis, has it not?"
17614Under such conditions you wo n''t mind my kissing you out here, will you?"
17614Was it caused by an Indian arrow?"
17614Was n''t it you I heard whistling just now?
17614Was that all she said?"
17614Was there ever any doubt?
17614Was there, indeed, some secret in the life history of this young girl?--some story of shame, perhaps?
17614Well, why do n''t you altogether decide?
17614What are you doing alone here?"
17614What business has that fellow got planning what I shall do?"
17614What can it be?
17614What can you mean?"
17614What could the fellow have meant?
17614What did follow?"
17614What did you talk about?
17614What do you advise doing?"
17614What do you mean, man?"
17614What else would you expect of one possessing my kindly disposition and well- known motives of philanthropy?
17614What else?"
17614What happened?
17614What has become of the rest of the boys?"
17614What in thunder do ye want o''him?
17614What is his given name?"
17614What is it I have done?"
17614What is it ye think ye see?"
17614What is it?"
17614What is it?"
17614What is that figure 7 on your hat for?"
17614What peculiar power did he wield over her life?
17614What purpose underlay his insinuations against that young girl?
17614What sort of a wild beast do you suppose I am?"
17614What special benefit did he hope to gain from conferring with Naida Gillis?
17614What was it that Murphy said?"
17614What was it?"
17614What was the trouble?
17614What was there in common between that outcast, and this well- groomed, frankly spoken young woman?
17614What were they?"
17614What''s his name?"
17614What''s the blame odds?
17614What''s the use?
17614What, then, would ever induce such a man to open his mouth in confession of a long- hidden crime?
17614Where have you been all this time?"
17614Where is he?"
17614Where was it?"
17614Where''s my-- horse?"
17614Which way should they turn?
17614Whipped?
17614Who and what are you?"
17614Who are you, anyhow?
17614Who is in danger, and from what?"
17614Who is leading this outfit?"
17614Who was it, Bob?"
17614Who was the feller?"
17614Who-- else was it?"
17614Who?
17614Who?"
17614Whose picture?"
17614Why are you here?"
17614Why did n''t you want me?"
17614Why did you not say so at first?
17614Why not have him?"
17614Why should I suspect thoughts that come to me naturally?
17614Why should they?
17614Why should they?
17614Why was he here and with Murphy?
17614Why were they kept lying there in idleness?
17614Why were they not pushed forward to do their part?
17614Why, Mr. McNeil, you surely do not intend to question the truth of Mr. Moffat''s narrative?"
17614Why, how did that happen?"
17614Why, indeed, should I think otherwise?
17614Why, may I ask?
17614Why, you arrived only this morning, and do you mean to say you have met already?"
17614Why-- why did you come here?"
17614Will you go back to Bethune with me-- back to the old regiment as my wife?"
17614Will you go to Mrs. Herndon''s, and find out how you like it?
17614Will you not say yes?"
17614Will you promise to let me take him down to Cheyenne fer trial?"
17614With this recognized as a fact, was he justified in endeavoring to win Naida Gillis for himself?
17614Wo n''t you come in?"
17614Wo n''t you?"
17614Would you mind giving me some details of your meeting?"
17614Would you mind telling me the names of the two gentlemen?"
17614Wynkoop?"
17614Wynkoop?"
17614Ye ai n''t gone cracked, hev ye?
17614Yet who was he?
17614You accept the trust, I believe?"
17614You carry despatches, you say?
17614You do n''t suppose I''m going to have any useless girl like you hanging around on to me, do you?"
17614You do not care?"
17614You do not go away blaming me?"
17614You have not been hurt, Lieutenant Brant?"
17614You have not known?
17614You know me.--However, as you seem to shy over my first question, I''ll honor you with a second,--Where''s Silent Murphy?"
17614You love him, do n''t you, Naida?"
17614You lying whelp, are you ready to die?"
17614You see this uniform?
17614You was n''t planning to strike out after him, was you?"
17614You will do that, wo n''t you?"
17614You will promise, wo n''t you?"
17614You will, wo n''t you, Lieutenant?"
17614You would n''t truly mind yielding up your claim for just this once, would you?"
17614You''re old man Gillis''s gal from Bethune, ai n''t ye?"
17614Your proof?"
17614_ Sabe_?"
17614_ Sabe_?"
17614do you realize what you are saying?
17614had he become a child again, to tremble before imagined evil, a mere hobgoblin of the mind?
17614have n''t you heard?"
17614he exclaimed, in open triumph;"and have I, then, at last made fair capture of your secret?
17614he roared,"what do you mean?"
17614he ventured at last,"what is your proposition?"
17614her ideal of manhood the quarrelsome gambler, and of womanhood a painted harlot?
17614how could they be?
17614man, do you realize what you are saying?
17614one of those fellows who had these rooms?"
17614or has he actually succeeded in smothering every doubt?
17614roared one, hoarsely, his gun poised as if in threat,"what do you mean by riding us down like that?
17614was thet you?
17614which?
18926Ai n''t going to scalp him, are you, Bud?
18926Ai n''t you going to do what Trevors says?
18926Am I already going mad? 18926 Am I?"
18926Am I?
18926And Dennings?
18926And he told you that you were mistaken?
18926And mine?
18926And now,she added,"I''m sure that our hermit wo n''t mind if we peep into his library, will he?"
18926And you insisted on chloroform?
18926And you men here, my men, want me to be the sort of woman that your precious cousin, Dave Burril, is a man? 18926 Anything in her papers here that would tell us?"
18926Are n''t you magnifying things, Judith?
18926Are you going to play-- I''m your baby-- all day, Bud Lee?
18926Are you going to sell those three- year- olds for thirty- six hundred?
18926Aw, hell,he grunted as Lee demanded what influence had brought him with Shorty and Quinnion into this mad project,"let me alone, ca n''t you?"
18926Because you kissed me that night, Bud Lee?
18926Because,she insisted,"you know that there was some dirty work afoot and did not care to be messed up in it?"
18926Breaker of horses; hired man at a dollar a day----?
18926Bud Lee, eh? 18926 Bud, is it?"
18926Bud,called Carson''s voice sharply,"are you all right?"
18926But I am tired, and it is hot, is n''t it? 18926 But you understand now why I wanted to talk to you?
18926But, say, what does she want to butt in on a man''s- size job for, I want to know?
18926By the way,she said when the man with the voice which had sounded so boyish in her ears answered again,"who are you?"
18926Ca n''t I see?
18926Can you keep a secret with me, Bud Lee? 18926 Care if I mosey along?"
18926Cattle foreman there for several years?
18926Cattle foreman?
18926Come here, will you?
18926Come in right away, eh? 18926 Could you swear to him if we ever bring him in?
18926Counting those eleven Red Duke colts?
18926Damn it,he shouted,"whose fight is this but mine and Lee''s?
18926Did Carson say he had n''t anything for you?
18926Did n''t I stick a pig already this morning, and have I keeled over yet? 18926 Did she have an idea what the trouble was before she left?"
18926Did you know that pigeons could carry hog- cholera on their feet?
18926Did you know this man?
18926Did you write Miss Sanford a hurry- up note within the last few days?
18926Do I know God?
18926Do n''t I know every trail in this neck of the woods, Bud Lee? 18926 Do you know where he is?"
18926Do you need to be told,he asked her coolly,"that this is no sort of job for a girl?
18926Do you think it would be quite nice to her to stay away? 18926 Does this sale look the least little bit like Judith?"
18926Drunk?
18926Eh?
18926Enough? 18926 Fine day, is n''t it?"
18926Found it dead?
18926Get him for me as quick as you can, will you, please?
18926Get it hurt?
18926Going in?
18926Got enough?
18926Got enough?
18926Got everything ready for to- morrow?
18926Has he any love for Bayne Trevors?
18926Have I?
18926Have n''t got a flask of brandy on you, have you?
18926Have n''t had a real first- class fight for quite a bit, have you, Carson? 18926 Have you had any other word from Miss Sanford?"
18926Helped clean out the Roaring Creek gang did n''t you, Carson?
18926Hold- up or what?
18926How did you know that Trevors was working the double- cross on this deal?
18926How did you know this man was called Poker Face? 18926 How do I know what game you are up to?
18926How do you know that?
18926How do you know?
18926How long has he been here? 18926 How many men are with him?"
18926How many three- year- olds have you got in your string in Big Meadow?
18926How old are you this morning, Tommy?
18926How''d it happen they did n''t write to_ her_?
18926How''d you know?
18926How''s that?
18926How''s that?
18926How''s your hand?
18926How?
18926Huh?
18926Hurt much?
18926I ai n''t saying nothing,he growled,"only this: I got a right to quit, ai n''t I?
18926I ca n''t, ca n''t I?
18926I have n''t seen much of you this time, have I? 18926 I told you, did n''t I,"muttered Carson,"that I was n''t worrying none personal?
18926I wonder,explained Trevors,"if the boys understand just the size of the job I''ve got in my hands?
18926I''m dreadfully improper, am I not?
18926I''ve been terribly unconventional, have n''t I?
18926I''ve got a right to, if I want to, have n''t I? 18926 If I could n''t take care of myself do you think I''d be fool enough to take over a job like running the Blue Lake?
18926If Quinnion had done it, why did n''t Emmet Sawyer get the dead- wood on him?
18926If a man''s got the hunch an egg is bad,he mused,"is that a real good and sufficient reason why he should go poking his finger inside the shell?
18926If you''re on your way to little ol''Rocky hunting trouble, if they''s going to be shooting- fun, why ca n''t you let me in on it?
18926In San Francisco? 18926 Is he going to quit, too?
18926Is he the man to miss a chance that lay at his hand? 18926 Is it her style to go over our heads this way, Carson?
18926Is it?
18926Is it?
18926Is it?
18926Is n''t he splendid?
18926Is n''t here?
18926Is one of you men Bayne Trevors?
18926Is there something I can do for you, Miss Langworthy?
18926It ca n''t, ca n''t it?
18926It might be the Big Western Lumber Company?
18926Johnson, the ditch man, you mean? 18926 Judith has n''t put in an appearance and it''s growing late,"continued Hampton hastily"I''m afraid----""Afraid?
18926Just for that?
18926Just how do you know I''m square?
18926Just how far does that go, Lee?
18926Just what do you mean?
18926Know what hotel she is stopping at in the city?
18926Know who her lawyers are?
18926Lee challenges me, does n''t he? 18926 Like a man to be shot at dawn?"
18926Maybe I''d better go make the coffee?
18926Me stay an''let a she- girl boss me? 18926 Me?"
18926Me?
18926Me?
18926Mean that, lady?
18926Meaning horse sense?
18926Meaning just what?
18926Meaning me? 18926 Meaning young Hampton, I take it?"
18926Mr. Bagley? 18926 Mr. Hampton is n''t here, is he?"
18926No?
18926Not exactly what you''d call fresh, is it, Crowdy?
18926Not getting nerves? 18926 Now which way?"
18926Now you know who''s running this outfit, do n''t you?
18926Now, Lee, will you stick with me ten days or so and give me time to get a man in your place?
18926Now, Ward,she said quickly, her breathing hurried, her cheeks red,"what do you say?"
18926Now, have you got over your shock so that I can talk with you?
18926Now, what do you suppose she''s up to? 18926 Now,"and Melvin''s watch was in his hand, his voice coming with metallic coldness,"it''s to a finish, is it?
18926Nursin''a scratched leg? 18926 Oh, did n''t you know?"
18926On the level, Bud?
18926On your high horse, are you? 18926 Or wise man enough to do my own work when needs be, and when I''d have no bungling?
18926Pay me to keep me out of the way? 18926 Poker Face?
18926Prettier than ever, eh, Judy?
18926Put out the light now?
18926Rather a nice way for a cattle foreman to talk about his ranch, is n''t it?
18926Really, does that concern you? 18926 Riding, Bud?"
18926Run away, will you?
18926Say that again, will you?
18926Say, Bud, where in heck_ did_ you get that outfit? 18926 See it?
18926She does, does she? 18926 Slaked lime?
18926So that''s it, is it? 18926 So you know Miss Sanford then?"
18926So you know who I am, do you? 18926 So you know who I am?
18926So,said Lee very quietly,"that''s it, is it?"
18926Softy, huh?
18926Square, you think?
18926Stick on the job or quit?
18926Suppose I know him or do n''t know him,he asked with his old insolence,"whose business is it?"
18926Sure of that, Doc? 18926 Sure, are you?"
18926Taught her to ride, huh?
18926Tell me,demanded Judith, looking at her cattleman with intent eagerness,"what do you know about Poker Face?"
18926That little gray, quick- spoken man with the smelly pipe-- he''s straight, is n''t he?
18926That so?
18926That would be Luke''s girl, Judith?
18926That would be old Carson? 18926 That''s on the level, is it, Miss Judith?"
18926That''s right, is n''t it, Doc?
18926Then Masters did tell you?
18926Then what did Pollock Hampton say sell for? 18926 Then why are you going in such a hurry?
18926Then you''re Miss Sanford?
18926They wrote_ you_ a letter offering to buy?
18926Think of that?
18926This case of lung- worm, to begin with: where did it come from?
18926Three thousand six fifty for the bunch?
18926Timid little fawn, huh? 18926 To be sure, why should you have?"
18926Took her rifle, did she?
18926Trevors hired you? 18926 Trevors?"
18926Trevors?
18926Tried to smoke you out, huh?
18926Wait a minute, will you?
18926Want me?
18926Was n''t I telling you?
18926Well, Lee,said Judith sharply,"where do you get off?
18926Well, Lee,she said,"what do you make of it?"
18926Well, it''s a natural enough mistake, is n''t it? 18926 Well, what''s wrong?"
18926Well,demanded the girl,"are n''t you going, too?"
18926Well?
18926Well?
18926Well?
18926Well?
18926What about it? 18926 What am I wasting time with you for?
18926What are the seventy- three colts worth then?
18926What are you doing about it, Carson?
18926What are you doing this afternoon?
18926What did she want to fire Trevors for?
18926What did you come for?
18926What difference does it make to you? 18926 What difference does it make who told me?"
18926What do you want with me?
18926What do you want?
18926What does Trevors want you to do with them? 18926 What does the woman''s intuition find to be the mysterious gentleman''s interest in a certain Miss Langworthy?"
18926What for?
18926What for?
18926What for?
18926What is it, Charlie?
18926What is it, Doc?
18926What is it?
18926What is it?
18926What makes you say a thing like that?
18926What makes you so certain, Bud Lee,was her abrupt word of greeting,"that Bayne Trevors is back of this deal?"
18926What makes you think he went that far?
18926What now, Pollock?
18926What now?
18926What sort of a fool would want to climb way up here to start a fire, anyway?
18926What the devil is this?
18926What the hell do you want of him?
18926What was Trevors''s latest excuse for selling at a sacrifice?
18926What work?
18926What would they want to get together for? 18926 What would you say to fifty dollars a head for them?"
18926What you fellers want, huh?
18926What''s a thousand dollars, Charlie?
18926What''s come over you, Lee? 18926 What''s eating you, Bud?
18926What''s eating you?
18926What''s that last?
18926What''s that?
18926What''s the matter with you?
18926What''s the matter with you?
18926What''s the use, Bud? 18926 What''s the word, Ward?"
18926What''s the word?
18926What''s the word?
18926What''s up, Doc?
18926What''s wrong?
18926What?
18926What_ are_ you doing to- day? 18926 When did I say that?"
18926When did he leave us?
18926When did you get here?
18926Where are the rest of the men?
18926Where are you?
18926Where did it come from?
18926Where did it come from?
18926Where did you get that white pigeon you turned loose this morning?
18926Where is Lee?
18926Where is Miss Sanford?
18926Where is he?
18926Where is he?
18926Where you goin'', Bud?
18926Where''d you get the eye, Carson?
18926Where''s Johnson, the irrigation foreman?
18926Where''s Lee?
18926Where''s Masters?
18926Where''s your lady? 18926 Which one draws the luck?"
18926Who are Daylight and Ladybird?
18926Who are we selling to? 18926 Who has taken his place?"
18926Who is he?
18926Who is it?
18926Who is it?
18926Who is offering fifty dollars a head for those horses?
18926Who said it was n''t?
18926Who said so? 18926 Who says it was n''t?"
18926Who says we''re selling?
18926Who told you that I was running the outfit?
18926Who told you that his name was Poker Face?
18926Who told you?
18926Who will milk them until I can get a new crew?
18926Whose dog art thou? 18926 Why did n''t you tell me Miss Sanford had gone away?"
18926Why did n''t you tell me you were up to a thing like this? 18926 Why did you tell Trevors this morning that you were going to quit work?"
18926Why do you insist on being so downright stand- offish and stiff and aloof? 18926 Why should I?
18926Why the devil does n''t he run for it?
18926Why was he selling those horses at fifty dollars a head?
18926Why wo n''t you stay with your job? 18926 Why?
18926Why?
18926Why?
18926Why?
18926Will I go mad after a while?
18926Will you fight him, Trevors?
18926With your hands?
18926Would it go to your head,began the girl abruptly,"if I were to tell you that I size you up as the best man I''ve got on my pay- roll?"
18926Would n''t that choke you?
18926Yes?
18926You are one of his new thieves, I suppose?
18926You are rather-- abrupt, are n''t you?
18926You did n''t cook that up, did you, Hampton?
18926You did n''t find him under the car, did you? 18926 You did n''t see Quinnion?"
18926You do n''t have to stop every time the wind blows, do you?
18926You have heard from her since?
18926You knew about it all the time, then?
18926You know all that there is to be known about''_ ladies_,''do n''t you? 18926 You mean she is n''t coming at all?"
18926You run an outfit like this?
18926You say Quinnion has been talking?
18926You say we''re selling a hundred horses? 18926 You sent for me?"
18926You two know each other? 18926 You went to Europe?"
18926You will help me in every way you can while you are with me?
18926You will, will you?
18926You''ll get out of the country?
18926You''re Mr. Lee, are n''t you?
18926You''re going with that crook?
18926You''ve got claws, have you? 18926 You''ve known her a long time, Joe?"
18926Your ol''nose smell the booze damn''queek, no?
18926Your word there will be no interference?
18926_ Over_ six months?
18926_ Qué hay_, Bud?
18926A SIGNAL- FIRE?
18926A girl?
18926Afraid of what?
18926Again she spoke to Lee, saying crisply:"What horses is he talking about?"
18926Again, tipping it over so''s you can look at the other side, like a fair man ought to, what''s she going to do?
18926Ai n''t lost your gun, have you?"
18926Almost in whispers, with every sign of guilt----"Hurried lunch?"
18926Am I to dance around here and sidestep and fence just for you to look on?
18926And as José turned to go, she added carelessly:"Seen any of the men yet?"
18926And if you get in touch with Miss Sanford in any way, tip us off here, will you?
18926And now what?
18926And the blow that killed him might have been dealt with some heavy weapon in the hands of a man standing behind him, might n''t it?
18926And the message ran: What were you thinking of to chuck Trevors?
18926And this brought her to the second point: How did it come about that they had addressed, not her, but Pollock Hampton?
18926And to Marcia''s mystified expression:"You''ll pardon us a moment, Miss Langworthy?
18926And what buckler in all the world can ever stand between one man and another?
18926And what else will he have ready to spring on us now?"
18926And when she read in his eyes the earnestness in his heart, there rose within her the question:"How far has Bayne Trevors gone?"
18926And where was Quinnion, who stood as a buckler between Trevors and prosecution?
18926And where''s his risk, if he''s picked the right men, if he sees them through, keeping the back door open when they want to run for it?
18926And why run at all?"
18926And you spit and growl, do you?
18926And you, Parker?"
18926And you, Watson?
18926Any one else?"
18926Anything?"
18926Anyway, since we''ve got to spend the night with a man in Crowdy''s shape, it will be more cosey, wo n''t it, with the light on?"
18926Are they all crooks?"
18926Are they here yet?"
18926Are you, Doc?"
18926Are you?"
18926As I go down to the corral, shall I send up one of the boys to take your orders?"
18926Because the Blue Lake had knocked down to them before, did they still count confidently upon continued mismanagement?
18926Besides, I got a right to see if there''s a fair break, ai n''t I?
18926But had he noted Fujioki and that other black Spanish, José?
18926But old man or young, Bud?"
18926But that was n''t all, was it?"
18926But was that love?
18926But where did the calf sickness come from?
18926But where''s the end going to be?"
18926But where, when a man might ride a hundred miles this way or that and have no sign if he passed within calling distance of her?
18926But, do you know where he has been these last few days?"
18926By the way, did any of you boys come in late last night?
18926Ca n''t you act like a human being?
18926Can you come early to- morrow?--To- night?
18926Canned him?"
18926Carson came to his side, saying merely in his dry voice:"Mind if I come along, Bud?
18926Choice place for a cutthroat to hibernate, huh?"
18926Come with us, will you?"
18926Did Lee know what kidnapping was?
18926Did n''t I ride the forty miles from Rocky Bend last night and get here before sun- up?
18926Did you know him before?"
18926Do n''t it beat all how silage, when you use it right, shapes''em up?"
18926Do n''t you like to see any one shoot pigeons?"
18926Do n''t you see what all this points to?"
18926Do you get me, Bud Lee?"
18926Do you know what the latest news is from the pens?
18926Do you suppose the blood in a healthy- bodied, healthy- minded woman is any different from your blood?
18926Do you think he is going to die?"
18926Do you understand all that means?
18926Do you want me to think you are as fierce as you look?"
18926Do you want men up and down the State to laugh at you and jeer at you for a pack of softies and imbeciles?
18926Do you want to go?
18926Do you want to hold it now, with a fool girl telling you what to do?
18926Do you want to stick?
18926Ever heard of them?"
18926Get me?"
18926Give them away for ten dollars a head or cut their throats?"
18926Got it?
18926Great Scott, Judith, you do n''t know what you are tackling, do you?
18926Had he perhaps dropped his gun back there in the darkness?
18926Had n''t he told her a cup of coffee would do wonders?
18926Had she been wandering, lost all these days?
18926Had she found a chair overturned, a rug rumpled, a table shoved a little from its accustomed place?
18926Had she hurt Quinnion more than she had guessed?
18926Hampton?"
18926Hampton?"
18926Has he imported any other outside stock?"
18926Has n''t he told you?"
18926Have you forgotten me?"
18926He called out:"What did you say out there?"
18926He paused, filled a pipe he had neither desire nor intention of smoking, and said abruptly:"What''s this I hear about Trevors?
18926He strikes me as a rather long- headed man, does n''t he you?
18926How did she know all that?
18926How do you know what her place is?
18926How long have you been on the Blue Lake pay- roll?"
18926How many?"
18926How would Bud Lee feel about it when the boys came to know?
18926How would you like to be told just what your place is?
18926How''d_ you_ like it, Bud Lee?"
18926How''s that strike you?
18926Huh?"
18926Hurry, will you?"
18926I raised you a notch last month without your asking for it, did n''t I?"
18926I said, did n''t I, Western Lumber''s itching to get its devil- fish legs wropped aroun''Blue Lake timber?
18926If I do, you''ll want to come along?"
18926If he has gone to the limit of introducing one disease among our cattle, what other plagues has he brought to the ranch?
18926If he, did n''t, then who the devil did?"
18926If nothing else, then had she waited here half the night and in the end had she gone on plunging deep into some cañon hidden to him?
18926If she''s got to sell heavily, why pick out this particular set of buyers?
18926If the price suits me and Miss Sanford, who own the stock, does it in any way affect you?
18926Is Bayne Trevors above a deal like that?"
18926Is it because you do n''t want to take orders from me?"
18926Is n''t life narrow in the cities?
18926Is n''t that an earful for this time of day?
18926Is that fair?"
18926Is that it?
18926Is that the way you earn your eighty- five dollars?"
18926It''s a real fine day, is n''t it, Miss Sanford?
18926Just because I''ve come?"
18926Just by his voice?"
18926Just one?
18926Lee asked three questions; the third a simple,"Sure of it, Sandy?"
18926Lee, forcing himself to show a calmness like Carson''s, said gently to Hampton:"Ca n''t you see the play?
18926Lee?"
18926Lee?"
18926Lee?"
18926Lee?"
18926Lee?"
18926Look here, Bud; what are you driving at?
18926Miss Judith?"
18926Miss Sanford?"
18926Mother and son?
18926My flowers bloomin''the brighter, already-- no?"
18926Neither man, when it chanced that Bayne Trevors''s name was casually mentioned, suggested:"Why not go to the law?"
18926No objection, is there?"
18926None of you fellers ever saw old Luke Sanford?"
18926Not since that gash on your jaw healed?
18926Not since you and Scotty Webb mixed with the Roaring Creekers?"
18926Now lie still, will you?"
18926Now what?
18926Now will you come with us to her room?"
18926Now, how soon can you get back here?--Trevors?
18926Now, tell me-- what''s wrong down at the milk corrals?
18926Now?"
18926On top of that would he go and run his car into such danger as that?
18926One of the know- all- about- it brand, huh, Bud?
18926Only,"and he wrinkled his brows at her,"where does Poker Face come in?
18926Or dad?"
18926Or do you want to roll your blankets and quit?
18926Or do you want to stick?"
18926Or early this morning?"
18926Or is the job going to be too big for you?"
18926Or playing''possum?
18926Or plugged?
18926Or shall I count you out?"
18926Or sulphur fumes?"
18926Or was he so sure of taking her, alive and struggling, into his arms in another moment?
18926Or,"and at last the sneer came,"do you want a pair of padded gloves and somebody to fan you?"
18926Out of ammunition?
18926Poker Face, have you anything else to say for yourself?"
18926Remove her flapping hat, her boots, and spurs and riding- suit, and what was left of Judith?
18926Repairs needed at the office where you are?"
18926Said----""What did he want?"
18926Saturday?
18926Send this message to every hotel there, will you?
18926She asked frankly how long he planned to stay?
18926She had lighted the fire last night; what might have happened to her since then?
18926Simpson?"
18926Simpson?"
18926Stick to a white man or fuss around for a woman?"
18926Stick with me?"
18926Strike you about right, Billy?
18926Suddenly angered by his leisurely air, she added cuttingly:"Not afraid, are you?"
18926Suppose that Judith, in the mad thing she was attempting, should actually succeed in it, that she should bring down the man she was attacking?
18926Thank you,"and she found time for a smile at her devoted servitor;"Now, have a horse ready, will you?"
18926That canvas bag, then, with the thousand dollars in it?
18926That it?"
18926That means Trevors, does n''t it?"
18926That there were such things as laws, such places as prisons?
18926That you, Benton?
18926That?"
18926The chance to hold a man like Chris Quinnion in the hollow of his hand, to make him do his bidding, to set him just such work as he is doing now?
18926The main chance for him?
18926Then I''m the man to name the sort of fight, am I not?
18926Then where would they be safer than right here in these mountains?
18926Then, abruptly, her eyes on Carson, she snapped:"You''ve found out, more or less recently, have n''t you, that Bayne Trevors is a crook?
18926Then,"Got enough in there?"
18926There are no holes in the walls they could stick a gun- barrel through, are there?"
18926They all treats a man similar----""Damn it,"growled Lee irritably,"ca n''t you tell me what Weaver said?"
18926They''ll figure that we will expect them to be a long way from here by now, wo n''t they?
18926Trevors or Quinnion?
18926Two reasons, you know: busy all day and half the night, for one thing, and for another, Hampton has monopolized you, has n''t he?"
18926Typewritten note?"
18926Understand?
18926Want me to let you go back to that swaggering lover of yours, do you?
18926Was he so certain of her then?
18926Was n''t it too romantic for anything?
18926Was this just a trifle?
18926What I want to know is this: in how many other, still undiscovered ways, has Trevors been knifing us?
18926What are all of those men up to?"
18926What are those for horses, huh?"
18926What are you going to do about it?"
18926What business did a kid like this have knowing so blamed much?
18926What business had Judith to stay away?
18926What business have you got selling off my young steers at a sacrifice?
18926What business is it of yours how I sell?
18926What did he say?"
18926What did he want?
18926What did it matter that Carson and Tripp and the rest had their problems to face back there?
18926What do you look at me like that for?"
18926What do you make of it?"
18926What figger?"
18926What have I done to you that you ca n''t be decent?
18926What in the name of folly did you build those three miles of fence for?"
18926What is it?
18926What is left for me but to stay?"
18926What next?
18926What the devil did she mean by it?
18926What was the excuse for canning you?"
18926What was the trouble with you and Trevors?"
18926What would Bud Lee answer when they asked what he was doing about that time?
18926What''s the matter with you?"
18926What''s to happen?
18926What, pray, are you taking?"
18926What_ shall_ I do?"
18926When he offered no further remark but sat staring up at the cliffs, Judith asked:"What else have you learned by coming back down here?
18926Where did it go?"
18926Where is she?"
18926Where should she run to?
18926Where will I get it?"
18926Where will we begin?
18926Where''d he come from?"
18926Where''s the Indian Trail you talked about?"
18926Where''s your logic this morning?"
18926Where?
18926Which is it, Growly?"
18926Which is it?"
18926Which is which?
18926Which one?"
18926Which?
18926Which?"
18926While I do that, will you scare up something for me to eat and then saddle a horse for me?
18926Who are you, anyway?"
18926Who are you?"
18926Who are you?"
18926Who could it have been, Doc?"
18926Who goes next, Carson?"
18926Who in the world can it be?
18926Who is he?"
18926Who told you?"
18926Who took him on?"
18926Who''s_ he_?
18926Why did n''t he come?"
18926Why is the deal rushed through while she''s away?
18926Why, do you think I''d hold on to my job here for ten minutes if it was n''t that my reputation is in making a go of the thing?
18926Will you begin to- morrow making a thorough investigation?"
18926Will you sit down?
18926Wo n''t you sit down?"
18926Would he find her at all?
18926Would he find her well?
18926Would you want people poking about into your home just because it was in the heart of the wilderness and you were n''t there to drive them out?"
18926XXIV A SIGNAL- FIRE?
18926You ai n''t got cannibal blood in you, have you, Bud?"
18926You do n''t know him, do you?"
18926You do n''t think she eloped with your Jap or stole the spoons, do you?"
18926You draw down your monthly pay, do n''t you?
18926You know that, do n''t you?"
18926You know the way, Burkitt?"
18926You''re not afraid of my double- crossing you?
18926You''re still left to us, are you?"
18926You''ve perhaps even guessed that he''s been taking money from me with one hand and from the Western Lumber with the other?"
18926You''ve rode his string, Bud?
18926You_ would_ chuck Luke Sanford''s outfit to the dogs, would you?
18926she demanded sharply--"just hanging around the office?
18926think I want to take orders off''n a woman?
22057A man on a strawberry roan, yuh say? 22057 A short fella gave yuh that?
22057Afraid to draw like a man?
22057And Jack Hahdy?
22057And the next thing?
22057And what,asked the governor pleasantly,"do you expect me to do?"
22057And yo''re backin''thet statement up-- how?
22057Are those the don''s men?
22057Are yo''all right, Tip?
22057Are yo''all right, son?
22057Are yo''interested in the San Felipe district?
22057Are yo''sure,said Kid Wolf with deadly quietness,"that the moon wo n''t be red?"
22057Are you the hombre that caused all the stir back in San Felipe?
22057Are yuh goin''to return that money?
22057Are yuh hintin''that I''m a crook?
22057Are yuh hurt?
22057Are yuh seein''mah bet?
22057Are yuh starin''at me?
22057Are yuh tryin''to mind my business?
22057As a spy?
22057Bill,he muttered,"did n''t yuh hear somethin''?"
22057Boys, will yuh take me for a friend?
22057Boys,he asked slowly,"do yuh want jobs?"
22057But supposin''yore I O U ai n''t good?
22057But who ever heard o''gettin''cattle out o''Old Mexico after they''ve once been driven in?
22057But why should yuh want my claim in San Simon?
22057But yo''re not goin''?
22057By the way, can yo''tell me where I can find a Mistah Mullhall, a Mistah Anton, a Mistah Lathum, a Mistah Wise, and a Mistah Steve Stacy?
22057Ca n''t they see I''m a friend?
22057Can we beat''em to Mexican Tanks?
22057Did yo''offah ten thousand dollahs fo''the S Bar Ranch?
22057Did yuh shoot the big brute?
22057Did yuh tear the hide offn him? 22057 Do we mind?"
22057Do yo''know this man?
22057Do yo''mind if I throw in with yo''?
22057Do yo''want to sell, ma''am?
22057Do yuh have business with me?
22057Excuse me, sir,said the bartender,"but yore drink?"
22057Guess yuh''ll find some plenty bad ones here in Skull County, eh, Kid?
22057Has n''t she any relatives?
22057Has this four- flusher been up to his tricks again?
22057Have yuh been in Skull long? 22057 Honestly?"
22057How about lettin''us go, too?
22057How about those four by the fire?
22057How do yuh expect yore hoss to get to us?
22057How far is it to his headquartahs at Agua Frio?
22057How far to Mexican Tanks?
22057How long have yo''been like this?
22057How many cards?
22057How many men did he take with him?
22057How much did Majah Stovah pay yo''to quit?
22057How would yuh like,tempted the man who had styled himself Gentleman John,"to make a hundred dollars a day?"
22057How''d yo''like to make some spahks fly yo''selves?
22057I trust yo''are in good health?
22057If-- if I sign, yo''ll let me go?
22057Is anything wrong?
22057Is it The Terror?
22057Is it words yo''want,drawled the Texan, drawing up his snowy mount,"or bullets?"
22057Is that so?
22057Is there any chance o''help?
22057Is there anything I can do?
22057Is this-- ah-- Gentleman John the right sort of hombre?
22057Just who is he?
22057Know those mahks?
22057May I ask,spoke The Kid softly,"why yo''have reduced yo''offah?"
22057Modoc,he drawled,"what color will the moon be to- night?"
22057No?
22057No?
22057No?
22057Now will yo''believe me,asked the Texan,"when I tell yo''that Blizzahd''s a smaht hoss?"
22057Pahdon me, ma''am,he drawled,"but is theah anything I can do fo''yo'', aside from bein''a tahget in yo''gun practice?"
22057Perfect place fer an ambush, ai n''t it?
22057Quit?
22057Quià © n sabe?
22057Really, Dave,he drawled,"do yo''think I''d let Garvey get away with that?
22057See those black dots against the sky over there? 22057 Señor Wolf, to show your good faith, will you be kind enough to lay your weapons on my desk?
22057So yo''have her where yo''want her, have yo''?
22057Still set on it?
22057The choice?
22057The hat? 22057 The what?"
22057Then why are you here, fool?
22057Then,asked the governor slowly,"you refuse, señor?"
22057This Majah Stovah-- is he an army officer?
22057This upstart, or me? 22057 Well, are yuh gettin''in the game?"
22057Well,the ranchman''s words came slowly,"what do yuh want with me?"
22057What about it, men? 22057 What are yuh doin''?"
22057What are yuh fumblin''at in there? 22057 What can I do fo''yo''?"
22057What color will the moon be to- night?
22057What could we do against sixty Apaches?
22057What did I ever-- ever do to deserve this happiness?
22057What did yore note mean?
22057What do yo''say, Blizzahd?
22057What do you mean?
22057What do yuh want here?
22057What do yuh want with me?
22057What does that signify?
22057What good is it to know?
22057What have yo''?
22057What is it to yuh?
22057What makes yo''think so?
22057What name did yuh say?
22057What rivah was that yo''crossed a few days ago?
22057What yuh do about it?
22057What''s happened to yore gun?
22057What''s on the program?
22057What''s on yore mind?
22057What''s the idea now?
22057What''s the matter,''Tip''?
22057What''s the trouble?
22057What''s up, Garvey?
22057What''s yo''name?
22057What''s yore little game? 22057 What''s yore message?"
22057What''s yore plan, Kid?
22057Wheah are yo''headed fo''now?
22057Wheah''s the guard?
22057Wheah''s yo''brother now?
22057Where are you goin'', Kid?
22057Where is he?
22057Where yuh goin'', Kid?
22057Where''s it from?
22057Where''s the other men-- the two riders on duty with Joe?
22057Where''s yore credentials?
22057Who are you?
22057Who are yuh goin''to believe?
22057Who are yuh, and what do yuh want?
22057Who did this thing?
22057Who do yo''think I am, ma''am?
22057Who in blazes are you?
22057Who in blazes are you?
22057Who is thet with yuh?
22057Who is this man?
22057Who suggested that yo''quit?
22057Who-- who are yuh?
22057Whoever heard of a gunman making that much honestly?
22057Why did yo''shoot that man?
22057Why, where are yuh goin''?
22057Why,asked Kid Wolf slowly,"do they call that hombre''Blacksnake''?"
22057Why,he asked calmly,"should I mutilate this po''man''s hat?"
22057Will he make it?
22057Will the señor have his eyes bandaged? 22057 Will they give us breakfast?"
22057Will yo''have to sell the Diamond D now?
22057Will yo''kindly stick up yo''hands, gentlemen,the Texan drawled,"while yo''re explainin''?"
22057With me?
22057Wo n''t the law help yo''?
22057Wo n''t yuh take a half interest in the S Bar, Kid?
22057Yes?
22057Yes?
22057Yo''know who the rustlers were?
22057You will have men there to receive them?
22057You''re surely not through already, are you, boys?
22057Your business with me, señor?
22057Your name, señor?
22057Yuh admit yuh marked them cards?
22057Yuh wo n''t come along?
22057Ah, did n''t I tell you that the Americans are bluffers, like their game of poker?
22057And The Terror himself?
22057And now where was the wagon train?
22057And the only good cattle lands for a hundred miles are just south of theah, is n''t that so?"
22057And what plainsman of that day had n''t?
22057And who are yuh?"
22057And you?"
22057Are yo''game?"
22057Are yo''signin''?"
22057As Kid Wolf came closer to the fire, he was hailed in turn:"What color will the moon be to- night?"
22057Blindfolded, yes?"
22057But do yuh know what was in that powder keg yuh used?"
22057But in that case, what would become of the wagon train, with no one to save them from The Terror?
22057But wheah''s the othah two?"
22057But where were the longhorns now?
22057But, tell me, who are you-- to do this for a stranger, a woman you''ve never seen before?
22057Can yo''stick it out till then?"
22057Could his friend, the gallant Texan, have met death?
22057Cruelty might lurk there, perhaps, or friendliness-- who could say?
22057Do n''t yo''know what I did while the rest of yo''were tippin''back the stagecoach?
22057Do you wish to buy a ranch, señor?
22057Ees it not cheap, amigo?"
22057Enjoyin''a little game o''cahds?"
22057Expect to stay hereabouts for a while?"
22057First o''all, do any of yuh know Kid Wolf?"
22057Had The Terror already struck?
22057Had his man, Josà ©, forgotten to lock the gate?
22057Had the south herd gone the way of the other?
22057Harry Thomas finally broke it:"How did yuh know me?
22057He leaned across the table to whisper:"How about all that money in that poker game down in Mariposa?
22057He was more startled still, however, when Modoc whispered in a voice just loud enough for him to hear:"What color will the moon be to- night?"
22057How d''ye know I''m a sheriff?"
22057How much do yo''suppose the S Bar is wo''th, Anton?"
22057If he had made a friend, was that friend afraid to speak to him?
22057If the latter, what had he meant by his strange expression:"What color will the moon be to- night?"
22057If yuh don''t----""And if we do n''t?"
22057In the morning?
22057Is it a bargain?"
22057Is it true yo''re goin''there to run the place for the old woman?"
22057Is n''t there any law heah?"
22057Is theah a sho''t cut to his ranch?"
22057May I help yo''?"
22057No?
22057Now what''s yore answer?"
22057Or did he mean anything at all?
22057Or have you bought?
22057Or perhaps the señor does not know the Spanish?"
22057Or would his execution be delayed, perhaps for days?
22057Pahdon, but have n''t yo''forgotten somethin''?"
22057Quià © n sabe?"
22057Savvy?
22057Savvy?"
22057Savvy?"
22057Savvy?"
22057Shall we stop heah, Blizzahd?"
22057The mortgage----""Who would yo''sell to?"
22057The people of the wagon train answered his shout:"Shore yo''wo n''t go on with us?"
22057The town of Mariposa lies just over the bordah, am I right?
22057Was Quiroz playing a crafty game?
22057Was he now seeing it for the last time?
22057Was he really insane, or was it just obstinacy?
22057Was it a trap of some kind?
22057Was it here that he was to go?
22057Was it his imagination, or was a look flashed between the half- breed and several of the men in the room?
22057Was the entire ranch personnel in San Felipe?
22057Was the man insane?
22057Was the wagon train being led to its doom by a madman?
22057Was there a note in that paper ball?
22057What business is it of his?"
22057What can I do now?"
22057What deep plot was behind that seemingly meaningless query?
22057What did Modoc mean by his low- voiced, mysterious query?
22057What do yo''intend to do, sah?"
22057What do yo''say we rustle back that herd o''longhorns that Hardy stole from Tip''s dad?"
22057What do yuh think o''this?"
22057What happened?
22057What if they do fill me with lead?
22057What time is it?"
22057What was Hardy up to?
22057What were they waiting for?
22057What would become of him, if he, Kid Wolf, died?
22057What''s the matter?
22057What''s yo''verdict?"
22057Wheah can we go?"
22057Wheah''s yo''men?"
22057When was he to be shot?
22057Where is this wagon train, sah?"
22057Where to, now?"
22057Where was he to find it?
22057Where was he?
22057Where were they bound for?
22057Where you goin''?"
22057Who was this hombre?
22057Who''s with me?"
22057Why do n''t yuh kill me and finish me?"
22057Why this covered grave?"
22057Will I find them in San Felipe?"
22057Will yo''kindly poke yo''hands into the atmospheah?"
22057Will yuh take''em?"
22057Wo n''t yo''tell me yo''story?
22057Wo n''t you help me?"
22057Would Blizzard take it, or refuse?
22057Would Blizzard take it?
22057Would he again attempt to batter down the door and force a way in, under cover of darkness this time?
22057Would he find his friend, the Texan?
22057Would he get a bullet for his pains?
22057Would the Texan make it?
22057Yo''deal in lands, I believe?"
22057You understand, señor?
22057Yuh promise to try?"
22057_ Como esta usted?_""_ Buenas noches_,"returned The Kid, with easy politeness.
2794Ai n''t he horrid?
2794And YOU?
2794And any one coming from the road we left just now and going to-- to-- that place, would have to cross just here? 2794 And his name was--?"
2794And it was here?
2794And the body?
2794And there was no real May in the case?
2794And this,summed up the young girl, with a slight shrug of her pretty shoulders,"is YOUR MAY?"
2794And you call yourself a California miner?
2794And you did not hold down your head purposely?
2794And you kept it because of the odd resemblance one of the names bore to yours?
2794And you stole his mare?
2794And you?
2794Before your cabin or on the highway?
2794But did you really find it?
2794But hev you?
2794But how did YOU know it?
2794But why have you sent for me?
2794Can you not understand that a woman like me must know a thing once and forever? 2794 Did she say anything?"
2794Did this ring belong to you?
2794Do you know Hornsby?
2794Do you mean to say that every miner does n''t know that it''s lucky to dig wherever human blood has been spilt?
2794Do you wish me to walk the rest of the way home?
2794Do you,he asked, in a voice he scarcely recognized himself,--"Do you want this man inside?"
2794Have you been long here?
2794Have you been long in these parts, Miss?
2794I?
2794It WAS worth a thousand dollars, was n''t it?
2794May I?
2794My papers?
2794Really, now?
2794Shall I open it?
2794The tall, lame man, who was half eaten by a grizzly?
2794Then it was YOU made these holes?
2794Then you did not come alone?
2794What did you say?
2794What do you mean?
2794What do you mean?
2794What shall I do with your handkerchief?
2794What''s all right?
2794What''s the matter with your neck?
2794When I had only invited myself? 2794 Who is the coroner?"
2794Who? 2794 Why have you not been to Red Chief?
2794Ye did n''t none on ye happen to drop anything round yer last night?
2794You are SURE?
2794You are sure we are not seen?
2794You never found anything else on the trail?
2794You say you found that ring in the road some three months before-- the-- the-- you know what I mean-- the body-- was discovered?
2794You thought it might have been dropped by some one in passing?
2794You were good friends enough until--"Until he insulted me just now, is that it?
2794You will not think me foolish if I ask you to wait here while I go in there--she pointed to the ominous thicket near them--"alone?"
2794You''re riding inside?
2794( with a sad smile)"that YOU are not above that weakness?"
2794After a moment she asked, suddenly,"What are you going to do with Hornsby?"
2794And had she not made his humiliation complete by begging Charley''s interference between him and his enemy?
2794And there was nothing else; no paper nor envelope?"
2794And-- what else?"
2794As the astonished teamster drew up before this elegant apparition, she panted:--"Why did you make me run so far, and why did n''t you look up?"
2794Because I''m a girl I do n''t see why I can not go out without a keeper, and why I can not do what any man can do that is n''t wrong, do you?
2794But what was that mystery, and why was the ring secondary to himself?
2794But you tell me it was not so?"
2794Could you?"
2794Do YOU believe it?"
2794Do n''t stay out late; ye might be run off by some gal, and what would your mother say?"
2794Do you know who he is?"
2794Do you refuse?"
2794Do you want to take your death of cold?"
2794How can I tell who you are?"
2794How could he keep the secret from them?
2794Tell me,"she said, with a strange laugh, laying her cold nervous hand on his,"would n''t they?"
2794The banker scarcely glanced at it, but said, impatiently,--"Well, your papers?"
2794The reply was characteristic if not satisfactory,--"Object?
2794Was she?
2794What have you got to prove it?
2794What if the poor creature had determined upon suicide on the spot where her faithless lover had fallen?
2794When the coach stopped at Blazing Star she asked him, indifferently:"When does this sentimental pilgrimage begin?"
2794Why did n''t you answer my message about the ring?"
2794Why should he remember he was handicapped, by a pretty woman and a pathetic episode?
2794Why was so much stress laid upon his finding it?
2794continued the girl;"but what killed him?"
2794she repeated, maliciously,"was n''t it?
2794what availed instinctive chivalry against main strength?
28551Are there any outfits ahead of us?
28551Are we on the Telegraph Trail?
28551But what can I do? 28551 But where?
28551Do you ever expect to get there? 28551 Do you expect to get there?"
28551Good feed? 28551 Has he been much trouble to you?"
28551Have you any idee where we''re at?
28551How are you off for grub?
28551How de do? 28551 How far is it to the ford?"
28551How far to Teslin Lake?
28551How''s the horse?
28551I b''lieve there''s gold here,said"Chihuahua,""but who''s goin''to stay here and look fer it?
28551I guess we better let him go, had n''t we?
28551I ought to rattle into Glenora on this grub, had n''t I?
28551Oh, by the way, partner, where did you get that nice, quiet, little blue pony of yours?
28551What did you do during the late rains?
28551What do you think of the trail?
28551What is his name?
28551Why is it, do you suppose, that the road- gang ahead of us have n''t left a single sign, not even a word as to where we are?
28551Yes, there''s that road- gang sent out to put this trail into shape-- what have they done? 28551 --How is this for a prairie route?"
28551--"What river is this, anyhow?"
28551After looking the horse all over, with a subtle show of not being in haste, I asked,"How much will you take for him?"
28551Again some one said,"Does it pay to bring a horse like that so far?"
28551And I said,''Hullo, uncle, what you doin'', diggin''your grave?''
28551At Missoula, the following evening, I rushed into the ticket office and shouted,"Where is''54''?"
28551But what of that?
28551Ca n''t ye see that eddy?
28551DO YOU FEAR THE WIND?
28551Did ye ever see the beat of that fer a barren?
28551Did you ever kill a horse?"
28551Do you fear the force of the wind, The slash of the rain?
28551Does it pay to bring up a child?
28551Does it pay to ride a bicycle?
28551Have you any idea where we are?"
28551He replied,"Where is your gun?"
28551He shook hands with me, saying,"Kla- how- ya,"in answer to my,"Kla- how- ya six,"which is to say,"How are you, friend?"
28551He then asked,"More white men come?"
28551He told of his hard experiences, with pride and joy, and said,"Is n''t it lucky I caught you just here?"
28551Hy- u muck- a- muck?"
28551I hurried for Ladrone, and as I passed with the horse the citizens smiled incredulously and asked,"Goin''to take the horse with you, eh?"
28551I rushed into the office of the operator:"Where''s the horse in''13,238''?"
28551I shouted, thoroughly disgusted,"does it pay to feed a dog for ten years?
28551If it had n''t been for her brother-- oh, I''ll smash his face in, some day"--he held up the other trouser leg:"See that patch?
28551In speaking about the surly answer I had received from the man on the banks of the river, I said:"I wonder why those men are camped there?
28551It does not pay,--that is sure,--but after all what does pay?
28551It was still more than thirty degrees below zero, but what of that?
28551Knowing the Indian''s vague idea of miles, I said:--"How_ long_ before we reach the ford?
28551Now, why do you come away out here in this poor Siwash country?"
28551Of what avail?
28551On a fishin''excursion?"
28551On what stream?"
28551One old man tottered up to my side to inquire,"Cap, where you going?"
28551Others were pathetic inquiries:"Where in hell are we?"
28551Say, looks like I ought to rustle enough grub out of all these outfits to last me into Glenora, do n''t it?"
28551Sit- kum sun?"
28551So this is the end of the trail to him-- To swing at the tail of a rope and die; Making a chapter gray and grim, Adding a ghost to the midnight sky?
28551THE GIFT OF WATER"Is water nigh?"
28551THE TOIL OF THE TRAIL What have I gained by the toil of the trail?
28551The bystanders seeing a horse travelling in such splendid loneliness asked,"Runnin''horse?"
28551The children all cried out at me:"Goin''to find the horsie?
28551The drivers looked down at us curiously and somewhat haughtily from their high seats, as if to say,"We know where we are going-- do you know as much?"
28551They had heard that cattle were coming over the trail and all inquired,"Spose when Moos- Moos come?"
28551To him I called with an assumption of jocularity I did not feel,"Stranger, where are you bound for?"
28551Was I to remain forever in Wrangell?
28551Was n''t that big divide hell?
28551What d''you think you''re doin''?
28551When I asked in Chinook,"How far is it to feed for our horses?"
28551Where ye think you''re goin''?"
28551Where''s the gun?"
28551Why you come?"
28551You remember that horse back there with a hole in his flank and his head flung up?
17981A chance? 17981 Afraid?"
17981After a man gets the swing of it, sorta, it ai n''t always such hard work?
17981After all,he told himself, with a restless, half- reckless little laugh,"why not?"
17981Ai n''t it sure enough hell how steady a man can lose?
17981Ai n''t you got nothin''to do to- day?
17981Always up to your little repartee, ai n''t you, Jimmie? 17981 Am I too early?"
17981Am I?
17981Am I?
17981An''if he''s a frien''of Crawford''s, why ai n''t he up to the house instead of down here? 17981 And I can work out that dollar I owe you too, ca n''t I?"
17981And do they know-- does any one of you know-- where he got the whisky?
17981And do you know that I''m beginning to like to roll my own''cigareet''?
17981And it''s for the work over there that you want an engineer?
17981And my tickets came out of the five hundred?
17981And now what?
17981And she?
17981And then-- it''s Dam Number One?
17981And there is no other interest?
17981And to- morrow evening will you come up to the house and tell me what you have decided?
17981And what might you be doing in this part of the country?
17981And you have no business at all out here?
17981And you like it?
17981And you, Mundy? 17981 And you?"
17981And, pray, what might that be?
17981And,Conniston hurried on,"if you are going-- You are going the same way, are n''t you?"
17981And-- pretty?
17981Are you deef an''dumb? 17981 Are you going to tell me what you mean?
17981Are you never-- afraid of the outcome?
17981Are you sure it''s about the cattle country?
17981But how about me? 17981 But what will you do?
17981But why?
17981But would it not be better to wait a few days-- to give him a chance to sober up?
17981But you are ready to do that?
17981Ca n''t you get anybody?
17981Ca n''t you give up enough of your precious time to walk on home with me? 17981 Ca n''t you hear?"
17981Ca n''t you see who it is that is handicapped in the great race here-- here in the West? 17981 Ca n''t you talk?"
17981Close- lipped, eh? 17981 Conniston are you, huh?
17981Dam Number Two is the one which is completed, is n''t it? 17981 Did I do wrong, father?
17981Did he shell out at all?
17981Did n''t Jordan tell you? 17981 Did you get me?"
17981Do all of the men know about this?
17981Do n''t you know that Crawford was just waiting and looking for an excuse-- any excuse?
17981Do n''t you know-- can''t you tell-- how Miss Jocelyn feels toward you, Pete? 17981 Do you know where she went yesterday?"
17981Do you know where she went?
17981Do you know why Crawford really let him go?
17981Do you know,she was running on, swiftly,"how it happened that you were selected to ride with me to- day?"
17981Do you mean, Greek,he said, anxiously,"that there is a chance yet?"
17981Do you think that I can do it?
17981Do you want to keep your job at the wages I offered you yesterday? 17981 Dreadfully warm in this desert country, is n''t it?"
17981Even,he cried, incredulously, wondering if she could jest so earnestly--"even by such men as Toothy and Rawhide Jones and the rest?"
17981Ever do any kind of construction work?
17981Ever had any experience handlin''men? 17981 For good and sufficient reasons, Argyl dear?"
17981Good news, eh, Greek?
17981Great country, ai n''t it?
17981Had I not better go?
17981Had any practical experience?
17981Had n''t heard about my having slept with Procrustes? 17981 Has n''t Hapgood gone yet?"
17981Have you any idea,Garton was asking, and to Conniston his voice seemed to come faintly from a great distance,"which way she rode?"
17981Headed for one of the cattle- ranges, I suppose?
17981Heeled? 17981 Hey, Conniston,"he called, sharply,"where you goin''?"
17981Hey, Greek,Roger was saying, his droning voice coming unpleasantly into the other''s musings,"did you pipe that?
17981Hit me over the head with a revolver?
17981How about the teacher, Pete?
17981How are you, Roger?
17981How are you?
17981How big a shift of men were you planning on putting to work up there?
17981How did you happen to pick out this?
17981How did you hurt it?
17981How do you do, Conniston?
17981How do you do, Mr. Hapgood? 17981 How do you know what I have been doing?"
17981How do you like the West, Roger?
17981How do, Conniston?
17981How do, Kent?
17981How does a man get out there? 17981 How does it happen, Pete,"he said, carelessly,"that you''re getting so interested in an education here of late?"
17981How in the world is Brayley like me?
17981How''re they comin'', Tommy?
17981How''re they comin'', stranger?
17981How''s the work going?
17981Howdy, stranger?
17981I do n''t mean to be too personal, but-- are you used to working?
17981I have n''t interfered with you, have I?
17981I reckon you''re from the East, maybe? 17981 I say, Greek,"he was growling, as he trudged forward,"what fool thing are you going to do next?"
17981I thought that while you were getting your horses-- Didn''t you saddle him?
17981I wonder what he was driving at?
17981I-- Will you excuse me?
17981If a man likes you real well you can tell every time, ca n''t you? 17981 If we are going to be friends, you and I-- and you promised that you would let me make you my friend-- hadn''t we better drop that word?"
17981In the only thing which counts-- to the uttermost-- do I win, Argyl dear?
17981Is it to be only defeat, after all?
17981Is n''t there any way,he asked suddenly, swinging upon Garton,"of making a go of this without building that dam?"
17981It was n''t your father?
17981It''s different, anyhow, is n''t it? 17981 It''s jest like anything else, ai n''t it, when you get used to it?
17981Just one man--"You mean that Swede with the big white mare in the lead?
17981Looks like the Ol''Man means real business, huh, Spud?
17981May I speak with you a moment, Miss Argyl?
17981Maybe you remember how you did me up in the matter of the Bolton town lots, Mr. Swinnerton? 17981 Meaning Truxton?"
17981Meaning?
17981Miss Crawford is back?
17981Miss Crawford, what do you say to a little stroll out on the front lawn while these men of business transact their weighty affairs? 17981 Miss Crawford-- for you are Miss Crawford, are n''t you?"
17981Need''em pretty bad? 17981 Not Miss Crawford?"
17981Not the daughter of Bat Truxton?
17981Not yours? 17981 Pardner sick or something?"
17981Perhaps, however, you would have preferred to have counted before signing?
17981Please, sir,grinned the Lark, shaking his hand high above his head like a ragged urchin in school,"kin I go git a drink?
17981Shall I make my report to you first? 17981 So that''s Jocelyn Truxton, is it?"
17981So you do have a hotel? 17981 Something like, eh, Greek?"
17981Suppose it''s like this all the way to''Frisco?
17981Suppose the old gent will hold out long this time, Greek?
17981Suppose we have another, eh?
17981Tell me-- why did you do it?
17981Ten foot?
17981That is, of course, if you care to call on the cook? 17981 That makes it about ninety mile, huh?"
17981That you, Con? 17981 That you, Con?"
17981That''s a real joke, I suppose?
17981That''s real far, ai n''t it?
17981That''s what you call fair play out in the West?
17981The girl''s father run a cattle- range out there?
17981The race is on, is n''t it? 17981 The same, suh?"
17981The surprising thing is how well things keep, is it not?
17981Then what can you do?
17981Then would you mind if my friend rode with you? 17981 They have a real fine teacher, I suppose?
17981Think you can handle all four gangs without me for the rest of the afternoon?
17981This bed ai n''t workin''?
17981Tommy''s told you somethin''about what we got ahead of us?
17981Tommy,he called, from the doorway,"do you know where Miss Crawford is?
17981Under Bat Truxton?
17981Want me to answer it?
17981Want me to tell you, eh? 17981 We all have to begin some time, do n''t we?
17981Well, Cookie, what''s eatin''you? 17981 Well, old man,"Hapgood smiled back at him,"whence the mirth?"
17981Well, what was it?
17981Well, what''s the good news?
17981Well?
17981Well?
17981Well?
17981Well?
17981Were they working this way when you got here?
17981What about him?
17981What am I paying you, Conniston?
17981What are we going to do?
17981What are you going to do about it?
17981What are you waitin''an''loafin''here for?
17981What are you waitin''for?
17981What did he do to me?
17981What did he look like?
17981What do you know of that?
17981What do you mean by this?
17981What do you mean? 17981 What do you mean?"
17981What do you mean?
17981What do you mean?
17981What do you mean?
17981What do you mean?
17981What have you decided? 17981 What in hell are you tryin''to do?
17981What in the world brings you here?
17981What is it, Mr. Conniston? 17981 What is it?"
17981What is it?
17981What is that?
17981What is the matter with your hand?
17981What school?
17981What sort of a bet?
17981What sort of a time- limit? 17981 What the devil are we going to do?"
17981What wages are you fellows drawing down?
17981What''s the excitement?
17981What''s the matter with you, Greek?
17981What''s the matter?
17981What''s the matter?
17981What''s the use of this nonsense? 17981 What''s the use of this shenanigan?
17981What''s up, Con?
17981What''s up,''bo?
17981What,she asked him, laughingly, and yet with a serious note in her voice,"is the one thing which we should like to discover here?
17981What? 17981 What?"
17981Whatcher want to- day?
17981Where are you going to sleep?
17981Where is Truxton?
17981Where is he?
17981Where is the trouble with them? 17981 Where''ll a man get a room here?"
17981Where''s Brayley?
17981Where''s Mr. Crawford? 17981 Where''s Truxton?"
17981Which is some riding, huh?
17981Which way you goin'', stranger?
17981Who are you talking about?
17981Who in the devil would want to get off here?
17981Who might you be, stranger?
17981Who told you?
17981Who told you?
17981Who wants to go to work for Swinnerton now?
17981Who was the man?
17981Who''re you?
17981Who''s askin''you to chip in?
17981Why did n''t you do it that first night in the bunk- house? 17981 Why did n''t you let me know last night?"
17981Why do n''t you send some more men? 17981 Why do you care what I do?"
17981Why do you tell me to go ahead, to do something? 17981 Why not?
17981Why not? 17981 Why,"asked Jocelyn, after a little, her face puzzled--"why do you tell me this, when you are one of Mr. Crawford''s lawyers?"
17981Will you give me some water?
17981Will you sit down with me for a little?
17981Will you tell me about the position?
17981Wo n''t you get down?
17981Wonder who taught him that?
17981Wot are you laying down for? 17981 Wot you trying to do?
17981Would you? 17981 You ai n''t stringing us, are you?"
17981You are going on to Crawfordsville?
17981You are going to look for her?
17981You are going to ride with me?
17981You are inclined to look upon Brayley as an enemy?
17981You are serious-- or are you making fun of me?
17981You came to see my father?
17981You do n''t know father?
17981You do n''t mean that, Greek?
17981You gents reads, I reckon? 17981 You have friends with you?"
17981You have told Argyl?
17981You howlin''idiot, what are you tryin''to do?
17981You know already how Mr. Crawford built the town which is named after him? 17981 You know each other?"
17981You mean that Miss Crawford left yesterday morning and that she has not returned since that time? 17981 You mean that you had rather have money given to you than to feel that you had earned it yourself?"
17981You mean what you are saying?
17981You saw her?
17981You will excuse us, Miss Argyl? 17981 You will rush it, will you, please?"
17981You would n''t think it to look at her after seein''him, would you?
17981You''ll ride your own to- day?
17981You''re a New- Yorker?
17981You''re figuring, then, on leaving the range? 17981 Your right hand?"
17981_ You_ would have found time to come, would n''t you, Pete?
17981''Cause why?
17981A narrow- gauge running from somewhere along the main line?"
17981A rather important matter, is n''t it?"
17981About what Oliver Swinnerton is doin''an''tryin''to do?"
17981Again the question had been put to him,"What have you done?"
17981Ah, Mr. Conniston, is n''t it?
17981Ai n''t it hell, stranger?"
17981Ai n''t you got nothin''to do but stand an''gawk?
17981Am I a fool?
17981An''I''ll leave it to you if she ai n''t in the blue- ribbon class, huh?"
17981An''if he ai n''t got no use for you, you can tell that, too, ca n''t you?"
17981An''your saddle?"
17981And I found--""What?"
17981And I want to know how long you think it will take to get that dam built when once we get to work on it?"
17981And Number Three is the smaller auxiliary dam?
17981And above all other considerations, above even the half- formed wonder,"How came it there?"
17981And behind that another and another--"Am I seeing things?"
17981And do n''t you know that another man might be fool enough to-- to love her as much as you do?"
17981And here we are the Lord knows how far from home--""Have you looked through all your pockets?"
17981And if they lose?"
17981And in the morning--""Well?
17981And just as the sun comes up will you put your hand to this lever and press it down?"
17981And now all I have to do is sit tight to see--""See-- what?"
17981And now that the scales have dropped from my eyes, do I hesitate?
17981And now, Mr. Conniston-- Jimmie, you''ll pardon us?--may I have a word in private with you?"
17981And now,"whipping a big, fat note- book from his pocket,"will you sign right there?"
17981And say, Greek"--being confidentially nearer--"her old man must be tremendously rich, eh?
17981And since we have drunk to the Great Work, shall we drink to a Great Soul who is a vital part of it?
17981And that means they come to us over the P. C.& W., does n''t it?
17981And the answer?
17981And the dame, is n''t she some class, eh?"
17981And the next day?
17981And then I shall ask for my time and quit, or--""Or--?"
17981And then, blushing prettily over the hand which Mr. Hapgood was still holding ardently in his,"Wo n''t you come in?"
17981And then, with a sudden burst of something remarkably like ingenuous ardor, he exclaimed:"Why should I say anything?
17981And to the man upon his left,"Will you kindly pass me the bread?"
17981And to- morrow?
17981And what in the world do you want with me?"
17981And when he saw the way before him he asked, carelessly:"You''ll stay with me to- night, Bill?"
17981And you''re Conniston from the Half Moon?"
17981And you, Mundy and the Lark?
17981And you, Peters?
17981And, anyway, I have given you a tip, have n''t I?
17981And, do you know, I''m half in love with her already?"
17981Anything left?
17981Anything the matter?"
17981Anything?"
17981Are they all crazy?"
17981Are you drunk?"
17981Are you glad, Argyl?"
17981Are you not as good a man as these, as independent, as free to do as you like, as they are?"
17981Are you sure?"
17981Are you with me?"
17981Argyl, you will excuse us?
17981As a friend I have a right to be meddlesome, have n''t I?"
17981Brayley told you that?
17981Bring any things with you-- any personal effects?"
17981But ca n''t I have a little water, dear?"
17981But now--""Now?"
17981But there was something else-- I wonder if you think me meddlesome, Mr. Conniston?
17981But was it any keener than Brayley''s and Toothy''s; was it any stronger; was it, after all, any more highly trained?
17981But you understand what I mean?"
17981But"--and again the old shrewd look crept into his eyes--"maybe Mr. Truxton does not care to work against the reclamation?
17981But,"and he tried to make out her features in the darkness,"how does it happen that this spring has never been found before?"
17981But-- do you think that you could do any more to help her than the men you are sending out?"
17981But-- know a man named Hapgood?"
17981CHAPTER XXVII"Who was it?"
17981Ca n''t I see through clear window- glass?
17981Ca n''t even stop to look at a pretty girl?
17981Can I stick around?"
17981Can you do it?"
17981Can you do it?"
17981Can you get that far to- day?"
17981Conniston there?
17981Conniston?"
17981Conniston?"
17981Conniston?"
17981Conniston?"
17981Conniston?"
17981Conniston?"
17981Conniston?"
17981Cookie, for the love of Mike, are you goin''to keep us waitin''all night for them spuds?"
17981Did n''t he make it plain that he wanted you to double cross the old man?
17981Did n''t he make it plain that he was in a position to make it worth your while?
17981Did you dream that I could remain a part of a project a second after such a man as Conniston had been put at the head of it?
17981Did you ever see anything like her?"
17981Do n''t you know how I love you, Argyl?"
17981Do n''t you know what the little man was after?
17981Do n''t you see we win either way?
17981Do n''t you see what you have done, Argyl?
17981Do n''t you see?
17981Do n''t you want to ride with me?"
17981Do they make it out of sand?"
17981Do you fellows know that we have got to get this whole job done by the first of October?
17981Do you guess why-- have you an idea-- why father is sending you over there?"
17981Do you guess why?"
17981Do you happen to know one?"
17981Do you hear?"
17981Do you know that I have fought hard for this day, and that the hardest fighting I had before me was the fight against Greek Conniston the snob?
17981Do you know that at least I have tried to make a man of myself, even as I have tried to build ditches and dams?
17981Do you know that it is the most gloriously wonderful day I have ever known?
17981Do you know that the whole project, from its inception, has been as much hers as his?
17981Do you know the feeling you get when you steal all alone into one of those great, empty, silent churches, where it is always a dim twilight?
17981Do you know what that means?"
17981Do you mind if I talk to you now like a friend?
17981Do you realize, Mr. Conniston, how little time we have ahead of us before the first of October?"
17981Do you see now what I mean by opposition?
17981Do you see what will happen if we do n''t come up to time on our end of the game?
17981Do you understand me, Argyl?"
17981Do you want me to''andle those Johnnies?
17981Do you want the job?
17981Do you want to try it?"
17981Does not an evening like this answer their question?
17981Does not the rich man''s son get a great deal more out of the game than the poor devil who spends his life punching cows at thirty dollars a month?
17981Ever been there?"
17981Ever bossed a gang of men?"
17981Ever build a bridge or a grade or a dam or a railroad?"
17981Far out to his place?"
17981First, do you know what firm it is I represent?
17981Frankly, would not a man be a fool to work when there is no need for it?
17981Garton?
17981Garton?"
17981Get me,''bo?
17981Get me?
17981Get me?
17981Get that?
17981Goin''out?"
17981Goin''to make a go of this thing, ai n''t you, Tommy?"
17981Got a handful of hay in the shed, Tommy?"
17981Graduate of Yale--""Ever had any actual, practical experience?"
17981Had his words put the fear of death in them?
17981Had she ridden so far?
17981Has he come yet?"
17981Has n''t this thing gone far enough?
17981Has you gents et yet?"
17981Have a smoke?"
17981Have n''t even a fire, have you?"
17981Have n''t you any money?"
17981Have you any objection to my sort of roosting around and keeping my bright eye on the game?
17981Have you been to Crawfordsville?"
17981Have you boys had any breakfast?"
17981Have you figured out what more horses, what further tools you''ll need?
17981He knew that Mr. Crawford and Argyl had gone into Crawfordsville, so he gave one dollar to Brayley, saying:"Will you hand that to Mr. Crawford for me?
17981He made his own money, did n''t he?
17981He says will you send a water- wagon or will you send out a fresh party?"
17981He told of what had passed, and ended, thoughtfully:"What do you suppose was his object, Tommy?
17981He''s old man Crawford-- p''r''aps you''ve heard on him?"
17981Here where there is a fight going on every day, every night of the year, a battle royal of man against mother earth?
17981Hi?"
17981Hor do you figure on a- stepping in?
17981How about Number One, which seems to be the most important of the lot?
17981How about coffee, boys?"
17981How about you?"
17981How am I ever goin''to get anything done, an''no men to work for me?
17981How could he go to her like this?
17981How do we get all of our implements, our supplies, all of our men?
17981How is everything going?"
17981How long would the stuff last?--how long the effects of it when it was gone?
17981How much did you drop, Bart?"
17981How should he seek to explain?
17981How you managed it so easily--""Managed what?"
17981How''s the work going?"
17981Huh, Con?"
17981Huh, Con?"
17981Huh?"
17981Huh?"
17981Huh?"
17981Huh?"
17981I do n''t know no other Bills as writes books, do you, stranger?"
17981I expect,"with a sharp look at the sheriff,"Swinnerton is feeling a bit shaky of late?"
17981I guess we''d better be makin''a start, huh?"
17981I reckon he was short of cash, huh?"
17981I said, who might you be?"
17981I suppose I report to you?"
17981I think,"she ended,"that I have pretty well mixed things up, have n''t I?
17981I wonder if you know how big?
17981I wonder if you realized it?
17981I wonder when the Fates are going to drop us in order to give their undivided attention to some other lucky mortals?
17981I wonder which it will be?"
17981I-- I-- Do you happen to know anybody who wants a man?"
17981I--"And then Argyl''s words came back to him, and he surprised himself by saying:"Most men go to work when they''re strapped, do n''t they?
17981If I turned out to be the best rider, the best shot, the best roper of steers, what then?"
17981If I_ am_ meddlesome?"
17981If our scheme fails, do n''t you see that you can go to Swinnerton and demand and get a good job working for his scheme?
17981If she goes on through to''Frisco--""You would n''t be strong for stopping off out here?"
17981If there_ was_ a spring, had she clung close to it when her horse had left her?
17981If they get dissatisfied they quit, do n''t they?"
17981If you are not in a hurry to go right on?"
17981If you are not, is it asking too much to suggest that you explain?"
17981If you do n''t mind, and we can scare up a horse for me, I''d like to ride into Valley City with you?
17981If you need any help-- What''s the matter?"
17981If you wanted to work, why did you wait until the last minute?
17981If, on the one hand, they have had no great social advantages, on the other hand have they not at least made men out of themselves?"
17981If--""He is n''t?"
17981In a crisis now was his intellect any better than theirs?
17981In a very few seconds he would be like a rag doll in the other''s big, strong hands...."Well,"panted Brayley,"what are you waitin''for?
17981In his present environment was it any better?
17981In the morning?"
17981In what was he better than Brayley, than Toothy even?
17981Is Miss Crawford up yet?"
17981Is it custom here for a new man to remain standing until the foreman is seated?
17981Is it the nearest town?"
17981Is n''t that good news?
17981Is that it, Pete?"
17981Is that it?"
17981Is that the extent of your report?"
17981Is there anything else?"
17981It is no doubt none of my business-- but will you tell me why you fought with him?"
17981It soun''s like it might be_ izzles_, but what''s_ izzles_?
17981It was just as well, do n''t you think, that I sent that wire?
17981Jest as easy as ropin''a cow brute or ridin''a bronco hoss?"
17981Just wanted to get a peek at what we have done?"
17981Know Oliver personally?
17981Lordy, lordy, why did n''t somebody tell me-- and kick me?
17981Man or-- woman?"
17981Maybe he is willing to see the Crawfords and that Conniston fellow succeed in their scheme?"
17981Maybe you have heard of him?"
17981Maybe you have heard of the W. I. R.?
17981Mr. Crawford, looking up from his papers, was saying, quietly:"What is it, Argyl?
17981No favoritism-- understand me?
17981No?
17981Now what?
17981Now who happened to tell you to slap yourself down in that there chair, huh?"
17981Now, what do you know?"
17981On going to a city to live?
17981Only a something akin to the hurt surprise of a child in voice and look alike as Swinnerton queried softly:"No?
17981Or shall I put another man in your place?
17981Pray, why not?
17981Purty soon he puts a bottle on the table an''says,''Have one?''
17981Remember me to Miss Argyl, will you?
17981Say"--his voice half losing its eternal drawl--"who do you suppose she is?
17981Say, Con,"a bit doubtfully,"I would n''t mind showin''you-- you ai n''t goin''to blow it off to the boys, are you?"
17981Shall I read it to you?"
17981Shall I tell the cook to get coffee ready?
17981Shall we go into the front room?
17981Shall we telephone it out to you?"
17981She leaned slightly forward, speaking swiftly, emphatically, earnestly:"You have heard of Bat Truxton?
17981She lives out there?"
17981Should I have temporized with him-- ought I to have kept him from going away angry?"
17981Smash my fingers?"
17981Tell us about yourself, and how"--the deep- set eyes twinkling--"you like the work?"
17981That Brayley in many things is just like-- whom, do you suppose?"
17981That oughta settle it, huh?"
17981That she has been gone twenty- four hours-- all night?"
17981That what you wanted to know,''bo?"
17981That would be the best way, would n''t it?"
17981They are men, are n''t they?
17981They come to us by rail, do n''t they?
17981They do n''t answer?
17981They''re all here because they want to work, are n''t they?
17981To Miss Crawford:"We may stay here until evening?"
17981To cut something of a dash in society?
17981To- day I found out-- can you guess what I found out?
17981Tommy explained to you about the opposition?
17981Tommy, have you a horse here I can ride?"
17981True, they were drunk, but what of that?
17981Truxton?"
17981Understand what you are to do?
17981Understand?"
17981Understand?"
17981Unless you know how to set a table?"
17981Want the''ole works to pawss you w''ile you rest?
17981Want to be sure that I know, do you?
17981Want to beat me up some more?"
17981Want to see if Oliver Swinnerton is a fool, blind in both eyes?
17981Want to throw your own cayuse?"
17981Was John Crawford even now looking clearly into the future and seeing himself a beaten, broken man?
17981Was he a better man in the composite, in the grand total of manhood?
17981Was he a better man intellectually?
17981Was he a better man morally?
17981Was he a better man physically?
17981Was the combination of desert and Swinnerton and capital going to prove too much for them?
17981Were they watching to see if he was going to shoot down the men who led them?
17981Were they, after all, playing a losing game?
17981What I tell you, you will remember, is in strict confidence-- between friends?"
17981What about him?"
17981What am I to do?
17981What are you doing here?"
17981What are you going to do?"
17981What can I do for you?"
17981What can I do?"
17981What did he say, Argyl?"
17981What difference does it make to you?
17981What do you mean by the ornery ones?
17981What do you think I''m going to do?"
17981What do you think of Bat Truxton?"
17981What do you think?"
17981What do you think?"
17981What gets me is, why do people live in a place like this?
17981What happens?
17981What is it?"
17981What is the matter with Hapgood?"
17981What makes you act so strangely?
17981What sort of service do you suppose we get in the mean time?
17981What wages are your men getting?"
17981What was he going to decide?
17981What was he going to do now that he was here?
17981What was it?
17981What were they waiting for?
17981What would be the word which he was bringing?
17981What''s that, Central?
17981What''s the word, boys?
17981What''s wrong?"
17981What_ is_ the matter?"
17981When do we go to work on that?"
17981Where are your helpers?
17981Where is he?"
17981Where is it?"
17981Where is she?"
17981Where she went yesterday?"
17981Who am I to offer it to you?"
17981Who are''they''?
17981Who else would have the nerve to tackle a thing like this, to tackle it lone- handed?
17981Who would have thought to find her out here?
17981Who''ll be next?"
17981Why did Argyl want him-- to- night?
17981Why did you fight with him?"
17981Why had he come?
17981Why had n''t she told him more about the location of the spring?
17981Why had she singled him out from the others to go with her, to play the part of the menial at her orders?
17981Why one man alone?
17981Why, man, do you realize what a confounded mess you''ve got us into?"
17981Why?
17981Why?
17981Why?"
17981Will it be possible for you and Miss Crawford to come out to Dam Number One in the morning?"
17981Will you do it?"
17981Will you go back to work, Ben?
17981Will you please open that window for me?"
17981Will you tell me?"
17981With Colton Gray gone an''the rest of the P. C.& W. thieves playin''into that scoundrel Swinnerton''s hands, where do we get off?
17981Wo n''t you come in an''wait for her?"
17981Would n''t have wanted the job a week ago, would you?
17981Would not a man be a fool to eschew the pleasures of life when fortune is ready to spill them into his lap for him?
17981Would the men be fit to work to- morrow?
17981You are leaving us, then, right away?"
17981You can kill me, but what good will it do?
17981You did n''t think that I was the sort of a fellow to go back on you now, did you?
17981You do know it, Argyl?
17981You do n''t happen to know Sam, do you, stranger?"
17981You do n''t intend to stop off all alone out here in this rotten wilderness?"
17981You do n''t sleep on the ground?"
17981You fellers keepin''pretty busy, ai n''t you?"
17981You had your first job, did n''t you?
17981You have n''t been passing any bad money, have you, Billy?
17981You have the answer?"
17981You know that twenty- seven dollars and sixty cents?"
17981You know what will happen if you make a mistake and try to get too much out of them?"
17981You might have made a remark?"
17981You might run in an''eat with us?"
17981You said on that day when you first came to the Half Moon that you were going to make yourself my friend, did n''t you?
17981You see, I--""I thought you were an engineer?"
17981You spell it i- s- l- e- s. Did you ever happen to run acrost that there word, stranger?"
17981You want me?"
17981You''ll put Con wise?
17981You''re jest a little girl as has made a slip or two-- who in hell ai n''t, huh?"
17981Your seven dollars ought to keep us from starving--""Will you wire your father again?"
17981_ On the run_, do you hear?
17981_ Sabe?_"Calm- blooded by nature and by long habit, Conniston had mastered the flood of blood to his brain and grown perfectly cool.
17981do n''t you hear me, Argyl?"
17981is n''t it enough to make a man restive?"
17981snapped Brayley, as Conniston stood frowning, making no answer,"Did you think I said she wanted you to- morrow?"
17981what would that thing be?"
17981what''s the use?
16674''Happy''? 16674 ''Kay''for what?"
16674''Knew him?'' 16674 ''Saber- thrust?''
16674''_ El Mono_?'' 16674 A very dark chestnut with silver mane and tail, five- gaited, and as stylish as a lady?"
16674A_ fiesta_, eh?
16674Absolutely?
16674Ah, little truant, who has told you that you are safe?
16674Ah, who was the coward-- who was the traitor that betrayed us for a handful of silver?
16674Am I at liberty to be inquisitive-- just a little bit?
16674Am I to continue operations?
16674And after the''Angelus''--what?
16674And now that Don Mike Farrel is dead, you hope to acquire Panchito, eh?
16674And the bet?
16674And this is Conway''s work entirely?
16674And who might he be?
16674And you come to me for advice? 16674 And you wish to police this Hatfield person, sir?"
16674And you''re going home to your ranch now?
16674And your father feeds them?
16674And your mother, Farrel?''
16674And-- and-- he''s-- ceasing operations?
16674Angry, Don Mike?
16674Anita Sepulvida and her mother?
16674Anita is the only child, is she not?
16674Any butter, sugar, and cream?
16674Any danger?
16674Anything else?
16674Are n''t you the picture of bad luck? 16674 Are n''t you, John?"
16674Are there any heirs?
16674Are we to listen to naught but the champing of food?
16674Are you glad?
16674Are you going south to- night?
16674Are you quite sure?
16674Are you?
16674As is?
16674Bill, can two lone, poverty- stricken Californians hope to alter the immigration laws of the entire United States? 16674 But can you hide ten thousand sheep?"
16674But did you say you''d hike it in from Sespe? 16674 But how did you secure possession of that check, Don Mike?"
16674But how does he live, dear?
16674But if I win--"You want to know if I am in a position to support you all for one year if I lose? 16674 But is it not possible that Okada may not have sufficient money to operate on the excessive scale you outline?"
16674But this Japanese cook of_ Señor_ Parker''s, Don Miguel?
16674But where are Don Miguel and Miss Parker now?
16674But why did Loustalot hate your father so?
16674But why,Kay ventured to ask,"do the Japanese not acquire agricultural lands in the Middle West?
16674But you are going to marry her, are you not?
16674But you had n''t completed your title to this ranch, John?
16674But you''ll fight to win-- and fight to the finish, will you not?
16674But you''re going to acquire some rather soon, are you not?
16674But, John dear, why are we accumulating all this wealth? 16674 But,"she persisted,"these aliens have a legal right to own and lease land in this state, have they not?"
16674But,she persisted,"you told me your problem was settled?
16674By the way, Don Nicolás, about how many sheep have I attached?
16674By the way, Mr. Parker,Farrel asked,"who loaded you up with pro- Japanese arguments?"
16674Can you beat it? 16674 Can you produce that fifty- thousand- dollar check?
16674Can you speak Spanish?
16674Child,Pablo queried, huskily,"must we leave the rancho?"
16674Did Bill Conway indicate the direction of the tide of emigration from La Questa?
16674Did he tell you that was what happened?
16674Did n''t he say--_anything_?
16674Did you bring back my spark plugs?
16674Did you hear the question and the answer, Miss Parker?
16674Did you see Señorita Parker give Señor Conway a writing?
16674Did you try to give Pablo some money-- say, about five dollars?
16674Did you twig that?
16674Do any good for yourself in El Toro this morning?
16674Do the white farmers think that sign will frighten them away?
16674Do we go through that gate?
16674Do you agree with your father''s premise?
16674Do you know a horse in the San Gregorio named Panchito?
16674Do you mean to tell me you''ve never taken a hurdle before?
16674Do you mean to tell me, Miss Owens,Parker asked,"that you despair of educating these little Japanese children to be useful American citizens?"
16674Do you miss him, Bob, old- timer?
16674Do you not know that women loathe non- observing men?
16674Do you not think, sir, that I can afford a modicum of flippancy when I pay such a fearfully high price for it?
16674Do you plan to remain in the San Gregorio very long?
16674Do you worship your ancestors, Farrel?
16674Does all this harangue bore you, Miss Parker?
16674Don Mike is dead?
16674Ever see the Mojave in the late afternoon from the top of the Tejon Pass?
16674For instance?
16674From whom did he acquire it?
16674Getting a trifle bored with the country, Kay? 16674 Got a Jap name of Okada stopping here?"
16674Got a set of the plans with his name on them?
16674Has Señorita Parker ridden Panchito over to Señor Conway''s camp at Agua Caliente basin?
16674Has us what?
16674Have they acquired much acreage?
16674Have you any idea of what it is costing you to support that gang?
16674Have you completed your business?
16674Have you forgotten me? 16674 He declined it with profuse thanks, did n''t he?"
16674He did not?
16674He has n''t forgotten anything, and was n''t he glad to see me again? 16674 He is still here, dad?"
16674He told you Don Mike had been killed?
16674He''s only a rancher''s son from the San Gregorio; where did he acquire his drawing- room manners?
16674How about food, Pablo?
16674How about some sort of nag for mother?
16674How are we going to do that under present conditions? 16674 How come, old girl?"
16674How did you come by that check?
16674How did you know I''d soldiered in Siberia?
16674How do you do, Pablo?
16674How do you feel after your long, hard day on the range?
16674How do you know all this, Pablo?
16674How do you know all this? 16674 How do you know he is my father?"
16674How do you know he will not?
16674How do you know they know you''re home?
16674How do you know?
16674How does any Indian live? 16674 How long are you going to tolerate the presence of this healthy lot of_ cholo_ loafers and grafters, Farrel?"
16674How long has Pablo been a pensioner?
16674How many head of cattle can you run on your ranch?
16674How much money do you expect to realize?
16674How much of this principality have you left?
16674How old is your father, Farrel?
16674How soon can we put it in commission?
16674How soon will John be called upon to bow his head and take the blow?
16674How will it be possible for you to acquire that horse, Panchito, for me, dearest?
16674How would you old penny- pinchers and porch- climbers like to have a broth of a boy like that fellow for a son- in- law?
16674How?
16674I could do it within three days, I think, but why rush the execution? 16674 I wonder how many of that mythical thirty millions would be Japs?"
16674I wonder if she''s good for a fifty thousand dollar touch to pay my cement bill pending the day I squeeze it out of her father? 16674 I wonder, John, if it irritates him to have us in the house?"
16674I wonder,Kay spoke up demurely,"which ancestor from which side of the family tree put that idea in his head, father?"
16674If he''s sober- minded, may I ride him to- day?
16674If it is permitted an old servant to appear curious, Don Miguel, how long must we submit to the presence of these strangers?
16674If you are worth five thousand dollars to me,the imperturbable Pablo replied, calmly,"how much more are you worth to Don Miguel Farrel?"
16674If you please, what might they be?
16674If you were not so desperately situated financially,she wanted to know,"would you continue to pursue this man?"
16674In return for what?
16674In what way?
16674Indeed? 16674 Is it the Palomares grant?"
16674Is it true, then, that there is a real Japanese problem out here?
16674Is n''t that going to considerable trouble?
16674Is that Japanese, Okada, a member of your party?
16674Jap, eh?
16674John,she demanded of her husband,"what do you think of this young man?"
16674John,she whispered,"did you notice it?"
16674Kay,he demanded,"do you love your poor old father?"
16674Knew what?
16674Know anything about a stop- watch?
16674Know what?
16674Look here, my dear,he queried;"what brought the tears to your eyes at luncheon to- day?"
16674May I ride home with you? 16674 May I sit here with you?"
16674May we come in?
16674Miguel, dear, what are you thinking about?
16674Miguel, how did you know I was coming?
16674Mortgaged?
16674Mother, where_ did_ you learn such slang?
16674My dear man, I have n''t taken them, so why do you ask me? 16674 My good Pablo,"he queried,"what has come over thee of late?
16674Need any money, Bill, old timer?
16674Never mind, pa,Mrs. Parker consoled him;"you''ll have your day in court, will you not?"
16674No?
16674No?
16674No?
16674Not much sustenance in it, is there, old timer?
16674Notice what?
16674Now what the devil is the meaning of that?
16674Now, old soldier, are n''t you glad I took pity on you? 16674 Now, what news does that vagabond bear?"
16674Oh, did n''t you know?
16674Oh, is he badly hurt?
16674Oh, is n''t he a darling?
16674Okada wants the San Gregorio rather badly, does n''t he? 16674 Old Bill Conway, of Santa Barbara?"
16674Our Don Mike has made this possible?
16674Pablo,he demanded,"has Señor Conway been to the ranch during my absence?"
16674Pablo? 16674 Perhaps if I introduced myself-- have I your permission to be that bold?"
16674Present him? 16674 Really, Miguel?"
16674Say, how long have you known this fellow Miguel?
16674See here,Bill Conway demanded, as she handed him the check,"how much of a roll you got, young woman?"
16674Señor Parker, you hear those boy give to me hell like old times, no?
16674Shall we sing again to- morrow night, Don Mike?
16674Since when has it become the fashion to await a formal invitation to the hospitality of the Rancho Palomar?
16674So I''m building a dam to irrigate a lot of Jap truck- gardens, am I?
16674So he''s honoring you with his confidences already?
16674So that is what disturbs thee, my Pablo?
16674So the old lady wanted you for a son- in- law, eh? 16674 So you do not believe it possible for a white man to compete economically with these people, Farrel?"
16674So you''ve been his confidante, have you?
16674So you''ve come up for air, eh, Katie?
16674So?
16674Son,he demanded,"did you spoil the Egyptians and put over a Roman holiday?"
16674Spent ball, eh? 16674 Suppose our daughter should fall in love with this young man?"
16674Suppose you cool off, Mr. Pepper- pot, and tell me more about this terrible menace?
16674That''s quite a distance from here, is it not?
16674The average American does n''t impress you greatly, does he, Don Mike?
16674The delivery charges?
16674The wild, barbaric beauty of it? 16674 Then the old padre drives you home, eh?"
16674Then you mean that we entered the late war purely as a protective measure?
16674Then you think he''ll go down to defeat with his mouth shut?
16674To serve it where, Don Miguel?
16674Want to see some fun?
16674Was he the father of the boy they call''Don Mike''--he who was killed in Siberia?''
16674Well then, how about John Chinaman?
16674Well, John,the good soul demanded, when her daughter had finished speaking:"What''s wrong with that prescription?"
16674Well, Kay, did you find him pleasant company?
16674Well, Mr. Sherlock Holmes?
16674Well, is n''t it beautiful? 16674 Well, my dear, what are you laughing at?"
16674Well, what of it, Pablo?
16674Well, you bold Spanish cavalier, what do you mean by running away with my little girl?
16674Well,he demanded, presently,"you do not think any the less of me for what I did to your father this afternoon, do you?"
16674Well,the girl queried, a little subdued by his vehemence,"how has that law worked out?"
16674Were they?
16674Wha-- what-- why-- do you mean to tell me poor old Mike Farrel has lost the number of his mess?
16674What am I going to pay for it?
16674What are sheep worth, Don Mike?
16674What are you doing here, son?
16674What are your plans?
16674What became of the assassin?
16674What day was that?
16674What did you say this Pablo was?
16674What do you care what it''s for, Conway, provided you make your profit out of the contract?
16674What do you know, you squidgy- nosed old idol, you?
16674What do you mean by camping out here, Don Nicolás?
16674What do you mean by cutting into my dam- site without my permission?
16674What do you mean,''brachycephalic''?
16674What do you mean?
16674What does it mean?
16674What for?
16674What for?
16674What happened to it?
16674What has become of Okada?
16674What if Don Mike has hoisted you on your own petard? 16674 What is that little building yonder-- that lean- to against the main adobe wall?"
16674What is that?
16674What is the ranch worth?
16674What makes the wild cat wild, boys, Oh, what makes the wild cat wild?
16674What means this unaccustomed dress? 16674 What need have I for wealth, Loustalot?
16674What news, Don Miguel?
16674What now?
16674What of their religious views, Don Mike?
16674What sort of country is this where Don Mike slays our enemy?
16674What will you bet, my erudite friend?
16674What will you pay?
16674What''s a paltry fifteen thousand dollars to a man who needs half a million? 16674 What''s that?"
16674What''s the big idea, Miss Parker?
16674What''s your grouch against the Pilgrim Fathers?
16674What?
16674When do we give Panchito his try- out, Don Mike?
16674When do you plan to give your_ fiesta_, Miguel?
16674When does the redemption period expire?
16674When will Panchito be ripe to enter in a mile and a sixteenth race?
16674When you start hustling for a living, you''re a man what hustles, are n''t you?
16674When''d you light in the Palomar, boy? 16674 Where but in my home?"
16674Where did the potato baron go?
16674Where did you see Panchito?
16674Where is Murray?
16674Where is my mount, Miss Parker?
16674Where is the sheep camp?
16674Where is this old race- track?
16674Where is your home, sergeant?
16674Where those fellow_ El Mono_, he put my boss''s clothes?
16674Where will it be held, Miguel?
16674Wherefore this sudden formality, Don Mike?
16674Which horse policed him?
16674Who did it?
16674Who is the foreman?
16674Who is this gory creature Pablo just brought in?
16674Who let you out of my calaboose, Loustalot?
16674Who was telling you?
16674Whose little girl are you?
16674Why I know, Señor Parker?
16674Why are they?
16674Why are you incarcerating him in your private bastile, Don Mike?
16674Why despair, John? 16674 Why did you have to foreclose on his ranch, father?"
16674Why does n''t water run up hill? 16674 Why is he not assimilable?"
16674Why not? 16674 Why the Agua Caliente basin?"
16674Why will you not sell him to me?
16674Why, Loustalot, what has happened?
16674Why?
16674Why?
16674Why?
16674Why?
16674Why?
16674Will you motor me in to El Toro to- morrow morning?
16674Wo n''t you please be seated?
16674Wo n''t you sit down and smoke a cigar with me before turning in?
16674Wonderful old place, is n''t it, Kay?
16674Would five hundred dollars a month for the house and the use of Carolina and three saddle- horses interest you, Mr. Farrel? 16674 Would n''t Conway''s friend come to your rescue?"
16674Would you care to leave your things in the car and entrust them to father''s man?
16674Would you marry the potato baron?
16674Would you, if you were a white farmer, care to compete with the Japanese farmers of this valley? 16674 You are interested-- really?"
16674You are n''t really Spanish?
16674You bring me a telegram?
16674You despair of being able to pay my father the mortgage and regain your ranch?
16674You have n''t wasted much time in vain regret, have you?
16674You hear those boy,_ señor_?
16674You knew him well, then?
16674You live there, then?
16674You mean that?
16674You never really meant to take his ranch away from him, did you, John?
16674You owe yourself a little rest, do you not?
16674You see Don Mike? 16674 You see?"
16674You sorry, mees? 16674 You understan'',_ señor_?"
16674You want to feast your eyes on the countryside, eh?
16674You would n''t murder a man who was going to commit suicide, would you? 16674 You zink Mr. Farrel perhaps can raise in one year the money to redeem property?"
16674You zink he have prejudice against Japanese people?
16674You''ll buck up now?
16674You''ll settle with me for all work performed up to the moment of this break in diplomatic relations, wo n''t you?
16674You''re feeling quite yourself again?
16674You''re rather a Nervy Nat yourself, are n''t you?
16674You''ve been pretty well troubled, have n''t you, son?
16674You-- you''ve been waiting here-- for me?
16674Your Catalonian ancestors? 16674 Your work, Pablo?"
16674_ Quanto_?
16674_ Quién sabe_? 16674 ''You see Señorita Parker give to Señor Beel Conway a writing?'' 16674 A cow, a deer or a man? 16674 A woman, eh? 16674 After the water has passed over their wheels they''re through with it and it can be used for irrigation, can it not?
16674Ah, little dam''fool, you make believe to die, no?"
16674Ai n''t it, now, son?"
16674Am I not banking with your bank?"
16674Am I not right, Kay?"
16674Am I right?"
16674And are you alighting at El Toro also?"
16674And do you know what keeps it a- movin''?
16674And do you know why it is n''t such a rotten world as some folks claim?
16674And if he decided for the ranch there would be no reasonable excuse for the Parker family to stick around, would there?
16674And this wretch from La Questa shot him?"
16674And why should n''t I quit?
16674And why was Panchito to be sold at auction?
16674And you''ll loan him to me to beat that old scoundrel I told you about?"
16674Are not the present antics of the Supreme Council in Paris sufficient proof that saving democracy was just another shibboleth?
16674Are there any more shibboleths?"
16674Are you all grateful?"
16674Are you for me, Miguel?"
16674Are you quite certain he was serious?"
16674Are you willing to admit that Pablo Artelan is not my equal?"
16674As he was lashing their hand- baggage on the running- board, she said,"William, how long will it take you to get out to the ranch?"
16674Assuming that Parker has made a deal with the Central California Power Company, what I want to know is: Why did he do it?"
16674Bill?"
16674But are you quite certain Anita does not love you?
16674But do you hear any Japanese threats of war against Australia for this alleged insult to her national honor?
16674But how about this Jap colony?"
16674But how do you know Okada will pay cash?"
16674But tell me: How much of you is Latin and how much Farrel?"
16674But what I want to know, my dear young lady, is this: Why purchase philanthropy in fifty thousand dollar installments?
16674But what good would that do him?
16674By the way, if I may be pardoned for my curiosity, how much money did you actually win that day?"
16674By the way, may I ask the identity of the Nipponese person, with your father?"
16674By the way, where is our genial young host?"
16674Can it be that he has the gift of second sight?
16674Can it be that thy stomach refuses longer to digest thy food?
16674Can it be that under that gay, smiling, lovable surface John sees something he does n''t quite like?
16674Can we hope to keep the present Japanese population of California confined to existing areas?"
16674Can you?"
16674Captain, have n''t you been visualizing every little detail of your home- coming?"
16674Conway?"
16674Conway?"
16674Conway?"
16674Conway?"
16674Did he tell you how he won that pale- blue ribbon with the little white stars sprinkled on it?"
16674Did you ever see a bent Japanese girl of twenty waddling in from a day of labor in a field?
16674Do I make myself clear or must I illustrate the point with motion pictures?"
16674Do you happen to know if he is contemplating expanding his enterprise to include a section of southern California?"
16674Do you know, Miss Parker, that love never enters into consideration when a Japanese contemplates marriage?
16674Do you not think it would be patriotic of me to immolate myself and reduce the cost of spuds?"
16674Do you see anything inspiring or elevating to our nation due to the influence of such a race?"
16674Do you think Farrel is interested in Kay?"
16674Does anybody make me an offer?"
16674Does not Don Miguel provide all things necessary for a happy existence?"
16674Does your dad still wear a conical- crowned sombrero, bell- shaped trousers, bolero jacket, and all that sort of thing?"
16674Don Mike, how_ did_ you guess it?"
16674Eh?"
16674Eh?"
16674Ever hear that perfectly damnable shibboleth shouted by a Fourth of July orator?
16674Farrel?"
16674Farrel?"
16674Farrel?"
16674Farrel?"
16674Farrel?"
16674Farrel?"
16674Farrel?"
16674Farrel?"
16674Farrel?"
16674For heaven''s sake, where did you pal up with him?"
16674Good Father Dominic, does God still bless you with excellent health?"
16674Gosh, woman, you have some influence with him have n''t you?"
16674Got your train of thought ditched, Bill?"
16674Had the girl''s unfamiliarity with Spanish names caused her to confuse Palomar with Palomares?
16674Hatfield?"
16674Have they got two automobiles?"
16674Have you any idea,"she continued with bland innocence,"why Don Miguel is so happy this evening?"
16674Have you given some of this wine to the Parkers?"
16674Have you seen Pablo since we left together?"
16674Have you some sort of wagon?"
16674Have you told him of my plans for depleting his worldly wealth?"
16674He knows why young turkeys are hard to raise in the fall?"
16674He loves you and did n''t he say he could only give you away for love?"
16674He might misconstrue my motive-- oh, you understand, do n''t you?
16674He say to me:''Pablo, you see Señor Beel Conway give to the señorita a writing?''
16674He showed me a paper, but what do I know of papers?
16674He will forgive you, and has He not proved it by moving our dear Don Mike to save you from the plague of repairing it for many months to come?"
16674His tear- dimmed, bloodshot eyes searched the valley-- ah, what was that?
16674Hope of freedom, social and political equality, equality of opportunity?
16674How about you?"
16674How are you going to distinguish one Jap from another?
16674How be ye, Willum?"
16674How did you know?"
16674How do you know, Kay?"
16674How would you all like to come for a ride with me over to the Agua Caliente basin?"
16674How would you start, Bill?"
16674However, it is n''t nice to tell one''s otherwise lovable father that he''s a poor sport and a Shylock, is it?
16674However-- why sip sorrow with a long spoon?
16674I can not deliberately pick a fight with my father by interfering in his business affairs, can I?
16674I feel I am here on His business, for is not Panchito running for a new roof for our beloved Mission?
16674I might, in a pinch, consider paying him half that, but--""Would a quit- claim deed be worth half a million to you, Dad?"
16674I ordered him off the ranch last week; but do you think he''d go?
16674I suppose, when you realize the enormity of the odds against you, you''ll do the decent thing and--""Renew his mortgage?
16674I wish you would accept this hundred dollar bill, Pablo?"
16674I wonder what Farrel''s next move will be?"
16674I wonder who she can be?
16674I''m the reserve in this battle-- understand?
16674If I melt lead and iron and copper and silver and gold in the same pot, I get a bastard metal, do I not?
16674If I-- Why, you''re in riding- costume, are n''t you?"
16674If the_ señor_ please for let go the gray horse-- no?"
16674If you''re bound to save him in the long run, why keep the poor devil in suspense?"
16674Is Mr. Okada my equal?"
16674Is it not time that he returned to us?"
16674Is n''t John Parker stuck for it all, in the long run?
16674Is n''t he, Kay?"
16674Is n''t it wonderful?"
16674Is not Kay our sole heir?
16674Is not a ghastly war to be followed by a ghastly peace?
16674Is not the blood of my brother on your head?
16674Is that a ghost?"
16674Is that not a point worthy of consideration?"
16674Is the captain going to remain in the service?"
16674Is there anybody present who remembers a prayer or who can sing a hymn?"
16674Is there sufficient with which to enable Carolina to serve breakfast?"
16674Is this new law you''ve promulgated retroactive?"
16674Is your father a banker?"
16674John Parker, have you any idea what''s going to become of us?"
16674Kay, Kay, girl, what''s the matter with you?
16674Know him?
16674May I ask if you are going to-- ah-- marry the other lady?
16674May I have the loan of a saddle horse-- Panchito or the gray?"
16674May I inquire why you bear the tray on your left hand and carry a pistol in your right?"
16674May I sprint Panchito a little across that meadow?"
16674May I trouble you for a settlement, gentlemen?"
16674Mebbeso he forget-- no?"
16674Miguel, am I to understand that this ranch is still Farrel property?"
16674Miguel, are these dice college- bred?
16674Miguel, are you plotting against the whites?"
16674Miguel, what is the occasion of your_ fiesta_?"
16674Mike, my son, do you happen to be underwriting this contract?"
16674Mind telling me, boy?"
16674Mine?
16674Mortgage covered the entire ranch?"
16674Mr. Farrel, have you any objection to my returning this check?"
16674Mr. Parker, may I suggest that you investigate the physical condition of our Japanese friend?
16674No?
16674Now I wonder,"he continued,"what the devil actuates her to double- cross her own father in favor of a stranger?"
16674Now, if you really wish to be a humanitarian, why not search out the Japanese garlic king?"
16674Of course we understand perfectly, but-- well-- you understand, do n''t you, Miguel?"
16674Of course you mentioned to him the fact that you wanted this horse?"
16674Oh, my dear, my dear, you loved me so you would n''t let them hurt me, would you?"
16674Okada?"
16674Okada?"
16674Pablo, will you please attend to your own business?"
16674Parker?"
16674Parker?"
16674Parker?"
16674Parker?"
16674Parker?"
16674Parker?"
16674Parker?"
16674Parker?"
16674Parker?"
16674Parker?"
16674Perhaps his pride was not so high as she had rated it; what if her action had been secretly pleasing to him?
16674Quite a change from Siberia, is n''t it?"
16674Say, Mr. Parker, how do we stack up on this contract, now that Little Boy Blue is back on the Palomar, blowing his horn?"
16674Say, you ran into surprises, did n''t you?"
16674Shall we start training to- morrow?"
16674She looked him over appraisingly and queried bluntly,"Were you educated abroad?"
16674She permitted him to eat in silence for several minutes, and when he had disposed of the steak, she asked,"You live in the San Gregorio valley?"
16674So he was moved to query:"And you, little wife-- what are you thinking of now?"
16674So she proceeded, unknown to you, to finance old Conway, eh?"
16674So you''ve got religion, eh?"
16674Tell me, Pablo: Which room did Don Mike sleep in when he was home?"
16674That dashing Sepulvida girl?"
16674That rate of interest suit you?"
16674That''s fair, is n''t it?"
16674The force for keel heem is use''up when the bullet hit thees pommel, but still those bullet got plenty force for knock Don Miguel seelly, no?"
16674Then to the policeman:"How much is our high- toned Mexican friend betting and what odds does he expect?"
16674Then,"Do you enjoy the study of people, sir?"
16674They are all growing rich in this valley, but have you seen one of these aliens building a decent home, or laying out a flower garden?
16674They got that close to you?"
16674They were all glad I came back, though, were n''t they?"
16674Those boy hee''s happy, no?
16674Those ol''man who speak me leave theese rancho-- he is your father, no?"
16674Three hundred and twenty- five thousand?"
16674To begin, are you prejudiced against a citizen of Japan just because he''s a Jap?"
16674Understand?"
16674Understand?"
16674Was it fancy, or had her face really blanched a little?
16674Was it like his father to sacrifice his son''s horse to any fellow with the money to buy him?
16674We were talking about horse- racing, were we not?"
16674Well, las''night those boy hee''s peench weeth his thumb an''theese fingair-- what you suppose?"
16674Well, we''ve come to a complete understanding without falling out over it, have n''t we?"
16674Well, when hee''s nothing for do, hee''s got for do sometheeng, eh?
16674What about him?"
16674What claim have I on his sympathy or his purse?
16674What did you do with him?"
16674What did you want to see me about, boy?"
16674What do I see before me?
16674What do you want for him?
16674What do you want for that power property?"
16674What do you want?"
16674What else?"
16674What food have we at the ranch?
16674What happened in El Toro?"
16674What have you been doing all day?"
16674What he ees the matter weeth those boy?
16674What kind of hope?
16674What the-- say, ai n''t it a pity the old man could n''t have lasted until you got back?
16674What will that quit- claim deed cost me?"
16674What would you do if Kay should fall in love with him?"
16674What would you do?"
16674What you been do in my boss''s room?
16674What''s all the row about?"
16674What''s he up to?"
16674What''s his name?"
16674What''s that ballad about the old- fashioned garden, Miss Kay?
16674What''s the matter here?
16674What''s the nature of the bet?"
16674What''s the row?"
16674When I am ready will your bank be good enough to arrange the purchase of the South Coast bonds for me?"
16674When I thought young Farrel dead, I dared do business-- in my own name-- understand?
16674When Pablo and his prisoner had disappeared, she asked her husband:"What did that man say to you?
16674When can I induce you to submit to a process- server?"
16674Where are the spark plugs of my two cars?"
16674Where do we hail from, Don Mike?"
16674Where does Parker keep the limousine?"
16674Where have you been?
16674Where is Panchito?"
16674Where''s Hunter?
16674Who cares what becomes of me?
16674Who, but one quite certain of his position, would waste his time watching a race- horse trained?
16674Whom do you mean, Pablo?"
16674Why am I thinking of her?"
16674Why did n''t they retain their lands?"
16674Why do you consult me?"
16674Why go gunning for a dickey bird when you can tie up to an eagle?"
16674Why not hire a horse?"
16674Why not work on your father now while he''s in an anti- Jap mood?
16674Why not?
16674Why should I sacrifice my last chance for happiness in a vain effort to stem a yellow tide that can not be stemmed?
16674Why subject me to that annoyance when you knew you intended to refuse any offer I might make you?
16674Why, I thought you were black Irish, Farrel?"
16674Why?
16674Will the_ señor_ be good enough to step down to the betting ring with me?"
16674Will you oblige, sir?"
16674With whom has he been fighting?"
16674Would it not be well to look into his case?"
16674Would this be a dead heat?
16674Would this unknown Panchito, fresh from the cattle ranges, divide first money with the favorite?
16674Would you be willing to file a satisfaction of that old mortgage and give me a new loan for five years for the amount now due on the property?
16674Would you care to have our little daughter married to that sort of man?"
16674Would you?"
16674You are underwriting his battle with my father, are you not?"
16674You hear, Allesandro_ mio_?"
16674You just want to get home, do n''t you?"
16674You leave the train at El Toro, I suppose?"
16674You mean the ex- soldier?"
16674You realized the possibilities of that basin, then?"
16674You say this young man comes from the San Gregorio valley?"
16674You see heem with the eye?"
16674You use an English saddle, I dare say, and ride with a short stirrup?"
16674You were n''t trying to be polite just to put us at our ease, were you?"
16674Your father is rich, is he not?"
16674_ Quién sabe_?"
16674he bantered,"nobody bids?
19527Ai n''t that just like a Swede?
19527Ai n''t this a hell of a note, boy? 19527 All ready?"
19527All right?
19527Am I a wreck?
19527Am I north of the Ten Commandments?
19527Am I? 19527 Am I?"
19527Am I?
19527And Colby Macdonald-- does he understand it too?
19527And Diane?
19527And Gordon likes you, I suppose, for what you are?
19527And Gordon-- you admit he did n''t do it?
19527And I suppose I''m a gambler too?
19527And if they do n''t?
19527And your friends- in- a- hurry-- do they want a lift too?
19527Any news of the murderers?
19527Are all your things gathered ready for packing, Janet?
19527Are you Elliot?
19527Are you a good climber?
19527Are you going to live at Kusiak?
19527Are you going to the hotel or direct to your cousin''s?
19527Are you mad?
19527Are you stopped?
19527Badly hurt, Gid?
19527Been with you all the way up the river?
19527Bound for Kusiak?
19527Brought me from where?
19527But if it rains, Monsieur, the tracks will vaneesh, n''est ce pas? 19527 But what about Holt?
19527But what about the big moose, Mr. Macdonald? 19527 But what for?"
19527But what in the world are you doing here? 19527 But you do n''t intend to take my advice?"
19527But-- Good Lord, he is n''t a squawman, is he?
19527But-- how did it get here?
19527But-- why? 19527 By the way, have you had any breakfast?"
19527Ca n''t it?
19527Ca n''t you see she is done, man? 19527 Did Macdonald ask her to marry him the night of the dinner?"
19527Did Winton tell you that himself?
19527Did he?
19527Did they telephone that we were lost?
19527Did you have a good time down the river?
19527Did you leave the moral code at home when you came in over the ice?
19527Did you say that was while you were on the way over to inspect the Kamatlah coal- fields for the first time?
19527Did you say you were staying-- with Gid Holt?
19527Did you see-- that?
19527Did you sleep well?
19527Did you want me for anything in particular-- or just to get up a poker game?
19527Did you, Gordon?
19527Do I get my congratulations, Di?
19527Do n''t you know me?
19527Do n''t you know we just got in from hunting you-- two posses of us been out all night?
19527Do n''t you see he''s starving and out of his head?
19527Do n''t you think that maybe it''s only a fancy of yours? 19527 Do you deny that this is your boy?"
19527Do you know many men whose pasts are good enough for their wives? 19527 Do you know what I want with him-- why I have come to get him?"
19527Do you mean personally-- or because he represents the big corporations?
19527Do you mean that he''s square-- honest?
19527Do you mean that you-- wronged him?
19527Do you mean you''re going back to town for one?
19527Do you mean--?
19527Do you think I do n''t know you now-- how you twist and distort facts to suit your ends? 19527 Do you think I''m going to give you up now-- now, after I''ve won you-- because of a damfool scruple in your pretty head?
19527Do you think so? 19527 Does it pain much?"
19527Does n''t she? 19527 Does that excuse you?"
19527Does that prove I was planning a hold- up? 19527 Does the Government pay you to mind other people''s business, Gordon?"
19527Down in the None Such Mine, you mean? 19527 Eh, Trelawney?"
19527Ended?
19527Found work yet?
19527Four years ago last spring?
19527Get married, you mean?
19527Got your keys with you?
19527Has Elliot been captured yet?
19527Has n''t he introduced himself, boys?
19527Have n''t taken the Government mail contract, have you?
19527Have you ever been sorry for it?
19527Have you had any food?
19527Have you met_ your_ Peter? 19527 How can it be done with when-- when she''s the mother of your child, your wife before God?"
19527How did the trouble start?
19527How did you persuade Tim Ryan to lend you his huskies?
19527How do you do, Mr. Strong? 19527 How do you do, Mrs. Mallory?
19527How do you know?
19527How do you mean?
19527How goes it, Holt? 19527 How is Macdonald?"
19527How is the criminal?
19527How long since a dog team passed-- seven huskies and two men?
19527How much was there in it?
19527How old?
19527How the deuce can I help it? 19527 How''s Macdonald?"
19527How?
19527How?
19527If I had known--"D''ye think you''ve got sense enough to take a plain, straight message as far as the hotel? 19527 If he felt you had-- done him a wrong-- why did he come to you when he was ill?"
19527If that is true, why does n''t he bring some proof of it?
19527Is he? 19527 Is he?"
19527Is it that this is your first time in too?
19527Is it?
19527Is n''t he a splendid human animal?
19527Is this another plant arranged for me by you and Selfridge?
19527Is this girl engaged?
19527Is this where we change?
19527It is not fifty below yet, is it?
19527It''s a small world, is n''t it?
19527Married?
19527Meaning that I lose?
19527Meaning that Mr. Gideon Holt is the owner?
19527Must we go through that again?
19527Must you go so soon?
19527My dear, if_ you_ say it was a success--"What else could one say?
19527Name of the kid mean anything to you?
19527No?
19527Not Hanford Strong, a little, heavy- set man somewhere around fifty?
19527Not all by yourself, Billie?
19527Not on foot?
19527Now what are you going to do with us?
19527Now, ai n''t that modest of him? 19527 Now, will you please introduce me to Miss O''Neill formally?"
19527Oh, he''s back, is he?
19527Pleasant surprise, is n''t it? 19527 Pleasant time we had on the river, did n''t we?
19527Pretty nearly all in, was n''t I?
19527Says he did n''t bring her, does he? 19527 Seen Diane''s Irish beauty yet, Ned?"
19527Shellfish, did you say? 19527 Sleep well?"
19527So it''s Gordon, is it? 19527 So you... love him?"
19527That''s his story, is it?
19527That''s the way of the world, is n''t it? 19527 Then it is for my sake and not for his that you want me to drop the case against Elliot?"
19527Then why come to me?
19527They''re not leaving us surely?
19527Think we better break camp and drift?
19527This man-- who is he?
19527To Smith''s Crossing?
19527To hurt me?
19527Touch and go, was n''t it?
19527W- w- what do you want?
19527W- what are you doing here?
19527Was he a miner?
19527Was he cracked when you used to know him on Frenchman Creek?
19527We can go back together by the trough, ca n''t we?
19527Well, and was there ever a more beautiful night before?
19527Well, what d''you think of him? 19527 Well, what?"
19527Well?
19527Well?
19527Were the hammers dropped on purpose?
19527Were they working for Macdonald?
19527Whad you doing here?
19527Whad you say his name is?
19527What are you aimin''to do, Pete? 19527 What are you going to do about it?"
19527What are you going to do with me?
19527What did you mean by telling Sheba that old Holt knew her father? 19527 What do I want to go on a wild- goose mush with a bunch of bums for?"
19527What do they all do-- the good- looking ones?
19527What do you mean-- a visitor?
19527What do you think I did with the money, then? 19527 What do you want?"
19527What does Sheba think?
19527What does he look like?
19527What does it matter if they do? 19527 What doing?"
19527What for?
19527What have you got up there in your head instead of brains? 19527 What in Halifax do you want with the team?"
19527What in the world have you been doing with your face?
19527What is it that you have to tell me about this boy''s father?
19527What is she going to do at Kusiak?
19527What is your name?
19527What man_ is_ good enough for a nice girl if you come to that? 19527 What shall I sing?"
19527What time was it when you reached the corral?
19527What was that?
19527What was the matter?
19527What were you doing to him?
19527What''s he doing here at all? 19527 What''s that?"
19527What''s the use of beefing?
19527What''s the use of snapping at me like a turtle? 19527 What''s the use?"
19527What''s this I hear about you being almost killed up on Bonanza?
19527What''s worrying you now? 19527 What''s your name, kid?"
19527When is the great day?
19527Where are you going?
19527Where is it?
19527Where is she bound for?
19527Where is the rest of the gold you stole?
19527Where? 19527 Whether she wants to be happy or not, O Cave Man?"
19527Who do you think brought her?
19527Who is it?
19527Who is she?
19527Why do n''t I?
19527Why do n''t you go?
19527Why do n''t you take a paper and keep up with the news, son? 19527 Why do they put him in prison when they must know he did n''t do it-- that he could n''t do such a thing?"
19527Why?
19527Why?
19527Will they let us see him, do you think?
19527Will you come back this way?
19527You Miss O''Neill?
19527You can stay around town and not go out alone nights, ca n''t you?
19527You did n''t bring her? 19527 You do n''t know that Holt took the team himself?"
19527You do n''t mean Colby Macdonald?
19527You mean that it is broken?
19527You mean-- Elliot?
19527You mean-- Macdonald?
19527You mean-- whether you love me?
19527You think she will-- be reasonable?
19527You told her?
19527You''re going to Kusiak, are n''t you? 19527 You''re going to be fair, are n''t you, Mr. Macdonald?
19527You''re going to marry her to that man if you can, are n''t you?
19527You-- came to look for us?
19527Your father''s name-- was it Farrell O''Neill?
19527_ How_ do you do it?
19527Ai n''t you got no sense a- tall, Gid?
19527Am I to sit quiet while she is sacrificed to a code of honor that seems to me rooted in dishonor?"
19527And Sheba-- would she accept as true this weight of circumstantial evidence that was piling up against him?
19527And how had Elliot got into touch with him?
19527And who are you going to have here?"
19527And why should he take it for granted that Sheba was ready to drop into the arms of the big Alaskan whenever he said the word?
19527Any last words you want sent to relatives?"
19527Are n''t you off your usual beat a bit?"
19527Are you a plaster- cast saint yourself?
19527Are you folks for young Elliot or are you for Selfridge?"
19527Are you on his side or on Elliot''s in this matter of the coal claims?"
19527Are you quite sure this time?
19527Because you-- don''t like him-- you won''t--?"
19527But are they?
19527But are you only a big gambler?"
19527But could n''t you edge in an hour or two once a week to attend to business?"
19527But there''s such a thing as a difference between right and wrong, is n''t there?"
19527But what about her?
19527But what''s the use of hating a man when your soft arms are round him for an armor?"
19527Ca n''t you see that even if it''s true, all that is done with?
19527Can you understand that?"
19527Could Holt be telling the true reason why they had left town so hurriedly?
19527Could n''t you see it sticking out all over him?
19527Did I eat it?"
19527Did he, she asked herself, know what stake she was gambling for at Kusiak?
19527Did it ever occur to you that some people are straight-- that they wo n''t sell out?"
19527Did n''t I mention Wild- Goose Creek three or four times?"
19527Did n''t I, Gwen?"
19527Did the mine- owner mean to suggest that he had identified Elliot as one of his assailants?
19527Do n''t I get what I want now we''re through?"
19527Do n''t you figure I''m entitled to any rest?"
19527Do n''t you know it?
19527Do n''t you know that people will say anything about a man who succeeds?
19527Do we win?"
19527Do you know anybody there?"
19527Do you know that when the Indian woman came he urged Sheba not to listen to her story?"
19527Do you think I''m jumping my bond?"
19527Do you understand?"
19527Does he ever come to Kusiak?"
19527Does she know that Macdonald beat her father out of one of the best claims on Bonanza and was indirectly responsible for his death?"
19527ELLIOT?"]
19527Elliot?"
19527Elliot?"
19527Elliot?"
19527Elliot?"
19527Elliot?"
19527Elliot?"
19527Fine and dandy, eh?"
19527Guess who''s here?"
19527Had Big Bill sold him out?
19527Had Sheba found safety there?
19527Had she come into this Arctic solitude to find her tomb?
19527Had she rushed into his arms like a lovesick girl, taking it for granted that he cared for her?
19527Had the fugitives gone up the river to the creeks with intent to hole themselves up for the winter?
19527Have n''t I played the game all fall?
19527Have n''t you enough sense even to give me a chance to decide for myself?
19527Have you got it?
19527Have you got one to explain why you left town so suddenly the night the bank was robbed?
19527He''s had persuading enough, do n''t you reckon?
19527How can I accept your hospitality and then report that I think your husband ought to be sent up for life?"
19527How could Elliot know, for instance, that Miss O''Neill was not safe?"
19527How long was it, she asked herself, that Macdonald had said men could live in a blizzard?
19527How''s Wally?"
19527Howcome I to forget?
19527Howcome you to fix on me as one of the bold, bad bandits?"
19527I do n''t have to tell you why, do I?"
19527I got to make safe and sane conversation, have I?
19527I''d hate to see any of them commit suicide with none of their friends here to say,''Do n''t he look natural?''"
19527I''m your friend--""You''re his, too, are n''t you?"
19527If he''s investigating the Kamatlah claims, why does he go hundreds of miles out of his way to come in to Kusiak?"
19527If they had planned the bank robbery, why did they wait so long to buy supplies for their escape?
19527Is he as cracked as he used to be?"
19527Is it like you could persuade me that you''re telling the truth now?"
19527Is it true?"
19527Is my breakfast ready yet?"
19527Is n''t it because the glamour of his millions blinds you?"
19527Is n''t that the last thing I would have asked if I had intended robbery?"
19527Is n''t that your baby I heap crying?
19527Is n''t there another way up?"
19527Is that criminal?"
19527Is that what you want?"
19527Is that why you hang back?"
19527It would n''t be a legal marriage, would it?"
19527It''s up to us to fight, ai n''t it?"
19527Kinder queer, ai n''t it, you happened to be the man that found him?"
19527Know him?"
19527Macdonald?"
19527Macdonald?"
19527Macdonald?"
19527My luck is n''t very good, is it?"
19527No monkey business, do you hear?
19527Not likely to change your mind before Thursday?"
19527Now is n''t that the truth?"
19527Now, if Holt had with him a companion, who of all those in Kusiak was the most likely man?
19527On the other hand-- how far would he go to save the Kamatlah claims and to remove this good- looking rival from his path?
19527Or was it the winter home of a prospector?
19527Or was it their purpose to cross the divide and go out over the ice to the coast?
19527Ought I to follow her?"
19527Played the last game, have n''t we?
19527Say, Mr. Shellfish, what''s the idee of all this here back- to- the- people movement, as the old sayin''is?"
19527See?
19527See?"
19527See?"
19527Seven o''clock, did you say?"
19527Some poet had said that, had n''t he?
19527Steward, will you bring me a double order of these shirred eggs-- and a small steak?"
19527Strong?"
19527Sure it ai n''t some one else you''re thinking about?
19527The kid''s there every minute, ai n''t he?
19527The old man had been talking, had he?
19527Understand?
19527Was I right?"
19527Was his enemy going to escape him, after all?
19527Was it in his fancy only that the breeze carried to him the faint jingle of sleigh- bells?
19527Was it the very width of the gulf between them that made the appeal of the clash in the sex duel upon which they had engaged?
19527Was it tragedy upon which he had come after his long journey?
19527Was there not something almost insulting in the supposition that Macdonald had only to speak to her in order to win?
19527Was this the sort of man to murder in cold blood a kindly old gentleman who had never harmed him?
19527Were search parties out already to rescue them?
19527What about all that live stock I got in the stable?
19527What am I to do?"
19527What are you doing here, Old- Timer?"
19527What could an innocent young girl like Sheba know of such a man as Colby Macdonald?
19527What did he tell you?"
19527What did it do then?"
19527What do you mean?
19527What do you reckon Miss Sheba wants with a fat, lop- sided lummox like you along with her?"
19527What do you think?"
19527What does it mean?"
19527What else have you got against us?"
19527What evidence have you got?"
19527What had Wally Selfridge been saying to Macdonald?
19527What in Heaven''s name are you doing here, Gordon Elliot?"
19527What is he to tell her if they meet-- that her father died of pneumonia brought on by drink?
19527What is this stuff about robbin''a bank and shootin''Milton?"
19527What of it?
19527What say?"
19527What the devil did the fellow mean?
19527What was it you told me about the waterfall back of the town?"
19527What was the use?
19527What would Alaska do if anything happened to you?"
19527What''s the use of waiting?
19527When did I do it all?"
19527When did you get in?
19527Where are they?"
19527Where do you get this stuff about me being a quitter, Pete?"
19527Where is it to end?"
19527Who do you think came up on the boat with me?
19527Who else had any interest in bringing her except him?
19527Whose?
19527Why are you running around like a chicken without a head, Reeves?"
19527Why ca n''t I follow it without a guide?"
19527Why did n''t you call up?
19527Why did n''t you keep the woman with you till you could send for me, you daft donkey?"
19527Why did they persecute him?
19527Why do n''t some one fill his hide with lead?"
19527Why do n''t you go-- all of you-- and leave me in peace?"
19527Why do n''t you have your hanging- bee now?"
19527Why do you make it easy for Macdonald and hard for me?
19527Why had she not asked Gordon more explicitly what his business was?
19527Why had they come to see him?
19527Why had they not taken the river instead of the hill trail?
19527Why should any importance attach to the fact that Mrs. Mallory and Sheba O''Neill had come up the river on the same boat?
19527Why should n''t he?"
19527Why should n''t she go with him, since it was the American way for unchaperoned youth to enjoy itself naturally?
19527Why should not Macdonald woo her?
19527Why the hell should n''t I have some fun?"
19527Why was it not Genevieve Mallory that he wanted to marry?
19527Why?"
19527Will that give us time, my dear?
19527Will you meet me?"
19527Will you please step out?"
19527Will you take orders and go through with them?"
19527Will you tell me why?"
19527Will you tell me?"
19527Would she waken to love or to disillusion?
19527Would they try to reach the coast and make their get- away to Seattle?
19527Would they?
19527You ca n''t do less, can you?"
19527You told me, did n''t you, that it was all settled at last-- that our claims are clear- listed for patent?"
19527_ Has_ he won fairly?"
10886''Me?'' 10886 ''Now what in hell have you come to Elkhead for?''
10886''Then supposin''you come along with me,''says I,''an''I''ll send you home in a buckboard tomorrow?'' 10886 ''What''re you doin''round here?''
10886''Where does your folks live at?'' 10886 ''Which way shall we ride?''
10886''Who''s your folks?'' 10886 --but their muscles ai n''t a third as big?"
10886A girl in Jim Silent''s camp?
10886A man?
10886About women?
10886Ai n''t Dan got no friends among the crowd?
10886Ai n''t it enough?
10886Ai n''t it your turn to stand guard on the Cumberlands tonight?
10886Ai n''t we paid him his share ever since we started workin''these parts?
10886Ai n''t you a bit scared when you get around among real men?
10886Ai n''t you a long ways from home?
10886Ai n''t you learned no manners? 10886 Am I blind?"
10886Am I? 10886 An''Dan put him behind the bars?"
10886An''I suppose you think this is a pretty good way of dyin''?
10886An''break the heart of the ol''man?
10886An''is there any difference between this hero Whistlin''Dan an''a mad dog?
10886An''maybe you''ve forgot that I''d be swingin''on the end of a rope in Elkhead if it was n''t for Dan Barry?
10886An''now you''re goin''to lay down on me?
10886An''she? 10886 An''then?"
10886An''what about the girl now, Lee?
10886An''what are you to her?
10886An''what good would it do even if we knowed that they was the same?
10886An''what now?
10886An''what''s she doin''?
10886An''who in hell is this Whistlin''Dan?
10886And Whistling Dan Barry?
10886And all Elkhead knows that he''s the man who took you out of jail?
10886And have n''t we been always just like brother and sister?
10886And if he does n''t listen to me?
10886And if we turn him loose?
10886And no harm will come to her while she''s with us?
10886And take her away from Jim Silent?
10886And the girl?
10886And then where did Cumberland go?
10886Any other news, Lee?
10886Anything wrong?
10886Are n''t we safe?
10886Are n''t you coming with us?
10886Are there any guards in the jail?
10886Are we now?
10886Are you afraid of a girl?
10886Are you dumb, Kate? 10886 Are you gettin''weak?"
10886Are you goin''to spoil all the work I done today with that girl?
10886Are you going to send him away simply because he''s strong?
10886Are you hurt badly?
10886Are you playing with me?
10886Are you ready?
10886Are you unhappy, Dan?
10886Brown- eyes,she said swiftly,"that feller who sat beside you-- is he your partner?"
10886Buck, is he dead?
10886Buck,he said,"I do n''t know how you did it, but I have an idea--""Did what?"
10886But Kate, do n''t you understand--?
10886But how in the name of God c''n you make her go out an''talk to him?
10886But suppose we were to let you go scot free?
10886But they''d still want to kill Dan?
10886But when I''ve choked his damned life away----"Yes?
10886But when they find us gone?
10886But you have n''t another gun hidden on you, Jim? 10886 But you''ve lost him, Kate, do n''t you understand?"
10886Ca n''t do nothin''with her?
10886Ca n''t you promise that these men will not fight with him?
10886Ca n''t you understand that it''s_ you_ they threaten?
10886Can I do somethin''with her?
10886Can not?
10886Can the bay make it?
10886Can you trust me?
10886Chief,said Haines,"last night while he watched the shanty, I watched_ him!_""Well?"
10886Cumberland went to you when he got out of the valley?
10886D''you always wait for''real reasons''before you set your fat hands on a wad of money?
10886D''you bring along that gun of mine I left at your house?
10886D''you mean to say none of the boys please her?
10886D''you really think I''d get some boys together to round up Whistlin''Dan? 10886 D''you really think you could do somethin''with her, Buck?"
10886D''you think_ you''d_ have any better luck with her?
10886D''you want to stand guard over her yourself?
10886Damn you, d''you hear me?
10886Dan, I''m goin''to ask you a favour-- an''a big one; will you do it for me?
10886Dan, dear, wo n''t you speak to me? 10886 Dan,"he said,"do you know anything about Sheriff Gus Morris?"
10886Dan?
10886Danger?
10886Did he give you the dope?
10886Did he say Tex Calder?
10886Did n''t Rhinehart tell you?
10886Did she ever lean close to you, so''s you got the scent of her hair, Lee?
10886Did she ever let her eyes go big an''soft when she looked at you?
10886Did she ever smile at you like she done at me?
10886Did you anyways have Whistlin''Dan in mind?
10886Did you figger on plumb bustin''my heart, pal?
10886Did you hear Brown- eyes say that the broad- shouldered feller next to him was his friend?
10886Did you only bring one glass? 10886 Did you see the black devil when he snarled at me in front of Morgan''s place?"
10886Do I lie?
10886Do n''t I know that?
10886Do n''t Morris''s confession make no difference?
10886Do n''t they give him no thanks for catching the rest of Silent''s gang?
10886Do n''t they look like it to you, honey?
10886Do n''t you care for me any more than for your horse-- and your dog?
10886Do n''t you know that Gus Morris gives us all the news we need, Buck?
10886Do n''t you see no reason why you ca n''t do that?
10886Do n''t you see?
10886Do n''t you understand?
10886Do you figger you''ll find it?
10886Do you hate everyone because one man is dead? 10886 Do you really think,"she burst out,"that the old wildness is still in Dan?"
10886Do you really trust me as far as this?
10886Do you think he''s still here?
10886Do you?
10886Does n''t it?
10886Done? 10886 Elkhead?"
10886For God''s sake, was there no other way of getting me out?
10886Get Haines back?
10886Give me a strip of that old shirt over there, will you, Tex?
10886Glad?
10886Go to hell with your questions,said Silent,"but until you go there you''ll do what I say, understand?"
10886Gus,said the outlaw,"how many thousand have I given you?"
10886H''ware ye, boys?
10886Haines,said Silent sharply,"are you serious?"
10886Has anybody got any suggestions?
10886Has he said her last name, Buck, or has he given you any way of findin''out where she lives?
10886Have you any objections to me camping with you here?
10886Have you ever seen a mule, Kate?
10886Have you got a fast hoss?
10886Have you seen anything of Silent here among the willows?
10886Have you seen much of Jim Silent lately?
10886He liked the girl, Lee?
10886He talks about Lee havin''the girl?
10886He''s doing it while he still loves her,muttered Haines,"and am I cur enough to take her from him after he has saved me from God knows what?"
10886He''s one of them?
10886Heard the whistling today?
10886Here you are,called Morgan, who stood at a distance of twenty paces,"are you ready?"
10886Him?
10886His mind?
10886How about it, bar- keep, is this the dead shot you was spillin''so many words about?
10886How about yourself?
10886How can I do that? 10886 How can he get Haines?
10886How can she ride with us?
10886How can you keep such a wild fellow as this without hobbling him?
10886How d''you know?
10886How d''you mean?
10886How did he come here?
10886How did he look?
10886How did you do it?
10886How did you know?
10886How do you come here-- with him?
10886How do you know it''s him?
10886How do you know?
10886How do you stand, Jim?
10886How does he come here?
10886How does it come that you''re so interested in Dan?
10886How does the wind find its way?
10886How long have you been here?
10886How long you been standin''at that door?
10886How much? 10886 How old are you, Tex?"
10886How you feelin'', Dan?
10886How''d I know why he done it? 10886 How''d it come to be delayed?"
10886How''ll you know when he leaves the willows?
10886How''s that?
10886How''s that?
10886How?
10886I always granted Jim Silent a lot of sense,he said,"an''has he really left you alone all this time?
10886I dunno,said Dan evasively,"why are you askin''?"
10886I jest wanted to ask,said Dan,"if these are real men?"
10886I s''pose they''re makin''a hero out of him?
10886I s''pose,said Purvis,"that you would n''t care special for an easy lump sum of ten thousand, what?"
10886I say, Lee,he said,"you look sort of used up this mornin'', eh?"
10886I suppose you heard about what happened to the chap you beat up at Morgan''s place the other day?
10886I suppose,he said good humouredly,"that your_ instinct_ brought you this message?"
10886I suppose,said Haines,"you think you''re man enough to change her?"
10886I suppose,said Silent,"that you''re some rider, eh?"
10886If I had let them go,interposed Buck,"do you suppose I''d be here?"
10886If it had n''t been for Haines, would the girl''s father be here?
10886If you did n''t know my name why were you trailin''me?
10886If you do n''t want to get him,he said,"why in God''s name are you trailing him this way?"
10886In the dark?
10886In the name o''God, Buck,moaned Sam,"what you been tryin''to do in here?"
10886In the name of God, Barry, why do you talk like this after you''ve saved me from hell?
10886Instinct?
10886Is he?
10886Is he?
10886Is it a safe bet? 10886 Is it because of your pretty face or your winnin''smile?"
10886Is it so hard to do?
10886Is it time?
10886Is that final?
10886Is that final?
10886Is that playin''fair?
10886Is that so? 10886 Is that straight?"
10886Is this what you want me to turn loose?
10886It ai n''t pleasant, is it, the picture of big, good- lookin''Lee danglin''from the end of a rope with the crowd aroun''takin''pot- shots at him? 10886 It makes it bad for me, does n''t it?"
10886It will be soon? 10886 It''s an inner sense, eh?
10886Kate, is Lee Haines one of Silent''s gang?
10886Kate, would you talk to the wind?
10886Kate,stammered her father,"what has happened?"
10886Kate--"Dan, you_ do_ understand?
10886Lee,he muttered to Haines, who stood next to him,"what do you think he meant by that?
10886Life''s gettin''too peaceful for you, eh?
10886Look here, Barry,called a voice from the rear of the crowd,"why do you want to take Haines away?
10886Look here, Jim,said Hal Purvis,"are you a king an''we jest your slaves, maybe?"
10886Look here, Purvis, ai n''t Buck one of your own men? 10886 Look here,"said Calder,"how''d you know us?"
10886Lost on the range?
10886Love? 10886 Luck?"
10886Maybe I''m wrong, partner,he was saying,"an''maybe you c''n prove that_ your_ gun ai n''t jest ornamental hardware?"
10886Maybe that gun of yours would be catchin''cold if you was to leave it out of the leather long?
10886Maybe you know the reason, Kate?
10886Miss Cumberland,said Haines,"may I introduce myself?
10886Morris, why d''you hate smallpox?
10886Nick four round boys before they hit the dust?
10886Oh, Dan?
10886Old man Perkins, did n''t he tell us that Haines was the man that Whistlin''Dan Barry had brought down into Elkhead? 10886 On your honour, do you see no other way out?"
10886One man agin a whole town full? 10886 Pick up anything?"
10886Queer?
10886Sam, have you forgot that this lad has eat your food in your house?
10886Say, ai n''t Haines goodlookin''enough to please her?
10886Says I:''When do you figure on reachin''home?'' 10886 Shall I take her away?"
10886Shall I tie your horse?
10886Shall we give up the trail and take him over to Elkhead?
10886She fainted, eh? 10886 She sent you for me?"
10886Shootin''at night?
10886Shorty told you about Tex Calder?
10886Shot?
10886Silent,said Haines,"can you explain how the lightning comes down out of the sky?"
10886Some feller?
10886Some more about what?
10886Some reason for not letting him have a gun?
10886Start up your works agin, will you, Bill?
10886Starve herself to death?
10886Steady up? 10886 Stranger, d''you think you c''n run the world?
10886Sure,growled he of the black beard, and after a moment he added:"Been out on the trail long, pardner?"
10886That calico? 10886 That fellow on the black horse down the road,"said Lee Haines,"I guess he''s the one that can hit the four dollars?
10886That tall horse?
10886That''s me-- specially about their bein''Y Circle X fellers, eh?
10886The news is plain hell,said Purvis,"Haines--""What of him?"
10886The one who was sneering at Dan?
10886The tall man?
10886Then what in the world made Sandy freeze while his hand was on the way to his gun?
10886Then what must I do?
10886Then what the devil is it? 10886 Then where is he?
10886Then you wo n''t send him away?
10886Then you_ do_ know what I mean when I say Dan is-- different?
10886There ai n''t no idea,he answered,"but these Daniels people-- do you know anything about them?"
10886There ai n''t no way of changin''you?
10886There is n''t any other way, Jim?
10886They are flying south?
10886This Tex Calder----"What about him?
10886To free Haines?
10886To who?
10886Unless you''re feelin''uncommon grateful to him for what he done for you, Lee?
10886Was it for Dan or Kate that you did it?
10886Was it from Dan Barry that you brought word?
10886Was that the straight dope you give Shorty?
10886Was this your friendship?
10886Well, Kate?
10886Well,said Purvis,"if that''s done, ai n''t the game worth while?"
10886Well,said the chief,"what''s the news?
10886Well?
10886Well?
10886Well?
10886Were n''t there enough boys here to string him up?
10886What about Barry?
10886What about him?
10886What about that train? 10886 What about the feller who''s goin''to take Lee Haines out of Elkhead?"
10886What about the girl?
10886What big bust?
10886What can I do?
10886What can I do?
10886What can I do?
10886What can we do with this fellow, Dan?
10886What can we do?
10886What could of made him do it?
10886What d''you mean, Hardy?
10886What d''you mean? 10886 What d''you mean?"
10886What d''you mean?
10886What devil gave Silent that idea?
10886What did he do?
10886What did he say?
10886What do you mean?
10886What do you mean?
10886What do you mean?
10886What do you think we should do with her, Solomon?
10886What do you want of me?
10886What do you want to say? 10886 What do you want us to do?"
10886What do you want, Bart?
10886What does it mean?
10886What fetched you here?
10886What has she done?
10886What in hell did he mean by that?
10886What in hell do you mean, Lee?
10886What in hell do you mean?
10886What is it, Dan?
10886What is it, boy?
10886What is it? 10886 What is it?"
10886What is it?
10886What message did you bring to her, Buck?
10886What of Dan? 10886 What of Dan?"
10886What of him?
10886What pattern, Dan?
10886What tall man?
10886What the devil is this now?
10886What the devil''s the meaning of all this?
10886What the hell''s the matter?
10886What the hell?
10886What type does she like?
10886What were you hummin''?
10886What you grinnin''about?
10886What you sayin''?
10886What''d you do to my hoss?
10886What''n hell is that for?
10886What''s all this stuff about?
10886What''s happened? 10886 What''s new about him?
10886What''s that?
10886What''s that?
10886What''s the dope?
10886What''s the main idea of them two new men out in your front room, Lee?
10886What''s the main idea?
10886What''s the matter with him?
10886What''s the matter with that?
10886What''s the matter, Kate-- dear?
10886What''s the matter, Lee?
10886What''s the matter, honey?
10886What''s the matter?
10886What''s the matter?
10886What''s the matter?
10886What''s the message?
10886What''s the reason of it?
10886What''s the trouble?
10886What''s up? 10886 What''s up?"
10886What''s your hurry to see her?
10886What''s your hurry? 10886 What?"
10886What?
10886What?
10886When? 10886 Where is the wound?"
10886Where''d you hear it?
10886Where''s Barry?
10886Where''s Jim Silent?
10886Where''s Silent?
10886Where''s the harm?
10886Where? 10886 Where?"
10886Where?
10886Who are you?
10886Who got you, Rogers?
10886Who has?
10886Who in hell are you? 10886 Who in the name of God are you?"
10886Who knows that_ I_ beat him up?
10886Who was it you talked about a while ago?
10886Who was it? 10886 Who was that?"
10886Who was the message from?
10886Who''ll hold the stakes?
10886Who''ll start first?
10886Who''s got any money to bet this damn wolf lives more''n five seconds?
10886Who''s in the house here with you?
10886Who''s that beneath the window?
10886Who''s that singin''down the canyon?
10886Who''s that? 10886 Who''s the girl riding up the road, pardner?"
10886Who?
10886Whose liquorin''?
10886Why are you tryin''to take your hand away, Kate?
10886Why d''you hate him so?
10886Why did you whistle for this infernal wolf? 10886 Why do n''t the rotten dog give Haines a chance to make a getaway?"
10886Why do n''t you speak, Kate?
10886Why not come over with me now?
10886Why not go after him tonight?
10886Why not?
10886Why should I beat it?
10886Why the hell ca n''t you?
10886Why wo n''t we?
10886Why''d he move?
10886Why?
10886Why?
10886Why?
10886Why?
10886Wild? 10886 Wild?"
10886Will he let us know when it_ does_ come through?
10886Wo n''t you hear me explain? 10886 Would he though?"
10886Would you really try to take Haines out?
10886Would you trust my honour?
10886Yeh-- I suppose you never pulled leather in your life?
10886Yes, where is he? 10886 Yes?"
10886Yes?
10886Yes?
10886You ai n''t cryin'', honey?
10886You are not afraid?
10886You do n''t hold it against me?
10886You do n''t mind me goin'', Kate?
10886You do n''t think that_ I_ did that?
10886You got a good hoss, but you ai n''t fool enough to think he c''n catch Satan?
10886You have noticed Dan among the crowd?
10886You hear her?
10886You heard her name?
10886You look as if you seen somethin''in my face?
10886You remember I gave you my word that no harm would come to Barry?
10886You said you had no dope on when that delayed shipment was comin''through?
10886You seem to have been doin''some tall thinkin''yourself,said Silent drily;"you guess the cowpunchers are goin''on our trail on their own hook?"
10886You seen Hardy?
10886You still busy hatin''me?
10886You swear it?
10886You was crawlin''along like that jest for fun? 10886 You will not forget me?"
10886You wo n''t go?
10886You wo n''t leave me now?
10886You wo n''t stir?
10886You wo n''t think I''m loco?
10886You''re Lee Hardy, are n''t you?
10886You''re a little peeved, ai n''t you Lee?
10886You''re comin''in mighty late,he growled,"Did n''t you get the signal?"
10886You''re quite a joker, ai n''t you Calder? 10886 You''re quite a man, ai n''t you?"
10886You''re ready?
10886_ He_ brought you here?
10886_ You?_"Me!
10886_ You_ fixed it with Whistlin''Dan?
10886''Look here, Shorty, are you loco to come ridin''into Elkhead this way?''
10886''Where do you belong, sonny?''
10886''Why,''says I,''the town''s all right, ai n''t it?''
10886Ai n''t I apt to find it?"
10886Ai n''t Silent told you that I''m on the inside of the game?"
10886Ai n''t that queer?
10886Ai n''t you jest said men made you sort of-- nervous?"
10886All she could say was:"Will you listen to me no more, Dan?"
10886Am I right, boys?"
10886Am I still in Morgan''s place?
10886An''she?"
10886An''then what happened?
10886An''when he catches up with us-- well, all I''m askin''is that you remember what he done to them four dollars before they hit the dust?"
10886An''who the hell cares where he is?"
10886An''you''re still thinkin''of them blue eyes, Jordan?"
10886An''you, Purvis, you''re aching to get at me, ai n''t you?
10886And Dan?"
10886And why should not a man with the courage to take an outlaw from the centre of Elkhead be charged with every crime on the range?
10886Are we going to talk business like friends?"
10886Are women the same-- jest cut after one pattern?"
10886Are you all in?"
10886Are you dry?"
10886Are you lost, lady?"
10886Are you on?"
10886Are you on?"
10886Are you still thinkin''about that?"
10886Are you too damn good to drink with me?
10886Are you with us?"
10886At the foot of the table Jacqueline''s right- hand neighbour was saying:"What happened, Jac?"
10886Before any one could speak he poured in another volley between wind and water:"One slip of a girl can make fools out of five long riders?
10886Buck, what has happened?"
10886But how''d you answer to Jim Silent, Rogers?
10886But look here, ai n''t you ever felt that Dan is what I call him-- different?
10886But what are we goin''to do with him?
10886But what''s the use of talking?
10886But why should we ask too many questions?"
10886Can you trust me now?"
10886Counterfeit?"
10886D''you figger he''s got somethin''up his sleeve, an''that''s why he acts so like a damned woman?"
10886D''you honest think that havin''the girl here would do any good, ma?"
10886D''you take it?"
10886D''you think Morris knew you when you came in?"
10886D''you think maybe it''d sort of peeve them?"
10886D''you think you could double cross me an''get by with it?"
10886Damn near died of homesickness, did n''t you?"
10886Did Whistlin''Dan get Lee from behind?"
10886Did n''t she have a bright mornin''smile for you?"
10886Did you see?
10886Did you see?"
10886Dirt?"
10886Do you dream any one could turn him back?"
10886Do you know anything about it?"
10886Do you know what I''ve been tryin''to do all these years?"
10886Do you know what it is?
10886Do your folks generally let you run around like this?"
10886Does Kate Cumberland-- what is she to you?"
10886Does it bother you, mister?''
10886Eh?''
10886Got two extra plates, Jac?"
10886Got''em?
10886Had her father after all been right?
10886Haines, I''m askin''you man to man, was there any one ever born who could get away from four men like us?"
10886Hal, do you remember the way he settled to his stride when he lighted out after Red Pete?"
10886Have n''t we grown up together?"
10886Have n''t you got somethin''else right on the tip of your tongue?"
10886Have you gone loco too, Haines, to let a girl come here?"
10886He cried,"Ai n''t we got enough trouble without roundin''up work at home?
10886He jumped up from the desk an''sung out so''s his clerk in the outside room could hear:''How are you, lad?''
10886He spoke more loudly:"Are you makin''that bet for the sake of arguin'', partner, or do you calculate to back it up with cold cash?"
10886He stammered:"Maybe you''ve changed your mind an''come back for that five thousand?"
10886Here were five practised fighters who feared nothing between heaven and hell, but what could they avail him against a bodiless spirit?
10886How could Haines do this shootin''while he was in jail?"
10886How could Lee have the girl, him bein''in jail at Elkhead?"
10886How does he know we are hunting for Silent''s crew?"
10886How much am I worth to the little old U.S.A.?"
10886How much did they offer you, Lee?
10886How was the watch, Buck?
10886How''d I know why he turned me loose when he should of took me to Elkhead to be lynched by the mob there?
10886How''s things at the camp?"
10886I do n''t say he''s still wild-- but why is he so late tonight, Kate?
10886I figger you do n''t think how it can be done, eh?"
10886I made it a bit high, Dan?"
10886I s''pose they jest nacherally evaporated durin''the night, maybe?"
10886I suppose I''ve been takin''Silent''s money?"
10886I thought you had him fixed for us, Jim?"
10886I''d jest popped my head through the door an''sung out:''Hello, Hardy, how''s the boy?''
10886Is he playing us dirt now?"
10886Is n''t it our job to comb the willows?"
10886Is n''t that funny, Kate?"
10886Is that right?"
10886Is there any one takin''that bet?"
10886Kate, do you remember how I found him?"
10886Lee?"
10886Like the smell of the bloodhound?"
10886Maybe if I had him on a chain I could change his manners some, eh?"
10886Maybe you can get a job for them here, eh?
10886Maybe you''d like to see him?"
10886Maybe you''ll guess who the man is?"
10886Miss Kate, wo n''t you listen to me?"
10886Morgan sighed; he hesitated, and then:"But you promised you''d do me a favour, Dan?"
10886Morgan?"
10886Nice an''quiet an''house broke, ai n''t he?
10886No objections?"
10886Now what about the fight?"
10886Now, Kate, do you begin to see what these here things point to?"
10886Oh, God, Tex, what c''n I do to fight agin this here cold feelin''at my heart?"
10886One of them was--""What did they do?"
10886Out of the dead silence broke the roar of the sandy- haired man:"What''n hell d''you mean by that?"
10886Pocketed the cheque?
10886Presently he heard the soft call of Kate:"Is it time?"
10886Same bunch of coin?"
10886Savvy?
10886Savvy?
10886Seen him around here?"
10886Shall I give a girl like Kate Cumberland to that wild panther?
10886She''d make his brain quiet, an''then his body''ll take care of itself, savvy?"
10886She''ll take him off our trail, and I guess none of us''ll be sorry to know that he''s gone, eh?"
10886She''s a great looker, eh, Lee?"
10886Shorty Rhinehart in here to see you, Lee?"
10886Suppose you were to meet a black panther down here in the willows?"
10886Tamed?
10886Tell me man to man, if I give you the chance will you break loose from Silent and his gang?"
10886Tell me, Buck dear, have you got a plan?"
10886That other one looks like a hard nut, eh?"
10886That tall feller is sure a queer one, ai n''t he?"
10886That way she''ll meet him and head him off, savvy?"
10886That writin''I was tellin''you about--""Yes?"
10886Then I''ll ask you to stay around for a while in case the whistling should sound again, do you see?
10886Then Silent asked:"What news, Jordan?"
10886Then Silent cried out:"Then what was that whistlin''I''ve heard down the road behind us?"
10886Then he steps up close to me an''whispers in that voice:''D''you know who''s on Silent''s trail now?
10886There ai n''t any hurry-- What''s this here?"
10886They ai n''t no trust to be put in''em?"
10886They''s a girl up there--""A girl?"
10886Understand?"
10886Understand?"
10886Want to come along with us?"
10886Was he hurt bad?"
10886Was-- was he hurt?"
10886Well, partner, you see that roan over there?"
10886What about him?"
10886What about that shipment?"
10886What are you plannin''to do?"
10886What could it prove?"
10886What d''you mean by trailing this man- killer around?"
10886What d''you think he done?
10886What did it avail him?
10886What did you say to her?"
10886What do you think they''d do in Elkhead if a letter came for Dan Barry along about now?"
10886What fetched you here?"
10886What happened?
10886What if something had happened to Dan?
10886What in hell do you mean by it?"
10886What power had Dan, if he needed her, to communicate with this mute beast and send him to her?
10886What sort of a looking fellow is he?"
10886What''s all that talkin''about Delilah?"
10886What''s happened?"
10886What''s he sayin'', Buck?"
10886What''s that?"
10886What''s the matter with me goin''back for that gun?
10886What''s the matter, pa?"
10886What''s the name of the other?"
10886What''s up?"
10886What''s your name?"
10886Where is he?"
10886Where is this camp?"
10886Where you going, Lee?"
10886Where''s Kate?"
10886Where?"
10886Who are they?"
10886Who''s Delilah, Dad?"
10886Who''s Delilah, an''who''s Kate?"
10886Who''s got a match?"
10886Who''s that talkin''with your dad outside?"
10886Who''s there?"
10886Who, for instance?"
10886Why does she talk so low, ma?"
10886Why had the others gone so soon?
10886Why, Kate, what in the world are you laughin''about?"
10886Why?"
10886Will you go an''talk with Dan?
10886Will you liquor, pal?''
10886Will you listen?"
10886Will you look at him?
10886Will you see that if trouble comes he is not imposed upon?"
10886Will you stay here an''see that he do n''t get away?
10886Will you try?"
10886Will you?"
10886Wo n''t you tell me that you try to understand?"
10886Would you like to hear part of it?"
10886Would you rather be back in Elkhead dangling from the end of a rope?"
10886You do n''t figger to be peeved at me, do you?"
10886You know Silent''s a bad man with his hands?"
10886You know that, Kate?"
10886You over there-- you, Shorty Rhinehart, you''d cut the throat of a man that looked crosswise at the Cumberland girl, would n''t you?
10886You remember I said I was goin''to clean up the landscape?"
10886You simply tip them off when your visitors are riders the government wants, see?
10886You wo n''t try to shoot him up?"
10886_ You?_"His face lengthened almost ludicrously.
10886exclaimed Jordan,"do n''t you see Whistling Dan''s wolf?
10886said the big man,"ai n''t you started yet?"
10886she asked,"Whistling Dan?"
10886she said, her voice shaking with hate and sorrow,"to bring me here as a lure for Whistling Dan?
18933''Cause why did I take that chance? 18933 A whip?"
18933After all he''s done, let him go? 18933 Ai n''t I said it?"
18933Ai n''t he got the manner of a dook?
18933Ai n''t she, Guy Little? 18933 Ai n''t she?"
18933All of which you rather doubt, eh, Bill?
18933All ready, Blenham?
18933Am I to stand everything from that man and from my old fiend of a grandfather? 18933 An'',"continued Royce, his voice lowered a trifle,"an''what did you say about it, Stevie?
18933An'',continued old man Packard,"where''s-- she?"
18933An''--an''Blenham''s right across there now? 18933 An''--an''what for did you sen''for me, Steve?
18933An''again you''re claimin''to run the ranch here? 18933 An''as for them steers-- what''s it to you, anyhow?"
18933An''big?
18933An''that Blenham''s here?
18933An''the boys says you have been losin''stock an''blamin''it to me? 18933 An''you wanted me?
18933An-- an''she likes----"Flowers on the table? 18933 And be shot down like a dog?
18933And do you know that what I told you this afternoon was true?
18933And she''s having the time of her life, is she?
18933And they all got away?
18933And where are you driving those steers?
18933And you have n''t been back to it all these months?
18933And you would n''t be afraid to use it?
18933And you''d come to the rim of the valley either by Hell Gate pass or through the old Indian Trail, would n''t you? 18933 And-- spank me, would you?"
18933Anything wrong with him?
18933Anything wrong with the car?
18933Are you as savage as you looked?
18933Are you going to shake hands?
18933Barbee says you want me, Steve?
18933Barbee''s gone, ai n''t he? 18933 Barbee,"said Steve after a little,"remember the night Blenham tried to bribe you with a thousand- dollar bill?"
18933Being merely the devil''s grandson,grinned Packard,"suppose I tuck in and help?
18933Blenham and you?
18933Blenham tells me you fired him las''night?
18933Boss of the timber crew on the east side of Number Ten? 18933 But that''s purty near the same thing as havin''the gamblin''spirit, ai n''t it?
18933But the end''s come now; ai n''t it, Steve, ol''pardner? 18933 But when it comes to tackling Hell- Fire Packard with a mouthful of fool questions-- Look here; who are you anyway?"
18933Call me a liar?
18933Call me?
18933Climbing on your high horse, are you? 18933 Come again?"
18933Cool old cucumber, ai n''t you?
18933Crept in like a damn''thief in the night, did he? 18933 Damn it, Guy Little,"he boomed out boisterously,"ca n''t a man laugh when he feels that- away?"
18933Defy me, do you? 18933 Detained by what?
18933Did he tell you anything? 18933 Did n''t I say I did?
18933Did n''t take you all year to find her, did it?
18933Do I, Steve?
18933Do n''t know a whole lot about cars, do you?
18933Do n''t you know, young lady, you''ve got to be careful sometimes? 18933 Do you care to tell me,"said Terry tartly,"why you''re always getting in my way?
18933Do you?
18933Does it, Royce?
18933Expect me to pull my freight at the say- so of the first stranger that blows in an''invites me to hand him my job?
18933Fine day, is n''t it?
18933Fired? 18933 First thing,"he suggested cheerfully,"are you going to ask me to have breakfast with you?"
18933Fool, are you, Steve Packard? 18933 Forget that friendship gag before you think of it, will you?"
18933Fourteen counting you?
18933Fresh? 18933 Get the money I gave Hodges for you?"
18933Go ahead; what do you mean?
18933Go on: anything else to report?
18933Goin''to eat me alive?
18933Goin''to tie him up an''give him a whippin''with a blacksnake?
18933Goin''to tie him up an''whip him, Steve? 18933 Going away?"
18933Going to eat?
18933Gone crazy, Bill? 18933 Gone?"
18933Got my wire, did n''t you, saying that I was unavoidably detained?
18933Grandfather,he said slowly,"suppose we take a little more time in getting squared around?
18933Gratitude? 18933 Greenbacks?"
18933Gunman, are you?
18933Hands up? 18933 Happen to know of any of the cattle outfits around here that are short- handed?"
18933He did n''t put one over on you? 18933 He did?"
18933He has not hurt you, Terry?
18933He said that, Blenham?
18933He''s here, is n''t he?
18933Hear me?
18933Heeled?
18933How about the old Indian Valley, Drop Off Valley, as they call it now?
18933How do you know it''s Blenham''s? 18933 How do you know?"
18933How do you make that out?
18933How do you mean''stole''it from him?
18933How long ago?
18933How many men have you got here, Woods?
18933How many men?
18933How much is in it?
18933How much?
18933How''s dad?
18933How''s that? 18933 How''s that?"
18933Huh, boys?
18933I hope you do n''t mind if I trespass to the extent of riding after those steers?
18933I reckon you understan'', do n''t you, Blenham?
18933I said it was a free country, did n''t I? 18933 I thought you said----""I got it safe?
18933I''ll look him up; yesterday he had them, you say?
18933IF HE KNOWS-- DOES SHE?
18933If hats are sellin''ten dollars or under?
18933If he ca n''t be decent to me, ca n''t he at least let me alone? 18933 If he knows,"was his perplexity,"Does she?"
18933If he''s hungry,came the cool answer from a room somewhere toward the other end of the long house,"why ca n''t he forage for himself?
18933If it had n''t been for you, Steve Packard,''laughed Terry a trifle unsteadily but quite happily,"where would I have been?"
18933If it is Blenham,Steve offered coldly,"and if you are playing square with me, how does it happen that he can get away with a thing like this?
18933If there''s some crime, some string of crimes that I have committed----"Will you tear up those papers? 18933 If they are really headed for Red Creek?"
18933If you do know,she said finally and somewhat faintly, but as frigidly as ever,"will you tell me or wo n''t you?"
18933If you''re askin''favors, seems to me you''re on the wrong side the street, ai n''t you, stranger?
18933Is n''t your eternal drinking bad enough without your asking such as that to drink with you?
18933Is some female woman tryin''to get her hooks in my gran''son already? 18933 Is that Terry?"
18933Is that it?
18933Is the man crazy?
18933It''s Wednesday, your----"An''what''s the day of the month?
18933It''s just a wagon, ai n''t it?
18933Joe Woods, I believe?
18933Just what is Blenham''s generous offer, Dad?
18933Just what,demanded Steve equably,"do you suppose a play like that would win for anybody?
18933Know Blenham, do n''t you?
18933Know Joe Woods? 18933 Know him, do n''t you?"
18933Lady? 18933 Lady?"
18933Leave me alone, will you, pa?
18933Let''s see-- thirty- five now, ai n''t you?
18933Little devil, am I?
18933Look here, Terry Temple, what''s the use----"Are you going? 18933 Looking for more trouble yet, Blenham?"
18933Made it in fifty- three minutes, did you? 18933 Mean it?"
18933Mean that?
18933Mean you''re goin''to give me an even break?
18933Meanin'',said Barbee steadily,"did he squeal on his pals?"
18933Meanin''the Fairy Queen, your majesty?
18933Meaning I am a Packard?
18933Meaning what? 18933 Men around here do n''t have much use for paper money, do they?"
18933More''n which,continued the cook,"you''re the guy as licked Woodsy las''night in Red Crick?"
18933Mr. Doan,said Steve bluntly,"what in hell''s name do you mean by treating me this way?"
18933Next: Who nailed the board over the door? 18933 Nobody aroun'', is there, Steve?"
18933Not a single little word, eh?
18933Not exactly friends?
18933Not heavy, though? 18933 Number three is this here: Blenham tells, me you''ve put Royce in as foreman under you?"
18933Offered merely as information?
18933Oh, do I know what''s the matter? 18933 Old man Packard''s crowd?"
18933One- dollar bills?
18933Or as a dare? 18933 Or just meeting some one?"
18933Or not?
18933Or, are you going to kiss me?
18933Phil Packard''s son, the old man''s grandson?
18933Risked your life for me, did you?
18933Say to hell with me, does he? 18933 See what I''m drivin''at?
18933Seen him lately?
18933Seen your grandfather yet?
18933Shall I?
18933She said them things?
18933Since when did I ever have call for law an''lawyers in my play? 18933 Six foot or better?"
18933Sleepin'', Guy Little? 18933 So soon?"
18933So you are dad''s kind, are you? 18933 So you know Bill Royce?"
18933So you''re Temple''s girl, are you?
18933So you''ve turned cattle- thief, have you, Barbee?
18933So?
18933Speak to me?
18933Speak to me?
18933Speed law?
18933Standing?
18933Stephen?
18933Stranger in Red Creek?
18933Sunrise already?
18933Sure I wo n''t do?
18933Surely,he said wonderingly,"you do n''t want me to give you the ranch just because you happen to hold the mortgages on it?"
18933Talkin''to me?
18933Temple land? 18933 Ten of''em?"
18933Terry Temple, ai n''t it?
18933Terry Temple?
18933Terry? 18933 That I was spying on you?
18933That it, Steve?
18933That would mean old Hell- Fire''s grandson?
18933That you, Barbee?
18933That you, Barbee?
18933That you, Packard?
18933That you, Terry Temple?
18933The old McKittrick place? 18933 The old man has gone the limit, has he?
18933The ten one- dollar bills that you left behind you?
18933Then he is still foreman?
18933Then why do n''t you do it?
18933Then you''re Miss Temple?
18933Then,he suggested,"why go to Red Creek at all?
18933Then,said Royce at the end of it, his mind catching eagerly one outstanding fact,"I was right, Steve?
18933There was another Packard, was n''t there?
18933There''s nothing little about your way of doing things, is there? 18933 Think I did that on purpose?"
18933Think he''s bought me up, maybe?
18933Think that''s funny?
18933Thinking of runnin''the outfit yourself, Stephen?
18933Thirteen, if I counted right, eh, Woods? 18933 Thirty- eight calibre?"
18933This is the old Slade place, is n''t it?
18933Up yet?
18933Want to split my head off? 18933 We are to be good friends after all?"
18933We''ve got them behind us, have n''t we?
18933Well,thought Terry,"when you are between the devil and the deep sea what are you going to do?"
18933Well?
18933Well?
18933Well?
18933Well?
18933Well?
18933Well?
18933Well?
18933What are you doing on my land, Blenham?
18933What are you goin''to do with him?
18933What are you goin''to do with me?
18933What are you going to do, Barbee?
18933What did he say?
18933What difference does it make if he knows Latin and I do n''t? 18933 What do I care whether her old thief of a father dies to- night or next week?
18933What do I want with the law now? 18933 What do you know about how much is in this roll?"
18933What do you mean?
18933What do you want?
18933What does he say?
18933What for a man is he growed up to be, anyhow?
18933What happened to him?
18933What is Blenham doing here?
18933What is it?
18933What kind this time, Bill?
18933What more? 18933 What right has the only doctor in the country to play chess, anyway?
18933What say?
18933What sort of a man have they made of you, boy?
18933What the devil are them things?
18933What''s eatin''you, Packard? 18933 What''s that?"
18933What''s that?
18933What''s the chance of something to eat and a place to sleep in the barn?
18933What''s the game?
18933What''s the matter with havin''that word to- night?
18933What''s the matter with you anyway? 18933 What''s the word?"
18933What''s this game of yours?
18933What?
18933Whatcha yellin''in my ear for?
18933Where did they go?
18933Where is he?
18933Where is he?
18933Where is it, Bill?
18933Where is she?
18933Where''s Woods?
18933Where''s my father?
18933Where''s your horse?
18933Where? 18933 Who are the Temples, Bill?"
18933Who can lend me a saddle- horse for the night? 18933 Who do you happen to be?"
18933Who is he, Barbee? 18933 Who is we?"
18933Who tol''you about the Temples?
18933Who told you?
18933Who was it asked you for the paper money?
18933Who''ll I say lef this? 18933 Who''s that?"
18933Who?
18933Why did you want to yell like a Comanche Indian when you went in?
18933Why not? 18933 Why so?"
18933Why would you guess that?
18933Will you explain what''s gone wrong?
18933Wo n''t I? 18933 Wonder what he''ll have to say when Hodges hands him his roll?"
18933Yes, come here a minute, will you?
18933Yes?
18933You ain''t-- you ai n''t Stevie come back?
18933You and Blenham? 18933 You are saying,"and her eyes shone straight up into the old man''s,"that I am setting a trap for your grandson?
18933You ask: What''s the game? 18933 You butt in again, do you?"
18933You called, m''lord?
18933You can drive the girl''s car, ca n''t you?
18933You did?
18933You do n''t know what a speed law is, do you?
18933You done that? 18933 You group them altogether?
18933You heard everything, Barbee? 18933 You know them nine big steers as strayed from here some time ago?
18933You mean that seventy- five dollars is all you''ve got to show for twelve years?
18933You rang, your majesty?
18933You said-- just what?
18933You think,he offered stiffly,"that I''m hand and glove with Blenham?
18933You''d ought to have seen him first, had n''t you? 18933 You''re Steve Packard, ai n''t you?
18933You''re the guy I fed the other mornin'', ai n''t you?
18933You''ve left it in the same place? 18933 You?
18933You?
18933You?
18933You?
18933Your land?
18933A body blow, perhaps, but then what in God''s good world is a strong body for if not to buffet and be buffeted?
18933Ai n''t I always promised myself sometime I''d get him in my two hands, I''d feel him wriggle an''squirm?
18933Ai n''t I done it in my sleep a dozen times, a dozen ways?
18933Ai n''t made your pile, have you, Steve?"
18933All on purpose?"
18933All ready, Bill?"
18933An''I can prove it for my part by a couple of little questions-- if you boys will take my word for it?"
18933An''blamed it to me?"
18933An''her grapefruit stacked high with sugar?
18933An''it was Blenham as gave me both barrels of Johnny Mills''s shot- gun?
18933An''that you''ve had stock poisoned an''shot?
18933An''the coffee with hot milk?
18933An''the door shut?"
18933An''to be ol''Hell- Fire''s gran''son?"
18933An''to own it?
18933An''with that seventy- five dollars you''re startin''out to run a big cow outfit like this, are you?"
18933And as the long, hot days dragged by and the verdure died on hill and plain and dusty mountainside, he asked himself"When will she come back to us?"
18933And later he came to say of his mechanician,"Him?
18933And that I''m running it myself?
18933And that big rock there?
18933And we''re going to-- Oh, come on, ca n''t you?"
18933And when?"
18933And where is he?
18933And why?
18933And why?
18933And with old Hell- Fire Packard at that?
18933And yet-- You saw them, you knew, and you did n''t say a word to me, to anybody?"
18933And you say I''d do as much for you?
18933And, Bill, did you ever know the time when twenty thousand dollars would look more like twenty thousand full moons just showing up over the skyline?"
18933And, perhaps, that I''m taking orders from my grandfather, trying to put one over on you?"
18933Another blow, fresh pounding and scraping of boots-- blow on top of blow, curse on top of curse-- a man falling heavily---- Who was down?
18933Anything else you boys would like to know?"
18933Anything left?"
18933Are you sure of it, Bill?"
18933Blenham, or rather an agent of Blenham, had killed his horse; what then?
18933Blenham?"
18933Buck me, would you?
18933But ai n''t I lived long enough to squeeze in a blunder or so here an''there?
18933But he''s a Packard-- an''--an''----""An''what, m''lord?"
18933But in a larger sense was it an accident?
18933By the way, where do you carry your gun?"
18933CHAPTER XVIII"IF HE KNOWS-- DOES SHE?"
18933Ca n''t you see their play?"
18933Come here empty- handed an''try to buck me, would you?
18933Did Barbee know?
18933Did he mention any names?"
18933Did he say anything that would implicate anybody?"
18933Did n''t I always know you''d be like this?
18933Did n''t I see your horse this afternoon?
18933Did n''t I spoil my son Phil that- a- way?
18933Did n''t I, Stevie?"
18933Did n''t Phil start out spoilin''his son Stephen that same way?
18933Did they get away?
18933Disbelief reshaped her eyes; she cried out at him as her foot went down on the accelerator:"Think I''m the kind to believe all the yarns you can tell?
18933Do n''t I know it?
18933Do n''t I know nothin''a- tall, Packard?"
18933Do n''t I know you?
18933Do n''t happen to know anything about motor- cars, do you?"
18933Do n''t like Blenham, huh?
18933Do n''t want to pay it off this mornin'', do you?"
18933Do n''t you know-- don''t you know what''s going with those steers up there?"
18933Do n''t you see that is what it amounts to, that is what we''ve got to answer?"
18933Do n''t you see?"
18933Do you know what''s the matter?"
18933Eh, kid?
18933Ever goin''to get up?"
18933Ever hear of him?"
18933Everywhere I go, have you got to keep showing up?"
18933Fifty- three minutes from Red Crick to here?
18933Fifty- three, you said, did n''t you?
18933Foreman, is n''t he?"
18933Funny?"
18933Get me that time?"
18933Get me?
18933Get me?"
18933Give you the chance you''d do as much for me; eh, boy?
18933Goin''to get up?
18933Goin''to run the ranch yourself, huh?
18933Goin''to stay under that car all day?"
18933Gone to sleep?"
18933Happy- lookin'', ai n''t they?
18933Have you signed up with Blenham already?"
18933He hesitated, then said quickly:"Has n''t left yet, has he?
18933He wondered for the first time where that way led?
18933He----""Blenham?"
18933Hear me comin'', boys?
18933Hear me comin'', boys?
18933Hear me?
18933Hear me?"
18933Her voice floated up to him then, demanding:"What in the world are you up to now?
18933Hey?
18933Hey?"
18933His look said plainly:"What are you going to say about it?
18933Holds my stock for pasture money, does he?
18933How are you goin''to pay your men, how are you goin''to buy grub for''em, where are you goin''to find runnin''-expense money?
18933How did I know, your father gettin''delirious at the finish which came downright quick, but he''d give the game away?
18933How do you like it, Blenham?
18933How get away with it?"
18933How many minutes?
18933How''d you like to have it this way all the time?"
18933I could have done it in less, too, only with a flat tire and----""Hey?"
18933I have just framed a deal whereby I put up the money to pay you your mortgage and----""You?
18933I never did you any harm, did I?
18933I tol''you about''em two or three weeks ago?
18933I want it right, hear me?
18933I''m no trouble- seeker; I know it''s a dead easy thing to start a row that will see more than one man dead before it''s ended, and what''s the use?
18933I----""Will I?"
18933If I do n''t, ask him if he lost a wad like this?"
18933If there''s some real sour blood stirred up between him an''you there''s no use bein''a plumb fool, is there?
18933In my house?
18933In the rock foundation- wall?"
18933Is it just jail for the man who shot down my old pardner in cold blood, just for the sake of a handful of money?
18933Is it to be just jail for the man who has made Bill Royce''s life a hell for six months?
18933Is the doctor here?"
18933It was Blenham for sure, was n''t it, Steve?"
18933It''s him I can hear breathin'', Steve?"
18933It''s luck- money; did n''t you know?
18933It''s the skirt, huh?
18933Just jail for the brute who had a horse shot under me to- night?
18933Just the same-- maybe some day----""And yet you stayed on, Bill?"
18933Just why?
18933Kind of lean an''long, like Phil Packard before you?"
18933Know Blenham?
18933Know anything about it, any of you boys?"
18933Know just how much you''re mortgaged for?"
18933Know old man Packard?
18933Let me see: you''ve got about fifty steers, have n''t you?"
18933Let''s see; where had I got?
18933Like a circle, all in a ring, sort of; get me?"
18933Mean to insinuate I''m a crook?"
18933Meaning him?"
18933Might n''t it?
18933My proposition is-- But can you raise eight thousand?"
18933Need he send you here to do business with me?
18933Next: Maybe you''ve heard I''m the owner of Ranch Number Ten?
18933No objection, I suppose?"
18933Not going to swipe my clothes, are you?"
18933Now how the devil do you suppose he knew?"
18933Now is this side of Red Creek open to me or is it shut?
18933Oh, my God, Steve Packard, what does it mean?"
18933Once he said,"Sir?"
18933Or an invitation?"
18933Or do you intend just to squat there like a toad and spoil the view for me?"
18933Or rather a mere retributive punishment decreed by an eternal justice?
18933Packard had cursed and threatened and brow- beaten him down to----"You called, m''lord?"
18933Packard made his cigarette, lighted it, and then said casually:"How are you fixed for dollar bills in your strong- box?"
18933Past due interest----""Lawyer?"
18933Perhaps she was having her breakfast by now?
18933Presently--"Know who did it, Bill?"
18933Pretty smooth, huh?"
18933Problem One: Just what was Terry going to say?
18933Problem Two: How was he going to pull his stock through?
18933Ranch Number Ten ought to belong to the fool boy now, ought n''t it?
18933Ready there, Bridges, you ol''fool?
18933Ready, Blenham?"
18933Remember the ol''cabin by the big timber over on the east side?"
18933Right under your nose-- and you not know?
18933Royce of Blenham?
18933See that old pine stump over yonder?
18933Settin''her traps for my boy Stephen, is she?
18933Setting one of his hired assassins to shooting from a blind?"
18933Since we are neighbors, why not be good friends?
18933Since when was a tree considered as land, Miss Teresa Arriega Temple?"
18933So she knew, too?
18933Stephen, my gran''son said that?"
18933Stepping over Woods''s body he said threateningly:"Killed him, have you?
18933Steve Packard an''Terry Temple pardners----""Do n''t you see?"
18933Steve reined in after her, urging his horse to a gallop for the first time, calling out sharply:"But you-- where are you going?
18933Steve saw how the boy''s shoulders slumped and again asked himself if Barbee were acting or if Blenham were simply too sharp for him?
18933Stuck on her yourself, are you?"
18933Tell him what to say, why do n''t you?"
18933Tell me: If your father did not shift those brands, then who did?
18933That I waited until you started to climb up here and that then I popped my head up just at the same time?
18933That I, Teresa Arriega Temple, would for an instant consider a Packard, the son and the grandson of a Packard, as worthy of shining my boots for me?
18933That Temple girl?
18933That it?"
18933That night Blenham had sneered,"Stuck on her yourself, are you?"
18933That right?"
18933That the idea?"
18933That would n''t quite turn the trick, would it?"
18933That yellow canary- bird?
18933That''s his generous offer, is it?"
18933That''s quite a little wad, Barbee; it''s more, anyhow, than an extra month''s wages, ai n''t it?
18933The men up here?"
18933The ol''cedar board?"
18933The thought was in each mind:"Is this a Packard I am dealing with?
18933Then you did n''t want me?"
18933There''s one open here for you; first to teach me all you know about the insides of my car; second-- What''s the matter?
18933They''re all the same then?"
18933Think I want it all run down in the heel when it comes to me?
18933Think I''m a crook, sir?
18933Think I''m the kind of a she- man as stands for you guys buttin''in on my fight?
18933Think you''re funny, do n''t you?"
18933Think you''re smart, climbing aboard like a monkey?
18933This is my fight, Steve, an''--Blenham, where are you?"
18933Tied in front of Wimble''s whiskey joint?
18933Understan''?"
18933Understand that?"
18933Understand?
18933Understand?
18933Understand?"
18933Understand?"
18933Unless your grandfather''ll do the right thing by you an''call all ol''bets off an''give you a free hand an''a fresh start?"
18933Used to be a rather gay little place, did n''t it?"
18933Want him?"
18933Want to know what I want a horse for?
18933Was a man to be ashamed that he had not amassed wealth, especially when there had never been in him the sustained desire for gold?
18933Was fate not playing him for her favorite?
18933Was it Terry herself?
18933Was she going to remain in town overnight?
18933Well, I ca n''t stop you, can I?
18933Well, where is he now?
18933What about him?"
18933What am I going to do?
18933What are you goin''to do to him?"
18933What are you up to?
18933What do you know about running a big outfit?
18933What do you mean?"
18933What do you think, huh, Steve?"
18933What does a kid without whiskers like Barbee know about it?
18933What else about him?"
18933What else about him?"
18933What else?"
18933What else?"
18933What for a man are you?"
18933What for a man is he?"
18933What have I ever done to you-- besides save you from drowning?
18933What have you got to say about that?"
18933What if the ranch were mortgaged and to the hardest man in seven counties?
18933What if we''re not friends exactly?
18933What is the matter?"
18933What kind of a man have you growned to be with the women, Steve?"
18933What name, stranger?"
18933What though his grandfather had obviously fallen supine before the old man''s tempting sin, which is avarice, and was bound to break him?
18933What was he up to?
18933What would Blenham do, what would he say when Hodges gave him Packard''s message?
18933What would be Blenham''s next move?
18933What''s Packard payin''you for this night''s work?"
18933What''s the answer, Whitey Wimble?"
18933What''s the answer; where did I pick this up?"
18933What''s the day of the week, Guy Little?"
18933What''s the word, Barbee?"
18933What''s up?"
18933When did my grandfather ever show any inclination to help out?"
18933When did you ever get anywhere by taking your hat off and side- stepping for a Packard?
18933Where had she gone?
18933Where is he now?"
18933Where''ve you been the last couple of hundred years?
18933Which is it?
18933Which was playing as safe as a man could, was n''t it, Steve?"
18933Which way would Barbee go?
18933Which way''re you goin''?"
18933Who are you?"
18933Who can tell the time when----""Why did n''t we meet them?"
18933Who says so, I want to know?"
18933Who was on top?
18933Who''s going to let me have one?
18933Whose?
18933Why not turn back here and stop them?
18933Why should a man be startled by a new sunrise?
18933Why should a man shoot the horse under Steve Packard?
18933Why?
18933Will you do it?
18933Will you stop, please?"
18933Will you tear up those papers?"
18933With the world?
18933Wonder what would happen if you and he met on a narrow road?"
18933Yes, as types the Packards were all right; how many times had she admitted that to herself?
18933You do n''t have to have my consent to make a laughing- stock out of yourself?
18933You do n''t mean you''re actually havin''any kind of business dealin''s, frien''ly dealin''s, with the Temples?"
18933You done Brocky a favor when you was a kid, did n''t you?
18933You heard what I said outside, did n''t you?"
18933You know what has happened?"
18933You mean to tell me that you are chipping in with him?"
18933You say you arranged matters with dad?
18933You see, as things are, we are bound to lose the whole place, lock, stock, and barrel, to Packard; you do n''t want to do that, do you?"
18933You understan''----""What''s it got to do with me?"
18933You was asleep an''sleepin''soun'', so----""He did, did he?"
18933You was n''t countin''on anything like that, was you?"
18933You''ve done the trick twice; do I have to look out for you every time I take the car out?"
18933_ Sabe_?
18933_ You_, Stephen Packard?"
18933demanded Barbee lightly,"Or roast me first?"
18933if you start out by blaming me for what my disreputable old scamp of a grandfather does?"
18950Afraid of what?
18950Ai n''t forgot who''s who, have you, Lady?
18950All ready, Shandon?
18950All right, Charlie?
18950Already?
18950Am I?
18950And Helga?
18950And does it wake at sunup?
18950And if we ca n''t make a place for you?
18950And quite naturally you are interested? 18950 And some one had killed him?"
18950And the mortgage was foreclosed three months ago?
18950And they left an hour ago?
18950And when it comes, coming from Hume, you realise that he''ll offer a very small fraction of what it is worth to him?
18950And you did all of this yourself? 18950 And you do n''t know old Mart?"
18950And you will sell to Shandon too?
18950And you''re watching Helga Strawn too?
18950And you, Wayne? 18950 And you, you have never been afraid?
18950And, Wayne, dear--"Yes?
18950And,his old weapon, a sneer, coming back,"you are not interested in Shandon?"
18950Are n''t there many reasons? 18950 Are n''t you afraid of anything in the world, Wanda?"
18950Are n''t you glad to see me?
18950Are they as cruel about it as he is? 18950 Are you a fool like the rest, Sledge Hume?"
18950Are you crazy?
18950Are you pagan nymph or Christian maiden, Wanda?
18950Are you sorry? 18950 Arthur mortgaged it the day he was killed?
18950Arthur, dead? 18950 Arthur, dead?"
18950At least you remember my name?
18950Awake at last?
18950Because I am not a man am I a coward? 18950 Because,"he had laughed at her surprise,"winter will come one of these days, and do you think that I''m not going to see you until it''s gone again?
18950Blackmail?
18950Breakfast?
18950But how will we know?
18950But shall we go over and see?
18950But why to him more than to Arthur?
18950But why, mamma? 18950 But, surely,"smiled Kinsell,"you do n''t object to having Hume pay for a part of the work you''ll have to do soon or late, do you?
18950But,muttered Shandon,"if they once tear the side of that mountain out--""The milk will be spilt so badly that it can not be put back into the pan?
18950Ca n''t I come with you and take a peep first hand into the homes of your wild friends? 18950 Ca n''t she?
18950Ca n''t you do it, Little Saxon?
18950Ca n''t you guess?
18950Ca n''t you see the play? 18950 Come right down to it, Wanda, the cave has served its purpose, has n''t it?
18950Dead? 18950 Dead?"
18950Did I ever turn a pal down?
18950Did I?
18950Did you conjure this out of a broken eggshell with a wand? 18950 Did you see him kill Arthur?"
18950Do I have to remind you again that this is my discovery, my invention?
18950Do n''t you ever think of anything but work? 18950 Do n''t you know me well enough to realise that I do n''t ask people to set my standards for me?
18950Do n''t you know me?
18950Do you care to sit down while we thresh things out?
18950Do you hear me?
18950Do you remember when you gave me the revolver that morning? 18950 Do you remember,"he went on quietly, still gently serious,"the day when I whipped little Willie Thorp for you?"
18950Do you think that Helga Strawn is very beautiful?
18950Do you wish me to regard you as what people call an honest man, Mr. Hume? 18950 Do you wonder I do n''t?"
18950Do you?
18950Does he think I''m going to have him sticking around the place all winter?
18950Does my father know this?
18950Does n''t it seem as though life were just beginning all over this morning?
18950Does n''t she often go with you?
18950Does she? 18950 Feeling sore this morning?"
18950First you are going to be very sure? 18950 For her sake, ca n''t you do it?"
18950For want of a chaperon, I suppose? 18950 Game?"
18950Garth him all same go bye- bye now, maybeso?
18950Gentlemen,said Leland gravely,"may I remind you that this is hardly a time for personal recriminations?
18950Get them busy then, will you, Garth? 18950 Glad to see you?"
18950Good heavens, is he crazy? 18950 Good kid, ai n''t he?"
18950Goodness,she exclaimed, persisting in the part she had vowed many times a day she would play for him,"have n''t you forgotten that?
18950Got next to who the mysterious fairy is?
18950Have I?
18950Have they made you an offer for the water right?
18950Have you asked her?
18950Have you gone over to his side of the deal? 18950 Have you never had a suspicion of the reason that makes papa hate you so?"
18950Have you no idea, Wayne?
18950Have you seen much of that man, Wanda?
18950Have you wised up?
18950Hazel?
18950He thinks that I killed Arthur?
18950He''s getting a woman mixed up in his affairs, is he? 18950 Helga Strawn?
18950Helga?
18950Helga?
18950Horses? 18950 How did you happen to find him?"
18950How do I know Hazel''s name is Helga?
18950How do you know all this?
18950How much did Hume pay you?
18950How?
18950Hume?
18950I called you a witch, did n''t I, Wanda?
18950I do n''t see just where you come in?
18950I do n''t see why you''d lie about a thing like this-- How do you know anything about it?
18950I mean just this: Did you know that the Bar L- M was mortgaged to Martin Leland for twenty- five thousand dollars?
18950I wonder,she whispered,"if he did love me, after all?"
18950I wonder,thought the girl with a little thrill at what her fancy pictured for her,"if any of the rest of the family are at home?"
18950If I asked you now, that same question, what would you say?
18950If Wayne were coming to me would he hesitate?
18950If a man came in, frozen stiff, would you offer him a cup of tea?
18950If you had really wanted to know could n''t you have ridden over sooner?
18950If you will talk reasonably--"Talk reasonably? 18950 If your father does a thing which your untrained, woman''s brain can not rightly understand are you the one to judge and condemn him?
18950Is fate relenting? 18950 Is it really something, Shep?"
18950Is it so bad as that, Wayne?
18950Is n''t it high time for it? 18950 Is the girl mad?"
18950It all depends upon Helga Strawn, then? 18950 It seems rather like the finger of God, does n''t it?
18950It was Hume?
18950Jealous as a cat, huh, Red? 18950 Just because two men quarrel it does n''t mean that one kills the other, does it?"
18950Little Saxon is proving up, eh?
18950Little Saxon?
18950Love''s little messenger again?
18950May I come in?
18950Me?
18950Miss Leland? 18950 Murder?"
18950My dear Wayne, how should I know?
18950Ninety- six?
18950No? 18950 Oh, how can I tell him?"
18950On the level, that thing ai n''t deadly, is it? 18950 Only Wanda said--""You will excuse me a moment?"
18950Or were you over ready to believe because you hated him, and because the tool you would lay your hand to would not only punish him but enrich you? 18950 Really, Miss Strawn---""Why ca n''t you talk to me as if I were a man?"
18950Red''s?
18950Ride?
18950Say, wait a minute, wo n''t you?
18950Say,he began pleasantly,"it''s fierce outside, ai n''t it?
18950Say,was his next word of greeting,"ai n''t this the doggondest, peskiest wild man''s land you ever shot a glimmer of your eye at?
18950Selfish?
18950She''s one great little kid, Wanda is, ai n''t she?
18950She''s out here for blackmail, is n''t she? 18950 So much that you could cleave to me through everything?
18950So there really is a Helga, is there?
18950So you are a friend of Red Shandon''s, are you?
18950So you do n''t know what Conway is going to do?
18950So you let him get clean away?
18950So you think that Shandon will jump at the chance to go into any sort of partnership with you?
18950So you were on your way to warn him, were you?
18950So,he sneered,"you are trying a little blackmail, are you?
18950Sold?
18950Some business, ai n''t it, pal? 18950 Suppose,"she went on,"that you stood very still on your porch, both hands holding your spyglass?
18950That''s the way you serve a warrant, is it? 18950 The difference is that you are the more honest?"
18950The fact that I have no interest whatever in Mr. Shandon certainly should not lessen my gratitude to you, should it?
18950The losing game?
18950The red headed fool has discovered something, has he?
18950The_ what_?
18950Them tennis racket things? 18950 Then can I go home with you, Miss?
18950Then there is urgent need now?
18950This is the Leland place, is n''t it?
18950To- day?
18950Until I run to the house and get something?
18950Was it?
18950Wayne Shandon?
18950Wayne,she asked quietly,"is this all you have to tell me?"
18950Wayne,she said again, a little sadly,"I was going to tell you the other day, but you were in such a hurry-- You are not going to the cave?"
18950We can do it for Wanda, ca n''t we? 18950 We got chummy as twins riding over, did n''t we?
18950We''d better be hitting the trail, Wayne, had n''t we?
18950Well?
18950Well?
18950Well?
18950Well?
18950Well?
18950What Helga?
18950What are you going to do about it then?
18950What are you talking about?
18950What are you talking about?
18950What did you tell Miss Leland?
18950What do you know about a mortgage on the Bar L- M?
18950What do you know about her?
18950What do you mean?
18950What do you mean?
18950What do you mean?
18950What do you mean?
18950What do you mean?
18950What do you mean?
18950What fool''s nonsense are you talking, Dart?
18950What has happened? 18950 What have you done about it?"
18950What have you found that is so dreadful?
18950What have you learned?
18950What if I have?
18950What in the devil are you talking about?
18950What is it, Shep?
18950What is it, Wanda?
18950What is it, Wayne?
18950What is it, mamma?
18950What is it, mamma?
18950What is it? 18950 What is it?"
18950What is it?
18950What is it?
18950What is it?
18950What of it?
18950What other fellows?
18950What thing?
18950What''s doing?
18950What''s that?
18950What''s the bill of fare for the day?
18950What''s the difference how you done it? 18950 What''s the matter with you?"
18950What''s the matter?
18950What''s the odds?
18950What''s this?
18950What''s up?
18950What''s your game, anyhow?
18950What''s your game, you little crook? 18950 When one of my blood loses her last shred of decency, when she takes up with a low, dissolute unprincipled Shandon?
18950When you quarrelled with Hume a year ago you called him a crook, did n''t you?
18950Where am I going, Chief?
18950Where are we going?
18950Where did you come from in all this storm?
18950Where does he get the money?
18950Where in the world have you come from?
18950Where''s Big Bill''s bunk?
18950Where''s Dart?
18950Who committed the crime you charged Wayne Shandon with?
18950Who could have killed him?
18950Who is Helga?
18950Who killed Arthur Shandon and robbed him of twenty- five thousand dollars? 18950 Who killed Arthur?
18950Who killed him, mamma?
18950Who killed him?
18950Who said anything about work? 18950 Who said that you had?
18950Who sold him?
18950Who wants to change?
18950Who''s Jeanette Compton?
18950Why did n''t you follow him up?
18950Why did you do that? 18950 Why did you kill it?"
18950Why do you ask that? 18950 Why not?"
18950Why not?
18950Why should my father do a thing like that? 18950 Why?"
18950Will you open it?
18950Will you tell me about it, Wanda, dear?
18950Will you tell me this: So far as you know is there a woman in Sledge Hume''s life?
18950Will you wait here for me a moment, Wayne?
18950With certain death dragging at you if you missed?
18950Would you care very much, Wanda?
18950You are Wanda Leland, I suppose?
18950You are coming back soon?
18950You are going out after him in the morning?
18950You are going to squander a little of your precious time on me, are n''t you? 18950 You are going to try to make him fall in love with you?"
18950You are n''t Mr. Leland, are you?
18950You are?
18950You do n''t mean he had a sum like that with him in cash?
18950You do n''t think I look the part?
18950You found that near him?
18950You have already sold your interest, given the deed, have n''t you, Miss Strawn? 18950 You have come to stay?
18950You have got the deadwood on Hume?
18950You have never done anything which you have kept hidden?
18950You have told her? 18950 You love me--_like that_?"
18950You love me--_like that_?
18950You mean Leland?
18950You mean me and Old Bots and the chariot?
18950You mean that Hume and Leland are actually trying to steal my water?
18950You mean that you are not a friend of Shandon?
18950You mean the snow?
18950You mean to say you''ve been up here before? 18950 You mean what I have told you?"
18950You pride yourself on your honesty?
18950You say that Leland, Conway and Hume are already at work, planning to put water from the Bar L- M into Dry Valley?
18950You see, Wanda, what you have overlooked?
18950You still have his power of attorney, have n''t you?
18950You think that you can put the thing across?
18950You told her that?
18950You want me to believe that?
18950You were looking for me?
18950You''ll remember that the train is scheduled to stop for fifteen minutes in Reno? 18950 You''re going to buy him out?"
18950You''re going to ride, of course?
18950You''re going to work on her to- day?
18950You''re going with MacKelvey?
18950You''re swapping horses, eh?
18950You''ve come to stay, ai n''t you, Red?
18950You?
18950_ When_?
18950A little penny ante game?"
18950A little sneeringly he demanded,"What are you going to make it?
18950Ai n''t he ever told you about me, Willie Dart?"
18950Ai n''t this a ring tailed dandy?"
18950Ai n''t you on to his game?"
18950All little girls who tease?
18950Am I right?"
18950Am I the man to do a dishonourable thing?
18950An opportunity for what?
18950And I wanted to ask you what you thought of that mining proposition on the old McIntosh property?
18950And do you love me so hard it almost hurts?"
18950And if other eyes than her own saw it?
18950And is not justice with me?
18950And there came the question and the fear,"Does he love me as I love him?"
18950And until then had n''t you rather think of me waiting here than lying in jail?"
18950And what about Miss Leland?"
18950And what has he done with it?
18950And when you come in will you bring the little bag strapped behind the saddle?"
18950And will you scare up something for me to eat?
18950And with the night coming on I''d stand a great chance finding him, would n''t I?"
18950And yet--"If I should meet a bear in there,"she laughed to herself,"I wonder who''d be scared most?"
18950And you think that of all men in the world I should choose a man like_ you_ for husband?"
18950And, Wayne--""Yes?"
18950And, if you''d been shut up in it like a prison, I wonder if you''d have any sentiment for it left?
18950And,"merely as an afterthought,"what name will I say, lady?"
18950Are n''t you a little bit ashamed of yourself?
18950Are n''t you afraid that you will create havoc by putting a lot of foolish ideas into a country girl''s head?"
18950Are n''t you glad to see me?"
18950Are n''t you telling me that to put money in your own pocket you would do what people call a dishonourable act?"
18950Are you crazy or drunk?"
18950Are you in on the deal too?"
18950Are you throwing me down and tying up with him?"
18950As though the utterance were drawn from him by the shock of the surprise, jerked from him involuntarily, he cried:"Dead?
18950Because I am to profit where he loses must I hold back?
18950Because a lying Shandon has cast his cursed spell over your romantic fancies are you to leap to these ridiculous conclusions?
18950Blackmail?
18950But ca n''t you see that if this is true there is only one thing in the world for me to do?"
18950But had there not been strong human reasons for that injustice?
18950But is that the reason I am striking at him?
18950But the other?
18950But the thing which she carried in her bosom seemed to be demanding rudely:"Must you shut your eyes to believe with your heart?"
18950But what good could it do?
18950But when he returned he could not refrain from asking,"What are you going to do with it, Wayne?"
18950But who knows that?
18950But, say, is that the nearest place?"
18950But,"teasingly, a little cruelly,"are n''t you the least bit afraid?"
18950By that time, when Leland came to him--"What''s all this?"
18950By the way, talking of Hume, seen him lately?"
18950CHAPTER III SUSPICION Why had her mother come to her in such a way?
18950CHAPTER VII THE GLADNESS THAT SINGS"Well?"
18950CHAPTER XVII"WHERE''S THAT TWENTY- FIVE THOUSAND?
18950CHAPTER XXVI THE LAUGHTER OF HELGA STRAWN"Will you tell your mistress,"Sledge Hume commanded,"that I want to speak with her immediately?
18950Ca n''t I walk?"
18950Can I have a drink and something to eat?
18950Can you get word to Big Bill to keep a close watch on Little Saxon?
18950Can you use it?"
18950Can you?"
18950Conway''s strong for pulling out, eh?"
18950Did he think other--?
18950Did he?"
18950Did n''t Red ever tell you about Helga?"
18950Did they smell a rat?"
18950Did they want Wayne Shandon to think that they had neglected his interests in his absence?
18950Do n''t you know a man, when you see him, big enough to set his own standards?"
18950Do you begin to see why I''m here?"
18950Do you follow me, Wanda?"
18950Do you know what that means?
18950Do you know who killed him?"
18950Do you know, Miss Wanda Leland-- are you a little witch and do you do it on purpose?--that those two eyes of yours can make madness in a man''s soul?"
18950Do you know, Wayne, that you are accusing him of a very ugly thing?"
18950Do you know?"
18950Do you like it?"
18950Do you love me very much, Wanda?"
18950Do you think I''ll stand for the double cross like that?"
18950Do you think that I am fool enough to believe that you are not interested in the same thing I am?"
18950Do you understand?
18950Do you want him to think that this is the way we''ve been attending to his business for him while he was gone?
18950Do you want to see him?"
18950Does Garth believe it?
18950Does Hume?
18950Does half the countryside believe me a murderer?
18950Does your mother?"
18950Eh?"
18950Even when the unpleasantness which already exists between your father and me grows into positive, hard, open opposition?
18950Funny, ai n''t it?"
18950Gee, ai n''t it fierce, lady?"
18950Gee, he''s just like an oyster, that kid, ai n''t he?
18950Gee, wo n''t she be tickled to see you, you coming unexpected like this?"
18950Get that?"
18950Good God, I wonder if I am dying?
18950Good God, man, what have I done?"
18950Good old scout after all, ai n''t he?
18950Got it now?
18950Great chap, Brisbane, is n''t he?
18950Had he always loved her?
18950Had he done this wild thing for nothing then?
18950Had not his own wild living been cause enough?
18950Had she always loved him?
18950Has Mamma Leland got a Bible?"
18950Have I explained?"
18950Have I the right to draw back now?"
18950Hazel will excuse us, wo n''t you?"
18950He had been over here?"
18950He handed the black bag to its owner and asked casually,"You''re strong for hitting the pike right away?"
18950He poked into his mouth the last quarter of the sandwich in his left hand, secured a bit of cheese with his right, and answered:"Long?
18950He repeated the name after her in surprise:"Helga Strawn?"
18950He watched her a moment, then called,"Are you riding back to the house?
18950Her colt out of Saxon?
18950Him boss now?
18950How about it?"
18950How about it?"
18950How am I ever going to get anything said if you keep butting in like that, Red?
18950How did it come here, who could have known that Hume would see it here?
18950How does that strike you?
18950How far is it, measured in something civilised, like blocks?"
18950How in the world did you happen to find it?"
18950How is the range making out?"
18950How much would Shandon say his ranch was worth?
18950How should a man care for the little things which mean so much to a girl?
18950How''s everything?
18950How?
18950How?
18950Hume?"
18950Hume?"
18950Hume?"
18950Hume?"
18950Hume?"
18950I feel like a gallop, do n''t you?"
18950I have n''t so much as told my wife--""You?"
18950I have really been so busy--""You knew where to find me all the time?"
18950I hear the race is to be pulled off the first thing in the spring, as soon as the snow''s gone?
18950I wonder if a cashier, after two years''time, would remember the features of a stranger so that he could say whether it was you or Hume?
18950I''m going to tell you, ai n''t I?
18950I''ve been here a week, ai n''t I?
18950I''ve talked with his lawyer, I''ve talked with Kinsell--""What''s Kinsell got to do with it?"
18950If Helga Strawn came into court and told all that she knows do you realise what a jury would say about it?"
18950If Shandon goes clear where are you and I coming out?"
18950If they ever did put on a race-- Endymion, Little Saxon''s full brother?
18950If you are trying to get something out of me you are going the wrong way about it, are n''t you?
18950If, at this late hour, he went to the sheriff and told the truth, what would be the result?
18950Immediately, do you hear?"
18950Is a man like him deserving of any other treatment?"
18950Is a woman like that a fit thing to be a strong man''s wife?"
18950Is it likely then, that any man who believes this is, after this length of time, even going to think to mention the matter to Shandon?"
18950Is it right then that he should go unpunished?
18950Is it you?"
18950Is n''t it perfectly glorious the way the sun strikes the snow?"
18950Is n''t it splendid?"
18950Is n''t that enough?"
18950Is that all?"
18950Is that satisfactory?"
18950Is this how you got your name, Wanda?"
18950It''s adjacent to yours, is n''t it?
18950Just the other side of Laughter Lake?"
18950Keep behind the cedar, wo n''t you, so that if any one should be about you wo n''t be seen?"
18950Leland?"
18950Let her understand what conditions are, and what''s a clever woman''s clever play?
18950Little?
18950Mr. Willie Dart blew a playful puff of smoke at him and picked up the tale:"I said,''Look here, Wanda--''""Wanda who?"
18950Murdered?
18950Must he come back and chuck the whole thing to the dogs?"
18950Napa Valley, Santa Clara Valley, Sacramento Valley?
18950Never mentioned, did he, how we got into a snow drift one time and had to eat our dogs and I got him out final?"
18950Now do you see where Helga Strawn comes in?"
18950Now, if there were water, plenty of water, in Dry Valley; if a man could flood his land from brimming ditches then what would happen?
18950Now, if you will excuse me a minute?"
18950Now, when a woman''s stuck on a guy, what''s the way to make her go clean nuts over him?
18950Oh, how can you stand there and denounce him after you have set your hand against him as you have?
18950Old Leland was the keenest business man in the county, was he?
18950On my part as well as his?"
18950Or are you still playing the losing game?"
18950Or the day before?"
18950Perhaps you guess right away what has brought me West, to you first of all?"
18950Presently, steadying her voice, she said:"You are absolutely sure of this, Wayne?"
18950Really, after you''d had time to think about it did n''t you have to laugh?
18950Red Head for sure, ai n''t he?"
18950Remember, Wanda?"
18950Riding on?
18950Say, he''s some kid, ai n''t he, Wanda?"
18950Say,"with a groan as he shifted a little in the saddle which he blamed for his woes,"you do n''t live so awful far from here, do you?"
18950See that?"
18950Shall I fail him the first time in our lives that he has need of me?
18950Shandon''s eyes, suddenly bright, an eager note in his voice, he shot out his hand warmly, and cried,"You have found something?"
18950Shandon''s note, which she read more than once, ran:--"Dear Wanda-- Will you try to meet me at your cliff to- morrow?
18950Shandon?"
18950Shandon?"
18950She has n''t been expecting you, has she?"
18950She is Roosian, ai n''t she?"
18950She saw the broken imprints of the Canadian snowshoes, the smooth tracks of the skis, and demanded sharply:"Which men wore the webs?"
18950She''s got Macbeth''s frau of the fairy tale faded to a finish, ai n''t she?"
18950So everything you got out of the sales last year you slapped back into the business, buying more cattle?"
18950Split myself in two for ten miles on a pair of devil''s toboggans?
18950Suppose I was n''t, suppose I was still dodging cops on Broadway, then what?
18950Suppose you come along with me?
18950Suppose you leaned lazily against the door post?
18950Sure that papa has done this?"
18950That looked all right, did n''t it?
18950That you''ve gone out across that sort of a bridge?"
18950The depositor gave his name as-- what do you guess?"
18950The name''s awful funny, ai n''t it?
18950The''Roosian''princess, for instance?"
18950Then Sledgehammer Hume would put some death- on- rats in Hell Fire''s hay, or pick Red off with a shot gun, and who cops onto the five thou?
18950Then what?"
18950Then when a fine day comes and you want a long ski ride, you''ll know where to come, wo n''t you, Wanda?
18950There is a deadlock until you can get her to talk?"
18950There was an old spy glass at the Bar L- M, was n''t there?
18950They''d grow up some day and I wonder if they''d take mercy then on a pretty little baby calf if they came upon it playing?
18950This was the sort of thing that Sledge Hume would do; should Wayne Shandon do it?
18950To Martin Leland?
18950Twelve thousand five hundred dollars?
18950Twenty- five dollars an acre?
18950Understand?"
18950WHAT''S THE ANSWER?"
18950Was death then so great a thing?
18950Was he not seeking to blind himself to the right and the wrong of it?
18950Was his first venture after the priceless gift of Wanda''s love to him, to be a thing like this?
18950Was it Johnson''s?
18950Was it as great as her love?
18950Was it but to be proof to the men who called him fool that fool he was?
18950Was she, to him, like a ripe apple that had dropped into his hand at the touch?
18950Was this wonderful, new thing, love, without beginning as it surely was without end?
18950Was this, after all, the opportunity for which he had yearned?
18950We blow the side of a hill all to hell an''what happens?
18950We got the chance to git the water on the land and make them fellers pay for it or sell to us at our own figger, ai n''t we?
18950We have n''t banked any cash, have we?"
18950Well, what about it?
18950Well, you expect an offer, do n''t you?"
18950Were n''t we a couple of precious kidlets?"
18950What Helga do you know?"
18950What are you going to do now?"
18950What are you going to do?"
18950What can I do to show that gratitude has been the only worry to keep my appetite down to capacity?
18950What can I do?"
18950What consideration did Conway deserve?
18950What difference did that make?
18950What difference does it make?"
18950What do men call him, men who know him and what he is?
18950What do you mean?"
18950What do you see?"
18950What has happened to you?
18950What have you done to your eyes?
18950What have you done to yourself?
18950What in the world made you lie to her like that?"
18950What is it, Wanda?"
18950What is it?"
18950What is it?"
18950What love means?
18950What was the reason for your quarrel?"
18950What went with it?
18950What were the other California valley lands worth where there was the same soil, no better climate and water galore?
18950What''s the answer?
18950What''s the answer?
18950What''s the answer?"
18950What''s the matter with you?"
18950What''s the matter?
18950What''s the use of that kind of talk between friends?
18950When a man loves a woman as I do?"
18950Where a hot luncheon will be waiting for you?
18950Where did you learn that name?
18950Where is he?"
18950Where is she now?"
18950Where''s old Mart?
18950Where''s the twenty- five thousand?
18950Where?
18950Where?
18950Which way?
18950While you were alone here in the winter?"
18950Who are you, you wonderful thing?"
18950Who bought Endymion, Bill?"
18950Who else?
18950Who got it?"
18950Who had written this thing?
18950Who is n''t?
18950Who''s fault, then?
18950Who, Wanda?"
18950Why ca n''t you say it''s none of my damned business, if you feel that way about it?"
18950Why did Arthur borrow twenty- five thousand dollars to begin with?
18950Why did n''t Mr. Leland tell me?
18950Why did n''t he tell me?
18950Why did n''t you write that you were coming?"
18950Why did you say Helga?
18950Why do I want you?
18950Why do you ask that?"
18950Why do you say such things to me?
18950Why had she been so quick to see what people would say?
18950Why had they not come to him in the first place?
18950Why had they not offered him the opportunity to get in on the ground floor with them?
18950Why have n''t you told me?"
18950Why have they gone on with their plan of irrigation without making me an offer for the water right without which their whole plan falls to pieces?"
18950Why, the woman who came to you last night--""Miss Hazleton?"
18950Why, you petit[ Transcriber''s note: petty?]
18950Why?
18950Why?
18950Why?
18950Why?"
18950Why?"
18950Why?"
18950Why?"
18950Will he ever be glad again?"
18950Will you do that for me?"
18950Will you give me a check for it, Garth?"
18950Will you go ahead and run the outfit for me until I get back into it?
18950Will you try to see this from my point of view?
18950Would Wayne have watched the little things playing for ten minutes and then, when he tired of it, shot them in the midst of their play?"
18950Would it not rather give the sheriff just such a bit of evidence as he had long been seeking?
18950Would it sound like the truth to MacKelvey?
18950Would the story he had to tell lessen suspicion in any single breast?
18950Would you kiss me now?"
18950You are a spy and Helga Strawn''s agent, I suppose?"
18950You are going with me?"
18950You do n''t want me to be that, Wanda?"
18950You gave him your power of attorney, did n''t you?
18950You have known him long?"
18950You hope to get back your property from Hume?"
18950You knew that I would, did n''t you, Wayne?"
18950You mean to tell me that Martin Leland held a mortgage over the Bar L- M for twenty- five thousand dollars and that I never heard of it?"
18950You men know that Mr. Shandon is back, do n''t you?
18950You must be in sad need of them, eh?"
18950You remember also why I wrote you?"
18950You were n''t expecting wrinkles already, were you?"
18950You will be running the outfit yourself now?"
18950You will get it to Brisbane for me?
18950You will get this letter out somehow?
18950You wo n''t let what he says make any difference, Wanda?"
18950You''d handle my business for me, keep all knowledge of a foreclosure from me, until the year of redemption had passed?
18950You''d let Martin Leland close me out, would you?
18950You''ll pardon my not having called upon you sooner?
18950You''re headed for the Bar L- M, ai n''t you?
18950Your father told her?"
18950he cried suddenly in the old impulsive way,"will you play something for me?"
18950just a girl?"
22670Ai n''t Hite ther lubber wots allers grubbin''fer money?
22670Ai n''t they likely to return to the James Boys?
22670An wot''s that?
22670And at fifty miles an hour?

22670And left you here with your load?
22670And then?

22670Are you soft enough to imagine you can get away with all of us single handed?
22670Are you sure they were the James Boys?
22670Ay, but whar''s the bandits?

22670But what about my horses?
22670But where''s your team?
22670But why did you say she could catch Jesse James''horse Siroc?
22670Ca n''t you go ahead?
22670Can I go now?
22670Can he overtake us?
22670Can we reach it with this stage?
22670Can you help me roll the wagon inside to protect the grain in case it rains before I can find Eliza again?
22670Can you manage him?
22670Cause why? 22670 Come to crow over me?"
22670Could n''t you find him?

22670Did yer see me drop forty o''them pirates vi''one shot?
22670Did you kill him?
22670Did you tell us about something?
22670Do n''t you know whether it was or not?
22670Do you doubt the probability of such an engine?
22670Do you know which way they went?
22670Do you suppose our prisoner knows what method Jesse James will employ in his attempted raid?
22670Do you want me to prove it?
22670Do you want them to escape?
22670Do you want to throw your neck in the halter by doing this with all hands looking at you? 22670 Does that description tally with the general appearance of the James Boys?"
22670Eliza? 22670 For the Lord''s sake, boy, what''s that you''ve got there-- the sun?"
22670For what purpose did you build her? 22670 Forty?"
22670Goin''arter''em, lad?

22670How can we prevent it?
22670How could you see in the dark?
22670How did Wood Hite get free to escape?
22670How did you escape?
22670How do you mean?
22670How long before Timberlake will discover our ruse?
22670How long have they been gone?

22670If you were a prisoner where did you got the lit pipe?
22670In a big lie?
22670In what way was that a sharp move?
22670In which direction did that man go?
22670Is Mr. Jack Wright in?
22670Is it correct?
22670Is that all?
22670Is that so?
22670Is that so?
22670Is that the Independence stage?

22670The question is, has the train passed?
22670The woman is acquainted with you, ai n''t she?
22670Then he rode off?
22670Then you have an idea that by following the lone horseman we have accidentally run into the outlaw''s encampment?
22670Tim, is that a lie, or a fabrication?
22670To do this job he would need the gang, would n''t he?
22670To leave the State what place would they go to first?
22670To what do you allude?
22670To what do you refer then?

22670What are you going to do?
22670What are you stopping for?
22670What are you talking about?
22670What did you tell the gentleman about it?
22670What do you mean?
22670What do you think of that for bullet- proof armor?
22670What do you want to know, sir?
22670What does this mean anyway?
22670What for?
22670What for?
22670What is it, Timberlake-- a madman?
22670What is it, anyway?
22670What new villainy is brewing?
22670What sort of a place is Wrightstown?
22670What then do you mean?
22670What victory?
22670What was you doing in that farm house?
22670What were they doing with you?
22670What would bring them there?
22670What''s his purpose, Timberlake?
22670What''s that-- a sort of a trolley car?
22670What''s the matter, Jesse?
22670What''s the matter?
22670What''s the matter?
22670What''s up?
22670What?

22670Where are they?
22670Where is the cave situated?
22670Where''s Siroc?
22670Where''s the Terror?
22670Where?
22670Where?
22670Where?'' 22670 Who are they?"
22670Who goes there?
22670Who he vos?
22670Who-- the bandits?
22670Why did they treat you this way?
22670Why do n''t you?
22670Why has it been such a difficult task?
22670Why not, sir?
22670Why not?
22670Why should I?
22670Why so?
22670Why so?
22670Will nothing bribe you?
22670Will you be kind enough to explain how those saurians happened to be in that sea in such a docile frame of mind, Tim?
22670Will you give in?
22670Will you give me that money?
22670Will you quit?
22670Will you? 22670 Without tracks?"
22670Wo n''t anything else satisfy you?
22670Wot d''yer mean?

22670Wot is it?
22670Wot kin I do fer yer ter- day?
22670Wot''s he standin''thar for like a statoo?
22670Would n''t the entrance of his gang to the town excite a great deal of comment and attention if there were no fair?
22670Would you know all the men if you saw them?
22670Wuz them lubbers down in that''ere holler?
22670You have?
22670You just heard our version of how the James Boys eluded us?
22670You wish to see me, sir?
22670And say---""Well?"
22670Bein''as ther guns wuz useless, wot did we do?
22670But in spite of this you did some remarkably good shooting, did n''t you, Tim?"
22670But never mind---""Vot''s all dot shootin''?"
22670But why d''yer want all or this infermation?"
22670Ca n''t we get a supply near here?"
22670D''you hear that?"
22670Did I give away ter ther general panic?
22670Did I run?
22670Did n''t yer like ther yarn?"
22670Did they ever see you commit a cool, deliberate murder?"
22670Go to Missouri in pursuit of the James Boys?"
22670Had n''t we better get out of here?"
22670Hev a chaw er terbacker?"
22670How are we going to ride back to Missouri without a cent?
22670How ve go ahet now ter safe dot drain?"
22670It echoed piercingly through the hotel, and the sheriff started and demanded with a frown:"What did you do that for?"
22670Just then Tim stumped up to them, and proffering a plug of tobacco to the sheriff he asked:"Have a chew?"
22670Now how wuz that fer a bloodless wictory?"
22670Now wuzn''t that a worry mysterious perceedin''?"
22670Now you see my stage?"
22670Now, what shall we do?"
22670See there?"
22670The moment the gang got him alone, Frank whispered:"Where did you get the roll, Jess?"
22670Then he growled:"What do you want?"
22670They refused---""And you dropped the light into the powder?"
22670Timberlake gave a slight start and now said:"Do you know that the James Boys generally prefer to make their camp in just such hollows as this is?"
22670Timberlake?"
22670Was you in the navy?"
22670Whar else did I git this leg blowed off?"
22670Whar wuz we ter look next?
22670Whar?
22670What do you want?"
22670What has happened?"
22670What time does the stage leave the next town?"
22670What''s the plan?"
22670When they returned Jack said:"I wonder if the dynamo spring can be broken?"
22670Who goes there?"
22670Who is she?"
22670Will you acknowledge now that I''ve got you?"
22670Wot did I do?
22670Wot happened then?
22670Wot wuz it?
22670exclaimed Wood Hite,"Where''s the curve?"
22670groaned Tim,"they''ve throwed us off ther course entirely now, Wot one''ll we foller?"
22670he cried,"What''s the matter?"
22670he gasped,"what''s that thing?"
22670what''s that?
22670what''s this?"
20247Afraid of what?
20247Alone? 20247 And about the spider?"
20247And the price?
20247And you''re the clerk?
20247Any answer?
20247Are you cold?
20247Are you cold?
20247Are you coming?
20247Are you ill?
20247Are you satisfied?
20247Baptist?
20247Baseball? 20247 But why go into this so quick?
20247By the way, I''ve just found out why you was so anxious to get into this house, hey?
20247Ca n''t I do something?
20247Ca n''t I look in?
20247Ca n''t y''r father step in and help you?
20247Ca n''t you come to the wedding, Jim? 20247 Call her by her first name now, will yeh?
20247Can I wait and go back with you?
20247Can any of you gentlemen tell us where Mrs. Welsh lives?
20247Can you hear us? 20247 Cheerful prospect-- isn''t it?"
20247Did n''t you know no more''n to bring a Baptist preacher into this house?
20247Did y''get the second bundle of magazines last Saturday?
20247Did you ask for anything?
20247Did you do work like that?
20247Did you just get in?
20247Did you suffer, child?
20247Did you? 20247 Did''e?
20247Do I own some of this town?
20247Do human beings live here?
20247Do n''t they? 20247 Do n''t you want a sleigh ride?"
20247Do n''t you want some med''cine? 20247 Do they have any new things?"
20247Do you call it square for a man-- married, and gray- haired, too-- to take up with a woman like Mrs. Shellberg? 20247 Do you think it needs reshingling?"
20247Do you think it''s so bad as that? 20247 Do you?
20247Does n''t that hay in the bunks get a-- a-- sometimes?
20247Does the moon hurt you, Tilly? 20247 Exciting?
20247Excuse me, Tom, I didn''t----"I said''What you goin''t''do with that roof?''
20247Excuse me, wo n''t you? 20247 Fast?"
20247Glorious spring weather, is n''t it?

20247He''s going to settle down here-- aren''t you, Albert?
20247How are you now, dear?
20247How could I, with you on my manly bosom?
20247How d''ye do? 20247 How de do?
20247How do those people live out here on their farms?
20247How do you do? 20247 How do you feel now?"
20247How far?
20247How goes it?
20247How is he?
20247How yeh feelin'', anyway, pardner?
20247How you getting on, Williams?
20247How''m I t''do it?
20247How''s the sick man getting on?
20247How?
20247Hul-_lo!_ Still at the Latin, hey?
20247I think you are mistaken, just as other jealous women have----"You think I''m jealous, do you?
20247I thought you was going through college all so fast?
20247I want to know how often you''re going to be out till twelve o''clock with this book agent?
20247I''m his mother now, and he''s goin''to do just as I tell him to-- ain''t you, Albert?
20247I''m just out of Jackson University, and----"That so? 20247 In the dark, hey?"
20247Is Albert Lohr in this car?
20247Is n''t it awful?
20247Is that so? 20247 Is that so?"
20247Is that so?
20247Is the doctor still here?
20247Is there a church there?
20247Is this the place?
20247Is this where Mrs. Welsh lives?
20247It pays, do n''t it? 20247 It was brave, though, do n''t you think so?"
20247It''s almost spring again, is n''t it? 20247 It''s dreadful, is n''t it?
20247Know where you are?
20247Majah, what have you done with our ice- cream cow?
20247May I help you in, Miss Newell?
20247Miss Powell, are you free to marry me?
20247My dear, you are really ill. What''s the matter? 20247 My wife knows about you, and----""Who told her-- did you?"
20247Now, what do you propose to do?
20247Now, what in----you been up to?
20247Now, why are you down on the judge? 20247 O Ed, is n''t this delicious?
20247O doctor, how is she?
20247Oh, ca n''t I do something?
20247Oh, do you drive the horses?
20247Oh, is n''t it dreadful?
20247Oh, must you? 20247 Oh, what shall I do?"
20247Oh, will you? 20247 Oh, would n''t I!--Can you get along, mother?"
20247Ought they not to come in?
20247Please do n''t let him know I''ve said anything to you, will you?
20247Poor fellow, what will become of him?
20247Pretty strong, is n''t it?
20247Ready for company?
20247Really?
20247Sam, will you be quiet?
20247Say, Stacey, have you got a policy?
20247Say, Stacey-- by Jinks!--are you a Baptist?
20247Say, would you take a country school several miles out?
20247Say,called Morris suddenly,"wo n''t you come up here and help me raise my staging?"
20247See them lights?
20247Sha''n''t I drive for you?
20247Shall I, mother?
20247She calls him Wallace?
20247So the old man sent for me himself, did he?
20247The Artesian is owned by the railway, eh?
20247Then-- Mr. Ramsey is n''t hurt?
20247There, is n''t that a fine field?
20247Tom, wo n''t you call the man in?
20247Very well; what is it, Ed?
20247Very well; will you go look at it?
20247Was n''t she fine?
20247Was the town named after you, or you after the town?
20247Well, Edith, are you ready?
20247Well, I do n''t quite believe----"Oh, I_ lie_, do I?
20247Well, I''m here; what ye going t''do with me?
20247Well, s''pose it does, who cares?
20247Well, sir, what can I do for you?
20247Well, suppose he is?
20247Well, what do you think of our charming town?
20247Well, what is it, sis? 20247 Well, where_ is_ the Artesian House?"
20247Welting a man on the head with a whip- stock ai n''t anything, hey?
20247Were n''t you hurt?
20247What are these things for?
20247What are you going to do?
20247What college?
20247What denomination?
20247What did you do then?
20247What did you go to that board for? 20247 What do I care?"
20247What do you mean?
20247What do you mean?
20247What do you mean?
20247What do you think of_ Penelope_ this month?
20247What do_ you_ want to do with the fiddle-- think it''s a music box?
20247What fer?
20247What is it, Joe? 20247 What is it, Nell?"
20247What kind of a job?
20247What roof?
20247What roof?
20247What say?
20247What shall I call you?
20247What the deuce do you mean by that tone? 20247 What the thunder is the matter of you anyway?
20247What would be the use? 20247 What y''goin''t''do here, or are y''goin''t''take the girl away with yeh?"
20247What you been doing?
20247What''s he doing up here?
20247What''s that?
20247What''s that?
20247What''s the matter of ye, Nell? 20247 What''s the matter, Nell?
20247What''s your object? 20247 When are we going to visit the camp?"
20247When did this coom on?
20247When do we reach there?
20247When do you reach the junction?
20247When?
20247Where do all these people come from?
20247Where do we go now, Miss Powell?
20247Where do you propose to go?
20247Where''s the town?
20247Which is the ice- cream cow?
20247Who do you mean? 20247 Who is he, anyhow?"
20247Who is he? 20247 Who mad?
20247Who the hell y''take me for? 20247 Who?"
20247Why did n''t you come down with the baroosh?
20247Why did n''t you get into the basket?
20247Why do n''t you teach?
20247Why not?
20247Why, Ed, what''s the matter?
20247Why, how dare he make love to my niece? 20247 Why, what do you mean?"
20247Why, what more could you ask? 20247 Why, what''s the matter, Maudie?
20247Why, why!--what is it? 20247 Why-- why-- what do you mean?"
20247Will you ask her to come here a moment?
20247Will you ride?
20247Wo n''t you read to me?
20247Wo n''t you sit down and play for us?
20247Wo n''t you sit down by the fire?
20247Would you go if I asked you?
20247Yes; know him?
20247You act like a jeal----"Jealous of that gray- haired old wretch? 20247 You read Latin?"
20247You think I lie, then?
20247You''re very strong, are n''t you?
20247Yup; nice little scheme, ai n''t it?
20247After Williams went out Field said,"I wonder if he''ll do it?"
20247After a decent pause the younger man said"Going to Kesota, are you?"
20247After a little--"Don''t you remember, Mattie''how beautiful the moonlight seemed?
20247After a pause she said:"You were raised on a farm?"
20247After a short and vigorous"blowing up,"Albert said:"Well, now, what''s the meaning of all this, anyhow?
20247Ai n''t they somethin''?"
20247Ai n''t y''got any sense?
20247Ai n''t your fever risin''?"
20247Albert, do you know me?"
20247Almost the first thing she asked was,"How is Williams?"
20247Am I in your way?"
20247Are there many teams out?"
20247Are they all like that?"
20247As he looked at them the thought came to him, What is the goodness of a girl-- of a child?
20247As they streamed away in files she said:"Is n''t he good- looking?
20247At last she contrived to say,"How did you find the roof?"
20247At last she turned with a sudden impulse:"O Tom, why ca n''t we be friends again?
20247Bert, old fellow, are you there?"
20247Brann?"
20247But the horse-- is he gentle?"
20247But what can we do?
20247But what cared the drivers?
20247But what had you planned to do after your divorce?"
20247But you''ll come back?"
20247By the way, everybody I talked with to- day about leaving said,''What''s Lohr going to do with that girl?''
20247By the way, you''re a theolog, are n''t you?"
20247Ca n''t it go faster?
20247Ca n''t something be done for him?"
20247Ca n''t you let a thing rest?
20247Ca n''t you trust me?"
20247Ca n''t you trust to that insight of which women are supposed to be happily possessed?"
20247Course I ca n''t ask Jim to stay and read all the time, and he''s a bad reader, anyway; wo n''t you?"
20247Did n''t the old lady have a time of it raisin''me?
20247Did the Galilean forbid love and joy?
20247Did you get a chill?"
20247Did you strike her?"
20247Did you want to see me?"
20247Dis goes troo de way it began, or we do n''t play-- see?"
20247Do n''t make fun of him, will you?
20247Do n''t ye think so, love?"
20247Do n''t yo''want the minister to be sent for?"
20247Do n''t you hear him?
20247Do n''t you know you ca n''t safely abuse that young fellow in her hearing?
20247Do n''t you think so?"
20247Do n''t you_ wish_ I would n''t?
20247Do people still eat brown sugar?
20247Do you do that?"
20247Do you feel the draft there?
20247Do you know what I mean?"
20247Do you know, few women know what that means?
20247Do you think I''ll get my divorce?"
20247Do you think she will?
20247Does it, Art?"
20247Edith tipped her eager little face up at him:"Really?"
20247Expect to meet friends there?"
20247FALSE COIN OR TRUE?
20247Father and Uncle Marsden shook hands----""What?"
20247Funny how things go, ai n''t it?
20247Goin''t''take y''r girl out, hey?"
20247Great scheme, that sociable, eh?
20247Have you been quarreling?
20247Have you seen Mott?"
20247He greeted her as his equal, and said:"Is Miss Newell at home?"
20247He stopped in his dressing to say,"We''ve struck a great boarding place, hey?"
20247Her voice shook painfully as she replied:"You do n''t think I''m_ all_ bad?"
20247Hired man?"
20247How are you?
20247How could they?"
20247How could those dreadful men fight about me?
20247How do you find yourself?"
20247How is he?"
20247I feel as certain that we can be happy together as I am of life, so I come back to my question, Are you free to marry me?"
20247I like theaters, do n''t you?"
20247I never thought I''d come to this-- did you?
20247I told''em I did n''t know; do you?
20247I wonder how they came to build a town without a row of battlemented stores?"
20247I wonder if ol''sorrel can pass''em?"
20247If you want''o set dis community by de ears agin, you do dat ting-- see?
20247In such air, in such sun, who could die?
20247Is he awake?"
20247Is n''t he savage?"
20247Is n''t it still?
20247Is she pretty?"
20247It''s awful to be a woman, do n''t you think so?
20247Joe Bent, a smallish man, with a weak, good- natured face, asked in a hoarse whisper:"How is she, Mis''Ridings?"
20247Just hitch the horses, will you?
20247Just in?
20247Looking for a school, eh?
20247Lovely things to play with, ai n''t they?"
20247Make it bucks?"
20247Mattie cried out to her mother in quick, low voice,"O mother, how is he?"
20247Miner?"
20247Miss Welsh, will you attend the festivity of the evening under my guidance and protection?"
20247Mother sick?"
20247Mrs. Blakesly turned and saw Ware close behind her, and said,"O Mr. Ware, where is my dear, dear husband?"
20247Not Joe?"
20247Now I call that splendid; do n''t you?
20247Now keep_ quiet_, or have I got t''make yeh?"
20247Now look here-- how''s this?
20247Now the question is, can you find a place for me?"
20247Now, Major, you see what I told you?"
20247O Marthy, what''ll become o''them?
20247Of course you played?"
20247Oh, when can I go?"
20247Ramsey, do you think that millet has got water enough?"
20247Ramsey?"
20247Ramsey?"
20247Ransey?"
20247Say, do you, now?"
20247Say, you''re a good one, you are?
20247Shall I put down the curtain?"
20247She did n''t need to go there every day or two, did she?
20247She fell silent here, and Morris was forced to ask,"What did he do then?"
20247She often spoke of him, and on the following Saturday night, when Field came home, she anxiously asked,"Is Williams in town?"
20247She resented his classing her with the rest, but she simply said:"You despise me, do n''t you?
20247She told her husband about Williams, and ended by asking,"Ca n''t we do anything to help the poor fellow?"
20247Shellberg?"
20247Still I put it in this way, y''kneow-- if he were n''t so deadly sentimental, what could n''t the fellow do, y''kneow?"
20247The woman with the children inquired for the tenth time,"Is the next station Lodi?"
20247The world was all bright then-- wasn''t it?
20247Then he asked,"Who is the yoong mon?"
20247There was a weary droop in her voice; she seemed aware of it, and said more brightly:"You mean Marion, I suppose?"
20247There, will that do?"
20247These nasty little Western colleges-- what do they amount to?
20247They all drew up noisily, and Allen said:"Ask the blessing, sir?"
20247They do n''t run freight such nights as this?"
20247Two delicate women struggling along; suppose one of''em should fall sick?
20247Upon whom does the burden of guilt lie?"
20247Want some breakfast?
20247Want y''r hands washed and y''r hair combed?"
20247Was she a girl?
20247We used to string sweet- williams on spears of grass-- don''t you remember?"
20247Were the others less in need of grace?"
20247Were you reading?"
20247What brings you here?"
20247What could he say to them?
20247What did he always receive her in his private office for?
20247What do the women do out here?"
20247What do you suppose they said of me?"
20247What do you think you can do by crowding on top of him?"
20247What good would it do me to go to school another year, come out without a dollar, and no more fitted for earning a living for her than I am now?
20247What kind of a school?"
20247What kind of work?"
20247What seems the matter?"
20247What was it about?"
20247What was it?"
20247What you doin''out such a day as this?
20247What''s been going on here since my absence?"
20247What''s the matter-- sick?"
20247What''s the matter?"
20247What_ is_ the matter o''you?"
20247When did it happen?"
20247When did you come down?"
20247When did you come?"
20247When he came back again, the brakeman said to Albert, in a hesitating way:"Ai n''t going t''stop off long, I s''pose?"
20247When is our train due?"
20247When?
20247Where are you staying?"
20247Where did the young beggah get his science?"
20247Where''d you learn all that, anyway?"
20247Where''s Ben Holly''s claim?"
20247Who shall say they did not right?
20247Who''s been hurtin''my poor little bird?"
20247Why did n''t you let me know?"
20247Why did n''t you stand up like a man?"
20247Why did n''t you telegraph me at Marion?
20247Why not come right up to my boarding place, and to- morrow I''ll introduce you?
20247Why not put it off fifteen or twenty years?"
20247Why should Williams study her husband''s hands?
20247Why should this young fellow be going abeout defending the good name of his niece?
20247Why this change from Racine?"
20247Why, Bert, look here-- No?
20247Why?"
20247Wo n''t you come?
20247You ca n''t expect us to live with men we hate, can you?
20247You deon''t allow your mind to go that fah?"
20247You do n''t?
20247You know how kind o''lily- livered Lawyer Ransom is?
20247You play dat confidence game and dey''ll rat ye-- see?
20247You see, they need a man around the house, so we-- You''ll come, wo n''t you, old fellow?
20247You understand?"
20247You would n''t have me wipe it_ six_ times a day, would you?"
20247_ Ca n''t_ you hurry?"
20247ai n''t that lovely?"
20247he shouted,"what''s all this?
20247how''d it happen?"
20247must you go?
20247said a breathless, hearty voice,"what the deuce y''been doing with my pardner?
20247that you?"
20247that''s got around to you, has it?
20247the elder woman readily agreed;"but why do n''t you ask what it was all about?"
20247there''s a sociable to- morrow night; I guess we''d better go, had n''t we?"
20247why did n''t you shout?
20247will yeh?
20247would n''t they talk?"
12436''And leave Dad?'' 12436 ''Do you know why I''m going?''
12436''I''ll do what I can to keep him away from Barry,''says I,''but do n''t you want nothin''done to the man what killed you?'' 12436 ''S that a fact?"
12436A bit peeved, doc?
12436A light_ behind_ his eyes? 12436 A narcotic?"
12436After you come all this way you''re going to run away from Barry? 12436 Ah, an outlaw?
12436Ah,murmured the man of learning,"is it possible?
12436Ah-- ah-- fear of what he may do?
12436Ai n''t I what?
12436Ai n''t had time? 12436 Ai n''t he got to see his way?"
12436Ai n''t it a kind of light_ behind_ his eyes?
12436Ai n''t it nacheral, Mac?
12436Ai n''t there things that might hold him up?
12436Ai n''t they any oil in it? 12436 Ai n''t you goin''to close the eyes, Mac?"
12436Ai n''t you had anybody to spell you, Fatty?
12436And how''s your patient, doc?
12436And thanked God, Buck?
12436And that--?
12436And what might be wrong?
12436And when Jerry dies, Mac starts for this Barry?
12436And when he came back,he said,"Barry did not know you?
12436And where is he?
12436And you let him go of your own free will?
12436And you told him no?
12436And you?
12436And, if so, what bonds are used for the man? 12436 Anything you need or wish?"
12436Are you Barry?
12436Are you a human bein''and yet you think more of your hoss and your damned wolf- dog than you do of the life of a man? 12436 Are you afraid to watch?"
12436Are you coming back?
12436Are you coming?
12436Are you goin''to steal the hoss?
12436Are you going to stand it, Kate? 12436 Are you mad, girl, to dream of goin''out in a night like this?"
12436Are you mad? 12436 Are you sure of that, marshal?"
12436Are you the creepin'', sneakin''snake that done-- this?
12436Ask the girl? 12436 Bad time to- day?
12436Barry,he said,"I''m askin''you for the last time: Will you get your hoss and ride back to Kate Cumberland with me?"
12436Barry? 12436 Bart,"he said,"d''you know me?"
12436Beat him to the draw?
12436Ben in town long?
12436Both dead?
12436Buck, you didn''t--_strike_ him?
12436But because we have failed,he said steadily,"is that a reason we should creep off and brood over our failure in silence?
12436But the story?
12436But what d''you mean?
12436But what has the man been doing since he left? 12436 But what is there we can say?"
12436But who''s he after?
12436But why do you leave so suddenly?
12436But you will go?
12436Ca n''t we talk jest as well out here?
12436Ca n''t we talk those over on the way to the ranch? 12436 Ca n''t you make the lamp work?"
12436Can you tell me what it is?
12436Could n''t get the doc, Kate?
12436Could n''t name me someone that''s travelled about, I s''pose?
12436Could you keep the wind from blowing, Doctor Byrne? 12436 D''ye hear?"
12436D''ye hear?
12436D''you forget a knife that''s sticking into you? 12436 D''you hear him?"
12436D''you hear that?
12436D''you know him?
12436D''you know, doc,he said gravely,"that you remind me of a side- hill goat?"
12436D''you mind sayin''that over agin?
12436D''you remember Shorty Martin, Kate?
12436D''you s''pose I''d ought to go back to the Cumberland place for him?
12436D''you see?
12436D''you think I ought to stay?
12436D''you think I''m jest talkin''words, Kate, to hear myself talk?
12436D''you think it''s easy for me to go? 12436 D''you think,"asked Haw- Haw Langley, pressing his reeking horse a little closer to Mac Strann,"that he''ll come out after us in a rain like this?"
12436D''you think,he parried,"that Jerry could maybe look through all this and see what I''m doin''to- day?"
12436Dan,he pleaded,"ai n''t things as they once was?
12436Dan,he said,"can you sit there and lie like that to me?
12436Dan,she cried,"what''s happened?
12436Dead? 12436 Did Jerry tell you that?"
12436Did Jerry_ want_ me to get Barry?
12436Did you ever use such a tone with a human being? 12436 Do I care who knows it?
12436Do I got to drink in a barnyard? 12436 Do I understand,"he insisted,"that there is some mystery connected with them?"
12436Do n''t you figure on doin''nothing about it?
12436Do n''t you know him?
12436Do n''t you see that he is simply more in tune with the animal world? 12436 Do n''t you see, Buck?
12436Do n''t you see? 12436 Do n''t you see?"
12436Do they know you?
12436Do you hear it?
12436Do you hear?
12436Do you hear?
12436Do you mean that if he sleeps it will be-- death?
12436Do you mean that you will leave us while Mr. Cumberland is in this critical condition?
12436Do you suppose that one of the men from the bunk- house could have shot him?
12436Do you want to be alone?
12436Do you want to go to your room first, doctor, or will you go in to see him now?
12436Doc, tell me this: Can a wolf commit a crime?
12436Doc, you talk well,broke in Joe Cumberland,"but if he ai n''t human, why do humans like him so much?
12436Doc,he said,"if you knew where there was a gun, would that make you want to put it up agin your head and pull the trigger?"
12436Does it make any difference,he said,"to Dan?"
12436Drinkin''?
12436Eh?
12436Eh?
12436Fight? 12436 Fight?"
12436Fire?
12436For how long? 12436 For_ his_ sake?"
12436Forget you, Mac? 12436 God A''mighty,"groaned Haw- Haw Langley,"can he get the hoss out?"
12436Gunman?
12436Had you handled his gun first?
12436Has he lost interest in the things which formerly attracted and occupied him?
12436Have a bad time of it to- day?
12436Have you got anything to say agin it?
12436Have you seen Dan?
12436Haw- Haw,answered Mac Strann,"Will you gimme a hand saddlin''my hoss?
12436He has n''t gone, yet?
12436He run into a gunman?
12436He''ll be happy now for a few days,went on the girl,"but afterwards-- when he realises that it means nothing-- what then, Buck?"
12436He-- has-- stepped-- out?
12436Help her to win_ him_ over? 12436 Him that throwed you yesterday?"
12436Him? 12436 Hoss kicked him-- fall on him?"
12436How about steppin''inside and havin''a talk?
12436How could wild geese call me? 12436 How is she, Buck?
12436How long before sunset now?
12436How many times,he thundered,"have you seen Kate Cumberland?"
12436How''d_ that_ door get open?
12436How''s old Joe Cumberland? 12436 Huh?
12436I did n''t quite gather what you said?
12436I do n''t suppose it seems possible,he said,"that a man could miss another man the way you could miss your-- dog, eh?
12436I presume you refer to riding a horse?
12436I s''pose maybe you could name some of the outfits from here on a line with Bald Eagle-- say you put''em ten miles apart?
12436I says:''Why, Jerry?
12436I want to ask you,went on the devil in Jerry Strann,"where you got your hoss?"
12436If Barry comes to me, ai n''t he the one that''s breakin''the law? 12436 If I say that I went back to the ranch- house with my feet on the ground and by heart up there among the stars, will you understand?
12436If I was to beg you to come for old- time''s sake, and all we been through together, you and me, would n''t it make no difference to you?
12436If Jerry''s held on this long ai n''t there a chance that he''ll hold on longer? 12436 If they was another within ten miles, d''you s''pose I''d call on you?"
12436If you hurt a man''s dog,explained Mac Strann calmly,"you''re hurting the man, ai n''t you?
12436If you was a man, could you treat me like you''ve done? 12436 Is breakfast ready, Wung?"
12436Is he comin''?
12436Is it fatal, Dan?
12436Is it fixed?
12436Is it him you got your fears for? 12436 Is it him you''re beggin''for?"
12436Is it him?
12436Is it possible?
12436Is it that?
12436Is it true, what Buck said? 12436 Is that all you got to say to me?"
12436Is that horse what you hear?
12436Is there anything I can do for you?
12436Is there no hope for Bart?
12436Is this a damned kennel?
12436Is this attended by irritability?
12436It ai n''t Pale Annie, is it?
12436It_ is_ beautiful-- God knows!--but does n''t the wolf- dog understand it better than either you or I?
12436Jerry, what you seein''?
12436Jerry, what''s the matter? 12436 Kate Cumberland?"
12436Kate Cumberland?
12436Kate,he said in a voice which was hardly more than a whisper,"why did he follow Jim Silent?"
12436Kate?
12436Leaving us?
12436Like what?
12436Listen to that, will you?
12436Lost your chestnut?
12436Ma''am,he began,"do n''t I look honest?"
12436Ma''am,said Buck Daniels,"ai n''t you going to favor me by sittin''down?"
12436Mac, do n''t you remember that Barry beat Jerry to the draw?
12436Mac, what''re we goin''to do?
12436Mac,he said,"do n''t you see no reason why Jerry would n''t ask you to go after Barry?"
12436Mac,he whispered,"has it got to be done?
12436Man of the story?
12436Maybe you been readin''minds, stranger?
12436Maybe you know the lay of the land up as far as Hawkin''s Arroyo?
12436Maybe,grinned the big man,"you creased him?"
12436Me? 12436 Mines?"
12436Mornin'', Dan,he said, whetting his knife across the table- cloth,"I hear you''re ridin''this mornin''?
12436Mr. Barry, are you leaving us?
12436My God A''mighty, ai n''t you got no human feelin''s?
12436Never heard of him?
12436No fever to- day, doc?
12436No price? 12436 No?
12436No?
12436Now what?
12436O''Brien, you seen it?
12436Oh Dad, you know it means everything to me-- but you told him no?
12436Old?
12436Partner,he said,"d''you swear this is straight?"
12436Reason?
12436Regular house- pet, ai n''t he?
12436Shaky?
12436Since when?
12436Smoke?
12436Smoke?
12436So you''re a doc, hey? 12436 So?
12436Some drunken bum do it?
12436Some people you used to know; I suppose you''ve forgotten all about''em, eh?
12436Something in the nature of an outburst, eh? 12436 Something to give him just one moment of full relaxation?"
12436Speakin''man to man, Haw- Haw, d''you think Jerry will forget me?
12436Steal him? 12436 That so?
12436That''s the way this strange man of the story whistles?
12436The mind?
12436The word upon which I--"Stopped?
12436Then she must n''t marry him? 12436 There ai n''t a hope for Jerry Strann?"
12436To start, then-- five hundred bucks in cold cash-- gold!--for your-- what''s his name?
12436Trip?
12436Two men? 12436 Understand?"
12436Want to watch me tie it?
12436Was I right? 12436 Was it Buck Daniels that you seen at Rafferty''s place, Marshal Calkins?"
12436Was it true,he whispered,"what Buck said?"
12436Well,said the doctor,"do you know anything about them?"
12436Well?
12436Well?
12436Well?
12436Well?
12436What are you saying?
12436What connection,said the doctor,"have wild geese with a man, a horse, and a dog?"
12436What could I do?
12436What d''you do to kill time? 12436 What did he do?"
12436What did you say there was about his eyes?
12436What do you mean by that, doctor?
12436What does it mean? 12436 What folks?"
12436What has it all brought to me? 12436 What have I been doin''?
12436What in hell d''you know about a horse and a man and a dog-- and wild geese?
12436What in hell d''you think this is?
12436What in the name of God are you doin''here at this hour?
12436What is it?
12436What is it?
12436What is the nature of their relations; what makes him so oddly dependent upon the other?
12436What might it be that you been doin''?
12436What of that?
12436What sense is they in that?
12436What steps do you suggest that I consider?
12436What the hell has reason got to do with Whistling Dan? 12436 What time you ridin''against?"
12436What was it?
12436What with?
12436What you goin''to do?
12436What''s all the mystery and hush stuff?
12436What''s his name?
12436What''s it mean?
12436What''s that to do with it?
12436What''s that?
12436What''s that?
12436What''s the idea?
12436What''s the matter with findin''some chairs?
12436What''s the matter, Kate?
12436What''s the news?
12436What''s your price?
12436What?
12436What?
12436When Barry hears about what you done here to two men, d''you think that he''ll ever hit your trail?
12436When your father lay at death''s door was he half so anxious as he is now? 12436 Where is Buck?"
12436Where''d he go?
12436Where''s Dan?
12436Where''s Dan?
12436Where?
12436Which way?
12436While he was n''t looking?
12436Who done it?
12436Who done this?
12436Who owns that hoss?
12436Who shot him from behind?
12436Who''s been tellin''you?
12436Who''s bothering Jerry?
12436Who''s done this?
12436Who?
12436Why d''you hope that?
12436Why did n''t he get farther away? 12436 Why did you stay so close?"
12436Why should I see that?
12436Why would n''t he?
12436Why, man,cried Buck,"then what''s there to keep you here?
12436Why?
12436Wild geese?
12436Will he leave before the morning?
12436Will he stay?
12436Will it last long?
12436Will you b''lieve that I stood here and was sort of froze? 12436 Will you go out to wander between heaven and hell-- on a night like this?"
12436With a trail of dead men behind him?
12436Wolf?
12436Would n''t he? 12436 Would you know that black hoss agin if you seen him?"
12436Would you want me to get him, Jerry?
12436Yes?
12436Yes?
12436Yet you see that Dan Barry-- Whistling Dan, you call him-- was closer to Black Bart than he was to you?
12436You ai n''t bothered, Mac? 12436 You ai n''t gettin''nervous, Mac?"
12436You ai n''t goin''to walk onto that wolf, Mac?
12436You ai n''t going into the house lookin''for him, Mac?
12436You ai n''t got a piece of money to bet on that, partner?
12436You ai n''t satisfied, doc?
12436You ai n''t? 12436 You are quite sure, also, that the return of this man, this strange wanderer, might help Mr. Cumberland back to health?"
12436You expect to see that?
12436You feel a little better?
12436You going to try for a record between Brownsville and Elkhead, eh? 12436 You long for these parts?"
12436You never heard of Mac Strann?
12436You see how the mystery assumes shape? 12436 You see the result of this?
12436You was plugged from in front-- my beauty-- was you?
12436You wonder how I''ve reached the new viewpoint? 12436 You''d-- what?"
12436You''re going to beat it?
12436You?
12436You?
12436_ He added sharply, as he finished the bandaging:Where''d he head for?"
12436_Was Jerry lookin''the other way when he was spotted?"
12436''How do you guess at that?''
12436''The devil?''
12436''You are n''t jesting?''
12436A cow?"
12436A gunfighter?"
12436About you?"
12436Against him?
12436Ai n''t I come all this way to see it-- I mean to help?
12436Ai n''t I seen you in action?
12436Ai n''t going my way, are you?"
12436Ai n''t it possible?"
12436Ai n''t that easy to do?
12436Ai n''t that simple?"
12436Ai n''t there any other way?
12436Ai n''t you goin''to bust him up, Mac?"
12436Ai n''t you going to speak to me?
12436Ai n''t you got a word of pity for poor Buck Daniels that sneaked off like a whipped puppy?
12436Ai n''t you noticed how sort of close it is in a house?
12436All these days?"
12436Am I a dog, maybe, that I got to stand around and jump when he calls me?"
12436Am I right?"
12436Am I right?"
12436And Dan Barry?
12436And Kate-- what will she do?"
12436And he was sitting behind you-- while you stood there?"
12436And him not half your size?"
12436And it''s really no more reasonable to expect Black Bart to remember you than it is to expect Dan Barry to remember you?
12436And then for her and Joe I rode down south and when I met Dan Barry d''you think they was any light in his eyes when he seen me?
12436And what sort of man can he be?
12436And what would it do to Kate?
12436And what, Mr. Daniels, is the nature of a side- hill goat?"
12436And when you give him your affection, Miss Cumberland,_ you are giving your affection to a wild wolf!_ Do you believe me?"
12436And who might he be?"
12436And why do n''t they lock him up?"
12436And why?
12436Are they in the room?"
12436Are ye there?"
12436Are you forgettin''me, Jerry?"
12436Are you mad at me?
12436Are you with me?"
12436Ask her?"
12436Because my back was turned?
12436Besides, what good is it goin''to do you to find the dog?"
12436Besides, whoever heard of a tame wolf comin''into a barroom?"
12436Buck, how far will they go?
12436Buck, how''d you and Dan come along together?"
12436Buck, is there any change?"
12436Buck, what are we going to do?"
12436Buck, what''s come between us since them days?
12436Buck, why did he go?"
12436Buck, will you take the doctor up to his room?"
12436But Fitz could see his own blood, and you know what that does to the Scotch- Irish?
12436But at the most he''ll have less than a day''s start-- and what is a day to Satan and Dan Barry?"
12436But how could I stand to see Barry pass Kate by with an empty eye, the way he''d do if he come back?
12436But on what does the flame feed?
12436But that hand did not move; and Buck Daniels?
12436But though one member of that swift, grim trio had accepted her, did it mean that the other two would take her in?
12436But what does the whistling mean; is it for his wolf- dog?"
12436But what''s my tag- end of life compared with yours?
12436But what''s the matter?
12436But what_ could_ she do?
12436But why not imagine a throw- back into the earlier instincts?
12436But why should I have felt depressed because of failures in the eyes of these silly yokels?
12436But you was talkin''about his eyes?"
12436Ca n''t you git on your hoss and ride back with me to Cumberland Ranch?
12436Ca n''t you wait till the morning?"
12436Can I foller the wind, Haw- Haw?
12436Can a bomb explode and make no sound and do no injury?
12436Can the eye follow such speed as the cracking lash of a whip?
12436Can you beat that?"
12436Can you date him up for to- night as sure as that?"
12436Can you do that?"
12436Can you find me, lad?"
12436Chemistry?
12436Cumberland?"
12436D''ye hear now-- now-- now?"
12436D''ye hear?"
12436D''you ever notice it, Kate?"
12436D''you forgive me?"
12436D''you hear?"
12436D''you know anything about that dog?"
12436D''you know it?"
12436D''you know why he''s dying?
12436D''you know, doc, I was in Elkhead the night that Dan got our Lee Haines?"
12436D''you notice that, Mac?"
12436D''you think it ai n''t like tearing a finger- nail off''n the flesh for me to go away from Kate?
12436D''you think it''s been easy to stay here?
12436D''you understand?"
12436Dad, what happened to make you give up every hold on Dan?
12436Dan, I''m askin''you straight, is that a square thing to do?"
12436Dan, are you goin''to let Joe Cumberland die because you want to stay here and fight it out with a dirty cutthroat?"
12436Daniels?"
12436Dear God, man, have you read of the pipes of Pan?
12436Did he work so hard, by half?
12436Did he?"
12436Did n''t the drunk guy try to pot Bart?"
12436Did you really expect the dog, the wolf- dog, Black Bart, to remember you?"
12436Did you think of that?"
12436Do n''t I remember how we all got down and prayed you to keep away from Jim?
12436Do n''t I remember how you threw everything to hell so''s you could get your hands on Jim?
12436Do n''t I remember the way you trailed Jim Silent?
12436Do n''t you hear?"
12436Do n''t you understand?"
12436Do you want me to unnerve the very strength which keeps him alive?"
12436Doc, how long would I have to stay?"
12436Does that mean nothing?
12436Eh?"
12436Ever?"
12436Fatty, how long will it be before there''s an end to Mac Strann?"
12436Found what?
12436Got a bet up, eh?"
12436Got a light here, ai n''t you?"
12436H''ware you?"
12436Happy?
12436Hard to breathe?
12436Has he gone up to his room yet?"
12436Has n''t he proved it a thousand times?"
12436Have I told you of that room?
12436Have you any idea?"
12436Have you got a fast hoss to start with?"
12436Have you lost your reason?
12436He answered at length:"How long would I have to stay?
12436He answered:"Can you hate a thing which is not human?
12436He asked in a raised voice:"Do n''t you hear me, lad?"
12436He broke off, for Mac Strann had jerked up his head and said in a strangely muffled voice:"What was that?"
12436He do n''t look changed, none, does he, Haw- Haw?
12436He managed to stammer:"Ai n''t you going to get Barry?
12436He said:"And do I understand you to say that the girl and this man-- Whistling Dan, as you call him-- are intimately and sentimentally related?"
12436He shrilled suddenly:"What if he should hit us both, seein''us together?
12436He was such a creature that, if he had been led to a barrier, the entire crowd at the race track would rise as one man and say:"What is that horse?"
12436He went on, cautiously, and his weak eyes blinked at Daniels:"And there is a relation between this man and a horse and dog?"
12436He whispered rapidly:"You remember last night when you was out of the room for a minute?
12436He''ll go back to meet Mac Strann-- and then----"She ran to the chair of Buck swiftly and caught his hands:"What sort of a man is Mac Strann?"
12436Hey?"
12436His ears were pricking in eagerness; she heard a snarl, but so low and muffled that there was hardly a threat in it; could it be a plea for attention?
12436How about it?"
12436How can you hope to win it?
12436How is it that he likes Kate, enough to give up a trail of blood to stay here with her?"
12436I cried,''Do they fence the devil in a corral?''
12436I know that material can not be created and that energy means dissolution of matter: but why does not the life of Joseph Cumberland dissolve?
12436I mean you were nothing to him?"
12436I''m going to buy him; where''s the owner?"
12436If I kill him then, wo n''t it be in self- defense?
12436If we got to dig his grave in Brownsville, is it my fault?
12436If you''re comin with me?"
12436In another age, with armour and a golden chain and spurs, Jerry Strann would have been-- but why think of that?
12436Is it going to be hell for you, too, every time you hear''em?"
12436Is n''t he your friend?
12436Is n''t that enough?"
12436Is that right, Kate?"
12436Is that square?"
12436Is there nothing I can do for you?"
12436Is they any use hatin''a mountain- lion that kills calves?
12436Is this the case?"
12436Is your time so damned valuable you ca n''t spare a few days for that?"
12436It''ll take you clear till to- morrow night to reach Elkhead, even with relayin''your hosses?"
12436Jerry turned his head to me-- jest the way he''s lyin''now-- and I says:''Jerry, is there anything I can do for you?''"
12436Jerry, lad, would ye like that?"
12436Know Gary Peters?"
12436Lew, you seen it?"
12436Like Bart, have you forgotten me, Dan?"
12436Look here,"argued Strann,"everything''s got a price, and I got to have that hoss, understand?
12436Looks like he was all wrapped up in it, eh?"
12436Love?
12436M''frien'', are you tryin''to string me?"
12436Mac, will you save me?
12436Most like he was jest playin''a joke on me, eh, Buck?"
12436My God A''mighty, man, did n''t I see your face when you had your fingers in Silent''s throat?"
12436Nerves bad, eh?
12436Now, just what do you know?"
12436Now, would you think that was possible?"
12436O''Brien came hastily, with drinks, and while they waited Strann queried politely:"Belong around these parts?"
12436Of course you''ve heard of him?"
12436Of what did he think as he walked?
12436Oh, Buck, why did you stay so close to us?
12436Oh, doc, if you could of seen her as I''ve seen her in the old days----""When the man was with her?"
12436Oh, lad, why was I bound up in a tangle like this one?
12436Proofs of friendship?
12436Queer, ai n''t it?
12436Remember Fitzpatrick?
12436S''pose he gets on this hoss and cuts away?
12436S''pose you was n''t able to keep him away from me?"
12436See the way he''s smilin''?"
12436She added at once:''What of poor Dad?''
12436She answered in a voice as low as his, but steadier:"What could have happened?
12436She said after a moment:"Do you hate him-- you plead against him so passionately?"
12436She said, relentingly:"Maybe you been off by yourse''f mining, stranger?"
12436She said:"Will you use a narcotic?"
12436Sick?
12436Sick?"
12436Smart?
12436Specially, he ai n''t so good at ridin''--you know what bowed legs he''s got, Kate?"
12436Strann?"
12436The deputy swore again, but he added, enlightened;"Going to plead self- defense, eh?"
12436The man thus addressed allowed his lower jaw to drop but after a moment he ejaculated:"Now what in hell d''you mean by that?"
12436The spirit?
12436The strength of men could not conquer him; but how could their very weakness disarm him?
12436The whistling?
12436Then he heard her cry:"Have you forgotten me, like Bart?
12436Then how is it that he took so much care of me when he come back this time?
12436Then what would happen?
12436Then, why leave the pleasant warmth for the chilly greyness of the day outside?
12436Then:"H''ware you, doc?"
12436There I stood like I was chained to the floor-- you know how it is in a nightmare when something chases you and you ca n''t run?
12436There was an incredible excitement as well-- her will against the will of the dumb brute-- which would conquer?
12436They ai n''t no love of blood in Dan-- except-----""Well?"
12436They heard Dan Barry''s soft, gentle voice query:"How you feelin''now, partner?"
12436They lost; but if you lose what''ll happen to me?"
12436This-- er-- inner acuteness is accompanied by no particular interest in any one thing?".
12436Understand?"
12436Was I right?"
12436Was he about to stand up and walk out of the room?
12436Was he in truth looking at her, or was he staring beyond her at the grey sky which lowered past the window?
12436Was he losing the desert, and was the desert losing him?
12436Was it ten years ago that I left?"
12436Was she, too, waiting?
12436Was that a footstep on the hall?"
12436Was that the place where they kept the horse?
12436Was that what gave her the touch of sad gravity, the mystery like the mystery of distance?
12436Was the brute stalking her?
12436Were the chains of humanity falling about him to drag him down to a tamed and sordid life?
12436What beauty is there in the world to appeal to such a creature except the beauty of the marrow- bone which his teeth have the strength to snap?"
12436What can have held him so long?''
12436What d''you mean?"
12436What d''you want to know?"
12436What do I take with me?"
12436What have I been ravin''about?"
12436What have you to fear from Dan?
12436What is he?
12436What is the fire that burns but does not consume Joe Cumberland?
12436What is the story?
12436What is the thing in the wandering Dan Barry which Kate Cumberland fears and yet waits for?
12436What standards govern it?
12436What terrible pean would he send whistling down to the dull earth far below?
12436What was it that Pale Annie said to you?"
12436What was it?
12436What was there to be done?
12436What were appeals and what were words to Black Bart?
12436What were they to Dan Barry?
12436What will be the end?
12436What with that Dan Barry-- I ai n''t steppin''on any corns, Kate, am I?"
12436What would happen?
12436What''s on your face?"
12436What''s the dog doin''here?"
12436What''s the matter with him, anyway?"
12436What''s the out?
12436Where are your theories and explanations now, Doctor Byrne?".
12436Where did Barry run to?"
12436Where has he gone?"
12436Where is he?
12436Where is he?"
12436Where you been hangin''out?"
12436Where you come from?"
12436Where''d the bullet land?"
12436Where''s the gent I want?"
12436Where''s the owner?"
12436Which is the most important?"
12436Who''s out?
12436Who?
12436Why did n''t I let you burn?
12436Why did n''t I never go with you before?
12436Why did n''t he ride night and day after he left us?
12436Why did you tell him he could go?"
12436Why does he mean so much to me-- to Kate?"
12436Why not imagine the creature devoid of the impulses of mind, the thing which we call man, and see the splendid animal?
12436Why should we stay here and make ourselves miserable by talk?"
12436Why was it that Daniels trembled with dread when he started out to find a man who, by his own profession, he holds to be his best friend?
12436Why?
12436Why?
12436Will you come in?"
12436Will you come into my room for a few moments?"
12436Will you come with me, Kate?"
12436Will you keep the wolf away?"
12436Will you keep them out?"
12436Will you talk for me?"
12436Would I fall down on you now, Mac?
12436Would they trust you with hosses that way, Gary?"
12436Would you_ face_ him?"
12436Yet you are happier in the prospect of Mr. Barry''s return?''
12436You ai n''t doubtin''how this''ll turn out?"
12436You ai n''t going in there by yourself, Mac?"
12436You choose your mounts at random?"
12436You did n''t see him follow you after you left the Circle X Bar?"
12436You have loved him; but is love merely a giving?
12436You know how four walls seem like so many pairs of eyes standin''around you?"
12436You know when you can look right across a thirty mile valley and name the trees, a''most the other side?
12436You seem like you was hearin''something?"
12436You''ll ask for whatever you need?"
12436You''ve no real idea why Dan left the ranch?"
12436_ where is he?_""He has stepped out for an instant,"answered Byrne smoothly.
12436cried the doctor,"What''s up with you?"
12436if Barry was to come back d''you suppose he''d remember that he''d once told Kate he loved her?
12436roared the latter,"what d''you want?"
13717''How d''yer want it?'' 13717 ''Is thet thar meant ez a reflection on my wife?''
13717''What''s ther matter?'' 13717 A what?"
13717Ai n''t you going after that young imp, Creviss? 13717 Aire yer afraid ter fight ther boss?"
13717Aire yer goin''ter turn over ther motor car an''give yer infermation ter ther police?

13717An''who''s goin''ter give him a fair fight? 13717 An''yer did n''t take''em?"
13717And I suppose she ran onto some hot stuff?
13717And how much was you paid for it?
13717And how?
13717And it was stolen from the express car?
13717And no one has appeared?
13717And then what?
13717And they let you come right up with them?
13717And what was it?
13717And who are you?
13717And who is he?
13717And you say the Indians are camped at the Hole in the Wall?
13717Any news of her?
13717Any of them get away?
13717Any of you gentlemen like to have some of the same sort of medicine?
13717Anything else ye''d like ter know?
13717Are there ghosts there?
13717Are you going to stay down here?
13717Are you hit? 13717 Are you ready?"
13717Are you sure it was a dog?
13717Are you talking to me?
13717Bad?
13717Bud, where are the other boys?
13717But about Riley?
13717But about the Pecos?
13717But how about the Pecos?
13717But how did he manage to do it without leaving a mark or a broken lock behind him?
13717But how did you do it?
13717But how erbout ther feller in ther check suit what wuz so kind an''attentive ter us?
13717But how?
13717But not on all people all the time?
13717But our brand and ear crop? 13717 But what had the midget to do with the theft of our money?"
13717But what is it like?
13717But what wuz ther feller goin''ter explore yer with it fer?
13717But where aire yer goin''ter keep it? 13717 But where did you get them?
13717But where do they get it?
13717But where do they get the shade to give to the men?
13717But which way are they expected to fly, toward you or from you?
13717But who is the fellow who runs the show? 13717 But who was the young lady who slipped me the note?"
13717But wo n''t Mr. Truax tip it off?
13717But, Bud, are they really smart?
13717Ca n''t this freak that comes here in a dress suit and tries to lord it over us take care of himself?
13717Can you ride?
13717Come to, have y''u?
13717Could friendship go any farther than that?
13717Could n''t keep away, eh?
13717D''ye like thet thar pony?

13717D''yer mean ter say that ye hev stalled me along ter this town ter give me a leetle airin'', an''not ter sell hosses?
13717Did any of you folks see a red automobile going down the road any time to- day?
13717Did he understand him? 13717 Did n''t he say anything about his machine?"
13717Did n''t they get next that they were being followed?
13717Did she say where she got this information?
13717Did the goat understand him?
13717Did they git much?

13717Did you see him look around the room?
13717Did your bank make a shipment of currency to the East, last week?
13717Do n''t you know who that is?
13717Do n''t you think you better take Stella''s pony, Magpie, along with you? 13717 Do you know who he is?"
13717Do you like to ride, Scrub, I mean Dick?
13717Do you mean what''s my name?
13717Do you recognize this bill?
13717Do you see that little shelter of canvas over against the wall?
13717Do you want to go that far and look at them?

13717Does my music annoy you?
13717Dog- gone you, what do you mean by goin''erway an''hidin''out on us that way? 13717 Eh?
13717Evely moling? 13717 Ever have about three ounces of duck shot pumped into yer system through yer hide?"
13717For fear the innocents will lose their money?
13717For instance?
13717Forgotten to bring what?
13717Get a line on where the hole is?
13717Good morning, Stella; what is so interesting?

13717How do you know?

13717In what way?
13717In what way?
13717Is Mr. Norcross in his office?
13717Is he dead, Bill?
13717Is n''t she a little beauty?
13717Is n''t she getting fierce?
13717Is that all there is to it?
13717Is that all they are?
13717Is that so? 13717 Is that so?"
13717Is there any secret passage by which he might escape?
13717Is this a haunted house?
13717It would hold a good deal of paper money, would n''t it?
13717Jest picked him up wanderin''?
13717Jumpin''sand hills, so yer got him, eh? 13717 Jumpin''sand hills, yer not goin''ter run it yere?"

13717Lesterday moling, evely moling?
13717Let''s see; it was about four o''clock when you turned in, was n''t it?
13717Looks pretty complicated, does n''t it?
13717Must I ask the question and get caught? 13717 My name''s-- Say, are you sure enough Ted Strong?"
13717My share of the--"What?

13717Not the leader of the broncho boys, are you?
13717Now, see here, Tom, if I give you the chance will you dig out of this and escape? 13717 Now, what are you laughing at?"
13717Now, what hez ther hombre got up his sleeve, I wonder?

13717Now, which of you is Tom?
13717Now, who are you, and how did you happen to be mixed up in that mess?
13717Now, why in the world do they call themselves the Flying Demons?
13717Now,said Ted, when he saw this good sign,"where have you been all day and all night?
13717Oh, I beg your pardon,said the stranger hastily,"but is n''t Mr. Fowle in?
13717Oh, ah, rather young for such work, are n''t you?
13717Oh, are you the misguided chump whom I heard make the remark about pushing me about, as I came up?
13717Oh, is he quarrelsome?
13717Oh, may I go with you?
13717Oh, ole Pap Norris, eh? 13717 Oh, so you''re afraid, are you?"
13717Only one bean? 13717 Or is it just one of your weekly sillies?"
13717P''r''aps yer lookin''fer a race ter see what ther best we''ve got in camp kin do, no?

13717Say, Bellows, how many times have I got to tell you not to stand there gassing with patrons of the show? 13717 Say, Bud, we''ve had enough of that gentleman for one day, have n''t we?"
13717Say, Missee Stella,he said,"Song all samee one cowbloy now, eh?

13717Screamin''catamounts, did yer see thet, Stella?
13717See here, my friend, how could I have killed that man, then come in here, and locked and barred the door on the outside?
13717See here, what do you mean? 13717 See that automobile over there?
13717See that fellow with the checked suit, on the opposite side of the street?
13717See that right eye hole? 13717 See yere, gal, what is all this noise about?"
13717She is some on ther picture, ai n''t she?
13717She''s all right, but--"But what, podner?

13717So you''ve got them bottled up, eh?
13717Sorry for your sake that you lost, Cap, but the fortunes of racing often turn unexpectedly, eh?
13717Sure it was he?
13717Sure you could have heard them? 13717 Ted Strong, aire yer goin''dotty over them derned smell wagons, too?"
13717Ted, wo n''t we go?
13717Tell me, is it possible thet yer eyeteeth aire so far secreted up inter yer head thet yer do n''t know erbout baggin''snipe?
13717That so? 13717 That sounds as sensible as the conundrum,''Why is a hen?''"
13717That you do n''t know, or that you do n''t care to say?
13717The old man was easy, eh?
13717Then he''s up at the corral?
13717Then the paper on which these things were written came from the bank?
13717Then we''ve got just about an hour, eh?
13717Then what are you doing in the haunted house?
13717Then what does one''s first impression amount to, anyway?
13717Then what happened?
13717Then where do you suppose he''s going with it?
13717Then why are you insulting our intelligence by stating that a herd of hogs followed you into the water and swam after you? 13717 Then why did n''t you go out and get him?"
13717Then why do n''t yer move away?
13717Then why should he be drawn into this mess?
13717Then ye''ll consent ter pull off ther race in Snyder?
13717Then you have n''t heard the news?

13717Well, for a chap who gets into it as often as you do--"What''s the trouble now, over there?
13717Well, friend, have you decided to come out to my ranch, and look my stock over?

13717What did you know of Checkers?
13717What did you see outside that you do n''t see every morning?
13717What do they call it?

13717Why did n''t he bluff it out?
13717Why did n''t you say something about it?
13717Why did you let him ride it? 13717 Why do n''t yer?"
13717Why do n''t you give the girls a chance at him?
13717Why do you want to hang this old man?

13717Why, Kit, what''s the matter with your arm?
13717Why, are you a thief and a gambler?

13717Why, what''s the matter with that? 13717 Why?
13717Why?
13717Why?
13717Why?
13717Wise Injuns, eh?
13717Wonder what the''extra''is all about?
13717Would it be any harm if I took a ride away from the camp?
13717Would you like some of it?
13717Would you like to go out again? 13717 Would you?
13717Yer ai n''t afraid o''these cattle, aire ye?

13717Yes, who do you think committed these robberies?
13717You are bound to go there? 13717 You delivered it according to my instructions?"
13717You do n''t believe it, eh?
13717You do n''t believe what a Chinyman tells yer, do yer?
13717You have n''t forgotten the mysterious robbery of the Strongburg Trust Company''s office, have you?
13717You left me to hold the bag, did you?
13717You think you''re smart, do n''t you?
13717You want my resignation?
13717You wo n''t answer, eh? 13717 You''d like to hear it, eh?
13717You''re not going to stand for it, are you?
13717''What is the color of your car?''
13717Ach, Gott in himmel, vat haf I dided?
13717Ai n''t that enough?

13717An''yer traded?"
13717And that''s how many shy?"
13717And what was his stage name?
13717Anything else?"
13717Anything else?"
13717Are n''t they just awful?"
13717Are you a coward?
13717Are you casting aspersions on my show?"
13717Are you such a coward that you will punish a woman for your spite against a man?
13717As the stranger did not speak, Ted broke the spell by saying, in a sarcastic tone:"Well?"
13717But Ted was upon his back with the swiftness of a bobcat, and they came together to the floor with?
13717But how aire yer goin''ter go erbout it?"
13717But what are you going to do?
13717But what makes you so anxious about it?"
13717But what''s the use if we can get at it in some other way?"
13717But where is he?
13717But why do n''t you wait and go in with the troops?
13717But why should I know where the young lady is?"
13717But why?
13717But why?
13717Calls hisself Cap now, does he?"
13717Could it be that the fall had killed Pokopokowo?
13717Den you see who der knitting und der tatting do, eh?"
13717Did he say what he wanted?"
13717Did n''t I do the dirty work?
13717Did n''t the goat like him?"
13717Did n''t they come pretty near bein''ther whole thing?"
13717Did she say?"
13717Did that old pirate give it to you?"
13717Did they get you at last?"
13717Did you ever see a scarlet cow?"
13717Did you hear anything about Skip Riley?"
13717Did you hear that?"
13717Did you learn?"
13717Do n''t yer see?
13717Do n''t you know, as long as you have been on earth, that swine can not swim without committing suicide?"
13717Do n''t you see, she has sent this message out from the Hole in the Wall, where she is a prisoner?
13717Do yer know what''ll happen when ther boss comes back an''finds out that it ai n''t been did?"
13717Do you reckon he intends to come back?"
13717Do you remember the fellow in the train whom Kit knocked down?
13717Do you want to come with me?"
13717Do you want to come with me?"
13717Do you, Calamity, old girl?"
13717Does n''t he?"
13717Easton?"

13717Feelin''better?"
13717Get any of the money?"
13717Goin''ter try ter git him inter trouble, too?"
13717Had he locked up?
13717Had this stripling accomplished what older and stronger men had failed in?
13717He had on a--""Checked suit?"
13717Her look said:"What do_ you_ think?"
13717Holding a post- mortem over me?"
13717How could five hundred head get away from us?
13717How did the pig do it?"
13717How did yer come out?
13717How did you get there?"
13717How did you know?"
13717How do you like me in this?"
13717How erbout ther animile what yer sits on so graceful?"
13717How had it been done?
13717How long has he been there?"
13717How many horses and saddles will you need?
13717How much did they get away with?"
13717How much do this outfit owe yer?"
13717How were they accomplished?"
13717How you likee shootee?"
13717I almost fergot it, did n''t I, while teachin''yer something erbout ther way they do things in Arizony an''her sister- in- law, Noo Mexico?
13717I did n''t lose so much myself, an''I ai n''t got nothin''agin''the ole man; it''s you I''m after--""Why did n''t you come alone if you wanted me?
13717I do n''t know what his name is, do you?"
13717I wonder what he is, anyway?"
13717If I wuz ter pick out yer counterpart in ther animile world, I''d say yer most resembled the phillaloo?"
13717If I''d been caught, who''d have been soaked?
13717If the owner comes and proves property, I suppose you''ll give it up?"
13717Is he a good boy?"
13717Is it a go, shore enough?"
13717Is it a go?"
13717Is it a go?"
13717Is n''t he coming to the ball?"
13717Is n''t that a waste of time?"
13717Is preakfast retty?"
13717Is that a go?"
13717Is that all satisfactory?"
13717Is that all ther story?
13717Is that my hand?"
13717It was all Dick could do to reply with a feeble, quavering"How?"
13717Just as they were about to start Stella cried:"Where is Jack Slate?
13717Just before the dance began Bud approached Stella, and said:"See that gal over thar?
13717Let''s see what it is?"
13717Louis?"
13717Mebbe yer knows him?"
13717Mebbeso you likee some fried ham and eggs?"
13717Now, honor bright, is it?"
13717Now, what do yer think he he d?"
13717Savvy?"
13717Say, Mr. Strong, you''re a deputy United States marshal, ai n''t you?"
13717Say, are you a prisoner?"
13717See that left eye hole?
13717She is mine, an''I''m goin''ter dance this with her; see?
13717So yer gradooly led up ter this place, pretendin''ter sell hosses, eh?"
13717So, we''ve been done out o''more''n five hundred head, eh?
13717Stopping in front of her, he said:"Is this seat taken, lady?"
13717Strong?"
13717Takin''a leetle pleasure pasear?"
13717Ted, are you sure about this Colonel Billings?"
13717Ted, do you want to know what I think?"
13717The buckskin was grazing peacefully a few hundred yards away, and as they walked toward it Sol Flatbush said:"Bud, d''ye know that ole maverick?"
13717The earth?
13717The one you ride most?"
13717The smartest o''all animiles is man, an''do n''t he wear whiskers?
13717Ther one with ther corn- silk bang?
13717Vat?"
13717Wait, what was this?
13717Want any help?"
13717Want to go along?"
13717Was it necessary for you to bring a whole posse with you?"
13717Well, maybe you''re all right, but what are you doing here?
13717Were they bred mean on purpose?"
13717Whar did yer git it?"
13717Whar did yer git thet magpie hoss?"
13717What about a trained monkey?"
13717What are you going to do about it?"
13717What can I do for you?"
13717What d''yer make o''that?"
13717What d''yer say?"
13717What did it mean, and how could any stranger know his business when he had not told a soul about it?
13717What do you want?
13717What if the train robbers should fail?
13717What in ther name o''Sam Hill an''Billy Patterson hev yer picked up now?"
13717What is a''rent rag''?
13717What is it?
13717What is it?"
13717What is it?"
13717What is it?"
13717What is this I see?"
13717What makes you think so?"
13717What might yer bizness be at home?"
13717What name would you rather have than Scrub?
13717What robbery was it you shared in?"
13717What seems ter be the trouble?"
13717What was it all about?"
13717What were you doing near those detectives, that you should have got in so handily?"
13717What you sayee?"
13717What''d ther Lord give us teeth fer if grub is ter melt in ther mouth?
13717What''s it all erbout?
13717What''s thar in it fer you or me if ther cub in thar dies er not?
13717What''s the matter with your arm, Kit?"
13717What''s the names of some of Ted Strong''s fellers?"
13717What''s the reason we wo n''t?"
13717What''s ther difference?
13717What''s your name?"
13717What''s yours?"
13717When did you write?"
13717Where did you get all these clothes, and who takes care of her?"
13717Where did you get the bubble?"
13717Where did you see him?"
13717Where in the world did you learn to do all the things you do so well?"
13717Where''s Norris?
13717Who are you?"
13717Who do you suppose it is?"
13717Who is she?"
13717Who is the man for whom the dance is to be given, Bud?"
13717Who''s been riding her?"
13717Whom do they want?"
13717Why did n''t yer fix it so''s them two charges o''shot would hev been distributed among ther gang?
13717Why did n''t you wait and write us to meet you after you got here?"
13717Why do n''t they get inter ther exterminatin''business, an''clean up ther last o''them?"
13717Why do n''t they make it something else?
13717Why do you ask?"
13717Why do you ask?''
13717Why should n''t she?
13717Why should they want to keep me away from the town?
13717Why, what is this?"
13717Why?"
13717Will you kindly tell us fer why, perfessor?"
13717Will you surrender?"
13717Wo n''t Ted be surprised when he sees it?"
13717Y''u do n''t want me to kill them before we get there, do y''u?"
13717You did the dirty work of being lookout, or something like that, and they threw you the bone while they kept the meat and fat, eh?"
13717You have n''t forgotten Stella, have you?"
13717You have seen me in town every day since the little trouble we had over that old thief Norris, have n''t you?"
13717You''re going to get the other boys to help you, are n''t you?"
13717You?
13717cried Bud Morgan, as he rode alongside the girl,"What did he do?"
13717she called to the Chinese cook, who was standing on the veranda grinning like a heathen idol,"got anything good to eat?"
13717shouted Ping, makin''a rush fer ther goat,''thet''s my goat Ezra, ai n''t you?''"
26137''That?'' 26137 All safe, fellows?
26137And did that give the ranch the name by which it is known to you?
26137And is it still your wish, sir, that I make O''Grady walk the rest of the way?
26137And yet-- wouldn''t it be lovely?--To think of seeing you there!--are you sure there''d be no danger?
26137And you are going-- soon?
26137And you''ve not been chased? 26137 Are you wondering whether those fellows really are United States regulars?"
26137Been long in Arizona?
26137But the Fifth Cavalry are here now, and they will soon be up there to help you, and put a stop to all that,--won''t they?
26137But those Indian ponies, Mr. Ralph, could n''t they beat him?
26137Can you tell?
26137Corporal,said he to the non- commissioned officer in charge,"is n''t that O''Grady''s horse off there to the left?"
26137Did I not?
26137Did he answer?
26137Did you challenge?
26137Do n''t like to? 26137 Do they, Nan?
26137Do you know who they are?
26137Do you mean you have not forgotten_ that_? 26137 Do you suppose that Gleason has got the start of us after all?
26137Do you think he can walk over to my quarters?
26137Does n''t he, Mack?
26137Going? 26137 Had n''t you better see the colonel about that?"
26137Has any despatch been sent down to meet Colonel Stanley?
26137Has he?
26137Have you heard anything about this report of Stanley''s last night?
26137Have you seen anything of Corporal Potts?
26137Have you sent for a surgeon?
26137How about that, Nihil?
26137How far from here to-- the Springs?
26137How is this?
26137How long ago?
26137How long since you ate anything?
26137How on earth could you have been so careless, Billy?
26137How so?
26137How''d I know anybody was over there?
26137How''d we happen to get him, then?
26137I-- thought--another quick glance at the piazza--"that a soldier, on leaving, should-- salute his commanding officer?"
26137Is it worth all the long journey, and all the excitement in which your mother tells me you''ve been plunged for the past month?
26137Know what that is, boys?
26137Looking for anybody, Nan?
26137Major Wilton is_ post_ commander; but-- did you not-- a year----?
26137May I say a word, sir?
26137No, somewhere up above us,--near the Nest, probably,--though who can tell? 26137 Now, do you know, I thought just the other way?
26137Now, what about Lodge Pole?
26137Oh, why did we let him go? 26137 Old man, are you much hurt?"
26137Over with your blankets, are they? 26137 Poker?
26137Ralph? 26137 Sergeant, was it by the commanding officer''s order that O''Grady was put in there?"
26137So you do n''t wear the sabre on a scout? 26137 Tell me,"she suddenly asks,"have you applied for leave of absence?"
26137Tell them what?
26137Ten- fifty, did you say?
26137That so?
26137Then you have n''t seen or heard a thing?
26137Then-- will he go?
26137Well, that report as good as finds him on demerit, does n''t it?
26137What about it?
26137What does Billy say about it?
26137What does it all mean?
26137What is it? 26137 What is that man''s name?"
26137What makes you think they''ve spotted me, anyhow?
26137What man did this one most look like, so far as you could judge?
26137What on earth is that?
26137What say you, Ralph?
26137What was he doing, Carroll?
26137What''d you bring me that infernal old hearse- horse for?
26137What''s the matter, doctor?
26137What''s the matter,--quick?
26137What''s the row?
26137What''s the trouble, sentry?
26137What?
26137Where away was that signal smoke we saw at the divide?
26137Where is_ he_?
26137Where on earth are you going?
26137Where was he?
26137Where''s Van?
26137Who fired?
26137Who is it? 26137 Who was the man?
26137Who''skinned''him?--Lee? 26137 Who?"
26137Whose horse is that, orderly?
26137Whose horses are these?
26137Why not to Hawkshurst, if anywhere at all?
26137Why not, sergeant?
26137Why not? 26137 Why not?"
26137Why? 26137 Wo n''t I do for commanding officer this time?"
26137Worth it, Uncle Jack?
26137Worth it? 26137 Would you mind asking if there are letters for me?"
26137You are going to the ball, though?
26137You do n''t mean O''Grady?
26137You do n''t mean-- you''re not going down to Hawkshurst, Billy?
26137You duly notified the superintendent of your impending arrival, I suppose?
26137''Had Mr. Burnham''s wife and daughter come?''
26137''Were Mr. Burnham and the ladies over at the other ranch?''
26137( for when excited O''Grady_ would_ relapse into the brogue);"but are ye much hurt?"
26137And he made it, too; did you notice?
26137And now what was his duty?
26137At last,--"Do n''t you think you ought to have asked me, before applying for leave to go?"
26137But how many men you got?"
26137Ca n''t you bring him to?
26137Could he hold out till then?
26137Could it be that O''Grady detected it?
26137Could you make him out?"
26137Did you see him up at the post?"
26137Did you send up your card?"
26137Do any of you know his history?"
26137Do n''t you?"
26137Do you mean that now-- for all time-- my first allegiance shall be to you, Miriam?"
26137Drop her and save himself?
26137Ever seen them?"
26137Every man to the ranch, and you get word to Lodge Pole, will you?"
26137Have I not a right to know what has brought about the change?"
26137Have any of you been to the ranches lately?
26137Have you been quite kind to me of late?
26137He knows all too well that an immediate inspection will be the result, and then, what is to become of McKay?
26137He may be gone a whole hour, but will you stay right here-- you and dolly-- and take good care of the satchel?"
26137Hear those mules?
26137Her eyes have told him how earnestly she repents: and does he not always read her eyes?
26137How are you, boy?
26137How can you speak so of Willy, when he is so devoted to you?
26137How long has her mother been dead, Ralph?"
26137How many men have you here?"
26137How''s this for a moustache?"
26137I did not suppose that you would so soon prove to be-- no friend to Willy, or----""Or what, Miss Nannie?"
26137I suppose they never come across between Laramie and Fetterman, do they, Ralph?"
26137I was asked to designate some young man for West Point who thoroughly deserved it, and is not this appointment well won?"
26137I''ve got it poulticed, sir, and he''ll be all right in a day or two----""Sure it ai n''t a nail?"
26137I''ve never been this far down; but what do you want to bet that_ that''s_ what the lieutenant is aiming at?
26137If he were an Indian whom you wanted to bring down what would you set your sights at, providing you had time to set them at all?"
26137If this be true is it not time to be making her peace?
26137If_ he_ would only ask for me, or if I could only do something to make him glad to ask; but what chance is there?"
26137Is he missing?"
26137Is it battalion drill?"
26137It means that they crossed the stage road, Ralph, but how long ago was that, do you think, and where are they now?
26137Lee?"
26137Look out for them for me, will you, Stan, until old Snipes gets there and sends for me?"
26137Mrs. McKay, is it not?"
26137No?
26137Now, how shall we fix it?"
26137Now, will you stay here with us or go up to Farron''s and tell Wells what you''ve seen?"
26137Oh, for pity''s sake, gentlemen, ca n''t you do something?
26137Oh, it is n''t_ true_?
26137Ralph?"
26137Relieve him?
26137Stanley?"
26137Tell me one thing: how long had you been drinking before you were confined?"
26137The men waved their hats to Ralph and his soldier comrade, and one of them called out,"Whar''d ye leave the cavalry?"
26137The old officer of the day looked up inquiringly:"Where is O''Grady, sergeant?"
26137The only question now is, will he not come or send forward to the Chug to meet me, and could I not be with mother two days earlier that way?
26137The silence was embarrassing, so I inquired,--"What had he to report?"
26137There is a minute of banging doors and hurrying footsteps, and gruff queries of"All in?"
26137Think you can hold on five minutes longer, or shall I toss you over and let you swim for it?"
26137Was it not brought to your room?"
26137Was there ever a time, dear, when my whole heart was n''t open to you in love and sympathy?"
26137We ca n''t let you go?"
26137Were the Indians ahead of him then, and on both sides of the road?
26137What chance has an army boy in Wyoming against the son of some fellow with Senators and Representatives at his back in Washington?
26137What chance, indeed?
26137What could it mean?
26137What could you have said if you''d had the chance?
26137What d''ye think he told me when I went to hunt him up?"
26137What danger is there?
26137What did I tell you?"
26137What does your mother think of it?"
26137What has she said or done to deserve penance like this?
26137What hope to save her now?
26137What is it you tell me you have kept for me?"
26137What is it, daughter,--tired?"
26137What makes those little flashes, sergeant?"
26137What o''clock is it?"
26137What say you, sergeant?"
26137What say you?"
26137What was she to do?
26137What was the last news from your father, Ralph, and when do you go?"
26137What''s that?"
26137What''s that?"
26137What''s the difference when time''s so nearly up?"
26137What''s wrong at the Chug?"
26137Where did he get him?
26137Where do you suppose they could have sent it?"
26137Where is he?"
26137Where''s Ralph McCrea?
26137Where''s the rest of the regiment?"
26137Where, then, was Romney Lee?
26137Who can tell of the dread, the emotion he felt as he clung to the trusting little one for that short moment?
26137Who comes_ there_?"
26137Who ever heard of a''tack''s''inspecting after taps two successive nights?"
26137Who fired?"
26137Who is to give Farron warning?"
26137Why did those eyes-- so heavily fringed, so thickly shaded-- seem to her familiar as old friends?
26137Why in----, sir, are they not here on your horse, where they ought to be?"
26137Why''n thunder ca n''t you see I''m doing my best?
26137Why?
26137Why_ did n''t_ he send her here?"
26137Will you put your horse in to- night?"
26137Willy,_ do_ you know who it was?
26137Wonder if sticking up is something they continue when they get to their regiments?
26137Would you mind my telegraphing to father at Laramie and asking him?"
26137Yes; but what means that for me?
26137You are not going out of barracks?"
26137You will have a chance this very evening, wo n''t you?
26137You''ll excuse me, colonel?"
26137You''ve seen nobody?"
26137_ Do n''t_ you think he ought to have come forward like a gentleman, days ago, and told the truth?
26137_ Indians?_ Why, the whole country''s alive with''em between here and Hunton''s.
26137_ Sure_ they have n''t seen anything at Laramie?"
26137_ Tell_ me,"she says, impulsively, imploringly,"are you going to inspect?"
26137_ Where_ are ye?"
26137_ Will!_ What is it?
26137_ Would_ you mind taking care of her a few minutes?
26137he calls,"who was the young officer who just drove off in the carriage with the lady and gentleman?"
26137he cried, excitedly,"_ the wire''s cut!_""Where?"
26137how is he to get an appointment?
26137that must have been two miles back,--full half an hour ago: you do n''t mean that ridge is two miles away?
25960''Course you are goin''to sell-- I got to have four more ranches to fill out my farm-- and when I want''em I get''em, see? 25960 ''How does she look?''
25960''What''s that?'' 25960 Ah Sing,"he said, decisively,"how would you like to have a partner?
25960Altogether how much money have you put in over there?
25960And are you going to see it through?
25960And is it about yourself?
25960And that damned Rogeen-- what of him?
25960And the other time you played?
25960And you have no money to make a crop?
25960Any good chances to invest money over there?
25960Are there any strings to it?
25960Are you from the East?
25960Are you sure? 25960 Are you the good Samaritan or merely one of the thieves?"
25960As dad used to say,remarked Noah Ezekiel,"the fields are white for the harvest, but where are the reapers?"
25960As the poet says,Noah Ezekiel drew down the corners of his mouth, pulling a long face,"ai n''t life real?"
25960Before you begin on that absorbing subject,she bantered,"tell me, will our cotton now sell for enough to pay Mr. Crill that note?"
25960Better quit now, had n''t you?
25960But if it does n''t stop on your number?
25960But--he frowned--"if the girl should continue obstinate, and they refuse to sell?"
25960But, Uncle--there was accusation in the tone--"why did you ever come out to this awful country?
25960By the way,Reedy suddenly remembered a coincidence in regard to that undertaker''s receipt,"where was it your husband lost the sale of that mine?"
25960Ca n''t you borrow any more?
25960Ca n''t you collect it under the Mexican laws?
25960Can we go back over the Mexican road, and come into the valley round the Laguna Salada?
25960Can you lend me a blanket?
25960Could n''t you persuade them to sell?
25960Daddy,she had come up to where the little bald- headed man was plowing-- throwing up the ridges,"do n''t you like spring?"
25960Decided you would go back to the old job selling pots and pans?
25960Did Jim Crill deposit$ 25,000 here subject to my check?
25960Did n''t you make some money on that, too?
25960Did n''t you tell me-- wasn''t I to have charge of the little things?
25960Did you do that?
25960Did you learn anything?
25960Did you lend it to him?
25960Did you make them understand?
25960Did you see Rogeen?
25960Do n''t also know somebody that wants a chauffeur for a tractor? 25960 Do n''t bother me with that now; do n''t you see I''m busy?"
25960Do n''t you know,said Bob, earnestly,"that everyone of these games give the house from 6 to 30 per cent., and that you are sure to lose in the end?"
25960Do what?
25960Do you know if he has bought Chandler''s?
25960Do you know what it said?
25960Do you mind if-- if I lend myself five cents a pound on 180 bales?
25960Do you reckon I''d trust you to lend to others if I did n''t trust you myself? 25960 Do you reckon you could let me have five dollars to- night?"
25960Do you sell farm machinery over there?
25960Do you suppose, daughter,he asked, troubled,"that it is practical for us to continue in our present environment for another season?"
25960Do you think Mr. Rogeen will make money on it?
25960Do you think we can do it?
25960Everything all right?
25960Had n''t you also better move to town?
25960Have you got the Chandler ranch yet?
25960Have you had an offer?
25960How are you feeling, dear?
25960How did you know?
25960How do you like being a cotton planter?
25960How is it going?
25960How you comin''?
25960How?
25960I beg your pardon,Bob met them at the foot of the stairs,"but can you tell me if Mr. Jenkins is in?"
25960I wonder what he is going to do with it?
25960I wonder,he remarked without meeting his employer''s eyes,"if he would sublease it?"
25960I wonder,he said,"what philanthropist is abroad in the land at one o''clock in the morning?"
25960I''m from the Ozarks, but as the silk hat said to the ash can,''Where in hell does the_ we_ come in?''
25960If it was your own money in that crop, what would you do?
25960If you wired to the department for authority,suggested Bob,"could n''t you get it?"
25960In love?
25960Is Mr. Crill at home?
25960Is Mr. Crill in?
25960Is he safe?
25960Is that so?
25960Is that so?
25960It was?
25960Know the country pretty well?
25960Me and you partners, heh?
25960Misty Jenkins say''Ah Sing, want pick my cotton?'' 25960 Motor trucks?"
25960N- o?
25960No? 25960 Not going to gamble, are you?"
25960Notice a cotton gin being built across the line?
25960Now may I trouble Señor Jenkins for fifty dollar?
25960Oh, do you?
25960Oh, would n''t they?
25960Prosperity or mere recklessness?
25960See Bondeberg?
25960See that?
25960Shut off the water? 25960 So?"
25960Some special friend of yours?
25960The best?
25960Try to interfere with his loans?
25960Was he a preacher?
25960We?
25960Well, are you fellows through?
25960Well, which do you think Mr. Rogeen will do?
25960Well, why do n''t you get it?
25960Well?
25960Well?
25960What am I to do?
25960What became of it, Ah Sing? 25960 What did they do to that fellow that broke up the trade?"
25960What did you do?
25960What did you pay for them?
25960What do you suppose is the matter?
25960What do you think of the Red Butte Ranch?
25960What great good has Señor Reedy clabbering in his coco now?
25960What happened the other two times?
25960What is it you want?
25960What is the matter?
25960What is this?
25960What means the gasolene chariot?
25960What money?
25960What part, may I ask?
25960What person?
25960What skunk and what money?
25960What''s the idea?
25960What''s the matter? 25960 When did you get back from Guaymas?"
25960When did you get in, Evy?
25960When did you hear that?
25960When will he be in?
25960Where is his water?
25960Where is your fiddle?
25960Where is your ranch?
25960Who is it?
25960Who warned you?
25960Who was that old chap?
25960Whom is this for?
25960Why did they sell so cheap?
25960Why do you suppose,asked Bob as they drove south past the Mexican gin,"Jenkins has left his cotton over on this side all winter?"
25960Why let him go?
25960Why not?
25960Why should n''t I?
25960Why should you?
25960Why, dear sir, what do you suppose we should live on in town? 25960 Why?"
25960Why?
25960With a hundred and sixty acres of cotton to irrigate and keep chopped out?
25960Wonder what the Mexicans are going to do with so many motor trucks?
25960Yes; do n''t you think it''s a good investment?
25960Yes?
25960Yes?
25960You are not joking, are you? 25960 You are?"
25960You do n''t happen to remember me?
25960You do n''t mean,Reedy swiped his left hand roughly at the wisp of hair on his forehead,"that he disregarded your wishes?"
25960You do n''t think I''d waste gasolene to come down here to talk about any other man, do you?
25960You got my notice, did n''t you? 25960 You know the way, do n''t you?
25960Your uncle is a little bull headed, is n''t he?
25960Afraid of a twenty- dollar hardware clerk?
25960After a moment-- the planter finished-- Bob asked casually:"Does Benson own the Red Butte Ranch?"
25960Ai n''t you the man that helped burn up the Imperial Valley?
25960And do they appreciate it?
25960As they crossed the line Noah Ezekiel inquired:"But if me and the Chinaman raise your cotton, what are you goin''to do?"
25960Barnett?"
25960Barnett?"
25960But I wonder who''s the lady?
25960But Noah Ezekiel ventured one more question:"You workin''for Reedy Jenkins?"
25960But how could it be prevented?
25960But what do we care?"
25960Crill paused, and then asked abruptly:"Know a man named Jenkins?"
25960Did n''t he approve of her?
25960Do n''t gamble, do you?"
25960Do n''t you feel it in your bones?
25960Do n''t you love the whole world and everybody?"
25960Do you know who that young man with the fiddle was who ruined your fortune?"
25960Do you suppose you would be able to use a couple of hundreds of it?"
25960Do you wish to take care of them now?
25960Have you a lease to sell?"
25960He must do something, but what?
25960He reached for the telephone and called the freight agent:"Are those motor trucks in yet?
25960How many of them have you seen?"
25960How much am I gettin''a month?"
25960I went round to a Chink that I''d never met but two or three times, and says,''John, I''m broke, will you lend me a hundred dollars?''
25960I wonder if I could sublease that Red Butte Ranch?"
25960I wonder who the other one was-- and what became of him?"
25960If he did not come tonight---- Maybe something had happened, maybe he had been shot by some of Jenkins''hired assassins?
25960If this was such a sure thing, why had not some of the more experienced cotton growers in the valley jumped at it?
25960Is n''t it awful?
25960It certainly looks like riches, does n''t it?"
25960Me pay all the expenses, including wages, for you; and then divide the profits?"
25960Not much like we used to farm back in the Ozarks, is it?"
25960Not really?"
25960Nothing?
25960Or shall I attach your cotton?"
25960Or would he shoot him first?
25960Reedy looked up from a letter and asked greedily:"Did you get it?"
25960Reedy took a plump yellow cigar from his vest pocket, and with a deferential bow:"Will you permit me?"
25960Rogeen?"
25960See?
25960The field is O. K.""How much will you need, Ah Sing?"
25960Then in a moment:"Who is the fellow?"
25960Then what were the dangers?
25960Think this valley is a good place to invest, do n''t you?"
25960Was n''t she interesting?
25960Was she authorized to do this?
25960Was the American going to bury him alive?
25960What are you doing this evening?
25960What is Dayton paying you?"
25960What is on your mind?"
25960What is the matter?"
25960What you want a month?"
25960Where is your balky tractor?"
25960Why did n''t he come oftener?
25960Why sweat over it?
25960Why was that?
25960Wo n''t you come up and have a chair?"
25960Wonder what his plans are?"
25960Would Señor Rogeen call again tomorrow?
25960Yes, she was pretty sure Rogeen liked her-- but how much?
25960Your dad not sick?"
25960[ Illustration:"Shut off the water?
25960have n''t I befriended them, and helped them fifty ways?
25960she spoke with sudden fierceness,"can you imagine anything more useless than teaching Sanskrit?
2281Ah-- always the same?
2281Ai n''t I? 2281 And Mag, dear, do n''t you think YOU were a little-- just a little-- hard on HIM?
2281And if he had won, excellent Hamlin, you would have given him the equal of his mare and horse?
2281And nothing will prevent you marrying Miss Brooks?
2281And that''s why you said so imploringly, just now,''Please do n''t go away yet''? 2281 And that?"
2281And the gambler who advanced the money to save Tappington?
2281And what do ye kalkilate all our property, letting alone this yer house, and the driftwood front, is worth all together?
2281And what if I refuse?
2281And what is to be done with my nephew?
2281And what, little one, didst thou find in me to admire?
2281And who''s your editor?
2281And who, then, is this unhappy one?
2281And why?
2281And you have done this?
2281And you wish to marry her?
2281And you would still marry her?
2281And-- and no woman was ever here-- at that door?
2281And-- what-- do-- you-- kalkilate-- to make by all that?
2281Are you crazy?
2281Are you expectin''Judge Martin, or the Expressman this evening?
2281Are you mad?
2281Are you sure?
2281Are you-- engaged to the young lady?
2281Are you-- well, Mr. Bly-- briefly, are you what is called''in love''with her?
2281At a MEETING?
2281But how?
2281But that necktie and that gown-- and all those frills and tuckers?
2281But what is his business or profession? 2281 But what was it all about?"
2281But what''s the row, Bill? 2281 Can you longer doubt that this is the wildest madness?"
2281Can you not understand that others may be proud too?
2281Did ye find it superposed on quartz, or did you find it NOT superposed on quartz? 2281 Did, did that Leftenant say so?"
2281Do you see those three men standing under that gaslight? 2281 Do?"
2281Even if it were a question of your remaining here?
2281Frighten me-- with what?
2281Have they no bull- fights or other seemly recreation that they must indulge in such wantonness?
2281His mother and sister know nothing of this?
2281How do you know I did n''t RUIN him?
2281I hope it was n''t in your way?
2281I suppose your brother taught you that too?
2281I wonder how many times a week I''d have to help the girl play the spiritual gooseberry downstairs before we could have any fun ourselves?
2281Includin''wot the Gov''nment owes us?--for that''s all ours, ye know?
2281Is there any hut or cabin hereabouts, Schmidt?
2281Is-- is-- my sister there?
2281It''s quite natural to have left it there ACCIDENTALLY-- isn''t it?
2281It? 2281 Jest the same ez if they were MY clothes,"said the girl, with a quick, fiery, little laugh,"ai n''t it?
2281May I ask, then,he said with almost sepulchral gravity,"is anybody taking care of you?"
2281May the blessed saints preserve us; where will it lead to?
2281Must you go? 2281 No?
2281Not the sodgers again?
2281Not what man?
2281Oh, it does?
2281Oh, then you HAVE talked about it?
2281Oh, your BROTHER says that, does he?
2281P''r''aps you do n''t read it? 2281 Perhaps you know only negro- minstrel songs?"
2281Robbed?
2281Robbed?
2281Say, Mag, what was that idea o''yours about selling some land, and taking a house at Logport?
2281Since when hev you tuk partnership with the Guv''nment and Kernel Preston to hunt up and take keer of their property?
2281So some d-- d hound gave him away-- eh?
2281So ye''ve bin craw- fishin''agin?
2281So you did n''t know Tappington, eh?
2281Suppose we take a turn around the hill and come back by the old street down the steps?
2281Tappington and you are-- friends?
2281Then I have the pleasure of addressing Miss Culpepper?
2281Then I''m afraid I should remain here a little longer, Miss Culpepper; but my duty--"Your wot?"
2281Then it was YOU that was doggin''us on the Marsh?
2281Then the sodgers were huntin''YOU?
2281Then there WAS one?
2281Then what did you come for?
2281Then you have quarrelled?
2281Then your brother does n''t approve of them?
2281Then,he added in a lower voice,"your mother no longer believes me so dreadfully culpable?"
2281Think of whom?
2281Was Lacy present?
2281Was it? 2281 Well, ef ye did n''t mean that, what did ye mean?"
2281Well,said Jenkinson, with a smile half anxious, half insinuating,"you saw him?
2281What did you desert fer?
2281What had he done to you?
2281What is Lacy Bassett?
2281What is he, anyway?
2281What right have you trapseing over our property?
2281What was it the Redwood Mill Kempany offered you for that piece near Dead Man''s Slough?
2281What would you hev done had you ketched him?
2281What''s the matter?
2281What''s this backen out o''what you said yesterday? 2281 What''s up, Lacy, old pard?
2281What? 2281 What?
2281What?
2281Where d''ye suppose I''D hev been all the while?
2281Where did you put it?
2281Where''s the rest of you?
2281Who are you?
2281Who is SHE? 2281 Who''s been prinkin'', eh?"
2281Who''s craw- fishin''?
2281Who?
2281Why did you let my brother believe you were his rival with Cicely Preston?
2281Why do n''t you ask my brother, and not a woman? 2281 Why do you ask, considerate friend?"
2281Why? 2281 Why?"
2281Will they come here?
2281Will you please let me have my music- stool?
2281Wot IS-- he?
2281Wot stuff are you tryin''to fool me with?
2281YOUR room?
2281Yes do n''t you see? 2281 Yes, what is he?"
2281Yes-- that is-- why, what are ye thinkin''of, Mag? 2281 Yes; and you thought it was SHE, did n''t you?
2281Yes; but, Jim dear, do you think it the best thing for-- for us to do?
2281You BELIEVE-- you do n''t KNOW?
2281You TRUST? 2281 You did-- well, perhaps THAT will tell you?
2281You have no distress? 2281 You have, or are about to have, neighbors?"
2281You mean it?
2281You mean to say you were expecting no one?
2281You told your mother THAT?
2281You trust not?
2281You''re wondering what my little game is, Johnny, ai n''t you? 2281 Your Polly, good Jenkinson?"
2281''Wot''s that?''
2281Admitting that Tappington had deceived them with the others, would they thank him for opening their eyes to it?
2281After a pause he added slyly,"''Pears to me SOMEBODY ELSE thought somebody else mighty purty-- eh?"
2281After a pause he continued, still more archly:"Do you like HIM, Mag?"
2281And I select the eddyter-- and"--he continued, with a return of the same uneasy wistful look--"thar''s suthin''in thet, you know, eh?"
2281And that means"--"What?"
2281And what did he get me to join the company for?
2281And what did she want?
2281And what''s the matter with thet?
2281And why that Gothic arch of front and a boy''s hat?
2281And you,"he said, suddenly facing Roberto,"why come you to tell me this?"
2281Are you sure you did n''t know that woman?"
2281As she still remained motionless, he continued cheerfully,"Would you-- would you-- care to look round and see?"
2281At the end of half an hour Jim rose, and, yawning slightly, said in a perfunctory way:"Where''s the book?"
2281Bly?"
2281But DID you notice mother?"
2281But what more can I say?
2281But where are these newspapers and the fantasies of publicita that fill his mind?
2281But why earrings and wet white stockings and slippers?
2281But why had she not waited?
2281Can I say more?
2281Can you give me the slightest idea how it came there?"
2281Captain Jim told me he met you the day you arrived; said you just cottoned to the''Guardian''at once and thought it a deal too good for Gilead; eh?
2281Could he believe his ears?
2281Could it have come from there?
2281Could it possibly be Cherry herself, guilty of the same innocent curiosity that had impelled her to buy the"Ham- fat Man"?
2281Could she have dreamed of the coming of this whipper- snapper, with his insufferable airs, after that beggarly deserter?
2281D''ye think I do n''t know this shebang?
2281Did I want to have anything to do with the Eureka Company?
2281Did n''t he set me up to give my opinion about that shaft just to show off what I knew about science and all that?
2281Did you find it in volcanic drift, or did ye find it in old red- sandstone or coarse illuvion?
2281Do n''t you remember what you used to say, Mag?"
2281Do n''t you see?
2281Do you like her?"
2281Do you think it might be true?"
2281Eh?
2281Fwhat did I desart fer?
2281Fwhot''s the use?
2281Good; for how much shall you value ALL you have in your bar?"
2281Had he really meant it seriously; and was he beginning to think too much about her?
2281Had she grown silly, or what had happened?
2281Had they been left there by some temporary visitor unknown to Tappington and his family, or had they been hastily hidden by a servant?
2281Have you had any quarrel lately?--run against any newspaper man?"
2281Have you quarrelled about Polly Baxter?"
2281He could only stammer,"Miss Brooks-- then it was YOU?"
2281He did n''t?
2281He had been with the soldiers-- and where?
2281I saw ye lookin''at Walker there, and I said to myself, Wot''s the use, Lacy, wot''s the use o''your slingin''them words to such as THEM?
2281If they had already a suspicion, would they care to know that it was shared by him?
2281In fact"--"You''re quite sure she has n''t forgotten anything?
2281Is it necessary for me to swear that since I have been here no woman has ever entered that door-- but"--"But who?"
2281Is that all?"
2281It was a misspelt scrawl, and ran as follows:--"Why are you so cruel?
2281Look here, Johnny, what are you putting on all this side for, eh?
2281Lots of''em thinks we''re poor and low down-- and them ez does n''t, thinks"--"What?"
2281Maggie looked up, and said passively,"Oh, THAT idea?"
2281No?
2281Now, I never said anything about this before-- did I?
2281Now, why do you not frankly give up Miss Baxter to Captain Jim, who will make her a good husband, and go your own way with Mrs. Sweeny?
2281Of the latter''s ignorance he had no doubt-- but had he any right to enlighten them?
2281Or should he say nothing about it at present, and trust to chance to discover the sacrilegious hider?
2281Ought he not at all hazards try to know her better?
2281Ought he not to take Miss Brooks in his confidence?
2281Perhaps you are distantly related?"
2281Pooty, ai n''t it?"
2281Presently he turned to Herbert and said:"Well, Johnny, what''s your name?"
2281She laid aside the gun, put her hands deep in the pockets of her pea- jacket, and, slightly squaring her shoulders, said curtly,"What do you want?"
2281She only describes them for another, do n''t you see?"
2281Should he ever know more of this quaint repressed side of her nature?
2281So I thought if you were coming straight home we might come together-- unless you have something else to do?"
2281Suppose my brother comes back and ketches you here?"
2281Take your own case down there at Eureka Gulch; did n''t he send for me just to show me up to you fellers?
2281Then it was supplemented by a female voice in a hurried whisper:"Open quick, ca n''t you?
2281Then she said-- to the fire:"Jim, do you think she''s pretty?"
2281Was Maggie really to be trusted?
2281Was he a double traitor, and now trying to deceive HER-- as he had him?
2281Was he really going mad, or had this last vision of his former youth been purposely vouchsafed him?
2281Was he to give up understanding girls-- or was it their sole vocation in life to impede masculine processes and shipwreck masculine conclusions?
2281Was it a fresh evidence of mental aberration-- an audacity of frenzy-- or a trick of the vaquero?
2281Was it apparently the trick of a mischievous child?
2281Was it for me?
2281Was it for you?
2281Was it possible that Captain Jim had always loved her?
2281Was it that stuckup Saint, Miss Brooks, that you were afraid of, my deer?
2281Was n''t it YOUR idea all along?"
2281Were you afraid?"
2281What DID she mean?
2281What are ye waitin''for?"
2281What do you think of him?"
2281What does he do?"
2281What does he mean by interfering?
2281What has happened?"
2281What should he say to Cherry-- to her mother-- to Mr. Carstone?
2281What was he doing here?
2281What was that?
2281What was to be done?
2281What''s all this trucklin''to the Fort now?"
2281What''s gone o''you?"
2281What''s that?"
2281What''s your little game?
2281What?
2281Where''s Tappington?"
2281Who knows?
2281Who were they?
2281Who''d hev thought it?
2281Why do you keep me dansing on the stepps before them gurls at the windows?
2281Why had she withdrawn it so abruptly; did she consider his jesting allusion to it indecorous and presuming?
2281Why was HE considered fair game for these girls?
2281Why?"
2281Wonder how they''d like my sayin''that to''em when they was prancin''round, eh, Jim?"
2281Wot do THEY know?
2281Wot''s this hogwash?
2281Would she ever come again?
2281Would she sing the"Ham- fat Man"for him?
2281Would the dimples come back if she did?
2281Would those shameless Pike County girls have dared to laugh at HIM?
2281Ye kan''t expect a high- toned man to write down to the level of every karpin''hound, ken ye now?
2281You dared say that?"
2281You do n''t resist THAT with a shotgun, do you?"
2281You now want-- what?
2281You want no succor, no relief, no protector?
2281You will be frank with me?"
2281You''ll come, wo n''t you?
2281and what sort of man would they naturally feel grateful to?
2281and what would n''t you have believed?
2281demanded the lady in almost stentorious accents,"or is this an unmanly hoax?"
2281eh?
2281getting rather too warm for him here?
2281is he crazy?
2281nothing queer?"
2281or that there is n''t anything you would like changed?"
2281said Carstone sternly;"YOU, an employee of the bank, would set the example of allying yourself with one who had robbed it?"
2281said the father, digging his heels into the comfortable flanks of his mule with some human impatience,"or art THOU, too, a lazy renegade?
2281she said, turning to Polly Jenkinson with the first indication of feminine weakness,"Is he telling the truth?
2281this yer lyin''slander about his gettin''things on the kempany''s credit?
2281what is that?"
2281what shall I do?"
2281you have-- of a possibility-- a wife?"
22270Ai n''t I waited all this time? 22270 And leave us no chance against Cochise?
22270Any moment?
22270Apache? 22270 Are n''t we pals?
22270Are n''t you going to say good night, Jack?
22270At once?
22270Brand- blotting?
22270Bronchos? 22270 But if we are to eat here?"
22270But the pain, dear?
22270Can you think I would leave you here?
22270Carmena, are you mad? 22270 Carmena-- what is it?
22270Dead?
22270Did n''t I say I''d take care of Dad?
22270Did n''t I tell you we''re pards? 22270 Did n''t you notice his men had their guns pointed at us across their laps?
22270Did n''t you promise to be a sister to me-- or something like that? 22270 Do n''t you understand, dear?
22270Do n''t you?
22270Do such poison wounds always improve?
22270Do you count Dad in the gang?
22270Does it-- does it hurt much, Jack?
22270Don''t-- don''t brothers ever kiss their sisters good night?
22270Engineer is all right, but can you shoot?
22270Ever see a Gila monster?
22270First to make Dad believe the brand- blotting was a part of his honest cattle business, and then----"What''s that?
22270Gain?--me?
22270Gitting het up, huh? 22270 Harm my daughter, would you?"
22270Have I your promise you will not try to get him into that death trap?
22270Have you-- what do you call it?--gone loco?
22270He does, does he?
22270How about Blossom?
22270How about Cochise getting out of hand? 22270 How about Slade?
22270How about it?
22270How about the chance of running into that murderous savage if we go this way?
22270How about the others?
22270How about the two below?
22270How about trying these in our mouths?
22270How about your safety? 22270 How could I?"
22270How else? 22270 How?"
22270Huh-- I sha''n''t, sha''n''t I?
22270I will, will I, huh?
22270Indians? 22270 Is an Indian following you?"
22270Is it not time you set to thinking yourself, Slade?
22270Is that necessary?
22270It''s my tizwin as much as Dad''s, ai n''t it? 22270 Jealous, are you?
22270Kill you? 22270 May I ask what you expect to gain by this, Slade?"
22270May I ask what you mean by shooting at me?
22270May I ask you to explain all this about a partnership?
22270May I ask you to show me the rest of this cliff house? 22270 Mine?"
22270Not what, but where?
22270Now that I look more like a matinee idol, just how much more do you like me?
22270Now, with regard to the lode, our next step will be----"What''d you say you was to git from your copper company?
22270Now, young man, what''s this bunk about you and Carmena being pards?
22270Off watch, huh? 22270 Oh, did I?
22270Oh, do you want me to be, really and truly? 22270 Only, by the way, what was the point of the joke?"
22270Pal?
22270Poison?
22270Pretty good piece of irrigation work for those old mummies, is n''t it? 22270 Promise you''ll never tell any one?"
22270Pulled his knife on me, did he?
22270Quiet-- huh? 22270 Really?"
22270Shall I drive them off again with my rifle?
22270Shooting at you-- shooting_ now_?
22270Should we not cut and run?
22270Smoke?
22270So early as this?
22270So that''s what you''re after, huh? 22270 So this Slade and the Indians are keeping all of you prisoners, here in the Hole, are they?
22270So this is why you saved the dynamite?
22270Sort of wilted a''ready, huh?
22270Suppose I make each think the other put the giant power in the furnace?
22270Take me-- away from Dead Hole? 22270 That child-- give her, to save that scoundrel?"
22270The Hole-- we''ll find help there?
22270The copper company pays me twice that and----"Copper, huh? 22270 Think you''ll four- flush, huh?
22270To help us?
22270Try to be funny with me, will you? 22270 Twenty thousand bonus for relocating the lode, and----""You can draw on''em for it?"
22270Twenty thousand?
22270Want to back out, do you?
22270Was he-- did he-- er-- brand- blot before Slade came?
22270Well, then, how if I use that blast to blow Slade and Cochise apart?
22270Well, what if I did git tanked up?
22270Well, what you going to do about it? 22270 Well, what you kicking up such a fuss about?"
22270Were n''t we friends before Slade came? 22270 What are you doing, Jack Lennon?"
22270What business you got in Dead Hole, anyhow? 22270 What could we do?
22270What else could you expect?
22270What if I did? 22270 What is it you plan to do?
22270What is it? 22270 What is it?
22270What is your plan?
22270What mine?
22270What the devil?
22270What then?
22270What you bucking about? 22270 What you going to do?
22270What''s the matter with you, too, keeping under cover?
22270What, farming in a place like this?
22270Where you hide my woman?
22270Where''d sonny boy git hit? 22270 Which side do we head?"
22270Which will you have?
22270Who''s the liar now, Cochise?
22270Who''s there?
22270Why not persuade your father to slip out of the Hole with us-- start immediately? 22270 Why not return his compliments?"
22270Why not? 22270 Why not?"
22270Why split the twenty with a dam''Apache? 22270 Why?
22270Will it not be dangerous-- I mean, to anger that man Slade, you know?
22270Wireless? 22270 Wo n''t you be proving you are his friend?"
22270Would you be so kind as to bring me my rifle, Elsie?
22270Yes?
22270You apologize?
22270You damn sure Cochise him no kill me? 22270 You have run off the devils?
22270You mean he deceived your father? 22270 You mean he''s your man-- tips you off-- all that?"
22270You mean they deal in cattle?
22270You mean, why did she do it?
22270You say that when they----?
22270You say those red devils are all down there?
22270You see now?
22270You''ll attack?
22270You''re sure the boiler will be blown up?
22270You-- you love me? 22270 You-- you wo n''t let Slade take me either, will you?
22270You-- you wo n''t side with Cochise? 22270 You?"
22270Your revolver was n''t in your pocket? 22270 Your wife?
22270''Most ready to feed me, huh?
22270Ai n''t plunked bad, is he?"
22270And Mena-- she''ll go along too and help take care of me and love us?
22270And after the fight?"
22270And was all the brown of her skin on the outside?
22270Any lie about that?"
22270Are you going to let him do it?
22270But a girl like you----""Like me?
22270But the others may as well be starting, do n''t you think?"
22270But the stock here in the Hole, what if the sheriff wants to investigate?"
22270But what if he does bring the punchers?
22270But why, then, did she help me run away?"
22270Ca n''t I josh the gal without you gitting rattlesnakey?
22270Ca n''t you see we must make believe-- must keep up with him until we are rid of the Apaches?
22270Ca n''t you see?
22270Ca n''t you take a joke?
22270Can you mount again?"
22270Can you wonder I think he''s a man for us to tie to?"
22270Dad wo n''t mind if we show Jack the mummies, will he, Mena?"
22270Did Slade''s Navahos share in the stock stealing?"
22270Did you fall against the table?
22270Did you not advertise?
22270Do n''t figger I want_ you_ any more, do you?"
22270Do n''t suppose I meant it, do you?
22270Do n''t want to hold me back, do you?"
22270Do n''t you know me?"
22270Do n''t you see you''ve got to keep on playing the game our way?
22270Do you know why a Gila monster flops on his back when he bites?
22270Do you promise?
22270Do you want Slade to have her?
22270Do you wonder he wo n''t have them in on this lost- lode deal?
22270Even supposing I was going to plant you, I''d wait, would n''t I, huh?"
22270Girls safe?"
22270Good work?"
22270Guess you''ll agree now to git started on that report, huh?"
22270Had n''t you better catch the first train East, and keep going?"
22270Had not Carmena''s intention been to have her savage accomplices capture him and hold him for ransom?
22270Has no inquiry ever been made for her?
22270Have n''t you any sense any more, Cochise?
22270Have you forgotten how Dad had to get you loose?
22270Hear me?
22270Hike back to the railroad?"
22270How about it?
22270How about now?
22270How about that hole in your hat?
22270How about this pard bunk?
22270How could the Apaches hope to scale the sheer cliff without aid from above?
22270How do I know I can count on you not knifing me?"
22270How you feeling?
22270How''ll you like being let down to Cochise, huh?"
22270How''s that, Lennon?"
22270How''s your arm feeling?"
22270Huh, Cochise?"
22270I---- But Jack''s head-- If you hogtie him----""Got to be kept quiet, ai n''t he?
22270Is it-- is it''cause what I told about Mena?
22270Is n''t it good that you love her?"
22270Is n''t it, just?"
22270Is that clear?"
22270Is that satisfactory?"
22270Is that what you call smoke signalling?"
22270Keep me waiting, will they?
22270Lennon stared, openly incredulous:"Forty miles?"
22270Marry her?
22270Mebbe you wo n''t agree to be reasonable then, huh?"
22270Might not what he had taken for high spirit and courage be no more than callous hardihood?
22270Not paralyzed are you?
22270Now, is it fight, or do you back up?"
22270Oh, Mr. Slade, what happened?
22270Oh, wo n''t you-- won''t you please take me instead?"
22270On this point was it not probable that Elsie was mistaken?
22270Only you''re sure now this here lode ai n''t no blind, are you?
22270Or are the other rooms in ruins?"
22270Or might he not fall into a rage and destroy his victim as he had killed the pony?
22270Or was it a fit?
22270Promise you wo n''t say a word to Dad about the money-- or the mine?"
22270Quite a warm run, was n''t it?"
22270Ready for the frying pan?"
22270Remember how we kept you hid in the Hole and never told the Indian Agent?
22270Sabe?
22270Sabe?
22270Sabe?
22270Sabe?"
22270Sabe?"
22270Sabe?"
22270Sabe?"
22270Sabe?"
22270See that hole?
22270Sighted another Apache?"
22270Slade?"
22270So near as that?
22270Surely you ca n''t intend----""Why not?"
22270Then I''ll belong to you-- I''ll be your woman?"
22270They''d be sure we did it, and I figure---- Can you fix it so it will go off a quarter minute after the fire is lighted?"
22270Think you can bribe me, do you?
22270Thought you''d rush me, did you?"
22270Try lifting your arms and legs?"
22270Want me to tell that to Slade?"
22270Want to come along?"
22270Want to hear Mena give it to Cochise?"
22270Was it possible that the girl had acted as a decoy to lure him into this ill- omened Dead Hole?
22270Was she not, in part, of Mexican blood?
22270Was there not a certain garishness about her rich colouring?
22270We''re pards, ai n''t we?
22270Were n''t we good to you?
22270What are you aiming to do?"
22270What concern could the fate of Carmena be to him?
22270What do you figure on doing now, with your burro dead?
22270What does it matter if we are tortured?
22270What has happened?
22270What if there are Indian watchers on those ridges?
22270What interest could he have in the young girl other than to help her escape from the savage Cochise?
22270What of it?
22270What were her clothes like?"
22270What were you heading up this way for, anyhow?
22270What you doing?"
22270What you hanging fire for, Pete?"
22270What''ll he want him for?
22270What''s a copper company got to do with a gold lode?"
22270What''s the difference?
22270What?"
22270Where is Carmena?"
22270Why did n''t you speak up sooner?
22270Why had not the girl met him face to face on the trail and frankly asked for his aid?
22270Why had she not galloped to the nearest station and led a sheriff''s posse to free her father and sister?
22270Why has n''t she taken you and your Dad?"
22270Why not keep your bargain and earn your half of the bonus without this risk of losing all?"
22270Why not sit down with me and celebrate our escape?"
22270Why not yield at once and save all the torture?
22270Why ruin a twelve- dollar sombrero and a ten- dollar burro?"
22270Wo n''t she?
22270Wo n''t we, Cochise?"
22270Wo n''t you call me Carmena?"
22270Wo n''t you help me get her safe away from here?"
22270Would he wait for it, as in the case of the cowman whom Elsie had told about?
22270Would it not be best for me to hold their attention by going straight up the open valley, while you take the horse around through the cedars?"
22270Would n''t you have a better chance if mounted?"
22270You ai n''t got that gold mine, too, hiding out hereabouts?"
22270You called it Dead Hole, did n''t you?"
22270You do n''t suppose I''m going back on my pard, do you?"
22270You heard how he fooled Cochise-- made him feel good by promising him me and Jack?"
22270You heard me bluff off Cochise with the partnership talk?"
22270You mean that?"
22270You mean wild horses-- mustangs?"
22270You no lie?"
22270You promised to wait----""Wait?"
22270You said you can shoot?"
22270You saw the smoke?"
22270You say he claims her?"
22270You see how it was, do n''t you?"
22270You see now why I thought you''d be glad to have me bring Jack in as a partner?"
22270You see why I could n''t go for the sheriff?"
22270You wo n''t let him take me?"
22270You''re sure you did n''t miss him, Jack?"
22270you?"
22270your sister-- that little pink and white blossom?"
14520After this, if a fellow should kiss you, it would be a crime, would n''t it?
14520Ai n''t you?
14520Alone?
14520Am I keeping you here, seh? 14520 Am I not-- courteous?"
14520Am I scattering gloom?
14520Am I trying to lay it on you?
14520Am I your prisoner, Miss Sanderson?
14520Am I?
14520And Phil? 14520 And Phil?"
14520And he was here, was he? 14520 And he was n''t alone?"
14520And him-- do you love him? 14520 And if I ca n''t help it?"
14520And if he wo n''t?
14520And if they had caught me, you think they would have killed me?
14520And let you do murder?
14520And my sister?
14520And say nothing about-- what has happened?
14520And the second time?
14520And then?
14520And what about the man who saves her life?
14520And what about their hawsses? 14520 And what do you think of a man game enough to take the same chance to save a girl who was not even a friend?"
14520And what happened?
14520And what were you thinking of doing with me now, ma''am?
14520And when are you expecting to get out of here?
14520And you came back without rescuing him?
14520And you do n''t think you see much then?
14520And you guarantee he''ll keep his mouth padlocked and not betray me?
14520And you think?
14520And you''re not a kid now?
14520And you, Brill?
14520Any mail for Buck Weaver?
14520Any mail for Larrabie Keller?
14520Any one else with him?
14520Anybody else?
14520Anybody hurt?
14520Anything more?
14520Are n''t you?
14520Are you a rustler, too?
14520Are you going to let me go back to my school?
14520Are you just_ saying_ that, Jim, or do you really think so?
14520Are you looking for a job, Brill?
14520Are you lying to me, girl?
14520Are you ready?
14520Are you truly?
14520Armed, Phil?
14520Badly?
14520Been here long? 14520 Brought you home?"
14520But if I do n''t want to tell?
14520But if I promise to be one?
14520But tell me-- what does it mean?
14520But what about poor Jesus, lying out there alone?
14520But what am I to do here?
14520But what are you going to do with her? 14520 But when it comes to knowing him, what do you know about him-- or about me, say?
14520But why-- if I may ask?
14520But you do n''t have to show me, too, do you?
14520But, my dear, why not-- since it''s for his good?
14520But-- how?
14520But-- what are they going to do with you?
14520But-- why?
14520By the way, is your friend in the lockup?
14520Can you ride?
14520Cared for you? 14520 Come right to your door, do they?"
14520Could n''t be overlooking any, could you?
14520Could n''t you make that first sometimes always, do n''t you reckon, Phyllis?
14520Damn you, what do you mean? 14520 Dead sure of that?"
14520Did I say she paid it in money?
14520Did I? 14520 Did Yeager tell you that?"
14520Did he kill the cow?
14520Did he tell you that Phil was the rustler?
14520Did n''t I tell you to clean Miss Phyl''s trap? 14520 Did n''t I tell you to take the colts down to the long pasture?"
14520Did n''t happen to meet a soul all day maybe?
14520Did n''t you ask me to let him off?
14520Did n''t you say he came this morning, Jim?
14520Did n''t? 14520 Did you bring me here to tell me that durn foolishness?"
14520Did you come after your handkerchief, ma''am? 14520 Did you hear what I said?"
14520Did-- did he get away?
14520Do I hate you?
14520Do I understand that Keller has made his getaway?
14520Do n''t see me, do you?
14520Do n''t you figure it''s up to you, if we let you out of this thing, to whack up any information you''ve got? 14520 Do n''t you see I ca n''t?"
14520Do n''t you see, Jim? 14520 Do n''t you see?
14520Do you have to go down?
14520Do you have to report him and have him prosecuted?
14520Do you hear me? 14520 Do you mean that Brill isn''t-- what we''ve always thought him?"
14520Do you mean that everything''s all off between us?
14520Do you mean with your band of thugs?
14520Do you suppose I''m such a fool as not to know that the way to take it out on you is to take it out of him?
14520Do you think anything could have happened, Jim?
14520Do you think it is rustlers? 14520 Do you want me to be under obligations to folks that hate me?"
14520Do you want to go home?
14520Does it hurt pretty bad, girl?
14520Does n''t the Bible say that he who takes the sword shall perish by the sword? 14520 Does that matter to you, sir?"
14520Does the cellar stairway from the store connect with the kitchen cellar, Phyllie?
14520Even if it were a wolf caught in a trap?
14520Ever since when, Tom?
14520Every day?
14520Expecting to stay long with him?
14520For you- all?
14520Give that message to your friends?
14520Got rid of your kiddies, Phyl?
14520Had n''t he?
14520Had n''t we better talk of something else? 14520 Has it got to be this way always, Phyllie-- you giving and me taking?"
14520Have n''t I told you I''m sorry?
14520Have to get my horse, do n''t I?
14520Have you had everything you wish?
14520Have you killed him?
14520He murdered poor Jesus Menendez, did n''t he?
14520Headed for Mesa? 14520 Here you,''Rastus, where you been?"
14520How about him? 14520 How about that?
14520How could he have robbed the bank when he was seen fifty miles from there not two hours afterward?
14520How dare you talk that way to me?
14520How did you hear we were rounding- up to- day?
14520How do you know there''s another side?
14520How do you know?
14520How do you know?
14520How do you know?
14520How long ago was it, Brill?
14520How long ago was this?
14520How long has he been gone?
14520How long have you known?
14520How long you been here?
14520How many pals had you in this rustling?
14520How old are you?
14520How old?
14520How under heaven did you get here?
14520How will he take her?
14520How would a good chapping do, to start with? 14520 How would you know it?
14520How''re they coming?
14520How''s the boy?
14520How''s yore five- thousand- dollar beauty, Brad?
14520How''s your dear patient, Phyl?
14520I ai n''t said anything, have I?
14520I did n''t tell you that I wanted you to murder him, did I?
14520I do n''t expect you''re armed, Phil?
14520I mean, are you too much hurt to ride? 14520 I ought to wrap it up pretty, ought n''t I?
14520I wonder why you are so fond of me?
14520I''M A RUSTLER AND A THIEF, AM I?
14520I''m a rustler and a thief, am I?
14520I''ve got as much right to love you as any one else, have n''t I? 14520 If I go, will you stay with me and talk?"
14520If I prove to you that I''m not a rustler, will you padlock your tongue and help me clear young Sanderson?
14520If they are for my supper, we''ll have to ask him to ride home with us-- won''t we, Jimmie? 14520 If they are n''t, who is?"
14520If you''re homesteading, where''s your place?
14520In my room? 14520 In saving him from being lynched by you?"
14520In what way? 14520 Is Brill still here?"
14520Is he-- is he going to die?
14520Is it likely I would want to stay here?
14520Is it you, Phyl?
14520Is it your business to help them to escape?
14520Is it?
14520Is it?
14520Is there-- someone else, Phyl?
14520Is this road still travelled, Jim?
14520It ai n''t Brill then?
14520It has a good deal to fight against, has n''t it?
14520It was Phil Sanderson''s hat?
14520It''s Phil, is n''t it?
14520It''s you that has got the drop on me, is n''t it?
14520Jealous?
14520Jim Yeager is your friend?
14520Jimmie, what do you think of a girl game enough to take so big a chance to save a friend? 14520 Like one of them suffragettes?"
14520Like to bet on which of us is a true prophet?
14520Like to see your sister before you go?
14520Look out for me in a locked room?
14520Mad at me, Phyl?
14520Made up your mind, have you?
14520Me? 14520 Meaning that I''m always in a rage when I leave you?"
14520Meaning?
14520Meaning?
14520Meaning?
14520Meet up with anybody in the valley before you came in?
14520Mighty unfortunate-- ain''t it, boys? 14520 My friend, who elected you guardeen to Buck Weaver?"
14520Name?
14520No; what of it?
14520Not ever?
14520Not right how?
14520Not worth hating, I suppose?
14520Notice that leading hawss on the nigh side, Slim?
14520Notice the color of his horse?
14520Now, what is it you have done?
14520Oh, I get my hardware back, do I?
14520Oh, do n''t you see? 14520 Oh, he gave you the slip, did he?"
14520Phyllis?
14520Press of business on to- day?
14520Quite a Sherlock Holmes, ai n''t you?
14520Quite sure?
14520Red Hughes?
14520Riding a roan, was n''t he?
14520Riding in Antelope Valley?
14520Right sure of that, are you? 14520 Saw whom?
14520Shall I send word to the boys to start on the round- up?
14520Slept with Anna, did you?
14520So that''s the story you''re telling, eh? 14520 So you bought my freedom for me, did you?"
14520So you freed him--_and took him to your room?_She had never heard her father speak in such a voice, so full at once of anger and incredulous horror.
14520So you just rode into the cañon, did you?
14520So you teach the kids their A B C''s, do you? 14520 So you think you saw somebody in my room?"
14520So you tied up his wound?
14520So you wo n''t be friends?
14520So you''re here, are you?
14520So?
14520Strikes through Del Oro Cañon, does n''t it, right after it leaves Noches?
14520Suppose I did rustle one of Buck Weaver''s calves-- mind, I do n''t say I did-- but say I did? 14520 Suppose the dog were a sheep- killer?"
14520Sure of that?
14520Sure?
14520That so? 14520 That you, Tom?
14520The which?
14520Then who is that with you there?
14520Then-- why did you let him go so easily?
14520Till_ you_ told him?
14520Want to come in, gentlemen?
14520Want to see me, do you?
14520Was Phil Sanderson drunk?
14520Was Tom Dixon mean to you, teacher?
14520Was n''t she? 14520 We''ll have to drive the calf back, wo n''t we?"
14520Well, Jim?
14520Well, then?
14520Well?
14520Well?
14520Well?
14520Were you ever tired in your life?
14520What about Brill''s story that he saw them at the Pass?
14520What about Brill?
14520What about sheep?
14520What about?
14520What are you doing here, Buck Weaver?
14520What are you doing?
14520What are you going to do to him?
14520What are you going to do with her?
14520What are you going to do with him?
14520What are you letting me go for? 14520 What are your conditions?"
14520What brand was he putting on the calf? 14520 What can I do for you, George Washington Abraham Lincoln Randolph?"
14520What devilment you been leading paw into, Brill?
14520What did I tell Yeager? 14520 What did you find out?"
14520What difference does that make, anyhow? 14520 What do you mean by it?
14520What do you mean? 14520 What do you mean?"
14520What do you mean?
14520What do you mean?
14520What do you mean?
14520What do you mean?
14520What do you think of that, Brill?
14520What do you think?
14520What do you want to know?
14520What do you want with it?
14520What do you want?
14520What does he care about an alibi? 14520 What does he pretend his business is?"
14520What doing here?
14520What else do you call it? 14520 What for?"
14520What friend did you say, Miss Sanderson?
14520What friend?
14520What has that got to do with it? 14520 What have you got to tell me, gyurl?
14520What in Heaven''s name brought you back after you had once got away?
14520What in tarnation got in dat nigger child?
14520What in the world is the matter?
14520What is it, Phyllie? 14520 What is it?"
14520What is it?
14520What makes him think so?
14520What makes you think so? 14520 What man?"
14520What might happen-- another family impulse?
14520What other motive are you thinking of, Jim?
14520What sort of a chance would you like to give him?
14520What time did this nester get here, Jim?
14520What use would you be without a rifle? 14520 What was your price?"
14520What way? 14520 What were you doing there?"
14520What would you suggest, Miss Phyllis?
14520What you doin''here, Gawge Washington? 14520 What''s ailing you, Pesky?
14520What''s eating you, Keller? 14520 What''s got into you?"
14520What''s he look like?
14520What''s that you say?
14520What''s that? 14520 What''s the matter with hanging?"
14520What''s the matter with having a talk with Phil? 14520 What''s the matter with proving it now?
14520What''s the matter with you taking your own advice, Keller?
14520What''s the matter with you?
14520What''s the matter? 14520 What''s the name of this new nester, Jim?"
14520What''s the row, Tom?
14520What''s the use of talking that way, Phyl?
14520What''s the use of you trying to get away with that kind of talk, Jim? 14520 What''s this I hear about another settler up on Bear Creek?"
14520What''s up, Jim?
14520What''s your sweat?
14520What, then? 14520 What-- what did you do?"
14520What-- what do you want?
14520What-- what is it?
14520What-- what''s that?
14520What_ could_ have happened, Phyllie? 14520 When did you- all patch up the partnership?"
14520When? 14520 Where am I?"
14520Where are you going?
14520Where are you?
14520Where can I hide you? 14520 Where did you buy them?"
14520Where did you get it?
14520Where is he? 14520 Where is it, Duke?
14520Where were you going now?
14520Where you going, Brill?
14520Where''s Healy?
14520Where?
14520Who do you mean?
14520Who does, then? 14520 Who is he?
14520Who is he?
14520Who is he?
14520Who is it?
14520Who is it?
14520Who is it?
14520Who is that?
14520Who says I ca n''t shoot?
14520Who says he had Phyl''s knife?
14520Who says it, Phil?
14520Who told you that?
14520Who told you?
14520Who told you?
14520Who was he trailin''with?
14520Who''ll tell him?
14520Who''s that with Curly?
14520Who? 14520 Why are you saving me, girl?"
14520Why did I do it? 14520 Why did n''t he tell us so himself, then?"
14520Why did n''t you send for me?
14520Why did n''t you tell?
14520Why did you save him? 14520 Why did you tell him?"
14520Why do n''t you go?
14520Why do you talk so? 14520 Why for do n''t I ever have the luck to be shot up?"
14520Why have you saved me after you betrayed me?
14520Why not serve warning on him by Tom? 14520 Why not?
14520Why not? 14520 Why not?"
14520Why not?
14520Why not?
14520Why should we?
14520Why should you count? 14520 Will she keep it quiet?"
14520Will you ask Yeager?
14520Will you ask it again, please? 14520 With yore friend the rustler?"
14520With you? 14520 Would a brave man break the pride of a high- spirited boy for such a mean motive?"
14520Would n''t you?
14520Would that gratify you?
14520Would you believe me if I said I was n''t?
14520Yes?
14520Yesterday, you say, at four o''clock?
14520You ai n''t expecting to tell the boys about me shooting Buck, are you?
14520You are holding me here a prisoner, then?
14520You are none of you hurt, Brill?
14520You are not going to make me tell you why I ca n''t go with you, are you?
14520You did n''t turn the hat over to the sheriff?
14520You going, Slim?
14520You know a lot about girls, do n''t you?
14520You mean Red Hughes?
14520You mean about us being friends?
14520You mean did Keller tell me?
14520You mean you''ll not stand in the way, if I want to keep them?
14520You mean you''re going to shoot him down in cold blood?
14520You were here looking for me?
14520You''ll be careful, wo n''t you, Phil?
14520You''ll not go far away, will you? 14520 You''re insured, I reckon?"
14520You''re there, are you? 14520 You-- what?"
14520You_ will_ be careful, wo n''t you?
14520Your brother?
14520_ Buenos dios, senorita._ Are you going for to shoot my head off?
14520_ You_ serve notice, do you?
14520A sniveling voice behind them broke in:"Where is Mr. Phil?
14520About the knife, you mean?"
14520Ai n''t I done tole you sebenty times seben to keep outa my kitchen at dis time o''day?"
14520Ai n''t he aiming to do the same by your folks, Phyl?"
14520Ai n''t he just got through being your guest?
14520Ai n''t that a good notion, Miss Going- On- Eighteen?"
14520Ai n''t that it?"
14520Ai n''t that it?"
14520Ai n''t that thorough enough for you?"
14520Am I too old and too hard and tough for you, little girl?"
14520And how shall I pay?"
14520And later-- as the hours passed without bringing him-- could anything have happened to him?
14520And when Phil and I came asking questions did n''t you antedate his arrival about six hours?
14520And when the cow is dead what does it mean?"
14520Any objections?"
14520Any reward?"
14520Anybody go up in last ten minutes?"
14520Are n''t you treated well?"
14520Are you a god, that you should kill when you please and expect to escape the law that has been written?"
14520Are you afraid?"
14520Are you alone?"
14520Are you for Brill Healy or are you for me?"
14520Are you mad?
14520Are you stark mad?"
14520Are you tied?"
14520Are you?"
14520As much right as that durned waddy, Keller?"
14520At that she flamed out passionately:"Do you want me to tell you that I_ like_ you, knowing what you are?
14520Because you love him?"
14520But how could he be aware of what was happening fifty miles away?
14520But how?
14520But who told you I was a bad loser?
14520But"Stand how?"
14520By murdering my father?"
14520CHAPTER IV"I''M A RUSTLER AND A THIEF, AM I?"
14520Ca n''t blame him, can you?
14520Ca n''t you forgive a fellow for making a mistake?"
14520Ca n''t you sleep, Phyl?"
14520Can I do anything for you, old fellow?"
14520Can we make it?"
14520Can you follow me if I lead the way?"
14520Could he have missed the way by any chance?
14520Could n''t you go ahead on those times you do, honey?"
14520Could you care for me?
14520Deserves a Carnegie medal, do n''t you reckon?"
14520Did I scare you off the trail, Jim?"
14520Did he tell you?"
14520Did n''t he bust my father up in business?
14520Did n''t he come visiting you in a hurry?
14520Did n''t you boys recognize him?"
14520Did n''t you tie up his wound?
14520Did they bring the bronchs in the car, too?"
14520Did you ever hear my side of the story?"
14520Did you forget to return it?"
14520Did you happen to see the fellow at all?"
14520Do n''t that prove the outside of a hawss is good for the inside of a man, like the docs say?"
14520Do n''t you reckon?"
14520Do n''t you reckon?"
14520Do n''t you see he was sorry?
14520Do n''t you see-- can''t you see----Oh, why are you so cruel to me?"
14520Do n''t you want to hold me while you investigate it?"
14520Do you happen to know right when you met Brill the day of the robbery?"
14520Do you happen to know the name of the thief?"
14520Do you reckon he fell off his hawss, and him a full- size man?"
14520Do you think I''ve lived with you eighteen years for nothing?
14520Do you think you can try it now?"
14520Do you want me to pretend that I feel friendly when I hate you?"
14520Do you?"
14520Ever meet Mr. Keller before?"
14520Had he lent his knife to some one?"
14520Have I got to explain to you why I do or do n''t ride a certain horse, seh?"
14520Have you forgotten what happened in the kitchen that night you helped me to escape?"
14520Have you gone plumb crazy?
14520He lowered his voice and asked angrily:"What''s_ he_ doing here?"
14520He ran up to the room where the girls were dressing, and called to them:"Are you ready?"
14520He touched his wounded arm as he went on:"If you do n''t hate me, why this compliment to me?
14520He, too, fired blandly the inevitable:"What''s the trouble?"
14520Healy?"
14520Homesteading up there, I presume?"
14520How about hitting the trail while travelling is good, seh?"
14520How about it, Miss Sanderson?"
14520How about it?
14520How about that boy you shot up?
14520How about that charge of rustling against me, Mr. Weaver?
14520How about that?
14520How about you, Jim?"
14520How am I to get you back to your room?"
14520How can I ever pay you for it?"
14520How come you to let him do it?"
14520How could he?"
14520How could there be?
14520How did you come here?"
14520How did you make out to do that?"
14520How do I know how long it will be before I can gather the boys together or find Jim and his outfit?
14520How do you know he did n''t?"
14520How do you know it was by mistake?"
14520How long has this been going on?"
14520How many scholars have you?"
14520How many?"
14520How''s that, Phyllie?"
14520I ca n''t explain, but----""Ca n''t decide between me and another man?"
14520I reckon you''ll be willing to surrender on guarantee of a square deal?"
14520If you''re not the man, where is he?"
14520Is he hurt?"
14520Is it because I shot Weaver?"
14520Is it that way with you?"
14520Is n''t that about it?"
14520Is n''t that right?"
14520Is n''t that the worst ever?"
14520Is that what you mean?"
14520Is the safe open?"
14520Is this little vendetta to be settled with revolvers, or rifles?"
14520It''s me you''ve lost?
14520It''s my own gun, ai n''t it?
14520Just when does my time come?"
14520Keller?"
14520Keller?"
14520Keller?"
14520Keller?"
14520Last time you were down there, were n''t you the guest of some willing lads who were arranging a little party for you?"
14520Looking for a job?"
14520Lost something up this gulch, have you?"
14520Mean to say I''m a murderer?"
14520Might a man ask who?"
14520Miss Sanderson, will you kindly unbuckle that belt and round up the weapons of war?
14520Must we thrash it out?"
14520Now he murmured a question:"What about this man Keller?
14520Now, I wonder who that useful friend was and how in time he got in here?"
14520Now, how did it come there?
14520Now, what do you do?"
14520Now, why?"
14520Or should he keep his own counsel?
14520Phil, or was it Father?"
14520Plumb dissatisfied with me, ai n''t you?
14520Point is, what did they do to him?"
14520Point is, why did he lie at all?"
14520Presently she said:"Do you think they will leave the country?"
14520Purdy?"
14520Ready, Phyl?"
14520See that cleft over there?
14520See that little wash?
14520Shall I call Josephine?"
14520Shall I tell you why it was?
14520She looked up, shuddering, and asked,"Where?"
14520She went on, after a momentary hesitation:"Are you quite sure, Jim, that he really found the knife there?"
14520Since, when, Phil?"
14520Surely not have her imprisoned for attacking you?"
14520Than:"Do you really-- love me?"
14520That you, Brill?"
14520That you, Tom?
14520Then I did hit him?"
14520Then he added, almost carelessly:"I expect there would n''t be any use mentioning the law to you?
14520Then, with a flash of angry eyes at him,"How would you like it if your friends rounded on you?
14520They measured the distance, and Sanderson called:"Are you ready?"
14520Think I ca n''t see how you''re running after him, and making a fool of yourself about him?"
14520Think I do n''t_ sabe_ your game?"
14520Think I''m a coyote to round on him?
14520Think I''m blind?
14520Think she got time to fool away on a nigger sprout like you- all?
14520To him Keller put the question in his mind:"How far is the Mimbres Pass from here, and in what direction?"
14520Understand, boys?"
14520Understand?"
14520Understand?"
14520Understand?"
14520Was he here when you came, Phyl?"
14520Was it best to confess the whole truth?
14520We''ll let him have the whole road to himself, eh, Keno?"
14520What about it?
14520What about you?
14520What are you doing here?
14520What are you doing here?"
14520What can I do for you?"
14520What could she do?
14520What do you know about him?"
14520What do you think has become of it?"
14520What had he meant?
14520What harm does it do you to stay here a while?"
14520What have you got against him?"
14520What have you to complain of?
14520What if we catch him in the gather, and find him wearing the bad- man brand?"
14520What is it all about, Miss Sanderson?"
14520What is it?
14520What is it?"
14520What makes you so sure they will?"
14520What of it?
14520What room, Phyl?"
14520What think, Brill?
14520What use?
14520What was she but an untaught, country schoolgirl?
14520What were you doing there?"
14520What will you do with her?"
14520What woman would n''t be?
14520What would he be doing there?
14520What''s a little rustling and a little bank robbing among friends?"
14520What''s all the row about?"
14520What''s become of him?"
14520What''s doing in the hills these yere pleasant days?"
14520What''s the matter with me going on instead of you?
14520What''s the use of trying?"
14520What''s the use of you trying to lay it on me and Brill?"
14520When I say anything against the rustler, do you mean?
14520When do you remember seeing it last, ma''am?"
14520When is he coming?"
14520When these four things meet up together, what does it mean?"
14520Where from?"
14520Which shall it be?"
14520Who are you, Brill Healy?"
14520Who knows?"
14520Who made you the judge over my actions?
14520Who paid it?"
14520Who was it?"
14520Who were you shooting at?"
14520Who will ride with me to rescue him?"
14520Who''s that?"
14520Why are you so serious?"
14520Why did n''t you stay where we left you?"
14520Why do n''t you go?"
14520Why do n''t you respect me?
14520Why not shove this thing right home to him?"
14520Why should I go with you?"
14520Why should I throw down my friends to save a rustler caught in the act?"
14520Why should it?"
14520Why should n''t they?"
14520Why should you undermine my reputation with such an assertion?
14520Why then should I for yours, and you a rustler and a thief?"
14520Why was he late?
14520Why will you do such things-- you and them?"
14520Why-- how did you know it was hers?"
14520Why?"
14520Why?"
14520Why?"
14520Why?"
14520Whyfor should I want to shoot you?"
14520Whyfor should a man round on his friend?"
14520Whyfor would it be a miracle if you did again?"
14520Will you?"
14520Wo n''t you wait and-- forget it till-- say, till next week?"
14520Wonder where that smoke comes from?"
14520Would a coward do this, and defy your whole crew to its revenge?"
14520Would n''t mind my taking a look at that gun of yours?
14520Would you expect me to turn her loose, and thank her right politely for it?
14520Would you mind handing me a dipper of water?
14520Would you take me for a scholar, Miss Going- On- Eighteen?"
14520Yeager broke in abruptly:"What have you got up your sleeve, Brill?
14520You ai n''t got any proof, have you?"
14520You ai n''t kicking because I played out the game the way you- all started to play it?
14520You are at the bottom of it all; and when I saw you riding there, looking like the lord of all the earth, I just----""Well?"
14520You do n''t reckon, Jim, he''s turned a trick on Keller, do you?"
14520You mean to drop down the hill and cut him off?"
14520You said he was afire when he got you into the open, did n''t you, Phil?"
14520You would stand between her and trouble?"
14520You''ll let me, wo n''t you?
14520You''re not going to murder him, are you?"
10601''Are you happy, dear?'' 10601 ''Been a long time in the wilds, youngster, eh?''
10601''Is that a threat?'' 10601 ''Look here,''he says,''why do n''t you dance with one girl instead of hogging them all?''
10601''Look here,''says he,''is this the way it works?'' 10601 ''Why do you stay if you wo n''t dance?''
10601A gent like that who do n''t know the country ai n''t much use on the trail, eh?
10601A grudge?
10601About her? 10601 About you and Sinclair,"went on the sheriff,"there ai n''t much good feeling between you, eh?"
10601After you cut out Quade, he got ugly, did n''t he?
10601Ah?
10601Ai n''t I made myself clear? 10601 Ai n''t it true?"
10601Ai n''t we going to bring him water?
10601Ai n''t you got no imagination whatever?
10601Ai n''t you heard''em talking?
10601Ai n''t you no more worried than that?
10601Am I wrong?
10601And are we getting along, Jig?
10601And be hanged?
10601And drag all this shame into the courts?
10601And has Arizona confessed, too?
10601And he done it?
10601And how long do you feel we''d ought to keep it up?
10601And how many that I''ve once put my hands on have got loose?
10601And how''ll you get around that, even if I do n''t make you, and you come back of your own free will?
10601And how''s things down Sour Creek way?
10601And now suppose we go down the hill and get your hoss?
10601And she''s plumb safe with you?
10601And that they got the killer?
10601And what sort of a looking gent is Sinclair? 10601 And who pays for the killing of Quade?"
10601And why not let the girl go, then?
10601And why not?
10601And why should_ I_ make concessions?
10601And why the devil should n''t he?
10601And yet,pursued the storekeeper,"think of a full- grown man breaking the law to save such a skinny little shrimp of a gent as Jig?
10601And you done it? 10601 And you''d sooner have hung than tell us?"
10601And your mind''s made up?
10601Anybody know anything agin''the prisoner?
10601Anything about him strike you when he was in a saddle?
10601Are they talking about_ that_?
10601Are you all set?
10601Are you comfortable, sheriff?
10601Are you going to spread that story around in Sour Creek?
10601Are you going to stay here?
10601Are you out to find trouble, Fatty?
10601Arizona,he said,"or Dago, or whatever you like to be called--""Cut the Dago part, will you?"
10601Bargain?
10601Beef?
10601Boys,he said,"I figure some of you has got an almighty big wish to see Sinclair on the end of a rope, eh?"
10601Buck, Montana, Larsen-- boys, you- all ai n''t going to let it happen? 10601 But at the last minute he saved Jig?"
10601But how can you go to bed so early?
10601But how did Lowrie happen to die?
10601But is it fair to you?
10601But what am I going to do? 10601 But what could I do?
10601But what he said was right, was n''t it? 10601 But what was it you wanted to see me about?"
10601But who''ll take charge of Gaspar?
10601But who''s this Arizona?
10601But why are you staying here?
10601But you are n''t worried?
10601But you tried to make them friends? 10601 But you''ll be at the place with the horses?"
10601But-- so you''ve carried this grudge all these days, eh?
10601By thunder,demanded Arizona,"are you going to wait for_ that_?"
10601By what?
10601Ca n''t we follow''em?
10601Ca n''t you trust me with it, eh?
10601Can I come in?
10601Cartwright, eh? 10601 Charley, will you find Billy for me and ask him to slide over to my office?
10601Chipping rocks, eh? 10601 Cold Feet and Sinclair?"
10601Come far?
10601Could I trust him?
10601Could you guide her with your knees?
10601D''you think those fool masks mean anything? 10601 Dead?
10601Did Cartwright have something to do with you and him?
10601Did Jig tell you that?
10601Did a gang drop him?
10601Did n''t I run the affair? 10601 Did you do as much as that?"
10601Did you know that?
10601Did you look at that welt on the stranger''s head?
10601Did you see a little cut in the middle of the welt?
10601Did you think I was joking when I told you I was going to sleep eight hours without waking up?
10601Do I look better to you now?
10601Do n''t do what?
10601Do n''t he love Sally Bent? 10601 Do n''t it strike you that they''s something the same with Cartwright and Sandersen?
10601Do n''t it, though?
10601Do n''t she belong to me by law? 10601 Do n''t think they''re guilty?"
10601Do n''t we all know that Quade was fast with a gun? 10601 Do n''t we all know what trials end up with?
10601Do n''t you see that there''s nothing to be afraid of?
10601Do n''t you suppose I know you?
10601Do n''t you think Riley Sinclair is a man to be trusted?
10601Do they want to grab Arizona and Sinclair?
10601Do you mean murder, Sinclair?
10601Do you_ know_ anything, Cartwright?
10601Does Sinclair know?
10601Does this gent Cartwright tie up with your story?
10601Early? 10601 Eh, boys?"
10601Eh?
10601Eh?
10601Eh?
10601Fair?
10601Five dollars?
10601Fool? 10601 For what?"
10601Forget all that, sheriff, will you?
10601Friend? 10601 From you?
10601Gents, does the word of your fat friend go here?
10601Gents, has any of you ever seen this Jig you talk about ride a hoss?
10601Gents,he said,"how long have I been a sheriff?"
10601Get your gat out, will you, Bill?
10601Getting sort of warm today, ai n''t it?
10601Girl,pronounced Riley solemnly,"ai n''t it a fact that you went around to a lot of parties and suchlike things with Quade?"
10601Go in and tell Cartwright that I''m waiting for him in my room, will you?
10601Go_ in_ with him?
10601Gunfighter?
10601Happen to know Ollie Quade-- Oliver Quade?
10601Have I? 10601 Have a chair, Bill, will you?"
10601He give you a message for me?
10601Hey,cut in the voice of the tyrant,"want to spoil that saddle, kid?
10601Him? 10601 Honey,"he said dryly,"when your brother drops in, you just calm him down, will you?
10601Honor? 10601 How are things?"
10601How are you stronger?
10601How are you, Riley?
10601How come?
10601How come?
10601How come?
10601How come?
10601How come?
10601How come?
10601How come?
10601How come?
10601How d''you aim to punish her?
10601How d''you figure that word out?
10601How d''you know?
10601How d''you mean that, Sinclair?
10601How dare you talk like that?
10601How good a man d''you figure him to be with a gun?
10601How in thunder do you?
10601How long is this going to be dragged out?
10601How much of a price?
10601How thick is Sally Bent with this schoolteaching gent?
10601How''d Lowrie go out?
10601How''d that sort of a gent ever get the nerve to murder a man like Quade? 10601 How''s things up Whiteacre way?"
10601How''s this to start you along?
10601How?
10601How?
10601I ask you, man to man, ai n''t they mostly somebody''s idea of what life is?
10601I guess you do n''t know me?
10601I s''pose,said Arizona slowly,"that you and Sinclair had a long yarn about when he knew me some time back?"
10601I-- I-- what does all this mean?
10601If I was to get in touch with Colma, Fatty, what d''you think they''d be able to tell me about your record up there?
10601In all your life?
10601In the first place, d''you know why she left you?
10601Is he?
10601Is that her?
10601Is that the whole story?
10601Is there a back way out?
10601Is they any strangers in town?
10601Is this where I bunk?
10601It ain''t-- it ai n''t a lynching party, boys? 10601 Jig, d''you know what a friend means?"
10601John Gaspar, what kind of a man are you?
10601John Irving Gaspar, alias Jig, alias Cold Feet, d''you know what we got agin''you? 10601 Kid brother?"
10601Kind of queer, me running on to you like this, ai n''t it?
10601Knew what?
10601Know this gent Sinclair?
10601Lady,he said at length,"suppose I cut this short?
10601Lady,he said,"suppose I come clean to you?
10601Let''s see if we ca n''t find out why she left you?
10601Like he was fanning his ribs with his elbows to keep cool?
10601Living up here all alone?
10601Look here, Jig: You''re charged with a murder, you see? 10601 Look here,"he said gaily,"why should we be worryin''?
10601Looking for somebody, Sandersen?
10601Make you?
10601Maybe you''d know the gent I''m down here looking for?
10601Maybe you''ll be sliding out of the saddle for a minute?
10601Me? 10601 Me?
10601Me? 10601 Me?
10601Me? 10601 Me?"
10601Might that be Sour Creek yonder?
10601Mr. Lodge,said his honor,"will you loosen up and tell this lady where we come in?"
10601Name?
10601New in these parts?
10601Nice, friendly sort, eh?
10601No?
10601Not love me? 10601 Now what d''you mean by that?"
10601Now, Gaspar, we''ve started on what''s like to prove the last trail for both of us, understand? 10601 Now, suppose it was me that brought in Cold Feet, who''d get the money?"
10601Now, the tables is turned, eh? 10601 Now, to start with, what in thunder did you mean by running away?"
10601Now, what''s your name?
10601Now, who would want to live in a town like that, can you tell me?
10601Now,he said,"where away?"
10601Oh, Buck, is that the sort of a friend of mine you are?
10601Oh, Jig, have you lost your nerve ag''in? 10601 Oh, then you have n''t found him?
10601Oh,she gasped,"you''re not really_ after_ him?"
10601Only, why did you let him go on into town?
10601Partner, do n''t you see that neither of you could ever be happy?
10601Prove it?
10601Ropes?
10601Sally Bent,he said,"do you know the prisoner?"
10601Sally, will you stand out of the door?
10601Sandersen?
10601Say he killed him?
10601Say, do you want three men to die for one? 10601 Say, what kind of talk is this?"
10601Say, what you mean?
10601Say,he said,"while we''re talking about it, you do n''t happen to believe what Lowrie said?"
10601Say,said the fat man, grinning,"how d''you know_ I_ knew where you was?"
10601Serve you? 10601 She told you that?"
10601Since when have you been interested in playing fair? 10601 Sinclair, I figure you know why we want you?"
10601Sinclair, have you done much thinking before you figured this all out?
10601Sinclair, you mean it? 10601 Singin''?"
10601So I''ve got you at last, eh? 10601 So you do n''t love hosses, eh?"
10601So you went to this gent and told him just how you felt, and he let your promise slide?
10601Son?
10601Still here? 10601 Such as what?"
10601Suicide?
10601Suppose he ever tells we left him? 10601 Talk?
10601That so?
10601That you ai n''t a man?
10601The kid''s asleep?
10601The point is-- who?
10601They outlawed''em both, Whitey?
10601This Cartwright gent is worse''n death to you?
10601This here is a necktie party, maybe?
10601This is going to be a strictly regular hanging with no frills left marabout''s your name?
10601Traveling strange, you mean?
10601Trial?
10601Until Gaspar blew in?
10601Waited till he could shift the blame on me and Sandersen, eh? 10601 Walk out that back door, will you?"
10601Was I wrong to leave him?
10601Was it a fair fight?
10601Was that the Morris trail, Kern?
10601Was you over to Quade''s house yesterday evening?
10601Watch this meat cook, kid, will you? 10601 We ai n''t going down the street?"
10601Well, Sandersen, how d''you make out that a gun butt would make a cut like that?
10601Well, Sandersen, you see that they''s twenty- five- hundred dollars hanging on the head of this Cold Feet?
10601Well, then, had Quade ever made many enemies? 10601 Well, you hear about the killing of Quade, I reckon?"
10601Well?
10601Well?
10601Well?
10601Well?
10601What about Hal Sinclair?
10601What about this Sinclair?
10601What are you driving at, Whitey?
10601What are you- all here for in masks, boys? 10601 What became of her?"
10601What became of the gent?
10601What can I do?
10601What can happen?
10601What come over him?
10601What d''you know about it, Lanky?
10601What d''you mean a ride?
10601What d''you mean, Lowrie? 10601 What d''you mean, Sinclair?"
10601What d''you mean-- door, judge?
10601What d''you mean?
10601What d''you mean?
10601What did he do it for?
10601What difference does she make?
10601What do they want?
10601What do you mean?
10601What else? 10601 What for?"
10601What good''s a coward to the world, Sandersen?
10601What in thunder have you done to him, Sinclair?
10601What is your name?
10601What job?
10601What makes you laugh, Cartwright?
10601What makes you so sure of that?
10601What makes you think they''ll be a need?
10601What other thing, Jig?
10601What right have you to ask me my name, or any other question?
10601What scars?
10601What the devil can we do? 10601 What was the last time Quade seen you?"
10601What would you have done?
10601What you in for?
10601What you mean by questions, Riley? 10601 What''ll we do?"
10601What''s all this about Cold Feet, Whitey?
10601What''s all this? 10601 What''s happened?"
10601What''s his full name?
10601What''s the bad luck?
10601What''s the blame?
10601What''s the matter?
10601What''s the new game, Kern?
10601What''s the point of all this, Arizona?
10601What''s your name?
10601What? 10601 What?"
10601What?
10601What?
10601When did he come in?
10601Where is he, sheriff?
10601Where you going now?
10601Where''s Arizona?
10601Where''s Bill Wood?
10601Where''s Cartwright?
10601Where''s Sinclair gone?
10601Whiteacre? 10601 Who is it?"
10601Who knows except us? 10601 Who told you that?
10601Who wants her? 10601 Who?
10601Who?
10601Who?
10601Why are you doing this for me, Sinclair-- after I landed you here?
10601Why did he save Jig?
10601Why do n''t your dad sell her for beef?
10601Why for?
10601Why not him?
10601Why not, I''d like to know?
10601Why not? 10601 Why not?"
10601Why not?
10601Why not?
10601Why not?
10601Why not?
10601Why not?
10601Why not?
10601Why, I thought they said you cottoned to him when the boys was figuring he might have had something to do with Quade?
10601Why, curse your soul, were n''t you glad to take the idea? 10601 Why, has he killed anybody lately?"
10601Why, man, you ai n''t going to fight the whole town?
10601Why, you that brought him in?
10601Why?
10601Why?
10601Will you follow me into the house?
10601Will you let me tell you-- everything?
10601Will you tell me one thing? 10601 Will you tell me?
10601Will you? 10601 Would you do all of that, partner?
10601Would you ever think that men could be born as awkward as that? 10601 Would you pick him for a good hand on a long trail?"
10601Would you?
10601Would your nerve hold you up through that?
10601Yes, but what about her?
10601You a friend of Sam''s?
10601You ai n''t coming along with us?
10601You ai n''t going to throw away this chance, Jig? 10601 You ai n''t heard nothing?"
10601You ai n''t lost your nerve, have you, Fatty?
10601You ai n''t turned them two in together?
10601You ai n''t? 10601 You are n''t upset by all this?"
10601You come from Sour Creek, maybe?
10601You did n''t like him much?
10601You do n''t mean he was taken alive?
10601You do n''t mean you''re going back into that room where Sinclair is?
10601You do n''t think so? 10601 You do n''t wish him dead?"
10601You do?
10601You fear him?
10601You just coming in to Sour Creek?
10601You know Quade''s dead?
10601You know him?
10601You mean I''m free?
10601You see that face?
10601You see what it would mean?
10601You see, boys?
10601You seem sort of pleased, Sandersen?
10601You stopped there at the last minute?
10601You think I ought to tell you where Cold Feet is?
10601You want Kern to get into trouble?
10601You wo n''t make me go into Sour Creek?
10601You''re Lowrie?
10601You''re Sinclair, I guess?
10601You''re coming with me?
10601You''re from yonder?
10601You''ve come for a job in the posse, Bill?
10601You''ve heard of the killing of Quade?
10601''You mean you want a toy gun?''
106015 Who killed Quade?
10601A man that ai n''t able to love a girl like Sally Bent when she just about throws herself at his head?
10601After all that brutality, what mysterious sense had told her to trust to him rather than to Sour Creek and its men?
10601After all, what reason had she to trust him?
10601Ai n''t I seen him work?"
10601Ai n''t Sinclair asleep?"
10601Ai n''t it Arizona that nailed him?"
10601Ai n''t one look at the skunk enough to prove it?"
10601Ai n''t that a chance, I ask you?"
10601Ai n''t that correct?"
10601Ai n''t that straight?"
10601Ai n''t we got a good sound roof over our heads, with a set of blankets to sleep in?"
10601Ai n''t you got_ no_ courage?"
10601Ai n''t you- all been talking long trails-- Colma, and what not?"
10601Am I right?"
10601And I got this to say: Lemme have the watch over Sinclair while he''s in Sour Creek, or are you taking him back to Woodville today?"
10601And I suppose you got a wife and kids and everything?
10601And after Sinclair is took, what does the sheriff do?
10601And it would n''t be no disgrace to be deserted by a crazy woman, would it?"
10601And knowing that, d''you think he''ll split with Jig and leave the schoolteacher to be picked up the first thing?
10601And might there not be many a man who wore the same type of boots?
10601And now why not make sure that the very last means of retreat for the pair was blocked?
10601And now you want to come along with me?"
10601And the-- other things-- you''ll forget?"
10601And what''s that?"
10601And where is it all going to end?"
10601And will one of us ever talk?"
10601And, if I send down to the south inquiring about you, I got an idea that I''ll find out enough to hang ten like you, eh?"
10601Any of you ever heard about him?"
10601Any takers, boys?
10601Are you going to blame it on to me?"
10601Are you going to destroy that chance?"
10601Are you much on the points of a hoss?"
10601Are you riding our way, Sinclair?"
10601Arizona, what d''you advise next?"
10601Ask Jerry what they''re saying in Sour Creek tonight?"
10601Besides, what good could we do?"
10601But even if he had been able to do that, what would the outcome be?
10601But how can I do it?
10601But how could I escape in a place where everybody knew me?
10601But it kind of looks as if they was something between Sinclair and Kern, do n''t it?"
10601But suppose that he failed, and that she wakened to find herself alone in the mountain wilderness?
10601But what can you expect of a gent that ai n''t got no more pride than to be a schoolteacher, eh?"
10601But what could my reason be for wanting to bump off Quade?
10601But what had brought this Riley Sinclair all the way from Colma to Sour Creek, if it were not an errand of vengeance?
10601But what if Jerry Bent comes home, which he''s sure to do before night?
10601But what of that?
10601But who, then?
10601But why do n''t you want this strange gent to see your face?"
10601But why would you have gone ahead and let that hanging happen?"
10601But will you promise to keep your mouth shut and give no warning when Sinclair heaves in sight?
10601But you ai n''t actually asking me to get Sinclair out of jail?
10601But you do n''t really figure on hanging out here with me in the mountains, me having most of the gents in these parts out looking for my scalp?"
10601But, Sinclair, have you come down to find out if I''d take her back?"
10601By coming here trying to kill me?"
10601Ca n''t you read it in his face?"
10601Can any of you figure that out?
10601Can they prove it on you?"
10601Can you manage all them things at once?"
10601Can you understand?"
10601Can your pride stand that, Jude?"
10601Could he examine the soles of the boots of every man in the vicinity of Sour Creek, even if he limited his inquiry to those who were short and stocky?
10601D''you know how?
10601D''you know why I come in town?"
10601D''you know why?
10601D''you see any point on it?"
10601D''you think any hoss can buck up when it''s carrying a pile of lead?
10601D''you think he''ll stop at that?
10601D''you think it''ll go down with a jury?"
10601D''you think they can keep two like us in here?
10601Did anybody owe Quade money, anybody Quade was pressing for it?"
10601Did n''t I offer her her pick of my own string of riding horses?"
10601Did n''t I see him ride over the hill to Quade''s place and come back in the evening?
10601Did n''t I see it?
10601Did n''t I take her over the ground and show her what it amounted to?
10601Did n''t Quade love her?"
10601Did the sheriff have much to do with his taking?
10601Did you ever think of that?"
10601Did you expect me to escape?"
10601Do n''t he know that Jig''s plumb helpless on the trail?
10601Do n''t that sound nacheral?
10601Do n''t you know?"
10601Do n''t you think I got a right to make my own wife come home with me, now that I''ve found her?
10601Do you think a deputy will let himself be killed simply to keep a prisoner safely?
10601Do you wish to hear?"
10601Eh?
10601Eh?"
10601Eh?"
10601Ever know Kern to do that before?"
10601Ever see anything more yaller?"
10601Expect me to lead an attack on a jail, eh?
10601Fierce men, fighters, toilers, full of hate, full of despair, full of rage, how can they be other than blind?
10601Fight?
10601For what?
10601Gaspar had asked you to marry him?"
10601Gents, could anything be handier for a trial than this layout?"
10601Gimme a chance, will you?"
10601Going to let that hoss stand there all night with his saddle on?
10601Got anything for masks?"
10601Had Sinclair and Cold Feet separated?
10601Had he covered Cold Feet when the latter returned to his camp, having been absent when Sandersen first arrived?
10601Has any one of you professional man hunters figured yet on hunting for''em near Sour Creek?
10601Have a drink?"
10601Have any of you heard tell of Riley Sinclair?"
10601Have n''t they hounded me?
10601He went on more smoothly:"What was you saying about a girl- faced gent?"
10601Hey, Arizona, step out and make a bow, will you?"
10601Hey, Spot, you old fool, git along, will you?"
10601How are you, boys?
10601How come that I would kill him?"
10601How come?
10601How could Sinclair attack a man who had just defended him from a terrible charge?
10601How could men remain there, where there was so little elbow room?
10601How could there be any grudge between me and Quade?
10601How d''you think?"
10601How did you guess that?"
10601How did you guess that?"
10601How does a cat catch a mouse?
10601How does that come?"
10601How many friends have you had?"
10601How many of them books might you have read, Jig?"
10601How was you raised, anyway?"
10601How you feeling now?"
10601How you going to get around the fact that I did take Cold Feet?"
10601I guess that''s Sour Creek over the hill?"
10601I like you, understand?"
10601I read his mind, and he''s mad at me, eh?"
10601I say, did you ever see a man like that?
10601I suppose that''s the sort of a woman you admire?"
10601I told you about a friend of mine?"
10601I was over to Shorty Lander''s store the other day--""What day?"
10601I went on to the altar and met him there, and--""You were n''t married to him?"
10601I''ll stake you to a couple of rounds, eh?"
10601I''ve got you, after all this?"
10601If I was to be around you much, d''you know what I''d do?"
10601If I was to tell the boys that, what d''you figure they''d think about their sheriff?"
10601If Sinclair was in his way, why give up?
10601If he''s alive, he''s terribly wounded?"
10601In his quandary he turned to sad- faced Montana and asked:"Who''s this gent you call Cold Feet?"
10601Is Gaspar guilty or not?"
10601Is he worth keeping alive?
10601Is that clear?"
10601Is that good enough for you?"
10601Is that it?"
10601Is that right for you, too, Sandersen?"
10601Is that sense?
10601Is that square?"
10601Is that square?"
10601Is that straight?"
10601Is there anybody got a Bible around''em?
10601Is they anybody asking you to go back?
10601It would n''t come in very handy for Kern to find us here, eh?"
10601Just because-- well, how did I understand at the trial that you knew I was innocent, and that you would let no harm come to me?"
10601Just slope down the hill and saddle your hoss, will you?"
10601Keep an eye on him, you see?"
10601Keep your chin high and look a man in the face, will you?"
10601Kill a man?
10601Kind of a hard thing to do, would n''t it be?"
10601Kind of late driving that cow, ai n''t you?"
10601Know anything about him?
10601Know what you''re charged with?"
10601Lift it, ca n''t you?"
10601Long, brown, and pretty husky- looking, with a mean eye?"
10601Maybe a friend of yours, Sinclair?"
10601Maybe you think it''s a grudge?
10601Might that be Sour Creek?"
10601New to these parts?"
10601Nice play he made, eh?"
10601No harm coming to him with a murder to his count and a price on his head?"
10601Nobody near?"
10601Nope?
10601Not enough muscle to untie a knot?
10601Now came the low- pitched voice of the sheriff:"Are you with me, Pat?"
10601Now just trot along with me, will you?"
10601Now what''s your plan?"
10601Now, honey, tell me what you want?"
10601Now, if it''s a man, why should n''t it be one of these two, Cartwright or Sandersen, who both pack a grudge against Sinclair?
10601Now, what d''you most generally do with your time in the evening?"
10601Of whom?"
10601Otherwise, why had the posse refused to accept him as a member?
10601Recollect any gents that might hold grudges?"
10601Riley, was it that that brung you back here, and me, unknowing?"
10601Savvy?"
10601Say, man, ai n''t you got no spirit at all?"
10601She''s apt to flare up at the corners, you see?
10601She''s got to make me an accounting of every day she''s spent since I last seen her at--""At the wedding?"
10601Should he shoot without warning?
10601Simply because--""Because all the girls are pretty fond of him, eh?"
10601Sinclair himself?
10601Sinclair, ag''in, eh?
10601Sinclair, d''you figure this is a game with us?"
10601Sinclair?
10601Sinclair?"
10601Sit down over there on your bench, will you?
10601So he done the shooting?"
10601So you''re all along up here?
10601Somebody got the drop on him, eh?"
10601Stay out here and practice being a man, will you?
10601Sun''s down, ai n''t it?
10601Suppose he refused to fight?
10601Suppose he walked boldly down, told his story, and trusted to the skill of his lie?
10601Suppose you step outside and we talk shop?"
10601Take a gent that''s used to a forty- foot rope and a pony, give him sixty feet on a sixteen- hand hoss, and ai n''t he out of place?
10601Tell me: Was it him that was outside the window and trimmed the light on me?"
10601That gave him more steadiness; but would not this contorted position destroy all chance of shooting accurately?
10601That who you''re talking about?''
10601The emotion of a murderer, perhaps?
10601The other day he was one of a bunch that pretty near got Gaspar hung, eh?"
10601The skunk sneaked off in the middle of the night and left you alone here to face the music?"
10601The tall man turned to the sheriff, smiling:"Dago Lansing, eh?"
10601They wo n''t hang you no deader, eh?
10601Throw my life away?
10601To keep me out of danger he told--""That you''re a woman?"
10601Trap for you?
10601Understand?
10601Understand?
10601Understand?
10601Understand?"
10601Unless somebody else would like the job more?
10601Want my roll?"
10601Was it a matter of losing your nerve that made Cartwright mad at you?"
10601Was it possible that Sinclair had betrayed her?
10601Was n''t it me that knowed he''d come into town for you or Cartwright?"
10601Was n''t it me that planted the whole trap?
10601Was not he himself playing the part of the hawk?
10601Was there not a possibility of escape?
10601Was they anybody in them parts that could bring her as much as I could?
10601Was they anybody that had as good a house as mine, or as much land, or as much cattle?
10601Well, if the sheriff ai n''t got the rope, maybe we could help him out, eh?"
10601What about Sinclair?"
10601What could a gent ask for more?
10601What could have been in his head to grab Jig?"
10601What d''ye mean?"
10601What d''you know?"
10601What d''you mean?"
10601What d''you say?
10601What d''you want?"
10601What do I care about the opinion of the world?
10601What do you mean by''friend''?"
10601What has he got agin''Cartwright, d''you know?"
10601What if he buckled and showed yellow and the shame of it followed him?
10601What if he puts that brother of his on your trail?"
10601What if his nerve failed him at the last moment?
10601What in thunder should I want you for, eh?"
10601What might you want to do with a revolver, Jig?''
10601What was it?
10601What you mean calling for Gaspar?
10601What''s he done?"
10601What''s the second murder, Fatty?"
10601What''s the witnesses for the prosecution got to say?"
10601What''s they between you two?"
10601Where you been these days?"
10601Where''d you meet up with him?"
10601Where''s Arizona and Red Chalmers?"
10601Where''s Joe Stockton?"
10601Where''s the man?"
10601Where''s they a real man that would do a schoolma''am''s work?
10601Who d''you want to give the messages to?"
10601Who_ would_ she love, then?
10601Why could he not return to Sour Creek as a hero, and why could he not collect the price on the head of Riley Sinclair?
10601Why do they bring on night, except for folks to go to sleep?"
10601Why else would he have called on Quade?"
10601Why have you done it?"
10601Why not come in?
10601Why not split on it?
10601Why not take the desperate chance of going out to find the assailant and take him by surprise instead?
10601Why should I throw it away on them bums?"
10601Why should I wish to kill a man?
10601Why was he suddenly remembering that to these men he was an outlaw, fit meat for the first bullet they could send home?
10601Why was he turning these alternatives back and forth in his mind?
10601Why, curse her, what right has she got to be considered?"
10601Why?
10601Why?"
10601Why?"
10601Why?"
10601Will you believe it?"
10601Will you believe me?"
10601Will you shake hands for a new start between us?"
10601Will you sit down?"
10601Wipe the sweat off''n his face, will you?"
10601Wo n''t that be two murders on his head?"
10601Wo n''t that change Sinclair''s mind and make him move on?"
10601Wo n''t you try to open your mind and see this another way?"
10601Would n''t the law stand behind me?"
10601Would you ever think that men would be born that did n''t have no use in the world?"
10601Wrong?
10601Wrong?
10601You ai n''t Hi Corson, are you?"
10601You do n''t want to get mixed up in this thing, eh?"
10601You double- crossed this Cartwright, eh?"
10601You have n''t found him?
10601You hear?
10601You hear?"
10601You hear?"
10601You hear?"
10601You hear?''
10601You mean to say that Gaspar had n''t told you he loved you?"
10601You see them two peaks yonder, like a pair of mule''s ears?
10601You think I ai n''t going to keep Cold Feet here till the sheriff comes for him?"
10601You tried to smooth Quade down?"
10601You''ll play in with me?"
10601You?"
20343''Are you going to Mrs. Van Billion''s musicale tonight?'' 20343 ''But yer paw?''
20343''Could n''t yeh have it brung up to Skyland by the stage road,''asts she,''an''then have it rafted down the flume? 20343 ''D''yeh think, honest, Oram,''says he,''the ol''flume''s likely ter give way anywheres?''
20343''Did n''t you hear a knock?'' 20343 ''Does she?''
20343''Heh,_ ladron_, what are you doing there?'' 20343 ''How about gittin''the meals?''
20343''No?'' 20343 ''Not one of them is forgotten before God''--do you remember, ma''am?
20343''Well, who is it?'' 20343 ''Who''s that singin''?''
20343''Why not send it down the flume?'' 20343 ''Why the deuce do n''t you paddle to shore?''
20343A happy one?
20343Am I crying?
20343And I sha''n''t have to take any more of this-- this awful stuff?
20343And her intellect? 20343 And may I ask your name?"
20343And now you go whither?
20343And the name you suggest?
20343And the telegram?
20343And then?
20343And they were in time?
20343And was he followed?
20343And what is your name?
20343And what of the child?
20343And what year?
20343And you ate them?
20343And you kept this from me?
20343And you think,I asked,"that while Gideon lay dead at the bottom of the shaft, his knock was''marching on''?"
20343And you''ve got your notice to leave?
20343And you, Mynheer,he went on, in the same toneless voice,"from where do you come to this shore?"
20343And you?
20343Are you ready?
20343Are you-- are you married?
20343Are you_ sure_ it does not hurt, Pola, my pigeon?
20343Before,say I. M''siu does not know about sheep?
20343But the canoe?
20343But the price of the ticket, my friend; where is that to come from? 20343 But these herbs, these medicines you have-- they did not come from England, did they?"
20343But who_ knows_, eh? 20343 But your sympathies,"urged Faraday,"are n''t they with the North?"
20343Can any one be called happy who has the gift of strong feeling, and two children at stake, in this world?
20343Can never hope for?
20343Did I tell you about the two young lieutenants that came with Baron Rezánov? 20343 Did n''t you have your dinner?"
20343Did you ever see anything like that, Paul?
20343Did you think it was that? 20343 Do n''t you remember?
20343Do n''t you think that would be a good idea?
20343Do you like birds, ma''am?
20343Do you really mean it?
20343Do you suppose that I am that sort of an Eastern person?
20343Do you think he''s coming back to borrow money from you to pay off the ancestral debts?
20343Do you think it was awful for me to do it?
20343Do you think you''ve given him a fair chance?
20343Do you-- from what you have seen of it-- read of it-- do you-- how does it strike you? 20343 Does Mrs. Ryan like him so much?"
20343Does a man live here in Jacatra- weg named Erberveld?
20343Does n''t Mrs. Peck look sweet tonight?
20343Evil?
20343Fong Wu,she said, in a low voice,"when will he wake?"
20343Gunboat, eh?
20343Had they lived here long?
20343Have I not told thee it be there in the paper, O fool?
20343Have girls a flavor?
20343Have you never been in love?
20343Have you the tobacco, Paul?
20343Hey, you, Raoul, what for you do that?
20343Hillo, Raoul,say Filon,"will you cross?"
20343How awfully jolly; may I call you''Jack''and will you be my chum?
20343How did he break the law?
20343How did it happen?
20343I remember-- I remember----"And besides, what right has any one to assume that_ business_ is above art, charity or even mere learning? 20343 I wonder if all girls are like you-- if they forget so easily?"
20343I''m sure the girls like you, do n''t they?'''' 20343 Idiot, Jack?
20343If a dub goes into college and gets flunked out in a month, is he a college man?
20343If a kitten crawls into an oven, is it a biscuit?
20343If you loved college ideals so much more than business,observed Houghton,"then why did you come to us?"
20343Indecision?
20343Is n''t there some one outside?
20343Is that you?
20343It is not living?
20343It seems rather hard on the old bodies, does n''t it?
20343It would be rather awkward for us, would n''t it, if Jim should leave? 20343 Like what?"
20343Me hurtee?
20343Me?
20343Mrs. Steiner goes with you?
20343No,said Pola, scornfully, adding, with a wave of his arm that took in acres of breadfruit trees, banana groves, and taro patches,"Why should I work?
20343No?
20343No?
20343Now what has he got on his mind do you suppose? 20343 Of course it was a pity that when the bird came back it showed others the way-- but was n''t it cute of it, ma''am?
20343Of what month?
20343Oh, Gen,said this apparition, hastily--"excuse me; I did n''t know you had your company in there?"
20343Our conversation is growing a little thin, Paul, do n''t you think so? 20343 Proud of it?"
20343So that''s what you''re after? 20343 So you have resolved never to marry?"
20343The boy was silent for a minute, then,''Señor Maestro,''he asked with suspicious ingenuousness''can Americans live without eating?'' 20343 The menials?"
20343The message? 20343 Then why try to write as one talks?
20343Then you admit, daddy, that a college man is of some use?
20343Then, did she tell you that you never could hope for her?
20343Thus it comes? 20343 Vat?
20343W''at-- me?
20343Wal, yeh had all the grub yeh want, pardner? 20343 Was I wrong?"
20343Well, are n''t they right?
20343Well, what if I have? 20343 Well, what would you do?"
20343Well----?
20343Well?
20343Well?
20343Were they happy?
20343What did he say?
20343What did you kill him with?
20343What do you think happened when we were there the other day? 20343 What do you want to fight for?
20343What do you want?
20343What do you want?
20343What does it mean?
20343What for?
20343What if all that we''ve been saying here, under the rose, as it were, were printed just as we''ve said it?
20343What if it were? 20343 What is it that you wanted to see me about?"
20343What then?
20343What tune is that?
20343What was your idea as to broader lines?
20343What you call dat?
20343What''s that got to do with it?
20343What''s that, Sidin?
20343What''s the matter with knocking?--what is the knocker for?
20343What, my poor dear?
20343What?
20343What_ are_ you crying about?
20343When shall we call again?
20343Where was I? 20343 Where?"
20343Who are you, eh? 20343 Who are you, to judge him?"
20343Who are you?
20343Who cares?
20343Who knows?
20343Who was this extraordinarily enlightened being?
20343Who''s that?
20343Why did he bring her here?
20343Why do n''t you understand?
20343Why do you go away-- go away from me?
20343Why is it,she asked, looking into his face with shining troubled eyes--"why is it you acted this way?
20343Why not?
20343Why not?
20343Why should you run? 20343 Why talk commonplaces?"
20343Why,she murmured, with a little grimace of astonishment--"why, how is this?
20343Why?
20343Why?
20343Would you?
20343Yes?
20343You admit then, Mrs. Walker, that you have broken the rule against having pets in the room?
20343You came, did n''t you?
20343You did n''t know him, did you?
20343You did n''t know him; tell me now,_ did_ you know him?
20343You do n''t understand, do you? 20343 You mean that I am unconventional?"
20343You might help him, might n''t you, Fong Wu?
20343You think Jim would leave if I made Fahey knock at that door every night?
20343You will do nothing for her?
20343_ Canoa_?
20343_ Soifua_,Pola replied,"may you sleep;"and then he added,"Be not angry, but the biscuits----""Are you hungry?"
20343''"What''s that?''
20343''Ca n''t we think up some explanation?''
20343''Conservatory?''
20343''Criminal,''she said, eh?
20343''Did you not_ both_ hear that knock?''
20343''Has n''t he got out there with that telegram yet?''
20343''What the deuce are the niggahs doing?''
20343A missionary, meeting him in the forest road as he was galloping along like a young centaur, asked,"Who are you?"
20343Ai n''t it enough to make a body cry for joy?
20343Am I cruel to speak so frankly?
20343An''now that winter''s come, d''ye think I''d have the face to desert them?
20343An''was n''t it just like a lot o''children hangin''''round at maple- syrup time?
20343An''where away so gaily bedizened?"
20343And 1121--what was this?
20343And Filon, he know that I see, so he make like he not care; but I think he care a little, else why he make for torment me all the time?
20343And William Sturgis-- the young Bostonian who lived with us for so many years?
20343And did not the very life she had chosen express it?
20343And now?
20343And upon that immediately followed,"How ever did he get her?"
20343And what of it for once in a way?
20343And where was Ash Fork, Arizona; and why and how had"The Last Dryad"been written there, of all places the green world round?
20343And why its appeal otherwise than that of obvious esthetic and literary qualities?
20343Andrea?"
20343Are you sure your gossips were''college men''?"
20343As for marrying?
20343As for the costume?
20343As good enough to publish-- or fit for the waste- basket?"
20343At any rate, Oram, the intrepid flume- herder, laughed, dug his picaroon into a log, and asked:"Sorry yeh come?
20343Best err, then, on the safe side; and which side was that?
20343But Hendrik van der Have?
20343But how dost thou know, Howkan?
20343But suppose she had, but for one second, opened her thumb and forefinger and-- what?
20343But the quiet sarcasm was wasted on Paul, and the artist continued,"Are n''t you leaving Andrea out of your calculations?"
20343But was n''t it for all the world like children with empty little stummicks an''chatterin''tongues?
20343But what else could I do?"
20343But what would Conant say of such reasoning, and Trevor-- would they approve?
20343But why is it that girlish boys are so unpleasant while tom- boys are delightful?"
20343But----"Would he never go on?
20343Ca n''t you understand what I mean?
20343Cain''t I have it?
20343Cain''t yeh send it down the flume?
20343Can I go now?"
20343Can do, eh?
20343Can yeh ever, ever fergive me?
20343Can you come see me?
20343Could anything be jollier?
20343Could you make out what he was driving at?"
20343D''ye ever hear about him?
20343Did I fall asleep at all?
20343Did not Rezánov''s death spoil all Russia''s plans in this part of the world-- perhaps, who knows?
20343Did you ever see a boy who wanted to be a girl?"
20343Did you ever write a story, Jack?"
20343Do any of you fellows really care for bon- bons?"
20343Do n''t I know why you''re up here in these woods, with your pretty clothes and your English talk?
20343Do n''t you see?
20343Do n''t you think the women are handsome?"
20343Do you mind that now, Faraday?"
20343Do you propose to revolutionize?"
20343Do you think he''ll come back?"
20343Do you think they are?"
20343Do you understand?"
20343Does he do it?
20343Eh, how you make that, M''siu; is it the devil or no?
20343Even the Church may not reach the secret places of the soul, and who knows what heaven she may have found in hers?
20343Faraday had made the first commonplaces of conversation, when she asked, eyeing him closely,"Do you like it out here?"
20343Filon push his goat on the log, he is one great black one that is call Diable-- I ask you is that a name for a goat?
20343For how could we know?
20343For instance, slipping to his knee on one such occasion, with the great heart of her pulsing against him, she sighed:"I love thee, lovest thou me?"
20343For, shortly after his arrival, as Fong Wu asked at the grocery store for mail, he met Radigan''s inquiry of"You do my washee, John?"
20343Genevieve, as any man might admire a charming and handsome girl, feel so desperate a despondency?
20343Good- by?!!
20343Granted that the idea was the same, was not the treatment, the presentation, more effective?
20343Had death, then, robbed her anger?
20343Had she done so?
20343Had she not this moment told herself that she was resolved-- resolved to accept"The Last Dryad"?
20343Had the spirit in its eternal youth paused in its flight to stamp a last sharp impress upon the prostrate clay?
20343Have you found in the earth, then, the cure for each ailment of man?"
20343He said they were thought a great deal of in England?"
20343Here, I sometimes think"--she raised her eyes to his in deep and somewhat anxious query--"that they are too fat?"
20343His knock is on duty tonight, but where is he?''
20343How came the inspiration for that classic_ paysage_, such as Ingres would have loved, from the sage- brush, and cactus?
20343How could she have married Paul?
20343How do men feel about a broken engagement?"
20343How else can they make their dialogue in the least attractive?
20343How much do they cost?''
20343I did n''t catch the words, and it spoke again:--"What night of the month is this night?"
20343I found out that Pepper was doing the wrong thing-- by the first rule of criticism( freshman English):''What is the author trying to do?
20343I hate bon- bons: do you like them?"
20343I said;"what evil?"
20343I was but fourteen, but what will you?
20343I''m satisfied with my manifest destiny; but I''m rather sorry for old maids-- aren''t you?"
20343If so, was my first waking a dream- waking, and the real one only when the thing was gone?
20343If the walls did not melt?
20343Is it because I am of the same sex as the mother of your God?''
20343Is it to plant a vineyard that others may drink wine?
20343Is it worth doing?''
20343It be plain we were fools, but how were we to know, we old men of the Whitefish?
20343It be there in the paper?"
20343It be true, the white man''s gun is most excellent and kills a long way off; but of what worth the gun, when there is no meat to kill?
20343It is all very well to preach, but how would-- any one do in my case?
20343It is hard to be natural, is n''t it?"
20343It lies down along the sand; you think it is done?
20343It would at least be natural, and we''ve been saying something of interest to each other; why should it not interest a third party?"
20343Jest a little one?''
20343Juno, that spoils today for me,--that morrow-- who is going to pay the rent of it?
20343Juno, this anti- climax strikes me as being exceedingly funny?
20343Juno?
20343M''siu, is a man to stand that from a dog?
20343M''siu, what you think she do?
20343Mr. Kaufmann, you would n''t try to sell gum that had only gone as far as the rolling- room, would you?"
20343No?
20343Now it be known that it is not good to hunt the bald- face with a pistol, but how were we to know?
20343Now what do you say to that?"
20343Now, honestly, is it?"
20343Or was it Bachelder''s fancy?
20343Or was it the long black eyelashes that hid the hollows beneath the eyes?--or the faint mysterious almost mocking smile?
20343Or, turning up a saucy face, she would ask,"Shall I tumble out more coffee?"
20343Perhaps had I been older-- who knows?
20343Perhaps?
20343Raising her eyes, she met his and said, with a little mocking air,"Well, Mr. Faraday, and what do you think of that?"
20343Resolved to accept it?
20343Ryan, sitting upright with a creaking sound, and drawing her gloves through one satin- smooth, bejeweled hand,"are very thin, are n''t they?
20343Say, ai n''t them green gages sour?
20343Shape?
20343She had heard that Concha, too, had been frivolous in her youth, and had not she herself a tragic bit of a story?
20343Should not the fittest survive?
20343So she let me down most beautifully----""And offered to be a sister to you?"
20343Supposing she refuses?"
20343Take food from the table?
20343That is all-- except that the next offer of Consolidated Pepsin was,"Will you please name your own terms?"
20343That should make up for the loss of----""----a husband?"
20343The chief man of the white men told thee, mayhap?
20343The point is, of what follows, how much, if any, was a dream?
20343The wise one said,''Why talk forever on of men who are long gone?''"
20343There''s the knocker-- see?"
20343Think you if the devil had a hand in it, he would not have helped Filon?
20343Walker?"
20343Was I not, then, Spanish?
20343Was he losing interest in the scheme which had afforded him so many hours of sweet, if not solid, satisfaction?
20343Was it Lord Hastings?
20343Was it not right that the public should have the better version?
20343Was it to give him a lecture?
20343Was not California all that was left her?
20343Was not Dr. Langsdorff''s book published in 1814?
20343Was not her story the better one?
20343Was not your mother Conchitita Castro, if she did marry an American and has not taught you ten words of Spanish?
20343Was that true?
20343Well, who knows?
20343Well?
20343What are you doing here, at this time of night?"
20343What became of him?"
20343What could the creature want of him at this time of night and with that extraordinary appearance?
20343What did that"But"mean?
20343What do I know, I, old Imber of the Whitefish?
20343What do I talk here?
20343What do you think o''runnin''that pianner down to Five?''
20343What do you want?"
20343What else but disaster could it mean?
20343What is the knocker for?"
20343What is true love?
20343What power of divination possessed her?
20343What put that into your fool head?"
20343What then?"
20343What was the mere story?
20343What was this she was saying?
20343What was this?
20343What would I do if I had a wife and family to provide for?"
20343What would a shepherd, whose work is always toward the hills, do with a woman?
20343What would come of it?
20343What you think, M''siu?
20343What----?"
20343What?
20343When do you go to the mine?"
20343Where were the partition lines between sleep and waking,--between what we call Certainty, and-- the other thing?
20343Who are we, anyway, to judge him?"
20343Who is going to keep it in food and clothes?"
20343Who knows?
20343Who remembers that time but a few old women like myself?
20343Who shall divine her thoughts as, standing there in the door, she gazed upon her rival?
20343Why do the colleges turn out men who spend their time in personal gossip over sport or trivialities?"
20343Why hesitate, why procrastinate?
20343Why not cultivate the conventional style of the practised writer?"
20343Why not?"
20343Why, have n''t I spent every afternoon through the summer out in the park a- feedin''them my lunch?
20343Why?"
20343Wo n''t you think it over from our point of view, Mrs. Walker, when you go back to your room?
20343Would n''t you like to be a carpenter?"
20343Would they agree?
20343Would this not be delightful and just as an all- wise Providence meant it should be?
20343Wounds leave scars, and you ca n''t forget a scar-- can you?"
20343Write it, and send the manuscript to me, that I may place it for you; will you?
20343Yeh remember?
20343Yes-- but about Tom-- what?--7:30--But about Tom, daddy?
20343You have no objection, Mr. Faraday, to knowing Jews?"
20343You know that Santa Ana, M''siu?
20343You remember how mad popper was that night, Gen?"
20343_ I_ do n''t chew gum, do I?"
20343_ Wherefore this book of fiction by Californian writers?
20343_ from a painting by Gordon Ross_ WHEREFORE?
20343alter the course of her history?
20343and how was Koo- So- Tee to know?
20343and so on, finishing with a vital question-- did Bachelder know where she lived?
20343she asked him, adopting pidgin- English"Me fallee off?"
20343who knows?
17066A witness of what?
17066ARE YOU WITH ME OR AGAINST ME?
17066Active enemies?
17066Afterward?
17066An''how do I know you told all you know? 17066 And Jack and the lady were three or four minutes behind him?"
17066And did you?
17066And quarreled with him?
17066And the new will?
17066And then?
17066And then?
17066And were on good terms with him?
17066Any one else?
17066Anything I can do for you in the meantime?
17066Anything else?
17066Anything occur at that time throwing any light on what subsequently occurred?
17066Are n''t you in bad enough already with Uncle? 17066 Are n''t you?
17066Are you claimin''that I killed him?
17066Are you going back to Twin Buttes?
17066Are you related to James Cunningham, the deceased?
17066Are you satisfied now that I''m in my right mind?
17066At them or at him?
17066At what time did this man knock?
17066At what time did this take place?
17066At what time was it you thought you heard this shot?
17066Bad news, pardner?
17066Beat him at Pendleton, did n''t you?
17066Big as a.45?
17066Bless my soul, did I forget that again?
17066Bring either of them to Denver?
17066Business?
17066But not in a personal sense?
17066But what does_ X_ mean?
17066But, my dear fellow, why should I do anything with her?
17066But-- two James Cunninghams have n''t died mysteriously, have they?
17066But--"Why did you lie about the time when you saw me that night?
17066Ca n''t we? 17066 Can I see that book?"
17066Can you give me the exact time he reached the apartment house?
17066Can you lend me a match, friend?
17066Can you locate more definitely the exact time you heard the shot?
17066Can you prove an alibi for the whole evening-- both of you?
17066Can you tell me where James Cunningham''s apartment is?
17066Carried a six- shooter for rattlesnakes, did n''t you?
17066Chief, is there anything you want to say?
17066Come to the big town to spend that thousand dollars you won the other day?
17066Could n''t she? 17066 Did James kill Uncle James?"
17066Did anybody see you go?
17066Did anything peculiar about the wound impress you?

17066Did he say anything?
17066Did he say so?

17066Did n''t hear him come downstairs later?
17066Did n''t you kill him?
17066Did she say anything?
17066Did she step in of her own free will?
17066Did we come here to discuss stenographers?
17066Did you answer the call?
17066Did you at any time hear the sound of a shot?
17066Did you do it?
17066Did you ever see this man, dear?
17066Did you fix the rope for a lariat up on the roof or wait till you came back to the fire escape?
17066Did you give it to him?
17066Did you kill him?
17066Did you kill the Jap servant, too, as well as his boss?
17066Did you know James Cunningham, the deceased?
17066Did you leave Cheyenne without riding to- day?
17066Did you meet any one going up or coming down?
17066Did you notice a violet perfume any other place that night?
17066Did you recognize him?
17066Did you say you were going to Golden?
17066Did you see any gun of any kind in your uncle''s rooms-- either a revolver or an automatic?
17066Did you see it done?
17066Did you win the championship?
17066Did you write to him or hear from him in that time?
17066Did your sister ever tell you that my uncle was responsible for--?
17066Do I look like I could buy registered stock?
17066Do n''t carry a gun in town?
17066Do n''t you think that obsession of yours is rather-- well, unlikely, to put it mildly? 17066 Do n''t you think we ought to see all the tenants at the Paradox and talk with them?
17066Do we light out now or wait for the cops?
17066Do you always--puff, puff--"leave your rooms"--puff, puff, puff--"by the fire escape?"
17066Do you happen to know the name of the lady with whom your uncle had an appointment on the night of his death at his rooms?

17066Do you happen to remember whether you made out any license application for a man named Cunningham any time in the past two months?
17066Do you know anything at all about the Jap''s death? 17066 Do you know anything else that could possibly have had any bearing on my uncle''s death?"
17066Do you know if he is there now?
17066Do you know or are you guessin''?
17066Do you know that my cousin and Miss Harriman came to see my uncle that night? 17066 Do you know when Mrs. Rankin and your daughter will be home?"
17066Do you know when he found out?
17066Do you know who did kill him?
17066Do you know who killed my uncle?
17066Do you mean that he actually tried to kill you?

17066Do you see him in this room?
17066Do you think I did it?
17066Do you think he killed your uncle?
17066Do you think it was quite straight, Kirby, to go to Miss Harriman with such a trumped- up charge? 17066 Does she say--?"
17066During the past few months have you had any difference of opinion with your uncle?

17066Find out anything, Rose?
17066For God''s sake, man, what do you know?
17066For a marriage license?
17066For what, officer?
17066Found him-- where?
17066Go where?
17066Going through with this, are you?
17066Gone where?
17066Good news?
17066Had he ever suggested to you that he might commit suicide?
17066Had he ever threatened to cut you out of his will?
17066Had n''t we better let him tell his story in his own way?
17066Had you any expectation of being remembered in your uncle''s will?
17066Had you ever had any trouble with your uncle?
17066Had you suspected him before?
17066Has he bothered you since?
17066Has n''t he?
17066Have they gone crazy?
17066Have you any idea where she would be likely to go-- whether there is any friend who might have offered her a temporary home?
17066Have you anything to tell me?
17066Have you communicated the information to the police?
17066Have you found out anything more yet about-- the man?
17066Have you seen the man since?
17066Have you told him-- about Esther?
17066Have you touched the body or moved anything since you came?
17066Have you''phoned to your lawyer?
17066He knew?
17066He was alone?
17066He''s as selfish as the devil, is n''t he?
17066How about Horikawa? 17066 How can_ I_ help you?"
17066How could I if the blind was down?
17066How did my uncle take the news when you told him?
17066How did she show her fear?
17066How did you decide that the James Cunningham mentioned in the license you saw was the younger one?
17066How did you find that out?
17066How do I know?
17066How do you know I''m holdin''back?
17066How do you know all that?
17066How do you know he has n''t? 17066 How do you know he was there?
17066How do you know it is n''t?
17066How do you know that''s been done since?
17066How do you know that?
17066How do you know the time so exactly?
17066How do you know? 17066 How long do you think he had been dead when you first saw him?"
17066How long since you had seen him prior to your visit to Denver this time?
17066How long since you sold your.38?
17066How much do they give for burglary in this state?
17066How much money? 17066 How old was the lady?
17066How would he guess it?
17066How''s the arm?
17066How''s the leg? 17066 How?"
17066How?
17066I always claimed to be a white man, did n''t I? 17066 I did n''t tell them to gun him, did I?"
17066I''d be likely to tell you if I was, would n''t I?
17066I''m free to come an''go as I please?
17066I''m the man who wrote that letter, am I?
17066If you have nothin''to conceal, why do you block anyway? 17066 If you would answer a few questions--""What questions?"
17066In that time did your feelings toward him modify at all?
17066In this room?
17066In your judgment, then, the revolver was fired by a left- handed person?
17066Is he dead? 17066 Is he married?"
17066Is it good for our li''l''friend to be in the power of this good- lookin''guy with the big car, an''her without a bean of her own? 17066 Is it interference for Miss McLean here to want to know where her sister is?"
17066Is it open? 17066 Is it?
17066Is it?
17066Is there more than one entrance to the Denmark Building?
17066Just exactly what did you do?
17066Kirby, do you suppose your cousins really know Esther was married to your uncle? 17066 Know the date?"
17066Leaving the property to James and Jack?
17066Living in Denver?
17066Married to who?
17066May I ask if Mrs. Rankin and your daughter are at present in the house?
17066May I see the license?
17066Meanin''that he has?
17066Meaning, in plain English?
17066Meaning?
17066Mind if I read it? 17066 Miss Harriman?
17066Miss McLean and Uncle James married-- at Golden-- on the twenty- first of last month? 17066 Mr. James Cunningham?"
17066Mr. Lane, will you take the stand?
17066Name, please?
17066Nephew of the old man?
17066Never wrote it?
17066No?
17066Not even after he threw you downstairs?
17066Not in this court- room?
17066On what business?
17066Or his business with her?
17066Or is that the same thing?
17066Or the substance of them?
17066Own it now?
17066Own one, I suppose?
17066Precisely?
17066Pretty near up to you to find some one else to pass the buck to, ai n''t it?
17066Showing that the weapon had been fired close to him?
17066Some one hire you to hunt up evidence?
17066Soon as Mrs. Rankin comes home, will you call her up and remind her about lookin''for the certificate?
17066Sure it was n''t the perfume you use yourself that you smelled?
17066Sure your clock was right?
17066Sure?
17066That so? 17066 That was how long ago?"
17066That''s all you saw?
17066That''s the last time you saw him-- until you went to his rooms at the Paradox the night he was killed?
17066That''s the whole story?
17066The champion bronco buster?
17066The information will be there for us, too, wo n''t it?
17066The nephew is n''t killed, too, is he?
17066The police did n''t find a woman''s glove in the room, did they?
17066Then who did-- yore wife?
17066Then whose is it?
17066There was n''t any quarrel between you recently, was there?
17066Think I did it?
17066This is my job, is it?
17066This is not a private conference, then?
17066Through with Mr. Cunningham, Johns? 17066 To your knowledge, Mr. Cunningham, had your uncle any enemies?"
17066Took the dust, did I?
17066Under the circumstances could the revolver have been fired so that the bullet could have taken the course it did if held in the right hand?
17066Very close?
17066W- w- who says so?
17066Want me to help you gather the loot?
17066Was between the two trips of the elevator, you mean?
17066Was her name Esther McLean?
17066Was it because you tried to defend James to him-- tried to get him to forgive the treachery of his fiancà © e and his nephew?
17066Was it before James Cunningham went up in the elevator? 17066 Was it light enough to tell who they were?"
17066Was it possible that the deceased could have shot himself?
17066Was it successful, may I ask?
17066Was my uncle senseless then?
17066Was she fair or dark?
17066Was that the conduct one would expect of an innocent man?
17066Was that you telephoned me?
17066Was the hall lit when you came out of my uncle''s rooms?
17066Was your clock exactly right?
17066Was your uncle engaged to be married at the time of his death?
17066Was your uncle engaged to be married at the time of his death?
17066Well, what you waitin''for?
17066Well, what''s it all about? 17066 Well?"
17066Were you at home on the evening of the twenty- third-- that is, last night?
17066Whadjamean?
17066Whadjawant?
17066What Cunningham?
17066What about her?
17066What about him?
17066What about this Jap fellow? 17066 What about this girl in Uncle''s office-- the one in trouble?
17066What are the interestin''points of the town?
17066What are you afraid of?
17066What are you drivin''at?
17066What are you sayin'', then? 17066 What caliber was it?"
17066What caliber was it?
17066What did he do?
17066What did he say to give you that impression?
17066What did they do then?
17066What did you do that for?
17066What did you do?
17066What did you do?
17066What do you expect to find among the marriage licenses?
17066What do you mean to do?
17066What do you mean? 17066 What do you mean?"
17066What do you think of that prize package, Cole?
17066What do you want to know?
17066What do you want?
17066What do you want?
17066What does she mean that she''ll be taken care of till afterward? 17066 What harm will that do?"
17066What in time did he want to do that for? 17066 What is it?
17066What is it?
17066What is the name of the young woman?
17066What is your business?
17066What kind of a chance are you giving me? 17066 What kind of a gun was it?"
17066What kind of a gun?
17066What makes you think that?
17066What man or men would benefit most if Esther disappeared for a time? 17066 What man?"
17066What others?
17066What sort of a reputation has Uncle James in this way? 17066 What time did he reach the Paradox?"
17066What time was this?
17066What took place then?
17066What was said, if anything?
17066What was the cause of the bad feeling between you?
17066What was the sense in killin''him? 17066 What was the subject of the quarrel?"
17066What were you doing there all that time?
17066What were your relations with him?
17066What you do here?
17066What you doing here?
17066What you mean-- the best reason in the world?
17066What you want, Hull?
17066What''s bitin''you? 17066 What''s in the wind now?"
17066What''s the drift of this? 17066 What''s the trouble between you about?"
17066What''s the use o''talkin''foolishness, Kent? 17066 What''s up, Kirby?"
17066What''s up? 17066 What''s up?"
17066What''s your proposition?
17066What''s_ he_ doing here?
17066What-- what--?
17066When Uncle James sent a messenger for you to come to his rooms at once on the evening of the twenty- first, what did he want to tell you?
17066When did you go?
17066When did you last see Mr. Cunningham alive?
17066When did you last see my uncle alive?
17066When did you see it last?
17066When was the last time you saw the deceased alive?
17066When?
17066When?
17066Where can I see him most easily? 17066 Where did you carry it?"
17066Where do you think you''re going?
17066Where is she now?
17066Where shall I begin?
17066Where was the chair in which the deceased was seated? 17066 Where we goin''?"
17066Where your uncle lived?
17066Where''s Esther?
17066Where-- where did you find it?
17066Where?
17066Where?
17066Where?
17066Which hip pocket?
17066Which man do you mean?
17066Which of you went back upstairs to untie my uncle after you had run away in a fright?
17066Which one?
17066Which way did he go when he left you?
17066Who did that?
17066Who killed Cunningham, Hull?
17066Who killed him?
17066Who said he sent a messenger for me?
17066Who says I saw anything from there?
17066Who spoke first after they came into the room?
17066Who to?
17066Who told you we were there? 17066 Who wants me?
17066Who was it? 17066 Who''s there?"
17066Who''s your friend?
17066Who, then?
17066Who?
17066Whose marriage is it? 17066 Why did he run away if he had nothin''to conceal?"
17066Why did n''t he tell us that?
17066Why did n''t you go to Jack, then?''
17066Why did you come, then?
17066Why did you not call up the police at once, as soon as you found the crime had been committed?
17066Why do n''t they arrest Hull?
17066Why do you say good?
17066Why not? 17066 Why now?
17066Why should it be dragged through the mud-- if you''re all innocent?
17066Why should it go to the police? 17066 Why should you all assume I know?"
17066Why would n''t I be? 17066 Why would she go with a man she did n''t know very well?
17066Why-- if you care to tell?
17066Will he? 17066 Will it do any harm to take a friend along when you go to see this man?"
17066Will it take long? 17066 Will you explain about the note, please?"
17066Will you point him out?
17066Will you stand aside, sir?
17066Will you take the key back to the Chief of Police?
17066Will you tell what, if anything, occurred?
17066With my uncle still tied up?
17066Without meeting anybody?
17066Would she recognize them? 17066 Would you know him again?"''
17066Would you know him if you saw him again?
17066Yes?
17066Yes?
17066Yet when you came to town you called on him at the first opportunity?
17066You are his next of kin?
17066You are his only nephews-- his only near relatives?
17066You are, eh?
17066You ca n''t ever mind your own business, can you?
17066You dawg- goned old hellamile, what you mean comin''down here an''gettin''throwed in the calaboose?
17066You did n''t actually see Hull fire the shot that killed my uncle, then?
17066You did n''t take the elevator up, then?
17066You do n''t know who it was you struck?
17066You do not desire to make any explanation?
17066You do not know who wrote the letter?
17066You feelum all right yes now?
17066You felt that Mr. Cunningham ought to have helped him?
17066You go police an''say I know who make Mr. Cunningham dead?
17066You had a bitter quarrel?
17066You had just found it out yourself?
17066You have not seen him since that time?
17066You knew your uncle well?
17066You know my sister, Esther McLean, a stenographer of your uncle?
17066You know they turned in at the Paradox?
17066You left next mornin''for Dry Valley, did n''t you?
17066You left the apartment?
17066You mean-- now?
17066You mean--?
17066You no want me?
17066You reckon? 17066 You saw him do it?"
17066You tellum police I killum Mr. Cunnin''lam and Horikawa?
17066You tryin''to hang this killin''on me?
17066You were in my uncle''s apartment-- on the night of the murder?
17066You write me note come here now?
17066You''re quite sure of that?
17066You''re sure of that?
17066You? 17066 Your cousin James?"
17066Your uncle?
17066Your wife heard this sound, too?
17066''Quite through?''
17066Ai n''t they got no sense a- tall?"
17066Am I right, Chief?"
17066Am I right?"
17066An''if the folks that finally bumped him off knew he did n''t aim to tell what he knew, whyfor did they figure they had to get rid of him?"
17066An''why did it get her goat when I asked where Uncle James lived?"
17066And does he really expect me to see him now?"
17066And how long are you going to stay?"
17066And say, what''s the name of that fresh guy who came in here and cut the page from the register?
17066And was she dark or fair?"
17066And what date?"
17066And what under heaven had hit him hard enough to put the lights out so instantly?
17066And why?
17066Are we goin''to bring her into this?"
17066Are you and James in this thing?
17066Are you proposing I turn state''s evidence on James?
17066Are you sure you returned it to the clerk?"
17066Are you sure?"
17066Are you sure?"
17066Are you with me or against me?"
17066At his office?"
17066Behind those cold, calculating eyes what was he thinking?
17066Blanton?"
17066Bone broken?"
17066But how about Hull an''Olson an''the Jap?
17066But it ai n''t likely he handed her the gun to do it with, is it?
17066But since I''m here-- say, Rose, where can we have a talk?
17066But to whom?
17066But what was she to do?
17066But will he go with us?"
17066But-- damn it, do you think we want the name of my brother''s wife dragged through the mud?"
17066By the way, did you find anything about where James goes into the hills?"
17066CHAPTER XII"THAT''S THE MAN""Your name?"
17066CHAPTER XXII"ARE YOU WITH ME OR AGAINST ME?"
17066CHAPTER XXXIV FROM THE FIRE ESCAPE"The woman-- what was she like?"
17066Ca n''t you do something?"
17066Ca n''t you find it in the book?"
17066Ca n''t you see that?"
17066Ca n''t you?"
17066Can I come this morning?"
17066Can I help you now?"
17066Can you come here-- right away?"
17066Can you make a guess?"
17066Could I get away with a story like that?
17066Could a man get out of the Denmark Building now by way of the Rockford entrance?"
17066Could he be the murderer?
17066Could the boys have used it to get into the store an''then brought it back?
17066Could you go?
17066Cunningham''s enemies could n''t be his enemies, too, do you reckon?"
17066Cunningham?"
17066Cunningham?"
17066Cunningham?"
17066Did James propose that he go first?"
17066Did he come in?"
17066Did he know more than he had told?
17066Did he say two thousand?"
17066Did his uncle know of the marriage of his nephew?
17066Did n''t I say so?
17066Did n''t Mr. Lane think he had done right in taking the papers from the safe when he had a chance?
17066Did n''t you?"
17066Did she intend to be reasonable?
17066Did the cattleman mean to expose James before the woman he knew to be his wife?
17066Did they know more about the murder than they pretended?
17066Did you know him well?"
17066Did you see anything suspicious going on at any time?"
17066Did young Lane expect him to back his side of the quarrel?
17066Did your uncle return?"
17066Do n''t that look reasonable to you?
17066Do n''t you ever stay down?"
17066Do n''t you reckon some one else beat it by the fire escape?"''
17066Do n''t you see?
17066Do n''t you see?
17066Do n''t you think so?"
17066Do n''t you think you ought to go to the police with your story?
17066Do n''t you waver at all?"
17066Do you believe he killed his uncle?"
17066Do you believe me absolutely?
17066Do you hear?
17066Do you know at what time Mr. Cunningham left the City Club?"
17066Do you think I shot Uncle James?"
17066Do you think I''m willin''to go back to my friends with a Scotch verdict hangin''over me?
17066Do you think they can be trying to keep it quiet so she ca n''t claim the estate?"
17066Do you want to go to Golden with me?"
17066Do you?"
17066Do your hunches often take you like that-- right out of a perfectly good show you''ve paid your money to see?"
17066Does that look reasonable to you?"
17066ESTHER"Did anybody see her go?"
17066Eat lunch with me to- morrow, ca n''t you?
17066Fellow at the other end said,''This you, Uncle James?''
17066For instance, how did they come and did they bring witnesses with them?"
17066Get hurt?"
17066Had Hull bribed him to keep quiet?
17066Had James befriended him merely to be in a position to keep closer tab on anything he discovered?
17066Had Kirby got anything of importance on James?
17066Had Phyllis Harriman been the woman Rose had met on the stairs?
17066Had he just come out of the apartment where Horikawa was hidin''?
17066Had he wanted to be close enough to throw him off the track with the wrong suggestions?
17066Had n''t we better get that out of the way?"
17066Had n''t you better give Hudson another chance before you fire him?"
17066Had the Hulls deliberately shifted the time back thirty- five minutes?
17066Had the tendons of that arm been strained by a jiu- jitsu twist?
17066Had the young man, after all, a warmer feeling for his dead uncle''s reputation than he had given him credit for?
17066Have you any other word than the one I have used to suggest as a more fittin''one?"
17066Have you ever heard of his bein''in anything of this sort before?"
17066Have you got the note with you?"
17066He must have heard me, for he called out,''Who''s there?''
17066How about to- morrow morning?"
17066How are you, James?"
17066How can I get to the bottom of the thing when you an''James wo n''t give me the facts?"
17066How could this man know exactly what he had done unless some one had seen him?
17066How could you tell what was comin''?
17066How did he come into it?"
17066How did he know my uncle had been killed?
17066How did he see me?
17066How did these papers come here?
17066How did you recognize them?"
17066How do you know it?
17066How had they all managed to get in and out without being seen by each other?
17066How long you figurin''to stay in Denver, Cole?"
17066How much did his cousin know?
17066How much did she know and how much guess?
17066How much was he merely guessing?
17066How old was your uncle?"
17066How''re you going to find the guilty man?"
17066How''s the arm?
17066Howcome she to go with him?
17066Hull ask you not to tell about him?"
17066Hull go up to his rooms with me?"
17066Hull plainly?"
17066Hull was in my uncle''s rooms the night he was killed?"
17066Hull?
17066Hull?"
17066Hull?"
17066Hull?"
17066Hull?"
17066Hull?"
17066Hurt much?"
17066I guess I was all in, was n''t I, Shibo?"
17066I have n''t seen you since you were ten years old, have I?"
17066I mean do you know of your own eyesight that they ever reached his apartment?"
17066I''m not on trial for my life here, am I?"
17066If he did that last, which fork of the road did he take?
17066If he knew somethin''why did n''t he come to bat with it?
17066If he wanted it why did n''t he take a copy?
17066If not the killer, how did he know that a crime had been committed less than an hour before?
17066If not, why did they tie him up first?"
17066If so, how did the presence of Rose fit into the schedule?
17066If so, why should he telephone the police and start immediately the hunt after him?
17066If so, why?
17066If you''ll come to the house-- Or shall I meet you downtown?"
17066If you''re not in this killin''why not tell what you know?
17066Is it broken?"
17066Is that it?"
17066Is that quite clear?"
17066Is that satisfactory, Hull?
17066Is that testimony true?"
17066Is that what you''re driving at?"
17066Is that why you want me to drop my investigations?"
17066Is there any other record kept of the marriages?"
17066Is there anything in the world we can do to head you off?"
17066It was-- let me think-- in the afternoon-- the day before--""And you parted from him on the best of terms?"
17066Kinda leaves James in the spotlight, does n''t it?"
17066Lane?"
17066May I come in?"
17066Mind if I do?
17066My question was, what about?"
17066Now would n''t you?"
17066Oh, are n''t you mistaken, Mrs. Rankin?
17066Or did he want to win back favor with James Cunningham, Senior, millionaire?
17066Or did she mean to try to impose impossible conditions?
17066Or do you prefer to be arrested?"
17066Or was he bluffing?
17066Or was his decision only the expression of a native chivalry that went out to all his friends and perhaps to all women?
17066Or was it a plant?
17066Or was it after Jack Cunningham an''Miss Harriman passed on the way up?"
17066Or was there anything significant in the last sentence?
17066Rose, I mean?"
17066Say, you blamed ol''horntoad, howcome you not to stay for the finals?
17066See?"
17066Shall I leave the writing here?"
17066Shall I tell you the thing that''s got you worried?
17066Shall we go by the interurban?"
17066So I called back,''Who?''
17066That was the way of it, was n''t it?"
17066Then why is the question such a knockout to you and Miss Harriman?
17066To what dark destiny was she moving?
17066To- day?
17066Until then they''ll be good to her, wo n''t they?"
17066Wanta come along?"
17066Was he as simple as he wanted to appear?
17066Was he in love with the Wild Rose from Wyoming, whose spirit also was like a breath from the sweet hill pines?
17066Was he slipping a noose over his own head?
17066Was he starting on a journey the end of which would be summary vengeance?
17066Was he telling more than he should?
17066Was it between the time he went up an''the other two went up?
17066Was it even fair?"
17066Was it genuine?
17066Was it just a shot in the dark?
17066Was it possible he could have killed Cunningham himself and be trying to throw the blame of it on Hull?
17066Was it possible the Hulls had just come down from the apartment above when he had knocked on their door?
17066Was it to divert suspicion from themselves?
17066Was that generous?
17066Was that why he was afraid to come out in the open with what testimony he had?
17066Was there any particular significance in it?
17066We''ve met before, have n''t we?"
17066Whadjawant me for?"
17066Whadjawant?"
17066What are you afraid of?
17066What are you doing here?"
17066What are you drivin''at, anyhow?"
17066What are you goin''to do?
17066What are you staying here for hounding the life out of James and me?"
17066What bearing had this marriage on it, if any?
17066What business have you to ask her questions?"
17066What business you got to come here devilin''me, I''d like for to know?"
17066What could he do against a single- track mind with such driving force back of it?
17066What did Lane want with his uncle?
17066What did he mean?
17066What did he want?"
17066What did she know about the murder of his uncle?
17066What did she take with her?"
17066What did you think we found out?"
17066What do you mean by trouble?"
17066What do you think I am-- a nice little parlor girl who has to be petted when she gets hurt?
17066What do you think I am?
17066What do you want to prove?"
17066What do you want?"
17066What evidence have you?"
17066What for?
17066What had she been doing in Cunningham''s room?
17066What happened next?
17066What is it?
17066What is it?"
17066What kind of perfume was it?"
17066What made you change yore mind?"
17066What more potent reason could there be for concealment than their desire to keep the fortune of the millionaire in their own hands?
17066What ought she to do?
17066What say?"
17066What secret connected with his uncle''s death lay hidden back of the limpid innocence of those dark, shadowed eyes?
17066What the devil did James, Senior, mean by what he had said?
17066What then?"
17066What visit?
17066What was he going to find behind that door?
17066What was he waitin''for?
17066What was it the man knew?
17066What was she doing here?
17066What was she like behind the inscrutable, charming mask of her face?
17066What was that disagreement about?"
17066What was this girl, the sister of Esther McLean, going to tell him and his brother?
17066What would she do if the worst she feared turned out to be true?
17066What you want me for?"
17066What''s a week in your young life?"
17066What''s changed his views?"
17066What''s the big idea?
17066What''s the idea in the mileage?"
17066What''s the matter, man?
17066What''s the need of all them_ ifs_?
17066What''s your hurry?"
17066What''s your reason?"
17066When did you reach town?
17066When he tells what he saw--""Shibo?"
17066Where does he claim he was when he seen it?"
17066Where was he while the police were huntin''for him everywhere?
17066Where was it his nostrils had whiffed the scent more recently?
17066Where would she be going with him?"
17066Where you staying?
17066Where?
17066Which is it?"
17066Who are you, anyhow?
17066Who are you, anyhow?"
17066Who had planned this attempt on his life and so nearly carried it to success?
17066Who is the man?
17066Who was she?
17066Who was the man with her?
17066Who was this man?
17066Who were they lookin''for when they opened the door an''saw me?
17066Who were they?"
17066Who''ll take care of her?"
17066Who, then, had brought these papers here?
17066Why another quarrel?"
17066Why are n''t you frank an''open?
17066Why could n''t she have met him first?
17066Why did James lose the Jap''s confession-- if it was a confession?
17066Why did he get Miss McLean to disappear?
17066Why did he light out so_ pronto_ if he ai n''t in this thing?"
17066Why did you limp when you came in?
17066Why did you steal that record at Golden?
17066Why do n''t you go back to Wyoming and mind your own business?
17066Why do n''t you go to James an''make a clean breast of it?
17066Why do you ask?"
17066Why had he let her go alone, knowing as he did how swift she blazed to passion when wrong was done those she loved?
17066Why had his uncle, who was openly engaged to Phyllis Harriman, married her surreptitiously and kept that marriage a secret?
17066Why not call on them and renew acquaintance?
17066Why should you come to me?"
17066Why was Shibo holding it back?
17066Why were this woman and her husband setting back the clock thirty- five minutes?
17066Why?
17066Why?
17066Why?"
17066Why?"
17066Why?"
17066Will you think it over and let me know what seems right to you?"
17066Wo n''t you-- won''t you--?"
17066Would n''t there be reason enough then to kill him?
17066Would she accept a monetary settlement and avoid the publicity that could only hurt her sister as well as the reputation of the name of Cunningham?
17066Would their story not start a hunt for the woman in the case?
17066Would they arrest him-- or me?"
17066Would to- morrow morning suit you?"
17066Would you like the matter arranged this afternoon?"
17066You did n''t go back, then?"
17066You have it with you?"
17066You were engaged to him, were you not?"
17066You''ll forgive me, wo n''t you?"
17066_ And had he left Horikawa behind him dead on the bed?_"James, white to the lips, looked steadily at his cousin.
17066_ Had James come fresh from the murder of Horikawa_?
17066_ What_ did you say?"
17066about her trouble?"
17066she murmured,"does he usually call in the middle of the night, I wonder?
17066with him?"
20101About the orders? 20101 Ah?"
20101All right so far, but does Red Dog agree to dismount? 20101 And do you mean that they-- that these four, went there to Cresswell''s?
20101And have you reported action yet by wire?
20101And if you meet my boy, you''ll help him? 20101 And it''s Davies''s detail?"
20101And you have never seen your writing- case to this day?
20101And you must go back to Scott to- night, sir?
20101And you wanted to make a soldier of him?
20101And----?
20101Any news from the agency?
20101Anybody come ahead yet from Winthrop?
20101Anything else?
20101Anything you want?
20101Are ye badly hit, Jimmy?
20101Are you agreed?
20101Are you sure you''ve seen or heard nothing?
20101As to what?
20101At your urging or suggestion?
20101Burtis? 20101 But I mean you knew him before that, did you not?"
20101But what about ordering the attendant out?
20101But what do you think of-- of her?
20101But you knew Brannan, did you not?
20101But,_ dear_ Mrs. Davies, is it not very expensive?
20101By the way, major, suppose they do n''t come along, what will you do for breakfast and dinner? 20101 By what right, sir, do you assume to over- ride my authority and undo my orders?
20101Can I be of assistance?
20101Captain who?
20101Could he have been so mad, do you think, as not to have thought of that,--of some one being on that train?
20101Could you give no description of him? 20101 Davies, you remember our locking those papers in this drawer last night?"
20101Did Mr. Sanders say he''d come back here?
20101Did n''t he say what they were pow- wowing about?
20101Did n''t you see anybody with a knife?
20101Did n''t you understand me to say I wanted to hear all about his march as soon as he finished supper?
20101Did they bring you no coffee? 20101 Did you ascertain anything?"
20101Did you come in through the front hall or the back way?
20101Did you have to wake him,--Brannan?
20101Did you hear whether Mr. Sanders had succeeded in arresting the other men?
20101Do n''t you see,he urged, reproachfully,"how very much more they are around us?
20101Do you know anything about that young fellow,--ever meet him before?
20101Do you know anything about the antecedents of that new company clerk of Captain Devers?
20101Do you mean Mr. Davies is wounded?
20101Do you mean----?
20101Do you refuse to obey my orders?
20101Do you suppose they will try to rescue if we arrest him here?
20101Do you suppose they''ll permit it?
20101Do you think it possible that-- that she_ can_ be going there-- with him-- to- night? 20101 Go there with whom?"
20101Going through? 20101 Got any baccy, Jim?"
20101Had he been drinking or in any trouble?
20101Had you never heard of the investigation?
20101Have they found anything?
20101Have you ten horses that can stand a side scout?
20101He belongs here with his troop, so he''s sure to come, and then,she added, archly,"what will poor Willett do?"
20101Heard anything at all?
20101How about Burtis?
20101How are you, major?
20101How can a fellow invite a bride to occupy his one room when he do n''t own C. and G. E. enough to furnish a hen- coop?
20101How can you arrest him in front of all that array?
20101How did you get that?
20101How do you feel, Davies?
20101How is it, sir,demanded Tintop,"that in defiance of my positive orders you allow your herd to go so far away?"
20101How long had they been here, dear?
20101How much is a single berth to Chicago?
20101How was he to get hurt? 20101 I ca n''t see anybody now, can I?"
20101I did n''t fib, did I?
20101I know, sir, and may not that be some of them trying to find us?
20101I? 20101 Is he ally or prisoner of the soldiers?"
20101Is it here?--has it come?
20101Is it not late for them to take him out?
20101Is n''t Davies in yet?
20101Know anything about her? 20101 Mr. Leonard, have charges been preferred against Trooper Howard?"
20101Mrs. Cranston, what do you want to bet y''all go back to Scott inside of a week?
20101Never had any nerve, is it?
20101Now the question is, what''s to be done? 20101 Now, I like that young fellow,"said Mrs. Cranston, folding up the letter,"only I didn''t----""Well, did n''t what?"
20101Now, what on earth are they up to?
20101Preparations? 20101 Remember him?"
20101Sacrificing himself and his profession for the sake of a spoons, is it? 20101 Say, Leonard, who''s that young cit with the swell team who came to take Mrs. Davies sleighing?
20101See any Indians?
20101Sergeant,said he,"what man went through here into the sleeper when we stopped last station?"
20101Shall we turn and ride away?
20101She will be well enough to travel-- when?
20101Stopped it before? 20101 Swear to it?
20101Thank heaven, that''s over, and I have told nothing of any consequence, have I?
20101That does bring us to close quarters, does n''t it?
20101That you, Sanders?
20101That''s all well enough, sir, so far as it goes,growled Captain Canker,"but where do we come in on this campaign?
20101The degradation of-- having to-- authorize the untruth?
20101The ladies? 20101 Then you did n''t go with the purpose of seeing Brannan?"
20101There are your hunters,--two of my best men, Mr. Davies, and who but you is responsible for this?
20101They? 20101 Time she answered it?
20101To whose troop do you suppose your friend Davies has been assigned?
20101Turn and carry the order to the first sergeant at once?
20101Undoubtedly,--but where does Agatha come in?
20101Want to leave anything?
20101Was ever luck worse than this?
20101Was it Mr. Barnard''s proposition or the lawyer''s?
20101Was it the driver you spoke to at the door? 20101 Was that-- my predicament?"
20101We have food, water, ammunition, and a smart chance for more fighting,so what more could soldier ask?
20101Well what?
20101Well, Captain Cranston, what do you think of the letter?
20101Well, did you never appeal to Captain Devers?
20101Well, pardon me, which was right, the papers or the lawyer?
20101Well, then who made this trail up here on the ridge? 20101 Well, then, what does it mean-- your having told the attendant his orders were of no account?"
20101Well, then, you could tell me, could n''t you, how to get my boy there?
20101Well, you certainly went to the hospital?
20101What are we on but a side scout now?
20101What became of Paine?
20101What did he want?
20101What did the old officers say?
20101What do you think now?
20101What do you think of that as an insult to the cavalry?
20101What does he demand?
20101What good would that do? 20101 What has happened?
20101What in God''s name has kept you so long?
20101What is it, lad?
20101What is it?
20101What is it?
20101What is the meaning of this riot?
20101What should I do, captain?
20101What time did you come in to bed last night, Barnickel?
20101What took him off in such a devil of a hurry? 20101 What was it Mr. Sanders said?"
20101What were you about to ask?
20101What will he say or think when he learns the truth? 20101 What''s he doing here?"
20101What''s he want?
20101What''s his name?
20101What''s the matter ahead, anyhow?
20101What''s the matter? 20101 What''s the row, Tommy?"
20101What''s the use of it anyhow?
20101What''s up?
20101What, his mother?
20101When you parted from Devers,asked Cranston one day,"how far was he from the top of the ridge?--how far to the west?"
20101Where are the others?
20101Where are you, Sanders? 20101 Where did you learn?"
20101Where is Charging Bear?
20101Where''s Sanders? 20101 Which was n''t at all what the captain meant you should think, eh?"
20101Who is this-- who have you here?
20101Who would n''t have bet on the bay?
20101Who''s missing there, sergeant?
20101Whose work is this?
20101Why are these soldiers here?
20101Why did n''t you come or speak?
20101Why did n''t you tell me about this at the time, Brannan?
20101Why do n''t they make an earlier start?
20101Why is Thunder Hawk here?
20101Why not?
20101Why on earth could n''t this tortoise have been left to that work and old Whitey given to us?
20101Why,said he,"who''d be ass enough to be marching or drilling with trumpet calls this hour of the night and in the midst of a campaign?"
20101Will you say good- night to her for me and escort her home? 20101 Will you wait one moment?"
20101Wo n''t you have a nip?
20101Would you mind pumping for me?
20101Yes?
20101Yes?
20101You are Paine, of''A''troop, are you not?
20101You could swear to that, Davies? 20101 You dare demand the arrest of Red Dog, do you?"
20101You do n''t?
20101You know your old nurse of last summer, do n''t you?
20101You mean by- and- by when he is old enough?
20101You must have known there could n''t be, did you not?
20101You want how much for these ponies?
20101You''d rather be here than at the agency guard, I fancy, Brannan?
20101You-- went to West Point, did n''t you?
20101You-- you? 20101 _ What!_ Is n''t Davies with you?"
20101''Will you read this, and see if you know what to make of it?''
201015, Gus?"
20101All ready now?"
20101And did you see the look Miss Loomis gave him when he invited her?
20101And how had it fared with Mira and her sympathetic friends at Scott during all these weeks of toil and march and scout?
20101And now Tom Barnard owned all the tenth ward and most of the railroad, did he?
20101And now did you hear any noise,--any footsteps?"
20101And now the questions were, what will Devers do about it?
20101And then Willett implored her to try it with him, and how could she refuse?
20101And what are they,"said Captain Truman,"among so many?
20101And your mother?"
20101Are we never to know one- half year of peace?"
20101Are you ill?"
20101Are you planning already to unload me, as the captain says, on somebody else?"
20101Are you ready, Cranston?"
20101Are you sure about my being assigned to the cavalry?"
20101Are you sure you do n''t know?"
20101Barnard?"
20101But breathes there a woman who can not find excuse for shopping?
20101But if she liked him still better now that the week had wrought its changes, what could be said of his impressions?
20101But she had to talk to somebody, and what was Agatha for?
20101But that band was a host in itself, and why should women weep and mope and mourn-- with music and the dance so easily accessible?
20101But the Davieses, where were they?
20101But who can tell what a day may bring forth?
20101Ca n''t I do?"
20101Ca n''t we do this somehow without bringing on a row?"
20101Can guards or police be sent?"
20101Could they flash all that distance?
20101Could this white- faced soldier read visions and dreams and thoughts?
20101Darling and Mrs. Watson''s going together, mind you, and lunching with their friends?
20101Darling?
20101Davies, have you ever seen a map or sketch of that ground north of Antelope Springs where you had your adventure last September?"
20101Davies?"
20101Davies?"
20101Davies?"
20101Did any one try to knife you?"
20101Did he leave before or after the others?
20101Did he leave no trace?"
20101Did she reach and leave Braska on time?
20101Did you get your man?"
20101Did you see Mrs. Davies this morning?
20101Did you see or hear no one?"
20101Do n''t I know?
20101Do n''t you know he never could have sent all that way for all those roses-- just for me?"
20101Do n''t you want a sleeper?"
20101Do you know him?--Captain Cranston?"
20101Do you know this, Sanders?"
20101Do you mean village, Sanders?"
20101Does he agree to hold his people where they are?
20101Does he go to stables this morning?"
20101Does he understand that if they advance we fire?
20101Does the darn crank think that worn- out men ca n''t go to sleep without it?"
20101Dr. Burroughs wanted at the agency?
20101Ever see her picture?"
20101Evidently it was known that he was ordered to report by telegraph, yet who could have"given it away"?
20101Flight asked,--"Who was it, Katty?"
20101Flight should forget her own vows of secrecy and conclude it time to seek other advice?
20101From Sheridan down, what army officer''s statement has any weight whatever with the Indian Bureau,--when it is n''t what it wants?"
20101Had he overstepped his authority?
20101Had she ever accepted any gifts or letters or anything from Mr. Willett?
20101Had they examined the parlor and sitting- room to see if any one could have been there hidden?
20101Had you never met or known him?"
20101Has n''t anything been heard yet of Sergeant McGrath?"
20101Hastings bade the others a gruff good- evening, silently tendered Mrs. Davies his arm, and led her away with the sole remark"Are n''t we late?"
20101Have I not heard man after man say how his own knees trembled or his comrade''s cheek blanched at the whistle of the first bullets of the battle?
20101Have n''t I the evidence of my own senses,--of the steward and the attendant?
20101Have n''t you been to see him yet?
20101Have we no generous impulses in the army?"
20101Have you a spare half- hour?"
20101Have you had any talk with him about-- about what Captain Truman and Mr. Gray wrote?"
20101Have you had no supper?"
20101Have you no new waltz music for us?"
20101Have you seen Differs?"
20101Heap walk?
20101Here-- just let me out, will you?
20101How could he suspect the dread that lurked behind it,--the artfulness of her effort to escape further questioning?
20101How could he torment her with such unjust suspicions?
20101How dare he insinuate that they had led her to the forbidden shades of Cresswell''s?
20101How dare he say they were responsible for Mrs. Davies''s flirtation?
20101How dare you haul me into this?"
20101How did he come?"
20101How did it happen?"
20101How did you leave her?"
20101How far ahead are they supposed to be, captain?
20101How is he?"
20101How near are we?"
20101How old is your boy?"
20101How was that possible?
20101How''s Hooker?"
20101How''s that, Brannan?"
20101How, then, did you select him to go to town?"
20101Howard was gone before this, but there was Brannan''s writing- case in Haney''s possession, why not throw further suspicion upon him?
20101I''d have to walk both ways, do n''t you see?"
20101If Captain Devers thinks me so bad a soldier, why do n''t he let me transfer?
20101If he cared for Almira why did n''t he say so?
20101If she writes such silly, romantic trash to me, what must n''t she be saying to him?
20101Is it business that can wait until then?"
20101Is it not possible that driving home he may have spoken to her in a way she could not mistake, and that that has had much to do with her prostration?
20101Is it true?"
20101Is n''t it time Mrs. Barnard answered Agatha''s letter?"
20101Is there a doctor along?"
20101Is there anything I can do to help you?"
20101Is there anything peculiar about this Brannan?--any reason why he should be treated by his captain on a different system?"
20101It was Agatha herself who calmly asked,"And when is he to be married?"
20101It was then that Almira was sent for and became Queen Paramount, for when do mothers cease to plan for wayward sons?
20101Just going the rounds?"
20101May I ask how you heard it so soon after your arrival?"
20101May I do so, captain?"
20101Meantime how fared it with the embassy to White Wolf?
20101Mira, junior, had been devoted to society when there before, was it possible she had so soon tired of it all?
20101Mrs. Davies is better, I hope?"
20101No?
20101Nothing more, nothing else at any time?
20101Now, Canker, what is it?"
20101Oh, say, will you do me a favor?
20101Oh, why could n''t she go home to her dear old father and the sisters who loved her, and weep her heart out on her m- m- mother''s grave?
20101Oh, why had they taken Dr. Burroughs away?
20101Oh, why, why had n''t they brought her Percy here?
20101Old Riggs, lieutenant- colonel commanding the Twelfth, had remarked,"So Devers is in your battalion, is he?
20101Other men were abject enough; why should she be lorded over in this way?
20101Ought they not to air it after Sunday- school?"
20101Realizing his own narrow escape and suspecting his unpopularity in the regiment, though little dreaming( which of us does?)
20101Sanders?"
20101Say, are you ready to go back?"
20101See how well it worked?"
20101Seen anything more of your midnight antagonist?"
20101Shall I never hear from you again?"
20101She has never called on me, has she?"
20101So long as she was perfectly innocent of wrong intent how could people-- how dare people rebuke her?
20101That you?
20101The attendant should have returned at once, but----""Well, did n''t you undertake to administer brandy?"
20101The only trouble was, could they set fire to the stockade at night?
20101The regulations say the first orderly hour, do n''t they?"
20101Then it is useless to ask just now what you know of his past?"
20101Then the chaplain spoke again,--"You will write-- as soon as-- you have decided?"
20101Then, may I not call and see you later?"
20101There is no lie at my expense their interpreters would n''t tell the inspectors, and against so many witnesses what could I do?"
20101There was a moment of intense silence, a look as of awe on many a face, then came the question from one who knew not Devers:"Killed himself?"
20101They sort of had to go there, do n''t you see?"
20101They were amazed, yet what could they do or say?
20101Think you understand?"
20101Turn over there, wo n''t you?"
20101Up for all day and meditating a sermon?"
20101Was Mr. Davies aboard or-- anybody else to meet her?
20101Was all the valley already aware of this shameful flight?
20101Was he a medicine- man?
20101Was it appeal for help or lure to ambush?
20101Was n''t it the proper thing, really, for him to call and inquire for her?"
20101Was the Parson seeking solace where poor Mira always said he would?
20101Was there ever such a streak of hell''s luck as this?
20101We were there several minutes, were we not?"
20101Well, was n''t it unusual for a lady to be going alone?
20101Were n''t you with them?"
20101What I want to know is, who detailed you, and when were you detailed for hospital duty?"
20101What business had he to sigh?
20101What can I get for you?"
20101What can it possibly mean?"
20101What could it mean but that their comrades of the--th were fighting their way back to join them?
20101What did that smoke turn out to be when you got a closer look at it?"
20101What do you say now?"
20101What do you suppose will happen when he and Willett really meet?"
20101What followed?"
20101What had occurred, he asked, to make her feel renewed anxiety, to cause her to seek a cadetship for him?
20101What is the nature of the charges against prisoner Howard?"
20101What is your boy''s regiment?"
20101What is yours?"
20101What kept him, do you suppose?"
20101What kept you?"
20101What made you think of it?"
20101What might not be accomplished in that time?
20101What noises-- what sounds did you hear?"
20101What on earth can he ever have seen in her?"
20101What on earth could she want?
20101What on earth did he choose the infantry for?"
20101What recognition do you suppose Ray will ever get for that feat?
20101What regiment?"
20101What shall we do meantime?"
20101What was that to the tales of tremendous adventure in the land of the Sioux and Apache,--the home of the bear and the buffalo?
20101What will be said of our failure to get into the fight?"
20101What woman can be silent under strong provocation?
20101What woman can patiently abide the personal application of a general rule?
20101What would be her fate if I were to fail her now?
20101What''s that?"
20101What''s up?
20101When did he get here?
20101When did you get back?
20101Where are the other two?"
20101Where did you hear?"
20101Where is the packet you were asked to deliver to my wife?"
20101Where''re you going, Cullen?"
20101Where''s Elk?
20101Who but he would be sounding taps with Indians on every side?
20101Who could say?
20101Who could tell whether man or woman was left to forward word of any kind?
20101Who knows but that her story may be true, despite indications?
20101Who was the man who came in here, corporal?"
20101Who was to receive and entertain the new- comers until they were able to furnish and move into their own quarters?
20101Who''s that with Sanders?"
20101Whose knife?"
20101Why am I singled out for punishment?
20101Why did n''t you say he''d gone, instead of keeping us waiting here?"
20101Why do n''t you and Miss Loomis go over there and cheer her up sometimes?
20101Why do n''t you speak, sir?"
20101Why should he sit there sighing in that absurd fashion?
20101Why should he speak of catching anybody or anything?
20101Why, Sanders, what are you saying?
20101Why, what on earth have you been doing ever since you came up to the post?"
20101Will you kindly order a carriage?"
20101Will you kindly wait here and watch the front and this side while I beat up the rear?"
20101Will you not tell your captain and me the real cause?"
20101Will you ride with me and turn Red Dog back?"
20101Will you see that Mrs. Davies gets this before to- night?"
20101Wo n''t you lunch and dine with us to- morrow and talk over plans?
20101Would McPhail approve?
20101Would you declare that Howard did not wield the knife that slashed you-- but was meant for Lieutenant Davies?"
20101Would you go-- should I go to see her?"
20101You can haul Devers before a court, but what can we do with these women?"
20101You could never have wronged him,--what on earth has set him against you?"
20101You do n''t mean Captain Devers?"
20101You do n''t mean she-- my wife-- had been there before?"
20101You remember it distinctly-- despite your illness?"
20101You were going to tell Captain Tibbetts about that affair of last night,--that other soldier''s coming in here, were you not?"
20101You''ll be a friend to him?"
20101_ Was_ he an old friend of her''s, and_ did_ he send and beg her to come to him?"
20101and what will Davies say when he hears what Devers has done?
20101and will you not dine with us?
20101but"what has he done to benefit the party?"
20101ein offizier?"
20101heap hungry?"
20101mutters little Sanders, lunging along after his major,"why ai n''t I with my own instead of loafing here?"
20101said he,"if they left last night what could they do but take this train?"
20101so soon?"
20101when was this made?"
13937''Do you want me to stay?'' 13937 Ahuh?
13937Ai n''t you tired, Wils?
13937Air you agoin''to handle stock or chase coyotes?
13937An'', Wils, will you rise above hate?
13937An''I reckon you''ll say you had n''t heerd he was there?
13937An''because I''ve been through so much I can tell you what''ll help you.... Lass, if a woman is n''t big an''brave, how will a man ever be? 13937 An''he did n''t offer to give you up to Wils Moore?"
13937An''is it so, Columbine, that you''re to marry Jack Belllounds?
13937An''talked with him?
13937An''whar''s it now?
13937An''what else?
13937An''what was thet?
13937And now, dear Ben-- what have you got for me? 13937 And the time you ate my pie, and how I got even by tearing off your little dress, so you had to run home almost without a stitch on?"
13937And where''s Ben?
13937And you accuse me before this man who saved my life, who_ knows_ me-- before Hell- Bent Wade?
13937And you want to be all that for me?
13937Any friends lookin''after him?
13937Are n''t you going to speak to a fellow?
13937Are those your cattle down in the valley?
13937Are you a good man with dogs an''guns?
13937Are you a pup or a wolf that you grab for it? 13937 Are you asking me?"
13937Are you friends with Moore?
13937Are you goin''to confide in me-- as you used to?
13937Are you goin''to make Collie marry Jack?
13937Are you making fun of me?
13937Are you runnin''my family?
13937Are you strong enough to bear another shock, my lass, an''bear it now-- so to make an end-- so to- morrer we can begin anew?
13937Aw, now, what''re friends fer but to go to?... 13937 Been ridin''ag''in''the wind, hey?
13937Before this sheriff and your father you accuse me of stealing cattle?
13937Belllounds, has anybody told you about Wils Moore bein''bad hurt?
13937Belllounds, will you take a day to think it over?
13937Ben, are you crazy?
13937Ben, ought I not go back to Wilson right now?
13937Ben, you mean he-- he saw us up there in the grove? 13937 Ben?
13937Bent Wade, did you come over calkilated to git skinned?
13937Bent, what do you make of thet?
13937Bent?
13937Boss, I''m tellin''you--"Wade, you ai n''t agoin''to start thet tellin''hell- bent happenin''s to come hyar at White Slides?
13937Buster Jack did n''t break off with you, Collie?
13937Buster, did you ever think you''d get her kisses-- as Wils''s gettin''right now?
13937But did n''t you never hear of him? 13937 But he can''t-- he wo n''t go?"
13937But oh, Ben-- you do n''t mean that Wilson would be so base-- so cowardly?
13937But tell me-- what did you tell her?
13937But what could we expect? 13937 But what for?
13937But what will you do? 13937 But why?
13937But you seen Moore?
13937But, Miss Collie, how''d it come off? 13937 But, boy, how could I fetch you anything without fetching myself?"
13937But-- Oh, Wilson, what can I say? 13937 But_ did_ you?"
13937Ca n''t you guess?
13937Ca n''t you move?
13937Can I fetch you anything to eat-- or read?
13937Cap, did you know Buster Jack accused my friend, Wils Moore, of stealin''these cattle you''re sellin''?
13937Collie is game in most ways, but she''d never kill anythin''.... Wade, you ai n''t thinkin''she ought to stop them lonesome walks an''rides?
13937Collie told us some interestin''news about Jack, did n''t she? 13937 Collie, do you think marryin''Buster Jack will stop his bustin''out?"
13937Collie, if you love me, how can you marry Jack Belllounds?
13937Collie, then you''re not agoin''back on the ole man?
13937Collie,_ why?_ For God''s sake, explain why you will shame your womanhood and ruin me-- all for that coward-- that thief?
13937Collie,_ why?_ For God''s sake, explain why you will shame your womanhood and ruin me-- all for that coward-- that thief?
13937Collie-- how about-- your own soul?
13937Columbine, do you know where Jack Belllounds has been for these three years?
13937Could n''t you help yourself with your left hand?
13937Could n''t you see how like steel Collie was?... 13937 Dad, What''d Jack do to- day?"
13937Dad-- did-- did your son come?
13937Did n''t it occur to Jack to take me to Kremmling? 13937 Did n''t you know I come to kill you?"
13937Did you ever see Belllounds''s son?
13937Did you go thar to see her?
13937Did you hear about the argyment this mawnin''?
13937Did you hear-- anything?
13937Did you hurt it on him?
13937Did you kick_ me?_he shouted.
13937Did you know we had a new man up at the ranch?
13937Did you meet the boss''s son?
13937Did you say he was a spoiled boy an''thet he was no good an''was headin''plumb fer hell?
13937Did you want him to do thet?
13937Did you work?
13937Do they all know where I''ve been?
13937Do they hint that Wilson is a rustler?
13937Do you doubt my-- my good intentions toward you-- my love for you?
13937Do you happen to have a hunk of deer meat? 13937 Do you know marryin''him will_ kill_ her?"
13937Do you mean you''d want us to marry soon?
13937Do you really love me--_love_ me?
13937Do you remember long ago-- when we quarreled so dreadfully-- because you kissed me?
13937Do you see an enemy in me?
13937Do you smoke?
13937Do you think I could kiss_ you_--and live to forget?
13937Do you think any cattleman in these hills would believe Wils Moore a rustler?
13937Do you think you can lick me-- after where you''ve been these three years?
13937Do_ you_ know where he has been?
13937Does he?
13937Does my father own him or do you own him?
13937Eat? 13937 Ever been to Middle Park?
13937Expect me to_ marry_ some girl? 13937 Funny how things turn out, is n''t it?"
13937Has he any family?
13937Have n''t you got something to drink?
13937Have they been hunted any?
13937Have you heard any news from down below?
13937Have you seen Jack this morning?
13937Have you sold any stock?
13937Have you told your folks of your accident?
13937He is, is he?
13937He''ll not be crippled or-- or club- footed, then?
13937Hey, Belllounds, will you give me a lift with this meat?
13937Hey?
13937How about Old Bill?
13937How about a lookin''-glass?
13937How are you, Wils?
13937How are you?
13937How bad?
13937How can you love Jack Belllounds? 13937 How can you?
13937How do you know what I can do?
13937How do you know?
13937How far to White Slides?
13937How old is she now?
13937How on earth can you prevent it? 13937 How''s this bunk suit you?"
13937How_ could_ you tell me such a horrible story?
13937Hyar, you Jack Belllounds,said Lem,"could n''t you see Wils was n''t packin''no gun?
13937I reckon you expect me to?
13937I''m respectin''you fer what you say.... An''now,_ when_ will you marry him?
13937If she_ were_ your real daughter-- your own flesh an''blood-- an''Jack Belllounds was_ my_ son, would you let her marry him?
13937Is he around?
13937Is he the only child?
13937Is he your horse?
13937Is n''t that funny? 13937 Is that cowboy here yet?
13937It is just queer I can never remember.... An''how was he to- day?
13937It was you-- wasn''t it?
13937It''s a long time till August thirteenth.... An''now tell me, why did Old Bill run when he saw me comin''?
13937Jealous?... 13937 Jim, if I answer fer Wils Moore bein''in Kremmlin''the day you say, will you leave him with me?"
13937Know Belllounds? 13937 Lass, would you give much for a little note from Wils?"
13937Leave him to you? 13937 Lem, why is this the last job I''ll ever boss you boys?"
13937Let me see-- what?
13937Made you tired, hey? 13937 Me?
13937Me? 13937 Me?
13937Mean it? 13937 Meet any of the boys?
13937Might I throw my pack here?
13937Miss Collie, air you- all goin''to sit up thar?
13937Montana, ai n''t thet Sheriff Burley from Kremmlin''?
13937Montana, what do you say?
13937Moore, what do them tracks look like to you?
13937Moore, will you get off your hoss?
13937Never told you what? 13937 No nerve, hey?
13937No? 13937 No?
13937No? 13937 Now are there any more you know are good?"
13937Now, Wade, are you connectin''up them strangers with the stock I missed on this last round- up?
13937Now, whar''s the boy?
13937Oh, Ben-- shall I be able to hold onto this?
13937Oh,_ you_ wo n''t?
13937On what grounds do you accuse me?
13937Pard, what do you think? 13937 Pard, you wouldn''t-- you could n''t expect me to-- to forgive him?"
13937Queer? 13937 Reckon you do n''t need either advice or friend, hey?"
13937Reckon you have n''t been leavin''any tracks up Buffalo Park way?
13937Reckon you''re Blair an''I''m nigh the headwaters of this river?
13937Sad? 13937 Say, Bent, you''re shore goin''to see what''s up?"
13937Say, Wade, are you growing dotty? 13937 Say, Wils, are you writin''a book?"
13937Say, do you know hounds?
13937Say, do you mean anything?... 13937 Say, maybe I overlooked somethin''?
13937Say, what''re you giving me? 13937 Shame?"
13937Slick with cards, eh?
13937So hyar you are again?... 13937 Soon?"
13937Stranger, air you packin''through or goin''to stay?
13937Take one.... Do you like them?
13937Talk what over?
13937Tell you? 13937 Then he wants to see me-- so badly?"
13937Then how can you expect my consent to her marriage with your son?
13937Then how could you marry him?
13937Then why is n''t his sincerity and good work to be permanent?
13937Then you''ll think before it''s too late?
13937Then you''ve weakened? 13937 Then, Lem-- you have n''t heard about the fight yesterday between Jack and Wilson Moore?"
13937Then, man, what on earth''s happened?
13937This what, lass?
13937Time? 13937 To- day, when Wade came with your letter, he asked me, sort of queer,''Say, Wils, do you know how many letters I''ve fetched you from Collie?''
13937Wade, I reckon you want to go fetch Wils?
13937Wade, have you seen Jack?
13937Wade, was n''t you takin''a lot on yourself?
13937Wade, what do you mean?
13937Wade, what''s the matter with Jack?
13937Wade, you''ll do thet on your own hook?
13937Wade, you''re afraid I''ll kill him?
13937Wade, you''re packin''off, then, on the trail? 13937 Wade?...
13937Wal, Miss Collie, air you- all still hangin''round this hyar ranch?
13937Wal, are you lyin''?
13937Wal, might I ask what you''re figgerin''on?
13937Wal, what do you want?
13937Wal, what''s wanted?
13937Wal,_ did_ you see him?
13937We won it, did n''t we?
13937We''ll help you, but how?
13937Well, Buster Jack, what''s the charge?
13937Well, could you have a better? 13937 Well, if you work hard for dad, learn to handle the cowboys, and never take up those old bad habits--""You mean drink and cards?
13937Well, if you''d give so much for a note, how much would you give me for a whole bookful that took Wils two hours to write?
13937Well, now you''ve waylaid me, what do you want?
13937Well, well, an''so you kissed ugly old Bent Wade?
13937Well, what do you know about it?
13937Were n''t you a sad flatterer in your day?
13937Were you livin''in Kremmlin''when Belllounds adopted the girl?
13937Wha- at?... 13937 Whar you from?"
13937What are you doing up here? 13937 What cattle did you say?"
13937What did he say? 13937 What difference?"
13937What do I care for you or your gabby talk?
13937What do a lot of cow- punchin''fellars know about dogs? 13937 What do you make that bluff for?"
13937What do you mean by that?
13937What does he-- want to see me-- for?
13937What ever could he have meant? 13937 What for?
13937What for?
13937What happened?
13937What happened?
13937What has Wilson Moore done-- that you''ll do right by him?
13937What in hell do I care for Wade?
13937What in the world?
13937What is it, boy?
13937What is that?
13937What of that?
13937What on?
13937What the hell''s goin''on?
13937What the hell?
13937What was it?
13937What was that-- a trick-- a game-- a play all fixed up for my benefit?
13937What were you jealous of?
13937What''d he do?
13937What''d this cowboy say to you?
13937What''d you bring me?
13937What''d you come for?
13937What''d you leave fer?
13937What''ll we make the limit?
13937What''ll your dad say?
13937What''re you hidin''?... 13937 What''re you mad at?"
13937What''re you scentin'', Fox, old boy?
13937What''re your names?
13937What''s a biped?
13937What''s funny about thet?
13937What''s his name?
13937What''s that?
13937What''s the girl''s name?
13937What''s the good to tell you now?
13937What''s the matter, Jack? 13937 What''ve you been crying about?"
13937What? 13937 What?"
13937Where are the boys this morning?
13937Where are you going?
13937Where is dad?
13937Where''d you ride?
13937Where''s dad?
13937Where''ve you been?
13937Where''ye you been?
13937Where?
13937Which ones?
13937Who put you on that trail?
13937Who runs the other hotel?
13937Who says you could n''t?
13937Who the hell are_ you?_... 13937 Who was riding?
13937Who''n hell is thet man?
13937Who''re you, an''what d''ye want?
13937Who''re you?
13937Who''s been in here?
13937Who-- who will take care of you?
13937Who?
13937Why August thirteenth?
13937Why must you?
13937Why not put Wilson Moore in charge of the hounds? 13937 Why not, I''d like to know?"
13937Why not, dad?
13937Why not, lass?
13937Why not? 13937 Why not?
13937Why not?
13937Why not?
13937Why, Ben, where are you going?
13937Why, Collie? 13937 Why, I''d like to know?"
13937Why, may I ask?
13937Why? 13937 Why?
13937Why? 13937 Why?"
13937Why?
13937Why?
13937Will you get off that horse?
13937Will you go in?
13937Will you put Jack in charge of your ranches, now?
13937Wils, did n''t you like me any more after dad said that?
13937Wils, now ai n''t that queer?
13937Wils, what''s the trouble?
13937Wils, you call me pard, do n''t you? 13937 Wils, you''re buyin''stock right along?"
13937Wilson Moore, do you mean it?
13937Wilson, why have you been different lately?
13937Wilson, will you avoid him-- for my sake?
13937Wilson, you think then-- you believe Jack will last-- will stick to his new ways?
13937Wilson, you''ll be going-- home-- soon-- to Denver-- won''t you?
13937Wo n''t Old Bill make a kick?
13937Wo n''t it change you to know that if you force this marriage you''ll lose all?
13937Would I? 13937 Would n''t Old Bill object to this card- playin''?"
13937Would n''t it be better to wait awhile?
13937Would n''t young Belllounds object to me?
13937Would you want to take me without my-- my love?
13937You acquainted with Belllounds?
13937You ca n''t put that-- that foot in a stirrup, can you?
13937You did n''t go to meet Wilson Moore?
13937You did n''t pick on this hyar crippled boy?
13937You do n''t beat dogs?
13937You do n''t love Collie, then?
13937You do n''t want me, then?
13937You found it for me, did n''t you? 13937 You like stories?"
13937You mean I lie?
13937You mean it?
13937You mean the hunter, Hell- Bent Wade?
13937You mean your young pard an''two- bit of a rustler-- Wils Moore?
13937You must-- you will?
13937You object to my playin''?
13937You see how quick dad''s ready to jump me? 13937 You think Collie''d fear you?"
13937You think I''m pretty, then?
13937You were a little devil.... Do you remember the fight I had with Moore-- about you?
13937You''ll give me the job?
13937You''ll not agree again? 13937 You-- never-- liked Jack?"
13937You-- you want me to fight you?
13937You_ know_ that?
13937_ Collie!_... Did you come to see me?
13937_ You love him?_he asked, very low, incredulously, with almost insane eagerness for denial in his query.
13937''An''now you''re hyar-- what''s thet mean?''
13937''How''n hell can I believe you?''
13937''What do you mean by askin''me thet?''
13937A good angel?
13937After all, what did it matter to her?
13937Ai n''t that more queer talk?"
13937Always on the go, eh?"
13937Am I only locoed, or flighty, or what?
13937Am I to blame?
13937An''I''ll gamble you''ll learn it.... Wade, have you changed or grown old thet you let a pup like this yap such talk?"
13937An''I''ve loved her, for all they say I could n''t see aught but Jack.... You''ll take her away from me?"
13937An''beautiful, too, as you say.... Who knows?
13937An''do you still say that to me-- are you still insistin''he ai n''t in love with you?"
13937An''it''s shore you?"
13937An''last, can you handle guns?
13937An''the best friends I ever made were men I''d helped.... What wages do you ask?"
13937An''thet''s homesteadin''the Sage Creek Valley?"
13937And I''m snowed in?"
13937And did n''t want you to tell me?
13937And how''s Wils?"
13937And what''s a matter of a week or a month?"
13937And what''s the use to hoard it?
13937And when the cowboy had dismounted and limped aside the sheriff continued,"Is this the hoss you ride most?"
13937And why should I heap trouble upon my shoulders?"
13937And would he not think that weakness strange?
13937And you lay in wait for me, behind the house, to hit me with a rotten cabbage?"
13937Are any of these hounds recommended?"
13937Are n''t you well?"
13937Are you a preacher masquerading here as hunter?
13937Are you afraid-- or ashamed to be with me alone?"
13937Are you feeling ill?"
13937Are you still in the saddle, Collie?
13937Are you sure you heard a shot before?"
13937Are you thet sure now?"
13937Bad news?"
13937Ben, what have you got for me?"
13937Buster Jack shy at gamblin''with you?
13937Buster Jack, why do n''t you finish game?
13937But am I all to blame?
13937But how could I send word to you?"
13937But how could you tell Collie she''d never have to marry Buster Jack?"
13937But how?
13937But if it did that to me_ what_ did it do to dad?
13937But let me forget that.... How are you?
13937But what are prayers?
13937But what good would that do?"
13937But what''s the use for you to roar at me or for me to reproach you?
13937But what''s your game?"
13937But what_ am_ I writing?
13937But who''re you?"
13937But who''s going to take care of you and your stock until you can work again?"
13937But why not tell dad?
13937But why should he yell that he knew I wanted to see Wilson?...
13937But would n''t it be easier on me to take a drink now and then, at these bad times?''...
13937But, first, I''m askin''you-- an''if this talk hurts, I''m sorry-- why do n''t you give some of your love for your no- good Buster Jack to Collie?"
13937But_ now!_... How can you look at that-- that club- foot, and not swear?"
13937Ca n''t you hear Ben Wade say that?
13937Ca n''t you keep cool?"
13937Ca n''t you recognize what''s comin''?...
13937Ca n''t you see that?
13937Ca n''t you understand?
13937Ca n''t you?"
13937Can we do more?"
13937Can you get up into your saddle like you used to?
13937Can you hunt?"
13937Can you ride well again?...
13937Collie, is n''t this great?
13937Columbine and me?"
13937Columbine, are you lyin''to me?"
13937Could I be mistaken?
13937Could he not see her hands trembling?
13937Could you have been so innocent-- so blind you never knew?
13937Did I choose my life?"
13937Did I ever oppose anythin''you wanted to do?"
13937Did any boy and girl ever before so need a friend?
13937Did he bust out?"
13937Did he save Pronto?...
13937Did n''t Wils always get ory- eyed when any of the other boys shined up to you?"
13937Did n''t he prove to you what he was when he jumped on me and kicked my broken foot till I fainted?...
13937Did n''t you think of that?"
13937Did you finally notice me?...
13937Did you hear?"
13937Did you know that?"
13937Did you mean you''d been through the Park?"
13937Did you take my money?"
13937Do n''t you bust everything you monkey with?
13937Do n''t you know the flower?
13937Do they call it that?"
13937Do you and Collie want to take me at my word?''
13937Do you happen to hev some terbaccer?
13937Do you know for sure whether you bought any good dogs?"
13937Do you know him?"
13937Do you know him?"
13937Do you like him so much?"
13937Do you remember Columbine?"
13937Do you remember the time I pushed you into the old mud- hole?
13937Do you savvy?...
13937Do you see that?"
13937Do you think I would make fun of you?
13937Do you think I''m up to trying one of those broncs?"
13937Do you think Jack will stand to his colors?
13937Do you think he''s all right, now?"
13937Do you understand what that means?"
13937Do you want me?"
13937Do you want to try?"
13937For what reason, my friend?"
13937For what?"
13937Had he not wanted such trust-- had he not invited it?
13937Had it ever shone there before?
13937Had she promised that?
13937Has Moore ever made love to you?"
13937Hate of whom?"
13937Have you no sense?
13937Have you picked up any unbranded stock?"
13937He wins the girl?"
13937He_ was_ more than that-- not long ago.... What has he done?
13937Hey, Collie?"
13937Hey?"
13937How about askin''''em?"
13937How are you, boy?"
13937How can you love him?"
13937How can you save a bad egg?
13937How could she feel hard toward him?
13937How d''ye do?
13937How do you handle a rifle?"
13937How was Wilson going to take the news of this forced change about to come in her life?
13937How would Columbine take this plot against the honor and liberty of Wilson Moore?
13937How would Moore himself react to it?
13937How''d thet come about?"
13937How''s tricks?"
13937I only wanted to say how queer you look.... Are you going to be married with one eye?"
13937I saw all that-- didn''t I?"
13937I was ridin''in by the storehouse....''Who the hell are you?''
13937I wish I had all happy ones, instead of them black, croakin''ones that come like ravens.... Well, you''re better to- day?"
13937I''m an old fool about wimmen, hey?
13937I''ve asked you before, but you wouldn''t-- Tell us now, do you believe Buster Jack will live up to his new ideals?"
13937I-- I''ve lain awake at night-- Oh, was he hurt?"
13937If Buster Jack gets away with his trick-- if he does n''t hang himself by some blunder or fit of temper or spree-- what then of Collie?"
13937If he did, why had he not said so?
13937If it''d been an ornery hoss, now.... Moore, how''d this happen?"
13937Is Collie dead?"
13937Is he still makin''up to you?"
13937Is n''t he splendid?
13937Is n''t it strange, I ca n''t hurt anything myself or bear to see even a steer slaughtered?
13937Is n''t that great?...
13937Is n''t that strange, now?
13937Is that any wonder, you-- you darling-- when I''ve been so scared you''d never have me?
13937Is that so?"
13937Is there any sense in the talk thet wherever you land there''s hell to pay?"
13937Is your dad in?"
13937It''s only--""What do n''t I understand?"
13937Jack said the mustang was his--""His?"
13937Jack, you''ll not buck ag''in''this deal?"
13937Jest works out natural.... Had you any grudge ag''in''Smith?"
13937Lem, was it you?
13937Love Wilson Moore?
13937May I peep in?"
13937Me?
13937Me?
13937Me?
13937Me?"
13937Moved in?"
13937Must she submit to that?
13937My friend,_ how_ can you prevent it?"
13937Never drink-- never gamble-- never fly off the handle again?"
13937Now, what''s doin''?"
13937Oh, why put it off?
13937Oh, you''re not going to leave White Slides?"
13937Once more, will you be game?"
13937Once outside she squeezed his hand and whispered,"How''s Wilson?"
13937Only a man does n''t know till after.... An''how are you, Collie?"
13937Pard, you remember the agreement we made not long ago?"
13937Reckon you''ll put up here to- night?"
13937Savvy?"
13937Savvy?...
13937Saw me in Wilson''s arms-- saw me kissing him?"
13937Say, can I go hunting with you?"
13937Say, pard, are you worrying about this two- bit rustler work that''s been going on?"
13937She loves me-- still?"
13937So he imagines I do n''t love him any more?
13937So that''s your revenge?...
13937So you was offerin''him advice an''friendship?"
13937So, then, it''s settled?"
13937Stranger, will you put up your hosses an''stay?"
13937Suppose you let me take a shot at that post?"
13937Surely you ca n''t work-- not so soon?"
13937That you were my girl?"
13937That''s the secret?...
13937Then you''ve got a heap to say?''
13937Then, changing the subject, she asked,"Wilson, you''re going to stay here-- winter here, dad would call it?"
13937There by the old cabin built by prospectors?"
13937There''s been some rustlin''of cattle, an a big loss from wolves an''lions an''poison- weed.... What d''you say, son?"
13937Think you''re funny?
13937To go crying for them when I got in trouble?
13937Wade, do you play poker?"
13937Wade, if you could live yours over again, knowin''what you know now, an''that you''d love an''suffer the same-- would you want to do it?"
13937Wade, what''re you doin''up in these diggin''s?"
13937Wal, I was scared fust, harkin''back to Indian days, an''then I was mad because I figgered Jack was up to mischief.... Did you fetch in the meat?"
13937Wal, an''now I''ve onlightened him, what''s the next deal?"
13937Wal, are you sure you do n''t like him more''n you ought-- considerin''what''s in the wind?"
13937Wal, every dog has his day.... What''re you needin''to fix this bunk comfortable like?"
13937Wal, how''s the boy?"
13937Wal, supposin''she rode up out of the valley, west on the Black Range?"
13937Wal, what was Jim hidin''it fer?"
13937Wal, who''s this Wils Moore?"
13937Was it fair, taking him as boys come?"
13937Was that-- why?"
13937Was there any reason for following Belllounds farther?
13937Was this only a nightmare?
13937Well, not yet.... An''how''s Jack Belllounds actin''these days?"
13937Well, suppose you''re not?
13937Well, tell me about it?"
13937Well, then, what of Collie?"
13937Whar''d we git it?"
13937What ailed her, Bent?"
13937What are promises or oaths to Jack Belllounds?"
13937What avail were Wade''s good offices, his spiritual teaching, his eternal hope in the order of circumstances working out to good?
13937What can I do fer you?"
13937What do you want?"
13937What else could I do?
13937What for?
13937What happened?
13937What is it?"
13937What kind of work had he done, if he told the truth?
13937What might come of the telling?
13937What of Collie?"
13937What other horse could I ride?
13937What should he tell Moore-- what should he conceal from him?
13937What then?
13937What would Jack Belllounds insist upon?
13937What''d you care fer my learnin''thet pup had double- crossed me?
13937What''d you expect of a cowboy who''d crippled himself-- and lost his girl?"
13937What''d you think?"
13937What''ll you bet?"
13937What''n hell are you doin''?"
13937What''re you wantin''me to tell Belllounds?"
13937What''s it fer?"
13937What''s the use of me denying that-- any more-- just because I love dad?...
13937What''s this trouble you had with Jack?
13937What''s your special brand of work?"
13937What?
13937What?"
13937Whatever possessed you to say that?"
13937Where had vanished all her wonderful spirit?
13937Where is Ben?"
13937Where is she?"
13937Where was her strength?
13937Where''d he come from, Belllounds?"
13937Where''s all that feeling you seemed to have for me?
13937Who was he, anyhow?"
13937Who''s in the outfit I know?"
13937Who''s to tell him when all this comes out?
13937Who, then?"
13937Who?
13937Who?"
13937Why are you here?"
13937Why ca n''t you be?
13937Why ca n''t you stick to anythin''?"
13937Why did she hesitate over that natural query from Jack Belllounds?
13937Why do you want to kill me?
13937Why is it all wrapped up?"
13937Why not soon?"
13937Why not?"
13937Why should you kick on yours?"
13937Why was it that she could not feel in him what she liked in Jim Montana or Lem or Wilson Moore?
13937Why was she at the mercy of strange, quick, unfamiliar sensations?
13937Why?
13937Will you marry Jack or not?"
13937Will you try?"
13937Will you?"
13937Wils, were you unhappy?"
13937With you rantin''hell- bent for election?
13937Wo n''t I make the outfit wild?
13937Would he imagine her purpose in coming there?
13937Would it have made any difference?"
13937Would n''t it be better-- safer, to settle it all-- once and forever?"
13937Yet how could she tell her troubles to him?
13937You callin''me thet?"
13937You do n''t reckon them strangers will winter in the woods?"
13937You know Smith?"
13937You might find out afterward and hate me.... Do you have any idea where I''ve been these last three years?"
13937You recollect him?"
13937You remember I meant to scare Buster Jack within an inch of his life?
13937You say Jack has n''t been in to- day?"
13937You should have.... Wilson, do you intend to stay here with the Andrews?"
13937You sure hated me.... Columbine, have you outgrown that?"

16530By the way, how are you fixed financially?
16530By the way, how would you like to take a ride with me, next Thursday?
16530Ca n''t you tell him I kin travel?"
16530Can you git that straight?"
16530Could Montoya let him have a blanket until he had earned enough money to buy one?

16530Got any of your own money on you?"
16530Got the makin''s?"
16530Had he not always been faithful?
16530Had he not said so?
16530Had not the papers said that Peter Annersley was a hired gunman of The Spider''s?
16530Had the stranger made a get- away that would bring a posse to Showdown-- as the Mexican had intimated?
16530Had they heard the news?
16530Have you any friends who might-- er-- use their influence?
16530He had supposed that Gary and Cotton were by this time tracking the strayed horses toward the T- Bar- T."Where''s Cotton?"
16530He''s fightin''the bit, and first thing you know--""I''ll git pitched, eh?
16530Hev you been drinkin''?"
16530How are you goin''to''know I''ll talk straight or lie to you?
16530How could he hold them that Brevoort might have more time?
16530How could one know that this man risked his life in coming there?

16530I hooked up with you''cause I kinda thought--""Si?"
16530I just wonder how Pete is makin''it?"
16530I paid Roth for that gun I swiped--""You steal the gun?"
16530I quit when we started for Sanborn-- and what did we run into?
16530I reckon I ought to kill somebody--""A lion, Bill?
16530I suppose you are aware that it is illegal to carry concealed weapons inside the city limits?"
16530I suppose you''ll say next that you got lost and thought the Concho was over this way?"
16530I was bit by a spider onct--""A spider, eh?
16530In a gun- fight?
16530In raw justice to her-- why_ should_ she care?
16530Is that hotel you was speakin''about open all night?"

16530Now what do I do?"
16530Now what you done to yourself, William?"
16530Now you''d think a whole lot of me if I was to ride off and forgit all about what Malvey done?"
16530Now, mebby you could tell me which way Malvey was headed?"
16530Of what are you thinking, señor?"
16530Oh, this is Miss Gray talking?
16530Or did my hoss pitch me-- and I''m dreamin''--back there on the flat?
16530Or was it yesterday morning?
16530Pardners stick, do n''t they?

16530Say, do you know we''re takin''a whole lot of trouble for a man that would n''t lift a hand to keep us from bein''sent up?"
16530Say, how''ll you swap?"
16530Say, is it you?
16530She''ll ask you right quick where you got''em, eh?"
16530Should he speak, or keep silent?
16530So Bailey give you a job, eh?"
16530So old Flores had other horses in the cañon?
16530So the boy had taken a hand in the fight?
16530So this old- timer who paid so well was going to take a whirl at the game?
16530So you aim to even up, eh?"
16530Suppose Gary did lead that raid on ole man Annersley?
16530Supposin''we get caught?
16530That Blue Smoke''way over there?
16530That boy your boy?"
16530That evening Annersley missed him and called,"What you doin'', pardner?"
16530That so?
16530The Spider, or Arguilla''s bunch, or you or me?
16530The head- nurse was having supper, and should the caller be allowed in after visiting hours?
16530The officers read the letter, one gazing over the other''s shoulder,"Who''s this Jim Bailey, anyhow?"
16530Them saddle- bags buckled?"
16530Then after five weeks you was to git a dollar, eh?"
16530Then say I was to charge you two dollars for what you et?"
16530Then,"what in hell was_ your_ idea?"
16530There was a girl there-- Boca Dulzura-- or had he dreamed of such a girl?
16530This ai n''t no orphan asylum, but-- well, anyhow-- did you size up the rig he''s sportin''?"
16530To make matters worse-- for himself-- Pete asked that exceedingly irritating and youthful question,"Why?"
16530Two- eighteen?
16530Want to see it?"
16530Want to take a little pasear with me?"
16530Want''em?"
16530Was Pete so stupid that he did not realize why she had ridden to Showdown?
16530Was he not a partner in pop''s homestead?
16530Was you goin''somewhere?"
16530Was you in the gun- fight when The Spider got bumped off?"
16530Was you scared you would n''t get your share if you fetched it home?
16530We''ll split her even-- and who''s goin''to say we did n''t earn it?"
16530Well, it''s to- morrow, ai n''t it?
16530Well, what you goin''to say when I tell you it was me?"
16530Well-- what you grinnin''at, anyhow?

16530White?"
16530Who gits the money?
16530Who is''J.E.''?"
16530Who''s keepin''time on the dog- gone cayuse?"
16530Why did n''t you write to a guy, and say you was comin''?
16530Why did n''t you write?"
16530Why do n''t you git to goin''?
16530Why do n''t you try it yourself?"
16530Why had he done so?
16530Why had the boy come?
16530Why should she write to him?
16530Why, he ai n''t comin''back, is he?"
16530Why, what would she do that for?"
16530Why?"
16530Wo n''t you set down?
16530Wonder why she did n''t put me wise to Malvey when I lit in here with him?
16530Would The Spider give such consent?
16530Would it be all right if he made a visit to the Concho outfit over on the mesa?
16530Would n''t you feel like killin''somebody?"
16530Would you care to leave any message?"
16530Would you mind readin''it-- to yourself-- sometime?"
16530You are a friend of his?"
16530You do n''t happen to have a letter with you, from him, I suppose, do you?"
16530You goin''to pull your freight, Ed?"
16530You gone loco?

10372Shall I put my plug into the barn?
10372Shall I tell you a story?
10372Shall we tell him what sort of a Hades it really is?
10372Shall we walk, boys, or shall I send for my carriage?
10372Since you opened it, to your personal knowledge, have cattle drunk of it?
10372Sleepin''sickness? 10372 So love do n''t go?"
10372Somebody, Gloriana, is about to get married-- eh?
10372Stomach?
10372Suppose we take a look at him?
10372Suppose we talk of something else this lovely day?
10372Sure?
10372Surely,said Ajax gently,"the son was also to blame?"
10372Susan Jane Fullalove,she cried shrilly,"how dare you?"
10372Susan Jane Fullalove? 10372 Ten?"
10372The diptheery?
10372The end?
10372The lords?
10372The question is: Where will you be next week?
10372The what?
10372The widow?

10372Then it wa''n''t a plant? 10372 Then what ails you?"
10372They pull tails there,said Ajax,"but here they pull legs as well-- eh?"
10372Think ye could find yer way out of this?
10372This is a leetle surprise party, ai n''t it?
10372This is your-- dad?
10372Time? 10372 To whom?
10372To work out Comet?
10372Told her so-- hay?
10372Too much water?
10372Twon''t do fer me to look at her,he murmured;"but if ever there was a case----""Eh?"
10372Understands what?
10372Unfit for animal consumption? 10372 Wal,"replied Smoky, more cautiously,"they ai n''t been monkeyin''with me; but if they did----""If they did----?"
10372Wal-- an''what are you a- goin''to do about it?
10372Wal?
10372Wal?
10372Wal?
10372Was that you who fired jest now?
10372Was there no good?
10372Well, you are, are n''t you?
10372Well-- why should he?
10372Well?
10372Whar''s the liver?
10372What air you doin''with that, Jaspar Panel?
10372What brings you here at this time o''night?
10372What brings you here?
10372What business?
10372What can I do for you?
10372What d''ye mean,he continued savagely,"by coming here with this ridic''lous song and dance?
10372What d''ye say, boys?
10372What d''you say?
10372What did the brute say?
10372What did they cost ye?
10372What did ye pay for it? 10372 What did you reply, my buck?"
10372What do you mean to do?
10372What do you say?
10372What do you think he did, Miss Sadie?
10372What does she say?
10372What does the apostle say-- hey? 10372 What have you been thinking about?"
10372What house was yours?
10372What in thunder are you at?
10372What in thunder brought ye to San Lorenzy?
10372What in thunder did ye go to town fer?
10372What is it I smell?
10372What is it?
10372What man would n''t come under such circumstances?
10372What night are you to be initiated?
10372What restrained you?
10372What right have you to come between me and a woman, an ignorant, immoral creature, whose very presence is contamination?
10372What sort o''record?
10372What sorter accommodation?
10372What was you thinkin''of?
10372What were you going to say?
10372What would you suggest, Gloriana,said Ajax,"as suitable for a middle- aged bridegroom?"
10372What''s he worth?
10372What''s path-- ologist?
10372What''s that feller,she always spoke of Leveson as a''feller,''"doin''in a church?"
10372What''s the matter with Pap?
10372What''s the matter with Uncle Jap?
10372What''s the matter with pore old Pap?
10372What''s up?
10372What''s wrong?
10372What?
10372What?
10372Wheer shall I git the dirt from?
10372Wheer''s he goin''?
10372Wheer''s the Chinaman-- Quong?
10372Where is the Professor?
10372Where is this church?
10372Where is your friend?
10372Who can it be?
10372Who else?
10372Who is this Perfessor?
10372Who is this woman?
10372Who said you he d to?
10372Who said you he d to?
10372Who''s a- buyin''oil lakes?
10372Who''s this?
10372Whose picture?
10372Why are you carryin''a gun?
10372Why did he do it?
10372Why do n''t it move?
10372Why do n''t you quit?
10372Why do the innocent suffer for the sins o''the guilty?
10372Why do you do this?
10372Why does n''t the widow sack him?
10372Why not?
10372Why should n''t she marry Uncle Jake? 10372 Why, Lily, what ails ye?"
10372Why, Nal,she said demurely"this ai n''t you?
10372Why, Sissy?
10372Why, what''s the matter with the schoolhouse? 10372 Why, where are you going?"
10372Why,he demanded querulously,"did they not give the lad his full name?"
10372Why?
10372Why?
10372Why?
10372Why?
10372Will you kindly send for my-- for your partner?
10372With what? 10372 Would it be trespassin''too much on yer kindness to ask for three glasses?
10372Would she? 10372 Ye ai n''t tuk a notion that yer goin''to die?"
10372Ye druv in with the widder woman?
10372Ye remember when the old man had the fit in the timer''s box? 10372 Ye''ll ride back and say the old man was skeered-- hey?"
10372Yes, Nal; what is it?
10372You Coon Dogs,continued my brother,"are making this county too hot for the Chinese-- eh?"
10372You ai n''t a- goin''to leave the inlet?
10372You ai n''t a- worryin''about your Pap, air ye? 10372 You ai n''t bin readin''the advertisements o''quack doctors, hev ye?"
10372You ai n''t going to prosecute?
10372You ai n''t seen Mr. Panel, hev you?
10372You are a cowboy, I presume?
10372You are going to attend the wedding?
10372You are not going-- behind?
10372You can take care of her?
10372You claim that you know nothing o''this job?
10372You dare to tell me that you hatched this damnable plot?
10372You do n''t know? 10372 You do n''t say?"
10372You expect me to go with you on this tomfool''s errand?
10372You have a horse runnin'', Mister Roberts?
10372You have come to arrest-- Dad?
10372You have never spoken to her, you say?
10372You have never, I believe, been on a spree?
10372You have?
10372You knew Whistler?
10372You mean that I ai n''t a man?
10372You mean that if we drink that water we shall be polished off?
10372You mentioned colts?
10372You never suspected?
10372You ought to be,said the''Bishop,''"but you are n''t; what are you going to do?"
10372You propose to blackmail me, I suppose?
10372You say this-- er-- woman is your housekeeper?
10372You say,murmured Ajax,"that Miss Dutton''s appetite was good?"
10372You sent it? 10372 You think a heap o''the old man?"
10372You was n''t expectin''me?
10372You were at Harrow?
10372You''ll help me-- eh? 10372 You''ll let me fix things?"
10372You''re going to give me a free hand?
10372You''ve made no advances directly or indirectly?
10372You, Miss Buchanan?
10372You-- you are a rich man?
10372Your husband, ma''am? 10372 Your money?
10372Your--_nightie_?
10372_ You_ told him that? 10372 ''Bout time you quit men''s work, ai n''t it?
10372''Conan,''eh?
10372''John,''I answers,''what kin we do to prevent it?''
10372''Twa''n''t fixed up atween you boys an''her?"
10372A present fer a middle- aged bridegroom?
10372Ai n''t she takin''the kinks out of her speed?
10372Ai n''t that a clip?
10372Ajax answered him quite coolly--"What do you want?
10372Ajax answered, without any enthusiasm,"Wo n''t it?"
10372Ajax burst out----"Mr. Spooner, because of that, wo n''t you help these poor people?"
10372Ajax, who has a trick of saying what others think, blurted out--"What do you mean by conquering-- Belle?"
10372Ajax-- eh?"
10372Alcohol is a stimulant- narcotic, is n''t it?"
10372An''he told me how he done it, whar to strike-- savvy?
10372An''s''pose I ai n''t to home-- hey?
10372An''who made him so?
10372An''work?
10372And do you think that the Free and the Brave will suffer you to destroy property and life without calling you to account?"
10372And how could I see the loveliness of your cousins when my eyes were dwelling with rapture upon the stately form of her I trust to call my own?
10372And if that is the case, what is to become of us?"
10372And ought we to ask some questions?
10372And then she sez, kinder wheedlin'':''But you will marry yer Sairy Anne, Johnnie, wo n''t ye?''
10372And what chance could she have-- one frail girl against three burly young giants?
10372And what were the lives of two"white devils"to the owner of this den?
10372And what''s the result?"
10372And who else of honest men would choose to live in such a desolate spot?
10372And you two are campin''out for yer health-- eh?
10372Another glass of brandy?
10372Any other question?"
10372Anything else?
10372Anything wrong?"
10372Are you prepared to do that?"
10372As our guest turned into the spare room, he said whimsically--"Have I entertained you?
10372As soon as we happened to be alone, I whispered to my brother:"I say, what if the old man is playing hare and hound with us?"
10372As soon as we were alone, Ajax said savagely--"Do you think Jim understands?"
10372At supper Ajax said--"It''s more blessed to give than to receive-- eh, Gloriana?"
10372Because I''m so very poor?"
10372Bimeby, he ast me if I was willin''to take Sairy Anne Janssen to be my wife----""An''ye said NO, my own Johnnie?"
10372Black and blue?
10372Bobo?"
10372But Lily----Boys, I do n''t like ter give her away-- this is between me an''you-- she''s the finest in the land, ai n''t she?
10372But how would the worm fare when swallowed up and absorbed?
10372But when Dick was alone he muttered to himself:"Now what the deuce did the governor mean by a curious change in his fortunes?"
10372But-- do you want him_ dying_?"
10372Ca n''t you dine with me?"
10372Call again-- will ye?
10372Can you touch them, if Omnipotence forbids?"
10372Could I live on in ze place where I had seen my children and my children''s children?
10372Could I meet in Paris ze pitying eyes of friends?"
10372Could such a man be a thief?
10372D''ye hear the typewriters clicking?
10372D''ye hear?"
10372D''ye know it?"
10372D''ye think I do n''t know what ye all think?
10372D''ye think now that I''ve fed him up and got him into sech fine shape that he''ll leave me?
10372D''you hear?
10372Did Angela think of Jim as a mouse?
10372Did I hurt yer shoulder, sonny?"
10372Did he divine also that she meant to go over them-- that at last, with her poor, imperfect vision, she had seen that way out of captivity?
10372Did he really know?
10372Did his heart soften as he bade them farewell?
10372Did n''t I tell ye that in my business I''ve got to jest naturally know things?
10372Did n''t he tell you?
10372Did she protest?
10372Did she take comfort in the thought that she was wiping out John Jacob Dumble''s innumerable rogueries?
10372Did they print it?"
10372Did ye ever see a man scairt worse''n him?
10372Did you notice his smile?"
10372Do n''t I know that I''m the ornariest, meanest old skinflint atween Point Sal and San Diego?
10372Do you deny that?"
10372Do you drink water?"
10372Do you hear?
10372Do you hear?"
10372Do you see this sheet of blotting- paper?"
10372Do you think he''ll know me?
10372Do you think my father would return to England without thanking the man who was kind to his dear lad?
10372Each day he goes off to his work, and he always asks the same question:''You wo n''t be lonesome, little woman, will you?''
10372Eastern, I presume, my dear?"
10372Expecting company, Gloriana?"
10372Favourite?
10372For a dog that I''ve learned to love?
10372For what purpose save robbery and murder was such a room designed?
10372Gloriana-- what?"
10372Goin''to town?"
10372Got it down?
10372Got it?
10372Got it?
10372Got it?
10372Had Cupid robbed his victim of her wits?
10372Had n''t I better bring the grub out here?
10372Have I not seen my wife and children suffering for want of proper food and clothing?
10372Have ye anything to say?"
10372Have ye got her picture?"
10372Have ye got the cold cash, Nal?"
10372Have you considered that point?"
10372Have you doubled your capital, Jim?"
10372Have you plenty of whisky?"
10372Have you thought of that?"
10372Having supported you so long, I presume he is prepared to support you to the end?"
10372He had made mistakes, of course-- who did n''t?
10372He said in a queer, high- pitched tone--"Ca n''t you stick a knife into the balloon?"
10372He said meaningly:"Wilkins has had a tough row to hoe-- eh?
10372He spoke to the clerk in his usual mild voice:"Can you give Mis''Panel an''me accommodation?"
10372He was on their notes of hand, ye understand?"
10372He wrote that letter at the saloon, did n''t he?
10372Help us?
10372Hev ye heard anyone ever speak a good word fer me?"
10372His confusion, which she attributed to bashfulness, encouraged the shameless coquette to add:"Maybe you liked me better as Bud?"
10372How about this yere loan?"
10372How could he stem this tide of avarice, this torrent of egoism?
10372How dare you?
10372How dare you?
10372How did ye come ter guess that?"
10372How did you open our burglar- proof safe?"
10372How do you know I''ve got a sister?"
10372How much am I bid fer the field?"
10372How much now?"
10372How''s folks?
10372How''s that?
10372How?"
10372I dare say you have ridden two horses to a standstill to- day?
10372I hope I did n''t''sturb ye?"
10372I presume you''re all church- members?"
10372I reckon you''ve a springboard and a buckskin in the barn over there?"
10372I said, indiscreetly:"Mr. Spooner, why do you dig post- holes?"
10372I''ll bet the hull crowd down in Paradise laughed at the idee o''fetchin''me-- hey?"
10372I''ve one hundred dollars for Comet; how much fer second choice?
10372If so, did he consult his wife before he burnt the one and only bed?
10372If somebody should call, you''ll say, of course, that yer very particularly engaged, eh?"
10372In a thick, choked voice she said:"Is that you, Pap?"
10372Is he fit to take my hand?"
10372Is she married or single?
10372Is that really so?"
10372Is there another Sharp besides mine in these yere hills?"
10372Is there another, Bud?"
10372It''s Léoville, is n''t it?
10372It''s a clean one, is it?"
10372Jimmy Doolan asked--"What in thunder made ye do that, Tom?"
10372Lemmee see, whar was I?
10372Leveson answered thickly:"What are you doing here, sir?"
10372Lonesome for ye, ai n''t it?"
10372Looking at her now, what son of Adam could call her homely?
10372Maybe you know it--_The Milk of Human Kindness_?
10372Mebbe you was fullish to leave the range?"
10372Mebbe, gen''lemen, ye''ve heard Miss Birdie sing?"
10372More than one of the boys said:"Why do n''t you get what dough is comin''to ye and skip?"
10372My question is this:''Do the cattle drink at the spring which bubbles out of that hill yonder?''"
10372Never had Pap''s voice sounded so harsh in my ears as when he said:"Do I understan''that ye offer this to-- me?"
10372Never knew that, did ye?"
10372Never tole you boys about that, did I?
10372No, Missy-- wal, Sissy, then-- no, Sissy, you speak out an''tell me what brought you a- visitin''--me?"
10372No?
10372No?
10372No?
10372Not a word to her-- eh?"
10372Now, Lily Panel, you do n''t mean to tell me that you thought I was goin''ter murder this feller?"
10372Oh, indeed?
10372Oh, it wan''t her, eh?
10372Panel?"
10372Perfessor, ye''re a pathologist, ai n''t yer?"
10372Petered out--_me_?
10372Popsy, where''s my money?"
10372Presently Ransom said abruptly:--"Dead struck on Mints, ai n''t ye?"
10372Pull it off?
10372Queer-- eh?"
10372Ransom?"
10372Ready?
10372Riding home through the cactus and manzanita Ajax said irritably,"Is there any Paradise on earth without a fool in it?"
10372Say, if anything happened to me, would ye watch out for Mints?"
10372Say, shall I send her this yere pome?"
10372Say-- air the lords to home?"
10372Say-- do you want to earn an honest dollar?"
10372See?"
10372See?"
10372See?"
10372Set his heart on winnin'', eh?
10372Share my Johnnie with her?
10372She expressed surprise rather than pleasure when a young man rode up, shifted in his saddle, and said:--"How air you folks makin''it?"
10372She stood up, her eyes were shining, her face radiant"Fergive me, but I reckoned you-- was-- petered-- out?"
10372She''d a rose silk dress----""A rose silk dress?"
10372Shortly before, Mamie had whispered to Dan:"Darling, can you forgive me?"
10372Sillett met Jeff''s glance with a simple bow, and the inevitable remark,"Hurt yourself?"
10372Sit down, Mr.----?"
10372So we can congratulate you, Gloriana?"
10372Somebody has tried to squeeze you-- eh?"
10372Spooner?"
10372That''s Paradise alone; in the foothills----""What brings you here?"
10372That''s the right sperit-- ain''t it?
10372The president frowned; his voice was not quite so pleasant as he said--"Are they likely to claim a commission?"
10372The women, my neighbours in the brush- hills, look at me with the same question in their eyes:''What are you doing here?''
10372The''Piker''said quietly--"Anything to say, young feller?"
10372Then Ajax shrugged his shoulders and said significantly,"You know what this means?"
10372Then I heard Jim''s voice curiously distinct--"What are you going to do?"
10372Then he said, curtly,"Wal, I''ll take the dime, Sissy-- I kin make a dime go farther than a dollar, ca n''t I, boys?"
10372Then she sez, kind of soft an''smilin'':''Why, Mister Jasper, what d''you want to see my album for?
10372Then, as Dennis was moving off, he added, in a rasping voice:"You an''my wife is acquainted, eh?
10372There was a slight pause, and then our guest said quietly--"Would''Sponge''do?
10372They had something to do with this, eh?"
10372To_ us?_""She said an example, gen''lemen, jest-- an example."
10372Tudor Crisp?"
10372Tudor''s history followed, and then the inevitable question:"Who is Cartwright?"
10372W- w- what?
10372Was Bernard a married man?
10372Was I grateful?
10372Was he going to swallow it?
10372Was you aimin''to hunt fer Jaspar up an''down this town?"
10372Well, one fine day he met his mate----""What was she like?"
10372Wells?"
10372Whar did that ther bullet come from, boys?"
10372What air you goin''to do?"
10372What could he do?
10372What d''you mean by that?
10372What did that leetle shebang on Nob Hill cost ye?"
10372What do I say?
10372What do you know of wimmenfolk?
10372What does a marble hall cost?"
10372What does that come to?"
10372What else?"
10372What in thunder ails the girl?"
10372What in thunder''s this?"
10372What kin I do?"
10372What kind of a chump am I not to have thought of that before?
10372What misogynist can withstand such arts?
10372What sort of accommodation, sir?"
10372What subtle instinct warned him of the approach of danger?
10372What was left for me,_ mes amis_?
10372What will that skin be like in one year from now?"
10372What will they do when the Sheriff is hunting-- you?
10372What will you do then?"
10372What''s he doin''in it anyway?"
10372What''s her name, Bud?"
10372What''s her name, sonny?"
10372What''s that?"
10372What''s that?"
10372What''s that?"
10372What''s the use of jawing?
10372What?
10372When he had finished-- and how his tongue must have ached!--Ajax said quietly--"Were you any good as a clerk?"
10372When nature is eloquent, why should a mortal refrain from speech?
10372When we staggered to our feet, Angela said quickly--"Why, where''s Jim?"
10372Where ha''ye been?"
10372Who can answer such questions?
10372Who can tell?
10372Who fired it?
10372Who is she?
10372Who knows?
10372Who looked at the fountain in the patch of lawn by the old fig trees?
10372Who says supper?
10372Who shall say what was passing in his mind, so long absorbed in itself, and now, if one could judge by his face, absorbed at last in this child?
10372Who''s that a- peekin''behind ye?"
10372Whom could he do?
10372Whose murder?"
10372Why did such a man bury himself in the brush hills of San Lorenzo County?
10372Why did they not arise and slaughter him?
10372Why do n''t you say something, you stupid fool?"
10372Why, in the name of the Sphinx, should Jasperson have selected out of a dozen young ladies far more eligible Miss Birdie Dutton?
10372Why?
10372Why?
10372Why?"
10372Why?"
10372Will you give me your arm, sir?"
10372Will you stay here this winter, and keep house for us?
10372With a deprecating smile he said softly--"Air you very extry busy, Mints?"
10372With a queer glint in his small, dull grey eyes he replied, curtly:"Why are you boys a- shootin''quail-- hey?
10372Wo n''t it be larks?"
10372Wo n''t you p- p- please t- take it?"
10372Wonder if I kin shoot as straight as I used ter?"
10372Would she guess?
10372Would she understand?
10372Would you gen''lemen fancy a glass o''lemonade?
10372Ye wo n''t?
10372Ye''ve heard o''him-- of course?"
10372Yes; and the shell table with''Bless our Home''on it, in pink cowries?
10372You ai n''t going to have a fever?"
10372You are acquainted with Mis''Root, I guess?"
10372You are not satisfied with what you did yesterday?
10372You fellows have heard of him, of course?"
10372You follow me-- eh?
10372You hang back?
10372You hoped I might?"
10372You never thought of that?"
10372You thought that?"
10372You wa''n''t expectin''me, surely?"
10372You want her?"
10372You want him-- eh?
10372You want him?
10372You''d hog all the medicine?
10372You''re not scared of two unarmed men-- are you?"
10372You''ve seen her wax flowers?
10372Your Pap had any more trouble with''em?"
10372_ Jamais, jamais de la vie!_""Come with us to Del Monte?"
10372_ Moi_, I abominate frauds--_hein?_ He obtain my money onder false pretences, is it not so?
10372_ Moi_, I abominate frauds--_hein?_ He obtain my money onder false pretences, is it not so?
10372crazy or sane?"
10372he exclaimed passionately,"have I not been poor long enough?
10372old or young?
10372said the boy,"or proud of being dep''ty- sheriff?"
10372sir, are you laughing at me?"
10372we cried simultaneously,"does Mr. Swiggart_ buy_ hams?"
10372why should n''t you have your fee?
19371Ai n''t it? 19371 Ai n''t''knowin''''my business?
19371An''--you''ll bring her along with you?
19371An''Jeff-- didn''t know till-- now?
19371An''what about Lightfoot?
19371An''who antied the price?
19371An''you''re sendin''for him?
19371And she is still her father''s daughter?
19371And the dollars? 19371 And the other boys?"
19371And the stores, Jeff?
19371And then?
19371And they''re following up the trail?
19371And they''re out on the trail-- right now?
19371And what do I owe to you? 19371 And you do n''t know who-- accepted it?"
19371And you figure after giving things time to get forgotten they''ve gathered up a crowd of toughs and started in on this district?
19371And you''ll tell me your decision-- now?
19371And-- you are n''t mad with me for knowing? 19371 Another raid?"
19371Are n''t you going to finish yours?
19371Are you scared?
19371Been times around here, ai n''t ther''?
19371Blood money?
19371Bob,she cried at last, all restraint completely giving way,"do you know what I could do just now more willingly than anything else in the world?
19371But ca n''t you get back to it? 19371 But what about-- Ronald?"
19371But what if it can be called a fortune, Effie?
19371But why talk? 19371 But you-- a woman?
19371But you-- you alone were following on the tracks of four tough strangers?
19371Ca n''t you tell me-- now? 19371 Can I come along up-- later?
19371Can we do it-- sure?
19371Can you help me up?
19371Chore boy?
19371Convinced''em?
19371Crook?
19371Curious? 19371 D''you mind?"
19371D''you think you could duplicate it then?
19371Daddy, Daddy, he will-- he will be happy, wo n''t he?
19371Did you have mercy? 19371 Did you see anybody?
19371Do I?
19371Do you guess he ken talk if he feels that way?
19371Do you know what she''s won? 19371 Do you know what you''re doing?
19371Do you need me to give it you all again?
19371Do you think-- he''d-- he''d have me be a-- a bridesmaid? 19371 Do?"
19371Does Jeff know?
19371Does it? 19371 Done me no wrong?"
19371Done?
19371Feelin''beat, eh?
19371Five hundred? 19371 Food on, Nan?"
19371Gee,he exclaimed,"wher''you get that dandy rig?"
19371Got any lager?
19371Have n''t I?
19371He ai n''t around?
19371He''s gone to Spruce Crossing-- to Sikkem?
19371How can we give it him?
19371How can you talk that way?
19371How d''you know that?
19371How d''you know?
19371How do they call you then?
19371How''d you fancy looking after my horses and saddle and things? 19371 How''s that goin''to fix the Lightfoot crowd?"
19371How-- then?
19371How?
19371How?
19371How?
19371How?
19371How?
19371How?
19371I allow we owe her a heap of thanks, eh, Bud?
19371I do n''t seem to feel I''ve ever had such a time, or ever will again, unless----"Unless?
19371I do think she''s real beautiful, do n''t you?
19371I never---- Say, does Nan know you were-- raised here?
19371I s''pose there is hell lying around her heart?
19371I? 19371 Ice?"
19371Is he?
19371Is it a matter of importance?
19371Is it? 19371 Is she-- hurt?"
19371Is that the reason of the dispute?
19371Is there any need-- now?
19371It''s a dandy bunch, Bob, eh?
19371It''s not girls only who need a mirror, when a man is good to look at, Daddy, is it? 19371 It''s pretty bad?"
19371It''s tough on top of my home- coming, eh, Nan? 19371 It''s-- it''s not very brave, is it?
19371Jack Rabbit?
19371Jeff comin''up?
19371Just when? 19371 Kind o''seems in a hurry, do n''t he?"
19371Know''d?
19371Know''em?
19371Lucky? 19371 May I know, dear?"
19371Me? 19371 Mostly?"
19371My life?
19371My-- gown?
19371Nan?
19371No trouble, Lal?
19371No?
19371None? 19371 Nothin''_ has_ happened?"
19371Now?
19371Of sorts? 19371 Orrville?"
19371Our prize stock?
19371Peters? 19371 Place?
19371Quite a place, eh?
19371Rye?
19371Say, Dan, how old are you? 19371 Say, I guess I have n''t given up a thing-- for you, eh?
19371Say, Jeff, wo n''t you go back? 19371 Say, Jeff,"the girl went on gently, a moment later,"are n''t you acting a teeny bit crazy over this?
19371Say, Mr. Masters, guess you ai n''t never tried any stunt like raisin''kebbiges on a hog ranch? 19371 Say, ai n''t we never to get food a feller ken eat?"
19371Say, did Jeff tell you?
19371Say, kind o''fergotten-- ain''t yer?
19371Say, maybe you''d feel like handin''me the reason you would n''t set the law on to that-- woman?
19371Say, when d''you quit Orrville way?
19371Say, would n''t it be a real circus if a big, strong man had to act the same as us poor women? 19371 Say, you Daddy of mine,"she said, almost boisterously,"have n''t you work to be done, the same as I have?
19371Say,he cried, in fiercely vibrant tones,"d''you know what it is I got in my head?
19371Say-- a touch of the north wind around, Nan, eh?
19371See them? 19371 Serious as all that?"
19371Shall we----?
19371Sikkem? 19371 Smoke?"
19371So you netted the ten thousand?
19371So?
19371Some for me?
19371Some one betrayed''em-- for ten thousand dollars?
19371Suppose? 19371 Terrible?
19371That all?
19371That one of your boys-- coming in? 19371 That so?"
19371That you, Dad?
19371The Highland bull?
19371The Lightfoot gang?
19371The Shorthorn yearlings, Lal?
19371The trouble? 19371 The_ Calthorpe Times_, is n''t it?"
19371Then how in hell d''you know it all? 19371 Then what did you send that youngster in for with mouthful of durned lies?"
19371Times? 19371 Trouble?"
19371Troubles?
19371Two? 19371 Wal?"
19371Was there ever such a simple, simple soul? 19371 Was you?"
19371We?
19371Well?
19371Well?
19371Well?
19371Well?
19371What about me, Ju?
19371What are they goin''to do?
19371What d''you mean, Effie?
19371What d''you mean?
19371What did Evie do?
19371What happened-- after-- that? 19371 What in the nature o''blamed things made me act that way?"
19371What is he-- to you?
19371What is it?
19371What is it?
19371What more? 19371 What''s amiss, Nan?"
19371What''s brought you in?
19371What''s doing?
19371What''s the play at-- Orrville?
19371What''s the use anyway?
19371What''s the use of a few dollars? 19371 What''s your name, boy?"
19371What-- happened-- after-- Nan? 19371 What-- who were they-- then?"
19371When are you starting?
19371When did he send it?
19371Wher''is she?
19371Wher''is she?
19371Wher''s Nan?
19371Wher''s the red willow? 19371 Wher''s the use in it anyway?"
19371Where are the other boys?
19371Where is he?
19371Where-- where did this all happen?
19371Who can stop me? 19371 Who is it wasting my time?
19371Who is she? 19371 Who is this Peters, anyway?"
19371Who sent it?
19371Who sent this? 19371 Who''s to say?"
19371Who-- what?
19371Who? 19371 Who?
19371Who?
19371Why did you come around here-- to- night?
19371Why for should I?
19371Why not know her better? 19371 Why not leave it at the Garden of Eden?"
19371Why not?
19371Why not?
19371Why not?
19371Why, you met her, sure?
19371Why-- why is it too late?
19371Why?
19371Will I tell you of them? 19371 Will you listen, Bob?
19371Will you read that-- at once?
19371Will you stop and eat with us?
19371Will you tell me all you know of-- this woman?
19371Will you-- help me?
19371Wo n''t you open it?
19371Wot youngster? 19371 Wot''s the lies?"
19371Wot''s wrong?
19371Would she? 19371 Yes, Jeff?"
19371Yes, Nan?
19371You ai n''t makin''no complaint to the boss, ma''am? 19371 You coming along?"
19371You have come back, Jeff?
19371You ken hear?
19371You mean the rustlers?
19371You mean the-- rustlers?
19371You run this shanty?
19371You were following my tracks?
19371You wo n''t tell him wot I said, ma''am?
19371You''d have me go back to her?
19371You''re Mrs. Masters, ma''am?
19371You''re at the call of anybody around to settle disputes?
19371You''re coming back with me, Bob?
19371You''re goin''back home?
19371You''re not going down there with them?
19371You''re-- packing?
19371You''ve got news of them?
19371You, Sikkem? 19371 You-- are not going?"
19371You-- still refuse-- to countenance it?
19371You-- you wo n''t leave me?
19371You_ must_ go-- I s''pose?
19371Ai n''t it a pictur''?
19371And Jeff?
19371And do they matter anyway?
19371And had she not already been confidentially warned that Jeff was to be the forthcoming year''s president?
19371And if you''ve got to go under, why, I guess it''s best done with a smile, eh?"
19371And rustlers?
19371And that''s just all we can ask, is n''t it?"
19371And then-- yes, just a teeny tiny touch of powder on his nose?
19371And then?
19371And then?"
19371And what could the urgency be at such an hour?
19371And when it''s paid, do you shout about it?
19371And you''ll-- promise?"
19371And-- what then?
19371Are these people your friends?
19371Are you comin''along?
19371Are you goin''to help, Jeff?"
19371Bud helped himself, and in response to Ju''s"Your friend?"
19371But love?
19371But was it?
19371But we really need to answer, do n''t we?
19371But we''re goin''to beat the game-- sure, eh?
19371But why not come around to the ranch and see things?
19371But you are-- better?
19371But---- Was he one of the original Orrville gang, all unsuspected, or, at least, if not unsuspected,_ unknown_ to be?
19371But----""Then the trouble----?"
19371Ca n''t you see?
19371Can you beat it?
19371Can you beat it?
19371Could she permit it?
19371Could there be any mistaking those cold tones, that ruthless decision?
19371D''you guess Jeff would let me get his house ready for-- his wife?"
19371D''you know how?"
19371D''you make it that way?"
19371Dared she go to him?
19371Dared she risk what lay beyond?
19371Did he mind?
19371Did she get it?
19371Did she not know it all?
19371Did that mean raiding her husband''s stock and endeavoring so to ruin the Obar?
19371Do I get it?
19371Do you get that, dear?
19371Do you get that?"
19371Do you know how I feel?
19371Do you know what I mean?
19371Do you know what that reward means to you-- to us?
19371Do you remember them, my Daddy?
19371Do you think I do n''t love him?
19371Do you think I''m not ready to dare for him-- anything?
19371Do you, Nan?"
19371Do-- do you think he''ll like it all?"
19371Does mine give me no right?
19371Does the gang down Orrville way need to know who it was they forgot to hand the name of Judas to when he was christened?
19371Dreadful?"
19371Eh, Bob?
19371Eh?"
19371Four fellers?
19371Get me?
19371Get me?"
19371Git me?
19371Gives''em visions of hangin''-bees, an''a sort o''firework display with guns an''things, an''when they hatched out, what''s the result?
19371Go back to her feeling as I do?"
19371Go?
19371Had he not been at it himself since the first streak of dawn?
19371Had he not seen for himself how Jeff''s fancy had been caught?
19371Had he not watched the progress of events throughout the week?
19371Had she not lived it all before?
19371Had the heat of the summer sun wrought the mischief?
19371Had the hut itself supplied the trouble?
19371He surely would, daddy dear, would n''t he?
19371Her father?
19371Hers?
19371Home?
19371Honest?
19371How can I say?"
19371How could prosperity have maintained under the conditions he would have imposed?
19371How could you be expected to see a man''s point of view?"
19371How did you happen to git around?
19371How do you know I''m not out to beat you?
19371How far away?"
19371How had it been started?
19371How long would they remain so?
19371How much was it, Daddy?"
19371How much?"
19371How?"
19371I do n''t like him, Miss, an''---- Say, how did them rustlers know''bout them calves?
19371I do n''t need to say a word about her value, eh?
19371I mean just look after them for me, and nothing else?"
19371I wonder why you were scared?
19371I---- May I come along-- after I get through?"
19371I----""Mercy?
19371If I get shot up does my wife get it?
19371If I get shot up the money''ll be paid to my wife?
19371If he sent it, what more likely than that he was one of the gang of rustlers operating here?
19371If he were one of the Orrville gang, what was more likely than that he should have sent that threat?
19371If he were one of them, then what added significance did it give threat?
19371If the open pine woods continued she might, but-- what lay beyond?
19371If you''d got this gang, with him in it?
19371Is Lightfoot your master?"
19371It ai n''t friendly not to put folks wise, is it?
19371It''s not fair to me-- to you-- to your little Nan----""What''s not fair to Nan?"
19371It''s sort of like the Indian summer, is n''t it?
19371Jeff in danger?
19371Jeff?
19371Jest passin''thro''?"
19371Just a bunch of rustlers----""Cattle thieves?"
19371Know it?
19371Makes you think, do n''t it?
19371McFarlane?"
19371Meanwhiles----""Yes?"
19371Mebbe he''s traveling around incog.--ain''t that the word?"
19371Mebbe you''ve heard all the play?"
19371Men were of---- What was that?
19371Mercy?"
19371Might there not then be hope in the dim future?
19371Mighty tough- looking citizens, an''strangers?"
19371Morals?
19371Mrs. Van Blooren?"
19371Nan remembered the absurdity of her reply now with something very like panic:"Who-- what-- were you thinking of then?"
19371Nasty, mean, hateful shadows lurking, full of----""Hell for some one, eh?"
19371Nothing?
19371Orrville?
19371Pity, ai n''t it?"
19371Presently he went on:"Makes you feel A''mighty God''s a pretty big feller, do n''t it?
19371Price?
19371Price?
19371Queer?
19371Rob her of the man she loved?
19371Say, Evie, you wo n''t let go of things, will you?
19371Say, I''ll be paid on the nail when the job''s done?
19371Say, ca n''t you see it all?
19371Say, d''you make it these things are, or is it jest something He sets in us makes us see''em that way?
19371Say, daddy, shall-- shall I talk?"
19371Say, ever hear tell of a time when ther''wa''an''t some feller waiting ready to grab on to ten thousand dollars?
19371Say, what boys you got out there?"
19371Say, who''d''a''thought it?"
19371Say----""How d''you know anything that affects you here, Daddy?"
19371Say----""Well?"
19371Say----""What''s gone?"
19371Say----""Yes?"
19371See?
19371See?
19371See?"
19371Shall I see?"
19371Shall I stop right here, or-- get back to home?"
19371So you boys here got in on''em?"
19371Sort of makes you think, too, do n''t it?
19371Sort of queer name, ai n''t it?
19371Sure, sure, she''ll make him happy?
19371Sure?"
19371That so?"
19371That so?"
19371The Lightfoot gang, eh?
19371The future?
19371The price?
19371The question once more flashed through his brain-- what-- what was the use of it all?
19371Their purpose looked to be to ruin the Obar, and then-- what then?
19371Then after a pause he added:"You did n''t send him along?
19371Then he went on with enthusiasm:"Say, would n''t it be bully to think of?
19371Then where was the justice of it?
19371Then, was he not on the rising wave which must ever appeal to the maturer mind of a widow, however young?
19371They went by the name of Whitstone, but their real name, by them papers, was Van Blooren----""What name?"
19371Twenty?"
19371Was it a calculated display, or was it the outlet for an emotion altogether too strong for the man''s restraint?
19371Was it possible in all that unquestioned success there had been no delight, no real enjoyment at all?
19371Was it the work of an incendiary?
19371Was not the completeness of her disaster contained in those lines?
19371Was she no longer standing upon that brink?
19371Was she not bitterly aware that her own home marked the fringe of the cattle world in this direction?
19371Was there ever a nicer looking suit for men than evening clothes?
19371Was there ever such a bunch of simple trusting folly as is rolled up in that six feet three of good- hearted honesty?
19371Was there ever such a feller looking for sharps to play him?
19371Was there one merciful, womanly emotion in your cruel, selfish heart when you sent those men, that man to his death for ten thousand filthy dollars?
19371We can stand now, ca n''t we?
19371Were there ever such things?
19371What could she do with the secret?
19371What could she do-- a woman?
19371What d''you take me for-- a rustler?"
19371What do you say?"
19371What estimate this big man-- and Bob knew him to be a big man-- would have of him when he had told his news and claimed the-- blood money?
19371What happened?
19371What if he''d been one of this gang?
19371What in hell ken we do?"
19371What in hell''s brought you around now?
19371What is her first name, and the first name of her-- husband?"
19371What more are you asking me?"
19371What must be done?
19371What of mine?
19371What of the fire?
19371What right had any ten thousand dollars to drift into any unknown pocket?
19371What they done your way?"
19371What was his price?
19371What was it?
19371What was the minute you started to make yourself-- pretty?"
19371What was the use----?
19371What was there to fear?
19371What were they doing down there?
19371What would be the result upon such a nature as this man''s when-- he knew?
19371What would be their end?
19371What''s he done, Jeff?"
19371What''s your name?
19371What''s your name?
19371What''ud you have?
19371What, what had the coming of the man for her?
19371What-- lay beyond?
19371When did you get it?
19371When''re you coming along to-- home?"
19371Where lay the use, the purpose in it all?
19371Where was all the result of her years of hard calculation?
19371Where was that machine upon which she had gazed with so much confident pride?
19371Where were these?
19371Where''s the difference?
19371Where''s yours?"
19371Wherein then should be discovered its charms?
19371Whither were those men riding?
19371Whither?
19371Whitstone, ai n''t it?
19371Who did?"
19371Who is going to harm Jeff?"
19371Who''s the boy who brought in word?"
19371Who, he wondered, was the present victim, and what was the extent of the raid?
19371Who-- who were they?
19371Who?
19371Whose?
19371Why all this now?"
19371Why are you like that?"
19371Why did they not surround the bluff?
19371Why had his first thoughts on returning life been of these-- things?
19371Why should he be forced to observance of the laws of justice, or-- duty toward a woman who----?
19371Why should she not admit it?
19371Why should she?
19371Why should there ever be a farewell between them?
19371Why should this be a farewell?
19371Why, if that sort of thing became the general practice,"how,"he asked himself,"was an honest trader to live?"
19371Why, she wondered in sudden horror, had she not told of this thing before?
19371Why, when there''s a hundred and one things to do around this wretched shanty?
19371Why-- why had it affected him last night?
19371Why?
19371Why?
19371Why?"
19371Will you give me your word, sir?
19371Will you go along-- and get it?"
19371Will you listen to me while I tell you all that''s been churning around in my head ever since you told me of that reward?
19371Will you-- will you go back to her-- to- morrow, Jeff?"
19371Wine color, eh?
19371Wo n''t you stick it for me?"
19371Wo n''t you try, for-- my sake?"
19371Wo n''t you?"
19371Wonder what sort of mush he kept in his thinking depot?
19371Would Dug McFarlane come?
19371Would I?
19371Would he listen?
19371Would he-- speak?
19371Would it sort of help him any?"
19371Would she accept it?
19371Would she ever forget?
19371Would she get those ten thousand dollars, which appeared so vast a sum to eyes only accustomed to dwelling upon cents?
19371Would they open again?
19371Would they punish her that way?
19371Would they succeed in capturing this Lightfoot gang?
19371Would you act that way by a mother, or-- or a sister?
19371Would you''ve let him go and hanged the others?
19371You are n''t mad with Jeff for me knowing?
19371You believe that, do n''t you?
19371You convinced them?"
19371You do believe that, do n''t you?
19371You do n''t get it?
19371You do n''t know him?
19371You do n''t think there was anything else, do you?
19371You got my papers, an''--wal, how d''you guess I stand?"
19371You knew of them?"
19371You mean you''re goin''to come along an''help find-- Ronny?"
19371You mean----?"
19371You''re going to help me, dear, are n''t you?
19371You''ve never seen him?
19371You-- you wo n''t ever let me lose it, will you?"
19371You?
19371You?"
19371Your word of honor?"
17598''Comps''? 17598 ''Throw''me?
17598A lover?
17598A- a- anyhow, whut are yer d- d- doin''yere?
17598Ach!--you too nice to be brofessional; you like to choose your lofer, hey? 17598 Actor?"
17598Ai n''t that Burke? 17598 Ai n''t used ter that sort o''thing, hey?"
17598All? 17598 Am I to thank you for giving me such immaculate dressing- rooms of late?"
17598An engagement? 17598 An''begorry, did ye hear that, seeñorita?
17598An''what''s that? 17598 An''you kn- kn- know the señorita?"
17598And deliberately choose the Gayety instead?
17598And how did you chance to guess it was my intention to attend? 17598 And is that all?"
17598And is that all?
17598And now-- to- day?
17598And now?
17598And she is the Star?
17598And this tunnel-- how long do you make it?
17598And what did you say?
17598And what was that?
17598And yet consented to appear there?
17598And you have never suspected who I was until to- night?
17598And you intend to serve it?
17598And,she asked, as if the thought had not yet reached her understanding,"you will not go without-- without me?"
17598And-- and leave him alone?
17598Anybody down that other entry?
17598Are you Nels Swanson?
17598Are you Stutter Brown, of the''Little Yankee''?
17598Are you aware that both Albrecht and Lane have skipped out?
17598Are you bretty strong?
17598Are you going to leave me now?
17598Are you people following an ore- lead back yonder?
17598At least answer me one question without equivocation-- do you love that man?
17598Because I am not a leaf to float on the air, my destiny decided by a breath of wind, I must choose; yet how can I know I decide rightly? 17598 Beell Heeks?
17598Beside me? 17598 Beth, Beth,"utterly forgetting everything but the mystery of her words, his gray eyes darkening from eagerness,"what is it you mean?
17598Beth,he asked at last,"is this right?"
17598Beth,he asked, daring to touch her trembling hair,"have I hurt you?
17598Beth,he exclaimed, hardly aware of the words used,"do you mean that?
17598Beth,he whispered, as though half afraid even yet to put the question,"am I all you wish-- everything?"
17598Beth-- you-- you will not listen?
17598Beyond doubt, you refer to my apparent surprise at first hearing Mr. Farnham''s name mentioned?
17598Biff Farnham?
17598Blame me, Stutter, what do yer think o''that? 17598 Brown?"
17598Burke,asked the engineer suddenly,"how long have you fellows been in here?"
17598But am I right? 17598 But why?"
17598But, Miss Norvell, do you realize what the Gayety is?
17598By Jove, why not?
17598By cracky, are yer shore that was Farnham yer hit?
17598C- can I c- call on you wh- wh- where you s- s- said?
17598C- come, little g- g- girl, what''s up?
17598Can I be of service?
17598Can it be you believe me such a cur? 17598 Can not?
17598Can you inform me if Mr. Winston is in his room?
17598Can you let me have the same room, Tom?
17598Complete? 17598 Dare?
17598Defence? 17598 Did he know?"
17598Did he leave any money?
17598Did he send nothing for the others? 17598 Did you ever hear the adage,''Dead men tell no tales''?"
17598Did you know I had been put under arrest on the charge of killing you?
17598Did you learn her name?
17598Did you suppose I collected my own money, and could therefore meet your expenses?
17598Did-- did sh- she come out t- to our m- m- mine spying for Farnham?
17598Did-- did you chance to notice if Mr. Farnham remained in the dance hall?
17598Did-- did you dare tell him?
17598Do dat? 17598 Do you actually mean you are crazy enough to go with Hicks, after all I''ve told you?"
17598Do you dare refuse, in spite of all I can say to your injury?
17598Do you expect to frighten me?
17598Do you hear, you lunk- head? 17598 Do you imagine I''ll let go of you that easily, now that you are here?
17598Do you know the feller?
17598Do you know, I am glad even of that? 17598 Do you mean that was all you got?"
17598Do you mean that?
17598Do you mean they have deserted us here to-- to take care of ourselves?
17598Do you mean to say you have women with you?
17598Do you mean to tell me Albrecht has actually skipped out?
17598Do you rank me with those shameless creatures out yonder? 17598 Do you remember what I once said in a cabin out in Colorado?"
17598Do you truly believe so?
17598Do-- do you know a Mr. Ned Winston?
17598Dynamite?
17598Eet vas not foolish for us to vant to know, vas eet, señor?
17598Ever cross there yourself?
17598Farnham, did you say? 17598 For home?"
17598Got anybody in your bunch named Winston?
17598Got yer b- b- bucket full, M- M- Mike?
17598Great guns, do you know him, too? 17598 Has Brown come back?"
17598Has he been so much to you that now you must sacrifice yourself needlessly for him?
17598Have I ever denied it?
17598Have you ever heard of the''Little Yankee''mine?
17598Have you ever loved him?
17598Have you not lived sufficiently long in the West to discover that men of education are occasionally to be found in rough clothing?
17598Have you quarrelled already?
17598Have-- have you ever known me to lie?
17598He say dat? 17598 He say vat?
17598He? 17598 Help you how?
17598Here? 17598 Him?
17598How dare you hide here to halt me?
17598How deep are we down?
17598How did you chance to learn that my life was threatened?
17598How do you get down?
17598How does it occur that you are always standing directly in my passage whenever I step from the stage?
17598How f- f- far you g- g- going, Bill?
17598How far have you had to cut across here before striking color?
17598How th- the hell d- d- did he g- git hold o''that?
17598How''s that?
17598I do n''t know; but is n''t it true?
17598I scarcely understand, Hicks; do you mean you propose standing a siege?
17598I, Mr. Winston? 17598 I?
17598I? 17598 I?"
17598If I go, you will go?
17598If they were, what is there you can do?
17598If you really expect an attack from those fellows over there, is n''t it about time we were arranging for some defence?
17598Important, d- did you s- s- say?
17598In God''s name, for what?
17598In plainer words, you chance just now to have some special use for me?
17598In what?
17598Indeed?
17598Is Beth Norvell your real, or merely your stage name?
17598Is it because of that-- that charge he made?
17598Is it possible you mean that you wished me there?
17598Is it thought of divorce which yet remains so repugnant?
17598Is it true that you are now under arrest?
17598Is n''t this Mercedes''pony? 17598 Is not my love worthy?"
17598Is that a fast train? 17598 Is that all?"
17598Is that him? 17598 Is there any way I could get there before that time?"
17598Is there no other place where you can wait to do your work except in my exit?
17598Is there nothing else, Beth? 17598 Is what right?"
17598Lie?
17598Life on the stage appears to agree with you; or was it joy at getting rid of me?
17598Lofe? 17598 Lord, what do you care about my belief?
17598M- maybe yer imagine I d- did n''t m- m- mean what I s- said when I asked yer ter m- marry me?
17598M- maybe yer think I ai n''t in e- e- earnest?
17598May I have for this one time the pledge of your lips?
17598Maybe yer a- ain''t ready yit?
17598Maybe you tink I not know how ride? 17598 Me?
17598Mexicana?
17598Much about what?
17598My name ban Swanson; it ban all right, hey?
17598No; do you?
17598No? 17598 No?"
17598Not so bad a name, is it? 17598 Not so damned hard to catch on with, is she, when the right man tries it?"
17598Not there? 17598 Not through the stage door?"
17598Nothing?
17598Now, you get out o''yere; you hear me? 17598 Now?
17598Of course, I understand that; but what''s the use? 17598 Oh, he did, did he?"
17598Oh, is thet you come back, Stutter? 17598 Oh, why does n''t he go away without my having to tell him?"
17598Perfectly so; yet supposing I refuse?
17598Rather prefer not to have our late affair blowed to this particular young man, hey? 17598 Really, is that true?
17598Reckon we''re in a sort o''pickle, do n''t ye? 17598 Right away?"
17598Say dat I marry you?
17598Sh- show me, little girl-- in God''s n- name, show me wh- what?
17598Si, señorita; he not even talk funny, maybe he so excited he forgot how, hey? 17598 So he is at the''Little Yankee''?
17598So then you actually pity others while remaining totally unconcerned regarding yourself?
17598So yer got''em, hey?
17598Still hunting for Winston?
17598Stutter Brown? 17598 Sure; I''m wise; she has a couple of dandy rooms over at the old fort, just across the creek; you know where that is, do n''t you?"
17598Th- the feller w- who told''em ter f- f- fire?
17598That-- that fellow did n''t throw you, did he?
17598The Star? 17598 The man died?
17598The one in the costume of a peasant girl?
17598The right, you say? 17598 Then I may trust you in this?"
17598Then why do n''t you act the part of a man, and go to him yourself? 17598 Then you do not love him?"
17598Then you must care for me? 17598 Then,"he said slowly, weighing each word as though life depended on the proper choice,"there is nothing being concealed from me?
17598To-- to you?
17598Torn off the mask of unimpeachable virtue, have I?
17598Und dot is?
17598Vas dat not de bettah vay, señor? 17598 Vas dat you, Beell Heeks?"

17598W- which way d- did he go?
17598W- who is the f- f- feller?
17598Wal, do yer make out anythin''in partic''lar?
17598Warrants?
17598Was-- was it you, also, who placed those flowers upon my trunk last evening?
17598Well, ca n''t yer speak?

17598Wh- who told you that r- rot?

17598What difference can that possibly make now? 17598 What do you know regarding her?
17598What does that fellow owe you?
17598What else could I think? 17598 What is it you are so desirous of knowing?"
17598What is it you want?
17598What is it?
17598What is it?
17598What is the number of Miss Norvell''s room?
17598What is wanted?
17598What money?
17598What of that? 17598 What the hell are we up against?"
17598What the hell is it yer want, then?
17598What troupe is it?

17598What-- what is it ye want to see?
17598What-- what is it you wish?
17598What-- what was it you desired of Beth Norvell?
17598What? 17598 What?"
17598What?
17598When is the local east due here? 17598 Where are they now?"
17598Where did she go, do you know?
17598Where do you mean to take us?
17598Where does the girl live? 17598 Where is Mike?"
17598Where is the gentleman, Ben?
17598Where the hell is Swanson?
17598Where? 17598 Where?"
17598Who are yer? 17598 Who is it?
17598Who is running this show outfit?
17598Who is that?
17598Who laid out this work, do you know? 17598 Who the hell is that with him?"
17598Who told you so?
17598Who tould ye that loie? 17598 Who was it with Mercedes?"
17598Who-- who the divil be ye?
17598Who? 17598 Why did n''t you tell me first?"
17598Why do n''t you fools shoot?
17598Why do you ask me that?
17598Why do you ask? 17598 Why do you ask?"
17598Why?
17598Without ambition?
17598Work, is it? 17598 Worthy?
17598Would you mind telling me something regarding your plans? 17598 Would-- would it be too much if I were to ask you to permit me to take this first train alone?"
17598Y- y- you really m- mean it?
17598Ye measly spalpeen, ai n''t Oi bin shakin''of the rope fer twinty minutes? 17598 Ye think Oi''m a dommed fool?"
17598Yer d- did n''t mean that f- fer me, did yer?
17598Yes, and deliberately choose the Gayety instead-- what then?
17598Yes, yes; can you suppose I would ever permit you to go alone? 17598 Yes,"she acknowledged,"I am perfectly acquainted with the lines, but who is to play Ralph Wilde?"
17598Yes; who is it you mean?
17598Yet you came here to warn me against him?
17598You are what?
17598You ask vat I say? 17598 You believe I can?"
17598You confess this to me?

17598You do not believe me?
17598You do not care, do you? 17598 You enjoy my work?"
17598You expect to find complete satisfaction in this way?
17598You haf de pardner? 17598 You have decided how you are to live while we await each other?"
17598You have no reason to know this?
17598You have plans?

17598You mean we are helpless?
17598You mean we are shut in here for the night? 17598 You mean you-- you will go back to Biff Farnham?"

17598But can I?
17598But could this be accomplished without danger of his own discovery?
17598But marry?
17598But maybe it''s so because you no like me?"
17598But what?

17598Do yer think Mr. Biff Farnham under them circumstances is liable ter do the baby act?
17598Do yer think she did it?"
17598Do you give me your promise?"
17598Do you imagine my love so poor a thing as that?
17598Do you intend, then, to remain with the company?
17598Do you know her?"
17598Do you know why?
17598Do you know?"
17598Do you know?"
17598Do you manage to digest that fact, Hicks?"
17598Do you mind telling me where your home is?"
17598Do you suppose I can not forgive, can not excuse, can not blot out a past mistake?
17598Do-- do you believe that of me?"
17598Drop your muzzle on this native son, and if the fellow makes a suspicious move, plug him, you understand?"
17598Eet vas alvays de voman vat does like de vay you do, hey?
17598Ever hear tell o''Daggett Station?"
17598Farnham himself?
17598Farnham?"
17598Finally he blurted out:"Say, w- who are you, anyhow?"
17598Had he killed Burke?
17598Has it filled the void in your life?"
17598Has it satisfied?
17598Have I done wrong to speak thus?"
17598Have n''t been East before for a couple of years, have you, Ned?"
17598Have you any money?"
17598Have you never known any true, pure friendship existing between man and woman?
17598He big, strong, brav''; he bettah as ten men, hey?
17598He met her at the door with an indignantly suspicious question:"What have you been doing?
17598He opened his oies an''asked,''Is the boss mad?''
17598He so nice I just hate to have to fool him, but maybe I get chance to make eet all up some day-- you tink so?
17598He took a step toward her, hesitant, uncertain, his heart a- throb with sympathy; yet what could he say?
17598Here in San Juan?
17598Here you, Ole, what''s become o''Nelse Swanson?"
17598His glance wandered toward the dull sparkle of the exposed ore."I suppose you know who all this rightly belongs to, don''t you, Burke?"
17598How are you, anyhow?
17598How best might she accomplish that imperative duty of rescue?
17598How could happiness ever prove my portion, or yours through me, while such questionings continued to haunt my soul like ghosts?"
17598How could he hope to clear himself from the foul charge?
17598How dare you?
17598How do I get down, señor?"
17598How might he protect, shield her from the consequences of this awful act?
17598However, we are perfectly willing to be liberal-- how much do you want?"
17598I bay you now after one veek''s trial, when I know petter vot you are vort, hey?"
17598I go back to dat Farnham?
17598I make him to suffer, but not care; ees eet not so?
17598I never heard that you people went in for theatricals?"
17598I presume that statement was merely a bluff?"
17598I presume whatever you may desire to say will not require much time?"
17598I tol''you den I know not; I meet you only de twice-- how I lofe ven I meet you only de twice?"
17598I vas Mercedes--_si_; vas dat not enough?
17598I vas arrest?
17598I vonder vas all good out at de''Little Yankee''?
17598I wonder, is it not a dim consciousness of this that renders the stage so attractive to the multitude?
17598I''m after a doctor; how do you signal the cage?"
17598I-- I thought she rode away on him herself?"
17598In God''s name, why?"
17598In Heaven''s name, girl, in your life have you not long since learned this?
17598Is Miss Norvell here?"
17598Is dat eet, señorita?"
17598Is it a peculiarity of leading ladies?"
17598Is it impossible for you to comprehend such motives?"
17598Is it the water- tank and section- house, next stop below Bolton Junction, on the main line?"
17598Is it your wish that we part here?
17598Is n''t there any way leading out?"
17598Is that so?"
17598Is that sufficient?"
17598Is that true?
17598Is that you, Mike?"
17598Is there another troupe playing here?"
17598Is this fair?"
17598It is a little additional bond between us merely to feel interested in the same church, is n''t it?
17598Let''s see-- Number Twenty- seven, was n''t it?
17598Love?
17598Make much of a row?"
17598May I inquire in this connection if, by any freak of fortune, you can be Ned Winston, of Denver?"
17598Maybe dat last longer as lofe--_quien sabe_?"
17598Maybe so, maybe not so; how I tell yet for true?
17598Maybe you not know me, hey?
17598Maybe you soon grow ver''tire Mercedes, she marry you?"
17598Maybe you tink I vas''fraid of de dark?
17598Neither there?"
17598Nice place fer a picnic, ai n''t it?
17598No, no, you no like be lef''alone ven de fight come?
17598No?
17598Not Farnham?"
17598Not unreasonable, all things considered, is it?"
17598Nothing between you and this Farnham beyond what I already know?"
17598Nothing?
17598Now, Winston, you do n''t propose to tie yourself professionally with that sort of a beggarly outfit, do you?"
17598Now, how can it be done?
17598Now, under such circumstances, I presume you, as foreman, would be perfectly willing to show me exactly what is being accomplished down here?"
17598Now, vat you say, señor?
17598Now, will you aid me?"
17598Now, yer w- won''t say that no more, w- will yer?"
17598Oh, call him back; can not you call him back?"
17598Oi''m an O''Brien, do ye moind that?
17598Probably you are equally interested in the delicate art of Mr. T. Macready Lane?"
17598Probably, then, you no longer object to my telling the gentleman the story?"
17598Quite a natural proceeding on my part, is n''t it?
17598See?
17598Señor Farnham he say vat he do?"
17598Señor Farnham?
17598Should he confess his own equally mad mistake?
17598Should he tell her?
17598Si, for I know nice fellow, do I not,_ amigo_?
17598So maybe I show you sometime, maybe not--_quien sabe_?"
17598So vat ees de Señor Farnham to you?
17598So you refuse all endeavor to keep Winston out of this affair, do you?
17598So you vill show to me how de brav''Americanos dig out de yellow gold, señor?"
17598Stay?
17598Sure you do n''t need the house physician?"
17598Surely, you do not know the true nature of this place?"
17598Surely, you have n''t given all that money away?"
17598T- tell me, is she on the squar?"
17598Tell me what I am utterly unable to decide for myself alone: What is my duty, the duty of a woman situated as I am?"
17598Tell me, then, once for all, here before God, do you love me?"
17598Tell me, what are you doing here?"
17598Th- this yere is the h- h- hotel, ain''t it?
17598That''s a fair enough proposition, is n''t it?"
17598The only question is, Can any one hope to get through?"
17598They look sorter misty- like ter me from here; say, Stutter, what is a- happenin''over thar now, anyway?"
17598They''re a- keepin''quiet over there yet, ai n''t they, Stutter?
17598Tink you not eet vas so, señor?"
17598Understand?
17598Vas dat not de bettah, señor?"

17598Vould not dat be de bettah?"
17598Vy I not kill you?--hey?"
17598Vy not?
17598Vy you ever keep bodder me so, ven I good to you?
17598Vy you go to him in secret?
17598Vy you stay and talk so long?
17598Was he alone?"
17598Was that my cue?"
17598Was the g- gent a f- friend o''your''n?"
17598Wh- what is that g- girl to him, anyhow?"
17598What I came to ask was, does that fellow owe you any money?"
17598What are ye sittin''thar for, grinnin''at yer betthers?"
17598What can you mean by so false an insinuation?"
17598What cared he for the law, knowing the story of her life, knowing still that he loved her?
17598What connection could he hold, either in honor or dishonor, with the previous life history of Beth Norvell?
17598What could be the purpose of their delay?
17598What could he do?
17598What did he offer you, by the way?"
17598What do ye think of ther blatherin''baste annyhow, seeñorita?"
17598What do you say?"
17598What else could I think?"
17598What fresh deviltry was the desperate gambler engaged upon?
17598What harm, señor?
17598What has ever made her your enemy?"
17598What if I should say, I merely accepted the lesser of two evils-- in short, preferred your company to something I considered infinitely worse?"
17598What is it you are stacking me up against?"
17598What is it you desire me to do?"
17598What is it you know regarding her?"
17598What is it you mean?"
17598What is it, then, between us?
17598What is it?
17598What is it?"
17598What other tragedy was impending out there in the black night?
17598What other?
17598What ought he to attempt doing?
17598What possible part in the dusk of the shadowed past did that disreputable gambler play?
17598What right had she to lie there shuddering at destiny when lives-- his life-- might be trembling in the balance?
17598What right?"
17598What use?
17598What use?
17598What was all that firin''about just now?
17598What was he continuing to make such a fool of himself for, anyhow?
17598What was her pitiful pride in the balance against his life?
17598What was it the haythen said then, seeñorita?"
17598What was it yer did over beyant?"
17598What was the nature of this barrier beyond all surmounting?
17598What would he naturally think?
17598What would they say at home?"
17598What wud the loikes of ye work for Misther Hicks for?"
17598What''s happening?
17598What''s that?
17598What''s the name of ye, anny how?"
17598What''s the signal for the cage?"
17598What''s up, do you suppose-- negotiations?"
17598What, then, was it that was holding them apart?
17598What-- what Farnham?"
17598When can they get out of the Junction?"
17598Where did you get them?"
17598Where is he?"
17598Where?
17598Who did the engineering?"
17598Who is he?
17598Who vas de pardner?"
17598Who was it that rode away from here just now?
17598Whut''s up now, ye freckled- face ilephant, yer?"
17598Why do you continue to torture me so?
17598Why do you require to know?"
17598Why not you shoot me?"
17598Why not?
17598Why seek even to know of each other?
17598Why should he seek her, even although she bade him come?
17598Why wo n''t you go, and leave me here with him, until some one else comes?
17598Why wo n''t you go?
17598Why, in this, do you prefer hiding behind the skirts of a woman?"
17598Why, pray?"
17598Why, then, should they meet?
17598Why, what else could I do?
17598Why, what more is there?"
17598Why, when she had opportunity, did she fail to reveal to him Farnham''s threats, and warn him against impending danger?
17598Why?
17598Will it be possible for you to prove yourself innocent?"
17598Will that be long?"
17598Winston?"
17598Winston?"
17598Without any immediate revealment of his part in the tragedy?
17598Wo n''t yer just s- s- say it for me onct?"
17598Wo n''t you tell me if I am right?"
17598Would Farnham, in his desperation, his anxiety to cover up all evidences of crime, resort to strategy, or to force?
17598Would he ever fathom her full nature?
17598Would you mind if I questioned you just a little about yourself?"
17598Would you permit me to pass?"
17598Yet how could I escape such conviction?
17598Yet what could he do?
17598Yet what could he do?
17598Yet what could she hope to do?
17598Yet why should he?
17598You ai n''t a- goin''''long wid us, den, dis trip?
17598You are not afraid?"
17598You are, I understand, a mining engineer?"
17598You certainly do not hold my words against me?"
17598You come with me dot way, mein frient?"
17598You do n''t hafe to take dot bart mit me, or Meester Lane either, don''t it, hey?"
17598You do n''t vant Mooney to make lofe to you?

17598You have been with him?"

17598You know her, do n''t you?"
17598You know him, señorita?
17598You know him?"
17598You mean why it was you consented so easily?
17598You must love me, Beth?"
17598You really purpose dedicating your life to dramatic art?"
17598You ride good, hey?
17598You sabe all dat, señor?"
17598You sabe?"
17598You see that?"
17598You see the point?
17598You suppose I went to him this night through any deliberate choice of my own?
17598You tink I not feel, not care?
17598You tink dat too, señor?"
17598You tink dot I import some actors venever I change der pill?"
17598You tink so?
17598You tink so?
17598You understand that?
17598You understand?
17598You vant him, too?
17598You vant rob me of all thing?"
17598You vas dat great big all over, hey?
17598You vas vat Beell call Stutter Brown, I tink maybe?
17598You was askin''about our defence, Mr. Winston, when this yere love- sick kid butted in?"
17598You''re looking pretty white about the lips yourself, ai n''t sick, are you?"
17598You''re with him, are you?
17598You''ve heard of Lane, have n''t you?
17598You''ve sworn out a warrant for me on account of your wife?"
17598You, at least, believe this?"
17598You?
17598You_ comprende_, señor?
17598_ Bueno_?"
17598_ Sabe_?"
17598_ Sabe_?"
17598_ Sapristi_, why not?
17598a tinge of unrestrained delight apparent in the sudden roar,"an''was he hot?"
17598an''ye call them things names?
17598and you wish to serve him?
17598are you already going?"
17598at this hour of the night?"
17598but it vas fight all de time vid you, was n''t it, señor?
17598but what would the old man or that infernal prig of a brother of yours say, if they could only see you now?
17598did n''t I t- tell it all ter yer s- s- straight''nough last n- night?
17598do n''t you know me well enough by this time to comprehend that I always have my way, whatever the cost may be to others?
17598eet vas vat you call de vay of de vorld, de verligig; vas eet not so?
17598ever rend the false from the true?
17598he questioned,"Ned Winston, mining engineer?"
17598or dat I lose my vay?
17598or, for the matter of that, what do I care for you?
17598the object of their secrecy?
17598the reason why all these years had passed without his seeking her?
17598the young actress woman?
17598vat could I say?
17598vat you tink I am?
17598vat you vant-- an angel?
17598vy you follow me dis vay?
17598what can I do?"
17598what do I care for this fellow?
17598who de woman help like such a big Americano?"
17598would he ever understand this woman?
23487''Patchie Mohaves?
23487''Tonio brought news, did he not?
23487''Tonio, will you be seated?
23487And Case has your three hundred dollars?
23487And as to the first runner?
23487And did he not?
23487And run slap into ambush? 23487 And these two-- were?"
23487And you are going?
23487Another?
23487Apache Mohave? 23487 Apache- Mohave?
23487Are ye with me?
23487Bella, dear, have we anything that this incomprehensible creature could eat?
23487But how long will you hold to it?
23487But they have n''t hurt_ her?_ They surely would not hurt_ her_!
23487But-- Stella?
23487Can I speak with you a moment?
23487Can you get me up to Squadron Peak-- to- night?
23487Can you not think that here, and now, I might have greater need of every moment? 23487 Can you see anything yet, sir?"
23487Can you tell us, dear?
23487Caught? 23487 Could_ you_ have caught them and persuaded them had you gone alone?"
23487D''you mean you did n''t_ know_ the Apache- Mohaves were just as hostile as the rest?
23487Did he explain-- how it came about?
23487Did he mention any one-- in particular?
23487Did n''t I tell you? 23487 Did n''t Sanchez bring-- anything from Prescott?"
23487Did you lie again?
23487Did you lie?
23487Did you promise him safe conduct?
23487Did you see anything of''Tonio?
23487Did''Tonio tell you of what happened later-- of his attempt to shoot at Lieutenant Willett?
23487Do n''t you think he''ll-- learn to appreciate her?
23487Do they never bother you stealing or-- some way?
23487Do you mean he_ would_ answer-- that he would come in here?
23487Does it never rain here?
23487Does the mail usually reach you Sunday, sir?
23487Ever try threatening him with discharge?
23487Ever try? 23487 For heaven''s sake, doctor,"cried Archer to the assistant,"ca n''t you and Bentley devise something to still that poor creature?
23487Going?
23487He''ll be himself again before we are a week away, and you can say good- by for me, also to Miss Lilian, will you not?
23487Hefty, old boy, how much cash have you got in hand? 23487 How came you to put it there, sir?"
23487How can''Tonio be summoned in?
23487How does he know Comes Flying was killed? 23487 How is that, Bentley?"
23487How should I know?
23487How so? 23487 How soon can you let_ me_ be going?"
23487How''s Willett?
23487I did n''t hurt you, did I?
23487I? 23487 In God''s name, what was that?"
23487Is it a despatch-- for the general?
23487Is n''t it absurd to think of trying a dinner here?
23487Is n''t it good to see the real uniform again?
23487Is there anything else I can say-- or do?
23487Is''Tonio well?
23487Is-- it serious news?
23487May I be pardoned for suggesting that you would be wise to get out of this and-- a few hours''sleep? 23487 Mrs. Archer, Mrs. Stannard, will you come with me?"
23487No? 23487 Now, had anything happened-- had anything been said or done to account for his-- sensitiveness, we will call it?"
23487Oh, Mr. Strong, is it Mrs. Bennett-- or the boys?
23487Oh, then you''re not going on with us?
23487Oh,_ how_ did you get here?
23487Oh,_ when_ did you come?
23487Oh,_ where_ is Lilian?
23487Say it to Mrs. Darrah, will you? 23487 Send him-- word?"
23487Sergeant Malloy,said Archer,"did''Tonio tell you why he was mistrusted?"
23487Shall I call on Mr. Harris or Mr. Willett for scouts, sir?
23487Signalling? 23487 Sitting on what, Doyle?
23487Struck? 23487 Take their Sauterne hot or lukewarm?"
23487That so, Muñoz? 23487 The_ general_ said that?"
23487Then there has been a case? 23487 Then who did it?"
23487Then you_ knew_ the Apache Mohaves were in the Verde Valley-- and in Dead Man''s Cañon as late as last week-- that they had raided Stoner''s Ranch?
23487Then-- there was n''t any girl?--any letters?
23487We''re all on guard to- night, are n''t we, daughter?
23487Well, I suppose Willett''s glad of a chance to join his chief?
23487Well, what is it?
23487What I want to know,said the bookkeeper instantly, all deference to rank or station vanished from tone and manner,"is, do you see my raise now?"
23487What could you do?
23487What do you mean?
23487What else should I do?
23487What first caught your ear?
23487What for?
23487What have you there, Bonner?
23487What is it, Strong? 23487 What is it, Wettstein?"
23487What is it, sergeant?
23487What is it, sweet? 23487 What is it?"
23487What keeps them?
23487What on earth do you mean?
23487What truth?
23487What was the matter, Five?
23487What''s that about''Tonio?
23487What''s the matter with Case?
23487What''s the trouble?
23487What?
23487What_ do_ you wear when you call on the commanding officer?
23487What_ has_ happened, Case? 23487 Which way''d he go?"
23487Why did n''t you bring them in?
23487Why did n''t you make them come in?
23487Why the devil did n''t you go as you were?
23487Why-- what happened there?
23487Will you come in, Mr. Briggs? 23487 Wo n''t you sit down?"
23487Would he care to see me?
23487Would n''t you like to see Harold before you go?
23487You have heard-- tell me; has he-- has Willett told you anything?
23487You have your letter for Captain Turner?--and Woodrow is to follow Captain Stannard? 23487 You hear that, Harris?"
23487You know he is n''t quite so well to- day?
23487You mean-- you are going at once to marry her?
23487You mean?--you heard----?
23487You will pardon me, will you not, sir, if I ask a question? 23487 You''d rather not?"
23487You''ll come to see us soon, Mr. Harris? 23487 You?"
23487_ Must_ you make so early a start, Harris? 23487 _ Que quiere?_"he demanded, in the blunt vernacular of the service.
23487''Tonio?
23487After a six hours''ride she looks fresh as a daisy, all creamy white with-- but you would n''t understand----""What on earth kept them out so long?"
23487After all, how could any young fellow help loving her Lilian?
23487All were under surveillance, several under charges, but where was Case?
23487And if Mrs. Archer believed in''Tonio, on her husband''s account, what must have been Lilian''s conviction?
23487And the cavalry still out?
23487And the girl in her had yielded, as what girl would not?
23487But, talk of drying up, did you ever see the beat of him?"
23487Can he?"
23487Could he mean that they who killed Bennett were hostile Tontos, and that these who bore the poor widowed creature were of the Mohave blood?
23487Could you go in a moment?
23487Craney went so far as to ask Case would n''t he like a little whiskey to steady his nerves-- a cocktail to aid his appetite and stir his stomach?
23487Darrah?"
23487Did ever soldier have such contrary luck as did hers?
23487Did it mean that at last''Tonio would purposely fail him, now that there were some of his own people among the renegades?
23487Did n''t I tell you?"
23487Did n''t they find my own pistol, that''Tonio had stolen, where his fellows or he had dropped it in their flight?"
23487Did you know that two bands were out-- women and all-- without permits, and that was one thing that brought Lieutenant Harris and his scouts up here?"
23487Did-- he mean that-- Lieutenant Harris distrusted him?"
23487Discharge him?
23487Do n''t you know me well enough to know-- I''ve got to go?"
23487Do n''t you-- care to see him?"
23487Do you know what''s the trouble?"
23487Do you mean he has n''t been here-- hasn''t told you what''s happened?"
23487Do you?"
23487Going down to the store after awhile?"
23487Gunboats and''plebeskins''was full dress half the year round----"And just then it had occurred to him to put that question:"Does it never rain here?"
23487Had anything been heard of General Crook?
23487Had he not strenuously denied that his people took any part in the outrage?
23487Had her mother, after all, told her of the little hints they had received?
23487Had n''t they heard?
23487Had the hounds ravished the roast again, as once already had happened?
23487Had they met the Almy couriers on their way?
23487Harris said no Apache- Mohaves?"
23487Harris?"
23487Has she lost her mind, too?"
23487Have a smoke or a drink before you go?"
23487Have we nobody who can talk with this Indian?"
23487Have you tried signalling?"
23487Have you-- heard anything?"
23487He had said enough to induce Archer to hold his hand another day at least, so why use more ammunition until he had to?
23487He was for sending a"supplementary"that very evening, but who was there to send?
23487Hey, Willett?"
23487How could Harris help it?
23487How did you manage it?
23487How do I_ know_ it?"
23487How had he heard?
23487How was he ever going to admit to this uncompromising young campaigner that he had done him mighty wrong in his official despatch?
23487How''d you like me to call you''Buck''now?
23487How''d_ you_ settle wid Willett for the girl he did you out?
23487How_ does_ it look?"
23487If Harris could accomplish nothing worth mention, what could be expected of others?
23487If I do----""If you do-- that settles it---- What is it, dear?"
23487If he acquits''Tonio, whom in God''s name does he suspect?"
23487If so, why should''Tonio seem really to rejoice?
23487If''Tonio was really leader in the rescue, had nothing been seen of''Patchie Sanchez?
23487Is he all straight again?"
23487Is it not so, Stannard?"
23487Is there no one else he''ll meet who can understand him?"
23487Looks like a regular_ com_bine, does n''t it?"
23487Moreover, as some one said in speaking of the sudden engagement,"It came about on a Friday evening, did n''t it?"
23487Moreover, with so many hostiles on every side, was he justified in stripping the post of its defenders?
23487Mrs. Archer clung to and hovered about her, silent, for what was there to say?
23487One of these days you''ll get your double bars, if you do n''t die of over- eating, and then how will you like it to be called''cap''?
23487Persuaded?
23487Poor comfort at best, yet what one of us would not have sought it rather than nothing?
23487Sangaree?
23487See''em-- down there by the willows?
23487Shall--_we_?"
23487So upon his fellow staff officer he projected himself with proper welcome, and the first question Bright asked was:"How are the Archers?"
23487Stannard?"
23487Sure you need no further escort?"
23487The man does n''t deserve to live that-- that could be untrue to a girl like that?"
23487The olla?
23487The one question was, how had''Tonio succeeded in luring his victim, unarmed, to the spot, and why had he left his vengeance unfinished?
23487They want something to cool their dainty palates, but men, sir, and soldiers---- What''s this, Bella, Bellisima?
23487To his question in her own tongue,"Where is''Tonio?"
23487Was he not now insisting that they were active in bearing her away-- probably to captivity and a fate too horrible?
23487Was it in compensation for this that he stood so beloved of women?
23487Was it necessary to wake him?
23487Was it possible she too felt the premonition that had come to him?
23487Was not word sent them by Arahawa?"
23487Was there--_is_ there-- any one who could-- who would--_well_, who-- had any reason?"
23487What Indian ever forgave that affront?
23487What can I do for you without the drink?"
23487What do you think he called me"--she gave a queer little nervous laugh--"just a moment ago as I was fanning him?"
23487What else could Mrs. Stannard have said when she saw that winsome, yet appealing little face?
23487What for, I wonder?"
23487What has happened that he should be afraid to come in-- here?"
23487What man had ever yet prevailed against it?
23487What man would not have been at his best at such a time, under such circumstances?
23487What meant such affairs to her but a laugh?
23487What might she not say if she knew them all?
23487What mother would not oppose her precious daughter''s making her appearance at a dance in travelling garb, after a day of driving?
23487What other word have we for that feminine method, the resort of so very many, the remedy of so very few?
23487What was the sense in scaring her, anyway?
23487What was to be done?
23487What were their slights in comparison with the thrilling joy of this conquest?
23487What woman would not be?
23487What would n''t I-- we-- give for some?
23487What would you call the parallel to a_ nom de plume_?
23487What would you have coming from the west?"
23487What''s it now?"
23487What''s the matter, d''ye s''pose?"
23487What''s this I hear about your wanting to go up to McDowell?
23487What''s up, anyhow?"
23487What, general?
23487What-- what if men looked stern and women shrank?
23487When and where?"
23487Whence had come the gold?
23487Where and under what circumstances had he seen the man?
23487Where has Willett been-- all morning-- anyhow?
23487Who could have had it all this time but''Tonio?
23487Who does not like to hear praise of his wisdom, especially when self- inclined to doubt it?
23487Who else could have fired it?
23487Who on earth does he mean?"
23487Who should go-- but Willett?"
23487Who was it, Doyle?"
23487Who was to blame him?
23487Who''s going to Stannard?"
23487Who''s that horse for, orderly?"
23487Why did he fail?"
23487Why had n''t Harris quietly given him the tip?
23487Why should any man have to have a past, when love such as this was possible?
23487Why should he not go?
23487Why should he not to the full rejoice in her delicious homage?--indulge her sweet rhapsodies?--encourage her fond day dreams?
23487Why should n''t Estelle enjoy dancing with such finished performers and partners?
23487Why should she wish to seek to hold him aloof?
23487Why, man, where have I-- or you-- ever known a girl like_ her_?
23487Why, what man could have been-- mad enough to do that?"
23487Will you give me your word-- your hand-- on that?"
23487Willett looked steadily at Case one moment before he spoke:"Is n''t this a trifle high for a gentleman''s game?"
23487Willett''s-- judgment?"
23487Willett, how soon are you coming over?
23487Willett?"
23487Willett?"
23487Willett?"
23487Willett?"
23487With whom?
23487You believe in''Tonio thoroughly, do n''t you?
23487You did n''t know it?
23487You did n''t see him?--that I''ve been dreaming as well as drunk?
23487You mean you did n''t hear this?
23487You think_ you_ can reach him?"
23487_ Could_ there have been collusion?
23487_ Nom de chien?__ Nom de_--something visionary, at all events.
23487and Craney, listening and watching, turned to Watts and asked had Case begun again?
23487and-- what have we to expect at Almy?"
23487d''ye see that?
23487how?"
23487was n''t it-- didn''t they dance-- beautifully?"
14654''Ow was I born, I ask? 14654 ''Sleep?"
14654''Tis paralyzed, is it, that shaky little finger?
14654A comradeship?
14654Ai n''t intrudin'', am I?
14654Ai n''t she a peach?
14654All of which signifies?
14654Am I not bailing satisfactorily?
14654An''I dragged ye out by the hair o''yer head?
14654An''did ye niver hear tell iv the time Dave an''me got drunk on condensed milk?
14654An''what iv it?
14654An''what iv it?
14654An''why are ye askin''?
14654And Jacob Welse is your old man? 14654 And all to what end?"
14654And danced with her?
14654And finally?
14654And for why?
14654And had the door of Borg''s cabin been closed, would you have heard?
14654And hast thou so soon forgotten, Tenas Hee- Hee?
14654And have n''t I agreed to stop over? 14654 And how did Mr. St. Vincent acquit himself?"
14654And how old are you now?
14654And if I dinna?
14654And if they do not hold up their hands?
14654And is it not delightful? 14654 And is n''t it enough?
14654And lost one of your new rubber boots?
14654And make''em climb up the hill to me? 14654 And miss the magnificence?
14654And no house on the ranch?
14654And pride?
14654And that will be?
14654And the compensation?
14654And then? 14654 And this time next year?"
14654And thou goest?
14654And what did you do?
14654And what do the three of you know?
14654And who shall deny? 14654 And why bad days, Muskim?"
14654And why is a white woman without honor among you?
14654And why not? 14654 And why was that?"
14654And why, pray?
14654And why?
14654And you did nothing?
14654And you know?--a woman?
14654And you met the prisoner there?
14654And you?
14654And your comrades? 14654 And, notwithstanding, I am forgiven?"
14654And-- and-- how does it go? 14654 And--?"
14654And?
14654Any public relief started yet?
14654Any questions you want to ask?
14654Anything on hand this evening?
14654Anything serious? 14654 Anything up?"
14654Are ye a brave man, Vincent?
14654Are you afraid?
14654Are you crazy, man?
14654Are you hurt?
14654Are-- are there any women in the other tents?
14654At it again, eh? 14654 At last what?"
14654At this very moment what are you working for? 14654 Bad?
14654Bear witness?
14654Because-- because--"Yes?
14654Bill''oo?
14654But I? 14654 But are you not going back to Dawson?"
14654But can not we be as gods, knowing good and evil?
14654But do n''t you think it is rather unfair to me?
14654But do you feel it, Vance?
14654But had n''t you better change? 14654 But have you nothing more definite?"
14654But have you read it?
14654But how about yourself, Matt?
14654But how? 14654 But is it said that it_ is_ that way?"
14654But is n''t that fine? 14654 But keep an eye on it, wo n''t you?"
14654But were there no Russians?
14654But what can you do?
14654But what do you intend to do?
14654But what do you know about this trail life?
14654But what in the world were you doing on trail, alone, at this time of night?
14654But what is the matter?
14654But what was it?
14654But what, Miss Prim?
14654But why am I the one to get it in the neck hard?
14654But why did n''t they come in?
14654But why did n''t you call out to them?
14654But why did you hit him?
14654But why have you asked, father? 14654 But why is it?"
14654But you did not see it?
14654But you did not see who did the shooting?
14654But you will take me, surely?
14654But you, Mr. St. Vincent, do you think I shall be so successful that I may come to love it? 14654 Ca n''t I get that other five hundred?
14654Ca n''t you smell them oranges?
14654Can I be of any help?
14654Can I be of any use?
14654Can I do anything?
14654Can I make Deep Lake to- night?
14654Can you give his words?
14654Can you not put into some sort of coherence some one certain thing of the things you feel?
14654Centigrade or Fahrenheit?
14654Could you see him so as to know that it was he?
14654Could you?
14654Curious, ai n''t it?
14654D''ye want to bet?
14654Danger?
14654Did John Borg call for help?
14654Did he call any more for help?
14654Did he say anything?
14654Did n''t I tell you it was a hunch?
14654Did n''t tell you''bout his visit to the cathedral, did he, when he was on the Outside? 14654 Did she?"
14654Did you hear that? 14654 Did you see anything peculiar about him?"
14654Do n''t I know? 14654 Do n''t you cotton to her?
14654Do n''t you see,St. Vincent said to Frona,"there is no hope?"
14654Do n''t you understand? 14654 Do not the women wear brighter colors?
14654Do you believe in a white friendship?
14654Do you care to pull out?
14654Do you know her? 14654 Do you know what I am going to say next?"
14654Do you not think so?
14654Do you see that big log- house? 14654 Do you think I am afraid of their hospitality?"
14654Do you think I am wrong?
14654Does he move?
14654Does it seem real to you, Vance?
14654Eh?
14654Else you would have prevented?
14654Ergo?
14654Fifty?
14654For why?
14654For your own stomach?
14654Forgot to fill it, did n''t I? 14654 Frona Welse?"
14654Going out?
14654Got a hack?
14654Got any lime juice?
14654Had n''t you better go back and get your moccasins?
14654Had you a revolver?
14654Has anything happened?
14654Have you been in the country long?
14654Have you ever roughed it?
14654Have you the shavings cut?
14654He did n''t rescue you over a cliff, or that sort of thing, did he? 14654 He''s been telling you--?"
14654He? 14654 How can I, ye fule?
14654How can you help? 14654 How cold do you make it, Del?
14654How could I forget?
14654How could I remember the Dyea days and be angry?
14654How dark? 14654 How did it happen?"
14654How do I know?
14654How do you know?
14654How do you know?
14654How do you mean?
14654How has the world been to you these twelve years?
14654How should I know what you have been hearing?
14654How should I know? 14654 How''d you fix the kid?"
14654How''s that?
14654How''s the famine?
14654How-- how did you do it?
14654How? 14654 How?"
14654I am sure that--"Frona could not display poor taste, eh?
14654I had thought you were well lessoned,she retorted;"what of the other women?"
14654I hope it is not serious?
14654I said it was a hunch; and I want to ring you in on it, savve? 14654 I suppose with the next breath you will be contending that all men are born free and equal, with a bundle of natural rights thrown in?
14654I suppose you sprang out of bed and gave the alarm?
14654If she is unfit, are you fit? 14654 If,"Brown asked,"such were the case, how can you explain away the fact that you came out of the struggle unmarked?
14654In any way?
14654In me time? 14654 In me?"
14654In other words?
14654Is it all over? 14654 Is it loaded?"
14654Is it off?
14654Is it the years are tellin'', puttin''the frost in me veins and chillin''the blood? 14654 Is it true, Gregory?"
14654Is it, Miss Welse? 14654 Is n''t the looks iv it enough?"
14654Is that enough?
14654Is that what ye''ve been doin''? 14654 Is there a man here''ll say I''m a coward?"
14654Is this the way--"To the benches of French Hill?
14654It is thou, Neepoosa?
14654It''s a''vera guid,he grinned up;"but dinna ye think a''ve suffeecient discreemeenation to judge for mysel''?
14654It''s water ye''d be thinkin''on, is it?
14654It''s yerself, Frona, is it? 14654 Jacob Welse ai n''t your old man, is he?"
14654Just my luck; but I got a good rest, so what''s the good of makin''a beef about it? 14654 Just what I asked,--what of it?"
14654Kerosene?
14654Love?
14654Me tell um go''way quickety- quick? 14654 Me?
14654Mr. Welse, Mr. Foster sent me to find out if he is to go on filling signed warehouse orders?
14654Murder?
14654My name is St. Vincent,he went on,"and--""What name?"
14654Need I tell my story?
14654No? 14654 Not the least leetle mite?
14654Now, Gregory,with a smile and salutation as she took the stool beside him,"what is it?"
14654Now, how can that be, baron?
14654Now, look here, young feller,his interlocutor continued,"d''ye mean to tell me you ever struck it in such- fangled way?"
14654One for the elect and one for the herd? 14654 Only the men are?"
14654Or is there a man who''ll even hint that I ever did a curlike act?
14654Or rather?
14654Or shame?
14654Pirate; eh?
14654Pretty healthy proposition, ai n''t she?
14654Russians? 14654 Said who did it?"
14654Savve the lingo?
14654Say, Corliss,he began at once,"d''you know what a hunch is?"
14654See here, Welse, what''s this mean?
14654Shall not? 14654 Shavings?"
14654So this is what you would call love?
14654So? 14654 So?
14654So?
14654Sorry you did n''t take my tip? 14654 Surely you will make a fight?"
14654Sweet''eart?
14654Taint?
14654Tell me, Vance, how did it feel? 14654 Tell you why your kisses have cheapened me?
14654That night, before he turned in, Borg set his burglar alarm--"Burglar alarm?
14654That your signature?
14654The one you previously said John Borg had borrowed?
14654The rale thing, the rale thing-- that is-- well, have ye been iver a father?
14654Then Lucile--?
14654Then what are you going to do about it?
14654Then who is the third one?
14654Then you would preach two doctrines?
14654Then, Mr. La Flitche, when you say the first shot, you do not mean necessarily the first shot fired, but rather the first shot you heard fired?
14654Thin it''s yer ownself afther all? 14654 Think so?"
14654Think so?
14654Think so?
14654Think yer funny, do n''t you?
14654This is you? 14654 This man, St. Vincent-- how is it between you?"
14654Tomorrow, did you say?
14654Vaudeville artist, I suppose?
14654We are old friends, did I not tell you? 14654 We can keep ahead,"Frona panted;"but we must get time to make the landing?"
14654Well, thin?
14654Well?
14654Well?
14654Well?
14654What about''m?
14654What are you doing here, anyway? 14654 What are you doing over here?
14654What can I do?
14654What did you think?
14654What did you think?
14654What do you happen to call it?
14654What do you think of love?
14654What for?
14654What has she come for?
14654What have I done?
14654What is it you are saying?
14654What is it?
14654What is it?
14654What is the matter?
14654What is the matter?
14654What of Lucile? 14654 What shall I do with him, father?"
14654What shavings?
14654What would you do, then?
14654What would you? 14654 What year was it?"
14654What''d you stop me for, anyway? 14654 What''ll it be?"
14654What''s the good iv botherin''?
14654What''s the matter, Frona?
14654What''s the matter?
14654What''s the matter?
14654What''s the use?
14654What''s this I''m hearin''about you an''Vincent?
14654What''s up?
14654What''s up?
14654What? 14654 What?"
14654What?
14654When will it go?
14654When you came to the door, what was your first thought?
14654When you know I love you?
14654Where did you learn to paddle?
14654Where is your fake, baron?
14654Where''d I leave''m?
14654Where''re you off to?
14654Where''s McPherson?
14654Where''s his pardner? 14654 Who is helping you in your defence?"
14654Who is the lean, smooth- faced one? 14654 Who was the man?"
14654Who would think it mid- May?
14654Who''s afeared?
14654Who''s the girl?
14654Who? 14654 Who?
14654Who? 14654 Who?
14654Whom have I to thank, gentlemen?
14654Whom?
14654Why couldna she bide a bit?
14654Why did n''t you come yesterday, and Tim McReady to- day?
14654Why did n''t you tell me?
14654Why did you not tell this story at first?
14654Why did you strike him, Del?
14654Why did your comrades leave you?
14654Why do n''t yeh learn to row?
14654Why do n''t you smell out the sugar, Dave?
14654Why do n''t you waltz in and win?
14654Why do you smile?
14654Why were you not a boy?
14654Why wo n''t you help me, Vance, instead of making it harder? 14654 Why, certainly not--""No intrudin''?"
14654Why? 14654 Why?"
14654Why?
14654Why?
14654Will you?
14654Wo n''t it be jolly? 14654 Women?"
14654Women?
14654Worried? 14654 Wot is she?"
14654Wot''s the matter with a toddy?
14654Ye''ll no try it anither?
14654Yes?
14654You are hurt? 14654 You consider her affection sudden, eh?
14654You did not see who did it?
14654You do n''t mean to say,--that--?
14654You do n''t, eh? 14654 You do not know of your own knowledge who committed this murder?"
14654You recollect Cornell, Corliss? 14654 You say it was very dark, Mr. La Flitche?"
14654You were in Japan?
14654You were n''t worried, were you?
14654You will, will you?
14654You''ave? 14654 You''re not--?"
14654You-- are-- Frona-- Welse?
14654Your father is not Jacob Welse?
14654_ How far do you think it is_?
14654_ How far is it_?
14654_ How far to French Hill_?
14654''But what''s the use iv likin''?''
14654''How''d ye like a sip iv Moran''s good whiskey?''
14654''How''ll ye do it?''
14654''Oo cared a rap, I say?
14654''Oo cared a rap?"
14654''Oo guv a cent for me, or''ow I was dragged up?
14654''What the matter?''
14654''Who did it, Bella?''
14654A bright, white friendship, a comradeship, as it were?"
14654A coming in out of the cold to sit by your fire?
14654A comradeship?
14654A likely lad, an''is it for me to misjudge because his is a- takin''way with the ladies?
14654A man, in irritated tones, was questioning over and over,"Where''s his pardner?
14654About a Welse?
14654After all, could he understand?
14654Ah?
14654Ai n''t he got a pardner?"
14654Ai n''t he got a pardner?"
14654Among the Chow Chuen?"
14654An''about that sugar?
14654An''my old woman?
14654An''ye can ask why?"
14654And I presume you are a queen, too?"
14654And I say,''Bella, who did it?''
14654And Laura, there, would n''t she make a mother?
14654And art thou not remembered with the ancient offerings of meat and fish and blanket?
14654And as between individuals so minded, why should it not be so regarded?
14654And by the way, when does your daughter arrive?"
14654And it is wrong of you--""To prevint ye walkin''blind into danger?"
14654And it was all so simple, she had contended; why should not their faith be as her faith--_the faith of food and blanket_?
14654And nutmeg?
14654And she roll her head on the floor and whisper, so low, so slow,''Him dead?''
14654And since this is a sort of a forlorn hope, you know, why not?"
14654And the men; how should they know?"
14654And to what end?
14654And why?
14654And you, pray what may you give him?
14654And, now, does it pay?"
14654And--""And?"
14654Another one was, why did he run down the trail?
14654Any sugar, Mr. Corliss?
14654Are n''t you stiff?"
14654Are not the bellies fuller with flour and bacon and white man''s grub?
14654Are they not exasperating, Frona?
14654Are you awake?"
14654Are you awake?"
14654Art, poetry, music,--what do I know of them?
14654As it is, a woman, made to be the delight of some man, you must pass from me-- to- morrow, next day, this time next year, who knows how soon?
14654Because of women, which you may explain away?
14654Better go round to the warehouse an''git it, eh?
14654Between the clump of pines and the river?
14654Bishop?"
14654But Mr. St. Vincent, before you go, would you care to come to- morrow evening?
14654But a coming in when another man sits with you by your fire?
14654But have ye felt the love iv a father, thin?"
14654But shall I tell you?"
14654But she refused to take notice, saying, instead,"Vance, do you know I''m glad we''re friends?"
14654But suppose it is as you say, what of it?"
14654But the man, Frona, the man?"
14654But there comes a time when the mother''s counsel is needed, and you, you who never knew one?"
14654But these men,--you know what mob rule is,--how are we to persuade them to let you go?
14654But what about the reindeer- stealing and the greasy princesses?"
14654But why are ye lingerin''?
14654But, Vincent, bye, did ye iver know the rale thing?"
14654But-- have you considered me?"
14654CHAPTER VIII"And why should I not be proud of my race?"
14654CHAPTER XVII"Tired?"
14654CHAPTER XXI"Yes; what does it all mean?"
14654Ca n''t you guess the rest, Matt?"
14654Can I be of any use?"
14654Can I help you?"
14654Can he see you?"
14654Can we do it?"
14654Can you guess why?"
14654Can you help any of these things?"
14654Can you show cause for the woman to die with a lie on her lips?
14654Cinnamon, then?
14654Contamination contaminates, does it not?
14654Corliss got up, stretched, and moved the kerosene lamp from the shelf to the table,"Think it will hold out?"
14654Could it be, after all, that Lucile was mercenary?
14654Could n''t follow me, eh?
14654Could n''t she take that and go anywhere in the world and reinstate herself?
14654D''ye hear my spiel?
14654D''ye hear?"
14654Dave, I believe, Dave Harney?"
14654Did Dave Harney succeed in getting any sugar out of you?"
14654Did n''t Blanche tell me she wet her feet?"
14654Did she desire to give him his dismissal on a definite, well- understood basis?
14654Did she so favor all men who delighted her by word or deed?
14654Did you ever go snoozin''round after pockets?
14654Did you not hold aloof and watch yourself play the brute?"
14654Do n''t mind, do you?"
14654Do n''t you hear them?"
14654Do n''t you like her?"
14654Do n''t you like her?--Lucile?"
14654Do n''t you remember, I, too, was a cave- woman, brandishing the whip over your head?
14654Do n''t you see?
14654Do n''t you see?
14654Do n''t you see?
14654Do n''t you see?"
14654Do not the young men contrive great wealth what of their pack- straps and paddles?
14654Do you feel with Ruth, so that when the time comes you can say,''Thy people are my people, and thy God my God''?"
14654Do you hear?
14654Do you make out anything?
14654Do you not hear?
14654Do you realize that for the first time in our lives we talk together seriously, as father and daughter,--for the first time?
14654Does the man want food, or medicine, or what?
14654Drink?
14654Eh?
14654Eh?
14654Fifty?
14654Fifty?"
14654Get a pry on his mouth, will ye?"
14654Goin''all the way in?"
14654Goin''my way?"
14654Goin''out?
14654Goin''to see her off?
14654Going to join them?"
14654Got any rubber boots?"
14654Had he not said it was too rough?
14654Had n''t you better go back after him?"
14654Had she any reason to hate you?
14654Had you done her or her husband an injury?"
14654Had your door been closed, do you think you could have heard that first shot?"
14654Have I not described it rightly?
14654He cry and stand in one place--""Who cried?"
14654He pointed an ominous finger at her and said sternly,"Where is your skirt?"
14654He seemed suddenly to remember himself, and added a little sheepishly,"The fact is, we''re all danged glad to see you, ai n''t we, girls?"
14654He turned into the blankets all- standing, and as he dozed off Vance could hear him muttering,"_ How far is it, my man_?
14654How can I?
14654How could I avoid floundering in it, fighting as I was for life?
14654How could I know whether it was for good or ill when you drifted a distant speck on the river?
14654How could there be so many people in the world?
14654How did you know it was John you met?"
14654How do you mean?"
14654How is it, if you put up such a stiff fight, that you escaped being battered?"
14654How old were you?"
14654How''d a good juicy tenderloin strike you just now, green onions, fried potatoes, and fixin''s on the side?
14654Hunch?"
14654I can buy grub and blankets for a score; I can eat and sleep for only one; ergo, why not for two?"
14654I can, but how dare I?
14654I did not wish to give you pain--""Then you expected it, some time?"
14654I say, do you think I could delight in your delights?
14654I''m tired and worried; ca n''t you leave me alone?
14654I''preciate your position, an''I ai n''t low- down critter enough to pester--""What''s the good of spilling words, Dave?
14654If I lick you, will you come up the hillside with me?"
14654If she felt impelled to joy in a well- built frame and well- shaped muscle, why should she restrain?
14654If you come you will die, and what then of| your wife and babies?
14654If you had n''t, we would soon have been quarrelling, would n''t we, Miss Welse?"
14654Innocent of what?
14654Innocent of what?
14654Is it in the way a woman must like a man before she can honestly share her life with him, lose herself in him?
14654Is it not marvellous?"
14654Is it not so?
14654Is it not-- not-- what you Yankees call-- a bute?"
14654Is it not?"
14654Is n''t that it?"
14654Is that her name?
14654Is the syndicate bent upon cornering the firewood also?"
14654It is hard on you, surely, but do you imagine that I am enjoying it?
14654It''s unfortunate, is n''t it, the aptitude they display in getting lost from their outfits?
14654Just a sure and delicate poise of mind and body--""Like the tight- rope dancer?"
14654Just because the swate creatures smile on the lad an''flutter warm at the sight iv him?
14654Just so- so-- savve?
14654Lie upon lie he has given us; he has been proven a chronic liar; are you to believe this last and fearfully impossible lie?
14654Lift the hammer, will ye?"
14654London?
14654May I see you?
14654May she go up to the Barracks and consort with the captain''s lady, make social calls on Mrs. Schoville, or chum with Frona?
14654May you cast the first stone with that smugly sanctimonious air of yours?"
14654Me?
14654Me?
14654Me?"
14654Me?"
14654Me?"
14654Might not the same plaint fall from your father''s lips were he to sit now beside you and look upon your work and you?"
14654More time?
14654Most excellent, is it not?"
14654Moving?"
14654My kisses have cheapened you, eh?
14654Never an invalid?"
14654Never heard of Jacob Welse?
14654No?
14654Of Matt McCarthy?
14654Of the Indian boys she had played with?
14654Of the Indian girls she had led to Amazonian war?
14654Of the very wolf- dogs straining in the harnesses and running with her across the snow?
14654Off with the old love''s a stiff proposition, eh?"
14654Oh, what shall I do?
14654Or was she penitently striving to make amends for the unmerited harshness she had dealt him?
14654Or would it droop limp and lifeless, withered by the heats of the world other than the little simple, natural Dyea world?
14654Pirate, am I?
14654Pocketing''s got nothing to do with this here trial, and why do n''t you shut such fool questions out?
14654Recollect the taffy I made over on Preacher Creek that time?
14654Remember the time I went swimming with the Siwash girls from the Indian camp?"
14654Remember?"
14654Savve?
14654Savve?"
14654Say, Welse, not that my nose is out of joint, but you jest cinched me everlastin''on sugar, did n''t you?"
14654So Frona made her cease, and then, with bold inconsistency,"And what may the woman Lucile give him?"
14654So?"
14654St. Vincent''s concerned?"
14654St. Vincent?
14654Strong to venture, strong to endure, with infinite faith and infinite patience, is it to be wondered at?"
14654Suppose the upper jam breaks and the lower jam holds?"
14654Suppose you cut her off from the Opera House,--what then?
14654Sure to- night?"
14654Tell him that Gregory St. Vincent is in trouble; that he is charged with-- What are you charged with, Gregory?"
14654That you?"
14654The dummy could a- got a hundred fer it, easy, if he''d held on till he made town--""But what does it say?
14654The faith of Jacob Welse?
14654The faith of trail and hunting camp?
14654The faith with which strong clean men faced the quick danger and sudden death by field and flood?
14654The little motherless darlin'', with the goold hair I combed the knots out iv many''s the time?
14654The little witch that run barefoot an''barelegged over all the place?"
14654The one with the blue shirt and the patch on his knee?"
14654The question is, Will you stand up with me?"
14654Them all tuckered out with their own work?
14654Then how must you have felt at Happy Camp on the Dyea Trail?"
14654Then you, what do you here with me?
14654There will be?"
14654They all knew her, for who did not know Jacob Welse''s daughter?
14654They are miners?"
14654To take advantage of her sex and further humiliate him?
14654To tell him what she thought of him in coolly considered, cold- measured terms?
14654To that which I did know there has been added, somehow( what shall I call it?
14654To- night, Dave?
14654Tommy?
14654Turning to the woman by the stove,"How''re you feeling, Blanche?"
14654Understand?"
14654Understand?"
14654Understand?"
14654Understand?"
14654Unhappily, it rests with the men of this miners''meeting, and the problem is: how are they to be convinced of your innocence?
14654Vincent?"
14654Vincent?"
14654Vincent?"
14654Vincent?"
14654Vincent?"
14654Vincent?"
14654Vincent?"
14654Was it not very probable, therefore, that the masked men were two such enemies?
14654Was there not a difference which prevented him from comprehending the motives which, for her, were impelling?
14654Weigh probably one hundred and sixty- five?"
14654Were the symptoms yours?
14654What are you and I against the many?"
14654What are you going to do about it?
14654What are you going to do about it?"
14654What are you trying to get?"
14654What could I do?
14654What did she think about it, anyway?
14654What did she wish to say to him?
14654What did you attempt?"
14654What do you know about it?
14654What do you think about it?"
14654What do you think of him?
14654What do you think of it?"
14654What end?
14654What is it?
14654What is that?"
14654What more do you want?"
14654What more would you?"
14654What race is to rise up and overwhelm us?"
14654What shall I do then?"
14654What shall I do?"
14654What shall it be?"
14654What was good and bad?
14654What''s it stand for?"
14654When did you last see Lucile?"
14654When does the Laura start?"
14654Where d''you s''pose this Eldorado gold came from?--rough, and no signs of washin''?
14654Where have you been keeping yourself?"
14654Where is the magnificence?
14654Where were you before you came in?
14654Where''ll you have him?"
14654Who can doubt it?"
14654Who iver heard iv a Welse not knowin''their own mind?
14654Who knoweth where?"
14654Who?
14654Why bad days, Muskim?"
14654Why has Mr. St. Vincent been raised?
14654Why have you fared into the north, if not to lay hands on the race legacy?"
14654Why not?
14654Why not?
14654Why not?"
14654Why should I no sing my ain sang?"
14654Why should she not love the body, and without shame?
14654Why''n''t you let me paste''m that night at the Opera House?"
14654Will the Indian, the Negro, or the Mongol ever conquer the Teuton?
14654Will ye give six cans iv milk for a bottle iv the old stuff?''
14654Will you escort her, in daylight, down the public street?"
14654Will you forgive me?"
14654Will you please tell the court what you know of his general character?"
14654Will you take me down to Dawson?
14654Wo n''t you tell me your name?
14654Wonder why he did n''t go in for dogs?"
14654Wot was my old man?
14654Would the Welse remain the Welse?
14654Would the blood persist?
14654Would the young shoot rise straight and tall and strong, green with sap and fresh and vigorous?
14654Would you?
14654Ye must be twinty now?"
14654You are going to have Del Bishop work for you; by what equal free- born right will he work for you, or you suffer him to work?"
14654You do n''t intend me to starve?"
14654You t''ink yes?
14654You were saying?"
14654You would be a democrat in theory and an aristocrat in practice?
14654Yourself?
14654^Anything uncommon, out of the ordinary?"
14654_ How far is it, my man_?"
14654_ I say, how far is it_?"
14654about her?
14654and then?"
14654he demanded, hotly, throwing down the paper,"this disease of the agglutinated dust?"
14654now?"
14654the Virgin broke in;"or a punch?"
14654who knoweth where?"
14654who shall deny?"
11093''A which?'' 11093 ''Are you English?''
11093''I?'' 11093 ''May I know your name?''
11093''Poor''Conklin? 11093 ''Some what?''
11093''Who''s there?'' 11093 ''Would I seem to be askin''too many questions,''says Sandy, terrible polite,''if I inquires if bar whisky ai n''t good enough for you?''
11093A grave? 11093 A little drink right now to help you along, eh?"
11093A story about Drew''s wife?
11093A tenderfoot get fresh with me? 11093 A tenderfoot like you make love to me?
11093A young fellow in your position ca n''t have a boor for a father, eh?
11093Afraid of me, Sally?
11093After all,she murmured aloud,"do I want to be a woman?"
11093After you dropped him the other night?
11093Ah, you''re here again, Nash? 11093 Ai n''t I to have no sleep no more?
11093Ai n''t been long around here, eh?
11093Ai n''t you finding enough?
11093Ai n''t you raised your hell-- the hell you was hungry to raise? 11093 All of which means,"suggested Nash,"that Sandy has been licked?"
11093All silence-- like this?
11093Am I blind?
11093Am I runnin''a hotel?
11093An''you like him still?
11093And Drew?
11093And I like the characters, do n''t you? 11093 And Sally done it?"
11093And do you know who Anthony Bard is?
11093And face him without a gun?
11093And let you go after Bard?
11093And me,said Calamity Ben,"what do I get?"
11093And my work?
11093And now,said Anthony,"the only excitement you get is out of books-- and running the labourers?"
11093And of course that made them throw every cent they had against you?
11093And shot down while''resistin''arrest''? 11093 And then start after him with a gang?"
11093And there''ll be no more of this infernal Western nonsense that you''re always reverting to? 11093 And we heard Tom say, sort of quaverin'':''God''s sake, boys, what d''you think I am?''
11093And what else happened?
11093And you do n''t know him?
11093And you really think there''s nothing which distinguishes the Westerner from the Easterner?
11093And you sent him?
11093And you told him?
11093And you''re going the full limit of your power against Bard?
11093And you?
11093Angry?
11093Anthony, ai n''t this better''n marriage?
11093Anthony, what are you going to do?
11093Anything wrong with it?
11093Apprehend him?
11093Are all these fellows something other than they seem?
11093Are n''t you taking anything, sir?
11093Are you Drew?
11093Are you William Drew?
11093Are you double- crossin''me, Steve?
11093Are you goin''to murder a tenderfoot among you? 11093 Are you sneezin''or talkin''English?"
11093Are you such a plumb fool as that?
11093Are you tired of Long Island?
11093Are you tryin''to cover the tenderfoot, Drew?
11093Bantry? 11093 Bard,"she called,"what have I done?"
11093Bard? 11093 Bard?"
11093Because of Bard?
11093Because-- because-- well, can I leave a baby alone near a fire? 11093 Been taking the money from the boys again, Steve?
11093Blood will out? 11093 Bluff?"
11093Bluff?
11093Born gunman, eh? 11093 Broke his back, eh?"
11093But I thought--"That it was a big event? 11093 But a sure goer, eh?"
11093But how can you tell it''s sixty miles?
11093But my dear fellow-- won''t you take a chance?
11093But why the devil do n''t the boys get together if they know Butch is coming with his gunmen?
11093But you could n''t catch-- Bard?
11093But you did n''t?
11093But you do n''t think so?
11093But you wo n''t listen to Drew?
11093Butch Conklin?
11093By the way, what brings Drew over here every month?
11093By the way, what sort of a man is Drew?
11093Calamity-- pal,he said,"how''d you let a tenderfoot, a damned tenderfoot, do this?"
11093Can you beat that, Steve? 11093 City raised?"
11093Clear? 11093 Coming here?"
11093Company?
11093Conklin?
11093Could I camp here?
11093Crop''em? 11093 D''you know him?"
11093D''you know him?
11093D''you know these mountains?
11093D''you know what you''d be like, wanderin''around these mountains without a guide?
11093D''you mean this-- Drew?
11093D''you think I could be_ hired_ to give''em up? 11093 D''you think I''m talking for fun?"
11093D''you think that?
11093D''you think you could ever catch that bird alive?
11093Damn it, Butler, do n''t you know my voice? 11093 Did I?
11093Did he ask many questions about me?
11093Did he,asked Steve,"ride a piebald mustang?"
11093Did he?
11093Did they let that swine go in there?
11093Did you get his name?
11093Do n''t I know it? 11093 Do n''t know?"
11093Do n''t you know him?
11093Do n''t you think he''d let me?
11093Do you know how I explained your greyness to myself? 11093 Do you know what I kept sayin''to myself when I found you was gone?"
11093Does he know me?
11093Does n''t it look it?
11093Does that date mean as much as that to you?
11093Does that look final, Anthony?
11093Does this man''s life mean so much to you?
11093Drew''s old house?
11093Drew?
11093Drink?
11093Eh?
11093Eh?
11093Eh?
11093Eight miles?
11093Experienced? 11093 Feel sleepy?"
11093Feelin''fit agin, eh, damn your soul?
11093Ferguson? 11093 Fine bit of riding he showed, eh?"
11093Finish it? 11093 Fond of this book?"
11093For what, sir? 11093 Fresh with me?
11093Friend of yours?
11093Funny, ai n''t it? 11093 Glendin,"said the other with a sudden lowering of his voice,"has some other man been talking to you?"
11093Got away?
11093Got something on him?
11093H''ware ye, stranger? 11093 Has he really beat it away from you, Sally?"
11093Hate yourself, do n''t you, Bard?
11093Have I got spring- halt, maybe? 11093 Have a pleasant time?"
11093He did n''t steal the hoss?
11093He seems to be sleeping rather well-- though you hear his breathing?
11093Hello, Lawlor; what you doin''at the head of the table?
11093Him? 11093 Hits you pretty well under the knees, does n''t it?
11093Hope?
11093Horse stealing? 11093 How about it, Nash, will you take the chance with me?"
11093How d''you feel?
11093How do they know Conklin is coming? 11093 How do you know that?"
11093How do you mean that?
11093How far is he away?
11093How far is it to the ford?
11093How is it? 11093 How long ago was this?"
11093How long have they been gone?
11093How long will it take?
11093How the devil can you tell that, man?
11093How''d he get away with it?
11093How''d you happen to be lost in the hills?
11093How''d you sleep?
11093How''d you sleep?
11093How''ll I know him when I see him?
11093How''s that?
11093How''s that?
11093How?
11093I am very sorry,said Anthony,"will you forgive me?"
11093I ask you,cried Lawlor, with freshly risen wrath,"is that any way to go around talkin''about women?"
11093I do n''t suppose the old man described him before you started, maybe?
11093I do n''t suppose you know, eh?
11093I dunno; what d''you think, Murphy?
11093I figure you ai n''t sorry, son?
11093I may be about here for a few days and we might as well get acquainted, eh? 11093 I s''pose you''re here askin''after Bard?"
11093I say,he said,"may I have a bit of hot water to put in this coffee?"
11093I suppose you could lead me right to the spot?
11093I suppose you want the details of what happened here?
11093I suppose,he said gloomily,"that if I''d asked you to stay you''d have ridden off at once?"
11093I think you said something about Logan?
11093I wonder?
11093If you had your bead drawed an''somebody jogged your arm jest as you pulled the trigger, would you call it a miss?
11093If you have a feller cut out for your own meat,answered Nash,"d''you want to have any one else step in and take your meal away?"
11093Is eating in your place deviltry?
11093Is he done for?
11093Is he home?
11093Is he tangling himself up with some girl?
11093Is it Steve, honest?
11093Is it hard to sit like this-- silently? 11093 Is it possible?
11093Is it war, then?
11093Is it? 11093 Is that all?"
11093Is that your real name?
11093Is the sign of the truce still over his head, Sally?
11093Is there a doctor?
11093Is there any more, sir?
11093Is this a new stock?
11093Is this square?
11093It''s dropping?
11093Joan,he repeated;"your wife-- my mother?"
11093John Bard would have quit?
11093Kind of peeved, Nash, eh?
11093Know a good deal about buffaloes?
11093Know somethin''about hosses, eh?
11093Know you? 11093 Lad, it is the one thing we can do together, and after that?"
11093Lawlor?
11093Licked? 11093 Listen, Sally, forget what I''ve done, and--""Would you drop his trail, Steve?"
11093Logan, you poor old hornless maverick, d''you think I''m on somebody''s trail? 11093 Logan?"
11093Long ride for to- night, is n''t it?
11093Long- riders?
11093Luck?
11093Ma, are you goin''to let Sue talk like this-- right before a stranger?
11093Manners?
11093Maybe you been ridin''all night jest for fun?
11093Maybe you think we''re squatters that run a hotel?
11093Maybe you took the fall out of him yourself, Flanders?
11093Maybe you want to pay me?
11093Maybe you''d put a price on this tobacco, stranger?
11093Me go into the galley to wait on a blasted tenderfoot?
11093Me? 11093 Me?
11093Me? 11093 Me?"
11093Me?
11093Me?
11093Meaning that they''d talk about me? 11093 Mind if I went along?"
11093Must?
11093Nash?
11093No fooling about that damned old shack of a house; what''s wrong with Drew?
11093No? 11093 No?"
11093No?
11093Nonsense,frowned the son,"have n''t you a right to be comfortable in your own house?"
11093Nothing escapes you, does it?
11093Nothing to be ashamed of, is it? 11093 Now and then you''ve told me of a girl at Eldara-- I think her name is Sally Fortune?"
11093Now look here, Bantry, you have me dead to rights-- got me with the goods, so to speak, have n''t you?
11093Now what d''you think about fording it?
11093Now what is it, Steve?
11093Now, sir,turning to the reporter as the engine commenced to hum,"what''s your name?"
11093Now,she said, resting both hands on the table and leaning so that she could look him directly in the eye:"What''s Bard done now?
11093Own this land?
11093Pepper for their salt, eh?
11093Pretty fair run of game?
11093Queer how many habits we got the same, eh?
11093Real work?
11093Really?
11093Really?
11093Reasonably sure, however? 11093 Sally, d''you mean to say you''ve fallen for that cheap line of lingo he passes out?"
11093Same name as yours, eh?
11093Shall I follow him?
11093Shall I pass on the cigars?
11093She pretty fond of you?
11093Shorty,said Lawlor, with a sort of hopeless sadness,"ai n''t you never been educated to sing no better songs than that?"
11093Shot? 11093 So Joan died?"
11093So now you want his blood, Nash?
11093So soon, Nash?
11093So that''s the game, Steve?
11093So you climbed into the arena and rode the horse?
11093So you went an''done it?
11093Somebody been tellin''you?
11093Steve, are you goin''to leave us here to finish the job you started?
11093Steve,she said, with a sudden low tenseness of voice that sent a chill up Bard''s spinal cord,"Steve, what''s wrong?"
11093Sue, ai n''t you ashamed of yourself?
11093Sure,grinned Nash,"it keeps it in the family, eh?"
11093Swim it?
11093Swim the Saverack when she''s up? 11093 Takes it kind of hard, do n''t he?"
11093Texas?
11093That ai n''t a full- size forty- five, is it-- that one you''re packin''?
11093That so? 11093 That so?
11093That so?
11093That so?
11093That was all?
11093That your house over there? 11093 That''s another reason for you to get Bard, eh?
11093That''s hard on me, eh?
11093That''s where you was born? 11093 The bird seems to be flown, eh?"
11093The bullet passed right through the body, eh?
11093The girl? 11093 The grey does n''t belong to you?"
11093The place with the old house on it; the place Logan is?
11093Then of my method?
11093Then what the devil is it?
11093This Bard is something of a man?
11093This Bard,asked the cautious Lawlor,"is he any relation of old John Bard?"
11093This?
11093Thought your game was called, eh?
11093Three days?
11093Told them you were a professional gambler?
11093Too tired?
11093Very far from here?
11093Want me to leave you here, Bard?
11093Want me to let him wander around loose and kill another man-- in self- defence?
11093Want to see him bad?
11093Was I hired to punch cattle,he said,"or make a blasted, roarin''fool out of myself?"
11093Was he a ringer?
11093Was that all, Anthony?
11093Waste''em on common hands? 11093 We''ve done talkin''; it''s our time to listen; understand?"
11093Well, after you done it, are you ashamed to have it talked about? 11093 Well, do you see that bit of paper in the corner there up on the rafter?"
11093Well, you''re pretty sure that your suggestion will take me to the spot?
11093Well? 11093 Well?"
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Well?
11093Were you badly hurt?
11093What I say is, are you running this ranch or am I?
11093What about a glass of Scotch?
11093What about yourself?
11093What about?
11093What could I do? 11093 What cut?"
11093What d''_you_ want with him?
11093What d''ye mean?
11093What d''you mean by that?
11093What d''you mean by that?
11093What d''you mean, Sally?
11093What d''you mean?
11093What d''you mean?
11093What d''you mean?
11093What d''you mean?
11093What deviltry are you up to now, Steve?
11093What did Drew do yesterday?
11093What do you mean?
11093What do you think?
11093What does he want of me?
11093What does he want?
11093What happened?
11093What if it is?
11093What is it?
11093What kind?
11093What of it?
11093What of the feller that done it, Shorty?
11093What the hell are you lookin''at?
11093What the hell''s the matter now?
11093What time d''you want me to wake you up?
11093What trail are you on, Bard? 11093 What wakened you?"
11093What was it?
11093What was that?
11093What''d you do with a bum like that for a cook?
11093What''ll I sing?
11093What''s enough?
11093What''s he done?
11093What''s he done?
11093What''s he made of?
11093What''s his name?
11093What''s that?
11093What''s that?
11093What''s that?
11093What''s the chance of bunking here for three or four hours and gettin''a good feed for the hoss?
11093What''s wrong with Nash?
11093What''s wrong with that name?
11093What''s wrong?
11093What''s your name?
11093What? 11093 What?"
11093What_ do_ you want, Shorty?
11093When shall I start?
11093Where did the bullet strike you? 11093 Where is he?"
11093Where was you raised?
11093Where''s Bard?
11093Where''s Conklin?
11093Where''s Conklin?
11093Where''s Nash?
11093Where''s father? 11093 Where''s the chief?"
11093Where''s the folks?
11093Where''s your horse?
11093Where''s your side- kicker?
11093Where?
11093Where?
11093Where?
11093Which maybe you think a girl can dress without a mirror?
11093Which the general idea is me doing baby talk and sort of hypnotizing this Bard feller into coming along?
11093Which way do we travel?
11093Which who said I was his friend?
11093While I''m runnin''this here ranch you''re goin''to have manners, see?
11093Who fired him?
11093Who is Anthony?
11093Who is he? 11093 Who said John Bard?"
11093Who saw Ben shot?
11093Who says he will?
11093Who the devil is Anthony Bard?
11093Who''d stop him? 11093 Who''d you drop, Bard?"
11093Who, me? 11093 Who?
11093Who? 11093 Who?"
11093Whoever heard of''hair like the sunshine''? 11093 Why d''you suspect me?
11093Why d''you want Drew? 11093 Why did n''t you tell him he was welcome to do what he liked?
11093Why have you come?
11093Why him?
11093Why should I cover him?
11093Why should n''t I take a horse when they had shot down mine?
11093Why waste time?
11093Why''d they let him get away again?
11093Why''d you do it, then?
11093Why, you know who he is, do n''t you?
11093Why?
11093Why?
11093Wife-- sister-- sweetheart?
11093Will it keep up long?
11093Will you tell me?
11093William Drew?
11093William Drew?
11093With a pug nose-- freckles-- and all that?
11093Woodbury?
11093Would she call one thousand dollars in cash a start in the world-- and your job as foreman of my place, with twice the salary you have now?
11093Yes?
11093Yes?
11093You admit that''s what you want, Steve?
11093You did n''t mean to come back when you started?
11093You did?
11093You do n''t happen to be going back that way to- night?
11093You heard this story before?
11093You know me?
11093You poor fool,snarled Nash,"d''you think I''ll take a chance on keepin''_ him_ waiting?"
11093You read the writing on the headstone, eh?
11093You showed your hand, then? 11093 You tried his pulse and his temperature?"
11093You was huntin''over on the old place on the other side of the range?
11093You wo n''t go?
11093You woke up in the middle of the night?
11093You''re going to hit the trail in an hour, understand?
11093You''re pretty familiar with the Western country?
11093You''re sort of mad, Anthony?
11093_ These_ smokes?
11093''Did I hear you askin''for a lemonade?''
11093A dead voice answered Glendin:"What has set you on the trail of Bard?"
11093A faint voice called:"Who''s there?"
11093A muffled cursing rolled down to the cowpuncher, and then a sharp challenge:"Who''s there?"
11093A stir had passed among the cowpunchers and solemn stares of hate transfixed Lawlor, but he went on:"I''m askin''you, do these look rough?"
11093A window above him raised at length and a drawling voice, apparently overcome with sleep, called down:"What''s up in Eldara?"
11093After a little her voice called from the outside:"Anthony, have you had a look at the morning?"
11093Ai n''t it legal?"
11093Ai n''t they tame?
11093Ai n''t you through with him?
11093Am I goin''to work on you the rest of my life teachin''you how to serve cigars?"
11093Am I never to have a look at it?"
11093And Drew?
11093And Nash snarled in return:"If there was a chance, do n''t you think I''d take it?
11093And the other, looking down:"Try the current, I''ll stay here on the shore and if it gets too strong for you I''ll throw out a rope, eh?
11093And the wind is low, soft, musical, whispering, as you do now-- What if this were not a game of suppose, Sally?"
11093Anthony, do you believe me; do you forgive me?"
11093Anthony?"
11093Any relation of the old bird that was partners with you back about the year one?"
11093Apprehendin''a feller like Bard simply means to shoot him down and ask him to come along afterward, see?"
11093Are you angry?"
11093Are you busy?"
11093Are you fool enough to think that I''ll let you go?"
11093Are you goin''to play the dog now?
11093Are you in this house?"
11093Are you sure you saw the shot fired?"
11093As he expected, she said:"Go on; is the other reason as good as that one?"
11093As they hurried for the barn Kilrain asked:"What makes the chief act soft to that hell- raiser?"
11093At length:"Is that damned fool in Eldara?"
11093Bartender?''
11093Better saddle now--""And start back for Drew?"
11093Boys, are you comin''?"
11093But God, would n''t it be easy?
11093But I guess you seen that?"
11093But I suppose I''ll have to travel in a circle around the Little Brothers, keeping a sixty- mile radius?"
11093But hey, Steve, where you goin''?"
11093But is n''t it usual?
11093But tell me, what in God''s name makes him so thick with the tenderfoot?"
11093But the girl queried, in spite of this badinage:"Do you know his name?"
11093But this squares all scores between us, Steve?"
11093But what''s a man without a hoss on the range?
11093But will Glendin do it?"
11093But you''re lookin''sort of sleepy, stranger?"
11093But, good Lord, man, think what it will mean to me?"
11093By Anthony?
11093By the way, who owns that house over there?"
11093CHAPTER XI THE QUEST BEGINS"You know the old place on the other side of the range?"
11093Can you give me a place to sleep for the rest of the night?
11093Can you play your hand in that time?"
11093Care to tell me anything of it?"
11093Chief, you ai n''t maybe runnin''me a bit?"
11093Come out short at poker lately?"
11093Consequently they rose, and Dr. Young muttered at the ear of Glendin:"Is it possible, Deputy Glendin, that you''re going to use these fellows?"
11093Could you let me out here?"
11093D''you get me?"
11093D''you mind if I turn in on that bunk over there?"
11093D''you notice the hosses when we was in the barn?"
11093D''you really think I can let you take out Butch and his gunmen ag''in''Bard?
11093D''you say he come to your house right after Bard left it?"
11093D''you see that?"
11093D''you think they''d pass up a tree the size of that?"
11093Did he rustle a couple of your sheep?"
11093Did you let him know where you were taking him?"
11093Do I do it badly?"
11093Do I look as if whisky ai n''t good for a man?''
11093Do n''t I know?
11093Do n''t happen to have no fine- cut about you?"
11093Do n''t mind, do you?
11093Do n''t you know I''ve been through with that sort of game for a hell of a while?"
11093Do n''t you know no better than to smoke at the table?"
11093Do n''t you need help?"
11093Do n''t you see I''m givin''up everythin''that amounts to a damn with me?
11093Do n''t you see that Drew and Bard is pals now?
11093Do they look like rough uns?"
11093Do you forgive me?"
11093Do you mean to say you know that this particular tree is down?"
11093Do you understand?"
11093Doctor, you''re witness to that?"
11093Does he look like John Bard?
11093Drew, listen to me--""How many went after him?"
11093Drew?"
11093Eh, Anthony?"
11093Eventually a light showed in an upper window and a voice cried:"Who''s there?"
11093Ever fish those streams?"
11093Ever notice?
11093Ever notice?"
11093Ever play football?"
11093Every day he went to a secret room and cared for his revolver-- this gun here in my hand, you see?
11093Fatty, d''you think I''m sick?"
11093Feed him grain?"
11093Finally he bellers:''Who turned that damned tin- pan loose?''
11093From a vantage point behind a table, however, he ventured:"Then what is wrong?"
11093Get me?"
11093Got a place to write?
11093H''ware ye, Glendin?"
11093H''ware ye?"
11093Has he been in town?"
11093Have n''t I said I''d do it?"
11093He asked, controlling his voice:"Are you fond of Kant?"
11093He called over his shoulder:"What sort of a looking fellow?"
11093He considered a moment and then, with a smile:"It''s a bit awkward for both of us, is n''t it?
11093He cried:"How can I believe?
11093He insisted cruelly:"Why?"
11093He knows you were sent after him?"
11093He said aloud:"Are n''t you afraid that that black- eyed fellow will run a knife between your ribs one of these dark nights?"
11093He said aloud:"The way?
11093He said at last, controlling himself:"But I have your word; you''ve given up the thought of this Western life?"
11093He said in a rising tone:"What d''you know?"
11093He said suspiciously:"It''s got something to do with the tenderfoot in the room out there?"
11093He said, with almost an appeal in his voice:"Might n''t it have been one of the other boys, shooting at random?"
11093He said:"What of the man who loved me?
11093He shouted:"Give me luck?"
11093He started to his feet and repeated in a great voice, sweeping the room with a wild glance:"Who said John Bard?"
11093He told you about this?"
11093He waited again as long as he dared, then:"Do n''t you see that the last thing I want is to keep you with me?"
11093He''s got to_ ride_ here, understand?"
11093Hear me?"
11093His hand on the shoulder of Shorty, he cried:"Is he badly burned?"
11093His hand wandered slowly across her hair, and he said:"Sally, how close can we ever be to him?"
11093Horse-- gun- fighter-- woman; which?"
11093Hoss- liftin''?
11093How about you?"
11093How long since you ate?"
11093How many have you tried this method on, Bard?"
11093How would you have gone after''em, son?"
11093How''s everything with you?"
11093How''s everything?"
11093How''s he lookin''?"
11093How''s it goin''to turn out?
11093How''s that?"
11093I ask you, Glendin, is that self defence?"
11093I ask you: has he got a chance?"
11093I suppose you''ve heard that before?"
11093I thought I talked with you about that a month ago?"
11093I was just thinkin''of pa.""What''s he sore about?
11093I wonder if you could use a bit of the long green?
11093I''m asking your pardon, but who was your mother?"
11093If that noose had not settled?
11093If we could n''t finish Bard alone, how''d we make out ag''in''the two of them?
11093In God''s name, for what?"
11093In the first place because if you take the law into your own hands you''ll have me against you-- understand?"
11093In the meantime I can camp over there by that stream, eh?"
11093Is it possible?"
11093Is it true?"
11093Is n''t he now?''
11093Is n''t that clear?"
11093Is that a bad sign?"
11093It made her reckless of consequences; and when Nash asked,"Is he hangin''around behind the corner, maybe?"
11093Jansen, you was tellin''me about a blue- eyed girl in Sweden; have you forgot about her now?
11093Jerry, have you got a bar, or anything?
11093Just a game, eh?
11093Kilrain falling to the temptation, asked:"Where''s the key to the cabinet?"
11093Kilrain, are you going?"
11093Kiss you?"
11093Know him?"
11093Know the short cut?"
11093Lawlor-- isn''t that his name?"
11093Logan overlooked this rejoinder, saying:"Is it his scalp you''re after?"
11093Me?
11093Mind telling me who your mother was?''
11093My God, ai n''t there a man among you to step over here and join the two of us?"
11093My father has killed my father; what is left?"
11093My ribs?"
11093No matter what comes of it, he''s got to be arrested, do n''t he?"
11093No more of this horse- and- gun- and- hell- bent- away stuff?"
11093North or South?
11093Now about this method of mine--""Throwing your cards on the table, eh?
11093Now, boys, are your hosses fresh?"
11093Odd, is n''t it?"
11093One that ai n''t done no real harm?
11093Out she starts with a piece of rippin''ragtime-- you know how loud it plays?
11093Partner, you ai n''t serious, are you?"
11093Peters, I wish you''d been there-- where''s those trousers?
11093Put''em up; hear me?"
11093Rather an odd courtship, Steve?"
11093Ready to start, Bard?"
11093Ride?
11093Say, you could n''t tip me off where I could hit the trail of Bard?"
11093Seemed to me that that was Sandy Ferguson that you hot- footed out of that door-- or has Sandy got a double?"
11093Seems too bad, in a way, for a brute like that to put it over on ten thousand people without getting a run for his money-- a sporting chance, eh?"
11093Shall I take your coat?"
11093She died for me?"
11093She repeated:"Are you a rotter?"
11093She resumed, when the dough had been rescued by somewhat questionable means:"D''you think a girl can dress in the dark?"
11093She said:"D''you mean this, Anthony?"
11093She went on:"The next thing is Drew?"
11093Smooth, ai n''t it?
11093So the silence held for a brooding moment, until Bard asked:"D''you know the way to the ranch of William Drew?"
11093So what was the use?
11093Starved?"
11093Suppose I keep your name under my hat and you give me a few little inside tips now and then on polo news, and that sort of thing?"
11093Suppose his hoss is stole while he''s hundred miles from nowhere?
11093Suppose you and I dance till I get a chance to eat?''
11093Sure he did n''t hear you when you hollered out the window?
11093Surely he had not created it?
11093Tell me what Bard has on him?"
11093Tell me; do you forgive John Bard?"
11093Tenderfoot?
11093That''s even queerer than your fancy, is n''t it?"
11093The blood of John Bard?"
11093The gun- fighter?
11093The two- gun man?"
11093Then all I have to do is to travel to the foot of the Little Brothers?"
11093Then it works on the principle of poison fight poison, eh?''
11093Then it''s all up?"
11093Then she coloured, even before Sue could say spitefully:"Did n''t he even have to tell you his name before he kissed you?"
11093Then what?
11093These rough- handed fellows come in and throw an arm around you and ask you to marry them; is n''t that it?
11093This Bard-- maybe he tried his hand with you?"
11093This tenderfoot with the hard hand, he strikes and I sort of conduct the shock away from anything that''ll burn, eh?"
11093This with more bated breath than if the question had been:"He did n''t kill a man?"
11093This, then, was a type of the dare- devil horse breaker of the Wild West?
11093Tired?
11093To- day?
11093Understand?
11093Understand?"
11093Understand?"
11093Waiting in the library?"
11093Want to know my little stunt?"
11093Was not that his job, to go out and bring the man to Drew''s place?
11093Well, I could n''t let Ferguson stand in a barroom where a gentleman had been, could I?"
11093West it must be, but where?
11093What about it, boys?
11093What d''you choose, partner?"
11093What d''you think this feller comes back with?"
11093What d''you want to do, Anthony, make yourself famous?
11093What d''you want to know?"
11093What danger?
11093What did Drew say?
11093What do you want to boot?''
11093What does it mean?
11093What does this mean, Nash?"
11093What happened?"
11093What is it now?"
11093What is the matter?"
11093What makes you ask?''
11093What of hoss- liftin'', sir?"
11093What of that?"
11093What sort of a fellow is he?"
11093What sort of a lookin''feller is this Bard?"
11093What the devil do you mean by it?"
11093What the devil''s happened to Eldara?"
11093What was it you done with your own hands to Louis Borgen, the hoss- rustler, back ten years ago?"
11093What we got to fear from''em?"
11093What woman can altogether resist sympathy, even from a fat man and a cook?
11093What would you have done in his place?"
11093What you got, Bard, a royal flush?"
11093What you mean by takin''the law into your own hands?"
11093What''ll you do with that time?"
11093What''ll you have, mate?"
11093What''s his name?"
11093What''s his name?"
11093What''s turned Eldara into a cemetery?"
11093What''s your business?
11093What''s your game?"
11093When I get back to the old place--""Well?"
11093When you coming back this way, Bard?"
11093Where did they go for Bard?"
11093Where did you meet him?"
11093Where''ll you head for?"
11093Where''s father?"
11093Where''s he gone?
11093Where''s the hoss he started out to rustle?"
11093Where''s your hoss?"
11093Which one will she pick?
11093Who are ye?"
11093Who gave the tip?"
11093Who''ll you take with you?"
11093Who''s he gone to shoot in the back?
11093Who''s he?"
11093Whoever heard of breakin''a man''s back?
11093Whom I love?"
11093Whose?"
11093Why did n''t you tip me off?
11093Why do you follow, Sally?"
11093Why do you never tell me of her?"
11093Why, you poor, one- horned yearling, d''you think there''s anybody in Eldara man enough to get fresh with me?"
11093Why?"
11093Wilkes?"
11093Wilkes?"
11093Wilkes?"
11093Will I pass father this way?"
11093Will you eat now or wait for the reg''lar spread?"
11093Will you sit down, sir, and let me tell you how I came to press home the question?"
11093Wo n''t we, boy?"
11093Woodbury?
11093Would you?"
11093You ai n''t by any chance related to a John Bard?"
11093You ai n''t him, are you?"
11093You know?"
11093You rent that?"
11093You see that rough place on the side of that tree-- jest a shadow like the whiskers of a man that ai n''t shaved for a week?
11093You see that?"
11093You think I''m double- crossin''?"
11093You''ll run the limit on this?"
11093You''ll stand firm with Drew?"
11093hollers Butch;''are you leavin''me for this wall- eyed galoot?''
11093how did you get such eyes?"
30224And did you think going away to school would make her different?
30224And the board- money?
30224And-- and--_tia_ fixed it-- so-- you decided to leave me here?
30224But what? 30224 Did n''t you hear them calling''infanta''after me just now?"
30224Do n''t they like you?
30224Do you know,said the doctor, handling Tesuque,"that this thing is surprisingly well- modeled?
30224Does he say I''m not to see it?
30224Does n''t know what?
30224Has he-- written?
30224Have n''t I said so? 30224 I may not stay here with you?"
30224Infanta-- is it anything_ bad_?
30224Is he_ gone_--my father? 30224 Is there anything any one can do?"
30224Is there talk of that?
30224It is my father''s letter-- and you keep it from me? 30224 Lola,"she asked, perturbed,"you do n''t_ pray_ to Tersookey, do you?"
30224Me? 30224 Not go back?
30224She will not say your house now is''ugly,''will she? 30224 Told me?
30224What am I blaming her for? 30224 What are you saying to make my little girl so wide- eyed?
30224What does he say? 30224 What have you been doing up the cañon?
30224What have you done? 30224 What is the use of wasting breath?
30224What should it do to her,''Andro? 30224 What will my Pablo say to this?
30224What would you do,she went on lightly,"if you had planned something worth while, and it became impossible?"
30224What you making down yonder, honey?
30224What''s all this?
30224What, have you been sending her to pay- school?
30224When great things become impossible, what would you do?
30224Where could she have dropped from? 30224 Where has the money come from?
30224Who said she was ashamed?
30224Why, about my idea of getting you that situation up in Cripple? 30224 Will you go over there, Miss Combs?"
30224Would three hundred dollars help you out?
30224You are Mexican like us, no? 30224 You do little things?"
30224You think-- she will not want-- to live with me?
30224You wo n''t mind living here alone and poor?
30224You would do that?
30224You''d take that delicate girl up there to wait on a lot of rough miners? 30224 _ Que hay?_"she asked, coming toward them apprehensively.
30224_ Tia, tia_, do you hear? 30224 _ Tia_,"she pursued,"he is well off-- my father?"
30224_ Tonto!_ Do you think I want her to see me?
30224And although I would rather have gone to school than have the piano, am I to blame_ tia_ for not knowing this?
30224And bonnets-- how many bonnets can you manage, Lola?
30224And for what good, señora?"
30224And now that you have let me find out what I owe her, do you think I sha''n''t remember it always with every beat of my heart?
30224And so holding it, she cried,"_ Tia_, you want me to stay, do n''t you?
30224And they call thee Lola, surely, as the custom is?
30224And you, señora, shall you get a longer dress and do your hair up, so she will not say of you like she did,''How queer''?"
30224Ay, but who can say he shall remember?
30224Building Spanish castles?"
30224But she will not speak to you, eh?
30224Could it be that her father had come at last?
30224Could this unlooked- for, bewildering satisfaction be indeed real, and not a visionary thing which would presently fade?
30224Did you hear her cry out just now?--that desperate wail?
30224Do you hear?
30224Even if I had n''t heard how much more she has done for me than I dreamed?
30224Found her up the cañon, eh?
30224From the coal?
30224Had not Jane said this?
30224Had she not covered her face-- could it be_ guiltily_--and gone away?
30224Has thy father lost money?
30224Have you thanked_ her_ yet, Lola?"
30224He was about to ask some explanation, when Lola said slowly,"And you,_ tia_, you have done so much for me that you have nothing left?
30224Her accent was sharp with anxiety as she added,"But of course he sends the-- board- money for me-- he would remember that?"
30224How do you say that in Spanish?
30224How''d that suit you, Lola?
30224I hope you do n''t think I''d do anything mean?
30224If these others"went up,"what did it matter?
30224Is it a noble impulse which will spring to life in rich gratitude when I tell her my story?
30224Is that girl in the big white hat Lola?
30224Is that so?"
30224Is-- has he-- lost his money,_ tia_?
30224Jane''s voice had rather a feigned lightness as she replied,"You have everything you want, do n''t you?"
30224Just now she have condescended to say to me,''''Ow- de- do?''
30224Lola exclaimed,"You were here in town on the Fourth of July?
30224Looks sure''nough bad, do n''t she?"
30224Make her white like Miss Jonas?
30224Maria de los Dolores, is it?
30224Must these sweet hours be broken upon with a tale of impending penury?
30224Now ai nt that true, Miss Combs?"
30224Or will a mere hurt, passionate vanity rise to overwhelm us all in its acrid swell?
30224Shall you go on fretting your poor head with more schooling,_ chiquita_?"
30224She caught her breath and added,"You could n''t think I should be willing to go away and leave her like this?
30224She said simply,"Will that much do?"
30224She told you, did n''t she?"
30224She was aware of making a resolute effort as she said,"Would n''t Lola be happier with the Vigils?"
30224She''s got real Spanish eyes, ai nt she, Miss Combs?
30224Surely she could not mean to be ill- tempered-- Ana, with a face as broad and placid as a standing pool?
30224They been all ranging north, thinking she''d taken after her pa. Maybe she thought he''d headed for La Veta pass?
30224Told me what?"
30224What could be easier than to take the money of thy father?
30224When I persuaded Miss Jane to take you, I could n''t foresee what hard luck I was going to strike, could I?"
30224Who am I to judge?
30224Who could have come?
30224Whose voice was that which issued from the house in an unbroken monologue, genial, laughing, breathless?
30224Why did n''t I see you?
30224Why not you?
30224Why should he put himself at the behest of this_ vagabundo_ who impeached his English?
30224Why, she looks kind of stunned, do n''t she, Miss Combs?"
30224Why, what have you struck?
30224Will you ask him?"
30224Your mother was Mexican?
30224_ Sabe?_ And eat more.
30224_ Sabe_''pavilion''?
30224_ Tener buen diente_, eh?
29406A love song?
29406Afraid?
29406And leave Father John?
29406And no girl was with him?
29406And was there with him a girl named Nada Hawkins?
29406And where is this country, Yellow Bird?
29406And wherever you go, I go-- forever and always?
29406And you are willing to go with me-- anywhere?
29406And you will never run away from me again?
29406And-- from the burnt country?
29406Been long in this country?
29406By the way, what did you say your name was?
29406Ca n''t get away, can you?
29406Can you make it?
29406Did he speak of others?
29406Did you ever hear of the Country Beyond?
29406Do n''t you understand, Nada?
29406Does the wager still hold, Cassidy?
29406Down south?
29406Father, you will come to us?
29406Glad that I am-- your wife?
29406Got you both now, have n''t I?
29406Have n''t any idea where one might come upon this Jolly Roger, have you?
29406He''ll live?
29406He-- pulled your hair, you say?
29406Heard what?
29406Hittin''north are you, Jolly Roger?
29406How do you like married life, Mrs. Jolly Roger?
29406How far before I come to the end of fire?
29406If anything should happen-- now--"Yes, if the thing you fear should happen, what then?
29406Is it--_you_?
29406It is like Blind Man''s Buff, is n''t it? 29406 It''s funny he do n''t want anybody to know he''s there, ai n''t it-- I mean-- isn''t it, Peter?"
29406Just get in?
29406May we?
29406Me? 29406 Mooney''s shack-- where?"
29406Nada, what''s happened?
29406Nee- kewa,_ did you hear_?
29406Never?
29406Not so bad, is it?
29406Oh, Roger, why did n''t we bring Peter?
29406Oh, my boy, my dear boy, what are five years to pay for such a treasure as that which has come into your possession tonight? 29406 Or an uninhabited island?"
29406Peter, Peter, where have you been?
29406Peter,she whispered,"will you do it?"
29406Please tell me, Mister Jolly Roger-- is he hurt-- bad?
29406Remember the little jackpine clump down there? 29406 Right?
29406Right?
29406Roger, what do you mean?
29406Tell me-- where is she?
29406That''s what Yellow Bird told us, was n''t it? 29406 Tired,_ Pied- Bot_?"
29406To the end of the earth?
29406Want to know why?
29406We ai n''t afraid, are we, baby? 29406 We could have a big house here if we wanted to dig out rooms-- eh, Peter?
29406What do you think my cabin is, Breault-- a Rest for Homeless Outlaws?
29406What happened in the creek, Nada?
29406What is his name?
29406What is it, Miss Tavish?
29406What is it, Peter?
29406What is it,_ Pied- Bot_?
29406What sort of looking girl was Nada Hawkins?
29406What was it, Peter? 29406 What, then, Roger?
29406Where are you goin'', Mister Roger?
29406Where are you going?
29406Where is McKay, Father?
29406Where is Nada?
29406Where were they?
29406Where? 29406 Who-- Cassidy, or Jolly Roger?"
29406Why down south-- if you care for her-- and you up here?
29406Would you like to go there, Nada?
29406Would you mind stepping out, McKay?
29406Yes, my_ Newa_--"What does that mean, Roger?
29406You ai n''t seein''me hit her any more, are you, Nady?
29406You are-- awake?
29406You heard him go?
29406You heard that, Neekewa? 29406 You love me-- very much?"
29406You mean-- up there?
29406You promise that?
29406You say it is n''t a wolverine, Peter? 29406 You think what?"
29406''What are five years-- or ten-- or twenty,_ if I know I am to have him after that_?''
29406''What are five years?''
29406A shabby trick, do n''t you think?
29406And I''m wondering, Peter-- I''m wondering-- why did God forget to give a dog speech?"
29406And Sun Cloud?"
29406And does it make you happy, and fearless now?"
29406And is there any reward tacked to it?
29406And now-- if I free your hands-- will you swear to give me a two hours''start before you leave this cabin?"
29406And so-- was it not conceivable that the other would also come true?
29406And some day, Father John will bring him?"
29406And then the Missioner said:"You have heard?
29406And then,"Is it true-- what Father John has told me?"
29406Anything in it for me?"
29406As he did this he was thinking to himself,"Why am I doing this?
29406Breault heard the sigh, and grunted a reply,"Hungry again, Peter?"
29406But if it happens she likes Africa better, or Australia, or the South Sea-- Now, what the devil was that?"
29406But was he bad?
29406But what do we care for color as long as we have_ her_ with us?
29406Can the wind shoot a gun-- like_ that_?"
29406Can you see?"
29406Could it be Nada?
29406Did n''t it?
29406Did you ever hear of Father John, the Missioner at Cragg''s Ridge?"
29406Do you mean you are going to keep my wife ironed like this?"
29406Do you see the wonder of it, son?
29406Eh,_ Pied- Bot_?"
29406Ever hear of him?"
29406Five years, and after that-- peace, love, happiness for all time?
29406Funny name for a dog, is n''t it?"
29406Had her mind actually communed with the mind of Nada?
29406Had she, through the sheer force of her illimitable faith, projected her subconscious self into the future that she might show him the way?
29406Have the spirits changed their message, because the night is heavy?"
29406Have you ever dreamed of leaving it, Roger-- of going down into that world of towns and cities of which Father John has told me so much?"
29406Have you told Mrs. Jolly Roger about that?"
29406If Jed Hawkins ever hits you again, or pulls your hair, or even threatens to do it-- will you tell me?"
29406If the law compels you to pay a price for the errors it believes you have committed, will that price be so terribly severe?"
29406If you do n''t get me next time-- if you fail, and I turn the trick on you once more-- will you quit?"
29406If you happen to see him at any time give him that information, will you?"
29406Is it too great a price to pay?
29406Is it, Roger?"
29406Is that it, Breault?
29406Is that what you''re trying to tell me?"
29406Is that you, Cassidy?"
29406Is that you, McKay?"
29406Made a hell of a mess of it, have n''t I?"
29406Mebby it''s a place to sleep in for the night you want, stranger?"
29406Remember how you growled at me, Peter?"
29406See that tree over there, with a vine as big as my wrist winding around it, like a snake?
29406Shall we go back to Yellow Bird, Peter?
29406Shall we take a chance, and go back to Cragg''s Ridge in the spring?"
29406Silly bunch, are n''t they?
29406Someone has told you?"
29406Suddenly he asked,"How old is she, Liz?"
29406Tell Cassidy that, will you?"
29406That''s what you been preachin''me these last ten years''bout whiskey- runnin,''but it ai n''t made me stop sellin''whiskey, has it?
29406Then,"Were you thinking only of the brush, Roger-- and of the hurt it might cause me?"
29406They would never think of looking for us in the heart of a big snow- dune out in this God- forsaken barren, would they?"
29406Think you can understand that?"
29406Understand,_ Pied- Bot_?"
29406Understand?
29406Was it possible she had followed him after his flight, determined to find him, and share his fate?
29406Was it possible she had told him the truth?
29406Was it possible that Nada and the Missioner had not escaped its fury?
29406Was that not a sound out on the water?"
29406We ca n''t lose that redheaded fox, can we?"
29406What are five years, when all life reaches out a paradise before us?
29406What do you think,_ Pied- Bot_?
29406When?"
29406Who else, of all the women in the world, could be following his trail across the Barrens-- a thousand miles from civilization?
29406Why did they send Cassidy-- the fairest and squarest man that ever wore red?
29406Will you keep him here?
29406With her eyes looking down at the greening earth under their feet, Nada said, very softly,"Mister-- Jolly Roger-- are you glad?"
29406Wo n''t you have breakfast with me?
29406Would n''t you say something happened?"
29406You are not afraid?"
29406You know him?"
29406You understand?
29406You wo n''t say anything to her?"
21903A great man?
21903Afraid? 21903 And how can I be sure that you will not find me wanting?"
21903And if you found all that would n''t you marry it?
21903And what is to become of the poor men when you are through with them?
21903And where are we to go this summer?
21903And you are not afraid of him? 21903 And you did not tell her?
21903And you sit here often? 21903 And you?"
21903Are there no girls here?
21903Are there such beautiful ones in Europe?
21903Are you always as conscientious as that? 21903 Are you coming,''Léna, or not?
21903Are you mad about fire? 21903 Are you so much better and purer than I?
21903As much as you are with''Léna?
21903Aunt,said Magdaléna, with her hand on the door of the sick room,"will-- will-- you kiss uncle?"
21903But do you_ really_ like to see us here? 21903 But have you no principles of right and wrong?
21903But it was dreadful, was n''t it? 21903 But surely you find Ila very fascinating?"
21903But why?
21903Can all the others know too?
21903Can not you introduce me?
21903Can we have our ride to- morrow?
21903Can you really afford this, Helena?
21903Could I not travel with her after? 21903 Could not mamma go with me?"
21903Could you take a little longer step?
21903Dick,she said sternly,"how did you get those tarantulas up?
21903Did you hold her hand?
21903Did you kiss Helena?
21903Did you sleep well?
21903Did you tell her that you loved her?
21903Did you?
21903Do n''t you love him?
21903Do they not dance beautifully?
21903Do you believe that love is everything in life?
21903Do you feel quite well yourself?
21903Do you like my frock?
21903Do you mean that you still wish to marry me?
21903Do you mean that? 21903 Do you mean to say that you had-- had intended to-- to-- add him to the quartette?"
21903Do you remember the last time we went to the hills?
21903Do you think he''s gone mad at last?
21903Do you think so?
21903Do you think you will be able to go soon?
21903Do you want me to buy this place?
21903Do-- do I need to tell you?
21903Do? 21903 Does California seem a little unreal to you?"
21903Does it?
21903Has anyone ever been amused here?
21903Have they come?
21903Have you come back to California again because you think it a good place to die in?
21903Have you met many literary people?
21903He no want marry you?
21903How can that be? 21903 How do you realise that, at your age?
21903How old is Polk?
21903How? 21903 Hurt?"
21903I wonder if he remembers that it is time to go to the country?
21903I wonder if you will ever mature,--get any heart?
21903I wonder what they are like? 21903 I''ll run you in for wearing boys''clothes; have you ever heard the penalty for that, miss?
21903If you had never met me, would you not be engaged to Helena by this time?
21903If you know that, how can you help it now?
21903If you lost Helena, could you feel like that?
21903Is anything the matter?
21903Is he dead?
21903Is it? 21903 Is n''t this gorgeous?"
21903Is papa angry?
21903Is that what you told''Léna?
21903Is that you, Helena?
21903May I ask him?
21903May I have the pleasure of the first waltz, Miss Yorba?
21903May I?
21903Mind? 21903 Miss Yorba, are you cultivating a reputation for eccentricity?"
21903Mrs. Polk is here?
21903Oh,''Léna, what shall we do?
21903Really? 21903 Shall we begin?"
21903Shall we read together?
21903Shall you be in California long?
21903Shall you call, Hannah?
21903Shall you marry a president?
21903She is expected, then? 21903 She''s-- you''ll never breathe it?"
21903Should n''t you like to marry me?
21903Should you like to smoke?
21903Someone walking over your grave?
21903Suppose you still love me?
21903Tell me,''Léna, am I improved? 21903 That means that there is none in women?
21903Then if you lost Helena, should you feel as-- as-- you did when you came here first? 21903 Then shall you come back and marry''Léna?"
21903Then when Helena goes, can I go to Santa Barbara for awhile and visit aunt?
21903Types?
21903Was it your fault or mine?
21903Was-- was-- my father rude?
21903We will have a great many other lessons, no?
21903Well, now you know it, you''ll come oftener, wo n''t you? 21903 Well?"
21903Well?
21903Well?
21903What am I to do?
21903What are you going to do?
21903What are you thinking about?
21903What do you mean, Helena? 21903 What have you got here?
21903What is it to be? 21903 What is it?"
21903What is the matter with those people?
21903What is the matter? 21903 What is the matter?
21903What other things are you going to be, Helena?
21903What the matter?
21903What''s chippies?
21903What''s that?
21903What, Helena?
21903What?
21903What?
21903What_ do_ you want?
21903Whattee difflence? 21903 When did you get back?"
21903When he coming back?
21903Where is Don Roberto?
21903Which of your heroines is buried in the cemetery?
21903Who can tell what futures may lie in a slipper?
21903Who has been teaching you coquetry? 21903 Who is Helena?"
21903Who is that man?
21903Why do they wear so many frizzes, and sailor hats on one side?
21903Why do you not keep things clean?
21903Why do you pretend?
21903Why does no one write about it? 21903 Why not go to Southern California?"
21903Will you give me your word of honour that you do not wish you were free, that you would not gladly marry her now?
21903Will you let us go to Santa Barbara to visit aunt?
21903Will you open it with me?
21903Will you sit out a dance with me-- or rather walk it out in the garden? 21903 With me?
21903Would n''t I? 21903 Would you like a light?"
21903Would you like me to pick some of ours for you?
21903You did what?
21903You do n''t mean to say you would take any girl''s lover away from her, Helena?
21903You do n''t really mean what you say when you talk that way, do you, Helena?
21903You expect to begin sometime, do you not? 21903 You have not grown cynical, Helena?"
21903You no write the books?
21903You see those little round holes covered with white film?
21903You will living with me, no? 21903 You''re never going to own up?"
21903You? 21903 _ What_ have I made you go through?
21903A controvertible hereafter?
21903A girl in boys''clothes?"
21903A quarter of a century or more of meaningless earthly existence?
21903A sudden, sickening fear assailed him: Was Magdaléna deteriorating?
21903After all, might she not have temptations which would pass his beautiful, quick- witted, triumphant daughter by?
21903Am I a great beauty?"
21903Am I beautiful?
21903Am I happy?
21903Am I to be introduced out here, or in the drawing- room after they have come downstairs?"
21903And Trennahan?
21903And he the cause?
21903And if she succeeded, what would have mattered these long years of dull loneliness, of denial of all that is dear to the heart of a girl?
21903And now?
21903And the uncle?
21903And what had Henry James to do with it?
21903And who is your companion?"
21903And will you forgive me?"
21903And yours?"
21903Are you not coming?"
21903Are you not well?"
21903Are you?
21903Ay de mi!_ Why I no dying with the wife and the little boy?
21903But I''ve been pretty good to you, have n''t I?
21903But Magdaléna?
21903But it has remained in his family until to- day-- and now it goes where?"
21903But you no suffer, no?"
21903But you will forgive me, wo n''t you?"
21903Ca n''t you come to Monterey for a week or two?
21903Ca n''t you go away without saying anything to her about it?
21903Ca n''t you see for yourself?
21903Could it be a runaway horse?
21903Could n''t we have a walk or ride somewhere to- morrow early-- out to the Presidio?
21903Could she do nothing well?
21903Did I not find enjoyment once in the very imaginings of all that has scourged me since?
21903Did it not have that iron of New England in it for which he would have sold his birthright?
21903Did you ever see a fencing match?
21903Did you like them very much?"
21903Do n''t I love you and my father; and the other girls-- some?"
21903Do n''t you know, my dear child, that you love your friend in spite of her tomboy eccentricities, not because of them?
21903Do n''t you think it will be a change?
21903Do n''t you think so?
21903Do n''t you think that if we told her she would release you?"
21903Do n''t you think that would be best?"
21903Do n''t you want to travel?"
21903Do n''t, d- don''t--""Yes?"
21903Do you follow me?"
21903Do you girls intend to study any more to- day, or not?
21903Do you like California better than New York?"
21903Do you love me?"
21903Do you not think I was right in that?"
21903Do you think I might join you to- morrow?
21903Do you think no further of writing?"
21903Do you think you can slide down the pillar?"
21903Do you think you could stand camping out?"
21903Do you think you should like it?"
21903Do you want anything in the world as much as Helena?"
21903Do you wonder that men watered the roots of their nerves with alcohol?
21903Does that satisfy you?
21903Fair Oaks?"
21903Finally he said,--"He no come back, then?"
21903From you?
21903Had her father gone suddenly mad?
21903Had she talked as well as that?
21903Had that presentiment meant anything since compassed?
21903Has she ceased to love me?
21903Have you a whiskey flask about you?"
21903Have you been enjoying yourself?"
21903Have you found your graves?"
21903Have you got much money with you?"
21903Have you heard from my baby lately?
21903He was the author of all her misery; and was any woman on earth so miserable as she?
21903He would not whip her, of course; but what would he do?
21903Heart?
21903Her father''s cruel treatment?
21903Her illness?
21903Her terrible experience in the street of painted women?
21903How are you going in?"
21903How could they take your lands?
21903How did you feel the first moment you met him?
21903How many people are there in San Francisco, anyhow?"
21903How much is it?"
21903Howard?"
21903I hate the morning after a ball, do n''t you?
21903I heard you were engaged-- to an Englishman, or something?"
21903I wonder will the wind blow me in there some night?
21903If some of my English friends should come out here five years hence, should I patronise them?
21903If you had not been in love with''Léna, should you be in love with me by this time?"
21903Is it a bargain?"
21903Is it catching, I wonder?
21903Is it true that a man stepped over the Bridal Veil backward?
21903Is not this true?"
21903Is there anything that you would care to read?
21903Is-- is--"she glanced about fearfully--"is there no hope of dear Don Roberto relenting?"
21903It might take a lifetime, but what of that if she succeeded in the end?
21903It was true that Trennahan had not gone mad over herself as other men over Helena; but what of that?
21903Magdaléna''s heart shook her very throat, but she managed to answer,"And then you would n''t buy the Mark Smith place?"
21903Marry you when you said that you wanted nothing so much in the world as to marry Helena Belmont?
21903Meanwhile, can I do anything for you in town?
21903My dear child, what are you talking about?
21903No morality?
21903No?"
21903Of course I need not tell him what I had done; but should I give it up?
21903Of course it interests you?"
21903Oh, how shall I begin?
21903Or is it your vanity that is insatiable?"
21903Or was that intelligence but the half of another, divided out there in eternity before being sucked earthwards?
21903Shall I tell you about it?"
21903Shall we get out?"
21903Shall we go for our walk?
21903Shall we go outside?
21903Shall we sit down a moment?"
21903Shall we walk on?"
21903Shall you go back to Santa Barbara?
21903Shall you stay?"
21903Shall you tire of me?"
21903Shall-- shall-- you ever marry, Helena?"
21903She asked instead,"I wonder would your conscience hurt you so hard if everything had turned out all right, and we were coming home in our own hack?"
21903She gave a peremptory glance to Rose, who responded hurriedly,"Are you fond of music, Don Roberto?
21903She gazed at him in speechless terror for a half- moment, then gasped,"W- h- a- t do you want?"
21903She make a fool de my name like the play- actor that do the monkey tricks on the stage?
21903She said,--"What is this''flirtation,''anyhow?
21903She wondered did she kill him should she be hanged?
21903She would rather it were Helena than another; for who else could make him so happy?
21903She, Magdaléna Yorba, the dull, the silent, the terrified?
21903Should I tell him?
21903Should she go down and thrust the dagger into his neck?
21903Should you mind if we came sometimes in the evening?
21903Should-- should you object?"
21903Stories were to be picked up anywhere: had she not found a number ready to her hand?
21903That she is whittling thorns for her own soul?
21903The Spanish are the most dignified-- What are they going to do, I wonder?"
21903The loss of her religion?
21903Then she asked abruptly,--"What do you mean by women having temptations?
21903Then she asked,--"What did Helena say when you told her your name?"
21903Trennahan?"
21903Trennahan?"
21903Was n''t Ila''s gown disgracefully low?
21903Was somebody ill?
21903Washington?"
21903Were any within so desperate as she?
21903What circumstances had imprinted that face so differently from the few faces familiar to her?
21903What could a man do in the face of so much beauty and so much affection, but to vow to hold up the wall for the rest of the evening?
21903What did it matter?
21903What did it mean, here again?
21903What did it mean?
21903What did this man do when he was not at home?
21903What difference now or bimeby?"
21903What do you do?"
21903What if it does?
21903What if they would not give her a chance to speak, but should lock her up at once?
21903What in Heaven''s name ails your father?
21903What is it?
21903What kind de house is this?
21903What made you keep it up for three hours?"
21903What next?
21903What secrets did it hold?
21903What shall I say to her?
21903What skeletons?
21903What was it?"
21903What was the matter with her?
21903What were men and women made for but to amuse each other?"
21903What were you writing,--your Old- California tales?"
21903What would that terrible little man do?
21903What would they think of her?
21903What''s the matter?"
21903What''s the reason they''ve come to Menlo Park?
21903When am I to see your Helena?"
21903When did you find yourself going?
21903When these came down, two hours later, Trennahan said to Don Roberto,--"May I ride with Miss Yorba to- morrow before breakfast?"
21903Where is your father?
21903Where''s your maid?"
21903Who are you?
21903Who has fallen in love with you since I left?"
21903Who is he?
21903Who were his friends besides her morose father, her cold dry uncle?
21903Who would ever have thought that he could care for anyone like that?
21903Why are they for ever knocking at the hard earth over their heads?
21903Why ca n''t they let us alone?"
21903Why could not her father have married another woman of his race?
21903Why did they not come out and shriek with the storm?
21903Why do n''t they sprout?
21903Why do you ask such foolish questions?"
21903Why had her brother left her nothing?
21903Why had she been defrauded of her birthright?
21903Why had she not known of it in the days when she had longed to shine?
21903Why has the United States ceased to make history?
21903Why have I not seen this peerless creature?"
21903Why not take advantage of that fact?
21903Why not?
21903Why now?"
21903Why should I not go back and live with him, and disappear from a world which takes no interest in me, and in which I am no earthly use?
21903Why should he not help her?
21903Why should he, with one of the prettiest girls in California beside him?
21903Why should n''t they?"
21903Why, she wondered bitterly, could she not have been given less brains, or more?
21903Wild imaginings for a plain tongue- tied little hybrid, but what man''s inner life is like unto the husk to whose making he gave no hand?
21903Will you agree to that?"
21903Will you believe that?
21903Will you come out and have a cigar?
21903Will you come?"
21903Will you forgive me this display of it?
21903Will you let me decide for both?
21903Will you let me read his letters?"
21903Will you marry me?"
21903Will you remember that?"
21903Wo n''t you come and sit down?"
21903Would I have thanked anyone for opening my eyes?
21903Would a man with an exhaustive experience of beautiful women be attracted into marriage by this ugly duckling?
21903Would her mother never come?
21903Would it bring men to her feet?
21903Would it work the spell?
21903Would these new beauties compare with that galaxy of long ago?
21903You are not afraid of snakes?"
21903You are not really thinking of writing a book, are you, Rose, dear?"
21903You could n''t come for a drive with us, could you?
21903You did not speak of me?"
21903You told me-- you do n''t mind my speaking of it?"
21903You will forgive me, wo n''t you?
21903You will not make those four young men any more miserable than they are now?"
21903You would not deliberately sacrifice others to your own pleasure, would you?"
21903You''ll have nothing but pleasant things to remember?"
21903_ Should_ I?
21903_ What_ lay behind?
21903cried the astute Helena,"you''ve been thinking the matter over, too, have you?
21903growled Don Roberto,"what you want?"
21903he asked;"not like me at all a month hence?
21903how he is?"
21903is that all?
21903really?"
21903until you find the moneys?
21903yi!_"Magdaléna was pricked with a new fear: Was her father insane?
31778A perfessor, huh? 31778 Ai n''t that right, Menner?
31778Are you telling me what''s true and what ai n''t,he said softly,"with my gun on you?"
31778Can you do it with other things, young man?
31778Does the gun change anything?
31778Drummer?
31778Excuse me?
31778Faster than anyone could ever draw it?
31778Good shooting, huh?
31778He just_ thinks_ his gun into his hand?
31778He said he''d come, huh?
31778Hell, they really ai n''t worth the trouble, are they?
31778How do you say it?
31778How-- do you know how do I do it?
31778I guess they did n''t want to really feel the heat, huh?
31778I-- I--"You thrun me outa here a couple times, remember?
31778Know how I do it?
31778Look, professor-- this telekinesis stuff-- is all that on the level?
31778Look,he said slowly,"maybe you can tell me how in hell...."When he did n''t go on, the professor said,"Yes?"
31778No, you goddam fool-- I mean, what''re you selling? 31778 Nothing to say, Doolin?"
31778Pretty fast, huh?
31778Put yourself in my place, and ask yourself why in hell I should kill myself?
31778See what I mean huh?
31778T- e- l- e- k- i- n- e- s- i- s."Well, how do I_ do_ it?
31778Telewhat?
31778What is it you want to know?
31778What other things?
31778What''s that?
31778Where is everybody?
31778Who you trying to scare, Buck?
31778Who''re you, mister?
31778Why,he said,"does n''t a group of you get together and face him down?
31778Why?
31778Will you now,he said nastily,"you son of a bitch?"
31778Will you now?
31778Wonder where that goddam yellow- bellied sheriff is?
31778Would you do it now, please?
31778Yeah, it kind of does, do n''t it?
31778Yeah?
31778You do n''t want no money for this likker, do you, Menner?
31778You draw first, huh?
31778You figure I''m a dead man, Joe, huh?
31778You got any idea what he meant about thinking his gun into his hand?
31778You sure, Joe?
31778You sure, Joe?
31778You tell him?
31778You took his gun away from him a couple times, did n''t you, Ben?
31778You wanta argue?
31778You were going to say--?
31778You''d just take it home and spend it on that fat heifer of a wife you got, and on them two little halfwit brats, would n''t you?
31778You_ think_ it into your hand?
31778A performer upon the drums?"
31778Ai n''t that right?"
31778Ai n''t that so?"
31778But what about meantime?...
31778Do n''t you see?"
31778Do you mean, am I a musician?
31778Hell, what could_ you_ give me, you goddam little dude?"
31778Hell, why not?"
31778How d''you like that?"
31778How in hell could Buck Tarrant turn into a fire- eating gunslinger in a few days?"
31778Is there anyone else who could handle him?
31778Likker?
31778My God... do you think we could do it?"
31778Of what?"
31778Snake- bite medicine?
31778So you be here, get that?"
31778Soap?"
31778The professor said,"Young man, you would n''t care to come with me to San Francisco, would you?
31778Then he said,"You''re an eddicated man, ai n''t you?
31778Wanta see me do it?"
31778Was n''t you startled?"
31778What do you think of that, huh?"
31778Why, what''d happen to this town if I was to cut and run?
31778You a drummer?"
31778You got that?"
31778You know that?"
31778how many people will he have to kill before somebody gets angry or nervy enough to kill_ him_?
20076''Jumped our mine?'' 20076 ''S that so?"
20076''S that so?
20076''Who jumped me?'' 20076 ''_ Us_?''"
20076,For instance?"
20076A report?
20076About these apexes-- what are they, anyway? 20076 Ai n''t I broke?"
20076Ai n''t you been working ten months to find Mary Fortune? 20076 And by the way, how come you''re hearing so well?"
20076And do you understand,she challenged,"that I can vote against you and throw the control to Stoddard?
20076And if you don''t----"Ah, will you?
20076And the answer?
20076And the old man still thinks you''re rich? 20076 And what do they think?"
20076And you, Miss Fortune?
20076And you?
20076And your right hand?
20076And your wife, Rosita? 20076 Any gold?"
20076Are you afraid to play the game?
20076Are you some wise one that''s on the inside?
20076Are you working for him?
20076At what point do you want me to buy?
20076Aw, what do we care?
20076Booze?
20076But my dear Miss Fortune,began Stoddard, still smiling,"do you realize what you have done?
20076But why not re- locate it?
20076Can you guess what I did?
20076Can you guess,she asked as she sat down beside him,"what it was that he wanted me to do?
20076Can you understand now why I''ve seemed worried, and anxious and why I''ve concealed my affairs? 20076 Could you hear through a wall?"
20076D''ye think so?
20076Did n''t I lend you money, time and again?
20076Did n''t I put a crimp in him? 20076 Did n''t I tell you to keep it?
20076Did n''t I turn you loose? 20076 Did n''t I warn him to keep away?
20076Did you get that, Miss Fortune?
20076Did you get that, Miss Fortune?
20076Do n''t I get a kiss?
20076Do n''t you think so now, yourself?
20076Do you mean it?
20076Do you mind my cigar?
20076Does Stoddard know that?
20076Does it help any to get drunk?
20076Does that make you feel better? 20076 Fight who?"
20076For a gift?
20076Good morning,he said, flushing up as she looked at him,"can you spare me a few minutes of your time?"
20076Good morning,returned Jepson, drawing in a deep breath,"is there anything I can do?"
20076Has some one been telling you who I''ve got in with me on this deal? 20076 Has your girl gone back on you, or what?"
20076Have I got to tell Hassayamp to go? 20076 Hello?"
20076How about fifty- fifty-- an undivided half?
20076How are you, Juan?
20076How do_ you_ vote?
20076How long ago was that?
20076How much do you want for your stock?
20076How much more you got?
20076How much of a share do you expect me to give you?
20076How much would it cost?
20076How much?
20076How''d you come to get out here? 20076 How''d you know all this?"
20076How''d you know?
20076How''m I going to protect my claims? 20076 How''m I going to protect myself?"
20076How''m I going to use Tecolote?
20076How''s this?
20076I hope you have n''t made any mistake?
20076I think I know what you mean,she said at last,"but do n''t you think you''ve said enough?
20076If that''s the deal, what''s your cut? 20076 In what way?"
20076Is it a railroad?
20076Is n''t it glorious?
20076Is that from your mine?
20076Is there anything you wish?
20076Knowing what you know now, does it seem so plain criminal-- what I did to that robber, McBain?
20076No, but listen, Mr. Jones-- or may I call you Rimrock? 20076 No?"
20076Not done?
20076Now let''s get down to business,he went on sternly,"what do you want, and where am I at?"
20076Now what''s the matter?
20076Oh, a compromise, eh? 20076 Oh, he is, is he?"
20076Oh, it''s Mister again, is it?
20076Oh, surely they are n''t worth so much as that?
20076Oh, thank you,she replied, glancing hurriedly at the certificate,"wo n''t you sit down while I write out a receipt?"
20076Oh, that four hundred dollars? 20076 Oh, that''s what''s the matter with you-- you''re thinking about the money, eh?
20076Oh, they ca n''t, hey?
20076Oh, wo n''t you sit down a moment?
20076Oh, would you, Rimrock?
20076Oh, yes,answered Jepson,"and by the way, where is she?"
20076Oh, you do n''t like my style, eh?
20076Oh, you have been in Mexico? 20076 Oh, you stand to lose everything, do you?
20076Oh, you want some money, hey?
20076Oh, you''re lucky, are you?
20076Oh, you''re one of these cynics, these worldly- wise fellows that have lost all their faith in mankind? 20076 Oh,"said Rimrock thoughtfully, rubbing his chin,"well, say, when do you want to go?
20076Oh,_ two_ thousand shares?
20076Oh--_Rimrock_ Jones?
20076Say, Hassayamp,he said,"did you ever hear about that prospector that found a thousand pounds of gold in one chunk?
20076Say, how much money have we got?
20076Say, it has n''t brought us much, after all, now has it? 20076 Say, was that the reason you were saving your money?"
20076Say, what do you mean?
20076Say, what kind of an agency are you running, anyhow?
20076Say, what''s going on?
20076Say, what''s the matter?
20076Say, who are you, anyway?
20076Say, you''re strictly business, now ai n''t you?
20076Some more?
20076Spend it?
20076That report of the experts? 20076 The question is-- who''s running this mine?"
20076The smelter?
20076Then am I to understand that you do n''t follow Mr. Jones blindly, and that he has no control over your stock?
20076They ca n''t, you say? 20076 Very likely,"returned Mary,"but as a prospective director may I enquire the reason for this outburst?"
20076Very well, Mr. Lockhart,he responded curtly,"what is it you wish to say?"
20076Was he a promoted lawyer, too; or did you learn that line of talk from McBain?
20076Well, I''ll think it over,answered Rimrock noncommittally,"unless you''ve got one of those attachments on you?"
20076Well, even so,went on Mrs. Hardesty placidly,"what reason have you to think she means trouble?
20076Well, how do you see it? 20076 Well, how much do you want, then?"
20076Well, it''s very flattering,she said, dimpling slightly,"but is n''t this rather sudden?"
20076Well, then what did you do?
20076Well, then, what is the reason you always keep away from me and look like you did n''t approve? 20076 Well, what d''ye know about that?"
20076Well, what did he do?
20076Well, what did you think, then?
20076Well, what do we care?
20076Well, what do we care?
20076Well, what do you care?
20076Well, what do you want for it?
20076Well, what of that?
20076Well, what''re you all bowed up about?
20076Well, what''s the matter now?
20076Well, where is it?
20076Well, who''s trying to jump you?
20076Well, why did n''t Jepson do that work? 20076 Well, why not?"
20076Well, you know it now,answered Stoddard freezingly,"does that conclude your remarks?"
20076Well,he said,"what is it, anyway?"
20076What are you looking for?
20076What d''ye mean?
20076What do I give a damn?
20076What do you mean?
20076What ground have you for that valuation of the mine?
20076What kind of a law is that?
20076What proposition?
20076What saloon?
20076What stock?
20076What was it he wanted you to do?
20076What was that you said?
20076What was that?
20076What would you do in a case like that? 20076 What''d you say the name?
20076What''s all this?
20076What''s biting you, anyway? 20076 What''s that got to do with the case?"
20076What''s that you say about the trains still running?
20076What''s that?
20076What''s that?
20076What''s that?
20076What''s that?
20076What''s that?
20076What''s that?
20076What''s that?
20076What''s the idea?
20076What''s the idea?
20076What''s the matter with L. W.? 20076 What''s the matter with you?"
20076What''s the matter? 20076 What''s the matter?"
20076What''s the matter?
20076What''s the matter?
20076What''s the proposition, Rimmy? 20076 What''s these?"
20076What, do you mean to say that when my claim is jumped I ca n''t begin suit to get it back?
20076What, have you taken charge of the legal part of it? 20076 What, me make friends with Stoddard?
20076What, of what I''ve got left? 20076 What, suit to dispossess us?
20076What, the Gunsight mines? 20076 What, to lose all my money?"
20076What-- real gold?
20076What? 20076 What?
20076What? 20076 What?
20076What?
20076Where are you going?
20076Where do I get that check?
20076Where you going?
20076Where''d she go?
20076Where''d you get it?
20076Where''s Ike?
20076Where''s Ike?
20076Where''s McBain? 20076 Where''s that dealer?"
20076Where''s that?
20076Whereabouts?
20076Who are you boys?
20076Who said to pull out?
20076Who? 20076 Why do n''t you bet?"
20076Why do n''t you go and put up that gun? 20076 Why do n''t you quit that dead work and do a little chloriding yourself?
20076Why do n''t you quit, you fool?
20076Why not?
20076Why should n''t I do it? 20076 Why, my dear boy,"exclaimed Buckbee,"you do n''t doubt for a moment that a bank can attach your stock?
20076Why, no,she ran on,"why, I''d----""You''d what?"
20076Why, what do you mean?
20076Why, what is this? 20076 Why, yes, certainly,"conceded Mary,"but with all this behind you what''s the excuse for defying the law?
20076Why, you foolish boy,she cried, straightening up reproachfully,"why did n''t you tell me you were in love?
20076Why-- didn''t you read about Ike Bray?
20076Why? 20076 Why?
20076Will you sell out for that?
20076Will you take that?
20076Will you take_ forty_ for what you hold? 20076 Will you vote for him?"
20076With me?
20076Would you have married me, Rimrock? 20076 Would-- would four hundred dollars help you?"
20076Yes, I understand,said Mary very hastily,"but-- why did n''t you tell Jepson this?
20076Yes, but Andrew McBain----"Was he any smarter than Stoddard? 20076 Yes, but even then; have I given you any reason to think I''m so madly infatuated?
20076Yes, but why Navajoa? 20076 Yes, you doggoned old screw,"he answered ungraciously,"what good will ten dollars do?"
20076You do n''t think so, hey?
20076You don''t-- say, you did n''t think I meant that?
20076You ketchum mine, pletty soon?
20076You no bleakum bank?
20076You no see me the''? 20076 You question his veracity, then?"
20076You think you broke me, do you?
20076You''ll make it right on the books? 20076 You''ll show me_ what_?"
20076You''re bad now, ai n''t you?
20076You''re plumb full of these sayings and parables, ai n''t you?
20076You--_what_?
20076Yourself? 20076 ''How can they jump it when it''s part their own already?'' 20076 Ai n''t I laying the law down right?
20076Ai n''t I staked you?
20076Ai n''t L. W. staked you?"
20076Ai n''t a man got a right, if he''s crowded too far, to stand up and fight for his own?
20076Ai n''t he stood by me like a rock?
20076Ai n''t it simply elegant?
20076Ai n''t my name good for about fifty million?
20076Ai n''t you a friend of Buckbee''s?
20076Ai n''t your claims all legal?
20076All I ask is-- what''s the damage?"
20076All down?"
20076Am I the same feller that blowed into town on the blind baggage, or is this all a part of the dream?"
20076And d''ye think he could get anyone to take''em?
20076And did n''t he curse and squirm and holler, trying to make me give up my control?
20076And did n''t you come out to see our mine?"
20076And have you spent all your life on these plains?
20076And here''s another point-- but what are you laughing at?
20076And may I make a suggestion?
20076And poor?
20076And should he give it to her?
20076And so I''m summoned to appear in court?
20076And speaking about quarrels, do n''t you know that fellow deliberately framed the whole thing?
20076And the judge backed them up in it-- what kind of a law is that?"
20076And then what would I say to Stoddard?"
20076And then, in a louder tone:"Where''d you get this paper?"
20076And then?
20076And to win a woman''s love-- may I tell you something?
20076And when I saw what I could have gained by waiting-- what do you think I did?"
20076And who will represent you in court?"
20076And why had she gone to Gunsight and fetched him back to New York?
20076And will you forgive me, too, for letting you lie here and never doing anything to help?"
20076And would she break down his pretense with that smile?
20076And you like me; now, do n''t you?
20076Are n''t you happy enough without always having things-- can''t you wait for some things in this world?"
20076Are you determined to plead your own case?"
20076Are you going back home?"
20076Are you hurt bad, Ike?"
20076Are you still working for that fellow?"
20076As a business proposition it was a good investment for the Company, but who was it that reaped the big profits?
20076Bray?"
20076But I do love you, Rimrock, in spite of myself, and-- won''t you come in for a moment?"
20076But a woman?
20076But did n''t she say a word about it?
20076But did you see Mr. Jepson when I went into the assay house and began looking at those diamond- drill cores?
20076But here''s the question-- if it came to a show- down, would you be for Stoddard, or me?"
20076But how?
20076But if you had explained the case----""What?
20076But is that any excuse for stopping my dividend and leaving me for Stoddard to clean?"
20076But is that any reason why we should n''t be friends-- or why my stock is n''t perfectly good?"
20076But never mind that-- I suppose you did your best-- now who is to re- locate this claim?"
20076But now, Mr. Jones, since we understand each other, do n''t you think we can afford to be friends?"
20076But put me down''No''--you will, wo n''t you, Miss?
20076But say, is n''t there anything else?"
20076But say, tell me something-- we''re going to be friends, you know-- does Rossiter know where you are now?"
20076But say, what the devil does this ticker mean, quoting Navajoa at six dollars a share?"
20076But say,"he went on, suddenly struck with an idea,"how come you''re telling me all this?
20076But tell me honestly, I feel so trifling to- night, do you believe in the great love for one woman?
20076But was life as simple as he insisted upon making it?
20076But what about the woman''s?
20076But what makes you think I''ll lose?"
20076But when you distrust me and go against me and say that I''ve sold you out, how can a woman do anything but fight you back?
20076But where was my lady friend at?"
20076But who was keeping these women, these wives of officials, and superintendents and mining engineers?
20076But wo n''t you sit down?
20076But would she dare to post that notice, in the face of three desperate men?
20076By the way, when will that cook- house be done?
20076Ca n''t we sit down here somewhere?
20076Ca n''t you see where you are?
20076Ca n''t you take my word for anything?"
20076Can you hold down the job of Secretary?"
20076Can you think that big?
20076Come up to the balcony-- built especially for the ladies-- say, how''s friend Buckbee and the rest?"
20076Could he buy her off-- and for how much?
20076Could n''t you see what she was?
20076Could n''t you tell that type of woman?
20076Could you worship that law?
20076Did I ever ask more than you yourself had promised, or than would be awarded in a court of law?
20076Did I ever default on a debt?
20076Did L. W. go back on me, too?
20076Did it ever occur to you that the trains are still running?
20076Did n''t Hassayamp or anybody just think to go out there and see that the holes were sunk?
20076Did n''t I come to his office when you were right there and tell him to keep off my claims?
20076Did n''t I come to you first, when I discovered the Gunsight, and give you the very best claim?
20076Did n''t I double my money on the deal?"
20076Did n''t you get my letter?
20076Did she mention my name at all?"
20076Did she realize her advantage?
20076Did she see us, do you suppose?
20076Did they glance at the man who had discovered their mine and built up the town where they lived?
20076Did this man in New York, when he bought into your company, agree to vote with you, right or wrong?
20076Did you have any words with her before she went away?
20076Did you know old McBain or----""Say, ca n''t you start that engine?"
20076Did you notice Navajoa?
20076Did you notice the way she passed that dividend, to cut off his supply of slush?
20076Did you notice, when I stopped inviting you here?
20076Do I hear a motion to adjourn?"
20076Do n''t you think I''m entitled to that?
20076Do n''t you think I''m entitled to this?"
20076Do n''t you think I''m on the square?
20076Do you believe in love?"
20076Do you call that lucky?
20076Do you get the idea?
20076Do you get the idea?
20076Do you know what I think?"
20076Do you know, Mr. Jones, that you think more of money than of anything else in the world?
20076Do you mind if I tell you why?
20076Do you realize that already one man has been killed in trying to jump that claim?
20076Do you think I will tell you, after that?
20076Do you think now, for instance, that Whitney H. Stoddard is back of this man, Ike Bray?
20076Does he actually know that this work has been neglected-- and that, if not performed, it will invalidate the claim?"
20076Does he claim the whole works?
20076Ever been in New York?
20076Fight?
20076For nothing?"
20076Had it not been a little cruel, to fly at him, after that?
20076Hardesty?"
20076Has anybody disputed you?
20076Have n''t I got the advantage of control?"
20076Have you any idea where she''s gone?"
20076Have you any suggestions for the future?"
20076Have you even considered that we might fall out-- as we did once before, you remember-- and that then I could use this against you?"
20076Have you really got it, or are you just stalling?
20076Have you stopped to think that I may have ideas that are diametrically opposed to your own?
20076He could see it now; but then, we all can-- the question was, what next?
20076He is a good boy, truly-- will you do one more thing for me, Juan?"
20076He stood up on a soap box and waved those notes in the air, but d''ye think he could get anybody to buy?"
20076He thinks more of a dollar than I do of a million, but could Stoddard buy him out?
20076Holy Smoke, if I''d knowed what a job this was-- here, what are you doing now?
20076How could she endure it, to meet him again?
20076How much are they really worth?"
20076How much do you want-- if we win?"
20076How then could he hasten back to Gunsight and beg for a chance to explain?
20076How''d you like to sell a few shares?"
20076I can hear all right if you only whisper-- would four hundred dollars help you out?"
20076I dropped in at his office, after I''d received my roll, and he said:''Want to take a flier?''
20076I have put up long enough with your high- handed methods; but now, will you kindly look at that?"
20076I hope you are satisfied with my services?"
20076I hope you do n''t think, just because I killed McBain, that I''m suffering any regrets?
20076I might as well spend it, do n''t you think?
20076I thought that was left to McVicker and Ord?"
20076I want you, do n''t you see?
20076I wo n''t believe a word you say----""What will you give me if I do?"
20076I wo n''t say_ what_ deal, but, refreshing your memory now, ai n''t my word as good as yours?"
20076I would n''t take them for a gift if that mountain was pure gold-- how''s he going to haul the ore to the railroad?
20076I''ll crank her up, too-- do you think that would help some?
20076I''m going East myself and there ought to be one of us----""So soon?"
20076If I had married you, do n''t you see how easy it would have been for me to get hold of your stock?
20076If it was n''t for that gun, where''d the Old Juan be to- day?"
20076If you must fight, why not use a real club?"
20076In fact, a loan of half a million dollars on the unendorsed note of one man----""How much do you want?"
20076Is it vice and fraud to hire lawyers and experts and try to win back my own mine?
20076Is my credit good for the drinks?
20076Is n''t his vote as good as your friend, the typist''s?
20076Is she waiting for you now?
20076Is she well also?
20076Is there any other business?"
20076Is there anything special you want?"
20076Is there anything, now, I can do?"
20076It was for a wagon road, perhaps-- but why these surveyors when the whole desert was as flat as a board?
20076Kind of interferes with business, do n''t it?"
20076L. W.?
20076Like the rest of''em, hey?
20076Mary had overheard Jepson in his numerous consultations until she knew every move he would make; the question was, what would she do?
20076May I ask at this time whether it is your present intention to hold your stock, or to sell?"
20076McBain?"
20076Mr. Lockhart?
20076Now come through-- what does Stoddard want?"
20076Now how about it-- ain''t I the legal manager of this Company?"
20076Now how can I fix it for you?"
20076Now look at it fairly, as a business proposition; would it be right to do anything else?
20076Now one thing more-- is there any chance that Mr. Lockhart may still break up all our plans?
20076Now those marble steps-- do you know what Mr. Stoddard said when he came out to inspect the mine?"
20076Now what about this L. W. Lockhart?
20076Now what do you want to know?"
20076Now what was that poor feller to do?"
20076Now where''s your tacks?
20076Now, that''s fair, ai n''t it?"
20076Of course there''s no question of your ability to pay, but would n''t it be more businesslike if you could put up a little collateral?
20076Oh, I know how you feel about it; but did you ever consider that other people like their own way, too?
20076Oh, do n''t you know what that is?
20076Old friend Buckbee, too?
20076Or do you hold with these drawing- room philosophers that man is by nature polygamous?
20076Pretty soon, eh?
20076Say, I ought to know-- didn''t I go in there lone- handed and fight it out with a king of finance?
20076Say, I put up a front-- they all thought I was a millionaire-- have you ever been down to the curb market?
20076Say, I''d give my heart''s blood, just for one more kiss-- do you think I''ll hold out on this gun?
20076Say, how much do you figure I owe you?"
20076Say, how much do you want?
20076Say, where have I been and what have I been up to?
20076Say, where''s your telephone?
20076Say, you think a lot of me, now do n''t you, Little Spitfire?
20076She had loved him when he was poor----"Say,"he said in a far- away voice,"do you remember when I saw you that first time?
20076She held up the attachment to his ear and, as she ran up the dial, she whispered:"Do you think you could hear through a wall?"
20076She''s a cruel thing-- didn''t you see the way she looked at me?
20076Shot L.W.?
20076Still wearing that ear- thing?"
20076Take charge of the mine again?"
20076The first time he had met her, after a scant hour of conversation, he had made that equivocal remark:"How about fifty- fifty-- an undivided half?"
20076The question is-- what''s your price?"
20076Then what are you offering it to me for?
20076There was money to be got, to buy powder and grub, but who would trust Rimrock Jones now?
20076This old friend of mine that helped me and staked me when nobody else would trust me?
20076To Stoddard''s man?
20076Two hundred million dollars?
20076Under what pretext?
20076Up and down, she went-- it was the main lode of quartz and we''d been following in on a stringer-- and_ rich_?
20076W.?"
20076Was every one either good or bad, and everything right or wrong?
20076Was he a savage or a superman?
20076Was it because he was crazy that he had the idea that she was an agent, somehow, of Stoddard?
20076Was it less than human that she should resent it and make an excuse to go?
20076Was n''t he just a plain robber, only without the nerve, hiring gun- fighters to do the rough work?
20076Was n''t my money just as necessary as his?
20076Was n''t my money just as necessary, when I gave it to you, as his was when he gave it, later?"
20076Was she miffed, perhaps, because he had failed to call on her, that time when he came back to town?
20076Was she waiting to speak to you, do you think?"
20076Well now, after being the whole show, do n''t you think it more than likely that Mr. Jepson might overlook the main squeeze-- me?"
20076Well then, why should I?
20076Well, Buckbee, what''s the deal?
20076Well, Miss Fortune, may I see you alone?"
20076Well, then, why should you choose me for the very first person that you ever intentionally wronged?"
20076Well, then, why this sudden resort to evasion and hairsplitting, and all over a mere detail?"
20076Well, what are you kicking about?
20076Well, what do you know about it?
20076Well, what does that bank outfit mean by grabbing all my shares?
20076Well, what''s the matter then?
20076Well, why had they never thought of that in the long, wasted days before?
20076What are you going to say?"
20076What do you carry that thing around for?"
20076What do you mean?
20076What do you say to twenty- four?"
20076What do you think about the proposition I made?"
20076What do you think of a law that will take away a man''s mine because it apexes on another man''s claim?
20076What do you want me to do-- go and kow- tow to Stoddard and ask him to please step on my neck?"
20076What had he done, or neglected to do, that had taken that look from her eyes?
20076What kind of a business man would I be if I left this to McVicker and Ord?
20076What makes you think the child was jealous?
20076What more could I do?
20076What need had she to hear when she could read in his eyes that instant admiration that a woman values most?
20076What reason did she give when she left?"
20076What''ll he say, do you think, when he hears of your latest-- getting in on this Tecolote strike?"
20076What''s a gold mine compared to that?"
20076What''s that to talk about when a man is out after millions?
20076What''s that you say?
20076What''s the matter, ai n''t that ore good for it all?"
20076What''s the matter-- don''t you fully approve?"
20076What''s the matter?"
20076What''s the use of staking you when you''ll turn right around in front of us and throw the money away?
20076What''s the use?
20076When I saw that you''d sold me out to Stoddard and gone and passed that dividend----"He paused--"Say, what''s the matter?"
20076When can you arrange to turn in that stock?"
20076Where did you get this, Miss Fortune?
20076Where is Rico now?
20076Where''s this Abercrombie Jepson?
20076Whitney Stoddard?
20076Who was Mrs. Hardesty?
20076Who was this man that Andrew McBain was afraid of?
20076Who was this woman, he asked himself, and what did she want with that stock?
20076Who would not do as much, out of Christian kindness, for a man who had suffered so much?
20076Who''s going to buy it?
20076Why did n''t you find out before that fiasco how Miss Fortune intended to vote?
20076Why did n''t you tell me you only had credit of a million dollars in all?
20076Why did n''t you tell_ me_ about it yesterday?"
20076Why do n''t you tell Mr. Jepson, or Mr. Stoddard, that the Old Juan is a perfectly good claim?"
20076Why not Tecolote?
20076Why not?
20076Why not?
20076Why wo n''t you take the money?
20076Why, I thought Mr. McBain----""McBain_ what_?"
20076Why, ca n''t you see his game?
20076Why, no; what''s the matter with Ike?
20076Will you take fifty millions for yours?"
20076Will you walk to town, or shall I?"
20076With fifty cents to eat on, and one more faro game behind him, Rimrock stood thoughtfully on the corner and asked the old question: What next?
20076With interests so vast lying unprotected what could restrain his ruthless hand?
20076Wo n''t the claim be open to location?
20076Would she dare risk a meeting with drunken Ike Bray on the summit of that lonely peak?
20076Would they stand together?
20076Would you think any better of me if I''d quit in the pinch and let McBain get away with my mine?
20076Yes, she bought it from Stoddard; and if I could just pull her over----"How much stock?"
20076You blakum falo bank, no?"
20076You ca n''t tell me different because I can see it right there in your eye?"
20076You dad- burned cub, if I had two good hands---- Say, come on; ai n''t you got a lick of sense?"
20076You do n''t think it could be-- what?
20076You do n''t want fifty- fifty?
20076You leave what it is to me?"
20076You or me?
20076You set up the drinks and try to buy the whole town, but what is the result of it all?
20076You stand pat then, and pull the injured innocence?
20076You think I sold you out to Stoddard?
20076You think so, eh?
20076You understand that, now do n''t you, Mr. Jepson?
20076You wo n''t?
20076You would n''t quit me on a proposition like this?"
20076You''re nothing but a bum and you''re getting worse-- why do n''t you go and put up that gun?"
20076and agreed to it on the spot?"
20076asked Rimrock,"that two thousand Tecolote?
20076burst out Jepson in dismay,"you surely would n''t stop the smelter now?"
20076cried Jepson in a passion,"why expose us to this continual suspense?
20076cried Stoddard,"is n''t it perfectly legal?
20076enquired Rimrock sardonically,"when I jumped out of town without seeing you?
20076grunted Hassayamp looking up over his glasses,"you do n''t reckon I''ve got that much, do you, to sink in a pile of_ sand_?"
20076grunted Rimrock,"for four thousand dollars?
20076he answered truculently,"but who''s got the most, right now?
20076he asked uneasily,"have I done something else that is wrong?"
20076he burst out as she made no answer,"ca n''t you hear, or do n''t you care?"
20076he chuckled,"quit your luck when you''re winning?
20076he cried, all excitement,"have you been listening in on their schemes?"
20076he cried,"not you, too, Buckbee?
20076he exclaimed half- rising to his feet,"do you know it''s half- past twelve?
20076he rumbled bluffly as the horseman waved his hand,"whar you been so long, and nothin''heard of you?
20076he said, leaping forward with his hand out,"will you shake on it?
20076he went on after a tense moment of silence,"what''s the use of making a row?
20076interrupted L. W."Well, how come then that you''re standing here, broke?
20076raved Rimrock,"did you let them fool you on that old, whiskered dodge?
20076responded Stoddard cynically,"may I enquire if you young people have an understanding?"
20076said Rimrock on the instant,"now where do you want to go?"
20076said Rimrock,"did n''t I borrow his picked rock?
20076she asked him quickly,"to finish the work and pay off the men?"
20076she asked sweetly,"the one that you write with?
20076she cried rapturously,"gold from a mine?
20076she echoed,"why, ca n''t you see?
20076she gasped,"I''ve had such a blow-- won''t you take me back to my rooms?
20076she said, getting control of herself,"can''t-- can''t we get you out on bail?
20076shouted L. W.,"what, a report on the Tecolotes?
20076the woman cried as she opened her eyes at Rimrock and held out a jeweled hand,"have you forgotten me already?
20076went on Stoddard, lowering his voice instinctively,"is she really as deaf as she seems?
20076what makes you think he does?"
20076yelled Buckbee as he recognized his voice,"have you been here all the time?
26389A lantern, in this moonlight?
26389A nurse, too? 26389 Be I awake or asleep?
26389But your suit? 26389 But-- is it safe?
26389But--"''But''--what? 26389 Ca n''t you talk, kid?"
26389Could it? 26389 Dear, did you ask the man you call Silent Pete if he passed them anywhere along the road?"
26389Do what again, child?
26389Eh? 26389 Fits good, hey?"
26389Girl, how can you?
26389Has Leslie ever been here before?
26389Have you heard it before? 26389 How are you, sonny?"
26389How came you by that Indian rig? 26389 How can anybody be tired in this glorious air?"
26389How''s business, Andy?
26389However could you see it? 26389 Is it as good as the''cabin,''father?"
26389Is it far? 26389 Is n''t it fine?
26389Is n''t it splendid? 26389 Is this the lad with the injured arm?"
26389Is-- is-- he-- dead?
26389Josà ©, where is this place?
26389Lem, do you think you can run San Leon without me for a few days?
26389Leslie? 26389 Like brook trout, Mis''Ford?"
26389Ma''am? 26389 Molly, what''s the matter?"
26389Now, if we are to''inspect''the''Barracks,''is n''t it time? 26389 Odd, is n''t it?
26389Our very own? 26389 Rather-- what''s down?
26389San Lean? 26389 So you''re up against a tough proposition, are you, youngsters?
26389Suit? 26389 That fellow smart?
26389The doctor? 26389 W- h- a- t?"
26389Well, what''s a hen''s business in life but to lay eggs?
26389Well, you would n''t want a half one, would you, Miss Babcock? 26389 Well, young man?"
26389Were you asleep?
26389What does it mean?
26389What on earth does it mean?
26389What then? 26389 What''s a doin'', younkers?
26389What''s happened, Helena?
26389What''s the difference? 26389 What''s the matter, Les?
26389What? 26389 Where do you suppose Wun Sing is?"
26389Where-- am-- I? 26389 Where-- am-- I?"
26389Who is''Barnaby,''Alfy?
26389Why, Lady Gray, I could n''t let a girl like Molly ride away alone, could I? 26389 Why-- why-- aren''t you coming too?
26389Will you come over there and bring me just another such a luncheon, girlie?
26389Yes, dear, but suppose-- suppose something happened? 26389 You men- folks like''em, too?"
26389A bear hunt?
26389Ai n''t he cute?"
26389Ai n''t it awful solemn in such woods in the night- time?
26389Ai n''t she the best ever?"
26389Ai n''t that great?
26389Ai n''t these the heaviest plates and cups you ever saw?
26389Ai n''t you nowise curious to hear how Netty passed the night?"
26389Alfy leapt from her little bed with an answering cry, frightened by Dorothy''s screech, and hurriedly demanding:"Why-- why-- what?"
26389All right, everybody?
26389All the rest afraid, too?
26389All the white tents on the campus and the darling boys walking about in their white--""Nighties?"
26389An Indian is an Indian, is n''t he?
26389And are n''t we happy?
26389And how long at a time does a fellow keep at it?
26389And say, did anybody ever hear of such a thing before?"
26389And what her father-- could he see his madcap at that moment?
26389And, in any case, what better amusement could you have?
26389Anybody want to go in with me on this deal?
26389Are you crazy?
26389At which the girl also laughed and turned to Jim, asking:"What does he say?
26389Brainy?
26389But Matty did it real cute, after all, did n''t he?
26389But as they passed a room just beyond Leslie''s own, he poked his head through the window, to demand of Mateo, lying within:"Any better, boy?"
26389But do n''t you like it?
26389But suppose it_ had_ been a real one-- would it have eaten us up?"
26389But tell me, what shall I call you?"
26389But this thing I''m on-- Call this a horse?
26389But was n''t he just grand-- and hideous?"
26389But when silence followed Leslie impatiently inquired:"Well, why do n''t you?"
26389But why?
26389By the way, Wunny, when did you empty the nest?"
26389CHAPTER VII A RIFLE PRACTICE"Mother, what do you mean?
26389Ca n''t you think anything, see anything but-- stones?
26389Can I run there quick?
26389Can bears-- open-- open-- things?"
26389Can you bring me some water?
26389Can you ride a horse, Little One?"
26389Captain Lemuel, please saddle Azul for Jim Barlow, and, Daniel, will you use him, please, till Jim comes back?"
26389Captain saluted his"chief"and replied, a trifle testily:"That''s what I have been doin''for a purty consid''able spell, ai n''t it, Boss?"
26389Clever?
26389Could I, as a gentleman, let you ride off alone on a lonely road at night?
26389Could a fowl, free from an evil spirit, so conduct itself?
26389Did I hurt you?
26389Did n''t Leslie tell you?"
26389Did n''t you know a thing about it, Dolly Doodles?"
26389Did n''t you understand?
26389Did you ever see such a sleepy head, Nell?"
26389Did you ever wear an Indian costume?"
26389Did you think they was from the Plains?"
26389Did you understand?"
26389Do n''t s''pose with all them men around they''d have let it live very long?
26389Do n''t suppose your folks''d eat a bigger mess''n that, do you?
26389Do n''t you know how to set a table yet, great girl like you?
26389Do n''t you know how to treat a lady?"
26389Do you know those poor lambs have to change their white suits every day?
26389Do you know when your shirt''s buttoned or when it ai n''t?
26389Do you know where he is?
26389Do you know where they are?"
26389Do you know, Papa is getting quite anxious for a stock farm?
26389Do you know-- do you?--where that other hotel is, that Metropolitan?"
26389Do you s''pose I''ll desert her?
26389Do you s''pose I''ll ever do it again?"
26389Do you want something?"
26389Does n''t it, Miss Dorothy?"
26389Donde?_"Dorothy stared at him, then put her hands on each side his chubby face and kissed him.
26389Dorothy listened, asking questions now and then, and finally inquired:"Is this Alaric an Indian?"
26389Eh, Alfy?
26389Eh, Little One?
26389Eh, what?
26389Eh?"
26389Either that-- or-- are you quite sure that no practical joke has been played by any of the boys-- or by yourselves?"
26389Even my father--""Never mind him, then, but tell me how in the world you happened to come just here and now?"
26389Fast?
26389Ford?"
26389Ford?"
26389Ford?"
26389Ford?"
26389Girths tight?
26389Gone to raisin''sheep, have ye?
26389Have n''t I, with my nerves, lived through that ride?
26389He laid his hand upon her head and gently asked:"Was he your brother, little girl?"
26389He looked to the sympathetic girl as if he were very tired and, leaving the rest, she crossed to him and asked:"Who are you, little boy?
26389He recognized Dorothy as the girl to whom he had given his pet lamb and promptly demanded:"_ El cordero?
26389He tried to speak and after several efforts succeeded in asking, audibly:"Where am I?"
26389He will probably be found near at hand, although--""Has n''t he been looked for''near at hand,''then, dear Gray Lady?"
26389He-- When he had reached this point, Alfy shook him demanding:"What makes you such a fool, Wunny?
26389Hear me, Dorothy Doodles?"
26389Hear me?
26389How could I when she came from Jim?"
26389How dared they give me such a thing?"
26389How did you do it, child?
26389How did you get so far away from''em, alone?"
26389How in my senses have you all got away out here to this jumpin''off place of all creation?
26389How in the world did I ever fancy it?
26389How many have you found?"
26389How many will the first buckboard carry?"
26389How much of all that stuff do you really want?"
26389How much''ll you take for her, cooky?
26389How soon do you leave, Mr. Ford?
26389How tell whether a horse is groomed or is n''t?"
26389How''d he come by them?
26389How''s Ma Babcock?
26389How''s Melvin?"
26389How''s Pa?
26389How''s every single one the precious folks up- mounting?
26389However, neither the cabman nor Leslie accepted their offering, and the latter exclaimed:"Ai n''t this rippin''?
26389I can''t-- how can I?--let her go alone?"
26389I have n''t anybody but Jim, that has known me always, seems if, and-- and dear Doctor, wo n''t you please, please find him?"
26389I-- I love you best of all the world, so why should n''t we keep together?"
26389If I had shot him instead of his clothes what would they have done to me?
26389If you thought about me why did n''t you come back to look for me?"
26389If you wo n''t go, will you send somebody?"
26389Is it a surprise?
26389Is it so?
26389Is n''t it fine of Mrs. Roderick to get a meal this time of night, or day, or whatever hour it is?"
26389Is n''t it past breakfast time?"
26389Is n''t there something I-- we-- can do to help you off?
26389Is that your pert valet laid up in yon?
26389Is there a doctor here?"
26389It''s all settled, is n''t it?
26389It''s kindness to let him alone and--"Dolly looked serious and shook her head while Monty again demanded:"Have you heard about Wun Sing''s hen?"
26389Kind of takes a feller''s breath away, do n''t it?"
26389Lady Gray, will you practice with us?"
26389Lessen a little tenderfoot like-- Why, what''s he down for?
26389Like to see where the boys hang out?
26389Mattie put her arms akimbo and stared; then demanded, in turn:"Ca n''t you do anything sensibler than''whip''cream?
26389May I go to the doctor?"
26389Maybe, too, who knows?
26389Miss Milliken, did you ever''cross the plains''before?"
26389Money?
26389Mr. Ford started off at a brisk pace, the young folks trying to equal his long strides, and Alfaretta asking:"Is that cripple crazy?
26389No?
26389Nobody could; eh, what?"
26389Nor one that was n''t living?"
26389Now why?"
26389Now, Captain, ca n''t we go on and find out what wonderful thing is hidden in that corral behind these Barracks?"
26389Now-- here she goes:''Three Blind Mice-- Three Blind Mice-- For mercy''s sake, Helena Montaigne, why do n''t you take it up?
26389Now-- when do you start?
26389Odd, is n''t it?
26389Or father?
26389Or is it my own impatience?"
26389Or try to overtake the others?"
26389Ride, eh?
26389Robson?"
26389Says--"Dorothy looked up from her own task to ask:"Why should he let you buy it then?"
26389See how it shines?
26389Shall I carry it?"
26389Shall we go back?
26389She ended with the question:"Will you go back with me now, Jim?
26389Silver?
26389Sort of needs washin'', do n''t it?
26389Stirrups to suit?
26389Suppose we get old Lem to go with us into the mountains yonder and look for Jim?"
26389That I love best of all the world?
26389That fur away?"
26389That she who so longed to have this home and so enjoyed it should have to leave it to us, a lot of strange youngsters, to use instead?"
26389The Mexican flushed and sighed:"It is that_ el señor_ is not well,_ si_?"
26389The schoolma''am lady, for instance?"
26389The visitors had smiled, too, but with amusement at this odd old ranchman''s discipline; and Monty had whispered:"What makes''em put up with it?
26389Then turning toward Monty, valiantly struggling with this new business, he inquired in real kindness:"Want me to lend a hand, youngster?"
26389They had been a little company of eight and because one was away should the seven be made to suffer?
26389Though I suppose you''ll be willing, we, your guests, shall do as we please?"
26389Tried it on himself?"
26389Want the rest of those berries, girlie?
26389Was he not a free- born American citizen, as good as could be found in all the country?
26389Was it that scared you?"
26389Was n''t he master at San Leon, now?
26389Was that what the young señor had set his heart upon and been denied?
26389Wasting the time when there''s so little of it?
26389Well, Mrs. Ford, have you arranged the company?"
26389Well, are you comin''or not?"
26389Well, señor?"
26389Were the three boys planning to steal off by themselves, despite Captain Lemuel''s warnings?
26389Were they not to show Mr. Ford how well they could carry themselves?
26389What can I do?"
26389What do you say, folks?
26389What do you say?"
26389What does he want?"
26389What does it all mean?"
26389What does this mean?
26389What had not Dolly been to him?
26389What makes you ask?"
26389What right has he to order them around?"
26389What say?"
26389What was that she was saying?
26389What would Aunt Lucretia say?
26389What you goin''to name your lamb, Little One?"
26389What''d he mean by sellin''things to''Cookies''and what''s a''school- ma''am- racket''?"
26389What''d the Boss say?"
26389What''s the matter with the hen, anyway?"
26389What''s the matter?"
26389What''s the use of a ranch on the Rockies and not go bear hunting?
26389What''s the use of making it a work day, then?
26389What''s up, Boss?"
26389What''s up, Sis?"
26389What''s up?"
26389What''s wrong with her, you think, Wunny?"
26389What''s wrong?
26389What''s your name?"
26389What''tragedy''could have happened up here in this lovely place?"
26389What-- here-- why?
26389What-- was-- that?"
26389What?
26389Whenever had he used such an expression?
26389Where are the others, do you think?
26389Where can we look for Wunny?
26389Where did you get that?"
26389Where do you think that buckboard is?"
26389Where is Leslie?"
26389Where''d you find it?"
26389Where?"
26389Who are you?"
26389Who could have sent it?"
26389Who''d have believed it?
26389Who''s afraid?"
26389Why Netty, if you please?"
26389Why did you, Leslie, run away into all that danger against my wishes?"
26389Why do you do that?"
26389Why does n''t he come in?
26389Why should n''t I?
26389Why should there be any difference?
26389Why?"
26389Why?"
26389Why?"
26389Will it please_ el señor_ to listen?"
26389Will you all help me?
26389Will you all take my dear husband''s words for a summer text and make life at this dear San Leon a synonym of''Peace and Good Will''?"
26389Will you take it?"
26389Will you?"
26389Would I have been hung by the neck till you are dead and the Lord have mercy on your soul?
26389Would I?"
26389You do n''t?
26389You knew you were going to an isolated ranch on a mountain, so how could you expect daily papers, visitors, and such things?
26389You like to go along, Helena?"
26389You wo n''t go, eh?
26389_ Wo n''t_ you make them give me the right case?"
26389_ Wun Sing?_ Why that was the name of Aunt Betty''s cook at_ El Paraiso_!
26389could tell if that too studious youth were alive or dead?
26389do you think so?
26389how could I sleep so?
26389is n''t this going to be just a glorious summer?
26389is n''t this rippin''?
26389shrieked the onlookers,"what have you done?"
26389sir, have you found him?"
26389where''s Dad?"
26389you are, eh?
23244''Her?''
23244''Sand''and-- er-- intestines are synonymous terms in your vernacular?
23244A Western millionaire, I venture?
23244Ah- h?
23244Ai n''t that a great picture?
23244Ai n''t you goin''to git us somethin''?
23244Ai n''t you two ashamed of yerselves?
23244And a quarter-- and a quarter-- gentlemen, what ails you?
23244And how is kitty?
23244And you like my cooking, Rufus? 23244 Anything in particular I can do for you?"
23244Are n''t you surprised to see me?
23244Are n''t you?
23244Are they here?
23244Are they some kind of a varmint?
23244Are you afraid of him?
23244Ashamed?
23244But what_ could_ happen now?
23244Ca n''t you say things plainer?
23244Ca n''t you see them specks movin''off yonder?
23244Ca n''t you spread a paper for a tablecloth? 23244 Can I be of any assistance?"
23244Can you make out the brand?
23244Can you ride him''slick,''Pinkey?
23244Cattle?
23244Chickens?
23244Could he have made way with himself?
23244Could it have been your subconscious mind?
23244Could n''t we eat first?
23244Could you give me the precise significance?
23244Did she see me?
23244Did we do that?
23244Did you ever see anything prettier?
23244Did you hear that terrible racket?
23244Did you see the robins this morning, Wallie?
23244Did you take her with you this summer?
23244Did you want them, Miss Spenceley? 23244 Do n''t it look kinda funny that Miss Eyester would take any in''trist in Old Man Penrose?
23244Do you care, really?
23244Do you get the flavour at all?
23244Do you see much of him?
23244Do you suppose I could grow potatoes? 23244 Do you suppose any thing''s happened?"
23244Do you suppose we''ll have much trouble when the train pulls in?
23244Do you think they''ve been in long?
23244Do?
23244Does it seem tough?
23244Does it take long to make gravy?
23244Er-- by the way--Wallie''s tone was elaborately casual--"what did she mean yesterday when she called me''Gentle Annie''?"
23244Even when they run themselves down following a cold trail?
23244Has any of''em been kickin''on me?
23244Have I got to try a chunk o''lead on you?
23244Have you seen Cutie, Wallie?
23244He will?
23244Hear that?
23244Hicks, was, or was not, that trout you gave my wife, wormy?
23244How are we going to get it out?
23244How are you fixed for horses?
23244How dare you speak so to me?
23244How did you git down?
23244How far is it?
23244How far we got?
23244How high do you think I should go?
23244How kin we go to court?
23244How much am I offered for this pair of magnificent young horses?
23244How should I know?
23244How''s the bad heart to- day, Miss Eyester?
23244How''sh I know?
23244How, changed?
23244How-- grief?
23244How-- thumb him? 23244 I remember that my mother-- my mother, by the way, Mr. Penrose, was a Sproat----""Shoat?"
23244I s''pose a dollar ai n''t any more to them than a nickel to us?
23244I will not be bullied in any such fashion, and I ca n''t very well be put out forcibly, can I?
23244I''ve been coming here for twenty- eight years, have n''t I?
23244If I had about''four fingers''in a wash- tub every half hour---- What would you hold a quart of that at?
23244In that event?
23244Indeed?
23244Indeed?
23244Indeed?
23244Is he a dude or is he a duder that he has to go guidin''people to see sights they prob''ly do n''t want to look at?
23244Is his horse in the corral?
23244Is it anything in particular-- anything which I can remedy? 23244 Is n''t it the ford?"
23244Is n''t my word good?
23244Is n''t that a brand on the shoulder?
23244Is she ill?
23244Is that so? 23244 Is that so?"
23244Is that the horse you always ride, Wallie?
23244Lost her?
23244Maybe, before I go, you''ll give me some p''inters?
23244Me-- jealous? 23244 Me?"
23244Must I give away the best pullin''team in the State for a puny, piddlin''five hundred and fifty dollars?
23244My nephew, Wallace Macpherson-- you may have heard of him? 23244 Never?"
23244No offence-- no offence, I hope?
23244No-- what?
23244Now, what sort of a conveyance have you provided?
23244Or glad?
23244Our luggage? 23244 Pack- rat or weasel?"
23244Perhaps you think I am not capable of earning my own living?
23244Perhaps you''re getting tired of my cooking?
23244Pink,demanded Wallie, solemnly,"did you smell anything when he raised that plank?"
23244Pink,he said, solemnly,"why would n''t this make a dude ranch?"
23244Pleasant people, are n''t they?
23244Rolling?
23244Say, can you open your mouth any wider?
23244Say, what''s the chanct of gittin''along with you f''rever an''ever?
23244Sence the country went dry I do n''t much care whether I draw wages or not-- they''s nothin''to spend money for, so what''s the use of workin''? 23244 Sha n''t I cook you some bacon?"
23244Taught? 23244 That roar-- can''t you hear it?"
23244That''s a real nice picture,he said, finally,"but I thought you aimed to go in for cattle?"
23244The buckskin?
23244They would have_ eaten_ her?
23244Time''s up-- yes or no?
23244To- day?
23244Varmint?
23244Wallie,Mrs. Stott called to him,"will you give me the address of that milliner whose hats you said you liked particularly?
23244Was that a part of the regular programme or an impromptu feature of the day''s entertainment?
23244Well?
23244What did he do that for?
23244What did he say?
23244What do you mean by that?
23244What do you think I''m doing, Wallie?
23244What do you want?
23244What good are you, either? 23244 What good is it?"
23244What is it?
23244What makes you think it?
23244What will we have for supper, Pinkey?
23244What with?
23244What would I go wastin''money like that for?
23244What you doin''that for?
23244What you taking such a hot day to ride for?
23244What''ll we do?
23244What''s that huffin'', do you reckon?
23244What''s that?
23244What''s the matter now?
23244What''s the matter with you?
23244What''s the matter, Honey Dumplin''?
23244What''s the matter?
23244Where did you find it?
23244Where did you get it?
23244Where did you keep''em?
23244Where have I heard that word?
23244Where then?
23244Where''s Pinkey?
23244Where''s my clothes?
23244Where''s your clothes?
23244Where?
23244Which''her''?
23244Who bit you, feller?
23244Who could rest, to say nothing of sleeping, within six blocks of Mr. Penrose? 23244 Who sold liquor to you two?"
23244Who''s stopping you?
23244Who''s that?
23244Whur you goin''?
23244Why did n''t you git up the same way?
23244Why did n''t you take it up yourself, Pinkey?
23244Why did n''t you tell me you were going to camp in the middle of the morning?
23244Why do n''t you let out them stirrups and shove your feet in''em?
23244Why do n''t you marry some rich widow and get us a stake?
23244Why do n''t you sue me for damages? 23244 Why do n''t you talk United States?
23244Why not California or Arizona?
23244Why should we consider his interests? 23244 Why, what''s the matter?"
23244Why?
23244Will the divining rod tell you how far you must dig for it?
23244Will you be good enough to permit me to examine this animal?
23244Will you go?
23244Will you say good- bye to me, Aunt Mary?
23244Will you shut up?
23244Yes-- like a crashing-- what is it?
23244You ai n''t washin''that blue shirt a''ready?
23244You and Miss Spenceley are from the same section, I take it?
23244You are sure he''s not ill?
23244You do n''t s''pose any of''em''ll slip out and run back?
23244You enjoyed your summer?
23244You goin''to drag him out?
23244You got it with you?
23244You hear?
23244You mean that?
23244You mean,Mr. Appel interrogated,"a white man who marries an Indian woman?"
23244You see that p''int ahead of us? 23244 You understand how I feel, do n''t you?"
23244You will excuse me if I speak frankly?
23244You will, then, not discharge him?
23244You, too, found the Western country interesting?
23244Your thoughts of me are kinder than usual, are n''t they, Helene? 23244 _ What are they?_"His emphasis was not flattering.
23244_ Why_, Auntie?
23244''Is it true that snakes shed their skin, and do the hot pools in the Yellowstone Park freeze in winter?''
23244''Tain''t no notorious animal like pole- kitty?"
23244''Tain''t wood- pussy or nothin'', Wallie?
23244A girl like her would n''t care nothin''about his money, would she?"
23244A little anxiously Pinkey asked:"Do n''t you bleeve he''s had enough?"
23244A thought struck him-- rabbit was hare and hare was rabbit, was n''t it?
23244After a time Pinkey asked, yawning:"What did we do last night?
23244After another period of reflection Pinkey asked abruptly:"Do you believe in signs?"
23244Ai n''t it gittin''time to work on''em?"
23244Am I offered four hundred?"
23244And if anybody dast say''teeth''to me----""Whatever made you do it?"
23244And was the earth under the Yellowstone Park hollow?
23244And,"Pinkey demanded,"what might them horrors be on the platter?
23244As an opening wedge Mr. Stott smiled engagingly and pointed to it:"For exceptional gallantry, I presume-- a war medal?"
23244As soon as they were out of the building, Wallie inquired casually:"Does Miss Spenceley live in my neighbourhood?"
23244But after the last candle had been extinguished he called to his wife cheerily:"Are you all right, dearie?"
23244But inquired further:"Is that stuffin''or in''ards coming through the sewin''down the front of''em?"
23244But was n''t it exciting?"
23244By the way, Mr. Cone, have you heard that story?
23244By the way, Mr. Macpherson, what are you goin''to do with that homestead you took up?"
23244CHAPTER VII HIS"GAT""How much''Jack''did you say you got?"
23244Can you recommend a team that would suit me?"
23244Canby?"
23244Cone?"
23244Could n''t he?
23244Dead?
23244Did eagles really carry off children?
23244Did he see a speck that moved or did he imagine it?
23244Did n''t you see me sniff?
23244Do n''t you think it will make a lovely dresser- scarf?
23244Do you know what I think''s gnawin''on him?"
23244Do you know, Mr. Cone, I never before have fully appreciated my husband-- his splendid courage?"
23244Do you purl four and knit six, or purl six and knit four, Wallie?"
23244Do you suppose anybody has abused her?"
23244Fainted?
23244Filled with sudden misgivings, he asked feebly:"What''s it good for?"
23244Finally he asked in a tone which showed that he had pride in his legal knowledge:"Will I or will I not incriminate myself by answering?"
23244Fripp?"
23244Fripp?"
23244Got anything to eat?
23244Has your old enemy Rheumatism again got his clutches on you?"
23244Have n''t you any shame about you?"
23244Have you bid on anything?"
23244Having made her decision she asked in an undertone:"I can trust you?"
23244He left the horses and ran after the cow, shouting:"Whoa-- can''t you?"
23244He passed it to Helene: Will you come home if I tell you I was wrong and want you?
23244He turned to Wallie:"Am I done, gentlemen?"
23244Hicks, where is she?
23244How about that?"
23244How you got that figgered?"
23244I am sorry----""Want them?
23244I had a pal that tried it onct, and when I seen him, I says:''How is it, Jess?''
23244I hope-- I trust you will believe I have not given him any encouragement?"
23244I mean the place where the steer chased Aunt Lizzie-- did any one ever tell you that yarn, Cone?"
23244I presume,"addressing herself to Mr. Hicks, who was standing with arms akimbo enjoying her enjoy it,"it is due to something in the water?"
23244I suppose you''d suffer somethin''horrible if there was a horse- deal on and you had to keep your mouth shut?"
23244I trust I am not too optimistic?"
23244I''ll bet her lips were purple as a plum, do n''t you?"
23244I''m the celebrated slugger---- The song stopped as Pinkey asked:"Shall we work together or separate?"
23244If rabbit was not game, what was it?
23244Is it too dry?"
23244Is there another like him?"
23244It was clear enough that nothing flattering was intended, but what did she mean by it?
23244Leaning over the edge of the well, he called down cheerily:"How you making it?"
23244Me jealous of an old Methuselah that do n''t know enough to make a mark in the road?"
23244Miss Mercy''s contralto voice boomed at him:"What happened to the driver?"
23244Mr. Cone lowered his voice discreetly:"What was her explanation?"
23244Mr. Hicks, who frequently joined in the conversation when anything interested him, snorted from the kitchen doorway:"Ill?
23244Mr. Penrose was so hard on Hicks that Mr. Appel interposed quickly:"Do they ever come around at night, Cookie?"
23244Mrs. Appel held up a sweater:"Wo n''t you tell me how to turn this shoulder?
23244Now, with her fork in the fish, Mrs. Stott looked around the table and inquired graciously if she might not divide it with someone?
23244Of course you''d aim to board us?"
23244Offended, Wallie demanded:"Am I in error as to her age?"
23244One of her stifle j''ints----"The mare''s owner interrupted at this juncture:"You jest turn your mouth on, do n''t you, Tex, and go off and leave it?"
23244Penrose?"
23244Pinkey consulted his watch and hinted:"Do n''t you want me to make the bread?"
23244Pinkey interrupted:"How do you git to work to get teeth, Mr. Hicks, if they ai n''t no dentist handy?"
23244She said significantly:"Do n''t you think you are a little ungrateful-- in the circumstances?"
23244Shocked at the language, Wallie demanded:"It is, then, an epithet of opprobrium?"
23244Somewhere on Walnut, was n''t it?"
23244Tearin''the clothes off''n m''back?
23244That''s fair, ai n''t it?"
23244The Happy Family had been friends as well as patrons, and without friends what did life amount to?
23244The auctioneer cupped his hand behind his ear and leaned forward:"What?"
23244The auctioneer struck his forehead with his clenched fist and staggered back dramatically, demanding:"Am I insulted?"
23244The raps finally awakened even Mr. Penrose, who demanded sharply:"What are you doing?"
23244Then generously:"What kind of a summer did you have?
23244Then, curiosity consuming him, he hazarded another question:"What did she say when she heard I was coming?"
23244There where it sticks over?
23244They''re all pretty well fixed, ai n''t they?"
23244Very distinctly he called back:"How much damages will you give me for driving your cattle into my wheat?"
23244Wallie always carried a rope on his saddle, why did n''t he use it?
23244Wallie could not resist crowing:"You did n''t think I''d last, did you?
23244Wallie has n''t mentioned it in his letters, has he?"
23244Wallie heard his step and asked plaintively but without turning:"What''ll I do with him?"
23244Wallie smiled patronizingly:"How else would I know?"
23244Was anything wrong with his system, he wondered?
23244Was he afraid?
23244Was he capable of putting ground- glass in the sugar, he wondered, or dropping a spider in something?
23244Was he only a"yellow- back"cowpuncher after all, underneath his Western regalia?
23244Was he sick?
23244Was we fightin''?"
23244What did it matter, after all, he reflected, if"Cutie"had kittens in the linen closet, and that Mrs. Appel used the hotel soap to do her laundry?
23244What do you make of this, pardner?"
23244What kind of stuff do they use to make the cast of your gooms of?"
23244What would you advise?
23244What would you line it with?"
23244What you cookin''?"
23244What''s happened to ye?"
23244What_ is_ the matter?"
23244When did you start it?"
23244Who says three and a quarter?"
23244Why could n''t he and Aunt Mary do something different for the winter?
23244Why do n''t you come West and git civilized?
23244Why do n''t you look on the bright side of things like you useta?
23244Why do n''t you select a place that wo n''t conflict with his interests?"
23244Why?"
23244Why?"
23244You are less critical?"
23244You like it then?"
23244You like your food highly seasoned with plenty of soda in the pancakes and dough- goods?"
23244You mean,"wonderingly,"that somebody_ learnt_ you to ride horseback?"
23244Your sister?"
23244what is it made of?"
21368A lesson in what?
21368A night attack, eh?
21368A vein, boy? 21368 Ah, Beaver,"said Bart, as the chief came out of the corral,"why is this?"
21368Ah, we''re going to have a new town, are we, master?
21368All of you?
21368All ready?
21368All, Joses?
21368And did the Indians make a fuss over him?
21368And did you overtake them?
21368And did you, Joses?
21368And feed cattle, eh?
21368And have I not?
21368And have these men ever fought with Indians?
21368And if the Doctor has got us together to take us right out there for the sake of his own ends?
21368And if they do?
21368And now what''s going to be done? 21368 And now, please sir, when may we start-- to- night?"
21368And ruining me at last, my lads? 21368 And so you think there is no silver here, sir?"
21368And tell me when I may be allowed to mine my silver in peace?
21368And then there was the awful flash and roar, Joses?
21368And this will all be labour in vain, Joses?
21368And we should be easily seen from a distance, I suppose?
21368And what about you, Joses?
21368And where is the silver canyon?
21368And why can you see it against the sky?
21368And why not, pray?
21368And will he take me there?
21368And you know Injuns''eyes and ears are sharper than ours?
21368And you want to go back?
21368And you will go back because it is dangerous?
21368And you will go back?
21368Any other orders?
21368Are the bulls very dangerous?
21368Are there so many as you say, Joses?
21368Are they mounted?
21368Are they still there?
21368Are those bison?
21368Are we going to leave them beautiful fish the Beaver and old Speechworks here have caught and cooked?
21368Are we likely to see Mr Grizzly as well?
21368Are you a doctor?
21368Are you hurt, Joses?
21368Are you hurt, Sam?
21368Are you only going to take fifty?
21368Are you sure?
21368Are you there, Beaver?
21368But am I to ride right up to the herd, Joses?
21368But are you not hurt at all?
21368But can you see immediate danger?
21368But do you think--"Do I think he has escaped, my lad?
21368But had we not better pull up, Joses?
21368But how are we to carry it away, sir?
21368But how could they tell that this was the entrance?
21368But how did you manage to escape?
21368But if I ca n''t get away, and they shoot at me?
21368But if they found it in the morning, Bart,she said,"what then?"
21368But is there silver there?
21368But it is Juan, is it not?
21368But not our sort of sheep?
21368But the bears are gone?
21368But they gave you another chance, Joses?
21368But what people would they be, sir? 21368 But where are the Apaches?"
21368But where are the other Indians?
21368But where? 21368 But who would have dug it?"
21368But why are you sure?
21368But why not?
21368But will he find our trail over such stony ground?
21368But wolves would n''t attack the great bison, would they?
21368But would you have me turn upon them and shoot them, Joses?
21368But you expect them to come, do n''t you?
21368But you object to going forward, my men?
21368But you will lose no time, sir?
21368But you will not let them go without me, sir?
21368By running into it at every turn, eh, my boy?
21368By the bears''claws?
21368Calf?
21368Can you see any sign of Joses, sir?
21368Can you see anything, Joses?
21368Catch up to''em? 21368 Catch''em, my boy?
21368Could n''t we contrive a gallery along the face of the mountain, right along above the ravine and the stables, sir?
21368Did I tell you right about''em before,said Joses,"or did I tell you wrong, my lad?"
21368Did n''t touch you, did they, Master Bart?
21368Did the Doctor order this?
21368Did the beasts claw you?
21368Did you get the letter?
21368Did-- did I slip from the rocks, or have I been asleep?
21368Do I think the Injuns will notice it, Master Bart? 21368 Do n''t talk foolery, Joses,"cried Bart, angrily,"Do you think I''m a child?"
21368Do n''t you wish we had a nice new loaf or two, Bart?
21368Do you mean that you will lend me the pony to go after my own?
21368Do you mean that, Joses?
21368Do you see this sabre?
21368Do you think he ever will hit upon a good mine of gold or silver, Joses?
21368Do you think it is necessary, Joses?
21368Do you think it was made by men, sir?
21368Do you think that if we frightened him, he would try to get back then?
21368Do you think the Apaches will come again to- night?
21368Do you think the Indians will notice the flag, Joses?
21368Do you think they mean to continue friendly?
21368Do you think they will molest us now?
21368Do you think they will strike our trail?
21368Do you think we shall meet with any, Joses?
21368Do you think we shall see any more of the Indians, Joses?
21368Do, my lad? 21368 Does the chief know of such a place?"
21368End of what?
21368Escaped me?
21368Faraway?
21368Feel faint, Bart?
21368Find it? 21368 Fine one, Joses?"
21368For gold and silver and that sort of thing, master?
21368Frighten him back?
21368Frightened?
21368Glad?
21368Going to cut it out, master?
21368Had n''t we better leave our rifles ashore there, under the trees?
21368Has anybody brought bad news?
21368Have you ever been up?
21368Have you heard of anything?
21368Have you seen anything, then?
21368Horrible indeed, Bart; but what should you think? 21368 How about going down into the canyon to spear salmon now?"
21368How are you, chief?
21368How can you tell that?
21368How could we take her into the wilds?
21368How did they know the cattle were there?
21368How do I know? 21368 How do we know that the Injuns wo n''t come to- night to look after the men they''ve lost?
21368How do you know, Joses?
21368How far do you think we are from the camp?
21368How far is it down to the plain?
21368How is it, Joses?
21368How was it?
21368I ca n''t see nothing-- can you?
21368I know that, my brave fellow; but if they were yours, would you let them go out to graze?
21368I mean may I ride pretty close up to one without getting gored?
21368I mean what am I to do if I am in close quarters, and feel that they will kill me?
21368I say are you glad, though?
21368I say, young one, are you asleep?
21368I suppose you would not care to go upon such a rough expedition as this, Bart?
21368I''ll do the best I can, Joses, you may be sure; but suppose I should come upon an Indian party-- what am I to do?
21368I''m ready, sir; when shall I go?
21368I''m to come too, ai n''t I?
21368Injun, my lad; do n''t you see''em? 21368 Instead of being close at home, eh, lad?
21368Is he mad?
21368Is it much farther, sir?
21368Is it not enough?
21368Is it, boy? 21368 Is it, sir?"
21368Is it? 21368 Is there any danger?"
21368Is there danger?
21368It is a long way, is it not?
21368It is delicious, Joses,said Bart;"but now had we not better go back?"
21368It was my fault; and the greasers ran away?
21368Look down there, Bart,said the Doctor, rather excitedly;"what do you make of it?"
21368Lovely? 21368 Mad?
21368May we ride up to them now?
21368Mean it, my lad? 21368 Mean?
21368Miles, Joses?
21368Must I fire_ at_ them then, Joses?
21368Must I?
21368Now, Beaver,cried Joses, finishing the re- loading of his piece,"what do you say to a bold rash forward-- right to the mouth of the chimney?"
21368Now, master?
21368P''r''aps we shall stay here a week then, master?
21368Poor, Joses?
21368Safe, Joses?
21368Safe? 21368 Safer?
21368Shall I creep out to him?
21368Shall I hold his arm?
21368Shall I wake up the Doctor?
21368Shall we catch up to them again, Joses?
21368Shall we turn back?
21368Surrender? 21368 Tell me what?"
21368That means scouting, does it not?
21368That woke him up, I suppose?
21368The young chief sees the Apache dogs?
21368Then we might find metals here, sir?
21368Then what is it?
21368Then why has n''t a good puff of wind blown them off and down into the plain?
21368Then you would not surrender?
21368They would n''t have escaped you like that, would they, Beaver?
21368They''re gone, then?
21368They''ve gone on jumping down like that right to the bottom, Master Bart, and--"Is that the flock?
21368They? 21368 Think so, Master Bart?"
21368This is silver, is it not?
21368Tired, Master Bart?
21368To ride on to Lerisco, sir?
21368Trusted? 21368 Try again, sir?"
21368Turn back? 21368 Very little, sir; but perhaps Joses was right: he said he thought there must be a fire out there to make it stand out so clearly, and--""Well?
21368Walk up to them?
21368We must have meat, must n''t we? 21368 Well, Bart, what is it?"
21368Well, Joses?
21368Well, how many bufflers did you shoot?
21368Well, it does sound too horrid; do n''t it, eh? 21368 Well, my boy,"he said,"is all right?"
21368Well, what did he prescribe?
21368Well, what do you mean?
21368Well, what do you say to taking our rifles and exploring?
21368Well, what''s the difference?
21368Well, what''s to hinder''em from coming close up? 21368 Well, yes, my lad, one would think so; but do n''t you see how it is?
21368Well,said the speaker, after a long pause,"you do not speak; I say, are you afraid?"
21368What about your companions, my lad?
21368What about, master?
21368What are these coming after us?
21368What are those?
21368What are we to do?
21368What are you going to do?
21368What did I tell you? 21368 What do I mean, my boy?
21368What do you mean?
21368What do you mean?
21368What do you say to that, Beaver?
21368What do you say?
21368What do you think?
21368What does all this mean, Joses?
21368What does he say?
21368What does that mean, think you?
21368What does the Beaver mean?
21368What for? 21368 What for?"
21368What is he doing?
21368What is it, my lad?
21368What is it, sir?
21368What is it?
21368What is it?
21368What is to be done then?
21368What luck?
21368What of her?
21368What shall you do to them, Joses?
21368What should you think this place must have been?
21368What then?
21368What''s come of all them chaps, Master Bart?
21368What''s that, sir; the distance?
21368What''s the danger?
21368What''s the matter, Sam; why do n''t you come back?
21368What''s to be done, then?
21368What''s wrong?
21368What''s wrong?
21368What, buffler, my lad? 21368 What, like the place where the mountain sheep went down?"
21368What, them?
21368What, whack''em with their tails? 21368 What, you?
21368What-- what has happened?
21368Whatever shall I do?
21368When?
21368Where are we going?
21368Where are we now? 21368 Where is Joses?
21368Where''s Joses?
21368Where, Beaver?
21368Where?
21368Which way are they going?
21368Which way do you think the Indians were going, Joses?
21368Why ca n''t they keep still?
21368Why do n''t the Beaver come back, Joses?
21368Why do n''t they rush off, Joses?
21368Why do n''t you speak?
21368Why do they do that, Joses?
21368Why have n''t they been blown off-- why have n''t they been blown off, Master Bart? 21368 Why have you left your post?"
21368Why not wait till night and steal off?
21368Why not, Master Bart? 21368 Why not, my lad?
21368Why not, my lad?
21368Why not, sir? 21368 Why not?
21368Why should the sheep send them away?
21368Why, Joses,panted Bart,"I thought--""As I was killed?
21368Why, Joses?
21368Why, how did you know?
21368Why, those are wild grapes too, are they not?
21368Why, what for-- to get water?
21368Why, you do n''t think that physic would do our eyes any good, do you, Joses?
21368Why, you thought the Injun had got me, did you, Master Bart? 21368 Why?"
21368Worked? 21368 Would it be safe to allow Bart here to go with you after the bison?"
21368Would they, Beaver?
21368Would you be afraid to follow him, my boy?
21368Yes, Master Bart, and was n''t it enough? 21368 Yes, but why do it look quaint and strange?"
21368Yes?
21368You are, my lad?
21368You do n''t mean to say you ran him down, lad, and shot him, do you?
21368You know I would n''t send you into danger, do n''t you?
21368You know the way from here down into the plain?
21368You mean buffler, do n''t you?
21368You think he is to be trusted, do n''t you, Joses?
21368You think there are mineral riches up in the mountains then?
21368You trust me then to do my best for you?
21368You were?
21368You wo n''t go if the weather''s bad, I s''pose, my lad?
21368You wo n''t go? 21368 You, sir?"
21368You?
21368Young chief Bart, see?
21368` Did he bite you?'' 21368 ` What''s matter, mate?''
21368` What''s the matter with you?'' 21368 Ah, would you?
21368Any alarm?"
21368Are we to carry the mountain back to the old ranche?"
21368Are you afraid?"
21368Bart obeyed mechanically as Joses shouted:"Now then, how long are you going to sit there?"
21368But I say, Master Bart, hear that?"
21368But Joses?
21368But how about the grizzly?"
21368But look here-- you can see the Injuns out there, ca n''t you?"
21368But when shall I go?"
21368But where is it to be found?
21368But which way?
21368But why do you want to move the camp?"
21368But why should n''t I get another?"
21368But you''ve killed the bear among you?"
21368Can you climb it?"
21368Can you make room for me?"
21368Can you?"
21368Come now, my excitable young friend, you think I have been rather quiet and tame with these wretches, do n''t you?"
21368Did n''t the Beaver say that the master''s glass was all good medicine?
21368Did you hear anything?"
21368Do you know why?"
21368Do you see?"
21368Do you suppose I want to be trampled down and tossed?"
21368Do you think the enemy will come back?"
21368Do you want to begin the fight?"
21368Fire my rifle-- make a fire-- ride off to try and find them?"
21368For now came the question-- would the firing of their friends check the Apaches, or would they press on in deadly strife to the bitter end?
21368Got him again?"
21368Had n''t we better stop and drive them back, Beaver, and let the greasers carry away the fish?"
21368Have we not silver enough to buy all the cattle in the province?"
21368He shuddered, and struggled into a sitting position, then thoroughly comprehending after a few minutes what had passed:"Who saved me?"
21368Here I pause for a few moments as I say-- Shall I describe what the Doctor did to save the Indian''s life, or shall I hold my hand?
21368His heart?"
21368How could the mining adventure be carried on without?"
21368How''s that?"
21368Hurt me?
21368I only say you can see them, ca n''t you?"
21368I say, do you think it safe for him to go with you?"
21368I say, have you fired yet?"
21368I say, how could you tell in the dark that it was the Beaver?"
21368I think he may get up, Doctor, eh?"
21368Is it a vein?"
21368Is it a waggon- train?
21368Is it ridiculous to suppose such a thing?
21368Is this place natural or dug out?"
21368Is your rifle all right?"
21368Joses, can you be a true prophet?"
21368Just then there was a soft tapping at the door, and a voice said--"Are you ready to come, Bart?
21368May I begin to shoot?"
21368Now then, am I to try and cure it?
21368Now then, have you made up your minds?
21368Now what''s to be done?"
21368Now, Beaver, what do you say?"
21368Now, then, will you get down and walk up to''em, or must I?"
21368Now, then, will you go?"
21368Of course: why not?
21368Our men?"
21368Sam and Juan?
21368Same time, how do we know they will?
21368Sha n''t I?"
21368Shall I?
21368Shall we come in the morning and examine this place, sir?"
21368So soon?"
21368The Spaniards?"
21368Then in a low voice,"Suppose it should not prove to be silver after all?"
21368There was a rich silver mine out in the plains?
21368They lit the fire on purpose to warm themselves; and where do you think they lit it?"
21368They''ll crawl through the grass, and from stone to stone in the dark there, and who''s to see''em?
21368Was it an enemy?"
21368Well, come along; we are wasting time, but do you think rattlesnakes are as dangerous as people say?"
21368Well, my young Indian runner,"said the governor, laughing,"are you ready for another skirmish?"
21368Well, now then,"he added, as Bart, recovered himself after an ineffectual thrust,"what ought that young man to have done, Master Bart?"
21368What does it matter about your clothes?"
21368What good would it do him to bring down one or even a dozen among the hundreds coming on, all thirsting for their blood?
21368What shall I do?
21368What was that?"
21368What would the Doctor, who had given him so many lessons on presence of mind, coolness in danger, and the like?
21368What would you like me to do?"
21368What''s he bounding ashore for like that?"
21368What''s that?"
21368What''s the good of a view that goes so far you ca n''t see it?
21368What, dug out?"
21368Where could they get the stuff?"
21368Where is Joses?"
21368Where shall I aim at?
21368Where was Joses?
21368Where were the Indians?
21368Where were the hundreds of buffalo that had been thundering over the plain?
21368Where''s the harm?
21368Which way am I to look?"
21368Who can tell when the Apache will come and strike?
21368Who fired the shot as finished her?
21368Who''s to take care of the camp if you go away?"
21368Who?
21368Why are you here?"
21368Why did he not go and see?"
21368Why does not Joses leave them?
21368Why have you come-- to give us warning?"
21368Why should not he do something of the kind?
21368Why, do you not understand that this mine will want working, and that we must have a large number of men here?
21368Will the young chief Bart go?"
21368Would Joses be ready?
21368Would n''t they be just as well without?"
21368Would the Doctor give their enemies a salutation?
21368Would the others stop and defend him, or would they gallop away to save their own lives?
21368Would they hear them on the rocks?
21368Would they never reach the gateway?
21368You do n''t think you could carry him back like a baby?"
21368You wo n''t send out no more?"
21368You''ll trust me, wo n''t you?"
21368are you tired, my lad?"
21368been in after the fish?"
21368cried the Doctor;"but how could he tell?"
21368ejaculated the Doctor;"what''s that?"
21368he cried;"what is wrong?"
21368my young friend,"exclaimed the governor,"how are you now?"
21368nasty?
21368said Bart,"panthers?"
21368said Joses gruffly, for he had volunteered no information,"see anything?"
21368said the Doctor, in a quick low decisive tone;"is it darker now?"
21368that piping noise?"
21368to an Indian?
21368what good would it do?
21368what news?"
21368what would Maude think of him for being such a coward?
21368what''s that mean?"
21368what, do you want to have the Injuns back on us?"
21368where?"
21368who was it?
2285A moral obligation?
2285ARE you a fighter, then?
2285About what?
2285Am I being told that I am to be the happiest pirate alive?
2285Am I out of the witness- box?
2285Am I to understand that I am being invited to a theological discussion of a heavenly salad concocted by Father Alphonse?
2285Am I to understand that you terminate our engagement?
2285Am I your enemy? 2285 Am I?"
2285And capable?
2285And does that in turn imply tragedy-- for the loser?
2285And every man is to be a law unto himself?
2285And from your angle of observation?
2285And have you?
2285And his?
2285And how long are you going to stay?
2285And if you do n''t get through?
2285And the lady? 2285 And the verdict?"
2285And what did Mr. Harley say?
2285And who is to be the senator?
2285And yet there are rules of the game to be observed, are n''t there? 2285 And you are not?"
2285And you''re sure that you''re on the road to true success?
2285And you-- what do you read?
2285And you?
2285Are we really snow- bound? 2285 Are you a reporter?"
2285Are you alone?
2285Are you glad?
2285Are you going to lie down and quit, you old loafer? 2285 Are you sure?"
2285Are you unhurt, Aline?
2285At how much do you estimate Mrs. Harley''s life?
2285But I ought not to tell you yet, ought I?
2285But a rogue?
2285But do YOU think so-- down in the bottom of your heart?
2285But the cost to you-- won''t it be enormous?
2285But when they know you have bought it?
2285But why? 2285 But you are not afraid?"
2285But-- do you love him?
2285Ca n''t make up your mind whether I come in?
2285Can a man get over being drunk in five minutes? 2285 Can you arrange to allow my resignation to take effect as soon as possible?
2285Did I make any indiscreet admissions?
2285Did I save you?
2285Did it ever occur to you, Waring, that it might pay to make this a limited round contest? 2285 Did it seem long?"
2285Did n''t Johnson and Leroy drop fortunes on that expectation?
2285Did n''t he? 2285 Did they mean to kill them?"
2285Did you say you had met the enemy and won his mine?
2285Did you say-- CUFFED him?
2285Do I look frightened?
2285Do I look like a man to desert a woman on a snow- trail? 2285 Do n''t you know that the sins of the fathers are to descend upon their children even to the third and fourth generation?
2285Do n''t you see any human, lovable things in him?
2285Do n''t you think it could be explained to these writers? 2285 Do n''t you think we had better consider that answer before we send it, Waring?"
2285Do they say bad things about you, too?
2285Do they? 2285 Do you call it desertion to leave a raging madman in a sinking boat after you have urged him to seek the safety of another ship?"
2285Do you know much about the difficulty between Mr. Harley and Mr. Ridgway? 2285 Do you know where the switch is?"
2285Do you know, I do n''t think we think of death in the right way? 2285 Do you mean that I should withdraw from the senatorial race?"
2285Do you mean that YOU wo n''t support me, seh?
2285Do you mean that you are engaged to him-- that you are going to marry Mr. Ridgway-- without caring for him?
2285Do you think I do n''t know any lawbreakers except those I have met in this State? 2285 Do you think her handsomer?"
2285Do you think that likely?
2285Do you think you have been quite fair to me, Virginia?
2285Does Mr. Harley agree with you? 2285 Does he owe you money?"
2285Does n''t it look like that to you?
2285Does n''t that seem to imply that I''m afraid to leave?
2285Er-- what''s that you say?
2285First, then, when did you reach the city?
2285For his good?
2285For how long has your engagement with Mr. Ridgway been broken, may I ask?
2285Has Mr. Ridgway been pointing out to you the places of interest?
2285Has the new campaign of the war begun yet?
2285Have I kept you waiting?
2285Have you seen him yourself?
2285Have you seen the infamous libel in that scurrilous sheet of the gutters the Herald?
2285He asked you-- to tell me this about him?
2285His tenderness, his unselfishness, his consideration for others-- did you ever know anybody like him for these things?
2285His weakest spot?
2285His wife?
2285How can you do this, sir?
2285How did you do it? 2285 How did you ever come to do it?"
2285How did you guess it first crack? 2285 How did you know?"
2285How is your patient?
2285How long will you be gone?
2285How''s your friend?
2285How?
2285How?
2285I ca n''t think who-- is he honest?
2285I did n''t say kicked, did I?
2285I do n''t reckon we need to quarrel about Simon Harley''s matrimonial affairs, do we?
2285I do n''t suppose you want to give me another week?
2285I do?
2285I must find out if you broke the engagement because you care for another man?
2285I suppose that is why you saved his life when the miners took him and were going to lynch him?
2285I suppose you are perfectly unscrupulous in a business way-- stop at nothing to gain your point?
2285I suppose you have any number of other friends here that will want you?
2285If you thought it worth while?
2285Is he at home?
2285Is he what his friends or what his enemies think him?
2285Is he?
2285Is it serious?
2285Is it-- have they-- do you mean the verdict?
2285Is it?
2285Is it?
2285Is n''t it rather-- loading the dice, to interfere with the courts?
2285Is n''t it splendid that he''s doing so well?
2285Is n''t that rather a good definition for a blizzard-- a greatly exaggerated storm?
2285Is n''t the judiciary supposed to be the final, incorruptible bulwark of the nation?
2285Is n''t there a philosophy current that we find in people what we look for in them? 2285 Is that a compliment?"
2285Is that a great victory for him?
2285Is that an alternative?
2285Is this a riddle?
2285Is this your verdict, gentlemen of the jury?
2285Just how?
2285May I ask why?
2285May I hope that my suffering has reached a period?
2285May I see him?
2285May n''t I give you a lift if you are going down- town?
2285Meaning Harley, Waring?
2285Meaning Yesler?
2285More charming?
2285More intellectual?
2285My personal obligation--"What obligation? 2285 My social duties?
2285No, you remind me of something a burglar once told me--"A what?
2285Not lovers?
2285Of a better disposition?
2285Oh, well, I''m dragged into the orbit of your greatness, am I not? 2285 Oh, you just went and came back, did you?"
2285On what?
2285One that will run well, popular enough to catch the public fancy?
2285Or Mr. Samuel Yesler?
2285Presentable?
2285Really?
2285Referring to the little problem of your future?
2285Seen to- day''s paper, Waring? 2285 Shall I congratulate him?"
2285Shall I see Mr. Mott for you and send him here? 2285 Shall I send for him?"
2285Shall we read another psalm, my dear? 2285 Shall we?"
2285She told you that, too, did she?
2285She''s worth a good deal of seeing, do n''t you think?
2285So I''m to get burnt drawing your chestnuts out of the fire, am I? 2285 So Mr. Jannyn thinks it is impossible, does he?"
2285So you think morality is for old women?
2285So you wo n''t give me a week?
2285That I am going to win?
2285The fairy prince, five minutes too late?
2285The man he is?
2285The question is, how many people are going to believe you?
2285Then who is it to be?
2285Then you wo n''t invest?
2285They do n''t say I am a quitter, do they?
2285This is where Mr. Pelton lives, is it not?
2285To young ladies-- like Miss Virginia?
2285True that you picked Simon Harley''s wife out of a snow- drift and kicked him around?
2285Want to sell out, Steve?
2285Waring Ridgway; and yours?
2285Was n''t he right?
2285Was n''t it awful? 2285 Was n''t it fortunate that we were up?"
2285Well, is it?
2285Well, then?
2285Well?
2285What about Ward? 2285 What are you going to do?"
2285What do you propose to do?
2285What do you say to going out to lunch with me? 2285 What have I done for him?
2285What is it all about?
2285What is it this time-- poker?
2285What is it, Waring?
2285What is it, Waring?
2285What is it? 2285 What is it?
2285What part of it? 2285 What sort of a proposition?"
2285What''s the matter? 2285 What''s up, anyhow?
2285What?
2285When did you find this out?
2285When the Taurus begins producing?
2285Where did you get hold of this fairy- tale?
2285Where should I have been if you had not found me?
2285Wherefore this long communion with nature, my captain?
2285Which libel? 2285 Who is it, Norma?"
2285Who is it?
2285Who, then?
2285Why must n''t I?
2285Why should she? 2285 Why-- what do you mean?"
2285Why?
2285Why?
2285Will you not go on with your reading? 2285 Without ore?"
2285Would n''t I naturally be prejudiced?
2285Would you choose ruin?
2285Would you like to know why Mrs. Harley put her fortune at my command?
2285You are back-- already,she cried, her tear?
2285You are going to compromise with him?
2285You believe in salvation by works?
2285You ca n''t get away from business even for an hour, can you?
2285You came on business, I suppose?
2285You know Mr. Ridgway pretty well, do n''t you?
2285You mean?
2285You realize that this may mean murder, Mr. Harley? 2285 You received my card?"
2285You think it is n''t wise?
2285You wo n''t mind my asking these questions? 2285 You would imply?"
2285You would then have had me stoop to any petty meanness to win, no matter how contemptible?
2285You''d rather I did n''t see her at all?
2285You''ll stand by me, no matter what happens?
2285You''re a fine Christian, are n''t you?
2285You''re going to ride, I reckon?
2285You''re still of the same mind, are you?
2285You''re what they call a buccaneer of business, are n''t you?
2285You''ve heard, then, that we got the whole party in time?
2285You-- here?
2285Your intention to follow this course is irrevocable?
2285Your note? 2285 A voice from the landing above demanded quickly,Who are you, sir?"
2285Am I to blame because you wrote incriminating letters?"
2285And Steve-- did Harley arrive on the eight- thirty this morning?"
2285And do you think I may begin to be happy again?"
2285And how does Mr. Hobart like being senator?"
2285And is he really engaged to that sweet little school- teacher?
2285And what is he but a robber?
2285And when you say bold enough, why not be plain and say unscrupulous enough?"
2285And who is to be senator?
2285Anybody hurt?
2285Are n''t you afraid of blistering these little hands?"
2285Are n''t you ashamed of yourself?"
2285Are there enough people that appreciate this kind of thing in Mesa to support it?"
2285Are you free men?
2285Are you going to throw me down, seh?"
2285Business is n''t really like war, is it?"
2285But if you think this of him why--""Why do I marry him?
2285But we''ll show him, wo n''t we?
2285But what happened?
2285But why?
2285By what magic did you bring it about?
2285Can you get me through to the railroad in time to catch the Limited?"
2285Can you give me back my reputation, my future?
2285Can you give us back our home, our comfort, our peace of mind?"
2285Can you open it?"
2285Can you reach that salt, Sam?"
2285Can you take away the shame that has come upon my wife, and that my children will have to bear in the years to come?
2285Certain specific things he knew she had not revealed, but had she let her guess the situation between them?
2285Could n''t you send a man to watch the rest of the night out in the house?"
2285Did I hurt you very much?"
2285Did he bring her out here with him for the honeymoon?"
2285Did you find the machine all right?"
2285Did you get my note?"
2285Did you send one?"
2285Do n''t you remember?
2285Do n''t you think that will make a difference, Waring?"
2285Do you dispense with a conscience entirely?"
2285Do you know how she stood it?"
2285Do you reckon we could deliver?"
2285Do you say peace or war?"
2285Do you understand?
2285Do you want I should speak of it to Landor and James?"
2285Does he feel it?"
2285Does n''t all the world love a lover?"
2285Does she look like them?"
2285Driven out, you say?
2285Eaton nodded a promise, and, when he could find his voice, demanded:"Where are you taking me?"
2285Eaton?"
2285Followed our men through into our tunnel?
2285For what will you sell?"
2285Had he not declared an eight- hour day, and was not the trust almost ready to do this also, forced by the impetus his example had given the unions?
2285Had he not maintained the standard of wages and forced the Consolidated to do the same?
2285Had he not spent the night in a chaotic agony of renunciation?
2285Had she not promised never to forget, and was there not a deeper promise in her wistful eyes that the years could not wipe out?
2285Had they not struggled, heart beating against heart, with the breath of death icing them, and come out alive?
2285Harley?"
2285Has he no mines upon which we can retaliate?"
2285Have n''t you discovered, man, that the bold course is always the safe one?
2285Have you seen my hat- brush anywhere?"
2285Have you?
2285Her eyes asked of Ridgway:"Does she know?"
2285How can he help getting a warped notion of things?
2285How could her inexperience know that she might as well have tried to induce the lion and the lamb to lie down together peaceably?
2285How could she, from her glass house, throw stones at a loveless marriage?
2285How did he happen to come here?
2285How do I know you would n''t tread on me?"
2285How does he impress you?"
2285How far''s the ranch now?"
2285How is Virginia, and Mrs. Mott, and Mr. Yesler?
2285How should they know in that moment when their souls reached toward each other that the wisdom of the ages had decreed their yearning futile?
2285How would that do for a heading?"
2285I am sure if people knew how good he is-- But how can they know when the newspapers are so full of falsehoods about him?
2285I could n''t ask Mr. Ridgway to introduce me, could I?"
2285I mean about the mines-- the Sherman Bell, I think they called it?"
2285I said to him:''Hell, Billy, what''s a friend for?''
2285I shall not see you again before I go, then?"
2285I suppose it does n''t seem at all uncanny to you?"
2285I suppose you always get what you want very badly?"
2285I wonder if I should have any chance if I were to tell you that I love you?"
2285If one man could so cripple the octopus, what could the best blood of the State, standing together, not accomplish?
2285If you want to know, why do n''t you attend the joint session to- day?
2285Is he as good a miner underground as he is in the courts?"
2285Is he very ill?"
2285Is he what his friends proclaim him-- the generous- hearted independent fighting against trust domination?
2285Is it Mr. Eaton?
2285Is it Waring?"
2285Is it always so bad?"
2285Is it enough, seh?"
2285Is it my fault you bungled the thing and left evidence against you?
2285Is that it?"
2285Is that not good?"
2285Is that not true?"
2285Is that satisfactory?"
2285Mr. Ridgway, may I count you with us?
2285Must she restrain her natural impulses to friendliness?
2285Must we go on half- rations?"
2285Now, sir, do you know what provisions we have outside of those you have just brought?"
2285On the ground?"
2285Or are you tired?"
2285Or do you wear the collar of the Consolidated, the yoke of Waring Ridgway?
2285Or is he merely an audacious ore- thief, as his enemies say?
2285Ought she to hold herself more in reserve toward him?
2285P. S.--Have you forgotten, sir, that I have not seen you since that terrible blizzard and your dreadful imprisonment in Fort Salvation?
2285Pelton?"
2285Perhaps if you happen to be going that way?"
2285Ridgway?"
2285Ridgway?"
2285Ridgway?"
2285That a clash can not possibly be avoided if you pursue this course?"
2285The folks round that neighborhood may not have any frills, but--""Are you offering Tom the place as manager?"
2285Then coolly:"Shall we wait till you make up your mind before announcing the engagement?"
2285Then testily:"''Are not my days few?
2285There was a moment of tense waiting before the judge asked:"Gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict?"
2285This you, Steve?
2285Too sick to be seen?
2285Was he, too, about to be"caught in the coil of a God''s romances,"or was he merely playing on the vibrating strings of an untaught heart?
2285Was n''t Mr. Yesler magnificent?"
2285Was n''t that it?"
2285Was their world not contracted to a space ten feet by twelve, shut in from every other planet by an illimitable stretch of storm?
2285Well, why not?
2285What can you do with it?"
2285What did he mean?"
2285What do you want with it if the property is no good?"
2285What for in particular?
2285What for?"
2285What right has an old man like that with one foot in the grave to pick out a child and marry her?
2285What was the open- sesame you used as a countersign to make the keeper of the gate unbolt?"
2285What''s this clean through a fall house- cleaning?
2285What''s this rolled up in tissue- paper?
2285When Virginia spoke, it was to ask abruptly:"Is it really his mine?"
2285When?
2285When?"
2285Where COULD you have seen him?"
2285Who did you say wrote it?"
2285Who is there?"
2285Who?"
2285Why are you here?"
2285Why could she not make light talk as she had been wo nt to do with Waring Ridgway?
2285Why did they want to hurt you?"
2285Why had Ridgway rejected the overtures of this colossus of finance?
2285Why not?"
2285Why was I not taught things, what every girl has a right to know-- until life teaches me-- too late?"
2285Why were you so sure?"
2285Will you be my wife?"
2285Will you explain to me, my dear, why picturesque rascality is so much more likable than humdrum virtue?"
2285With his wife?"
2285Yesler?"
2285Yesler?"
2285You call me traitor, but traitor to what?
2285You do n''t think yourself scrupulous, do you?"
2285You will pardon me if what I say seems presumptuous?"
2285You''re going to stand back and let my career be sacrificed, are you?
2285why had he not known it would be like this?
20305A gauntlet? 20305 Am I to understand, colonel, that you refuse me permission to return to Mr. Ray in such an emergency as this?"
20305And have you telegraphed to Fort Fetterman? 20305 And how did he happen to be in the army?"
20305And there was n''t another thereabouts?
20305And was n''t it Mr. Ray who saved you when your horse was running away?
20305And what did I hear you call me?
20305And where is Mr. Ray? 20305 And you know whom he suspects?"
20305And you saw no one else at all?
20305And you still refuse to tell what your interview was about?
20305And_ are_ they so delightfully situated?
20305Any mail, Gracie?
20305Are you hit?
20305But as to Truscott''s going, what do you think, Ray?
20305But did you not know that Captain Truscott''s ventures were coming out wonderfully well?
20305But how-- but why, Grace? 20305 But what about bail, Mr. Blake?
20305But where have you been? 20305 But where is she from?
20305Captain,whispers Dana,"have you been awake all the time?"
20305Could I be gone for a couple of hours, sir, if there''s nothing else the lootenant wants?
20305Did he?
20305Did n''t Mrs. Turner say he was very attentive to her in Arizona, and that she threw him over for Captain Truscott?
20305Did you ever know such a rattlepate?
20305Did you ever see a lovelier expression in a woman''s face?
20305Did you explain to him, or rather did he ask why Mrs. Truscott could not receive his letter?
20305Did you not read much of this in my letter?
20305Did you say you never saw her husband?
20305Did you see?
20305Do you hear? 20305 Do you know how much ammunition we have left?"
20305Do you know that pistol, sir? 20305 Do you know, orderly?"
20305Do you remember the night at Sandy, Mrs. Truscott, the last scout we started out on, and how you came to see us off and wish me good luck?
20305Do you think of any place I have not mentioned where he would be apt to go?
20305Do you? 20305 Far away?"
20305Fort Fetterman? 20305 Got any spare Colts?"
20305Grace, was n''t Mr. Ray just a little bit in love with you once?
20305Happy, madam?
20305Has anything new been discovered,--have any steps been taken towards finding the murderer?
20305Has he said nothing-- nothing to indicate whom he suspects?
20305Have I startled you, Marion?
20305Have you anything from Mrs. Stannard later than the letter you spoke of this afternoon, major?
20305Have you heard anything?
20305Have you heard nothing,--no signal?
20305Have you-- have you heard anything about his being in any trouble, in anything likely to keep him from going with the regiment?
20305He could n''t well get to the regiment without going through here, could he?
20305He was hit twice, was he not?
20305He? 20305 How could I have come away without seeing my baby scholar?"
20305How did the letter come in, then? 20305 How is he?"
20305How long is it since you heard from her?
20305I say, do you know anything of Wolf''s desertion,--of its causes, of where he has probably gone?
20305I wonder if any other officer would be in such a hurry to risk his scalp in chasing the regiment? 20305 I''ve got you, Blake; what do I want of a doctor?"
20305If_ that_ does n''t knock the court- martial charges cold as a wedge, what will?
20305In heaven''s name, what has happened?
20305Is Mr. Ray in any trouble?
20305Is Mr.--Captain Truscott rich?
20305Is Mrs. Truscott ill?
20305Is it necessary for me to say how I value what you did and bore for Grace and me, Billy?
20305Is it so that Truscott comes here with his troop?
20305Is n''t that just too characteristic of Mr. Ray for anything?
20305Is n''t this Gleason''s tent?
20305It does seem a pity that Mr. Ray should have done so much to ruin his fine record, does it not, Miss Sanford?
20305Looks fine as silk, do n''t he?
20305Maidie, what does he say?
20305Mr. Blake, have you eaten a thing to- day?
20305Mr. Blake? 20305 Mr. Ray''s brother- in- law?"
20305Mr. Ray,said the colonel, abruptly,"do you know anything of the causes of Wolf''s desertion?"
20305Mr. Ray? 20305 Mrs. Turner?
20305None of those cartridges get through here_ this_ day anyhow; but how many do you suppose Mr.---- has sent up there already?
20305Now, is n''t that simply damnable?
20305Now, what on earth could have prompted him to go to Truscott''s looking like that?
20305Now,said Rallston,"why not let me be your banker?
20305Oh,_ is n''t_ that perfect? 20305 Ought we not to have gone-- I mean, ought I not to have gone?
20305Pardon me, Miss Blue- Eyes; but-- to whom did you speak?
20305Pleasant? 20305 Ray, what would you do if some one were to leave you a fortune?"
20305Ray, will you have a nip before you try it? 20305 Ride Dandy?"
20305Shall I read it, Gracie?
20305She is undeniably pretty and lady- like; but what else can any one say of her? 20305 She''s that handsome girl in the album that Grace had at Sandy, do n''t you know?
20305Still there? 20305 Sweet?
20305That? 20305 That?
20305The Autocrat of the Preakness Stable, mean you? 20305 The captain has not yet returned?"
20305There is the letter,he said;"do you want it or shall I burn it?"
20305Was Miss Sanford there?
20305Was there ever such an outrage? 20305 We all know how unequalled Mr. Truscott was; but then, were not the conditions very different, Mrs. Turner?
20305We?
20305Well, Mr. Ray, why_ should_ we send any?
20305Well, here we are, marching to- morrow, and where are your Ray and Truscott?
20305Well, shall we say to- morrow, then?
20305Well, well, well,_ did_ it nearly fighten its pessus, pessus life out with its horrid, awful, uggy beard? 20305 Well, what do you think it was?
20305What are these?
20305What can it mean, Mrs. Stannard? 20305 What can the charges be?
20305What did Truscott say about Crook''s fight with Crazy Horse?
20305What did he say about Grace?
20305What difference does it make to you, Rags?
20305What do you want to know?
20305What do_ you_ say, major?
20305What is it, Luce?
20305What is it, Mr. Gleason? 20305 What is it, sweet one?
20305What is it?
20305What is so rare as a day in June?
20305What letter?
20305What lieutenant?
20305What news do you get?
20305What on earth could that blacksmith mean by tugging out his shoe- nails?
20305What on earth do you want, Hogan?
20305What on earth shall we do, Billy?
20305What place, sir?
20305What possible reason can there be for silence, sir? 20305 What the dickens do you want it for to- night?"
20305What was the name of that droll creature who was here last April,--Drake? 20305 What was there to explain?
20305What''s he been doing now?
20305What-- must I say?
20305Where is he?
20305Where''s Green?
20305Which way, Dana?
20305Who may this swell be?
20305Who told you of it, Queenie?
20305Who''s got the time?
20305Who''s that?
20305Why did n''t he come? 20305 Why do you ask, Ray?"
20305Why no letter? 20305 Why not?"
20305Why would you decline my invitation?
20305Why, what can she want?
20305Why? 20305 Why?
20305Why?
20305Will you come and present me to the colonel? 20305 Will you say to Miss Sanford that I would greatly like to see her a few minutes?"
20305Will you stay with Grace?
20305Will you tell me why?
20305Wo n''t it be delightful to have them? 20305 Wolf,"said Ray,"have you written any letters to Mrs. Truscott since the one you left in her yard last week?"
20305Would the lootenant take care of this for me?
20305Yes; but-- what was it? 20305 You do not believe Ray guilty, do you?"
20305You will stay with us, wo n''t you?
20305You? 20305 You?"
20305_ Could_ you buy him?
20305_ What?_ Billy? 20305 _ What?_ Billy?
20305( No, fair reader, of course I do n''t mean you; but is it not just possible I may be right in saying so of Mrs.---- next door?)
20305Ah-- are you not coming in, Miss Sanford?"
20305Am I not yet''Will''to you?"
20305And did he abandon his devotions to Miss Sanford?
20305And now, free, hopeful, redeemed, what was there to wait for?
20305And was n''t Blake in a gale that morning?
20305And where is Mr. Ray?
20305And yet was it not Gleason''s unrequited attentions to our heroine that prompted much of the trouble?
20305Are you aware of the fact that Mr. Ray is quite a thing of the past?
20305At first she had been accustomed to trip in on tiptoe after a timid little knock and the query,"Do I disturb you, Jack dear?"
20305Attack them in the early morning far to the northwest?
20305Blake?"
20305Busy?
20305But in another minute, as a member of the guard ran by, Mrs. Stannard''s clear voice floated out on the night air,--"What is the matter, corporal?"
20305But is there_ no_ way?
20305But then, who could be braver in action, wiser in council, than he?
20305Ca n''t you telegraph to the regiment and have things stopped?"
20305Can I claim you in face of such an array of aspirants?"
20305Captain Truscott, what do you say?"
20305Could it be that he was going to head them off?
20305Could she have heard?
20305Could she have suspected?
20305Did any one else know?
20305Did n''t I tell you to take another hand?
20305Did n''t the captain have to go time and again just the same way in Arizona, and did n''t he always come back safely?
20305Did not the--th worship him to a man?
20305Did the lootenant tell ye how he dumped the quarthermasther in the creek?
20305Did you ever know such a reckless fellow?"
20305Did you ever see a lake on a hill before?
20305Did you hear about Ray''s message to him?"
20305Did you hear the K. O. W.''s[A] speech about her?
20305Did you suppose Mrs. Turner was possessed of all the information and would come to me with it?"
20305Do n''t you know?
20305Do n''t you know?
20305Do n''t you think we-- some of us ought to go and see if anything is the matter?"
20305Do you dream what a hero you are, I wonder?"
20305Do you fancy he will permit Mr. Ray, of all others, to be brought to trial without a friend to appear for him?"
20305Do you mean you want to go West and rejoin your regiment to do more of this Indian fighting?"
20305Do you realize that in addition to the other charges against you, you are laying yourself open to those of abetting desertion?"
20305Do you take it?"
20305Do you think any woman who deserves a thought could fail to glory in such a name as you have won?
20305Do_ I_ want to see the colonel?
20305Does the--th go?"
20305Eyes and lips and arms and breast were yearning for her, but, would she not be abashed at such a demonstration?
20305For years we have read of the Rockies, and is this possible?
20305Gleason?"
20305Gleason?"
20305Gleason?"
20305Gleason?"
20305Had any one heard?
20305Had not every other woman gushed over him and called him splendid and some of them"lovely,"while she had never yet dared speak of it at all?
20305Had you permission to leave the post?"
20305Has Ray slipped through, or-- have they caught him?
20305Has anything happened to Miss Sanford?"
20305Has there been an accident?
20305Have n''t I a right to?"
20305Have you heard nothing?"
20305Have you heard where Mr. Ray is?"
20305Have you not one little word for me?"
20305Have you seen Mr. Blake''s latest absurdity,--that slangy paraphrase of Dante at the club- room?"
20305Have you seen him?"
20305He must find words to thank her, but how could he without betraying all?
20305He returns like-- a-- the Bayard of old;_ the chevalier sans peur et-- et_----""_ Sans culotte?_"suggested Blake.
20305Her dress?
20305How came you to know anything of his private history, sir?"
20305How can I thank you enough, Gracie?
20305How could I tell you,"she broke forth impulsively,"how simply splendid I thought you-- both?"
20305How could an honest man say he regretted her going?
20305How could they exclude him at such a time?
20305How does the water get there?
20305How far is it to the prairie metropolis,--a mile and a half, you venture?
20305How is it that Hogan has him again?
20305How is it, Blake?"
20305How know you this?
20305How much had he?
20305How soon can he-- will he return here?"
20305How soon does he start?
20305How, indeed, should Mr.---- know?
20305I saw her but a moment;''twas----""You saw her?
20305I''m riding new colors; did n''t you know it?
20305If an officer does n''t_ have_ to go when his regiment is already in the field, how can your husband be required?"
20305If he were my horse, after what he has done,--after such a deed,--do you think I would let any one use him?"
20305If it were, where would be the use of heaven hereafter?
20305If you make it all safe, get word to mother that I did n''t do so badly in my first square tussel, will you?"
20305In this he was firm, and what other verdict could they arrive at?
20305Indeed, is not Mr.---- himself eager to go bail for the purchaser, since his profits are so high?
20305Indeed, was not that what Mrs. Whaling had been there to tell them already, with a simply maddening array of embellishments?
20305Is anything wrong with Jack?"
20305Is he here now?"
20305Is he wandering?
20305Is it fever already?
20305Is it money, or influence, or anything?
20305Is it true that Captain Truscott has a good deal of money now?"
20305Is it?
20305Is n''t it horrid?
20305Is she pretty?
20305Is the adjutant here?"
20305Is there anything I can do that will convey to you my appreciation of your course?"
20305Is there anything else you want?
20305Is woman to be held responsible for a row because more than one man falls in love with her?
20305It stands on a hill, does it not?
20305It was almost startling, yet-- why not?
20305It''s good to see you again; and so Dandy is here, too, is he?"
20305Just did n''t Mrs. Turner tell that interview-- with variations-- all over the garrison within twenty- four hours?
20305Just you keep up your grit, and we''ll do our level best, Dandy and I; wo n''t we, old boy?
20305Know?
20305Major Stannard, where would you locate Truscott''s command this morning?
20305Many a woman will refrain from attending the gayest of balls because her Strephon can not be there, but where is the woman who can resist a wedding?
20305May I ask if anything further has been done towards getting word back to the regiment?"
20305May I ask if he was wanted for anything especial?"
20305May I not take your hand?"
20305Mr. Billings said that?
20305Mr. Blake,_ ca n''t_ you find out from Mr. Warner what the trouble is,--what the charges are?"
20305Mrs. Stannard was to start by June 30,--why not go with her?
20305Mrs. Truscott stood silently looking after him a moment, then she turned:"Did you notice his hands, Marion?"
20305Mrs. Turner been here?"
20305Mrs. Turner?
20305Must I tell of that?
20305No sign would she give that the song was heard, but what woman would not have risked one peep?
20305Now, do you know he has been on any spree?"
20305Now, who on earth can this officer be?
20305Now, wo n''t I crow over him when he comes in to dinner?"
20305Peace, say you?
20305Poker?"
20305Pretty?
20305Ray, is it love?
20305Ray?"
20305Ray?"
20305Ray?"
20305Ray?"
20305Ray?"
20305See,--the dark blue?"
20305Shall I confess that your name is one I have envied for the last five years?
20305Shall we go in the parlor and light the lamps?"
20305Shall we stop and knock off the dust?"
20305Shall we try?"
20305She--_she_ had bought Dandy to give to him?
20305So soon, then?
20305So you heard nothing about this affair?"
20305Some one_ must_ go, and who can you send?"
20305Springs?
20305Stylish?
20305The only chance of what?
20305The outlet, you say?
20305Then the colonel''s voice was heard,--"That you, Stannard?
20305There was only one question, said Truscott,"Will Mr. Sanford consent?"
20305There were the ladies and they accosted him to know if anything were wrong,--if they had not better go to Mrs. Truscott?
20305They are out drilling or shooting, or something, all day long, and who knows but what they''ll all be ordered off somewhere the next minute?
20305They ca n''t tell Dandy''s tracks from their own then, do n''t you see?"
20305To whom consigned?
20305Truscott?"
20305Truscott?"
20305WHOSE GAUNTLET?
20305Was Mr. Ferris pleasant?"
20305Was any one so gallant, so noble, so gentle, so tender, true, faithful,--um- m- m,--sweet?
20305Was it likely that in that intervening month she should care to see much of Ray?
20305Was it not odd that you and he should each have received promotion just before marrying?
20305Was it possible the White Chief was going to beat them at their own tactics?
20305Was it-- are you vexed?"
20305Was not Indian fighting the most trying, hazardous, terrible of all warfares, and was not Jack pre- eminent as an Indian- fighter?
20305Was she pretty?
20305Was the widower bent on making the most of his time in an endeavor to fascinate the Eastern belle?
20305Were you going to pack it in the trunk?"
20305What can be the hurry?
20305What connection of the New Jersey Sanford?"
20305What could any one think but that she believed him guilty, and would have no communication with him?"
20305What could it mean?
20305What could that mean?
20305What devilish inspiration impelled the Forty- Niners to damn Monte San Pablo to go down to eternity as Bill Williams''Mountain?
20305What did I tell you?
20305What did it portend that Mrs. Stannard should have cut Mr. Gleason dead?
20305What difference does it make to him whether we''re ordered up to reinforce Crook?"
20305What do you say to that?"
20305What does it mean?
20305What good was there in borrowing trouble?
20305What had Miss Sanford to do with it?"
20305What is it, bully rook?"
20305What is that?"
20305What is the matter?"
20305What is there to warrant such flattering notice, Maidie mine?"
20305What makes me wonder is what she can want of Mr. Ray; what made_ him_ look so startled?"
20305What need you care for what a nervous woman thinks?"
20305What news for the--th?"
20305What officer or soldier ever wore one like that?"
20305What on earth are you shooting at, Mulligan?
20305What quarters did you choose?"
20305What supplies?
20305What time?
20305What was he appraised at?"
20305What was it like?"
20305What was she doing?
20305What was the secret of Mrs. Truscott''s evident uneasiness, if not agitation?
20305What was there to ask?"
20305What will Marion herself say when she hears of them as thus ruthlessly dragged to the bar of public opinion?
20305What will be said of our heroine, Marion, when these damaging particulars are brought to light?
20305What will the cold and unsympathetic and critical reader remark of the unmaidenly lack of reserve which prompted those last few lines?
20305What wonder that they could not fathom the secret of the tie that made Stannard and Truscott inseparable now?
20305What wonder was it that for days the regiment could talk of nothing but Ray?
20305What would people think-- or rather what would they say if they knew of that letter and its very comforting conclusion?
20305What would we do without her?
20305What you been drinking, Billy?
20305What''ll ye have, fellers?"
20305What''s Mr. Warner in full uniform for,--what can it mean?"
20305What''s an officer like, anyhow?"
20305What''s the use of my going back to Kentuck and being a worry to her?
20305What_ would_ the girls at Madame Reichard''s have said?
20305When did he get here, or how?"
20305When did you come?
20305When did you get it, Mrs. Stannard?
20305When does a woman look so like a stick as when her own arms hang straight down by her side while a lover''s are twining about her?
20305When were you there?"
20305When you coming?
20305When, when was Marion half so lovely?
20305When-- what was it?"
20305Where did you get this money, sir?"
20305Where is he that has done this so foul wrong?"
20305Where is it?"
20305Where is it?"
20305Where is the letter?"
20305Where was it?
20305Where was this before you put it with the things?"
20305Where''s the mate?"
20305Where-- how?"
20305Where-- when did he dare threaten that-- that angel?
20305Where?
20305Whiskey?
20305Who but a Yankee would swap the murky"Purgatoire"for Picketwire, and make Zumbro River of the Rivière des Ombres of brave old Père Marquette?
20305Who but a blackguard would think it?
20305Who could it be?
20305Who could this be?
20305Who dare asperse the sweet sincerity of feminine friendship?
20305Who gave him to me?"
20305Who has not read the story of the Little Horn?
20305Who in all that crowd could dream that Ray and Blake have vainly stormed the vestry door and found it locked?
20305Who in the old regiment had not leaped at its summons time and again?
20305Who in the--th would not?
20305Who is hurt this time?"
20305Who that saw it could doubt the forgiving nature of the gentler sex?
20305Who that was there will ever forget the scene,--the welcome those wellnigh hopeless fellows give it now?
20305Who was it to be?
20305Who was it your sister married?"
20305Who was it?
20305Who was the only person you ever saw wear a glove like that?"
20305Who will forget Benny Hodgson''s brave young face,--the pet, the pride of the whole regiment?
20305Who will forget McIntosh, striving to rally the rearmost, dragged from the saddle and hacked to death upon the sward?
20305Who''s your victim, Warner?"
20305Who_ could_ have done it?"
20305Whom could she call but him,--Mrs. Stannard and Marion being away?
20305Whom could she tell?
20305Whose is it?"
20305Why did n''t you tell me?"
20305Why did n''t you write?"
20305Why do you ask?"
20305Why is he not with his company?
20305Why is n''t he escorting them I wonder?
20305Why not claim his bride and a long leave of absence, and take her with him to see the dear old mother in Kentucky?
20305Why repeat it here?
20305Why should they be any different, any more frank in garrison than out of it?
20305Why start this evening?"
20305Why, metallic cartridges, of course, Winchester and Henry, for their magazine- rifles, do n''t you know?
20305Why?"
20305Why?"
20305Why?"
20305Why_ did n''t_ she come?
20305Will he ever forget her as she looked that night?
20305Will he ever forget the"Immortellen"?
20305Will the day ever come when the author of this will not realize in mournful retrospect what an ass he made of himself the twelvemonth previous?
20305Will you follow Ray and see?
20305Will you stop your everlasting nonsense and tell us about Truscott?
20305Will you take this to him from me?"
20305Will you try it, reader?--just you and I?
20305Will you?"
20305Would they not be with Jack in a fortnight?
20305You brought handcuffs, I suppose?"
20305You can not but see defects in her features, but who ever saw a more winning face?
20305You did n''t happen to notice where his letters were from, I suppose?"
20305You have my blessing, Billy, but--''Dost thou think because thou art virtuous There shall be no more cakes and ale?''
20305You say Wolf is an assumed name?"
20305You will come back and tell us what it is?"
20305You_ will_ go, wo n''t you?
20305_ Can_ she be sending Ray a note?
20305_ Could_ it be that the war was fought and won without him?
20305_ Gleason!_"There came from within a snort, as of one suddenly awakened, a sleepy yawn, an imbecile"Oh-- ah-- er-- who is it?"
20305_ Is_ it fancy?
20305_ Must_ he tell her to- night?
20305_ Tantà ¦ ne animis coelestibus irà ¦?_"If it was n''t Gleason, then, who was it?
20305_ Tantà ¦ ne animis coelestibus irà ¦?_"If it was n''t Gleason, then, who was it?
20305_ What_ did you say, Muldoon?
20305_ Who_ bought Dandy?
20305_ Would_ she be quite prepared for so rapturous a greeting as he longed to give her?
20305am I mad to- night?"
20305and how is communication kept up?"
20305and thin says she,''Now how much did they punish you on that court?''
20305ca n''t we go back and do it all over again?
20305delirious, delicious, delusive love, again?
20305does he mean that good- looking German?"
20305how many a time was the question asked,"What can have become of Custer?"
20305is she sweet- mannered as they say?"
20305may I ask you in, gentlemen?"
20305or, as that never- answered challenge comes:"If any man can show just cause why they may not lawfully be joined together?"
20305sings the poet, and where can a day in June be more beautiful than at this Highland Gate of the peerless Hudson?
20305this strange thing Blake had confessed to him?
20305though they knew she had a romantic streak in her, and was a worshipper of heroes?
20305was Mrs. Turner''s exclamation,"and somebody said you had been ill.""I?
20305was ever reveille so blessed?
20305was the way Mrs. Grace''s intensified thoughts would have found expression, had she dared, even to herself, to give them utterance?
20305was this a position, was this a force to be assailed by one regiment?
20305what can it be?"
20305what could it mean?
20305what have you against him?"
20305what of Miss Sanford''s visible annoyance?
20305why_ did n''t_ I have a military wedding?
20305yet how can the Indian Bureau know that Crazy Horse and Two Bears and Kicking Mule want to buy Mr.----''s bullets to kill his brother with?
28585''How can I go back?'' 28585 Ai n''t after anybody, then?"
28585Amada? 28585 Anything else?"
28585Are you strong enough? 28585 Are you?
28585But you?
28585But, Father, how could they be so sure that Mr. Mead killed him? 28585 Ca n''t I-- can''t Nick and me do anything?"
28585Ca n''t you- all pull through if we tote you out of here?
28585Can we make Muletown to- night?
28585Can you tell me where you saw him last?
28585Could he keep them off so that they would not attack him?
28585Coyotes?
28585Did God take her to Heaven?
28585Did Winters tell him what he''d done with the ore?
28585Did n''t you ever see her before? 28585 Did n''t you hear me say I do n''t do no travelin''on this road at night?
28585Did you bring him any bad news?
28585Did you have Will Whittaker''s body? 28585 Did you kill''em?"
28585Did you tell him about the wedding?
28585Do you know where it is?
28585Do you reckon it was in this canyon?
28585Do you think he will?
28585Do you think there is likely to be any violence this time?
28585Do you think you can find your way?
28585Do you- all mean to say that you drink this stuff, as sick as you are? 28585 Emerson, what''s the matter with you?"
28585Even if he was shot in the back?
28585For what is a woman who does not marry and bear children? 28585 Harry Gillam''s got it, has he?
28585Have n''t you got any in your pockets?
28585Have n''t you heard about Frenchy Delarue''s kid? 28585 Have them fellows over in Plumas been hatchin''out any more deviltry?"
28585Have they had any fights yet?
28585Have you had any fightin''yet with the Fillmore outfit?
28585Have you strength to go farther? 28585 How did it happen?"
28585How did you happen to get drunk, Nick?
28585How do you know it ca n''t?
28585How do you know it?
28585How do you know we ai n''t?
28585How long had you been in Muletown?
28585How''s Whittaker off for men? 28585 How''s things at the ranch, Emerson?"
28585I say, Emerson, is she straight?
28585I wonder,she said,"if I could ask you boys to do something for me while we are gone?"
28585I''low you''re right, Tommy, but ai n''t you on that horse that always bucks at double?
28585Is he dead?
28585Is she ill in Heaven?
28585Is she married yet?
28585Is that what you''ve been waitin''around the Fillmore ranch the last three weeks for? 28585 Is the queue all you want?"
28585Is this old Juan Garcia''s ranch?
28585Judge,he said,"what''s the matter with Emerson?
28585Little Paul Delarue?
28585Look here,he said,"what did you reckon would happen to any man who tried to rope me?
28585Miss Delarue?
28585Nick, do n''t you- all think we''d better say something over these fellows, too? 28585 Nick, what do you think would be Emerson''s judgment?"
28585Nick, what do you- all think would be Emerson''s judgment? 28585 Nick, you do n''t reckon there''s a cuss on this gold, do you?
28585No, I meant, do you think he will get drunk?
28585No? 28585 Say, Daisy, why have n''t I got a mamma, just like Janey?"
28585Say, Nick,he went on, lowering his voice to a hoarse whisper,"you- all do n''t think he was afraid, do you?"
28585Sit on him? 28585 Soon?"
28585Sure this is n''t h''alkali?
28585Sure, and what did I do it for?
28585That is what many are saying now-- why has he not been punished long before this? 28585 The two men-- what became of them?
28585Then everything is quiet down- town? 28585 Then why has n''t he been arrested and tried and-- punished?"
28585Think they''ll follow us?
28585Was it the two ornery scrubs we''re after?
28585Well, did this man tell you where he''d hid the dust?
28585Well, what are you going to do now? 28585 What are you doing here?"
28585What became of this chap and''is mine?
28585What can we- all do?
28585What did he say,Jim demanded,"and why did n''t he go after it himself?"
28585What did he want to do that for?
28585What did she go there for?
28585What did you- all say to him?
28585What do you mean, Emerson?
28585What do you mean?
28585What had he been talking about?
28585What in thunder was the matter with her then?
28585What is the use?
28585What made you so determined to have the thing, Nick?
28585What time was it when you lost him?
28585What was the matter? 28585 What was their lay?"
28585What''ll it be worth to me?
28585What''ll it cost?
28585What''s become of Billy Haney?
28585What''s become of his pretty daughter?
28585What''s happened?
28585What''s the matter with Colonel Whittaker?
28585What''s the matter? 28585 What''s the news at Plumas and out at Emerson''s?"
28585What''s up?
28585What? 28585 When I go to Heaven shall I see my mamma?"
28585When are we goin''to start after''em, Nick?
28585Where are the horses? 28585 Where are they?"
28585Where from?
28585Who are you?
28585Who killed you?
28585Who''s she?
28585Who? 28585 Whose?"
28585Why did n''t your chap go and''unt for it''imself?
28585Why not? 28585 Why should he propose to me if he does not wish to marry me?"
28585Will you keep the truce?
28585Will you let me pass?
28585Wo n''t she come out?
28585Would n''t her father let her have you?
28585You did n''t kill''em, stranger?
28585You do n''t mean to say that the Fillmore outfit is really tryin''to drive Emerson and the rest of them out of the Fernandez mountains?
28585You mean about my Chiny pigtail?
28585You want me, do you?
28585You wo n''t go to drinkin''?
28585You wo n''t surrender?
28585''But what can I say?''
28585''How can I explain?''
28585A BACHELOR HUSBAND Can a woman love two men at the same time?
28585After a time he broke abruptly into the talk with the question:"What is the name of these mountains?"
28585After breakfast the next morning Haney said:"Well, Mr. Wellesly, do you think you would like to go to El Paso to- morrow?"
28585Ah, señorita, it is good to love, is it not?
28585Ai n''t that a fine lay- out for a man to swallow that knows better?
28585Ai n''t you- all got some folks somewhere who ought to have this?
28585And let Emerson stay in jail all that time?
28585As the three men rode away Tuttle asked:"Emerson, did she really mean what she said about Nick''s frightening her?"
28585As they drained their glasses he exclaimed:"Oh, by the way, Nick, are you really in earnest about that fool suit you''ve filed against me?"
28585As they rode back Tuttle said:"You say that Emerson''s up to his ears in fight?
28585But do n''t you think we would save time if we were to turn around and travel the other way?"
28585But his great love came to his rescue and he blurted out:"Have you tried to do anything?"
28585But was it the wish of the señores to be seated and rest themselves from their travel and refresh themselves with a drink of cool water?
28585But what can we do?
28585But what can we do?
28585By the way, did one of you fellows stand beside me a long time yesterday, coaxing me to lie still?"
28585Can I sell you some of mine?"
28585Can you stand it?
28585Children always think Heaven is in the sky, do n''t they?
28585Did they do you up?"
28585Did they have any evidence?"
28585Did you ever hear of it?"
28585Did you think I''d let you- all drag me into camp at your horse''s tail?
28585Do I want to?
28585Do n''t you think so, my daughter?"
28585Do n''t you think we- all can make it together?"
28585Do n''t you want a ride?"
28585Do you believe Mr. Mead has killed Will Whittaker?"
28585Do you know them to be true?"
28585Do you reckon Emerson killed him?"
28585Do you see that''uge boulder up there, just above the narrow place in the canyon?
28585Do you think, after that, you- all can do any less than pretend you''re a man, and ever face yourself in the glass again without smashin''it?''
28585Do you want to come in?"
28585Do you want to fight?"
28585Do you want to ride with me?
28585Does he mean to have it out with Frenchy for the way he talked at that mass- meetin''?
28585Eh, pard?"
28585Goin''to stay?"
28585Got anybody that can shoot?"
28585Had n''t you better wait here?"
28585Held up?"
28585Hurt much?"
28585I don''t-- Emerson?"
28585I wonder-- if he-- looks at any one else that way?"
28585Is he sick?"
28585Is it not so?
28585May I go?"
28585May I take little Bye- Bye for a ride?"
28585Mead?"
28585Mead?"
28585Nick glanced inquiringly at Tom several times, and finally he spoke:"Say, Tommy, that was all right, I guess, was n''t it?"
28585Nick, what made you get that fool notion in your head that I did n''t have sand to get through?"
28585Nick, why did n''t he let us shoot?
28585Now, did you ever see such a pack of cowards start on a lynchin''bee?
28585Now, what do you want here?"
28585Say, Judge, what''s become of that John Chiny''s pigtail they say I cut off?"
28585See where the top of that pine tree comes up above the rocks, away down there, nearly to the divide?"
28585She scarcely heard him when he spoke again:"Heaven is up in the sky, ai n''t it, Daisy?"
28585Stampede on you?"
28585Still she did not speak, and he laid one hand on hers, where it rested on the table, and whispered softly,"Marguerite, do you love me?"
28585THE PHANTOM LOVER Have you not often heard of someone being in love with love rather than the person they believed the object of their affections?
28585That cattle business?"
28585The cattle?"
28585The engineer knew Ellhorn and he yelled back,"What for, Nick?"
28585The rider patted its neck with a buckskin gloved hand and spoke cheerily to the tired animal:"Hot and tired, ai n''t you, old fellow?
28585Then I went away again to find the other tomato can, and when I came back two men were here packin''out my sack of ore.""What did they look like?"
28585Then he called out:"Jim, you out here to buy some cattle?
28585Then maybe you''ve come to ask me if it''s goin''to rain?"
28585There is no more danger of trouble?"
28585They talked over the plan Ellhorn had proposed and when it was all arranged Tuttle asked,"Shall we tell the judge?"
28585Tuttle held his hands motionless in the air a moment longer as he said:"Any objection to my askin''who you are?"
28585Tuttle was the first to speak again:"What''s that scrub Wellesly doing out here?"
28585Well, now, what are you goin''to do about it?"
28585Wellesly?"
28585Wellesly?"
28585What can we do to convince''i m''e''s all right?"
28585What did you do it for?"
28585What had I better do about this business, Judge?"
28585What is the excitement all about?"
28585What''s happened?
28585What''s it about?
28585What''s your play?"
28585Where is my baby?"
28585Whittaker?"
28585Who is it and what''s his testimony?"
28585Who killed him?
28585Why did n''t you come straight over to my house and say so, like a man who was n''t afraid?
28585Why does n''t he ever say anything?
28585Will you come to the house and find out what she wants?"
28585Will you let me go and finish this quarrel afterward?"
28585You remember crossing that, surely?"
28585You want me, do you?
28585You will tell him that, will you not, señorita?
28585You- all do n''t reckon anything will happen to us, or to Emerson, if we take it?"
28585and what do you- all take me for, anyway?"
28585she argued with herself,"and why should he want to marry me if he does not love me?
2070''Air you Jean Isbel, son of ole Gass Isbel?'' 2070 ''Counterfeit?
2070''Who saw me?'' 2070 ''Why was n''t I smart?''

2070... What kind of a game do you think you can play with me?"
2070... What you mean, girl, runnin''like a streak right down on us?
2070... What''ll become of all the women?
2070... Who did kill my father?"
2070Aboot his father''s range an''water?
2070After all, was it not merely an accident?
2070Ai n''t this a store?
2070Ai n''t y''u a hoss tracker thet rustlers cain''t fool?
2070Ai n''t y''u a plumb dead shot?
2070Ai n''t y''u an Injun, Jean Isbel?
2070Ai n''t y''u wuss''ern a grizzly bear in a rough- an''-tumble?
2070An''Antonio''s gone.... Now, honest, Ellen, did n''t y''u heah rifle shots off somewhere?"
2070An''Bill an''Guy?"
2070An''how do y''u account for layin''me out with every dirty name y''u could give tongue to?"
2070An''partickler aboot, sheep?"
2070An''what for?"
2070An''where''s Queen?"
2070An''you, Jean, where''s your girl?
2070And why not?
2070Any truth in that?"
2070Are You well, dad, an''all right?"
2070Are n''t y''u takin''a terrible chance?"
2070Are y''u cut?
2070Ask him?"
2070Besides, if she had wanted to run off from Colter, where could she go?
2070Between whom?"
2070But could he lie there to hear-- to see-- when he had a knife and an arm?
2070But how much longer are yu goin''to be like this heah?"
2070But thet was only natural, considerin''--""What?"
2070But what did it matter who was to blame for the Jorth- Isbel feud?
2070But what if you throwed your sheep round my range an''sheeped off the grass so my cattle would hev to move or starve?"
2070But what the hell CAN we do?"
2070But what was the vague sense of all not being well with him-- the essence of a faint regret-- the insistence of a hovering shadow?
2070But would n''t you hev a queer idee aboot it?"
2070By what monstrous motive had she done that?
2070By whom?
2070Ca n''t you feel the same about me?"
2070Ca n''t you see that?
2070Ca n''t you tell that?
2070Colter-- cain''t y''u see?"
2070Could he live up to the character that somehow had forestalled his advent in Grass Valley?
2070Could she escape her fate?
2070Could she ever forget?
2070Could these be friends of the Jorth crowd, on the way with warnings of the approach of the Isbels?
2070Could y''u?"
2070Dad, what was the idea askin''me to pack out an arsenal?"
2070Did Bill know what Blue knew?
2070Did Colter mean what Daggs had always meant?
2070Did he say anythin''about what he an''the rest of them are goin''to do?"
2070Did n''t Jean find the black hoss up at Jorth''s ranch?"
2070Did they sense that their father would never come back?
2070Did you find it?"
2070Do y''u heah that?
2070Do you Isbels want to be killed like sheep?"
2070Do you?"
2070Ellen did not return his greeting, but queried, almost breathlessly,"Did y''u come by our ranch?"
2070First off, what did Jim Blaisdell tell you?"
2070Had Gaston Isbel truly and dishonestly started her father on his downhill road?
2070Had he become infatuated, all in a day, with this Ellen Jorth?
2070Had he fallen?
2070Had he met her only that morning?
2070Had not the Ellen Jorth incident ended?
2070Had she reached out to clasp him?
2070Had they lied?
2070Has he any children?"
2070Have any of you a word to say in Ellen Jorth''s defense?
2070Have yu got any hay for the hosses?"
2070He might kill y''u and-- then where would I be?"
2070He never lived heah.... An''my sister Ann said-- he got sweet on y''u.... Now did he?"
2070Hev you any relatives away from hyar thet you could go to till this fight''s over?"
2070How aboot that?"
2070How aboot that?"
2070How aboot thet?''
2070How about Jorth?
2070How can a novel be stirring and thrilling, as were those times, unless it be full of sensation?
2070How can the truth be told about the pioneering of the West if the struggle, the fight, the blood be left out?
2070How could it happen?
2070How strange that the little ones seemed to realize the meaning of this good- by?
2070Hussy?
2070I ca n''t say the meetin''was not interestin'', at least to me.... Will you tell me what you know about her?"
2070I expect him back soon.... Did y''u come to see him?"
2070I meant only hevn''t you been, say, sort of-- careless?"
2070I met you... fell in love with you in a flash-- though I never knew it till after.... Why do you hate me so terribly?"
2070I must stick to Dad.... or kill myself?"
2070I said so, did n''t I?"
2070I seen him nount his horse an''ride away.... Now, girl, what hev you to say?"
2070I wonder, Colter-- did y''u ever have a home-- a mother-- a sister-- much less a sweetheart?"
2070I''m lost.... What does it matter?
2070I--""Tad, how''s your hurt?"
2070If I thought so, would I want to see you again?"
2070If nature had not failed her, had God failed her?
2070If she had done sore injury to Isbel what bad she done to herself?
2070Is he daid?"
2070Is n''t there something I can do?"
2070Is that all?"
2070Jorth will have some of these fellows.... Now, are we goin''to wait to be sheeped off our range an''to be murdered from ambush?"
2070Just to be born, just to suffer, just to die-- could that be all?
2070Loved her?
2070Me?"
2070Meetin''me in the woods?"
2070Must she decay there like one of these rotting logs?
2070Must she forever be repulsing these rude men among whom her lot was cast?
2070My sister?
2070News?"
2070Now does n''t he?"
2070Say,''Uncle Jean, what did you fetch us?''
2070She might be crushed and destroyed by life, but was there not something beyond?
2070She rose and asked,"Where can I sleep?"
2070Shore my pride made me a fool.... An''now have I any choice to make?
2070Shore you ai n''t goin''to say good mawnin''to this heah bad lot?"
2070So y''u wish Jean Isbel would hop in heah, do y''u?"
2070Solitude, the empty aisles of the forest, the far miles of lonely wilderness-- were these the added all?
2070Still-- was she glad, after all?
2070Strange, is n''t it?
2070Suppose y''u''re on the way to Grass Valley?"
2070The little ones?"
2070The silence then broke with a hoarse,"What''s thet?"
2070Then-- what did dad do?"
2070There was shore--""Who-- who was killed?"
2070Wal, what is it, then-- if I''m safe to ask?"
2070Wal, what''re you goin''to do aboot it?"
2070Wal, where was you headin''for before you got lost?"
2070Was he hiding?
2070Was he jealous of the men who had the privilege of her kisses?
2070Was he not faithless to his father?
2070Was he thinking of the miserable battle his father had summoned him to lead-- of what it would cost-- of its useless pain and hatred?
2070Was it an omen?
2070Was it not a sudden transition of her nature to the dominance of hate?
2070Was it only a day since he had met Ellen Jorth?
2070Was it the situation that struck her with a foreboding perplexity or was her intuition steeling her against this man?
2070Was it too late?
2070Was she riding to escape from herself?
2070Was that what I come out heah for?"
2070Was the row in Greaves''s barroom aboot sheep?"
2070Was there no end to this gulf of despair?
2070Was your mother decent?
2070Was your sister decent?
2070Well, who''s we?"
2070Were they mistaken in the canyon?
2070Whad''d you do, Jean?"
2070What ailed her?
2070What could they mean?
2070What could this one be?
2070What could, they mean?
2070What did he want of her?
2070What did it matter?
2070What did old Isbel have in his mind?
2070What did she care what it contained?
2070What did you do?"
2070What do I care what y''u believe?"
2070What do y''u want heah?"
2070What else on earth can we do?"
2070What good, what help, Jean wondered, could the cold, sweet, granite water, so dear to woodsmen and wild creatures, do this wounded, hunted rustler?
2070What had happened to her?
2070What had made all the difference?
2070What had she done that day?
2070What had she learned?
2070What had she to hide from Jean Isbel?
2070What had that star to do with hell?
2070What if he admired her?
2070What lay before him?
2070What mattered all else?
2070What might they mean to poor, ragged, untidy, beautiful Ellen Jorth?
2070What then did it portend now?
2070What then?"
2070What was he goin''to do with it?"
2070What was her story?
2070What was in it?
2070What was the faint, deep, growing thrill that accompanied some of his thoughts?
2070What was the use?
2070What was there about Colter with which she must reckon?
2070What was this lying calm when there seemed to be a stone hammer at her heart?
2070What with?"
2070What would be left?
2070What''d he look like?"
2070What''d you think then?"
2070What''re y''u drivin''at, Uncle John?"
2070What''s a name, anyhow?
2070What''s his name, dad?
2070What, fer instance?, asked Isbel, quick an''sarcastic.
2070Where was Jean Isbel going?
2070Where was that splendid and terrible daring of the gunman?
2070Where were your herders an''cowboys?
2070Where you been, girl?"
2070Where''d y''u leave yours?"
2070Who is he?
2070Who saw it?
2070Who was she?
2070Who were they?
2070Who would ever think of Ellen Jorth?
2070Who''s stealin''''em?"
2070Why did he not wait in the open to fight and face the death he had meted?
2070Why had he come back?
2070Why had she not resented his action?
2070Why queer?
2070Why should he ponder?
2070Why should he remember?
2070Why should it not be pleasant to run across some one new-- some one strange in this heah wild country?"
2070Why''d you do thet, Jean?"
2070Why?
2070Will y''u?"
2070Will you tell me where my dad lives?"
2070Would it be a Jorth or an Isbel?
2070Would n''t it be better for us first to see if he crossed the canyon?
2070Would the dog yelp that way if the man was dead?
2070Would you be friends with her if you could?"
2070Y''u mean I could n''t do that now?"
2070Y''u''re from the coast?"
2070Yet was that all?
2070cain''t y''u tell a decent woman?
2070is there no other way?
2070she whispered in her distraction,"is there nothing left-- nothing at all?"
2070what''s the matter?"
10066A Negro in Milligan''s? 10066 A beaten trail?
10066A willing signature?
10066Ah, do n''t you see I''m serious?
10066Ah, do n''t you suppose that I know?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ah?
10066Ai n''t nobody been able to tip you off to him?
10066Ai n''t you seen that sign?
10066All I ask,he said,"is why you hounded my gang, if you was n''t after me?"
10066Amuse me? 10066 An adequate protector even against these celebrated gunmen who run the camp as you have already admitted?"
10066And Jack Landis?
10066And Landis is gone?
10066And Nick knows all about you?
10066And after you cleaned up my crowd, ai n''t it natural and good sense for you to go on and try to clean up on me?
10066And break him in two, eh? 10066 And did you really think it could be any other way?"
10066And he made no move at you?
10066And he''ll let Jack stay with the girl and her father?
10066And how carried to the litter?
10066And if he is n''t there, will you give me your word that you wo n''t hunt him out afterward?
10066And in the next minute?
10066And she''s worth even this?
10066And that proved?
10066And that was why you pushed me away when I kissed you a little while ago?
10066And that?
10066And that?
10066And the girl?
10066And the work?
10066And then the mines?
10066And there is no other way out of this disagreeable necessity?
10066And what are you doing in here?
10066And what do you want?
10066And what if I fail to bring over Jack Landis with the sight of Lou?
10066And what might you be doing around these parts?
10066And what will be in Lebrun''s?
10066And who began it, then? 10066 And who''s Donnegan?"
10066And why dangerous?
10066And why? 10066 And why?"
10066And you do n''t believe him?
10066And you''re bothered about speaking to him of me?
10066Are you afraid?
10066Are you done?
10066Are you going to sit here?
10066Are you ready?
10066Are you serious?
10066Are you talking to me?
10066Are you the fellow who turned back my man?
10066Are you trying to mystify me?
10066Are you wanting to make trouble for her with the colonel? 10066 As a friend, Joe?"
10066Besides, for a young fellow like you, with your agility, what is eight miles? 10066 Bring him away from Lebrun?
10066Bring him here,said Donnegan with indescribable bitterness,"so that she may pity his wounds?
10066Business? 10066 But are you sure?"
10066But how are you going to work it?
10066But how could he be moved?
10066But how has he harmed you?
10066But how,pondered Donnegan,"can I be working for Lord Nick when I sign up to work under Jack Landis?"
10066But talkin''aside, suppose he was to meet up with Lord Nick?
10066But this sober truth of mine--"Well?
10066But what convinced you that I wished to keep you here?
10066But what''s the trouble, Nelly?
10066But where-- Landis-- Donnegan, what devil is in your eye?
10066But why,with gathering heat,"could n''t you help me to do the thing I ca n''t do alone?
10066But you see?
10066But,said Donnegan,"how-- that chair-- how in the world have you come here?"
10066By fighting?
10066By the way, what did he want to see you about?
10066Ca n''t you guess, Jack?
10066Ca n''t you put yourself in my place, Joe? 10066 Can you ask me?
10066Can you ask me?
10066Can you control her? 10066 D''you mean that?"
10066D''you really like him, Nelly?
10066D''you think you can fix me with a buck for a job like this? 10066 Did I hunt him up, I ask you?
10066Did he--"Did he bluff me out?
10066Did you fix him after he left you?
10066Did you listen at the door when Nick was here?
10066Did you see?
10066Did you send for me?
10066Did you tell her that?
10066Do I have to confess even that?
10066Do n''t I?
10066Do n''t the whole road know that I''m after you and you after me?
10066Do n''t you know me? 10066 Do n''t you know this joint is for white folks?"
10066Do n''t you see that I mean it?
10066Do n''t you see,said Donnegan,"that I ca n''t stop now?"
10066Do n''t you suppose I''ve known?
10066Do they say that?
10066Do you ask me to hurt him like this?
10066Do you call me Donnegan?
10066Do you call me by that name?
10066Do you know that you frighten me?
10066Do you know what they''re whispering? 10066 Do you mean it?"
10066Do you mean that?
10066Do you mean to say that you''re fooled just the same as Harry Masters and the Pedlar and the rest of those fools-- including Nick himself?
10066Do you see nothing serious about me?
10066Do you think he can hear?
10066Do you think just the same as the rest of them?
10066Do you wish further proof?
10066Don-- who''s he?
10066Donnegan?
10066Donnegan?
10066Eh? 10066 Eh?"
10066Eh?
10066Eh?
10066Even Suds?
10066Failed?
10066For what?
10066For which,said Donnegan,"I''m to step aside and let you at the colonel?"
10066Gentlemen, is it a good plan?
10066Gentlemen,said Donnegan, rising,"is there a doctor here?"
10066Gentlemen,said Donnegan,"will you step aside?"
10066George, Godwin taught you how to make coffee?
10066Get bumped off?
10066Good heavens, and ai n''t he a man for you?
10066Has n''t he taken Nick away from me? 10066 Have n''t I been hungry all my life for a man like you, lad?
10066Have you come here,she cried,"for-- for Donnegan?"
10066He has told you what? 10066 He is breaking her heart?"
10066He will live? 10066 Henry, do n''t you see that I was only playing for a purpose all the time?
10066Here?
10066Him?
10066Him?
10066How about Lord Nick?
10066How are you going to kill him, Joe?
10066How could I help it? 10066 How do you stand toward this bird with the birthmark and the red hair?"
10066How does he go to the shack?
10066How have you made sure? 10066 How long has it been,"the girl asked sharply,"since you have slept?"
10066However I do it, you''ll stick by her judgment, Henry?
10066Huh?
10066I have closed my eyes-- you see? 10066 I love her?
10066I love her?
10066I suppose you''ll get him back?
10066I''ll meet you in-- Milligan''s?
10066I? 10066 I?
10066I?
10066I?
10066I?
10066If I let you go what would you do?
10066If I should-- what would people say? 10066 If it were serious, do you suppose I''d talk like this?"
10066In other words I put my own motives into the actions and behind the actions of people? 10066 In short, you''re going to start out to get me?
10066In the hands of a man you know nothing about?
10066In the meantime, colonel, she keeps you from coming near Landis?
10066Is it possible that she loves a man who despises her?
10066Is it possible?
10066Is it true?
10066Is n''t there some way?
10066Is that fair to me? 10066 Is that final?"
10066Is that the one?
10066Is the door locked?
10066Is there anyone here?
10066Is there anything more that I can do?
10066Is what true?
10066It is n''t Jack that you''ve fought with?
10066It is n''t Jack?
10066It sounds logical what he said, eh, George?
10066It''s a long time since you''ve killed a man, is n''t it?
10066Joe Rix and the Pedlar? 10066 Joe Rix?"
10066Joe, you forged it?
10066Just what does he mean to you?
10066Leave now?
10066Lester, what''s happened?
10066Looking for a job, eh?
10066Lord Nick has been here?
10066Lord Nick? 10066 Lord Nick?"
10066Lou, do n''t you hear me saying that I''ll take the responsibility? 10066 Lou, do you distrust me?"
10066Lou, you are n''t angry with me?
10066May I say a bold thing?
10066Maybe he sent you to talk to me?
10066Maybe they ai n''t any call for you to fall out with Donnegan?
10066Me croak him? 10066 Me?
10066Me?
10066Money?
10066Murder? 10066 My dear boy, do you think I am reckless enough to break a promise I have given to you?"
10066Nell,he muttered hoarsely,"did you know about it?"
10066Nelly Lebrun--"I''m listening; and do you know I''m persuading myself to believe you?
10066Nelly, are you growing a conscience?
10066Nick,she whispered, frightened,"what is it?"
10066No matter where the trail takes you?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066Not dead? 10066 Not gone?
10066Now what do you want? 10066 Of me?"
10066Of what?
10066Oh, Jack, he has killed Lord Nick and now he is here--To do what?
10066Oh, Nelly Lebrun, what''s behind your mind? 10066 Oh, do n''t he make it, though?
10066One buck, did you say?
10066One minute?
10066Outside my door?
10066Putting on a lot of style, eh?
10066Qualifications for a fighter, eh?
10066Really? 10066 Right here?"
10066Safe?
10066See how he fails to notice that he''s making a sensation? 10066 Shall I get you out of this?"
10066She truly loves this Landis?
10066Shoot me up and then bring me back to life, eh?
10066Sir?
10066Son,he said,"how long you been in these parts?"
10066Suds? 10066 Suppose they were to be met on the way?"
10066Tears?
10066Tell me in one word: You stick on this point?
10066Tell me where I''m to go?
10066That I''ve read my father? 10066 The colonel knows him?
10066The colonel trusts him as far as all that?
10066The girl who loves you? 10066 The way I talk?
10066The woman I love?
10066Then Nick got Landis back before Donnegan returned?
10066Then how do you come here?
10066Then you do n''t love the girl?
10066Then you do n''t wish to go?
10066Then you''re one of Lord Nick''s men?
10066There seems to have been a jest?
10066They''ve gone for Donnegan?
10066This is who?
10066Three men? 10066 Told you what, Nick?"
10066Tonight it''s someone else?
10066Toward The Corner? 10066 Turn down Nick and take up Donnegan?"
10066Was even Suds with you?
10066Was that your only reason for fighting Jack Landis?
10066Well, what does he say about himself?
10066Well? 10066 Well?"
10066Well?
10066Well?
10066Well?
10066Well?
10066Well?
10066What about the birthmark? 10066 What are you driving at?"
10066What are you going to do, Nick?
10066What are you saying, Nell?
10066What are you saying?
10066What are you trying to do to me? 10066 What could I do?
10066What could be better?
10066What could be better?
10066What crew?
10066What d''you know?
10066What d''you know?
10066What did Lord Nick, as you call him, do to you? 10066 What do I care about Landis?"
10066What do I care what they say? 10066 What do you know of him?"
10066What do you know?
10066What do you mean?
10066What else can I mean?
10066What fool,murmured Donnegan,"has told you that?
10066What good will that do? 10066 What happened between you and Donnegan?"
10066What happened?
10066What have I done?
10066What have you done, what have you done?
10066What is behind all this frankness?
10066What is it you mean, Henry?
10066What makes you think that?
10066What of the fight to the death which you went through this same night?
10066What power then?
10066What should happen?
10066What the devil do you mean by that?
10066What the devil is in you?
10066What was he to you?
10066What will Lord Nick say if he finds out you''ve let Jack get into a fight?
10066What you got against him-- the color of his hair?
10066What you mean?
10066What you want?
10066What''s that kind of a gent doing in The Corner?
10066What''s the difference?
10066What''s the matter?
10066What''s the next step?
10066What''s wrong?
10066What''s your name?
10066What?
10066What?
10066Where d''you come from?
10066Where do the rest of you figure in it? 10066 Where is she?"
10066Who are you?
10066Who is it?
10066Who put it there?
10066Who taught you that expression?
10066Who you after?
10066Who''s Donnegan?
10066Who''s he?
10066Who''s he?
10066Who''s he?
10066Who''s he?
10066Who''s there?
10066Who?
10066Why am I after you?
10066Why are you after me?
10066Why did n''t I guess it?
10066Why did n''t you come directly to me?
10066Why did you leave the mines? 10066 Why do n''t you stake out your own ground and stay put in it?
10066Why do n''t you stay put?
10066Why do you look like that? 10066 Why not cut back in a semicircle toward The Corner?"
10066Why not?
10066Why not?
10066Why not?
10066Why not?
10066Why not?
10066Why should I be? 10066 Why should we be in such a hurry?"
10066Why would you do it?
10066Why, Joe told you, did n''t he? 10066 Why, confound you, ai n''t you Donnegan?"
10066Why?
10066Will you answer a question?
10066Will you let me speak?
10066With Joe Rix and the Pedlar guarding him?
10066Without force?
10066Working day and night?
10066Would it? 10066 Yeh?"
10066Yeh?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066Yes?
10066You ai n''t got a horse?
10066You are Garry? 10066 You are keeping Jack here-- in peril-- for my sake?"
10066You did n''t mean nothing by just''happening''to run into three of my boys one after another?
10066You did that?
10066You do n''t know Donnegan?
10066You do n''t know? 10066 You do n''t mean, Lou, that you actually intend to stay on?"
10066You fool''Wo n''t she find you out? 10066 You forgive me?"
10066You hate him, Nell, do n''t you?
10066You have done all these things-- following this trail you speak of?
10066You have heard of The Corner? 10066 You have heard?"
10066You have n''t even sense enough to lie, Nell, eh? 10066 You heard me talk?"
10066You killed Rusty?
10066You know I do n''t believe it, Nick? 10066 You know that Lord Nick went up the hill for Landis?
10066You know these blond, pretty girls?
10066You mean that Nick may have taken water?
10066You missed me?
10066You need cause to fight?
10066You pile up the bad features, eh?
10066You remember what I told you of Landis and the girl on the hill?
10066You saw, eh?
10066You see that clock in the corner? 10066 You see what an awful mess I''ve gotten into?"
10066You see?
10066You see?
10066You see?
10066You seem to like her?
10066You swear?
10066You take Landis?
10066You understand?
10066You want to know what it''s all about? 10066 You want to see him?"
10066You want us to clean up Donnegan?
10066You were playing with Lord Nick?
10066You were worried?
10066You will remember me?
10066You wo n''t go, dear Jack?
10066You''d fight?
10066You''ll go home before I have a chance for that dance?
10066You''ll kill him and give his place to me?
10066You''ll make one concession to my pride, Garry, boy?
10066You''ll take him away from Lord Nick-- and Lebrun-- and the rest?
10066You''re in love with her? 10066 You''re not acting a part?
10066You''re not afraid?
10066You''re the gent that cleaned up on Landis, ai n''t you?
10066You''re the gent that''s here with the colonel, ai n''t you?
10066You''re warning me ahead of time?
10066You''ve met him? 10066 You?"
10066You?
10066You?
10066''Is this here a friend of yours, Lefty?
10066A roving commission?"
10066Across the mountains-- with whom?"
10066After all what was Donnegan to him?
10066All that he said was:"Is there anything you need?"
10066All this seemed logical, but where find the man to storm the heart of Nelly and dazzle her bright, clever eyes?
10066All this trouble because of a piece of calico?"
10066Am I a nut?
10066Am I right?
10066Amuse me?
10066And Donnegan himself?
10066And The Corner was standing around waiting for him to bring the youngster down?"
10066And after all was he not pleading for her happiness as he believed?
10066And after you had punctured him you had no chance to send home the finishing shot?"
10066And all on one trail?
10066And as for Donnegan?
10066And did you notice his giant servant?
10066And if a hair of her head is ever harmed-- you see that fire burning yonder-- the bed of coals?"
10066And if you take Landis away where will you put him?"
10066And last night, after you''d wormed it out of Joe, you went to Donnegan?"
10066And now you have been fighting?"
10066And now-- if one of us could clear the road, what will we do together?
10066And now?"
10066And the main topic of conversation was: Did Donnegan aim at the body or the hand of the bouncer?
10066And then, to her:"But you knew about it and did n''t warn him?
10066And what was I beside him?
10066And would not Kennebec Lou himself return in admiration of a man who had done what he, Kennebec, could not do?
10066And would not that open the door to Donnegan?
10066And you do n''t doubt it, do you, old fellow?"
10066Are you angry?"
10066Are you contented to look at a flower from a distance?
10066Are you glancing at her, now?"
10066Are you going to leave them without a syllable of goodfellowship?"
10066Are you going to spend your last four minutes hating me?"
10066Are you one of us, pal?"
10066Are you the fellow who turned back my man?"
10066As it touches me now, you see?"
10066Besides, how could I conceal myself from such a man?
10066Bring him away from the tigers of Lord Nick''s gang?
10066Bring him here where she may think of him and tend him and grow to hate me?"
10066But Donnegan?
10066But could he tell her, poor girl, the story of Nelly Lebrun?
10066But how remove Nelly as long as it was her cue from her father to play Landis for his money?
10066But if you''re playing straight, tell me what you want?"
10066But it''s an interesting bluff, Jack, do n''t you think?"
10066But now for your work here, lad?"
10066But on such a night as this?"
10066But that leaves four of us, and four is plenty, eh?"
10066But then, who had ever been able to fathom the ways of Donnegan?
10066But what about comfort, Lou?"
10066But what could you be afraid of?
10066But what if she truly loved Landis?
10066But with Donnegan out of the way would not Suds come back to him instantly?
10066But you see what a fool I was and how clumsily I worked?
10066But you, George-- have you heard what he said?"
10066By the way, what was the reason?"
10066Can you use it?"
10066Come to the windward of Joe Rix?
10066D''you give us a free road?"
10066Dead?
10066Did the fools think I did n''t mean it?"
10066Did they give him up so soon as it was known that Lord Nick had entered the lists against him?
10066Did you see him smile over it?
10066Did you see them?"
10066Do I go along stepping on the tail of a rattlesnake?
10066Do I need to tell you?
10066Do n''t you hear?"
10066Do n''t you see her play?
10066Do n''t you see that I''ll go out and explain that I''m your brother?"
10066Do you doubt that?"
10066Do you hear?
10066Do you know Nick?"
10066Do you know why?
10066Do you remember the little red- headed tramp who came in here the other night and spoke to me?"
10066Do you see a way yourself?"
10066Do you still want to save Donnegan?"
10066Do you think I could trust you?
10066Do you think I''ll drop you while you look around?"
10066Do you think I''m fooled by it?
10066Do you?"
10066Does he think I have time for letters?"
10066Donnegan repeated slowly:"Your daughter loves this chap?"
10066Donnegan, tell me the trick of it?"
10066Donnegan?"
10066Donnegan?"
10066Donnegan?"
10066Eh?
10066Eh?"
10066Eh?"
10066Eight miles--"Did she expect to turn a sinner from the gates of heaven with a mere phrase?
10066Either he must place his own life in terrible hazard or else he must shoot to kill; and if he killed, what of Lou Macon?
10066Even if she thought he was slighting her why should she take it so mortally to heart?
10066Expectancy?
10066For a moment Donnegan only stared at her; on what did she base her confidence in his prowess as a fighting man?
10066For if it needed compulsion to keep him with Lou now, might it not be the same story hereafter?
10066Go down into The Corner?
10066Had Donnegan aimed at the hand of Andy and risked his own life on his ability to disable the other without killing him?
10066Had Donnegan gone out madly to fight the three men in spite of her warning?
10066Had Donnegan returned these things to show how perfectly he despised his enemy?
10066Had all his display in The Corner gone for nothing as against the repute of this terrible mystery man?
10066Had he not reduced poor Jack Landis to a trembling wreck by five minutes of silence?
10066Has he just come here hunting trouble?"
10066Have I said anything agin''him?
10066Have you nothing to remember?
10066Have you ventured into such a country as this without any equipment?"
10066He added:"But do you mean all this?"
10066He added:"What was his name?"
10066He went on aloud to Landis:"So glum, my boy?
10066He will live?"
10066He''s one of the colonel''s men?"
10066Heavens above, does n''t he know that a mining camp is no place for a young girl?
10066Heavens, man, is there anything more disagreeable than being hurried out of life?
10066Her cheeks were flushed; her eyes were starry with what?
10066Her father?
10066Her father?
10066Her hatred could be a deathless passion, and her love also; and the great question to be answered now was, did she truly love Jack Landis?
10066Hogtie''em both?"
10066How can you carry him?"
10066How could any woman in her senses prefer me?"
10066How could she dream that it sprang out of anything other than a wild devotion to her?
10066How follow up the opening gun which he had fired at the expense of Gloster and the three miners?
10066How much went through the brain of Lord Nick?
10066How remove her, unless it were possible to sweep Nelly off her feet with another man?
10066How should it be done?
10066How to startle The Corner?
10066How will you persuade Nelly?
10066How, therefore, am I to draw him from Nelly?
10066How?"
10066Hunting for what?"
10066I ask you, who''s Donnegan?"
10066I could only hope that he was hollow; yellow-- you see?
10066I guess good sense''ll tell a man that it was n''t none of us, eh?
10066I know it, do n''t I?
10066I love her?
10066I pity a dog in the street, but would I cross you, Garry, lad, to save the dog?
10066I take your daughter to the camp and play her against Nelly Lebrun to win back Jack Landis?
10066I''ve bought it with blood, and things you buy at such a price ought to stick, eh?"
10066I--"Why did he pause?
10066If Lord Nick had been humbled by this singular Donnegan, would it not be a perfect revenge to bring Donnegan himself to her feet?
10066If she wants to see this fool can you keep her away, and if she goes to him can you control her smiling?"
10066If that first meeting did not bring Landis to his senses, what followed?
10066If they see you in my clothes?"
10066If you do n''t want her, what difference does it make to you except silly sentiment?"
10066Interested?
10066Is he going to dance with you again?"
10066Is it clear?"
10066Is n''t that enough?"
10066Is that agreeable?"
10066Is that clear?"
10066Is that the scheme?"
10066It shook Donnegan to the core, but he replied instantly;"If I were in love, do n''t you suppose that I would have shot to kill when I met Landis?"
10066It''s Donnegan again-- Donnegan still?
10066It''s all true, then?
10066Jack Landis muttered a curse and said sneeringly:"Are you afraid?"
10066Kennebec?
10066Kill Landis?
10066Lefty broke in:"You mean to say you''ve been working two solid years and all on a trail that you ai n''t even found?"
10066Lord Nick wanted to know why I trusted to you?
10066Lord Nick?
10066Lou, have you looked into our friend''s cabin?
10066Love me?
10066Love?
10066May I come in?"
10066May I come in?"
10066Maybe you did n''t bust up the gang?
10066Maybe you did n''t clean up on Suds and Kennebec?"
10066Maybe you do n''t know who the boss is?"
10066Me?
10066Miss Donnegan in action?
10066Murder?"
10066Nick to send him away?
10066No farewell word for them?
10066No, do we look alike?"
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?
10066No?"
10066Nothing kindly to say?
10066Nothing to soften your mind?
10066Now, ca n''t you- all wait till Donnegan wakes up tonight?
10066Now, what pleasant accident has brought me the favor of this call?"
10066Now, you wonder why I wish to have Landis in my care if I do not intend to put an end to him and thereby become owner of his mines?
10066One bullet would do all this: and with Jack dead, who else stood close to the girl?
10066Or had he fired at Lewis''body and struck the hand and arm only by a random lucky chance?
10066Or was that because Donnegan''s own thoughts were traveling at such lightning speed that the rest of the world seemed standing still?
10066Pull the wool over my eyes?"
10066Say which?"
10066She had never seen such emotion in any man''s face, and if it was for another, how could she guess it?
10066She pitied him, but when did pity wholly rule the heart of a woman?
10066She was thinking: Why not have Landis back?
10066Sitting with your eyes closed?"
10066Smooth, eh?
10066So you have done it?
10066So you love the girl?
10066So you''re going to work for him?"
10066Somebody to stand and guard my back while I faced the rest of the world?"
10066Suppose he is a mint; have n''t we coined enough money out of him?
10066Suppose he were to allow Landis to plunge deeper into his infatuation?
10066Suspicious?
10066Tell me why you''re so set on this keeping of Landis here against my will and even against the lad''s own will?
10066That I knew he was sending a bloodhound when he sent you?
10066That clear?"
10066That it was to be near Nelly Lebrun as much as to be away from the colonel that he wished so ardently to leave the shack?
10066That trail you spoke of?"
10066That''s an old comparison, is n''t it?
10066The Corner is a wild town; you understand?"
10066The giant looked to Donnegan and observed:"Know a good definition of the word, skunk?"
10066Then what did she do?
10066Then who was it?
10066Then:"Do you really wish to see him?"
10066There was a faint glint in the eyes of the colonel; was he not sharpening his wits for his contest of words, and enjoying it?
10066There was the jeweler''s; the gent''s furnishing; a real estate office-- what could real estate be doing on the Young Muddy''s desert?
10066They ai n''t much nerve about you, is there?"
10066Three men leave town and commit a murder and then expect to go undetected?
10066To kill Landis in turn?
10066To prove to the girl that the big fellow had coolly tricked her?
10066To what end?
10066Try to push him away; to explain?
10066Understand?"
10066Ungrateful boy?
10066Unpleasant news?
10066Was he sitting up all the night, unable to sleep because he waited breathlessly for that false tryst on the morrow?
10066Was he, too, a party to the murderous plan?
10066Was it fear because of her?
10066Was it not through fear that the colonel himself had reduced her to such abject, unquestioning obedience?
10066Was it the Pedlar or Rix or me?
10066Was she reading beneath the boisterous assurance of Landis?
10066Was there no way to evade this easy request?
10066We understand each other?"
10066What am I to gain by placing him within the range of your whispering?"
10066What are we?
10066What are you doing up here?"
10066What ass had told you that Lord Nick is a common sort?"
10066What chance had poor Jack Landis against her?
10066What could I do?
10066What could she do?
10066What could she expect to find in him?
10066What did they expect?
10066What did you have against him?"
10066What had Donnegan done to the big man?
10066What have you been doing, Nelly, while all this was going on?
10066What have you done?
10066What in the world are they out for at this time of night?"
10066What is it you wish?"
10066What is speed in a fighter?
10066What is there to worry about?
10066What kept Lou Macon?
10066What made the assembly shine?
10066What made the ball so fine?
10066What makes you think that?"
10066What man could understand me?
10066What of it?
10066What pain is there greater than the pain that comes to the poor man in such a time?
10066What that was useful to her?
10066What the devil can I do?
10066What was Donnegan but a worthless tramp?
10066What was Donnegan to him?
10066What was I to do?
10066What was in his mind?"
10066What was it that he saw as he turned the pages?
10066What was it?
10066What will they think, Henry?"
10066What will you do?
10066What with Kennebec Lou and Suds both gone, what chance did I have to hold the boys together?"
10066What work did she assign to him in her imagination?
10066What would Landis do?
10066What would happen?
10066What would he not have given if she had come at his call not with these dumb eyes, but with a spark of kindliness?
10066What would the condemned man say to a friend who made such an offer?
10066What you got?
10066What you want?
10066What''ll you have, bud?"
10066What''s a fickle jade to me?
10066What''s pity?
10066What?"
10066When has a woman condemned a man for loving her beyond the rules of fair play?
10066Where by five chances out of ten he must meet his brother in the street?
10066Where was the filmy- eyed girl he had known?
10066Which handful must she discard?
10066Who am I to love her?
10066Who and what is she?"
10066Who are you?
10066Who has not heard snow drop from the branch upon other snow beneath?
10066Who is he?"
10066Who is it?
10066Who made Landis see light?
10066Who mentioned money?
10066Who put that name in your mouth?"
10066Who saved you?
10066Who started walkin''on Jack''s toes?
10066Who took the marshal off your trail after you''d knifed Lefty Waller, Joe Rix?
10066Who was it bribed the jury that tried you for the shooting up of Derbyville, Pedlar?
10066Who was left?
10066Who with?
10066Who worked it so that every nickel that came out of the mines went through the fingers of Landis and came back to us?
10066Who would it be?
10066Who''s Donnegan?
10066Who?
10066Who?
10066Whom should I select?
10066Why could n''t you get him away from the house?"
10066Why did I feel that?
10066Why did you do it, girl?"
10066Why die, Landis, with a curse in your heart and a scowl on your lips?"
10066Why do n''t you draw on me?
10066Why do n''t you?
10066Why do n''t you?"
10066Why not a quick draw, a snap shot, and then the glory of having killed this manslayer in single battle for Joe Rix?
10066Why not let things go on as they were?
10066Why should I croak him?"
10066Why the sudden silence?
10066Why?
10066Why?
10066Why?
10066Will you help me?
10066Will you meet me at the shack by Donnell''s ford tomorrow morning at ten o''clock?
10066Will you try it?"
10066Will you walk with me?"
10066Win Lou Macon by the power of fear, well enough, for was not fear the thing which she had followed all her life?
10066Wo n''t you cut this short?
10066Worse than I''m in?"
10066Would it not be a joy to see him turn pale under her smile, and then, when he was well- nigh on his knees, spurn the love which he offered her?
10066Would not that cure Lou?
10066Would the three suspect when they reached the shack by the ford and no Donnegan came to them?
10066You do n''t understand?
10066You hated him all the time you were laughing with him and smiling at him?
10066You have the note from me?"
10066You hear me talk?"
10066You hear me talk?"
10066You hear me?
10066You hear?
10066You hear?"
10066You know how it is?
10066You know how it is?"
10066You know it?"
10066You know that I''m not doubting you?"
10066You know?
10066You know?"
10066You saw me put a paper in my pocket when I opened the door of my room?
10066You see how beautifully their plans and their work dovetail?
10066You see that crowd gathering yonder?
10066You see?
10066You see?"
10066You think you have me down?
10066You thought I was afraid of Donnegan?"
10066You understand?"
10066You understand?"
10066You understand?"
10066You want me to plead before her?"
10066You would return on my trail; there are such things as waylayings by night, eh?
10066You''ve met Donnegan?"
10066You?"
10066You?"
10066Your guide-- well, what was the colonel''s idea in sending you here?
10066Your thumb slipped on the card, eh?"
10066this trouble about a slip of a girl?"
28482Ai n''t that right, Loney? 28482 All you boys got a raise last month; ai n''t that good enough?"
28482Are you a Sawtooth man?
28482Are you the man I saw shoot that man and then fasten him to the stirrup of the saddle so the horse dragged him down the road? 28482 At the ranch?"
28482Backwards?
28482Breath? 28482 But if your shoulder is lame, Swan, how can you?"
28482But you''re fighting just the same, are n''t you, dad? 28482 Ca n''t you see how tired he is?"
28482Charlie Werner? 28482 Charlie?"
28482Cor''ner comin''?
28482D''ye know-- anything?
28482D''yuh think me and Frank could fight the Sawtooth and get anything out of it but a coffin apiece, maybe?
28482Dad, was-- has any one around here died, lately?
28482Dad, what_ is_ Whisper?
28482Dad, why did n''t you want me to leave the ranch to- day? 28482 Dad,"she said abruptly,"who is the man at Whisper?"
28482Did n''t she ever say anything about Fred Thurman, then?
28482Did you wish to speak about something?
28482Died? 28482 Do I get a free hand, or do n''t I?"
28482Do n''t the Sawtooth_ own_ this country? 28482 Do you mean to say you think I''m crazy?
28482Do you mind if I smoke?
28482Do you see how it was done, Swan? 28482 Do you think I am justified in the course I am taking, or do n''t you?"
28482Do you think I''m a damn fool, just because I''m a Swede? 28482 Do you think we ought to get out and hunt for her?"
28482Frank Johnson was killed, you say? 28482 Frank hire yuh?"
28482H- how did you know?
28482Has the girl arrived safely, Lone?
28482Have you got time to go back to the office and fix up my time, Hawkins?
28482He ai n''t? 28482 He''s not hurt, is he?"
28482Hell, how should I know?
28482How did it happen?
28482How do you know a doctor will come?
28482How was that?
28482How''d_ he_ know Brit rolled off''n the grade? 28482 How''n''ell did he git here-- the doctor?"
28482Huh?
28482Hunting her up? 28482 I do n''t know-- what''s that got to do with helping dad?"
28482I don''t---"Did they git Frank, las''night?
28482If some neighbours should ask,''How did that doctor come so quick?'' 28482 Is she the one who came here temporarily-- deranged?"
28482Is that dog of yours any good at trailing?
28482Is there any truth in her declaring that Frank Johnson is dead? 28482 Just how would it make trouble for my father?"
28482Just straight riding?
28482Just what was that about, Lone? 28482 L''raine, d''you know you''ve got a new papa?"
28482Lie?
28482Lightning is always bad, is n''t it?
28482Raine? 28482 Sorry, you do n''t mean-- Sawtooth accidents?"
28482Swan, if it''s serious enough for a doctor, ca n''t you send another thought message to your mother?
28482That was him, was n''t it?
28482That you, Raine? 28482 The doctor he comes, do n''t he?"
28482The man that struck that horse-- do you know that man?
28482They_ say_? 28482 Trailing me with a bunch, are yuh?
28482Was n''t that him?
28482Was you afraid four would n''t be enough to take me?
28482We try to prove Fred was murdered, and what''s the result? 28482 Well, how''n''ell did it happen?
28482Well, what do you know?
28482Well, what''s wrong? 28482 Well,"he said carefully at last,"if you''re falling down in your work, what are you whining about it to me for?
28482Well,he said flatly,"who is it this time?
28482What do you know about it, Raine?
28482What do you make of this new play?
28482What do you think Al would want----"Do n''t she see him shoot Fred Thurman? 28482 What do you want, Raine?"
28482What girl?
28482What have they said? 28482 What took him off again in such a rush?"
28482What was you''n''Lone talkin''so long about, out in the kitchen last night? 28482 What you think, Lone, if you be sitting down eating your supper, maybe, and you feel something say words in your brain?
28482What you think, Lone? 28482 What you think?"
28482What yuh doing up there?
28482What yuh quittin''for, Lone?
28482What''s on your mind, Swan?
28482What''s the matter? 28482 What- all happened to Brit Hunter?"
28482Where''d Lone go so sudden?
28482Where''d you git that idee?
28482Where''d you pick her up, Lone? 28482 Where''d you see all that, Raine?"
28482Where''s Brit now?
28482Where''s Lone at?
28482Where''s your authority, Swan?
28482Who is this girl?
28482Who''re them others?
28482Why did you let me give myself away to that man? 28482 Why do n''t you peel him, just on a chance?"
28482Why, where''s Frank?
28482Why-- who is what?
28482Why?
28482Yes- s-- but how''n hell did a doctor know about it?
28482You been seeing things?
28482You boys goin''over t''Spirit Canyon?
28482You can pack it, ca n''t you?
28482You did n''t see Frank coming anywhere, did you? 28482 You did n''t tell him anything, did you?"
28482You do n''t mean to tell me, dad, that you and Frank Johnson and Lone Morgan and-- everybody in the country are_ cowards_, do you?
28482You do n''t think any accident would happen to_ me_, do you?
28482You goin''after them posts, or shall I?
28482You got a horse? 28482 You have laws, do n''t you, dad?
28482You little fool, what do you think you''d do in these hills alone? 28482 You noticed, then, that she was not quite-- herself?"
28482You say she went to the Sawtooth?
28482You see where he was headed for, do n''t yuh, Swan?
28482You''re Miss Hunter, are n''t you? 28482 You''re not the man, are you?
28482You''re sure she is n''t here?
28482You''re the one they call Loney?
28482Yuh know what he''s figuring on doing? 28482 _ Accidents?_"Lorraine felt her throat squeeze together.
28482_ Me_? 28482 _ Walk?_"The stableman stopped chewing and stared at her.
28482A doctor from Shoshone----""A_ doctor_?
28482A rabbit,"she told him impressively,"would n''t sit out in the rain all night, would he?
28482Ai n''t that yore dad callin''yuh?"
28482And am I one of the outfit, dad?"
28482And he shot him-- oh, ca n''t you_ do_ something?"
28482And how did that happen?
28482And if he did not mind it, what possible chance had he against a power so ruthless and so cunning?
28482And what could the Quirt do to prevent the outrage?
28482And why do n''t you_ do_ something?
28482And why is my father unpopular?"
28482And-- oh, do you know how Lone is teaching the Little Feller to sit up on the floor?
28482Anybody at Thurman''s place, do you know?"
28482Are n''t you envious as sin, and glad they''re so happy?
28482Are you hurt much, dad?"
28482Brit Hunter''s girl, is she?
28482But are you_ sure_ it was n''t you?
28482But you look after things-- what''s your name?
28482CHAPTER XIV"FRANK''S DEAD""Frank come yet?"
28482Can you tell me just how the accident occurred?"
28482Could she, Hawkins?"
28482Could you do that, Miss?"
28482Could you know that man again?"
28482Dad, is n''t your brand the TJ?
28482Dad, would an innocent man-- one that did n''t have anything to do with a crime-- would he try to cover it up afterwards?"
28482Damn yuh, what d''yuh want that you expect to get?"
28482Did his horse have a white face, dad?"
28482Did you find Raine yet?"
28482Did you_ see_ him shoot that man?
28482Do you think I''d marry a cold- blooded murderer like you?"
28482Do you want them?"
28482Do you want your supper now?
28482Do_ you_ believe that girl actually saw a man shot?
28482Does she know this country well?
28482Drink all night, would yuh?"
28482Give her a good sweat, why do n''t you?"
28482Hain''t she a heart- ballum girl of Bob''s?"
28482Has she been unbalanced for long?"
28482Have you been away all the forenoon?
28482He could not, then, be planning to take her much farther into the wilderness; yet if he did not hide her away, how could he expect to keep her?
28482He is n''t_ dead_, is he?"
28482He ought to be arrested right away-- I''d have called a policeman but-- isn''t thunder and lightning just perfectly_ awful_?
28482His brake did n''t hold, eh?"
28482How are we going to make a stretcher?
28482How dare you take that tone, Mr Hawkins?
28482How did it happen?"
28482How much English does that Swede know?"
28482How''d you come to be walking so far?"
28482How''d_ I_ know she was in there among them rocks?
28482I am here to discover what you are going to do about it?"
28482I did n''t even have sense enough to tell you what ranch I was trying to find, did I?
28482I do n''t know of anything else that''d be liable to happen, unless----""Unless what?"
28482I saw the horse go by, running-- and you want me to keep still about that?
28482I----""Was she violent, before?"
28482If she pictured Echo, Idaho, as being a replica of the"set"used in the movie serial, can you wonder?
28482If there''s whisky, would n''t that help if he swallowed some now?
28482If you saw what I done to Fred Thurman, what do you reckon I''d do to_ you_?"
28482Is Mr Johnson anywhere about?"
28482Is he drunk?"
28482Is n''t that a man''s track, just beside that flat rock?
28482Is that all he said?
28482Is that the idea, Lone?"
28482Is this the patient I was sent to examine?"
28482It is n''t safe, is it?"
28482It''s you, is it, Lone?"
28482Jim and Sorry had taken orders all their life, and they would not be able to handle the ranch work alone; yet how else would it be done?
28482Just how far was it justifiable to mind his own business?
28482Just that he wanted to see me?"
28482Ket, what do you do to pass away the time?
28482Lone, can you come and help?"
28482Lone, or-- Frank?"
28482Lone, what you think?
28482Maybe you see some men ride backwards on a horse?"
28482Nothing,"she added desperately,"could happen to Frank between here and the turn- off at the ford, could it?
28482Now what becomes of that ranch?
28482Oh, did a doctor come, then?
28482Once he looked up into her sullenly distressed face and said,"Tired?"
28482Or do you think she was crazy?"
28482Or would you rather wait until Frank brings the fruit?"
28482Pretty bad, was n''t it?"
28482Put the dog on, why do n''t you?"
28482Queer how she claimed she spent the night in Rock City, ai n''t it?"
28482Say, Pop, she ai n''t no squaw-- is she, Loney?"
28482Say, you did n''t see that bay I was halter- breaking, did yuh, Al?
28482She got well, all right, did she?"
28482She somehow mixed her delusion up with Fred Thurman, did n''t she?"
28482Should I do that?
28482Should I tell the coroner that?"
28482Sorry,"she cried suddenly,"what_ is_ the matter with this place?
28482That had been news to him-- or had it?
28482That right?"
28482That''s a damn good rider to ride like that-- what you think, Mr Hunter?"
28482That''s a right stirrup, ai n''t it?
28482The place recalled with fresh vividness her first words to him:"Are_ you_ the man I saw shoot that other man and fasten his foot in the stirrup?"
28482There ai n''t any Charlie, except Charlie Werner; she would n''t mean him, do yuh s''pose?"
28482They have holes in the ground, do n''t they?"
28482Think he''ll pull through?"
28482This ai n''t the first time a man ever quit yuh, is it, Hawkins?"
28482Throw that six- shooter over there in the brush, will you?"
28482Vjolmar-- how yuh spell it?
28482Was it Frank or Lone?
28482We are n''t quitters, are we, dad?
28482What about Al-- the man from Whisper?
28482What become of the horses?"
28482What did he say he wanted to see me about?"
28482What do you want?"
28482What else could happen?"
28482What harm could it do to tell?
28482What if her dad had not written a word for more than a year?
28482What made you run away from me when you saw me coming?"
28482What was it to this man where she had been lost?
28482What was it?
28482What were doctors for?
28482What words did you feel-- in your brain?"
28482What you goin''to do about it?
28482What you say, Lone?"
28482What you think, Lone?"
28482What you think, Lone?"
28482What you think, Lone?"
28482What you think, Mr Hunter?"
28482What''d I want''em fur?
28482What''s all this about Brit being hurt?
28482What''s he say about Brit?
28482What''s on your chest, Swan?"
28482What''s the use?
28482When do you want to go?"
28482Where do they go when it rains?
28482Where''d he go?"
28482Where''s Brit?
28482Where''s Jim and Sorry, then?"
28482Where''s the horses, Raine?"
28482Where''s the man that was on the horse?
28482Which you ruther do?"
28482Who is it?"
28482Who was the Sawtooth Company, that they could sweep human beings from their path so ruthlessly and never be called to account?
28482Who you talking to?
28482Why did you say they would n''t both be likely to have accidents hand- running?
28482Why does everyone just keep still and let things happen, and not say a word?
28482Why had n''t he come back down the gulch yesterday and helped track the girl, as he was told to do?
28482Why must n''t I tell any one?"
28482Why not have the killing done by moonlight, and use the storm when the murderer was getting away, or something like that?
28482Why should Al Woodruff be interested in the exact spot where Brit Hunter''s daughter had spent the night of the storm?
28482Why should Lone instinctively discount her statement and lie whole- heartedly about it?
28482Why should she feed her imagination upon a mimic West, when the great, glorious real West was there?
28482Why, she thought confusedly, must she always be reminded of that horrible place of rocks?
28482Why?"
28482Wo n''t you please feel that I''m one more in the game, dad, and not just another responsibility?
28482Wo n''t you_ please_ talk to your mother and tell her we need the doctor?"
28482Yellowjacket is safe, but-- but you have real live horses on the ranch, have n''t you?
28482You ai n''t told anybody what you saw, have yuh?"
28482You believe in ghosts?"
28482You believe people can talk with their thoughts?"
28482You believe that?"
28482You could do that, please?"
28482You did n''t tell any one else, did you?"
28482You did n''t tell_ him_, did you?"
28482You do n''t think they''ve got her there, Lone?"
28482You know the girl, do n''t you?"
28482You understand?
28482You understand?"
27511''Where are you goin''?'' 27511 An''he thought he was tellin''you something new when he said it, too, did n''t he?
27511And how far beyond that is Little River?
27511And so you blackmailed him under threat of telling, did you?
27511And the last?
27511And you with all the money? 27511 Any candidates at present?"
27511Anybody got the makin''s?
27511Anybody in mind?
27511Are n''t the other two still alive? 27511 Are those things true?"
27511Are you comin''down to join us?
27511Are you going to make me go?
27511Are you ready, boys?
27511Are you sure he will love you always?
27511Are you taking Mike''s part against me?
27511Better be reasonable now, had n''t you?
27511Better lose a hoss fer the sake of yer good looks than be a comic valentine all yore life, what?
27511Boys, where''s the nearest tree?
27511Boys,he said,"which of you was down at the Big Horn last night an''turned them sheep back?"
27511But about the papers that you said were in Chicago?
27511But can you save him, even at that cost, do you think? 27511 But can you stand a sheepman in the family?"
27511But how did you get down over the Bar T range?
27511But what will happen now?
27511But what''ll yuh do with a thousand cattle on yore hands?
27511But what''s your orders, Simmy?
27511But when did you come out?
27511But why on earth did n''t you let me know? 27511 Ca n''t we get Bissell in this party?
27511Can I do anything to help you?
27511Can I ever be worth what I have cost you to- day?
27511Can you ride a horse?
27511Cattle?
27511Cows here?
27511Did you bring many of the boys down with you?
27511Did you get him?
27511Do n''t you know?
27511Do you defy me?
27511Do you know what time it is? 27511 Do you know who that Ed Skidmore is?"
27511Do you mean, young feller, that you wo n''t tell me about them rustlers?
27511Do you remember the first night Caldwell came to the Bar T ranch?
27511First I want to know why you wrote it?
27511From down East, eh? 27511 Got a gun, Julie?"
27511Got a horse for me?
27511Have you reverted to your original untamed condition?
27511He is? 27511 He was in that stampede with yuh, was n''t he?"
27511He was one of the party sent out to string yuh up, was n''t he?
27511How d''ye take the blame things? 27511 How did you get mixed up in it?"
27511How did you learn all this?
27511How do you know I had Caldwell write it?
27511How do yuh sell''em?
27511How is she? 27511 How is that?"
27511How long are you going to stay in this country?
27511How many are there?
27511How many did you scatter?
27511How''d it happen, boys?
27511How''d they know where I was?
27511How''ll we get yuh out?
27511How? 27511 How?"
27511How?
27511I allow old Bissell will be glad to see you when you''re brought in, eh?
27511I have, eh?
27511I know you made Caldwell write that letter,she said, balancing the gun,"and I want to know why you did it?"
27511I should think the hull outfit, cook- wagons, an''all, could make the visit to the Bar T."Yeah?
27511I suppose they all want to marry you?
27511I took a slant through my glasses, and what d''yuh suppose I seen? 27511 Is n''t it funny for that other man to get seasick out here where we ca n''t get enough water to drink?"
27511Is n''t it jolly to be married without anyone''s knowing?
27511Is that all you got to say?
27511Is that so?
27511Is that your final word on the matter?
27511Is that your last word on the subject?
27511Is there a Mr. Larkin here?
27511Just what do you mean by that?
27511Kind of a dude or something back East, was n''t he?
27511Larkin,said Joe,"we allow as how we''d like to make a bargain with yuh?"
27511Marry that dirty sheepman?
27511Mebbe yuh do n''t like yore flowery bed of ease out there, what?
27511Miss Julie, I ai n''t no hand at fine talk, but I want to ask yuh if you will marry me? 27511 More?"
27511No bad news I hope?
27511Now, Larkin,began Bissell,"these men know what you''ve been tryin''to do to my range--""Do they know what you did to my sheep?"
27511Now, what do yuh say to do?
27511Now, will you go over with me or will you go down the river to your father two miles away?
27511Oh, but wo n''t they be surprised at home?
27511Oh, what shall I do? 27511 Ready?"
27511Reasonable? 27511 Shall I tell you about it?"
27511Shall I wait for you? 27511 Shore, boys, shore,"said Sims impatiently;"but how?
27511Suppose I get''em all in one group so you ca n''t take individuals, then what will you do?
27511Swear on oath never to recognize or bear witness against us?
27511Talk to me a little while first, will you?
27511Tell me what''s that ungodly mess up in Little River; it was night an''we could n''t see?
27511Tell me, did any of his party come through alive?
27511That''s your game, is it? 27511 Then what''s become o''Jimmie Welsh and his nine men?"
27511Then you could have given the alarm at any time?
27511Then you do sometimes miss the things you have been educated to?
27511Then you give me only twenty- four hours?
27511Then yuh remember that Smithy Caldwell got five hundred dollars from yuh after a talk by the corral, do n''t you?
27511They did?
27511This sheepman Larkin-- is it true yuh been courtin''with him while I been away?
27511Thunderation, boss, what''ll we do?
27511Turn my arms loose, will you?
27511Well, darn it, what do yuh want?
27511Well, have you forgotten all your Eastern education?
27511Well, how in the road to hell can yuh take''em when it''s dark?
27511Well, then, why you had Caldwell write it?
27511Well, what do you want?
27511Well, what''s the story now?
27511Well, you are growed up, ai n''t you?
27511What about the lay of the country?
27511What ails yuh, Jimmie? 27511 What are you doing here?"
27511What are you doing out here?
27511What are you saying, Mike?
27511What are you trying to see?
27511What became of that two thousand I gave you before I left Chicago?
27511What d''yuh mean by that?
27511What did he do with it?
27511What did this here Caldwell do with the money?
27511What did you find this morning?
27511What do you mean by that? 27511 What do you mean by that?"
27511What do you mean by that?
27511What do you plan to do now?
27511What do you want?
27511What do yuh want of me?
27511What do yuh want to know about it?
27511What does he want with you?
27511What does this mean, boss?
27511What have you got?
27511What is it, Pedro?
27511What is it?
27511What is it?
27511What is the matter with them?
27511What is the thing for which Caldwell blackmailed you three years ago and again this year?
27511What proof?
27511What reason did he give for telling you?
27511What under heaven are you doing out here, Lester?
27511What were you doing out on the range last night?
27511What''d they say to yuh?
27511What''d''ye tell''em?
27511What''re yuh doin''this for?
27511What''re yuh goin''to do with me now?
27511What''re yuh goin''to do with me, Larkin?
27511What''s that?
27511What''s that?
27511What''s the use of riding all the way home and having a grand row with your father?
27511When will you have some more?
27511Where are the cowmen?
27511Where are the next two thousand?
27511Where are the sheep?
27511Where are you going now, Bud?
27511Where is the next nearest ford?
27511Where''s your father?
27511Where?
27511Who is this creature?
27511Who was he? 27511 Who''s there?"
27511Who, Mike? 27511 Why did n''t you keep them on the other side?
27511Why did you give Caldwell five hundred in the first place, Larkin?
27511Why did you write me that letter, Caldwell?
27511Why do n''t they know everything?
27511Why do you want to know about them?
27511Why not go over to Rattlesnake, where there''s a sky- pilot, and be married? 27511 Why not?"
27511Why wo n''t you marry me?
27511Why?
27511Would you mind if I loved him a little bit, too?
27511Would you swear on the Bible that you overheard what you have told me?
27511Would yuh let sheep go up yore range? 27511 Yeah, an''get strung up to the nearest tree fer my pains, eh?
27511Yes, I do; and do you want to know the reason for it?
27511Yes, but who''s driving now? 27511 Yes, but wo n''t they be out on the open Bar T range when we get them over?"
27511Yes, ma''am?
27511You can?
27511You mean to tell me that he was married before?
27511You remember that feller Caldwell that rode in late to supper the night Larkin come?
27511You''ll stay the night with us, wo n''t you?
27511You''re not discouraged, are you, dear?
27511Yuh wo n''t mind?
27511''Bout eighteen?"
27511And then, without waiting for a reply:"What does this mean?"
27511And, if so, why did Caldwell write this letter?
27511Answer me this, Julie, are you in love with him?"
27511Are yuh locoed?"
27511Bissell?"
27511But how?
27511But tell me, Bud, what brings you out West in general and here in particular?"
27511But what''s the use of prolonging the agony?
27511But who?
27511But without admitting this to Stelton she asked:"What was it all about?"
27511CHAPTER XVII A BATTLE IN THE DARK"Everything ready?"
27511Ca n''t they make trouble?"
27511Cain''t yuh see that if yuh hang this feller we''ll have both the sheep and cattlemen ag''in us?"
27511D''ye think I''d do a thing like that?
27511D''ye think I''m a fool?"
27511Did n''t yuh see him turn yaller at the table?"
27511Did you drop out of the sky somewhere?"
27511Do you absolutely refuse to tell about them rustlers if I do n''t do as you want and let your sheep through?"
27511Do you call that right or just, either one?"
27511Do you expect me to get your breakfast?"
27511Do yuh know what yore doin''?"
27511Does it to you?"
27511Even when attacked by wild animals at night they do not seek the shepherd, but stand and bawl to the valiant(?)
27511Get seventy men on the same thing that''ll only hold one?"
27511Had the foreman of the Bar T been listening and heard all?
27511Has he much of a case?"
27511He was Black Mike Stelton, foreman of the Bar T."What do you think, Mike?"
27511He''s never killed a man, has he?"
27511Hear that, boys?"
27511Hope to see me swing, too, I suppose?"
27511How about it?"
27511How and why?
27511How did he happen to be received and at perfect ease among a band of desperate rustlers?
27511How long did you say you had been in the West?"
27511How much do you want?"
27511How much of truth, therefore, was there in Stelton''s innuendoes?
27511How old are you, anyhow?
27511Hurry like blazes, eh?"
27511I wonder where our friend is?"
27511If he were honorable, how could it be that the officers were after him?
27511If these men had been driving the cattle why did they not continue to drive them instead of turning aside to make prisoner a harmless sheepman?
27511In the course of an hour Bissell suddenly asked:"Did you ever think of marryin'', Prairie Bell?"
27511Is breakfast ready?"
27511Is that it?"
27511It made me plenty mad, too; but what could I do about it?
27511Julie, do yuh know what yore sayin''?
27511Larkin?"
27511Must he go away without as much as a word from her, the one for whom he cared more than all the rest of the world?
27511Now will yuh tell us how you got in with''em in the first place?"
27511Now, just because I am curious, will you tell me why you went into the sheep business?"
27511Oh, by the way, how near are the sheep to our eastern herd of cows?"
27511Oh, what have I said?"
27511Oh, wo n''t there be the deuce to pay?"
27511One of the Bar T punchers?"
27511Safe?"
27511Shall I show yuh?"
27511Stelton''s dark face was illumined for a moment with a crafty smile, and then he said:"Yuh know a man by the name of Smithy Caldwell, do n''t yuh?"
27511Stelton, how many men will be in to- night?"
27511Tell me that, would yuh?"
27511That you will help this scoundrel?"
27511That''s the second bunch cut out of that herd, ai n''t it, Mike?"
27511Think I do n''t know you, Caldwell?"
27511Was there some occult power about the man-- some almost hypnotic influence that passed his crossed eyes and narrow features in that company?
27511What are you tryin''to do, kid me?"
27511What d''ye say?"
27511What d''ye think of that?"
27511What did yuh do to his sheep, Beef?
27511What do you say?"
27511What have you done with your money?"
27511What is it?"
27511What kind of a crook do you think I am?
27511What possible reason could there be for the quixotic actions of the man he hated more than any other in the world?
27511What puts such awful thoughts into your head?"
27511What the deuce are yuh talkin''about?"
27511What you do here?"
27511What''s the matter with''em?"
27511What''s the matter?"
27511What''s your answer?"
27511When he had apparently satisfied an inordinate thirst he looked up at the man across the river and said:"Say, could I git some grub in yore camp?"
27511Who are you?"
27511Who is he?"
27511Who, then, was driving them?
27511Why are the officers after Bud?"
27511Why do n''t yuh let''em through, yuh ol''fat- head?"
27511Will you take the word of an absolutely disinterested observer that the man is almost mad about you, and would sell his soul for one of your smiles?"
27511Will yuh give''em to me?"
27511With a wood- fire?"
27511With that contraption yuh''ve got there?"
27511You trust me to be sensible, do n''t you, father?"
27511You was with''em long enough to know some of''em again, I allow?"
27511You''re not a sheepman?"
27511Yuh pull our teeth an''then offer us grub, eh?
27511he growled as they rode along the bank,"ai n''t yuh got no consideration fer me?
19951''The Woofer''? 19951 A common soldier?"
19951A girl?
19951About what?
19951Afraid of being snowed in?
19951Ai n''t it a ghost?
19951Ai n''t you heard about der ghost?
19951Ai n''t you heard about der shack?
19951Ai n''t you never hear tell how ghosts look? 19951 All right, Miss Smarty, what is it?"
19951An''yer hate yer job, eh?
19951And did Running Bear shoot you?
19951And did he give you any idea of how much the gold weighed?
19951And did no one hear you?
19951And it is believed that the young fellow you call Fancy Farnsworth killed the woman for her money?
19951And the woman?
19951And what became of all those coons?
19951And why have you dared to detain me?
19951And you did n''t see who it was?
19951And you do n''t want to arrest me?
19951And you say they are gone?
19951Any doubt of it?
19951Any particular reason for wanting to know?
19951Anybody ever learn where her mail came from?
19951Anybody know how much of it there was?
19951Anything else?
19951Are they all right?
19951Are they killing him, Ted?
19951Are you a squaw pony?
19951Are you going to the ranch house?
19951Are you sure it was Running Bear?
19951Are you the beef contractor?
19951But about the poisoning part of it? 19951 But her husband?
19951But how are we to get over?
19951But how could they poison our cattle, without our seeing some of them sometimes?
19951But how did it happen, I wonder, that he was tied to the back of the pony?
19951But how did you come to be tied to the pony''s back?
19951But suppose we find it in the hands of the authorities?
19951But the cattle?
19951But the question is, how?
19951But what are we going to do about her?
19951But what is your business with me?
19951But what should a girl brought up in Texas know of wintering cattle in the snow? 19951 But why did n''t she make the fact that he was no longer her husband public?
19951But why is all this fuss being made about you and your secret? 19951 But why should they hev it in fer us?"
19951But why should they shoot Follansbee?
19951But you said something about the Gray Wolves visiting us?
19951But, in spite of it, she married him?
19951By the way, major, what do you know about him? 19951 Ca n''t, eh?"
19951Can I be of any assistance to you in caring for him?
19951Can you tell me what ranch house that is over there, and who owns it?
19951Cavalry or infantry?
19951Confound your impudence, who are you to give orders to me?
19951Coons is ghostes, not?
19951Could n''t he have sent you away without trying to kill you?
19951D''y''ever hear any suspicions cast upon nobody?
19951Den vy should n''t mine bullets haf killed him?
19951Den who tooken our hats, und who your golden locks pulled?
19951Did he appear to be in love with her?
19951Did he hint when this was going to take place?
19951Did he say anything else?
19951Did n''t any of you think of scouting down the coulee?
19951Did she say what her secret is?
19951Did they see you?
19951Did they shoot at you, then?
19951Did we? 19951 Did you hear that?"
19951Did you know him then?
19951Did you know she was so rich?
19951Did you murder Miss Mowbray, and why did you do it?
19951Did you see him?
19951Did you see the fellow who shot at me?
19951Did you tell the boss there was nothing doing in the moving line?
19951Do n''t you even suspect?
19951Do n''t you know that he is a very undemonstrative man, and that if he really cared for any one he is not the sort to exhibit it?
19951Do n''t you see how it is?
19951Do n''t you see that the cattle are stampeding?
19951Do they hunt mit der coons in der nighttime?
19951Do you call that a chance for my life?
19951Do you know her?
19951Do you know him?
19951Do you know who I am?
19951Do you know who he is?
19951Do you mean that some of them are gone?
19951Do you think Bud and Stella went farther west?
19951Do you think it is necessary for all of us to go?
19951Do you think your friend would put me up for the night?
19951Do you want to scare the poor thing into fits when she comes to? 19951 Do you want to take me to the house now?"
19951Do you wish to see papa?
19951Does that go?
19951Eh, how is that?
19951For instance?
19951For what am I arrested?
19951Found what?
19951Ghost, eh? 19951 Going to keep on, Ted?"
19951Great Scott, how did she happen in this fix?
19951Had she any particular friend in Rodeo?
19951Hallie, wo n''t you come back with me?
19951Has any crime ever been fastened on him so positively that there was no doubt that he committed it?
19951Has he ever been convicted of a crime?
19951Has he killed the wolf, or man, or wolf man, or woman, or whatever crazy thing it is? 19951 Have any trouble with the critters in the night?"
19951Have they much the start of us?
19951Have you ever thought that perhaps you have heard more than the truth?
19951Have you malice toward me?
19951He is, eh?
19951Hearing of her death, he came here to steal everything he could lay his hands on; is that it? 19951 Hello, what have we here?"
19951Hello, what''s that heading this way?
19951Hello, what''s that?
19951Hello, what''s the matter with you fellows? 19951 Here, hold still, wo n''t you?
19951How are you going to find that out?
19951How did it end?
19951How did you come to be named''The Woofer''?
19951How did you come to receive the shot in the leg?
19951How did you recognize it as the place?
19951How do you come to be here?
19951How do you know that?
19951How do you know that?
19951How do you know they were not Indians?
19951How do you know this?
19951How do you know?
19951How do you know?
19951How do you know?

19951How fur aire we from ther ranch?
19951How have you got him sized up?
19951How in the world did you come to be in this horrid thing?

19951How many do you want cut out?
19951How many of them were there?
19951How shall I introduce you to the major-- as Farnsworth?

19951I want you to go back to your herd and drive it into the government pasture at once, do you hear, at once?
19951I wo n''t, eh? 19951 I?"
19951If he wanted revenge, why did n''t he take it while he had the chance? 19951 In what condition?"
19951In what shape was the money? 19951 In what way?"
19951In what way?
19951Is he a bad man? 19951 Is he dead?"
19951Is he hurt?
19951Is he the son of Barrows, the railroad multi- millionaire, do you know?
19951Is it a woman, or is it a beast trying to lure me on? 19951 Is it possible that he is a coward?"
19951Is it that you are not satisfied with our ways, and that you want to leave us?
19951Is she hurt?
19951Is that all the evidence you have against him?
19951Is that all? 19951 Is that all?"
19951Is that you, Hallie?
19951Is this the Moon Valley outfit?
19951Iss dot you, Follansbee?

19951Many of them there?
19951May I ask your name?
19951Meaning?
19951No? 19951 None of my business, I suppose?"
19951Nothing to you?
19951Now, run along, little soldier boy, do n''t yer see I''m busy?
19951Now, what can I do for you? 19951 Oh, I just dropped in to take a look around, and what do you think I found?
19951Oh, by the way, have you looked into that packet I took from the safe and handed you? 19951 Oh, that was the reason, eh?"
19951Oh, what''s the use?
19951Pardon me, but who are you?

19951Py Chiminy, ai n''t he noble? 19951 Reckon you''ve got the toothache, eh?
19951S''posing they try it?
19951Say, Woofer, you wo n''t take a reward for bringing in our strays, how would you like a job with this outfit?
19951Say,drawled Bud to the other boys,"Ted put ther bloom o''youth on Clarence''s cheek, did n''t he?"
19951See here, Ted,said the golden- haired cow- puncher,"whar did yer pick up ther maverick what''s up at ther house?
19951See here, who are you alludin''at?
19951See who?

19951Soldiers, eh?
19951Something like the murder of Miss Mowbray? 19951 Stella, what''s ther matter?"
19951Strayed, probably?
19951Suppose it was not an accident, who do you think would be most likely to try to shoot you from ambush, and make it appear an accident?
19951Suppose who does what?
19951That''s all er collidge eddication done fer yer? 19951 The Gray Wolves?"
19951Then Farnsworth had nothing to do with it?
19951Then Mowbray has no right to her property?
19951Then he knows we have found it?
19951Then the body was discovered, I suppose?
19951Then what''s he goin''ter do?
19951Then what''s the matter?
19951Then who did?
19951Then who done it? 19951 Then why did Running Bear shoot you because you would not tell him?"
19951Then why did n''t you stop Fancy Farnsworth?

19951Then, for the last time, will you open?
19951There has been gossip, then?
19951There, did n''t I told you?
19951Think we better push on, or make camp?
19951This is something of a surprise, is n''t it?

19951Was that the Missouri?
19951Well, Sultan, old chap, it has been a long, dry drive, has n''t it?
19951Well, what do you make of it?

19951What are you going to do?
19951What authority did you have for that? 19951 What became of the cord by which she was strangled?"
19951What became of the two Japanese?
19951What can it be?
19951What can we do? 19951 What can we do?"
19951What crime has he committed?

19951What do you mean by intruding on me like this?
19951What do you mean by making trouble for any one else in the camp?

19951Who was it?
19951Who, or what is it?
19951Who?
19951Whom have you seen?
19951Why are you so sure?
19951Why did n''t you let me know that you had brought a regiment with you?
19951Why did n''t you wait for me?
19951Why did she risk murder by keeping such a fortune about her?
19951Why do n''t they kill their beef in a slaughterhouse and give them the meat, instead of turning the animals over to them alive?
19951Why do n''t you arrest yourself as a suspect? 19951 Why fortunately?"
19951Why in Sam Hill did n''t I think o''that myself? 19951 Why not?
19951Why would n''t I?
19951Why, yer doodle, ca n''t ther ghost come out yere jest ez easy ez he kin''go inter ther house-- that is, if he''s a sure- enough ghost?
19951Why? 19951 Why?"
19951Why?
19951Why?
19951Will you tell Ted Strong where the mother gold is hidden?
19951Wonder they ai n''t been out to head us off this morning?
19951Wonder what waked me?
19951Wonder where the folks are?
19951You are married to Running Bear?
19951You awake?
19951You have, have you?
19951You heard them talking among themselves, and Mowbray planned to attack this house, and kill us all?
19951You know me?
19951You loved him?
19951You mean the man called Woofer?
19951You think he has accomplices, then?
19951You thought you could put this thing through because you are a deputy United States marshal, did you? 19951 You''ll excuse me, Strong, while I look these over, wo n''t you?"
19951You''re a deputy United States marshal, are n''t you?
19951You''re ter be ther executioner, eh?
19951Your man shot you? 19951 A face, or only a blank? 19951 A holdup?
19951After a silence, during which every one was turning these facts over in his mind, Ted turned to Clay, and said:"What about the Indians, Clay?"
19951Am I not telling you everything that occurs?"
19951And he offered Running Bear whisky for your secret?
19951And where was he stopping?
19951Are you going to have a waltz, or is it going to be a two- step, or a catch- as- catch- can wrestling match?
19951At last ther tree busts plumb open, an''what d''yer think Unc''Fletch sees?"
19951Bud, where did you learn all these things about trailing?"
19951But do n''t you want some coffee, too?"
19951But how had Sol Flatbush got into this part of the country?
19951But how was the murder discovered?"
19951But if he was innocent, why did he not stay and face his accusers, and go back to Rodeo with the marshals and prove himself innocent?"
19951But say, boy, does yer know what yer brought?"
19951But what was that?
19951But who was the man who was killed?"
19951But why did n''t you get out of the skin when you came within sight of the house?"
19951But why is he here?
19951But you spoke of his being especially dangerous because of the men he had gathered about him?"
19951Could he talk, and would not?
19951Could it be possible that it was not an accident?
19951Could it be that Burk was holding the house awaiting Mowbray''s arrival?
19951Could it be that Stella was outside, and that she was signaling the house, and thinking it occupied, did not dare come to it?
19951Could it be the boys who were signaling to her?
19951Currency, gold dust, ingots, or gold coins?"
19951D''y''ever hear tell o''that?"
19951Did Farnsworth, so called, have anything to do with the murder of the Spooner family in Somber Pass?"
19951Did he tell you?"
19951Did n''t we just hear der ghostes yell mit der outside?"
19951Did they see you?"
19951Did you?"
19951Do n''t you know that a government contract means business, and that to- day does n''t mean to- morrow?"
19951Do n''t you know that we must have the beef; that there is an Indian beef issue to- morrow?"
19951Do n''t you see through me?
19951Do n''t you think that is White Fang?"
19951Do you know if he is a man of any particular force and cleverness?"
19951Do you know what sort of a cord this is?"
19951Do you know what that is?"
19951Do you know who he was?"
19951Do you know?"
19951Do you think you could travel if I was to help you into my saddle?"
19951Does she leave him anything in her will?"
19951Dot man vould make dree times of Follansbee, nit?"
19951Ever hunt coons with a dog?"
19951Find the house?"
19951Had he, after all, killed his horrible enemy?
19951Had they been frightened away by the proximity of the boys?
19951Has he killed many men?"
19951Have you seen Joy-- Ban Joy, the Jap, I mean?"
19951Have you thought of that?"
19951Have you?"
19951Hello, what''s this?
19951How could he expect to fight or escape from a devil impervious to the balls from a Colt forty- five?
19951How did this happen?"
19951How do you feel now?
19951How do you know?"
19951How do you suppose I''m ever going to get this saddle on you if you do n''t stand still?"
19951How does it happen that he is in this country?"
19951How long have I been here?"
19951How long have you been married to him?"
19951How many head do you need for the Indians?"
19951How old are you?"
19951How will Mr. Dickson do?"
19951How you vas, Kris?"
19951I suppose you know that it is the coroner''s duty to do things of that sort?"
19951I wonder if you will ever run across them?
19951If I get yer, why-- I''ll drag yer, see?"
19951Is Ted Strong here?"
19951Is that all?"
19951Is that it?"
19951It were better if his friends could take charge of his body and bury it, but where were his friends?
19951Jest as he''s thinkin''about hollerin''fer help----""Why did n''t he skin out of his coat, and leave it sticking to the tree?"
19951Leader of the Whipple gang?"
19951Never went coon huntin'', did yer, Ted?"
19951Remember what Frederic Caruthers said about the Gray Wolves''visit, and the cleverness of the fellows?"
19951Right cute o''me, wa''n''t it?"
19951Shall I force it?"
19951Shall I smash our way in?"
19951Should he take the chance?
19951Sounds as crazy as the steer, does n''t it?"
19951Ted glanced at Stella, and saw a look in her eyes which plainly said:"Did you see it, too?"
19951Tell me, have the Gray Wolves been here yet, and have you driven them off?"
19951Tell me, who put all thet dope about this bein''a haunted house in ther shell what yer calls yer head?"
19951The Indians?"
19951The question is, What is beyond the rise, in the hollow?"
19951Then you have n''t heard the latest news from Rodeo?"
19951These beef cattle?"
19951They might even now be on the way, and who could say they were not far away?
19951This was in the manner of a personal challenge, as if he had said:"Who the deuce are you?
19951Unlimbering his six- shooter, he called,"Who''s thar?"
19951Vat vill ve didding?"
19951Want a few head to feed to the Indians?"
19951Was that eerie, bubbling laugh of his the only articulate sound he could make?
19951Well, can I have the wagon, and a driver to bring it back?"
19951Were they so short of beef at the post and a beef issue coming off, and then attempt to bluff him with their army rulings?
19951What about him?
19951What are we to do?"
19951What could be easier than when Woofer heard them talking about their plans to ride out and meet a courier sent by Barrows to get the information?
19951What could have happened to her?
19951What could it be?
19951What could she do to save herself?
19951What could the matter be?
19951What did he shoot you for?"
19951What did it all mean?
19951What did you do with the cord?"
19951What difference does it make to us?"
19951What do you mean by that?"
19951What do you see?"
19951What do you think I found in the shed behind the house?
19951What do you think of it?"
19951What do you think of it?"
19951What do you want?"
19951What do you want?"
19951What does two words, the first ending in''is''and the other in''een''mean, I wonder?"
19951What had the poor chap to do with joy?
19951What if they had gone away?
19951What is going on out there?
19951What is his name?"
19951What is the son of a chief?
19951What memories stirred him that this desperate young man should be so shaken?
19951What seemed the matter with them?"
19951What sort of cord is it?"
19951What was behind that mask?
19951What was it?"
19951What was to be done?
19951What yer waitin''fer?"
19951What''s he doin''in this part o''ther country?"
19951What''s he doing?"
19951What''s the matter?
19951What''s the matter?"
19951What''s the matter?"
19951What, then, was his reason for holding the house and the remains of the murdered woman against all comers?
19951When did the boss say he''d be here?"
19951When does ther tocsin sound?"
19951Where are you?"
19951Where are you?"
19951Where but to the rendezvous of the band of the Gray Wolves?
19951Where is Running Bear?"
19951Where is his house?"
19951Where is the sycamore tree Singing Bird said was a landmark?"
19951Where was Ted?
19951Where would we be in the spring if any large portion of our beasts were so maimed?"
19951Where''s your aunt?"
19951Which shall it be?"
19951Who are you to talk to me like that?"
19951Who can say what we will find there?"
19951Who could have stolen them?
19951Who is he?"
19951Who is that feller?
19951Who knows but that it is a perfect antidote for the Paris green?"
19951Who took them?
19951Who wants to help me find Singing Bird?"
19951Who was he?"
19951Whose house am I in?"
19951Why did n''t whoever had called out come at once?
19951Why did n''t you let them get into the open, where we could have shot them down?"
19951Why did n''t you speak of it?"
19951Why did n''t you wake me up and put me to work?"
19951Why did you not tell me this before?"
19951Why do n''t you come in?"
19951Why do n''t you throw him off and come to me, who is a fighter?"
19951Why had the men who had captured and brought her thus far deserted her?
19951Why is he not here to take care of his wife?"
19951Why not he?
19951Why should n''t I?"
19951Will you take charge of things?
19951Wuz that you what was woofin''all night?''
19951Yer did n''t think I wuz in earnest?"
19951Yer do n''t say?"
19951You here?"
19951You know about him?"
19951You saw him, too, did ye?"
19951You think I am a squaw, do you?"
19951You understand what I want?"
19951You want us to quit, eh?"
19951says he ter ther tree,''ye''ll make monkey- shines with me, holdin''me by ther coat tails, will yer?''
26239All right, daddy; but what about you? 26239 Am I dreaming, mother, or am I actually sitting here in the city?
26239Am I hungry? 26239 Am I in America?"
26239Am I?
26239And about-- me?
26239And leave you to fight it out alone?
26239And will you tell him about our trip?
26239And you did n''t care?
26239And you-- are you hurt?
26239Anybody turned up from the mill?
26239Are we still on the hill?
26239Are you going away?
26239Are you going to do it?
26239Are you sure? 26239 Assault?
26239At the same time you figure he''s going to have a large income, I suppose? 26239 But how do you get on with the boys?"
26239But in the end, Joe, after this scandal is lived down, can he-- will he-- marry her? 26239 But suppose Cliff hears of this business between you and Norcross and comes galloping over the ridge?"
26239But what can I do? 26239 But what of_ him_, Joe; he do n''t care for her as she does for him-- can''t you see that?"
26239But where is it all leading me?
26239But you were tolerably sure about that other fellow-- that rancher with the fancy name-- weren''t you?
26239By East you mean Kansas?
26239Ca n''t you hand me out a hunk of bread and meat? 26239 Can it be that I am really a man to her,"he thought,"I who am only a poor weakling whom the rain and snow can appall?"
26239Can you drive? 26239 Cliff did?
26239Could n''t I rig up a torch and go to meet him?
26239Did I waken you?
26239Did Miss McFarlane return?
26239Did Nash go on?
26239Did he ask you to marry him?
26239Did he speak to you-- are you engaged?
26239Did he tell you what was in the telegram? 26239 Did it snow at the lake?"
26239Did n''t he forbid your hunting any more?
26239Did n''t she cross- examine you?
26239Did ye get as far back as my old town?
26239Did you come over the high trail?
26239Do n''t you think it possible that your fancy for Wayland is also temporary?
26239Do n''t you think we''d better close camp and go down there? 26239 Do you know her?"
26239Do you like our town better?
26239Do you think so?
26239Do you think that a wise thing to do? 26239 Forestry boys?"
26239Good thing you did n''t ask me if I could_ catch_ fish?
26239Has he said anything to you? 26239 Have you ever been in a city?"
26239He slays''em, does he?
26239He told you not to come here any more-- advised you to hit the out- going trail-- didn''t he?
26239Hello, old man, what you been doing with yourself? 26239 How about Cliff?
26239How about Frank?
26239How about your mother-- does she approve of such expeditions?
26239How are you this morning? 26239 How are you_ to- day_?"
26239How came you here?
26239How can you help it? 26239 How did it all happen?"
26239How did you know it?
26239How did you like Meeker?
26239How did you sleep?
26239How do you feel by now?
26239How do you feel this morning?
26239How do you find yourself this morning?
26239How do you know that?
26239How does that saloon happen to be here?
26239How far is it down to the ranger station?
26239How is the bump?
26239How long since you found him?
26239How will Cliff take all this chirking business?
26239I do n''t hear very well-- where are you?
26239I have eyes, Miss Supervisor, and also ears-- which leads me to ask: Why do n''t you clean out that saloon gang? 26239 I reckon you''re Mr. Norcross?
26239I suppose they think we''re all''Injuns''out here?
26239I wanted to know if Berrie and her feller got home all right?
26239I wish you''d take me to board? 26239 I wonder how Cliff would like that?"
26239I wonder if I shall ever ride through this mountain world as unmoved as he seems to be?
26239I wonder if she used her pistol?
26239I wonder just what happened after I left? 26239 If you had n''t come she would have married Cliff-- and what kind of a life would she have led with him?"
26239In what way?
26239Is it a bear? 26239 Is it settled that way?"
26239Is it to- morrow or the next week?
26239Is n''t it fun?
26239Is n''t this a charming valley?
26239Is that so? 26239 Is that so?
26239Is there a-- an agreement between you?
26239Is this the office of the Forest Supervisor?
26239It''s a little like being shipwrecked on a desert island, is n''t it?
26239May I come in?
26239May I go with you?
26239May I look in on him?
26239Mr. Nash''s presence in the camp must be made known; but then there is Clifford''s assault upon Mr. Norcross, can that be kept secret, too?
26239Mr. Norcross is a college man, and not used to our ways--"_ Mister_ Norcross-- what''s his front name?
26239Oh, what shall I do? 26239 Ought n''t I to take a turn up the trail and see?
26239Out for your health?
26239Perhaps I shall be permitted to see you now and again? 26239 Seems like a mighty fine chance, do n''t it?
26239Shall I fire my gun?
26239Shall I go and see?
26239Shall I resign to- morrow? 26239 She plays all the parts, do n''t she?"
26239Should we have left a note for the Supervisor?
26239Since when did you start a hospital for Eastern tenderfeet?
26239So you''re from the East, are you?
26239Suppose I refuse-- suppose I decide to stay here?
26239Suppose this snow keeps falling?
26239Surely you do n''t consider me at fault?
26239The Supervisor''s daughter?
26239The what?
26239We''ll rest here an hour,she said,"and cook our grouse; or are you too hungry to wait?"
26239Well, how about city life-- housekeeping and all that?
26239Were you wishin''fer to speak to me?
26239What brings you up here this time?
26239What can I do?
26239What can I do?
26239What could Joe have been thinking of to allow them to go?
26239What did he say?
26239What did she say-- something about me-- and Cliff?
26239What do you do for amusement?
26239What does his father want of him?
26239What for?
26239What for?
26239What has happened to me?
26239What if he do n''t like us?
26239What is it all about?
26239What is it, Miss Berrie?
26239What is to be done?
26239What kind of a place is it?
26239What makes you think he''s a''lunger''?
26239What makes you think so?
26239What makes you think so?
26239What shall we do? 26239 What then?
26239What time is it now?
26239What town is that, Bill?
26239What will your father do?
26239What would I do if when riding in the dark my horse should go down like that and pin me in the mud?
26239What you doing out here, anyhow-- fishing or just rebuilding a lung?
26239What''s that consumptive''dogie''doing here? 26239 What''s the matter with the town?"
26239What''s the matter?
26239When did Mr. Norcross get his fall?
26239When did this take place?
26239When do you expect him back?
26239Where did you say the Supervisor was?
26239Where do you live when you''re to home?
26239Where is the Supervisor?
26239Where is your home?
26239Where shall I begin?
26239Where will I find the government''phone?
26239Where''s McFarlane? 26239 Where''s Tony?"
26239Where''s the Supervisor?
26239Where''s your father?
26239Who is that?
26239Who-- Berrie? 26239 Why all this worry on your part?"
26239Why did n''t you finish the job?
26239Why did n''t you? 26239 Why did you do it?
26239Why do n''t she urge the men to clean it up?
26239Why not put your bed in the tent? 26239 Why not tell him now?"
26239Why not?
26239Why not?
26239Why so?
26239Why so?
26239Why, Cliff, where did you come from?
26239Why, what''s wrong with her? 26239 Why?"
26239Will your mother and sisters be with your father?
26239Would life on a wheat- ranch accessible to this hotel by motor- car be endurable to you?
26239You do n''t blame father, do you?
26239You got my letter?
26239You like that kind of life?
26239You look brand- new-- haven''t had time to season- check, have you?
26239You mean with Berea?
26239You think I have a''brogue,''do you?
26239You think me a poor excuse of a trailer, do n''t you?
26239You think so-- do you? 26239 You were born here?"
26239You''re afraid he would n''t like me?
26239You''ve noticed that?
26239_ Now_, where do you suppose the Supervisor is?
26239A girl asked:"Are you to be in New York this winter?
26239After a moment he broke in with:"What can a man do in this town?"
26239And her happy smile-- do you know, I have times when I resent that smile?
26239And if he marries her can they live together and be happy?
26239And that girl, is n''t she a spectacle?
26239And then thinking that this was but early autumn, he added:"What will it be a month later?"
26239And what is the son of W. W. Norcross doing out here in the Forest Service?"
26239And what started you back without your father?"
26239And where is Tony?
26239And yet what can I do?"
26239Are all the girls out in the valley like you?"
26239Are you going to spend some time at the Mill?"
26239Are you hungry?"
26239Are you sure you want him?"
26239Are you the ranger?"
26239Are you warming up?"
26239As he took his seat McFarlane said:"You stayed in camp till yesterday afternoon, did you?"
26239As the night deepened and the cold air stung, he asked:"Have you plenty of blankets for a bed?"
26239Back of all this talk, this argument, there remained still unanswered the most vital, most important question:"Shall I speak of marriage at this time?
26239Berrie McFarlane, what are you doing over in this forsaken hole?
26239But do you know who he is?
26239But if he takes you and stays in Colorado he ca n''t expect me to share the profits of my business with him, can he?
26239By the way, is this ranger Settle married?"
26239Ca n''t he put his own horse out?
26239Ca n''t you hear me?
26239Ca n''t you persuade him to do so?"
26239Can he stand it?"
26239Can you fish?"
26239Colorado''s a big place, and there are plenty other fine ranges for men of your complaint-- why not try Routt County?
26239Come out to fish, I s''pose?"
26239Could such a creature of the open air be content with the walls of a city?
26239Did he make trouble?"
26239Did he overtake''em?"
26239Did n''t he come over with you?"
26239Did you come to an understanding?"
26239Did you sleep at all?"
26239Did you sleep?"
26239Did your father learn of that adventure?"
26239Do n''t you know where you are?"
26239Do n''t you see that it is your duty to let me stay here where I can build up on your cooking?"
26239Do n''t you wish it would last forever?"
26239Do you feel like riding down the hill?"
26239Do you have to go to the stable with him?
26239Do you hear?
26239Do you know where that is?"
26239Do you want her cross- examined as to what basis there was for this gossip?
26239Do you_ know_ how fine you are physically?
26239Does he ever sorrow over your not being a boy?"
26239Does he realize how much you have to do with the management of his forest?
26239Does n''t Mrs. Belden know?"
26239Ever been in the Tyrol?"
26239Great man I''d be in a windfall-- wouldn''t I?"
26239Has he got to go away?"
26239Have n''t you noticed that the women who live out here carefully avoid convenient and artistic dress?
26239Have you ever been to New York?"
26239Have you figured on these things?"
26239Have you seen Moore and his party?"
26239He fixed another penetrating look upon her face, and his voice was vibrant with anxiety as he said:"You do n''t think there''s anything-- wrong?"
26239He jumped you, did n''t he?"
26239He said:"Will you let me use your telephone to Meeker''s?"
26239He seemed to silently ask:"Well, what''s all this?
26239He worked as silently as he could; but the girl again spoke, with sweet authority:"Have n''t you gone to bed yet?"
26239He''s told you of his rich father, has n''t he?"
26239Her face shone cordially, as she called out:"Well, how do you stack up this morning?"
26239Her head drooped to hide her face, and he went on:"Why do you care for me?
26239His manner was serious, and his voice gravely gentle as he said:"I hope that telegram does not call you away?"
26239Hitting the high spots?"
26239How are you feeling this morning?"
26239How are you getting on with those plats?"
26239How are you standing it?"
26239How can I repay you?"
26239How can she be so happy without me?
26239How could I have overslept like this?
26239How could she turn Landon down for a savage like that?"
26239How did Cliff happen to know just where you were?
26239How did I come to do it?
26239How did he happen to meet you?"
26239How do you feel by now?
26239How do you feel this_ morning_?"
26239How do you happen to be here?
26239How do you stand it?"
26239How is everything?"
26239How is mother, and how are the girls?"
26239How many millions of times had this scene been enacted on the long march of the borderman from the Susquehanna to the Bear Tooth Range?
26239How much does the old woman know at present?"
26239How will you live without my aid?
26239How would the stern, methodical old business man regard this slovenly ranch and its primitive ways?
26239I hope you got some sleep?"
26239I thought cowgirls could n''t walk?"
26239I thought he was a''lunger''--""A what?"
26239I wonder if I could?
26239I wonder if your father realizes how efficient you are?
26239I''d like to do so; and may I use your desk?
26239I''ll be obliged to report to you, wo n''t I?"
26239I''ll speak to him if you like?"
26239I''m going to ask your mother, if I may not do so?"
26239Illustration: HER FACE SHONE AS SHE CALLED OUT:"WELL, HOW DO YOU STACK UP THIS MORNING?"
26239Is he badly hurt?"
26239Is he, by any chance, a relative?"
26239Is it morning?"
26239Is n''t he with you?"
26239Is n''t it nice to own a roof and four walls?
26239Is that true?"
26239Is there anything I can do for you?"
26239Is your outfit ready?"
26239It will be deep night before you can make it--""Do n''t you think the Supervisor would want me to camp here to- night and do what I could for you?
26239It would help some, would n''t it?"
26239It''s all the way down- hill-- and steep?"
26239Kind of cowgirl, eh?"
26239Landon worships you-- you know that-- don''t you?"
26239Let''s see, Yale is in the state of Connecticut, is n''t it?"
26239May I do so?
26239Now, who do you suppose it can be?
26239Perhaps he''d come up here if you asked him to do so?"
26239Piano practice?"
26239Shall I call the Supervisor?"
26239Soon these twigs broke into flame, and Berrie, awakened by the crackle of the pine branches, called out:"Is it daylight?"
26239Suppose Cliff should come back to testify?"
26239Suppose I send Tony along?"
26239Suppose a fellow breaks a leg on one of those high trails?"
26239Suppose they call daughter to the stand?
26239That''s at the lake, I reckon?"
26239The north- bound coach got away first, and as the girl came out to take her place, Norcross said:"Wo n''t you have my seat with the driver?"
26239The other appeared a little alarmed,"What are they-- bandits?"
26239The young passenger sprang to the ground and politely said:"May I help you in?"
26239Then to Wayland:"Well, boy, how did you stand it?"
26239Then, with a rush of tender remorse:"Why did n''t you tell me to stop?
26239Thereupon Wayland called:"Can I get you anything, Miss Berrie?
26239These few days have made us comrades, have n''t they-- comrades of the trail?
26239They ca n''t make me do that, can they?"
26239To what deeps would his rage descend if he should come to know of it?
26239Turning a wan glance upon her, he bitterly asked:"Must I always play the weakling before you?
26239Was Tony here last night when you came?"
26239Wayland called out:"The air feels like Thanksgiving morning, does n''t it?"
26239Wayland, hearing their voices, called out, with feeble humor:"Will some one please turn on the steam in my room?"
26239Well, how are ye all, anyway?"
26239What about Norcross?
26239What about the outfit?
26239What are you doing out here, if it''s a fair question?"
26239What are you doing over here?"
26239What are_ you_ doing over here, may I ask?"
26239What can he do to earn a living?
26239What did it?
26239What difference does it make?
26239What does it matter what people say?"
26239What for?"
26239What happened then?"
26239What have I done?
26239What is your plan?
26239What makes you so hot?"
26239What rôle shall I play?
26239What shall I do?"
26239What was the row about?"
26239What was your school?"
26239What will Cliff say?"
26239What would Clifford Belden do now?
26239What would I do if you should have pneumonia to- morrow?
26239What would you advise Wayland to do if you knew I was hard against his marrying you?
26239What''s the use of my trying to live?"
26239What''s the use?
26239When Wayland came in the Supervisor inquired:"Do you feel able to ride back over the hill to- day?"
26239When did Moore and his party arrive?"
26239When do you plan for to pull out?"
26239When you going up to the mill?"
26239Where did you leave the Supervisor?"
26239Where have you been?"
26239Where''s your dad?
26239Where''s your outfit?"
26239Who are these women?"
26239Who will keep house for you?"
26239Who will look after the ranch?
26239Who would have thought it could rain like this after so beautiful a morning?"
26239Why did n''t you run?"
26239Why did n''t you tell me who you were?"
26239Why do n''t we camp here and watch the sun go down and the moon rise?
26239Why does she go around with her sleeves rolled up that way, and-- and her dress open at the throat?"
26239Why not let me come here and board?
26239Why not make yourself a sort of vicarious atonement?"
26239Why not spend another night on the trail?
26239Why should I?
26239Why should he jump Norcross?"
26239Why should he?
26239Wo n''t that make more talk?"
26239Wo n''t you introduce me?"
26239Wo n''t you sit down?"
26239Wo n''t you sit down?"
26239Wonder what that cowboy thought of me?"
26239Would it be a source of comfort to them as well as a joy to her?"
26239Would n''t it be better for her to suffer for a little while now than to make a mistake that may last a lifetime?"
26239Would n''t it be wonderful if I got so I could ride and walk as you do, for instance?
26239Would you like some warm water?"
26239You did suffer, did n''t you?
26239You know my daughter Siona?"
26239You know what I mean, do n''t you?"
26239Your feet are soaked now, are n''t they?"
26239_ Is_ there anything in this Forest Service for a weakling like me?"
29407And Kedsty?
29407And O''Connor found out all this?
29407And Ponte, Kinoo, Mooie--?
29407And he knows you are here, of course?
29407And the reason for your suspicion?
29407And then-- what?
29407And you have come to help me-- to pay me for what I tried to do for you? 29407 And you make this confession knowing that you are about to die?"
29407And you refuse to confess your motive?
29407And you?
29407And, by the way, what did you think of the young lady?
29407Are you comfortable, little Gray Goose?
29407Are you listening?
29407Are you wet, little Gray Goose?
29407But if you should n''t?
29407But our greatest danger of being caught is right now, is n''t it?
29407But there must be personal affairs, affairs which you would like to entrust, perhaps, to me?
29407But why_ hiding_?
29407But-- perhaps-- in a sheltered place--?
29407Can you remember that we were, Gray Goose?
29407Did n''t you ever notice, O''Connor, that in a certain light under poplar trees one''s face is sometimes ghastly?
29407Did you-- er-- see this other gentleman kill John Barkley?
29407Do n''t you believe in God?
29407Do you know,she said,"that according to an old and sacred code of the North you belong to me?"
29407Do you understand, Marette? 29407 Even if I tell you-- soon-- that I killed Barkley?"
29407Good God, do you mean to tell me you do n''t know, Kent?
29407Has some one else been confessing?
29407Have I got to go all over it again?
29407Have n''t you seen O''Connor? 29407 How easily some men lose their tempers, do n''t they-- Jeems?"
29407How soon can you be ready, Marette?
29407I did make one pretty thorough confession, did n''t I, Father?
29407I do n''t believe you did, and Inspector Kedsty does n''t believe it-- yet the mighty queer part of it is--"What?
29407I have said a lot in a short time, have n''t I? 29407 Is it because of the girl hiding up at your bungalow, Kedsty?"
29407Is n''t it possible for a decent man to kill another man and not be called a liar when he tells about it? 29407 Is she a young woman?"
29407It has n''t always been like this, has it, Fingers?
29407It seems only yesterday-- or so?
29407Laselle-- Jean Laselle?
29407Marette, where is Kedsty?
29407Marette, you believe me?
29407Marette,he cried,"where are we going?"
29407Mercer?
29407Mind if I smoke with you?
29407Most men were fighters in those days of the gold rushes, were n''t they, Fingers? 29407 O''Connor, if you do n''t believe a dying man''s word-- you have n''t much respect for death, have you?"
29407Old? 29407 Or-- if I told you-- that I-- killed-- Kedsty?"
29407Pay you?
29407Tell me, Gray Goose-- what happened?
29407The Indian?
29407Was n''t a kingdom lost once upon a time because some fellow did n''t have a horseshoe? 29407 Were you asleep, Kent?"
29407What if you should n''t die?
29407What makes you think you are dying?
29407What would you do?
29407Where is Cardigan?
29407Where is she? 29407 Where is she?"
29407Why did n''t you wait?
29407Will the rain wipe out our footprints, Jeems?
29407Will you be ready in ten minutes?
29407Will you unlace them and pull them off for me, Jeems?
29407Will you-- Jeems? 29407 Wonderful black hair, blue eyes, wears high- heeled shoes just about half as big as your hand-- and very beautiful?"
29407Worse, is n''t it?
29407Would it seem more homelike if I smoked?
29407Yes, Marette-- why the devil have you come to see me at just the moment I''m due to explode? 29407 Yes, you see the point, Jeems, do n''t you?
29407Yes--?
29407You are James Kent, are n''t you?
29407You believe that I love you, that I did n''t kill John Barkley, that I am going to fight for you as long as God gives me breath to fight?
29407You believe that, Jeems?
29407You do n''t? 29407 You fainted-- and it happened then?"
29407You have heard-- about-- Ben Tatman?
29407You heard_ that_, Mercer?
29407You know the great Sulphur Country beyond Fort Simpson, westward between the Two Nahannis?
29407You mean take time to think up a story that will hold water,_ mon père_? 29407 You mean, Jeems, that if one of three possible things does n''t happen, we''ll get through safely?"
29407You mean-- you were unconscious?
29407You were at school there?
29407You-- didn''t hear?
29407You-- you did n''t come down the stair?
29407Add another egg, will you, Mercer?
29407And I want to know-- it''s the biggest thing I EVER wanted to know-- did you kill Barkley?"
29407And I''ve been wondering, why did n''t she wear bush- country shoes or moccasins?"
29407And Kedsty was n''t expecting her, was he?
29407And after that?
29407And he was dying-- and even this stranger girl called him a liar?
29407And if I am, will you shake hands?"
29407And mother Anne''s father--""Yes--?"
29407And now, why?"
29407And now, will you listen to it?
29407And please do n''t forget the cigars, will you, Father?"
29407And the question which Kent found it impossible to answer was, had Marette Radisson really gone down the river on that scow?
29407And then she said,"Jeems, if we should be caught by the Police-- it would probably be quite soon, would n''t it?"
29407And then,"Jeems--""Yes, Niska, Little Goddess--?"
29407And was she going with him?
29407And what''s your other name, and how old are you, and what do you want of me?"
29407And why be unhappy because one has only a little while to live?
29407And you came to me, and I''m here with you now, because--""Of what?"
29407And-- if you do n''t mind-- will you turn off the light?
29407And-- see here, old man!--will you do a dying man the biggest favor he ever asked in his life?"
29407Are n''t you a little nervous, sitting so near to a man who''s ready to explode while you''re looking at him?"
29407Are n''t you?"
29407Are your eggs properly done, sir?"
29407Blame Cardigan for giving him back his life?
29407Blame him for the glorious knowledge that he was not going to die?
29407But what were ten years there as compared with forty or fifty under the sod?
29407But why, still later, had he almost been done to death?
29407But you did n''t come to talk religion?"
29407But you, Jeems?
29407Can you guess where it was?"
29407Confound it, man,_ did you_?"
29407Did you see Rossand''s fleet leaving for up north?
29407Do n''t happen to know where she is staying or why she is at the Landing, do you?"
29407Do n''t you know--?"
29407Do you care if I ask you about the girl?"
29407Do you mind telling me who it is?"
29407Do you think what I have just said will free Sandy McTrigger?"
29407Does that comfort you-- like the woman you prayed the Lord for?"
29407Father Layonne or-- Kedsty?"
29407Fingers, am I right?
29407Funny, is n''t it, that their names should be so strangely alike-- Mary and Marette?
29407Great heaven,_ mon père_, do n''t you believe me?"
29407Had Marette prepared for that?
29407Had she gone away?
29407Have n''t you come in touch with the Police anywhere within the last year?
29407He planned it all, every move, even to the screaming in front of your cell--""You mean-- Kedsty?"
29407How long ago was it that Mercer had seen Kedsty?
29407How long have I got?"
29407If I''m alive tomorrow morning, will you tell me?"
29407If she belonged in the North, if she was a part of it, why was she taking all of this apparently worthless footwear with her?
29407If she was from Montreal, why was she going north?
29407Is it because this is my last breakfast?"
29407Is n''t it splendid?
29407Is that it?"
29407It is-- Fingers, is it inspiration?
29407It was then that she had given him that splendid view of her amazingly long lashes and had countered softly,"What if you should n''t die?"
29407Jeems, Jeems, you are not like those other men I learned to hate?
29407Jeems, do you see that hump on his left shoulder, like a great epaulet?"
29407Kedsty?"
29407Kent?"
29407Knowing that he was going to live, why had she not remained to help him if she could?
29407Looking back over your life, does it seem so very long ago that you were a boy, a small boy?"
29407Now it would be a topping joke if some other complication should set in and fool us all again, would n''t it?"
29407Remember Follette-- and Ladouceur?
29407Remember how we''ve always played up to the big hunch?
29407Shall I tell him you are prepared to see him?"
29407Shall I tell you about it, Marette?"
29407Shall I tell you why I came to see you at Doctor Cardigan''s?
29407Shall we not talk about them?"
29407She was pretty, was n''t she?"
29407Sounds incredible, does n''t it?
29407That is it-- Jeems?"
29407The question which seated itself most insistently in his mind was, why had she come?
29407Then at last the yearning overcame him to have the soul speak out, that his God might be more merciful, and he said:"My boy, you are sorry?
29407Then he turned, and said:"Which will you have, Kent-- a wash- up and breakfast, or a visitor?"
29407Then, with rather startling unexpectedness, she asked him,"Where will they look for us tomorrow?"
29407There were only two things I loved, Jeems--""What?"
29407Understand, Marette?
29407Understand, old man?"
29407Was her relationship to Sandy McTrigger such that inquisitiveness alone had brought her to see the man who had saved him?
29407Was it conceivable that she was playing that game against Kedsty?
29407Was it not possible that she, too, was playing a game in giving the impression that she was leaving down- river on the hidden scow?
29407Was it possible that Kedsty himself had sent her for some reason which he could not even guess at?
29407Was it simply that he should be more closely watched, or was it a command to move him to one of the cells close to the detachment office?
29407Was it, Kent?"
29407Was it, after all, merely a matter of curiosity?
29407Was n''t that it?"
29407Was she mad or playing an amazingly improper joke?
29407Was the fact of murder necessarily branded in one''s face?
29407What could be the motive of her visit-- unless it was to thank him for the confession that had given Sandy McTrigger his freedom?
29407What has brought about the change in you?
29407What is her name?"
29407What is your game?
29407What was her power over Kedsty?
29407What was she to Kedsty?
29407What was the order that the Inspector had written on a sheet of paper for Constable Pelly?
29407What''s your game, old man?"
29407When none came, he demanded,"Was that according to the Criminal Code?
29407Where is she?"
29407Where was Fingers?
29407Who was Marette Radisson?
29407Who''s the visitor?
29407Why did n''t we make for the river?
29407Why did you confess to a crime which you did not commit?"
29407Why did you stop for_ him_?"
29407Why do so many believe that I lie?"
29407Why had she come to Athabasca Landing?
29407Why had she come to see him?
29407Why have we come to Kedsty''s?
29407Why should I blame Cardigan?
29407Why should they wait?
29407Why should they waste time under Kedsty''s roof when freedom lay out there for the taking?
29407Why was it that Kedsty would like to see her dead?
29407Why was it that every one seemed to disbelieve him?
29407Why was she hiding under his roof?
29407Why was she in his house?
29407Why, then, had she gone away?
29407Why?
29407Will you arrange it?"
29407Will you arrange these things for me?
29407Will you come now?"
29407Will you forgive me for bringing up this memory that must be precious to you, only that you might more fully understand what I am going to say?
29407Will you forgive me?"
29407Will you promise to stay here, no matter what happens down there, no matter what you may hear?
29407Will you, Gray Goose?"
29407Will you-- no matter what happens-- if I promise-- when I come back-- to kiss you?"
29407Would Father Layonne come again in the morning?
29407Would a sane person wear pumps with heels like those up here?"
29407Would n''t you fight again today for her?"
29407Would you care to have me kiss you?"
29407You are dying?"
29407You do n''t mind a fellow saying all this-- when he is going to pop off soon-- do you?"
29407You have n''t forgotten-- you will never forget-- Ben Tatman?"
29407You repent that you killed John Barkley?"
29407You will not INSIST?
29407You will not be lonely?"
29407You''re not going?"
26434And did n''t he tell you who he was?
26434And did you ever run across Big Reuben again?
26434And did you hold on to the rifle all the time?
26434And do you expect to go prospecting for this vein of galena in the spring?
26434And the big tree, pushing its roots down into the vein, has brought away a piece of it, eh?
26434And what did you do next?
26434And what did you say to him?
26434And what do you suppose he''ll do?
26434And what do you use it for?
26434And what shall you do, father? 26434 And where do you get it?"
26434And you did n''t guess who he was?
26434Any idea who he was?
26434Anybody hurt?
26434Are you proposing to uncover it, Tom?
26434Are you thinking you''ve found the trail of the ore- thief?
26434As for you, you have n''t, eh? 26434 Belonging to you?"
26434But meanwhile where''s Peter?
26434But that being the case, how did you come to discover it yourself? 26434 But what are those other, smaller, clouds of smoke?"
26434But why should he want to get there first?
26434But why should they?
26434Ca n''t I come, too?
26434Can you see that, Phil?
26434Can you see the water?
26434Clever fellow, is n''t he?
26434Did n''t want to be seen, eh?
26434Did you?
26434Do n''t they? 26434 Do n''t they?"
26434Do n''t you think I might venture down and help you, Joe?
26434Do you know Tom Connor, then?
26434Do you know what I think?
26434Do you mean,I asked,"that there is a lead- mine in the bottom of the pool?"
26434Do you see, Phil, they tread in his tracks all the time?
26434Do you see?
26434Do you suppose he can have crossed our valley, Phil?
26434Do you suppose it''s Yetmore, Joe?
26434Do you think you can? 26434 Do you think you could walk with help?"
26434Do you think you would be able to find my house again?
26434Do you? 26434 Does this creek always freeze up like this?"
26434Father,said I, as we sat together at breakfast,"may Joe and I go and trail him up?
26434Gone back to the cabin, has he?
26434Has he forgotten something? 26434 Has he gone?"
26434Have they lost something?
26434Have to get up early to get around the boss, eh?
26434Have you got any twine in your pocket?
26434Have you heard from them since they left?
26434He''s a fine fellow-- isn''t he, Phil? 26434 He''s down below, is n''t he?"
26434How about our bridge?
26434How are we to know,said he,"that Yetmore did n''t steal this ore himself?
26434How are you, Tom?
26434How are you, boys?
26434How are you, old man?
26434How deep is it here?
26434How deep is it, I wonder?
26434How did you escape the slide?
26434How did you know?
26434How do you figure it out, Phil?
26434How do you know that, Joe?
26434How does Tom come to be out of funds at this time of year? 26434 How soon did you go to bed?"
26434How wide is it?
26434How''s the air down there?
26434How, Tom?
26434How?
26434Hurt, Peter?
26434Hurt, Tom?
26434I suppose you''d like to be the first, would n''t you?
26434If Long John is not prospecting for Yetmore or himself either, being supposedly in hiding, what was he doing on the''bubble''yesterday?
26434In Tom Connor''s house?
26434Information about what cart- tracks?
26434Is a porphyry outcrop a desirable thing to find? 26434 Is it at all dangerous?"
26434Is it safer than taking it down to the express office?
26434Is it you? 26434 Is that so?
26434Is that so?
26434Is that so?
26434Is that so?
26434Is that why you went to the stable? 26434 Is the bottom solid or sandy?"
26434Is there?
26434It ca n''t be Tom, himself, can it?
26434It was this evening, was n''t it, Phil?
26434It would be well, would n''t it, to tell Tom Connor about it?
26434It''s against the law all right; but what does that matter to you? 26434 Long John?"
26434May I look at it?
26434Maybe,said the storekeeper presently,"maybe you know something about that leak?"
26434Oh, do you?
26434Oh, that''s who it is, is it? 26434 Should we build the wall close around the present fence, or should we increase the size of the corral while we are about it?"
26434So you made a strike, did you?
26434That explosion? 26434 That was a rascally piece of work, was n''t it?"
26434That''s the case in a nutshell,my father assented;"and, as I said before: What are we going to do about it?"
26434The row of stumps is our goal, all right, but how are we going to get down there? 26434 Then, what do you propose to do?"
26434Trade pretty brisk?
26434Wait a moment, boys, will you?
26434Want anybody, boys?
26434Was there ever such a lucky chance? 26434 Well, Joe,"said I, when we had safely reached the rocks again,"it''s just as well we did n''t both go down together after all, is n''t it?"
26434Well, John, what is it?
26434Well, do n''t you think it''s high time you changed your habits?
26434Well, if he did n''t,remarked my companion,"how did he get his feet wet?
26434Well, what kind of a vein is it, anyhow?
26434Well, what of that, Joe?
26434Well, what of that?
26434Well, you do n''t suppose the thief would walk over this rough mountain with his feet wrapped up in rags, do you? 26434 What are they up to?"
26434What are_ you_ doing up here? 26434 What brings you here?"
26434What can he be doing, I wonder?
26434What do you mean?
26434What do you mean?
26434What do you mean?
26434What do you propose to do, then, Joe?
26434What do you think, Joe?
26434What does''668''stand for?
26434What is it made of, I wonder?
26434What is it, Joe?
26434What is it, then?
26434What is it?
26434What is it?
26434What should he want to do that for?
26434What was it, Joe?
26434What will Yetmore say? 26434 What will you do now?"
26434What''s ground ice?
26434What''s happened, Phil?
26434What''s he going to do about it, I wonder?
26434What''s the best way of setting about it?
26434What''s the matter, Joe?
26434What''s the matter?
26434What''s the use of that kind of talk?
26434What''s this smell of coal oil?
26434What''s up?
26434What''s up?
26434What''s your pile of stones for, Joe?
26434What?
26434When did you put that in?
26434When_ do_ they get home?
26434Where do you propose to take me?
26434Where does all this water come from?
26434Where does it go?
26434Where to?
26434Where were you, Joe, when you saw it come down?
26434Which direction?
26434Which half do you take?
26434Which of the ponies do you think I had better take this morning, Phil? 26434 Who''s that?"
26434Who''s the thing belong to, anyhow?
26434Who''s to go down, Joe, you or I?
26434Whoever would have thought there was a house in here?
26434Why do they leave it in the mine?
26434Why do you ask?
26434Why do you say that?
26434Why in the spring particularly?
26434Why, are you going to quit, Tom?
26434Why, what''s all this?
26434Why, where have we got to, Tom?
26434Why? 26434 Why?"
26434Why?
26434Why?
26434Why?
26434Why?
26434Wo n''t you come home with us to- night?
26434Yes, but how are we to divert it?
26434Yetmore''s been here, I suppose?
26434Yetmore''s ground?
26434You are Mr. Crawford''s boys, then, are you? 26434 You do?
26434You say there''s about five hundred pounds of the ore: have they taken it all out already?
26434You seem very sure,remarked Peter;"but do you think you could recognize him so far off?"
26434You''re late to- night, are n''t you?
2643478"WE SAW BEFORE US A VERY CURIOUS SIGHT"155"''CAN FOLKS SEE IN FROM OUTSIDE?''"
26434And as Sox flew back to his perch, Peter continued:"How far down did you leave your ponies, boys?"
26434And do you suppose Yetmore recognized the sand as galena ore?
26434And the Crawford ranch?
26434And what sort of a man_ is_ your wild man now you''ve caught him?"
26434And why does he live all by himself like that?"
26434Any clue to your ore- thieves?"
26434Are you in a hurry to get home?"
26434As we walked along, my mother said:"So the hermit has been staying with you, has he?
26434At length:"Where does it come from, Joe?"
26434Bring down the pick, will you?
26434But how about the plowing, Phil?
26434But how are we going to prove it, Joe?"
26434But how is it you are on hand so promptly?
26434But now we are here, the question is: How are we going to get you out?"
26434But was there no way by which Tom Connor might be delayed in starting, if only for a day or two?
26434But where had he dropped from so suddenly?
26434But where was he going?
26434But which way did he go, Joe; across the road or down it?"
26434Ca n''t you hear''em squealing?
26434Can folks see in from outside?"
26434Can we make it?"
26434Can you guess what I expected to find?"
26434Could n''t we----Look here, Phil: could n''t we set up a ladder to reach from the bottom up to the bulge?"
26434Did he leave any tracks?"
26434Did he tell you anything about it, Seth?"
26434Did it scare you when I went scooting down the slide on my back?"
26434Did n''t we, Phil?"
26434Did you expect to find it gone?"
26434Did you expect to get work as a miner?"
26434Did you find any of it in that hole up there?"
26434Did you see it start, Joe?"
26434Do n''t you think it was a bit risky to go galloping about the country with that game leg of yours?"
26434Do you know who_ I_ am?
26434Do you notice how they all float clean side up?
26434Do you see how it is made up of shining cubes of some black mineral?
26434Do you see that black stone stuck among the roots?
26434Do you suppose he''ll venture to go down the rope, Phil?"
26434Do you think that''s likely?"
26434Does he expect that Yetmore will be content to let the matter rest where it is?"
26434Does it amount to much?"
26434Does the boss want me?"
26434First or second?"
26434Go prospecting?"
26434Got here just in time, did n''t you?
26434Got my message, did you?"
26434Had he followed us back from the mountain?
26434Had he seen us coming in the early morning, and, making a circuit out of our sight, lain in wait for us as we returned?
26434Have you found the vein, then?"
26434He bears his disappointment pretty well, does n''t he?"
26434He found Mrs. Appleby and Seth tidying up preparatory to closing the store, and stepping in, he said,"You do n''t take in lodgers, I suppose, ma''am?
26434He paused for a moment, and then, with much earnestness of manner, went on:"How am I to thank you, boys?
26434How are we to get up there, Peter?
26434How did you find the ore?
26434How do you suppose_ he_ came to hear of the black sand?"
26434How far up is it to your house?"
26434How long a tunnel would it take, do you calculate?"
26434How many men get rich at it?
26434How much better off were we?
26434How shall we manage it, Joe?
26434How will he dispose of them?"
26434Hughy has four children, has n''t he?"
26434I did so at once, and then asked:"Can you see the bottom, Joe?"
26434Is it an''indication''?"
26434Is that the story?"
26434Is the pool the same depth all over?"
26434Is there no way of sending that beast off?
26434Joe looked at me with raised eyebrows, as much as to say,"Do you know him?"
26434Make it?
26434Now, what do you think?"
26434Peter listened attentively, and then asked:"Are you sure there was only one of them?"
26434Poke it out with the shovel, will you?
26434Pretty dirty stuff, is n''t it?
26434Pretty early for prospecting, is n''t it?"
26434Pry out one or two of those, will you?"
26434Put in a second window?"
26434Saddle my pony, too, will you?
26434See?"
26434Shall we go up there?
26434So saying, he leaped from his horse and seizing me by the arm, cried:"You''re not joking, are you, Phil?
26434So the putty- faced boy sleeps in the store, does he?"
26434Sold it to Mr. Crawford, eh?
26434Suppose a prospector does strike a vein of ore: what is the common result?
26434THE DRAINING OF THE"FORTY RODS"313 ILLUSTRATIONS PAGE"THERE WAS BIG REUBEN LOOKING DOWN AT US"_ Frontispiece_ 22"AH, SOX, IS THAT YOU?''"
26434That you, Patsy?
26434That you?"
26434The little gray is the one, Phil, do n''t you think?"
26434The man they call''The Yellow Pup''?
26434The man turned, and seeing the bird standing there with its head on one side, said, laughingly:"Ah, Sox, is that you?
26434The pinto?"
26434The''Hermit''?
26434The''Raven''?
26434The''Socrates''?"
26434Then----Oh, what''s the use?
26434There''s the ranch, too, that green spot in the mesa; you would n''t think it was nearly a mile square, would you?"
26434This is the right way to get there, is n''t it?"
26434Was it up at the Pelican?"
26434Was there, Joe?"
26434Well, shall we go ahead and speak to him?"
26434What are we going to do about it, boys?
26434What are we going to name it?
26434What are you doing down here?
26434What are you wearing your rubber boots for?"
26434What can any one be burning sulphur up here for?
26434What can you suggest?"
26434What did it mean?
26434What do you say, Phil?
26434What do you say?"
26434What do you say?"
26434What do you think of that?"
26434What have you done with it?"
26434What is it?"
26434What makes you think that, Joe?"
26434What of it?"
26434What time is it?"
26434What was he doing?"
26434What were you and he doing, by the way?
26434What would you have done if I''d happened to have left the drift?"
26434What''s all this mystery about?"
26434What''s new?"
26434What''s that?"
26434What''s the matter with you?"
26434What''s the matter, I wonder?
26434What''s the news, Connor?
26434What''s your name?"
26434What''s your opinion, Phil?"
26434When does Tom quit work on the Pelican?"
26434Where had he come from?
26434Where is it?
26434Where''s your master?"
26434Where?"
26434Which do you want?
26434Who brought you down?"
26434Who is he, Mr. Crawford?
26434Who is he?"
26434Who to?"
26434Who''s to suspect, anyhow?"
26434Why did your companion go off so suddenly?"
26434Why do you ask?"
26434Why should we?
26434Why?"
26434Will you?"
26434Would he be likely to know it in the form of sand?"
26434Yetmore?"
26434Yetmore?"
26434Yetmore?"
26434You are the two boys I''ve seen cutting timbers down there, are you?
26434You know Arty Burns?--works on the night shift?
26434You know that deep, rocky gorge where Big Reuben had his den?
26434You know that little treeless''bubble''that stands on the edge of the cañon only about half a mile up- stream from here?
26434You''ll stay over to- morrow, of course, and see Tom uncover the vein?"
26434[ Illustration:"''AH, SOX, IS THAT YOU?''"]
26434[ Illustration:"''CAN FOLKS SEE IN FROM OUTSIDE?''"]
26434cried Joe, as he bounced out of bed; and,"Where is it?"
16889A hundred dollars a month for your expenses,said the President, making a memorandum in his notebook,"and what is your time worth?"
16889A little hotter than ever, eh, Abbott? 16889 A rotter, am I?"
16889Abbott, will you telephone Señor Juan Cadiz and ask him to meet me at my house at ten thirty to- night? 16889 After telling us to keep to the right, what did you try to do yourself?
16889After you have finished this work for the President, then what, Diana?
16889Again? 16889 Agnew,"he said,"can you and Jonas manage to let the Ida down, with both Milton and me aboard?"
16889Ai n''t he a grand looking man?
16889Ai n''t that just the usual luck? 16889 Ai n''t they a handsome pair, Na- che?"
16889Ai n''t you going to eat your eggs?
16889All very well, of course,agreed the President,"but what of the big game back of it all-- what''s the means of fighting that?"
16889Am I as bad as that?
16889And after that?
16889And do n''t you appreciate the difference between a home meal like this and one you pick up in Minetta Lane?
16889And how about that deal of ours, Smith?
16889And how many times do you suppose you''ve told me you were willing to change it, Jonas?
16889And if you do interfere,persisted the President,"you realize fully that it will be a nasty fight?"
16889And may I ask what that is?
16889And may I ask, Mr. President, why you asked this gentleman to interfere with my prerogatives?
16889And now, Mr. President, what can I do for you?
16889And now,he said,"I dare not go back to camp without at least discharging my gun, do you?"
16889And shown and explained by her?
16889And what are you? 16889 And what happens, if the star falls?"
16889And when did Mr. Milton break his leg?
16889And who is to be the judge in the matter?
16889And who was Luigi?
16889And why do you consider yourself competent to deal with these problems?
16889And you know now how to end this miserable affair?
16889Any hunting?
16889Any one else there you want to tell me about before the procession begins?
16889Anybody hurt?
16889Anything any of us can do for your comfort, Diana?
16889Anything better there than there was last night?
16889Are any of''em drinking?
16889Are n''t you going to wait to learn what the doctor says about Milton?
16889Are n''t you too tired?
16889Are there snakes round here?
16889Are you all set, Ag and Jonas?
16889Are you cold, Diana? 16889 Are you comin''round to- night, Liz?"
16889Are you game to take to the boats, Jonas?
16889Are you glad you took the trip down the river, Judge?
16889Are you happy, dear?
16889Are you ready, Harden?
16889Are you ready, Matey?
16889Are you still traveling in circles?
16889Are you sure of that?
16889Are you sure you''re right, boss?
16889Are you willing to risk having the story told with the idea of disproving it, afterward? 16889 Aw, what difference does it make?"
16889Begin to cry, as Curly said? 16889 Boss, how would you feel about going to bed?
16889Boss,he said,"do n''t you ever think you ought to marry?"
16889Brown, was Fowler in on the trouble?
16889Business ai n''t been good, eh?
16889But Brown said his lawyers--"Brown''s lawyers? 16889 But do you think I''m a woman hater?"
16889But gee willikums, Judge, what''re we going to do without you?
16889But how come you to think this was rest, boss? 16889 But if she was my mother, how can I help being rotten?"
16889But what would they live on?
16889But why? 16889 But why?"
16889But wo n''t Abbott wire you?
16889Ca n''t I be with you this evening, Frank?
16889Ca n''t love but one boat at a time, eh, Jonas?
16889Ca n''t you stall''em off a little while?
16889Can that kid go all the way to the river?
16889Can you row?
16889Can you stand rotten hard luck without belly- aching?
16889Can you swim, Judge?
16889Can you tell me where I can buy some food?
16889Can you think of any method of persuading him that I am not a political rival, that I merely want to go to the Senate, when I have finished here?
16889Can you?
16889Coming over to- night?
16889Could you go to Mexico for me, in entire secrecy?
16889Curly, are you too tired to continue our last night''s talk?
16889Curly,he said,"is that stuff you have on Fowler and Brown, political, financial, or a matter of personal morals?"
16889Diana, do n''t you feel tired?
16889Diana, do you realize that you made no comment whatever on what I told you yesterday? 16889 Diana, have you seen your friend, the psychologist yet?"
16889Diana, how far are we from the nearest doctor?
16889Diana, what chance would I have of finding my father when you consider what my mother was? 16889 Diana,"said Enoch huskily,"you are going on with your work, as earnestly as ever, are you not?"
16889Diana,said Enoch, under cover of the conversation at the table,"before we start to- morrow, will you give me half an hour alone with you?"
16889Did Brown ever have decency toward a man''s seclusion?
16889Did Curly give you the facts?
16889Did Frank tell you about our talk down here?
16889Did I ever not sit up for you?
16889Did any one ever give you any hints about your father?
16889Did n''t Na- che give you that Navaho charm, Jonas?
16889Did n''t you do your best to undermine me with the President? 16889 Did the Indian Commissioner find work for Miss Allen?"
16889Did you attend the ceremony Na- che sent word to you about?
16889Did you beg Brown to spare me?
16889Did you ever talk to Indians?
16889Did you fellows find any pay gravel, coming down?
16889Did you folks go to sleep when I did?
16889Did you gather that Field''s story had anything to do with the present trouble with Mexico?
16889Did you get a good look at her, Jonas?
16889Did you really?
16889Did you take any other pictures during that period?
16889Discourages you?
16889Do I have to go down the Canyon?
16889Do n''t I know every place you go, boss? 16889 Do n''t I know the mind of my Diana?
16889Do n''t he shake any worse than this?
16889Do n''t you need another man?
16889Do n''t you think you went far enough with that matter before?
16889Do n''t you think, if it''s bad enough to make you cry, that it''s time you told a friend about it, Enoch?
16889Do you know him?
16889Do you know?
16889Do you like me, Enoch?
16889Do you like your mule, Enoch? 16889 Do you love me, Diana?"
16889Do you mean to tell me that a man of Mr. Huntingdon''s reputation and ability, still stoops to that sort of thing?
16889Do you realize,he said, quietly,"that in all the years of my memory no woman has caressed me so?
16889Do you recall that a number of newspapers took occasion then to sneer at government attempts to usurp State and commercial functions?
16889Do you recall the man Armstrong who was here six months ago with ideas on the functions of the Bureau of Education? 16889 Do you remember him?"
16889Do you remember that your mule slipped on the home trail and that I saved your life?
16889Do you suppose he''s had an accident?
16889Do you think I''m a woman hater, Miss Allen?
16889Do you think it will work, Diana?
16889Do you think that Na- che would mind our making free with her name?
16889Do you think that he had anything to do with the publishing of that canard about you, Huntingdon?
16889Do you think you can clear the matter up?
16889Do you think you can handle me the way you have the others? 16889 Do you think you could maybe sleep now, boss?"
16889Do you?
16889Do your needs stop with the Johnstown Lunch?
16889Does it make you sore to have me ask you questions?
16889Does it?
16889Does that suit you, Jonas?
16889Enoch, among the men you know, what is the opinion of a squealer?
16889Enoch, are you a friend of mine?
16889Enoch, shall you let that screed go unchallenged?
16889Enoch, what was there left to say when I could touch your hair and forehead so? 16889 Enoch, why are you breaking down now?"
16889Enoch, will you let me see the diary?
16889Enoch,there was a note of protest in Diana''s voice,"you are n''t going to make love to me on this trip, are you?"
16889Everybody ready to turn in?
16889Foley, let me come round and see him before you send him over the road, will you?
16889For the love of heaven, Diana, where did you folks meet?
16889For the love of heaven, Frank, what have you done to the boy?
16889Forr,said Milton,"do n''t you want to try your luck at some fish for supper?
16889Frank,said Nucky, when breakfast was over,"do you care if I talk to you some more about-- you know-- you know what you said last night?
16889From now on, where?
16889Had a look at it?
16889Hard, you were going to show Curly a placer claim around here, were n''t you?
16889Has he spoken of his mother to you since?
16889Has it ever occurred to you that Brown often picks up Fowler''s policies and quietly pushes them?
16889Has our friendship grown less since we camped at the placer mine?
16889Have Forr and Hard turned up?
16889Have I got to see her?
16889Have you a sound, fair, policy for Idaho water power, that will help Bill Jones in the same proportion that it helps you?
16889Have you a theory about it?
16889Have you folks any objection to our stopping here to make repairs?
16889Have you had enough desert to last you the rest of your life?
16889Have you had your supper yet, boss?
16889Have you told any one the er-- tale?
16889Have you told the President so?
16889He''s an engineer?
16889Hell? 16889 Home, Enoch?
16889Honest, Na- che?
16889Honest?
16889How about a fire?
16889How about the Ida?
16889How about the reporter who''s said to be on my trail?
16889How about the rest of you? 16889 How about this tale of Brown''s?"
16889How are you, Enoch?
16889How are you, Milton?
16889How are you, Nucky?
16889How can I talk if I do n''t turn round? 16889 How come Mr. Harden to think he could find him?"
16889How come it everybody ai n''t down here doing it right now?
16889How come that colored trash to be setting in the parlors of the government, boss?
16889How come you do n''t try to get a little rest, boss?
16889How come you think I''d soil my shadow letting that viper trail it, boss? 16889 How come you to be so hot, boss?"
16889How come you to be so tired to- night, boss?
16889How come you to think she loves him?
16889How could I? 16889 How did you come to do it?"
16889How do you do, Miss Allen?
16889How do you know I have n''t seen them, Jonas?
16889How do you know that?
16889How do you know what''s in your boss''s mind?
16889How do you know?
16889How does the work go?
16889How far is it to the river? 16889 How high do you think that peak is, Milton?"
16889How is he, Jonas?
16889How is it the country at large does n''t know of Fowler''s association with Brown?
16889How long have you and the Judge known each other, Diana?
16889How long will you be out?
16889How many miles have we made by this venture, Milton?
16889How many more have we, Diana?
16889How many''s there now?
16889How much do you love me, dear?
16889How much quarreling did you do?
16889How old were you when she died?
16889How shall we go about it, sir? 16889 How was that?"
16889How''d she go?
16889How''d you ever happen to come out here?
16889How, Enoch?
16889How? 16889 How?"
16889Huntingdon, why are they after Cheney?
16889I ca n''t help folks talking to me, can I?
16889I dined at the Indian Commissioner''s last night and whom do you think I took out? 16889 I dunno, ma''am,"answered Nucky,"Do you enjoy your supper?"
16889I fainted, did n''t I?
16889I suppose the two leading Indian ethnologists are Arkwind and Sherman, of the Smithsonian, are they not, Miss Allen?
16889I wonder how many times,said Milton,"I''ve told you chaps to load the grub half and half between the boats?
16889I wonder if Hard has found Forr, yet?
16889I wonder what uplifter he''s got after me now?
16889If we tie the rope to this pointed rock, I think we can lower ourselves, do n''t you?
16889In the meantime,interrupted Enoch, gruffly,"how about my trip down the Canyon?"
16889Is Abbott gone?
16889Is he a bronco?
16889Is he giving you a decent salary?
16889Is he sick or hurt?
16889Is it a good charm or a hoo- doo?
16889Is it?
16889Is n''t Miss Allen working nearer than eighty miles from here?
16889Is that so?
16889Is that so?
16889Is there anything Dad or I can do to facilitate your start, Enoch?
16889Is there more than one sort?
16889Is there some aspect of my work that interests you?
16889It''s pretty cold for sitting still so long, is n''t Jonas?
16889John an old friend of yours?
16889Jonas, do you know where Miss Diana is stopping?
16889Jonas, get out the grub supply, will you?
16889Jonas, old man, how long have I been eating this fodder for lunch?
16889Jonas, what have your friends to say about your trip?
16889Jonas, what''s the use? 16889 Jonas, you''ll stay and give us a feed, wo n''t you?"
16889Joy? 16889 Judge, are you any good with a gun?"
16889Judge, could n''t you complete the trip with us?
16889Judge, do you think you''ll feel up to starting to- morrow afternoon? 16889 Judge, you wrangle firewood while Mack and I just give this placer idea a ten minutes''trial, will you?"
16889Judge,asked Curly,"how about you and me having our conflab right after dinner?"
16889Judge?
16889Just Smith?
16889Just how much trouble are you going to make about the seal misunderstanding?
16889Just why,Enoch sipped his cup of tea calmly,"did you choose this occasion to tell me of your resentment?"
16889Kin any one do it?
16889Leaving? 16889 Lit out?
16889Look here, Abbott,said Enoch,"if it''s bad, I''ve got to fight it, have n''t I?"
16889Look here, Foley, has n''t he any friends at all?
16889Look here, just how much of a row are you fellows going to make about those mines in the Alaskan border country? 16889 Lucy, how am I to go on, year after year like this, with only my dream of you?
16889MacDougal Street and the dice, I suppose, eh? 16889 Made by this young lady?"
16889May I detain you, a moment, Mr. President? 16889 May I go with you?"
16889Me find you? 16889 Me?
16889Me? 16889 Might be rather serious, might it not, on a trip such as yours?"
16889Miss Allen, will you lunch with me?
16889Miss Allen,he said abruptly,"you saw the article in the Brown papers?"
16889Miss Diana,he said solemnly,"will you give me one of your long hairs?"
16889Mr. Abbott, will you ask the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to come in? 16889 Mr. Cheney,"asked Enoch, when Milton had gone,"do you think you could find out whether or not that fellow Ames has returned from Arizona?"
16889Mr. Curly,said Jonas,"will you let me see that nugget?"
16889Mr. Fowler, why did you break with me?
16889Mr. Milton, have you got anything I can mend the tarpaulins with that go over the decks?
16889Mr. President, ca n''t you make Mr. Huntingdon tell about his vacation?
16889Mr. President, why should n''t Fowler go to the White House? 16889 Mr. Seaton, have you been using bribery?"
16889My Lordy, boss, what''s happened? 16889 My time?
16889No? 16889 No?
16889No?
16889Not my mother?
16889Not the Washington Monument?
16889Now, just what did you do to kill time in the desert, Huntingdon?
16889Now, look here, Enoch, ca n''t I help you out of this scrape?
16889Now, my dear Mr. Secretary, what may we give you?
16889Now,inquired Enoch,"is that tact or superstition?"
16889Oh, and what''s the layer next to it?
16889On a bet?
16889One gets your purpose very clearly, when one recalls your Death and the Navajo, for instance, eh, Huntingdon?
16889Or must n''t I inquire?
16889Or than Field tying a stone to Mamie''s tail to keep her from braying to- night?
16889Orders, eh, Enoch?
16889Please, Judge, are you very cross with me for breaking in on you? 16889 Say, Ag, would you want our boat renamed the Na- che?"
16889Say, Mr. Milton, you know what I was thinking? 16889 Say, Mr. Seaton, ca n''t we stay one more day and you take the trip with us?"
16889Scared as ever, Jonas?
16889Shall I go ahead on the lines indicated?
16889Shall I help you with''em? 16889 Shall I unpack for you?"
16889Shall we try the descent now, Milton?
16889Shall you come to Washington this winter, Diana?
16889Shall you reveal your identity before you leave them?
16889So he was a gambler, was he?
16889So he''s a crook, is he? 16889 So you found your bad charge, old man, did n''t you?"
16889So you would swallow an insult and smile?
16889Some leader, I am, eh?
16889Some one left you some money?
16889Sounds rotten, huh?
16889Starlight and you and Na- che''s little song,murmured Enoch;"I am hard to satisfy, am I not?"
16889Suppose that he openly ties to Brown, Huntingdon?
16889Sweetheart,he whispered,"what have I done?"
16889That is all very well, Miss Allen, but what if you die, before you have finished? 16889 That you, Jonas?
16889That you, Miss Allen? 16889 The what?"
16889Then why ask foolish questions?
16889Then why make foolish comments?
16889Then will you agree not to go back until you have talked to me again?
16889Then,said Enoch,"will you take Jonas along as cook, Mack?"
16889There is no great hurry, is there? 16889 There is nothing personal between you?"
16889Tired? 16889 To see Injun villages?"
16889Try what?
16889Understand what?
16889Was I to go to tea at Madame Foret''s this afternoon, Abbott?
16889Was it really harder, Abbott, or was it this frightful weather?
16889Was it so much harder than the work you are doing?
16889Was she my mother?
16889Was that any queerer sight than Just Smith chasing Pablo this morning?
16889We are friends, Fowler, are we not?
16889Well, Enoch, old man, are you glad to go?
16889Well, Enoch?
16889Well, Judge, is your little vacation giving you the rest you wanted?
16889Well, Mr. Cheney, have you made your discovery?
16889Well, and where does your princely salary permit you to live?
16889Well, boys, shall we move?
16889Well, can you beat that?
16889Well, does to- morrow see us at the Ferry?
16889Well, gentlemen, what can I do for you?
16889Well, how come you to think I could n''t take''em, woman? 16889 Well, then, without an expedition?"
16889Were these experienced oil men?
16889What are we all going to do now, with just one boat?
16889What are you trying to do, ruin my reputation with Just Smith here? 16889 What attitude does Mr. Fowler take in this?"
16889What becomes of the work?
16889What came of it?
16889What changed your luck, Jonas?
16889What did she look like? 16889 What did you say to him when he told you that?"
16889What did you think of it?
16889What difference does that make? 16889 What do I do next?"
16889What do you fellows think?
16889What do you hear from Fowler?
16889What do you think of Havisham as presidential material?
16889What do you want it for, Jonas?
16889What do you want to divulge your cold- heartedness for? 16889 What do you want?"
16889What does Watkins call your job?
16889What else?
16889What fool ever sent you folks out?
16889What gave you the idea to begin with?
16889What happens if one does n''t leave when requested?
16889What in time are you trying to do on the river, anyhow?
16889What is it, Abbott?
16889What is it, Jonas?
16889What kind of camp is this?
16889What kind of grub?
16889What kind of people did you know in Germany?
16889What luck with the Ida?
16889What luck, Judge?
16889What name, for instance?
16889What of it? 16889 What on earth possesses you to do it?
16889What on earth--?
16889What part of the government do you work for?
16889What solitary trip was Wee- tah undertaking?
16889What sort of timber are you developing among your field men, Cheney?
16889What the deuce happened?
16889What was the luck to- day, boys?
16889What was the queerest thing you''ve ever seen in the desert, Mack?
16889What was the rip this time?
16889What went wrong, bud? 16889 What would you do with it, if you had it, Curly?"
16889What would you have done if I had n''t come along and taken pity on you? 16889 What would you say, Miss Allen, if I tell you that I had to force this fellow into going to see your wonderful pictures?"
16889What you want?
16889What''re you doing, you clumsy dub foot?
16889What''s Field sore about?
16889What''s happened, Abbott?
16889What''s happened, Jonas?
16889What''s happened, boss?
16889What''s he doin''off his beat?
16889What''s the cause of it?
16889What''s the difficulty?
16889What''s the effect of that draught?
16889What''s the excitement, Frank?
16889What''s the idea?
16889What''s the matter with you? 16889 What''s the matter with your knee, boss?"
16889What''s the nearest help by way of land?
16889What''s the story, Curly?
16889What''s the trouble, Fowler?
16889What''s troubling you, woman?
16889What''s up, Jonas?
16889What''s your program, Diana?
16889What''s yours?
16889When could you begin, you two?
16889When did she return to Washington?
16889When you want''em?
16889Where are they?
16889Where are you going, Jonas?
16889Where did you come from?
16889Where do I go to- night, Jonas?
16889Where does that trail lead?
16889Where on earth did you come from? 16889 Where the devil did you find that?"
16889Where you come from?
16889Where you going?
16889Where''d that mattress come from?
16889Where''d you get it?
16889Where''s Forrester?
16889Where''s that Na- che?
16889Who has taught you?
16889Who is after him?
16889Who is wanted? 16889 Who said draw- poker?"
16889Who were your folks, Enoch?
16889Who''d be surprising me, Jonas? 16889 Who''d repaint the name?"
16889Whom do you want to see in New York, Enoch?
16889Whose quail are these, I''d like to know?
16889Why did n''t you go where there was some real sport?
16889Why did you dream of a wild trip down the Colorado as the realization of your greatest desire?
16889Why do n''t you look out for your own kids and let me alone?
16889Why do n''t you people have him taken away from the Italian and a proper guardian appointed?
16889Why do n''t you use''em?
16889Why indeed?
16889Why is the President in such a hurry to see me, Abbott?
16889Why not include the mental training? 16889 Why not the truth?"
16889Why should I forget it?
16889Why should you think that?
16889Why stay down here, like lost dogs, when there''s a first class hotel back up there?
16889Why the Indian Bureau?
16889Why, are you two old friends?
16889Why, how''d she happen to wire you, Jonas?
16889Why, of course?
16889Why?
16889Why?
16889Why?
16889Why?
16889Why?
16889Why?
16889Will the snow make Bright Angel too difficult for you, Frank?
16889Will you agree, Brown, to an absolute break with Fowler and no come backs?
16889Will you come to me as soon as you have finished, to- morrow, Enoch?
16889Will you dictate a few moments on your report to the President on the Pension controversy?
16889Will you go with me to take another look at it?
16889Will you let me work my passage as far as Bright Angel?
16889With good luck, and no Survey work, how many days are we from the Ferry?
16889Would n''t it be better to keep Milton right here and one of us go for the doctor?
16889Would n''t you know she''d take it that way? 16889 Would you be interested in looking at some photographs of Indian life?"
16889Would you? 16889 Yes, I know, but is that the only reason?"
16889Yes? 16889 Yes?"
16889Yet you told Lucy them, did n''t you?
16889You are agreed that it shall be war between us, then?
16889You are n''t going to give it up now, are you, Mack?
16889You are sure as to your facts about this bandit leader?
16889You came to see me for that, sir?
16889You feel sick from the saddle, eh, Jonas?
16889You got ta da rent money, Nucky?
16889You have n''t gone crazy, have you, Judge?
16889You heard what he said to me?
16889You like Jonas, do n''t you, Na- che?
16889You like a cup of coffee? 16889 You mean for the country, do you not, sir?"
16889You mean for the country, do you not?
16889You mean to say you pick up gold like that, down here?
16889You mean,Diana spoke quickly,"that I ought to have stayed with my father?"
16889You saw last night''s papers?
16889You saw who his side pardner was, did n''t you?
16889You sell me a horse?
16889You''ll really try to look out for Mr. Seaton, wo n''t you, Enoch?
16889You''ll stick around for a little while, wo n''t you, Diana?
16889You''re a Pueblo Indian?
16889You''re a regular tough, eh, Enoch? 16889 You''re not hinting that I ought to reimburse you, are you?"
168891.--Congress again, eh, Lucy?
16889A ten o''clock start will be early enough, wo n''t it?
16889Abbott, will you show the President out?"
16889Abbott?"
16889After a moment, she said,"Then you are going to shoot Brown?"
16889After the introduction had been made, Enoch said:"Watkins, do you know anything about Indians?"
16889Ai n''t you got any heart?"
16889Am I not right, Agnew and Jonas?"
16889And Curly laughed at me and asked me what mercy Fowler had shown his brother?
16889And Jonas said,''Boss, how come you to do a stunt like this?
16889And did you know that Seaton thinks you were kidnapped?"
16889And now tell me, Diana, just what are your plans?"
16889And what are your plans?"
16889And yet you were a very successful Commissioner, were you not?"
16889And-- and, Mr. Seaton, would you sit with me till I get to sleep?"
16889Any other accident?"
16889Anything good in sight?"
16889Are n''t they a fine lot of fellows?
16889Are n''t you ashamed?"
16889Are n''t you off your beat?"
16889Are n''t you proud of me?
16889Are you a little bit glad, Diana?"
16889Are you cold?
16889Are you going to stay with us a little while?"
16889Are you going to try it?"
16889Are you having a good holiday?"
16889Are you positive that these men do n''t know you?"
16889Are you tired?"
16889Are you washed up?"
16889At last, as the pudding was being served, she exclaimed:"What in the world are you watching for, Enoch?
16889Been down Bright Angel yet?"
16889Boss, do you remember the night he took me out to see that desert charm?"
16889Boss, what you trying to do?"
16889But Enoch silenced the others by saying with great earnestness:"Milton, you know I''m right, do n''t you?"
16889But why should Germany do so?"
16889But, excepting on cabinet days, why meet at all?"
16889By that time, I ought to know something about Enoch, eh?"
16889By the eternal, Senator, ca n''t you fellows leave one department clear of the spoils system?
16889By the way, have you seen Jonas?"
16889By the way, what did you think of Miss Allen yesterday?"
16889By the way, will you sell me those boots of yours?
16889By what principles do you think a man ought to be guided?
16889CHAPTER XI THE PERFECT ADVENTURE"Who cares whether or not my hands are clean?
16889Can you come about three, if that suits Abbott''s schedule?"
16889Can you remember?"
16889Cheney?"
16889Cheney?"
16889Cheney?"
16889Could you come to me here?
16889Could you leave next week for a speaking trip?"
16889Curly?"
16889Diana, can you play poker?"
16889Did Field speak of the child?"
16889Did Frank ever do any mining?
16889Did any one ever climb up the side of the Canyon, say like one yonder where it looked like different colored stair steps going up?
16889Did any one ever find gold in the canyon?
16889Did any one ever swim across the river?
16889Did he want to go to reform school?"
16889Did n''t I tell you Injun charms was strong?
16889Did n''t the story of Lucy seem wonderful to you?"
16889Did n''t you tell me that was my job, years ago?
16889Did you eat the rest raw?"
16889Did you ever ride, before?"
16889Did you find any pieces of the Na- che?"
16889Did you know that your friend Cadiz is the greatest living authority on Aztec worship and a hectic fan for bullfighting as a national sport?
16889Did you see me jerk her round?"
16889Did you see the pictures, Huntingdon?"
16889Do I look a tenderfoot?
16889Do many kids take it?"
16889Do n''t I see her kiss that little picture she has of him in her locket every night when she says her prayers?"
16889Do n''t we go, too, boss?"
16889Do n''t you like these little love pats?''
16889Do we have any steeper trails than the ones we''ve been on, already?
16889Do you dislike me so much as that?
16889Do you expect us to rob you, or what?"
16889Do you find much game round here?"
16889Do you know that I can make serious legal trouble for you for your part in libelling me and the Department?"
16889Do you know what I thought to- night after I left the British Ambassador?
16889Do you know what I''d do if I was taken suddenly rich?
16889Do you like little girls?"
16889Do you like men?"
16889Do you like the boy, Frank?"
16889Do you like the work, Milton?"
16889Do you recall drinking water the other men did n''t?"
16889Do you remember?"
16889Do you see what I''m driving at?"
16889Do you think Brown''s lawyers will fight for you now?"
16889Do you think that the underlying purpose of life is dog eat dog, every man for himself, by whatever method?
16889Do you think you can clear the matter up for him?"
16889Do you want to go to reform school?"
16889Does God?
16889Does he ever play?"
16889Does n''t she, Frank?"
16889Eh?"
16889Else why disease and grief in the world?
16889Enoch and the Indian shook hands gravely, and Diana said,"Ca n''t you take supper with us, Wee- tah?"
16889Enoch greeted him cordially, and after a few generalities said,"Mr. Cheney, what bomb are they preparing to explode now?"
16889Enoch laughed, then said seriously:"What''s the idea, Mr. Cheney?
16889Enoch went up the steps with Diana, however, and asked her tensely:"Will you lunch with me to- morrow, Miss Allen, that I may explain myself?"
16889Enoch, did you ever try to trace your father?"
16889Enoch, have you never talked your case over with a psychologist?"
16889Enoch, what started you in politics?"
16889Ever on a college crew, Judge?"
16889For a moment no one spoke, then Na- che, her round brown face wrinkled with amusement, said,"Almost no Na- che, no Diana, no Judge, eh?"
16889Fourteen to thirty- six, is n''t it?"
16889God is mercilessly just, is He not?
16889God, Diana, do you think we are machines to be driven at will?"
16889Going down to- morrow with Miss Planer?"
16889Going some, for Minetta Lane, eh?
16889Harden?"
16889Have I delivered the goods, or not?"
16889Have n''t died, have you?
16889Have you a general route planned?"
16889Have you a theory?"
16889Have you been sleeping well?
16889Have you?"
16889He paused, eying Nucky''s boyish face closely, then he asked,"Did you love your mother?"
16889He was thinking of the expression that would appear on Curly''s face if he learned into whose hands he was putting his dynamite?
16889He whispered again,"Diana, what have I done?"
16889Hello, Jonas, what can I do for you?"
16889How about Brown?"
16889How about it, Milton?"
16889How about it, Milton?"
16889How about you, Jonas?"
16889How am I to do my work like a man, with only half a man''s life to live?
16889How come everybody thinks she''s so beautiful, boss?"
16889How come he do n''t do''em hisself?"
16889How come you ai n''t been, Boss?"
16889How come you stayed so late?"
16889How come you suppose I do n''t know women, huh?
16889How come you think I ca n''t tell this story?
16889How come you think I like to see a smart man like you living on baby food?"
16889How come you think I''d forget?"
16889How come you think you got iron insides?"
16889How come you think you kin talk to him when even I do n''t dast to?"
16889How come you to think I could do anything to surprise you?"
16889How come you to think you can sass a Washington man, huh, a government man, huh?
16889How come you to try to insult the boss''and my house, Mr. Milton?
16889How did Jonas find you?"
16889How did they know it when they found it?
16889How else could he have been led in all the wide desert to find this man who held Brown''s future in his hands?
16889How long did it take you to make that collection of photographs?"
16889How long do you suppose such a trip would take?"
16889How long have you been out?"
16889How long would it take you to complete the entire collection you have in mind?"
16889How many of us are there who''ve not committed sins that we never forgive ourselves?"
16889How much did that tender- foot weigh that rode him?"
16889How much does it cost?
16889How much you pay for grub?"
16889How old is the boy?"
16889How would that do?"
16889How would you like an appointment as a special investigator?"
16889How''s Milton?
16889How''s your Dad?"
16889Huntingdon?"
16889Huntingdon?"
16889Huntingdon?"
16889Huntingdon?"
16889Huntingdon?"
16889I guess he''d know, would n''t he?"
16889I say, why not let me kill him?
16889I wonder if you know that he has been dead for twenty years and that his devoted wife survived him only by a year?
16889If one of the men arrested at that time had broken down, you''d all have despised him, I suppose?"
16889If they discovered what Miss Allen did for us all at the Ferry, how she led me back to El Tovar, what would they do with it?"
16889If you have the time, sir, will you permit me to go over the whole miserable story?"
16889Is human nature normally and habitually corrupt when it comes to governing a city?
16889Is n''t your system of scandal mongering built on the idea that mud once slung always leaves a stain in the public mind?
16889Is that dawn breaking yonder?"
16889Is that the best you two can do on shoes?
16889Is there any one in the waiting- room?"
16889Is this your first trip east?"
16889Is to- day a fair sample of every day, you fellows?"
16889Is your championing them worth the risk to Miss Allen?"
16889Is your knee bothering you, Judge?"
16889Jokes aside, you know my keen interest in Indian ethnology?"
16889Jonas gave Curly and Mack a withering glance, started to speak, swallowed something and said,"How come you to think you was a butcher, boss?
16889Jonas, how about grub for the Judge?"
16889Jonas, how long since I''ve had a vacation?"
16889Just where was you aiming for?"
16889Late this afternoon, at the French Ambassador''s?
16889Lucy, ca n''t city governments be clean?
16889Mack, when shall we move?"
16889Mid- morning on the third day, after several hours of silent trekking, Curly turned in his saddle:"Just, have you noticed the mirage?"
16889Milton grunted and Diana said, quickly,"What are you people going to do until Mr. Milton gets well?"
16889Milton?"
16889Milton?"
16889Milton?"
16889Miss Allen, when shall you go back to the Canyon?"
16889Miss Allen, will you not share your great good fortune with my friend and me?"
16889Mr. Huntingdon, how am I ever going to thank you?"
16889Mr. Milton, can I have the broken oar blade we kept to patch the Ida with?"
16889Mr. Milton, is there anything Na- che or I can do for you?"
16889Mr. Seaton, is that true?"
16889Mr. Secretary, ca n''t something be done to shut him off?"
16889Need any help on those dishes, Jonas, before I go to bed?"
16889Now just why do you hate us?"
16889Now will you let me make an appointment for you with the Secretary of State?
16889Now?
16889Or do you think we''re put here to make life better than we found it?
16889Or do you want to go up to the hotel?"
16889Ought I to hobble him or stake him out?"
16889Please, why did n''t you intend to come to my exhibition?"
16889President?"
16889President?"
16889President?"
16889Public service?
16889Rather a lighter day than yesterday, eh?"
16889Reeves?"
16889Rotherick?"
16889Seaton?"
16889Seaton?"
16889Secretary?"
16889Secretary?"
16889Secretary?"
16889Secretary?"
16889See that lone pine up on the rim to your right?
16889See?"
16889See?"
16889Shall I come in and speak to you, at that time?"
16889Shall I get in touch with the White House?"
16889Shall I get the horses?
16889Shall I never be able to bury Minetta Lane?"
16889Shall we go after those letters?"
16889Shall we launch the good ship Ida, fellows?"
16889Sit down, wo n''t you?"
16889Smith?"
16889So if we do n''t get on together, it''s understood you''ll turn back, eh?"
16889So neglect Mexico and Alaska for a little while, tomorrow, will you, Huntingdon?"
16889Sob stuff?"
16889Some trip, eh?"
16889Sure you are n''t hurt any?"
16889Take a hand, Judge and Hard?"
16889That''s a wonderful name of yours, do you realize it?"
16889The Senator puffed silently, then said,"Why does Brown hate you?"
16889Then Enoch said in a low voice:"Do you have trouble with Forrester and Harden?"
16889Then he said quietly:"Will you tell me where I can find Jonas, Diana?"
16889Then she said,"Are n''t you going to tell me some of the details of your trip?"
16889Then the President said,"Enoch, how are you going to handle Brown?"
16889Then with a quick, direct look, he asked,"Did your father, ever give you the details of his experience with me in the Canyon?"
16889Then, with one eyebrow raised, he grunted,"What''d you work at?"
16889There was a moment''s silence, then Enoch went on,"Shall you carry on your work with the Indians alone as you always have done?
16889There was silence for a moment, then the President went on:"What are you going to do to Brown, Huntingdon?"
16889Think seriously of a speaking tour, wo n''t you?"
16889This is n''t your camp?"
16889Understand me?"
16889Want a look at him?"
16889Want to come along, Enoch?"
16889Want to try it, Enoch?"
16889Was Nucky laying some deep scheme for mischief when they reached San Francisco?
16889Was Roland glad he made his adventure in search of the Dark Tower?"
16889Was any one ever killed when he minded what the guide told him?
16889Was there more than one article about me?"
16889Washington is difficult to endure, in the summer, is n''t it?
16889Well, I think you''d better plan-- come up here, will you, at once?
16889Well, what do you think now?"
16889Were you ever in New York, Frank?"
16889Were you looking for a cheap lunch?"
16889What about those who stay?"
16889What assurance are you going to give me that you will keep your mouth shut as to what you''ve heard this afternoon?"
16889What can I do for Arkansas, Senator?"
16889What can I say?"
16889What can all the admiring plaudits mean to me when I know that you are only a dream, only a dream?"
16889What could be a stronger reason for being for the Geological Survey than to find and show the public the resources of the public lands?
16889What do you mean, stoop?
16889What do you say to a return for lunch, Judge?"
16889What do you think I am?"
16889What do you think life is for?
16889What do you think of that?"
16889What do you think of this parlor, bedroom and bath?"
16889What do you women folks know about how a strong man like him fights Satan?
16889What explanation shall we make them?"
16889What guys camp in the Indian gardens?
16889What happens first, Abbott?"
16889What in the world was he to do with the young gambler in San Francisco, that paradise of gamblers?
16889What in thunder are you angry about?
16889What is he, Diana, a member of the Supreme Bench?"
16889What is the use?
16889What makes him so ugly?
16889What medium could one use to tell the world of that?"
16889What more useful and direct thing could I do than rid the nation of him?
16889What nerve does it take to stack the cards against a dub?
16889What school does Abbott represent?"
16889What sort of joy?"
16889What was placer mining?"
16889What would you do about it, Judge?"
16889What your name?"
16889What''re you going to do with the Canyon?"
16889What''s doin''?"
16889What''s doin''with you?"
16889What''s the matter?"
16889What''s the use?"
16889What''s the use?"
16889What''s wanted?"
16889What''s yours?"
16889When are you going to take your vacation?"
16889When do you start, John dear?"
16889Where can I reach you?"
16889Where did you go?"
16889Where had he been?
16889Where on earth did it come from?"
16889Where''s your home?"
16889Where''s your nerve?"
16889Where''ve you been?
16889Where, Jonas?"
16889Which way are you folks going?"
16889While these chaps play, will you take a walk with me?"
16889Who cares whether you play cards or not?
16889Who is waiting this morning?"
16889Who on earth but you cares what I do?
16889Who told you she was bad?"
16889Who''s going to develop the water power in our Idaho streams?"
16889Why ca n''t we climb to the top of the butte for a little while?
16889Why did n''t you want to see my pictures?"
16889Why do n''t you lie down and rest both mind and body until supper''s ready?
16889Why do n''t you take him out of the field and begin to groom him for your job, Mr. Cheney?
16889Why do n''t you try that, kid?
16889Why do you have to get sore every time I speak to you?"
16889Why in the name of all the fiends in Hades do you suppose nothing relieves me in moments of great mental stress but gambling?
16889Why not let the states manage the water and land problems?"
16889Why not save the papers till morning and try to sleep now?"
16889Why not?
16889Why not?"
16889Why ruin your own life in the effort to punish a man for something that''s better forgotten?"
16889Why should decent citizens live in fear of his dirty newsmongers?
16889Why should n''t Canada take that trouble on?"
16889Why should neighbors hate each other?
16889Why?"
16889Will you express my regrets to the Argentine delegation and make a new appointment?
16889Will you folks be home by twelve for dinner?"
16889Will you go up to the hotel and arrange for transportation out of here tonight?
16889Will you let him have a moment?"
16889Will you let me know facts as you turn them up?"
16889Will you make arrangements with Mr. Abbott for a longer conference, to- morrow?
16889Will you not dine with me to- morrow, or rather, this evening, at the Ashton, at eight o''clock?
16889Will you run through this correspondence, Mr. Huntingdon, before I call in the Idaho contingent?"
16889Will you take a ride along the rim now?
16889Wo n''t you wait a day longer, just till we''re a little more fit?"
16889Would n''t God expect me to punish evil?
16889Would you leave me in your fix, thinking you might bring help back?"
16889Yet, I am not convinced that he would not make a far more able chief executive than I?"
16889Yet, do you know, when she insisted that I turn Catholic, I would n''t do it?
16889You are n''t afraid to get up and dress, are you?"
16889You are not going away, are you?"
16889You ca n''t see Him or talk to Him, but you know He made this Canyon, do n''t you?"
16889You gambling, indecent little gutter snipe, is n''t there a clean spot in you?"
16889You know that joint on Sixth Avenue where I go and play cards once in a while?
16889You know what I mean, do n''t you?
16889You mean what would I charge somebody for doing this work?
16889You notice, do n''t you, that I talk to you of Minetta Lane only when something tremendous, either good or bad, has happened to me?
16889You realize that, do you?"
16889You remember him, Lucy?
16889You see that, do n''t you?"
16889You''re planning to stay in Washington, are you, Miss Allen?"
16889and where''s the rest of the bunch?"
16889at cards?"
16889exclaimed Diana, then as she shook hands, she added:"Where are you going so fast, Wee- tah?"
16889he exclaimed, when she came out,"are n''t you going to talk to me even?
16889sniffed Curly,"that is n''t saying anything, is it, Judge?"
16889urged the Indian woman, sadly,"Why should things be so wrong?
16889will be all out if you do that?"
16889with a look of repugnance that caused Milton to exclaim,"Got conscientious scruples against cards, Judge?"
20714Afraid of what?
20714Ai n''t the Elder comin''?
20714Ai n''t you, Serry?
20714Alone? 20714 And about the spider?"
20714And the price?
20714And you''re the clerk?
20714Any answer?
20714Any objection, Bill? 20714 Anybody coming?"
20714Are you cold?
20714Are you cold?
20714Are you satisfied?
20714But how do you come back t''me?
20714But what_ is_ the way out?
20714But why go into this so quick? 20714 Ca n''t I do something?"
20714Ca n''t I look in?
20714Ca n''t y''r father step in and help you?
20714Ca n''t you come to the wedding, Jim? 20714 Can I see you, Radbourn, alone?"
20714Can I wait and go back with you?
20714Can you hear us? 20714 Cheerful prospect, is n''t it?"
20714Dad, ai n''t you got no sense? 20714 Did he do it fair?"
20714Did n''t I do it slick? 20714 Did n''t you know no more''n to bring a Baptist preacher into this house?"
20714Did y''get the second bundle of magazines last Saturday?
20714Did you ask for anything?
20714Did you do work like that?
20714Did you just get in?
20714Did you suffer, child?
20714Did you? 20714 Did''e?
20714Do I own some of this town?
20714Do human beings live here?
20714Do n''t they? 20714 Do n''t you want a sleigh- ride?"
20714Do n''t you want some med''cine? 20714 Do they have any new things?"
20714Do you call it square for a man-- married, and gray- haired, too-- to take up with a woman like Mrs. Shellberg? 20714 Do you think it''s so bad as that?
20714Do you? 20714 Do?
20714Does Dad pay you to stand an''look at me an''say pretty things t''the cook?
20714Does n''t that hay in the bunks get a-- a-- sometimes?
20714Does the moon hurt you, Tilly? 20714 Emmy, where_ are_ you, Emmy?"
20714Exciting? 20714 Excuse me, wo n''t you?
20714Go alone?
20714Going to the camp- meeting, Con?
20714Got a tag on y''rself?
20714Hain''t seen nothing o''Harkey?
20714Hartley friend o''yours?
20714Have n''t you been in the same kind of a temper too?
20714Have you any objection to family devotion?
20714He did n''t?
20714Heard about the plan for a church?
20714Heerd anything o''Pill lately?
20714Hello, Milt, where you bound?
20714Hello, folkses, are you all here?
20714How are you now, dear?
20714How could I, with you on my manly bosom?
20714How d''ye do? 20714 How de do?

20714I s''pose it must''a''been in spring that those old chaps, on their steeds and in their steel shirts, started out for to rescue some damsel, hey?
20714I think you are mistaken, just as other jealous women have--"You think I''m jealous, do you?
20714I thought you was going through college all so fast?
20714I want to know how often you''re going to be out till twelve o''clock with this book agent?
20714I''m his mother now, and he''s goin''to do just as I tell him to-- aren''t you, Albert?

20714N- no; but-- but--"But what, Merry Etty?
20714No, have you?
20714No, she''s well enough-- but--"But what is the trouble? 20714 No, why?"
20714Now, what can I do for you?
20714Now, what in---- you been up to?
20714Now, why are you down on the judge? 20714 Objection?

20714Oh, Serry, do n''t leave me again, will you?
20714Oh, ca n''t something be done?
20714Oh, doctor, how is she?
20714Oh, must you? 20714 Oh, my brethren, what will you do in that last day?"
20714Oh, what shall I do?
20714Oh, will you? 20714 Oh, you''re too sharp, ai n''t you?"
20714Poor fellow, what will become of him?

20714Say, Stacey, have you got a policy?
20714Say, why did n''t you shout? 20714 Say, would you take a country school several miles out?"

20714Well, I''m here; what are you going t''do with me?
20714Well, how goes it?
20714Well, now, when''ll we have the settlement?

20714What''s the use? 20714 What''s the use?
20714What''s your object? 20714 When are we going to visit the camp?"
20714When did this coom on?

20714Who?
20714Why did n''t you come down with the baroosh?
20714Why did n''t you get into the basket?
20714Why do n''t you teach?
20714Why not?
20714Why not?
20714Why so?
20714Why so?
20714Why, Ed, what''s the matter?
20714Why, what do you mean?
20714Why, what more could you ask? 20714 Why, what''s the matter, Maudie?
20714Why, why!--what is it? 20714 Will it live, Doctor?
20714Will you ask her to come here a moment?
20714Wo n''t milk an''cookies do as well?
20714Wo n''t you come in and sit down by the fire?
20714Wo n''t you sit down and play for us?
20714Would you go if I asked you?
20714Yes; know him?
20714You act like a jeal--"Jealous of that gray- haired old wretch? 20714 You are, eh?"
20714You believe in good deeds, candor, and steadfastness?
20714You believe in justice, equality of opportunity, and in liberty?
20714You believe in square dealing between man and man?
20714You believe, in short, that a man should do unto others as he''d have others do unto him; think right and live out his thoughts?
20714You hush, will yeh? 20714 You promised, you remember?"
20714You read Latin?
20714You think I lie, then?
20714You''re very strong, are n''t you?
20714Yup; nice little scheme, ai n''t it?
20714*****"Wo n''t you read to me?"
20714After a decent pause the younger man said,"Going to Kesota, are you?"
20714After a little:"Do n''t you remember, Mattie, how beautiful the moonlight seemed?
20714After a pause, she said:"You were raised on a farm?"
20714After a short and vigorous"blowing up,"Albert asked:"Well, now, what''s the meaning of all this, anyhow?
20714After he had gone out, Field said,"I wonder if he''ll do it?"
20714Ai n''t it a nice day?"
20714Ai n''t the twisted wire better?"
20714Ai n''t they somethin''?"
20714Ai n''t we goin''t''be married soon?"
20714Ai n''t you got no gumption?...
20714Albert, do you know me?"
20714Almost the first thing she asked was,"How is Williams?"
20714Am I in your way?"
20714Another case o''girl, hey?"
20714Are there many teams out?"
20714Are they all like that?"
20714Are ye''fraid o''me?"
20714As Lyman sat down on his maple log to hear better, a plump face appeared at the window, and a clear, girl- voice said:--"Smell anything, Lime?"
20714As he looked at them the thought came to him, What is the goodness of a girl-- of a child?
20714As he went to bed, and found her still away, he yelled up the stairway:--"Say, old woman, ai n''t ye comin''to bed?"
20714At last people began to inquire,"Well, ai n''t he comin''?"
20714At the end of the meal the minister asked:--"Have you a Bible in the house?"
20714Bark y''r knuckle?"
20714Ben turned quickly,"Where?"
20714Bert, old fellow, are you there?"
20714Brann?"
20714Brother Councill, seen anything of the Elder?"
20714Brother Jennings, will you lead us in prayer?"
20714But oh, must you go?
20714But the horse-- is he gentle?"
20714But what can we do?
20714But what cared the drivers?
20714But what had you planned to do after your divorce?"
20714But you''ll come back?"
20714By- the- way, everybody I talked with to- day about leaving said,''What''s Lohr going to do with that girl?''
20714By- the- way, you''re a theolog, are n''t you?"
20714Ca n''t it go faster?
20714Ca n''t somethin''be done?
20714Ca n''t something be done for him?"
20714Ca n''t you see the way I do it?
20714Can you get along, mother?"
20714Come, now, what d''y''say?"
20714Cows milked?"
20714Did n''t he go home with Bensen?"
20714Did n''t the old lady have a time of it raisin''me?
20714Did the Galilean forbid love and joy?
20714Did you ask Grace?"
20714Did you get a chill?"
20714Did you want to see me?"
20714Dis goes troo de way it began, or we do n''t play-- see?"
20714Do n''t lay up this fit of temper against Sim-- will you?"
20714Do n''t make fun of him, will you?
20714Do n''t yo''want the minister to be sent for?"
20714Do n''t you think so?"
20714Do n''t you?
20714Do people still eat brown sugar?
20714Do you think I''ll get my divorce?"
20714Do you think I''ve got one foot in the grave?"
20714Emmy''s folks come yet?"
20714Expect to meet friends there?"
20714Far off a rooster gave a long, clear blast-- would it be answered in the barn?
20714Funny how things go, ai n''t it?
20714Gideon Turner had the courage to pull up and call out, for the satisfaction of his wife:--"What''s going on here this fine morning?"
20714Goin''t''take y''r girl out, hey?"
20714Great scheme, that sociable, eh?
20714Hain''t you got no sense?
20714Have y''fled from the wrath?"
20714Have you been quarrelling again?
20714Have you done your share at being kind and patient?"
20714Have you seen Mott?"
20714He stopped in his dressing to say,"We''ve struck a great boarding- place, hey?"
20714He works like a fiend-- so does his wife-- and what is their reward?
20714He''s going to settle down here-- aren''t you, Albert?"
20714Her voice shook painfully as she replied:"You do n''t think I''m_ all_ bad?"
20714How are you?
20714How did it happen?"
20714How do we know what they feel?
20714How do you find yourself?"
20714How do you like that style of barb fence?
20714How goes it?"
20714How is he?"
20714How much did you have when you took her away from her good home an''brought her away out here among the wolves an''Indians?
20714How much do you need?"
20714I ai n''t a word of fault to find, have you, Bill?"
20714I like theatres, do n''t you?"
20714I s''pose you''ll move right in?"
20714I told''em I did n''t know; do you?
20714I wonder how they came to build a town without a row of battlemented stores?"
20714I wonder if ol''sorrel can pass''em?"
20714If Daddy was a young man--""What do you mean, sir?
20714If she comes, will you_ say_ you were_ part_ to blame?
20714If you want''o set dis community by de ears agin, you do dat ting-- see?
20714In such air, in such sun, who could die?
20714Is everybody satisfied?"
20714Is he awake?"
20714Is he gone out?"
20714Is n''t it still?
20714Is she pretty?"
20714Is your fever risin''?"
20714It must be time to go to dinner,--aren''t you ready to go?
20714It seems a hopeless sort of life, does n''t it?"
20714It''s Sunday, ai n''t it, ma?"
20714It''s awful to be a woman, do n''t you think so?
20714Jim?"
20714Joe Bent, a smallish man, with a weak, good- natured face, asked, in a hoarse whisper:"How is she, Mis''Ridings?"
20714Looking for a school, eh?
20714Lovely things to play with, are n''t they?"
20714Make it bucks?"
20714Marietty Bacon, ai n''t you an''Lime Gilman goin''t''be married?"
20714Mattie cried out to her mother, in quick, low voice,"Oh mother, how is he?"
20714Miss Welsh, will you attend the festivity of the evening under my guidance and protection?"
20714Mother sick?"
20714Mrs. Welsh exclaimed,"what are you doing?"
20714Narrow the road that leads to light, and broad the way that leads-- how''s your soul anyway, brother?"
20714Not Joe?"
20714Now look here-- how''s this?
20714Now the question is, can you find a place for me?"
20714Now, why do you talk so t''me when I want t''git-- when Lime comes and asks for me?"
20714Oh, Marthy, I never thought I''d come to this-- did you?
20714Oh, Marthy, what''ll become o''them?
20714Oh, when can I go?"
20714Once her husband said,"What''s the matter?
20714One of the group, the one cuffed last, sniffed out, in rage and grief:--"He''s in the corn- field; where''d ye s''pose he was?"
20714Or even to the best of these farmers?"
20714Pill, how de do?
20714Pill?"
20714Say, do you, now?"
20714Say, old man, did you ever work out for a living?"
20714Say, you''re a good one, you are?
20714Shall I put down the curtain?"
20714Shall I tell her you feel to blame?"
20714She did n''t need to go there every day or two, did she?
20714She often spoke of him, and on the following Saturday night, when Field came home, she anxiously asked,"Is Williams in town?"
20714She resented his classing her with the rest, but she simply said:"You despise me, do n''t you?
20714She told her husband about Williams, and ended by asking,"Ca n''t we do something to help the poor fellow?"
20714She was completely dressed, even to her hat and shoes, but she mourned:--"My hair is every- which- way; Lime, how can I be married so?"
20714Shellberg?"
20714So you''re goun''to git married, hey?"
20714Something in Milton''s voice led him to ask soberly:--"What did you intend doing with''em?"
20714Suddenly he said, as if with an involuntary determination:--"Where ye go''n''to stay t''night?"
20714Suppose there is n''t any hereafter?"
20714The best he could do, as Bacon shuffled calmly out, was to stammer:"Will some one please sing?"
20714The man ate his breakfast in dead silence, till at last Bob ventured to say:--"What makes ma ac''so?"
20714The next that he heard was a curious soft murmur of voices, out of which a sweet, agonized girl- voice broke:"Oh, where''s the doctor?
20714The woman with the children inquired for the tenth time,"Is the next station Lodi?"
20714The world was all bright then-- wasn''t it?
20714Then he asked,"Who is the yoong mon?"
20714Then, feeling the force of his tender tone, she added:"Will you behave, and go right off to your work?"
20714There was a weary droop in her voice; she seemed aware of it, and said more brightly:"You mean Madison, I suppose?"
20714They all drew up noisily, and Allen said:"Ask the blessing, sir?"
20714They do n''t run freight such nights as this?"
20714They''ve been a comfort to y''?
20714Think it''s going to clear up?"
20714Turner?"
20714Upon whom does the burden of guilt lie?"
20714Want another?"
20714Want some breakfast?
20714Was n''t that a narrow escape?"
20714We used to string sweet- williams on spears of grass-- don''t you remember?"
20714Were you reading?"
20714What about Merry Etty?"
20714What am I to do?"
20714What are you doing?"
20714What brings you here?"
20714What could he say to them?
20714What did he always receive her in his private office for?
20714What do the women do out here?"
20714What do we know of their capacity for enjoyment of art and music?
20714What do y''s''pose, you numskull?"
20714What do you think you can do by crowding on top of him?"
20714What good would it do me to go to school another year?
20714What have you saved from the general land- slide?"
20714What in thunder do we care?
20714What in thunder you foolun''round about hyere in seed''n''?
20714What is the world of art, of music, of literature, to these poor devils,--to Sim Burns and his wife there, for example?
20714What kind of a school?"
20714What makes ye gig back?
20714What seems the matter?"
20714What should she say to the desperate woman?
20714What the devil you standin''there for?"
20714What was he that he could dogmatize on eternal life and the will of the Being who stood behind that veil?
20714What you doin''out such a day as this?
20714What''ll he do now?"
20714What''re you thinking of?
20714What''s been going on here since my absence?"
20714What''s come over him?"
20714What''s the inducement?
20714What''s the matter-- sick?"
20714What''s the matter?"
20714What''s the rush?
20714What''s y''r objection to me fer a son- in- law?"
20714What, cryin''?
20714What_ have_ you done?"
20714What_ is_ the matter o''you?"
20714When did you come down?"
20714When did you come?"
20714When he came back again, the brakeman said to Albert, in a hesitating way:"Ai n''t going t''stop off long, I s''pose?"
20714When is our train due?"
20714When?
20714Where y''goin''t''take me, anyhow?"
20714Where''d you learn all that, anyway?"
20714Where''s Ben Holly''s claim?"
20714Where''s Ike?"
20714Which three?"
20714Who shall say they did not right?
20714Who''s been hurtin''my poor little bird?"
20714Why ai n''t you got that fire blazin''?
20714Why ca n''t you behave, when you know I''m jest about dead?"
20714Why did n''t you let me know?"
20714Why did n''t you send for me before?"
20714Why did n''t you telegraph me at Marion?
20714Why do n''t ye nail''i m?
20714Why not come right up to my boarding- place, and to- morrow I''ll introduce you?
20714Why not put it off fifteen or twenty years?"
20714Why should Williams study her husband''s hands?
20714Why should he work in this choking dust and deafening noise while the hawks could sail and sweep from hill to hill with nothing to do but play?
20714Why this change from Racine?"
20714Why?"
20714Will you do it?
20714Will you?"
20714Wo n''t you let me help you,_ wo n''t_ you?"
20714You ai n''t sorry y''had them?
20714You ai n''t sorry you had''em?"
20714You believe in getting at truth?"
20714You ca n''t expect us to live with men we hate, can you?
20714You do n''t?
20714You know how kind o''lily- livered Lawyer Ransom is?
20714You see, they need a man around the house, so we-- You''ll come, wo n''t you, old fellow?
20714You understand?"
20714You would n''t have me wipe it_ six_ times a day, would you?"
20714_ Ca n''t_ you hurry?"
20714ca n''t you-- you young''uns, give me a minute''s peace?
20714called a breathless, hearty voice,"what the deuce y''been doing with my pardner?
20714he rasped out,"you lazy vagabon''s?
20714that you?"
20714there''s a sociable to- morrow night; I guess we''d better go, had n''t we?"
20714why do n''t the man work all night?
20714wo n''t ye never learn how to turn a hawg?
28956Afraid?
28956Ai n''t I always been a good boss to you?
28956Ai n''t I your boss?
28956Ai n''t I your mistress, Billy?
28956Ai n''t you goin''--goin''to kiss me?
28956An''make me false to th''crosses on Jim Last''s stone?
28956An''what do you want, Tharon?
28956An''what would that be?
28956Are you in earnest?
28956Are you?
28956Beat th''king?
28956Billy,she said sharply,"what''s th''matter with you?
28956Boys,she said suddenly, smiling to herself,"did you ever know a man like my dad?"
28956Buried him already? 28956 Burt, what''s this?"
28956But is there only_ one_ type of man?
28956Cattle?
28956Come here to live?
28956District Attorney?
28956Do I seem different to you?
28956Do n''t you believe, Paula, that there''s somethin''there for me? 28956 Do n''t you know yet, Tharon,"he said quietly,"when I''m a- jokin''with you?
28956Do? 28956 Do?"
28956Eh?
28956Fast as El Rey, Jack?
28956He said''you''ll have to pro--''--you rec''lect? 28956 Heard anything more about Cañon Jim?"
28956Hello, Lola,he said,"how goes it?"
28956Hogs, then?
28956Homesteadin''?
28956How do I know?
28956How''s this?
28956How?
28956How?
28956How?
28956Huh?
28956Huh?
28956I ca n''t take no favours from you when I''ve just took stand against you, can I?
28956I knew somethin''like that-- but what''s th''use? 28956 Law?"
28956Law?
28956Look after th''ranges? 28956 Me, alone?"
28956Might work,he said,"an''you''re givin''out your stand an''knowledge broadcast, ai n''t you?"
28956Miss Last,said Kenset, thrilling at his daring,"why must this law dwell in these?"
28956Miss Last?
28956No time,cried Hill,"we ben counselin''time an''quiet an''not doin''anything to stir''em up, an''what d''we get?
28956Nor you?
28956Paula,said the mistress bitingly,"will you remember who you''re talkin''to?
28956Permits?
28956Rested?
28956Ride? 28956 Ride?"
28956See that?
28956Sick, how?
28956So?
28956Step Service,said the girl straightly,"when are you goin''to look into this here murder?"
28956Tharon, dear,he said gently,"had n''t we better leave a mark or two along this- a- way?
28956The Vigilantes?
28956Then how you know the way? 28956 Then what you goin''to do?"
28956This is your spring, is n''t it?
28956This,she said at last, tapping the gun which Billy handed over,"this, then, is proof-- is proof in law?"
28956Tired, Captain?
28956Took up land, think?
28956Was Jim Banner there?
28956Was n''t there nothin''about him different? 28956 Well?"
28956Well?
28956Well?
28956What do you think of it?
28956What for?
28956What have you heard?
28956What if there is?
28956What makes you think so?
28956What was this last extremity? 28956 What you mean, Billy?"
28956What you mean?
28956What you say, Ellen? 28956 What you think Buck''ll say about me, Cleve?"
28956What you want?
28956What''s he mean by that?
28956What''s he mean to accuse me of?
28956What''s it to you?
28956What''s the matter, Billy, dear?
28956What''s this I hear, Tharon?
28956What''s this?
28956What''s this?
28956What, Anita?
28956What-- what you ben a- hearin''? 28956 What?"
28956Where you goin'', Buck?
28956Where? 28956 Where?"
28956Where?
28956Which way did Dad go, Billy?
28956Who can it be, to come so, Señorita?
28956Who could tell?
28956Who for?
28956Who for?
28956Who wants''em?
28956Who''s the Coroner?
28956Who, Dad,she called into his dulling senses,"tell me who?
28956Why are you doin''this?
28956Why are you mixin''up in our troubles? 28956 Why should I?"
28956Why? 28956 Why?"
28956Why?
28956Will some one kindly tell me who the young lady is and where she lives?
28956Will you please take this?
28956Will you? 28956 Wo n''t you sit down?"
28956Yes? 28956 Yes?
28956Yes?
28956Yes?
28956Yes?
28956You call it that? 28956 You do nt''want to hang to him, do you, Sis?"
28956You have?
28956You mean stay to supper?
28956You want to feed th''buzzards?
28956_ Mi querida_,she asked,"what happened?"
28956_ What?_The word was in italics.
28956***** And the killer on the Court House steps?
28956Ai n''t she Jim Last''s own daughter already with th''guns?
28956Ai n''t you got no landmarks?"
28956An''how do you think you''ll get that?
28956An''how many others of th''settlers has gone through th''like?
28956An''how''d he get it?
28956An''what are you good for?
28956An''who dares to speak in a whisper about it?
28956And Ellen?
28956And yet-- she waited on his word, somehow-- held her hand from her sworn duty for a while, waiting-- for what?
28956Are you sick?"
28956Are you?"
28956But how''ll he live?
28956But should she have taken back the common courtesy of the offered meal?
28956But what''s this thing?"
28956But where would he ever find his?
28956But why should he trouble himself about her at all?
28956Ca n''t you describe it?"
28956Ca n''t you judge from them?"
28956Come out to Last''s, even to find a clew?
28956Courtrey?"
28956Did you kill him?"
28956Did you know that?"
28956Do n''t you know that?"
28956Do you mind if I wait?"
28956Do you want to go back to th''Pomos under th''Rockface?"
28956Ellen?
28956For what had she perfected herself in Jim Last''s art?
28956For what had she striven all these many months?
28956Goin''to homestead?"
28956Had Courtrey been square with her?
28956How dared you do it?"
28956How many men''s come in here, took up land,''sold out''to Courtrey an''went?
28956How would he feel toward her when the thing was done-- when she had killed Courtrey?
28956How?"
28956If it had n''t of ben that I love you, what you think I''d a- done to that bunch?
28956If this dark blot of blood had come from the veins of Billy now, of Conford, or Jack or Curly, her own men, would she have lost her grip like this?
28956In Lost Valley?
28956Is it, El Rey, old boy?"
28956Is your husband at home?"
28956John, what you mean?"
28956Kenset, where did you get this gun?"
28956My daddy was shot--_in th''back_--an''did you make one inquiry into the murder?
28956Nay, it was something bigger, stronger, sterner-- who shall say?
28956Nothin''you could judge him by?"
28956Now do you see why this is th''law?"
28956Now what on earth''ll we do?"
28956Oh, I know it all-- but what could I do?
28956Or was he even now lying stiff and stark somewhere in the high cuts, his dark eyes dull with death, that beating heart forever stilled?
28956Permits?
28956Some reason why I know I must some day go into its heart an''give myself up to it for a time?
28956That they were not the same sort of law-- that he and she would not agree?
28956Then why must she keep it up?"
28956They let her fence alone after that, but what''d they do outside?
28956Was Kenset really alive?
28956What an''who will he ride for?
28956What could he do when there was n''t another man in th''Valley dared to stand behind him?
28956What could she ever be?
28956What did he mean by Tharon Last?
28956What did he mean?
28956What did he want her to be?
28956What did it mean?
28956What did she mean by those words of hers about his law and hers?
28956What did she now?
28956What do you think you''re doin''?"
28956What had he promised?
28956What have you been doing?"
28956What mattered the little copper- coloured badge on his breast?
28956What outfit?"
28956What say you?"
28956What vital emotion had gripped him that his usually quiet tongue had rushed into that torrential speech that dealt with life and death?
28956What was Courtrey doing?
28956What was Tharon Last to him?
28956What was Tharon Last, anyway?
28956What was it now that rode in his saddle-- the saddle with the long dark stain?
28956What was plain killing?
28956What was she to him?
28956What was she, anyway, this wild, sweet creature of the wilderness who held herself aloof from his friendship, and said that she was"sworn?"
28956What was this cold fire that burned him when he thought of her pulling those sinister blue guns on Courtrey?
28956What was this matter of"grazing permits"of which he had spoken at the Stronghold?
28956What was this trembling that seized her limbs?
28956What was to be the end of the race?
28956What were you before you took th''oath of office?
28956What you ben a- doin''sence I helped you hang th''picture?"
28956What''s wrong?"
28956When?"
28956Where and who is your Superior Judge?"
28956Where was she going, she and El Rey, with her enemies behind and coming fast?
28956Who of us has ever seen Courtrey let Bolt run like he wanted to?
28956Who says Last''s ai n''t on th''map in Lost Valley?"
28956Who was this upstart, anyway, to come setting signs and marks in the land that had been theirs from time immemorial?
28956Who?
28956Why did the stars, come out on the purple sky, shift so strangely to her eyes?
28956Why did you shoot when you knew right well I''d get him myself?"
28956Why do n''t you go back to your cabin an''your pictures an''books an''things, an''let us work out our own affairs?"
28956Why not take him for a run along the plain?
28956Why should he bother with the moral code of Lost Valley?
28956Why should they not, since none objected?
28956Why was it so?
28956Why?"
28956Will you come?"
28956Will you get down and let me show you my house, here in my glade?"
28956Would it not have been better to let him stay and meet Conford who would have been in at noon?
28956Would she have gone as unerringly to the Secret Way?
28956You are afraid-- of what?"
28956You know that kind?"
28956You were wise to tell us to go ahead if you were not here-- what did you look for?"
28956You''ll go over Black Coulee way, wo n''t ye, Dan?"
28956asked Service,"about you a- makin''threats?"
28956begged the man,"do n''t want to stay at th''Stronghold after this?"
28956he asked Bullard, the proprietor of The Golden Cloud,"ai n''t come in yet?"
28956he asked,"what did you do?"
28956he complained,"do n''t you ever forget that?
28956he said, and there was a light suspicion of thickness in his voice,"my wife got com- ny?"
28956he said,"what makes you think that?"
28956he snapped,"what''s this?"
28956he yelled, standing in his stirrups,"what''s this?"
28956said Conford quickly,"what was it like, Tharon?
28956said Tharon Last with an intake of her breath,"Oh, where do they make such things?"
28956said Tharon,"a settler?
28956said Tharon,"where''s that, Billy?"
28956said the rider, softly,"what''s this?"
28956she asked,"north or south?"
28956she cried,"by takin''my work out of my hands like this?
28956she pressed, with the born tyranny of the loving woman,"have you got that pain in your stomach again?"
28956she said softly,"where did you get that?"
28956she would say whimsically,"you think Courtrey''s goin''to cart me off livin''?"
29748Ai n''t it, though?
29748Ai n''t you the feller they call; the Duke of Chimney Butte?
29748All right, is she?
29748And you let her get away?
29748Are there others besides Jedlick?
29748Are they taking the stragglers that get through where the fence is cut, or coming after them?
29748Are you goin''to sidestep in favor of Jedlick? 29748 Are you going to turn me down on the first request I ever made of you, Duke?"
29748Are you hurt?
29748Ben Jedlick? 29748 Ben?
29748Burned?
29748By the Duke of-- the Duke of-- is them three links of saursage, Siwash?
29748Ca n''t we patch up a truce between us for the time I''m here?
29748Can we get through this fence?
29748Did n''t Jedlick try to hang on?
29748Did she promise you she would n''t cut it, Duke?
29748Did somebody get him at last?
29748Did you ever hear of him killing anybody else?
29748Did you know her before you came here?
29748Did you make up?
29748Did you see that?
29748Did you take the job?
29748Do n''t she ever write to you?
29748Do n''t you reckon we might need a couple of posts, Duke?
29748Do they still cut her fences and run off her stock?
29748Do you feel it lonesome here?
29748Does he live around here?
29748Duke,said she coaxingly,"would n''t it be worth something to you, personally, to have your troubles settled without a fight?
29748Even if you stayed back there on the hills somewhere and watched them you would n''t do it, Duke?
29748Goin''in pardners with Vesta?
29748Has she cut the fence lately over there, Duke?
29748Have you been sick, Duke?
29748Have you ever taken a shot at him?
29748Have you got some wire and tools around here handy, Miss Philbrook?
29748How did he save your life, Duke?
29748How far do you aim to go, Duke?
29748How long ago was that?
29748How long are you going to keep it up?
29748How many head have you got in this pasture?
29748How will you manage the oyster parlor?
29748How''re you feelin'', old sport?
29748How''s old Whetstone?
29748Hurt me? 29748 I did n''t see Jedlick around the ranch up there; what do you suppose become of him?"
29748I expect I may come then, Duke-- or what is your real name?
29748I wonder what we''re goin''to run into down, there?
29748I wonder where she''s at?
29748If she comes back again, what will you do?
29748In the pen over there?
29748Is he in town tonight, do you reckon?
29748Is it so hard for you to forget her, Duke?
29748Is she running the ranch?
29748Is the girl still here?
29748Killed him and took his horse? 29748 Lawrence?"
29748Lookin''for me? 29748 Make''em out of?
29748Maybe the next day?
29748Me? 29748 Me?
29748Neighbors livin''off of you, are they? 29748 Oh, agent, are you?"
29748One of them fellers pulled his gun on that old nigger-- did you see him, Duke?
29748Outfit? 29748 Quite a sight by night, is n''t it?"
29748Ranch, innercence; what range was you ridin''on?
29748Saved your life?
29748See who in the morning, Duke?
29748Some writer, ai n''t she, Duke?
29748Sure,said Taterleg, hopefully,"you''re all right, ai n''t you, old sport?"
29748That girl''s got purty eyes, ai n''t she?
29748Tomorrow, do you think?
29748Vesta; do you reckon she''ll ever come back any more?
29748Was n''t it hell? 29748 Was you aimin''to sell Whetstone and go on the train, Duke?"
29748Well, what sort of a proposal were you going to make, Duke?
29748Well, where in the name of mustard did you learn to ride?
29748Well, where''re we headin''for now?
29748Were you looking for somebody?
29748What are Jedlick''s attractions? 29748 What are you goin''to make oysters out of in Wyoming?"
29748What are you going to do about it?
29748What business does he foller?
29748What did she want you to do that for, do you reckon?
29748What did you do with his gun?
29748What did you do?
29748What did you think of her?
29748What do you care what he does to him? 29748 What do you know about anything that''s happened to me?"
29748What do you suppose Jedlick intends to do to you?
29748What feller do you mean?
29748What feller? 29748 What have you got in that alligator, Sheriff, that you''re so careful not to set it down and forget it?"
29748What in the world do you want them for, just for one day?
29748What is it, Grace?
29748What is the other tune?
29748What kind of a horse is that you''re ridin'', son?
29748What outfit was you with before you started out sellin''them tooth- puller- can- opener machines, son?
29748What would you do?
29748What you started to find, Duke?
29748What''s Kerr been up to?
29748What''s he doin''out there-- where''s he been?
29748What''s the occasion?
29748What?
29748When did she come back?
29748When was you aimin''to start, Duke?
29748Where do you fellers think you''re goin''?
29748Where does the flier stop after it passes Misery, going west?
29748Where''s Jim?
29748Where''s my gun? 29748 Where''s that outlaw you won from Jim Wilder?"
29748Which one of them sent you a letter?
29748Which one of''em''s Kerr?
29748Which one?
29748Which up, Duke?
29748Which?
29748Who comes next?
29748Who cut''em off?
29748Who do you mean, rung you in, you little, flannel- faced fiste? 29748 Who is that?"
29748Who started it?
29748Who was that hopped a horse like he was goin''for the doctor, and tore off?
29748Who was that shootin''around so darned careless?
29748Who was your nigger last year, young feller?
29748Why ca n''t you boys stop here a while and help me out?
29748Why do n''t you tell me, Grace?
29748Why do n''t you write to her, Taterleg?
29748Why not Jedlick? 29748 Why, I thought you was goin''to stay till Vesta left, Duke?"
29748Why, you''re not goin''to jump the job, are you?
29748Will you be over this way again, Grace?
29748Will you get down, Grace? 29748 Would you, Duke?"
29748Yes, sir?
29748You caught her cutting the fence?
29748You did n''t ask her? 29748 You did?
29748You do n''t have to keep him in here, I guess, do you?
29748You do n''t mean Nick?
29748You do n''t tell me?
29748You mean I ought n''t sell the cattle, Duke?
29748You mean Jedlick?
29748You mean----?
29748You said you''d put off goin''till mornin'', Duke?
29748You wanted me to come, did n''t you, Grace?
29748You''ll do it, anyhow, wo n''t you, Duke, for me?
29748You''ll do it, you''ll do it, Duke?
29748You''ll kind of run into him natural, wo n''t you, Duke, and not let him think I tipped you off?
29748You''ll wait on me a little while longer, wo n''t you?
29748You''re a terrible rough feller, ai n''t you?
29748You''re aimin''to come back in the spring and go pardners with her on the sheep deal, ai n''t you, Duke?
29748You''re the Duke of Chimney Butte, are you?
29748_ She_ did?
29748_ You_ did?
29748= A BACHELOR HUSBAND= Can a woman love two men at the same time?
29748= THE PHANTOM LOVER= Have you not often heard of someone being in love with love rather than the person they believed the object of their affections?
29748And all the time she was talkin''to me like that, where do you reckon that Jedlick feller was at?"
29748Any of you fellers got a horse you want to trade the Duke for his bicycle?"
29748Are you ready?"
29748Blood between them?
29748CHAPTER XVII HOW THICK IS BLOOD?
29748Can a girl, born in rather sordid conditions, lift herself through sheer determination to the better things for which her soul hungered?
29748Curious, was n''t it?"
29748Did n''t you hear her call me a gentleman, Duke?"
29748Did n''t you hear his hoss- wrangler call him Duke?"
29748Do n''t you think we''d better go down?"
29748Do you reckon she''ll ever come back to the ranch any more when she goes away?"
29748Do you see any knife scars in me, or feel any bullet holes anywhere?
29748Do you suppose she can be sincere with you and keep this thing covered up in her heart?
29748Do you want to sell him, Duke?"
29748Ever see one of''em?"
29748He paused reminiscently; then he said:"Where was you aimin''to camp tonight, Duke?"
29748Him and another feller fell out over----""Have you heard from Nettie lately?"
29748How did they come to give it to you?"
29748How was he to know where she had left the train, or whither she had turned afterward, or journeyed, or where she lodged now?
29748In case that Vesta overtook her, what would she do?
29748Look at him-- did you ever see anything to match it?"
29748Now, in the sunshine of her presence, would it flourish and grow green, or wither in its mistaken worship and die?
29748Or brains?
29748Perhaps, and who can tell?
29748Perhaps, and who knows, and why not?
29748Rustlers are runnin''her cattle off, cuttin''her fences----""Fences?"
29748She had warned him, but in the face of things as they had taken place, what would it avail a man to turn his back on the arrangements of destiny?
29748The landlord called over his shoulder to his daughter:"Alta, when did Vesta Philbrook come back?"
29748Then Lambert:"Plannin''to leave tonight, are you Taterleg?"
29748Then she:"I thought the man they call the Duke of Chimney Butte was working on this side of the ranch?"
29748Thicker than water?
29748Was you aimin''to take the flier there?"
29748Well, what in the name of snakes did you come up here for?"
29748Were they looking for work?
29748Were you talking to her long?"
29748What better could that rough country offer?
29748What could a girl want to borrow five hundred head of cattle for?
29748What could a man reasonably expect of a girl with such people as Sim Hargus as her daily associates?
29748What did they want of her?
29748What do you reckon?"
29748What do you think of it, kid?"
29748What had come over Vesta to change her so completely in this little while?
29748What in the world would she get out of holding them in her possession one day and then turning them back into the pasture?
29748What is the good of an imagination if a man can not ride it, and feel the wind in his face as he flies over the world?
29748What kind of an outfit?"
29748What was blood?
29748What''s good looks by the side of money?
29748What''s that feller rubbin''on him, do you reckon?"
29748When, where, would a man ever have a chance to see such a race again?
29748Where''s that horse you raced the train on?"
29748Where, indeed, would the journey that he was shaping in his intention that minute carry him?
29748Who could tell?
29748Who else is there sitting in this Alta game?"
29748Who is he?"
29748Who is he?"
29748Who knows?
29748Why had they brought him there to show him that burning coal- pit?
29748Why should he always be drawing comparisons between her and Vesta, to her disadvantage in all things?
29748Why, Duke?
29748Will you do me a favor, Duke, a simple favor, but one that means the world and all to me?"
29748Will you let us see them Do- it- Alls?"
29748Wo n''t you please leave the fence- cutting to the men of the family, if it has to be done, after this?"
29748_ Why do n''t you come and get me, Mr. Duke?_ This was the message it bore.
23730A crutch, is ut? 23730 An old Indian woman-- did he bring her to this camp?"
23730An''did he sind ye down afoot an''expict me to shtroll back wi''ye, th''both av us on crutches?
23730An''phwat''ll ye do wid um now ye''re here?
23730An''where is she now, Irish?
23730An''who the hell are_ you_?
23730An''ye say Misther Appleton sint ye up to wor- rk in Moncrossen''s camp?
23730And happiness?
23730And there has never been another?
23730And what do you think?
23730And why?
23730And will you go back with me and work the rest of the winter for Moncrossen?
23730And yet, what, little girl,asked Appleton, smiling fondly upon her--"what are you thinking about?
23730And you are offering me the choice of these jobs?
23730And, oh, Hubert dear, do you remember the organ? 23730 And_ these_ are the facts upon which you base your accusation?"
23730Are the horses ready?
23730Are_ you_ an Indian?
23730Bill what?
23730Bill what?
23730Bill? 23730 Bonds-- bonds-- what bonds?"
23730But how am I to pay for all this? 23730 But the bonds?"
23730But what I want to know,he persisted, with a frown of perplexity,"is, where am I?"
23730But why am I here?
23730But, dear, we are coming back here?
23730But, girl, do n''t you realize what it means? 23730 But, in the searching, he may come upon the lodge, and in his rage, who can tell what he would do?"
23730But, the letters-- you never took them out-- never read them?
23730By the way,the boss growled,"what''s yer name-- back where you come from?"
23730Ca n''t he see the drive? 23730 Can I buy blankets here?
23730D''ye know Moncrossen?
23730D''ye mane ye do n''t know about th''bird''s- eye?
23730D''yez happin to know is th''b''y up yonder?
23730Did he not strike fear to the heart of the great Moncrossen with a look of his eye? 23730 Did not Lacombie die?"
23730Did she jump off the sled an''make a get- away?
23730Did she, now? 23730 Did you ever see this man before?"
23730Did you find him, Daddy?
23730Did you have a hard trip, dear? 23730 Do I not know all your thoughts?"
23730Do I not know that fire can not burn you nor water drown? 23730 Do n''t you_ know_, sweetheart, that there has never been another?
23730Do you know why Jacques hates Moncrossen, and why Wa- ha- ta- na- ta hates all white men?
23730Do you mean that it is a frame- up? 23730 Do you want my whole outfit for those things?"
23730Do you_ think_ he took them?
23730Do_ you_ know?
23730Do_ you_ think he took them?
23730Does she think Bill took those bonds?
23730Drunk, were you?
23730Ever handle horses?
23730For goodness''sake, Eth, are n''t you ever going to finish? 23730 For me?"
23730Fronte McKim?
23730Fure A.M., is ut? 23730 Had_ he_ given up the fight?
23730Have you a canoe?
23730Have you still got my matches?
23730He has come again into the woods?
23730He said ye c''d make ut in two days?
23730How about last night in front of Shanley''s? 23730 How about you, captain?"
23730How did you know I was n''t drowned in the river?
23730How do_ you_ know?
23730How is he?
23730How is the head?
23730How long have I been here?
23730How many times must I tell you not to pull your mustache, dear? 23730 How much?"
23730How you come?
23730How''bout it, Wabishke; leetle fire- water make yer belt fit better? 23730 How''s the foot?"
23730How''s the foot?
23730I am but a girl and know nothing of logs, but, is it not better that he return down the river without searching?
23730I know Appleton, and I know we''ll get ours in the spring, but what I want to know is: when I get out, can I come to you for a job?
23730I mean, since-- since you went away?
23730I mean, who helped you pull me out of the drink?
23730I suppose you said good- by to your_ other_ friends last night?
23730I who have sat at your side through the long days of your sickness and listened to the voice of the fever- spirit? 23730 I wish you would tell me who it was that suggested leaving out young Mr. Holbrooke, and coming here so that Ethel could meet this_ man_?"
23730I wonder if he wants to? 23730 I wonder where Moncrossen is now?"
23730Indeed?
23730Irish,he asked,"where is the van?
23730Is it not enough, O Wa- ha- ta- na- ta,she cried,"that Moncrossen, the evil one, hates this man?
23730Is it so amusing, then-- my going?
23730Is it the boy''s fault that he is a McKim?
23730Is n''t that a dangerous admission? 23730 Isn''t-- isn''t there a real Ethel-- somewhere?"
23730It''s a man''s game,he murmured as he spread his blankets,"and I will win out; but why?"
23730Jeanne, Jeanne,he said;"why have you come?
23730Know anything about lumber?
23730Loiked um, did he? 23730 Look here, young man,"Bill replied wrathfully,"do you realize that we are in a mighty bad fix, right this minute?
23730Match?
23730May I ask where I will find a man called Daddy Dunnigan?
23730Me b''y,he said,"av yer plans is changed-- wor- rd from th''gir- rl, or what not, that''ll be takin''ye back to Noo Yor- rk-- ye''ll take me wid ye?
23730No like?
23730Not much for scenery, is it?
23730Now that we''re all acquainted,he ventured--"how about a little game of seven- up, just to pass away the time?
23730Now what?
23730Now, just how much-- or, how little did she tell you?
23730Oh, ca n''t you see?
23730Oh, it is, is it? 23730 Oh, that''s it, eh?
23730Oh, that''s it? 23730 Oh, you hain''t, eh?"
23730Phwat ar- re they doin''at Creed''s?
23730Phwere from?
23730Phwere ye goin''?
23730Pretty good man, was he?
23730Rackets?
23730Say, Bill, you are n''t going to marry Blood River Jack''s sister, are you?
23730She-- er-- met him-- didn''t she?
23730So Buck Moncrossen sint ye afther me, did he?
23730So that''s the way he worked it?
23730So ye tur- rned in an''give th''crayther himsilf a foight-- an''ye win ut? 23730 So ye''ve come back, hev ye?"
23730So you are Daddy Dunnigan?
23730So you are really in earnest about going to work?
23730So you swiped the greener''s wolf- hide, did you? 23730 So you think you''ll make a lumberjack, do you?"
23730Sur- re, Oi know''d ye_ wuz_--didn''t Oi see ye go undher th''logs wid me own eyes? 23730 Tell me, please, what in time you women have got packed in those half a dozen trunks, then?
23730The bird''s- eye?
23730The mother of this girl?
23730The woman?
23730To- night?
23730Trade rifles?
23730Wants you broke in, does he? 23730 Was it?"
23730Was they somethin''you wanted?
23730We must go then,said Bill, and added more to himself than to Jeanne:"I wonder if he would_ dare_?"
23730Well--there was an ugly note in the cigar salesman''s voice--"a straight flush beats four aces, do n''t it?"
23730Well?
23730Well?
23730What difference does that make? 23730 What do you care?
23730What do you know about these logs-- and of what I was thinking?
23730What do you mean-- you know why I am here? 23730 What do you mean?
23730What do you mean?
23730What do you mean?
23730What has it got to do with Moncrossen-- and me?
23730What is a bird''s- eye game?
23730What is that to you, oh, Wa- ha- ta- na- ta, good or bad, if he kills Moncrossen?
23730What is the matter with the Swede?
23730What is this bird''s- eye thing?
23730What is who for?
23730What kind of position were you thinking of? 23730 What next-- for me?"
23730What was it Appleton said about battle, murder, and sudden death? 23730 What were you saying?"
23730What worse can you say?
23730What''s the idea of the ell on the bunk- house?
23730What-- don''t drink?
23730What?
23730What?
23730What?
23730When do I start?
23730Where are the securities you were supposed to have delivered to Strang, Liebhardt& Co.?
23730Where is Bill?
23730Where is Sarawak? 23730 Where is she?"
23730Where y''goin''?
23730Who are you?
23730Who are you?
23730Who bring sorrow and death among the women of my people? 23730 Who chose his mother?
23730Who done that?
23730Who is this Jeanne? 23730 Who is this woman with the hair of gold and the eyes of the summer sky?"
23730Who''s_ we_?
23730Who, then, among white men is good? 23730 Who-- me?
23730Why ca n''t he die?
23730Why did he strike him?
23730Why did they name you that?
23730Why do you think that I am good?
23730Why not?
23730Why not?
23730Why not?
23730Why, Margaret, you do n''t really mean that you want to go into the woods-- seriously?
23730Why, dear, what difference does that make? 23730 Will you sell those?"
23730Wonder who''s he?
23730Would you like to send any messages,she asked--"telegrams, to let your people know you are safe?"
23730Ye ai n''t tellin''me ye''re timperence?
23730Ye''ll take a wee nip befoor ye eat?
23730Yeh, is that_ so_? 23730 Yes-- he was drowned last spring, was n''t he?
23730Yes-- that is, no-- I mean, you_ are_ pretty, are n''t you?
23730Yes?
23730You are Vic Chenault?
23730You called?
23730You get that, do you? 23730 You keel_ loup- garou_ with knife?"
23730You knew him well-- this Bill?
23730You know how to swamp good?
23730You mind Jake Sonto''s place, where big Myrtle hangs out? 23730 You say Creed returned to Hilarity and told of having seen me?"
23730You will surely return into the North?
23730You''re a bashful soul, are n''t you? 23730 _ Me?_"And, with a half- smothered, frightened gasp, tore her hand free and fled swiftly into the forest.
237308, where ye camped comin''in?"
23730Ai n''t he a crackerjack, though?
23730Am Oi roight?"
23730An''c''d on- ny man live t''rough th''loike av that?
23730An''did n''t th''jam go rippin''an''tearin''into th''rapids?
23730An''phwat does th''gir- rl think av ut?"
23730An''phwat''ll ye be doin''?
23730An''phwere ye ben kapin''yersilf?"
23730An''phwin ar- re ye goin''to be marrit?
23730An''phy shud he?
23730An''s''posin''he found th''bum- legged driver froze shtiff on th''tote- road phwere he''d made out to hobble a few moiles on his crutch-- phwat thin?
23730An''she is dead?"
23730And are you, who scorn these things-- are you bad?"
23730And did he not hunt up Leduc the next morning, and, upon the skidway, smash the nose of him and knock four teeth from his jaw?"
23730And has not Jacques told me of how you killed the_ loup- garou_; of how you are hated by Moncrossen, and feared by Creed?
23730And has not Wabishke told in the woods, to the wonder of all, how you drink no whisky, but pour it upon your feet?"
23730And how I cried half the night for pure joy when you brought it home on the ox- sled?
23730And how long it took us to save up the sixty dollars?
23730And is it really turned to cheese or just turned around?"
23730And only have you for five or six months in the year?
23730And that if we ever get out of this, and your Uncle Appleton do n''t give you a darn good whaling, I_ will_?"
23730And that it is your fault?
23730And that there was only about one chance in a thousand that I would find you?
23730And that''s_ my_ business-- see?"
23730And thus would he some day return-- to_ her_?
23730And was he now trying to bring about a reconciliation through the medium of his father?
23730And was it not_ her_ name that sprang to his lips in the half- consciousness of a few moments ago?
23730And was this the end?"
23730And where are the fathers of the light- skinned breeds of the rivers?
23730And why did he sit gazing with tight- pressed lips into the flaring, spitting little fire?
23730And why had she accompanied him on his journey out of the woods?
23730And why should he return to her?"
23730And your arm, sir?"
23730And yours?"
23730And, with three blows of his fist, lay the mighty Stromberg upon the floor like a wet rag?
23730Are n''t you ashamed to speak so disrespectfully of Mr. Carmody?
23730Are these the same cards we have been using?"
23730At length the older man spoke:"Where were you last night?"
23730Bill laughed:"This wolf-- the big white one-- seems to enjoy a reputation, then?"
23730But what''s_ he_ for?"
23730But you know not how to do it, for the logs must go down the river and Moncrossen must come up the river?"
23730But, tell me ye did n''t run away from ut-- ye''re goin''back?"
23730By the way, Daddy, how are you fixed for money?"
23730CHAPTER XXVI MAN OR TOY MAN?
23730Can you guess the answer?"
23730Can you tell me how many days I have been here?"
23730Could it be that Bill was still in New York?
23730Could it be that here was something he had missed?
23730Daddy Dunnigan leaned forward and, laying a gnarled hand upon his shoulder, shook him roughly in his excitement:"Yer name, b''y?
23730Did he not come without hurt through the fire when Creed locked him in the burning shack?
23730Did he not kill with a knife Diablesse, the werwolf, whom all men feared, and with an axe chop in pieces the wolves of her pack?
23730Did n''t I hear it that night over on Ten Fork?
23730Did not Lacombie die?"
23730Did she remember me?"
23730Did you ever serve a term in the Legislature?"
23730Did you not beat down the greatest of Moncrossen''s fighting men?
23730Did you say he was going to marry her?"
23730Do any one of you men happen to be named Dunnigan?"
23730Do n''t ye know her?
23730Do n''t you know that this is a_ regular_ blizzard-- the kind that kills men at their own doors-- and that it may last for a week?
23730Do you remember that day, and how mad you were?
23730Ever been West?"
23730Guess I just dreamt about a bunch of souses turkey- trottin''along the sidewalk?
23730Guess you was n''t there, eh?
23730Had Creed in some manner bungled the job?
23730Had he not needed just that to bring him to a realization of his responsibilities?
23730Had she followed to taunt her to her face?
23730Had she not been justified?
23730Had she not, at the sacrifice of her own love, spurred and strengthened his purpose to make good?
23730Had there been an accident, and was he hurt-- possibly dead?
23730Have n''t you seen him, Daddy?"
23730Have you ever invited that confidence?
23730Have you ever sought his companionship-- even his acquaintance?"
23730He even considered doubling back; but what was the use?
23730He spoke again:"You thought I was done with you, did you?
23730He was off the river; yet, when had he ascended the bank?
23730He was under obligations to her, and-- was that the_ only obligation_?
23730How about you, dad?"
23730How do you know?
23730How much did we have when we were married?
23730Hubert Appleton, are n''t you_ ashamed_ of yourself?
23730Hubert Appleton, do you mean to tell me that you would, for a minute, think of allowing your niece to_ marry_ such a man?"
23730I am a McKim-- do you hear?
23730I am here-- Ethel-- don''t you know me?"
23730I guess I dreamt that, too, eh?
23730I hope Eth wo n''t worry; we''ll prob''ly have to stay here all night, wo n''t we?"
23730I myself will tell Wa- ha- ta- na- ta that no harm has befallen you, and----""Do you think she will believe_ you_?
23730I suppose you are wondering why I called?"
23730I tell you I''m in bad all the ways around, with the whole force passin''me the grin an''askin''me have I saw Broadway Bill lately?
23730I''m hungry-- aren''t you?"
23730In about a half an hour ye''ll come limpin''in an''ask fer Dunnigan, an''will he cook out th''sayson fer Moncrossen?
23730Is it not that you would prevent Moncrossen from taking these logs?
23730Is it possible that_ he_----?"
23730Is it that he eats to- day with his people?"
23730Is it these men that are good in the sight of your woman?
23730Is she proud av ye?
23730Just once more I_ must_ have a taste of the old, hard, happy days-- can''t I?"
23730Look here, Irish-- what are you talking about?
23730Me?
23730Meanwhile I''ll put the old hag where the dogs wo n''t bite her, an''while you stay away she do n''t eat-- see?
23730Of Moncrossen?
23730Of Wa- ha- ta- na- ta?
23730Of the attack upon her?
23730Of the shooting of Jacques?
23730Of what was he thinking?
23730Oh, Hubert, wo n''t it be just_ grand_?"
23730Oh, ca n''t you see there has been some mistake?
23730Oh, ca n''t you see?
23730Oi mane yer rale name-- th''whole av ut?"
23730One week ago did he not hear how one night in the bunk- house Leduc tried to make the little boy drink whisky?
23730Or had he passed it up?
23730Or is she wan av thim that thinks ut aisy to quit be just lavin''ut alone?
23730Or, had she, by raising a barrier between them, removed his one incentive to great effort?
23730Phwat fer job did he give yez?"
23730Phwat is yer name?"
23730Poor boy, I have often wondered who he was-- a gentleman, you said?"
23730Pretty good storm, is n''t it?
23730Quite a long score, take it first and last, is n''t it, Moncrossen?"
23730R- r- reputation, is ut?
23730Remember the time Ross and I got lost, and nearly scared you womenfolks to death?"
23730Say, Bill, how did he know it was going to snow?"
23730Say, Eth, why do n''t you marry Bill?
23730Speak, girl; why have you come to me?"
23730That his going away had been an empty threat?
23730The men of the logs, who drink whisky, and fight among themselves, and kill one another?
23730There are sealed chapters in the lives of most men-- why should I care?
23730There was nothing small in his make- up; and for why is whisky, but to drink while it lasts?
23730Thin how''d ye git here?"
23730This is not a hospital, is it?"
23730Thought I''d forgot you, an''the fight the old she- tiger put up that night on Broken Knee?
23730Was he sick?
23730Was it a human cry or from the throat of another of her hell- begotten breed?"
23730Was it about Bill?
23730Was it true-- what he had said?
23730Was_ he_ making good-- somewhere?
23730Wha''d the old man send you up here for, anyhow?"
23730What are you going to do about it?"
23730What chance has he had?
23730What did you stick up for him for if you hated him?
23730What do women know of a strong man''s play?
23730What do you mean?"
23730What had been their relations?
23730What had she been to him?
23730What had they told of this man in the woods?
23730What have you done for him?
23730What if the boat gets tipped over or smashed in the ice?"
23730What is this man to you?"
23730What is your business?"
23730What is your name?"
23730What kind of talk is that?
23730What was it he said the day she told him of the affair on Broken Knee?
23730What was it the girl was singing as he passed her window only a few nights ago-- when he paused in the darkness of the clearing to listen?
23730What was she?
23730What''ll y''give to boot?"
23730What''s yourn?"
23730Whence comes the whisky that is the curse of the red men of the North?
23730Where are they at?"
23730Where d''ye git that rig?"
23730Where does he come in on this?"
23730Where does he live?
23730Where is Pierre, thy brother?
23730Where is the boss?"
23730Where ye goin''ter hide when the owner of them team comes a huntin''of''em?
23730Where''s your Broadway Bills of ten years ago?
23730Where?"
23730Who is to blame?
23730Who turned it?
23730Who was she?
23730Whose fault is it that he has grown up reckless and wild?
23730Why did he not speak?
23730Why did you strike him?"
23730Why had he called?
23730Why was she here?
23730Why?
23730Will we see him?"
23730Would he come clean through the moil, winning honor and his place among men?
23730Would you warm the rattlesnake in your bosom, to die from its poisoned tooth?
23730Ye damn''shcoundril, ai n''t ye dhrounded at all, at all?
23730You are n''t mad, are you, Bill?
23730You back a''ready?
23730_ No!_ What ever put that into your head?"
23730and it shall bring us luck-- and-- and happiness?"
23730cried the man,"why have you done this thing?"
23730she cried,"what right had you?
2471Ah, yes; but what will you? 2471 And east?"
2471And for this you would abandon the cause?
2471And how did you believe your absence would be accounted for?
2471And how do you communicate with Mexico-- with your Government?
2471And how is it with us, dear friends? 2471 And how was she so interested in us, pray?"
2471And if it were SANCTUARY I was seeking?
2471And north?
2471And poor Captain Bunker?
2471And poor Mrs. Markham and Mrs. Brimmer-- you''d have left them to the boats and the Lascars, I suppose?
2471And she is now here?
2471And the ship?
2471And these?
2471And what idea did he convey about YOU?
2471And what if it were all true?
2471And what is to be done for me?
2471And what of the two mates who were here?
2471And what''s beyond that?
2471And what''s south?
2471And when does a ship come?
2471And who are you,said Hurlstone, more calmly,"who are willing to do this for a stranger?"
2471And who will believe this pretty story?
2471And you are grateful to all?
2471And you had n''t?
2471And you suspect him of this infamous act?
2471And you want to find him?
2471And you?
2471Are you coming with me?
2471Are you ill?
2471But Mrs. Markham has nothing to do with all this?
2471But WHAT has happened?
2471But how are you?
2471But how do they account for my friendship with YOU-- you, who are supposed to be a correspondent-- an accomplice of Perkins?
2471But how would you have prevented it?
2471But how?
2471But if he''s shut up in his state- room, who''s giving the orders?
2471But if she asks an interview,persisted the priest,"on the pretense of having your advice?"
2471But the other ladies? 2471 But what I want to know is this: Is it to Senor Perkins that we ought to be thankful for seeing you here at all?"
2471But what about the Church?
2471But why should he want to leave the ship?
2471But will you swear it?
2471But, if this is so, why have n''t they DONE something?
2471But,said Brace, stopping suddenly,"does n''t he know that she has a husband living?"
2471By the chart we should be well east of Los Lobos island, d''ye see?
2471By the way, Markham, do you usually keep an opera- glass in your office in case of an emergency like this?
2471Can you keep a secret?
2471Did HE tell you,said the prisoner, looking after the sailor grimly,"that I tried to bribe him to let me go, but that I could n''t reach his figure?
2471Did she say she was from that place?
2471Did you notice anything queer in his eyes, Miss Keene?
2471Did you tell Brimmer yet?
2471Do they? 2471 Do you hear that?"
2471Do you know her?
2471Do you mean it, Diego?
2471Do you mean to say, James Markham, that you''ve seen Perkins, and it was he who told you we were here?
2471Do you mean to say,said Hurlstone impetuously,"that you will permit a hair of that innocent old man''s head to be harmed by those wretches?"
2471Do you really think so, Mr. Crosby? 2471 Do you remember the children giving you their offerings that day?"
2471Do you suppose they''re doing nothing?
2471Do you think I am lying?
2471Do you think we were ever in any real danger, down there, on the shore-- that day?
2471Do you usually get up this pretty surprise for visitors?
2471Does he know what year this is?
2471Equally-- from the beaming Senor Perkins, who smiles on all, to the gloomy Mr. Hurlstone, who smiles on no one?
2471Equally?
2471Equally?
2471For what? 2471 From what then?"
2471Going to shut for the day?
2471HER absence?
2471Hatch them?
2471Have you told the truth to him and to me?
2471Here!--with the door thrown open to any talebearer OR PERHAPS TO MY WIFE HERSELF? 2471 Here?"
2471How dare YOU enter here?
2471How did you come here?
2471How do I know that I shall not be arrested, like my friend?
2471How does he explain himself?
2471How many are still in the ship?
2471How near St. Roque does it set?
2471How''s Banks getting on with his crop?
2471How?
2471Hurlstone?
2471I do n''t think Clarissa did, either-- did you, dear? 2471 I say, Brimmer,"he added, after a pause, with a sudden assumption of larger gayety,"there''s nothing mean about Belle Montgomery, eh?
2471I see you do n''t swear anybody to secrecy,he said, with a laugh;"shall I speak to Crosby, or will you?"
2471I suppose Mrs. Brimmer and Miss Chubb interest themselves greatly in your-- in the Padre''s charities?
2471I used to think,she began--"you wo n''t be angry, will you?"
2471I wonder if that could have frightened those dear little midgets?
2471I wonder what that means?
2471I? 2471 I?
2471In the name of goodness, Barbara,said Mr. Brimmer, closing upon her, in a slow, portentous whisper,"where ARE your stockings?"
2471In two hours?
2471In what?--Is he mad?
2471Is it good-- bueno-- you know?
2471Is it not true that in your country any married woman shall duenna the young senorita?
2471Is it some love- test?
2471Is it? 2471 Is there none other coming?"
2471Is there some one taking care of you?
2471It has n''t seemed long,she said hastily; and then added, as if to turn the conversation,"What is this peninsula?
2471It seems to me,said Brace presently,"that Mrs. Brimmer has a good deal to say up your way?"
2471James Markham-- where''s your hand?
2471Knocked off cultivating to- day?
2471May I tell it to you? 2471 May we be permitted to know who is this person to whom we owe so great an obligation?"
2471My dear young friend,he said,"have you forgotten that on a far more important occasion to YOU, I showed no desire to pry into your secret?"
2471No?
2471Not his fault?
2471Quand finira ce drole representation?--et-- et-- qui est ce qui est l''entrepreneur?
2471Quien sabe?
2471Quien sabe?
2471Shall it be so? 2471 So that anybody seeking you there would not find you, and you would be believed to be dead?"
2471Steamer goin''in, eh?
2471Suppose we inquire? 2471 Surely the Council will not be severe with the man who was betrayed into their power by others equally guilty?"
2471Tell to me,she said suddenly,"is not that a custom of your country?"
2471The Gulf of California?
2471The Markham? 2471 The Senora Markham is perhaps beloved by the Pirate Perkins?"
2471The landing has been completed?
2471The pirate-- Perkins?
2471Then how do you get away from here?
2471Then it is n''t THAT that troubles you?
2471Then it is the young girl that shall come in the corridor and the married lady on the balcony?
2471Then the jig''s up?
2471Then there was n''t any Mr. Montgomery, of course?
2471Then we ai n''t goin''on to Mazatlan?
2471Then why did n''t you bring him along with you?
2471Then why does she refuse to give up her secret correspondence with the pirate Perkins?
2471Then why has he never obtained it?
2471Then why withhold anything from Him here?
2471Then you HAVE seen them,she said,"and you know their innocence, and the utter absurdity of this surveillance?"
2471Then you believe he''s lost?
2471Then you have been happy?
2471Then you have consented?
2471Then you never really saw the lady you admire?
2471Then you really intend to go ashore?
2471Then you think he had no other motive for leaving the ship?
2471Then you were not with her when she died?
2471There is further news?
2471There is still another-- a Senor Hurlstone-- who is missing? 2471 They will be here in five minutes; do you wish them to find you already here?"
2471WHAT has happened?
2471We must all go together,she said;"shall we not?"
2471Well, you shall have Dick then,said Miss Keene, laughing;"but was it for THAT you were seeking me?"
2471Well-- if I am in love with her, what then?
2471Well?
2471Well?
2471Well?
2471Well?
2471Were you not sent here by Winslow?
2471What IS the matter?
2471What are you thinking of? 2471 What did he say?"
2471What do you mean, Dick?
2471What do you mean?
2471What do you want me to do?
2471What does it mean?
2471What for?
2471What have we here?
2471What have you got to do to- night?
2471What have you to say to this?
2471What if I refuse?
2471What is it, then?
2471What is it?
2471What matters? 2471 What matters?
2471What on earth, or sea, ever set the old man off again?
2471What other motive could he have?
2471What''s this stuff? 2471 What''s up now?"
2471What? 2471 What?"
2471What?
2471When was this?
2471When?
2471Where are you going?
2471Where away?
2471Where away?
2471Where shall we find more worthy mortals to worship them than our young friends, the handsome Brace, the energetic Winslow, the humorous Crosby? 2471 Where''s the captain?"
2471Who are you? 2471 Who dared say that?"
2471Who knows?
2471Who told you that?
2471Who was this queer Montgomery woman, Dick?
2471Who''s Ulricardo?
2471Who''s he?
2471Who? 2471 Why do n''t you arrest the men?"
2471Why not?
2471Why should YOU go?
2471Why?
2471Why?
2471Why?
2471Will you swear that you will not even seek her to say farewell; for in that moment the wretched girl may shake your resolution?
2471YOU?
2471You are not frightened, Miss Keene?
2471You are not yet reconciled to Mr. Keene''s expedition, then?
2471You are the friend and colleague of Hurlstone, do n''t you see?
2471You do n''t happen to remember the direction of the current off shore when you were running up here?
2471You do not comprehend, then? 2471 You have told them-- NOTHING MORE?"
2471You refuse-- to-- to accept it?
2471You said that both the Comandante and Alcalde had arranged to send away certain ladies-- are you not mistaken?
2471You say you are going ashore?
2471You want ME, my good man?
2471You will help me, Father Esteban?
2471You will leave here-- this house?
2471You will not refuse me?
2471You will promise me that?
2471You will take a letter from me to the Archbishop, and put yourself under his care?
2471You would n''t surely abandon the nest again?
2471You? 2471 You?"
2471Ai n''t we going on to Mazatlan?"
2471Am I not free?
2471And how is dear Mr. Banks?
2471And if he was that exception-- what then?
2471And if we should go ashore here"--"Well?"
2471And there are a few more-- aren''t there, Ruiz?"
2471And where did YOU hear it?"
2471And would they not consider his return an act of cowardice?
2471And would you have been afraid to leave your cabin-- or are you joking?
2471Are you ready?
2471Are you tired of the ship?"
2471Brace?"
2471Brimmer?"
2471Brooks?"
2471But perhaps the priest might have been a confidant of his past, and had recalled the old affection in rivalry of her?
2471But was he sure of that?
2471But what about your duenna?
2471But what was he doing there?--and why had he not appeared with the others at the entertainment?
2471But what''s the use of it?
2471But what''s the use of talking?"
2471But which side had Todos Santos favored?
2471But who has changed the custom here?"
2471But,"he added, turning suddenly and almost rudely upon the priest,"do you know the meaning of this irruption of the outer world to ME?
2471But,"he added, turning towards the plateau again,"what are they doing now?
2471Can you believe that it is possible that they have never heard of this woman''s search for me?
2471Could it have been he who had haunted him?
2471Could there have been a more perfect illustration of it than the power that led us here?
2471Deuced pretty woman!--no make- up there, eh?"
2471Did he know it?
2471Did he know she was there?
2471Did you ever see anything so ridiculous-- and shameful, too-- as the''Ulricardo''business?
2471Do n''t you know me?"
2471Do n''t you see it?
2471Do n''t you see?
2471Do tell me-- what DID he say?
2471Do you know what that means to a woman in my profession?
2471Do you mean to say they do n''t know any history later than our old Revolutionary War?
2471Do you take?"
2471Do you think your silence in her presence is not a protestation that she, even she, child as she is, can read, with the cunning of her sex?"
2471For why?
2471Had Mrs. Markham any previous knowledge of the Senor''s real character?
2471Had anything occurred to renew his affection?
2471Had he wounded her in some other unknown way?
2471Had she effectively evaded contact with the others by leaving the garden through the little gate in the wall that entered the Mission enclosure?
2471Had you neither money nor credit to purchase clothes?
2471Have n''t they heard of the United States among them?
2471He believed Perkins; but was it possible that the Padre could be ignorant of the designs of his fellow- councilors?
2471He do n''t look as if his hat fitted him any too comfortably this morning, does he?"
2471He laughed, and went on still gayly,--"But what''s the use of anticipating?
2471He must have thought the danger great to have broken the Senor''s orders and come upon deck?
2471He suddenly lifted his eyes to Padre Esteban, and, half rising to his feet, said,--"Are we alone?"
2471He would have to see her first-- and if he did, how would he explain his real position?
2471He''s not going off on that wild- goose chase, after all?
2471Her present Government, in any event, do n''t represent either the Republic of Mexico or the people of Todos Santos-- don''t you see?
2471How could he be near enough to assist HER without again openly casting his lot among them?
2471How far is the next settlement?"
2471Hurlstone?"
2471I may laugh-- mayn''t I?"
2471I suppose it do n''t make any difference to you, Miss Keene, does it?"
2471I wonder what old Brimmer would say to his wife''s full- dress nightgown-- eh?"
2471I''ll speak to the captain-- I''ll complain to the consignees-- I''ve got business at Mazatlan-- I expect letters-- I"--"Business, my dear fellow?"
2471If she could be able to convince them of their blunder, would it be wise to do so?
2471If so, when and how had Perkins received the intelligence that brought him to Todos Santos?
2471In a little while we shall be separated-- why should it not be as friends?
2471Is he not?"
2471Is it not so?"
2471Is it not, then, that there is no duenna in your country?"
2471Is it not, then, the custom of the Americans?
2471Is that it?"
2471It would n''t do to go feeling round the settlement in the dark-- would it?
2471Just a few friends, eh?"
2471Know you not, then, of one Hurlstone, who is believed to be still in the ship Excelsior, and perhaps of the party who seized it?"
2471Let me rather speak of the social and literary triumphs of our little community, of our floating Arcadia-- may I say Olympus?
2471M''Carthy-- eh?"
2471Markham?"
2471May I venture to keep this gentle instrument as a reminder of the superior intellect it has so often crowned?
2471Might not this strange, unimpassioned, omniscient man already know HIS secret as he had known the others''?
2471Might she not serve them all-- even Hurlstone himself-- by saying nothing, and leaving the burden of proof to their idiotic accusers?
2471Nor California-- that we took from them during the late war?"
2471Or had she herself been unfortunate through any idle word to reopen the wound?
2471Padre Esteban avoided Hurlstone''s eyes as he answered with affected coolness,--"Quien sabe?
2471Perhaps it might be to HER advantage-- and if so, would he be justified in exposing its absurdity?
2471Perhaps you''ll tell me where you HAVE been?"
2471Pretty rough outside, ai n''t it?"
2471She''s a whole team and the little dog under the wagon, ai n''t she?
2471THAT?"
2471Tell to me quick,"she whispered, hastily putting her own little brown ear against Miss Keene''s mouth,"immediatamente, are you much happy?"
2471That''s only fair, is n''t it?"
2471The first American ship that comes in here-- eh?"
2471The man that wrote this letter may be mad-- but he is neither a pirate nor a thief-- and yet"--"He a pirate?"
2471The old man looks wrathy, do n''t he?
2471The young man replied, with a half reproachful gesture:"Do you, then, think me still so weak?
2471Then you have told her the story of your life?"
2471There is a Captain- General of port-- isn''t there?
2471To attend a married senora?"
2471Was it the excitement of danger that had overcome his reserve, and set free his compressed will and energy?
2471Was it to THIS he was returning after his despairing search for oblivion?
2471Was it too late yet?
2471Was she mortified that he had not first declared his passion-- he who had never dared to speak to her of love before?
2471Was there anything else in these somewhat commonplace details of vulgar and low intrigue than what he had told the priest?
2471Well, what''s the fact?
2471Were all these Americano husbands as sensitive and as gloomily self- sacrificing and expiating?
2471What ARE they looking at?"
2471What are YOU doing?"
2471What are you, little one?"
2471What did he talk about?"
2471What do you say to having a little supper with Miss Montgomery, eh?--perfectly proper, you know-- at our hotel?
2471What do you think they would have done to him?"
2471What does Dona Isabel say?"
2471What does Father Esteban tell you?
2471What have we turned round for?
2471What is the matter?"
2471What security had he at all?
2471What then?
2471When it no longer exists, there will be no parole-- don''t you see?"
2471When were they given?"
2471Where should you seek shelter but here?"
2471Who dare do this thing?"
2471Who dare talk like that?"
2471Who is sending the booty ashore, eh?"
2471Who''d have thought that sneak Hurlstone would have played his cards so well?
2471Who''s that in the boat?"
2471Who''s to pay for this?"
2471Why are your friends so polite to you?
2471Why do n''t you ask HIM?"
2471Why does every one love you so?"
2471Why should I worry myself, who can only assist him by passive obedience?
2471Why should he be so assured of her past?
2471Why should n''t she, hereafter, encourage that devotion as well as that sneer from this complacently beloved Mr. Hurlstone?
2471Why should we disturb their innocent complacency and tranquil enjoyment by information which can not increase and might impair their present felicity?
2471Why should we not look back upon our little world of this ship as a happy one?"
2471Why should we spoil any little surprise that our gallant captain may have in store for us?
2471Why should you abandon it?
2471Without replying to his question, she said quickly,--"You are better then, Mr. Hurlstone?
2471Would she answer the Comandante as Dona Barbara had answered HIM?
2471Yet, where could he go?
2471You are a blind-- a deaf-- to but one thing all the time?
2471You have heard the story of my wrongs?"
2471You have perhaps, in happier and more careless hours, heard me speak of Mrs. Euphemia M''Corkle, of Illinois?"
2471You know he''s off by the steamer-- day after to- morrow?"
2471You know what it means?
2471You would not conceal from the physician whom you asked for balsam either the wound, the symptoms, or the cause?
2471and Mr. Crosby?
2471and are you still resolved?"
2471and how comes this blessed privilege of seeing you alone?"
2471and she is of a distinct class, perhaps?"
2471and whence come you?"
2471asked Miss Keene,"What are''Breakers ahead''?"
2471is n''t it glorious?"
2471my dear Mrs. Markham, why should the Unknown always fill us with apprehension?
2471or was the news now being brought by this messenger whom he, Hurlstone, had supplanted?
2471repeated Miss Keene;"are you mad, too?"
2471said the young girl, letting the fire of her dark eyes soften to a look of almost childish appeal--"you will help me to intercede for him?
2471she exclaimed, with a sudden exaggerated start of horror,"what have I done?
2471what are you doing?"
2471what was that?"
2471what''s that?
2471what''s that?"
2471what''s that?"
2471you have classes?
2471you know not then what has happened?
19763''Cause why?
19763''Wo n''t you come up to the shack and have grub?'' 19763 ANY ROAD, AT ANY TIME, FOR ANYWHERE"25 V."CAN HE RIDE?"
19763About comin''up this here trail?

19763And left no one in charge?
19763And that is all-- now that you have found the road?
19763And then jump him?
19763And they quit?
19763And when you leave here?
19763And you can see them all right, son? 19763 And you chucked a rose out of the window to us?"
19763And you keep Sarko? 19763 And you know all about it already?"
19763And you think they are the men we saw out on the Mojave by the water- tank?
19763And you want me to see what I can do for this boy?
19763Any one-- er-- of the other side have an accident?
19763Any trouble lately?
19763Anybody hurt?
19763Anybody see you come across yesterday?
19763Anything doing?
19763Are you going to fight?
19763At the hospital?
19763Because the lady give us the makings do n''t say_ she_ smokes, does it?
19763Because you''re foolish with the heat, do n''t say I am, does it? 19763 Been hittin''the booze any?"
19763Been in town long?
19763Boyar is very conceited, are n''t you, Boy?
19763Breakfast, eh? 19763 But a chap may peek through the fence and watch, may n''t he?"
19763But ai n''t a guy got no rights in this country?
19763But did you?
19763But how did he know I had it? 19763 But how did you know?"
19763But how will you come back?
19763But how_ did_ you know?
19763But the bell and Moonstone Cañon?

19763Now, what if I do n''t indignify myself to the extent of crawlin''under that line fence?"
19763Now, what''s doin''?"
19763Our man Saunders?"
19763Out for a little pasear?"
19763Over there lay the hills and the shade and the road.... Somewhere beyond was Overland, his friend, penniless, hunted, hungry...."She brung you?"
19763Overland Red''s beard hid the quiver of his lips as he asked huskily:"And you would be comin''back on the road with your ole pal again?
19763Really?"
19763Red, he laughed kind of queer, and asked me,''Caught at what?''
19763Remember that?
19763Remember the chicken we swiped and et that night?
19763Remember the curve, like a snake unwindin''where she run round the hill, and nothin''beyond but space and the sun drippin''red in the ocean?
19763Remember the little fire beside the track, when we was''way up in the big hills?
19763Remember when she give us the makin''s and you got hot at me?"
19763Sabe?
19763Sabe?
19763Sabe?"
19763Sabe?"
19763Sabe?"
19763Sabe?"
19763Sabe?"
19763Same as me.... Overland Red''s kid pal, eh?
19763Say, Brand, what do you think that Yuma horse over at the Oro is worth?"
19763Say, are we campin''on your land?"
19763Say, did she yip about my borrowin''the cayuse?"
19763Say, do you believe preachin''ever did much good?"
19763Say, is this me?
19763Say, nobody got Red, did they?"
19763Say, what you been doin''lately, studyin''law or learnin''the piano?
19763Say, who''s the guy, the big one?"
19763Say, you do n''t want to borrow a pair of_ pants_, do you?"
19763Say, you think I''d''a''ever let you got this far if there had n''t been a lady present?
19763See?"
19763Semaphore is a sign ai n''t it?
19763Shall I have to ask you again?
19763Shall we turn Boyar into the corral?"
19763Since when?
19763Since when?"
19763So he said any_ Moonstoner_ eh?
19763So he''s foreman here, eh?
19763So that is the talisman?
19763So this flotsam of the range, this erstwhile tramp, this paradox of coarseness and sentiment, had an object in life?
19763So this was desert law?
19763So this was the end of all his planning and his toil?
19763Something of this was in the girl''s level gray eyes as she asked,"Why did you come up here, so far from the town and the railroad?"
19763Splendid system, is n''t it?"
19763Sun?
19763Surely you did n''t fall on your_ eye_?"
19763That seems rather cold, does n''t it?
19763That your saddle too?"
19763The boys gets kind of restless--""Boys?
19763The next time up coughs that crippled- up automobile with the mumps on its front tire, and she says,''Where, oh, where has he went?''
19763The road to our ranch?"
19763Then how is it that the authorities are after you again?"
19763Then they arrested him-- for what?
19763They do taste like somethin''you done and are sorry for afterwards, do n''t they?"
19763W''ich way did Disgustus Adolphus beat it to?''
19763Was Dick very badly hurt?"
19763Was it for_ this_ that he had wasted his soul?
19763We file, see?
19763We really did n''t expect you until to- morrow, but you''ll forgive us all, wo n''t you?
19763We''ll all ride--_ride_, you understand?
19763We''ve found the gold?
19763Well, if you flatly refuse to drink my health, I''ll have to drink it alone, and that''s rather egotistical, is n''t it?"
19763Well, we flopped near here that night--""Flopped?"
19763Were n''t you lying by a water- tank when our train stopped and a man was kneeling beside you pouring water on your face?
19763Were you going to meet Uncle Walter?"
19763Wha--?
19763What chance would I have with the whole desert town to swear against me?
19763What denomination did you say?"
19763What did Collie ever do for me to get shot up this way?"
19763What did he want with the letter?"
19763What do you intend doing, now that you are free?"
19763What do you intend?"
19763What do you mean?
19763What do you mean?"
19763What do you say, Brand?"
19763What do you say?"
19763What do you think I am?"
19763What for, anyway?"
19763What have I got to show?
19763What is it up there-- behind everything-- that never, never answers?"
19763What made you ask?"
19763What right have you to interfere with him?"
19763What shall I do?"
19763What size gloves do you wear, pet?"
19763What was it made the place seem so different from even the most expensive hotel suites?
19763What you doin''pinchin''us again?
19763What you laughin''at?"
19763What''ll I give her, Collie?"
19763What''s gettin''into you?
19763What''s the good of havin''''em if nobody knows it?
19763What''s the matter?"
19763What, Billy?
19763What, mining?"
19763What_ shall_ we call it?"
19763When?
19763Where could I have begun?"
19763Where did you get the posies?"
19763Where in the world did you unearth that word, Anne?"
19763Where was he hit?"
19763Where you been grazin''lately?"
19763Where''s the burro?"
19763Who did that?"
19763Who lost you out here?"
19763Who said she did smoke?"
19763Why did n''t you leave him where he was?"
19763Why did n''t you tell me sooner?"
19763Why do n''t you say something bright?"
19763Why do you say that?"
19763Why in hell do n''t you blush, or drop your little ole lace handkerchief, or fix your back hair, so I can remember I''m talkin''to a lady?
19763Why not continue with his pack and provisions?
19763Why should people make distinctions as to birth, or breeding, or wealth, when character and physical excellence meant so much more?
19763Why--"And his exclamation subsided as he asked cautiously,"Did you know him?"
19763Why?"
19763Will you accept a cigar?"
19763Winthrop, startled by the other''s intensity, stammered:"What shall I do?
19763Winthrop?"
19763Winthrop?"
19763Wonder what I''ll do with it?"
19763Wonder what she''ll think about me-- after hearin''what I said last night at the Old Meadow?
19763Would n''t the Rose Girl be surprised?
19763Would the eccentric Overland Red be there?
19763Would you quit him now, when they''re after him worst?"
19763You ai n''t goin''to tackle that bug- huntin''trip alone, be you?
19763You ai n''t tryin''to put the Injun sign on us, are you?"
19763You comin''?"
19763You got any idea of hobblin''my talk?"
19763You never done much fancy pick- handle exercise, did you?"
19763You never seen_ me_ cry in my soup, did you?"
19763You recollec''them papers and that dust Billy tried to find, out there by the track?"
19763You said Mr. Jack Summers, I believe?
19763You see the sheriff gent and Saunders--""Saunders?
19763You want to pack this here bottle, too?"
19763You was born in California, was n''t you?"
19763You were thinking of raising stock-- horses?"
19763You would give up the job and the chance of a smile from that little Rose- Lady Girl and flew the coop with me again if I said the word?"
19763You would n''t go back on a pal like that, would you?"
19763You_ got_ to, understand?
19763Your pardner down there?"
19763[ Illustration: CAN''T I HAVE ANOTHER ONE, ROSE GIRL?]
19763he asked again--"about the claim and your father and me?"
29656And did they tell you all this in those few words?
29656And what are you doing here?
29656And what are you doing here?
29656Any good rabbit- shooting around here, Bill?
29656Are we enough to clean them out, Bob?
29656Are you hurt?
29656Bob,demanded Bucks, breathless,"what does it mean?"
29656Bob,said he, looking back again toward the river,"what gang do you suppose this is?"
29656Bucks,he murmured insinuatingly, as he sat down to look into the book again,"I want to ask you now, once for all, whether this is a true story?"
29656But how will you get away?
29656But is n''t the train gone?
29656But what has happened?
29656But, Bill,persisted the lad,"if there is going to be any business done in this office we have got to have order, have n''t we?"
29656Ca n''t you see the train?
29656Can he talk English?
29656Can those men use an axe?
29656Can you trust this man?
29656Can you use it?
29656Dan Baggs never could dig that out-- how long would it take him?
29656Delaroo,demanded Dan Baggs, pointing dramatically at his taciturn fireman, who had now overtaken him,"how fast was I running?"
29656Did anybody ever see conceit equal to that?
29656Did n''t bring anything to eat, did you?
29656Did you bring anything?
29656Do you eat salt?
29656Do you know how many times,demanded the spiker,"those sledges have to swing?
29656Do you know that fellow, Bucks?
29656Do you know why you did n''t get killed?
29656Do you know,he continued without waiting for an answer,"who that polite man was, the last one you shouldered out of here?"
29656Do you understand, young fellow? 29656 Do you want to get killed?"
29656Down the creek?
29656Gave you a warm reception, did they, Bucks?
29656Getting hungry?
29656Go on, will you?
29656Going to need me, Colonel?
29656Gone?
29656Got it all figured out, have you?
29656Got pretty warm for you, Bucks-- eh? 29656 Had a line from the house to the barn, eh?"
29656Have they started a town down there on the bottoms?
29656Have you any idea you can catch them, Bob?
29656Have you ever seen a shooting mix- up in Medicine Bend?
29656Have you got a gun?
29656How about it, doctor?
29656How about rocks, Bill?
29656How are you, Bill?
29656How can you catch anybody in_ this_ country?
29656How did you get them?
29656How in the name of God, boy, have you escaped?
29656How long have you been a telegraph operator, Bucks?
29656How long have you been in this country?
29656How long is this sort of thing going on?
29656How old are you now?
29656How old are you, Bill?
29656How old are you, boy?
29656How was the walking last night?
29656How will they_ ever_ get it out?
29656I am, am I?
29656I hope you did n''t think so, Bob? 29656 If I did n''t, do you suppose I would waste an hour here waiting for it?"
29656Indians?
29656Indians?
29656Is my foot gone?
29656Is that your dog?
29656John,he asked without a smile,"do you ever walk in your sleep?"
29656Let me tell you something, then, will you?
29656Never got shot up just for fun?
29656No, what was it?
29656No; who is he?
29656Rabbit- shooting?
29656Reckon time close, do n''t you?
29656Safe?
29656Tell Stanley what I said, will you?
29656Tell him for me to come get me, will you?
29656The-- eh-- walking? 29656 There''s not an Indian within forty miles-- what''s the matter with you?"
29656Thought I heard something-- what''s that?
29656Trust him?
29656Up then, Bob?
29656Want to get strung up, do you, Perry? 29656 Was the brute arrested?"
29656Well, I did n''t go----"Quit before you went, did you?
29656Well, who are you?
29656Were_ you_ with him? 29656 What about the trains?"
29656What are the charges?
29656What are they doing?
29656What are they doing?
29656What are you doing around here interfering with my business?
29656What are you doing here?
29656What are you going to do now? 29656 What can it mean, his sending a message to me?
29656What can we do?
29656What do you keep a cur like that around for?
29656What do you mean by setting my train out here on the main track in the middle of the night?
29656What do you mean? 29656 What do you mean?"
29656What do you mean?
29656What do you mean?
29656What do you mean?
29656What do you want me for?
29656What do you want with me?
29656What do you want, anyhow, stranger?
29656What do you want? 29656 What have they done?"
29656What is Sellersville?
29656What is it, Bob?
29656What is that, Bob?
29656What is this?
29656What kind of Indians did you say those were,he asked, contracting his brows as he did when a subject perplexed him,"Uncas and Chingachgook?"
29656What place is that?
29656What reason?
29656What shall we do?
29656What should you do, Bob, if we met Sioux?
29656What show has a fat man got to get away from anybody?
29656What''s all this about, Levake?
29656What''s going on here?
29656What''s that to you?
29656What''s that?
29656What''s that?
29656What''s the matter?
29656What''s your law for this?
29656What''s your name?
29656What''s your title to this land, Rebstock? 29656 What?
29656Where are the Indians?
29656Where are the section men?
29656Where are we, Bill?
29656Where are we, Bucks?
29656Where are we? 29656 Where did he come from?"
29656Where did you get this?
29656Where did you go to school?
29656Where did you learn to read?
29656Where did you learn to shoot?
29656Where did you learn to telegraph at twelve?
29656Where is the brakeman?
29656Where is the engine?
29656Where''s Stanley?
29656Where?
29656Who are you, and what do you mean giving orders like that?
29656Who are you, tar heels?
29656Who are you?
29656Who are you?
29656Who is running this camp?
29656Who said you could go?
29656Who were the beasts, Bob, that could treat men like that?
29656Why did n''t you speak up, Bill?
29656Why did n''t you think of that sooner?
29656Why so?
29656Why?
29656Will anybody,Bill asked dryly,"play the hand with me while Brush is arresting Levake?"
29656Will you remember the spikes?
29656You are the night operator? 29656 You have that kind of white men, do n''t you?
29656You know what he said is so, do n''t you?
29656You want to hang around a gambling- table, do you? 29656 You will talk to me, will you?"
29656You''ve got your money, have n''t you?
29656Bucks, do you know what was most likely to happen to you any minute before you got through with that crowd, just now?"
29656Ca n''t a man eat his breakfast in this place?
29656Can you read that, young man?"
29656Can you ride a horse?"
29656Can you see or hear them?"
29656Could he hold the station for twelve minutes?
29656Did they reckon a handful of blacklegs would get me?"
29656Did you hear the shooting after I left you?"
29656Do you get me?"
29656Do you remember the woman you helped out with a ticket to Iowa?
29656Does a boy fight me?"
29656Get it out for me right away, will you?"
29656Go right along, will you?"
29656Hawk, blunt and stern in word and manner, followed the evasion up sharply:"Do n''t you know this is no place for you?"
29656How close are they?"
29656How could I hold my job if I did n''t get them?"
29656How did you get off?"
29656How did you get through?"
29656How good a swimmer are you, Bucks?
29656How much boot did you get?"
29656How old are you?"
29656How should I know he was Seagrue''s partner, or who Rebstock is?
29656If I stop at any time, you ride straight on-- do you understand?
29656In the next instant he was caught in Dancing''s arms:"Gosh darn it, why did n''t you jump, as I told you?"
29656Is n''t that it, Rebstock?"
29656Is this story about Uncas a true story?"
29656Know anything about Delaware Indians?"
29656Shall I let him in?"
29656Should he fire his gun as a signal?
29656Stanley listened carefully to all that was said:"Who sent you?"
29656Tell your men,"he continued, expanding his chest,"to leave their axes with me when they come to Sellersville-- what?"
29656The operator looked at him:"Do you want the package to- night?"
29656Then, as Rebstock, quite crestfallen, seated himself, he added:"Had n''t I better order a hot cup of coffee for you?"
29656They must have loaded the engine on their ponies during the night-- did you hear anything?"
29656Was it an earthquake?
29656We get along with the Sioux all right, too, do n''t we, Bucks?"
29656We have n''t the men, and we ca n''t get them-- and we must all, men and boys, pull together and just do the best we can-- do you understand?"
29656What are they doing?
29656What are they doing?"
29656What are you going to do?"
29656What are you hesitating about?
29656What can we do?"
29656What did he say?"
29656What else but your ruin would this mean?"
29656What have we got here, anyway?"
29656What have we stopped for?
29656What in Sam Hill is that?"
29656What is all this noise about, anyway?
29656What''s a- matter?
29656What''s all this noise?"
29656What''s that smokestack?
29656What''s the matter with you?"
29656Where are they?"
29656Where are you from, and how did you happen to come away out here on the plains?"
29656Where are you going?"
29656Where are your blamed batteries?"
29656Where is your license from the United States Government to sell whiskey here?
29656Where''s the engine?"
29656Who arrests anybody in this town?"
29656Who do you think was with Perry, Bob?"
29656Why do you stand here and bellow about being insulted?
29656Why?"
29656Will wait here for the train-- where is it?"
29656You are sure they did n''t have a led horse?"
29656You do n''t?"
29656You want to see how much smarter you can play the game than these sheep- heads you are watching?
29656You want to watch how it is done and try it yourself sometime?
29656You''ve been talking loud so you could get a crowd together and advertise yourself by shooting an unarmed boy, have n''t you?"
29656You''ve got a revolver?"
29656what can I do?"
34940''Any political news from below, Bill?'' 34940 ''Have you had a cruise in the yacht?''
34940''How sick?'' 34940 ''Not to that big chap over from Ten Mile Mills?''
34940''What are you going to do about it?'' 34940 ''Why, wot''s up, old fellow?''
34940A star? 34940 And what is this part of the country called?

34940[ 30][ Illustration: THE FIRST HOTEL AT SAN FRANCISCO Copyright, Century Co.]Have you a letter of introduction?"
34940''Do you often have such lively times in Virginia City?''
34940''How''s your arm, Jack?''
34940''Were you not,''he asked eagerly,''Senior Wrangler in''43?''
34940''What in the name of common sense has that got to do with you?''
34940''What you mean by pigeon milk, homepatty soup, and de brick?
34940''Where did you hear about that battle?''
34940''Why, my dear fellow,''he said,''do n''t you see?
34940''Ye did n''t expect her to marry a nobleman, did ye?''
34940After a careful survey of the magistrate and a pinch of the flesh to make sure that he was not dreaming, he exclaimed:--"Ned McGowan, is that you?"
34940After a pause he said with a half- pitying, half- humorous smile:--"''Pike-- aren''t you?''
34940Are you and she any blood relation that you know of?''
34940But did it fail?
34940But the Reader may ask, why were the laws not enforced?
34940But was he not rather consciously depicting the bad points of what would seem to have been his favorite character?

34940Harte, are n''t you afraid to go about in the cars so recklessly when there is this scare about small- pox?''
34940Has it any particular name?"
34940How came it that this orthodox Jew, this pillar of the synagogue, married a Christian woman?
34940How did this come about?
34940How far is that place-- anyway?

34940Or was it possible that it was only a weakness of the sex which no Republican nativity or education could eliminate?"
34940She sat quietly down again, folded her hands in her lap, and said calmly,--"''And why should you not?''

34940The following dialogue is an authentic illustration:--"Mr. Small, do not you believe in the overruling Providence of God?"

34940The thing is so simple that it seems easy, and yet where shall we find its counterpart?
34940Then, after a pause of reflection, he looked up and said:"Will your Honor_ lend_ me fifty dollars so that I can pay this last fine?"
34940This, unfortunately, being repeated to Bret Harte, he exclaimed,"Now, why ca n''t a woman realize that this sort of thing is insulting?...

25835A savage, is n''t she? 25835 A_ what?_""A nervous breakdown."
25835Again?
25835Ai n''t she queer, Mr. Gael? 25835 And that was?"
25835And when you-- went back?
25835And you believe that she is willing to see you, Pierre Landis?
25835And you still love her very much?
25835And you think I''m beautiful?
25835And you''re not going to read or study any more?
25835And you''ve come straight from there to New York?
25835Are you and your wife the rich New Yorkers he says are takin''me up?
25835Are you so sure of that, Jane?
25835Are you sorry?
25835Are you tellin''me good- bye, Prosper?
25835Are you the doctor?
25835Basil? 25835 But not as the author?"
25835But you have some idea what they are?
25835But you''ll let me see you again? 25835 But, Mr. Gael, sweepin'', washin'', cookin'',--ain''t all that a woman''s work?"
25835But-- but what is a woman''s work?
25835Ca n''t you go back?
25835Can Miss West see any one? 25835 Can you do it?"
25835Can you tell me about it all?
25835Chance for what?
25835Chance?
25835Did Mr. Yarnall tell you that?
25835Did you ever stop to think,he said with his charming smile,"that the other fellow is thinking and saying just the same thing?
25835Did you know what that volume said? 25835 Did you see what happened?"
25835Did you talk with him? 25835 Did_ you_ ever love me, Joan?"
25835Do it to please me, even if you think it makes you look queer, will you, Joan?
25835Do n''t you like Jane? 25835 Do n''t you savvy the answer to that question, Joan?"
25835Do you feel better, dear?
25835Do you imagine for one instant, Kane,--does Betty imagine for one instant,--that I shall not contest?
25835Do you think you will be able to go back next week?
25835Does that sound crazy to you?
25835For the one I said must have been like a tall child? 25835 Gee, she''s awkward, ai n''t she?"
25835Go back thirty miles through wet snow when you ca n''t walk across the room, Joan?
25835Good- bye,said he,"unless-- you''ll be comin''with me after all?"
25835Have n''t you loved her? 25835 Have they stopped dancing, Jasper?"
25835Have you ever noticed Jane, who cooks for the outfit, Betty?
25835Hev you married her?
25835How could I help it, Joan?
25835How old are you, Joan Landis?
25835How would it do for me to leave it with Melton, the business manager? 25835 How''s that?"
25835I amuse you, do n''t I? 25835 I asked Pierre,"she said slowly, after a silence, in her low- pitched voice,"when he was taking me away home, I asked,''Where are you going?''
25835I have a great deal of courage,he said, getting into his coat,"to bring a wild- cat here, chain her up, and tease her-- eh?"
25835I have made you happy here in this little house, have n''t I, Joan?
25835I may have Betty''s letter?
25835I never seen roses,she said, and added,"What''s basil?"
25835Is he here, do you know?
25835Is that all? 25835 Is that what he is?
25835Is this money, Wen Ho?
25835Jane,--Morena spoke brokenly,--"what does it mean?"
25835Jealous of my mail? 25835 Joan, Joan,"he said gently;"was ever anything so strange?
25835Joan, will you do me a favor?
25835Joan-- when?--where?
25835Knew her in the old days-- eh?
25835Lady, you mean give me all this money?
25835Left?
25835Made for the part?
25835May I smoke?
25835Miss Jane, wo n''t you sit down?
25835Miss West, may I see you home?
25835Nor behave prettily to polite young men?
25835Nor dance?
25835Not the way the writer describes them?
25835Now whose gel are you, Joan Carver?
25835Oh, Mr. Gael, were you really thinking that I could wear these? 25835 Oh, ca n''t you?--to do some kindness to him?
25835Oh, he will?
25835Oh, that''s what I am, eh? 25835 Oh,"she cried,"what does it matter?
25835Perhaps you understand the situation better now?
25835Perhaps,drawled Jane,"he was just a feller who asked too many questions?"
25835Pierre,she cried pitifully,"what are you a- goin''to do to me?"
25835Pierre? 25835 Pierre?
25835Prosper Gael wants to marry you? 25835 Say, are n''t you from the West?"
25835Say, now,said Joan,"what''s that the name for?"
25835Shall we sit down? 25835 She come after all?"
25835She is sick?
25835She thinks, Betty thinks, that I have been-- that we have been--? 25835 Sin- buster?"
25835So you been happy readin''while I been away?
25835Some friend?
25835Success? 25835 Tell her what, man?
25835That was Pierre?
25835The Chinaman? 25835 The Wandering Jew?
25835Then he''s been a success out there?
25835Then it will be over for always, wo n''t it? 25835 Then, put on these things for dinner instead of your own clothes, will you?"
25835There''s books about everything, ai n''t there?--isn''t there,--Mr. Gael? 25835 To see me?
25835To- night,he said,"we''ll show you a leopardess worth looking at, wo n''t we, Betty?
25835Too soon fer you, eh?
25835Try to forget all about it, will you?
25835Under the mountains?
25835Was he in the habit of tying you up or was this-- branding-- a special diversion?
25835Well, Betty?
25835Well, why do n''t you take her back with you to that life? 25835 Were you in the theater to- night?"
25835Were you-- that man?
25835What are you drivin''at?
25835What are you going to do with it, Mr. Morena? 25835 What brought you back so soon?"
25835What can I do? 25835 What can you do for him?
25835What devil''s work have you been at?
25835What did the men ask? 25835 What do you do when Landis is away?"
25835What do you get out of this, Jasper? 25835 What do you like-- stories, poetry, magazines?"
25835What do you mean? 25835 What do you think of her, Joan?"
25835What else is there for me to do?
25835What has that got to do with it?
25835What hev I to do with you?
25835What is it now, Mr. Morena? 25835 What is it, Jane?
25835What is it, then, Jane?
25835What is it?
25835What part,she asked in a quick, low voice,"is this that you think I could learn to do?"
25835What the devil are you after, Jasper?
25835What''s the matter with you?
25835What''s the trouble? 25835 What''s yer name, gel?"
25835What''s yer name?
25835Where are we a- goin''?
25835Where are you going, Joan?
25835Where was that?
25835Where were you schooled?
25835Who are you, you strange creature? 25835 Who is the girl?"
25835Who screamed for help?
25835Why did you come, Jane?
25835Why did you leave me?
25835Why must she blame me? 25835 Why not?"
25835Why was that, Prosper?
25835Why, Joan, what''s the matter? 25835 Will you be comin''home with me, gel?"
25835Will you come home with me now?
25835Will you dance?
25835Will you go, Prosper?
25835Will you say anything more to me and to my man?
25835Will you smoke?
25835Will your father be takin''you back?
25835Wo n''t you please go?
25835Woman''s work?
25835Would it help?
25835Would n''t you like to live in a city, Jane?
25835Would you have gone back to him, Joan Landis, after he had tied you up and branded your shoulder with his cattlebrand?
25835Would you mind telling me that again?
25835Would you?
25835Yes?
25835You ai n''t so awful young, are you?
25835You and your wife are leaving soon?
25835You are not going to make it easy for me, are you, Joan?
25835You built that house for her? 25835 You did n''t?
25835You do n''t smoke, yourself?
25835You goin''to read?
25835You know my name?
25835You mean Morena''s making it up-- about her not being willing to see me?
25835You no wait for Mr. Gael come back? 25835 You run away from home?"
25835You saw how it was?
25835You think you have me chained?
25835You velly tired?
25835You wanted to leave me, Joan? 25835 You was-- you were-- jobbin''me, was n''t you?"
25835You were going like this, without a word to me?
25835You were n''t ever a cowboy, were you?
25835You''re angry?
25835You''re awake, Joan?
25835You''re from the West yourself?
25835You''re the new sin- buster, ai n''t you?
25835You''ve been waiting for her?
25835You''ve decided not to break away altogether, then?
25835You''ve grown as thin as a reed, child; I can see every bone, and your eyes-- don''t you ever shut them any more?
25835Your father sent you down here fer a job?
25835Your wife?
25835All at once the question came to her: for whom had the delicate fabrics been bought, for whom had this suit been made?
25835An''you mean folks really get that way?"
25835And here?"
25835And now where was she?
25835And what could prevent her from going?
25835And what-- what does it stand for, marrying or not--?"
25835And why was she here alone with him?
25835And you knew Miss West before she came East, then?"
25835Are you sure this time?"
25835Because of the extraordinary carrying quality of her voice-- the question was heard by every one there present:"_ You_ wrote the play?
25835But do n''t make one of me, will you?"
25835But you would n''t want her to stay if-- if she does n''t love you?"
25835But, Joan, what will dad do to you?
25835Ca n''t she go away from you?
25835Can an old friend"--for so Pierre had named himself--"be allowed to see her?
25835Can you do it?"
25835Can you ever stop a- thinkin''of him lyin''there?"
25835Can you remember that?
25835Can you reproach me so very bitterly for our-- happiness, even if it was short?"
25835Can you step out with me?"
25835Come, now, Woodward, there''s something more in it than this?"
25835Dangerously ill.""Could I speak to the doctor?"
25835Did you destroy my letter?"
25835Did you honestly think that you would be coming back-- as-- as my lover?
25835Did you know that?"
25835Did you read it?"
25835Did you tell him--?"
25835Did you think that?
25835Did you treat her well, Landis?"
25835Do n''t you know that?"
25835Do n''t you like music?"
25835Do n''t you say I''m one of those nervous breakdowns again, though, will you?"
25835Do n''t you understand?"
25835Do you call that ownin''your own body?
25835Do you hear?
25835Do you know what one of the men said about her?"
25835Do you like bright colors, Joan?"
25835Do you still maintain your intention of asking for an interview with Miss Jane West?"
25835Do you think I ca n''t see?"
25835Do you want me to go?"
25835Do you want to use them?"
25835Does he look so strange to you?"
25835Eh?
25835For what else,"he smiled,"did Eve eat the apple?
25835Gael?"
25835Gael?"
25835Gael?"
25835Gael?"
25835Gael?"
25835Gael?"
25835Had they gone toward the river first and then turned north or had they traveled close to the base of the giant range?
25835Have I your promise?"
25835Have n''t you any curiosity about me?"
25835Have you arranged for me to meet Jane West?"
25835Have you books?"
25835Have you ever seen a play?"
25835Have you hurt her?"
25835Have you seen a ghost?"
25835Have you seen this play?"
25835He has told you so?"
25835He looked about the pretty room and repeated,"Like this?"
25835He put his hand on my arm an''said,''Will you be comin''home with me, Joan Carver?''
25835He took care of me--""Prosper?"
25835He was a Jew, too, was n''t he?"
25835He''ll go away?"
25835How came he to write''The Leopardess''?"
25835How can I?
25835How could she keep herself alive?
25835I know you are not my parishioners, though, no doubt, you should be, but I''m going to lay claim to your hospitality, for all that, if I may?"
25835I will never come back to you.... Is it revenge?"
25835I wo n''t have to stop?"
25835I''m not angry; why should I be?
25835If he had lived, Joan, could you have forgiven him?"
25835If you could tell me--?"
25835If you walked into a drawing- room by the side of that marvelous being, do you think you''d win a look, my dear girl?
25835Is he with Mrs. Morena now?"
25835Is it necessary to use such language?
25835Is n''t she wonderful?"
25835Is n''t this beautiful, this life of ours?"
25835Is that Morena?"
25835Is the car there?
25835Is the excitement too much for you?"
25835Is there such a thing as honesty?
25835It was as though she had said,"You do n''t fancy that she cares for you?"
25835Killed?"
25835Luck?"
25835May I be stupidly personal and tell you that you are very beautiful?"
25835Morena?
25835Morena?"
25835Morena?"
25835Morena?"
25835My name?
25835Necessity?
25835Odd, is n''t it?"
25835Of course, it''s none of my business, but in a way I am Miss West''s guardian--""Miss West?"
25835Only, do n''t you ever think of me?"
25835Or was the change in her so enormous that it had disassociated her completely from her old life, from him?
25835Ought this man to be given his chance?
25835Pierre?"
25835Poverty?
25835Prosper, will you join Betty and me at supper?"
25835Prosper, you are my lover for always, are n''t you?
25835Says I,''What''s yer name?''
25835See those stairs?
25835Shakespeare wrote quite a lot of that kind of talking pieces, did n''t he?"
25835She had spoken of a quarrel between him and Pierre?
25835She thinks that of me?
25835She was dead?"
25835She was n''t your wife?
25835She would go unless-- had he really failed so utterly to touch her heart?
25835She''s such an elegant actress, ai n''t she?
25835Some minutes later he said doubtfully,"Then you''ll carry through your purpose of not letting Pierre know you?"
25835Tell me, did I ever in those days hurt you or give you a moment''s anxiety or fear?"
25835Tell whom?"
25835That helps you a whole lot, does n''t it?"
25835That''s the way to talk, is n''t it?"
25835Then, will you try to forget him, to live your life for its own beautiful sake?
25835There has been a name used?"
25835There was no place for her to go to, but what did that matter so long as she might escape from this horrible place and this infernal tormentor?
25835Too much New York?"
25835Trying to bring you fellows to God?"
25835Was he changed so greatly?
25835Was it wrong to warn Jane?
25835Was she without passion, this woman with the deep, savage eyes, the lips, so sensuous and pure, the body so magnificently made for living?
25835Was the big, rosy chap her lover?
25835Wen Ho, he fix bed, fix breakfast-- oh, the lady?
25835What can he do for you?
25835What could he do to help them, he that had broken their lives?
25835What could she do?
25835What could you do?"
25835What counsel was theirs for Joan and what had her human mentor taught her?
25835What did it matter, after all, what there was in her past?
25835What did you tell them?"
25835What do you see?"
25835What do you think of it?"
25835What had they been doing to her to change her so?
25835What hev I to do with you?"
25835What is it?
25835What part had she in the life of this companion, this keeper of her own life?
25835What was back of it all?
25835What was keeping him so long?
25835What, in God''s name, had induced her to do it?
25835Whatever it was that took you away, it was likely to keep you from me for always, was n''t it?"
25835When you left me, you left me alive and ready for what sort of living?
25835Where are you stopping?
25835Where can I go?"
25835Where could she turn?
25835Where did you ever hear of basil?"
25835Where did you ever hear of him?"
25835Who was the man you threw out to- night?"
25835Who, in God''s name, was he?
25835Why did n''t he come?
25835Why did n''t you answer my letters?
25835Why did n''t you let me know?
25835Why did n''t you take my money?
25835Why do I have to be brought into this, Mr. Morena?
25835Why do I make you so angry?
25835Why do the lawyers have to take it up?
25835Why had Prosper sent her this message, made this appointment by his servant?
25835Why had she been so frightened?
25835Why have n''t I seen you?"
25835Why was she still here?
25835Why, in the name of savagery, should you hate him?"
25835Will you be a good girl now?"
25835Will you be steppin''in?
25835Will you be thinking of me a little?
25835Will you get ready now?"
25835Will you go round or wait?"
25835Will you just ask if she will see a friend of yours-- alone?"
25835Will you tell me, please?"
25835Will you, Luck?"
25835Will you-- if I lend you some books?"
25835Wo n''t you dine with me to- night?"
25835Yarnall?"
25835You can understand that?"
25835You do want to learn a woman''s work, do n''t you, Joan?"
25835You look wonderfully fit, does n''t he, Betty?
25835You might put on pretty things for dinner, do n''t you think?
25835You never guessed?"
25835You rather run things here, I gather; got the boys''plumb- scared''?"
25835You remember Luck''s heroine?"
25835You think it is an assumed one?"
25835You understand?"
25835You wanted to leave me, as much as that?"
25835You will wear pretty things, if I give them to you, wo n''t you?"
25835You''ll give me the people''s name, their address?..."
25835You''re an actress, are n''t you?
25835You''re going?
25835You''re not feeling any too fit yourself, are you?
25835Your nervous system could stand that?"
25835_ You_ wrote the play?"
25835and he said to me,''Do n''t you savvy the answer to that question, Joan?''
25835she answered;"you doubt it because I once thought I loved him?
25835she asked;"I mean, why did he say it that way?
25835she said;"is n''t she awfully winning?
22328A trapper, maybe?
22328About this rustler-- would you know him again?
22328Ai n''t you goin''to help us string up the Mexican?
22328Ai n''t you got no education? 22328 All alone, eh?"
22328Am I needin''help?
22328An''did n''t I have to turn down his offer an''hang on to a dollar- a- day job?
22328An''if they jump us up, how''re they goin''to know how much we''ve seen? 22328 An''where do we get off?"
22328And Ellison wants him, does he?
22328And if we''re attacked?
22328And if you did-- what of it? 22328 And mebbe a posse wo n''t find him-- what then?"
22328And the other?
22328And what have you been doing to yourself?
22328And you have n''t heard from him since?
22328And you never satisfied your curiosity about who the rustler was?
22328And you went?
22328Any objections?
22328Anybody else run cattle there except old man Wadley?
22328Are they headed this way?
22328Are you alone?
22328Are you givin''me an assignment, Captain?
22328Are you hurt?
22328Are you sure you''re taking in enough territory?
22328Are you?
22328Are-- are you hurt?
22328Art, will you keep cases on Overstreet an''see whether he leaves town right away?
22328As a favor to you, because of what you''re doin''for me?
22328As a tenderfoot- wrangler?
22328Asleep, girl?
22328Been across the valley to the herd yet?
22328But what am I to do? 22328 But what can you do?
22328But-- what shall I do?
22328By dog, did Clint send you money for savin''''Mona?
22328Ca n''t we wait until some one comes?
22328Can I hire you to ride with me to Tascosa?
22328Can you do that without being noticed?
22328Can you shoot?
22328Can you stop them?
22328Cap''n Ellison there, sah?
22328Could n''t you wait a little? 22328 Did I ever tell you, Miss Ramona, about the time Texas an''me went to Denver?
22328Did any of them come?
22328Did he get away?
22328Did he?
22328Did n''t I?
22328Did n''t he send you to the Dinsmores after me?
22328Did they? 22328 Did they_ say_ they wanted to see me?"
22328Did you ever see anything like the way he got shet o''that drummer?
22328Did you figure I was yellow like Steve, Clint? 22328 Did you fix it all up with Dad?"
22328Did you?
22328Do n''t I?
22328Do n''t you know a flag of truce when you see it, Dinsmore?
22328Do n''t you, Dad?
22328Do n''t you- all see I''m talkin''business?
22328Do they?
22328Do you call yoreself a woman-- a little bit of a trick like you? 22328 Do you like my voice?"
22328Do you mean that you''ll give me up unless I let Dinsmore escape before we reach town?
22328Do you spell_ scoundrel_ with a_ k_?
22328Do you want me to arrest Gurley?
22328Do? 22328 Do?
22328Earnin''that dollar a day, are you?
22328Enforcin''that rule, are they?
22328Evidence?
22328For the A T O?
22328Friend, are you Clint Wadley''s messenger?
22328Friends of mine?
22328Goddlemighty, man, why did you come here?
22328Goddlemighty, what''s eatin''you?
22328Goin''to take that job Clint offered you?
22328Had n''t I better come too?
22328Have I?
22328Have you got one handy?
22328Have you spoken to Captain Ellison yet?
22328He told me--"That boy''s still worryin''about losin''that money for Mr. Wadley, do n''t you reckon? 22328 How bad is it with you, Art?"
22328How did you escape?
22328How did you know we were here?
22328How do you know it''s Dinsmore? 22328 How do you know?"
22328How do you like Art Ridley?
22328How far do you think we are now from the ranch?
22328How far do you''low to go? 22328 How in Mexico can we move faster when Dave ca n''t stand it?"
22328How many boys you want with you?
22328How many?
22328How much of this money do you think is comin''to you, Ford?
22328How much?
22328How will I know whether you get through the sentries?
22328How''d you like to have yore wages lowered?
22328How?
22328How?
22328How?
22328Howcome that?
22328I could n''t very well have you keep shoutin''out,''I''m a girl,''so I figured--?
22328I was n''t singing it for you the other time, but for Mr.--what''s- his- name, Gurley?
22328I''m askin'', do you?
22328If I call you will you come?
22328If it''s a matter of brains, why do Indians make the best trailers? 22328 If one of us goes, how can he get away?"
22328Indigestion?
22328Is Jumbo a specialist in gossip?
22328Is he? 22328 Is n''t there a chance that the Dinsmores will follow us and find out we''re alone?"
22328Is n''t there any one else in this condemned burg can pull teeth?
22328Is that a- plenty?
22328Is that what you came to tell me, Dinsmore?
22328Is there goin''to be a hangin''?
22328Kinda lonesome out there, ai n''t it?
22328Kinda sudden, ai n''t it, Tex?
22328Like him? 22328 Looks kinda like Nature made the desert an''grinned at life, much as to say,''I defy you to live there,''do n''t it?
22328Lost him, have you?
22328Makin''yore will, are you?
22328Many of''em?
22328May I walk with you, Miss Ramona?
22328Meanin''?
22328Meanin''just what, Ford?
22328Meanin''that he''s here?
22328Much of a posse with you?
22328Need any help, do you reckon?
22328Nor grandstandin''with any more_ ladino_ steers?
22328ONLY ONE MOB, AIN''T THERE?
22328Oh, ai n''t it?
22328Or woman?
22328Playin''up to Clint, are you, Homer?
22328Put a coupla sticks between the roots of his fingers an''press--"Think we''re a bunch of''Paches, Steve?
22328Say, Tex, honest Injun, would you''a''fired off that dynamite if it had come to a showdown?
22328Seen Cap Ellison this mo''nin''? 22328 Shall I wake him?
22328Since when?
22328So? 22328 So?"
22328Sure it''s necessary? 22328 That kid in buckskin?"
22328That so? 22328 That so?
22328That so? 22328 That you, Homer?"
22328The point is, why should we be held responsible? 22328 Then I go along, do I?"
22328Then you''ll let''em hang him?
22328Then, will you ask him to come too? 22328 There''s goin''to be only one mob, too, ai n''t there?"
22328They''re out again, are they-- the devils?
22328Think I could get away?
22328Think we''re plumb idjits? 22328 Thirty?"
22328Three of us did this job, did n''t we?
22328Tony saw all this, did he?
22328Wadley fire you?
22328Want to turn him loose, do you?
22328Was he after me or you?
22328Was it to save yourself you flung yourself down in front of father and let that awful man Dinsmore shoot at you?
22328Was it you shot Wadley?
22328Was n''t it you told me once about bumpin''into a rustler doin''business whilst you was ridin''the line?
22328We''d better leave at once, do n''t you think?
22328We''re gaining?
22328Well, did you find out who he was?
22328Well, did you take him back to the ranch for a necktie party, or did you bury him in the gulch?
22328Well, wha''s the matter with you scoutin''up Box Cañon an''seein''what you find?
22328Well, why do n''t you?
22328Well, you old son of a mule- skinner, what''s the matter with that? 22328 Wha- what do you want?"
22328What about it?
22328What about this Mexican? 22328 What about you?"
22328What are they like?
22328What are you aimin''to do with him, Jack?
22328What are you goin''to say-- that you murdered him, shot him down from behind?
22328What business?
22328What can one man do against thirty? 22328 What did I tell you?"
22328What did you expect him to tell you? 22328 What do you mean by drivin''these wild critters through town?
22328What do you say to twenty dollars for the trip?
22328What do you take me for, Pete? 22328 What do you want?"
22328What does a woman always want?
22328What does he know? 22328 What does that buy us?"
22328What fix am I in?
22328What for?
22328What for?
22328What ground do you cover?
22328What if they rush me?
22328What in blue blazes--?
22328What in hell do you mean to do, then?
22328What is it that I am to do?
22328What is it you want Tony for?
22328What kind of a man would I be for you to marry if I threw down on what was right just because you asked me to an''I wanted to do it?
22328What makes you so gaunted, Jack? 22328 What makes you think this fellow has friends near, Homer?"
22328What was Clint payin''you?
22328What was it all about?
22328What was it he told you, and what did you find?
22328What was the use of comin''to me at all, then? 22328 What were you doin''so far from town?"
22328What would I be doing here without a horse if I had friends?
22328What would I do with him if you got him?
22328What would_ you_ do?
22328What you do that for?
22328What''s Ellison''s proposition?
22328What''s ailin''you? 22328 What''s ailin''you?"
22328What''s it to you? 22328 What''s that?"
22328What''s the kid going to Tascosa for?
22328What''s the matter with Wadley? 22328 What''s the matter, kid?
22328What''s the programme?
22328What''s the rumpus?
22328What''s yore idea, then, Homer? 22328 What''s_ she_ doin''here?"
22328Whatta you doin''here?
22328When can we start for home?
22328When?
22328Where am I most likely to find Wadley?
22328Where are the Rangers I sent for?
22328Where are these anxious citizens, Jumbo?
22328Where are they?
22328Where can I find Nelson?
22328Where did you dream that stuff, Wadley?
22328Where did you get the notion I was yellow, old- timer? 22328 Where do you get that notion you''re a roughneck, Tex?"
22328Where from?
22328Where in the world have you been?
22328Where is Ellison?
22328Where''s Captain Ellison waiting?
22328Where''s the man who gave you this?
22328Where''s yore hawss?
22328Which?
22328Who elected you boss of this outfit, Steve? 22328 Who invited you here?"
22328Who said anything about bein''a friend? 22328 Who said so?
22328Who told you that, honey?
22328Who were they?
22328Who you ridin''for, young fellow?
22328Who''s likely to come? 22328 Who''s the damsel?"
22328Whose orders?
22328Why did he send for me, then, if he meant to light out? 22328 Why do n''t you ever come to see a fellow any more?"
22328Why do n''t you tell the truth? 22328 Why do you come and-- and follow me?"
22328Why is it that there''s more warfare on the desert than there is back East? 22328 Why should I go?
22328Why should I?
22328Why-- what do you mean?
22328Why-- why ca n''t we both go?
22328Why? 22328 Why?
22328Why?
22328Why?
22328Whyfor do you ask me about it?
22328Whyfor does he want me?
22328Whyn''t you tell me all that?
22328Will he?
22328Will she let you talk?
22328Will they fight?
22328Will you answer me one question? 22328 Will you go an''get him one?"
22328Will you go too?
22328Will you tell him, Uncle Jim, that I want to see him?
22328Will-- will he live?
22328Worried? 22328 Would a calf milk its mother?
22328Would the Dinsmores shoot us if they found us?
22328Would you-- if it was up to you?
22328Would you?
22328Yes, but-- just what would you do about it?
22328Yes?
22328You ca n''t handle a mob all by yoreself, can you?
22328You did n''t come alone?
22328You got a warrant for me?
22328You mean an accident?
22328You mean that he_ did n''t_ say he wanted to leave Dinsmore?
22328You mean you went in there on a pure bluff, knowing how they hated you and what a big chance there was that they would murder you?
22328You remember that day when Arthur Ridley brought me home?
22328You saw him ridin''through? 22328 You think the Dinsmores did this, Jack?"
22328You think we''ve got him?
22328You travel a good deal, do n''t you-- about the country?
22328You''re Clint Wadley''s daughter, then?
22328You''re not figurin''on takin''my horse, are you?
22328You''re not goin''to throw me over because I''ve got to do what I think right,''Mona?
22328You''re not going to let him... mistreat me, are you?
22328Young fellow, have you ever thought that Ridley never was held up, that it was a fake robbery pulled off to deceive me? 22328 A likely young fellow--"Where''s yore six- shooter?
22328Ai n''t you got a lick o''sense a- tall?
22328Ai n''t you got better sense than to trail rustlers with no weapon but a Sunday- School text?
22328Aimin''to shoot up the town, are you?"
22328Anything more?"
22328Appetite kind o''gone?"
22328Are they going to hang him?"
22328Are you going to let them do it?"
22328Bearded?
22328Been scarin''any more young ladies to death?"
22328Better take Moser, had n''t you?"
22328But do n''t you see I ca n''t?
22328But how many of''em will you lose on the way?
22328But what''s a fellow to do?
22328But who is the young fellow I had the mixup with?"
22328But why not take yore time?
22328CHAPTER XIII"ONLY ONE MOB, AIN''T THERE?"
22328Ca n''t throw him down, can I?"
22328Can you loan me some till Pedro gits around?
22328Can you shoot?"
22328Close call for both of us, eh?
22328Could this wan and ragged man with the unkempt beard be Art Ridley, always so careful of his clothes and his personal appearance?
22328Dark?
22328Did he mean to give up his prisoner without a fight?
22328Did he see their horses?
22328Did n''t Clint Wadley offer you the job of bossin''the best cow- ranch in the Panhandle?"
22328Did n''t he save Clint Wadley''s life?
22328Did n''t he stay by Dinsmore when the Kiowas had''em holed?
22328Did n''t you arrest him yoreself for it?"
22328Did n''t you see from the first we were n''t in any danger?
22328Did they use any names?
22328Did you grow up like Topsy, without any folks?
22328Do n''t you get it?
22328Do n''t you know better than to mix up in men''s affairs an''git yoreself talked about?"
22328Do n''t you see that we''ve_ got_ to help Mr. Dinsmore because he did so much for me?"
22328Do n''t you?"
22328Do you reckon I''d ought to let him hang?"
22328Do you reckon I''m goin''to run like a cur now you''ve struck a streak o''bad luck?"
22328Does he expect you to let Ford run it over you?
22328Does that look reasonable, Clint?"
22328Even if he''s seen those cattle he ca n''t prove we burned the brands, can he?"
22328Fine for a full- grown man, ai n''t it?
22328Got the stuff all safe?"
22328Got to see another man, have you?"
22328Grandstander?"
22328Had Roberts brought out the Mexican with the intention of making a merely formal resistance?
22328Had that shot been fired by an Apache or by those whom he had come to aid?
22328Have n''t you any guts in you a- tall?"
22328Have n''t you been brought up a- tall?
22328Have they sent for the doctor?"
22328Have_ you_?"
22328He fought good enough to get shot up this mo''nin'', did n''t he?
22328He''s a Mexican, ai n''t he?
22328He''s not coming-- to make trouble, is he?"
22328Hear me, honey?"
22328Hear me, young fellow?"
22328Hear me?
22328How are we going to get him across the river?"
22328How could he help it?
22328How did you get here,''Mona?"
22328How in Mexico come he to send a boy to market for such a big stake?"
22328How long have you been riding for Wadley?"
22328How much was in that belt?"
22328How sorry will they look when you deliver the herd?
22328How they comin''?"
22328How''s Clint?"
22328How''s Dinsmore?"
22328How''s that?"
22328I cayn''t drop those off- brands by the way, can I?
22328I''m tellin''you-- see?
22328If Tony shot him on the bluff an''flung the body over, why did he have to go down below an''look at it?
22328Is it likely this Ridley, who do n''t know sic''''em, got so far away from the beaten trails alone?
22328Is it true they''re goin''to lynch him?"
22328Is that fair?"
22328Is that it?"
22328Is that it?"
22328Is this Mexico or God''s country?
22328Jack, do you... still like me?"
22328Jack, we''re lucky that a man like Homer Dinsmore was beside her yesterday, do n''t you reckon?"
22328Let''s dance,"she cried; then stopped and looked at him in surprise:"What''s the matter with you?"
22328Lookin''for anybody in particular?"
22328No reasons to offer, son?"
22328Not so?"
22328Now you, young fellow-- what''s your name?"
22328Now, if I could make out to get off for a few days--""You could get that sarsaparilla across the bar at the Bird Cage, could n''t you, Jumbo?"
22328Of what use was it?
22328Old?
22328Or was this meeting an accidental one?
22328Overstreet?"
22328Question is, can you find the cache?"
22328Question is, what''s safest for us?"
22328Ranger?"
22328Ridley?"
22328Ridley?"
22328Roberts?"
22328Said you was a rustler, did he?"
22328See?
22328See?"
22328See?"
22328See?"
22328Seen anything of''em?
22328Shall we stop right here with him?"
22328Short?
22328Some curious to see who the guy was that did n''t want to say''How?''
22328That would n''t be human, would it?"
22328They caught the fellow, did n''t they-- the one that did it?"
22328Think I''m goin''to let you rob me of my own money an''never cheep?
22328Think we''re goin''to take you home with the''Paches between us an''there?
22328Think you can take a herd up the trail to Tascosa?"
22328To identify the victim?
22328To make sure that the victim was quite dead?
22328Un''erstand?"
22328Understand, Jumbo?"
22328Understand?"
22328Understand?"
22328Understand?"
22328Understand?"
22328Wadley?"
22328Want me to arrest Homer Dinsmore again?"
22328Want to go along?"
22328Was he tall?
22328Was it because of that day when she had come flying between him and the guns of Dinsmore''s lynching- party?
22328Was it being propelled by the current alone, or by some living power behind it?
22328Was it possible to save himself by going?
22328Was there a hidden meaning in that answer?
22328Was there a hint of slackness in the jaw of this good- looking boy?
22328Was this fellow Roberts alone, or had he a dozen Rangers in town with him?
22328Was this time at hand for the Panhandle?
22328Was this woman some one who had been living in Palo Duro Cañon with the outlaws?
22328We''ll keep this gent a prisoner till we know where we''re at?
22328Were his gayety, his loyalty, his fundamental decency, the affectionate sweetness of his disposition, to count for nothing?
22328What about you, Dinsmore?
22328What are you figurin''to do?"
22328What are you, stranger-- high- grade stuff, or the run o''the pen?"
22328What are your instructions, Captain?
22328What did this game Texan think of him who had proposed to leave a wounded man to his fate?
22328What do you reckon a killer like Overstreet cares for the law?
22328What do you reckon he pulled off on me whilst we was in Denver?"
22328What does he want?
22328What had he better do?
22328What in Mexico can you do alone?"
22328What in Sam Hill--?"
22328What kind of a gun is it?"
22328What kind of pilgrim was this fellow Moore?
22328What license have you ever had to think I''d leave a kid like her for the''Paches to play with?"
22328What makes you think they''re goin''to lynch Alviro?"
22328What more does a man need?"
22328What of it?"
22328What was a woman doing alone and on foot in this desert empty of human life for fifty miles or more?
22328What were the masked men like?
22328What''s likin''him got to do with it?
22328What''s the charge?"
22328What''s yore hurry?
22328What''s yore programme?"
22328What... what do you think he''s going to do?"
22328When I druv a wagon oncet gatherin''bones--""Gathering bones?"
22328Where are the rest of yore party?
22328Where had he been when she so desperately needed help?
22328Where is Ridley?
22328Where were they?
22328Where were you?"
22328Where''s the gold, Pete?"
22328Which way did they go?
22328Who is it?"
22328Who killed Rutherford Wadley?"
22328Who says you get a third?"
22328Who wants to live in a land where you do n''t have to rustle for a livin''?"
22328Who was it this time?"
22328Who was with you when the Indians took after you?"
22328Why ca n''t you let folks alone?"
22328Why cayn''t she go along with us an''hole up till the''Paches are gone an''till... things kinda settle down?"
22328Why did n''t you boys keep this under your hats?"
22328Why do n''t you use yore brains?"
22328Why does this fellow Ridley claim he''s alone?
22328Why fear, since he had to face the danger anyhow?
22328Why had she made such an exhibition of herself?
22328Why is it that the most tender- hearted young women like to see big two- fisted men afraid of them?
22328Why not make a clean job of it and wipe him out too?
22328Why should he let their folly destroy him too?
22328Why should he not dance?
22328Why should he stay to let these devils torture him?
22328Why should we shoot him?"
22328Why?
22328Whyfor should you an''me stretch a rope when we ca n''t help Dave a mite?
22328Will you go or stay?"
22328Will you have the horses right where I want''em when I want''em?"
22328Will you or wo n''t you?
22328Will you tell her I''m right sorry, Captain?"
22328Wo n''t you ever learn sense?
22328Would they choose that way out of the difficulty?
22328You cayn''t do it now, can you?
22328You do n''t see any big bunch of fat cows with my brand on''em, do you?
22328You got any friends on the way?
22328You have, ai n''t you?"
22328You mean... fight you?"
22328You shakin''for the drinks?
22328You would n''t say their brains are as good as a white man''s, would you?"
22328You would n''t... take advantage of that, Jack?"
22328You_ are_ still my friend, are n''t you?"
22328Young?
29485''Ai n''t thar no rel''tives on the mother''s side?'' 29485 ''Ai n''t thar no steps which can be took?''

29485''As how?'' 29485 ''As how?''
29485''As how?'' 29485 ''As when an''whar?''
29485''Be thar any feachures,''says Enright to the Turner person,''calc''lated to offend the y''ears of innocence?'' 29485 ''Be they many of that Woman Suffrage brand?''

29485''But about them Frenches?'' 29485 ''But be they competent?''
29485''But he learns in time, of course?'' 29485 ''But how about its mother?''
29485''But is this yere inebriate worth the worry?'' 29485 ''But is this yere surrender feasible?''
29485''But s''ppose,''argues Tutt,''these Red Dog crim''nals wakes up to it that this yere Spellin''Book Ben''s a ringer?'' 29485 ''Ca n''t some of you- all,''he says, plenty peevish,''head this yere mushy old tarrapin off?
29485''Could I lie? 29485 ''Did you ever hear the Jedge talk?''

29485''Does it go as it lays?'' 29485 ''Even so,''reemarks the Red Dog chief indulgently,''would that of itse''f, I asks, be reckoned any setback?
29485''Folks,''he says,''I asks, in all hoomility, is thar anythin''I can say or do in this yere camp without throwing away my life?'' 29485 ''Gents,''he says,''am I to stand mootely by an''see this tavern, the best j''int ondoubted in Arizona, insulted?''

29485''Is thar any objections,''asks Enright,''to our visitin''this modern pris''ner of Chillon? 29485 ''Is thar anything we- all can he''p you to, Miss?''
29485''Is thar time,''asks Nell of Enright,''for me to round up Missis Rucker an''Tucson Jennie? 29485 ''Is that remark to be took sarkastic?''
29485''Is your Peggy sweetheart pretty?'' 29485 ''It''s licker, ai n''t it?''
29485''It''s that locoed Digger Injun, ai n''t it?'' 29485 ''Jack,''he says, appealin''to Moore, who happens to be present,''does that thing look like me?''

29485''Me marry him?'' 29485 ''Me?
29485''Me? 29485 ''No one mentions Jackson,''says Mike, who''s becomin''frightened an''fretted;''whatever''s the idee of any one talkin''about Jackson, anyhow?''
29485''Now I do n''t see why none?'' 29485 ''Now, you onwashed drunkard, will you surrender?''
29485''Oh, he wo n''t, wo n''t he?'' 29485 ''Pol''tics?''

29485''Sammy,''he says to Enright,''you was old enough to rec''llect when I has that location over on the upper Hawgthief? 29485 ''So water''s all you samples?''
29485''So you''d sooner die?'' 29485 ''Thar''s French an''his wife?''
29485''Thar,''he says, danglin''them gewgaws in the sun,''you do n''t notice no actresses flittin''about the scene arrayed like that, do you? 29485 ''That Miss Bark mentions she''s Woman Suffrage, Sam?''

29485''Till Dave wakes up?'' 29485 ''Was you afraid of this yere Jenks?''

29485''Whar to?'' 29485 ''Whar''s this sufferer at?''
29485''Wharever is this Oscar party?'' 29485 ''What am I eager to say?
29485''What be your dem''crats like, Dave?'' 29485 ''What do you reckon''s wrong with that party?''

29485''What''s that?'' 29485 ''What''s the finish of this interestin''crim''nal?''
29485''What''s the limit?'' 29485 ''What''s the malady?''
29485''What''s the subject?'' 29485 ''What''s these yere slanders,''shouts Rucker,''you- all is levelin''at my wife''s hotel?

29485''Who you talkin''about?'' 29485 ''Who you talkin''to?''
29485''Who?'' 29485 ''Whoever do you reckon that is, Bug?''
29485''Whoever he is?'' 29485 ''Whoever''s bringin''up this yere baby, you or me?''
29485''Why not introdooce him,''breaks in Rucker, who''s nosin''about,''to that aflickted shorthorn who comes groanin''in on the stage last night? 29485 ''Wrong?''
29485''You ai n''t been long hooked up?'' 29485 ''You ai n''t goin''to t''ar into him for that, be you?''

29485After a spell, nothin''bein''spoke on either side, Washington Boggs calls out:''Is this yere Gen''ral Cornwallis?''
29485After a while he looks up an''says:''Which you do n''t notice no swirlin''drifts of snow outside, do you?
29485Ai n''t I in this?'' 29485 Ai n''t you met up frequent with that form of horned toad?

29485Ca n''t you see their names yere up in the corner?''
29485Could I lie, you asks?

29485Do I overstate the trooth, Dave?''
29485Do n''t you agree with me, Doc?''

29485Ever since little Enright Peets is born Tutt has conducted himse''f in a downhill manner towards all of us, an''been allowed to do so; as why not?

29485chirps Nell, her elbow on the lay- out, an''her little round chin in her fist;''thar''s the Frenches, over to the corrals?
29485he asks at last,''or shall we call it nothin''more''n a brainless effort to be funny?''
29485he exclaims;"however does that jack- rabbit get himse''f mixed in with them sheep?"
29485repeats Texas;''whoever but that postmaster?

26061About you?
26061Ai n''t you feeling well?

26061An'', in the meantime, what if Bethune finds out he''s been tricked? 26061 An'', you say, yer dad told you all about this partnership business?"
26061An''kin I go to the store with yo''?

26061And how long will the water last in Lodgepole?
26061And would n''t you feel proud of having discovered him? 26061 And you do n''t even deny cutting the pack?"
26061And you knew that they always followed me through the hills?
26061And you think the girl has got the description?
26061And-- you love it, now?
26061Anything else, Bill?
26061Are horses under the ban, too?
26061But the location of the-- the strike,she persisted,"do you know it?"
26061But, about the other things: Mr. Watts can you haul them from town?
26061But, how does he make a living?
26061But, suppose the rock had been right? 26061 But, why should you want to marry me?"
26061But, would you have shot him, really?
26061By the way, Miss Sinclair, may I ask if you are making satisfactory headway in your own enterprise?
26061Ca n''t I help?
26061Ca n''t we get anything to eat, either?
26061Could n''t you come over an''bring yer sewin''some day?
26061Danger?
26061Did I have it last?
26061Did I? 26061 Did Schultz see you about it himself?"
26061Did he make his strike, an''why did n''t he record hit?
26061Did n''t I tell you once that yer dad played a lone hand?
26061Did n''t yo''send for her?
26061Did yer dad tell you about this partnership?
26061Did you catch the horse- thieves?

26061Did you want to file?
26061Do you know the location of my father''s mine?
26061Do you know where I found it?
26061Do you mean that you and my father were partners, and that you know the location of his mine?
26061Do you mean to say that there is no place where we can get accommodation for the night?
26061Do you mean to tell me you carry a jug of vinegar with you wherever you go?
26061Do you mean,interrupted the girl,"why do n''t I form a partnership with you?"
26061Do you want to know where?
26061Does she know he made a strike?
26061Hain''t it grand lookin''?
26061Has Vil Holland imagination?
26061Has he been,--er, interfering in any way with your attempt to locate your father''s strike?
26061Has n''t Mr. Watts the right to rent his land for a horse pasture?
26061Has n''t he? 26061 Have they got a line on''em at all?"
26061Have you a good saddle horse for sale?
26061He rid that- a- way sometimes, did n''t he, Watts?
26061How about that jug? 26061 How about the sheep camp?"
26061How could I ever have been deceived by that disgusting Monk Bethune?
26061How do you know my father took any pictures of his mine?
26061How far is it back to the trail?
26061How in the world am I ever going to find one tiny little valley among all these?
26061How is the sick man?

26061How''s he getting on?
26061How''s yer pa, an''where''s he at?
26061How?
26061How?
26061I could n''t tell for sure that it was he-- I did n''t even see the color of the horse-- but who else could it be? 26061 I hear old man Samuelson''s sick?"
26061I kin go, cain''t I, Ma?
26061I like to ride, do n''t you? 26061 I say, Monk, what''s this bally important business we''ve got on hand?"
26061I suppose our real acquaintance will begin when the game we are playing comes to a show- down?
26061I suppose you''re wondering how I came to be in among those horses?
26061I wonder if he would have dared? 26061 I wonder if there is anything I could do?"
26061I wonder if-- if he left any papers, or note books, or maps, or things that would enable anyone to locate the claim? 26061 I wonder whether it was he who watched me last night?
26061I wonder who it could have been?
26061I wonder who it was?
26061I wonder why my father entrusted his pack sack to you?
26061If I had lived like that for months, did you say? 26061 If the raid''s come off, why was n''t I in on it-- an''me keepin''Lightnin''up an''ready fer it''s goin''on three months?
26061In his condition, ought he attempt a ride like that?
26061In how long?
26061Is it possible I''ve misjudged him?
26061Is n''t this yours? 26061 Is that the reason you threw Lord Clendenning into the creek, that day?"
26061Is the proprietor anywhere about?
26061Is there another hotel in this town?
26061Is there anything I can do?
26061Is there anything in the world I can do to help you?
26061Is-- is this the Watts ranch?
26061It is about the first slip you''ve made, is n''t it?
26061Lawzie me, John Watts, what''s ailin''yo''now-- got a burr in under yo''gallus?
26061Let''s see, there are about six hundred of the white faces, are n''t there?
26061Let''s see, where would daddy have started from? 26061 Lightnin''?"
26061Lost yer pa''s claim?
26061Lost?
26061Maybe you could suggest some work that is more fit?
26061Mr. Bethune? 26061 My way takes me within a short distance of your cabin; may I ride with you?"
26061My word, d''ye think he''d dare? 26061 Now, Thompson, what''s the use of talkin''like that?
26061Of love?
26061Oh, can you? 26061 Oh, could n''t you_ possibly_ go before that?"
26061Oh, it was Vil Holland, was it? 26061 Oh, so you know the soul- puncher, do you?
26061Oh, that''s where I dropped it, eh? 26061 Oh, where is he?"
26061Oh, why could n''t he have believed me?
26061Ought n''t you stay with the horses while I make the arrangements?
26061Partners?
26061S stands for south, but what does SC mean? 26061 Say, who''s runnin''this here_ hotel_?"
26061Schultz, you say? 26061 Sho'', now, Miss-- he wo n''t hurt yo''none, will yo'', Mr. Bethune?
26061So there''s no chance for any argument, is there?
26061So to- night''s the night yer figgerin''on pullin''the raid, is it?
26061Speaking of Vil Holland, why did you ask whether he had-- imagination?
26061Such as horse- thieving?
26061Surely, this must be the place, but-- where is the crack? 26061 The Villain?"
26061The one you went to see, over on Big Porcupine, was n''t it?
26061There wo n''t be anybody to ask me every day or two if I''ve made my strike yet? 26061 Told Monk all about it, did he-- location an''all, I suppose?"
26061War- bag?
26061Was it the Indians? 26061 Was the doctor got?"
26061Watts, where''s yer manners? 26061 We- all thought a right smart o''yo''pa, did n''t we, Vil?
26061Well, ma''am, how''s the Big Boss gittin''on?
26061Well?
26061Were you and he such great friends?
26061What are hobbles?
26061What d''you reckon, Buck? 26061 What day can you come?"
26061What did he die of?
26061What did he want?
26061What did you put on it?
26061What do you mean that he seems to take an interest in your comings and goings?
26061What do you mean-- lost? 26061 What do you mean?
26061What do you mean?
26061What has happened?
26061What if I have trouble locating the mine and have to stay here all summer?
26061What is Gee Dot?
26061What is the matter?
26061What is there that daddy would have designed as''a,''and''b?''
26061What was the uprising?
26061What would you do with the picture if I gave it to you?
26061What yo''mean, how''bout hit?
26061What''s the big hurry about the fences, Watts? 26061 What''s the matter with Bill or some of Samuelson''s riders?"
26061What''s the matter with the one you got?
26061What''s the matter, Miss? 26061 What''s the matter?
26061What''s this? 26061 When did he file it?"
26061Wher''s Microby?
26061Where away?
26061Where has he gone?
26061Where is Microby?
26061Where was his camp?
26061Where will it be now?
26061Where would they be? 26061 Where''s Lightning?"
26061Where''s Vil Holland, have you seen him?
26061Where''s yo''manners at? 26061 Where''s your gun?"
26061Where''s your jug? 26061 Where''s your whisky?"
26061Where-- where is this claim?
26061Which?
26061Who can tell? 26061 Who did you say he is?"
26061Who did?
26061Who is this Vil Holland you speak of, and why did he want to drive off the sheep?
26061Who made it possible for me to strike it rich? 26061 Who run''em off?
26061Who told you to say it was Vil Holland?
26061Who, then, was the man that lay sprawled by the side of the trail?
26061Whut''s a movie? 26061 Why did I show him the map, and the pictures?
26061Why did he relinquish?
26061Why did they drive the sheep out? 26061 Why do n''t men like them?"
26061Why do n''t you get at it?
26061Why not marry this man and give up the hopeless struggle?
26061Why not we- all leave Mr. Sinclair''s darter live up there?
26061Why not?
26061Why should he say anything about you?
26061Why was he in a hurry?
26061Why was he in such a hurry?
26061Why''especially me''? 26061 Why, what in the world do you mean?"
26061Why?
26061Will yo''give me a pitcher?
26061Would n''t you like to take these home?
26061Yeh?
26061You ai n''t left- handed, are you?
26061You believe he still follows you?
26061You do not fear him?
26061You have enemies in the hills? 26061 You have n''t forgotten about my school?"
26061You knew I thought that of you-- and you did n''t hate me?
26061You knew he made a strike?
26061You knew he was searching my cabin all the time?
26061You knew him-- well?
26061You mean-- the Wattses?
26061You thought Bethune might have-- have attacked me?
26061You want that horse?
26061You were n''t, by any chance-- partners, were you?
26061You''re goin''to keep on huntin''your dad''s claim, ai n''t you?
26061You-- you accuse me of being a-- a horse- thief?
26061You-- you say you located Rod Sinclair''s strike? 26061 _ Then, at last, we struck it._"What did he mean?
26061''Fer how much?''
26061''Meanin'', he''s goin''to git well?''
26061''What do you mean?''
26061An''how''s the sheep camp?
26061An''what business is it of yourn if I did?
26061And did the swarthy face flush a shade darker beneath its tan?
26061And how much gold I brought back to- day?
26061And if I had, I''d have had a nice little race on my hands to file it, would n''t I?"
26061And that reprobate, Vil Holland?"
26061And what claim was he going to file?
26061And what does he want with it?"
26061And what was it daddy was trying to tell her?
26061And who were these raiders?
26061And why did he carry that disgusting jug?
26061And will I ever find the right one?"
26061And you are not afraid-- alone at night in the hills?
26061And, above all, what would be the outcome?
26061And, am I not to be asked to share your repast?"
26061And, how do I know that he told the truth about Lord Clendenning and Vil Holland?"
26061And, surely you wo n''t refuse to do this for me, after I bandaged it all up?
26061Are they goin''to start a school for that litter of young Wattses?
26061Bethune?"
26061But ef folks gits pitchers they does git rich, do n''t they?"
26061But forewarned is forearmed, is n''t it?
26061But how do you know there are hobbles in dad''s pack?"
26061But no, there was the repeated searching of her cabin-- and had not Lord Clendenning caught him in the act?
26061But what does he mean by the wiggly looking mark before the word center?
26061But what in the world can I do to make money?
26061But why had Bethune told Microby that he would get that picture if he had to kill her and Vil Holland?
26061But you do n''t believe I cut that pack, so what''s the use denying it?"
26061But, I wonder how he could have gotten that''hunch,''as he called it?
26061But, SC?
26061But, for a moment it seemed that--"She stopped abruptly and glanced anxiously into the girl''s face,"But what in the world will we do?
26061But, she blushed with shame-- what must he think of her?
26061But, who am I to question Rod''s judgment?
26061But, you-- surely you do n''t think I''m a horse- thief?"
26061Ca n''t you take a joke?"
26061Cain''t we fix to go?"
26061Can you see that it does?
26061Can you whip that?"
26061Comical, was n''t it?
26061Could it be possible that her distrust of Vil Holland was unfounded?
26061Could it be possible that the suave Bethune was a horse- thief?
26061Could n''t you find the key?
26061Did n''t I tell you out at the Samuelsons''that I had a hunch you''d make your strike before school time?
26061Did the soul- puncher have anything to say about me?"
26061Do n''t you s''pose I know that if the Old Man was worst one of his own boys would of be''n a foggin''it fer town hisself?
26061Do n''t you suppose I know you relinquished that claim?
26061Do they sell whisky at the store?
26061Do you get it?"
26061Do you know where it is?"
26061Folks is nice, hain''t they?"
26061Found yer dad''s claim yet?"
26061Girl, what are you doing here?
26061Goin''down the crick, to- day, eh?
26061Had he discovered that she had tricked him with a false claim?
26061Had she misjudged this man, even as she had so nearly become the dupe of Bethune?
26061Had someone of cruder mold undertaken to discover her secret?
26061Had there actually been horsemen, or were the sounds part of her vivid vision of the long ago?
26061Hain''t he good lookin''though-- Mr. Bethune?
26061Hain''t yo''done tol''her to git off an''come in?
26061Hain''t yo''shamed a- cussin''?"
26061Has he made his strike?"
26061Has that devil dared to show his face after the horse raid?"
26061Have I ever done anything that you know of, or have heard tell of, that a sober man would n''t do?"
26061Have you got another horse here?"
26061Have you got the horse?"
26061Have you one you will sell?"
26061He could run all day if he had to, could n''t you, Buck?"
26061He''s finished his job an''gone, ai n''t he?
26061He----""Relinquished one claim and filed another?"
26061Honey, did them hens wake yo''up?
26061House cleanin'', eh?
26061How about it?"
26061How about the Samuelson horse raid-- your part in it?
26061How are my friends, the Wattses, these days?
26061How be yo''?
26061How long had he stood there, listening?
26061How much will you rent it to me for?"
26061How''d next Sunday, a week do?"
26061How''s everything over on Porcupine?"
26061How''s ma an''the baby?"
26061I even thought that you, yourself, might doubt-- might ask yourself why he waited until I became rich before he told me of his love?
26061I just know he meant that the cabin was going to be for me-- or, did he know that Mr. Samuelson was going to ask him to winter the cattle?
26061I s''pect you took in the picture show in town?"
26061I s''pose yo''re yere about yo''pa''s claim?"
26061I suppose you''ve had breakfast?"
26061I wonder how many of those rock walls there are in the hills?
26061I wonder what he thinks of me?
26061If he thinks I carry what he wants with me, would he hesitate at murder?
26061If he were to be taken at his neighbors''valuation, why was it that he watched her comings and goings from his notch in the hills?
26061If it had n''t be''n for you, me an''Buck might of made a hit with the lady, might n''t we, Buck?
26061If you had, you would n''t still be huntin''it, would you?"
26061In the matter of the pack sack, to whom would a man intrust his belongings, if not to a friend?
26061In which direction should she start?
26061Is Sinclair back?"
26061Is hit like the circust?
26061Is n''t it right?
26061Is they prickly pears in town?"
26061It did n''t take long to fix it, did it?"
26061Kin I go?"
26061Microby Dandeline Watts, where''s yo''manners?"
26061Not sayin''''howdy''?"
26061Now, Pat, can you remember all that?"
26061Now, you tell me, is ten dollars a month enough rent?"
26061Of her defense of Bethune, of her deliberate rudeness, and worst of all, of her night ride with the horse- thieves?
26061Or, had a new factor entered the game?
26061Over in the Blackfoot country?"
26061Pa says, whut''s folks gon na pay money fer pitchers they kin git''em fer nothin''?
26061Patty glanced at him in surprise:"Why?"
26061Patty smiled:"Who is''we''?"
26061Patty whirled suddenly upon the girl and grasping her shoulder with a doughy hand shook her smartly:"Who told you that?
26061Patty wondered whether the man had purposely raised his voice, or was it her imagination?
26061Patty''s eyes glinted angrily:"The stakes would have to be pretty high for you to run him, say, fifty miles, would n''t they?"
26061Practice is all it takes, an''----""But, why should I carry it?
26061SW or SE would be southwest, or southeast, but SC--?"
26061Samuelson?"
26061Shall we say, the romance?
26061Shall you remain here?"
26061She mounted, and turned to Ma Watts:"Ca n''t you come up some day and bring the children?
26061So until I make a mistake, I am safe, eh?
26061So, I says,''Doc, how''s he gittin''on?''
26061So, it was Monk Bethune who, all along, had been plotting to steal the secret of her father''s strike?
26061So, you''re Rod Sinclair''s daughter, are you?
26061Somethin''I kin do fer you?"
26061Somethin''wrong?"
26061Suddenly, she straightened in her saddle, and her eyes glowed:"I wonder if-- if he has been watching-- Monk Bethune?
26061Suppose it were he?
26061Suppose this one that she had chosen at random terminated in a cul- de- sac?
26061Suppose, it had really been daddy''s claim?"
26061The corners of the old lady''s mouth were twitching behind the handkerchief she held to her lips:"What did the doctor say?"
26061The cowboy''s eyes lighted:"It was?
26061The girl was deliberately lying-- but why?
26061The kindly brown eyes regarded her intently:"Ever do any prospectin''?"
26061The parson appeared not to notice the constraint but turned to Thompson:"By the way, Tom, why is n''t Vil riding the round- up this year?
26061Then possibly you can tell me who has?"
26061They''s thet front ex----""Is it anything very serious?
26061Those you would shoot, or who would shoot you?"
26061Was he no better than Bethune-- only shrewder, more patient, richer in imagination?
26061Was it fancy, or did the black eyes flash a gleam of hate-- a glitter of rage beneath their long up- curving lashes?
26061Was it possible that he was riding to file_ her claim_?
26061Was it true, all this man had told her?
26061Was the Samuelson ranch a place of mystery?
26061Was there evidence of their having been tampered with?"
26061Was there just a trace of mockery in the tone?
26061Watching to see that no harm comes to-- me?
26061We goin''to sleep in under the wagon?"
26061What can anybody do to make money in this Godforsaken country?
26061What did it mean?
26061What difference did it make which direction she chose?
26061What do they know of the joys and the despairs of uncertainty?
26061What do you mean?
26061What do you mean?
26061What do you mean?"
26061What do you mean?"
26061What has Mr. Bethune got to do with it?"
26061What is one mine more or less to me?"
26061What of Vil Holland?
26061What right has Vil Holland and others of his ilk to tell you, or me, or anybody else who we shall, or shall not rent to?
26061What was it he had said?
26061What was it they had said at Thompson''s about Mr. Bethune?
26061What was that stretching to the southward, a long ribbon of white in the moonlight?
26061What was the meaning of the light sounds-- the soft tramp of horses, and the padding of feet upon the stairs?
26061What we want to know,''I says,''is he goin''to git well, er is he goin''to die?''
26061What were they doing there?
26061When I''ve been searching for the claim for months?"
26061When the horse stood saddled and bridled, the man turned to Patty:"Oh, about the Samuelsons-- do you know how to get to Big Porcupine?"
26061Where do people hide things?
26061Where in the world are you going?"
26061Where should she go?
26061Where should she hide it?
26061Where''s Vil Holland?
26061Who are you trying to get that picture for?
26061Who knows?
26061Who''s dead?"
26061Why did I trust anybody?
26061Why did I trust him?
26061Why did he follow her about upon her rides?
26061Why do n''t yo''live there?
26061Why do you ask?"
26061Why do you continue every day to jeopardize your interests-- yes, your very life----?"
26061Why does folks wear''em in town?"
26061Why is it that everyone looks askance at a prospector?
26061Why should he be made to suffer because his grandmother was an Indian-- the daughter of a Cree chief?
26061Why was Vil Holland riding to town as fast as his horse could run?
26061Why were they fighting at the very door of her cabin?
26061Why, then, were such men as Thompson and the Reverend Len Christie his friends?
26061Why?
26061Why?"
26061Will you rent me your horses and wagon?
26061Will you?
26061Wo n''t you climb down?
26061Would he ever regard her as other than a silly fool?
26061Would n''t she just gloat?
26061Would one of them be left maimed and bleeding for her to bind up and coax back to life?
26061Would one of them kill the other?
26061Yo''be''n huntin''yo''pa''s location yet?"
26061Yo''come to live with us- uns?"
26061You carried that jug-- went to all that trouble, just to-- to_ tease_ me?"
26061You goin''to do it, an''earn them wages, or ai n''t you?
26061You goin''to take over a bunch of stock?"
26061You really located it?"
26061You''ll find Mrs. Samuelson different from----""Ma Watts?"
26061cried the woman, shaking the suds from her bare arms,"How be yo'', honey?
29580A spotted yearling with the brand cut out, hey? 29580 All the Lorrigans-- what does it matter?
29580And if you should count fifty and ask me again--"Ten, twenty, thirty, forty- fifty, will you marry me?
29580And order out a special engine and coach,--what do I care what it will cost? 29580 And where were you, Lance?
29580And why should Lance be waving his hand when he should pass the house? 29580 Are you going over-- to the funeral?"
29580Are you hurt? 29580 Are you plumb sure of that dope, Lance?"
29580Aw-- his mother was an actress, was n''t she? 29580 Been to the dance?"
29580Belle, where did dad and the boys go?
29580Braggin''about your nerve, are yuh, Scotty?
29580Ca n''t they dig up any better place than this for you to teach in?
29580Carry the truth, do yuh? 29580 Could I show you mine?"
29580D''you know my gran''ma? 29580 Do n''t you know anybody at all, around here?"
29580Do you love me, sweetheart?
29580Do you think that with all your lawlessness you can come and break up my school? 29580 Duke and Al did n''t get in yet, eh?"
29580Duke, what you been up to?
29580Duke? 29580 Easy marks, ay?"
29580Ever know the AJ to spend a cent they did n''t have to?
29580Girl-- girl, what is it about you that drives a man mad with tenderness for you, sometimes?
29580Got any mittens? 29580 Hard- boiled?
29580He rinned away wi''you? 29580 Hear any talk among the boys about beef rustling?"
29580Him? 29580 Him?
29580How game is my girl?
29580How long will the boys be out?
29580How long''s he goin''to stay this time?
29580How''r yuh?
29580How''re you fixed for firewood? 29580 How''s Californy for weather?"
29580Howdy, Mr. Douglas? 29580 I dunno-- you take a Lorrigan--""Him?
29580I''d take-- now, if your grandma has one that''s all spotted, you might take that, could n''t you? 29580 I''m afraid you might be hit--""Afraid?
29580I? 29580 I?
29580If the rest wo n''t come through you and I''ll do it, honey--"Who said we would n''t?
29580Is it just a Bible tree, or does it flourish somewhere really?
29580Is she game enough to stay here while Lance goes for a doctor? 29580 Is there any particular place to go from here?"
29580Me, for one; what yuh go''n take my girl away from me for?
29580Me? 29580 Must I go clear down to the ranch and pack up water in my hat, and slosh it on your face?
29580Now, what''s eatin''on old Scotty Douglas, do yuh reckon? 29580 Now, why did I go off and leave her like that?
29580Oh, what the heck do we want with a speech?
29580Oh, you will, will yuh?
29580Or is it hopeless? 29580 Or old Scotty?
29580Say, what sort of country is this Black Rim, anyway?
29580Say, what time does this ranch get up, for heck sake?
29580School, eh?
29580Sleep any?
29580So it''s all right, Lance, honey-- my God, Lance,_ what is it_? 29580 That you, Lance?
29580Them Californy got bronks to bust?
29580There''s been enough fighting Lorrigans, do n''t you think?
29580Think you can stand it to ride?
29580Wait, I''ll lift a wire; can you crawl under?
29580Want to borrow something?
29580Well, what is it?
29580Well, when do we make the speech? 29580 Well, where did they_ go?_"Lance ground his cigarette under his heel.
29580Well, you still mournin''over your spotty yearlin''?
29580What do they do for water? 29580 What have you got up your sleeve, Tom?"
29580What lock? 29580 What would happen to old Scotty Douglas if he lost a bunch, for gosh sake?
29580What you going to do if this wind keeps up? 29580 What''s eatin''on''em?
29580What''s the Piegan word for_ accomplice_, Sam?
29580What''s the matter with doing the thing in style, and giving a house- warming dance, and turning it over to the neighborhood with a speech?
29580What''s the mystery, Sam? 29580 When did this happen?"
29580Where are you going to set''er?
29580Where are your wraps?
29580Where is the schoolhouse going to be built? 29580 Where''s Jim Boyle at?"
29580Where''s your horse?
29580Who knows this fellow? 29580 Who said a Lorrigan run?
29580Who was it called me back to fight? 29580 Who was it said he was going to fix them damn Lorrigans?"
29580Who''s going to hold their hat in front of the nice, new schoolhouse till it''s done and ready? 29580 Why not?
29580Why, honey, do n''t you_ want_ Lance home? 29580 You ai n''t able to heave him off me, are you?"
29580You are?
29580You do n''t think for a minute I''d take advantage of his absence, Mrs. Lorrigan? 29580 You do n''t want to see a fight start now, do you?"
29580You do n''t_ know?_ Did n''t dad say anything? 29580 You do n''t_ know?_ Did n''t dad say anything?
29580You mean you ai n''t got any particular place to go from here?
29580You ought to know that with all this trouble between your father and my father--"Well, can you tell me when they ever did have any truck together? 29580 You see?"
29580You''ve seen it, honey?
29580_ Now_ what?
29580_ What is it?_ What has happened? 29580 _ What is it?_ What has happened?
29580A Douglas not as game as a Lorrigan?"
29580A pleasant little secret, was n''t it?"
29580Ai n''t I been standing pain since before daylight?
29580Ai n''t I got cattle enough of my own, without rustlin''off my neighbors?"
29580Ai n''t I letting yuh_ live_?
29580Ai n''t that right, Riley?"
29580And by the way, Belle, if you''re going to get me to Jumpoff in time for that evening train, do n''t you think it''s about time you started?"
29580And do you think I''ll be under any obligation to Tom Lorrigan?
29580And do yuh reckon any other man could walk up to me and call me a thief and live long enough to take it back?
29580And how did a decent woman happen to have all the fancy clothes which Belle Lorrigan possessed?
29580And how''re you going to let''em know where to come to, without giving away the secret?"
29580And if you are, please may I stand beside you while you eat a sandwich at midnight?"
29580And is this the lock?"
29580And then, with faint exasperation,"Does n''t any one ever talk any more on this ranch?"
29580And what about you?"
29580And where did you get hold of that hat?"
29580And-- do you want to know, honestly, what dad has been doing?"
29580And--""Without a license?
29580Anything yuh want brought out?"
29580Are n''t there any men on the place, for heaven''s sake?"
29580Are there any relatives, other than the girl?
29580Are you afraid to love me back?
29580Are you afraid?"
29580Are you engaged for every dance to- night, Miss Miller?
29580Are you game to love Lance the way Lance loves you?
29580Are you game?
29580Are you game?"
29580Belle, what do you reckon it''s worth to a man to be hauled into court and called a cow thief?"
29580Break out a few?"
29580But just why should he be followed?
29580But the old boys have gone, and these new ones-- Lance, what is the matter with the Devil''s Tooth ranch?
29580But why do n''t you go with the outfit?"
29580But-- you know, do n''t you, that the Lorrigans never spoiled your party for you?
29580Ca n''t Riley drive the chuck- wagon over and have the supper served by a camp- fire?
29580Ca n''t you take the hint and see I''m trying not to have any trouble with yuh?
29580Call_ me_ a painted Jezebel, will she?"
29580Can a girl, born in rather sordid conditions, lift herself through sheer determination to the better things for which her soul hungered?
29580Can you stand that?"
29580D''you like yellow kittens, or litty gray kittens, or black ones?"
29580Did he think that a Douglas would come so low as to wave at a Lorrigan?"
29580Did n''t the boys?"
29580Did n''t you find her that way, dad?"
29580Did you tell those kids why you sent''em home?"
29580Did you think, maybe, that I hazed you over to find that hide and bury it, just to keep it from scentin''up the scenery?
29580Did yuh take notice, Al, that Coaley come within an ace of sending me over the road?
29580Did yuh think mebby it was n''t all NL beef you been eating?"
29580Did-- did you want to go with them, honey?
29580Do n''t you know them kids have got all of twelve miles to ride, facing this wind most of the way?
29580Do n''t you know-- it''s only a coward that will lie to save his own skin?"
29580Do n''t you think you ought to be as friendly as your horse, honey?"
29580Do n''t you think you''re kinda hasty?
29580Do you get that?
29580Do you know it''s all of ten miles to the nearest ranch?
29580Do you know that?"
29580Do you reckon, Al, I''ve got you along for a guide, to point out what my eyes is getting too poor to see?
29580Do you think she should logically have learned to ride?
29580Does a Lorrigan always love blue eyes?"
29580Does she think for a minute I''d_ go?_ She has n''t so much as thanked you for that piano, Tom.
29580Duke, why_ ca n''t_ you be a man and take the blame yourself, just once?
29580Ever figure that out, Al?"
29580Gloves?
29580Got enough to keep warm on a hot day?"
29580Have I got to haze yuh all the way home?
29580Have you got the hide with you?"
29580Have you heard from Duke?"
29580He kissed her hair and added,"What do you think is the matter with the ranch?"
29580He shuffled the deck of cards while he talked, and the keno game, interrupted when he began, trailed off into"Who''s play is it?"
29580He wished Mary Hope would quit teaching school; what did she want to stay in the Black Rim for, anyway?
29580How d''yuh do, Miss Douglas?
29580How did Tom Lorrigan get acquainted with her, anyway?
29580How long did you lay awake last night, making it up?
29580How much is the darn thing worth, anyway?
29580How was happiness possible, if the outlaw blood of the Lorrigans ran at high pressure through the veins of his family?
29580How''re they paying her?
29580I can do it, ca n''t I, Riley?"
29580I guess you don''want Coaley, huh?"
29580I''ll have to borrow Belle''s pintos, but we do n''t care, do we?
29580I''m sitting on your keno game, am I?
29580I''ve got to stop off anyway to see a fellow in Reno I promised-- any hot water handy?"
29580I-- what do I care how I get home?
29580If she had as much sense as she''s got nerve--""Why do n''t they build her a schoolhouse, if they want her to teach?"
29580If so, why was unadorned virtue to be commended?
29580If that ai n''t a Lorrigan trick!--""Yeah-- what yuh mean?
29580If we''re going to do it, why not do it right?"
29580If you do n''t think that, why do n''t you go on taking music lessons from Belle?
29580If you think she is n''t good enough for you to visit, why in thunder have you been coming all this while?
29580Is n''t that right, dad?"
29580Is there any place where I can get a piece of bread or something?"
29580Is this the door, ma''am?
29580Is your eye still paining?
29580It would be a poor place to look for anybody, would n''t it?"
29580It''s close to the line of your land, is n''t it, dad?
29580Lorrigan?
29580Mary Hope and her stern, Scotch integrity linked to the blackened Lorrigan name that might soon stand on the roster of the State''s prison?
29580Might you be looking for somebody in particular?"
29580Now, who is it wants to fix the damn Lorrigans?"
29580On the other hand, why had Tom Lorrigan ridden to Squaw Butte that night?
29580On what door?"
29580Or do n''t we?"
29580Or was it?
29580Outlawed because of the blood that flowed in their veins?
29580Put up a notice in Jumpoff?"
29580Rustle a beef and leave the hide laying around?
29580Say, Belle, do you know they took my voice and fitted a glee club to it?
29580Say, oldtimer, how do you figure you''re going to get me outa here?
29580Shall I try and get it out?
29580She is n''t any worse than she was two months ago, is she?"
29580She''s all right--_stop that screaming!_ Good God, girl, where''s your nerve?"
29580Should he tell her about it and ask her to come?
29580Tell me, Lance, did Duke chase Blackie through the fence?"
29580The Lorrigan name-- what does it matter?
29580The Lorrigans?
29580The little Boyle girl is not married yet, I hope?"
29580The way my insides feel-- and you do something for me, will you?
29580Them your horses in the shed?
29580There was a million to be had in Idaho, was there not?
29580Three hours-- and you wo n''t weaken, will you, dear?"
29580Three hours?
29580Throwin''bilin''hot coffee on--""Who says it''s a Lorrigan trick?"
29580To- day?
29580Tom was leaning back against the corral rails, with his arms folded-- and just_ why_ must he lift his eyebrows and smile like Lance?
29580Wake up, Tom, and tell us how long it will take to put up the schoolhouse?
29580Were they really pariahs among their kind?
29580What about the sheriff?
29580What did Scotty have to say, Sam?"
29580What did Tom do, and how did he do it?"
29580What do you expect me to do about it?"
29580What do you think we are-- thieves, Hope Douglas?"
29580What have I said that was outa the way?
29580What in thunder do I care what old Scotty and Jim Boyle says about it?
29580What made you stop, all of a sudden?"
29580What the hell is the reason?"
29580What was the AJ man doing there?
29580What will you do, Lance?
29580What you been doing-- doubling for him in a lead?"
29580What you going to do with''em?
29580What''s he got to say about it?"
29580What''s his brand?"
29580What''s matter with you, asking me what Duke done?
29580What''s the use of having a million, if you work yourself to death getting it?
29580When will you marry me?
29580When?
29580Where all did you and Mel look?"
29580Where did dad and the boys go this morning?"
29580Where did they go?
29580Where does he belong?
29580Where have they all headed for, Sam?
29580Where in the world have you been all this while?
29580Where is your horse?"
29580Where on earth have you been?"
29580Where yuh been?"
29580Where''s that man of yours?
29580Where''s your coat?
29580Where_ you_ goin''?
29580Which led very naturally to the question, Why?
29580Who''s to prove I did n''t?
29580Why assume that Tom Lorrigan had removed it?
29580Why did n''t she get out where she could amount to something?
29580Why did n''t you stop at the bottom?"
29580Why did they do these things when no one expected goodness or generosity from them?
29580Why do n''t you ask Lance what he''s been up to?
29580Why do n''t you beat it, and get your nerves smoothed down a little?"
29580Why do n''t you lick Lance for being on the stable?
29580Why do n''t_ you_ go out any more?"
29580Why had he never come near her again?
29580Why had they built the schoolhouse-- and then given a dance where every one got drunk and the whole thing ended in a fight?
29580Why not put it just at the foot of the ridge, at Cottonwood Spring?
29580Why not suspect him of having placed the hide in the crevice where it had later been found?
29580Why, do n''t you know the world is plumb full of real things to worry about?"
29580Why, he asked mildly, might not the AJ outfit have stolen the yearling?
29580Will it waken them if I-- clean up a little before I go to bed?
29580Will my girl be brave enough to stay here three hours?
29580Will you sit down?"
29580With Mary Hope?"
29580With the Devil''s Tooth outfit as the leaders, who could expect anything but trouble?
29580Would Mary Hope attend the party?
29580Would not Lance--?
29580Would you ever_ think_ she''d stand for Bobbie Burns?
29580You never heard Belle whine in your life, did you, honey?
29580You remember Cheyenne?
29580You would not let your men dictate to you, would you?"
29580You''ve just come from the Lorrigans, have n''t you?"
29580Yuh traveling, or just goin''somewhere?"
29580_ What_ hides?"
29580_ You''re_ not hurt;_ are_ you hurt?
29580are you hurt?"
20044A brother? 20044 A hard ride?"
20044A second?
20044After a woman?
20044After all, what difference does it make? 20044 Ah, Pierre le Rouge, what have I done?"
20044Ah, but as deeply as that?
20044Ah?
20044All of it?
20044All the time that we are gone, you will never say things like this, Dick?
20044Am I responsible if the blockhead has got drunk some place?
20044And Branch?
20044And Diaz?
20044And about her hair-- I think you said it was black?
20044And face dad afterward?
20044And for clothes, Jack?
20044And go unarmed through the mountains? 20044 And he told you he loved you?"
20044And if I were a grown- up girl, do you know what I would answer?
20044And in the mean time?
20044And now?
20044And the horse, Jack?
20044And the trouble?
20044And they say that of you?
20044And we''re pals-- you and me, like the rest of''em?
20044And you ai n''t mad at me, Pierre?
20044And you dared to come to the dance? 20044 And you do n''t hate me-- you hold no grudge against me for the sake of your mother, Pierre?"
20044And you''ll go alone?
20044And you''ve never noticed anything different about her? 20044 And you, Jack, had her interests at heart-- her best interests, poor girl, and did n''t tell her?"
20044And you, lad?
20044And your hair?
20044And yours, Pierre?
20044Another? 20044 Answer me-- your yellow hair against mine-- your child fingers against my grip-- are you equal with me?"
20044Any results?
20044Are you afraid, Dick?
20044Are you afraid?
20044Are you going to let him die?
20044Are you not my father? 20044 Are you ready?"
20044Ask Jack if she loves me? 20044 At least you know that he''s still alive?"
20044Because he''s on the trail--"On the trail?
20044Because of me?
20044Broke? 20044 But I''ve heard-- tell me, do you look like your father?"
20044But are they coming your way?
20044But he did n''t come back to me?
20044But in all those miles of mountains they may never meet?
20044But the black dress?
20044But this is final?
20044But what will be your proof, Dick, whether I win or lose?
20044But where''d you buy those duds, pal? 20044 But you''ve given him up?"
20044Buy?
20044By Jove, Jack, are n''t angry, are you? 20044 By the Lord, have they been missing me?"
20044C- c- c- corset?
20044Can you leave me so easily?
20044Can you resign him like this?
20044Could he have fallen into the river?
20044D''you mean to tell me that you had the nerve to come all the way up the Old Crow by yourself?
20044D''you mean?
20044Damn you, Gandil, I''ve borne with you and your croaking too long, d''ye hear? 20044 Dare what?"
20044Dear Pierre, then for your mother?
20044Dick, why did n''t you fire?
20044Did you say''was''Dick Wilbur?
20044Do I? 20044 Do n''t you know him?"
20044Do n''t you see the kid''s green? 20044 Do n''t you see, Mary, or are you still blind as I was ever since I saw you tonight?
20044Do n''t you see? 20044 Do n''t you see?
20044Do n''t you see? 20044 Do n''t you see?
20044Do you believe in it so much-- really-- Pierre?
20044Do you believe, Pierre?
20044Do you know?
20044Do you like it?
20044Do you mind?
20044Do you need a wrap?
20044Do you want to take me, Pierre?
20044Do you want to wait till to- morrow?
20044Does it have to be this way?
20044Even Jack?
20044Even as I am, what prevents us, Pierre?
20044Expects? 20044 Fire?
20044Follow Pierre le Rouge?
20044Gandil?
20044Go home with you?
20044Going to tie me up?
20044Grinning still? 20044 Harp on her?"
20044Has he sent you after me with mockery?
20044Has she never appealed to you as a woman, Pierre?
20044Have n''t I played a game all my life with the fair ladies? 20044 Have you got that much money, lad?"
20044He really expects to keep me here?
20044He-- he would have kept my flesh and blood away from me?
20044How could she? 20044 How do we swap partners?
20044How do you know?
20044How long since you''ve eaten?
20044How much?
20044How old''s the gun?
20044How will you die, McGurk? 20044 I do n''t know of any, do you?"
20044I suppose that he made love to you one minute and the next told you that bad luck-- something about the cross-- kept him away from you?
20044I suppose we''re still broke, Pierre?
20044I thought he was one of old Boone''s gang? 20044 I''m going to get some books for you, Jack, and we''ll do a bit of reading on the side, shall we?"
20044I, lad? 20044 I-- living with a woman?"
20044I? 20044 I?
20044If I leave the table will you come out?
20044If you were a grown- up girl, do you know what I''d say?
20044If you''d rather have me shoot you down in cold blood?
20044In the name of God, Pierre, what has happened to you?
20044Interested in him, eh?
20044Irritates you a little, eh? 20044 Is he as sure as that, Jack?"
20044Is it you who followed me up the valley?
20044Is it you, Bud, or you, Phil, or you, Jim, or maybe me?
20044Is it you?
20044Is it?
20044Is something troubling you, Jack?
20044Is that your answer?
20044Is there any harm in words?
20044Is there enough on the table to buy the gun?
20044Is there no other way, Pierre?
20044Is there something missing?
20044Is this a lockup-- a jail?
20044It carries the con- conno-- what''s that word, Pierre?
20044It is God who governs me,he said,"and why should I doubt Him?"
20044It is a beautiful name, is it not-- Irene?
20044It''s a bigger job than this one?
20044It''s queer, is n''t it? 20044 Jack, are you vain?"
20044Jack, do n''t you love your old dad any more?
20044Jack, how am I to risk you in the arms of all the strangers in that dance?
20044Jack? 20044 Jack?"
20044Jim, do you chalk all this up against me?
20044Legend? 20044 Legends?"
20044Lies?
20044Like this year?
20044Like what? 20044 Look here, kid, if you''re tryin''to play a charity game with me--""Charity?"
20044Love-- you-- your tiger- heart? 20044 Luck?"
20044Lying?
20044Mad?
20044Making a study of them two for a book?
20044Making yourself to home?
20044Marry-- me?
20044Mary, what is the perfume?
20044McGurk, are you going to pin me down in this?
20044Might even be carried to him, eh-- feet first?
20044Nearest to a man?
20044No, you would keep it; and every time it touched cold against your breast you would think of me, Pierre, would you not?
20044No? 20044 Not for all the people who love you and wait for you now by some warm fire-- some cozy fire, all yellow and bright?"
20044Now you go back on his trail? 20044 On your honor, Jack, it''s not Gandil?"
20044Our Jack-- did this?
20044Partners, Dick?
20044Pierre, and he''s calling for-- d''you hear?
20044Pierre, are you going to nag me about a little thing like that?
20044Pierre, what claim has he upon you? 20044 Pierre, what was that?"
20044Pierre, you are not going to face McGurk? 20044 Pierre--""Well?"
20044Pierre--"Yes?
20044Pierre? 20044 Pierre?
20044Point that gun another way, will you, son?
20044Poor?
20044Really?
20044Red Pierre had killed the woman''s husband?
20044Romantic? 20044 Round up the sheriffs from here to the end of the mountains?"
20044Run?
20044Sat down and cried, eh?
20044Say, kid, why do n''t you try your luck with Mac Hurley? 20044 She found him?"
20044She is with you, McGurk?
20044She was lining out for the stable and then a minute later I saw her swing a saddle onto-- what horse d''you think?
20044Sin? 20044 Sleepy?"
20044So I got sympathetic--"About the first time on record that you''ve been sympathetic with another girl, eh?
20044So he''s gone?
20044So it''s to be this way, Jack?
20044So soon? 20044 So that''s Red Pierre?"
20044So that''s it? 20044 Some bloodhound reincarnated?"
20044Son?
20044Started down the wrong way?
20044Stay?
20044Stick up a train?
20044Sure? 20044 Take her in my arms?
20044Tell me anything you can,said Pierre gently,"because I''ve got to try to be like him, have n''t I?"
20044Tell me,she said,"was-- was this man living with you when he came to me and-- and made speeches-- about love?"
20044That,said the taller stranger,"ought to do very nicely for us, eh?"
20044The coin I''ve lost to you? 20044 The cross goes on, but what of you Jack?"
20044The cross?
20044The hope?
20044The horse, Father Victor-- may I have the roan?
20044The old life over again?
20044Then I can come?
20044Then I suppose you put the hitch that''s on that pack outside?
20044Then we''re friends?
20044There''s no chance of bringing help?
20044This girl? 20044 This glove I found on the floor?"
20044This is my father''s writing, is it not?
20044This?
20044To rob the Berwin Bank?
20044True? 20044 Trust you?
20044Unless you''ll go with me, Dick?
20044Up there? 20044 W- w- w- without me?"
20044W- well?
20044Was he married twice?
20044We''ll be followed?
20044Well, he''s a rather romantic figure, do n''t you think?
20044Well,he snapped,"what''s up?
20044Well?
20044Well?
20044Well?
20044Well?
20044Wh- wh- what?
20044What are you?
20044What are you?
20044What do you know of Red Pierre?
20044What do you mean by that?
20044What do you mean?
20044What do you mean?
20044What do you mean?
20044What do you want me to say? 20044 What do you want with him?"
20044What does''ingenious''mean?
20044What else?
20044What girl?
20044What happened?
20044What have I done, Dick, to deserve the care you have for me?
20044What have they told you?
20044What is it, Jack?
20044What is it, boy? 20044 What is it, then?
20044What is it?
20044What is it?
20044What is it?
20044What is this man McGurk? 20044 What miracle saved you?"
20044What of Diaz?
20044What question?
20044What were you started for?
20044What would I do with him?
20044What you doing?
20044What''s ahead of us, Jack? 20044 What''s become of Branch?
20044What''s happened?
20044What''s that?
20044What''s the second request?
20044What''s this? 20044 What''s this?"
20044What''s up with Gandil?
20044What''s up? 20044 What''s your answer?"
20044What''s your name?
20044What?
20044What?
20044What?
20044When I was found-- was any one else with me?
20044When do you start?
20044Where can we go?
20044Where will you go to hunt for him?
20044Where''s McGurk?
20044Where''s Patterson?
20044Which way did she ride? 20044 White-- vanished at once-- went into the dark as fast as a horse can gallop?"
20044Who does?
20044Who is your father?
20044Who shall it be?
20044Who was it?
20044Who was the silent man?
20044Who''ll-- say, kid, are you stringin''me, or are you drunk? 20044 Who''s your father?"
20044Who?
20044Why not something more than partners, after a while, Jack?
20044Why not? 20044 Why not?"
20044Why should I use it against a night rider, McGurk? 20044 Why should I weep?"
20044Why should n''t I stay? 20044 Why?"
20044Why?
20044Why?
20044Why?
20044Why?
20044Will you shake and call it square?
20044Will you take odds?
20044With Jack? 20044 With me?"
20044With whom do you want to dance? 20044 With you?
20044Wo n''t you see? 20044 Yes or no?"
20044Yes; what else?
20044Yes?
20044Yes?
20044You are going?
20044You forgive me, Dick?
20044You have heard of the wild men of the mountains, and the long- riders?
20044You have to leave us, and never come back?
20044You killed McGurk?
20044You remember what I said, Jim?
20044You saw what?
20044You say Dick Wilbur is dead?
20044You say you hate him?
20044You see how careful he''d been all those years while he was piling up his fortune? 20044 You see?
20044You see?
20044You two did n''t have a very agreeable time of it? 20044 You''re his son?"
20044You''ve never traveled alone, and yet you''d go up there and brave everything that comes for the sake of Pierre? 20044 You''ve taken holy orders, lad?"
20044Youngster, eh?
20044_ Let_ it happen? 20044 _ You''d_ bring Pierre anywhere?
20044A dance?"
20044A dance?"
20044A gun do n''t keep me from talking sense, does it?
20044Above, a sign said:"You only get married once; why do n''t you do it up right?"
20044After a little it came, and louder this time:"Pierre?"
20044After a while he was able to say, in a faint, small voice:"Are you very cold?"
20044After he lighted it he said:"Ready to talk yet, partner?"
20044Almost at once they caught the overtone of human joyousness, and they turned with strange smiles to each other, and it was"Pierre?"
20044Also, how explain the hunger of that stare?
20044Am I worthy of him?"
20044And Black Gandil answered:"We''ll match, eh?"
20044And Dick Wilbur?"
20044And Pierre le Rouge and Jacqueline?
20044And Pierre said:"What makes you think you know that trouble''s coming, Morgan?"
20044And have I anything to show for it except laughter?
20044And how I gave you your first gun?
20044And how I''ve given you the love of a blood- brother to take the place of the brother who died?
20044And how I''ve kept you in a clean and pure respect such as a man can only give once in his life-- and then only to his dearest friend?
20044And how I''ve never treated you otherwise than as a man?
20044And how I''ve stayed between you and danger a thousand times?
20044And she would n''t see reason even when you explained that you and I are like brothers?"
20044And she?"
20044And this girl with the yellow hair--""Why do you harp on her?"
20044And what appeal could affect Mac Hurley?
20044Are n''t you ash- sh- sh- shamed to talk like that?"
20044Are you afraid of him now?"
20044Are you going to leave your gun?"
20044Are you going to make me crawl to explain?
20044Are you mad at me for letting any one come into this place?"
20044Are you out with me?"
20044Are you prepared to meet him, father?"
20044Are you ready?"
20044Are you ready?"
20044Are you ready?"
20044Are you ready?"
20044Are you ready?"
20044Are you scared of me, boy?"
20044Are you turnin''into a woman, Jack?"
20044At last he propped himself on one elbow, shook a small, white- knuckled fist under the nose of Mary, and cried:"Then what would he do with you?"
20044Because after we''ve been together on such a night, how can we ever be apart again?"
20044Behind them, from the bed in the corner, a feeble voice called:"Who''s there?"
20044Besides, you''ve got to ask her for that dance, eh?"
20044Bud Mansie, his meager face transformed with wonder, said:"Fellers, what d''you know about it?
20044But about this glove?"
20044But before I go, tell me one thing: Have you left the cabin to search for Pierre le Rouge in another place?"
20044But even if Hurley was n''t enough, what about Carl Diaz?"
20044But he?
20044But how could it have happened?
20044But how could they tell from the passing of those ringing hoofs that Pierre, the novice, was dead, and Red Pierre was born?
20044But how''ll I get away with all that fluffy stuff, eh?"
20044But if Wilbur were not here, where had he gone?
20044But it will never end in spite of to- morrow, will it?
20044But she cried in a strong voice:"McGurk, d''you know me?"
20044By God, boy, no matter what I''ve done, is it sin for my son to come to me?
20044By the way, she must have left in rather a hurry to forget her glove, eh?"
20044Ca n''t beat that, can you?"
20044Ca n''t you trust me, Jack?"
20044Can I carry a fortune like that back to her?
20044Can I help you out by myself, or do you need the gang?"
20044Can you face that devil alone?"
20044Can you walk, Dick?"
20044Come up alone?"
20044D''ye hear?
20044D''you hear?"
20044D''you hear?"
20044D''you mean to say that you ai n''t heard of Carlos Diaz?"
20044D''you see?"
20044D''you think I''m yaller hound enough to sell my six?
20044D''you think a man that''s used to breathing in a whirlwind can get used to living in calm air?
20044D''you understand?"
20044Dad, if you put out Pierre what is left?
20044Dance?
20044Did she not ride under the very shadow of that frown with her two horses?
20044Did you know him?"
20044Did you look for the footprints?"
20044Do n''t you hear me?
20044Do n''t you see?
20044Do n''t you see?
20044Do you accept it, Pierre?"
20044Do you doubt it now, Mary?"
20044Do you know each other?
20044Do you think it was some one?"
20044Do you think my father and-- and Dick Wilbur would fear any man who could be hurt?
20044Dodging me, eh?
20044Does that fill your cup of water, Pierre, eh?"
20044Gandil, snarling from one side of his mouth, answered:"Where''s Patterson?"
20044Get me?"
20044God means us to be so happy together, does n''t He?
20044Had he not met the first and last test triumphantly?
20044Has n''t he returned?"
20044Have I?"
20044He answered with a ring of melancholy:"Friendship?
20044He blurted:"Tired?"
20044He continued in an almost kindly tone:"What would you do with a wild man like Red Pierre?
20044He cried:"By God, Pierre, what do you mean?"
20044He finished hoarsely:"What the hell''s this?"
20044He had driven McGurk from the ranges, and where would the penalty fall on those who were near and dear to him?
20044He hasn''t-- he has n''t changed-- Jack?"
20044He hunted his mind, and then:"One of the boys has angered you, Jack?"
20044He repeated:"Do you mean that I''m rude or rough with you, Jacqueline?"
20044He said after an uncomfortable moment of that silent staring:"Well, partner, there ai n''t a hell of a lot to get sore over, is there?
20044He said gently:"Are there none among all your lads, dear Father Victor, whom you find something more than imperfect machines?"
20044He said with wonder:"Have n''t you guessed?"
20044He said:"D''you think he''s just bein''driven around by chance?
20044He said:"Do you deny yourself even the pleasure of the lad''s company?
20044He said:"It''s because you do n''t want to be treated like a silly girl; eh, Jack?"
20044He said:"None of the rest of them had the guts even to bring me the message, eh?"
20044He said:"Of course, if you have enough--""I-- enough?"
20044He said:"Suppose I stop raising questions or making a fight, but give you my hand and call myself a member----""Of the family?
20044He was saying easily:"This is your dance, is n''t it?"
20044He went on:"But the dance, what of that?
20044He went on:"Would he wear you around his neck like a watch charm?"
20044He whispered:"You''re Red Pierre?"
20044He''d be a bad man in a mix, eh?"
20044Her tone changed, softened:"But what of me, Pierre?"
20044Here he was come to the crest of all the ranges; here he was come to the height and limit of his life, and what had he attained?
20044His tone was thrillingly gentle as he asked:"Was a woman with you?"
20044How can I come dressed like th- th- this?"
20044How can you care for a white- faced little fool like that?
20044How could he know, dumb brute, that what he asked only death could answer?
20044How could he tell that her voice was gone so gentle because she was seeing in her mind''s eye another face than his?
20044How else can he translate for them the truths of the Holy Spirit?
20044How long ago had that been?
20044How long is it going to take you to clear out of the country?"
20044How long will she be here?
20044How many men have told you that you are beautiful?"
20044I ask you, is that the sort of a woman that''s meant for Pierre?"
20044I ask you, will you hear him for me, and then pass on whether or not you try his game?"
20044I know you too well, and if you try the same thing on me again--""Well?"
20044I know_ that_ much about Red Pierre; but who does n''t?"
20044I''ve got a flask on the hip, Riley; what''s the chance of making a trade on this next dance?"
20044If all the men in the ranges ca n''t catch him, or make him budge an inch out of the way he''s picked, do you think you could stir him?"
20044If he went on with the wind, how long would it be before he reached a house?
20044If one of the men rides a bucking horse successfully, some one is sure to say:''Who taught you what you know, Bud-- McGurk?''
20044If there''s a thunder- cloud all over the sky, do you know where the lightning''s going to strike?"
20044If you did that I''d know it was because you were wantin''something, Pierre, eh?"
20044Instead of replying he said:"You''ve got a slicker on?"
20044Is it Branch?"
20044Is n''t it a little odd that you did n''t keep her here?"
20044Is she your match?
20044Is she your mate?"
20044It hurt him infinitely, and he called gently:"Jack, why are you weeping?"
20044It is death for Pierre?"
20044It may not be the cross-- I do n''t suppose you believe in superstition like that, Miss Brown?"
20044It might be interesting, Jack?"
20044It was a miracle that I escaped, and the miracle must have been worked by your cross; do you remember?"
20044It would come to him again, but now it was gone, and he murmured, smiling:"I wonder?"
20044It''s never happened, has it?"
20044Jack, how did you and-- What the hell''s your name, lad?"
20044Jack, why did you do it?"
20044Jacqueline turned in great excitement to Mary:"Did McGurk hear that sound down the gorge?"
20044Kind of a hard one, was n''t he?"
20044Lady, d''you think he even wants to get out of this life of his?
20044Legend?
20044Look at me now?
20044May I take him?"
20044Murder you?"
20044No?
20044Now, what''s the second part?"
20044Oh, wo n''t you go?"
20044On foot or on horseback?"
20044Otherwise, how could there be that singular calm in the steady eyes which looked across at him?
20044Out of the inner room the pleasant voice which he dreaded answered:"What''s up?"
20044Patterson has gone, and now you, and perhaps Jack-- well, this is good- by, Dick?"
20044Patterson?
20044Phil Branch had not spoken, as usual, but now he repeated, with rapt, far- off eyes:"''Hurley was hurt in the wrist and Diaz died?''
20044Pierre said gravely:"Why am I under guard?"
20044Pierre, are you playing a game with me?"
20044Pierre, to make me happy, will you go?
20044Pierre, what has happened?
20044Riley?
20044Safe?
20044Say, partner, you ai n''t meanin''to say that you do n''t know who Hurley is?"
20044Shall I read on?"
20044Shall we not carry it to him?
20044She cried again:"Who''s there?"
20044She cried:"What will you have of me?"
20044She cringed at the thought, for what was she that a man should die in her service?
20044She dared not question him in that mood, so she ventured again:"The old boy shooting left- handed-- didn''t he even fan the wind near you?"
20044She ran to him with a cry of dismay:"Pierre, what''s wrong with me?"
20044She said at length:"Would a night like this stop Pierre-- or McGurk?"
20044She said:"Is n''t there anything that will keep you from going?"
20044She said:"Pierre, have you forgotten that when you were only a boy you stood up to McGurk and drew blood from him?
20044She said:"You ca n''t budge the tree?"
20044She stepped back, asking:"Well?"
20044She turned at the door and snapped back:"You?
20044She ventured cautiously, after seeing that he was eating with appetite:"How does the pin look?"
20044She waited a moment and then queried with exaggerated impudence:"Well?"
20044She was too much moved to speak for a moment, and then:"You come to me in spite of that?
20044She went on:"And this McGurk-- what do you mean when you say that Pierre is on his trail?"
20044She would n''t listen-- even when you talked to her like this?"
20044She''s not alone?"
20044Shoot?
20044So old Mart Ryder has come down to this, eh?
20044Some one touched his arm, and a voice, many voices, beset him:"How''s the chances for a dance with the girl, partner?"
20044Suppose we camp here, eat, get a bit of sleep, and then start again?"
20044Take back a gamblin''debt?"
20044Take you-- to Pierre?"
20044Tell me at least what came to Dick Wilbur?"
20044Tell me which way she rode?
20044Tell me, are you angry?"
20044Tell me, what is McGurk?"
20044Tell me, why is it that you come so stealthily to see me and run away as soon as any one else appears?"
20044Tell me: what''ll you do with him?"
20044That was the meaning, then, of those silences that had come between them?
20044That''s queer, is n''t it?
20044The boy asked in astonishment:"Would you not have me go, Father?"
20044The first to break the long silence was Jim Boone, with"Who brings in the wood?"
20044The gambler blurted:"What''s happening to you, kid?"
20044The little cross under your neck?"
20044The money for that corner plot where the grass grew first in the spring of the year-- where was he to find it?
20044The other answered:"I have seen a wonderful body-- but the mind, Father Victor?"
20044The other twisted her hands together, moaning:"And I have followed him, even to the place where he keeps his-- woman?
20044The other two looked askance at him, and the owner of the game growled:"Gimme room for the coins, stranger, will you?"
20044The question seemed to infuriate young Jack, who cried:"Ai n''t that a fool way of talkin''?
20044The she gripped at the butt of her gun, an habitual trick when she was very angry, and cried:"Do I have to sit here and let you call me-- that?
20044The signal?
20044Then he said through set teeth:"So you come up here trailin''_ him_ after you, eh?"
20044Then he said:"This girl-- what did you call her?"
20044Then the voice said sharply:"Did Wilbur lie to me?"
20044Then you''ll come out and have supper with us, Jack?"
20044There ai n''t no disgrace in that; eh, pals?"
20044There was an ominous sound from Pierre:"Do you let a thing like that happen in this country?"
20044There''s a charm over him, do n''t you see?"
20044They ran from the room together, and as they passed through the room below Wilbur called after them:"The dance?"
20044This Jack of ours?"
20044To begin with-- she''s rather pleasant to look at, do n''t you think?"
20044To- morrow----""To- morrow, Pierre?"
20044Too long, and I''ll hear no more of it, understand?"
20044Understand?"
20044Understand?"
20044Was it McGurk, Pierre?"
20044Was it to track down Pierre?
20044Was not he McGurk, and was not this a man whom he had already once shot down?
20044Was she not armed?
20044We''ll go back and put on our masks again, and-- hush, what''s there?"
20044We''ll make our fire just inside the trees and carry water up from the river, eh?"
20044We''re the last of the gang?"
20044What could she do wandering by herself?
20044What debt have you to repay?"
20044What had she lost?
20044What happened?"
20044What harm could come to her?
20044What harm is there in being often with the lad?"
20044What has he done to deserve it, Mary?"
20044What have I done?
20044What have I said?"
20044What is it?"
20044What is it?"
20044What is it?"
20044What is it?"
20044What is your name?"
20044What mattered that imaginary figure of moving white?
20044What need was there to speak?
20044What old man has written to you, Pierre?"
20044What place was there in Red Pierre for solemn qualms of conscience?
20044What right have I here?
20044What shall I sing for you now, Pierre?"
20044What shall I take?"
20044What sin?"
20044What was McGurk?
20044What was the man for whom Pierre hunted?
20044What will men say when they see McGurk with an empty holster?"
20044What will you lay ag''in''it?"
20044What''ll you do to save him now?
20044What''s that again?"
20044What''s that?"
20044What''s the matter, kid; you''ve met McGurk?"
20044What''s the use of fighting any longer?
20044What''s up, Dick?"
20044What''s up?"
20044What''s wrong?"
20044What, then, was left for her?
20044When I reach ten we fire?"
20044When he spoke it was only to say:"Did she stay long?"
20044Where''s the wound?"
20044Which is it, Pierre?"
20044Which is it?
20044Which way did she ride-- up or down the valley?"
20044Which way did they ride?"
20044Who calls him a Jonah?"
20044Who else will bet?"
20044Who''ll stake me to a drink?"
20044Who''ll stop him?
20044Who''s next?"
20044Who''s next?"
20044Who''s that beside you?
20044Who''s the man you want us to put out?"
20044Who''s your friend?"
20044Who?"
20044Why are you afraid, Jack?"
20044Why are you smiling?"
20044Why do n''t you speak?
20044Why had this scourge of the mountain- desert spared her?
20044Why?
20044Why?"
20044Will you go East with me, and home?
20044Will you go back?"
20044Will you ride home with us?"
20044Will you see that he goes?"
20044Will you sing again?"
20044Will you take that chance and come with me?"
20044Will you tell me what''s between you, Pierre?
20044Without the cross to bring me luck, how could I meet him?
20044Without turning her head she answered:"Do you want to know why?"
20044You do n''t figure you''re a mate for McGurk, do you?"
20044You do n''t mind if I go on sleeping?
20044You do n''t mind me being frank, do you, Pierre?"
20044You do n''t trust the power of the cross?"
20044You do n''t?
20044You know it?
20044You remember how the tree crushed me down into the snow?
20044You see that?
20044You see what you''ve done?
20044You shall have every advantage, you see?
20044You trust all to the cross, eh, Pierre?
20044repeated Pierre stupidly; then:"And you knew she would be going out to him when she left this house?"
26244Ah yes; but if it drives the family out- of- doors?
26244And if she consented to do so, could I be so selfish as to exact such sacrifice? 26244 And mother-- what is the matter with her?
26244And that is your badge-- the pine- tree?
26244And why? 26244 And yet who would believe that even drink could inflame white men to such devil''s work?
26244And you?
26244Another inspector?
26244Anybody hurt?
26244Are all the other restaurants in the village like this?
26244Are n''t scientific men rather divided about it?
26244Are n''t you afraid to start out on such a trip alone-- I mean, do n''t you dread it?
26244Are you a doctor?
26244Are you a ranger, too?
26244Are you so greedy that nothing will stop you?
26244Are you sure he''s been here?
26244Are you tired? 26244 Been hunting?"
26244But are they State forests and State game? 26244 But my father-- what became of him?
26244But suppose you yourself get sick?
26244But surely my father had nothing to do with this?
26244But there are bears and other wild things, are there not?
26244But what does that matter when I''m in the company of such charming ladies?
26244But will she obey? 26244 But you are ill?"
26244But you are not ill?
26244But you knew that you were going into danger?
26244But you''ll give me the names which Dunn gave you?
26244But your daughter? 26244 Ca n''t I take your place?"
26244Ca n''t you serve things better than this? 26244 Can I be of use-- do you need me?
26244Can I see her?
26244Can it be that the old town, the town of my childhood, was of this character-- so sordid, so vulgar?
26244Come back to see how yore ma was, I reckon? 26244 Did he get through?"
26244Did n''t you know the name of the town?
26244Did you know old man Dunn, of Deer Creek, had committed suicide?
26244Did you see Lize and my girl?
26244Did you?
26244Do I? 26244 Do n''t happen to have a picture of the girl, do you?"
26244Do n''t that letter tell you? 26244 Do n''t you intend to marry her?"
26244Do n''t you know a dog''s sure to carry the poison in his hair? 26244 Do we owe these happy reforms to you?"
26244Do you expect to do this always?
26244Do you know who that was?
26244Do you like it so much?
26244Do you like the East better than the West?
26244Do you live alone?
26244Do you mean he shot them?
26244Do you own this saloon?
26244Do you suppose it was as bad ten years ago?
26244Do you_ know_ that?
26244Doctor, you''ll report as you go by?
26244Does he know who burned them sheep- herders?
26244Does she?
26244For instance, who is this assistant he''s got? 26244 Has n''t he any relatives in the country?"
26244Has the place''changed hands?''
26244Have n''t you any slicker?
26244Have you any suspicion, Ross?
26244Have you been vaccinated?
26244He ca n''t be ill, can he?
26244He''s dead, is he?
26244Hear him shout?
26244Hello Joe, what luck?
26244How about that?
26244How about this, Gregg?
26244How are you doctor? 26244 How can you find your way?"
26244How could you do it?
26244How did it all end? 26244 How did you come to be a ranger-- what does it mean?
26244How did you find things in the valley?
26244How did you get here?
26244How did you learn it?
26244How do you expect to take care of your sheep a thousand feet higher than this?
26244How do you feel yourself?
26244How do you happen to be reduced to herding sheep? 26244 How do you know?"
26244How does he seem?
26244How far away are you?
26244How happens it you''re here?
26244How is he?
26244How is she?
26244How is the Basque?
26244How is your mother?
26244How is your mother?
26244How''d you sleep last night?
26244How''s this?
26244How_ is_ the old man?
26244I hope the price has not gone up?
26244I hope, Hugh, you were not in one of your talking moods?
26244I suppose Gregg paid your fine?
26244I wonder if those fellows are after those sheep?
26244I''m glad you understand me, and you_ will_ let me know if I can help you, wo n''t you?
26244I''m not worryin'',she replied;"but what does that little whelp mean by talking to me like that?
26244I''m trying to do that-- I mean, to stop work; but she says,''What can we do to earn a living?''
26244If I did, would I show it to you?
26244In the midst of such a fight as this, how can he give time or thought to me?
26244In what essential does it differ from the affair over on the Red Desert?
26244In what way? 26244 In what way?"
26244In what way?
26244Is Cavanagh, the ranger, in town?
26244Is it high?
26244Is it the marshal?
26244Is that right?
26244Is that so?
26244Is that the worst they say of her? 26244 Is that you, Ross?
26244Is this little Lee Virginy?
26244It is, is n''t it?
26244It''s Mr. Sifton, is n''t it?
26244Know where his camp is?
26244Lung trouble?
26244Me? 26244 Mother,"she said,"do n''t you know me?"
26244Mr. Redfield, ca n''t you send a real doctor? 26244 Not that dog you fed just now?"
26244Now what''s it all about? 26244 Of what use is it?"
26244One o''those Eastern tourists, I reckon?
26244Redfield tells me you are a friend of Mr. Cavanagh''s; did you know that he had resigned?
26244Shall we walk?
26244She has sent me money-- she has been kind to me-- what am I to do? 26244 Sneaked, has he?"
26244Suppose it is true?
26244Sure you can spare it?
26244That''ll help some,he exclaimed;"but who''s the man?"
26244The old man did n''t take the horse, eh? 26244 Then it was n''t smallpox?"
26244There will be no trouble for an hour or two, but meanwhile what is to be done? 26244 There''s a reward offered for the arrest of these men, is there not?"
26244They can be destroyed-- and the flies, too, ca n''t they?
26244This seems a long way from that dinner at Redfield''s, does n''t it?
26244Was Ballard in it?
26244Was everything as dirty-- as mean? 26244 We were talking old times''before the war,''and you know it never tires veterans to run over their ancient campaigns-- does it, Lee Virginia?"
26244Well, have n''t you?
26244Well, how about it?
26244Well, now, who''s going to convict them? 26244 Well, sir, what''s all this row?
26244Were you wearing the same clothes you''ve got on?
26244What ailed the man?
26244What am I to do? 26244 What am I to do?
26244What are they doing on the forest, anyhow?
26244What are you doing?
26244What are you going to do?
26244What are you two women doing here? 26244 What business is it of Ross Cavanagh''s?"
26244What call has he to interfere? 26244 What can we do?"
26244What can you do, child?
26244What did Dunn tell you?
26244What did the doctor say?
26244What do you do it for?
26244What do you do?
26244What do you mean by the New West?
26244What do you mean by the prejudice against you?
26244What do you mean by''the war''?
26244What do you mean? 26244 What do you mean?"
26244What do you mean?
26244What do you want?
26244What does he need?
26244What for?
26244What for?
26244What happened to that old hobo I sent up?
26244What if mother should die?
26244What is the matter, doctor?
26244What is the use of shouting a judgment against a man like Cavanagh before you know the facts? 26244 What is your plan?"
26244What kind of man did this thing? 26244 What makes you think so?"
26244What makes you think that?
26244What names did he give you?
26244What the devil did you go into this kind of deal for? 26244 What time is it?"
26244What was it all about? 26244 What was the shooting?"
26244What will we do with the sheep?
26244What''s doing in the town?
26244What''s the matter, Swenson? 26244 What''s the meaning of this invasion of my forest?"
26244What?
26244When did he visit you?
26244When did you reach town?
26244When do you go back to the mountains?
26244When does your parole end?
26244When will you come again?
26244Where are the law- abiding citizens of the town?
26244Where are you going?
26244Where are you?
26244Where did my mother meet my father? 26244 Where do you live?"
26244Where does she live?
26244Where else will I find such scenes as this?
26244Where in all the lowlands could such splendors shine? 26244 Where is he?"
26244Where would you go if you broke camp-- back to the East?
26244Who cooks for you?
26244Who is it, please?
26244Who is the man with him?
26244Who is this old herder?
26244Who made the charge?
26244Who says he''s alive?
26244Who told you so?
26244Who were they?
26244Who would kill these poor sheep- herders but cattle- men warring for the grass on which we stand?
26244Who''s at the cash?
26244Who''s out there?
26244Who''s there?
26244Who_ was_ my mother?
26244Why are you leaving Cavanagh to play it alone in there?
26244Why did he resign?
26244Why do n''t they try to put it out?
26244Why do you say that?
26244Why does n''t the doctor return for his dinner?
26244Why has he not written to me,she asked herself,"and why should he have gone away without a word of greeting, explanation, or good- bye?
26244Why not? 26244 Why not?"
26244Why put her through useless suffering and shame? 26244 Why should Ross do such a foolish thing?
26244Why should even Lize be made to suffer? 26244 Why, what''s new?"
26244Why, you remember the rustler war? 26244 Will this be made the theme for caustic comment in the Eastern press for a day, and then be forgotten?"
26244Will this deed go unpunished, like the rest?
26244Wo n''t the marshal take the men off his hands?
26244Wo n''t you join me?
26244Wo n''t you sit at our table again?
26244Would a doctor come?
26244Would any woman, for love of me, come to such a hearthstone?
26244Would my objection have any weight?
26244Would you accept the supervisorship of the Washakie Forest?
26244Would you have mercy on me if I were?
26244You are a little sweet on the girl, eh?
26244You find great changes here?
26244You find us horribly uncivilized after ten years''absence?
26244You knew you were breaking the laws, did n''t you?
26244You must have been very young?
26244You say you burned the tent and all the bedding?
26244You would n''t have them go about in sullen stealth, would you? 26244 Your guide insists he had no hand in killing the ram?"
26244_ Are_ you telling me the truth?
26244A half- dozen men were standing before the counter talking with Lize, but Lee pushed in to inquire with white, inquiring face:"What is it all about?
26244After a pause Sam called,"Are you there, son?"
26244Aloud she said:"His resignation comes just in time, does n''t it?
26244And if any of those fellows persecute you, you''ll tell me, wo n''t you?
26244And, by the way, suppose you let me take Lee Virginia home with me?
26244Are ye back fer to stay?"
26244Are you Ross Cavanagh?"
26244Are you all right?"
26244Are you related to one of these rangers?"
26244Are you sure it''s smallpox?"
26244Are you sweet on the girl?"
26244As she did not speak, he asked:"What did you expect to do out here?"
26244As she thanked him without enthusiasm, he added:"How is she to- night?"
26244As soon as Redfield replied, he burst forth in question:"Is it true that the chief is out?"
26244At last he spoke:"Where have you been all these years?"
26244At last she said, with a touch of mockery in her tone:"You like Ross Cavanagh almost as well as I do myself, do n''t you?"
26244Besides, what right have we to stand in the way of a community''s growth?
26244But do you feel your relationship to her?
26244But how can I get her to rest and to diet?
26244But what can I do?
26244But what is a feller to do?
26244But who are you, may I ask?
26244By whom?
26244By- the- way, who is your patient?"
26244Ca n''t they take your nursing job?"
26244Ca n''t you come down and see us?
26244Ca n''t you come?"
26244Ca n''t you persuade her to do so?"
26244Can you tell me how far it is to Ambro''s camp?"
26244Catching sight of Swenson and Lize on the bridge, he asked:"Who are those people?
26244Cavanagh?"
26244Cavanagh?"
26244Cavanagh?"
26244Could anything change the leopard West into the tameness and serenity of the ox?
26244Could one of them be Lee Virginia?
26244Could this enormity be committed under any other civilized flag?
26244Did he do it?"
26244Did he tell you who the murderers are?"
26244Did n''t turn up at your station, did he?"
26244Did she reach you by telephone to- night?"
26244Did the bugs eat you last night?"
26244District Supervisor would be better, but can I hope to secure such a position?"
26244Do n''t tell me you''re already married?"
26244Do n''t you see?"
26244Do n''t you think it helped?"
26244Do you know our business is increasing wonderfully?
26244Do you know that?"
26244Do you promise?"
26244Do you realize it?"
26244Do you want me to come down?
26244Does n''t she seem paler and weaker to you?"
26244Does n''t that argue some unusual quality?
26244For what reason?
26244Found her pretty porely, did n''t ye?"
26244Great snakes, how you have opened out!--You''re the living image of your dad.--What started you back?
26244Has he done so?"
26244Have any arrests been made?"
26244Have you thought that Gregg might have had a hand in this affair?
26244He got on the wrong side of the rustler line- up-- you know all about that, I reckon?
26244He used to sober down when he got where you was; but my-- good God!--weren''t they a pair to draw to?
26244He was a beardless youth of small experience and no great courage, and as he approached with hesitant feet he asked:"Are you sure it''s smallpox?"
26244He was n''t a bad man, was he?"
26244He''s a little tiger, is n''t he?
26244Her glowing cheeks, her pretty dress, made her a shining mark, and the men began at once to improve their opportunity by asking,"Where''s Lize?"
26244His voice, filled with emotion, touched Redfield, and he said:"Ca n''t I go to the relief of the herder?"
26244How about it?"
26244How about it?"
26244How can I leave this high world in which these wonders come and go?
26244How could she be the issue of Edward and Eliza Wetherford?
26244How could they, with you in uniform and in my company?"
26244How dared creatures of this vile type use words of contempt against Ross Cavanagh?
26244How did you happen to come?"
26244How far is it to the nearest doctor?"
26244How many women do we know who are capable of such loyalty?
26244How much is the damage?"
26244How will I stand that kind of air?
26244I am wasting my time here in these hills; but what else can I do?"
26244I do n''t know why he has resigned, but I''m sure--""Has he resigned?"
26244I know what you''re thinking about-- you''re saying to yourself,''Well, here''s a nice father- in- law?''
26244I want to ask how your mother is?"
26244I wonder how long you''ve been left here alone?"
26244If I had a son, a fine young feller like that girl is, do you suppose I''d let him load himself up with an old soak like me?
26244In the presence of such irrefutable testimony, who shall deny the persistence and the reality of love?
26244Is it true that Ross is down?"
26244Is n''t that so, Lee Virginia?"
26244Is that true?"
26244Is there any other State in this nation where the roping of sheep- herders and the wholesale butchery of sheep would be permitted?
26244Is this so?
26244Is this true?
26244Lee Virginia dimly recalled such a family, and asked:"Where do you live?"
26244Lee Virginia, with an understanding of what the ranger had endured, asked:"Ca n''t I get you something to eat?
26244May I tell him what you''ve told me?
26244Now I want to know whether you intend to marry her or whether you''re just playing with her?"
26244Perhaps you remember enough about the business to know that an unbranded yearling calf without its mother is called a maverick?"
26244Prophesied I''d fall down and stay?
26244Redfield asked:"Who''s responsible for this-- your new daughter?"
26244She perceived in the ranger the man of the new order, and with this in her mind she said:"You do n''t belong here?
26244She said I was about all in, did n''t she?
26244She went on, steadily:"Do n''t you get very lonely?"
26244Standing over the wasted body of his patient, he asked again:"Why let even Lize know?
26244Supervisor?"
26244Suppose I am promoted to Forest Supervisor?
26244Suppose the new life_ is_ less picturesque than the old?
26244Taken by surprise, he stammered:"I might; but am I the man?"
26244The attendant asked, with village bluntness:"It_ was_ Ross, was n''t it?"
26244The people of the Forks-- some of them, at least-- consider him a traitor, and regard you as the daughter of a renegade, but what does it matter?
26244The soldiers came, did n''t they?"
26244The two men nodded in token of the introduction, and the deputy went on:"You remember that old cuss that used to work for Gregg?"
26244Then waving his hand toward the others, he said:"Boys, just ride off a little piece, will you?"
26244Then where will we be?"
26244These the large- souled"Western founders of empire"?
26244They''re all feeling gay over this change in the forestry head; but see here, do n''t you want to get out for a ride?
26244To betray a soul, to poison a young life, is this not the unforgivable crime?
26244Want some?"
26244Was it not enough that Virginia''s mother should be a slattern and a termagant?
26244Was it possible that one so gentle should have taken part in this deed?
26244Was the leader a man like Ballard?
26244Were the houses then as full of flies and smells?"
26244Were these"the chivalrous short- grass knights"she had heard so much about?
26244What I want to know is this: Do you leave her as good as you found her?
26244What are you doing here, anyway?
26244What are you doing up here in this wilderness?"
26244What assurance have I that they will ever be punished?"
26244What could he say?
26244What could she do with elemental savagery of this sort?
26244What day?"
26244What do you say to that?"
26244What do you say to this?
26244What do you think became of him?"
26244What do you think of your chief now?"
26244What else could they do in talking to men who knew nothing but cows?
26244What has happened?"
26244What in the name of God is this country coming to?"
26244What interest would he have in this man Edwards, whom you call a tramp?
26244What is his motive?
26244What is it all to you?"
26244What made you mention him?"
26244What makes them so?
26244What makes you think that?"
26244What meant the tremor in his voice?
26244What shall I do with it?"
26244What was it?
26244What was the meaning of his scared and sorrowful glance?
26244What were they fighting about?"
26244What you going to do-- hold your men here all night?"
26244What''s he going to do?"
26244What''s the matter?
26244What''s the trouble?"
26244What''s the use of it?
26244What''s your charge against these men?"
26244What''s your plan?
26244When did you first know what had been done?"
26244Where did she learn to hold a gun like that?"
26244Where''s Mike?"
26244Where''s that grub chart o''mine?"
26244Who are you, and what can I do for you?"
26244Who gives you all the authority?"
26244Who is she?"
26244Who''s there?"
26244Whose heads?"
26244Why did he let me come to the door?
26244Why did n''t he report it?
26244Why did n''t he say boiled live lobsters and champagne?
26244Why did n''t he send word by him?
26244Why did n''t you shoot him?"
26244Why do n''t you go back to the valley?"
26244Why do n''t you have the doctor come down here?"
26244Why do n''t you let me bring him down?
26244Why do n''t you obey me?
26244Why do n''t you stand up for the code like a sport?"
26244Why do n''t you talk the problem over with the Supervisor?"
26244Why do you stay here?"
26244Why not arrange it so you can pitch your President out the minute he goes wrong?
26244Why not come to Sulphur City, which is almost entirely of the new spirit?"
26244Why not go back with me?"
26244Why not resign and go East, taking the girl with him?
26244Why should it inhere in ignorant, brutal plainsmen any more than in ignorant, brutal factory hands?
26244Why should one so peacefully employed at such a time and in such a place wear the look of a hunted deer?
26244Why wring her heart by permitting her to see this wreck of what was once her pride?"
26244Why?"
26244Will it be a new day to the State, or is it to be the same old round of savagery?"
26244Will you come?"
26244Will you do that?"
26244Will you go?"
26244Will you sit down?"
26244Will you venture it?"
26244Wo n''t you come in and see her?"
26244Wo n''t you come out for a spin this minute?"
26244Would any other Government intermingle so foolishly, so childishly its State and Federal authority as to permit such diabolism?
26244Would they think the dago worth it?"
26244Would you like me to talk with him?"
26244Would you like some coffee?"
26244Would you like to go?"
26244You believe I''m telling the truth, do n''t you?"
26244You believe me, do n''t you?"
26244You did n''t_ handle_ the cuss?"
26244You knew what the game laws was, did n''t you?
26244You must not marry her, Ross; and if you can not, what will you do?
26244You say there were three bodies?"
26244You understand me, do n''t you?"
26244You''ll write me the result of the examination, wo n''t you?"
26244You''re an educated man-- do you intend to marry her?"
26244You''re not coming in?"
26244You_ are_ going, are you not?"
26244ai n''t there some way of takin''my meals out in the barn?
26244are_ you_ Ed Wetherford?"
26244said he,"I wonder what this pretty maiden means?"
26244would you like to lie down before dinner?"
30485And Major King?
30485And how are things at the post?
30485And how fares the bandit king this morning?
30485And love, maybe?
30485And the pe- apers,said he, in melodramatic whisper,"were they the thieves''muster roll?"
30485And the purpose of this visit, sir?
30485And then you found her?
30485Are they all rustlers up there in the settlement? 30485 Are you sure about that, Banjo?"
30485Are you two aimin''to go to the post after help?
30485Busted his right arm all to pieces, they tell me?
30485But how am I going to get inside, Maggie, with that sentry at the door?
30485But if Chadron brought that terrible man in here, why should the horrible creature turn against him?
30485But surely, Alan, you''ll not accept it?
30485By whose authority do you make this demand?
30485Can he play that battery of instruments?
30485Can you locate them in the night?
30485Can you ride?
30485Can you shoot?
30485Could n''t it be settled without all this fighting and killing?
30485Dancing all the way?
30485Did I tell you about Nola?
30485Did Nola come back with you?
30485Did Nola tell you about the fight they had with him?
30485Did he-- did he-- kill anybody here?
30485Did n''t I tell you never to come here? 30485 Did she-- put her arms around your neck that way_ many_ times while you were carrying her home?"
30485Did you ever see him?
30485Did you go over to him to see if he was finished, or just creased?
30485Did you hear something?
30485Did you lose this, lady?
30485Do I git any money, or do n''t I?
30485Do n''t you know?
30485Do they let you go into his room?
30485Do they?
30485Do you expect Saul he''ll come back here with them soldiers he went after?
30485Do you know what it is?
30485Do you see them? 30485 Do you suppose there''s nothing between him and Nola?"
30485Do you think I''ve sinned past forgiveness because I-- because-- I love him?
30485Do you think they''ll go away and let us come out after a while?
30485Do you think your son--?
30485Do you want it known that I was forced to leave your house by the window?
30485Does Major King''s interdiction extend to the commissary? 30485 Five hundred?"
30485Flashed by the window?
30485For you, Major King?
30485Frances here?
30485Gittin''peticlar of your company, ai n''t you?
30485Gone up the river?
30485Has Mrs. Chadron been overfeeding you while I was gone? 30485 Have any of the rustlers been killed?"
30485Have you got a horse?
30485Have you heard the news from Meander?
30485Here, put your hand on his heart-- do you feel it? 30485 How can you ask such a thing of_ me?_ Throw it away, it''s no concern of yours-- the memorandum of a cattle thief!"
30485How did Major King know that Mr. Macdonald had been brought here? 30485 How did she do it-- not break him like a bronco- buster?"
30485How did you find her? 30485 How do I know who''s runnin''the law in this dang country now?
30485How fur apart do they lay?
30485How fur was you off from him, Mark?
30485How long have they been gone?
30485How many are there besides the five I saw?
30485How much force are you authorized to use?
30485How much''re you willin''to go?
30485How''s Alan by now?
30485How?
30485I began it, Major King? 30485 I had the honor of meeting Miss Landcraft last night at the masquerade given by Miss Chadron--""How was that, sir?
30485I know he did; but what''s happening?
30485I wonder what''s the matter? 30485 I wonder where he''s been all summer?
30485I''ll bind a cold towel around it, dear; that always used to ease it, you remember?
30485I?
30485If he''s going to die, Frances, ca n''t I share him with you till the end-- can''t I have just a little share in the care of him here with you?
30485Is he-- alive?
30485Is he-- dead?
30485Is he-- what does he do?
30485Is it nesters ag''in?
30485Is it possible?
30485Is n''t this an outrage, this high- handed business of Major King''s?
30485Is there no doctor with your detachment?
30485Is there such a man as Mark Thorn?
30485It is closed to me-- did you know?
30485It''s a state of war, I tell you, colonel; you''re free to use your troops in a state of war, ai n''t you? 30485 Like the guardsmen of old England, Or the beaux sabreurs of France--"that''s an old border song, did you ever hear it?"
30485Mac, did you ever hear tell of a feller named Mark Thorn?
30485Macdonald?
30485Maybe you call that kind of skulkin''livin''up to your big name?
30485Nominated me? 30485 Oh, he_ is_ a man of consequence, then?"
30485Oh, it''s you, is it?
30485Oh, one party or the other began it, and the other indorsed you, for-- oh, it''s--"For what, Frances?
30485Oh, why did n''t you tell me?
30485So they got troops, did they?
30485Some of them have wives and children, have n''t they?
30485Talk till you''re empty, you old fool, and who''ll believe you? 30485 That colonel girl she''s a up- setter, ai n''t she?"
30485That feller''s opened a ditch from the river up there on my land and begun to_ irrigate!_"Irrigatin'', huh?
30485That''ll kind of spile him, wo n''t it?
30485The señor boss?
30485The soldiers?
30485Then it has come back to you?
30485Then why do n''t you do the job yourselves,''stead of callin''a peaceable man away from his ranchin''?
30485Then why-- why are you leaving?
30485Then why--?
30485They held their conventions there last week to nominate county officers, and what do you think? 30485 They''ll be unmasking at midnight?"
30485Twenty of them, their names are here, and some scattered in between that I have n''t put down, to be picked up as they fall in handy, see?
30485Well, sir?
30485Well, what if I did?
30485What are the words-- do you remember them?
30485What authority have you got to come into my house givin''orders?
30485What could he have said?
30485What did you mean by that? 30485 What do you know about it?"
30485What do you mean, Banjo? 30485 What do you want?"
30485What else?
30485What fresh tyranny is he guilty of?
30485What good would he be to me arrested, King? 30485 What has the sheriff and the rest of you done to restore order?"
30485What in the hell do you mean by comin''around here?
30485What in the hell do you mean?
30485What in the hell''re you up to now?
30485What is it, Banjo?
30485What is it? 30485 What was it?"
30485What was that flashed a- past the winder like a streak a minute ago?
30485What''re you prowlin''down here around my place for?
30485What''s all this fool gab got to do with business?
30485What''s happened to Nola?
30485What''s happened?
30485What''s up, Macdonald-- where''re you off to?
30485What''s up?
30485What''s your scheme for drawin''that feller into firin''on your men?
30485What? 30485 When did it happen?"
30485When do you expect Mr. Chadron home?
30485Where are they?
30485Where are you goin'', Banjo, with the country riled up this way, and you li''ble to be shot down any place by them rustlers?
30485Where did it happen at?
30485Where did you get that?
30485Where has he gone?
30485Where is she?
30485Where was you aimin''to go so early?
30485Where''s he at?
30485Which news?
30485Which?
30485Which?
30485Who are you?
30485Who can tell?
30485Who did it-- how did it happen? 30485 Who in the hell are you?"
30485Who is he?
30485Who is he?
30485Who is that dancing with Frances Landcraft?
30485Who was it? 30485 Who was tellin''you about him-- who said he was the man?"
30485Who''ll put a hand on you in this country unless we give the word?
30485Who''s there?
30485Why did n''t you come back when we called you-- both of you?
30485Why do you want me to leave him?
30485Why should n''t it be before I leave-- tonight, within the hour?
30485Why should you come to ask? 30485 Why should you go over that again?
30485Why should you need anybody to plead for you if there''s no truth in their charges? 30485 Why, bless your heart, you do n''t aim to tell me you rode all the way from the post in the night by yourself?"
30485Why, he brought Nola home-- didn''t you know that, Saul? 30485 Will I have to jerk you away from that door by the hair of the head?
30485Will he die?
30485Will you ask the United States government to march troops here to save your hired assassins? 30485 Will you hand it to him the next time you meet him?"
30485Will you let me explain?
30485Will you please open the gate?
30485Will you shame us both? 30485 Will you take it to him?"
30485Would you mind handing it to him, and explaining how it came into my hands?
30485You ai n''t got-- nothing--?
30485You got--_him?_Chadron lifted himself from his chair on his bent legs in the excitement of the news.
30485You have n''t found Nola?
30485You have taken too much-- you have taken--"What?
30485You know how it happened-- who did it?
30485You mean that he''d pretend a rescue and bring her back, just to make sympathy for himself and his side of this trouble?
30485You will?
30485You''ll not mind the kitchen? 30485 You''ve played hell now, ai n''t you?
30485Ai n''t it terrible?"
30485Am I going to be allowed to eat?"
30485And why had Major King ordered her, virtually under arrest, to Alamito Ranch, instead of sending her in disgrace to the post?
30485Are you going?"
30485Are you ready?"
30485But what''re you goin''to do away out there amongst strangers?"
30485CHAPTER V IF HE WAS A GENTLEMAN"Do n''t you think we''d better drop it now, Frances, and be good?"
30485CHAPTER XVI DANGER AND DIGNITY"Did you carry her that way all the way home?"
30485CHAPTER XXIV BANJO FACES INTO THE WEST"You do n''t tell me?
30485Can you tell me, then-- will you tell me-- is Alan Macdonald-- dead?"
30485Did she give you chili?"
30485Did you cut your finger?"
30485Did you have the effrontery to force yourself into a company which despises you, at the risk of your life and the decorum of the assemblage?"
30485Do n''t you know them rustlers is shootin''up the country ever''which way all around here?
30485Do you forget you are_ my affianced wife?_""That is ended-- you are free!"
30485Do you know Alan Macdonald, and what his charitable purpose may be?"
30485Do you know him?"
30485Do you know, Alan, the whole story about that horrible old man Thorn is in the eastern papers?"
30485Do you know?"
30485Do you mean to tell me the whole damn thing''s goin''to fizzle out this way, King?
30485Do you suppose Mrs. Mathews would let me help her over at the mission-- if I went to her meek and humble and asked her?"
30485Have n''t they told you fool women the straight of it yet?
30485He sent his orders back by Doctor Shirley-- isn''t it a petty piece of business?"
30485He''s in love with you, Nola-- didn''t you hear him sigh?"
30485How many does that make for me, talkin''about nerve, how many?
30485I tell you he was--""How did you do it?"
30485If I knew what?"
30485Is it a go?"
30485Is there anybody here that can guide me?"
30485It''s the saddest one you play-- one that I could n''t stand one time-- do you remember?"
30485Murder?
30485Now, what do you think of that?"
30485Oh, what''m I tellin''you?
30485Perhaps when you are married to Mr. Macdonald you will have room in your kitchen for me?"
30485That there little ten- cent- size major he''d''a''stopped you if he''d''a''known you was goin'', do n''t you suppose?"
30485Then quickly:"Which way did he go, do you know?"
30485There is work for a man like you in this life; why are you wasting it here?"
30485They''ve nominated you for something, for-- for_ what_ do you suppose?"
30485Were they not there as beggars to receive bounty from the government''s hand?
30485What are you riding the road so early for, all armed and suspicious, if you''re such honest men?"
30485What do you say, Major King?
30485What is a man like you doing in this wild place, wasting his life in a land where he is n''t wanted?"
30485What is his life to you?"
30485What kind of a looking man is he?"
30485What''s been happening at Meander?"
30485What''s the occasion of this change in the wind?
30485When he recovers, he may turn to you-- who can tell?"
30485Where else, sir-- who?"
30485Where''s Miss Landcraft?
30485Where''s your horse?"
30485Who''s nominated me?"
30485Why do n''t you tell me, Frances?"
30485Why not leave it, with its despair and heart- emptiness?
30485Will you disgrace me by making public confession of your shame?
30485Will you have the kindness to mount at once, please?"
30485Will you let me go?"
30485Would Nola have the courage to own her attachment then, and stand between the wrath of her father and his wounded enemy?
30485Would they when the time came to fight do so, or harness their lean teams and drive on into the west?
30485Yes, I''ve got signed statements from them, Chadron, and I''d like to know what you''ve got to say, if anything?"
30485Yet, why should it matter so much to her?
30485You know the department is going to give it up?"
30485You know where that glove was found?"
30485You''ve give it all up to''em, they tell me, but this homestead, mom?"
30485are there no honest homesteaders among them who would combine with you against this wild man and his unlawful followers?"
30485could he fight that way, was it in Alan Macdonald to make a hawk''s dash like that?
30485do you mean to intimate you would n''t have her after what she''s gone through?
30485said Chadron, bursting into a fire of passion,"why ca n''t I fly like an eagle?
30485she announced,"Where was you goin'', honey?"
30485she repeated, staring at him blankly;"where have they gone?"
30485what''s the matter?
30485where was she?"
30485you''ll not-- who is the fellow, who?"
27150''Can you trust me?'' 27150 ''Honest?''
27150''Honest?'' 27150 ''Where can we go?''
27150''Where is she?'' 27150 ''Why?''
27150''Why?'' 27150 ''Will you go there with me now?''
27150A legal one?
27150Am I like her-- the best woman in the world?
27150And does she,''the best woman in the world,''live there?
27150And maybe the other will follow?
27150And you could do it then-- right after--"After you had done me the great and regretted honor? 27150 And you really think there''s the makings of a good woman in me?"
27150And you saw the sports?
27150And you think love is powerful enough to cure?
27150Any children?
27150Are n''t we going to stop at all, Mr. Sheriff Man?
27150Are n''t you foreman now?
27150Are n''t you hungry?
27150Are they ever that, Miss Lamont?
27150Are you a kleptomaniac?
27150Are you really going to have a dance to- night?
27150Are you the man who caught So Long Sam? 27150 Betty,"he said imploringly, after waiting a moment without recognition,"you ca n''t guess what''s in my pocket?"
27150But where is Jo?
27150But where is she? 27150 By the man who was instrumental in getting her reprieved?
27150Ca n''t a thief break in anywhere? 27150 Can you do that?"
27150Can you give us supper and put Miss Lamont up for the night? 27150 Can you skin a weasel?"
27150Did I make you think so? 27150 Did Mrs. Kingdon know you were going to do this?"
27150Did anyone ever try whipping you, I wonder?
27150Did he say I was? 27150 Did n''t Bender have one tiny good word for me?"
27150Did n''t it occur to you that you might be suspected and caught with the goods?
27150Did she say that?
27150Did you ever go up in an airship?
27150Did you ever go up, Pen?
27150Did you know she was going to do that?
27150Did you tell Mrs. Kingdon everything?
27150Do I remember? 27150 Do I seem such a weakling I could n''t take one man?"
27150Do n''t know where I can get an extra helper, do you, Kurt? 27150 Do n''t you like it?
27150Do n''t you want to love me, Pen?
27150Do you know who he is?
27150Do you know?
27150Do you love Jo Gary?
27150Do you remember our camping place that night?
27150Do you remember that night when we were here alone-- you started to tell me you loved me, did n''t you?
27150Do you think,he asked bitterly,"that you are fair to Jo--""To Jo?"
27150Do you want a drink?
27150Does he care, really, as much as he thinks he does,she wondered,"or is it just the lure of-- propinquity?
27150Does he love you?
27150Does the county furnish it to you?
27150For how long, Kurt, have you loved her?
27150Going out home now?
27150Guarding your car and me? 27150 Has he really a legal right to take you away?"
27150Have you been sick, real sick?
27150Have you the slightest idea as to where she has gone or where she might have gone?
27150Have you,she asked cynically,"always been so straight that you do n''t know what temptation means?
27150He showed us into a little ring- around- the- rosy room with lights half off and asks:''What''ll you have?'' 27150 He?
27150Hebby love me? 27150 Hebler?"
27150Honest?
27150How are you-- all right?
27150How did you come to be riding with Gene this morning?
27150How did you come to meet the men?
27150How did you ever track me up here, Jo?
27150How do you feel now? 27150 How do you know?
27150How do you know?
27150How long you been''it''?
27150How old is she?
27150How old is this''best woman in the world''?
27150How would she know him, and how would she get word to him to come out here?
27150How young now?
27150How''s business, Bender? 27150 I am wondering,"he said in a troubled tone,"how we can prevent the children from speaking of you before this man?
27150I know that too well,he said gravely,"but-- you''ll try?"
27150I stuck on, did n''t I?
27150I want to ask you how this girl is able to have such expensive looking things-- if she has only a job?
27150I''ve outwitted Kurt, and I must give Hebby the same treatment, but how can I make my getaway? 27150 If you can ride like that, why did you leave the circus for the life--""Of a crook?"
27150Is Miss Lamont in?
27150Is he here now?
27150Is it late?
27150Is it, then? 27150 Is n''t this better than Reilly''s?"
27150Is she a particular friend of yours?
27150Is she your sweetheart or your wife? 27150 Is that all you will tell her?"
27150Is that the only obstacle?
27150Is there an aviator registered here?
27150Is there anything worse than stealing?
27150Is this Top Hill-- where Mrs. Kingdon lives?
27150Is this a stay- up late, or a get- up early?
27150Is this his part of the country, and shall I see him?
27150Jo, if you had known Marta stole before you met her, would n''t you have loved her and asked her to marry you?
27150Jo, why do n''t you go into vaudeville? 27150 Jo,"he asked desperately, when he had joined him,"do you know where she is?
27150Makes the white lights of a city look like thirty cents, eh, Kurt?
27150Marta, how did you ever get here?
27150May I keep it, Hebby?
27150May n''t I do a stunt, too?
27150Me? 27150 Me?
27150Miss Lamont, do colored people ever have-- what was it you said you were afraid Miss Lamont had, mother?
27150Miss Lamont-- Miss Pen Lamont?
27150Mr. Westcott found another manager, did he?
27150No; you look like you''d take a red- hot stove if you wanted to; but they said-- Say; is your maiden name''Kurt?'' 27150 Not down to earth yet, Pen?
27150Not if we call them circus ladies and I cut horses for them to ride on?
27150Now what has come over the spirit of_ his_ dreams?
27150Now where do you want to go?
27150Now, Marta, what is it?
27150Oh, can I now? 27150 Oh, where, Jo?
27150P. S. Does it hurt_ now_ that I use your mother''s name?
27150Pen, why did you make me think, that first day I met you, that it was you Jo met and loved in Chicago?
27150Pen, will you be my wife?
27150Pen-- could you love me?
27150Please, may I get out and stretch?
27150Same as they do in-- Chicago?
27150Say, what''s eating you, anyway? 27150 See the picture last night?"
27150Shall we make it a loving cup, Kurt?
27150She did, did she? 27150 She is a friend of yours?"
27150Something worse?
27150Swell, is n''t it?
27150Terrors of the unknown? 27150 The last straw with you, is n''t it?
27150Then why do you? 27150 Then, are n''t you glad I''m here?"
27150This Hebler is some one you have met before?
27150This is the first time since you came here?
27150To apologize? 27150 Uncle Kurt''s gone away for a whole week, has n''t he, father?"
27150Unhook for me, will you, Gene?
27150Want to do something for me Larry, dear? 27150 Was it anything like you expected?"
27150Was it you or Bobbie Burr-- the girl who just came-- whom Jo met in a dance hall, and took to St.--some place on Lake Michigan?
27150Was it,he demanded,"_ Jo Gary_?"
27150Was n''t it grand in her to take the blame?
27150Well, do n''t you think she earns it?
27150Well,pursued Jo,"why did n''t you tell her you loved her in the first place?
27150What are you going to tell_ her_ about me?
27150What chance does her kind have? 27150 What did she say to you?"
27150What did she say?
27150What did you say?
27150What did you say?
27150What did you steal this food for then?
27150What else can you cut?
27150What for?
27150What has happened to send her off in such skyrocket fashion?
27150What is it, Marta?
27150What is it?
27150What is it?
27150What kind of things?
27150What makes you think so, Jo?
27150What music do you have?
27150What other times did you see him?
27150What shall we begin on?
27150What was the name of that some one else?
27150What''s her name?
27150What''s matter with you?
27150What''s matter, Kurt?
27150What''s that here for?
27150What''s that sound?
27150What''s the idea, Pen?
27150What''s the verdict on Jo?
27150What''tis, Jo? 27150 What''tis, Miss Penny Ante?
27150When did he go, Louis?
27150When did you take it?
27150When, where?
27150When?
27150Where are they all?
27150Where are you going?
27150Where did you have dinner?
27150Where did you learn to do that?
27150Where did you learn to play?
27150Where did you learn to ride?
27150Where is Pen?
27150Where is she? 27150 Who do they think you are?"
27150Who do you suppose did take it, Jo?
27150Who fixed them such a nice bed?
27150Who gave you permission to ride to- day?
27150Who is he, Miss Lamont?
27150Who is he, and what is he to you?
27150Who was that?
27150Who was the first?
27150Who''s your little old sister?
27150Whom do you men dance with?
27150Why are you called Penny Ante?
27150Why did n''t you say you were thirsty?
27150Why did n''t you tell me your story in the first place?
27150Why did neither you nor he speak of your having met?
27150Why did you leave Chicago?
27150Why do n''t you wear more clothes?
27150Why not?
27150Why was it up to you to find me, Jo?
27150Why,she asked curiously,"did you suspect Marta instead of me?"
27150Why?
27150Why?
27150Why?
27150Why?
27150Why?
27150Will I? 27150 Will you do something for me, Jo?
27150Will you get out and walk up to the house with me?
27150Will you mail this letter for me? 27150 Will you show her to one of the guest rooms?"
27150Will you tell me something about her, Marta? 27150 Working?"
27150Would it cure-- you?
27150Would n''t you like the power of ruling fates and fortunes in a city way?
27150Would n''t you like to have a fire?
27150Would n''t you like to motor over the place, Miss Pen?
27150Would n''t you trust me, if I gave you my word to wait for you?
27150Would you honor me, ma''am?
27150Would you like to ride this morning?
27150Y- e- s."He has some power over you-- the power to take you away?
27150Yes; and rode on after you--"Because you feared your prisoner might be taking French leave? 27150 Yes; did I show it so plainly?
27150You are afraid of him?
27150You can stay up a long time, ca n''t you, because you slept all day?
27150You knew Jo was at Westcott''s?
27150You will feel lost without Kurt at the helm, wo n''t you, Louis?
27150You will-- lie for me?
27150You''ll be there?
27150You''ve been ill recently, have n''t you?
27150''Taking''is your job, too, is n''t it?"
27150And it''s lovely up here, is n''t it?
27150And what might your middle name be?"
27150And why had Pen said she took it?
27150And-- Jo-- will you please not read the address?"
27150Any gasoline yet?"
27150Any new boarders?"
27150Are you her brother?"
27150Are you here alone in town to- day?"
27150Are you so prejudiced against the profession?"
27150Are you still--""The thief?
27150Are you the man she meant?"
27150But can you cook?"
27150But do you feel that way toward me?
27150But first, will you do something for me?"
27150But what are you doing up here, and how did you get in with these folks?"
27150But where have you been all day?"
27150But, Marta, that man you told me about, whose name you did n''t mention?"
27150But-- have you come back, Jo?"
27150CHAPTER II"Are n''t we going to stop at all, Mr. Sheriff Man?"
27150CHAPTER XII"Have we a new maid, Kurt?"
27150Ca n''t you look pleasant like you were going to sit for a picture to give to your best girl instead of posing for''Just before the battle, Mother''?
27150Ca n''t you see I_ want_ to come back?"
27150Come, now, wo n''t you?"
27150Did n''t you sleep?"
27150Did she marry the right man?"
27150Did you come to grief when you''let loose?''
27150Do n''t you care for me-- a little, Pen?"
27150Do n''t you understand?"
27150Do you know what Gene confided to me to- night?
27150Do you suppose I''d have done it if I''d known the kind you are-- a bright, smart brat who is bad because she wants to be, and boasts of it?
27150Does n''t he ever look pleasant, or was his gloom all on my account?"
27150Have you ever really tried to reform?"
27150Have you never wanted anything so much that you--""That I wanted to steal?
27150He started toward her, seemed to remember, hesitated and then asked lamely:"What have you been doing all day?"
27150How can I tell how many girls Jo Gary took to a dance hall?
27150How did you come to build a hotel way off here?
27150How far are we from your tiptop tavern?"
27150How many more miles is it to the end of your trail?
27150How shall I find out?
27150How''s things up there?"
27150I wonder does he know it, or is she deceiving him?
27150I wonder just why she is playing this role with me?"
27150I--""You put his diamond ring away?
27150If you hate your job so, what did you take it for?"
27150In these?"
27150Is n''t it great that I am back to stay?"
27150Is n''t she grand, Mr. Walters?
27150Is that the system?
27150Is that the way to France?
27150Is that the way your topside tavern woman will look at me?"
27150Is that_ her_ name or yours?"
27150It is n''t necessary to tell him to- night, is it?
27150It''ll come in handy now, or wo n''t you partake of stolen goods?"
27150Jo, are you very sure that you are in love-- enough to marry a thief?
27150Know it?''
27150Kurt,"she added after a pause,"did it occur to you I might have had a reason for stealing that ring?
27150Lamont?"
27150Like it?"
27150May I stay?
27150Now will you ask me-- the rest of it?"
27150Oh, Jo, where art thou?
27150Pretty soon Reilly comes in and tells me he wants to give us the best time he knows how all right, but were we planning to stay to breakfast?
27150Really lost your ring this time, Hebby?
27150Remember?"
27150Return the goods to Bender, or squeal on me to Hebby?"
27150Right away, quick?"
27150Same with you?"
27150Say, how did that tall guy know you had it?"
27150Shall I tell my story now?"
27150Sort of a breach, was n''t it?"
27150Sort of suggests respectability, do n''t you think?"
27150Stop the clock and play with the matches?
27150Summer boarders?
27150Sure you do n''t want to try a little straight flight?"
27150They would n''t look white, would they?"
27150This is a trail, is n''t it?"
27150To put you to the test-- your love, I mean-- before answering you?"
27150Was he at a dance in Chicago-- let me see, Hurricane Hall?"
27150Was it Bobbie Burr?"
27150Was it''Made in America?''
27150Was n''t it all right to see him?"
27150Well enough to ride on?"
27150What are you doing here?"
27150What are you doing in this neck o''the woods?"
27150What are you doing up so late?"
27150What are you going to do with me?"
27150What are you going to do?"
27150What did I care what she had been or done?
27150What did his nibs want?"
27150What do they dance up here-- fox trot?"
27150What do you propose to do with me now?
27150What have you been doing?"
27150What is he here for?"
27150What is it the trail to, anyway?
27150What next?
27150What shall I do to celebrate?
27150What shall we drink out of?"
27150What was your little game in making him think you were stupid?"
27150What would he think if he knew the thief was next door to it?"
27150What you been doing since the dance?"
27150What''ll it be?"
27150What''s the difference whether it''s night or day so long as you sleep somewhere in the twenty- four hour zone?"
27150What''s your rush, anyway?
27150When can I get him?"
27150When did you come home?"
27150When-- where?"
27150Where are you going and may I go, too?"
27150Where is he now?"
27150Where?"
27150Who brought you here?''
27150Who could be?
27150Who was this girl whose belongings betokened money, and yet who said she had come to do plain sewing?
27150Who would want a grudging love?"
27150Who?"
27150Why did n''t you let me hear from you?"
27150Why do n''t you ask me my name, Kurt?
27150Why do n''t you kick over the traces and come off your trail and see what''s on the other side of your hills?
27150Why is Kurt so different from most men?
27150Will there be dances?"
27150Will you come and help me?
27150Will you come, too?"
27150Will you do me a favor?"
27150Will you forgive me?''
27150Will you really let me?"
27150Will you take me?"
27150Will you tell the''tall, solemn guy''that you have your ring all right?
27150Will you?"
27150Will you?"
27150Would your sense of honor have been equal to the sacrifice of keeping faith with me?
27150You had a nice sleep, did n''t you?"
27150You were kind-- in intent; still, you might have been a wee bit nicer, do n''t you think?
27150You will arrange to see me again when I come back?"
27150You will?"
27150You wo n''t send me away?"
27150You''ll be kind to the little girl, wo n''t you?"
27150You''re the manager, are n''t you?"
27150Your house?"
27150he asked with a quirk to his mouth,"want to hook on to the wishbone?"
27150he exclaimed excitedly,"you have n''t got a man up there at your ranch, have you?"
27150turning ferociously to Francis,"what business has a boy looking like an owl?
37415And you really think that he has stolen the money and is trying to escape?
37415But, sir, have n''t you heard? 37415 Can he possibly know of this ambuscade?"
37415Do n''t you know who that is? 37415 Even if I had swift riders ready, who could catch them in time?"
37415Every man got two days''hard bread and bacon?
37415Has the court any questions?
37415Has there been another fight? 37415 How far from the sentries was it?"
37415How much ammunition?
37415How much is missing?
37415How much money did you lose with your wallet that night?
37415How say you, captain?
37415Is that all now, men?
37415Now, may I hear what it is they say against my boy, ma''am? 37415 Shall I take a file of the guard and fetch them back, sir?"
37415That?
37415Turned south toward the Sidney route?
37415What answer did you give Captain Charlton at Red Cloud when he asked you if you had seen anything of it since that night?
37415What answer did you give the captain when asked if any man had ridden back toward the Niobrara the morning the troop left there for Red Cloud?
37415What buildings, if any, were there near the spot where the troop was in bivouac on the Niobrara?
37415What could possibly have induced the boy to turn scoundrel all at once?
37415What is it, Horton?
37415What is it?
37415What on earth could be worse?
37415Where did they go, Park?
37415Where is your escort? 37415 Which way has he gone?
37415Who can it be?
37415Who is that young first sergeant?
37415Who on earth could have come through here at such a time? 37415 Whose is this?"
37415With whose money were you playing cards then, below Red Cloud, on the Sunday the troop marched away, leaving you behind?
37415Wo n''t the lieutenant drink a little of this, sir, and try a bite of bacon? 37415 Besides, were they not ordered to remain at the Niobrara until Charlton''s return? 37415 But what means this sudden scurry and excitement among the besiegers? 37415 But will the lieutenant look at this handkerchief, sir? 37415 Could it have been a deserter?
37415Did n''t I tell you he was no deserter?"
37415For what purpose did you, yourself, ride back and enter the log hut you described?"
37415Had he not seen in the tepees of the Cheyennes, but the week before, as many as three pairs of binocular field- glasses?
37415He returned the sergeant''s salute and inquired:"Every horse fed and watered?"
37415How came it that your sentries and you could let a man slip out with his horse and everything?
37415Is Fred killed?
37415Is it chloroformed?
37415Is n''t it strange that no one at Sidney should have heard of the Indians getting over the Platte?"
37415Now, what did that mean?
37415Shall we look and see?
37415Stay here, near me a moment, can you?
37415Surely you wo n''t take this route without one?"
37415Were there"ghost lights"on the Niobrara that night?
37415What can they see over that ridge beyond the little stream?
37415What could he do?
37415What was he to do?
37415What was it?"
37415Where''s the trouble now, I wonder?"
37415Who cared that an all- night ride through Indian- haunted wilds was before them?
37415Who could he be?
37415Why do they crowd and clamor there at the north?
37415You are sure about their whereabouts on Tuesday and Wednesday nights?"
37415You know the whole Platte valley, and how to get across and reach the Sidney road below?"
37415and had not Colonel Randall told him they knew their use and value as well as anyone?
37415could you tell?"
17647''Tain''t a human, is it?
17647A New York newspaperwoman; well, what do you suppose she is doing out here? 17647 A friend of mine?"
17647A good jest surely; how came you here?
17647About all in, Jim?
17647About your discharge?
17647Again the case of that man Cavendish?
17647Ai n''t that right? 17647 All right then; are you all set?
17647All right, now, ma''am?
17647All right, son, where is it?
17647All set?
17647All was clear above?
17647An''yer wo n''t give him up?
17647And I am equally convinced as to the truth of that remark,returned Westcott,"but why did you call yourself Cavendish?"
17647And Lacy did n''t know they were there?
17647And Miss La Rue?
17647And Westcott does n''t?
17647And about the note?
17647And at night?
17647And did n''t I do more''n anybody else ter get yer appointed? 17647 And he and Lacy have interests in common?"
17647And he could be here now?
17647And if we refuse?
17647And just the one door; what sort o''partition?
17647And that was all, was it-- just this note and the cash? 17647 And the murderer?"
17647And the prisoners?
17647And the young woman? 17647 And there has n''t been no killin''?"
17647And there is no other way to the bottom except along this trail?
17647And they took the old Shoshone trail; out past Hennessey''s ranch?
17647And this man-- this Juan Cateras-- what of him?
17647And was killed before he could do so?
17647And what happened then?
17647And what''s at the bottom?
17647And when you left for the coast, you took the midnight train on the New York Central?
17647And who the hell are you-- a pal?
17647And will that give them the right,_ señor_?
17647And yer left him back there, guarding the girl?
17647And you say Lacy can not get here before dark? 17647 And you want us to stay?"
17647And you will not tell me where we are going?
17647And your fee?
17647And-- has got away? 17647 Any chance to eat?"
17647Any of you missed your supper? 17647 Anything wrong?
17647Are ye yere on business?
17647Are you a man and ask that? 17647 Are you hurt?"
17647Are you mad, man? 17647 Are you sure,"he said to Cavendish,"that the dead man is your cousin?
17647Are you through?
17647At Cateras''s order?
17647At who?
17647Beaton sent for you?
17647Because that is my name-- why should n''t I?
17647Besides Cateras?
17647But how did you learn these particulars? 17647 But none in your cabin?"
17647But the affair originated over me-- my name was brought into it?
17647But the woman might not have been Miss Donovan; is n''t there another young lady here from the East?
17647But there is a trail; you could not become lost?
17647But what about Fred?
17647But what became of my others,he asked,"and of all the letters I wrote?"
17647But what happened afterward?
17647But what was it Moore said to you, José?
17647But when was this?
17647But where did yer come from? 17647 But who slugged Burke?"
17647But why associate me with New York?
17647But you propose holding us prisoners? 17647 But you saw a difference?"
17647But you told me you were Mr. Cavendish,she exclaimed,"and Mr. Westcott was an old friend of his-- surely you must remember?"
17647But you,_ señor_?
17647But, Mr. Farriss, where is he?
17647But,he insisted, unable to clear his brain,"why are you here?
17647But,insisted Lacy stubbornly,"did you see the dead one?"
17647But,she broke in impatiently,"where did he go?
17647But-- but,he stammered,"what was his object?
17647Ca n''t I go, too?
17647Can we get through?
17647Can you come here, dear?
17647Can you doubt that,_ señorita_?
17647Cavendish, I suppose?
17647Celeste, are you trimming me again?
17647Certainly; of New York; who do you think we were talking about?
17647Cut me off?
17647Dark or light?
17647Dead, sir, really_ dead_?
17647Dead?
17647Did he say anything about suddenly leaving the city for a trip West? 17647 Did n''t feel no terbacco, did yer, Jim?"
17647Did n''t wing yer, or nuthin''?
17647Did the woman wear any diamonds?
17647Did they ever quarrel?
17647Did they get the fellow?
17647Did you ever hear the beat of that, Enright? 17647 Did you get her full name?"
17647Did you hear that?
17647Did you learn if there was any other prisoner there?
17647Did you see something?
17647Did-- did he leave one?
17647Did-- did this man say anything against me?
17647Do n''t look like there''s nothin''out there, but we might try-- what do you say?
17647Do you believe Frederick Cavendish is dead?
17647Do you know how long ago that was?
17647Do you perceive now what this will means? 17647 Do you remember them?"
17647Do you remember? 17647 Do you suppose Jim Westcott knew her before?
17647Do you suppose he''d come up if I pounded on the floor?
17647Do you think that telegram is a fake? 17647 Do you think what goes on here is published to the world?
17647Enright and Lacy-- why?
17647Enright''s in this deep,he muttered thoughtfully,"but how?
17647Enright, you say? 17647 Enright?"
17647Ever been inside?
17647For him? 17647 Fred Cavendish?"
17647French? 17647 From New York?"
17647From New York?
17647Get him?
17647Getting bullish, are you, Matt?
17647Go down thar with yer?
17647Goin''ter keep a close tongue in your head; so that''s the game? 17647 Got yer cartridges tied up?
17647Hard luck to come out here to meet Jim, an''run up against a totally different proposition-- hey, miss?
17647Have you ever been down?
17647Have you some plan?
17647Have you told any one else what you have told me?
17647He gave no orders to the guard to return?
17647He left no word for a morning call?
17647He told you that? 17647 He was at that window, you say?"
17647Hell, ai n''t it?
17647Hello, lieutenant? 17647 His name?"
17647His noime''s Crowley; just a friend o''moine; mebbe yer know the lad?
17647Hold on; what boy? 17647 How about the note she gave you?"
17647How do they get down into it?
17647How do yer suppose Bill Lacy got into the affair?
17647How do you know?
17647How iver come yer ter guess thot?
17647How known?
17647How long was she in the apartment?
17647How many are they?
17647How much longer were you up?
17647How the devil did you know that?
17647How? 17647 Hurt eny?"
17647I am Jim Westcott; do you remember me?
17647I am to be held a prisoner-- indefinitely?
17647I am to go first?
17647I presume you leave this in my care?
17647I reckon so; not that I knows enything''bout the programme, miss; but that''s''bout the understandin''that Matt an''I has-- ain''t it, Matt?
17647I thought possibly you might care to question me regarding my acquaintance with the young woman?
17647I wonder how this was ever planned out-- if it be true?
17647If I answer-- what then?
17647In the desert?
17647In what cell?
17647In what manner can I satisfy your curiosity? 17647 In what room, Pete?"
17647In your care,_ señor_? 17647 Is he dead?"
17647Is it far to the post- office?
17647Is n''t Ned here yet?
17647Is n''t that the best way?
17647Is that Lacy''s mine?
17647Is that the note they say that New York young lady left?
17647Is that you, Brennan?
17647Is that you, Ned?
17647Is there something wrong?
17647Is this true? 17647 It do n''t make no difference, does it, Joe?"
17647It had been used once?
17647It is better adapted to that purpose-- you are an actress then?
17647It must be to- night?
17647It was Enright then who fired the shot?
17647Kill him?
17647Lacy write it?
17647Lacy?
17647Lady a friend o''yours, Jim?
17647Left-- gone from town?
17647Like the Frederick Cavendish case-- do you remember that?
17647Likely enough-- yes; either south, southeast, or southwest; what sort o''country is it?
17647Look at that mirror, will you, and those cracks in the wall? 17647 May I see it?"
17647Mendez fixed it?
17647Mendez''s outfit?
17647Mining? 17647 Miss Donovan?
17647Mr. Valois,she said kindly,"would you mind if I asked you a question or two more?"
17647No message for Miss Donovan up to that time?
17647No windows in the rear room?
17647Not before night; it is a hard ride; why ask all this?
17647Not hurt, are you? 17647 Now I wonder-- Mr. Farriss, does n''t it occur to you that they may be working together like the woman and the man in the Skittles case last year?
17647Now that I''ve laid bare my past,he was saying,"do n''t you think you might tell me why you are here?"
17647Of New York? 17647 Of what need?"
17647Oh, I see; he was his heir; and you had him fixed?
17647Oh, I''ll get her goat; you boys trot on now while I tog up a little for dinner; when is it, six o''clock?
17647Oh, do you think so? 17647 Oh, have n''t I?
17647Oh, is that you, Jim?
17647Oh, will he? 17647 On foot?"
17647Over me?
17647Perhaps you would go with me there?
17647Pretty late, is n''t it?
17647Protection from whom?
17647Sadie? 17647 Scoop the town?"
17647Shall I make you again?
17647She is to be held prisoner?
17647She said nothing then about going away?
17647Shoshone?
17647Since when? 17647 So the La Rosita Mining Company is about to be revived, is it?
17647So you found a backer? 17647 So you thought the pocket trick was a new one out here, did you?
17647Some chase? 17647 Some hole, ai n''t it?"
17647Some joke, is n''t it? 17647 Sure this is for me, John?"
17647Sure you cleaned up everything?
17647Sure, maybe you''ve heard of him? 17647 Sure; but a feller ca n''t help wonderin'', can he?
17647Sure; did n''t I just tell you so?
17647Sure; he was tellin''yer''bout old Mendez being a Mexican revolutionary leader down in Mex, wa''n''t he? 17647 Sure; what about him?"
17647Sure; what are you doing up at this hour?
17647Sure; what''s the idea?
17647Sure; you''re a friend o''Jim Westcott, ai n''t yer? 17647 Surely you are not married?
17647Surely you do not mean she left without any explanation? 17647 Tell me,"she insisted,"has he been killed?
17647That ai n''t hardly''nough ov it left fer a good chaw; how are you fixed, Jim?
17647That does n''t make much difference, does it, as long as I''ve got the drop?
17647That sounds promising; what do you make it, shanty Irish?
17647That''ll help some-- say, ai n''t that one o''them shirky birds yonder? 17647 That''s my name, John; what is it?"
17647That''s the gink, I bet yer; has he got a hang- out anywhar''round this country?
17647That''s where I shone-- second girl on the right in the chorus, and I was in the eccentric dance with Joe Steams; some hit-- what?
17647That-- that is the way, is it not?
17647The Americanos?
17647The New York lawyer? 17647 The air in that passage was perfectly pure; do you know anything about it?"
17647The fellow went in there after swag; but who got him?
17647The last one? 17647 The other man called you by name-- don''t you remember?
17647The other one-- the stiff-- wasn''t Cavendish?
17647The scenery, you mean?
17647Then Frederick may be confined not far away?
17647Then I suppose you have n''t much late New York news? 17647 Then Lacy is the go- between?
17647Then how about that dead man in New York-- the one that was buried for Cavendish? 17647 Then it is the other?"
17647Then up you go, miss; here, put your foot on the wheel; give her a lift, will you?
17647Then we fight it out?
17647Then what are yer fightin''fer Westcott fer?
17647Then yer''ve really struck ore?
17647Then your name was signed to them; what is your usual signature?
17647Then-- then,her breath choking her,"he got away?"
17647There ai n''t goin''ter be no fight er nuthin''?
17647There is such a man, then?
17647There was a dead man back East, was n''t there?
17647They are not my people,he said shortly, then retreating, begged,"John, when are you going to cut that sort out?"
17647They had a bunch o''cattle?
17647They were not here, then, at first?
17647This gentleman, you mean?
17647This play will soon be done; do you know who I am?
17647Tied it on the saddle; which way do we go?
17647Timmons? 17647 True, but not the lady; you will tell me about her?"
17647Trying the window this time,he murmured,"Do you hear that?
17647Under the name of Burke? 17647 Unsigned?"
17647Was anything said about Miss Donovan?
17647Was it Beaton?
17647Was that all? 17647 We hardly expected to find you here, for we were down on another matter So you are not Gentleman Tom Burke?"
17647We must have some means of communication; have you any suggestion?
17647We remain here,_ señor_?
17647We''ll fight our way through?
17647Well, I ai n''t heered the mister part fer some time, but my name''s Matt Moore, though, how the hell did you know it?
17647Well, could Jim and I make it-- say after dark?
17647Well, did n''t you see the Revue?
17647Well, do you feel better, Jim?
17647Well, what the devil do you suppose such a woman has come to this hole clear from New York for, Timmons? 17647 Well, what''che want?"
17647Well, what''s it like? 17647 Well, yer an officer ov the law, ai n''t yer?
17647Well, you better; tell those fellows that if one of''em makes a break he''s goin''ter be a dead Mex-- will yer? 17647 Well,"he ventured,"do you agree with this prospector friend?"
17647Well,said Roberts, none too pleasantly,"what have you got to say now?"
17647Whar is Lacy?
17647What about them? 17647 What are you guys goin''ter do with me?"
17647What are you talking about?
17647What became of Lacy?
17647What can all this mean? 17647 What did he look like-- big, red- faced fellow, with checked suit and round hat?"
17647What difference does that make?
17647What do I owe you, old man?
17647What do yer make o''that noise?
17647What do yer make o''that out thar?
17647What do yer mean? 17647 What do you mean?"
17647What do you think?
17647What have we got here?
17647What in Sam Hill are yer holdin''us up yere for? 17647 What is it you want of me?
17647What is it you want?
17647What is it?
17647What is it?
17647What is offered me?
17647What kind of a low- down trick is this, Brennan?
17647What makes you think that?
17647What reason?
17647What shall I say?
17647What shall we do?
17647What shall we do?
17647What the Sam Hill does this mean?
17647What the hell does that mean?
17647What trail is that?
17647What was done with the young lady?
17647What was his other name?
17647What was it, Jack?
17647What will be better?
17647What you do if you no hear at all?
17647What''s a comin''now, I wonder?
17647What''s become of Pasqual Mendez? 17647 What''s he saying, Moore?"
17647What''s that, Pete?
17647What''s that?
17647What''s that?
17647What''s the dope?
17647What''s the girl look like?
17647What''s the matter, Lacy? 17647 What''s the valley like, an''how do you get into it?"
17647What''s up? 17647 What,_ señorita_?"
17647What?
17647When did they come back?
17647When did you see her last?
17647Where am I?
17647Where are they?
17647Where are we?
17647Where are you taking me?
17647Where did your man Moore take Miss Donovan last night?
17647Where in Sam Hill did you come from?
17647Where was the message sent from? 17647 Where''s Bill?"
17647Where''s the marshal?
17647Where? 17647 Who are you?
17647Who has run off?
17647Who hit you?
17647Who is it?
17647Who posted you here?
17647Who says that?
17647Who the hell are you?
17647Who was he?
17647Who was he?
17647Who was with you the out- trip, along with Miss Donovan?
17647Who''s that?
17647Who? 17647 Whut''s all the row about?"
17647Why did you lock the door?
17647Why do you come,_ señor_?
17647Why should I? 17647 Why, Lord bless me-- it is, is n''t it?
17647Why, what power have you got, you little fool? 17647 Why,"he exclaimed in surprise,"how long have you been here?"
17647Why?
17647Why?
17647Willing to fight this out, Jim?
17647Wo n''t you join us?
17647Wotcher wanter ask?
17647Would you believe me if I said I did not know?
17647Would you escort me to the foot of the stairs?
17647Yep; whar''d you hear it called that?
17647Yer did n''t glimpse the critter?
17647Yer want me to show you the way?
17647Yes, but who are they?
17647Yes, that is my home; wo n''t you come in?
17647Yes, you can?
17647Yes; but what is it to you, and-- and Mr. Sikes, here?
17647Yet these things are true, are they not? 17647 Yet why?"
17647You actually threatened him because he asked about me?
17647You are glad I came?
17647You are? 17647 You ask no pledge, then, of me?"
17647You believed that much in me?
17647You bet, Dan; what''s the plan?
17647You bought return tickets at the station?
17647You can gamble he wo n''t say anything-- there''s no one else?
17647You can not explain? 17647 You could n''t tell who they were?"
17647You did n''t know about it, did you? 17647 You did n''t think it was love, did you, deary?"
17647You do n''t think it can be done? 17647 You expect Beaton to seek you?"
17647You fear there may be others posted at the top?
17647You fellows want ter get down inter the valley?
17647You have never handled one before?
17647You have really been down there, Moore?
17647You hear yet Señor Cavendish?
17647You heard nothing during the night?
17647You heard what he said?
17647You knew I would come?
17647You know Señor Mendez?
17647You know Señor Moore-- no hair so?
17647You know that also? 17647 You know that?"
17647You know this man Burke?
17647You know whar we are?
17647You left the door unlocked?
17647You love me?
17647You mean he is a revolutionist?
17647You mean in possible rescue?
17647You mean to question Miss Donovan?
17647You mean you have been sent after these people on some criminal matter? 17647 You mean you will maintain silence as to the will?"
17647You mean your purpose is to aid me to escape?
17647You no sell Lacy then?
17647You promise me your assistance?
17647You refer to the New York newspaper woman?
17647You saw him?
17647You saw them? 17647 You saw what happened?"
17647You say a man by that name was here-- asking for me?
17647You say you do not know what this all means?
17647You sent for me; there is some explanation, no doubt?
17647You sleepy swine,he ejaculated fiercely,"and is this the way you keep watch?
17647You take me, I presume, to Señor Mendez?
17647You think he is alive then?
17647You think he knocked me overboard, believing I was some one else? 17647 You told her nothing further that did not come out at the inquest?"
17647You want me too?
17647You were expecting to meet Mr. Enright, were n''t you? 17647 You''ll go then?"
17647You''re from New York; ever hear of the Cavendish murder?
17647You''re sure he was n''t drinking?
17647You''ve been here some time, then?
17647You-- you are after me?
17647You-- you are shot?
17647You-- you know me?
17647You-- you mean it was not an accident-- that I was brought here purposely?
17647You-- you scrapped it out? 17647 You?
17647Your idea is that we drift past under cover of the log?
17647Your instructions?
17647Your name is Joe?
17647Zis Meester Vest- c- ott?
17647A mining man?"
17647A woman?"
17647After a few inquiries the attorney said sharply:"You want this transcribed immediately?"
17647After the sheriff?"
17647After us?"
17647Ai n''t abduction no crime?
17647Ai n''t his outfit yere?"
17647Ai n''t that the truth, Joe?"
17647Ai n''t that yer job?"
17647All ready, Joe?"
17647All right, what is it?"
17647All right-- hey?
17647All this took place in Sunken Valley?"
17647Am I ready to eat?
17647Am-- am I to be left here with these-- these men?"
17647And how could they proceed toward effecting the rescue of the helpless girl?
17647And if the man was alive and concealed somewhere in the neighbourhood, what was their present object?
17647And now, Timmons,"he turned to the bewildered landlord,"is that man Enright upstairs?"
17647And these New York people-- they are still here?"
17647And what about you, Mr. Cavendish?
17647And what next?"
17647And why had some one already entered her room and examined the contents of Stella Donovan''s bag?
17647And why should Lacy desire to take her life?
17647And why should he not?
17647And you felt important enough to rebuke him on my behalf?
17647Are those stories really true?"
17647Are you French?"
17647Are you going to lie there moping?
17647Are you travelling alone?"
17647At Sunken Valley?"
17647Beaton?"
17647Besides, that''s the sheriff''s job, ai n''t it?
17647Big Tim''s girl?"
17647Both of yer ready?"
17647But had it?
17647But if this was true what had since become of Frederick?
17647But now when they are aware that they are being followed, what is likely to happen?
17647But the girl?
17647But these other people-- Beaton, Miss Donovan, and still another expected to arrive soon from the East-- how were they connected with the deal?
17647But whar is it?
17647But what did they propose doing with her?
17647But what other course was there?
17647But what''s yer theory''bout Cavendish?
17647But what?
17647But where?
17647But who was she?
17647But would she have departed, however hurriedly, without leaving him some message?
17647Call him to the phone will you, Jackson?
17647Can we count you in on this shindig?"
17647Can you guide us?"
17647Can you prove that you were in your own apartments, asleep in your own bed from one o''clock until eight?
17647Cassady?"
17647Cavendish''s voice rose high, then later Miss Donovan heard him say more softly:"How much do you want?"
17647Cavendish?"
17647Cavendish?"
17647Cavendish?"
17647Colorado, yes, but where in Colorado?
17647Could it be that the Mexican was hit?
17647Could the wagon have turned in some other direction?
17647Could this be Frederick Cavendish?
17647Could this be Haskell?
17647Could this indeed be the inferno into which she had been precipitated from the train in the darkness of the evening before?
17647Dan, ai n''t this an eye- opener?"
17647Did I get him with the knife?"
17647Did he not stand alone between them and fortune?
17647Did n''t the other fellow say anything?"
17647Did she mention his name, Beaton?"
17647Did the lieutenant give you a reason?"
17647Did yer hear them shots?
17647Did you ever see anything more dismal and desolate?"
17647Did you imagine I would ever surrender myself into the hands of that devil, after what has happened?
17647Did you say I was to take the ridge road?"
17647Did you say there was a girl here from New York?
17647Did you think this was Christmas Eve?
17647Do I get the money?"
17647Do I see you moving?"
17647Do n''t you know that?"
17647Do yer get me?"
17647Do yer hear that, Joe?
17647Do yer hear?"
17647Do yer see them cow- ponies hitched ter the rack alongside o''the Red Dog?
17647Do you come, then, to serve me?"
17647Do you feel confidence in me again?"
17647Do you get me?"
17647Do you hear that yell?
17647Do you hear those voices?
17647Do you imagine Timmons had anything to do with the affair?"
17647Do you know what it means?"
17647Do you know where you are?
17647Do you know who I am?"
17647Do you realise where such testimony would place you?
17647Do you recall the name of the man you were conversing with on the observation car?"
17647Do you see what I mean?"
17647Do you see?
17647Do you see?
17647Do you see?
17647Do you think of anything better?"
17647Do you want to die in your tracks?
17647Does he go along with you?"
17647Does that mean anything?"
17647Donovan,"he mused, peering at the name;"that''s Irish, I take it-- hey?"
17647Enright?"
17647Enright?"
17647Ever crossed Shoshone?"
17647Ever see nicer bunch o''lambs, Jim?"
17647Fifteen ter two is some odds, but''tain''t in my nature, or Jim''s here, ter turn round an''leave that girl in the hands o''them cusses-- is it, Jim?"
17647First, what sort of a man was your master?"
17647For what purpose had he wired the La Rue woman to join him?
17647From what source could she expect any outside help?
17647Got a bite there for me?"
17647Got the grub, have n''t yer?"
17647Had Lacy organised a company and got hold of some money in New York?
17647Had her mysterious visit anything to do with the death of the elder Cavendish?
17647Had his untimely end disarranged some plan of these two?
17647Had left word where he was to be found?
17647Had something occurred to make them feel it safer to have him out of the way permanently?
17647Had they decided they were risking too much in permitting him to live?
17647Had they fallen into the hands of these others?
17647Had they originally intended to take his life, and been compelled to change the plan?
17647Has a man by that name been killed lately in New York?
17647Has he been located?"
17647Has he been shot?"
17647Have you got the note here?"
17647Have you only one chair?"
17647He care not who he kill, who he fight-- some day it come his turn, and then he liberate Mexico-- see?
17647He claimed to know me?
17647He expected me to show up then?"
17647He goes East occasionally, does n''t he?"
17647He had talked already more than he intended, but what was the difference?
17647He has been killed?"
17647He knows a thing or two, but he ca n''t prove it; and if we move faster than he does we''ll block his game-- see?"
17647He must have turned off south-- but where?"
17647He s she got enything ter do with it?"
17647He sells the cattle?"
17647He''s drove many a load along yere-- hey, Matt?"
17647He''s over there behind that tree-- see the smoke?
17647Here you-- what happened?"
17647Here, Jim, do you read that lingo?"
17647His lips sputtered:"As-- as a witness?"
17647How are we fixed for ammunition?"
17647How did he escape encountering Beaton and why did he fail to answer your message?"
17647How did he know about them?
17647How did she like the palatial apartment?"
17647How did you learn?"
17647How do we know what may result from such acts?
17647How do you know?"
17647How does that notion strike you?"
17647How far could she question the man before her?
17647How had he discovered their participation in the affair?
17647How late?"
17647How were they involved in the controversy?
17647How''d it do to hide in these sand- hills, and wait?"
17647How''s the door, Ned?"
17647However, there''s no fight on yet; will yer behave yerself, an''let this man Beaton alone if I hand yer back yer gun?"
17647I am to see you again-- alone?"
17647I do n''t leave yer up yere to play no tricks-- now which is it?"
17647I had to act as I did or else lose my hold entirely on that man-- you understand?"
17647I know you have claimed, and been promised, your share of the swag-- isn''t that true?"
17647I knowed wunst when he was gone eight months, an''nobody knowed where he was-- do yer mind thet time, Joe, after he shot up Medicine Lodge?
17647I never heard of it; did you?"
17647I think we had better go to Farriss, do n''t you?"
17647I''m an officer o''the law?"
17647I''m assigned by_ Scribbler''s Magazine_ to do an article on''The Old West, Is It Really Gone?''
17647If I show yer a way, what is thar in it fer me?"
17647If she got an inkling of this affair----""Who is she?
17647If so, how much?"
17647If suspicion is once cast upon you, how can you clear yourself?
17647If the man was dead why should Beaton remain at Haskell and insist on Miss La Rue''s joining him?
17647If yer have ter paddle ter keep in the current do n''t let yer hands er feet come to the surface-- understand?"
17647If you dare utter a sound, or make a motion, this man will shoot you dead in your tracks-- do you understand?"
17647Is it dark enough, mate?"
17647Is n''t that strange, Mr. Cavendish, when we have only met three times?"
17647Is n''t that true, Ned?"
17647Is that a hunting- dog?"
17647Is that it?"
17647Is that the letter Miss La Rue left?"
17647Is that what I am to understand?"
17647Is the outfit loaded?"
17647Is there any mention in that description of a peculiar and vivid scar on the chest of this man Burke?
17647Is there anything more?"
17647It is true, is it not?"
17647It sounds blame good ter me, Jim; what d''ye say?"
17647It was n''t my case, and the only thing that interested me was that the name happened to be the same as assumed by the man I was following-- why?"
17647It would be spoken about, if he had any, would n''t it?"
17647Jackson, is Mr. Cavendish-- John Cavendish-- there?
17647Jim Westcott?
17647Lacy?
17647Let up, will yer?
17647Maybe yer ready to talk now?"
17647Might it not even be better to retrace their way to the springs, and wait the coming of Lacy?
17647Money, no doubt; you are wealthy, are you not?"
17647Moore?"
17647Mr. Valois, tell me-- why?"
17647No?
17647Nobody never told you that Dan Brennan was a quitter, did they?"
17647Not even who the dead man was found murdered in your apartments?"
17647Not the girl you had that row over, Beaton?"
17647Not the one that was killed?"
17647Not this Mexican shootin''scrape?"
17647Nothing startling, I mean?"
17647Now another thing; where are your men?"
17647Now do n''t you know that will kick up a hell of a row?
17647Now look here,_ amigo_, you march straight out through that door, and head for the bunk- house-- do you get that?"
17647Now what do you choose?"
17647Now, if he is alive, where has he been concealed, and for what purpose?
17647Now, what do yer say?
17647Now, what do you make of it?"
17647Oh, the red- headed waitress at Timmons''s, you mean?
17647On what charge?"
17647Once his lips were sealed, who else could combat their claims?
17647One shot fired would bring here a dozen men-- then what?"
17647Or explore further to the east and west?
17647Or had they decided it was better to wait for a larger force?
17647Say, Dan, what do you know about that Mexican, Mendez?"
17647Say, did yer ever hear tell of a Mexican named Mendez?"
17647Say, do I actually have to wash in that tin basin?
17647Seen Bill Lacy this morning?"
17647Selling goods on the road away out here?"
17647Shall we try it, now?"
17647Shall we try the passage?"
17647She left money an''a note pinned to her pillow; sed she''d just got a message callin''her back home-- want ter see whut she wrote?"
17647She remembered Willis''s remark in the apartments,"Are you sure of the dead man''s identity?
17647She was here when we came?"
17647Should they go on?
17647So Bill Lacy expected him?
17647So she really belonged with that outfit, did she?
17647So, this New Yorker is a protégé of yours?"
17647Surely you are not one of this gang of outlaws?"
17647Tell me, if it was Fred who was murdered, what became of the money he was known to have in his private safe?
17647Tell me, when were you in New York?"
17647That Capley girl told you that Matt Moore drove out on the ridge road?"
17647That all this has happened on account of my name?"
17647That is true of you also, is it not?"
17647That these people were desperate she had every reason to believe; they were battling for big stakes: not even murder had hitherto stood in their way?
17647That''s fair, ai n''t it?"
17647That''s good common sense, ai n''t it?"
17647That''s no name ever I heard; what''s she look like?"
17647The charge would be murder, and how are we going to hold the real Cavendish alive, and not have it come out?"
17647The fellow is comin''now-- see?"
17647The lady?
17647The man who was with you, you mean?
17647The only question unsettled, Enright, is-- what is all this worth to me?"
17647The others will obey you?"
17647The poor thing is in love with you, no doubt, but that does n''t answer my question, who is she?"
17647The row last night had revealed a mutual interest between the men, but what was its nature?
17647The sheriff?
17647Then it came home to her-- why not try one of the other cells?
17647Then seeing the puzzled look upon the valet''s face, she said:"Do n''t you remember me?
17647Then what are yer goin''back on me for, and the rest ov the boys, an''takin''sides along with a murderer?
17647Then, did you notice?
17647Then, why should Enright an''his crowd come yere, unless that was a fact?
17647There are two log houses before the cave?"
17647There is danger, yet what is danger to Juan Cateras?
17647There seemed to be more light than usual across the gulch as I came up-- what''s going on?"
17647There was a few moments of silence, both men evidently busied with their thoughts; then Westcott asked:"What is your idea, Dan?"
17647There was nothing addressed to me?"
17647Thought yer was comin''out yere ter meet up with Jim Westcott, did n''t yer?"
17647Through that peep- hole I got sight o''you, Lacy, an''that fat feller-- what''s his name?"
17647Tryin''ter keep it dark, was n''t yer?
17647Up to La Rosita?"
17647Was ever a girl so lucky?
17647Was not this rather the real fraud-- this sudden change of heart?
17647Was the brute who ordered you about Bill Lacy?"
17647Was this the true reason for Beaton''s presence in Haskell, and also why the La Rue woman had been hastily sent for?
17647Well, Ned, the first thing I want to know is, who is this other New York skirt, and how did she happen to blow in here just at this time?"
17647Well, what was the difference?
17647Well-- what else?"
17647Were any Americans down there when you left, Moore?"
17647Were those men planning some new attempt?
17647Westcott asked:"How can we get there safely?
17647Westcott?"
17647Westcott?"
17647Whar do yer want ter go?
17647Wharabouts are we, Matt?"
17647What I want to know is-- where are these two?"
17647What are you holding on to this other fellow for?"
17647What became of the original copy of the will he had in his pocket when he left the club?"
17647What can I do?
17647What can you find for me in the larder?"
17647What connection did Bill Lacy have with the gang?
17647What could be happening out there?
17647What could she do?
17647What did Westcott know?
17647What do ye suppose she''s come yere for?"
17647What do yer say?"
17647What do you mean?"
17647What do you say, Celeste?"
17647What do you think best?"
17647What does your latest charmer wear-- a skirt and a shirtwaist?"
17647What else could they have remained behind for, except to hide and close the trail?
17647What ever brought a girl like you down in here?"
17647What had become of José?
17647What had become of them?
17647What had really become of the girl?
17647What happened?"
17647What happened?"
17647What in the world ever brought you out here?"
17647What is happening now?"
17647What is it you know?"
17647What is it you want?"
17647What is it, landlord?
17647What is that paper in your hand?
17647What is the gang up to now, Matt?"
17647What is this, anyhow-- a family reunion?"
17647What made yer ask me''bout Pasqual Mendez this mornin''?
17647What makes you suspect this?"
17647What next?"
17647What plan have you?"
17647What possibility of hope lay in her own endeavours?
17647What put that in your head?"
17647What sheriff''s posse may be on your trail?
17647What should she do?
17647What sort was she?"
17647What was it she was doing?
17647What was it yer said about Bill Lacy?"
17647What was the matter with you, anyhow?"
17647What was the probable meaning of this?
17647What was the reason she had come in person instead of telephoning?
17647What was the row about-- your mine?"
17647What was to be done?
17647What was wrong?
17647What were they to do with their prisoner?
17647What yer goin''in to see him about, Jim?"
17647What''d yer make o''that?"
17647What''s comin''now?"
17647What''s going on up there?"
17647What''s her game, anyhow?"
17647What''s that down below, Matt?
17647What''s that, Moore?
17647What''s that?
17647What''s the hotelkeeper''s name?"
17647What''s the idea, Moore?"
17647What''s the idea?
17647What''s the matter with the diner?"
17647What''s this?"
17647What''s up between yer, Jim?
17647When did it happen?"
17647When did you come?"
17647When did you leave New York?"
17647When?"
17647When?"
17647Where did they go?
17647Where is Cateras?"
17647Where is Pasqual Mendez?"
17647Where is it?
17647Where is this man?"
17647Whereas your fat friend-- old money- bags?"
17647Which one of yer is Mendez?"
17647While holding me here a prisoner they propose robbing me through the courts?"
17647Who are you?"
17647Who are you?"
17647Who did he think I was?"
17647Who do yer mean?"
17647Who have you got with you?"
17647Who is he?"
17647Who says so?"
17647Who told yer''bout me?"
17647Who was this Beaton, and what connection could he have with Bill Lacy''s gang?
17647Who would save her-- Mendez?
17647Who?"
17647Why did those people scheme to get me?"
17647Why do n''t you close down and come and get your stuff?"
17647Why does he need you?"
17647Why have I never heard?
17647Why he told me that was his name; he even described being thrown from the back platform of a train by that Ned Beaton; who can he be, then?"
17647Why not ask Timmons to show you the letter she left?"
17647Why not?
17647Why should it be-- found in his apartments?
17647Why then, should they hesitate to take her life, if they actually deemed it necessary to the final success of their plans?
17647Why this frigid reception?"
17647Why, how did you know?"
17647Why, if this is the prize, what kind of a room have you got?"
17647Why, then, should I conceal my eagerness?
17647Why, what can you do?
17647Why?
17647Will their vengeance also include Miss Donovan?"
17647Will they become desperate enough to kill their victim, hoping thus to destroy absolutely the evidence of their crime?
17647Will you hold the lamp until I learn if he is alive?"
17647Will you walk with me down to the station?"
17647Wo n''t they take a hand?"
17647Would it open the haven to temporary safety?
17647Y''re a man, ai n''t yer?
17647Ye see that sway- back ridge yonder?"
17647Yer wa''n''t hurt, or nuthin'', durin''the scrap?"
17647Yer was here hopin''ter see that New York girl, was n''t yer?"
17647Yet why was the man Beaton out here?
17647You ai n''t too nice to partake of a cocktail, are you?
17647You are a detective?"
17647You are in the newspaper business, ai n''t you?"
17647You are really a woman-- and alive?"
17647You been here long?"
17647You came from New York City?"
17647You came in under those conditions, did n''t you?"
17647You do n''t hook the Mexican up with this affair, do yer?"
17647You do n''t mind if I smoke, do you?
17647You do not mind waiting a moment?"
17647You expect Lacy?"
17647You filed complaint?
17647You hear?"
17647You intend delivering us up to the man Lacy as soon as he arrives?"
17647You know Beaton, do n''t you?"
17647You know that part of the old town?"
17647You know what to do with your team; then the both of you report to Casas at the upper camp-- you know him?"
17647You mean there was a fight over me-- a barroom squabble over me?"
17647You might kill me; I think that, yet how would it serve you?
17647You never heard tell o''my hittin''anybody just fer fun, did yer?"
17647You saw the witch?
17647You saw who was in the carriage?"
17647You say you had a photograph of me?"
17647You see my position?"
17647You see that wagon over there?
17647You think we stand this quietly?
17647You understand?
17647You will come?"
17647You will give the kiss?"
17647You will not?
17647You will trust me?"
17647You''re game fer a try at gettin''out o''yere, ai n''t yer, old man?
17647You''re game for a try, ai n''t yer?"
17647You''ve got her number?"
17647he demanded directly:"Money?
17647he said, with something strangely like a cry in his deep voice,"so you''ve resigned from the_ Star_, and you''re going to stay in Haskell?"
17647man, where has he gone?
17647she insisted,"or what you propose doing with me?"
17647so there is some fight left in you?
17647struck anything?"
33656''Oh, what''s the way to Arcady Where all the leaves are merry?''
33656An honest confession is good for the soul, is n''t it? 33656 And do n''t the very breezes call us to follow them in search of adventure?
33656Are n''t Jack and Carlos with you?
33656Are we by ourselves?
33656Are you the Big Chief of this ranch?
33656But Olive what? 33656 But have n''t you enjoyed your two weeks at Rainbow Lodge, and has n''t it done you good?
33656But what shall I do about the smut on my nose, Jack?
33656Ca n''t you find a flower for me?
33656Ca n''t you tell me, Ruth?
33656Dear me, granny, have n''t you something pleasant to tell somebody?
33656Did they know you took the money for your brother?
33656Did you ask the man if he found any signs of gold in our creek, Jack?
33656Did you?
33656Do n''t you think we had better go indoors? 33656 Do n''t you think you might go in the house and dress or fix your hair or something?"
33656Do n''t you want to come with us? 33656 Do you really feel that way about Jim, dear?"
33656Do you think the ranch would go to rack and ruin if you left it for a little while? 33656 Do you think we will be able to get off this afternoon?"
33656Do you wish anything?
33656Does anybody know where Ruth is?
33656Donald, will you please persuade Elizabeth not to bore Miss Ralston with our family history?
33656For mercy''s sake, what kind of a store would keep a sleeping bag, Olive?
33656Frieda, wo n''t you give me the blue ribbon on your hair to prove to your sister I have been a guest of the caravan party?
33656Good gracious, Olive, what is that?
33656Got the gold microbe too, Frank? 33656 Has anything disagreeable happened?
33656Has he gone yet?
33656Has your mother ever been out west before?
33656He said what, Ruth?
33656Here is a flower for you, Beth?
33656How can you be so silly and ungrateful?
33656How could you, Miss Bruce?
33656How could_ you_?
33656How did the girls and Mr. Kent get away without my knowing?
33656How''s Jack, Ruth?
33656I am sure I do n''t know-- what?
33656I say, Jack, where are you going?
33656I should hardly like to be called an''Injun giver'', would you?
33656I''m ill. Why do n''t somebody come to me?
33656If you do n''t mind, I must beg you to excuse me?
33656Is it the custom to bump into people in the place you do come from?
33656Is n''t it too cool?
33656Is there any way on earth to make Elizabeth stop talking when she should n''t, Don?
33656Is there anything I can do to make you more comfortable, Miss Drew?
33656Is your name Jim Colter?
33656It''s Jack, is n''t it?
33656It''s a pretty dismal place, is n''t it, Jim?
33656Jack, do n''t you remember my telling you about the Indian boy who helped me to come home to you when I was stolen by old Laska? 33656 Jean,"Ruth called a minute later,"do you mind staying here with Frieda for a little while?
33656Kind of surprised to see me?
33656Look here, Jean Bruce, will you please stop talking about crushes and such nonsense?
33656Look here, Miss Drew, do n''t you think you might speak a good word to your overseer and the young ladies for me?
33656Look here, do n''t you think the best thing to do is to make a clean breast of things? 33656 Miss Ralston, am I running this ranch, or are you?"
33656Mr. Jim,she called,"do you think there is any special need of our traveling to- day?
33656Oh, please, do you really wish me to ride with you?
33656Oh,said Jean, as, holding fast to Frieda''s hand, she got within speaking distance of the stranger,"are you still here?"
33656Olive,Mrs. Harmon questioned, for a moment losing her reserve and caution,"have you any Spanish or Italian ancestors?
33656Really, Ruth, the Park is even more beautiful than we dreamed, is n''t it?
33656Remember a motto I once said I was going to take for the Rainbow Ranch, Jim?
33656Ruth, is anything the matter?
33656Shall I tell you your future now, Miss?
33656She will live?
33656So it is you, is it?
33656Suppose there is any change in it? 33656 The Lodge?
33656Then why do n''t one of them come out and help you cook?
33656Then will you tell me please if I am ever going to be able to walk again?
33656Then you positively_ wo n''t_ sell the land, Jack?
33656Then you''ll come to New York next winter to stay with me?
33656WHERE''S JACK?
33656Want any help with your animals, stranger?
33656We have been wondering what had become of you ever since dinner?
33656Well, Jack, who is your latest find?
33656Well, what''s the latest, Jim?
33656What are you doing, Miss Drew, wandering around at this hour of the night with the girls? 33656 What can you have to say to Miss Ralston, Elizabeth?"
33656What do you mean by resting and eating while your horses suffer? 33656 What do you think, dears?"
33656What has come over you, Jim, to make you willing to listen to poetry?
33656What in the world are you talking about?
33656What is it, Jean?
33656What is it, Jim?
33656What is it, boss? 33656 What is it, for goodness''sake, Frank?"
33656What is the matter, Jean; what are you talking about?
33656What is your friend''s name?
33656What was it you wanted to tell me?
33656What was that funny thing you advised our buying last night, Olive?
33656What was that?
33656What was the use? 33656 What were you doing here, Jim?"
33656What''s the matter, Jack?
33656What''s the matter, Ralph?
33656When I see a pack of tramps getting ready to take up their residence with us, have I the right to send them away, or must I ask your leave?
33656When may Jack write the people to say they can have the Lodge?
33656Where are we going, Jack?
33656Where could we go? 33656 Where''s Jack?"
33656Where''s Jack?
33656Who can we send for to investigate for us, whom we can trust with our secret?
33656Who would have thought of your having so much practical sense, Jean? 33656 Why did you come with us when I said stay behind?"
33656Why do you ask?
33656Why do you mind our taking a walk to- night? 33656 Will you come and stay with me at Rainbow Lodge and let the others go on with their holiday?"
33656Will you let me wait a little while to find out?
33656Wo n''t you be a bitter- root blossom? 33656 Wo n''t you go ahead and bring back her chair?
33656Wo n''t you say good- by, Jean, and take back what you said last night?
33656Wo n''t you tell Miss Ralston hers? 33656 Would n''t you kind of like to see that old mine you deserted, Jim?"
33656Would n''t you, Jim?
33656You are fond of this ranch and would like to spend your whole life on it, would n''t you?
33656You could n''t stay away, could you, pard? 33656 You mean you have been deceiving me and have asked me to marry you without my knowing your real name?"
33656You''ll be sure to come to Rainbow Lodge to see us some day, wo n''t you?
3365653"HOW COULD YOU, MISS BRUCE?"
33656And where can we go if we give up our house to them?"
33656Are n''t you glad to see us?"
33656Are you sure you like living on a ranch now?
33656But do n''t you wish we were traveling across the plains right now?
33656But how did you ever guess how I loved to ride?"
33656But why did not this conviction make her able to answer Jim as he deserved, and why should she feel so unhappy?
33656But why do you ask me?"
33656But you do care for the life now, Ruth, and-- do you think you can care for me?"
33656CHAPTER VII"A LITTLE HOUSE ON WHEELS""Our caravan looks like the real thing, does n''t it, Jim?"
33656CHAPTER XI"WHERE''S JACK?"
33656CHAPTER XVI"OLD FAITHFUL""O Miss Ralston, will you ride horseback with me this morning instead of going over in the coach to see the geysers?"
33656CHAPTER XX FRANK AND JACK"Olive, Frank, Jean, what''s the use of being a professional invalid if I''m to be shamefully neglected?"
33656Could n''t you write and ask Mr. Harmon to give up the ranch a little sooner than October?
33656Did you have any such idea in your head, Jack?"
33656Do n''t you remember how we used to plot and plan just such a journey years and years ago, when Jean and Frieda and I were little girls?
33656Do n''t you suppose if there had been any gold on our ranch father would have made the discovery years ago?"
33656Do n''t you think we could think of something to amuse her?
33656Do n''t you think you could let me stop to rest and perhaps talk to you a few minutes?"
33656Do you think you can make yourself lovely and keep an eye on things at the same time?"
33656Do you think you could get Colter to give me a job as a miner?"
33656Had she ever been rash enough to say she loved the splendid western storms?
33656Has no one ever known of what you did in all these years?"
33656Have you ever heard the theory that we all have a double somewhere in the world?
33656Have you seen this''Gypsy Joe''around the ranch since you have been here, Frank?"
33656He----""Elizabeth,"Mrs. Harmon interrupted sternly,"how many times have I asked you not to talk of your father''s affairs with strangers?
33656How would you like to drive down to Rainbow Creek and see if we can find the others?"
33656However are we going to have the courage to march across that wretched porch with all those people staring at us?"
33656I do n''t wonder he is in love with our ranch, but we do n''t have to sell it to him because he wants it, do we?
33656I wonder if Jim gave it to you?"
33656Is Jim Colter the overseer of your ranch?
33656Is n''t it great that we have had a whole week of perfect sunshiny weather?"
33656It is silly of me to think she could have had a premonition of my accident, is n''t it?
33656Jim?"
33656Kent?"
33656Maybe you will listen to the story now?"
33656Now can you forgive me?"
33656Promise me, promise me, you will grant my request, wo n''t you?
33656Remember how we used to plan, when we were little girls, to run away and find the''Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow''as soon as we grew up?"
33656That was a bluebird that flew across our path, and it''s a good omen:''the bluebird for happiness''--don''t you remember the play Ruth read us?"
33656The image of a half- forgotten face came back to her; somewhere in her past had she not seen a girl who looked like this Olive Ralston?
33656The thing that troubles me most is who is to be the leader of this female cavalcade?"
33656They have nearly pestered the life out of me, and now what do you think is the latest?"
33656Think you could manage to make the trip in a sleeper, old girl, with me to see after you?"
33656Was n''t it rather stupid for Jim to have brought her out alone on the lake in the moonlight to talk of the Harmons?
33656Was there anything else in Mr. Harmon''s letter that annoyed you?"
33656Were your father and mother western people?"
33656What can you be doing here?"
33656What do you say to our taking the train for the Rainbow Ranch about the day after to- morrow?
33656What do you think this Harmon man has written me?"
33656What shall we do-- read or play cards or just talk?"
33656What''s the matter with the rancho?
33656When have you ever spent your days and nights out of doors?"
33656Why did they ask_ him_ about"The Girl Who Was Never Afraid"?
33656Why do n''t you choose that flower, Ruth, as appropriate to your character?"
33656Why do you never do as mother asks you?"
33656Why should she care because the overseer of the ranch was rude to her?
33656Why should she care to know more of this stray girl''s past history; what could it mean to her?
33656Why, have n''t we the whole round world to choose from?"
33656Will you please ring the bell?"
33656Wo n''t you try and help me think this thing out and decide what is best for them?"
33656Would n''t you just adore a caravan trip, girls?"
33656Would she have courage to announce before these strangers that she had no idea who her mother and father were nor from whence they had come?
33656Would you let me have a look over your ranch before I move on?
33656Would you like me to say it?"
33656Yet when and where had she seen her?
33656You''ve got something on your mind that you want to speak about, have n''t you?"
33656[ Illustration:"HOW COULD YOU, MISS BRUCE?"
26951''Brand''Trevison, eh?
26951''Firebrand''s''?

26951Burned the courthouse, did he? 26951 But money- making is the real motive, after all?"
26951But what is it?
26951Ca n''t this lawlessness be stopped?
26951Ca n''t you_ see_?
26951Can I see you tomorrow night?
26951Can you find him?
26951Clay''s?
26951Clever, eh?
26951Come to see the picnic? 26951 Corrigan planned it_ all_?"
26951Did Trevison tell you to tell me this?
26951Did he get it?
26951Did n''t he now? 26951 Did she marry a fellow named Harvey-- afterwards?
26951Did she tell Corrigan?
26951Did they take anything?
26951Did you call, Judge?
26951Did you think you could repose any confidence in a woman you have known only about a month? 26951 Do you keep much of it there?"
26951Do you reckon he got it?
26951Do you see that dark line over there?
26951Does the railroad own the town site?
26951Ever make the acquaintance of an Indian pueblo, Judge?
26951Fight?
26951Figure on attacking_ his_ title?
26951Going out, Croft?
26951Got plenty of tobacco?
26951Got them all transcribed?
26951Got your body- guard within call, eh?
26951Has it gone very far between them?
26951Have you got any understandin''with that railroad gang that they''re to do any minin''on the Diamond K range?
26951Have you heard what happened in Manti yesterday?
26951How big is his outfit?
26951How did he get his land?
26951How did it happen?
26951How did you discover that?
26951How did you know that was what happened to me?
26951How did you recognize me?
26951How do you know I borrowed a horse to come here?
26951How do you know that? 26951 How do you know?"
26951How do you purpose to bring it about?
26951How does old Benham take it?
26951How far is it to Blakeley''s ranchhouse?
26951How long ago?
26951How long has he been here?
26951How long have you lived out here?
26951How many people know that you have coal on your land, Trevison?
26951How many times has he been here?
26951How?
26951How?
26951How?
26951I am coming up,she called to the man on the crest;"do you mind?"
26951I mean-- what does he do? 26951 I presume you are connected with the railroad?"
26951I reckon you''re a heap dry an''hungry by this time?
26951I suppose this is all regular?
26951Is it?
26951It is a rather dramatic bid for your interest, is n''t it, Miss Benham?
26951It is n''t possible--"Why not?
26951It was fierce, was n''t it?
26951It''s Carson''s, eh?
26951It''s a great country, is n''t it?
26951It''s you, eh?
26951Jealous, eh?
26951Like it here, eh?
26951Look here,he said;"what''s wrong?
26951Looks like my trip to Santa Fe is off, eh?
26951Luck, eh?
26951Marchmont?
26951May I have one?
26951Mr. Levins is n''t here?
26951Nice night for a ride, was n''t it?
26951No one spoke?
26951Not to blame?
26951Oh,she said, awed;"is n''t it wonderful?"
26951Perhaps the long arm of power has reached to Santa Fe?
26951Ready?
26951See the courthouse and the bank?
26951Selfish?
26951Shall I get the boys an''go after them damn sneaks?
26951She''s boomin'', ai n''t she? 26951 She''s not for sale now-- eh, Nig?"
26951She''s_ that_ thick with Trevison, is she?
26951So she peached on you, eh? 26951 So you''re going to live out here?"
26951Some smoother there, eh? 26951 Tell me, Mrs. Levins; perhaps I can help you?"
26951That would be lawlessness, would it not?
26951That''s a swell Moll in number eleven, ai n''t it?
26951That''s what you wanted to know, is n''t it, Jeff-- what Braman told me? 26951 The chambers and tunnels connecting these communal houses-- they look like mud boxes, do n''t they, Judge?
26951The other forces?
26951Then he did n''t send for you?
26951Then of course you are going to stand with Mr. Corrigan against the present claimants?
26951Then you did n''t hear of Trevison''s whereabouts from Ruth Gresham?
26951Then you did n''t see the Judge last night-- or hear him?
26951Then your father is going to have a hand in the development of Manti? 26951 There is a measure that exceeds that, is n''t there?
26951There''s nothin''doin''there-- understand? 26951 They did n''t get into the safe, then?"
26951They''ve come back, eh?
26951This is your work, Corrigan-- I take it?
26951Trevison here?
26951Trevison tell me?
26951Trouble?
26951Want some? 26951 Was it legal?"
26951Was n''t that a rather abrupt leave- taking?
26951Well, what of it? 26951 Well,"he said when the Judge at last struggled and sat up;"how do you like it?
26951Well,she said, mimicking him;"I could_ never_ walk there, could I?
26951Well?
26951What about his cattle?
26951What are ye goin''to mine?
26951What are you doing here? 26951 What brought you here?
26951What do you know about her?
26951What do you know about that?
26951What do you mean?
26951What do you mean?
26951What do you mean?
26951What do you mean?
26951What do you want him for?
26951What does Trevison look like, Jeff-- tell me?
26951What does it all mean?
26951What does it mean?
26951What happened at Manti?
26951What happened?
26951What has happened?
26951What has happened?
26951What in hell are you doing here?
26951What in hell has this job got to do with that dobie pile?
26951What is Trevison?
26951What is it, Mrs. Levins? 26951 What is it, dear?"
26951What is there to take? 26951 What on earth could you have to say to a section boss-- or he to you?"
26951What owners will be affected?
26951What was he before he came here?
26951What you wantin''of him?
26951What''s Carson and his gang doing in town?
26951What''s Corrigan havin''the place watched for?
26951What''s the use, Hester?
26951What''s this?
26951What''s up?
26951What''s up?
26951What?
26951Whativer wud Corrigan be askin''about the dynamite for? 26951 When is Lindman coming?"
26951When was he here last?
26951Where did you get that book?
26951Where did you get your information?
26951Where did you hear that?
26951Where have you brought me?
26951Where is Corrigan? 26951 Where were you last night, Braman?"
26951Where''s Judge Lindman?
26951Where''s the original record?
26951Where''s the record?
26951Where?
26951Where?
26951Which way did she go?
26951Which way did they go?
26951Who are you?
26951Who done it?
26951Who got him?
26951Who has been at the bottom of all this lawlessness?
26951Who has been saying that?
26951Who owns the land?
26951Who''s got the key?
26951Who''s in here?
26951Who?
26951Why delay?
26951Why did n''t you tell me before?
26951Why the high moral attitude, Judge? 26951 Why the pity?"
26951Why was n''t Levins arrested?
26951Why-- why-- I thought-- Didn''t they--"Did n''t they tell you? 26951 Will father be interested in those things?"
26951Wo n''t you get off your horse?
26951Wo n''t you go with me for a short ride?
26951Wo n''t you kiss me-- once, Trev? 26951 Wo n''t you welcome me, Trev?
26951Would n''t work, eh? 26951 Would your men have used their guns?"
26951Wud ye be havin''anny idee who done it?
26951Y- es?
26951Ye woudn''t be sayin''that ye''ll be diggin''for coal on the railroad''s right av way, wud ye?
26951Yes, yes,she said, astonished;"but how do you know?"
26951Yes-- do you know her?
26951You burned it, eh?
26951You did n''t hear him walking about during the night?
26951You did n''t tell him about his son being out here?
26951You do n''t expect the present owners to yield their titles without a fight, do you?
26951You do n''t mean that you are going to extort money from them-- after they have gone to the expense of erecting buildings?
26951You have permission to begin this work, I suppose?
26951You know I have appealed the case?
26951You like this country, ma''am?
26951You over- slept this morning, ladies-- don''t you think? 26951 You quit without a fight, eh?"
26951You saw the figure on the check, did n''t you? 26951 You want the good news, eh?
26951You will take it all?
26951You would place money- making before love?
26951You''re a pretty good friend of mine, now, and maybe if I''d give you a tip you''d throw something in my way later on-- eh?
26951You''re awake, eh?
26951You''re deputies, eh? 26951 You''re rather a heavy sleeper, eh?
26951You''re sure you do n''t care for Trevison any more-- that you''re only taking his end of this because of what he''s been to you in the past?
26951You-- you knew Corrigan before-- before you came here?
26951You_ can_ guess intelligently, ca n''t you?
26951Your knowledge of firearms convinces you that you ca n''t run as fast as a rifle bullet, does n''t it, Judge?
26951''How much do ye kape av it?''
26951A breeze carried a whisper to her as she sat at the window:"Where''s''Firebrand''now?"
26951A cup of tea?"
26951About some land, is n''t it?
26951Ai n''t he a darlin''?"
26951An''killed Braman?
26951An''the bank?
26951And a rifle in the hands of a man with a yearning to use it would make_ that_ approach pretty unsafe, would n''t it?"
26951As in old times, eh?"
26951Be careful, Trev-- very careful, wo n''t you?"
26951But I do n''t think you understand what you''re up against-- do you?
26951But Trevison_ does_ look to be the sort of a man who would abduct a judge, does n''t he?
26951But did n''t I know he wud?
26951But how much land does he own?"
26951But just the same, dearie, we women like to hear them murmur those little heroic things, do n''t we?
26951But of course_ that_ is an eastern company, is n''t it?"
26951But she shows speed, do n''t she?"
26951But this is a court record, is n''t it?"
26951But what if Corrigan knew of the existence of the original record?
26951CHAPTER XVI WHEREIN A WOMAN LIES"Are n''t you going to welcome me, dearie?"
26951Ca n''t you be with him more, to try to keep him straight for the sake of the children?"
26951Ca n''t you help him to be strong, Mr. Trevison?
26951Corrigan wasted no words:"Who''s the best gun- man in this section?"
26951Corrigan?"
26951Could she borrow one of their horses, and a guide?
26951Could you recommend a horse that would be as trustworthy as the escort you have promised me?"
26951Could you tell me what possible interest I could have in wanting Marchmont killed?
26951Did you hear of me shootin''that sneak, Marchmont?"
26951Did you think she would n''t tell me-- her promised husband?
26951Do n''t you know that this record will ruin him?"
26951Do n''t you see?
26951Do n''t you think so?"
26951Do n''t you think, Miss Rosalind, that Levins''reference to his sister discloses the real reason for the man''s action?
26951Do you know what Corrigan done, yesterday?
26951Do you know what he''s doin''?
26951Do you know what that means?
26951Do you know where it is?"
26951Do you promise not to betray us?"
26951Do you reckon we''ve got to go back to Levins''shack an''tell his wife that we let them skunks get away after makin''orphants of her kids?"
26951Do you remember my pointing out Hester Keyes''''fellow''?
26951Do you remember you mentioned that he once loved a woman named Hester Keyes?
26951Do you think I will see it go_ without_ a fight?"
26951Do you think she would hesitate to sacrifice a clod- hopper like you?
26951Do you think you can cover that slope, so they ca n''t get up there while I''m reconnoitering?
26951Do you want to explore the place?
26951Folks are slicker?"
26951For the sake of old times?"
26951Friend of yours, eh?"
26951Had Corrigan also some knowledge of the rider''s pilgrimages past the car window?
26951Had Trevison forgotten Hester Keyes?
26951Had he always lived in the West?
26951Harvey?"
26951Has Trevison passed here within the last hour or so?"
26951Has anything happened?"
26951Has anything happened?"
26951Have ye bargained wid him for it?"
26951Have you any idea who did it?"
26951Have you heard from Washington?"
26951Have you?"
26951He died soon after?"
26951He regretted that other crime; why should this man deliberately remind him of it?
26951He stroked her hair, then held her off for a good look at her, and inquired, unctuously:"What are you doing in town so early, my dear?"
26951How did you get in?
26951How much do you know of what has been going on here?"
26951How much do you want?"
26951How much money is there in the safe?"
26951How''s a man to tell about''em?"
26951How, my dear?"
26951I ai n''t had any sleep in-- Your answer?
26951I am sure there was-- or is-- but I have forgotten?"
26951I could n''t figger it out-- what in hell was it, anyway?"
26951I could n''t want him after that, could I?"
26951I reckon you did n''t stop anywheres?"
26951I wonder if Hester Keyes knows what she has missed?"
26951If I were a girl, and felt that he were in love with me, I''d be mighty careful--""That he would n''t abduct you?"
26951If there''s anything I can do for you, why--""Mr.''Brand''Trevison?"
26951If they''d have been hangin''around they''d sure have got_ you_, comin''up here, would n''t they?"
26951In each case the conversation was the same:"Do you own this property?"
26951In one place she wrote:"Do you remember Hester Keyes''love affair of ten years ago?
26951Is his ranch far?
26951Is it in the safe?"
26951Is it logical to suppose that he would lend his influence and his good name to any such ridiculous scheme?"
26951Is it necessary for you to know what for?
26951Is it true?"
26951Is n''t that a sad sentiment?
26951Is there any crime in that?
26951Lefingwell was watching Trevison''s face closely, and when he saw it whiten, he muttered, understandingly:"You''ve got it, too, eh?"
26951Like you?
26951Makes you think of your school days, does n''t it?
26951My God, you''ll never say I told you-- will you?
26951No?
26951Not a pleasant place to sojourn in until-- How long can a man live without eating, Judge?
26951Now what do ye suppose that gang av min wid Winchesters was doin'', comin''from thot direction this mornin''?"
26951Now what in hell do you think of that?"
26951She remarked, musingly:"The inevitable hum- drum days, eh?
26951She remembered what Corrigan had told her, and blushingly dissembled:"I put no faith in rumor-- do you?
26951She was conscious, though, of a slight pique-- what possible reason could he have for evasion?
26951Should he return for help, or should he secrete himself somewhere and watch?
26951Since the Blakeley''s are anxious to sell out and return South, do n''t you think you had better conclude the deal at once?
26951So Trevison worshiped there, did he?
26951So you understand, eh?
26951So you were watching me?"
26951Still he got a good grip on himself before he attempted to answer, and then his voice was low and intoned with casual surprise:"Trying to cheat them?
26951Tell me about it-- won''t you, dearie?"
26951Ten years is_ such_ a long time, is n''t it?
26951That guy Trevison must have old Benham''s goat, eh?"
26951That is-- Why, what on earth brought you out here?"
26951That''s a human weakness, is n''t it?
26951That''s a woman, ai n''t it?
26951That''s all you care about, is n''t it?"
26951That''s understood, eh?
26951The fire, the blood on your hand, the record, your ride here-- What does it mean?"
26951The good for you?
26951The moonlight shone on him; he heard Levins exclaim sharply:"Your arm''s busted, ai n''t it?"
26951The show will open pretty soon now, eh?"
26951The wick fell into the oil, and I could n''t delay to--""Was anybody hurt-- besides you?"
26951Then the man who had spoken first stepped to the edge of the cut and called:"What do you want?"
26951Then where did you come from?"
26951There is no such record?"
26951They''re after our boss, eh?
26951They''re going to arrest--""So she squealed, did she?"
26951Trev-- won''t you welcome me?"
26951Under the bottom drawer, eh?"
26951Was he badly hurt-- do you know?"
26951Was n''t there a Persian measure somewhat longer, fathered by Herodotus or another of the ancients?
26951Was there a secret understanding between Corrigan and Agatha?
26951Watching Trevison, he spoke to Braman:"You got a back room here?"
26951We would n''t have to change the brand, would we?
26951Well, you slope-- you hear?
26951What did Trevison want in the courthouse?"
26951What did he say?"
26951What do you want to chin about?"
26951What happened?"
26951What has happened?"
26951What have I done to deserve it?"
26951What have you been doing to yourself?"
26951What in hell do you think of that?
26951What is it?"
26951What is it?"
26951What right had he to question her integrity to make such speeches to her after his disgraceful affair with Hester Harvey?
26951What was she to believe from this night''s events?
26951What''s in there?"
26951When did you come?"
26951Where are they?"
26951Where in hell you been keepin''yourself?
26951Where''s Ed?
26951Where''s Trevison?"
26951Where''s Trevison?"
26951Where''s''Firebrand''?
26951While he watched, he saw Corrigan''s lips open:"Where''s the board telephone, Braman?"
26951Who told you we were here?"
26951Who told you?"
26951Who wrote that letter, from Dry Bottom?"
26951Who''s comin''along?"
26951Why did Mr. Corrigan destroy the check?"
26951Why do you avoid me?
26951Why not use the English mile if the American does n''t satisfy?"
26951Why on earth are you riding around at this hour of the night?"
26951Why should you bury yourself here?
26951Why, where would you expect a man to be that''d burned up a courthouse an''a bank an''salivated a banker?
26951Wo n''t you come over to my room with me and have something to brace you up?
26951Wo n''t you sit down?"
26951Would he?
26951Would the Judge reveal the identity of his early- morning visitor?
26951Wud ye be expictin''him to fall over in a faint on beholdin''the wreck?"
26951Ye''ve nivver seen him up close, eh Murph''?
26951You came to warn me?
26951You can not forget the night you met William Kinkaid?
26951You had no knowledge of it, Father?"
26951You have no record of any transfers from the Midland to the present claimants or their predecessors, have you?
26951You know, of course, that the Indians selected an elevated and isolated site, such as this, because of its strategical advantages?
26951You saw Trevison last night, eh?
26951You thought you could dupe me--_again_, did n''t you?
26951You want my land, eh?"
26951You''re in charge, eh?"
26951he said;"what''s happened?"
26951he said;"why not?"
26951said Agatha, coldly;"of course you made sure of_ that_?"
26951she asked;"why not?"
26951she said to him, her voice quavering;"_ must_ I tell you?"
26951that makes you squirm, does n''t it?
27521''Bout them tents?
27521''Savee''means''sense,''does n''t it?
27521An''--an''what''s her name?
27521An''if ther''was?
27521An''the fi''dollar?
27521An''the note?
27521An''you''ve figgered out my danger?
27521And I''m to go away from-- here?
27521And all this money is what you once spoke about?
27521And how long have you known-- that I''m not Rosebud?
27521And hundreds, thousands, of steers and cows? 27521 And if we go under, Seth?"
27521And mother?
27521And my sister, Wanaha?
27521And the soldiers are near?
27521And what are they?
27521And what made her think so?
27521And whither would they go, this white brother and his squaw?
27521And you do n''t think anything will come of it?
27521And you think it''s my duty to go?
27521Any name?
27521Are n''t they lovely? 27521 Are n''t they lovely?"
27521Are you sure I sha n''t be in the way? 27521 But the question is, who?
27521But you guess?
27521But you guessed it long before that-- when we were out at the slough?
27521But you never looked round?
27521But-- but your-- property?
27521Ca n''t you see what''s goin''to come? 27521 Ca n''t you see, Rube?"
27521Cattle?
27521Cord- wood?
27521Did you bring a hoe out for me?
27521Did you have to help him out, Ma?
27521Do n''t Indians eat people, mamma?
27521Do n''t you know wher''she come from?
27521Do you think there is anything-- moving? 27521 Does he, my dear?"
27521Done up, auntie? 27521 Eh?"
27521Eh?
27521Eh?
27521Fancy the Injuns are on the racket?
27521Feelin''kind o''mean?
27521Fi''dollar?
27521For the stockade?
27521Friends-- dollars?
27521Gettin''fixin''s?
27521Getting on with the logs?
27521Goin''?
27521Goin''to the river?
27521Guess ther''was suthin''in that letter you did n''t read, Ma?
27521Guess you was goin''to write some?
27521Guess you''ve all located your dollops o''candy?
27521Happy?
27521Have you a notion to try?
27521Have you discovered anything?
27521He lives that way, does n''t he?
27521Help him? 27521 Home?"
27521How did you get wounded?
27521How did you know I was here?
27521How would you like a house, a big house, like-- White River Farm?
27521How''d you come, Rosie?
27521How''d you know?
27521How''d you like a heap o''dollars?
27521How''s this?
27521How?
27521How?
27521How?
27521How?
27521How?
27521How?
27521Howdy?
27521Hurt some?
27521I wonder if you''d help me to do something I want to do very much?
27521I wonder what he''d say if he knew what I''ve promised Wana?
27521I?
27521In my world?
27521Injuns ai n''t workin''well?
27521Is it Joe Smith''s outfit?
27521Is it as bad as that?
27521Is she alive?
27521It good?
27521It is Big Wolf---- What?
27521It''s because-- Seth, why do the Indians hate you? 27521 Just what?"
27521Kind o''busy?
27521Kind o''how we''ve figgered right along?
27521La sakes, boy, what''s-- what''s this?
27521Making a fort of it?
27521Many huntin''''passes''these times?
27521May I read that letter, Seth?
27521May n''t I come in?
27521Maybe you''ll write some?
27521My Wana does not like Little Black Fox to think of Rosebud, eh?
27521My brother would go from his friends? 27521 My dear, why not your world also?
27521My duty, the same as it was your duty always to help me out when I got into some scrape?
27521No brave to help her?
27521No?
27521Pretty tidy sort o''fellers, eh?
27521Prowling, Seth?
27521Quite sure?
27521Rosebud?
27521Rube Sampson''s farm?
27521Say, Rube,she said, looking up after heading her note- paper,"how d''you think it''ll fix her when she hears?"
27521Say, boy,the old man went on, some minutes later,"guess you ai n''t yarned a heap''bout your shootin''racket?"
27521Say, ken y''spare an hour or so?
27521See you, Rosie, ef I go out o''here presently, will you jest close these gates an''fix''em? 27521 Seen anything of Steyne around?"
27521Seth has found Rosebud''s-- folk?
27521Seth-- dear-- you will help me? 27521 Shall we pull through, Seth?"
27521So my name''s Marjorie Raynor?
27521So the whole thing''s a dead cinch for her?
27521Some''un wantin''us?
27521Something very, very particular?
27521That has always been a trouble between us, has n''t it?
27521That you, Seth?
27521That''s all you care for, eh?
27521The man would be a silly, would n''t he?
27521Them logs?
27521Then I s''pose you''ve found out her real name?
27521Then Ma wrote an''told her?
27521Then why-- may I not talk to them? 27521 There ai n''t nothin''fresh?"
27521There was no one by to warn the squaw?
27521There''s another reason?
27521This is our home, is n''t it?
27521Time? 27521 Too strong?"
27521Up? 27521 Wal?
27521Wal?
27521Wal?
27521Wal?
27521Wana,she went on abruptly,"why did you send for me to- day?
27521War- path-- you shot Big Wolf?
27521We''re quittin''the farm?
27521Well, dearie,he said cheerfully to his wife,"how do you like the prairie?"
27521Well, who did it?
27521Well?
27521Well?
27521Well?
27521Well?
27521Well?
27521Well?
27521What are you goin''to do with her?
27521What are you listening for?
27521What danger? 27521 What did you mean about the Indians, mamma?"
27521What do you think will happen?
27521What for?
27521What is it I must say to you?
27521What is it? 27521 What is it?"
27521What is it?
27521What is that smoke on the horizon, Jim?
27521What on earth do you mean, auntie?
27521What position have I but that which these dear people have helped me to-- that Seth, himself, has made for me? 27521 What then?"
27521What then?
27521What you find?
27521What''s a''hobo,''Seth?
27521What''s all this for, Seth?
27521What''s brought you around?
27521What''s makin''you laff, Ma?
27521What''s up?
27521What, Seth writing?
27521Whatever did I do with it?
27521Wher''s Rube now?
27521Where are you going?
27521Where do we sleep to- night?
27521Where''s Ma?
27521Where''s your brother, now?
27521Where-- where did you git her?
27521Who is she?
27521Who is she?
27521Who put these crazy notions into your head, Rosebud?
27521Who then?
27521Who was it from?
27521Who''s for it? 27521 Why are you so grumpy with me, Seth?"
27521Why ca n''t you find some one who will try to get through to the troops? 27521 Why do n''t you have some place to tie a horse to?"
27521Why should I, child?
27521Why you not sleep, my Nevil? 27521 Why, Seth,"she cried, in a tone of great pity and alarm that deceived even Rube,"what''s the matter that you look so ill?"
27521Why, s''pose it happened you inherited them dollars?
27521Why?
27521Yes,she continued,"after all it wo n''t be so dreadful, will it?
27521Yes; but why?
27521Yes?
27521Yet you pow- wow with him? 27521 You ai n''t traipsed from Beacon?"
27521You come? 27521 You go by Reservation?"
27521You go-- alone?
27521You know?
27521You mean I''m to go away?
27521You mean?
27521You will eat?
27521You would be-- a squaw?
27521You''re feelin''easy?
27521You''re goin''to stay right here?
27521You''re quittin''the Reservation?
27521You''ve located the name of the farm on top, an''the State, an''the date?
27521_ Au revoir_, eh?
27521After all, what is the old life?
27521Ah, more candy?"
27521Always Rosebud?"
27521An''how d''you find out?"
27521An''if we had?"
27521An''will you be up to open''em for me?"
27521And all the friends of my white brother?"
27521And buggies to ride in?
27521And do you remember when you pulled down the old granary, and built the new one in the shape of an elevator?
27521And do you remember, Ma would n''t speak to us for a whole day because we pulled the old hen- roost to pieces and established the hogs there?
27521And farm machinery?
27521And for what?"
27521And was n''t it nice of him, Seth?
27521And you''ll help me?"
27521And you''re not grumpy with me either, are you?
27521And, Seth, if I promise not to go to the Reservation without some one, will you promise me not to go there without me?
27521And, of course, I''m not married yet, am I?"
27521And-- and plenty of fine clothes to wear, like-- like Rosebud?"
27521Anything more?"
27521Are n''t they, Seth?
27521Are you ready?
27521Auntie can go back when she likes, but this is my home, and-- Seth, why do you always want to be rid of me?"
27521Besides----""Besides----?"
27521But she was all interest, for had not the man appealed to her for help?
27521But, above all, was it not for him?
27521But----""What do you know, boy?"
27521CHAPTER XVII THE LETTER FROM ENGLAND"La, child, an''why did you go for to do it?"
27521Ca n''t I reconnoitre, or-- or something in the meantime?"
27521Can I do nothing to atone for what I have done?
27521Did you ever fire a gun, ma''am?"
27521Did you ever know a gal who did n''t help her''beau''out?
27521Did you hear or see anything?"
27521Do you know she goes to the Mission because she loves it?
27521Do you know the source of the trouble?
27521Do you know what store I could send to in Sioux City, or Omaha, or even New York?"
27521Do you suppose I do n''t know?"
27521Do you think I''m getting any better with a hoe?"
27521Do you think somebody with a title would marry me, Seth?"
27521Do you?"
27521Do you?"
27521Dollars?
27521Eh, old man?"
27521Even now I am not altogether sure it''s right by the girl''s dead father-- but----""But----?"
27521For Seth, who shall say what that dreadful period of suspense must have been?
27521For have not these strange beings power to invoke the spirits, to drive away evil influence from the path of him whose approach they herald?
27521Ha''y''got your gun?"
27521Had not Nevil seen the gravity of the matter?
27521Has she told you about it?"
27521Hev you been through one o''them Injun risings?"
27521How could it be Rosebud-- and on foot?
27521How did you know?"
27521How ken I?
27521How many rows do you think I could do before tea?"
27521How would you like to make hay in these lovely open fields, Marjorie?"
27521How?
27521I mean for the fight?"
27521I mean the headquarters?"
27521I wonder if all the people who do their duty feel like that about things?
27521I wonder where he goes?"
27521I wonder why?"
27521I wonder,"Mrs. Rickards went on thoughtfully,"if Seth ever wants rest and peace?
27521I''lows Seth would hate to worrit Rosie wi''things, but as I said we''ve got our dooty, an''it seems----""Dooty?"
27521In the interests of the Indians?
27521Is it for him to marry her?
27521Is n''t she a dear?"
27521Is that how?"
27521Is that it?"
27521Is that right, Rosie?"
27521Is there no help?
27521It was a sight to put fear into the heart of a daring man, then how much more so into the heart of a frail woman?
27521It''s always been like this, has n''t it?
27521Maybe you sent it along?"
27521Mebbe I''ll show it around-- eh, what''s up?"
27521Mebbe you''d notion a contrac''?"
27521No?"
27521Now how much will buy a nice ranch?"
27521Now you go?"
27521Now, Mrs. Sampson, I ask you, what am I to do?
27521Now, what else?
27521On this night?"
27521Presently he asked,"Have you been there?"
27521Rosebud?
27521Savee?
27521Say, Dan Lawson, you living that way, ai n''t it right that Jason''s got a couple of hundred beeves in his corrals?"
27521Say, Seth, boy, you wo n''t give me away?
27521See?
27521Seth''s been mighty sick, but he''s right enough now, ai n''t you, Seth, boy?"
27521Seth, do you believe in foreboding?"
27521Seth, shall we get out of this trouble?"
27521Seth, why do n''t you kill me?"
27521Since I''ve grown up, of course, things have changed, have n''t they?"
27521So?"
27521Sure I''m not troubling you?"
27521That could be altered, eh?"
27521That is-- you won''t-- you wo n''t turn me out, Pa, will you?
27521The money is n''t mine, is it?
27521The troops have n''t been sent for, have they?"
27521Then after a pause he asked,"What''s your work now?"
27521Then he asked hastily,"Which way was she headin''?"
27521Then, a moment later, Seth asked suddenly:"How far from here to-- Jason''s old place?"
27521Then,"Wal?"
27521Tired of it?
27521Tired?
27521Tired?"
27521Up?
27521Was it not for Rosebud?
27521We''re farmers, are n''t we, Seth?
27521We''ve done our duty, have n''t we?"
27521What are our chances?"
27521What are these?"
27521What do I want with dollars?
27521What do you suppose she replied?"
27521What do you think of it?"
27521What do you think she said to me half an hour ago?
27521What fixed you to get askin''that?"
27521What if her cousin''s household were thrown into confusion by her going?
27521What if there were invitations to social functions accepted?
27521What if to carry it out she must act a lie?
27521What is it?"
27521What is the result?
27521What makes you think so?"
27521What of them?
27521What the devil is his object?"
27521What was the meaning of it all?
27521What''s dollars when folks love?
27521What''s up?"
27521What-- what have I done?"
27521Where are they, and why do n''t they come out and look for me?
27521Who would blame her if she were successful?
27521Why did he keep the white girl alive?"
27521Why do you look for them?
27521Why does Little Black Fox hate you?"
27521Why has this little man come out here to disturb me?
27521Why should I take a share when you and your wife, and your brat are the only people who stand between me and the lot?"
27521Why should they?
27521Why the fun''s only just beginning, is n''t it, Seth?
27521Why was Jim Crow shadowing him?
27521Why, out of all the people she has met since she has been with me, who do you think she encourages?
27521Why?
27521Why?
27521Why?"
27521Will you mail it?"
27521Will you promise me, Seth-- dear old Seth?"
27521Writin''?"
27521Yes?
27521Yes?"
27521You remember?
27521You say''yes''when he talks of Rosebud?"
27521You see nothing else matters, does it?"
27521You see?
27521You will be my-- partner in the ranch?"
27521You wo n''t turn me out, Pa, will you?"
27521You''ll stay and have food?"
27521You''re goin''to make north hard as hell''ll let you, savee?
27521You''ve been south?"
27521Your life, I mean?"
27521got around?"
27521what''s the use of talking?
27521you''ll help me, wo n''t you?
31512A fellow could n''t help but feel good with a sister like that-- now could he?
31512A newspaper in this country? 31512 An''so you''re lookin''for action?
31512And that?
31512And you think you''d be disgraced if folks knowed you was a friend of mine?
31512Are you Judge Graney?
31512But how did you discover that?
31512But if you knowed why did n''t you slope?
31512But what are you goin''to do with the cuss?
31512Comparin''her with your little old East?
31512Damn your hide, why do n''t you shoot?
31512Dead?
31512Did n''t you hear me?
31512Did you happen to hear when these laws become effective?
31512Do n''t you think there are times when one''s thoughts find expression in one''s eyes? 31512 Do n''t you want none of it?"
31512Do you intend to go there-- to the sheriff''s office-- to- night?
31512Do you mind directing me to the courthouse?
31512Do you really think Dunlavey will carry out his threat?
31512Do you think it is always necessary to speak?
31512Do you think it necessary for me to tell you that-- again?
31512Do you think that I am the same as before?
31512Do you think there''s a chance for us to beat Dunlavey?
31512Dunlavey,he said quietly,"what is the actual value of the Circle Bar ranch?"
31512Easier?
31512Fire eater, ai n''t he?
31512Girl willin''?
31512Got a newspaper?
31512Have they started?
31512Have you got nerve enough to pass the_ Kicker_ around to the people of this town?
31512He said something about running you and your brother out of the country,he said;"of course you wo n''t allow him to do that?"
31512How do you know that?
31512How far from here?
31512How long ago did you hear this?
31512How many men does Dunlavey employ?
31512How many of you offered to help my father when he came to you asking for assistance in his fight against Dunlavey?
31512How many_ Kickers_ did you sell?
31512How stealin''them?
31512How you findin''things?
31512Hurts, does it?
31512I do n''t reckon anyone ast you to stick your gab in this here affair?
31512I do n''t reckon that you''re much stuck on this here country-- much as you''ve seen of it?
31512I reckon she''s goin''to be some hot tonight?
31512I reckon there''s folks which would call that a right clever bit of shootin'',he said,"seem''a?
31512I reckon this is some of your work?
31512I reckon you know-- you girl that understan''?
31512I reckon you might say you did n''t know nothin''about us hangin''him?
31512I suppose it must have been you?
31512I suppose you are Ten Spot?
31512I suppose you are going to take the express?
31512I suppose you have received your notification to that effect?
31512I suppose you know who you''re going to give your water to?
31512I suppose you refer to Yuma Ed and Dunlavey?
31512I suppose you''ve come to collect that thrashing?
31512I suppose you''ve read Ace''s poem in the Kicker?
31512I suppose your name is Potter?
31512If Dunlavey starts anything what are you going to do?
31512If you think it is n''t true, why do n''t you ride over to the Circle Bar and inquire?
31512Interesting, is n''t it?
31512Is it you? 31512 Is n''t there an army post near?"
31512Jim Hollis''s boy?
31512Just come in?
31512Leave heem?
31512Meanin''?
31512Meanin''that you''re some sore because you ai n''t got hooked up yet?
31512Meaning that you wo n''t sell, I suppose?
31512Meaning what?
31512Meaning?
31512Mister Hollis,he added, as the latter looked quickly at him,"you ai n''t heard nothin''from the Circle Bar to- day, I reckon?"
31512My new boss?
31512No?
31512Not Jim Hollis''s son?
31512Not me?
31512Now where in thunder did I get that?
31512Now why in hell would a man get so damned excited over hearin''that someone was goin''to string up a measly rustler?
31512Of course I am not mistaken?
31512Of your own, perhaps?
31512Perhaps Norton can answer that?
31512Perhaps this very estimable person holds other views?
31512Potter,he remarked,"I suppose there is n''t a good brain specialist in this section of the country?"
31512See the notice on the door?
31512Shall I read it aloud?
31512So he got you too, did he, Yuma?
31512So that''s the how of it?
31512So you did come, after all?
31512So you''re Jim Hollis''s boy?
31512So you''re going to leave the country?
31512So you''re lookin''for action?
31512So you''re sure enough going to run?
31512So you''re thinking of thrashing me?
31512Sort of unexpected, was n''t it, Bill?
31512Started?
31512Stranger here?
31512Struck him?
31512Takin''the view?
31512Tenderfoot, ai n''t you? 31512 Then women do not interest you?"
31512Then you ai n''t changed your mind about stayin''here?
31512Then you are not a Westerner?
31512Then you wo n''t object to being the_ Kicker''s_ candidate?
31512Then you''re not going back to the Circle Cross-- to work for Dunlavey?
31512Then your men did n''t really see him doin''the brandin''?
31512Then your original decision about remaining here has been-- well, strengthened?
31512They see him brandin''?
31512Tried to get you drunk, did they?
31512Us?
31512Using it?
31512We have a sheriff in Dry Bottom, I expect?
31512Well,he snapped,"what''s the charge?"
31512Went in for athletics-- football, and such?
31512What are we going to do with Yuma''s horse?
31512What are you doing here?
31512What are you doing here?
31512What are you going to do with this damn newspaper?
31512What are your intentions regarding the newspaper-- the_ Kicker_?
31512What do you want?
31512What have you done with Hollis, you mangy son- of- a- gun?
31512What is all this about, Norton?
31512What is the condition of Circle Bar ranch at present?
31512What particular result did my father desire?
31512What you got to say about this, Greasy?
31512What you wantin''to telegraph?
31512What''s goin''to be done with that noospaper of his''n?
31512What''s he done?
31512What''s up?
31512Where are the other men-- Train and the rest?
31512Who are you?
31512Who has been saying that?
31512Who might you be?
31512Why did n''t you say something before?
31512Why did you leave him? 31512 Why in hell did n''t some of you damned fools tear this down?"
31512Why should I volunteer to help you fight Dunlavey? 31512 Why?"
31512Why?
31512Why?
31512Will he come?
31512Wo n''t you get off your horse?
31512Would you advise me to sell?
31512You are the new owner of the Circle Bar, are n''t you?
31512You are the sheriff, I suppose?
31512You do n''t happen to know how father happened to think that a newspaper would pay-- in this place?
31512You do n''t?
31512You ever handle one of them?
31512You gittin''out that there paper to- day, mister?
31512You going to stay in this here country?
31512You got anything more to say about it?
31512You havin''yours now?
31512You heard what he-- Big Bill Dunlavey-- said about my brother?
31512You reckon she''ll miss fire till he''s well again?
31512You wantin''the sheriff?
31512You were watching him,she added, looking suddenly at him;"did you find him as he is or did he attack you?
31512You''re Hollis, of the Circle Bar, ai n''t you?
31512You''re Jim Hollis''s boy, ai n''t you?
31512Your ambition?
31512And I presume you are going to live here?"
31512And what have we done?"
31512And you think that any man who uses a gun on another is a coward?"
31512At another time Norton broke the silence long enough to inquire:"I reckon mebbe you would n''t have hit him so hard if you''d knowed who he was?"
31512But I take it none of you want to make me appear ridiculous?"
31512But did you ever know anyone in real life to make love to a girl any different than anyone else?"
31512But how did you happen to see me go down to the court house?"
31512But how did you know it?
31512But to whom did the other horse belong?
31512But which way?"
31512But which way?"
31512But who?
31512Come out here to try an''show folks how to run things?"
31512Did Dunlavey know who had slugged him?
31512Did it mean that Ten Spot had come to assist Dunlavey in nominating Watkins and defeating his new employer?
31512Did this same planet hold the busy cities to which he had been accustomed?
31512Do n''t want anything to do with me at all?"
31512Do you happen to know whether the editor of the_ Kicker_ is going to use the express?"
31512Do you think he ought?"
31512Do you think he will?"
31512Had Dunlavey succeeded in bribing Ten Spot to desert him?
31512Had Ten Spot come?
31512Had Yuma picked it up?
31512Had it been all on account of gratitude?
31512Had she done right in allowing Hollis to see that she was interested in him?
31512Had this conversation taken place two months before Hollis might have answered, Why, indeed, were men so eager to engage a boss?
31512Have Norton and the Judge been talking?"
31512He had considered the man''s action merely a ruse, but why should he attempt it after he had once had an opportunity to make use of his rifle?
31512He turned to Watkins, speaking with broad insinuation:"Of course you are putting a charge against Greasy, Watkins?"
31512Hollis?"
31512How did you know that I would n''t turn you into a colander when you give me back my gun?"
31512I am going to repeat it: Why should I not be selfish, as you men were when my father went to you for assistance?"
31512I expect I might be able to get hold of that printer-- Potter I believe you called him?"
31512I reckon that goes?"
31512I reckon you ai n''t been watchin''her for the last day or so?"
31512I reckon you git me?"
31512I reckon you two----""I suppose you got the mail?"
31512I suppose you do n''t make a secret of your age?"
31512I suppose you''ve got him over to your shack?"
31512If I had turned you loose after taking your gun what would you have done?"
31512Illustration:"What have you done with Hollis?"
31512Is it true that the_ Kicker_ is going to be a permanent institution?"
31512Is that correct?"
31512It is magnificent, is n''t it?"
31512Just how much money did you receive for the two hundred and ten papers?"
31512Like dogs?"
31512Motherly?
31512My name''s Jiggs Lenehan-- mebbe you''ve heard of me?"
31512Norton''s only comment upon seeing the troopers had been:"Where in hell did them come from?"
31512Not a very cheerful prospect?"
31512Or was it hidden in the basin, in the great, green sweep that basked in the eternal sunlight?
31512Perhaps he had gone?
31512Shall I-- free and unbossed-- admit inferiority?"
31512That''s the way with lots of things, ai n''t it?"
31512The tawny mountains, immutable guardians of the basin, whose peaks rose somberly in the twilight glow-- did they hold it?
31512Then the young man heard the big man''s voice:"So you do n''t take kindly to my courting?
31512Then we look upon God''s work and immediately a still, small voice within us cries:''What have ye done in comparison to this?''
31512Then what?"
31512Through whose windows came the incessant clamor that welled up from the streets below?
31512Usually before an election there is a primary, or a convention, is there not?"
31512Was Yuma at the horses?
31512Was n''t it simply_ great_ of him to take such an interest in us?"
31512Was n''t there somebody in Dry Bottom that you could have sent out here to tell me?"
31512What I am trying to get at is this: what would the Circle Bar bring in cash if the Cattlemen''s Association ceased to be a factor in the county?"
31512What did it mean?
31512What did the man hope to gain by defying the law?
31512What did they know of this world of eternal sunlight, of infinite distance?
31512What had been the outcome of the meeting?
31512What have I done to him?"
31512What is it?"
31512What is the custom out here?"
31512What secret did they guard?
31512What then becomes of his much talked of superiority?
31512What town near here compares with Dry Bottom in size?"
31512What''s your game?"
31512When we can not conceal them-- no matter how hard we try?
31512Where did you bury him?"
31512Why do they shine so bright?
31512Why had Hollis shown an interest in her?
31512Why in hell do n''t it rain?"
31512Why should I not be selfish, as you men were when my father went to you for assistance?"
31512Wo n''t you read it?"
31512Would he make war upon Dunlavey in defense of the men who had refused aid to his father in time of need?
31512Would he scare?
31512Would he think less of her for revealing this interest?
31512Would that be sufficient?
31512Would there not be profit enough in the cattle business when conducted honestly?
31512Yet what sort of woman would hitch her pony in front of a saloon?
29818Ai n''t you never heard of her? 29818 And it''s hard on you, is n''t it, boy?
29818And so, I suppose, showing superior knowledge, you will demonstrate that the men before you were a set of dubs? 29818 And that I was to be kept above ground?"
29818And that is all? 29818 And thirty feet, about, would bring us to the seven- hundred- foot mark?"
29818And told her that her father was under us?
29818Anybody get out at all?
29818Are you all right?
29818Are you for lettin''''em get away with it? 29818 Be you the bosses?"
29818Bein''held up, am I?
29818But I thought you said they were heading for some other ground?
29818But about what?
29818But do n''t you think I''m right?
29818But how did they get him?
29818But how does this news leak out?
29818But how should I know how much it amounts to, even if I do find out that some of my men drove into the Cross pay?
29818But if it failed?
29818But what has that to do with us?
29818But what interests me most is how you knew?
29818But who could it be?
29818But you know the old idea-- that she gets richer as we go down?
29818Ca n''t you tell me, old man? 29818 Can we change it?"
29818Curt enough, at least, is n''t he?
29818Did you go down, Jim?
29818Did you work on the Rattler?
29818Do for me? 29818 Do we get permission to go on the claim?"
29818Does any one know this country here?
29818Does n''t it seem so to you, Bill?
29818For heaven''s sake, how do you figure that out?
29818Give me room, boys, wo n''t you?
29818Give us a hand here, will you? 29818 Good of him, was n''t it?"
29818Got us? 29818 Had your supper?"
29818Half owner? 29818 Hardly know the place now, eh?"
29818Have you finished work on your pipe line?
29818Have you met Bully Presby yet?
29818Have you seen Bells?
29818Have you seen Bill?
29818He ai n''t the only Presby in this whole United States, is he? 29818 He is?"
29818Hear that?
29818Him? 29818 Him?
29818How am I to know that?
29818How does she dope out?
29818How far over is it?
29818How is the sump hole under the shaft?
29818I s''pose you know that no one''s allowed on the Cross ground, do n''t you?
29818I suppose this mine is fair?
29818I suppose you have the keys for everything, have n''t you?
29818I wonder where they are bound for? 29818 I''ll go get The Lily to come up and open the door,"one of Bells''supporters said;"and wo n''t you go for Doc?"
29818Is n''t that it?
29818Is she all tiger, or part woman?
29818Is the boss here?
29818Is there any need for an exchange of insults?
29818It looks as if we were goin''to have an argument, do n''t it?
29818It''s as bad as that, is it, boy? 29818 It''s not bad, I hope,"he said,"but it does hurt, does n''t it, old partner?"
29818Lay his hand down? 29818 Lookin''for Lily?"
29818Many men at the camp?
29818Me? 29818 Oh, so the old Rattler owner has a daughter, eh?"
29818Oh, you''re certain of that, are you, my girl?
29818On ore, or waste?
29818On whose authority, may I ask?
29818Open the door, ca n''t you?
29818Presby? 29818 Pretty tough luck, is n''t it?"
29818Refuse mine? 29818 Say, Bill,"he said,"is n''t it about bad enough without any more trouble?"
29818Say, there''s something wrong with that stuff you sent us,Bill began, and the trader answered with a soft, absent- minded,"So?"
29818Say,drawled his companion, with a calm deliberation that would have been dreaded by those who knew him,"does it hurt you much to be civil?
29818Sixty thousand? 29818 Sloan?"
29818So that''s the chap, eh? 29818 So that''s the way that trader down there filled the order, is it?"
29818So they''ve ordered a strike on us, have they?
29818So you are here in Goldpan, are you, Wolff?
29818So you''re running, eh?
29818Suppose after this you mind your own business?
29818The Lily?
29818The venners need a little more slant, do n''t you think?
29818Then if you''re with us, where is that Denver bunch?
29818Then we''d better move fast, eh?
29818Then why are you here together?
29818Think of it? 29818 Want you, boys?
29818We cut the green lead on the six- hundred- foot, at a hundred and ten feet from the shaft, did n''t we? 29818 We ought to go round there and see Mrs. Meredith, and patronize her as far as a few soda pops, and such go, had n''t we?
29818Well, I suppose you know they''s a lot of talk goin''around that the Cross is workin''in good pay now?
29818Well, if he thinks it''s such a good thing, why did n''t he offer to buy you out? 29818 Well, sir,"he said, turning to meet the kindly eyes,"what do you think of it?"
29818Well, where does this trail go?
29818Well, where does this trail start in?
29818Well,called Dick,"what did you learn?"
29818Well,demanded Rogers,"what have you to say for yourself?
29818Well,he said, without noticing the hot, antagonistic attitude of the mine owner,"what do you think of the proffered agreement?"
29818Well,she said, facing him, as if he had voiced his sentiment,"what would you have?
29818Well?
29818Were n''t you man enough to come yourself, instead of taking my daughter underground? 29818 What can we do for you?"
29818What did he do for you?
29818What do you fellers want here?
29818What do you fellows mean, anyhow?
29818What do you mean by this, anyhow?
29818What do you s''pose is up? 29818 What do you say we go down and hear what the trader has to say?
29818What do you want, anyhow?
29818What does that mean?
29818What is it?
29818What is the condition?
29818What must you think of me?
29818What position does he occupy? 29818 What time will she be here?"
29818What to do? 29818 What''re you up to?"
29818What? 29818 Where can Presby and the Rattler be found?"
29818Where is he, then?
29818Where were you last night?
29818Where you goin''?
29818Who are you?
29818Who did that?
29818Who do you mean-- Lily?
29818Who does this rope belong to?
29818Who is there that could want us out of the way badly enough to murder us? 29818 Who might that young feller be?"
29818Who told you to come here?
29818Why do n''t you hit again, boy? 29818 Why should I?
29818Why, say, Miss Presby, can you assay?
29818Why-- why, what do you know about him?
29818Why? 29818 Why?"
29818Will you come?
29818Wo n''t eh?
29818Wo n''t you take it, Mathews, and carry it over?
29818Wonder who that can be?
29818Working eight batteries?
29818Would you mind looking that over, and seeing if it meets with your approval?
29818You are Miss Meredith?
29818You are asking yourself and me the question, why, if I dislike liquor, and gambling, and all this, I am owner of the High Light?
29818You brought her here?
29818You noticed how round it was on one side? 29818 You should, eh?
29818You want to see me?
29818You''re all right, are you?
29818You''re thinkin''it''s no good, are you?
29818Yours and Mr. Sloan''s interests? 29818 ''Who owns this candlestick?'' 29818 A man came to a window in a picketed wicket as he entered, and said briskly:Well?"
29818Ai n''t we still pardners?
29818All down?"
29818And he told you that if ever you came back to Butte, he would not turn a hand to keep you from the clutches of the mob; did n''t he?
29818And is up there at the Cross?
29818And now you are plain''Mister Brown,''working somewhere back up in the hills, are you?
29818And who are you, may I ask?"
29818And-- and your name is Joan and not Dorothy, and you are Bully Presby''s daughter?"
29818Apuricots?
29818Are you mad?
29818As if by an afterthought, he asked:"Have you any idea of the condition of the mine?"
29818Besides, how about Sloan, my father''s old- time partner?
29818But how''s that girl?
29818Camp must be makin''money, eh?"
29818Can I send you up a bottle of Pumbry?
29818Can we help if we get over there?"
29818Come outside, wo n''t you?"
29818Cookin''for me?
29818Dick lifted his eyes, and looked at him affectionately, and then whispered into the ear close by his shoulder:"Shall I tell him now?"
29818Did n''t he?
29818Did n''t he?
29818Did n''t you know that-- all this time?"
29818Did you ever think how good it all is to us?
29818Did you want to compel her to be the chief witness in your claim?
29818Do I know him?"
29818Do I talk like a miner?"
29818Do n''t it?"
29818Do n''t you see, ca n''t you understand, that I want you to make good just to show that you can?"
29818Do you call that laying down a hand?
29818Do you get that?"
29818Do you know what you are doing?"
29818Does he think that sixty thousand is any saving from a wreck like this has been?
29818Does n''t he know who they are?"
29818Does that answer you?"
29818Eh?
29818Even as she said simply:"I am, but how did you know?
29818Finished?"
29818For God''s sake, what has happened?"
29818For an instant Dick was enraged by this stubbornness, and turned with a threat, and said:"Who''s running this mine?
29818Get it?"
29818Goin''to tie the poke strings again?"
29818Got any letters telling me that I''m to turn it over to you?"
29818Got us?"
29818He turned to the woman with his set face, and, still speaking in that calm, deadly voice, said:"Do you happen to have your gun up here?"
29818He went on without noticing them, speaking of himself in the third person:"I can stay here to- night somewhere, ca n''t I?
29818Hear''em?
29818Hey?
29818His reply did not seem to allay the solicitude of his companion, who called again,"Can I help you in any way?"
29818How does the Cross look, anyway?"
29818How goes it?"
29818How had it all happened?
29818I can sleep here, ca n''t I?"
29818I suppose you heard about it?"
29818If I should decline to venture his money, why should I----?"
29818If the mill had not been put out of business, we were going to stope it out, though, and prove whether it was the permanent ledge, were n''t we?"
29818Just as we uster be?"
29818Just forget it, wo n''t you?
29818Maybe you''ve heard of me?
29818Most frequently the anxious demand, coupled with a pronounced eagerness was,"Is there anything any of us can do?
29818No?
29818Now, what in hell do you suppose he meant by that?"
29818Presby?"
29818Say, Bill, you''re a little twisted, are n''t you?
29818She''s been idle, and water- soaked, for three years, ai n''t she?
29818So he came back, did he?
29818Take this, wo n''t you?
29818Talk about beans and sowbelly, how would these do?"
29818Tell me about the mine and the men?
29818That is your attitude?"
29818That''s a pretty big layout, eh?
29818That''s what it says in the copybooks, does n''t it?"
29818The latter looked at him coolly and exasperatingly for a moment, then said:"What position do you occupy here, my man?"
29818The letter comes from whom?
29818The moth in the closet, eh?
29818The repairs to the plant would not prove so heavy; but after that?
29818The younger man laughed softly and remonstrated:"Now, what''s the use in saying that?
29818There was an instant''s hesitation and then again the voice,"Well, what do you want?
29818There''s been a real good horse trail worked into the ground up there, ai n''t there?
29818They had some buildings and plant there, eh, Dick?"
29818Think of it?"
29818Understand?
29818Understand?"
29818Want to come along?"
29818Want to go to- day?"
29818Want you?"
29818Was he so kind----?"
29818Was the young mine owner, Townsend, there with you?
29818What ails you, anyway?"
29818What are you going to do?"
29818What are you handin''me?
29818What are your-- your-- how are your finances?"
29818What did you do that for?"
29818What do you think of that?"
29818What do you think?"
29818What do you think?"
29818What do you want out there?"
29818What do you want?"
29818What does that idiot think men who have dropped a quarter of a million in a property would quit for?
29818What is it, boy?"
29818What next?''
29818What of me?"
29818What of mine?
29818What of my conscience?
29818What of my own father?
29818What right had you to--?"
29818What right have you got sittin''here on your long haunches and lettin''a boss do the work?
29818What right have you to come up here and grab a man that way?
29818What''s the commotion down there?"
29818What''s the matter with you?
29818What?
29818When did you say I go to work?"
29818When do I go to work?
29818Where do you reckon we''ll find this here Thomas Presby person?"
29818Where the devil do you go every mornin''between nine and eleven?"
29818Where was I?
29818Who are you lookin''for, anyhow?"
29818Who are you?"
29818Who are you?"
29818Who''s Presby?
29818Who''s that girl you go up on the pipe line to meet every mornin''?"
29818Why did n''t they work her sooner?
29818Why do n''t you do it?
29818Why, you do n''t think I''m watching it because I want it, do you, young man?
29818Why?"
29818Why?"
29818Will you see to it that this goes to the right channels, and regard it as confidential?
29818Will you?
29818Wonder who''s right?"
29818You are rehabilitating the old mine?"
29818You been down to the camp a few times, ai n''t you?"
29818You do n''t know Presby?"
29818You do n''t mean to say you''re not with me?"
29818You got to move some, ai n''t you?
29818You see that gap up yonder?
29668A fellow?
29668After what I have told you, are you not afraid?
29668Ai n''t I? 29668 Are they out looking for trouble?"
29668Are you hurt, Joan?
29668As long as you''ll stay and teach me, there is n''t any particular use for me to leave, is there?
29668But how did you get out of there?
29668But we''re coming back----"Comin''back?
29668Ca n''t you take a joke, Mackenzie?
29668Can you keep a secret for me, Mary?
29668Carlson''s place? 29668 Carlson''s?
29668Charley, stir up the fire, will you? 29668 Clean?"
29668Curious how things come around that way, ai n''t it? 29668 Damn it all, Mackenzie, ca n''t you take a joke?"
29668Dark, huh?
29668Did Sullivan say that?
29668Did Sullivan send you over?
29668Did anybody see him doing it?
29668Did he-- did Hector Hall sling a gun on Mr. Mackenzie that time?
29668Did n''t you look for me?
29668Did you cut that chain?
29668Did you have a fight with Hector?
29668Did you know her down at Jasper?
29668Do you know Swan Carlson?
29668Do you still think you''ll stick to the sheep business, John?
29668Do you think he''ll stick?
29668Do you think you''ll like it after you get over the lonesomeness?
29668Do you want me to get any water, Joan?
29668Does Sullivan know how things stand with Reid?
29668Earl Reid?
29668Egypt? 29668 Even before marrying Mary?"
29668Got a right to? 29668 Happen?
29668Has Carlson been over?
29668Has he been going over there to see you?
29668Has he got over the lonesomeness?
29668Has it come already?
29668Have you a pistol?
29668Have you been in a fight?
29668Have you been out looking for him?
29668Have you gone through it?
29668Have you got a lease on this land?
29668Have you seen Reid over your way this morning?
29668Have you soured on it already, Earl?
29668Have you taught it to many-- many-- girls?
29668He may not be able to slip up on you any more, but if he crowds a fuss where''ll you be at, with that hand hardly able to hold a gun?
29668He was by, was he?
29668Hector Hall showed up?
29668Hector Hall_ left_ it here? 29668 How about Joan?
29668How are you, John? 29668 How could the old man put one over on him like that?"
29668How did it happen-- who did it?
29668How did she locate you?
29668How did you do it-- kick over the lantern?
29668How do I know she''d stay with me? 29668 How do I know you''ve got any right to make a trade?
29668How do you know he is coming home tonight?
29668How long has he kept you tied up this way?
29668How many does she own?
29668How many-- which way were they going?
29668How much do you value her in sheep?
29668How much will you give me for my chances?
29668How''re you makin''it, Earl?
29668I asked you what you''re doing over here east of Horsethief Cañon?
29668I wonder if I could git you to write a letter over to that widow and tell her I''m dead?
29668Is he all right now?
29668Is he going to run them on this range?
29668Is he over at the ranch?
29668Is he there?
29668Is it his?
29668Is she a good looker, Dad?
29668Is she in there?
29668Is she over there with the sheep?
29668Is she sick?
29668Is that all they''re giving her?
29668It wasn''t-- was it----?
29668It would n''t be that way, Dad-- can''t you see I do n''t care for him? 29668 It''s sundown; do n''t you think you''d better be going back to camp, Joan?"
29668It''s you?
29668Joan? 29668 Listen-- do you hear?"
29668Madam,said he, indignantly amazed by the barbarous thing he beheld,"does that man keep you a prisoner here?"
29668Mary?
29668Matt Hall, huh?
29668Matt deserved it, all right-- he ought have been killed for his mean face long ago-- but it''s turned Earl''s head, have n''t you noticed? 29668 Oh, Tim told you, did he?
29668Oh, not that bad, Joan?
29668Oh, you''re up here on your vacation?
29668Oh, you''ve got it all settled? 29668 Rabbit''s still up there on the Big Wind waiting for you, is she?"
29668Rachel? 29668 Right?
29668Right? 29668 Sheep business?"
29668Sheep business?
29668Show myself? 29668 So they fixed him up in the hospital at Cheyenne?"
29668So you want to be a flockmaster?
29668So, you saw through me, did you, Joan?
29668Somebody you used to know?
29668Swan Carlson?
29668Swan Carlson?
29668Swan do n''t pack a gun as a regular thing?
29668That''s a grizzly-- don''t you hear them dogs?
29668The ranch is about thirteen or fifteen miles on up the creek from here,she said,"You have n''t had your breakfast, have you?"
29668The sheriff, you mean?
29668Them dogs Joan give you''s breakin''in to the sound of your voice wonderful, ai n''t they?
29668They''ve sewed me up in a sack with Joan-- I guess you know about it?
29668Three years of this, and what''ll I be? 29668 Was n''t there something else that feller Jacob was workin''for besides the interest in the stock?"
29668Was there anybody-- did anybody else come around?
29668We''ll fight to see who opens the door-- what?
29668Well, what about her?
29668Were you around here that day, Swan?
29668What are you doing over here east of Horsethief?
29668What are you going to do about Rabbit?
29668What are you going to do with them, John?
29668What are you talking about?
29668What did he do then?
29668What did he want?
29668What did you do when he said you had to fight him?
29668What did you do with that roll you used to carry around out here?
29668What did you think of Mary?
29668What do you care? 29668 What do you suppose they''re doing over here?"
29668What do you want, loafin''around here?
29668What kind of a man is Dad Frazer?
29668What makes you ask me that, John?
29668What makes you think that, Dad?
29668What would you want to leave a good business like this for?
29668What''s it like over where Dad Frazer grazes his sheep?
29668What''s that got to do with sheep?
29668What''s the matter, Dad-- rattlesnakes?
29668What''s the matter?
29668What''s the reason you have to stay right here for three years, and then marry me, to make a million dollars? 29668 What''s the straight of it, you old hide- bound sinner?"
29668Where does he keep his tools?
29668Where have you been all day? 29668 Where is Swan tonight?"
29668Where is that?
29668Where is your camp?
29668Where is your woman?
29668Where is your woman?
29668Where''s the money?
29668Which way did they go-- did Mary say?
29668Who done it?
29668Who else?
29668Who is Matt Hall, and where''s his ranch, Dad? 29668 Who''s in that room, Carlson?"
29668Who, Dad?
29668Who-- Mary?
29668Why did n''t some of you handle him long ago? 29668 Why did n''t you lead her up to the hitching- rack while you were there?
29668Why did n''t you, before he got his hands on you?
29668Why not?
29668Will Swan be over tomorrow?
29668Will you?
29668You brought them back?
29668You did n''t lose a dog, did you, Dad?
29668You got a woman, huh? 29668 You mean the grizzly?"
29668You mean the sheep?
29668You stopped Swan, you took the gun away from him, did n''t you, Earl?
29668You want to buy in, or take a band on shares?
29668You want to learn the sheep business, huh?
29668You wanted me to kill that feller so he could n''t take your woman away from you, did n''t you?
29668You''ll come back and make it home?
29668You''re married to her regularly, are you, Dad?
29668You''re not goin''to hang around there all the time, are you, Joan?
29668You''re not goin''to quit me and take away my girl, the best one of my flock, my ewe lamb, my Joan? 29668 You''re not hurted much, lad?"
29668You''re runnin''your sheep over on my grass-- what?
29668Ah- h, ye mind how you read it, Joan, and come ridin''to tell me?
29668And Rabbit tripped and fell into the tub trying to save you from it, did she?"
29668And again:"Clean?
29668And you did n''t know but she was there, locked in and bound hand and foot, lad?
29668Anybody been here but Joan?"
29668Anybody gone for a doctor?"
29668Are they all disagreeable people over that way?"
29668Been havin''some trouble with your hand?"
29668But he did n''t take that joke-- what?
29668But how would Sullivan view this abrupt ending of the half- million- dollar penance, and the loss of three years''unpaid labor?
29668But what had they told Joan that she would go away without a word, leaving him in a sickness from which he might never have turned again?
29668But why has n''t she been over to see me, Mary?"
29668CHAPTER VII THE EASIEST LESSON"Why do they always begin the conjugations on_ love_?"
29668CHAPTER XXVIII SWAN CARLSON LAUGHS"So, you are here?"
29668Ca n''t you go anywhere else?"
29668Could n''t some of them sheepmen down at Jasper use you?"
29668Did Joan wear your ring when she went home?"
29668Did anything happen over your way to keep you?"
29668Did not I serve with thee for Rachel?
29668Did you ever see Matt Hall?"
29668Did you have to-- did you have to-- do anything to Carlson, Earl?"
29668Do I look like a man that''d lose a dog?"
29668Do n''t you ever have any dances or anything-- camp meetings or picnics?"
29668Do you know Swan Carlson?"
29668Do you know how much muscle it takes to tear a sheep up that a- way?"
29668Do you think you''ve got the stuff in you to make a sheepman out of?"
29668Does she agree to the terms?"
29668Have you got the papers to show she''s yours?"
29668Have you seen him?"
29668Heh-- ye mind that winter, Joan, gerrel?"
29668How about a can of beans?"
29668How are you, lad?"
29668How did Rabbit get her face scalded?"
29668How did it get back there in his holster?
29668How did you git your face bunged up that way?"
29668How do you feel about it now?"
29668How had he learned of that?
29668How in the world could a reservation squaw find her way around to follow you all this time?"
29668How much can you lift?"
29668How much does she weigh?"
29668How would it accept her faith and frankness, her high scorn for the deceits upon which it fed?
29668How''s Joan gettin on with the learnin''?"
29668How''s your hand?"
29668I could leave here tomorrow; what''s to hold me?
29668I thought you came from Jasper?"
29668I wonder if I''d want to come back, too?"
29668I wonder if she knows I''m up?"
29668If you''d''a''missed him, where would you''a''been at?"
29668Is he still roamin''and restless?"
29668Is it usual, Dad, for a man to work a year at forty dollars a month and found before he goes in as a partner on the increase of the flock he runs?"
29668Is she all right?"
29668Joan comin''over today?"
29668Joan, she''ll know what to give you, and I guess you can find your way back here?"
29668Mackenzie?"
29668Mackenzie?"
29668Maybe--"looking up with eager hopefulness--"if I go out of it a little way, just on the edge of it and pray, God will be able to hear my voice?"
29668Safe?
29668Say, is that the woman you found chained up when you struck this country?"
29668She had no business training, for what should a minister''s wife know of business beyond the affairs of the parish and the economy of her own home?
29668So, what was the use of worrying along on a mission of enlightenment at sixty dollars a month?
29668Sullivan?"
29668Sullivan?"
29668The question is, will it pay a man to take the chance?"
29668Then Dad:"So you''re thinkin''of Mary, are you, John?"
29668Then, after a little while, looking around for Joan:"What was he up to, John?
29668Then:"Have you been over there spying on me?"
29668Then:"How many sheep do they run?"
29668Unconscious?"
29668Was that all your dreams brought you?"
29668Was that the kind of an ambition you had?
29668Well, how''ll you trade?"
29668Well, what did you do with_ him_?"
29668What business could you----""Did n''t he tell you about it, Joan?"
29668What did Reid know about any Jacob and Rachel romance?
29668What did you let him treat you this way for?
29668What do you mean?"
29668What do you say?"
29668What do you think of that?
29668What does a man care about a little hobble, or one eye, or a little chunk of fat, when he can step into a layout like that?"
29668What else, Dad?"
29668What happen?"
29668What kept you, Joan?
29668What kind of a looking duck is he?"
29668What put it in your head to tramp off up here to see me?
29668What was he tryin''to do with my girl?"
29668What was the matter, Joan?"
29668What was the trouble between him and Swan-- who started it?"
29668What would Joan say about this affair?
29668What would Tim Sullivan''s verdict be?
29668What would she-- what does Mary----?"
29668What would the world do with Joan Sullivan if she ever broke her fetters and went to it?
29668What''s up, getting married?"
29668What?"
29668When a man''s marryin''a sheep ranch what difference is it to him whether it''s a Mary or a Joan?"
29668When do you want Reid?"
29668Where did you get it?"
29668Where did you get those guns?"
29668Where did you say that feller was at?"
29668Where is she now, if I''m not too curious?"
29668Where was Carlson; what had happened to him?
29668Where''s my Joan?"
29668Who done it?"
29668Who is he, do you know?"
29668Why did n''t some of your neighbors take a hand in it?"
29668Why was n''t you in the wagon last night watchin''it?"
29668Why?
29668Will you give me a thousand dollars for my place in the sheep game, girl and all?
29668Will you give me a thousand dollars?"
29668Will you set me free, kind stranger?"
29668With both of his guns?"
29668You do n''t remember me?"
29668You ever had any work around a ranch?"
29668You got away off on Reid, holdin''up for him agin''my judgment when he first come here on the range-- don''t you remember?"
29668You have heard of Swan Carlson?"
29668You have no woman?
29668You see them sheep- dogs?
29668You''re not on the contested territory, are you?"
29668Your father----"*****"You''ll not do it, you mean?"
29668_ What is this thou hast done unto me?
29668said he, impatiently;"what can you do alone?"
22180''You saw it?'' 22180 Ai n''t I had hell enough fer one day?"
22180All men talk alike,sniffed Janet,"where''s Jennie?"
22180All right? 22180 An'', you''re in on it?

22180And Cinnabar, do you know where I could find a foreman?
22180And Old Bat?
22180And claim the reward?
22180And they were both on the boat?
22180And you really-- seriously-- want to live out there?
22180And you still want to spend it in Timber City?
22180Any friends or relations you want notified, Isaac, or any special disposal of the remains?
22180Any tracks around-- like anyone had be''n there?
22180Are they fresh?
22180Are you really following a trail?
22180Be''n talkin''it over, eh?
22180Busy?
22180But how are we ever going to buck this current? 22180 But the people at the ranch-- this Cinnabar Joe?"
22180But why should you sacrifice your horse?
22180But, suppose they have n''t landed? 22180 But, the horses?
22180But, why did they go on spreadin''these bills? 22180 But, wo n''t they shoot him when he tries to get away?"
22180But, would n''t it be better to try and reach shore?
22180But-- what outfit did you buy, Win?
22180But-- you-- where are you going?
22180But--stammered Janet,"what about the other girl-- the one from the East-- that you were going to invite out?
22180Ca n''t you see it wo n''t do? 22180 Colston?
22180Come on, Purdy, tell me where she is? 22180 Could it look any worse than it is?"
22180Cow outfit?
22180D''you know her?
22180D''you know who I am?
22180Damn me, where''s your wife?
22180Did he catch them?
22180Did he know you were going to sell?
22180Did he-- git Purdy?
22180Did the deal go through?
22180Did you ever notice how sometimes without any reason, things gets kind of-- of onnatural-- kind of feel to''em that''s_ different_? 22180 Did you find your friend?"
22180Did you say he is a Texan? 22180 Do n''t yer friends imbibe nothin''?"
22180Do n''t you remember me-- Jennie Dodds, that was? 22180 Do you know him?"

22180Do you know why?
22180Do you like''em-- honest? 22180 Do you mean----?"
22180Do you suppose he would? 22180 Do you think he''s really sincere-- that it is n''t just a trick to get you out where they can shoot you?
22180Do you think they''re alive?
22180Dry?
22180Figure because you''ve helped pull off a few good horse deals, you''re a regular outlaw? 22180 From the bad lands?"
22180Gents, what''s yourn?

22180He hasn''t-- killed anyone, has he?
22180He wo n''t, eh? 22180 Hey, Win,"cut in Tex,"how would I do?
22180How about it, Purdy?
22180How are we going to cross?
22180How did Purdy know about the reward?
22180How did she know?
22180How do you know he ever took her there? 22180 How do you know she''s safe?"
22180How long has he worked for you?
22180How many of you are there against one man?
22180How much?
22180How''d Long Bill cross the river? 22180 How, different?"
22180Huntin''yer ferry?
22180I mistrusted this was n''t goin''to be no prosaic jubilee, but what I''m wonderin''is, how''s it goin''to come out? 22180 I wonder how deep it is?"
22180I wonder,she whispered,"I wonder if she_ did_ know I was just crazy about her Texan?"
22180I''ll have things ready in a jiffy?
22180I''ll just admit that she''ll marry me-- what then? 22180 If you''re so damn smart, why did n''t you think of the keg shoot?"
22180In the first place, is Purdy one of your gang? 22180 Is he-- right?"
22180Is it your horse?
22180Is n''t there a chance? 22180 Is she-- all right?"
22180Janet-- darling,he whispered,"do you know-- about--_her_?"
22180Just step away with the lantern so he ca n''t see what''s ahead of him, an''he''ll come-- won''t you, Blue?
22180Kill me some day, will she? 22180 Kind of peppery, ai n''t you?
22180Kind of sassy, ai n''t you? 22180 Learn how to rope a horse, back East?
22180Left out somethin''?
22180Like women, are n''t they?
22180Long Bill was riding----"Purdy''s horse?
22180Long Bill, eh?
22180Married? 22180 Married?"
22180Me? 22180 Mebbe they''ll be more to this here business than just pickin''up a plain drunk-- little reward money, mebbe-- eh?"
22180Neighbours?
22180No, forgive me, I--she paused and looked straight into his eyes,"and, will you promise me one thing more?"
22180Not onless they could of flew,opined Purdy,"how''d she come to bust loose?"
22180Oh, I hope it''s all right,whispered the girl,"do you really think it will work?"
22180Oh, ca n''t you listen to reason?
22180Oh, does something awful always happen out here?
22180Oh, he will, will he?
22180Oh, how can I thank you?
22180Oh, please----Tex interrupted her sharply, and the girl was startled at the gleam that leaped suddenly from the grey eyes:"What are you doing here?
22180Oh, we did, did we? 22180 Oh, what did he say?"
22180Oh, what is he like? 22180 Oh, what is it, Joe?
22180Oh, what is it, Joe?
22180Oh, where are we? 22180 Oh- ho, so he''s got a record, has he?"
22180Reach shore?

22180Reward?
22180So you''ve be''n kind of-- of lookin''out fer her, Cass?
22180Stranger in these parts?
22180Sure they was n''t no one there? 22180 Surely?
22180That why yer ridin''a Circle J horse? 22180 That you, Purdy?"
22180That''s just what I''m counting on-- and who would find her? 22180 That''s what I''m a- huntin'',"he answered,"saw any thin''of her?"
22180The Y Bar?
22180Then, why did he quit?
22180They ca n''t burn me without burnin''up their whole damn little wooden town,he speculated,"but what in the devil do they want with a light?"
22180They would n''t any of them come if they could see what''s ahead, would they?
22180Thinkin'', mebbe, to slip over an''pull a hold- up?
22180Too bad you had n''t been born in the West, so Win would never known you-- then-- maybe----"What shall I tell our friend the marshal?
22180W''at you t''ink?
22180Want to git it over with in a hurry, do you?
22180Was he here, too?
22180Was it Tex?
22180We''ve got to get off here,he insisted,"where''d we be if some big tree like the one that knocked me cold would drift down on us?"
22180Well you''re the second one this morning; what do_ you_ want?
22180Well, what''d he say?
22180Well-- why in hell do n''t you shoot?
22180Wha''d''ye mean?
22180What are you doing here?
22180What are you going to do with her?
22180What are you hunting for?
22180What can I think?
22180What do you mean''not that way''?
22180What do you mean-- Long Bill-- died?
22180What do you mean?
22180What does he know of Purdy?
22180What girl-- you mean the pilgrim''s woman? 22180 What hang- out?"
22180What happened?
22180What if he gits away? 22180 What if he wo n''t come?
22180What kind of trouble?
22180What the hell would I want of a boat?
22180What will he do when he gets there?
22180What woman d''ye s''pose?
22180What woman?
22180What would Win say?
22180What would Win think? 22180 What would you do then?"
22180What you doin''with a Y Bar cayuse?
22180What you goin''to do about it?
22180What''s all the artillery for? 22180 What''s he goin''to do with her?"
22180What''s the big idee-- pinchin''back the_ dinero_?
22180What''s the good?
22180What''s the joke?
22180What''s the matter?
22180What''s this nonsense,cried the girl, angrily,"--this talk about choosing a man?
22180What''s yer name?
22180What-- what do you mean-- murderin''?
22180When are you goin''to collect it?
22180Where in hell you be''n?
22180Where is she? 22180 Where you goin''?"
22180Where''d I be now, if I did n''t? 22180 Where''d they go?"
22180Where''s Grimshaw''s hang- out?
22180Where''s Purdy?
22180Where''s the pilgrim?
22180Where''s your friend? 22180 Where-- where''s Tex?"
22180Where?
22180Who Tex?
22180Who are you?
22180Who do you think you are anyhow? 22180 Who is she, an''what you goin''to do with her?"
22180Who owns the Y Bar, now?
22180Who the hell d''ye s''pose I mean? 22180 Who the hell was they to do it, but me?"
22180Who with?
22180Who''s on who''s trail? 22180 Who''s that?"
22180Who? 22180 Whose horse is Blue?
22180Why ca n''t things be just-- just normal, like they ought to be?
22180Why did n''t you marry him, then?
22180Why did you have to hunt wagons, and what has a wagon boss got to do with a cattle ranch?
22180Why do n''t they arrest him?
22180Why, what''s the matter? 22180 Why?"
22180Why?
22180With Powder Face?
22180Wo n''t drink with me, eh?
22180Worryin''him?
22180Would you have known it if he had been writing letters? 22180 Y Bar Colston?"
22180Yes, did n''t you know that there is a reward of a thousand dollars for information concerning her?
22180Yes, do you know the Y Bar?
22180You ai n''t be''n into old Mac''s bottle, have you?
22180You ai n''t none surprised that he''d lie, be you?
22180You ca n''t swim, and suppose something should happen and the boat moved off before you could climb into it? 22180 You comin''out, or I got to go in there an''git you?"
22180You do n''t drink?
22180You gon''mar''heem tomor''?
22180You heard what they said?
22180You here alone?
22180You mean, you think they''ve planned it all out to run away together?
22180You mean-- we''re in danger?
22180You must know him pretty well if you''re his foreman?
22180''So, it got you at last, did it?''
22180A sudden gleam of comprehension shot from Cinnabar''s eyes:"Who did you think I was talkin''about,"he grinned,"the Gazookus of Timbucktoo?"
22180A tree''s a tree, ai n''t it?
22180A troubled look crept into the girl''s face:"You won''t--_hurt_ anyone?"
22180A''m t''ink you feel pret''bad,_ non_?
22180Again Grimshaw tossed away his cards:"Ai n''t she good lookin'', Purdy?"
22180Again Shorty asked a question, and the Texan noted a hopeful look in the china blue eyes:"Be''n married an''--quit?"
22180Again the man laughed:"Oh, you do, eh?
22180Ai n''t I good fer the drinks?"
22180Ai n''t that jest like women?
22180Ai n''t you got no thankfulness in you?
22180An answering grin twisted the lips of the Texan:"Keep pretty well posted-- don''t you, Cass?"
22180An''I wonder how in hell she come to be ridin''him?
22180An''a rope''s a rope?"
22180An''besides, what was it she said when I turned down the drink she offered me?
22180An''did he speak ye fair?
22180An''how about the others?
22180An''how in hell do you figger the date?"
22180An''how to ride?
22180An''if I do come acrost, up I go anyhow-- he''ll double- cross me jest to git me out of the way-- an''where''ll you be?"
22180An''is he gude to look on-- a man to tak''the ee o''the weemin''?
22180An''s''pose you git shot, fer yer trouble, you got any folks to notify?"
22180An''when you turn up alive an''kickin''you do n''t notice''em gittin''out no brass band about it, do you?
22180An''who''s got to do the dickerin''?
22180An''why you snuck into the brush back yonder an''laid low while Pete, here, rode past a- singin''''Big Foot Sal''?"
22180An''you show up here tomorrow morning with a preacher an''a round yellow ring-- savvy?"
22180And do n''t the soft air, and the young leaves, and the green grass, and the nesting birds make you_ crazy_ to get out into the big open places?
22180And if he should ask you, you stick to it, or you will spoil my plans----""Your-- plans?"
22180And if he were not already dead, suppose he should drown in the filthy water in the bottom of the boat?
22180And what right have you to tell me I ca n''t ride him?"
22180And where''s Tex?"
22180And why was she tied?
22180And why----?"
22180And why?
22180And, Win, wo n''t it be just_ grand_?
22180And, did Tex ride him?"
22180And, yet, was n''t it just grand?
22180Another pause, and with a vast show of indifference Long Bill asked:"Anyone in her?"
22180Anything I can do for you?"
22180Anyway, even without a villain it''s almost sure to work-- don''t you think?"
22180As she stepped out into the night, she was hailed roughly by the marshal:"Well, what''d he say, now?"
22180As the feller says, where do I git off at?"
22180At length the man spoke:"What''s yer hurry?
22180At the Wolf River Hotel?"
22180At the corner of the livery stable he paused:"W''ere you hoss?"
22180Bat regarded the other gravely:"W''at you t''ink?"
22180But if so, what was she doing here-- alone?
22180But the rest of it?
22180But this woman-- my wife?
22180But what are you doing on this side of the river?
22180But who''s that with him?
22180But why was he tied?
22180But, tell us how come Purdy to have you tied up, an''what''s Tex Benton got to do with it-- an''your man in Timber City?
22180But, what horse has she got?
22180But, what was so funny?"
22180But, what''s the use?
22180But, where was she?
22180But, why did n''t they shoot?
22180Cinnabar Joe greeted Grimshaw and Bat at the horse corral:"Seen Tex?"
22180Cinnabar looked straight into her eyes:"Know Tex?"
22180Cinnabar paused and, his wife, who had been drinking in every word leaned toward him eagerly:"But, Purdy?
22180Cinnabar stared:"Do you know her?"
22180Colston noticed the look:"Like to take a little ride?"
22180Colston?"
22180Colston?"
22180Could it be that his great love for her had found no answering chord in her heart?
22180Could it be that she did not even now take him seriously?
22180Could it be that the Texan--?
22180Coyotes be''n killin''lambs?"
22180D''you git that?
22180Did her husband fear this man, and if so-- why?
22180Did you know him before he worked on the Y Bar?"
22180Do I make myself plain?
22180Do n''t you just_ love_ it?
22180Do you know him?"
22180Do you think you''re up to a sixty- mile ride?"
22180Do you understand now thoroughly just what I think of you?
22180Does Purdy know about the reward?"
22180Does it pay?
22180Endicott thrust his face close and stared straight into the half- breed''s eyes:"Have you been with Tex all the time-- this past year?"
22180Er mebbe you think I fish fer a livin''?
22180Figurin''on collectin''?"
22180Finally he spoke:"See her clost up?"
22180For a moment the man stared in surprise, and then, with an oath he grasped her roughly by the arm:"What are you laughin''at?
22180God, girl, ca n''t you see it?
22180Grimshaw hesitated just a moment:"You''re sure you want me?
22180Gun in hand, Hod Blake nodded curtly:"D''you say you know this here party?"
22180Had her experience with Purdy taken the romance out of the adventure?
22180Had she deliberately planned this journey in order to be once more with the Texan?
22180Had their meeting-- their flight, even, been prearranged?
22180Has he ever talked about-- about-- my wife?"
22180Has he-- didn''t you an''Win-- hit it out?"
22180Have those two got together?
22180Have you Joe?"
22180He tossed his cigarette into the coals and spoke abruptly:"What you doin''down here?
22180He turned to Endicott,"Onless you''d ruther hit fer Cinnabar Joe''s?"
22180Him an''Bill are goin''to ride over after awhile an''see if I need any help-- but I do n''t do I, Purdy?"
22180Him?
22180His eyes narrowed as he pointed out the danger, and his voice rang strong above the storm:"Where''s the ax?"
22180How about it stranger, d''you play?"
22180How about it-- don''t that fill the bill?"
22180How about yer-- wife?
22180How bad be you in?"
22180How did Purdy git in on it?"
22180How far can you swim?"
22180How long has she been gone?
22180How long have you known this Ike Stork?"
22180How many girls have you known since-- a year ago?"
22180How''d Purdy git holt of her, anyway?"
22180I ai n''t in jail, am I?"
22180I ai n''t real?
22180I just tuck them papers''long''cause----""Where''s the girl?"
22180I knew they would kill him-- and what had he done?
22180I told''em the whole story-- an''if anything happens to me-- up you go-- see?
22180I wonder if your Dad would sell Blue?
22180I''ll buy him, an''gentle him, an''then----""And then-- what?"
22180I''ll jest hold you safe till I git my mitts on that five thousan'', an''then----""You''ll hold me safe till you get the money?"
22180I''m a fool, be I?
22180If I ai n''t able to pull a bank job, how in hell be you forty- dollar- a- month cow hands goin''to do it?
22180If I get you, what''s the use of leavin''her there to die?
22180If Tex do n''t git him-- an''he do n''t come back here?"
22180If she had loved the Texan, why had she married him?
22180If they ai n''t nothin''on him what''s he anxious to pay up an''git out fer?"
22180If those hoofs had struck the Texan?
22180If you got somethin''to say, why the hell do n''t you say it?"
22180Is he a horse- thief, too?"
22180Is he hurt?"
22180Is he some braw young blade that rode that de''el of a Blue wi''oot half tryin''?
22180Is n''t it just grand to feel that you do n''t have to go to the horrible, smoky old city every morning?
22180Is n''t it possible that they''re-- that the boat is still afloat?"
22180Is she your woman, an''how come Purdy to have her?"
22180Is that all you want-- the money-- five thousand dollars?"
22180Is ut so?"
22180It''s a-- what do they call it?
22180Janet winced at the words:"When did he bring her here?"
22180Jennie rose and laid a hand on his arm:"Jest one thing more, Joe?
22180Listen-- I----""Who is she?"
22180Look a- here, Bill; what you so damned anxious to find that ferry fer?
22180McWhorter puffed for some minutes in silence:"Think you he will come here the night?"
22180McWhorter?"
22180Me-- A''m Batiste Xavier Jean Jacques de Beaumont Lajune----""Is that one word-- or several?"
22180Mebbe I''m runnin''a ferry?
22180No one could of got off her an''struck back in?"
22180Nodder pilgrim to hang, eh,_ bien_?"
22180Now''s the chance to do me a good turn on account of them four- bits I give you-- way back in Las Vegas-- remember?"
22180Now, Jo- Jo, what was the gist of that there remark of yours?"
22180Now, gentlemen of the jury, what''s your verdict?"
22180Only-- he do n''t know nothin''--see?
22180Or, was the concern assumed for the benefit of her hearers?
22180Perhaps after all, he loved this woman-- loved her honestly-- yet, how could he love honestly another man''s wife?
22180Presently her eyes opened:"Where-- where is Tex?"
22180Purdy eyed the speaker with contempt:"Who wants to know?"
22180Purdy grinned:"Dog, eh?
22180Purdy laughed harshly:"Cinnabar, eh?
22180Purdy laughed nastily:"Cinnabar Joe spilled a mouthful, did he?
22180Purdy scowled:"Well, what if she is?
22180Purdy sneered:"Gittin''in yer bluff right up to the last, eh?
22180Purdy swayed heavily against the bar:"Give me a drink?"
22180Purdy''s anger flared up:"Keep pretty close cases, do n''t you?
22180Purdy?
22180Remember how the sun looked as it rose like a great ball of fire beyond the miles and miles of open bench?"
22180Remember-- Wolf River, in the moonlight on the rim of the bench, an''the little lights a- twinklin''down in the valley?
22180Reports was that the pilgrim had bumped you off but you do n''t notice no crêpe hangin''around nowheres, do you?
22180She hastened to his side:"Will you do something for me?"
22180So, that''s his game, is it?"
22180Suppose he do n''t love the girl?
22180Suppose he do n''t want to marry her?"
22180Suppose they''ve drifted on down?"
22180Tell me-- what has happened?"
22180That little job of dirty work that Purdy wanted you to do-- did you do it?"
22180That wo n''t cost you much-- but this way, how in hell do you expect to play a lone hand agin a whole town an''git away with it?
22180That''s all I know, an''that''s all----""Tex Benton?"
22180The Texan adjusted the halter, deftly slipped the bridle from beneath it, and glanced quizzically into her face:"Think so?"
22180The Texan glanced up in surprise at the vehemence of her last words:"Why do you hate it?"
22180The Texan rose to his feet:"Where did you say I''d find Purdy?"
22180The Texan''s eyes widened as his hands closed about the butts of his guns:"Goin''to burn me out, eh?"
22180The chances are you''ll never reach the river-- and what are you going to do when you get there?"
22180The cowboy took the hand and pressed it fiercely:"You''re goin''to be there, too?
22180The girl''s eyes dropped suddenly:"Crisp, or limber?"
22180The girl''s face went a shade paler:"You know him?"
22180The gleam faded from the man''s eyes and he regarded her curiously;"But, what are you doin''in Timber City-- you an''Win?"
22180The horse game''s got too slow, eh?
22180The huge Scotchman dismounted, nodded and addressed Cinnabar Joe:"Ha''ye seen my daughter?"
22180The leader blew a double plume of smoke from his nostrils and abruptly asked:"Well, what if it is?"
22180The little steepleless church loomed up before them, and Endicott glanced at his watch:"Four o''clock,"he announced,"I wonder if Colston is waiting?"
22180The man laughed, and reaching into his pocket, tossing her a gold piece:"What''s lambs worth?"
22180The man leered insolently:"Oh, you did, eh?
22180The man nodded:"Yeh, it was Tex----""Tex Benton?"
22180The man regarded her reproachfully:"You do n''t think I''d lie to you?"
22180The man regarded her with sudden interest:"D''you know him?"
22180The sullen rage flared into swift anger and the cowpuncher''s hand dropped to his gun:"What the hell''s loose with you?
22180The whole thing was so absurdly simple-- but was it?
22180Then, there was the booze that Cinnabar Joe doped----""Cinnabar?"
22180Then, to make sure, I asked you what Mr. Colston''s chief worry was?
22180Thought I''d quit a game where I hold all the aces, an''horn in on one where I do n''t hold even a deuce to draw to?
22180Thought you could sneak up an''git me when I was n''t lookin'', eh?
22180Tired of follerin''my lead?"
22180To get into a saddle and just ride, and ride, and ride?
22180To tell the truth, I was kind of catchy in the throat, but I managed to blurt out,''An''that''s why you would n''t brand him?''
22180Tomorrow, it''ll be different but as Old Bat says''Wat de hell?''"
22180Very possibly his wife was alive-- but, where?
22180W''at you wan''in Wo''f Reevaire?
22180Want to tackle banks, an''express boxes?
22180Was her love all for the West?
22180Was her love so shallow a thing that it must be fanned into a flame by the winds of high adventure?
22180Was it possible that_ all_ the letters had not been returned?
22180Was she tired of the Texan already?
22180We thought, maybe, you''d----""Thought I''d turn bank robber, eh?
22180We''re not going under, and what''s to prevent us from waiting out here until the men on the bank go away, and then going back where we started from?"
22180Well, I''m here-- do you want that reward?"
22180What I want to know is-- will you marry me tomorrow, dear?"
22180What could Purdy have on him?"
22180What could he think, if the man behind that screen were not Tex, and would shoot the second she came into range?
22180What d''ye want of two rooms, then?
22180What do I care what the women say?
22180What do you make of it, Bat?
22180What do you say we start a little game of stud?
22180What do you think this is, a cow''s hotel?
22180What do you think?"
22180What happens?
22180What if Stork''s horse had broken loose or been moved by someone passing through the alley?
22180What if he thinks we''re double- crossin''him?"
22180What if the man behind that rough plank wall were not Tex-- her Tex?
22180What if the window had been guarded unknown to Stork?
22180What if--?
22180What in hell you be''n doin''to have a reward up fer you?
22180What is his name?"
22180What is it, Win-- sheep, or cattle?"
22180What kind of a man was this?
22180What the hell am I runnin'', a cow outfit or a summer resort?
22180What wad ye think could happen?"
22180What was it she had read in his eyes-- during the moment of that last glance?
22180What woman?"
22180What would Win think of her?
22180What would everyone think?
22180What would the horsemen behind her say when at last they overtook her?
22180What you drivin''at?
22180What you goin''to do?"
22180What you goin''to do?"
22180What you gone an''done?
22180What''ll Win think, an''what''ll everyone else think?
22180What''ll become of her, if you git me?"
22180What''ll folks say?
22180What''s all this mixup about?
22180What''s goin''on in Wolf River that you''re so hell bent to take in?"
22180What''s he doing here?"
22180What''s he got on you?
22180What''s his name?"
22180What''s the matter with everyone here?
22180What''s the use of you takin''a chance?"
22180What''s yer hurry?"
22180When the animal subsided he peered at the horsemen:"Whut''s up?"
22180When would he return?
22180Where are they now?
22180Where are we going?"
22180Where do I git off at if you do n''t ketch him?"
22180Where do you figger on doin''yer tradin''?"
22180Where is she?"
22180Where was he now?
22180Where was it this here episode took place?"
22180Where was she?
22180Where you headin''?"
22180Where''d I come from?
22180Where''d anyone you know come from?
22180Where''d he come from?
22180Where''d you come from?
22180Where''s McWhorter?"
22180Where''s Purdy?
22180Where''s that girl?"
22180Which way did she go?
22180Which?"
22180Who else''ud have the guts to steal the Red Front saloon, an''another man''s woman, an''my ferry all the same day-- an''git away with it?
22180Who had tied her?
22180Who is he, an''what''s she so anxious he do n''t git shot fer?"
22180Who is he?
22180Who was he?
22180Who would?"
22180Whose business is it if I was over there sixteen times?
22180Why acquaint Purdy with the fact of the reward?
22180Why did n''t someone haze him off?
22180Why did n''t the fool thing git out of the way?"
22180Why did n''t they keep it to themselves?"
22180Why do n''t you ask Cass where he''s be''n, sometime?
22180Why had she ridden after this Texan, and why was she on the river with him?
22180Why in hell could n''t you of shot a half an inch lower that night?"
22180Why should she be so concerned about her husband?
22180Why would n''t anyone want to live there?
22180With a dexterous contortion of his nether lip, the man gathered an end of his huge moustache into the corner of his mouth:"What would it be?"
22180Would he hold her safe for a thousand dollars?
22180Would he never come?
22180Would they sit there on the fence and see him killed?
22180Yer too good for a horse- thief, eh?
22180Yes, I''ll promise,"he answered,"an'', now, what''s your plan?"
22180You ai n''t askin''me just so I wo n''t feel-- left out?
22180You ai n''t be''n rustlin''horses, have you?
22180You git that, do you?
22180You mean Tex Benton?
22180You mean Y Bar Colston?
22180You sure would n''t pull out an''leave, after me savin''you from the river, would you?"
22180You wo n''t disappoint us?"
22180You''re Tex''s side kick an''your regular name''s Bat, ai n''t it?
22180You''re the go- between?"
22180You''ve got your guns on, why do n''t you shoot?"
22180asked the girl, a gleam of hope lighting her eyes,"and then you''ll turn me over to my husband?
22180came exultingly, from behind Purdy''s rock,"if you do, what''ll become of_ her_--the pilgrim''s woman?
22180cried Purdy,"d''ye mean Tex-- Tex Benton?"
22180cried Purdy,"what do you mean, off?"
22180cried Tex,"what''s McWhorter''s girl got to do with it?"
22180exclaimed Janet,"have you been talking about Purdy all this time?"
22180exclaimed the marshal,"dead or alive?"
22180he called, loudly,"''s Y Bar went up?"
22180he cried leaning forward in the saddle,"where''s my wife?"
22180he exclaimed,"Where is she?
22180he patted her shoulder gently,"why, what''s the matter?
22180he repeated,"where''s Tex?"
22180laughed the Texan,"what are you tryin''to do-- scare me out?"
22180repeated the man,"ai n''t that a kind of a rough way, pardner, to ask a question of a stranger?
22180she asked herself,"and why should the fact that Purdy had ridden away with his friend have affected him so?
22180she asked,"Is n''t there an old half- breed named Bat?"
22180she faltered,"what''s Purdy got on you?
22180she sobbed,"oh-- can you ever forgive me?
27051A brute, eh?
27051A deal?
27051A plant?
27051Able to talk?
27051Accuse him of what, ma''am?
27051Afraid?
27051Afraid?
27051Ai n''t it?
27051Ai n''t you heard about it? 27051 Ai n''t you scared he''ll git lost-- runnin''around alone without anyone to look after him?"
27051All you want is Doubler''s land?
27051And then?
27051And when?
27051Are we to judge-- to condemn? 27051 As a usual thing it is pretty hard to get rid of a nester, is n''t it?"
27051Before you found Doubler?
27051But ca n''t you do_ something_?
27051But is n''t your stepfather your friend?
27051But those that you have seen?
27051But you ai n''t now?
27051Ca n''t sleep, eh?
27051Ca n''t you do something?
27051Calves?
27051Cares and Worry?
27051Caught with the goods?
27051City?
27051Could n''t you pull him out with your lariat-- like you did me?
27051Could you give me a drink of water, ma''am?
27051Could your friends say more than my friends said when they thought that I had murdered my own father in cold blood and then run away?
27051Creased him?
27051Cross, too?
27051Crying?
27051Dakota?
27051Dead?
27051Did Duncan mention that he was a friend of mine?
27051Did I say that I expected you to see?
27051Did she tell you that she forgot to thank me for saving her?
27051Did you marry him as this man says you did?
27051Did you think that I was going to let him drown?
27051Do n''t you know?
27051Do n''t you see?
27051Do you know where the Double R ranch is?
27051Do you mean that father has visited Dakota?
27051Do you mean that?
27051Do you remember the night that I came home and told you and father how Dakota had rescued me from the quicksand? 27051 Do you see how the trails have crossed?
27051Do you think they will come for you to- night?
27051Do you want him in here?
27051Do?
27051Does it make any difference now? 27051 Double crossed you?"
27051Duncan tell you that?
27051Duncan?
27051Eh?
27051Envying me? 27051 For the doctor?"
27051Have I?
27051Have you ever seen a man die? 27051 Have you got everything you want?
27051Have you told your father yet?
27051Have you tried--Langford looked obliquely at Duncan, drawling significantly--"force?"
27051Have you viewed the corpse, Allen?
27051He is not straight, then?
27051He_ is_ a character, is n''t he? 27051 Him?"
27051His talk?
27051How are you offering to pay the thousand?
27051How are you, my friend?
27051How could I,he returned, fixing her with an amused glance,"with you looking so appealingly at me?"
27051How do I know you ai n''t lyin''to me?
27051How do I know?
27051How do you know Dakota''s tryin''to do that?
27051How do you know that Dakota killed him?
27051How do you know that Dakota would do anything like that?
27051How do you know that?
27051How do you know?
27051How do you like the country?
27051How do you purpose to accomplish this?
27051How does a man know anything in this country? 27051 How far?"
27051How long has that been goin''on?
27051How long have these men lived in the vicinity of the Double R?
27051How long have you been here? 27051 How old are you?"
27051How should I know?
27051How''s he done that? 27051 How''s that?"
27051How?
27051Hurting me? 27051 I believe you mentioned your suspicions to Dakota himself, did n''t you?
27051I pay for heem?
27051I reckon that you''ve forgot that your horse has got a brand on him?
27051I reckon you know a heap about Dakota, do n''t you?
27051I reckon you know that Langford wants your land mighty bad, do n''t you? 27051 I reckon you''ll put it in writing?"
27051I reckon you''re that Langford girl?
27051I reckon you''ve got the same notion as your father-- that I shot Doubler?
27051I suppose I have a right to ride where I please?
27051I suppose that is proof enough?
27051I thought you was going with your father?
27051If he does n''t die?
27051In the morning?
27051Indians, you mean, I reckon? 27051 Is it you or the parson?"
27051Is it?
27051Is n''t that the chap who shot that half- breed over in Lazette the day I came?
27051Is that strange? 27051 Is this true?"
27051It''s odd, ai n''t it?
27051Killed him?
27051Meanin''?
27051Meanin''that Langford''s been to see Dakota?
27051Meanin''that Langford''s hired Dakota to look for me?
27051Meaning Dakota?
27051Meaning that I''m afraid of him, I reckon?
27051Meaning that there are road agents and such?
27051Meaning that you want an explanation of my action in burning that signed agreement, I suppose?
27051Meaning what, you damned coyote?
27051Meaning what?
27051Meaning?
27051Mine?
27051Murderer?
27051My dear girl, did I say that he had been''killed''?
27051My friend?
27051No?
27051No?
27051No?
27051Not around here?
27051Not dead?
27051Not drinkin''?
27051Not safe?
27051Not taking any chances?
27051Not your father?
27051Not''square,''as you say in this country?
27051Not?
27051Not?
27051Odd, ai n''t it?
27051Odd, is n''t it?
27051Of course, my dear; why should n''t I? 27051 Ranchers?"
27051Restrictions?
27051Ride far?
27051Rustler?
27051She tell you anything else?
27051She told you, then?
27051She''s told you what?
27051Shine?
27051So Doubler''s been gassing again?
27051So he was n''t a rustler, after all?
27051So it''s a plant, eh?
27051So she sent you over here?
27051So that''s the reason Doubler was so friendly to his rifle this morning?
27051So this Ben Doubler has been a thorn in your side?
27051So you are all afraid of him?
27051So you have n''t forgotten?
27051So you have n''t told your father?
27051So you''re going to Lazette, taking it on to him?
27051So you''re riding the fiver trail again?
27051So you''re stuck on that Langford girl, are you?
27051Still trying to ride the crooked trail?
27051Storm bother you?
27051That has been said by a great many people, has n''t it? 27051 That''s a long time, is n''t it?
27051That''s odd, is n''t it? 27051 That''s part of your business, I suppose?"
27051The end?
27051The law?
27051The river trail?
27051Then Duncan has sold out?
27051Then I presume you have others in mind-- whom you will shoot when the mood strikes you?
27051Then I reckon you ai n''t got no use for rustlers?
27051Then he likes you?
27051Then how does it happen that you are here? 27051 Then when you signed the agreement you did n''t mean to keep it?"
27051Then why did n''t you save the pony first?
27051Then why did you come over here? 27051 Then you ai n''t been riding with your father?"
27051Then you are ambitious?
27051Then you have n''t been hired to kill him?
27051Then you have n''t heard the news?
27051Then you know me?
27051Then you will have Duncan charge Dakota with the murder?
27051Then,she said eagerly, catching at the hope which he held out to her,"father did n''t hire you to kill him?
27051They are ranchers, I suppose?
27051They''ll arrest him, I suppose?
27051They''ve been stealing the Double R cattle, you say?
27051This business?
27051This is a joke, I suppose?
27051This is n''t such a big world, after all, is it?
27051Throw down?
27051To thank me-- for her?
27051Tried everything?
27051Want to try it again?
27051Were you shooting?
27051What are you doing to do?
27051What are you figuring to do now?
27051What are you going to do now?
27051What business was he in?
27051What calves, my frien''?
27051What can they do then?
27051What did father visit you for? 27051 What do you mean?"
27051What do you mean?
27051What do you reckon would have happened to you if I had tried to pull you out by the neck?
27051What does this mean? 27051 What evidence?"
27051What for? 27051 What has he been saying?"
27051What have you come out here for?
27051What is it?
27051What is odd? 27051 What is odd?"
27051What is odd?
27051What is your father''s name?
27051What is?
27051What made you try that shallow?
27051What makes you think that you could hire me to put Doubler out of business?
27051What news?
27051What on earth have you done to her?
27051What particular thing are_ you_ looking for?
27051What will they do?
27051What would you do? 27051 What''s he allowin''to be now?"
27051What''s he been doing? 27051 What''s he callin''himself''Texas''for?"
27051What''s up?
27051What''s wrong?
27051When have I been cross?
27051When is he coming out here?
27051Where are you from?
27051Where are you going?
27051Where are you going?
27051Where are you going?
27051Where did you see Dakota?
27051Where''s Dakota now?
27051Where''s the Double R?
27051Where''s your new boss?
27051Where?
27051Where?
27051Which way?
27051Which?
27051Who are you?
27051Who are you?
27051Who did you find shot? 27051 Who did, then?"
27051Who has been murdered?
27051Who has been telling you this?
27051Who killed him?
27051Who told you that?
27051Who told you that?
27051Who told you that?
27051Who was it?
27051Who?
27051Who?
27051Who?
27051Why did n''t you tell me that before? 27051 Why do n''t you ask your father about that?"
27051Why do n''t you have them arrested?
27051Why do n''t you shoot him yourself?
27051Why not ride over with them, in the afternoon, in the buckboard?
27051Why not?
27051Why should n''t I like him?
27051Why, what else is there to tell?
27051Why,he answered slowly,"I reckon that is n''t odd, is it?
27051Why? 27051 Why?"
27051Why?
27051Why?
27051Why?
27051Why?
27051Why?
27051Why?
27051Would it have made any difference to you?
27051Would you mind telling me what''taking a shine''to anyone means?
27051You alone?
27051You and Dakota friendly?
27051You are afraid of him, too I suppose?
27051You are determined to continue to meddle, are you?
27051You are going, I suppose?
27051You are willing to take Duncan''s word for it?
27051You been in the habit of forming opinions of men you''ve never talked to?
27051You been seeing white savages?
27051You certainly rode some, did n''t you, ma''am?
27051You do n''t like him, I reckon?
27051You got any objections to telling me your name? 27051 You got the license?"
27051You here for a visit?
27051You know Dakota?
27051You like it here? 27051 You like your father, I reckon?"
27051You mean Dakota?
27051You mean that it was bad business for me to sell when I knowed Doubler owned land near the Double R?
27051You met him coming from Doubler''s cabin, I suppose?
27051You say she married him-- Ned Keegles?
27051You see,he mocked,"how odd it is?
27051You seen Dakota lately?
27051You take it?
27051You think I shot Doubler, too, do n''t you? 27051 You''ll pay,"said Dakota, an ominously quiet drawl in his voice,"or----""Or what?"
27051You''re the owner of the Double R?
27051You''ve been inquiring about him, then?
27051You''ve got all the rest of those things you spoke about, then-- happiness, money, and such?
27051You''ve got no objections to me looking at it?
27051You''ve never been stung before, eh? 27051 You?"
27051Your business principles do n''t take you quite that far, eh? 27051 Your father too, I reckon-- has he been happy?"
27051Your stepfather?
27051Your vengeance?
27051An odd one, but attractive?"
27051An uncommon middle name, is n''t it?"
27051And even if Langford were only her stepfather, would she not have felt it her duty to align herself with him?
27051And so you''ve come over to get me to shoot him?
27051And then, when Langford''s face flushed with a realization of the subtle insult, Allen said gruffly:"You say Doubler''s dead?"
27051And while she sat awaiting the turn of events his voice again startled her:"I reckon you''ve stampeded off your range, ma''am?"
27051And yet, was it not odd that, when he had told her of the trouble between him and her father, she had not immediately taken her parent''s side?
27051Are there no other ranches around here-- no other cattlemen?"
27051Are you troubled with insomnia?"
27051Assuredly you would not allow Dakota to go unpunished?"
27051But how are you going to prevent him staying there?"
27051But we do n''t all see things the same way, do we?
27051But what do you know about Langford?
27051But who told you?
27051Can you say that about him?"
27051Coming out in the morning?"
27051Could it be that she had merely pretended this coldness?
27051Could n''t your father have doctored-- gone abroad-- to recover his health?
27051Could she bear his reproaches, his pity, after her heedlessness?
27051Could she tell him?
27051Could you suggest anything?"
27051Did he live here alone?
27051Did he tell you about Langford coming to see him?
27051Did n''t he give Blanca his chance?
27051Did n''t he hire you to-- to kill him?"
27051Did n''t he know she was getting wet?
27051Did n''t he tell you in front of me that he was going to make trouble for you?
27051Did n''t he tell you that he was going to''get''you?"
27051Did you notice how cool he took it?"
27051Did you offer to buy it?"
27051Do n''t you know?"
27051Do n''t you think that at my age it is a little late to start?"
27051Do you care to be responsible for the death of a fellow being?"
27051Do you hear?
27051Do you know where Dakota came from?
27051Do you remember how he killed that Mexican half- breed over in Lazette that day?--the day I came?
27051Do you think she forgot it intentionally?"
27051Do you want a fire?"
27051Do you want to know the truth?
27051Does that killing help to make him attractive?"
27051Doubler''s interest was now intense; he spoke eagerly:"What did they say?"
27051Duncan has made himself agreeable?"
27051For had not nature conspired against her?
27051Frontispiece"Wo n''t you please get us out of this?"
27051Had not her father warned her?
27051Had she lost her idea of direction?
27051Had the nester died since she had left his cabin?
27051Have you no ambition?"
27051Have you, ma''am?"
27051He caught Sheila''s nod and questioned coldly:"Who burned it?"
27051He is a character, do n''t you think?"
27051He''s going to be my neighbor, is n''t he?"
27051Her friends in the East whose good wishes, whose respect, she desired?
27051How do you know I did?"
27051How do you know but that they''ve been friends back East?
27051How do you know that Langford and Dakota ai n''t friends?
27051How do you know that he is not dead?"
27051How long?"
27051Hurting you?"
27051I meant, however another kind-- I believe they are called''bad men,''are they not?
27051I reckon there was n''t anyone else to send my horse over by?"
27051I reckon you know that Langford ai n''t any friendly to you?"
27051I reckon you told him about Langford wanting your land-- about him telling you he''d make things hot for you?"
27051I reckon you''re not thinking of doing the killing yourself?"
27051I reckoned you was too smart for anyone to do that to you?"
27051I suppose you care a lot about Doubler''s happiness-- you would n''t want to take his land if you knew he was happy on it?
27051Is n''t there anything besides what you already have that appeals to you?
27051It does look pretty bad for me, for a fact, does n''t it?
27051Lived well, too, I suppose-- plenty of money, luxuries, happiness?"
27051Men who kill for hire?"
27051No?"
27051Now could you?"
27051Or do n''t it make any difference to you?"
27051Or was his a mental sickness?"
27051Perhaps Doubler would not die?
27051That my father should be happy-- that I should?"
27051That right?
27051The crooked one and the straight one?"
27051The day you went over after the calves?
27051Then his voice came with a truculent snap:"You alone?"
27051Then who do you like?"
27051Then why should he want to live here?"
27051There had been a mistake, of course, but what did it matter now?
27051To be sure, she had told him that Langford was merely her stepfather, but could not that statement also have been a misleading one?
27051To bid him good- bye?
27051To- morrow who takes the Star?
27051Vivid in her recollection was the curious expression on his face when he had said to her just before leaving her that night:"Wo n''t you believe me?"
27051Was Fate indeed running this game-- if game it might be called?
27051Was n''t it about Doubler?
27051Was n''t that fair?"
27051We ai n''t been introduced, you know?"
27051What are you doing here?"
27051What are you figuring to do about Doubler?"
27051What beauty was there, for instance, in a country where there was nothing but space and silence and grotesque weeds-- and rain?
27051What business had you to interfere?
27051What business is it of yours if Doubler dies?"
27051What could he say?
27051What for?
27051What if he were a road agent-- an outlaw?
27051What if the man did not belong to the Double R?
27051What made him lose that?"
27051What makes people want to move around like that?"
27051What strange fatality had linked her sympathies and admiration with his enemies?
27051What then?
27051What was she going to do?
27051What would be a fair price for it?"
27051What would he say if he knew?
27051What would her father say when he heard of it-- of her marriage to a cowboy, an unprincipled scoundrel?
27051What would her friends say when they heard of it-- as they must hear if she went to the law for redress?
27051What''s that?
27051What''s wrong?"
27051Where are the others?"
27051Where you goin''to?"
27051Who has been murdered?"
27051Who sent him?"
27051Who was it?"
27051Who?
27051Why could he not have shown some evidence of remorse for his crime against her?
27051Why did n''t he offer her shelter?
27051Why did n''t you let him die?
27051Why did n''t you tell me when-- the night I married you?"
27051Why do n''t you act decent and come out like a man?"
27051Why in hell do n''t you surrender decently?
27051Why not?
27051Why should he betray interest now?
27051Why?
27051Will you please hurry?
27051Will you please let go of that bridle?"
27051Wo n''t you believe me?"
27051Would she be able to face her father again?
27051Yet after another long silence his voice came again-- drawling, well- controlled, as before:"What is he coming out here for?"
27051You did n''t talk to father about that?"
27051You had quite a talk with him about them, did n''t you?"
27051You will start for the East immediately, I presume?"
27051You''ve burned it-- won''t recognize it, eh?
27051You?"
27051Your father-- do you hear?
27051[ Illustration:"WON''T YOU PLEASE GET US OUT OF THIS?"]
27051she said scornfully, certain that he was mocking her again-- for how could his interest be genuine when he was a party to the plot to murder Doubler?
28579''S about Moses?
28579Ai n''t I t''have no gun?
28579Ai n''t she up yet?
28579All that''s there? 28579 An''what d''ye think I pack a gun for?
28579And Beulah?
28579And do I marry the girl?
28579And is there no stones there, or stumps?
28579And so you are going to Manitoba?
28579And suppose I do n''t like the look of the mine when I see it?
28579And we shall build our own home, and live our own lives, and love each other-- always,--only, for ever and ever?
28579And what luck have ye had?
28579And you knew she was going?
28579And you were a party to this, were you? 28579 And you were n''t going to give me a word in all those preparations for our future?
28579And your father? 28579 Any tooth- marks there?
28579As a juror or witness?
28579Beulah Harris,he demanded, in his quiet voice,"what are you doing here?"
28579Beulah, will you call Lilian, and your mother, too? 28579 Beulah,"he said, trying to speak calmly,"do n''t you think this nonsense has gone far enough?"
28579Bought it at six dollars, did n''t you? 28579 Brother?"
28579Bush? 28579 But after we get there?"
28579But are ye sure it has no been all ploughed some time?
28579But what about Jim? 28579 But where is it?"
28579But whereby do they make their fences, if they ha''no cedar rails?
28579Ca n''t a girl say a fellow''s fine- looking without being soft about it?
28579Can you tell me,she said, in a low voice,"where the jail is?
28579Could n''t think of making five thousand dollars in a week? 28579 D''ye suppose we could sell the farm?"
28579D''ye suppose we could sell the farm?
28579Did n''t I build you a good house and buy furniture for it, and do I stint you in what you spend, either on the table or yourself? 28579 Did we?
28579Didja get my letter?
28579Didja sell the farm?
28579Do n''t say?
28579Do n''t you think Fred has shown good judgment in the design? 28579 Do n''t you think you have done enough?"
28579Do n''t you think you were-- well, perhaps, a little hasty with him?
28579Fences? 28579 Goin''to visit Jim and Beulah?"
28579Guess you ought to know our visitor, Jim, should n''t you?
28579Harris, is your wife sick?
28579Has the bush all been cleared away?
28579Has there been an accident? 28579 Have you any money?"
28579Have you thought it over, Beulah?
28579Hello, farmers,he cried,"how goes the battle?
28579Here I''ve slaved and saved until I''m an-- an old woman, and what better are we for it? 28579 Home?
28579How did I get here, Beulah?
28579How did we all get here? 28579 How many like me do you think you could lick?"
28579How much can he get for it?
28579How much space can be allotted to each?
28579How''re we goin''t''get him out here with all that money?
28579How''s Allan?
28579How''s your thirst, Hiram?
28579However did you know they were there?
28579I ai n''t changed my mind,he said,"but I do n''t know''s I said anything bindin'', did I?
28579I suppose you''ve sent home word to sell your farm, have you?
28579Independent of what?
28579Innocent, ai n''t chuh?
28579Introdush me? 28579 Is n''t that right?"
28579Is not that sufficient?
28579Is the Injuns werry big?
28579Is there a railroad near, or how do you get at it?
28579Is there never going to be any let- up to it?
28579It''s pretty to look at,said McCrae,"but I guess you did n''t come West for scenery, did you?"
28579Just the same, I think there''s lots more chances to use our money to advantage here than down in Manitoba, do n''t you?
28579Left here? 28579 Let me lie down, ca n''t you?
28579Mary, Mary, do n''t you know me?
28579Mr. Coroner,said Beulah, rising and pointing at Gardiner,"will you make that man take his gauntlets off?"
28579No home, John? 28579 Nobody sick, or anything?"
28579Nothin''ser''ous, I hope? 28579 Now, how many like me can you lick?"
28579Of course, while we are away, why should n''t you have a visit?
28579Oh, Jack, are you killed?
28579Oh, ca n''t you see that we''re just reaping what has been sown-- the crop we''re been raising through ail these years? 28579 On my account?
28579Ready for the road in the morning, Jack? 28579 Robbers, did you say?"
28579Say, Harris, you''re friend o''mine, but do n''t take too many liberties, see? 28579 Sell it?"
28579So I might o''been, but I thought we kind o''made a date last night, did n''t we?
28579So that''s it, is it?
28579So that''s your decision, is it? 28579 So you wo n''t tell me, eh?
28579So you''re goin''to take his part, too? 28579 So you''re not drinkin''?"
28579Some coop, ai n''t it?
28579Suppose I say I am?
28579Tell me,said Riles, his face lit up with interest,"how d''ye do it?"
28579Thas''so?
28579The inquest is to be to- morrow, is n''t it?
28579The one you got credit for bein''mixed up in?
28579Then I guess this dollar stands for''beat it''?
28579Then it was for robbery?
28579Then what''ll happen?
28579They''ll be all well at home, I hope?
28579This still stands at par, does n''t it?
28579Thish is Dr. Blain, late of-- late of-- wash that, McCrae? 28579 Trading it out?
28579Waiting for me?
28579Well, ai n''t we going to put up somewhere?
28579Well, what are you going to do about it?
28579Well, what did you hear him say?
28579Well, what more do you want?
28579Well, what''s the matter with it? 28579 Well, why the devil did n''t you say so?
28579Wha''for? 28579 What about me?"
28579What are you doing here?
28579What are you going to do after you get your new farm? 28579 What d''ye say if we sell the old farm anyway, and then if this mine business do n''t look good, we''ll plunk it into farm land?"
28579What d''ye think of it, Dad?
28579What d''ye think of it, Dad?
28579What d''ye think, Dad? 28579 What did he build it for?
28579What do you mean? 28579 What do you mean?"
28579What do you think of that?
28579What do you want a gun for?
28579What do you want to go to town for again to- night, anyway?
28579What do you worry about? 28579 What does it mean, John?"
28579What does it mean?
28579What have you done to him?
28579What if I clear out through the night?
28579What is it, Jack? 28579 What is it, Uncle Fred?"
28579What is it?
28579What is your business, Aleck?
28579What kept you?
28579What like wheat can ye grow?
28579What matters if-- if everything''s all right?
28579What notion''s this father''s got about Riles, do you suppose, mother?
28579What plans have you made? 28579 What shall we eat?"
28579What''s that?
28579What''s the matter, Dad?
28579What''s the matter, Uncle Fred? 28579 Whatche doing, Harris?"
28579Where do you come in on this deal? 28579 Where do you think of goin''?"
28579Where going, Dad?
28579Where in Sam Hill did you come from?
28579Where is this coal mine, and who''s got it?
28579Where''s Beulah?
28579Where''s Beulah?
28579Where''s Harris going?
28579Where''s some paper?
28579Where''s your mother, Beulah?
28579Who says that?
28579Who''s there?
28579Who, Beulah? 28579 Who, Dad?
28579Who, me?
28579Why are the cows not milked?
28579Why do n''t you get married, Mac?
28579Why not? 28579 Why should you be so insistent?"
28579Why, whatever has happened?
28579Why?
28579You ai n''t goin''t''wait till a railroad comes, are you? 28579 You did n''t expect he''d wait to kiss you good- bye, did you?"
28579You did n''t figure on seeing me here, did you?
28579You do n''t learn anything, Riles, do you? 28579 You do n''t mean that you intend to sell this farm?"
28579You do n''t mean that you''d do anythin''--anythin''that was n''t right?
28579You do n''t mean to say you have stayed here just on my account?
28579You do n''t say? 28579 You got the land fever, too?"
28579You had the facts-- why did n''t you patch them together for yourself? 28579 You have n''t got a gun you could lend me, I suppose?"
28579You know Gardiner?
28579You know we have been losing calves with the timber wolves? 28579 You mean if we do n''t come through, they will?"
28579You understand that, do n''t you? 28579 You would n''t do that?"
28579You''ll be chipping in at the same time?
28579You''ll be looking for land?
28579You''ll promise, wo n''t you? 28579 You''re leaving us, Beulah?"
28579You''re not going to leave us, mother, are you?
28579You''re not going to leave your ploughing, are you?
28579You''re sure you''ll want me?
28579You? 28579 Your oldest pupil must be-- let me see-- not less than eight?"
28579''Can you ride?''
28579Ai n''t I your father?"
28579Ai n''t that worth a sacrifice?"
28579An''the good wives?
28579An''why for would ye fence a farm, ye unsociable body?
28579And after all, had n''t it been worth while?
28579And ai n''t I ready to do the same with the new homestead, if that''s the sticker?"
28579And are there two windows?
28579And did you see the mountains this morning?
28579And have n''t they been thick as molasses this while back?
28579And if I get my price, why should n''t I sell?"
28579And if it comes to a show- down, and he must go-- well, he must, but you and I will stay with the old farm, wo n''t we, mother?"
28579And if you get more land wo n''t all your troubles be increased in proportion?
28579And in the meantime he''s forgetting the things that would satisfy-- the love that was ours, the little devo-- Oh, child, what am I saying?
28579And then, when I get settled on my own homestead, you''ll come and keep house for me, wo n''t you?"
28579And were not all his labours directed toward increasing her reserve against the rainy day?
28579And when Dad gets settled again, and gets all these worries off his mind, then things''ll be different, and you''ll come, even if he is there?"
28579And, as I said before, what are you going to do about it?
28579Are you ill?"
28579Are you shot?"
28579Aside from you, why should I call this place home?
28579At first it numbed him a little, and his face was a strange colour as he turned to his companion, and said, in a low voice,"Ai n''t it risky?
28579But have we the happiness we knew when we had none of these?
28579But he had suffered for their sakes, holding fast to his own course because he knew it to be best... Best?
28579But what am I thinkin''of?
28579But who is the third?"
28579But why--""Why, dear, do n''t you see?
28579But you''re not really goin''to let her go?
28579By the way, perhaps you know him-- comes from Plainville part-- Travers his name is?"
28579Ca n''t you use a marked cheque, or a draft on a Calgary bank?"
28579Could it be this old cabin, these rotting logs, this earthy floor, that were stirring memory cells asleep for twenty years?
28579Could n''t you fix it some way to get the money without coming back, if everything looks all right?
28579Could n''t your wife do her visitin''no other time?"
28579D''ye want me to tell ye a story?"
28579Dead as ever?"
28579Did n''t he give her a good home, with plenty to eat and wear, and a little money to spend from time to time, and no questions asked?
28579Did n''t she always do as she was told?
28579Did n''t you promise toast?
28579Do n''t you complain about the kind of help the farmers have to hire nowadays, and the wages they have to pay?
28579Do n''t you see what I mean?
28579Do you know?"
28579Do you mean that she has run away?"
28579Do you want to see that, too?"
28579For God''s sake, what has happened?
28579Frost, or somethin''?"
28579Gardiner showed no disposition to reopen the conversation about Plainville, so at last Riles asked,"How d''you know I was here?"
28579Gardiner?"
28579Had he been asleep?
28579Had they been shot down as they wound through the woods?
28579Harris was rushing about the rotten floor in the darkness, crying,"What is it, Allan?
28579Harris, Harris, what did you waste time arguing for?"
28579Harris... I think we are quite ready now, are we not?"
28579Harris?"
28579Harris?"
28579Harris?"
28579Harrises well, I hope?"
28579Have I got to die on end, like a murderer?"
28579Have n''t I given you everything-- given you a home, and all that, and are you goin''to defy me in my own house?"
28579Have you no sentiment that will save it from the highest bidder?"
28579Have you yours?"
28579He felt that he was entitled to this, for was it not for her that he was making the sacrifice?
28579He says there''s all kinds o''money in it, an''I reckon that''s what we came out here for, ai n''t it?"
28579He''s worth yards of money, ai n''t he?"
28579Him''at lit out from Plainville after that stealin''affair?"
28579His father was clambering to his feet with"Allan, what is it?
28579How about this plan of yours?"
28579How d''ye like this air?
28579How does it suit you?"
28579How is he?
28579How is it you go back on me in a moment like this?
28579How juhdo, Princhessh?"
28579How much can he raise?"
28579How much is a ticket to Calgary?"
28579How you makin''it go you''self?"
28579How''s everybody?
28579How''s that suit you?"
28579How''s the old burg?
28579How?"
28579I do n''t care how much you''re worth-- how much is Harris bringing with him?"
28579I suppose you think the horses will stable themselves?
28579I''d--""Would you live in a shack?"
28579I''ll give you one more chance to answer me-- what kept you?"
28579If somebody else wants it worse''n we do, and has the money to pay for it, why should n''t I sell it?"
28579If the soil was n''t all right it would n''t grow native crops like that, would it?"
28579Is he here, and-- is he fit?"
28579Is n''t that something worth breathing?"
28579Is the policeman gone?
28579Is there any place in town she would be likely to go to?
28579Is this place-- this home where we have grown old and grey-- nothing to you?
28579Is your old gink up in the hills coming through for half?"
28579It would be a plain, simple life, but Beulah was accustomed-- What had Beulah to do with it?
28579It''d be easy enough to get away with the stuff, but how''d you turn it into money?
28579Lots of fellows are making big money just because they had some capital to work with, and why should n''t we do it, too?
28579McCrae?"
28579More than that, did n''t I put the title to the homestead in your name?
28579Morrison?"
28579No harm in having one along, is there?"
28579No home?
28579Nothing that has happened, or can happen, will keep you from making my home yours, will it?
28579Nothing unusual about a wife going with her husband, is there?"
28579Now can you think of anything?"
28579Now, will you come with me or wait for the seven?
28579Now, will you take first shot?"
28579Of course, you remember that I have n''t promised to put up a dollar unless I like the looks of the mine when I see it?"
28579On the contrary, are you not worried morning, noon, and night over your work and your property?
28579Or to keep the badgers in?
28579Perhaps Mrs. Harris is down East?
28579Say, Jim, honest goods,"she demanded, pausing and facing him, milk stool in hand,"why do you let father put this kind of stuff over on you?"
28579Say, Jim, honest, what makes you do it?"
28579Seven dollars?
28579Shall I tell you what I know?"
28579Shay, whash thish?
28579She is n''t back yet?"
28579Shildren v Ishrul?"
28579Siberia or Patagonia?
28579T''tell the time by?
28579That''d be safer, would n''t it?"
28579That''s the way you feel about it too, is n''t it?"
28579The only question is, Can they grow anything on that land out there?"
28579Then suddenly he demanded:"Shay, Harris, where you takin''me to, anyway?"
28579They''ve got a murd''rer in there now-- Oh, say"--with a sudden change in his voice--"maybe he''s somethin''to you?
28579To keep the gophers out?
28579To take off his boots in?
28579Twenty years, eh, Jim?
28579Was n''t he a good father?
28579Was n''t it over wasting time with her that Jim got fired, and not a word of admission of the real facts from him?
28579Was n''t it when we lived in the one- roomed sod shanty, with scarcely a cent to bless ourselves?
28579Was not all he had hers?
28579We did n''t, John; you were too busy with your wheat and your cattle, and I was too busy with my house- work, and what have we made of it?
28579We have the chance to choose now between life and land; wo n''t you think it all over again and let us seek that which is really worth while?"
28579We''d better find a corner post an?
28579We--""But who_ does_ own the mine?"
28579Well, I guess I beat you all out, eh?
28579Were you expecting him to meet you?''
28579West, is it, or East?
28579What about Mrs. Goode''s boarding- house?
28579What about him?"
28579What are we here for, anyway?
28579What are you chasing-- more land?"
28579What cold breath of dread had crossed his path?
28579What d''you say?"
28579What do you say?"
28579What do you think of it?
28579What has happened?"
28579What have you been foolin''about?"
28579What home?
28579What if he did keep your old engine waiting?
28579What if the police catch on?"
28579What is it, Allan?"
28579What more account mine than yours?"
28579What more could a man do than that?
28579What more do you want than that?
28579What more proof do I want?
28579What next?
28579What was the happiest time in your life?
28579What was this policeman going to do, anyway?
28579What''s the answer?"
28579What''s wrong, Miss Harris?
28579What''s wrong?"
28579When did ever Beulah carry on like this before?
28579Where are you going?"
28579Where in the world do you want to go?"
28579Where is that money?"
28579Which is it?"
28579Who is it?"
28579Who''s drinkin with me?"
28579Why not show that you are not all bad-- that you have some human sentiments in you?
28579Why should he divide with Riles-- Riles, who would only hoard it up, and who had plenty of money already?
28579Why should she?
28579Why, to- night George Grant stopped on his way home to say a word to me, and what do you suppose he said?
28579Will he sell the farm?"
28579Will you start a fire in the range?"
28579Worth the trip themselves, are n''t they?"
28579Would he never stop and deliver his ultimatum?
28579Ye''ll have a bite supper, an''stable the team?"
28579You and Allan can milk the cows to- night, for I won''t-- see?"
28579You ca n''t work two farms a thousand miles apart, can you?"
28579You did n''t really think I would do that?"
28579You do n''t mean that?"
28579You made a little money there yourself, did n''t you?"
28579You mind Gard''ner?
28579You think Gardiner''s all square in it?"
28579You understand?
28579You understand?"
28579You were n''t insinuating anything, were you, Hiram?"
28579You will arrange that?"
28579You''ll be taking the train?
28579You-- you would n''t even stop at that?
28579she exclaimed-- she always called me Beulah--''Goodness, child, what are you doing about this early in the morning?
39237Ah Poiter, put my grip in Thoiteen,and"Ah Poiter, will you raise my window and put in a deflector?"
39237And the registration is to come off at Oristown?
39237And what does that mean?
39237And where is Oristown?
39237Anything more?
39237Attend to what?
39237But nothing can happen,I defended, nonplused,"can there?"
39237But why does he do it, Mama? 39237 Do n''t you know that man Nunemaker is the biggest grafter in Oristown?
39237Do n''t you like the name?
39237Does a man have to knock you down to take a hint?
39237Got who?
39237How did you get money?
39237How long?
39237How much?
39237How much?
39237How''ll I trade mules? 39237 Is she quite out of danger?"
39237Is that so?
39237Mrs. McCraline,I said, speaking in a firm tone,"Do you believe this?"
39237Now, do you hear?
39237Now, my plan is,I started, with a determined expression,"to have you call her up, see?"
39237O why?
39237Oh, ca n''t I get away from you? 39237 Said about you?"
39237Then we will, wo n''t we?
39237Well Devereaux,he said,"do you think that you can run a car?"
39237Well,he seemed to roar in a commanding way,"Why do n''t you bring him to the house?"
39237What are you doing in my house, after what you said about me?
39237What does all that mean?
39237What is your price?
39237What say?
39237What were the d-- Nicholsons sticking their noses into Tipp county towns for? 39237 Where is Orlean?"
39237Where?
39237Why, another Calias?
39237Will you and Ethel kindly leave the room for a few minutes? 39237 Yes, why do n''t you come to the house?"
39237Yes, yes,and then, her face seemed to brighten with an idea, and she said:"Why not go to a matinee?"
39237You have money?
39237Away when the child was born, eh?"
39237Brooks, where did you come from?--From San Antonio?
39237CHAPTER VI"AND WHERE IS ORISTOWN?"
39237Did n''t you get my letter?"
39237Do you hear?
39237Have n''t I told you I have enough?"
39237He fumbled his pencil thoughtfully while I waited nervously then went on:"And you feel quite capable of running a car, do you?"
39237He had only one animal, according to my horse- sense(?
39237He listened carefully and when I was through he said:"They gave you a warranty deed, did they not?"
39237He would let out a sort of yowl;"Little Joe, ca n''t you do it?"
39237Hill?"
39237However, the crowd were looking for encouragement and spoke up in chorus:"Do n''t the railroads always follow valleys?"
39237However, you call up in about an hour, and if he is still here, I''ll say''this is the wrong number, see?''"
39237Huh, do you suppose I want your old mule?"
39237I heard his voice say again,"Why do n''t you bring him to the house?"
39237I said:"What is the matter?
39237I went to her side and whispered:"Orlean, what in heaven''s name are you doing here?
39237I would sit through it all quite unemotional, and nightly I would be approached with"are n''t you ready?"
39237I''ve got a girl for you; what do you think of that?"
39237If he should have her relinquish, then where would I be, and the one thousand, five hundred dollars I had paid them?
39237McCraline?"
39237Mrs. Warner was over the next day, and said;"Where did you get the shoes?"
39237My heart went out to her, and I wanted to help and said:"Why did you not write to me, did n''t you know that I would have done something?"
39237Not answering me, he said to my wife:"Do you want your papa?"
39237Now if"the woman"was brought to look it over one of the first inquires she made would be,"Now is there plenty of water?"
39237Now what did it mean?
39237On the level now, or are you just chiding me?"
39237STRIKE?"
39237She appeared so pleased over the prospect and said:"Wo n''t he make a hit up here?
39237She continued to look hard at me, then meekly reached up and touched my chin, looked into my eyes, and said:"Why do n''t you wash your face?"
39237So now, my plan is that you go over to her house, see?
39237Strike?"
39237That was where the rub came in, which way would the road go?
39237The question uppermost in my mind became,"Would not I become like that, would I too, deny my race?"
39237Then someone suggested that it might be the same old game, and here would come a pause, then the question,"What old game?"
39237Then, looking into her eyes, I asked slowly,"Did Orlean tell you that?"
39237Then--"Ah, Poiter, will you tell me when we get to Valparaiso?"
39237Tried to steal a march on me, eh?"
39237Were they not satisfied with Calias, where they had grafted everybody out of their money?"
39237What more do you want?"
39237What was up?
39237When I called up the house later Ethel came to the phone, and said:"How dare you bring a''nigger doctor''to our house?
39237When I crossed the street one of the men who had tried to sell me a team jumped me with:"Well, they got you, did they?"
39237When he had answered, I continued in a more savage voice,"You ask my wife why she did not bring me to the house?"
39237When we got back, I sang the old story to which she answered with,"Do you really want me?"
39237Why do you go on so?
39237Why not go to M-- boro?
39237Why was Ernest Nicholson moving the bank of Calias five miles west of Megory and setting it down on or near the end of the survey?
39237Wo n''t it be fine?"
39237Wo n''t these white people be foolish over his fine looks and that beautiful white hair?"
39237You will see me, wo n''t you?"
39237and O, Mrs. Quante, would you care for some radishes, cucumbers or lettuce for tomorrow?
39237but that is a lot of land,"I exclaimed, getting interested,"and what is it worth an acre?"
39237did you say how''ll I trade mules?
39237wants you?"
30558''How?'' 30558 ''No,''I answer;''but because I''m blameless shall I become inhuman, and close my heart to all display of tenderness and pain?''
30558And Epictetus:''Were you to blame for the disease which cut them off? 30558 And if I refuse to draw the doctor into this to save myself?"
30558And what will you do with it? 30558 And you''ll come back here and tell me what he says, no matter what his opinion may be, before you act one way or another?"
30558Are they going to-- to--_dance_ in that building?
30558Are you holdin''down camp for him?
30558Are you on your way to Comanche?
30558Are you still chief of police there?
30558Because it represents itself as a church when it''s something else?
30558Been acquainted with him a good while?
30558But how about yourself?
30558But how_ do_ you get the water on this hilly land?
30558But if you''re on the''third bench''that I hear them talking about so much-- then what do you do up there, a thousand or two feet above the river?
30558But in case there are not enough to bring you down to the claim worth having-- one upon which you could plant trees and roses and such things?
30558But it would n''t be asking too much to expect you to respect some of the changes?
30558But what became of the adventurer with the scheme?
30558But where in this world have you been, man?
30558But why did she shoot a man? 30558 But you''re going to stay here, are n''t you?"
30558But_ did n''t_ one ever jump off a cliff or-- anything?
30558Can my son be removed from here?
30558Could you send word to Smith by the stage this morning and ask him to bring my things-- tent and everything-- down here?
30558Did I get him?
30558Did they leave two grips-- a suitcase and a doctor''s instrument- case-- with you?
30558Did they teach you the game of policy at Molly Bawn?
30558Did you ever pick up any gold on the other side?
30558Did you find it?
30558Did you go to that brute?
30558Do I see any more of your money, gents, before I roll the dice? 30558 Do I see any more of your money, gents?
30558Do n''t I?
30558Do n''t you hear him snort?
30558Do n''t you think,he asked, taking her hand tenderly as she walked by his side,"that you''d better let me do the rough work for you now?"
30558Do you care to sit out here and wait for them?
30558Do you know him?
30558Do you mind if Mr. Bentley and I go with you?
30558Do you remember how I showed you to hold that cone?
30558Do you remember me?
30558Do you suppose anybody ever went in there?
30558Do you think Jerry will recover?
30558Do you want to sell that watch?
30558Do you?
30558Doctor gone back?
30558Dr. Slavens has n''t come back?
30558Dr. Slavens? 30558 Feller come past here a little while ago?"
30558Has he wronged you, too?
30558Have you considered your own danger?
30558Have you determined what you are going to do?
30558Have you forgotten the other word-- is that all there is to it?
30558How could you?
30558How did it happen, Doctor? 30558 How did you know it was mother?"
30558How did you know that it''s the children that give me the strongest call back to the struggle?
30558How did you pick out the claim you filed on?
30558How do I know you ai n''t another crook?
30558How do people act when they take the lonesomeness?
30558How do they work it?
30558How much did you expect to get out of this pile of rocks?
30558How much did you lose?
30558I hope you''ve given up the thought of trying to explore it?
30558I paid for my bed in advance, you remember?
30558I was just goin''to say, would you mind goin''inside and lettin''that doctor man take your place for a while?
30558I wonder what he''s after?
30558I wonder where he is?
30558If I was to put up the ten, would you be willing to go over there now and put that scheme of yours in motion?
30558If you leave, what am I going to do?
30558Is it robbers?
30558Is it some kind of insurance?
30558Is n''t it?
30558Is n''t she sweet?
30558Is n''t there a deputy coroner at Comanche?
30558It was a big one, was n''t it?
30558It was about twenty thousand, was n''t it, Doctor?
30558Kind of surprised you; did n''t I, Doc?
30558Lost something?
30558May I take a look around the tent to see if they left any written word for me there?
30558Natural?
30558Oh, it was an accident?
30558Oh, you''re the feller that went off on a drunk, ai n''t you? 30558 On vacation here?"
30558One in five?
30558Pants? 30558 Pants?"
30558Ready for the time when_ he_ comes back, I suppose?
30558Say, it ai n''t any of my business, maybe, but how much did you git out of this pile of rocks?
30558Shall we go over to the newspaper office?
30558Shall we wait till it rises?
30558Shall we walk up that way?
30558Shanklin knew about copper in these rocks over here----"So it''s copper?
30558She thinks a lot of him, does n''t she?
30558She''s a peach; do n''t you think so?
30558Slandered?
30558So if we happen to run across him tomorrow you''ll not mention it, will you?
30558So this is going to be home?
30558Soon as you sell that claim?
30558Suppose?
30558Surely you do n''t mean that they manufacture them here?
30558Surely you do n''t mean to go over there and fight him on his own ground, among his friends?
30558That''s why you''re here, hoping like the rest of us to draw Number One?
30558The hotel- keeper gave you the message that we left?
30558The lonesomeness?
30558Then the crime trust of Comanche must be dissolved?
30558Then you''re not planning to go back there?
30558There''s no news of that rash man who went into the cañon for the newspaper?
30558Thinkin''about marryin''?
30558Was he a tall man, dark, with heavy eyebrows?
30558Was he the other man?
30558Well, I do n''t suppose you''ll be back on the river for some time?
30558Well, I guess you know what I''m here for?
30558Well, do you know anything about a long, lean, one- eyed man that runs a dice- game over there in that tent?
30558Well, how much?
30558Well, what have you got to say to it, you dirty old thief?
30558Well, where is the one she jumped from?
30558Well, where will you go?
30558Well?
30558What I want to know,said he argumentatively,"is, who seen''em jump?"
30558What are you doing with all that money in a place like this?
30558What did you do to him?
30558What do I owe you?
30558What do you know about him?
30558What do you mean?
30558What do you propose to do about bringing another surgeon here?
30558What do you suppose a college education''s good for, anyway? 30558 What do you want here?"
30558What do you want to know for?
30558What else?
30558What have you got to say to the way you double- crossed me, you old one- eyed hellion?
30558What in the world would anybody want to do it for? 30558 What is it, Mother?"
30558What is it, then?
30558What kind of a noise does a bear make?
30558What next?
30558What was that?
30558What will you take for your chance, Doctor?
30558What''s the matter with you?
30558What''s your hurry to git to Meander?
30558What''s your scheme?
30558Where did you get that paper?
30558Where did you learn that trick?
30558Where is he?
30558Who is there to know it, to lay a charge against you?
30558Who?
30558Why did n''t you bring a draft?
30558Why do n''t you pay Dr. Slavens for his homestead, as you were ready to pay that man Peterson if you could have filed him on it?
30558Why do the people permit him to do it?
30558Why, do n''t they grow here?
30558Why, do they cut the poor things''tails off?
30558Why, have n''t you heard?
30558Will he-- lapse again?
30558Will you be returning to the East soon?
30558Will you do me the favor to look at this before you go?
30558Will you go for Smith?
30558Will you have some supper?
30558Will you stay a little while,she asked,"and hear me?
30558Will you tell me about it?
30558Will you tell me, then, about my friends?
30558Would n''t I?
30558Would you be willing to risk ten dollars more on a chance to get it back?
30558Yes?
30558You do n''t mean bears?
30558You fellers know what you make me think of? 30558 You have just saw an elegant exhibition of art, and who is there in this crowd that do n''t feel a better man for what he saw?"
30558You live here?
30558You mean he''s celebrating his good luck?
30558You must weigh a hundred and seventy?
30558You would n''t do it, Jerry, would you?
30558You''ve located quite a piece up the river and off the stage- road, have n''t you?
30558Your mission?
30558Your opinion?
30558*****"If I''d have put my hands over your eyes, who would you have named?"
30558And any time in future that you see me bettin''on any man''s game, you send for the fool- killer, will you?"
30558And had he paid the penalty of such temerity, perhaps with his life?
30558And then:"Are you-- that is-- is_ she_, related to you?"
30558And we''ll have at least another talk before we part?"
30558Are you going on to Meander soon?"
30558Because he cut off lambs''tails?"
30558Bentley?"
30558But how about your claim?"
30558But how do they manage the drawing?"
30558But what did Smith care for the criticism of Mrs. Reed when he was making coffee for Agnes?
30558But what do you want to be wasting yourself on this rough country for?
30558But who could resist the amount Boyle was ready to give?
30558Can a girl, born in rather sordid conditions, lift herself through sheer determination to the better things for which her soul hungered?
30558Come?"
30558Could he throw twenty- seven, or could n''t he?
30558Crook, heh?"
30558Did any of you fellers ever make that much in a minute?
30558Did he get through-- at all?"
30558Did she lose her mind?"
30558Did you ever hear of it?"
30558Did you light the fire which consumed them, or sink the ship which carried them down?''
30558Did you-- come to shore before you entered the cañon?"
30558Do I git sight of any more?
30558Do I see any more of your money?
30558Do I see any more?"
30558Do n''t they run true and straight?
30558Do n''t you size me up by what you saw me do tonight, will you?"
30558Do you git my words?"
30558Do you know me now?"
30558Do you remember?"
30558Do you suppose he knows you shoved his table, or does he think somebody back of you pushed you against it?"
30558Every little while the torrent of abuse broke upon the demand,"What do I owe you?"
30558First"--he held up his hand, as if to check the doctor''s speech--"will he live?"
30558For if there is still harmony in the heavens, how can the discord of the earth overwhelm us?
30558For what else did his complainings signify?
30558Had Dr. Slavens incurred, somehow, the disfavor of the vicious element which was the backbone of the place?
30558Had not every holder of a number been set back one faint mark behind the line of his hopes?
30558He does n''t belong in the picture, so why should I draw him in?"
30558He was president of a bank-- you remember the scandal, do n''t you?
30558How did you manage it?"
30558How was it, she wrangled in her mind, that the lines of their lives had crossed in that place, this physician''s and hers?
30558How was that?
30558How was that?
30558How_ was_ that?
30558I do n''t suppose there''s any question that the drawing will be fair?"
30558I wonder who it is?"
30558If it was a holdup, why have n''t you sent one of your little sheriffs out after me?"
30558If you want his claim, why do n''t you go down there and buy it, as you were ready to buy it from Peterson if you could have filed him on it?"
30558Is he still there?"
30558Is he your friend?"
30558Is n''t there one somewhere?"
30558Mistake in the winner of Number One?
30558Money?
30558Perhaps Miss Gates has told you?"
30558Perhaps you live in the midst of greater dangers than I?"
30558Peterson?"
30558Sell out as soon as the law allows?"
30558Slavens?"
30558Slavens?"
30558Smith?"
30558Snakes?
30558Stop in and take a look at that sign the first time you''re passin''; will you?"
30558Taxes?
30558Then he asked:"Can you drive better than you can shoot, or shoot better than you can drive?"
30558Then where would the City of Refuge be?"
30558There are no ghosts after you, are there?"
30558There must be more remunerative pursuits which you could follow?"
30558Walker?"
30558Was it long ago?"
30558Was she to be disappointed in him at last?
30558Was there no bond of tenderness in that dark man''s life which she could touch?
30558Well, he done it, did n''t he?"
30558Well, say, do n''t forgit to stop in and see that sign; will you?"
30558What could a bear live on down here, I''d like to know?
30558What could she do against such a great, rough thing?
30558What do you think of that?"
30558What do you think of your chance by now, Miss Horton?"
30558What had he done?
30558What interest had the chief of police in circulating such a report?
30558What is there to be gained by it, to the good of anybody?"
30558What use would anybody have for it there?
30558What was that?
30558What was there, she asked herself, to be sitting there crying over, like a rough- knuckled housewife whose man has stayed out all night in his cups?
30558What''d a tramp live on here?"
30558What''s the object, anyhow?"
30558When are you going to file?"
30558When you have it you''ll lead on the water and plant the rose?"
30558Where is his camp?"
30558Where?"
30558Who wanted him?
30558Why not?"
30558Why?
30558Would it be worth the struggle, the heart- hunger for other places and things, the years of waiting, the toil and loneliness?
30558Would it ever be worth the labor it would cost?
30558You can believe that, ca n''t you, from the way it roars and tears around out here?"
30558You have heard us speak, when we were back in camp, of Hun Shanklin, the gambler?"
30558You know where he''s located-- down by Comanche?"
30558You must have seen it as you passed?"
30558You were here?
30558no soft influence which she might bring to bear upon him and cause him to release his rapacious hold?
30558say I, meeting him foot to foot on the controversy,''in case I lose my son, my daughter, my wife-- the wife of my soul and heart-- shall I not grieve?
30558shall I not be permitted the solace of a tear?''
22583A rest for me-- or for you?
22583After all, two wrongs do n''t make a right, do they?
22583Ai n''t I the quitter, Miss Dwight? 22583 All those sacks transferred yet, Tim?"
22583Am I nothing but a thief to you?
22583Am I to blame because you broke your engagement to walk with me and went with that thief Kilmeny?
22583Am I? 22583 And I ca n''t?"
22583And after you were taken back to Gunnison-- Did you break prison?
22583And have you it in a safety deposit vault?
22583And he makes his living by it?
22583And he-- has he ever made love to you?
22583And how long does it take to belong to your West?
22583And how would that be?
22583And if we do n''t?
22583And then?
22583And though I''m wild and lawless?
22583And what is a highgrader?
22583And what is''bucking a sample''?
22583And what_ did_ you think?
22583And you-- didn''t see it?
22583And you-- do you mean that you''re going back... to those men?
22583Any luck?
22583Any names?
22583Anyone there beside you?
22583Anything of importance in that covered dish over there?
22583Are n''t you the Miss Dwight I''ve heard Jack Kilmeny mention?
22583Are n''t you?
22583Are you by any chance proposing for him, Lord Farquhar?
22583Are you planning to go to prison with him, Moya, when he is convicted of highgrading?
22583Are you still searching for him?
22583Are you sure of that? 22583 Are you telling me that you are innocent?"
22583Are you that boy?
22583Because I''m a highgrader?
22583Because of that fellow Kilmeny?
22583Bell said it was to be a big shipment, did n''t he?
22583Bring that breakfast?
22583But does n''t the ore belong to the company?
22583But if they did?
22583But they lived-- surely they did n''t die?
22583But what? 22583 But why-- why?"
22583But-- haven''t you any policemen here? 22583 But-- how?"
22583But-- if he is innocent-- what could there be he wanted to hide?
22583But-- what on earth do you mean?
22583But-- what shall we do?
22583But.... What about the reorganization of the companies? 22583 By handing over my hard- earned dishonest profits to the virtuous Verinder?"
22583Ca n''t you see how absurd it is? 22583 Ca n''t you?
22583Can it be a direction for finding something?
22583Can you talk away facts? 22583 Can you tell me you did n''t hold up Captain Kilmeny?
22583Certain about my guilt this time, are you?
22583Could I-- really?
22583Could n''t Captain Kilmeny ride one of the bronchos?
22583Could n''t he be at his mine?
22583Could n''t lie down and quit, could I? 22583 Dear me, are n''t we getting a little excited?
22583Did I say I wanted to see''ee?
22583Did I say you had done anything?
22583Did Verinder-- and Bleyer-- and Lady Farquhar?
22583Did he say I was the man?
22583Did he tell you so?
22583Did n''t I see Mr. Verinder going out?
22583Did n''t he stop to talk?
22583Did n''t you hear? 22583 Did she say so?"
22583Did the doctor say you could get up?
22583Did you ever hear anything so hateful? 22583 Did you find the road?"
22583Did you get the horses?
22583Did you say Kilmeny?
22583Did you think we were wild Utes broke loose from the reservation? 22583 Did you-- recognize him?"
22583Did your friends know it? 22583 Do I guide mine by impulse?"
22583Do I?
22583Do n''t I?
22583Do n''t they search prisoners before they lock them up?
22583Do n''t you see I_ ca n''t_ give it up? 22583 Do n''t you see how it is with me, Jack?
22583Do n''t you think there''s a chance he did n''t do it?
22583Do n''t you think they-- the consequences-- deserve a better chance than you will give them?
22583Do n''t you?
22583Do n''t you?
22583Do we desert our friends when things have a bad look for them?
22583Do you belong to the party camped below?
22583Do you ever scalp people?
22583Do you live at Goldbanks?
22583Do you mean...?
22583Do you still... want me?
22583Do you think I''m worse than other men? 22583 Do you think that''s quite the word?
22583Do you think they would?
22583Do you think we ought to read this?
22583Do you think we''d better?
22583Does he suspect?
22583Does his cousin bore you?
22583Does she expect to marry an emperor?
22583Does that alter the fact that he is a thief?
22583Doing? 22583 Eh, what?
22583Eh? 22583 Even though I want to wait?"
22583Even though I''ve been brought up badly?
22583Feel quite fit again, Miss Dwight?
22583For Heaven''s sake, why not?
22583From Goldbanks?
22583Good enough, eh, Peale?
22583Guessed it, have you?
22583Had n''t you better ask her that?
22583Happen to notice the color of the ladies''eyes?
22583Has n''t he proposed for himself?
22583Has some distant connection passed away and left you a fortune, Mr. Verinder? 22583 Have I lost my little friend-- the one who used to come to me in my dreams and whisper with a lisp that I was n''t a''stwanger''?"
22583Have I said a word too much, Miss Dwight? 22583 Have n''t I told you not to talk to strangers?"
22583Have n''t you heard? 22583 Have you forgotten that night in the cabin?"
22583Have you lost it? 22583 Have you seen my_ Graphic_, Moya?"
22583He could n''t think anything else, could he?
22583He fought you once, did n''t he?
22583He gets his wages, does n''t he?
22583He had you covered with a weapon?
22583He has a good deal of assurance, has n''t he?
22583He''ll ask her, wo n''t he?
22583How come you to call him Crumbs?
22583How could I believe when I found your guilt on you? 22583 How did it get there?"
22583How did the savage behave himself?
22583How did you sleep?
22583How do I know what they thought?
22583How do I know? 22583 How do I know?
22583How do you know I did?
22583How do you know?
22583How do you mean?
22583How long have you been engaged? 22583 How many?"
22583How should I know?
22583How strong are you for it?
22583I do n''t know, unless----"Unless what?
22583I mean, what''s your reason? 22583 I say, Miss Seldon, are n''t you breaking the Sabbath?"
22583I told you I was fond of him, did n''t I? 22583 If it is n''t asking too much-- how did you know anything about it?"
22583If so, do I think more than the truth?
22583If you were so sure about me why did n''t you have the officers here to arrest me?
22583If... if you ca n''t see----"See what? 22583 Is it the money I have made highgrading?
22583Is n''t he a whopper?
22583Is n''t it a horrid little hole?
22583Is n''t it in the billiard room? 22583 Is n''t it your name?"
22583Is n''t that putting pride before love, Jack? 22583 Is n''t that rather an unnecessary condition?
22583Is n''t that what friendship is for-- to make allowances?
22583Is n''t this rather... precipitous? 22583 Is she going to marry that fellow Verinder?"
22583Is that all you have to say? 22583 Is that what it means to the highgraders too?"
22583Is''t a fight ye want, mon?
22583It has n''t hurt you any, has it?
22583It will be returned, will it? 22583 Just what_ is_ a highgrader?"
22583Know the man?
22583Leaves where?
22583Like a bad- tasting dose of medicine?
22583Made you?
22583May I stroll out this dance with you, Miss Dwight?
22583May I tell all about it?
22583May I... assume you have a kindly interest in Joyce?
22583Meaning me?
22583Meaning that it is my unpleasant duty to marry Mr. Verinder''s money?
22583Mr. Kilmeny, how can we ever thank you?
22583Mr. Kilmeny, you mean?
22583Must I let him have all the line he wants?
22583Must n''t I?
22583My dear, you are a little unstrung, are n''t you?
22583My sin is beyond the pale, I suppose?
22583No guns along, Kilmeny, eh?
22583No, but-- really?
22583Nobody hurt, I suppose?
22583Nor Verinder?
22583Oh, could n''t you see? 22583 Oh, did I hook you?"
22583Oh, ought I? 22583 On account of the other man?"
22583One on a big sorrel and the other on a roan with white stockings on the front feet?
22583Or is it an anarchist that believes such dreadful things?
22583Say anything?
22583Seven times?
22583Shall we substitute ambition for duty?
22583Should I have said Kilmeny?
22583So the captain is taking it back to- day?
22583So you found the paper in the hat, did you?
22583So you''re Verinder''s friends, are you? 22583 Steward, have you seen that child anywhere?
22583Sure it was n''t imagination?
22583That was the only reason, was it?
22583That''s a rather large order, is n''t it?
22583The fellow was playing off his own bat, was n''t he? 22583 They are pensioned, are n''t they?"
22583They do n''t all steal, do they?
22583They were n''t thieves, were they?
22583Think he really did it, Ned?
22583Two riders pass you lately?
22583Want to see me, Peale?
22583Want you? 22583 Was Bell drunk?"
22583Was n''t that fine? 22583 Was there another man up there in the rocks just now that you had to see until the deputy left?"
22583We''re_ for_ him, are n''t we, Moya?
22583Well, sure your money is n''t on the wrong horse, Moya? 22583 Well?"
22583Were they going good last night?
22583Were you afraid when you found yourself alone?
22583Were you ever in love in your life?
22583Were you frightened, Moya?
22583What I mean to do?
22583What about your friends-- what about Miss Seldon-- did she believe me guilty too?
22583What are they going to do, Moya?
22583What are we doing?
22583What are you doing here?
22583What are you going to do, India?
22583What are you hiding?
22583What be wrong wi''un?
22583What can it mean?
22583What did I do with it?
22583What did I tell you?
22583What did that suit cost you?
22583What did you overhear?
22583What do you mean when you say a horse bucks?
22583What do you think?
22583What do you want with him? 22583 What do you want?"
22583What does that matter if we love each other?
22583What else could I think?
22583What for?
22583What in particular do you want to know?
22583What is it that you think? 22583 What is it?"
22583What is this game, boys-- a hold- up?
22583What more is there to be said?
22583What now?
22583What other reason could there be?
22583What pipe?
22583What then?
22583What will you do now?
22583What would you expect me to do? 22583 What''ll you do there?"
22583What''s a cowpuncher?
22583What''s his last name? 22583 What''s the use of denying it?
22583What''s the use? 22583 What''s yore hurry, Crumbs?"
22583What''s your price on a whole constellation with a lovers''moon thrown in?
22583What? 22583 When do I get that walk you promised me, Miss Lupton?
22583When shall I see you alone again, Moya?
22583When shall we look?
22583Where away, Jack?
22583Where did you get that?
22583Where from? 22583 Where is he going?"
22583Where is it?
22583Where you going to fish to- night, Crumbs?
22583Where, then?
22583Where?
22583Which way for home?
22583Whither away, Miss Dwight?
22583Who has laid a plot?
22583Who is going to return it?
22583Who is the most undesirable citizen here, Bleyer? 22583 Who''s being romantic now?"
22583Why are you going away?
22583Why are you offering this, captain?
22583Why ca n''t you? 22583 Why did she do it?"
22583Why do n''t you let me see you alone? 22583 Why do you expect her love affair to be so interesting?
22583Why do you marry him, then?
22583Why do you want to wait?
22583Why must we?
22583Why must you-- since you love me?
22583Why not-- if you do n''t like him too well?
22583Why not? 22583 Why should I?
22583Why should n''t I be-- with my baby days popping out at me like this when I thought they were dead and buried? 22583 Why should n''t I come, since I wanted to?"
22583Why was n''t I to tell Jack Kilmeny that he had taken Ned''s hat by mistake?
22583Why-- since he is so dishonest?
22583Why? 22583 Why?"
22583Will she take him?
22583Will you please find out?
22583Will you tell me anything you find out, please? 22583 Will you thank Miss Seldon for me, both for this and many other favors?"
22583With Miss Seldon?
22583Would it have made any difference if you had?
22583Would the operators-- what would they do if they proved you guilty of highgrading?
22583Would you care to write Mr. Kilmeny a note? 22583 Would you mind if... if we did n''t tell the others just yet?"
22583Yes, but-- didn''t it seem to you----? 22583 Yes, it''s more fun, but----""But what?"
22583Yes... picked them up while you were delirious, did n''t you?
22583Yes?
22583You admit you took the money?
22583You called me?
22583You do n''t think, do you, that----?
22583You heard him?
22583You justify her?
22583You know about her and Ned?
22583You like this young man, Moya?
22583You mean she loves me?
22583You mean that... you are a highgrader?
22583You mean you...?
22583You mean-- highgrading?
22583You mean... before... we met again?
22583You mean... you think he has been hurt?
22583You mean...?
22583You paid that to the miners for it?
22583You repented and took the money back?
22583You sat up late, did n''t you?
22583You take that for granted, do you?
22583You think I was n''t justified?
22583You think I''ve changed, then?
22583You think the profits from these mines should all go to Verinder and his friends, that none should belong to the men who do the work?
22583You usually are, are n''t you?
22583You want me to tell Colter what I know?
22583You would have let him go to prison-- the man who had fought for you against odds?
22583You would n''t, would you?
22583You''ll be careful to- night, wo n''t you?
22583You''ll give me all the time I want-- not push me too hard?
22583You''ll let us doctor your wounds, wo n''t you?
22583You''re his friend, are n''t you?
22583You''re making one for me now, are n''t you?
22583You''re not going to tell them to- night?
22583You''re prosecuting attorney and judge and jury all in one, are n''t you?
22583You''re quite sure now that I did n''t do it?
22583You''re telling me that I''m a flirt, are n''t you?
22583You''ve found that out already, have you?
22583You''ve made a strike?
22583_ Why are you so cruel to me?_His chin dropped with amazement.
22583''Member me?
22583A sardonic flicker of amusement moved him to add:"Would you obey the Scriptural injunction and visit me in prison, Miss Dwight?"
22583After steering a course as steady as a mariner''s compass for years was she going to play the fool at last?
22583Ai n''t that the way of it, Colter?"
22583Am I late?"
22583And swift on the heels of it,"You are a deputy sheriff, are you not?"
22583And where under heaven could a man hope to see anything lovelier than this pale face with its crown of burnished hair so lustrous and abundant?
22583And which of you is his particular friend?"
22583And why should it be hidden in his hat?
22583And why should she care what he was?
22583And you ran to your friend with it?
22583And, guilty or innocent, what could be the explanation of his extraordinary demand that she should turn over to him the stolen money?
22583Anxious to avoid a family scandal?"
22583Are n''t there any laws in the state?
22583Are you going to leave me like this?"
22583Are you in a very great hurry?"
22583Are you?"
22583Because I do n''t belong to her social set?"
22583Biggs?"
22583Bleyer?"
22583Bleyer?"
22583But I really did it all myself, did n''t I?
22583But Mr. Kilmeny-- and Mr. Verinder-- what do you suppose they think?"
22583But are n''t there any cowboys?"
22583But how far would the code of her world govern him?
22583But if I happened to, what would I do with him?"
22583But is that all he is entitled to?
22583But why had he not changed his plans after her talk with him?
22583But you are still going to let me come and visit you in your dreams, are n''t you?"
22583But, if you did n''t tap, who did?"
22583But-- why did n''t I know you?"
22583But... what can a girl like Joyce do?"
22583But... when you love enough that does n''t help the adjustment?"
22583CHAPTER XXI SPIRIT RAPPING?
22583Ca n''t he see that honors are easy?"
22583Can I judge you?"
22583Can you find any for me?"
22583Can you imagine yourself sitting opposite him at breakfast for the rest of your natural days?"
22583Can you say that you do n''t love me?"
22583Can you tell me what it is?
22583Can you tell me who does?"
22583Captain Kilmeny is interesting in his way too, but----""Well?"
22583Catch him yourself?"
22583Colter?"
22583Colter?"
22583Could I let him go to prison without giving even a warning?"
22583Could I let them say that I... ran after you?"
22583Could it be that they carried him as far as this, that he would take ore to which others had title?
22583Could they have taken the highgrader prisoner?
22583D''ye remember he came home when you were a little kiddie?
22583Dare you tell me that you do n''t love me, Moya?"
22583Dare you tell me that?"
22583Dear me, that sounds dreadfully legal, does n''t it, Moya?
22583Did Miss Joyce think I could n''t have done it?"
22583Did he mean to tell more?
22583Did n''t the paper say something about a rock?"
22583Did you say you had been engaged less than a minute, Mr. Kilmeny?
22583Did you say your warning?"
22583Do n''t all the poets credit us with inconstancy?"
22583Do n''t like it to get out that you have a cousin in the pen, is that it?
22583Do n''t we, Two Step?"
22583Do n''t you see that, my dear?"
22583Do n''t you see?
22583Do n''t you understand?"
22583Do they?"
22583Do you mean robbed?"
22583Do you realize what you are proposing?
22583Do you think I''m going to give up my stake now I''ve won it at last?"
22583Do you think I''m going to let it end there?
22583Do you think it is for nothing that we met again after all these years?
22583Do you think it''s all been play with me?
22583Does an innocent man do that?"
22583Does it follow he must be a criminal?"
22583Does it?"
22583Does n''t a Johnny own what he buys and pays for?"
22583Does that mean nothing to you?"
22583Does this prove me guilty?"
22583Down in the bottom of your heart do you believe that?"
22583Eh, what?"
22583Get it?"
22583Get the idea?"
22583Had Kilmeny after all failed to take advantage of her warning?
22583Had he not once warned her in his whimsical smiling way that she would have to make"a heap of allowances"for him if she were to remain his friend?
22583Had he proved his innocence and been released?
22583Had it at last trapped her in spite of her cool wariness?
22583Had she not read of some men who had been out two days in one and yet reached safety?
22583Happen to be any relation of Archibald Kilmeny, who died in Colorado fifteen years ago?"
22583Have n''t they earned an interest in the mine?
22583Have you the means to supply her needs?
22583He added briskly, after a moment,"What do you expect to get out of this, Rollins?"
22583Heard the latest?"
22583How about those women and children?
22583How can I make love to you as other men do?
22583How can I take care of you without money?"
22583How can I tell till I hear what you have to say for yourself?"
22583How could I help his kissing me... or help liking to have him?
22583How could he be India''s cousin and not be that?"
22583How could he be a criminal?
22583How could she ever have dreamed this crime of him?
22583How could that be?"
22583How does a-- a highgrader, did n''t you call him?--how does he get a chance to steal the ore?"
22583How does he live?
22583How else can we tell whether it is something he wants us to do for him?"
22583How had he dared?
22583How long has he been here?"
22583How long since they passed?"
22583How many?"
22583How much do you think he will weigh?"
22583How much will you give me to go down now and tell him?"
22583How''s that?
22583How''s that?"
22583I did n''t like to do it, but----""What is it you did?"
22583I say, do you have moods too, Miss Joyce?"
22583I want to keep our engagement just to ourselves for a few days?
22583If I were able to come to you without a dollar but with clean hands-- would you marry me then?"
22583If Jack Kilmeny was innocent, why did he not indignantly deny the charge?
22583If everybody knows it, why is n''t he arrested?"
22583Is he robbing himself, then?"
22583Is it enough, or do you want more?"
22583Is n''t it just possible you do n''t understand them?"
22583Is n''t that a good deal?"
22583Is n''t that enough?"
22583Is n''t that what criminals say when----?"
22583Is n''t their moral claim greater than that of Mr. Verinder, who sits in London and draws the dividends?"
22583Is she quite herself this morning?
22583Is that fair?"
22583Is that it?"
22583Is that what stands between us?
22583It''s awful.... How far do we have to go?"
22583Leaves you strapped, does it?"
22583Love''s young dream, and that sort of thing, eh?"
22583Maybe I''m a little prig, but... must n''t we guide our lives by principle and not by impulse?"
22583Must be over that way, do n''t you think?"
22583Ned?"
22583Of course it''s not pretty, but-- doesn''t it seem to stand for something big and-- well, indomitable?
22583Or are you considering a Phyllida and Corydon idyll in a cottage?"
22583Or do you prefer to wait till we can get to Goldbanks?"
22583Or had he broken prison, an alternative of which he was quite capable?
22583Or had his opponents proved too shrewd for him?
22583Or have you merely found a new gold mine since I saw you last?"
22583Or would she think it merely another instance of his depravity?
22583Peach on Bleyer, is that it?"
22583See?"
22583Shall I break the engagement?
22583Shall I make a batch of biscuits and offer you pot luck?
22583Shall I ring for the waiter?"
22583Shall I stay with you?
22583Shall I tell him that you asked me to warn him?"
22583Shall I tell you something?"
22583Shall we have to cut her and Captain Kilmeny now?"
22583Shall we substitute overheard?"
22583So it is n''t going to be Ned?"
22583So much as that?"
22583Spirit Rapping?
22583Sure he said to- night?"
22583Sure you did n''t change it for him?"
22583Tell me, did you find your friends?"
22583That is n''t quite the point, is it?
22583The heart of me is clean, is n''t it?"
22583The man who risks his life and the support of his family by working underground is entitled to a share of the profit, is n''t he?"
22583Think we could get a snack here?
22583This is Mr. Colter, is n''t it?"
22583Understand?"
22583Understand?"
22583Verinder?"
22583Verinder?"
22583Verinder?"
22583Verinder?"
22583Verinder?"
22583Want to hear it?"
22583Want to hear the particulars?"
22583Was it possible that she had taken a fancy to him?
22583Was it yesterday in the bucket?"
22583Was murder being done out there while they waited?
22583Was n''t that in your dreams too-- that some day we should meet again?"
22583Was n''t that it?"
22583Was she asking him to leave the dinner table to do it?
22583Was she embarrassed at his question?
22583Was she for Verinder or for him?
22583Was she going to marry a pauper, a workingman, one accused of crime, merely because of the ridiculous emotion he excited in her?
22583Was she the kind of girl that gave her love to a man who did not want it?
22583Was she to blame because he was too poor to support her properly?
22583Was she trying to make a dupe of him?
22583Was the lost prize beyond recovery?
22583Was there after all some mystery about him or his occupation, something he did not want them to know?
22583Was this love then?
22583We all have our moods, do n''t we?
22583Were n''t you telling me, Bleyer, that there was a big accident there some years ago?
22583Were they holding him for some purpose?
22583What about that?"
22583What about your feelings?
22583What about, my man?"
22583What can we do?"
22583What could she do?
22583What d''ye think, Bleyer?"
22583What did she know of him?
22583What did you do with him?"
22583What do you know?
22583What do you mean?"
22583What do you want me to do?
22583What does he do to earn it?"
22583What does he do?
22583What facts have you to back it?"
22583What for?
22583What has happened?"
22583What has he done?"
22583What have I done that you should... treat me so?"
22583What is it you''re driving at?"
22583What may that be?
22583What of it?
22583What of that?
22583What other man would have thrown away a small fortune-- all he had-- just for me?"
22583What ought I to do?
22583What right had he to ask or she to give so much?
22583What right have you to ask it?"
22583What say, Lady Farquhar?"
22583What the deuce did Lady Farquhar mean?
22583What then?
22583What then?"
22583What was it?"
22583What was the matter with her?
22583What was this shameless longing that had carried her to him as one looking down from a high tower is drawn to throw himself over the edge?
22583What will they think?
22583What would he be doing down in a mine?"
22583What would he say or do when he was told?
22583What would he want with another man''s hat?"
22583What''s been keeping you?
22583What''s the matter with right now?"
22583What''s the matter with you staying and running for governor?"
22583What''s the next direction?"
22583What''s the use of coming to Colorado if it is going to be as civilized as England?"
22583What, then?"
22583When?"
22583Where had this tanned fisherman won the manner that inheres only in a leader of men?
22583Where is he?
22583Where is he?"
22583Where is it?"
22583Where ought I to be-- in Routt County losing myself?"
22583Where you going?"
22583Who can the man be?"
22583Who else could I mean?"
22583Who makes all the trouble for the companies?"
22583Who makes the laws?"
22583Who under heaven would put him there?"
22583Who will you pick up next?
22583Whom do the men rely on to back them whenever they have trouble with us?
22583Why always seven?
22583Why ca n''t he be nice about this?
22583Why ca n''t he understand-- instead of sneering at me?
22583Why ca n''t he wait?"
22583Why ca n''t you wild Injuns behave proper?"
22583Why could n''t she have given her heart to this gallant gentleman instead of to the reckless young scoundrel whom she hardly knew?
22583Why did he give you that pistol?"
22583Why do n''t the operator stay on his job?
22583Why do n''t you stop them and search them?"
22583Why do you run away from me?"
22583Why does he blame me, then?
22583Why had her roving heart gone out to this attractive scamp who did not want her love or care for it?
22583Why is he so hard?"
22583Why must she needs be so willful?
22583Why should I criticize you-- I, who have done nothing all my life but lean on others?"
22583Why should I run from you?"
22583Why should n''t I listen to him?
22583Why should n''t I?"
22583Why should n''t we sit still and let his reputation be torn to tatters?"
22583Why should she, since he was what he was?
22583Why should you?
22583Why was it that every good looking vagabond with a dash of the devil in him drew on her sympathies?
22583Why was it that the mere presence of this man called to her so potently and shook her confidence in his guilt?
22583Why?
22583Why?"
22583Will you come to dinner this evening?
22583Would Moya smile when Verinder told her how the tables had been turned?
22583Would an innocent man have done that?
22583Would he have to sit down to eat with a criminal at large?
22583Would n''t it be fine to work out your success in partnership?
22583Would n''t it be jolly if we were lost?"
22583Would the savagery in him break bounds?
22583Would you have believed him guilty?"
22583Would you mind calling a waiter?"
22583Would you mind if I beg off?"
22583Would your friendship stand the test?"
22583Yet what more likely than that the managers should choose him for an example if they could prove him guilty?
22583You are doing wrong, but... Oh, why do you do such things?"
22583You did listen to a private conversation you were n''t meant to hear, did n''t you?
22583You''ll not take part, then?"
22583_ Does_ that ore belong to Dobyans Verinder any more than it does to-- well, to Jack Kilmeny, say for the sake of argument?
22583recovered?"
29602A coyote is a cowardly breed of animal, is n''t it?
29602About talking, eh? 29602 After tryin''a fool scheme you want to shift the business on_ my_ shoulders, eh?
29602Ai n''t you a little free with your language, Carlisle?
29602An''I ai n''t forgettin''it?
29602Any chance to get a bath here?
29602Any idear what you got?
29602Any other mines been robbed?
29602Anybody here in particular you want to see?
29602Are we going, Long?
29602Are you afraid?
29602Are you going to work in Dry Lake?
29602Are you threatening me?
29602Are-- are they-- after you, Roger?
29602But how about that stage driver yesterday morning?
29602But it''s miles and miles to any place east of here, is n''t it?
29602But when we''ve reached the other side, Roger?
29602But why do you have to tell me this so suddenly?
29602But why wo n''t they take checks?
29602But, Laura-- a man in my position-- why-- why-- where would I be at?
29602But, Roger,the girl faltered,"wo n''t that mean-- mean----""A show- down?
29602Can they make it? 29602 Can you feed five men, ma''am?"
29602Come to let me out, sheriff?
29602Did I mention to you that I was n''t used to jails, sheriff?
29602Did Lamy say how they came to leave their horses?
29602Did he make you guide him?
29602Did he tell you who he is, sis?
29602Did n''t they hear that fellow ride away?
29602Did you catch those freckles from your brother?
29602Did you come to tell us he''d got away clean?
29602Did you eat yet?
29602Did you have your bath?
29602Did you say you had Carlisle?
29602Did you stop at the Mallory place?
29602Did you try to wash the freckles off?
29602Did-- is the automobile still there?
29602Do n''t I look like one, miss?
29602Do you hear me?
29602Do you suppose they''ve got him?
29602Do you think it''s worth it, Coyote?
29602Do? 29602 Eh-- what''s that?"
29602Ever been in this country before?
29602Ever hear of him?
29602Everything set?
29602Feel hungry?
29602First or after what?
29602First: Why is n''t there more travel on this good road?
29602For the time being, eh, sheriff? 29602 General eastern direction, was n''t it?
29602Give you a chance an''take a chance myself on going to the gallows?
29602Going to write it all out and leave it?
29602Had your supper?
29602Have you a room?
29602Have you come to give yourself up, Rathburn?
29602Have you eaten?
29602Have you seen any one around here this morning-- any stranger, or strangers, I mean?
29602Have you seen any one around here-- yesterday or this morning?
29602He brought it back to give it up an''himself, too?
29602He was here? 29602 Horse taken care of?"
29602How about Simpson and Manley?
29602How about my gun-- want that, too?
29602How did you happen to mention the trails bein''all mixed up like that?
29602How do I know you wo n''t walk right out of this office and turn a trick right here in this very town?
29602How do you know I wo n''t beat it with the money?
29602How do you know I_ ai n''t_ The Coyote?
29602How do you know, boy? 29602 How do_ I_ know anybody stopped you and robbed you?
29602How far is it to Dry Lake?
29602How long you been away?
29602How many men has the sheriff got?
29602How much did they get?
29602How much time do you want, Rathburn?
29602How so?
29602How soon you going to start?
29602I expect I''ll get something to eat now an''then, too?
29602I reckon you''ve lost all the brains you ever did have? 29602 If anybody gets to acting uneasylike it''ll be the signal for me to start shootin''--understand?"
29602If what Carlisle says is true, it does n''t look as if I was trying to get away, does it, sheriff?
29602Is Eagen here?
29602Is he as bad as you think, sheriff?
29602Is there any law against ridin''hosses in this here part of the country?
29602Is there any one in the cellar?
29602It is you change your mind?
29602It was a bold business, an''what could you expect?
29602It''s west of here, ai n''t it?
29602Juniper, hoss,said Rathburn,"what does that gent want that slicker on for?
29602Just get in?
29602Just how big_ is_ Dry Lake?
29602Just takin''a mornin''ride, Carlisle?
29602Just what do you suppose was my object in getting you out of jail?
29602Just what''s your idea in telling_ me_ all this, Carlisle; why do n''t you tell what you know to Mannix, say?
29602Kind of early, ai n''t you, boss?
29602Know any of the gang?
29602Lamy, are there any horses running in here that you know of?
29602Let me give you a tip, my friend; you ai n''t right well acquainted in this here locality, are you?
29602Line up down there, now-- you hear me? 29602 Listen, Frankie, did you see anybody around here this morning?"
29602Look like him?
29602May I ask where you plan to go, Roger?
29602More of the company''s money gone?
29602My horse is all right, ai n''t he?
29602No? 29602 No?"
29602No?
29602Now he do n''t know me from a hoss thief-- or does he?
29602Now what?
29602Now, do n''t you think I know it?
29602Oh, he did?
29602Oh, you do not know?
29602Oh-- why, did n''t you come from there?
29602One in front, one behind; now how about the kid?
29602Or did you forget something? 29602 Reckon it''s safe to build a small fire here?"
29602Rob the bank? 29602 Roger, why do n''t you go away?"
29602Say,exclaimed the porter eagerly,"you did n''t see any men ridin''looselike, when you was coming in, did you?"
29602See that crack in the mountain?
29602See that?
29602Sheriff out, too?
29602So they''ve been here?
29602So you thought you''d double cross me, did you, eh?
29602So? 29602 Some one been tellin''you the details of my arrival?"
29602Stay here,said Price,"and I''ll look after your horse-- or were you hidin''up all day?"
29602Stockholders live aroun''here?
29602Suppose I refuse to go?
29602That all of it?
29602That was what your proposition was to be, was it?
29602That you, sheriff?
29602Then they''d only get one of us, an''whichever it was they''d think he was the one they wanted, see?
29602Then what news do you bring here?
29602Then why did n''t you tell me?
29602There was a little item of five hundred between us for my serving-- am I right?
29602There''s more''n one sheriff would pay a pretty price to get him safe, eh?
29602They saw you?
29602They? 29602 This man Sautee,"he drawled, looking Mannix square in the eye;"he must have a good drag with the county seat, eh?"
29602To-- to Dry Lake?
29602Us?
29602Was you thinking I was an old acquaintance of yours?
29602We wo n''t tell, will we, sis?
29602Well, what is it?
29602Well,he said finally, with a show of irritation,"what do you want?"
29602What all have you got against me?
29602What are you going to do, Roger?
29602What are you going to do?
29602What are you going to do?
29602What are you tryin''to say?
29602What difference do you suppose it would make to me if that stuff in there goes off?
29602What do you find to do with yourself around here?
29602What do you mean by that?
29602What do you mean by that?
29602What do you mean?
29602What do you want me to do?
29602What else could you expect?
29602What have you got on you?
29602What is it, Laura?
29602What job is it Eagen is planning?
29602What luck?
29602What makes you think this fellow Rathburn is The Coyote?
29602What might they be?
29602What was your idea in givin''me back my gun?
29602What''d he want?
29602What''d you do with Mike Reynolds? 29602 What''re you going to do about it?"
29602What''s all the disturbance down there?
29602What''s all this you''re tryin''to chirp into my ear?
29602What''s it all about, Brown?
29602What''s it all about, sweetie?
29602What''s that? 29602 What''s that?
29602What''s that?
29602What''s that?
29602What''s the idea?
29602What''s the matter? 29602 What''s the meaning of all this, anyway?"
29602What''s the sense in sending it up there at all?
29602What''s the use?
29602What''s your game?
29602What''s your name?
29602What''s your name?
29602What''s_ your_ breed?
29602What-- what are you going to do, Eddie?
29602What-- what are you going to do?
29602What-- what did you come here for?
29602What-- what do you mean?
29602What-- what is it, Fred?
29602What?
29602What_ are_ they?
29602Where are we going?
29602Where are you from an''where was you going?
29602Where are you from?
29602Where was you heading?
29602Where you goin''?
29602Where''s everybody? 29602 Where''s my horse?"
29602Where''s the cellar?
29602Where''s the money you an''Carlisle got away with?
29602Where''s the trail?
29602Where''s your handcuffs?
29602Where? 29602 Which way you figure on going up?"
29602Who do you mean by''they,''Rathburn?
29602Who do you reckon I might be, if I ai n''t?
29602Who does the boss happen to be in this case?
29602Who got it?
29602Who is he, ma''am?
29602Who is it, Roger?
29602Who is it?
29602Who is she?
29602Who is this man Doane? 29602 Who told you that?"
29602Who''s Carlisle?
29602Who''s that boy out there?
29602Who''s the sheriff? 29602 Who-- who you looking for?"
29602Why did n''t Carlisle come to me?
29602Why did you do it, Roger?
29602Why do n''t you get away?
29602Why not Mannix?
29602Why not leave the horses in the timber an''run for the house? 29602 Why not pay off down here in town?"
29602Why not put an armed guard on that truck?
29602Why-- didn''t you_ go_?
29602Why-- didn''t-- wasn''t that your intention?
29602Why-- don''t you want me to take it to the mine?
29602Will you take the job?
29602With Joe, eh? 29602 Wo n''t they wash off?"
29602Ye- e- s."When?
29602Yes?
29602You ai n''t forgetting that I was suspected of that last job, are you? 29602 You ai n''t takin''my advice at the same time, are you?"
29602You been awake all night?
29602You been trailing me?
29602You boys live here?
29602You brought it back? 29602 You came from the west, Roger?"
29602You figure he''s just borrowed it?
29602You from Arizona?
29602You goin''on to- night?
29602You going in to see the sheriff?
29602You have something to tell me you do n''t want father to hear?
29602You keep such large sums on hand all the time?
29602You know who he is?
29602You leavin''to- night?
29602You mean in jail?
29602You remember what I said about keepin''your mouth shut?
29602You rode down this morning?
29602You say you came here to start over?
29602You stopped because you saw my gun? 29602 You sure that was the way of it?"
29602You want some more, Percy?
29602You want to see him? 29602 You want to see him?"
29602You want to see me, Eagen?
29602You want to stay here an''talk when there''s a score or two of men after us? 29602 You''re going to Dry Lake?"
29602You''re plumb full of information, eh, Carlisle?
29602You''re sure?
29602You''re sure?
29602You''re sure?
29602You''ve robbed, and you''re a killer----"That''s what you_ hear_?
29602You-- here?
29602You-- you''re not an officer?
29602You--_are_--The Coyote?
29602Young man, what''re those dirt- looking spots on your face?
29602Your husband?
29602Your mine owned by a stock company?
29602Your name Jud Brown?
29602An''I''m to blame, for it?
29602An''how does he reckon to see onless maybe he''s got holes cut in that there hanky?"
29602Are they scarce around here, ma''am-- automobiles?"
29602Are you a cow- puncher?"
29602Are you back for more recruits?"
29602Are you still cutting''em high, wide, an''handsome?"
29602Ate here?"
29602Boy, do n''t you think you better make sure?"
29602But did n''t you say you thought the sheriff would give you a chance if he met you an''heard your story?
29602But what could I expect?
29602But why not?
29602But, listen, girlie, just what was Carlisle to you?"
29602Can I see you alone, Laura, for a few minutes?"
29602Could not the pay- roll be sent to the mines under armed guard?
29602Did I maybe keep you waiting?
29602Did n''t Doane make the same kind of a proposition to me?
29602Did n''t he carry out your orders?
29602Did n''t you hear that fellow Carlisle say I saved your life by not drawing?"
29602Did she care for him then?
29602Do n''t you care for me, sweetheart?
29602Do n''t you figure, Mr. Coyote, that I can throw my rope aroun''a simple scheme like you an''that shivering rat over by the table cooked up?
29602Do n''t you see there''s three of''em?
29602Do n''t you see?
29602Do n''t you suppose she knows you''re as fast as Eagen?
29602Do you recollect I said no one ever took my gun from me but what I got it back?
29602Do you think Laura would keep your gun, knowin''there might be trouble, an''you would n''t have any way to protect yourself?
29602Doane?"
29602Ever hear of such a thing?"
29602Father, are you sure you heard Roger refuse to aid that man Eagen in some shady scheme last night?"
29602Had n''t she told him to take his gun when Eagen had been waiting for him?
29602Have you seen anybody that looked like him since?"
29602He was with you last night, was n''t he?"
29602He''d have to go for you to have him, would n''t he?
29602How did you come to rob the bank, Rathburn?"
29602How is he?"
29602How would it help you out of trouble, Fred?
29602I counted eight in your gang-- to hold up one stage, eh?"
29602I expect you figure on fixing those hands so they wo n''t be free, eh?
29602I suppose you''re goin''to give me a chance?"
29602I wonder if the lady could spare me a cup of coffee an''a biscuit?"
29602If such was the case, Rathburn reflected, how did it come that Sautee had been able to effect his release so easily?
29602In the middle of it, eh?"
29602Is n''t that so?"
29602Is n''t that the way it seems?"
29602Is n''t there room for both of us?"
29602Maybe he''s found out he did n''t get much, eh?
29602Maybe you know Judge Brown?"
29602My saddle with the horse?"
29602Now according to his nibs, the sheriff, I''m in to get pretty well acquainted with''em, eh?"
29602Now on a road like this----""Where did you meet the automobile?"
29602Now, do you begin to see daylight?"
29602Perhaps you heard about it?
29602Rathburn led the boy outside and said quickly:"Just what is this man Carlisle to you?"
29602Rathburn?"
29602Roger, eh?
29602Sautee?"
29602See?"
29602See?"
29602Seen anybody like that around here?"
29602Sneaking lizards, man, ca n''t you see I''m tempted to put a shot into one of them boxes and blow us both to kingdom come?"
29602Take this grub an''----""What''s the matter?
29602They''ll kill any horse on the desert, wo n''t they?
29602Too early for''em?"
29602Tryin''to make me think you was goin''to give it_ all_ to him?
29602Want it first or after?"
29602Was the man poking fun at him?
29602Was the man then a professional gambler?
29602Was this man, then, an aide of Mannix, the deputy?
29602Was you next?"
29602What are you saying?"
29602What could Eagen have to do with Doane which would warrant his visiting him early in the morning?
29602What did she expect of him?
29602What do you want?"
29602What hold had he upon her?
29602What mine is n''t?"
29602What stopped me?
29602What would she think if he were to give himself up?
29602What''s he doing now?"
29602What''s that long dark streak over there on the right?"
29602What''s the matter with you?"
29602What''s up?"
29602When you goin''up?"
29602Where is he-- out with the cattle?"
29602Where''s your handcuffs?"
29602Who let you loose, Jud?"
29602Who''s headin''your gang?"
29602Who''s they?"
29602Why did n''t you make all this known to the Arizona authorities?"
29602Why not?
29602Why should she say such a thing if she did n''t feel more than a friendly interest in him?
29602Why?
29602Will you do it?"
29602You boys sure ai n''t been misbehaving?"
29602You from the hills?"
29602You mean Rathburn is here?"
29602You remember, I was wondering_ two_ things?"
29602You was watching the sport to- day?"
29602You would n''t like it for me not to show any concern over your troubles, would you?"
29602You would n''t think I''d get homesick this way, after all the trouble I''ve had here, would you?"
29602You''re from the desert, are n''t you?
28675''Ai n''t y''u got something to sell?
28675''Ha- ve you seen my Flo''--Say, kid, where y''u bound, anyway?
28675''Ye shepherds, tell me, ha- ve you seen my Flora pass this way?''
28675A Mormon or a robber?
28675A man? 28675 Against the law, ai n''t it, Specimen?"
28675Ah, why need you say that?
28675Ai n''t there anything''bout how much the Gove''nuh gits?
28675Alone, Luis?
28675Am I not making camp?
28675An''what''ll ye do?
28675And have I done anything which meets yoh disapprobation?
28675And how about these? 28675 And oh, Jim,"she concluded, after they had said a good many things,"you had n''t anything to do with it, had you?"
28675And the Secretary?
28675And what made it go dry?
28675And which kind is the Boy Orator?
28675And why did n''t you raise yer objections when you seen me do it?
28675And why not?
28675And you say he ca n''t write?
28675Are n''t you feeling good to- night, Russ?
28675Are n''t you going to make her describe her own confusion more?
28675Are the holes dug deep as I marked them on the earth?
28675Are you going to be at that circus?
28675Are you going to eat?
28675Are you sure it''s constitutional?
28675Are you the geologist?
28675Away over there again? 28675 Bishop who?"
28675But what do you say yourself, Don Ruz?
28675But why do you pretend five beans make ten?
28675By Tucson?
28675Cake?
28675Can I go?
28675Can it be done without gunpowder?
28675Can the Tinaja sink altogether?
28675Can we make Snake River to- day, Jack?
28675Can you see the Black Cross?
28675Can you see''em?
28675Captain Paisley''s compliments,said the soldier, mechanically,"and will Governor Ballard take supper with him this evening?"
28675Come round ranch up here--"Anybody killed?
28675Come where?
28675Contrary to a law of the United States? 28675 Dat gemman?
28675Did Pretty Eagle tell the white chief that? 28675 Did he ask for so many?
28675Did n''t burn the house?
28675Did she mean that? 28675 Did you ever know the young man who boarded with you to do a dishonorable thing?"
28675Did you hear what he was doing?
28675Did you not have the highest opinion of him?
28675Did you not write their names on a paper and give it to this gentleman? 28675 Did you notice anything further unusual, corporal?"
28675Did you see any one?
28675Did you see that man Ephraim found by the cañon?
28675Did you think it was all right that first morning? 28675 Die Wacht am Rhein"was finished, and now it was"''Ha- ve you seen my Flora pass this way?''"
28675Do I care for opinions? 28675 Do n''t know a man when he shoots you in broad daylight?"
28675Do n''t you know enough about us yet to know we ca n''t be threatened?
28675Do n''t you know your duty''s to be on hand when you hear firing?
28675Do n''t you remember?

28675Do n''t you smoke?
28675Do y''u make it a rule to travel with ice- cream?
28675Do you believe it ever can go dry?
28675Do you consider Uncle Ramon nobody to live with?
28675Do you see your boarder anywhere here?
28675Do you think you''d catch anybody reading a contract wrong to old Meakum? 28675 Do you want to bet on that point?
28675Does Two Whistles think I can not do what I say?
28675Does them look like being touched in the head?
28675Ear?
28675Farewell gift, was n''t it, kid? 28675 Fer them?"
28675Fooled them clean through, did she? 28675 Fooled yer ag''in, did they?"
28675For Lord''s sake, Louise,he said,"who started that move?"

28675Have you lived so long,said Pounded Meat to his ancient comrade,"and do this in the council?"
28675Have you made water boil like me?
28675Have you no newer thing than poverty to tell me? 28675 Have you seen him lately?"
28675He means you''re to send troops?
28675Him?
28675Hot, ai n''t it?
28675How about Jenks and that jury?
28675How am I to look, please?

28675How''s this?
28675Hurt?
28675I know you have n''t gone crazy,said the doctor,"but who has?"
28675I suppose it was Mormons who robbed the stage?
28675I suppose you''re the Paymaster?
28675I trust no one has been-- hurt?
28675If the gold could be identified?
28675In what are you superior to me, suh, that I can not choose? 28675 Is he a Mormon?"
28675Is it far, sir?
28675Is my road different from other people''s?

28675My trombone haf come back, und--"You''ll play?
28675None of''em?
28675Not afraid? 28675 Now, Major,"said Jenks,"is your gold in the original sack, or which sack is my card in?"
28675Now,said he,"ai n''t you boys just a trifle like that duck?
28675Oh, it''s to be waitin''?
28675Oh, why did n''t we ever think of that before?
28675Oh,_ why_?
28675Open your safe,said he,"and what then?
28675Pleasure of seeing the country, ye say?
28675Politician?
28675Resign from the Lyceum? 28675 San Carlos?
28675Say, kid,he remarked, after some time,"what does J stand for?"
28675Say,he repeated, insistently,"what are we going to do?"
28675See that?
28675See things yoh way, suh?
28675She lied to them good, did she?
28675So ye were alone, were ye?
28675So you will camp here to- night, Don Ruz?
28675So you''ve not quit us yet?
28675Soft, ai n''t it?
28675Supposing they do n''t?
28675Tell your brother( would n''t a father have said Tom or Dick?)
28675That ends it, suh, I suppose?
28675That other, eh? 28675 The American?
28675The Delegate to Washington defends these thieves who robbed the United States?
28675The General ran?
28675The widow?
28675They''re not all boys?
28675This is the Paymaster''s team from Fort Grant?
28675To- morrow, sir?
28675Travelling alone, ai n''t he?
28675Tried to draw on me, did yer?
28675Um-- umpra-- what''s that? 28675 Uma- Pine''s friendly, sir, is n''t he?"
28675W''at''s dat?
28675Was it Uncle Ramon said that? 28675 Well, my dear?"
28675Well, there was a young man who boarded with you, was there not?
28675Well, what does it all mean?
28675Well? 28675 Were n''t his ear funny?"
28675Whar''s our money?
28675What are they up to?
28675What are you doing nowadays?
28675What are you feeding to the animals?
28675What cake?
28675What did California hold the record in before the Boy Orator broke it?
28675What did this gentleman do at the occurrence?
28675What did you hear them say?
28675What do I know?
28675What do you know of medicine?
28675What do you suppose they''re doing?
28675What do you think, Specimen?
28675What does Pounded Meat know of my medicine?
28675What does he come here for?
28675What does this girl want now?
28675What else should the poor man mean?
28675What fee can they pay for such a service?
28675What in the world have they done with those six other bags?
28675What is all this, Lolita?
28675What is it?
28675What were they doing?
28675What y''u got in your pack?
28675What''s that for?
28675What''s that got to do with it? 28675 What''s that got to do with me?"
28675What''s that mean? 28675 What''s that?"
28675What''s the matter with you, anyway, Cheschapah?
28675What''s the matter?
28675What''s up with ye, Sarah?
28675What''s up with you, y''u ape?
28675What''s your hurry?
28675What? 28675 When did you recognize that young man''s voice?"
28675When was the time that Price''s Left Wing surrendered?
28675Where are you bound, kid?
28675Where are you going?
28675Where did y''u say y''u found that fellow layin''the Injuns got?
28675Where is Uncle Ramon to- day?
28675Where is she now?
28675Where shall I start?
28675Where were you?
28675Where''s the gals all goin'', Bill?
28675Which of these two?
28675Which road do you go this time, querido?
28675Who dares say that?
28675Who did you say shot you?
28675Who is that hobo?
28675Who is this man?
28675Who knows?
28675Whose spurs?
28675Why are the white men not blind? 28675 Why did the young chap have a dog on his saddle?"
28675Why did you go to the hay- stack?
28675Why did you stay there six years, then?
28675Why do n''t you dance?
28675Why do n''t you make it deader, then?
28675Why do you always mock me, Lolita?
28675Why do you look down the trail so often?
28675Why do you tremble, my son? 28675 Why not?"
28675Why?
28675Will you believe I have n''t come to buy anybody''s silver mine?
28675Will you say that again, friend? 28675 Will you-- this will never-- can I find you to- morrow?"
28675Wo n''t you please let me treat?
28675Wonder how he''d like to have been that man the Injuns had sport with?
28675Y''u have n''t gone and dumped yer whole outfit at the commanding officer''s, have y''u now?
28675You ai n''t the paymaster?
28675You can all readily become entitled--"All? 28675 You can take my deposition,"I began; but what need to dwell upon this interview?
28675You got that?
28675You know E- egante?
28675You know Luis?
28675You not shoot?
28675You said this sack was one of yours, Major?
28675You savvy temporize?
28675You say the old chiefs take no stock in him_ yet_?
28675You say you can make water boil with no fire?
28675You will let me go with you?
28675You wo n''t?
28675You''ll excuse my meddling with your business?
28675You''re going to Tucson?
28675_ Did_ you, dear?
28675_ Nah!_ Johnny, how you get on?
28675_ Sport?_ Now I''ll tell y''u what sort of a town it is. 28675 _ Town_?"
28675''Flora pass this way?''"
28675Adams?"
28675Am I saying that, now, or only thinking it?
28675Am I-- are my friends-- included in this new depa''tyuh?"
28675And no one could be found to bury him except--''""Luis, are n''t you going to get my water for me?"
28675And that being so, do n''t we owe him the chance to clear himself if he can?
28675And what sort of people?
28675And what, suh, has the United States to say about my pay I have earned in Idaho?"
28675Are they all yours?"
28675Are you aware of his power and standing in this section?
28675Are you interested in silver?"
28675As for high- grade citizens, we do n''t claim to know as much as-- I suppose it''s New York you come from?
28675But Mr. Jones has pointed out--""Since when have you growed so honest, Jones?"
28675But is that so in our valley?
28675But what''s the matter with your coming to Tucson with me?"
28675But_ can_ y''u eat?"
28675Buy his mine behind Helen''s Dome?"
28675By- the- way, Mr. Jenks, I suppose you''ll return their horses and saddles now?"
28675Cactus?
28675Can y''u eat?"
28675Can you make the river boil?
28675Cumnor, see that dugout with side- thatch and roofing of tule?
28675D''you follow me?
28675D''you follow me?"
28675D''you follow me?"
28675Did he say he would give Cheschapah?
28675Did n''t you run across his tracks anywhere this summer?"
28675Did not the General exert his influence to rally his men?"
28675Did y''u ever see a crazy man?
28675Did ye say ye''re going to Globe?"
28675Did you happen to hear any one give an estimate of this band?"
28675Did you not hear this young man talking to his friends?"
28675Do I understand you to threaten me?
28675Do n''t you see her fixing that camp for me?
28675Do n''t you want to make camp?
28675Do you hear?"
28675Do you know, Luis, you have become a man quite suddenly?
28675Do you like Injuns, kid?"
28675Do you mean to say you did not know who they were?"
28675Do you mean to tell me you have seen me day aftuh day and meditated this treacherous attempt?"
28675Do you not need any bill?"
28675Do you not see it is my medicine?"
28675Do you remember?"
28675Do you suppose any Tucson jury''ll convict any of his Mormons if he says nay?
28675Do you think you''re going to ring him in?"
28675Does it not apply to yo''self, suh?
28675Father Rafael, Don Ramon, everybody?
28675For you''re a fighter too, ai n''t y''u?"
28675Genesmere knew, the foreman supposed, that this well was the last for more than a hundred miles?
28675Get them mines ye was after at Globe?"
28675Gilet?"
28675Go back?
28675Got any tobacco?
28675Got town lots there?"
28675Had this report discouraged the gentleman from visiting Arizona?
28675Has he many wives yet?"
28675Have n''t you often noticed how much finer the stars shine in this atmosphere than in the East?
28675He knew what people said-- did he not?
28675He told you that?"
28675He''s been talking to you, has he?
28675How by gum you know?
28675How many States and Territories is it that we count united under our Stars and Stripes?
28675How many were there?"
28675How might that audience of Paris, Texas, appropriately date its letters?
28675How would he give me?
28675How would it do, he suggested, to have a round of jack- pots, say ten-- or twenty, if the member from Silver City preferred-- and then stop?
28675I save his life?
28675I''d like to know if that do n''t fill the bill?"
28675In one hand, or two?
28675Indians?
28675Indians?
28675Is it_ imperative_ you mean?"
28675Is that the way still?"
28675Is the medicine bad to- day?"
28675Is this the way with the Sioux?"
28675It was not for the sake of justice but from private revenge that Mrs. Sproud had moved; and, after all, had the boy injured her so much as this?
28675Jenks?"
28675Kla- how- ya, six?"
28675Lolita perhaps had told him?
28675Luis, do you remember the day Uncle Ramon locked me up for riding on the kicking burro, and you came and unlocked me when uncle was gone?
28675Must I do everything?"
28675Must I go all that way myself?
28675My son, do you not care any more for my words?"
28675No wonder if they did, with this spell of drought-- but why mix up a plain thing with a lot of nonsense about a black cross down a hole?
28675Now what''s that, do you suppose?"
28675Now, if you want to look at good paying rock, thousands in sight, in sight, mind you--""Are you coming along with us?"
28675Or would the old warrior take me to the white man''s camp on the horse his young squaw left?"
28675Possibly wife, I thought, more likely mother, and I asked,"Is Mrs. Follet strict?"
28675Rocklin flushed, and called the next witness, whispering sulkily to me,"What can you expect if the court starts out against you?"
28675Say, what''s yer name?"
28675Saying nothing?
28675Shall I ever forget those ruffians who wanted to lynch the first one?
28675Sit down and get warm, wo n''t you?"
28675So you''ll be on hand sure now?"
28675So you''re buying no mines this season?"
28675Sproud?"
28675Square miles of what?
28675Stage- robbers?
28675That''s your opinion?"
28675The interpreter laughed-- she had a broad, sweet, coarse face, and laughed easily-- and said in English,"You hear about E- egante?"
28675The question is, are the fathers or the sons going to run the Crow Nation?"
28675The train had just brought him from Tucson, he told me, and would I indulge?
28675Their heyday, and carousals, and happy- go- luckiness all gone, and in the remaining hours-- what?
28675They had been too busy talking of the next debate, which was upon the question,"Ought we to pray for rain?"
28675Was she not lovely and he twenty- two?
28675Was that her genuine reason?"
28675Was that shame at owning she believed such stuff?
28675Was-- was that talk of yours, and singing-- was that bluff?"
28675Well, now, you''re not going to blind them yet?
28675What business had October to be hot like this?
28675What did you say your name was?"
28675What do I know about their legal quibbles at Washington?"
28675What do the Sioux warriors do now when they meet the white man on this river?
28675What do you care?
28675What do you say, for example, to the Kentucky and Tennessee mountaineers, with their vendettas of blood descending from father to son?
28675What if her priest did tell her?
28675What made you come this route?"
28675What sort of a town is it for sport?"
28675What use was there in looking down a place into a hole?
28675What was the good in standing in the road here?
28675What were they going to lynch the brother for?"
28675What word did any of them drop that wo n''t bear other constructions?
28675What''s the tax at Mike''s dance- house now?"
28675What''s your business?"
28675What''s your hurry?"
28675What''s your idea in going to Carlos?
28675What''s your name?"
28675Where did you pick up that-- that thing?
28675Where''s your proof?
28675Where?"
28675Which shall it be?"
28675Who are you that I and these gentlemen must take oaths befo''you?"
28675Who was it said to me right in the street that he disapproved of lynching?
28675Why do dey triflin''chillun ride in de kerridge?"
28675Why do n''t you go back to Sonora, then, and be rich in five minutes?
28675Why in the world does he git to cryin''for_ now_, do you suppose?"
28675Why surrender?
28675Why, then?
28675Why?"
28675Will you do it, Mistuh Hewley-- a hun''red a hand?"
28675Wo n''t you get me some fresh water now?"
28675Yet how can we help wondering about this mysterious Tinaja?
28675Yet how could I help him?
28675You boys wo n''t do anything till I come back, will you?"
28675You got that other?"
28675You threaten me, suh?
28675You''ve done no work but what I told you?"
28675[ Illustration:"''AIN''T Y''U GOT SOMETHING TO SELL?''"]
28675_ Cake_, did ye say?"
28675_ Him?_"The disgusting truth flashed clear on Jones.
28675ca n''t you heave?"
28675how_ can_ a man fire his gun right after it''s been discharged?"
28675inquired Luis, pleased at this slight coincidence--"will the Tinaja go dry, do you think?"
28675is dey folks gwineter shoot me?"
28675not a very little?"
28675said Mowry;"that there tailor- made boy?
28675said Mr. Long, deeply interested,"they did n''t eat_ them_?"
28675what_ you_ gwineter do?"
34928Are you glad I found you because you care for me, Jack?
34928But has it ever occurred to any one of you where we are to put her? 34928 But we are getting all we can, are n''t we?
34928But would n''t Frank have enjoyed this long ride with you this morning, Jack?
34928But, Frieda, baby,Jack protested,"are n''t you and Professor Russell also out here, as you call it?
34928Dear old Jack, was there ever anyone else in the world quite so generous or so absurd? 34928 Did Olive tell you to say that to me?
34928Did n''t you hear a slight noise then?
34928Do n''t you know that these jewels are heirlooms in the Kent family, that they always belong to the wife of the eldest son? 34928 Do n''t you think, Jim,"she asked,"that Ralph had better not go down to his old quarters to sleep tonight?
34928Do n''t you?
34928Do you, Jean?
34928Frank,she asked more wistfully than she herself realized,"wo n''t you promise not to talk about your feeling for me for a time?
34928Giovanni''s?
34928Girls,said a reproachful voice suddenly,"is this the way you keep your sacred promise to me to rest until dinner time?
34928Have I said that I had changed my mind about Merrit?
34928Have you heaps of letters, Jack? 34928 How can I tell what a lot of crazy, obstinate men are going to do?
34928I am right not to speak of this trouble Ralph Merrit is having with the men at Rainbow Mine, do n''t you think so, Jim?
34928I do n''t see why you should be so glad, Ralph?
34928I wonder if you could come somewhere with me for a little while, where we could talk without any one else seeing us?
34928I wonder if you will tell me if you were happy in your married life? 34928 Is n''t everything all right, Baby?
34928Is n''t our visitor to be Frank Kent?
34928Jack dear, what has Carlos done or said?
34928Jack, have you heard anything more about when Miss Winthrop and Olive are planning to come for their visit to us?
34928Jean,Jack asked,"I wonder if you happen to know where Ralph Merrit is?
34928Jean,the older woman''s voice had quite changed and was now both cold and stern,"I wonder what kind of a partnership you think marriage is?
34928Jim,he asked,"may I make a promise to you?
34928May I have a turn at guessing, please?
34928Nothing has happened to Jimmikins since I have been away? 34928 Oh, do n''t you?"
34928Oh, they say that, do they?
34928Ralph? 34928 Sleep on the divan in the living room tonight, wo n''t you?
34928Tell us about the new miners, wo n''t you please, Ralph,she asked,"their names and where some of them came from-- anything you know?
34928Then why wo n''t Frieda ride with us?
34928Well, why not?
34928What are you talking about, Ralph Merrit?
34928What could Olive''s words mean? 34928 What do you suppose that a man who dabbles in Egyptology for an amusement would send as a bouquet to a baby?"
34928What right have you anyhow to consider that my feeling for you has any connection with Frank Kent? 34928 What''s the trouble with me, Raines, as a boss?"
34928Whatever are you doing out here? 34928 Where is Jack, Olive?"
34928Who is it you are going to send for to come to the ranch?
34928Who is that thin man over there all by himself in the blue overalls and old hat? 34928 Why did n''t I tell you at once?
34928Why should n''t a fellow like a compliment as well as a girl?
34928Why, Jean, where have you come from? 34928 Will Jack Ralston ever learn to be less reckless about her riding, Jim?"
34928Wo n''t you wait a minute, please?
34928You are glad, are n''t you?
34928You are not disputing that statement, are you?
34928You believe that Jack really cares for me?
34928And if it is true, dear, do n''t you feel that we have been close enough to each other to have you make me your confidant?"
34928And if she had found no answer to them, how could any one else?
34928And since he had a confession to make, why not begin with her to whom it would be hardest to say it?
34928And was it not for her sake that Carlos had left his own tribe and taken upon himself many of the ways of the white man?
34928And where are you going to find a place for any one else at Rainbow Lodge?"
34928Because if she were, what was standing in the way of their engagement?
34928Besides, did she not really wish to let Ralph know just how she felt about him?
34928Besides, had she not had many joys in the past and Olive for many years so few?
34928But I do n''t see just why he should be so specially severe upon girls?"
34928But afterwards what should they do?
34928But dear me, what does he mean by coming in at the front door without knocking?"
34928But do you happen to have anything in your pocket more substantial than beef tea?
34928But in any case, girl, do n''t you see I have got to go down before the others?
34928But what could have happened, what caused the explosion?
34928But what has become of him recently, for now I think of it I have not seen him before for several days?"
34928But what is all this mystery about anyway?
34928But what was making Jacqueline so unusually quiet?
34928But where is Ralph?
34928But you brought me home safely after all, did n''t you, Carlos?"
34928CHAPTER XII TWO CONVERSATIONS"JACK, you have not played fair with me; what is it that has happened?"
34928CHAPTER XV AN UNFORTUNATE DISCUSSION"BUT why wo n''t either Jean or Frieda come with us?"
34928Can you guess of any possible obstacle to Jack''s feeling for me?"
34928Colter-- Ruth?"
34928Could it be possible that Ralph Merrit''s difficulties were graver than they suspected?
34928Could it be possible that she was going to marry solely for position?
34928Could n''t you ask him to tell you?
34928Could she ever really be happy with this thought in the back of her mind?
34928Did he say whether he was going to have dinner with us tonight or with the men at the Ranch House?"
34928Did she really and truly seem to mean it?"
34928Do let me have him do it, Jack darling, please?
34928Do n''t you see that I just ca n''t think about anything else now?"
34928Do you care for him, Jean?"
34928Do you suppose that I have no pride and no self- respect?"
34928Do you think it would make any difference if I go and talk to him for a few moments?
34928Do you think that when men go into business together that one brings everything to the firm and the other nothing?
34928Does it bore you so dreadfully to have only me as a companion?
34928For did she not have health, youth, plenty of money and an adoring family?
34928For goodness sake tell me what ever induced a sensible, level- headed fellow like we all believed you were to do such a stupid thing?"
34928For had she not merely succeeded in mortifying her friend without arriving one bit nearer the truth which she sought?
34928For he had written: MY LADY OF THE LONE TRAIL: Are you not weary of the life and the ways of the white women and men?
34928For in the light of her present revelation had she not at last felt a weight lifting itself from her own heart and a clear vision come to her mind?
34928For was not Jack''s recent question to her the keynote of the whole puzzling situation?
34928For what in heaven''s name had become of Jacqueline Ralston at this critical moment?
34928For whatever had inspired Frieda to dress up as she had?
34928For why did Jack fail to return Frank''s affection?
34928Gracious, girls, who is that knocking?
34928Had Jack been under some cruelly false impression?"
34928Had she ever seen her cousin more animated or more interested?
34928Had she not actually shed tears in secret?
34928Had she not at one time seemed to be an Indian like himself?
34928Had she not been raised among the Indian people and did she not comprehend their shy, proud natures?
34928Had she not lived among them, eaten their food and spoken their speech?
34928Had they ever felt or shown any difference between her and themselves in the right to everything they possessed?
34928Has n''t she manners enough to say''howdy''to two fellows who have nearly ridden themselves to death?"
34928Have I not stayed quietly here waiting and watching for you, learning many things which I have hated, that we might not fail to understand each other?
34928He has not cut a tooth or anything, has he, Ruth?"
34928He is taught to read and write, and he asks''for what?''
34928How can she make up her mind to marry a foreigner instead of an American?
34928How could she truthfully present the situation to Frank, as it appeared to her, without putting Olive in an impossible position?
34928How often have Mr. Colter and I told you that you were never to do it?
34928I could n''t exactly propose to you, could I, dear?"
34928I received your letter and you want to know what I think of it?"
34928I wonder if Jim knows him?"
34928I wonder if it can be the far- away guest and friend, who arrived this afternoon by the iron trail of the prairies?"
34928I wonder if they can be dissatisfied with Ralph''s management?
34928I wonder if they will be back in time for dinner?"
34928I wonder just what Giovanni would receive in exchange for all he has to give?"
34928I wonder what the boy''s exact reason is?
34928Is it because you have had a better position offered you?
34928Is n''t it dreadful that you are going away so soon, Jack, dearest, after all our work and planning?
34928Is n''t the room as lovely as you expected?"
34928Is there any other girl in America who would not care more than you do for Frank''s splendid position and all the rest of it?
34928It is a pity she did not have a son, is n''t it?
34928It is a queer and interesting state of things, is n''t it?"
34928It seemed almost cruel to force her jaded horse at such a pace through the loose sands; yet how else could she ever hope to catch up with her escort?
34928Moreover, did they believe that she would miss Olive''s home- coming?
34928Must she ask Jack if this were true?
34928Now may we go to meet him?"
34928OLD FRIENDS AND SOMETHING MORE 254 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, RALPH MERRITT?"
34928Oh, children, what made me fall in love with an Englishman and one who may inherit a title?
34928Russell?"
34928Ruth, you and Jim would want Jack to have the place after she marries and has children, would n''t you?
34928She asks if she may bring Miss Winthrop along with her for a visit?"
34928Should she take a walk now, or go down to Rainbow Mine to see if anything was going on?
34928Suppose by some miracle Jean should in time learn to care for him, what would he have to offer her?
34928Tell us, please, what has happened to Ralph?"
34928The Prince, your husband?"
34928The three girls were seriously annoyed and Jack spoke sharply:"Carlos, what do you mean by entering our room without asking permission?
34928Then perhaps in answer to the thought in the mind of every person in the room Jim ended abruptly:"Where''s Jack?
34928Then since Jack Ralston''s return to the ranch had she not resolutely refused to let Frank Kent come to see her until Olive was also at the Lodge?
34928Then why had he recently become so disheartened and dissatisfied?
34928Then would she have the courage to rush out to his defense as Jack undoubtedly would have, no matter what overtook her?
34928Was Jack in love with Frank?
34928Was this a big wax doll about to take her place next him?"
34928We do like Frank better than any one we know, do n''t we?
34928What a hopeless, horrid puzzle it all was and of all persons was not Jacqueline Ralston the most inadequate for straightening it out?
34928What annoying freak had possessed Carlos to ride off with her horse without offering any explanation?
34928What could have been the matter with her?
34928What could she do to amuse herself?
34928What could she say?
34928What could the miners be wishing with Ralph that they must see him at once, now when they knew that Jim Colter was not on the ranch?
34928What do you think I beheld our baby doing the other day?
34928What does Frank mean to me?"
34928What else was there to wish for?
34928What has become of Frieda lately anyhow-- I almost never see her except at meal times?"
34928What has happened to put you in so evil a mood?"
34928What in the world was that?"
34928What is going on down at the mine?
34928What might not happen to him?
34928What more does it teach him of the woods and the fields, of the beauty and imagery of nature, of all that he cares to know?
34928What on earth did the boy have in mind to do?
34928What was the matter with her?
34928What would Frank have had to say in the matter?"
34928When would Ruth teach Jim that he was not to tease the Ranch girls before strangers just as if they were tiny children?
34928Who had made a mistake?
34928Who is he, Ruth, a stranger or an old friend?
34928Who would ever have suspected the Professor of such exquisite taste?
34928Why ca n''t you ever ask a young man''s advice, Ralph Merrit-- you are young yourself?"
34928Why did she continue to treat him with such disregard and yet keep him lingering on at the ranch?
34928Why do you consider that an Italian is different from other men?
34928Why had Jim brought up two of the wounded men and left the third, their oldest friend, still in the depth of Rainbow Mine?
34928Why had Merrit not warned him of what he would have to endure?
34928Why had Ralph Merrit not said what he intended saying before now?
34928Why has n''t he come up with the others?"
34928Why have n''t you understood in these last few months?
34928Why is n''t he with the others who are being introduced to Jim and Frank and Jack?
34928Why on earth did Jack not send the men after the stock?"
34928Why should he read of the American life he lives apart from?"
34928Why should he study what Jim Colter and the girls wished him to learn?
34928Why should her appearance create so much comment?
34928Why should she talk in this absurd fashion?
34928Why stay awake longer when she understood the state of things perfectly?
34928Will you tell me, please, whether Mr. Colter is at home or whether I may be apt to find him anywhere about the ranch?"
34928Wo n''t it be splendid for you to have her with you again, Jack dear?
34928Wo n''t you come back to Mrs. Colter with us?"
34928Wo n''t you just stay on here with us at the Rainbow Ranch as you used to do and let us have a happy time together?
34928Would Ralph be forced by the miners into advising them to buy more machinery before he knew just what should be done?
34928Would n''t it be splendid if they came to us on their wedding trip?"
34928Would this not perfectly explain her attitude toward him since the beginning of his love- making?
34928Would you mind telling me why?"
34928Yet had she not borne a good deal already that day and for several weeks beforehand in Olive''s indifference and critical air toward her?
34928You are n''t going to a ball later on this evening, are you, and forgotten to mention it?"
34928You did not see anybody, did you, on your way from the house?
34928You do n''t mind, do you, dear?"
34928You knew he had been wanting to come for a long time, did n''t you?"
34928You men are n''t loafing with the work?"
34928[ Illustration:"SHE HAD HEARD THAT MASTERFUL TONE BEFORE"]"Have Miss Ralston and Mr. Colter told you that they wanted me to quit?"
28356A straight case of''two souls with but a single thought,''do n''t you reckon?
28356All this rustling that has been going on for the past year and a half: are Fox and the Meilke woman mixed up in that? 28356 And are you sure they did n''t get out of that pasture and wander on down the Cove, among all those willows?
28356And if you''re going to be horrid--"Will the-- lady he wants to marry give him another chance?
28356And write me a nice, long letter, wo n''t you? 28356 And you have n''t lost any more cattle, have you?"
28356And your paw ca n''t raise fifty dollars?
28356And-- did you hear, Ward? 28356 Are the fish biting good?"
28356Are you going far?
28356Are you plumb tickled to death to see me, William?
28356Are you sorry you like me?
28356Are you through being pals, Wilhemina?
28356Are you? 28356 Are you?"
28356Are-- has there been any more trouble about losing stock?
28356BRAVE BUCKAROO,--I wonder if you ever in your whole life got a Christmas present?
28356Better than what? 28356 Brave Buckaroo got a headache?"
28356But what would you do about the-- cattle?
28356But, Marthy, have n''t you noticed he does n''t look as well as he used to? 28356 Ca n''t the Billy part turn carpenter?"
28356Ca n''t you see I''m standing all I can stand, just with the sight of you? 28356 Can I?"
28356Can you think of any more names to call me, besides my own, I wonder?
28356D''you turn them calves out into the corral?
28356Did I scare you? 28356 Did he say anything?"
28356Did you get everything done? 28356 Did you know you was locked in?"
28356Did you?
28356Do I get any supper, William? 28356 Do n''t look very encouraging, does it, Blue?"
28356Do n''t you think she ought to-- if she l- loves him?
28356Do n''t you want to ride a ways with me?
28356Do n''t?
28356Do you mean to say I ca n''t? 28356 Do you mind if we stop at the Cove, Ward?
28356Do you never get what you do n''t want?
28356Do you think, Miss MacDonald, she would feel like talking business for a few minutes?
28356Do you understand all about it?
28356Do you want to be worse, so I''ll have to cure you all over again?
28356Does it matter such a h-- a deuce of a lot what he thinks?
28356Feel that? 28356 Going down into the Cove?
28356Going to have a rival in the business, am I?
28356Got a knife? 28356 Got any ginger?"
28356Have you any idea at all, who-- it is?
28356Have you seen or heard anything of Ward lately?
28356Head still ache, William?
28356Hmm- mm-- how bad is it-- in the house?
28356How about mommie''s child?
28356How are the cattle wintering?
28356How de do, Miss MacDonald? 28356 How do you do it, Buck?
28356How do you know?
28356How do you mean-- the real rustlers?
28356How does it feel?
28356How much sugar, patient?
28356How much''s it goin''to take?
28356How you was, already?
28356How''re-- the cattle-- looking?
28356How''s that?
28356How''s your other patient, Wilhemina? 28356 Huh?"
28356I read about it-- at Waterloo when the Duke of Wellington-- wasn''t it? 28356 I suppose you and Foxy and that halfbreed have been fixing up some more evidence, huh?
28356I wonder where he is, anyway?
28356I''ll go back and kill him; shall I, Bill Loo?
28356I''ve sure put the fear of the Lord into you, have n''t I, Buck?
28356I-- I-- what difference does it make, what it said?
28356I-- did you do what I told you, Phoebe, about-- mommie''s things?
28356If I turn you loose, Buck, what will you do?
28356Is n''t he here?
28356Is she that bad?
28356Is that why you''ve stuck yourself in these hills for three whole months and never come near? 28356 Is that you, Billy Louise?
28356Is there any hurry, Marthy?
28356Is there anything funny about Jase Meilke dying, Billy Louise?
28356Is-- ah-- Mrs. Meilke in?
28356Isn''t-- what?
28356It would n''t be polite to be inquisitive about a lady, would it?
28356Last night it just came to me all at once that you must have found some poison besides strychnine--"Eh? 28356 Marthy says--""A month?"
28356Me? 28356 Nobody would rustle cattle from a lady, I hope?
28356Not about the all- goneness, have you?
28356Now ai n''t you relieved, yourself, that he''s going to stay?
28356Oh, has everything got to happen all at once?
28356Oh, will you? 28356 Oh-- doesn''t it?"
28356Oh-- er-- did you? 28356 Put a fresh edge on it for me, huh?"
28356Really, Miss Louise, you''ve no mercy on a tenderfoot, have you?
28356Say, I was some bandit, was n''t I, William Louisa?
28356Say, I''ll dig some more bait, and then we''ll go fishing; shall we?
28356Say, Miss MacDonald,Floyd asked, by way of beginning a new paragraph,"how about that fellow over on Mill Creek?
28356Say, William, when these hills get filled up with Y6es and big Ds, all these other scrub critters will have to hunt new range, wo n''t they?
28356Send for me at once if she complains of that pain again, or appears--"But what is it?
28356Shall I go first? 28356 So you came back, did yuh?"
28356Sure you want to be just pals, Wilhemina- mine?
28356Sure you want to tackle him, lady- girl?
28356They have n''t bothered you any, I hope?
28356Think not?
28356This the new gate?
28356W- where''s Charlie?
28356Wall, what d''yuh want now?
28356Want to hear them?
28356Ward Warren, for heaven''s sake, what are you doing?
28356Ward, you are n''t going into debt, are you?
28356Was it-- did Buck Olney break it?
28356Was it?
28356We could n''t rub out the brands; what else could we do? 28356 We''re down; but how the deuce do you reckon we''ll get up again?"
28356Well, am I keeping you?
28356Well, how am I going to doctor you and feed you and make you all comfy, with one hand?
28356Well, how you like town, hey? 28356 Well, if he does n''t use poison, for goodness''sake, what does he use?"
28356Well, is there any reason why she should n''t?
28356Well, she is, though you would n''t suspect it, would you? 28356 Well, what if he is?
28356Well, what of it? 28356 Well, who did, then?"
28356Were they vented?
28356Wha''s molla, Bill?
28356What about Peter?
28356What all''s been happening in the world, anyway?
28356What are you going to do now, Marthy?
28356What are you squinting up your nose for? 28356 What could I do?
28356What d''ye think? 28356 What did he do to yuh, that you had to go t''work and shoot him?
28356What did you say, Billy Louise? 28356 What do you think you''re talking about, anyway?"
28356What do you want to persuade him into?
28356What does he look like, Ward? 28356 What for?"
28356What for?
28356What have you done, Miss MacDonald? 28356 What made you catch your breath when I told my name that night I came?"
28356What makes you ask that?
28356What makes you sound that way, Marthy? 28356 What was it you read?"
28356What was it, Peter? 28356 What was that?
28356What''d yuh come fer?
28356What''s Phoebe been doing for it? 28356 What''s all this?
28356What''s the rush? 28356 When I was a kid I ran across the name-- somewhere-- and I used it to play with--""Yes?"
28356When are you going to-- marry me?
28356Where did you hang Buck?
28356Where did you leave your horse?
28356Where had you ever heard of me before?
28356Where was it you hanged Buck Olney?
28356Whereabouts is it?
28356Which ones?
28356Why did n''t you come before, then? 28356 Why did n''t you make Charlie practise on a cowhide for awhile first?"
28356Why do n''t you show some human inquisitiveness about my being here?
28356Why will people do things that make a lot of trouble for others?
28356Why, how do you do?
28356Why? 28356 Why?"
28356Will you come in?
28356Will you give me a lump of sugar and let me look at all the pitty pittys in the album? 28356 Will you?"
28356Will your game leg let you turn over? 28356 Wonder what he''s doing down here?"
28356Would that do any good-- bring them back?
28356Yes-- and what about-- understanding all about it? 28356 Yes?
28356Yes? 28356 Yes?
28356You are n''t going to turn them over to the sheriff, are you, William? 28356 You come on stage, hey?
28356You did n''t neglect to put your brand on them, did you?
28356You do like me-- a little bit, do n''t you?
28356You do n''t feel-- badly, do you, Marthy?
28356You do n''t mind if I bring Ward down here, do you, Marthy?
28356You found a gold mine?
28356You know what inquisitiveness did to old lady Lot, do n''t you? 28356 You know what that cabin has always been: dark and dirty and not a comfortable chair to sit down in, or a book or magazine or anything?
28356You know you belong to me, do n''t you? 28356 You missed some of it, did n''t you?"
28356You run stock in here too, do you, Miss MacDonald?
28356You saw mommie, of course; you came from home?
28356You say-- over his picture?
28356You see what I mean, do n''t you? 28356 You shot him, did yuh?"
28356You sure sabe how to make things come your way, do n''t you?
28356You take that in the School of Experience, do n''t you?
28356You think they were driven off, do n''t you?
28356You think those Injuns are going to hurt themselves worrying? 28356 You wish I were an embroidering young lady, do you?
28356You''ll give me the right, wo n''t you, Wilhemina?
28356You''re a pretty mean young person sometimes, are n''t you? 28356 You''ve missed some?"
28356And I can-- but what''s the use?
28356And I''m afraid; what if I ca n''t make good?
28356And besides, do n''t you see I''ve been wanting an excuse to ride Rattler ever since I knew you?
28356And he gave you quite a scare last spring, did n''t he, Miss Louise?"
28356And life is a lot different when you get out into it, is n''t it?
28356And losing four fine, big heifer calves at one whack is no way to get rich; is it, Miss Louise?"
28356And still, what else could he do?
28356And where would you be, you old skate?
28356And would you mind bringing the looking- glass, William?
28356And--""Oh, have I?"
28356And--"Ai n''t that Ward coming, Billy Louise?
28356Anything more?"
28356Anything new or startling taken place?"
28356Are n''t we, buckaroo?"
28356Are those your horses down there?
28356Are you going to turn your cattle out, Marthy?
28356Are you sad?
28356Are you sure they are n''t with the rest of the cattle?
28356Aw, where would you be, if you did n''t have me to devil the life out of you?
28356Beckon you could manufacture a pair for me?"
28356Better see if there has been any cattle shipped or driven through that way, do n''t you think?"
28356But I dunno-- When Charlie gits here, mebby--""Oh, is that the nephew?
28356But he continued, quite frankly for him:"Has it ever struck you, William Jane, that after all Foxy is not sacrificing such a hell of a lot?"
28356But is n''t it awful?"
28356But that will do the business all right, do n''t you think?"
28356But what if it is n''t a body?
28356But what then?
28356But when, they deliberately try to hand me the blame-- and I''m not accusing anybody-- anybody in particular, am I?
28356But where was Ward?
28356But working at what?
28356But-- where did he get the money for all that?"
28356CHAPTER XI WAS IT THE DOG?
28356CHAPTER XXI SEVEN LEAN KINE"And you looked good, all up above here?"
28356Ca n''t you tell a fellow what it is?"
28356Ca n''t you tell a pal, Wilhemina?"
28356Can Women Forget?
28356Could you expect Ward to guess that she had seen her faith in him die a violent death no longer than two weeks ago?
28356Could you ride part way home with me, Mr. Seabeck?
28356Did I give you more mood than I wiped off the slate?"
28356Did he say what it was, Billy Louise?"
28356Did you ever have a little girl, Marthy?"
28356Did you ever live with one, Ward?
28356Did you hire out to Junkins again?
28356Did you know he let them drift down the river?
28356Did you look for tracks?"
28356Did you notice anything different about your cabin?
28356Did you send for that nephew?
28356Did you?"
28356Do n''t you ever feel like coming down to the ranch and getting a square meal?"
28356Do n''t you ever make cookies with raisings on''em, Marthy?
28356Do n''t you know that all the time when I used to play with my pretend Ward Warren, he-- he never made love?"
28356Do n''t you reckon an old lady that has had her own way all her life kind of dreads the advent of a brand- new bride in her domain?"
28356Do n''t you suppose it''s some gang over on the river, Floyd?
28356Do n''t you?
28356Do you advise that-- really?"
28356Do you know Seabeck?
28356Do you know you tried to shoot me up when I came in?
28356Do you know-- whether-- any other cowman has suffered from their-- mm- mm-- haste to get rich?"
28356Do you like children?
28356Do you remember that evening when Ward sat before the fire thinking so intently of a man that he pulled a gun on Billy Louise when she startled him?
28356Do you want to know what I''m going to do with you?"
28356Do you want to look through the bunch?"
28356Do you?"
28356Does Jase like that kind of butter, Marthy?"
28356For the land''s sake, what are you dreaming about?"
28356Had any supper, mommie?"
28356Had he left the country?
28356Hang it, why does a fellow have to learn fresh lessons for everything he undertakes?
28356Has Jase gone fishing again, Marthy?"
28356Has n''t he got good eyesight, or what?
28356Has-- Ward been around lately?"
28356Has-- anybody been here lately?"
28356Have you been educating your musical taste in the last week, Miss William Louisa?"
28356Have you got debts too, Marthy?"
28356Have you lost any?"
28356Have you seen anything of the Cove folks lately?
28356Have-- m- m-- your-- friends ever mentioned the matter to you?"
28356He has a sort of gray look, do n''t you think?
28356He shifted the pail of currants to the other arm and spoke again:"What is it, Wilhemina?
28356He worked for you folks a year or so ago, did n''t he?
28356Head ache, mum?
28356How are things up your way, Warren?"
28356How are you?
28356How could she help it?
28356How did she know she had not made a mistake, there at that corral?
28356How did you hear about it?"
28356How do you feel, Ward?
28356How had she dared think him a thief?
28356How have you been, Phoebe?"
28356How is the old lady?"
28356How long did you lay up there on the bluff this time, waiting to catch me when I was n''t looking?
28356How the deuce do you think a man''s going to shave without a glass?
28356How would you like a cup of tea, patient?"
28356How would you like these strung on a gold chain?"
28356How''s mommie?"
28356How''s yer maw?"
28356How''s your maw?"
28356Huh?
28356I like to have ridden my horse to a standstill getting here to- night; know that?
28356I was too busy to listen, but--""But what?
28356I wonder if a hot turpentine cloth would n''t be better than this?
28356I would--""Would you-- be as ready to help somebody else?
28356I''d hate to gamble on that horse standing in one spot for two or three days, would n''t you?"
28356I''ll make a pot of coffee, Ward, and I''ll fill the lantern and fix it so you can heat a cup when you want to; how will that be?"
28356I''ve seen him a few times; what''s his name?
28356I''ve warned Marthy, so--""Are you dead sure it''s the dog?"
28356I-- wonder would it be wicked to sing?
28356If he could--""Well, is it poison you use?"
28356If it were some other fellow, now, what would Ward advise him to do under the circumstances?
28356If we try to steal it from someone else, we pay the penalty, do n''t you think?
28356If you mean to do what''s square, you''ll take them up to Seabeck''s and explain--""Explain who it was ran our brand on?"
28356In other words, are you human?
28356Is Mr. Seabeck at home?"
28356Is it that nasty lumbago again?"
28356Is n''t it perfectly pitiful?
28356Is n''t that right?"
28356Is the tea ready?"
28356It sort of makes a fellow feel shaky about going into cattle very strong, does n''t it?
28356It stands Foxy in hand to be good to her, do n''t you think?
28356It would be the brave buckaroo in the last chapter then, would it?"
28356It would be tough on Rattler, but then, what''s a range cayuse made for, anyway?
28356It''s early yet--""You''ll come back before night, wo n''t you?"
28356It''s hard luck; that Charlie Fox seems a fine, hard- working boy, do n''t you think?"
28356Junkins?"
28356Just give a yell for Mr. Seabeck, will you?
28356Just that you want to see him?"
28356Like''em?"
28356Live near here?"
28356Looks pretty fierce, all right, does n''t it?
28356Might not the paragraph she had burned been nothing more than the truth?
28356Miss Louise, do you have flying cattle in Idaho?"
28356No, Why should I feel bad?
28356Now do you think you can keep your senses, while I go and pick some nice, good meddy off a sage bush?"
28356Of course, I did n''t know her before Uncle Jason died-- do you think she has changed since, Miss Louise?"
28356Oh, ai n''t Peter Howling Dog with you?
28356Oh, do n''t you see?"
28356Olney?"
28356Pretty bright, eh?''
28356Pretty rough going, was n''t it?
28356Reckon we can make it?"
28356Remember?
28356Sabe?"
28356Say, Ward, do you think you could shave off those whiskers if I got everything ready for you?
28356Say, Wilhemina, if I stay away long enough, will you come after me again?"
28356Say, you did n''t know I''ve gone into the cow business myself, did you, William?
28356Say, you like me, do n''t you, Marthy?"
28356Seabeck has lost some--""Oh, are you sure?"
28356Seabeck?"
28356Seabeck?"
28356She saw John Pringle calling unexpectedly and insistently for his"time"--and where would she find another man whom she could trust out of her sight?
28356She was frightened when he came at her, and she had n''t presence of mind enough to see he was only bluffing and would n''t hurt--""Bluffing, was he?"
28356Should he go straight to Seabeck and tell him what he had found out?
28356Somebody I-- thought a-- lot-- of?"
28356Somebody in the Cove?
28356Sometimes she cheerfully declared that she was bored to death, and was n''t Ward just dying for a game of"rob casino"?
28356Star must be pretty near dry now, is n''t she?"
28356Surely to goodness you do n''t call Charlie Fox a born criminal, or Marthy Meilke?"
28356Surely to goodness you do n''t mind that little, harmless raveling?
28356That sounds mysterious, do n''t you think?"
28356That will stay wild forever, wo n''t it?
28356That''s what you call it when the former owner puts his brand in a different place to show that his ownership has ceased, is n''t it?
28356That''s where the bank was robbed, a few weeks ago, is n''t it?
28356Them Y6 cattle up above his place are his, I reckon?"
28356There''s Surbus; how''s that for a voice?
28356There''s a ranch somewhere ahead, on the Wolverine, is n''t there?"
28356They lived alone, did n''t they?"
28356Thief or honest man, treacherous or true-- what had happened to him?
28356Think I''ve got nothing to do but chase around the country calling on young ladies?
28356Trail''s a little narrow for three, is n''t it?
28356WAS IT THE DOG?
28356Was I to blame for thinking those cattle had been stolen?
28356Was Marthy going to make him take those cattle back?
28356Was his version of the past after all the correct one?
28356Was it possible?
28356Was there a gang of thieves operating in the country, and where did they stay?
28356Was there another girl like her in the world?
28356We''re all of us working for our own interests, are n''t we?"
28356Well, why do n''t you take a chunk out of me, then?
28356Were you headed for our place?
28356Wha''s molla?
28356What are we going to do about it, Ward?"
28356What are you, right now-- and always?
28356What became of the cattle that had disappeared, by twos and threes and sometimes more, in the last few months?
28356What can I do now?
28356What did it say?"
28356What did they say?"
28356What did you want to do?"
28356What do you call that, I''d like to know?
28356What do you think, Blue?
28356What does he do?"
28356What had happened to Ward?
28356What had happened to him?
28356What have you been doing to yourself?
28356What if he''d pitch with you?"
28356What if-- what if you found some of your cattle with-- with a big D-- run over your brand?"
28356What makes you so terrible late, Billy Louise?
28356What next?
28356What shall I say?
28356What was that you said just as I was getting on the second time?
28356What will he think?"
28356What would old Marthy do without him?
28356What would you want me to do?
28356What you want to stand there like that for?
28356What''s molla, Bill?"
28356What''s the other thing you want to know?"
28356Whatever could be the matter?
28356Whatever it is, ca n''t you tell me?
28356When do you think you could manage to ride?"
28356When was it?"
28356Where did Ward get the money to do all the things he had done, this spring and summer?
28356Where the dickens have you been for the last ten years?"
28356Where was Ward?
28356Where was Ward?
28356Where was Ward?
28356Which would you be, Marthy; a poet, or a cook?"
28356Who did you get to help?
28356Why ca n''t there be a universal course that fits one for every trade?"
28356Why did n''t you let Peter do it, or Marthy?
28356Why did you come, anyway?"
28356Why do n''t you get someone to stay with you?
28356Why do n''t you stay home when a fellow comes to see you?"
28356Why had Ward hinted that she did not like Charlie Fox, and why did n''t he himself like Charlie?
28356Why had she felt that weight of depression creep over her when they were leaving the Cove?
28356Why in the world did n''t you stick your brand on at the same time?"
28356Why must sordid trouble and dull misery hang over a beauty- spot like this?
28356Why?
28356Why?
28356Why?"
28356With the record you''ve got, you would n''t stand--""Who gave it to me, huh?
28356Would n''t that taste good, though?
28356You and me''ll be running a wagon and full crew in another year, do n''t you reckon?
28356You could have done a better job than that, could n''t you, Marthy?"
28356You did n''t look there, did you?"
28356You do n''t expect him to put in his time for nothing, do you?
28356You got back, hey?
28356You have n''t heard or seen anything, have you, Ward?"
28356You know he has left the country, do n''t you?
28356You know that, do n''t you?
28356You know yourself they were stolen; why not admit it?"
28356You like to be tousled and you know it; else why do you tag me all over the place when I do n''t want you?
28356You never do like anybody--""No?"
28356You send for that nephew right away, why do n''t you, Marthy?"
28356You thought you''d raise me, did you?
28356You want some bread and some nice, new honey, Billy Louise?
28356You''ll let me, wo n''t you?
28356Young hero-- Say, Bill, what''s the matter with that gazabo, anyway?
28356_ Yee- ee_--haw?
28356she cried,"and I did n''t have to walk a step, did I, Blue?
27355''Did n''t mail no letter at all?'' 27355 A woman rancher, eh?
27355A year?
27355About his neck? 27355 Ai n''t he a scream?"
27355Ai n''t it, though?
27355And the address?
27355And then he broke in?
27355And then?
27355Any idea who that fellow is?
27355Anything to mark the draw?
27355Are n''t you afraid he may beat it if you let him go that long?
27355Are n''t you rather lavish this morning?
27355Are n''t you rather wasting time trying to-- to frighten me with that sort of rubbish?
27355Are you Hardenberg?
27355Are you trying to throw a load into me? 27355 As for making up-- Why, do n''t you know that you''re more to him than ranches, or oil wells, or-- anything on earth?
27355At it?
27355Bemis hurt bad?
27355Better take the sorrel along, had n''t we?
27355Bud? 27355 But how on earth do you come to be away off here?"
27355But if anything happens--"Have they locked up the whole house?
27355But is n''t there some other way?
27355But what are you going to do now?
27355But what has happened? 27355 But what in thunder''s his object?"
27355But what would he have to gain--"Gain?
27355But where are you going?
27355But where has-- er-- Buck been all this time? 27355 But you''re not leaving now, without waiting to say good- by?"
27355By the way,he said hurriedly, annoyed at his embarrassment,"do you happen to know where the men are?
27355Ca n''t you tell a fellow, or do n''t you know?
27355Coming in?
27355Could I see it-- the letter, I mean?
27355Could I speak to you a moment, ma''am?
27355Could I speak to you a moment?
27355Could n''t we stick around here for a while and watch them?
27355Cow- man eh?
27355Did I act like a brainless idiot when I was-- was that way, or not?
27355Did Lynch happen to be with either of them?
27355Did Lynch know you were listening?
27355Did it work?
27355Did n''t she fire again?
27355Did n''t you say this Stratton was in France for months before he was killed?
27355Did they see yuh?
27355Did this Thorne-- What did you say his name was?
27355Did you catch sight of the rustlers?
27355Did yuh ever meet up with this here Stratton?
27355Did yuh see him hangin''around me this afternoon? 27355 Did-- did she say anything else?"
27355Do for me? 27355 Do n''t you see?"
27355Do n''t you think you''d better be starting back?
27355Do n''t you understand?
27355Do n''t you want me to saddle up for you?
27355Do n''t you want to hear the news, dear?
27355Do n''t yuh believe I could-- er-- ride before that?
27355Do n''t yuh want me to saddle up while you''re gettin''ready? 27355 Do you suppose it''s-- Tex?"
27355Do you-- love him, Mary?
27355Everything?
27355Feelin''better, now it''s mornin''?
27355Found out? 27355 Friend of Lynch?"
27355Gettin''kinda interested, ai n''t yuh?
27355Going to arrest him before we start for the Shoe- Bar?
27355Got a horse I can hire?
27355Got acquainted kinda sudden, did n''t we?
27355Got the makin''s?
27355Happen to have a regular six- gun around the place you''ll sell me?
27355Hardenberg?
27355Have the men come back?
27355Have you any notion? 27355 He handed you a letter?"
27355He''d better have the doctor at once, do n''t you think?
27355Hired?
27355How can I go and leave you like this?
27355How can I possibly help taking it seriously? 27355 How can I, without knowing the facts?
27355How come yuh to be so white?
27355How come?
27355How could that be?
27355How did you work it?
27355How is he?
27355How is she?
27355How long has he been here?
27355How the devil do I know what''s in that polecat''s mind? 27355 How the devil do yuh happen to be lookin''for work here?"
27355How was that?
27355How yuh feelin''?
27355How yuh feelin''?
27355How yuh feelin''?
27355How yuh goin''to get me home?
27355How''d yuh get back so quick?
27355Huh?
27355I ai n''t so hard to look at, am I? 27355 I warned yuh, did n''t I, the Shoe- Bar was a hoodoo outfit?"
27355I wonder what took him off like that?
27355I wonder?
27355I wonder?
27355If that hellion should get away-- Say, Buck, why could n''t yuh get him for attempted murder?
27355In the gully this side of the Rocking- R trail you met a Mexican on a sorrel horse?
27355Investigating what? 27355 Is that all?"
27355Is that gun loaded?
27355It''s a wonder-- But is this the only place you''re hurt?
27355Just whereabouts do you come off?
27355Looks to me like a pretty good bunch of steers,he commented, and then added carelessly:"What sort of a guy is this Tex Lynch, anyhow?"
27355Lost many head, have they?
27355Meanwhile, you''d like a little action, eh?
27355Mebbe so; but what''s the use in takin''chances? 27355 Miss Thorne around?"
27355Miss Thorne hired yuh, then?
27355My-- my horse? 27355 News?
27355No harm done, though, is there? 27355 Offer?
27355Oh, is that so?
27355Oh, that''s it?
27355Oil?
27355Passed you on the trail this afternoon, did n''t I? 27355 Queer?"
27355Quit?
27355Really? 27355 Say, Buck,"he went on quickly,"What makes yuh so keen about this, anyhow?
27355Say, Bud, how big is that north pasture place you were telling about?
27355Seen Bemis lately?
27355Short and fat in a Hammond car?
27355Should you rather go inside?
27355Sickening, ai n''t it?
27355Some little kidder, is n''t she, on short acquaintance?
27355Somewhere off to the west of the Shoe- Bar, is n''t it?
27355Still got that notion the outfit is n''t safe?
27355Stratton?
27355Stratton?
27355Sulking, eh?
27355Suppose I offered to let you go free if you give up Miss Thorne?
27355Tex?
27355Texas?
27355That so? 27355 That so?"
27355That was it, eh? 27355 That''s all settled, then?"
27355That''s what I s''posed, but what''s there to find out? 27355 The Shoe- Bar?
27355The day after?
27355There''s something, is n''t there, I should do about-- about turning it over-- to you?
27355They said something-- It is n''t possible that he can-- force her to-- to marry him?
27355They would n''t be likely to notice where you left the Paloma trail, would they?
27355Think you know him?
27355Train come in? 27355 Tried to shake me, eh?"
27355W''a''s matter?
27355Wal, we got his goat good that time, did n''t we, Butch? 27355 Want me to look you over?"
27355Was it yuh put it into his head to come out here?
27355Was that part of it true?
27355We''d pretty near decided that anyhow, had n''t we?
27355We''ve been worrying-- You-- you''re quite all right now?
27355We?
27355Well, did Thorne explain why he let it go so long before making his claim?
27355Well, listen; keep what I said under yore hat, will yuh?
27355Well?
27355Well?
27355Well?
27355Well?
27355Well?
27355Well?
27355Well?
27355Were you, Bud?
27355What about Bloss?
27355What are you doing, Mary? 27355 What are yuh goin''to do now?"
27355What can I do for yuh now I''m here?
27355What d''yuh want to know that for?
27355What did happen, anyhow? 27355 What difference does it make, anyhow?
27355What difference does that make?
27355What do you mean, dear, by-- everything?
27355What do yuh know?
27355What else can I do?
27355What gave you that notion?
27355What happened then? 27355 What have yuh found out?"
27355What in hell''s doing here?
27355What is it, Mary? 27355 What is it?"
27355What is it?
27355What is it?
27355What is it?
27355What of it?
27355What shall I do?
27355What shall I do?
27355What sort of a man was this Thorne?
27355What the deuce is the matter?
27355What the devil are yuh doin''here?
27355What the devil''s he doin''in that greaser eatin''-house?
27355What the dickens are you talking about, anyway?
27355What yuh scowlin''that way for?
27355What''d he say?
27355What''s been done about it?
27355What''s goin''to keep yuh that long?
27355What''s happened to Rick?
27355What''s happened?
27355What''s it all about? 27355 What''s the good?
27355What''s the idea of waking a guy up in the middle of the night?
27355What''s the matter, kid?
27355What''s the matter?
27355What''s the matter?
27355What''s the next move?
27355What''s the use?
27355What''s wrong? 27355 What''s your name?"
27355What''s-- what?
27355What-- er-- particular sort of worry do you mean?
27355What-- what is it?
27355When are they coming back?
27355When are you going to marry me, dear?
27355When they started off did you notice which way they went?
27355When was that?
27355Where did it happen?
27355Where the deuce do you want to ride to?
27355Where the devil have you been?
27355Where''d you learn how?
27355Where''s Lynch and the rest of''em?
27355Where''s he gone?
27355Where''s it to?
27355Where''s that sneaking greaser?
27355Who do you s''pose hid over the harness- room?
27355Who else would be likely to come at this time of night?
27355Who is he?
27355Who the devil are yuh?
27355Who the devil do you mean?
27355Who told you that?
27355Who would?
27355Who''s Rick?
27355Who''s he? 27355 Who''s that with yuh?"
27355Who-- who was it?
27355Who? 27355 Why ai n''t it hers?"
27355Why beat about the bush?
27355Why ca n''t I send Bud out? 27355 Why did n''t they take you along, too?"
27355Why did n''t yuh stop me then? 27355 Why do n''t Lynch just up an''fire you?"
27355Why does n''t he? 27355 Why not?
27355Why not? 27355 Why, you never told me that aboard ship?"
27355Will you be needing the horse sooner?
27355Women?
27355Wonder if that''s the mysterious Tex?
27355Wonder where Hardenberg hangs out?
27355Work it?
27355Would it ease your mind any if we saddled up an''followed the bunch?
27355Would n''t he be wild if he knew he was playing right into my hands?
27355Yes, but what good''ll that do with two able- bodied men set on getting in? 27355 Yes?"
27355Yo''wish zee table, señors?
27355You awake? 27355 You believe it all, of course?"
27355You believe that, too?
27355You can prove all that, of course?
27355You come from Shoe- Bar?
27355You did n''t say--"Did n''t I? 27355 You do n''t mean to say you''ve suspected--?"
27355You do n''t suppose I believe that nonsense, do you?
27355You don''t-- deny it?
27355You mean I''d stand a chance of being taken on?
27355You mean he''d find it easier to get away with cattle if there was n''t anybody around to keep tabs on him?
27355You mean oil wells, and that sort of thing?
27355You mean there were n''t any rustlers at all?
27355You mean to say the whole pasture''s full of it?
27355You mean to say there''s been rustling on the Shoe- Bar?
27355You mean to tell me there''s a-- a-- woman at the Shoe- Bar?
27355You mean you''re a regular cow- boy?
27355You see? 27355 You sure you do n''t know where the bunch went?"
27355You think you''ve turned a smart trick, do n''t you?
27355You were here then, were n''t you? 27355 You would, would n''t you?"
27355You''d like me to start in right away, I suppose? 27355 You''ll promise to be careful, wo n''t you?
27355You''re not trying to make out that you''re the Buck Stratton who owned the Shoe- Bar?
27355You''re sure it happened last night?
27355You''re sure you did n''t leave any trace they could pick up?
27355You''ve had several offers?
27355Yuh hurt any place?
27355Yuh mean the sheriff? 27355 Yuh saw Doc Blanchard, did n''t yuh?"
27355Yuh sure about that, Pop?
27355Yuh would, would yuh?
27355_ Is_ that so?
27355A murder syndicate?"
27355Above all, if fortune proved kind, what would be the character of their discovery?
27355Above all, where was he?
27355And down in her heart even Mary-- But whatever has happened to your face?"
27355And if so, whom had it been intended to deceive?
27355And yet, on second thought, how did they come to be here when they were supposed to be working at the very opposite extremity of the ranch?
27355Anything else you want before I go?"
27355Archer?"
27355As he stood staring at the fellow, there was a stir from further down the room and a sleepy voice growled:"What''s the matter?
27355But even if she is left alone with only Mrs. Archer, yuh ai n''t worryin''about anythin''really happenin''to her, are yuh?
27355But surely this is a waste of time?
27355But what was his object?
27355But when''d he say I''d be on my feet?"
27355But where are you?...
27355But why the devil should we have suspected anythin''?
27355CHAPTER XXV THE TRAP"Yuh out last night?"
27355Ca n''t yuh tell a man?"
27355Can I help you?"
27355Could I see him a minute?"
27355Could he possibly have done such a thing and not remember?
27355Could the foreman''s plotting be for the purpose of forcing her to sell?
27355Darn good stunt to remember, ai n''t it, if a person ever got up against that sort of thing?"
27355Did she want him to remain merely because of the short- handed condition of the ranch, or was there a deeper reason?
27355Did you think for a moment I''d let you take that ride alone?"
27355Does he treat the fellows white, or is he a sneak?"
27355Eef yo''take heem, I am save mooch trouble, eh?"
27355Either of you hurt?"
27355Even if Joe had failed to see his name amongst the missing, what must he have thought of his interminable silence?
27355Favorites, eh?
27355Friend of yores, eh?"
27355Green, did you say?"
27355Green?"
27355Had he really been pleased to find that the new hand was not a friend of Tex Lynch, or was the idea merely a product of Buck''s imagination?
27355Had the whole pursuit been merely in the nature of a bluff?
27355Had those two passed yet, or were they still out there somewhere in the sandy wastes of north pasture?
27355Have n''t you any idea what he''s up to?"
27355Have you noticed anything else particularly-- about Lynch, I mean, or any of the others?"
27355Have yuh got anything on''em?"
27355He seemed to think so, or why had he looked back so searchingly?
27355He told yuh we was after rustlers?"
27355He''ll be slipping down into that gulch one of these days to get rid of it, and when he finds there ai n''t any body-- then what?"
27355He''s to be trusted surely?"
27355How could he, when they left four days ago?"
27355How long has she-- er-- owned the Shoe- Bar?"
27355How long will it take that doctor man to get over?"
27355How long''s this rustling been going on?"
27355How-- how did it happen?"
27355Huh?"
27355I hate to leave Bud, but he''s so plumb set on--""But what''s it all about?"
27355I mean, like the two punchers who were killed later on?"
27355I wonder if it can possibly be just nerves?
27355I wonder what they''re up to?"
27355I wonder why?"
27355I would n''t be in yore shoes for no money when Tex comes around an''remembers what yuh done?"
27355I would n''t of thought Miss Mary was the kind to--""Where''s-- er-- Miss Manning?"
27355I''d dream-- If he''s going to-- to die, as you say, why not just-- leave him here?"
27355I''ve overheard things now an''then I could n''t make head or tail of, but they''re up to somethin''--Yuh ai n''t goin'', are yuh?"
27355If Lynch failed her, what could she do?
27355If she could reach it, might there not possibly be some spot in all that jumble of rocks and gullies where she at least might hide?
27355Is he hard to get on the right side of?"
27355Is it much further off?"
27355Is there anything particular up that way?"
27355It ai n''t any secret, is it?
27355It ai n''t time to get up yet, is it?"
27355It''ll be darn lonesome, an''all that, but Lynch an''the whole gang has beat it--""How do we know where they have gone?"
27355Like as not he''d hang on long enough to blab all he knows, an''then where would we be?
27355Oh, how could Dad ever have done such an awful thing?
27355Or would fate thrust another unexpected obstacle in their way?
27355Pretty cute, was n''t it?"
27355Recollect, Gabby said he was small, with black hair an''eyes close together?"
27355Sabe?"
27355Say, was there a guy hangin''around outside when yuh came in-- short, with black hair an''eyes set close together?"
27355She did not see how such a ghastly horror could be possible; but then, what did she know of conditions in the place to which he was taking her?
27355She''s told yuh he ca n''t get men, mebbe?
27355Should she cry out?
27355Stranger around these parts, ai n''t yuh?"
27355Tex?
27355That is-- You are a cow- puncher, are n''t you?"
27355That scoundrel been selling licker again?"
27355That would mean that Miss Thorne would be there alone?"
27355The foreman?"
27355The nearest fields are hundreds of miles away, ai n''t they?"
27355The''phone''s still working, is n''t it?"
27355Them two deaths-- Say, Tex ai n''t in town with yuh, is he?"
27355There''s nothing unlucky about Thursday, is there?"
27355They were ahead of him, then; but how far?
27355Was it merely a bit of rough but harmless horse- play or had it a deeper meaning?
27355Was it possible?
27355Was it the man really coming?
27355Was she afraid of him?
27355Was the horse a bad one?"
27355Was there a touch of meaning in the last two words?
27355Was there anything back of the ranch- owner''s tragic death save simple accident?
27355Was there anything queer about it?
27355Was there anything said about the way he meant to take?"
27355Well, what do you want me to do?"
27355Were they going to find out something definite at last?
27355What Will People Say?
27355What are you going to do about the stock?"
27355What could he possibly hope to gain by such a thing?
27355What did it mean?
27355What do you know about that?
27355What else can I do but let you go?
27355What gave yuh the notion, old- timer?"
27355What had Bloss done when the break came?
27355What had he been doing ever since?
27355What if he could do the thing he said?
27355What kind of a foreman is it who''ll lose over a thousand head without stoppin''the stealin''?
27355What news?"
27355What sort of a fellow is this Tenny, over at the Rocking- R?"
27355What the devil am I up against, anyhow?
27355What the devil are they doing out this time of night?"
27355What the devil are you doing in that bunk?"
27355What was there about a spot like that to rouse excitement in the breast of the usually phlegmatic Andrew Thorne?
27355What was yuh thinkin''of-- bracin''him for a job?"
27355What was_ he_ doing here on a Rocking- R horse?
27355What were they doing here?
27355What were they talking about so continually?
27355What''s happened?
27355What''s happened?"
27355What''s his excuse for holding off?"
27355What''s the World Coming To?
27355What''s the idea, anyhow?"
27355What''s to prevent one or more of''em circling back by the southeast?
27355What''s up, Buck?
27355What''s up, anyhow?"
27355What-- what is it?"
27355What--?"
27355What?....
27355When are yuh goin''to spring it on''em?"
27355When we heard the shots-- What_ did_ happen to Rick, Slim?
27355Where do we hit this trail you were telling me about?"
27355Where had the interval been passed, and how?
27355Where had the outlaws gone, and why had n''t they been pursued further?
27355Where is he now?"
27355Where were they going?
27355Where would we be even if somebody run acrost his body?
27355Where''ve yuh worked?"
27355Whereabouts is a bunk I can stake my claim to?"
27355Who else is on the outs with him?"
27355Who were they?
27355Whom could she turn to for help or even for counsel?
27355Why do n''t you answer?
27355Why had he been in such haste to drag Lynch thither, and what had passed between the two before the older man came to his sudden and tragic end?
27355Why had n''t he asked the question outright?
27355Why not?
27355Why should I waste time tellin''yuh?"
27355Why would they want to do that?"
27355Why?"
27355Yes, do come quickly.... What''s that?"
27355You have no idea which way they went?"
27355You mean a-- a Rocking- R cayuse?"
27355You''ll be at the United States Hotel, I suppose?
27355You''re dead sure about that oil?"
27355You''re not nervous, are you?
27355Yuh ai n''t no deputy sheriff, or anythin''like that, are yuh?"
27355Yuh ai n''t thinkin''of gettin a job out there, are yuh?"
27355Yuh go see Jim Tenny an''tell him--""What''s the matter with the Shoe- Bar?"
27355Yuh know him well?"
27355Yuh thinkin''of riding all the way?"
27355Yuh want he should get the idea I hired yuh?"
29028A mad''mo''selle?
29028After twenty years? 29028 Am I not serving you?"
29028Am I not worth a man''s life?
29028An she expects me to tell her?
29028And Avalon-- where is that? 29028 And Snake Murphy: he used to keep the road house at the ford over the river, did n''t he?"
29028And before the_ Légion_, what? 29028 And did you recognize him that time he came-- when you played that little-- joke-- upon me?"
29028And if I marry you, I will be deputized to do the butchery?
29028And is it true, Morgan_ la fée_,he asked, ducking his head,"that this man has been married to you?"
29028And leave me still married?
29028And madame? 29028 And not fer French Pete''s mine?"
29028And what,said De Launay,"is this thing that one must do to help you?"
29028And you-- brought me here?
29028And your fortune, which is on deposit here?
29028And, after all this,she said wearily, at last,"you descend-- to this?
29028And, if not for money, for a woman-- one of that kind of woman-- they would shoot a man?
29028Any cow hands out of a job around here?
29028Are you riding easy?
29028Are you satisfied, monsieur?
29028Bad?
29028Banker''s claim? 29028 Be you the feller?"
29028Better turn back?
29028But he ai n''t noways a regular, honest- to- God husband, is he?
29028But how can we take him?
29028But how the deuce will you get them there? 29028 But if not a white man who would have done it?"
29028But it is here that these desperate men who will kill may be found, is it not?
29028But what note?
29028But what?
29028But yuh been to see her? 29028 But-- if it has been found, that is good news?
29028By Banker? 29028 Dave, where''s Marian Pettis?"
29028Dave? 29028 De Launay?
29028De Launay?
29028Did you find him, monsieur?
29028Do you know any one in America?
29028Got who?
29028Has n''t Sucatash given you that note?
29028He was a bad man, then?
29028He was a dangerous man, you say?
29028He would expect to be paid?
29028He? 29028 Hey, De Launay?"
29028His Christian name?
29028His gal? 29028 How can I help solve it?"
29028How come?
29028How''d you make it, old- timer?
29028How?
29028Howzzat?
29028Huh? 29028 I?"
29028If I am to marry you, is it to be sight unseen?
29028If it is right, why does she delay all these years?
29028If they made''em like her----"Why do n''t you go back and find her?
29028Ike Brandon?
29028In a mining camp, one would suppose that the men, as you have said, are violent and fierce?
29028In cold blood, you say? 29028 Insultin''Lizzie Lewis?"
29028Is it monsieur that I have to thank for-- these?
29028Is it that I am honored by having this mercenary drunkard for a husband?
29028Is that all?
29028Is that all?
29028Is that it?
29028Is that not enough?
29028Is the charge serious?
29028Is this what one calls a marriage? 29028 It is necessary, I presume, that one have a purpose and make it known?"
29028It''s French Pete''s mine?
29028Jump the claim? 29028 Just what did he tell you?"
29028Kill who?
29028Lamp de guys wit''de French heels an''de one wit''de sissy eyebrow on''is lip, would youse? 29028 Le Général de Launay, is it not?
29028Looks like he had some reason better than shooting you up to keep going and never come back, do n''t it?
29028Mademoiselle jests, of course?
29028Mademoiselle seeks me? 29028 Marriage; a family?"
29028May I ask,she said, with some contrition roused by his care of her,"where you are going?"
29028Me?
29028Miss Pettis, can you explain to him? 29028 Monsieur Banker,"she said,"it is true that you have known this man who killed my father-- this Louisiana?"
29028Monsieur has heard the name?
29028Monsieur was about to say?
29028Monsieur, you are my friend?
29028Monsieur?
29028Morgan-- what the deuce are you talking about?
29028None o''you- all seen anythin''of Louisiana driftin''up this a way?
29028Nor do you, mademoiselle?
29028Not for that?
29028Old Jim Banker? 29028 Ore?"
29028Perhaps he covered it up?
29028Pete''s rifle with him?
29028Philanthropy-- service?
29028Prospector?
29028Reckon he beefed Dave?
29028Remember the feller''s singin'', Jim?
29028Said-- said what? 29028 Say, mad''mo''selle,"he said,"this here De Launay, now; he''s sure enough your husband?"
29028Seen an escaped prisoner? 29028 She ai n''t goin''to turn back, so what can we do?"
29028She''s got Ike Brandon''s letters, ai n''t she? 29028 Shot him?
29028Snake, d''yuh think old Ike Brandon did n''t know where the mine was?
29028Tell you? 29028 That fellow has got a lot comin''to him, ai n''t he?"
29028That his health was due to his uncleanliness? 29028 That old natural?
29028That you, Monsieur David?
29028That''s what I''m askin''yuh? 29028 The Basco?
29028Then what you need is an object?
29028Then,said mademoiselle in a tired voice,"you have decided that you will go?"
29028Then,she said, at last,"it is not likely that this Monsieur Banker would acknowledge my claim to the mine?"
29028Then-- will you take this pistol, and kill that man for me?
29028These men would kill, you say, for money?
29028They have hurt you?
29028Think yuh can bluff me when I''m a- facin''yuh? 29028 To Twin Forks?"
29028Traded it?
29028Unless what?
29028W''at''s that about mines-- an''French Pete? 29028 Wallace''s ranch, you mean, do n''t you?"
29028Was it yours?
29028Well, how old was he at this time?
29028Well? 29028 Well?"
29028Well?
29028Were you here when my father was killed?
29028Wh- what fer?
29028What are you drivin''at, ma''am?
29028What became of his granddaughter?
29028What do you wish?
29028What do you wish?
29028What happened to you, man?
29028What have you to say before I kill you?
29028What if you have decided to leave the army-- which is your intention, I take it? 29028 What is it that you mean, Monsieur Sucatash?"
29028What is it, messieurs?
29028What is it,_ mon ami_?
29028What is it?
29028What is the matter?
29028What is this?
29028What kind of man was this-- this Louisiana?
29028What on earth did he tell you?
29028What purpose is there for me?
29028What was it you wanted, ma''am?
29028What would you expect of a légionnaire?
29028What you all reckon that old horned toad is a- doin''here?
29028What''ll it be?
29028What''s he done?
29028What''s he drivin''at?
29028What''s it you want, ma''am, and what you goin''to pay fer it?
29028What''s that? 29028 What''s the answer?
29028What''s the answer?
29028What''s the big idea?
29028What''s the matter, Solange? 29028 What''s the one thing?"
29028What''s wanted?
29028What?
29028Whatever brings this dame clear over from France to look for a mine after twenty years? 29028 Whatever starts this hostile play?"
29028When did you lick Hindenburg?
29028When was that?
29028When will you come?
29028Where do you get off under those circumstances? 29028 Where is Monsieur Dave?"
29028Where you aimin''to camp, ma''am?
29028Which way did he go?
29028Who d''you want scragged?
29028Who done it?
29028Who plays the rôle of the Danish Paladin?
29028Who''s Wilding?
29028Who''s that?
29028Why do you wear that veil?
29028Why is he frightened? 29028 Why not, madame?"
29028Why not?
29028Why too bad?
29028Why, what is the matter?
29028Why,he said,"it makes no difference, does it, dear?"
29028Why-- why did you come?
29028Why?
29028Will you kill him, monsieur? 29028 Will you saddle my horse for me, monsieur?"
29028Will you serve me?
29028Will you sit down?
29028With hydrophobia?
29028Work?
29028Yeah?
29028Yes-- but who is Louisiana? 29028 You ai n''t a- goin''tell old Jim?
29028You aimin''to hire any riders?
29028You are better?
29028You are the man with the dogs?
29028You desire to find the mine-- or to kill the man?
29028You done a little more''n café fightin''though, to get that?
29028You expect to find the mine and the man, after nineteen years?
29028You found a lot of gold and half is mine and Marian''s, while the rest goes to your folks? 29028 You found gold, is that what you''re telling me?
29028You gents want me?
29028You got a warrant for my arrest?
29028You got money, ma''am?
29028You knew my father? 29028 You knew the old- timers, then?"
29028You knowed my old man?
29028You pickin''Louisiana? 29028 You pointing that gun at me?
29028You remember French Pete, who was killed back in nineteen hundred?
29028You say Ike Brandon''s dead?
29028You say Jim Banker says he saw him?
29028You say that Doolittle gave you your information?
29028You talking French or English?
29028You will be careful of that crazy old man?
29028You''ll come back?
29028You''ll stay the night?
29028You''ve lived here since before the Falls was built, have n''t you, Murphy?
29028You- all been to France?
29028Your father?
29028Yuh reckon Ike would have lived and died pore as a heifer after a hard winter if he''d a knowed? 29028 Yuh reckon if I knowed where it was I would n''t have staked it long ago?
29028_ If_ he did? 29028 _ Mon amie_, is it this old devil who has injured you?"
29028_ Why_ do n''t you wish it?
29028Again, why De Launay?
29028Ai n''t that right?"
29028Aimin''to answer sick call?"
29028Also-- there is Ogier?"
29028And Banker, what''s he doing shooting at me?"
29028And how would I know that you had freed me if you left me behind?"
29028And if, faced with the facts, she drew back, what reproach would she always visit upon herself for her weakness?
29028And is there a charge against the woman, my general?"
29028And the remuneration?"
29028And then left you to lie there?"
29028And what of this Banker?"
29028And who''s this Delonny guy she''s bringin''with her?
29028And why not?
29028And why should I work, otherwise?
29028Are there any more old- timers left hereaways?"
29028As for the love that is said to mitigate that relation, am I the sort of man a woman would care for?"
29028Been marked any?"
29028Besides, am I not to meet my husband on this Shoestring Canyon where we must first go?"
29028But did you or any one else ever know what language them Bascos talks?"
29028But it makes the soldiers call me----""Morgan_ la fée_?"
29028But what is my exact part in the adventure?"
29028But what''s happened to you?"
29028But where would Pete find a mine when he was returning to the ranch with his flock?
29028But why had he not?
29028But would there be any record of it in that town?
29028But you will let us have the dogs that we may take Monsieur de Launay to the hospital?
29028Can you not search the records to find out what is known of my father''s death and who killed him?"
29028Can you ride?"
29028Course, he might have got hold of Pete''s gun and used that, but if he did how come that Pete do n''t know who kills him?
29028D''jever hear a purtier voice?"
29028D''you reckon that any one in their sober senses would squander money on a thing like that if they did n''t have some inside info as to where to look?
29028D''you think she''d wait and remember me that long?
29028Did n''t I?"
29028Did you- all see it?"
29028Do you think you can get along all right if I leave food for you here and go down to the camp?
29028Ever hear what became of him?"
29028Got anything to drink?
29028Have you that bullet, mademoiselle?"
29028He and Jim Banker were partners, were n''t they?"
29028He murdered your father?"
29028He told her where it was, did n''t he?
29028He was not an enemy of my father?"
29028He writ a paper before he died, they say, and I reckon he writ on that paper where the gold was, did n''t he?"
29028Here, tell me what has happened?"
29028How about it?"
29028How am I to secure passage to America?"
29028How old were you when your father was killed?"
29028How''s she goin''to find it?
29028I do not know how to say it?"
29028I got a reminder, hain''t I?
29028If Pierre d''Albret was shot for no reason, what is to prevent us, who are also Basques, from being treated in the same way?"
29028If he_ didn''t_--who did?"
29028If she found the man, by some freak of chance, what would she do with him?
29028If that ai n''t right why ever does this Basco lady come a- runnin''out here?"
29028If this was the vanguard what would be the main body?
29028Is he wrong in that, also?"
29028Is it not true that you intend to return to America?"
29028Is it that you are grieved because it has been found?"
29028Is it that you have exhausted yourself in the effort that went before?"
29028Is that what you''re thinking?"
29028Is there anything in that?"
29028Is this a pretty bad actor?"
29028It is necessary that I get to America, to a place called Eo- dah- o-- is it not?
29028It is reasonable to suppose, therefore, that the affair has been arranged to hide something, is it not?"
29028It is what you call a-- a hunch, is it not?"
29028Kiss me good- by, like a nice sweetheart and just dream once in a while of Louisiana, wo n''t you?"
29028Know him?"
29028Know how he''ll do it?"
29028Know where it is?"
29028Mademoiselle would go to Idaho, and for what purpose?"
29028Mademoiselle, what do you seek in Twin Forks and from old Ike Brandon?"
29028May I keep this?"
29028Me, Morgan_ la fée_, espouse one of these roistering, cursing foreigners?
29028Now, why should this Banker be so persistent when others have abandoned the search long ago?"
29028Now, you''re sure Louisiana did this and that he left the country?
29028Old- timer, is he?"
29028Rather is it that such a marriage indicates that a marriage was necessary-- and arranged conveniently, is it not?
29028Say, feller, what you givin''me?"
29028Shall I lift my hand, mademoiselle, with that understanding?"
29028Shall I tell her, and the others, who killed French Pete nineteen years ago?"
29028She all right?"
29028She''s the daughter of that French Pete that was killed----""Hey?"
29028Should he tell her that the murderer of her father was discovered?
29028Snow ai n''t so bad-- but----""But what?"
29028Surely there are officers, gentlemen, distinguished, whom one of your charms might win?"
29028That looks reasonable, do n''t it?"
29028That''s it, ai n''t it?"
29028The General de Launay you have heard of, I think?"
29028Then I am employed to go with you on this search?
29028Then he had no provocation?
29028Then you must know?"
29028Then:"What''s that?
29028This General de Launay, would he consider such employment, do you think?"
29028This was in 1900, you say?"
29028W''at''s the matter with everything to- day?
29028Was I here?
29028Was he the gent you was lookin''for?"
29028Was n''t there a horse here a minute ago?"
29028Well, how''s this here Basco lady with the enchantin''ways allow she''s goin''to find Pete''s mine?"
29028Well, what is the answer?"
29028What could he have found?"
29028What do you mean by holding up a peaceable man on the highroads?"
29028What does she wear a veil for?
29028What good would it do?
29028What had they to do with the West?
29028What has happened?"
29028What is that?"
29028What next?
29028What she say about it?"
29028What was he like?"
29028What were policemen doing in this country of range and sheriffs?
29028What''ll I do with it?
29028What''ll you pay, ma''am?"
29028What''s happened?
29028What''s she comin''to me fer?
29028What''s that?
29028What''s that?
29028What''s that?"
29028Whatever makes you say that?
29028Where did he go?
29028Where is Avalon and what other names have you?
29028Where is the place that you go to in America?"
29028Where''s the boys?
29028Where''s your extradition papers?"
29028Where?"
29028Who shot a Savage.303, nineteen years ago, and who shoots that same rifle to- day?"
29028Who''s singin''?"
29028Why do n''t she show her face?
29028Why do you look so grim, monsieur?
29028Why should I not waste the rest of my time?"
29028Why tell her about it?
29028Will they not, Monsieur Sucatash?"
29028Will you be all right if I leave you for a few hours?"
29028Will you come?"
29028Will you sign it?"
29028Yet who has ever found such indications?"
29028You are Louisiana?"
29028You brought me here?"
29028You got a bunk house here where we can hole up for the night?"
29028You remember those stakes we saw?"
29028You weel find heem?"
29028You will lift your veil?"
29028You''ll tell old Jim, wo n''t you?"
29028Yuh reckon she comes pirootin''out here all the way from Basco regions just on the hunch that she can shut her eyes an''walk to it?"

33409And what be those critturs you are picturing, Friend Ralston?
33409Are you glad or sorry over something?
33409Are you sick, girl?
33409Are you sure, Jack, that you explained to her about me? 33409 Bear it?"
33409But how, Jim?
33409But if Laska and Josef come back for me?
33409But you can advertise for him, ca n''t you, Jim?
33409Ca n''t you find Olive, Jim?
33409Ca n''t you see that it is selfish of you to refuse to go with us to try to find out about Olilie? 33409 Can I do anything for you, ma''am?"
33409Can you bear it, girl?
33409Can you tell me where to find the home of Laska?
33409Did any of you feel a bit of a shock, say like an earthquake, a few minutes back? 33409 Did anybody ever see such riding before?"
33409Did you think we no find you? 33409 Did you think we were giving a party?"
33409Do let''s wait a little while longer?
33409Do n''t you think I might tell you my name at least?
33409Do n''t you think maybe it would?
33409Do n''t you think you could come home to the ranch with us, until you feel better and can tell us what troubles you? 33409 Do n''t you wish we could spend this whole day out of doors, Jean?"
33409Do you suppose Jim could meet Cousin Ruth without me?
33409Do you think I have got time to waste while you talk to Jack Ralston all day? 33409 Do you think it would be wrong if we should go for a little run across the prairies?
33409Do you think she is going to find us so very dreadful?
33409Do you think she will laugh at us, Jack?
33409Do you think that you are the only member of Rainbow Ranch who has any business head? 33409 Do you want to leave a message for one of the girls or to speak to Aunt Ellen or Zack?"
33409Does n''t any one know how to set a pony''s leg?
33409Found what?
33409Frieda, what''s the matter? 33409 Has anything happened, Jack?"
33409Has n''t she spoken yet?
33409Has n''t the ride been just too beautiful?
33409Has the Indian woman been here to inquire for her daughter? 33409 Have n''t you made enough trouble for yourself and other people already to- day, Jack?"
33409Have you gotten your lessons, Frieda?
33409Home? 33409 How dare you thrust your way in here?
33409How did you come here?
33409How did you know, Aunt Sallie? 33409 How is our dear lady cousin going to get over to the ranch?"
33409How is the wounded member?
33409I do n''t know, Jean Bruce, what is it now?
33409I shall be horribly stupid and nervous, Mr. Colter,Ruth protested,"but if you are sure you wo n''t mind the trouble?"
33409I wonder what brings him up to the ranch house to- night? 33409 I wonder where on earth I am?
33409If Mr. Norton brings suit and makes us leave our ranch in January, what can we do? 33409 If a body meet a body, Comin''through the rye; If a body kiss a body, Need a body cry?
33409If three fifths of a number is fifteen, what is the number?
33409Is n''t it great to be at home, children?
33409Is something wrong ahead on the track?
33409Is the carriage waiting for us in the town?
33409It is n''t true though, Jim, is it?
33409It looks rather like we might have a rainbow after the summer shower: do n''t you think so, Olive?
33409JACK, do n''t you think we are going too near the corrals?
33409JACK, how are we ever going to quit using slang?
33409Jack,she asked more sympathetically,"is Cousin Ruth horribly old?"
33409Jacqueline Ralston,she inquired coolly,"has it ever occurred to you, that you are a very hard- headed and selfish person?"
33409Jean, Harry, would n''t it be a glorious night for a ride?
33409Jean, you are lazy; why did n''t you mend it yourself?
33409Jim, what''s up? 33409 Just keep this for me, will you, Miss Ralston?"
33409Known what?
33409Look here, Jack,he said,"was n''t it you who asked your cousin to come out here to live with you, so as to have some one to tell you what was right?
33409Look here, Miss Bruce, I know I am a tenderfoot, but do you think we ought to go into these woods at night? 33409 May I come in, Miss Ralston?"
33409May I get off at the station myself, please?
33409May I look at it, dear?
33409May I stay with you until your escort joins you, Miss Ralston?
33409May we interrupt the school a minute, please?
33409Miss Drew,he whispered,"will you be good enough not to let Olive go away from the ranch alone?
33409Miss Ralston, is it?
33409Oh, Cousin Ruth, wo n''t Olive come back ever? 33409 Oh, what is it?"
33409Olilie is not Laska''s child, is she? 33409 Olive,"she asked gently,"do you think you could be happy if you came to live with us at the ranch?
33409Only if anything should develop, you will be sure to tell me about it, wo n''t you?
33409Please tell me, are you Rosalind in the forest of Arden? 33409 Pretty good day''s work for us, boss?"
33409Shall I go to Laramie to- morrow and order out a chaperon, Miss Ralston?
33409Shall I tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, Aunt Sallie?
33409Sure you know how to get to your friends from here?
33409Teach Laura to ride?
33409The number is fifteen, is n''t it Olive? 33409 Their ranch, did you say?
33409Then there was an Indian girl all the time?
33409Then you do n''t think I am an Indian girl?
33409This girl has been brought up among white people, has n''t she, Frieda?
33409Was it an earthquake, Jim?
33409Was the figure on horseback a girl?
33409We do n''t have to tell Jean and Frieda yet, do we, Jim?
33409We have made up our minds to it, have n''t we? 33409 Well, Jim, do n''t you think it would be a good scheme for us to look up this court record?"
33409Well, go on, tell us how your miracle happened?
33409Well, have you found a friend to help me?
33409What are you doing, Jack, want me to help you?
33409What are you doing? 33409 What are you so mysterious about?"
33409What can we do?
33409What did you hear next?
33409What do you mean?
33409What has happened, imp?
33409What has happened? 33409 What has kept you so long?"
33409What in the world are you girls doing here?
33409What in the world are you up to, Jacqueline Ralston?
33409What in the world has happened to you, child? 33409 What is it you would do?"
33409What is it, dear? 33409 What is it?"
33409What is the matter with you, Jacqueline Ralston?
33409What on earth are those creatures?
33409What on earth is all this pow- wow about?
33409What on earth is the matter with you, Frank, Mr. Kent, I mean?
33409What was it you had to show me?
33409What was that?
33409What''s the matter, Jack?
33409What''s the matter, baby?
33409What''s the trouble, Olive?
33409What''s the use of telling you all this? 33409 When will Jack and Jim come back?"
33409Where did you ever find these old things and what do we want with them anyhow?
33409Where in the world have you been? 33409 Where is Olive?"
33409Who are you trying to get rid of, at present?
33409Who goes there?
33409Who would have thought of meeting a girl in these woods? 33409 Who would have thought we could have had such luck?
33409Why should I spy on you?
33409Why should we go to the village, Jean?
33409Will you be good enough to tell me how I can get over to the Rainbow Ranch? 33409 Will you please go away?"
33409Wo n''t you come in and fix it for me, please? 33409 Wo n''t you come in here?"
33409Wo n''t you kiss me, Jean?
33409Wo n''t you let me come in, Jack?
33409Wo n''t you let me thank you for keeping me here and let me tell you why I ran away?
33409Wo n''t you please slow down a little? 33409 Wo n''t you tell me something more about your home in England?
33409Wo n''t you tell me?
33409Wo n''t you? 33409 Wonder what old Jim and Jack are up to?"
33409Would n''t it be too funny if old Jim should fall in love with Cousin Ruth?
33409You are hurt, are n''t you, Miss Ralston?
33409You are not angry at the scolding I gave you last night, are you? 33409 You are well now, are n''t you?"
33409You have a piece of news for me, have n''t you, Jack?
33409You have brought me to the railroad track, but where is the station? 33409 You mean an engine and a railroad track, do n''t you, Little Brother?"
33409You mean you must shoot him, do n''t you, Harry?
33409You mean, Jim, that you think we had better go on and have a chaperon, just as we planned, as though there was no danger of our losing the ranch?
33409You want me to live with you like one of you?
33409You will let me show you the right trail, wo n''t you?
33409You wo n''t be cross about something if I tell you, will you?
33409You wo n''t mind if I am away from the ranch all day to- day, Cousin Ruth?
33409Ai n''t things often revealed unto babes that are hid from the rest of us?"
33409Already had Laska come to take her home?
33409And what will Cousin Ruth say about Jim''s grammar?
33409And what would Laura and Mrs. Post think of them?
33409Are n''t you Frank Kent, the English fellow who is the guest of the Nortons?
33409Be they mules or buffaloes?"
33409But I wonder who she is?
33409But can you show me the trail to the Rainbow Ranch?
33409But did n''t you and Jean have something on your minds that you meant to ask me about?
33409But may I be of any service to you?"
33409But the question with me is, how am I ever going to live until then?"
33409But wo n''t Jean and Frieda be frightened?
33409Ca n''t you get hold of that?"
33409Ca n''t you?"
33409Colter?"
33409Could it have fallen an inch in such a little while?
33409Did n''t we hear you call?"
33409Do n''t you think you could return; or is there anything we could do for you?"
33409Do n''t you think you might tell me a thing or two about it?
33409Do you hear me, or is it that you have changed your mind like all women and do not now wish to go?"
33409Do you think Aunt Ellen could mend this for me before we go?"
33409Do you think we will be able to endure it?"
33409For goodness sake, wo n''t you teach Cousin Ruth to ride?
33409Frieda wanted to help, but what could she do?
33409Funny, is n''t it?"
33409Gee, they are stunning- looking fellows, are n''t they?
33409Had she traveled across the continent to a wild Western town to find no one to meet her?
33409Have you any idea who is responsible for the trouble?"
33409He is somewhere around, wo n''t you find him?"
33409How could she have turned her back on dear New England villages, with their sleepy, green and white homesteads and trim gardens, for this vast desert?
33409How could you have come to congratulate us at just the right moment?"
33409How dared he speak in that calm and self- assured fashion of some day taking possession of their own beloved Rainbow Ranch?
33409How far is it to the ranch?"
33409How in the world would he be able to connect with her?
33409I am their cousin--""Not Ruth?"
33409I do n''t know anything about your quarrel and if we were properly introduced, do n''t you think we could be friends?
33409I know I did very wrong and I''m sorry; wo n''t you please let me explain better in the morning?"
33409I thought I heard you talking to Dan, when I rode up to you, but that wo n''t matter about me, will it?
33409I wonder if he ever had a tragic love affair?"
33409I wonder if we are too much like boys?"
33409Is n''t it splendid that old Laska and Josef have left us in peace?
33409Is one of you hurt?
33409Is that the horse you mean me to use now, Jim?"
33409It was n''t true, was it?
33409Jean went over and pulling Frieda''s hair said:"Since when, Frieda Ralston, have you developed into a student?
33409Oh, Frieda darling, has n''t Aunt Ellen saved me anything to eat?
33409Poaching?
33409Remember the game we used to play with a bit of paper, when you were a little girl, Jack,''Fly away Peter, Come back Paul''?
33409Ruth opened her eyes; what had made her traveling companions''faces brighten with interest?
33409She did feel it would be too hateful of her to laugh out loud, yet how could she help it?
33409She is coming back home with us, is n''t she?"
33409She knew that Jim was troubled about something; had the ranch girls any right to offer a home to any one when their own future was so uncertain?
33409She remembered this other face faintly, but where and when had she seen it?
33409Some day we will bring suit and just take possession of their place; wo n''t it be corking?
33409Tell us why you ran away?
33409Unless they left the cañon pretty soon, Jack knew they would never get home in time; yet what could they do with Frieda''s Indian girl?
33409Was it Jean or Jack?
33409Was it because they had no mother that neither of them had thought?
33409Was she actually arriving in the neighborhood of Rainbow Ranch?
33409We never say die, do we, Jim?
33409Were there people in the world idiotic enough to think there was beauty in the western prairies?
33409What Indian chief has ever obeyed a woman?
33409What did it matter if she had not caught Olilie?
33409What did the old woman mean?"
33409What difference can it make to us, whether this Frank Kent is a lord or a prizefighter?
33409What do you mean by trespassing on my land?"
33409What girl ever has understood anything about engineering?
33409What has happened?"
33409What have I been doing these last few days but looking up that very record of the sale of Rainbow Ranch to John Ralston, Esq.?
33409What in the world had he said?
33409What is it you have to tell me?
33409What must she say?
33409What need was there of locking people either out or in, in this great open western land?
33409What on the face of the green earth were they to do?
33409What use was money to her in this wild land?
33409What was his name?"
33409What was to become of Frieda, Jean and Jack, in case they were forced to give up their home at the beginning of the New Year?
33409What would Aunt Sallie and Mr. Simpson say?
33409Whatever are you doing here?
33409When did you begin to worry about clothes?
33409Where are the other girls?"
33409Where are you going?"
33409Where was you expecting to spend to- day?"
33409Where will we go?
33409Who knows what may happen in two months?"
33409Why should I?"
33409Will you come along?"
33409Will you please show me the trail?"
33409Will you please show me the way to the Rainbow Ranch?"
33409Wo n''t you come over to Mrs. Simpson with me?
33409Would you care to come with us?"
33409Would you mind telling me where this train is going?"
33409You can kind of see that old man Norton has got us in a tight place, ca n''t you, Jack?"
33409You did n''t think to look among father''s books for a stray paper, did you, Jean?"
33409You understand, do n''t you?"
33409You wo n''t mind, will you, if I go away for a while?
33409[ Illustration:"CAN I DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, MA''AM?"]

20418And the stone?
20418And there was an Indian encampment a few yards down the road?
20418And was my little Eric at the hunt, and did he shoot an arrow all by himself?
20418And what are the capers of this, my beast, compared to the antics of fate, Sir Priest?
20418And what did I say about Frances?
20418And where do you go?
20418And why is that tent apart from the rest and who is in it?
20418And womankind?
20418And you forgive all? 20418 And you''re quite sure she is n''t in the house?"
20418And----"And what?
20418Are n''t you coming? 20418 Are there no dark halls in there, unsafe for you?"
20418Are they with you? 20418 Are they with you?"
20418Are those buffalo, Black Cat?
20418Are ye Rufus Gillespie?
20418Are you Gillespie?
20418Are you among the prophets?
20418Are you cold, now?
20418Are you hurt, and at such a time?
20418Are you ill, man?
20418Are you men back? 20418 Are you men looking for trouble?"
20418Are you mooning after the Little Statue already?
20418Are you possessed?
20418Are you sure you''ll be safe?
20418Are you sure you''re safe?
20418Are you there?
20418Are you tired, Frances?
20418Are-- they-- with-- you?
20418Art satisfied?
20418Aye-- is it Frances y''r speerin''after?
20418Bad men?
20418Bag him, eh?
20418Be still-- you what?
20418Because they saw you with me?
20418Because----"Because what?
20418Burning hay- ricks?
20418But it did n''t succeed?
20418But the Citadel paper?
20418But the road, Eric?
20418By Jove, Hamilton, we need it, do n''t we?
20418Call that hard luck?
20418Certainly we are, but get this truck to higher ground, will you?
20418Colin Robertson-- the Nor''-Wester?
20418Could n''t they have gone down the road to those Indian encampments?
20418Crying?
20418Dear love-- wherever are you?
20418Did I rive ye sore, lad?
20418Did I strike somebody? 20418 Did I strike somebody?"
20418Did that spring up all of a sudden?
20418Did the little wifie let him off for a night''s play?
20418Did they torture you?
20418Did ye ever-- did ever ye see such a little termagant, such a persuasive, commanding little queen of a termagant?
20418Did you really expect him back alive from the Bloods?
20418Do I?
20418Do my eyes tell lies? 20418 Do n''t you know?"
20418Do you find the way very far-- Frances?
20418Do you know where he is?
20418Do you need to ask with such a galaxy of nut- brown maidens?
20418Do you really mean it? 20418 Do you really want to know how?"
20418Do you think the_ Bois- Brulés_ would plunder your boats?
20418Do-- with-- him?
20418Do_ I_ scent matrimony?
20418Eagles, are they?
20418Eh?
20418Eric Hamilton, are you mad?
20418Faith, now, what might they all be doing with stars for diadems? 20418 For anything else?"
20418For the trial of cases occurring?
20418Friend, or foe?
20418From whom?
20418Game scarce on MacKenzie River?
20418Gillespie, man, what''s wrong? 20418 Had him in your power-- knew what he''d done-- and-- and-- didn''t?"
20418Hang it,drawled Colonel Adderly, a squatty man with an over- fed look on his bulging, red cheeks,"hang it, you do n''t expect Hamilton?
20418Has any one seen Eric Hamilton?
20418Has your Lordship some colonization scheme that you ask such pointed questions?
20418Have I been here for months?
20418Have n''t many brethren come from the same tribe more like warped branches than men? 20418 Have the Indians passed, or are they to come?"
20418Have they been making ladders?
20418Have ye as much as got a glint of her eye to- day?
20418Have ye no seen Frances?
20418Have you-- oh-- have you?
20418He is coming?
20418He''d let you hear about it to all eternity, too, would n''t he?
20418Help you up?
20418Hoo are ye, gillie?
20418Hoo are ye, gillie?
20418How are you going to get''em to her?
20418How can I, Louis Laplante, son of a seigneur, strike a man who wo n''t hit back?
20418How could we know that Selkirk would purchase controlling interest in Hudson''s Bay stock? 20418 How did you reach Fort Gibraltar?"
20418How do you know he''s a spy?
20418How do you know?
20418How far,I began, with a curious inability to use my wits and tongue,"how far-- I mean how long have I been asleep, sir?"
20418How stands the hour- glass?
20418How strong are the Mandanes?
20418How''s the cold in your head?
20418Hudson''s Bay been tampering with your Indians? 20418 Hudson''s Bay, or Nor''-Wester?"
20418I beg your pardon, gentlemen,said I,"what were you saying to Colonel Adderly?"
20418I have had?
20418I say,called one, who had been dazed by the splendor,"how do you tell which is the lookin''glass and which is the window?"
20418I say,exclaimed a man joining the group,"d''y''hear the news?
20418If you meant to stay at the fort, why did n''t you decide sooner?
20418Interesting and delightful?
20418Is Diable among them?
20418Is Diable here?
20418Is Eric sleepy?
20418Is Mr. Sutherland an H. B. C. or Nor''-Wester?
20418Is boy sleepy?
20418Is it a cold night?
20418Is it a long story, Rufus?
20418Is it a pretty story, Rufus?
20418Is it white?
20418Is it you, Eric? 20418 Is it you, really you, looking as old as your great grandfather?
20418Is it your wife, Miriam, and your boy?
20418Is that all about Diable, Eric?
20418Is that all?
20418Is that in our honor?
20418Is that the tribe?
20418Is that true about the Indian kidnapping a woman?
20418Is that true?
20418Is that you, Eric?
20418Is this Sunday?
20418It is n''t so cold as-- as that, is it?
20418It was daylight, Eric?
20418Know any of them?
20418Know they-- what for-- you come?
20418Le Grand Diable-- did you see him?
20418Le Grand Diable?
20418Let go-- is ut ye''re orderin''me?
20418Looks thin, does n''t he? 20418 Lots of confidential talks with her, I suppose?"
20418Louis,I commanded, utterly out of patience,"what of Miriam?
20418Louis,said I, trying to fathom the meaning of his wink,"are those Indians to come yet?"
20418Mane it?
20418Marry!--What?
20418May I not come?
20418Miriam, what has happened?
20418Mr. Sutherland,I cried, with all the impatience of a child,"please tell me, where is your daughter?"
20418My devil, or yours?
20418No?
20418No?
20418Nor''-Wester, but what does that matter? 20418 Not a word for y''rself?"
20418Not know what?
20418Now, Louis, what do you mean by this nonsense?
20418Now, how shall I pay you?
20418O Uncle MacKenzie,said I with a wry face,"do you measure your own wine so?"
20418Oh, is it only you? 20418 Only wisdom?"
20418Out of your reckoning already?
20418Out wid y''r nonsense, and what good are y''thinkin''ye''ll do--? 20418 Pay me?"
20418Please see if they fit, Sir? 20418 Rufus,"he whispered softly,"where are they taking me?"
20418See those stones?
20418Shioux squaw-- Devil''s wife-- how you say it in English? 20418 Sir Alexander was a first cousin of yours, was he not?"

20418There''s a fountain- spout in Nor''-West vaults for those who know where to tap the spigot, eh, Louis?
20418These-- are they all friends?

20418Very far?
20418Very near? 20418 Was it worth while this year?"
20418Was that all?
20418Was-- was-- Laplante-- in that?
20418We do n''t display our little amours----"No,broke in the other,"we just display our little contours and get snubbed, eh?"
20418Well, Gillespie, when you take yours up, take mine along, too, will you? 20418 Well,"said I, with a laugh, which surprised the rascals mightily,"now you''ve captured your elephant, what do you propose to do with him?"
20418Well?
20418Well?
20418Well?
20418Were a few Nor''-Westers so successful in holding back the Metis at Seven Oaks, you''d like to see that experiment repeated?

20418What about Diable?
20418What about him? 20418 What are these birds, Little Fellow?"
20418What are these carvings, may I inquire, Sir?
20418What are ye doin''here?
20418What are you doing yourself? 20418 What are you going to do with him?"
20418What are you going to do with the settlers, Cuthbert?
20418What are you here for? 20418 What boats?"
20418What did this, Little Fellow?

20418What do those mean, Little Fellow?
20418What do ye say, mon? 20418 What do you know about Laplante?"

20418What tribe were they, anyway?
20418What tribe, Louis?
20418What was the matter, Rufus Gillespie?
20418What was the matter?
20418What were you saying about your hard luck?
20418What words wu''l ye have me bear to her, lad?
20418What''d y''do it for, Gillespie? 20418 What''ll we do with him?"
20418What''s his name?

20418What, then?
20418What-- what-- what?
20418What--_has_--happened?
20418What? 20418 What?"
20418What?
20418What_ are_ ladies- and- gentlemen?
20418Whatever-- was that? 20418 When may I see her, Sir?"
20418When may I see her?
20418Where are your Indians?
20418Where can Hamilton be?
20418Where did you come from? 20418 Where did you find it?"
20418Where did you see her?
20418Where do the men come from?
20418Where is Gillespie?
20418Where is Miriam? 20418 Where is Miriam?"
20418Where to, Paul?
20418Where''s Eric Hamilton?

20418Who is that?
20418Who should know better than you? 20418 Who''s afraid, Black Cat?
20418Why did he say that?
20418Why did you lie to them?
20418Why do n''t you answer?
20418Why else do I hide you in my tent? 20418 Why not leave them in the fort till things quiet down?"
20418Why, Gillespie,called a voice,"what in the world are you doing here?"
20418Why?
20418Will he be back?
20418With all the Indians of Red River in possession of that fort?
20418With what?
20418With you?
20418Ye blunder- busticus, ye, what have ye been doing?
20418Yes, do n''t you know you''ve been talking in torrents for the past ten minutes? 20418 Yes-- why?
20418You are going for Miriam?
20418You coming too?
20418You got away too quick for them?
20418You know I lie to you in the gorge?
20418You know what that lie mean--and he hesitated--"mean to her-- to Miriam?"
20418You, Gillespie?
20418You? 20418 Your daughter is not at home?"
20418_ Manus habent, et non palpabunt; pedes_----"Is Gillespie here?
20418_ Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea_----"Some one here before us?
20418_ Us?_she asked.
20418_ Voilà, Monsieur?_said the_ habitant_, which made four words for that day.
20418***** Need I say what door opened, what hands drew me in and chafed life into the benumbed being?
20418*****"How can I thank you for what you have done?"
20418Am I going mad?
20418Am I to believe that?"
20418An''ye claver sic''nonsense when ye''re daft, what would ye say when ye''re sane?
20418And did she flare back at me?
20418And do you know, Rufus, I never could thank you all?
20418And the Sioux did not eat you by inches, beginning with your thumbs?
20418And the fellows''ve got to stretch their necks to come up to her ideas of what''s proper, that''s why she''s a stature, ai n''t it?
20418And what else, indeed?
20418And what were they decreeing?
20418Are there any bleeding hearts in the bush?"
20418Are they ahead?
20418Are they with you?"
20418Are we playing jest is earnest, or earnest is jest?"
20418Are you getting the bench?"
20418Are you mad?"
20418Are you mad?"
20418Besides, was I not returning to one who was peerless?
20418But sisters do mending, do n''t they?"
20418CHAPTER X MORE STUDIES IN STATUARY"So he laughs at our warrant?"
20418CHAPTER XXI LOUIS PAYS ME BACK What tempted me to moor opposite the ruins of Fort Gibraltar?
20418Ca n''t you borrow one from the Indians?
20418Call all even?"
20418Can I do anything to repay you for your trouble in bringing me here?"
20418Can any man blame me for breaking through the thicket and my resolution and discretion and all?
20418Can you go as trader for your people?
20418Can_ you_ see anything up there?"
20418Carpe Diem!_""What is_ Carpe Diem_?"
20418Could I foresee that simple act of mine was to let loose all the punishment the Hudson''s Bay had been heaping up against the day of judgment?
20418Cursing the burdens, yourselves have bound, In a maze of wants, running round and round-- Are ye free men, or manniken slaves?
20418D''y''hear?
20418Did Little Fellow doubt their word?
20418Did Louis act from the love of acting and trickery and intrigue?
20418Did she not bind the white woman?
20418Did she not drag me over the ground like a dead stag?
20418Did she not slay La Robe Noire?
20418Did she not slay the white man before Monsieur''s eyes?
20418Did the Nor''-Wester and I hesitate, and look from the man to the dagger, and from the dagger to the man; or is this an evil dream from a black past?
20418Did you find out anything?"
20418Did you find this--"indicating the spear handle--"there?"
20418Did you hear anything special in the fort that night?"
20418Did you see it?"
20418Do I understand ye clearly, there''s no prisoners with ye?"
20418Do n''t you know any of them?"
20418Do you forget?"
20418Do you hear any one calling for help?
20418Do you hear anything?
20418Do you hear the bells?
20418Do you know, you baggage, that you are delaying this young man in a matter that is of life- and- death importance?
20418Do you raise the tomahawk, or pipe of peace?
20418Do you remember how you saved my life twice from the Sioux, Louis?"
20418Do you think Father Holland would take''em up?"
20418Do you think I stay here for nothing?
20418Do you think I was old Cam''s private secretary for nothin''?
20418Does the physician justify medical experiments on the criminal, or the sacrificial priest the driving of the scape- goat into the wilderness?
20418Drunk is he?"
20418Eh?
20418For the Lord''s sake, boy, do you expect to find the woman by believing in that bloated bugaboo?"
20418For the sake of the old days, Louis, help to undo the wrong you allowed?
20418For them, what motive but to vindicate their bravery?
20418For was it not written in my inner consciousness that destiny had appointed me to the wild, free life of the north?
20418For what was he coming to Red River in this warlike fashion?
20418Had I not dared all?
20418Had I not read, or heard, of departed spirits hovering near loved ones?
20418Had I, by some strange irony, been led to this spot that I might witness the death of my foe?
20418Had I, too, lost grip of reality; or was she in distress calling for me?
20418Had any one come and driven her to the city?
20418Had he gone to keep secret guard over the priest, or to decoy the vigilant Sioux woman?
20418Had he incriminated Diable to save himself?
20418Had he lied?
20418Had my jerk disturbed whatever it was and sent it rolling down to mid- current?
20418Had not these men gone north young and full of hope, as I was going?
20418Had she known of our efforts at all?
20418Had we not more to fear from living?
20418Had_ Monsieur_ examined the clearing between the house and the forest?
20418Hamilton,"exclaimed Uncle Jack MacKenzie, who was facing Eric as I came up behind,"have you been in a race or a fight?"
20418Hamilton?"
20418Hamilton?"
20418Hast Thou no pity?
20418Hast Thou no pity?
20418Have n''t I spent my life among them?
20418Have you brought the tribe as you promised?"
20418Have you more of that kind?"
20418Here were close- fitted boards-- here, iron- lining-- this must be the gate; but where was the lantern that hung behind?
20418How came it that I was in the woods slushing through damp mold up to my ankles in black ooze?
20418How came it that a Catholic priest lay under a Protestant roof?
20418How can I tell how long I hung there?
20418How could we know he''d secure a land grant in the very heart of our domain?"
20418How d''y''know we''re not here to warn ye about the fort?
20418How did you get away?
20418How did you know I was there?"
20418How do I know?
20418How far by the Beauport road?"
20418How long since you left the Sioux?"
20418How many men have made that vow regarding the woman they love?
20418How many more half- breeds were beneath that cliff?
20418How shall I pay you?"
20418I ca n''t stand the sisterly business, Frances----""Have you suffered much from the sisterly?"
20418I cried, exasperated with myself,"Where''s Fort Gibraltar?
20418I exclaimed, rounding him back from the hill,"Ca n''t you stop this nonsense and sit still for only two days more, or must I tie you up?
20418I run forward, I find Le Petit Garçon-- how you call him?--Leetle Fellow?
20418I see where it ought to be, where the towers ought to be higher than that brush, but where''s the fort?"
20418I thank you-- Father Holland-- is it not?
20418If the Indians had such fear, why had this band camped within a mile of the pest tent?
20418If the worst happened and I were captured, had I the courage to endure Indian tortures?
20418If they wo n''t take our boats to the States, or Canada, what else can Nor''-Westers do?"
20418Is it to be peace or war?
20418Is it you or your ghost?"
20418Is language for the use of man, or man for the use of language?"
20418Is no this fine?
20418Is that a child crying?"
20418Is that woman Miriam?"
20418Is the Indian less brave than the pale face?"
20418Is this Thy pity?
20418Joke-- ain''t it?"
20418Lah Grawnd Deeahble,"and he mouthed over our mispronunciation of his own tongue"Joke, is n''t it?"
20418Lord, boy, why did n''t ye stay with that peppery Scotchman?
20418May it please Her Majesty to grant a token to her leal and devoted knight----""What is thy request?"
20418Me hearty, but what was that?"
20418Miriam, the guiltless, was suffering at his hands; should not he, the guilty, suffer at ours?
20418Must not she do the same?
20418My God, men, how can I tell you?
20418Need I say the voice brought me to my feet at one leap?
20418No-- no-- and we''ve been hunting house and garden for hours----""And the forest?"
20418No?
20418Noo, d''ye no hear the clack o''the geese through yon open window?"
20418Now, Rufus, where are your men?
20418Now, what was there in those replies to cause happiness?
20418Now, who''s appointed to trade with the buffalo hunters but y''r very self?"
20418Of course, I should have gone----""And would it have mended matters if you''d been held hostage too?"
20418Pray, who is he?"
20418Putting out his hand he said--"Is it all right with us again, Rufus, old man?"
20418Quick, Miriam, will you try?"
20418Raising his brows in question, Mr. Jack MacKenzie touched his forehead and whispered across to me--"Mad?"
20418Say, babe, why do n''t y''r fill y''r hat with''em and put''em in her tent?"
20418Say, great chief of the Mandanes, what is thy answer?"
20418Shall I whistle for them?"
20418Shall not a sparrow fall to the ground without Thy knowledge?
20418Shall we be friends or enemies?
20418She do n''t pay more attention to you than if you wuz a stump, that''s why she''s a statue, ai n''t it?
20418She may be drown;"whispered Louis,"but we creep on, quiet like hare, no noise like deer, stiller than mountain cat, hist-- what that?"
20418Should I make the final, desperate dash now?
20418Should I wait to be smoked out of my hole, like a badger, or a raccoon?
20418Simpleton-- you think Louis a fool?"
20418Sounds funny in this desert, do n''t it?"
20418Surely you do n''t treasure any grudge yet?"
20418Sutherland?"
20418THE PRIEST JOURNEYS TO A FAR COUNTRY 433 LORDS OF THE NORTH CHAPTER I WHEREIN A LAD SEES MAKERS OF HISTORY"Has any one seen Eric Hamilton?"
20418Tell me this instant, what do you want?"
20418Tell us, what doth the Mandane offer for the blood of the young man?
20418That post, too, might be destroyed; but where were Hamilton and Father Holland?
20418That was true; for had not forty- eight hours passed since I had regained consciousness and I had heard neither her footsteps nor her voice?
20418That''s the way of it, is it?"
20418That''s why she''s a statute, ai n''t it?"
20418The pulpit silenced-- though that''s a big contract-- mankind labeled, what for women?"
20418The water''s shallow there----""What do_ you_ think?"
20418Then, why had Diable rescued his betrayer?
20418To the buffalo hunt first, then, south?
20418Too well I read the signs and knew the summons; and what can love, or gratitude, do in the presence of that summons?
20418Torture, burning, or the cool wash of a black wave gurgling over one''s head?
20418Want them all, Eric?"
20418Was I a part of the new happiness?
20418Was Miriam within range of those smoke signals?
20418Was he befooling the daughter of L''Aigle, or me?
20418Was it a beaver, or my Indian pursuers?
20418Was it old Cameron?"
20418Was it the apprehension of fear, or the buzzing in my ears, that suggested the faint, far- away echo of a clamoring multitude?
20418Was it the influence of this slip of a girl, I wonder, that a curious change came over our crews?
20418Was it the wind, or a low sigh, or a silent weeping, that I heard?
20418Was that the lad I had known?
20418Was the Sioux squaw from the other lodge listening?
20418Was the Sioux wife with her white slave really in the north country, or was she near, and did that explain my morose Iroquois''all- night vigils?
20418Was the apparition in the Mandane lodge some portent?
20418Was the fellow really delirious?
20418Was the man spying on me?
20418Was the policy, that ended so tragically a year afterwards, adopted at this meeting?
20418Was there smoke of battle?
20418Was this Miriam?
20418Was this Miriam?
20418Was this an illusion, or was I, too, going mad?
20418Was this the end of that long career of evil?
20418Was this the_ avant- courier_ of the Hudson''s Bay, delayed, like ourselves, by the storm?
20418Watched?
20418We had befooled Louis into a betrayal of his associates but how much reliance could be placed on that betrayal?
20418We had cheated Laplante; but had he in turn cheated us?
20418We had had a victory; but how long would it last?
20418Well then, why the deuce did n''t you go, and knock the head off anything that opposed you?"
20418Were those_ Carpe Diem_ flowers?"
20418Were you drunk, or were you not?
20418What about Frances?"
20418What am I, that I should escape?
20418What are they doing?"
20418What are you scared of?"
20418What can I do?"
20418What can you, one man, do against two thousand Sioux?"
20418What care Louis Laplante for the fire?
20418What care Louis for repents?
20418What care Louis for wounds and cuts and threats?
20418What could be keeping him?
20418What d''y''mane, scarin''the breath out of a body and blowing his ideas to limbo?
20418What did Frances mane by lettin''you out to- night?"
20418What did it matter if we were?
20418What did_ you_ do it for?"
20418What do you take traders for?"
20418What do you want of me?"
20418What do you want?"
20418What does Eric say before he goes to sleep?"
20418What for might the angels o''Heaven be doin''going up and down betwane the blue sky and the green earth?
20418What for wu''d a powr Irish priest be doin''a- wearin''of radiant white?
20418What had happened?
20418What had we to fear from dying?
20418What has changed him?"
20418What has that to do with it?"
20418What if some watchful Indian should discover our moving shadows?
20418What lover could send his heart''s eloquence by word of mouth with a peppery, prosaic father?
20418What matter if a lonely one like myself went out alone to the great dark?
20418What of Miriam?
20418What of Miriam?"
20418What of the stars?"
20418What of them?"
20418What picture did agate call back to my mind?
20418What spirits wail to the prairie gale?
20418What tempts the fly into the spider''s web and the fish with a wide ocean for play- ground into one small net?
20418What wonder the gauzy northern lights are bands of marshaling warriors and the stars torches lighting those who ride the plains of heaven?
20418What would Rufus do without ye?"
20418What would you do?"
20418What''s coming now?"
20418What''s goin''on here?"
20418What''s kept you?"
20418What''s that?"
20418What''s up?"
20418What''s wrong out there?"
20418What''s wrong?"
20418What''s your plan?"
20418What,''an wuld ye dare strike a servant o''the Lord?
20418What-- what-- is it?
20418Whatever was it I was to say about stars?
20418Whatever''s the matter with you?"
20418When the harsh voice asked,"Do I rive ye sore?"
20418Where are the parties?"
20418Where are they takin''me, Rufus?
20418Where are y''r wits?
20418Where are your eyes?"
20418Where is the child?
20418Where is the messenger from the Mandanes?"
20418Where is the white woman?"
20418Where was Fort Gibraltar?
20418Where was I?
20418Where was Louis in hiding?
20418Where was the carcass?
20418Where''s his tribe?"
20418Where''s that Frenchman?
20418Where''s the fort?"
20418Where''s the white woman?
20418Where''s your father?"
20418Where_ is_ Rufus Gillespie?"
20418Which of these cut- throats may I claim for a son?"
20418Whither away so fast?"
20418Who are you?"
20418Who can say that I might not have departed from the path called rectitude?
20418Who can tell?
20418Who follows?
20418Who has them?"
20418Who tells his woes to the evening breeze?
20418Who''ll miss him?
20418Who''s afraid of the Sioux?
20418Who''s going to play?"
20418Who''s put off the trail by the fire of a fool Sioux?
20418Who-- are-- you?
20418Who-- in the world-- are you?
20418Who?"
20418Whose cry outpierces the night- bird''s note?
20418Whose voice mourns sadly through sighing trees?
20418Whur''s Eric Hamilton, I say?"
20418Whur''s Eric Hamilton?"
20418Whur-- d''--y''--hide-- it?"
20418Why ca n''t you help me?
20418Why ca n''t you say Statue?"
20418Why did I do it?
20418Why did she evade me and turn altogether to the priest at her right?
20418Why did she not signal?
20418Why do n''t you make something out of this?
20418Why does he not come home to me?"
20418Why does n''t he come?
20418Why had Louis gone off, and why did he not come back?
20418Why have inane answers to inane, timorous questions transformed earth into paradise and mortals into angels?
20418Why have you been so hard on us?"
20418Why have you destroyed our fort?"
20418Why should the half- breed not have his share of the booty?
20418Why should the_ Bois- Brulés_ not pillage Hudson''s Bay posts?
20418Why was the thing lying there, anyway?
20418Why, Gillespie, what do you know of such things?
20418Will it make your revenge any sweeter to torture a helpless, white woman?"
20418Will ye follow the boats alone and see that no harm comes to them?"
20418Will ye go?"
20418Wo n''t she blush?
20418Wo n''t you come back?"
20418Wo n''t you try all for Eric''s sake?
20418Would I be justified in taking Diable prisoner, and would my company consent to the demoralization of their crews by such a step?
20418Would it be right to get hold of Le Grand Diable?"
20418Would they return to the last marks of my trail?
20418Yes, quite, as long as the settlers are here; and you, you will let me know when the priest sets out for Pembina?"
20418You generous?
20418You give life?
20418You help one able help himself?
20418You nearly wrenched my hand off----""Can you blame me?"
20418You wanted to go into that wigwam; did n''t you?
20418You were not meant for feasts, my solemncholy?
20418an''is that you, Father Holland?"
20418came the response in an amused voice,"find it very far?
20418he cried,"mane it?
20418is it really so?"
20418is it you?"
20418man?"
37688All well at home, Quigley?
37688And what if there should be no trial, Winn?
37688And what possible excuse or explanation have you, sir? 37688 And, after all, what matters it now?
37688And-- of late-- what have you heard of him?
37688Barclay-- Barclay, you say?
37688Buffstick? 37688 But-- how?--why?"
37688Can you guide us by the shortest route from here to the trail you spoke of to Captain Barclay?
37688Can you think of anything we ought to do?
37688Captain Barclay,she faltered,"here?
37688D''ye remember Pigott, that little cad that was court- martialled at San Antonio in''68 for quintuplicating his pay accounts? 37688 Do you suppose-- he could have accepted it from-- Captain Barclay?"
37688Does he know Captain Barclay, do you think?
37688Has it come?
37688Has the sergeant told you?
37688Home,said Blythe, sadly:"what home has a child whose kith and kin are all of the army?
37688Hullo, lad,he hailed, full twenty paces away,"what luck?
37688Hwat d''ye warrnt of the meejor, Winn?
37688Hwat time will we make Crockett''s, major?
37688Hwat''s ahl the lucre, I say?
37688I ca n''t decline the commanding officer''s invitation, can I, sir?
37688In God''s name, man, what''s happened?
37688Is he larnin''his thrade from Lawrence, afther robbin''him av his throop?
37688Is n''t she just stunning?
37688Is n''t she simply superb?
37688It wo n''t put you out in any way?
37688Major, may I send a man or two out in that direction?
37688Now what''s that woman taking Ada Lawrence there for?
37688Now, what are you philosophizing about?
37688On his way here? 37688 Ride with us a moment, wo n''t you, Barclay?"
37688The paymaster, or the captain?
37688Then what is to become of mine?
37688Tough? 37688 Well, of all the----""Of all the what?"
37688What am I to say to Colonel Frazier, sir?
37688What can one do or say?
37688What did that blackguard say?
37688What do you see?
37688What is it, Brooks, me boy?
37688What is it, sergeant?
37688What is it? 37688 What''s amiss?
37688Where did this occur, and when did you return, sir?
37688Who is Buffstick?
37688Will you think me very rude?
37688Winn gone?
37688Wrong? 37688 You and Barclay lead on, will you, Ned?"
37688You do n''t mean a letter from--_him_?
37688You struck him-- with what?
37688You tell them there''s nothing much the matter, will you?
37688You think he ought not to have come?
37688Admitting that Lawrence had been grievously wronged,"whose fault was it?"
37688And what was that rider''s fate?
37688Any luck, sir?"
37688Brayton?"
37688Brevets of course he had, but what are brevets but empty title?
37688But had his trouble so weighed upon him that he really welcomed the possible coming of the end?
37688But how, said they to each other, as they went gloomily away, was that other to be"fixed"?
37688But the question is, ought I not to make poor Lawrence understand that it''s a gone case?
37688Ca n''t something be done?"
37688Ca n''t you let me mount from my back porch here and amble around these fine mornings before people are up?"
37688Ca n''t you see?
37688Did Mr. Hodge know surely about Mr. Barclay''s wealth?
37688Does Winn know?"
37688Gentlemen, do you know you simply invite an apoplectic seizure by sitting down to dinner in a tightly buttoned uniform coat?
37688Had she dreamed it possible that he would follow?
37688Have I the honor of addhressin''Captain Barclay?"
37688He was, and would Mrs. Winn be pleased to ride?
37688Her father had always supported her in style; why could n''t Harry do the same?
37688Hodge?"
37688How could he tell Barclay that he thought Winn''s love and faith in his wife were dead and gone?
37688How could he tell him that Winn would touch no dollar of the money until he had first met and satisfied another claim?
37688How does he propose to pay it?"
37688How much did Barclay think it wurrth, Winn?"
37688I can keep my old quarters a month, ca n''t I?"
37688I''ll go at once to the store.--Brayton, will you come with me?"
37688Is he here?"
37688Is there no way in which scouts could gallop across our left and give warning to those fellows?"
37688Lawrence was as good a soldier as we had in the 12th, and, yet, what can you do or say?
37688Let Captain Barclay hold you?
37688May I be excused?
37688Meantime, what were wife and baby and other claimants to do?
37688Not five minutes later Mrs. Frazier turned to Mrs. Faulkner and asked,"What was Laura Winn showing you?--a letter?"
37688Now, once more, will you come or not?"
37688Oh, why did n''t Mr. Winn come home?
37688On some things the board was disposed to dare regulations and raps on the knuckles, and to let Winn off on several others; but what was the use?
37688Should it have been permitted, had there been any one to prevent, in view of the fact that no longer was there soldier duty to lead him on?
37688Tell me, is-- is his life so changed as-- as they say it is?"
37688Then, seizing Winn by the arm,"What d''ye mean?"
37688Then,"Is n''t there anything I can do?"
37688Was he only just beginning to know her, after all?
37688Was it all true?
37688Was it worth what might befall those motherless children, praying for father hour after hour that livelong day?
37688Was it-- a far more charitable thought-- in search of Harry she had gone?
37688We''ll overhaul that scoundrel before he can reach the settlements, unless----""But what is wrong?
37688What business had he had to woo her if he was so poor?
37688What could have been her object?
37688What could they do?
37688What could warrant such-- such conduct?"
37688What did that mean, if not that he deemed her guilty?
37688What do you suppose they''ll do with him in the--th?"
37688What does--_he_ say?"
37688What else could one expect of her?
37688What else had her mother been before her?
37688What good did it do to stay over there and worry?
37688What had he to write to her about, unless it was to ask her to ride or something of the kind?
37688What had we better do, Lawrence?"
37688What has Winn to do with it?"
37688What mattered it?
37688What might not be accomplished by such a matron and such dear girls under such exceptional circumstances?
37688What ought he to do?
37688What profiteth it a man to be called colonel if he have only the pay of a sub?
37688What right had he to ask her to be his wife?
37688What right had he to subject her to the annoyance of dunning letters, of suggestive inquiries on the part of her neighbors?
37688What right had he to use one cent of this money for any purpose whatever, when another day might be his last?
37688What was he to live on, and so insure payment of which his death would destroy all possibility?
37688What would my apologies be worth?
37688What''s amiss?"
37688What''s his offence?
37688What''s to become, though, of that poor child Ada and his little boy?"
37688When would they get through?
37688Where are you going-- with your revolver, too?
37688Where is your message?"
37688Which had been longest outstanding?
37688Which ought to be paid first?
37688Who is he?"
37688Who next?
37688Who was it that came leaping to her aid as she felt herself again dragged under in that swirling eddy?
37688Whose voice was it that rang upon her drowning ears?
37688Why do you ask?"
37688Why should she, whose tastes, she said, were so much more refined, be mated with one who could only spend?
37688Will you let Winn ride with me as far as Castle Peak?
37688With awe- stricken faces and compressed lips they looked into each other''s eyes, as though to ask, What next?
37688Would she miss him?
37688You had your arm in a sling six long months, did n''t you?
37688You heard it at once, did n''t you?
37688You were there?
37688but hwat''s the cavalry comin''to?"
37688he cried, breaking suddenly off,"what''s all the light about down at the sutler''s?
37688what should he do with this money?
37688what''s happened?"
12419Ah,he said, with a touch of his former restraint;"and why?"
12419Ai n''t he horrid?
12419Ai n''t you Teresa?
12419Alas, Juanita, what avails it now? 12419 And Father Pedro, what said he of him?"
12419And I suppose,said Mrs. Patterson angrily,"you''d have put out too?"
12419And any one coming from the road we left just now and going to-- to-- that place, would have to cross just here? 12419 And do you think,"he asked with logical deliberation,"that you could find any plant from another I should give you?"
12419And give you a show to snatch that six- shooter and blow a hole through me, as you did to the Sheriff of Calaveras, eh? 12419 And he has been with you here-- yesterday-- tonight?"
12419And he would be good to his own forsaken Belle,she murmured caressingly,"and would n''t let any one harm her?"
12419And his name was----?
12419And how will you recognize your baby in this young lady?
12419And it was here?
12419And now?
12419And she did n''t let on anythin''about him?
12419And that idea is--?
12419And that''s the fore hatch?
12419And the Old Man?
12419And the body?
12419And the child?
12419And the clothes, friend Cranch?
12419And there was no real May in the case?
12419And they live?
12419And this,summed up the young girl, with a slight shrug of her pretty shoulders,"is_ your May_?"
12419And thou hast kept back or put away no sign nor mark of her parentage? 12419 And to save him you have deceived me?
12419And what did_ you_ do?
12419And what do you reckon?
12419And what does that prove?
12419And what if I happen to know that the Excelsior boys ai n''t blastin''to- day?
12419And when did he leave you?
12419And when does the guardian come?
12419And where are they now?
12419And who are they?
12419And who else?
12419And who was it advised us to dam the creek below the race and make it do the thing?
12419And why in blazes did n''t you say so first?
12419And you ai n''t quite clear in your mind, are you, if_ you_ have n''t done the work already? 12419 And you call yourself a California miner?"
12419And you did n''t find anything?
12419And you did not hold down your head purposely?
12419And you heard all that when you listened just now?
12419And you kept it because of the odd resemblance one of the names bore to yours?
12419And you met no one?
12419And you stole his mare?
12419And you were here at seven; you could have covered some ground in four hours?
12419And you wo n''t have to smell your way again?
12419And you''re going?
12419And you''re sure you never knew any?
12419And you?
12419And you?
12419And your mother-- do you remember her?
12419And_ he_ told you?
12419And_ you_?
12419Anything wrong with the claim?
12419Are we going down together?
12419Are we nearly there?
12419Are you a family man?
12419Are you goin''back on us?
12419Are you mad? 12419 Are you nervous because a single wayfarer happens to stray here?"
12419Are you satisfied you have been duped?
12419Are you sure that you did not love that Francisco? 12419 Are you sure?"
12419Are you sure?
12419Are you-- are you-- going?
12419Are you_ not_?
12419Are_ you_?
12419As long as he was n''t coming here, why did you give me such a fright?
12419At daybreak, reverend father?
12419Before your cabin or on the highway?
12419But are not these papers valuable?
12419But are you mad? 12419 But are you sure you are not pretending to love me now, as you pretended to think I was the_ muchacha_ you had run away with and lost?
12419But ca n''t you tell me now?
12419But come, I say, ai n''t you going to treat? 12419 But did any one know of this but yourself?"
12419But did n''t he say,queried the Left Bower, also stopping short,"suthin''about its being contingent on our doing some work on the race?"
12419But did you really find it?
12419But for what?
12419But hev you?
12419But how did_ you_ know it?
12419But how? 12419 But how?
12419But if it was some friend of his,suggested Brace uneasily,"what would you do?"
12419But if it were possible, if she were still living, are you fit to seek her, to even make yourself known to her, to appear before her?
12419But suppose_ I_ wanted to sing out for you, what will I call you?
12419But suppose_ you_ ai n''t accustomed to risks?
12419But tell me, Teresa, why did you go to Excelsior?
12419But the Ranch?
12419But the girl, Inez, who was with you, did n''t she make a row?
12419But these proofs?
12419But what does it all mean, father?
12419But what has Miss Nott to do with M. de Ferrières?
12419But what name do you wish to call me?
12419But who are these?
12419But who is in the boat?
12419But why have you sent for me?
12419But why lawyers,continued Padre Pedro, with a slight sneer he could not repress,"if the child is found and Señor Cranch is satisfied?"
12419But why was this not told to me before?
12419But why? 12419 But you did n''t mean to be-- it was some mistake, was n''t it?"
12419But you did n''t see her there-- and how do you know she is there now?
12419But you have been crying; why?
12419But you said you did n''t want to go?
12419But, Nellie, I never thought that you--"Never thought that I-- what?
12419But, father, have we the_ right_ to give''em away?
12419But,he added, after a pause, with the air of a man obliged to revive a stale and unpleasant memory,"if I did-- what about it?"
12419But,said Renshaw,"do you think that would have been fair to Sleight?"
12419But... did Nellie... understand you?
12419Ca n''t ye get the poor critter some whiskey?
12419Calumny?
12419Can you not understand that a woman like me must know a thing once and forever? 12419 Can you remember,"he one day asked her,"what time it was when you cut the_ riata_ and got away?"
12419Captain Poindexter, is it? 12419 Collecting?"
12419Come now, that''s a compliment to you, is n''t it?
12419Could it have been Miss Nellie?
12419Could n''t you manage,she said gently,"to lean on me a few steps further, until I could bring you to a cooler spot and nearer assistance?"
12419Did I?
12419Did he ask for_ me_?
12419Did he ever try to seek you out?
12419Did he look like a sailor?
12419Did he tell you this?
12419Did she say anything?
12419Did this ring belong to you?
12419Did you ever go there with Low?
12419Did you find anything disturbed_ there_?
12419Did you go to the cabin in the woods yesterday?
12419Did you hear--_did_ you hear what he said, boys?
12419Did you see him?--in his room?
12419Did_ you_ send it?
12419Do I know Lance Harriott?
12419Do I know the d-- d ruffian? 12419 Do n''t be alarmed,"he said, gayly,"it''s only"--"What?"
12419Do n''t you remember our long talk coming from church?
12419Do n''t you remember?
12419Do n''t you smell it yourself?
12419Do you know Hornsby?
12419Do you know any one who wears a frieze coat like that?
12419Do you mean to say that every miner does n''t know that it''s lucky to dig wherever human blood has been spilt?
12419Do you remember,he continued,"one evening when I told you some sea tales, you said you always thought there must be some story about the Pontiac?
12419Do you see that biggest tree, with the root stretching out half- way across to the opposite one?
12419Do you think it was wise to sell that particular skin, which might be identified?
12419Do you think you could get me some breakfast for that, and have enough left to buy something for yourself?
12419Do you think you have come into possession of this alleged deed like a gentleman?
12419Do you want me to?
12419Do you wish me to walk the rest of the way home?
12419Do you,he asked, in a voice he scarcely recognized himself,--"do you want this man inside?"
12419Do you?
12419Do_ you_ lay claim to them?
12419Does Mademoiselle think so?
12419Does that mean you''ve found nothing?
12419Dost thou mean there are none?
12419Dost thou not see, little sister? 12419 Drag whom?"
12419Ef,said Nott, kindly, with a laying on of large benedictory and paternal hands,"ef ye''re willin''to see Rosey agin, without_ speakin_?
12419Eh?
12419Everything but whom?
12419Father,she began,"when mother died, would_ you_ have liked anybody to take her trunks and paw round her things and wear them?"
12419Ferrers?
12419Fine doin''s this, yer receivin''clandecent bundles and letters, eh?
12419Flip, why do n''t you?
12419For him?
12419For no other reason?
12419For only that?
12419For, her? 12419 Friends o''his-- feller furrin citizens-- spies on Rosey, do n''t you see?
12419Glad to hear it,said Lance, with unmistakable satisfaction,"but why did you go for my revolver?"
12419Go on-- introduce me-- can''t you? 12419 Go where?"
12419Going?
12419Got down to walk, and the coach got away from you, Jack, eh?
12419Had he a long mustache and a sad, sweet smile, and a voice so gentle and yet so strong that you felt he ordered you to do things without saying it? 12419 Had n''t you better sit down?"
12419Hallo?
12419Have I your permission to stay?
12419Have you any other friends that come?
12419Have you been long here?
12419Have you been long in these parts, Miss?
12419Have you implored forgiveness of the father-- the man you wronged-- before you came here?
12419He''s rather fresh,he said, eying her keenly:"are you sure you can manage him?"
12419Hezn''t she told yer?
12419How dared she show you my letter--_you_ of all men? 12419 How did you find it?"
12419How did you find it?
12419How did you get them?
12419How do I know,said the priest harshly, without turning his head,"that you did not make away with this child?"
12419How do you know_ he_ knew it, father?
12419How do_ you_ know?
12419How far is it?
12419How looks he, this Americano who seeks thee?
12419How many have you helped over this road?
12419How many, for instance?
12419How should I?
12419How soon can I go?
12419How, then?
12419I beg your pardon?
12419I mean--she hesitated;"have you no friends?"
12419I reckon that was n''t much like either you or me,said Dunn slowly,"was it?
12419I reckon, now, Rosey''s got high- flown ideas of livin''in a castle with ruins, eh?
12419I see,said the young man quietly;"and you?"
12419I suppose I did n''t get a very good character from my last place?
12419I suppose I frightened you, popping up the fore hatch just now?
12419I suppose this style of thing ai n''t very fancy, is it?
12419I suppose you could n''t buy one at Indian Spring?
12419I suppose you know nothing of his business? 12419 I thought so,"said Rosey simply;"you''re the contractor?"
12419I want to know what you are going to do?
12419I was only wantin''to know ef you had any news for me, boss?
12419I was sayin''that Mr. Ferrières did n''t happen in while the young feller was there-- eh?
12419I''m very sorry,she said,"but would n''t that,"pointing to the carcass of the bear,"have made them curious?"
12419I?
12419If Mr. Nott does n''t sign, sir?
12419If anybody dropped in and asked for you, what name will they say?
12419If he''s such a good man, why do you hesitate?
12419If you do not wish the inquiry carried on,he began,"of course"--"I?
12419In course, kinder sweepin''round the galley, and offerin''to fetch you wood and water, eh?
12419Is anything the matter? 12419 Is he here?"
12419Is it a bear, or a brigand?
12419Is it far?
12419Is it?
12419Is n''t it just about the ridiculousest thing all round?
12419Is that all?
12419Is that all?
12419Is that another of your lies?
12419Is that petition for grading Pontiac Street ready?
12419Is that the way the squaws bathe and dry themselves?
12419Is that you, Spence?
12419Is the wedding or the hanging to take place first, or together, so he can officiate at both?
12419Is there any one to serve here?
12419Is this all father gave you?
12419It is possible she rejoins him, eh?
12419It is too droll, Mademoiselle, is it not?
12419It is,responded Low, in gratified surprise;"but how did you know it?
12419It seems dreadful to put on the poor thing''s clothes, does n''t it?
12419It''s a bad lookout for me, ai n''t it?
12419It_ was_ worth a thousand dollars, was n''t it?
12419Ith it a mulatto or a Thircuth, or both?
12419Kinder like ole times, ai n''t it? 12419 Know what?"
12419Let him take me away? 12419 Let me see-- that''s Donna Elvira''s dress-- is it not?"
12419Like me, for instance?
12419Lo, the poor Indian?
12419Looking round the ship, was he-- eh, Rosey?
12419Looks a little as if I were running away, do n''t it?
12419Looks kinder as if I was a pris''ner, do n''t it?
12419Makes diamonds?
12419Makin''it for anythin''?
12419Many of''em?
12419May I?
12419Maybe you forget how you used to row and tear round here because tramps and such like came to the ranch for suthin'', and I gave it to''em? 12419 Might I not say the same to you regarding your friend, the old Frenchman?"
12419My papers?
12419Nellie,said Wynn excitedly,"do you want to drive me mad?
12419News?
12419No; why?
12419No? 12419 Nor hear it?
12419Nor ye ai n''t one of them chicken lifters that raided Henderson''s ranch? 12419 Nor ye ai n''t that chap ez beat his wife unto death at Santa Clara?"
12419Not any one who scents himself with some doctor''s stuff like cologne?
12419Of purchasing? 12419 Of what?"
12419Oh, he did say that, did he? 12419 Oh, he''s your father-- Nott?
12419Oh, that was_ you_ kicked up such a row, was it?
12419Oh, they''re not big?
12419Oh, where?
12419Oh, you want me to help you, do you? 12419 Or from a drawing of it?"
12419Or have you anything to say to me about him in private?
12419P''r''aps you and him did n''t break into this ship last night, jist to run off with my darter Rosey? 12419 Perhaps you''d like to go back and see them?"
12419Perhaps,he said grimly,"you would also like news of the photographer and Captain Bower, or did your father agree with them better?"
12419Pretty comfortable, eh?
12419Really, now?
12419Satisfied with what?
12419Shall I open it?
12419Shall we beach her?
12419Sit down, ca n''t ye? 12419 Sleight wants to buy her?
12419Smelt so?
12419So take a seat a minit, wo n''t ye?
12419So you thought you''d freeze on to that six- shooter of mine until you saw my hand?
12419So_ that_ was your little game?
12419Some one was listening-- did you not see him? 12419 Sure, Flip?"
12419Tell me, child, didst thou say that this coast was wild and desolate of man, beast, and habitation?
12419Tell me,said Lance hoarsely, laying his quivering hand on the table,"was Bob Ridley your son?"
12419That Low is really your son?
12419That there are not slips of memory, eh? 12419 That you did not complete your revenge by-- by-- killing it, as your comrade suspected you?
12419That''s the kind you''re looking for, is n''t it?
12419The Postmaster?
12419The property?
12419The tall, lame man, who was half eaten by a grizzly?
12419The what?
12419Then Dunn has gone to the woods?
12419Then I am to believe that you prefer to spend your leisure moments in looking after that creature to calling here?
12419Then he does n''t go with the coach to Indian Spring to- day?
12419Then how did you come to think of it?
12419Then it was_ you_ made these holes?
12419Then what did you mean by saying we reckoned our canoe was too full?
12419Then what is that?
12419Then why did he look so silly at first, and then put on airs when I joked him about it, eh?
12419Then why did n''t you come out when they hailed you last night?
12419Then why do n''t she say who sent''em, and what they are like,said the Postmaster,"if there''s nothing in it?"
12419Then you are certain she is the babe you seek?
12419Then you are doing this for a society?
12419Then you came here just to see me?
12419Then you did not come alone?
12419Then you did not see him go?
12419Then you do n''t happen to have heard anything of Spencer?
12419Then you do n''t want to know?
12419Then you fired that shot to bring me back?
12419Then you know it?
12419Then you reckoned to go, any way?
12419Then you think I am safe here?
12419Then you were not there-- then you did n''t leave me to die?
12419Then you wo n''t bring me anything to eat here?
12419Then you wo n''t shoot him on sight?
12419Then you''re sure it was Ferriferes you saw pass by your window before you called me?
12419Then your mother was really an Indian?
12419Then, where is he now?
12419Then, where is she?
12419There are other relations, perhaps?
12419They?
12419To leave Mademoiselle and leave the ship?
12419Was he Blue Grass, then, dear old boy?
12419Was he worse?--I mean did he look badly, father?
12419Was n''t that our idea?
12419Was that hatch fastened as it is now?
12419Well, what do you thay?
12419Well, you are a h-- ll of a fellow, ai n''t you?
12419Well, you_ are_ a fool, are n''t you?
12419Well,he said, gayly,"what next?"
12419Well,she continued impatiently,"who is she?
12419Well,she said hoarsely,"what are you going to do about it?"
12419Well?
12419Well?
12419Were n''t they directed to me?
12419What are ye talkin''about?
12419What are you hiding for-- here in this tree?
12419What are you waiting for?
12419What became of that bar? 12419 What calumny?"
12419What can the fellow be up to?
12419What care I how he looks,said Juanita,"or what he is?
12419What did he_ say_?
12419What did the other two want? 12419 What did you make it for?"
12419What did you say?
12419What do they want?
12419What do you mean?
12419What do you mean?
12419What do you mean?
12419What do you mean?
12419What does he want to buy her for?
12419What does it mean?
12419What does your father do here?
12419What for? 12419 What has happened?"
12419What has happened?
12419What have we here?
12419What if I do n''t?
12419What if I told you it is the lawyer, it is the doctor, it is the banker that brings me, a gentleman, to this, eh? 12419 What if I were to confess to you that I lately suspected him of knowing the secret, and of trying to gain your assistance?"
12419What if she did? 12419 What in the name of goodness are you doing?"
12419What is it, father?
12419What is it?
12419What is your purpose, then?
12419What mean you?
12419What name did you say?
12419What new alarm is this? 12419 What news?"
12419What next? 12419 What said he to thee, child?"
12419What sayest thou, good Antonio?
12419What shall I do with your handkerchief?
12419What will you do?
12419What''s all right?
12419What''s that you were saying just now about a bearskin he sold?
12419What''s that you''re saying?
12419What''s the matter with your neck?
12419What''s the reason you did n''t sell this old ship long ago, take a decent house in the town, and bring up your daughter like a lady?
12419What''s to keep me from killing Poindexter in his tracks?
12419What''s your name?
12419What, father?
12419What?
12419When I had only invited myself? 12419 When do you go?"
12419Where are you?
12419Where did you find it?
12419Where is he?
12419Where is your daughter now?
12419Where were you yesterday?
12419Where would have been my reparation-- my duty?
12419Where''s that whiskey, pardner?
12419Where?
12419Where?
12419Which way are you going?
12419Who are you, Señor Heathen, who dare to dictate to me, a Father of Holy Church? 12419 Who are you, who speak thus?"
12419Who dares say that? 12419 Who did the grocery man say that to?"
12419Who else_ does_ call you so?
12419Who fired that shot?
12419Who is the coroner?
12419Who is_ he_?
12419Who occupies it besides?
12419Who said it was a woman?
12419Who said so?
12419Who''s Kennedy and Bijah?
12419Who''s got another horse and buggy?
12419Who''s there?
12419Who? 12419 Whom?"
12419Why did you come like that?
12419Why do n''t you give me up at once, and do a service to one of your friends?
12419Why do n''t you read it yourself?
12419Why do you have to go all the way round?
12419Why do you seek me, then?
12419Why have you not been to Red Chief? 12419 Why here?"
12419Why in blazes do n''t he go up to that there blamed hotel on the summit? 12419 Why is it not, Señor?"
12419Why not at the time? 12419 Why not examine the place where he was concealed?
12419Why not? 12419 Why not?"
12419Why should I? 12419 Why should n''t you, Cal?"
12419Why?
12419Why?
12419Why?
12419Will you give your word, Don Josà ©, that you will not press the claim for a month?
12419Will you wait a moment for me?
12419Wish me good luck, wo n''t you?
12419With your nose?
12419Would you sell it again for a song?
12419Ye ai n''t brought no presents, hev ye?
12419Ye ai n''t got no pooty things for poor Wangee girl?
12419Ye ai n''t lost it agin, hev ye?
12419Ye did n''t none on ye happen to drop anything round yer last night?
12419Yes; did n''t you read the note I left on the herbarium? 12419 You are going away?"
12419You are sure of that?
12419You are sure we are not seen?
12419You are_ sure_?
12419You can?
12419You did n''t swallow all that rot about the diamond, did you?
12419You did?--and why?
12419You do n''t ask me mine?
12419You do n''t mean to say that''s the sort of hog wash the old man serves out to you regularly?
12419You do n''t remember anything of your father?
12419You do n''t suppose,returned Mrs. Patterson contemptuously,"that she''s got anything but what that man of hers-- Poindexter-- lets her have?"
12419You do n''t?
12419You feel sorry for any one that''s dead, do n''t you?
12419You have n''t got a towel-- or,she said dubiously, looking at her small handkerchief,"anything to dry them on?"
12419You have n''t got last week''s''Sacramento Union,''have you? 12419 You have n''t sold it to that man Sleight?"
12419You never found anything else on the trail?
12419You say he and your father did n''t agree? 12419 You say it was the same Lascar you saw before?"
12419You say you found that ring in the road some three months before-- the-- the-- you know what I mean-- the body-- was discovered?
12419You say you heard the slide come down before you left the cabin?
12419You think so?
12419You think the fire will not go north of where you found me?
12419You thought it might have been dropped by some one in passing?
12419You travel a good deal on your figure, pardner, do n''t you?
12419You were good friends enough until--"Until he insulted me just now; is that it?"
12419You will not think me foolish if I ask you to wait here while I go in there--she pointed to the ominous thicket near them--"alone?"
12419You would n''t stand snoopin''round instead of lettin''the Old Man get used to the idea alone? 12419 You''re riding inside?"
12419You''re sure you have n''t dropped anything?
12419You--_you_--here?
12419You?
12419You_ have_ a friend and countryman already with you, do you know? 12419 You_ think_ she died?
12419Yur ai n''t one o''the McCarthy gang-- are ye?
12419_ Do n''t you see we''re gaining on him_?
12419_ Quien sabe?_returned Tucker, with a reckless laugh.
12419_ Quien sabe_?
12419_ What_ treasure? 12419 ''''Spose you sell the ship?'' 12419 ''But what will Dunn say?'' 12419 ''But wot makes Mr. Renshaw go, father,''sez she;''wot makes everybody run away from the ship?'' 12419 ''Hallo, Cranch,''sez he to me,''so you got away, did n''t you? 12419 ''I reckon I do n''t hitch on, pardner,''sez I;''security what for?'' 12419 ''There,''sez he,''that''s_ your_ security-- now where''s_ mine_?'' 12419 ''What are you talking about,''sez I;''how should I know?'' 12419 ''What''ll you take for her and the lot she stands on?'' 12419 ''Will he not be jealous?''
12419( with a sad smile)"that_ you_ are not above that weakness?"
12419After a moment she asked, suddenly,"What are you going to do with Hornsby?"
12419Ai n''t it just the biggest thing for the boys to get hold of?
12419Ai n''t it the same man as killed Arkansaw Bob-- Bob Ridley-- the name he went by in Sonora?
12419Am I goin''to stop here, or have I got to get up and get?"
12419Am I the fire?"
12419An awkward silence followed; Teresa broke it gayly:"But your girl, your sweetheart, my benefactor-- will_ she_ let you go?"
12419And at the word of a self- convicted man of sin-- a man whose tardy repentance was not yet absolved by the Holy Church?
12419And did his eye read your thoughts?--that very thought that you must obey him?"
12419And had she not made his humiliation complete by begging Charley''s interference between him and his enemy?
12419And how''s the cap''en''s baby?
12419And how-- but what if somebody else, Union Mills or the Judge, had been the first discoverer?
12419And if this Juanita is not your girl, eh?"
12419And if_ you_ do"--"Well?"
12419And there was nothing else; no paper nor envelope?"
12419And was this sacred trust to be withdrawn from him?
12419And what business had this strange young man to use the ship so familiarly?
12419And what do you think he is?"
12419And what had he been doing here?
12419And what might not come from that meeting away from the prying eyes of their own town?
12419And what was she now?
12419And when did you have that pretty hope?"
12419And who was Bob Ridley, eh?
12419And why was it?
12419And why?
12419And why?
12419And yet was it unreasonable?
12419And you used to dance at the Alhambra?"
12419And-- what else?"
12419Are n''t you a Christian?"
12419Are ye moonin''agin with yer secrets?
12419Are you comfortable?"
12419Are you sure he will come?"
12419Are you sure it is not pity for the deceit you practiced upon me-- upon Don Juan-- upon poor Father Pedro?"
12419Are you sure you''ve got the right bearings?"
12419As the astonished teamster drew up before this elegant apparition, she panted:"Why did you make me run so far, and why did n''t you look up?"
12419Because I''m a girl I do n''t see why I ca n''t go out without a keeper, and why I can not do what any man can do that is n''t wrong; do you?
12419Before that time I want you to do something to save a fragment of your property from the ruin; do you understand?
12419Besides, have I not told thee it ill becomes a child of Christ to chatter with those sons of Belial?
12419But I suppose he''s accustomed to take risks?"
12419But canst thou not repeat the words-- the_ words_ he said?"
12419But could n''t you let me wait here or in the gangway until then, Miss Nott?
12419But did you expect them to- night?"
12419But had we not better first try to find if there_ is_ any property before we examine his claims to it?"
12419But how?
12419But if_ they_ were here, where was_ he_, and in what new disguise had he escaped from his poverty?
12419But the lawyer, the banker, the doctor, what are they?"
12419But we must keep it dark until after I marry Nellie, do n''t you see?
12419But what of that?
12419But what was that mystery, and why was the ring secondary to himself?
12419But why come here?"
12419But why dost thou think this stranger is my new guardian?"
12419But why had the Lascar been haunting the ship before?
12419But you tell me it was not so?"
12419But_ what_ did he think?
12419But_ you_, Don Marco, of whom are you advocate?
12419Buy it, you mean?"
12419Ca n''t you understand?"
12419Can you drive forty miles?"
12419Come, make tracks, will ye?"
12419Could he have been such an egregious fool, and was it not plainly written on his embarrassed face for her to read?
12419Could he take Dunn''s promised bride, who must have coquetted with him to have brought him to this miserable plight?
12419Could it be Curson again, with a word of warning?
12419Could it be possible that Sleight had always suspected him, and set spies to watch-- or was he guilty of some double intrigue?
12419Could n''t you have found a white man in his place?"
12419Could n''t you issue cards later on?"
12419Could we not go there?
12419D''ye hear?
12419D''ye reckon he''s goin''to let his partners get the laugh onter him?
12419D''ye reckon he''s goin''to show his head outer this yer ranch till he can do it square?
12419D''ye reckon, being a sportin''man and a A 1 feller, he''s goin''to waltz down inter that hotel, rigged out ez he is?
12419Did I say I would n''t help you?
12419Did Poindexter know it, or had he only entrapped her into the admission?
12419Did n''t I hunt him a year ago into the brush three miles from the Crossing?
12419Did n''t he tell you so?
12419Did n''t we lose sight of him the very day he turned up yer at this ranch, and got smuggled over into Monterey?
12419Did n''t you come to the camp- fire?"
12419Did n''t you hear him say it?
12419Did you get a book from the exthpreth offithe latht night?"
12419Did you see or hear anything?"
12419Do I want to purchase Los Cuervos?
12419Do n''t it?"
12419Do n''t stay out late; ye might be ran off by some gal, and what would your mother say?"
12419Do n''t you know?"
12419Do n''t you see that smoke rising straight up?
12419Do n''t you see you''re a witness?"
12419Do n''t you see?
12419Do n''t you think so?"
12419Do you believe me?
12419Do you call this honor?
12419Do you hear me?
12419Do you hear?
12419Do you know the Rancho de los Cuervos?"
12419Do you know what that was?
12419Do you know who he is?"
12419Do you refuse?"
12419Do you see?
12419Do you think I could sleep under this roof, propped up by the timbers of that ruined_ tienda_?
12419Do you think I could wear those diamonds again, while that termagant shop- woman can say that her money bought them?
12419Do you think father would let me?"
12419Do you think that I could ever be anything to a man who did not believe in justification by faith, or in the covenant of church fellowship?
12419Do you want to take your death of cold?"
12419Do you wish that I should record it?"
12419Do_ you_ believe it?"
12419Don Josà ©''s face flushed, but he returned carelessly,"And the_ rancho_, naturally you will not buy it now?"
12419Eh, what is that?"
12419Eh, what would you?"
12419Eh?
12419Eh?
12419For what?"
12419Grown a young gal by this time, ai n''t she?''
12419Had Poindexter thought of that?
12419Had he been again carried away through his impulses evoked by the caprices of a pretty coquette and the absurd theories of her half imbecile father?
12419Had he felt during these years any qualms of conscience at this concealment of the child''s sex?
12419Had he really lived in the world without knowing it?
12419Had it been in his blood?
12419Had it brought her all she expected?
12419Has n''t he?"
12419Have you any idea of purchasing this property?"
12419Have you no convictions-- no professions?"
12419Have you no place where you eat and rest and sleep?"
12419Have you nothing to say-- nothing to suggest?"
12419He ca n''t take that value away even if we do n''t sell it to him, and all the while we have the comfort of the dear old Pontiac, do n''t you see?"
12419He had never seen her in her proper garb: would she look like that?
12419He here?"
12419He hesitated, and then propounded over the balusters to the upper story the direct query--"You do n''t happen to have Nellie Wynn up there, do ye?"
12419He told you nothing to tell me?"
12419He was a dishonored fugitive, broken in fortune and reputation-- why should she not desert him?
12419He winced a little-- the sentence of Sleight,"What''s the figure you and she have settled upon?"
12419He would remember his visit, and what would he think of her deceitful frivolity?
12419Hev yer got that?"
12419How account for his presence?
12419How can I tell who you are?"
12419How could he keep the secret from them?
12419How could she write to him if that knowledge was correct?
12419How dared she ask_ your_ help?"
12419How did she know these things about this man, and why had she only now accidentally spoken of them?
12419How do you know all this about him and his-- father?"
12419How goes the honest publican''s trade, and who have we here?"
12419How long ago did he bring in that bearskin?"
12419How otherwise could she trifle with such a situation?
12419How?
12419I intend-- but what are you looking at?"
12419I know thome of the_ voyageurth_ who traded with the Cherokeeth, and your father wath one-- wasn''t he?"
12419I suppose they did n''t tell you how I made the discovery?"
12419I suppose you''d call him an Indian, too?
12419I was only bragging-- do you hear?
12419If he has any offer to dispose of the ship, will you write to me at once before anything is concluded?"
12419If you had cared so much for the ring you could n''t have talked about it, or shown it; could you?"
12419Is all ready?"
12419Is it Luzbel hiding among our Catalan vines, or one of those heathen Americanos from Monterey?
12419Is it not so, my soul?"
12419Is it on account of that Injin?
12419Is it so?"
12419Is it so?"
12419Is that Low''s cabin?"
12419Is that it?"
12419Is that the reason why you have avoided this house?"
12419Is there not room for us to sit and talk without being browbeaten and looked down upon by these supercilious trees?"
12419It is droll, is it not?
12419It is n''t far; it''s warm, and"--"What?"
12419It was a hell of a fight when they dragged the captain-- Oh, what was that?
12419It was mighty cute in the young feller, was n''t it?"
12419It''s a lucky thing, Mr. Renshaw, that they comes into the honest fingers of a square man like Sleight-- ain''t it?"
12419It''s mighty queer, ai n''t it, Teresa, to think of you being my daughter- in- law?"
12419It''s the Judge''s turn, is n''t it?
12419Ith anything wrong over there?"
12419Knowest thou of any mark of clothing, trinket, or amulet found upon the babe?"
12419Looks like a pretty clear case, do n''t it?"
12419May I beg you to accept the enclosed ring as a slight recognition of my obligations to you?
12419May I?"
12419May be you know if she''s here or in Excelsior?"
12419May n''t I?"
12419Mebbe I may have my secrets, too-- eh?"
12419Mebbe yer think I stopped thar?
12419Mebbe you''ll allow the heat was just the nat''ral burning of that pit?"
12419Might she not be dazzled by a picture of this wealth?
12419Might they not meet in the most accidental manner?
12419Miss Nellie was in the settlement, but where?
12419Need it be said that the youth and middle age of Excelsior were madly, because apparently hopelessly, in love with her?
12419Nellie, I heard Brace tell Dunn that he had tracked you in your disguise to the woods-- do you hear?
12419Nevertheless, the hostler''s ostentatious adjuration of"Now then, are n''t you going to bring out that mustang for the Señora?"
12419Now, mebbe you think I built that air fire?
12419Of so many children baptized, is it possible for me to know which, eh?
12419Of what shall it be?
12419Of what was Father Pedro thinking?
12419Of whom dost thou speak?"
12419Oh, you''re listenin'', are you?
12419One was to catch and hang that woman Teresa, who shot him; the other-- can''t you guess the other?"
12419Or if I did not care for the business I could have warned the girl"--"The girl-- what girl?"
12419Or would he be forced to tell her that he was running away from a conspiracy to defraud her father-- merely for something to say?
12419Or would the revelation turn his brain, if it did not kill him outright?
12419P''r''aps yer do n''t know Rosey, eh?
12419P''r''aps yer do n''t know ez Ferrers wants to marry her, and hez been hangin''round yer ever since he left-- eh?"
12419P''r''aps, ye allow,_ you_ know what Rosey is?
12419Perhaps,"she added,"there is some one I can send for?"
12419Presently she again spoke abruptly:"What made you eat that grass, just now?"
12419Presently she asked timidly:"Do you think it wrong to tell another person''s secret for their own good?"
12419Quickly, then; hast thou found Sanchicha?"
12419Say, Flip, do you remember the_ last_--the_ very last_--thing that happened when you said''good- by''on the trail?
12419Seeing that either from indifference or caution he had not accepted her meaning, she looked at him fixedly, and said,--"What is your little game?"
12419Seek her--_her_?
12419Send it on to your aunt Phoebe; sorter make the old folks open their eyes-- oh?
12419Señor Crancho, what do you want?"
12419Shall that foot be yours, Nellie?"
12419She did not avoid it, but added,"And do you kiss them all like that?"
12419She listened to him abstractedly, walked to the end of the corridor, returned, and without looking up, said:"I suppose you know her?"
12419She looked up at him with cheeks that retained enough of their color to suggest why she had hesitated, and said,"_ You_ here, Mr. Renshaw?
12419She looked up suddenly, and said,"How long had he known her?"
12419She mechanically held out her hand for the letter; the American took her little fingers, kissed them, and said:"How are you again?"
12419She suddenly stopped in her walk, approached him rapidly, and fixing her eyes on his, said:"Do I know_ all_, now-- everything?"
12419She takes some friend, perhaps-- some companion?"
12419She was confused and giddy, but, mastering her weakness, she managed to continue in a lower voice:"You have no message for me from him?
12419She would return at once; what was the girl to her now?
12419She''s here, eh-- of course?"
12419Show me your home; tell me, is n''t it a little gloomy sometimes?"
12419Sleight?"
12419So you''re going, are you?
12419Take a piece of pie, wo n''t you?"
12419Tell me, Teresa, is this man Low your lover?"
12419Tell me,"she said, with a strange laugh, laying her cold nervous hand on his,"would n''t they?"
12419Tell me: do you know anybody in Indian Spring who would likely spy upon you?"
12419That was worth something?"
12419That''th a woman''th nonthenth, for how could thee get a retheipt for it?"
12419The banker scarcely glanced at it, but said, impatiently:"Well, your papers?"
12419The friend that you wrote about who wath tho good to you, you know, ca n''t keep you here alwayth; and are you thure you can alwayth trutht her?"
12419The gospel must n''t keep us from that, must it, Charley?
12419The grocery man at Dalton says-- what''s that he said?"
12419The man resumed angrily:"If you know anything, why in h-- ll do n''t you say so, instead of cackling like a d----d squaw there?
12419The reply was characteristic if not satisfactory:"Object?
12419The second speaker, without heeding it, went on:"What in thunder skeert the hosses?
12419The skin-- eh?
12419Then drawing a large wallet from his pocket, he said,"It''s sing''lar ye should hev got the name right the first pop, ai n''t it, Rosey?
12419Then you mean to sell that bearskin, do n''t you?"
12419Then you''re the woman who stabbed Dick Curson over at Lagrange''s?"
12419Then, turning to one of the bystanders,"I say, Patterson, step a few paces this way, will you?
12419There was no attempt to deceive God; what mattered else?
12419There''s my hand, Spence; you''re a trump, even if you are a little looney, eh?
12419They were free from interruption-- but where had he gone?
12419Thou dost remember the baby-- a little_ muchacha_ thou broughtest me then-- fourteen years ago?"
12419To endeavor to prove to her that he really bore no resemblance to Captain Bower, the photographer, the crazy Frenchman De Ferrières?
12419To see you,_ too_?"
12419To the seamen''s trained ears it seemed to have an intelligent significance, for the first voice gravely responded,"Aye, aye?"
12419Tucker glanced uneasily at Patterson, who continued,"Ye ai n''t wanting anything else?"
12419Understand me?
12419Was he a child, to be sent away for such time or for such purpose as best pleased the fathers?
12419Was he mistaken?
12419Was he to know no more than that?
12419Was her momentary glimpse of the outgoing ship a coincidence or only a vision?
12419Was it a beam of sunlight that had pierced the groined roof above, and now rested against the trunk of one of the dimmer, more secluded giants?
12419Was it a picnic of some people from Monterey or Santa Cruz?
12419Was it a week ago since-- since what?
12419Was it an accident, or was it an intentional signal to him?
12419Was it an omen?
12419Was it due to another of Mr. Nott''s unprofitable tenants-- the rats?
12419Was it her own breathing, quickened with a sudden nameless terror?
12419Was it the old man?"
12419Was it the splash of a rat in the bilge, or what?
12419Was n''t you armed?
12419Was she awake, or had she wandered away unconsciously in the night?
12419Was she not a prisoner?
12419Was she?
12419Was there ever such folly?
12419Was this like the calm, proud young god she knew?
12419Was this romantic girl only a little coquette playing her provincial airs on him?
12419Wast thou ashamed, my Pancho?"
12419Well, d''ye hear, Flip?
12419Well, how much is it?
12419What are you glowerin''at?
12419What are you going to do about it?"
12419What are you going to do now?"
12419What are you thinking of?
12419What deep- laid plans might he not form to possess himself of Rosey, of which he, Abner Nott, would be ignorant?
12419What did she see through that shadow?
12419What did you kneel for?"
12419What do I say?
12419What does it matter to me?"
12419What else could I have done for Mademoiselle''s kindness?"
12419What had he done to suffer this mortification?
12419What had she been once?
12419What had she come for?
12419What has happened?"
12419What has happened?"
12419What have you got to prove it?
12419What if he had not come here?
12419What if he should return-- if he had already returned?
12419What if her rash interpretation of his absence from the wood that night was simple madness?
12419What if she had been mistaken?
12419What if she revealed the truth to him?
12419What if the Father Superior deemed it necessary to impart the secret to Francisco?
12419What if the poor creature had determined upon suicide on the spot where her faithless lover had fallen?
12419What is it you want?"
12419What is it?
12419What poor girl in Vineville have you left pining?"
12419What shall we speak of?
12419What shall you call the work of a gentleman-- this"--he dragged the pile of cushions forward--"or this?"
12419What should he say to her?
12419What spirit passed before him, or slowly shaped itself out of the infinite blackness of the wood?
12419What was he waiting for now?
12419What was that panting?
12419What was that?
12419What will the world think of your sacred quest, eh?"
12419What''s gone with ye?"
12419What''s his line of business, Teresa?"
12419What''s that got to do with where she is now?"
12419What''s that?"
12419What''s the figure you and she have settled on?"
12419What''s the matter?
12419What''th the row?
12419What, indeed, could he say to her with his present imperfect knowledge?
12419When he had finished, he hesitated, and then taking Rosey''s hand, said impulsively,"You will not be angry with me if I tell you all?
12419When he knew that the life and death of his father lay in the scale, would he let his brief, foolish passion for Nellie stand in the way?
12419When she had dabbled her feet a few moments in the pool, she said over her shoulder--"We can talk just as well, ca n''t we?"
12419When the coach stopped at Blazing Star she asked him, indifferently:"When does this sentimental pilgrimage begin?"
12419Where are you going?"
12419Where did it come from?
12419Where was she?
12419Where''s Ferrers?"
12419Who was"Miss Nellie"?
12419Who would be the wiser for it?
12419Who''s going to bring it in?
12419Who?
12419Why did he not call after them?
12419Why did he not speak?
12419Why did n''t you answer my message about the ring?"
12419Why did n''t you go for him?"
12419Why did n''t you say that first?
12419Why had he not gone at once?
12419Why had he not thought of this before?
12419Why had she given her word that she would remain at the rancho until he returned?
12419Why had she not been clever enough to make him think that she knew it already?
12419Why should he remember he was handicapped by a pretty woman and a pathetic episode?
12419Why should he try to pass her off as anybody else?
12419Why should he?"
12419Why should she change now?
12419Why should she feel angry with her poor father''s unhappy offering?
12419Why should she not use her own, her husband''s name?
12419Why was it necessary to say he might not see her again-- and if he had said it, why should he add anything more?
12419Why was so much stress laid upon his finding it?
12419Why was this added to the agony she already suffered?
12419Why, do you believe he wants to hire me for my grub and liquor, to act as a sort of sentry over you and the ranch?"
12419Why, find''em, and preserve all the different ones for you to write under-- that''s it, is n''t it?"
12419Why, what''s the matter with you all?"
12419Why, what''s up?"
12419Why, wot''s this sticking in his claws?"
12419Why,"she demanded almost fiercely, turning from the one to the other,"has this been kept from me?"
12419Why?"
12419Why?"
12419Will it be said so, think you?
12419Will you dry up?
12419Will you please take your hand from the lock and open the door?"
12419Will you swear that there is n''t a young girl, his-- his sweetheart-- concealed there with you?"
12419Will you take the invitation-- yes or no?"
12419Will you walk on, and-- take my arm?
12419With an assumption of falling in with his friend''s manner, rather than from any personal anxiety, he continued,"Well?"
12419With blazing eyes he spurred his horse beside the Spaniard, almost unseating him, and said sternly,"What does this mean?"
12419With such gifts as God had given him, was he not at least to have some word in disposing of them?
12419With this the banker will make you poor, the lawyer will prove you a thief, the doctor will swear you are crazy, eh?
12419Wot''s your hurry, pardner?"
12419Would he believe that she was then ignorant of the failure?
12419Would n''t it have been ridiculous?"
12419Would she be as tall?
12419Would the child recoil at the deception, and, perhaps, cease to love him?
12419Would they-- would Low ever realize it, and forgive her?
12419Would this miserable and maddened man understand her self- abnegation?
12419Would ye mind takin''a letter from me to Rosey, and bringin''back an answer?"
12419You abandon your client''s mistress for the wife, is it so?"
12419You are not frightened?"
12419You did not come here to seek her?"
12419You expect to recognize_ him_?"
12419You have saved yourself like a plucky woman-- shall I say like Blue Grass?
12419You have seen her?"
12419You hear me?
12419You know your young friend of the Carquinez Woods-- Dorman, the botanist, eh?
12419You read, do n''t you-- I mean English?"
12419You remember the first day I saw you when you startled me by coming up out of the hatch?"
12419You think so now, do n''t you?
12419You wo n''t?
12419You''d do him a good turn, would n''t you?"
12419You''re a d----d smart man for a sheriff, ai n''t you?"
12419You''re not a botanist, are you?"
12419You''ve got a claim of five thousand dollars against the property, have n''t you?"
12419_ He_ had discovered it-- why should he give it up to anybody?
12419_ what_ man are you speaking of?"
12419and what is she?
12419are you crazy, man?"
12419asked Francisco quickly, opening his blue eyes in frank curiosity;"who is fire, and who is tow?"
12419asked the Padre, with a sudden and strange asperity that boded no good to the penitent;"the child thus ruthlessly abandoned-- what became of it?"
12419buy the whole shop, Mrs. Spencer Tucker, do you hear?
12419continued the girl;"but what killed him?"
12419could he not anticipate her there?
12419could it be?
12419does not Mademoiselle comprehend that it is_ because_ I am a gentleman that there is nothing between it and this?
12419echoed Sleight as if absently;"news of what?"
12419he ai n''t the right breed, is he?"
12419he said hastily;"these proofs, Señor?"
12419he said huskily,"is it not?"
12419he said, with infinite archness;"that''s your game, is it?
12419interrupted Teresa in a high voice and a sudden and utterly gratuitous indignation;"how should she?
12419or was there something outside?
12419she repeated, maliciously,"was n''t it?
12419stranger, what are you shooting at?"
12419was that all?
12419what availed instinctive chivalry against main strength?
12419what have we here fit for a lady?"
12419what is this?"
12419what''s that?"
12419what''s up now?
12419what''th up?
12419what_ should_ we speak of in Mademoiselle''s presence?"
4294A Prince Albert has no swallow- tails?
4294And did you see the Jew?
4294Aw me lad, h''and where did your father get''is blooming costume?
4294Did she keep a guard, then?
4294Dutchy, I have decided to adopt you as my only son; have you ever bucked a wood saw?
4294Hi, Dutchy, and have yez any tin?
4294How do I know? 4294 How do you know that?"
4294Is it possible,said I, astonished,"that there are orange groves in bloom in this vicinity?"
4294Is this possible; can this be true?
4294Muchas gracias, senor Americana,said Don Juan,"quien sabe?"
4294Oh, mamma,I faltered,"will papa die?"
4294Oh, now I see,an idea flashing through my mind;"it has cock- tails, has it, mamma, and it ca n''t swallow them, can it, mamma?"
4294That coyote is driven by Indians,said he;"do you think you can hit it at this distance?"
4294Was it a man?
4294Wilhelm, do you wish the king to see my stockings then?
4294''And what use have you for the Indian?''
4294Again the man laughed and said,"Do you know what killed him?"
4294And where did that Dago pill come from now?
4294Did you come out of that store?"
4294Do you really think I shall need those?"
4294Else why should he, as is well known, favor the jointure of New Mexico and Arizona into one State?
4294Had he not shown the people how to do business in a convenient and easy manner?
4294Had he not told them time and again that their handwriting was better than gold?
4294Had this gringo not always accepted their signatures as a legal tender for the payment of their debts?
4294How could he avoid it?
4294How could it have been otherwise?
4294How on earth did you manage to escape them?
4294I should be very sorry for your poor old mother and your crippled sister, for who will support them if you should fail them?
4294Of course your mother kept the door carefully locked to keep you boys from foraging?"
4294Then the youngest girl laughed and said,"Oh, you pore, innicent bairn, and how do yez ken all this?
4294Was I, then, like unto this Indian, to take an enemy''s life from ambush?
4294What can keep an Irishman down in the ditch when bullets are flying in air,"murmuring dirges"and"shells are shrieking requiems?"
4294What, then, did this lying gringo mean by resorting to the trickery of the United States law courts and the power and services of the county sheriff?
4294When I said to uncle,"No wonder that our business prospers under this mark-- God help us!--but say, who helps our customers?"
4294When the girls had ceased laughing, Rose said,"What did your mother tell you when you left for America?"
4294Whence came the isolated great chunk of silver at Turkey Creek, valued at many thousands?
4294Where are you?
4294Why did he wrest their property from them?
4294You may readily imagine an Irishman on the firing line, poking his head above the ground, exclaiming:"Did yez see that?
4294he exclaimed in startled surprise,"where on earth did you get this-- er-- trousseau?
4294oh and where is me brooch?
23296''In''where?
23296A clinging vine that has nothing to cling to sprawls on the ground, does n''t it?
23296A little homesick, are n''t you?
23296Abram, are you twitting me?
23296Abram,reproachfully,"have I ever failed you?
23296Ai n''t you got a howdy for me, kid?
23296Am I late, father?
23296Am I?
23296And then?
23296And was she?
23296And you do n''t care for anything that does n''t get you something?
23296And you imagine I''ll tell you?
23296And you live out here by yourself, without any other woman? 23296 And your wife?"
23296And,incredulously,"the fact that we love each other does n''t count?"
23296Any mail for the herders?
23296Anything I can do, ma''am?
23296Are n''t you well? 23296 Are you expecting to see much of her?"
23296Are you going to try and raffle that?
23296Are you hungry, Jap?
23296Are you, Hughie?
23296As much as that?
23296Bad as that?
23296Baggage?
23296Beautiful?
23296Bum?
23296But ca n''t you see,she pleaded,"that it''s ruin to ship now?
23296But how?
23296But is n''t it dangerous?
23296But not enough, eh?
23296But tell me, Jap, what went wrong this morning?
23296But why would they?
23296But why?
23296But would n''t you be afraid he''d get lonesome out there with nobody passin''?
23296But you will, wo n''t you?
23296But you will-- you''ll promise me? 23296 But you wo n''t lay down,"Teeters pleaded,"even if they pull against you?"
23296But you''re going to tell me, Pete? 23296 But, Kate, is it worth the price you''ll pay for it?"
23296By whom?
23296Can anyone be alive in it?
23296Can we do anything-- such a night?
23296Care? 23296 Come fur?"
23296Confound you-- can''t you let a feller sleep?
23296Could n''t you interest anybody?
23296Could you fix a place for him to eat? 23296 Did n''t Uncle Joe come?"
23296Did n''t anybody want it, Jap?
23296Did she beller?
23296Did you hear that shot? 23296 Did you-- really?"
23296Disagreeable? 23296 Do n''t know anything about finance, do you?"
23296Do n''t you ever listen when I talk to you?
23296Do you know them?
23296Do you know what I think?
23296Do you know--to Kate, with all her social manner--"you are deliciously unique?"
23296Do you mean I''m lazy because I did n''t take that job?
23296Do you mean to say,incredulously,"that since you know who did it, he''ll ever have another opportunity?"
23296Do you quite realize what you are asking?
23296Do you recall any reason, as you look back, why I should grant this favor that you ask?
23296Do you remember the Sand Coulee, Pete?--the Sand Coulee Roadhouse where you used to stop?
23296Do you remember the day when you were here before that we met those people driving a band of sheep-- a man and a barefooted girl in overalls?
23296Do you think I''ve been planning and working to this end all these years to weaken at your first outcry? 23296 Do you think that''s-- wise?"
23296Do you want to go?
23296Emptied my sack?
23296Even in a small community one must keep up the social bars and preserve the traditions of one''s up- bringing, must n''t one?
23296For what length of time?
23296Girl? 23296 Goin''fur?"
23296Good God, Kate,exclaimed the woman irritably;"how many times must I tell you to unhook the traces before you do up the lines?
23296Good?
23296Got a piece called''The Yella Rose o''Texas Beats the Belles o''Tennessee''?
23296Got--''Whur the Silver Colorady Wends its Way''?
23296Guess what that Boston woolbuyer is offering me?
23296H- had we better stay?
23296Has anybody here seen Kelly?
23296Has he-- er-- anything definite in view?
23296Have n''t we?
23296Have you seen-- a-- Miss Prentice lately?
23296He is still living, then? 23296 How are you, sir?"
23296How are you?
23296How can we? 23296 How can you interest clods who have no imagination?"
23296How could it be otherwise when just being together is happiness?
23296How do you do, my dear?
23296How do you mean-- curious?
23296How do you think I feel,ferociously,"with my stomach slumping in so I can hardly straighten up?"
23296How is she?
23296How soon can you furnish me with the data you may have on hand?
23296How''d I know,he demanded shrewdly,"that you''d ever come back to redeem me?"
23296How''re you?
23296How''s that?
23296How''s the new herder doing?
23296How?
23296How?
23296Human?
23296I been sick?
23296I been-- loony?
23296I do n''t suppose I can convince you that I am very fond of you, and that I shall feel badly if you leave like this?
23296I had to give some security, had n''t I?
23296I hope I did n''t keep you awake with my singin''?
23296I hope you''re not busy-- that I''m not bothering?
23296I hope,with a deprecatory gesture of his white hand,"you are not laying that up against us, Miss Prentice?
23296I presume it''s equally true, Mr. Toomey, that the completion of the project means considerable to the town?
23296I presume you do that, too?
23296I presume you think you have your answer?
23296I realize, of course,he admitted candidly,"that naturally there would be situations which would be difficult for you at first; but what of that?
23296I suppose you are the new herder?
23296I suppose,Teeters ventured guilelessly,"them things is handier than skirts to git over fences and do chores in?"
23296I take it you consent?
23296I told you whose call to return and whose not to-- you found my judgment good, did n''t you?
23296I''ve been enormously interested-- however do you do it?
23296In the_ Grit_--haven''t you seen it? 23296 In what way?"
23296Is it necessary, Miss Prentice, that you have this money at once?
23296Is it so that you are not going to do any more about the murder of my uncle?
23296Is it?
23296Is n''t it awful, Jap, to think of us being like this?
23296Is n''t it wonderful?
23296Is n''t there some other way-- some concession that we can make?
23296Is that an ultimatum?
23296Is that customary, or because you do n''t like my looks?
23296Is that the truth? 23296 Is them all kin o''yourn?"
23296Is there much water- hemlock in the gulch this summer?
23296Is this a joke?
23296It''s nothing to you whether I come or not?
23296Jap?
23296Jest wanted me close? 23296 Just weigh up them letters, will you?"
23296Katie-- Katie Prentice, is this wonderful girl you?
23296Lease it?
23296Lemme be-- can''t you?
23296Lost your nerve?
23296May I be of service, brother?
23296Me?
23296Might as well take it in, might n''t we?
23296Mis''Taylor, do you think the sperrits are goin''to take holt?
23296Mr. Chairman, may I have a word?
23296Night''fore last was tol''able chilly in your wagon, I reckon?
23296No good reason then is there to keep me out?
23296No?
23296Nooned here, I reckon?
23296Not come? 23296 Not to say friend, exactly,"was the dry answer,"but what- fer- a- yarn have you made up about that feller?"
23296Now what for an outfit''s that?
23296Now who could be writin''to me?
23296Of what, for instance?
23296Oh, Mister!?
23296Oh, Mister, where are you?
23296Oh, did they?
23296Oh, you have-- have you? 23296 Old Pete wins again, eh, Kate?"
23296One thing more-- Where does Kate Prentice''s father live? 23296 Or would you have lettuce with roquefort cheese dressing, Abram?"
23296Ought n''t you to go to him?
23296Own it?
23296Please-- please, Mister, wo n''t you speak?
23296Priscilla, will you do me a favor?
23296Refused me? 23296 Say, Old Girl, how long will it take you to pack your war- bag when I get this deal pulled off?
23296She might as well eat her supper, might n''t she?
23296She''s made if I take her up, and the woman is n''t so stupid as not to know it, is she?
23296So you lied when you joined the Outfit and I asked you?
23296So-- the Sheep Queen is ostracized?
23296Stay here?
23296Sunnin''yourself, Major?
23296Take the next proposition: What''s the use of car- lines that begin nowhere and end nowhere? 23296 Teeters?"
23296Tell me the truth-- didn''t you send for it?
23296Tell me,she beamed brightly upon Mrs. Toomey,"what have you been doing with yourself?"
23296Tell you what?
23296The deputy sheriff?
23296There was no proof?
23296They were married, Pete?
23296They would n''t come?
23296Think of something pleasant-- what are we going to do this evening?
23296Think so?
23296This Mormon Joe-- what became of him?
23296This is Miss Prentice, is n''t it?
23296Tired of trailing sheep, Katie, or do you think you might have company?
23296Visitin''?
23296Want a warsh?
23296Want it?
23296Want to feed all day in the same spot? 23296 Was that you makin''that comical noise?"
23296Well?
23296Were you, Bowers?
23296Were you?
23296Wha''s the matter?
23296What are you looking at, Davis?
23296What are you looking for, Jap?
23296What did he say, Jap?
23296What did they say about it?
23296What did they want, Jap, that''s so upset you?
23296What did you say?
23296What do you mean by that?
23296What do you mean, Lingle?
23296What do you mean?
23296What do you mean?
23296What do you mean?
23296What do you mean?
23296What do you mean?
23296What do you think I heard to- day, Abram?
23296What do you think?
23296What do you want done with that feller in the pen?
23296What do you want me to do?
23296What do you want with so much?
23296What do you want, anyhow?
23296What fer a looker is she?
23296What for?
23296What for?
23296What has changed you so much, Kate-- what in particular?
23296What if there should be some slip- up, Jap? 23296 What is it you want of me?"
23296What is it you want to do, Kate? 23296 What is my class?
23296What is there to say, Jap?
23296What made you think that?
23296What makes''em so slow with that order?
23296What will you have to drink?
23296What you doin''here?
23296What you throwing a bluff like this for, anyhow? 23296 What''s a bank for if not to encourage legitimate enterprises in the community upon which it depends for its business?
23296What''s made you think it wo n''t?
23296What''s the matter now, Mrs. Kill- joy? 23296 What''s the matter?
23296What''s the matter?
23296What''s the matter?
23296What''s the matter?
23296What''s the row?
23296What''s the use?
23296What''s this?
23296What-- what would anybody hurt me for?
23296What? 23296 What?"
23296Where am I, anyhow?
23296Where are you?
23296Where did you get the money?
23296Where did you git it, Mullendore?
23296Where have you been?
23296Where is he?
23296Where is he?
23296Where would I be''cept huntin''stock?
23296Where you going?
23296Where you taking them?
23296Where''ll Oleson hold his sheep?
23296Which one?
23296Who do you suppose I met to- day when I was hunting horses?
23296Who knows?
23296Who to?
23296Who told you that?
23296Who told you?
23296Who''s she?
23296Who''s there?
23296Who?
23296Whole ones? 23296 Whom do you mean?"
23296Why are n''t you at the show?
23296Why did n''t you follow me?
23296Why did n''t you let me know you was comin''?
23296Why did n''t you tell me?
23296Why do n''t you git some good music?
23296Why do n''t you say something?
23296Why do n''t you take a shovel, Bunch?
23296Why do n''t you take somethin''?
23296Why not a bow- wow from the night- lunch cart I noticed in the alley? 23296 Why not in Prouty?"
23296Why not let me stay and you go down to the wagons?
23296Why should n''t I? 23296 Why the chinook?"
23296Why?
23296Why?
23296Why?
23296Will you step here, please?
23296Will you tell Katie something that she wants to know, if she kisses you, Pete Mullendore?
23296Will you tell me what progress you''re making? 23296 Wo n''t I?"
23296Wo n''t you git off?
23296Wonder if I could get a drink of water?
23296Would I like to go?
23296Would n''t them alkali bogs breedin''a billion''no- see-''ems''a second be kind of a drawback?
23296Would you do something for me if I kissed you-- if Katie Prentice kissed you, Pete Mullendore?
23296Yes?
23296You are always doing something nice for me, are n''t you?
23296You are married, then?
23296You care as much as that? 23296 You do love me?"
23296You do n''t say?
23296You do n''t?
23296You have n''t tried, have you?
23296You know my daughter, of course?
23296You know that scheme I told you about last night?
23296You mean ship the sheep?
23296You mean that?
23296You mean you do n''t want to tell me?
23296You mean-- he''s dead-- he wo n''t come back here-- ever?
23296You were wondering just then what your wife was doing that minute, were n''t you?
23296You work with the men-- just like one of them?
23296You would n''t?
23296You''ll excuse me if I go on getting dinner? 23296 You''ll go, wo n''t you?"
23296You''re not happy, Bowers?
23296You''ve never refused me anything that I really wanted badly, and I''ve never asked much, have I?
23296You-- goaded her,"And you defend her?
23296You-- you would retain me as president?
23296--he did this?"
23296A look of suspicion crossed her face, and there was a little less solicitude in her voice as she inquired:"Is it anything in particular?
23296After waiting a reasonable time for the invitation which should have been forthcoming, the Major inquired:"They''re-- sociable, ai n''t they?"
23296Ai n''t you got a kiss for Pete?"
23296Ai n''t you no conscience a- tall, Mary?"
23296Aloud she said:"Really?"
23296And ai n''t I been a mother to you, giving up all my air- tight milk to feed you?
23296And coffee?
23296And just one more good play-- what, after all, did it really matter?
23296And that curious phenomenon-- that feeling of confidence and exultation that she had had away back-- when was it?
23296And what would Mrs. Pantin think?
23296And women do need each other in trouble, do n''t they?"
23296Anything I can do for you, Teeters?"
23296Are n''t you lonely?"
23296Are you alone?"
23296Are you goin''to town anyways soon?"
23296As Mrs. Taylor droned a familiar camp- meeting hymn, Mullendore opened his eyes and looked at her dully:"Who are you?"
23296Bad news from home?"
23296Between friends?
23296Bowers advanced a step and demanded fiercely of Lingle:"Do n''t you know nothin''--not no damned nothin''?"
23296Bowers, who was staying with Mullendore, came out of the wagon when he heard her and asked:"How was it lookin''?"
23296But why did they treat her so?
23296But why this sudden change of opinion?
23296But, after all, he demanded of himself, what did a girl want to know such things for?
23296But,"with a quaver in her voice,"do n''t you want me to go, Uncle Joe?"
23296By the way, Major, have you seen Lingle?
23296Ca n''t you borrow?"
23296Ca n''t you cry without wiggling your nose?"
23296Ca n''t you see the grass is different here?
23296Ca n''t you understand what it means to me-- going through life with people thinking--""You got the money, did n''t you?"
23296Can you show me one?"
23296Could he have an option?
23296Could she stand it?
23296Did Mr. and Mrs. Toomey come?
23296Did he mean to leave her alone?
23296Did n''t her friendship satisfy him any longer?
23296Did she entertain resentment because of it?
23296Did she mean anything in particular?
23296Did they wish to see their wives naked and their children hungry?
23296Did you tell me there was no meat in it?"
23296Disston straightened and asked quickly:"Who''s that, Jap?
23296Do I look-- queer?"
23296Do n''t I always get what I go after?"
23296Do n''t you suppose I know what I''m talking about?
23296Do you like turnips?"
23296Do you quite realize what failure means, coming at this time?
23296Do you think so?"
23296Do you understand it, Hugh?"
23296Do you?"
23296Does n''t it hurt it?"
23296Ever since he had established the paper he had been a worm, and what had it got him?
23296Got plenty of cartridges?
23296Had Prouty, along with other things, robbed her of the capacity for enjoyment?
23296Had he been dreaming?
23296Had it crushed out of her the last remnant of the spirit of youth?
23296Had she any feeling which would lead her to use her influence to their detriment?
23296Had she shaken her fist at the Almighty in so doing, when she should have bowed her head and folded her hands in resignation?
23296Have n''t you any honor-- not a speck?"
23296Have you met this here Toomey?"
23296Having said a silent grace, Mr. Pantin inquired mechanically:"Will you have a chop, Prissy?"
23296He asked finally:"Et yet?"
23296He asked:"You remember what I said at the Boosters''Club the other night?"
23296He considered a moment, then mocked,"Got religion?"
23296He demanded eagerly,"How clost have I come to it?"
23296He looked at"Doc"Fussel, who shrivelled with the chagrin that filled him, when Toomey added,"That settles the peppermint bog, does n''t it?
23296He managed finally:"Are you joshin''?"
23296He muttered thickly:"What for?"
23296He rolled the chewed end of his cigar between his yellow snags of teeth and asked insolently:"What case you talkin''about?"
23296He shrugged a shoulder, then asked teasingly:"Well-- what were you thinking of doing about it?"
23296He took her hand and looked at her searchingly:"Is that my answer?"
23296He turned his head quickly and asked with a sharp note in his voice:"Where?"
23296He''d care for me like that?
23296Her breathing was labored as she demanded:"You-- mean-- that-- you''ll-- not-- tell me anything more unless I do what you ask?"
23296How are Svenson''s lambs doing?"
23296How could you know?
23296How else account for this sudden independence?
23296How''d you like a cigarette?"
23296How''s she standin''it?"
23296How''s the case comin''?"
23296Hughie''s eyes sparkled:"They stopped here, then?"
23296I ai n''t that good, am I?"
23296In polite inquiry,"Whur?"
23296In spite of the different spelling of the name, was there, perchance, some relationship?
23296In the meanwhile, interested observers of the meeting were saying to each other cynically:"Nothing succeeds like success, does it?"
23296Is it money, Pete?"
23296Is n''t there some peace?
23296Is n''t there some way-- something I can do for you?
23296Is there any gentleman present who will tell me that what''s been done in Germany, ca n''t be done in Wyoming?"
23296Is there any way I could talk to him?"
23296Is there anything I can do for you?
23296Is there anything in particular?"
23296Is this the end of me-- Katie Prentice?
23296It would be that way, would n''t it, Hughie?"
23296It''s a dollar a ticket, is n''t it?"
23296It''s because it''s for you-- isn''t it curious?"
23296Kate laid her hand upon the older woman''s shoulder and searched her face:"Is my friendship an embarrassment to you?"
23296Kate raised her beautifully arched eyebrows and questioned:"Yes?"
23296Kate raised herself higher on her elbow and called sharply:"Bowers?"
23296Kate, who detected the sneer, but had no social manner to meet it, asked brusquely:"In what way?"
23296Looking into her eyes she demanded:"You do n''t believe I did it, do you?"
23296Mother,"with entreaty in her voice,"wo n''t_ you_ settle him if he gets fresh?"
23296Mr. Pantin was silent so long that she thought the battle was over, and purred at him:"You can realize how I feel about it, ca n''t you, darling?"
23296Mrs. Pantin looked at her husband fixedly:"Why this deep interest, Abram?"
23296Mrs. Toomey got out a frightened:"Really?"
23296Mrs. Toomey had a notion that if she attempted to stand her legs would behave like two sticks of wet macaroni, yet she questioned defiantly:"Why not?"
23296Mrs. Toomey''s quavering voice rose to the upper register:"Do you suppose I care how I look when I feel like this?"
23296Neifkins?
23296Oh, Uncle Joe, where are you?"
23296Ol''friends are the best friends-- ain''t they?"
23296One of the already large army that have paid with their lives in just such circumstances for their loyalty, or their bad judgment?
23296Or an attempt to intimidate and worry her by someone whose enmity she had incurred?
23296Out here one forgets one''s ego, does n''t one?"
23296Prentiss watched a smoke ring rise before he asked:"Why did they do that?"
23296Rather pathetic, is n''t it?"
23296Remember the bear hides you brought in that spring Katie left?"
23296Sabe?"
23296Security?
23296Seeing Teeters was about to say something further, the Major interrupted:"What might I call your name, sir?"
23296Send a paper with it, will you?"
23296She demanded imperiously:"Yes or no?"
23296She detected the evasion and persisted:"But you think I''d look nicer in dresses, do n''t you?"
23296She had become a self- acknowledged toady, a spineless sycophant, and for what?
23296She lived alone with Mormon Joe, did n''t she?"
23296She looked at him wistfully, and with a note of entreaty in her voice asked:"Why do n''t you camp here to- night, Mister?"
23296She looked crestfallen, so he asked obligingly:"Where did all of this happen?"
23296She nodded towards the wagon,"How is he?"
23296She persisted:"Who was it?"
23296She regarded him with a faint inscrutable smile until Bowers interrupted:"How many bells shall I put on them yearlin''s?"
23296She turned to him after a while:"Do you like me, Bowers?"
23296She waited a moment for an explanation but, since it was not forthcoming, asked anxiously:"What''s the matter, Jap?"
23296She was shivering as with a chill as she walked closer and asked in a hoarse whisper:"What would you suggest-- exactly?"
23296Should they sit quietly and starve like a lost tribe wandering in the desert?
23296So the tailor had flitted?
23296So you''ve dug that up to worry about?
23296Sober?"
23296Some way of dulling it until my heart stops beating?"
23296Speak up, Little Sunbeam, and tell Papa what you got on your chest?"
23296Still he was silent, and she demanded:"Are n''t you surprised?"
23296Taking one of her thin hands between both of hers she said, pleadingly:"You will be my friend, wo n''t you?
23296Taking umbrage at the asperity of her tone, he replied impudently:"Well-- I do n''t know you from a crow, do I?"
23296Taylor?"
23296Teeters,"earnestly,"why do n''t you put your money in somethin''substantial-- stock in the Ditch Company, or Prouty real estate?"
23296The Gov''nor continued:"The gentle murmur of the brook, the noisy rumble of rapids, the thundering roar of mighty cataracts-- can you beat it?"
23296The Major asked in instant interest:"Oh, you''re workin''for that wealthy eastern outfit?"
23296The Major waited for further information, but since it was not forthcoming he ventured:"What might I call your name, sir?"
23296The cowboy laughed so appreciatively that the Major inquired ingratiatingly:"I bleeve your face is a stranger to me, ai n''t it?"
23296The girl at the fence cried aghast:"Oh, what''s she going to do?"
23296The soft voice, which was one of her many charms, was distinctly shrill as she reiterated:"I say, will this everlasting wind_ never stop blowing_?"
23296The stranger asked innocently:"Who does this Outfit belong to?"
23296The town had given her rather a hard deal in some ways, all were ready to admit that, but had she felt it?
23296Then he asked again with an expression she could not interpret,"You''re sure you''d ruther I give up that than anything else on earth?"
23296Then she asked with quiet deliberation:"Well enough to-- marry me?"
23296Then, brusquely:"We might as well come to the point and have it over-- do you know them sheep''s mortgaged?"
23296Then, fixing her troubled eyes upon him she asked hesitatingly:"Did he-- say when I could expect him?"
23296Then, looking at him searchingly, she added:"Tell me the truth, Hughie-- haven''t you thought something of this yourself?"
23296Then,"You will excuse me?"
23296Then:"What''s it to you?
23296Think I want to climb up there and pry you out o''the rocks?
23296This is Woman''s Day, is n''t it?"
23296This time, apparently, Mrs. Pantin expected an answer, so Kate asked bluntly:"What for?"
23296This wind-- isn''t it dreadful?
23296Toomey''s thin lips curled superciliously as he glanced at it and tossed it across the breakfast table:"Here, Hughie, why do n''t you take this in?"
23296Toomey?"
23296Toomey?"
23296Toomey?"
23296Warmin''it fer you and packin''you''round like you was a million- dollar baby so the bobcats wo n''t git you-- kin you deny it?
23296Was he growing discontented?
23296Was it cattle, loose horses, or some one coming that way?
23296Was it his appearance or his personality?
23296Was it long until morning, she wondered?
23296Was it possible that there had been a time when she had debated as to whether she wanted to know Mrs. Abram Pantin at all?
23296Was it the hoax of some local humorist?
23296Was n''t she all right?
23296Was n''t there anybody sincere or kind or disinterested?
23296Was n''t there anything in the world any more but trouble for people who had no money?
23296Was she being punished, she wondered, for protesting against the life the Fates appeared to have mapped out for her?
23296Was she old, already hopelessly old at heart?
23296Was she strong enough to meet it?
23296Was she to become another of those that the first chinook uncovered?
23296Was this human nature when one understood it?
23296Was this what the world was like if one were out in it?
23296We are older now, and wiser, are n''t we?"
23296Wentz asked sullenly, as he paced the floor:"How about the sheep, if this keeps up?"
23296Wentz?"
23296Wha''ll you have?"
23296What ails you?"
23296What did it matter that she did not know how to pour tea gracefully and preside at a dinner table?
23296What did it mean, since there had not been the slightest hint that Toomey and Prentiss were not the warmest of friends?
23296What did it mean?
23296What do you spose I want?
23296What do you think of it?"
23296What do you want to know?"
23296What effect would the relationship have upon their personal interests?
23296What had she done?
23296What is it?"
23296What is money for, if not to spend on some one you love?"
23296What she said was the right and sensible thing, of course, but was she, as she seemed, quite without sentiment?
23296What was that, Honey?"
23296What was the lamb doing not to be about his feet begging for the condensed milk which he always prepared for it when his own meal was finished?
23296What was the matter?
23296What were they going to do about it?
23296What would I stay for?"
23296What would anybody waste sympathy on her kind for?"
23296What would life be without her now?
23296What would she say if she knew the reason he had brought her there?
23296What you goin''to do if you have to feed?"
23296What you playin''?"
23296What''s money good for to me?
23296Whatever had prompted her to make the empty boast that he would know her before she left Omaha?
23296Whatever made you do that?"
23296Whatever the motive, was it possible that any one knew her so little as to believe they could frighten her in any such manner?
23296Whatever was detaining her?
23296Whatever was the matter?
23296When he had disparaged and insulted Kate, why had Prentiss not resented it verbally, knocked him down?
23296When she could speak--"You''ll love me for always, Hughie?"
23296When their merriment had subsided, she demanded:"Do n''t you like my overalls?"
23296Where did you get it?"
23296Where was he?
23296Where''s it hurting the worst?"
23296Who do you think of inviting to meet her?"
23296Who is Neifkins''s herder?"
23296Who is it?"
23296Who was objecting?
23296Whur you roamin''to now?
23296Whur''d you been at if I had n''t heard you blattin''and went after you?
23296Why ca n''t I help you?"
23296Why did n''t you let me know?"
23296Why had he made a secret of their relationship?
23296Why not make it a sheep number exclusively?
23296Why put it off any longer?
23296Why?"
23296Will you promise to wait until I return?"
23296Will you take a message to Lingle?"
23296With a swift transition of mood Toomey demanded haughtily:"Gue''sh you don''know who I am?"
23296Without her?
23296Wo n''t somebody come to me?"
23296Wo n''t you-- all come and join us?"
23296Would Prouty stand for it-- the eulogy he contemplated?
23296Yet she could not exactly blame herself, for who could have foreseen that things would turn out like this?
23296Yet, somehow, the boy managed to say with his manner of deferential courtesy:"Mrs. Pantin, do you know Miss Prentice?"
23296You borrowed from her?"
23296You ca n''t remember at all, can you, Pete?"
23296You could let them have that, could n''t you?"
23296You got off, did n''t you?"
23296You mortgaged it?"
23296You think Dibert''s all right, do you?"
23296You wo n''t go back on me, will you?"
23296You''ll give up this?"
23296You''re a friend of her''n, ai n''t you?"
23296You''re goin''to take it, ai n''t you?"
23296You''re more afraid of the Old Man than you are of dyin''--ain''t it the truth, Isabelle?"
37271Am I growling, Jack? 37271 And if I go wrong you''ll help me meet the consequences, even though you would rather I chose the other way?"
37271And you do feel it your duty this time, do n''t you, Frieda?
37271But I do n''t feel like a daughter to you, Jim, and never have, certainly not as a little girl, so why should I begin now? 37271 But are the men practicing lassoing this afternoon?
37271But suppose I should want to do something? 37271 But suppose it would not do me harm, but bring me great happiness, what then?"
37271But suppose they do n''t go well? 37271 But what do you desire then, Jacqueline Kent?
37271But what is the great career to be?
37271But you have n''t anything_ different_ to say, have you, Frieda, so why let us talk of it at all?
37271But you will let me see you attempt it again? 37271 Can that be a herd of horses or cattle stampeding there toward the east, Jim?
37271Do you suppose things quieted down as soon as I disappeared?
37271Do you think we will know to- night without doubt?
37271Do you think, Mrs. Kent, a fellow is apt to forget a girl who could ride and hunt and shoot better than nearly any young man in Wyoming? 37271 Frieda, in spite of all your sweetness, do n''t you realize that you are rather hard sometimes?
37271Good gracious, Jack, is n''t that Ralph on his way here this instant? 37271 Has it given you more than most people, Jack?
37271How do you think you are going to make yourself heard in Washington if you ca n''t be heard here?
37271How far has the bargain gone?
37271How long has she been ill and why have n''t you let me know?
37271I have come to ask you, Jack, if there is any possibility of your accepting the offer which was made you to- day? 37271 I suppose I should not dare attempt to find if I have altogether lost my skill?"
37271I wonder if you can tell me the name of the town where Jim was hurt yesterday?
37271I wonder what there can be ahead for me, Ralph? 37271 Is that you, Jack?"
37271Making an exhibition of yourself, Jack?
37271May I, or may I not, Jim?
37271No, Jim, and why should you?
37271Nothing has happened, Frieda? 37271 Now tell me, did n''t you go over to the village on the day you were hurt because you heard I was to make a speech and there might be trouble?
37271Oh, perhaps I may be your opponent some day, who knows?
37271Olive had that same absurd attitude toward you as a girl, did n''t she, Jack? 37271 Olive, was there ever so much worldly wisdom possessed by any one person as by Mrs. Henry Tilford Russell?
37271One is so glad to find something or some one to talk about in a small community, is n''t one?
37271Perhaps it is a bit premature to talk of my running for Congress, Mrs. Kent, but if I do may I count on your support?
37271Should she or should she not? 37271 So you are thinking of playing Lady Nancy Astor in the United States?
37271Still, having done your duty, do n''t you think that after all I may be allowed to use my own judgment in this decision? 37271 Suppose I would have spoken first of being tired, although I am tired straight through, if things had worked out as we hoped?
37271Tell me, Jim, is that Jimmie''s pony ahead of us? 37271 That is rather a tall order, do n''t you think, Frieda?"
37271The blow on your head occasioned a loss of memory?
37271Then why did n''t you let me hear this morning? 37271 Think I would not already have told you, Jean, if they were?"
37271Tired?
37271Trying to run away into your beloved outdoors in the usual fashion, Jack?
37271Trying, Billy? 37271 Vain of you, do n''t you think?"
37271Want me to give up trying to manage the ranch, Jim? 37271 Well, what is the news?"
37271What''s the trouble, Jean?
37271What?
37271Why a present for me? 37271 Why not you, Senator, if Mrs. Kent is elected to office from Wyoming?
37271Why should I have been annoyed, Frieda? 37271 Will you bring Mrs. Kent''s horse back to the Rainbow lodge?
37271Will you come in? 37271 Wo n''t you let some of the other little girls come down to the lodge and stay with me?"
37271Would it bore the men dreadfully to have me take part, do you think? 37271 Yes?
37271Yet, Frieda, you feel I ought to question Ralph when Jim, who is his dear friend, is unwilling? 37271 You are a Republican, are n''t you?"
37271You are n''t going to turn poet, or painter, or actress, Jack, after displaying no fondness for the arts in all these years?
37271You are not sleepy, are you? 37271 You do desire it, wish to give up your title and all it means in England, and even in the United States for that matter?
37271You do n''t intend by any chance to be my opponent?
37271You do n''t think I would be too great a bore? 37271 You will be the talk of the countryside, Jacqueline Kent, and who knows where else?"
37271You wo n''t tell the family what I have done, will you, please, Jim?
37271A woman without a country?"
37271Absurd under the circumstances, yet Jack blushed furiously and then laughed:"Am I never, never to cease to hear of my ridiculous exploit?
37271After all, why was Jack not at home to explain her own eccentricity?
37271Afterwards what happened, Jim?
37271Am I not the last person in the world you would ever have dreamed attempting a public speech?
37271And after the rumpus began and Jimmie and I were safely on the way home did n''t you try to find out who was responsible for the discourtesy to me?
37271And did n''t you arrive so late you felt it best not to tell me to go home, because I had already started to speak?
37271And is it fair of you to blame me when I am unsuccessful?
37271And suppose what I wanted to do should become my heart''s desire?
37271Apologize for me, wo n''t you?
37271Appreciating her own lack of knowledge and of training for the task ahead, why not decline at once and for all time ever to consider it?
37271Are you more disappointed over that wretched election than you have been willing to confess?
37271Are you not more willing to let me be of assistance to you until you are able to repay me?
37271Are you staying in your own country because you wish to be a famous woman some day and the United States offers the best opportunity?"
37271Are you very deeply disappointed?"
37271Besides, if she were honest, frank, and open- minded, would it not be a wonderful experience?
37271Besides, why worry?
37271But I----""See here, do n''t you think you have said enough, John?"
37271But do you think you will be happy, that is the main thing?
37271But of course with Jim looking after the branding of the new calves this afternoon what chance have I of Jimmie''s being anywhere near?"
37271CHAPTER XVI THE ELECTION"When do you think we will hear, Jack?"
37271Do I hear correctly that you mean to resume your American nationality as soon as you can go through the necessary formalities?"
37271Do n''t you suppose I have guessed the greater part of it?"
37271Do n''t you think Jean has had a long enough period of agony and suspense?
37271Do the others know?"
37271Do they think me a kind of wild west show?
37271Do you realize that if one is out of practice roping is a fairly dangerous sport, Mrs. Kent?
37271Do you suppose you could speak to him?
37271Does that not make a difference?
37271From the first had she not warned her sister that public speech making would lead to something more disastrous?
37271Goodness, is that one of our formidable neighbors approaching?
37271Had she altogether forgotten her past prowess?
37271Had she forgotten how exhilarating, how thrilling the lassoing was?
37271Has Jim come back?
37271Have I not warned her that she could never make a public speech?
37271He ca n''t be anywhere near- by?"
37271How dared you ride over the ranch alone when I have told you it was forbidden?
37271I am not so impossible a person, am I?
37271I presume you realize that if you accept you will be my opponent?
37271I wonder if Jack is the beauty these days or Olive?
37271I wonder if any one of us would be as courageous in her present circumstances?
37271I wonder if life will ever teach you to be different?"
37271I wonder if that is why life seems to find it necessary to give me so many knocks?"
37271If Ralph were unable to return home as he had anticipated why had he not telegraphed?
37271If she were elected to Congress would she ever be the old- time Jack again?
37271Is Jim in his room, or has he gone with Jean and the little girls?"
37271Is Peace very ill?"
37271Is there any order you wish to give, or any message?
37271Is there to be a contest?"
37271It is all right, is n''t it?"
37271It would not be pleasant to have Jim disappear as Ralph Merritt has, would it?
37271Jacqueline Kent laughed:"Frieda dear, do n''t I always try?
37271Jimmie ca n''t have ridden over here alone?
37271Kent?"
37271May I be introduced to the three men who are here, if they do n''t mind?"
37271May an American woman who has married a foreigner after the death of her husband assume her former nationality if she so desires?"
37271No one ever gives me a present any more, and who is it from?"
37271Olive, what about you and Bryan?"
37271Peace is all right, and Professor Russell and the others?"
37271Politics seem to me a great career, perhaps the greatest of all careers, these days, so may I congratulate you?"
37271Ralph has been away over a year, has n''t he, working always at the mine in New Mexico and writing regularly?
37271Remember, Frieda dear, when you planned to be a florist and to rescue the family by selling violets?
37271Remember, I believe firmly that we shall hear from Ralph within the next few days, or the next few hours, who knows?
37271Shall we go indoors to enjoy her visit?
37271She meant to win, else why the struggle and the fatigue and, more often than she confessed, the heartache?
37271So why the present discussion?
37271So why were you not the person, as Lady Astor was in England?
37271Suppose we ask an old friend of yours, Peter Stevens, whether at present you are an American citizen or a British subject?
37271Ten minutes later, leaning back in the car with her eyes closed, Jack demanded:"Were you pleased with me this afternoon, Frieda Ralston Russell?
37271Then arriving there, how did you manage to get into the midst of a rough- and- tumble fight?
37271Then may I borrow some one''s horse?
37271Then she called softly,"Jean, Jean, what has become of everybody?
37271Try it with me some day, wo n''t you?
37271Want a career, Jacqueline Ralston Kent?
37271Was there anywhere else in the world such a wide sweep of country, such plains and prairies and desert sands covered with sage brush and cacti?
37271What do you suppose we ought to do about it, Jim?"
37271What do you think I might be able to do, Jim?
37271What does the boy himself wish to do, stay here at the ranch and learn to be a ranchman under my training, or go back to Kent House?"
37271What influence do you suppose your sermons will now have among the cowboys?
37271What is it you really think, Jean?"
37271What is it?
37271What is the news?"
37271What is your heart''s desire, Jim Colter?"
37271What will you do with yourself?
37271Who ever heard of such a foolish title?
37271Why did I ever think I could?
37271Why should we be so much more conservative than England?
37271Will you come indoors or shall we walk about among your old violet beds?
37271Will you ride back to the lodge to dinner with me?"
37271Wo n''t you at least promise me to talk to Jim Colter and to ask his advice before you leave?"
37271Wo n''t you be my wife, Jack, and go with me to Washington in that capacity and not as my political adversary?
37271Would her neighbors judge her action so harshly that it would interfere with their friendliness toward her?
37271Would she actually need him more, or was it because he cared more for her need than for any possible human demand that could be made upon him?
37271Would she or would she not?"
37271Would you hate it if I should take an interest in politics?
37271Would you withhold it from me, Jim?"
37271Yet in what way had he been hurt and how serious was his injury?
37271Yet on the other hand, had she the right to evade so wonderful an opportunity?
37271Yet what does it matter, now you are at home?
37271Yet you wo n''t desert me if the worst happens, Frieda?"
37271You are sure you can not stay longer, not even for tea?"
37271You ca n''t have everything, you know, be a public character and a----""And a human being?
37271You feel sure you will not regret your decision?
37271You would dislike the idea very much, would n''t you, Senator Marshall?"
4674Call yourself Clifford, do you?
4674Have you anything to say on behalf of the prisoner?''
4674Is this all you have to say? 4674 Prisoner,"said the Judge, interrupting,"have you any questions to ask this man?"
4674When a man,began Tennessee''s Partner slowly,"has been running free all day, what''s the natural thing for him to do?
4674And if he ai n''t in a condition to go home, what can his best friend do?
4674And now, what''s the case?
4674And now, what''s the fair thing?
4674And you sez to me, sez you,--confidential- like, and between man and man,--sez you,''Do you know anything in his behalf?''
4674Well, what does Tennessee do?
4674and I sez to you, sez I,--confidential- like, as between man and man,--''What should a man know of his pardner?''"
19388''How did you know it?'' 19388 A housekeeper, and ca n''t cook?
19388A lady?
19388A letter? 19388 A what?"
19388About her and the hospital?
19388About me? 19388 After you was shot?
19388Ah? 19388 Ai n''t a woman a funny thing, though?"
19388Ai n''t it all right?
19388Ai n''t it the truth?
19388Ai n''t she_ fine_?
19388Ai n''t you hungry now, ma''am?
19388All of your both two tin plates, huh?
19388Alone?
19388Amputation?
19388And are there things about the place-- chickens or something?
19388And leave me here?
19388And my husband?
19388And never having a woman around?
19388And the people?
19388And the sky is blue?
19388And then you''re not disappointed in him? 19388 And these little cakes-- you made them?"
19388And trees?
19388And what did she say?
19388And what is the country like on ahead, where-- where we''re going?
19388And what may that be?
19388And who is Wid?
19388And you also?
19388And you desire me to aid you in your endeavor to entr- r- r- ap some foolish woman?
19388And you''re so Puritan foolish, you''re going to marry this man? 19388 And-- won''t you do me a little favor now?
19388Annie told you?--doesn''t he tell you what he does?
19388Annie, what do you mean?
19388Annie, what do you_ mean_?
19388Are we at the dam here?
19388Are you going there with the women?
19388Are you hurt?
19388Are you shamming? 19388 Are you sorry?"
19388Are you the man that wants me?
19388Aw, come on up, Doc,said he,"wo n''t you?
19388Bad habits?
19388Better, eh?
19388Blind, huh?
19388Boys, shall we get him into the car?
19388But honest, Sim--and his neighbor''s curiosity now was apparent--"what sort of a looker is she?"
19388But how can I help cook supper-- what can I do?
19388But in my case you intend to cut out that exudation from the pupil?
19388But still,she added, a finger at chin,"what bothers me is, how does Charlie know Waldhorn?
19388But suppose she gets away and squeals on us?
19388But there was oncet, maybe?
19388But you''re dressed up for a soldier?
19388Cleveland? 19388 Copied?--What is it?"
19388Could n''t you come in for a while, Annie? 19388 Could you hold these horses, ma''am, fer a minute?
19388Did he have anything to do with-- that advertisement?
19388Did he say they were coming good now, up there? 19388 Did n''t you ask her about it?"
19388Did n''t your doctor back in Cleveland tell you anything about what was wrong with your eyes?
19388Did n''t your doctor tell you what iritis meant?
19388Did she shoot you?
19388Did that feller shoot me? 19388 Did the Emperor of Prussia ever do more?
19388Did you say Mr. Gardner was coming over here before long?
19388Die-- her!--What would_ I_ do then, Doc?
19388Died, did he? 19388 Disappoint you?
19388Do men come to your place very much, then?
19388Do n''t you suppose God knows the way? 19388 Do n''t you think that in time we forget things?"
19388Do you suppose we could get another one?
19388Do you_ mean_ that, ma''am? 19388 Doc, what did you mean when you said that there just now?"
19388Doctor get to that sick man?
19388Does he-- do you think he----"Cares for you?
19388Does that go, Sim Gage?
19388Find anything, up in?
19388Fine business, ai n''t it?
19388Forgive you-- what do you mean?
19388God has been good to you, has n''t he?
19388Going?
19388Gone? 19388 Gone?
19388Gone?
19388Got what?
19388Has he said anything to you?
19388Has she ever told you anything about herself yet?
19388Have a good time down in the medder?
19388Have n''t you any chickens?
19388Have you ever had any talk with her about this?
19388Have you ever talked the whole business over-- you two-- since she came out?
19388Have you got an extra gun?
19388Have you heard anything about an accident up on the Reserve?
19388He seems to be getting impossible- er almost every year, now, do n''t he?
19388He thought you were all alone?
19388He''s dead?
19388He''s got his foot up on the dash board like it was sore, ai n''t he?
19388He_ was_ a soldier? 19388 Home?"
19388Hospital? 19388 How about that woman, Nels?"
19388How can I tell anything about you? 19388 How can I tell, Annie?"
19388How can I tell?
19388How can you guess things like that?
19388How come that?
19388How could I help it?
19388How do I know whether I want that girl or not? 19388 How do you do, Mis''Gage?"
19388How do you know I ai n''t made her up?
19388How do you know, ma''am?
19388How do you know?
19388How do you know?
19388How do you know?
19388How far is it to your-- our-- the place where we''re going?
19388How is your bad knee?
19388How is your knee now?
19388How kin I tell where she went, after I was shot?
19388How long was it, Annie? 19388 How long was that coming on?"
19388How many are there of you?
19388How many cars did you see?
19388How much do you think I''d mean it? 19388 How much money have you got left?
19388How much money you got saved up, Mary?
19388How old are you?
19388How''s everything this morning? 19388 How''s things down below?"
19388How''s your wife, Sim?
19388I beg pardon,drawled Waldhorn, smiling with a well- concealed sneer,"but is n''t this a trifle sudden?
19388I can hear the water-- it''s very heavy, is n''t it?
19388I got to have some sort of time to think things over, have n''t I, then?
19388I know-- it was those people!--Where is that man? 19388 I suppose he is up in the hills to- day?"
19388I suppose we''d better do the laundry, too, do n''t you think?
19388I''ve got to go in and get them folks something to eat, have n''t I?
19388I''ve got to live?
19388If I gave you back your eyes and your life, is n''t that something?
19388If I-- if I could get my eyesight back again, what ought I to do?
19388If it had n''t been for that little dog, you''d never have found me, would you? 19388 If they doubt him, why do n''t they remove him?"
19388If we got you down to the settlements what could we say? 19388 Indeed?"
19388Is n''t it odd? 19388 Is n''t there some alcohol, or anything, in the place?"
19388Is that her?
19388Is that so? 19388 Is that so?"
19388Is that what you want to call me, ma''am?
19388Is that you, Doc? 19388 Is them car tracks?"
19388Is there anything else you can do?
19388Is this where a hog or a human has been living? 19388 It sure is funny how funny things get mixed up sometimes, ai n''t it, Doc?"
19388It will get well, wo n''t it? 19388 It''s a fine little solution you''ve got so far, ai n''t it now?"
19388It''s a great place for young married folks to go and visit, I reckon? 19388 It''s a little hot, ai n''t it?"
19388It''s me-- Big Aleck-- I''m shot-- I''m dying-- Help!--Who is it?
19388Lives? 19388 Lot o''help Sim''d be if he was here, would n''t he?
19388May n''t I feel the muscle on your arm?
19388Maybe just as well she do n''t, heh?
19388Men hang around-- what does it get me? 19388 Mrs. Jensen gone home too?"
19388My eyes? 19388 No?
19388Nor no folks neither?
19388Not no one else?--_No one in the house_?
19388Not those same men?
19388Now, ai n''t that the truth?
19388Oh, I see-- you have something to sell?
19388Oh, above on the East Fork? 19388 Oh, come now-- that''s making it a little strong, now, Miss Annie, ai n''t it?
19388Oh, it''s you, Gage?
19388Oh, the woman that''s waiting? 19388 Oh, they''re damn nuisances, are they?
19388Oh, you''re just in your working clothes, are n''t you?
19388Reckon she''s a school ma''am?
19388Reserve?
19388Say, Mister,said she to him suddenly,"tell me,--are you the man that wrote them letters to us girls?
19388Say, where do you get the stuff you''re pulling in here, anyway?
19388Say,he added, presently,"what kind of a place is that Niagry place I been reading about?
19388Say,he went on, suddenly,"have you noticed how perty the moonlight is on the medders these nights?
19388See anybody down below, Aleck?
19388See that tire, Sim? 19388 She like the country pretty well?"
19388She read it then?
19388Sit down, wo n''t you?
19388Smoke? 19388 So struck you with his front hoof?
19388So you live in the tent?
19388So you think that of me?
19388So you''re a- going to make me go in to town tomorrow and marry a woman I never seen, whether I want to or not?
19388So? 19388 So?
19388Some class to it, eh?
19388Telephone down, why do n''t you?
19388Telephone?
19388Tell me about the country-- it''s very beautiful, is n''t it?
19388Tell me, wo n''t I_ ever_ see him? 19388 That so?"
19388That''d be fine, would n''t it?
19388That''s a fine thing you done, ai n''t it?
19388That''s a purty question to ask, ai n''t it now?
19388That''s fine talk for you, ai n''t it? 19388 The plan?"
19388The real question, Sim, is what are folks going to say? 19388 The wedding?"
19388Then why did n''t they kill you, if they wanted to? 19388 Then you wo n''t be coming up yourself?"
19388Then, my dear-- you will let me say''my dear,''wo n''t you? 19388 Those men yonder-- those soldiers-- is one of them my husband?
19388To_ me_? 19388 Under what star of sadness was I born?"
19388Was anybody hurt?
19388Was it yesterday?
19388Was n''t it enough what they done to us already?
19388Well, I ca n''t cut your leg off right out here in the street, can I, man? 19388 Well, Sis,"said that cheerful individual,"how are you getting on?"
19388Well, are they going to be married?
19388Well, how are things coming along, Sis?
19388Well, how do you do this morning? 19388 Well, how''s everything this morning?"
19388Well, if you did n''t like this here country, now what made you come here?
19388Well, it seems to be a right cheerful, friendly sort of place, do n''t it?
19388Well, she''s to blame too, ai n''t she?
19388Well, so I stuck around and done about what I could, same as you, ai n''t that so, Wid? 19388 Well, then,"said Mary Warren, suddenly rising, her hands to her hot cheeks,"well, then-- and what then?
19388Well, then?
19388Well, we can invite them over, sometimes, ca n''t we, Annie?
19388Well, what do you know about that?
19388Well, why do n''t you go? 19388 Well,"said Mary Warren, her blood high in her face,"I''ll have to tell her all about that, wo n''t I?
19388Well,said Pop Bentley, shrugging his bent shoulders,"if you would go away and leave a woman alone in a place like that----""What do you mean?"
19388Well,said his friend after a time, rising,"it''d be a fine place to fetch a woman to, would n''t it?
19388Well-- even a little dog?
19388What are you doing?
19388What became of him?
19388What brought you down here? 19388 What can I do?
19388What chump? 19388 What could I_ do_?"
19388What did Annie Squires say, if it''s any of my business?
19388What did you put on it?
19388What do you mean-- about folks?
19388What do you mean? 19388 What do you mean?"
19388What do you mean?
19388What do you mean?
19388What do you mean?
19388What do you mean?
19388What do you mean?
19388What do you think?
19388What is it?
19388What is it?
19388What makes you think you can trust me?
19388What right you got to arrest me? 19388 What shall I call you?"
19388What sort is it-- the house?
19388What was it you put down by the door as you came in?
19388What was it, Annie?
19388What was it? 19388 What was it?"
19388What was that?
19388What was you thinking of, Mis''Davidson?
19388What would you have been if you had n''t come to America? 19388 What you been doing-- fooling with me, you two?"
19388What you been doing? 19388 What you do with him?"
19388What you mean?
19388What''ll she see first?
19388What''s a blind woman to you? 19388 What''s he going to be, Kid-- your man?
19388What''s in it?
19388What''s it say, Wid?
19388What''s that smoke?
19388What''s that you say?
19388What''s that? 19388 What''s that?"
19388What''s that?
19388What''s that?
19388What''s the matter?
19388What''s the reason I ai n''t, or wo n''t be?
19388What''s the use of trying to change the world, Sis?
19388What''s up?
19388What''s up?
19388What''s wrong, Annie?
19388What''s wrong?
19388What''s your hurry, Wid?
19388What, not get to see the bride? 19388 What?
19388What?
19388What_ made_ them? 19388 Whatever can you_ mean_?"
19388When you wear that, Gage,said Doctor Barnes sharply to him,"you button up your shirt and roll down your sleeves, do you understand?
19388When?
19388Where are you going?
19388Where did he go?
19388Where is he now?
19388Where is he?
19388Where is he?
19388Where is she now?
19388Where is she? 19388 Where is she?"
19388Where is she?
19388Where is she?
19388Where is that fellow?
19388Where is that woman?
19388Where is the dog? 19388 Where is your mother?"
19388Where then do I belong?
19388Where''s she gone, Wid?
19388Where''s that little dog, now? 19388 Where''s the Doc?--he been here this morning?"
19388Where''s the oil, gal?
19388Where''s-- where''s my hat?
19388Which is he?
19388Which way did that man go from here?
19388Who are they? 19388 Who are you all?"
19388Who are you-- what do you want?
19388Who are you? 19388 Who are you?"
19388Who are you?
19388Who are you?
19388Who do you mean-- sabcats?
19388Who done it, Aleck?
19388Who done it?
19388Who done that work down below?
19388Who giveth this woman in marriage?
19388Who giveth this woman in marriage?
19388Who is she? 19388 Who is she?"
19388Who says I got to come through?
19388Who set that fire, Nels?
19388Who set that fire?
19388Who was it? 19388 Who''d take_ me_?"
19388Who''ll she see first, Doc-- Annie, you reckon?
19388Who''s going to run this place?
19388Who''s it from?
19388Who''s it going to be if it ai n''t her? 19388 Who''s it to?"
19388Who''s it to?
19388Who''s there?
19388Who''s there?
19388Who''s there?
19388Who''s_ that_ coming in?
19388Who''s_ there_?
19388Who? 19388 Whose little dog is this?"
19388Whose work was that?
19388Why are you away all the time? 19388 Why did n''t he say good- by, anyways, when he left?"
19388Why did n''t you come? 19388 Why do n''t you come over here close to me?"
19388Why do n''t you haul him in? 19388 Why do n''t you send her back, man?"
19388Why do you come to this country, if you do n''t like it? 19388 Why not?
19388Why should it be like that?
19388Why, a collie-- aren''t they nice?
19388Why, how could any one help liking him, Sis?
19388Why, how do you mean?
19388Why, what''s the matter with this country?
19388Why, where are the sheets?
19388Why,_ did_ you, ma''am?
19388Why?
19388Why?
19388Will you be happy?
19388Will you come?
19388With a two months''start?
19388With what token?
19388Wo n''t you sit down?
19388Would I be some sort of soldier, too, like?
19388Would I have any sort of uniform, like, now?
19388Would it, Doc?
19388Yes, Doctor, or-- ah, Major?
19388Yes, sir?
19388Yes? 19388 Yes?
19388Yes?
19388Yet?
19388You ai n''t a- going to leave us so soon like that, are you?
19388You ai n''t been in this country long, have you, Doc?
19388You can cut it with a knife, ca n''t you?
19388You did n''t hurt yourself, any?
19388You did n''t see any one when you was down in the road, Aleck?
19388You did n''t tell me your name?
19388You did, eh? 19388 You do n''t call this strange-- what I''ve done?"
19388You do n''t suppose I''d ask him to do anything, do you?
19388You got any trunk for me to git?
19388You had some pain?
19388You know that letter we got fer her? 19388 You know that woman?"
19388You know why I''ve come up? 19388 You know, you seem rather a manny sort of man to me-- do you know what I mean?"
19388You like him?
19388You pore fool,said Karen Jensen,"did you think for a minute I''d go away and leave that girl alone with you?
19388You put in a regular button- hole stitch,said he, grinning,"did n''t you?
19388You reckon Big Aleck--? 19388 You said you''d be going back home again before long?"
19388You say I shall be able to see him-- my husband?
19388You say she went over that way?
19388You think I could be any use that way, Doc?
19388You think this Annie person can cook?
19388You two was neighbors, huh? 19388 You wo n''t be going back right away, will you?"''
19388You would forgive-- you would cherish no malice against any who acted as the ah-- instigators-- of your original journey here?
19388You''ll not be gone long? 19388 You''ll not be gone long?"
19388You''ll write to her? 19388 You''re a doctor?"
19388You''re a jealous sort of bridegroom?
19388You''re alone?
19388You''re going to arrest me? 19388 You''re not a drinking man?"
19388You''re sure she''ll see?
19388You''ve knew Mrs. Gage for some time?
19388You_ do_ love her, do n''t you?
19388Your hat?
19388Your log house is all painted and nice, is n''t it?
19388Your own hands-- what do you mean by that?
19388_ Because she could shoot you_?--Because she_ did_ shoot you, twice? 19388 _ Painted_, ma''am?
19388_ What''s that_? 19388 _ Why_ do n''t you?"
19388''Have n''t I got plenty people working for me that could tell me where you was, or anything else I wanted to know?
19388A voice not unfamiliar called out,"What''s wrong with you, man?
19388After that,--what?
19388Ai n''t he a peach?"
19388Ai n''t it the truth?
19388Ai n''t she nice- looking, sort of, after all?
19388Ai n''t that fine?"
19388Am I doing wrong in any way?"
19388Am I going to live, or can I die?"
19388An enemy?
19388And I suppose you both set around and figured out that fine little game about advertising for a wife?
19388And did your husband tell you that I''m going to be a person of consequence now?
19388And he-- he married you after he saw you was blind?"
19388And how come you by my letters?"
19388And how come you out here?"
19388And how is everything?"
19388And how on earth are we going to keep it from her?
19388And if not a husband, what?
19388And in what capacity?
19388And look at that little creek-- it''s plumb gentle up here, ai n''t it?
19388And then, in a burst of welcome,"How''d you like it, coming out?"
19388And then, presently,"And how are you, sir?
19388And then-- you know about my eyes?
19388And those other women?
19388And we''d be right here, too, all the time, to help her and watch her, would n''t we, now?"
19388And what had she now to offer for perfection in a man?
19388And while you''re out along this little creek pull some of this water cress and bring it in-- didn''t you know it''s good to eat?
19388And yet without that one flaw where would you be?
19388And you were in the war?"
19388And you''ll come in and see me when you can, wo n''t you?"
19388Any grayling?"
19388Anything gone wrong at the store?"
19388Anything gone wrong?"
19388Anything happen to it?"
19388Are you any man at all?"
19388Are you married yet?
19388As to that, who did not know that for years every letter to a soldier was opened and censored?
19388Because you have brought up a problem between you and me---- Are n''t we big enough to fight that out between us?
19388But I could n''t have done no other way, could I?"
19388But I got to talking with him, right away after you had left, it was all about the war and I said to him,''Charlie, why did n''t you go over?''
19388But I hope you ai n''t a- goin''to change?"
19388But I never did say I was a perfessional housekeeper, did I now?"
19388But at least and at last he said it was iritis?"
19388But do you suppose I''d marry that girl even if she was willing?
19388But how about it with only the discards in Derby hats and false teeth left?
19388But how can you tell whether she''d stay all winter?
19388But how come you to think of that?
19388But how does this Waldhorn chump in there know anything about Charlie Dorenwald?
19388But say, Annie, what''s the use of fooling?
19388But tell me, how''s the fishing up in there?
19388But tell me, was he saying anything to you about your eyes?"
19388But tell me, what''s that?--Do you smell anything?"
19388But then----""Yes; and but then?"
19388But what are you going to_ do_?
19388But what else is there we can do?"
19388But what''s up to- night, Mollie?
19388But who can tell what in the merry hell has really happened up there?"
19388But why did he not come back-- the man?
19388But why?
19388But you do n''t want to hear me talk?
19388But, tell me, what can you do?
19388CHAPTER XIV THE MAN TRAIL"What do you think of him, Wid?"
19388CHAPTER XV THE SPECIES"Well, pretty one, you got lonesome here all by yourself?
19388Ca n''t you feel your heart flame?
19388Ca n''t you find the Doc?"
19388Ca n''t you go on?"
19388Ca n''t you leave me alone?
19388Ca n''t you make it out that way for pore old Sim?"
19388Ca n''t you put some witch hazel on your knee?"
19388Ca n''t you see him out there now, jumping?"
19388Ca n''t you see it''s only just to get you some sort of a home?"
19388Ca n''t you see that I''m sorry I made you marry me, because it was n''t no way right?
19388Call this America?"
19388Can you ever forgive me fer what I''ve done to you?"
19388Chivalrous?
19388Cleveland?
19388Come in, wo n''t you?
19388Come on now-- do you want to stay here and burn up in the house?"
19388Could it be a violation of confidence-- an eavesdropping-- opening this letter?
19388Could she not do much, if in the line of duty?
19388Did she take it with her after she shot you?"
19388Did she take the gun away with her?"
19388Did you bring him down?"
19388Did you ever see Sim?
19388Did you ever stop to think what you have been taking into your own hands here?"
19388Did you git track of them anywhere?
19388Did you hear me?"
19388Do n''t be thinking of sacrifices and duties-- isn''t there some way we can plan just to get some plain joy out of life as we go along?
19388Do n''t that make you feel as if you were in a uniform?"
19388Do n''t you believe me?"
19388Do n''t you like it right strong?"
19388Do n''t you realize what that woman is?
19388Do n''t you?
19388Do you believe in them things-- acts of Providence?"
19388Do you get me?"
19388Do you have anything in the way of music?
19388Do you hear me?"
19388Do you mean that, or is it a mere conventionality with you?"
19388Do you mean that, real and for sure?
19388Do you read out here much?
19388Do you reckon she''ll hold all right now, Doctor?"
19388Do you reckon you was ever any lonesomer fer a home than what I am, living out here all my life?"
19388Do you suppose my duty''s going to frighten me?
19388Do you think I''m one of them sort that''ll set down and let the world walk over me, and say I like it?
19388Do you understand?"
19388Do you want to see it any more?
19388Do you want to see this world now, this sordid, bloody, torn and worn old world, so full of everything but joy and justice?
19388Doc, you do n''t mean to tell me she''s that sick?"
19388Fine lot of us, up to my house, huh?
19388For what?--for housekeeping?
19388Gage?"
19388Gage?"
19388Gage?"
19388Gage?"
19388Gage?"
19388Gar- r- r- dner?"
19388Gardner, can you run my car down to the dam?"
19388Had she in terror fled the place-- was she wandering hopelessly lost, somewhere out there in the night?
19388Has he been trying to beat the shot?"
19388Have n''t I done as much?
19388Have n''t you got a dog?"
19388He employed me----""Employed you?
19388Her right?
19388Him?"
19388Holes?
19388Home?
19388How big do the grayling go up in your country?"
19388How can I pay for it at all?
19388How can I, when she''s blind?
19388How could either her body or her soul ever have seen?"
19388How could she ask this man for money, this man whom she had so bitterly deceived?
19388How could she ever explain it all to him?
19388How could she ever have chosen, have selected?
19388How could she then marry him, even if she so wished?
19388How did you get here-- what did you do?
19388How do I know which way she''d run?
19388How far have you rode today?"
19388How is Sim''s knee by this time?"
19388How long could she maintain her supremacy over him, here alone in the wilderness, helpless, blind?
19388How long will that last you and me?"
19388How long would all this last?
19388How long you been living here yourself?"
19388How''s everything?"
19388How''s that?"
19388How?"
19388How_ could_ you?"
19388How_ dared_ you?
19388Husband; or what?
19388I ai n''t never found fault with the way you keep house when I come over to your place, have I?"
19388I beg your pardon, but he''s-- he''s been considerate?"
19388I could of sold the Government plenty hay this fall if I''d had any, but now how could I, without no horses and no money to get none?
19388I fell down-- Who hit me?"
19388I owe you very much-- but ought you to decide everything for me?
19388I reckon it''s the room where you both used to live?"
19388I suppose Sim has told you that we''re going to have a soldier post here in your yard?"
19388I told you the school ma''am had maybe went off to her homestead, did n''t I?
19388I wish-- I wish-- why, what shall I_ do_?"
19388I wonder how it looks?"
19388I''d never step a foot across that door sill, night or day-- you understand that, do n''t you?
19388I''ll mark''em-- so they can tell, when they come to saw''em, heh?"
19388I''ll tell her that?
19388If I were handsome as you----""Oh, am I?"
19388If not, why this green cord on his hat?
19388If she could see you-- what do you suppose she''d think?
19388If so, what must be her bargain here?
19388If there''s any other fight on ahead unsettled for you, ca n''t you fight it out?
19388If they had found one of these places-- where were they now?
19388If you hate America, why do n''t you go back to your own country and live there?
19388If you worked the place right you''d make plenty fer to----""Fer to be human?"
19388If you''re going that way, will you drop it in for me?"
19388Indeed, was it not her duty to know what there was in this letter from the woman whom she herself had brought out here not so long ago?
19388Is every one out here like you?"
19388Is he a prisoner?"
19388Is he human or ai n''t he?
19388Is he rich or poor?
19388Is it far from Cleveland?"
19388Is it you?
19388Is it, though?
19388Is n''t it nice?"
19388Is there danger?"
19388Is this your satchel, ma''am?"
19388It does, ai n''t it the truth?"
19388It looks like it, do n''t it?
19388It looks sort of like you was going to move in, do n''t it?"
19388It''ll help you a lot to have your eyes go worse, wo n''t it?"
19388It''s a glorious day, is n''t it?
19388It''s like learning where things is in the dark, ma''am, I suppose?"
19388It''s the end of the world, is n''t it, to- day?
19388It-- it looks like Charlie had a chance, eh?"
19388It-- it would n''t seem so wicked, some way?
19388Keep house?
19388Letter?
19388Light, and the new music of the spheres-- to whom did she owe those things?
19388Like on my flour sack:''Eventual, why not now?''
19388Man, you do n''t know that girl-- you just think she''s a common, ordinary woman, do n''t you?
19388Martial law?
19388May I come up again some time?"
19388May not a blind woman be a married woman also?"
19388Mollie, Mollie, my dear, what is there ahead for you?
19388Mushy-- but times comes when a girl falls strong for the mushy, huh?
19388Must it come to death, or to the acceptance of terror or of shame, as the price of life?
19388Must she woo him and persuade him, argue with him?
19388Never heard of Mr. Symonds-- did you?"
19388Now what are we a- goin''to do?"
19388Now, could n''t she be a lady and that be true?"
19388Now, if that girl that wrote it, that Annie Squires, could come out here and get into this here game, why, how would that be?
19388Now, what does that mean?
19388Oh, do n''t you know?"
19388Oh, do you suppose she_ really_ is coming?"
19388Ought n''t both of us to know about bargain counters and basement sales?"
19388Ought we not?
19388Perhaps you have heard of the Spartan boy?"
19388Propinquity did it-- was that not why men and women nearly always married in their own village, their own social circle?
19388Say, Miss Squires, supposin''you see if you can get the doctor down at the dam?"
19388Say, did I get him?"
19388Say, how''s the fishing up there?--Did they say there were any grayling in there?"
19388Say, now-- your eyes will come back, wo n''t they?
19388Says I to him,''What made you come out here, Charlie?
19388See that?--Ain''t he a darling, now, I''m asking you?"
19388See this?"
19388Sewed it up?"
19388She might get restless, like enough, would n''t she?"
19388She started up, called out,"Who''s there?"
19388She would n''t want to stay here long unless she was settled down some way, would she?
19388She''ll be all right there alone, wo n''t she?"
19388She''s anxious to see you,"but hurried on, muttering to herself,"Ai n''t it the limit?
19388Sim Gage, shall we say?
19388So this is where you live?"
19388So you believe that of me?"
19388Something on your mind, huh?
19388Suppose we-- suppose----""Suppose that we wait awhile, eh?"
19388Tell me, Annie-- I''ll get well, wo n''t I?"
19388Tell me, Doc, ai n''t he got a chanct to come through?
19388Tell me, Gardner, is there any way those people can get out on the other side of the Reserve, down the West Fork?
19388Tell me, if it were in my power to give you back your eyes, would you tell me to do that?"
19388Tell me_ about_ yourself, wo n''t you?
19388Ten days?
19388That feller that was up there-- one you said you knew before you come out here?"
19388That would help you in getting things started around on your place again, would n''t it?"
19388That''s funny, ai n''t it?
19388That''s true, is n''t it?"
19388The Government is alarmed?"
19388The only question in his mind was, Where was She?
19388The pore thing-- you said she was right blind?"
19388The sage has got five different colors of green in it-- you would n''t think that, would you?
19388These Johns''ll find what''s what, heh?
19388They were winding their way up the valley of a stream, into a higher country?
19388They_ could_ of finished you, could n''t they?
19388This here place where we stand is hers, ai n''t it?
19388This is the nineteenth day of the month, is n''t it?
19388This letter-- to Major Allen Barnes, in yonder city-- what was in it?
19388This will settle a heap of things, wo n''t it, Mary?"
19388To find me?''
19388To see again?"
19388Unless----""Unless what?"
19388Very well, but who had shot Scout Gage?
19388Waldhorn?"
19388Was God indeed asleep?
19388Was anybody hurt?"
19388Was it a signal, or was some one playing with the property of the Company, there in the cupola of the light station?
19388Was it a surprise?
19388Was it the_ right_ thing to do-- was it the courageous and valiant thing to do?
19388Was n''t that a fine thing to do?
19388Was she not reduced to the bargain counter, in the very basement of life?
19388Was you two married?
19388We women all admire it, do n''t you know?
19388We''d ought to have some eggs, ought n''t we?
19388We''ll have a green service cord on it,--say green with a little white in it, Sim Gage?
19388We''re the farmer''s friends, huh?
19388We''ve made''em raise wages time and again, have n''t we?
19388Well you know that sort of got me started and at last we had it, and do you know when he got rattled he began to talk Dutch to me?
19388Well, fellers, you reckon we''re goin''to stand fer this sort of Bolshevik business on the Two- Forks?"
19388Well, of course, a man ca n''t get along so well, ranching, unless he has a wife----""Or a housekeeper?"
19388Well, they''ll be there when you get back, wo n''t they?"
19388Well, what could I do?
19388Well, you got one, anyway, did n''t you?"
19388Were officers or the ranchers coming?
19388Were they not indeed in her charge?
19388What I''ve got is yours, of course, but how much have we got, together?
19388What are doctors for?"
19388What are they like?"
19388What are you doing up here?"
19388What are you going to do about it your own self?"
19388What are you going to do?"
19388What are you going to_ do_, Sis?
19388What are you like?"
19388What can I do to repay him?"
19388What chance has them Government cockroaches got against my bullies?
19388What chanct has a girl got?
19388What could it be?
19388What did he look like, Mary?
19388What did she say?"
19388What did these zig- zag beams up and down the surface of the sky indicate?
19388What did we hear then?
19388What did you come for?"
19388What do they gain by this?
19388What do you do?
19388What do you mean about that?"
19388What do you mean, sir?"
19388What do you mean?
19388What do you mean?"
19388What do you mean?"
19388What do you suppose the Doc thinks?
19388What do you think of going back now, to stop until this row is over?
19388What do you want?
19388What do_ you_ want?"
19388What does it mean?
19388What else, then?"
19388What had happened to Her?
19388What had he meant?
19388What have I done to you to make you feel that way?
19388What is she like?"
19388What is your authority?"
19388What kind would you like?"
19388What letter?
19388What made her?
19388What made you come here?
19388What makes him keep this Waldhorn close as he does?
19388What makes you want it?"
19388What more does she want?
19388What orders had been given?
19388What ought he to say?
19388What shall we both do?"
19388What should he do?
19388What sort of housekeeper would I make-- and what sort of-- of-- wife?
19388What sort of looking man are you?
19388What then was her footing here-- a woman?
19388What then was left?
19388What then?
19388What time is it?"
19388What was going to happen if he did come back?
19388What was it that she had heard?
19388What were you talking about?"
19388What will I do?
19388What would ten years mean?
19388What you find in it?"
19388What''s his name?
19388What''s the matter with it, anyhow?"
19388What''s the use then fer us to start fer Arizony with a wagon and team?
19388What''s your real name?"
19388What''s_ wrong_ here, Doctor?"
19388What, indeed, was her status to be here?
19388What?"
19388When I consider how near I came to-- to----""To raising hell?"
19388When would he change?
19388When would he tire of this?
19388When?"
19388When?"
19388Where are we pretty soon?
19388Where did she go?"
19388Where did you come from, gal?"
19388Where do I sleep, Gage?"
19388Where do you live?"
19388Where is he_ now_?"
19388Where shall we go?
19388Where would he put her?
19388Where''s my gun?
19388Where''s the Doc?
19388Where''s your man this morning?"
19388Where-- where is he?"
19388Which had been more cruel, blindness or vision?
19388Which one?
19388Who are you?"
19388Who do you think I found right out here, almost in our very yard, Mary?"
19388Who goes there?
19388Who goes there?"
19388Who is it?"
19388Who is the fellow, anyhow, and where did he come from, and what does he want?
19388Who shot you?
19388Who told you?"
19388Who was she-- what was there in this talk that two ranchmen had made, down there at the dam?
19388Who''s a- coming on out?"
19388Who''s that man?"
19388Who''s that with you?"
19388Whose little dog?"
19388Why did n''t you let me die?"
19388Why did n''t you tell me more about him, Mary?
19388Why did you bring her up here then?
19388Why do n''t the men come back?"
19388Why do n''t you let me go?"
19388Why not have the whole thing out now, over once and for all?
19388Why not speak plainly and have it done?
19388Why, cruel?
19388Why, those men would do anything?"
19388Why-- what do you mean?"
19388Why-- what do you mean?"
19388Why?
19388Why?
19388Why?
19388Why?
19388Why?"
19388Why?"
19388Will you tell me the truth?"
19388Wo n''t you_ say_ you knowed I wanted to do right all the time, and that I just did n''t_ know_?
19388Women ca n''t help stringing a man along, can they?
19388Women who have n''t had what women wish?"
19388Would n''t it settle a heap of things?"
19388Would propinquity solve all this at last, as though this were a desert island, they two alone remaining?
19388Would you be glad?"
19388Yonder then, lay the trail-- but could she know which way?
19388You ai n''t afraid, are you?"
19388You and they can live in that, I suppose?"
19388You are Miss Mary Warren, are you not?"
19388You are happily married?
19388You call this Germany?"
19388You come out to marry him, though, did n''t you?"
19388You did n''t think I was so low- down I could n''t understand a thing like_ that_, did you?
19388You did n''t think_ that_ for one minute, did you?
19388You do n''t blame me, now, do you, Doc?"
19388You do n''t know what iss a jungle?
19388You do n''t want me to do_ that_?
19388You do n''t want philosophizing?
19388You found him?"
19388You go in and tell her, wo n''t you?
19388You know the backwater above the little dam, two miles below the big dam?
19388You know why I liked you?
19388You might_ think_ of going out there as a housekeeper, just to see how things_ looked_--just so that you could look things_ over_, could n''t you?
19388You reckon it shines that same way over at Niagry?"
19388You reckon she would?"
19388You reckon you can sleep?"
19388You say the wire''s down?
19388You say you are glad?
19388You tell me this is right and this is not right-- how do you know?
19388You think I can stand much more than I have?"
19388You think that is right?"
19388You think this is Russia?
19388You trying to hold me up?"
19388You understand, Doc?"
19388You want to have it over with, do n''t you, ma''am?"
19388You were in the army?"
19388You wo n''t blame me too much fer gettin''you here into this awful place, will you?"
19388You would n''t joke with a feller like over a thing like that?"
19388You''ll ruin your eyes-- didn''t the doctor tell you so?
19388Your leg hurt much now?"
19388[ Illustration:"You say I shall be able to see him-- my husband?"]
19388_ Did she_?"
19388_ I_ ai n''t ever advertised for no wife, have I?
19388_ What_ did you see?"
19388_ Where is she_?"
19388said Sim Gage,"ai n''t that what I know?
19388said he at last--"Mr. Gage?
19388said she"You say I shall be able to see him-- my husband?"
19388what does she say?
28638Afraid?
28638Ai n''t you afraid Plimsoll or some one''ll have jumped those claims?
28638Aimin''to sell, is he?
28638Air you so dead set for me to go away?
28638An''have Jordan git her away an''put her under Plimsoll''s guardeenship?
28638And he has n''t taken up any claims?
28638And what''ll you do with her?
28638Any one with you?
28638Anythin''doin''?
28638Are we goin''through the pass?
28638Blake coming?
28638Bleedin''?
28638Boss hired you? 28638 Bourke, Peters and Manning?"
28638Brace up,he said,"what happened?
28638Bread or-- it ai n''t_ biscuits_, Molly?
28638Broom- tails?
28638Bu''st the bank what with?
28638Business good these days? 28638 But Grit...?

28638Can you make it, Hahn?
28638Catch the seven o''clock train at Caroca?

28638Yore dad?
28638Yore mine, warn''t it? 28638 You ai n''t takin''Sam?"

28638You say the mine has petered out?
28638You sendin''one, Westlake?
28638You were ready to shoot at Plimsoll?
28638You won?
28638You would?
28638You''d be good to him-- same as you air to me? 28638 You''d vote ag''in''it?"
28638You''ll take good care of the hawsses, Chuck?

28638Ai n''t they goin''to teach her to talk United States?
28638An''when, if you can place that?"
28638And Sam and Kate?"
28638And does the camp get up early or just go to bed late?"
28638And where do you come in on this deal between old friends?"
28638And, if Molly stayed west-- for keeps--?
28638And, if Plimsoll had been warned, what had become of Molly?
28638And...?
28638Any of you got the makin''s?
28638Any place to eat?
28638Anythin''else?"
28638Anything?"
28638Are you ready to start?"
28638Are you- all taking up claims?
28638As for the girl, if...?"
28638As the pair entered he looked up with a"Howdy, gents?"
28638Bourke?"
28638Bourke?"
28638Bourke?"
28638But what was the use?
28638But would that be fair to her?
28638Can you get up a horse for her to- morrow?"
28638Can you ride?"
28638Can you whistle Pronto back?"
28638Chuck, have you got a machine you c''ud rent us, with a driver?"
28638Cowgirl or cook?"
28638Did it mean a quarrel between Plimsoll''s men?
28638Did n''t I write you I was aching to fork a saddle?
28638Did n''t you say they were all on the same syncline?"
28638Do n''t you know a he- man when you see one?"
28638Do n''t you like him?"
28638Do you reckon he knows that-- now?"
28638Do you remember the trip over the mesa, Blaze?
28638Do you want to align them, or do you want to pool interests and locate here and there where the chances look good?"
28638Do you?"
28638Dock its foretop, do a little doctorin'', an''how you goin''to prove it?
28638Ed, what you stoppin''fer?"
28638Ed, you sure you got plenty ile, gas an''water?
28638Engineer?
28638Fetch that erlong too, will you, Mormon?"
28638Figgerin''on abduction?"
28638Finally we found jest what we wanted, did n''t we, Sam?"
28638Game open?"
28638Get you some supplies?
28638Gittin''light in the east, ai n''t it, folks?"
28638Goin''to git it framed, Sandy?"
28638Goin''to the old Redding Ranch?
28638Got his saddle, Mormon?"
28638Got yore gun oiled up, Mormon?
28638Got yore war- bag, Molly?"
28638Had Plimsoll been joined or attacked?
28638Had n''t we better call Blake?"
28638Has he?
28638Have you any idea where he might be found?"
28638Have you scragged the gel?"
28638Have you seen anything of the Roarin''gent?"
28638He figgers this sylvanite lies under this porphyry reef, sabe?
28638He w''udn''t go round pickin''a scrap with Roarin''Russell on their account, fer instance?"
28638He''s goin''to be jest as lonesome as me for a bit, ai n''t you, Grit?
28638He''s sniffin'', Sandy; what we goin''to do with him?"
28638Hear that?"
28638His boy''s along, you say?
28638Hit him?"
28638How about it, Mormon?
28638How about it?"
28638How about it?"
28638How about the hawsses?
28638How did he die?"
28638How did you know I wanted to ride to Three Star instead of drive?"
28638How fast did you trail?"
28638How much will they give up to have her back?
28638How we goin''to manage it?"
28638How''bout it, Sam?"
28638How''bout seein''him befo''Miss Bailey an''Ed here stake their claims?
28638How''d this happen an''where?
28638How''d your fuss come to staht?"
28638How''ll you have it?"
28638How''s that sound?"
28638How''s the sheriff?"
28638How...?"
28638I can allus come back, ca n''t I?"
28638I hear you- all claim to have an interest in Pat Casey''s minin''locations, his interest now bein''his daughter''s?"
28638I made that booze and I know just how it treats me, sabe?
28638I suppose you cashed the checks?"
28638I suppose you do n''t know their names, either?"
28638I told them I thought they would find that in the porphyry and Russell asked me what the hell I knew about it?
28638I was wonderin''if we c''ud make it by the old road, where you found Molly?
28638I wonder c''ud we hire you to p''int out a likely place for us to locate?"
28638If he could revive Grit...?
28638If she could get inside his arms, if even to endure a moment of his beastly embrace and could get a grip on the gun?
28638If she was out of the rut would she not now regard him as in another of his own from which there was no up- lifting?
28638If you warn''t the kind you are,"added Mormon,"I''d tell you that down there ai n''t no place fo''a woman?"
28638Into what had his affection shifted with the changing of Molly to womanhood?
28638Is he comin''oveh to the ranch?"
28638Is n''t it fine?
28638Is that tip you got about Dynamite a sure one?"
28638Is there anything else I can do?
28638It''ud be great if we sh''ud all strike it rich, to once, w''udn''t it?"
28638Like him, Molly?"
28638Looks like a movie pitcher actor, do n''t he?
28638Mebbe I can fix you up a bit?"
28638Miss, wo n''t you come inside the office?
28638Molly away?"
28638Molly''s gettin''to be a good- looker, ai n''t she?
28638Moonshine or hawss stealin''?"
28638Mormon, open up a can of greengages, will ye?
28638Near water?"
28638Nex''time you gamble, will you play that-- for me?
28638No?
28638Not looking for me?"
28638Now I do n''t like the way you apologized, sabe?
28638Now then, how''ll we bring it off?"
28638Now then, why does he start wildcatting?"
28638Now then,"as Plimsoll sullenly obeyed,"what in hell do you figger yo''re doin''?"
28638Now, jest what happened?"
28638Over to Herefo''d?"
28638Perhaps Brandon had come?
28638Perhaps she could get his own gun?
28638Plimsoll, you got somethin''on the hip, ai n''t you?"
28638Plump an''plain, is the Molly pinched out?"
28638Quien sabe?
28638Ready?"
28638Reckon you aim on me tendin''the ranch, Sandy?"
28638Sabe?

28638Sam, fetch me some adhesive, will you?
28638Sandy Bourke, you ai n''t any of you the legal guardian of that child, air you?"
28638Savvy?
28638See anything of the boys, Sam?
28638Seen anything of Molly Casey?"
28638She sensed the change in his voice, intuitively guessed but, womanlike, asked:"What do you mean, Sandy?
28638She was western born but, what had the transplanting done?
28638Sleepy?"
28638So''s he can unload?"
28638Stands right up to trouble?"
28638Steak?
28638That right, Westlake?"
28638That the way you treated the first three?"
28638The spare?"
28638Want the rope?"
28638Want to play Delilah?
28638We''ll leave Mormon where he is till he gits his sleep out, if you''ve no objection, marm?"
28638We''ll make him come through with twenty or thirty thousand, sabe?
28638Westlake, will you come erlong with me fo''a spell?"
28638Westlake?"
28638Westlake?"
28638What are you goin''to do about Molly?
28638What did they do?"
28638What do I do with the girl?"
28638What do you mean?"
28638What does Roarin''Russell do in the camp,"he asked Westlake, seemingly irrelevantly,"or ai n''t he shown yet?"
28638What else would you do with him?"
28638What if it meant lockjaw-- hydrophobia?
28638What in hell did I want with a doll?"
28638What kind of a place?
28638What of it?
28638What time do you- all git up?"
28638What w''ud you think of me if I let him slide?"
28638What was the trouble?"
28638What you goin''to do with yore ninety dollars?"
28638What you laffin''at?"
28638What you think, Sandy?
28638What''ll you have, folks?
28638What''s eatin''you?
28638What''s that got to do with it?"
28638What''s the charges?
28638What''s yore speshulty, kid?
28638When do we get another dividend from the Molly, Keith?"
28638When you goin''to have your phone put into the ranch, Sandy?"
28638Where in time did you- all drop from?"
28638Where you bound, Sandy?"
28638Where''ll I find him?"
28638Where''s Pedro?
28638Where''s the-- what in time are you totin''?
28638Where''s yore wife?"
28638Where''s your dad?

28638Who you got here?
28638Who''s playing the king in this deal?
28638Who''s tendin''it?"
28638Why did n''t you phone?
28638Why?"
28638Why?"
28638Will we, boys?"
28638Will you arrange?
28638Wo n''t you?
28638Wo n''t, eh?"
28638Wondeh how much eddication costs nowadays, Sam?
28638Wonder did he strain himself?"
28638Wonder how old she is?"
28638Wonder what she''s nosin''afteh now?
28638Wonder where she is?"
28638Wonder why?"
28638Would she ever now be satisfied with western ways?
28638Wyatt do n''t know about the caves, does he?
28638You ai n''t seen her, hev you?"
28638You ai n''t told her yet?"
28638You been havin''some trouble, ai n''t you?"
28638You been up to the main street this afternoon, Westlake?"
28638You do n''t want a good man out to the Three Star, Bourke?"
28638You fellers out fo''a picnic?"
28638You figgah he''s elopin''wiv that gal?"
28638You figger yore dad was a pritty good miner, I reckon?"
28638You figgerin''on wrastlin''Roarin''Russell by moonlight, after we git through down here?"
28638You matched for it, did n''t you?
28638You really want to go by my opinion?
28638You still in the cow business, Sandy?"
28638You wo n''t let''em take me?"
28638You''ll stay, Mirandy?"
28638You''re one of these women- haters, I s''pose?"
28638You''re sorry you swore, ai n''t you?"
28638You- all ai n''t got papers?"
28638asked Hahn"Leave her here in Split Rock Cave?"
28638he asked,"or was you aimin''to keep a- lookin''fo''that red- an''-white heifer?"
28638of the shares, if we ca n''t get more?"
28638protested Sam?
27115About Larry?
27115Am I to tell him I will?
27115And I need not ask you whether you would have had a hand in it?
27115And how you bound it up?
27115And now? 27115 And that is as far as you have got?"
27115And there was nothing else?
27115And what would Larry do without you?
27115And you are naturally taking steps to bring about the things that would suit you?
27115And you came to warn me?
27115And you?
27115And your father?
27115Anything wrong with your oxen?
27115Are n''t you a trifle late?
27115Are n''t you and Miss Schuyler rather far from home?
27115Are n''t you just a little stupid, Flo? 27115 Are n''t you talking like one of those German socialists?"
27115Are n''t you through with those songs yet, Clavering?
27115Are n''t you wasting time?
27115Are the boys on the look- out by the trail, Allonby?
27115Are we better, braver, stronger, or of choicer stuff than those others who have nothing, and only want the little the law would give them? 27115 Are you against us, too?"
27115Are you astonished?
27115Are you going on with the contract? 27115 Are you going to murder me, you condemned Dutchman?"
27115Are you quite sure that you have a great deal to forgive?
27115Are you quite sure the thing is within your ability?
27115Are you very tired?
27115Are you waiting for me?
27115Bad news?
27115Boys, can you see what they''re doing now?
27115Boys,said Clavering,"are you going to be beaten by Larry again?"
27115Brought your plough- cows along?
27115But how am I to do it?
27115But it was n''t because of that man Clavering?
27115But the trouble ca n''t last for ever, and when it is over you will come to me? 27115 But there is a difference?"
27115But where does Larry come in?
27115But you can believe that I am right, too?
27115But, Larry, will you tell me-- where we are going?
27115By the homestead- boys?
27115Ca n''t you do a nice thing without asking questions? 27115 Ca n''t you sing us something, Clavering?"
27115Ca n''t you tell him, Hetty? 27115 Ca n''t you understand?"
27115Clavering?
27115Could n''t you have given it to somebody to bring me? 27115 Could you explain this to your father, Hetty?
27115Dad,she asked more gravely,"what is it all about?"
27115Did Miss Torrance seem amused?
27115Did n''t that remind you of the Chicago Limited?
27115Did you ever contemplate the possibility of Miss Torrance marrying anybody here?
27115Did you ever see me hurt anything when I could help it in the old days, Hetty?
27115Did you expect thanks? 27115 Did you take out timber rights with your lease?"
27115Do n''t you get things of that kind?
27115Do n''t you like him? 27115 Do n''t you think Hetty and I could remember anything that you can?"
27115Do they come every week like this and, even in our big country, have we got room for all of them?
27115Do you know I was''most afraid you were going to make trouble for me?
27115Do you know what you have got here, Larry?
27115Do you remember any of it?
27115Do you think that would have counted for anything with such a man?
27115Do you think you could get me a real lively tarantula, Captain Cheyne?
27115Do you want me?
27115Does it not strike you that you have only regarded the affair from one point of view so far?
27115Does n''t he put it just a little curiously?
27115Does n''t it strike you that it would be very rough on Chris?
27115Does n''t your father write you?
27115Ever seen anybody fire off a gun?
27115Feeling kind of sick?
27115Flo, ca n''t you think of something?
27115Flo,said Hetty sharply,"what do you mean?"
27115Flo,she said sharply,"are we thinking the same thing?"
27115Flo,she said, with a little quiver in her voice,"what is the use of a girl like me?
27115Flo,she said,"are n''t you glad you came?
27115Flo,she said,"how can he?
27115Flo-- can''t you hear it? 27115 Folks?
27115From the Apache country?
27115Gave it to them?
27115Got any of those cigars with you, Clavering? 27115 Had n''t we better get on?"
27115Had n''t we better ride on?
27115Had n''t you better do something for the horse? 27115 Had n''t you better pull up and get down?"
27115Had n''t you better pull up and let me have the reins, Miss Torrance?
27115Had n''t you better ride home again before I turn the boys loose on you?
27115Had n''t you better think it over? 27115 Has anything led you to fancy that he has changed?"
27115Have I deserved these threats, sir?
27115Have n''t a good many folks to worry all the time?
27115Have you any brandy?
27115Have you let him get away?
27115Have you lost your head?
27115Have you the deerskin cigar- case you showed us with you? 27115 He brought back my letter to the Sheriff?"
27115He never tried to make love to you?
27115Hear anything, Jake?
27115Hetty,he said quietly,"I think you know why I have come to- night?"
27115Hetty,he said slowly,"ca n''t you understand?
27115How are they getting along at the Range?
27115How are we going to do it? 27115 How are you going to get anywhere?"
27115How can you?
27115How could I know he was coming?
27115How dare you tell me that?
27115How did he come there?
27115How did you like New Mexico?
27115How do you like this country?
27115How far are we off the long down grade with the curve in it?
27115I am sorry, but, Larry, ca n''t you understand? 27115 I am to understand that you did not warn the engineer or any of the railroad men?"
27115I do n''t want to remember them-- and what have they to do with what concerns us now?
27115I guess you know what''s inside it?
27115I wonder if you know how much you have done for me?
27115I wonder if you quite recognize the depth of Mr. Grant''s iniquity yet?
27115I''m in a tight place, Hopkins?
27115If you want to be unpleasant, Chris, ca n''t you try a different line? 27115 If you would not believe the man who lies there, will you take my word?"
27115In New York?
27115In fact,said the cavalry officer,"you do n''t feel disposed to tell me who the men that tried to burn your place were, or anything about them?"
27115Is it a garden party we are going to?
27115Is it very astonishing? 27115 Is she making good enough time to suit you?
27115Is that quite out of the question now?
27115Is that quite unusual?
27115Is there anybody else he has been giving music to?
27115Is this the place?
27115It is hard to ask you, Larry-- though I know it should n''t be-- but have you a few dollars that you could give me?
27115It is not what I meant to tell you, but does n''t this remind you of old times, Hetty?
27115It strikes you that way, too?
27115It was rash; but what could I do? 27115 It will come?"
27115Jake, ca n''t you get a shot at them?
27115Just finding it out, Hetty? 27115 Larry is in the thing?"
27115Larry''s friends?
27115Larry, you make me feel horribly mean; but you would not do anything that would hurt them, unless it was quite necessary?
27115Larry, you will take a roll of bills from me, and buy them whatever will make it a little less hard for them?
27115Larry,said her companion, and her voice had a curious ring,"what are you doing here?"
27115Larry,she said softly,"ca n''t you understand that one has to do the square thing to everybody?"
27115Larry,she said,"you are quite sure you do n''t know?"
27115Larry,she said,"you are sure-- quite sure-- you want me, and will be kind to me?"
27115Larry,the girl said hotly,"do you mean that we would be glad to pay them?"
27115Larry,the girl said very softly,"are you sure they need do that?
27115Larry? 27115 May I hear?"
27115Miss Schuyler is going with you?
27115More bad news?
27115Mr. Grant is recovering?
27115Mrs. Grant is resting well?
27115Nearly through?
27115No sign of him yet?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115No?
27115Not even when I ask you?
27115Now, could n''t you just let us talk to him? 27115 Now, you do n''t want to send me away?"
27115Now,she said softly,"do you think I could listen to Clavering?
27115Now,she said,"can you tell me what that means?"
27115Now-- and it is so long since I have seen you-- can''t we, for just a few minutes, forget our troubles?
27115Of what?
27115On the top?
27115One should never make wild guesses, should they, Miss Schuyler?
27115Quilter is not come? 27115 Sheriff Slocane?"
27115Something for Miss Torrance?
27115Still, you''d stand behind the men who pay you?
27115That''s square?
27115The men in it?
27115The other man?
27115The rest?
27115Then are n''t you very foolish?
27115Then it is of moment?
27115Then what are you stopping for?
27115Then why ca n''t you stay on over to- morrow and get a whole night at it? 27115 Then why do n''t you?"
27115Then why do you talk of it again?
27115Then will you be good enough to answer my question?
27115Then you like him?
27115Then, had n''t you better call them up and see? 27115 Then, they''re not always quite the same thing?"
27115Then, whatever are we to do?
27115Then, you are still very bitter against me?
27115Then, you have heard nothing of this?
27115Then, you will sing one of them?
27115Then,said Breckenridge,"why the devil did you bring a woman out to this forsaken country?"
27115They are married?
27115They''re real-- and it''s for me?
27115This is the truth?
27115Those men were chasing you?
27115Through the Sheriff?
27115Und,said Muller,"so you want to sell?"
27115Usually?
27115Was it necessary, sir?
27115Was it very dreadful, Hetty?
27115Was n''t Chris Allonby to have come over to- day?
27115Was n''t it always like that? 27115 We der trail pick up?"
27115Well, you''re pleased with it?
27115Well,said Hetty sharply,"what are you going to do?"
27115Well,said the girl,"that was very kind of you; but you''re quite sure you never gave Miss Torrance anything of this kind?"
27115Well,said the man slowly,"what else can I do?"
27115Well,said the man who had come with Muller, pointing to the wreck,"what started you smashing up the house?"
27115Well,she said, with a little tremor of anticipation in her voice,"what is inside it?"
27115Well?
27115Well?
27115What are the boys for?
27115What are they doing there? 27115 What are you doing here?"
27115What are you going to do with me?
27115What are you going to do?
27115What are you thinking of?
27115What are you thinking, Flo?
27115What brought you here?
27115What can be done?
27115What can they be plotting, Hetty?
27115What did you do then?
27115What do you do up there at nights?
27115What do you mean, Flo?
27115What do you think of the land, now you''ve seen it?
27115What do you want here, any way?
27115What do you want now?
27115What do you want?
27115What does his warning point to?
27115What has he fixed?
27115What have you been doing, Larry?
27115What have you found out?
27115What if he was mistaken, and they meant to try there after all? 27115 What is it?"
27115What is the Englishman telling you, Flo?
27115What is the matter with the girl, Hetty?
27115What kind of thing?
27115What made them attack him?
27115What''s the matter with her?
27115When are you coming, Hetty?
27115When is it to be?
27115Where are the boys, Hetty?
27115Where are you going?
27115Where did you get it?
27115Where did you get the dollars from?
27115Where did you put it, Hetty?
27115Where in the wide world would the crazy fools get another man like you? 27115 Where was I to take her to?
27115Which?
27115Who is in the bluff?
27115Who is in the bluff?
27115Who is it?
27115Who went out a moment or two ago?
27115Who would I stand in with but you?
27115Why did he take the oats to him?
27115Why do n''t you say something?
27115Why do you ask me?
27115Why have you whittled so much off the face value?
27115Why were you cutting it down?
27115Why, whatever are you doing here?
27115Why?
27115Why?
27115Will I pass?
27115Will Miss Torrance go away?
27115Will Muller bring Miss Torrance and her companion here?
27115Will it be any livelier there?
27115Will you drive Miss Schuyler slowly in the direction she was going, Breckenridge?
27115Will you hurry Tom up with the supper, while I look through my letters?
27115Will you let up, or do you want me to pound the life out of you?
27115Will you tell me who I have the honour of addressing?
27115Worth fighting for, is n''t it?
27115Would n''t it be better to forget those days?
27115Would n''t it be nicer as it is?
27115Would n''t you have done that?
27115Yes,said Clavering, with a dry smile,"Gordon shot one of them; but is it astonishing?
27115Yes?
27115Yes?
27115You are pleased with them?
27115You are quite straight with us in this?
27115You are quite sure they did n''t see you, Larry? 27115 You are quite sure?"
27115You are sure there were Americans among them?
27115You ask me that?
27115You believe that will come about?
27115You believe they will come?
27115You can''t-- how could I let you? 27115 You connived at the meetings between my daughter and the rascally adventurer who has married her?"
27115You could n''t have put it anywhere else?
27115You could not have meant that, father?
27115You did not accept their offer?
27115You do n''t know who he is?
27115You do n''t know?
27115You evidently consider Mr. Grant is taking an unwarranted liberty in persuading his friends to behave themselves as lawful citizens should?
27115You feel tolerably sure Harper was right about the bridge?
27115You find us a little dull to- night, Chris?
27115You have a kind of belief in the homestead- boys, Hetty?
27115You have been picking up some curious acquaintances, Larry; but do n''t you think you had better leave this thing to Torrance? 27115 You have come alone?"
27115You have done nothing for him?
27115You have n''t dared to make Mr. Clavering a prisoner?
27115You have no sympathy with Grant, Miss Allonby?
27115You have something to tell us?
27115You heard it, Larry?
27115You heard of that?
27115You heard what Miss Torrance told me?
27115You know how I got the letter?
27115You know that writing?
27115You know them?
27115You know what that is?
27115You like the prairie?
27115You saw what Jardine''s glass had gone down to?
27115You see what he means? 27115 You still believe your father right?"
27115You think he''s that kind of man?
27115You want me to be quite candid?
27115You want nobody else?
27115You were a friend of his?
27115You will scarcely approve, Miss Allonby?
27115You would be willing to take him?
27115You would try to persuade me Larry saved the train out of goodwill to us?
27115You''re quite sure you are right, Clavering?
27115You''re quite sure?
27115114"Are n''t you a trifle late?"
27115All quiet, Jake?"
27115Are n''t they splendid?"
27115Are n''t we playing a fool''s game, Clavering?"
27115Are there any more of you?"
27115Are there many of them?"
27115Are those dollars in the house?"
27115Are we cavalry troopers or a Sheriff''s posse, to do their work for them, and be kicked by way of thanks?
27115Are you coming in to supper?
27115Are you coming out?"
27115Are you going to bring your friends round here at night again?"
27115Are you likely to want me in the next half- hour?"
27115Are you not just a little inconsistent, Hetty?"
27115Are you prepared to deny it?"
27115Are you quite sure you would like to hand him over now?"
27115Asked anybody''s leave to cut that lumber, or put it up?"
27115Been in the cavalry?
27115Breckenridge?"
27115Breckenridge?"
27115But Larry was n''t there?"
27115But ca n''t we still be friends?"
27115But if you can take it quietly, I ought to, and the question is, what are you going to do?"
27115But what about Clarkson''s Lou?"
27115But while the cattle- men keep hold, how''s he going to get it?
27115But why should you, Hetty?"
27115But you will come back for a little?"
27115But you will keep it?"
27115By the way, should n''t the man with the money you are waiting for turn up to- night?"
27115Ca n''t one be friends with a nice man without falling in love with him?"
27115Ca n''t they have their notions and be straight men?"
27115Ca n''t we fix up a guard among the few sensible men or send for the cavalry?"
27115Ca n''t we go away and leave the trouble behind us?
27115Ca n''t you bring a light, so we can see him?"
27115Ca n''t you cross the ice, Larry?"
27115Ca n''t you give me just a minute now?"
27115Ca n''t you remember any?"
27115Ca n''t you remember that there was a time when you were kind to me?"
27115Ca n''t you see that it is wholly and altogether out of the question that I should ever think in that way of you?"
27115Ca n''t you see that would be horrible for Flo and me?
27115Ca n''t you see what the answer must be?"
27115Ca n''t you sit tight another month or two, instead of throwing all we have fought for away?"
27115Ca n''t you take anything from me?
27115Ca n''t you talk something kind of lively?"
27115Ca n''t you understand?
27115Can you hear anything, Flo?"
27115Did n''t it strike you that you were hurting him?
27115Did you hear anything at the settlement?"
27115Did you notice anything?"
27115Do they belong to you?"
27115Do you generally look at letters that do n''t belong to you, Chilton?"
27115Do you know any special reason why it would not be the square thing for you to marry my daughter?"
27115Do you know what you have been spending in the cities?"
27115Do you, Breckenridge?"
27115Does n''t it remind you of the big bluff-- only we had a black kettle then, and you made the fire of sticks?
27115Does n''t it strike you yet that it''s quite likely there''s a roll of dollar bills and a letter telling him what he has to do inside it?"
27115Flo, you will not leave me until the trouble''s through?"
27115Gentlemen, is it my duty to sit down quietly?"
27115Got any objections to us getting off here, boys?"
27115Grant?"
27115Grant?"
27115Had n''t you better get through with it?
27115Had n''t you better start in?"
27115Has it struck you that this campaign is going to cost us a good deal?
27115Have the stock- cars passed Perry''s siding?"
27115Have you anybody hurt inside?"
27115Have you anything to tell us?"
27115Have you got them?"
27115Have you heard from him since he went away?"
27115He did n''t know it was there, and it might have dropped out on the prairie, while, even if he found it, how is he going to get it back to me?
27115He handles all Larry''s dollars?"
27115Hetty''s voice was curiously quiet as she asked,"Was nothing done to provoke them?"
27115Hetty, ca n''t you see that your father would never give you to me, and you must choose between us sooner or later?
27115Hetty, if you had n''t driven so often beside me here, would you have done what you have to- night?"
27115How are you going to get the packet back?"
27115How can he be good when he wants to take our land from us?"
27115How could you have felt what you put into the music?"
27115How did you get down to the spirit of it, Hetty?"
27115I am not speaking generally: do you know any special reason-- one that may make trouble for both of you?
27115I ca n''t help being foolish, Hetty-- and is the thing actually burning?"
27115I mean the one we saw at the depot?"
27115I mean, what can be done for Larry?"
27115I presume you do n''t mind riding with him, although, like the rest of us, he is under the displeasure of your friends the cattle- barons?"
27115I think that''s the way you put it?"
27115I think you know me better than that, Hetty?"
27115I went without him knowing it and made my plans myself?"
27115I will wait patiently for the next; but I shall see you now and then?"
27115I wonder if you could tell me anything about him?"
27115I wonder if you know that with the way that the light falls that dusky panelling forms a most effective background, Miss Schuyler?"
27115If I did, they would know I had warned you-- and believe-- Can''t you understand, Larry?"
27115If I go on just as I''m doing, how long would you give me?"
27115If I let you go, you will promise not to make any more trouble for my father and Allonby, or anybody?"
27115If you saw they wanted anarchy, Larry, you would come back to us?
27115Is it thinking of the other man that has made you restless?
27115Is it wrong to kill a grizzly or a rattlesnake, or merciful to leave them with their meanness to destroy whatever they want?
27115Is n''t a faulty ruler better than wild disorder?"
27115Is n''t that plain?
27115Is n''t what we raise in California good enough for Americans?"
27115Is that Miss Torrance behind her?"
27115Is there any other thing-- that would be a little easier-- I could do to please you?"
27115Is there anything that could excite the least suspicion that Miss Torrance warned you?"
27115Is there anything you wish to buy?"
27115It sounds abominably egotistical, but you see what it is leading to?"
27115It was Larry who sent you those flowers when we could scarcely get one?"
27115It was agreed to, and Clavering said,"It seems to me, sir, that the first question is,''Could we depend upon the boys if we wanted them?''"
27115Larry has done his work thoroughly, and you would have me make friends with him?"
27115Larry, I wonder if we will ever feel just the same again?
27115Larry, ca n''t you see that just now you must not talk in that strain to me?"
27115Larry, how was it they did not tell you?"
27115Might one compliment you both on your evident desire to be fair to your enemies?"
27115Mr. Grant, will you come with me?"
27115Muller?"
27115Now, are you willing to stop the intimidation of the storekeepers, which has brought about this trouble, and let us get provisions in the town?
27115Now, before we start, are you all willing to ride with me?"
27115Now, do n''t you want to hear about your father and the Range?"
27115Now, does n''t it strike you that it''s your plain duty to keep clear of any unnecessary peril?"
27115Now, how did that man get hurt, and what is the trouble about?"
27115Now, if any folks came here and pulled our boundaries up to let the mean whites from back east in, what are you going to do?"
27115Now, what right had those men to arrest him?"
27115Quite sure it''s not a fit of temper?
27115Shall I drive you?"
27115Shall I go round and roll the boys up, Larry?"
27115Still, if Clavering has got hold of the right story, how the devil did the homestead- boys hear of it?"
27115Still, would n''t it make the thing more square if the other men had a good- natured Sheriff, too?"
27115Suppose you found they did n''t want to go along quietly, making this country better, but only to trample down whatever was there already?"
27115Suppose you heard Miss Torrance had been sending letters to Larry Grant?"
27115The crowd laughed again, and Flora Schuyler glanced at her companion with some astonishment as she asked,"Do you always talk to them that way?"
27115The din, however, ceased suddenly, when somebody said,"Had n''t you better let up, boys, or Torrance will figure you sent the band for him?"
27115The question is, what could they be wanted for?"
27115The question is, what you''re going to do with it?"
27115The time was almost up before a voice rose from the building:"Who are you, any way, and what do you want?"
27115Then there was a shout for the conductor, and somebody said,"You''ve no rustlers aboard for us?"
27115There was a little ironical laughter, and somebody asked,"Who''s going to stop us?"
27115There was nothing else?"
27115To be quite straight, is there much probability of our getting any of those dollars back?"
27115Torrance?"
27115Was it you or Hetty who drove, Miss Schuyler?"
27115Was that it, Hetty?"
27115Well, what is to be done with him?"
27115Well, you have some news?"
27115What about the singing?"
27115What are the men doing?"
27115What are you going to do if they try again?"
27115What brought you?"
27115What can Miss Schuyler want with opening the door?
27115What could induce her?"
27115What do you want me to stop there for?"
27115What do you want?"
27115What has he been doing?"
27115What made it fall over, any way?"
27115What was I superseded for, any way?"
27115What were you taking dollars from the cattle- men for, Larry?"
27115What would you do?"
27115What would you expect of an American if a horde of rabble who held nothing sacred poured into his house at night?
27115What''s the matter with your stove?"
27115Where are they all going to?"
27115Where did you put the book I was reading?"
27115Where is your father?"
27115Where would they be likely to head for?"
27115Where''s the Sheriff?"
27115Who can be coming at this hour?"
27115Who hired you?"
27115Who will follow me?"
27115Who''s Larry Grant?"
27115Why is he not here?
27115Why you der trouble like?"
27115Will that satisfy you?"
27115Will you wait and see me do what you have asked me?"
27115Would I have come here, knowing you could do what you liked with me, if I had meant any harm to you?"
27115Would Torrance, or Allonby, or the others, have done this thing?
27115Would anyone put up houses or raise cattle if he thought his neighbours could take them from him?
27115You are guarding the prisoner?"
27115You are not going to do anything senseless, Larry?"
27115You are quite sure of the writing?"
27115You are quite sure they have not changed their minds again?"
27115You are riding home?"
27115You are still decided not to go back to New York, Hetty?"
27115You are sure there is only one cow- boy in the hall, Hetty?"
27115You could n''t want to take away our land and give it to this rabble?"
27115You did n''t expect to find me a sharp- tongued Amazon still?"
27115You do n''t figure I''m scared of you?"
27115You do n''t sympathize with the homestead boys, Miss Torrance?"
27115You feel der cartridge?
27115You have been anxious about this, Hetty?"
27115You have come to help us against our enemies?"
27115You have got it down?"
27115You have known that a long while, have n''t you?"
27115You have n''t a grain of comfort to offer me?"
27115You have not been worrying him, Torrance?"
27115You have something to tell us, Torrance?"
27115You know I''m grateful for my liberty and would sooner take it from you than anybody else, do n''t you?"
27115You know what day this is?"
27115You see what I consider it prudent to write off the value of your property?"
27115You seem astonished?"
27115You want to know why?
27115You were heading for one of the cattle- men''s homesteads?"
27115You would n''t mind if I tried, Larry?
27115You would stay here with your men folk if there was trouble?"
27115You''ve heard of that mark before?"
27115[ Illustration:"AREN''T YOU A TRIFLE LATE?"

30313About what?
30313Ah, vat''s de matter mit ye?
30313Ai n''t it a shame to waste all that stuff on a preacher?
30313All right, then; why not make_ that_ your subject for the next sermon? 30313 All right,"said Hopkins,"now how much money do you want, and how long to make good?"
30313And have a fight with my folks? 30313 And how did ye like my sermon?"
30313And the horses, which did you ride?
30313Anything in sight?
30313Are these men Catholics?
30313Are you William Kenna?
30313Are you going to keep him in this country or ride him back?
30313Are you prepared to outline the plan by which you would contribute to the local solution of these national problems?
30313Are you ready?
30313Are you sure?
30313Belle, why do you talk of such a thing? 30313 Belle,"he said huskily,"what did he say?"
30313Break him down and get anotherwas the method in vogue; and the test of a rider was,"Can he ride a horse to death?"
30313But do you realize you have broken with the Church? 30313 But, say, ye ai n''t in training, are ye?"
30313Can I do anything for you to- day in my line? 30313 Can I do anything to help?"

30313Did the Soldier High Chief want a race this year?
30313Did-- did he tell you anything?
30313Do him now?
30313Do n''t they need it, and are n''t they awfully weak on these things?
30313Do n''t you see, Jim, how much better it was to stop then? 30313 Do they have to pay?"
30313Do you see that horse? 30313 Fwhat are ye doing?"
30313Has John been giving you an outline of our policy in the matter of lapsing premiums and residuary annuities?
30313Have you any final statement to make?
30313Here now, boys, who will start him at five dollars? 30313 How did you cross the creek?"
30313How is Blazing Star? 30313 How is that?"
30313How much?

30313Is he shot?
30313Is he wounded?
30313Is it too far to ride there?
30313Is it? 30313 Is the doctor with him?"
30313Jim Hartigan cannot-- isn''t brave enough?
30313Jim, dear boy, why do you take it so hard? 30313 Jim, dear love, do n''t you see?
30313Jim, do you know the name of the Indian that got your stake?
30313Jim, do you really care so much?
30313Just what do you mean, Jack? 30313 Knew what, Jim dear?
30313Look at that neck, Belle, see how it arches, see the clean limbs; is n''t he trained to perfection? 30313 May I be present, Jim?"
30313May we see him?
30313My dear boy, do n''t you see how serious it is?
30313Never since?
30313No; are you?
30313Now what''s going to happen?
30313Now, Mr. Hartigan, why do n''t you insure that horse of yours? 30313 Now, children"( she loved to be maternal),"what do you want to do to- morrow?"
30313Now, where shall we go? 30313 Now, where, Jim?"
30313Now,said Jim softly,"will you be after pulling a little?
30313Oh, Jim, you big, blind, childish giant; do you never think? 30313 Oh, that''s what ye want, is it?"
30313Once, or more than once?
30313Partly; how did it strike you?
30313Say, Bill, ye ai n''t going to be took?
30313See that, Belle? 30313 See that?
30313Shall I leave you now?
30313So that''s what you borrowed my team for? 30313 Tell you what?"
30313Their own what?
30313Then why do n''t you come to hear it?
30313Then why in the divil did ye blame me for it?
30313There, Belle, could anything be plainer? 30313 They always went up into the hills to pray, Belle, did n''t they?
30313Thinking of what?
30313This was what it was for; how did the heathens know it was coming?
30313Time did n''t count?

30313Was n''t it''Hannah- pecked''now?
30313We understand each other better now, Jim, do n''t we? 30313 Well, Jim, ca n''t I persuade you to enlist?
30313Well, did you catch on?
30313Well, do you remember licking a young fellow there for jerking the roof log out of the hotel with your masting team of oxen?
30313Well, where does the Salvation Army come in, Belle?
30313Well,said Jim gruffly, almost savagely,"what''s to do?"
30313Well; does n''t that help to prove that he is alive?
30313Were you ever at Links, Ontario?
30313Were you ever in love?
30313Were you ever under the influence of liquor before?
30313What are you going to feed him on? 30313 What are you going to give us next time?"
30313What can I do for you?
30313What do ye mean letting me bhoy do that fool thing to risk his life and limb? 30313 What do you suggest?"
30313What do you think?
30313What do you want here?
30313What do you want?
30313What does it say?
30313What does she want?
30313What is it, Belle? 30313 What is it, Jim?"
30313What is it?
30313What is next Sunday''s lesson?
30313What is the matter?
30313What is the subject to be?
30313What was the_ good_ thing that struck you most when you came among us?
30313What would you consider a fair price, Colonel?
30313What''s that?
30313What''s the matter with you?
30313What''s your idea?
30313What-- what do you mean?
30313What? 30313 What?
30313What? 30313 What?"
30313When the greasewood blooms, on the white man''s big noisy wet Sunday?
30313When was that?
30313When?
30313When?
30313When?
30313Where are you going?
30313Where could I come from but Cedar Mountain?
30313Where do you suppose he went?

30313Who is he?
30313Who is she?
30313Who, in Heaven''s name, is concealing you? 30313 Why do n''t you go to church?"
30313Why do n''t you swap him for something that can stand the country?
30313Why do you want to hear this man?
30313Why not now?
30313Why not? 30313 Why not?
30313Why not?
30313Why not?
30313Why not?
30313Why not?
30313Why should her child be sent to work? 30313 Why should n''t I have one or two drinks?
30313Why, Jim? 30313 Why?
30313Why?
30313Why?
30313Will any one bid on this fine young colt? 30313 Will ye give yer word, Bill?"
30313Will you agree to that?
30313Will you ever look at me again? 30313 Will you go before the deacons of the church and tell them that-- if it is necessary?"
30313Will you lift me down?
30313Will you take the first chance to offer that to Hartigan? 30313 Will you take the lines now?"
30313Will you, Belle? 30313 Will you, Belle?
30313Would you give up the ministry if I asked you?
30313Would_ you_ give five hundred dollars?
30313Ye ai n''t promise bound now, are ye?
30313Ye mean it?
30313Yes, I thought so,said the little deacon,"and how was it worked?"
30313Yes, they are,said Belle,"but----""But what?"
30313Yes; that''s a mystery; how can they tell? 30313 You do care for me, do n''t you?"
30313You got there late?
30313You mean you will break with the Church?
30313You no got him back yet-- no?
30313You say he''s a great speeder; will you try him against Kyle''s horse?
30313You would? 30313 You_ will_ pray for us, wo n''t you?
30313_ Now_, please ma''am, what am I to do?
30313A man moved to the door again demanding:"Who''s there?"
30313Admit that there was danger from that creature?
30313After gazing a while, he turned to the railway agent and said:"How far off is that mountain top?"
30313Age?
30313Ai n''t I been through it?
30313Ai n''t that the real magollyon?
30313Ai n''t there some blood there?"
30313Ai n''t you the party he''s looking for?
30313And he thought:"Is n''t she fine?
30313And the Bylow boys, and the Mountain?
30313And then what?
30313And what was to hinder?
30313And who shall blame her for gloating a little over the deacons who, in the beginning, were unwilling to recognize her?
30313And yet if he actually saw, with his own eyes, the keg emptied of its contents, what trick could there be?
30313And yet, what may happen if he is East and she is playing around, with me far away?
30313Anything?"
30313Anyway, why should they?
30313Are they going to race at Fort Ryan this year?
30313Are you willing to sell Blazing Star?"
30313As Carson and Hartigan walked down the street, the doctor said:"Well, what do you think of Woman Suffrage now?"
30313As Hartigan appeared, swinging a big stick and singing"The Wearing of the Green,"Shives asked:"Well, Jim, how much did you lose?"
30313As he wheeled and galloped back, he shouted:"You saw that, Belle?
30313As you seem to have it on paper, would you mind leaving the document?"
30313Belle was for following, but Jim said,"Would you mind holding the horses?
30313Belle, Belle, what will you say?"
30313But I wonder why you take all this trouble with me?"
30313But he lingered and chatted till the dishes were washed; then he suggested:"If I go out and saddle your pony, will you show me that jump?"
30313But what was it in the trampling horses that stirred some undiscovered depth in his own heart?
30313But why do n''t you buy Blazing Star, Colonel?"
30313But why should he help the enemy''s horse?
30313But, of course, he knew nothing of the handling; was this top speed?
30313Bylow?"
30313CHAPTER XLIX The Power of Personality"Who is that?"
30313CHAPTER XLVI What Next?
30313CHAPTER XXXIV Springtime Have you seen the springtime dawn on the Black Hills?
30313Ca n''t you see where Blazing Star was taking you?
30313Ca n''t you take me?"
30313Can you get a good buckboard?"
30313Could he not ride with any man?
30313Could it be that he was the butt of a practical joke?
30313Could ye do that?"
30313Did he interfere in a spree?"
30313Did n''t they come and run their horse against ours in a trial, right here on the garrison track, without asking our leave?
30313Do n''t ve vote settin''down?"
30313Do n''t you know I have thought it all out?
30313Do n''t you know I mean to keep you here?
30313Do n''t you know I''m trying to help you?
30313Do n''t you think the governor might intervene with at least a commutation?"
30313Do you realize, Jim, that it means good- bye to the prairies, good- bye to the hills, and good- bye to Midnight?"
30313Do you remember that the prophets of old always did so when they sought light?
30313Do you remember what I said-- you must go back to college?
30313For her it was the crowning of their lives; had she not helped to make it possible?
30313For the love of God-- come-- come-- come at once--_Blazing Star is gone!_""_ What?_"and the Colonel sprang up.
30313God what have I done?
30313Had she not that very week denounced the opportunist doctrine that the end justifies the means?
30313Hartigan turned to the half- breed interpreter to ask,"What do you want him shod for?"
30313Hartigan?"
30313Hartigan?"
30313Has n''t the attendance doubled since I came?"
30313Have ye anything on your mind, Belle?"
30313Have ye no sense, the lot of ye?
30313He bent toward her:"Will you be one of the appointed governors for the rest of the year?"
30313He stopped at the very spot and said:"Little girl, do you know what happened here about a year ago?"
30313He was himself so much, could he be also a part of this wonder- world?
30313He went on:"What do you think I should do?"
30313Healing for the body and healing for the soul, and my healing is for the estate-- happy trinity, is n''t it?
30313Here, Jack, will ye kindly drop this in the contribution box for the orphans while we watch you?"
30313His first question was:"Where is he?"
30313Hopkins spoke first:"Is the boss in?"
30313How came it that those lines drove fogbanks back and showed another height in his soul, a high place never seen before, even by himself?
30313How could he stand by and see the whole settlement skinned alive by Red Injins when he had the game in his own hands?
30313How could repentance wipe out the self- brought injury?
30313How could she run a bar- room?
30313How could she, who had seen the horror of the drink madness, have a hand in setting it in the way of weak ones?
30313How did you come in, by rail or by the trail?"
30313How does it strike you, Belle?"
30313How is that?"
30313How many a man has all his dream of bliss summed up in that one word-- college?
30313How much was each stake to be held or awarded?
30313How?
30313How_ can_ he see anything in her?
30313Howsomever, it''s done; now the question is, what next?
30313I wonder if you know what that Rock means to me with that little thread of smoke going up?
30313If I had gone my way, where should I be now?
30313Ignoring all others, he went to Colonel Waller''s house and, in his usual deliberate way, after smoking, he began:"Maybe so, you bet big?"
30313In what capacity?
30313Is it Belle or Blazing Star?"
30313Is it Belle or Blazing Star?''"]
30313Is it not courage to see things through, no matter how black they look?"
30313Is n''t it queer the way dreams melt into reality?"
30313Is n''t it worth while making a bid for his support?
30313Is n''t that so?"
30313Is that your idea, Pat?"
30313It was made clear that these were offered as stakes; would the whites match up the goods?
30313It''s a thousand times better to have them go away saying:''Why did he stop so soon?''
30313Jim said:"If I ca n''t trust you, who is there left to trust?"
30313Jimmy, ye brat, do ye want to break yer mother''s heart?
30313Kyle began:"Say, young fellow, is that horse for sale?"
30313Married before?
30313May I call on you to- morrow?"
30313Maybe so-- yes?"
30313Maybe so-- yes?"
30313No?
30313Now I want to know are women eligible for office in this club?"
30313Now what''s next?"
30313Of what possible value, he asked himself again and again, could it be to know the history of Nippur?
30313Oh, Belle, will you ever forgive me?
30313Only ask what would the Master have done?"
30313Reader of this tale, do you recall the history of Cedar Mountain-- how the church grew strong in the newly given strength?
30313Red Cloud smoked a while, then resumed:"Heap afraid, maybe so?"
30313She laughed happily and went on as if he were opposing the project:"Why not, Jim?
30313Squeaks, cool and sarcastic, said:"Why do n''t ye do it now?"
30313Tell me what it is, Belle?"
30313The Attorney General of the Province wrote:"Why have you not arrested the man who committed that assault?
30313The interpreter got down and approaching Shives, said,"You can shoe pony, when he ai n''t never been shod?"
30313The magnitude of the disaster was almost national, he felt, and sadly, shyly, he said:"Will you have the flag at half- mast, Colonel?"
30313The mayor pulled out a drawer, produced a form, and rattled off the usual questions: Name?
30313Then Belle spoke:"Is this the only answer I am to have-- after coming so far?"
30313Then a heavy voice:"Who''s there?"
30313Then in Stockings''s ear:"I think I like him-- don''t you, old runaway?"
30313Then she added:"Will you let me know what you decide to preach on?"
30313Then she continued:"What is it you of all people admire most in a man?
30313Then to Belle:"Will you testify that this is the woman?"
30313Then, abruptly:"I''m Miss Boyd; are n''t you the new preacher?"
30313Then, after a pause,"We bet Pine Ridge, you bet Fort Ryan-- yes?"
30313Then, getting no response, he burst out:"What the divil is the matter with my little girl to- day?
30313Then, suddenly, she said:"Have you seen Colonel Waller lately?"
30313Up Cedar Mountain, to Fort Ryan, or where?"
30313Was ever power put to more devilish use?"
30313Was it loyalty to Belle that led her to throw up a barrier between herself and the Preacher?
30313Was it near and little, or far and big?
30313Was not he, Jim Hartigan, a more eloquent speaker now, by far, than Silas McSilo, who read his Greek testament every morning?
30313Were they not able to keep her at home?
30313What Next?
30313What are you riding these days?"
30313What chance in a fight has forty- five against twenty- five?
30313What do you accuse me of, exactly?"
30313What do you make of it?"
30313What have I done?"
30313What place were they to occupy in this maelstrom?
30313What right has a worm like me to vote?"
30313What was the good of parents giving years to toil if not to keep their children at home with them?"
30313What was to be done?
30313What you give for follow Crow?
30313What''ll ye drink?"
30313What''s that to you?"
30313What''s the good of a club where you ca n''t have no fun?
30313What''s the matter with right now?"
30313When and where should it be?
30313Where in the world did you come from?"
30313Where was he headed?
30313Where was the justice in punishing one being for another''s sins?
30313Where''s your horse?
30313Where, then, could they meet their kind?
30313Which do you say?"
30313Which is it to be?"
30313White scout no follow trail?"
30313Whither?
30313Who that knows the horse will doubt it?
30313Who was to be stake holder?
30313Who''s left that corral gate open?"
30313Why bother when the horse was going to have a walk- over?
30313Why did n''t he enter Blazing Star?
30313Why do n''t men go to church?
30313Why do n''t you cut out all this piffling holy talk and go in for something you can do?
30313Why do you get that far- off troubled look?"
30313Why do you look so terribly upset, Jim?"
30313Why has no effort been made to administer justice?"
30313Why not have a drink all round and then talk it over?"
30313Why not take out an insurance policy on Blazing Star''s winning?
30313Why put it into words?
30313Why should an exception be made in his case?
30313Why should such a one devote his power to mere denominationalism?
30313Why should the cuneiforms have any bearing on the morals of a backwoods Canadian?
30313Why should the worldly- wise companion he had chosen be left out?
30313Why should these two horses be so carefully trained?
30313Why should you care?
30313Why should you worry?
30313Why?
30313Why?
30313Why?
30313Why?
30313Why?
30313Will you be my wife?
30313Will you come in?"
30313Will you face it?"
30313Will you not help her with the rent till strawberry time, when she expects to get a little money?''
30313Will you promise?"
30313Will you ride again?"
30313Wo n''t you be after having a drink of water?"
30313Wo n''t you take me?"
30313Wo n''t you, boys?"
30313Would any business man make note of such things?
30313Would the bottom of the prairie pony overmatch the legs of the blooded horse?
30313Would the grace of God be less effective if the purveyor of it was unaware of what Sprool''s Commentaries said about the Alexandrian heresy?
30313Yes?
30313Yet, after all, what did it matter?
30313You admit being under the influence of liquor at Bylow''s?"
30313You are not going to let a technicality lead you into murder?"
30313You call theirs a Church?"
30313You get the gold?
30313You great, glorious, wonderful, blind Jim Hartigan, do n''t you know that I love you?
30313You need a holiday; why should n''t we go and drink a long deep draught of life in the hills and sage?
30313You saw it?
30313You swear to the truth of each and all of the statements?"
30313You''ll be kind to him?"
30313Young man, do you realize that this is the House of God, which you have so criminally destroyed?"
30313or was it knowledge that the flowers are ever fairest in the fenced- in field?
30313or was the driver holding the horse in?
30313she said,"does Belle know about this insurance business?"
30313who''s this?"
41529''Camels, sargint?'' 41529 ''De- formed?''"
41529''Hell''ses he,''ca n''t you see they''s all de- formed?'' 41529 ''Sure,''he ses, ses he''did n''t Custer''s band use to play mounted, an''why ca n''t my band do the same?''
41529''What skeered your cows, Pat?'' 41529 ''What we goin''to do with''em?''
41529''What''s up?'' 41529 ''What''s wrong with''em?''
41529About what?
41529Ahead of the sheriff?
41529An''did n''t they never find Jackson''s body, Colly?
41529An''did n''t they never find out what went with the Chink?
41529And Brown?
41529And the kid?
41529But how did Pickerell git holt of that there Chink''s body?
41529But the sheep, Jim?
41529But we''ll take the team with us; how can he move camp?
41529Camel hunting?
41529Did n''t you help hunt for''em?
41529Did not the_ patron_ tell us to remain here until he came, and yet, shall we stay and die when the fire comes?
41529Do n''t you git it, Bob?
41529Do you mean sure enough camels, camels with humps on''em like what we seen at the circus in Albuquerque las''fall?
41529Do you reckon we could make a stab at some sort of a Christmas tree an''kinda s''prise the kid in the morning?
41529Do you reckon we''ll have much trouble swimmin''these steers tomorrow?
41529Hm, Shucks, wants a railroad train, hey? 41529 Hm, shucks,"he commented grimly,"wo n''t them there boys in the bunk house give me particular hell for this night''s work?"
41529Hog- eye, where you been sence I seen you last fall a year ago over on the Tonto steer round up?
41529How about huntin''of''em, Pat?
41529How about it?
41529How big a district you got, anyhow?
41529How long did you last on the cornstalk job?
41529Huntin''for a dead Chink?
41529I says,''Bill, you ai n''t a- goin''to try to swim it, are you?'' 41529 I want to hold sweet converse with him,_ muy pronto, sabe_?"
41529Imagine Ed''s shots hit the steer, Windy?
41529Jim,he queried,"do you know what night this is?"
41529Less''see,he asked,"what''s Dummy''s real name?"
41529Makin''sure enuff music?
41529Me?
41529Mought I tell it jist as I want to, jist as I done tole it to you down to the hotel?
41529Nancy,he demanded,"ai n''t you got nothing for me this grand Christmas morning?"
41529Now here''s this kid we''ve drawed in the last deal; nice enough boy, I reckon, but who''s goin''to play nursey to him up in these here hills?
41529Now would n''t it jist be hell if the plunder did n''t come in time for them kids to have their Christmas tree?
41529One day a odd- lookin''four- eyed feller comes along, and he ses to Pick,''Mought I inspect this mummy of your''n?'' 41529 Pickerell, he laughed sort of tickled like, an''ses to me,''Why do n''t you quit and go back to Arizony, where the sun shines all the time?''
41529Say Dick,shouted the man behind him,"ai n''t you going to ask us to all the doings when them wedding bells cut loose?"
41529Say, Bill,he called,"is that a bunch of sheep there, or are my eyes fooling me?"
41529Say, wo n''t that old Hashknife iron loom up big on them ribs some day?
41529Señor?
41529The, the-- gal,he gasped, never taking his eyes from the woman''s face,"the little gal, wh-- what come of her?"
41529Them pups?
41529Turn the rope loose,you say?
41529Whar did ye find any camels hereabouts,''ceptin in a circus?
41529Whar was it, an''how did it happen?
41529What for do n''t they let any dead body be taken out of this here country?
41529What happened to Deafy and how did he get out?
41529What on earth do you mean by camel hunting? 41529 What would''st thou do, Panchito?"
41529What ye mean by that?
41529What you want out?
41529What you wanting mostly?
41529What''s doing?
41529Where are her pups?
41529Where''s Beauty?
41529Where''s he at?
41529Where''s that kid?
41529Where''s the kid?
41529Which way''s the wind?
41529Why, Pablo boy,_ muchacho mio_, how did you pull through this hell fire and save yourself and the sheep too?
41529Ye''member that there young kid- like chap what drifted in here last spring after the steer gatherin''?
41529You know the place?
41529You mean Casabianca?
41529You picked a load into us the very first hour after we landed on the ranch, did n''t you? 41529 You sure did n''t stop to hunt camels then, did you?"
41529''Do ye surely mean what ye be a- sayin''?''
41529''Why,''ses he,''did n''t I see wid me own eyes in Paris, a army band all mounted an''a- ridin''an''a- playin''like good fellies?''
41529And what do you think it was?
41529And yet they will suddenly stop, throw up their heads, look at one another as if to say,"What on earth were you running for?"
41529Barker?"
41529Ca n''t some of ye say a little prayer, or repeat a few lines of Scripter?"
41529Did n''t take him but a second to know it were a hemorrhage; beats all what them fellers do learn at them colleges, do n''t it?
41529Did you hear the yarn that stray man was a- tellin''in camp tonight?"
41529Didst hear him say we were not to leave this camp while he was away?
41529Do chipmonks have hydryfoby?
41529Ever been at that there Jacob''s Well?"
41529Has he come home yet?
41529Have n''t they got the slipperiest backs?
41529He looks mighty serous when he gits thar an''he sed:''I reckin''this little chap''s mighty porely; what be ye a- feedin''him?''
41529Is it not so, my brave Pancho?"
41529Is n''t that what you said they used to call the fellow who hunted up the horses every morning on the round- ups?
41529Lord, did n''t Peck wake up suddenlike, an''squall for help?
41529P. S. Pa, did you ever useto sleep with your boots for a pillow out on the plains?
41529P. S. Say, Pa, do skunks out on the plains look like little kittens?
41529P. S. What''s good for a burnt finger where you burnt it trying to pick the coffee pot off the fire to keep it from boiling over?
41529Pa, what makes the red come out of the quilts where they get rained on?
41529Pick were powerful glad to see me and he sed, ses he,''What be ye a doin''here, Jackson?''
41529Reckon the kid''ll know what it is?
41529Savvey?"
41529Say, Dad, did you ever pack a burro?
41529Say, Dad, did you ever try to open a big steel trap-- especially one with a spotted dog in it?
41529Say, Pa, you know that quilt mother let me bring along, the one she said you and she had when you first got married?
41529Shall we not care for them as for our own?
41529Take''em up toward the top if you go anywhere; but keep your camp here an''stay with it till I come back, savvey?"
41529The_ patron_ would be back that night, but until then Pablo must stay where he was, for had he not been told to do so?
41529There''s ten_ negros_,_ tres campanas_, an''_ cinco chivos_; reckon you can keep track of''em all?"
41529We were all sleepy and cold, and as we gathered around the fire to eat, some one said,"Where''s Flowers?"
41529Well, do you s''pose she''d care if it was tore some?
41529What could he do?
41529What kin we dig up to put onto it that''s fittin''for such a thing?"
41529What should he do?
41529What was he talkin''about?"
41529When he says, sort of startled- like,''Fire, where?''
41529When we struck this sign an''seed what sh''d done, one of the boys says, says he,''Fellers, ai n''t she a trump, an''no mistake?''
41529Who else than they would have removed the cartridges from all those cylinders and replaced them with empty shells?
41529Who ever heard tell of any of them critters down this- a- way?"
41529Who let him loose?"
41529You know the way, do n''t you?"
41529You''ve been humbugging us all this time, have n''t you?"
41529[ Illustration][ Illustration] CAMEL HUNTIN''By permission_ The Breeder''s Gazette_, Chicago, Ill."Did any of yez ever go camel huntin''?"
41529_ Dear Pa_: You know Billy''s dog Spot?
41529steer round up?"
38018''Do you wish to win fame and wealth thereby?'' 38018 ''Must I be kind to Spotted Bear?
38018About when will that be?
38018Ah, Omney-- see?
38018All right, Tally, but do n''t you think the girls ought to share in the reward for the wolves? 38018 All the same, others take these trips safely,--why should n''t experienced scouts?"
38018And the ladies?
38018Anything left in Pandora''s box for us poor creatures?
38018Are they having fits?
38018Are those the wolves we heard last night?
38018Are you the Indian maiden the guide was to meet to- day?
38018Art hungry? 38018 As it was impossible to''travel light''with two bears, is n''t it much better the way we arranged it, girls?"
38018As they are tried and trusty scouts, they are fit for any trial of courage or endurance-- is that enough?
38018Because we were_ on_ that one,--but which one was it?
38018But how did you manage to get down to the promontory, Julie?
38018But there_ was_ a flat meadow where we camped, was n''t there?
38018But what is there to put it in?
38018But where is Jolt?
38018Ca n''t Featherweight sit still?
38018Ca n''t we catch them and train them?
38018Ca n''t you stop it?
38018Can we find a better place for dinner than this grand cliff?
38018Dear, you will persuade Gilly not to lead us into such places?
38018Did any one hang up the saddles to- night?
38018Did you say he was standing upon his feet?
38018Did you think a dead one made those tracks?
38018Did you? 38018 Do n''t I always manage to get out of trouble again without causing any fatality-- only amusement for the Troop?"
38018Do n''t you suppose others have been in this beautiful spot? 38018 Does that mean we ca n''t go any farther than Steamboat Springs?"
38018Eager-- what for? 38018 Gilly, how came these vast mountains here?"
38018Gilroy, how do you explain the queer fact that the higher we go on these grand heights, the more stunted we find the trees? 38018 Going to get wet, Tally?"
38018Got packs out, Tally?
38018Have you been there, yet?
38018Have you formed_ any_ idea of how we are going to travel to the Divide?
38018He and Mr. Gilroy seem to get on so wonderfully, do n''t they?
38018How can you be sure you have killed this demon?
38018How far is the Continental Divide from Loveland?
38018How long shall you folks want to use the horses?
38018How many canoes have you?
38018How many horses will you need?
38018How so?
38018I had thought of doing that, but the point at issue now seems Wyoming''to be or not to be?''
38018I wonder what sort of an outfit the guide will take?
38018If Tally knew of this place,--and it is evident that he did,--why did he not tell us of it, so that we could climb up and see it in the morning? 38018 If every one can have a mountain named after them, why ca n''t I have one called''Juliet''s Peak''?"
38018If five scouts dangle from my apron- strings, how can I scramble for myself?
38018If it blows this way, what must we do?
38018If we agree to tie ourselves to your apron- strings, Verny, will you feel resigned to our going?
38018If we are so near by, why ca n''t we visit them all?
38018Is Mr. Lewis going right back to Denver, did you say?
38018Is Tally back?
38018Is it named Gory, Gilly, because so many Red Men scalped the early settlers out here?
38018Is it the winter''s snow that piles up on mountaintops and freezes?
38018It''s a Sodom and Gomorrah for desolation, is n''t it?
38018Jo, is there anything wrong with my eyes? 38018 Julie, what_ do you_ mean?"
38018Must we go down any of them?
38018Now, Julie, do you still care to experience a hand- to- hand battle with a slide?
38018Now, how do you s''pose? 38018 Now, what can that be?
38018O Julie, you''re not going daffy, are you?
38018Oh, a real live bear?
38018Oh, are they, really?
38018Oh, where? 38018 Oh, why did we ever come this way?"
38018Scout hear beaver work? 38018 See on limb dere-- where deer must go if she like to get out?"
38018Sha n''t we take our sleeping- bags, Verny?
38018Shall we camp here for luncheon?
38018Shall we follow that trail around the pond?
38018Tally, did you look after the leather?
38018Tally, shall we reach Boulder to- night?
38018Tally,called she, turning to beckon the Indian,"see if this is smoke, will you?"
38018Tell me, do ledge end in hole like dis- a- one do?
38018Then we ca n''t go through, can we?
38018Wad yuh tink, Omney-- do we try him?
38018Was ever cathedral so solemn, so beautiful, as this of Nature?
38018Was it big enough for rabbit pie?
38018Well, Tally, how about trekking northwards?
38018Well, Tally, what do you make it out to be?
38018Well, what of that? 38018 What do they intend doing with those they lasso, Gilly?"
38018What do you mean, Tally?
38018What do you mean, boys?
38018What do you mean?
38018What do you scouts intend doing with Snap and Yap when we start on the trail again?
38018What does that mean, Uncle? 38018 What for?
38018What is it afraid of, Tally?
38018What is it, Gilly?
38018What is it, Tally?
38018What is it-- a rattler?
38018What now, Tally?
38018What old man?
38018What was your next point of interest, had we gone over the pass as you had planned?
38018What''s that?
38018What''s the map for? 38018 What''s the matter with him?"
38018What''s the matter?
38018When can we start for the Rockies, Gilly?
38018When?
38018Where do you plan to go from here, Gilly?
38018Where is he now, Gilly?
38018Where? 38018 Why are you going this way, Julie-- why not stick to the shore line?"
38018Why ca n''t Mr. Lewis take back our pelts and the cubs, and express them home for us?
38018Why do n''t you take the money and deposit it for them in a bank?
38018Why do n''t_ you_?
38018Why do they build another pond when there is such a big one above?
38018Why not eat, Maiden? 38018 Why not have Verny and Betty, the two tender scouts of the troop, stay and strike camp?"
38018Why not let that Indian take charge of one canoe? 38018 Why should they swarm about now, when we never saw one on the way here?"
38018Why stop there, then? 38018 Why, is n''t that funny?
38018Will you tell me what I want to know--_was there a meadow_?
38018Yes, Gilly, why are they not scattered impartially over the land?
38018Yes, Verny, just like Julie''s dream, eh? 38018 Yes; did n''t every one say how well she was after last summer''s camp in the Adirondacks?"
38018You do n''t think we shall be running any risks, do you?
38018You say you tak him?
38018You seem not to like our luxurious schooner?
38018You would n''t say that was a little fire, would you?
38018A fire in the forest?"
38018All that volume of sound?"
38018And why is n''t this old castle on the road- map, with a note telling tourists of the magnificent view from this height?"
38018Any change in plans?"
38018At such sounds, the girls would murmur sleepily,"Did you see any old trees near camp?"
38018Back out all along this narrow ledge?"
38018But she coyly asked,''What must I do to keep my word with you?''
38018CHAPTER ELEVEN ON TO FLAT TOP MOUNTAIN What would a trip in the Rockies mean without an Indian guide?
38018Can Messer Gilloy see much wind thoo glass?"
38018Could the latter be a descendant of this Medicine Man''s?
38018Did they not leap and run joyously without a sound?
38018Did you ever see them act like this before?"
38018Did you think I wanted to be left on a desert shore?"
38018Didst ever think of how Spotted Bear caused the child to suffer when it went down in the water?"
38018Do we have to cross it?"
38018Do you think the mule is all right?"
38018Don''you know dem bad rats eat all up?"
38018Every little while they asked,"_ Now_ how far are we from Boulder?"
38018Finally Julie cried, scornfully,"Can you find anything in that scene besides patches where food is grown?"
38018Hast aught to say to that?"
38018Have we lost him?"
38018Have we trailed along some other way?"
38018Have you ever felt like this before-- as if you could hike as far as the Continental Range without feeling weary?"
38018Here is a party with a number of canoes but no horses, and here are we with horses but no canoes-- see my point?"
38018How about it?"
38018How could the poor thing hope to escape from a panther and a lynx?
38018How do you like it?"
38018I fancy Tally knows horseflesh and would not be taken in by the dealers, eh, Gilly?"
38018Is n''t it awful to have had such freedom all summer and then return to prison cells again for feet and body?"
38018Is not this life in grand communion with Mother Nature better than the cliff- dwellers in great cities ever have?"
38018Julie began to question the wisdom of this reckless act of hers; but having come so far, how could she back out gracefully?
38018Julie made no demur, although she said, warningly,"Do n''t let go of the canoe for a second, will you?"
38018Later, as they sat about the campfire, Betty asked,"Gilly, what is it that makes a glacier?"
38018Losing half the scouts in a whirlpool because of a silly notion of Juliet''s?"
38018Mink Maiden was surprised, but when he spoke, saying,''I am waiting for you to be my bride-- will you come with me?''
38018More trouble?"
38018Mr. Gilroy suggested,"Can you two men spend the day with Mrs. Vernon and the scouts?
38018Now can you blame me for quickly abbreviating it to Tally?"
38018Now, how does that strike every one?"
38018Ruth then said,"I''ve heard a lot about Hot Sulphur Springs, Gilly, but what thrilling sight shall we find there?"
38018Shall I read it to you now?"
38018Shall us go?"
38018Shall we find any wild animals?"
38018Tally glared at Omney,"Why for you do dat?
38018Tally offered no protest, but removed the pipe from his lips and asked,"You like Blackfeet tale?"
38018Tally turned to Omney,"Did him fix harness?"
38018That effectually halted the others, who were so close behind him, and Mr. Vernon leaned over to ask,"What is it, Tally?"
38018That is the easiest part of all, but how will other tourists know that that particular peak is named for_ you_?"
38018The moment the canoes came near enough, the Captain gazed up, and asked,"How can you get down, Julie?"
38018The old man frowned at her fiercely, and mumbled,"Art obstinate?
38018Then she said,"Have you been in the Rockies long?"
38018Then the Captain will feel safer, and her responsibility will be less?"
38018This proved to be the fact, for he gazed searchingly at the girl, and then murmured,"Well?"
38018Vernon?"
38018What are those tiny cowboys doing to the cattle?"
38018What do you say, Captain?"
38018What new calamity was now at hand-- and mother lying there so still and helpless?
38018What say you,--shall we detour to give the scouts an idea of how they do it?"
38018What say you?"
38018What shall we do about it?"
38018What would you do next?"
38018When they met Tally, who was waiting at the place appointed, Julie asked,"Where do we go from here, Gilly?"
38018Why do n''t you fight?"
38018Why should this master want to breakfast with an Indian squaw-- for such he was expecting?
38018Why strike me for his crimes?"
38018With expert Indians to guide the crafts, why do you feel so timid about the trip?"
38018Would we be coming from the interior?"
38018Would you advise me to loan the horses Gilly gave security for, to a party of strangers we never saw in our lives?"
38018_ Was_ there a meadow over there?"
38018where?"
38018where?"
39599''Seest thou this tiny vial?
39599An order,repeated Phil,"what under the canopy is that?
39599And leave school?
39599And that''s what makes you so glad,laughed Lloyd,"to think you''ve discovered the resemblance?
39599And what about my little Hildegarde?
39599And you do not believe that these''arid sands''hold anything for you?
39599Anything more? 39599 Are n''t you coming back this afternoon?"
39599Are n''t you ever coming back?
39599Are n''t you mighty proud, Aunt Emily?
39599But did n''t your father say anything at all? 39599 But what would your ambition be if you were a boy?"
39599Come back and take supper with us, wo n''t you?
39599Could n''t anything tempt you to go?
39599Did Mrs. Lee tell you to bring the basket, Jo?
39599Did the visit do anything for her?
39599Did you evah see moah tempting looking pies in all yoah life? 39599 Did you ever think that it is the soul that has to be educated?
39599Did you tell those kids that they might paint up the premises the way they are doing?
39599Do n''t they look delicious?
39599Do n''t you know that proverb about letting another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth?
39599Do n''t you see it''s getting away?
39599Do n''t you see that it would n''t be the same as buying something to eat up or wear out? 39599 Do n''t you want to come too?"
39599Do you see that? 39599 Do you see those two bright ones just over Camelback Mountain?
39599Do you suppose they''ll have room for me?
39599Do you think you could get your clothes ready in ten days?
39599Do you want any help?
39599Do you want to know honestly?
39599Does n''t it seem queer to think that he''s seen Lloyd and Locust?
39599Gracious, Mary, how did you find out so much?
39599Have n''t you seen what they''ve done to the front of the house? 39599 Have they been gone long?"
39599Have you?
39599Honestly, what would we do, Joyce?
39599How could I have called him selfish?
39599How could they do it? 39599 How long will it take?"
39599How old is this Joyce?
39599I''m just praising my pies, and if they''re good, and I know they''re good, why should n''t I say so? 39599 If you had been Shapur you nevah would have followed that bee to the Rose Garden of Omah, would you?"
39599Indians after you again?
39599Is it very necessary that you should have the wedding- marches?
39599Is n''t it Jack''s name, too?
39599Is n''t it glorious?
39599Is n''t it splendid? 39599 Is that the height of your ambition?"
39599It makes him seem almost like home folks, does n''t it, mamma?
39599It''s fun while we''re doing it, is n''t it, Norman?
39599Joyce,asked Lloyd, as she watched him disappear down the road,"did you uncawk a bottle, or rub Aladdin''s lamp?
39599Joyce,he called, peering down the barrels to see if any speck of rust had gathered in them,"do you suppose we brought any machine- oil with us?
39599Joyce,she said, briskly,"do n''t you suppose we could afford some cookies while the oven is hot?
39599Little girl,he called,"can you tell me if this is the road to Lee''s ranch?"
39599May I have one?
39599May I, mamma? 39599 No,"she answered, slowly,"but it''s a pretty idea, is n''t it?"
39599Not even to reach the City of yoah Desiah?
39599Not even with me?
39599Oh, I have, have I?
39599Oh, Jack, why did n''t you call me?
39599Oh, Joyce,called Holland, from behind the tents,"may we have the paint that is left in the cans?
39599Oh, are n''t you going to stay for dinner?
39599Oh, mamma,whispered Mary,"is Mr. Ellestad really going to climb up in the fig- tree and watch them?
39599Shall I go on unpacking these things? 39599 She sounds interesting, do n''t you think, Elsie?"
39599So that is the trouble, is it?
39599So they think that somebody is like Alaka, do they?
39599That jack- rabbit that passed me down yonder?
39599Then may I ask one more favour at your hands? 39599 We do n''t care, do we, Norman?"
39599What are you doing, Mary?
39599What are you racing with?
39599What did it say?
39599What do you think of her work?
39599What does he think about it now?
39599What have I got that you want?
39599What is it, Mary?
39599What is the use of worrying about how you look?
39599What is your City of Desire?
39599What kind?
39599What shall I do? 39599 What trouble can a child like you have, that is so bad as all that?"
39599What was that?
39599What way?
39599What will you give me?
39599What would you have me to do?
39599What''s that you''re humming?
39599What''s the matter, Mary?
39599What''s the matter, sister?
39599What''s the use of your doing that?
39599When Lloyd comes you''ll have some of those good little corn muffins for breakfast, wo n''t you, Joyce? 39599 When are you going, Papa Jack?
39599Where is he?
39599Whoever perches there will have to descend and help, wo n''t they, Jack?
39599Why did n''t you come out and see Phil''s new horse?
39599Why did you sell the little home if you loved it so?
39599Why do n''t you do it?
39599Why not, dear?
39599Why should you go for him rather than Jack?
39599Why, mamma, do I know him? 39599 Will you_ please_ come to order, Mary Ware?"
39599Wo n''t you ever tell?
39599Would n''t a few bars from any other music do just as well? 39599 Would n''t you like to walk a little while, too?"
39599Yes,chimed in Holland, teasingly,"or the Queen of Sheba?
39599You are n''t sick, are you?
39599You do n''t care, do you?
39599_ Three score and ten!_"Can I get there by candle light?
39599''Is n''t he big for fourteen?
39599An old game that she had played at the Cuckoos''Nest sent a verse floating idly through her memory:"How many miles to Barley- bright?"
39599And heah is a note inside for you, mothah, from Mrs. Ware, and oh, what''s this?
39599And may I copy it sometime?
39599Are there any raisins for the eyes and mouths?"
39599Aunt Emily, please invite me to dinner,"he begged,"and may n''t I stay out here, and watch her make it?"
39599But how could_ he_ take his father''s place behind the plough?
39599But it does look remarkably like a snake, does n''t it, Lloyd?
39599But old Hildgardmar answered her,''Does he measure up to the standard set by the sterling yardstick for a prince to be?''"
39599Ca n''t you get her out on to the rear platform for awhile?
39599Ca n''t you say a good word for me?"
39599Can you remember to say just that?"
39599Confess, now, are n''t you?"
39599Did n''t he care?"
39599Did you ever hear that the bow of the Hindu love- god is supposed to be strung with wild bees?"
39599Did you ever see her picture taken in that character, when she was dressed in that costume for a Valentine party?
39599Do n''t you know that we can only buy things that we absolutely have to eat or to wear?
39599Do n''t you know there''s quicksand there?
39599Do n''t you think I have cause to be proud of my five little Indians, who fixed up this house so beautifully all by themselves?"
39599Do n''t you think we could manage in some way to get it, Joyce?"
39599Do n''t you wish you had it?"
39599Do you want to drown yourself?"
39599Do you?"
39599Does n''t it seem queah?
39599Have you got a letter from anybody?
39599He held up a string of amber beads, as the teacher asked,"Does this belong to any one in this room?"
39599How can I put them on?"
39599How did you ever happen to think of it all?"
39599How did you get yours to?"
39599How_ did_ it happen anyway?"
39599I have n''t asked_ you_ to do without anything, have I, or to put in any of_ your_ money?
39599I wonder where it would lead us if we could follow it?"
39599Is he doing what Mr. Ellestad says all the boys out here do sooner or later, getting mixed up in some of those gambling games?"
39599Is it catching?"
39599Is n''t it grand to think that Mr. Phil is coming to the ranch?
39599Is n''t that smart?
39599Is n''t that splendid?"
39599Is not waiting worth while, if it shall give you wares with which to win a_ royal_ entrance?"
39599It will be a far different affair from your house- party( could there ever be another such heavenly time?
39599Lloyd, what do you think we ought to do?"
39599Part of the strange, unreal night?
39599So many pilgrims sought him to beg his wizard touch that the question,"Where is the house of Omar?"
39599Suddenly they made her think of Betty''s words:"What if Phil should be the one written for you in the stars?"
39599That the greater the man behind the brush, the greater the picture will be?
39599The end was wet, and-- was it_ blood_ that made it so red?
39599Then as a precaution she added,"Is there any one else in the room who has any of these turnip teeth?
39599Was he not wasting his life?
39599Was it somebody in Plainsville?
39599Was n''t it strange the way you happened by at exactly the right moment?
39599Was she too happy?
39599Was this part of the dream?
39599Washington?"
39599What are you racing with?"
39599What do you suppose is the mattah?"
39599What good does it do me now?
39599What if she should lose that and Paul should find it, and hold up the pretty thing in sight of all the school for her to claim?
39599What is it now, please?"
39599What made you move away out to the edge of nowhere?
39599What opportunity was the desert offering him greater than kings''houses could give?
39599What shall we do?
39599What was his name?"
39599Where could you grow stronger than in the faithful doing of your commonplace duties, here at home, where they all need you and lean upon you?
39599Where could you learn such lessons of patience and courage as here on this desert where so many come to die?
39599Where would they sleep?"
39599Why do n''t you study it?"
39599Will you, Joyce?"
39599Wo n''t that be fine?"
39599Would something dreadful have to happen by and by, to make up for all the unclouded happiness of the present?
39599You saved my life, did n''t you?
39599You wo n''t have much chance to forget me, will you?
39599You''d help her, would n''t you, dear?"
39599You''ve known him a long time, have n''t you?"
39599asked Jack,"just to keep to remember my first duck hunt?"
39599said Mary,"and wo n''t you ever laugh at me?"
29571A girl from Morgan''s Gap?
29571And do you try to tell me--she pointed to Sassoon''s unbound hands--"that he is riding out of here, a free man, to go to jail?"
29571And is this,murmured Nan, looking at him quizzically,"really Mr. John Lefever whom I''ve heard so many stories about?"
29571And you report to----?
29571Anything sick, Jim?
29571Are n''t they the kind of people,he persisted,"you need when you are in trouble?"
29571Are n''t you proud of your manly relation, uncle?
29571Are n''t you well to- night?
29571Are you awake, Shike?
29571Arrest me?
29571Arrest_ me_?
29571As bad as that?
29571Bull, is old Duke Morgan a Republican?
29571But how could he have got out without being heard?
29571But put yourself in my place a little, wo n''t you? 29571 But where has he gone?"
29571But you will be in and out of town sometimes, wo n''t you, Nan?
29571But, John,he asked,"could a man hit in the way de Spain was hit, climb into a saddle and make a get- away?"
29571By the way,he added, his glance resting on her right side as he noticed the absence of her holster,"where is your protector to- day?"
29571Ca n''t tell us anything about de Spain, eh?
29571Calabasas?
29571Can you spot the room when you get up- stairs, where we saw that streak of light a minute ago?
29571Can you?
29571Could he do it?
29571De Spain is the manager, is n''t he? 29571 Dick, have you got a Sleepy Cat wire open?"
29571Did Mr. de Spain get off this train?
29571Did you follow me down from the hospital to- night?
29571Did you get it direct from the party who sent it?
29571Did you get the story?
29571Did you meet Henry de Spain there this afternoon?
29571Did you see de Spain at Calabasas this afternoon?
29571Did your pony come along all right after you left the foot- hills this afternoon?
29571Do I look like a man hunting for a fight? 29571 Do n''t you know the man we''re talking about?"
29571Do n''t you think you ought to count all of your friends, your well- wishers, those who would defend you with their lives, among your people?
29571Do you count Gale Morgan as one of your people?
29571Do you deny it?
29571Do you know me?
29571Do you know what it means for me to undertake?
29571Do you know why I came?
29571Do you know,he repeated,"I suspect that Morgan Gap bunch are really behind and beneath a lot of this deviltry around Calabasas?
29571Do you know,she exclaimed with sudden resentment,"you make it awfully hard to be mean to you?"
29571Do you mean to tell me you do n''t know where you are?
29571Do you remember,he asked,"what we were doing a year ago to- day?"
29571Do you suppose I could come up to where you are to- night for a few minutes''talk?
29571Do you think that message means what it says?
29571Do you want to know?
29571Do you want to try taking it?
29571Doctor Torpy? 29571 Does that bind me to get married, when I do n''t want to?"
29571Does this man know you?
29571Duke got rid of his steers yet?
29571Duke, there''s somebody yet around Calabasas that needs hanging, is n''t there? 29571 Duke, you''re old enough to be my father-- do you realize that?
29571Elevate for me, Nan, will you?
29571Expect a railroad superintendent to tell the truth about a Calabasas man?
29571For me to kill you? 29571 Hang it, John,"blurted out de Spain peevishly,"what possessed you to send for_ me_ to do the shooting, anyway?"
29571Has Uncle Duke been talking?
29571Has that slat- eyed, flat- headed, sun- sapped sneak of a Scotchman been complaining of my work? 29571 Have you been to Calabasas and back to- night?"
29571Have you ever been in these rooms before?
29571Have you got over being mad at me?
29571Have you seen him?
29571Have you seen the decorations in Main Street?
29571Help?
29571Henry de Spain?
29571Henry, what is this report about the Calabasas barns burning?
29571Henry,every time she repeated his name de Spain cared less for what should happen in the rest of the world,"what are we going to do now?
29571Henry,he exclaimed impassively,"one question, if you please-- and only one: How in thunder did you do it?"
29571How about picking a couple of good barnmen over in the Gap, Bull?
29571How about the fight to- night at Sleepy Cat?
29571How are you making it, old man?
29571How can I be?
29571How can she live in the Gap,mused de Spain,"with an outfit like that?"
29571How can you know?
29571How could I do that? 29571 How could you even have a look a night like this?"
29571How could you get here at all?
29571How did he happen to catch us on El Capitan?
29571How did you find that out?
29571How did you get here?
29571How did you know I came through the foot- hills?
29571How did you know I was in town to- night?
29571How do you know I wo n''t do it?
29571How do you know?
29571How far is it to that road, Nan?
29571How long have you been here?
29571How?
29571I chased you across the river?
29571I could ride a razorback-- why take all that trouble for me?
29571I do n''t care what you said or what you did----"Answer me,he said sharply,"did I tell you the truth?"
29571I need hardly ask,added de Spain,"whether you fellows have business with me?"
29571I told you once I''m not an assassin-- how dare you ask me to do such a thing?
29571I''ll bet you do n''t know what day this is?
29571If I save your life--still breathing fast, she hesitated for words--"you wo n''t trick me-- ever-- will you?"
29571If you were killed, what would become of me? 29571 In some way I''ve happened, both times I talked with her, to get in wrong-- understand?"
29571Is Henry de Spain here?
29571Is it?
29571Is that a mere frame- up, Philippi?
29571Is there another train to- night he could come on?
29571Is there anything moving on the ridge-- over there-- see-- just east of Sassoon''s ranch- house?
29571Is this Henry de Spain?
29571Is this because they got your money to- day, John?
29571Is this the way you build up business for the house?
29571John,asked de Spain after a pause,"who is that girl that shot against me this afternoon?"
29571Let me come to where you are?
29571Let me take you to where you are going?
29571Let me wait for you-- anywhere?
29571Look here, Elpaso,demanded Lefever, spurring his horse smartly toward the Texan,"are you looking for a fight with me right here and now?"
29571Look here, Nan,he said at length, studiously amiable,"do n''t you think you''re pretty hard on me, lately?"
29571Look here, do you deny you are meeting Henry de Spain all over the desert?
29571Looks pretty rocky, does n''t it?
29571Lord, that Nan Morgan makes me tired,she exclaimed to her gum- chewing companion,"ever see anything like her?
29571Meaning just what, John?
29571Meaning to say you wo n''t obey, eh?
29571Mr. Jeffries''s place is west of the court- house?
29571Nan, what do you mean?
29571No offense, Philippi, but would it be indiscreet to ask which side of your face hurts the most when you smile?
29571No other horse that she could ride, in the barn?
29571Not coming up, eh? 29571 Not even to speak to me?"
29571Nothing going on?
29571Now I want to know whether you''ll marry me if I take you over to Sleepy Cat to- morrow?
29571Now what does this mean?
29571Oh, that''s what''s the matter with you, is it?
29571One question,he said bluntly,"are you armed?"
29571Pity y''left over any chips at all from that Calabasas job, eh?
29571Railroad man, eh?
29571Ready to interview him now?
29571Rubbing it in, eh, John?
29571See him anywhere else?
29571Shall I tell you a secret?
29571Sick?
29571Sleepy?
29571So he''s your lover?
29571Suppose,said Nan one afternoon, looking from de Spain''s side toward the mountains,"some one should be spying on us from Black Cap?"
29571Supposing he might be in town yet, Bob, where is he?
29571That is all there is to it, is n''t it? 29571 That is the way you take care of yourself, is it?"
29571The last''general''manager was killed there, was n''t he?
29571The question is: What''s he to do to get Nan away from there without shooting up the Morgans?
29571The same people I usually meet-- why?
29571Then what did he go down there for?
29571Then where are we?
29571Then why say''Henry''de Spain, as if there were a dozen of him? 29571 There is n''t any other trail, is there?"
29571This,he smiled faintly, nodding toward Sassoon as he himself took a short step farther to the left,"is your drink, Harvey, is it?"
29571Was it Sassoon?
29571Was there ever a thief or a robber driven into Morgan''s Gap that did n''t find sympathy and shelter with some of the Morgans? 29571 Well?"
29571Were these men dead when you brought them up here?
29571What Morgan was in it?
29571What about her?
29571What about it?
29571What are we paying you, Jim?
29571What are you doing here?
29571What are you doing here?
29571What are you doing?
29571What are you going to do?
29571What are you looking at me for?
29571What are you?
29571What did I tell you, John?
29571What did you say,asked de Spain indifferently,"had been the matter with Nan Morgan?"
29571What do I mean?
29571What do they expect I''ll be doing while they are getting me?
29571What do you fellows want now?
29571What do you have to go for?
29571What do you make out of the way he acts?
29571What do you mean by''here''? 29571 What do you mean, Nan?"
29571What do you mean, keep him?
29571What do you mean, what happened?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you think, William?
29571What do you want me to do-- back a horse and shoot two guns at once up and down Main Street, cowboy style?
29571What do you want, Pardaloe?
29571What do you want, uncle?
29571What do you want?
29571What do you want?
29571What do you want?
29571What do you want?
29571What does he say?
29571What does that mean?
29571What fight?
29571What have I got to say?
29571What have you on your feet, Nan?
29571What is he doing here with you?
29571What is it you want to know, uncle? 29571 What is it you want?"
29571What is it?
29571What is it?
29571What is it?
29571What is it?
29571What is she riding away over here to Calabasas for to take the stage, instead of riding straight into Sleepy Cat?
29571What is this man doing in the Gap?
29571What kind of a job y''got?
29571What shall we do?
29571What will you do then?
29571What''s going on in there, Bull?
29571What''s her horse doing here?
29571What''s it doing here?
29571What''s that got to do with it? 29571 What''s that he says?"
29571What''s that, Druel?
29571What''s that?
29571What''s the matter with your curtains?
29571What''s the matter?
29571What''s the name of the man Elpaso put off, John?
29571What''s the reason that fellow sticks so close to Medicine Bend?
29571What''s the row?
29571What''s this stuff on the floor?
29571What''s this?
29571What''s your name?
29571What,she faltered,"will become of me now?"
29571What,she whispered hurriedly to de Spain,"will you do?"
29571When are you coming up to take my job, Henry?
29571When?
29571Where are you talking from now?
29571Where are you, Shike?
29571Where did you get it, Nan?
29571Where did you get that knife?
29571Where did you go this afternoon?
29571Where does it come from?
29571Where from?
29571Where has he gone?
29571Where is Dave Sassoon now?
29571Where is Uncle Duke to- night, do you know?
29571Where is de Spain?
29571Where were they hit?
29571Where were you when this fight was going on?
29571Where you going?
29571Where''s help coming from?
29571Where''s his body?
29571Where--?
29571Whilst I was drinking my coffee----"Who gave it to you?
29571Who are they, Bob?
29571Who are you fellows?
29571Who are you to ask me whom I meet or do n''t meet?
29571Who are you?
29571Who are''they''?
29571Who is nearest and dearest to you at home?
29571Who is she?
29571Who is your friend?
29571Who was this fellow fighting with?
29571Who would n''t? 29571 Who''d you meet there?"
29571Who''s there?
29571Who''s to look after Nan when you go-- as you must, before very many years? 29571 Who, Henry?"
29571Whom is that message from?
29571Why did n''t you keep on liking me?
29571Why do n''t you answer?
29571Why do n''t you get out of the sun?
29571Why do you come here?
29571Why do you think he is dead?
29571Why look so hard at me, then?
29571Why not?
29571Why shame?
29571Why should I? 29571 Why,"asked de Spain, boiling a little,"should that damned, hulking brute try to blow_ my_ head off just now?"
29571Why?
29571Why?
29571Will you come?
29571Would that make very much difference in the way he felt about it?
29571Yes, excitable-- when a girl is in the ring-- why not? 29571 Yesterday morning''s fight?"
29571You a railroad man?
29571You are looking for promotion, are n''t you?
29571You do n''t believe, then, he''s dead, Bob?
29571You do n''t know me?
29571You hire that coyote, Sassoon, to spy for you, do you?
29571You knew Uncle Duke was in town?
29571You know them, Pardaloe?
29571You little vixen,he exclaimed with an oath,"what have you got there?"
29571You want to know what he did go down to the hotel for that afternoon? 29571 You want to know, then, where the Mexican keeps his gun?"
29571You were looking for me, then?
29571You''ve been meeting de Spain right along, have n''t you? 29571 You''ve got a brother-- Joe Pardaloe?"
29571_ He_ never told you that, did he?
29571''Bull,''she says,''I never done you no harm, did I?''
29571''Never,''says I,''and I never done you none, neither, did I?
29571A common squib or a real explosion?
29571A man''s got to be a little bit of a sport once in a while, has n''t he?"
29571After what you did for me, is n''t it natural I should want to be sure you are well and not in any trouble on my account?"
29571All I ask you is this: Is this kind of a cutthroat worth that?
29571All I want of you is to keep yours-- understand?"
29571All came back to one terrifying alternative: Should she help this wretched man herself?
29571And I call it a pretty soft one, too-- don''t you, Sandusky?"
29571And if he lived, would he repay her by shooting some one of her own kin?
29571And now, what about yourself?
29571And this man, to- night-- this cousin-- Gale?
29571And what do you think?
29571And what is this anger all for?
29571And where do you suppose Split- lips is this minute?"
29571And why should n''t we?
29571Are you pretty well, Nan?"
29571Are you so awfully wretched?"
29571Association with outlaws-- what might it not do for even such a girl?
29571But do you really mean that you do n''t want me ever to speak to you again?"
29571But how could I help it?
29571But who was to help him?
29571But you''ll take good care of him and send him home in a few days-- get it?"
29571Can you ride with a hackamore?"
29571Can you see anything?"
29571Can you sleep me here to- night, on the hay?"
29571Could you make it convenient to come down- town somewhere, say to Tenison''s, any time this evening?"
29571Damnation, Duke, could you expect me to do it, willingly?
29571De Spain ignored his question by asking another:"Did you find him?"
29571De Spain''s smile appeared unruffled:"You''ll help him transact it, I suppose?"
29571Did I do it?"
29571Did you have any falls?"
29571Do I look as if I came here by choice?"
29571Do n''t ye see he ca n''t tell ye to stop?"
29571Do you happen to know her?"
29571Do you hear?"
29571Do you hunt?"
29571Do you think_ I''d_ like to pull a trigger on a man that''s been a father to Nan?
29571Do you understand?"
29571Do you want me to pull the trigger?"
29571Do you want the proof?
29571Do you want to leave her to that pack of wolves in the Gap?
29571Does that change the fire in the girl''s eye, the curve of her neck, the slope of her shoulder, John, or the color of her cheek?"
29571Gale felt the hard, cold tone of his crusty relative, and answered with like harshness:"What do you keep harping on that for?
29571Got your pistol with you, Nan?"
29571Have you ever asked yourself that?
29571Have you had supper?"
29571He answered her question with another:"What about trying to get out by El Capitan?"
29571He answered impassively:"Did these men who call me a gunman ever tell you why I''m one?"
29571He ended with a bitter oath and a final taunt:"Is that fair?"
29571He returned to McAlpin:"Where can I get a good cup of coffee when the stage comes in?"
29571He tried again:"Where are you, Shike?"
29571He turned to de Spain:"Now, who the deuce was that?"
29571He''s the only de Spain in these parts, is n''t he?
29571Henry, did that message-- I mean the way it was worded-- sound like Nan Morgan?"
29571How about that girl that lives with Duke?"
29571How could I get in here without being stopped?"
29571How could she know?
29571How could you get here at all with a horse?"
29571How high are we, Nan?"
29571How is your uncle?"
29571How long are you going to keep me away from you?"
29571How many men have been shot on the stages in the last six months?"
29571How''s your back since you went home?"
29571How,"he went on slowly, delirium giving place to indignation,"can you say I''m hiding here to kill other men?
29571I did n''t send any message-- when did you get one?"
29571I know you, de Spain-- I know your breed----""What''s that?"
29571I''ll tell you what, Nan, suppose I scout down that way alone and see what I can find out?"
29571I''ll tell you-- I would n''t want anybody else to know-- will you keep it?"
29571If God meant me to forget it, why did he put this mark on my face, Jeff?
29571If Sassoon or anybody else gets in the way of the stages, I''ll go after them again-- that''s all there is to it, is n''t it?"
29571If it occurs again----""What do you mean?"
29571If she told her uncle, could she keep him from killing de Spain?
29571If you are going to send your cousin and his men here, it''s only fair I should know it now-- isn''t it?"
29571If you lay a little thing like that up against me, where would the rest of the men get off?
29571If you meant what you said, why do n''t you put it out of my power ever to speak to you?
29571If you want to use your own gun, use it on me if I ever insult or abuse her-- is that fair?"
29571Is he the fellow John calls the butcher?"
29571Is there a bridge over to Duke''s on this trail?"
29571Is your team all right?"
29571John, what kind of a fellow is de Spain?"
29571Lefever turned sharply:"What do you mean?"
29571Lefever''s eyes bulged:"Let Sassoon alone?"
29571Makes it bad, does n''t it?"
29571Money?
29571Much sickness in the Gap lately, Bull?"
29571Nan, are you ready?"
29571Nan, do you know, you fit into my arm as if you were made for it?"
29571Nan, what is that man?"
29571No matter how you feel toward me now, you know me well enough to know that all I want is the truth: Was this with your consent?"
29571Nobody home here, Henry?"
29571Now, where do you suppose he got twenty dollars in one bill?
29571Old Duke and Sassoon think the sun rises and sets on the top of his head-- funny, ai n''t it?"
29571Or,"he added, since she made no answer,"like a man hunting for a quiet spot to die in?
29571Promise me that once more, will you?"
29571Scott?"
29571See?"
29571She was hot, but I kept a- winkin''and I says to her kind of husky- like:''Got any letters for Calabasas to- night?''
29571Should he follow them or turn north to follow Page''s wanderings?
29571Should she tell her Uncle Duke of finding de Spain?
29571Some town, that Sleepy Cat, eh, Henry?"
29571Something, at any rate, you could n''t completely kill with whiskey, Bull-- what?"
29571Stay here a good deal, do you?"
29571Suppose we should be condemning poor Uncle Duke without having the real facts?
29571That''s natural, is n''t it?"
29571That''s what your people tell you, is it?"
29571The Calabasas gang is busted for five years-- they would eat out of his hand-- isn''t that so, Bob?"
29571The boy is dead-- why should n''t I tell you?"
29571The color returned to Nan''s cheeks:"Do you want me to use this?"
29571The question is, Can we find a trail up to where we want to go?"
29571Then as she laid her hand on the knob of the door to enter the room:"Can I help any?"
29571Then he laid the first two fingers of his fat right hand on the lapel of his companion''s coat:"Where should you like your body sent?"
29571Then he said, without resentment:"You are ashamed already of saying that, are n''t you?"
29571There was abundance of raillery in Lefever''s retort:"That''s why you are rich, Jeff?"
29571There were two others with this pair-- where are Gale Morgan and Sassoon?"
29571They''re waiting outside to see what you''ll look like in about five minutes-- ain''t they, Gale?"
29571Think she ought to, Nan?"
29571This man interfered with my guard-- in fact, tried to cut his throat, did n''t he?"
29571Was it a trap to get you in here?"
29571Was there anything started when you left?"
29571What I want to know is, do you like your job?"
29571What are you complaining about, Morgan?"
29571What are you doing here?
29571What are you dreaming of, man?
29571What are you trying to find out?"
29571What business of yours is it whom I meet, or where I go?"
29571What can I do?
29571What did it mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you mean?
29571What do you think you can do?"
29571What have you got to defend yourself against him, and against every other drunken man?"
29571What in hell are you all doing?"
29571What is it?"
29571What kind of a fellow is he?"
29571What ought she to do?
29571What should she do?
29571What we want to know is, what you are going to do about it?"
29571What''s come over you?"
29571What''s that?"
29571What''s the good of our shooting each other up?"
29571What''s your name, son?"
29571What''s your name?"
29571What,"demanded his niece with spirit,"do you want to know?
29571What?
29571Where am I?"
29571Where are you going?"
29571Where are you talking from?"
29571Where did you get it, de Spain?"
29571Where do you figure we are?"
29571Where was the belt when you found it?"
29571Where''s your horse?"
29571Whether it is true that I meet Henry de Spain?
29571Who and what is this newcomer-- an accident or a genuine arrival?
29571Who ever telephoned a message like that?
29571Who''s going to be the other witness?"
29571Why did I ever cross your path to make you unhappy when blood lay between your people and mine?
29571Why do n''t you shoot?"
29571Why do you say such things?"
29571Why talk about either?
29571Why?"
29571Will you discharge Elpaso?"
29571Will you do this, Nan?"
29571Will you marry me?"
29571Will you see to it?"
29571With these considerations turning in his mind, he answered the man brusquely:"Who are you?"
29571Within how long?
29571Wo n''t you have a little sense?
29571Would you mind putting out the lights before I come up-- I mean, in the front of the house and in the room where we talk?"
29571You come from Medicine Bend, do n''t you?
29571You coward,"she exclaimed, whirling again with trembling tones on de Spain,"would you kill a woman?"
29571You hear that-- what have you got to say now?"
29571You know you think I''ve no right to live-- that''s what you think, is n''t it?
29571You met him down the Sleepy Cat trail near Black Cap, did n''t you?"
29571You say you''ve had men out across the river?"
29571You want me out of here?"
29571You wo n''t let me see you-- what can I do but look at where you live?
29571You''re boss here; what are we going to do?
29571You''ve got a room right here up- stairs, did n''t you know that?"
29571_ That_, Mr. de Spain,"emphasized Bull, leaning forward,"is what I want to know first-- is it a fair question?"
29571_ What_ shall we do?"
13194''And just do n''t you_ dare_ tell the neighbours?''
13194''How did the Master Mind solve that problem?''
13194''Wan start now?
13194A big furnace, now----"For heaven''s sake, man, what for?
13194About how much chance do you think Mr. Orde has of getting a hearing? 13194 About me killing Plant?"
13194Against which post can I lean my trusty charger?
13194Ai n''t I got my rights, same as another man?
13194Ai n''t there no decisions the other way?
13194Ai n''t you got any of those suckers that_ like_ to ride? 13194 Ai n''t you- all goin''over to- night?"
13194All big mountains?
13194All done?
13194All right, Field Marshal-- or is it''General''?
13194All right?
13194Alone?
13194Am I forgiven for doing my plain duty?
13194Am I to consider myself under investigation?
13194Am I?
13194And Welton gave it to him?
13194And all about papa in the''sixties?
13194And all the work we''ve done there is useless?
13194And call Welton in for corroboration?
13194And how does the enterprise stand now?
13194And if he agrees?
13194And what about those nine years?
13194And you testify?
13194And you''re going to do it?
13194Any letters?
13194Any objections to my doing so?
13194Any of my boys in there?
13194Anybody here to- day?
13194Anything else?
13194Are n''t there any more recent claims?
13194Are n''t you feeling well?
13194Are n''t you going to do anything in the meantime?
13194Are n''t you going to turn in too, Charley?
13194Are there any higher mountains than those?
13194Are there many such cases up in the Durham country?
13194Are you in charge of this drive?
13194Are you on the payrolls of this company?
13194Are you with the Wolverine Company?
13194As how?
13194As how?
13194As what; gun man?
13194As what?
13194Back to the farm now, eh?
13194Baker,repeated Welton;"what has he got to do with it?"
13194Baldy?
13194Better, I hope?
13194Billy does n''t carry that with the other supplies, does he?
13194But are you sure you can handle this?
13194But how about ordinary mortals? 13194 But how can they dodge it?"
13194But if it was decided once, how can they bring it up again?
13194But if you are called?
13194But not to any one else?
13194But what does Shelby do it for, then?
13194But what is he now that he is here?
13194But why this haste?
13194But you can educate people, ca n''t you?
13194But you will testify?
13194But you wo n''t testify agin me?
13194But, Dick, what are all these deadheads I see in the river? 13194 But,"said Welton, carefully,"do n''t you see that you took chances on losing me a lot of property?"
13194By the way, Bobby, how old are you now?
13194Ca n''t anything be done?
13194Ca n''t you do that yourself, and send over your men?
13194Ca n''t you eat your share?
13194Ca n''t you handle them? 13194 Ca n''t you pay it?"
13194Ca n''t you unhitch your horses and pack them?
13194Camping, boys?
13194Can I speak to you a moment on business?
13194Can not the title be upset if fraud is clearly proved?
13194Can they be bought?
13194Can we do anything to help ourselves out before morning?
13194Can you do that?
13194Can you run a typewriter?
13194Can you run those sheep in, at night, or somehow?
13194Chinless, eh? 13194 Chromos much better?
13194Come up to see the tall buildings?
13194Copied those camp reports?
13194Could it be done by wire?
13194Could n''t anything be done to stop them?
13194Could n''t be considered official?
13194Could n''t they scare up any more? 13194 Could n''t you prove it on him?"
13194Delighted to see me, are n''t you?
13194Dependin''on this sort of thing to get along?
13194Did I what?
13194Did he have a hat on?
13194Did n''t I see by the papers that you went back to coach last fall?
13194Did n''t Plant say he was going to look into the matter for next year?
13194Did n''t find out from him, for all his talk, did you?
13194Did n''t you know I was here?
13194Did n''t you say you were the clerk?
13194Did she- all refuse you coffee onct?
13194Did they?
13194Did you come to see Mr. Thorne on business?
13194Did you ever read the Homestead Law?
13194Did you get the G.B.?
13194Did you give him three sheep this year?
13194Did you say on drive?
13194Did you say those words to him?--''I''m going to give you the very worst licking you ever heard tell of''?
13194Did you verify this?
13194Did you whistle?
13194Did you?
13194Did you_ mean_ to place that charge, bub?
13194Dis ees Meestair Welton?
13194Do I get each shot called?
13194Do I understand your ranger reports are remiss?
13194Do n''t it?
13194Do n''t know, do you?
13194Do n''t like the notion, eh?
13194Do n''t like to take his na''ty medicine?
13194Do n''t you see what I''m up against?
13194Do n''t you suppose I know it?
13194Do n''t you suppose I see the joke?
13194Do they so?
13194Do this regular?
13194Do you believe him?
13194Do you believe they''d shoot?
13194Do you consider yourself one of the same sort of dicky bird as Plant and that crew?
13194Do you expect me to have Mr. Welton arrested on this charge?
13194Do you know?
13194Do you like sticks in your food?
13194Do you mean to say that any man was going to take this beautiful timber away from us on that kind of a technicality?
13194Do you mean to say that they''ll have the nerve to pass over such direct evidence as that?
13194Do you mean to tell me that that old, fat_ skunk_ had the nerve to tell you he was going to send a ranger to look at our permit?
13194Do you mean to tell me that the North End is so far behind the South End in common hospitality? 13194 Do you mean to tell me,"he cried at last,"that a man has n''t got a right to get into his own land?
13194Do you mean to tell me,he demanded of Harvey,"that_ seventeen_ only ran ten thousand?
13194Do you really think so?
13194Do you remember one evening when Baker was up at camp and was kicking on paying water tolls? 13194 Do you think I ought to leave the Service?"
13194Do you think it will wear down my fragile strength?
13194Do you understand a tally board?
13194Do you want to drown him? 13194 Do?"
13194Does anybody live over there?
13194Does it?
13194Does n''t it remind you of anything?
13194Does n''t the Service allow him a clerk?
13194Does n''t the lumber ever jump the flume?
13194Does that damn operator leak?
13194Does the business keep you occupied?
13194Does your side partner resemble a raisin raiser? 13194 Drove far?"
13194Drunk, eh?
13194Erbe? 13194 Even if the mineral is a fake?"
13194Ever been there before?
13194Everybody''s a good sort to- day, are n''t they, son?
13194Everything going all right?
13194Farm?
13194Father,said Bob,"why did you stop me from contradicting Baker the other day when he jumped to the conclusion that I was going to quit the Service?"
13194Fight what? 13194 Finished?"
13194Give any reason?
13194Give him that licking?
13194Give it up, Brudder Bones,said Tally, dryly,"what was it?"
13194Going to the mill?
13194Gold and silver?
13194Got in just before daylight, then?
13194Got to pack all that stuff without''em?
13194H''m,said he sarcastically,"do you think you have done so?"
13194Has n''t a stream been declared navigable when logs can be driven in it?
13194Have n''t forgotten how to ride a log, I reckon?
13194Have n''t stolen the stove, have you?
13194Have you anything to do with this question?
13194Have you been to all these places?
13194Have you heard the latest dope?
13194Have you read the findings of the commission?
13194Have you told your officers of your own evidence against Baker?
13194He did, did he?
13194He is n''t the_ Lucky Lands_ Oldham, is he?
13194Him? 13194 How about old Murdock''s dam?
13194How about our beds?
13194How about sheep?
13194How about that stream?
13194How about the horse and buggy?
13194How about these lumber contracts?
13194How about your economic waste, Merker?
13194How are the legions of darkness and ignorance standing the cannonading these days? 13194 How are the sheep coming on?
13194How are things going up your way?
13194How are you?
13194How big a country is that?
13194How can you get word from Mr. Oldham when to let me off?
13194How could I take a Government employee to work on my property?
13194How did he take it?
13194How did it happen?
13194How did they do it?
13194How did you get up here before we built that road?
13194How did you leave things at the lower end?
13194How do you expect me to do that, with my hands tied behind me?
13194How do you like it as far as you''ve gone?
13194How do you like it?
13194How do you like your friend?
13194How does he do it?
13194How does it happen this was n''t taken up long ago?
13194How does she seem?
13194How far is it?
13194How far is it?
13194How high are we here?
13194How in blazes do you handle them?
13194How is that? 13194 How long ago was that?"
13194How long ago?
13194How long do I stay?
13194How long do you think it ought to take to cut the rest of Eight?
13194How long do you think it takes me to make camp and cook a simple little breakfast?
13194How long do you think it would take you with a crew of a dozen men to cut and pile the waste stuff in 18?
13194How long has this sort of thing gone on?
13194How long have you known about it?
13194How long will this take?
13194How long would it take you?
13194How long would that take?
13194How many know you are back here?
13194How many rangers do you get?
13194How many times must I tell you to smoke up and be agreeable? 13194 How much do you suppose it would require to be sure we do n''t run short?"
13194How much longer will the high water last?
13194How much would it take?
13194How much?
13194How should I know?
13194How soon must your deliveries begin?
13194How was that?
13194How we going to get through?
13194How would a fool trick like that show whether my gun''s in shape?
13194How yank it?
13194How you expect to be a ranger, if you ca n''t ride?
13194How''d you come out?
13194How''d you explain when the stream stopped?
13194How''d you handle this kind of a proposition?
13194How''d you like it there?
13194How''ll you trade jobs?
13194How''re things going?
13194How''s Mrs. Orde and the little boy?
13194How''s that?
13194How''s that?
13194How''s that?
13194How''s the Colony flourishing, Sunny?
13194How''s the baby?
13194How''s the feed?
13194How''s the timber?
13194How''s the work coming on?
13194How?
13194How?
13194How?
13194How?
13194Hullo, Baker,said Bob;"what are you doing''way off here?"
13194Hullo, Johnny,replied Fox,"how are things?
13194Hullo, Welton,said he as he brought the team to a stand;"when did you get out of the hills?"
13194Hullo,said he;"show over?"
13194I assume you''ll go?
13194I could n''t get to talk with you no other way, could I?
13194I heerd of you... what might you be doing up here?
13194I insist on knowing; and what was that abalone shell remark?
13194I know it, Jack,confessed Welton;"but what can I do?
13194I mean, is that a real mocking bird?
13194I mean, what do they pretend to believe? 13194 I reckon I''ve earned a drink out of this,"he stated;"any objections?"
13194I suppose Darrell''s at the rear?
13194I suppose this is the top of our ridge, is n''t it?
13194I suppose you know the real difficulty?
13194I suppose you''ve thought of the chance you''re giving up? 13194 I thought you said Welton would testify?"
13194I would hardly be acting without them, would I?
13194If I send you back to- morrow, would you like to tackle it again?
13194If he has no right there, why not put him off?
13194If he turned state''s evidence before that man Baker did, would n''t it work that way around?
13194If it''s so important a watershed, what do they_ want_ it plotted for? 13194 If the company was n''t scared, why did they try so hard to head us off?"
13194If you wanted to speak to me, why did n''t you say so?
13194In other words, you have received orders to proceed?
13194In what way?
13194Is Bill good for anything beside gun work?
13194Is Mr. Thorne here?
13194Is Orde back at headquarters yet?
13194Is he coming?
13194Is it Hubert?
13194Is it too much exercise for me?
13194Is it?
13194Is n''t it likely that those men have got behind Samuels in order to discourage action on their own cases?
13194Is n''t it?
13194Is n''t the place what it''s cracked up to be?
13194Is n''t this likely to hit us?
13194Is n''t this the candy make- up for the simple life-- surveyor, hardy prospector, mountain climber, sturdy pedestrian? 13194 Is that an official report?"
13194Is that the limit?
13194Is that what you call the good society here?
13194Is that you? 13194 Is there a jam in the river?"
13194Is there any real mineral there?
13194Is there anything funny?
13194It ai n''t in your bunk by mistake?
13194It''s been-- let''s see-- fifteen years, has n''t it? 13194 It''s the public domain, is n''t it?
13194Jack,he called, as that young man led the way off the edge,"can you see where Jack Main''s Cañon is from here?"
13194Jim Hutchins,mused California John;"where is he now?
13194John,asked Bob,"were you ever in those big mountains there?"
13194Just down for the day?
13194Just in?
13194Know if Darrell is in town?
13194Law? 13194 Law?"
13194Lawyer? 13194 Like it?"
13194Like what?
13194Look here, Bob,said he,"this is n''t quite fair, is it?
13194Look here, Selwyn,he broke out,"do you like this bunco game?"
13194Look here,he demanded of the Carrolls,"why all this interest about our being in the Basin?
13194Look here,said he,"why_ do n''t_ you come and look at the tall buildings?
13194Many partridge?
13194Maybe you think shooting at me is one of my little niece''s favourite summer- day stunts?
13194Meaning I''m not welcome here?
13194Mighty good little joint for the mountains, ai n''t it?
13194Millions for defence,chuckled Welton, who recognized perfectly the tone,"and how much did you say for tribute?"
13194Morton brought mail this morning, did n''t he?
13194Mr. Orde is familiar with the whole situation?
13194Mrs. Hallowell,he said persuasively,"just let me rummage around for five minutes, will you?"
13194Near Granite,replied Bob;--"why, how the devil did you know we were out for timber?"
13194No abalone shells for yours, eh?
13194No? 13194 No?
13194No?
13194No?
13194No?
13194Not even to Jim?
13194Not more than five hundred?
13194Not much gasoline- torch- on- the- back- lot in his, is there?
13194Not out on duty, eh?
13194Not to- night?
13194Nothing wrong with the Hero, nor any of the Assistant Heroes?
13194Now did you ever see such utter damn foolishness?
13194Now if you were a homeseeker would n''t you love to bring your dinner pail back to the cawstle every night?
13194Now what are you driving at?
13194Now what do you make of that?
13194Now you got it; what you think?
13194Now, Bob, you remember how we was up against it, do n''t you? 13194 Now, honest, do n''t you think so?
13194Now, how the deuce should anybody know about me, or that I am with Welton, or take the trouble to write about it?
13194Of course it would be a nuisance; but could n''t you get them next year?
13194Oh, are you hurt? 13194 Oh, he did that, did he?
13194Oh, he''s a good trailer, is he?
13194Oh, they happened to, did they? 13194 Oh, what is it?"
13194Oh, you played football, did you? 13194 Old Simeon, hey?"
13194Oldham?
13194Oldham?
13194On Pronto?
13194On business?--or just buying abalone shells?
13194Or about these?
13194Or is it merely the stove? 13194 Orde,"he repeated harshly;"where from?"
13194Over where?
13194Perhaps we are at fatal variance on our economics,said he;"but how about the justice of the thing?
13194Permit to what?
13194Plant in?
13194Play all four years?
13194Pretty bad, eh? 13194 Pretty heavy for a''half,''ai n''t you?"
13194Pretty rotten, eh?
13194Private, of course?
13194Saleratus Bill?
13194Same chicken,replied Baker; then, as Bob laughed,"Think he''s phoney?
13194Say, Sunny,broke in Baker,"how many you got rounded up now?"
13194Say, Welton,demanded the liveryman with the easy familiarity of his class,"why in blazes do you put a plain drunk like that in charge?"
13194Say, do Populists grow whiskers, or do whiskers make Populists?
13194Say, honest, how do you fellows that have business up here stick it out? 13194 Say, would n''t you like to see Roaring Dick trying to handle one of those logs with a peavie?
13194Say,drawled the riverman,"air you as much trouble to yourself_ every_ day as this?"
13194Scrap?
13194See that rock dike just up the hill behind you?
13194See that''dead- and- down''ahead? 13194 Seriously or figuratively?"
13194Shall I make it out to Plant?
13194Shares now worth par?
13194Since when?
13194Since when?
13194Snowclad peaks not up to specifications?
13194So you''ve been getting into trouble, have you?
13194So?
13194Son of old John who used to be on the Marquette back in the seventies?
13194Spend all your salary this month?
13194Still like to tackle the river?
13194Stopping in California long?
13194Suppose a real toothache comes up?
13194Suppose for some reason we should n''t get back here to- morrow? 13194 Suppose the boat should do it?"
13194Suppose they get into trouble?
13194Sure pop?
13194Sure?
13194Surely,replied the old man looking at him with surprise;"just found that out?"
13194That all?
13194That all?
13194That may be,retorted Samuels,"but ai n''t I got as much right to the timber, I who have been in the country since''55, as the next man?"
13194That mean I ca n''t get to my own property?
13194That so? 13194 That stuff?
13194That will be all, then?
13194That''s just it,said Martin;"where, oh, where?"
13194The drive? 13194 The same open markets can still supply the necessary timber?"
13194The what?
13194Then he denies?
13194Then the titles are all right?
13194Then this is n''t much of a pleasure trip?
13194Then what are you doing in charge of this river?
13194Then you are the Modoc Mining Company?
13194Then you do n''t fight the suit?
13194Then you drop this prosecution against Welton?
13194Then you''d let them go on wasting and destroying?
13194There had been trouble up there between Plant-- you remember I wrote you of the cattle difficulties?
13194There''s the Harris case, and the others,suggested Amy;"what are you going to do about them, now?"
13194There; what did I tell you? 13194 These Jim Hutchins''s sheep?"
13194Things going well?
13194Things looked pretty dark, did n''t they? 13194 Think so?
13194Think so?
13194This confounded so- called''investigation''of yours? 13194 This is n''t quite up to the romantic idea of rangering, is it?"
13194This place belong to you or the Government?
13194Those witnesses will testify?
13194Unlimited Life,echoed Bob,"what''s that?
13194Up buying, I suppose-- or maybe selling?
13194Use?
13194W''at you do?
13194Want to take in Marion, bub?
13194Was he there? 13194 Was n''t it?"
13194Was that the reason he did n''t send over all his men to the fire?
13194Was that what you told him?
13194We wo n''t neither of us be near as much trouble to ourselves to- morrow, will we?
13194We''ve got it all to do over again from the beginning?
13194Well, Gentle Stranger,sang out the power man,"what jungle have you been lurking in?
13194Well, Orde, you confounded old scallywattamus,remarked the man on the duffle- bag, without moving,"is this your notion of meeting a train?"
13194Well, bub,said the old riverman good- naturedly,"so you thought you''d like to be a riverman?"
13194Well, bub,said this man,"enjoying the scenery?"
13194Well, can you head them off?
13194Well, do n''t you know enough about it all to testify? 13194 Well, how is it?"
13194Well, if they''re weak from loss of feed, is n''t that natural?
13194Well, is n''t it?
13194Well, it''s for his benefit, if he gets paid for it, ai n''t it?
13194Well, my son, that''s your first shy at the government official, is n''t it? 13194 Well, old stick- in- the- mud,"said Orde as, at the end of two days, the men thawed out in a smoking car,"ducks enough for you?"
13194Well, they''ve done it, whether they have the right to or not,he said shortly;"what next?"
13194Well, what claim do you think the Government has?
13194Well, what do you think of our fair young city?
13194Well, what does Plant amount to once he''s exposed?
13194Well, what is it you want me to do, anyway?
13194Well, what is your advice?
13194Well, what you going to do about it?
13194Well, why do n''t you all get together and reduce your stock?
13194Well, why timber?
13194Well, will you tell me how in blazes you were going to get together a piece of timber big enough to handle in any other way?
13194Well, will you tell me what''s wrong with them?
13194Well, you did get in a hole there, did n''t you? 13194 Well,"drawled Charley Morton''s voice behind him,"what you think you''re doing?"
13194Well,he asked deliberately,"who_ is_ the public, anyhow?"
13194Well?
13194Well?
13194Well?
13194Well?
13194Well?
13194Well?
13194Well?
13194Well?
13194Whar yo''all from?
13194What about the fellows who had''em before?
13194What are these?
13194What are those fellows after?
13194What are you doing?
13194What are you going to do about it?
13194What are you going to do then?
13194What are your plans now?
13194What break?
13194What can I do for you?
13194What can I do for you?
13194What can I do?
13194What devilment you up to now, Sal?
13194What did you decide?
13194What did you do at college?
13194What did you do it for?
13194What did you do to him?
13194What do they do?
13194What do you do, then, when a man gets the cold drop on you?
13194What do you have to know?
13194What do you know about river- driving?
13194What do you know about the way it acquired its timber?
13194What do you know of a personal grudge?
13194What do you mean by that?
13194What do you mean by that?
13194What do you mean by''pull the string''?
13194What do you mean? 13194 What do you mean?"
13194What do you mean?
13194What do you mean?
13194What do you mean?
13194What do you take me for?
13194What do you think is the latest,asked California John one day,"from them little squirts?
13194What do you think of it?
13194What do you think of it?
13194What do you want us to do?
13194What do you want?
13194What does he do that for?
13194What else is there?
13194What else?
13194What for?
13194What for?
13194What for?
13194What for?
13194What for?
13194What for?
13194What good is there in hanging onto a lot of land that would be better developed?
13194What good would a homestead right do me these days?
13194What has that got to do with it?
13194What have I ever done to Oldham?
13194What help do I get?
13194What if the fire gets over to you?
13194What in hell do you want?
13194What is Mr. Thorne''s salary?
13194What is it?
13194What is it?
13194What is it?
13194What is it?
13194What is it?
13194What is there in it?
13194What makes you think I''m a football man?
13194What makes you think so?
13194What makes you think that?
13194What next?
13194What notes?
13194What of it? 13194 What of it?"
13194What of it?
13194What other way is there to go by?
13194What place do you call this?
13194What say?
13194What sort of a hold- up is this? 13194 What sort?"
13194What the hell more confidence does this country need now?
13194What they been making you do to- day, son?
13194What trouble? 13194 What was it, Amy?"
13194What was that?
13194What would Darrell do that you ca n''t do?
13194What would become of morals and honour and law and all the rest of it, if that sort of thing obtained?
13194What would it be?
13194What would you do here?
13194What would you do if a man got your hands up?
13194What yo''palaverin''about?
13194What you going to do?
13194What you got up your sleeve?
13194What you got, Amy?
13194What you so stuck on getting wet for?
13194What you want we should take?
13194What''s a few smashed logs compared to hanging the drive?
13194What''s all this about seeing a permit to cross those government sections? 13194 What''s all your interest in this, anyway?"
13194What''s biting you fellows?
13194What''s going on?
13194What''s he say is his business?
13194What''s his cult, anyway?
13194What''s that to you?
13194What''s that?
13194What''s that?
13194What''s the answer?
13194What''s the matter with it?
13194What''s the matter with you, anyhow?
13194What''s the matter, Ross?
13194What''s the matter?
13194What''s the matter?
13194What''s the other?
13194What''s the penalty?
13194What''s the trouble then?
13194What''s the use of all our fights and strivings?
13194What''s the use? 13194 What''s this for?"
13194What''s this next station?
13194What''s to keep a spark or a coal from that old coon from falling or rolling on the wrong side of the line? 13194 What''s up, Bobby?"
13194What''s up?
13194What''s up?
13194What''s your salary?
13194What''s yours?
13194What, that flapdoodle?

13194When did the rear leave Murdock''s?
13194When must you go?
13194When you going to start fluming''em down?
13194Where are most of the claims?
13194Where are you camped?
13194Where are you going?
13194Where are you thinking of going?
13194Where did you get by me? 13194 Where did you get them?"
13194Where did you learn stenography?
13194Where did you play?
13194Where did you think you learned to ride a log?

13194Which one is it, Painful?
13194Whither away?
13194Who are they?
13194Who are they?
13194Who bossed you?
13194Who dares say I done wrong?
13194Who do you think we''d better get for woods foreman just_ in case_ Baker should n''t take the job?
13194Who gave it?
13194Who was it?
13194Who''s boss?
13194Who''s going to have charge of the office?
13194Who''s in charge here?

13194Who''s the public? 13194 Who''s to decide?
13194Who; Jack?
13194Who?
13194Why all the bluff, then?
13194Why are n''t you attending to your job?
13194Why did n''t he tell the truth-- expose Plant? 13194 Why did you come?"
13194Why did you ever take such a man on in the first place?
13194Why did you want me to finish for you then?
13194Why do n''t some of you fellows go out there and storm the fort, if you feel that way?
13194Why do n''t you fire that kid ashore?
13194Why do n''t you go East?
13194Why do n''t you have the men stretch you a canvas?
13194Why do n''t you log with some reference to the future, then?
13194Why do n''t you send over enough men to give it a fight?
13194Why do n''t you take a little trip with me up to the Cedar Branch?
13194Why do you say that?
13194Why do you suppose Oldham is up there with this Saleratus Bill?
13194Why do you tell me, then?
13194Why do you think Miss Thorne must know of this?
13194Why does n''t Mr. Welton protect himself?
13194Why especially to- morrow?
13194Why have n''t you died off too, Jim?
13194Why have n''t you kept your man in charge?
13194Why have you a United States Forest Ranger working on the fences then?
13194Why have you never said anything before?
13194Why in blazes did n''t you come up in the morning?
13194Why keep awake?
13194Why not cut across?
13194Why not? 13194 Why should I do that?"
13194Why should I?
13194Why should n''t you pay?
13194Why the secrecy?
13194Why the secrecy?
13194Why wo n''t he make a good riverman?
13194Why work while papa has his health? 13194 Why would n''t it be better to take him out to California now?"
13194Why, if everybody had all that mess, how do you suppose it would be carried?
13194Why, it sort of puts you in a hole, does n''t it? 13194 Why, what becomes of the winter feed?"
13194Why, what do you mean?
13194Why, when he see Oldham dropped, what use was there of going to shooting? 13194 Why, you do n''t even know me, do you?
13194Why, you eternal old fool, how should I know you?
13194Why,said Selwyn, looking straight ahead,"did n''t you hear Mr. Oldham?
13194Why,spoke up California John in an aggrieved and surprised tone,"ai n''t there nobody going to eat popcorn but me?"
13194Why? 13194 Why?"
13194Why?
13194Why?
13194Why?
13194Why?
13194Why?
13194Why?
13194Will that start her sure?
13194Will these lots ever be sold?
13194Will you kindly explain to me why I should make a chance to talk to you; and why I''ve been dragged out here in the dead of night?
13194Win all your games?
13194With Simeon Wright? 13194 With that?"
13194Would Wright bribe him, do you suppose?
13194Would n''t think much of the scheme of trying Baker as woods foreman up in our timber, then?
13194Would n''t you?
13194Would you like to go to Lucky to- morrow?
13194Yes, Baby Blue- eyes, did n''t you tumble to that? 13194 Yes, I see we are,"replied Bob, looking suspiciously about him,"but what does all this mean?"
13194Yes; ever hear of it?
13194You ai n''t heard who''s going to be sent out for Supervisor?
13194You are a little off your own beat, are n''t you?
13194You are going to manufacture your timber?
13194You are interested in Lucky Lands-- Mr. John Smith, of Reno?
13194You are n''t going over those mountains to- night, are you?
13194You are n''t going to leave them there?
13194You are n''t in the company''s employ?
13194You are out here on father''s account?
13194You been out there long?
13194You did n''t get these with coupons?
13194You did n''t get up to eat with the men?
13194You did n''t quote me in the matter, did you?
13194You do n''t believe that deer hunting lie, do you?
13194You do n''t mean to tell me they put you at that?
13194You do n''t think I own a telephone line without knowing what little birdies light on the wires, do you?
13194You get your value, do n''t you? 13194 You going?"
13194You have n''t got a better job, have you?
13194You have n''t got some nice scrappy little job, have you?
13194You in charge of the sheep?
13194You mean to say that''s done?
13194You mean----?
13194You must have been everywhere?
13194You own some timber?
13194You own the Wolverine property, do you?
13194You remember when we first came in here how Plant closed the road and the flume right- of- way on us because we did n''t have the permit?
13194You see through me very easily, do n''t you? 13194 You seem to do the gardening, the cooking, the housework, the clerical work-- you do n''t do the laundry, too, do you?"
13194You that hungry?
13194You travelled up at night then?
13194You want something of me?
13194You''ll swear to that?
13194You''re Bob Orde, are n''t you?
13194You''re going to deliver over your friend to prison?
13194You''re in the Service again?
13194You''re the Orde interested in Granite County timber, are n''t you?
13194You''ve been drunk four days,said he,"have you the price?"
13194Young man,said Welton,"are you on the payrolls of this company?"
13194Your little scheme did n''t work, did it? 13194 ''Spose you see that Wright''s cattle is coming in again? 13194 ''Yes, madam,''said he;''what kind?'' 13194 A little different driving this white water than pushing logs with a pike pole down a slack- water river like the Green, hey?
13194A little money was there, a little knowledge, a little experience-- but what toward the final satisfaction, the justification of a man''s life?
13194A medicine?"
13194Ai n''t I got a right to it, same as everybody else?"
13194Ai n''t I the real young cover design for the Out- of- door number?"
13194Ai n''t mine up to the others?"
13194And about this partnership?"
13194And if I ai n''t got cattle to sell, where do I get money to live on?
13194And if one of those two fail, how''s the other to scratch along?"
13194And once or twice, seriously,"Bob, have n''t you had enough of this confounded nonsense?
13194And the money-- how''ll we fix it?"
13194And what can a backwoods farm produce worth money?
13194And what would you advise by way of retrenchment?"
13194And where can it find a market?
13194Any remarks?"
13194Are there any more of these altruists?
13194Are you a newspaperman?"
13194Are you going to refuse?"
13194Are you going to stay and help me?"
13194Are you hurt?"
13194Are you sure of that?
13194Assuming that you cared to do so, is there no way you could avoid this necessity?"
13194Been exploring?"
13194Been transferred from the office?"
13194Besides, what''s the use?
13194Bless your soul, what evidence do you suppose I could get from you in a case like this?
13194But I reckon you wo n''t be giving me away anyhow?"
13194But ca n''t you get some scheme that would be just as effective, but not so neat?
13194But how did you know I am with Welton?"
13194But how much agricultural wealth do you suppose these people_ export_ each year?
13194But in that case, what more natural than that he should mention the matter privately to Bob?
13194But should the mere fact of personality make any difference in the enforcing of laws?
13194But what better chance does he want, unless he aims to get Bob here, with a club?"
13194But what of the doubtful cases?
13194But what''s the point?
13194But what''s the use of cutting out lots of bully good people on that account?"
13194But where had vanished all Bob''s exaltation?
13194But who did?
13194But why not a tourist?"
13194But you agree with me, do n''t you, that you could n''t hold down the job?"
13194By the way,"mentioned Baker,"just as a matter of ordinary curiosity,_ did_ Oldham have anything on you, or was he just a strong- arm artist?"
13194Ca n''t you hire some men, then?"
13194Ca n''t you see it?
13194Can Bob be blamed that in this baffling and unsuspected incapacity he found a great humility of spirit?
13194Can I have Merker get you anything?"
13194Can I rely on him?
13194Can he lick his dad?"
13194Could this be the heart and centre of those vast and far- reaching activities he had heard so much about?
13194Counting the easy money?"
13194Did n''t I tell you?"
13194Did n''t he never give you none of them?"
13194Did n''t you get your father''s letter telling of my coming?"
13194Did n''t you see him?"
13194Did you get all the weeds out?"
13194Did you get along with him all right?"
13194Did you hear the nerve of him?
13194Do n''t suppose you ever went on a drive with your dad when you were a kid?"
13194Do n''t you know that burnin''witches is murder?''"
13194Do n''t you remember this man, Bobby?"
13194Do n''t you see how I am going to hurt them when I refuse under such circumstances?"
13194Do n''t you think old John would look sweet in that?"
13194Do you favour general confiscation?"
13194Do you give up?
13194Do you guess we- all can track up with any sheep?"
13194Do you suppose he''s trying to warn us out or scare us off?"
13194Do you think if I had a friend who was near and dear to me I''d sacrifice him for all the trees in the mountains?
13194Does he mean what he says?"
13194Feel better?
13194Football men do n''t have to study, do they?"
13194Fox?"
13194Funny paper any new jokes?"
13194Getting short- winded?"
13194Had not these men broken the law, and is not the upholding of the law important in its moral effect on those that follow?
13194Hard sledding, is n''t it Billy?"
13194Harding?"
13194Has he the ear marks of a gentle agriculturist?
13194Has that faith deserted you?"
13194Have any trouble?"
13194Have you any private means?"
13194Have you any?"
13194Have you decided for or against?"
13194Have you ever stopped to think why they have so long been loyal?
13194Have you ever talked with anybody about-- about that morning?"
13194He does n''t look it, do you think?"
13194He turned briskly to the mulatto:"Sunny, on the dead, where does the graft come in?"
13194He turned to Welton:"How much more of a delay can you stand without closing down?"
13194He''s so cold now he do n''t know where''s his feet?"
13194Headed for the Sunshine and Flowers?"
13194Here, Selwyn,"he called to one of the salesman,"this is Mr.--what did you say your name is?"
13194How about Welton?
13194How about it?"
13194How are you, Orde?
13194How big is that young tree over there?"
13194How can you''shoot out or bluff out''?"
13194How could he dare criticize the ultimate value of such successes without criticizing the life work of such men as Welton, as his own father?
13194How could they know?"
13194How did you come out?"
13194How did you happen to make this break, anyway?"
13194How did you work it?"
13194How do you know about it?"
13194How does a man really use his powers?
13194How long have you been living around in range of that Thorne girl, anyway?
13194How long you been here?"
13194How much of an inducement does Plant want, anyway?"
13194How you feeling?
13194How''d you like to chase a cow full speed over this country, hey?"
13194How''re those canteens-- full?
13194How''s Minnesota?"
13194How?"
13194I do n''t suppose you heard anything outside about it?"
13194I hope you understand that?"
13194I never thought----""What do you suppose we would examine candidates for Forest Ranger in-- higher mathematics?"
13194I paid you for it, did n''t I?
13194I suppose he fired Darrell, too?"
13194I suppose our friend Plant has been pinched?"
13194I suppose you know we''ve got timber in California?"
13194I suppose, of course, your firm has permits from Washington to build said improvements?"
13194I was told you had threatened to become a blackmailer, and I wanted to find out if it is true?"
13194I wonder if those fellows ever saw a mountain?
13194I wonder where it all went to?"
13194If they were so strong for Samuels then, why not now?
13194If you fellows bust, how do you think I could raise money to do business up here at all?
13194If, on the other hand, he had any desire to further the ends of the law, what should prevent him from speaking out publicly?
13194In other words, do you intend to get after me?"
13194In that case, where had the elder man been, and what was he about during that fatal hour that Sunday morning?
13194In what did it lie?
13194Is he warned?
13194Is it hard driving?
13194Is n''t that just about the way they hand it out to us here?
13194Is n''t that, is it?"
13194Is n''t there some law against interfering with navigation?"
13194Is that clear?"
13194Is that right?"
13194Is that what ailed you, Bobby?
13194It do n''t_ really_ mean much to you, now does it, Link?
13194It explained; but did it excuse, especially in the eye of abstract ethics?
13194It seems to me rather this way: We''ve got to have lumber, have n''t we?
13194It''ll be two days before anybody shows up, and then where are you at?
13194It''ll take all summer to get the permit, and you do n''t want to lose a season, do you?"
13194It''s all a matter of public record, is n''t it?"
13194It''s mine, is n''t it?
13194It''s quite wonderful when you stop to think about it, is n''t it?
13194Just scribble me a temporary permit, will you?"
13194Know?"
13194Ledges?
13194Let''s see; how long you got grub for?"
13194Like to hunt?"
13194Make the''varsity?"
13194Mountain grandeur somewhat on the blink?
13194Not how much they_ produce_, but their net exportations?"
13194Now let''s get this straight; the cases go on?"
13194Now look here,"he resumed his sober tone and more considered speech;"what else can you do?"
13194Now that he realized the investigation must, in the natural course of events, come to his holdings, what would be his second line?
13194Now what do you want us to do?"
13194Now will you tell me how Mr. Man could get it any straighter than that?"
13194Now, would n''t that come and get you?"
13194Of it all what had he retained?
13194Oldham made you an offer from us, did n''t he?"
13194Oldham?"
13194Or are they over there already?"
13194Or perhaps you do n''t know?
13194Otherwise, how would a man as fat as that get a job of Forest Supervisor?
13194Our logs are all marked, are n''t they?"
13194Out in camp, eh?"
13194Prefer charges against Plant?
13194Question: what possibly could everybody in the mountains be interested in that the Forest Service would object to?"
13194Ranger?"
13194Reckon''resign''means fired for daring to say anything about His High- and- mightiness?"
13194Sabe?"
13194Say, you,"he raised his voice peremptorily,"what do you call yourself?"
13194Say,"reflected the livery- man after a moment,"he''s right out for the little stuff, ai n''t he?
13194Say,"went on the young man in absolutely conversational tones,"do n''t you see I''m mad?"
13194Simeon Wright?
13194Simple life for yours, eh?
13194Smith?"
13194Something to do with fraudulent homesteading, was n''t it?"
13194Suit you?"
13194Suppose the fire should break across simultaneously in seven places?
13194That ai n''t so, is it?"
13194That they can keep a man out of his own_ land_?"
13194That was all very well, but what next?
13194That''s in the First Reader and maybe somewhere down among the Black and Tans--""Black and Tans?"
13194That''s what these fellows are here for, is n''t it?"
13194The lumberman fulfills a commercial function, like any one else; why should n''t he be allowed freely a commercial reward?
13194The tags hanging from them represent the lumber piles themselves; see?"
13194Then the Government is going to open up on us?"
13194There was nothing left to burn fresh inside the fire line, was there?
13194Think it''ll work?"
13194Think that bogy- man of yours had got me?"
13194Thorne_ vs._ Plant-- looks like easy money on Thorne, eh?
13194To sell, do n''t we?
13194Understand?
13194Understand?"
13194Up here to look around a little?"
13194Wanted me out of the way, did you?
13194Was his one chance escaping him?
13194We''ve saved them; now what are we going to do with them?
13194Well, John Harvey, Junior,"said he to that youth,"what do you think of it?
13194Well, do n''t every man take up timber?
13194Welton''s lands are in Granite County?"
13194Welton?"
13194Welton?"
13194Were n''t out with the boys last night, were you?"
13194Were n''t you there?"
13194What I want to know is, are you going to use it?"
13194What I want to know is, how high is the limit on this game anyway?"
13194What about everybody, everywhere?
13194What about that Wolverine Company of yours?
13194What about the Yellow Pine people?
13194What am I to do?"
13194What chance has a poor fellow like that without money or influence?
13194What did you_ do?_"Bob reflected.
13194What difference does it make?
13194What do a few pennies amount to?
13194What do you expect?"
13194What do you know about timber grading?
13194What do you mean by blackmailer?"
13194What do you mean?"
13194What do you say to going in with me to manufacture?"
13194What do you think of it for a young and active lumberman?
13194What do you think of that?"
13194What does that amount to?"
13194What for do we keep cattle?
13194What good does that do me here?
13194What if you were not a government officer?"
13194What in blazes did you want to buy that little strip this late in the day for?"
13194What in blazes is the point?"
13194What is it?"
13194What is success?
13194What is your name?"
13194What is your scientific training--?"
13194What more do you want?"
13194What of the cases wherein apparently legality and equity took opposite sides?
13194What on earth is the difference whether they walk or ride?"
13194What reason do you assign for refusing it?"
13194What right has this man Baker to get pay for what he ai n''t done?"
13194What right or justice is there in that?"
13194What shall I do about it?"
13194What sort of a fellow was he?
13194What the hell difference did it make to me what the country was like?
13194What the hell do I care where it is?
13194What was it all about?"
13194What would he have done with that baggage out here in this lonesome wilderness of unbroken barrens and mud?
13194What would he think of me?"
13194What would you think of a man who cleared a''forty'', and pulled all the stumps, and then quit work?"
13194What''s exhausted you fellows, anyway?
13194What''s the general outline of_ this_ graft?"
13194What''s the matter?"
13194What''s the point?"
13194What''s the use of it all?"
13194What''s those dinkey little reports and monkeydoodle business amount to, anyhow?
13194What''s up?"
13194What''s your job?"
13194When do you expect to begin your examinations?
13194When they managed to decipher the oldest known piece of hieroglyphics on an Assyrian brick, what do you suppose it turned out to be?"
13194When will he show up?"
13194When you get right down to cases, how about the rest of them?
13194Where had he been?
13194Where had he seen the man before?
13194Where is George and me and the Mortons and the Carrolls, and all the rest of the mountain folks going to get alfalfa hay?
13194Where is he now?
13194Where would he get off at without Plant?
13194Where''d you expect them to put a railroad-- out where the scenery is?
13194Wherein did he differ from Hicks?
13194Which part of the country are you going to?"
13194Who are they?"
13194Who gets up there?"
13194Who is he?"
13194Who sent you this early, anyway?"
13194Who''s the public?
13194Who''s we?"
13194Who?"
13194Why are n''t they in jail?
13194Why did n''t you make a chance to talk?"
13194Why did these men prefer to endure neglect and open hostility to the favour of their neighbours and easier work?
13194Why did they do it?
13194Why did you do it?"
13194Why do n''t they stick to their own?"
13194Why do you suppose he did n''t shoot?"
13194Why does a fat man who ca n''t ride a horse hold a job as Forest Supervisor in a mountain country?"
13194Why does a fat man who is hated by every mountain man, who grafts barefacedly, whose men are either loafers or discouraged,_ hold_ his job?"
13194Why does he say he does all this?"
13194Why does the Government pick on me and try to drive me off''n my little place where I''m living, and leave these other fellows be?
13194Why had he been dissatisfied with business opportunities and successes beyond the hopes of most young men?
13194Why had he done so?
13194Why in blazes did you make this break, anyway?"
13194Why in hell do n''t they keep their men in charge?"
13194Why is it?"
13194Why should n''t you pay for that service, just the same as you pay for a night watchman at your works?"
13194Why, friends?
13194Why?
13194Why?
13194Why?
13194Why_ should_ we pay it?"
13194Will he come alone, or will he bring a half- dozen with him?
13194Will you give me a check now?"
13194Will you take a try my way?"
13194Wo n''t I do?"
13194Wonder how that will hit our old friend, Thorne?"
13194Would I have done better to have done so?"
13194Would Mr. Welton negotiate?
13194Would his word suffice?
13194Would n''t you like to be helping them do it?"
13194Would you describe him as a typical sheepman, or as a daring and resolute bee- keeper?"
13194XIV"What might your name be?"
13194Yet where is the middle ground?
13194You ai n''t seen it, by any chance?"
13194You ca n''t condemn a man for doing his best, can you?"
13194You ca n''t expect me to tell him to get to hell out of there when he has a duly authorized permit, do you?"
13194You disbelieve my power?"
13194You do n''t happen to need no more money?"
13194You like this work, do n''t you?"
13194You remember?"
13194You remember?"
13194You say he run?"
13194You say he''ll testify?"
13194You say it''s a big fire?"
13194You''d look sweet retiring, now, would n''t you?"
13194You''re a new one, ai n''t ye?"

22571You owe what?
22571You think I am Black Harry?
22571You were on that train?
22571You will not let me go?
22571You will not?
22571You wo n''t hit me when I do so?
22571You-- you? 22571 You?
22571You? 22571 You?"
22571You?
22571Your father-- who is he?
22571A queer look came into the guide''s eye, and he asked:"How much o''it does he drink a day?"
22571Ai n''t they got ter come ter shore somewhar?
22571Ai n''t we got ter find''em?
22571An''do yez soay her fayther is ould Uric Dugan hissilf?"
22571An''whar did he find it?"
22571And how does it happen that you have become separated from your guardian and friend?"
22571Are we to do nothing now that we are here?"
22571Are yer done fer, youngster?"
22571Are you insane?
22571Bart said:"Do you know, Frank, I never touched a cigarette since you induced me to swear off at Fardale?"
22571Bending over her, Bart echoed the question:"Are you severely harmed, Miss Melburn?"
22571But were they?
22571But what could he do now?
22571But what could he do?
22571But what was that?
22571But, say, do you think there is much danger of lynchers to- night?"
22571Can he be her brother?"
22571Can that be Bart Hodge, my schoolmate, chum, and comrade of Fardale?
22571Can you doubt the wisdom and goodness of an Overruling Power after this?"
22571Can you see them?"
22571Can you tell me why?"
22571Dawson, the wounded banker, is there?"
22571Did he still dream?
22571Did you do all this shooting?"
22571Did you knock me down?
22571Do I git ther terbacker?
22571Do n''t yer''low yer''d best go back ter''Rapahoe, an''stay thar?
22571Do n''t you know anything a tall?
22571Do you know whut you done?
22571Do you mean to thay I am no gentleman, thir?"
22571Do you mind giving me the names of your traveling companions?"
22571Do you see you are snared?"
22571Do you suppose I would think of leaving you in his power if there was any possible way for me to save you?"
22571Do you vant me to gif him to you?
22571Does any critter hyar suspect thar''d been any monkey business with thet thar young gent?
22571Does he kerry it in quart bottles, or by ther gallon?"
22571Does thet go?"
22571Dot a tookie?"
22571Finally he turned a bit, saying:"Who was singing here a short time ago?"
22571For what?
22571Frank Merriwell was trembling with eagerness and excitement, and he appealed to Old Solitary:"Are we to remain inactive and see this frightful deed?
22571Frank spent some moments in thought, and then asked:"Are Clyde and Graves still together?"
22571Frank touched his hat, paused, and asked:"Is this seat taken, miss?"
22571Frank''s hands found the wounded man, and he asked:"Where did the bullet strike you, Hermit?"
22571Had they killed his faithful friend?
22571Have they been killed already?"
22571He is the man you saw this morning?"
22571How did she happen to be with you?"
22571How did you come by this white babby?"
22571How do you propose to reach this retreat of the Danites?"
22571How do you suppose she happened to have it?
22571How does it happen that you are here?"
22571How have you harmed me?"
22571How in the name of all that is wonderful does it happen there is a girl here?"
22571How kin I make''em disperse, so I kin kerry him ter ther jail?"
22571How would he solve the mystery if they placed him under arrest?
22571How?"
22571I reckon you kin shoot some?"
22571I wonder if she has seen us here?"
22571I wonder why they have left me alone so long?
22571In a moment the man above cried:"Are you gone, boy?
22571Is it dramin''ye wur, or have ye wheels in yer head?"
22571Is it possible?"
22571Is she in the car now?"
22571Is there no one in the wide world I can trust?"
22571It is not possible that he is Black Harry, for----""Were you with him last night?"
22571Little Fay had ceased her sobbing, and the silence was finally broken by her voice:"Who''s doin''to tate me to my mamma?"
22571Look here; do you know this sign?"
22571Must he remain impassive, and let events go on as they might?
22571Not on the train?"
22571Now I''ve tol''yer whutever I know''bout ther Hermit, mebbe ye''ll give me a few p''ints''bout t''other gent?"
22571Now----""Now what?"
22571One of the men turned sharply on Frank, hoarsely crying:"What does that mean?"
22571One of them, a villainous- looking half- blood, spoke up:"What white boys do?
22571Phwat will we do?"
22571Pwhat is it?"
22571Reaching the door, he shot open a small panel and shouted:"Whatever do yer think ye''re doin''out thar?
22571See those two posts in the full glare of light?
22571Seeing how agitated his friend was, Frank surrendered the girl, asking:"Are you severely harmed, Miss Isban?"
22571Shall I put a biece uf baper roundt i d?"
22571She clung to him, sobbing:"Is you doin''to leave me?
22571Th''ould thing did n''t go off av itsilf, did it?"
22571That not proving effectual, he growled:"Wa- al, I wonders whut kind o''game them yar kids hev struck now?"
22571The driver who was carrying the boys continued past, turned the first corner, stopped short, jumped down, opened the door, and said:"Got''em?
22571The fall seemed to stun the man in leather breeches, but he soon sat up, and then, seeing Solomon waiting for him to rise, he asked:"Whar is it?"
22571Then he fell back a step, hoarsely saying:"Would you put a curse upon me by making me a murderer?
22571Then he turned on the girl they had been defending, stared straight into her face for a moment, and asked:"What is your name?"
22571They had dealt with one maniac, and now was it possible that they were to encounter another?
22571Think we ca n''t dodge them red whelps in ther dark?"
22571Think yer kin stan''it, eh?
22571Think you can slip me this way?
22571This awakened Fay, who looked about in a wondering manner with her big, blue eyes, and then half sobbed:"Where is my mamma?
22571Traveling?"
22571Uf you like i d so vel, v''y you don''d bought i d?"
22571Understand?"
22571Vas you dryin''to ruin me?
22571Vat you gif vor dat peautiful revolfer, meester?"
22571Vat you vant?
22571Vill you dake''em?"
22571Was Old Rocks in trouble?
22571Was the man ordering his arrest?
22571We are strangers, and why should I be offended?"
22571What can I do?"
22571What could Bart think about a girl who carried two bright new counterfeit fifty- dollar bills in her purse?
22571What did you say your name is?"
22571What do you make of that?"
22571What do you make of that?"
22571What do you mean, Moses?"
22571What do you mean?"
22571What do you say?
22571What do you think, Mr.--ah-- er-- I beg your pardon?"
22571What has happened to rob me of my memory?
22571What have I ever done to make men afraid of me?"
22571What if it were generally believed that he was, in truth, Black Harry, and the mob should take a fancy to lynch him?
22571What made you do such a mad thing?"
22571What''m I goin''ter do when I want ter go out fishin''?"
22571What''s the matter?
22571Whatever are you doin''with my canoe?
22571Whatever be yer doin''hyar?"
22571Whatever is thet?"
22571Whatever is this yar?
22571When Frank had finished, the strange man eagerly asked:"Her name-- her full name-- did you learn it?"
22571When are you going abroad?"
22571Where are the men?"
22571Where could he go?
22571Where is Paul?
22571Where is this forsaken hole on the face of the earth?
22571Where others?"
22571White boys make Injuns mad, then where um be?"
22571Whither are we bound?"
22571Who is it that is already within the snare?"
22571Who is she, me b''y?
22571Who was in it?"
22571Who were my friends?
22571Who''s with me?"
22571Who?"
22571Whom can she mean?
22571Whoy did n''t we shtay with th''profissor?"
22571Whut has ther boy found?
22571Whut''s ther matter with you, boy?
22571Why did n''t you leave him to be lynched?
22571Why did you come here?"
22571Why is it so?
22571Why should I do so?
22571Why should I?
22571Why should it seem remarkable for me to capture Black Harry?"
22571Why should you do such a thing?"
22571Will you speak before them?"
22571Would he be conscious when they struck, or would the fall rob him of his senses?
22571Would you betray me?
22571Would you mind giving me small bills for another fifty?"
22571Ye do n''t mean ter say you did n''t hit me with a club, or something like a hunk o''quartz?"
22571You are from the East, I presume?"
22571You are in Oklahoma on business?"
22571You do n''t like little dirls we''en they cwy, does you?"
22571You dot somet''ing dood to eat?"
22571You know ther babby- gal whut yer saw at our camp?"
22571You know where to find my papa?"
22571You remember it?"
22571You tate me to my mamma?"
22571Your friends-- are they on this train?"
22571cried the sheriff, his amazement increasing--"you youngsters?
22571exclaimed Frank, catching hold of a sleepy driver and giving him a whirl;"see that carriage?"
22571he cried, addressing the Hermit;"what do you mean by coming into this camp and raising such a row?
22571shoot buffalo?"
22571snarled Old Rocks;"fancy I''d snooze right along an''let anything like thet happen?
22571ur do I hev ter pull my liver out tryin''ter make chawin''terbacker burn?"
30567A gentleman to see me, Hiram? 30567 Afraid of horse- thieves, or something like that?"
30567After Isom Chase came into the room you had words?
30567After Isom fell-- after the gun went off and Isom fell-- what did you and Joe do?
30567Ai n''t it awful?
30567Ai n''t it terrible?
30567Ai n''t you goin''to eat your dinner, Ollie?
30567All right, is he?
30567Am I too late-- is it over-- have they convicted him?
30567And about what time of night was it when you heard the shot in Isom Chase''s house, and ran over?
30567And that might be about what hour?
30567And then what did you do next?
30567And there was absolutely nobody in the house that night but yourself and Joe Newbolt?
30567And this one might be any one of a thousand like it, might n''t it, Sol?
30567And what did Isom say when he came in, Joe?
30567And what did Joe Newbolt say?
30567And when you opened the kitchen door and stepped inside of that room, what did you do?
30567Are you going over that way now?
30567Are you the watch- dog of the old man''s treasury?
30567Are you?
30567But I wonder what it can be that the boy''s holding back?
30567But he''s innocent-- you do n''t doubt that?
30567But you had various opportunities for talking together alone, had n''t you?
30567Can I help you any, Ollie?
30567Could n''t you manage to pick us a mess of dandelion for supper, Ollie?
30567Did Isom Chase ever find you alone with his wife?
30567Did Joe Newbolt ever make love to you?
30567Did he ever kiss you?
30567Did he slap you this morning?
30567Did n''t you ever read any other book?
30567Did you ever raise any strawberries?
30567Did you ever read_ True as Steel_?
30567Did you hear what he said to me this morning when he was standin''there by the steps?
30567Did you open it and count the money in it, or tie a string or something onto it so you''d know it when you saw it again?
30567Did you see him here last night?
30567Did you see that long whetstone lying around anywhere, Ollie?
30567Did you step over where the dead body was at and heft it?
30567Do n''t she come any more, Joe?
30567Do n''t the darned fool know he''s pokin''his head under the gallus?
30567Do n''t you know the banks are full of little sacks of money like that?
30567Do n''t you remember him? 30567 Do we know that?"
30567Do you care about reading?
30567Do you care for it?
30567Do you know anything about a man who had been boarding here the past week or two?
30567Do you know when and where that son was born?
30567Do you like mignonette?
30567Do you mean to say that there were improper relations between you? 30567 Do you recall the day?"
30567Do you recall the morning after your arrival at the home of Isom Chase to begin your service there, when you threatened to kill him?
30567Do you reckon I could lie and sleep and slumber when my last and only livin''one''s goin''away to become a servant in the house of bondage? 30567 Do you remember to whom Isom left his property in that will?"
30567Do you remember what the trouble was about and what said?
30567Do you think he''ll consent to your employing another lawyer for him?
30567Do you think it''ll stick to me, and keep it up?
30567Do you?
30567Does he favor Isom any?
30567Does_ she_ know? 30567 Drink this, unless you have scruples?"
30567Funny?
30567Goin''to bed, heh?
30567Got his picture, I reckon?
30567Had n''t we better pick Isom up off the floor?
30567Had you ever seen him putting any of it away around the barn, or in the haystack, maybe?
30567Have they took him up?
30567Have you found them all?
30567Have you got another match in your hand? 30567 Have you thought what people would say about you if you went away with Morgan, Ollie?"
30567Heh?
30567How did you git out of that pen, you old scalawag?
30567How long was that before Isom came in?
30567How much does Joe reckon he''ll git off of that patch of berries when it begins to bear?
30567How old is he?
30567How tall would you have a lady grow? 30567 How would you do that?
30567How''d he come to go after me?
30567How? 30567 I suppose they''ll build in time, though?"
30567I will ask you again-- what were the words that passed between you and Isom Chase that night?
30567If I had n''t''a''known that you was the smartest boy of your age anywhere around here, do you suppose I''d have taken you in this way?
30567If he does anything that deserves thrashing for, I''ve got a right to thrash him, do you understand that?
30567If he''d wanted to run, if he''d had anything to run from, he could''a''gone last night, could n''t he, you dunce?
30567Is anybody sick over your way?
30567Is he going to give us another chance?
30567Is he married?
30567Is he telling the truth?
30567Is it good?
30567Is n''t it a fact that Isom Chase saw you with that bag of money in your hand when he came in, and sprang for the gun to protect his property?
30567Is that so?
30567Is they erry winder in that room?
30567Isom?
30567Joe''ll build, I reckon, before then?
30567Joe-- where''s Joe? 30567 Judge Burns?"
30567Loud enough for anybody upstairs to hear-- loud enough to wake anybody asleep up there?
30567Morgan?
30567Mosquito bar, you mean?
30567My, but you''re a mighty religious boy, are n''t you?
30567Need any more cover on your bed, or anything?
30567No crop this year?
30567No hard feelin''s left behind me?
30567No hard feeling, Joe, I hope?
30567Not Curtis Morgan?
30567Not even my diamonds?
30567Now I will ask you, Mrs. Chase, whether your husband and this defendant, Joe Newbolt, ever had words in your hearing?
30567Now, what were you looking around for, Joe?
30567Oh, colonel, I forgot to ask the sheriff, but do you reckon they''ll give my Joe enough to eat?
30567Oh, let a feller have his joke, wo n''t you, Joe?
30567Oh, then Joe he told you how it happened?
30567Oh, what is it, what is it?
30567Oh, what''s that got to do with it?
30567Oh, what''s the use?
30567Or_ Tempest and Sunshine_?
30567Purty as a picture, ai n''t she?
30567Religious?
30567Say forty or fifty thousand worth, heh?
30567Sir?
30567So he brought a Bible, did he?
30567So you fixed it up with him?
30567So you have to have somebody else to do your thinkin''for you, do you?
30567Some of your folks?
30567Something-- something of mine?
30567That''ll be two or three years, maybe?
30567That''s what you heard Joe Newbolt say to your husband up there in the loft over your head?
30567Then how did it come that when Mrs. Greening and her daughter- in- law arrived a few minutes later you were all dressed up in a white dress?
30567Then how do you know this is it?
30567Then if you will excuse me for a moment, madam?
30567Then what did you do?
30567Then whose?
30567Then why did n''t you let him talk, Alice? 30567 Then why do you say you hope he''ll never try it?"
30567Then you refuse to answer, and persist in your refusal?
30567Then you''ll let me go, you''ll let me go?
30567Then,said the judge,"would it incriminate you to reply to the prosecuting attorney''s question?"
30567There was nobody in the room but Joe Newbolt when you arrived?
30567There''s law for you two if I want to take it on you, but what''s the punishment of the law for what you''ve done on me? 30567 Thirty or forty years ago,"wrote Uncle John-- what was a decade more or less to him?
30567This man Morgan, the book- agent, who had been boarding with you, had paid his bill and gone away?
30567Was Isom jealous of you?
30567Was it robbers-- is somebody hurt?
30567Was she, Joe?
30567We can get on without the diamonds,said Morgan,"and I do n''t suppose you''ve got any ball dresses or sealskin cloaks?"
30567Well now, what was the beginning of that''little spat''?
30567Well, I hear you''ve got track of Isom''s boy at last, Judge?
30567Well, I suppose he''s going to put us out?
30567Well, Mother, what''s happened?
30567Well, Mr. Chase, you''ve come to put us out, I reckon?
30567Well, do you think you''ll be elected?
30567Well, what do you think of the new hand?
30567Well, what if he has?
30567Well, whose fault is it, Sol?
30567Well?
30567Were they loud and boisterous words, or were they low and subdued?
30567Were you going out somewhere?
30567What about?
30567What am I to them but''the pore folks''boy''? 30567 What are we going to do?"
30567What could you do with all the chances in the world, you and him-- what did your husband ever do with his chances? 30567 What did Isom Chase catch you at when he came into that kitchen?"
30567What did he threaten to kill you for?
30567What did they do with Joe?
30567What did you and Isom quarrel about last night?
30567What did you say?
30567What do you know about it?
30567What do you mean by this kind of capers?
30567What do you mean by''dishonorable deal''?
30567What do you mean-- what do I care where he''s gone?
30567What had you done to send Isom off into a temper that way?
30567What had you hidden in that room that you wanted a light to find?
30567What is it-- what''s gone wrong with my little manager?
30567What time do you aim to be back today?
30567What was that noise? 30567 What were you carrying in your hand?"
30567What will I have to do to bind Joe over to you?
30567What will you tell them-- what will you say?
30567What work is it?
30567What would the world be without its jokes?
30567What would you do to him, Joe?
30567What''re you goin''to do-- pole off and tell the old man?
30567What''s a name when you despise it?
30567What''s happened?
30567What''s the matter with you, you poor wretch?
30567What''s the matter, kid?
30567What''s the use of puttin''the truth back of you when you''re bound to come face up to it in the end?
30567What''s to save him, child?
30567What''ve you got there, Mother?
30567When can she come home, Judge, when can she come back?
30567When did you first see this bag of money?
30567When did you first see this?
30567When you lit that lamp, what did you want to see?
30567When''ll they be ripe?
30567When''s he goin''to marry?
30567When?
30567Where did Isom Chase keep his money?
30567Where did that boy ever hear tell of Marcus Aurelius?
30567Where was Ollie Chase when Isom came into that room?
30567Where was Ollie Chase?
30567Where''s Joe?
30567Where''s Missis Chase?
30567Where''s Missis Chase?
30567Which feller?
30567Which?
30567Which?
30567Who done it?
30567Who else was in that room?
30567Who was that man?
30567Who''s that, who''s that?
30567Who?
30567Why did n''t Joe come after me?
30567Why did n''t you go and see what was the matter?
30567Why did n''t you make him tell?
30567Why did you do it-- why did n''t you let him tell it, child? 30567 Why have you waited so long?"
30567Why should anybody wonder, I''d like for you to tell me?
30567Why should it?
30567Why, ai n''t you runnin''for President on the squash- vine ticket?
30567Why, what difference does it make?
30567Why, you do n''t suppose anybody would do that?
30567Why, you''ve got your mother, have n''t you?
30567Why?
30567Why?
30567Will you answer my question?
30567Will you go, or shall I?
30567Will you strike a light, Ollie? 30567 With his hat in his hand, as if he had just entered the room, or was about to leave it?"
30567With your hat in your hand, or on your head, or where?
30567Yes?
30567You ai n''t seen him, heh?
30567You are making a point of honor of it?
30567You did n''t ordinarily pack a gun around with you, then?
30567You did n''t see it when he was trying to get the gun, and when you say you were struggling with him, doing the best you could to hold him back?
30567You did? 30567 You do n''t mean my Joe?"
30567You fixed it up?
30567You had no quarrel before he said that, Isom just burst right into the room and threatened to kill you, did he, Joe? 30567 You mean that you want me to bind Joe out to you till he''s his own man?"
30567You mean to say there was another woman somewheres?
30567You refuse to answer any more questions, then?
30567You remember that both Mr. Hammer and Mr. Lucas asked Joe and Mrs. Chase a good deal about a book- agent boarder, Curtis Morgan?
30567You say that this is the same sack of money that was there on the floor with Isom Chase''s body when you entered the room?
30567You say there was a sound of scuffling after Isom called him?
30567You say you know about that sack of money?
30567You surely did n''t walk over here?
30567You think you''ll go down the river for a double- nine?
30567You were alone with Isom in the kitchen when this happened?
30567You''re not afraid of him?
30567Your horse sick, or something?
30567After yesterday''s strange act, which seemed so prophetic of today''s climax in the case, what was she going to do?
30567And Curtis Morgan-- where was he, the man to blame for all this thing?
30567And Joe Newbolt was standing beside the body of Isom Chase, near the head, you say?"
30567And beyond blood, what was there to be considered when it came to marrying and breeding up a race of men?
30567And should he reveal the thing that would bring him liberty?
30567And suppose that he never came back; suppose that Ollie should not elect to stand forth and explain the hidden part of that night''s tragedy?
30567And that''s what you''d be, both of you, do n''t you see?
30567And then what did you do?"
30567As she looked at Joe''s back the moment he stood with hand on the door, her one thought was:"Will he tell?"
30567Before Sol could adjust his program to meet this unexpected exigency, she demanded:"Well, what''s the matter with Isom?"
30567Bow her head, meekly, and bear him out?
30567But who will believe the weak and improbable story this woman has told on the witness- stand?
30567But why had her face grown red that way, he wondered?
30567CHAPTER VIII WILL HE TELL?
30567Ca n''t you see it?"
30567Ca n''t you see that, Father, do n''t you understand?"
30567Ca n''t you see that, father?"
30567Ca n''t you talk without it?"
30567Can I speak to you a minute?"
30567Chase?"
30567Chase?"
30567Chase?"
30567Could n''t they let the poor child stay there till morning, under her own mother''s roof?
30567Did Isom Chase carry it with him when he entered the house?
30567Did Isom get him?"
30567Did good blood make men different from those who came of mongrel strain, in other points than that of endurance alone?
30567Did n''t you never hear tell of that before neither, Sol Greening?"
30567Did the prosecutor hold her more of an enemy than a friend to his efforts to convict the man whose hand had made her a widow?
30567Did this end it; did this come in answer to her prayers for a bolt to fall on him and wither him in his tracks?
30567Do n''t you see it, kid?"
30567Do n''t you see?"
30567Do n''t you think he''s all I said he was?"
30567Do n''t you think so, Alice?"
30567Do you understand this?"
30567For whom could she be straining and watching?
30567Gentlemen, are you ready for trial?"
30567God A''mighty, is he hurt?"
30567Granting that they found him, who was there to make him speak?
30567Had Joe not denied them both to her?
30567Had Joe told her?
30567Had he ever laid hands on her in temper?
30567Had the coward betrayed her?
30567Hammer?"
30567Have you heard about my boy Joe?"
30567He could very well be a robber, indeed, and there was no room for him to turn out anything nobler, for was n''t he the pore folks''boy?
30567He had promised never to tell Isom what he knew, but how was he to save himself now without betraying her?
30567He was that tall, fair man who sold us the_ History of the World_, was n''t he?"
30567How did she know?
30567How do you know he will?"
30567How far would Morgan permit them to go?
30567How much would he tell?
30567How tall do you think one ought to be?"
30567I did n''t want that business that Joe Newbolt''s been keeping back let out on her, do n''t you see, Judge?
30567I suppose we might as well proceed to open the document?"
30567I''m not a hard man by nature-- my actions with you prove that, do n''t they?"
30567If a woman demanded blood, said the general, where could she aspire above Shelley?
30567In that case, what should she do?
30567Is n''t there some way-- have they convicted Joe?"
30567Isom never had a son, and even if he did by some woman he was n''t married to, how''s he goin''to prove he''s the feller?"
30567It concerns her and me, Judge; it ai n''t the kind of a story a man''s folks would want told around about his wife, you understand?"
30567It stuck to me till I got on that train and headed for this town, and I''ll hear the ring of it in my ear to my last-- what''s that?"
30567Knowing what he knew, and seeing what he saw, should he allow things to proceed as they had been going?
30567Let him wait till Morgan came, and then---- But what grounds had he now for believing Morgan might come?
30567Little?"
30567Now, what did he say before that?"
30567Now, where was Joe Newbolt?"
30567Now, you''re sure about that?"
30567Now,_ why_ did you light the lamp?"
30567Ollie, do n''t you know that boy''s got as good a strain in him as you''ll find in this part of the country?"
30567Or was it only another complication of shame and disgrace?
30567Or what was Isom Chase, his life, his death, or his widow, to her?
30567Presently he returned to his prying, and asked:"Can Ollie come in for her dower rights in case the court lets Isom''s will stand?"
30567She had made her preparations long before that tragic hour; she was ready and waiting-- waiting for what?
30567Should he speak?
30567Should he tell him about Morgan, and have him set men on his track to drag him back and make him tell the truth?
30567That''s what you wanted him to understand, was n''t it?"
30567Then the colonel:"Well, Alice?"
30567They say Joe''s got one of them lawn- cutters to mow it with?"
30567They were waiting for the answer, and why should he not speak?
30567Those were your words, were they not?"
30567Was freedom more precious than his honor, and the honor of a poor, shrinking, deluded woman?
30567Was he dead, slain by his own hand in the baseness of his own heart?
30567Was it deliverance, freedom?
30567We do n''t need the light, do we, Joe?
30567Well, did you go over to it and make a mark on it so you''d know it again?"
30567Well, sakes-- who done it?"
30567What are two years to me?
30567What are you looking at?"
30567What business had the pore folks''s boy with the speech of a school- teacher or minister in his mouth?
30567What could she know?
30567What did he say?"
30567What did it matter for the world''s final exculpation, if Alice were not there to hear?
30567What did it mean?
30567What did she know?
30567What did she know?
30567What did she suspect?
30567What do you know?"
30567What else did he say?"
30567What had Joe told them?
30567What if Morgan never should come back?
30567What if she should find herself a double widow, bereft of both the living and the dead?
30567What if they should get up and denounce her?
30567What might a whisper now, a smile then, a kindness, a word, a hand laid softly upon his hair, work in the days to come?
30567What need had Isom for making a will?
30567What profit was there in silence when it would be so unjustly interpreted?
30567What should he do about that in his relations with Hammer?
30567What was Isom Chase doing with it there at that hour of the night?
30567What was Joe Newbolt and his obscure life to Colonel Price''s fine daughter, sitting there dressed better than any other woman in the room?
30567What was a will for but to leave property, and what need had Isom for making one?
30567What was he doin''there in the kitchen with the lamp lit that hour of the night?
30567What was he to Alice Price, and what did she know of the secret which he had been keeping shut behind his stubborn lips all that time?
30567What was it doing there?
30567What was it-- cholera- morbus?"
30567What was that quarrel over?"
30567What was the trouble between him and Isom about?
30567What was there about the poor folks''boy, bound out but yesterday to Isom Chase, and still bound to his estate under the terms of his articles?
30567What was there in him to reach out and touch the sympathies of this beautiful young woman, who came to him with the scent of violets in her hair?
30567What was this awful thing with which Sol Greening had charged him, over which the whole neighborhood soon must talk and conjecture?
30567What was this grim thing of which they had accused her Joe?
30567What were they going to do to Joe-- what were they going to do?
30567What were those words between you and Isom Chase?"
30567What will you say?"
30567What would Joe answer to that?
30567What would it avail in the end?
30567What''s the matter-- can''t you talk?"
30567Where did it come from?
30567Where did that bag of gold come from?
30567Where did that there money come from, gentlemen?
30567Where did your husband keep his money in the house?"
30567Where do you expect to go when you leave here; what plans have you got for the future?"
30567Where have you been?"
30567Where was Morgan, why did he remain away when he might come boldly now, like a man, and claim his own?
30567Where''d that money come from?"
30567Who could tell?
30567Who done it?"
30567Who else was there for Joe, who else was there for Alice?"
30567Who else was there for him to will his property to?
30567Who is it?"
30567Who is so blind that he can not see the stain of her infidelity and the ghastly blight of that midnight shadow upon her quaking soul?"
30567Who is so simple, indeed, as to be unaware of that?
30567Who was here when it happened?"
30567Why did Alice Price look at her so accusingly?
30567Why did he make that threat?"
30567Why did she turn to her father and nod and whisper that way?
30567Why had she run away?
30567Why should he be called upon to do this thing-- why,_ why_?
30567Why should he seal his lips for Ollie, go to the gallows for her, perhaps, and leave the blight of that shameful end upon his name forever?
30567Why should he suffer all that public misjudgment and humiliation, all that pain and twisting of the conscience on Morgan''s account?
30567Why, you do n''t suspiciont he done it, do you, Sol?"
30567Why?"
30567Will He Tell?
30567Will it be necessary for you to retire to the jury room?"
30567Would Morgan come to save him from that fate?
30567Would that be fair?"
30567Would you be man enough to step out into the storm of scorn, and shoulder your part of the load like a man?"
30567Would you take her to your heart then, Morgan?
30567You say that you and Isom quarreled last night?"
30567You''d have made a lady of her, would you?
30567said Greening, looking at Joe fearfully,"just you and him?"
30567she moaned, her hands pressed to her face now;"why could n''t you have been kind to me; why could n''t you have said a good word to me sometimes?
30567that you were, in a word, unfaithful to your husband, Isom Chase?"
31699''Bout a dozen or fifteen: why?
31699''Tain''t none o''that thar Taos lightnin''?
31699Ah?
31699Ai n''t that a sensible answer? 31699 Ai n''t that ol''feller St Louis Joe?"
31699Ai n''t that so, Buck?
31699Ai n''t ye got no sense, ye Root Digger? 31699 Ai n''t you going to alarm the camp?"
31699Alone, Joe?
31699An''that? 31699 An''what about th''fight we saw signs of, a couple o''days back?"
31699An''what could we say when we got inter Santer Fe, if we dared go thar?
31699And how did he offend you, Mr. Boyd, if I may inquire?
31699And what about the Texans, and this fight here?
31699Answer- me- I- say- what- in- hell''s- th''-matter- down- here?
31699Any danger from th''Injuns, leavin''that way?
31699Are you going far, Miss Cooper?

31699Come, up with it, were you?
31699Comin'', Boyd?

31699Did n''t I say I could fix us up so our own mothers would n''t know us?
31699Did n''t the boat stop?
31699Did they leave the cabin before you saw me come in?
31699Did we strike anything?
31699Did ye see his mean ol''eyes near pop out when she fizzed? 31699 Did you hear any shooting, then?"
31699Do n''t they know th''dance is over till mornin''?
31699Do n''t you know an owl or a wolf when you hear one?
31699Do you think they will?
31699Does not thee señor know?

31699Hain''t ye got no sense?
31699Has Señor Boyd ever been een our Santa Fe?
31699Have you fellers looked in a glass yit?
31699Have you seen Patience?

31699High an''mighty with yer mouth, ai n''t ye? 31699 How could it be, him jest a- comin''from Missouri?"
31699How fur away from hyar does it begin?
31699How in tarnation kin a man keep th''trail o''a slippery critter like him in these yere crowds? 31699 How long war you two holdin''off th''six o''''em?"
31699How long will it take us to reach Independence Landing?
31699How long will this high water last, anyhow?
31699How many are there of you?
31699How was it that the fur company''s boat was tied at the levee at St. Louis, after we left?
31699How ye makin''out with yer friend, Abe?
31699How''bout our rifles then?
31699How''d it happen?
31699How''d ye get so wet? 31699 How''s that?"
31699Huh?
31699I thought ye said you''d never tell nobody about that country ag''in?
31699I wonder where that little keelboat is by now?
31699Injuns an''greasers?
31699Is it true that liquor is smuggled up the river?
31699Is n''t every man expected to do his share in the general duties?
31699Is thar another passel o''Texans loose''round hyar, or has our friends hit th''trail already?
31699J''get her?

31699Of what?

31699See it?

31699Somebody ask ye fer a left- hand wipin''stick, Hank?
31699Tell me what you think of this?
31699Tell me, Salezar,_ where is she_?
31699Tellin''''em about that thar river ye saw that could n''t find no way outer th''valley, an''finally had ter flow up over a mounting?
31699That accounts fer two o''''em,said Hank, nodding heavily;"but who in tarnation is th''third?"

31699Wonder what he thought o''our weapons?
31699Wonder what th''_ white_ men o''this wagon train would do if we rode up an''asked fer th''greasers in it ter be turned over ter us?
31699Wonder what them danged fools air firin''at?

31699Ai n''t that right, Adam?"
31699Ai n''t that so, Jim?"
31699Ai n''t ye got no sense, ye bloodthirsty Injuns?"
31699An''did ye see th''look she gave him?
31699An''suppose ye want ter use a double charge o''powder, whar ye goin''ter put it in them danged little holes?
31699An''th''_ Belle_ ai n''t sailin''till arter ten o''clock, is she?

31699Any more scared o''th''boilers?"
31699Anybody hyar wantin''ter take advantage o''an old man?
31699Anyone who seemed excited and in a hurry?"
31699Anything serious?"
31699Are his young men blind?
31699Are we slaves that we must serve him?
31699Are ye through with th''hold?"
31699Are you sure you are warm enough?"
31699Are you warm enough?

31699Bet ye stood up when ye heard''em?"
31699Boyd?"
31699Boyd?"
31699Boyd?"
31699Boyd?"
31699Boyd?"
31699Boyd?"
31699But is n''t it a most remarkable coincidence?"
31699But, speaking of bullboats, did you ever see one, Miss Cooper?"
31699Can not White Buffalo read the signs on the earth?
31699Capture th''town?"
31699Changed his mind, has he?
31699Cigar?"
31699Come on, friend: what ye say we jine''em?
31699Cooper?"
31699Dang it, Tom, do n''t put all yer aigs in one basket; ai n''t ye keepin''no weapons ye kin be shore on?"

26520A fellow could n''t raise much of a herd in Denver, could he?"
26520A girl''s voice asked,"What shall I do?"
26520Ai n''t that enough?"
26520Ai n''t that good psycho- ology, as Blister says when he calls a busted flush?"
26520Ai n''t two to one good enough?"
26520Ai n''t you ever seen a Ute before?
26520Ai n''t you feelin''good?"
26520Ai n''t you got any spunk a- tall?
26520Ai n''t you?"
26520Am I right, boys?"
26520Am I right?"
26520An''how you shamed Dud into going back with you?
26520An''meanwhile?"
26520And after that what would they do?
26520And they did n''t have to brag afterward about it, did they?
26520And where could I go that he would n''t find me?"
26520And why would He bother about her?
26520Any talk of it down the river?"
26520Anybody else hurt?"
26520Anybody want to take a ride?"
26520Anything to it?"
26520Browning?"
26520Burn me up with thirst, eh?
26520But how''ll we get to Bear Cat?"
26520But how?
26520But what could he do?
26520But where was the roaring bully that had shaken his fist blasphemously at God and man?
26520But would He?
26520CHAPTER XXXI"DON''T YOU LIKE ME ANY MORE?"
26520Can either of you sling hash?"
26520Can you get me a horse?"
26520Claim an ace in the hole, do you?
26520Could he still turn over a leaf and make another start?
26520D''you hear?"
26520D''you notice how his hands jes''topped ours?
26520D''you reckon I''ll let the flunkey of a telephone camp interfere in my business?
26520D- d''you reckon I''m goin''to let you stand up there an''claim He did a pore job?
26520Did he cover you with a gun?"
26520Did he really and truly believe it?
26520Did he rope you off yore horse an''take you along with him?"
26520Did he think it?
26520Did n''t He make you in His image?
26520Did n''t I tell you this bird could n''t drown?"
26520Did n''t you hear me say I don''know a thing about her?
26520Did she expect him to wash here?
26520Did they get''em?"
26520Did this big man by the window belong to her father''s covered past?
26520Did you hear about that?"
26520Did you-- hit..?"
26520Do I get a horse?"
26520Do I have to lose him?"
26520Do n''t I know how it was?
26520Do n''t I know you?
26520Do n''t you boys feel that way too?"
26520Do n''t you see yore only chance is to go out an''make good before the folks who know how you''ve acted?
26520Do we get to see you massacreed again?
26520Do you aim to let folks run on you all yore life?
26520Do you reckon it was a picnic for me?"
26520Does he carry the heart of a squaw?
26520Does that go d- double?"
26520Eh, Pete?"
26520Fifteen or twenty, would you think?"
26520Gleat smoke, Lord allee timee bloke?"
26520Got any witnesses?"
26520Had he been killed?
26520Had he fainted from sheer fright when the gun blazed at him?
26520Had he not ruined her life?
26520Had that innocent child disappeared forever?
26520Had they come to settle with him?
26520Had this hit him with force enough actually to drive the breath out of him?
26520Have a good ride?"
26520Have they got patrols out everywhere?"
26520He broke out suddenly in anger:"What''s eatin''you all?
26520He''d stolen my horse, had n''t he?"
26520Hear anything new about that?"
26520Hear me?"
26520Hear me?"
26520Hear me?"
26520Hear or see anything of the Utes as you came?"
26520Houck?"
26520Houck?"
26520Houck?"
26520How about it, Tom?"
26520How about it?"
26520How could she save herself from the evil shadow that would blot the sunshine from her life?
26520How did he happen to be with you?"
26520How do they know we''re playin''this alone?
26520How do you know he ca n''t?"
26520How do you like ridin'', Texas man?"
26520How had the blond puncher contrived to summon that reserve of audacity which had so captivated the Utes?
26520How many did we lose?"
26520How much do you figure you owe this Jake Houck?
26520How you dragged Jake Houck into the willows right spang from among the Utes?
26520How you feelin''?"
26520How you went for help when everybody thought you''d be killed?
26520How you went to the river an''got him water?
26520How''s Houck?"
26520Howcome they not to get you?"
26520I expect you want a quiet wedding, do n''t you?"
26520I said to him,''Who''s that big black guy?''
26520If I had n''t promised Blister-- But what''s the use?
26520If I talked to him, do n''t you think--?"
26520If I''d known it was Houck--""You knew it was Houck before you dragged him back, did n''t you?"
26520If he had done anything, but what he did do?
26520If she ran away with Bob and married him, what would Houck do in regard to her father?
26520If you''ll accept an invite from the hangee I''ll be glad to have you stay an''--""Hanging him?
26520Is n''t he, Bob?"
26520Is that it?"
26520Is that where you''re driftin''?"
26520Is you is, or is you ai n''t?
26520Learn, ca n''t you?
26520Let him lick me, eh?
26520Mollie runs the hotel, do n''t she?
26520N- never heard of a hold- up gettin''up a petition for better street lights, did you?
26520Not aimin''to hold up the town, are you?"
26520Now do we?"
26520Now that they had discovered him, would the Indians follow him to his hiding- place?
26520Now, then, w- what are you aimin''for to do?"
26520Oh, Bob, are you much hurt?"
26520Or do you stand up an''admit you''re a dirty liar for talkin''thataway?"
26520Or had he thought himself wounded and collapsed because of the thought?
26520Or in that other world to which Jake had so violently gone would he meet again the better self his evil life had smothered?
26520Or is it just talk?"
26520Or let the thing go as it was?
26520Or that the fellow had brushed aside the pride and dignity that fenced her and ravished kisses from her lips while he mocked?
26520Or that they had retired from the field under the impression that all of the riders who had plunged over the bluff had been killed?
26520Or was Blister''s explanation a genuine one?
26520Or was he to wait until she came out?
26520Or what?
26520Or would he attack with his bare hands?
26520Or would he go through?
26520Or would they wait till dusk and creep up on him unseen?
26520Or wounded?
26520Question is, will it ever get a chance to show?
26520Say, how about dinner?
26520Say, what''s the matter with you anyhow?
26520See?
26520See?"
26520Should he shoot again and make sure?
26520Sneak off an''keep still about what you did, amongst s- strangers, an''where do you get off?
26520Tell''em I''m here, mebbe?"
26520That what you mean?"
26520The good Lord made you, did n''t He?
26520Think I do n''t know yore Apache ways?"
26520Think I have n''t heard all about it?
26520Those bushes-- were they really willows or Indians waiting to slay him when he got closer?
26520Torment me, will you?
26520Understand?"
26520Understand?"
26520Wallop me good an''plenty, you said, did n''t you?
26520Was he to escape scot free?
26520Was he to go to the room after June and bring her to supper?
26520Was he, too, waiting to get a shot at the bandits?
26520Was it money-- hush money?
26520Was it possible that Jake Houck had something on Tolliver, that he was using his knowledge to force June into a marriage with him?
26520Was it possible that he had been on sentry duty only twelve minutes?
26520Was it possible that his friends had been driven off?
26520Was it the cold, close- set eyes, the crook of the large nose, or the tight- lipped mouth gave the fellow that semblance to a rapacious wolf?
26520Was that it?"
26520Was there menace in his coming?
26520Was there really a chance for him to reverse the verdict?
26520Was you lookin''for some other lady to send for you?"
26520Well, what''s it to be?"
26520What advice could he give?
26520What are you trying to pull off?"
26520What claim had Dud to mix into his difficulties with Bandy?
26520What claim you got to be remembered by that li''l''girl?
26520What could he do if she wanted to give him up?
26520What could he say to comfort his friend?
26520What could she do?
26520What d''you want us to do with this bird?"
26520What did Houck mean to do?
26520What did Jake want?
26520What did she know about him?
26520What did this young fellow mean?
26520What do you know?"
26520What for?
26520What had become of him?
26520What had come over her?
26520What impulse or purpose had brought her out into the night in his wake?
26520What in the world was he to do with June?
26520What manner of girl was this who could shave disaster in such a reckless fashion and actually enjoy it?
26520What manner of man had she married?
26520What right you got wishin''He had n''t created you?
26520What was he doing here in her room?
26520What was it he liked about her?
26520What was the matter with these fellows anyhow?
26520What was the relation between them?
26520What was the use of opposing one who laughed at her heroics and ignored the peril of his position?
26520What was the use of trying?
26520What was they doing?
26520What would he do now?
26520What''d be the use?
26520What''s ailin''you, Texas man?
26520What''s he done?"
26520What''s new in Bear Cat?"
26520What''s the idee?"
26520What''s the use of crying your own goods down?
26520What''s the use of fighting?
26520What''s yore reason?"
26520What''s yore rush?"
26520When folks were friends they helped each other, did n''t they?
26520When it comes to a woman I say, Where''s the man?"
26520When?"
26520Where could he take her for the night?
26520Where did you get that?
26520Where was Jake Houck?
26520Where was they, I ask?
26520Where would we go-- afterward?"
26520Where you headed for?"
26520Where''ll I find work?"
26520Where''ll he take her?"
26520Where?
26520Who is he?"
26520Who pays for the drinks?"
26520Who was he?
26520Who was this stranger who had swaggered into her life and announced himself its lord and master?
26520Why could n''t they let him alone?
26520Why did Jake Houck tell me to ask you about him?"
26520Why did her father fear this big dominating fellow?
26520Why did his very presence bring with it a message of alarm?
26520Why did n''t you take a fall outa him?
26520Why do n''t a fellow ever know when he''s well off?
26520Why do n''t you go out an''help me find the girl?
26520Why do n''t you like him?"
26520Why had he not shot the fellow?
26520Why had she come to find him?
26520Why not?
26520Why was it that of two men one had stamina to go through regardless of the strain while another went to pieces and made a spectacle of himself?
26520Why, at least, had he not fought?
26520Why, then, would she be with him, laughing lightly and talking with animation?
26520Why, you li''l''spitfire, ca n''t you see as Jake Houck''s wife you get a chance to live?
26520Why?
26520Will he cry like a pappoose?"
26520Will you take it now?"
26520Would he quit?
26520Would he throw down on him and kill?
26520Would one of his enemies shoot him in the back?
26520Would she be able to please him?
26520Would they finish by scalping their hosts, as Dud had suggested early in the evening?
26520You comin'', Bob?"
26520You forgot he carried two forty- fives and would use them, did n''t you?"
26520You got it started?
26520You heeled?"
26520You licked?"
26520You spoke of it to her?"
26520You want to thank''em, do n''t you?"
26520You would n''t say this track was made by the same man as this one, would you?"
26520You''ll understand, wo n''t you?
26520You''re plumb glad to see me again, ai n''t you?
26520from you before I say''Good- mawnin''to her?"
35071A''tin cow'',repeated Tubby wonderingly;"whatever is that?"
35071All right?
35071All you have to do now is to obey, and obey pronto-- see? 35071 Any one see him since?"
35071Any what?
35071Are they going to send a pony?
35071Are you going to have Jack arrested?
35071Are you near the ledge, Tubby?
35071Are you scared?
35071Beans?
35071Borrow them?
35071Bring him down, you mean?
35071But can the Indians read English writing?
35071But how about you? 35071 But how?"
35071But seriously, Harry, could we get enough fellows out here to form a patrol?
35071But supposing they follow us?
35071But the tracks of the big bear?
35071But why should he do this?
35071But will you?
35071Call this water?
35071Can he, do you think?
35071Can you grip the edge with your fingers, Tubby?
35071Could n''t what?
35071Did you ever see a snake dance?
35071Did you give the alarm to the rest of the boys?
35071Do they eat them?
35071Do you think he heard what we were talking about?
35071Do you want to kill the ponies?
35071Get away from me, ca n''t you?
35071Going to dig potatoes?
35071Gone?
35071Great hookey-- what''s that?
35071Has he much of a reputation?
35071Has n''t he left a trail?
35071Has-- has he news of Rob?
35071Have we all got revolvers?
35071Have you seen anything of any Moquis hereabout?
35071He ought to be here in a couple of hours, then?
35071He-- he had news?
35071Help you out-- how?
35071Hey, what''s the matter with you fellows, anyhow? 35071 How about the others?"
35071How about work, cook- ee?
35071How about you, Rob?
35071How are you making out, Tubby?
35071How can we tell when we get to the place?
35071How can?
35071How do you know?
35071How do you make that out?
35071How do you make that out?
35071How do you mean?
35071How far do you guess it is from the entrance?
35071How far do you think they will have proceeded by this time?
35071How far is Red Flat from here?
35071How is that?
35071How much?
35071How''s that?
35071How''s that?
35071How''s that?
35071How''s that?
35071How''s your nerve, Tubby?
35071Huh?
35071Hullo, Tubby!--below there-- are you all right?
35071Hullo, what''s the matter with Ranger?
35071Hullo, what''s up now?
35071I wonder if Bill Bender and Hank Handcraft are with him?
35071I wonder if starving men in cities ever feel like this?
35071I wonder if that last sneeze of mine killed it?
35071I wonder what you''d have done if it had been a real Indian?
35071I''ll have to, wo n''t I?
35071I''ve read about them,said Rob;"they do all kinds of weird things with rattlesnakes, do n''t they?"
35071Indian?
35071Indians?
35071Is Ranger seriously hurt?
35071Is he in danger?
35071Is he in trouble?
35071Is it near you, now, Tubby?
35071Is that so? 35071 Is that so?"
35071It''s all we can do, is n''t it?
35071Let up a minute, will you, and give me a chance? 35071 Maybe I''ve seen you in the show some place?"
35071No, how can I prove that it was he who shoved me in? 35071 No, why should they?
35071Not likely to, Tubby-- but why so earnest?
35071Now what are they going to do?
35071Now will my brothers listen to the voice of reason?
35071Now, shall we shoot, Clark?
35071Now, what is it, Tubby?
35071Now,said Mr. Mayberry,"tell me how you came to be where I found you?"
35071Off there-- what is it?
35071Oh, I guess you think you''re a mighty fine gentleman?
35071Oh, Tubby, is that really you?
35071Oh, in Boston, you mean?
35071Oh, it was n''t, eh?
35071Oh, that''s it, is it?
35071Oh, that''s the game, is it?
35071Oh, where''s the earth?
35071Put me in as a commissariat officer, will you?
35071Ready for the signal yet, Rob?
35071Remember the last stampede, when Grizzly Sam was trampled?
35071Say, Rob, do n''t ever do anything like that again, will you?
35071Say, Rob, how about a light?
35071Say, Rob, who do you think is in the next room?
35071Say, Susyjan,broke out Rob presently,"how you like to have lots of beads-- fine ones, like white ladies wear?"
35071Say, ca n''t you fellows play ball without a big league collection of stuff?
35071Say, did you hear the name of that cook?
35071Say, hold your tongue for once, ca n''t you?
35071Say, is that meant for a joke? 35071 Say, lots of folks would pay money to see this, would n''t they?"
35071Say, stranger,he asked eagerly,"will you teach me that thar contraption?"
35071Say, what is this-- Tag Day?
35071Say, what''s the twenty- five cents extra all round for?
35071Say,he said,"are you fellows cattlemen?"
35071Say,put in Tubby gloomily, as they set out,"what''s the good of taking guns with us?"
35071See them eating rattlers, eh?
35071So that''s the noble red man, is it?
35071So you''ve been East?
35071Sort of hanger- on in that gambling place, is n''t he?
35071Team,briefly grunted the landlord,"did I hear you fellers say you was waiting for some one from the Harkness range?"
35071The Indians took them?
35071Then nobody knows where he is?
35071Then what are we to do? 35071 Then you wo n''t help us?"
35071Want a bronc, or something more on the rocking- horse style?
35071Was that an Indian?
35071We can trust you, Jack?
35071Well, Clark,he said rather sternly,"what are you doing here?"
35071Well, I can if I want to, ca n''t I?
35071Well, Jack,said one of the voices, evidently resuming a conversation that had been begun some time previously,"so you did the kid up, eh?"
35071Well, Pete, what is it?
35071Well, that''s the best information I can give you,said Harry,"but what have you been doing to your eye?"
35071Well, there''s no doubt that you were shoved over intentionally,decided Harry Harkness,"but who is there out here who would do such a thing?"
35071Well, what are we going to do?
35071Well, what are we to do?
35071Well, what do you make of it?
35071Well, what do you want to do with me?
35071Well, what if we do know him?
35071Well, why not?
35071Well,asked Rob, while Harry Harkness skillfully skinned the lion,"shall we go on or turn back?"
35071Well?
35071Were they in time?
35071Wh- o is it?
35071What are you going to do?
35071What are you going to do?
35071What are you kicking at?
35071What brings you here? 35071 What did they want the money for?"
35071What did you like best in the East, Susyjan?
35071What do you mean?
35071What do you mean?
35071What do you want?
35071What for?
35071What have they got me here for, Susyjan,--you know?
35071What is it?
35071What parted?
35071What that?
35071What yer got the extra saddle for, then, and what''s he got on spurs for, just ter decorate his handsome figure?
35071What yer ridin''two on one pony for?
35071What you want Moquis to do?
35071What''ll we do?
35071What''s all the joke,--what is it?
35071What''s that about a key?
35071What''s the matter with climbing that cliff and exploring those old cave dwellings?
35071What''s the matter with him?
35071What''s the matter?
35071What''s the matter?
35071What''s''mucho malo''?
35071What, Clark Jennings?
35071What, Jess?
35071What, he fired at you?
35071What, the pip?
35071What, without the candle? 35071 What?"
35071Whatever are you doing that for?
35071Whatever can he be doing out here?
35071Whatever is the matter with him?
35071When are you going after them?
35071When are you going to start for the peak?
35071Where are the mitts?
35071Where has Black Cloud gone, to join the snake dance?
35071Where on earth am I?
35071Where''s the ball?
35071Where''s the bat?
35071Where?
35071Whereabouts did the Injuns cut into you, Harry?
35071Which way I go?
35071Which way?
35071White boys go to mountains?
35071White boys got money?
35071Who are you?
35071Who could we get to join, coyotes, rattlers, and jack- rabbits?
35071Who is it?
35071Who is it?
35071Who is it?
35071Who saw him last?
35071Who''s there?
35071Who?
35071Why are n''t those mules hitched?
35071Why did n''t you have sense enough to keep him?
35071Why did you let him get up?
35071Why not form a patrol out here? 35071 Why not what?"
35071Why not?
35071Why, Tubby, wherever have you been?
35071Why, do you think he''s lost hereabouts?
35071Why, hello, Clark, you in town, too? 35071 Why, yes, you can have White Eye, and what kind of stock does your friends fancy?"
35071Why?
35071Why?
35071With beans, sir?
35071Wo n''t you send somebody back with me, sir? 35071 Wonder what we''ll do if Harkness hits our trail?"
35071Yes, but who?
35071Yes, if----"Well, if what?
35071Yes, yes; but do you think he overheard?
35071Yes-- Soapy Sam; what of it?
35071You do n''t think, then, there is a chance of our finding him?
35071You know about him, then?
35071You mean that sort of trampling sound?
35071You mean that we may still hear some news of him?
35071You think he is alive, then?
35071You think that old Harkness is suspicious, then?
35071You want talk?
35071You?
35071_ Where did you get Rob Blake''s sombrero?_His eye had fallen on that article of headgear just as Hank had clumsily tried to conceal it.
35071And you say you know this cousin of his from the East, and his companions?"
35071Anything else you''d like to know?"
35071Are n''t we going back?"
35071Are you all right?"
35071Are you going to give me that chair?"
35071But how about you?"
35071But what do you suppose they carried off the poor boy for?"
35071Come to buy a plow, or a shotgun to manage those''babies''of yours?"
35071Could it be possible that the advance guard of the Indians had approached him so nearly?
35071Could they mean to thrust him into that?
35071Could they stop the advance in time to save themselves from a terrible death?
35071Did Silver Tip recognize the lad?
35071Do you suppose Easterners are born or jest grow?"
35071Eh, Jose?"
35071Have n''t you fellows got over harping on that yet?"
35071Have you got some good ones caught up?"
35071Having a game up there?
35071How about you, Merritt?"
35071How does that sound?"
35071How was I to know they''d have an army out?"
35071How will that suit you?"
35071How''s Bill and Hank making out?"
35071How''s this for a ball?"
35071If so, where is the chart that goes with it?"
35071Jennings will have quite a force, and how are we to oppose him?"
35071Look at the tenderfoot''s medal,"chuckled one of the young cattlemen;"wonder what it''s for?"
35071Make our way through that dark place?"
35071Nor did Jess smooth over matters by remarking audibly:"Say, Clark, what was the matter with you?"
35071Now, if we had their code book we----""What, the Indians have a code book?"
35071Pretty weak, ai n''t you, for a boy who wanted to fight grizzlies with his bare hands?"
35071Round neck-- savee?"
35071Say, Clark, what if-- what if he did hear?"
35071Say, what do you want to do-- brain us?"
35071So you like beads, eh?"
35071The Boy Scouts use the Morse, do n''t they?"
35071The emperor of China?"
35071The question now is, shall we follow them up, or shall we go back and get the ponies, and thus lose valuable time?
35071Think you can do it?"
35071To his intense joy, however, in reply to his hail there came up a cheerful:"Say, what are you fellows doing?
35071WHAT BECAME OF THE SCOUT?
35071WHAT BECAME OF THE SCOUT?
35071Want to use the talk box, eh?"
35071Well, the Indians paid us their little call just this side of the Salt Licks,--why?"
35071What adventurous boys would not have leaped at the invitation?
35071What became of Silver Tip?
35071What can it be?
35071What has happened?"
35071What has that to do with it?"
35071What is it-- the Indians?"
35071What was he to do?
35071What we want to know now is if they have seen Rob?"
35071What''s that?
35071What''s the luck?
35071What''s the matter?"
35071Who can tell?
35071Who so fit to solve it as a band of adventurous Boy Scouts?
35071Why did n''t you hit him a good crack on the head while you were about it?"
35071Why, how?"
35071Why?"
35071Wo n''t you get into trouble over it?
35071You calmly propose that we shall walk back through a dark tunnel, with Heaven knows how many Indians at our heels?"
35071You know, Cousin Bill has turned out to be quite a cow- puncher; guess he rode horses back East?"
35071You''ve been moving about?"
35071am I going to play out?"
35071gasped Rob,"is the tree beginning to give?"
35071m.?"
35071snarled Clark irritably, facing round on his well- meaning crony,"why did n''t you help me out?"
35071three dollars and seventy- five cents for that fly- ridden stuff?"
35071you have been robbed by them?"
41802Adam, are you thar?
41802Ah, my young cub, are you thar?
41802Am I asleep now?
41802And never let me go home again, but keep me here always?
41802Archie is in here; but now that I have found him, how am I going to get him out? 41802 Archie, you do crawl out of little holes when you are cornered, do n''t you?
41802Are you goin''to set thar an''take a banter like that, an''from an Injun, too? 41802 Are you sure that you can depend upon that man?"
41802But suppose they do attack us? 41802 But the question is, Shall we use it, now that we have found it?
41802But what do you intend to do with me?
41802But what does he want to do with me? 41802 But, Dick, does Captain Porter know that these Indians have suddenly turned hostile?"
41802Dick, is that really you?
41802Did n''t I tell you that you had better keep close? 41802 Did n''t they tell us at Fort Alexander that there was n''t a hostile Indian on the plains?"
41802Did you hear what I said, youngster?
41802Did you recognize Bob when he was playing the part of medicine- man?
41802Do n''t you believe you can untie them with your teeth, Frank? 41802 Do n''t you get tired of staying about the house all the time?"
41802Do n''t you think my plan was the best? 41802 Do you hear what_ I_ say?"
41802Do you suppose I could ever find a horse that would suit me as well as King James?
41802Haint we follered their trail all the way, an''did we see any signs of Dick and Bob? 41802 Haint you?"
41802He is rather larger than those we used to catch about Lawrence, is n''t he?
41802How came he here?
41802How did you get so badly hurt?
41802How did you obtain possession of that disguise?
41802How do you know?
41802How would you like to have him prowling about your bed if you were sick? 41802 I axed you do you know where Adam Brent sleeps?"
41802I do n''t reckon you can help yourself, can you?
41802I guess I ought to know what my name is, had n''t I?
41802I reckon that''s my business, ai nt it? 41802 I say, youngster,"said a cheery, familiar voice, close at his elbow,"you''ve got a few things to larn yet, haint you?
41802I suppose he is my uncle,answered Adam;"but he does n''t act like it, does he?
41802I suppose you thought I was caught, did n''t you?
41802If I could see them for just one minute, would n''t these savages meet with a warm reception when they make the attack on the fort? 41802 Is he about here?
41802Is there any one here who can spare me a horse and rifle?
41802It looks like a slim chance, does n''t it?
41802It''s him, ai nt it, Bill?
41802Must we give up the idea of sleeping in the cave?
41802Oh, do n''t I wish that my hands were unbound, and that I could have the free use of my knife for just one minute?
41802Oh, why does n''t he wake up and do something?
41802Thar were''leven men in his party, when me an''ole Bob first diskivered''em, an''now you do n''t see but four, do you? 41802 The cave must be a mile or two below, is n''t it?"
41802Then Archie will be safe, wo n''t he?
41802Then why do n''t you start-- why do n''t you obey orders?
41802Things are comin''out all right at last, ai nt they?
41802Wal, I reckon I knowed that much afore you told me; but what part of the house?
41802Wal,exclaimed the outlaw, as the boys sprang across the brook,"seen any thing wuth lookin''at?
41802Was n''t that well done?
41802We have seen some stirring times during our short acquaintance, and you will not be likely to forgot us soon, will you?
41802Well, what are you doing here?
41802What are you going to do with those pistols?
41802What business had you to go roamin''off alone in the mountains, arter I had told you to keep your eyes open fur these Injuns? 41802 What do you want with me?"
41802What do you want?
41802What had those people at the fort done to you, that you wanted to kill them? 41802 What''s that?"
41802What''s the matter out there?
41802What''s the matter out there?
41802What''s the matter?
41802What''s up here, any how?
41802Where are we?
41802Where are you going?
41802Where is Fort Benton, and why should we go there? 41802 Where is he now?"
41802Where is he?
41802Where''s the boy that fit that ar Greaser?
41802Where''s your horse and your gun? 41802 Which side whipped?"
41802Who are you, anyhow, and what business have you to take me away from my friends?
41802Who axed you fur any advice?
41802Who axed you to leave him? 41802 Who knows but that they have captured Adam?"
41802Who''s that?
41802Who''s the Black Fox?
41802Who-- Mike? 41802 Who-- that spunky little feller?
41802Why ca n''t you go with me?
41802Why did n''t you stay away about five minutes longer? 41802 Why do n''t you give a fellow a fair chance?
41802Why do n''t you go on?
41802Why, what''s the matter with you? 41802 Wo n''t he have a glorious time among the bears and panthers?
41802You have found out by this time that the boy you captured last night was not Adam Brent, have n''t you?
41802You no come?
41802You said I could n''t keep you pris''ner, did n''t you?
41802You surely do n''t expect trouble with them?
41802You will let me go with you?
41802You''re a purty feller, to lead wild Injuns agin peaceable tradin''-posts, an''then when you''re ketched ask fur quarter, ai nt you?
41802''Member me, do n''t you?
41802A few hours ago there were not more than a hundred in the band; now there must be five times as many, and the braves are all in war- paint, too?
41802Ai nt I a nice lookin''uncle?"
41802And is n''t that Pete?
41802Besides, we are completely lost, and how could we tell whether or not he was guiding us to the fort?
41802But how will they find it out unless I carry them the information; and how can I effect my escape, surrounded as I am by enemies?"
41802By the way, is this man what he claims to be?"
41802Can it be possible that that race and wrestling match have any thing to do with my capture?
41802Did n''t diskiver none of my mates hangin''around in the bushes, did you?"
41802Did n''t he play his part well?
41802Did you see Bob Kelly?"
41802Do n''t I know that nose of your''n, an''that har, an''that black face?
41802Do you dream that you see those marks on them?
41802Do you see any thing?"
41802Do you see that feller standin''over thar?"
41802Do you suppose that Black Bill and his friends are in pursuit of us?"
41802Do you take me for a lunatic, or are you crazy yourself?"
41802Had his rival been calling for assistance?
41802He seized me by the collar, and greeted me with:"''Who are you, boy?
41802He was in close proximity to a dangerous enemy, and how was he to elude him?
41802Hear me, do n''t you?"
41802How should he know it when he saw it?
41802How would I feel to go back to our hunting and fishing grounds about Lawrence, and know that he was kept a prisoner among these savages?
41802How would you like to see me tied to the stake, or runnin''the gauntlet?"
41802I haint been fooled in you, have I?
41802I reckon you''re a little out of practice, ai nt you?
41802If Dick an''Bob are in the cave, why do n''t they speak?"
41802If I only had my rifle, would n''t I show him something?"
41802Is n''t he splendid, Dick?"
41802Is there any clothing in here?"
41802Now, where''s Frank, I wonder?
41802See them shoe- prints on the bank of the brook?
41802The deer is dead enough, but what good will he do me as long as he lies at the bottom of the gully?"
41802The first savage who came down the tree was easily overpowered; and when his companion called out:"Do you see any thing of the white man?"
41802They looked at him closely for a moment, and then one of them said to his companions:"That''s him, ai nt it?"
41802This ai nt the fust time you''ve been fooled to- night, is it?
41802To whom are you making signals?"
41802Was he destitute of nerves entirely, that he could stand there and view all these preparations so calmly?
41802Was it not fortunate for him that he had camped before reaching the gully?
41802Well, what do you want?"
41802What could have induced them to change their camp so suddenly, any how?
41802What do you want with Adam?
41802What do you want, any how?"
41802What in the world was that?"
41802What is he going to do, I wonder?"
41802What is his object in taking me prisoner?"
41802What is that noise?"
41802What shall we do with our prisoner?"
41802What was he doing so far from camp?"
41802What would become of him?
41802What would become of his cousin, of the trappers, of Captain Porter, and of himself?
41802What would they do to him if they caught him prowling around?
41802What''s to be done now?"
41802What''s up now?"
41802What''s your name?''
41802Where did he get this disguise, I wonder; and how is he going to escape from that lodge?
41802Where does he sleep?"
41802Where is Bob, that he do n''t bring the trappers up here and attack these Indians?"
41802Who turned you loose?"
41802Why do n''t he select some Indian boy?"
41802Why do n''t you obey orders?
41802Why do you ask that question?"
41802Would n''t I give something if I could run like that?
41802Would they ever succeed in reaching the fort?
41802You ai nt agoin''back on me, are you?
41802You ai nt agoin''to deny it?
41802You are not afraid to go?"
41802You have heard Dick and Bob speak of the Old Bear''s Hole, have n''t you?
41802You were trying to escape, were you?
41802You''re here arter all, haint you?"
41802and what are you doing out here alone in the mountains, at this time of night?"
41802he exclaimed, as if he had just awakened from a sound sleep;"who''s that?
41802he exclaimed,"is there any water about here?"
41802he exclaimed,"what''s all this yere?
26911A message?
26911Ai n''t I to go with you? 26911 Ai n''t he the gamest ever?"
26911Ai n''t she the gamest little thoroughbred ever?
26911Ai n''t you as good a guesser as I am, Curly?
26911And because you wo n''t be Soapy Stone''s friend?
26911And did he promise to take you back home after our talk?
26911And so he wants to hurt you through him?
26911And then? 26911 And then?"
26911And then?
26911And what has my father to do with that?
26911And what if he ai n''t here?
26911And what you aiming to do with it?
26911And who was the notary that witnessed it?
26911And you have n''t seen her since?
26911And you say he swore to get even?
26911And you think Luck would do a fool thing like this?
26911And you''re a rustler?
26911Anyone see him give it to you, Alec?
26911Anything in the by- laws about me inviting myself in?
26911Anything in them about you meeting one of the lads from the horse ranch up on the hillside where it is neutral ground?
26911Anything strange about that? 26911 Anything you want in particular, Lieutenant?"
26911Are we all friends of Soapy Stone and Bad Bill? 26911 Are you Mr. Soapy Stone''s friend, the one just down from Dead Cow creek?"
26911Are you aiming to sit down and wait for him?
26911Are you expecting to stop in the hills long-- or just visiting?
26911Are you in this, Bucky?
26911Are you picking me for that responsible friend who is to be such a powerful influence for good?
26911Are you right sure Cullison ca n''t be found?
26911Are you right sure he ai n''t at home attending to his business?
26911Are you this man mentioned here? 26911 Banked it yet?"
26911Because of Blackwell?
26911Because you are Sam''s friend?
26911Begun what?
26911Blackwell told you that, did he?
26911Blackwell''s way-- the Devil''s Slide?
26911Blonde or brunette?
26911Both gray hats?
26911Boy, do n''t you see? 26911 But he did n''t claim to recognize the hold- up?"
26911But how could he know we would see the paper, and if we did see it would understand?
26911But why?
26911Ca n''t you tell it here?
26911Came pretty near losing him out of the cast, did n''t we?
26911Can you prove it?
26911Can you tell me how it is a man can get fond of so Godforsaken a country? 26911 Cards?"
26911Cass Fendrick?
26911Close enough to speak to her?
26911Confessed that I did it?
26911Confidentially what?
26911Confidentially?
26911Could he tell you any good about me? 26911 Cullison then?"
26911Curly, want to ride up to the hotel and ask if Mr. Dave Warren is there? 26911 Dead sure?"
26911Did Father hesitate at all about which one to take?
26911Did Sam come with you?
26911Did n''t I tell you to keep away from the Bar 99--you and your whole cursed outfit?
26911Did she say she knew me?
26911Do I know the lady?
26911Do n''t I get anything to eat?
26911Do n''t you see?
26911Do n''t you think we''d better let Uncle Alec find out? 26911 Do you know him?"
26911Do you make it out?
26911Do you mean that he-- that he may not get well?
26911Do you mean that she is going to let my father be killed rather than tell what she knows?
26911Do you mean the hold- up of the Limited at Tin Cup?
26911Do you reckon I have forgot how a girl took a rope from my neck one night? 26911 Do you think so?"
26911Does look that way, does n''t it?
26911Does n''t he?
26911Does that prove I did it myself?
26911Drive all the way from the Bar Double M?
26911Enough?
26911Ever hear the story of French Dan?
26911Ever meet a lad called Sam Cullison?
26911Ever see this before?
26911Feeling like a fighting cock, are you? 26911 Fendrick?"
26911Find friend Cullison in tolerable health?
26911For what?
26911Get these from Luck?
26911God, man, you do n''t think I''m in this, do you?
26911Going to prove up soon on that Del Oro claim of yours, Luck?
26911Going where? 26911 Got a clew, have you?"
26911Got to tell you, have I?
26911Had any talk with Slats?
26911Had enough?
26911Happen to know whether Dick Maloney is here for the show?
26911Has he come back?
26911Has yours an L. C. stamped in the sweat band?
26911Have n''t you a mind of your own, Jake?
26911Have n''t you forgotten that little piece in the_ Sentinel_? 26911 Have n''t you sense enough ever to be serious, Curly?
26911Have they-- has anything been----?
26911Have to take the afternoon train then?
26911Have we got a chance to make our getaway?
26911Have you evidence enough to cinch him?
26911Have you heard anything from dad?
26911Have you heard something?
26911Have you heard? 26911 Have you seen Sam yet?"
26911Have you seen the_ Sentinel_? 26911 He brought you, did he?"
26911He didn''t-- mistreat you?
26911He''s your prisoner, is he?
26911Hit bad, Bill?
26911How about Cullison?
26911How about bail?
26911How about that, Alec?
26911How about warning Sam?
26911How are you going to prevent it, Cass?
26911How came he with a Saguache paper if he''s been to Mesa?
26911How can I when I''m under arrest?
26911How come you here? 26911 How could it be?"
26911How did I guess it? 26911 How did he know there was money coming in last night?"
26911How did you guess? 26911 How do I know it?"
26911How do you know he is being taken there?
26911How do you know?
26911How do you mean?
26911How do you mean?
26911How do you mean?
26911How far?
26911How is Cullison?
26911How is dad?
26911How long have you been there?
26911How many would have remembered that? 26911 How much?"
26911How should I know who''s staying at Stone''s?
26911How would this do for an explanation?
26911How''re they coming this glad mo''ning, son?
26911How''s the villain in the play this mo''ning?
26911How?
26911How?
26911I get a stay of execution, do I?
26911I saw you at Mesa in the bucking broncho doings last year, did n''t I?
26911I see you are wearing your gray hat again? 26911 I would know, would n''t I?
26911If the men bought the stock why did n''t they stop and explain?
26911If we could only have Fendrick arrested--"What good would that do? 26911 In bills?"
26911Is Soapy that kind?
26911Is he-- how is he doing?
26911Is n''t it good?
26911Is that all? 26911 Is that all?"
26911Is that why you''re doing it?
26911Is this Miss Cullison?
26911Is-- is there anything new?
26911It''s work for a man, is n''t it? 26911 Jealous, is he?"
26911Make anything out of it?
26911Make their getaway?
26911May I come too?
26911May I use your''phone?
26911Mean to say you have n''t heard of the hold- up of the W.& S. Express Company at Saguache?
26911Meaning for instance?
26911Meaning that the Flyer does n''t stop?
26911Meaning that, are you?
26911Meaning you wo n''t tell?
26911Meaning-- the girl?
26911Meaning?
26911Mind if I look for the others?
26911Miss Kate there too?
26911Most as good as a play of the movies, ai n''t it? 26911 My father?"
26911Never heard Stone speak of Sam Cullison?
26911Never saw him with Soapy Stone?
26911No?
26911Object to us seeing your hand?
26911On his way to town now?
26911Or that I do n''t remember how the man I had shot went bail for a rustler he did not know?
26911Out again, eh, Blackwell?
26911Pretty low- down trick, was n''t it, to play on an innocent man?
26911Price of sheep good this week?
26911Read about the hold- up of the W.& S. Express? 26911 Reckon he knows anything?"
26911Sam Cullison?
26911Says that, does she-- that she overheard us plotting?
26911Seen anything of a railroad folder? 26911 Shall we take him to the house?"
26911Shot him, or----?
26911So the boys are a little excited, are they?
26911So you and him are thick, are you?
26911So you know my name?
26911So you''re back here again, are you?
26911So you''re going to take it out of me, are you?
26911So?
26911Sure about that, Cass?
26911Sure it was signed to- day? 26911 Sure the signature to the relinquishment was genuine?"
26911That a paper sticking out of your pocket?
26911That you, Curly? 26911 That''s all very well, but what about Mr. Flandrau?
26911That''s it, is it? 26911 That''s to be my pay for giving Master Sam his billy doo, is it?"
26911That''s what the paper says, do n''t it?
26911That''s what you think, is it? 26911 That''s what?"
26911The man that made the raid of the W.& S. shaped up like Luck, you say?
26911The old man sent you to tell me that, did he?
26911Then how did he get out?
26911Then where is she? 26911 Then where''s he taking her?"
26911Then you know where Luck is?
26911Then you wo n''t hurt him? 26911 Then you wo n''t hurt this man, our prisoner?"
26911Then you''ll not arrest Fendrick?
26911There''s only one thing you can talk to me about Where have you hidden my father?
26911They could n''t prove a thing, could they?
26911Thinking of buying me out?
26911Was he? 26911 Was n''t it enough?"
26911Was that the news from the horse ranch?
26911Was that why you did it?
26911Well, do you?
26911Well, what have you decided?
26911Well, you know what is right, do n''t you?
26911Well? 26911 Well?"
26911Well?
26911Well?
26911Were their hats side by side like that on adjoining pegs?
26911What about him?
26911What about him?
26911What about the boss?
26911What about the kid?
26911What about this hat, with the two holes shot through the rim?
26911What about young Cullison? 26911 What are your plans?
26911What can we do for you? 26911 What did you do with it?"
26911What do I get for bringing good news?
26911What do you care about that? 26911 What do you mean by that?"
26911What do you mean? 26911 What do you mean?"
26911What do you reckon it means?
26911What do you think? 26911 What do you want with Sam Cullison?
26911What does Sheriff Bolt think?
26911What does this tommyrot mean?
26911What for?
26911What for?
26911What for?
26911What gent are you wig- wagging to now?
26911What good would that do?
26911What had he done?
26911What have you done with my father?
26911What have you got to do with this?
26911What if you did? 26911 What in Mexico is the good of a county road there, Luck?
26911What in Mexico you got there?
26911What is he doing here with a woman?
26911What is it they are saying about dad? 26911 What is it, Kate?
26911What is it? 26911 What is it?"
26911What is it?
26911What is it?
26911What makes you think that, Nick?
26911What nonsense are you saying about my father?
26911What sort of a reputation has he got?
26911What sort of trouble is he leading Sam into?
26911What you want me for?
26911What''s eatin''you? 26911 What''s it mean anyhow?
26911What''s on my head?
26911What''s so condemned funny?
26911What''s the use of saying that when we know you do? 26911 What''s the use of talking foolishness, Luck?
26911What''s the use? 26911 What''s the use?"
26911What''s up, Mac?
26911What''s up, Sam? 26911 What''s up?"
26911What''s your evidence, Bucky? 26911 What----what----?"
26911Where did you find it?
26911Where is Father? 26911 Where is he?"
26911Where is it anyhow? 26911 Where is that paper you want me to sign?"
26911Where''s Uncle Luck, sis? 26911 Who do you mean, Nick?"
26911Who in Mexico are you?
26911Who is the man?
26911Who said anything about Sam?
26911Who was the man that shot the robber?
26911Who was the man, Cass?
26911Who-- Blackwell?
26911Who?
26911Who?
26911Why did she come up here to cook them?
26911Why do men do such things?
26911Why do n''t you take a snooze? 26911 Why do you ask?"
26911Why do you do it? 26911 Why, that hat play, Cass?
26911Why?
26911Will I? 26911 Will he----?"
26911Will you have another egg?
26911Will you tell now?
26911Wo n''t Dutch tell about Sam being in it?
26911Would it be throwing him down to go back to your people?
26911Would n''t it be nice if----?
26911Yes which?
26911Yes, but did they put him out of business? 26911 Yes?"
26911Yes?
26911You honing to go bail for him, Dick?
26911You know how that is, do you?
26911You mean this''Bad Bill''?
26911You mean----?
26911You still sheriff, Mr. Cullison? 26911 You still with the Hashknife?"
26911You thinking of Fendrick?
26911You wo n''t change your mind?
26911You wo n''t try to light out, will you?
26911You would never guess, would you, that him and me had raised that crop in couples?
26911You would, eh? 26911 You''re looking for him, are you?"
26911You''ve got lots of respect for his orders, have n''t you?
26911You_ have_ changed your mind, have n''t you, Jake?
26911Your witness got a name, Bucky?
26911A friend of yours?"
26911Ai n''t he dying fast enough to suit you?"
26911Ai n''t he had two hours to get here since he left Tin Cup?"
26911Ai n''t it likely too that he would be sorry for what he did while he was angry at your father for butting in as he was having trouble with his wife?
26911Ai n''t you off your run some?"
26911Am I more like a rustler than a deputy sheriff?
26911And after he had said he was sorry why should n''t I hit the road out of there?
26911And now you''ve identified me sufficient, how about that ticket?"
26911And suppose your fairy tale of the Jack of Hearts is true, could n''t I have swapped hats again while he lay there unconscious?"
26911Any law against laughing?"
26911Anything particular, or just a pleasant social call?"
26911Are you a rustler?"
26911Are you friendly to him?
26911Are you going to give me my handkerchief?"
26911Are you going to sign this relinquishment?"
26911Are you with me, Uncle Alec?"
26911Are_ you_ friendly to him?
26911At Saguache?"
26911Because----?"
26911Bolt?"
26911But how do you act?
26911But how was I to know whether you meant it unless I came back to see?"
26911But what''s the matter with your face?
26911But what''s the use?
26911But why did she?
26911But why?
26911By the way, has it ever occurred to you gentlemen that one ca n''t be convicted on the testimony of a single accomplice?"
26911By the way, what was the date when the relinquishment was signed?"
26911CHAPTER V"AIN''T SHE THE GAMEST LITTLE THOROUGHBRED?"
26911Ca n''t I tell you are a man?
26911Ca n''t he make a fight for himself?"
26911Can I come this evening, say?"
26911Can we depend on your deputies?"
26911Can you cash a check for a hundred?"
26911Can you tell me how to get to Soapy Stone''s horse ranch from here, Miss London?"
26911Can you tell me where I can find a paroled convict named Blackwell?"
26911Coming down to the hotel?"
26911Could he say anything except that I was a worthless no-''count----?"
26911Could n''t it have been ante- dated?"
26911Could this little store, the Jack of Hearts, be the central point of the mystery?
26911Curly grew enthusiastic,"Ai n''t she the dandiest girl ever?
26911Damn you, do n''t you see you''re driving me too far?"
26911Did Sam and Blackwell go with him?"
26911Did a mule kick you?"
26911Did n''t I promise Bolt you would show up?"
26911Did n''t Luck Cullison go into the hills and bring him down all alone?"
26911Did n''t guns pop enough?
26911Did n''t you hear him yelp?"
26911Did n''t you meet Curly?"
26911Did you escape?"
26911Did you ever see the boy that sat for that picture?"
26911Did you get him?"
26911Did you just come down from the horse ranch?"
26911Do n''t we want to think different from them?"
26911Do n''t you believe it?
26911Do n''t you owe her something for that?
26911Do n''t you see I''ll be a drag to you?
26911Do n''t you see I''m just taking a nap?"
26911Do n''t you see you''re hurting his bad arm?"
26911Do they all steal it?"
26911Do we all rustle stock and shoot up good citizens?"
26911Do you figure you can identify this one, Miss Cullison?
26911Do you know his friends-- the bunch he trails with?"
26911Do you know in what restaurant she works?"
26911Do you mind staying here with this man till I get back?"
26911Do you reckon I ever forget that?"
26911Do you think we''ll let you come over into this county and dictate everything we do?"
26911Does that explain why he dug up good money to turn loose a horse thief?"
26911Ever hold up a train?"
26911Ever meet Bucky O''Connor, Blackwell?
26911Everything all right?"
26911Flandrau was their prisoner, was n''t he?
26911Flandrau?"
26911Flandrau?"
26911For if he did n''t know the hold- up was going to occur why did he bring Mr. Cullison''s hat with him punctured so neatly with bullet holes?"
26911Get it?"
26911Got anything that''ll heal it?"
26911Got that letter I handed you the other day?"
26911Had he been in the stable while the remuda was still in the corral?
26911Had he seen them with Bad Bill and Blackwell?
26911Had her father somehow got into trouble trying to save Sam?
26911Has anything happened to Uncle Luck?"
26911Have you reduced me to the ranks already?
26911How about you, Blackwell?"
26911How are things a- comin''?"
26911How can we ever thank you for what you''re doing for Sam?"
26911How could I turn him loose when the first thing he did would be to swear out a warrant for my arrest?"
26911How do we know he might n''t a second time?"
26911How do we know he was n''t there a minute before?
26911How does he know I wo n''t cut my stick for Mexico?"
26911How does it go?
26911How far would he go to save himself?
26911How is Cullison?"
26911How much more do you want?"
26911How was that?"
26911Hung round there a- plenty, I expect?"
26911Hunting what, do you reckon?
26911I do n''t say it ought n''t to be, but is it?"
26911I do n''t want you thinking things that ai n''t so because----""Yes?
26911I reckon you ship by express, do n''t you?"
26911I''m not Fendrick''s friend while I''m in this office any more than I''m Luck''s, But I''ve got to use my judgment, ai n''t I?"
26911If it had n''t been for Curly----""Are you sure?"
26911If it is n''t true that he is your prisoner how does it come that you have your gray hat again?
26911If it was n''t Cass Fendrick then who was it?"
26911If so, what had that to do with the mystery agitating him and his friends?
26911If you were sheriff in my place, what would you do?"
26911In what way could Stone pay more fully the debt of hate he owed the former sheriff than by making his son a villain?
26911Is he as white as the rest of the family?"
26911Is that a penitentiary offense?
26911Is that it?"
26911Is that it?"
26911Is that true?"
26911Is that true?"
26911Kate Uses Her Quirt 169 V."Ai n''t She the Gamest Little Thoroughbred?"
26911Kate was n''t in that hole, was she?"
26911Luck gave you his check, did he?"
26911Maloney, will you take him up to the house?
26911Man, ca n''t you see that?"
26911Might you be the outfit he''s expecting?"
26911Miss Spitfire well?"
26911Now we''ll all be friends, wo n''t we?"
26911Now why need she fear the man?
26911Now will you please explain why you''re feeding me this particular bunch of taffy?
26911Now, do n''t you?"
26911Only a kid struts around and hollers''Who''s afraid?''
26911Or are n''t you?"
26911Or are n''t you?"
26911Or had he baited a hook for him to swallow?
26911Or is it Cass back again?"
26911Picked a spot yet?"
26911Ready to tackle another posse?"
26911See his body?"
26911See?
26911Seems to me you used to live there, did n''t you?"
26911Seen anything of a man named Warren about town to- day?"
26911Sheriff?"
26911Shows I''m sure a wiz, do n''t it?"
26911Staying up at Stone''s, is he?"
26911Still trying to get him to give away his partners in the rustling, were they?
26911Tell me, when did your father last meet Lute Blackwell so far as you know?"
26911The Jack of Trumps, to- day"Mind if I keep these?"
26911The point is, would he be willing to wait and let Soapy play his hand out till we called?"
26911Then against whom?
26911Think I''m going to be caught like a rat in a trap?"
26911Think he will?"
26911This is a La France, ai n''t it?"
26911Uncle Alec, will you keep guard outside?"
26911Understand?"
26911Understand?"
26911Understand?"
26911Want to know where you will be?"
26911Was Soapy bluffing?
26911Was it Sam gave us away?"
26911Was it possible that Cullison''s son was with them, caught in a trap during some drunken frolic just as Curly had been?
26911Was n''t that warm enough for you?
26911Was this the girl who had been in helpless tears not ten minutes before?
26911Were his suspicions already active?
26911What about your little stunt?
26911What are you fooling with Cass Fendrick''s sheep for?"
26911What are you going to do about it?"
26911What are you thinking about?"
26911What did Slats know?
26911What did he do with her?"
26911What did he mean?
26911What did you think I was?"
26911What do they know?"
26911What do you expect?"
26911What for would you keep the money and not turn it back?"
26911What has Father ever done to hurt her?"
26911What have you done with him?"
26911What have you done with it?"
26911What have you done with the brown one?"
26911What have you found out?"
26911What is it I''m to do for you?"
26911What is it you offer?"
26911What kind of a soldier would you make if you ca n''t obey orders?
26911What of that?
26911What right had you to take it from him?"
26911What secret has the Jack of Hearts got hidden from us?"
26911What the deuce did you do it for?"
26911What was he going to do?
26911What was it about her that drew the eye so irresistibly?
26911What was it they had planned?
26911What was to hinder him from trying to wipe out some of the big debt he owed the Cullison family?
26911What were they up to?
26911What would I be talking to him about, if I was n''t reading the riot act to him?
26911What would he do then?"
26911What would she do?"
26911What you know about it?"
26911What''s he going down into his jeans for?
26911What''s his name--''Curly''Flandrau?"
26911What''s the use of having a friend along if you do n''t use him?
26911What''s worrying you?
26911When did you blow in to Saguache?
26911When was it signed?"
26911When was it?"
26911When was she seen last?"
26911Where did you drop from?"
26911Where had he got it?
26911Where is he?"
26911Where is it?"
26911Where was he when you got it from him?"
26911Where you going to lie low?
26911Where''s she live at?"
26911Where?
26911Who told you?"
26911Why are you so suspicious?"
26911Why did n''t she come home?"
26911Why not go in his place?
26911Why not take a hike into the hills and round up the boy?
26911Why not?
26911Why should n''t I?"
26911Why should n''t he hunt up Sam and let him know how his folks were worrying about him?
26911Why should n''t she?
26911Why should the owner of the Circle C of all men go bail for him?
26911Why, then, had Soapy marked the time of its arrival there?
26911Why?
26911Why?"
26911Why?"
26911Why?"
26911Why?"
26911Whyfor is he digging up two thousand for me?
26911Will you come to the office for them?"
26911Will you cover the telephoning?
26911Will you go to the sheriff?"
26911Will you tell me that?
26911Wo n''t we, Dick?"
26911Would n''t it be a good idea to keep a man stationed at each one of them?"
26911You do n''t figure that curly topknot of yours is disturbing her dreams any, do you?"
26911You hit?"
26911You in training for sheriff, or are you going to take Bucky''s place with the rangers?"
26911You riding for the Bar Double M?"
26911You took the north road, I reckon?"
26911You wo n''t stand by and let the other boys do it?"
26911You''ve never met him?"

33884Course, we know why he does it, and that it ai n''t true----""What''s he got t''say about me?"
33884Did he mean her?
33884Did n''t I git bulge Number Two on him?
33884Did n''t he have no interest in_ her?_ It hurt her all the worse, mebbe,''cause I was there, and seen how he acted.
33884Did n''t it give me my first chanst?

33884Editor._""And what''s he doin''in_ here?_"says Boston,"--talkin''to a young gal!"

33884On both sides of the house-- see?
33884Oncet I thought I''d say,"You ridin''a diff''rent hoss t''day, Mace?"
33884One night, I says to her,"What''s that Goldstone woman doin''out here so much, honey?"
33884Op''ra prospects?

33884Then to me again, speakin''low and pointin''at the sheriff,"Mister Lloyd, what kind of a fambly did that man come from?"
33884Then you''ll help me?"
33884Then, I says,"S''pose you ai n''t lookin''fer no extra punchers out at the Bar Y?
33884Then, after swallerin''hard,"Did you happen t''notice how soft and kinda pinky her hands is?"
33884Then, his voice gittin''holler, like,"But ai n''t that the map of Goldstone, with a rip in it?"
33884This man was actin''in you''behalf, and if he do n''t pay, I''ll sue_ you._""Sue?"
33884Tried the medicine yet, Sparks?"
33884Two shakes of a lamb''s tail, and I''d clumb about a hunderd steps and--"How are y'', little gal?"
33884Wal, how do you think it come out?
33884Wal, then-- what d''you think it was?
33884Wal, what d''you think?

33884Was n''t it cal''lated t''make any man lose his temper?
33884Was n''t it mean of him?"
33884Was n''t that fine?
33884Was that black speck the sheriff?
33884Was that the_ sheriff_ talkin''?
33884What about it?"
33884What could I''a''_ said?_ And Bergin?--he come nigh pullin''his cow- lick clean out.
33884What if he_ was_ bound up in the boy?
33884What was he drivin''at with that"celebrated"business?
33884What y''say if I ride in fer Doc Trowbridge?"
33884What you say about runnin''as the homeliest man?"
33884When I got to the corral, what do you think?
33884Where''s his mawterial?"
33884Will y'', Alec?"
33884Will you look at it?"
33884Willie and me, we-- we----""Y''_ see?_"I turned to the Mexicans.
33884Would n''t it make y''_ sick?_"I reached fer that paper with both fists.
33884Would you just as lief put you''pistols away whilst you''re in my house?"
33884You know what it says in the Bible?
33884You say, he will think another man loves me so much that he carries me away?"
33884You?
33884_ Would_ y''?"

33884he ast;"somethin''like that we planned out fer Cupid here?"
33884he says,"what you astin''_ that_ fer?
33884he says;"did he say_ rattlesnake?_"Like a shot, Rawson turned towards him, wrinklin''his forrid and wigglin''his moustache awful fierce.
33884he says;"that so?"
33884says Hairoil, out loud almost,"what''s the matter with you?
33884says Sewell;"_ sue?_ You go guess again!
33884she says,"are y''shore?
33884they exclaims,"why, what''s the_ matter?_"Then, I gits up.
33884wal?
33884wal?"
33884what''s the matter that they cain''t send no capitals over the wire?)
33884y''hear that?
27913''Scribe her, mass''r; daat what you mean? 27913 A friend in the swamp, did you say?"
27913Ai n''t we nohow able to get up a set? 27913 All-- all-- and-- and-- Aurore?"
27913Alone?
27913And Aurore?
27913And after?
27913And am I in her house?
27913And does this young fellow dare to make love to your mistress?
27913And how did I get here?
27913And how risk life, Monsieur?
27913And niggers?
27913And now, Monsieur, may I inquire why you wish to speak to me, and what you have to say?
27913And that would lose you the race?
27913And those wounds-- your clothes torn-- blood?
27913And was that why you ran from me?
27913And what is this plant, Gabriel?
27913And who is` young missa''?
27913And who, sir, may I ask, has commissioned_ you_ to take this trouble?
27913And why not? 27913 And why should Aurore command such a price?"
27913And why? 27913 And why?"
27913And withal, Aurore is a poor slave just like the rest of you, Scipio?
27913And you have run away from the plantation?
27913Are you sure of that, mon Capitaine?
27913Are you sure of this, Monsieur?
27913Are you very anxious?
27913Asleep, uncle?
27913Aurore?
27913Ay, whar''s the justice?--whar are ye, judge?
27913Ay, where are they?
27913Ay, where is she, Monsieur?
27913Ay--_whar_ did I go?
27913B''side,continued he,"I''se got somethin''show mass''yet-- he like see curious thing-- he like see de big snake trick?"
27913Bad cards again?
27913But did n''t I ask you if thar wan''t some one overboard?
27913But how do you contemplate serving me by firing off pistols, and frightening the passengers of the boat out of their senses?
27913But how do you intend to live? 27913 But how?"
27913But how?--he knows your name-- how?
27913But the period of sorrowing for such a cause is surely past, and yet--"And yet you observe that I am still sad?
27913But where have you been?
27913But,continued Scipio, turning upon me an inquiring look,"how''d young mass''r come by de big ugly cut?
27913But--"Mass''hungry?
27913Cobbler?
27913Could you describe Aurore, Scipio?
27913Do you know if he could swim?
27913Do_ you_ not know all?
27913Doctor!--mass''Edwad sick? 27913 English, ai n''t he?"
27913Everything?
27913For whom?
27913Gayarre the avocat?
27913Have a fresh straw?
27913Have a straw?
27913Have you any message for Saint Louis? 27913 Have you been here before?"
27913He was a favourite among you?
27913He''s been fightin''a painter?
27913How are you off for bacon hams?
27913How high will you go?
27913How know you?
27913How many bacon hams have you on board?
27913How much against this?
27913How much against this?
27913How much money have these sharpers left you?
27913How, then, can you get at the snake? 27913 How, then?"
27913How? 27913 How?
27913How?
27913I ask you, Sir,he repeated, in a still angrier tone,"what''s your business here?"
27913I have my suspicion that a certain individual designs--"Who?
27913I understand; it falls down to her shoulders?
27913I''ll look at it again, if you please?
27913If we could find it,I said to my companion,"and leave our horses there?"
27913In Shirt- tail Bend?
27913Insolvent? 27913 Is Monsieur Gayarre present?"
27913Is he killed?
27913Is it a dream? 27913 Is it not enough that you are a stranger likely to be plundered of your purse?--a_ green- horn_--""How, Monsieur?"
27913Is it straight hair?
27913Is it true you intend leaving us, Monsieur?
27913It curls?
27913It was at the suit of Gayarre the bankruptcy was declared, was it not?
27913It would be as well,I assented,"if you do not deem it too early?"
27913It''s the same fellow that laid out Bully Bill: ai n''t it?
27913Luxuriant?
27913Monsieur Dominique Gayarre,said the magistrate, recognising him,"what is the charge you bring against the prisoner?
27913Monsieur Dominique, how should I know? 27913 Monsieur, may I ask who is your mistress?"
27913My dear R--, where have you been?
27913Nor any of the others?
27913Now the eyes?
27913Now, doctor, this news of Mademoiselle Besancon?
27913Of course Aurore is with her?
27913Pay you in cheques, sir?
27913Perhaps it would grieve_ some one else_? 27913 Pierre?
27913Say, Bill!--tell me-- be candid, old feller-- have you ever--?
27913Scipio is it?
27913Shall I step over to the house, and prepare Mademoiselle for your departure?
27913Shall we go, Monsieur?
27913Since when have they become acquainted? 27913 So you believe they have actually been cheating me?"
27913So, Marigny, you really intend to bid for her?
27913Sure mass''r not go till he rest a bit? 27913 Surely I can swim it?"
27913The slaves are all to be sold then?
27913The slaves?
27913The steward, Antoine? 27913 The storm will soon be on?"
27913Then I shall go to Bringiers at once?
27913There is no one killed, then?
27913This was in old master''s time?
27913To- morrow?
27913Twenty- five hundred dollars,repeated the auctioneer, in his monotonous drawl;"twenty- five-- six-- you, sir?
27913Well, then, what say you all to a game of whist?
27913Whar''s the justice?
27913Whar''s yer old ark now?
27913What am dat, mass''r?
27913What business have_ you_ here, Sir?
27913What can be his motive for my removal?
27913What care I if she did? 27913 What is this?"
27913What matters it?
27913What success? 27913 What then, dearest?"
27913What, then?
27913What? 27913 What?--revenge?
27913Where can she be? 27913 Where is he?"
27913Where is the justice?
27913Where shall we say we left you?
27913Whither had they gone?
27913Who fired?
27913Who prefers the charge?
27913Who says that?
27913Who told you all this, Scipio?
27913Who, then? 27913 Who?
27913Who? 27913 Who?"
27913Why am I detained here?
27913Why last?
27913Why say you so, Monsieur?
27913Why, he was considered the great friend of the family-- the associate of old Besancon?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Will you take cheques, sir?
27913Wo n''t be a fair match, Mr Chorley,said the dealer in hog- meat;"but since you propose it, if Mr Hatcher here-- your name, sir, I believe?"
27913Yes-- Who is Aurore?
27913Yes-- well?
27913Yes; have I not prophesied truly?
27913You ai n''t a- goin''to desart us that away? 27913 You an interest?"
27913You are not aware, then, that you are playing with_ sportsmen_?
27913You have?
27913You liked it, I guess?
27913You mean Monsieur Dominique Gayarre, the_ avocat_?
27913You were flogged for refusing to punish Scipio?
27913You will go with me? 27913 You will guide me to Bringiers?"
27913You?
27913You?
27913Your name, sir, if you please?
27913Your name, sir, if you please?
27913_ L''abeille_, Monsieur?
27913A fence of six rails separated me from the sufferer; but what of that?
27913After all was I_ not_ beloved?
27913After one or two anxious inquiries in relation to my wound, she asked--"But how came you to name Aurore?"
27913Again, even should my letter reach me in time, would the amount I expected be enough?
27913Although perfectly justifiable in me to have done so, who was to show that?
27913Am I awake?--do I dream?
27913And Mademoiselle Besancon, what will become of her?
27913And Reigart?
27913And if not, should I find an opportunity to speak with Aurore?
27913And now pray, Capitaine, when do you contemplate starting?"
27913And pray, Sir, to what am I indebted for this interest?"
27913And what cure?
27913And why nothing more?
27913And why terrible was the baying of a hound?
27913Aurore must be beautiful, then?
27913Bitterness, hostility, revenge?
27913Bringiers is near; promise that you will visit us often-- in fact, every day?"
27913But even if money should be deemed an equivalent, would Mademoiselle_ sell_ her to_ me_?
27913But even though she might not be, how were we to communicate with her?
27913But it was now brought nearer, and all the faculties of my mind became concentrated on that one thought--"How was I to obtain her freedom?"
27913But of what use they?
27913But surely she will recover from this unfortunate passion?
27913But to a heart so highly attuned, so noble, so passionate, what would be the shock of an unrequited love?
27913But was she among them?
27913But what antidote?
27913But what was there about me to terrify him?
27913But who was my host?
27913But why had he run away from me?
27913By lending me the money I required?
27913Can I trust myself to read it?
27913Can his society be agreeable to her?
27913Can it be the same?"
27913Come, Mr Chorley-- I believe that''s your name, sir?"
27913Could sin exist in that noble soul?
27913Could we do so?
27913Cut off your arm?"
27913Did I intend to follow him to his house, some thirty miles distant, in a hackney- coach?
27913Did he know her?
27913Did he_ know_ that Aurore loved_ him_?
27913Did she not say something of her house--"_ma maison_?"
27913Did_ she_ love me?
27913Do I not recognise in Monsieur Gayarre the cause of your unhappiness?"
27913Do you advise me, Monsieur?"
27913Do you intend to set fire to the log?"
27913Do you speak seriously?"
27913Do_ you_ know him?"
27913Does that satisfy you?"
27913Eh?
27913Even on hearing_ who_ he was?
27913For what had they stopped in the glade?
27913For what purpose, then, was I galloping after?
27913Forming itself, do I say?
27913Forms and faces were around me when I fainted and was carried in; why not hers among the rest?
27913Had I been instrumental in nurturing those flowers of the heart?--had I done aught to beguile them to their fatal blooming?
27913Had I committed an unpopular act in protecting myself?
27913Had I done anything to give offence?
27913Had he assigned the true reason?
27913Had he been there before she went out and been left by her in the house?
27913Had he not come ashore?
27913Had this strange youth a secret beyond_ my_ secret?
27913Has she no friends?"
27913Have you ever loved in humble life?
27913He said, in a careless way--"Perhaps, stranger,_ you_ wish to take a hand?
27913How could I have dreamt a thing so palpable?
27913How could I, with those large eyes, full of love- light, shining through the tear- bedewed lashes?
27913How could_ he_ tell?
27913How did you ever find such a place?"
27913How far is it to the shore?
27913How long would it take our pursuers to come up?
27913How long would she swim?
27913How many would be enough?
27913How should I find him?
27913How was I to act?
27913How was I to live at the hotel?
27913How was he to cure me?
27913How was it with Eugenie?
27913How were they to be shunned?
27913How with Aurore?
27913How would Eugenie act?
27913How would it affect our future-- the future of myself and Aurore?
27913How would you have me act?"
27913How?
27913Humble?
27913I asked;"have you heard any more of her?"
27913I believe Gayarre is now there?"
27913I communed with my conscience, asking myself the question, Was I innocent?
27913I felt that I had lost much blood-- had my incipient passion flowed out of my veins at the same time?
27913I hear you exclaim, that two have been forgotten, the hero and heroine?
27913I knew the horsemen must there leave the trail; but were they all mounted?
27913I mentally ejaculated,"what can it mean?"
27913I never knew of horses remaining so still?
27913I said at length--"Perhaps you will do me the favour to call upon me?
27913I said, interrupting him,"of what are you speaking?"
27913I was hungry-- what was to be done?
27913If he had not heard the signal- whistle, he must have heard the reports of my pistol?
27913If not yet arrived, how then?
27913If they were, then indeed there might still be hope; Aurore had not gone with them-- but what of that?
27913In another instant the excited throng was around me, several inquiring at once--"Who''s overboard?
27913In words it was thus:"How long may we be alone?
27913Is it his throat I clutch?
27913Is it likely one will pass to- night?"
27913Is it not a wicked law that persecutes us even when pretending to give us freedom?"
27913Is it so, Le Ber?"
27913Is it so, friend Scipio?"
27913Is it so?
27913Is it true?"
27913Is there a hope that she may have pity on_ me_, as I pity_ her_?
27913It must be the clearings?
27913It was you who stood opposite me in the corner of the saloon?"
27913Jules, the wood- chopper?
27913Know''i m, young mass''r?"
27913Life in the chamber of an invalid-- who cares to listen to its details?
27913Make no further effort to recover, to save her?
27913Mine had been dark for days past; and his-- what was his, poor helot?
27913Monsieur, it was you then who whispered the word in my ear as I sat down to play?"
27913Monsieur?"
27913Must I become_ her_ debtor?
27913No doubt, you are incredulous?
27913Now, sir, having this document in your possession, and knowing its contents, how could you claim Aurore Besancon as your slave?"
27913O God!--why is my destiny so hard?
27913Of cheerful import?
27913Of what is he accused, Colonel Hickman?"
27913Or afterwards?
27913Or am I to be under obligations to Gayarre?
27913Or had it been some one who had come across the animals by accident?
27913Or is there not?
27913Passengers rushed from the cabins, along the guards, and out to the front awning, and mingled their hurried interrogatories,"Who?
27913Perhaps Mademoiselle would send for me?
27913Perhaps he meant to meet me there or at my hotel; but how was I to get back to either of these places without leaving my post?
27913Perhaps it may be an introduction to the` graver theme?''"
27913Perhaps little Chloe?
27913Perhaps she might have thought of it, and did not desire to mention it?
27913Perhaps you?
27913Permit me to fasten it for you?"
27913Reigart would surely know how to extract the poison, or apply some antidote?
27913Resign myself to the situation?
27913Scipio has been speaking of her?"
27913Scipio?
27913She is young, rich, beautiful, a belle, and he old, ugly, mean, and contemptible; but what of that?
27913Should I follow and endeavour to overtake them?
27913Should the sum reach me in time-- should it prove enough-- should I even succeed in becoming the_ owner_ of Aurore, what then?
27913Should we not recover the horses, what then?
27913Some clerk in one of the stores?
27913Some one had been dogging us?
27913Some other of the plantation people?
27913Some ran down stairs-- some sprang up to the hurricane- deck-- some took aft, others forward, all crying out"Who is it?"
27913Some young spark of the town?
27913Something more: what can it all mean?"
27913Suddenly changing her manner, she eagerly inquired--"When you last saw him, monsieur, you say he was struggling with the ruffian who wounded you?"
27913Suppose I try to increase the amount at the gaming- table?"
27913Surely Gayarre would not be suspicious enough to have her guarded and watched?
27913Surely I must have seen it?
27913Surely a soul so pure, so noble, could not harbour such passions as these?
27913Surely no eyes but the eyes of love could have borne such expression?
27913Surely she would not be locked in?
27913Surely there was no face there that_ she_ could love?
27913Taking the black aside--"Tell me, Scipio,"I asked,"has Aurore any relative among you?--any brother, or sister, or cousin?"
27913Tell me, has he not come home?"
27913That would be an after- consideration; but with regard to money, how was that to be obtained?
27913The question was, would she have the courage-- nay, the_ power_ to discharge him from her service?
27913The thought had occurred to myself as D''Hauteville spoke, but how knew_ he_?
27913Then the reflection followed-- if such were the case, I should have found the pirogue by the tree?
27913Then, as if by an effort, her manner seemed to undergo a sudden alteration, and she continued:--"Please, Monsieur, let us change the subject?
27913There is still one state- room disengaged, I believe, Mr Shirley?"
27913They are the loveliest upon earth-- for where are views to compare with thine?
27913Think you I trouble my head about her?
27913To overtake these men upon the road, and deliver Aurore from their keeping?
27913Torture?
27913Towards me?
27913True, it would still be an hour-- perhaps two-- before her time should come.--Ha!--what?
27913Upon the boat?
27913WHERE AM I?
27913Was I alone?
27913Was he mocking me?
27913Was he playing with me as the tiger with its victim?
27913Was he so confident-- so sure of her heart, that he recked not thus leaving her alone with me?
27913Was he--?
27913Was it Eugenie Besancon?
27913Was it a feeling of pure chivalry that had prompted him?
27913Was it a lover''s interest that had been awakened within me?
27913Was it any of these associate thoughts that awoke within me this mysterious interest in the name"Aurore?"
27913Was it for me_?
27913Was it my face and my eyes staring open that kept them off?
27913Was it not he who had guided the_ crotalus_ to where I lay-- who had caused me to be bitten?
27913Was it possible-- probable--"Could you describe her, Scipio?"
27913Was it that that deterred them from attacking me?
27913Was it the singularity and beauty of the name,--for novel and beautiful it sounded in my Saxon ears?
27913Was my bride for sale on any terms?
27913Was she married?
27913Was there any one besides-- any one on board the boat that my dream resembled?
27913Was this another illustration of that character?
27913Was this to be her future home?
27913Wat can do uncle Sam for massa?"
27913We ca n''t make up a game if you do?"
27913We may be interrupted?
27913Were they all present?
27913Were they not travelling by that very one?
27913Were_ both_ playing with me?
27913Whar did you go, anyhow?"
27913Whar''s my dogs?"
27913Whar''s my dogs?"
27913What ail um?
27913What can he have to do with her?
27913What can they be doing?
27913What care I for a day?
27913What care we to be married here?
27913What cared the banker for my pressing wants?
27913What colour is it?"
27913What could be better than this?
27913What could be detaining them?
27913What could it mean?
27913What could such conduct mean?
27913What could_ he_ want with_ me_?
27913What did he mean to do?
27913What did it mean?
27913What do you mean, Mr Moxley?"
27913What does it mean?
27913What had I best do?
27913What had I done to merit reproach?
27913What have you done to him?"
27913What if I fasten it upon her, and swim alongside?
27913What if my jealousy were well founded?
27913What if she loved me not?
27913What is causing it?
27913What is it?"
27913What is there to admire here-- in these fields of golden sugar- cane, of waving maize, of snow- white cotton?
27913What knew I of such things?
27913What meant that strange glance?
27913What must be the influence of this man, that he dare thus step between her and the rites of hospitality?
27913What mystery is this?
27913What next?
27913What next?
27913What of all that?
27913What of him?
27913What of that?
27913What on earth could they be?
27913What purpose?
27913What say you, Monsieur?
27913What say you, fellars?"
27913What should I say to Eugenie?
27913What sort of hair, for instance?
27913What the deuce could it mean?
27913What to admire in those grand mansions, with their orangeries, their flowery gardens, their drooping shade- trees, and their soft arbours?
27913What to him was my ardent appeal?
27913What to him, a man of millions, could be the inconvenience of advancing five hundred pounds?
27913What to me would have been kindly weather?
27913What was he going to do?
27913What was it to me?
27913What would Eugenie Besancon think of it?
27913What would be her feelings in relation to it?
27913What would be the effect of the disclosure?
27913What would be the result?
27913What young mass''ail?"
27913What''s gwine wrong?
27913What?
27913When did money ever arrive in time for a crisis?
27913When he had got nearly up to my horse''s head, he stopped a moment, and thundered out--"Who the Hell are you, meddling with my affairs?
27913When was my betrothed to be sold, and I to assist at the spectacle?
27913When was this hideous exhibition-- this"Important Sale,"to come off?
27913Where are they?"
27913Where could he have gathered them?
27913Where is my father?
27913Where is she, Monsieur?"
27913Where is she?
27913Where is the path?
27913Where was I to obtain relief from this pain-- where obtain food?
27913Where was_ he_ to find an antidote?
27913Where was_ she_?
27913Where will you get your provisions?"
27913Where?
27913Where?"
27913Where?"
27913Where?"
27913Whither did he intend to guide me?
27913Whither did they lead?"
27913Whither had they gone?
27913Who can he be?
27913Who could_ he_ be?
27913Who could_ he_ be?
27913Who ever heard of a military man who did not desire to have his art considered as mythical as possible?
27913Who had cried out that some one was shot?
27913Who had taken them away?
27913Who should prevent me?
27913Who to an almost perfect stranger would advance such a sum as I required?
27913Who was he?"
27913Who was the fortunate one?
27913Who was to lend me money?
27913Who were they who had gone in?
27913Who would accept his place and his partner?
27913Who would have acted otherwise?"
27913Who would have been wandering in the woods on such a night?
27913Who would waste time gazing at stars when there is such a moon in the sky?
27913Who?
27913Why did I not love her, young, rich, beautiful?
27913Why did I not think of him sooner?
27913Why do you ask_ me_?"
27913Why had I mistaken her craft for_ naivete_?--her falsehood for truth?
27913Why had I yielded to her fascinations?
27913Why had he acted thus?
27913Why had he not arrived?
27913Why had he stopped there?
27913Why not break my promise, plighted though it be in words of fervid love?
27913Why not flee from the spot, and endeavour to escape the torture that is maddening both my heart and brain?
27913Why not make a bold effort, and free myself from this delirious passion?
27913Why not?
27913Why not?
27913Why should I attempt to purchase her at all?
27913Why should I care for customs and conventionalities which I at heart despised, even outside the levelling influence of love?
27913Why stay here, sir?"
27913Why terrible?
27913Why the desire-- an anxiety, in fact-- to have me removed to the hotel?
27913Why this interest in my affairs?
27913Why was Aurore in that room?
27913Why, then, did men look scowling upon me?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Why?
27913Why?"
27913Will not a large sum--?"
27913Will you bet, stranger?"
27913Will you have the goodness to give it your attention?"
27913With such advantages, what can he not effect?
27913With what design had she doing this?
27913With whom was I in love?
27913Would Brown advance the money?
27913Would I encounter him?
27913Would he arrive in time?
27913Would he attend to it in due haste?
27913Would he hear it at once?
27913Would he seek revenge?
27913Would she also appear so in the eyes of her young mistress?
27913Would the former see me after what she had written?
27913Would the proprietor believe in promises, and wait until my letters, already sent off, could be answered?
27913Would the wreck of the Belle keep afloat so long?
27913Would twenty- five hundred be the price of that which was priceless?
27913Would two hundred be enough?"
27913Would you have me paint the ceremony-- the pomp and splendour-- the ribbons and rosettes-- the after- scenes of perfect bliss?
27913You love him?
27913You purpose to_ buy this quadroon_?"
27913You see those lights?"
27913You think he is drowned, also?"
27913You''re going to take a hand at faro, ai n''t you?"
27913_ Do you love me_?"
27913_ How was I to obtain her freedom_?
27913a new thought came into my head-- perhaps the horses had got loose of themselves?
27913a young planter?
27913a''scription ob her person-- ye-- daat is, what am she like?"
27913a_ quadroon_?"
27913and whither?"
27913are you the captain of the Belle of the West?"
27913asked she in surprise;"are there not enough?
27913bitten by a rattlesnake?
27913but how came you to get such a mauling?"
27913could there be falsehood under that fair face?
27913cried he,"I hope you an''t miffed at me?"
27913cried the cause of all this confusion,"did n''t you tell me--?"
27913cried the ruffian, changing his former tone only into one more horribly furious--"It''s_ you_, is it?
27913do n''t mass''r know?
27913do n''t mass''r''member how?
27913echoed D''Hauteville;"surely this is the spot where we left them?"
27913exclaimed he, starting to his feet;"mass''say snake in dis yeer log?
27913have you delivered them all?"
27913he asked the banker, without heeding me--"how much, sir?"
27913he cried out, with an air of astonishment,"you hyar?"
27913he inquired, addressing D''Hauteville,"or do you mean to stake it at one bet?"
27913her mother?
27913how shall I ever repay you?-- how thank you for my life?"
27913how?"
27913inquired Marigny, suddenly awaking from his languid indifference,"Who, may I inquire?"
27913it is, is it?"
27913murmured he,"is_ she_ not to be pitied?"
27913or did I only dream it?
27913or even if any one had, what would have taken them into the pawpaw thicket?
27913or was it a hostess?
27913or was she only brought here temporarily, to be afterwards taken up to the plantation?
27913overboard, do you say?
27913pourquoi cette cruaute?
27913regarded these sounds as the sweetest of music?
27913replied the quadroon,"how can you speak thus?
27913said D''Hauteville, after we had discussed the various details,"suppose we fail?
27913said the other, not comprehending him;"what has that got to do with it?"
27913she berry good gal-- berry good gal-- but--"Scipio hesitated a moment--"but--""Well?"
27913she exclaimed;"bacon hams did you say, cher Capitaine?
27913some fair young girl, whose lot was among the lowly, but whose brilliant beauty in your eyes annihilated all social inequalities?
27913some one of the domestics?"
27913suppose some alarm be given, and we be detected before--?"
27913that will do, I suppose?
27913the errand- boy, Baptiste?
27913the overseer?"
27913the report''s true, then?"
27913those burning eyes?
27913towards Aurore--_her slave_?
27913whar did um go?"
27913what am I?
27913what is to be done to save her from this fearful man?
27913what to Aurore?
27913what was their effect upon me?
27913what will young Missa do now?
27913what!--a slave?"
27913where is Antoine?
27913where the tracks of my former footsteps?
27913where?"
27913whither am I going?
27913who gave you an antidote?"
27913who is there?"
27913who?
27913why do you run from me?
27913why for mass''say dat?"
27913why not?
27913with whom?
27913you are going to guide me, then?"
27913you have no axe?"
27913you know him them?"
27913you think it strange that I should know her name?
27913you were forced to it, then?"
27913you''ve had a tussle with the cats: hain''t you?"
30578A dream, eh?
30578A rich strike, eh?
30578Ai n''t mad, are you?
30578Ai n''t you got a good home, and everything?
30578All right,he rumbled;"now what''s the important business?
30578Am I four- flushing?
30578And are you still going to give me that mine?
30578And can_ I_ have it?
30578And is n''t my contract any good? 30578 And what did you say?"
30578And why not?
30578And why should they kill_ me_?
30578And will you bring out that grubstake contract and have it cancelled in my presence?
30578And will you give him a specimen?
30578And wo n''t you take the money?
30578Anything the matter?
30578Are they telling you about the strike?
30578Aw, cripes,scoffed Wunpost,"you ca n''t win all the time-- why do n''t you take your medicine like a sport?
30578Aw, who said you were a squaw?
30578But did n''t he receive_ anything_?
30578But what do you want to trade with a crook like that for?
30578But when you covered up this mine and tried to keep it for yourself, he-- had Mr. Eells ever done you any harm?
30578But who shot you?
30578Can he claim this mine, too? 30578 Come along-- have you got your sack?
30578Did n''t I tell you I was going to get some?
30578Did n''t I tell you not to stop?
30578Did n''t I tell you, right here, I was going to do it?
30578Did n''t I tell you,he demanded rising and pointing at her accusingly,"did n''t I say I was going to build that road?
30578Did you hear that?
30578Do n''t like it, eh?
30578Do n''t reckon there''ll be another cloudburst, do you, about the time you get your road built?
30578Do n''t you think,she burst out,"that I like to work for my father?
30578Do n''t you worry about_ him_ kid?
30578Do you know who I am? 30578 Do you know who that feller is?"
30578Do you think that will hold over here?
30578Does-- does it make any difference if I''m a girl?
30578Fine pup, eh?
30578Have n''t I offered to build you a road? 30578 Have you seen them?"
30578How about ten thousand dollars?
30578How come Hungry to tell you?
30578How do you mean?
30578How long since_ you_ started to herd lizards?
30578How much you got?
30578How''d he pay you-- with a check? 30578 How''d you find it?"
30578How''d you guess it?
30578How''s this for a mule?
30578How''s your father getting along?
30578I''m a blow- hard, am I?
30578I''ve got something good,he told her confidentially;"can you get off to go down to Blackwater?"
30578Is n''t it wonderful,she said,"how we first came together?
30578Is that all you think about? 30578 Is that feller Eells trying to beat you out of your money?"
30578Is that so?
30578It''s awful kind of you,she said,"and I''ll never forget it-- and now, wo n''t you show me how they work?"
30578Like to look at our mine?
30578Maybe you do n''t know who I am? 30578 No, I know, kid,"he said,"you were just glad to see me-- but why ca n''t you be glad all the time?
30578No, sure not,he agreed,"what should I be thanking_ you_ for?
30578Nothing doing, eh?
30578Oh, have you really?
30578Oh, he ai n''t, hey?
30578Oh, he does, eh?
30578Oh, is that Judson Eells?
30578Oh, it did n''t, hey?
30578Oh, it''s Mister, is it?
30578Oh, it''s a_ mine_ now, is it?
30578Oh, it''s yours, is it?
30578Oh, was that Dusty Rhodes?
30578Oh, will you?
30578Oh, you do, eh?
30578Oh, you will, eh?
30578Oh, you''re surprised, are you?
30578Oh,''shut up,''eh?
30578Oh,_ busca_ scout, eh?
30578Say, did Hungry Bill go through here? 30578 Say, for cripes''sake,"he wailed,"ai n''t they any short- cut home?
30578Say, how much do you want for that contract? 30578 Say, what d''ye think of Dusty?
30578Say,he said at last,"I''ve got a little roll-- what''s the matter if_ I_ build the road?"
30578Since when was this your claim? 30578 Since when?"
30578So I hear,returned Wunpost with a grim twinkle in his eye,"what do you think of my system now?"
30578So I''m a blow- hard, am I?
30578So you''ve come back to stay, eh?
30578Suppose,she said at last,"I should sell my mine elsewhere; how much would you take for that grubstake?"
30578That''s all right,she defended,"did n''t I make him apologize?
30578The Stinging Lizard?
30578The only way, eh?
30578Then what about my contract?
30578There''s my monument,he said,"ai n''t that a neat piece of work?
30578They''re moving together,he said to Billy,"and see that lightning reaching out?
30578Twenty- five thousand, eh?
30578Under the contract?
30578Was n''t that wonderful, now? 30578 Well, by the holy, jumping Judas-- how much is he going to give you?"
30578Well, excuse me for living; but who came across it in the first place?
30578Well, followed me up again, eh?
30578Well, have you seen the danged whelp? 30578 Well, is that all the thanks I get?
30578Well, maybe I wo n''t,he answered grimly,"do n''t you hear that kind of rumble, up the canyon?"
30578Well, then, how much will you give me in cash for my mine and throw the grubstake in?
30578Well, what are you hiding in there for?
30578Well, what do you want me to do?
30578Well, why not stay, then?
30578Well,_ what_ about it?
30578What about them Apaches?
30578What did I ever say I''d do that I did n''t make good, in the end? 30578 What did I tell you?"
30578What did you tell that old Indian?
30578What do the folks think about this?
30578What do you give them all the ore for?
30578What do you mean?
30578What do you mean?
30578What do you mean?
30578What does it say?
30578What for wantum scout? 30578 What for, kid?"
30578What good is it now, when my claim has been jumped and I ai n''t got a prospect in sight? 30578 What name you callum?"
30578What were you doing?
30578What you crying about?
30578What you do?
30578What''ll you bet that I ca n''t turn the trick?
30578What''s that you said?
30578What''s that?
30578What''s that?
30578What''s the matter with you?
30578What''s the matter-- have you had any trouble?
30578What''s the matter?
30578What''s the matter?
30578What''s the trouble?
30578What''s this I hear?
30578What, pay that crook? 30578 What-- Tellurium?"
30578What-- really?
30578What-- safe with Judson Eells? 30578 What--_that_?"
30578What? 30578 What_ you_ crying about?"
30578Where have you been all the time? 30578 Where have you been all the time?"
30578Where is it at?
30578Where is the crazy fool?
30578Where you been all the time?
30578Where''d you get it?
30578Where''d you get that ore?
30578Where''d you git that rock?
30578Where''s that rock?
30578Who are you?
30578Who told ye?
30578Who you working for?
30578Who''s coming?
30578Who''s this old stiff with whiskers?
30578Who-- me?
30578Why do n''t you get out in the hills and rustle? 30578 Why do n''t you keep it, and we can pound out the gold?"
30578Why, good morning, Miss Campbell,he exclaimed, bowing gallantly;"how''s the mine and every little thing?
30578Why, no,she answered, beginning to blink back the tears,"what makes you talk like that?"
30578Why, sure there was arsenic,returned Wunpost mockingly,"do n''t you know that rank, fishy smell?
30578Why, what do you mean?
30578Why, what for?
30578Why, what medicine?
30578Why, what system?
30578Why-- what Apaches?
30578Why-- what''s the matter?
30578Why-- what''s this?
30578Wo n''t you come up to my office?
30578Would n''t you be mad? 30578 Yes, I''ve got it,"whined the barkeeper,"but where''s your cussed mine?
30578Yes, but do you think it was quite right,began Billy indignantly,"to make Father seem a party to a fraud?
30578Yes, but what about_ us_?
30578Yes, but why should they kill_ him_? 30578 Yes, but----""But what?"
30578Yes, it''s sporting,she admitted,"but why do n''t you stake it?
30578Yes,she objected,"but how do I get the money to pay the men for building the road?
30578Yes?
30578You ai n''t sore at me, are you? 30578 You have n''t signed up, have you?"
30578You have such a funny way of talking,she said at last,"and besides-- would you mind letting me look at it?"
30578You know what I mean,she said at the gate;"have you forgotten about the cloudburst?"
30578You like me; do n''t you, kid?
30578You savvy Wunpo?
30578You see?
30578You shoot me-- get money?
30578You think you''re so smart,she taunted at last,"why do n''t you go out and find one for yourself?
30578You''re bad, ai n''t you?
30578You''ve got a nerve,he went on,"bringing those devils into the country-- don''t you know they''re as treacherous as a rattlesnake?
30578Ai n''t I the same man?
30578Ai n''t a third enough to give me a right to put up my tent on the ground?"
30578Ai n''t that right now, Mr. Flip Flappum?"
30578Ai n''t you ever read that contract we framed up?
30578Ai n''t you got it-- what''s the matter?
30578And Dusty Rhodes-- he must have led the stampede-- had he respected his partners''rights?
30578And did n''t I leave you a drink in that empty can?
30578And if Father builds his road our mine will be worth millions, so why should n''t I let this one go?"
30578And if not, if his claim that it was stolen was a blind, then how could they discover its whereabouts?
30578And if so, should she permit it; and if not, why not?
30578And if that''s the case, where does your young man git off, that you think the world and all of?
30578And oh, yes; is n''t it fine-- how do you like our new road?
30578And say, I''m going to ask you a leading question-- will you promise to answer''Yes''?"
30578And so you''re going to sign this contract if it loses you a million dollars?"
30578And what would she say when she met her mother''s eye and she questioned her about this strange man?
30578And why should Manuel Apache be making fancy smoke- talks if no one but white men were there?
30578And will you take me back for a friend?"
30578Another Sockdolager?
30578Are those your girls down there?
30578Are you afraid they''ll take it away from you?"
30578Are you going back to your mine?"
30578Be a nice way to mark the trail, if you should want to come back sometime-- and by the way, have you got that thousand dollar bill?"
30578Because the twenty- five thousand dollars that I had in the bank----""Get it?"
30578But I''m going to_ git_ him, see?
30578But do n''t you think it''s possible that Judson Eells will follow after you and claim this mine too, under his contract?"
30578But how, now, was he to approach this matter of the money which he was determined to advance for the road?
30578But just, by grab, to show you who''s four- flushing I''ll put you out of your misery-- I''ll_ show_ you seven thousand, savvy?"
30578But now I''m glad it''s gone, because I was n''t happy a minute-- do you think you can forgive me, sometime?"
30578But now about this mine, which you have named The Stinging Lizard-- what would be your top price for cash?"
30578But say, did n''t you do what I said?
30578But say, my friends, do n''t you think I knew where he would go to get that thousand dollar bill?
30578But that makes no difference, of course?"
30578But this gold-- where did it come from?
30578But was n''t it kind of him, when he heard you were missing, to send all those search- parties out?
30578But what would_ he_ say-- would he tell her what had happened?
30578But what''s all that that you''ve got in your pack- sacks-- have you been out and got some more ore?"
30578But what''s the use of making trouble?
30578But-- er-- did I understand you to say that Miss Campbell was your partner?
30578Calhoun?"
30578Calhoun?"
30578Calhoun?"
30578Can you git that through your head?"
30578Come through now-- who brought you over here?"
30578Come up to the house and tell me about him-- do you think he will bring back our mule?"
30578Could it possibly be high- graded, in spite of all the testimony to the contrary?
30578D''ye remember what I said about Dusty Rhodes?
30578Did I ask you to get back my grubstake?
30578Did I give you one half, or even a smell?
30578Did Pisen- face Lynch and that Injun come back?
30578Did he ever give me a dollar to spend, while I was up there in the high country looking for it?
30578Did n''t I discover the Willie Meena-- and ai n''t that what made the town?
30578Did n''t I name the danged hole The Stinging Lizard?
30578Did n''t he hire that black- leg lawyer to draw up a cinch contract with the purpose of grabbing all I found?
30578Did n''t he rob us both of the Willie Meena-- take it all without giving us a cent?
30578Did she think that this road had come there by accident and not by deep- laid design?
30578Did you ever see a banker that was n''t a regular robber-- with special attention to widows and orphans?
30578Did you find his name on the notice?
30578Did you happen to bring along a little grub?"
30578Did you kill him?"
30578Did_ I_ ever claim it was a mine?
30578Do n''t believe it, eh?
30578Do n''t you think I''m going to get this bad_ hombre_--this feller that''s following me through the hills?
30578Do n''t you want to be in on the strike?
30578Do you git me?
30578Do you reckon I''ll get some results?"
30578Do you reckon your pet rabbit, Mr. Phillip F. Flappum, can make me come through with any part of it?
30578Do you see that rock?"
30578Do you see these two bags?
30578Do you think I was so drunk I expected a barkeeper to have thousand dollar bills in his pocket?
30578Do you think it was right to deceive Eells?"
30578Do you want all that money now?"
30578Does n''t it seem a long time ago?
30578Does that mean you really do n''t care?
30578For cripes''sake-- have you signed the papers?"
30578Get the idea?
30578Give him a half, under my contract, and he can take possession-- and then where do_ I_ git off?
30578Going to follow me up, eh, and find this hidden treasure, and skin me out of it, too?
30578Going to make a fine watch- dog if he lives through this hot weather-- how''d you like to keep him a while?"
30578Has your father given up on his road?"
30578Have you any idee who done it?"
30578Have you got that piece of rock?
30578Have you heard the big news?
30578Have you heard the news from below?
30578Have you lived up this canyon all your life?
30578He had to send to Los Angeles to get the money for this first payment----""What, have you accepted his_ money_?"
30578How much did you lose on the Stinging Lizard?"
30578How much do you claim, I say?"
30578How much ore have you got in sight?"
30578How was that for the real old high grade?
30578I ai n''t educated, that''s all right; but I can_ think_, kid, ca n''t I?
30578I gave you the road-- what did you want to follow_ me_ for?
30578I stopped up at Black Point to look at that big dyke and what do you think he done?
30578I want my money, see?
30578I want you to go inside and see the world, and go to the theaters and all, but how''m I going to slip you the money?"
30578I warned him distinctly that I do n''t wait for no man-- did he say I went off and left him?"
30578I''ll never locate another claim as long as I live, unless I''m released from that contract; so where do you figure on any more Willie Meenas?
30578I''m a bull- shover, am I?
30578I''ve trimmed him of twenty thousand and a ten thousand dollar road, but where did he get all that coin?
30578In fact, why do n''t I come in here and get_ you_?"
30578Injun scout-- you savvy?
30578Is he the only man in town that can buy your mine?
30578Is it any excuse that others are dishonest?
30578Is it something about the mine?"
30578Is the bank going broke, or what?"
30578Is there anything in your contract that gives you a cut on everything I_ steal_?"
30578Is your mother up to the house?
30578Lynch?"
30578Lynch?"
30578Makes_ three_-sixths, do n''t it-- well, ai n''t that a half?
30578No Sunday school stuff, see?
30578Now listen, Mr. Injun-- you want to go home?
30578Now look in this crack-- notice that stuff up and down there?
30578Now that''s sporting, ai n''t it?
30578Now what right has he got to claim that mine?
30578Now you''d better just turn this mine over to me----""Oh,_ will_ you take it back?"
30578Now-- that''s fair enough, ai n''t it?"
30578Oh, are n''t these just wonderful-- and such little things, too-- are you going to use them to hunt horses?"
30578Or am I the only one?"
30578Or are you just mad because I took away your mine?
30578Rhodes?"
30578Safe with Lapham behind the scenes?
30578Say, do you see those two men on the trail?
30578Say, what do you think this is?"
30578Say, what''s your doggoned hurry-- have you got to sell out the first day?"
30578See you later-- where''s Dusty Rhodes?"
30578So I crabbed the whole play, eh, and fetched that cloudburst down Woodpecker?
30578So he had had a bad dream?
30578So he talked too much, did he?
30578So what was he to do, while he was waiting around for this banker to find out he was whipped?
30578So when Mr. Eells offered me forty thousand cash and agreed to release you from that grubstake contract----""You throwed the whole thing away, eh?"
30578Suppose I''d buried that ore in Happy Canyon, for instance, or over the summit in Hanaupah-- where would the Campbell family be for a road?
30578Take a squint at that rock-- you wo n''t need no glasses-- how''s that, Mr. Eells, for the pure quill?"
30578The question was-- how much money did Wunpost have?
30578The question was-- which one?
30578There''s liable to be a cloudburst and wash the whole road out, and then where''d you be with your home stake?"
30578They cleaned us, Billy, but we''ll get our cut yet-- do you know what they''re trying to do?
30578They would n''t have one,_ would_ they?
30578They''re falling every day, but I''m going up into them hills, and do you reckon one will drop on me?
30578They''re_ gone_?
30578Was it possible that his great strike was right there at their door while they had been searching for it clear across Death Valley?
30578Was it possible that this fly- away had taken his words so lightly that she had forgotten his exposition and prophecy?
30578Was it right-- say, that''s a good one-- you ai n''t been around much, have you?
30578Was it up to me then to go to Mr. Eells and tell him that the mine was salted?
30578We''re partners, ai n''t that it, under our contract?
30578Well, I took it to Los Angeles and sold it to a jeweler and here''s the money he paid me for it-- don''t you think that money is honest?"
30578Well, did n''t I show him the place-- and did n''t he come back more than satisfied with his pockets bursting out with the gold?
30578Well, for cripes''sake, did you think they were a_ present_?"
30578Well, how''s tricks?"
30578Well, listen, kid-- you ever been to school?
30578Well, s''pose I let you loose, what you think you''re going to do-- follow me up and shoot me for Lynch?"
30578Well, well, glad to see you-- how''s the bad man from Bodie?
30578Well, what''s the sense of trying to treat him white, when you know he''s out to do you?
30578Well, what''s the use of fiddling around, packing silver ore down on burros, when you know from the start it wo n''t pay?
30578Well, when did I ever come here and try to sell somebody a mine?
30578Well, where is your proper gratitude?"
30578Well, where''s your friend now, and his yeller dog, Lapham?
30578Well, whose money was it, anyway-- didn''t I own the mine first?
30578Well, why did n''t you kick about it_ then_?
30578Well, why do n''t you let them come up to the house?
30578Well, why should I thank you for this?
30578Well, you''ll get it, Mr. Eells-- do you recognize this thousand dollar bill?
30578Were n''t they supposed to be working for him?
30578Were you glad when you saw my fire?"
30578What about the Stinging Lizard?"
30578What authority have you got for suggesting that my cash is less than the law requires?"
30578What did old Eells think of the Stinging Lizard?
30578What did you expect me to do-- leave you a canteen of good water so you could trail me up and pot me?
30578What do you want to sell me out for-- didn''t I give you your interest?
30578What for you settum trap?"
30578What if they had spied him from the heights and followed him to his mine, or waylaid him and killed him for his money?
30578What kind of a man is that to be managing a mine or to be partners with a big banker like Eells?
30578What philosophy or sophistry can reconcile a man to such buffets from the hand of Fate?
30578What was it you told him about me?"
30578What''d you do with that five thousand dollars?"
30578What''re you going to do, let him go on robbing everybody until he has all the money in the world?
30578What''s matter-- ain''t you got the dollar bill?"
30578What''s the chances for borrowing your mule?"
30578What''s the idee in trying to kill me?"
30578What''s the matter-- did Hungry get gay?"
30578What''s the matter-- didn''t you like them Epsom salts?"
30578What''s the matter-- is it Sunday, or did you see my dust?
30578What''s the news from down below?"
30578What''s the trouble?"
30578What''s the use of fighting murderers, and playing tag with Apache Indians, when the man that sends''em out is sitting tight?
30578What''s the use of rubbing it in?
30578When they see how rich it is maybe someone will try to jump us-- do you think Judson Eells will come?"
30578Where have you been?
30578Where was it possible for a mine to be hid in all that expanse of peaks?
30578Where''s your father, my little girl?
30578Where''s your father-- up getting out ore?"
30578Who hired you to come over here and kill me?"
30578Who wants it?"
30578Whoo, boy-- where is he, Billy?"
30578Why did n''t you buy the old hassayamper out?"
30578Why do n''t you invite Mr. Calhoun to the house?"
30578Why do n''t you say what you mean and call it your system-- like they use trying to break the roulette wheel?
30578Why not make a straight smoke, the way a white man would, and let it go at that?
30578Why not take some of my money that I''ve buried under a rock and put in that aerial tramway?"
30578Why should I give up a half-- ain''t I got thirty thousand dollars, hid out up here under a stone?
30578Why should Indians be watching to shoot down Wunpost when he had always been friendly with them all?
30578Wilhelmina''s heart stopped as she looked out the country from the high ridge beyond the stone- patch-- could it be that his mine was close?
30578Wo n''t the bank take it, or anybody?
30578Would he do that if his mine was on the square?"
30578Would you like to see a copy of the contract?"
30578Would_ you_ have done it-- would_ anybody_?
30578You all do, do n''t you?
30578You think this is bunk?
30578You want him come eat you up?
30578You want to go see your squaw?
30578You was n''t in my company when I found this chunk of rock, so you have n''t got any interest-- see?
30578You''re always telling of the big things you''re going to do----""Well, do n''t I_ do_''em?"
30578You''ve got a lawyer, have you?
30578burst out Billy as she dismounted;"why do n''t you crawl out and get some yourself?"
30578challenged Wunpost,"how much have you got?
30578clamored Billy,"and what are you in here for?
30578corrected Wilhelmina briskly,"the desert makes all yellow cats red; but where''d you get your dog?
30578cried Mrs. Campbell in a shocked voice,"did you salt that mine on purpose?"
30578cried Wunpost;"why, where were you thinking of going to?
30578exclaimed Wunpost as he limped up to the house and discovered her on the shady front porch;"where''s the trusty bib- overalls and all?
30578exclaimed Wunpost impatiently,"did n''t I tell you this is no Sunday school picnic?
30578hailed a friend, or pseudo- friend, stepping out to make him stop at the saloon,"hold on, what''s biting you now?"
30578he asked after a silence,"has he shipped out any ore?
30578he asked,"hi- ko man-- busca gol''?
30578he burst out hoarsely,"but why should they kill Lynch?"
30578he cried,"but what good did it do him?
30578he demanded of Wilhelmina,"when I can get you a certified check?
30578he demanded,"and what you doing over here?
30578he exclaimed as he saw Eells emerge from the bank,"how''s the mine, Mr. Eells; how''s the mine?"
30578he inquired,"if I let you go?"
30578he said,"you savvy coyote?
30578he shouted uproariously;"my remarks are actionable, are they?
30578he shuddered,"did you make that yourself?"
30578he smacked;"began to think you was n''t coming-- did you bring along that medicine I wrote for?"
30578he yelled into his ear,"that thinks he owns the whole claim?
30578jeered Dusty Rhodes,"that big bag of wind?"
30578jeered Wunpost,"well, where did I get the price to buy that swell pair of mules?
30578objected Wunpost,"I do n''t want all that small stuff-- where''s those thousand dollar bills I turned in?
30578observed Wunpost,"and not to change the subject, what''s the chances for a white man to eat?
30578protested Billy,"why are you always in such a hurry?
30578repeated Wunpost after the crowd had had its laugh;"you think I''m a blow- hard, eh?
30578roared Wunpost,"do n''t you think I know that now?
30578she burst out incredulously;"did you honestly do it on purpose?"
30578she burst out tearfully,"I''ve sold him my mine and now he''s run away, so who''s going to make the next payment?"
30578she clamored accusingly,"who''s going to pay for the road and all?
30578she cried,"and did n''t I offer it for almost nothing, just to keep you from getting killed?
30578she cried,"do n''t you think the bank is safe?
30578she hissed, moving over and speaking low;"do n''t you know that Mother would n''t hear to it?
30578she taunted;"did''them Los Angeles girls''fool you, too?
30578shouted Rhodes, nodding and winking at Mrs. Campbell,"she''s getting to be growed- up, ai n''t she?
30578shrilled Wunpost,"did n''t I tell you I wanted it?"
30578suggested Eells at last,"for a quit- claim on the Stinging Lizard Mine?"
30578sulked Wunpost;"and what do you think about it?"
30578thundered Wunpost,"where do you get this''right''stuff?
35866A big event?
35866Ai n''t I proud to be your daddy?
35866Ai n''t this a good place, VB?
35866Ai n''t y''ll carryin''nothin'', boss?
35866All the way through?
35866Am I a man-- all the way through?
35866Am I on time?
35866And VB?
35866And why should n''t a nicer community be too fine for a girl like me?
35866And you would n''t let me help?
35866Anybody got th''makin''s?
35866Are n''t you afraid to pack all that around, Kelly?
35866Are you speaking to me?
35866At coming over here? 35866 Burned by that stuff?
35866Burned?
35866But it-- You ai n''t been flickerin''lately, have you?
35866But why,she asked,"why so late?"
35866But will it always be so with him?
35866But, say, will these horses always follow a rider that way?
35866Ca n''t you come and get me? 35866 Can I do more, boy?"
35866Can I do more?
35866Can he get around through these mountains in a car?
35866Can you drive all night?
35866Can you-- without knowing?
35866Captain, do n''t you see I would n''t harm you? 35866 Captain,"exclaimed VB,"what ails you?"
35866Captain-- are you-- here?
35866Captain?
35866Cleaning up a bit?
35866Dare I touch him?
35866Did I startle you?
35866Did you do it-- and alone?
35866Did you think I''d stay back there in New York and let you do all this alone? 35866 Do n''t you ever get lonely here?"
35866Do you really want me? 35866 Ever think how many men''s been thought wise just guessin''?"
35866Expect to starve, I s''pose?
35866Five hundred? 35866 Get into trouble?"
35866Goin''on out, or goin''to hang around a while?
35866Goin''on out?
35866Good deal?
35866Got one?
35866Grip? 35866 Grip?"
35866Have I got to rope an''drag you to grub?
35866He did n''t bleed, did he, VB?
35866Help?
35866Horse? 35866 How about it?"
35866How far is it?
35866How far will that take me over your line?
35866How much money will you take to get out?
35866How much money-- how much money will you take to go away from here? 35866 How much money-- to go away from New York-- from you?
35866How much what? 35866 How much will I take to go?"
35866How much will you take to go?
35866How much will you take to go?
35866How much?
35866How''s things, Jed?
35866How''s things?
35866Hurt?
35866I know you''re all right; I know you mean what you say; but ai n''t it a shame that when a man''s down our first thought is to kick him? 35866 I thought all along you were interested in the horse; not that you cared about knowing me--""Did you really think that?"
35866I wonder if you like that as well as I do?
35866In other words, think it''s now or never?
35866In three days?
35866Is it a blank wall?
35866Is n''t it a job to catch them?
35866Is that all?
35866Is the_ señor_ much hurt?
35866It ai n''t exactly astoundin'', is it?
35866Jed here?
35866Jed, did n''t I tell you I knew it was n''t no use to ask them questions?
35866Jed,called VB,"ever hear where his daughter went to school?"
35866Jed,he said in a voice that was strained but even,"let''s play a little pitch, wo n''t you?"
35866Just get in, VB?
35866Keep a couple of stoppers to- night?
35866Like to look in?
35866Long trip this hot weather, ai n''t it?
35866Looking for somebody?
35866No baggage?
35866Notice his horse?
35866Now, how does it sound?
35866Oh, do you understand, Gail?
35866Once more, please?
35866Runaway?
35866Say, VB, he makes th''ace of spades look like new snow, do n''t he?
35866See?
35866Shall I always come up against it? 35866 Sheriff?"
35866Sit in, VB?
35866So you''ve been thinking about me-- what sort of a girl I am, have you?
35866So?
35866So?
35866Still thinkin''of him?
35866Suppose I did keep above it, was sure of myself for a time in a sham way, would n''t it only be running the risk of a greater disaster? 35866 Take it you just got in?"
35866That is,muttered VB,"if she''ll take him, and--""Would you want him away from you?"
35866Think you can?
35866This? 35866 To be sure, an''ai n''t you got no grip?"
35866To go away-- why? 35866 VB around?"
35866VB,he called,"are you all right?"
35866VB?
35866Want me?
35866Was it a hard ride th''boy made?
35866Well, I said I''d git him, did n''t I? 35866 Well, are you never going to see me?"
35866Well, he got you, did n''t he?
35866Well, he''s so wise and strong that he''ll just keep right on running free; is that the idea?
35866Well, want to get rid of him?
35866Well, what do you expect to find around here? 35866 Well, what is it this morning?"
35866Well, when can I leave?
35866Well?
35866What ails him?
35866What ails you?
35866What am I?
35866What am I?
35866What do I want for him?
35866What do you want for him?
35866What do you want for him?
35866What if he''s trying to get away from himself?
35866What is it-- now-- so late?
35866What you goin''to do with him, VB-- turn him loose again?
35866What you see, cayuse?
35866What''ll it be, VB?
35866What''ll it be?
35866What''s got into you?
35866What''s wrong?
35866What-- th''Captain?
35866What?
35866What?
35866What?
35866What?
35866When it comes to challenge me, to take away all that I hold dear, shall I always be afraid? 35866 When shall it be?"
35866When you die, is all that strength of yours to be wasted? 35866 Where''d he come from?
35866Where''s that-- Colt, Colorado?
35866Which way-- by St. Louis or Chicago?
35866Who else round here''d be far from home?
35866Who knows? 35866 Who was that?"
35866Who''s your new hand?
35866Who?
35866Why ai n''t it good?
35866Why ca n''t I turn all this longing into something useful?
35866Why do you keep me at this?
35866Why is it that the thirst calls so loudly when I think of that girl?
35866Why should n''t I be?
35866Why? 35866 Why?"
35866Will I be missed?
35866Will it always be so?
35866Will you ever say it again-- that you do n''t want me?
35866Wo n''t some horse come to challenge him some day and batter him down and make defeat all the more bitter because of the supremacy he has enjoyed? 35866 Would n''t it be slick,"Jed wanted to know,"if we was all fixed like th''feller who makes th''days?
35866You know the way to the Thorpe Ranch?
35866You lookin''for somebody?
35866You mean you want that much worth of ticket?
35866You never want to go back?
35866You think it''s a good thing, then, for a man to get close to himself?
35866You''re not starting?
35866You-- Why, what can I say to you? 35866 You-- you do n''t think I fail to value this friendship of ours?"
35866Your lust for freedom has come to this end; why ca n''t my impulses to be a wild beast be driven into another path?
35866Yours?
35866_ Work?_ Do n''t tell me you work that animal!
35866After a moment he extended an indicating finger and asked:"Is that all of Colt-- Colt, Colorado?"
35866Ai n''t it a shame th''way men are wasted just by bein''born out of place?"
35866Ai n''t it rotten?"
35866An end for which he was thankful?
35866An''I did, did n''t I?
35866An''if th''first time went wrong it was-- profitable, was n''t it?"
35866And be sure to fasten the door so he will not get out?"
35866And he had been there how long?
35866And put him in the barn?
35866And was the result of his wasting quite irreparable?
35866And what was it?
35866Anybody tried to ride him?"
35866Are n''t you coming in to shake hands?"
35866As she was leaving, she asked,"Why do n''t you come down to the dance Friday night?"
35866As they stood in the doorway in a midst of repartee she burst on him:"Mr. VB, why do you go about with that awful name?
35866Avery?"
35866Away from New York?
35866Away from me?
35866Burnin''away there, corkin''up th''bottle, givin''us light so we can see?"
35866But I got him, did n''t I?"
35866But I-- what do I know about my own capabilities?"
35866But do n''t you see what this bottle''s for?
35866But he did hear the voice-- drawling, nasty, jeering:"Was you considerin''havin''a bit o''refreshment, stranger?"
35866But say-- ain''t that some booze?"
35866But were not his impulses carrying him?
35866Ca n''t it be given to some one else?"
35866Ca n''t you?"
35866Can I do your work?
35866Can you eat?
35866Can you ride?"
35866Can you?"
35866Danny looked quickly at his interrogator then and asked:"How did you know?"
35866Did you ever stop to think that of all th''strong things us men has knowed about somethin''has always turned up to be a little bit stronger?
35866Do n''t you believe that?
35866Do n''t you realize that?
35866Do n''t you see that candle?
35866Do n''t you see?"
35866Do n''t you?"
35866Do you think, Captain, that I can ever match up with you two?"
35866Ever do it?"
35866For had not VB gloried in that ride to Ranger?
35866Had it not been all conscious, witting, planned?
35866Had it not been the end of all things for him?
35866Have you seen anything you like?"
35866He looked on the other a moment, then asked:"What time did VB get home last night?"
35866He might scatter the band, but what of it?
35866His will-- did he have a will?
35866How do you know I''m worth even a meal?"
35866I like it an''can make a livin''at it, so why should I go into cattle?
35866I love''em, but I guess-- well--""You''ve been educated away from''em, you mean?"
35866I ought to get work right away, ought n''t I?"
35866If he gits away, what chance we got?
35866If he should be whipped and a surrender be forced?
35866If he''d had a gun he''d done fer us''n there, would n''t he?"
35866Is n''t he the wild stallion?"
35866Is that it?"
35866Is there no way out?"
35866Jed?
35866Might it not be something else-- a passing hysteria, a reaction from the inner battle?
35866No?
35866Now-- what will you take to get out?"
35866Oh, boy, will you forgive?
35866Out of my sight-- out of my way?"
35866Out of your_ way_?"
35866Reach the ranch?
35866See the light?"
35866Seven- fifty?
35866Sha n''t I be able to stand and fight and triumph, merely raging because it dares tempt me instead of fearing this thing itself?"
35866She looked for what seemed to be an unnecessarily long time at her watch, and then asked:"Is that his name?"
35866She was again mistress of the situation and said:"Well, are you ever going to tell me about yourself?"
35866Sleepy?"
35866So he asked just this question:"How long?"
35866So why hold off?
35866That''s something to set up as a goal, is n''t it?
35866The thought was: Is her hair as fragrant as it is glorious in color and texture?
35866Then asked again:"Do n''t you believe that?"
35866Then came the question, popping its way through unwilling, tight lips:"Shall I light th''candle, Young VB?"
35866Then he muttered:"Why did n''t she send it to Jed-- or to the Captain?"
35866Then the man spoke:"Long ways from home, ai n''t you?"
35866Then, in a half tone,"You do n''t mean you suspected VB?
35866They both laughed, and Gail said:"So this country has n''t taken the flattery out of you?"
35866To go where?"
35866To the place of Señor Rhues?
35866Understand?"
35866VB?"
35866VB?"
35866Was all that really so very far away?
35866Was he not rebuilding what he had torn down?
35866Was it not his first impulse to go on with the fight?
35866Was not the distance just that between them and the big ranch house under the cotton woods beyond the hills?
35866We''ll bust him wide open, wo n''t we?
35866Well, how much?"
35866What have you done?
35866What then?
35866What was there?
35866What''s his name?"
35866What?
35866When Jed came into the cabin VB asked him, as though it were a matter of great concern:"Where''s that calendar we had around here?"
35866Where now?
35866Where then?
35866While Rhues sought his body did not another viper seek his soul?
35866Who else-- that young animal- tamer, VB?"
35866Who knows?"
35866Why battle longer?
35866Why delay?
35866Why did you-- quit?"
35866Why do n''t you come to see me?
35866Why do n''t you want to eat?"
35866Why hold off?
35866Why not?
35866Why refuse?
35866Why should I?"
35866Why-- is this?"
35866Why?
35866Why?
35866Why?
35866Why?"
35866Will you excuse me?
35866Will you take the horse away?
35866Won''t-- won''t you tell me?
35866Would it then be-- worth the candle?"
35866Would n''t it surely come some time?
35866You had your polo string and the ability to play a great game, but what came of it?
35866You light th''candle, will you?
35866You understand?"
35866the insidious self argued, why not?
61013Beg your pardon,he said,"where''s the YMCA?"
61013Comin''?
61013Doc,he said,"why did n''t he shoot?"
61013It kin whut?
61013Who got him?
61013You remember them? 61013 ''What was that man''s name?'' 61013 Hey, easy, Doc, will you? 61013 No problems? 61013 Take it easy back there, will you, Doc? 61013 You remember?
4515A dream?
4515Ammunition?
4515And after that-- you saw him?
4515And change black into the color of the sun?
4515And how much farther have we to go?
4515And if he HAD I guess you''d have let me smash his brains out when he was bending over the stove, would n''t you?
4515And yet you have seen white women at Fort Churchill, at York Factory, at Lac la Biche, at Cumberland House, and Norway House, and at Fort Albany?
4515And you will believe me if I tell you the rest?
4515And you?
4515And-- grub?
4515Bless your heart, you do n''t want to see me beat out of a breakfast, do you?
4515Ca n''t understand her, eh?
4515Do n''t you know how these Kogmollock heathen look on a father- in- law?
4515Do you suppose he was afraid of YOU?
4515How did you get HERE?
4515How far have we come, Bram?
4515Is that it, little girl? 4515 Is that why he does n''t leave even the butcher- knife in this shack?
4515It makes one shiver, eh, Pierre? 4515 It''s you they want, eh?
4515Shall I throw out my bed?
4515So it''s YOU?
4515So you''re Philip Raine, of the R. N. M. P., eh? 4515 The-- the-- WHAT?"
4515What did she say, Olaf?
4515What do I WANT of her?
4515Where did you start from, and where did you come ashore? 4515 Why do n''t you talk?
4515Why-- talk?
4515You believe me, M''sieu?
4515You do n''t understand a cussed word of it, do you?
4515You have never seen hair the color of this, Pierre?
4515You mean Anderson-- Olaf Anderson-- and the others up at Bathurst Inlet?
4515Your-- your father?
4515And I must be careful and not let you know it, must n''t I?
4515And I''m wondering, after you kill me, and they kill you, WHO''LL HAVE THE GIRL?
4515And for what reason were mysterious enemies coming after her through the gray dawn?
4515And had he guessed correctly?
4515And if dissimulation-- why?
4515And keeping yourself in the background while your Kogmollocks did the work?
4515And then he suddenly added,"Celie, have you any more cartridges for this pop- gun?
4515And was it possible that the girl did not guess her danger as she stood there?
4515And what even would the club avail?
4515And where-- WHERE in God''s name are we going?"
4515And why, Philip asked himself, did these savage little barbarians of the north want HER?
4515But WHY had she come, and what had happened to make her the companion or prisoner of Bram Johnson?
4515But how in Heaven''s name did you get HERE?"
4515But how was he to discover that fact?
4515But would their enemies return?
4515But would you understand?
4515Ca n''t you answer?
4515Can you leave your foxes and poison- baits and your deadfalls long enough for that?"
4515Damned funny, ai n''t it?"
4515Did you see that fellow topple off the fence?
4515Did you split even on the cartridges?"
4515Do I make myself clear?
4515Do you understand?
4515Do you?"
4515Eh, what''s that?"
4515Great Scott, ca n''t you give me some sort of an idea of who you are and where you same from?"
4515Had he twice made a fool of himself?
4515Have you a spare pipeful of tobacco, Phil?
4515How many men you got?"
4515How the devil did you do it?
4515If you have-- let''s see, where did I leave off in that story about Princess Celie and the Duke of Rugni?"
4515Is n''t it in your mind?"
4515It makes one think of-- WHAT?
4515Meanwhile we''ll get a little start for home, eh?
4515Nice little package for her to have opened, eh?"
4515Now, if you were n''t afraid of Bram, and if he has n''t hurt you, why did you look like that?
4515Now-- I wonder WHY?"
4515Now-- what in God''s name does it mean?
4515Or-- had he faith in his prisoner?
4515See those little groups forming?
4515Shall we light some of Bram''s candles?"
4515Should he have winged Bram Johnson, three times a murderer, in place of offering him a greeting?
4515Should he knock the wolf- man''s brains out as he knelt there?
4515So-- is it strange that he should snare rabbits with, a woman''s hair?"
4515That''s it-- would you understand that I love every inch of you from the ground up or would you think I was just beast?
4515The OTHERS?
4515There was an unmistakable irony in his voice when he said:"It''s funny, Raine, that I should like you, ai n''t it?
4515Understand?
4515Understand?
4515Understand?
4515Was Bram Johnson actually mad-- or was he playing a colossal sham?
4515Was he afraid you might shoot him in his sleep if he left the temptation in your way?"
4515Was it conceivable, he asked himself, that the Eskimos had some reason for NOT killing Paul Armin, and that Celie was aware of the fact?
4515Was it not a long, long time ago, and had she not in that time become, flesh and soul, a part of him?
4515Was it not possible that the spying Kogmollocks had seen him go away on the hunt, and had taken advantage of the opportunity to attack the cabin?
4515Was it only this morning that he had first seen her, he asked himself?
4515Was it possible that Bram was striking straight north for Coronation Gulf and the Eskimo?
4515Was it possible that he understood her?
4515Was it possible that his shots had frightened Bram?
4515Was it possible that she had comprehended some word or thought of what he had expressed to her?
4515Was that it?"
4515Was the suspicion real and the stupidity a clever dissimulation?
4515What chance could this other man have?
4515What do you want of this girl, and what have you done with her people?"
4515What had brought her to the barren Arctic coast of America?
4515What has happened?
4515What''s yours?"
4515Where are we going?
4515Where is he?"
4515Who is she?
4515Who was she?
4515Who were the mysterious enemies from whom Bram the madman had saved her?
4515Why are you here with a madman and a murderer?"
4515Why did you wait until this morning?
4515Why do n''t you talk, and let me know who she is, and why she is here, and what you want me to do?"
4515Why had she gone to Siberia?
4515Why not be human?
4515Why was she with Bram Johnson?
4515Why you no shoot when I am there-- at head of pack?"
4515Why, then, had he not attacked him the night of the caribou kill?
4515Would n''t you?"
4515You landed from that ship, did n''t you?
4515You''re from Denmark?
32704--if Adam Forbes rode a horse big enough to carry his weight, and I rode a horse fourteen hands high?
32704A grudge? 32704 A letter?
32704A week, maybe?
32704About a year ago, near as I can remember, this man Caney-- Big Ed Caney-- deputy sheriff in Dona Ana-- did you know that? 32704 About what, now, for instance?"
32704Adam?
32704Ai n''t you never goin''to learn no sense a- tall? 32704 All indicating that the murderer rode at his victim''s left hand, and a little behind him, when these shots were fired?"
32704All set?
32704And I hear you been saying I was a gallows bird?
32704And do n''t I eat till His Honor gets back?
32704And keep my mouth shut? 32704 And the Garfield boys would n''t stand for it?"
32704And the murdered man had been shot three times?
32704And then you''ll beat me, please?
32704And who umpired?
32704And why were they all crosswise with each other, like jackstraws?
32704Any good, your mines?
32704Any news?
32704Any objections?
32704Anybody stay with Adam?
32704Anything serious?
32704Are n''t you?
32704Are you all there?
32704As an experienced man, does that look reasonable to you?
32704Be I telling this story or be I not? 32704 Bear meat?
32704But bareback? 32704 But how''ll you square yourself with the sheriff?"
32704But is it likely, Your Honor, that I could see ahead as far as that?
32704But who reads your letters to her?
32704But you knew?
32704But, Uncle Dan,said Hobby,"how did so many of them happen to be in Canada?"
32704Ca n''t you two get any action out of them horses of yourn?
32704Can you give bail?
32704Charlie has such eloquent eyes, Hobby-- don''t you think?
32704Dead?
32704Deadman? 32704 Did he say anything about location papers?
32704Did you examine the body?
32704Did you find the saddle thieves?
32704Did you notice his brand?
32704Did you notice the brand on his horse?
32704Did you see me brand the calf?
32704Dinner? 32704 Do n''t like farmin'', eh?"
32704Do n''t you think maybe you''re leaving an opening for some of the cattle to slip out?
32704Do we fill the barrel here, Henry?
32704Do you want to cross- examine the witness?
32704Does it go?
32704Extenuating circumstances?
32704Friend of yours, Jody?
32704Garfield post office?
32704Gee, why did n''t you wake me up? 32704 Get a wiggle on, ca n''t you?
32704Go with you, you mean?
32704Going to give Dines a gun?
32704Good land of Goshen, son-- what on earth has all this got to do with the price of hemp?
32704Good prospect?
32704Has the defense anything to offer? 32704 Have n''t you had breakfast yet?"
32704Have you anything to say to the court before sentence is pronounced?
32704Have you got the guts for it? 32704 Have''em bring''em in, will you, Harkey?"
32704He never told you, then?
32704Henry,he said cautiously,"can you let me have some cold bread and meat-- enough for night and morning?
32704Hob?
32704Hobby invented this wagon road, did he?
32704How about the women?
32704How big was the murdered man?
32704How can I study it over when I do n''t know what''s happened or what is said to have happened? 32704 How come them fools did n''t tell me?"
32704How did you know that? 32704 How did you know?
32704How do I get from Upham to the river, Pat? 32704 How does it happen you know so pat just when a letter gets to Hillsboro when it is posted in Garfield?"
32704How else would I know? 32704 How many?"
32704How so?
32704How tall was he, would you say?
32704How''d you know it was Adam''s horse?
32704How''s Caney, Dines? 32704 How''s that, umpire?"
32704How? 32704 Huh?"
32704I ca n''t write to my girl without your say- so, hey?
32704I suppose, when Sunday came, you kept right on working?
32704I wonder if girls feel that way too? 32704 If I let you out to eat breakfast with me like a white man-- no pranks?"
32704If I was claiming to be guilty, why confab with my friends? 32704 If he comes back, wo n''t he bring a gang with him?
32704If them bears had really been pets do you suppose I''d ever have opened my head about it?
32704In your opinion, these shots had been fired at close range?
32704In your opinion, when I shot Adam Forbes did I stand on my saddle? 32704 Is Caney dead?"
32704Is it well with you, Edith?
32704Is n''t anybody going to be glad to see me?
32704Judge, may I speak to the prisoner?
32704Just what was the big idea for sending one man to arrest me?
32704Know''em?
32704Little brown lady with curly eyes and laughing hair-- are you quite fair to Charlie See?
32704Look here, Mr. Wade-- am I to understand that you want this prisoner convicted whether he''s guilty or not?
32704Mail day?
32704Me? 32704 Mr. Dines, how does your client propose to question that horse, if I may ask?"
32704Mr. Gwinne, do you feed this prisoner well?
32704Mr. Gwinne, if I told you to put this prisoner on a strict ration, would you obey orders?
32704Mr. Hales, will you tell His Honor what color was the calf I branded in Redgate Cañon, day before yesterday, about two o''clock in the afternoon?
32704Nor whether it was a calf or a yearling?
32704Not being scared, you mean? 32704 Not that big red- headed chap I saw there?"
32704Now that I take a good look at you-- it seems probable, do n''t it?
32704Now was I convinced or only persuaded?
32704Now what you doin''--tryin''to slur my girl? 32704 Now why the little gun?"
32704Now, Mr. Hales, about that yearling I branded in Redgate cañon-- what color was it?
32704Oh, ca n''t you let me walk?
32704Oh, him? 32704 Oh, was it?
32704Oh-- that way? 32704 On which side did his mane hang?"
32704Pete?
32704Pretty quiet to- night?
32704See those thunder- heads? 32704 Shall I light the fire, Edith?"
32704Shall I take the stand now, Your Honor, or wait till after dinner? 32704 So Adam Forbes found this?"
32704So that''s all?
32704So you could swear to him?
32704So you did manage to notice that, did you? 32704 So young, and yet so tender?"
32704Sure of it?
32704Sure of that?
32704Sure of that?
32704Sure?
32704Thanks,said the stranger; and then, as he came abreast of Charlie See:"And the road to Hillsboro?
32704That horse you''ve got staked out, Mr. Jones,said Johnny, when the others were catching horses,"how about him?
32704That''s a blame fine howdy- do, ai n''t it? 32704 The shots were close together?"
32704Their hearts is bad-- can''t you see? 32704 Them fellows?"
32704Then you are not able to state that it was a calf belonging to Adam Forbes?
32704This way?
32704Thought she was blind, did you? 32704 Uncle Dan, is that why you grasping Scotchmen have crowded out the Irish round these parts?"
32704Very heavy or very tall?
32704Was he thin or fat?
32704Was my horse a small horse or a large one?
32704Was there any blood on Forbes''saddle?
32704We could n''t very well work six days gathering cattle and then turn them all loose again on the seventh day-- could we now?
32704We tried every way to make Tommy stay over-- didn''t we, Lyn?
32704Weir, you''re dead sure you can pull the trick about the papers? 32704 Well, Dines, how goes it?
32704Well, Mr. Hales, do you think that little old plug of mine will suit you?
32704Well, about how high?
32704Well, but we may lose track of him and want to spread out to look and ask, while some of us go on--"Where can I find drinking water?
32704Well, then,said Cole,"how would you like a Bar Cross mount?"
32704Well, who calls this witness-- the defense or the prosecution?
32704Well, why not-- if I did that?
32704Well,said Gwinne gently,"what''s the matter with me?"
32704Well?
32704What color was he?
32704What do you mean?
32704What do you think this is-- a town full of thugs? 32704 What is it, Uncle Pete?
32704What makes you think so?
32704What the devil do you need of more men? 32704 What the hell could I do?
32704What will it be, gentlemen?
32704What''s that? 32704 What''s the matter with you now, Dinesy?
32704What''s the matter with yours?
32704What''s the matter, you old fool? 32704 What''s the use of letting them other fellows know anything about it?
32704What''s your will?
32704What?
32704Where to?
32704Where will I report to you?
32704Where''ll we join you?
32704Where''s your stand- in? 32704 Which is your cell?"
32704Which way now?
32704Who is to tell Edith?
32704Who lives there, Edith? 32704 Why so doleful?
32704Why, Big Chump, you''re not such a bad old hoss thief, are you? 32704 Why, under the circumstances it would n''t be just right to tell you-- would it, now?"
32704Why, what''s eating you, Charlie? 32704 Will the learned counsel for the defense outline the rest of his program?"
32704Will you fire first, gentlemen of the blackguards?
32704Will you tell the court if the brand I put on this heifer calf or bull yearling was my brand or Adam Forbes''brand?
32704With trees all round, and a little vineyard? 32704 Witnesses for the defense?"
32704Wo n''t you please hush?
32704Would n''t Walter Hearn cut out your milk- pen brands as close as you would?
32704Would you know my horse again?
32704Yes, I am-- I mean, ai n''t I?
32704Yes, ai n''t it? 32704 Yes, and you had breakfast, likely-- but what do I care?
32704You are one of the Arizona Rangers?
32704You arrested young Dines?
32704You do n''t think I killed your friend, then?
32704You fear my remarks may unduly influence my decision-- is that it? 32704 You had been prospecting together?"
32704You know Perrault''s house?
32704You know there''s three cañons headin''off from MacCleod''s Tank Park? 32704 You lifted him?"
32704You see that these mules get started, will you, Pat? 32704 You see, Mister Deputy?
32704You was lying about them bears, of course?
32704You would n''t squeal, Travis?
32704''Cause why?
32704***** You remember Mr. Dick and how he could not keep King Charles''head out of his Memorial?
32704*****"And they aim to get here sudden and soon?"
32704Adam?"
32704Ai n''t I told you a hundred times, There ai n''t no money in the placer mines?
32704Ai n''t you comin''out to drink?"
32704Akins?"
32704Ambush, maybe?
32704And going to record his papers the day of discovery-- when he has ninety days for it?
32704And have they forgotten too?
32704And how about me having a confidential with my friends?"
32704And how do you get your mail at Garfield?
32704And me, just a big kid myself, what show did I have with two big grown men smooth as all that?
32704And that it was never to reach the recorder?"
32704And the Twilight horse?
32704And the story was about''nine bucks''; and it wound up with an old Mescalero saying''Wo n''t you please hush?''
32704And what I say unto you is this: How did them Indians know-- hey?"
32704And what is the battle cry of Dines, if I may ask?"
32704And what was the big idea for keeping still about that letter while they wove a rope to your neck?"
32704And why, sirs?"
32704Any more?"
32704Any of the Garfield_ gente_ implicated?"
32704Any particular haunt you have in mind?"
32704Any reward?"
32704Any rush?"
32704Any you fellows comin''with us?
32704Anything else on your mind?"
32704Are they going to hold my preliminary trial this morning or wait till after dinner?
32704Are you acquainted with this prisoner?"
32704Are you awfully angry?
32704Are you trying to make a fool out of me?"
32704Aristocracy?
32704At Garfield?"
32704Aw, what''s a- bitin''you?
32704Back this way-- or straight on?"
32704But can we prove this?
32704But how are you going to prove it?
32704But if I should make a slip, and you do have to fine me-- couldn''t you make it a jail sentence instead?
32704But in your opinion, Forbes was riding when he was killed?"
32704But that little bit is--""Strictly plutonic?"
32704But when you write her a letter addressed to yourself-- why do n''t your dad take that letter home and keep it till you come?
32704But why appoint those four men in particular?
32704But why has the prosecutor got it in for me?
32704But you saw my horse when you arrested me?"
32704Caney and Weir and Hales-- don''t you suppose they knew that letter was on the way?
32704Could you manage me a palaver with some one or two of''em after breakfast?"
32704Dead?"
32704Did he get you anywhere, See?"
32704Did n''t know I was fixing to find a gold mine, did you?
32704Did n''t you see him give Dines the papers?"
32704Did the path of the bullets range up or down from where they entered the body?"
32704Didya see his face-- all sweat and dust?
32704Do you know, I do n''t altogether trust you?
32704Do you reckon that placer hunt of Adam''s might have had anything to do with it?
32704Do you usually tote three guns, young feller?"
32704Does n''t anyone ever realize that it might be a tame business never to be wild at all?"
32704Does that come from Hillsboro?"
32704Dynamite?
32704Dynamite?
32704Dynamite?"
32704Ever eat any?"
32704Exactly what do you mean by that remark, my fair- haired child?"
32704Find any mines?"
32704Five to one-- what more do you want?"
32704Get me?
32704Got a pencil?
32704Got any beef, Bobby?"
32704Got any water in those canteens?
32704Got it in for me, and usin''this as an excuse?
32704Hales?"
32704Hard or soft?"
32704He added that he was going to lead a better life from then on, and would n''t they please hush?
32704He do n''t want to cinch me unless I''m guilty, does he?"
32704He drew Johnny aside and whispered,"See here, damn you-- did you kill that man?"
32704He was a short and heavy- set man, singularly carefree of appearance, and he now inquired with great earnestness:"Anybody mention grub?"
32704Hello, Shaky-- that you?"
32704Hob, who''s going to sell Charlie a farm?"
32704Hobby and-- and-- now who else was it?
32704Hobby did all the talking-- but who were the others?
32704How about it?"
32704How is she going to get it out of the post office?
32704How long have they been at this lay?"
32704How many eggs?
32704How would that sound?"
32704Hunting saddle horses-- again?"
32704I ai n''t named no names, have I?
32704I understand, Mr. Hales, that you three gentlemen were together when you found the murdered man?"
32704If he hits that box more than once--""Gun- shy?"
32704If he was the man that built that branding fire, how does it happen the ashes were still hot when these fellows found it?
32704If his face was bleak-- why not, for Adam, his friend?
32704If it was n''t me-- who was it?
32704If one man can cover a hundred yards in ten seconds how many yards can forty men make in the same time?
32704If one puncher can do this to you"--he surveyed the wrecked saloon with a malicious grin--"what do you expect when the John Cross warriors get here?
32704Is n''t this fine?
32704Is that him pushin''back toward the door?"
32704Is that why you made no objections?
32704Is the establishment all scientific and everything?
32704Jailer all right, is he?"
32704Jody, this is your country-- can we head him off?"
32704Johnny repeated the question:"You say, Mr. Hales, that these three shots had been fired at close range?"
32704Just below the jail?
32704Just clannishness, you think?"
32704Just turning their cattle in a neighborly way?"
32704Kirkconnel Lea they sang, and Jeanie Morrison, and Rosamond:_ Rose o''the world, what man would we d When he might dream of your face instead?_ Folly?
32704Kirkconnel Lea they sang, and Jeanie Morrison, and Rosamond:_ Rose o''the world, what man would we d When he might dream of your face instead?_ Folly?
32704Look here, fellow-- are you loose in there?"
32704Looks like both ends against the middle, do n''t it?
32704Make it two?
32704Maybe we''d better wait till he goes to sleep-- or will he lock you up?
32704Maybe you do n''t like my talk?"
32704Meddlesome?
32704Mercies first: Did you ever notice how splendidly it has been arranged that one day follows directly after another, instead of in between?
32704Mexicans, mebbe?"
32704Miss Lyn Dyer, now?
32704More coffee?"
32704My, you''re the desprit character, ai n''t you?
32704Next?
32704No objectionable-- er-- creepers, you know?"
32704No particular odds anyway, is it?
32704No?
32704Not horses?
32704Notice anything back yonder?"
32704Now who can say which was better, the hoping or the having?
32704Now would n''t that jar you?"
32704Now, Adam, no need for us to go over to your layout, is there?
32704Now, Mr. Hales, would you describe me as a large man or a small one?"
32704Only-- Great CÃ ¦ sar''s ghost, what are you now?"
32704Or will you follow a leader who plans surrender?
32704Or-- say, if you''re going that way, why ca n''t you mail a letter for me?
32704Patricians?
32704Play you a game of pool-- what?"
32704Pulling my leg?
32704Purty as a picture, ai n''t he?"
32704Remember what I told you?
32704Restlessness, shaking off restraints, insane hopes-- in that cadence of ideas what is there of haunting, echolike and familiar?
32704Restraints of society?
32704Riding?"
32704Saddles too?
32704Said he was prospecting, he did-- or did he?"
32704Say, Adam-- don''t you never carry a gun?"
32704Say, Forbes-- you ai n''t seen any strangers this way, have you?
32704Say, Mr. Gwinne, could you rustle me a razor?"
32704Say, Sam-- you send someone up with a wagon to bring Adam back, will you?
32704Say, can you straighten up this mess?"
32704Say, what the hell are you talking about?
32704Say, you mangy, moth- eaten, slab- sided, long, lousy, lop- eared parallelopipedon, are you goin''to be all night dollin''up?
32704Say-- look at that, will you?
32704Scared?
32704Shaky Akins?
32704Shall we get someone else?
32704Shall we swap?
32704She said:"I suppose you could n''t put them in the barn- yards?"
32704Smithy said''Toad''once-- notice?
32704So I''d go after my gun?"
32704So it''s at Hillsboro post office you''re the solid Muldoon, is it?"
32704So the prosecuting attorney would queer himself with this court by attempting unfair tactics?
32704So what are you going to do about it?"
32704So, thinks I, why not look in at Apache Cañon?
32704Sound Irish, do n''t they?
32704Sounds creepy, do n''t it?
32704Suppose they get a good lawyer and stick to their story?
32704Suppose you tell us about it?"
32704Swept up in a bunch of blatting bull calves like that, and me the size I am?
32704That no estranger may have some doubts?
32704That the man you met?"
32704That''s right, ai n''t it, boys?"
32704Then if we happen to find Adam Forbes by the fire where he caught young Dines stealin''a maverick of his--""How''ll you manage that?
32704Then the Mexican town was the old town?
32704Then you claim to be innocent, do you?"
32704Then you''re the party for me to jolly up when I want favors?"
32704Think I got nothing to do but hang on here by my eyelashes and argue with you?
32704Thirty dollars, you said?"
32704This spitfire- wildcat- wolf- and- my- night- to- howl thing is a new lay, is n''t it?
32704Toad Hales, is it?
32704Unfair?
32704Ve are not vit to sed in der vorevront of battles-- vat?
32704Wade?"
32704Was n''t that queer?
32704Was the letter addressed to the recorder?"
32704Whadya think I am-- an incubator kid?
32704Whadya want o''me?"
32704What are they?
32704What can I do to help?"
32704What did I tell you, you old hunk of Limburger?"
32704What do I say next?"
32704What do I want of a lawyer?"
32704What do you expect?
32704What in time do you mean by it, hey?
32704What of it?"
32704What say we go a- visitin'', then?"
32704What say?"
32704What will it be?"
32704What you got in that box, Spinal?
32704What''ll you give me for it, lock, stock and barrel, lease, cattle and cat, just as she lays, everything except the saddle stock?
32704What''s that in the yard-- crunchin''?
32704What''s the matter, feller?
32704What, sir, the hills are steep, the sand heavy, the mire is Despond- deep; for that reason will you choose a balky horse?
32704When dry weather keeps you poor and a rain hangs you?
32704When is your friend coming to break you out?"
32704When''d I ever do you any dirt?"
32704Where do we go-- on or back?
32704Where ees your saddle?
32704Where was Adam killed?"
32704Where was it?
32704Where''s Lull?"
32704Where''s that other man-- Jones?"
32704Wherever do you pick up such deplorable songs?"
32704Which way?
32704Whispering fools, you mean?"
32704Who killed a bear?"
32704Why do n''t you shoot a few lines?
32704Why should cowmen see this killing any different from anyone else?
32704Will you come?"
32704Will you explain, Mr. Dines?
32704Will you please kindly stick''em on for me?"
32704Wo n''t you coincide with me?"
32704Would it be impertinent to ask you to specify?"
32704Yes?
32704You did n''t hear any shots?"
32704You did n''t see it, then?"
32704You have n''t been wearin''the crop and split very long, have you?"
32704You know that odd bit of land, grown up to brush, that you bought of Miguel Silva?"
32704You know what you have to do?"
32704You wo n''t ever tell-- honest- to- goodness, cross- your- heart- and- hope- to- die?"
32704Your mount, that bunch?
32704Your saddle any good?"
46304And Francisco?
46304And has he become a bankrupt since then, or a beggar?
46304And it is to his sister''s dwelling that you are leading_ me_?
46304And to return?
46304And what may that have been?
46304And whence will you seek succour?
46304And where is he now, or how engaged?
46304And why does the gallant Colonel Valdez loiter in the rear, when his men are in action?
46304And why, why did you hold back?
46304And you are prepared to die-- so young, so beautiful, to die a traitress?
46304And you know the alternative?
46304And your sentence?
46304But what has led you so completely to alter your views and intentions?
46304But whither, whither are you about to lead us?
46304Can it be done?
46304Colonel Don Juan de Alava, on your honour, as a soldier and a gentleman, do you know where this American woman now is?
46304Did I understand you aright, young sir? 46304 Do you know that they say jealous husbands make false wives?
46304Do you think me less firm than a woman?
46304Have you heard anything,he asked, quietly,"from the forest in our rear?"
46304Have you sworn secrecy?
46304Heard I what?
46304How came the lady''s horse in the stable?
46304How saved?
46304Is it so, lady?--is it so, indeed?
46304Is that a blush of consciousness, or of shame, Julia?
46304Is there so much danger?
46304It is?
46304It may save us-- who knows?
46304Jealous of me, Arthur?
46304Not severely-- not fatally, at least?
46304On your honour, do you know where the lady is at this moment?
46304Our journey''s end-- Taylor''s camp, of course-- where else_ should_ it be?
46304Quien Sabe?
46304Remain in concealment, here?
46304That is soon done, so far as we men are concerned,replied the Partisan;"but how do you get_ her_ across rivers such as this?"
46304Well, sir, and who are you, then, I pray?
46304What could become of him? 46304 What have I done,"she cried, passionately,"what have I done that you thus spurn me-- thus despise me?"
46304What have you done, mad girl? 46304 What then?
46304Where is Estefania?
46304Where is she?
46304Where is she?
46304Where is the lady gone who was here last night?
46304Where is your officer?
46304Who groomed him?
46304Who knows?
46304You know it? 46304 _ Madre de Dios_, who is this?"
46304''Do you dare to resist an officer?
46304And high above all other sounds, and high arose the cry of the Texans--"Remember the Alama, the Alamo?"
46304And, as the next question, what made you count upon me?"
46304But as I have endeavoured to serve you truly, as I intend to do to the end-- as I am resolved to die for you-- will you spare_ me_, I say?
46304But now it is my turn to ask,"and his voice assumed a deeper tone of feeling, and his whole manner showed an intenser meaning,"will_ you_ spare_ me_?
46304But what could I do?
46304Did you say Julia Forester has no home save in the tent of a second lieutenant of dragoons?"
46304Do not you say so, lieutenant?"
46304I knew not_ then_, I know not even now, what it was I said-- will you but forgive me?"
46304Is it a bargain?"
46304Is it, indeed, you?
46304Is your glance answered?
46304Now where may that very definite place, which you call your journey''s end, be?
46304One question more-- will you reveal it?"
46304She has promised to be a sister to poor Marguerita; will you do likewise?"
46304The general cast his eyes sternly round the circle, reading the judgment of each man by his face, as he asked:"Are they guilty of high treason?"
46304Thou wilt be cared for; will he not, Gordon-- Julia?"
46304What could we do?"
46304What harm can one poor devil like that do to six stout, well- armed fellows, such as we?"
46304What shall I do to win your forgiveness?"
46304Where is that lady?"
46304Where is the lady?"
46304Who are you, fellow, speak?"
46304Who ever served or loved a woman and met with other guerdon for his services?
46304Who is this, I say, who is this, Marguerita?"
46304Will you trust me and follow me?
46304You have read it?"
46304You will be good to him, Gordon?"
46304You will permit me Gordon?"
46304a fairy bower, and a fair woman, in this howling wilderness?"
46304and he gazed at her in blank astonishment;"I despise you?"
46304can this be so?
46304exclaimed Julia, wildly catching him by the arm,"why did you not rush upon them?"
46304for that, false girl?"
46304have not they cut him off?"
46304it can not be-- the daughter of my best and oldest friend, Colonel John Forester?
46304she cried, fervently;"do my eyes tell me truly?
46304she cried, imploringly,"will you call me Julia?
46304she exclaimed in a low whisper,"heard you that?"
46304when will this have an end?"
46304will you have no sentinel?"
31870''Crude''? 31870 ''Twarn''t full of money?"
31870A whole week? 31870 A''dinner dance''?"
31870After the jack hunt? 31870 Ai n''t lil''old Fatty good for suthin''?
31870Ai n''t ye l''arned that I mean what I say yet?
31870Ai n''t you a- gwine to accord me no praise? 31870 Ai n''t you headed in the wrong way?
31870Ai n''t you man enough to have a pony of your own?
31870All right, Pratt?
31870All secure for the night, Daddy?
31870All those jewels and stuff? 31870 And Miss Rugley?"
31870And Pratt found the trail?
31870And Ratty M''Gill?
31870And how about that Pratt boy who you say went along with you?
31870And me sit here idle?
31870And that fellow Ratty was with him this time?
31870And they did not catch the man who stopped us at the ford?
31870And this boy of my sister''s is a pretty good fellow, Dan?
31870And what do you think of our Frances?
31870And when is the doctor coming again?
31870And why did n''t he free this poor creature?
31870And why does n''t he stop to pass the time of day with us?
31870And why should n''t I? 31870 And why should n''t she be?
31870And you''re going to put on that very clever spectacle at the Jackleg schoolhouse next month? 31870 Are n''t you going to invite the boys as usual?"
31870Are the cowpunchers just the same as they used to be?
31870Are those all yours, Frances?
31870Are ye mad with me?
31870Are you frightened, Pratt?
31870Are you hurt?
31870Are you satisfied?
31870Aw, why be fussy?
31870Bar- T?
31870Been pulling leather?
31870Before or after he robbed us?
31870Branded?
31870But ai n''t you an idee who they be?
31870But did n''t he find any trace of the robber up stream?
31870But he''s on your mind, eh?
31870But ought n''t I to go back with you?
31870But the trunk?
31870But what could he possibly want-- climbing up over our roof, and all that?
31870But what for?
31870But where could he have gone-- that man, I mean?
31870But where''s Pratt?
31870But will he be able to travel here to the Panhandle?
31870But you do n''t expect me to be scared?
31870But you do n''t object to Miss Boston''s expression of gratitude, Pratt?
31870But you do n''t propose to stay here?
31870But you do n''t want me to look like a South Sea Island princess, do you, Daddy?
31870But, of course, you know all about his adventures as a Ranger, and his trips into Mexico?
31870Ca n''t we keep ahead of it?
31870Ca n''t you calm his mind, Miss Frances?
31870Ca n''t you change these cords? 31870 Ca n''t you have the goods come by rail to Jackleg?"
31870Ca n''t you ride as well as these country boys?
31870Can it be----?
31870Could it have been the bootlegger?
31870Did n''t he chuck me into that fire? 31870 Did n''t you ever see a jack before, Pratt?"
31870Did you ever see the beat of that?
31870Did you see them?
31870Do n''t you really do all the overseeing for him?
31870Do n''t you suppose I''d be glad of the chance to ride with you for a way?
31870Do n''t you think so?
31870Do n''t you think you are witty? 31870 Do they go to town and blow it wide open on pay- nights?"
31870Do you dare hold this young lady a prisoner?
31870Do you expect that fellow is still trailing us?
31870Do you like me, Daddy?
31870Do you mean to burn the prairie ahead of us?
31870Do you suppose he''s known to Ratty?
31870Do-- do you think so, Dad?
31870Does it look like a joke to you-- a poor sort of a joke?
31870Does n''t_ anything_ ruffle you?
31870Even from Boston, Pratt?
31870Fired?
31870Foolish, am I?
31870Going, west, you say?
31870Got a sharp knife, Pratt?
31870Got that axle fixed, Mack?
31870Had n''t we better take a bite here?
31870Has n''t the Captain asked you for a dance?
31870Have you seen daddy?
31870He has been discharged from the Bar- T----"That''s the fellow you said made the steers stampede?
31870He never mounted his horse at all?
31870Heh?
31870How about Ming bringing us a pitcher of nice cool lemonade, eh, Frances?
31870How about that bird you heard on the roof?
31870How about this steer?
31870How about you?
31870How about your going to this dance, Sue?
31870How could they, Miss Frances, if the boat went down?
31870How did you get into this compound?
31870How do you know?
31870How do you like me now?
31870How does it feel to be a hero, Pratt?
31870How is that?
31870How long?
31870How- do, Frances? 31870 How?"
31870I hope you''re not hurt?
31870I reckon I know what they''re after----They?
31870I reckon that chest was filled with valuables, eh?
31870I reckon you''re not used to this sort of slapdash eating, Miss?
31870I thought your doctor had forbidden dancing for this summer?
31870I''d like to know how you make that out, Miss?
31870If I were he, and getting the attention he is----"From whom?
31870If that girl from Boston comes I''m going to have a fever-- understand? 31870 If that''s so, I reckon he got square for his loss, did n''t he?"
31870Indeed? 31870 Is it a circus parade?"
31870Is it just for show?
31870Is n''t this the fellow who robbed us at the river that time, Frances?
31870Is what all true?
31870Is-- is that all true?
31870It will be all right then?
31870Like them?
31870Mack is all right----"That fellow asleep on the wagon- seat? 31870 May I say one thing?"
31870Me,_ Capitan_?
31870Must I be_ that_ particular? 31870 My Uncle Jonas?"
31870My room''s better than my comp''ny, eh?
31870Never saw him before?
31870No? 31870 Nose ring and anklets included, I s''pose?"
31870Not all of them coming, I hope?
31870Oh-- well-- have those boards actually got to stay on?
31870Re''lly?
31870Read it to me, will you, Miss Nurse?
31870Seen anything of Miss Frances?
31870She did?
31870She''s a mighty fine girl, I reckon?
31870So you think better of our''crude civilization,''do you?
31870Stay here and fry?
31870Sure?
31870Surely there''s not much danger?
31870That fellow who took the old trunk away from Frances?
31870That is n''t anything very bad, is it, Frances?
31870That there have been such improvements and changes here in so few years?
31870That was some heavy, was n''t it?
31870That, I take it, was the burden of his trouble when he rambled last night in his speech?
31870That_ is_ a nice job for your nephew, hey Lon?
31870The Captain?
31870Then he was n''t the man whose wagon and one horse was burned?
31870Then you must be Miss Rugley, Captain Dan Rugley''s daughter?
31870Then-- then you are not grown up, after all?
31870There are no big night- flying birds out here on the plains?
31870There''s nobody in Boston''s Back Bay, even, who could do better than she?
31870They tell me it is so interesting to see the calves-- er-- monogrammed; do you call it?
31870Think I''m going to let old Lon stay in that soldiers''home? 31870 Turn your face up this way-- you hear me?
31870Victorino, too?
31870Was Amarillo ever like_ that_?
31870Was young Pratt Sanderson with them?
31870We all seem to be out of our beds at the hour when graveyards yawn, eh?
31870Well? 31870 Well?"
31870What about those who went up stream?
31870What are you doing?
31870What are you running about the house for at this time o''night?
31870What can he be doing?
31870What can it be?
31870What d''ye know about Lonergan?
31870What did he look like?
31870What did you say to Miss Latrop about her hair? 31870 What do you know about my journey?"
31870What do you mean, Frances?
31870What do you mean?
31870What do you mean?
31870What do you think of it?
31870What do you think of_ that_?
31870What do you want of me?
31870What do you want?
31870What do you want?
31870What do you want?
31870What does that fellow want?
31870What else?
31870What happened to Ratty''s bunch?
31870What in thunder was that?
31870What is it, Daddy?
31870What is it?
31870What is n''t there that you do n''t do better than most of''em?
31870What is that?
31870What is the matter? 31870 What punt?"
31870What shall we do?
31870What was in that trunk? 31870 What will your father say, Frances?"
31870What would father say, if he knew about it?
31870What''s kept you, Frances?
31870What''s that Mr. Tooley said in his letter, Frances?
31870What''s that, Frances?
31870What''s that?
31870What''s the good word, Sam?
31870What''s the matter with that horse, Frances?
31870What''s the matter with them?
31870What''s the matter with you fellers, anyway?
31870What''s the matter with you?
31870What''s the matter, Frances?
31870What''s the matter, Frances?
31870What''s the matter?
31870What''s tickling you, Pratt?
31870What''s up, Miss?
31870What? 31870 What?"
31870What?
31870When do ye want to go?
31870When is he going to let me get up out of this?
31870Where are you going, Pratt?
31870Where did she go?
31870Where did you leave Frances, Sam?
31870Where do you reckon he went to, Sam?
31870Where''d you get this? 31870 Who do ye think they are?"
31870Who done that?
31870Who gave it to you?
31870Who gave you this?
31870Who set the grass- fire, in the first place?
31870Who you looking for, Frances?
31870Who''s bossing things here now, I''d like to know?
31870Who''s she?
31870Who''s there?
31870Who''s there?
31870Who''s there?
31870Who?
31870Why are you out of your bed, sir-- with your rheumatism?
31870Why do n''t you try your''prentice hand on that buckskin? 31870 Why is this, sir?"
31870Why not?
31870Why not?
31870Why-- why---- What do you mean?
31870With the make- believe treasure chest?
31870Wonder who could have been here? 31870 Would Ellis come by that trail?"
31870You do n''t expect me to sleep all the time, do you, Frances?
31870You do n''t expect me to, do you?
31870You do n''t know----"And I suppose you do?
31870You do n''t? 31870 You going with the wagon, Miss Frances?"
31870You have n''t been thrown, Frances, have you?
31870You know who I am and what I come up yere for?
31870You might have been much more seriously hurt----"You do n''t suppose I care about being hurt, do you?
31870You think you are smart, do n''t you?
31870You''re not going to take a dare like that, are you, Frances?
31870You-- you saw nothing in the court?
31870_ Quien sabe?_retorted José Reposa, with a shrug of his shoulders.
31870_ What?_"That''s so,said Ratty, with his slow drawl, and evidently enjoying the other''s discomfiture.
31870_ You_ a bank clerk, looking out through the wires of a cage like a monkey in the Zoo we saw years ago at Kansas City?
31870''Light, wo n''t yer?"
31870About the looting of---- Who was the old Spanish grandee he mentioned?"
31870Ai n''t it so?
31870Ai n''t that so, boys?"
31870All ready, Sam Harding?"
31870Am I right, Pratt?"
31870And after that-- and after that----?
31870And do n''t you be too sassy, understand?
31870And does she have her monogram burned on all of them?"
31870And if so, what is his reputation, his full name, and why did he leave the Home?"
31870And it must have been heavy, Frances?"
31870And now he''s going to come for his share----""Come for his share, Daddy?"
31870And who was its driver?
31870Are n''t girls wonders?"
31870Back to back and never give up or ask for quarter, eh?"
31870But Frances wondered what the girl from Boston would say to Pratt Sanderson about it, if she chanced to see Frances so adorned?
31870But there was one query far more important than all the others: Where was the man going over the roof?
31870But what could she do about it?
31870But who was he?
31870But''twould certain sure be a romantic outcome of all our adventures together years ago, eh?"
31870Ca n''t Ming find him a flannel shirt, Dad?"
31870Ca n''t it be done?"
31870Can I get a flop- down and a bite here?"
31870Can it be that father is right?
31870D''ye get me?
31870Did n''t you catch me as I fell?"
31870Did the fellow who hailed us to- night come here to the Bar- T for some bad purpose?"
31870Did you see the straw blowing out of the pipes as though a cyclone was whirling it away?
31870Do I?"
31870Do n''t I look as purty on hawseback as that fat chunk does?"
31870Do n''t you say so, Miss Frances?"
31870Do you hear me?"
31870Do you know who this young lady is, man?"
31870Does something pinch you?"
31870Edwards?"
31870Get me?"
31870Had he, too, seen the mysterious shadow in the court?
31870Had that shadow she had seen come this way?
31870Had they met, or passed, on the river bank?
31870He is n''t up, is he?"
31870He''s an awful nice young man----""Where''s Mack?"
31870He''s going to take some of the work off the Captain''s shoulders when we get him broke in, hey, Dan?"
31870Helped on the winter feed-- didn''t it, Daddy?"
31870How came you and your friends to be riding this way?"
31870How could she with Captain Dan Rugley for a father?"
31870How did he get here?
31870How did he know he could make the hook of his ladder fast at this point?
31870I believe one has to make his money in some such way to break into Boston society?"
31870I can kiss you now without mussing you all up, eh?"
31870I take it your health''s well?"
31870I wonder why?
31870I wonder why?"
31870I''m hurt, worse than I thought, eh?"
31870If he ai n''t the gal has----""You mean that daughter of the old man''s?"
31870If they do?"
31870In the meantime suppose Pete made another attempt to steal the contents of the Spanish chest?
31870Is he expecting to meet somebody?"
31870Is n''t it a lovely blond?"
31870Is n''t it hot?"
31870Is n''t she the whole show?"
31870Is n''t she, Pratt?"
31870Is that the plan for the pageant you are writing?"
31870It''s so''tarnal dark, neighbor----""You see those lights down yonder?"
31870Lonergan?"
31870Me?
31870Must have been something valuable, eh?"
31870Now, what shall I do about this?"
31870Or maybe that boy upstairs, eh?"
31870Or was it another?
31870Or was the broken place the result of an accident, and the marauder had noted it by daylight from the ground?
31870Plenty of cartridges in that box?
31870Read the letter, Frances, wo n''t you?"
31870Ready for this other wire?"
31870Savvy?"
31870She longed for Amarillo and what the old Captain called"the frills of society"; but could she give up the ranch for them?
31870She saw Ratty M''Gill on the black pony flying ahead of the steers; but what could one man do to turn two thousand head of wild cattle?
31870She was wondering if this abandoned wagon was the one she had seen turn into the trail from Cottonwood Bottom early in the day?
31870Should she run after him?
31870Should she run to awaken her father, or wait to observe his appearance above the edge of the veranda roof?
31870Should she shout louder for him?
31870Should she tell him the truth about that chest?
31870So interesting, I suppose?"
31870Sue whispered to Pratt, as they all arose to return to the front of the house,"they are quite too impossible, are n''t they?"
31870Suppose people believed that Captain Dan Rugley had actually stolen those things in some raid into Mexico?
31870Surely, the reckless fellow did not propose to attack Mack and herself on the open trail and in broad daylight?
31870That girl from Boston, for instance?"
31870That red coat''s got style to it, I reckon?"
31870The Bar- T''s big enough, I should hope-- hey, Frances?
31870The Chinks?
31870Then he turned to Pratt again and roared:"Do you know who I am, boy?"
31870Thinks him all right----""Ye do n''t mean to say ye think he''s in this mean mess?"
31870This Frances Rugley you tell about owns all these cows?
31870Understand, boys?"
31870Understand?"
31870Was he alone?
31870Was he on the watch for a possible marauder?
31870Was he the man Captain Rugley had seemed to be expecting to try to make a raid upon the ranch- house?
31870Was her father there?
31870Was it Molly?
31870Was it alive?
31870Was she expecting an attack?
31870Was that a rustling just outside the bars?
31870Was the man, Pete, lurking in some hollow or buffalo wallow?
31870Was there a traitor about who had broken a slate in the roof?
31870Was_ this_ the man who had come over the roof of the house?
31870Were n''t you just talking to him?"
31870What could Frances say?
31870What could it be?
31870What could it be?
31870What d''ye think you''re going to do about it?"
31870What did he mean by such conduct?
31870What did he want?
31870What did you say this boy''s name was, Dan?"
31870What do you know about that?
31870What do you say?"
31870What do you suppose Sam and the boys will do to you for treating me in this manner?"
31870What else could you expect of a cowgirl?"
31870What for, I wonder?
31870What had happened here since the lights went out and that mysterious marauder had come in over the ranch- house roof?
31870What is it?"
31870What kind of a hunter did I show myself to be?
31870What scent do they trail, I mean?"
31870What was he after?
31870What was he doing wandering around that court?"
31870What''s all the dolling up for?
31870What''s the matter?"
31870What''s''crude''?"
31870Whatever did possess me to urge her on?"
31870When can I have it?"
31870Where are you bound?"
31870Where could he have gone?
31870Where did_ she_ learn to plan pageants?
31870Where had she gone?
31870Where had the man gone who had climbed the rope ladder?
31870Who could he be?
31870Who was he?
31870Whom could Sam have sent with the bronchos for the doctor?"
31870Why are you out of your bed, Pratt?"
31870Why burn the mark upon the hides of those-- er-- embryo cows?"
31870Why did n''t you ride after her, Pratt?"
31870Why did n''t you wait till we was comin''back before springin''this mine on us?"
31870Why do n''t one o''you get down and show''em what you can do?"
31870Why had the young fellow been so sure that the robber had gone up stream instead of down?
31870Why should she be afraid now?
31870Why this curiosity?
31870Why, I could get up now----""With those shingles plastered to your shoulder?"
31870Why, do n''t you care anything for them?"
31870Wo n''t the girl tell them?
31870Would Ratty come back?
31870Would n''t it be easier?"
31870You hear?"
31870You never saw a prairie fire, Pratt?"
31870You wanter go to bed, honey?"
31870You''re the heir of a rich man now-- isn''t that so, Captain?"
31870Your father''s got a plenty----""You mean to make him ransom me?"
31870_ Sabe?_ Tell Joe to saddle Cherry, and Sam''s horse, and you get a saddle on your own, Vic.
31870_"What''s he doing with my pony?
31870are folks goin''to be held up on this trail and robbed just as though we had no law and order?
31870asked one of the local boys, with wonder,"what do the dogs follow, if there''s no fox?
31870did n''t hurt him when he went to bed, did they?
31870how can you be so mean?"
31870is it you, Miss Frances?"
31870is that my fault?"
31870was this around Boston?"
31870what are you about?"
31870what do you know about that?"
31870what do you think of that?"
31870what does she know about it?
31870what for?"
31870what is the matter with you?"
31870what we goin''ter do then?"
31870ye do n''t mean to say you''ve been through that fire?
31870you do n''t mean for us to climb up_ there_?"
31870you do n''t mean that you think Pratt Sanderson would do such a thing?"
27436All right?
27436Am I not like other girls?
27436Am I not?
27436Am I so awesome?
27436Am I to tell you what I think of you-- with all these young men here?
27436And after we''re married, what then?
27436And by night you''ll have Mr. Hold- up roped and hog- tied?
27436And did you find him?
27436And how do you know what I deserve? 27436 And if I say I wo n''t go?"
27436And if they do n''t believe that you are going out of the sheep business-- what then?
27436And in the meantime you''ll ride the Flattops when I give the word?
27436And is n''t going to prosecute?
27436And let you walk?
27436And meant to keep quiet about it?
27436And right then he come at you and ree- quested yore whole outfit to poke a hole in the scenery with yore front feet?
27436And that''s all the evidence you''ve got against him and me?
27436And the gold-- how did you find that?
27436And then?
27436And then?
27436And what are_ you_ going to do?
27436And what make is it?
27436And who are you?
27436And who is this partner up at the canal? 27436 And why did I do it?"
27436And you protected him?
27436And you went?
27436And your memory-- is it inconveniently good?
27436Any of the rest of the boys up?
27436Anything new?
27436Are n''t you looking for them?
27436Are they?
27436Are you alone in the house?
27436Are you sure they were married? 27436 Are you-- do you think you know who the rustler is?"
27436As how?
27436At a signal from father?
27436Because I wo n''t kill you with my own hand? 27436 Been having a little difference of opinion with our friend, have n''t you, seh?"
27436Boone offered no personal indignity to you?
27436But before that?
27436But how could he rob you if he did n''t come out?
27436But if they see you?
27436But what can you do?
27436But what was it you heard?
27436But who do you think it was?
27436But why?
27436But you think I''m not Lieutenant O''Connor of the rangers?
27436But, if you wounded him last night, how could he be trailing you to- day?
27436But-- do you mean that somebody held up the stage?
27436But---- Oh, do n''t you see? 27436 Ca n''t we straighten out this trouble between us, Mr. Lee?
27436Ca n''t you see it is n''t a personal matter? 27436 Caught me doing what?"
27436Confess?
27436Connected with MacQueen''s outfit, maybe?
27436Dead Man''s Cache?
27436Did I dream this too?
27436Did I lay a hand on you?
27436Did I say there were two?
27436Did Jim tell you that?
27436Did Mr. Bellamy kill the man to keep your brother from being killed?
27436Did Mr. Morse want you to drop it?
27436Did he ask for me?
27436Did he get you bad, old man?
27436Did he say that I was a cattle and a stage rustler?
27436Did n''t you see me blot a brand on that calf?
27436Did the paper say whether the money would be turned over?
27436Did you ever ride the range?
27436Did you ever see anything like it?
27436Did you happen on Dead Man''s Cache by accident?
27436Did you hear that, Buck?
27436Did you identify him?
27436Did you know any of the men?
27436Did you leave Mrs. O''Connor and the children well?
27436Did your father buy this sunset with the ranch? 27436 Do I know him?"
27436Do I look like a man who would kill from ambush?
27436Do n''t you carry them in sizes to fit all criminals?
27436Do n''t you reckon we better go up the trail a bit to meet them?
27436Do n''t you see? 27436 Do we?
27436Do you expect to catch MacQueen?
27436Do you figure maybe he''s working up to the headwaters of Dry Sandy?
27436Do you get everything you want?
27436Do you honest think so, Melissy? 27436 Do you know Ferne Yarnell?"
27436Do you know that, if I were to step to that window and call out your name, the whole town would be in arms against you?
27436Do you think some of the Roaring Fork gang did it?
27436Do you think you can force me to stay here?
27436Do? 27436 Does he know about it, honey?"
27436Does he know who the criminals are?
27436Does he live here?
27436Does my age show?
27436Does n''t she understand English?
27436Does that mean you think I''m not Bucky O''Connor?
27436Down by Willow Wash."Who did it?
27436Dropped it and ran, did I? 27436 Find out what?"
27436For God''s sake, Phil, what does this mean?
27436Friend?
27436From what part of the East did you say?
27436From where?
27436Gave it out to throw me off your trail, did you? 27436 Getting right busy, ai n''t they?"
27436Goddlemighty, what''s the matter, Jack?
27436Got a right good look at me, did you?
27436Got hyer on the jump, did n''t you?
27436Have I said I wanted anything?
27436Have n''t I given it to you? 27436 Have n''t you done us enough harm, you and yours?
27436Have n''t you enough of us for one gather?
27436Have you a knife?
27436Have you any in the house?
27436Have you ever seen this MacQueen, Miss Lee?
27436Have you forgotten the calf you left with your brand on it?
27436Have you heard, Daddy?
27436Have you known him long?
27436Have you see anything of''Lissie Lee?
27436Have you seen Phil Norris lately?
27436He reached you after they were out of sight?
27436He''s gone for good, then?
27436How came you here, Melissy?
27436How can I help?
27436How come you here, girl? 27436 How dare you say that?"
27436How dare you? 27436 How did you find out?"
27436How did you find your way in?
27436How did you know? 27436 How did you know?"
27436How do you know I''ll go?
27436How do you know that?
27436How do you know?
27436How do you know?
27436How do you mean it may unravel itself?
27436How do you mean?
27436How in time do you happen to be sheep- herding all by your lone a thousand miles from nowhere, Miss Lee?
27436How long ago?
27436How long since you have eaten?
27436How many air- tights did you say?
27436How many of the hold- ups were there?
27436How should I know?
27436How tall are you,_ muchacha_?
27436How will this do for a beginning, then? 27436 How''s Jack?"
27436I ca n''t be both your friend and your enemy, can I?
27436I can take what''s coming to me, ca n''t I? 27436 I do n''t suppose either of you gentlemen happen to have been down and looked over the ground where the hold- up was?
27436I know that, but-- what about the-- the criminals?
27436I mean-- are you?
27436I said you had the call, did n''t I?
27436I''m a fine father for a gyurl like that, ai n''t I? 27436 If I knew, do you suppose I would tell for five thousand-- or ten thousand?"
27436In time for what?
27436Is Bucky here already?
27436Is Mr. Flatray still here?
27436Is Sit- in- the- Sun her name?
27436Is he a big man?
27436Is it the Galiuros? 27436 Is it worryin''his conscience?
27436Is that all?
27436Is the invalid better?
27436Is this Squire Latimer?
27436It is hard to remember what you never heard, is n''t it?
27436It looks that way, does n''t it?
27436It wo n''t help your reputation, will it?
27436Jogged off your range quite a bit, have n''t you?
27436Just arrived?
27436Just what do you mean, Miss Lee?
27436Keokuk, Indiana?
27436Kept tab on me, did you?
27436Killed lately, ma''am?
27436Known that he was wanted for murder in Arkansas?
27436Laws a mussy, Mistah Flatray, what they done be''n a- doin''to you- all?
27436May I ask if you are Lieutenant O''Connor?
27436May I look-- please?
27436May I speak to you a moment, Miss Lee?
27436Meaning what?
27436Must I?
27436No-- why?
27436Now, I wonder what that means?
27436Oh, is it Iowa?
27436Oh, is it?
27436Ought to get back by midnight, do n''t you reckon? 27436 Outfit?"
27436Picked up any clues yet?
27436Playing on that string again, are you?
27436Preserving it-- how?
27436Servants?
27436Shall we begin at the beginning?
27436So it''s the girl, is it? 27436 So they all escaped, did they?"
27436So you''re going to throw me down, are you?
27436So you''re there, are you?
27436Speaks right out in meeting, do n''t he?
27436That you, Jimmie?
27436The rustler?
27436Then he is back?
27436Then where''s the gold, if he took it? 27436 Then why do n''t you betray my presence?
27436Then you lied to me?
27436Then you wo n''t arrest her?
27436Then-- what shall we do?
27436There were four of them, you say?
27436They do n''t, eh? 27436 Think I''m a buzzard head?
27436Think so, Bob?
27436This shorely beats hell, do n''t it?
27436Tom Morse is a good name, do n''t you think? 27436 Trouble for him or for me?"
27436Was he violent to West? 27436 Was it very bad?"
27436Was there only one man? 27436 Was?"
27436Well?
27436Well?
27436What about Mr. Flatray? 27436 What about this stage robbery?
27436What about?
27436What am I to tell them your name is?
27436What are you doing here?
27436What are you doing?
27436What are you going to do with me?
27436What are you sending them out for, then?
27436What can I do for you, Miss Lee?
27436What chance?
27436What devil''s work is this?
27436What did I do?
27436What did Mr. Morse say when you made your report?
27436What did you say his name was?
27436What do I care about that?
27436What do you mean, Jim?
27436What do you mean?
27436What do you mean?
27436What do you mean?
27436What do you take me for? 27436 What do you think?"
27436What do you want with me? 27436 What do you want with me?"
27436What do you want with us?
27436What do you want?
27436What for?
27436What for?
27436What for?
27436What girl?
27436What happened to him?
27436What has this to do with the hold- up?
27436What have you done with Jack Flatray?
27436What is it,''Lissie? 27436 What is it?"
27436What is that paper?
27436What is that? 27436 What kept you, Daddy?"
27436What kind of a figure do I make in this? 27436 What kind of a lookin''guy was he?"
27436What made you think so?
27436What more have you heard about the stage robbery?
27436What reasons?
27436What shall I do? 27436 What sort of a job?"
27436What sort of work have you done?
27436What was I doing?
27436What was I to do with her, Mr. Buttinski? 27436 What will you do?"
27436What would you say if I told you that she''s liable to go to Yuma if I lift my hand?
27436What you been doing in there, seh?
27436What''s ailin''you, girl? 27436 What''s eatin''you, man?"
27436What''s got into you?
27436What''s that? 27436 What''s that?"
27436What''s the hurry, little girl?
27436What''s the matter with you, girl? 27436 What''s the matter with you?"
27436What''s the matter, Jim? 27436 What''s the use of being so hostile, little girl?"
27436What''s the use of keeping it up? 27436 What''s the use?
27436What''s this-- what''s this, Hank?
27436What''s up?
27436What''s up?
27436What''s your play? 27436 What-- what do you mean?"
27436What-- what do you reckon it was, Jeff?
27436When did he do that?
27436When?
27436Where are the others-- Mr. Farnum and Sam? 27436 Where are your pals bound for?"
27436Where did you come from? 27436 Where did you say you wrangled Mary''s little lamb?"
27436Where do you reckon he had this printed?
27436Where is Hop?
27436Where were you thinking of going?
27436Where''s Jack?
27436Where''s O''Connor?
27436Where?
27436Which way did they go?
27436Which way?
27436Who are you?
27436Who are you?
27436Who did he kill?
27436Who did that?
27436Who do you mean?
27436Who in Arizona are you?
27436Who is he?
27436Who killed him?
27436Who''s our hurried friend?
27436Who? 27436 Whom do you suspect?"
27436Whose outfit?
27436Why are you so sure?
27436Why ca n''t we both ride?
27436Why could n''t you? 27436 Why did n''t the real Lieutenant O''Connor arrive to expose you?"
27436Why did n''t you get here sooner?
27436Why do I do it?
27436Why do n''t you?
27436Why do you ask?
27436Why in the world did n''t you boys waken me? 27436 Why not?
27436Why not?
27436Why should I be glad? 27436 Why should n''t he be?"
27436Why, unless because they needed water?
27436Why, what''s up, boys?
27436Why?
27436Will you leave me, sir?
27436Will you never understand that I hate and detest you?
27436Will you wait on Mr. Norris, dad? 27436 With my brand on it?"
27436With the Roaring Fork gang?
27436Wo n''t ever snitch?
27436Wo n''t people say that you failed on this case?
27436Wo n''t you introduce us to your friends, Bellamy?
27436Would n''t it be a good idea to offer a reward, though, to keep things warm?
27436Would you recognize him again if you met him? 27436 Yes, well what is it you saw with your eyes?"
27436Yes?
27436You are not Lieutenant O''Connor?
27436You did n''t hurt him... any more?
27436You did?
27436You do n''t believe me?
27436You do n''t want me to lie down before Dunc Boone, do you?
27436You found the gold? 27436 You guessed it the first day?"
27436You had one chance at him, did n''t you?
27436You heard what my father said?
27436You here,''Lissie Lee?
27436You know Mr. Bellamy then?
27436You know the way in?
27436You mean that he is fierce and bloodthirsty?
27436You say Jack found out all about it, honey?
27436You want to find the way into Dead Man''s Cache, señor?
27436You wo n''t get father into trouble will you?
27436You would figure he was under big obligations to the men that did this for him-- wouldn''t you? 27436 You would murder me?"
27436You''re coming back again, are you?
27436You''re from the East?
27436You''re helping her out now, ai n''t you?
27436You''re sure he is n''t badly hurt?
27436You''re willing to pay, are you?
27436Your father submitted my proposition, did he?
27436Your father?
27436Your partner?
27436Ai n''t that a fine reputation for him to be giving the Bar Double G?
27436Ai n''t you boys got ary bettah sense than to clinch like wildcats?"
27436Am I right?
27436An unexpected pleasure, is n''t it?"
27436And did you see him?"
27436And has he got a guarantee that it will perform every night?"
27436And have you the sheep all gagged?"
27436And naïvely she added with a little laugh:"Are you ready to put the handcuffs on me yet?"
27436And what could be more romantic than a love match with such a fascinating villain?
27436And what did you do?"
27436And while I think of it-- have you seen to- day''s paper?"
27436And why?
27436And yet-- and yet---- Was it so impossible, after all?
27436And you?"
27436Any objections?"
27436Are n''t you going to play square with me?"
27436Are they hunting you?
27436Are you going to send me home?"
27436Are you making any progress?
27436Are you ready to go yet?"
27436Are you sure?"
27436Been hurt?"
27436Before the stir which this produced had died away, Flatray flashed a question:"In exchange for my life?"
27436Born and brought up there?"
27436Brought you back to do what, honey?"
27436But how could he be, since he was completely cloaked in darkness?
27436But how could one play up effectively to a chill silence which took no note of him, to a depression of the soul which would not let itself be lifted?
27436But was it a star?
27436But what after that?
27436But what do you know about my life?
27436But what''s your complaint?
27436But why?"
27436By the way, what are their names?"
27436By whom?"
27436C''n you keep a secret?"
27436CHAPTER XIII OLD ACQUAINTANCES"You wanted to see me?"
27436Could I send her home?
27436Could such things be?
27436Did Rosario tell you?"
27436Did he ask you to lay an information against her?"
27436Did he say anything?"
27436Did she love him?
27436Did you leave it here, daddy?"
27436Did you sleep well?
27436Did your father used to play with you too when he was a boy?"
27436Do n''t you know I''m now half past eighteen?"
27436Do n''t you know he''s sheriff?
27436Do n''t you see he does?"
27436Do n''t you see, I''ve got to do it?"
27436Do n''t you see?
27436Do n''t you see?
27436Do n''t you see?
27436Do you know I was n''t justified?"
27436Do you need a church to fall on you before you can take a hint?"
27436Do you remember capturing Tony Chaves two years ago, lieutenant?"
27436Do you think I would have brought you to Dead Man''s Cache if I had intended you to go away alive?
27436Do you think I''m afraid of you?
27436Do you think it likely that he would confess?"
27436Ever see an Arizona peach, Mr. West?
27436Flatray?"
27436Had he intended anything by that last drawling remark of his in the store?
27436Had she done wrong?
27436Has n''t he been hunting us for a week?"
27436Has the throbbing gone out of the ankle?"
27436Have n''t I treated you white so far?"
27436Have you caught MacQueen himself?"
27436Have you got him located too?"
27436Have you heard from your father since he set out?"
27436Have you run down any of the band?
27436He''s married, is he?
27436He''s the sheriff?"
27436Her groan touched his vanity, or was it perhaps his pity?
27436Holding an executive session, are you?"
27436How could a girl marry a man she did n''t care for and did n''t respect?"
27436How could a man have got lost near Mammoth and wandered here?
27436How could he be so hard and cruel, this man who had once been her best friend?
27436How could he stand there so like a machine in his relentlessness?
27436How could one so sensitive have done a wanton cruel thing like this?
27436How could she explain that she could not touch hands with him because she had robbed him of twenty thousand dollars?
27436How dared he look at her with those cool, gray eyes that still appeared to bore a hole through treachery?
27436How did she come there?"
27436How do you know they were father''s?"
27436How do you like Arizona by this time?
27436How many of them?"
27436How much did he know?
27436How under heaven had Melissy won his life for him?
27436How would T. L. Morse do?"
27436How would this do?
27436How?
27436How?"
27436I did n''t mention matrimony, did I?"
27436I''ve been wanting to say''How d''ye do?''
27436If I did how was I to fix it so I could go to Mesa when it''s necessary till we get this ransom business arranged?"
27436If I find you work at my father''s ranch would you be too particular about what it is?"
27436If this man were a waddy, who of all her friends could she trust?
27436If you wo n''t take this yourself, why not let me make out the papers to Miss Lee?
27436Illustration:"WHO ARE YOU?"
27436Injure him?"
27436Is Flatray the man?"
27436Is Mayor Lee at home?"
27436Is he one of them?"
27436Is it for my life?"
27436Is n''t it----?"
27436Is that all?"
27436Is that it?"
27436Is that it?"
27436Is that right?"
27436Is there anything I can do for you?"
27436Is your father here?"
27436It ai n''t safe to come nearer-- is it, old Sit- in- the- Sun?"
27436Just taking a little stroll?"
27436Lee?"
27436MacQueen turned O''Connor loose, did he?"
27436Melissy could not contain the question that trembled on her lips:"Do you know them?"
27436Morse?"
27436No?
27436Norris?"
27436Now, who do you reckon put it there?"
27436Now, why one on each side, do you reckon?"
27436Now, why?"
27436Or are you just saying it to take the sting away?
27436Or should he talk her out of this harsh mood?
27436Plum proverdenshul, I draps into my room des as yore paw wus sayin'',''Twenty thousand dollars goin''down to the Fort on the stage to- day?''
27436Say,''ve you heard about the sheriff?"
27436See?"
27436Shall I go rope you one and bring him in,_ compadre_?"
27436She had to moisten her lips before she could ask the next question:"You-- killed him?"
27436Should he rush her defenses, bury her protests in kisses?
27436That ad did n''t do a mite of good, did it?"
27436That ca n''t do any harm, can it?"
27436That''s enough, ai n''t it?"
27436That''s the play, is it?
27436That''s why?"
27436The outlaw murmured sleepily,"How''s that, Dunc?
27436Then why did she distrust him?
27436Then, with a swift blaze of feeling,"What''s the use of pretending?
27436They rode up to the house, and the first thing that met them was the candid question of the girl:"Have you heard, Daddy?"
27436Think I ai n''t wise to your whole record?
27436Think I do n''t know you''ve been trying to manufacture evidence against me as a rustler?
27436Think after so many years of absence- makes- the- heart- grow- fonder you''re going to trample over me like I was a kid?
27436Understand?"
27436Want to cut in, do you?
27436Was he being watched all the time?
27436Was it because you heard I was in Arizona that you came here?"
27436Was it love?
27436Was it possible a man like that could live?
27436Was that not fair?
27436Well?"
27436Were you the driver?"
27436West?"
27436What about this?"
27436What are they doing here, sheriff?"
27436What can I do to save him?"
27436What could he discover from the evidence she had left?
27436What could it mean?
27436What could it mean?
27436What did it matter whether she was good- looking?
27436What did it mean, that passionate fierceness with which her lips had clung to his?
27436What do you intend to do about it?
27436What do you know about what I''ve had to fight against?
27436What has all that to do with me?"
27436What have I done?"
27436What have you done now?"
27436What is it?
27436What ought those men to have done to him, Miss''Lissie?"
27436What shall I do?"
27436What time is it, anyhow?"
27436What was there in his nature that turned people against him so inevitably?
27436What would you say?"
27436What''s it all about?
27436What''s the matter with my going ahead and settling the thing?
27436What''s this?"
27436When they try to talk you out of it you wo n''t give in?"
27436Where are you, Norris?"
27436Where did he go?"
27436Where had he gone?
27436Where is he?"
27436Where is it?"
27436Where''s your horse?"
27436Where?"
27436Who are you?"
27436Who could have sent it?
27436Who else would dare do such a thing?"
27436Who made you a judge about these facts?
27436Who more likely than Jack to have done this?
27436Who was he?"
27436Who were you working for?"
27436Who would want to rob it?"
27436Who''s major domo of this outfit?"
27436Why did he jump for the sandhills soon as the word came to arrest him?"
27436Why did her heart convict her of having deserted a friend, when she knew that the desertion was his?
27436Why did nobody answer the barking of the dogs?
27436Why did you send for me?"
27436Why do n''t you call your friends in to take me?"
27436Why do n''t you compromise?
27436Why for did he run away?
27436Why had she left that running iron as evidence to convict its owner?
27436Why not?
27436Why should she think of him?
27436Why under heaven had she done it?
27436Why was it that his careless, half insulting familiarity set the blood leaping through her like wine?
27436Why was there fear in her sober second thought of him?
27436Why?"
27436Why?"
27436Whyfor did you bring her?"
27436Will it be worth while to wait for them?"
27436Will you be glad to see me?"
27436Will you shake hands on that, Miss Lee?"
27436Wo n''t you sit down?"
27436Wo n''t you walk down to the train with us?"
27436Would n''t it be a good thing for me to tie up with a fine, straight- up young lady like you?
27436You and Hop Ling been quarrelling again?"
27436You are Miss Lee, I take it?"
27436You do n''t allow I''m going to let any rustler dictate to me what I''ll do and what I won''t-- do you?"
27436You do n''t allow the devil could have come for him sudden-- do you, Jeff?"
27436You do n''t figure he''s aiming to throw us down-- do you, Buck?"
27436You do n''t think, do you, that they will do Mr. West any harm, if their price is not paid?
27436You get the beauty of it, my friend, do n''t you?
27436You here?"
27436You mean the Arkansas charge against me?"
27436You meant to give the money back, did n''t you?"
27436You think this is his work?"
27436You''ll find that break mark every eight feet or so in the sand wash.""I opened the head- gates, then, did I?"
27436You''ll keep faith?"
27436You''re going with me?"
27436You''ve got a devil of a temper, have n''t you?"
27436_ Sabe_?"
27436_ Savez?_""And wipe out the wheel- marks in the sand.
27436she cried, and on the heels of her exclamation:"What''s the matter with you?
27436you slipped through, did you?"
4748A fox? 4748 A messenger?"
4748And now-- would you shoot him, or let him lie there and die by inches, as the devil should?
4748And-- Nepeese?
4748Black, you say?
4748But it''s a bit of fun, after all-- an''I''ve got to hit the line of rail before I can get over to the mountains, so what''s the difference? 4748 But where did Baree go, mon pere?"
4748Coming, Boy?
4748Dead, Ookimow Jeem?
4748Did he not bear some dog mark?
4748Do you care if I play with you?
4748Government?
4748I guess you wo n''t try the biting game again, eh, youngster? 4748 I have come in time?"
4748Is it not true, m''sieu?
4748Is it possible-- that she smiles from her heart at that beast? 4748 M''sieu expects me to bring her?"
4748So you''re a trap robber, eh? 4748 What has happened, mon pere?"
4748What shall I tell him?
4748A good line, eh?
4748A shot on a lonely trap line, a single knife thrust-- and who would know?
4748A trap robber, eh?
4748After all, was he not glad?
4748After all, was not his power sufficient?
4748An OUTLAW?
4748An outlaw?
4748And a dozen times he asked, in a wondering sort of way,"Now what the deuce made you do that, old chap?
4748And what right, you may ask, has a confessed slaughterer of wild life such as I have been to complain?
4748And-- WHY NOT?
4748Are you bound that way, M''sieu?"
4748Are you hitting for his trap line, to get even?
4748But Umisk, and Beaver Tooth, and all the others?
4748But for hours Pierrot was still, thinking, and a hundred times he asked himself that same question: Why had McTaggart sent for him?
4748But to old Tuboa the trees might have whispered, WHY NOT TONIGHT?
4748But what had she to fear?
4748DO YOU LOVE ME, KA SAKAHET?"
4748Did I not tell you that?
4748Did he belong to them?
4748Did you ever want to howl, an''did n''t dare?
4748Eh, what do you say to the bargain?"
4748Eh?"
4748Now he said, with his eyes on Baree:"God save us, but you''ve got the poor devil in a right proper mess, have n''t you?"
4748OR WAS IT BAREE?
4748Or he might have been saying to Gray Wolf:"Well, we''ve got the little rascal out of that windfall at last, have n''t we?"
4748Or shall I?"
4748So he said, making his voice quite casual:"You are n''t going, are you, old chap?"
4748So-- was it not possible that this youngster she and her father had pursued was of the flesh and blood of her mother''s pet?
4748Understand?
4748Want to know what happened?"
4748Was he not the Factor of Lac Bain?
4748Was it a fishercat?
4748Was it a lynx?
4748Was it a wolf or a fox?
4748Was it like this that the first woman had looked to Kazan?
4748Was it the wind?
4748What had he done that they did n''t want to make friends with him?
4748What have YOU got against the wolves?"
4748What was it stirring him?
4748What was it that came to him with the perfumes of the forests and the green meadow?
4748What was it?
4748What was the use of hanging around where there were wolves, on a beautiful night like this?
4748What was there in the air?
4748What''s YOUR opinion?
4748Where was the danger he could neither see nor smell?
4748Who would guess where Pierrot had gone?
4748Why had Bush McTaggart sent for HIM?
4748Why had Umisk and his little mates run away from him?
4748Why had he not chosen some one nearer?
4748Why was he there?
4748Why was it that he trembled now as he stood there?
4748Will you?
4748Would even Pierrot dare stand up against that?
4748Would he find them?
4748Would he go-- now?
4748Would he try that again?
4748Would his heart not have turned sick if she had been happy at the thought of leaving him?
4748Would not the company and the law believe his word before that of this girl?
4748Would the dog respond to the call of the pack?
33039''And what are we going to do now?'' 33039 ''Are you Mr. Fisher''s hired man?''
33039''But ai n''t you going to take my luggage?'' 33039 ''But what''ll you use?''
33039''Is he dead?'' 33039 ''Oh, he did n''t?''
33039''Stop what?'' 33039 ''Then what are they?''
33039''Where is he?'' 33039 ''Why, wo n''t that stop a bear?''
33039Ai n''t there any more boxes?
33039Ai n''t you a little leary about letting''em come out here while the Apaches are out?
33039An''why? 33039 An''yu want yore d----d neck stretched, do yu?"
33039And I told you, did n''t I? 33039 And for God''s sake, who stepped on your face?"
33039And go and drive all of them sheep over the bank?
33039And have to shoot them to keep them from shooting him?
33039And you will arrange to have The Orphan with them, wo n''t you?
33039And you''ll promise not to spoil any more tins, or terrorize that poor outfit, or burn any more corrals, and everything like that?
33039Any particular reason why you call him Lightning, or is it just irony?
33039Any particular thing you want, or are you just practicing a short cut to eternity?
33039Anything else yu wants?
33039Are we there already?
33039Are you Sheriff''s sister, ma''am?
33039Are you The Orphan?
33039Are you still curious?
33039Are you the foreman of the Star C?
33039Ask him, why do n''t you?
33039Broken your word-- to me?
33039Bucknell?
33039But have you thought of what all this might develop into?
33039But she shore does look new, do n''t she? 33039 But since yore so unholy strong on th''palaver, suppose yu just explains why yu are so all- fired friendly to Th''Orphant?
33039But suppose you look away once in a while? 33039 But what am I going to do?"
33039But what under the sun have they got on it? 33039 But you ai n''t sore at the way I asked, are you?
33039But, pshaw, who will give me a try in this country?
33039But, then, it could have been much worse, very much worse, could n''t it?
33039But, thunderation, how would he hurt you by shooting at us?
33039Ca n''t you do something, James?
33039Come on, Jerry, think you''re glued to the earth? 33039 Cook got''em again?"
33039Did he come, or was he kidnapped?
33039Did he?
33039Did you ever hear tell of the dog that retrieved a lighted dynamite cartridge?
33039Did you notice the new flower- bed right by the side of the house as you ran past it a while ago?
33039Did you say Orphant? 33039 Did you see that?"
33039Do n''t be all day about it, Windy,he cried;"who is he?"
33039Do n''t that look sumptious, though? 33039 Do you mean that, Sheriff?"
33039Do you reckon I''d leave him and that d-----d Chink all alone together, you sheep?
33039Do you reckon that train is going to tie up and wait for you, hey? 33039 Do you see''em?"
33039Do you think you could shoot me?
33039Do yu know who that feller is?
33039Do_ you_ like apricot pie, and gingerbread and_ real_ coffee?
33039Feel the pain?
33039Gee, what''s in it?
33039Going to take Lightning with you, Humble?
33039Got any message for your folks? 33039 Got any more of them new words to spring on us?"
33039Have you trailed him?
33039He ai n''t nobody''s fool, eh, Sis?
33039He ai n''t, ai n''t he?
33039He ai n''t, ai n''t he?
33039He ca n''t follow us, ca n''t he?
33039Hear the little devils clink, eh? 33039 Hey, Tom, what time do we leave?"
33039Him? 33039 Honest, you wo n''t hurt him?"
33039How about the time they beat out them Apaches?
33039How are you going to carry him, Humble-- like a papoose?
33039How are you, hey?
33039How big was it, anyhow, Jim?
33039How can I?
33039How could I have fastened the bandage, sister dear?
33039How could he do that?
33039How could they do it? 33039 How do you do?"
33039How in thunder did he get so far west? 33039 How is it that you''ve got a Cross Bar-8 cayuse?"
33039How is the sheriff?
33039How many names do you think he''s got, anyhow? 33039 How soon are they due to land?"
33039How was the sheriff last night?
33039How''d you get it-- Sharps?
33039How''s that for a change, eh? 33039 Hullo, what is it?"
33039I put them blankets up on top, Mrs. Shields, is it all right? 33039 I reckon it will; fool punchers, for instance?"
33039I''ll save it all up for some other time, some time when he ai n''t around to turn it off, eh? 33039 I''m a fine sight to hit Sagetown, ai n''t I?"
33039I''m running the law end of the game and I''ll keep right on running it as I d----d please while I''m called sheriff, understand?
33039Is this the stage which runs to Ford''s Station?
33039It could n''t, hey? 33039 Look at something else, see?"
33039Looking for strays, or is it mavericks?
33039Looking for the sheriff?
33039Matter?
33039May I keep it for a while longer?
33039Me what?
33039Mebby he wanted''em all to himself, eh?
33039Must be the joker of the feast, eh?
33039New wheel?
33039No, but I heard it-- was they one or six?
33039No? 33039 Now that I know that you are some rational, suppose you tell me the joke?
33039Now,_ is n''t_ that just like a man?
33039Oh, he did, did he?
33039Oh, it''s a missing herd this time, is it?
33039Oh, there was, hey?
33039Oh, yore a whole lot smart, now ai n''t you?
33039Oh, yu do n''t, an''yore still cheeky, eh?
33039Or did n''t you notice, being too much occupied in your claim?
33039Playing life- saver, eh?
33039Punching for the Star C, eh? 33039 Seen th''dlog?"
33039Seen th''dlog?
33039Seen your old friend Tex lately?
33039Son, why do n''t you get a job punching cows, or something, and quit your d----d foolishness?
33039Sore? 33039 Sore?"
33039Sort of continuing the little nap you was taking when he roped you, eh?
33039Still going to take Lightning with you, Humble?
33039Suppose that train should run off the track some day, what would they do, hey?
33039Suppose you take Lee Lung and leave the dog here?
33039Tex?
33039That so?
33039The dog just would n''t mind, and he was only a snarling, no- account cur at that, was n''t he?
33039Then where are we, for goodness''sake?
33039There''s Smith, Brown, Jones-- Jones sounds well, why not say it?
33039Travois?
33039Was that th''d----d Orphant? 33039 Was you counting?"
33039We''re regular land pirates, ai n''t we?
33039We''ve been doing our best, but what good is it?
33039Well, I pinched you, did n''t I?
33039Well, Sheriff, how''s the boy?
33039Well, how would a four do?
33039Well, what about them?
33039Well, what do you say to crib?
33039Well, what''s new? 33039 Well, what''s the trouble now?"
33039Well, you asked me, did n''t you?
33039Well, you has n''t got no kick coming, has you?
33039What about it?
33039What are you doing, anyhow?
33039What are you talking about?
33039What cattle is that, Charley?
33039What did he ever catch except fleas and the mange?
33039What did your men say when they saw him? 33039 What do you mean?"
33039What do you reckon his legs are for? 33039 What do you think of him, Tom?"
33039What have they got fastened to that horse?
33039What have you done since I told you to behave yourself?
33039What have you to tell me?
33039What in all get out does Sneed want with any Star C cows?
33039What in h-- l do you think I''d be lying about him for? 33039 What in thunder do you want?"
33039What is it, gold or silver?
33039What is it-- what have you done?
33039What is it?
33039What is your fighting weight?
33039What shall it be this time-- pinochle or crib?
33039What the devil made you ventilate them sheep herders that way?
33039What was it, Injuns?
33039What was it?
33039What was that, and who done it?
33039What''s eating you? 33039 What''s eating you?"
33039What''s that got to do with this?
33039What''s that travois doing with you, then?
33039What''s the matter between you and Lightning, Lee?
33039What''s the matter with you, anyhow?
33039What''s the matter?
33039What''s the sheriff up to now? 33039 What''s the trouble?"
33039What''s up, anything?
33039What?
33039Whatever you have done in the past, you will give them no cause to say such things in the future, will you? 33039 Where are my five punchers?"
33039Where will it end, between war- whoops and murders? 33039 Where''ll I find Lee Lung?"
33039Where''ll I get men, and what''ll I do''til I do get''em?
33039Where''s my cayuse, yu law- coyote?
33039Where''s my cayuse?
33039Where''s the rest of the gang?
33039Where''s the rest of''em?
33039Where?
33039Who are you to stick me up and ask questions? 33039 Who asked you for talk, hey?
33039Who was_ that? 33039 Why are n''t you in the house paying your respects to your hostess?"
33039Why are yu an''Th''Orphant so d----d thick? 33039 Why did n''t you kill''em, the d----d fools?"
33039Why do n''t you have him stuffed, Humble?
33039Why do you ask? 33039 Why not try Blake, of the Star C?"
33039Why, Bill,exclaimed Blake, a twinkle coming to his eyes,"you are not allowing yourself to get captured, are you?
33039Why?
33039Will you mind putting those baskets on the coach, William? 33039 Wo n''t you be seated?"
33039Wo n''t you come in?
33039Wonder what my wife''ll say?
33039Would n''t he drink yore slush? 33039 Yes?"
33039Yes?
33039Yore a whole lot sassy an''smart,_ ai n''t_ yu? 33039 Yore real pert, now_ ai n''t_ yu?"
33039You ai n''t sore, are you?
33039You dear, silly goose, do you think I am worrying about him? 33039 You ought to give''em all a good thrashing, they need it,"replied the sheriff, and then he asked:"Got any paper, and a pencil?"
33039You remember the time we had that killing out there, do n''t you?
33039You said you wanted me, did n''t you? 33039 You''re all right, Orphant, but will you be sure next time?
33039You''re shore all right, you are, and I''m your deputy, ai n''t I?
33039You''re some sore about that day when I cleaned up all your cush at poker, ai n''t you? 33039 ''I''d be a royal American idiot to say a thing like that, now, would n''t I?''
33039A crafty look came to Jack Lawson''s face and he turned to The Orphan:"Has Bill Howland got his cigars yet?"
33039Ai n''t had time to get over it, have you?
33039Ai n''t it fine?"
33039Ai n''t one enough?"
33039Ai n''t she a winner, hey?
33039Ai n''t they smart cusses, though?
33039Ai n''t you man enough to turn the trick alone, Williard?
33039And stewed tomatoes?
33039And then, this is ever so much nicer than our first meeting, is n''t it?
33039And you really think differently?"
33039And you would n''t go for it?"
33039Any keep- sakes you''d like to have sent back East?
33039Any of your nose coming out the back of your head yet?
33039Are you coming?"
33039Are you fair to me to class me as an enemy, just because my brother is the sheriff?"
33039Are you satisfied on the Star C, and do you like your work and your companions?"
33039As long as the hostesses are four and insist on not being together, how can I pay my respects all at once?"
33039Bill looked up aggressively:"Fighting weight?"
33039Blake interrupted him:"War party that he sent north to meet you?"
33039Blake picked up the cards again:"Do you want to cut again?"
33039Bucknell straightened up and staggered past the sheriff to where The Orphan stood:"You done that, but it''s all right, ai n''t it?"
33039But I suppose you reckon yu''ll stop me, hey?"
33039But how in thunder do you know about my claim?
33039But it_ is_ too bad that nobody cares anything about him, is n''t it, Helen?"
33039But only as long as you do not displease me, and you will not do that, will you?
33039But say, what do you think of the sheriff''s sister, Helen?
33039But suppose you scratch it for me, hey?
33039But what good is it, what can we do when our cayuses are so dod- gasted tired that they ca n''t catch a tumble bug?
33039But what''s he going to do out there, anyhow?"
33039But you let his trail religiously alone, do you hear?"
33039But, honest, how did you get that face?"
33039Ca n''t I scratch it, just once?"
33039Ca n''t you stop them?"
33039Can I be blamed for treating him white and square when he''s done so much for me?
33039Can you imagine the sheriff using poison to kill a man?
33039Catch that?"
33039Could he possibly be guilty of the murders ascribed to him?
33039Did n''t I say his name is Tom Davis?"
33039Did n''t take it with them, eh?"
33039Did n''t you ask me to, you chump?"
33039Did n''t you, Easy?"
33039Did not The Orphan know that Shields was after him, and that the sheriff was no man to be taken lightly when he had shown mercy near the big bowlder?
33039Did you ever notice how long it takes a grizzly to die?
33039Did you ever trail anybody that used padded- leather footpads on his cayuse''s feet, and that went on a walk, picking out the hardest ground?
33039Did you see him try to horn me when I let go?"
33039Do I look easy?
33039Do n''t be all day about it?"
33039Do n''t wait all day, neither, do yu hear?
33039Do n''t you Helen?"
33039Do n''t you know I love you?"
33039Do they know who he is?"
33039Do you know where he is?"
33039Do you know who did it?"
33039Do you still want me?"
33039Do you think you are so d----d important that they wo n''t pull out unless you''re on hand?
33039Funny how a little paint will change things, now ai n''t it?
33039Good Lord, how hungry I am-- wish I had eaten that breakfast this morning-- how in thunder did I know we was going to be so late?
33039Good Lord, what can you expect?
33039Got enough?"
33039Had any trouble lately?"
33039Has anything happened to him in this awful country?"
33039He looked deep into her eyes and then suddenly bent his head until his lips touched her ear:"Helen, darling,"he whispered,"how long must I wait?"
33039He thrilled with a peculiar elation, for was he not playing his hand against death?
33039Him Th''Orphant?
33039How about that herd of cattle you spoke of?"
33039How are things?
33039How did you know what I meant?
33039How do you do, Miss Helen, any more freight?"
33039How do you expect me to know anything about it?
33039How in h-- l can I help liking him?
33039How in h-- l did they go and mess up with Apaches?
33039How''ll I get back to th''ranch?"
33039How''ll I get home?
33039How''ll I hunt him now?
33039How''ll that do?''
33039How''s The Orphan getting on out at your place?"
33039How''s that for a change, eh?"
33039How''s things?"
33039Humble turned to The Orphan in an appealing way:"Did you ever see so many d----d fools all at once?"
33039Humorous kid, was n''t he, shooting up the ranch with its own guns and cartridges?
33039I am sure you have not done wrong-- and if you have-- don''t you know I love you, boy?
33039I guess we ai n''t going to be well fed, and real happy, eh, fellows?
33039I know he ca n''t follow the gait we''ll hit up for thirty miles, so I just naturally asked,_ sabe?
33039I''m sure that The Orphan does n''t think me lacking in dignity, does he?"
33039In the absence of the sheriff had he renewed the war?
33039Is he going to have a picnic out on Crawford''s ranch?
33039Is it a go?"
33039Is yore friend some bashful?"
33039It will be a lesson to the rest of the bullies of the Cross Bar-8--and small loss to the community at large, eh, Charley?"
33039It will really and truly be mine on that condition, wo n''t it?
33039It''s all right now, ai n''t it?
33039Lynch me, eh?
33039Lynch me, would you?
33039Must be coffee and tea, hey?
33039Must be somethin''in it for somebody, eh?"
33039My very own if I do not forfeit it?"
33039No?
33039Now, I''ll try it again: I''m sure that The Orphan( I said that real nicely, did n''t I?)
33039Now, do n''t you think you should hurry in and greet my sister- in- law?"
33039Now, suppose yu tell th''truth before we drag it outen yu-- who is he?"
33039Now, that was not right, do you see?
33039Oh, no, and you wo n''t hurt him neither, will you?"
33039Perhaps, but what of it?
33039Playing cook?"
33039Say, Jim,"he exclaimed,"can I tell them what you said about him to- night?
33039See her hair-- fine and dandy, eh?
33039Seen Tex and the other three?
33039She pities him, and what do the books say about pity?"
33039She turned to her companions with a gesture of despair:"Is n''t it awful,"she asked,"what a terrible thing drinking is?
33039Shields poured himself a cup of coffee and then glanced at the clock:"Too late for a game, Tom?"
33039Shields?"
33039Should he fight to the end?
33039Sicked your dogs on me, eh?
33039Spring something that has n''t got whiskers and a halting step, will you?"
33039Tell it to him, why do n''t you?"
33039The A- Y is a good place for one, ai n''t it?"
33039The clerk showed interest and awe:"Weight?"
33039The clerk tossed aside the paper and stared:"Well, that''s too d----d bad, now ai n''t it?"
33039The first thing that hits me when I come home is,''Have you seen The Orphan?''
33039The horseman flecked the ashes from his cigarette and smiled:"Well?"
33039Then he stopped and slowly turned and saw The Orphan smiling at him, and grinned:"Say,"he began,"why ca n''t I go around?"
33039Then he turned to his tormentor:"You has allus got something to say about my business, ai n''t you, hey?"
33039Then she looked from him to her hand:"Will you not shake hands with me?
33039There ai n''t no crime in asking about that, is there?
33039Tried to hit me when I was tied, eh?
33039Want to borrow some?"
33039Was he capable of the inhumanity which had made his name a synonym of terror?
33039Was he going to die?
33039Was it The Orphan again?
33039Was it possible that this handsome, confident stripling was his peer?
33039Was they yours?"
33039Was you tickling it?
33039Well, do we part?"
33039What did he know about ranching, anyhow?
33039What do you say, Tom?"
33039What do you say?"
33039What do you think of that, eh?
33039What have you got?"
33039What in h-- l do you think I am?
33039What in thunder is all this artillery saluting me for?"
33039What interest has th''sheriff an''Th''Orphant in each other?
33039What luggage?''
33039What right has anybody to keep quiet about their own business when you want to know, hey?
33039What sort of a God- forsaken layout is this, anyhow?
33039What was Tex doing there on the ground?
33039What would you do for a living if I forgot to bring the paper with me some day, hey?
33039What''s the matter, Silent?"
33039What''s the secret?
33039What''s the use of wasting time?"
33039What''s your pet psalm, sonny?
33039What, cranberry jam?
33039Where do you suppose it has gone?
33039Where do you suppose you lost it, dear?
33039White men would a told you just what you are if you asked them to help you in your dirty work, would n''t they?
33039Who skinned his shin?
33039Who would be so foolish as to ride up to those lighted windows unless he was a tenderfoot?
33039Why could he not have overlooked one lynching party when property was being destroyed and lives in danger?
33039Why did he keep to his determination to allow no lynch law when the evil was so great and the danger so pressing?
33039Why did n''t you bring some decent men with you, you flat- faced skunks?
33039Why did yu help Th''Orphant?
33039Why do n''t th''sheriff get busy an''camp on his trail?
33039Why do n''t you choke it out of him, wipe up the earth with him?
33039Why do you waste time with him?
33039Why in h-- l do n''t you quit chinning and get started?"
33039Why should The Orphan risk his splendid berth on the A- Y, his prospects now rich in promise, to work off any lingering hatred?
33039Why was he so firm against the assistance of the ranchmen?
33039Why was the sheriff so apparently reluctant to take up the chase in earnest and push it to a finish?
33039Why, I can remember when-----""Much mail nowadays?"
33039Why?"
33039Why?"
33039Why?"
33039Why?"
33039Will that be time enough for you to make any arrangements you may want to make?"
33039Will you do what I said?"
33039Wo n''t I do, or do you insist on talking to a hired man?
33039Wo n''t you let me see you shoot, some day?"
33039Wonder how many he will get before he goes under?"
33039Wonder if there''s apricot pie in this one?"
33039Worth a kiss?"
33039Yes?
33039You do n''t want me to do all the talking, do you?"
33039You remember him, do n''t you, Tom?
33039You will justify him in his own mind and in the minds of his acquaintances and prove that he has not erred in judgment, wo n''t you?"
33039You will leave it all behind you and get work, and not be an outlaw any more, wo n''t you?
33039You will prove my faith in you, for I_ have_ faith in you, wo n''t you?
33039You''re blamed smart, now ai n''t you?
33039cried Helen, reproachfully,"how can you say that?
33039eagerly cried Charley,"why ca n''t we handle a herd of chickens out on the ranch, and have a garden?
33039he cried,"did you hear what Humble said?
33039or,''Have you heard anything about him?''
33039there had been Indians, or was it some other time?
34996A pock- marked greaser with a bad eye?
34996Ah, Lucy, is that you?
34996Ai n''t she a beaut?
34996And are n''t you afraid there will be another flood that will destroy all these houses and perhaps kill a great many people?
34996And are n''t you going to let me into the secret?
34996And his younger brother?
34996And the woman''s charge?
34996Are they dead?
34996Are you after the steer, José?
34996Are you crazy, Curt?
34996Are you frightened, dearest?
34996Are you speaking the truth, José?
34996Betty Brown, do you see that red mark yonder?
34996Brown Betty? 34996 But do n''t the men take up the quarrels of their wives,"Louise asked,"or allow any feeling to come between them?"
34996But he''ll be too busy with you to go over to Golden and see her again for a long time, wo n''t he?
34996But now, señor?
34996But suppose, Fanny,her husband teased,"that he should prefer Lena''s methods after all, and cast himself at her feet instead of yours?"
34996But what about me? 34996 But what do you expect to gain by it, Curt, and why do you want to kill the man?"
34996But where''d he come from before Castleton got him?
34996But you, señor,--where do you come in?
34996By the way, Aleck, you''re from Boston, ai n''t you?
34996By the way, Dell, did you foreclose on a man named Melgares, José Maria Melgares, a month or two ago?
34996Ca n''t you come over with me to Bill Williams''s hotel for a few minutes? 34996 Curt,"said Homer when they sat down to breakfast,"if you''re not going to use Brown Betty to- day, would you mind if I rode her over to Golden?
34996Delafield?
34996Did you say anything about it to Conrad?
34996Did you say that Mr. Bancroft knows-- that you have told him this story?
34996Did you see him? 34996 Do n''t you know what starts them?"
34996Do n''t you? 34996 Do you know why?
34996Do you really think, Aleck, that Ned Castleton''s money is behind Martinez? 34996 Do you remember ever running across a chap named Delafield?"
34996Do you think I''ve mistreated you or injured you in any way?
34996Do you think anybody would know it,asked Conrad,"even if it was really there?"
34996Don Curtis, how can I?
34996Don Curtis? 34996 Fine creature, is n''t she?"
34996Granting that you''re right, Francisquita,he said,"what makes you think so?"
34996Has Andy Miller been taking a pull at your flask?
34996Has n''t he done something that would give us a hold on him?
34996Have you been working at it all this time, Curt?
34996Have you got anything against me?
34996Have you hurt yourself?
34996Have you, indeed? 34996 He did?"
34996How about money?
34996How are you, Bancroft? 34996 How did you find it out?
34996How does Andy get on with the work? 34996 I beg your pardon, señor, but did you send some one to ride your mare?"
34996I believe it''s really because he''s afraid; and he need n''t be, for I do it very well-- don''t I, Ned?
34996I did n''t hurt you, did I, Curt?
34996If Lena does n''t care about the looks of it, why should I, or you?
34996In the name of God, then, who is it?
34996Is anything the matter?
34996Is he supposed to be living here?
34996Is he trying to drive them farther away?
34996Is n''t it right that it should?
34996Is that right, Curt? 34996 Is that the only one loose?"
34996Is there an answer?
34996José, what did you do it for?
34996José,he said,"how did you get such skill in throwing the knife?
34996José,said Curtis in a low tone,"you made a mistake about that wolf last night, did n''t you?
34996José? 34996 Know anything about him, Aleck?"
34996Melgares? 34996 My father-- the bank-- can we go so far?"
34996Oh, Dearie-- you do n''t know, do you-- and daddy-- you do n''t know about daddy?
34996Oh, daddy dear,she coaxed,"wo n''t you come in and try this duet with us?
34996Oh, where did you get that coat?
34996Pendy? 34996 Really, Mr. Conrad,"she said,"is it true that they ever rope men?
34996Say, Curt,he finally called out,"how do you do it?
34996Say, Jack,said the sheriff, as the Congressman went on up the street,"what sort o''hell do you- all reckon Dell Baxter''s cookin''up now?
34996Say, Sheriff,called Pendleton between his gasps and grunts as he bounced up and down,"are you going to keep up this pace all day?"
34996See if you can find Melgares, will you?
34996Smell it, do n''t you?
34996So you think you are going to pay for me that way, do you? 34996 That noble steed of yours is sure gettin''a gait on him, ai n''t he?
34996The First National? 34996 The cow- punch that''s feeling so happy?
34996The same whose mare--?
34996The_ patron_ wishes it; and why not? 34996 Then what-- by God, are you one of Dell Baxter''s thugs?
34996Then who did? 34996 Then why do you give them the office?"
34996Then you''ll be back here before you do anything? 34996 There''s no limit to your bad opinion of a man, is there, Curt, if he once gets into your disfavor?
34996This is a particularly audacious case, though-- don''t you think so, Aleck?
34996To ride my mare? 34996 Was the bank building injured?"
34996Was there much rain in Golden to- day?
34996Well, Betty B.,he said, patting her neck,"you and I have had a devil of a time to- day, have n''t we, old girl?
34996Well, if you know he''s a horse thief, why do n''t you arrest him?
34996Well, now that you have it all, what are you going to do about it?
34996Well, what did you find out then?
34996Well, what do you want?
34996Well, why did n''t you?
34996Well,he said quietly,"what do you want?
34996What about him?
34996What are we going to do all the rest of the day?
34996What difference does it make when we can never see each other again?
34996What do you know about him?
34996What do you mean, Jenkins,he went on,"by deserting to Martinez?
34996What do you say, José?
34996What does it mean, Fanny? 34996 What is it, Betty?
34996What is it, Betty?
34996What is it?
34996What sort?
34996What''s the matter with you, José?
34996Who can it be?
34996Who is he?
34996Who was riding herd?
34996Whose sisters, Lucy?
34996Why did n''t he come out in the open like a man and tell me who he was, and let us fight it out on the square? 34996 Why did n''t they rebuild on higher ground?"
34996Why do you say''afraid,''Dearie?
34996Why does n''t he shoot?
34996Why have you raked up this old story?
34996Why, Homer,exclaimed Curtis, stopping in astonishment at the door,"what are you doing?"
34996Why, lad, what''s the matter? 34996 Wilder, take his gun, will you?
34996Will he never keep still a second?
34996Will he never shoot?
34996Will you please say precisely what you mean?
34996Would n''t it be jolly to go at a gallop all the way down the canyon, from the mountains to Golden? 34996 Yes; ai n''t you Liberato Herrara?"
34996Yes; was n''t it surprising? 34996 Yes?"
34996You are not going to Don Dellmey?
34996You do n''t mean that you really intend to kill the man?
34996You really think his opposition to me down here is important?
34996You saw Conrad''s mare just now?
34996You sent for me, Señor Jenkins?
34996You''ll soon find out, Miss Bancroft, if you do n''t know it already, that the cowboy song of''What was your name in the States?'' 34996 You-- you''re not dead, Jenkins, are you?"
34996A moment of silence followed, and then she heard her father''s cool and even voice,"But suppose he should put one through yours first?"
34996After I tell you--""About that beautiful place?
34996And I''m learning to ride now, Mr. Conrad, and father thinks I''m getting on very well; do n''t you, daddy?"
34996And any man who would deliberately bring ruin and death into so many households-- don''t you think yourself he''s worse than any murderer?"
34996And in that matter of Curtis Conrad and José Gonzalez-- had he not put himself at Baxter''s mercy?
34996And why do the men allow it?"
34996And you say he''s living in New Mexico now?"
34996Anything I can do for you?"
34996Anything new?"
34996Are you another who knows?"
34996Are you sure of it?"
34996Are you sure?"
34996As for Señora Melgares, are you crazy enough to suppose I had anything to do with that?"
34996As he finished Gonzalez bent a keen gaze upon him and asked, significantly,"Has the señor further instructions for me?"
34996B., with such a daughter as that?"
34996Bancroft''s eyes fell, but his reply came quickly enough:"Well, and what is that to me?"
34996Bancroft?"
34996Baxter said Conrad had been to see him-- then did Curtis know by this time?
34996Before he could answer Wilder sprang forward demanding,"Is she gone?"
34996But Lucy-- does she know anything about it?"
34996But could he go to his best friend with such a charge, to taunt, insult, and challenge to death, on the word of a Mexican assassin?
34996But could she tell him that she was aware of his secret?
34996But did you know anything about the Delafield affair in Boston, fifteen or sixteen years ago?"
34996But how had he found out?
34996But it was not long until he was saying grimly to himself,"What have I to do with love- making and winning a wife?
34996But it was quickly repressed, as he suavely asked,"Well, what do you say?"
34996But was there not in her steady gray eyes a hint of passionate depths he had never thought of before?
34996But why does he keep those Mexican thugs hanging around him if it is n''t to use them for things he would n''t dare do himself?
34996But wo n''t you trust me about this, and love me just the same?
34996But, I say, José, why do n''t you give up this rattlesnake business?
34996But, daddy, wo n''t that make it better for poor José Maria?
34996But--"and he shrugged his shoulders with the air of one who says,"What would you?"
34996By the way, is it true that the Castletons are behind Johnny Martinez?"
34996CHAPTER III MISTAKE, OR BLUNDER?
34996Ca n''t I do something for you before I go out?
34996Ca n''t we go that far?
34996Ca n''t you think of some way to head Lena off and get her away before she does any mischief?"
34996Curtis Conrad--""What about him?"
34996Curtis rushed in at the report, calling out,"What''s the matter, Aleck?"
34996Delafield evidently meant to buy him off with it and, if he accepted, did he not tacitly accept that condition?
34996Did any of you?"
34996Did he change his mind?
34996Did he shoot?"
34996Did she not say she had been asleep?
34996Did the Congressman think his political opposition important enough to make his taking off desirable?
34996Did the Congressman wish to keep a hold on him to hamper, perhaps even to control, his movements?
34996Did you see the scrimmage?"
34996Did you see what it was, Andy?"
34996Do n''t you know Lena ca n''t be managed that way?
34996Do n''t you think so, daddy?"
34996Do n''t you think, Mr. Conrad, that killing is a rather severe punishment for mistakes of judgment?"
34996Do you know what he''s here for?"
34996Do you know where we are?"
34996Do you know whether he''s been doing any outrageous talking lately?"
34996Do you know-- about your father-- and this man-- and yet you will go with him?"
34996Do you remember whether or not you''ve ever met him?"
34996Do you think you can sleep?
34996Does Miss Dent ride?"
34996Does he know?
34996Does he_ sabe_?"
34996Does she know, too?"
34996Even if Lucy cared for him, which he hardly dared to hope, would she marry a man who had so long guided his life by such purposes as he had cherished?
34996Even if she had why should she care about it?
34996Furthermore, could she do it without betraying her own secret, without laying bare the love that burned in her heart?
34996Give it up?
34996Had n''t you better think again about that?
34996Had not Aleck suffered enough already?
34996Had nothing happened, then?
34996Had that creature found some new screw he could turn?
34996Had the young ranchman, with his impetuous loyalty, told his friend what had happened in the Albuquerque hotel?
34996Had there been some new development?
34996Has anything happened to you?"
34996Has anything happened?"
34996Has he got hold of something new about Delafield?"
34996Has he sent you down here to stick me in the back?"
34996Has that measly greaser made any more attempts on your life, my dear Conrad?
34996Have I killed her?"
34996Have the Castletons gone yet?
34996Have you any idea who''s behind the greaser?"
34996Have you had a nap, and do you feel better?"
34996Have you seen anything of him?
34996Have you seen him?
34996Have you, Jack?"
34996He drew his chair nearer and in confidential tones began to inquire about the young cattleman:"Has Conrad got much influence?"
34996He turned to seek the road, saying to himself,"What, then, shall I do?"
34996Her voice was as soft as velvet and as caressing as an infant''s palm as she exclaimed:"Do anything?
34996His breath came hard and his voice was thick as he asked:"Is there no alternative?"
34996How did you leave things down in old Silverside?
34996How does daddy happen to have it?"
34996How long have you known?"
34996How''s the trial going?"
34996I ask you once more, the last time, who is it?"
34996I suppose you were roped into some of his schemes?"
34996I?
34996If Baxter had decided that his affairs would go more smoothly with Conrad out of the way, why should he, Alexander Bancroft, trouble himself further?
34996If Baxter knew, was the story out?
34996If I let you have this information will you agree to use it and your influence in such a way as to induce him to join in with Johnny Martinez?"
34996If you''re not killed you''re likely to be badly wounded-- perhaps lose an eye or a leg-- and what can you gain by it?
34996Is anything of the kind going to happen again?"
34996Is it a bargain?"
34996Is it any of our affair, even if Conrad is our good friend?
34996Is n''t he cunning?
34996Is n''t that enough?
34996Is n''t that enough?"
34996Is that him comin''yonder?
34996Is this a new fad?"
34996It said only:"Will you go to ride with me this afternoon up the canyon?
34996It was n''t the wolf you thought it was when you made ready to shoot, was it?"
34996It would n''t be hard to get to the Mexican border on her back, would it?"
34996It would n''t be the healthiest thing in the world for you if I should kill myself shut up in this room with you, would it?"
34996José stooped to hitch the traces, and Curtis broke out impulsively:"I say, José, what makes you do this sort of thing?
34996Littleton had some personal interest in Delafield''s failure, did n''t he?"
34996Looks like a good traveller, does n''t she?"
34996MISTAKE, OR BLUNDER?
34996Mr. Bancroft had just gone out, probably for only a few minutes; would n''t she wait?
34996Mr. Conrad, will you let me shave you?"
34996No; what do you mean?"
34996No?
34996Of course, it would be a humiliation; but so was the whole hateful business, and what was one little thing more or less?
34996Or was he the one who defaulted and jumped into the Charles River?"
34996Or would n''t you like to go with me?
34996Pendleton sat upright, calling out,"Say, fellows, is there any blood on my back?"
34996Pretty good, are n''t they?"
34996Señor Don Curtis Conrad?"
34996Shall we make it half and half?"
34996She went down to the gate, saying in Spanish,"Do you want anything, Pablo?"
34996She''s a bully fine girl and we like her, do n''t we, Betty Brown?
34996Should I deserve to lose him?"
34996Should he give up the girl he loved without an effort, even though his rival be his brother?
34996Skipped, did n''t he, with a lot of funds?
34996Smiling slightly, he replied,"What has he done to stir you up so?
34996So he''s a friend of yours, is he?
34996Tell me, Lucy, do you love me?"
34996That was a high old time we had at the barbecue, was n''t it?
34996That''s Bancroft''s bank, is n''t it?
34996That''s sure, is it, Curt?"
34996The Mexican turned and replied in precise English with grave courtesy,"Did the señor speak to me?"
34996The man was a Mexican, was n''t he?"
34996Then quickly came the self- questioning: What would she think of him if she knew the purpose that had been animating him all his life?
34996Then the old idea took possession again, and he said to himself, almost with anger,"What business have I to fall in love?"
34996Then you wo n''t mind my going, will you?
34996Thirsty?
34996Turning to Conrad with a quizzical smile, he said:"Well, Curt, does n''t that rather take the edge off your purpose?
34996Was it already going from mouth to mouth?
34996Was it me you were after when you stuck your knife in that skunk?"
34996Was n''t it jolly of him to think of it this stupid, yellow afternoon?"
34996We''ll have some lovely rides, wo n''t we?
34996What could I mean except that Mr. Conrad did n''t need to be distracted from Lena, especially as her methods are so broad?"
34996What do they care about it?
34996What do you think about it, my lady?"
34996What do you think about it?"
34996What do you think of his chances down there?
34996What earthly good will that do you?
34996What harm will it do?"
34996What is the matter?
34996What sort of a scheme was it?"
34996What was he doing?
34996What was he like?"
34996What was his purpose in so doing?
34996What''s the matter with your arm, Curt?"
34996What''s this about Jenkins?"
34996What''s to become of him in the midst of all these sighs and glances?"
34996What, then, did that five- hundred- dollar check mean that Curtis had given to Jenkins?
34996When are you going back to the ranch?"
34996When he turned again to his wife he asked,"Well, dear, what are you going to do about it?"
34996When they came out she protested that she was starving, that he must be too, and could n''t they sit right down and have something to eat?
34996Where do you want to bunk, José?
34996Where were they now?
34996Where''s Curt?"
34996Why are you still shaking your gory locks and roaring like a wounded bull at him when he''s evidently doing the square thing by you?
34996Why do n''t you accept his offer to pay back the money as fast as he can?
34996Why do n''t you let up on your chase and give him a chance?"
34996Why not?"
34996Why should I interfere with Lena''s whims?"
34996Why should a man want more than one pretty girl to protect him from the designs of a lady who-- well-- who wants to shave him?
34996Why should he be hunted down like this when he was willing to make restitution, even after all these years?
34996Why should he want you assassinated?"
34996Why was n''t the man sensible enough to take the money he was willing to pay, and be satisfied?
34996Why?"
34996Will you be my wife?"
34996With Conrad so intent upon his destruction had he not every right to protect himself and his child?
34996Wo n''t you have another cigar, Mr. Bancroft?
34996Wo n''t you tell me now that you do love me?"
34996Would a tenderfoot be in your way?"
34996Would he come and look at them?
34996Would it be possible to take up the daily life again as if nothing had happened?
34996Would n''t you like it, Dearie?
34996Would she sympathize with Conrad?
34996Would there be a chance for him, then?
34996Would you like to meet them?
34996Would you mind letting me use your knife?
34996Yet-- what mattered the rest if she could save his life and, perhaps, his future?
34996You have come in all this rain?
34996You know I''m not ungrateful or unappreciative, do n''t you, Curt?
34996You know Silverside County as well as any man in it-- how do things look?"
34996You must have heard what he said; how did it strike you to hear a young man boast of his intention to commit murder?"
34996You understand, do n''t you,"he added in a tone almost apologetic,"that it is hard for me to believe what you say?"
34996You''re as square as they make''em in most things; why do you go into this damned rattlesnake business?"
34996You''ve heard?
34996where''d you drop from?"
30572''How much do you want for that hoss?'' 30572 ''My Gawd,''he says,''what has happened to the_ mine_?''
30572''S that so?
30572''S that so?
30572''Well, why not?'' 30572 ''Yes, but how did you lose your fortune?''
30572About the same, eh?
30572Ah-- him?
30572Ai n''t this it?
30572And I suppose that_ you_ never quit, either?
30572And does it throw its shadow on these hills where your claims are? 30572 And how about those tenors?"
30572Any relation to that feller they call Dave?
30572Are n''t you glad,she asked,"that we''ve had this week together?
30572Are the drillers ready?
30572Aw, rats,scoffed Big Boy,"are you still telling that one?
30572But Denver,she insisted,"do n''t you see what I mean?
30572But what about me?
30572But when he comes back for it are you going to give it up?
30572Ca n''t you ever care for me? 30572 Did I_ see_ him?"
30572Did Murray put you up to this?
30572Did you ever hear how the Lost Burro was found? 30572 Did you ever hear the''Anvil Chorus''?"
30572Did you hear the news?
30572Do n''t you drink at all?
30572Do n''t you even smoke? 30572 Do n''t you get lonely?"
30572Do n''t you have to kiss the tenor in these operas?
30572Do n''t you remember that other treasure? 30572 Do you know vot I would do if I owned dat mine?"
30572Do you know what dat man has been?
30572Do you mean to say they were ignorant? 30572 Do you mean to tell me,"he said,"that he''s kept up his assessment work?
30572Do you still believe in the prophecy?
30572Do you think?
30572Do you want to get the kid killed? 30572 For instance?"
30572Going to the strike?
30572Good afternoon, sir,hailed the promoter,"are you the owner of this property?
30572Got back, hey?
30572Has Drusilla gone?
30572Have you seen my burros?
30572He will that,nodded Bunker,"but say, tell me this-- ain''t half of that money his?"
30572He''s a foxy old dastard, is n''t he?
30572Heh, heh; that''s right,responded Bunker reminiscently,"say, did you ever hear of old Abe Berg?
30572Hey, what''s the matter, Big Boy? 30572 Hey, what''s this for?"
30572How can I give you a quit- claim?
30572How long before you''ll be done?
30572How long is that good for?
30572How much did you get for your shipment?
30572How you mean''take him on?''
30572How''d_ you_ hear about it?
30572I wo n''t?
30572I''m sorry he spoke to you that way-- shall we go in now and look at the vein?
30572Is Murray jumping claims?
30572Is n''t there anything I can do?
30572Is that a threat?
30572Is that all there is in the world?
30572Is that all you think of?
30572Is that so?
30572Is that so?
30572Is_ this_ the way you do it? 30572 Just a minute,"he said,"did n''t you send in your entry?
30572Looks pretty good, do n''t it? 30572 Maybe Tom Owen made the entry?"
30572No,he muttered,"what will she care for a poor ex- con?
30572No,she said,"I do n''t believe in kisses-- have you kissed other girls before?
30572No?
30572No?
30572Nope,returned Denver; and then, after a moment''s pause:"How''s that gun- man of yours getting along?"
30572Not want you?
30572Oh, Dave? 30572 Oh, I do n''t know,"defended Denver warmly,"what''s the matter with Nordica, and Mary Garden and Farrar?
30572Oh, I do, do I?
30572Oh, I will, hey?
30572Oh, Mr. Chatwourth? 30572 Oh, boosting for Murray, eh?"
30572Oh, did he?
30572Oh, did she tell you something?
30572Oh, have you found something?
30572Oh, is that all you think about?
30572Oh, is that so?
30572Oh, it ai n''t, hey?
30572Oh, it do n''t look like a mineral country at all, eh?
30572Oh, of Apache Leap? 30572 Oh, sings scales, eh?"
30572Oh, that''s the racket, eh?
30572Oh, they did n''t, eh?
30572Oh, what are they?
30572Oh, what''s the use of talking?
30572Oh,_ was_ it copper?
30572Oh-- did you sell it?
30572Oh-- oh, yes,stammered Denver suddenly reminded of his dereliction,"say, how did she happen to go?
30572Oh-- would you?
30572Say do you know what that yap did to me? 30572 Say, is that all you do-- sit around and tell stories for a living?
30572Say, what are you talking about?
30572Say, who called you in on this?
30572Say, who is that old boy?
30572Say,blurted out Denver,"your claims are all silver-- haven''t you got a gold prospect anywhere?"
30572Say,he began in an easy, conversational tone,"did you ever hear about the hobo that was walking the streets in Globe?
30572Say,he burst out,"who is this Colonel Dodge that came up and bought your mine?
30572Say,he called,"you did n''t see a purse, did ye?
30572Say,he said,"did I tell you that story about the deacon that got stung in a horse- trade?
30572Say,he said,"when the sun rises in the morning how far out does that shadow come?"
30572Say,said Big Boy after a long minute of silence,"do you believe in fortune- tellers?"
30572Shall I be SUCCESSFUL in my present undertaking?
30572So you''re just over from Globe, eh?
30572Ten dollars? 30572 That''s all you think about, ai n''t it?"
30572That''s the story,admitted Bunker,"but say, here''s another one-- did you ever hear of the hobo Mark Twain?
30572Then what will you do?
30572Then you intend, just to spite me, to remain on in prison when you might be a free man to- morrow? 30572 Think you guessed right, do you?"
30572Und pretty, too-- vat? 30572 Vell, how are you?"
30572Vell, vat you t''ink?
30572Vot I told you?
30572Vot you mean?
30572Vot''s dat? 30572 Vot-- dat copper?"
30572Vot--_copper_?
30572Want to wait and see the blast? 30572 Well what d''ye want?"
30572Well, I''ll look at it,responded Denver coldly,"but who told you about that prophecy?
30572Well, all right,grumbled Denver,"I expect you think I am crazy, but what about Mother Trigedgo?
30572Well, how do you feel about it now?
30572Well, how do you figure it out then that they took out four million dollars''worth of silver from that little hill right up the creek?
30572Well, how''s the millionaire?
30572Well, what about you, you danged old stiff?
30572Well, what did he leave home for, then?
30572Well, what do you want it back for?
30572Well, what do you want me to do? 30572 Well, what do you want to show me?"
30572Well, what good would it do_ him_?
30572Well, what''s that to you?
30572Well, where would I get off if I took this friendly tip? 30572 Well, you poor, ignorant baboon,"burst out Bunker in a fury,"what better title do you want?
30572Well,he said,"out for a little airing?"
30572Well-- ll,qualified Denver,"I wanted to look over my strike and finish sacking that ore. Would n''t the next day do just as well?"
30572Well?
30572Well?
30572Were n''t you afraid, then?
30572What are you doing around here?
30572What are you doing here, young man?
30572What are you doing here?
30572What are you looking for now?
30572What are you talking about?
30572What are you two men quarreling about?
30572What are_ you_ doing here?
30572What d''ye call a good price?
30572What d''ye think you''re trying to do? 30572 What do I give a damn?"
30572What do you mean?
30572What do you think of that?
30572What do you want?
30572What have you got here, anyway? 30572 What is it?"
30572What is this?
30572What shadow?
30572What strike?
30572What stringer?
30572What the hell are you trying to do?
30572What''s going on here?
30572What''s the chance to get a little something to eat?
30572What''s the matter? 30572 What''s the matter?"
30572What''s the matter?
30572What''s up? 30572 What, by Murray?"
30572What-- this whole country?
30572When do you expect to start for the East?
30572Where are you going?
30572Where did this come from?
30572Where you going-- over to Pinal?
30572Where''d you get this?
30572Where''s my powder?
30572Where''s the Professor?
30572Who are you working for?
30572Who called you in on this?
30572Who''s offering it?
30572Who''s running off at the head? 30572 Who''s this Bible- Back Murray?"
30572Who-- him?
30572Whose ore do you think this is, anyway?
30572Why I thought you was broke-- what business have_ you_ got with a purse?
30572Why do n''t you get back your own mine?
30572Why do n''t you work this?
30572Why do n''t you work?
30572Why do you work so hard?
30572Why, have n''t I done everything to get you out of prison? 30572 Why, what do you mean?"
30572Why, yes,she answered evenly,"have n''t you noticed my hair?
30572Why-- what''s the matter?
30572Will you be sorry?
30572Will you go back to work?
30572Will you take that offer or not?
30572Wo n''t some other claim do just as well? 30572 Wo n''t you come over to supper to- night?
30572Yeah, I''m hep,replied Russell,"say who is this feller that you call Bible- Back Murray-- has he got any claims around here?"
30572Yeh, some guy,observed Big Boy,"and I see you''re some story- teller, but what''s all this got to do with me?"
30572Yes, and look what happened to copper when the war broke out?
30572Yes, is n''t it grand?
30572Yes,he said,"how''d it get out there?
30572Yes?
30572You did?
30572You do n''t look like an ordinary prospector-- who''d you say it was you were working for?
30572You like to work, do n''t you?
30572You mean,suggested Denver,"that all I have to do is to go in and jump the claim?"
30572You see?
30572You think a lot of it, do n''t you?
30572You''re crazy,declared Bunker,"did n''t I say we''d get you a pardon?
30572You?
30572Your pardner, eh?
30572--I just wanted to ask you,"she burst out hurriedly,"if you''d be willing to sell back the mine?
30572A golden treasure do n''t necessarily mean gold, and I''ve got a claim----""Say, who''s that up there?"
30572A man is never whipped till he thinks he''s whipped-- why do n''t you go back and take a run at it?"
30572Ai n''t that ore shipment good enough security?"
30572And how can you tell if you do n''t even look-- whether the golt or the silver is better?"
30572And how could any woman, by cutting a pack of cards and consulting the signs of the zodiac, predict how a man would die?
30572And if it is n''t, oh, wo n''t you let me buy it back for father?
30572And if so, would they send him to the Pen?
30572And say, do you see that line of hills?
30572And so, of course----""Oh, do you believe in those people?"
30572And then, before he thought how it sounded:"Say, who is this Mr. Menzger, anyway?"
30572And was n''t it right where she told me?
30572And why, if he was innocent of any share in the plot, did Diffenderfer refuse to testify to the facts?
30572Are you just going to drill one hole?"
30572Are you thinking of opening up the Lost Burro?"
30572At first it was Number Thirteen that appealed to his fancy:"Will the FRIEND I most reckon upon prove faithful or TREACHEROUS?"
30572But I thought perhaps-- oh, is it very rich?
30572But after we''d been so-- oh, do you believe all that?
30572But do n''t you see, Denver, that you made a mistake when you took what she said so seriously?
30572But do n''t you think, Denver, when you went away and left me, you might have written back?
30572But educated people----""What''s the matter with the Greeks?"
30572But how could he face her, after all he had said, after boasting as he had of his fortune?
30572But if I do n''t get some position my money will all be gone in no time and then-- well, what will I do?"
30572But is it down to eleven now?
30572But say, but what did they think of my mine?"
30572But say, have you got a clean title to this claim?
30572But that old feller----""Nope,"said Big Boy,"I think I''d rather camp-- who lives in those cave- houses up there?"
30572But there was one thing yet that he could not understand-- why had Murray closed down his own mine?
30572But this boy here is my friend, understand?"
30572But this is my choice, see?
30572But who would think to look for her in a place like that, or for the treasures of silver and gold?
30572But, say, I''m looking for a fellow with a big, black mustache-- did you see him come by this way?"
30572CHAPTER XIX THE MAN- KILLER"Did he hit ye?"
30572Can I play over your records, sometimes?"
30572Cash, eh?"
30572Come on, what have you got-- a bottle?"
30572Come on, will you shake hands on the deal?"
30572Dat fine, valuable mine, one of the richest in the vorld, and vot you think he done with it?
30572Did it mean he was to refrain from opposing Old Bible- Back, or merely that he should oppose him within reason?
30572Did n''t my wife tell you why I said it?
30572Did n''t she send me over here to find this mine?
30572Did n''t you ever hear about Murray''s glass eye?
30572Did those promoters take away any samples?"
30572Did you ever study music at all?"
30572Do you believe you''ll be killed by your dearest friend, and that nobody else can harm you?
30572Do you know who he is?
30572Do you like your golden treasure?"
30572Do you think I''m going to have you cooking meals for these miners when they''re earning their five dollars a day?
30572Do you think I''m going to work my head off for my family, only to be et out of house and home?
30572Do you think that I''m superstitious?
30572Do you think they would jump our claims?"
30572Do you think you can stick it out, Tom?"
30572Does n''t it lie within the shadow of a place of death, and was n''t the gold added to it?"
30572For he was poor, and she was poor, and how could she succeed without money?
30572For how could one hope to win the love of a woman if he denied her his friendship first?
30572For the last time, now, will you come to dinner?"
30572Get a parole and give Murray my mine?"
30572Had Drusilla gone away or had she thrown him over for neglecting to keep his engagement?
30572Has he done a hundred dollars worth of work on every claim?
30572Have you always been a miner?"
30572Have you got any interests over there?"
30572He told me that all miners spent their money in drinking-- why would n''t you come over to supper?"
30572He was a bad man-- you see?
30572He''s been holding down these claims with a lead- pencil and a six- shooter just about as long as he can and----""Oh, have you made another strike?"
30572Hill?"
30572How about it-- do you want to change?"
30572How about these lead- pencil fellows that have n''t done their work for years?"
30572How could he meet her without her reading in his eyes the secret he must not reveal?
30572How did you get along on your trip?"
30572How does it feel to be a millionaire?"
30572How far are you down with your drill?"
30572How''m I going to buy my powder and a little grub and steel if I give up my roll at the start?
30572I saw one once that was golden yellow-- wouldn''t you like to play while I sing?
30572I wanted to see you, Drusilla; I gave everything I had, just to get here before you went----""Did you really?"
30572I wo n''t breathe it to a soul; and if you could share it with some friend, do n''t you think it would ease your mind?"
30572I wonder how much credit Murray gave me?"
30572I''m an old man myself and you''re young and strong-- why the hell do n''t you get out and work?"
30572I''m on my way, see?
30572If death must come, if some friend must kill him, in whose hands would he rather entrust his life than in those of the woman he loved?
30572If he thought so much of it why did n''t he work it a little and ship out a few sacks of ore?"
30572If her eyes had no allure for a man like him, how could she hope to fascinate an audience?
30572If its inside the shadow of Apache Leap, I''ll go down and take a look at it; but----""But vat has the shadow of the mountain to do with it?"
30572If two white- bellied mice ran down the same hole would the one with the shortest tail get down first?"
30572Is he working for Murray, or what?"
30572Is it something about my mine?"
30572Is n''t that just too rich for anything?"
30572Is n''t there anything else we can do?
30572Is this that diamond drill?"
30572It aindt dat?
30572It was best, after all, for how could he comfort her?
30572Look at the rich men in the West-- take Clark and Douglas and Wingfield-- how did they all get their money?
30572Maybe I try to take advantage of you and show you what dey call fools gold-- what mineralogists call pyrites of iron?
30572Must I make every single advance?
30572No?
30572Now listen, Denver, and let_ me_ interpret-- don''t you know you''ve got everything wrong?"
30572Now, that''s reasonable, ai n''t it?
30572Now-- how many days will that drill have to run to do the annual work?
30572Oh, Denver, after I''d come clear home to see you-- why would n''t you come down to the house?"
30572Only three, eh?
30572Or did you feel that you were guided to it, and all would be for the best?"
30572Pretty slick, eh, for an Indian?
30572Russell?"
30572Say, did you ever hear that one about the Swede and the Irishman-- you do n''t happen to be Irish, do you?"
30572Say, did you ever hear the story about Spud Murphy''s frog farm?
30572Say, did you hear what Murray said when we took Dave over there, looking like something that the cat had brought in?
30572Say, who is that fellow, anyway?"
30572Shall I tell him you''ll take it yourself?"
30572She had won his heart before he even saw her, but how could he hope to win her?
30572She was an opera singer now, returning from a season which must have given her a taste of success-- what use would she have for him?
30572She was his friend already, the dearest friend he had-- was she destined then to kill him?
30572Sure I''ll get your powder, and just to show you what_ I_ can do-- how''s that for a healthy little roll?"
30572Take the silver and golden treasures-- how would he know them when he saw them?
30572That''s a nice gun you got off of Dave-- how many notches has it got on the butt?
30572The Professor was glad, therefore the news was bad; but what did he mean by those words?
30572The magistrate had held him, the grand jury had indicted him-- would the judge and jury find him guilty?
30572The question is-- when will I get my money?"
30572They''ve staked all the good claims and are up doing the work on them and the question is-- what can we do?"
30572Think it over-- can''t you see it''s for the best?"
30572This big Western boy, this unsophisticated miner, had sensed her wiles and turned them upon her-- how then could she hope to succeed?
30572This was father''s best claim, he should n''t have sold it; and so-- won''t you sell it back?"
30572Vat you call_ dat_ now, my goot young friend?"
30572Vell, let me ask you vun question den-- am I righd or am I wrong?"
30572Vot''s dat?"
30572Was it McGraw?
30572Well, I will say, it looks promising-- would you mind if I go into the tunnel?"
30572Well, I''d like with your permission to show my friends some of your ore-- why, what''s this, have you hauled it away?"
30572Well, how can it be a gash- vein when it''s between two good walls and increasing in width all the time?
30572Were n''t you honestly afraid he would kill you?"
30572What d''ye think of that for a roll?"
30572What did he say when you gave me this job?"
30572What did you think of that rock he showed you?"
30572What do you think of that, now?
30572What do you think of this country for copper?"
30572What does the old boy think he''s got?"
30572What if the Professor, that old prowler, should come along and find him, peeping in through Bunker''s open door?
30572What if the house should burn down and destroy them all?
30572What if the ray of light which struck out through the door- frame should reveal him to the singer within?
30572What is your lowest price on your claim?"
30572What price do you put on your claim?"
30572What was the use of it all; where did it get him to, anyway; this ceaseless, grinding toil?
30572What will be the first thing you''ll do?"
30572What would he have to say now if his diamond drill tapped nothing and a hobo struck it rich over at Queen Creek?
30572What you got on your mind?"
30572What''s all the excitement about?"
30572What''s going on here?"
30572What''s the chances around here for that?"
30572What''s the chances for some grub now, on account?
30572What''s the matter with Old Bible- Back now?"
30572Whereabouts did you get these specimens?"
30572Whereabouts have you made your camp?"
30572Who told you I wanted to buy?"
30572Why do n''t you come up to the house?"
30572Why not sell out for a good price, if he''ll make the Professor talk and help get you a pardon from the Governor?
30572Why the hell do n''t you git out and work?"
30572Why, even these old prospectors have to have some pardner-- don''t you ever feel the need of a friend?"
30572Why, how can you do it for that?
30572Will you accept ten thousand dollars?"
30572Will you send that on to Drusilla?"
30572Would he crack, like Meacham, as the end approached, or would he stand up to the punishment?
30572Would it help to have me for a friend?"
30572Would you like to come along too?
30572Yes, I hear they are booming-- were you working in the mines?
30572You are young and headstrong, and hardly realized what you were doing; and so I say, why not acknowledge your mistake and begin life over again?
30572You had n''t figured that out, now had you?
30572You reminded me of him when I saw you working-- don''t you get kind of lonely, sometimes?"
30572You see?
30572You want to go heeled, understand?
30572You''ve got a little stake-- why do n''t you buy a claim and make a play for big money?
30572_ Rich?_ Hell, yes!"
30572beamed the Professor overlooking the fling in the excitement of the meeting,"I take it you''re a mining man?
30572began Bunker as they came in sight of town,"d''ye see those old workings over there?
30572began Murray affably,"well, how are things over in that camp?
30572broke in Big Boy suddenly sitting erect and looking all around,"by grab, is this the place?"
30572commanded Denver, scarcely believing his ears,"did n''t he send me any grub, or anything?"
30572demanded Denver eagerly,"did she say I''d live till I was eighty?"
30572demanded Denver looking over the load,"and say, did n''t you bring that coal?
30572demanded Denver, looking about at the automobile and the men who had popped up like magic,"has Murray made a strike?"
30572demanded Denver,"has he got a clean title to his ground?"
30572demanded the Slogger insolently,"do you think you''re going to compete?"
30572echoed Denver,"why the poor, ignorant fool-- can''t you see that the vein is getting bigger?
30572exclaimed Big Boy getting up on his feet,"say, is that where they killed all those Indians?"
30572exclaimed Denver in sudden dismay,"the whole range of hills-- all that lays in the shadow of the Leap?"
30572exclaimed Drusilla,"did you find the gold, too?
30572exclaimed Russell,"twelve hundred feet deep?
30572exclaimed the Professor with a knowing smirk,"do n''t it tell you to choose between the two?
30572exclaimed the chairman as if clutching at a straw,"say, where is that blank of theirs, Joe?"
30572exclaimed the hobo looking up with sudden interest,"say, how long ago did he leave?"
30572he announced holding up the roll of bills,"first money-- can you get me some powder?"
30572he asked at last as his curiosity got the better of him,"have you got anudder gun somevhere?
30572he asked at last,"did any of''em steal my kiss?"
30572he asked holding up a chunk that was heavy with silver and lead,"is this some high- grade from the famous Lost Burro?"
30572he asked looking about at the crowd that had gathered on the scene of the fight,"what''s the matter with that jasper over there?"
30572he asked, suddenly looking about,"has he gone to tell Murray, already?
30572he called,"what are you doing, over there?
30572he challenged harshly,"do n''t you know that this ground is closed?"
30572he cried,"do n''t you hear her now?
30572he cried,"you think dat is copper?
30572he demanded insistently,"vas I right or vas I wrong?
30572he hailed cheerily,"they tell me you''ve struck ore. Well, well; how does the vein show up?"
30572he hollered,''did you spill the paint?''
30572he understood, it was the first and only motto in the bright, brief lexicon of his life; but what was the meaning of"prudent?"
30572inquired Denver,"a hold- up or a frame- up?"
30572pleaded Bunker,"did n''t I ask your pardon?
30572purred Murray driving relentlessly on in his quest for information,"did he show you any of his claims?"
30572repeated Murray, flicking his rebellious glass eye, which had a tendency to stare off to one side,"is this a sample of your ore?
30572said Denver, trying to take it all in,"are these parties going to do any work?"
30572scoffed Denver with a swift look at the specimen,"and for sale for five hundred dollars?
30572scoffed Denver,"that ore that I sent him?
30572she asked impatiently,"is there nothing but silver and gold?"
30572she asked taking him gently by the hand and looking deep into his eyes,"did you give up your mine-- for me?"
30572she asked, putting the wonder- note into her voice and laying aside her frank manner,"were n''t you afraid to buy our claim?
30572she asked,"and in all that Mother Trigedgo told you?
30572she asked,"that there will be a great rush when they hear about your strike down in Moroni?
30572she beamed her eyes big with wonder,"would you take a chance on my killing you?"
30572she beamed,"do you really think so?
30572she began at last,"that will make you change your mind?
30572she burst out at last,"living all by yourself in that cave?
30572she cried aghast,"did he send you in to buy it?"
30572she cried jumping up,"when you do n''t know a thing about it?
30572she demanded in dismay"did you sell that Number One claim?"
30572she demanded,"instead of dragging my father into it?"
30572she murmured pensively,"go ahead and open up another mine?"
30572she murmured with a sigh,"wo n''t you tell me how it happened?"
30572she went on at last as he stood sweating and dumb in her presence,"do n''t you ever get tired, or anything?"
30572yelled Denver,"why, what was the matter with it-- did the sacks get broke going down?"
30572yells the Irishman, like he was out of his head,''well, how do you figure thot out?''
42619''Ow was hit, Mose?
42619And he will listen to her counsel?
42619And now, man, what is it you have to tell me?
42619And what does he think of her?
42619And who is Clo- ke- ta''s husband?
42619And why?
42619And you were born there?
42619Are not you the son of Mr.----, of Galena?
42619But if you had found him, Butch'', what was it you meant to do?
42619Ca n''t yer leave the fire alone?
42619Ca n''t you guess, Mose?
42619D''yer see this?
42619D''yer think I''m a fool, Cap?
42619D''yer think the skulking beasts would ha''given yer a fair chance?
42619D''yu see that?
42619Did I?
42619Do n''t you know that there''s a good chance of our being smothered, like rats in a hole which has been stopped up?
42619Do you know Mr. Sutherland, sir?
42619Do you not see they have stopped at the turn of the darned track, Captain?
42619Do you think I shall not go with you?
42619Do you think so?
42619Do you think so?
42619Do you think you can stand it, Mose?
42619Does he now believe what Clo- ke- ta has told him?
42619Does n''t he?
42619Du yer know the skunk the folks in Washington sent to Pyramid Lake, last fall, as[ 3]Injun agint?
42619For what, sir?
42619Hand H''i too?
42619Has anything happened?
42619Have n''t you ever thought of fighting ag''in Secesh?
42619Have yer ever been through that part, Mose?
42619How can I?
42619How do I know you will?
42619How do you feel now, Mose?
42619How do you know what they are?
42619How far off, Butch'', did you believe the red- skins were?
42619How far off, is it?
42619How far?
42619How is that?
42619How many?
42619How on airth can I?
42619How on airth should I, Cap?
42619How war that?
42619How was what?
42619How?
42619How?
42619I''d like to know who the whites were the darned scoundrels have trimmed so neatly?
42619Is Clo- ke- ta, then, married?
42619My brother has seen Clo- ke- ta?
42619Now, tell us, how you got into this darned scrape, old boy?
42619Smoke- creek Sam?
42619Take a drink, Zac?
42619The Indians from whom I am then to fly are the Bannocks?
42619Then you do n''t believe there is much gold in this part of the country?
42619They say, Mose, you are on the trail?
42619Wall, Mose, du yer want the infarnal red cusses who helped murder my Hattie to git clean off?
42619Whar am I to git one?
42619Whar are the keerds?
42619Whar''s yer horse?
42619What are you doing-- Rangers?
42619What are you driving at?
42619What are you thinking of, Bill?
42619What can he do with them?
42619What d''yer mean?
42619What d''you mean?
42619What do yer mean, then?
42619What do you mean, Tom?
42619What do you mean?
42619What do you really mean?
42619What du yu mean?
42619What for, Butch''?
42619What is up now?
42619What says my brother?
42619What tumblee?
42619What war it I meant to do? 42619 What?
42619Where are you, Dave?
42619Why d''yer think so, Captain?
42619Why in thunder do n''t yu go, then?
42619Why not? 42619 Why should he do so?"
42619Why was he let in?
42619Why,''ow was hit that villin Rascall did n''t thrash you, as''e did Pigeon, when''e got hinto your wagon?
42619Why?
42619Will Clo- ke- ta provide my brother food?
42619Will Par- a- wau mount the horse of his brother?
42619Will my brother do as Clo- ke- ta has bidden him?
42619Will you-- re- eelly, do that?
42619Without even a trial?
42619Would n''t it be better to split''i m down, and splice''is two hends?
42619You do not mean to give the thieving vagabonds, anything more?
42619You know the voice, Mose?
42619You know what it''s for, then?
42619You''re hawful smart, hain''t you, Mose? 42619 You''re sure of that?"
42619Your father had a brother in this city?
42619Yow could I help it?
42619''ave they h''all ha dozen wives h''apiece?"
42619--_Page 141._] But what is the use of prolonging such a recital?
42619And of what was this whole visible street composed?
42619As Arnold not unnaturally asked the sergeant, who addressed it to me:"What the devil could it mean?"
42619As for my dear little wife, to whom I had written so hopefully from St. Joseph, what could I now say to her?
42619But what have I to do with such thoughts as these?
42619But why had they visited my hole in the snow, and why had they afterwards left it?
42619Butch''demanded:"Have yer got any game?"
42619Could I doubt that it had been also displayed in the atrocious massacre of General Wright and the unfortunate men who had accompanied him?
42619Did I not recognize one of them?
42619Do n''t you think we had better take the trail?
42619Dobbs?"
42619Had I not, in my own person, had a sufficient experience of the gentleness of these she- devils?
42619Hain''t I told yer Frank Drake is fighting the red devils, by himself?"
42619How in thunder am I to go fur wood?"
42619How in thunder could he go to the wood- pile, while the door was locked?
42619How should they know our Uncle wanted to be theirs, too?
42619How, indeed, could I do otherwise?
42619I asked,"how, the red beggar to the right of the fellow was eying our horses?"
42619I said,"do you think the Major would have been such an idiot as to get trapped by the red skunks?"
42619It was an inquiry whether the friends who had so kindly answered them were"on our trail?"
42619No sooner did he see his companion fall, than he asked briefly:"Are you wounded?"
42619On hearing it the Ranger''s bronzed face flushed, and he turned on the captain, exclaiming:"What hin''ell do you know habout hit?
42619Rushing towards me, Bill cried out:"What his the matter, Mose?"
42619Shall it be as Par- a- wau says?"
42619Suddenly, it seemed to me-- was I dreaming?
42619Then he added,"D''idn''t Hi say so?"
42619Then, why did you give the stinking devils what they asked for?"
42619Throwing my arm around his neck, I said:"Where are you going?"
42619Was I not maddened with the long siege I had endured?
42619Was I not wild from my lengthy imprisonment on the mound, and eager upon the work of death?
42619Was I to go out of life something like the dying snuff of a candle, without one free blow in a square fight?
42619What chance was there I could over- much think of the past, in the absolute toil and the positive demand for vital activity of the present?
42619What could I do to release them?
42619What could be said upon his behalf?
42619What did it mean?
42619What if I did do so?
42619What if he is?"
42619What on airth else, should I mean?"
42619What the deuce was he coming to?
42619What was it to me what she was thinking of?
42619What was left to us but to wait and hope?
42619What was there for us to do?
42619What was to be done?
42619What was to be done?
42619What would Captain Crim say if he ever heard of this?
42619Where was Brighton Bill and my other companions?
42619Where was the money to come from?
42619Who would call him a coward?"
42619With my broken arm, what was there left for me to attempt?
42619Without it, what was there for me to do?
42619You are all right now, are you not?
42619[ Illustration:"''D''yer see this?''
42619[ Illustration:"''Does my brother now believe what Clo- ke- ta has told him?''"
42619are n''t we enough for''em?"
42619are yer about?"
42619brings you back here?"
42619man, have you no clearer idea about it than that?"
42619of these fellows?"
42619whar''s Tom?"
42619what was this?
42619you surely did not think I had forgotten you?"
34507''Esquire,''eh? 34507 ''So it''s No, is it, young man?''
34507Ai n''t committed soothin''syrup, have ye?
34507Ai n''t scared o''poison oak, then?
34507Am I spectacular?
34507Am I to open it now or wait till Christmas?
34507And Digger would n''t tell no more?
34507And Miss Jessamy knew all this-- see?
34507And do you think it might have been the Poison Oakers who closed my spring to increase the flow down there?
34507And how do the English- speaking people spell the second word, Poche?
34507And if you should happen to get me, why-- why, where am I at again?
34507And is that an enviable distinction?
34507And never learn the question that puzzled your idealistic father for thirty years? 34507 And now what''s to be done?
34507And now?
34507And still ye ai n''t afraid o''poison oak?
34507And the answer is...?
34507And the six?
34507And the third man to succeed before me?
34507And was n''t she right?
34507And what is your answer?
34507And what''s your final opinion on the matter?
34507And what_ do_ you like in life?
34507And whatever shall I say, dearie, when Adam Selden comes to me today?
34507And which of the Poison Oakers packs a twenty- two high- power rifle? 34507 And who else did he speak about?"
34507And who is Bolivio?
34507And who was he?
34507And who?
34507And you meant actually for Dodd to kill Foss?
34507And, please, what''s the typewriter for-- if I''m not too bold?
34507Any o''mine in that bunch?
34507Are n''t they?
34507Are you badly burned?
34507Are you through?
34507But are n''t all of the Poison Oakers concerned in my speedy removal from this country?
34507But ca n''t you tell me how you did that even?
34507But did n''t he say as how others had danced the fire dance besides me and you?
34507But his partner''s name?
34507But how you goin''to live? 34507 But how''bout Digger?
34507But what is the gang''s particular purpose?
34507But why? 34507 By the way,"she asked,"have you written that letter to Mr. Selden, telling him what we found out down at the county seat?"
34507Ca n''t your imagination place you in his shoes? 34507 Ca n''t, eh?
34507Can you do what I asked about?
34507Can you handle a gun fairly well?
34507Can you recall his name?
34507Can you spin a dollar in air with your left hand, draw, and hit it before it strikes the ground?
34507Coffee, Moffat?
34507Cut it out?
34507D''he give it to ye?
34507D''ye mean to tell me yer maw''s sister do n''t own that prop''ty?
34507D''ye really mean it, kid? 34507 D''ye think you could draw with me?"
34507Dan Smeed, eh?
34507Did Jessamy Selden overhear Old Dad Sloan when he told that?
34507Did he mention any names?
34507Did he?
34507Did n''t I tell you how it would be?
34507Did you get this partner''s name?
34507Did you learn that expression at the University of California or in France?
34507Did you recognize him?
34507Digger Foss, eh?
34507Do I gather that you are calling me a liar, Mr. Selden? 34507 Do n''t get me?"
34507Do n''t you know what my answer is?
34507Do we? 34507 Do what?"
34507Do you imagine that the white people who saw you are ridiculing you?
34507Do you know a piece of land down in Clinker Creek Cañon that is called the Old Ivison Place, Chupurosa?
34507Do you know who owns the land on which our horses are standing?
34507Do you think he tried to lay me out?
34507Do you wish to get up?
34507Does Ed know anything?
34507Does he belong to the tribe?
34507Does n''t it strike you as strange that you and I were not subpoenaed as witnesses?
34507Does that mean me?
34507Does the letter tell?
34507Ever try to convince a wasp that you have more right on earth than he has?
34507Fer me?
34507For-- er-- money?
34507Friendly cuss, ai n''t he, Dad?
34507Get stung?
34507Glad, eh?
34507Got under your guard with that one, eh, ol''-timer? 34507 Has it occurred to you that I am throwing myself at you?"
34507Have you any bosom friends in the Clinker Creek district?
34507Have you ever heard the name Peter Drew?
34507He succeeded?
34507Help with what?
34507Hey?
34507Hey?
34507How did the meeting end?
34507How do you do it?
34507How do you do?
34507How do you know I have done that?
34507How do you know?
34507How early you gonta start the drive for the mountains this year, Old Man?
34507How long ye owned this forty?
34507How long''d he own that prop''ty before he died?
34507How many white men have been honoured with membership?
34507How?
34507Howdy, Pencie?
34507Howdy?
34507I''m supposed to know what?
34507I? 34507 I?"
34507If I ai n''t too bold in askin'', Mr. Drew-- what was ol''Damon Tamroy fillin''yer ear with about me today?
34507Is all in readiness?
34507Is anything the matter?
34507Is he angry?
34507Is that there glass, young feller?
34507Is there a house on the place?
34507Is there anything that stands between us?
34507Is this here letter a lie?
34507Is your trail growing plainer?
34507Jess''my--Selden''s eyes were fixed sternly on his step- daughter--"What''re ye laughin''at?"
34507Jessamy, where have you been?
34507Just what are the Poison Oakers?
34507Le''s see-- what was the name Dad said?
34507Look here,he said:"why did n''t you tell me more of what I might expect at this fool performance?"
34507Make yourself so spectacular and-- er-- outstanding, without leaving any traces of art?
34507Mr. Drew, did ye ever hear that name before Damon Tamroy said it to ye?
34507Now about the Old Tabor Ivison Place?
34507Now as you were n''t expecting me to come along, have you enough money for lunch for two? 34507 Now,"said Oliver,"who knows but that my sniper is not hidden up there in the hills?"
34507Play the game, eh?
34507Quartz?
34507Said there was n''t no such outfit?
34507Señor,he asked,"is there in the middle of your body, on the left side, the scar of a wound like a man''s eye?"
34507Shall we draw when we meet ag''in, er forget it entirely-- or see who c''n load an''shoot quickest right here an''now?
34507Shall we go our ways now, an''draw when we come together ag''in?
34507Smeed?
34507So Old Man Selden always shoots straight from the shoulder, eh?
34507So we''re going to be heavy this morning, eh?
34507Stranger about here, ai n''t ye?
34507That dredge?
34507That so? 34507 Then it was Foss who shot?"
34507Then why did n''t some of you warn this man?
34507They know it?
34507Travellin''horseback?
34507Wait? 34507 Was Dan Smeed my father?"
34507Was it? 34507 Was that a religious dance?"
34507Well, what can I do for you gentlemen?
34507Well, why ai n''t we runnin''Drew out?
34507Well,she asked,"will the Poison Oakers run you off?"
34507Well?
34507Well?
34507Were you drunk or crazy?
34507What are your views on religion?
34507What can it mean?
34507What caused that?
34507What did you come up in this country for?
34507What do they call this reservation?
34507What do you think of that one?
34507What do_ you_ think about that?
34507What do_ you_ want my answer to be?
34507What for?
34507What for?
34507What good will come of it? 34507 What in the mischief are you doing in the saddle this time of night?"
34507What is it? 34507 What is this?--a holdup?"
34507What was it all about?
34507What you doin'', then?
34507What''d Digger say?
34507What''d he say they said?
34507What''ll it be, Pencie?
34507What''s it to do with religion?
34507What''s the good o''watchin''this guy? 34507 What''s the idea?"
34507What''s the rest of the news?
34507What''s the rush?
34507What''s the use? 34507 What''s this here?"
34507What''s this? 34507 When?"
34507Where are you going?
34507Where do you think you are, Mr. Selden? 34507 Where is Sulphur Spring?"
34507Where is the beginning? 34507 Where you headin''for?"
34507Where''d you get that outfit, young feller?
34507Which way?
34507Who is that?
34507Who is your accuser?
34507Who owns it?
34507Who shot at you?
34507Who told you to? 34507 Why ca n''t you come across an''do the square thing now?"
34507Why do you ask that?
34507Why should I wait? 34507 Why, how so?"
34507Why, howdy?
34507Why?
34507Will you dare do that? 34507 Will you go out and look at it?"
34507Will you please state your business and ride on?
34507Will you ride up with me tomorrow afternoon?
34507With my bare feet? 34507 Ye got her out o''the office, then?"
34507Ye wanted to, eh? 34507 Yer father, eh?
34507Yer papy''s hey?
34507Yes? 34507 Yes?"
34507Yes?
34507Yes?
34507You approve, then?
34507You did, eh?
34507You knew it, then?
34507You like to surprise people, do n''t you?
34507You mean I must stamp out a_ fire_ with my bare feet? 34507 You say you know that your Aunt Nancy Fleet is named as owner of the property in the county records?"
34507You thought I was afraid of you, did you? 34507 You wo n''t be square?"
34507You''ll stay to supper? 34507 You''ll wait?"
34507You''re not offended?
34507You''ve been in the house often, I suppose?
34507Young man,came the piping tones,"is they a''B''cut in the metal that holds them stones in place?"
34507Your father?
34507_ And_ sober?
34507_ At_ you, do you think?--or into the water to frighten you?
34507_ The first time in yer life, Mr. Drew?_"Yes. 34507 ''Jessamy, My Sweetheart,''eh?
34507A bobcat?
34507A coyote?
34507A deer?
34507A garden an''bees an''writin''for a story paper, eh?
34507A minute later he asked:"Do you like to play poker?"
34507All in?"
34507Always ready to help-- d''ye savvy?
34507An''why''d he tell me to watch up here an''trail''i m if I saw''i m, without tellin''me why?
34507And does it make a great deal of difference if the subject chances to be of the other sex?"
34507And had her direct gaze faltered?
34507And had his inadvertent shutting off of Sulphur Spring''s supply of water stopped their illicit activities?
34507And how long must it continue?
34507And if you croak me, why, what if you did tell me?--I''m dead, ai n''t I?"
34507And that will be-- when?"
34507And was the rich colour of her skin a trifle heightened, or was it the glow from the sun, ever reddening as it climbed its ancient ladder in the sky?
34507And who had been prospecting thus on patented land?
34507And why was the Indian watching Foss in turn?
34507And ye say ye heard the name Dan Smeed over to Old Dad Sloan''s fer the first time?"
34507And, above all, why?
34507Answer me that?
34507Answer this: Why did n''t you tell me, when I told you my_ caballo''s_ name, that you knew what it meant?
34507Are ye really mad, now, Pencie?"
34507Are you afraid of Digger Foss?
34507Are you going to invite me in and show me around?"
34507Are you with me there?"
34507As they reached the cabin he asked:"Did you feel the end of the pipe under the water in the spring?"
34507Blue eye into blue eye he gazed, and once more asked the question:"Did I tell the truth when I said I loved her?"
34507But first, where''s them gems?"
34507But had he been drunk, or rabid from the hypodermic injections of Showut Poche- daka?
34507But how''bout the Selden boys?"
34507But what excuse could they produce for such an act?
34507But what is the meaning of it, Miss Selden?"
34507But where''s them stones?"
34507But who would go to such pains to do this, and hide the results of his work, as these had been hidden?
34507But why?
34507But--""Ye do?
34507Ca n''t ye ride to Poison Oak Ranch with us just as well as ye can ride on home?"
34507Can''t-- can''t you ride up the trail and find a way down to them, Oliver?
34507Can, will, or may?"
34507Could not the letter be produced and read on the porch?
34507D''ye understand?"
34507Did n''t you connect it with the name of the reservation at the time?"
34507Did she know the carving to be there?
34507Did ye see the records?"
34507Did you see him?"
34507Do n''t belong about here, do you, pardner?"
34507Do n''t you ever tire?"
34507Do n''t you know that all of us are constantly ashamed of our secret ideals-- ashamed of the best that is in us?
34507Do n''t you want me to go in?"
34507Do they have any idea who did it?"
34507Do we draw when we meet ag''in?"
34507Do you know Old Dad Sloan, the''Forty- niner?"
34507Do you know?"
34507Do you like missionaries?"
34507Do you mean to tell me that Adam Selden would attempt to run a man out of the country for that?"
34507Do you mind if I travel with you to the county seat?"
34507Drew?"
34507Drew?"
34507Drew?"
34507Drew?"
34507Drew?"
34507Drew?"
34507Drew?"
34507Drew?"
34507For what?
34507Foss, of course, had reason to hate him; but what could he gain by secretly watching him from cover?
34507Game, eh?"
34507Get me?
34507Gonta get a job?
34507Got yer place fenced, I reckon?"
34507Had Tommy My- Ma slipped out noiselessly and followed Foss?
34507Had he not been a fool?
34507Had he offended her in any way?
34507Had he said that day what he would not have revealed for anything-- at that time?
34507Had he told the truth?
34507Had he told the truth?
34507Had she known it, though, the day she questioned the patriarch?
34507Had some one carved this in a jocular effort to warn chance visitors to the place of the danger of the poison weed?
34507Had they been distilling moonshine whisky down at Sulphur Spring to supply the blind pigs controlled by the prosecuting attorney at the county seat?
34507Has anybody told ye about the poison oak that grows''round here?"
34507Have you ever heard of him?"
34507He does love to talk, does n''t he?"
34507His gal?
34507How about some breakfast?--and then your triumphal entry into the festivities?"
34507How come you to own the place?"
34507How''d he come by the place?
34507I dance the fire dance?
34507If you could narrow down a bit-- be more specific--""Well, then, do you believe in that?"
34507In Russia-- Germany?
34507In a pine tree close at hand an owl asked:"Who?
34507Is it trivial, my friend?"
34507Is that any way to run a man outa the country?
34507Is that it?"
34507It will build tall skyscrapers, and which of them will be as imposing as one of these majestic oaks which that machine may uproot?
34507May I suggest that I am rather proud of my biscuits tonight, and that they''re growing cold as lumps of clay?"
34507Mind if I look her over?"
34507Must-- must I say it-- right out, Jessamy?"
34507Nor whether the correct answer is Yes or No?"
34507Now, if you were in my place, would you be a piker and a spoilsport and a pink little prude, or would you be human and take out a stack?"
34507Now, what did Tamroy tell ye Old Dad Sloan had to say''bout this here Dan Smeed and_ me_?"
34507Oh, what shall we do, Oliver?
34507Old Man?"
34507Or did the carving represent the emblem of the Poison Oakers?
34507Or should he remain an idealist, a poor man, but loyal to his trust?
34507Or was he for some obscure reason still hiding under the dry manzanita tops?
34507Or, again-- both?
34507Partners, eh?
34507Plumb forget her, eh?"
34507Rattlesnake Reservation, eh?"
34507Say, who''s that Ike think he''s writin''to?
34507Selden?"
34507She waited a little, then resumed her seat and said:"And the next man that Old Dad Sloan mentioned as having tried the fire dance was-- guess who?"
34507Should a handful of uncouth Indians, a superstitious, dwindling tribe of near- savages, be permitted to handicap his part in this triumphal march?
34507Should he make a dive for his gun?
34507Should he shout to Foss?
34507So you are worried about the land tangle?"
34507So, once more, how can I be of service to you?"
34507Stamp out these objections?"
34507That it there?
34507The reputation of being a half- baked simpleton?"
34507Then Bolar drew nearer to the cave and shouted in:"What you gonta do?
34507Then Oliver asked abruptly:"Who laid that fire, and put the box of cloth and the_ olla_ at The Four Pools yesterday?"
34507Then as they sat their horses and gazed down a precipitous slope to the river, she asked:"Just why have you kept away from us all these weeks?"
34507Then if this was true-- and he knew it to be true-- what of the halfbreed, Digger Foss?
34507Then the threatened man in the saddle puffed out a cloud of cigarette smoke, and drawled sarcastically:"Well, why do n''t you shoot, ol''-timer?
34507Then there was a pause, which the girl at length broke--"Did you catch the name, Chupurosa?
34507Then--"Is it here, Señorita?"
34507There''s grass for the horse at present?"
34507Those are the Showut Poche- dakas coming?"
34507Took a rather long chance, if he merely wished to give me a touch of highlife, do n''t you think?"
34507Unless that letter tells?"
34507Wait for what?"
34507Wanta look over the ranch a bit?"
34507Was I so very bloodthirsty in trying to make the best of a bad situation by choosing, on the spur of the moment, which man ought to live on?
34507Was he not still a fool-- to renounce a fortune that was his for the taking?
34507Was n''t that right?"
34507Was that all Tamroy had to say?"
34507Was this in reality the reason why the Poison Oakers wished him to be gone?
34507Well, why not let them find out all that they wished to know in this regard?
34507Well?"
34507Were her eyes evading his?
34507What can we do?
34507What d''ye suppose-- crochet needles?"
34507What did they and their ridiculous beliefs amount to in this great scheme of life as he now saw it?
34507What do you think?
34507What forty?"
34507What hidden chapters in the bygone history of this ancient race?
34507What on earth you goin''to do?"
34507What should he do?
34507What strange traditions was he recalling to their minds?
34507What was the meaning of it all?
34507What you gonta do?"
34507What''a''ye got to say to that?"
34507What''re you goin''to do down in there?
34507What''s Digger watchin''Drew for?
34507What''s Foss sneakin''about watchin''Drew for?
34507What''s in that letter Jess''my handed you at Lime Rock yesterday?"
34507When would he face the question?
34507When would it end?
34507Where did you get it?"
34507Where did you get it?"
34507Where is your deed?"
34507Who ever heard of a woman being offended when a man admires her?
34507Who had carved the words?
34507Who was yer father?"
34507Who''s she from?"
34507Who''s stoppin''''i m?
34507Who''s with ye?"
34507Who-- o- o- o?"
34507Who?
34507Why did Selden wish to enter the cabin?
34507Why did you say that Selden would try to run me off my toy ranch in one breath, and that he is wicked only in a big way in the next?"
34507Why do n''t we get in and fire''i m out o''the country, like we said we was goin''to do?"
34507Why had she not ridden down to him, as of old?
34507Why try to nose him out?
34507Why was Old Man Selden keeping their guest out there in the night?
34507Why''s he packin''it if he do n''t mean to use it?
34507Why?"
34507Will the Showut Poche- dakas tell me where they are?"
34507Will the people of your own race do that?
34507Will you holster your gun and give me a chance before my arms play out?"
34507Will you let me try?"
34507Will you?"
34507Win what, though?
34507Wo n''t the post- master scent a conspiracy against Old Man Selden?"
34507Would his college education prove a safeguard against his reading the answer wrong, as his poor, unlettered old father had hoped?
34507Would n''t it be handier to have a good flow of water in both places?"
34507Would she figure in the answer?
34507Would the answer be Yes or No?
34507Would you care to hear my father''s last message to me?"
34507Yes or No, Oliver Drew?
34507You own the Old Tabor Ivison Place?"
34507You saw me shoot Henry Dodd-- d''ye really wanta draw with me?"
34507You''re glad, are n''t you?"
34507_ Actually?_""Actually-- literally-- honest- to- goodnessly!"
30318''Is it?'' 30318 Absurd, is n''t it?
30318Ai n''t it just like him?
30318Am I such a bad shape?
30318Am I? 30318 An''can ye say as much?"
30318And I did right, do n''t you think so?
30318And begin all over again? 30318 And expose me weak knees to me nigger?
30318And he positively ordered you to go below?
30318And ye expect to marry soon?
30318And you, miss, I hope the climate is doing you good?
30318Are n''t you going on to the metropolis?
30318Are they interested in him only because he''s what they call a desperado? 30318 Are you goin''to Sibley?"
30318Are you sure?
30318As for the hotel-- what does it matter now?
30318At me?
30318But do n''t you see how revealing it is? 30318 But how came ye hurt?"
30318But how can she? 30318 But how did she know?"
30318But the mother?
30318But what can I do? 30318 But where''s that''mobile we''ve heard so much about?"
30318Can I visit the mine once more?
30318Can it be true that I can buy any of these cloaks and hats?
30318Can you fix''em up with lights?
30318Could any one,he thought,"be more swiftly adaptable?"
30318Did n''t the doctor say I must save meself worry? 30318 Did n''t you know Mart is sick?"
30318Did ye ever try to put a tin can back into shape? 30318 Did ye order him around?
30318Did ye say WE, Bertie? 30318 Did you get your man?"
30318Did you never lose?
30318Did you? 30318 Do I stand in the way of her happiness?"
30318Do n''t you think you''d better go see him and have a talk?
30318Do they teach it over there?
30318Do they? 30318 Do ye mind the old man''s spendin''the rest of his days with us, darlin''?"
30318Do ye see yerself smokin''a pipe on that porch?
30318Do you ever ride?
30318Do you know these people?
30318Do you really see me like that?
30318Do you sell these?
30318Do you suppose this goes on every night?
30318Do you want to die?
30318Does he complain?
30318Does he?
30318Does the altitude make your heart jump, too?
30318For good and all?
30318For how long?
30318For money?
30318Has he come now? 30318 Has he?"
30318Have you said that?
30318Have you, indeed? 30318 Have you, indeed?"
30318Hello, Mag; what''s doing?
30318Hello, Mart, how are you this fine day?
30318Honest?
30318How are ye the day?
30318How are ye, Slater? 30318 How are ye, the day, miss?"
30318How are you all?
30318How bad do you need it?
30318How did he come to make it?
30318How did the Captain take it?
30318How did you come to do it?
30318How did you like it there?
30318How is he?
30318How is it, Mart?
30318How is that, Lucius?
30318How is the Captain''s health?
30318How long did you stay with the circus?
30318How much are they?
30318I do n''t suppose any of the boys are livin''here now?
30318I hope it was n''t yellow?
30318I ought to be working, for my rent is coming due; but what''s the diff? 30318 I suppose the Captain''s tales are all old songs in your ears?"
30318I thought ye was a bricklayer, or is it a billiard- marker?
30318I wonder does he marry soon? 30318 I wonder if she would ride with us?"
30318I wonder is the mother over there waitin''fer me?
30318Is he dying?
30318Is he worse?
30318Is it as bad as that? 30318 Is it not a shame that you and I should stand in the way of two fine, wholesome, young people-- shutting them off from happiness?"
30318Is that so?
30318Is there anything I can do? 30318 Is this a special performance, or does the old town do this every night?"
30318It must seem warm to you down here, Captain?
30318It would be fun to run a house like this, do n''t you think?
30318Like what?
30318Lucius turned out the jewel they said he was?
30318Lucius, what''s your plan? 30318 May I see my picture?"
30318No-- the little girl and her mother wo n''t stand for it, and, besides, what''s the use? 30318 Not this minute-- to- night?"
30318Not to stay?
30318Now would n''t that convulse a body? 30318 Now, Oscar, you heard what that friend of mine said?"
30318Of what selfish quality is our love? 30318 Oh, Captain, ca n''t I do something?
30318Oh, Mart, did he hurt you? 30318 Physical beauty?"
30318See him? 30318 Service, do ye call it?
30318Several of Ben''s new friends and the Cregos--"Not the missus?
30318Shall I tell him what you have said to me?
30318Shy as a coyote, ai n''t it?
30318Somebody calls me up on the''phone this morning:''Is this Frank Congdon?''... 30318 Sure he was the right man?"
30318Surely Haney is feeling the power of money-- but why not; who has a better right to lovely things than Bertha?
30318The Captain was in it?
30318Then why do n''t you?
30318They''re good business men and have fine homes--"Do they invite you to their homes?
30318Thursday night, you said?
30318To- morrow morning at ten?
30318Vell, vell, Mart, you must haff struck a cold- mine by now, hah?
30318Very well; but you''ll let me come to see you?
30318Was it not hateful that this glorious girl should be doomed to live out the sweetest, most alluring of her years with a gross and crippled old man?
30318Was it wrong of him to say what he did?
30318Was that Haney who just came in?
30318We belong to each other-- don''t you know we do? 30318 Well, there''s something in that; but the point is, what''s it all for?
30318Well, why not? 30318 Well, why not?
30318What about? 30318 What about?"
30318What am I, then?
30318What are we to think of a girl so obtuse that she permits a man like this fat, disgusting actor to dangle about her?
30318What are you going to do with the house?
30318What can you expect?
30318What did he say?
30318What did she say?
30318What did you all do it for?
30318What do you mean by a sketch?
30318What do you mean by that?
30318What do you mean by_ now_? 30318 What do you mean, Captain?"
30318What do you mean?
30318What do you mean?
30318What do you mean?
30318What do you say, Captain?
30318What do you think Mart will say to this?
30318What does it matter where death comes or when it comes? 30318 What good can it possibly lead to?
30318What happened?
30318What has come over me?
30318What is his''line''?
30318What thing?
30318What was your profession?
30318What will become of them?
30318What will she do when she finds me gone? 30318 What will we do about the house?"
30318What would, miss?
30318What''ll I do if he''s worse?
30318What''s it all about? 30318 What''s the ail of it?"
30318What''s the latest?
30318What''s the matter, Bertie; are you sick?
30318What''s the rush?
30318When did your mother quit?
30318Where are you going to live?
30318Where did she get that exquisite profile?
30318Where did ye borry the funeral wagon?
30318Where did you find him?
30318Where do you live?
30318Where is he?
30318Where is the Captain?
30318Who are the guests of honor?
30318Who is the woman?
30318Who put him together-- Steele, of Denver?
30318Who says so? 30318 Who was it?"
30318Who''s with you in the carriage?
30318Why ca n''t you-- and Alice-- come with us?
30318Why did I come at all?
30318Why did n''t you let me know?
30318Why did n''t you order Lucius to let up on the sight- seeing business?
30318Why did n''t you warn me to come in my best? 30318 Why do n''t I?
30318Why do we not quietly take ourselves off and make them happy?
30318Why does he go after me?
30318Why not marry the girl and live honest?
30318Why not? 30318 Why not?
30318Why not? 30318 Why not?"
30318Why not?
30318Why not?
30318Why should I? 30318 Why should he take so much interest in me?
30318Why should n''t I buy some of his pictures?
30318Why should n''t we, when the climate is doing you so much good?
30318Why should the fool pursue me?
30318Why should they? 30318 Why_ must_ he always go back to that?"
30318Will it be on the train? 30318 Will it do to visit Sibley in?"
30318Will she come? 30318 Will we sell or rent?"
30318Will you have Father Kearney?
30318Wo n''t you come in and take off your hat?
30318Wo n''t you come with us for a ride?
30318Wo n''t you kiss me good- bye?
30318Would n''t it jar you,said he one day,"to see this little town sporting a''Smart Set''and quoting_ Town Topics_ like a Bible?
30318Would n''t you like a house like that?
30318Would you like to poke about?
30318Would you rather I married a gambler and a sure- shot? 30318 Ye did not-- Why not?"
30318Yes, he''s at supper-- want to see him?
30318Yes-- Dr. Steele came last night and examined him--"What did he say?
30318You are not angry with me?
30318You do n''t mean it?
30318You do n''t seem very sociable to- day, Mart?
30318You do n''t think he''s in immediate danger of it-- do you?
30318You have n''t heard anything--?
30318You mane-- what?--who?
30318You must have a good thing out there?
30318You''re disappointed, then?
30318You''re not going alone?
30318You''re not running the house alone?
30318You''re not tired-- are you, sweetness?
30318You''ve gone as far as that?
30318Your fader? 30318 ''Lucius, will ye do this?'' 30318 ''Lucius, wo n''t ye do that?''
30318...''What does she say I have?''
30318After you''ve got your house filled up with furniture and jimcracks, what you going to do then?"
30318Ai n''t I all right?
30318Ai n''t that so?
30318Allen Crego is a good man-- he has your legal business, I believe?"
30318Are n''t men curious?
30318Are n''t the traditions of Lincoln and Daniel Webster all to that effect: work all day with the ax, and study in the light of pine knots all night?"
30318Are there any more out there?"
30318Are we never to see each other again?
30318Are ye sick?"
30318Are you hurt bad?"
30318Are you tired?"
30318Are you worse?"
30318As Haney settled himself in the carriage, he said:"Well, little woman, did ye have a good ride?"
30318As they took seats at the table Mrs. Gilman exclaimed,"Why, dearie, where did you dig up that old waist?"
30318At last he said, slowly,"And you are going with him?"
30318At length two of his friends seized him, tenderly asking:"How is it, old man?
30318Bertha was delighted but not awed by the fine room into which they were ushered, for was not her own house larger and more splendid?
30318Bertie entered quietly, in a singularly mature, almost manly way, and bending to her mother, asked cordially,"Well, how are you to- day?"
30318Brent, with a comical look at his wife, remarked:"I suppose this is in lieu of broncos?"
30318But Joe asks:''Why should they?''
30318But do n''t you want to see that show we''ve got tickets for?"
30318But how could she tell him not to do that?
30318But how will it be ten years from now?
30318But what I want to know is this, can you tell me where to find the old man?"
30318But what can you expect of these densely material towns?
30318But would they act the same if she were Mart Haney''s widow?"
30318By this time a large, fair- haired, slovenly woman had opened the door, and, with truculent voice, called out:"Who do you want to find?"
30318Ca n''t ye put up with me a little longer?
30318Ca n''t you come over to my studio this afternoon?"
30318Ca n''t you see it?
30318Ca n''t you stay with me-- as we are?"
30318Can she get away?"
30318Can this radiant young creature sitting there at the head of my table be the clerk of the Golden Eagle Hotel?"
30318Can you be ready to go Monday week?"
30318Concealing her disgust of herself under a bright smile, she called out:"Why do n''t you people gallop ahead, and let me jog along at my own gait?"
30318Congdon?"
30318Could any place on the earth be more healthful, more helpful to human life than this wide- porched, cool- halled house, this garden, this air?
30318Could it be that she was capable of changing the life of a powerful man like this?
30318Could n''t I whirl in and go to school somewhere back here?"
30318Crego?"
30318Did Alice know-- did she suspect?
30318Did ever Aladdin''s lamp translate its owner farther or lift him higher?
30318Did he ever feel the like of such cloes in his life?"
30318Did he mean what he said?
30318Did his candor, his sweetness of smile, but veil another mode of approach?
30318Did it presage an accident to him, or had it arisen from a vague knowledge of the cause of his wounding?
30318Did n''t you hear of me in that way?
30318Did these people consider her beneath their respect?
30318Did they ask us there to hear him tell stories of his wild life?"
30318Did ye find him in Chicago?
30318Did ye say it, sweetheart?"
30318Did ye see Mrs. Crego pucker up when she sighted us?"
30318Did ye sleep last night?"
30318Did you ever see such development in your life?
30318Did you know that?
30318Did you know that?"
30318Did you leave any medicine?"
30318Did you order a special for her?"
30318Do I know what it is?"
30318Do n''t he know I had nothing to do with his bust- up?"
30318Do n''t ye like it here?
30318Do n''t you know it?"
30318Do n''t you know this?
30318Do n''t you see I must?"
30318Do n''t you see him bleed?"
30318Do n''t you see that I ca n''t stay and let you do things for me like this"--she indicated their apartment--"when I do so little to earn it all?
30318Do n''t you see that?
30318Do n''t you see?
30318Do n''t you see?
30318Do n''t you think so?
30318Do n''t you understand?
30318Do they put it on a business basis?"
30318Do they think you may live safely at sea- level?"
30318Do we have a quiet game after dinner?"
30318Do you know why?"
30318Do you love me, Bertie?
30318Do you mean because Mart is worse?
30318Do you mean it?"
30318Do you mean to tell me seriously that she thinks I''ve hypnotized her?''
30318Do you really mean that?"
30318Do you?
30318Do you?"
30318For the first time since its purchase she mentally asked herself:"What will I do now?"
30318For what did you think I left me business on the busiest day of every week?
30318Forget it, dear- heart-- won''t you now?"
30318Frank has called, you know?"
30318Going up to the mine, I reckon?"
30318Had he taken silence for consent?
30318Had you thought of that?"
30318Haney?"
30318Haney?"
30318Haney?"
30318Haney?"
30318Haney?"
30318Have n''t I fought?
30318Have n''t you seen it?
30318Have you taken on Haney''s legal business?"
30318He asked, quietly:"Do ye mean to go fer good?"
30318He came closer to her and his voice was low and insistent as he continued:"Or do you mean-- something very sweet and comforting to me?
30318He can sing, too, ca n''t he?
30318He caught at her hands and looked upon her with face grown older and graver as he bitterly wailed:"Why could n''t we have met before you went to him?
30318Hitherto the answer to any such question had been,"Can we afford it?"
30318How are things up on the peak?"
30318How are_ you_ feeling these days?"
30318How could a single- hearted Western girl believe ill of him?
30318How could it be true while he sat there talking to her-- and she in her apron and her hair in disorder?
30318How could she escape from her indebtedness to him?
30318How could she have misread his manner?
30318How could she repay the money she had used?
30318How could so many folk live in one place?
30318How could this weary, sick man be wicked?
30318How could you, Frank?''
30318How did he get it?"
30318How did it happen?"
30318How did they all live?
30318How do you do?
30318How does it happen you''re down to- day?
30318How else can I pay ye for your help to me?
30318How is she?"
30318How is the Captain?"
30318How long is it since he was hurt?"
30318How was she dressed?"
30318How would it do to slide over and see?"
30318How''d you like to go on a ranch?"
30318Howdy, Otto Siegel?"
30318I ca n''t sit down, and just eat and sleep, ride and drive, can I?"
30318I never ran a gambling- saloon, but I can imagine it would be exciting as a play all the time, ca n''t you?
30318I say to him:''What difference does the state o''the weather make to you, that''s under a roof all day?''
30318I suppose Mrs. Congdon has told you of us?"
30318I tuck him by the shoulder and I said:''Have ye anny Sunday clothes?''
30318I want''o find out why you run away from me?
30318I wonder what I can tell you?"
30318I wonder who she is?"
30318I''ll talk with her this night--"He paused abruptly and turned upon her with piercing inquiry:"Have you discussed this with Ben?"
30318I''ve asked her to call on the girl, but she evades the issue by asking:''What''s the use?
30318I''ve stood a lot from you, but your meal- ticket is no good after to- morrow morning-- you_ sabe_?
30318If I ca n''t go down to your office to superintend the arrangement of a few rugs and chairs, how can I keep a house-- your house-- in order?
30318If it were, where would the Congdons be?"
30318If she were unhappy, of what value were these soft rugs, these savory dishes, this shining silver?
30318In the midst of her troubled thinking, Lucius knocked at the door to ask:"Will you go down to dinner or shall I have it sent up?"
30318Is he by the day or by the hour?"
30318Is he dead or translated to a higher speer?
30318Is n''t it beautiful to think we can really keep house out here and pay our way?"
30318Is n''t it too bad she could n''t have had Bryn Mawr or Vassar?
30318Is n''t that so, now?"
30318Is that your meaning?"
30318It would be pretty tough to go back to the hotel now, would n''t it?
30318Julia, why do n''t you get a hat and cloak like that?"
30318Let me see, how old is she?"
30318Mart ca n''t die now, can he?
30318Mary died, you know?"
30318My little girl needs a roof, and why not the best?"
30318Now that speaks well for him, do n''t you think?"
30318Now"--here he faced Ben, and his grave tone lightened--"as I understand it, you''re not a rich man?"
30318Now, what''s the matter?"
30318Now, who''ll we ask to meet her-- the Cregos?"
30318Now, why did n''t I inherit my father''s ability?"
30318Of course the Mosses are nice to me on Congdon''s account, but why does this great artist want me to come to his studio in New York?
30318Or do you mean that I have forfeited your good- will by my own action?"
30318Sex is one of the ultimate mysteries, is n''t it?
30318Shall we do that?"
30318Shameful, is n''t it?"
30318She called to her mother and Miss Franklin and then asked,"Has dinner been announced?"
30318She has chosen me to be her adviser, putting her wealth in my hands!--Well, why not?
30318She was known now, and no one really knew anything evil of her-- why should she be condemned?
30318She''s more like a daughter than a wife, do n''t you think so?"
30318Stake a fellow to a hot soup, wo n''t you?"
30318Suppose I live to reach the mine, then what?
30318Suppose her friends should meet her with cold eyes and hesitating words?
30318Suppose they, too, had loved her money and not herself?
30318The potency of gold!--could any magic be greater?
30318The young wife spoke then, imperiously, almost fiercely, asking:"Why is he lying here?
30318Then as they came out in sight of the''mobile she said,"Why do n''t you furnish me an auto- car like this?"
30318There is some carpets and curtains in the place, is n''t there?
30318There was a look of surprise and consternation in the face of the young wife, but she only asked,"You''ll be back to- night?"
30318They are in danger of forgetting themselves?
30318To Mart''s humbly spoken query,"What troubles ye, darlin''?"
30318To what could she turn to make a living?
30318Vell, vell-- you gome pack in style, ai n''t it?
30318Want to see?"
30318Was Ben Fordyce like all the rest?
30318Was he about to try her faith in him and her loyalty to her husband?
30318Was he as glad to have her return as she was to meet him again?
30318Was his kiss as vile in its disloyalty, his embrace as remorseless in its design?
30318Was it to test her?
30318Was n''t it, Lucius?"
30318Was not her refusal to be Marshall Haney''s wife the basest ingratitude?
30318Was that why she was sinking lower and lower into the shadow?
30318Was this Mart Haney-- this unshaven, haggard, and wrinkled old man?
30318Were n''t you warned against us?"
30318Were they bound by the marriage laws?
30318What am I to do?"
30318What can I do in the world?
30318What can I help you on?"
30318What can you do?
30318What d''ye think o''that?
30318What did all this mean?
30318What did it mean?
30318What difference could a few thousand feet make on the heart''s action?
30318What do you think of buyin''them a bit of a house somewhere?"
30318What do you think, Frank?"
30318What do_ you_ expect to gain by holding to a wife''s garment when she-- the woman-- is gone?"
30318What does it all mean?
30318What have you been doing?"
30318What have you to think or droop about?
30318What is it, darlin''?"
30318What is the matter?"
30318What is the use of spoiling their lives just for a few years of selfish gratification of our own miserable selves?"
30318What license have you got to pop in here every few minutes and tell me what''s what?
30318What more could mortal woman proffer?"
30318What was left if he lost that self- control which had made him admirable?
30318What was the magic that had made her lightest wish realizable?
30318What was this doubt at her heart?
30318What will these crowds of tiny men and petty women do who come from the country parlors and corn- shocks of the West?
30318What would give Bertha standing among the people you speak of?"
30318What would happen to him-- if you left him?"
30318What would we do with it?
30318What you been doing to my cook?''
30318What''ll I wear?"
30318What''s t''old man doin''these days?"
30318What''s the good of money if you do n''t use it to buy things?"
30318What''s the matter with American art?
30318What''s the matter with me, anyhow?"
30318What''s the matter with you, to be personal?"
30318What''s the matter, darlin''?
30318What''s the matter?
30318What''s the meaning of it?"
30318When are we to start our''love in a cottage''idyl?
30318When you are gone, what is left in this town for me?"
30318Where could she find the money to repay him and to make her schooling possible?
30318Where''s the Irishman gone-- up or down?
30318Who air ye, and why air ye here?"
30318Who else will?"
30318Who has been coaching her?
30318Who is putting her on?"
30318Who''s goin''to catch the money when you drop it?"
30318Who?"
30318Why are there not female Lincolns?
30318Why ca n''t I die?"
30318Why ca n''t she rise?
30318Why cheat yourself and me?"
30318Why consider the millions?
30318Why did n''t you do her that way yourself?"
30318Why did n''t you stay?
30318Why do n''t you go and tell him yourself?"
30318Why do n''t you like me?
30318Why do you do this?"
30318Why not settle?"
30318Why not stay here in me own home and so end it all comfortably?"
30318Why should he know of it?
30318Why should it not be painted?"
30318Why should n''t I be?
30318Why should she not use her money to help this wonderful artist?
30318Why summer suits?
30318Why try to conceal it?
30318Why?
30318Why?"
30318Will you come?"
30318Wo n''t you give it to me?"
30318Wo n''t you jump in and take a ride with us?"
30318Wonder what''s eating him?"
30318You ca n''t intend to do this all your life?
30318You could sit on that porch and see the mountains, could n''t you?
30318You do n''t call out the defects of your''hardware,''do you?"
30318You do n''t expect the moon to fry bacon, do you?
30318You do n''t think they''ll charge me a special license, do you?''
30318You have to earn what you own, do n''t you?"
30318You must come over immediately afterwards and tell me all about it, wo n''t you?"
30318You understand?"
30318You would marry me if you were free?"
30318You''re painting his portrait-- why do n''t you and Lee give them a dinner?"
30318Your daughter-- yes?"
30318and I licked you fer hookin''apples off me vonce-- aind dot right?"
30318but now another and deeper query came in answer, like an echo:"Is it right to spend Mart Haney''s money?
30318he reproachfully exclaimed; then, as he peered into the hall, he asked,"Where''s the Captain?"
30318he''ll be clad to see you--""You do n''t know his address?"
30318what would we do with a state- house like that?"
58568''When must the trial take place?'' 58568 But why,"continued he, impatient and disgusted with the interview''s length,"why do you ask these ridiculous questions?
58568Do n''t yer see, Tom Bradford, ef them ez is missin''never got ter my cabin, they never got by one o''them t''others?
58568Do you think, Susie, you could ride on my horse?
58568Ef er man leaves Whoopin''Holler fer Sandy Bar, he kain''t git offen ther trail, kin he? 58568 His''n is er mighty lonesome place, hain''t it?"
58568Oh, Susie, are you seriously hurt? 58568 What do you mean?"
58568What is what?
58568Where are you hit now?
58568Who?
58568A terrific yell from the rear at this moment caused Booth to look around, and Hallowell to inquire,"What''s the matter now?"
58568Again Hallowell asked,"How far off are they now, Cap.?"
58568An''ef he do n''t kim back, an''do n''t go ahead, he mus''''a''stopped somewhar''twixt ther two places, mus''n''t he?
58568An''ef he haint heerd of fer a long while, he mus''hev stopped fer good, eh?
58568Booth stood looking on while Hallowell''s wounds were being dressed, when the adjutant said,"What makes you shrug your shoulders so, Captain?"
58568But where was Susie, the woman he loved?
58568Ca n''t you get out?"
58568Carried off a miserable captive among the soulless savages?
58568DID HE COMMIT SUICIDE?
58568Forsythe inquires anxiously,"Can they do better than that, Grover?"
58568Hallowell, from his cramped position in front, noticed the change in their tone, and asked,"What are they doing now, Cap.?"
58568He added"if any gentlemen(?)"
58568He grasped Hallowell''s left arm, and directed his attention to them, saying,"What''s that?"
58568He was getting mad at the manner in which his statements were being received; he grew very red, and blurted out:"Ike Podgett hain''t home now, is he?"
58568Hev yer sich a place whar we- uns kin converse ondisturbed?"
58568I am the old bull to be driven away by the cowardly coyote and die, leaving my bones to whiten?
58568Ike Podgett a murderer?
58568Is there a warrior here who dare follow me?"
58568It was thought at first his wounds were the cause, but when asked,"What''s the matter?
58568Major, what''s this?"
58568Now do yer understan'', Tom Bradford?"
58568Thar hain''t but one trail, is thar?
58568That the parties had been murdered was now conceded; but upon whom could suspicion rest?
58568What can I do?"
58568What man would blame him?
58568When I again looked all around me, and beheld the young warriors in their pride and strength, I asked myself:''Why do I live any longer?
58568While Booth was intently watching their hostile movements, Hallowell asked,"They are Indians, are n''t they?"
58568Who do n''t?
58568Who knows What earth needs from earth''s lowliest creatures?
58568Why?"
58568Will the Bad Spirit touch them?"
58568With a jerk of his body he tore it loose, and going to Hallowell, asked,"Where are you hit now?"
58568Would they hold out until the bridge was reached, provided they escaped the spears of the Indians?
58568You ai n''t crazy enough to suppose that a murder could be committed at such an exposed place, and everybody in town not know it in ten minutes?
58568You are the buffalo that leads the herd?
58568You are the greatest warrior of the Comanches?
58568You ask me to follow you?
58568and where on the lonely route were the damnable deeds committed?
58568darling?"
58568replied the astonished doctor;"Susie, a woman, here too?"
58568said Issachar Noe-- a favorite expression of his when excited--"how can a man content himself in such a spot as this?
58568what do you mean?"
58568with a characteristic shrug, and his ever- ready"Quien sabe?"
29131A bandit-- on Dry Mesa?
29131A line of levels? 29131 A mint, a John D. bank account, a-- Guess?"
29131A note?
29131A place where we--?
29131A placer?
29131About lunch time, is n''t it?
29131Adoption?
29131Afraid?
29131Ah-- Blake?
29131Ai n''t he and that bunch all in cahoots together? 29131 Ai n''t it enough?"
29131Ai n''t you staying too late? 29131 Ai n''t you taken him into your employ?--ain''t you treated him like he was a man?"
29131All is--?
29131All?
29131Already?
29131Am I going to go up? 29131 And cigars or pipes?"
29131And her husband?
29131And now what are you going to do?
29131And what of it when he floods you off your cattle range? 29131 And which are you?"
29131And you own even that splendid pool up where I had my camp?
29131Are there any of the horrid things around here? 29131 Are you locoed?
29131Are you sure of that?
29131As what?
29131As what?
29131Ashamed-- you?
29131Ashton?
29131At you? 29131 Back already?"
29131Believe it? 29131 Belle-- you call her Belle?
29131Blake?
29131Bonanza? 29131 Break up the range?
29131Bullet?
29131But about Chuckie?
29131But about Mr. Blake, Daddy?
29131But baby--? 29131 But how?
29131But if you can not continue your levels?
29131But if you have no experience in climbing?
29131But if you wish us to run them down?
29131But if you''re so opposed to irrigation projects?
29131But is it?
29131But the others?
29131But what did the man look like?
29131But why could n''t I rod for you?
29131But why not?
29131But why should he try to kill me?
29131But why-- why did you not-- tell me?
29131But you ca n''t have_ all_ the water?
29131But you said that the murderer would not--"_ Bah!_ What does he count in this deal? 29131 But, Mr. Blake, pardon me-- How about the water in the cañon?
29131But, you know, so unusual a name--"You mean Chuckie?
29131But-- Genevieve?
29131But-- but--he stammered, completely taken aback,"do n''t your cowboys all smoke?"
29131But-- if he-- Where is Genevieve? 29131 But-- why for-- for him-- in particular?"
29131But-- why?
29131By-- James, Miss Chuckie, you do n''t mean to say you let a tenderfoot string you?
29131Ca n''t it? 29131 Ca n''t you make it''Jenny,''Uncle Wes?"
29131Ca n''t you savvy his game? 29131 Ca n''t you see?
29131Ca n''t you trust to the accuracy of your own work?
29131Camp outfit?
29131Can we, really?
29131Can you guess why he''d be writing to that engineer?
29131Can you wait until we come up from the ranch?
29131Cruel?
29131Daddy could not be expected to discharge him, could he, when Kid did it to save our range? 29131 Deaf and dumb alphabet?"
29131Deer?
29131Did you come out here from Stockchute?
29131Did you hear, Kid?
29131Did you write that one what is most particularly mentioned, the one to that big engineer Blake?
29131Do n''t I know it?
29131Do n''t inexperienced climbers go up the Alps with guides?
29131Do n''t you know it''s against the law?
29131Do n''t you realize how close a miss that was, Lafe?--and the other time, too?
29131Do n''t you see he''s got you, Daddy? 29131 Do n''t you see how we''ve got you corralled?"
29131Do n''t you see? 29131 Do n''t you understand?
29131Do you realize that you want to be careful how you shoot with these high- power rifles?
29131Do you see? 29131 Do you think I can not quit smoking them?"
29131Do you wonder I was flat on my pony''s neck and spurring as hard as I could?
29131Does your father know about this letter?
29131Drunkard?
29131Either he came down more slanting or else--"What do you make of this?
29131Er-- what?
29131Europe?
29131Everybody turning in, Lafe?
29131Feels''most as bad as a bee sting, do n''t it?
29131Fight?
29131Genevieve, will you make out the list? 29131 Genevieve,"she inquired,"did you put cream on the list?"
29131Genevieve?
29131Go down to the bottom of Deep Cañon?
29131Go down?
29131Going away?
29131Going down? 29131 Going to rope the rocks and pull them up for steps?"
29131Got it that bad, have you?
29131Guide?
29131Harm her? 29131 Has he told you everything?"
29131Has n''t she told you about saving me from a rattler?
29131Have n''t I told you?
29131Have n''t broken your level?
29131Have n''t you cut him out of the herd?
29131Have we time enough to look at the place this afternoon?
29131Have you seen any sign of the murderer?
29131He actually killed two of them?
29131He did?
29131He did?
29131He is married?
29131He is only a yearling, but is n''t he just the perfect image of his father?
29131He is wounded? 29131 He ran?"
29131He was not punished?
29131Hear that, Tommy? 29131 Her fortune?"
29131Hey?
29131Him?
29131His guide? 29131 His plans?
29131How about Denver?
29131How about Tom? 29131 How about his drawing on me-- and how about your yearling?
29131How about his offer to drop the whole matter and not go into it at all?
29131How about it, Ashton?
29131How about keeping watch?
29131How about the rope?
29131How about the whole river going to waste, down in Deep Cañon?
29131How about the-- the''if''?
29131How about this letter, though?
29131How about this?
29131How can it be that we shall ever come down again?
29131How could I do otherwise when you asked me?
29131How could I help coming?
29131How could I? 29131 How could that be, when the farmers would divide up his range?"
29131How did you guess?
29131How do you do, Lafayette?
29131How do you know that God will let you climb up out of this hell of stone and water?
29131How do you like this country? 29131 How long do you think they will be down in the cañon?"
29131How was I to know?
29131How''re you feeling?
29131How''re you going?
29131How''s that?
29131How''s that?
29131How''s that?
29131How''s that?
29131How''s that?
29131How''s that?
29131How-- how about that''if''you said this measurement would settle?
29131I am not quite sure that-- You will be careful not to drop him? 29131 I ca n''t imagine who-- Can it be that your guide has a grudge against you on account of his pay?"
29131I send for Blake-- I?
29131I-- I-- But about Genevieve? 29131 If saving her from him is n''t a case of justifiable homicide, what is?
29131In Denver?
29131Indian?
29131Is he-- What does he look like?
29131Is it all right now?
29131Is n''t he a dear?
29131Is n''t it best to know the worst, and have it over?
29131Is n''t it fearfully, fearfully delightful? 29131 Is n''t that a Dutchman''s saying?"
29131Is that all you''ve found out today?
29131Is that all your argument?
29131Is there no other place?
29131Isobel--?
29131Isobel?
29131It shore is deep enough, ai n''t it? 29131 It was fortunate, was n''t it?"
29131It would n''t?
29131It''s this: How''s he going to get electricity to dig his tunnel?
29131It?
29131Jenny?
29131Knowles?
29131Laugh, will you?
29131Lie still?
29131Light it-- how?
29131Look here, Chuckie, you ca n''t mean that?
29131Matter?
29131May I give and receive the same?
29131Might we not go to the new camp and put it in order?
29131My dear, can you doubt it? 29131 My head!--What makes me so weak?"
29131New York?
29131No need? 29131 No?
29131Not if I agree to get out of the way and give you clear running?
29131Not when he''s on the same range with Chuckie?
29131Oh, will you?
29131Pardon me, Miss Knowles,he said,"but do you mind if I ask what is your first name?"
29131Pardon me, but are you the game warden?
29131Pulled the spike?
29131Pulling leather?
29131Really, you can not mean--?
29131Really?
29131Resident Engineer?
29131Sacred--? 29131 Save time?"
29131Seriously, Mr. Ashton, do n''t you think you had better move camp to another section? 29131 Shall I start now?
29131Shall I take first or second?
29131She did?
29131Shot at, and Lafe hit?
29131Since you were fourteen?
29131Smoke?
29131So that was it?
29131So that was it?--And you think that ruined you? 29131 So you have come at last?
29131So you still insist I''m a queen? 29131 Son?
29131Suppose it proved to be lower than Dry Mesa, would n''t that still leave us up in the air?
29131Suppose you unload them and come back along the edge of the cañon?
29131Surely, dear, you do not shoot it?
29131Tenderfoot?
29131Texas trail?
29131That so?
29131That was generous of him, if he really believed--"Did he?--did Genevieve? 29131 The live or the dead one, Daddy?"
29131The man who shot me? 29131 Them?--you say''them,''Daddy?"
29131Then if you did n''t write him, who did?
29131Then perhaps you will know by tomorrow night?
29131Then she is-- I''m sure that she must be-- You said she came from the East, from Chicago?
29131Then you think you can do what the devil ca n''t?
29131Then you think--?
29131Then you will be willing to overlook your past trouble with him?
29131Then-- then how, after all this time--?
29131Think I do n''t know that? 29131 Think you can climb back up this slope without the rope?"
29131Think you could find your way back?
29131Think you feel fit to rod this afternoon? 29131 Thirty- eight?"
29131Through all that mountain?
29131Through that hole?
29131Told me?
29131Tom hurt? 29131 Tom?"
29131Two months would be too short!--And the sooner we are over with this uncertainty-- Lafe, you''ll do your utmost to help Mr. Blake, wo n''t you?
29131Understand? 29131 Unworthy of me-- of me?
29131Up on the hill?
29131Want me to help tote him up by the fire?
29131War plumes? 29131 Was that my fault?"
29131Water? 29131 Well, I''m not so sure--""Have you told him what lands you have deeds to?"
29131Well, have you got the nerve, in case the man is loose over that way?
29131Well, honey,asked the cowman,"did you have him pulling leather?"
29131Well, what about it?
29131Well, what if it ai n''t so deep as the mesa?
29131Well, what''s the joke, honey?
29131Well, what''s wanted?
29131Well?
29131Well?
29131Well?
29131Well?
29131Well?
29131What are you doing there, Kid? 29131 What business you got hunting deer out of season?"
29131What d''you want me to do?
29131What do I care?
29131What do you find?
29131What do you mean?
29131What do you say to that, Ashton?
29131What do you think of it?
29131What do you think of my home?
29131What else could I have expected?
29131What else?
29131What good would that do? 29131 What has happened?"
29131What has kept you so long?
29131What has that to do with Chuckie?
29131What if I work out a practical project? 29131 What if he finds it can?"
29131What if it is n''t?
29131What if that outlaw should come sneaking back?
29131What is it? 29131 What is it?
29131What is it?
29131What is it?
29131What is it?
29131What made you so slow?
29131What makes these frightful chasms?--earthquakes?
29131What of it?
29131What shall we do? 29131 What''s become of my partner?"
29131What''s that?
29131What''s that?
29131What''s the difference how it happened, if it will not happen again?
29131What''s the time?
29131What''s up?
29131What-- what you-- How dare you?
29131What?
29131What?
29131What?--abstaining for a half hour or so? 29131 When do you plan to go down?"
29131When shall we take Genevieve to see the cañon?
29131Where am I? 29131 Where are your eyes?
29131Where did you leave the packhorses?
29131Where you going?
29131Where''d it happen? 29131 Who''d be deer- hunting in July?"
29131Why do n''t you ever go into Stockchute and paint the town red?
29131Why do n''t you shoot him, if you''re so anxious?
29131Why do n''t you shoot?
29131Why need you do that, Tom?
29131Why not fire him anyway? 29131 Why not wait anyway until you can send for your transit?"
29131Why not? 29131 Why not?
29131Why should I, a low fellow like that? 29131 Why should he?"
29131Why, Daddy,she called,"what is it?
29131Why, Mr. Ashton, what is the matter?
29131Why? 29131 Why?"
29131Will you tell your father about their coming?
29131Without waiting to hear your side-- without asking you to explain? 29131 Wo n''t you please give it up?"
29131Would n''t it be easier for you to ride my pony? 29131 Would you have me return, to be booted off the range when they tell your father?"
29131Wrecked?--shipwrecked? 29131 Ye- es?"
29131Yes, what if?
29131Yes, where''s Lafe, honey?
29131Yes, why, if all that''s left is to go down into the cañon?
29131Yes, you do?
29131Yes?
29131Yes?
29131Yet if he should? 29131 Yet may I ask you to excuse me?
29131Yet you say that the fellow is only my age?
29131You are Miss Knowles?
29131You are going down?
29131You are?
29131You ca n''t mean--? 29131 You can lie here-- here-- maimed, already starving-- and can plan like that?"
29131You can tunnel through from the gulch to the cañon?
29131You can''t-- not to save her and have me give her to you?
29131You did n''t? 29131 You did?"
29131You do n''t mean that you--?
29131You do n''t mean, run away?
29131You do n''t?
29131You do?
29131You fired a shot?
29131You had all that to-- to throw away in a single year?
29131You have? 29131 You like him, really?"
29131You mean, fire the cartridges to let them know where we are? 29131 You mean, working for you?
29131You never? 29131 You say that that will decide it, one way or the other?"
29131You say you had started to run the line of levels across to the mountain?
29131You still say that you are going down? 29131 You still think you can go down it?"
29131You thought I could try to-- to shoot you?
29131You want to talk with me about Lafe, honey?
29131You will not fall? 29131 You will, Lafayette?"
29131You will?
29131You wo n''t do anything?
29131You would?
29131You''ll let me go over in the buckboard for them, wo n''t you?
29131You''re not afraid of any more shooting, ma''am, are you?
29131You''re not? 29131 You''ve worked it all out?"
29131You, an engineer? 29131 You-- you here?"
29131Your thieving guide?
29131_ Gowan?_"Kid Gowan, murderer! 29131 _ Marry you?_""Yes.
29131_ Sho!_ It ca n''t be as bad as that, can it?
29131_ Your_ letters?
29131About where did the snake crawl down the hill?"
29131Ai n''t Blake engaged in reclamation projects?
29131Ai n''t afraid you''ll drop too far when you fall off, are you?"
29131Ai n''t this sneaking cuss''s dad either the partner or the boss of Blake?
29131Am I going to try to go up?"
29131And I-- Will you not allow me to make it''Daddy''?"
29131And you say Chuckie comes from Chiquita?
29131And you--?"
29131Are you afraid of him?"
29131Are you blind?
29131Are you locoed?
29131As she paused Genevieve looked up into her agitated face and asked quickly:"But Lafayette?
29131Because I''m willing to give her up, in order to see her saved?"
29131Blake?"
29131Blake?"
29131Blake?--and my new shirt?
29131But God-- Would God permit that evil should befall her?
29131But I-- do you not wonder why I kept silent-- why I denied Mary by my silence?
29131But Mr. Blake-- that wonderful engineer of the Zariba Dam-- he would know, would n''t he?"
29131But about my going ahead here?"
29131But did n''t you speak of six notches?"
29131But even if you find that it looks dangerous, you would n''t want me to let a little risk interfere with my work, would you?
29131But here on the ranch--""Isobel--?"
29131But if he comes back and finds you-- do you not see that if he kills you, he must also kill me?
29131But if such an engineer as-- as Mr. Blake came and looked over the situation and told us we need n''t fear-- don''t you see how--?"
29131But in the morning, when the others come-- Oh, why has n''t Daddy come?
29131But why not call him when he first takes a hand?"
29131But why not tell Blake?"
29131But why?
29131But will Thomas be all right?"
29131But you?"
29131But, Dear--"Genevieve looked at her husband with a shade of anxiety--"even if this project is feasible, do you feel you should carry it through?"
29131CHAPTER III QUEEN OF WHAT?
29131Ca n''t he see the difference?"
29131Catch that, Kid?
29131Could it be Blake?
29131Could it be possible that it had widened-- that it was slipping over?
29131Could the brave ones down in those fearsome depths have failed almost in sight of the goal?
29131D''you want help in looking for your outfit?"
29131Did n''t she ever tell you?"
29131Did n''t you say it is still uncertain about the water?"
29131Did n''t you see the man who was shooting at you?"
29131Do n''t you get the idea?
29131Do n''t you see the tent?
29131Do n''t you think I have a right to keep you posted on all his plans?"
29131Do n''t you want him punished?"
29131Do they believe it now?
29131Do you get that?"
29131Do you know why I am so taken with that girl?
29131Do you think Miss Chuckie can keep him and Ashton from running away if I go to bring in the level?"
29131Do you want your husband to be a shirker and quitter?"
29131Do you wish me to guess his length?"
29131Do you wish your letters now?"
29131Do you wonder why I love him so?...
29131Does Miss Chuckie know it?"
29131Does n''t that sound cowgirlish?
29131Even allowing that this man Blake is the biggest engineer in the U.S., how''s he going to pump that water up over the rim of the cañon?
29131Ever throw a rope?"
29131Gentlemen, who offers?"
29131Go''way and leave you?--when you want him to stay?
29131Had n''t you any more sense than to do that?
29131Had n''t you better head me off before I start in?
29131Has he injured you?
29131Has he moved?"
29131Has n''t she told you?
29131Have n''t I met you before?"
29131Have n''t turned in this early, have you?"
29131Have you been monkeying with the parts, to see how they work?"
29131Have you come here to see if our mesa can be irrigated?"
29131Have you kept watch of him?
29131He crumpled the letter in a convulsive grasp--"Matter?
29131He is a real Indian fighter, like Kit Carson?"
29131He is up here?"
29131He paused for a question:"How about leaving the rifle?"
29131He--""Kid-- shot at you?"
29131Hey, Kid?"
29131How about the winter, though?
29131How about trading him for my pony and the wages due me?"
29131How can I do it without the revolver?"
29131How can I?
29131How can you tell?"
29131How did the hawss start off?--skittish?"
29131How do you feel now?"
29131How do you mean?"
29131How old is he?"
29131How will they ever escape?"
29131How would he ever get a drop of water out of that awful chasm?"
29131How''s this?
29131I can not stay after he--""But why not?
29131I think it is possible to get down that gulch.--Suppose we hitch up?
29131I thought if Mr. Blake came and told you it ca n''t be done-- Don''t you see?"
29131If he builds a reservoir, where could he get enough water to fill it?
29131Is he still sleeping?"
29131Is it not so?"
29131Is n''t he kind and good?
29131Is n''t he?"
29131Is n''t it nice to be able to do fine things for others?
29131Is n''t it time you explained?
29131Is n''t it wonderful, and he so young?
29131Is that one of the orders of nuns?"
29131Is that the latest style on the range?"
29131Is that the way it will be if you get the water and dig the tunnel?"
29131Is that why you carry the pistol?"
29131Is there no break in these terrible precipices?"
29131It could not have happened-- it was all a hideous dream.... Would they never come?
29131It''s right there among the-- Why, what-- where is it?"
29131Just remember what it will mean to her-- just remember that-- when you get him where a shove or a loosened spike-- Savvy?"
29131Knowles?"
29131May I ask you to call Ashton?
29131Must he stay up here on the dry rock while Blake went on down beside the foaming river to drink his fill?
29131No fun thinking of my leg, is it?
29131Now what''re we going to do about him?--each play a lone hand, or make it pardners for this deal?"
29131Of what possible use could it be in climbing the precipices?
29131Of what, pray?"
29131Queen of What?
29131Remember how I used to carry a hair rope on spring round- up?"
29131So that''s what you''ve been working around to?"
29131Suppose a spike gets knocked out or a rope breaks or a loose rock gets pushed over?"
29131Tell me why?
29131The question now is, what are you going to do next?"
29131Then he has proved it to you?
29131Understand?
29131Understand?"
29131Understand?"
29131Was it too far off for you to hear?
29131We''re organizing the Belle Mesa Irrigation and Development Company.--How do you like my new name for Dry Mesa?
29131Well, ma''am, what do_ you_ think of it, if I may ask?"
29131What are they worth now?
29131What caliber was his rifle?"
29131What can it mean?"
29131What do I care about myself if I can save her from you?
29131What does Mr. Blake mean by saying they will leave the servants in the car?"
29131What had become of the knot?...
29131What had he now to live for?
29131What if he should find a way to clamber up the precipices?
29131What if he was a veritable Samson, this conqueror of cañons?
29131What if the man should come back and shoot at us?"
29131What if the man should contrive to escape?
29131What if you have been bucked off this time?
29131What is that, pray?"
29131What is the good of all your engineering-- of all the machinery, yes, and all the culture of civilization, if not to uplift men and women?
29131What of it?"
29131What shall I do?
29131What shall I do?
29131What would I be doing, writing to him or any engineer?
29131What''s the matter?"
29131When can we expect the rope and spikes?"
29131When she had quite finished, he asked a single question:"Think your Daddy wo n''t mind, Miss Chuckie?"
29131Where are those things?
29131Where now was his power?
29131Where will I find another engineer with nerve enough to go down these cliffs?
29131Where''s Gowan-- Kid Gowan?"
29131Where''s your eyes?
29131Where?"
29131Who was it?"
29131Why ca n''t you regard her as your sister, and-- and give over further thought of this irrigation project?"
29131Why is he going on down?
29131Why not?"
29131Why should he tie the splintered level rod to the rope?
29131Why, may I inquire?"
29131Why?"
29131Will it take you long?"
29131Will you dynamite my pedestal if I figure out a way to water your range?"
29131Will you not come up out of the sun?"
29131Wo n''t you tell me about it?
29131Wonder if that is what makes Ashton so sore at me?
29131Would Gowan think of it?...
29131Would n''t rather have another saddle and bridle, would you?"
29131Would you take it in exchange for Rocket and the balance of this hundred dollars over and above what is due me?"
29131Yet after a moment''s pause, she spoke in a composed, almost casual tone:"Then Chuckie is not your own daughter?"
29131Yet it''s just as well for me to start off with no doubts in your mind, in view of the fact that in two or three weeks--""Yes?"
29131Yet why should she continue to inquire about him, now that she knew he was a married man?
29131You ask why?"
29131You ca n''t have figured it out already?"
29131You could have come sooner if she-- Was she lost?
29131You dare go-- at night?"
29131You hear that?
29131You mean put through this irrigation project?"
29131You say he married an heiress?"
29131You surely see no way to lift it out over the top of High Mesa?"
29131You talk about finishing the tunnel?
29131after I have been with you so long, Daddy?
29131ca n''t it?
29131do n''t you see?
29131how could you?
29131or could misfortune have overtaken them in that narrow, cavernous reach of the chasm so close to their objective point?
29131roast Gowan?"
29131was n''t it a splendid thing when he was thrown out of his rut of wastefulness?"
29131what if we''re making all this fuss over nothing?
29131what is it?"
29131what shall we do?"
29131what will they do?
29131will your father never come?"
29131you are certain you will not fall?"
29131you think that was it?"
33498''When first I put this uniform on''--how did that go? 33498 ''Whom has he robbed?
33498A noseguard? 33498 A snake?
33498A specialty of thine?
33498Ah!--Won''t you... get down?
33498Ah, señor, you eshame me that I am not so hospitabble, ees eet not?
33498Ai n''t he the Latin scholar?
33498All this while? 33498 An''before?
33498And how about the little eohippus?
33498And now what? 33498 And tell him to come break Jeff out o''jail?"
33498And who''s to be the judge of whether it''s a good law or not? 33498 And you hardly able to walk?
33498And you wo n''t sing about Sandy to any one else?
33498And you''ll tell me about it?
33498Any of you know what it is?
33498Anything else?
33498Anything of yours you want''em to bring, Bransford?
33498Are you lame at all?
33498Are you lame?
33498Are you lame?
33498Are you sure that Bransford, or any one else, came in here at all yesterday, or did you dream it? 33498 Are you sure?"
33498Besides, why did he run away? 33498 Blonde or brunette?"
33498Bransford?
33498Brother,he said cordially,"will you please go to-- home?"
33498But I''ll see you again----"_ Never!_"----when you''re not so-- cross?
33498But ca n''t Jeff prove where he was, maybe?
33498But has the law no defenders?
33498But one worse than the others-- one he hates most?
33498But we''re friends?
33498But what possible motive could the robber have for going to the dance at all?
33498But why suspect young John?--why not old John?
33498By a good man, in this connection, you mean a bad man, I presume?
33498Ca n''t I?
33498Ca n''t we turn off the road and hide?
33498Ca n''t you write to that one?
33498Cross in a boat then?
33498Cut out from the inside-- then carried out there? 33498 Did n''t I jest tell ye?
33498Did n''t I, now?
33498Did n''t I? 33498 Did n''t see Gibson, did you?
33498Did you rob the post- office at Escondido-- really?
33498Do you intend to start up a correspondence with me without even the formality of asking my consent?
33498Do you mean to tell me you two puling infants are out hunting down a man you never saw? 33498 Does he?"
33498Eh? 33498 Ever read the''Fool''s Errand''?"
33498Fine day, is n''t it?
33498Fine large day, is n''t it?
33498Friend of yours?
33498Get out? 33498 Goin''to talk turkey to me?"
33498Good dinner? 33498 Got a string?"
33498Got that? 33498 Has n''t he a fierce and warlike appearance, though?"
33498Has n''t she gone back to New York, I''d like to know, and left you to get out of it the best way you can? 33498 Have you anything to say?"
33498Have you got any papers for me?
33498He''ll shoot back on proper occasion, then? 33498 Hey?
33498Him? 33498 Hot toddy, this weather?
33498How can I tell? 33498 How could you-- how_ could_ you say that?"
33498How dare you?
33498How does thee like my gray gown?
33498How far is it from here, Jeff?
33498How long has this Lake got to do his filing in, Pappy?
33498How many robbers were there? 33498 How''d you get your clothes so wet?"
33498How''s he making it, Jimmy?
33498Hurt those boys? 33498 Hurt?"
33498I do n''t want to make a bally fool of myself-- do I, old Grasshopper? 33498 I thought you were not coming?"
33498If he-- if he does n''t love you,sobbed the stricken witch,"then you''ll come back to me-- won''t you?
33498If the robbers are frontiersmen they may be easier to get track of, as you suggest; but wo n''t they be harder to get?
33498If you will sing for me afterward?
33498Indeed? 33498 Is he in town?"
33498Is it serious?
33498Is it thou indeed, my son? 33498 Is she blonde or brunette?"
33498Is thee lame?
33498Is this an arrest, or do you just give me this_ in_-vite semi- officiously?
33498Is your friend here? 33498 Jeff,"said Jeff soberly,"are you going to be a damned fool all your life?
33498Jeff,said the mystified Ballinger, spurring up beside him,"what has the gray- haired Register done?
33498John Wesley, do you or do you not believe Stephen W. Lake, of Agua Chiquite, to be a low- down, coniferous skunk by birth, inclination and training?
33498Lake is one talkative little man, is n''t he? 33498 Lake?"
33498Look? 33498 Mad?
33498Maybe Jeff can prove he was somewhere else?
33498Me?
33498Meester Jeff,he demanded,"what you been a- doin''now?"
33498Melting eyes-- and that sort of thing? 33498 Might I ask before or after exactly what fact Monte was an accessory?"
33498No? 33498 Nor take stock of each new masker to see if he possibly was n''t the expected Mr. Bransford?
33498Not Jeff Bransford-- up South Rainbow way?
33498Now... how did Buttinski''s noseguard get into this bank? 33498 Oh!--did he speak?"
33498Oh, I did n''t_ say_ anything? 33498 Oh, I_ do_ know you, do n''t I?
33498Oh, are you hurt?
33498Oh, come ye in peace here or come ye in war?
33498Oh, it''s you, Jimmy? 33498 Oh, old Lars Porsena?
33498Oh, that reminds me-- how''s old Lars Porsena?
33498Oh, the cuckoo is a pretty bird; she comes in the spring----"What do you s''pose that night- hawk thinks about the majesty of the law?
33498Oh, yes, that''s all right; but what makes you think I''m innocent?
33498On the contrary, what made your Billy think it was Lake?
33498One of my guests?
33498Per- rhaps you have some papers for heem?
33498Pretty good article of plain thinking, was n''t it?
33498Ride the sorrel horse then, why do n''t you? 33498 S''pose I thought you''d wait until I come to get it?"
33498Say, Jeff, she''s pretty easy to get acquainted with, what? 33498 See a man on a sorrel horse?"
33498So you believe in doing evil that good may come, do you?
33498So you''ll actually tell a lie to keep from being thought a liar? 33498 So you''ve no objection to make, if I''ve got a few dollars?
33498So_ that''s_ the way of it? 33498 Sure?
33498Thank you,he said; and then, quite directly:"Are you rich?"
33498That one from the Land Office, too?
33498That would be the devil?
33498That? 33498 The Latin, you mean?
33498The first thing you did was to ask me if I was lame? 33498 Then I did n''t beguile you to come?
33498Then why do n''t you get out?
33498There''s really no doubt but that they decided for Lake, I suppose?
33498They got any theory about the robber?
33498Think we can make it?
33498This way, is n''t it?
33498Thought you were going away, yourself, so wild and fierce?
33498Tired, pardner?
33498Travel? 33498 Travel?"
33498Um-- you sing?
33498Want to sell him?
33498Well, anything turned up yet?
33498Well, now, who''d''a''thought that?
33498Well, what are you going to do? 33498 Well, what do you say?"
33498Well?
33498Well?
33498Well?
33498Well?
33498Were you a good man before you became a banker?
33498What Lake is it? 33498 What did he say?"
33498What do they stand for? 33498 What is it that makes him such a dear?
33498What made you so absurd? 33498 What shall I sing?"
33498What sort of a man is this Bransford? 33498 What was it?
33498What you going to do?
33498What''ll you do, Jeff? 33498 What''s the matter with you going?"
33498What? 33498 What?"
33498When-- or if-- your friends find you, wo n''t it hurt you to ride?
33498Where do you live, Hoffman?
33498Who did it, Lars?
33498Who did the holmesing-- John Wesley?
33498Who''s got the gun now?
33498Who, me?... 33498 Why Beebe?"
33498Why Beebe?
33498Why do n''t you ride one of our horses?
33498Why else did you make up as a Friend then?
33498Why not give him a chance?
33498Why not? 33498 Why not?
33498Why-- surely you''re not going now? 33498 Will he live, doc?"
33498Will the watchman die, Alec, d''you think?
33498Will you hold my garments while I stone Stephen?
33498Will you stay here, if you marry her, Jeff?
33498Wo n''t you sit down?
33498Wo n''t your friend come too?
33498Would n''t the railroads sound funny, though? 33498 You have n''t heard of it?
33498You think it''s a put- up job? 33498 You think your secret safe, do n''t you?
33498You wanted to see me, sheriff-- at the hotel?
33498You was n''t lyin'', was you?
33498You were an-- old- timer yourself, were you not?
33498You wo n''t sing it to any one else-- Ellinor?
33498You''re not deputies, then?
33498You''re sure Lake did it? 33498 You''ve been away, have n''t you?"
33498_ Did_ you have a chill, Jeff?
33498_ Quien sabe?_Gibson drew rein.
33498_ We?_ And who''s_ we_? 33498 _ We?_ And who''s_ we_?
33498_ Who the hell wants to live?_A noose flew back from the darkness.
33498***** Have I leave for a slight digression, to commit a long- delayed act of justice-- to correct a grievous wrong?
33498*****"How on earth did you manage it?
33498----what Lake says about us?"
33498A frame- up?"
33498A good sport?
33498A rattlesnake?"
33498After your masked ball, then what?"
33498An Englishman''s house is his castle-- that sort of thing?
33498And I could n''t very well go round asking folks after you''re gone-- could I?
33498And ca n''t you scare up another operator?"
33498And do you suppose I''d have that courthouseful of fools buzzing and whispering at her?
33498And if you ca n''t prove it-- who the hell cares what you suspect?"
33498And those eyes of hers-- a little on the see- you- later style, are n''t they?"
33498And yet, if they were there, we''d hear them laughing-- don''t you think?"
33498Any good?
33498Anything else?"
33498Are n''t you absurd?
33498Are n''t you afraid you''ll get into trouble?"
33498Are n''t you ever coming back?"
33498Are n''t you forgetting that?"
33498Are n''t you hurt-- truly?
33498Are you still mad at me?"
33498Be a great, tall, handsome beast, With hoofs to gallop on?
33498Beebe?"
33498Before you and Leo hit Rainbow?"
33498Besides being an enemy of Lake''s, I mean?"
33498Bransford?"
33498But say, Johnny, if the money had n''t been there would n''t that have been awkward?"
33498But, why Beebe?"
33498By the way, Monte, would you mind if I sent some men to look through your place?
33498CHAPTER VIII ARCADES AMBO"What means this, my lord?"
33498CHAPTER XIV FLIGHT"Keep away from that wheelbarrow-- what the hell do you know about machinery?"
33498Can I borrow some boiling water to mix a small prescription, or maybe seven?
33498Can you keep it to yourself?"
33498Changed your mind again?"
33498Did Jeff-- Mr. Long-- did Mr. Long now attempt to escape?
33498Did he know any of them?"
33498Did n''t they know you?"
33498Did you know him?"
33498Did you want me to stand there like a stuffed Egyptian mummy?
33498Do n''t the men at the other side know him either?
33498Do n''t this head feel better now?"
33498Do we have to go down the same trail again?"
33498Do you know, Mr. Monte, I think you are quite right?"
33498Do you live far away?
33498Do you want to hang?
33498Does Lake pay you by the day or by the job?"
33498Does that mean, by any chance, that I invited you?"
33498E. P.?
33498Echo answers-- why?...
33498Ellinor opened her basket and spread its tempting wares with pretty hostly care-- or is there such a word as hostessly?
33498Ever hear about it, Sagittarius?"
33498Exactly who is Stratton, anyhow?"
33498Fifty?
33498Fight?"
33498Forty?
33498Get him?
33498Got that?
33498Got that?
33498Got your outlaw yet?
33498Griffith?"
33498Had she gone to New York according to the original plan?
33498Had she heard yet?
33498Had we better drop it with a dull, sickening thud?"
33498Happily, either these people are insincere or they reconsider the matter-- else what should we do for families?
33498Has Lake any bitter enemies?"
33498Has he got any close friends here?"
33498Has murder stained his hands with gore?"
33498Have n''t I seen how she bosses her mother round?
33498He sang amid the wind and rain; My wet sands gave his feet delight-- When will that traveler come again?"
33498Her eyes were brimming sorcery; her lips looked saucy challenge; she leaned close for a whispered word in his ear:"How would you like to tackle me?"
33498Here, read this insolent note, will you?"
33498Hobart?"
33498Hope so.... And I shot him?
33498How am I to know this thing ai n''t some more of your funny streaks?
33498How are you going to get home?
33498How can I ever repay you?''
33498How come you fellows to be chasin''him?"
33498How did you know so pat where the little black horse was?
33498How many times did they shoot old Lars-- does anybody know?
33498How old are you, sir?
33498How should I know what you would do?
33498How was I to know you''d stop to fight for her with the very rope round your neck?
33498How would you like to describe that?
33498How''d you get in this game?"
33498How''ll you get to El Paso?
33498How''re you going to get him?
33498I chose my costume solely to trap Mr. Bransford''s eye?
33498I had no idea you thought so much of the girl----""Shut up, will you?"
33498I had to say something-- didn''t I?
33498I just looked an invitation, I suppose?"
33498I really ought to see you safe back to your camp; but-- you''ll understand-- under the circumstances-- you''ll excuse me?"
33498I want only just to ask you----""Why did you come then?
33498I''m on the other side-- see?
33498I''m under obligations to you, and so on-- but I''ve heard all of that kind of talk that''s good--_sabe_?"
33498If I was dodgin''in here like him-- know what I''d do?
33498If I was lying about the money-- how about it then?
33498If I''m Bransford what the deuce am I doing here?
33498If he gets the money and the insurance, too-- see?
33498If you can prove this, why do n''t you cinch me and Felix both?
33498If you''d just said at first that you were in the garden----Oh, why did n''t you?
33498Is it far?"
33498Is it worth while?
33498Is n''t it rather unusual to go uninvited to a ball?"
33498Is n''t that queer?
33498Is that it?
33498Is there any ford, do you know?"
33498Is there any idea what time it was done?"
33498Know anything about this one?"
33498Lake?
33498Lake?"
33498Most actions are the result of mixed motives, you say?
33498My stars, but wo n''t he get the horse- smile when the boys find out?"
33498No hard feelings?"
33498No small leetle cr- rime?
33498Nor drag you into the garden?
33498Nor squeeze your arm?"
33498Not a yeep of protest from you now?
33498Not las''night?
33498Now this Stratton party-- is he some aged and venerable?
33498Of course, if they do n''t come at all----Is your camp far?"
33498Or has he killed ony?
33498Or mask as a Friend in the hope that you would identify me?"
33498Or was it all a damfool kid joke?
33498Or what''s the crime that he has done His foes they are so mony?''"
33498Or, if he''s downtown, what''s his name?
33498Remember me telling you about a girl I saw on Mayhill, the day Nigger Babe throwed you off?
33498Rex-- that''s my partner-- is quite as hungry as I am, you see; but if you could give me something-- anything you have-- to take down there?
33498Ribs or anything?"
33498Say, Gibson, how do you come in this galley?"
33498Say, what are your pardners at the other side going to do for grub?"
33498See any one go by about two hours ago?"
33498See here, who''d sold you your chips, anyway?
33498See here-- if I give you the straight tip will you work it up and keep your head closed until you see which way the cat jumps?
33498See it?
33498Send Bassett in, will you, Billy?
33498Seven days?
33498Shall I bring it down to you or can you climb up if I help you?
33498So he said carelessly:"Let''s see, Bransford went as a sailor, did n''t he?
33498Something like that?
33498Stand the gaff?"
33498Stratton?"
33498Stratton?"
33498Tears in them, maybe?
33498That so?"
33498That squares everything all right, does it?
33498That was a regular triumph of matter over mind, was n''t it?"
33498That would be Lake''s bank?
33498That would be to commeet a r- rudeness-- no?"
33498That''s not very polite, is it?----Are-- are you-- mad to me?"
33498The bank robbery, the murder-- yes, she would hear of them, perhaps; but why need she hear his name?
33498The explorer?
33498The sheriff?
33498Then, in a far- off, hard, judicial tone:"How long, ma''am, if I may ask, have you known that the little black horse was tangled up?"
33498Then:"How''d you get that cut on your head?"
33498There''s your Mr. White, and Griffith, and Gibson-- did I tell you about Gibson?"
33498They take their masks off at midnight-- don''t they?
33498Want to know what I think?"
33498Was I going to make her a target for such vile tongues as yours-- for me?
33498Was ever a poor captain in such a predicament?
33498Was n''t I having a heap of fun?
33498Was n''t that question meant to find out who I was?
33498Was that only a week ago?
33498Were you expecting arrest?
33498Were you told about the violated trunk?
33498What are you going to do, Jeff?
33498What can I know about good songs-- or anything else?"
33498What can you expect?
33498What else could I have said?
33498What for?"
33498What has he stole?
33498What is it?"
33498What is your name?"
33498What kind of a girl is she, anyhow, to hold clandestine interviews with a stranger?...
33498What kind of a sack- and- snipe trick is this, anyway?
33498What made you be a goat, Jeff?
33498What makes you act so?"
33498What next?
33498What''s he done?"
33498What''s that?"
33498What''s that?"
33498What''s the story about?"
33498What''s this?"
33498When I answered,''Not-- very,''did n''t you know at once that it was me?"
33498When did it happen?"
33498Where are you?_""I must go!"
33498Where are you?_"Miss Hoffman whipped off her mask.
33498Where can I see any better time than I had here, or find better friends?
33498Where do you live, Ellinor?"
33498Where''s your pardner?"
33498White?"
33498Who cares how it looks?
33498Who was it said life was a poor imitation of literature?
33498Who was it then?"
33498Who went as a football player, White?
33498Who''re you?
33498Why Beebe?"
33498Why did n''t he come in?"
33498Why did n''t you get out of the water, then, if you are not hurt?"
33498Why do you want me to tell you what you already know?
33498Why not?"
33498Why should you go any farther, anyhow?
33498Why-- why-- why does Policeman Lake pretend he did n''t see that football player?
33498Why?"
33498Why?"
33498Will you tell me truly?"
33498Wo n''t you come back to camp with me?
33498Would he be able to clear himself?
33498Would she lose faith in him?
33498Yet those blasts-- the far- seen fire-- the hearty welcome-- this delivery of himself into their hands?...
33498You ai n''t seen nothing of him, have you?"
33498You fellows"--he turned briskly to the two superintendents--"can''t you hold up your payday, say, until Saturday?
33498You know him?"
33498You own the car, then?"
33498You see how it is, do n''t you?
33498You two?
33498You will play hooky, will you?
33498You''ll go to the hotel with me, gentlemen?
33498You''ll help me, Thompson?
33498You?"
33498_ Un marinero?_""Oh, no; he was atir- re''lak one--_que cosa_?--what you call thees theeng?--_un balon para jugar con los pies_?
33498_ Un marinero?_""Oh, no; he was atir- re''lak one--_que cosa_?--what you call thees theeng?--_un balon para jugar con los pies_?
37492A woman''s curiosity?
37492And Armstrong?
37492And I, can not I accompany you?
37492And by what right did you take that one?
37492And did Mr. Armstrong write them?
37492And did he?
37492And did that damned hound tell you?
37492And did you look for them there?
37492And did you love her so much, then?
37492And do you think?
37492And have you-- did you--"Did I suspect my wife?
37492And how came I here?
37492And how will you prevent my going?
37492And hungry, I suppose?
37492And if they do n''t find me?
37492And in what way are you concerned about her, sir?
37492And is there anything else?
37492And may I see your daughter and plead my cause in person, sir?
37492And my uncle, Mr. Robert Maitland, and the rest on the mountain, what do you think of them?
37492And nobody knows anything about it?
37492And now what is to be done?
37492And since then?
37492And that was?
37492And they will think me-- there?
37492And they wo n''t come up here?
37492And this before I had said a word to you?
37492And what do you propose to take with you?
37492And what had happened to him?
37492And what have I to fear from you?
37492And what is that?
37492And what is that?
37492And what is that?
37492And what is the picture of another man doing in your wife''s locket?
37492And what was that?
37492And when do we start?
37492And when?
37492And where?
37492And who is James Armstrong, may I ask?
37492And why did you wear it?
37492And why not?
37492And will you forget me?
37492And you think they are searching for me?
37492And you wo n''t break it?
37492And you?
37492And your foot?
37492Are these letters addressed to my dead wife?
37492Are you jealous of Louise Rosser?
37492Are you quite comfortable?
37492Are you that wonder of wonders,asked the man, smiling slightly,"an educated woman who knows how to sew?"
37492But I do n''t quite understand?
37492But are n''t you half- way engaged to me?
37492But the wolves?
37492But they would n''t go back without searching for me, would they?
37492But why could n''t he leave her and go for help?
37492But why did you give them to her at last?
37492But why, again?
37492But why?
37492But why?
37492But winter is coming on, you said the lake would freeze to- night, and if it snows?
37492Ca n''t you see,protested the man, drawing nearer to her,"how much I love you?"
37492Could n''t I go with you?
37492Did I hear aright, sir?
37492Did he die?
37492Did n''t you agree to give me a chance?
37492Did you find gold in the hills?
37492Did you jump into the flood for me?
37492Did you know this man?
37492Did you not say to me a little while ago that you liked me better than any man you had ever met and that I might win you if I could? 37492 Did you search for them?"
37492Do you by any chance belong to the Maryland Newbolds, sir?
37492Do you keep up an acquaintance with men of that class, still?
37492Do you know the locket?
37492Do you know this Newbold?
37492Do you know where your camp is?
37492Does it contain another picture?
37492Enid,he asked, and his easy use of the name was a revelation and an illumination to Armstrong,"who is this man, what has he done?"
37492Er-- from Colorado?
37492Good,said Kirkby,"now we''ll take our packs an''--""Do you think there is any danger to Robert?"
37492Has this man mistreated you?
37492Have I not?
37492Have you been awake long?
37492Have you finished?
37492Have you located the claims?
37492Have you needle and thread and cloth?
37492Have you read''em?
37492How dare I?
37492How dare you, sir? 37492 How far down?"
37492How?
37492I am that man that did that thing, but what do you know?
37492I ca n''t get my shoe on and--"Shall I have another look at it?
37492I never broke it to a human being, much less will I do so to you?
37492I think I know the place to which you refer; is it just about where the river makes an enormous bend upon itself?
37492Is it far?
37492Is it possible?
37492Is n''t it true?
37492Is n''t it?
37492Is there anything more that I can do for you?
37492Is this your habit in your love affairs?
37492It that all?
37492Kirkby is a veteran of these mountains and--"But do you know him?
37492May I come in?
37492May I come in?
37492Miss Enid, w''ere are them letters I give you?
37492Miss Maitland?
37492No,pleaded the girl,"ca n''t you see that nothing is of any importance to me but the story?
37492Nothing, nothing,protested the other,"but the world?"
37492Now,said Mr. Stephen Maitland as the servant closed the door,"you and I would best leave the young people alone, eh, Robert?"
37492Now,said he,"there is nothing more I can do for you to- night, is there?"
37492Of course I intend to do that as soon as the spring opens, but what''s the use of trying to do it now?
37492Of her?
37492Oh, Robert, do n''t you think she may be safe?
37492Oh, Robert,pleaded his wife,"is n''t it possible that she may have escaped?"
37492Oh, the man?
37492On that foot?
37492Only yourself?
37492See,she said,"how helpless I am, how weak in your hands?
37492Shall we go together, or separately?
37492Should I have told you?
37492So far as I can love anyone?
37492So you''d take advantage of a weaponless man, would you?
37492Thank you, and now--"Is there anything else before I get supper?
37492The birds of the air did n''t tell it to you, did they?
37492The matter? 37492 There was some other woman?"
37492They are distantly related to a most excellent family of the same name in Philadelphia, I believe?
37492To a man?
37492Under your protection?
37492Was it Newbold?
37492Well,he cried,"have you got anything to say or do about it?"
37492Well,tauntingly asked Armstrong again,"what are you waiting for, are you afraid?"
37492Well?
37492What are honor and self- respect to me? 37492 What are words?
37492What did he say about her?
37492What did you do then?
37492What do you fear?
37492What do you know about Louise Rosser or Newbold?
37492What do you mean?
37492What do you mean?
37492What do you mean?
37492What do you mean?
37492What do you take us for, Steve? 37492 What do you think of it now?"
37492What happened then?
37492What is it?
37492What is it?
37492What is the way?
37492What letters?
37492What matters that?
37492What must we do?
37492What prevents?
37492What then?
37492What''s your hurry, Jim?
37492Where do you go?
37492Where is Enid?
37492Where is he now?
37492Where is he?
37492Where is she now?
37492Where will you stay?
37492Where?
37492Why not?
37492Why not?
37492Why, what''s the matter?
37492Will my daughter''s life be perfectly safe from the Cowboys, Indians and Desperadoes?
37492With you?
37492Would you murder me as you murdered the woman?
37492Yes, and you?
37492Yes,answered the spokesman,"but what about you?"
37492You are going to give them to me?
37492You can use a rifle or gun?
37492You do n''t mean that he actually killed her?
37492You know my story?
37492You mean?
37492You mean?
37492You must remember,he continued,"that you have been alone here in these mountains with a man for over a month; the world--""What, what do you mean?"
37492You say you never saw him, Jim?
37492You think there is no hope of their searching for me here?
37492You wo n''t hold that against me, will you?
37492You would not believe me, eh?
37492Your opportunity, your moderation?
37492Your picture?
37492Your word of honor?
37492Yours?
37492A woman had sent him forth, was a woman to call him back?
37492Ah, indeed, old trapper, whence came the confident assurance of that dogmatic statement?
37492And must he pay for it if he hath achieved it?
37492And why not?
37492And you will come back to me as quickly as you can with the others?"
37492And, yet, who shall say that the old hunter was not right, and that the man himself, as men of old have been, was sent from God?
37492Behind that door what would he find?
37492CHAPTER X A TELEGRAM AND A CALLER"You say,"asked Maitland, as they surveyed the cañon,"that she went down the stream?"
37492CHAPTER XXV THE BECOMING END"Why did you interfere?"
37492Ca n''t you give it to me?
37492Can I live on and on?
37492Can I see you, touch you, breathe the same air with you, be shut up in the same room with you hour after hour, day after day, and go on as before?
37492Can you walk?"
37492Did she ask beauty in her lover?
37492Did she seek in him that fine flower of good breeding, gentleness and consideration?
37492Did you ask the man his business, James?"
37492Did you find the camp?"
37492Did you know that your father has done me the honor to give me your hand, subject to the condition that your heart goes with it?"
37492Do you ever read the western newspapers?"
37492Do you realize that I have been here over a month now?
37492God pity him, fighting against fact and admission of it, yet how could he help it?
37492Had he any part to play in this strange tragedy aside from that he had already essayed?
37492Had he any right to intrude upon her privacy?
37492Hath, this man blessing won or not?
37492He had lost utterly, would he show himself a good loser?
37492He loved her?"
37492He swayed near to her, his voice rose,"What restrains me?"
37492He would of course move on, but where?
37492Honor, what is it?
37492How dare you force yourself into my house and insult me in this way?
37492How do you feel?"
37492How do you mean to treat me?"
37492How long would they continue to exercise dominion over him?
37492How was it to be carried out?
37492Humanity other than he and she in that wilderness?
37492I am sure of what I myself would do for one I love-- I loved I mean, and they--""And they will find me?"
37492I ca n''t begin to count all that you have done for me; my gratitude--""Only that?"
37492I came acrost a bottle by chance an''--""Well, for God''s sake, old man,"cried Armstrong impatiently,"what did you find in it, anything?"
37492I can not be your wife until--""Until what and until when?"
37492I have been consumed with desire to know?"
37492I should despise myself if I were false to the love which my wife bore me, and how could I offer you a blood stained hand?"
37492I want to know who told you about that woman, Kirkby?"
37492If it be true, as you say, that you have grown to-- care so much for me and so quickly--""If it be true?"
37492Is he a-- a friend of yours?"
37492Is it ever nobler to destroy it than to conserve it?
37492Pride, what is it?
37492Quixotic, you say?
37492Say that he had graduated at twenty- one or twenty- two, he would be twenty- eight or twenty- nine years old now, but if so, why that white hair?
37492Self respect, what is it?
37492Shall I not be honest with you?
37492Shall it be the house in Denver, or the ranch, or a real camp in the wilds, Enid?"
37492Strength of body?
37492The casual viewer would have found little to find fault with in the presentment, but Enid Maitland''s eyes were sharpened by-- what, pray?
37492The curtain dropped, when it rose again what was to be expected?
37492Upon decisions so lightly taken what momentous consequences depend?
37492Was he a weakling that he fell at the first sight of another woman?
37492Was he indeed a true man?
37492Was he yet alive?
37492Was it hours or minutes or seconds after that he gained the battle and neared the shore at the lowest edge?
37492Was it in obedience to a higher law even than that writ on the ancient tables of stone?
37492Was it strength of character she sought, resolution, determination?
37492Was it strength of mind she admired?
37492Was it the wisdom of calculation, or was it the wisdom of instinct by which she chose her course?
37492Was she there?
37492Was that the place?
37492Was there in truth any woman there?
37492Was this man to rob him of the latest love as he had robbed him of the first?
37492Was this same working of a disordered brain too much turned upon itself and with too tremendous a pressure upon it producing an illusion?
37492Was this such an instance?
37492We were pledged to each other, a foolish quarrel arose, she was jealous of other girls--""And had she no right to be?"
37492What a singular situation, an observer who knew all might have reflected?
37492What answer could come out of that silent sky?
37492What do I care for Louise Rosser, or for him, or for what he did to her, now?
37492What do you intend to do with me?
37492What do you say, Kirkby?"
37492What else was there for me to do?
37492What had he been about to do?
37492What had he been about to say?
37492What is it that women love in men?
37492What of that?
37492What of that?
37492What was he about to do?
37492What was he about to say?
37492What was he to do?
37492What was the mystery of his life, why was he there, what had he meant when he had blessed the idle impulse that had sent her into his arms?
37492What were the conditions?
37492What would her father say if he could know her position, what would the world say, and above all what would Armstrong say?
37492Whence came he, who was he, what had he seen, where was he now?
37492Where could she find these qualities better displayed?
37492Where did Bradshaw, mild and inoffensive, get it?
37492Where had he gone?
37492Where was it, down by the water''s edge?"
37492Who and what was this man?
37492Who was he?
37492Who was he?
37492Who was that woman whose picture he had taken from her?
37492Who was the woman whose picture he had so quickly taken from her gaze?
37492Who was this woman?
37492Why had so splendid a man buried himself alone in that wilderness?
37492Why was he so quick to remove the picture from her gaze?
37492Why was he there?
37492Would good or evil dominate him now?
37492Would it be so with them?
37492Yet he was not without suspicion; if that suspicion grew to certainty, would he control himself then?
37492You are not in love with anybody are you, Enid?"
37492You are sure?"
37492You have played the coward''s part and the liar''s part in this room--""Did I fight him like a coward?"
37492You have your wife and children, but this young man--""Well, what do you say, Kirkby?
37492You would n''t be willing to stay here while I went down and hunted for your camp?"
37492Your father--""Is he well?"
37492Your foot?"
37492asked the woman,"that I could ever forget you?"
29479''Bout the leddy?
29479A mile down the trail, I think you said?
29479A red mask?
29479A settlement?
29479An''she''s goin'', when?
29479An''the hosses?
29479An''the hull lot of us''ll sleep round the corrals?
29479An''the prime mover?
29479An''the sheriff''s fellers?
29479An''why not?
29479An''you''ll do that-- sure?
29479An''you''re goin'', you an''me?
29479An''you''re payin''fer that teachin''?
29479And did n''t you ask her what it was all about?
29479And do you mean to say there is no law to protect people on these outlying stations? 29479 And food and money?"
29479And the weeds?
29479And the''gun''message?
29479And this is the reason you''ve stayed so long on the ranch?
29479And this profound purpose?
29479And what about your girl?
29479And what form do you think his''drop''will take?
29479And what has become of them-- I mean Mrs. Orr and her daughter?
29479And what if it were no accident?
29479And what were they like?
29479And where''s your wife living now?
29479And who''s Black Anton?
29479And you want to get after them?
29479And you went?
29479And you''ve christened her''Lady Jezebel''?
29479And you?
29479Another accident?
29479Anton? 29479 Anton?
29479Any o''you boys lendin''a saddle, or shall we find him a rockin''-hoss to run around on?
29479Any o''you fellers seen Joe Nelson along yet?
29479Any one in?
29479Belongs to the ranch?
29479Blind Hell, did I?
29479Bones? 29479 Boys, eh?"
29479Brave? 29479 But how do you----?"
29479But nothing will happen to you-- Jack?
29479But what can we do? 29479 But what''s his latest achievement?"
29479But when it comes, Tresler, you''ll stand by? 29479 But you said you had two things that you considered worth living for?"
29479Can I give him anything for you? 29479 Can I-- that is, does the proprietor take-- er-- guests?"
29479Clean, eh?
29479D''you know what it''ll be''tween you two? 29479 D''you want the girl to hear everything?
29479Daytime? 29479 Dead?
29479Did Marbolt tell you of the previous visits of these raiders? 29479 Did Nelson say why he was late?"
29479Did you know the man?
29479Do you see? 29479 Eh?
29479Eh? 29479 Eh?
29479Ever seen this place before?
29479F- Fyles?
29479Feelin''better? 29479 Feelin''good?"
29479Feeling better, Joe?
29479Gather?
29479Goin''right up to see Jake?
29479Goin''to Skitter Bend?
29479Goin''to ride?
29479Going?
29479Guess blind hulks is a pretty hard man to deal with, eh? 29479 Guess it''s fer some feller to ride to- morrow-- eh?
29479Guess you ai n''t figgered on the''old man''''bout her?
29479Guess you ai n''t never got hitched?
29479Guess you had trouble fixin''him up- stairs?
29479Guess you''re payin''a premium?
29479Harmless-- useful?
29479He ai n''t showed no sign, Miss Dianny?
29479He will leave your girl alone, will he?
29479He''s already done so?
29479He''s better, eh? 29479 He''s not dead?"
29479Heerd suthin''of it? 29479 Hello, Nelson, where are you going at this hour of the night?"
29479Her? 29479 His face?"
29479How goes the time?
29479How many?
29479How''d it suit you, Tresler?
29479How?
29479I do n''t wish to give offense, but tell me why, if you have discovered so much about Anton, have you let these things go on so long? 29479 I presume I start work in earnest to- morrow morning?"
29479I suppose you settled down, and things went all right, though?
29479I understand you intend to stay with us for three years?
29479I wonder if it were an accident?
29479I wonder what''s on the other side?
29479Is it absolutely necessary to tell Jake? 29479 Is she yours?"
29479Is this Forks Settlement?
29479Is this the way you learn ranching, Mr. Tresler? 29479 Is-- is your father dead, or-- only wounded?"
29479Jake?
29479Kind o''weakenin''?
29479Langwidge? 29479 Law?
29479Law?
29479Letter? 29479 Libel?"
29479Manners? 29479 Maybe?"
29479Might I ask whom I have the pleasure of addressing? 29479 Mule?"
29479Murdered?
29479My father?
29479My girl?
29479No bones broken?
29479Not to know?
29479On what account?
29479Pretty sharp, eh?
29479Raw,he said,"will you ride in for the doctor?"
29479Rye?
29479Say, Arizona,said one of the men quietly,"what was you yarnin''''bout?
29479Say, I guess you ai n''t never had a cyclone hit you?
29479Say, Shaky,he went on,"how do Slum fix you in his-- hotel?
29479Say, d''you know what he was doin''around this house last night when he saw those hoss- thief guys, or shall I tell you?
29479Say, did n''t you hear me callin''?
29479Say, wot was you sayin''to the gal?
29479Say, you''ll stick to what you said?
29479Say-- they''re gone?

29479Shall I go on?
29479Shall I read it to you, or would you----?
29479Shall I tell you the whole story? 29479 Shame?

29479Skitter Bend Ranch?
29479Slum Ranks?
29479Strike''em?
29479Tell me,she said, abruptly;"why did you ride that animal?"
29479That being so, I''d like to know what you were doing around the house at that hour of the night?
29479That you, Arizona?
29479The bruises or the lamp?
29479The noise? 29479 Them?
29479Then I''m not wanted to- night?
29479Then it is wimmin?
29479Then what the devil kept the little swine?
29479Then what''s the object?
29479Then what''s to be done?
29479Then why in h---- did n''t you come?
29479Then why on earth did you do it?
29479Then you do n''t sleep up at the house?
29479Then you will not consider my proposal?
29479This Red Mask?
29479Three years o''Skitter Bend?
29479To that house?
29479To?
29479Tresler, did you say?
29479Trouble? 29479 Wal, blind- hulks has passed-- eh?
29479Wal,said Arizona, as they stood leaning against the bars of the biggest corral,"guess ther''s goin''to be a night- guard?"
29479Wal?
29479Wal?
29479Wal?
29479Wal?
29479Wal?
29479Wal?
29479Was Anton----?
29479Was I to stand lamb- like and accept a thrashing from that unconscionable ruffian? 29479 Was I wrong, Jack, in not telling them at the inquest?
29479Well, Jake?
29479Well, if he were here to- night, what does it portend?
29479Well, look here, have we any near neighbors?
29479Well, what about the men for Willow Bluff, Jake?
29479Well, what would you have?
29479Well, why are you all here? 29479 Well?
29479Well?
29479Well?
29479Well?

29479What are you doing here, father?
29479What are you goin''to do, my girl?
29479What are you going to do about it?
29479What are you going to do next?
29479What blazin''racket are you raisin''ther''?
29479What could a drunken choreman do anyways? 29479 What denomination?"
29479What do I make of it? 29479 What do you make of it?"
29479What do you mean?
29479What do you mean?
29479What do you mean?
29479What do you think it means?
29479What does Jake want that for?
29479What in h---- are you doin''here?
29479What is the matter with you, girl?
29479What is''t?
29479What others?
29479What religion?
29479What say you, Jake? 29479 What the blazes d''you think you''re doing?"
29479What to do?
29479What trouble has brought you round here at this hour?
29479What would you have done had he struck you? 29479 What''s that?
29479What''s that?
29479What''s that?
29479What''s the game? 29479 What''s the trouble?"
29479What''s this?
29479What''s this?
29479What''s to be done? 29479 What''s up?
29479What''s up?

29479Wher''s he goin''?
29479Where am I?
29479Where do I sleep?
29479Where is he-- where is Jake?
29479Where is he?
29479Where was you last night, Anton?
29479Where''s Mosquito Bend Ranch?
29479Where, I''d like to know, have you been all this time?
29479Which means?
29479Who is he? 29479 Who is he?"
29479Who is there on this ranch that can not at all times be accounted for? 29479 Who told him about us?"
29479Who told you?
29479Who''s going to build a ranch on this side? 29479 Who''s needin''me?"
29479Who-- who did it?
29479Whom do you suspect? 29479 Why Willow Bluff?"
29479Why are you sitting there?
29479Why ca n''t you leave the boy alone? 29479 Why does a man do anything?"
29479Why may I not marry? 29479 Why not take concerted action?
29479Why? 29479 Why?"
29479Why?
29479Why?
29479Why?
29479Will I do?
29479Will you come with the sheriff when he interviews-- er-- our client?
29479Will you point me out the hotel?
29479Will-- will you not take me at my word, Jack?
29479Wo n''t you join me?
29479Women- folk? 29479 Wounded?"
29479Yes, why? 29479 Yes?
29479You ai n''t quittin''?
29479You are going to give Tresler up now?
29479You are not sure? 29479 You come from Springfield, Mr. Tresler, I understand?"
29479You have been to see-- and help-- young Orr''s mother and sister? 29479 You hear?"
29479You here?
29479You killed him?
29479You know?
29479You mean when she upset everything during the fight?
29479You mean you will tell Jake-- to his face?
29479You mean-- Jake?
29479You mentioned Blind Hell just now?
29479You remember that night in the kitchen, when you asked me to----"Marry? 29479 You remember the day I woke to find myself here, Danny?"
29479You saw them?
29479You saw-- Red Mask-- last night?
29479You see?
29479You think that Jake''s quietly getting the drop on me?
29479You want to see my father?
29479You were married?
29479You would, would you? 29479 You wus good to her, wus you?
29479You''d like to find him?
29479You''ll give this man up-- now?
29479You''ll jest round that gal up into your own corrals, an''set your own brand on her quick, eh?
29479You''ve heard tell of hoss thieves an''Red Mask? 29479 You''ve heard the story of his latest escapade?
29479You''ve possibly heard?
29479Yours?
29479''A tidy ranch, this, eh?
29479''An''why for,''you asks,''do their punchers an''hands stand it?''
29479''What is the trouble?''
29479''Wher''wus you workin''around before?''
29479After that, we deal accordin''--savee?
29479Aloud he asked,"Then how do you account for it?"
29479Am I not your own flesh and blood?"
29479Am I right?
29479Am I so hateful?
29479An''I sez, why?"
29479An''fer why?
29479An''he sez,''You mean you ai n''t goin''out wi''me?''
29479And as he went Tresler called out--"How much start has he?"
29479And had he not fully explained his views on the matter?
29479And how are two or three of us going to get a gang of ten or twelve?
29479And where are you taking him?"
29479And where is he?
29479And why not?
29479And why was it there on a disused trail?
29479And your reasons?"
29479And,"he added, with redoubled earnestness,"are you sure Arizona will hunt that man down?"
29479Any message?"
29479Anything fresh?"
29479Being ready to part then, why not now?
29479Broad forehead----""Any lines?"
29479But he may die, eh, Diane?
29479But what makes you think he dislikes me more than most people?"
29479Ca n''t you see there''s not a cent''s worth of evidence against the man yet?
29479Can I see him now?
29479Carney, here, is going to fix me up; are n''t you, Carney?"
29479Could I ever forget it?"
29479Could she not smuggle him up- stairs after her father had had his supper and retired to his bedroom?
29479Could the lost ground be regained in eight miles?
29479D''you hear?
29479D''you see what you''ve done?
29479Dead sure I must''a''lost it?"
29479Dead?
29479Did n''t get your name?"
29479Did not the rancher know?
29479Do I understand that you are going to throw me over simply because he tells you to?"
29479Do you hear?
29479Do you know why?
29479Do you mean to tell me that men sit down quietly under such dastardly tyranny?"
29479Do you not see what trouble it will cause to us; my father, me?"
29479Do you think Marbolt''s going to turn us all loose on the war- path?
29479Doin''night- guard?
29479Drunk?"
29479Eh, dearest?"
29479Eh?"
29479Even with a far better horse in pursuit, how many miles must be covered before that distance could be made up?
29479Ever have her come at you with both front feet, and her mouth open?"
29479For any partic''lar reason?"
29479Guess I''ll git right over an''tell her to fix-- eh?"
29479Guess you ai n''t been crazy enough to tell him that Tresler''s been sparkin''you?"
29479Guess you ai n''t got yours on your hip?"
29479Guess you ai n''t heard tell of Red Mask an''his gang, neither?"
29479Guess you ai n''t tried it any?"
29479Had a pleasant talk with the old man?"
29479Had he been looking for him, Tresler, or some one else?
29479Hah?"
29479Hah?"
29479Has any one been found who could identify even his figure?
29479Has any one ever seen under that mask?
29479Has anybody?
29479Has she been ridden while I''ve been sick?"
29479Have I no claims on your toleration?
29479Have I right?"
29479Have none of you sense enough to get after him?"
29479Have you a notion?"
29479Have you ever heard where he runs his cattle?
29479Have you got him?"
29479He is blind, and I-- I am his only-- oh, what am I saying?"
29479He is n''t dead?
29479He knew he must wait the cowpuncher''s pleasure; and why?
29479He knew without inquiry who it was that was weeping within; who else but Diane could it be?
29479He may adopt some way of getting rid of me----""What way?"
29479He''d got me by the throat, and-- what''s the matter?"
29479Him dead?
29479Honest?
29479How are you doin''with her now?"
29479How came you around that house?"
29479How can we do anything?"
29479How far is he to be trusted?"
29479How have I been ungrateful?
29479How''m I goin''to cut that all- fired buckskin out o''the bunch wi''you gawkin''around like a reg''ment o''hoboes?
29479How''s that, heh?
29479How?
29479How?"
29479I did n''t mention it before, because-- because----""Did you say the hills?"
29479I must not marry you-- dare not----""Dare not?"
29479I saw her----""An''?"
29479I suppose,"turning to Jake,"you have not heard?"
29479I''m goin''to get her,--an''what do I pay in return?
29479If she found that her heart, so long starved of affection, overcame her sense of duty, was there much blame?
29479Is he dead?"
29479Is it absolutely necessary to put yourself in such peril?
29479Is it marry, or am I to go to the Arctic regions fishing for polar bears without an overcoat?
29479Is n''t that unusual?
29479Is there anything wrong about me?
29479Is your father to be victimized?"
29479It''s drink; see?
29479Jake?"
29479Jest wher''did I put that now?"
29479Love?
29479Love?
29479Makes you sick to see folks gittin''value fer their dollars, do n''t it?"
29479Marbolt?"
29479Marry her, eh?"
29479May I not share something of your troubles?
29479Maybe you can tell if a horse has been recently saddled, even after grooming?"
29479My-- my dress, for instance?"
29479New hereabouts?"
29479No, tell me he is n''t dead?"
29479Now I guess you ai n''t never pumped lead into the other feller, which the same he''s doin''satisfact''ry by you?
29479Now, Fyles,"he went on, turning to the officer, who had been looking on as an interested spectator,"have you any news for Miss Marbolt?"
29479Now, is this all to go on without protest?
29479Now, what the deuce sort of blind disease is that?
29479Now, who?"
29479Oh, Jack, Jack, why do n''t you speak?
29479Oh, Mr. Tresler, what are we to do?
29479Oh, do n''t you see?
29479Remittance man?"
29479Savee?
29479Savee?
29479Savee?
29479Savee?
29479Savee?
29479Savee?
29479Savee?
29479Savee?
29479Savee?"
29479Savee?"
29479Savee?"
29479Say, Carney,"turning back to the bar complainingly,"wher''s them durned brandy''cocks''Mr. Tresler ordered a whiles back?
29479Say, Tresler,"the lean figure leant over toward him, and the wild eyes looked earnestly into his--"it''s right, then-- dead right?"
29479Say, boys, who''s goin''to see the boss?
29479Say, he never told you''bout that temperator feller, Tresler, did he?"
29479Say, shall I tell you what he''s doin''?
29479Say, what wus you doin''around that house?
29479Say, you''ll jest round that gal up into your own corrals, an''set your own brand on her quick, eh?
29479Say, you''re sure, plumb sure it ai n''t in one of my pockets?
29479Say,"the choreman broke out suddenly,"you do n''t figger to git boostin''steers in that rig?"
29479See?
29479See?
29479See?
29479See?
29479See?
29479See?''
29479Sez she,''Father, how can you be so unkind after what Arizona has done for you?
29479Shall we go out to him?"
29479Shame?"
29479She loved him, so what else was there to do but to tell him so?
29479Sheriff?"
29479Should he tell Arizona?
29479Should she ever forget the dreadful scene?
29479Slow-- eh?
29479The effect suited the foreman, and he went on with a sardonic leer--"An''you''ll have''blood for blood''o''Red Mask?
29479The little man turned with a start"Eh?
29479The murder of Manson Orr?"
29479Then he asked sharply--"Why does your father keep him?"
29479Then he asked,"Is it the only spare bunk?"
29479Then the passion of grief let itself loose, and Diane cried,"And why not?
29479Then what right have you to refuse to allow me even speech with him?
29479Then, as an afterthought,"Why ai n''t you out on the range?"
29479Then, noting the fixed stare in the man''s eyes, he went on with some impatience,"What the dickens are you staring at?"
29479There''s only one like her-- eh?"
29479There''s the sheriff----""Eh?
29479This bein''so, I ask myself, what has this feller come around with his yarn to me for?
29479Tresler?"
29479Wal?"
29479Was he praying for the soul which he knew to be passing from his body?
29479Was it a possible jump?
29479Was that cover a mask?"
29479Well, well, so you have come to learn ranching?
29479Well?"
29479What I want I''m goin''to have, an''you''ve got to give-- see?
29479What about bl-- your father, missie?"
29479What are you doing here?"
29479What are you saying?"
29479What could he say?
29479What could these men know or understand of such a matter?
29479What did you mean?"
29479What do you think?"
29479What does he look like?
29479What form would his attempt take?
29479What had he done in the cause he had espoused?
29479What happened after she bolted?"
29479What have I to be grateful for?
29479What if I rounded to the gove''nor an''got him fired?
29479What interest have you, dare you have, in that brainless boy?
29479What is it?
29479What is she like now?"
29479What of your men?"
29479What was that to the raking stride of his untamed mare?
29479What was the object of his espionage?
29479What were you doin''in Marbolt''s kitchen?"
29479What were you doin''round here last night?
29479What would be easier than for him to get her out of the way, and then have Jake deport her patient to the bunkhouse?
29479What would he do?
29479What would he say?
29479What''s itchin''you, blast you?"
29479What''s the matter with me?
29479What''s the matter with this Julian Marbolt?"
29479What''s the time?
29479What''s to happen o''night time?"
29479What, he wondered, had happened to the little choreman?
29479What?"
29479When wus you gittin''around agin?
29479Where are the boys?
29479Where could such a trail lead?
29479Where could the cattle run?"
29479Where else should he go?
29479Where is he?"
29479Where was Joe, and what was he doing at this hour of the night?
29479Whither?
29479Who found him?
29479Who had Jake been out looking for?
29479Who has set it up?
29479Who said?"
29479Who was there when he died?"
29479Who''s comin''?"
29479Who''s fer''draw''?"
29479Who?"
29479Who?"
29479Whom?"
29479Why can I not marry?
29479Why do you keep me at your side?
29479Why do you stand there like an imbecile?
29479Why had such a trail been made, and where-- where could it lead to?
29479Why have you told me?
29479Why is that board there?
29479Why not resort to what was recently suggested-- a vigilance party?"
29479Why should he not carry his story to him?
29479Why should he not take this man into his confidence, and so work out the trapping of the gang?
29479Why?
29479Why?
29479Will you submit?
29479Would he marry Diane?
29479Would she marry him?
29479Would she see it?
29479Would she, freakish brute that she was, realize her own danger, and, for once in her desperate life, do one sensible act?
29479Y''see we''re kind o''dependin''on him, Arizona an''me----""What for?"
29479Yes, do n''t y''see?"
29479Yes?"
29479You being about my size, I wonder if you could sell me a pair of pants, such as you fellows ordinarily wear?"
29479You do n''t happen to belong to-- to Blind Hell?"
29479You have grown tired of me already?"
29479You have seen him?"
29479You kind o''like most fellers?"
29479You know''Tough''McCulloch?"
29479You''ll fetch him out, savee?
29479You''ll plug hard fer her, jest as ef it was you he was tryin''to do up?
29479You''ll stop him?
29479You''re goin''to quit us?"
29479You?
29479Younger son?"
29479Your father murdered, boy?"
29479he shouted on--"what does it say?
29479slave- trader, was he?
29479that you, Jake?"
30826A gambler?
30826A strike?
30826Ai n''t I got a right to be heard in my own case?
30826Also,said Talbot Ward irrelevantly,"did you notice how fat all their mothers are?"
30826And Vasquez?
30826And dividin''eighty by five?
30826And how do you expect to determine this case?
30826And how long from here to Sutter''s Fort by horse?
30826And how much, about, are the goods?
30826And how''s the money to pay them to be collected? 30826 And me with fifteen hundred good dollars?"
30826And the Porcupine Flat venture was a bad loss?
30826And the glass pillars will always be here; eh, Billy?
30826And the gold?
30826And the mud? 30826 And the principles of elementary navigation by dead reckoning?"
30826And the second is, what are we going to do with ourselves?
30826And then where will their owners be?
30826And what did the blame critter mean by that?
30826And what prevented Brannan, after he had heard your scheme, from going out on his own hook, and pocketing_ all_ the proceeds?
30826And when you come right down to it, what''s the use of going back? 30826 And where does it go to?"
30826And you?
30826Any plans?
30826Anybody got any idees as to why we should n''t follow Shirttail in this matter? 30826 Anybody need a drink?"
30826Are they coming our way?
30826Are they?
30826Are you a friend of his?
30826Are you sure those were the same Indians?
30826Are you trying to intimidate me, sir?
30826Around the Horn?
30826As I call the names, will each gentleman step forward and draw his slip?
30826At Italian Bar,went on Talbot,"how much did you make?"
30826At the election, who would take interest to elect a decent man, even if you could get hold of one? 30826 Barring mining?"
30826Bound for San Francisco?
30826But how do we do it?
30826But it ees good, the dance, eh, señores?
30826But somewhere back in the hills?
30826But was that fair to the flour people?
30826But we''ve got to start pretty soon after noon, and in the meantime where do we eat?
30826But why did you do it?
30826But why do n''t you fellows branch out?
30826But----?
30826Can I speak to you alone a moment?
30826Can we dig right next to you, then?
30826Can we get to where they are?
30826Can we really prove anything against them?
30826Can you give me one?
30826Can you keep out of them?
30826Can you lick all the others?
30826Can you make out where Higgins''s store was?
30826Can you tell me what time it is?
30826Crews skipped to the mines, I suppose?
30826Did I kill him?
30826Did n''t see anything of our three horses?
30826Did you discover anything for yourself?
30826Did you ever hear of rounds in a real fight?
30826Did you ever hear of such a damfool way of doing the thing?
30826Did you get all the goods over?
30826Do n''t know who John McGlynn is?
30826Do n''t you get any gold?
30826Do n''t you want to keep this claim next me?
30826Do ye now?
30826Do you get any warning in a real fight?
30826Do you give up?
30826Do you know Danny Randall?
30826Do you know what they are doing?
30826Do you not regret the changed conditions?
30826Do you take me for a robber, Talbot?
30826Do you think we''ll advertise the date? 30826 Do you want two good horses and some blankets?"
30826Do you, Frank Munroe, subscribe to this document as a man of honour, so help you God?
30826Do?
30826Does n''t it belong to anybody?
30826Don Luis,said the court formally,"what do you, as expert, make of that?"
30826Express business busted?
30826Fair?
30826Farm bred, of course?
30826Feel that breeze?
30826Flapjacks?
30826Fool meetings?
30826For how long?
30826Gamblers?
30826Going back home, or mining? 30826 Got any tobacco, boys?"
30826Got your boat yet?
30826Had n''t thought of it that way, had you?
30826Hang who?
30826Has he paid his share of the lodgings?
30826Has n''t he come in yet?
30826Has this man any friends here?
30826Have n''t you discovered that the American has a perfect genius for organization? 30826 Have you got your baggage with you?"
30826Have you struck it, too?
30826Have you thought what a lucky escape you yourself had?
30826How about our two horses and our blankets, and this boat?
30826How about that second story?
30826How about when it rains?
30826How about you, Frank?
30826How are you going to finish all this business you''ve scared up, and get off to the mines within a reasonable time? 30826 How did you do that?
30826How did you get hold of this land?
30826How did you guess what it was?
30826How do I look, boys, with a halter around my neck?
30826How do you know I''ll leave it?
30826How do you like being popular heroes?
30826How do you like these?
30826How long have you been in the mines?
30826How long would it take?
30826How long you going to stay?
30826How long?
30826How many of them is there?
30826How many of you belong here?
30826How much all told?
30826How much did you get for them?
30826How much did you offer to pay him?
30826How much do you get out of it?
30826How much is one twentieth of two thousand thousand?
30826How much is the river fare?
30826How much?
30826How much?
30826How you getting on?
30826How?
30826I did n''t mean----"Did n''t you?
30826I getta my Italian fiddle? 30826 I should put it into the heads of those three hundred men that they ought to get their passage money back?"
30826I should think you''d find it easier later in the day when the wind came up?
30826I suppose we ca n''t expect to get colour every time?
30826I suppose you know you are proceeding against a regularly constituted officer of the law?
30826I thought you said the time was not ripe?
30826I ver''good fren''? 30826 I_ am_ drunk, old deacon,"rejoined Talbot,"but with the Wine of Enchantment-- do you know your Persian?
30826If we''re going to be partners-- and that''s desired and understood, I suppose?
30826In New York long?
30826Is he a friend of yours?
30826Is it a duel; and are you gentleman here to act as my seconds?
30826Is it yourself, Judge Girvin?
30826Is it''flour''or''flake''?
30826Is that a plutocrat?
30826Is that gold?
30826It seems to us unnecessary, but who can tell? 30826 Jim Recket?"
30826Johnny?
30826Let''s pick''em out by hand?
30826Licked? 30826 Look here, Johnny,"I said to him one day,"what''s the matter with those fellows?
30826Lost? 30826 May we look?"
30826Me, home?
30826Me? 30826 Mines for you, Johnny, or home?"
30826Mines?
30826No inquests?
30826No? 30826 Nor home?"
30826Nothing done?
30826Now how do you suppose they got her out here?
30826Oh, is n''t there?
30826Paid for how, and when?
30826Pay dirt, hey? 30826 Pete,"I turned on him suddenly,"do n''t you know they''d skin you alive if they found out you''d been here?"
30826Probably the other man is a servant?
30826Question is,said Johnny,"what do we do with them?"
30826Robbed? 30826 She said,"replied Ward,"literally this:''Why do n''t you take any of them without bothering me?
30826Since which time Yank has been out of it completely?
30826Slack off that rope and let a man take a parting drink, ca n''t you?
30826So you proceeded to reverse matters? 30826 Strike it?"
30826Struck the dirt?
30826Suppose the camp does n''t back us up?
30826Tell me, who and what is Danny Randall?
30826That so? 30826 The captains?"
30826The gang?
30826The goddess fortune-- what else? 30826 The_ what?_"we yelled in chorus.
30826Then you''re not a friend of this Hound?
30826Then you''re not going back to the mines?
30826There''s plenty of gold?
30826Those fellows would stand together, but who of the lot would stand by us? 30826 Undertakers?"
30826Want to get after them?
30826Warp them in?
30826Well, Don Luis,repeated the court,"what do you make of it?"
30826Well, gentlemen?
30826Well, sir?
30826Well, what in hell did you mean? 30826 Well, what of it?"
30826Well, who''s to decide, in case of dispute, which is the right man and which the wrong man? 30826 Well, why did n''t you?"
30826Well, why do n''t you settle?
30826Well, why not?
30826Well?
30826Well?
30826What am I to do?
30826What am I wanted for?
30826What are we_ going_ to do? 30826 What are you getting, boys?"
30826What are you going to do with your shares, boys?
30826What are you going to do?
30826What are''keskydees''?
30826What did she say?
30826What did they steal?
30826What did you do?
30826What do you bet on Warren''s place? 30826 What do you care for that gang?"
30826What do you intend, Randall?
30826What do you mean by that?
30826What do you mean?
30826What do you mean?
30826What do you think of that?
30826What do you want done with him?
30826What do you want me to do?
30826What do you want to stick here for like a lot of groundhogs? 30826 What do you want?"
30826What for? 30826 What in thunder did they put the forfeit clause in for if it was n''t expected we might use it?"
30826What is his profession?
30826What is it, Pete?
30826What is it, boys?
30826What is there to be done?
30826What next?
30826What of that?
30826What then?
30826What treatment?
30826What was he like?
30826What was the matter?
30826What was there to do?
30826What will you do with me?
30826What would you do, Doctor?
30826What''n hell you fellows talking about?
30826What''s happened?
30826What''s that to you?
30826What''s that, John?
30826What''s that?
30826What''s the alternative?
30826What''s the fare?
30826What''s the matter with going over to the Moreña cabin?
30826What''s the matter with him?
30826What''s the matter with them?
30826What''s the matter with this here?
30826What''s the matter, Billy?
30826What''s the row?
30826What''s the trouble?
30826What''s to prevent the merchants doing this same hiring of ships for themselves?
30826What''s to prevent?
30826What?
30826What_ are_ you drivelling about?
30826When did you get here?
30826When is that?
30826Where are the others? 30826 Where can I get one of these?"
30826Where did you come in?
30826Where do you expect to get the money?
30826Where is Tom Cleveland?
30826Where the devil does it all come from?
30826Where you been?
30826Where''s Johnny?
30826Where''s McGlynn?
30826Where''s McNally?
30826Where''s Missouri Jones?
30826Where''s Yank?
30826Where''s the proprietor of this place?
30826Where''s the------------ that is going to make some money out of arresting me?
30826Where''s your usual crowd?
30826Where?
30826Where?
30826Whereabouts is your claim?
30826Which is it to be?
30826Which is?
30826Whither would a thief run to? 30826 Who are you?"
30826Who were talking?
30826Who would you elect?
30826Who''ll chip in?
30826Who''s he?
30826Why did n''t some of them go out and hire ships on their own account?
30826Why did n''t you let us in on it?
30826Why did you do it?
30826Why did you hit me at first, as you did? 30826 Why do n''t you?"
30826Why not bury it?
30826Why not drain the bay?
30826Why not? 30826 Why not?
30826Why not?
30826Why not?
30826Why not?
30826Why should I fight you?
30826Why?
30826Why?
30826Will you go, Sam, if we pay you for going?
30826Will you tell me, by all that''s holy,_ why_ you turned your back on the door?
30826Wo n''t some one steal them?
30826Wo n''t they attempt a rescue?
30826Would you expect to get off your clothes in a real fight?
30826Would you have been willing to have dropped out of this partnership?
30826Would you have done it?
30826Would you have had me, or any man, brute enough to go through with it?
30826Yes?
30826Yes?
30826Yet you never heard----What camp?
30826You are n''t going to lie down?
30826You are the man who stuck up Scar- face Charley in Morton''s place, ai n''t you?
30826You do n''t''wash''yourself?
30826You had luck,said Talbot non- committally,"and you ran a strong risk of coming back here without a cent, did n''t you?
30826You have n''t sold them?
30826You lika music?
30826You remember what Randall-- or the doctor-- said about the robberies, and the bodies of the drowned men floating? 30826 You think so?"
30826You want to bite and gouge and scratch, then?
30826You''ll be comin''alone?
30826Your fee, sir?
30826Your grant is a large one?
30826''How about all those other fellows?''
30826''How mooch,''says he''is dot stoof?''
30826''Say, you got any more barrels of dot sauerkraut?''
30826''That what?''
30826''What stuff?''
30826''What''s that?''
30826Ai n''t it just an idee we got that it''s the proper thing to do?
30826And do you understand the inner aspirations of mules, maybe?"
30826And mines?
30826And useless?
30826And what''s a mining camp without mining?
30826And what''s to prevent any man, after the drawing, from marking a blank slip-- or making a new slip entirely?"
30826Any finds here?"
30826Anybody hurt?"
30826Anybody know anything nearer to home?"
30826Anybody know if anywhar they do it the other way around?"
30826Are they with you?"
30826Are we going to wait here until the next steamer comes along?"
30826Are we or are we not friends?
30826Are we or are we not partners?
30826Are you agreeable?"
30826Are you handy with a gun?"
30826Are you in?"
30826Brown?"
30826But if we do that, we got to give them a chance to eat, hain''t we?
30826But wha''do you know about_ flippin''flapjacks_?"
30826Can you tell me who he is?''
30826Can you walk back?"
30826Come down and have a drink?"
30826Could n''t she?
30826Did n''t the Greek and Roman and Hebrew and Hun and every other good old fighter''strip for the fray''when he got a chance?
30826Did you come out ahead on those_ monte_ games?"
30826Did you then take a needed rest?"
30826Do you know anything about this sort of thing?"
30826Do you or do you not consider me a low- lived, white- livered, mangy, good- for- nothing yellow pup?
30826Do you think she''ll go?"
30826Do you think you can lick me as well as your rural friends?"
30826Do you think you can lick me?"
30826Do you understand all that?"
30826Does any one here think any of them guiltless?
30826Eh?"
30826Forgotten that little point, have they?"
30826Have a smoke?"
30826Have n''t any?
30826Have n''t any?
30826Have n''t you anything in the second story?"
30826Have you a good big room?"
30826Have you been down to look at the river?
30826He handed it to me then, did n''t he?"
30826Hit at Danny Randall''s men, will they?
30826How about it?"
30826How about it?"
30826How came he to be so travelled?
30826How could he carry away these heavy ingots?"
30826How did you get it, Tal?"
30826How did you get it?
30826How do you carry your dust?
30826How does that strike you?"
30826How have you gotten on?"
30826How long did it take you?"
30826How many of you?"
30826How many times did you get stuck?"
30826How much did the''robbers''leave you?"
30826How much does that come to apiece?"
30826How much is that worth, Johnny?
30826How much money have you got, Yank?"
30826I asked blankly"How should I know?
30826I asked my guest,"boxing or wrestling?"
30826I suppose it is fully subscribed, gentlemen?"
30826I suppose you''ll be going back to the Porcupine?"
30826I suppose, though, you''re going to the mines?
30826I want to ask that gentleman there what is to prevent the wrong man from answering to a name, from drawing a slip without having any right to?"
30826I''ve practically challenged all the hard cases in camp, do n''t you see?
30826If you had lost, would you have been willing to have taken the consequences?"
30826In an anxious tone he asked:"Is there any way of getting out of this scrape?
30826In what way?"
30826Is your money all gone?"
30826Just get here to- day?
30826Make a name for it?
30826McGlynn?"
30826Naturally, I see just how you feel----""It comes to about seven hundred apiece, do n''t it?"
30826No?
30826No?
30826No?"
30826Now who''d expect to run against a layout like this on the river?"
30826Now, if we ca n''t leave our tents feeling our goods is safe, what do you expect to do about it?
30826Question is: what do we want to do with them?"
30826The question is, dare we declare it?"
30826There''s two serious questions before the house: the first and most important is, who and what is Danny Randall?"
30826This was all very well, but how did the general public know that the lots would be drawn fairly?
30826Understand?"
30826Want to go with me?"
30826Want to sell''em?"
30826We assailed them with a storm of questions-- why had they returned?
30826Well, Jim?"
30826Well, Johnny?"
30826Well, sir, you would n''t think there was any Dutchmen in the country, now would you?
30826Were n''t you trying to make me out a quitter?"
30826Were the diggings holding out?
30826Were the diggings very far away?
30826Were the gold stories really true?
30826Whar do you- all reckon to come up with them?"
30826Whar''s all this assorted lot of theories I been hearing in the say- loons ever since that nugget was turned up?"
30826What are they going to do?
30826What are you conducting here?
30826What are you laughing at?"
30826What are you talking about?"
30826What did you do with the rest of the day?"
30826What do you know against them?"
30826What does Jones or Smith or Robinson or anybody else really care for Italian Bar as a place; or, indeed, for California as a place?
30826What does it mean, anyway?"
30826What earthly chance had they?
30826What license they all got chasin''every fool cut- off reported in?
30826What more does a man want?
30826What next?
30826What were the chances for newcomers?
30826What would you do?"
30826What''s eating you?''
30826What''s it all about?"
30826What''s the matter with this country, anyway-- barring mining?"
30826What''s the use of a front sight at close range?"
30826Where are the other three?"
30826Where do you live?"
30826Where would you get any one to serve?
30826Where''s that confounded_ mozo_?
30826Where''s your bag?
30826Where''s your plunder?"
30826Who was he?"
30826Why could n''t you write a man occasionally?"
30826Why do n''t you adopt a little regular law?
30826Why was n''t I sent for before?"
30826Why''n hell did n''t Buck and Missou give him a few lifts with the toes of their boots, and not come botherin''us with them?"
30826Why, confound your pusillanimous souls, what do you mean by talking to me in that fashion?
30826Why?
30826Will you do it?"
30826You would, would you?"
30826_ Sabe?_ But we no pay twenty dollars unless you get us to Cruces_ poco pronto, sabe_?
30826_ Sabe?_ But we no pay twenty dollars unless you get us to Cruces_ poco pronto, sabe_?
30826a volcano?"
30826breathed Johnny at last,"do you suppose, if he_ must_ mine, he does n''t buy himself a suit of dungarees or a flannel shirt?"
30826cried Charley admiringly,"where did you get them?
30826cried Johnny,"will one of you drinking men kindly take a look and inform me if I''ve gone wrong?"
30826demanded Johnny indignantly;"is he sick?"
30826enunciated one laboriously;"flapjacks?
30826had there been an accident?
30826shouted Johnny finally,"where''s the towels?"
30826so intimately travelled?
30826what had happened?
30826where was Yank?
10473''Dug him out?''
10473''Enough,''huh? 10473 ''Kick you for?''"
10473''Moves?''
10473''She?'' 10473 ''The 88?''"
10473''We?'' 10473 ''We?''"
10473''You asked him, and he would n''t?''
10473A favour? 10473 A warrant?
10473A year?
10473Against the law, huh, Luke?
10473Ah- h, I do all the work and then have to whack up with you, huh? 10473 Ai n''t I seen you in Farewell, stranger?"
10473Ai n''t he a mess? 10473 Ai n''t he a mess?"
10473Ai n''t he the hellion?
10473Ai n''t he the prairie- dog, huh?
10473Ai n''t it lucky the door opens that way?
10473Ai n''t it?
10473Ai n''t that enough?
10473Ai n''t they, Sus- Swing?
10473Ai n''t three of you enough to take care of any mistakes?
10473Ai n''t you been enough of a fool already to- day?
10473Ai n''t you off the trail some?
10473Alicran, ai n''t you man enough to take care of Racey Dawson?
10473All of Nebraska''s bunch, huh?
10473Am I? 10473 And Luke will tell him?"
10473And Swing called him a liar, huh?
10473And another thing,resumed Racey,"do I look like a sport who''d let another jigger lay for him promiscuous?
10473And did n''t none of you make any try at stopping him a- tall?
10473And did n''t you go round to the back once even?
10473And did n''t you think anything about that, either?
10473And he would n''t lend it to you? 10473 And no shooting?"
10473And suppose it ai n''t all right?
10473And the stranger cold- decked him?
10473And the stranger?
10473And the system, I take it, did n''t work?
10473And the time Cutnose Canter tried to run off a whole herd of hosses on you?
10473And what did you bite me for?
10473And what did you think it was?
10473And what didja think I''d be doin''alla time?
10473And what good would wiping out either or both of them do? 10473 And what particular door did you run into?"
10473And when did you get here?
10473And when you get all well, Lanpher,put in Racey,"will I still be a liar like you say?"
10473And why had I better take him to my house?
10473And why not? 10473 And why not?"
10473And yo''re going for the coroner, huh?
10473And you bet seven thousand dollars it was on the level, did n''t you?
10473And you dunno of any other brush except the one between Dale and the stranger?
10473And you think there''s somebody in Marysville would talk?
10473And you was here alla time Dale was here?
10473And you was n''t shot? 10473 Another thing, Kansas,"drawled Racey,"did you ever stop to think how come he knowed so much about that knife?
10473Any of you boys see it?
10473Any of you boys see this?
10473Anybody give you the idea it might be?
10473Anybody hurt?
10473Anything? 10473 Are n''t there any ranches round the Bend?"
10473Are we all right?
10473Are we?
10473Are you McFluke?
10473Are you dead set on working for the Bar S or the Cross- in- a- box?
10473Are you riding for me or not?
10473As bad as that?
10473Aw, hownell can he?
10473Aw, lemme sleep, will you?
10473Aw, who''s takin''too much?
10473Bad?
10473Besides me? 10473 Besides saying the stranger was dealing from the bottom did Dale use any other fighting words?"
10473Both of''em cashed?
10473Burned herself out on you, did n''t she?
10473But a feller who''d just found a knife with blood on it in his warbags might go out back of the corral to lose the knife, might n''t he?
10473But ai n''t that exactly what the Marysville bank could''a''done if it wanted?
10473But how come you had yore boots off?
10473But if they''re all four of''em together now, and you--"I ai n''t said I was going to do anything, have I? 10473 But supposing somebody else sees her and tells about it?"
10473But what did you jump McFluke for thataway at first? 10473 But what''s Jack Harpe done?"
10473But what''s he to you? 10473 But what,"inquired Mr. Pooley, perplexedly,"has Wells Fargo to do with this business?"
10473But why did n''t you handcuff this sport to a roof stanchion inside?
10473But why for me?
10473But you''d like her to be, huh? 10473 But, my Gawd, hownell did they have time to file through that log chain or them cuffs?
10473But--"But where did you come out? 10473 Ca n''t you make out to hang onto yore prisoners no more?"
10473Can I ask a question?
10473Can I see you a minute, Racey?
10473Can I take him now, Judge?
10473Can you answer for yoreself?
10473Can you beat a shot in the dark? 10473 Can you hang on all right at a trot if I lead yore hoss?"
10473Can you play it?
10473Child? 10473 Coming right down to cases, we''d oughta be about done talking, ought n''t we?"
10473D''I wet yuh all up, Lul- luke? 10473 Dale ever drink much?"
10473Did I hear you say''we''? 10473 Did anybody else have any trouble with anybody while you was here?"
10473Did n''t hear me, did you?
10473Did n''t that hit you as kind of odd?
10473Did n''t you ever play checkers? 10473 Did n''t you see Thompson ride away?"
10473Did n''t you see that feller Dawson kick Bull when he was down? 10473 Did they call each other any fighting names?"
10473Did you ever stop to think they may come up through this brush?
10473Did you find it there?
10473Did you go to Marysville?
10473Did you hear any noise a- tall?
10473Did you see him to- day?
10473Did you stay here three- four days like I told you to that time a few weeks ago? 10473 Did you tell him it was me up there with a rifle?"
10473Didja know he was a friend of Nebraska''s?
10473Didja see anybody get hurt-- have a accident or something while you were here, Thompson?
10473Dinner?
10473Do n''t they know about the other two thousand you lost to McFluke, or what you dropped at Lacey''s?
10473Do n''t they know nothing about it a- tall?
10473Do n''t what?
10473Do n''t you know?
10473Do n''t you like me any more?
10473Do n''t you?
10473Do you gents know anybody named Doc Coffin?
10473Do you like him as much as that?
10473Do you think the sheriff will put us out?
10473Do you think you can get a easy rate from Old Salt?
10473Doc Coffin and Honey looked kind of surprised to see you with us,he remarked with enjoyment,"did n''t they, Peaches?"
10473Does Mr. Dale live here?
10473Does Racey like pret- ty flow- ers? 10473 Does he and his gang run Farewell?
10473Does this trail lead to Farewell?
10473Downed?
10473Even break?
10473Extra key?
10473Feed which on what?
10473Feller ca n''t think of everything, can he?
10473Figuring on opposition maybe?
10473For me?
10473Fraycas?
10473Friend of his?
10473Friend?
10473Gon na take root, or what?
10473Good dog,he continued, presumably addressing a canine friend without,"leave Swing''s nice new boot alone, will you?
10473Got any idea who put it in yore office?
10473Got me in jail already, have you?
10473Guess I must''a''overlooked''em, huh?
10473Has Old Salt tried to buy him out?
10473Has he ever told you he loved you?
10473Has, huh? 10473 Have I got too much to say?"
10473Have n''t Silvertip Ransom and Long Oscar got a claim some''ers over yonder on Dale''s land?
10473Have they been after you, too?
10473Have you agreed on a verdict, Judge?
10473Have you any witnesses to this insult?
10473He does, huh? 10473 He is, is he?
10473He''s behind a log, but that second sport is behind a bush same as me.... Huh? 10473 Head ache?"
10473Hear that, Swing?
10473Hell''s bells, if you''d bit Luke I would n''t have a word to say, but why pick on me?
10473Helps him stand off trouble, do n''t it?
10473Her own brother, huh? 10473 Here,"he demanded, crowding his horse alongside,"what did yuh kick me for?"
10473Hold still, will you, Luke?
10473Honest, Racey, do n''t you ever get tired of yell- bellerin''thisaway?
10473How about it, gents?
10473How about that-- that other girl? 10473 How come they allowed Dale to take up a six- forty?"
10473How could I tell they were_ both_ gon na be together? 10473 How could we?"
10473How different?
10473How long before he was killed did Dale sign it, Luke?
10473How long did the argument last?
10473How long has McFluke been runnin''a wheel?
10473How long has this been going on-- this talking, I mean?
10473How long you been rustlin''hosses?
10473How many times have I got ta repeat it?
10473How much did you lose, Luke-- two bits?
10473How much?
10473How on earth did the horse get over?
10473How on earth did you guess that the Bill Smith who robbed the Wells Fargo safe at Keeleyville and killed the agent was Jack Harpe?
10473How you feel?
10473How you gon na help me out?
10473How''d it happen, Punch?
10473How''d you s''pose? 10473 How''s the head?"
10473How-- picked open?
10473How? 10473 How?"
10473How?
10473How?
10473Howcome you went to the warehouse so late?
10473Hownell you gon na put it out? 10473 Huh-- how much, Bill?"
10473Huh? 10473 Huh?
10473Huh? 10473 Huh?
10473Huh?
10473Huh?
10473Huh?
10473Huh?
10473Huh?
10473Huh?
10473Huh?
10473Huh?... 10473 Hurt bad?"
10473I am, huh? 10473 I could n''t help it, could I?
10473I dunno what it is to you,he said,"but if my ranch do n''t come near the Bar S how can it hit the Dale place?"
10473I got a right to change my mind, ai n''t I?
10473I never knowed him and Lanpher was good friends?
10473I what?
10473I wonder what he wanted?
10473I wonder where they''re taking him? 10473 I wonder why?"
10473I would n''t''a''lived a minute, huh?
10473I-- Oh, ca n''t you see you''re not wanted here?
10473I-- lookit here,he began, desperately,"ca n''t we fix this here up some way?
10473If I''d wanted to kill him I would n''t''a''plugged him in the arm, would I? 10473 If Racey did n''t mean nothing by it, what did yore eyes flip for and why didja shuffle yore feet?"
10473In Farewell?
10473In the back room of the Sweet Dreams, huh? 10473 In the same room with him?"
10473Is Thompson going after him, do you think?
10473Is he coming, too?
10473Is he home?
10473Is he in town?
10473Is he square?
10473Is it a fair question to ask what yo''re hunting for?
10473Is it?
10473Is that a threat or a promise?
10473Is that a threat or a promise?
10473Is that all? 10473 Is that all?"
10473Is that all?
10473Is that so? 10473 Is yore paw home?"
10473Is_ that_ so? 10473 Is_ that_ so?
10473It ai n''t my fault if somebody gives it to him, is it?
10473It was n''t money then?
10473It would n''t have to be a mistake having to do with this particular case, either, would it?
10473It''s made out in yore writin'', ai n''t it?
10473Jack Harpe ever come out here?
10473Jake,said Racey,"would I be interruptin''the proceedings too much if I made a motion for us to drink all round?"
10473Just because he liked you two fellers and wanted to make it as easy as possible for you? 10473 Just bein''neighbourly, huh?"
10473Kicked?
10473Known Jack long?
10473Lemme throw him out, Mis''Dale?
10473Lingery?
10473Long- geared feller-- supposed to have capital? 10473 Lookit here, Jake,"Piney continued to the sheriff''s address,"you do n''t have to kick my wood all over the county, do you?"
10473Lookit here, Racey,he said, hurriedly,"you ai n''t going to Farewell alone, are you?"
10473Lookit here, Tweezy,said Judge Dolan, slouching to the front of the crowd,"are you gon na run them women off thataway after_ this_?"
10473Lookit here, who are you?
10473Lookit here,said Racey, suddenly,"you in hard luck, huh?
10473Lookit, Judge,he said at last,"ca n''t you sort of delay the proceedin''s for a while?"
10473Luke,he bawled, switching from verse to prose,"why didja leave me, Luke?"
10473Lul- luke,resumed Racey,"Jack Harpe''s offered us a job, too, an''we''re gon na take him up instead of the Bar S. Huh- how''s that?"
10473Ma''am,said Racey,"will you come to the door a minute?
10473Mac,he said, easily,"when that stranger ran out the door how many gents fired at him?"
10473Make me a cup o''coffee, will you, Molly?
10473Makes you think of a hay- tedder, do n''t he?
10473Marie jump Jack again, do you know?
10473Marie,resumed Judge Dolan, and cleared his throat importantly,"why did you shoot at Mr. Jack Harpe?"
10473Marie? 10473 Maybe?
10473McFluke been talking?
10473McFluke,said Chuck, halting a yard from the bar,"did you sell any redeye to Old Man Dale to- day?"
10473McFluke?
10473Meanin''?
10473Meanin''?
10473Meanin''?
10473Meanin''?
10473Meaning you''ll drill him on suspicion?
10473Meaning? 10473 Meaning?"
10473Meaning?
10473Might you happen to know any of their names, Bill?
10473Mornin'', Judge,said he,"are the papers ready for the sheriff yet?"
10473Mumblin''loud enough for you to hear, huh?
10473No fuss a- tall, Thompson?
10473No harm in asking again, is there? 10473 No, then maybe you''ve heard how and why it come to be dug and all?"
10473No?
10473Nobody else?
10473None of my business, of course,he said, casually,"but would you mind telling me how much you lost to McFluke?"
10473Nor the Bar S?
10473Now we know how they managed that part of it, where did they get the key to open the cuffs? 10473 Now what you gon na do with a feller like that?"
10473Now, huh? 10473 Oh, ai n''t they?
10473Oh, am I? 10473 Oh, did n''t he?
10473Oh, it is, huh? 10473 Oh, you are, huh?
10473Old Dale seems like a good feller, sort of shackles along a mite too shiftless maybe, but his daughter takes the curse off, do n''t she?
10473Or a li''l extra sleep would n''t do yoreself any harm neither, huh?
10473Over in the bunkhouse, huh? 10473 Picked?"
10473Plugged?
10473Question is, will he?
10473Racey Dawson?
10473Racey,said he, laying a hand on the horse''s mane,"have you been to McFluke''s lately?"
10473Racey,she said, her wonderful eyes holding him,"why are you going away?"
10473Recognize any of the voices?
10473S''pose now this is another mistake?
10473Say, I thought you did n''t dare let them see you have anythin''to do with me?
10473Say, how many times do you want me to tell you?
10473Say, whatsa matter with you?
10473Scared to?
10473Scares you, do n''t it? 10473 See anything of Tweezy lately?"
10473See him at Moccasin Spring?
10473See that pile of dirt over against the back wall of Dolan''s warehouse, Peaches?

10473Spoil everything?

10473Swing,said he, quietly,"are you busy just now?"
10473T''ell with Arizona, huh? 10473 Takes you a long time to wake up, do n''t it?"
10473Taking a bath?
10473Talk sense, will you? 10473 Tatting?"

10473That''s the way of it, huh? 10473 The Rafter H, huh?
10473The bartender now,went on Racey after a moment,"is he likely to mix into this?"
10473The knife, huh?

10473Then I can be arrested?
10473Then maybe you can tell me how Nebraska Jones is gettin''along?

10473There ai n''t any Pinkerton within five hundred miles so far as I know.... Huh? 10473 They ai n''t no hurry, is they?"
10473They''re at the table in the corner beside the bar, this end, ai n''t they?
10473Think so?

10473This him, stranger?
10473This mortgage of Old Man Dale''s now-- you figurin''on foreclosin''if he ca n''t pay?
10473Thompson,Racey said, but watching McFluke the while,"did Dale have any trouble here with anybody besides the stranger?"
10473Threatenin''my life, huh?
10473Thu- then you ca n''t lend me that money?
10473Tom, do you ever see any li''l pink lizards with blue tails an''red feet? 10473 Trimming on the petticoats?"

10473Tweezy,he drawled,"I done told you something about admiring to see you put these women off this ranch, did n''t I?"
10473Under the circumstances, then, what''s yore advice, Judge?
10473Unlocked''em, huh? 10473 Want to hear a camp- meeting song?"
10473Was it there?

10473Was that what you pulled me alla way over here to tell me?
10473Was that who they were? 10473 Was this here yore own idea,"pursued Racey,"or did somebody sic you onto me?"
10473Well, ai n''t that enough?
10473Well, what does that prove?
10473Well, what of it? 10473 Well, what''s a li''l fussin''round with Baldy Barbee and the Anvil folks?"
10473Well, you do n''t see the rest of us touching a single drop, do you? 10473 Well,"prompted Racey,"you''d oughta be able to tell us whether there was any other fights while you was here?"
10473Well-- uh-- I--"Whadda you guess I was standin''alongside of you for while you was talkin''to that other feller, huh? 10473 Were they rowin''together?"

10473You do n''t guess this girl is her, do you?
10473You do n''t think I''m going alla way to Arizona by myself, nobody to talk to nor nothing, do you? 10473 You do tell it sometimes, do n''t you, Luke?"

10473*****"What do you feed it on?"
10473*****"What have you been drinkin'', Racey?"
10473--with sudden suspicion--"who are you?"
10473A feller does all she can to show him the right trail out, and does he take it?
10473A wink that merited a kick?
10473Ai n''t I been explaining of it all in words of one syllable?
10473Ai n''t I been saying so plain as can be the last half- hour?"
10473Ai n''t I been tellin''you?
10473Ai n''t I right?"
10473Ai n''t he cunnin''?"
10473Ai n''t he cute squattin''there all same hoptoad and a- workin''away two- handed?
10473Ai n''t he the humoursome codger?"
10473Ai n''t he the lady- killer?
10473Ai n''t it sunk in yet?
10473Ai n''t that just like Kansas?"
10473Ai n''t you got any eyes?
10473Ai n''t you satisfied till yo''re ticklin''the mule''s hind leg?
10473Ai n''t you taking a awful lot for granted?"
10473Ai n''t you?"
10473All free range, but without Dale''s section and his water rights to begin with what good is it?"
10473And Nebraska?
10473And Peaches Austin?
10473And Peaches ai n''t been here yet?"
10473And Thompson?
10473And did she like him?
10473And did you ask him if he was the gent left that paper in Jake''s office?
10473And do n''t you s''pose I know them pies would be too stale for him to eat by the time he got back?
10473And even after Peaches does float in will he know me after I''ve changed my shirt, dirtied my hat, and got me a clean shave twice over?
10473And how did it happen, anyway?"
10473And how did it turn out, huh?
10473And how do you know?"
10473And if so, what happened?"
10473And if they should pass the bridge first, what then?
10473And speakin''of porkumpines, have you seen Lanpher?"
10473And was Jack Harpe most Gawd- awful hot under the collar when you did see him final?
10473And was n''t it taking longer?
10473And what did Racey mean about Jack Harpe a- bearing down on you so hard, huh?"
10473And what would Chuck say if you came this far and then did n''t go on down to his house?
10473And what''s fairer than that I''d like to know?"
10473And where might you be a- going to ride to, if I may make so bold as to ask?"
10473And where will you find a better- looking garden?"
10473And where would you''a''been if I had n''t come siftin''along, I''d like to know?
10473And you ai n''t thinkin''nothin''of yore precious skin, are yuh?
10473And you think I kicked you?"
10473And you were expecting me to come scampering down the trail over Injun Ridge, were n''t you?
10473And you_ know_ what he done to you to- day, and still you wanna paint for war now and immediate?
10473Are they?"
10473Are you shore you got Peaches fixed for three- four days?
10473Are you still shore?"
10473Besides Dale''s and Morgan''s there''s three ranches, ai n''t they, on the Lazy near Farewell?"
10473Burn you much, Racey, dear?
10473But did you ever think that a feller has got to have a good and clever pair of hands to pick a lock with only a collar- needle and bale- wire?"
10473But did you ever win when you had a sizable stake up?"
10473But how do you know she likes Racey?
10473But how is it you and Thompson seen the same thing different ways?
10473But how were you figuring on getting into the safe?"
10473But if yo''re really goin''for the coroner, Thompson, what made you tell us when you first met us you were going for the sheriff?"
10473But it''s so stony I generally go along the creek bank where I can gallop.... What?
10473But no, you had to kill him, and get everybody suspicious, did n''t you?
10473But what you gon na do?
10473But what you telling all this to me for?

10473Ca n''t you believe what Racey says?

10473Ca n''t you let well enough alone?
10473Ca n''t you see Harpe''s trying to pull us in with him is just a trick to get us shot by our friends?
10473Ca n''t you see how a killing thisaway, and a fellah like Morgan, too, would maybe put a crimp in this place for good?
10473Ca n''t you see, you droolin''fool, that now they''ll know as much as we do?"

10473Do n''t it make you sick when things get away from you like that?
10473Do n''t y''understand?
10473Do n''t you guess I''d know they was something up from the nice, kind way you said so- long to me back there at the Dales''?

10473Do n''t you know anybody who''s bigger sidewise than McFluke?"
10473Do n''t you know nothin''?"
10473Do n''t you know that every hour you stay here makes it more dangerous for you?...
10473Do n''t you know that in anything you do, no matter what, they''s no profit in unnecessary trimmings?
10473Do n''t you remember what I said about a knife in the night, or a shot in the dark?
10473Do n''t you s''pose I know he''s gone to Piegan City, and he wo n''t be back for a coupla weeks?
10473Do n''t you see anything funny about this jigger''s offer?"
10473Do n''t you suppose he enjoys seeing his old friends?
10473Do n''t you wish now you had n''t made out to be so drunk?
10473Do you know him?"
10473Do you know you look just like a turtle in his shell with yore shirt half on half off thataway?"
10473Do you think you ever got a show for yore money?"
10473Do you want a quiet burial or a regular funeral?"
10473Do you?"
10473Does he ever gamble any?"
10473Does the cook still spank him regular, Rod?"
10473Dud- do you know the child ai n''t a year old yet?"
10473Dunno what I mean, huh?
10473Enough for what?"
10473Everything''s all right, and you''ve got me, have n''t you?"
10473Fair enough, huh?"
10473For me?"
10473Guess you forgot that, huh?"
10473Hangs out in Farewell?
10473Has he been a- bearing down on you lately, Lanpher?
10473Has he still got it?"
10473He asked"How?"
10473He talks too loud sometimes, do n''t he?
10473He used to bach with Nebraska Jones, did n''t he?
10473Hold still, ca n''t you?
10473How about it, huh?"
10473How about the 88 ranch?"
10473How about the time when Blakely was the 88 manager, and they were rustling yore cattle so fast it made a quarter- hoss racing full split look slow?"
10473How big was he again?
10473How can Harpe hurt us?
10473How can I love you, Molly?"
10473How could I?
10473How could she help it?
10473How did you like it up at the Bend?"
10473How many of those sacks did you rustle?"
10473How many tunes I got ta ask you, huh?
10473How much for yore dog, feller?"
10473How much you want?"
10473How much?"
10473How would you boys like to work for me?"
10473How you gon na trail''em?"
10473How''d I know Old Man Dale was gon na slide off?
10473How''s that?"
10473Huh- how could you think it was now?
10473Huh- how could you, Lul- Luke?
10473Huh?
10473Huh?
10473I ask you, what else could I do?"
10473I could n''t set by an''let you be plugged, could I?
10473I do n''t see--""You do n''t?
10473I hear you were acting boisterious and noisy out front of the dance hall last night?"
10473I know him better''n you do... Aw, what you kicking about?
10473I put Shorty Rumbold on as guard, and Shorty--""Where''s Shorty?"
10473I said''Uncle,''did n''t I?
10473I suppose you''ll deny all that, huh?"
10473I wanna do her a favour, ca n''t you understand?"
10473I want to know who told you?"
10473I wanted him to know those things, and I could n''t slam out and tell him dry so, could I?
10473I wonder what was at the bottom of the fuss between him an''her?"
10473I''d like to know how I got here, and where my hoss is, and who belongs to this one?"
10473I''m askin''you, you fish- faced ape, whose hoss this is I got here?"
10473I''m satisfied-- What''s that?"
10473I-- What does Thompson want now?
10473I-- Whatsa matter with_ you_?"
10473I-- uh-- who was it told you I knowed this Jack Harpe?"
10473If I tell you you wo n''t tell nobody, Lul- Luke, wuh- will yuh?"
10473If his pants had a rip in''em anywheres, or they was buttons off his vest, or his shirt was tore, did it matter?
10473If it was them, why would Lanpher be in it?
10473If she had n''t loved you do you think for one minute she''d come riding all the way out here to give you a warning?"
10473If that do n''t make him my dog what does?"
10473If they forgot for the moment what dread possibilities the future held who can blame them?
10473If they was why ai n''t Jack Harpe done something before this?
10473In words of one syllable what do we care for poverty or precious stones?"
10473Is Swing Tunstall being taken care of all right?"
10473Is it against the law to tell a feller where Nebraska''s friends hang out when they''re in town?"
10473Is she home?"
10473Is she pretty?"
10473Is that the how of it?"
10473Is the Starlight''s owner, Rack Slimson, any friend of Nebraska''s, too?"
10473Is they any further business you got with me, Luke, or any more points of law you wanna be instructed on?
10473Jack Harpe looked at Racey and said smilelessly:"Wanna view the remains?"
10473Jack Harpe was the boy who opened the safe.... Huh?
10473Jake, how about trailin''him?"
10473Just a li''l ride, huh?
10473Kicked me?
10473Know''The Keel Row?''"
10473Later, when they''ve filled their hands and there''s more of''em playin''they might not be so careful, huh, Marie?"
10473Listen, Jack Harpe''s respectable, ai n''t he?
10473Listen, do you want Lanpher and Tweezy to get this ranch?"
10473Listen,"she pursued, swiftly,"do you know who that feller was you shot?"
10473Look at the time, will you?
10473Lookit here, Slimson, where might you happen to be going when you run into me so providential here at Moccasin Spring?"
10473Lookit here, did you tell him what you wanted it for?
10473Lookit here,"she added, her expression turning suddenly anxious,"did I take my ride for nothing?"
10473Lookit, Luke, you buy a lot of scrip now and then, do n''t you?"
10473Lookit, you fool, is it likely after takin''the trouble to knock you down, I''d kick you besides?
10473Lookit,"he added in a more conciliatory tone,"ca n''t you see how it is?
10473Lordy man alive, how could she?
10473Lordy, man, did you ever think natural- born feet would swell like that?"
10473Lose one of yores, did yuh?"
10473Loves me?
10473Lucky, huh?"
10473Mac, which door did the stranger run through-- the one into the back room or the one leadin''outdoors?"
10473Man, do you have to be killed before you''re convinced?"
10473McFluke had to go somewhere, did n''t he?
10473Molly, was she queer?
10473My Gawd, Dale, did n''t you know they make roulette wheels with a brake like a wagon?"
10473Nebraska, too, huh?
10473Need anybody else?
10473No, I expect Jack Harpe would be worried some if he knowed we''d recognized him.... Aw, what are you scared of?
10473Now anybody''d know I would n''t leave my saddle- blanket out behind the corral, would I?"
10473Now we''re both comfortable, Peaches, you mean to sit there and tell me you did n''t hear any shooting up at the Starlight a while back?"
10473Now who all around here, besides Kansas Casey, is wider across the shoulders than McFluke?"
10473Now you ai n''t gon na lemme make a mess on my clean carpet, are you?"
10473Of course we may starve, but what''s that between friends?
10473Oh, Molly, what did you quarrel with Racey for?"
10473Oh, what is it?"
10473On what security?"
10473One of our boys?"
10473Pap''s dead, ai n''t he?
10473Pooley?"
10473Proves I was right, do n''t it?
10473Punch?
10473Question is, who did he hit?
10473Rod, do you mind movin''back a yard?"
10473Say, Bill, has Nebraska Jones many friends in this town?"
10473Say, do n''t you know you do n''t open safes with keys?
10473Say, do you take me for a damfool?
10473Say, would I come traipsing out here just for my health-- or yores?
10473See?
10473See?"
10473She looked sensible, yet why was she so infernally polite to Luke Tweezy?
10473Shore, Mis''Dale''s hoss, huh?
10473Sit back where you belong, will you?
10473So McFluke had a wheel, had he?
10473So what do you care?"
10473So you been skirmishin''round my warbags, have you?
10473Sort of wandering off the main trail though, ai n''t we, Racey?
10473Stiff?
10473Suppose he did hit you, what of it?
10473Suppose now I go to Old Salt and get him to lend you the money on a mortgage, say a ten- year mortgage?"
10473Suppose now he gets to borrow the money some''ers before the sale?
10473Suppose now they had n''t?
10473Tell me something, do you meet in the cemetery by a dead nigger''s grave in the dark of the moon at midnight or what?
10473Tell me, was that man shooting at us all the time after I fainted until you got me under cover?"
10473That crack on the topknot did n''t blind you, did it?"
10473That it, Peaches?"
10473That''s the size of it,""How''d you happen to be at that window so providential this mornin''?"
10473The corral?"
10473The one that Marie girl tried to down?
10473Them?
10473Then there''s the Bar S. Who''s foreman of that?
10473Then with a curious flash of temper she continued,"That''s always the way with a man, ai n''t it?
10473Then you ai n''t shore about it?"
10473Then you and me--""But why me?"
10473There, I ai n''t laughing, am I?"
10473They hadda cover their own tracks, did n''t they?
10473Think I''ll pay you to drift, huh?
10473Think so, huh?"
10473Told anybody else about this?"
10473Tough luck we could n''t''a''made a clean sweep of that bunch, huh?"
10473Tryin''to listen to what you was sayin''?
10473Twenty- four hundred dollars--""What''s the dif?
10473Want me to spell it for you?
10473Want to search our stuff, huh?
10473Was it a foreman you wanted or a-- gunman?
10473Was it a trap?
10473Was n''t it a good old world, and a mighty friendly world despite the Harpes and Tweezys and Joneses that infested it?
10473Was n''t you off to one side there when Racey pulled?
10473Was n''t you?"
10473Was n''t you?"
10473Was that the clack of a hoof on stone?
10473We got title to this place fair and square, and--""Title, huh?"
10473We was talking about Arizona, was n''t we?"
10473We''ll show''em all yet, wo n''t we, Cuter old settler?"
10473Whadda you guess they pay Jake Rule an''Kansas Casey for, huh?"
10473Whadda you say, boys?"
10473Whadda you think of that hole, Peaches?"
10473Whadda you want to hang round here for?
10473What ai n''t, I''d like to know?
10473What are you laughing at?
10473What can he do?"
10473What cattle?"
10473What child?"
10473What company is it-- the Northern Pacific?"
10473What did he want here, Racey?"
10473What did she want-- money?
10473What did that li''l party cost you?
10473What didja do it for?"
10473What do you guess, Luke?"
10473What do you want, anyway?"
10473What do you want?
10473What does she think about it?
10473What else could I do?
10473What have I been thinking of?
10473What in Sam Hill had old Dale done with the money?
10473What is she-- a old maid?"
10473What kind o''doin''s is that, I''d like to know?"
10473What made you think of them two names together?"
10473What makes you think someone is trying to steal our ranch?"
10473What may I call you gents?...
10473What more do you want?"
10473What more natural than that someone should provide them with a private gambling place?
10473What more natural that on this particular day he should wish to sew it up?
10473What more of a chance didja want?"
10473What of it?"
10473What right has he to--""Why has n''t he?
10473What say to a month''s wages apiece?"
10473What she you mean?"
10473What species of deal was toward?

10473What was the girl driving at?
10473What was the matter with you, anyway?
10473What was yore bright idea of tellin''Luke Tweezy we were gon na ride for Jack Harpe so''s to watch him?"
10473What was you thinking of, anyhow, Racey?"
10473What would Molly Dale think?

10473What you laughin''at?"
10473What you lookin''at me like that for?"

10473What you yelling about, anyway?"
10473What''s that, Piggy?"
10473What''s the answer?"
10473What''s there to talk over, I''d like to know?

10473Where is it now?"
10473Where was yore eyes?"
10473Where were Racey''s questions leading him?
10473Where''d they get the key?

10473Where''d you be, I''d like to know?
10473Where''s Jack Harpe?"
10473Where''s Jake, Kansas?"
10473Where''s a pail?
10473Where, then, was Thompson going?

10473Why did n''t you say so at first?"
10473Why did n''t you say something?
10473Why do n''t you ask him?"
10473Why do n''t you make a li''l more noise?
10473Why do n''t you pull?
10473Why do n''t you say clo''es then instead of this here now lingery?"
10473Why do n''t you spend something besides the evening now and then?
10473Why do n''t you stand still and let yore barkeep pick''em out for you?
10473Why had n''t he used his head?
10473Why not?
10473Why not?
10473Why not?
10473Why not?"
10473Why should he?
10473Why should she be disappointed?
10473Why was it made too big for McFluke?"
10473Why, indeed?
10473Why?
10473Would he elect to fight?
10473Would n''t you like all the rest of the outfit, and me, too?"
10473Would n''t you look nice feedin''other folks''cows on yore grass?"
10473Y''understand?"
10473Y''understand?"
10473Yo''re gon na do all that?
10473Yo''re shore he run out the door, Mac?"
10473Yo''re shore it did n''t have nothing to do with yore saying the stranger run out the door and Thompson saying he jumped through the window?"
10473Yo''re shore it is the coroner, Thompson?"
10473Yo''re shore of that?"
10473Yo''re talkin'', ai n''t you?
10473Yore ma around?"
10473Yore ranch will lose money if you back me up, hey?
10473You a friend o''mim- mine, Lul- luke?"
10473You ai n''t figuring on living here, are you?"
10473You ai n''t gon na begin now, are you?"
10473You ai n''t soft on him, are you, account of what he done for that yellow mutt of yores?"
10473You ai n''t, are you, Racey?"
10473You been talking to her?
10473You can keep the men from throwing in with the other side, anyway, ca n''t you?"
10473You can still use the hand all right, ca n''t you?
10473You do n''t happen to know the nature of his business, do you?"
10473You do n''t have to bust my wrist, do you?
10473You do n''t think he''s gon na have somebody else come in here in yore place, do you?
10473You do n''t, do you?"
10473You goin''back to Farewell, Racey?"
10473You going to tell me what I want to know?"
10473You gon na foreclose on him, I suppose?"
10473You gon na renig on the trip?"
10473You know how?"
10473You leave me do things my own way, you hear?
10473You lemme attend to this, will you?
10473You mean Luke Tweezy?"
10473You mean it?"
10473You mean to say he kicked me?
10473You need three hundred to pay what you owe Piggy Wadsworth, do n''t you?
10473You remember how fast he was pelting along down in the wash, and how he slowed up after seeing us?
10473You run across any of Luke''s mistakes yet, Racey?"
10473You saw the whole thing, did you, Lanpher?"
10473You want money, do n''t you?
10473You would look foolish then, would n''t you?"
10473You''re serious?
10473You?"
10473_ Is_ that so?
10473or will I have to crawl yore hump again?"
30574About that woman who betrayed your trust-- perhaps I''d better not mention her to Virginia?
30574Ah, in self defense?
30574Ai n''t we drunk here together? 30574 All my stock?
30574And I suppose,she accused,"that you knew all the time that this dump here was nothing but tungsten?"
30574And Virginia?
30574And about a million apiece, I suppose, for the claims? 30574 And if I do, will you let me go?"
30574And now, what are you going to do about it?
30574And then?
30574And will you give it to her?
30574And will you make me an offer?
30574And you had trouble with Mrs. Huff? 30574 Are n''t you afraid to trust me?"
30574Are you coming back?
30574Are you going to open up the mine?
30574Are you going to stand here,she burst out sharply,"and let him blow up your mill?"
30574Are you going to take that offer,demanded Virginia, wrathfully,"and rob me and mother of our mine?"
30574Are you waiting for me to go?
30574Aw, Virginia,he pleaded,"what''s the use of always fighting?
30574Because if he is,she said,"and I can find him again-- oh, Wiley; wo n''t you help me find him?"
30574But about this quit- claim, perhaps a check would do as well?
30574But after that,he said,"did n''t you hand him over the money and say it was sent by me?"
30574But how much?
30574But if you should buy the mine?
30574But now, Wiley, about this quit- claim?
30574But was he in your employ at the time of the shooting, and did you tell him to drive off all comers? 30574 But what about you?"
30574But what is it, Wiley?
30574But what''s the mine,she demanded insistently,"compared to finding father?"
30574But where will you go?
30574But will you go for him-- sometime?
30574But_ your_ conscience is all right, eh?
30574Ca n''t you hear him?
30574Ca n''t you hear''em?
30574Charley,he began, when he came up that night,"did I understand you to say one time that you were acting as a kind of guardian to Virginia?
30574Did n''t I tell you not to say that again? 30574 Did n''t you have that officer right there?
30574Did you run and complain to the sheriff?
30574Did you want something?
30574Do I understand that you were-- that woman? 30574 Do n''t you hear''em?"
30574Do n''t you know I own this mine?
30574Do n''t you like the fiddle, Heine? 30574 Do n''t you think I can see through your game?
30574Do you know who that is?
30574Do you know why I would n''t have that mine,he inquired,"if you''d hand it to me as a gift?
30574Do you know why a snake shakes its tail? 30574 Do you mean it?"
30574Do you mean that Crazy Charley spoke the truth? 30574 Do you mean to say,"demanded the Widow incredulously,"that you do n''t want that stock?"
30574Do you set yourself up,demanded Blount with sudden bluster,"as being above the law?"
30574Do you think I''m going to help you for nothing? 30574 Do you think he will buy the stock?"
30574Do you think so?
30574Do you want some money?
30574Does he want some music?
30574Er-- what do you say they use it for?
30574Four hundred thousand?
30574Have you really discovered the lost vein?
30574He did, eh?
30574He did?
30574Hel- lo there, Old Timer,he hailed in surprise,"what are you doing, away out here?"
30574Hello, there, Death Valley,he called out jovially, as the Widow choked with a rush of words,"what''s the news from the Funeral Range?"
30574How badly are you hurt?
30574How could I give it back, if I''d had it assayed?
30574How dared you induce my daughter to violate her sacred trust? 30574 How long has he been in your employ?"
30574How much did you say it was worth?
30574How much do you want for them, Charley?
30574How much more?
30574How much would that be a ton?
30574How''s this?
30574How?
30574I beg your pardon, sir,said the Colonel, drawing himself up gravely,"but did you happen to come through Keno?"
30574I can stand it-- but how does he act?
30574I expect,he answered,"that you''ll state your grievance and tell me why you wo n''t have me?"
30574I may do that,replied Blount easily,"but in the meantime why not make me a reasonable offer, or take the mine on shares?"
30574I understood,he remarked, bringing his chair down with a bang,"that you wanted to see me on business?"
30574I will do so,replied the Colonel,"but will you do me a favor?
30574I''d like to know what this means?
30574Is it a letter to that squaw?
30574Is n''t that enough? 30574 Is that all?"
30574Is that all?
30574Is that so?
30574Is that so?
30574Is there a new earth and a new heaven? 30574 Is there anything I can do for you?"
30574Is this the time for scolding? 30574 Mr. Holman,"spoke up the Colonel, as Wiley did not stir,"may I ask you to come out here and explain?"
30574My option on the mine-- I suppose that''s what you''re after?
30574No, I do n''t want you to go away,he answered gently,"but-- isn''t there something I can do before you go?
30574No, but you offered to, and I do n''t see why----"Do you want to sell your stock?
30574No,he said,"I happened to remember a white girl----""What?"
30574No,he said,"we did not receive it?"
30574No?
30574Now you know I''m sorry,she burst out impulsively,"and will you go out and look for him at once?"
30574Now, you see?
30574Now, you see?
30574Now,he said, as Virginia sat down beside him,"what''s all this about the Paymaster and Keno?"
30574Of course you''ll give some security?
30574Of fifty thousand dollars?
30574Oh, Agnew?
30574Oh, Wiley, ca n''t you see I''m sorry? 30574 Oh, but why not now?"
30574Oh, can I?
30574Oh, he does, eh?
30574Oh, he''d bought up all the stock; and Mother, she took yours and----"What?
30574Oh, is n''t he here, after all?
30574Oh, it is, eh?
30574Oh, it''s enough, is it? 30574 Oh, now, Wiley,"he protested,"why ca n''t we be reasonable?
30574Oh, there is, eh?
30574Oh, were n''t you?
30574Oh, you did n''t, eh?
30574Oh, you do n''t care, eh?
30574Oh, you do, eh?
30574Oh, you do, eh?
30574Oh, you do, eh?
30574Oh, you know, do you?
30574Only fifty thousand dollars? 30574 Perhaps you will tell me if it was offered to you?"
30574Perhaps-- well, perhaps you could wait?
30574Say, what''s the matter?
30574Say, where are these Ube- Hebes?
30574Say, who are you, anyway?
30574Say,he said, turning to Death Valley Charley,"have you got a house here in town?
30574Say,he said,"do you want something good-- an option on ten first- class claims?
30574Say,he spoke up at last, in a pause between records,"what''s the chance of getting something to eat?"
30574Since when?
30574So you think,taunted Blount,"that she offered the money in payment, and demanded the delivery of the deed?
30574Sorry for what?
30574Still thinking about that wedding trip? 30574 That assay?
30574That''s all Paymaster ore. Do n''t you think you''d better go?
30574Then-- oh, Wiley; why ca n''t we be friends?
30574To Blount? 30574 Uh, huh,"he grunted,"was n''t I hiding behind Blount?
30574Umm,responded Wiley, squinting his eyes down shrewdly,"how much would that come to, in all?"
30574Undoubtedly,returned Wiley,"but-- do you happen to remember a little check for four hundred dollars?
30574Want a ride?
30574We followed him-- isn''t he here?
30574Well what_ did_ you come back for?
30574Well, I''d just like to know how much a unit is?
30574Well, all right,she said after a hasty perusal,"but where''s that sum of ten dollars?
30574Well, are you going to take it?
30574Well, but who sold the stock, and then bought it back-- and put all the blame on my father?
30574Well, by what right, I''d like to know, did he dare to take possession of the Paymaster?
30574Well, holler then,he said,"what do I give a dam''whether you like the deal or not?
30574Well, how about your father? 30574 Well, how are you going to prove it?"
30574Well, maybe I am,admitted Wiley craftily,"but that''s all right, is n''t it, between friends?"
30574Well, perhaps I can see Miss Huff?
30574Well, tell me the worst-- where was it he told you to dig?
30574Well, well,commented Blount, gazing mildly about, for great men do not stop to repine,"and what do you use these big scales for?"
30574Well, what are you going to do?
30574Well, what do you think about it?
30574Well, what is it?
30574Well, what now?
30574Well, what_ do_ you expect?
30574Well, what_ do_ you want?
30574Well, where''ve_ you_ been?
30574Well, who are you, sir?
30574Well, why do n''t_ you_ sell?
30574Well, you might say something,she said defiantly,"or do n''t you care what happens to me?"
30574Well; what do you want me to do?
30574Well?
30574Well?
30574Well?
30574Were n''t you afraid he''d get mad and shoot you?
30574What are you doing on my ground?
30574What are you writing?
30574What are_ you_ doing up here, now?
30574What did you say that stuff was?
30574What do you mean-- butt in?
30574What do you mean?
30574What do you mean?
30574What gave you that idea?
30574What good did it do to tell you?
30574What have you got against the property?
30574What interests did she jeopardize by making that payment for me? 30574 What is this?"
30574What matter?
30574What now?
30574What now?
30574What now?
30574What stock?
30574What the hell was he trying to do? 30574 What word?"
30574What''s all the excitement? 30574 What''s that?"
30574What''s the reason, then,he demanded,"that you''re hiding out here in the hills?
30574What''s to prevent?
30574What''s your particular grievance this trip?
30574What, a tall young fellow with leather puttees?
30574What, are the Huffs still here?
30574What, at ten cents a share? 30574 What-- a dinner now?
30574What-- millions?
30574What--_that_?
30574What? 30574 What?
30574What? 30574 What?
30574What? 30574 What?
30574What? 30574 What?
30574What?
30574Where did all these men jump up from?
30574Where''d you get these?
30574Where''d you get this?
30574Where''s Heine?
30574Which offer?
30574Who ever heard of such a thing? 30574 Who''s coming?"
30574Who''s dead?
30574Who-- Virginny?
30574Who-- me?
30574Who-- that fellow that was after me?
30574Who?
30574Whose overalls are those?
30574Why did n''t you deliver it? 30574 Why do n''t you go?"
30574Why not come through,he asked at last,"and acknowledge that he held it out on you?"
30574Why not pretend we are?
30574Why, to harden high- speed steel for guns and turning- tools-- haven''t you read all about it in the papers?
30574Why, what do you want that for, now?
30574Why, what''s the matter?
30574Why, what''s the matter?
30574Why, who are you talking about? 30574 Why-- er-- what''s that?"
30574Why-- how much was this payment?
30574Why-- where''s Wiley?
30574Why-- why was n''t it right, Virginia?
30574Wiley?
30574Will you give her back her mine?
30574Will you let him serve_ you_ like that?
30574Will you swear out a warrant?
30574Will you take the whole thing off my hands?
30574Wo n''t you even listen to me? 30574 Would you like to consider the property?"
30574Would you like to see it tested?
30574Yes, I heard about that; but you forgot something, Charley-- how about that graveyard shift? 30574 Yes, I''ve got it,"she said,"but what''s the answer when you sell out your tax claim to Blount?"
30574Yes, but Wiley,protested Blount,"what difference does it make?
30574Yes, but what do you think,demanded Wiley impatiently,"of a girl that will throw you down like that?
30574Yes, but what does he_ mean_?
30574Yes, he was,agreed Wiley, and then, after a silence:"How did it happen that you got all his stock?"
30574Yes, pretty good, Charley; I suppose you guarantee the title? 30574 Yes,"he said, still eying her doubtfully,"what''s the chance for something to eat?"
30574You can hear''em, ca n''t you, Heine?
30574You knew my husband, of course-- Colonel Huff? 30574 You will?"
30574You''ll come back, wo n''t you, Wiley? 30574 You''ll pay him back?
30574You-- what?
30574_ Who_ told you?
30574A Judas- kiss?
30574After all, what did he have to base his belief upon, except the babblings of brain- cracked Charley?
30574After old Honest John robbed Papa of the Paymaster, and then hounded him to his death on the desert?"
30574Ai n''t he around here somewhere?
30574All ten of those claims for five hundred apiece?
30574Always quarreling and backbiting and jumping each other''s claims-- but-- what do you think of the Paymaster?"
30574And Virginia Huff, you go out into the kitchen-- how many times do I have to speak to you?"
30574And Wiley, how can we ever repay you?"
30574And besides, how could Wiley know anything about it?
30574And by the way, Mr. Blount, did it ever occur to you that the Paymaster has been sold for taxes?
30574And did Mr. Blount here, by any means whatever, persuade you to violate your trust?"
30574And did n''t you steal that piece of quartz from Virginia?
30574And how are we going to give a five- thousand- dollar bond when you know we have n''t a cent?
30574And how long would it take to raise fifty thousand dollars elsewhere?
30574And if George had driven them out, then where was he now with his ancient, filed- down six- shooter?
30574And if it is worth that to him, why is it worth less to you?
30574And if you knew the truth, if you knew what he has done; I wonder, now, if you would go to such lengths?
30574And now, about this stock-- what was that, Virginia, that you were saying about my holdings?"
30574And then, when it''s done, can I go?"
30574And what was it turning back?
30574And what would be his answer if he knew the man before him was the son of Honest John Holman?
30574And what would they do in that city of strange faces and hustling, eager real- estate agents?
30574And why had he been so careful to tell her and everyone that he would not take the Paymaster as a gift?
30574And why?
30574And will you stand or fall on her testimony?"
30574And with this wind fairly driving me crazy?
30574And----""How much do you want for them?"
30574Are they hunting me for murder, or what?"
30574Are you going to back out?
30574Are you going to let them put my mother in jail?"
30574Are you in the mining business now?"
30574Are you still holding onto that stock?"
30574Are you sure that stuff is tungsten, Wiley?"
30574At half- past three?
30574Because if mother hears it she''ll drive you out of the house, and then what will Heine do?"
30574But I did n''t, altogether; I wanted to say I''m sorry and-- oh, Wiley,_ do_ you think he''s alive?"
30574But Wiley, why wo n''t you listen to me?
30574But as far as he was concerned, what difference did it make whether they considered him honest or not?
30574But by whom?
30574But he wanted the property-- the Widow knew it-- else why had he sent his son?
30574But how much is it worth?
30574But is it right to blame a man for something he ca n''t help and not even give him a chance to explain?
30574But no matter?"
30574But of course you made a clean- up on your other stock?"
30574But she''s got to accept it, has n''t she?"
30574But the Colonel-- did he know that his family had mourned him as dead, and bandied his stock back and forth?
30574But was it a miracle?
30574But was the great Leonardo deceived by the smile of his wife when she posed for him so sweetly?
30574But what I wanted to ask was: Is n''t there some way we can arrange it to get it back and sell it to your father?"
30574But what about Charley here-- does he get his money or not?"
30574But what about that option?"
30574But what are you doing up here?"
30574But what is it, Wiley?
30574But what was twelve million to what it would turn out when they located the hidden ore- body?
30574But what''s the matter, Wiley-- didn''t the mine show up as expected?"
30574But would they dare do it?
30574But you can trust the squaws-- I had one here yesterday----""You what?"
30574But you''d better drift, Mr. Holman; because if mother knows you''re here----""Well, what?"
30574But you''ll take it back now; wo n''t you, Virginia?"
30574But you''ve got lots of money-- why do n''t you hire a competent mining man and go after that lost ore- body yourself?"
30574But, ah well; I weary you, for each age lives unto itself, and who cares for the thoughts of an old man?"
30574But, even if they exaggerated their grievance-- was there anything behind it, any peg on which to hang this senseless hate?
30574But, they added-- and this was what galled him-- what else could you expect from the son of Honest John?
30574But-- well, I hate to advise you-- because-- how many shares have you got?"
30574CHAPTER VIII THE TIP"Well?"
30574CHAPTER X THE BEST HEAD IN TOWN What was Wiley Holman up to?
30574CHAPTER XX AN APPEAL TO CHARLEY What is a kiss waved by a drunken hand, to a man whose love is like the hills?
30574Ca n''t I help you, Wiley?
30574Ca n''t you hear me?
30574Ca n''t you send it by somebody else?"
30574Did he know that the Paymaster had been bonded and opened up, and lost again to Blount?
30574Did he tell you it was all a mistake?
30574Did n''t I give her back her stock?
30574Did n''t he send her as his messenger, to make a fake payment that would have deprived her and her mother of their rights?
30574Did n''t you get possession of the mine?"
30574Did n''t you tell her I was perfectly well?"
30574Did you ever know one of these''Honest John''fellows yet that was n''t a thorough- paced scoundrel?
30574Did you get caught in a sandstorm, or what?"
30574Did you or did you not employ this Stiff Neck George to act as guard on the mine?
30574Did you receive it or did you not?"
30574Do I understand that you had an option on his entire four hundred thousand shares?"
30574Do n''t you think it was some other man?"
30574Do n''t you think it''s your duty, by George, as guardian, to turn around and buy it back?
30574Do you deny the fact?
30574Do you get the idea?
30574Do you have one opinion for one set of people and another for somebody else?
30574Do you know what he''s done?
30574Do you know what the Colonel told me?
30574Do you see?
30574Do you still take an interest in mines?"
30574Do you think he''ll do it, Wiley?
30574Do you think he''s really alive?
30574Do you think more of that than you do of finding my father?"
30574Do you want your Uncle Charley to die?"
30574Eight hundred dollars?
30574Eight-- hundred?
30574Ever find any vanadium or manganese around here?
30574Had Charley made some break in his method of presentation?
30574Had he a man that he could trust to hold the mine, while he went into town to gain title to it?
30574Had he not endured abuse and suffered grievous wounds before he had asserted his rights?
30574Had he other schemes more subtle; or was he simply reckless, regarding even this adventure as a joke?
30574Had she come as an enemy or a friend?
30574Had she not wrecked his engine and ruined his mill?
30574Had they cut the wire on him?
30574Has he backed out on that, too?"
30574Has the Paymaster made a strike?"
30574Have a drink?
30574Have n''t I seen you somewhere, before?"
30574Have you gone back on your promise, or what?"
30574Have you got very much on the dump?"
30574Have you located the lost vein?
30574He claimed, of course, that he had not had her specimen assayed; but why, then, had he come back for more?
30574He did not mind losing her-- he could find a better woman-- but how could he save his lost pride?
30574He had been out before on worse nights than this-- what was it, then, that he feared?
30574He''s got old- fashioned ideas about keeping a trust and-- say, do you know what he thinks?
30574Holman?"
30574How about ten thousand dollars?"
30574How could he, proud soul, even think for a moment that Virginia herself had betrayed him?
30574How much do you want for the bunch?"
30574I ask Virginia now-- didn''t he send you to my bank----""What?"
30574I ask you, now; is n''t that fair?"
30574I came back one time and they says to me:''Charley, where''ve you been for such a long time?''
30574I certainly understood it was-- and what authority had you to interfere?"
30574I did n''t intend to do it, but he explained it all so nicely----""Did n''t I tell you he would?"
30574I must ask you then what there is between you and my daughter, and why she should follow you across Death Valley?"
30574I''m through-- do you get me?
30574If that storm had n''t come up they would certainly have found his body-- the Indian trailers said so; so why stick on a technicality?"
30574In the first place, Mr. Blount, will you please tell me the circumstances under which this deposit was made?
30574Instructions, eh?"
30574Is he hiding in the Ube- Hebes?
30574Is it true, as I hear, that you have taken my stock on a loan of eight hundred dollars?"
30574Is it very far to water?
30574Is n''t my bank perfectly safe and sound?"
30574Is n''t there something I can do to help you pay for your mine?
30574Is there any more whiskey in that bottle?"
30574Is this the First National?
30574It was only some rascal that came through here and stole my riding burro-- did they care for old Jack at the Works?
30574It wo n''t make any difference, because she''s given me a quit- claim-- but what''s the use of having any trouble?"
30574Just for the money?
30574Never mind what you think-- did you give him the money and tell him it came from me?"
30574Now what about this tax sale, and what does Blount mean by allowing you to buy it in for nothing?"
30574Now what''s to prevent my stock becoming valuable sometime when they open it up?"
30574Now, here''s the point-- what authority have you got for coming in here and working this property?"
30574Now, it says right here-- oh, where is that place?
30574Of course I''m wrong-- that''s understood from the start; but----""What dogs did I set on you?"
30574Officer?"
30574Oh, that''s all right, that''s all right; I did n''t know whether you''d heard about it-- do you recognize my title to the mine?"
30574Oh, you gave it back, eh?
30574Oh-- that is-- er-- did you ever hear how he got his head twisted?
30574Or was it, perhaps, for Virginia''s?
30574Perhaps it was an accident, for the line was old and neglected, but why should it happen now?
30574Say, now Wiley, tell me all about it-- what did Blount have to say?
30574Shall I keep my stock, or sell it?"
30574So you''re the Honest John?"
30574That is, Colonel Huff----""Have you the stock in your possession?"
30574That waste on the dump?
30574The Colonel, he told me----""What do you mean, give it back?"
30574The question was-- who to send?
30574The question was: What should she do?
30574The whole camp went dead and all the folks moved away-- but have you ever been through the mine?
30574The zeal of his lawyer was failing of late-- could he trust him to make the payment, in a town that was owned by Blount?
30574The''phone was dead and yet it had rung-- or was it only a dream?
30574Then why had he trusted her with his money?
30574There was a man, my friend, such as the world has never seen, the greatest philosopher of all time; but do you know what philosophy he taught?"
30574This is just a sample shipment----""Yes, a sample shipment; and at two dollars a pound how much will it bring you in?
30574This is the road that Father took when he left home that last time-- have you ever been over into Death Valley?
30574Three times he had trusted her and three times she had played him false-- and was that the honor of the Huffs?
30574Was it not enough to wait on the table, without cultivating the acquaintance of her boarders?
30574Was it possible the officers had followed him?
30574Was n''t that all I had?
30574Was this the first treacherous move in Blount''s battle to win back the mine?
30574We ca n''t get along, so what''s the use of trying?
30574Well, I shall thank them for it kindly; and anything I can do-- but what''s the matter, Virginia?"
30574Well, I''d like to know then what you think you''re doing?
30574Well, by the horn- spoon-- how much did your mother borrow?
30574Well, how did it assay?
30574Well, how much do you want for your claims?"
30574Well, tell me the truth now-- where is he?
30574Well, what''s the use of creating a scene when it''s likely to make him worse?"
30574What are you doing with this demijohn of whiskey?"
30574What do we get for all our pains?
30574What do you mean by treating Mother like this?"
30574What fault was it of his that her father and his father had fallen out over the mine?
30574What fault was it of his that she had a shrewish mother who was bent upon ruining her life?
30574What had they done to save it, to bring it to what it was, to merit it for their own?
30574What is it you want me to do?"
30574What is it you want?"
30574What is there to do but what I have done-- to close up my affairs and depart?
30574What kind of a mind could a woman have, to do such a senseless thing and then laugh at the man who had helped her?
30574What kind of a watchman was this, who let a woman come and go and never even saw her tracks in the dust?
30574What per cent do your samples average?"
30574What then did it signify when he bought Virginia''s despised stock for four hundred dollars, cash down?
30574What was the meaning of this?
30574What were the circumstances, Wiley?"
30574What''s going on-- getting ready to move?"
30574What''s going to happen to us if you take over that mine?
30574What''s it like, over there, Charley?
30574What''s the chance for getting a quit- claim?"
30574What''s the excitement around beautiful Keno?"
30574What''s the matter with you people-- are you crazy?"
30574What''s this I hear from Virginia?
30574What''s this you''re going to sign?"
30574What, of this stuff?
30574When he had had her mother arrested for coming into his office and demanding-- what was it she had demanded?
30574When you took it to him first, before they had talked to you, did you tell him it was my payment on the option?"
30574Where''s the best place to eat in town, now?"
30574Who holds the Paymaster, now?"
30574Who is this man, anyway?
30574Who told me?
30574Why ca n''t we get together on this?"
30574Why ca n''t you forgive me and let me try to make amends, instead of making both our lives so miserable?"
30574Why did n''t you wait until it stopped?"
30574Why did n''t_ you_ get an expert?
30574Why not let it go until they pump out the water and really find some ore?
30574Why, certainly I was alive-- why should anybody doubt it?
30574Why, has n''t your father been hounding me for months to get his hands on that stock?
30574Why, nothing, hardly; a mere bagatelle for a gentleman and a scholar like you; but what about me and poor Virginia, slaving around to cook your meals?
30574Wiley?"
30574Wiley?"
30574Will you please set that amount aside to meet the payment on this check?
30574Wiping up grease when the machinery was in motion?
30574With a suitcase, yes-- but with a mine worth millions?
30574Wo n''t you give me a kiss, just to show it''s all right?
30574Would George, then, withhold his hand?
30574Would he offer it legally and demand a legal surrender, and come out and put the deed in his hand?
30574Would they feel any more kindly towards his honest old father when he had proved that he had been faithful to the end?
30574Would you like to see the bite?
30574Yes, why not?
30574Yet if his men were gone, who then had driven them out but that crooked- necked, fighting fool?
30574Yet, if the quartz was barren, why did Wiley offer to buy her stock, and if it was rich, why did he sell his tax deed?
30574You know that stock that your mother lost to Blount?
30574You''re some desert rat, now ai n''t you, Charley?
30574cried her mother, dramatically,"are you in love with that-- thief?"
30574demanded Blount, brushing aside all the details,"how much will you pay me a share?"
30574demanded Wiley, putting Blount between him and George,"what''s this man doing up here?"
30574exclaimed Virginia, not entirely displeased,"and where will you go then?"
30574gasped Blount, quite shaken for the moment by this disastrous piece of news,"what reason have you for thinking that?"
30574he challenged,"they''re up-- what about it?"
30574he protested as she fell to weeping,"what''s the cause of all this distress?
30574he said,"so Wiley is with you?
30574he said,"you see where Jinny goes?
30574he yelled,"for cripes''sake, what''s the matter with you?
30574inquired Wiley, as Charley paused to take a drink,"and what did Virginia say, then?"
30574mocked George,"Honest John''s boy-- eh?"
30574reproached Virginia,"did n''t you know better than that?
30574retorted Wiley and then, leaping to the point,"what about that deed to the Paymaster?"
30574she burst out in a pleading, reproachful voice,"ca n''t you see that Wiley is sick?
30574she cried in a terrible voice,"have you been monkeying with my shotgun?"
30574she said,"so that''s your idea-- you''re going to whipsaw Blount out of his mine?"
23242''For a few minutes----''''Hit?''
23242A ride or something-- what?
23242A teaspoon, please?
23242Ai n''t I been ridin''this country all day with a man squealin''for a drink as loud as I was, an''had his pocket full of it all the time? 23242 All mountain girls ride, do n''t they?"
23242All right,shouted Barb,"Hawk''s here, ai n''t he?
23242And Stone?
23242And he was quicker''n any of them,interposed Belle, defiantly,"was n''t he, Mac?"
23242And the greasewood?
23242And the sagebrush?
23242And you came back across the Sinks?
23242And you''re ashamed of me?
23242Any passengers?
23242Are there any other passengers?
23242Are they all thieves and outlaws over there?
23242Are we all to go together?
23242Are you afraid?
23242Are you all ready?
23242Are you calling me?
23242Are you going to run away without giving me a chance to thank you?
23242Are you married?
23242Are you much hurt?
23242Are you willing we should search it?
23242At Pettigrew''s? 23242 Breakfast?"
23242Bring over my pony, Mr. McAlpin, will you?
23242But if you''re not a deputy marshal, what are you?
23242But the boys have sent to me for help-- what can I do? 23242 Ca n''t I do something till the doctor comes?"
23242Ca n''t we do anything to help him?
23242Ca n''t you frisk a few cowboys in less than all day?
23242Can I make it?
23242Can he ride?
23242Can it be,she asked,"that this was how it happened?"
23242Can we get across?
23242Can you ride to the Falling Wall for me right away with a word for Laramie?
23242Can you tell me when he will be in?
23242Compliments do n''t set very well on you, do they?
23242Could n''t you do something while they were trying to murder Father?
23242Could we possibly get across?
23242Deputy marshal, eh?
23242Did Barb hit either of them?
23242Did Jim Laramie accuse me in any way of anything?
23242Did anybody lose any stock?
23242Did they see you, Bradley?
23242Did we quarrel then?
23242Did you ever find a needle in a haystack?
23242Did you ever see such a night?
23242Did you get what you wanted?
23242Did you get your notes extended?
23242Did you go to Abe Hawk''s funeral?
23242Do I look it?
23242Do n''t you know that bunch will track me to your door and smash us with lead or burn us up in this shack if they get here first? 23242 Do n''t you know,"demanded Belle, indignantly,"that the men who raided the Falling Wall are the men that tried to murder Laramie?"
23242Do n''t you see how the wind is blowing? 23242 Do you know every clump of willows in this country, Jim?"
23242Do you know what this row is about, Belle?
23242Do you know,she exclaimed, shaking off for the moment all restraint,"what I''d like to do?"
23242Do you mean to say if I asked you not to serve papers you would n''t do it?
23242Do you mean to say you stand up for thieves, too?
23242Do you mean to say you''ve missed it anyway?
23242Do you remember now?
23242Do you suppose I could ever live long enough to turn that man, wounded, over to an enemy? 23242 Do you suppose,"Kate demanded with an air,"they would turn two horses over to_ you_ up at Doubleday''s?"
23242Do you want a drink?
23242Does Belle know you quarreled with your father?
23242Doubleday has sold the eating house and disposed of his property at the Junction----"You mean his creditors took it, do n''t you?
23242Explain?
23242Farrel offered it to y'', did n''t he?''
23242Father pretty well?
23242For our next ride?
23242For the love of God,he exclaimed,"what''s broke loose?"
23242From the marshal''s office?
23242Got any shells for it?
23242Got it up again?
23242Had it when you started, did n''t you?
23242Has he been here this morning?
23242Has he been here?
23242Have you got a warrant for Abe Hawk?
23242He did n''t come in town with you today?
23242He did n''t drown that morning, did he?
23242He really did get out of the creek?
23242He''s looking for help, that''s more''n likely, ai n''t it? 23242 He''s sittin''in that room across the hall right now----""What''s he doin''?"
23242Home? 23242 How about Barb Doubleday-- is he up at the mines, or here?"
23242How about the day before?
23242How are they to find out what is true?
23242How can you tell then whether you could hit anything if you did shoot at it?
23242How can_ I_ answer how they found out? 23242 How could I practise to learn to shoot the way you do?"
23242How could I tell-- after all I used to hear-- but that you''d begin by eating out of my hand and finish by eating me?
23242How could he get across the creek with the bridges out?
23242How deep is it?
23242How did you find me here?
23242How do you feel now?
23242How do you get practise?
23242How do you know that?
23242How do you know?
23242How do you like old Pettigrew?
23242How does he do it, Doc?
23242How does it feel to be chasing men all the time?
23242How far is it to the ranch?
23242How long ago, Jim?
23242How long ago?
23242How long is this joke, Laramie?
23242How long you goin''to stand it, Jim?
23242How many of you are there want to see Jim a minute, Harry?
23242How on earth does she blame you for that?
23242How so?
23242How you fixed for flour?
23242How you going to like it out here?
23242How''d you get here?
23242How''d you get switched off?
23242How''s he going to do it,inquired Carpy,"without starting the fight all over again?"
23242How''s he holding out?
23242How''s she going to get to Doubleday''s tonight, McAlpin?
23242I did n''t actually refuse, did I?
23242I did n''t want to come here----Laramie sprang to his feet:"Where the hell else would you go?"
23242I do n''t understand-- what did I do?
23242I know you pretty well, do n''t I? 23242 I wonder,"he said,"if I could ask you a question?"
23242I''m asking you, Tom, did you''n''me quarrel then?
23242If I worried over what a lot of people think about me, where should I be? 23242 If he did n''t want Jim Laramie to come down here what did he ask_ you_ to call him up for?
23242If that''s the case,he blurted out,"what''s the use o''my sticking around here fighting your battles?"
23242If you ca n''t make us hear,he continued,"shoot-- have you got a pistol?"
23242If you were n''t afraid of me when you did n''t know my name, why be afraid now?
23242Is Abe there?
23242Is Tom Stone still foreman over at Doubleday''s?
23242Is he still in the country?
23242Is it fair because you are enemies to accuse my father in such a way?
23242Is it true that he is dead?
23242Is my father dead?
23242Is n''t he there?
23242Is n''t my word good as to who''s in my shack?
23242Is that mine?
23242Is that so?
23242Is that the only reason?
23242Is there a man named Jim there?
23242Is there any way of getting to the bottom of it?
23242Is there one there that likes to have his own way?
23242It must have been long ago----"Is that the reason you never acted natural with me?
23242It was n''t you invited him, eh?
23242Jim Laramie? 23242 Kate,"he said, speaking without looking at her,"will you ride back about a mile and wait for me?"
23242Kate,she said, unpinning her hat as she spoke,"how long you going to stay here?"
23242Kate?
23242Kelly, gi''me jus''a squirt o''coffee, will y''?
23242Long ways, the way you go, ai n''t it, Bill?
23242Me?
23242Meaner''n''hell over there, ai n''t they?
23242Meaning me?
23242Men do n''t eat sweetbreads, do n''t you know that? 23242 Nervous?"
23242No, I don''t-- who is he?
23242Not enough for two, is there?
23242Not going to run away, are you?
23242Not in your shack?
23242Now may I say something?
23242Now, Kate, what are you going to do?
23242Now,she returned, as if to close-- and standing her ground as she spoke,"have you said all the mean things you can think of?"
23242Oh, could we see it?
23242Over at my place-- what''s that?
23242Railroad man, eh?
23242Raining?
23242Rode to the graveyard with him, did n''t you?
23242Say, Belle, was Jim Laramie in town yesterday?
23242See? 23242 Shall we let the dog go this time?"
23242So that''s where the shoe pinches?
23242So you wo n''t name''em?
23242Some skirt, eh?
23242Still he might be there,urged Lefever,"in the way I say-- he might''ve walked in since you went into the hills-- what?
23242Suppose I surrender to you? 23242 Suppose when they''re shot away these fellows get a fight going on me?"
23242Surely,she gasped,"you do n''t mean my own father?"
23242Take your quarrel somewhere else tonight-- this is my celebration-- do you get me, Tom?
23242That what you want?
23242The door was open when we got here-- wasn''t it, Harry?
23242Then what are you holding us up here for?
23242Then why are you so different?
23242Then why do n''t you do what I ask you to do instead of giving me a story about Barb Doubleday telephoning?
23242There is a person there who loves to persecute me, is n''t there?
23242They ai n''t burned your shack?
23242They running things?
23242Though if I should want to kill you now it would be easy, would n''t it?
23242Tired taking care of me?
23242Trees? 23242 Trees?"
23242Two women-- c''n y''beat it? 23242 Two?"
23242Was Punk sober?
23242Was Stormy''s talk true?
23242Was he here yesterday?
23242Was it Stone cut your wire, Jim?
23242Was it all right,she asked, now almost panic- stricken,"to come to see you?"
23242We ca n''t get across, can we?
23242We were riding pretty fast, were n''t we?
23242Well, how about sidearms,he shouted,"and how many of you are there?"
23242Well, if you walked so far with him, is he coming here for supper?
23242Well, is there any difference between being a rustler, and protecting and being the friend of one?
23242Well,he demanded, banteringly,"where''s Jimmie been?"
23242Well-- who was here?
23242Well?
23242Well?
23242Were you ever sheriff, Bill?
23242Were you there?
23242Were you told I did?
23242Wha''d''y''mean?
23242What about a woman?
23242What about swimming?
23242What about?
23242What about?
23242What am I going to do about it?
23242What am I going to do till four o''clock?
23242What answer did Jim give?
23242What are people to believe when such stories are public property?
23242What are they doing up there, Jim?
23242What are we going to do?
23242What are you doing here?
23242What are you doing here?
23242What are you doing in there in the dark?
23242What are you doing?
23242What are you down for?
23242What are you givin''us?
23242What are you going to do about it, Jim?
23242What are you going to do about it?
23242What are you going to have?
23242What are you staying in town so long for?
23242What are you talking about?
23242What can a girl be wanting at Doubleday''s?
23242What did I do?
23242What did Laramie say?
23242What did he want with that?
23242What did the cattlemen blacklist him for? 23242 What did they do after that?"
23242What do I care about them all, Kate,he would say,"now that I''ve got you?
23242What do I know about a woman?
23242What do you keep such a beastly critter around for?
23242What do you mean,''home''?
23242What do you mean-- whose funeral?
23242What do you mean?
23242What do you mean?
23242What do you mean?
23242What do you mean?
23242What do you mean?
23242What do you think?
23242What do you want me to do?
23242What do you want to go East for?
23242What does Doubleday aim to do with Stone?
23242What does that mean?
23242What does the sun say?
23242What dugout?
23242What else did you expect?
23242What else?
23242What for, doctor?
23242What for?
23242What for?
23242What for?
23242What have you got?
23242What have you heard?
23242What is it?
23242What is it?
23242What is the message?
23242What is your own?
23242What job''s left ahead of you?
23242What kind of a trip had you, father?
23242What makes you talk that way?
23242What man was it, you were talking to?
23242What proof have you?
23242What shall I call it?
23242What should you do,she asked, turning her back while she straightened her hat in the buffet mirror,"if you ever met one that fooled you?"
23242What then?
23242What then?
23242What then?
23242What time did you get here?
23242What time should I get there?
23242What time''ll she get there, Bill?
23242What was that story about you being up at the Junction the day I wanted you to serve those papers on old Barb Doubleday?
23242What was there to it?
23242What way?
23242What will Jim do? 23242 What will the family be doing while I''m burgling?"
23242What would I be doing anywhere?
23242What''ll she pay?
23242What''s de Spain doing, John?
23242What''s happened?
23242What''s that fat buck doing up in this country?
23242What''s that got to do with it?
23242What''s the matter, could n''t you hold it?
23242What''s the news up your way?
23242What''s the other noise?
23242What''s the use raking up old sores? 23242 What''s the use squabbling over that now?"
23242What''s the use?
23242What''s the use?
23242What''s there to this talk of Barney''s about Abe Hawk?
23242What''s this f''r?
23242What''s this talk''bout Farrell Kennedy makin''a depity marshal, Jim?
23242What''s this?
23242What''s up?
23242What?
23242What?
23242When are you going to do something for a lonesome old scout?
23242When did you see him last?
23242When or where did I ever say that?
23242When will she be back?
23242When you ask to go riding with me and I get the horses-- I come first, do n''t I?
23242Where am I?
23242Where are you from?
23242Where are you going to get them?
23242Where did he come from?
23242Where did you get it?
23242Where do you belong?
23242Where do you work?
23242Where is Belle?
23242Where is he?
23242Where y''headin''f''r now?
23242Where you bound for today?
23242Where you going?
23242Where''d you get that?
23242Where''s Kate?
23242Where''s Laramie?
23242Where''s the horses?
23242Where?
23242Which way?
23242While these tin horns are counting their money, would you like to show me the ponies?
23242Who accuses me of telling them?
23242Who are you?
23242Who by?
23242Who is in the living- room?
23242Who is it?
23242Who knows?
23242Who said so?
23242Who says I conspired to murder anyone-- did Mr. Laramie say so?
23242Who says I''m going to die?
23242Who told you that?
23242Who wants Hawk?
23242Who was it, Barney?
23242Who''s coming?
23242Who''s here with you?
23242Who''s here with you?
23242Who''s sick?
23242Who''s the man?
23242Who_ is_''Jim''?
23242Whose cattle?
23242Why ca n''t I?
23242Why could n''t I ride with you?
23242Why did Kate Doubleday shun me like a man with the smallpox? 23242 Why did n''t you answer?"
23242Why did n''t you eat your supper?
23242Why did n''t you say something when I first came in?
23242Why did n''t you tell me?
23242Why did n''t you?
23242Why did you tell me?
23242Why do n''t you ask me who invited me? 23242 Why do n''t you come home?"
23242Why do n''t you have''em arrested?
23242Why do n''t you kill him, Jim?
23242Why do n''t you say something, Henry?
23242Why do n''t you?
23242Why knock the Falling Wall?
23242Why not?
23242Why not?
23242Why not?
23242Why not?
23242Why not?
23242Why not?
23242Why not?
23242Why not?
23242Why shoot at all?
23242Why should I?
23242Why should n''t I?
23242Why smash the prairie dog?
23242Why, what could_ I_ do?
23242Will he make it?
23242Will they ever find Hawk?
23242Will you give me a chance?
23242Will your name,he went on,"surprise me as much as my name surprised you?"
23242With_ me_?
23242Without dismounting?''
23242Would n''t it be a lot safer?
23242Would you honestly expect a young woman to go to work and investigate all the charges against men she hears in Sleepy Cat?
23242Y''wo n''t do what''s right, will y'', Laramie?
23242You and me used to bunk together, did n''t we?
23242You do n''t think it possible he likes you?
23242You going home?
23242You got my letter, did you?
23242You heard me, did n''t you?
23242You know the draw that runs down past his corral? 23242 You know what''s been going on here today?"
23242You like Medicine Bend, do n''t you?
23242You must want me to do something,he persisted,"get off the earth or stay on it-- now, do n''t you?
23242You never liked me, did you, Kate?
23242You ought to do well at that, eh?
23242You probably have n''t heard about Abe Hawk?
23242You say he wants this tonight,he added, when her packet was complete:"How are you going to get it to him?"
23242You thought he could get out-- what happened?
23242You used to be sheriff?
23242You won, did n''t you?
23242You''ll be ashamed of yourself when you cool off,Kate returned, pointing to the broiler:"You do n''t expect me to eat all that meat, do you?"
23242You''ll throw a man down no matter how much of your whisky he drinks, wo n''t you, Tenison?
23242You''re getting a smile now that he is n''t getting, are n''t you?
23242You''re not afraid of me now-- are you-- with one arm out of commission? 23242 You''re not trying to spare me, are you?"
23242You''ve got Gorman with a brass band and left Dutch Henry in the cabin waiting for us, have n''t you? 23242 Your father?
23242''Did they pot y'', Jim?''
23242''Doctor, will you ride with me?''
23242''Is that Abe Hawk''s funeral?''
23242''Where you goin''?''
23242''Who''d you hear it from?''
23242''Will you ride to this one with me?
23242A great melancholy overcame him:"What do you want me to do?"
23242A present, ai n''t they?
23242A single word came in a low tone from the darkness:"Jim?"
23242After a further effort the drowsy man roused himself to the attention that seemed demanded in the case:"Going somewhere?"
23242All hell could n''t keep you back, could it?
23242Am I to blame for every drink Tom Stone takes?
23242And she asked herself one question that did not occur to him:"Why was she not frightened to death?"
23242And she was not prepared for the question that Kate, stung by the accusation, flung at her:"What do you mean?"
23242And what could she fear but the worst?
23242And you did n''t get him, did you?"
23242And you''re a stranger here?
23242Are you a gambler?"
23242Are you going to turn yellow on me because I''m a thief?"
23242Are you?"
23242As he did so, a sharp question of fear and confusion was flung at him:"Where am I?
23242Barb broke abruptly in on the conversation:"What did Stone find out?"
23242Barb never smoked a good one in his life-- you know that, Henry?
23242Barb''s harsh, red features never looked less uncompromising:"D''you expect me to believe that stuff?"
23242Belle could not tell exactly of whom, of what-- she was just suspicious:"Why should that big fat man come courting me?"
23242Belle had begun to like Kate''s laugh:"Not going to get lonesome out in this country?"
23242Belle seemed dismayed:"How about the alkali?"
23242Belle stared at him:"Where would I sleep if I did?"
23242Belle stood before her, a statue of implacability and Kate, in growing astonishment, rose to her feet:"What is it?
23242Belle took it up with Kate:"With him and John Lefever both nagging at me what can I do?"
23242Belle, incredulous, when first told by Kate of a visitor in the night, had no scruples in asking questions:"Who was here last night, Bill?"
23242Ben looked at him, still smiling with a kindly hope:"Hear from the contest on the creek quarter?"
23242Bet you ten dollars you da''ssent do it-- who the devil--"Sawdy almost choked as the two heard a knock at the door--"who the devil is that?"
23242Bradley drew his stubby chin and shabby beard in and threw his voice down into his throat:"D''y''mean that?
23242Bradley gave him scant sympathy:"What did Doubleday discharge him for?"
23242But I''m thinking, if I ca n''t figure out the game, some of my neighbors can help me catch on-- what?"
23242But she hastened forward:"Father?"
23242But she was bound he should not escape:"How far are they?"
23242But she would look up, sudden with apprehension:"But do n''t you think_ I_ care?
23242But since you spoke about it, Jim was in awhile ago----''"''Was in, eh?''
23242But what about you?
23242But what would Kate think?
23242But what would people say of me when they heard of it?
23242But why blame her?
23242But why spoil an hour''s happiness with the thought of them now?
23242By the time Kate had finished, his innocent question was ready:"Where is he?"

23242Ca n''t you see that a woman ca n''t always be as open in what she says as a man?"
23242Can you whistle?"
23242Come, Mr. Van Horn,"she suggested, turning sweetly to him,"do n''t you want to see the ponies?"
23242Completely unnerved, he carefully drew away his revolver, averted the muzzle and spoke angrily through the dark:"Who''s here with you?"
23242Could Laramie make it with Abe, starting by midnight?
23242Could it be a plot?
23242Could it be possible that even they would allow her with them on such an errand and on such a night?
23242Could n''t you ask him?"
23242Could n''t you knock him in the head?
23242Could you see?"
23242Curiosity would not down:"What y''goin''t''town f''r?"
23242D''ye hear?"
23242Danger?
23242Did you get him?"
23242Do n''t he fight Laramie five years''n''get licked?
23242Do you know how long it takes to fill your blamed tub?"
23242Do you mind if I smoke?"
23242Do you want to start up the whole country?"
23242Doubleday flared up:"Am I the only man that Laramie''s got differences with?
23242Doubleday had a way of raising his chin to override objection; and his voice grew huskier with stubbornness:"Just let me run this thing, will you?"
23242Father, could I do any less?"
23242Fever?
23242Find out who tore down your wire?"
23242For a moment he did not speak, only looked at her fixedly:"What I''ve heard''s so, then?"
23242For just an instant the curtain lifted; a flash of anger shot from his eyes; it was drawn again at once:"Is my reputation over here as bad as that?"
23242Furious waves of resentment alternated with the realization that such an issue was inevitable-- how could it be otherwise?
23242Get any track of''em?"
23242Give me the blue ink, will you?"
23242Got lost, eh?"
23242Had n''t you and I better be friends to begin with, anyway?"
23242Had she discovered the retreat and led to it his enemies?
23242Halted, but not pleased, she waited for him to go on:"You''ll come back, wo n''t you?"
23242Has Harry Van Horn been shining up to you?"
23242Has Laramie been to you to get fixed up, at all?''
23242Have I got to cook my own supper?"
23242Have n''t I always been square with you?"
23242Hawk eyed him steadily:"What are you doing here tonight?"
23242Hawk listened thoughtfully:"Why did n''t you pick a wet night?"
23242He carried his right arm at his side with the thumb hooked into his belt:"Where''s your sling?"
23242He certainly paid no attention to her words:"Will you come back?"
23242He could not conceal his anger:"Does your father know that?"
23242He did not move and it was an instant before he replied:"What do you mean,"he asked,"by gambler?"
23242He laughed:"Afraid of him, eh?"
23242He listened still for sounds of an enemy, of those who must be with her-- where could they be?
23242He looked Lefever over critically:"What''you doing?"
23242He looked at her inquiringly;"What do you know about the way I shoot?"
23242He looked at horse''n''man''n''says:''Where the hell you bin?''
23242He looked dead ahead:"What did it sound like?"
23242He looked up at her now as if waiting for an answer:"Why do you ask?"
23242He sat down near Kate and with a look of raillery scrutinized the remnant of meat left on the general platter:"How is it, Barb?"
23242He showed but little of his amazement when he sat up and spoke quietly:"What''s up, Abe?"
23242He spoke low and fast:"Is Laramie there?"
23242He started:"Could n''t get two horses, could you?"
23242He stopped as he came up:"You remember that man I introduced you to-- Laramie?"
23242He turned on his stool:"How soon''ll you be back?"
23242He was decently restrained now, but he swallowed her bait, hook and all:"Where do you think you can find horses?"
23242He was not disturbed:"Is that a challenge?"
23242He was so slow that Tenison was forced inwardly to smile at his own exasperation:"Never get nervous, do you, Ben?"
23242He''s a mile from Jim Laramie''s cabin, not more; he''s three miles from anybody else''s-- what?"
23242He''s hit, ai n''t he?"
23242Her father flung his cigar into the fire:"What''s that got to do with it?"
23242Her heart leaped into her throat:"Was my father with them?"
23242His rage was plain enough; who could tell the lengths to which it might carry him?
23242His salutation met with as little:"What''s up?"
23242Hold on, ca n''t you?"
23242How about it when you ca n''t raise even a normal temperature?
23242How about it?"
23242How am I to find things out without asking questions of my friends?
23242How could she face him?
23242How could you tell, when you stopped me so, Jim, there was a man under the bridge?"
23242How did they know there was such a place if you did n''t tell''em?"
23242How do you like antelope?"
23242How will he stack up if that bunch goes to his ranch on the Turkey?
23242How''d the land contest they made on y''at Medicine Bend come off?"
23242How, he asked himself, could a girl like Kate, pick such a bear for a father?
23242Humiliated at the recital, Kate thought it time to say something herself:"Why do you ask me a question like that?"''
23242Hunt him up, will you, John?"
23242I had a fine reputation to live down; and all of it from her own father and his friends-- what could you expect a girl to do?
23242I know when a thing needs sugar, do n''t I?
23242I suppose"--he hardly hesitated in his words--"you know who is talking to you?"
23242I will not say another word until I see Mr. Laramie-- where is he?"
23242I wonder if I could hit it?"
23242I would like to keep at least my reputation out of this bitter war that is going on-- can''t you, wo n''t you, understand?"
23242In her confusion what she had meant to say fled:"Are you very much hurt?"
23242Instead, the flashlight was turned directly on him:"Who are you?"
23242Instinct must have made her conscious for as soon as Van Horn looked at Laramie she felt the tension:"Well, Jim, where''d you blow from?"
23242Is it Laramie?"
23242It was an odd question:"Last night-- why?"
23242It was she who gave in first:"You from Medicine Bend?"
23242Its emphasis lay in her quiet tone:"Will you stand to that?"
23242Jim,"he exclaimed,"I''m no family man-- are you?"
23242John Lefever, for it was he whom she addressed, knew the men but he had seen no one; could he do anything?
23242John laid his cigarette on the rim of his plate and appealed to Kate:"Did you ever in your life see a more unreasonable woman than Belle?
23242John nodded soothing assent to her explanation:"How''s Van Horn?"
23242Kate answered unconcernedly:"I was n''t hungry-- it is n''t late, is it?"
23242Kate could hear Bradley''s voice in shrill protest:"What''d I be goin''to town f''r, if I had a bottle?"
23242Kate could only look up into his eyes:"Suppose you get killed, Jim?"
23242Kate courageously pointed:"Are those the Rocky Mountains, please?"
23242Kate felt compelled to take notice:"Where you bound for, Belle?"
23242Kate for an instant waited:"Should you wish me,"she asked,"to look for anything else at your hands?"
23242Kate had to question him:"What was the matter with Abe?
23242Kate inwardly blamed her for all her trouble, and she was on edge, besides:"Where you going?"
23242Kate looked perplexed:"What shall I say to him?"
23242Kate recovered her breath:"What''s it all about?"
23242Kate regarded his expectancy unmoved:"How should I know?"
23242Kate started for the front door:"Hold on a minute,"he objected,"what''s to do here while you''re gone?"
23242Kate was keyed up with apprehension:"Why take chances all the time?"
23242Kate would not back down:"Why do they call him king of the rustlers?"
23242Kate''s breast rose sharply and she spoke low and fast:"How dare you accuse my father of such a thing?"
23242Kate, realizing this, framed with reluctance the question he was waiting for:"Who brought Abe in?"
23242Kate, what else?"
23242Laramie answered with a question:"How about trying the gauntlet?"
23242Laramie broke in without losing the precious moment:"Who set my house on fire, Tex?"
23242Laramie eyed the old cattleman unmoved:"And you''re here to get me to help you slip the noose, are you?"
23242Laramie half- smiled at her serenity:"Why do n''t you go?"
23242Laramie having told Van Horn to mount, turned to the Texas men:"Which one of you boys wants to carry the rifles over to that big cottonwood for me?"
23242Laramie pushed back his chair:"What would you do?"
23242Laramie regarded him with sobering amazement:"Who told you I would n''t turn in with Barb Doubleday?"
23242Laramie responded in kindly fashion:"Anybody been here?"
23242Laramie walked away and Doubleday took Van Horn in hand:"You messed up things once with Laramie, did n''t you?
23242Laramie''s features relaxed into as near a smile as he permitted himself on duty:"How you coming, Abe?"
23242Laramie?"
23242Lefever caught his breath in time to fire one more question:"What about Abe?"
23242Lefever''s eyes expanded with cheer, but his voice choked with emotion:"Doing?
23242Lingering with a companion to look at Gorman in his blood, Stone turned for approval:"See where I hit him?"
23242McAlpin gasped and swallowed:"What d''y''mean, Harry?"
23242McAlpin in violent protest, scratched the gravel with his hobnailed shoes:"I''ll ask you: Am I responsible for the pressure, or the water company?"
23242McAlpin looked surprised:"You would n''t be ridin''home tonight?"
23242McAlpin regarded him inquiringly:"What you going to do about it, Jim?"
23242No objection to my looking in there, is there, Jim?"
23242No potatoes?
23242No wonder the man''s up and coming-- what did you send for me for, McAlpin?
23242No, now that you''ve given yourself to me-- that''s what I''ll say-- what do I care what they do?"
23242Not much doing at the mines, is there?"
23242Now he turns him into his son- in- law and gets the Falling Wall range anyway-- can y''beat it?
23242Now you answer mine, will you?"
23242Now, if it''s a fair question, is Abe here?"
23242Of what?
23242Of whom?
23242Shall I hunt up Van Horn to go with us?"
23242She almost cried out a protest:"How can you say such a thing?"
23242She answered with a question:"Where else have I to stay, father?
23242She attempted to laugh:"Do they ever chase deputy marshals?"
23242She faced her father without flinching:"What do you mean?"
23242She hardly attempted to hide her consternation:"Are you Jim Laramie?"
23242She lifted her eyebrows disclaimingly-- even shrugged her shoulders:"What are you going to do?"
23242She looked at him as she held the package out:"How can we carry them?"
23242She looked sidewise at him as they trotted up the street:"You do n''t mind rather rough riding?"
23242She met the new disposition with a tone of prudent reserve:"What is it?"
23242She only eyed him as he eyed her:"D''you expect anybody to believe it?"
23242She remembered afterward that this was her first impression: at that moment she was not analyzing it:"Where are you going?"
23242She spoke almost in a whisper:"Is it Van Horn, Jim?"
23242She turned to him:"What are you going to do, Jim?"
23242Should you mind handing me one with ink in it?"
23242Something clutched at her breath:"Are those the Rocky Mountains?"
23242Stone barbed a taunt for his victim:"Goin''to drink, air you?"
23242Stone flared back at him:"What are you over here eating their bacon for?"
23242Stone stared:"When,"he demanded,"did you get married?"
23242Stunned as she might well have been at the outburst, Kate stood her ground:"Did Doctor Carpy give you permission to come here tonight?"
23242Suppose they close with him and get killed?"
23242Tenison eyed his messenger steadily:"What do you mean?"
23242Tenison spoke grimly:"Will you drink it if I fill it, you mule?"
23242That was enough, was n''t it?"
23242That''s a crime, ai n''t it?
23242That''s enough, is n''t it?
23242The Doctor leaned forward and spoke to Laramie:"How''s longhorn, Jim?"
23242The Texan eyed his foreman:"Why not?"
23242The butcher was taken aback:"How in thunder should I know?"
23242The doctor, McAlpin behind him dumbly staring, confronted Laramie at the door:"What are you doin''here, Jim?"
23242The drunken foreman''s brow contracted in irresolute perplexity:"What do you say?"
23242The feeling between the two men she left together flared up at once:"Does this mean you''re going to hitch up with the cattlemen, after all?"
23242The first speaker hitched his thumb guardedly over his shoulder:"Know who that is out there?"
23242The man slouched up to the counter:"Would n''t that kill you?"
23242Then a chance offered itself and he put a question:"Where did you learn to ride?"
23242Then he flung a question at her like a thunderbolt:"What do you want here?"
23242Then he looked up cheerfully as if a new idea had struck him:"What''s the matter with a little soft- boiled ice cream?"
23242Then he turned his amiable face on Kate:"How are you all at the home?"
23242There was some exchange of talk before the question was answered:"Look here, Lefever,"roared Doubleday huskily;"what the hell''s all this fuss about?"
23242They''re the men that run this country-- what do you say?"
23242To add to her confusion, words came from ahead just loud enough for her to hear:"Pull the blamed brute to one side, will you?"
23242Van Horn rose:"That''s the answer, is it?"
23242Van Horn stared:"How do you make that out?"
23242Van Horn with a laugh turned to Kate:"Excited over it, is n''t he?
23242Was Tom Stone home when you left?"
23242Was she to get it back?
23242We keep it bolted from the inside, so no trouble ca n''t come, see?"
23242Well, how are you?
23242What are you doing here?"
23242What are you going up to Doubleday''s for?"
23242What are you stalling around for?"
23242What are you talking about?"
23242What could it mean?
23242What do I mean?
23242What do you know about that?
23242What do you mean?
23242What do you mean?
23242What do you mean?"
23242What do you mean?"
23242What do you say, Barb?"
23242What do you think about it?"
23242What do you think, Belle?"
23242What do you want me to do-- stick up my hands?
23242What do you want to do, surrender to me?"
23242What for?
23242What has happened?"
23242What manner of man had she to deal with?
23242What might happen now?
23242What should she do?
23242What you doing up in the Falling Wall?"
23242What''s all this questioning about?"
23242What''s the matter with you?"
23242What''s the matter?
23242What?
23242What?"
23242What?"
23242When Belle wanted to be rid of him he refused"no"for an answer:"You would n''t send me away without a cup of coffee, would you?
23242When did he die?"
23242When his fence is tore down, am I to blame?
23242When we stopped there, she says:''Doctor, tell me the truth: Did Abe Hawk drown?''
23242Where am I?
23242Where did Dutch Henry learn to steal?
23242Where was he?"
23242Where would he go-- what?"
23242Where you from?"
23242Where you heading, Jim?"
23242Where''s Laramie?"
23242Where''s this goin''to end?"
23242Which are you?"
23242Who are you?"
23242Who are you?"
23242Who could it be?
23242Who told you he''s here?"
23242Why ca n''t you be the way you were the first time?"
23242Why did they make you their scapegoat, Tom?
23242Why do n''t you carry two revolvers?"
23242Why is it?
23242Why not?"
23242Why pay rent in two places?
23242Why should honest men get together in the dead of night to exult and curse and drink?
23242Why,"he roared,"did n''t you obey orders, let this tank get down to the bottom and knock him on the head into the creek?"
23242Will Jim sleep at your place tonight?"
23242Will you be friends with me?"
23242Will you do that, Tex?"
23242Without giving her a chance to speak and in the same monotone, he added:"Who told you I was a gambler?"
23242You call him up on the telephone, will you?"
23242You do n''t mind if I smoke?"
23242You do n''t object to my only looking at you for a minute?"
23242You do n''t want to go into the same hole with me, do you?
23242You here alone?"
23242You know that rough country east of Pettigrew''s?
23242You know what I''ve stood from these cattlemen in the last year----""Why,"demanded Carpy,"did you do it?"
23242You know when it needs salt, do n''t you?
23242You say you''re going to ride home?"
23242You''n''me rode this range when we did n''t have but one blanket atween us-- didn''t we, Tom?"
23242You''ve got another''go''to Washington, hain''t y''?"
23242asked Hawk, cynically,"steal his own cattle from himself?"
23242cried Belle, already stirred,"what''re you doing with them rifles?"
23242exclaimed Carpy when it was all over,"if Sleepy Cat could do that much for a thief, what would it do for an honest man?"
23242persisted Sawdy,"what do you say?"
23242she asked innocently,"debt, obligation?
23242she asked, then as her wits worked fast:"Does n''t my father wish you to keep me?"
23242she demanded;"go''way back to Sleepy Cat?"
23242she returned collectedly,"by''doing something''?"
23242that awful place?"
23242where is he?"
38551And Miss Elder''s, was n''t it?
38551And do you care-- so much-- Viva?
38551And how far does that go?
38551And self- supporting?
38551And that I ca n''t ever get it back-- shall have to do clerk''s work at a clerk''s salary-- as long as I live?
38551And what is it?
38551And what''s her future if somebody do n''t help her?
38551And will you punish me-- so cruelly-- for that? 38551 And you''ll help me?"
38551And you?
38551Are n''t you coming in to see me-- ever?
38551Are n''t you over twenty- one?
38551Are you engaged or are you not, you dear old thing?
38551Are you going to scold me about something? 38551 Are you in any pain, Grandma?"
38551Boys are apt to be mischievous, are n''t they?
38551But Morton-- what are you going to do?--Won''t it spoil your career?
38551But do you-- get anywhere with it? 38551 But suppose you do n''t marry?"
38551But who is Morton Elder, and what has he done?
38551But why, Vivian, why? 38551 But, Grandma-- is it--_can_ it be as bad as she said?
38551By George, fellows,he said,"you know how nice Doc was last night?"
38551Ca n''t you wait a bit and go home with me?
38551Can she cook?
38551Can you prove that?
38551Charmed to find you at home, Ma''am,he said;"or shall I say at office?"
38551Come on, take a walk with me-- won''t you?
38551Could n''t he-- write to me-- as a friend?
38551Dick,she said,"are you going to stand for this?"
38551Did n''t you know I meant to have a sort of kindergarten? 38551 Did she misunderstand the invitation as bad as that?"
38551Did you bring a trunk, Grandma?
38551Did you swear to keep your oath secret?
38551Do n''t you want some, Susie? 38551 Do n''t you want some?"
38551Do what?
38551Do you blame me, Grandma?
38551Do you like it-- that kind of work?
38551Do you think he cares for her, still?
38551Do you want to be a doctor, like Jane Bellair?
38551Does duty to parents alter the temperature?
38551Does parental duty cease? 38551 Done what?
38551Especially in a co- educational town-- don''t you think so?
38551Ever think about them?
38551Fine boy-- eh? 38551 For whom?"
38551Has he had losses?
38551Has he kissed you yet?
38551Has that damned doctor been giving me away?
38551Have you anything definite to tell me-- anything that you could_ prove_?--if it were necessary to save her?
38551Have you had supper? 38551 Have you heard that I''ve lost all my money?"
38551He does not look well,said the lady,"you are old friends-- do tell me; if it is anything wherein a woman''s sympathy would be of service?"
38551He writes to his aunt, of course?
38551How can I be your friend if I do n''t know the facts? 38551 How did you ever learn to arrange things so well?"
38551How do you find friends enough to give them to?
38551How do you know he-- wishes to marry her?
38551How does that go, Vivian? 38551 How long?"
38551How old is he?
38551How on earth have you managed not to be recognized?
38551How''d you learn the facts, my son? 38551 How''s he getting on?
38551How, Grandma?
38551I hope you count me a friend?
38551I like her-- tremendously, do n''t you?
38551I suppose you mean travelling-- and selling goods?
38551I suppose you''ve heard about Morton Elder?
38551I''d like to help her and the boy, but would it-- look well? 38551 I-- excuse me; but I thought----""You thought I could n''t conveniently pay it?"
38551Interested in philosophy, Miss Lane?
38551Is Dr. Hale out there, or Vivian?
38551Is a daughter always a child if she lives at home?
38551Is he, Grandma? 38551 Is she a safe person to have in the house?"
38551Is there any deficiency, mental or physical, about a man, to prevent his attempting this abstruse art?
38551It''s rather a good joke on Hale, is n''t it?
38551Life wears on you, I''m afraid, my dear.... Do you ever hear from him?
38551Look here, Elmer Skee,she said suddenly,"how much money have you really got?"
38551Lost a fourth? 38551 May I have the pleasure of this dance?"
38551Mine was promised yesterday, was it not, Miss Lane?
38551Morton has,Vivian explained,"and he wo n''t let Aunt Rella-- why where is she?"
38551My dear young lady, you are not reading books of which your parents disapprove, I hope?
38551Nice people, then-- how''s that?
38551Nice world, is n''t it?
38551Not feeling well, Mr. Lane? 38551 Not if he had smallpox, or scarlet fever, or the bubonic plague?
38551Not sure you can? 38551 Now Vivian, are you down on me too?
38551Now then-- What is wrong between us?
38551Oh, say-- come in after supper, ca n''t you? 38551 Oh,_ why_, Ma''am?
38551Oh-- I? 38551 Oh-- me?
38551One of these happy family reunions, ma''am?
38551Pardon me,said the reverend gentleman to Mrs. Pettigrew,"did you speak?"
38551Should n''t I-- ever?
38551Skee, did you say?
38551Some parents_ are_ pretty graspin'', ai n''t they? 38551 Some sort of a fandango going on?"
38551Stand for what, my esteemed but cryptic fellow- practitioner?
38551Suppose I do n''t want to marry?
38551Susie-- crying?
38551Tea? 38551 That is a most fascinating young lady who has Mr. Dykeman''s room; do n''t you think so, ma''am?"
38551That man Skee?
38551That pretty little thing with the grass and flowers round it?
38551That was why you-- left him?
38551That''s a good scheme of Jane Bellair''s, do n''t you think so?
38551Then you haven''t-- done it?
38551There is no other man?
38551There''s no reason we should n''t enjoy ourselves, Susie, of course, but are n''t you-- rather hard on them?
38551They say you-- went to the city-- with a lot of the worst boys in college----"Well? 38551 This is your Western chivalry, is it?"
38551Want me?
38551Ward? 38551 Well, child, have you never in all your little life been kissed before?"
38551Well, is this my house, or Coney Island?
38551Well-- he can buy another, there are more, are n''t there?
38551What am I doing?
38551What are the difficulties?
38551What are they to do? 38551 What are you doing here, Vivian?"
38551What business is it of mine?
38551What did they say?
38551What do you call''a good business?''
38551What do you mean-- having the Doctor in the house?
38551What do you say he''s really done?
38551What do you think Mort Elder''s been doing now?
38551What do you want to do?
38551What have you done?
38551What have you got to look forward to, Rella?
38551What is her present?
38551What is it?
38551What is so noble as the soul of woman? 38551 What is the matter, Vivian-- are you ill?"
38551What makes you think he wants to?
38551What was it?
38551What woman upset him?
38551What''d she give up for?
38551What''ll we be doing when we''re forty, I wonder?
38551What''s all this rumpus?
38551What''s the boy''s name?
38551What''s up, anyhow?
38551What''s up?
38551Where are you going?
38551Where did you get it, Dr. Hale? 38551 Where''d you get this idea anyhow?"
38551Where''s Mrs. Jones all this time?
38551Where''s that last letter of Morton''s?
38551Which I judge you do not wish to be known?
38551Who are?
38551Who did it?
38551Who''s got a sore throat?
38551Why do n''t she keep an eating- house still?
38551Why do n''t you have one yourself, Johnny?
38551Why do you object to him, Jeanne?
38551Why not?
38551Why not?
38551Why not?
38551Why not?
38551Why should n''t I have a good time?
38551Why waste a thirteenth trump on your partner''s thirteenth card?
38551Why, Morton,she said;"is that you?
38551Why?
38551Will they understand it if they are idiots? 38551 Will you not invite it to return?"
38551Will you tell that to your crippled children?
38551Wo n''t you be seated?
38551Wo n''t you get cold?
38551Wo n''t you speak to me-- Viva?
38551Would n''t it-- interfere with my teaching later?
38551Would n''t what, Girlie? 38551 Would you marry a man not young, not clever, not rich, but who loved you dearly?
38551Would you marry a poor man?
38551Yes; but how can you prove it on him?
38551You are going to college, I suppose?
38551You certainly know how, Dr. Hale,said Miss Orella;"I particularly admire these beds-- with the sheets buttoned down, German fashion, is n''t it?
38551You folks are so strong on duty,the doctor was saying,"Why ca n''t you see a real duty in this?
38551You have n''t repudiated Dr. Bellair, have you?
38551You know how a year or more ago it was put about in this town that Andrew Dykeman was a ruined man?
38551You love children, do n''t you, Vivian?
38551You think he has-- That?
38551You''ll do, all right, wo n''t you Theophile,he said, and offered him a shining nickel and a lozenge,"Which will you have, old man?"
38551You''re not sick, are you?
38551Your school?
38551''11:30?
38551''Why do n''t you come back?
38551A little sombre, is n''t it?
38551ACHIEVEMENTS 283_ Who should know but the woman?--The young wife- to- be?
38551Ai nt there some among your patients who could be stirred up a little?"
38551And Vivian-- don''t suppose I dare call you Vivian now, Miss Lane?"
38551And Vivian?
38551And if she must"--he looked at Vivian, and went on somewhat lamely--"dance, why not dance with me?
38551And in the case of a motherless boy like this-- lonely, away from his home, no good woman''s influence about-- what else could we expect?
38551And knit?"
38551And the beautiful music club we had one Winter-- and my little private dancing class-- do you remember that?
38551And you love me a little-- don''t you?"
38551Any other gentleman like to make remarks on this topic?"
38551Anything worth doing?"
38551Are n''t you coming in?"
38551Are n''t you ready to begin that little school of yours?"
38551Are you going to sit still and let that dangerous patient of yours marry the finest girl in town?"
38551Are you happy in it?"
38551Are you not yet a child in your father''s house?"
38551Bellair?"
38551Bellair?"
38551But I thought awhile back that I had n''t any chance-- you were n''t jealous of that Artificial Fairy, were you?"
38551But Viva,"--his hand pressed closer--"is it only-- friends?"
38551But have we no faults?
38551But he fell desperately in love with that beautiful Mrs. James-- don''t you remember about her?
38551But she heard again Dr. Bellair''s clear low accusing voice--"Will you tell that to your crippled children?"
38551But why did he change?"
38551But-- was it womanly to go there-- for that?
38551Ca n''t we be-- friends?"
38551Ca n''t you do that''Kerry Dance''of Molloy''s, and''Twickenham Ferry''--and''Lauriger Horatius?''"
38551Ca n''t you reconsider?"
38551Ca n''t you see''em, upside down on the bath apron, grabbing at things, perfectly happy, but prepared to howl when it comes to dressing?
38551Ca n''t you-- can''t we-- do something to-- stop this awfulness?"
38551Can it be had here?"
38551Cloud?
38551Could she be the help and stimulus he seemed to think?
38551Did n''t you know it before?"
38551Do I look like it?"
38551Do you imagine that all these fifteen men are going to propose to you?"
38551Do you mean to let Morton Elder marry Vivian Lane?"
38551Do you mean to let a man whom you know has no right to marry, poison the life of that splendid girl?"
38551Do you think I_ could_ count on them-- really?"
38551Do you want a son like Theophile?"
38551Do you want to grow up like the rest of the useless single women in this little social cemetery?"
38551Do_ you_ think she would?
38551Dr. Ward of the_ Centurion_?"
38551Dykeman?"
38551Elder?"
38551Hale?"
38551Hale?"
38551Have I done anything wrong?"
38551Have I done anything you do n''t like?"
38551Have a toothache and not_ mention_ it?
38551He consulted her also about Vivian-- did she not think the girl looked worn and ill?
38551He did not even say,"When will you marry me?"
38551He did not say again,"Will you marry me?"
38551He had said this, he had looked that, he had done so; and what did Vivian think he meant?
38551He says he''s working on a book-- some big medical book, I suppose; but what''s the hurry?
38551He whitened to the lips, but asked quietly,"Why?"
38551House room?"
38551How can a fellow say why?"
38551How do you know?
38551How many could you handle?"
38551How much did he mean by asking her to help him?
38551How''s that dear baby getting on?"
38551I do n''t suppose you could give an absolute opinion now, could you?"
38551I wonder what did happen to him?"
38551If she had had a daughter would she not have thanked anyone who would try to save her from such a danger?
38551If some say"Innocence is the greatest charm of young girls,"the answer is,"What good does it do them?"
38551In the same business he was last year?"
38551Is it somebody''s birthday?"
38551Is it the swelled kind, or the kind that smarts?"
38551Is not that it?"
38551Is she a plain cook or a handsome one?"
38551Is that jacket for me, by any chance?
38551Is there any outlook for you?
38551Just because a man''s lost his money?
38551Little soft cheeks against yours, little soft mouths and little soft kisses,--ever think of them?"
38551May I have the pleasure, Miss Lane?"
38551May I speak for a little?
38551Now, Orella Elder, why do n''t you wake up and seize the opportunity?"
38551Now, why do n''t you give up your unnatural attempt to be a doctor and assume woman''s proper sphere?
38551O-- and please-- I have n''t a bit of change left in my purse-- will you pay the man?"
38551Once more, Dick, shall you do anything?"
38551Or for that matter, what do any boys''fathers and mothers know?
38551Pettigrew?"
38551Say-- are you coming to the club to- morrow night?"
38551She wo n''t miss me a mite-- will you Grandma?"
38551Sue Elder, I wish----""Wish what?"
38551Suppose a patient of yours had the leprosy, and wanted to marry your sister, would you betray his confidence?"
38551Tell me, ought not there to be more-- more love?
38551Then he came forward, calmly inquiring,"Why have n''t you sent me my board bill?"
38551This flat, narrow life, so long, so endlessly long-- would nothing ever end it?
38551This is good- bye-- You wo n''t change your mind-- again?"
38551To live to hear him say:"''Ah, who am I that God should bow From heaven to choose a wife for me?
38551Well, shall we be going back?
38551What are you sitting up for?
38551What can be the reason?
38551What did Rella know?
38551What do they say I did?"
38551What do you say, Miss Lane?"
38551What do you want to do, Vivian?"
38551What does a boy know?...
38551What else?"
38551What have I done He should endow My home with thee?''"
38551What have I done-- that I have not told you?"
38551What have you got here you so hate to leave, Rella?"
38551What made you do that?"
38551What''s all this mysterious talk anyhow?
38551What''s lackin''?
38551Whatever was the matter?
38551When Mrs. Pettigrew could talk, she demanded suddenly of the minister,"Have you read Campbell''s New Theology?"
38551When did you come?
38551Where did you learn first aid to the injured, and how to handle-- persons of limited understanding?"
38551Where?"
38551Which would you recommend, Ma''am?"
38551Whose whole life hangs on the choice; To her the ruin, the misery; To her, the deciding voice.__ Who should know but the woman?--The mother- to- be?
38551Why did n''t you let us know?
38551Will it satisfy you when they are dead?"
38551Will they see it if they are blind?
38551Will you forgive me, Orella?"
38551With whom?"
38551Wo n''t it be fun, Viva?"
38551Wo n''t you go on, please?
38551Would n''t go away?
38551Would n''t it be a good thing to send her off for a trip somewhere?
38551You are the sweetest woman I ever saw, Orella Elder-- will you marry me?"
38551You ca n''t make it earlier?
38551You do n''t compare them to canned pears, do you?"
38551You do n''t mind my noticing, do you?"
38551You never would have done it_ if_ you''d known-- would you?
38551You remember Dr. Black''s lectures?
38551You will marry me, wo n''t you?
38551You''ve seen that little building going up on the corner of High and Stone Streets?"
38551and the other a fascinatingly impossible Possibility of a sort which allows the even more complacent"Did n''t you?
38551cried his aunt, bustling in with deep concern in her voice,"What''s this I hear about you''re having a sore throat?"
38551dear girl, do n''t you see that''s wicked?"
38551she said,"Have n''t we always been friends, the best of friends?"
45618A detective?
45618An exchange? 45618 And after that?"
45618And be murdered in cold blood somewhere in the mountain passes?
45618And go forth a beggar?
45618And how much of a loan would you want?
45618And my liberty during that respite?
45618And now?
45618And that is the only show you intend to give me?
45618And that is?
45618And what am I to expect?
45618And what do you expect to do with us?
45618And what do you intend to do with me, now that you have got me? 45618 And what do you promise him now, Joaquin?"
45618And what is he to us? 45618 And what kind of a fair show do you intend to give me?"
45618And when does the captain expect the others to come in? 45618 And you will destroy none of the money mean time?"
45618And you will give me no other chance whatever?
45618And you will not accept my proposition?
45618And you will not spare me?
45618And you will turn me over to them?
45618And your cache is under that boulder?
45618Any treasure there now?
45618Anything to say, Deadwood Dick?
45618Are you ready?
45618Are you to be depended on?
45618At once?
45618But I had always looked upon your spoken word as sacred, and now--"See here, what is this man to you, Susana?
45618But what have you done? 45618 But, the money?"
45618But, what about ther prisoner?
45618But, what of you? 45618 Ca n''t you hold it back and give me a chance?"
45618Can I help that?
45618Castleville? 45618 Did you hope to escape me?"
45618Did you not suspect that it was he, Susana?
45618Do n''t see anything more, do you?
45618Do you happen to have a pair of handcuffs with you?
45618Do you know me, Joaquin Escala?
45618Do you know what is good for a burn?
45618Do you show mercy?
45618Do you want me to show you? 45618 Do you want this boulder rolled down upon you?"
45618Forced to suspend, eh? 45618 Have you any idea what is going to be done with me?"
45618Have you got any baggage aboard?
45618Have you taken leave of your senses? 45618 Here are your weapons, now, but how are they to be sent up to you?
45618Here is a horseshoe; will that do?
45618How can I convince you--"That you are not Captain Joaquin?
45618How can I, and why should I?
45618How hot do you want et, captain?
45618How is your concern after your loss?
45618How many are there in the house?
45618How will this room do?
45618How will you handle it, though? 45618 I suppose you are still here, eh?"
45618I want you to return my revolvers to me, in good order--"Say, do you take us for fools altogether? 45618 If I surrender to you, with this bag of money intact, will you allow me to go free?"
45618Is he to be shot as well?
45618Is that all?
45618Is that right?
45618Is your former proposition still open?
45618Joaquin?
45618Killed him? 45618 No one saw you cache it?"
45618No?
45618No?
45618Now, what are we going to do with him?
45618Shall I put''em on myself, or will you come and attend to that?
45618Shall we carry out our duel?
45618Shall we go to the house?
45618So, wildcat, it is you? 45618 So, you are alive, are you?"
45618So, you would not take the chances, eh?
45618Suppose I should draw a white one, does that give me my liberty?
45618Suppose you had captured me, would you let me go again?
45618That so? 45618 That word will be kept, will it not, Joaquin?"
45618The Castleville National Bank?
45618The drawing for a white bean?
45618Then what are you kicking about?
45618Then what is the matter with your accepting it? 45618 Then why did n''t you shoot me?
45618Then you are determined to cache it?
45618Then you are ready to meet big checks?
45618Then you desire to escape him now?
45618Then you do n''t believe that I will do what I say?
45618Then you will not do it?
45618Then, what can you propose?
45618There is a law in the land, sir, and--"And he will do as he pleases, eh?
45618To be depended on? 45618 To what purpose?"
45618Well what shall it be?
45618Well, for my proposition-- are you open to anything that I might suggest? 45618 Well, what do you want to do?"
45618Well, what is your proposition, then?
45618Well, what now?
45618Well, what would you call terms?
45618Well?
45618What about that loan made to Hiram Smith which you foreclosed only a few days ago?
45618What are we goin''to do with him?
45618What are you doing here?
45618What are you going to do about it?
45618What assurance have I that I will not be shot at sight?
45618What can I do?
45618What danger am I in?
45618What do you consider it worth?
45618What do you intend doing with me?
45618What do you mean?
45618What do you mean?
45618What do you propose respecting it, then?
45618What do you propose, then?
45618What else can I do? 45618 What for?"
45618What have we got to do with the funds of the bank? 45618 What is it?"
45618What is it?
45618What is it?
45618What is it?
45618What is that? 45618 What is the sense of that?"
45618What is the use of dividing, when I can have it all if I want to take it?
45618What is the use? 45618 What is to be done with him?"
45618What is your balance, less this check I speak of?
45618What kind of a show do you want?
45618What was that?
45618What''s the matter with you?
45618What''s the matter?
45618What''s the mischief?
45618What''s your reason for that?
45618Where is Castleville? 45618 Where is that horseshoe?"
45618Where is the fight to take place?
45618Which one?
45618Who is your captain?
45618Who shot me?
45618Whur''m dat dar so''head ob you''s?
45618Why did I do it? 45618 Why did you not back me up as you promised?
45618Why not?
45618Why not?
45618Why not?
45618Why should I?
45618Why, who is he, captain?
45618Will you sign all over to me, or shall the expose be made here and now? 45618 Will you?"
45618Yes, yes; why did I not think of it? 45618 Yes; and yours?"
45618You are surprised?
45618You can not trust me, then, an hour?
45618You do n''t mean it?
45618You do not mean to let me know what it is?
45618You fail to recognize me, Captain Joaquin? 45618 You have given me your life,"he said;"what can I do for you in return?"
45618You have nothing more to propose?
45618You mean to tell me that you, knowing who I am, really would have entered into a compact with me and taken me into your band?
45618You want a particular passenger?
45618You will fight?
45618You will give me a chance?
45618You will take charge? 45618 You wo n''t trust us?"
45618And what assurance have we that you will keep your word?"
45618Are you all ready to begin?
45618Are your weapons in order?"
45618Brown?"
45618But at what a cost?
45618But, do you not mean to give me a show?"
45618But, were they after any special treasure, or was it only a coincidence that they had chosen that particular train for their prey?
45618But, who was he?
45618But--""What?"
45618By what right?"
45618Can you ask it?"
45618Can you square accounts with me, Mr. Brown, if I give you an hour?"
45618Come, now, why did n''t you?"
45618Did you not tell me that it was a fair fight, that he was giving you the fairest show you ever had in your life?
45618Do you know what is in store for you?
45618Do you want further proof of my devotion to you?
45618Does he think they are in the express safe to- day?"
45618How would you like to become one of us?"
45618I mean, will you hold out to the end, when it comes to the test?"
45618Now, what vengeance do you suppose I will take upon you for this?"
45618Shall I arrest you, make known your true name here, and let the citizens of this camp deal with you as you deserve?"
45618Suppose I lay it on your forehead and call you Cain?
45618Susana?"
45618Then Captain Joaquin called out:"Deadwood Dick?"
45618Then what is the matter with killing him, since he is my mortal foe, and it must be his life or mine sooner or later?"
45618Was this the chance for his life the road- raider intended to give him?
45618We do n''t want him springin''no tricks on us, hey?"
45618What I was going to say-- suppose we both get disabled, what of the money in that event?
45618What are you going to do with me?"
45618What can I do for you, sir?"
45618What can we brand him with, boys?
45618What do we want with them after this rich haul?
45618What do you suppose I know about any bank business at Castleville?"
45618What is he to all of our class?"
45618What is it?"
45618What is that?"
45618What is your suggestion?"
45618What position are you in to talk of terms?
45618What shall it be?"
45618What terms do you want?"
45618What were her thoughts?
45618What would the bank''s funds be on our train for?"
45618Where does it lie?"
45618Where does the exchange come in, I would like to know?
45618Where is the rope?"
45618Who is with me?"
45618Why did you do this?"
45618Why should he be talking terms and conditions to a man already in his power, and that man an outlaw?
45618Will you force me to the wall?"
45618You have been looking for me, then?"
45618that so?"
45618what care I for your threats?
45618you see where you are, do n''t you?
46276A cannon?
46276An American rifle?
46276And Pepillo?
46276And Pepillo?
46276And can we do nothing, absolutely nothing? 46276 And doña Dolores?"
46276And he? 46276 And their right?"
46276And what is there stowed there away?
46276And you are his guide?
46276Are you speaking seriously, Captain?
46276But I take it, we do part friends as we have journeyed, eh?
46276But may I not leave the Pearl fisher rich on his_ hacienda_ in Sonora?
46276But you are alive?
46276Caballero, what do you mean by that?
46276Can the signal rockets of the hacienda be seen from the two points you mention, and the road occupied by the mass of the rebels?
46276Come along with you, Oliver?
46276Deuce take you-- what''s that for?
46276Did you never hear the men about the port mention one Benito Vázquez, of the Upper Gulf?
46276Do you mean to tell us that you know nothing more of Benito Vázquez, his bride and his friends?
46276Do you really think that run will last?
46276Do you see that rising ground up which they are toiling with that big gun? 46276 Do you think I do not recognise the Chicken heart''s pistol of two shots, by the handle nicked with cuts for the men he has slain?
46276Eh? 46276 Even in case I risk the whole heap?"
46276For why not? 46276 G-- go myself?"
46276Ha, Señora Vázquez?
46276Had you not better send one of these, who are so familiar with the country?
46276Has anger flamed up between us brothers?
46276Have they come in among us?
46276Here upon the hill--"Out of shot?
46276How goes it, pard.?
46276How so?
46276How''s the play?
46276I even thought that I might make a yacht of--"Of the goleta in the port, of the_ Burlonilla_--of my vessel?
46276In the midst of them?
46276In what way? 46276 Is there room, save on the platform itself, for a troop of men?
46276It is true, Ricardo, that the red men do never approach the Owl Tower; but what is that? 46276 It''s understood?"
46276Let me have a yard or two of leather rope, d''ye hyar?
46276My cousin? 46276 Now, do you really think,"I inquired, hesitatingly,"that this continuation will not bore?"
46276Now, then, Cat, what have you got on your notched stick( record) to tell off?
46276Of them, who is going to be uneasy, father?
46276Oh, is this windfall come merely to embitter my death?
46276Oh, were you there? 46276 Oh, you air Mr. Rough- on- the- Herdsman, you air?"
46276Poltroons, eh?
46276Quite certain, eh, Oliver?
46276Right, but about your remuneration?
46276Saw don Aníbal, as he called himself? 46276 Shall we two go it alone, Captain?"
46276Since when has this tower been built with cartridges?
46276So we can manoeuvre without any apprehension of being discovered, you mean, Ol.?
46276Something to do with it? 46276 Stefano,"said the latter, loudly enough for the others to hear,"I believe you are devoted to me?"
46276Suppose you are good enough to let me inspect this warrant, madam?
46276Then what the mischief are you staring for?
46276This captain with the seared hooknose? 46276 Weeping?
46276Well, Captain?
46276Well, Mr. Death- to- the- Cowboys, how like you that? 46276 Well, what''s the news?"
46276Well,said Oliver,"who''s the captain?"
46276Well?
46276What are they waiting for?
46276What do I say to that offer?
46276What do you mean?
46276What do you think of all this, Zagal?
46276What for, Señor?
46276What news?
46276What''s your pleasure?
46276Where are we?
46276Where is the gate I found, and which I can not surely lay my hand upon now in the wet?
46276Where''s their left?
46276Who says so?
46276Who''s afeard?
46276Why not, pray?
46276Why should I not? 46276 Why should you stop here?
46276Will you venture all?
46276You ai n''t a- going to say you were took in, too? 46276 You are one of our saints, Señor?"
46276You await? 46276 You hear?"
46276You, Diego? 46276 Your daughter must be a happy woman to be the mate of so brilliant an officer, an admiral, at least, I suppose?"
46276_ ¡ Caray!_ Why ca n''t you pull together like honourable gentlemen of the prairie?
46276A full one-- who knew?
46276After spending some hours together in conversation, which they promised to renew,"who knows when?"
46276Am I to have no thanks even for having saved you from running your hasty head against this heretic''s gun?
46276And young Diego?"
46276And your father?"
46276Are you not bound to avenge La Gallina''s death?"
46276Are you ready?"
46276But how much longer air you going to keep an old companyero at the head of his nag?
46276But why do you again hint of danger?
46276But why,"added he, repeating the other''s phrase,"why does the Tiger Cat hanker after the Ocelot''s dead?"
46276But, after repulsing them, how could he hope to hold out a long time without food or drink?
46276Did not I hear don Stefano say something about your looking out to buy a pleasure vessel?"
46276Did you_ pay_ him, as I suggested?"
46276Do n''t you know I''m keeping school here?
46276Do you know the islands on the other coast of the Gulf of California?"
46276Do you not know the voice of that dog, the captain of Salteadores?"
46276Do you think to cut up three or four thousand niggers?"
46276Do''ye hear, Master Ignacio?"
46276Have n''t you firearms as well?"
46276Have you heard the voice of the wolf- with- the- leg- off at the door of this mud lodge?
46276Here?"
46276How can I thank you?"
46276How now, what do you know of the lady?"
46276How, how?"
46276How, then, is it that I have never been injured by him or his band?"
46276However can we repay the obligation we, their children, lie beneath?"
46276I feel like the big dog with a new brass collar-- how''s your feel, too?"
46276I''m atter her, for her family''s sake-- what''s the price of the captive?"
46276If I free you hand and foot, will you lend us your hand to help us shake the ground clear of these varmint?
46276In fact, how could the two hundred peons and Mexicans in the farm enclosure fear anything from a solitary red man?
46276Indeed, Tiger Cat answered without wincing:"Who can make( dead) meat of the white hunter?
46276Is he not glad to see the best warriors on the Apache roving ground?
46276Is he not surprised to see them here?"
46276Is it a go?"
46276Is it not Fronteras?"
46276Is it not perfectly in order?"
46276Is the Indian a friend or foe?"
46276Is there no smile?
46276It''s tie and tie in such shooting-- why did their pap trust them with firearms?
46276My dear little girl,"continued Mr. Gladsden, when he could speak tolerably calmly,"Did you never hear your father and mother mention an Englishman?
46276Now, who comes?"
46276Oh, why-- oh, why is not Benito here?"
46276Old Diego and young Diego play swordfish-- we scuttle the steamer, see?"
46276Pray who are you, Señorita?"
46276Shall I play something skippy?"
46276So, don Benito never has forgotten his old comrade?"
46276The grave I coveted, is it not a_ cache?_ Thank God!"
46276The next thing is, where shall I find your brother Ignacio and the rest of the family, Master Pepillo Santamaria?"
46276Then, turning to the Mexicans, who had waited the conclusion of their dialogue restlessly, he continued:"Whar''s them skyrockets?
46276They will leave powder round loose, will they?
46276To whom have I the favour of speaking?"
46276Was it not mine first, and did we not exchange firearms when we became sworn comrades in life to death?"
46276Was n''t that first lesson good enough?
46276Well, where are my brave fighting cocks now?"
46276What can I do for you?"
46276What do you say to that proposition?"
46276What does the chief say?"
46276What in thunder is that cry behind us-- on the sword hand?
46276What is all this farrago to me?
46276What is there strange in that?
46276What man in his lightness of heart would leap thus into the wolf''s throat?"
46276What say you?"
46276What will the hundred soldiers at Ures do?
46276What''s he like?"
46276What''s the figure?"
46276When a mosquito stings, you slap, do n''t you?
46276Where is Ignacio?
46276Where is the lieutenant, I say?"
46276Why do you weep?"
46276Why should the Ocelot hunger for the prey of the Tiger Cat?"
46276Why should we not press on to that village of which I perceive the roofs on the skyline, shining as if snow coated them?
46276Why the question now?"
46276Will he not burst with vexation if I slip past his dogs unhurt?"
46276Will you come?"
46276Yaqui?"
46276You hear me?"
46276You''ve''rubbed out''three solitary trappers, ha''you?
46276cried the robber, astounded,"You never mean to say you are not going to accompany me now that you see the way is unimpeded?"
46276ejaculated the chief, evincing some astonishment himself,"The Apache chiefs were expected by the great pale hunter?"
46276with a smile of his former discredit,"Copper bolts?"
39094Am I going to stand still and be called a coward? 39094 And last night?"
39094And take the farm away from us?
39094And what are the consequences?
39094And what might be the name of the place where you live?
39094And what might your names be?
39094And who are you?
39094And you lost?
39094Any luck, boys?
39094Are n''t we going to Dizzy Gulch?
39094Are n''t you, Jed?
39094Are you going to any place in particular?
39094Are you going to keep Mr. Harrison much longer?
39094Are you going to stop?
39094Are you going to take back what you said about me?
39094Are you going up against Gabe?
39094Are you hurt?
39094Are you miners, too?
39094Are you much of a rider?
39094Are you poor?
39094Are you sure this is the place?
39094Are you sure you shut the one in my bedroom?
39094As if pins and needles were all over you?
39094Boys,said the old miner one morning, as they were preparing to break camp, and travel on,"suppose you stay here for a few hours?
39094But how can I do it? 39094 But is it true you are going prospecting up at Dizzy Gulch?"
39094But say, Will, am I mistaken, or are those horses down there?
39094But the railroad fares?
39094But what takes you away from Dizzy Gulch?
39094Ca n''t we get under some shelter?
39094Can I have the horns?
39094Can you hear me now?
39094Come far?
39094Con Morton? 39094 Could n''t you find it again?"
39094Did I-- did I stay on?
39094Did I? 39094 Did he have a white spot on the breast?"
39094Did he say how things were going there? 39094 Did it fall on you?"
39094Did one named Con Morton show up around here?
39094Did some one rob you?
39094Did we put''em as deep as that?
39094Did you feel that?
39094Did you get him?
39094Did you get him?
39094Did you lose what you had?
39094Did you see our brown horse pass here a while ago?
39094Dizzy Gulch, you mean? 39094 Do I look like a man who had money in two banks?"
39094Do n''t I, though? 39094 Do n''t you remember this big rock?
39094Do n''t you think it would be better to have a tent?
39094Do they have souvenir postals out in the mines?
39094Do you find gold mining pays?
39094Do you know him?
39094Do you mean to insult me?
39094Do you need as much as that?
39094Do you notice anything queer, Gabe?
39094Do you s''pose they''re gone for good?
39094Do you see any?
39094Do you suppose that''s a joke?
39094Do you suppose they will?
39094Do you take turns riding those horses?
39094Do you think there''s gold there?
39094Do you think we''ll have a chance to shoot such big game?
39094Do you think you can travel?
39094Do you think you''ll ever see him again?
39094Do? 39094 Does n''t it bother you at other times?"
39094Enough? 39094 Even getting into the rapids?"
39094Fierce?
39094Find some? 39094 Find the gold?
39094For me?
39094Gamblers? 39094 Gamblers?
39094Going to Dizzy Gulch? 39094 Gold mining?"
39094Gone?
39094Guess you do n''t find this much easier than cultivating corn, do you?
39094Had n''t we better stake out a claim?
39094Had we better go look for him?
39094Has anything happened?
39094Have n''t you any particular place to go?
39094Have we struck a bonanza or not?
39094Have you found some more nuggets?
39094He did, eh?
39094Horseback?
39094Hot, ai n''t it? 39094 How about farming now?
39094How about the strikes at Dizzy Gulch?
39094How are you going to get out to that place with the queer name, then?
39094How are you now, Jed?
39094How can I get you out?
39094How can they, Debby, if we do n''t get rain? 39094 How did he know your address?"
39094How did it happen?
39094How did it happen?
39094How did you happen to think of it? 39094 How do you feel?"
39094How do you know?
39094How in the world did you get here, Gabe?
39094How long have you been here?
39094How much do you reckon it is?
39094How much is it worth?
39094How was I to know he did n''t know the difference between a bucking bronco and a cow pony?
39094How''s the water?
39094How?
39094I guess you wish you were back in the snug farmhouse, do n''t you, boys?
39094I will? 39094 I wonder who can be writing to me?"
39094I wonder why he came back after us?
39094I wonder why they are n''t squealing their heads off as they always are?
39094I''m hungry; are n''t you? 39094 Is he hurt any?"
39094Is he sick, mother?
39094Is it as bad as that?
39094Is it going to hold?
39094Is n''t that where we were encamped?
39094Is that the only mark you went by when you uncovered and then hid the nuggets?
39094Is this-- do you think it would be any good to dig for gold here?
39094Is you name Gabe Harrison?
39094Is your father Colonel Jack Bryant?
39094Is your interest money in the bank at Rossmore?
39094It hardly seems possible; does it, Will?
39094It''s a good joke, is n''t it?
39094It''s easy enough to say''go back to camp,''remarked Will,"but how are we going to do it?"
39094Jed? 39094 Me?
39094Montana?
39094Morning? 39094 Nettie, are all the windows shut?"
39094Now how am I going to get you out?
39094Oh, they had, eh? 39094 Oh, you will, eh?"
39094Oh, you would n''t do that, would you?
39094Old Pete ran away?
39094Once more, stranger, a tenderfoot by your looks, what will you have?
39094Probably you''ve heard of it?
39094Prospecting for what?
39094Say, I''d hate to go back now, cultivating corn in that hot field, would n''t you?
39094Say, do n''t you think it''s about time Gabe came back?
39094Say, do you notice anything queer?
39094See anything to eat?
39094Shall I give a yell?
39094Shall I throw the rope down to you?
39094Shall we ford it, or travel toward the head, where it is n''t so wide?
39094Shall we take it?
39094So, that''s the kind of men they are, eh?
39094Something queer? 39094 Suppose he''s on the other side of the river?"
39094Suppose we hide the gold somewhere, and let them catch us?
39094Suppose we stop here for grub?
39094Switchel?
39094Take you? 39094 That''s Pete, but where''s the pack?"
39094That''s what we''ll be doing soon, eh, Will?
39094The man who holds the mortgage on this place?
39094The sheriff?
39094Then how did you lose the rest of your fortune?
39094Then there is n''t any use in staying here?
39094Then we can go, ca n''t we, dad?
39094Then why do n''t you stay here?
39094Then you think I''m doing wrong?
39094They took it all?
39094Things are pretty dry around here, are n''t they, Enos?
39094Think he''ll shoot?
39094Travel? 39094 Was he going to show fight?"
39094Was that your hoss?
39094Was you- all thinking of striking out for Dizzy Gulch?
39094Well, if a baby wanted to play with a loaded gun, would you let him?
39094Well?
39094Were you wondering what happened to me?
39094Wha-- what''s that you said?
39094What about?
39094What are you carrying it with you for?
39094What are you going to do, neighbor Crosby?
39094What can we do?
39094What did he say?
39094What do you mean?
39094What do you say to that?
39094What do you want here?
39094What for?
39094What happened? 39094 What is?"
39094What made you give it up?
39094What makes you think so?
39094What makes you think they have gold?
39094What of? 39094 What then?"
39094What will you do?
39094What would be your choice?
39094What''ll we do?
39094What''s a rocker?
39094What''s happened? 39094 What''s that?"
39094What''s that?
39094What''s the good of it?
39094What''s the matter, Enos? 39094 What''s the matter, mother?"
39094What''s the matter? 39094 What''s the matter?"
39094What''s the matter?
39094What''s the matter?
39094What''s the matter?
39094What''s the matter?
39094What''s the pickaxe for?
39094What''s the use of supposing any such thing as that?
39094What''s the use of worrying until you have to?
39094What''s''pay dirt''?
39094Where are you going?
39094Where are you? 39094 Where are you?"
39094Where can they have gone? 39094 Where did I dig gold?"
39094Where did the horse go?
39094Where did you dig gold?
39094Where do you mean?
39094Where might you boys live?
39094Where was this?
39094Where''s the little one?
39094Where''s your camp? 39094 Where''s your horse?
39094Where?
39094Which way?
39094Who did it?
39094Who got it?
39094Who says I stole his fortune?
39094Who was he? 39094 Who was he?"
39094Who you talking to?
39094Who you yelling to?
39094Why did n''t I think of that first? 39094 Why for would you like to meet up with him?"
39094Why not?
39094Why not?
39094Why, what''s the matter with you?
39094Will you go over there and look after my nag? 39094 Will you let me try him?"
39094With my money?
39094Wo n''t you come in, and have some dinner?
39094Wo n''t you come in?
39094Worse? 39094 Yes, it''s easy enough to go down the slope, but where will we come out?
39094You did n''t happen to see a brown horse with only a bridle on, as you came along, did you?
39094You do n''t gamble? 39094 You do n''t say so?
39094You will, eh?
39094You, my dear girl? 39094 Are there gamblers here?
39094Are you alive?
39094Are you hurt?"
39094Are you killed?"
39094But do n''t you want a drink?"
39094But do you think my partner worried over it?
39094But first, are you sure there''s no other way out?"
39094But what are you going to drink?
39094But what chance have we to go out West in the mining country?"
39094But what''s this?"
39094But why did Jed and Will go away?
39094But why do you ask?"
39094But would you like to stay here a few days?"
39094But, Mr. Crosby, seriously speaking, why ca n''t these two boys go with me?
39094But, what do you think of him, anyhow, Jed?"

39094Ca n''t we, dad?"
39094Ca n''t you climb out?"
39094Ca n''t you wait a few weeks?
39094Can I wash up a bit?
39094Can you travel?"
39094Could it have been to look for me?
39094Crosby?"
39094Crosby?"
39094Crosby?"
39094Dad, ca n''t Will and I go gold mining?"
39094Did you ever work on a farm?"
39094Did you say it was morning?"
39094Did you see any signs of gold?"
39094Do you know these tenderfeet, Ned?"
39094Do you suppose the sheriff would let us?"
39094Do you think we can find the way back?"
39094Does she know you''re out?
39094Eh, Jim?"
39094Going far?"
39094Going to the new fields?"
39094Got a stone bruise?"
39094Got any shot cartridges?"
39094Harrison?"
39094Harrison?"
39094Harrison?"
39094Have you had any luck?"
39094Have you my interest?
39094Have you their address, Nettie?"
39094Have you your guns loaded?"
39094How am I to know you had the interest in the bank?"
39094How are you feeling, Will?"
39094How are you?"
39094How can you joke at such a serious time as this?"
39094How could you help us?"
39094How did it happen he pulled a gun on you, Jed?"
39094How did you come to get on this one?"
39094How do you mean?"
39094How long has he been here?"
39094How?"
39094I did n''t know him, and no one else seemed to; did you fellows?"
39094I guess----""Then the horse went on toward Fentonville?"
39094I wonder how the boys are making out with their cultivating?
39094I wonder if Jed''s all right?"
39094I wonder if the horse wo n''t come to me now?"
39094I wonder if they can be our nags, or from some other camp?
39094I wonder if we''re on the right trail?"
39094I wonder what ails him, anyhow?
39094I wonder where Gabe is?"
39094I wonder why we ca n''t see him?
39094If so, why are n''t they here now?
39094Is he badly hurt?"
39094Is he much hurt?"
39094Is the sheriff after you?"
39094Jimson?"
39094Shall I stake out a claim for you?''"
39094Suppose we start down that valley a way, and see if the horses wo n''t do the rest?"
39094Suppose we wait until morning?"
39094Suppose you look for the little rock?"
39094THE WELCOME LETTER-- CONCLUSION 200 TWO BOY GOLD MINERS CHAPTER I HARD TIMES"What''s the matter, Enos?"
39094Then why do n''t they send back some gold nuggets?
39094Those chaps?
39094Travel where?"
39094Was it an echo, or was that a voice replying to him?
39094What are we going to do, daddy-- sleep in the barn, in the hay?
39094What are we going to do?"
39094What are you looking up at the sky that way for?"
39094What are you two lads doing here?"
39094What can we do?"
39094What did you want of him?"
39094What do you think of that?"
39094What for, I''d like to know?"
39094What happened?"
39094What have you got there?
39094What if Jed had been killed, and he was left all alone there in the mountains, with that band of unprincipled men close after him?
39094What shall we do next?"
39094What''d I tell you?
39094What''s that, Jed?"
39094What''s that?"
39094What''s that?"
39094What''s the matter, Enos?"
39094What''s the matter, Will?"
39094Where are you?"
39094Where did you get those?"
39094Where''s there a well or a cistern?"
39094Who''s trying to rob you?
39094Why did n''t you send them to hunt for the fairy bag of gold at the foot of the rainbow?
39094Why did n''t you stay back East, tied to your mother''s apron string?
39094Why do n''t they pay the interest?"
39094Why do n''t you say the rain will do all sorts of good?"
39094Why not?
39094Why, what do you think of that?"
39094Why?"
39094Will you take us?"
39094Wonder what he''s writing to me for from away out in Montana?"
39094You''re not going to let them undertake that crazy plan, are you?"
39094Your son?"
39094called Jed to his brother, whose head was some distance above the stunted cornstalks,"do n''t you feel like having an ice- cream soda?"
31524Ai n''t it awful about the Saline country?
31524All about me? 31524 Am I, Marjie?
31524And after that?
31524And by the way, did you settle it with the widow, too? 31524 And do you mean to say that because Amos Judson turned you off and cut you out of his will, you had to come out to this forsaken land?
31524And if he really wants to do better, what have we all been told in the Sunday- school? 31524 And take some girl along?
31524And what''s below you?
31524And when the campaign''s over,queried O''mie,"will you stay in the army?"
31524And you told him good- bye at your own door?
31524And you would let that other girl take care of herself, would n''t you, while I was there? 31524 And you''ll be sure to keep still about my dad, too, wo n''t you?"
31524Are n''t you willing to right the wrongs you''ve done, and save yourself, too?
31524Are you afraid of Indians?
31524Are you afraid of them, Candace?
31524Are you going out West to stay?
31524Are you leaving us?
31524Are you mine once more?
31524Are you tired after your journey?
31524Are you waiting for me here?
31524Better now? 31524 Bud, you tow- headed infant, how the dickens and tomhill did you manage to break into good society out here?"
31524But had n''t ye heard? 31524 But whose flower wreath could it have been?"
31524But why did n''t you stay there?
31524But why leave here?
31524But,Tell persisted,"how do the Injuns themselves feel?"
31524Ca n''t you, ca n''t you put us to work?
31524Can they do better than that, Grover?
31524Can we have a room downstairs? 31524 Can ye picture what would be down there now?
31524Could anything have happened to him?
31524Could it be an Indian camp- fire?
31524Could you, Phil? 31524 Did Amos Judson tell you all this, Mother?"
31524Did I know Judson? 31524 Did he tell you about his girl here?"
31524Did n''t find any dead dogs nor children next mornin'', did ye, O''mie?
31524Did n''t ye hear,''four A. M. sharp''? 31524 Did she have on a red blanket too, Saturday afternoon?"
31524Did you follow it?
31524Did you go near the cabin?
31524Did you know her or her husband?
31524Did you see any one, or is it just a wayside camp for movers going out on the trail?
31524Did you see him again that night?
31524Did you see him first?
31524Do n''t you really care for Lettie, Phil? 31524 Do n''t you think he will be good now, Phil?"
31524Do you know how Jean Pahusca came to carry a knife for years with the name,''Jean Le Claire,''cut in the blade? 31524 Do you mean to say, Thomas O''Meara--?"
31524Do you really think he will be good now?
31524Do you remember the day Judge Baronet took his squad out av Springvale, Phil? 31524 Father Le Claire, can you tell me anything about Jean Pahusca, and where he is now?"
31524Father Le Claire, how do the Injuns feel about this fracas now?
31524Father, am I a fool, or is it in the Baronet blood to love deeply and constantly even unto death?
31524Father, must that trip be made to- day? 31524 Father, you remember when you were twenty- one?"
31524Father,I began hesitatingly,"Father, do you still love my mother?
31524For goodness''sake, who goes there?
31524Had n''t we better turn back now? 31524 Had n''t you heard?"
31524Has anybody seen him this morning?
31524Has he been flirting with some one, Mr. Tillhurst? 31524 Has he given you cause?"
31524Has n''t that Indian massacre been avenged yet?
31524Have ye talked wid Father Le Claire?
31524Have you come to the cross- roads, Phil?
31524Have you heard the news?
31524Have you talked to O''mie of this?
31524He did? 31524 He took you home from the Andersons''party the night Dave Mead was at Red Range?"
31524His will? 31524 How about Brother Dodd?"
31524How about that island, Grover?
31524How can anybody help lovin''her?
31524How can you get some, Bud? 31524 How come the rid flowers stuck with the little burrs on your dress?
31524How did you get here, O''mie?
31524How do you do?
31524How does this concern you, Phil?
31524How much cause have you given her? 31524 How much time will it require to get your counsel and come here again?"
31524I will see you again; may I?
31524I''ll guess that''s petticoats going up there,I said mentally,"but who''s hunting wild flowers out here alone this time of night?
31524I, strolling? 31524 I?
31524I? 31524 I?
31524In no way, then, has Philip ever done you any wrong? 31524 Is it whiskey?"
31524Is n''t that all?
31524Is that the biggest hostler you''ve got?
31524Is that the lilac that is so fragrant?
31524Is the town safe?
31524Is this your story?
31524It must be movers, and as to that red flash of color, are you real sure it was not just a part of the rose- hued world out there?
31524Look at the ould man, now, would ye? 31524 Marjie, can it be you?
31524Marjie,I said gently,"will you kiss me and tell me that you love me?"
31524May I ask you one favor?
31524May I see you just a minute? 31524 May I take something else to Aunt Candace, too, Marjie?"
31524May I take you home, Marjie, and tell you how sweet that letter was?
31524Mr. Mapleson, will you repeat to Le Claire what you have just told me and show him your affidavits and records?
31524Mrs. Gentry,Le Claire asked abruptly,"where did you find O''mie?"
31524Now what the deuce can you do in the army, O''mie?
31524Now''d ye ever see a finer- lookin''couple?
31524Now, Cam, has anybody ever heard her say she was engaged? 31524 Now, Phil, where did you get that knife?"
31524Now, as to this half- breed, why the devil did n''t you kill him when you had the chance? 31524 Now, how did he ever get to that place, O''mie?"
31524Now, will you tell us what you know of this case?
31524Nowhere, is she? 31524 O''mie, we know, and Father Le Claire knows, but how can we make those foolish girls understand?
31524O''mie, you heard Dr. Hemingway''s prayer last night?
31524Of his own choice?
31524Oh, Marjie, my Marjie, what is wrong?
31524Oh, O''mie, what are you forever tagging me for?
31524Oh, Phil, Phil, are you here again? 31524 Oh, Phil, what shall we do?
31524Or you?
31524Phil Baronet, you thon of a horthe- thief, where have you been keeping yourthelf? 31524 Phil, did Le Claire suggest any property?"
31524Phil, do ye remimber that May mornin''when ye broke through the vines av the Hermit''s Cave? 31524 Phil, when did you see Jean Pahusca last?"
31524Phil, why do you hate me?
31524Phil,Aunt Candace was at the door now,"have you thought of the Hermit''s Cave?"
31524Philip, why do you consider the cave possible?
31524Phwat can I do? 31524 Really, is there?"
31524Say, Clate, where''s Bud going?
31524Settle it? 31524 Shall I do it, little sister?
31524Shall we tell Le Claire?
31524Something else now?
31524Spakin''of bein''paupers and bein''kept by Judson, Lettie-- who is payin''the wages of sin, in money and fine clothes, right now? 31524 Stands to reason a boy who can live in Kansas would go back to Massachusetts, does n''t it?"
31524Tell me, O''mie, what''s he done?
31524Tell me, O''mie,I said at last,"how you happened to find me up there two hours ago?"
31524That means we''ll never get across either, does n''t it?
31524Them horses dangerous?
31524There is no stain somewhere, no folly of idle flirtation, no weakness? 31524 They call that being''locoed''out on the Plains, do n''t they?"
31524Tobacco?
31524Uncle Cam, where is O''mie? 31524 Until when?"
31524Was she never heard of again?
31524Well, an''phwat did somethin''do to you?
31524Well, little sweetheart, honest now, and I wo n''t tell, and it''s none of my doggoned business neither; but be you goin''to marry Amos Judson?
31524Well, what ever did become of that Jean, anyhow? 31524 Well, what is it you want?"
31524Well, what is it?
31524Well, what took her to the-- to the old cabin out there?
31524Well, what was it, O''mie?
31524Well, who be thaid lady?
31524Well, why not set your cap fur the widder? 31524 Well,"I said,"will I do?"
31524Well?
31524Were you waiting for me, dearie? 31524 What are you doing, Pete?"
31524What are you going to do, Phil?
31524What are you going to do? 31524 What brought you out here, Bud?"
31524What can I do for you, Lettie?
31524What do you mean?
31524What does he come here so much for, anyhow?
31524What else?
31524What for?
31524What has happened, Philip?
31524What is it, Marjie?
31524What is it, Phil? 31524 What is it, Phil?"
31524What is it?
31524What is your name, and what do you want?
31524What makes you call me''Star- face''? 31524 What makes you lonesome, O''mie?"
31524What makes you think so, John?
31524What news?
31524What part of town did he have, Philip?
31524What was it your business?
31524What was it, Marjie?
31524What was it, a rattlesnake?
31524What were you doing there?
31524What will you do with him?
31524What''s Tell Mapleson after this year, d''ye reckon? 31524 What''s that?"
31524What''s the matter down there?
31524What''s the matter with these critters, Phil?
31524What''s the matter, Baronet? 31524 What''s the matter, Baronet?"
31524What''s the matter, O''mie? 31524 What''s the matter, Phil?"
31524What''s these Kansas men with their capital letters got to do with it?
31524What''s your name?
31524What''th going to be done?
31524When are you going to leave?
31524When do you go home?
31524When shall I call?
31524When was that one night?
31524Where are you going, Marjie?
31524Where does he live?
31524Where has he been? 31524 Where is your home, your tepee?"
31524Where was he at that time?
31524Where was he?
31524Where will you go now?
31524Where will you go, my boy?
31524Where''s Aunt Candace?
31524Where''s O''mie?
31524Where''s my evidence?
31524Where? 31524 Who is he, daughter?"
31524Who taketh your plathe, O''mie?
31524Who told you he was there, father?
31524Who took you home the second time?
31524Whose business?
31524Whose business?
31524Why ca n''t he stay Injun? 31524 Why did n''t I get a letter, dearie?"
31524Why did n''t you come home with the crowd, handsome giant?
31524Why did n''t you say so?
31524Why did you leave Massachusetts?
31524Why do you ask?
31524Why not tell me now what father knows?
31524Why should it be small?
31524Why should you care?
31524Why, O''mie?
31524Why, boys, what''s all this delegation mean?
31524Why, what did he fear?
31524Why, where was Uncle Cam?
31524Why?
31524Will you and Judson kill time down here?
31524Will you help us out of this, Le Claire?
31524Will you sign a relinquishment to your claim, and trust to me that it is the best for us to do?
31524Will you stay with me, Bud, till I get up there?
31524Will you take this young lady home for me? 31524 Will you wear it again for me, dearie?"
31524With Phil?
31524Would n''t a Injun look funny with my thcalp?
31524Would you know it, Marjie, if you thaw it again?
31524Would you really do that, O''mie?
31524Yes, you narrow, grasping robber of orphans, why?
31524You Judge Baronet''s son?
31524You are safe still?
31524You care so much for another man''s wife? 31524 You did n''t see who was on the horse, did you?"
31524You go at sunrise?
31524You know that rich Melrose girl''s gone back to Topeka?
31524You know the purpose of Amos Judson''s visit with your mother yesterday?
31524You say you wo n''t?
31524You sleep well?
31524You two gettin''ready to elope? 31524 You wanted to see me, Phil?"
31524You wanted to see me?
31524You will look after them, John? 31524 You''ll go to prayer meeting, Phil?"
31524You''ll never let the Indians get you, will you, Phil?
31524Ai n''t you sometimes?"
31524An''what more could a man do?
31524And a voice, Marjie''s sweet voice, called anxiously:"Is that you, Phil?
31524And his pleading voice,"Phil, ye''ll come soon, wo n''t ye?"
31524And now, what else?"
31524And phwat''s to be nixt?"
31524And second, is the young man we call O''mie heir to the same?
31524And when King Lear asked,"What''s that?"
31524And who is his beneficiary?"
31524Any old waterproof cloak to lend me, girlie?"
31524Anybody here seen him for five years?"
31524Anything except a pretty girl?"
31524Are n''t we pretty near the edge?
31524Are n''t you proud of the name, John?"
31524Are they?"
31524Are you afraid of ghosts?"
31524Are you goin''to quit it?
31524Are you scared or sick?"
31524Are you the man to get it?"
31524At the supper table my host went directly to my case by asking,"Have you come out here to prospect or to take hold?"
31524Besides, who wants to back out?
31524But how about her?"
31524But tell me, Father,"I had dropped down beside him again,"do you still love my mother?
31524But the query,"Where''s Phil, now?"
31524But what is the matter, Phil?"
31524But what took you to the top of the cliff at midnight?
31524But where is Philip?"
31524But where was he after that?
31524But who has spoken out for these-- the women and the young?
31524But who is this shadow of Jean Pahusca''s-- a priest in civilization, a renegade on the Plains?
31524But you''ll promise, wo n''t you, for the sake of my husband?
31524CHAPTER X O''MIE''S CHOICE And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his gods?
31524Cam groaned,"can anything have happened to him?"
31524Can a career like this be atoned for with a bank check and interest at eight per cent?"
31524Can you imagine what his mother felt when she found her boy was stolen?
31524Can you picture the joy of that reunion?
31524Could I be deceiving her by putting Rachel off in her presence?
31524Could I be the same boy that watched that line of blue- coats file out of Springvale and across the rocky ford of the Neosho that summer day?
31524Could I?
31524Could it be that her mother was trying to influence my father in her favor?
31524Could she be in league against me?
31524Could twenty- four hours of distrust and misunderstanding displace these fourteen years of happy thinking?
31524Could you care for anybody else?
31524Could you go out again to- morrow?"
31524D''ye just notice Phil''s hair, layin''in soft thick waves?
31524D''ye see?"
31524D''ye''s lief come into town that way?"
31524Did I know her?"
31524Did I remember?
31524Did a merciful God forget the Plains in those days of prairie conquest?
31524Did he iver decaive?
31524Did he iver do a cruelty to a helpless thing, or fight a smaller boy?
31524Did he iver turn coward in a place where courage was needed?
31524Did his manner please Marjie?
31524Did my love for her spring into being at that instant?
31524Did n''t they have their full swing at you?"
31524Did n''t we settle that in those days together at dear old Rockport?
31524Did you ever feel as if you were near somebody you could n''t see?"
31524Do I love the woman who gave you birth?
31524Do you know the writing?"
31524Do you prefer any witness or counsel, or shall we settle this alone?"
31524Do you remember how I would always get on your side of the game when Jean Pahusca played with us?"
31524Do you remember when we played hide- and- seek in there?"
31524Do you see now?"
31524Do you see?"
31524Do you think he is safe?"
31524Do you want it?"
31524Does a man love the same woman always?"
31524Ever thee a tow- headed flying thquirrel?"
31524Faintly, just beside me, came the reply:"Phil, you''ve come?
31524First, did O''Meara give up the land he entered?
31524For suddenly came the query"How can I best take care of her?
31524For why?
31524Fur why?
31524Goin''northwest?
31524Had I not seen the unselfish, kindly, generous spirit that had marked all his business career?
31524Had he told me that to give me courage in my hour of shrinking?
31524Had we not lived on this Kansas border in all those plastic years when the mind takes deepest impressions?
31524Had we not sworn our fealty to the flag, and protection to our town in our boyish patriotism the Summer before?
31524Has he been a young man of double dealing, coarse and rude with some company and refined with others?
31524Have you and Marjie quarrelled?
31524Have you any answer to my claim?"
31524Have you ever known him to deceive anybody?
31524He was no coward, nor laggard; but where could he have kept himself?
31524He''s an Osage, is n''t he?"
31524Honest, now, what''s what?"
31524Honestly, now, was there iver anything in all the years we run together that was n''t square and clane and fearless and lovin''?"
31524How can a man as good and holy as I am manage the obstreperous girls?
31524How can a man live who has lost his wife, or his sweetheart, in that way?"
31524How can the Good Bein''permit it?"
31524How could God permit it?
31524How could I ever care for a girl so mean- spirited and cruel as she had been to me?
31524How could I meet this woman now?
31524How could he be so good to me and then deceive me so?
31524How did you ever get back?"
31524How is your mother to- day?"
31524How long will you care for her?"
31524How much is it going to take to settle it?
31524I did not notice him until he said slowly:"Baronet?"
31524I know now it was only a boy''s patriotic foolishness, but who shall say it was ignoble in its influence?
31524I s''pose you''ve heard the news?"
31524I shall see you again-- to- morrow?"
31524If by blood ties, why does the priest not own, or entirely disown him?
31524If not, why does the priest protect him?
31524Is Jean hidin''out round here again?
31524Is Uncle Cam being imposed on?
31524Is n''t it Longfellow who speaks of"the lovely stars, the forget- me- nots of the angels,"blossoming"in the infinite meadows of heaven"?
31524Is n''t that true, Brother Dodd?"
31524Is that fair to Marjie?"
31524Is that the kind of a priest you are?"
31524Is there any?"
31524It was a lovely stroll though, was n''t it, Philip?"
31524It was just Marjie''s imagination, was n''t it?"
31524Le Claire, you are just back from the Osage Mission?"
31524Let''em go?
31524Mapleson, will you renounce your retainer''s fees in your interest in the orphaned?"
31524Marjie, I''m goin''to kape these flowers till-- well, now, Marjie, shall I tell you whin?"
31524Marjie, do you remember the time Jean Pahusca nearly got you?
31524Marjory Whately, did anybody iver catch him in a lie?
31524May I go to him?
31524May I?
31524Maybe the hole had something in it, one of Phil''s letters to Marjie, who knows?
31524Mr. Baronet and I have recollections of two delightful years when he was in Harvard, have n''t we?"
31524Mr. Dodd who married you to the Kiowa squaw?
31524Now ai n''t that right?
31524Now what had he to leave?
31524Now, Lettie, what else?"
31524Now, Marjie, why''d you run off?
31524Now, why do I have to bear all of it?"
31524O say, does that star- spangled banner yet wave O''er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
31524O''mie?
31524Of course, I would go to Topeka, but might she not come to Springvale?
31524Oh, Phil, I''m so-- what?
31524Oh, what can it all mean?
31524Or did you think His Excellency, the Reverend Dodd was right, an''I''d cut for cover till the fuss was over?
31524Phil, d''ye reckon this will iver be a dacent civilized country?
31524Phil, whin does your padre and his Company start to subdue the rebillious South?"
31524Presently she said,"May I come up to your office pretty soon?
31524Satisfy me?
31524See the name?"
31524Settle this in court or out of it?"
31524Shall I believe Lettie, or O''mie?"
31524Shall I stay with her in the light, or go into the dark and strike the danger out of it?"
31524Shall I tell you why?"
31524Shall we clinch the bargain now, or do you want to think about it a little while?
31524Shall we take this money at her father''s death?"
31524She may be scared o''him, an''he knows it; but bedad, I''d not want to be the border ruffian that went prowlin''in there uninvited; would you?"
31524So Marjie concluded mentally and then she asked innocently:"How can Amos Judson''s visit make this call here necessary?"
31524Suddenly O''mie gave a start and in a voice low and even but intense he exclaimed:"For the Lord''s sake, wud ye look at that?
31524Tell me the truth now, as you must answer for yourself sometime before the almighty and ever- living God, has Philip Baronet ever wronged you?"
31524Tell me truly, have you done wrong?
31524Tell me, do you care for her still?
31524That''s fair, is n''t it?"
31524That''s what you lawyers want, ai n''t it?"
31524The Judge has asked two questions:''Did Patrick O''Meara ever give up his title to the land?''
31524The first time I saw Marjie she asked,"Are you afraid of Indians?"
31524The old tree is shapely, is n''t it?"
31524Thee that thaplin''on the bank?
31524Then it was that I heard O''mie''s low words:"Bedad, Phil, an''that''s how it is wid ye, is it?
31524They had gone-- but whither?
31524To the others it was a wasted bit of heroism, for if none of us had yet found the way to this retreat, why should we look for O''mie there?
31524Was Le Claire a villain in holy guise?
31524Was it inherited courage, or was it the spirit of power in that letter, Marjie''s message of love to me, that gave me grace there?
31524Was it the will of Providence made O''mie appeal to them at the right moment?
31524Was that a trick of Lettie''s to put Marjie out of my thought, I wondered, or did she really know my heart?
31524Was the foolish girl attracted by this picturesque creature?
31524We might as well get this matter between us settled here as over in the court- room, eh?"
31524What a careless set av young idiots we were then?"
31524What boy after that would not have braved any danger to explore the depths of this hiding- place?
31524What business had she robbin''folks of letters, stealin''''em out, and givin''''em into wicked hands?
31524What could I do but leave town?
31524What could have happened to bring all this about?
31524What did it ever grow for?"
31524What did it mean?
31524What did you see?
31524What do I think?
31524What do they know of the old Puritan blood, and the strength of the grip of a Massachusetts man?
31524What does it mean, Phil?
31524What else could it be?
31524What else could that look on her face last night have meant?
31524What else could this terrified horse with its flying harness ends mean?
31524What else?"
31524What else?"
31524What had I done to be so lovingly and reverently welcomed home?
31524What have I to fear?"
31524What have you done with Marjie''s letter that you stole before it got to Phil?"
31524What is that long, narrow, red light down by the creek?"
31524What makes some folks so precious, I wonder?
31524What word may I take to Phil for you?"
31524What''ll he do wid the greatest common divisor an''the indicative mood an''the Sea of Azov, an''the Zambezi River, when he''s learned''em, anyhow?
31524What''s been the matter?"
31524What''s in gray hair and baldness, anyhow?
31524What''s the least will satisfy you?"
31524What''s the matter?"
31524What''s the tariff due on this junk?"
31524What''s yours?"
31524When shall I call?"
31524When shall I lave off?''
31524Where did he come from?"
31524Where have you been?"
31524Where is it you are going, Phil?"
31524Where were Custer, and Moore, and Forsyth, and Pliley, and Stillwell, and Morton, if such as I be called a hero?
31524Where were you, Lettie, whin I was spyin''and what were you doin''at the time yoursilf?"
31524Where''s Bud going?"
31524Where''s O''mie?"
31524Whin?
31524Who are you, anyhow?
31524Who begun it?
31524Who do you reckon come to Springvale last month?"
31524Who knows how soon we may need strong men in this town, men who can do the short- range work?
31524Who says I''ve been talking about you?"
31524Who''d want to have hair like a girl''s?
31524Whose business was it?"
31524Whose escort were you?"
31524Why do n''t you go too, Phil?
31524Why not tell me now what you know?"
31524Why should he hesitate so now?
31524Why should she be forever haunting my way, though?"
31524Why should she go out there?"
31524Why?
31524Why?"
31524Wid them Missouri raiders on the east and the Injuns in the southwest where''ll anybody down there be, begorra, betwixt two sich grindin''millstones?
31524Will ye be av us, boys?
31524Will ye stay wid us?"
31524Will ye take''em?"
31524Will you come up to Topeka?"
31524Will you go over and see how Mary Gentry''s arm is, and come up to the courthouse in about half an hour?"
31524Will you go too?"
31524Will you go with us, Baronet?
31524Will you help me?"
31524Will you ride the pony?"
31524Will you sign the papers now?"
31524Wo n''t you?"
31524Would I?
31524Would this man lie now to please Judge Baronet?
31524You are pretty tired, are n''t you?"
31524You could like somebody else just as well, could n''t you, Phil?"
31524You know that woman you and Bud found in Satanta''s tepee on the Washita?
31524You said, in conclusion, that I was trackin''you, and you ask, am I goin''to quit it?
31524You see it, do n''t you?
31524You who have had a wife to love, a son to cherish?"
31524You will let me feel when I am far away that you are shielding my little girl from evil, wo n''t you, Phil?"
31524You''ll come of course?"
31524You''re sure you know just which crevice of the rock it is?''
31524and where was he going?"
31524and''Is O''mie his heir, and therefore the rightful owner?''
31524but I wish we could have been in that fight; do n''t you?"
31524or tend to somethin''else besides your own business?
31524or what''s to be gained by it?
31524so that''s how it is wid ye, is it?
29628''Bout that gold strike? 29628 ''What?''"
29628Absurd, is it?
29628Ai n''t he comic?
29628Ai n''t he sold it to a woman? 29628 Ai n''t they an ignorant lot o''hogs?"
29628An''if I do n''t want to-- get busy?
29628An''what are the things he''s been sayin''?
29628An''when, may I ast, do I make bricks?

29628An''wot, I asks, is they to be judged by if not by wot they are? 29628 An''you''re goin''to git busy-- readin''that story?"
29628And do you think this sort of trouble would occur if-- if the men had n''t been drunk?
29628And how about Beasley?
29628And if it is?
29628And lost it all?

29628Is it necessary? 29628 Is n''t he a beauty?"
29628Is n''t it desperate of me? 29628 Is that the only reason?
29628Is that the reason you must n''t, dare n''t, listen to me?
29628Is that you, Joan?
29628Is there no hope?
29628Is-- is there anything I can-- do for you?
29628Is-- is there no hope, auntie?
29628It was his friend, you say, who has taught you that-- you have nothing further to fear? 29628 It''s no use asking you where we are now, I suppose?"

29628Say,Beasley began, the moment they were out of ear- shot of the rest,"guess you ai n''t bin around the farm lately-- I mean this afternoon?"
29628Say,he went on presently,"you never felt so that your head would burst, so that the only thing worth while doin''would be to kill some one?"
29628Scared?

29628Ai n''t ther''nuthin''doin''since that mutt with the thin yeller thatch got busy shootin''?
29628Ain''t-- ain''t she a pictur'', ai n''t she----?"
29628An''Pete''s good enough for any woman, eh, Pete?
29628An''ai n''t he expectin''her along?"
29628An''if I had, wher''s the cuss on you?
29628An''then?"
29628An''who in blazes are you that you ca n''t be touched?
29628An''why?
29628And did not he die of typhoid within two weeks of committing that foolishness?
29628And here, here to the south would they have faced this terrible barrier belching out its torrential waters, perhaps amidst fire and smoke?
29628And his name, Buck-- don''t you like it?
29628And this was the man who had carried her-- where from?
29628And what of the Kid, and of CÃ ¦ sar?
29628And who is this paragon?"
29628And why not?
29628Another drink?"
29628Are you game?
29628Are you, Lulu?
29628Aunt?
29628Beasley was the man-- and he felt that wherever Beasley might be, trouble would never be far----What was that?
29628Because I am lonely here without you, and-- and-- oh, do n''t you understand?
29628Besides----""Besides what?"
29628Best?
29628Buck?
29628But then they do n''t just understand, eh?"
29628But then, what of the lake?
29628But what was that?
29628But what was this?
29628But where-- what?
29628But-- where are your customers?"
29628But-- you have your own-- stock to see to?"
29628Ca n''t you read what the hand of Fate is trying to point out to your blinded eyes?
29628Ca n''t you see?
29628Ca n''t you see?
29628Ca n''t you see?
29628Ca n''t you understand?
29628Can I stand around an''see you passed over to a low- down sort o''law that condemns innocent folks?
29628Can you beat it?"
29628Can you not see that I am trying to preserve my sanity?
29628Could they make it?
29628Cousin?
29628Cruel?
29628D''yer see it?
29628Death?
29628Did I not tell you you could not escape your curse?
29628Did n''t he make a fortune on the Cotton Exchange?
29628Did n''t he tell you that it was you who brought him his luck?
29628Did not the man Cahusac ask you to marry him?
29628Did not you refuse him?
29628Disaster?
29628Disaster?
29628Do n''t you understand?
29628Do you get that?"
29628Do you know what we men call such creatures as you?
29628Do you see?
29628Do you understand that I will brook no interference from you?
29628Do you understand?
29628Do you understand?
29628Do you?"
29628East?
29628Eh?"
29628Gettin''ready for a siege?
29628Git me?"
29628Gold?
29628Gold?
29628Guess that old-- your housekeeper can milk?
29628Guess ther''ai n''t no''chawin''''now?"
29628Guess you ai n''t yearnin''fer glory that way?"
29628Guess you like them sort, eh, Pete?"
29628Had he not witnessed the furnace upon that side?
29628Had he, too, escaped?
29628Had not Buck told her that they held her in the light of some sort of benefactor?
29628Had not her aunt told her that this extraordinary luck that she must ever bring was part of the curse shadowing her life?
29628Had she----?
29628Had that terrible cataclysm impressed him with a new view of the life by which he was surrounded?
29628Had they, too, gone on the rushing tide?
29628Has not everything I have told you been part of it?
29628Have I not warned you of the disaster which you have permitted him to court?
29628Have a drink?"
29628Have you escaped it?
29628Have you got a wood spoiler you can trust?"
29628He is a horror, is n''t he?
29628He is n''t going to die?"
29628He sighed as Joan went on with her examination--"I suppose you have come to fetch some of your big friend''s belongings?"
29628He was stronger than disaster, and their love-- was it not stronger than death?
29628He wo n''t be smellin''around the fort now?"
29628Her words?
29628Here,"he cried, pointing at Devil''s Hill, away to his left,"what d''you make of that?"
29628His fate?
29628How are you responsible?
29628How came it that the world, his world, looked so fair?
29628How came it there, shot up in the midst of that wide, flat stretch of rock?
29628How can I help realizing the truth?
29628How could a washout sever such rock?
29628How could he study or analyze them?
29628How could it be otherwise?
29628How could it be?
29628How could such despairing hovels ever be expected to shelter men marked out for success?
29628How do you know all this?"
29628How had it happened?
29628How had this man discovered her secret?
29628How many had waited, and suffered and starved, as they had done, and done all those things in vain?
29628How many might there not be on Yellow Creek who could be so charged?
29628How were they faring?
29628How you goin''to set about him without me around?
29628How''d I put her out?
29628How''s that?"
29628How''s that?"
29628How''s that?"
29628How-- how dare----?"
29628How?
29628How?
29628How?
29628How?
29628How?
29628How?
29628I ai n''t quittin''this day month, am I, miss-- ma''m?"
29628I''m goin''after----""Say, you ai n''t goin''to butt in with two folks courtin''?"
29628In her eyes, what was that but the threat of disaster to come?
29628Is it a deal?"
29628Is there a lawyer?"
29628Is there no corner of the earth where I can hide myself from the shadow of this haunting curse?"
29628Is-- is that CÃ ¦ sar?
29628It would be yours when I died, and then who knows, in time, how valuable it might become?
29628Jest because of death an''disaster to me?
29628Jest that, an''--nothing more?
29628Kindest?
29628Kiss yer, did he?
29628Luck?
29628Luck?
29628Luck?
29628Makes you think, do n''t it?
29628Maybe a-- father?"
29628Maybe you''ll step inside?"
29628Mebbe you ken do without me-- till then?"
29628Mother?
29628My horror?
29628Never eaten hoss?
29628No means by which I could be saved from my fate?
29628No?
29628No?
29628Not reely?"
29628Oh, my dear, ca n''t you see that this same disaster must dog you-- now?"
29628Or was she dead?
29628Or-- or are you an''the Padre chasin''the long trail?"
29628Presuming, am I?
29628Say, ca n''t you fellers see, or are you blind?
29628Say, you fellers ai n''t lightin''out?"
29628See that patch o''grass on the sky- line?
29628See these guns?"
29628See?
29628See?
29628See?
29628See?"
29628She even found herself regretting that in a few minutes the morning"chores"would be finished, and this man would be away to-- where?
29628She''s just a nice, dandy bit o''soft flesh an''blood, eh, Pete?
29628Strength?
29628Surely it was Buck''s voice again?
29628That right-- now you''ve sold it?"
29628That''s her name, ai n''t it, boys?"
29628That''s where the camp is, is n''t it?
29628The Padre answered him--"Where?"
29628The direct challenge brought a slow smile to Buck''s face, and he answered with surprising energy--"Good?
29628Then after a pause she went on--"You think-- he''s dead?"
29628Then he went on,"We sha n''t farm any up there-- at the fur fort?"
29628Then what of him?
29628Then why should she abandon all these gifts because of a fate for which she was in no way responsible?
29628Then, after a pause:"Then who are you?"
29628Then, as he saw the look of perplexity in the wide violet eyes, he went on to explain--"You ai n''t heard?
29628Then, with something like resentment--"Are-- are you satisfied?"
29628There had been every indication of rain and yet none had come----What was that?
29628To what heights might he not soar?
29628To what might he not aspire?
29628Wal?"
29628Warped?"
29628Was he not at the threshold of life?
29628Was he not the one person in the world who held her fate in his hands?
29628Was it fate that brought me here?
29628Was it fate that brought you here?
29628Was it fate that made my teamster lose his way and so bring me face to face with this man, almost at the door of his own home?
29628Was it fate that you should love this man?
29628Was it not round this hill that all his past efforts had been concentrated?
29628Was it the end of his endurance?
29628Was ther''ever such a thought in the mind of sane man?
29628Was there ever such a country for white man to travel?
29628Was there ever such luck?
29628Was there ever such madness in sane woman?
29628Was this that which was stronger than disaster-- than death?
29628Was this that which was to leave life some compensations?
29628Was this the final crash of a brain driven to breaking- point?
29628Was this the love she had found?
29628Was this the love to lead her to salvation-- this wonderful love of Buck''s?
29628Was this the madness he had feared?
29628We know your innocence, then what more is needed after all these years?
29628Well, wot''s doin''?
29628Were not his veins thrilling with the rich, red tide of youth?
29628Were not these people a small band of regular tramp gold- seekers?
29628What about the advancement of good causes?
29628What about the intellectual side of civilization?
29628What about-- well, all those things we reckon worth while out here?
29628What are you going to do?"
29628What are you going to do?"
29628What could they do?
29628What did he know besides?
29628What did the folks call him?"
29628What do you mean?
29628What happened?
29628What has your life been?
29628What have I done that these things should curse my life?
29628What have I done to deserve this?
29628What have I done?"
29628What have you done?
29628What if it fell, wrecked with those dreadful earth quakings?
29628What if it flooded?
29628What if the bowels o''that hill had opened up an''the water been turned loose?
29628What in thunder''s amiss?"
29628What is the use of it if you do n''t take his advice?"
29628What is to follow?"
29628What lives must go down before the sword a terrible Fate had placed in her hand?
29628What might not happen?
29628What o''the camp?
29628What o''the women an''--the kiddies?"
29628What obligation, then, is mine?
29628What of those who had dwelt where the water now flowed?
29628What terrible, or sublime purpose, had been achieved during that night of terror?
29628What then?
29628What was it?
29628What was it?
29628What was that it said?
29628What was that?
29628What was the mystery into which she was blindly delving?
29628What was the use of her struggle against this hateful fate?
29628What was their outlook?
29628What was their perspective?
29628What were the affairs of these others to her?
29628What would he say?
29628What would he think?
29628What''s amiss?"
29628When''s she comin''along?"
29628Wher''d she come from?
29628Wher''d you ever see the like?
29628Wher''from sez I--_an''why_?"
29628Wher''is she?
29628Where are they?"
29628Where could the insanity lie?
29628Where had been their escape?
29628Where had she been?
29628Where is the right that you should involve Buck?
29628Where was she?
29628Where was the teamster?
29628Where?
29628Where?
29628Where?
29628Where?
29628Who are you to escape the miseries of life such as we all have to suffer?
29628Who can tell?"
29628Who is it?
29628Who is ther''in the hills?"
29628Who was it said these things?
29628Who''s Buck agin a feller like Bob Richards?
29628Who''s comin''?
29628Who''s comin''to get the''scream''?"
29628Who''s the next victim of the rotten luck of this Golden Woman?"
29628Who''s to say whose turn it''ll be next?"
29628Who, he wondered, was riding toward the farm, and for what purpose?
29628Who?
29628Who?
29628Why for should it be a curse on you because two fellers shoot each other up?
29628Why had she told him?
29628Why running?
29628Why should I have sympathy?
29628Why should I help any woman to a happiness I have never been allowed to taste?
29628Why should she submit to the terror of it?
29628Why should she waste her life battling with a force which seemed all- powerful?
29628Why, why?
29628Why-- how----?"
29628Why?
29628Why?
29628Why?
29628Why?
29628Why?"
29628Will you come, little Joan?
29628Will you help me with those-- lessons?"
29628Will you sure come?"
29628Will you take me to him one day?"
29628Woman?"
29628Wot''s the matter with me?
29628Would he have anticipated the swift rising storm and regained the shelter of the stout old fort?
29628Would it stand the test with its double burden?
29628Would you?
29628Yes, why not?
29628Yes, yes, I asked her, was there no hope for me?
29628Yet where?
29628You do n''t ask many questions, do you, Buck?"
29628You know him?"
29628You love me?
29628You love me?
29628You said it was red, Pete, did n''t you?
29628You seen''em, ai n''t you?
29628You would n''t now, would you?"
29628You, Kit?"
29628You?
29628Your cart was wrecked on the bank o''the creek----""And the teamster?"
29628_ She knew that she had._ What was the disaster that must follow?
29628can you not see?
29628she cried with passionate anger,"Why should I give you your man''s love?
29628she exclaimed interrogatively,"and you not yet out at the-- where the gold is?"
47399Ai n''t you satisfied? 47399 And in those days,"asked Donald,"was there much game in that Nebraska country?"
47399Are you looking for some of the medicine that Rufe got?
47399Are you used to the saddle?
47399But what do you mean?
47399But,asked Donald,"will these horses go up so close to a bear that you can rope it?"
47399By the way,asked Powell, as they were approaching the house,"what about those guns that you took away from the men yesterday?"
47399Ca n''t you go in and attend to your business and then come back? 47399 Could he get off on the railroad?"
47399Davis?
47399Did John tell you,asked Hugh,"about the story of the people getting separated?"
47399Did he have any money?
47399Did n''t you ever notice,asked Joe,"how often an Indian uses some natural and common thing for a tool in his work?
47399Did you see anything of Jack Mason?
47399Did you see him?
47399Do n''t you want to go out and look at them? 47399 Do you know in which direction camp is?"
47399Do you know when it was, Hugh, that cattle first came into the country north of the Platte?
47399Do you mean to say that you ever did so foolish a trick as to walk into a mud hole like that?
47399Great, is n''t it?
47399Had n''t we better get on our horses?
47399Have you fixed on what you''re going to do, Donald?
47399Have you got a horse to ride?
47399Hello, who''s that?
47399How are you going to work it?
47399How do you feel about it, Jack?
47399How do you know?
47399How do you mean?
47399How shall we work, Vicente?
47399I am sorry to seem so dull,said Donald,"but what do you mean by milling?"
47399I hope you did n''t get hurt when your horse fell with you?
47399I reckon you did n''t see Vicente get chucked to- day, did you?
47399I should think it would,answered Joe;"and what''s the matter with trying that rope scheme right now?
47399I wonder,thought Jack,"if that''s my horse going back to camp?
47399Is it?
47399Is that so?
47399Mr. Johnson, have you ever seen any black wolves in this country?
47399Of course, that was not a stampede, Joe?
47399Of course, you do n''t know anything of what become of the other fellow?
47399Say, Hugh,Mason asked,"did you ever hear that story told by John Monroe, about the first time the north Indians saw the white people?"
47399Say, now, what''s the matter with you, Jack?
47399Sha n''t we kill one?
47399Shall we try to hold them, or just let them drift, and stay with them?
47399Should n''t we go up there and try to kill them?
47399So you''ve finished up all your business, have you, Jack?
47399Son,Hugh said to Jack, who was riding near him,"why do n''t you and Donald go ahead and try to kill a buck antelope with your pistols?
47399That ca n''t be day coming, is it, Joe?
47399That may be true,replied Donald;"but suppose, on the other hand, he takes me off four or five miles farther away; what then?"
47399That must have seemed a pretty stupid thing to you, but what was the matter?
47399That''s so,agreed Jack;"but, say, Joe, you know more about cattle than I do, what is it that makes stock stampede?
47399There,said Jack,"what did I tell you?"
47399Was he a big horse-- a half- breed?
47399Was n''t it dark last night?
47399Was the cattle business new in this northern country when you were down in Nebraska, Hugh?
47399Was this antelope insane?
47399We are green at this sort of thing; but if you will tell us, we will do the best we can-- eh, Donald?
47399Well, Claib, how goes it?
47399Well, Mr. Donald,said Jack,"you are going along with us for a few days until you get a chance to go over to Uncle Will''s, are n''t you?"
47399Well, how are we going to get near him?
47399Well,exclaimed Jack,"what''s the news?
47399Well,said Ross,"how long are you going to be in town?
47399Well,suggested Donald,"why not try it anyhow?
47399Well,suggested Hugh,"why do n''t you wait until you get your other buckskin?
47399Well,suggested Jack,"what''s the matter with giving this young man his horse, or horses, and turning him loose now without any weapons?"
47399Were there any more horses like that down in that country?
47399Were you up there long?
47399What about these horses? 47399 What about those fellows with the red tails?
47399What are you doing down here? 47399 What are you going to do to- day?"
47399What finally became of him?
47399What sort of horse was he, Joe?
47399What time was it you passed him?
47399What''s going to kill him?
47399What''s he doing here?
47399What''s the matter with that box elder over there with the low fork? 47399 What''s the matter with you?"
47399What''s your riddle? 47399 Where did you come from?"
47399Where did you get your hide, Joe?
47399Where did you hold for that last shot?
47399Who do you suppose I saw to- day on the range?
47399Whose is it?
47399Why did he not run away? 47399 Why did n''t you get here earlier, so that you could have danced the first quadrille with Bess?"
47399Why do n''t you get the tail gate of the bed wagon and use that?
47399Why will he die?
47399Why, how did it come to break?
47399Yes,assented Jack,"I guess it''s quiet enough there most of the time; but say, what was the name of this man that Mason got into a quarrel with?"
47399You have been down among the Navajos, have you?
47399You sure she''s got no brand on?
47399You''ve got some money, have you?
47399Ai n''t you bein''well treated?
47399And do you remember that Indian that stopped us over by the crossing of St. Mary''s River and wanted whisky?"
47399And you say they''re tanners, too?"
47399Anything wrong with the pay?"
47399Are the Indians good ropers?"
47399Are you out here for the summer?"
47399As she opened the door he nodded and said to her:"How do you do, ma''am?
47399But have we got the ropes to tie him, if we do catch him?"
47399But how do you manage to turn them?
47399But what happened to you?
47399But what''s the matter with you?
47399By the way,"he added,"did you know that Claib Wood was in town?
47399Can we get a look at them?"
47399Can you see its horns?"
47399Did Uncle Will, or Joe, have anything special to talk about?"
47399Did anything happen to you on your way back with the cattle?"
47399Did n''t I give up just as soon as you told me to?"
47399Did n''t I tell you when I first came into town that I did n''t know that Claib Wood was here?"
47399Did n''t you just start a quarrel with me?
47399Did you ever hear of anything of that kind, Hugh?
47399Did you ever talk about it to Hugh?
47399Did you hear of any excitement?"
47399Did you save it for the brains?"
47399Do n''t you remember last night, when I was asking you men all those questions about Claib Wood?
47399Do you boys want to take off the hide?
47399Do you know anybody at the railroad that would buy your horse and saddle?"
47399Do you remember it well enough to give it to us?"
47399Do you remember it, Hugh?"
47399Do you remember that last trip we made, when we went up over the ice in those high mountains in the main range?
47399Do you remember that time four or five years ago when we ran into a bunch of stolen stock on the Sweet Water, and Hugh killed black Bob Dowling?
47399Do you remember the time Tony Beaulieu and his partners shot holes in the tent?
47399Do you savvy, Jack, how it is that a buffalo or a steer, or a cow, gets hamstrung?"
47399Do you think you can wake up at two o''clock, Jack?"
47399Do you want him, or shall I let him go?"
47399Do you want to mend me up again?"
47399Do you want to take mine?
47399Donald, I expect you''d like to kill an elk, would n''t you?"
47399Four or five years, is n''t it, since you were up in Rawlins?"
47399Have you any money?"
47399Have you ever tried it?"
47399Have you ever used a pistol much?"
47399Have you got a piece of paper?
47399Have you got any money?"
47399Have you seen a great many of these half- breed wolves?
47399How did you come to shoot him?
47399How do you know that that''s an antelope?"
47399How do you mean to send it to the man?
47399How is it with you, Joe?"
47399How is that, Joe?"
47399How''s that, Vicente?"
47399I can understand about the red bodies, because I suppose that means they wore red shirts, but what about the red tails?"
47399I do n''t suppose you have any message for your uncle?"
47399I mean crossed between a dog and big wolves, not coyotes?"
47399I was wondering, for example, if I were to turn around and walk to the door here, whether you would plug me before I got there?
47399I wonder if McIntyre would n''t like to kill her for beef?"
47399I''m going back to the camp in the morning, and I expect you''ll want to go along too, wo n''t you, Jack?
47399Is his place anywhere near your camp?"
47399Is n''t that so, Jack Danvers?"
47399Is that likely to be renewed when we get into town?
47399Is that so?"
47399It''s almost like a drawing- knife; and then look at the two handles on the ends-- ain''t that fine?
47399Likely you remember him, Hugh?"
47399Maybe you''ve seen him, Joe?"
47399Now what shall we do with this man''s partner?"
47399Now, Jack Mason, why did n''t you tell us all this when you came back from town?"
47399Powell?"
47399What did you do with the other horses, Bess?"
47399What do you know about the Claib Wood and Mason trouble, Jack?
47399What do you mean?"
47399What has happened?
47399What is your name?"
47399What sort of looking fellow was the one that got killed?"
47399What would we spend money for here?"
47399What''s become of him?"
47399What''s the news back at the ranch, Hugh?
47399Where do you want to turn them to, and why do you want to turn them?"
47399Where have you been?"
47399Which way did you say he was going, Mac?"
47399Who owns them?"
47399Who was this man that you came down here with, and where did you come from?"
47399Why do n''t you take it, Donald, and carry it back to the old country to ornament the walls of your baronial hall?"
47399Why do n''t you treat it the way the trappers treat beaver skins?"
47399Will that suit you?"
47399Will you hold it, and keep an eye on him while I search him?
47399Will you tell me how I may call you?"
47399Would n''t it be fun to go around among the Indian tribes and try to hunt up those Blackfeet and tell them about their relations up North?"
47399You heard Vicente say yesterday that if we had a beef hide we could take the bear to camp, did n''t you, Jack?"
47399You would like to hear them over again, would n''t you, Hugh?"
4707And Kedsty?
4707And O''Connor found out all this?
4707And Ponte, Kinoo, Mooie--?
4707And he knows you are here, of course?
4707And the reason for your suspicion?
4707And then-- what?
4707And you have come to help me-- to pay me for what I tried to do for you? 4707 And you make this confession knowing that you are about to die?"
4707And you refuse to confess your motive?
4707And you?
4707And, by the way, what did you think of the young lady?
4707Are you comfortable, little Gray Goose?
4707Are you listening?
4707Are you wet, little Gray Goose?
4707But if you should n''t?
4707But our greatest danger of being caught is right now, is n''t it?
4707But there must be personal affairs, affairs which you would like to entrust, perhaps, to me?
4707But why HIDING?
4707But-- perhaps-- in a sheltered place--?
4707Can you remember that we were, Gray Goose?
4707Did n''t you ever notice, O''Connor, that in a certain light under poplar trees one''s face is sometimes ghastly?
4707Did you-- er-- see this other gentleman kill John Barkley?
4707Do n''t you believe in God?
4707Do you know,she said,"that according to an old and sacred code of the North you belong to me?"
4707Do you understand, Marette? 4707 Even if I tell you-- soon-- that I killed Barkley?"
4707Good God, do you mean to tell me you do n''t know, Kent?
4707Has some one else been confessing?
4707Have I got to go all over it again?
4707Have n''t you seen O''Connor? 4707 How easily some men lose their tempers, do n''t they-- Jeems?"
4707How soon can you be ready, Marette?
4707I did make one pretty thorough confession, did n''t I, Father?
4707I do n''t believe you did, and Inspector Kedsty does n''t believe it-- yet the mighty queer part of it is--"What?
4707I have said a lot in a short time, have n''t I? 4707 Is it because of the girl hiding up at your bungalow, Kedsty?"
4707Is n''t it possible for a decent man to kill another man and not be called a liar when he tells about it? 4707 Is she a young woman?"
4707It has n''t always been like this, has it, Fingers?
4707It seems only yesterday-- or so?
4707Laselle-- Jean Laselle?
4707Marette, where is Kedsty?
4707Marette, you believe me?
4707Marette,he cried,"where are we going?"
4707Mercer?
4707Mind if I smoke with you?
4707Most men were fighters in those days of the gold rushes, were n''t they, Fingers? 4707 O''Connor, if you do n''t believe a dying man''s word-- you have n''t much respect for death, have you?"
4707Old? 4707 Or-- if I told you-- that I-- killed-- Kedsty?"
4707Pay you?
4707Tell me, Gray Goose-- what happened?
4707The Indian?
4707Was n''t a kingdom lost once upon a time because some fellow did n''t have a horseshoe? 4707 Were you asleep, Kent?"
4707What if you should n''t die?
4707What makes you think you are dying?
4707What would you do?
4707Where is Cardigan?
4707Where is she? 4707 Where is she?"
4707Why did n''t you wait?
4707Will the rain wipe out our footprints, Jeems?
4707Will you be ready in ten minutes?
4707Will you unlace them and pull them off for me, Jeems?
4707Will you-- Jeems? 4707 Wonderful black hair, blue eyes, wears high- heeled shoes just about half as big as your hand-- and very beautiful?"
4707Worse, is n''t it?
4707Would it seem more homelike if I smoked?
4707Yes, Marette-- why the devil have you come to see me at just the moment I''m due to explode? 4707 Yes, you see the point, Jeems, do n''t you?
4707Yes--?
4707You are James Kent, are n''t you?
4707You believe that I love you, that I did n''t kill John Barkley, that I am going to fight for you as long as God gives me breath to fight?
4707You believe that, Jeems?
4707You do n''t? 4707 You fainted-- and it happened then?"
4707You have heard-- about-- Ben Tatman?
4707You heard THAT, Mercer?
4707You know the great Sulphur Country beyond Fort Simpson, westward between the Two Nahannis?
4707You mean take time to think up a story that will hold water, mon pere? 4707 You mean, Jeems, that if one of three possible things does n''t happen, we''ll get through safely?"
4707You mean-- you were unconscious?
4707You were at school there?
4707You-- didn''t hear?
4707You-- you did n''t come down the stair?
4707Add another egg, will you, Mercer?
4707And I want to know-- it''s the biggest thing I EVER wanted to know-- did you kill Barkley?"
4707And I''ve been wondering, why did n''t she wear bush- country shoes or moccasins?"
4707And Kedsty was n''t expecting her, was he?
4707And after that?
4707And he was dying-- and even this stranger girl called him a liar?
4707And if I am, will you shake hands?"
4707And mother Anne''s father--""Yes--?"
4707And now, why?"
4707And now, will you listen to it?
4707And please do n''t forget the cigars, will you, Father?"
4707And the question which Kent found it impossible to answer was, had Marette Radisson really gone down the river on that scow?
4707And then she said,"Jeems, if we should be caught by the Police-- it would probably be quite soon, would n''t it?"
4707And then,"Jeems--""Yes, Niska, Little Goddess--?"
4707And was she going with him?
4707And what''s your other name, and how old are you, and what do you want of me?"
4707And why be unhappy because one has only a little while to live?
4707And you came to me, and I''m here with you now, because--""Of what?"
4707And-- if you do n''t mind-- will you turn off the light?
4707And-- see here, old man!--will you do a dying man the biggest favor he ever asked in his life?"
4707Are n''t you a little nervous, sitting so near to a man who''s ready to explode while you''re looking at him?"
4707Are n''t you?"
4707Are your eggs properly done, sir?"
4707Blame Cardigan for giving him back his life?
4707Blame him for the glorious knowledge that he was not going to die?
4707But what were ten years there as compared with forty or fifty under the sod?
4707But why, still later, had he almost been done to death?
4707But you did n''t come to talk religion?"
4707But you, Jeems?
4707Can you guess where it was?"
4707Confound it, man, DID YOU?"
4707Did you see Rossand''s fleet leaving for up north?
4707Do n''t happen to know where she is staying or why she is at the Landing, do you?"
4707Do n''t you know--?"
4707Do you care if I ask you about the girl?"
4707Do you mind telling me who it is?"
4707Do you think what I have just said will free Sandy McTrigger?"
4707Does that comfort you-- like the woman you prayed the Lord for?"
4707Father Layonne or-- Kedsty?"
4707Fingers, am I right?
4707Funny, is n''t it, that their names should be so strangely alike-- Mary and Marette?
4707Great heaven, mon pere, do n''t you believe me?"
4707Had Marette prepared for that?
4707Had she gone away?
4707Have n''t you come in touch with the Police anywhere within the last year?
4707He planned it all, every move, even to the screaming in front of your cell--""You mean-- Kedsty?"
4707How long ago was it that Mercer had seen Kedsty?
4707How long have I got?"
4707If I''m alive tomorrow morning, will you tell me?"
4707If she belonged in the North, if she was a part of it, why was she taking all of this apparently worthless footwear with her?
4707If she was from Montreal, why was she going north?
4707Is it because this is my last breakfast?"
4707Is n''t it splendid?
4707Is that it?"
4707It is-- Fingers, is it inspiration?
4707It was then that she had given him that splendid view of her amazingly long lashes and had countered softly,"What if you should n''t die?"
4707Jeems, Jeems, you are not like those other men I learned to hate?
4707Jeems, do you see that hump on his left shoulder, like a great epaulet?"
4707Kedsty?"
4707Kent?"
4707Knowing that he was going to live, why had she not remained to help him if she could?
4707Looking back over your life, does it seem so very long ago that you were a boy, a small boy?"
4707Now it would be a topping joke if some other complication should set in and fool us all again, would n''t it?"
4707Remember Follette-- and Ladouceur?
4707Remember how we''ve always played up to the big hunch?
4707Shall I tell him you are prepared to see him?"
4707Shall I tell you about it, Marette?"
4707Shall I tell you why I came to see you at Doctor Cardigan''s?
4707Shall we not talk about them?"
4707She was pretty, was n''t she?"
4707Sounds incredible, does n''t it?
4707That is it-- Jeems?"
4707The question which seated itself most insistently in his mind was, why had she come?
4707Then at last the yearning overcame him to have the soul speak out, that his God might be more merciful, and he said:"My boy, you are sorry?
4707Then he turned, and said:"Which will you have, Kent-- a wash- up and breakfast, or a visitor?"
4707Then, with rather startling unexpectedness, she asked him,"Where will they look for us tomorrow?"
4707There were only two things I loved, Jeems--""What?"
4707Understand, Marette?
4707Understand, old man?"
4707Was her relationship to Sandy McTrigger such that inquisitiveness alone had brought her to see the man who had saved him?
4707Was it conceivable that she was playing that game against Kedsty?
4707Was it not possible that she, too, was playing a game in giving the impression that she was leaving down- river on the hidden scow?
4707Was it possible that Kedsty himself had sent her for some reason which he could not even guess at?
4707Was it simply that he should be more closely watched, or was it a command to move him to one of the cells close to the detachment office?
4707Was it, Kent?"
4707Was it, after all, merely a matter of curiosity?
4707Was n''t that it?"
4707Was she mad or playing an amazingly improper joke?
4707Was the fact of murder necessarily branded in one''s face?
4707What could be the motive of her visit-- unless it was to thank him for the confession that had given Sandy McTrigger his freedom?
4707What has brought about the change in you?
4707What is her name?"
4707What is your game?
4707What was her power over Kedsty?
4707What was she to Kedsty?
4707What was the order that the Inspector had written on a sheet of paper for Constable Pelly?
4707What''s your game, old man?"
4707When none came, he demanded,"Was that according to the Criminal Code?
4707Where is she?"
4707Where was Fingers?
4707Who was Marette Radisson?
4707Who''s the visitor?
4707Why did n''t we make for the river?
4707Why did you confess to a crime which you did not commit?"
4707Why did you stop for him?"
4707Why do so many believe that I lie?"
4707Why had she come to Athabasca Landing?
4707Why had she come to see him?
4707Why have we come to Kedsty''s?
4707Why should I blame Cardigan?
4707Why should they wait?
4707Why should they waste time under Kedsty''s roof when freedom lay out there for the taking?
4707Why was it that Kedsty would like to see her dead?
4707Why was it that every one seemed to disbelieve him?
4707Why was she hiding under his roof?
4707Why was she in his house?
4707Why, then, had she gone away?
4707Why?
4707Will you arrange it?"
4707Will you arrange these things for me?
4707Will you come now?"
4707Will you forgive me for bringing up this memory that must be precious to you, only that you might more fully understand what I am going to say?
4707Will you forgive me?"
4707Will you promise to stay here, no matter what happens down there, no matter what you may hear?
4707Will you, Gray Goose?"
4707Will you-- no matter what happens-- if I promise-- when I come back-- to kiss you?"
4707Would Father Layonne come again in the morning?
4707Would a sane person wear pumps with heels like those up here?"
4707Would n''t you fight again today for her?"
4707Would you care to have me kiss you?"
4707You are dying?"
4707You do n''t mind a fellow saying all this-- when he is going to pop off soon-- do you?"
4707You have n''t forgotten-- you will never forget-- Ben Tatman?"
4707You repent that you killed John Barkley?"
4707You will not INSIST?
4707You will not be lonely?"
4707You''re not going?"
29642''What''s the use of bein''the yaller dog?'' 29642 About what?"
29642Ah yes-- Hardy, eh? 29642 Ah, Rufus,"she sighed,"when will you ever learn that a woman does not always mean all she says?
29642Ah, is that the gun? 29642 Ah,"observed Swope slyly,"so that''s what''s bitin''you, eh?
29642Ai n''t he hell, though?
29642Ai n''t it, Bill?
29642All right,he said,"but say"--he beckoned her with an inexorable jerk of the head--"what do_ I_ git, now?"
29642Am I wrong?
29642And were your parents with you?
29642And what happened then?
29642And what would you have done if he had?
29642And what''s the bad bunch of news at the end?
29642Any which?
29642Anything else I can do for you?
29642Are those your sheep?
29642Are we goin''to foller some cow''s tail around until they jump us again? 29642 Are you sick?"
29642Are you too good to drink with the likes of us?
29642Are you, Kitty?
29642Aw, go on, would n''t they chase ye?
29642Aw, rats,snapped out Lightfoot at last,"why do n''t you finish up and quit?
29642Been gettin''letters from Miss Lucy all the time, eh?
29642Begin to see light, eh?
29642But Lucy,he said, starting up nervously as the sound of horses''feet came up from the creek bed,"you''ll-- you''ll do all the talking, wo n''t you?"
29642But Rufus-- would that be the truth?
29642But d''ye know what was the matter with me? 29642 But did n''t you give any street and number?"
29642But how could you be lost,he asked again,"and travel so far?
29642But tell me one thing-- there is nothing between you and Rufus, is there?
29642But what?
29642But why do you try to keep them awake? 29642 But why,"she continued, with quickening animus,"why should you seek to avoid me?
29642But would n''t you rather be dead than shut up in that hell- hole down at Yuma?
29642Ca n''t you forgive me, this time?
29642Ca n''t you smell them? 29642 Colorado is an awfully wild country, is n''t it?
29642Cookin''for the outfit?
29642Could n''t you git no appointment?
29642Could n''t you, if I should try to be good and kind? 29642 D''ye call that a white man''s way of entering another man''s house?"
29642D''ye know what he would do if that was me? 29642 D''ye know what''s the matter with him?
29642D''ye see that big butte straight ahead? 29642 D''ye see that hook?"
29642D''ye think I want some little suckin''mamma''s- joy of a diplomat on my hands when it comes to a show- down with them sheepmen?
29642Day before yesterday, eh? 29642 Did I ever hear from''er?"
29642Did I feed''em? 29642 Did I hear you say''move''em''?
29642Did n''t I introduce you to my boss herder and tell him to keep off your range?
29642Did n''t you hear that pan go''bamp''? 29642 Did n''t you never hear about the Winship girls?"
29642Did they go around?
29642Did you ever quote any of my poetry to father?
29642Did you ever see any one like her?
29642Did you have any words with this Juan Alvarez, Mr. Creede, when you saw him in the cañon? 29642 Did you hear that?"
29642Did you move''em, Jeff?
29642Did you?
29642Do n''t I git nothin''to remember you by, little girl?
29642Do n''t have no sheep over there, do they?
29642Do n''t you have the ordering of the supplies?
29642Do n''t you love me, Kitty?
29642Do n''t you remember how eager she was to hear you men talk? 29642 Do n''t you think I know Bill''s dogs yet?"
29642Do they have any real mountain lions here?
29642Do you know what that noise means to me?
29642Do you mean to say that you do all your travelling on these crooked cow paths? 29642 Do you think you can climb it?"
29642Does that appeal to your soul?
29642Does that include them days I was prizin''up hell down in Bender? 29642 Does that inspire you?"
29642Expecting some friends?
29642Father,she said,"do you remember that you once told me you would give me this ranch if I wanted it?
29642Feed pretty good?
29642Feed''em?
29642Fifteen hundred?
29642Fine and dandy,commented Jim,"but how''re you goin''to hold your horses to it?
29642For God''s sake,he said,"what''s that?
29642Gee,he said,"I wonder what''s keepin''Tom?
29642Go ahead and stop it, why do n''t you?
29642Got a match?
29642Got any mail to go out?
29642Hardy-- Hardy-- where have I heard that name before?
29642Have I got to ride a bucking bronco, or kill a sheep- herder or two-- or is it just another case of''move on''?
29642Have you got any money to spare, Rufe?
29642Have you seen him lately?
29642He hain''t shot up any camps,he repeated,"ner packed a gun for three days, hey?
29642He never could git used to them skirts rustlin''round here, could he?
29642Hear that?
29642Hello, Jeff,he said, jotting down a number in his tally book,"goin''by without stoppin'', was ye?
29642Hello, sport,he said, smiling wantonly,"could you take a pore feller in over night?"
29642Hello, sport,he said,"could n''t keep out of it, eh?
29642Here,rasped out Jim Swope, spurring his horse in between them,"what are you fellers tryin''to do?
29642Hey, what''s all that shootin''goin''on over there?
29642How about it?
29642How about that upper range?
29642How about your foreman?
29642How are you coming?
29642How can I turn''em back?
29642How do you figure that out?
29642How long have you been in these parts? 29642 How''d the old horn work?"
29642How''d you like to have the job of crossing a hundred thousand_ borregos_ and half of''em with lambs, when the_ rio_ was on a bender? 29642 How''s that for a horse?"
29642How''s that for high?
29642How''s that for high?
29642How''s that, Miss Bunnair? 29642 How''s that?"
29642How''s that?
29642How''s that?
29642How''s the feed up your way?
29642How''s things down your way-- water holdin''out? 29642 How''s this for a mountain lion?"
29642How''s tricks?
29642Huh?
29642Huh?
29642I bummed around in town there for two weeks, hatin''myself and makin''faces at a passel of ornery sheepmen, and what do I git for my trouble? 29642 I never told you much about my father, did I?"
29642I suppose you were armed?
29642I suppose you wonder what I''m doing down here,he said at last,"if I was so stuck on the Concho country?
29642I wanner ask you,he continued, with drunken gravity,"on the squar'', now, did you ever drink?"
29642I''m afraid there has n''t been much law up here in the past, has there?
29642Is it all right?
29642Is it good?
29642Is it not so?
29642Is my garden such a poor place,he inquired gravely,"that you must leave it the moment we have come?
29642Is n''t it time we returned?
29642Is n''t that always the woman''s part?
29642Is that Dago talk, or is he jest mixed in his mind? 29642 Is that all?"
29642Is there nothing else that counts, Rufus, in all this broad land? 29642 It''s Bill Johnson, is n''t it?"
29642Jasp and all?
29642Jeff,said Hardy quietly,"how much would you give to get a letter from Sallie?"
29642Jim,he said, turning to one of the Clark boys,"do you want a little excitement to- morrow?
29642Jumped?
29642Kin I speak with you a minute outside?
29642Kinder high- headed, ai n''t he?
29642Kitty?
29642Listen, Lucy,he cried,"I will not go unless you tell me-- and now may I go?"
29642Matter with what?
29642May I have a few words with you on a matter of business, Rufus?
29642Miss Ware,he said politely,"what do you expect of this here supe?
29642Mr. Creede is a noble kind of a man, is n''t he?
29642My God, boy,he said,"you''re takin''big chances, for a family man-- but say, what did I tell you about sheepmen?"
29642My sheep has got to eat, hain''t they?
29642Nary one, eh?
29642No? 29642 No?
29642No? 29642 No?
29642No? 29642 No?
29642No? 29642 No?
29642No?
29642No?
29642Notice anything funny over on that ridge?
29642Now you pile onto that mule of yours and pull your freight, will you?
29642Now, what do you think it was that put me on the bum?
29642Oh, I do n''t, hey?
29642Oh, Mr. Lightfoot,exclaimed Kitty,"how could you?
29642Oh, Rufus,cried Kitty, turning upon him angrily,"are n''t you ashamed?
29642Oh, Rufus,cried Lucy,"am I really-- your best friend?"
29642Oh, Rufus,she cried,"why did n''t you send it to me?"
29642Oh, Rufus,she cried,"why do n''t you live up here always instead of wasting your life in that awful struggle with the sheep?
29642Oh, did you want to git somethin''to eat?
29642Oh, he hain''t, hey?
29642Oh, is n''t he with you this trip?
29642Oh, is that one of your cowboy words? 29642 Oh, jest picked you up, hey?
29642Oh, wo n''t you take me, too?
29642Oh, you do n''t, eh?
29642Oh, you might, hey?
29642Oh, you would, would you? 29642 Oh,"cried Lucy,"then you-- do you mean to turn them back?"
29642Poker game?
29642Pretty swell rooms, ai n''t they? 29642 Rufe,"he said quietly,"d''ye remember that time when I picked you to be boss sheep- wrangler, down at Bender?
29642Rufus,she cried, turning upon him quickly,"_ do_ you love me?
29642Rufus,she said,"what is it you are always listening for?
29642Sallie Winship?
29642Same thing, eh? 29642 Say, Jeff,"he called, as Creede came in from the pasture,"have you got any stamps?"
29642Say, Rufe,he said, at last,"ai n''t you been holdin''out on me a little?"
29642Say, let up on that, will you?
29642Say, partner,he began, his big mountain voice tamed down to a masterful calm,"wo n''t you come over and have something with us?"
29642Say, she''s all right, ai n''t she?
29642Say, this is great, is n''t it?
29642Say,exclaimed Creede, his eyes beginning to burn,"d''ye notice how them sheep are travellin''?
29642Say,he said, at last,"do me a favor, will ye, Rufe?"
29642Say,he said, his voice breaking a little,"d''ye ever hear anything from Miss Bonnair?"
29642Say,he said, turning to the boss,"what you carryin''that cow''s horn for?"
29642Say,he said,"I want to ask you a question-- are you any relation to the Captain Hardy that I served with over at Fort Apache?
29642Shall we go?
29642She''ll be down bimeby, though, wo n''t she?
29642Sheep-- where?
29642Sheep?
29642Sheeped out? 29642 Sorry I ai n''t goin''to see more of you,"he observed, slipping his six- shooter into his shaps,"but--""What, you are n''t_ going_?"
29642Suits me,replied Jim,"but say, what''s the matter with roundin''up some of them horses and sendin''''em in ahead?
29642Sure,agreed Creede,"but suppose one of them big- headed Chihuahua Mexicans should happen to shoot you?"
29642Swim?
29642Tell her?
29642Tell me, Rufus,she said, one day when her father was inspecting the upper range with Creede,"what is it that made you so sad?
29642That''s good,said Hardy,"but tell me-- what has been your custom in the past?
29642That''s right,admitted Hardy,"but how''d you know?"
29642The killin''?
29642Then why does Jim Swope bring his bands south every Fall? 29642 Then?"
29642They?
29642True?
29642Uh, you was surprised, was ye?
29642Um,said Creede,"they was_ all_ blowin'', hey?
29642Um- huh,he grunted,"''Sonnets from the Portegees,''eh?
29642W''y what''s the matter with you?
29642Waal, how much ye think he''ll weigh?
29642Want some jerky, Rufe?
29642Want to go over and get acquainted?
29642Well, I started out to show you the country, did n''t I? 29642 Well, am I wrong?"
29642Well, did you have any trouble of any kind with this deceased Mexican, Mr. Creede? 29642 Well, f''r Gawd''s sake,"exclaimed Black Tex at last, lowering his gun in a pet,"do n''t I git_ no_ satisfaction-- what''s your_ i_-dee?"
29642Well, how about it?
29642Well, how about the cowmen? 29642 Well, how are things going up on the range?"
29642Well, just exactly what are you talking about, Rufus?
29642Well, just what words passed between you? 29642 Well, now, what ye goin''to do?"
29642Well, say,broke in Ben Reavis impatiently,"where do us fellers come in on this play?
29642Well, supposen I dropped a stick of dynamite under you,burst out Swope hoarsely,"would you jump?
29642Well, we''ve had a pretty good time together down here, hain''t we?
29642Well, what call did he have to jump on me like that?
29642Well, what kin I do about it?
29642Well, what''s the matter with usin''our tame horses for a hold- up herd and then sendin''the whole bunch through together? 29642 Well, where''s the horse that can beat me?"
29642Well, who the hell air ye cookin''fer then?
29642Well, you woke up, did you?
29642Well,commented Hardy,"that may be good Scripture, but what about my cows?
29642Well,he demanded in masterful tones,"what ye goin''to do about it?"
29642Well,he remarked, throwing out a hand,"there''s home-- how do you like it?"
29642Well,he replied evasively,"I do n''t know how it would be up where you come from, but that''s kind of a leadin''question, ai n''t it?"
29642Well,_ say_ something, ca n''t you?
29642Well-- er-- do you think they intend to invade our upper range this year?
29642Well?
29642Well?
29642Were you lost?
29642Whar''d you drop down from?
29642What can I do for you?
29642What can I do for you?
29642What d''ye mean by interferin''with my cat?
29642What d''ye mean?
29642What did I do then?
29642What did the old judge say?
29642What did you say you was doin''over there?
29642What do you know about it?
29642What do you want to tell Miss Bonnair?
29642What guarantee do I get,he demanded sharply,"that if I lick you in a fair fight the sheep will go around?"
29642What happened then?
29642What have you been doing to yourself in these two years?
29642What in the world are you girls waiting for?
29642What is it to you?
29642What is it you want, Rufus?
29642What is it?
29642What made you ask?
29642What ye goin''down there for?
29642What ye goin''to do about it?
29642What ye got there?
29642What you goin''to do, Rufe?
29642What''d I tell ye?
29642What''re you doing in these parts?
29642What''s bitin''you?
29642What''s that you say you''ve noticed?
29642What''s that?
29642What''s the deal?
29642What''s the matter with you, anyway?
29642What''s the matter?
29642What''s the matter?
29642What''s the matter?
29642What''s your bloody hurry? 29642 What-- in-- hell-- do you mean?"
29642What-- the-- hell-- is the matter with this place?
29642What-- you wo n''t, eh? 29642 What?
29642What?
29642What?
29642What_ are_ you children chattering about in there?
29642What_ are_ you quoting?
29642Where are they?
29642Where do we go now?
29642Where''d you come from?
29642Where''d you git''i m?
29642Where''s Miss Bunnair?
29642Where''s my gun?
29642Where''s that dastard, Jeff Creede?
29642Where''ve you been all the time?
29642Which do you think is more important?
29642Who am I, to judge?
29642Who am I?
29642Who could have shot him-- away over in Hell''s Hip Pocket?
29642Who did?
29642Who is it?
29642Who is this, anyway?
29642Who th''hell is this, now? 29642 Who''re you talkin''about?"
29642Who''re you?
29642Who-- me?
29642Who? 29642 Whose sheep are those?"
29642Whose sheep were they?
29642Why ca n''t they give us a chanst, then? 29642 Why do n''t you bet yearlings?
29642Why do n''t you come down and fight me like a man?
29642Why no; why should I be watching for her?
29642Why, do n''t you remember what he said when he introduced me to you, down in Moroni? 29642 Why, how did they get up there?
29642Why, how did you come here?
29642Why, in what way?
29642Why, to buy a stamp, of course,replied Hardy,"it''s only forty miles, is n''t it?"
29642Why, what''s the matter with this country? 29642 Why, what''s the matter?"
29642Why-- what was the matter?
29642Why-- what?
29642Why?
29642Why?
29642Will he take me with him? 29642 Will it be as bad this year?"
29642Will-- will that make much difference?
29642Wo n''t drink, eh? 29642 Wo n''t it interfere with your bringing in supplies?"
29642Wo n''t you let me have it for a minute?
29642Wo n''t you sit down, then?
29642Wo n''t you sit down?
29642Would n''t you like to bring your poems with you?
29642Would you have shot him with that big pistol?
29642Would you like to see him?
29642Yes, I knew it-- and is n''t he just perfectly grand on that big horse? 29642 Yes, but, Jefferson,"protested the judge, opening up his eyes,"what will our cattle feed upon then?"
29642Yes,said Kitty,"but-- shall we go without saying good- bye?"
29642Yes,_ what_?
29642Yes-- Rufus?
29642Yes? 29642 Yes?"
29642Yes?
29642You are Mr. Thomas, are n''t you?
29642You do not smoke? 29642 You might, he- ey?
29642You noticed it when I hit you before, did n''t you?
29642You remember that Jim Swope that I introduced you to down on the desert? 29642 You think you''re what?"
29642You_ will_ stand up there and laugh at me, will you?
29642Yourn?
29642_ Mira_,exclaimed the old man,"are they not_ bravo_?
29642_ Muy bien_,said the overbearing Grande,"and where is your_ padron_?"
29642_ No_--is that straight?
29642Afraid?
29642Ah, Lucy, how can your father talk of waiting when it means as much as that?"
29642Ai n''t interested in the cattle, are you?
29642Ai n''t they happy, though?
29642And all the decent cowmen were scared of her, so who was naturally indicated and elected but Jefferson D. Creede?
29642And did you ever have any adventures with bears?"
29642And just what was you doin''over there at the time?"
29642And now may I go?"
29642And rob her of all her pleasure?"
29642And say, Mr. Smart Alec, I want that gun, too, see?"
29642And so you''re the new superintendent down at the Dos S, eh?
29642And what else was they doin''?"
29642And what word shall I take back to the boss, then?"
29642And what would make the sheep go around?
29642And where in all the world would he find a more faithful friend than Lucy Ware?
29642And where,"he inquired, with the shrewd glance of a country lawyer,"and where did you learn, then, this excellent Spanish which you speak?"
29642And why?
29642And wo n''t I_ ever_ see you any more?"
29642Any idee what it is?"
29642Any trouble of any kind?"
29642Anything can happen in love; and who was there more capable of winning a romantic woman''s regard than good- natured, impulsive, domineering Jeff?
29642Are we goin''to leave Rufe here, to patrol a hundred miles of range lone- handed?
29642Are ye goin''along, Rufe?"
29642Aw, that''s no good-- what''s the matter with Rufe?
29642But I''d jest like to ask you a question, since you''re so smart; how come all us sheepmen kept off your upper range this year?"
29642But hell, what''s the use?"
29642But how long since I''ve been takin''orders off of you?"
29642But if I am with him I can hold him back-- will you let me go?"
29642But if you will ride out with me when it is not too hot, I-- it-- well, you''ll go to- morrow, wo n''t you?"
29642But listen-- what was that?"
29642But mebby you''d like a bite to eat before we git down to business?"
29642But now the question is: What ye goin''to do about it?"
29642But really, Rufus, what can any one hope to do with Kitty?
29642But say, Rufe, why do n''t you come and ride with the boys once in a while?
29642But say,"he continued,"d''ye notice anything funny up on that cliff?
29642But say,"he continued,"d''ye think it''s as hot as this down in hell?
29642But tell me, have you had any trouble with the sheepmen?"
29642But the Americanos?
29642But then, what were a few head of cows compared to-- well, what was it, anyway?
29642But wait, I have a cigarro which the storekeeper gave me when I-- No?
29642But what in the world has struck''em?"
29642But what think you of our country?
29642But what''s the difference?"
29642But what''s the scheme?"
29642But what, reasoned the cautious ones, were a few hundred head of cows anyhow, in a losing fight against the law itself?
29642But-- well, I guess the habit struck in-- so if I do n''t always thank you, or tell you things, you will understand, wo n''t you?
29642But--""But what?"
29642But_ that_ do n''t do you any good either, does it?"
29642Ca n''t you forgive me, Kitty?"
29642Ca n''t you give over the fight for my sake?
29642Ca n''t you hear them bleating down there?"
29642Ca n''t you see how it is?
29642Can you ride pretty well?"
29642Chuck''em on my desk, will ye?"
29642Come on, Rufe-- d''ye want to find them sheep in the corral when you go back to Hidden Water?"
29642Could it mean-- what else could it mean?
29642Creede?"
29642Creede?"
29642Creede?"
29642Creede?"
29642Creede?"
29642D''ye hear that, now?
29642D''ye see how he keeps away from me?
29642D''ye see that big mesa down there?"
29642D''ye see that big white- faced steer?"
29642D''ye think he could fool me all that time?
29642D''yer know what I came over hyar fer?"
29642Did n''t I see two ladies''saddles out in the wagon?"
29642Did n''t git back in time to join in, did ye?
29642Did n''t you hear that gun go off?
29642Did n''t you know that?"
29642Did n''t you never hear why they call this Hidden Water?"
29642Did n''t you notice how pale we looked?"
29642Did them dam''coyotes try to git you while I was gone?"
29642Did ye ever live all alone out on a ranch for a month or so?
29642Did you ever hear of a sheepman jumpin''on a cowboy?
29642Did you notice that plain between Bender and the river?
29642Did you ride him all the way here?"
29642Do n''t you know better than to trust a sheepman?"
29642Do n''t you think Mr. Lightfoot''s story is true?"
29642Do n''t you think you could kind of look after yourself while I''m gone?
29642Do n''t you think you could persuade Rufus to stay?
29642Do n''t you understand?
29642Do n''t you want to see the eggs?
29642Do you know what I am thinking of doing?"
29642Do you know what Pablo Moreno is doin''?
29642Do you realize how far I have come to see your poems and hear you talk the way you used to talk?
29642Ever investigate the sheep business?
29642For this one time he had turned the stream aside and the tall grass still waved upon the upper range; but the next time, or the next-- what then?
29642Funny how much you can pick up from some of these Indians and Mexicans that ca n''t write their own names, is n''t it?"
29642Goodness me, where is my horse?
29642Got any more tricks?"
29642H''m, how long do you figure on holding down that job?"
29642Hardy?"
29642Has anything dreadful happened?
29642Have a smoke?
29642Have n''t you been in the habit of feeding them when they came in?"
29642Have n''t you never seen it?
29642Have you been writing any lately?"
29642Have you forgotten all that I have risked for the friendship I held so dear?
29642Have you forgotten all that I told you in the balcony?
29642He said that was all right, did he?
29642He''s the boy I''m lookin''for, but you see how he dodges me?
29642How do things look up your way?"
29642How does it feel to be Priscilla?"
29642How does it look to you?"
29642How does that strike you?"
29642How does the country look to you?"
29642How far is it, now, over that hill to the ranch?"
29642How far is it?"
29642How is Miss Lucy succeeding with her art-- is she still working at the Institute?"
29642How long since they went away?"
29642How would you like to be a soldier''s wife?"
29642How''d Judge Ware come to get a- hold of you?"
29642How''d you git along with Jasp?"
29642How_ do_ you keep yours clean?"
29642I am sorry you ca n''t agree-- isn''t there something you could do to make him happier?"
29642I am--""Er--_what_?"
29642I asked you if you have been doing any_ writing_ lately-- you promised to send me some poems, do n''t you remember?
29642I had to come down to take care of father, you know, and-- aren''t you glad to see us, Rufus?"
29642I have never kissed any one since my mother died-- could-- could you kiss me first?"
29642I reckon that''s where you git your sportin''blood, ai n''t it?"
29642I''m sorry for them lily- white hands of yourn, pardner, but which place would you like to work at?"
29642If your name is Jim you''re James, John you''re Jonathan, Jeff you''re Jefferson Davis-- but say, ai n''t they any f''r short to your name?
29642In fact-- well, say, do n''t I git jest one kiss?"
29642Is he the judge and jury in this matter, or is he just a plain buttinsky?"
29642Is it a bargain?
29642Is it a go?
29642Is it a go?"
29642Is it a go?"
29642Is it a go?"
29642Is it not beautiful?"
29642Is it too much for a man to go away when he is told?"
29642Is it very beautiful up there?"
29642Is it-- Kitty?"
29642Is n''t it enough that I should come clear down here to see you?
29642Is n''t that straight?"
29642Is that the way to come onto another man''s range?
29642Is that the way you talk to a man who has done his best to be your friend?"
29642Is that too much for a friend to ask?
29642It is n''t a matter of money, is it, Jefferson?
29642It''s for me, ai n''t it?
29642Let me see-- um-- would seventy- five dollars a month seem a reasonable figure?
29642Listen, Rufus,"she pleaded, as he drew away,"have I ever refused you anything?
29642Look at his old man--_he_ fought-- and where is he now?
29642Look at that now, will you?"
29642Louis?"
29642Louis?"
29642Me?"
29642Mr. Creede, if you were a woman and owned the Dos S outfit, what would you do about the sheep?"
29642Must friendship, love, companionship, all go down before cattle and sheep?
29642No smoke nothing?
29642No?
29642No?
29642No?
29642Notice them lace curtains?
29642Now I want to ask you one more question: Do you deny my right to pass through this range on my way to the Sierra Blancas?
29642Now I''d like to ask you whether in your opinion a cowman has got a right to live?"
29642Now how about it, officer; how much have I got to take off this dam''sheep puller before I git the right to talk back?
29642Now how about it-- are you going to sheep us out next Fall or are you going to give us a chance?"
29642Now what''s the matter with you, Mr. Creede, and what can I do for you?"
29642Now, Boy, I like you-- will you shake hands on that?"
29642Now, if I had taken a drink with you a minute ago I''d be considered a cheap sport if I did n''t treat back, would n''t I?
29642Of course, if there comes a drought I''ll lose half of''em, but did you ever sit down and figure out a hundred per cent a year?
29642Officer?"
29642Oh, it does, eh?
29642Oh, where is your father?"
29642Out looking for cattle?"
29642Perfectly clear, eh?
29642Say, it''s hell to be in love, ai n''t it?"
29642Say, lemme sleep, will ye?"
29642Say, she''s all right, ai n''t she?"
29642Say, you''re goin''up the river, ai n''t ye?
29642Say,"he said, changing the subject abruptly,"how many hundred thousand sheep d''ye think I saw, comin''up from Bender?
29642Say,"he said, turning confidentially in his saddle,"if it''s none of my business you can say so, but what did you do to that bit?"
29642See any sheep tracks?"
29642Should a man take advantage of his friend''s innocence to deprive him of that for which they both strove?
29642Since when did you call a feud on them?"
29642So you ai n''t no kin to the judge and''ve got no int''rest in the cattle, either, eh?
29642Sure, Mr. Lightfoot is our best story- teller; and he''s had some mighty excitin''times up there in them parts, hain''t you, Bill?"
29642Swope?"
29642Swope?"
29642Take flour, for instance-- what does that cost you?"
29642Tell me-- is it-- are you watching for Kitty?"
29642Tell the old man that, will you?"
29642That she was capable of such an adventure he had never dreamed-- and yet-- and yet-- where was there a more masterful man than Jeff?
29642That''s quite a jag of money, eh?
29642The Navajos do n''t move their sheep south, do they?
29642Then what in hell was you doin''?"
29642There''s some sure- enough wild horses too, over on the Peaks, that belong to any man that can git his rope onto''em-- how would that strike you?
29642They are many and the cowmen are few; they are rich and we are very poor; how then can a few men whip many, and those armed with the best?
29642Three hundred and_ fifteen_?
29642To- morrow I shall be off again, so how can I arrange a meeting?"
29642Two months, eh?
29642Waal, Hardy, I like y''r face-- you look honest-- but I wanner ask you''nuther question-- why do n''t you drink now, then?"
29642Want to pet him?
29642Was it worthy of any return?
29642Was it, after all, a thing to be held so jealously to his heart, gnawing out his vitals and robbing him of his humanity?
29642Well, look at Jeff Creede--_he_ fought-- and what''s he got to show for it?
29642Well, then, will ye abide by the law and give us our legal rights or will ye fight like a dam''fool and git sent to Yuma for your pains?
29642Well, what I want to know is this: Does Einstein sell you grub that much cheaper?
29642Whar''s Jeff and the boys?"
29642What I want to know is this-- will you fight?"
29642What calibre is it?"
29642What could be said for a love which made a man so pitiless?
29642What d''ye say, Ben?"
29642What do you know about it, you woolies, punchin''cows down here in the rocks and cactus?
29642What do you want to do-- clean house?"
29642What does it mean-- woodpecker?"
29642What happened then?"
29642What kind of a country is it up there in Apache County, where you keep your sheep all Summer?"
29642What kind of a crime is that, anyway-- to drive sheep off the public range?
29642What kind of a dam''fool would I be to fight over it?"
29642What kind of a foreman would it be who would turn her over to a hireling or intrust her innocent mind to a depraved individual like Bill Lightfoot?
29642What need was there for words?
29642What was a petty revenge upon some low- browed Mexican to the years of imprisonment in Yuma which might follow?
29642What were a bunch of cowboys, armed with six- shooters, to half a hundred sheepmen armed with repeating rifles and automatic revolvers?
29642What were a few sheep carcasses up on the high mesa?
29642What would not Chico and Grande do to them, now that they were like bees robbed of their long- hoarded honey, who have nothing left but their stings?
29642What ye goin''to do about it?"
29642What''s that you say, Bill?"
29642What''s the chance to git a bite of that bymeby?"
29642What''s the matter with it?"
29642What''s the matter-- have you got enough?"
29642What''s the matter?"
29642What''s the use of wasting your time and energy trying to hold that bunch of half- starved cows together?
29642What''s the use of your monkeying along up there on a job that is sure to play out, when you can go into a better business?
29642What''s this here letter?"
29642What_ you_ going to do now, Rufe?"
29642When you want to buy a postage stamp you come down here to Moroni, do n''t you?
29642Where''s your father, and Kitty?"
29642Which way was them sheep travellin''?"
29642Who but Lucy could have left the little book of poems, or treasured a flower so long to give it back at parting?
29642Why do n''t you sass Ensign or Pete a while?"
29642Why do n''t you take a short cut?"
29642Why, how could that happen?
29642Why, what does he know about Arizona?"
29642Why, where have you been for this last year and more?
29642Why?
29642Will you give me the ranch if I get Rufus to stay?
29642Will you go me?
29642Will you go out with me every day?
29642Will you stand for Reddy?
29642Wo n''t you come in and have the last word?"
29642Wo n''t you sing it again, Mr. Lightfoot?
29642Would n''t you like to know how your father is?"
29642Would you like to see a poem I wrote up there?
29642Yet what was there for a man to do but take care of his own and wait?
29642You are a free man now, you know, and if there''s any worrying to be done it''s my funeral-- isn''t it?"
29642You do n''t think you can stand off the whole Sheepmen''s Protective Association, do you?
29642You do n''t?
29642You see that bluff back of the house down there?
29642You_ eat_, do n''t you?
29642Your father fought the Apaches and you played with the little Mexican boys, no?
29642Your friend Creede gets along with sheepmen like a house afire, do n''t he?
29642_ Que bueno_, who would not be made a liar for rain?
29642challenged Swope, after waiting for his answer,"ai n''t that straight?"
29642cried Kitty, in a hushed voice,"a mountain lion?"
29642cried Lucy eagerly,"would you go?
29642echoed Hardy,"did you keep''em there all Winter?"
29642ejaculated the cowboy, with enthusiasm,"same as we call''em Reddy now, eh?
29642exclaimed Hardy, astounded,"why-- what in the world is it about?"
29642exclaimed Judge Ware, astounded at the suggestion,"you do n''t mean to say that you are preparing to go out of business?
29642exclaimed Kitty, disappointed,"and did n''t you ever shoot_ anybody_?"
29642exclaimed the young lady,"do you mean to say you never received_ any_ of my letters?"
29642grunted Creede, turning to his belated dinner,"what d''ye make of that, Rufe?"
29642he asked,"for a man to please his father or his best friend?"
29642he called, and then, as Judge Ware whirled about, he inquired, with well- feigned surprise:"Where''d you drop down from?"
29642he cried, shaking his fist at the bluffs,"why do n''t you come out into the open like men?"
29642he demanded aggrieved,"ai n''t anybody but you got any rights and privileges around here?
29642he murmured, musingly,"to ask for all the world?"
29642muttered the sheepman, taken aback by this sudden burst of temper,"you''re a hot- headed boy, ai n''t you?"
29642she cried, carried away for a moment,"do they grow down here?"
29642she cried, suddenly holding out her hands,"ca n''t you understand?
29642she cried,"what will the mother- bird think?
29642shouted Johnson, grabbing the cowboy''s bridle,"who''s doin''this, anyhow?"
36134''Evening, Mr. Mosby; what''s the chance for a little supper?
36134''How comes yore father to have so many houses?'' 36134 ''How did it happen?''
36134A girl?
36134Ah, pardon me,began Mr. Bowles, with perhaps a trace of condescension in his voice;"can you tell me where I will find the cook?"
36134Ah-- what are the duties of a flunky?
36134Ai n''t that so, mister?
36134Ai n''t that so, stranger?
36134Ai n''t these Texicans the ignorantest bunch? 36134 Ai n''t you got no bed, stranger?"
36134And are you really on your way to Arizona, Miss Lee?
36134And never come back?
36134And so these boys had to go on a drunk and get fired, did they? 36134 And the Indians?"
36134And what''s the use, anyhow?
36134And you think you can ride any horse I''ve got, eh?
36134And you, Jack?
36134Are there many bears up there?
36134Are you going out on this train?
36134Are you hurt bad, Jack?
36134Aw, Mr. Bowles,cried Dixie reproachfully,"are you trying to side- step me on this?"
36134Aw, say,broke in Brigham,"you''re givin''me a fill, ai n''t you?"
36134Aw, what do_ you_ know about it?
36134Baggage?
36134Beg pahdon?
36134Beg pardon?
36134Bowles,said Henry Lee, as he lingered by the fire,"can you drive a team?"
36134Bowles?
36134Break down the fence?
36134Brig,he said,"I''m going to quit this accursed ranch-- would you mind catching my private horse?"
36134Brig,he said,"what in the world do you think I''ve done?"
36134Bunch of twos, eh?
36134But have you really heard from New York?
36134But how about me?
36134But how about us?
36134But how can he get it back?
36134But how can that feller hit the water every time?
36134Can you ride?
36134D''ye think I want to_ box_ with you? 36134 D''ye think you could whip''i m?"
36134D''ye want''em put in the sample room?
36134Did n''t he come into camp and tell all about it? 36134 Did the ground rise up and hit you?"
36134Did you ever ride any bad horses?
36134Did you hear that, Brigham?
36134Dixie was with her all last winter-- I thought perhaps you might have met her there?
36134Do n''t you remember, I told you about it on the train?
36134Do you need that blinder on his eyes?
36134Do you think I can ride? 36134 Do you think you can ride?
36134Drop yore dishrag?
36134Er-- where do you eat?
36134Ever drive a wild team?
36134Excuse me,he said,"but is there any other place nearby where I could buy a little food?"
36134Feet hurt''i m?
36134Friend,he said,"if it''s none of my business, of course you''ll let me know, but you''ve been around a little, have n''t you?
36134Goin''out to- day?
36134Got any more divin''stories?
36134He never talked about no gal, and I''ll whip the man that says so-- are you bad hurt, pardner?
36134Hey, fellers, who wants the first guard to- night?
36134Him ride Dunbar? 36134 How about that hundred- foot pole?"
36134How can I help it if the boys get foolish?
36134How deep was that pool?
36134How do I know?
36134How do you know he wo n''t shoot?
36134How far West are you going?
36134How far is it?
36134How high did you say that platform was?
36134How is your knee now?
36134How many?
36134How''s your head?
36134Howd- do, boys?
36134Huh?
36134Hunting and trapping, and all that?
36134I always knew you were a gentleman, and-- say, what''s the matter with that pack?
36134I do n''t know about that-- but tell me this, stranger: How does the man git that hawse to climb up there and take the jump? 36134 I do n''t want to get you killed, so what''s the use of talking?
36134I never did have anything to be ashamed of, but-- do you know who I am?
36134I see you are feeling better,he said, sitting down off to one side, and decorously regarding his wet hat,"so how did it happen?"
36134I''m the boss now, Cusi; what can I do fer you?
36134I''ve driven spirited horses, such as we have in the East, but----"Think you could drive the grays to Chula Vista and back?
36134If I knowed how that A- rab did that rope- work, d''ye think I''d be punchin''cows? 36134 If he takes you back, are you going to run it over these other hands and make a lot of trouble?"
36134Is it as easy as that? 36134 Is there any hotel near?
36134Kin we beat it?
36134Listen to the boy talk, will you? 36134 Look at them shaps, will you?
36134Lovely weather we''ve been having, is n''t it?
36134Me? 36134 Miss Lee?"
36134Mr. Bowles,she had said,"who are you, anyway?"
36134Mr. Bowles,she said, in measured tones,"who are you, anyway?"
36134Now, really, Miss Lee,he began,"why quibble over the accident of a name?
36134Now, you see?
36134Now,he announced, when the horse was ready,"shall I help you while you mount?"
36134Of course, I knew that you were drawing the long bow this evening-- but how did you get all this information if you''ve never been there?
36134Of course,he said at length,"your daughter is very attractive----""Oh, do you think so?"
36134Oh, Bill? 36134 Oh, Christabel?
36134Oh, I cain''t, cain''t I?
36134Oh, him?
36134Oh, is n''t your name Bowles?
36134Oh, pardon me,he exclaimed, recovering himself with a sudden access of manner;"I was talking to myself, do n''t you know?
36134Oh, that?
36134Oh, what''s the use of talking?
36134Oh, will you?
36134Oh, you have, have you?
36134Oh, you''re boss now, are you?
36134Oh, you''re still keeping track of me, are you?
36134Oh,he cried enthusiastically,"is that the horse you mean?
36134Perhaps there will be an opening for me later?
36134Pretty fancy, eh?
36134Ridin''''em again, are you, Brigham?
36134Sample room?
36134Say, Brig,he said, trying as far as possible to speak in the new vernacular,"I''ve always been friendly to you, have n''t I?
36134Say, stranger,he said, still calling him by that cold name which marked him as a man apart,"did you see Dixie Lee back in New York last winter?"
36134Say, what do you take me for?
36134Say, where''s that friend of mine-- that Coney Island feller?
36134Say, who is that?
36134Say, you fellers shut up, will you?
36134Say, you''re getting to be a regular cowboy now, ai n''t you? 36134 Say, you''re pretty smart, are n''t you, Brig?"
36134Say,he said, as he beckoned Bowles to a corner of the corral,"what d''ye think Mrs. Lee sprung on me when I went around fer my pay?
36134See that brown over there?
36134So you want some more, hey? 36134 So you''re running away to be a cowboy, eh?
36134So_ you''ve_ got an aunt, too, eh? 36134 Stranger,"she said, speaking with well- simulated hesitation,"I did n''t quite catch your name down at the ranch-- isn''t this letter for you?"
36134Ten foot? 36134 The other what?"
36134The sample room?
36134Then what did you see the boss fer? 36134 Then you mean,"began Bowles hopefully,"if I''d struck him this morning he would n''t have used his gun?"
36134They do n''t put one over on you very often, do they?
36134Too much fer you, eh?
36134W''y, what''s the matter?
36134W''y, you ignorant devil, how could the feller set on the weight when it was only throwed up in the air?
36134Want to say good- by?
36134Watching''em pick the flowers?
36134Well, did he shore enough do that, or was you jest stringin''''em?
36134Well, keep still, ca n''t ye?
36134Well, say,she said, getting up from the cook''s private seat,"I came down to hunt for eggs-- who wants to help me?"
36134Well, then, what do you want to get so supercilious for?
36134Well, then, why do n''t you send some one out to relieve thet hawse wrangler? 36134 Well, well, how''re you comin''?
36134Well, well,said Dixie Lee, looking him between the eyes;"so your name is Bowles, eh?
36134Well, what about being my knight?
36134Well, what is it?
36134Well, what is your name, then?
36134Well, what then?
36134Well, what''s the matter with it?
36134Well, what''s the matter with that divin''story of mine?
36134Well, what''s the matter with your face then?
36134Well, what''s the matter?
36134Well, what''s the matter?
36134Well, where is she?
36134Well, who''s goin''to play dead?
36134Well, who''s goin''to relieve us?
36134Well,he broke in sharply,"it''s gittin''dark-- who''s goin''to relieve that horse wrangler?
36134Well,he demanded roughly,"what''s the joke?"
36134Well,he said, as they rode back together from the circle,"he''s warned you out of camp-- what ye goin''to do about it?"
36134Well,she said,"I guess it is n''t any of my business,_ is_ it?
36134Whar''s Henry Lee?
36134Whar''s that feller that refused a drink this evenin''?
36134What about it?
36134What breed of hawse was that?
36134What can I do for you?
36134What d''ye think-- would he pile''em up a hundred foot high? 36134 What did you say yore name was?"
36134What do you want to do?
36134What does he carry that pistol for, then?
36134What does she look like, Brig?
36134What in the world do you mean?
36134What is it you have heard-- and what would you like to know?
36134What kind of difficulties?
36134What was it?
36134What ye goin''to do, Brig,he inquired;"quit?"
36134What ye got?
36134What you claim?
36134What you got there?
36134What''s all this about? 36134 What''s it like?"
36134What''s that you say?
36134What''s the matter with aigs?
36134What''s the matter with that?
36134What''s the matter with the dog fight?
36134What''s the matter with you fellers?
36134What''s the matter with you-- ain''t you got no manners? 36134 What''s the matter, Gus?"
36134What''s the matter?
36134What''s the matter?
36134What''s the use of talking about it? 36134 What''s the use of workin'', anyway?"
36134What''s this I hear?
36134What, from his girl? 36134 What-- Dunbar?"
36134Whatever you have heard,he said at last,"I have nothing to be ashamed of-- would you like me to get you some water?"
36134Where does that old trapper, Bill Jump, live? 36134 Where to?
36134Where''d you come from?
36134Where''s Brig?
36134Where''s that feller that refused a drink this evenin''?
36134Who called you in on this, Hardy Atkins?
36134Who let those horses get away?
36134Who''s that feller?
36134Who-- Christabel?
36134Who-- him?
36134Who-- me?
36134Who-- me?
36134Why do n''t you play yore hand out instead of makin''a grab?
36134Why do you ask?
36134Why not Mrs. Bowles straight? 36134 Why should he?"
36134Why, Mr. Bowles, have you been around the Bat Wing for two months and failed to note who was boss? 36134 Why, it seems so,"admitted Bowles;"but how do you know he will?"
36134Why, no-- why should I?
36134Why, what can I do?
36134Why, what do you mean, Miss Lee?
36134Why, what do you mean? 36134 Why, what''s the matter with Brig?
36134Why, what''s the matter?
36134Why, what''s the matter?
36134Why-- er-- what do you mean?
36134Why-- why, is n''t this remarkable, Miss Lee? 36134 Will they punish you for running away?"
36134Will you call Hardy to take my place?
36134Will you take a dare?
36134Wo n''t you take my chair?
36134Wonder how she come to be down here?
36134Would you mind telling me where you got that absurd idea of the three Hassan brothers?
36134Yes?
36134You ai n''t goin''back on me, are you, Dix?
36134You do n''t seem to care whether I go or not?
36134You do n''t think I''ll let you ride that horse, do you?
36134You mean stories about outlaws and Indians?
36134You think she would marry him?
36134You think you''re smart, do n''t you?
36134You will talk about my gal, will ye?
36134You''re afraid to tell your own name, and I''m----"Yes?
36134You''re brave when a man ai n''t lookin'', ai n''t ye? 36134 You''re mighty quick to hit a man when he ai n''t lookin''--why do n''t you take a man of yore size now and hit me?"
36134''Does he rent''em?''
36134Ai n''t that so, boys?"
36134Ai n''t that so, boys?"
36134Ai n''t that so, pardner?"
36134Ai n''t that the craziest place you ever see?
36134Am I goin''to leave her fer two years and that dastard a- hangin''around?
36134And I helped you, too, did n''t I?"
36134And do you care for it, too?"
36134And her secret greeting-- was it an accident, or was she ashamed of his friendship?
36134And if he had followed her to the end of the world to win her heart, why did he not talk of love to her, now that they were there together?
36134And say, talking about letters, why did n''t you take that one I wrote you the other day?
36134And the keen gray eyes of Henry Lee seemed to add:"Then what are you doing out here?"
36134And then what''s to become of my wife?
36134And what else did you hear?"
36134And, speakin''about women- folks, what''s this comin''down off the hill?"
36134Are you ready?"
36134Atkins?"
36134Aw, Brig, are you still writing to that girl down on the river?
36134Bill?
36134Bill?
36134Bowles?
36134Bowles?"
36134Bowles?"
36134Brig, were you drunk, too?"
36134Buck?
36134But do n''t you find, Mrs. Lee, that your Eastern speech is a bar, in a way, to the closest relations with your neighbors?
36134But her smile-- was it one of derision, or a token of forgiveness and regard?
36134But here''s one for Sam Houghton-- maybe that''s for you?
36134But say, pardner, on the dead, how about that divin''hawse?"
36134But the way out?
36134But why?
36134But you got a gun too, ai n''t you?"
36134But, speaking of names, has there been any one in Chula Vista inquiring for Samuel Houghton?"
36134Ca n''t you see''i m?
36134Can you rope?"
36134Clark, do you know who that young man is you''re travelin''with?''
36134D''ye understand?"
36134Did n''t he tell you to keep off that Dunbar horse?
36134Did n''t they all eat dirt to git took back fer green hands?
36134Did n''t you never see no more divin''stunts-- in New York or somewhere?"
36134Did n''t you see''em talkin''it over?
36134Did you see old Bar Seven''s jaw drop when he saw how he was bit?
36134Do n''t you know him?
36134Do n''t you remember?
36134Do n''t you think so, Mr. Bowles?
36134Do you remember one time, when we were coming West, I spoke about the spirit of the country-- the spirit of the West?
36134Er-- what do all these prairie- dogs live on, Mrs. Lee?
36134For a moment Bowles gazed at her, and there was a pained look in his eyes-- what if his beloved should turn out to be a scold?
36134Hain''t the old man got it in fer me?
36134Hank?
36134Hank?"
36134Hardy wo n''t shoot-- you ai n''t afraid of''i m, are you?"
36134Hardy, were you in on this?"
36134Has he run out of chewing tobacco?"
36134Have n''t you ever heard about Selim, the diving horse?
36134Have n''t you got any whisky?"
36134Have them sent up, wo n''t you?"
36134Have you been there lately?
36134Have you gentled that colt for me yet?"
36134Have you just come back from Chula Vista?"
36134He was a beautiful horse, was n''t he?
36134He''s so stuck on himse''f he cain''t stand to be showed up-- what''s the matter with a fake killin''?
36134Houghton?
36134How could he compete-- in either love or war-- with a man who was not a gentleman?
36134How do you ride-- with yore stirrups tied?
36134How does that strike you?"
36134How long ago was it that you were at Coney Island?"
36134How''s Maw and Paw and all the boys?
36134How''s he goin'', stranger-- make a pretty good buggy- horse, would n''t he?"
36134How''s that now?"
36134Huh?
36134I guess I can do what I please, ca n''t I?"
36134I guess I did n''t tell you what I''m hiding for?"
36134I have a sister, you know, living in New York-- Mrs. Elwood Tupper-- perhaps you know her?"
36134If that''s true, they''re all true, eh?"
36134If you played the jack, where is it?"
36134Is there anything more I can do?"
36134Is this the hotel ahead?"
36134It''s a fine, large place to come away from, is n''t it-- dear old New York?
36134It''s all very well, you know, to read about sunsets in Wordsworth, but why not go out into the Far West and see the sun set indeed?
36134It''s shore wonderful, ai n''t it, pardner?"
36134Jim?
36134Jim?
36134Lee?"
36134Makin''some kick about me?"
36134May I ask at what function you wore this charming gown?"
36134Maybe you never had any one like that?
36134Must have somethin''on his mind-- what?"
36134My twister, Hardy Atkins, wo n''t go near''i m, and he''s one of the best riders in Arizona; so what''s the use of talking about it?
36134Never asked you, nor nothin''?
36134No?
36134No?
36134Now what you goin''to do?"
36134Now, by grab, can you beat that?"
36134Now, how about it-- is that a lie?"
36134Now, will you wrangle horses, or will we have to ship you East?"
36134Now, you''re a stranger here, and I''ll make an exception of you-- how about that flunky job?"
36134Of course, I''m under an assumed name, and I guess you''ve noticed I do n''t get any letters; but that''s no crime, is it?"
36134Oh, he''ll be all right in a day or so-- who ever heard of a cowboy going into a decline?
36134Oh, how do they go?"
36134Oh, that''s him over there, hey?
36134One on top of the other?"
36134Or did that other girl give it back?"
36134Or who- all?
36134Perhaps we have met in a crush, like ships that pass in the night?
36134Rather not?
36134Savvy?
36134Say, lemme be, ca n''t ye-- what difference does it make to you fellers, anyway?
36134Say, that shore knocked the persimmon, did n''t it?
36134Say, you did n''t think I''d shore been there, did ye?"
36134Seen the world, mebbe?
36134Shall we go in now to dinner?"
36134Shall we go on down to your car?"
36134She did n''t even know my name-- now, why should she do a thing like that?
36134She did?
36134She knew him, of course, the minute she saw his hat, but-- well, what was the use of getting haughty about it?
36134Simple, is n''t it?"
36134That Dreamland is wonderful, is n''t it?
36134That''s a great country, ai n''t it, Brig?
36134The window was a little murky and the air was thick inside, but Dixie May was sure she had seen him-- or was she having dreams?
36134This gentleman is from England-- can''t you see him ride?"
36134Two years to some foreign country to bring in converts to the church-- an''who''s goin''to take care of my wife?"
36134Was n''t the slush of those sidewalks something elegant?
36134Was you ever up in the White Mountains?
36134We do n''t know each other, do you understand?
36134We had a land- sharp along-- claimed to know the world by sections-- and he----""Aw, what do you know about the Malapai country?"
36134Well now, what''s the wonderfulest thing you ever see?"
36134Well, so long, fellers-- kinder cold out hyer, ai n''t it?
36134Well, what would_ he_ be doing down there?
36134Well, where is it, then?
36134Well, who is it for?
36134What are you doing with Brig''s hawse, Hardy?
36134What are you up to, anyway?"
36134What can a man do?"
36134What d''ye say?
36134What did the girl say?"
36134What did you hear?"
36134What did you say her name was?"
36134What do you know about it, anyhow-- spent all yore life punchin''cows and eatin''sand-- what do you know about divin'', anyhow?"
36134What if she should blush as he had blushed at each chance tête- à- tête, gazing nervously into his eyes to guess if he would yield?
36134What if she should sense this conspiracy to make him marry her and lose that friendly smile?
36134What is one man, more or less, that you should hurt me like this?
36134What made you ask?"
36134What she sees in you is more than I can say, but----""Who''re ye talkin''about?"
36134What was she trying to do-- play a joke on me?"
36134What''re you tryin''to do?"
36134What''s goin''on down below now?
36134What''s the matter with Slim over there?"
36134What''s the matter with yore face this mawnin''?"
36134What''s the matter, Brig?"
36134What''s the matter, anyway?"
36134What''s the matter?
36134What''s the use of bein''a puncher, anyway?
36134What''s this I hear about a girl?"
36134What, do n''t I draw nothin''?"
36134Where''d they go to?"
36134Where''d you learn that-- back at Coney Island?"
36134Where''d you learn to ride so well?"
36134Who am I going to write to in case you go out like Dunbar?
36134Who do you think is up to the big house waiting for you?"
36134Who is there here that answers to the name of Sam?"
36134Who told you he crowded her out of the trail?"
36134Who wants to stand second guard?
36134Why did n''t you take that letter I wrote you?"
36134Why do n''t you get married and live somewhere else, then?"
36134Why do n''t you pick up a little around here?
36134Why do n''t you ride your own?"
36134Why not do a little play- acting, too, until they got up to the hotel?
36134Why, is that your name, Red?
36134Why?
36134Will you ride him second if he throws Bowles off?
36134Would n''t she have it?
36134Yet curiosity almost tempted him to accede-- or was it the witchery of her presence?
36134You ai n''t down here fer a Wild West Show, are ye?
36134You do n''t know my aunt, do you, Miss Lee?
36134You do n''t want to pull it yoreself, do you?
36134You got to take on somebody to do yore work; what''s the use of hirin''these town bums when you can git yore old hands back?
36134You ride old Gray and the roan for a while-- understand?
36134You saw that, did n''t you, Bowles?"
36134You see?"
36134You''ve been so good to me here-- what have I gone and done now?"
36134You''ve seen fellers like that, have n''t you?"
36134_ Er_-Bowles?"
36134_ I_ ai n''t got no six- shooter, and he do n''t run it over me, does he?
36134and''Did you fall?''
36134eh?
36134he called, turning and kicking the bar door open again,"did Dix come in on that train?
36134or''How''re you feeling?''
36134she cried impulsively,"have I made you any trouble?
36629A witch?
36629Afraid? 36629 Ai n''t I good enough to yous but you must come an''clean out all my pastry when my back is turned?
36629Am I late?
36629And Hope''s too, is n''t he?
36629And are you not the man?
36629And if you could buy the earth, what would you do with these people?
36629And may I ask if she loves you?
36629And who''s King Solomon, and what''s that to do with soap?
36629And you love her?
36629And you think we can stand off a dozen men?
36629And you would n''t like my father to know about this-- or_ your_ father either, I suppose?
36629Are n''t you? 36629 Are they aware you know about it?"
36629Are those your cattle up on the divide?
36629Are you anxious?
36629Are you sure about that brand?
36629But are you not afraid?
36629But tell me, did you have any trouble getting over here? 36629 But what are they going to do?"
36629But what can they do about it? 36629 But what if the fellow do n''t scare at them blank cartridges?"
36629But what makes you_ Mister_ him, Hope? 36629 But why wo n''t you come along with us?"
36629But you had such a free''fling''there at the ranch, what else could you want? 36629 But_ what_?"
36629Can I trouble you for a drink of that water, please? 36629 Clarice, do you know that it''s nearly eleven o''clock?"
36629Come, shall we go?
36629Could n''t you understand anything she said to you?
36629Curse who?
36629Dave, I''m afraid there are no coyotes in there, are n''t you?
36629Did father-- ask about me?
36629Did n''t you do enough damage to satisfy your savage soul for awhile?
36629Did the moonlight transform you?
36629Did you ever see a sunset as beautiful as the sunrise?
36629Did you get the coyotes_ already_?
36629Did you say something about going up to camp?
36629Did you''s ever hear the meaning hoff the word? 36629 Do I look like a girl that would tell things?"
36629Do they know?
36629Do you belong to the family?
36629Do you know what you are making me believe-- what you are telling me?
36629Do you live here all alone?
36629Do you mean that I''ll have to wait here_ alone_?
36629Do you mean,she asked, in short gasps,"that Edward-- Lord Livingston is not your_ husband_?"
36629For goodness''sake, did she propose to you?
36629Frightened? 36629 H- a- p- p- y,--happy,--t- i- t- e, tight,--happy-- tite-- that''s right, ai n''t hit?
36629Has he any family?
36629Have you ever experienced that?
36629Have you got your bounty yet for the coyotes you dug out of the hill?
36629Have you lived here long?
36629Hope, fetch your mother a glass of wine, do n''t you see she''s all upset?
36629How did it happen?
36629How did you know?
36629How do you know but what he meant the boys, too?
36629How does it happen?
36629How in the world do you tell them apart?
36629How is it you''re back so soon?
36629How many men?
36629How much farther is it?
36629How much is eight times four dollars, an''seventy- five cents for the hide?
36629How much longer must you be humored, dear?
36629How''d you know all that?
36629How''n blazes did that happen?
36629How''s everything at home-- the dogs and horses, and everything? 36629 How''s the ranch, Jim?"
36629I always told you there was chance for improvements, did n''t I, Hopie?
36629I reckon you''re our captain, ai n''t you?
36629I suppose she has a room in this place, has she not? 36629 I''ll just sit on this here recitation bench,"replied Jim,"that''s what you call it, ai n''t it?
36629If I should n''t happen to get any birds,she asked,"does the invitation still hold good?"
36629Indeed?
36629Is Miss Hathaway here?
36629Is he alive and conscious? 36629 Is he dead?"
36629Is he trying to run the whole country?
36629Is it a_ trouble_ to see you?
36629Is it as bad as that? 36629 Is it possible you do n''t know?
36629Is n''t it too bad he did n''t invest in cattle?
36629Is that old squaw in the farthest tepee from the house your own grandmother?
36629Is that so? 36629 Is that what you came to tell me?"
36629Is this not a beautiful day? 36629 Is_ Larry O''Hara_ there?"
36629It was here at the camp, another evening like this, was n''t it?
36629Jim,said the girl suddenly,"were you ever nervous?"
36629Know of any bad men that wants arresting?
36629Make you wonder what?
36629May I have this?
36629No, he ai n''t tired; ai n''t even warm, be you, old man? 36629 No?
36629Now what are you going to do about it, go home like babies, or stand by me and do what I tell you?
36629Now, how am I for an entertainer?
36629Now, what''s there funny about that?
36629Oh,sobbed Mrs. Van Rensselaer,"_ did_ you see it--_did you see it_?
36629Say, what''re you drivin''at, anyway? 36629 Say, where''d you come from?
36629See them sheds?
36629So how are you going to get away?
36629So there''s hope for you yet, do n''t you reckon there is? 36629 Something I ought to know?
36629Syd, dear, I do n''t care a bit about the whole concern, really, but please do n''t mention it to anyone, will you?
36629The herder''s sister?
36629The moon takes a long time to set, do n''t you think?
36629They''re beauties, are n''t they?
36629They''re going to pile up the sheep and kill him if he interferes, are they? 36629 Truly, it makes us feel like conquerors, does n''t it, Dave?
36629Was it wrong to say?
36629Well, Harris is in there dead drunk, and what''re we goin''to do without him, anyhow?
36629Well, I guess he found out there was one time I could look out for myself, did n''t he?
36629Well, what do yo''think?
36629Well, what is it?
36629What are they all doing there?
36629What are you doing up here so far away from home?
36629What are you talking about, Hope? 36629 What did you hear?"
36629What do you want to get for him and how much money do you want for it?
36629What does this little school amount to, to you?
36629What have I done?
36629What if that ai n''t the feller we want?
36629What in the world put such an idea into your head?
36629What made him leave just when I came up here? 36629 What made my mother marry my father?"
36629What made you come here?
36629What makes you think there ai n''t no coyotes there?
36629What will you do, spend your lonely maidenhood out here on the prairie, or take a life interest in some Old Ladies''Home?
36629What you come here for? 36629 What''d I think?"
36629What''d you do to the dog?
36629What''d you suppose_ I''d_ be diggin''there for if there was n''t none? 36629 What''d you think-- we''re a lot of babies?
36629What''ll you do to him?
36629What''re you doin''? 36629 What''s his crime?"
36629What''s keeping him?
36629What''s that you said, Miss Louisa?
36629What''s the matter?
36629What''s the other half?
36629When are you expecting her, and what are you going to do about her?
36629When did you start?
36629Where are you boys going?
36629Where are you going?
36629Where did Syd go?
36629Where did you come from, Jim, and what brings you up here? 36629 Where did you come from?"
36629Where have you been?
36629Where have you been?
36629Where is Sydney? 36629 Where is she-- your teacher?"
36629Where is she?
36629Where''d all them cattle come from?
36629Where''s Ned?
36629Where''s your horse?
36629Where''s your teacher?
36629Where''ve you all been?
36629Where?
36629Where_ is_ Sydney?
36629Which one?
36629Which would you rather do, Louisa?
36629Who done this?
36629Who figured out all that?
36629Who told Peterson?
36629Who told you?
36629Who told you?
36629Who wrote it, and where did you get it?
36629Why are you here? 36629 Why did n''t you tell me at once that it was for me?"
36629Why did n''t you tell me so before?
36629Why did you bring them?
36629Why do n''t you go with him?
36629Why do n''t you go?
36629Why not? 36629 Why, you ai n''t_ nervous_, be you, Hopie?
36629Why?
36629Why?
36629Why_ do n''t_ you ship them, then?
36629Will you allow me-- this night-- to ride home with you?
36629Will you kindly take me to Miss Hathaway''s apartment?
36629Will you never settle down, Hope? 36629 Will you ride with one of my men?"
36629Yes, your father has engaged me-- hired me, so I think we''d better go inside and begin work, do n''t you? 36629 Yes,"said the girl softly,"what of it?"
36629Yet who ever heard of an enamored swain offering his heart at the feet of his fair lady at such an unearthly hour? 36629 You ai n''t goin''to blame him for bein''sympathetic, be you, Hopie?"
36629You are a man of your word?
36629You do n''t suppose I ever thought for a minute you were mixed up in it, Hopie, do you? 36629 You hate sheep- men, too?"
36629You have no objection to our digging out a den of coyotes back here, have you?
36629You know all about_ that_, do you? 36629 You know it, and I know it, so what''s the use of denying it?
36629You mean two miles and a half, do n''t you?
36629You on night- herd to- night?
36629You speak of the round- up; why are you not with it?
36629You''ll go along, wo n''t you? 36629 You''re_ perfectly_ sure that these men are going to meet at the shed-- the big shed close to Fritz''s grave, there below the ledge of rocks?"
36629_ Interested in the sheep industry?_ Well, I should say not! 36629 _ To where?_"she asked.
36629_ Where_ did you get it?
36629_ Where_ have you been?
36629_ Who_ said so?
36629''What then are we, Mademoiselle,_ we_, the_ aristocracy_--the great nation of the_ French_?''"
36629***** MY DARLING BOY: Can it be that you actually refuse to allow me to come there?
36629A shattered shoulder is n''t going to bother you any, is it?
36629Ai n''t that so, Dan?
36629Ai n''t that so, Dan?"
36629Ai n''t you, old man?"
36629And have you not given me the_ right_, dear?"
36629And those heavy guns, why did you bring them?"
36629And what was she doing, groveling there among the rocks?
36629And why?
36629Are n''t you afraid of a pile up so near the bank?"
36629Are n''t you very tired and sleepy, Clarice?"
36629Are you different from your countrymen?"
36629Are you interested in the sheep industry?"
36629Are you not also pained at this sight-- this boy, in the very beginning of his manhood, lying here dead?"
36629Are you not frightened?"
36629Are you not master of your own actions?
36629Are you not?"
36629Are you sure he was n''t up at the house, Ned?
36629Are you-- do you care that I have said it?"
36629Are you?
36629But do n''t you think O''Hara entertains that kind of affection for you?"
36629But how did you happen to come up here, Clarice?"
36629But what difference would that make?"
36629But what''s the difference?
36629But who wrote it?"
36629CHAPTER XXIV"Clarice, dear,"said Hope,"what_ is_ the matter?"
36629CHAPTER XXVI"You bad girl,"cried Clarice Van Rensselaer from the table,"why did you run away?
36629Ca n''t you see it?
36629Ca n''t you tell a steer from a man?
36629Can anything exterminate the living me?
36629Can not another man open his mouth but that you must fly at him?
36629Can the death of this lump of clay change the_ I_ that is really myself?
36629Can you not be yourself to me now-- at this time?
36629Clarice, did you ever sit upon a throne and feel the world slipping out from under you?
36629Come, own up, are n''t you hungry?"
36629Come, own up, is it this_ Mister_ Livingston?
36629Could any place be prettier?
36629Did n''t you ever hear of that new law?
36629Did n''t you know he was dangerous?"
36629Did n''t you meet Long Bill and Shorty Smith up the road there a piece when you come along?"
36629Did n''t you meet him on the road?"
36629Did n''t you say that you had never felt me to be a_ stranger_ to you?
36629Did n''t you tell him, Jim, that I had gone away?
36629Did she expect to worry about him during the whole summer?
36629Did you come far, sir?"
36629Did you come to say good- night to me?"
36629Do coyotes or wolves trouble you much?
36629Do n''t you think so?"
36629Do you boys know him?"
36629Do you call it murder to kill one of those beasts?
36629Do you know of one?"
36629Do you know what that looks like to me?
36629Do you know where he went?
36629Do you realize how awful it seems?
36629Do you want to go over there?"
36629Do you want''em to hear you up to the house?''
36629Does n''t it make you feel ashamed of yourself when you think of all the sweetness of our past life?
36629Does that explain this-- outrage here to- night?"
36629Finally she asked:"Was he some relative of yours?"
36629Good God, what are you,_ stone_?
36629Had not her Fritz spent months at a time in one of those small, white- walled tents?
36629Had they not that day formed a band of secrecy-- she and her three brave scouts?
36629Had you forgotten?"
36629Have n''t you a heart, girl?"
36629Have n''t you brought yourself to meat, bread, and potatoes yet?
36629Have they asked him to move his sheep?"
36629Have you been doing anything since you''ve been up here to raise a commotion among these breeds?"
36629Have you the time and patience to wait for me?"
36629His dying groans, can you not hear them?"
36629Home?
36629How could such a strong, brave- looking man require a girl''s assistance?
36629How did he get it?
36629How did it happen?"
36629How did you ever come to allow him to carry her away up there and do the consolation act?
36629How do you feel?
36629How long have you been here?"
36629How many pupils have you?"
36629How much are you?"
36629How was it you happened to shoot old Peter?"
36629How''s that?"
36629How''s that?"
36629How_ can_ you stay here?
36629I reckon the school- ma''am''s instillin''some mighty high- flutin''notions into your head, ai n''t she?
36629I suppose I am to hang them up here on these nails, am I not?"
36629I suppose we''ve forgotten half what we really need, but that does n''t matter, either, does it, my Louisa?"
36629I think I seen you about the ranch, did n''t I?
36629I think the chickens will fly that way to- night, anyway, do n''t you?"
36629I thought----Would you like another drink of the water?"
36629I wonder how it happens that she never comes out here?"
36629I wonder how much closer we''ll have to go?"
36629If I could see once the place it would be better,_ nicht wahr_?"
36629If not his story, then does not his suffering appeal to you?
36629If you had not approved of me-- thought kindly of me in the start, could you have felt so?
36629Is it not so?
36629Is it true that you can do all these things?"
36629Is n''t it a fright?
36629Is n''t it nice to have a sister like that?
36629Is n''t it pretty?"
36629Is n''t it sad?
36629Is n''t it surprising to run across him like this?
36629Is n''t it terrible, Syd?"
36629Is n''t it, Dave?"
36629Is n''t it_ grand_?
36629Is n''t she, Syd?"
36629Is n''t that fine for one evening?"
36629Is n''t that so, Louisa?"
36629Is n''t there any way to go around it when we go back to the ranch, Mr. Livingston?
36629Is n''t this lovely and comfortable?
36629Is n''t this one a daisy?
36629Is that not so?"
36629Is that not so?"
36629Is that room in there_ always_ so grimy and dirty?
36629Is this Harris place very much farther?"
36629It was funny about you knowing him, was n''t it?
36629It''s nice and sweet out here on the grass, is n''t it?
36629It''s this: If a Gatling gun fires two thousand shots a minute how many can it fire in half an hour?"
36629Later:"Know of any men I can git around here?"
36629Livingston?"
36629Murder?
36629Must shoot pretty fast, do n''t they?
36629Must you alone love the white girl so that no man can speak her name?
36629Naturally he would insist, yet how could she tell him that she feared for his safety?
36629No misquitoes up here to bother, good water, good fishin'', good company,--an''who under the sun would want to quit such a camp?"
36629Now I came here to town to tell you that your aunt wants you to come back to the ranch, but you''re not going to come back, see?
36629Now how could she think such a thing as that?
36629Now may I ask to what I owe the honor of this-- visit?"
36629Now what are you going to do about it?"
36629Now what are you?
36629Now what''ll we do with him, Hope?"
36629Now, is n''t that so?"
36629Now, what in thunder am I going to do about it?
36629O''Hara?
36629Of course, I knew you had no hand in that shooting at the corral, had you, Hope?"
36629Or is that the way you treat ladies up here in the mountains?
36629Say, what''s a gating gun?"
36629Seen anything of them blame New Yorkers yet?"
36629She felt sorry, naturally, that a man had been shot, but what did it matter to her-- one man more or less?
36629She smiled wickedly, but he, innocently believing, exclaimed:"Why were you alone?
36629She was not sure that she wanted to receive his advances if he should make any, but why did he not make them?
36629Should the grimaces of a weazened old squaw frighten her into a fit, or should she pick up the bony thing and throw her over the top of the tepee?
36629Surely you''re just as brave as a girl?
36629Sydney, are you sure there is n''t something the matter with your brain?
36629Tell me how long you have been here, and where did you leave your horse?"
36629That you should care that much-- that you----""But I would n''t need to care-- so_ very_ much-- to come to bid you good- night-- would I?"
36629Then angrily to the boy:"If you knew he was going to do that Indian trick why did n''t you stop him?"
36629Then appalled by a new thought:"Oh, but if you should get tired and_ could n''t_ lead them there, how would they ever find the place?
36629Then are n''t you content to just sit here in silence beside me?"
36629Then as though struck with a sudden thought he asked:"Say, what made Dan give you his share of them coyotes?"
36629Then with a sudden inspiration:"How much''ll you take for that baist?
36629Then with a touch of amusement in his voice:"Tell me, are you angry with me that I should speak so plainly to you?"
36629Then, turning to Hathaway, continued:"James, where_ did_ he go?"
36629These cattle-- there''s two hundred head of''em-- they''re_ yours_--see?
36629Was he dead?
36629Was it Livingston?
36629Was you holdin''your hand up, or down, or what?
36629We will take a little side of our own and watch things-- what do you say?
36629We''re lucky when we have a good teacher, are n''t we?
36629Well, what of it?
36629What about this protégée of hers-- this German girl she''s taken to raise?
36629What are you doing here with those cattle?"
36629What are you doing with them?"
36629What are you doing?
36629What are you going to do about it?"
36629What became of the twins?
36629What did he have to say about me?"
36629What did you expect?"
36629What did you see?"
36629What do you say?
36629What do you think of her?"
36629What does he think we''d go to the trouble of running away from the Mission for if we wanted to go to school?
36629What if he is your cousin-- your second cousin?
36629What if the moon should come out, revealing them to the men waiting beyond the corrals?
36629What in the devil''s he got in his gizzard now?"
36629What in the world is it?
36629What makes all the noise in that other room?"
36629What should she do?
36629What though his lands extended beyond his good eyesight, were not these interlopers squatting on every mile of creek in the surrounding country?
36629What was she doing there by the window?
36629What were yo''tryin''to do, anyhow-- makin''a mark out o''it?
36629What''er you a- givin''me, anyhow?"
36629What''re_ you_ doin''''round here, anyhow?"
36629What''s yer name?"
36629When she returned, a few minutes later, Clarice exclaimed:"But you do n''t intend to send me over there_ alone_, do you?
36629When you''re heatin''hall you want you''re_ tight_, an''then you''re happy, ai n''t you?
36629When''d it happen?"
36629Where are the boys?"
36629Where are you going, Hope?"
36629Where did you boys get this letter?
36629Where did you''ns drop from?"
36629Where do you fellows live?"
36629Where in the world have you been?"
36629Where were the boys that I saw with you this morning?
36629Where''d you make the raise?"
36629Where''ve you been?"
36629Where_ did you come from?
36629Where_ is_ Sydney?
36629Who did you take me for that you were trying to frighten me to death?
36629Who is it that lives over there?"
36629Who will meet her and who will tell her, I wonder, and what will she do?
36629Whom were you talking to-- Livingston?
36629Whose cattle?
36629Why all this at once?
36629Why are n''t you?"
36629Why are some of my other son- in- laws limping about with bullets in their legs?
36629Why did he not make a little effort to woo her, after having declared his love in no uncertain manner?
36629Why did n''t I tell you?
36629Why did you ask, Miss Hathaway?"
36629Why did you want me to meet you here?"
36629Why do n''t you answer; are you dumb?"
36629Why do you allow her to say such things to you, James?
36629Why do you ask me?
36629Why do you ask?"
36629Why had she not gone there at once?
36629Why is a man lying dead up in the mountains?
36629Why not, when my heart sings it all the time?
36629Why the prefix?"
36629Why, how did you boys know all that?
36629Why, where did Miss Hathaway go?
36629Will he live?"
36629Will you come in the house and stay until my return?
36629Will you promise to some day join me there and be my wife?''
36629Wo n''t you come into the house?"
36629Would he acknowledge the truth?
36629You ai n''t a- goin''to hurt us, are you?"
36629You ai n''t afraid, be you?"
36629You are perfectly sure it was at the corrals?"
36629You are sure it was at the corrals?"
36629You are up here to watch that girl-- but where''s your eyes?
36629You did n''t send him away on some wild- goose chase, did you, Hope?"
36629You do not imagine that I will allow you to go alone?"
36629You girls will go and stay with me?
36629You have shown me the right way, Miss Hathaway-- and yet, what am I to do?
36629You know it would be lonely all by myself, do n''t you think so?"
36629You think I do n''t know you make fun at me?
36629You want a souvenir?
36629You will go at once, wo n''t you?"
36629You will treat my girl like that, will you?
36629You''d kill me if you could, would n''t you?
36629You''ns goin''right back?"
36629You''re sure there ai n''t no mistake''bout that?
36629You''re_ Mary_, are n''t you?
36629_ Edward_ Livingston, did you say?"
36629_ Livingston_--wonder if he''s any relation to Lord Livingston?
36629_ You_ have n''t been to supper, have you?"
36629and what makes that terrible_ odor_ about the place?"
36629asked the girl wonderingly,"what could have frightened you so,_ here_?"
36629why, what do you suppose we''ll do?"
36629you do n''t expect anybody to answer_ that_, do you?"
39056A month, eh?
39056Abe, was there ever two bigger fools''n you an''me? 39056 Ai n''t that a eligent piece of goods?"
39056And if I do?
39056And it''s without reason when you stand there flushed to your hair, you guilty woman?
39056And why did n''t he want me to go back there?
39056And you say her brother has disappeared?
39056Ann, where did you come from?
39056Are you really glad?
39056Are you, Ned?
39056Away, Nora?
39056Bayard? 39056 Bayard?"
39056Bruce, what do you know about Ned Lytton?
39056But do n''t you understand? 39056 But do you love him?"
39056But that ai n''t.... Why, do you_ love_ your husband?
39056But what did you do; what did I find? 39056 But why?
39056But why?
39056But... but why did you do this for me? 39056 Ca n''t I see what''s goin''on?
39056Ca n''t it be fixed?
39056Ca n''t you catch one for me?
39056Ca n''t you see? 39056 Ca n''t you stay right here in Yavapai and wait until the worst is over?
39056Coma ti yi--What do you see, Boy?"
39056Come, Bayard, be frank with me: the thing between us is a woman, is n''t it?
39056Did Bayard warn you?
39056Did you hear the yarn they was tellin''''bout old Newt Hagadorn, when they''lected him justice of th''peace in Bumble Bee? 39056 Do n''t you ever get tired playing the hero?"
39056Do n''t you know me?
39056Do n''t you know they was n''t a mile behind you, on th''other side of them low bluffs?
39056Do n''t you know what it is?
39056Do n''t you know what it is?
39056Do n''t you see? 39056 Do n''t you think he''s strong enough now, so I might be with him?"
39056Do n''t you understand?
39056Do you like it here?
39056Do you like these?
39056Do you mean that you wo n''t be here?
39056Do you mean you''ve... got a fight with this man? 39056 Do you think he better know you''re here?"
39056Do you... do you think men ever get so bad that anyone can be hurt by being... by coming under the same roof with them?
39056From the East, ai n''t you?
39056Give what?
39056Got a little clean water for a dirty cow puncher?
39056Has anybody been here before me, to- day?
39056Have I? 39056 Have I?"
39056Have n''t you anything but the same old suspicion, the same old denunciation for me?
39056He brought you in here, did he? 39056 He gave it to you to use on me?"
39056He got an artery, did he? 39056 He steals my wife and tries to frighten me away from my property, does he?
39056How are you, Parson?
39056How are young goin''to tell when He''s missin''from those present?
39056How have you known about me when you have n''t been to see me?
39056How long ago?
39056How long have you been here, Nora?
39056How''d you know?
39056How''s that for raiment?
39056How''s that for tony?
39056How- do- you- do?
39056How? 39056 I did n''t ask you to bring me here, did I?
39056I..."But you''ll let me know about Ned?
39056If you ever think there''s anything any man can do to help-- from listening on up-- just let me try, will you, my boy?
39056Impatient?
39056Is it awful important, Bruce?
39056Is it, old timer? 39056 Is n''t it a fact that you''ve been waiting to see what I''d do when I got well?
39056Is n''t it unusual to find a man out here or anywhere who feels like that? 39056 Is that right?"
39056Is that tight enough?
39056Is that your answer, Abe? 39056 Is the''anything else that holds folks together?
39056Is there anything else I can do for you now?
39056Is this enough?
39056Is this the way you greet your visitors?
39056Is this the way you''re going to greet me?
39056It was all very exciting, was n''t it?
39056It''s deplorable, ai n''t it,Bayard chuckled,"how th''Lord outfits his servants in this here country?"
39056It''s that necessary to kill him, is it, Benny?
39056It''s... all right, is it?
39056Lordy, Sister, you''d make me out a hell- winder of a bad man, would n''t you?
39056Lytton, if I was to ask a favor of you, would you consider it?
39056Maybe... in some ways, but who the devil wants that kind hanging around his neck?
39056Mind if I talk to you a while, Bruce?
39056Must I tell you?
39056Ned, what are you going to do?
39056Never to_ let_ him? 39056 New York?"
39056No, but what they call it do n''t make no difference in th''right or th''wrong of it, does it? 39056 Now, would you tear that pillow slip into strips wide enough for a bandage?"
39056Oh, you is it, Benny Lynch?
39056She''ll be glad to know he''s gettin''along so well....So everybody thinks she''s his sister, do they?"
39056She''s young; she''s sweet; she''s beau..."Say, who told you about my wife?
39056So much the better, is n''t it? 39056 So?
39056Suspect him? 39056 Th''privacies of this here establishment ai n''t exactly perfect, are they?"
39056Th''reason th''_ Yavapai Argus_ perished was''cause Tom Clary beat th''editor to all th''news, was n''t it?
39056That piano of yours has got powerful lungs, ai n''t it?
39056That''s his latest, is it?
39056The other day I tried to get nasty about a girl, the girl Nora at the Manzanita House, did n''t I?
39056This is the Manzanita House?
39056Tryin''to josh me now, ai n''t you?
39056Up to something is he?
39056Want any help, Bruce?
39056Well, do n''t you think I might go back with you?
39056Well, if you think all us drunkards are such buzzard fodder, what are you packin''this around with you for?
39056Well, what do you want to do?
39056Well, what do you want, Nora?
39056Well, what if she is?
39056Well, what''s got into you?
39056Well, when it do n''t, what''ve you parsons got to say about it? 39056 Well... Wo n''t you sit down, Nora?"
39056Were you born out here?
39056What do you mean by that... to stop me?
39056What do you mean?
39056What do you mean?
39056What do you s''pose makes it so?
39056What do you want here?
39056What for, Ned?
39056What if I do?
39056What if you do? 39056 What is it, Bruce?
39056What is it, Bruce?
39056What is it, Nora? 39056 What is it?"
39056What makes you think that?
39056What th''hell do I want of coffee? 39056 What would you have me do?"
39056What you doin''out to- night?
39056What you got, Bruce?
39056What''d you come out here for anyhow?
39056What''s wrong, Bruce? 39056 What''s wrong, Sister?
39056What''s your game?
39056When they do know, when they do n''t give up even then? 39056 Where are you taking me, Ned?"
39056Where in hell am I? 39056 Where is he now?"
39056Where was he hit, Bruce?
39056Where''d he come from?
39056Where''d he go?
39056Where''d you find him?
39056Who are you?
39056Who is it?
39056Who is it?
39056Who is it?
39056Who is this lady you''re honorin''by hitchin''me up with?
39056Who tied you up?
39056Who''s that?
39056Why are you taking him?
39056Why did n''t you let Abe pack him?
39056Why have n''t you been out before, Ann?
39056Why of--"Have you ever been able to, ma''am?
39056Why should you lie to me and keep me from Ned, my husband? 39056 Why, Nora, I thought you was a fixture here; what''ll we do without you?"
39056Why, why not?
39056Why? 39056 Wife stealer, is he?"
39056Will you tighten it with that stick, now, Miss?
39056Without reason, am I?
39056Wo n''t you sit down here?
39056Would you eat somethin''?
39056Would your bein''with him help? 39056 Yes.... For God''s sake, have n''t you got a drink?"
39056You ai n''t goin''to faint, are you?
39056You and Bayard.... You both thought it best for me to stay here without knowing my wife was in Arizona?
39056You did, did n''t you, Abe? 39056 You had a run- in with him, did n''t you?"
39056You know him pretty well, too?
39056You know this pup Lytton, do n''t you, Bruce? 39056 You know?"
39056You mean, you know where he is?
39056You read by it?
39056You see somebody?
39056You strung me this mornin'', did n''t you? 39056 You think so?"
39056You understand how it is, when a fellar''s just got to talk?
39056You want him to give up everything?
39056You will, will you?
39056You would, would you?
39056You''ll let me alone, wo n''t you, ma''am?
39056You''ll stay away? 39056 You''re awake?"
39056You''re gettin''to be a frequent caller, ai n''t you?
39056You''ve been here a month, have you? 39056 You''ve been here while I''ve been passing through hell itself?
39056You, in th''next room; would you mind comin''in here a minute? 39056 You... last night... you said you might... that is, do you want th''automobile, ma''am?"
39056Your father?
39056After a moment she asked,"Is he so very bad, then?"
39056Ai n''t it?"
39056Ai n''t lovin''a man answer enough for any woman?"
39056Ai n''t that murder?
39056Ai n''t that right, now?
39056Am I as blind as you try to make me think you are?"
39056An awkward fraction of a minute followed, which he broke by asking:"But where did you come from, Ann?
39056And Lynch, shaken by Bruce''s appearance, the manner of his arrival, countered:"What''s wrong?
39056And Nora?
39056And then, very seriously,"How''n hell could she marry a... thing like that?"
39056Anybody seen Charley?"
39056Are n''t you cold?"
39056Are there more like him in this country, Nora?"
39056Are you blind?
39056Are you goin''to tell her anythin''?
39056Are you goin''to try to find out?"
39056Are you sayin''yes?"
39056Bayard?"
39056Because a preacher told you you was one did n''t make it so, did it?
39056But after that momentary pause he blurted out,"Is everything all right, Benny?"
39056But how about th''party you carried off?"
39056But what was your object?"
39056But... wo n''t you do it for her?
39056Ca n''t I see?
39056Ca n''t we form a combination?"
39056Ca n''t you see that, Benny?"
39056Ca n''t you tell me?"
39056Ca n''t... have n''t you any left this morning?"
39056Can you argue against that... against that?"
39056Can you argue against that?
39056Can you direct me?"
39056Can you fix me up?"
39056Can you tell me the name of the best hotel?"
39056Could you do anything but stir him up?"
39056Do I know him?
39056Do n''t you think I know what I want?
39056Do n''t you?"
39056Do you know the answer?"
39056Do you know?
39056Do you preach like that on Sunday?"
39056Do you see that, ma''am?
39056Do-- don''t you see that you would n''t be much different from what I was, if you went back to your husband, hatin''him an''lovin''another?
39056Does it always work out?"
39056Does it keep it from bein''so?
39056Does your bein''a man''s wife mean happiness?
39056Feed your horse?"
39056Gradually, that smile faded, an uncertainty appeared in Ann''s eyes and she broke out:"Why, what is the matter with you, Nora?"
39056Had Lynch been mistaken?
39056Had he deceived him artfully?
39056Have you thought of that?
39056Have you thought, ma''am, that maybe I ai n''t th''kind of man I''m pretendin''to be?"
39056Have you?"
39056He asked me to--""Did he show you into that room?"
39056He spoke the first words,"Who are you?"
39056He took her away an''she... sent for me...."Do n''t you see that I''m to blame?
39056He''s as low as a snake''s belly, ai n''t he, Bruce?"
39056He''s been telling you... about me?"
39056He''s come to beat us to it, has he?"
39056He--"Say, Bruce, why ca n''t I saddle up an''lead a horse in after him?
39056How about it, if somebody was to step in an''relieve you?"
39056How about you?"
39056How did you get here?
39056How did you know?
39056How soon can we get away?"
39056How''d I get here?"
39056How''s that?"
39056How''s things?"
39056I ai n''t ever admitted it to myself, even, but has that-- not admittin''it-- got anything to do with it, I wonder?
39056I can judge for myself what I want, ca n''t I?"
39056I do n''t believe I''ve ever spoken to you a dozen times when I was sober and yet you.... How long have you been doing all this for me?"
39056I feel...""Why do n''t you feel right?"
39056I have n''t asked any favors of you, have I?
39056I seem to have a fair enough acquaintance, do n''t I?
39056I suppose you''ve come out here to- day with a prayer- book and a lot of soft words, a lot of ca nt, to try to reform me?"
39056I wonder... is it asking too much to ask you to help me plan?
39056I''d like to know a woman like her; she sure was a slick one, was n''t she?
39056I''ll--"Why, what''d this town say, if I was to tell''em you''re Ned Lytton''s wife instead of his sister?
39056I''m sure the weeks you put in here have given....""Given what?"
39056Is n''t it the same old game?
39056Is n''t it?"
39056Is n''t that it?
39056Is something troubling you?
39056Is that it?"
39056Is that it?"
39056Is the''anything else that makes men an''women happy?
39056Is there a carriage here?"
39056Is there anything more beautiful?"
39056Is this Hi Boyd?
39056Is this your trunk?"
39056It hurts like.... Say, whatever your name is, have n''t you got another drink?"
39056It is?
39056It may break your heart.... How about it?"
39056It''s advice... what''d you do if you was in that fix?"
39056It''s fine--""But who is that?"
39056It''s like this breeze comin''in here now; warm an''soft an''gentle, th''mildest, meekest little breeze you''ve ever felt, ai n''t it?
39056It''s my fault if he--""You sent him?"
39056It''s no reason when he runs away to town rather than face me here in your presence?
39056It''s without reason when he opens this room to you... a room he''s never let me look into, and tells you to use it?
39056Just remember that, an''believe that, will you?"
39056Kind of a stuck up old pup, ai n''t you, Abe?"
39056Lord, Bayard, I''m a man, ai n''t I?
39056Lytton?
39056Lytton?"
39056May I leave it here until morning?"
39056No?
39056Now, Bruce, a gang of skunks that''d do that to as fine an old man as my dad was, ought to be burnt, had n''t they?"
39056One of that kind; get me?
39056Or are you afraid?
39056Run him down on foot?
39056See what I mean?
39056See what happened to your horse?
39056See?
39056See?
39056See?"
39056She looks like a good mother, do n''t she?
39056She smiled appreciatively, downing her misery for the moment, and hastened to say:"Do n''t you think it would be better, if I were there now?
39056She turned to meet his gaze and he saw that her face was colorless and strained, but she smiled and asked,"I could n''t do less, could I?"
39056So he said,"I''m takin''a little rest; ca n''t you see?"
39056So they sat a time in companionable silence until the younger man asked,"Had you come far to- day?"
39056Street- Land By PHILIP DAVIS, assisted by Grace Kroll What shall we do with the 11,000,000 children of the city streets?
39056That right, Abe?"
39056That would be a comfortable thing to believe, would n''t it?
39056That''s big business for a... a respectable lady, like yourself, ai n''t it?
39056The uncertainty, that was the worst...."Peculiar, is n''t it, why I should have been uncertain?
39056Then, after a moment:"How''d I get here?
39056Then, after a wait in which he shifted from foot to foot and swore under his breath:"Hello... Boyd''s?
39056Then, she stood erect and muttered,"Oh, God, has it come?"
39056They''re married in th''name of God, ai n''t they?"
39056Was he of that country?
39056Was he possessed of desires and urgings of which he had no control?
39056Was he the lover of some mountain girl?
39056Was he, possibly, the husband?
39056Was she conscienceless?
39056We was n''t particular, see?
39056What are you goin''to do''bout that?"
39056What brought you?"
39056What do you mean?"
39056What do you think your law will say to that?"
39056What do_ you_ know about him?"
39056What if Bayard did love an abandoned woman?
39056What is it, now?
39056What is it?"
39056What is it?"
39056What matter if she were married?
39056What mattered anything but that she loved him?
39056What was it?"
39056What''d you say then?"
39056What''s his interest in the Sunset mine?
39056When they were in sight of the ranch, he spoke again,"How''n th''name of God can a man help lovin''a woman like that?"
39056Where could they go, but on to the mine?
39056Where did you get it?"
39056Who would n''t be?
39056Why do n''t you get her some ridin''clothes an''take her along?
39056Why do you keep doubting me?"
39056Why fear?
39056Why should I get hot, if it ai n''t true?"
39056Why was you in such a hurry?"
39056Why, do n''t you know that every man likes to have some woman dependin''on him?
39056Will you take me back?
39056With Bayard?"
39056Wo n''t you come in?"
39056Wo n''t you come into the house?"
39056Wo n''t you let me go through with it?"
39056Would he really harm her?
39056You do n''t mind, do you?"
39056You expect she would mind, ma''am?"
39056You know that for days after you--""And you''ve relied on him to give you news of me?"
39056You understand?
39056You''d go back without lovin''him?"
39056You''ll keep this gun, wo n''t you, please, ma''am?"
39056You''ll stay right here an''give me a chance to play my hand?
39056You''re goin''to hear me through, understand?
39056You''re so particular that you have to import one; is that it?"
39056You''re... you''re not scared now?"
39056You''ve been here a month and this is the first time you''ve come to see me?"
39056You''ve come to help me, you said, and yet you would n''t even let me know you were here?
39056You''ve hogtied''em in th''name of all that''s holy; what if it do n''t turn out right?
39056You''ve known about me, known how I''ve suffered?
39056You--""You do n''t think I''m up to it?
39056You--"Say, what are you goin''to wear on your head?"
39056You... you understand, do n''t you?
39056You... you_ do_ love him yet, do n''t you?"
39056Your brother, is n''t it, the young miner?"
39056Your promisin''to love him did n''t make you love, did it?
39056anyhow?"
38019''An''phwat was the owner doin''out in the City Park last night?'' 38019 ''D''yees know him?''
38019''E do, do''e?
38019''Faith, an''I do not; d''yees?'' 38019 ''He do, do he?''
38019''Sure?'' 38019 ''Where at?''
38019''Where may be his risidence?'' 38019 ''Will yees show me the scow cabin?''
38019''Yees do?'' 38019 A damned good thing, eh, Phil?"
38019A little startled, eh? 38019 Aha,"replied Sam, with a roguish twinkle of the eye,"my eyes do not deceive me, eh?"
38019All a mistake?
38019All ready?
38019All skookum, Jack?
38019Alone?
38019An''the mister shud ave better sinse than to trate her so unkind, do n''t yees think so now?
38019And do you know,said Hazel in an awed tone,"he''s a Knight of the Order of the Garter?
38019And what did he tell you?
38019And you have no tidings of her? 38019 And you-- you will continue to be?"
38019And-- could-- he really believe this of me?
38019Are we curs to be daunted by this Oregon girl, this slip of a woman?
38019Are you agreed?
38019Are you coming?
38019Are you satisfied the child is my little Dorothy?
38019Are you sure?
38019Are you sure?
38019Aunty, wo n''t you take me to mamma?
38019Be it raysponsible for yees hurt?
38019Be there any more arders, mam?
38019But, Mr. Corway,--she returned, with that provoking smile still lurking about the corners of her pretty mouth--"don''t you love any other?"
38019By whom?
38019Can you prove that to me?
38019Cause- a da what? 38019 Dangerous?"
38019Dear me; who was his confederate?
38019Did Hazel tell you of my proposal to her three years ago?
38019Did I not say it was possible he had met with a friend? 38019 Did he get away?"
38019Did she make the appointment?
38019Did you note any visitors to the cabin this evening?
38019Did you notice John Thorpe in one of the boats, Hazel?
38019Did you notice the path a lady took, who entered the park a minute since?
38019Do n''t you think I had better see Mrs. Harris, dear?
38019Do what?
38019Do yees belave it?
38019Do you deny me?
38019Do you know to whom you suggested this?
38019Do you like auntie, Sam?
38019Do you note the amount? 38019 Do you think he is the detective?"
38019Do you think he suspected you?
38019Do you think so, Smith?
38019Do you think so?
38019Do you think the Italian, his visitor and the child are the only ones there?
38019Do you think the child awakened and struck a match?
38019Do you?
38019Dorothy, dear, where is he?
38019Eesa good- a da name? 38019 Eesa got a much a da mon, eh a Daize?"
38019Eesa part a da mon? 38019 Eesa you da see?"
38019From whom have you your information?
38019Giuseppe, have you lost your fadder''s medal?
38019Good for twenty thousand simoleons at any rate? 38019 Ha, ha, ha, Signora lak- a da job, eh?
38019Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Signora make a da bold a break in a da house, eh? 38019 Had I better tell her my suspicions?"
38019Has anybody heard from Corway?
38019Has he got away?
38019Has the ring any peculiar feature by which it may be distinguished from others?
38019Have I been intoxicated?
38019Have you seen her, Auntie?
38019He of the investment company?
38019He, he, he, he,he again chuckled, and sharply turned on her:"Who tole- a you, Eesa gott- a da kid?"
38019How are you?
38019How can you ask that question of me?
38019How could I do otherwise? 38019 How dy yus do, Sor?"
38019How many of you are there in this?
38019How much will I give?
38019How much?
38019How, in the name of God, did you do it?
38019How?
38019How?
38019I am sure my Lord Beauchamp is too much of a devotee to the''tripping muse''to absent himself very long from the ball- room?
38019I guess so, eh, aunty?
38019I understand the reception by Mrs. Harris is to be given in his honor?
38019I will call upon Miss Thorpe to favor me with her company later, eh, Uncle?
38019If I do you''ll sure take me home tomorrow?
38019If I do, you wo n''t forget your promise?
38019If Virginia knew that Dorothy was in the hands of the Dago, why did she keep it secret? 38019 If it is no secret?"
38019If it is yours, no doubt you can describe certain marks which appear on its surface?
38019In deeze- a home ova- a a Signor George- a da Golda-- house- a dat, eh, a Daize?
38019In the name of all that''s astounding, what do you mean, Thorpe?
38019Incarnate monster; dare you imprison me?
38019Is he getting thin?
38019Is it possible that, after all, Constance, and not Hazel, is the real object of his attention?
38019Is it yours?
38019Is n''t she an angel? 38019 Is n''t she pretty?"
38019Is that all?
38019Is that your name?
38019Is the soul of one''s plexus in his eyes, Smith?
38019Just unconscious?
38019Lord who?
38019Mama, are n''t you going to speak to me?
38019May I stay in here when the photo man comes?
38019My heart fluttered out of its place weeks and weeks ago, and will not flutter back, unless--"Unless what, dear?"
38019Not even Virginia?
38019Not sincere? 38019 Now you believe me, do n''t you?"
38019Of course, you have acted as Mrs. Harris''escort?
38019Of the officers of the law, eh, Auntie?
38019Oh, I like you ever so much for that, and we''ll go home tomorrow? 38019 Oh, heaven spare my reason-- yet-- what is reason to me now?
38019Oh, tryin''to crawfish from your bargain, eh?
38019Oh, what do you know of her?
38019Oh, what shall I do? 38019 Phwat be yees lookin''at?
38019Phwat d''yees mane?
38019She does n''t recognize me as the old cripple,and evaded a direct answer by asking her:"Donna you da know- a me?"
38019Signs of what?
38019So there are at least two of you in this''over the road''business?
38019Stain''em all a da red, eh?
38019Tell- a me, da Daize, what- a da for youse- a like- a da picture take- a here, eh?
38019Then I am either a knave or a fool?
38019Then you are quite satisfied he is not badly hurt?
38019To you, aunty?
38019Virginia must be concealed, but where?
38019Was he the owner of the medal? 38019 Was the twenty thousand dollars he had heard Virginia mention with surprise, a ransom?"
38019Well, Phil,he replied,"what game is on now?"
38019Well, this is so serious that-- don''t you think that I should have a little time to consider it?
38019Well, what do you call the handsome mon?
38019Well, you are sorry for leaving mama in that old cabin, are n''t you?
38019Well, you have enjoyed it?
38019Well?
38019Were you looking for your baby there?
38019What a da promise?
38019What are you saying?
38019What color is the bit of ribbon?
38019What did you find there?
38019What did you sign the articles for?
38019What did you want to meet me here for? 38019 What do you mean?
38019What do you want-- what am I-- who are you?
38019What does it portend?
38019What else?
38019What have you there?
38019What if it had been accidentally dropped by the man talking to Virginia last night?
38019What is his name?
38019What is it, Judge?
38019What is queer, Sam?
38019What is she wading in the river for? 38019 What is the trouble now, James?"
38019What is wrong, Sam?
38019What proof have you that he is an imposter?
38019What punishment is this inflicted on me?
38019What shall I do now?
38019What shall I do?
38019What shall I say?
38019What was your motive for kidnapping the child?
38019What you bade me,he coolly replied, and with a gloating smile on his lips, added:"The result is what you wanted, is n''t it?"
38019What- a da child- a?
38019What? 38019 When you len eem?"
38019Where did he live?
38019Where does the man live to whom you loaned this?
38019Where is Virginia? 38019 Where?"
38019Who are you?
38019Who is Rutley?
38019Who is he?
38019Who was so mean to strike her down?
38019Who''s got a phone near here?
38019Whom do you suspect?
38019Whose Dorothy?
38019Why do n''t you search the river?
38019Why do you start?
38019Why do you suspect the lord to be Philip Rutley?
38019Why do you think so?
38019Why draw away from me, Hazel?
38019Why not?
38019Will he?--are you sure?
38019Will it ever return, darling?
38019Will you accompany me to the ball- room?
38019Would n''t it be a surprise if the appeal should be negative?
38019Would you like to know who his sureties are?
38019You are frank,she rejoined, and then asked:"Is Dorothy safe?"
38019You are, eh? 38019 You ask that question?"
38019You believe me, John?
38019You do n''t apprehend the wound exerts undue pressure on the brain?
38019You do, eh? 38019 You do?"
38019You have something to say to me, Uncle?
38019You insist on going the rounds with me? 38019 You mean a shooting affair?"
38019You mean to Hazel?
38019You say he got ten thousand dollars from the bank on your uncle''s indorsement?
38019You will now liberate the child?
38019Your disguise is perfect, but--and Rutley laughed--"a little pale about the gills, eh?"
38019Your reason, Corway, for doubting his title of lord?
38019Youse- a love- a da papa and da mama much- a, donn- a youse?
38019''Phwat wud I be lyin''to yees fer?''
38019''Sure, ave I not talked wit him over that same bit ave bronze but yisterday?''"
38019''Where did yees foind that?''
38019A commoner to a lord?
38019A straw hat to a lady''s tiara?
38019A.?"
38019After a pause, evidently for an answer, she went on kindly:"Do you seek alms?"
38019After all, what matters it for a few hours?"
38019Again he spoke to her:"Constance, do you not know me?"
38019Again she seemed to recover her reason and her voice, soft and sobbing, said,"John, you do n''t believe me shameless and debased, do you?
38019And for what?
38019And what business had Beauchamp out on the Barnes road last night?"
38019And what danger would not the mother brave to rescue her darling?
38019And, if so, was he the same party that met Virginia, and whom he had followed last night?"
38019Any liquor handy, Jack?
38019Are n''t you going to kiss me?"
38019Are n''t you going to kiss me?"
38019Are you hurt?"
38019Are you out for a bracer this morning?"
38019Are you tired?
38019At last he gravely broke the silence--"Have you no answer to this, Hazel?"
38019At that moment Sam exclaimed,"Well, what do you think of this?"
38019Brainy, good- looking, very fetching, eh, Sam?"
38019But first, what cause have you for divorcing Constance?"
38019But it was a bungled job, was n''t it, old chappie?"
38019But this?"
38019But who could be so cruel as to steal away my little darling?
38019But, how to deny the vile lie that Constance was a party to the kidnapping?
38019Can you enlighten us as to that man''s identity?"
38019Can you tell me where he is?
38019Come, Doctor"--the name he had given to the dog--"we''ll leave them for awhile, eh?"
38019Corway?"
38019Could he believe it?
38019Could he have kidnapped Dorothy?"
38019D''yees think he''d likely be up on the hill top in the brush?"
38019D''yees think he''s the wan?"
38019Did he know I was there?
38019Did he know she was to be there?"
38019Did you hear her speak?"
38019Did you hear her-- the maiden fair, with the blue black hair, how she plays into our hands?"
38019Did you hear it?
38019Did you say your left foot tickled?"
38019Do n''t believe it, eh?
38019Do you comprehend?
38019Do you comprehend?"
38019Do you not remember Hazel?
38019Do you note his condescending air?
38019Do you prefer to be hidden in a trunk, or shall it be among the old rummage in the loft?"
38019Do you think he heard me?"
38019Do you understand?"
38019Do you want me to give it to the world?"
38019Does my lord approve the answer?"
38019Eesa beez a da good a da woman, eh?
38019Eesa mak- a da boss a hang- a man, eh?"
38019Eesa nicey da room, eh Daize?"
38019Eesa try tak a Daize from a da nicey home, eh?
38019Eh, Phil?"
38019Eh, a Daize?"
38019Eh, a da Daize?"
38019Eh, aunty?"
38019Eh, why?"
38019Eh?
38019Eh?"
38019Good God, have I been shanghaied?"
38019Have you any tidings of Dorothy?"
38019Have you found my darling?"
38019Have you seen him this morning?"
38019Hazel addressed her:"Constance, do you not know me?
38019Hazel heard it, and in alarm said to Corway:"What is that?
38019He was soon joined by Jack, who asked, in a low voice:"Have you killed him?"
38019Hear?"
38019How could she get twenty thousand dollars to pay the ransom?
38019How had it come on the hall table?
38019How many surrounded the cabin?
38019How much- a you- a da give to gett- a back- a da kid?
38019How?
38019How?"
38019How?"
38019I can trust you with it?"
38019I guess so, eh, Auntie?"
38019I say, my good fellow, do you remember the time I was brought on board and how many were in the party?"
38019I''ve heard he''s a dead shot,"and she abruptly stopped and looked furtively about, and then, in a more discreet tone of voice, said:"Will you walk?"
38019Is it not so?"
38019Is n''t she?"
38019Is there room for a possibility of a mistake?
38019It was clearly meant for a clandestine meeting-- with whom?
38019Kin youse hear what she''s saying?"
38019Listen, Virginia, dear, do you not hear her?"
38019Mak- a eem all a da carmine, eh?
38019Make- a da boss actor-- like- a Salvina-- bime by, eh?"
38019May I indulge in the pleasure now?"
38019Meanwhile, John Thorpe was absorbed in profound thought, and oblivious of his surroundings, said to himself:"What can his lordship mean?
38019Mose a beez a da rich, eh- a Daize?"
38019Mr. Thorpe, you will not forget your promise to Constance for the Newport?"
38019Now I do remember that when a boy Sam fell and severely hurt his left knee; and so the old complaint is asserting itself again, eh?
38019Now youse- a da like- a me now?
38019Now, do n''t you want me to be your escort?"
38019Now, do you understand how simple a thing it will be to make Thorpe wish he were dead?
38019Oh, will no one rescue my darling?"
38019On releasing him, Sam turned with a broad grin of satisfaction to his aunt--"How is that for the Texas brand, eh, Auntie?"
38019Or-- life?
38019Phwat''s that?
38019Quite a society thrill-- don''t you know?"
38019Ranged the Texas plains a few years, did n''t he?"
38019Relieved, she said:"Then it was you who sent me the note this morning?"
38019Remember how he and old Harris broke up our investment company?
38019Rutley watched Jack vanish in the gloom, then muttered to himself,"Why this fear?
38019Sam knew full well the object of Smith''s allusion, and said sympathetically,"You share in the sorrow of your house?"
38019Sam, have you a light?"
38019See him?
38019Shall I carry Dorothy?"
38019Shall I give notice of your intention to resist his application for divorce?"
38019Shall I run for the doctor?"
38019She had been followed by whom?
38019She has a pull on him, eh?"
38019Signora beez a da accomplice ova da conspirator to break a up a da brodder''s home, eh?
38019Smith imagined he heard a splash, and assuming a listening attitude, said cautiously,"Phwat may that mane?"
38019So like a moan?"
38019Softly closing the door, he said,"What is it, Smith?
38019Start her up with a full page ad in a Sunday paper, eh?
38019Suddenly changing his voice to an anxious tone, said,"Phwat d''yees want?
38019Suddenly he asked Sam in an eager, anxious whisper,"Do yees belave she''d do wrong?"
38019Suddenly she covered her face with her hands and moaned,"What have I done?"
38019Sure, did n''t I drive her coach to the church whin she married him?
38019Sure, man, dear, what more do yees want to prove it?"
38019Surprised, eh?"
38019Swiftly she glanced at Rutley and said with tremulous lips:"What have you told him to cause such fearful passion?"
38019The first doubt of his wife''s guilt had seized upon his brain, and he said chokingly,"My God, is it possible my wife is innocent?"
38019The girl stood his stare for a moment, then impatiently said,"Why do n''t you read it?"
38019The two stared at each other for a moment in silence, then Sam said:"How long has your friend Kelly known him?"
38019Then turning to the group, said:"What new joke is this, gentlemen?"
38019These expressions will slip out now and again, wo n''t they?
38019Thorpe?"
38019Thorpe?"
38019To whom do you refer?"
38019Turning to Mr. Harris, he asked:"How long have I been unconscious, Uncle, and who brought me home?"
38019Was it not to tell me where Dorothy is?"
38019Was that mere accidental gossip?
38019We will bring this to proof, Mrs. Thorpe,"he proceeded,"look at these friends about you; do you not remember any of us?"
38019Were his eyes deceiving him?
38019What a use- a da tink?
38019What am I saying?
38019What are you looking for?"
38019What did the poor creature say?"
38019What do you say to secretary- treasurer of the Securities Investment Association?"
38019What do you want?"
38019What eesa da name?"
38019What has caused you so much grief?"
38019What have I to do with human feelings now?
38019What have you done with the child?"
38019What if the dago''s partner should steal in on us?"
38019What is coming over him?"
38019What is it?"
38019What is the meaning of this affront to my hospitality?"
38019What is your mission?"
38019What now can compensate me for the humiliation of being thought by him so shameless and debased?
38019What of it?"
38019What shall I do now?"
38019What shall I do?
38019What shall I say to my beloved wife?"
38019What shall I tell him, what shall I say?
38019What shall we do with him?"
38019What will the end be?"
38019What wrong have I done Lord Beauchamp?"
38019What youse- a tink?
38019When do you depart for the East?"
38019Where are the paddles?
38019Where is Constance?
38019Where is mama?
38019Where is my papa?"
38019Where?
38019Who are you?"
38019Who delivered the letter?
38019Who do you think she can be, eh?
38019Who do you want now?"
38019Who is he?"
38019Who wrote it?
38019Why do n''t you use the paddles?"
38019Why do you think he was my informant?"
38019Why for youse- a ax deeze- a question?"
38019Why not use their''simoleons''to start up again?"
38019Why, what do you know, Sam?"
38019Why?"
38019Will yees come?"
38019Will yees listen, plaise?"
38019Will yees try to think so, dear?"
38019Will you aid me to escape?"
38019Will you be mine?"
38019With a girl''s intuition, she scented something unpleasant, and with a timid and startled look, she faltered:"What-- is it Uncle?"
38019Without accepting the bottle, and seemingly without heeding the remark, Rutley inquired, a bit seriously:"Is the dog on guard?"
38019Without hesitation he mounted the lumber and was immediately accosted by a gruff voice from behind:"Where away now shipmate?"
38019Wo n''t you let me share your trouble?"
38019You can not be Philip Rutley?"
38019You follow me?"
38019You gave me the kiss of''Judas''for ten thousand shekels, eh?"
38019You know I am desperately in love with the orphan?"
38019You received it gratuitously from Beauchamp, did you not?"
38019You will remember?"
38019Your lordship will favor us with your company soon?
38019Yous a lak a me, eh a Daize?"
38019Yous a lak a me, eh, a Daize?"
38019and seeing a boy standing irresolute on the walk, addressed him:"Here boy, do you know what is going on down there?"
38019and then, recovering herself, she repeated doubtfully:"Lord Beauchamp an imposter?"
38019exclaimed Jack, for the first time amazed, and then checking himself, said negligently:"I understood you to say the reward was ten thousand dollars?"
38019joyfully exclaimed Dorothy, for she recognized Virginia''s well- known voice, and sitting up, said:"You''ve come to take me home, have n''t you?"
38019laughed Mrs. Harris,"you want me to dance with you again and Virginia here?"
38019madman, what will you do?"
38019responded Sam, pulling off his coat and looking at his uncle sideways,"stampede the corral, eh, uncle?
38019what does he mean?"
38019what shall I do?"
41177''Spose I say,''Ermine, you no kiell Meester Butler''--he teel me to go to hell, mabeso-- what den?
41177''Un''phwat church did he join?'' 41177 A woman?
41177Ah-- a rim- fire, do you call them? 41177 Ai n''t that yellow handkerchief great?"
41177Am poor sport, hey? 41177 An idea?"
41177And were you injured also?
41177And why is your name Crooked- Bear, which is Indian, while you are white?
41177And, papa, who was that dreadful Indian in the red blanket?
41177Are all soldiers as stupid as you are, my dear sir?
41177Are you alone in the camp? 41177 Boy-- boy-- a boy?"
41177But for what was he coming?
41177But men do n''t carry them, do they?
41177But what has happened? 41177 But, Mr. Ermine, how should I transport my heads back to this point with only one pack- animal?"
41177Can he walk?
41177Can you make the hand talk?
41177Den you waas run away-- hey?
41177Did Mr. Butcher- Knife miss Madam Butcher- Knife?
41177Did he do anything?
41177Did yez obsarve the bie ramove the hat from the lady, and his pony shootin''gravel into our eyes fit to smother?
41177Did you observe that? 41177 Do n''t worry about Ermine, daughter; you would n''t have him rank the Colonel out of quarters, would you?
41177Do you want some shoes?
41177Does every one know of this?
41177Does that go?
41177Does this maiden wish to marry Butler?
41177For Heaven''s sake, Mary, did you bring me my summer underwear?
41177Gone?
41177Good morning, Mr. Harding; how do you find yourself?
41177Has my brother any more talking papers from the yellow- eyes? 41177 Have you blinded your ponies''trail carefully, coming up from the valley?
41177Have you ever been East?
41177Have you ever been to school?
41177Have you ever been to war?
41177Have you it about your person at present?
41177He says dat-- hey?
41177He wanted to marry you?
41177Heads? 41177 How are you mounted?"
41177How did this happen, Corporal?
41177How did you get him, Ermine?
41177How did you leave every one at the camp?
41177How do, Major?
41177How drunk?
41177How foolish; I might give you something for a keepsake which would leave better memories, do you not think so?
41177How was it, Ermine?
41177I gamble it wa''n''t a murder-- that would n''t knock you off''en your horse, jus''to see one-- hey, Dan?
41177I have the pleasure, Miss Searles; have n''t I, Ermine?
41177I know, daughter, but what can you expect? 41177 I say, and who is that stunning chap?"
41177I!--what is I?
41177Is Crooked- Bear an Indian chief?
41177Is he crazy? 41177 Is he presumptuous enough to present you with compliments?
41177Is n''t that foolish? 41177 Is that all, Katherine?"
41177Is that all, mother? 41177 Just what did he say, Butler?"
41177Katherine, what are you thinking of?
41177Killi who? 41177 Like to chase wolves?"
41177May I ask, Mr. Ermine, if you have in your possession a photograph of Miss Searles?
41177Mr. Ermine, will you please carry my parasol for me?
41177My dear man, before daylight? 41177 My, my, papa, did you ever see such beautiful hair as that man Ermine has?"
41177No use of reporting this?
41177No, ma''am, I do n''t care anything about wolves; and why should I care for them?
41177No; what for waas any one been here?
41177Now what has happened, Katherine? 41177 Oh, I say, Miss Searles,"said Shockley, riding up,"may I offer you one of my gauntlets?
41177Oh, only to shake hands with me? 41177 Oh, please, Mr. Butler,"with a deprecating wave of her parasol,"but tell me, are n''t you afraid of them?"
41177Oh, well, what did the Lord make pretty women for?
41177Oh, would you have arranged it that way if you had been playwright?
41177One moon? 41177 Or the Crow squaws?"
41177Pat? 41177 Pity-- pity-- what is pity?"
41177Remember-- remember-- do I remember? 41177 Say, John, what for you waas keep look behin''?
41177See that tent over there?
41177Shall I challenge him?
41177Shall I save it, Miss Searles?
41177Shall I?
41177Shall we go down to the Indian camp and try to buy some ponies, Ermine?
41177The Sioux dealt them to me this morning; will they fill your hand?
41177The devil you say-- Ermine drunk? 41177 The what?
41177Then why do you kill the man she loves?
41177Then why is it wrong for a man among men to want your daughter to be his wife?
41177Very well; we will purchase ponies and other necessaries meanwhile, and will you aid me in the preparations, Mr. Ermine? 41177 Want him alive or dead?"
41177Want to put that pony up for a hundred, Ermine?
41177Want to stay here?
41177Was he angry, and was the Indian who approached you mad?
41177We were side by side when we rushed the point of that hill in the Sitting Bull fight last fall; remember that, Ermine?
41177Well, Katherine,said Mrs. Searles,"did you enjoy your ride?"
41177Well, daughter, what are you going to do with it? 41177 Well, no one knows about it except myself, so do n''t say a word to any one, and do n''t do it again-- sabe?"
41177Well, what do you make of it, anyhow, Dan?
41177Well, where are you sick?
41177What Indians chased you?
41177What are you afraid of, Miss Searles?
41177What are you out for then, pray?
41177What did I do?
41177What do I make of it? 41177 What do you want for going, John Ermine?"
41177What do you want of their heads? 41177 What for you waas come to de King George Man, anyhow?"
41177What good can come of running the legs off the ponies? 41177 What good is a dog''s word?"
41177What happened, Katherine?
41177What has your mother to say? 41177 What heads?"
41177What in the devil is the circus?
41177What is necessary, then? 41177 What is that, brother?"
41177What is your name?
41177What is your name?
41177What then?
41177What was it all about, Mr. Ermine? 41177 What you call jealous?"
41177What''s the circus?
41177What''s the matter with the pony to- day, Ermine? 41177 What''s the matter with you?"
41177What''s up, Ermine?
41177What, ahead of the scouts?
41177What, pray?
41177What? 41177 When do you depart for your hunting with Mr. Harding, Ermine?"
41177When shall we start?
41177When?
41177When?
41177Where did you come from, my boy?
41177Where does this person live?
41177Where has the kid gone?
41177Where is Ermine?
41177Where is Miss Searles, Major?
41177Where is my girl?
41177Where would you propose to go, may I ask?
41177Who are you?
41177Who are you?
41177Who in h---- are you?
41177Who is he?
41177Who is this Sak- a- war- te?
41177Who taught you to speak English?
41177Who was the girl, Ermine?
41177Who was the man you shot?
41177Who was your old comrade, as you call him? 41177 Why ca n''t you have Mr. Ermine removed from that awful scout camp, papa?
41177Why did you kiss me?
41177Why did you not give him the photograph?
41177Why do you say that? 41177 Why does not my son come in with the ponies?"
41177Why is it necessary to break our cattle down by this tremendous scampering? 41177 Why is it, Uncle Ben,"asked Ermine,"that all these men come out here to march, get killed, freeze, and starve?
41177Why must I go to the white people, father? 41177 Why, Mr. Ermine, where is Katherine, and where is the Major?
41177Why, how on earth did you come by this, Mr. John Ermine?
41177Wiell den-- she wiell do eet-- var much,''fraid-- what for she wan kiell dose man Butler? 41177 Will you stay with me?"
41177Would you be willing to take me out? 41177 Would you like to make a gun talk?"
41177Yes, but where is she? 41177 Yes?"
41177You are going to make your word good to Mr. Harding, are you not?
41177You kiell heem-- hey?
41177You waas shoot some one, mabeso?
41177You were not with him when he died? 41177 Your heart warms to the white man, does it not, my son?"
41177--"Is he a square shake or a make- up?"
41177Ai n''t dose Canada- man pay for dese pony-- sacre, what you was do back de camp dare?
41177All this diffidence the public put down to apathy; he had done his duty, so why further concern himself?
41177And now, my boy, may I give you a little advice?"
41177And then, looking at Ermine with a laugh:"Is that blonde there a Crow?
41177And why did you not let him?
41177Are we in such haste?
41177As Ermine started out the next morning Lewis called,"Hey, boy, how did you come to do it?"
41177But the eyes, the eyes, why did they not brood with him as in the picture?
41177Butler?"
41177Butler?"
41177Butler?"
41177By the way, some one was telling me that he carries a medicine- bag with him; is n''t he a Christian?"
41177CHAPTER XV BRINGING IN THE WOLF"Going to follow the dogs to- day, Lewis?"
41177Can I have four or five soldiers to drive them off?
41177Can you do that, Miss Searles?
41177Can you make John Ermine what he was before the steamboat came here, and let him mount his pony and go away?"
41177Can you manage to turn him loose?"
41177Could any Indian do that for you?"
41177Could it be that he would carry a gun which loaded in the middle?
41177Could it be that he would ride on a lion''s skin?
41177De Sioux, she broke hout?"
41177Did I ever lie, Captain Lewis?"
41177Did you ever hear anything so ridiculous?"
41177Did you kill him?"
41177Did you see that we are not friends of the Sioux?"
41177Do n''t you think you Western men cover the ground a little too fast?"
41177Do n''t you think you took an unfair advantage of her father''s absence?"
41177Do the white men mean to take the Sioux lands away from them?
41177Do you dream you are her choice?"
41177Do you give pity with your coffee and sow- belly?
41177Do you hear that, Crooked- Bear, do you hear that?"
41177Do you intend to try your hand on one?
41177Do you remember?"
41177Do you suppose a wolf will be found?
41177Do you think she would marry you?
41177Do you_ habla_ Crow lingo, Señor?"
41177Ermine?"
41177Ermine?"
41177Ermine?"
41177Faith, who''d roon away from a fairy?"
41177Finally he asked:''Un''phware is me ole friend, Dunham?
41177God, God, have you deserted me?"
41177Harding?"
41177Has no one been here?"
41177Have I offended the Indian?
41177Have you seen any Sioux signs?"
41177Having found Lewis at his quarters and seated himself, the Major began,"Now, Captain, what do you think of this Ermine of yours-- is he crazy?"
41177He was free to call at any officer''s quarters on the line, sure of a favorable reception; then why did he not go to Major Searles''s?
41177He was wondering about the boy''s mind; had it become deranged?
41177How are we goin''at this?
41177How many ponies shall we require?"
41177How much money I geet-- hey?"
41177How, pray?"
41177I had done nothing; did he want to kill me?"
41177I never knew there was so much coffee and sugar; where does it come from, father?
41177If you do n''t find him in half an hour, let it go until to- morrow-- understand?
41177Is it just gall, or does he need a physician?"
41177Is that because I have so little money?"
41177Is that what you feed a soldier on?
41177It reached the bloody ring left by the poor mule--"would the d---- Injuns never come?"
41177Mr. Butler, do you expect we shall find a wolf?
41177Mr. Ermine, what are you saying?
41177Now, how''s that strike you?
41177O Sak- a- war- te, why did you not take the snake''s gaze out of her eyes, and not let poor Ermine sit like a gopher to be swallowed?
41177Oh, by the way, what did that awful Indian say to you?
41177Once fastening his quizzical eyes on the white lad, the general asked,"Do you talk Crow?"
41177Patting his chest impressively, Wolf- Voice spoke:"Me?
41177Possibly the ponies had come in, but why not the boy?
41177SHERMAN-- What is Shakespeare?
41177Shall he stay, brothers?"
41177Shockley?"
41177So, gentlemen, what good does it all do?
41177Start a Zoo?
41177That sounds odd, does n''t it?
41177The Absaroke must do as the Crooked- Bear says, brother, or who knows what may happen to us?
41177The Captain grinned and addressed the empty room:--"How would you like to be a millionnaire and have that headache?
41177The buffalo, when they pass once, do not make a deeper path than that, and, brother, what is that in the road which shows so bright?"
41177The gentleman addressed opened wide eyes on his guide and asked in low amazement,"D---- me-- did you?
41177The hermit regarded the picture and ventured,"An officer''s daughter?"
41177The trio went on toward the scout camp, and as they passed a man on foot he inquired of Ferguson,"Where did you get that pair of aces?"
41177Then to John Ermine,"Do you savvy this country, pardner?"
41177Then turning to Ermine,"Do you ever wear shoes?"
41177To a passing comrade he''unloaded'':"Say, Steve, you savvy that blond Injun what was run in here this morning?
41177To this I will add, her father and mother forbid you all association in the future-- do you understand?"
41177Turning to that waif, the general said,"Who are you?"
41177WHO GOES THERE?''"]
41177Wael, we mak''a skin dat las fight, hey, John?"
41177Was it because his hair and his eyes were not the color of other boys''?
41177Was it buffalo, Indians, or soldiers?
41177Were they Sioux?"
41177Were they really wolves, or spirits sent by the Bad Gods to destroy the boy and his horses?
41177What can I do?"
41177What can I possibly do with a wolf?"
41177What do they expect, Crooked- Bear?
41177What do you mean by''standing pat''?
41177What does it matter, however?
41177What does it mean?"
41177What good was come of eet, hey-- why ai n''t you keel him first plass, by Gar?"
41177What have I done?
41177What if he had gone to war, and what if he did have the much- treasured scalp in his possession?
41177What is the matter so far as you can determine?"
41177What must I do?"
41177What of his word?
41177What shall I do?"
41177What shall I do?"
41177What should I remember?
41177What then?"
41177What vanity of his could not yet be satisfied?
41177When the boy awoke, the hermit said,"My son, did you ever make a gun speak?"
41177When the scene had assembled itself, Ermine sat up on the bed, saying,"Where am I?
41177When were the white men coming to the Indian lands?
41177Where am I?
41177Where were you born?"
41177Where would you go?"
41177Who can know what the elder thought of him in return?
41177Who could say one might not appear and grab a laggard?
41177Who did it?"
41177Who goes there?"
41177Who goes there?''"
41177Who have you killed?
41177Who will take the wolf?"
41177Who you''fraid follar dese pony?
41177Why ca n''t he be brought up to some place near here?
41177Why ca n''t we sit down here and smoke?"
41177Why ca n''t you let two men go into the big camp; are all those soldiers afraid of two men?"
41177Why did they arch and laugh and tantalize?
41177Why did we ever go near the creatures?
41177Why did you run away when I clearly told you to stay here?"
41177Why do n''t the government mount them on buffalo ponies, make them eat dried meat, and run after the Sioux instead of taking the villages to war?"
41177Why do you not take Be- Sha''s daughter?
41177Why does n''t he come down and greet me with a glass?''
41177Why for we mak to trouble our head?
41177Why should an Indian warrior lose the use of his right hand for even an instant?
41177Why should the great man want to see White Weasel, who was only a herd- boy?
41177Why was he keeping it?
41177Why, is n''t that enough?"
41177Why, what has he done now?"
41177Why, what should we do if I did?
41177Will she live?"
41177Will they eat me?"
41177Will you give me a fresh one in the morning?
41177Will you go with me and take the boy?
41177Will you go?
41177Will you have a cigar?"
41177Will you take me?"
41177Will you tell me?
41177Will you turn these men over to me for duty, Lieutenant Ferguson?"
41177Wolf- Voice?"
41177Would the search never cease?
41177Would you kindly take us down?"
41177You do n''t remember him?
41177You have Miss Searles; is not that enough?"
41177You will come to our mess for luncheon at noon?"
41177You''spose dey let dose Crow tak de ack- kisr- attah[17] to Crooked- Bear''s boy?
41177[ Illustration:"''WILL YOU PLEASE CARRY MY PARASOL FOR ME?''"]
41177a bag of a squaw, ees eet?"
41177a new thing, Dan?
41177am I to have one?"
41177asked an officer of his''Missis,''as he pointed toward camp;"well, that''s our happy home; how does it strike you?"
41177asked the foster- father of his squaw, but she could only answer,"Why?"
41177back here?"
41177heads?
41177pat?
41177said the miners;"gone whar?"
41177what hit me?"
41177what is a dead man?
41177where is she?"
53885Aleck is safe?
53885An''you wo n''t throw stones at her gulls?
53885And Simon?
53885And never let any other girl kiss you? 53885 And that?"
53885And the other?
53885And then?
53885And we have prayed a long time for your father to come back?
53885And you have n''t any idea what became of Carter?
53885And you''re warm now-- good and warm?
53885And-- you love him?
53885Any?
53885Are you brave enough to hear? 53885 Are you hungry, Peter?"
53885Are you licked?
53885As long as you live?
53885As long as you live?
53885But if I should get sick-- what would you do? 53885 By that you mean Curry will hold me in his power when I reach Five Fingers?"
53885Can you go on alone, Peter?
53885Can you remember your mother, Peter?
53885Can you see?
53885Dad wo n''t come back tonight or tomorrow?
53885Dad, what are they trying to shoot us for? 53885 Did you ever have many prayers answered?"
53885Did you hear anything?
53885Did you, Peter? 53885 Do you like it?"
53885Do you still see her?
53885Does it hurt, dad?
53885Does she look like me-- in your dreams, Peter?
53885Does the creek frighten you, son?
53885Even if it is tomorrow, or the next day?
53885Even if it was the plague?
53885Everything all right?
53885Feeling sick, Peter?
53885Getting hungry?
53885Has anything happened-- to Peter-- or to Donald McRae?
53885Has anything happened?
53885Has it occurred to you how nice it will be if-- in these two years of change you have anticipated-- something has happened to Curry? 53885 He is on the island?"
53885How much?
53885I''m a tub of fat, am I?
53885I''m a windbag, eh? 53885 If I bring Peter down there, under the tree, will you promise not to go away until I have seen you again?"
53885If I do-- will you promise never to kiss any other girl?
53885Is she pretty?
53885Is that you-- Carter?
53885Is your mother with him?
53885Let me kiss you?
53885Never thought the day would come when you''d be lugging your dad around like this, did you, Peter?
53885No?
53885Nor ever?
53885Not afraid, are you?
53885Of course nothing_ will_ happen, Peter, but if it should-- you promise to take that bottle to him?
53885Peter, who rang the bell?
53885So you helped Peter whip that young rascal Aleck Curry, did you?
53885Strange that I''ve let all the years go by without thinking of that, is n''t it? 53885 That was what he promised you-- the day he sent you on alone to Five Fingers, and ran away from you?
53885Then why did you run away from me when I was in the kitchen with Adette Clamart?
53885They ca n''t do anything worse than send me to prison, and if they do that-- would you mind waiting for me,_ Ange_?
53885They did n''t get us, did they, boy? 53885 They''re-- they''re----""What?"
53885Thirsty?
53885This is one, Peter?
53885Want something to eat, lad?
53885Was she pretty?
53885Was that why you touched my hair, Peter?
53885Were you lost?
53885What did I say?
53885What do you think of_ me_?
53885What does it mean?
53885What happened then, Mona?
53885What has happened?
53885What have you been doing?
53885What is it?
53885What is the matter, Peter?
53885What is your name?
53885What luck?
53885What will?
53885What?
53885Where does Simon McQuarrie live?
53885Where you from?
53885Where?
53885Who are you?
53885Who was he?
53885Who?
53885Why did n''t Peter kill him when he had the chance?
53885Why do n''t you want Carter to see us?
53885Why is it so round and glassy, Mona? 53885 Why must n''t Peter know you are here?"
53885Why not?
53885Why should they be, Peter? 53885 Why?"
53885Will I_ what_?
53885Will you like that?
53885Will you?
53885Wo n''t you come down to our place? 53885 Would you have_ me_ Peter''s father?"
53885You are not afraid of dreams, Mona?
53885You are sure it is best?
53885You did n''t mean what you said, then?
53885You do n''t like it?
53885You do_ what_?
53885You have n''t forgotten what I told you about Carter?
53885You have not harmed him?
53885You have to--_what_?
53885You heard me?
53885You like Mona?
53885You like fights?
53885You like flowers, Miss Adele?
53885You like me--_like that_?
53885You mean that?
53885You mean the rock with nothing on it-- two miles straight out from the beaver pond?
53885You mean-- Aleck Curry?
53885You thought of me-- on Christmas?
53885You understand? 53885 You were asleep,_ Ange_--with me bursting my throat to make you hear from the forest?"
53885You''re not afraid, Peter?
53885You-- Peter?
53885_ Why?_He led her back in the willows.
53885_ You!_ What is the matter?
53885A girl- beater, am I?
53885A tub of_ fat_, am I?
53885After a little he said:"Did I hear something, Peter?"
53885After this-- how would you like me to be_ your_ mother?"
53885And do you love Peter enough to help-- me?"
53885And then she added:"Why is it you do n''t want me to think you whipped him?
53885And yet-- what could Simon do?
53885And you will, Aleck-- you will help me, wo n''t you?"
53885And-- Peter-- did he ever tell you about-- his father?"
53885And-- what will happen to Peter?
53885Are n''t you afraid of what may happen next time?"
53885Are you a little excited?"
53885Are you ready?"
53885Are you?"
53885But after that-- what will happen to you?"
53885But we''ve been planning it a long time, have n''t we, Carter?"
53885Could she meet Pierre and Josette Gourdon, and Marie Antoinette, and Father Albanel, and Adette and Jame Clamart-- and not let them see her torture?
53885Death, for instance?"
53885Did you hear the lake?"
53885Do n''t you know why I ran away from Peter that day near Five Fingers, and sent him on to Simon McQuarrie?
53885Do n''t you think I''m nice?"
53885Do you like me, Peter-- really?"
53885Do you think you can kiss me very quickly before they come in?"
53885Do you understand, Mona?"
53885Do you?"
53885Does your eye hurt?"
53885Had Mona really prayed, or had she fooled him?
53885Had Simon already accomplished the thing she feared?
53885Had he said anything about it in his letter to Simon?
53885Have n''t you ever been ashamed of that?"
53885Have n''t you, Adele?"
53885Have you seen Carter?"
53885He tried again, and said:"So Mona found you, and you fought Aleck Curry and whipped him?"
53885How did you know?"
53885I wonder why porcupines like cabin doors and windowsills and axes and table legs when there are so many nice things to eat in the woods?"
53885I wonder-- why?"
53885Instead, she said:"Peter, you have not lied to me?
53885Is his name Peter McRae?"
53885Is n''t that a pretty name, Peter?
53885It was impossible-- now-- to answer that question of Peter''s,"_ What have we done?_"He raised his head, and faced his boy.
53885Nobody can help loving you, can they?"
53885See that log down there, the big dry one, half in the water?"
53885Suddenly he asked,"Did you ever see Mona''s mother?"
53885That is your name, is n''t it-- Peter McRae?"
53885Then he asked,"Have you been asleep, Peter?"
53885Then he asked:"What is Peter going to do?
53885Then he said:"Do you want me to tell you a story, Peter-- a story about another girl like Mona, who lived a long, long time ago?"
53885They want to--_hang him_?"
53885Understand, laddie?
53885Want to go?"
53885Was it because of what he had found on the island?
53885Was it possible Mona really believed he was getting the best of the fight when she began pommeling Aleck Curry with the stick?
53885Was that why he was so anxious to follow Carter, go with him-- get him away from Five Fingers?
53885Was this to be the answer to Mona''s prayer?
53885What can the law do to him?"
53885What did he mean?
53885What did you do to Peter-- when he came to the island?"
53885What does he_ plan_ to do?"
53885What have we done?"
53885What would the days be like-- and the nights-- and the months and years to come without Peter?
53885What would you have done, Peter?"
53885What''s that building down there, with the box- like thing on top of it?
53885When I first saw you, there in the sun, I thought----""What did you think?"
53885When they had left Pierre and were going toward the Gourdon cabin, Peter asked,"What did he mean when he called you_ Ange_?"
53885Where would his father be likely to go?
53885Wherein was he less helpless than herself-- or Peter?
53885Why did n''t Peter kill him?
53885Why do you tell them that?"
53885Why do you think it is so terrible?
53885Why had he sent him on alone to Five Fingers?
53885Why had his father lied to him, promising him he would come back in a day or two?
53885Why had n''t his father gone on to Five Fingers with him?
53885Why was he so slow?
53885Will you come and hear me tomorrow?"
53885Will you forgive me?"
53885Will you promise never to let her kiss you again?"
53885Will you remember that?"
53885With Peter dead or wounded on the island, and Simon gone, what hope was there now for Donald McRae?
53885Without Peter, would God give him strength to live?
53885Wo n''t they be surprised when they come and find us gone-- eh-- Peter?"
53885Would it be safe to return for Mona_ now_?
53885Would it show in her face when she met Carter, of the Provincial Police?
53885Would not a little church look pretty down there, just where the tip of the evergreen forest reaches to the Middle Finger?"
53885Would one of them-- Simon or Peter--_kill Aleck Curry_?
53885Would she be able to go through the day without giving herself away?
53885Would you dare to come and see me?"
53885Would you?"
53885You are n''t afraid to go alone, are you, Peter?"
53885You believe in prayer?"
53885You have never thought that he lied to you that day in the edge of the forest?"
53885You saw us?"
53885You''ve been to school a lot, have n''t you?"
53885_ What had happened to Peter?_ She did not ask the question.
42308Again threatening a visit? 42308 And could not you have done it''just for once''as well?"
42308And did you live at her house?--have you neither father nor mother living?
42308And forgive me now?
42308And how old are you?
42308And is the land we are passing over all one ranch?
42308And may I ask from where this fabulous wealth springs so suddenly?
42308And not for you? 42308 And the other grave-- that with the bones and rocks piled on it?"
42308And the woman?
42308And these flowers, so beautiful,he continued,"will you love them, too?
42308And was there any one in the stage whom you knew?
42308And where is his grave?
42308And who''s to bear me away?
42308And you are going, too?
42308And you came those nine miles all alone, gal?
42308Are you at peace with yourself now, Christine, and satisfied to be mine-- satisfied and happy? 42308 Are you sick, Eva, my child?"
42308Are you speaking of the gentleman from Siskiyou?
42308But, Paul, I ca n''t read in the dark, can I? 42308 But, Si"--the quivering lips could hardly frame the words--"have you been to her cottage?
42308But,said I, impatiently,"where is the settlement you speak of?
42308Can you suggest any post- office in Indiana beginning with M, ending with L, with about four letters between?
42308Can you tolerate me no longer, Nora?
42308Charles Somervale?
42308Charlie?
42308Corporal,said I,"have you Mohrman''s book?"
42308Coyotes, brother Frank; the ghosts do n''t come round this early, do they?
42308Did he pity me when I came home broken- hearted-- repentant?
42308Did it not seem an age since I had parted with the last lady, at Fort Selden?
42308Do n''t let us go farther-- who knows but what we may encounter another bear?
42308Do you really read Heine in the original?
42308Excuse me,he said, with unmistakable Spanish pronunciation;"but you do not live in our Valley-- do you?"
42308Father, why do n''t you correct the boy? 42308 Got any money?
42308Happened?
42308Has the stage come in?
42308Have a cigar, Henry?
42308Here?
42308Hetty,he cried,"are you then so anxious to go-- so unwilling to stay, even for a day, after the school closes?
42308How came she to lose it, then, if it was so precious?
42308How dare you come here? 42308 How did it come to their ears?"
42308How do you, child? 42308 How much do you want for it?"
42308How old are you, Lady Clare?
42308I suppose it is a popular air among the Mexicans?
42308If I obtain your father''s consent to our union at Christmas, will you become mine on New- Year''s day? 42308 Is Master Willie troublesome?"
42308Is Mr. Brodie sick?
42308Is it not beautiful?
42308Is it right that it should be so: that we should be robbed of all that makes life sweet and desirable, by the wicked acts of others? 42308 Is n''t it pretty?"
42308Is she pretty?
42308It is beautiful, is it not?
42308It is not on this ranch, then?
42308Johnny,said Hetty, next morning, on their way to school,"I think-- I''ll go home when vacation begins, and--""Why, what d''you mean?"
42308Laura,_ will_ you stop crying just for two seconds, and listen to what I have to say?
42308May I come in?
42308May I go with you?
42308Meaning me or the ranch?
42308My dear child, did I stay out late? 42308 My fur sack?"
42308Nonsense, child,said Mrs. Wardor;"what would the young gentleman coming with your father think, to see a school- girl loaded down with diamonds?
42308Not even if that mythical uncle in the Indies had come home?
42308Now what do you say?
42308Phil,said I, interrupting him,"you told me the mules would not get a drop of water to- day: what is that lake before us, then?"
42308Shall we walk up toward the garden?
42308She has n''t come?
42308Sure, ma''am, and is it his prayer- book the poor b''y wants? 42308 That air?
42308That song? 42308 That''s your notion of what''s right, is it?
42308The boy, children-- have you all forgotten about the boy? 42308 The wretched man I followed?
42308Then Crabtree is in command of the company; or has Captain Howell been relieved? 42308 Then none of my letters have ever reached you?
42308Then why not send for him?
42308Then you have brought a man?
42308Then you know it, Phrony?
42308Then your life has been made a wreck, as well as my own, Eva?
42308There are more men to be sent out to- night?
42308To look for the Hidden Mine of the Padres? 42308 To the city?"
42308Tobacconist? 42308 Well, well, was n''t that the best I could do for them?"
42308Well?
42308What do you want to be quarrelling to- day for, Tom?
42308What does she want?
42308What if they should try to take my little girl away before I come back-- would she go off and leave me?
42308What is it?
42308What is it?
42308What kind of a man is Captain Arnold?
42308What makes you so sad, Christine? 42308 What poor fellow-- and where is he?"
42308What pretty speeches,Lola tossed her head mockingly;"did you learn them from Miss Angelina Stubbs?"
42308What will you do about it?
42308What''s that?
42308What-- Tucson?
42308What? 42308 Where did you learn it?
42308Where is Lola?
42308Where? 42308 Where?"
42308Where_ did_ you get it?
42308Who did that?
42308Who knows but I shall be a rich man yet before I claim you? 42308 Why did Brother Ray let you come out here alone?"
42308Why did you do it?
42308Why do n''t somebody claim this delightful country?--why do n''t people in the army resign, and own mines, and settle down here to live?
42308Why do you keep the light burning till twelve in the night, then?
42308Why not accept my offer, Jim? 42308 Why, Lola darling, what has happened?
42308Why, how''s that?
42308Why, then, did you go from me? 42308 Why?"
42308Wie sagten Sie, Fräulein? 42308 With you into the bargain?"
42308Wonder if the boy thinks Lolita is coming through the storm to watch the old year out with him?
42308Wonder what Angelina Stubbs will wear?
42308Would she be kind enough just for once to help with the cake? 42308 Would you want me to keep the windows and shutters open, so as to let the mosquitoes come in and devour us?"
42308Yes, dear; did n''t you see how he kept his eyes fixed on Mrs. Clayton, before he turned away when he saw us laughing?
42308Yes?
42308Yes?
42308You have a sister?
42308You learned that song in New Mexico?
42308You like our Valley?
42308You miserable man,she cried, beside herself,"is it not enough that you blasted my life''s happiness?
42308You wanted to know who taught me the song? 42308 You went out with the major this morning, did you not, Tarleton?"
42308You will stay here till I return, Leonora?
42308A deep scarlet overspread his sallow face, while Mrs. Clayton said,"Oh, will you carry the bottle for me?
42308A little scream, and Miss Myrick-- for it was she-- asked of Lola, who stood white and ghostly in the doorway,"Is that your mother, Lola?
42308After you told Miss Angelina about your vow?"
42308All I have wanted and prayed for is a home and an honored name; it is within my reach now; why should I let an idle dream stand in my way?"
42308Alone?
42308And have you not wanted often to go back to the city?"
42308And how?
42308And is n''t my word good for a fur sack?"
42308And should some other woman be happier than she?
42308And the red- headed one will go next month?"
42308And was this he, offering the flowers with all the courtliness and easy self- possession of the gentleman?
42308And, was it not Abby with whom you were seen riding?"
42308Annie, do you not know me?"
42308Are you in love, my dear boy?--or what hath wrought this change?"
42308Are you sure?
42308Are you the new school- marm?
42308Are you thinking of his displeasure at not finding his Barbara an Arabella Goddard?"
42308Before retiring for the night, we debated the question: Should we remain the next day at Fort----, or proceed on our journey?
42308Ben, did n''t I tell yer to stay in the house, and I''d fetch yer the water?"
42308Bending low over her white fingers one day, he asked,"And how long was Mr. Rutherford blessed with the possession of this most sweet hand?"
42308But Frank, with quickly altered tone, asked softly,"Do you like it so well, Hetty-- really and truly?
42308But could the pale, quiet woman ever have known the deep, intense feeling, or the heartfelt, open joyousness that spoke from her daughter''s eyes?
42308But how came the red berries on this one?
42308But what have I to do with that boy?
42308But what was he?
42308But where are the girls?
42308But who can blame Charlie for declining to go?
42308But why should that make you look so serious?
42308Can I do anything for you?"
42308Clayton?"
42308Could he have struck one of his sisters?"
42308Could her heart be growing envious of the girl?
42308Could n''t you hold out as long as your master?
42308Could she recall him?
42308Did you come down this way to live on a ranch?"
42308Did you see all the passengers?"
42308Did you sit up to wait for me?"
42308Do n''t you like to stand in it?"
42308Do n''t you think so?"
42308Do you accept it?"
42308Do you already doubt your love for me, or the strength to assert it?"
42308Do you know him, uncle?"
42308Do you like it?"
42308Does your heart fail?
42308From the tone of the letter, it is plainly to be seen that he lives where the letter was mailed-- but where was it mailed?
42308Going to the governor''s house, probably; but who can they be?"
42308Golly, ai n''t it nice here?"
42308Good gracious, madam, are you sick?
42308Had ever the foot of devout Catholic pressed this rocky, thorny ground?
42308Had his ear caught the sound?
42308Had not the stage- driver just such a long, tawny moustache?
42308Had she not bartered away her peace when she ruthlessly deserted the man she loved?
42308Had she not looked into these eyes before?
42308Had she only dreamed of the white, well- shaped hand?
42308Had she then betrayed her heart''s secret to these two foolish, giggling things?
42308Had you so little faith in me, so little love for me, that you could make no effort to see me?
42308Has he refused to enjoy his long pipe, or has he regaled you with a longer account than usual of his son-- Hans, I think, you said his name was?"
42308Have you been at Mohawk Station, and do you know how the house is built?"
42308Have you come to stay, vagabond and rover?
42308He was silent a moment, busying himself with his cigar; then he continued;"Where is Celeste?
42308He''ll be good to her; and what''s the harm to anybody?
42308Here, Johnny, how d''ye like your teacher?"
42308His lips worked spasmodically for an instant; then he asked resolutely, but in an almost inaudible tone,"Did not_ she_ come back, Si?
42308How could I let the little thing go?
42308How had it come there?
42308How in the world did you get here, and where is your mother?"
42308How lonely he looks; is he waiting for any one, I wonder?"
42308How long do you want me to tolerate you, then?"
42308How will Tom receive the information, when he gets up this morning, that you have not paid him the attention to remain home for one day, at least?"
42308How_ could_ any one live here and be happy?
42308I asked him why he stopped the ambulance, and allowed the mules to rest at so unusual an hour in the day?
42308I asked, with pain and anger struggling in my heart;"which of you little brutes killed the poor, harmless thing?"
42308I had not asked you to look, you know; but will you go to her room now, and see if she has not come back?"
42308I wonder if we shall be afraid?"
42308Is Mr. Muldweber really sinking as fast as Mrs. Wardor thinks?"
42308Is n''t this dress pretty?"
42308Is there anything in music, in painting, in poetry, that can bring before eyes that have never beheld it, the passing beauty of such a scene?
42308Is there nothing-- is there no one here you regret to leave behind you?"
42308It_ was_ fun, was n''t it, though?
42308Looking up with shy eagerness, she almost said below her breath,"And Lolita?"
42308Must I be dragged down to the very lowest degradation with you?
42308Must we submit?
42308Now came the difficulty; for the refractory mules would not listen to the"Ho, there, Kate; be still-- will you?"
42308Now, is n''t this sunshine delightful for December?"
42308Now, what mought be about the price of one like that, Mr.--what did you say the gentleman''s name was?"
42308Of what mission was it a gift of love and remembrance?
42308Oh, Charlie,"she added, in changed, softened tones,"what would your mother say to all this?"
42308Oh, Nora, how can any one be unhappy with flowers to tend, and a home to keep?"
42308Oh, is he dead?"
42308Oh, saints of heaven, protect us?"
42308Oh, wo n''t it be jolly, though?"
42308Old Bingham--""Old Bingham,"interrupted Mr. Wheaton, purple in the face;"and the name of the mine?"
42308On this occasion he had Lola called into the room, and demanded sternly of her why she had refused the hand and fortune of Hiram Watson?
42308Or had it come from one of those California Missions, where the priests to this day read masses to the descendants of the Mission Indians?
42308Poor Charlie?
42308Presently, a hoarse, unsteady voice reached her ear:"Where did you learn that air?
42308See?"
42308She did all she could to make the days pass pleasantly; but what can you do in a small town when you have neither carriage nor horses?
42308She drew back, hurt and abashed, and when George asked--"But, Dora, do n''t you like your finery?
42308She pointed to my trunk, and said her husband was crazy to know whether there was a waterfall in it?
42308She shall die-- and he?
42308She shrank from him; had any one seen them?
42308Sprechen Sie Deutsch?"
42308Such a night as this, too, when--""What''s that?"
42308That is not so, however-- or do you too blame me for being a stage- driver?"
42308The clang of those cavalry trumpets is horrible, is n''t it; cuts right through your head, do n''t it?"
42308The stepfather and aunt had spoken of pulling up stakes soon, but what wonder that Dora was averse to going?
42308Then Lola ventured to ask,"Are you speaking of Mr. Watson the tobacconist?"
42308Then why are those tears in your eyes?"
42308Then why make myself wretched over it?"
42308Then, warming up suddenly, he went on, in a tone of bitter reproach:"And you have married one of these poor girls?
42308Then, with a touch of sarcasm in his voice, he asked,"And yours?"
42308To San Francisco?"
42308Was Don Pedro near?
42308Was it a spirit conjured up by the flood of memories surging through her breast that stood before her?
42308Was it not better with her than with us-- with me-- who must still wander forth again, out into the snow, and the cold, and the night?
42308Was it not the peace of Juanita''s soul she was seeking to restore?
42308Was it not well with the soul just gone to rest?
42308Was n''t there something stirring in the tree there?"
42308Was there another being among these all as lonely as she?
42308Was there nothing left of the old material of the dashing, death- daring Rifles?
42308Was this really a Medusa on which he looked?
42308Was_ that_ what had made the house look so dark and changed?
42308Well, was it not romantic, after all, to marry the dark- eyed Don, with the haughty bearing and the enormous wealth?
42308What became of her?"
42308What cared she?
42308What d''ye say?"
42308What do you wish for?"
42308What is it the Bible, or some other good book says--''let not your angry passions rise?''
42308What is the price you ask?"
42308What need to make many words?
42308What should I have done without you two?
42308What was it that turned his little beating heart and his puny white face to stone all at once?
42308What was life to her with the light and warmth gone out of it?
42308What was to be done?
42308What would life be without you, Graciosa?"
42308When he had reached the door the sick man said,"You are not mad, Si, are you?
42308Where did you have your eyes this morning?"
42308Where?
42308Who can tell how rumor travels?
42308Who could tell?
42308Who taught you the song?"
42308Who taught you?"
42308Who''s been vexing you?"
42308Whom had they belonging to them?
42308Why should we ever part?
42308Why should_ you_ have luck?"
42308Why?"
42308Will he never stop dreaming and chasing after shadows?"
42308Will you assist me in carrying out this romantic idea?"
42308Wonder if papa will ever give me the solitaire he promised me?"
42308Would it not be more fitting to visit our quarters, if he felt constrained to comply with the etiquette of the garrison?"
42308Would you go and leave me here alone, when you know how lonesome I should be without you?"
42308Would you kill him?
42308_ HETTY''S HEROISM._"But, father, you do n''t really mean to watch the old year out, do you?
42308and will you marry me?"
42308and"How would I like living here-- the only lady in this wilderness-- without quarters, without comforts of any kind?"
42308asked Clara, innocently;"or does he not know where to find him?"
42308asked Clara;"is your aged_ protégé_ more depressed than usual this morning?
42308asked the major;"or do you see anything that frightens you?"
42308did he refuse that valuable information in regard to the resources of California?"
42308have you come at last?"
42308he laughed;"I could n''t make you see that owl this morning, could I?"
42308how many weeks ago?
42308she asked;"have I been asleep?
42308she continued, full of sympathy;"is he so beastly drunk?
42308she has much sorrow in her heart,"and aloud he said:"You are homesick, Leonora?"
42308that black- faced Spaniard?"
42308upon which she had turned sharply and said, snappishly,"Would I be away up here all alone if I had a husband?"
42308what has happened?"
42308what have you done?
42308what made you take my chile away from me?"
42308where would a woman come from this time o''night, and not a house within miles of us?"
42308why did n''t you let me go with my chile?"
42308why should stern reality be so bitter?
5895Afraid of me?
5895Ah, Kazan, what in the name of the saints is that?
5895Am I pretty, Mélisse?
5895And NOW what do you think of your Jean de Gravois?
5895And NOW what if Jan Thoreau still feels that the curse is upon him?
5895And did you ever see me run any faster?
5895And if there was business to do-- important business, m''sieur, would it not be best to go to Le Commissionaire?
5895And mine?
5895And not for a friend?
5895And not here?
5895And that-- is all?
5895And then-- what?
5895And they would do business there-- important business?
5895And were you sorry I ran away from you?
5895And will they take me?
5895And you are going back into the south?
5895And you-- I will find you again?
5895And-- and Jean de Gravois, the chief man?
5895Are you going so soon, Jan?
5895Are you growing old, too, Jan?
5895Boy, wo n''t you tell me who you are, and why you came that night?
5895But I say, Mélisse--"Are the dogs ready?
5895Can you blame him, Jean? 5895 Could it happen?"
5895Did I not say that Jan had waited too long?
5895Did she send you?
5895Do I?
5895Do n''t you understand? 5895 Do you know that you are beautiful?"
5895Do you mean that, Jan Thoreau? 5895 Do you play much?"
5895Do you suppose she would begin in French?
5895Do you think I was?
5895Do you think so, Brother Jan?
5895Ees she not ceevilize?
5895Even the things you played when I was a baby?
5895For me alone, Iowaka?
5895For who you fight at ze Great Bear?
5895For who you fight at ze Great Bear?
5895For who you fight?
5895Gravois, will you shake hands with me?
5895Great Heaven, what is the matter?
5895Has MacVeigh put in his new trap- line?
5895Has anything come between you and Jan?
5895Have you drunk any other than mine since years ago at Churchill and York Factory?
5895Have you forgotten, Jan Thoreau? 5895 He is not going-- to leave-- the post?"
5895How could I ever get tired with you watching me run, Mélisse?
5895How do you know, brother?
5895How is Mrs. Gravois, and the little Gravois-- and Mélisse?
5895How is it?
5895How long has the red flag been up?
5895I ca n''t imagine how a girl would look with golden hair; can you, Jan?
5895I can''t-- unless--"What, m''sieur?
5895I see it? 5895 If one might have the oath broken, and not do it himself, what then?"
5895Into the South, m''sieur?
5895Is it because you are afraid that Mélisse will like him?
5895Is it not beautiful, my Iowaka?
5895Is n''t it a glorious morning, Jan? 5895 Is n''t that the way we have played it ever since I can remember?
5895Is she not worth it?
5895Is this not the glorious world, with the sun just rising off there, and spring only a few days away? 5895 It means that one will be for ever damned unless he confesses to a priest soon after, does n''t it ma chérie?
5895It was a long time ago, was n''t it?
5895Jan Thoreau, what if I should break my oath-- and tell Mélisse?
5895Jean de Gravois wonders if Jan Thoreau understands?
5895Jean, would n''t you do as I am doing? 5895 Looks like a fight, does n''t it, Jan?
5895M''sieur, how far have you gone-- WITH HER?
5895NOW what do you think of him, my beautiful one?
5895Never, Jean?
5895Now do you understand?
5895Now what do you think of me, brother Jan?
5895Over the Nelson House trail?
5895Shall I give you my best wishes, Jan Thoreau? 5895 Shall I strike a light, m''sieur?"
5895She will soon be a woman, did you say, Jan Thoreau? 5895 Signify-- what?"
5895Since when, Mélisse?
5895Some day I will do a great deal more for you than that, Mélisse, and then--"What?
5895Tell me, why?
5895Tell me-- tell me--he heard Dixon pant eagerly,"did she send you to hunt for me, Thoreau?"
5895That I love him?
5895That is what my people believe, Jean; and if I have given my soul to you, why should I not break oath for you?
5895That was your sledge-- out there?
5895The officers of the great company are at Winnipeg, and Le Commissionaire, are they not, m''sieur?
5895Then you would have taken up with some foreigner if I had remained in the Athabasca country another year or two?
5895They are all beautiful over there?
5895To- day is your birthday, Jan-- yours and mine, mine and yours-- and we will always have it that way-- always-- won''t we, Jan?
5895Was it not right for me to break my oath to the Blessed Virgin and tell Mélisse why Jan Thoreau had gone mad? 5895 Was n''t that the night we heard the wolves howling behind us?"
5895What are you fighting about, Gravois? 5895 What are you going to do to- day, Jan?"
5895What camps, m''sieur?
5895What did you mean, Jan Thoreau, by running away from me like that?
5895What if Iowaka had been here then?
5895What if the birds tell him what happened out there on the trail?
5895What is it?
5895What is this?
5895What?
5895When Mélisse is a little older, should we not go with her into the South?
5895Where are you going-- from here?
5895Which will it be? 5895 Who are they?"
5895Why are you going away the day after to- morrow-- two weeks before the others? 5895 Why have you been crying?"
5895Why?
5895Will you care for the dogs, Henri?
5895Will you have breakfast with me?
5895Will you stay with the little Mélisse and me?
5895Will you take me with you?
5895Will you take me?
5895Will you wait a moment?
5895Wo n''t you play for me, Jan?
5895You come from Churchill?
5895You did not see it?
5895You have been there?
5895You have never been down before?
5895You hear the music in the skies-- now, my Mélisse?
5895You saw it?
5895You swear it?
5895You were glad that I pummeled the stranger, then?
5895You will come to supper, Jan?
5895You will never tell what you read in the papers?
5895You would n''t run as fast for me now, would you?
5895Ah, would he ever forget that look?
5895And NOW do you understand why I did not tell Mélisse of this letter, ma chérie?
5895And after that-- after he had done this thing, what would there remain in life for Jan Thoreau?
5895And besides, do you not suppose that Jan would like to see ME?"
5895And did I not follow the trail that staggered down the mountain, while Iowaka brought you back to life?
5895And did n''t she HATE the Englishman all of the time?
5895And did not Mélisse do as I told that fool of a Jan that she WOULD do?
5895And did you ever see hair that shines so, like the top- feathers of a raven who''s nibbling at himself in the hottest bit of sunshine he can find?
5895And if she is not a woman at thirty, with two children-- God send others like them!--when will she be, I ask you?"
5895And if there is no priest nearer than four hundred miles, it is a dangerous thing to do, is it not?
5895And what will you do when I get to be a woman, Jan-- which will be very soon, you say?"
5895And when I came to it, was it not the dead body of the missioner from Churchill?
5895And when I came to the lake, did I not see something black out upon it, like a charred log?
5895Before he could answer she added mischievously:"Did you see any fairies at Churchill or York Factory?"
5895Blessed saints, man, but is she not growing more beautiful every day?"
5895Can you not speak, my raven- haired angel?"
5895Did n''t you come from there, or there, or there?"
5895Did you ever see a figure like that, Jan Thoreau?
5895Did you know that he was going to Nelson House?"
5895Do brothers love their sisters less as they grow older?"
5895Do you mean to give the knife- challenge to one who has staked his life for you and who loves you as a brother?"
5895Do you not believe that about the sins of the fathers falling upon others?
5895Do you remember when you last cut my hair?"
5895Do you suppose we''ll ever go to Churchill together, Jan, and ride on a wonderful ship like that?"
5895Do you understand, boy?
5895Do you understand, m''sieur?
5895Do you wish me to take back what I gave to you then?"
5895Does any one know but you and me?"
5895Does it signify?"
5895Eh, Jan Thoreau?"
5895Eh?
5895Faintly she said:"I''ve kept your dinner for you, Jan. Why did n''t you come sooner?"
5895God in Heaven, can you not guess what happened, m''sieur?
5895Good God, do n''t you understand?"
5895Has he told you more?"
5895He straightened like a spring and turned, to Jan."Did you meet the strange team?"
5895How long did you travel before you made this camp?"
5895I say, what better could there be than that?"
5895I wonder what bad spirit has come into my Jean?"
5895If there is anything Jean de Gravois can do?"
5895If you don''t--""Why?"
5895Is it a crime up here to kiss a pretty girl?"
5895Is it larger than the city that is called Winnipeg?"
5895Is n''t that fair?"
5895Is n''t there room for two?"
5895It was silly, was n''t it?"
5895Jan Thoreau is no-- what you call heem?"
5895Jan, have you seen my new lynx- skin cap?"
5895M''sieur, am I right?
5895Mon Dieu, what can a man do to make himself great in the eyes of his wife?"
5895SOMETHING sent you-- SOMETHING-- don''t you understand?
5895Shall I open the door so that we can hear it better?"
5895Shall we hurry back, Mélisse, and see if he has brought our books and violin- strings?"
5895Should he warn Jean de Gravois that a company officer was investigating the disappearance of the missionary?
5895Sloughing in the trail, bleeding at every foot, would they still drag their burden beyond the reach of his vengeance?
5895The one with golden hair?"
5895The stranger sat down in the chair next to Jan."From the camps?"
5895Under his breath he whispered, as he made pretense of looking at Jan''s hand:"Le diable, do you want to tell HIM?"
5895Was it not right, I say?
5895Was it the blessed angels coming for his Mélisse?
5895Was n''t that strange?"
5895Was that an echo he heard?
5895What better than that, eh?
5895What do you say to going back with me, Jan?"
5895What do you say, Mélisse?"
5895What do you think of your Jean de Gravois and his country now?"
5895Whom have you out from Lac Bain?"
5895Why ca n''t you forget?"
5895Why could not he go to school for Mélisse, and store up treasures which in time he might turn over to her?
5895Why did n''t you sleep until breakfast was ready?"
5895Why is it, do you suppose?"
5895Will it be right?"
5895Will you come?"
5895Will you help me with this?"
5895Will you take the bag, or will you never again come back to Lac Bain?"
5895Would n''t you have done as much for Iowaka?"
5895Would the dogs beat him out?
5895Would you do that much again?"
5895You are sure that you would break oath for none but me?"
5895You have been here-- all night?"
5895You make the best coffee in the world, Mélisse?"
5895You remember?"
5895You saw-- Cummins-- the factor?"
5895cried Jan."Mon Dieu, m''sieur-- does she not love you?"
30113A party call-- after all this time, Jim?
30113A party call?
30113A third?
30113After he had-- struck him senseless?
30113An''--an''--you got that gold?
30113An''this trail?
30113An''when you find it?
30113And Elia? 30113 And did you?"
30113And no congratulations? 30113 And supposing it''s as you say-- and you found out?"
30113And that gold-- in Barnriff? 30113 And the first sacrifice for that love you refuse?"
30113And then?
30113And then?
30113And then?
30113And then?
30113And what of it? 30113 And what were you fellows doing in my house?"
30113And what''s my thoughts to do with quitting a sinking ship?
30113And who in thunder- are you to interfere?
30113And would you believe it, girls?
30113And you come right into the village, wher''your flavor was mighty strong, to tell us he was dead?
30113And you did n''t give him away? 30113 And you''re going to try and make her-- happy?"
30113And you-- you have n''t?
30113And-- does she love you?
30113Annie?
30113Another?
30113Are n''t you going to tell them, laddie? 30113 Are you going now?"
30113Been in the saddle all day?
30113But how can I''stand by''with Will-- her husband?
30113But this omen for Eve----?
30113But what has brought you into town, Jim?
30113But when you do?
30113But why do you want to track him?
30113But your sister? 30113 But-- but it''s not much, is it?"
30113But-- but you didn''t-- kill him?
30113Ca n''t I stay-- an''watch you?
30113Ca n''t something be done? 30113 Ca n''t you get an advance from''em?"
30113Ca n''t you hear? 30113 Can you-- suggest----?"
30113DEAR EVE,Has Elia returned home?
30113Did I? 30113 Did he?
30113Did she tell you, sis? 30113 Did you come straight back here?"
30113Did you kill him?
30113Do you get me? 30113 Do you hear, laddie?
30113Do you think so?
30113Do you want a hanging, lads?

30113Have you seen Will to- day?
30113He has straightened up, has n''t he? 30113 Here,"he said almost sternly,"can you walk?"
30113Here?
30113Him? 30113 How can I understand when you talk like that?
30113How did it happen?
30113How did they finish?
30113How did you do it? 30113 How did you see him?"
30113How do you know?
30113How far are we from Barnriff?
30113How is she?
30113How long''s he been gone?
30113How much are you givin''?
30113How much money have you got, Eve?
30113How much?
30113How much?
30113How''d it happen? 30113 How''s that?"
30113How''s the''AZ''s''?

30113I come in jest after he''d gone out, an''----"Found-- this?
30113I s''pose he means the gold business?
30113I said''how much?''
30113I want those thirty dollars, d''you understand?
30113I-- I do n''t understand,she declared,"what has that----?"
30113In for a-- vacation?
30113Is this bluff-- or straight business?
30113It''ll bear my weight?
30113It''s a quarter of a mile, is n''t it?
30113It''s not your own doin''?
30113It''s you who spend your time killing the chickens? 30113 Jest in from the''AZ''s''?"
30113Jim Thorpe was there, eh? 30113 Jim, ca n''t you try to forget things where he''s concerned?
30113Jim,he said gently,"about those horses----""Guess you wo n''t need them now?"
30113Kind of slack, are n''t you?
30113Knew what?
30113Meanin''Annie?
30113Nothing? 30113 Now, see here, which would you rather do, get that gold-- an''there''s plenty; it comes right through here to Barnriff-- or see Will hang?"
30113Oh, Peter, what''s to be done? 30113 Oh, you''re squealing, now, eh?
30113Peter knows, eh? 30113 Peter, ca n''t you tell me?"

30113Say, how long you been here?

30113Say, the sun''s hurt you some, boys, has n''t it?
30113Say, you figgered to hand me over to the rope, eh? 30113 Schemes?
30113See here,Jim went on, with a great show of enthusiasm,"do you know this river?
30113Seems to me it''s fer you to see if that iron fits, an'', if so-- why?
30113Seen Thorpe?
30113Seen him? 30113 Seen him?"
30113Shall I light a lamp?
30113Shall I?
30113She sent you, eh?
30113So I''m up against it?
30113So Jim Thorpe''s helped in this?
30113So that''s it, eh?
30113So that''s it, is it? 30113 So, I''ve caught you, my lad, have I?"
30113Sorry?
30113Take him? 30113 Tell me, Peter, what do you think could have happened to Elia?
30113That hurts too, eh?
30113That you, Peter?
30113The boy has asked you, then?
30113The omen? 30113 Then he did-- kill him?"
30113Then it''s real serious, lad?
30113Then she did n''t give you this pretty yarn?
30113Then what''s become of the money?
30113Then why are you lookin''for more?
30113Then you-- you did n''t get lost?
30113Then, wot''s this I''ve heerd about Jim? 30113 Then?
30113There''s something else, eh?
30113They won''t-- won''t hang me?

30113Trouble?
30113Two months, eh?
30113Wal?
30113Was there ever a better omen for the poor dear? 30113 We go on with this sinking?"
30113Well, Doc,he said,"how much?"
30113Well, Eve?
30113Well, what are you waitin''for?
30113Well? 30113 Well?

30113What d''you want?
30113What did he tell you not to do?
30113What do I want your money for, but to try and make more with it? 30113 What do you mean?"
30113What do you think of it?
30113What for d''you stop me? 30113 What for you want to save him?"
30113What for?
30113What ha''ye got to say t--he jerked a thumb in the direction of the bunk house--"that feller''s yarn?"
30113What is it, dear?
30113What is it?
30113What is it?
30113What makes you ask?
30113What pay are you making, Will?
30113What wer''you doin''out by that bluff?
30113What you going to do?
30113What''s all this?
30113What''s it got to do with it?
30113What''s the other?
30113What''s this I hear, Peter?
30113What''s your game?
30113What''s your game?
30113When are you gettin''married, Eve?
30113When are you getting married, Eve?
30113When did you get in?
30113Wher''are they now?
30113Wher''d''ye keep your brands?
30113Wher''you goin''?
30113Where are they?
30113Where are you thinking of?
30113Where did you say he was?
30113Where to?
30113Where''ll I find Restless?
30113Where''s Elia? 30113 Where''s he working?"
30113Where?
30113Which way?
30113Who says to stop? 30113 Who''s bin here, sis?"
30113Who''s dead? 30113 Who''s deserting a sinking ship-- where''s the sinking ship?"
30113Who?
30113Whose choice?
30113Why do n''t you wash it?
30113Why not leave the house until toward the end of the two years? 30113 Why not?"
30113Why not?
30113Why should Elia be ill?
30113Why-- what do you mean?
30113Will he?
30113Will it do?
30113Will you come, boy? 30113 Will-- Will was here last night?"
30113Wo n''t you wait for Will? 30113 Wot set you thinkin''?"
30113Wot?
30113Yes, yes?
30113Yes? 30113 Yes?"
30113You are n''t damp, or-- or anything? 30113 You are n''t hurt too bad, are you?
30113You are such friends, dear, that I wanted to ask you-- Do you know why he came to see me?
30113You are?
30113You came because she sent you? 30113 You found the color o''gold, an''the ledge o''quartz in each o''them holes, ai n''t you?"
30113You goin''to home, Doc? 30113 You got dollars in heaps?"
30113You had the Doc to him?
30113You hate him because of that night-- about the chickens?
30113You hate me, eh?
30113You kind of made it up on your own?
30113You love Eve?
30113You love her, yet you will not help her to happiness?
30113You love her?
30113You love her?
30113You mean the-- cattle stealing?
30113You mean-- you can get no work?
30113You saw him?
30113You think so, Annie?
30113You told him that-- you-- you? 30113 You told them what Will was doing?
30113You tried to-- to save him?
30113You were-- expecting him?
30113You wo n''t leave McLagan''s then?
30113You''d be a man only they wo n''t let you, eh? 30113 You''re coming out there, Jim Thorpe,"he said deliberately,"or you''ll hand over your guns, and----""Consider myself under your arrest, eh?"
30113You''re goin''to marry Will? 30113 You''re going to take the warning?"
30113You''ve come straight in?
30113You-- you accused of cattle stealing? 30113 You?"
30113''Tain''t him now?"
30113A good God who permits such a fate to pursue a man?
30113A matter of two hundred yards?
30113After all things do n''t much count, do they?
30113Ai n''t that elegant?
30113An''when we''ve sure got''em wot''ll we do with''em, you ast?
30113An''when you put it, who''s got to get busy answerin''?
30113And Jim?
30113And d''you think I''m going to stand for him now?"
30113And having found it you ca n''t blame him for not letting folks into the secret-- eh?"
30113And he did this?"
30113And how did I change''em?
30113And is he supposed to be with Peter now?"
30113And so I said, right out before all the boys,''Wot for do you allus come hangin''around our shack?
30113And that-- is really what you feel?"
30113And then, what would be the use?
30113And what was there afterward?
30113And when he should find it, what then?
30113And who''s to say that you and he did n''t do the mischief?
30113And why did he not speak?
30113And why?
30113And you''ve hurt him-- to marry Will?"
30113Are n''t you going to tell them all you''ve told me-- and save Jim?"
30113Are they going right?
30113Are you alone?"
30113Are you goin''to let him get away?
30113Are you goin''to?"
30113Are you going to have that gold?"
30113Are you going to help Eve, Jim?"
30113Besides, how could he be in Barnriff and the hills at the same time?
30113Besides, what else was there to do?
30113Better than scratching around, eh?
30113Bluff, eh?
30113Buck the game afresh?"
30113But how-- how to get word to him?
30113But how?
30113But now?
30113But say,"he asked sharply,"why did n''t you speak of''em before?"
30113But then, how should she?
30113But what''s the odds?
30113But you wo n''t say a word about it, will you?
30113But, Elia, tell me you-- you did n''t meet Will?"
30113But-- but what are you going to do now?
30113But-- but why do n''t you kill him?"
30113But-- but you have n''t told Doc?"
30113But-- but-- you''ll be secret, wo n''t you, dear?
30113Ca n''t you make up your mind to get on with him right when he comes back?
30113Ca n''t you see his suffering?
30113Ca n''t you try to forget that shooting match and its result?
30113Ca n''t you, laddie?"
30113Ca n''t you, outwardly at least, make things up with him?
30113Ca n''t you?
30113Can I have it?"
30113Can you beat it?
30113Can you hear them?
30113Clear himself at the expense of the one woman in the world he loved?
30113Could he ever forget it?
30113Could n''t we drive faster?"
30113D''ye know who?
30113D''you get me?
30113D''you git that?
30113D''you git that?
30113D''you git that?
30113D''you think he would n''t know Jim Thorpe?"
30113Did I call Abe''s attention to it?
30113Did I hear any mangy son- of- a- coyote guess he did n''t believe no such guarantee?
30113Did Jim tell them it was to save Elia?
30113Did ever one hear of a man blaming himself when things went wrong?
30113Did not everybody know that head, bent so deliberately on one side?
30113Did she tell you your Will was dead?
30113Did you pay it beforehand, or do you reckon to pay it before they hang him?
30113Did you see?
30113Do I know print?
30113Do I need to ask sensible men such as you if any sane rustler is going to do the things which you''re trying to say Jim Thorpe did?
30113Do n''t guess you made much of a''strike''in that layout?"
30113Do n''t we?
30113Do n''t you see, dear, that I want to make you happy, that I want to help you?
30113Do we need more?
30113Do you get it now?"
30113Do you get my meaning?"
30113Do you know any one that Jim would be likely to give his life for?
30113Do you know anything more?"
30113Do you know what they do to cattle- thieves?
30113Do you know why Peter wants----?"
30113Do you know, Jim came to ask me to marry him?
30113Do you know, when I was riding up to you just now I was looking for a sign of suspicion in your eyes?
30113Do you think I could sleep in my bed with you fretting and worrying your poor, simple heart out?
30113Do you think I want you to keep me?
30113Do you think I''d have said that?
30113Do you think I''m going to sit down under this suspicion?
30113Do you understand, eh?
30113Do you understand?
30113Do you understand?
30113Do you understand?"
30113Eh?
30113Eh?
30113Eh?
30113Eh?"
30113Eh?"
30113Eh?"
30113Elia''s guilt?
30113Fell on the corner?
30113For whom?
30113For, in the fact of having won her, would not his luck have been the reverse of what it was?
30113Get me?
30113Get me?
30113Get me?"
30113Get my meaning?
30113Get that?
30113Gettin''married?"
30113God?
30113Going, Peter?
30113Going?"
30113Good, eh?"
30113Guess I''ll drive you out in mine, eh?"
30113Guess you''d be glad to be rid of me, eh?
30113Had it not been the greed of gold?
30113Had not she cared and struggled for him all these years?
30113Had she heard?
30113Had she not been a prey to a good honest feminine envy?
30113Had she not dressed her?
30113Had she not feasted her eyes on her all the morning?
30113Has he-- gone to the dogs with drink and gambling?
30113Have others been-- thinking?"
30113Have you got any of my money?"
30113Have you got those things, because, if so, they ought to be a handsome clue for sure?"
30113He said it would be a little surprise for you---- You are not going?"
30113He''s done nothing----""What about the Henderson woman?"
30113He-- he must have told them of-- of Elia?"
30113Henderson?"
30113Her enemy?
30113How can you be frightened?
30113How could he-- at his age?
30113How could it be otherwise?
30113How could it be otherwise?
30113How could it be?
30113How could one of his years understand a matter of this sort?
30113How d''you like it?"
30113How far have we come?
30113How he would fight for her, strive for her, work for her-- and now?
30113How long?"
30113How many are there here?"
30113How many times?
30113How many?"
30113How much?"
30113How should it?
30113How was he to know he was going to lose?
30113How would you like to be hanged?"
30113How''s that?"
30113How''s things with the''AZ''s''?"
30113How---- Hello, what was this?
30113How?
30113How?
30113How?"
30113Hurt him?
30113Hurt him?
30113I mean, what is the use of it if we do go out?
30113I still have it in my power to----""Eh?"
30113I was wondering if you''d ever thought how bad she''d feel if she knew you two were at loggerheads?
30113I''ll be able to have plenty folks workin''for me?
30113I''ll have my time----""And then?"
30113I''ve see fellers strung up on less evidence than that, an''I''ve bin on the----""Rope?"
30113I-- I thought I''d ask you----""Me?"
30113I-- I----""You''re sweet on him, sis?"
30113I----""Are you accusin''me, you durned hulk?"
30113If I''d called folks, an''he''d got around an''found''em here----""Why did n''t you fetch him?"
30113If she denounced Will, what then?
30113If she had nothing to fear for herself, for whom did she fear?
30113In another two years I mean to be ranching on my own, eh?
30113Is any sane rustler going to use his own brand, and run stolen cattle with his legitimate stock, in a place where folks can always see''em?
30113Is it, as they say, money?
30113Is it?
30113Is it?"
30113Is n''t he kind?"
30113Is there a God, a merciful, loving God watching over us, such as kiddies are taught to believe in?
30113Is there a God?
30113Is there an all- powerful God, ruling and guiding every human action?
30113Is there?
30113Is there?"
30113It isn''t-- eh?"
30113It tasted like-- like----""Have another?"
30113It''s-- it''s a woman?"
30113Jim Thorpe''s a nice seemin''feller enough, someways, but----""But-- what?"
30113Jim a cattle- thief?
30113Jim, her enemy?
30113Kind o''musical around these parts?"
30113Leanin''over the coal box?
30113Lying a- bed?
30113Must you stand here demanding all the inmost secrets and motives of two people''s lives?
30113Now what about the size of the rooms and things?
30113Now what----""And the omen, dear?"
30113Oh, doctor, have n''t you heard and seen sufficient?
30113Oh, yes-- and, was n''t he?"
30113On the other hand, what else could Jim do?
30113Only he do n''t come so often, does he?
30113Or was he awake and thinking of their love, planning for their joint future?
30113Peter?
30113Say, Eve,"he added, after a reflective pause,"why does folks all hate me so much?"
30113Say, I''ll be able to buy buggies, an''hosses, an''ranches, an''things?
30113Say, ai n''t she lucky?
30113Say, boy, you do n''t grudge her her bit, do you?
30113Say, ca n''t you like him?
30113Say, ca n''t you see it hurts bad to think you''ve got to pinch, and that sort of thing?
30113Say, d''you know what she''s doin''?
30113Say, he has n''t smashed you, has he?
30113Say, if we keep right on we''ll hit Barnriff on this line?"
30113Say, maybe you''ve got five minutes?"
30113Say, what was his price for riding out to me?
30113Say, you''re a West Point man, ai n''t you?"
30113Say----""What you got in that sack?"
30113See?
30113See?
30113See?
30113See?"
30113Shall I try and begin it for you?"
30113She had truly enough heard the story of the recovery of the cattle, as who in Barnriff had not?
30113She said,''What you doin''here, you imp o''Satan?
30113She told you?"
30113She wo n''t see me, and----""Sort of final look round before you quit the-- sinking ship, eh?"
30113Should he wait until morning to bear his tidings to her?
30113Should she walk over to the hut, and-- and listen at the open window for the sound of his breathing?
30113Sleepy?"
30113So why for do you raise sech a racket?
30113So why should it be otherwise?
30113Something in your line, eh?
30113Suddenly he swung round on Elia, and, with an arm outstretched, and a great finger pointing, he cried,"Why did you kill Will Henderson?"
30113Sure-- sure?"
30113Take him?"
30113That ai n''t giving Will away, is it?"
30113That imp of hell can hate, and it was me he hated, eh?
30113That you?"
30113That''s how I''m made, see?
30113The door was pushed roughly open, and Will, her husband, came hurriedly in:"You?"
30113The drawn- up hip?
30113The fortunes of war, eh?
30113The hunched shoulders?
30113The thought revolted him, and yet-- and yet, why should he take the blame?
30113Then seeing I was put about some, he says,''Carrie,''he says,''what d''ye mean?''
30113Then, why?
30113Then,"Will that durned plug carry you now?"
30113There was his horse, too; why was he on foot?
30113There''s nothing amiss with-- Elia?"
30113They asked"Where?"
30113They-- they acquitted him?"
30113True it was the height of summer; but then who had not seen miserable weather in summer?
30113Was Doc Crombie out?
30113Was ever so outrageous a demand upon a man?
30113Was he about to make a bolt out of the country?
30113Was he in bed?
30113Was he sleeping and dreaming of her?
30113Was it for herself?
30113Was she now waiting for the verdict?
30113Was she speaking to herself-- or to some one else?
30113Was there ever such a day in Barnriff?
30113Was there no end to the cruelty of his fate?
30113Was there no hope, none?
30113Was there such a spot near by?
30113We know differently, eh?
30113We sunk nine holes, hain''t we?
30113Well might he have cried out,"How long?
30113Well?"
30113What about that for luck?
30113What could Washington know of their requirements?
30113What could a judge of the circuit know of the conditions in which they lived?
30113What could he do?
30113What d''you mean?"
30113What did that mean?
30113What do you mean?
30113What for does she keep right on with her needle, with all those dollars?
30113What for?"
30113What for?"
30113What had he ever done to deserve his fate?
30113What had she ever done to deserve it?
30113What have I done to deserve it?
30113What have I done to make you like this?"
30113What have I done?
30113What if he woke up in the night an''--an''had another?
30113What is it that has come between us?
30113What is it, dear?
30113What mattered if he shortened it by years, or if he lived to what might be looked upon as an honored old age?
30113What must he do?
30113What of him?"
30113What of?"
30113What say?"
30113What trick was this Peter had played on him?
30113What was it?
30113What was that?
30113What was the underlay like?
30113What was to be done?
30113What would Eve think?
30113What would Jim''s attitude be?
30113What would Will''s death mean to her?
30113What would be her best course?
30113What would be their news?
30113What would happen when he met Jim, as, sooner or later, he knew he must?
30113What would he do?
30113What would this mean to Eve?
30113What you''d do, an''why?
30113What''s losing a few nights, if, in the end, I get a big stake?
30113What''s made it necessary?
30113What''s poor Eve going to do with you always hating Will?
30113What-- what must be the result?
30113What----?
30113What----?
30113When he went to speak to her, would she turn from him as from something unclean?
30113When you''ve found it?"
30113Wher''s them things, I ask you?
30113Where are you going now?"
30113Where did he ever get such a frightful nature from?
30113Where has it gone?"
30113Where was the ruddy splendor of the day''s awakening, where the glory of dawning hope?
30113Where was the use in struggling?
30113Where?--How----?
30113Wherever there was a big pot just won his rasping voice was always at the elbow of the winner, with his monotonous"Any drinks, gents?"
30113Who but a madman or a drunkard would set up a laundry next to the coal yard?
30113Who could it be?
30113Who could mistake it, with its flamboyant brilliance against the lesser twinkle of the smaller houses?
30113Who could tell, with such a husband as Will, when she might not need the help of a strong, willing arm?
30113Who did it?"
30113Who had done this thing?
30113Who had done this thing?
30113Who keeps that brand?
30113Who on earth could she trust, if not Peter?
30113Who runs his stock in hidin''up in the hills?
30113Who was he to judge?
30113Who''s done this?
30113Who''s gone to kill-- who?"
30113Who''s that with you?
30113Who''s to go and fetch Doc?
30113Who''s to say he ai n''t handed us a fool game?
30113Who, living in such a place as Barnriff, would n''t hear it?"
30113Who----?
30113Who?
30113Who?
30113Whose hand set it on?
30113Whose?
30113Why had Doc Crombie not produced the knife and the handkerchiefs?
30113Why had he come?
30113Why had he not gone to Eve in the first place?
30113Why his brand?
30113Why is it?
30113Why not be fair with yourself?
30113Why should he have?
30113Why should he leave his name stinking in the mire of such a crime?
30113Why should he?
30113Why should he?
30113Why should it be otherwise?
30113Why should we sweat and toil, and have it squeezed out of us whenever-- they think fit?
30113Why struggle against it?
30113Why struggle?
30113Why was n''t he afraid of things?
30113Why was n''t he hump- backed with a bent neck and a"game"leg?
30113Why''ud I get lost more''n other fellers?
30113Why, why, I ask, am I chosen for such persecution?
30113Why?"
30113Why?"
30113Will Henderson dead?
30113Will they go right?
30113Will they?
30113Will you come?"
30113Will you come?"
30113Will you help us save Jim-- Jim who was always good to you, or will you let them kill him-- an''then you?
30113Will you honor a suspected man by clinking glasses with him?"
30113Will you-- get busy?"
30113Will you?
30113With that I says,''Abe, ai n''t you got eyes?''
30113Wot about McLagan of the''AZ''s''?"
30113Wot for?
30113Wot needs provin''is, who set that brand on McLagan''s cattle?
30113Wot''s these folks buttin''in fer?
30113Would it never end?
30113Would she condemn him without a hearing?
30113Would there be trouble?
30113Would they believe her?
30113Would they believe?
30113Yes?"
30113Yet-- why did you come to- night?"
30113You ai n''t heerd if she''s gone?"
30113You do want to, do n''t you?
30113You guessed you''d stand by watching me slowly strangle, eh?
30113You have n''t, have you?"
30113You knew it?"
30113You know all the boys, you go amongst them, you may have heard?"
30113You savvee?"
30113You say you''re on this trail?
30113You see, he''s so----""And does Peter know where he is?"
30113You think hurt for some one, see?
30113You told Doc, eh?"
30113You told them how-- how it all happened?"
30113You understand?
30113You want''em to hang Jim Thorpe?"
30113You wouldn''t-- you would n''t?
30113You''d rather see her happy, if it ai n''t with you, would n''t you?
30113You''re goin''to hold your job?"
30113You''ve heerd tell of''em, ai n''t you?
30113You''ve never thought, have you?
30113You?
27475''It may be for years, and it may be forever, Then why art thou silent, O voice of my heart?''
27475''Most ready to go?
27475''Not very friendly,''she said, going over Overton''s words--"you think that, too-- don''t you?
27475''Tana, what has changed you so?
27475''Tana, what of Max? 27475 ''Tana,"he said, and looked at her with kindly directness,"can the Art study give you that which you crave, and which money can not buy?"
27475''Tana-- don''t you know what he has done for you? 27475 ''Tana?
27475A little? 27475 A married man?"
27475A stepmother? 27475 A trick-- is it?"
27475A woman who is dying?
27475About the marriage? 27475 Afraid of her?
27475Ai n''t it lovely, Ora?
27475Akkomi?
27475All the rest do here, and not you-- how is that?
27475All, Dan?
27475Alone?
27475Am I to understand, then, that your friend, the ranger, is a sort of modern Don Juan, to whom any order of femininity is acceptable?
27475And are you going to develop into a sculptor under Overton''s guardianship?
27475And do you not think it would be a very exacting guardian who could object?
27475And he''s got his new boat, has he?
27475And her name-- what is she called?
27475And how do you know that?
27475And if I refuse?
27475And lives there a man with soul so dead that he can not perceive the manifold beauties arranged for his inspection? 27475 And she?"
27475And that is all you know of them?
27475And the beauty of the hero would not move you at all? 27475 And the other man?"
27475And then,''Tana?
27475And then? 27475 And this is your friend, Captain Leek, of the Northern Army, is it?"
27475And was it?
27475And who made it for me?
27475And why do you come to me?
27475And write up that handsome Lyster as the hero?
27475And yet you are not contented?
27475And you believed that of me-- of me?
27475And you ca n''t tell me anything of how it was done?
27475And you came back here for that?
27475And you thought I had stuck that knife in him and left?
27475And you thought,he continued, in a voice slightly tremulous,"that you were giving me a chance to escape just so long as you let them suspect-- you?"
27475And you will cut loose from this outfit?
27475And you will go now with us-- with Mr. Haydon-- back to your mother''s old home, wo n''t you?
27475And you will never do squaw work for me again, little squaw?
27475And you wo n''t say yes, Lavina?
27475And you-- will you be here then?
27475And your name is Jake Emmons, of the Spokane country?
27475And''Tana? 27475 Any more interesting specimens like that?"
27475Any more tracks?
27475Are you cold?
27475Are you going to tell me? 27475 Are you in pain?"
27475Are you located in this country?
27475Are you trying to justify her to me? 27475 Are you wondering if the snakes you see are the result of odd drinks?
27475Are you?
27475Are your cares as a guardian wearing on your nerves, and bringing a need of stimulants?
27475Back to Akkomi?
27475Beg pardon, ma''am,said a voice at her elbow;"but is it the-- the young lady with the white dress you are looking for?"
27475But I made a mistake when I said''every one,''did n''t I? 27475 But Joe''s partner,"persisted Overton,"he was not tenderfoot?
27475But do n''t you, yourself, think it would be a decided advantage for her to live for a while with her own relatives?
27475But does n''t that make the gold seem farther away-- much farther? 27475 But he wo n''t play with me, because he do n''t like me; that''s what you would say, if you were not too polite-- isn''t it?
27475But her-- her people? 27475 But it is n''t men-- it''s only one man I want to play-- do you see?"
27475But not-- not against your parents,''Tana?
27475But that girl-- don''t you see she was accused of this? 27475 But that is all over now,"he promised;"and have n''t you a good wish for us?"
27475But they are generally a lazy, shiftless set?
27475But who could have killed him?
27475But who is it?
27475But why?
27475But you do?
27475But you give it just because you were baptized in the river this evening, do n''t you?
27475But you-- you wo n''t tell-- will you, Lavina?
27475But, my dear, the propriety?
27475C-- an''t I?
27475Ca n''t you forget-- even now,''Tana?
27475Ca n''t you spare us a boatman? 27475 Ca n''t you speak?"
27475Can I carry the-- the baby?
27475Can she make it?
27475Can you tell me what they were?
27475Can you-- oh, will you, please?
27475Come along?
27475Dan asked me to come? 27475 Dan-- where?"
27475Dan?
27475Did n''t I tell you it was better to give your smiles to me instead of to Overton?
27475Did n''t you? 27475 Did n''t your new uncle, Haydon, tell you better than that?
27475Did she give you any information as to how she came to be there?
27475Did they say that-- lately?
27475Did you ever in your life hear such cold- blooded words from a girl?
27475Did you not tell me he was a poor man?
27475Did you-- did you tell him--"That you are going to belong to me? 27475 Did you?
27475Did your conscience make it necessary for you to confess in this fashion? 27475 Die?
27475Do any of you know him?
27475Do n''t I know it, Dan?
27475Do n''t you know? 27475 Do n''t you think that a plain, ordinary man is good enough for your wild- flower of the Kootenai hills?"
27475Do n''t you want me to?
27475Do not know what?
27475Do you guess the riddle of it?
27475Do you know how that feels? 27475 Do you know where we are standing?
27475Do you live in this region?
27475Do you live there?
27475Do you mean to insinuate that I do waste time on trifles? 27475 Do you think Flap- Jacks would help any one out in propriety?"
27475Do you travel East, Mr.--Mr. Harvey? 27475 Does Dan know?--did you tell him?"
27475Does anybody ever forget?
27475Does he know much about books and such things?
27475Does she seem better?
27475Duty? 27475 Flap- Jacks, are they gone?"
27475For me? 27475 For me?"
27475Grudge? 27475 Have I ignorantly done some good?"
27475Have n''t I? 27475 Have n''t you an idea that I might murder you all in your beds some fine night?
27475Have them come up here, wo n''t you? 27475 Have you adopted one?"
27475Have you any idea who killed him?
27475Have you dropped her in the creek and run back to camp? 27475 Have you ever tried to draw?"
27475Have you lost it already?
27475He? 27475 Her mother is dead?"
27475His wife?
27475Holly? 27475 How could it be possible for Miss Rivers to know this renegade horse- thief?"
27475How dare you insult her with such a question?
27475How do you know she is a swell?
27475How long-- were you there?
27475How much wealth must one offer to get them to run?
27475How soon do you expect she will be able to walk, or be moved?
27475How will you learn it?
27475How?
27475Hurt? 27475 I asked you before why you speak of Margaret and me in that tone?"
27475I do believe you, for it is only cowards who tell lies; and I do n''t believe you''d make a good coward-- would you?
27475I have been brought all the way on cushions, so how could I be? 27475 I have,"she acknowledged, promptly;"you think it is not a very nice question for girls to study about, do n''t you?
27475I look like some one you know?
27475I suppose, now, you got sight from up there on the hill of the two young folks going boat riding?
27475I thought you had a high regard for the captain?
27475I wonder,he said, at last,"if there is any chance of your being my friend, too, in so short a time as a half- hour?
27475I? 27475 I?"
27475If Doctor Harrison is still in there, would you do me the favor of asking him to come outside for a few minutes?
27475Is it time for our dance? 27475 Is it your sickness-- is it the gold-- or what, that makes you turn from your old friends?
27475Is it your wife?
27475Is it?
27475Is it?
27475Is it?
27475Is it_ you_ she''s been askin''for?
27475Is n''t he a great old Dan? 27475 Is n''t it so?"
27475Is one glimpse of our camp life enough to drive him to the river again?
27475Is that a-- a child?
27475Is-- is any one hurt?
27475Is-- is this sort of threats a habit of yours with strangers in your camp?
27475It is true,he answered--"every word of it, and he has been keeping quiet about it, has he?
27475It is? 27475 It''s a''case,''is n''t it?"
27475It''s awful, ai n''t it?
27475Joe, can you forgive him now?
27475Know him?
27475Know what? 27475 Last night?
27475Likely that is now, ai n''t it?
27475Little girl-- what is it? 27475 Made when?"
27475Make allowance-- I?
27475May I sit down here? 27475 May I tell you?"
27475Me? 27475 Melancholy?
27475More white men to come into camp?
27475Mr. Dan is mightily upset over it, ai n''t he?
27475Mr. Harvey, can I trouble you to look after it for me? 27475 Mrs. Huzzard said you were enchanting in your new gown-- is not that it?"
27475Much?
27475My dear,she said, solemnly,"do you really care for him a particle?"
27475My knife?
27475Near Karlo?
27475Nervy? 27475 No one?"
27475Not even Margaret,repeated the girl;"and that is the crowning sin in your eyes, is n''t it?
27475Not even if I asked you?
27475Now go and pacify your aunt, wo n''t you? 27475 Now, I''ve offended you, have n''t I?"
27475Now, honest Injun-- did he?
27475Now, what important thing does that prove?
27475Now, what would you do?
27475Now, you think you will annoy me about that guardianship until I''ll give it up, do n''t you?
27475Of course, he is not going to spoil our good time by objecting-- are you, Dan? 27475 Oh, Montana, my dear child, why do you not forget that horrible life, and leave your mind free to partake of the advantages now surrounding you?"
27475Oh, could n''t I?
27475Oh, it is you, is it?
27475Oh, it''s Mr. Max, then, that''s planning this, is it?
27475Oh, it''s you, is it?
27475Oh, she is-- is she? 27475 Oh, that fellow?
27475Oh, that is Akkomi, is it? 27475 Oh, that''s the way the land lies, is it?"
27475Oh, would you?
27475Oh, you lied, did you?
27475Oh, you would n''t? 27475 One-- two-- three-- four!--twenty dollars-- that is about a dollar a minute, is n''t it?"
27475Other things? 27475 Over from Sproats-- you?"
27475Overton? 27475 Perhaps not; but wo n''t you pretend you do for a little while, long enough to come with me for a little walk-- or else to talk to me in your cabin?"
27475Playing with the cards, are you?
27475Queer place for a white woman, is n''t it?
27475Rivers is a good name-- Rivers?
27475Run where?
27475Seems to need you?
27475Set against it? 27475 Sha''n''t I send one of the ladies up?"
27475Sha''n''t? 27475 Shall I get the canoe back to camp before they come?"
27475Shall I light your lamp?
27475Shall I tell him? 27475 She?
27475So Dan did get down to see you off,''Tana?
27475So I am likely to fall in love with Margaret, am I?
27475So I might as well be bad, do n''t you see? 27475 So Mr. Dan is showing temper, too, is he?
27475So he-- he told you about me?
27475So it was a gold mine that dragged you people up into this wilderness? 27475 So this is where the trail begins, is it?"
27475So you are bound to protect him, are you?
27475So you are superstitious?
27475So you got out of the water alive, did you?
27475So you know her?
27475So you-- you bear a grudge-- don''t you, Lavina?
27475So your sympathies run in that direction, do they? 27475 So, you would put a veto on love at first sight, would you?"
27475So, you_ have_ heard?
27475Some beggar?
27475Sorry you asked me, Max?
27475Squaw not here yet?
27475Such things?
27475Sure? 27475 Suspicions?
27475Tana, my girl, what is it? 27475 Tell me-- what is it?"
27475That does not matter much, does it?
27475That is no proof that he is not in love with her-- and why not? 27475 Then Mr. Overton''s partner has n''t been dead long?"
27475Then may I hope not to be forgotten when you are in Italy?
27475Then you are not satisfied?
27475Then you do n''t care for it-- you want other people just as soon as you find the rich streak where the gold is? 27475 Then you intend to tell it?"
27475Then you knew him before?
27475Then you prefer card playing?
27475Think that was a Frenchwoman in the river back there? 27475 Though you are a little afraid to risk it, are n''t you?"
27475Through?
27475To me? 27475 To talk to you?
27475Until your friends come in, will you not take my seat?
27475Wait until you have cause, before you worry,he advised,"I do n''t look like a sick man, do I?"
27475Was he trying to rob you?
27475Was it bigger bundles of it than this you struck?
27475Well, am I then to wait outside the portals, and be content with the crumbs you choose to carry out to me?
27475Well, it is not an unusual prophecy to make of a young girl, is it?
27475Well, then, not even if I should get sick and need a nurse?
27475Well, what''s the matter now?
27475Well, where were you for the half- hour before the moon rose?
27475Well, why do n''t you talk?
27475Well, why do you come to me about it?
27475Well,he said, coldly,"that is a pretty name, so far as it goes; but what is the rest of it?"
27475Well?
27475Were any of your people here at nightfall yesterday?
27475Were you crying for joy over those little grains of gold-- or over your loneliness in being so far from the Ferry folks?
27475Were you not expecting this man to- night?
27475What are you talking of?
27475What are you trading for?
27475What are you watching for?
27475What dance?
27475What did you do with the women folks?
27475What difference that make-- eh? 27475 What do you intend to make of your life, Montana, since you avoid all questions of marriage?
27475What do you know? 27475 What do you mean by that?"
27475What do you mean?
27475What do you mean?
27475What does all that matter now, Joe? 27475 What does''Tana think of it?"
27475What for you care?
27475What has Harris been telling you that has aroused you to interest, Tana?
27475What has hurt you?
27475What in the world does it mean?
27475What is it?
27475What is the matter now? 27475 What is the matter with your friend?"
27475What is the use of having money if it do n''t help you to live where you please?
27475What shall I say?
27475What sort of business is this,''Tana? 27475 What sort of man is it you want?
27475What''s the hurry?
27475What''s up?
27475What''s wrong?
27475What, in the name of all that''s infernal, has taken possession of you, Overton?
27475What?
27475When do we look for them? 27475 Where do you intend climbing?"
27475Where does she live-- and what is her name?
27475Where in that pretty curly head of yours do you find the ideas for those artistic arrangements of form and color? 27475 Where is Dan?
27475Where is Overton?
27475Where is the man-- Holly? 27475 Where is the ring?"
27475Where''d any one get teaching of that sort along the Columbia River? 27475 Where''s my gun?"
27475Where? 27475 Which?--my virtues or your queerness?"
27475White men? 27475 Who could expect anything but vice from a man who had such a boyhood?"
27475Who else has told you?
27475Who is the man?
27475Who said it-- Miss Slocum? 27475 Who toted me in here-- you?"
27475Who was with him?
27475Who-- Akkomi?
27475Who-- Max? 27475 Who?
27475Whose child is this?
27475Why did you come back? 27475 Why do n''t you speak, Dan?
27475Why do you come to me?
27475Why do you think any one is waiting for me?
27475Why not?
27475Why should n''t he look down on that sort of pottering around?
27475Why that emphasis on the_ he_?
27475Why were you so wild about finding the gold, if you care so little for the things it brings?
27475Why, did n''t we hear a rumor that he was n''t dead at all, but had been seen somewhere near Butte?
27475Why, my dear girl, who would even think of hunting for little white girls in these forests? 27475 Why, you poor little one, what sort of folks have you been among?"
27475Why? 27475 Will you allow me, Miss Rivers, to introduce another member of our firm?
27475Will you come in?
27475Will you come, Lyster?
27475Will you run for this-- run far over there?
27475With you? 27475 Wo n''t you be a messenger of peace and fix the game for me?"
27475Wo n''t you keep this money for me?
27475Wo n''t you speak to me at all?
27475Wo n''t you?
27475Would they blame you--_you_ for it, if they knew?
27475Yes, is n''t he a trial? 27475 Yes-- so it''s lucky, Max, that we have n''t talked to others about that little conditional promise, is n''t it?
27475You an officer in the Union Army?
27475You are a stranger here, are n''t you?
27475You are afraid of me-- of me?
27475You are either trying to gull me, or Akkomi is trying to gull you-- which is it?
27475You are new in camp, are n''t you?
27475You are out of patience with me, are you not, Miss Seldon?
27475You are the man whom Overton sent to put Harris to bed last night, are you not?
27475You are very nearly worn out, are n''t you?
27475You borrowed it? 27475 You ca n''t scold me, though, can you?"
27475You ca n''t, then? 27475 You can scarcely believe a tenderfoot has learned more of your vagabond reds than you yourself knew, can you?
27475You care, too, do you? 27475 You did?"
27475You do n''t know Margaret, do you? 27475 You do n''t like even to hear of that region, do you?
27475You do n''t like it-- you do n''t think it is pretty?
27475You do n''t like it?
27475You do n''t want me to go to dances?
27475You do not?
27475You gave them prizes, did you not?
27475You had some one with you?
27475You have been doing a little thinking on your own account, Mrs. Huzzard? 27475 You have it all decided, then?"
27475You have promised that?
27475You have seen plays, then?
27475You have? 27475 You make this run often?"
27475You mean Lyster? 27475 You mean the very fine Mr. Haydon, who had curly hair and looked like me?"
27475You mean through Max, do n''t you?
27475You mean to tell me that the young girl is joint owner of a gold find promising a fortune? 27475 You mean you moved it a little once, but ca n''t do it again?"
27475You mean you think me the sort of fellow to break our engagement just because these fools have mixed you up with this horror?
27475You mean you-- like her?
27475You must be a stranger in the settlement?
27475You must be pretty near twenty- eight years old-- aren''t you, Dan? 27475 You remember the day you fell in a heap?
27475You so near-- did you see any one?
27475You think a girl is a pretty hard case if she does n''t give proper respect and duty to her parents, do n''t you? 27475 You think a heap of that-- of personal bravery-- don''t you?
27475You want to know all about it, do n''t you?
27475You were going to telegraph me? 27475 You with a baby,''Tana?"
27475You wo n''t let them look down on me?
27475You wo n''t tell me?
27475You wo n''t tell-- will you, Lavina? 27475 You would kill him?"
27475You, Harvey?
27475You-- are going-- to- morrow?
27475You-- play poker?
27475Your knife?
27475Your mother, too?
27475Yours, miss?
27475_ Him!_ Then you know who it is?
27475_''Tana!_Did he guess all the stormy emotions locked alone in the girl''s heart, and wearing out her strength?
27475''TANA''S ENGAGEMENT"And she wants a thousand dollars in money or free gold-- a thousand dollars to- day?"
274758, are they for''Tana, too?"
27475A gentleman of culture, used to the best society, give a thought to such an unclassed individual?
27475After a deliberate, contemptuous glance from the questioner''s frizzed head to her little feet,''Tana answered:"No; do you?"
27475All what?"
27475Am I right?"
27475Am I the selected victim?"
27475And do you want to come in and look at our poor little girl now?
27475And have you seen Akkomi lately?
27475And he promised to take good care of her on the river, did he?"
27475And is this lady also a friend?"
27475And maybe you think he would not promenade beside that make- up just as readily on Broadway, New York, or on Chestnut street, Philadelphia?
27475And those two?
27475And what about the afterpiece?"
27475And what am I to do with those little moccasins, even if I do win them?"
27475And what strong necessity could there be for him to address Mr. Haydon, an utter stranger?"
27475And you have not said a word to me of it?
27475And you will go?"
27475And you will have it here?"
27475And you''re not a marrying man, are you?
27475Any one would give you credit instead of blaming you-- don''t you ever think of that?
27475Any real genteel people there?"
27475Are n''t you afraid?"
27475Are there only you and these Indians to claim her?
27475Are we?"
27475Are you going to tell me?"
27475Are you looking for one?
27475Are you sure?"
27475As the blaze leaped up and made bright the circle around them, he looked at the stranger and said, bluntly:"What did Akkomi tell you of her?"
27475But I''m too suspicious, ai n''t I?
27475But as you''re alone in this country, do n''t you think you''d be better off where other white women live?"
27475But do n''t you suppose you did me harm when you spoiled me for ever trusting any other man?"
27475But do n''t you think he looks brighter?"
27475But how could she know me?"
27475But how does he know?"
27475But how was I to know that Jim Harris was the man-- the same man?
27475But how was I to know?
27475But in the midst of the social studies he was making of them, he heard Overton say:"And you have not heard of a white girl in this vicinity?"
27475But just now, while we are so far off from the rest of the world, wo n''t you trust me with your troubles-- with the thoughts that worry you?
27475But now--""And you have the plan--_you_,''Tana?"
27475But suppose they are the sort of people no one can respect-- what then?
27475But the questioning eyes of the girl were turned to him, and remembering them, he said:"Live there?
27475But what is that racket about?"
27475But what was the use, with him well and strong, and with devils back of him, and you alone and barely able to crawl?
27475But why in the world did n''t you tell us that, miss?"
27475But why should you think I mean to keep you from jollifications?"
27475But you have, have n''t you?"
27475But, oh, why do n''t they hurry?"
27475But,''Tana, you will live then where people will be more critical than we are here--""More like Captain Leek?"
27475Ca n''t I make amends some way for the wrong I did you?
27475Ca n''t I see?
27475Ca n''t we do that?"
27475Can you tell me how she came in this wild country?
27475Can you use your hands any at all?
27475Contrive something to make me forget it, wo n''t you?
27475Could I ever teach Flap- Jacks to quit scratching her head in the presence of ladies and gentlemen?
27475Could you leave here for twenty- four hours?"
27475Cut for deal?"
27475Dan know the young squaw, maybe?"
27475Dan, then, happens to- day to be one of the saints in your calendar, and plain mortals like myself must not take his name in vain-- is that it?
27475Did any one look at you last night as if you were a''hoodoo''?
27475Did he guess all the childish longing to feel strong, loving arms around her as a shield?
27475Did he himself know nothing?
27475Did n''t I give her leave to get square with the old man?
27475Did n''t you ever feel like that-- just as if you were too happy to last, and you were afraid some trouble would come and end it all?"
27475Did those words mean anything?
27475Did you know your ward is an embryo sculptress?"
27475Did you notice?
27475Did you,"she added, looking at him darkly,"ever put in time hunting for any one you did n''t want to find?"
27475Did you-- Max?
27475Dig in the ground?
27475Do n''t you think so?
27475Do n''t you think so?"
27475Do n''t you understand?
27475Do n''t you understand?"
27475Do n''t you want to play any more, captain?"
27475Do n''t you-- understand?"
27475Do the same for me, will you?"
27475Do you hear-- do you believe me?"
27475Do you intend to send for other folks, then?"
27475Do you know the girl?"
27475Do you know them?"
27475Do you know-- can you tell when Dan will come back?"
27475Do you realize, my dear girl, how very many days it is since you have condescended to want anything on this earth of ours?
27475Do you remember him?"
27475Do you remember?
27475Do you think so?"
27475Do you understand me?
27475Do you understand, little girl?
27475Do you understand?
27475Do you understand?
27475Do you understand?
27475Do you understand?"
27475Do you want him to be the man?"
27475Do you?"
27475Do you?"
27475Does everybody?
27475Does n''t Miss Ackerman give me credit for learning very quickly?
27475Does n''t she, Harris?
27475Does n''t the prospect frighten you?"
27475Even if it was-- a lover, what right had I to object?
27475Even if she leaves these diggings some day and forgets all about me, just as the young wolves or wildcats do-- well, what difference?
27475For what?"
27475Had he any reason to suspect the dread in her own mind?
27475Had he come straight to the cabin after leaving her?
27475Had he kept his word?
27475Had he not threatened he would kill the man who visited her at night?
27475Had n''t you better just step in that way, and have him fix you up?
27475Had we better go down and apologize to Haydon?"
27475Has she no other one?"
27475Has-- has this young lady any brothers or cousins up there?"
27475Have a nice trip?"
27475Have you any other word to give me?"
27475Have you anything more to tell me?
27475Have you ever heard of people who were''hoodoos''?
27475Haydon?"
27475Haydon?"
27475He always says,''Is she well?''
27475He has n''t a wife, has he?"
27475He is always called Willie, where the villain would be called Bill-- now, is n''t he?
27475He just laughed, Joe, and said it was not a brother''s love that a wife wanted; but I do n''t think he knows anything about that-- do you?
27475He nodded his head, however, saying"How?"
27475How is he for protection?"
27475How is she?
27475How is your other patient?"
27475How old are you?"
27475How shall I do penance until then?"
27475How would you like that?"
27475How''s that?"
27475How?"
27475How?"
27475I am going away, Joe; wo n''t you tell me true whether you know who did it?
27475I guess Haydon helped to put that notion into your head, did n''t he?"
27475I knew her mother when she was a girl like''Tana, and--""You did?"
27475I saw Mr. Seldon in Chicago and he scolded me when I told him I was coming back to the woods to stay--""To stay?"
27475I think I''m a good healthy sort of a prophet; and as a reward will you go with me to- morrow?"
27475I was hunting for him when I found her laying low here, do n''t you understand?
27475I wonder if you will ever let me do so, Tana?"
27475If it''s a hoodoo, as you thought, why not throw it away?"
27475Is he grand chamberlain of your establishment here?
27475Is he one of the important people up here?"
27475Is it far, Mr. Harvey?
27475Is she coming?"
27475Is that it?
27475Is that object over there also one of the solid men of the community?"
27475Is that where you found it?"
27475Is there a Kootenai Pocahontas somewhere in the wilderness accountable for your ideas?
27475Is there anywhere a friend you could trust to work the find and take care of you?
27475It fits, does n''t it?"
27475It''s getting started right that counts-- ain''t it, Dan?"
27475Joe, ca n''t you let the hate go by, now that he is dead-- dead?"
27475Just tell me what I''m to donate for being allowed to bask in the light of Akkomi''s countenance?
27475Just the same girl; but happier-- a heap happier, ai n''t you?"
27475Lee Holly?"
27475Look up at me, wo n''t you?
27475Max Lyster is a gentleman-- didn''t you ever happen to know one, dad?
27475Max, ca n''t you tell her?"
27475Maybe I will when I get civilized; but Mr. Haydon thinks that is a long ways ahead, does n''t he?"
27475Maybe you''ll find it out here-- who knows?
27475Me tell Dan?"
27475Me?
27475Might I ask her name?"
27475No more of your blasted stuttering or beating away from points; who is the man you talk of?
27475Now are you ready to suspect me, too, because I had it first?"
27475Now do you know why I want you to let me tell him all-- while I can?"
27475Now do you trust me?"
27475Now do you understand?"
27475Now would you mind telling me whose likeness it is you are making in the clay?"
27475Now, ai n''t I about right?"
27475Now, do you understand how I feel about myself and this social question?"
27475Now, gentlemen, what do you think of it yourselves?"
27475Now, where did you go after that?"
27475Now, why should you make war on me?
27475Of course there is_ some_ truth in the sketch you make; but-- but I thought you had never ranged to the East?"
27475Of these,"producing two colored handkerchiefs,"will you give one to him, that he may know I am in earnest, the other will you not wear for Dan?"
27475Old Akkomi scared him a little, too, did n''t he?"
27475Or is he a medicine man you depend on to cure''Tana?"
27475Overton rolled over on his face and grunted disdainfully, saying:"That''s about the style of thing you call_ living_, do n''t you, sonny?"
27475Overton?"
27475Queer for an Indian to have, is n''t it?"
27475See?
27475See?
27475See?
27475Shake hands on the agreement, wo n''t you?"
27475She did not look up, and when she spoke, it was very curtly:"Where?"
27475She liked him-- yes; but--"Tana, wo n''t you speak?
27475She wo n''t know you; but if you wish--""May I?"
27475So I am set on your taking more care of yourself-- now wo n''t you?"
27475So he does me the doubtful honor to suppose I may be?
27475So you leave here jolly enough, and run around to camp, and cry about nothing-- do you?"
27475Suppose I depended on you getting me in to shore for my dinner, how many hours do you think I''d have to go without eating?
27475Surely you guessed-- a little?
27475Take me along, wo n''t you?
27475That pretty little girl?
27475The fear that he might look indifferently on her and say,"Yes, it is true-- what then?"
27475Then it is you who--""Who has planned the whole brilliant scheme?
27475They do not suspect; they think I did it-- and so--""What does this all mean?--what do you mean?"
27475They think I am the somebody, but you do n''t believe that?"
27475This makes you a man worth knowing-- isn''t that about the idea?
27475To be sure, she had as yet refrained from using words against him; but how long would she refrain?
27475To whom?"
27475Understand?
27475Until that is decided, will you be so kind as to remain in this coach?"
27475Was he acting?
27475Was his pity because he saw how much he was to her, while he himself thought only of some one else?
27475Was it a friend, or-- or any one I could help you look for?"
27475Was it the woman whose name she had heard last night?
27475Was she to believe that story of him heard last night?
27475Well, I do n''t look as if I''d ever ranged beyond the timber, do I?"
27475Well, now, what if I prove to you, right in this camp, that I know his wife?"
27475Were there girls and wine there then?"
27475What did Overton say?"
27475What did it mean?
27475What did you do that you wanted to be all alone for this evening?
27475What difference does it make to you-- why need you care?"
27475What do you mean?
27475What for?"
27475What gives you the idea you are to be called in soon?"
27475What good advice was it you gave me yesterday about keeping clear of Selkirk Range females?
27475What if it should be the ward?
27475What is your answer?"
27475What of your school?"
27475What right to hold her hands-- to say all the things I said?
27475What was it?"
27475What was this last to be?
27475What''s the use of your changing your name, anyway?
27475What''s your reason?"
27475When was this killing supposed to be done?"
27475When, and how did you do it?"
27475Where come the sea- birds from that get lost when they fly too far from shore?
27475Where comes a white squaw from to the Kootenai lakes?"
27475Where did the stranger go?"
27475Where did you pick him up?"
27475Where is her father?"
27475Where to?"
27475Where was she, Dan?"
27475Where''s''Tana?"
27475Who could tell what her guardian intended her for?
27475Who is he?"
27475Who is playing with me?
27475Who is she?"
27475Who knows but they may be asking the same about you, if you keep fetching such pretty girls into camp?
27475Who put that cussed nonsense into your head?
27475Who?"
27475Why are you so set against her coming back?"
27475Why can you not tell more clearly where your time was spent last evening?
27475Why did n''t luck send the old vagabond hunting with the rest?
27475Why did you not tell me how good looking he was?
27475Why do you ask?"
27475Why should it have been he out of all the camp?
27475Why will you not tell where the ring came from?
27475Why will you see me half- frantic over the whole miserable affair, when you could, I am sure, easily change it?"
27475Why, that itself is an Indian name, is it not?
27475Why?"
27475Will we have to move up higher in the mountains?"
27475Will you attend to it?"
27475Will you believe, Dan, that in our short acquaintance of half an hour, we have had time for one quarrel and''make up''?
27475Will you come back?
27475Will you come, too?"
27475Will you go to- day in my boat for a little ways?"
27475Will you miss me?
27475Will you pair them off?"
27475Will you say''yes,''now?"
27475Will you send?"
27475Will you think of that?"
27475Wo n''t you accept me as a substitute for Akkomi?"
27475Wo n''t you believe me?"
27475Wo n''t you forgive me?"
27475Wo n''t you go along with me?
27475Wo n''t you let me be yours?"
27475Would it be right for me to say yes?"
27475Would they lie to me?
27475Would you rather he would be the man to do the business?"
27475Yes?
27475Yet, what was it that had changed him so?
27475You are not like other women; but-- will you kiss me?"
27475You are sick, ai n''t you?"
27475You are sick?"
27475You are welcome-- you know that; but-- what''s the use of words?
27475You ca n''t live out in the woods with a couple of miners and an Indian squaw, after your fortune is made-- don''t you see that?
27475You do n''t believe me-- do you?
27475You do n''t know Dan, I suppose?
27475You have heard something, then?
27475You know all their jargons up here; do you know that, too?"
27475You were asking me yesterday if he ever prospected in our valley, did n''t you?"
27475You''re square, too, ai n''t you?
27475and does n''t that music teacher hop around and wave his hands over my most excellent, ringing voice?
27475and his face paled a little,"why do you speak of her?"
27475and how can one speak through a double glass?
27475are there any girls at Sinna Ferry, any family folks?
27475asked the captain, as the little creature drooped drowsily with its face against''Tana''s neck;"really a child?"
27475can you tell me about the camp, or settlement, at this Sinna Ferry?
27475demanded Max, sitting bolt upright in his amazement,"a ward of yours?
27475demanded the younger man, impatiently,"where is she-- do you know?"
27475gasped Miss Seldon,"but-- how-- when?"
27475he asked, and she answered, falteringly:"How did I know?
27475he breathed, as if in understanding, and her first words swept back to him, her nervous--"Why did you come back?
27475is one of that sort not enough?
27475is that the way I get snubbed, because I grow enthusiastic over your artistic modeling and your most charming voice, Miss''Tana?"
27475or was the child simply overwrought by that tragedy told in the letters?
27475or what is it you want to tell me?"
27475she exclaimed:"lonely here?
27475she said, again with that hard, short laugh,"girls back your way do n''t get wild like that, do they?
27475she said, seeing his face grow gloomy under their cheering(?)
27475so you know her, do you?"
27475then it was ore you found?"
27475what is the meaning of that name, anyway?
27475why not have trusted him with the whole truth?
27475wo n''t somebody kill it?"
27475you like to see their wickedness prosper?"
39937''How is your Sunday- school getting along?'' 39937 ''Kitty and Ponto got to fighting something awful,''she answered,''and--''"''And where is the calf?''
39937Ai n''t you forgot the time you wrote a letter to Bill Johnson''s sister? 39937 All right,"answered the engineer, then as the man swung on the cab,"You''re a new man?"
39937And we wo n''t have to go back again, ever, will we Nell?
39937And you thought that you could keep him with you-- down there?
39937Any of my outfit here?
39937Any of you killed any one?
39937Any one got a pin?
39937Are you mixed up in it, Jim?
39937As long as the cow has a P L,spoke Powell suddenly,"I suppose it gives me a voice in the matter also?"
39937Been brandin''?
39937Bring a spoon, glass of fresh water, and some strips of flannel, if you have them?
39937But how long will it take?
39937But now I want to know how much the fine will be for Jack and Glendon?
39937But the Springs are not affected?
39937But what happened?
39937Ca n''t I be a knight? 39937 Ca n''t we go on a picnic, Marmee?"
39937Ca n''t you fix yourself up a bit?
39937Ca n''t you get us headed right, somehow?
39937Ca n''t you pay the men with checks on the stores as you have always done?
39937Dead? 39937 Did Paddy say how much he wanted?"
39937Did any of you see the brand on the cow it was with?
39937Did he die?
39937Did she never know the truth?
39937Did they catch the man?
39937Did yez iver say a cow funeral, Misthress Thraynor?
39937Did you drink below the crossing or above?
39937Did you see him kill Paddy?
39937Did you speak of it to any one else?
39937Do knights hunt for the Sangreal any more?
39937Do they fight at close quarters?
39937Do you call that gratitude?
39937Do you expect me to howl with grief? 39937 Do you know that you are setting forth the very ideas that King discussed with me the last time I saw him?
39937Do you know, I forgot that Chappo fixed a lunch for me? 39937 Do you realize what has happened?"
39937Do you suppose there is any real danger?
39937Do you think I would have told you, if I had not believed I had the strength to turn away?
39937Do you think I''m such a fool as to sign a paper that will send me to the penitentiary?
39937Do you think it wise? 39937 Do you think she done that fallin''in the road?"
39937Do you think the cattle blame us for their suffering when they look at us with their pitiful, patient eyes? 39937 Do you think there is any hope for him?"
39937Doc, do you mean ter tell me that she ai n''t got no right to Donnie? 39937 Does anybody know whar the shears is?"
39937Does he have fits?
39937Donnie, would you let me be your father, so that I can take care of your mother and you, and we all be partners as long as we live?
39937Funny combination, was n''t it? 39937 Glendon?"
39937Glendon?
39937Go back to Mexico, you Gringo dog? 39937 Going on a trip?"
39937Going to shirk it, eh?
39937Got some lard?
39937Holy, that ai n''t the girl, is it?
39937How about arranging to have him stay permanently?
39937How about some niggerfoot molasses?
39937How about taking her over with us?
39937How did Hasayampa lose the mine?
39937How did he get in?
39937How did it happen?
39937How did you catch it? 39937 How did you happen to find her?"
39937How do he bye a doin''?
39937How is he?
39937How is it?
39937How long did you live in Mexico, Señor?
39937How much is the bounty?
39937How much longer do you think the cattle will hold out, Paddy?
39937How much will it cost?
39937How soon do you think it could be arranged for me to meet him?
39937How soon will you be ready to start, Loco?
39937I asked you to tell me how far it is to the Hasayampa River?
39937I got her,he triumphed,"but something busted-- What was it?"
39937I know its all right for puppies to have''em, but does babies?
39937I understand that,answered Glendon''s wife,"but there is a fighting chance, is n''t there?"
39937I wonder how Glendon happened to locate it?
39937I wonder if it would make any difference to you if you knew the truth?
39937I wonder if you''ve got to have''em deal you a ticket if you do n''t belong in the pasture?
39937I wonder what Doc is up to?
39937I-- Do you ever dye hair or whiskers, Dunning?
39937In case there is doubt, how is it decided?
39937In the name of goodness, Allan,said Nell in despair,"what is''sleepering''?
39937Is he here?
39937Is it serious?
39937Is she all right?
39937Is that you, Chappo?
39937Is that you, Juan?
39937Is the Sanitarium almost done?
39937Is the role of Prodigal Son necessary to qualify for a fatted calf in Arizona?
39937Is there any chance of getting money from the Tuscon bank?
39937Is there anything I can do?
39937Is there anything we can do for her?
39937Is there nothing for me?
39937It settles ownership where a brand is indistinct or disputed for any reason? 39937 It''s mine-- do you hear?
39937Jest look at this dod- ratted, twistin''paper, will you? 39937 Jim, have I ever failed you yet?"
39937Losing your nerve, Glen? 39937 Marmee''s lots prettier when she laughs, is n''t she, Doctor?"
39937Marmee, ca n''t I give doctor a piece of my birthday cake?
39937Marmee, you will go, wo n''t you?
39937More of your melodramatic drivel, as usual? 39937 Much damage?"
39937No savey? 39937 No,"was the reply,"but please tell me, wo n''t you?"
39937Now, see here, Walton, why ca n''t we split the difference? 39937 Now, what about that cattle deal?"
39937Now, what is it you boys want done?
39937Of course, Nigger is coming?
39937Oh, is that so?
39937Oh, will you?
39937Oh, you do, eh?
39937Oi just got this from the stage dhriver, Yez mabbe afther hearin''Oi niver knowed how to rade an''write, Misthress Thraynor?
39937Or did he really ever own one?
39937Peachy? 39937 Reckon it will be enough?"
39937Say, Bronc, are you sure about the minister?
39937Say, Bronc, what the devil did you keep kickin''me an''trompin''on my feet for?
39937Say, Bronc,insinuated Roarer as he contemplated the bed,"Could n''t a feller go without wearin''these derned things?
39937Say, Holy,Bronco said fiercely,"what the devil do you suppose she will think of this outfit with you cussin''at her that way?"
39937Say, Larry, did they sure enough get the ice here all right?
39937Say, Larry,he called to the store- keeper,"how about this here ice- scream layout?
39937Say, Limber ai n''t that addressed to Holy? 39937 Say, Limber, are we all fired?"
39937Say, Limber, will you tell my wife? 39937 Say, Limber,"interrupted Bronco, who was usually the ruling spirit,"Do n''t you think we''d oughter get a weddin''present for''em?"
39937Say, Roarer, did your sister''s twins in Texas have fits?
39937Say, are you tryin''to hog it all yourself?
39937Say, did you notice them freezers was right along side the back door? 39937 Say, you do n''t want to eat me, do you?
39937Say,called Glendon,"has n''t that tamale girl been around yet?
39937See that peak up yonder? 39937 See you later, Glen,"said Three- fingered Jack, and Alpaugh added:"You''re not going out today, are you?"
39937Send me up? 39937 So you are six years old today?"
39937Suicide?
39937Suppose Fox were to fall with Marmee, what would I do?
39937Suppose I go over to Eureka and ask Mrs. Burns to lend us enough flour to finish up the job?
39937Suppose I sign it?
39937Suppose I talk to Limber? 39937 Suppose you come down for your dinner each night while Chappo is here?
39937Sure you will get it done by train time?
39937Tears, Nell?
39937Tell me,Powell spoke,"Is Donnie going to his grandfather?"
39937Ten years-- and then?
39937The groom is in luck to get the girl, ai n''t he? 39937 The story came back to me and I wondered how many of you who are here tonight will get''too big to come''to services tomorrow morning?"
39937Them the latest style in whiskers?
39937Think I''m Hasayampering?
39937Time''s up,announced Powell, snapping the cover of his watch and placing it in his pocket,"Well, what is your answer?"
39937Took you by surprise, coming back today, did n''t I?
39937Wait, ca n''t you? 39937 Was I thrown?"
39937Was it much of a fire?
39937Was it self- defence, Jim?
39937Was she living with her folks?
39937Was the mine ever developed?
39937Well, Walton,Dunning''s attitude was almost affectionate,"What can I do for you?
39937Well, are you going to stand by me, or not?
39937Well, do you think you could fix mine?
39937Well, so long as they brand the cattle, why cut the ears, too? 39937 Well, what d''ye think of that?"
39937Well, what do you think of it?
39937Well, what do you think of your first experience as a cowhand?
39937Well, what have you done this time?
39937Well, what of it?
39937Well, you seen me throw mine out the same time you fellers chucked yours into the dump heap, did n''t you?
39937Well,Glendon''s irritable tones sounded in her ears,"how soon can you get him ready?"
39937Well,Roarer''s tones rose shrilly in his excitement and nervousness,"Do you think any of us''d do in place of ol''Walton?
39937Were you alone?
39937Whar''did you learn to paper, anyhow?
39937Whar''s Glendon?
39937Whar''s Limber?
39937Whar''s Peachy? 39937 Whar''s the bye?"
39937What are they doing in that bunch where Limber is riding?
39937What are you doing? 39937 What are you going to do, Loco?"
39937What are you going to do?
39937What became of it?
39937What brought you here?
39937What do you mean standing there staring like an idiot?
39937What do you think about her?
39937What do you think is wrong this time, Tatters?
39937What do you think of that?
39937What fur?
39937What happened, Loco?
39937What in thunder do you think you''re doin''?
39937What is it, Jim?
39937What is it?
39937What is it?
39937What is it?
39937What is it?
39937What is it?
39937What is wrong, Limber?
39937What lady?
39937What letter?
39937What next?
39937What object would Glendon have had?
39937What of it? 39937 What the blazes is the matter?
39937What the devil do you care for the half a dozen calves he may keep you from rustling?
39937What were you doing up there?
39937What would you do if you found that the patient upon whom you are operating has not succumbed to the anaesthetic, Cuthbert? 39937 What you goin''to name it, Kid?"
39937What you sendin''fer this time, Bronc?
39937What''s he condemned for?
39937What''s it for?
39937What''s that got to do with gettin''married?
39937What''s the matter, Limber?
39937What''s the matter, old chap?
39937What''s the matter?
39937What''s the trouble?
39937What''s this for?
39937When did you get back? 39937 Where did you get that gold, Jim?"
39937Where is he?
39937Where shall I read?
39937Which way are you going?
39937Which way you goin''first?
39937Who done it?
39937Who else, Tom?
39937Who found it?
39937Who is that with the Diamond H outfit?
39937Who said he was workin''any Arizona range? 39937 Who takes charge of the body and property in such cases?"
39937Who told you?
39937Who was it?
39937Who?
39937Why did he have to put it there?
39937Why did n''t some of you muttonheads think of glue?
39937Why did n''t the Indians take the horse?
39937Why did n''t you call me?
39937Why do n''t you lay over till mornin'', Limber?
39937Why should I deny it?
39937Why should Three- fingered Jack have accused you?
39937Will it stay black, or have to be done over again?
39937Will you do what I tell you?
39937Wo n''t he bite?
39937Wo n''t you need Limber here?
39937Wo n''t you need it, yourself?
39937Wo n''t you please let it go home now? 39937 Wonder if she''s wrote that she''ll come?"
39937You do n''t think Glendon killed King, do you?
39937You go hunting, Leember? 39937 You have frijoles, no?"
39937You say the woman is looking for ranch work?
39937You would swear it? 39937 You?"
39937''Rent me out during a drouth,''will they?
39937A tall, heavily set man slouched out, and the Mexican paused to ask;"Shall I saddle my pony, señor?"
39937Ai n''t it a shame?
39937Ai n''t she, Limber?"
39937Ai n''t some men lucky?"
39937Ai n''t that your ol''buckskin friend?"
39937Am I such a scarecrow as all that?"
39937An''Glen kin take him away anytime he wants to?"
39937An''that''s all the flour thar was on the ranch?"
39937Any one see it?
39937As Powell turned again to his patient, she asked very quietly,"Is there anything I can do?"
39937As he opened the door, she said imploringly,"It was self- defence, was n''t it, Jim?"
39937As the grey horse turned back toward the Circle Cross, Donnie was silent for a few minutes, then asked,"Where is your little boy, now?"
39937Been fined for shooting up the town again?"
39937Boy- the- boy, have yez iver been to Nye Yark?"
39937But, now what I want to know, Doc, is what are we goin''to do about that saddle and money?
39937Ca n''t ye swap us?"
39937Can I trust you with it?"
39937Can you beat it?"
39937Can you beat that?
39937Carry your colours bravely, comrade, that I may have the courage to go on with my fight-- won''t you?"
39937Catch your men?"
39937Could they reach it in time?
39937Cut without pity?"
39937Darn it all, why did n''t Limber stick along with us all the time and keep us from gettin''into this mix- up?"
39937Did he give you any option?"
39937Did he hurt you any?"
39937Did n''t expect any visitors tonight, eh?"
39937Did you ever see such a mix- up?
39937Did you ever think that life is just like a plant, Paddy?
39937Did you say Alpaugh and Glendon?"
39937Did you see how fur we resisted?
39937Do n''t you know the man who deserts, influences many others to drop their colours too?
39937Do n''t you remember?
39937Do you know Donnie is going away from me?
39937Do you know how to use a thermometer or take a pulse?"
39937Do you know when I will go back there?
39937Do you think I would barter it, like Esau, even though my menu might read,''Pottage a la champagne and truffles''?"
39937Do you think the Indians took it?"
39937Do you, honestly, believe anyone would of paid for''em?"
39937Eh?"
39937Glendon lighted a cigarette and an ugly sneer distorted his lips,"Want to tie him to your apron- strings, the way you had me tied?
39937Glendon?"
39937Goin''back soon?"
39937Had you thought of that?"
39937Hair trimmed a leetle bit?
39937Have you forgotten that prisoners go mad from solitary confinement?"
39937He broke off and looked at the others, as he said,"Have we got a whitewash brush that is fitten to use?"
39937He drew out his check- book, saying,"I suppose this is permissable?"
39937His hand lifted her face gently,"Sweetheart, what are your thoughts?"
39937Holy grinned at him and demanded,"What do you want me to do for_ you_?"
39937How close was he, now?
39937How do you start her?"
39937How does it strike you?
39937How far away is Hasayampa River?
39937How is Pet today?"
39937How soon will you be ready to hit the trail?"
39937How will that suit you?"
39937How''d we know that he knowed her, anyway?
39937How''s the arm this morning, Donnie?"
39937I clatchee lunch in Bloss''s dining- loom or I clatchee lunch in chuck- house for lady and lily bloy?"
39937I waited till her prayer ended, then asked,''My dear, what are you doing?''
39937I wonder how on earth they managed it?
39937In three days more my boy will be taken out of my life and given to strangers who care nothing for him?
39937Is he dead?"
39937Is it a bluff, or sure enough free- for- all?"
39937Is it necessary?"
39937Is n''t he Deputy Constable?"
39937Is n''t he pretty?
39937Is n''t he the smart little geezer, though?"
39937Katherine swallowed the contents of the tumbler, while Powell added,"You have a couch in the other room?
39937Limber looked at Powell gravely,"Now do n''t that beat you?"
39937Limber paused in retrospection, and Powell said,"What happened next?"
39937Look like the''green fields of Virginia,''do I?
39937Mollified, she answered,"What had you thought of doing?"
39937Mrs. Burns looked at the remnant of paste in the tub before she asked,"What on earth did you use?"
39937Not many, but ca n''t you remember that I let you keep Donnie instead of sending him to father, as I had a legal right to do?"
39937Now, I suppose you''d want it dark, would n''t you?"
39937Now, if that ai n''t rayson, be jabers, phwat is it?"
39937Now, what have you got to say about it?"
39937Of course, Limber ai n''t in on this deal; but the rest of us is, ai n''t we, boys?"
39937Off on a hunting trip?"
39937Oh, why does God let us make such terrible mistakes when He knows we have only one little life to live?
39937On this--?
39937Or is the''continued in our next''too important?"
39937Paddy squinted at her from under his heavy eyebrows, then broke the silence, saying,"Did yez iver say ould man Brandther?"
39937Panchita was dead-- but where was the money?
39937Phwat''s the damidge?''
39937Powell called to him,"How much will you charge to haul this load to the calaboose?"
39937Roarer''s childish accents pleaded,"Ca n''t you help me get into this collar?
39937Say, did any one ever tell you about the time Hasayampa fit the mountain lion?"
39937See how he picks a cow and follows it up?
39937Seen any signs of Glendon?"
39937Shall I trim''em both?"
39937Shave?
39937She passed into the room, turned and held out her hands to him, saying simply,"Where else should I be, Jim, when you are in trouble?
39937Spying on me?"
39937Suppose we just put''em in the outside pockets of our coats and let the fingers hang out, to show we got''em?"
39937Surely you ca n''t make any objection to that?"
39937Surely you will not hesitate, now?"
39937The Boss seated himself at his desk, looked up and said,"What''s the matter, boys?
39937The doctor hastened into the house, lighted a lamp and read;_ Dear Doctor:_ Will you come back with Juan?
39937The girl''s lucky to get married, ai n''t she, stead of dyin''an old maid?
39937The next morning at breakfast, Donnie asked,"What are we going to do today, Marmee?"
39937Then Limber continued,"I do n''t know just how to figger it out, but some one''s tryin''to make trouble for the Diamond H.""How''s that?"
39937Then after a short period, he asked,"But what did they do with the bustle?
39937Then he asked,"Do n''t you boys intend to come in and meet the new Boss and his mother?
39937Then she turned,"Limber, wo n''t you call Allan?"
39937Then turning on him passionately, she cried,"Why did you come?
39937They will be awful glad to see him come home, wo n''t they?"
39937Tired?"
39937Tom Graham, the constable of Cochise and leader of the posse, leaned down and said,"What was that?
39937Traynor''s eyebrows knit angrily,"Any of them here?"
39937Understand?"
39937WITHOUT FEAR AND WITHOUT REPROACH F. C. H. PART ONE CHAPTER ONE"Everything all right, Limber?"
39937Walton preened foolishly and tried to look incredulous, as he replied,"Do you really think so, Holy?"
39937Was he one of them?
39937We all seen them burros eatin''the flour sack, did n''t we?
39937We''ve got the laugh on him, have n''t we?"
39937Whar are they?"
39937Whar''s Peachy?"
39937What business has a man with a family getting into such a mess, anyhow?"
39937What d''ye know about that, Glendon?"
39937What have I to do with Three- fingered Jack?
39937What is it?"
39937What started you, anyway, Holy?"
39937What the devil are we goin''to do about it?"
39937What the devil is it?"
39937What was the joke?"
39937What was the use of fighting any longer?
39937What''s my wife to you anyhow?
39937What''s next?
39937What''s the trouble?"
39937When he clome?
39937Where am I at?"
39937Where are they?"
39937Where is it?"
39937Where''s a glass?"
39937Who got that souvenir?"
39937Who is she?"
39937Why did n''t she let us alone, anyhow?
39937Why do n''t you learn Chinee?
39937Why should n''t you get married, I''d like to know?"
39937Why should we go on struggling?
39937Will you stand by me?
39937Will you take me to the hotel?"
39937With hopeful expressions they trailed through the door, but halted as he called,"What''s her name?"
39937Wo n''t that be fine?"
39937Wo n''t we, boys?"
39937Wo n''t you, Limber?"
39937Would he have the strength to live up to the Vision?
39937You have n''t all gone and gotten married, have you?"
39937You have not been in Mexico, Señor?"
39937You never knew Ramoncita?"
39937You wo n''t refuse to do this for me, will you?
39937endorsed Limber,"But, what kin we get?
61946Afraid to tell, eh?
61946And if I refuse?
61946And talk about the mines again, eh?
61946And while they''re puzzling over it, why would n''t it be the wisest move for us to vamoose?
61946Are you going to leave those-- er-- men?
61946Are you hurt, girlie? 61946 Are you positive that you saw the whiskers clear of his face?"
61946But if they are swindlers wo n''t they get wise and jump before you can receive a reply?
61946But suppose he wo n''t talk?
61946Ca n''t we take a couple of shots at the guy?
61946Can it be, sir, that you are the one who sent me the wine?
61946Could you get at them, or Howard at any rate, for wearing false whiskers?
61946Did you ever know me to run away under fire?
61946Did you learn anything about the thieves?
61946Did you notice anything about the horse that brown bearded man rode?
61946Did you see any one near me who might have picked it up, unnoticed in the excitement?
61946Did your mother know he was coming down?
61946Do we look like men who would steal horses?
61946Do you know what''s in the package?
61946Do you suppose they''re after us or are they just out on a little game of their own?
61946Does she have these spells often?
61946Food? 61946 Found''em?"
61946Giving you a profit of practically twenty- five dollars, eh? 61946 Have you any map of them or, rather, as of course you have one to show in New York, will you let me take it and show it to father?
61946Have you heard anything about these men being mine owners on their way to New York to raise capital?
61946Have you thought of everything?
61946He thinks the request of a Rozier is''nothing,''does he?
61946Henry Farnam, are you a fool? 61946 How can he, when he is n''t here?"
61946How do we get to the Widow Sims?
61946How much did you get for the cow?
61946How much did you send to Kansas City?
61946How much_ was_ there in the vault last night, old baldy?
61946How? 61946 How?"
61946How?
61946I do n''t seem to remember your face,purred the bandit- chieftain,"when did I ever see you before?"
61946If_ I_ appropriated one of his ponies, why did n''t my companions help themselves?
61946Is that you, chief?
61946Is this Mr. Hiram Rozier?
61946Is this one of your father''s guests, the capitalists?
61946It''s too bad, Fred, you did n''t do better,he began, but the lad blurted:"Too bad?
61946May I suggest that young Mr. Rozier be sent on his mission at once? 61946 Nothing else?"
61946Now, sirrah, will you answer me?
61946Oh, Jess, why ca n''t you be satisfied with getting away?
61946Oh, is it? 61946 Oh, were you?
61946Shall you want me any more?
61946Stole her cow? 61946 Susie, my sister, in Monegaw Springs?"
61946Take a camp stool, wo n''t you? 61946 The question is, where can we take him where he''ll be safe?"
61946The roan your father said was stolen?
61946Then what were you doing? 61946 Then where do I come in?"
61946Then why did n''t you interfere before the matter had gone so far?
61946Then why were you going back to the Springs?
61946They flashed a big roll of bills?
61946Tim Mason? 61946 Unless what, Miss Shaw?"
61946We can talk any time, Jess,she rejoined,"Would n''t it be best to put your horses in the barn before they''re seen and recognized?"
61946Well, what do you propose instead?
61946Well, what do_ you_ suggest?
61946What are they doing here?
61946What are you doing here?
61946What can this be?
61946What do you propose to do?
61946What do you suppose that means?
61946What does that mean?
61946What if there are? 61946 What is it, Henry?"
61946What is it?
61946What is it?
61946What is there to hide us up in the attic?
61946What men?
61946What''s the row?
61946What''s the trouble? 61946 What''s the use of wasting time over the boy?"
61946What?
61946Whatever put it into your head to charge Dillaby with being a thief?
61946When did you leave the Springs?
61946Where are the men folks?
61946Where are these fellows?
61946Where are your eyes, boy? 61946 Where have you been since you pointed my tent out to your friend?"
61946Where''s the rest of the money?
61946Where''s your boss?
61946Whereaway?
61946Which way do we take to get to Consollas''farms?
61946Who are you, anyhow?
61946Who sent you, Dillaby or old Rozier?
61946Who told you?
61946Who were they?
61946Who, then?
61946Why did n''t you stay in the Springs?
61946Why do n''t they fire back?
61946Will some of you gentlemen kindly send for the constable? 61946 Wo n''t it be great if he is?"
61946Wo n''t it make the people here ask questions if two men come and two go at night?
61946Would n''t it be best for us to shift back into our''Wild West''togs?
61946You do n''t mean you think they''re Jesse and some of his men?
61946You do n''t, eh?
61946You mean that_ you_ refuse a Rozier''s request?
61946You mean the stuff''s been doped?
61946You wo n''t accuse us of stealing''em if we ride''em, will you?
61946_ But I do n''t believe the answer will say they are known!_"Now, is what you are to do clear in your mind?
61946_ Now_ will you believe me?
61946_ Wrong?_ Well, rather. 61946 After vainly trying to attract the attention of the inmates by scratching on the canvas, he called:I say, Mr. Howard, let a fellow in, wo n''t you?
61946All ready?
61946Amazed at the words, three or four of the onlookers asked:"What''s the trouble?
61946Amazed, the great outlaw ordered a halt, then demanded:"Are you sure?"
61946Any hams in it now?"
61946Anything wrong?"
61946Are n''t we taking you out of your way?"
61946Are the flues big enough?
61946Are you hurt?"
61946Are you in the habit of going''round sticking your head into every camp you see?"
61946Assured on this point, Jesse went to the point without any preliminaries:"You stole Mrs. Thomas Shaw''s cow from her today, did n''t you?"
61946But ere they could recover from it, the inquisitor roared:"If you were n''t at the camp ground, how did you know your father accused me?"
61946But if you want to do me a favour, will you ride faster and keep quiet?
61946Ca n''t we crawl up one of the fireplaces?
61946Come in, wo n''t you?
61946Did he knife you?"
61946Did you try the fireplaces?"
61946Do I look like a fool enough to let you go back into the house?
61946Finally, getting desperate, he took out his cigar case, stammering:"Have a-- have a cigar?"
61946Genevieve?"
61946Go to Harris''rescue, will you?
61946Have you ever seen him before?"
61946He_ is_ one of that tribe, eh?"
61946How dare you say such a thing?"
61946How did you know they were riding?"
61946How do you know where to look?"
61946If I order you to go back, why should n''t you go?"
61946Is that the way you made all your money, stealing food from the mouths of helpless women and children?"
61946It ai n''t no josh about the money, is it?"
61946It makes you blanch when you think that you and your money- loving father insulted_ me_ and set detectives on my track, eh?
61946Oh, why did n''t you tell us?"
61946Pausing when the boy closed the door behind him, he snarled:"Did you get it?"
61946Prior, and satisfy ourselves?
61946Prior?"
61946Recovering quickly from his surprise he bowed, saying at the same time:"Let me carry your bag for you?"
61946Riding for a while in silence, when they were out of sight of the pasture Frank demanded:"What was in that note?"
61946So furious at the failure that, for a moment, he could only gurgle, the banker finally blurted:"Why not?"
61946Striding so close that their bodies almost touched, he rasped:"Why did you follow the girls?
61946Summoning an angry expression, the storekeeper turned to the bandits and demanded:"Where did you get that roan?"
61946Then dropping his harsh tone, he inquired:"Where were you- all bound for when this interruption occurred?"
61946Then his face brightened:"You do n''t suppose your daughter could cozzen Howard into talking about his mines, do you?"
61946Then turning again to the astounded onlookers, he asked:"Do any of you know this man?
61946Then, raising his voice he cried:"What are you doing, down on your hands and knees, spying into my camp?"
61946They''re not vagrants because they have money and if we should arrest them as suspicious characters what could we prove?"
61946We were going to make them lead us to you and--""So that''s why you shot at them, knowing they were women?"
61946Were you anywhere near me when we were punishing Consollas?"
61946What are those men running for?"
61946What are you up to, anyhow?"
61946What are_ you_ going to do?"
61946What on airth kin they want here?"
61946What on earth''s_ he_ doing here?"
61946What''s that cry?"
61946When--""Is n''t there another trail by which we can reach the cabin?"
61946Which do you prefer?"
61946Why?"
61946Will you never learn to mind your own business?
61946Wo n''t they do?"
61946Wo n''t you come in?
61946Wo n''t you_ please_, at the request of the girl whose life you saved, spare the poor fellow the awful punishment?
61946You come_ here_ for food?"
61946You may have got the best of them twice, but will you come off so well the third time?"
61946ejaculated Clell,"so she''s sweet on the booby, eh?
61946she murmured as she beheld her father''s face, then, turning her head, asked:"Where is the gentleman who saved my life?"
61946why did I ever get you down here, anyway?
61946you do n''t suppose it was young Rozier, do you?"
4702About-- Black Roger?
4702Am I not right, M''sieu Carrigan? 4702 An''you promise give me zat fight, w''en you are strong?"
4702And Carmin Fanchet?
4702And Marie- Anne?
4702And YOU, until the last-- did you not fight to have her put behind prison bars with her brother?
4702And YOU?
4702And he told you it is determined that I shall fight Bateese in the morning?
4702And one who tries to kill-- who almost succeeds-- what is the penalty for that?
4702And the other two?
4702And why-- why should she insist in a matter such as this, which properly should be settled among men?
4702And you are disappointed, St. Pierre? 4702 And you are willing to wager the point, M''sieu David?"
4702And you insist, M''sieu David?
4702And you will forgive me for-- for saying such beastly things to you?
4702And you will help me up?
4702And you''ll take me with you?
4702And you?
4702And-- Golden-- Hair?
4702Because I talked about this woman, Carmin Fanchet?
4702But after I have told you-- what then? 4702 But ze head, m''sieu?"
4702Did I-- hurt you?
4702Did he tell you about it?
4702Did n''t Bateese explain to you last night?
4702Did n''t Bateese tell you that?
4702Did you not expect me to return and apologize for leaving you so suddenly this afternoon? 4702 Do I mak''ze word plain so m''sieu compren''?"
4702Do n''t you realize what has happened? 4702 Do you care?
4702Do you mind telling me who you are, and where we are going?
4702Do you see that, Concombre Bateese?
4702Does ze little partridge rooster keep his claws warm in those in ze winter? 4702 For God''s sake, Audemard-- tell me--""I, m''sieu?
4702For your husband?
4702Has she not the sweetest voice in the world, m''sieu? 4702 Have you seen Bateese this morning?"
4702Her camp?
4702Home--?
4702How are you, David?
4702I ask you,said he,"if you would really stake your life in a matter such as that?
4702I do n''t mind telling you it is going to be difficult for me to do that-- because-- well, this is a most unusual situation, is n''t it? 4702 I say, is there another woman like her in the world, m''sieu?"
4702I was thinking, Bateese-- what will happen to me if you get me in those arms when we fight? 4702 I wonder,"she said in a low voice,"what Roger Audemard''s own story might be if he were here to tell it?"
4702I? 4702 Is he an old man?"
4702Is it true that St. Pierre can not whip you, Bateese?
4702Is it true that you have given your word to fight Bateese?
4702Is that why you have given your men orders to kill me if I try to escape?
4702It does n''t hurt so much now, does it?
4702It would n''t be fair to tell you, would it?
4702Joe, what do you say-- shall you and I return and put up a REAL fight for them?
4702May I?
4702PAR LES MILLE CORNES DU DIABLE, you t''ink Bateese lie, m''sieu? 4702 Shall we be waiting long?"
4702She is your wife, Audemard, is it possible you do n''t love her?
4702She says that I am to make no effort to leave this bateau-- that I am to be killed if I try to escape? 4702 Somet''ing ver''funny once more, is eet-- w''at?"
4702St. Pierre prefers these-- on occasions,she said,"Do you?"
4702St. Pierre say no man make beeg noise at-- what you call heem-- funeral? 4702 St. Pierre, do you lie?
4702Tell me, did she not fight?
4702Then I am a prisoner? 4702 Then-- you judged her without absolute knowledge of fact?
4702This-- this Roger Audemard-- if you catch him-- what will you do with him?
4702W''at you say, m''sieu?
4702We have moved from the tar- sands?
4702Well, what did you think of it, comrade?
4702What have you done to Marie- Anne-- your wife?
4702What!--You dare talk lak that to Concombre Bateese, w''at is great''st fightin''man on all T''ree River? 4702 When will this man St. Pierre come to see me?"
4702Who is the other?
4702Why are they not camping over here with us?
4702Why do you say''almost''?
4702Why is it impossible?
4702Why is it that you sit in darkness?
4702Why no light over there in the corner, and why sing that death- song to chase away the devil when there is no devil near?
4702Why not En Roulant ma Boule, my sweet Jeanne? 4702 Why not come out squarely, honestly, like men?
4702Why play like little children, M''sieu Carrigan?
4702Why''madame,''when I have given you permission to call me''Marie- Anne''?
4702Will you bring me my pack and clothes in the morning? 4702 Will you eat-- now?"
4702With these?
4702Yes?
4702You are not hurt-- badly?
4702You are surprised? 4702 You believe you are going to hang me?"
4702You had an idea, M''sieu David?
4702You have not gone to bed, m''sieu?
4702You lak ze fight, m''sieu?
4702You love all that, m''sieu?
4702You made them?
4702You mak''guess, eh?
4702You mean that I must make my own guess?
4702You mean?
4702You see somet''ing ver''fonny, m''sieu?
4702You understand, David? 4702 You would do that?"
4702You would stake your life?
4702An''you will w''ip heem, eh, m''sieu?
4702And I am wondering-- after they do happen-- if you will care so very much?"
4702And I''m going to ask you, M''sieu David, will you play square with me?
4702And St. Pierre?
4702And always, day and night, he is asking that same question,''Has any one seen Black Roger Audemard?''
4702And as for a wager--""Yes-- what have you to wager?"
4702And for the first time he asked himself another question, Where was the man, St. Pierre?
4702And had Marie- Anne done that?
4702And he heard again the mad monotone of Andre''s voice, crying plaintively,"HAS ANY ONE SEEN BLACK ROGER AUDEMARD?"
4702And if that was conceivable, what had they done with Marie- Anne?
4702And in his head a voice seemed to cry out to him,"What did Carmin Fanchet ever do to you?"
4702And my men?
4702And on top of that disgrace-- you insist that I pay the wager?"
4702And she did n''t wait to bandage ME up, did she?"
4702And the next?"
4702And then,"Will you light the lamps, M''sieu David?"
4702And tonight-- now-- was she with St. Pierre, waiting as they had waited last night for the rising of the moon?
4702And what did you know about Black Roger Audemard?"
4702And where was Marie- Anne?
4702And you-- in my place-- what would YOU do, m''sieu?"
4702Are you a little glad, Marie- Anne?"
4702Are you coming with me to the proue, m''sieu?"
4702Are you sure she said that?"
4702Are you through questioning me, M''sieu David?
4702But I blame no one, except--""Carmin Fanchet?"
4702But did she know more than that?
4702But what was his own struggle compared with this tragedy which St. Pierre was now facing?
4702But why ask you questions if you wo n''t answer them?"
4702But why that senseless play of falsehood?
4702But why the deuce had n''t she brought up his pack?
4702But why, when she saw his eyes open a little later, had she cried out her gratitude to God?
4702But-- tell me!--Could you see?
4702COULD she forget?
4702Can you guess why?
4702Can you suggest a better way-- between men like you and me?"
4702Did I promise I would not kill you and sink your body to the bottom of the river?
4702Did I say I would let you go?
4702Did she feel that shame as he was feeling it?
4702Did she think he was a scoundrel?
4702Did you ever hear a sweeter or as sweet?
4702Did you ever hear a sweeter voice?"
4702Did you hear?
4702Did you sleep well, M''sieu Carrigan?"
4702Do n''t you know that according to every law of God and man I should arrest you and give you over to the Law?
4702Do n''t you?"
4702Do you agree?"
4702Do you comprehend me, m''sieu?
4702Do you hold anything against her?"
4702Do you recall that I gave you any other guarantee, M''sieu Carrigan?
4702Do you understand, m''sieu?
4702Do you?"
4702Ees it zat?"
4702Eh, coq de bruyere?
4702Eh, shall we mak''ze bargain?"
4702HAS ANY ONE SEEN BLACK ROGER AUDEMARD?"
4702Had Black Roger turned a clever coup by leaving his wife there, while he came on ahead of the bateau with Carmin Fanchet?
4702Had St. Pierre been making a fool of him?
4702Had she been his friend, using all her influence to protect him, because her heart was sick of the environment of which she was a part?
4702Had she forgotten?
4702Have n''t you anything to say?"
4702Have you heard of wan garcon named Joe Clamart, m''sieu?
4702He was silent for a moment, then said,"I raved about a number of things when I was sick, did n''t I?"
4702Hesitate?
4702How do I know?
4702How had Bateese turned the trick?
4702How much did she know?
4702If St. Pierre was Black Roger, why would he confess to that fact simply to pay a wager?
4702If he had in him the desire to kill St. Pierre now, might not St. Pierre have had an equally just desire to kill him?
4702If she believed it, why did she not treat him a bit more considerately?
4702Is it a go?"
4702Is it not possible for a big heart like mine to do that, m''sieu?"
4702Is it not so, m''sieu?
4702Is it not so, m''sieu?"
4702Is it not so?
4702Is it not so?
4702Is it not so?"
4702Is it not so?"
4702Is it possible that you do n''t comprehend my own duty?
4702Is it?"
4702Is n''t that fair?"
4702Is she sleepin''over there-- in the camp?"
4702Is that it, Bateese?"
4702Is that it?
4702Is that not fair?
4702Is this another bit of trickery?"
4702It is not good for you: Bateese, will you tell m''sieu not to talk?"
4702It was-- a joke?"
4702Non?
4702Or ees it zat you grow frighten because ver''soon you stan''up an''fight Concombre Bateese?
4702Or had they struck aside from the trail?
4702Or was it the big bateau rocking under his feet?
4702Or would you rather be alone?"
4702Oui?
4702Pierre?"
4702Pierre?"
4702So what else can I do?
4702Some day when St. Pierre comes, will you teach me how to use them?"
4702Surely you would not break in upon their love- making?"
4702Tell me if I am right?
4702The fury died out of his face, but his great hands remained clenched as he said, for David alone,"That was a playful blow, m''sieu?
4702Then why is it you would be my friend and Roger Audemard''s enemy?
4702Then, as he bent over the sweep with his great back to David, he chuckled audibly, and said:"Would you go, m''sieu?
4702WAS THIS MAN ST. PIERRE?
4702WHY, m''sieu?"
4702WHY?"
4702Was he alone in danger?
4702Was it Bateese, inspired by some sort of malformed humor?
4702Was it fair or honest to destroy her simply because you thought she might be a partner in her brother''s crimes?"
4702Was it possible that St. Pierre Boulain was playing a huge joke on him?
4702Was my head bad?"
4702Was n''t it splendid?"
4702Was not that enough?
4702Wat happen w''en you look t''rough ze glass up there, eh?
4702Were they smiling and offering him their hands, even as they knew he was about to die?
4702What I must do?"
4702What are you going to do next?"
4702What could be their object in wanting him to believe she was still aboard the bateau?
4702What could she have done more terrible than I have done?"
4702What do the Police say about Roger Audemard?"
4702What had worked the sudden transformation in her?
4702What is the matter?"
4702What mad impulse could it be that dragged them still farther into the path of death?
4702What reason could he have for letting him live at all?
4702What terrible thing did she do to you, M''sieu?"
4702What terrible thing did she do to you?
4702What the deuce did it mean?
4702What the deuce did prettiness matter in the present situation?
4702What would he have done in St. Pierre''s place?
4702What would this man, her husband, think and do if he knew that his wife had given up her bedroom to this stranger?
4702What would you do?"
4702Where had Black Roger and the Broken Man gone?
4702Where is St. Pierre, and when shall we see him?"
4702Who was it St. Pierre had called sweetheart?
4702Who was this stranger who was pot- shotting at him with such deadly animosity from the ambush below?
4702Why did your wife try to kill me behind the rock?
4702Why do you hesitate?"
4702Why had Marie- Anne nursed him back to life?
4702Why had not Bateese killed him?
4702Why had she labored to save the life she had so atrociously coveted a minute before?
4702Why you no hit Concombre Bateese, m''sieu?
4702Why, m''sieu?"
4702Why?
4702Why?
4702Will you also promise not to ask me questions, which I can not answer-- until St. Pierre comes?"
4702Will you forgive me-- and accept my gratitude?"
4702Wo n''t you tell me why you shot me, and why that change came over you when you saw me lying there?"
4702Would any other woman in the world have given her hand like that to the man who had helped to kill her brother?"
4702Would she confess to him the secret of that precious moment when she had lain close against his breast, her arms about him, her face pressed to his?
4702Would she reveal EVERYTHING to St. Pierre-- her husband?
4702Would she tell St. Pierre of the many hours they had spent together?
4702Would you care for that?
4702Would you rather put out the lights and go to bed?"
4702You COMPREN''?
4702You hear w''at I say?"
4702You judged her-- as you hinted in your fever-- because she fought so desperately to save a brother who had gone wrong?"
4702You lissen?
4702You listen hard w''at I say?"
4702You love ma belle Jeanne-- Marie- Anne?
4702You threaten me with death?"
4702You understan'', m''sieu agent de police?"
4702You unnerstan''?"
40038Ai n''t Mort''s wife startin''t''git big again?...
40038An''if I do n''t?
40038And then you''ll let me leave here?
40038Answer me, Cavendish-- who is Andrew Munson?
40038Answer you an''then go an''get hanged? 40038 Any more to say, Lonergan?"
40038Are n''t you,she demanded,"having a lot to say-- for a cowhand?"
40038Are you scared of a few shrubs?
40038Are you sure,began Wallie,"none of you knows who that masked man is?"
40038Are you wide- awake now, Bryant?
40038Argument? 40038 Arrest?
40038Better?
40038But now that Mort is going to recover, he''ll of course be punished for murder, wo n''t he?
40038But this gent called Yuma-- didn''t Miss Penny tell yuh he was still around after Bryant left?
40038But what about the stolen cattle?
40038But what was he doing there? 40038 But what''s been goin''on here?"
40038But who was that masked man with Bryant?
40038But why?
40038But you think they are?
40038But, Uncle Bryant,said Penny seriously,"are you sure you have n''t any outlaws working here?
40038Could you hear what was said inside, Tonto?
40038D''you mind,he drawled in a cocksure manner,"if I have a few words to say?"
40038D''you think I''m fool enough to tell you? 40038 Did n''t I tell you, when I suggested that you come here and help me out, that I''d see you well protected?"
40038Did n''t he say anything?
40038Did n''t he say when he was coming back?
40038Did n''t you know it?
40038Did you say_ you_ shot Mort?
40038Did you wake me up tuh ask_ that_?
40038Do any of the men from the Basin ride this way?
40038Do n''t believe me, eh?
40038Do n''t you see the spot we''re in now, Tonto? 40038 Do n''t you think that would be justified?"
40038Do you know who stabbed you?
40038Do you live here?
40038Do you mean to imply that Cavendish is n''t our right name?
40038Does n''t it,asked Penny,"make some difference when the signature is secured by threat of torture?"
40038Fer what?
40038First of all, what do you know about the murder of some Texas Rangers in Bryant''s Gap?
40038Get the kids tuh bed?
40038Gimme the lend of a chaw, will yuh?...
40038Goin''tuh be stubborn again, eh? 40038 Has Gimlet been buried yet?"
40038Has he returned from town?
40038Has that old buzzard confessed?
40038Have any trouble?
40038Have you any idea who ambushed us?
40038Have you ever ridden up the side of Thunder Mountain?
40038Have you,asked the masked man,"any propositions?"
40038Have you?
40038Have yuh seen him readin''of late?
40038He''s out?
40038How close to it is he?
40038How do I know?
40038How else could I git home? 40038 How long ago,"she said,"did Uncle Bryant leave?"
40038How long,he wondered,"in the name of Mercy, how long can he keep this up?"
40038How many of those other men are wanted by the law?
40038How''d he git here?
40038How?
40038Huh? 40038 Huh?"
40038I-- I do n''t want yuh tuh git sore about it...."_ Wal?_"I thought it was a right smart scheme of yores, the way yuh handled Mort.
40038If he ai n''t a crook, why does he let crooks hang out here? 40038 If you''re right, what''re you goin''to do about it?"
40038In the clear on what?
40038Is he dead?
40038Is it anyone we know?
40038Is something wrong, Becky?
40038Is there enough light in here for you to see it?
40038Is-- is Silver for sale?
40038It''d be downright unsafe here if somethin''happened tuh Bryant, would n''t it, ma''am?
40038It''s legal, ai n''t it?
40038Jeb,she said,"is it true that Uncle Bryant''s eyes are going back on him?"
40038Law men?
40038Look here, I ca n''t go on callin''yuh''stranger''; jest what should I call yuh?
40038Look here, stranger, how long d''yuh figger on leavin''me like this? 40038 Love him?"
40038M- me fib?
40038Makin''a sort o''game of it, eh? 40038 Me?
40038Me?
40038Meaning what?
40038Mort kilt his wife, did n''t he?
40038Mort?
40038Mort?
40038My name to what paper?
40038My- my uncle''s shot... then there were two shots?
40038No need?
40038Now that that''s settled,said Mort,"how soon is Rangoon due here?"
40038Now what is this big scheme of yours that''s to put us in the clear? 40038 Now what''ll we do with him?"
40038Now what''s the matter with that?
40038Now,he finished,"tell me, did that man who passed me find Rangoon?"
40038Oh--Penny lifted her eyebrows questioningly"--you did?"
40038One word, just the name of the man, can you tell me that?
40038Shall we go into the other room?
40038She needs me?
40038She was n''t?
40038Shot?
40038Silver?
40038Silver?
40038So ai n''t it logical tuh think he might o''kilt Gimlet, jest like Gimlet said, then rid up the mountain, an''killed Rangoon?
40038So you believe in Yuma?
40038Sort of nervy, ai n''t yuh?
40038Strange? 40038 Suppose,"muttered Yuma,"Bryant was n''t the leader of the pack?"
40038Tell me, if you can, who did this?
40038Tell me,said Penny softly,"what were Vince and Mort talking about, the other night in the cottonwoods?"
40038That Yuma was the boss an''that he had a hold on Bryant an''Bryant had tuh do what he wanted? 40038 Then he ai n''t dead?"
40038Then she''s done outen her share?
40038Then the Basin can be entered without going through this canyon?
40038Then you did n''t intend to kill him?
40038There''s someone giving him orders; who is that?
40038Tonto-- is that your name?
40038Uncle Bryant,she said softly,"are you sure you can trust Vince and Mort with the authority you give them?"
40038Uncle Bryant?
40038Vince?
40038Wait for what? 40038 Wal?"
40038Was n''t it Bryant himself who helped your brother escape from jail last night in Red Oak?
40038Well, what about him? 40038 Well, what is it?"
40038Well, what''re we waiting for?
40038Well?
40038Whar''d he come from?
40038What about Wallie, and Mort?
40038What about her?
40038What about him?
40038What about it?
40038What about it?
40038What about me?
40038What about that masked man? 40038 What about that other document?"
40038What about that purty girl?
40038What are their names?
40038What are you getting at?
40038What d''ya want done with the remains?
40038What d''you want?
40038What d''yuh know about them?
40038What did he say?
40038What do you take me for, a sissy? 40038 What do you want here?"
40038What do you want to talk about?
40038What do you want?
40038What if I starve, what if I''m et up by animals?
40038What in hell''s yore part in things around here?
40038What is it you want to show me?
40038What kind of trouble? 40038 What o''Becky?"
40038What the hell d''you care?
40038What the hell does it look like I''m doin''? 40038 What the hell?"
40038What the--?
40038What was that?
40038What''s new, Jeb?
40038What''s that?
40038What''s that?
40038What''s the difference?
40038What''s the matter with you?
40038What''s the matter, Gimlet? 40038 What''s the use?"
40038What''s your name?
40038What,he asked,"are your plans now?"
40038Where are the rest of the men who work here?
40038Where at,cried Yuma,"is my girl?"
40038Where did you come from?
40038Where have the other men gone?
40038Where is he now?
40038Where is he now?
40038Where is it? 40038 Where is this hidin''place?"
40038Where they at now?
40038Where was he at?
40038Where was your camp, Tonto?
40038Where you been?
40038Where yuh goin''?
40038Where''s that hidin''place?
40038Who are yuh?
40038Who done it, who shot him?
40038Who done this?
40038Who else could be? 40038 Who is he?"
40038Who is it an''what d''ya want?
40038Who is that Indian''s friend?
40038Who is with Vince?
40038Who owns the white horse?
40038Who the hell are you?
40038Who told yuh,he barked,"tuh ask that?"
40038Who was in the party that ambushed those Texas Rangers?
40038Who was that there friend?
40038Who you think leader?
40038Who''d want to kill poor Mort? 40038 Who''s going to stop me?"
40038Who,he asked,"are you?"
40038Who,he cried aloud,"who was he?
40038Who,said Wallie,"is worrying?"
40038Who,the masked man asked himself,"is Andrew Munson?"
40038Who?
40038Why are you here?
40038Why did n''t Uncle Bryant tell us to sign the agreement, or whatever it is?
40038Why did you mention Yuma?
40038Why do you think he''s losing it?
40038Why me? 40038 Why not?"
40038Why should he?
40038Why?
40038Why?
40038Why?
40038Why?
40038Wo n''t yuh cut us loose?
40038Would I know yuh then?
40038Wrong?
40038Y- you-- you_ want_ me tuh stay?
40038Yer stayin''in Red Oak all night, eh?
40038Yes, Gimlet?
40038Yes?
40038You all right?
40038You ask what I''m going to do? 40038 You call that swill dinner?
40038You do n''t know anyone by that name?
40038You have?
40038You know why?
40038You loaded them, eh?
40038You mean Uncle Bryant?
40038You mean he''s a murderer?
40038You mean leave the Basin?
40038You plan to stay here until the law men come, is that it?
40038You said this was his bunk?
40038You sure of that?
40038You through talkin''now?
40038You wanted it prepared?
40038You wo n''t explain a thing?
40038You, Silver--the man said,"--we''re going to be friends, are n''t we, old boy?"
40038You,he said, kneeing his horse aside,"want tuh know whar Yuma is at, eh?"
40038Yuh all right?
40038Yuh figger I got somethin''more tuh say?
40038Yuh mean tuh say yuh do n''t want the reward money?
40038Yuh seen the God- defyin''sort o''men that''s come tuh work here?
40038Yuh sure everything''s all right with yuh? 40038 Yuh sure it was n''t that cowhand called Yuma that put yuh up tuh findin''out what my intentions was regardin''Mort?"
40038Yuh sure yuh wo n''t eat?
40038Yuh wo n''t leave, eh?
40038Yuh wonder how I know about him, eh?
40038Yuh- yuh mean that I ai n''t fired then?
40038Yuh-- yuh mean,said the cowboy, still unable to fully comprehend,"I''m tuh go an''report that he shot at me, an''ask that he be judged fer it?"
40038Yuma?
40038Yuma?
40038_ Who?_The Lone Ranger spoke slowly.
40038After a pause, he said,"Why?"
40038After a thoughtful pause, Yuma said,"That pard of yores?"
40038Ai n''t that so?"
40038Am I right?"
40038Are you going to fib as well?"
40038At a loss, Penny said,"Sit down, wo n''t you, Becky?"
40038At best you have but a few years left, and after that what is there for Penelope?
40038Brushing past Mort she said,"What can I do, Becky?"
40038Bryant Cavendish"h''mphed,"then demanded,"where''s Penny?"
40038Bryant said,"Who?"
40038Bryant''s eyes-- what about them?
40038But did it matter?
40038Chapter XXV WHO IS ANDREW MUNSON?
40038Could Penelope know his plans and suspicions?
40038Did n''t I fetch the buckboard?"
40038Did n''t he tell you?"
40038Did outlaws actually live in Bryant''s Basin?
40038Did she know that he felt a strong suspicion that her uncle was hiring crooks to bring stolen cattle to the Basin?
40038Did she realize that his purpose was to fix the guilt of murder on Basin killers?
40038Did you find or see anything of my guns and cartridge belt?"
40038Did you know that?"
40038Do n''t you have any other?"
40038Do you feel strong enough to leave here?"
40038Go tuh law?"
40038Have you ever heard a man scream with the pain of being branded"--he paused, lowered his voice, and added"--in the eyes?"
40038Have you got a way around that worked out?"
40038He ai n''t blind, is he?
40038He can make a will, ca n''t he?"
40038He spoke softly,"Is there anything you''d care to say to me now?"
40038He turned his head as if to question Penny:"Right or left, which will it be?"
40038His voice was hoarse as he shouted to Penny,"Who is that Indian''s friend?"
40038How could he find those murderers, and having found them, what proof would there be against them?
40038How in the devil would I know?"
40038How long I been sleepin''?"
40038How you feel?"
40038How''d Penny get tuh Red Oak?"
40038I been wonderin''if maybe you ai n''t a Texas Ranger, an''if so, why the mask?"
40038I dunno just how tuh get intuh what I want tuh say, but I... well, after I shot Mort--""_ You?_""Eh?"
40038I dunno just how tuh get intuh what I want tuh say, but I... well, after I shot Mort--""_ You?_""Eh?"
40038I er--""Will you sit down?"
40038I suppose you''ve got some way all worked out to blame the killin''of those Texas Rangers on him?"
40038I was with you in a cave until this morning-- don''t you remember?"
40038I wonder who Yuma is and where I''ll find him?"
40038If I can prove that, will you talk?"
40038If so, how could he have fired with such amazing accuracy?
40038If so, why were they there?
40038If the Redskin tries to deny it, who''ll listen to him against the evidence?"
40038Is anything bein''done?"
40038Is anything wrong?"
40038Jest who the devil are you?"
40038Leaning back, she watched him for a moment, then said,"What''s your name?"
40038M- me stay?
40038Now could he?"
40038Now do n''t you feel like a jackass?"
40038Now, for the last time, will yuh leave me be?"
40038Now, if I was tuh tell yuh where you could locate this Yuma yer huntin'', would yuh let me go free?"
40038On the other hand, because men preyed on one another, should he turn his back upon a so- called civilization?
40038Only thing I do n''t savvy is where''s Jeb?"
40038Penny felt the world fall still further apart when the man she had begun to trust said,"What if I join up with you?"
40038She defended you when Yuma turned against you; and what was her reward for that loyalty?
40038She said,"Does your friend live in the Basin?"
40038Softly she said,"Gimlet, have you any idea why Rebecca was shot?"
40038Suppose that was the case, what''d you do?"
40038Tell me, who has a hold over you, who''s making you do these things?"
40038Texas Rangers, ai n''t they?
40038That man on the white horse was leaning over someone when he was seen, was n''t he?"
40038The Indian- what did he call himself?
40038The Lone Ranger looked at him and said deliberately,"Why not?"
40038The Lone Ranger spoke quickly,"Are you the one who brought Tonto that food?"
40038The redskin heard me; why did n''t Penelope?"
40038Then,"It means a lot to you to find out who killed those Texas Rangers, does n''t it?"
40038To Penny he said,"Uncle Bryant is at the table; are you coming?"
40038Tonto fix wound?"
40038True, the masked man had fired at Rangoon while Rangoon fired at him, but was n''t this perhaps an act for her benefit?
40038Upstairs?
40038Was it true that they were failing?
40038Was n''t it obvious that they came there to meet?
40038Was this what dying was like?
40038We go there?
40038What about Yuma?"
40038What about''em?"
40038What argument?"
40038What could possibly happen in the Cavendish domain that the stern old man could not handle himself?
40038What d''ya take me for, Bryant, a damned fool?
40038What do you mean?"
40038What do you owe him that you''d deprive Penelope of any future comfort, in his favor?"
40038What had she overheard in the clump of cottonwoods?
40038What in hell did yuh hit me with?"
40038What is it?
40038What law could punish their murderers?
40038What of the men, the Texas Rangers, who Becky had said came to investigate and died for it?
40038What was it that Becky had started to say about her uncle''s eyes?
40038What was it you said about Yuma comin''with the law?"
40038What''s all this mean?"
40038What''s it all about?"
40038What''s the matter with Sawtell or Lonergan?"
40038What_ are_ you going to do about Mort?"
40038When''ll she come to the Basin?"
40038Where is Penelope?"
40038Where is Uncle Bryant?"
40038Where is everyone?"
40038Who Is Andrew Munson?
40038Who are yuh, and what''re yuh doin''here?
40038Who ever heard o''bein''shot at an''then reportin''it tuh law instead o''shootin''back an''settlin''the matter on the spot?"
40038Who in God''s name was he?"
40038Who in God''s name was that masked man with the silver bullets?
40038Who is going to take care of that girl when you''re gone?
40038Who was this stranger whose chin was so well shaped?
40038Who, in the name of Heaven, is this Andrew Munson?
40038Why did n''t I shoot yuh?
40038Why did n''t he come here with some concrete plan instead of bungling in to find himself so helpless, even though he held a gun on the others?
40038Why did you do that?"
40038Why do n''t you take Mort back in that yer own self?"
40038Why had the Rangers been sent for?
40038Why had the Texas Rangers been sent for?
40038Why the hell, when that critter dropped Mort with the shot in the leg, did n''t he finish him with another slug,''stead o''stickin''him like this?"
40038Why was he masked?
40038Why worry about him?"
40038Why''d I let yuh take me?"
40038Why, he wondered, should men want to make a trade that was to any other person''s disadvantage?
40038Why, in the name of Heaven, could n''t this masked man realize what Lonergan was doing?
40038Why?"
40038Will you leave right now?"
40038Would n''t that be a good way?"
40038Would that be his decision?
40038Would you leave her to the mercies of those cousins of hers, or the killers like Sawtell and Lombard?
40038Yet who was there to find and punish those who had already killed five brave men?
40038You''d come here an''eat the sort of truck she cooks?"
40038You''d deal with him personal, eh?"
40038You''ll be comin''back on the buckboard, wo n''t yuh?"
40038Yuh ai n''t met with no trouble?"
40038Yuh figger Bryant''s the leader, do n''t yuh?
40038Yuh savvy that?
40038Yuma is a man who works here?"
40038Yuma slapped it closed and then exclaimed,"What in hell''s been goin''on?"
40038exploded Yuma,"Ca n''t yuh see the spot the poor girl''s in?
27437''Bout Dan''l, mebbe?
27437''Nuf? 27437 ''Set out,''you say?
27437A lemonade-- or something stronger?
27437A pleasure trip to end of track?
27437A town?
27437A trick, you think?
27437A what? 27437 All at gamblin'', mebbe?"
27437Am I on?

27437And I have rescued you?

27437And if I''m disabled----?

27437And that fellow Jim?
27437And the lady''s? 27437 And the others?
27437And then what?
27437And what did you expect here, in my train?
27437And when you give him his dose, what''ll you do?
27437And where is Levi''s?
27437And where will I find a haberdashery?
27437And who was in the bath, ten or fifteen minutes ago?
27437And why not, sir, may I ask?
27437And will you advance me twenty dollars, say, until I shall have procured funds from the East?
27437And you, sir? 27437 Anything special wanted, stranger?"
27437Are we very guilty, do you think?
27437Are you a surveyor? 27437 Are you acquainted with three- card monte?"
27437Are you all in? 27437 Are you in such short circumstances that you have no spunk?
27437Are you watching, ladies and gentlemen?
27437Are you''feared of Montoyo? 27437 Are you?"
27437Ashamed or afraid of what?
27437At his feet, for his heart?
27437Benton, Wyoming Territory; of three thousand people in two weeks; in another month, who knows how many? 27437 Benton?
27437Blanket to moccasins? 27437 Breakfasted, stranger?"
27437Bucked the tiger a leetle, I reckon?
27437Business?
27437But I shall see you again-- and where? 27437 But after that----?"
27437But her whereabouts in the train is not a matter of shooting, is it?
27437But if he kills me----?
27437But if we went back into it-- if we escaped?
27437But the bent card?
27437But this is a respectable hotel, is n''t it?
27437But what is all this about?
27437But you''re not hurt?

27437Do you see any green in my eye, friend?
27437Driving at? 27437 Even to stowing me with a bull train?"
27437Ever see me shoot?

27437I guess you''re a pilgrim, ai n''t you? 27437 I had to play fair with him, or---- And when I had done that, hoping, why, what else could I do or where could I go?
27437I may call upon you in Benton? 27437 I wo n''t?
27437I''laow yu aim to go through with this train to Salt Lake, do yu?
27437I''ll have to take my chances on that, too, wo n''t I?
27437I-- you would have helped me once, you say? 27437 I?
27437I? 27437 I?"
27437I?
27437If they knew we had only the two cartridges----?
27437If you think he''ll annoy you----?
27437In a city of three thousand people? 27437 In advance?"
27437In among them Mormons? 27437 In what, dearest?"
27437Indeed? 27437 Indeed?
27437Is Mr. Beeson hurt? 27437 Is Mr. Jenks there?"
27437Is this the best hotel?
27437It''s the way white gospelers look at Injuns, ai n''t it? 27437 Jenks, old hoss, cain''t you l''an that durned can manners?"
27437Just do that trick again, will you, for the benefit of my friend here?
27437Just in time?
27437Kin yu shoot?
27437Like this?
27437Long enough to be plucked, eh?
27437Look here,I said desperately, still a- tremble:"Why do you men put that up to me?
27437Married? 27437 May I get you some refreshment?"
27437Me? 27437 Means to marry him, does she?"
27437Misjudged you? 27437 Montoyo?
27437Montoyo? 27437 My address?"
27437My bag will be safe here?
27437My eye- teeth?
27437My husband? 27437 My patronage, for you?"
27437No green in the eye, eh?
27437No? 27437 No?
27437Not by Rachael?
27437Not going? 27437 Now if you will direct me to the telegraph office----?"
27437Now, is there something else, sir?
27437Of yourself?
27437On what? 27437 Or are you a Quaker, to whom life is deadly serious?"
27437Or in the moon, maybe?
27437Or the Astor? 27437 Private?
27437Quién sabe? 27437 Respectable?
27437Ride and fight? 27437 Right or wrong, he''ll be after you, wo n''t he?"
27437Say, Mister, will yu fight?
27437Say, friend, could you lend me twenty dollars? 27437 See?
27437Sell it?
27437Shall I pass on?
27437Shall we go? 27437 Shall we have another?
27437Shall we make a break for it?
27437Shall we risk a play or two?
27437Shall we stroll?
27437She did? 27437 She did?"
27437She is married, then?
27437She shall stay, Hyrum? 27437 Should we?"
27437Sir,I said gratefully,"may I think it over to- night, and let you know in the morning?
27437Sleep well, madam?
27437So soon? 27437 So you are going home, are you?"
27437That is the card, is it? 27437 That whelp?
27437That?
27437The Big Tent? 27437 The Big Tent?"
27437The Captain Adams men may be trailing us?
27437The bath is occupied?
27437The bath- room? 27437 The capper?
27437The goose?
27437The prime old bourbon served at the fust- class New York bars still maintains its reputation, I dare hope, suh?
27437The stage?
27437The young one, you mean?
27437There are no private rooms, then?
27437There is blood on your hands? 27437 They took it from you?"
27437They would take me anyway-- don''t you see? 27437 They''re going to make nooning, are n''t they?
27437Think to stake a leetle here? 27437 This is the Adams train?"
27437This settles it?
27437Throwed it in your face, did he? 27437 To Hyrum Adams''outfit?
27437To Montoyo, you say? 27437 To them?"
27437To- morrow?
27437Told you I''d find him, did n''t I?
27437Under arrest? 27437 Wall, how you feelin''now?"
27437Want to ride, do ye?
27437We''re nearing Sidney, you say? 27437 We?"
27437Well, Mr. Beeson, you have business with the train?
27437Well, sir?
27437Well, suh,spoke the Colonel, pulling his hat over his eyes,"shall we stroll a piece?"
27437Well, what at?
27437Well?
27437Whash that? 27437 What at?
27437What do you expect to do with me, please?
27437What is it?
27437What is there, if you please?
27437What is your business, then?
27437What is your special line o''business, if you do n''t mind my axin''?
27437What of that?
27437What pot?
27437What shall we do?
27437What time do we reach North Platte?
27437What will they do next?
27437What woman?
27437What you thinkin''to do: hit that can or plant a lead mine?
27437What''s the card, Bob? 27437 What''s the matter hyar?"
27437What''s the matter?
27437What''s this?
27437What''s your name, you say?
27437What? 27437 What?"
27437What?
27437Where are you stopping?
27437Where were you goin''?
27437Where''s Pedro? 27437 Where''s the chief of police?"
27437Where? 27437 Where?"
27437Where?
27437Which?
27437Who are you, woman?
27437Who are you? 27437 Who quarrels at my fire?
27437Who?
27437Why come you here, then?
27437Why did you come out clear to end o''track?
27437Why do n''t you learn to shoot? 27437 Why do we wait?
27437Why not? 27437 Why not?
27437Why not?
27437Why should I be?
27437Why should I?
27437Why so? 27437 Why so?"
27437Why so?
27437Why will I?
27437Why''roaring''?
27437Why?
27437Will this do? 27437 Will you come with me, please?"
27437Will you go back to Benton if we take you?
27437Will you let me lend you some money?
27437Will you offer me a ride, sir?
27437Will you play for a dollar?
27437Will you turn your back, or----? 27437 Will you,"she asked hastily,"join me in a little appetizer, as they say?
27437With Mrs. Montoyo? 27437 With her?"
27437With the clothes on your back, or will you stop at Benton for your trunk?
27437With this hyar train?
27437With your tail between your legs?
27437Wo n''t they try again, you think?
27437Wo n''t you be careful? 27437 Would you have me jump from a train in skirts, sir?
27437Yes, this is Benton, is it?
27437Yes, why should you be? 27437 Yes?"
27437You a stranger, too?
27437You are acquainted there?
27437You are from Albany?
27437You are from the East, stranger?
27437You are game, sir? 27437 You are here, then?"
27437You are not afraid of me?
27437You are not heeled, suh, I see?
27437You are not on survey service? 27437 You are teaming west, you mean?"
27437You are the two from the Mormon wagon train?
27437You do live there?
27437You do n''t mean----?
27437You do not hold your experience in Benton against me?
27437You for North Platte?
27437You go to them? 27437 You have kept away from me purposely?"
27437You have left your friends?
27437You have my note?
27437You have my trunk, you say? 27437 You have seen her?"
27437You have stood the journey well, this far, madam?
27437You have surely been reading of the railroad? 27437 You killed him, woman?"
27437You know him?
27437You mean it? 27437 You mean the lady with the blue eyes, in black?"
27437You mean to face him?
27437You spoke, madam? 27437 You swaller that?"
27437You threaten_ me_?
27437You were about to leave them?
27437You will be careful?
27437You will take her on with you to Salt Lake?
27437You will tell me, though?
27437You wish to show your shape, woman, to tempt men''s eyes with the flesh?
27437You would have helped me, at the last?
27437You would take her in, Rachael?
27437You would? 27437 You''d rather I''d stay?
27437You''ll be back, or are you leaving?
27437You''ll both go back to Benton?
27437You''re all on this gentleman''s card, remember?
27437You''re booked for Benton, too?
27437You''re not responsible for me, you would say?
27437You''re the gentleman from New York who came in yesterday and met with misfortune?
27437You''ve been there?
27437You, sir; where''s your money, half of which was mine?
27437You, sir? 27437 You?
27437You? 27437 You?"
27437You?
27437Your name is Daniel, is n''t it?
27437Yours, sir?
27437Yu aim to stay long in Zion?
27437Yu know me?
27437A hotel?
27437A missed cartridge?
27437Ai n''t I a friend o''hern?
27437Ai n''t afeared o''Injuns, be yu?"
27437Ai n''t afeared of peterin''aout on the way, be yu?
27437Ai n''t that so, Bill?"
27437Ai n''t that so?"
27437All ready?"
27437Am I correct?"
27437An empty chamber?
27437And Daniel, his son-- is he married?"
27437And after that-- you have sporting blood, suh?
27437And as long as you are contented yonder----""I contented?"
27437And at me:"What yu goin''to do?
27437And by railway, for the East?
27437And for whom?"
27437And how had it come about?
27437And then where?"
27437And where?"
27437And you are from Benton?"
27437And you do n''t yet savvy that your''lady''''s Montoyo''s wife-- his woman, anyhow?"
27437And you put up no stakes?"
27437And you were going?
27437And you yourself, a woman, are satisfied to have her forced into Mormonism?"
27437And you''ve not had supper yet?
27437And you, ma''am?"
27437And you?"
27437And--"Oh, why did you do it?
27437And--"You''ve been having a quiet little smile with her, eh?"
27437Anybody want to shoot ag''in me?"
27437Anything wanted?"
27437Are eye- teeth necessary in Benton?"
27437Are they going to throw all business to the winds?"
27437Are you a murderess as well as a harlot?"
27437Are you afraid, sir?"
27437Are you disposed to win a little and flout the danger of losing?"
27437Are you going into business, too?
27437Are you hurt?
27437Are you hurt?"
27437Are you on?"
27437Are you particularly partial to the tiger or the cases, suh?"
27437Are your eye- teeth peeled, young man?"
27437Are your eyes quick?"
27437As one of-- us?"
27437At the door?"
27437Badly?
27437Be yu goin''to take her on, paw?
27437Beeson?"
27437Beginnin''to understand, ai n''t you?"
27437Benton?
27437Besides, my young Mormon cub, when did you enter this game?
27437Blood on my hands?
27437Broke loose, have you?"
27437But as they lie, will you make a guess?
27437But do you reckon she does?
27437But he-- Daniel?
27437But now, here----""You have your revolver?"
27437But tell me: Do you blame me for running away from Montoyo?"
27437But tell me: Do you think I dragged you into it?
27437But what if she were an actress, an adventuress?
27437But who can explain those sudden antagonisms that spring up on first sight?
27437But you wo n''t wait to look, will you?
27437But you''ll do better to wait for the train at Bridger, Mr.----?
27437By the way, while I think of it,"I carelessly added,"can you direct me how to get to the Big Tent?"
27437Can he shoot still, or is he laid out?"
27437Can you persuade them?
27437Can you reach him?"
27437Connected with the road?"
27437Could I help?"
27437Could I?"
27437Could n''t she understand that I was no longer a fool-- that I had wrenched absolutely loose from her and that she could do nothing with me?
27437Could she by any chance live there-- a woman dressed like she was, as much à la mode as if she walked Broadway in New York?
27437Could such a left- handed wooer prove too much for her?
27437Could this really be I?
27437Could you recommend local accommodations?"
27437DESERT DUST By EDWIN L. SABIN Author of"How Are You Feeling Now?"
27437Did n''t I?"
27437Did n''t North Platte roar?
27437Did n''t she tell me to keep my eyes skinned for you, and to cotton to you when you come in?
27437Did you ever see the beat of that young feller on the draw?"
27437Did you know that?"
27437Did yu?
27437Do I look like a gambler?"
27437Do n''t I get my revenge?
27437Do n''t I know that, too, by Gawd?
27437Do n''t you understand?
27437Do we look green, suh?
27437Do you believe that now?"
27437Do you blame me that I used you?"
27437Do you ever game?
27437Do you hate me for it?"
27437Do you hate me still, I wonder?
27437Do you know where it is?"
27437Do you know,"she queried, with sudden glance,"that Daniel means to marry me?"
27437Do you mind?"
27437Do you see any squaws?"
27437Do you?"
27437Do yu reckon to pull aout to- day?"
27437Dodge her?
27437Doubtless in the City-- at Johnny Chamberlain''s?
27437Fight?"
27437First, will you have a drink?
27437Five dollars from you, sir?"
27437For the night, at least?
27437For the sport of it, now, what do you think of putting up, to make it interesting?
27437For what?"
27437Frank Beeson, not a fortnight ago still living at jog- trot in dear Albany, New York State?
27437Gener''ly speaking, gentlemen prefer to retain a layer of artificial covering-- but you ai n''t troubled much with the bugs, are you, Bill?"
27437Going out on spec'', or pleasure, or health?"
27437Had she abandoned me, after all?
27437He probably has been telling you some tall yarns?"
27437Hear him?"
27437Her honor?
27437Him?
27437His daughter?"
27437How about you, sir?"
27437How are tricks by this time?"
27437How are you on the goose, sir?"
27437How can I?
27437How could I go home after that?
27437How could I respond otherwise to that pair of dancing blue eyes, to that pair of derisive lips?
27437How could you wait?
27437How many left?
27437How?
27437How?
27437I can give you references----""From Colonel Sunderson, may I ask?"
27437I disposed of?
27437I do n''t believe I have your name?"
27437I do n''t see any other way-- unless you really wish me to go?"
27437I meant, you have funds?
27437I save myself-- merely myself?
27437I was a tool to her hand, once more, was I?
27437I''laow yu expected to make up to that woman, did n''t yu,''fore this?"
27437I''laow yu''re a greenie, ai n''t yu?"
27437I''m takin''keer of her; she''s rode on my wagon; an''naow yu think to toll her off?
27437If I am not intruding, suh, does your engagement comprise the Big Tent?"
27437If you could see her safely landed at a stage station, and for Benton----?"
27437If you will favor me with your address----?"
27437In what way, sir?"
27437Is n''t it respectable?"
27437Is nobody else in?
27437Is that true?"
27437Is this your best?"
27437It will be in defense of my rights, wo n''t it?
27437It''s your fracas, is n''t it?"
27437Killed him?"
27437Madam, are you coming?"
27437May I ask whether you''ve seen her?"
27437Met him, did you?
27437Mike''s Place for you, eh?
27437Mine for the hour, here-- and after?
27437More careful?
27437Mr. Brady, suh,"he continued, for my benefit,"is one of our leading citizens, being proprietor of-- what is it now, Bill?"
27437Mrs. Montoyo, be it-- that lady?"
27437My guides nodded right and left with"Hello, Frank,""How are you, Dan?"
27437No,''tain''t his arm, is it?
27437No?
27437No?
27437No?
27437No?
27437Nobody?
27437Nor to Cheyenne?"
27437Not bad, is it?
27437Not to North Platte?
27437Now here you and I are-- and what are we going to do about it?"
27437Now if you''re a Baptist----?"
27437Now where will I find the place known as the Big Tent?"
27437Now you tell me: Why you goin''to Benton?"
27437Now, how''d you get tangled up with this other outfit?"
27437Now, to prove to these other people what a good guesser you are, which is the queen?"
27437Of what avail was fear?
27437Oh, why could n''t I have killed him?
27437One more?"
27437One of them surveyor fellers, workin''for the railroad?"
27437One of your mammies?
27437Or do I understand that you disown us; turn your backs upon us; deliver us over?"
27437Or do you intend to remedy that deficiency also?"
27437Or possibly, yes?"
27437Or travel far afoot in crinoline?
27437Or would you rather dance?"
27437Or you, sir?"
27437Perhaps I am-- quién sabe?
27437Pulling your freight, are you?"
27437Reckon he''s inclined to be a trifle ugly when he''s on a tear, ai n''t he?
27437Sabe?
27437Savvy?"
27437See that blood?
27437Shall I inquire there?
27437Shall we go another round or two before I close up?"
27437Shall we go to the fire now?
27437Shall we see what he''s got?"
27437Shall we take a turn, foh luck?"
27437Shall we walk a little?
27437Shall we walk?
27437Shamed you?
27437She encouraged you, did n''t she?"
27437She must have read, for she inquired:"Are n''t you thirsty?"
27437She was givin''you pointers, eh?"
27437She''s favoring you-- eh?
27437Should she sacrifice the one honor in this crude essay to maintain the other which she had not lost, to my now opened eyes?
27437Sick, too, eh?
27437So do you, do n''t you, pardner?"
27437Surely you would not try to interfere, sir?"
27437That bottle which I see does n''t happen to be a sample of your favorite preservative?"
27437That drummer''s gone, is n''t he?"
27437That is satisfactory?"
27437That is the custom, is it not?"
27437That snake-- you fear that snake?
27437That snake?
27437The Big Tent, she said?
27437The Pacific Railway between the East and California?"
27437The fog, fleecy, not so wet as impenetrable-- when had it engulfed us?
27437The lead whined and smacked, the shafts streaked and clattered----"Are you sorry I shot the chief?"
27437The three- card monte?"
27437The train?"
27437The when, where and who?
27437Then you, sir?"
27437There is a hotel, I suppose?"
27437There was a brief shower, scurcely enough to sanction a parasol by a lady, last May, warn''t it, Bill?
27437Therefore, preening and adjusting with assumed carelessness I queried, in real concern:"What about the Big Tent?
27437They have been paid for their trouble, have they not?"
27437They''re both O. K.""You are acquainted with the lady, yourself?"
27437This is a lesson in shooting, not in marrying, is n''t it?
27437To what extent?
27437Too tony, eh?
27437Turn her out into the night?
27437Wall, what''s the story?"
27437Wall, you goin''to let him cache her away?"
27437Wall?"
27437Was n''t that right, gentlemen?"
27437Was that all?
27437We are free, you mean?
27437We stop again before reaching Benton?"
27437We''ll see you again?"
27437Weak lungs, ai n''t it?
27437Well; how you comin''on?"
27437Whar''s the hole?
27437Whar''s the water?
27437What are you afraid of?
27437What became of the queen?"
27437What can I do for you, sir?"
27437What can you do, with one arm, and a revolver, and an unlucky woman?
27437What do you aim to do, then?
27437What do you expect to find in Benton?
27437What do you intend to do?
27437What do you propose to do?"
27437What first, then?
27437What had I done?
27437What have you to do with this woman Edna?"
27437What is life but a series of chances?
27437What is life, anyway, but a constant shuffle of the cards?
27437What is your vocation, suh?
27437What might you prefer, in line of a pass- the- time, on spec''?"
27437What of that?"
27437What time do the stores close, can you tell me?"
27437What was hatching out, now?
27437What were you intending to do?
27437What you goin''to do about it?"
27437What you spittin''blood for?"
27437What you want?"
27437What''d I tell yu, paw?
27437What''d he say?"
27437What''d we do with her?
27437What''s she?"
27437What''s the bargain?"
27437What''s to be done next?"
27437What''s your line?"
27437What''s yourn?"
27437What?
27437What?
27437What?"
27437Where are they?"
27437Where are you going, sir?"
27437Where did he find that?"
27437Where is he?
27437Where is it, gentlemen?"
27437Where is it?
27437Where is she?"
27437Where they live in conkibinage-- several women to one man, like a buffler herd or other beasts of the field?
27437Where will I find you?"
27437Where you from?"
27437Where''d she hook you?
27437Where''d you meet up with her?"
27437Where''s Montoyo?"
27437Where''s your ante?
27437Which do you say is the queen?
27437Which was he, sir?"
27437Which?
27437Who are you, to think the name of the Lord''s anointed?
27437Who else will back that gentleman''s luck?
27437Who will spot the ace?
27437Who your dog last year?
27437Who your new friend?
27437Who''ll back his luck?
27437Who''ll be in on this turn?
27437Who''ll join this gentleman in his guess?
27437Who''s Montoyo?"
27437Why did I take you to his table?
27437Why did you come here, sir, if not to win?
27437Why did you?
27437Why do n''t we drink?"
27437Why do you egg me on to interfere?
27437Why not now?"
27437Why not?
27437Why not?"
27437Why should I?"
27437Why yu-- yu-- yu reckon yu kin shame me''fore that hull train?
27437Why, d''you suppose?"
27437Why, in God''s name, should I be sentenced to have blood upon my hands and soul?
27437Why, they''re Mormons and good Mormons, and why should I not be made over?
27437Why?
27437Why?
27437Why?"
27437Wife?"
27437Will you advance me twenty dollars and keep the trunk as security?
27437Will you help me?"
27437Will you keep it and lend me twenty dollars?
27437Will you kiss me?
27437Will you make it five?"
27437Will you permit me to travel with you, sir?"
27437Will you stand aside, please, where the whole town sha n''t see us; or do you wish me to follow you on?
27437Win, or lose?"
27437Wo n''t one of you help me?
27437Wo n''t you?"
27437Would n''t you?
27437Would they let us go?"
27437Would you help me next time?"
27437Would you pursue us even here?"
27437Yes?"
27437You ai n''t been plucked yet?"
27437You ai n''t been there?
27437You ai n''t great shakes with a gun, I reckon?"
27437You are a surveyor, I take it?"
27437You are a woman, are you not?"
27437You are afraid of me?"
27437You are agreed?"
27437You are bound for Salt Lake, are n''t you?"
27437You are going to Benton, of Wyoming Territory?"
27437You are heeled?"
27437You are holding nothing back?"
27437You are set?
27437You are still for Benton?"
27437You ca n''t go to that other camp, can you?"
27437You carry no weapon, neither knife nor gun?"
27437You did n''t come here too light, did you?"
27437You did n''t intend to reply?"
27437You did n''t make sheep''s eyes at ary of the women?"
27437You did n''t think to stay, did you?
27437You disposed of?
27437You do n''t by any chance happen to live there, do you?"
27437You fetched all your outfit?"
27437You have it safe?"
27437You have n''t been long in camp, either, have you?"
27437You have plans of your own?"
27437You have red blood?
27437You know the lady?"
27437You know?
27437You know?"
27437You mean that I-- we-- should run away?
27437You meddle with my come- ons, will you?"
27437You need me?
27437You remember I warned you?

27437You want to speak with me?"
27437You will bull- whack to Salt Lake?
27437You will desire to take a turn or two foh the honor of the Empire State?"
27437You will not decline to taste with a lady?
27437You will wait another turn?
27437You wo n''t take me, any of you?
27437You would n''t be ashamed, or afraid?"
27437You would, would n''t you?
27437You''ll follow the lead of the lady?
27437You''ll follow your luck?"
27437You''ll spare yourself that?"
27437You''ve j''ined some church, I reckon?

34281Abilene? 34281 Abilene?"
34281Ai n''t it wonderful? 34281 All ready?"
34281Am I worrying?
34281And he do n''t even know your name? 34281 And what do you aim to do now?"
34281And what,said Lafe, whose mind was on other things,"what did the girl do then?"
34281And you done let me have the Home Sweet Home waltz, too?
34281And you were Hughie''s friend?
34281Anything wrong, boy?
34281Are n''t there any whites on the place?
34281Are you hurt, Moffatt? 34281 Bob who?
34281Borrow some money?
34281But why,Johnson said, much amazed,"why did n''t you get him then?
34281Calling you?
34281Cattle?
34281Come home to- night? 34281 Did I ever tell you how Bud Walton run it over that big Slim Terry?
34281Did n''t you see that li''l firefly? 34281 Did you ever feel kind of sudden like you''d done something before?"
34281Did you expect me to holler, Johnson?
34281Did you have any other reason, Terry, for shooting this man?
34281Did you notice?
34281Did you think I could n''t tell a two- year- old from a three, Floyd? 34281 Did you think I did n''t know that?
34281Do about it? 34281 Do n''t you know where he is?"
34281Do n''t you see nobody besides us, boy?
34281Do n''t you understand? 34281 Do we?
34281Do what?
34281Do you call them your prayers?
34281Do you mean to say you do n''t want him to come?
34281Do you reckon we''ll be killed, Dad? 34281 Do you want to see what I wrote to him?"
34281Does this here party belong to you, ma''am? 34281 Doggone your fat head, why ca n''t you lift your feet?
34281Everybody is sure to know the row is over me?
34281Excuse me, ma''am, will you, please?
34281Feel any better, now?
34281Figure it?
34281Go along with you? 34281 Going to be with us, Ben?"
34281Got any bread?
34281Got the ring?
34281Harvard''87?
34281Has she done begun to cut your hair yet, Lafe?
34281Hello,he cried,"back already?"
34281Hetty,she panted,"where is she?"
34281Him? 34281 His time?
34281Ho, have n''t you?
34281Hobby? 34281 How about that one, Lafe?"
34281How did you get here? 34281 How did you get here?"
34281How did you know where it came from?
34281How did you know where to hunt? 34281 How did you know?
34281How do you know it was done, then?
34281How goes it?
34281How goes it?
34281How should I know?
34281How''ll we know they fit her?
34281How''re the boys off for beddin''?
34281How''re you feeling?
34281How''s Bob getting along?
34281How''s the bridge, Floyd?
34281How-- throw in with you?
34281How--?
34281How?
34281Huh- huh?
34281Huh- huh?
34281I can go then, Mr. Horne, sir?
34281I do n''t need to ask if she''s happy?
34281I know it''s silly-- but you''ll be awful careful, wo n''t you, Lafe?
34281I reckon he''d ought to give this here Wilkins a better job and present him with a purse, hey?
34281I reckon this lady knows her way about, ma''am?
34281I reckon you''ll hang me anyhow, if I do n''t?
34281I reckon you''re feeling better? 34281 I said I would, did n''t I?"
34281I say,he broke out abruptly in English,"is n''t your name Toole?"
34281I wonder,said he,"what''s the reason?"
34281If a man ca n''t roast his friends, who can?
34281Is he-- what''s wrong with him, Lafe?
34281Is n''t it funny I should n''t have thought about you and her before? 34281 Is n''t it just like heaven?
34281Is that so? 34281 Is that so?"
34281Is that so?
34281Is that you, Lafe? 34281 It does, does it?"
34281It is n''t, hey? 34281 It must be right hard doing that''rithmetic all day long?"
34281It''s right queer,Shortredge continued,"ai n''t it?"
34281Jiminez?
34281Johnsing, you said?
34281Judy, what''s the matter, dear?
34281Just look at that dark, Sally, will you?
34281Know her? 34281 Lafe Johnson is married now, you say?"
34281Land''s sake, Lafe,cried Dave,"what do you aim to do now?"
34281Look a- here, Mr. Lafe, what''re you driving at?
34281Ma''am?
34281Many''s the time I''ve helped him out,he said, reverting to the subject after dinner,"and what do I get?
34281Martha, how dare you say such a thing? 34281 Matter?
34281My trunk? 34281 No, but honest--""Do you think I could write to him after going away without a word to-- to marry a man I''d never set eyes on?
34281Notice what?
34281Now, I wonder if that lady meant something?
34281Now, that''d be horrible, would n''t it?
34281Off in your tally, pardner?
34281One thousand and seventy- six, and those five little fellows make-- what do they make, now?
34281One throw, or best out of three?
34281Or,Lafe resumed,"what if I put it up this way to some of them terrible fighters?
34281Out you go,he ordered,"do you hear me?
34281Pablo Jiminez?
34281Pluckier? 34281 Quit crowding there, will you?"
34281Ready?
34281Runnin''by? 34281 Say, Lafe, you''ll give me a fair count, wo n''t you, boy?
34281Say, Lafe,began the cook,"this here nester, Ben Walsh, that just come in--""Well?"
34281Say, are you looking for trouble?
34281Say, you speak French, do n''t you?
34281Say,cried the gentleman of the peg- tops,"ai n''t I got anything to say in this?
34281See that high one yonder? 34281 So you think a feller ought to tell only what he figures folks will believe?
34281So you think he''s going to rob you? 34281 So your name ai n''t Wilkins?
34281Somebody''ll find room for me, do n''t you reckon?
34281Split her tongue?
34281Steve Moffatt?
34281Stories? 34281 Suppose they should n''t happen to fit her right snug, ma''am, we''ll leave her at The Tanks?"
34281Supposing he was to get me? 34281 Surely you do n''t want to hear from him, do you?
34281Teach me what?
34281That poor creature-- Sarah-- you remember Jackson?
34281The Moffatts?
34281The best man to open it-- I wonder now what a gunman-- what Mr. Moffatt here-- would say to that?
34281Then why are you worrying so now?
34281There was n''t no call for her to say that?
34281They said you could n''t speak-- what does this mean, anyway? 34281 Throw dice?"
34281Thunderation, what for?
34281Well, then, what do you find to talk about all the time? 34281 Well, what''re you aiming to do?"
34281Well, what''re you going to do about it?
34281Well,he said finally, with an uncertain laugh,"that''s different again, ai n''t it?
34281Well? 34281 Well?
34281Well?
34281Well?
34281Well?
34281Well?
34281Well?
34281Wha- what-- who''s there?
34281What about this little ol''country now, hey?
34281What could she do? 34281 What did Tilly do?"
34281What did you hit him with that there stool for?
34281What did you let that feller have?
34281What did you say?
34281What difference is there between you and the others? 34281 What do you know about this?"
34281What do you mean by taking him out on the porch as you did last night?
34281What do you think of her, hey? 34281 What do you think of that there girl with the yallow hair?"
34281What do you want me to do? 34281 What do you want your slicker for?
34281What do you want?
34281What do you want?
34281What does she mean by that?
34281What does she want?
34281What does this mean? 34281 What fine fellow of mine?"
34281What for do you let these here fellers get off them bum jokes?
34281What for you do n''t hitch him to the coffee pot?
34281What for?
34281What for?
34281What for?
34281What good are bachelors, anyhow?
34281What is it?
34281What is it?
34281What made you?
34281What makes you go to say them things then?
34281What on earth''s going to happen to you? 34281 What the Sam Hill are you, anyhow?"
34281What the hell do you want?
34281What time is it? 34281 What was the trouble about?"
34281What was the trouble last night?
34281What were you hanging round here for? 34281 What''d I tell you, Buf''lo?
34281What''d you give that feller Steve?
34281What''re you doing?
34281What''re you getting all swelled up about, Lafe?
34281What''re you looking so scared about?
34281What''re you thinking about?
34281What''s got into him?
34281What''s got into you, anyhow? 34281 What''s he doing here?
34281What''s he done now?
34281What''s hurting you?
34281What''s queer?
34281What''s that girl doing here?
34281What''s that? 34281 What''s the matter, Lafe?
34281What''s the matter, Lafe?
34281What''s the meaning of it, Lafe Johnson? 34281 What''s the trouble here?"
34281What''s the use?
34281What''s the use?
34281What''s this I hear? 34281 What''s this I hear?"
34281What''s this all about?
34281What''s this nester got to do with Steve Moffatt or his kin?
34281What''s this, Lafe Johnson?
34281What''s this?
34281What''s wrong with you, anyhow? 34281 What?
34281What? 34281 Whatever are you thinking about, Lafe?"
34281Where did that fool Mexican go to?
34281Where did you drop from? 34281 Where did you find it?"
34281Where does this here party live? 34281 Where has she gone?
34281Where''re we going?
34281Where''re you going?
34281Who asked you to flirt? 34281 Who did it?"
34281Who is this here Steve, Haverty?
34281Who killed him then?
34281Who said you were anything else? 34281 Who told you this?"
34281Who''re you, anyway? 34281 Who''re you?"
34281Who''s that? 34281 Who''s them there ladies?"
34281Who''s there, I say?
34281Who''s there?
34281Who? 34281 Who?
34281Who? 34281 Whose horse was shot first?"
34281Why could n''t he wait? 34281 Why do n''t we drive on?"
34281Why do n''t you leave Lafe alone?
34281Why do n''t you say a word?
34281Why do n''t you throw it all up?
34281Why not get some of the boys to round him up?
34281Why not? 34281 Why not?
34281Why not?
34281Why should n''t I be?
34281Why shouldn''t--? 34281 Why the hell did n''t you stop?
34281Why, Lafe,Hetty remonstrated,"do n''t you see?
34281Why, how do you figure it? 34281 Why, it ca n''t be-- Hetty, she wouldn''t-- say, it must be a joke-- what does it mean?"
34281Why, you baby, do n''t you see? 34281 Why, you mean to say you do n''t know?
34281Why, you''re going to take me along, ai n''t you? 34281 Why?
34281Will Nugget do? 34281 Will you help?"
34281Wo n''t you get down and visit, Jeff?
34281Would he, now? 34281 Yes, but-- well, I might-- you''ll look after her, wo n''t you, Lafe?"
34281Yes? 34281 You ai n''t got anything to eat, have you?"
34281You aim to tell her, Miz MacFarlane?
34281You certainly do n''t lose no time, do you, Lafe Johnson?
34281You coming, too?
34281You do fine to ask, do n''t you, Lafe Johnson? 34281 You do n''t believe that old woman''s tale, do you?"
34281You do n''t see?
34281You do, do you? 34281 You do?
34281You fired three, hey, Jeff?
34281You got a new gun, Lafe?
34281You heard what he said, did n''t you?
34281You mean my job? 34281 You mean you''re through with me, Lafe Johnson?"
34281You reckon you''re a married woman, I take it, ma''am?''
34281You say he''s been married before?
34281You sick?
34281You think so?
34281You travel well heeled?
34281You wo n''t let the ol''man kill me, will you, son?
34281You''d like to know, would n''t you? 34281 You''re awful kind, are n''t you?"
34281_ We_ will? 34281 A man''s pluckier or he do n''t think of these things when he''s younger-- don''t you reckon? 34281 A steak with onions?
34281A stoodent, you said he was?"
34281A widow?"
34281After a moment he inquired, without looking at her:"You done give me two Paul Joneses, did n''t you?"
34281Afterwards, he--""He what?"
34281Ai n''t I got any rights?
34281Ai n''t a man boss of his own wife?
34281Ai n''t a man got any rights in this country?
34281Ai n''t it hell?"
34281Ai n''t that the tally?"
34281Ai n''t you seen him before?"
34281Ai n''t you written to him?"
34281And for heaven''s sake, what is there in it?
34281And he do n''t care how even it is, does he, Moffatt?"
34281And let a sweet girl like her marry a man like you?"
34281And what has ol''Horne got to say to that general, or whatever he is?"
34281And you''re going to tell me all that nonsense?
34281Are they all as beautiful as that?"
34281Are you his wife?"
34281At last he said, essaying a sneer:"I reckon you''ve got the world by the tail with a down- hill pull, ai n''t you?"
34281At last he said:"You''d have me quit?
34281At last:"So that''s what he is?
34281Besides, in your circle or in mine, what earthly honor is accorded the man so palely good that he never takes a jaunt into the pleasant by- ways?
34281Besides, what earthly use was there in defying a whole outfit?
34281Bud was shot in front, was n''t he?
34281Buf''lo?
34281Buf''lo?"
34281Buffalo asked suddenly:"What made you draw off so sudden that way, Lafe?"
34281But why, then, had the two not come to meet him?
34281But you''re too good for me now all of a sudden, ai n''t you?
34281But you- all wo n''t kill me, now?

34281Ca n''t we never have nothing else?"
34281Ca n''t you see?
34281Charlie and James?
34281Coroner.--"Did you shoot Bud Walton?"
34281Coroner.--"Where did Walton''s shot go?"
34281Coroner.--"Where did you get this here book?"
34281Coroner.--"Who sent for you?"
34281Coroner.--"You''ve killed six men, ai n''t you?"
34281Could we?"
34281Cry on your shoulder?
34281Did I sing that before?
34281Did n''t I send you your fare?
34281Did n''t you and Mrs. Brown hide her out?"
34281Did n''t you see her?
34281Did you notice?
34281Did you say he owed you fifty- seven, Lafe?
34281Do n''t you reckon?
34281Do n''t you reckon?"
34281Do n''t you reckon?"
34281Do n''t you reckon?"
34281Do n''t you think he would?"
34281Do you get that?
34281Do you hear that?
34281Do you hear?
34281Do you hear?"
34281Do you know anything about this?"
34281Do you know why he wanted to shoot?
34281Do you mind how we used to wonder what was on top of that ol''mountain, me and you?
34281Do you reckon I''ve got nothing better to talk about?"
34281Do you reckon you can handle him yourself, or will I take him along?"
34281Do you remember that roundup on the Lazy L?
34281Do you remember, Lafe, the grass fights we used to have?
34281Do you see that?"
34281Do you think I''ll help you cheat Mr. Horne by flirting with Lafe?
34281Does she know how to swear?
34281Ever notice?"
34281Finally he asked:"Did you notice it, too?"
34281Gee, ai n''t the heat a fright?
34281Got anything to eat?"
34281Gracious, what''s got into you, Sally?
34281Gracious, what''s happened?
34281Had he not repeated three times for Lafe in the election?
34281Had she no friends while working in the city?
34281Had the two met?
34281Have n''t you ever felt that way, Dan?"
34281Have you boys got anything to eat?
34281He can fix teeth pretty good, ca n''t he?"
34281He had a shrewd notion that Lafe was the lady''s admirer, with an eye to the property; but what booted it?
34281He''s gone to jail, I suppose you know?
34281Hetty was saying to me only the other day-- say, what''re you so red in the face about?"
34281Hetty, where are you?"
34281Hey, Dan?"
34281Hey, Lafe?
34281Hey, ol''feller?
34281Hey?
34281Hey?
34281Hey?
34281Hey?
34281Hey?
34281Hey?"
34281His first care was to talk with the proprietor of the Fashion, who said:"The hammer was on the wrong chamber?
34281Hold still, ca n''t you, till I light this cigarette?
34281How about li''l''Charlie and James, that''s the dead image of you?
34281How about this air?
34281How did it happen?"
34281How did it sound?"
34281How had the hammer happened on that?
34281How is Hetty?"
34281How often has he had the habit?
34281How on earth did I ever forget it?
34281How''re you better than this fellow you ran off-- this Jackson?"
34281Huh?
34281Hurt bad?"
34281I can run my wife alone, ca n''t I?"
34281I do n''t rightly know, but--""And these-- these wives and fam''lies?
34281I hope there ai n''t nothing wrong, Lafe?"
34281I no sooner get him out of the cells for deserting, than off he goes and-- guess what he wants to do now?"
34281I reckon that was just a mistake, do n''t you?
34281I reckon you ai n''t forgot that, have you?"
34281I suppose Hetty''s a baby?
34281I suppose you think you''re doing something mighty fine to ask me, do n''t you?"
34281I wonder what they are?"
34281If she''d only got a different start--""What about it?"
34281If the other feller was a mite quicker, I wonder if he''d-- What do you think?"
34281In a chill dawn the roper called to Johnson:"Want Casey Jones?"
34281Is it a go?"
34281Is n''t it strange, Lafe?
34281It do n''t, hey?
34281It was five years since he had seen her, was n''t it?
34281It would be utterly useless, he told her-- who ever heard of such a proposition made to serious men?
34281It''s Ferrier?"
34281It''s a small world, is n''t it?
34281Johnson?"
34281Johnson?"
34281Lafe asked;"what I done then?
34281Lafe?"
34281Lafe?"
34281Married?
34281Matter?"
34281Me and you never used to run away, did we?
34281Notice?
34281Now, are you satisfied?"
34281Oh, he does?
34281Oh, what shall I do?
34281Oh, you mean-- them?"
34281Presently she asked:"Judy, have you ever heard from Harry?"
34281Promise?
34281Quit being sheriff?"
34281Resign?
34281Said Mr. Johnson, knowing well to the contrary:"Running sheep?"
34281Savez?"
34281Say, Lafe, what''re you going to do with me?"
34281Say, do n''t women do queer things?
34281Say, have you got one?
34281Send him fifty dollars-- had Hetty ever in her life heard anything to equal that?
34281Seventy a month?"
34281She said:"Were n''t you sick last night, Mr. Buf''lo?
34281So keep him in a good humor, Sally, will you?
34281So that''s Steve Moffatt?"
34281Stick around?"
34281Still holding his horse by the cheek of the bridle, he said in amazement:"Ma''am?"
34281That smile she smothers, now--""Have you noticed that, too?
34281That''s a fine asset-- what Bob owes-- ain''t it?"
34281That''s a fine way for a li''l feller to pray, ai n''t it?
34281The coroner.--"Did you expect him last night?"
34281Then he leaned toward him and remarked, smilingly:"Say, you do n''t eat enough to fatten a steer, do you?"
34281Then someone said:"What''s the matter with you, Lafe?"
34281This is the first time me and you have been here together, ai n''t it?
34281This wife?
34281True, she occasionally snatches a half day to herself; but guess what the busybody does then?
34281Two days later:"Now guess what?"
34281Understand?
34281Understand?
34281Vining?"
34281WELL?
34281Walsh?"
34281Want a job?
34281Was he gone crazy?
34281Was n''t it grand of him?"
34281Was n''t it inhuman?
34281Was n''t it noble of him?
34281We''ll--""I wonder,"said Miss Ferrier, without a trace of resentment,"I wonder if there''s more than one man on earth who is n''t a brute?"
34281Were n''t they enough?"
34281Were n''t you, Lafe?"
34281What about me that you left in Abilene, back in Texas?
34281What can I do?
34281What can you expect from a pig but a grunt?"
34281What did you hear?
34281What did you lend it to him for, then?"
34281What do you make''em?"
34281What do you mean by running by that way?"
34281What do you say if we trail him?"
34281What do you talk that way for?
34281What do you think of that-- hey?"
34281What do you think you are, anyway?"
34281What do you think you''re doing, butting into my private affairs this way?
34281What do you think?
34281What do you want that I should do?"
34281What do you want to know?"
34281What does he want?
34281What does she want to go and tell them lies for?
34281What good does it do?"
34281What had he on his mind?
34281What is a year in a lifetime?"
34281What made you think Hetty was up there?"
34281What of it?"
34281What sort of an idiot did Buffalo take him to be, anyhow?
34281What was he doing there?
34281What''d you do this for?"
34281What''d you like?
34281What''d you say, judge?
34281What''d you say?
34281What''re you going to do about it?
34281What''re you going to do about it?"
34281What''re you going to do that for?"
34281What''re you going to do?
34281What''re you hugging him for?"
34281What''s got into you, Hetty?"
34281What''s got into your head now?"
34281What''s it all about?
34281What''s that?"
34281What''s the idea?"
34281What''s the matter, anyhow?
34281What''s the matter?"
34281What?
34281What?"
34281When did you write to Buf''lo?
34281Where are they?"
34281Where could she go?"
34281Where is she?"
34281Where''d we put him?"
34281Where''re you going?"
34281Where''s Lafe?"
34281Where''s my gun?"
34281Where''s the bucket?
34281Who could say at what moment a pair of desperadoes, with prior claims on the Jug, might not ride up the trail?
34281Who done told you that?
34281Who is this lady?"
34281Who''s that, I say?"
34281Who''s that?"
34281Why could n''t his luck have made him lean with the other hand?
34281Why did n''t you speak out?"
34281Why did n''t you tell that at the inquest?"
34281Why did you do it?
34281Why did you do it?"
34281Why do n''t you take a chance?"
34281Why do n''t you write to him?"
34281Why had she run away?
34281Why should n''t I?
34281Why should n''t he?"
34281Why?
34281Why?"
34281Why?"
34281Will nothing sober you?
34281Will you leave me alone to dress?"
34281Will you?"
34281Will you?"
34281Works for the Tumbling K. You''ve heard of him, Lafe?
34281Would he never stand still?
34281Would n''t she knock you cold?"
34281Would n''t that most scare you?
34281You ai n''t?
34281You believe that, do n''t you?
34281You going to the fight?
34281You keep your mouth shut about me-- do you hear?
34281You knew my sister Kitty, back in Texas, did n''t you, Buf''lo?
34281You mad just because Steve done took your girl?"
34281You pay attention to--""Where''ll you take him?"
34281You reckon--""Where''s your outfit, ma''am?"
34281You remember ol''Rooker?
34281You sit there and say you ai n''t my wife?
34281You wrote to Buf''lo?
34281You''d have me back down when they-- all these here people-- done put me in just because they thought I was the best man to clean up this here place?
34281You''re going to give me a chance at him, too, ai n''t you?"
34281You''re sheriff, ai n''t you?"
34281Your name''s Johnson, ai n''t it?
34281_ Dear Friend:_ How are you?
9913''And how long,''said the Caciques,''do you think a guide would live after they discovered that he had lied?'' 9913 ''And if they went to my country,''said the Turk,''who but I could guide them?''
9913''Beast of a bad heart,''he said,''did I not tell you that to- morrow the moon is full and the Five Chiefs hold Council?'' 9913 ''But who should be fooled?''
9913''But why the Painted Scroll?'' 9913 ''Do we sit at a game of knuckle- bone?''
9913''Does Young- Man- Who- Never- Turns- Back take so much from a Crop- Head?'' 9913 ''How, among men?''
9913''I am to be a Shaman, then?'' 9913 ''I did not bring back your bundle,''she said when she saw him;''what is a bundle to a woman when she has found a man?''
9913''In that case,''said the Head Man,''what should a man do?'' 9913 ''Is it agreed, O Chiefs, that you keep my father''s place until there is a Sign?''
9913''M''toulin, there is a knife at your belt; why have you not killed the moose to make meat for us?'' 9913 ''Not that, Old Hilltop,''he laughed;''there are people under the huts, and what good is a Sign without people?''
9913''Shall I walk on the huts for a sign, Little Chief?'' 9913 ''The quiver is empty,''she said;''the food bags, also; will you wait for us to fill one again before you fill the other?''
9913''Then, will your priests show you the Eye of the Sun or shall I show you?'' 9913 ''What can he do but let fly at them with a broad arrow?''
9913''What if it should be the Horned Heads?'' 9913 ''What is that?''
9913''What should two boys know of a call to Council?'' 9913 ''Where is the bundle now?''
9913''Who knows,''said she,''but Those Above sent it to try if you were honest or a braggart?'' 9913 ''Who says you are a witch?''
9913''Why do you come to the god- house with baskets, like laborers of the fields?'' 9913 ''_ M''toulin_,''she said, which is the word in her language for Shaman,''what will you do with me?''
9913And Ongyatasse--?
9913And all this time no one recognized her?
9913And all this time you were planning to kill him?
9913And did they-- the Five Chiefs, I mean-- have respect for his arrows?
9913And how could Soto go back defeated? 9913 And the pearls, the young chief''s necklace, what became of that?"
9913And they were scared?
9913And what became of the old moose?
9913And what did they do when they got to the sea finally?
9913And what happened to him?
9913And which was it?
9913And who are you-- Cheyennes or Arapahoes?
9913Are you the Dinà ©?
9913But I do n''t understand,said Dorcas;"were Ongyatasse and White Quiver friends or enemies?"
9913But I do n''t understand,she said at last;"just what was it that happened?"
9913But could n''t you have just taken some from the field?
9913But how could you, without any party?
9913But still I do n''t understand?
9913But they never,cried Oliver,--"they never let him be taken?"
9913But was n''t it awfully risky to keep making him mad like that?
9913But what did you do?
9913But what did you do?
9913But what is that?
9913But what?
9913But where are we?
9913But where do they go?
9913But where was all the game?
9913Could n''t his wife do anything?
9913Could n''t you just have told him?
9913Did the Indians really know where the gold was?
9913Did you call it that too? 9913 Did you come over that, Little Brother?"
9913Did you get the elk?
9913Do n''t you know any not- sad stories?
9913Does that mean she was n''t a puma any more?
9913Had it anything to do with the Mound- Builders?
9913Had the Cheyennes iron shirts?
9913His father was dead, was n''t he?
9913I wonder,he said,"if there are trails on the water and through the air?"
9913If the Pelicans would dance for you--"Have the Pelicans a_ dance_?
9913Is it anything like far- looking?
9913Is that the end?
9913Is your name Red Morning?
9913Like this?
9913My children, how is it with you these days?
9913Of which of these who passed will you hear?
9913Oh, please, would you tell us about it?
9913Oh,said Dorcas, without waiting to be introduced,"what makes you do that?"
9913Oh,said Dorcas,"and did the Chief Woman see them coming?
9913She lay in my arms like a hurt fawn, but what could I do? 9913 Tricks?"
9913Was it so far from where you lived to Mex-- to the Country of Stone Houses?
9913Was she?
9913Was that a secret too?
9913Were n''t they pleased with what you had done?
9913Were they Mound- Builders, too?
9913Were they Mound- Builders?
9913Were you? 9913 What I should like to know,"said Oliver,"is why you are called Dog Dancer?"
9913What could she? 9913 What did go on?"
9913What is''dead''?
9913What sort of games?
9913What sort of things?
9913What was it you wished to know about it?
9913Where were they when the Corn Woman passed? 9913 Who remembers?
9913Who were the Koshare? 9913 Why not?"
9913Why should a coyote, who is the least of all wolves, hunt for himself when he can find a man to follow?
9913Why, of course,said the Man- of- War Bird;"how else would we find our islet among so many?
9913Would n''t it have grown just the same?
9913''After you have taken the best of the tribe, will you stop at a youngling?''
9913''But will not the Ko- share know if an extra man goes in with them?''
9913''Have you not done me mischief enough already?''
9913''Hey, Kokomo, have you been inviting Kabeyde to join the Koshare?
9913''Nothing, O Offspring of the Sun?''
9913''Nothing, Toto?''
9913''Tell me,''she said,''what evil dream unknots the cords of your heart?''
9913''Then why do they rebuild their stockades and fetch arrow- stone from far quarries?
9913''We have fought the Tenasas,''he said;''shall we fight our women also?''
9913''Who would stop a pipe- carrier of the Tallegewi?"
9913''You,''he said,''you are Given- to- the- Sun?''
9913And before that?
9913And who was he to make it talk when it would not?
9913And why do they call a Council in the Moon of the Harvest?''
9913And why should MacShea have said that if he had n''t known for certain that the animals_ did_ come alive at night?
9913And you?"
9913But Taku- Wakin walked by himself...""And did you stay there with him?"
9913But how can it talk, Arrumpa, when you have nothing to tell it?''
9913But what could the chiefs do except hunt farther and fight harder?
9913But why should he carry a stopped bottle and no water in it?
9913But, the Eye of the Sun, I thought you saw her put that in the buckskin bag again?"
9913Did you have those?"
9913Do you understand this, my son?"
9913For he saw that if the Stick would not leave him, neither could he forsake-- Is this also known to you?"
9913Have we not followed him for three days and trapped him?''
9913How should I know what she meant?
9913How should I know?
9913How should we carry them from place to place on our backs?
9913How was I to guess what he wanted with them?
9913Into another-- or into a beast?
9913Is it not so?"
9913Is there left to you any of the remembrance of these things?"
9913It is true that I knew by this time that the Cacica had sent to Tuscaloosa, but what was that to me?
9913Mound- Builders, you know?"
9913Nothing?''
9913Or somebody would pinch my tail and Tse- tse would hit right and left with his pillows--""Pillows?"
9913Our friends go out of their bodies; where?
9913Priestess of the Corn,''she called toward the temple,''do you also mislead the people?''
9913She would rise and pull the bundle down through the sky- hole-- all pueblo houses are entered from the top, did you not know?"
9913Taku stretched his hand to Opata,''Is it agreed, O Chief?''
9913That''s the Scioto Trail, is n''t it?"
9913Then there would be the drums and the-- the thunder- twirler--""But what kept him so long and how did he persuade them?"
9913Was that-- anything particular?"
9913We learned to eat grass that summer and squushy reeds with no strength in them-- did I say that all the Grass- Eaters were pot- bellied?
9913What are you doing here?"
9913What else was there to do?
9913What else was there to do?
9913What is a year of your life to the Holder of the Heavens?
9913What is gold that he should have left all these for the mere rumor of it?"
9913What?_""What''s this,"said the Bull Buffalo,"Pale Faces?"
9913What?_""What''s this,"said the Bull Buffalo,"Pale Faces?"
9913Where can a white man look that an Indian can not hide from him?
9913Where would be the fun of such an adventure if you had it alone?
9913Who knew what vengeance they might take for the killing of the Padres?
9913Who shall say that she did not go of her own accord?''
9913Why should you chase us?''
9913Will you let this false Shaman impose on you, O Children of the Sun, with a common pebble?''
9913Will you swear that the message that went with it had nothing to do with the Lenni- Lenape?''
9913he said;''will you make a Dinà © of_ me_?''
9913insisted Dorcas;"what was it that she had told them?"
9913said Opata at last,''or is this a Council of the Elders?''
9913said his mother;''what have you to offer her?''
9913will you have all the gods against you?
9905''Ai n''t we never goin''to git shut of''em?'' 9905 ''An''wot might be your weight?''
9905''Buck or no buck,''flares out Strokher,''wot might be the meanin''o''that remark consernin''being a Englisher?'' 9905 ''I ca n''t let her see me so bunged up,''says Hardenberg, doleful- like,''Oh, whatever is to be done?''
9905''Is it a go?'' 9905 ''What for a passenger might it be?''
9905Ai n''t I a dam''fool? 9905 All understood, then?"
9905Am I a_ peon_?
9905An accident?
9905An''w''at might be the bloomin''notion o''setting the bloomin''kite and jib?
9905An''what might you want with her, my friend?
9905An''where would Banks land the scheme? 9905 And then?"
9905Are you willing?
9905Broke?
9905But what brought you here?
9905But, Felipe, lad, where away now?
9905D''ye see it?
9905Did you ask them about it all?
9905Do you think you can manage alone? 9905 Expect some weather?"
9905Felipe, you love her yet?
9905Felipe,she cried,"Felipe, where are you going?"
9905Four o''clock.--Is it possible that we are to pass another night of suspense? 9905 Got any wrecks?"
9905Have you figured at all on the proposition, Cap''n?
9905How about insurance, and warehouse charges, and carrying expenses on that lot? 9905 How about the loot?"
9905How did I come aboard?
9905How so?
9905How''d we raise her? 9905 I sye,"he cried, all at once scrambling up and clawing at our arms,"D''d the bally ha''nt show up agyne?"
9905Is he badly hurt? 9905 Is it about a treasure?"
9905My God, dead?
9905Now what?
9905Say, huh? 9905 Say,"called one of the freight- handlers,"is this the_ Bertha Millner?
9905See her?
9905She who has cast you off; she who disdains you, who will not suffer you on her lands? 9905 Shot him, do you understand?
9905That was Kennedy, was n''t it, who made that offer?
9905Um-- there''s nobody round outside there? 9905 Was there another man?"
9905Well?
9905Well?
9905What do_ we_ risk?
9905What have we been doing?
9905What is it? 9905 What''s 301?
9905What''s up?
9905What? 9905 Where''s Nickerson?"
9905Where?
9905Who''s your bloomin''agent?
9905Why, do n''t you remember?
9905Ye ai n''t never crossed the trail o''that mournful history?
9905Yes; who do you suppose he''s selling for; who''s willing to go short at this stage of the game?
9905You aisk me- a,she said,"eef I do onderstaind, eh?
9905_ Stole_ them? 9905 ''An''ai n''t we goin''to meet no more?'' 9905 --Hardenberg''s eye had traveled to the upper edge of the map--whatever did you strike up here in Alaska?
9905125?"
990520 A.--what''s that?"
990588?
9905Ah, it is played out, is it, Felipe Arillaga?
9905Ai n''t I a proper lot?
9905Ai n''t ye just ashamed o''yourselves?''
9905All clear, eh?
9905All for love oaf Felice, eh?
9905All right?
9905An''wat for?
9905And even then no word of the ship, except as it might be this from Hardenberg:"What is it?
9905And have you come to be so low, so base and mean as that?"
9905And instead of this, our stolid, steady, trusty old boat was-- what shall I say?
9905Anything doing?"
9905At the door Lockwood met the doctor:"Well?"
9905Because why?
9905But just the same if I were to home now, a- foolin''about Gloucester way in my little dough- dish-- d''ye know what?
9905But to what purpose?
9905But you-- how about you?
9905But you----What brought you here?"
9905Cart lanterns?
9905Come now, what do you say?"
9905Could he do it?
9905Could he reach Santa Teresa before midnight?
9905D''ye see it?
9905Dixon?"
9905Do n''t you see my heart is breaking?
9905Do you fancy you can reach it before midnight?"
9905Do you think I could live knowing that?"
9905Does Cock- eye take his little parlour ornament away from him, and spank him, and tell him to go home?
9905Great heavens, man; where''d he get the stuff?"
9905He had covered the whole distance from the mine, and where was Chino?
9905How about if I take a day off and drop round to his cabin and interview him on the fleetin''and unstable nature of human life?''
9905How many others had gone down in the great ebb?
9905How''d we know how deep she lies?
9905How, then, be understandable to others?
9905I am absent from my home a year, and when I return what do I find?
9905I could see the green shine of our riding lantern in his wide- open eyes, and from time to time I could hear him muttering to himself,"What is it?
9905I demanded, and again and again"where?"
9905I guess you can, hey?
9905I looked him straight between the eyes as I asked:"Were you asleep?
9905I professed my ignorance and said:"They fought?"
9905I s''y, how abaout him, anyw''y?"
9905I s''ys,''Wot all naow, messmite?
9905If I could only, only set it down!--for whose eyes?
9905If he takes my orders an''walks chalk, what do I care about his Methody game?
9905Is Buelna well?"
9905Is it not enough already?"
9905Is n''t that Peterson?"
9905Is that why you saw her so suddenly?"
9905It was you who drove me to this quarrel, and when I have vindicated you what do you do?
9905Know the road?
9905Must an old man teach a youngster gallantry?"
9905Nothin'', hey?
9905Now we be happi, maybe; now we git married soam day byne- by, eh?
9905Now what does that Cockeye do?
9905Of course, we all said"current"; but why did n''t the log- line trail?
9905One day he pointed to the rigging with an unsteady forefinger, then, laying the same finger doubtfully upon his lips, said to Strokher:"A ship?"
9905President?"
9905Prosecute him?
9905Remember how we found''em all in the cellar and hyked''em out while the beggars slept?"
9905S''y, what- all''s the first jump in the bally game now?"
9905Sure; why not?
9905That brick ought to go in to- night just the same, hey?"
9905The President, unable to remember, turned to his one clerk:"Hyers, what''s 301?
9905Then he was surprised to hear Felice''s voice asking,"''Ave you a letter for me, then, Meester Lockwude?"
9905Then in English, and with a swift leap of surprise and dismay:"Ah, Meester Lockwude, air you hurt?
9905Then:"Is this a jest, señor?"
9905This here, off the Mexican coast?"
9905Those of a wandering hawk?
9905We joined Strokher, and as I came up the others were asking:"Where?
9905Well, that''s_ his_ business, ai n''t it?
9905What a whirl is this?
9905What fool''s play is all this?
9905What had happened?
9905What happened?
9905What is it?
9905What the devil is it, anyhow?"
9905What was the joke of it?"
9905What was the meaning of this unexpected selling?
9905What''s the matter with landing arms down here in Central America for Bocas and his gang?"
9905What-- what was this?
9905What?
9905Whatever in the world is this extremely cu- roos coin?''
9905When the stranger an''pilgrim comes in, says he first off:''Why''n snakes they got that weathercock horse upside down-- why?''
9905Where?"
9905Who was back of the raid?
9905Why had it not been possible that her romance should run its appointed course to a happy end?
9905Why not''says he,''make right up to Mister Palachi hisself?''
9905Why''of course''?
9905Why, how much do you suppose just the stores would cost me?
9905Will he recover?"
9905Would PÃ © pe last under him?
9905Would he last?
9905Would it not have been better to have put a prohibitive figure on the grain and forced the Bear into bankruptcy?
9905Would the minutes that raced at his side win in that hard race?
9905Would the morning never come?
9905Yes?
9905You seek an enemy, then, señor?"
9905You ver''sharp man, eh?
9905You--"her voice was a whisper--"you shoot Chino, eh?
9905asked Kimbark, as Going noted down the trade--"Kennedy, that new man?"
9905eyen''t it a rum gao for fair?
710All well? 710 Am I a man that I should be made a mock by every child that cries for meat?"
710An''how was I to be doin''it on sixteen hundred?
710An''in tin minutes''time what''ll matter a frozen ear or so to poor Michael Dennin?
710And may any man?
710And the rest of the time?
710And the work?
710And then?
710And where be Bidarshik, thy strong son? 710 Art thou willing to do no less than what Old Kinoos hath done?"
710As a matter of ethics is n''t the man who gives a bribe as bad as the man who takes a bribe? 710 Back into that awful Klondike world of suffering?"
710But if you kill the man, why do you not kill the dog?
710But of what worth to you and me? 710 But she_ was_ beautiful, now, was n''t she?"
710But thy sons?
710But what end?
710But what if I should return to you?
710But why did they kill the man?
710But you are not going to take him away with you?
710D''ye think he''d sooner stay in California?
710Did he not go down to the salt lake that is big as the sky?
710Did you know him?
710Do you know how cold it actually is?
710Doctor?
710Does it die?
710Has one in the village yet to fall sick from the eating of it? 710 Have I not said that I ask questions no more?
710Have you thought about him?
710How do you know he''s your dog?
710How do you know it is the last turn?
710How do you know she is crying?
710How do you know the limit is off?
710How does he do it?
710How much do you want?
710How was I to know that what the white man does yesterday he will not do to- day, and that what he does to- day he will not do to- morrow?
710How was I to know the way of the white man is never twice the same?
710If I told you I had made a mistake? 710 Is everybody dead?
710Is not the meat good?
710Is that what you call him-- Wolf?
710May n''t we come over some day while you are at your sister''s? 710 Michael Dennin, have you anything to say?"
710Shall the babes in arms tell us men the things we shall do?
710That picture-- what does it mean? 710 That''s one hundred and six below freezing point-- too cold for travelling, eh?"
710The husband seems then to have had a not very savory reputation in San Francisco?
710Then what are you going to do?
710Thou art done? 710 Thy very strong sons and thine old- age hunger?"
710Was that why you left me?
710Well, what''s wrong with Michael?
710Well?
710Well?
710What are you going to do?
710What are you going to do?
710What are you looking for, Tess?
710What can I say? 710 What debt?"
710What did you say?
710What do you mean?
710What do you think I ought to do? 710 What do you think?"
710What have you to offer him in that northland life?
710What if the young men do return with meat?
710What part of the States do you come from?
710What we want to know is what are you going to do?
710What''s that?
710What?
710When did you write it?
710Where are you going?
710Where be Moklan?
710Where be thy strong son, Moklan, and the fish he was ever willing to bring that you might eat?
710Where is Michael?
710Where''s Wolf?
710Who comes?
710Why are you all alone in the village?
710Why did n''t you introduce us?
710Why does she come into Klondike, all alone, with plenty of money? 710 Why dost thou hunt only bear?"
710Why have you followed me into this frightful country?
710Why, necessarily, should I be the one to get out? 710 Why?"
710Woman sort of a martyr, eh?--crucified on the cross of matrimony?
710Yes, but what of it?
710You do n''t want me, John?
710You see that blasted redwood? 710 You would stay here?"
710Your lungs are all right, are n''t they?
710''Charley,''she says,''how do you like to work for me?
710''I go in your canoe-- how much?''
710''What for you come Klondike much afraid?''
710''What for you laugh, Charley?''
710''What for you play with that?''
710''What thing you look for?''
710''Where do you go?''
710''You look for gold?''
710All done?"
710And did not the Tanana tribe pay my father many blankets and fine furs?
710And if one thousand, why not one hundred?
710And that night the man says to me,''What time start to- morrow, Charley?''
710And then?"
710And when Karduk told him all would he well with him when they had overtaken his tribe, he asked,"And then may I rest and move not?"
710And why is it that you and your old woman are without meat at the end of your years?"
710And why?
710Are you alone left of the living?"
710At last he spoke, saying:"Is there no greeting for Negore, who has been long gone and has but now come back?"
710But did n''t I see with my own eyes the bottom of the water- hole?
710But how did the young man, Negore?"
710But if he likes tobacco, why does he spit out its value and lose it in the snow?
710But what man?
710C.?"
710Continually he asked,"And then may I rest and move not?"
710Did not my father''s brother go over into the Tanana Country and get killed by a bear?
710Do you remember the incident?"
710Does he beat Mobits?
710Does he kill Mobits?
710Does the white man like tobacco?
710Ebbits seemed sinking back into his senility with the tale untold, and I demanded:"What of thy sons, Moklan and Bidarshik?
710Has she worn well?
710Has there been a great sickness?
710Haythorne?"
710He does not eat the bugs and flies, then why does he seek after them?
710He shook his head, and asked,"The little girl-- does it die?"
710His first question had been,"What are you going to do with me?"
710How could he have the laugh on Bill if that were Bill; if those bones, so pinky- white and clean, were Bill?
710How do I know?
710How does he defelop der appetite?
710How dost thou know that witchcraft be concerned?
710How else can it be, save that he hunts with evil spirits?"
710In his slow and pondering way, Skiff Miller looked at him, then asked, with a nod of his head toward Madge:"How d''you know she''s your wife?
710In his weakness, what if the animal attacked him?
710In turn, she put a daily question to him,--"Why did you do it?"
710Is it not so?
710Is there witchcraft in it?"
710It may make our stay in this cabin more-- may I say, sociable?"
710Joy over what?
710Life been all a happy dream ever since?"
710Madge cried, her eyes bright with interest,"about whom we''ve heard so much?"
710May not his father hunt with him so that he may attain excellence and patience and understanding?
710Moklan is my son, wherefore he is brave man--""Was not my father brave man?"
710Now you wo n''t mind if I go away slow?
710On the day preceding that set for the execution, when Edith asked her usual question,"Why did you do it?"
710Or dost thou guess, in the dark, merely because of the envy that consumes thee?"
710Or, better yet, wo n''t you come over and have dinner with us?"
710Pretty healthy specimen, ai n''t I?"
710She look at me very hard, then she says,''When you start?''
710Skiff Miller arose, no longer awkward with admiration of Madge, and in a sharp, businesslike manner asked,"How long have you had him?"
710Such was life, eh?
710Then she laugh and says,''You think we get to Dawson before freeze- up, Charley?''
710Then why was he not content to die?
710Then, turning to her companion,"By the way, Doctor, what is your name, if I may ask?"
710They are crazy?
710To- day he takes Bidarshik and-- what does he do with Bidarshik?
710Up to expectations?
710Very well?"
710Was it reality, after all?
710What I want to know is how do you find her?
710What are they after?
710What can I say?
710What can I say?
710What do you say we call it four thousand?"
710What does he do to Mobits?
710What does the white man do?
710What for they help you and have trouble?"
710What if she broke down?
710What is it that they try to find?
710What ud be aisier, thinks I to myself, than to kill all iv yez, report it at Skaguay for an Indian- killin'', an''thin pull out for Ireland?
710When Edith put his fur cap on his head and proceeded to pull the flaps down over his ears, he laughed and said:"What are you doin''that for?"
710When his mouth is full with the juice, what does he do?
710Where do we go?
710Who knows?"
710Why all men very quiet?--the man with yellow markers?
710Why dealer warm with blood a little bit in the face?
710Why did it not fall down?
710Why did not Hans do something?
710Why do they go on?
710Why does Sitka Charley live?
710Why does Sitka Charley work hard, and go hungry, and have all this pain?
710Why haf he gone out?
710Why he lean forward?
710Why his eyes very much bright?
710Why his face very much quiet?
710Why is he not here?
710Why nobody talk?
710Why not fifty?
710Why not five?
710Why not leave him here?
710Why not-- two?
710Why, then, could not one thousand people constitute such a group?
710Will we go on forever this way without end?
710and wilt thou tell us, O Keesh?"
710do n''t I know?
710say something?
710the man with red markers?
710the man with white markers?
39433A message? 39433 An''Cimarron Bill has gone there?"
39433And are you to stand clear of the law-- you, who have incited ruffians to attack me and my property? 39433 And how about the gentlemen below?"
39433And what business had he here in this room?
39433And you bring good news from that place?
39433And you were the ones who chipped in just at the right time after my little encounter with Red Sam? 39433 And you would let him remain here to die?"
39433And your father-- he is here, also?
39433Another?
39433Are you accumulating his valuables?
39433Are you afeared some other gent will git her away from ye if you brings her out?
39433Are you goin''to help that galoot try to git erway?

39433Are you sure of this, Joe?
39433Are you thirsty?

39433Bill what?

39433But afterward-- afterward?

39433But where have you been?
39433But why have you come here, mother?
39433But would you let him off like that if you knew it was so?
39433But you never care for your own sake at all? 39433 But you weel not let him beat you?"
39433But you will go?
39433By which you mean that one night had passed?
39433Ca n''t you give Boxer a little?
39433Can we get out of the valley all right?

39433Did you ever see anything like that in all your natteral born days? 39433 Did you get the package off all right?"
39433Did you know him at whom the man was about to shoot?
39433Did you look for anything else to happen?
39433Did you see anything of the one- armed man who was with my pursuers?
39433Do business? 39433 Do you call that sourkraut- barrel a gentleman?
39433Do you dare talk to me that way?

39433How do we pass him?
39433How do ye make it out?
39433How do you figger that out? 39433 How do you mean?"

39433However did you all happen to let the Injun slip ye that way?
39433I hope this will be sufficient?
39433I hope,said Bart Hodge quietly,"that you do not fancy for a moment that I''m not going with you?
39433I know, but----"But what?
39433I opine, Bill,he said,"that you do n''t set yourself up as a heap better than the rest of this gang?"
39433I opines you''re not castin''reflections any whatever?
39433If that could happen----"Would you pay the money?
39433If those mines do not belong to him, how is it that he can hold them?
39433If you were to get those papers I suppose you would feel yourselves perfectly well satisfied?
39433In what way is the East behind the West?
39433Is he far from here?
39433Is it not possible she may be saved in some other manner?
39433Is it so bad there''s no show for him?
39433Is n''t there even a window?
39433Is that possible?
39433Is that so?
39433Is that so?
39433Is that your dog?
39433Is there another?
39433Is there more? 39433 Is there no way this can be done before you try to seize the mine?"
39433Is there no way to avoid paying the money?
39433Is this all on the square?
39433Joe, will you go with us? 39433 Left you?"
39433Look here, how do you know?
39433May I accompany you, to make sure you are not molested further?
39433Mebbe you do know her?
39433Mebbe you has urgent business with that gent?
39433Miss Arlington?

39433Say you so?
39433Say, youngster, did you ever hear of Cimarron Bill?
39433See here, Crowfoot,he said,"do you mean to tell me that June Arlington has disappeared and that her mother does not know what has become of her?"

39433The man in there?
39433The one with the small mustache?
39433Then his saddle was here?
39433Then how did Bill or any of his gang manage to creep up here and pin this to my door?
39433Then it must be about June Arlington? 39433 Then it will cost ten thousand dollars?"
39433Then she be steel alife?
39433Then you are the one who has filled her mind with the idea that I know something of the whereabouts of Miss Arlington? 39433 Then you knew I had entered town?"
39433Then you refuses my proposal?

39433Well, could n''t you find any other place? 39433 Well, could n''t you find some other place to talk to him?"
39433Well, he may find us, eh, Boxer?

39433Well, what of it?

39433You have dared to come here?
39433You have had some trouble with him, have you, Tracy?
39433You have not told them?
39433You know the young tenderfoot gent what I have been stacking up against-- the one what I spoke to you about?
39433You mean that you would turn against me?

39433Am I sure right on that?"
39433And have you forgotten that it was his brother, Dick, who kept you from slipping beneath the car- wheels, where you must have been maimed or killed?"
39433And were you in partnership with a man of his character in an attempted murder?"
39433Anson-- he''s gone?"
39433Are those the symptoms, Joseph?"
39433Are you hungry?"
39433Are you with me in this chase?"
39433Arlington?"

39433But where was she?
39433But why should you come because he could not?
39433Can we do it?"
39433Could they be watching closely?
39433Did n''t Pede do that, an''did n''t he beat Pede a- plenty at his own game?
39433Did you understand?"
39433Dit I hear correctness?"
39433Do you take me?"

39433Does you come inter this yere game, young gent, same as ye did oncet before?"
39433Eh?"
39433Ha?"
39433Has the poison firewater of the white man robbed you of your senses?"
39433Have you been there all night?"
39433Have you noticed it?"
39433He turned and found himself face to face with a plain, quiet- looking man, who promptly said:"Are you Frank Merriwell?"
39433How came he here unless by your permission?
39433How can I know you''ll not take the money and do nothing?"
39433How can that be?
39433How did you learn of that?"
39433How does it happen you are not with the gang?"
39433How does it happen?
39433How much money will you require?"
39433How much were you to receive for killing me?"
39433How was he to find and rescue her?
39433How was he to reach them?

39433Instantly he was given a shove, and the man growled:"What in thunder ails ye, you yaller- skinned greaser?
39433Is he dead?"
39433Is it to laugh at her?
39433Is it to see her weep and cry?"
39433Is that all satisfactory like?"
39433Is this the way you defend your property?
39433June Arlington there?
39433June, my child?"
39433Lewis?"
39433Mebbe them your friend?"
39433Merry did n''t mind the lark, but he now turned to the dog, with a very serious expression on his face, saying:"How about it, Boxer?
39433Mother-- this man-- why is he here?"
39433Must I shoot that dog?
39433Not that galoot?
39433Now you want to keel heem?"
39433Oh, you weel come to heem?

39433See how easy it is to be did?"
39433So Bill wants the boy?
39433So this fellow Bill led her to run away with him, did he, the scoundrel?
39433Tell me, what has been done to find and rescue June Arlington?"
39433Then he whispered to Frank:"Ca n''t you pray?
39433Vere vos dot dalking tog alretty?
39433Was I dreaming?"
39433Was he in a hurry?"
39433Was the woman in her right mind?

39433What can I to do?

39433exclaimed a young fellow with a wicked face,"ai n''t she got a slick- lookin''gal with her, what?"
39433he exclaimed, his hat in his hand;"is it possible?"
39433in that dreadful place?

29119''I see you have no lightnin''-rods?'' 29119 ''Is that so?''

29119''What_ is_ the latest kink in rods?'' 29119 ''Why not?''
29119''You remember her?'' 29119 A spirit, eh?
29119A very bitter bereavement?
29119All the evening?
29119And Nance?
29119And as fer the woman, why should her mail come under another name from his? 29119 And is it a real mine?"
29119And she?
29119And so at last you relented and went home? 29119 And the crippled girl?"
29119And then?
29119And they''ll be jailed?
29119And you want me to go away without trying to get him out of this awful trade?
29119And you will wait for me?

29119Citizen of the camp?
29119Could I see him-- I mean the judge?
29119Could you give me an idea of those letters?
29119Dad, what do you mean by talking this way to George Adelbert? 29119 Dear old daddy, how do you feel this morning?"
29119Did he ride away on horseback?
29119Did he say Busby threatened to kill him?
29119Did he?
29119Did n''t look that way this morning, did it? 29119 Did n''t you?
29119Did that faze him? 29119 Did the old man wilt, or climb the line fence and offer to shake hands?
29119Did this come through the mail?
29119Did you actually_ see_ the fight between Busby and Watson?
29119Did you employ a weapon?
29119Did you know him when alive?
29119Did you know that young fellow was an outlaw?
29119Did you meet Watson then?

29119Do you need me?
29119Do you recognize this body?
29119Do you recognize this man?
29119Do you think there are any such men in here now?
29119Do? 29119 Does that mean that you_ want_ me to stay in the service?"
29119Does your father know you are back in the valley?
29119Ever been here before?
29119For love of God, man, phwat have you been doin''wid yersilf?
29119For the fly- leaf?
29119Fred, what''s the matter with you?

29119He was rather small and dark-- wasn''t he, Peggy?
29119Hear''em? 29119 Henry, was your father in that band of sharpshooters this morning?"
29119Here?
29119Hope you are n''t going to pull out, Kelley? 29119 How are you, granny?"
29119How can I ride, all tied up like this?
29119How could Carmody do that?
29119How did they miss you?
29119How did ye come out with the ore?
29119How do I know but that comes from one of my claims?
29119How do we get there?
29119How do you like it?
29119How far down do you figure the mine was?
29119How far is it across the pass?
29119How far is it to the next cabin?
29119How far up does it run? 29119 How is it that you are unhurt?
29119How is the Cuneo girl?
29119How long had you been there when you heard of Watson''s death?
29119How long have you been acquainted with this man Busby?
29119How long will you be gone?
29119How many men are in your party?
29119How''s the old camp looking?
29119How?
29119Hungry? 29119 I FEEL COLD HERE"_ Frontispiece_"YOU''RE PRETTY SWIFT, AREN''T YOU?"
29119I wonder if I could get him for you?
29119I wonder if she remembers her performance?
29119I wonder if she sings?
29119I wonder if that door is locked?
29119I would n''t, hey? 29119 I?"
29119If those raiders were the same people Hanscom arrested in the cabin, would n''t it prove something as to their character?
29119If women had to punish criminals themselves, with their own hand,she asked,"how many of them would do it?"
29119In what way?
29119In what way_ is_ he tangled up?
29119Is Hornaby suspicious of me, too? 29119 Is he injured internally?"
29119Is it far to your hotel?
29119Is it morning?
29119Is it morning?
29119Is it not a matter of common report, Mr. Coroner,demanded the ranger,"that Watson has had many such quarrels?
29119Is it not strange that any reasonable being should accuse my daughter and me of that monstrous deed?
29119Is it true that her letters come addressed in two different names?
29119Is that his horse''s tracks?
29119Is that you, Sherm?
29119Is the mine far from here?
29119Is there anything I can do for you?
29119Is there anything else I can do?
29119Is there not some way for me to help? 29119 Is there time for us to catch that eastbound express?"
29119Is this the trail to Silver Plume?
29119Is this your name?
29119Is this your rifle?
29119It looks that way,responded Wetherell,"but what can we do?
29119It''s like eloping-- ain''t it?
29119Just reasoned it out yourself, eh?
29119Kill who?
29119May I ask who you are and how you happen to be here, ma''am?
29119Me goin''s''eep lound klackel- ballell, you sabbe?
29119More than once?
29119Mr. Hanscom, will you examine these shoes and say whether they are the ones worn by Rita Cuneo when you arrested her?
29119Mr. Hanscom, will you please find Dr. Carmody and tell him my father needs him?
29119Must have been a jolt-- my coming in last night the way I did?
29119Now what does he do-- what can he do to earn five dollars per day? 29119 Now what is the meaning of all that?"
29119Now will you be quiet?
29119Now, what''s it all about?
29119Oh,said Hanscom,"kind of a robbers''den, eh?
29119Ought I to sit in there?
29119Over the trail? 29119 Phwat will ye be doin''nixt, ye squint- eyed monkey?
29119Rather dashes him to find out she''s a moneyed person, do n''t it? 29119 Señorita, which of your friends rode the blaze- faced sorrel?"
29119Sha''n''t we stop, Allie?
29119Suppose the storm blocks the trails so that the men can not return for a week? 29119 Surely the judge will take that into account?"
29119Surely? 29119 Tell me what you did?"
29119Then you will go back to them?
29119There''ll be something doing when she comes back in the spring, eh?
29119Was Watson at home?
29119Was he drunk?
29119Was he on foot?
29119Was he the man that rode away this morning?
29119Was it Busby?
29119Was it a voice like?
29119Was it really a band of Indians?
29119Was your daughter there?
29119Was your father at home each time?
29119We came up here with a geological survey, but my horse fell on my foot and I could n''t ride, so the men had to leave me behind--"Alone?
29119Well, if only we are set free-- We shall be set free, eh?
29119Well, now, which one of these men did you leave home with-- Busby or Kitsong?
29119Well, suppose that I were to tell you that we know you did, would you still deny it?
29119Well, the man''s in there and on the way to a clear title, so what are you going to do about it?
29119Were you in camp?
29119Were you in the raid this morning?
29119What about Jake?
29119What about the books?
29119What about those raiders?
29119What am I headed for? 29119 What am I here for?"
29119What are we going to do?
29119What are you doing up here on this trail? 29119 What are you doing, Dell?"
29119What are you hanging around here for?
29119What business had you to write to me? 29119 What can I do?"
29119What can you do for my girl?
29119What did he do then?
29119What did he say?
29119What did such a girl mean by living away up there with that Shellfish gang of rustlers and counterfeiters? 29119 What did you need it for?"
29119What did you tell him?
29119What do they matter-- these boots and shirts and books?
29119What do you call East?
29119What do you mean by that?
29119What do you mean by that?
29119What do you mean? 29119 What do you mean?"
29119What do you mean?
29119What do you say to that, Sherm?
29119What do you think o''this?
29119What do you think we''d better do?
29119What do you want of me?
29119What do you want?
29119What does my life amount to?
29119What does that matter to you?
29119What for?
29119What happened then?
29119What has he done?
29119What have I done to lift myself above them?
29119What if I were to make a new home-- somewhere in the West?
29119What if they decide to stay all night?
29119What is it to you?
29119What is it, Rosie?
29119What is that?
29119What is the use?
29119What is this job? 29119 What judge?"
29119What made you say that?
29119What makes you think so?
29119What makes you think so?
29119What matter if we do n''t get back?
29119What raid? 29119 What right have I to despise these people?"
29119What right have you got to arrest us, anyhow?
29119What right--? 29119 What should a feller say?
29119What was he trying to do to me?
29119What was his name?
29119What was the cause of that row out there?
29119What was the trouble?
29119What was the trouble?
29119What were you doing chasing that team? 29119 What were you doing in the Kauffmans''cabin?"
29119What were you doing on Watson''s porch last Saturday?
29119What will he think of me coming to him in this way?
29119What will you do when my people return?
29119What will you do with all this''truck''?
29119What would I be busy about?
29119What would be the good of my betraying you?
29119What would you advise? 29119 What you goin''to do about our assays?"
29119What''ll we do?
29119What''s going on here?
29119What''s it all about?
29119What''s she going to do now, Eugene?
29119What''s that you say? 29119 What''s that?"
29119What''s the ail of him?
29119What''s the matter with me?
29119What''s the matter? 29119 What''s the meaning of all this?"
29119What''s the trouble?
29119What''s the use? 29119 What''s your friend''s name?"
29119What''s your name?
29119What,she dared ask herself,"will become of this?"
29119What_ do_ you mean?
29119When did they leave?
29119When did you see him last?
29119When did_ you_ first hear of Watson''s death?
29119When do you expect them back?
29119When was he took?
29119When was it?
29119When were you over here last?
29119Where are the others?
29119Where are you from?
29119Where could I reach you?
29119Where did Fred get all the signs of toil on his trousers and boots?
29119Where did it come from?
29119Where did you go? 29119 Where do you live?"
29119Where do you want to live-- on a ranch?
29119Where have you been living since leaving home?
29119Where have you been?
29119Where is he?
29119Where were you last night?
29119Where''s the boss?
29119Where''s your own?
29119Where''s your party gone?
29119Where''s_ your_ warrant?
29119Where?
29119Where?
29119Where?
29119Which of you owns that sorrel horse?
29119Which of you rode the blaze- faced sorrel?
29119Which you did?
29119Who are the men?
29119Who are you?
29119Who is this Kelley? 29119 Who is ut?"
29119Who made''em, Eugene, and when?
29119Who pushed that screen onto me?
29119Who pushed that screen?
29119Who said he was making up to me? 29119 Who told you to deny the ownership of these shoes?"
29119Who were you taking to the train?
29119Who''re coming?
29119Who''s been here since I left? 29119 Who''s there?"
29119Who? 29119 Who?"
29119Why are you so inquisitive?
29119Why ca n''t I play the ranger here and wait upon you till the men return?
29119Why did n''t you answer my letters?
29119Why did n''t you tell me?
29119Why did you do it?
29119Why did you leave it? 29119 Why do n''t you fly?"
29119Why do n''t you stay and take your lawful punishment?
29119Why do n''t you take away that improvised table by the wall and make your bed there?
29119Why not? 29119 Why not?"
29119Why pack up?
29119Why so?
29119Why, Bid, what''s the matter? 29119 Why, why could not such a man and such a passion come with the orderly and the ethical?"
29119Why? 29119 Will I ever see her again?"
29119Will he betray nervousness?
29119Will the board accept him?
29119Will this snow go off?
29119Will you be kind enough to remove your shoe? 29119 Will you give me the names and addresses of these relatives?"
29119Will you guide them to grass and help them find shelter?
29119Will you please go to meet the doctor?
29119Will you write to me if I do?
29119Working on Gonzales''s ranch?
29119Would n''t it be better to give up and take your-- misfortune, and begin again? 29119 Would ye call me a thafe?
29119Would you consider taking me in as a side partner? 29119 Would you leave, please, for a moment?"
29119You are n''t all alone?
29119You bet I did; but what difference does that make to a sick man? 29119 You did?
29119You did? 29119 You do n''t have to live there, do you?"
29119You do n''t mean to let her in as a partner?
29119You do n''t suppose we do all the pick work in the mine, do you?
29119You fired that shot that killed the horse, did n''t you?
29119You have had a great sorrow recently, I believe?
29119You have n''t had any breakfast?
29119You hear''em voice?
29119You know that country?
29119You may be seated again,said Carmody, and after a slight pause proceeded:"Why did you dislike the deceased?
29119You mean Busby and Kitsong and yourself?
29119You mean a partner for a day?
29119You mean cowboys?
29119You mean he has been gambling?
29119You mean he has been working at something we would n''t like to know about?
29119You mean he would have been angry?
29119You mean the postmaster?
29119You mean your mental health?
29119You must n''t think of sleeping outdoors to- night-- Mr.--?
29119You ordered me out, did n''t you? 29119 You say he called at your house-- how many times?"
29119You say you''re hurt? 29119 You swear you never visited Watson''s cabin?"
29119You thought the owners of the place safely out of reach, did n''t you? 29119 You wo n''t deny my finding you there, will you?"
29119You''ll let me write to you, and you will reply once in a while, wo n''t you? 29119 You''re pretty swift, are n''t you?"
29119You''re the ranger, I suppose? 29119 ''Is she alive, I wonder?'' 29119 ''Well, we''ai n''t got a baby and no churn-- but mebbe it would run a cream- separator?'' 29119 A spy?
29119Across the divide?"
29119After a pause he asked,"When does that train get in?"
29119Alarmed at his silence, she again called out:"Who are you?
29119Alice looked up at him in the dim light of the candle and softly asked:"What will you do?
29119And what time did you say the express was due?"
29119And you were here alone-- crippled-- in this storm?"
29119And, turning sharply to where Rita sat with open mouth and dazed glance, he demanded:"Do you know what the court calls your testimony?
29119Are lightnin''-rods comin''into style again?''
29119Are there any camps above here?"
29119Are ye sick?"
29119Are you a mining expert?
29119Are you gentlemen?
29119Are you hungry?"
29119Are you ready to say so now?"
29119Are you sure he is the robber?"
29119Are you sure your party will return to- night?"
29119Are you tied up to the professor?"
29119As he came opposite the house, Busby turned in his saddle and asked,"When was Watson killed?"
29119As he came up, laden with one of his bundles of hard- won fuel, Mrs. Adams asked:"You do n''t think it will keep this up, do you?"
29119As he rose to go he said to Peggy:"Would you mind doing up a little grub for me?
29119As he struck his second match he gently asked:"Would you mind saying how you got here?"
29119At the close of the meal, as they set out to walk across the sand to the switch, he said to her:"Am I never to see you again?"
29119Bidwell said,"No,"short and curt, but Maggie asked, with a smile,"How much?"
29119But I would like to understand whether, if I require it, you will furnish this information?"
29119But in that case, who pushed that final warning under the door?
29119But let me ask you something-- is your old dad as fierce as Uncle Dan?"
29119But what can I do?"
29119But what was she doing up there in the company of that old Dutchman?"
29119But what will you be doing?"
29119But what will you do then?
29119But what''s the odds?
29119But wo n''t you come inside?
29119But, anyhow, you''ll call on me if I can be of any use, wo n''t you?"
29119By the way, how old is this little sister?"
29119Ca n''t a man do as he likes with his own?"
29119Ca n''t ye see the dawn is comin''?"
29119Ca n''t you escape to Canada?"
29119Ca n''t you get up and bathe it?
29119Ca n''t you promise me that?
29119Ca n''t you wait another day?"
29119Can it be done?"
29119Can you take care of me?"
29119Carmody continued his accusing interrogation:"What about this report of your helping the Kauffmans to leave the country?
29119Carmody was less belligerent as he said:"What about arresting these young people?
29119Carmody''s tone sharpened:"Do you mean to tell me that these are not the shoes you wore in town yesterday?"
29119Day and night I called for help, and then--_she_ came--""Who came?"
29119Did I know you before I was sick?"
29119Did I tell you that I had a bunch of cattle of my own?"
29119Did he not fight?"
29119Did n''t you know that?
29119Did she agree to come back with you?"
29119Did they know where you were?"
29119Did we have any disagreement?"
29119Did you accompany her on this trip?"
29119Did you do that?"
29119Did you recognize the man who fired that shot?"
29119Do n''t you see he is hurt?
29119Do n''t you see how kind o''dazed he is?
29119Do n''t you see that?
29119Do n''t you?"
29119Do you deny that?"
29119Do you have to go?"
29119Do you intend to stay here all winter?"
29119Do you know what we can do to you?
29119Do you like this better?"
29119Do you suppose I''d go off and leave you alone in a hole like this with a smashed leg?
29119Do you suppose a woman did the shooting?
29119Do you understand?"
29119Does that look like she was his daughter?"
29119Fan received the people at the door of the shack-- her mother being too busy in the preparation for dinner to do more than say"Howdy?"
29119For eight years I''ve been here and I''m worse off to- day than iver before-- an''the town, phwat is it?
29119Going fishing, or been?"
29119Had a good trip?"
29119Hanscom''s tone was still defiant as he replied:"It is, but I wonder if you know that they were being chased out of the country at the time?"
29119Hanscom, divining some part of the passion of self- accusation into which the girl had been thrown, eagerly asked,"Is there something more I can do?"
29119Has Busby been with you?"
29119Has she got it?"
29119Has your pain increased?"
29119Have ye anny objection?"
29119He caught it deftly and inquired, guilelessly:"Is this the first of my grub- stake, lassie?"
29119He declares now that he expected them both to stay within call, and when he heard they were running away--""How did he know they were running away?"
29119He just shoved one hip onto the edge of the porch and remarked:"''Does this dry spell reach as fur as where you''ve been?''"
29119He knew she was lying, but he only said,"When did you leave home?"
29119He was awakened by a voice he knew calling out:"Is this the way ye watch y''r mine, Sherm Bidwell?"
29119His first word was an anxious inquiry,"How are ye?"
29119How are ye?''
29119How are you standing it?
29119How comes it you''re trampin''this hot weather?''
29119How did he come to do it?"
29119How did that happen?"
29119How did the old seed get a woman like that?
29119How did you find him?"
29119How did you like it?"
29119How is the hurt foot?"
29119How long has he been in this business?"
29119How much bail is needed?"
29119How much will you take for it?"
29119How would it do for you to be so durn busy at the mine that I had to come down and bring your people up?"
29119How''s Uncle Dan?"
29119How''s the wood- pile holding out?"
29119How?"
29119I am too poor-- we have no home--""What does that matter?"
29119I did it for a girl-- and afterward, when I was on the run, what did she do?
29119I hope you found the old folks both alive?
29119I want to know ca n''t I be of some kind of use?"
29119I watched, I waited, I found them together--""And then?
29119I wonder if I''ve got to do it?"
29119I wonder what made her change her mind all of a sudden?"
29119I''m working a lease-- I mean, we are--""What do you mean by a lease?"
29119I''ve a right to resign, have n''t I?
29119Impatiently Kelley asked,"Will she be able to show us the mine?"
29119In the midst of the crowd a clear voice rang out:"The bride, is it?
29119In this wild place?"
29119Is he satisfied with it?"
29119Is it-- is it-- a woman?"
29119Is my father also excused?"
29119Is n''t it dangerous for you?
29119Is n''t she enduring the agonies for us?
29119Is that his Christian name?"
29119Is that phwat ye''re sayin''?"
29119Is that true?"
29119Is that true?"
29119Is there no other woman to accuse?
29119It was a slight but convincing evidence to the ranger, who went on:"Who was with you-- Busby or Henry?"
29119Kauffman was afoot and dressing with slow and painful movements as Hanscom re- entered, saying, cheerily,"Well, uncle, how do you feel by now?"
29119Kauffman?"
29119Kitsong broke in,"I do n''t believe all this--""When was that?"
29119L''ave it alone, will ye?"
29119May I do that?"
29119Me windysills is burthened with dirty float-- but where''s the gould?"
29119Nance stayed for supper, and just as we were goin''in dad said to me:"''How much does that red machine cost you an hour?''
29119Nobody has a license to call me a coward after what I''ve done, have they?"
29119Nothing happened after this save that an occasional nervous chill overcame Eugene and caused him to call out,"What''s that?"
29119Now what would you do?"
29119Now which was it?"
29119Now, why did he say that?
29119Now, why do n''t you get deputized, and act in his place?"
29119Oh, Dell, ca n''t you speak to me?"
29119Old Hank?
29119Ordering the Chinaman to bed, she turned and asked:"Phwat do ye mean?
29119Peggy recoiled in surprise and alarm, and Alice cried out,"Why did you come back?"
29119Pogos''all same fraud?"
29119Raines interrupted:"Will you_ swear_ to that?"
29119Raines silenced her savagely, and Carmody said:"So Busby had tried to collect that money before, had he?"
29119See that streak in the west?"
29119Shall I pack the furniture and ship it to you?"
29119Shall we tell the men who he is?"
29119She complimented him again on the condition of the mare and asked, timidly,"How much does my husband pay you?"
29119She could jam her foot into a narrow shoe if she tried, could n''t she?
29119She could not sleep, and when he rose to feed the fire she softly asked,"Does it still storm?"
29119She mused for a little while on this, and then suddenly another thought came to her:"What about his being your partner?"
29119She''s an improvement-- a vast improvement-- on the old people, do n''t you think?"
29119Sheriff?"
29119Slowly it all came back to her, and, struggling to a sitting position, she called piteously:"Dell, where are you?
29119So you think you''ve got the girl who made them tracks?"
29119Suppose they are up on that glacier?"
29119Sure of that?
29119Sure you do n''t need it?"
29119Take good care of them for me, will you?"
29119That has no connection with the question which we are to settle, which is, Who killed Watson?"
29119That''s fine of her, but does she realize what going on this bond means?"
29119The conductor, coming through, hailed him with:"Well, gettin''back, eh?
29119The first time he spoke she lifted her head like a scared animal, but after that she responded with a low,"Howdy, sir?"
29119The girl, whose name was Rita, sullenly made coffee, and as she brought it to him, he continued his interrogation:"How did you get here?"
29119The noose, tight- drawn, was like a steel embrace, and Compton called:"Thought you''d give us the slip, did ye?
29119The widow''s voice rang out:"Where ye gawun wid thim bags?"
29119Then I may see you again?"
29119Then the coroner snapped out,"Well, what were you doing there?"
29119Then, seeing that she had perhaps gone a little too far, she said, with a smile,"Mother, is n''t he the loving son?"
29119Therefore she made no comment on his statement of a desire for a home, and he asked:"Do n''t you feel like going back to your garden once more?"
29119These lumbering ranchers, these tobacco- chewing, drawling lumpkins, were they to be his companions for the rest of his life?
29119They did n''t leave you any too much, did they?"
29119Those old Spaniards had a lot of poetry in them, did n''t they?"
29119Throop handed up a pair of women''s shoes, and Carmody continued:"You swear these are the shoes worn by Margarita Cuneo when you took charge of her?"
29119To this the miner replied,"They say your husband, Iapi, was one of the sheep- eaters exiled to the mountains?"
29119Want her right now?"
29119Want to see my bank- book?"
29119Ward explained to Adams:"Our friend Smith here is a poacher-- but as our account stands I do n''t feel it my duty to report him, do you?"
29119Ward shook hands with the outlaw, but wonderingly asked of Alice,"But where was Gage?"
29119Was he disrespectful to you?"
29119Watson killed?"
29119We''d like you to have them-- wouldn''t we, daddy?"
29119Were n''t there any gardens or grass?
29119What are you doing here?"
29119What are you doing up in here?"
29119What are you-- a miner?"
29119What can I do for you?"
29119What can I do to make amends?
29119What can I do?
29119What caused him to do that?"
29119What chance have I got in this Legislature as the''Senator from Brimstone Center''?
29119What chance have we without Pogosa?
29119What could I do to earn a living there?"
29119What could she promise?
29119What did you do then?"
29119What did you do?"
29119What do you hear?"
29119What do you mean by such a cruel wish?"
29119What do you say, Eugene?
29119What do you suppose would become of this place if it was put into this dandy''s hands?"
29119What do you want?"
29119What does all the rest matter?"
29119What does this spirit Injun say?"
29119What does your boss think?"
29119What fierce desire for revenge had prompted that savage assault?
29119What for?"
29119What have you there?
29119What is the use?
29119What kind of woman would they make of Fan?
29119What makes you think that woman-- any woman-- did it?"
29119What makes you think that?"
29119What more can I do?"
29119What right had she to shield him from the law''s demand?
29119What right had this lazy Englishman to come in and marry its heiress?
29119What right had you to arrest them kids?
29119What right had you to help them witnesses to the train?
29119What right have you to come to me with such a proposal?"
29119What shall I do about the cabin?
29119What sort of a looking man was this Smith?"
29119What was I to say to him and to her?
29119What was the game in that?"
29119What was the meaning of all those rusty, ruined mills?
29119What was the use?
29119What was there in all his world to console him for the loss of her?
29119What will we do for food?"
29119What''s his real name?"
29119What''s struck you now?"
29119What''s that wonderful snowy range off there?"
29119What''s the idea?"
29119What''s the law to a tramp?"
29119What''s the matter of it?"
29119What''s the matter?
29119What''s the meaning of all this?"
29119What''s the reason of it?
29119What''s wanted of me?"
29119What''s wanted?"
29119When are they due?"
29119When did he-- When was Kitsong-- assaulted?"
29119When in the saddle and ready to ride away he called to her,"You wo n''t mind my coming over here again on Saturday, will you?"
29119Where are you living?"
29119Where can I hide it?"
29119Where did ye find ut-- and how?"
29119Where did you meet him first?
29119Where does it end?"
29119Where have you been that you have n''t heard of it?"
29119Where have you been?"
29119Where is my final camping- place?
29119Where will you go?"
29119Where''d you find it?"
29119Where-- when?"
29119Where?"
29119Which of you rode a blaze- faced sorrel?"
29119Who are you?"
29119Who cares what these beggars think?"
29119Who else but Rosa Lemont could have been so opportune and so effective in her action?
29119Who ever heard of an Injun getting up a horse for an old squaw?
29119Who is the lady?"
29119Who is the old chap, anyway?"
29119Who knows him?"
29119Who let them know of trouble from above?
29119Who was Watson''s assassin?
29119Who was he?
29119Who was with her?
29119Who were they?"
29119Who''s sick?"
29119Whom does its owner find to carry up here?"
29119Why connect me with it?
29119Why did you tell me?
29119Why do n''t ye work yer- silves-- ye loots?
29119Why do n''t you go down to the Springs and sit on her porch?
29119Why do n''t you ride away into the wild north country and begin a new life somewhere?
29119Why not be honest with me?"
29119Why not submit to fate?
29119Why should I be upholding the law?
29119Why should I be witness of this?"
29119Why should not her tale produce other sides of bacon, more oranges, and many yards of cloth?
29119Why was he the hostler?
29119Why were there so many empty cabins?
29119Why, consider the float, it''s everywhere-- and you know there''s colors in every sand- bar?
29119Will you do this?"
29119Will you please wire Mr. Paul Lyford, president of the company, and have five thousand dollars transferred to my credit in your bank?"
29119With eager, anxious voice she called out:"Is that you, Doctor?"
29119Without a word, other than a careless,"That so?"
29119Wo n''t you be seated?"
29119Wo n''t you light out?''
29119Wo n''t you put your horse in the corral?"
29119Wo n''t you''picket''and come in?"
29119Would it not be better for him to sacrifice himself to the vengeance of the state at once and so end it?
29119Would n''t he shuffle the mail fer you?"
29119Ye thought ye''d ooze out, did ye?
29119You are n''t really leaving?"
29119You did n''t know you left your footprints in some flour on the floor, did you?"
29119You get me?"
29119You hear me?"
29119You heard the old man kind o''feelin''around in his old hay- mow of a mind about me?
29119You saw me go down in the valley with them?
29119You there?"
29119You understand that, do you?"
29119You will write, wo n''t you?"
29119You''re not going to move?"
29119You''ve been playing the gentleman in this enterprise and all this make- up is for our benefit, is n''t it?"
29119Your party?"
29119[ Illustration:"YOU''RE PRETTY SWIFT, AREN''T YOU?"
29119_ AFTERWORD__ Have you seen sunsets so beautiful that your heart ached to watch them fade?
29119and the brakeman asked:"How did you find the East?"
29119so that''s the way of it-- ye did n''t mean it before?
29119was n''t I in luck?"
29119what''ll I do when you leave?"
45047''Am I to be deaf to the appeal of redskin brothers who are fighters and not thieves? 45047 A da''ter of one of these top- shelf hunting gentlemen,"remarked the old man, laughing;"and wants help mighty sudden?
45047A large party?
45047A letter?
45047A prisoner?
45047A trapper?
45047A''stag party?'' 45047 Ah, but for how long?
45047Am I not your very slave, and as such obliged to obey you? 45047 Am I sure of my being in my boots?
45047And his name?
45047And now, may I just put one question to you, señor?
45047And the countersign?
45047And will your captain help me to learn the fate of my poor father, and the brave men he engaged-- if any escaped from that horrid massacre?
45047Are n''t we to know any more?
45047Are the ears of my father open?
45047Are you brave?
45047Are you captain of some party, sir?
45047Are you not going back this way?
45047Are you sure that''s Sol?
45047Are you sure?
45047As how?
45047At hand? 45047 Attendant?"
45047Besides,murmured he,"what would''Dave Steelder''say if he knew me to turn such a skulk?
45047But Bill and the Californian left us, as usual, at sunrise; whar''bouts do we gather''em in?
45047But can not you guess, as the Yankees do?
45047But how do I find you here when Foxface was set over this tent?
45047But the Old Man of the Mountain, the friend of the Cherokee, would he not come to the aid of the Piegans?
45047But whither? 45047 But why are they put everywhere except just behind this tent?"
45047But why did I hear no whoops when they made their''coups''on Sol and Pete?
45047But you do not tell me where we meet?
45047By that Mr. Ridge, perhaps?
45047By the way, where''s the Frenchman?
45047Can a body come in without disturbing you too much?
45047Can it be true?
45047Can you spare your son?
45047Church moosic? 45047 Did this gentleman really save you from the monsters?"
45047Did you come through the Yellowstone Basin?
45047Did you ever meet''Oregon Ol,''[1] in your rustling about? 45047 Do I know''Trading Jake?''
45047Do n''t know-- want to see him?
45047Do tell?
45047Do you insist upon that?
45047Do you know him?
45047Do you mean they are watching us?
45047Do you mean to say he is hurt?
45047Do you mean you are going so untimely?
45047Do you not believe it is likely?
45047Do you railly think the red devils would browse so near_ our_ camp?
45047Do you suppose that in the husk of Captain Kidd could abide this same Mathias Corvino, señorita?
45047Don Gregorio? 45047 Eh?"
45047Gold seekers?
45047Gold there?
45047Have I, indeed, friends in this vast loneliness?
45047Have you found the Frenchman?
45047Have you nothing, after all, to say?
45047Have you seen any eagles on the sierra today?
45047Hist?
45047How am I getting on with Kidd? 45047 How are you getting on, boys?"
45047How are you thriving with the Cap.?
45047How has it ended?
45047I flee, and abandon the lady into the power of disreputable men? 45047 I just want to know if you know Mr. Brasher, of Varina?"
45047I wonder why?
45047I-- I came in-- in the nick, did n''t I?
45047If he and his friends block our entrance into the Yellowstone''Park,''what would you do?
45047If he were known to you in your earliest years, where would that be?
45047It looks so, does it not? 45047 It''s all pure contradiction,"resumed Dearborn;"who can say a thing is black to a woman without her saying it is white?"
45047Mr. Dearborn, are you the man to render me still a further service?
45047Must it be destroyed?
45047Near the ladies''tent?
45047No trees, no rocks?
45047No, captain? 45047 None of the scouts come in?"
45047Nothing to keep us here, eh?
45047Of the Red River Half- breeds, then, who are camped yonder? 45047 Of the sledging train, whose unconcealed traces abounded to the northeast, as Lottery Paul reported two days ago?"
45047Of whom, then, captain?
45047Oh, here you are, eh? 45047 Oh, then you hope he will overtake us?"
45047Oh, what must we do?
45047Oh, why is not Don Gregorio on the spot? 45047 Oh, you call that an accident, do you, old man?
45047Oh, you mean Joe?
45047One question: what is Captain Kidd''s behaviour towards you?
45047One question?
45047Or wild beasts in the glens?
45047Over the range into California? 45047 Perhaps Don Gregorio telegraphed to you overnight that he was about due?"
45047Perhaps I may smoke whilst it comes again, by your leave, of course?
45047Pray tell me, have I parents, have I kinsfolk?
45047Ready, sir?
45047So you have fairly viewed him?
45047So you know him?
45047So,said Kidd,"you were unable to fulfil my charge, and have brought back no information beyond this attack on you?"
45047Strike a bargain, eh? 45047 That must come from a friend, no doubt?"
45047That''s good to say, but how can it be done? 45047 That''s the true talk?
45047The lady asks you what''ll we best do?
45047The man said that?
45047Theatrical, eh? 45047 Then I understand the rest,"returned the gold seeker, laughing,"Foxface caught the Frenchman''s complaint, and both took the remedy internally?"
45047To answer? 45047 To what end?
45047Very well; spite of the repulsion he causes, I will be polite to him, kind-- I will even speak to him--"Why not at once?
45047Was that your singing I heard in the night, or was that a dream?
45047Well, I ai n''t that style of man,said the latter;"and seeing you are facing me, what do you say?"
45047Well, are n''t you coming on? 45047 Well, brother?"
45047Well, what is your answer, young lady?
45047Well, what is your opinion of them; your cold drawn opinion of them, as they say? 45047 Well, where are you hurt, to begin with?"
45047Well?
45047Well?
45047What breed?
45047What did I say? 45047 What did I tell you, señorita?
45047What did you bring him into the ranche for, chief?
45047What do you conclude from this arrangement?
45047What do you decide?
45047What do you friends want to waste a stab and a cut for when we are literally surrounded by the enemy? 45047 What do you say?"
45047What do you think, Miss Maclan?
45047What do you want?
45047What does the old father say?
45047What has his name and his appearance got to do with it?
45047What is my son''s desire?
45047What is the news for us? 45047 What is this all?"
45047What is your advice, sir? 45047 What kind of man was your assailant?"
45047What makes you prowl about alone?
45047What the Canadians called the''Infernal Regions,''and the trappers the''Fireholes?'' 45047 What the thunder did you fire for?"
45047What we? 45047 What women?"
45047What would you do in my place, man full of dodges?
45047What''s come to you, friend?
45047What''s the matter?
45047What''s the meaning of all this?
45047What''s the use of this bullying bounce?
45047What''s this cold Englishman to me?
45047What''s your horse good for still?
45047What''s your opinion, Dick?
45047What, my friend Corky Joe?
45047What?
45047What?
45047When do we make a start, captain?
45047When may we start?
45047Where are the bears?
45047Where is Joe?
45047Who comes?
45047Who introduced you at that school, where the terms were high, I have heard say?
45047Who was this?
45047Who''s that?
45047Who?
45047Why do n''t he come back all the way, then?
45047Why have the palefaces come into my camp?
45047Why not even have gone through the Mormon country? 45047 Why not?
45047Why should he not ride on in front of us, and keep the way clear? 45047 Will he even deny my statement?"
45047Will you talk up now, you brute?
45047With these horse from the south''ard? 45047 Yes, but how and why?
45047You are a white, an American of these Western States,returned the other, quietly,"whence your right to pull me about and question me?
45047You are not trifling with me?
45047You have succeeded?
45047You mean business?
45047You will do this, eh?
45047Your calls?
45047_ Hands off!_ This is the buzzard''s bait, do you hear?
45047_ ¿ Quién sabe?_--who knows but we may run up against him?
45047''Ca n''t you ask her anyway?
45047''Spose I do n''t choose?"
45047''Want to know?"
45047''Where from?''
45047And what is your business where few of us who are regular trappers venture?"
45047Anything else, stranger?"
45047Are we not all other than what we seem here?
45047Are you afraid of the Crows who infest the wood?
45047Are you alive?
45047Are you still in this world?
45047Are you sure?"
45047Are your horns full?
45047As for you, why stop my wandering?
45047At last, I heard they had separated, and gone who knows where-- over the mountains, on the sea, up in the mines?
45047Besides, where''s his interest in betraying me?
45047But allow me to ask you, Doña, if you have had a long knowledge of them?"
45047But how has my uncle and the rest been getting on?"
45047But look at his skin-- is it white, is it red, is it even yellow?
45047But what am I to do with the women?"
45047But what are white women doing here?
45047But what can I do?
45047But what can so small a force do, however bold and cunning?
45047But what do you say that for?"
45047But what''s the sense of bringing his memory up?
45047But why did you not let me know before?
45047But, half a minute, my boy-- where am I to find you in case I should require you?"
45047By the way you were worried about who placed me on guard over this young lady?
45047Can he name his father among men renowned in battle?
45047Can he name his mother?
45047Do my brothers comprehend?"
45047Do you comprehend now?"
45047Do you consent to receive him?"
45047Do you mean to say he is placed near you by someone?"
45047Do you recoil?"
45047Do you waver?
45047Does not the Cherokee know-- his moccasins have crossed the traces of theirs?"
45047Does not the Lieutenant plague you all he can?"
45047Does the old Yager wish the help of the Piegans to keep off the whites?
45047Does your_ cayuse_ kick at so little an added load as the young gal?
45047For one, may not Hank Brown be Corvino, or Cornelio Bustamente, whose portrait you traced, señorita?"
45047For what would have become of a boy like you in these deserts in a storm such as shook the earth last night?
45047Freedom?
45047Have I done anything more than essay to defend my life when a firearm was levelled at my breast?
45047Have I sought to run against you?
45047Have n''t we better things to do than go popping pistols off when the rocks swarm with redskins who have made a raise?"
45047He?"
45047Help me, now, my friends, with your practical counsel-- how can I soonest overtake those men?"
45047How about the others?"
45047How do you know what state I am in before I tell you?
45047How does the domestic dog escape being devoured by the prairie wolves when abandoned at a camp?
45047How is it he has contrived to get away without leaving any traces?
45047How''s that wretch Paul getting on?"
45047I mean, are you not wounded?"
45047Is his Cherokee mate sent to ask that help?"
45047Is it settled?"
45047Is not every one of us wearing a mask from Captain Kidd down?"
45047Is not our cause, our hope, the same?
45047Is that a good notion, brothers?"
45047Is there not always something to be gained by betraying a man like me?
45047Killed an Indian for the rope?"
45047Let out your pony-- don''t you see he is waving his hand that all''s clear?"
45047Let us drop the hot but dying coals of dissention, therefore, and-- what were we talking about when they flew out of the fire?"
45047Look at the gal trembling; what on airth must she think of your broughtens up?"
45047Must I not keep a lookout for your retreat?"
45047Nevertheless, he was surprised into some courtesy on seeing nobody but the young lady, for he removed his fur cap a little, and faltered:"Who are you?
45047Now, am I to be torn to pieces for an Injin holiday, and this cowardly slayer to be let off with a clean, easy, smoothly greased rope?
45047Now, is it in our power to repay you?"
45047Oh, dear Rosario, what a blessing this is for you, and perhaps for me, for I am to keep by you, am I not?
45047Shall I whistle him over?"
45047Shall we have a turn at them?"
45047So tell me if you ever knew the captain before he stole you away from your boarding school at New Orleans, kept by the Misses Featherley?"
45047State anything that gives you a right to deal with a citizen of the United States in the United States?"
45047Still silent?
45047Surely, now, something new is at hand; I hope you are going to tell me?"
45047Tell me, where were you going when we met?"
45047That''s why you announced yourself in that rather theatrical manner you use out here?"
45047The guide spoken of by the captain is devoted to us, eh?
45047The moment I learnt from your adherent-- a stout fellow, eh?
45047The sooner I reinforce you the better, eh?
45047The young woman can not accompany me where I must lead-- are we all to be uselessly crumpled up, or all to be saved?"
45047This is a free country, ai n''t it?
45047This is never your work, is it?"
45047To what tribe does this patchwork man belong that he dares class me with such as he?
45047Was it not James?
45047We so seldom have company, eh, Bill?
45047Well, I am thousands of miles from the home and graves of my fathers-- am I among brothers or foes?"
45047Well, Mr. Dearborn, out of the trap?"
45047Well, suppose you do kill me, will you know more about me than you do now?"
45047Whar''do''ee think you are?
45047What brings you out here up in the mountains?"
45047What did you take us for?--robbers and murderers?"
45047What do you make of it, Bill?"
45047What do you make them out to be?"
45047What do you think of our scrape?"
45047What do you think of that?"
45047What do you think, guide?"
45047What does my brother think of my words?
45047What have you been about, boy?"
45047What have you come over to propose?"
45047What if the white trappers and hunters unite with these Canadians and the Men of Montana?"
45047What is all that for?
45047What is it, my boys?"
45047What is my father''s opinion on this?
45047What is the defence?"
45047What new''skeeter''s bit you?"
45047What next?"
45047What ought the redskins to do when the mine robbers threaten to invade the holy ground of the Basin of Fire?"
45047What''s the drift of this stupid row?
45047What''s the matter?
45047What''s your name for the fire of a battery of nine- pounders and a charge of dragoons?"
45047What''s your proposal?"
45047Where is he?
45047Who and what are you, stranger?"
45047Who are they?
45047Who are you with a light, and so free with your boot?"
45047Who are you, I say?
45047Who are you?"
45047Who is in the right?
45047Who is it, anyhow, that I''ve peppered?"
45047Who''ll come on with me?
45047Why did n''t he come along?"
45047Why should we not all profit by it?
45047Why, then, should I want to sit down with the knife in my girdle, as you carry yours?
45047Will you join us-- sharing and sharing alike-- if my men agree to the union?
45047With a dignity that struck all beholders, the Cherokee sat in the place Red Knife vacated, and lifting his hand to entreat silence, said gravely?
45047Wo n''t the fear of hellish torture make any backward spirit brave?
45047You know what you are to do?"
45047You mean you would trust to your horse?"
45047You mean, what is to become of the baggage?"
45047and, as the pair continued to glower at each other, their hands on their weapons, he went on:"Must I knock you both down to l''arn you manners?
45047coincided the leader;"But how about dinner with us?"
45047cried he with frank joy;"A good rifle instead of that broken musket, food and powder, clothes against this searching air?"
45047cried the captain,"We are all in the same box, are n''t we?"
45047he answered, with ironical kindliness,"Whither would she go if I were to present her with the freedom she longs for?
45047he thought to himself,"Can it be?
45047said Ulla;"Who will save me if you are slain?"
45047said he,''Is this the practical joke you played, Monsieur Matamas?''"
29572A forty- five gun with a thirty- eight bore, George? 29572 A stranger?
29572Across the river?
29572After all I know-- why not?
29572After all you know?
29572Ai n''t that blamed doctor here yet? 29572 Almost criminal, was n''t it?"
29572Alone in the rain?
29572Am I a thing?
29572And Sinclair was away from the ranch from Saturday noon till Sunday night?
29572And do you mind my giving you a confidence, Mr. Smith? 29572 And may I come over after I tell Rooney Lee to repeat this to headquarters?"
29572And no one was hurt?
29572And say, Chris, go down and read the bridge gauge, will you? 29572 And suppose you were?"
29572And this is where you stay?
29572And whom may I say the message is from?
29572And will you tell me what_ I_ should be doing while you were explaining?
29572And you expect me to sit by and fold my hands while that wretch sheds more blood, do you?
29572And you told him, of course?
29572And you''ll see we make nothing, wo n''t you?
29572Another what?
29572Are n''t you ashamed to make fun of me?
29572Are you Mr. McCloud? 29572 Are you Whispering Smith?"
29572Are you not trying to broil a roast of beef?
29572Are you suffering much, Du Sang?
29572Are you sure you can find your way back?
29572Are you taking your hat off for me in the rain? 29572 Arrest him?
29572As many as that?
29572At least, wo n''t you let your horse drink?
29572Awake, Gordon?
29572Boys, have you happened to see Gene or Bob Johnson to- day, any of you?
29572Brown, why have you never learned to smoke?
29572Burn the whole thing up, eh?
29572But can the men work in such a downpour?
29572But how can it be? 29572 But the hill road?"
29572But what are you going to do?
29572But you started out together; where did you leave her?
29572But you will allow me to ride back to the house with you?
29572But, Dicksie, is it all right?
29572But, by Heaven, George,exclaimed Smith, speaking with unaccustomed fervor,"Miss Dicksie Dunning is a hummer,_ is n''t_ she?
29572But,he added, moderating his utterance,"when they succeed-- who gets anything out of it but the dog?"
29572Ca n''t I ride him down?
29572Can you ask me whether you ought not to take every means to defend your own life? 29572 Damn you, ai n''t you dead yet?
29572Dicksie, dare you tell me, after a shock like that, it really_ is_ your pin?
29572Dicksie, what do you mean? 29572 Did he?"
29572Did you come from across the river?
29572Did you ever have to kill a man, George?
29572Did you know my daddy used to run an engine?
29572Did you say George? 29572 Did you see him alone, Bill?"
29572Did you shed a tear for me? 29572 Do n''t you know me?"
29572Do n''t you know you have said it to me many times without words? 29572 Do n''t you know?"
29572Do n''t you like this country? 29572 Do n''t you suppose I know he writes letters back to Wisconsin to your folks?"
29572Do n''t you think I care anything about you? 29572 Do n''t you want to take Brill Young with you?"
29572Do you accuse me of false representations?
29572Do you call this far? 29572 Do you hear me?
29572Do you know what you promised last night? 29572 Do you know who shot at me?"
29572Do you mean it?
29572Do you think I am going to allow this railroad company to ruin this ranch while I am responsible here? 29572 Do you think so?"
29572Do you think this is a summer resort? 29572 Do you usually,"he asked, looking suddenly up,"have success in setting roosters?"
29572Do you want to see me?
29572Do you want to take charge here? 29572 Does everything you say come true?"
29572Du Sang?
29572Farrell, if you had n''t been a railroad man you would have made a great undertaker, do you know that?
29572Find my way back?
29572First name?
29572Four?
29572Going back to- night, do you say? 29572 Going to turn us loose on Red Desert, are you?"
29572Gordon, would it do any good to ask a few questions?
29572Got any Sugar Buttes money?
29572Have my men got nothing to do but carry a tramp to water? 29572 Have n''t seen any men looking for horses this morning, have you?"
29572Have they made you superintendent already?
29572Have we enough to stand in?
29572Have you diagnosed the case?
29572Have you fellows let Du Sang get away while you were playing fool here?
29572Have you got everything? 29572 Have you got everything?"
29572Have you had any supper, Dannie? 29572 Have you noticed it?
29572Have you the horses below? 29572 Hear his name?"
29572Hello, old boy, how the devil did you get here?
29572Help me to get it off my mind, will you, please?
29572How about the mining?
29572How am I to answer it?
29572How am I to do it?
29572How am I to get to Point of Rocks-- walk there?
29572How are we to sit?
29572How are you going to turn your train around on a single track?
29572How are you making it over here?
29572How are you, Bill?
29572How can a man make a living in this country,asked the rancher, with a bitter oath,"unless he picks up everything that''s going?"
29572How can you ask me so terrible a question?
29572How could I explain?
29572How could it catch fire? 29572 How dare you speak in that way to me?
29572How did you know we rode away? 29572 How do I know?
29572How do you do? 29572 How do you know?"
29572How do you know?
29572How goes it?
29572How is Number One, Rooney?
29572How is your arm?
29572How long has Du Sang been in town? 29572 How long will it take them to clean up this mess with what help we can run in this afternoon?"
29572How many men have you got with you, Reed?
29572How''s that?
29572I always want to go, do n''t I?
29572I am going to get dinner; do you want to help?
29572I presume Mr. Sinclair is here?
29572I shall be going with you, shall I not? 29572 I think you are mistaken, are n''t you?"
29572I wanted to ask you whether you would sell us some grain- sacks, Mr. McCloud, to use at the river, if you could spare them?
29572I wonder how the river is? 29572 I''m afraid I do n''t understand you-- do you ask me this question?
29572Identity?
29572If it''s the crowd we think it is, would they go straight home? 29572 If they could put one day between them and pursuit, would n''t they be safer at home than anywhere else?
29572If you are both going, can you be ready by twelve o''clock for the China Mail?
29572In the real- estate business? 29572 Into the claims or into the lake?"
29572Is he in his room, do you think?
29572Is he, Marion? 29572 Is it really serious business?"
29572Is n''t it a shame to be disappointed like this?
29572Is that hobo alive yet?
29572Is that the best you can do?
29572Is that the man who was in the wreck?
29572Is the line clear?
29572Is there anything I can do for you?
29572Is there_ any_ man here that wants to go back to work for the company?
29572Is this man all right?
29572Is this the terrible man I have heard about?
29572Is this where you stay?
29572Is this your bunch of horses that got loose here?
29572It is curious how you remember things that happened when you were a boy, is n''t it? 29572 It''s as good as done,"announced Dancing, taking up his hat,"and, Mr. McCloud, might I have a little advance for cigars and things?"
29572It''s fine for to- night, is n''t it?
29572It''s great, is n''t it?
29572It''s nothing I can do or leave undone, is it?
29572Let me run that end of it, will you? 29572 Look anything like that man standing with his hands in his pockets over there by the wheel?"
29572Look here, McCloud, what''s a pay check to a man that''s sick, compared with a bottle of good wine?
29572Look here, what do you want?
29572Looks like all day for you, does n''t it? 29572 Looks to me like I seen you down at Crawling Stone, ai n''t I?"
29572Lost Smoky Creek Bridge?
29572Marion, what do you mean? 29572 Marion,"he cried, with an oath,"do you know how close you are to death at this moment?"
29572McCloud, are you a Van Dyne man?
29572Miss Dunning, wo n''t you listen just a moment? 29572 My dear Marion, why did they drag you away out here?"
29572Not from Ed Banks?
29572Not of my affair?
29572Not since he left the mountains a year ago?
29572Now tell me how_ you_ heard so much about it, Gordon, and where?
29572Now who is their friend down in this country? 29572 Now why do you want to start Bill on a fool business like that?"
29572Now, shall I break your arm?
29572Now, who is Wickwire?
29572Now, will some of you tell me who Du Sang is?
29572Oh, Mr. McCloud, have you heard the awful news? 29572 Oh, is n''t that a relief?"
29572Oh, what shall I do?
29572Oh, you are? 29572 One of Dunning''s men, was it?
29572Or will one of you roll a cigarette?
29572Or will you behave? 29572 Others?"
29572Pardon me,ventured McCloud,"have you lost your way?"
29572Past twelve? 29572 Pray, why not?"
29572Running too fast, eh?
29572Sacks? 29572 See here, Rebstock, you and I have always got along, have n''t we?
29572Seriously, now,Whispering Smith went on,"do n''t you know people who, if they were thoroughly prosperous, would be intolerable-- simply intolerable?
29572Shall we let her, Marion? 29572 Should n''t you rather take good money and get off the division?
29572Sinclair, what are you doing in Medicine Bend? 29572 So it was fixed up for cash a week ago?"
29572Something for me? 29572 Stay here?
29572Stranger, eh?
29572Submit? 29572 Such as what?"
29572Supper is served to all on duty at twelve o''clock, and we''re on duty, are n''t we? 29572 Suppose you were?"
29572Surrender myself? 29572 Take off your coat, wo n''t you, please?"
29572That man?
29572That''s a good story about the mules coming from Denver, ai n''t it?
29572That''s the superintendent''s car coming, ai n''t it, Murray?
29572The merchandise is all unloaded, is n''t it?
29572Then tell me how_ you_ could do it?
29572Then what''s all this fuss about?
29572Then where is your fight? 29572 Then you ca n''t tell me whether there were five men or six?"
29572Then, tell me, what favor may I do for you?
29572They are not doing anything, are they, but running around in a circle? 29572 They lied to you, did n''t they?
29572This is your office, is n''t it?
29572This shell pin fell from your hair that night you were at camp by the bridge-- do you remember? 29572 Tired of waiting, Bob?
29572Up jump the devil, is it? 29572 Was anybody else there when you saw McCloud, Bill?"
29572Was he at Sugar Buttes?
29572Was it a passenger wreck?
29572Was n''t he, Dannie?
29572We can be ready in an hour,declared Dicksie, throwing her arm half around Marion''s neck,"ca n''t we, Marion?"
29572We must try to think how he would like things done now, must n''t we? 29572 We''re doing that without rising, are n''t we?"
29572Well, I told you I was going to come, did n''t I? 29572 Well, do n''t you want to start in on me?
29572Well, do you think you can find the way down there for us?
29572Well, what''s er matter with you fellows? 29572 Well, what''s your plan?"
29572Well, who do you want?
29572Well, you drink, do n''t you? 29572 What are you going to do?"
29572What are you looking for, perfection in rhetorical figure? 29572 What are you so high and mighty about?"
29572What are you talking about?
29572What are you trying to do?
29572What can you do with him?
29572What can you shoot, Pearline? 29572 What did you tell him?"
29572What do you care, if I''ve got the coin? 29572 What do you do when it thunders?"
29572What do you mean?
29572What do you think of it, Gordon?
29572What do you think of it?
29572What do you want me for? 29572 What do you want, Bill?"
29572What does he want now? 29572 What for?"
29572What has been happening since I left town?
29572What have I to do with that? 29572 What have we to thank for it all but trouble?"
29572What have you done with my cattle?
29572What is it, Bill?
29572What is it, Dannie?
29572What is it, George?
29572What is it, Rockstro?
29572What is it, Rooney?
29572What is it-- money?
29572What is my duty then? 29572 What is that mining man''s name?"
29572What kind of a wizard is Murray Sinclair? 29572 What makes you think that?"
29572What might be your line of business?
29572What might your name be, mister?
29572What of it? 29572 What of it?"
29572What shall I say-- what can I say? 29572 What should you say if I gave you a confidence?"
29572What the deuce is it, Stevens?
29572What time is it, please?
29572What was it all about?
29572What would become of the lives of the friends you protect if you were killed?
29572What''s on time?
29572What''s the matter-- is she sick?
29572What''s the use, Wickwire?
29572What''s your game?
29572What''s your name?
29572What, Whispering Smith? 29572 What, would you drive us off land you have already deeded?"
29572What? 29572 Where are you going?"
29572Where are you?
29572Where could you get white men to work like that if you did n''t jolly them along once in a while? 29572 Where did you come from?"
29572Where did you come from?
29572Where did you hear about that?
29572Where do I look as if I had come from? 29572 Where is your hat, George-- the one he put the bullet through?"
29572Where''s Kennedy?
29572Where-- there? 29572 Where?
29572Which is deputy sheriff this year, Bob or Gene? 29572 Which is your bed?"
29572Which of you fellows is Whispering Smith?
29572Which way are you going to- night, Gordon?
29572Who are you going to take with you?
29572Who are you?
29572Who is every one?
29572Who is it, Puss?
29572Who missed me?
29572Who says I ca n''t see her?
29572Who turned the trick, Wickwire?
29572Who?
29572Whose team is that, Sinclair?
29572Why did n''t you thank Murray Sinclair, you mule?
29572Why did n''t you?
29572Why did you come, then? 29572 Why do n''t you come back?"
29572Why do n''t you come out when I send a man to you, or send word what you will do? 29572 Why have I learned to ride,"went the question through her mind,"if not for this-- for those I love and for those who love me?"
29572Why must you ride home with me when I do n''t want you to?
29572Why need you hurry away?
29572Why not let me ride down and manage it without bringing you into it at all?
29572Why not let us cross where we are, and run a new level for your ditch that will put the flume higher up?
29572Why not?
29572Why should you take the rain for me?
29572Why were n''t the cattle sent through that way yesterday? 29572 Why, God a''mighty, Dicksie, what''s the matter?"
29572Why, what is the matter?
29572Why, you are in real earnest, are n''t you? 29572 Why?
29572Will you be good enough to leave this room?
29572Will you give me a corner lot if we put another station on the ranch?
29572Will you?
29572Williams Cache, was n''t it? 29572 Wo n''t it be fun to shove this man right under Du Sang''s nose and make him bat his eyes?"
29572Wo n''t you give me the number and let me telephone?
29572Wo n''t you hear me a moment? 29572 Would n''t give a man a tie- pass, would you?"
29572Would you ride away from me just because you have a better horse?
29572Would you trust me with a confidence?
29572Yes, what is it? 29572 You are not such a mind- reader after all, are you?
29572You are sure he is in town?
29572You call it pushing in, do you, Gordon? 29572 You have about seven years to serve, Rockstro, have n''t you?
29572You have n''t forgotten the Smoky Creek wreck? 29572 You mean Seagrue, the Montana cowboy?
29572You wo n''t draw? 29572 You wo n''t think me abrupt, will you?"
29572You would n''t? 29572 You would n''t?
29572You''ll let me ride the same road, wo n''t you-- even if I ca n''t keep up?
29572You''re going to send us back to Medicine Bend with the car, I suppose?
29572You''re not going away for good, Murray?
29572You''ve thrown yourself, have n''t you, Murray?
29572You''ve turned against me too, have you, you gray- haired wolf? 29572 _ Ve gates?_""How''s that?"
29572_ Ve gates?_"How''s that?
29572_ Wie geht es?_ Do n''t pretend you ca n''t make out my German. 29572 ''Tell me, Klein,''I asked, after he had quit dragging me out-- he''s a Hanoverian--''where did you get your pull? 29572 ''What''s the matter with your face, Bill?'' 29572 ''Where''s the new superintendent?'' 29572 ''Where''s your dad?'' 29572 Ai n''t that what you want?
29572All I want to know is, will you go with me?"
29572All?"
29572Am I to remember first that he is your husband?"
29572Am I your cowboy, to be defiled with your curses?"
29572And are n''t we five able- bodied jays, gentlemen?
29572And did he sit there while you talked this over with the college guy?"
29572And have n''t they laid out one day''s work for us, good and plenty?
29572And have n''t you made a radical mistake to start with?"
29572And how about your height?
29572And how are you?
29572And how will you get back?"
29572And what horror might not another day bring-- what lives still closer to her life be taken?
29572Are n''t you happy here?
29572Are n''t you?
29572Are the men there to- night?
29572Are you a doctor?"
29572Are you engaged to Dicksie?"
29572Are you engaged to anybody?"
29572Are you going to eat all the bacon, Mr. McCloud, or do we draw a portion of it?
29572Are you hurt?"
29572Are you plucky?"
29572Are you really alive and unhurt?
29572Are you willing to say that I stand in the way of a settlement?"
29572Arrest Sinclair?
29572Bill, this is old Harvey Du Sang, meanest man in the mountains to his enemies and the whitest to his friends-- eh, Harvey?"
29572Bring him down here, will you, and see he does n''t go to the dogs?
29572Bucks?"
29572But I''ve got only two minutes for it all, only two minutes; do you think Puss has any on the stove?"
29572But did you know that Williams shot down Gordon Smith''s only brother, a trainmaster, in cold blood in front of the Wickiup at Medicine Bend?
29572But he wo n''t leave the country; do you think he will?"
29572But how did you_ ever_ get here?
29572But is he as pitiless as they say, Marion?"
29572But what has that to do with your trouble?
29572But where am I to board?
29572But, Miss Dicksie, could n''t we ride back to the house and ride around the other way into camp?
29572By the way, Mrs. Sinclair, does this man keep you supplied with transportation?"
29572By the way, are you a detective, Fatty?
29572By the way, may I ask which shoulder?"
29572CHAPTER XXI SUPPER IN CAMP"Will you never be done with your telephoning?"
29572Ca n''t you do something for him?"
29572Ca n''t you eat anything?
29572Can it be George Seagrue?
29572Can we stay here all night?"
29572Can you manage that?
29572Can you name one?
29572Come, now, who is going to walk in first?
29572Could I keep him from going?"
29572Could Puss put up a lunch I could take to him?
29572Could either of them ever quite forget it?
29572Could they be sent against Sinclair?
29572Could you, honestly?
29572Cousin Lance is superintending the street work-- and whom do you think I am going to name it after?
29572Dancing, do n''t you know me?"
29572Dare I ask--_why_ do they call you Whispering Smith?
29572Dear me, it is kind of nice, to be able to order up a train when you want one in a hurry, is n''t it, Marion?
29572Deserved or not, whatever she should say or not say, what would she feel?
29572Dicksie, are you crazy?
29572Dicksie, unabashed, kept right on:"Well, do you know how traffic is increasing over there, with the trains running only two months now?
29572Did I tell you how we picked up the trail yesterday?
29572Did Wickwire have a talk with you?
29572Did he make good?
29572Did n''t Marion tell you?
29572Did n''t you ask me to tell the story?"
29572Did you ever see such eyes in a human being, set like that and blinking so in the light?
29572Did you expect me to sit with folded hands when I heard you were ill anywhere in the wide world?"
29572Did you know Bug Robinson?"
29572Did you know I used to be a cowboy in the mountains years ago?
29572Did you know there are two men out at the crossing now, guarding it with rifles?
29572Did your grandfather serve as a grenadier under old Frederick William and was he kidnapped?''
29572Did your ride make you ill?
29572Do I know any of you?"
29572Do n''t be bashful; you''ve got friends on the division if you are Irish, eh?"
29572Do n''t you believe it?
29572Do n''t you remember my telling about the man that got Chuck Williams and hauled him out of the Cache on a buckboard?
29572Do n''t you suppose I know he spends his time loafing around your shop?"
29572Do n''t you think I would go anywhere to save the ranch?
29572Do n''t you want to freshen up?
29572Do n''t you?"
29572Do they give interest on passes?"
29572Do you hear me?
29572Do you know President Bucks?
29572Do you know Whispering Smith?
29572Do you know anything about the infernal climate there?
29572Do you know him?"
29572Do you know what a derelict is?
29572Do you know what this young lady did this morning?
29572Do you know whether it is true?"
29572Do you know, I have been waiting in town three or four hours now for Cousin Lance?
29572Do you know, I send him an annual every year?
29572Do you mind going out under the cottonwood?"
29572Do you never do that?"
29572Do you remember the tramp who had his legs crushed and lay in the sun all morning?
29572Do you remember-- in the Pan Handle?
29572Do you suppose I am going to mix up in a fight like this?
29572Do you think_ I_ want to get killed?
29572Do you want him in the street to- night?"
29572Do you want money or a pass?"
29572Do you want them to wait till I''m gray- headed?"
29572Do you want to get out of it, or do you want me to?"
29572Does she know, do you think?
29572Does your belt hurt?
29572Du Sang looked at him closely as he went on:"What kind of a way is this to treat anybody?
29572Du Sang, blinking, spoke first:"Which of you fellows is heading this round- up?"
29572Find my way back?"
29572Five strong- arm suckers?
29572For God''s sake, why did n''t_ one_ of them stay at the house?"
29572Give me a cigar-- haven''t got any?
29572Given up, have they?
29572God help me, how am I to answer a question like that?"
29572Great luck, was n''t it?
29572Had I better lead him down while you wait up on the hill in the shade?"
29572Have I been carrying Marion Sinclair''s pin for a month?"
29572Have I ever bothered you?
29572Have I?"
29572Have n''t I an agreeable part of the railroad business, do n''t you think?
29572Have n''t I any duty toward you, perhaps?
29572Have n''t you been treated right?"
29572Have they had feed or water?"
29572Have we got some of your cattle?"
29572Have you a cook?
29572Have you come to surrender yourself?"
29572Have you heard from Gordon Smith?"
29572Have you ordered up an engine?"
29572Have you plenty of water?"
29572He called twice to her before she turned, and her words almost stunned him:"Why did you not detain Sinclair here to- night?
29572He is a jay with a gun, and you may tell him I said so; do you hear?
29572He is so much older than I am that he ought to be the sensible one of the family, do n''t you think so?
29572Heard about the hold- up?
29572Here''s to the cup that we drain to the end, Even women have to be plucky, do n''t they, Marion?
29572How are they all?
29572How are you, dear?
29572How can I go to a man that I talked to as I talked to him in your house and ask for help?
29572How can I go to him after my cousin has threatened to kill him, and gone into court to prevent his coming on our land?
29572How can I know which it shall be?
29572How can I think?
29572How could Whispering Smith have allowed any one he had a care for to be exposed in this dreadful way?
29572How could he know that Marion was keeping nearly all the block supplied with funds?
29572How could we notify him without knowing where he was?
29572How dare you call me names?"
29572How did you get through at the ranch?"
29572How did you happen to come into the mountains?
29572How did you spend all your time between the ranch and the foothills?"
29572How do I know?
29572How do you feel?"
29572How do you suppose I should feel if you were killed?
29572How is that?"
29572How many men did you bring?"
29572How many would you take away, sir?"
29572How then, McCloud asked himself, could Marion be normally hard pressed for money?
29572How times have changed in railroading, have n''t they?
29572How_ can_ I go to him and ask for help now-- after Cousin Lance has gone into court about the line and everything?
29572I ca n''t understand it at all; but he_ is_ safe, is n''t he?
29572I carry an inspector''s card from the Mountain Stock Association-- do you want to see it?
29572I certainly should n''t eat this stuff if I were n''t, should you, Miss Dunning?
29572I leave first-- that''s understood, I hope-- and if your pink- eyed friend is waiting outside tell him there is nothing doing, will you, Murray?
29572I should like to think if anything should happen to me you would n''t forget her?"
29572I suppose I may light a cigarette, boys, before you turn loose the fireworks?"
29572I suppose it would be useless to ask where you have been to- day?"
29572I suppose one of you will give me a match?"
29572I suppose you''ll pay my expenses back?"
29572I think Mr. Lee handles trains shockingly every time George tries to get home like this on Saturday nights-- now do n''t you?
29572I think it was the fellow that shot so well with the rifle at the barbecue-- what was his name?
29572I think the other way into the camp-- say, around by the railroad bridge-- would be prettier, do n''t you?"
29572I think''Bucks''makes a dandy name for a town, do n''t you?
29572I''m not saying anything, am I?"
29572I''ve been afraid I could n''t stand it to be near you and not tell you----""What need you be afraid to tell me?"
29572If I can once get out of this accursed man- slaughtering business, Dicksie-- How old are you?
29572If I had a mountain girl that would do as much as that for me I would----""What would you do?"
29572If I had just a hundred more of''em the company could have my job-- what?"
29572If we go to him and ask him for help he will give it to us if he can; if he ca n''t, what harm is done?
29572If you ca n''t drop a man in the saddle at two hundred and fifty yards, what do you think you''d look like after a break with me?
29572If you could just find the basin and some water and a towel-- you could n''t find a brush, could you?
29572Illustration:"And whom may I say the message is from?"]
29572In her surprise she rose to her feet, and Marion spoke quickly:"Oh, Mr. McCloud, is it you?
29572In town, is he?
29572Is it burned up?"
29572Is it stomatitis, McCloud?
29572Is it the stomach?
29572Is n''t it a shame?
29572Is n''t it for me to see you safely to the house?
29572Is n''t it terrible?"
29572Is n''t it, Cherry?"
29572Is n''t that fine?
29572Is n''t that true?
29572Is n''t that true?
29572Is n''t your steak right?"
29572Is that English?"
29572Is that the way you put judgment on a man that''s got no friends left because they start a new lie on him every day?
29572Is the moon up?
29572Is there any man that wants to come over?"
29572Is this fine handwriting yours?
29572Is your heart pumping, George?
29572Is your name Smith?"
29572It has n''t fallen much, but the pressure seems to be off the bank, if you know what that means?"
29572It''s good to see him getting the recognition he deserves, is n''t it?
29572Kennedy, will you take the rear end of the bar?
29572Lance Dunning spoke with increasing harshness:"By whose order was that done?
29572Like lovely woman, it does not seek us, we seek it,"persisted the orator,"_ That_ at least is so, is n''t it?"
29572Look at me; ai n''t I handsome?
29572Marion, I want to talk a few minutes with you, may I?
29572Marion, are you keeping something from me?
29572May I fill your cup?"
29572May I have my meals here with you as I used to there?"
29572May n''t I offer you some sort of refreshment?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572Nice mules, McCloud, ai n''t they?
29572Nineteen?
29572No, you never heard that in this part of the country, did you?
29572No?
29572No?
29572No?
29572Not to let her go away with him on horseback, and not to leave her where she will be alone with him in the house?"
29572Now Bob and Gene Johnson were at Oroville when you left, were they, Bob?"
29572Now I ask you one fair question only: Did you need the money?"
29572Now do you think I am giving you confidence?"
29572Now tell me one thing-- what did you get for covering this trail?
29572Now tell me one thing-- will you give up the trail?"
29572Now then: Are you engaged?"
29572Now what are we going to do?
29572Now what have I ever done to you that you should turn a trick like this on me?
29572Now what have you got in for me?"
29572Now, Rockstro, do you still drag your left leg?"
29572Odd, is n''t it?
29572Oh, Miss Dunning, may I have some more coffee?
29572On his knee he turned to Whispering Smith, whom he seemed to know, with an abrupt question:"How far do you call it?"
29572Only, what shall it be?"
29572Or do n''t you think I have any feeling?"
29572Poor Baggs sold his life in six words:"Why, yes; be you Banks''s men?"
29572Really, have you the asthma?
29572Really?
29572Rebstock, do you think, if I wanted_ you_, I would send a message for you to come out and meet me?
29572Shall I let him in a minute?"
29572She rode on and on and on-- would it never end?
29572Should he draw and end it?
29572Should n''t I look beautiful asking help from him?"
29572Should you dare to go with her to Sinclair''s ranch if she decides to go to him?"
29572Should you mind coming right to my room?
29572Sinclair spoke harshly:"Do you think you can fool me?
29572Sinclair, will you go back to work?"
29572Sinclair?"
29572So we do seek it, do n''t we?
29572So you think I''m after you, do you?
29572Stormy Gorman?"
29572Suppose he could speak now, do n''t you think he would want you to do as I say?
29572Suppose he should object?"
29572Suppose you give me a chance to ride over the ground with you again and let us see whether we ca n''t arrive at some conclusion?"
29572Tell Cherry to come and take away the supper things, will you?
29572That does n''t look reasonable, does it?"
29572That makes you breathe hard, does n''t it?
29572That would be a pretty piece of business, would n''t it?
29572That''s what makes your eyes so bright, is it?
29572The albino is riding in the middle now, is n''t he?
29572The glass broke on the floor, and Marion exclaimed,"What is that?"
29572The question is, do you want to make the effort?"
29572The whole question is, who is going to run this division, Sinclair and his gang or the company?
29572There''s no papers out against me, is there?"
29572This is Whispering Smith, is n''t it?
29572This is what you call pretty fair water for this part of the valley, is n''t it?"
29572To ride into a valley like this and drive a man''s cows away from his door without notice or papers?
29572Try that piano, Miss Dicksie, will you?
29572Visiting friends or doing business?"
29572Want to go?"
29572Was Du Sang in the penitentiary with you at Fort City?
29572Was I right, was I wrong?
29572Was he being made fun of?
29572Was she pretty?
29572Was there a sound in the wind?
29572Was there much water last spring?
29572Water?
29572Water?"
29572We must wash his face and hands, do n''t you think so?
29572Well, do you think I ever could forget either of those men, Farrell?"
29572Well, if I were, what are you going to do about it?
29572Well, what shall I wear?"
29572Well, who are we waiting for?
29572Were you paid last night or this morning?"
29572Were you the conductor?"
29572What about the horses?"
29572What are you afraid of?
29572What are you going to do?"
29572What are you looking for?"
29572What are you thinking of?
29572What can I ask?
29572What can I say?
29572What can we do there, Rooney?"
29572What can you do?
29572What could he do if they should be able to secrete themselves until dark between him and Wickwire?
29572What did he look like?"
29572What do you mean?
29572What do you mean?"
29572What do you say?"
29572What do you think, all of you?"
29572What do you think?
29572What do you think?
29572What do you think?"
29572What do you want to go back to the penitentiary for?
29572What do you want?"
29572What do you want?"
29572What do you want?"
29572What do you want?"
29572What has happened?
29572What have I been thinking of?"
29572What have they been held at Point of Rocks for?
29572What have you got to kick about?
29572What is it you mean?"
29572What is it?"
29572What is the favor?"
29572What is this, are they back?
29572What man would get out a bunch of horses like this and work them this hard so early in the morning?
29572What might be your business?"
29572What should you think, Mr. Dunning, of putting all the teams you can at that end of the work?"
29572What show has a poor man got against all the money there is in the country?
29572What show would I have with a packed jury in Medicine Bend?
29572What sort of red- blood toxin does he throw into his gang to draw out a spirit like that?
29572What will your Cousin Lance say?
29572What you going to do about it?"
29572What''s that stuff they are hauling?"
29572What''s the use of my eating my heart out over the way I''ve been treated?
29572What''s the use?
29572What''s this, crying?
29572What''s this?
29572What?
29572What?
29572What?"
29572What?"
29572When I propose to put you into my car and pull you out of this, why do you say it is too late?
29572When you leave here tell Bob Scott to meet me at the Wickiup with the horses at eleven o''clock, will you?"
29572When?"
29572Where are the verses, Mr. Smith?
29572Where did I come from?
29572Where is Whispering Smith?"
29572Where is the baking powder?
29572Where is the trouble?"
29572Where is your appetite?
29572Where''s your cousin?
29572Which is the older?
29572Which shall it be?"
29572Which way did they go?"
29572Who are you, that you order me what to do, where to stay?
29572Who has a better right?"
29572Who is he?"
29572Who is it that''s watching me?
29572Who is that on the right?
29572Who is that, Farrell?"
29572Who is the albino, by the way?
29572Who''s going with us, Farrell?"
29572Why did n''t he fire again?"
29572Why did n''t they send the head of their own gang after me?''
29572Why did you not arrest him?"
29572Why did you not send me word?
29572Why do n''t you ask me what I thought the day you acted so beautifully at Crawling Stone Ranch?
29572Why do n''t you ask me whether I''m wet?
29572Why has n''t this line been repaired?"
29572Why not put him at the head of a party to run''em down?"
29572Why not travel a little?
29572Why not?
29572Why should n''t he write to my mother?
29572Why the devil should I arrest Sinclair?
29572Why was n''t I notified?
29572Why would you not do as I wanted you to?"
29572Why?"
29572Why?"
29572Will you advise them to go back to work-- all except Karg?"
29572Will you do me a favor?"
29572Will you get out of this town to- night?
29572Will you have a care for yourself, Gordon?"
29572Will you shake hands?"
29572Will you telephone the stables?"
29572Wo n''t you at least pretend I can act as an escort and let me go with you?
29572Would you believe it?
29572You are rich and generous, Dicksie; do something for him, will you?
29572You do n''t know him?
29572You do n''t understand?
29572You do n''t want to go down, do you?"
29572You have n''t heard, then?"
29572You heard me, did n''t you?"
29572You keep him out of Medicine Bend, Bob; will you do it?
29572You need fear nothing for yourself in going with her, and nothing for her if you can cover just those two points-- can you remember?
29572You shooting here?"
29572You think he ca n''t shoot?
29572You will ride to Medicine Bend to- night, will you?"
29572You wo n''t fight?
29572You wo n''t?
29572You''ll break with me, will you, Rebstock?
29572You''ll hear no more of this, and I''m going to ask you a question: Why did you go against this when you knew you''d have to square yourself with me?"
29572You,"he added, scrutinizing the third man to scare him to death--"I think you were at Tower W. No?
29572Your men do n''t wear silk dresses, do they?"
29572a year goes like an hour when you''re in love, does n''t it?
29572and, Marion,"he exclaimed, turning without releasing his wife from his arms,"how can I ever make good for all this delay?
29572he called to Dancing,"what water have you got?"
29572he called to Dancing,"what''s the matter with your wood?
29572now who''s this coming here on horseback?
29572or whether any consideration ought to come before that?
29572said he mildly,"what is loose?
29572why do n''t you move the table?"
44574A young girl?
44574After refusing contemptuously this eligible alliance, which united every condition of age and fortune and position, what did the fool do? 44574 Am I not her brother, and your best friend?"
44574Am I not your only relative? 44574 And do I not love you?"
44574And he does not know you?
44574And her abductor?
44574And how much will you pay for this mission?
44574And my friend and brother, are you aware what magnificent river runs at your own door? 44574 And my wretched persecutor-- you will bring him to me?"
44574And now that this is settled, you are in no hurry?
44574And now which way do we go?
44574And the captain did this?
44574And what did he say?
44574And what was the result?
44574And where will you land?
44574And who may he be?
44574And you go alone?
44574And you will pay for this capture?
44574And your grandfather?
44574Anything else?
44574Are you going to have the blues again?
44574Are you quite positive?
44574Are you sure of his identity?
44574Are you sure of what you say?
44574Are you tolerably strong, miss?
44574As you have heard our conversation,he said,"why do you try and oppose our free departure?"
44574But had you not better rest a while?
44574But if you do n''t find this beautiful country?
44574But may I ask with what object you took her away?
44574But that is our business?
44574But what can my father do in the matter?
44574But what has happened?
44574But when shall I see you again? 44574 But when?"
44574But, father,cried Diana,"what are we to do during your absence?
44574But,said Bright- eye, with considerable hesitation,"supposing there was treachery?"
44574By the way, have you said anything to her?
44574Can I come in?
44574Can a man find no free land on earth?
44574Can it be possible?
44574Did he say nothing?
44574Did you find the deerskin I left behind?
44574Do n''t you know they swarm about here? 44574 Do n''t you know?"
44574Do we go directly?
44574Do you know my brother Joshua?
44574Do you know where he is?
44574Do you then mean to make some stay in the valley?
44574Do you think the redskins are blind? 44574 Do you think,"he whispered,"I ever meant to desert my niece?"
44574Do you want to lend me any?
44574Do you?
44574Does it displease you, mistress?
44574For what purpose?
44574Gentlemen,he cried, standing resolutely before them,"what is the meaning of this visit in my absence?"
44574Handsome beast, is it not?
44574Harry, have you obeyed my orders?
44574Have I kept my promise?
44574Have I not told you? 44574 Have my orders been executed?"
44574Have these squatters much cultivated land?
44574Have you had good hunting lately?
44574Have you much money?
44574Have you received any letters signed''_ An old friend_''?
44574Have you seen this beautiful country?
44574How could I help it? 44574 How do you know, sir?"
44574How do you mean to travel?
44574How is that?
44574How many?
44574How so?
44574How so?
44574How so?
44574How so?
44574How will you set about it?
44574I am not generous?
44574I dare say we should be more at our ease-- eh, captain?
44574I did not think of that,granted the squatter;"well, then, on the other side, what neighbours have we?"
44574I suppose I need not introduce you to yonder tall young fellow?
44574I suppose he described the situation of the valley-- its distance from all habitations?
44574I thought,exclaimed Samuel,"he was as mad as ever; will you explain the object of this journey or exploration?"
44574If not hunting, what were you doing?
44574In the name of heaven, is it you who speak in that way, chief?
44574In time to do what?
44574In what way?
44574Is he happy?
44574Is it not so? 44574 Is not France our mother, and do we not always forgive our mother?
44574Is not my whole life passed,continued the outlaw, sadly,"in outdoing others in cunning and diplomacy?"
44574Is the valley so beautiful as you say?
44574Laugh away, you young rascal,said the squatter;"but if we have to leave our bones here?"
44574Let me ask you where are you going?
44574Many years ago?
44574May I ask the name of my countryman?
44574May I ask who put this silly idea in your head?
44574May I without offence ask you this question: Were you not very well where you were? 44574 May I, without offence, ask what that is?"
44574Miserable wretch,asked the wounded man,"are you a traitor?"
44574Modified in what way?
44574My dear relations,said Lagrenay, in an insinuating voice,"will you honour me by accepting refreshments?"
44574My sister abducted?
44574My son, I thank you,said Joshua;"what do I not owe to you?
44574Need I say that from the first moment I saw her I loved your niece? 44574 Not far off, are we, Charbonneau?
44574Now are you disposed to be the man?
44574Now that we know one another as countrymen, suppose we make more intimate acquaintance?
44574Of course you did not refuse?
44574Of course; and now may I ask, what have you done with your magnificent southern property?
44574Of her own accord?
44574Oh, yes,she cried,"I have indeed been very unhappy; how, in fact, could I be otherwise?"
44574On foot, on horseback, or do we swim?
44574One question first-- Are you prepared as a dweller in the desert to submit to its habits and customs?
44574Pretty fair; and what was your game?
44574Quite right,coolly replied Joshua;"and now about this important business?"
44574Quite so, Sleepy; but I want to know why the captain, who must have heard our signal, is still quiet?
44574Quite true,said the old man;"what is to be done?"
44574Really, sir,said the captain,"and have you come all this way to tell me this piece of news?"
44574Sandy, is that you? 44574 Shall I introduce you to him?"
44574Sirs,said Louis to the Americans,"you are the new squatters established in the Moose Deer Valley?"
44574Still, do you consent? 44574 That is always the first thing to be thought of,"said Pierre Durand;"and now what is the nature of the restitution?"
44574The conditions?
44574Then Evening Dew owned her love to Bright- eye?
44574Then I am not mistaken?
44574Then I can wholly depend on you?
44574Then all I have to do is to go?
44574Then allow me to observe,said George Clinton, drily,"why are we here?"
44574Then he has told you all about this country?
44574Then it appears you are not quite satisfied?
44574Then of course you are French?
44574Then something can rouse you?
44574Then what do you mean?
44574Then why sulk with your friend?
44574Then you are quite determined?
44574Then you are very unhappy here?
44574Then you give up the idea of your journey?
44574Then you have come from New York together?
44574Then you have no passion for gold?
44574Then,said Joshua, presently,"there is some truth in the story of the gold treasure in the valley?"
44574Then,said Samuel, gazing at him with perfect amazement in his looks,"you are determined?"
44574To what purpose, in a country where nobody knows me?
44574To you, the chief of the outlaws?
44574Too true; and what nations are they?
44574We know that-- what then?
44574Well, considering that I have owned I was a brute,growled Bright- eye,"are you not satisfied?"
44574Well, how can I say?
44574Well, sir?
44574Well, then, how was it that the moment you saw me you addressed me in French?
44574Well, then, we are agreed on four hundred thousand francs( £ 16,000)? 44574 Well, what then?"
44574Well, what then?
44574Well,coolly observed Joshua,"what may be the meaning of all this?"
44574Were you hunting?
44574Were you unable to sell your produce?
44574What about the detachments?
44574What are your conditions?
44574What book is more interesting than that in which God has written on the plains, on the mountains, on the minutest blade of grass?
44574What can you mean? 44574 What do you mean, gentlemen?"
44574What do you mean, sir?
44574What do you mean?
44574What do you mean?
44574What do you mean?
44574What do you think of the information?
44574What do you think of those animals?
44574What do you want?
44574What does it mean?
44574What does my brother Bright- eye mean?
44574What does that prove?
44574What does the man say?
44574What is it, my friend?
44574What is that?
44574What is the matter?
44574What is the meaning of this?
44574What is the use of holding out any longer? 44574 What is the use,"she said, smiling,"asking for reasons which do not exist?
44574What is to be done?
44574What languages do you speak?
44574What matter, major? 44574 What matter?"
44574What matters about fatigue, sir? 44574 What on earth can Pierre mean,"muttered Oliver to himself,"by my doing nothing until we meet again?
44574What rivalry?
44574What says the chief?
44574What to do?
44574What treasure? 44574 What, then, do you call yourself?"
44574When do you intend trying this man who is dangerously wounded and nearly insensible?
44574When, my friend, do you propose to start?
44574Where is he now?
44574Where is he?
44574Where is she then, father?
44574Where on earth could he be going to?
44574Which means?
44574Who does not know Master Stoneweld, of the house of Stoneweld, Errard, and Co., the richest shipowner in all Boston?
44574Who else do you suppose it is?
44574Who has dared?
44574Who is this man?
44574Who knows? 44574 Who knows?
44574Who may Charbonneau be?
44574Whom did you send out to inquire?
44574Why at first?
44574Why did Numank- Charake show such want of confidence in his brother?
44574Why do you ask me this question?
44574Why not go over to the island?
44574Why not go with me?
44574Why not stay with me? 44574 Why not?"
44574Why should I exaggerate, old hunter? 44574 Why so?"
44574Why stop here?
44574Why, instead of leaving me to die in the prairie, was I brought here?
44574Why?
44574Why?
44574Will he be there?
44574Will you answer me?
44574Will you be my friend?
44574Will you explain this outrage?
44574Will you not empty a cup of whisky?
44574Will you take no advice?
44574Will you tell me why?
44574Will you tell me why?
44574With empty pockets?
44574You are indeed a sinister messenger, chief,said the old man, bitterly;"whence do you get this news?"
44574You are not angry with me?
44574You are not going?
44574You are quite right-- some more rum in your coffee? 44574 You are, I believe, well acquainted with me?"
44574You assisted him?
44574You bear me no malice?
44574You declare this man unknown to you?
44574You do n''t know me?
44574You do not mean to say so?
44574You exact no ransom whatever?
44574You had a definite object, I suppose?
44574You know you are welcome to act; still, why look for me?
44574You raise the camp for so small a journey?
44574You remember our conversation at Brest?
44574You will establish yourself in Boston?
44574A night journey like this?"
44574Am I not your slave for life?''
44574And how many are here?"
44574Anything else?"
44574Are there any about?"
44574Are we far from your hut?"
44574Are we not devoted to you body and soul?"
44574Are you asleep, Camotte?"
44574Are you satisfied?"
44574As we have gone so far in the desert, what matters fifty leagues more or less?
44574Besides, I have known you a very long time, have n''t I?
44574But how did you know of my brother''s coming out here?"
44574But mark my word, you may live five, perhaps ten years with the Indians; but at last you will weary of this existence-- what will you do then?"
44574But what could I do?
44574But what have I to do with it?"
44574But what is the affair that detains you here, to which you just alluded?"
44574But what is your precise motive?"
44574But when he is in one of his mad fits, why do you not interfere?"
44574But why are you so late?"
44574But, as far as I am concerned, I am afraid--""Of what are you afraid, my son?"
44574But, then, how can we carry him?"
44574By the way, I may as well ask you, are you very tired?"
44574By what title?"
44574Did I keep my promise?"
44574Did we go openly to him?
44574Did you not find the land excellent?"
44574Do you accept?"
44574Do you give this man up to us, yes or no?"
44574Do you know, Master George, dogs never make a mistake?"
44574Do you love me?''
44574Do you or do you not intend to be bound by it?"
44574Do you recollect François Magnaud, Paul Sambrun, and Pedro Lopez?"
44574Do you remember Louis Querehard?
44574Do you ride?"
44574Do you think I would cheat you?"
44574Do you think to cheat an old opossum like me?
44574Do you think to keep me in ignorance of your motive in coming this way?"
44574Do you understand such folly on his part?"
44574Does not Numank- Charake find his hut very solitary during the long winter nights, when the wind howls in the forest and the snow covers the earth?''
44574Does this bird sing in your heart?''
44574George Clinton, is it not so?"
44574Have I done anything to offend?"
44574Have I well said?"
44574Having settled that very important fact, any news on the island?"
44574He is very much in your way?"
44574Here I am, my friend-- what am I to do?"
44574Here is a noble, young, rich, brave--""But,"cried Joshua,"what has that to do with it?"
44574How did you discover it?"
44574How is the king?"
44574How is your father?"
44574I know who is the woman whom my brother loves, but why let me guess all about it, instead of telling me?
44574I presume, then, that you are that friend; but why not avow yourself?"
44574I ran and found--""A bear?"
44574I shall let him know of your coming; but why?"
44574I suppose you have not come three miles in the dew to kiss your old uncle?"
44574I will mount his horse; you can hand him up to me; I will then carry him in my arms to the wigwam-- what say you?"
44574I''m your man,"cried Pierre, laughing;"what do you think of me?"
44574In the first place, by what right have you squatted in that place?"
44574Is anything broken?"
44574Is it not horrible?
44574Is it true?"
44574Let us forget the past,"said the old man;"what can we do for you?"
44574May I ask its nature?"
44574May I ask what they are?"
44574May I therefore be allowed to speak a few words?"
44574Now then,"he added, laughing,"are you not fortunate?"
44574Now, fellow,"to the man Camotte,"will you confess?"
44574Once more, are you not satisfied?"
44574One fine morning, without saying a word to anybody, he left his business to a partner, and started off, sir-- what for?"
44574Samuel?"
44574Sport is only good morning and evening, is it not?"
44574Still, things looked ugly for me-- but what is the use of a battle in which half of us would be massacred?
44574Talk business now?
44574Then all we have to do is to catch him?"
44574Then you are very anxious to secure him?"
44574Were you looking for me?"
44574What about the river?"
44574What absence?"
44574What could put it into the mad head of my brother to bring us here?
44574What do you intend to do?"
44574What do you think I have been doing since I saw you?"
44574What do you think?"
44574What matters it to me, I ask, whether you call yourself Hebrard, Count de Mas d''Azyr, Philippe de Salnam, Jean Lerou, or take any other alias?"
44574What more is wanted?"
44574What shall I do when he is gone?
44574What will you do for books now?"
44574What would have become of me, fainting in the desert?"
44574When do you expect to catch him?"
44574Where is the young girl?"
44574Where shall we breakfast?"
44574Who can resist anyone so obstinate as you are, my friend?"
44574Who cares?
44574Who will support my miserable existence?
44574Whom else could I trust?
44574Why can we not put off our business arrangements until tomorrow?"
44574Why did you stop when I whistled?"
44574Why should they come here?"
44574Will my pale friends sleep or listen to the voice of a friend?"
44574Will you allow me to give you sincere advice?"
44574Will you answer me?"
44574Will you come and see it?"
44574Will you consent?
44574Will you follow me, sir, first?"
44574Will you remain a Frenchwoman and follow me, or will you stay here and become an Englishwoman?''"
44574Will you return to the house?"
44574With these two books and the magnificent spectacle of Nature around me have I not a whole library?"
44574You can not carry the deer-- shall I hang it up in safety until you send for it?"
44574You claim it, then?"
44574You have had Major Ardenwood''s letter asking an interview today?
44574You have, then, heard of him?"
44574You still intend going off tonight?"
44574You will not refuse this?"
44574You will wait for me, Onoura?''
44574You wo n''t come to my house?
44574Your health, sir,"addressing Oliver;"is it long since you left France?"
44574cried Joshua,"Is that you, my brother?"
44574cried Keen- hand;"Was I not right?"
44574cried Pierre Durand;"Will you tell me a reason?"
44574cried Versenca, boldly;"Do we not follow wherever you go?
44574cried the American;"Am I mad?"
44574cried the husband;"What are you dreaming about?
44574cried the other;"Really now, have you already forgotten poor Camotte?"
44574cried the young man,"Is that really you?"
44574exclaimed Charbonneau, stretching out his arm towards the river,"What is going on?"
44574exclaimed Sleepy, shrugging his shoulders;"Why, is not this wigwam very rich, and the owner absent?
44574he asked;"Is hospitality a mere trick?"
44574he cried,"On the face of the earth?
44574he cried;"Do you intend to torture this man, whose life hangs on a thread?"
44574murmured Oliver, sadly;"Is he one of those enemies who pursue me everywhere?"
44574observed the captain, suspiciously,"Is there anything fresh in the air?"
44574she cried, clasping her hands together, while the pearly tears went down her cheeks;"Is it possible?"
50939A breed kid who stutters?
50939A preacher?
50939A what?
50939About what?
50939And how is that?
50939And take up a collection?
50939And they have already left?
50939And what''ll the trouble- man be wanting?
50939And ye''ve come to sober me up for the night shift, eh, laddy- buck? 50939 Are n''t you going to tell me what nefarious connivance I''m a party to?"
50939By letting her testify in behalf of her husband''s murderer?
50939Can you take me there? 50939 Can you tell me where the blame lies?"
50939Charged with what?
50939Charges? 50939 Did any of the buckshot hit the horses?"
50939Did you ask the man at the livery about the horse?
50939Did you have to come straight here? 50939 Did you hear about Willie?
50939Do n''t ye know I''ve been working all night?
50939Do n''t you always have your way, Persia?
50939Do n''t you see what he''s trying to do?
50939Does Vickers know the boiler''s arrived?
50939Does it work as well?
50939Duke Parker was trying to blackjack himself back into control, was n''t he, Mr. Jay? 50939 For instance?"
50939Has it occurred to you that the saloons and gambling tables are hurting them?
50939He and the Parker girl are in together, are n''t they?
50939He left the job?
50939He said that? 50939 He wants to buy your contract?"
50939Here?
50939Hit who?
50939How about a game of three- handed euchre?
50939How about the gambling?
50939How about the house buying a couple, cowboy?
50939How about tomorrow?
50939How can I be sure? 50939 How come you''re running her errands?"
50939How do I know? 50939 How do I know?
50939How do you feel, Ben?
50939How do you figure to prove this drug charge?
50939How do you tell that?
50939How do you tell which are crooked?
50939How long ago did he leave?
50939How would I know?
50939How you getting along with Madrid?
50939How''s that hotel in town?
50939I interrupt something?
50939I''ll see you tomorrow?
50939Is Pinky Bronklin on the council?
50939Is n''t that true?
50939Is that boiler on the way now?
50939Is there anything anyone can do?
50939It helps?
50939It would? 50939 Jack Tesno?
50939Jack,Persia said in a strange voice,"what are you trying to do to me?"
50939Jackson, Dockeray, Smith, Jay, Lewis, Mann, Parce, Oliver...."Who''s permanent?
50939Jay? 50939 Jay?"
50939Lad, why do you think I signed on with Ben Vickers?... 50939 Law?"
50939Madrid did?
50939Madrid hire you?
50939Madrid? 50939 Me?"
50939Mr. Bronklin? 50939 Mr. Jay, shall I tell her how you got your first contract-- how you took over when the contractor went over a cliff?
50939Mrs. Parker, would you call a meeting of the council and tell them what I want?
50939Must I remind you that you are the principal owner of the Pink Lady? 50939 Not interested?"
50939Now do I get it or not?
50939Now who ever heard of such a thing? 50939 Oh?"
50939One of them circled back to the road?
50939Pete, what in tunket is this all about?
50939Quitting while you''re ahead?
50939Sam, how are they going to get rid of him?
50939Sam, is anything wrong?
50939Sent me? 50939 Somebody''s guarding it?"
50939Stella said that?
50939T- tame? 50939 That whisky- head engineer?
50939The boiler is n''t damaged?
50939The old Empire Builder himself?
50939Then why would he hire me?
50939They''re at the cabin,_ tenas house_, now?
50939This road go any place else?
50939This your place?
50939Town ordinance?
50939Vickers''doctor?
50939Warren? 50939 Was Duke Parker killed by a bullet, Sam?
50939Was Mr. Jay there?
50939Was Persia at the meeting?
50939Was he murdered? 50939 Wh- what k- kind of a job you think she might give me?"
50939Wh- why? 50939 What about Pinky?"
50939What are the handcuffs for?
50939What are you doing here?
50939What cost you that much time?
50939What did he say?
50939What did that crackpot want?
50939What did you hear?
50939What do you mean by that?
50939What do you mean?
50939What for? 50939 What happened to Duke, Ben?"
50939What if I am?
50939What the devil does he think he''s doing?
50939What the hell are you trying to pull?
50939What the hell?
50939What we g- g- going to do?
50939What will happen to Willie?
50939What you going to do tonight?
50939What''s funny?
50939What''s that to me?
50939What''s the matter with a little style?
50939When are you going to do something about the town, Jack?
50939When did you get too persnickety to sleep in a bunkhouse?
50939Where d- did the m- marshal go?
50939Where did the other one go?
50939Where have you been?
50939Where''s Eddie?
50939Where''s Madrid?
50939Where''s Madrid?
50939Where''s Palma?
50939Where?
50939Which table was this?
50939Who in hell do you think you are?
50939Who really calls the tune, Willie? 50939 Who sent you?"
50939Who''s b- bluffing?
50939Who''s on the th- third floor?
50939Who, Charlie?
50939Why not? 50939 Why tell me?"
50939Why waste the time of this court?
50939Why? 50939 Will Hobson talk?"
50939Willie off duty?
50939Willie was your cousin?
50939Would you like a letter of recommendation?
50939You an Injun?
50939You find trail?
50939You get a look at''em, Charlie?
50939You got dollar?
50939You got whisky?
50939You here, Boss?
50939You know Ben''s superintendant, Keef O''Hara? 50939 You know I work for Ben Vickers?"
50939You know him?
50939You know that Persia is the principal owner of the Pink Lady?
50939You know what c- co- operation means? 50939 You know''em?"
50939You looked it over?
50939You really pulled this off, kid?
50939You sure he''ll come in?
50939You t- taking a bath or s- something?
50939You tangled with him before?
50939You think they did this just to delay the news?
50939You want a drink?
50939You want me to s- stable your horse for you? 50939 You want something?"
50939You working from both ends toward the middle?
50939You''ll be-- all right?
50939You''ll not go?
50939You''re Injun?
50939You''re_ what_?
50939You?
50939You_ heard_ them?
50939Your name Warren?
50939_ Two_ men?
50939A stake that would buy and stock a ranch?
50939Alone and without ammunition?
50939And I am nothing at all._ There was still the ranch he had dreamed of for so long-- or was there?
50939And what did they do to us here amidst the wildest mountains in the land?
50939And why?
50939Anything else?"
50939Are n''t you ever satisfied?"
50939Are n''t you going after him?"
50939But could she have known earlier-- before the picnic?
50939But what else was she?
50939But why did you kill Duke Parker?
50939Could Palma plan to take another crack at the boiler?
50939Could we-- I suppose it is n''t a good idea, but could n''t we pack a lunch and have a picnic?
50939Did he say what he wanted?"
50939Did n''t the crowd understand that?
50939Did you meet Villie?
50939Do n''t you agree, Persia?"
50939Do n''t you know he''ll be watching you?"
50939Do you understand that?"
50939Go back with you or skidoo?"
50939Got anything to do for an hour?"
50939He grinned shakily and said,"What''s my move, Pete?
50939Hell, you headed for Tunneltown?"
50939Hobson too?"
50939How about that partner of yours who fell off a trestle in Idaho?...
50939How bad are you hurt?"
50939How could you swear it was Palma?"
50939How many other associates of yours died suddenly and without witnesses, Mr. Jay?
50939How much do you need?"
50939If one of the prisoners had a hidden gun, he''d take it away with him, would n''t he?"
50939Is he here?"
50939Is he so fierce?
50939Is that it?"
50939Is the news good or bad?"
50939Is there a plan to kill Willie?"
50939Jay?"
50939Jay?"
50939Jay?"
50939Last night he....""If you made a mistake why do n''t you correct it?"
50939Madrid glared and said,"Do you understand that?
50939Money?
50939Mr. Tesno, c- could I have a t- talk with you?"
50939Mr. Tesno, now that you''ve told us what you want, would you mind leaving us and letting us thrash this out?"
50939Or would it be Sam Lester who was doing the telling?
50939Right now?"
50939Sam or Persia?
50939Satisfied?"
50939Sent me where?"
50939She said,"For you then?
50939Stella, have you a crush on Willie?
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939Tesno?"
50939That from you?"
50939That means that Sam Lester is involved, not Persia._ But why Sam?
50939Then she said,"Sam, if we went away from here, where would we go?"
50939Was a log skidded over him to conceal the wound?"
50939Was it a rough trip?"
50939Was it really an accomplishment to bring the thing called civilization to Puget Sound?
50939What did he have to gain by wrecking Ben Vickers''boiler?
50939What did you say your name was, mister?"
50939What does Stella say about it?"
50939What had he been seeking all these years?
50939What makes you think you''ll get them to listen?"
50939What successful contractor was n''t?
50939What will it be now for you, Jack?
50939When did you start?"
50939When we gon na eat?"
50939Where in the black damnation were you when those rascals surprised us, anyhow?"
50939Where in the merry hell have you been?"
50939Who would it be?"
50939Who''s paying you?"
50939Why ca n''t we be like-- well, you and me, for instance?"
50939Will you join me for dinner afterward?
50939Will you step into the marshal''s office and tell me everything you know?"
50939Will you warn him of the consequences?"
50939Yet he hid it, denied it, and as men gathered round he said roughly,"Anybody know him?"
50939You catch other one?"
50939You ever seen her?"
50939You finally going to get to that ranch?"
50939You got all that?"
50939You got that crazy Willie out of the way?"
50939You got whisky?"
50939You here to boss Tunneltown?"
50939You overtake Madrid?"
50939You pay now?"
50939You th- think he''ll f- fire me?"
50939_ Nika till._ You got whisky?"
50939_ Why?_ He said,"See you tomorrow,"and pushed on into the saloon.
42834''What are you doing there?'' 42834 A bargain?"
42834A friend? 42834 A wager?"
42834Ah, ah, what is it?
42834Ah, ah,the general said, in a hissing but suppressed voice,"it was to you, then, that I owe my recall?"
42834Ah, is it you, colonel?
42834All equally true?
42834An important communication to make to me?
42834And he insisted?
42834And if I had that order, madam, all your scruples would be removed?
42834And now do you want anything else, pray?
42834And now for another matter,he said;"how many lads have you to help you?"
42834And now what do you want of us?
42834And so am I; and now, señor, do you consider that you have lost your time in listening to me?
42834And supposing that was my intention, señor?
42834And we, señor?
42834And what will you bet, excellency?
42834And you will act as I recommend?
42834And you?
42834And,Don Martial asked in a choking voice,"have you found this confessor?"
42834Are they not?
42834Are we going far?
42834Are we priests then to practise forgetfulness of insults?
42834Are you looking for our mother, sister?
42834Are you still resolved to attempt the adventure?
42834Are you sure, general, perfectly certain as to the statement you have just made to me?
42834Are you there, my dear Don Martial?
42834At this hour?
42834At what time are you to take this confessor to the convent?
42834Belhumeur?
42834Besides,the capataz continued,"do you forget who recommended you to me?"
42834Better still; then, you see no inconvenience in sending of them into the Cuidad; of course on the understanding that he is well paid for the trip?
42834But about horses?
42834But how did you learn all these details?
42834But suppose you were to be sent for, through the general happening to want you suddenly?
42834But where?
42834But who are you, in the demon''s name?
42834But your friends--?
42834Can I be of any service to you?
42834Can anyone have requested your services against me, Señor Zaragate?
42834Can it possibly be you,the first speaker continued,"Señor Colonel Don Jaime Lupo?"
42834Change my dress?
42834Did I not let you know that I should come?
42834Did I not tell you I should call on him?
42834Did I not tell you that, for twenty years, I have been travelling over every part of America?
42834Did this man surrender?
42834Did this worthy gentleman tell you his name, my dear colonel?
42834Did you not know that?
42834Did you not tell me that this man had an implacable will which nothing could resist?
42834Did you not tell me there was a grotto close by?
42834Did you obtain such a paper?
42834Do you believe that?
42834Do you come from him?
42834Do you know anything?
42834Do you know by what Indians these mountains are inhabited?
42834Do you know the contents of this letter?
42834Do you know to what nation the sign you discovered belongs?
42834Do you know what happened in the cavern after your fall down the precipice?
42834Do you now believe that he will be surprised?
42834Do you refuse, Valentine?
42834Do you think so?
42834Do you think so?
42834Do you think so?
42834Do you want to see him?
42834Do you wish to succeed?
42834Does that displease you?
42834Don Sebastian is a relation of Doña Anita?
42834Eh?
42834Excellent; and have you many of that sort under your hand?
42834Glad of what, my dear Antonio?
42834Good: are we far from a spot called the''Fort of the Chichimèques?''
42834Have I not Curumilla to attend to my hurt? 42834 Have you an inclination for one direction more than another?"
42834Have you anything more to add?
42834Have you learnt any important news since our last interview?
42834Have you not worn this dress before?
42834Have you really done that, my good mother?
42834He, and so well disguised?
42834Here, diablo; whereabouts?
42834Here?
42834How came it that, in spite of this terrible revelations, you ventured to show yourself at the theatre?
42834How did the general receive his relation?
42834How do you know it?
42834How long have you been roaming about this neighbourhood?
42834How so?
42834Hum,he said,"the Indians are very clever, mi amo; and who knows what diabolical projects those redskins revolve in their minds?
42834Hum,said the general, shaking his head thoughtfully,"is he a gentleman?"
42834I beg your pardon, general,the Frenchman said, with imperturbable coolness,"but I believe that you intend to summon some of your people?"
42834I believe so,the capataz answered with a smile;"and pray, what do you think, Don Martial?"
42834I can give it you, daughter; and now what message have you for me?
42834I did say so, I allow; but is that a reason for giving up the struggle? 42834 I fancy this is not the first time such a thing has occurred, eh?"
42834I forgive you, my poor child,the abbess answered;"who could blame you?"
42834I have pistols in my pocket, so I will dismiss my carriage, and we will walk home to my house; does that suit you, my dear colonel?
42834I heartily accept the offer; but why do you not come with us to Mexico?
42834I know that; but suppose we are killed?
42834I see----"What do you see?
42834I should feel greatly obliged; but by whom?
42834I suppose you think me mad?
42834I will give you twenty- five ounces for every slit it receives; is that enough?
42834Impossible?
42834In that case you are well acquainted, I presume, with the mountains among which we are at this moment?
42834Is it a formidable nation?
42834Is it an act of vengeance or justice you are about to carry out?
42834Is it not? 42834 Is that all, Carnero?"
42834Is that really all?
42834Is that settled? 42834 Is that the prudence you promised me?"
42834Listen,he said to the capataz, as he laid his hand on his arm to attract his attention,"do you not hear something?"
42834Look here,he said,"we are literally dying of hunger, patron; could you not serve us up a morsel of something?
42834May I venture to offer you any refreshments?
42834My coachman? 42834 My dear child,"the Abbess said gently,"God is great, his power is infinite; hence, why despair?
42834Myself, general,he replied, with an almost imperceptible smile and a profound bow;"did you not expect a visit from me?"
42834No inconvenience at all, excellency; what is the business?
42834No matter who I am,the stranger answered sharply;"are you a landlord-- yes or no?"
42834No suspicion?
42834Nonsense,he replied, with a disdainful toss of his head,"you kill me?
42834Not knowing whether you had sufficient funds at your disposal-- and you will agree with me that you will require a large sum----?
42834Oh, indeed, and for what reason, may I ask?
42834Oh, oh, excellency, what is that you are saying?
42834Oh, oh,the Tigrero exclaimed, turning pale,"what does this mean?"
42834Oh, that is different; what do you want? 42834 On your honour?"
42834One moment,he said to him;"you know Don Valentine, the French hunter, for whom I so long cherished an insensate hatred?"
42834One word more; have you cleverly deceived him, and do you think that he really intends to be useful to us?
42834Ought I to let even indifferent persons see the anxiety that devoured me? 42834 Our business?"
42834Pardon me, excellency; but may I ask where we are going?
42834Pray, what do you find so agreeable in what has happened that you are or affect to be so merry, Ño Carnero?
42834Shall we charge?
42834So, then,Don Martial exclaimed,"she has regained her reason?"
42834Some plot, I presume?
42834Thank you; what next?
42834That is true, and I suppose the shoe pinches you, eh?
42834That is true; but how did you come across this scoundrel, colonel?
42834That is what I am going to do; by- the- bye, have you seen Don Valentine since you arrived?
42834The capilla?
42834Then that is agreed?
42834Then you will be present at the meeting?
42834Then,she exclaimed,"his excellency deigns to grant my request?"
42834To the convent?
42834Very good, and I presume you have arranged a place to meet him?
42834Very good; when shall I start, general?
42834Very nearly so, I fancy; what shall we do with him?
42834We have ten tenientes, each of whom is to receive thirty- five ounces, I believe?
42834Well, and I presume you plundered the caravan, and carried off the gold and silver?
42834Well, do you know his name, at least?
42834Well, my friend,the stranger asked him,"did you find the person to whom I sent you?"
42834Well, scoundrel, are you aware that yours is a singular trade?
42834Well, we will be off; have you weapons about you?
42834Well, what then?
42834Well?
42834Well?
42834What do these men want with me?
42834What do you desire, daughter?
42834What do you desire, señores?
42834What do you mean, my dear Helena? 42834 What do you mean?
42834What do you mean?
42834What do you mean?
42834What do you mean?
42834What do you mean?
42834What do you mean?
42834What do you want with me, bandits?
42834What do you want with me?
42834What do you want?
42834What do you wish for, excellency?
42834What does that concern you? 42834 What exception?"
42834What for? 42834 What good will it do?"
42834What is it? 42834 What is it?"
42834What is that name?
42834What is the thing I am ignorant of?
42834What is the word? 42834 What is this?"
42834What is this?
42834What matter?
42834What more can you have to tell me?
42834What must I say, though, to the young lady''s guardian? 42834 What priest would be so unnatural as to bless this sacrilegious marriage?"
42834What would you require, madam,he continued,"in order to consent to give up this unhappy young lady to me?"
42834What''s that?
42834What, already?
42834What, excellency, do you not recognize the Zaragate?
42834What?
42834What?
42834What?
42834When shall I see you, again?
42834When then, pray?
42834Where are we going?
42834Where is Don Valentine?
42834Where must I take the señorita?
42834Where?
42834Who am I, madam? 42834 Who are you, señor?"
42834Who can the man be, and what is the important matter he has to tell me?
42834Who else have you brought with you, Don Antonio?
42834Who knows? 42834 Who knows?"
42834Who then?
42834Whom are you alluding to?
42834Why not, excellency?
42834Why not? 42834 Why so?
42834Why so?
42834Why stand half hidden by that door?
42834Will you not say good- bye to the ladies?
42834With you? 42834 Would it be indiscreet to ask you----""Where?"
42834Would you be angry with me had I done so?
42834You are sure of it?
42834You hate him too then, since you do not fear to speak to me as you are doing?
42834You have it?
42834You have not told me all, colonel?
42834You pardon me unreservedly?
42834You will not be angry with me?
42834You will tell me?'' 42834 You would have no further difficulty in allowing Doña Anita to depart?"
42834You would not wish to insult me by refusing to hobnob with me?
42834You?
42834You?
42834Your country house is not far from the city?
42834¿ Quién vive?
42834A lodging, eh?
42834And did you enter the grotto, Master Carnero?"
42834And in whose name did you take the house?"
42834Are we any great distance from this terrace?"
42834Are you all three satisfied, gentlemen?
42834Are you fatigued?"
42834Are you ready to hear it?"
42834At length one of the officers rose, and, after rapping his glass on the table several times to attract attention, he asked--"Is Don Sirven here?"
42834At what hour do you expect your visitors?"
42834But what are they?"
42834But will not your coachman be surprised at seeing a Franciscan emerge from the carriage into which he showed a caballero?"
42834Can you ever forgive me the sufferings I have caused you?"
42834Can you tell it me?"
42834Did you not receive a visit yesterday from Don Serapio de la Ronda?"
42834Do you know Don Antonio''s address?"
42834Do you know the place I mean?"
42834Do you now believe that we are in safety?"
42834Do you suppose him invulnerable?"
42834Does that suit you?"
42834Does that suit you?"
42834Does the bargain suit you with those conditions?"
42834Does the letter to which you refer interest me?"
42834Does this part displease you?"
42834Don Martial replied,"are we going to drive?"
42834Don Sebastian exclaimed,"I can hardly think that you have committed sacrilege?"
42834Don Sebastian said with a grin of rage;"I am not to die; and why not, pray?"
42834Don Valentine, do you forgive me?"
42834Don Valentine, you have doubtless brought some of your friends with you?"
42834Doña Helena, however, retired pensively to her cell; the maiden was dreaming-- of what?
42834Had a suspicion been aroused in the Mexican''s mind?
42834Had he noticed the departure and return of the chief?
42834Have you a garrison?"
42834I believe that you entered my house in order to propose a bargain to me, Don Valentine?
42834I had still an experiment to make with Negro-- could he swim?
42834I made no retort, although somewhat vexed at this answer, and confined myself to asking him at what hour he expected to reach the port?
42834I presume you are alluding to that?"
42834I presume you will not require both those lads to wait on your friends tonight?"
42834I think you said, excellency, that I was a lucky man?"
42834I told you, I think, that on her arrival in Mexico, Doña Anita was taken by Don Sebastian to the Convent of the Bernardines?"
42834I trust that you have heard and understood me, my friend?"
42834I will pay an ounce for each hour; will that suit you?"
42834If I am correctly informed, Señor Don Sebastian, you have a ward of the name of Doña Anita de Torrés?"
42834In a word, then, what is it we want?
42834In the first place, what is the religion professed in Spanish America?
42834Is it nothing to have near you hearts that pity you, and voices that incessantly urge you to have courage?"
42834Is it right or wrong to act in this way?
42834Is my father Curumilla satisfied with his red children?"
42834Is she really dead, as the report spread alleged?"
42834Is such the case, madam?"
42834Is there no hope left in your heart?"
42834It is understood that you do not know who I am?"
42834Nothing was heard but angry curses and panting, but not a word or cry, for what is the use of insulting when you can kill?
42834Now, I will add, that if you obstinately refuse the arrangement I offer----""Well, suppose I do?"
42834Now, do you understand?"
42834Now, give me your hand, and suppose we say no more about it?"
42834Of what use would it be to dissimulate with an enemy so well informed as you pretend to be?
42834Pardon me, but I do not think you looked at him?"
42834Señor Don Jaime Lupo,"he said, turning to the colonel,"will you be kind enough to hand twenty- five ounces to each of these gentlemen?"
42834Shall I read it to you?"
42834Tell me, do you believe that?"
42834That is settled, I think?"
42834Was not this villain known by the sobriquet of the Zaragate?"
42834Well, Curumilla?"
42834Well, general, why do you not ask me what has become of that coffin?"
42834Well, then, all is settled; when the hour arrives, you will place us behind the bar; but can my companion and I sit there with any degree of comfort?"
42834Well, we are going to my house; have you any objection to that?"
42834Well, what connection has this with the question I asked you?"
42834Well?"
42834What can be said after this?
42834What could you expect?
42834What do you think of a ride in this magnificent moonlight?"
42834What do you think of it?"
42834What do you think of my proposal?"
42834What have you done?"
42834What more need I tell you, my friend?
42834What then?
42834What torture more terrible than death did he intend to inflict on him?
42834When it was over, the traveller rolled a cigarette, and, handing it to the stranger, said--"Do you smoke?"
42834Where do you propose to hide us?"
42834Who knows what joy and happiness the future may still have in store for you?"
42834Who of you, my friends, would dare to say that he has suffered more than I?
42834Why is not the buffalo, then, acclimatised in Europe?
42834Will you take a walk tomorrow in the Parian?"
42834Will you undertake this commission, the last I shall doubtless give you?"
42834You said one hundred ounces, I think?"
42834You understand me, I trust?"
42834You will come to me tomorrow at daybreak, will you not?"
42834Your history is that of all men in this world: who of us, but at a given hour, has felt his courage yield beneath the weight of grief?
42834a mystery, Master Carnero?"
42834and what am I to do in this street?"
42834and what did he say on receiving my note?"
42834and what will become of the young ladies in the event of a dispute?"
42834do you know?"
42834do you think I would venture to go to the convent on horseback?
42834have I any secrets from you?
42834have you forgotten the man to whom you intrusted your horse?
42834he murmured;"what interest can I have in the fact of your knowing me?"
42834he said, in a firm voice,"and by what right do you question me?"
42834he said, in a stifled voice,"you here?"
42834his master exclaimed, in surprise,"you have discovered a grotto?"
42834my permission?
42834the Tigrero exclaimed in amazement,"for what purpose?"
42834the Tigrero exclaimed sadly;"how is the execution of this odious machination to be prevented?"
42834the colonel said, falling back a step in surprise,"who mentioned my name?"
42834the general said, looking at a clock,"it is impossible;"but, suddenly reflecting, he asked,"anyone you know, Isidro?"
42834the hunter exclaimed in amazement,"are you French?"
42834the latter said to him,"are you going, Valentine, without resting for a moment?"
42834the only relation I have remaining?"
42834then you have discovered something?"
42834then you have turned robber at present?"
42834what frightful scheme can this man have formed?"
42834what is to be done?"
42834what news can I learn?"
42834you are at present my only friend; why may I not be allowed to remain always by your side?
42834you understand all about it?"
753''Do n''t you see?'' 753 ''What''s this?''
753Ai n''t that a pretty colour?
753And if the conditions are not complied with?
753And the Indians who caught you, Uncle Jim? 753 And who might you be?"
753And you never saw him again?
753Are you all right?
753As for that,says I,"do n''t you remember now that T 0 outfit had a yearlin''kid when it came into the country?"
753Blamed Chink,he growled;"why do n''t he wash these windows?"
753But ai n''t you goin''to join the game?
753But how can it stay on that way?
753But where did she come from?
753But, Uncle Jim,we cried in a confused chorus,"how did you get away?
753Ca n''t you read that sign?
753Can I get water here?
753Climate not healthy for you?
753Collect Gila monsters for their good looks?
753Did you ever have any very close calls?
753Didje think we''d send the Chink?
753Do n''t they have any genooine Texans down your way?
753Do n''t you ADMIRE these cow gents?
753Do n''t you reckon he''s bluffing?
753Do n''t you?
753Do we get that talk?
753Do you do any guiding yourself, now?
753Do you know the country south of here?
753Do you reckon that there blue trail is smoke from the machine or remarks from the inhabitants thereof?
753Do you want to sell hosses?
753Does it shrink much when it dries?
753Does it shrink?
753Dutchy,says I,"what makes you let that bow- legged cross between a bulldog and a flamin''red sunset tromp on you so?
753Estrella,he repeated,"how old are you?"
753For God''s sake, what''s up?
753For heaven''s sake,I yelled at him,"what''s the matter with you and your old clothes?
753Get out of here, you debased Mongolian,he shouted;"ca n''t you see I''m reading?"
753Glad to get back?
753Got six bits about you?
753Got them all?
753Harry,said he in a low voice,"do you remember the camp we made on the shoulder of the mountain that night we were caught out?
753Havin''supper?
753How about burros and mules?
753How about that bay mare I sold you? 753 How come back?"
753How did you know I would n''t?
753How do I know you plays fair?
753How do you know?
753How do you, like her?
753How far is it to Mollyhay?
753How far is it to the next water?
753How far is that?
753How many of you is they?
753How much can I draw?
753How much is your water for humans?
753How old are you, Estrella?
753How so?
753How would you like to go, too, and buy some duds?
753How''s that?
753How''s tricks?
753Hullo, stranger,says I,"ai n''t you''fraid of Injins?"
753Hurt?
753I can read it all right?
753I suppose I better come along?
753I wanted to keep them for the valley market,says he,"but-- How much did you give Jimmy Tack for his buckskin?"
753I wonder if she''ll like the country?
753Is that so?
753Is the money lost?
753Look here, Jed,says he,"what do you make of this?"
753Look here,says he,"is this here thing my grave?"
753May I ask further the reason for this extraordinary condition?
753My friend,said I, drawing him aside,"I do n''t want to be inquisitive, but what might you do when you''re home?"
753Now look here,said he,"what''s the use of going to California?
753Now, do n''t you chaps think it silly to wear such high heels to your boots?
753Now, where do you suppose that came from, and how did it get here?
753Oh, did it?
753Oh, you''re looking for him are you?
753Oh,cried Estrella,"have I a pony?
753Parker here--?
753Pretty, is n''t it, honey?
753Say, do you hear?
753Say, you know that buckskin you bought off''n me?
753See Mrs. Johnson go through?
753Stranger,said he, in a scared kind of whisper,"what''s them?"
753Texas Pete?
753That may all be true,said I,"but why do you tell me?
753That''s agreed?
753That''s all right-- but where?
753That''s right, ai n''t it?
753That?
753Then what?
753Then why are you travellin''through an Injin country all alone?
753Then, with only about fifty head of grown cows, there ought not to be an equal number of yearlin''s?
753They''re sure an amusing enough contraption honey,said he,"but what makes you stand out there in the hot sun staring at them that way?
753Thought you was n''t comin''back for a week yet?
753Thought you were down to Tucson?
753Was it that cave near the three cottonwoods?
753Was you ever in the Jackson country?
753Well, Case,he addressed the barrister,"what is it this time?
753Well, what do you think of this one?
753Well,insisted the first voice,"what in hell does Colorado Rogers mean by bustin''in on our song fiesta that way?"
753Well,said I,"what did you expect would happen to you lying around Yuma after midnight with a hole in your head?"
753Well?
753What are you drivin''at?
753What are you going to do now, you devil?
753What are you going to do?
753What became of the rustlers?
753What did Texas Pete do after that?
753What did you quit it for, then?
753What did you say?
753What do you mean, riding out with that foot?
753What do you mean?
753What do you want?
753What for?
753What in hell would we do here?
753What is it?
753What is it?
753What kind of a good thing?
753What the hell are you- all doin''on the trail without no money at all?
753What time is it?
753What to do?
753What was that?
753What you do with yourself all day to- day?
753What''s biting the locoed stranger?
753What''s that for?
753What''s the matter with going into business? 753 What''s the matter, Schwartz?"
753What''s the proposition?
753What''s the use?
753What''s this?
753What''s up, Buck?
753What?
753What?
753When?
753Where are my clothes?
753Where did you learn it?
753Where you headed?
753Where''d you get into the canyon?
753Where''d you get the coat?
753Where''d you get those hosses?
753Where''s my clothes?
753Where''s my coat?
753Where?
753Which way?
753Who are you?
753Who in hell are you?
753Who was singing that song?
753Who was that singing?
753Who''s your woolly friend?
753Why ai n''t the shack burned?
753Why did you do it?
753Why do n''t you take him up?
753Why me?
753Why not?
753Why?
753Will it wear?
753Will you wait three days?
753Would you like to have me tote it to you, or do you reckon you could toddle this far with yore little old iron?
753You can read the sign, ca n''t you?
753You do n''t say so? 753 You like to make some money?"
753You say you found her up the Double R?
753You''ll take the job?
753You''re Mr. Johnson, ai n''t you?
753''How the devil, stranger,''says Charlie,''did you come to fall in here?''
753Ai n''t you never going to turn in?"
753And again:"Jed,"began the Senor,"did you ever notice them mountains?"
753And how much do you suppose whisky''d be worth to drink after that desert?
753Been going on a month, you say?"
753But why not tack her up where the trail hits the camp?
753Ca n''t I see him?
753Can you call that sale off?
753Did he come in one box or in two?"
753Did n''t you save my life, and nuss me, and take care of me when I was nigh killed?"
753Did you bring him?"
753Did you ever notice how any animal, tame or wild, always points his ears inquiringly in the direction of whatever interests or alarms him?
753Did you ever pause to ponder over the returns chickens would give on a small investment?
753Do ye hear me?"
753Do you know what that meant?
753Do you think you can make her?"
753Escape?
753Have they broken the will?"
753Have you the money?"
753How did you do it?"
753How many men do you want, and grub for how long?"
753How?
753How?
753I asks myself,"and why is the hoss and the mule tied all so peaceful to the corral?"
753Is he here?"
753It''s a joke, is n''t it?
753Now, I want to know if you''ll lead a posse down into the south country and bring out that last bunch, and the man who rustled them?"
753They reiterated themselves over and over; and always as refrain his own confident reply,"Like the country?
753Think you could teach him to eat sugar, Brent?"
753What did the Indians do to you?
753What do you mean?"
753What do you think I''d want with them?
753What do you think?"
753What for?"
753What frightens you, honey?"
753What hosses do you want?"
753What shall we do?"
753What should be the proportion of cows to calves anyhow?"
753What''s a Kentucky breakfast?
753What''s a sleeper?
753What''s the dog for?
753Where could I find room for that in English paddocks?
753Where in England can I buy that?
753Where in parcelled, snug, green, tight little England could I buy that with ten thou''--aye, or an hundred times ten thou''?
753Who rescued you?"
753Why SHOULDN''T she?"
753Why did n''t I take a hoss and start first?
753Why do n''t you get your treasure without the need of dividing it?"
753Why do n''t you teach''em to come to that brass horn, and save your voice?"
753Why had they not left him peaceful in his own life of cattle and the trail?
753Why not stay here?"
753Why on this particular door?"
753Why should n''t she?"
753Why, is n''t it queer?
753Will you tackle it?"
753You keep thinking,"Now suppose there''s a flaw in that fuse, or something, and she goes off in six seconds instead of two minutes?
753You sabe what that meant, do n''t you?
753cries his friend, astonished,''what in the world do you find to laugh at in that?''
753growled Jed;"who''s going to San Pedro?"
753he growls,"and how do you expect to get along?
753he warbled, and then in the same breath:"Say, boys, did you get onto the pisano- looking shorthorn at Willets last week?
753marvelled Senor Johnson,"--and who is it?"
753shouted Parker;"who to?"
753thinks I to myself,"he ai n''t celebratin''gettin''that bunch of buzzards, is he?"
753where''ll you be then?"
45989A bird, did you say?
45989A bungalow head?
45989And you let us suffer with cold and eat a coffeeless supper?
45989Any loss of life?
45989Anything wrong, Smith?
45989Are n''t we going down to make camp now?
45989Are n''t you ashamed of yourself, Kitty?
45989Are n''t you coming with us?
45989Are the ponies all safe?
45989Are there snakes up here?
45989Are we going down there?
45989Are we going there?
45989Are we going to lie here all day and let those ruffians shoot at us?
45989Are we going to sleep on the ground?
45989Are we ready? 45989 Are you folks going to get aboard?"
45989Are you getting cold feet already?
45989Are you hurt?
45989Are you positive, Stacy?
45989Are you ready?
45989Are you still chilly?
45989Are-- are we attacked? 45989 As cook or guide?"
45989Becoming?
45989But suppose they are looking for us?
45989But what has that to do with mental transmigration?
45989By the way, where are we going, Grace?
45989Ca n''t we do something?
45989Came near making a meal of you, did n''t he, Uncle Hip?
45989Can my Uncle Hip shoot? 45989 Change to what?"
45989Cold feet, eh?
45989Could anything be more beautiful?
45989Crawl where?
45989Di-- id they rob the passengers?
45989Did n''t you find him?
45989Did the man see you?
45989Did you find water?
45989Did you folks know that I learned a new hitch at Gardner?
45989Did you get him?
45989Did you see that?
45989Do n''t I eat first?
45989Do n''t you see that Kitty''s pack is pressing right against the rocks?
45989Do n''t you see the fog rolling in? 45989 Do you know where there is a spring or a creek?"
45989Do you know where you''re going, or do n''t you?
45989Do you mean to say that you belong to that fool outfit?
45989Do you recognize this?
45989Do you see? 45989 Do you see?"
45989Do you think he discovered the camp?
45989Do? 45989 Eh?
45989Emma, why do n''t you transmigrate a little? 45989 For what reason?"
45989For what?
45989Girls, what do you think of my nephew?
45989Got anything loose around the house? 45989 Grace, have you taken an inventory of the food?"
45989Have you ever had any experience with transmigration of thought?
45989He speaks hog Latin quite fluently, does n''t he?
45989Hippy Wingate, did you have that last night?
45989How about the other one?
45989How are you, Chunky?
45989How did you guess it?
45989How do you know it was about shoe business?
45989How is he?
45989How long ago was that done, do you think?
45989How long do you figure that it will take us to get into the High Country?
45989How many times did you reload?
45989How many?
45989How much do you want? 45989 How much money do you wish, Woo?"
45989How would you folks like a real camp- fire?
45989How-- where?
45989However did you do it, Tom?
45989Hurt? 45989 I went in, did n''t I?"
45989I wonder at whom they are shooting this time?
45989I wonder if he did it?
45989I-- I transmigrated, did n''t I, Emma?
45989I? 45989 If they are headed north they are headed towards the place where we were fired upon, are they not?"
45989Is it the altitude that has gone to_ your_ head?
45989Is n''t it queer how that pink tint hangs on?
45989Is n''t there another_ man_ in this car?
45989Is not something moving out there?
45989Is that a hat I see floating there?
45989Is that so? 45989 Is this some new freak, Emma Dean?"
45989Is this some new game that you are trying to play on me?
45989It does n''t seem possible that we shall be able to make those mountains with our ponies, does it?
45989It sounds shivery, does n''t it?
45989Jump? 45989 Lost?
45989Make up the beds with a pick?
45989May I ask what car you were in?
45989May I ask you how you could have found out?
45989May I look at your rifle?
45989May the girls go inside now?
45989Mr. Brown, may I ask if you ever have had any experience with mental transmigration?
45989Now, sir, what is your plan?
45989Oh, Hippy, ca n''t you do something?
45989Oh, girls, is n''t this fairyland?
45989Oh, what is it? 45989 Oh, why did I ever ask you to come with us?"
45989Otherwise, why should they split up and take different trails?
45989Say, girls,bubbled Emma Dean,"what if it should prove to be ice cream in reality?"
45989Six, eh? 45989 So many as that?"
45989So that''s it, eh?
45989So, that''s it, eh?
45989So, that''s the game, is it?
45989Son,said he,"do ye reckon on climbin''mountains with that thing?"
45989Stacy, did you look around farther back in the cave?
45989Stacy, did you throw that stone?
45989Surely we do not have to cross that, do we?
45989That is it, eh?
45989That reminds me, Chunky, what have you done about the pack animals?
45989That? 45989 That?"
45989The bandits have taken different directions from here, have n''t they?
45989The black?
45989The what?
45989Then we are a pair of''em, eh?
45989Then what are you stewing about?
45989Then, would it not be a good idea to unload your ponies?
45989There are trees growing in the lake, but what are those glistening objects farther out?
45989There is plenty of game there, is there not?
45989They do n''t, eh?
45989Thought you would play me a smart trick, did you? 45989 Tom, are you game to go through with it?"
45989Tom, what is your idea of this shooting?
45989Want?
45989Was there really a treasure car on the train, Ford?
45989We are quits now, are n''t we?
45989Well, sir, what is the matter with you?
45989Well?
45989Well?
45989Were you ever held up?
45989Wha-- at are you going to do?
45989Wha-- at is it?
45989Wha-- at is it?
45989Wha-- at''s this?
45989Wha-- what is it?
45989What about a guide? 45989 What about starting a conflagration, Captain Gray?"
45989What ails the silly creature?
45989What are we going to do with it? 45989 What are you afraid of?"
45989What are your wishes, to go through to- night or wait until morning and get an early start?
45989What can be the matter?
45989What can that mean?
45989What could a woman be doing in this awful country?
45989What did she do then?
45989What did she look like?
45989What did you think we were trying to hit?
45989What did you wake me up for?
45989What do we eat to- day?
45989What do you call that hole down there?
45989What do you make of it?
45989What do you say, good people?
45989What does it mean? 45989 What has become of our story- telling friend, sir?"
45989What has been done about the general equipment?
45989What has he done in the way of mountain work?
45989What have you done to her?
45989What in the world are you doing?
45989What is a kyack? 45989 What is it going to be, Hippy?"
45989What is it, Sheriff?
45989What is it-- what has become of him?
45989What is it?
45989What is it?
45989What is it?
45989What is it?
45989What is that floating out there?
45989What is the trouble, Grace?
45989What kind of heathen talk is that?
45989What kind?
45989What log?
45989What''s that he says?
45989What''s that you''re eating?
45989What''s that? 45989 What''s that?"
45989What''s that?
45989What''s the matter? 45989 What''s the use of a hat without a head to wear it?"
45989What, here?
45989When did you change them-- change the open sights?
45989Where are the ninepins?
45989Where are they? 45989 Where are they?"
45989Where did you get it?
45989Where does this Jones crowd make its headquarters?
45989Where have you been?
45989Where in the world did you learn all that, darlin''?
45989Where is Stacy? 45989 Where is this mysterious lake?"
45989Where''s that boy?
45989Where''s that dugout?
45989Where, where?
45989Whither away, my pretty maid?
45989Who are they?
45989Who is the wrangler this morning?
45989Who''s that?
45989Why did you fool with the sights on my rifle?
45989Why do n''t you change your sights? 45989 Why do n''t you transmigrate yourself to a warmer clime for an hour or so?"
45989Why do n''t you turn it over and let it float for a few minutes?
45989Why do n''t you use a pea- shooter?
45989Why do n''t you use your pea- shooter?
45989Why do they bother other folks?
45989Why not?
45989Why not?
45989Why should this band of outlaws have reason to interfere with us?
45989Will you stop that''hi- lee''business?
45989Wo n''t it be fine not to have to do any cooking on this trip?
45989Woo Smith, are n''t you ready to turn in?
45989Woo, are you positive that there is a safe way to get down?
45989Woo, did Mr. Brown try to pull your halter off?
45989Woo, do you know horses?
45989Woo, got anything loose about the house? 45989 Woo, how deep is that lake?"
45989Would n''t it be a terrible catastrophe if I were to be transmigrated out of bed?
45989Yes, but what if he does n''t find himself?
45989Yes?
45989You are a fine hero, are n''t you?
45989You are a tenderfoot, are n''t you?
45989You are n''t going into that hole, are you?
45989You are partly right,agreed Hippy laughingly,"but do n''t do anything like that again, will you?"
45989You do know how to do something, do n''t you?
45989You do n''t mean it?
45989You do n''t mean that we''ve got to get up in the dewy morning and rustle grub for the outfit, do you?
45989You do n''t say?
45989You do n''t say?
45989You do? 45989 You mean I ought to have a double- cinch on the riding saddles?
45989You mean bing, bing, do n''t you?
45989You remember what he said about the mysterious Aerial Lake, do n''t you?
45989You said''yes,''did n''t you? 45989 You savvy big tlees?"
45989You savvy buck in lelet?
45989You savvy him white lock?
45989You savvy mebby pony him no climb?

45989You savvy plenty fine night, too?
45989You savvy?
45989You say his name is Woo Smith?
45989You say someone pulled your queue?
45989You say that Hippy is paying the bills?
45989You say you know the man who was on foot when you were taken?
45989You stole a pudding, eh?
45989You''re a brave man, are n''t you?
45989You''re a funny fellow, are n''t you?
45989You''re going to the peak, are n''t you?
45989Are we attacked?"
45989Are you hurt?"
45989Are you lost, too?"
45989Are you still of the same mind?"
45989By the way, where do we go and when do we start?"
45989By the way, where do we sleep tonight?"
45989CHAPTER XX LEAD AND MYSTERY IN THE AIR"Are-- are we attacked?"
45989Can not something be done?"
45989Can you all shoot?"
45989Can you get it aboard?"
45989Can you take us to the place where you came on those ruffians?"
45989Captain Gray, what do you wish to do?"
45989Did n''t I tell you?"
45989Did we not come up here for that purpose?"
45989Did you ever hear of the Jones gang?"
45989Do n''t you know I would n''t do anything like that?"
45989Do n''t you know where you are?"
45989Do n''t you see that Hippy has a chill, Tom?"
45989Do n''t you want to play, Honey?"
45989Do you see what he is-- a big cinnamon bear?
45989Do you think you can reach the locomotive?"
45989Do you understand?"
45989Do you want to get hurt?"
45989Does anyone know?"
45989Emma Dean, did you pull Honorable Smith''s queue?"
45989Emma, will you roll if I fix a boulder for you?"
45989Ford?"
45989Get me?"
45989Giddings?"
45989Got any news about Uncle Hip?"
45989Has Lieutenant Wingate returned?"
45989Have n''t you any more sense than to blaze away before you know at what you are shooting?"
45989Have the scoundrels come back?"
45989Have you men ammunition?"
45989Have you seen strangers about?"
45989Here?"
45989Hi- lee, hi- lo; hi--""What were you going to say?"
45989Hippy, does not this remind you of France, when you were flying above the clouds?"
45989Hippy, my darlin'', are you all right?"
45989How about you, Stacy?"
45989How am I going to turn over?"
45989How could I have found out?
45989How could you think such a thing?
45989How did you happen to come in over that trail?"
45989How many of you men are with me?"
45989How''s yourself?"
45989I wonder if I really have?"
45989I--""You no savvy game?"
45989Is it far from here?"
45989Is n''t that what folks buy sleeping car tickets for?"
45989Is that arranged for?"
45989Is that it?"
45989Is that it?"
45989Is there a blacksmith outfit over there?"
45989Look at him, will you?"
45989Look at that, will you?"
45989Once more I rise to ask if this kyack thing is some sort of dried beef that we are expected to eat when real food is scarce?"
45989Pretty good haul, eh?
45989Remember, too, that I''m a sick man, that I''ve been mauled and keelhauled by a bunch of bandits and--""Do you speak English?"
45989Say, you can swim some, ca n''t you?"
45989See that ridge to the right of us?"
45989Smith, have you lost the trail?"
45989Something good to eat?"
45989Suppose I had met up with a cinnamon bear at close range, for instance-- what do you think would have happened?"
45989Then there are hobbles for the horses, a couple of cow bells--""Are we going to take cows along with us?"
45989There was n''t anybody in sight, so I tipped over and--""Accidentally?"
45989There you are, eh?"
45989Think I am going to eat cold grub, just out of consideration for you?"
45989Tom, how many do you think would be about right?"
45989Tom, what is our altitude here?"
45989Was that all you saw, Woo?"
45989We have enough for present needs, but have you considered that we may be held here until either we starve or are shot?
45989Were you in that wreck, too?"
45989Wha-- at are you going to do?"
45989What are ye up to?"
45989What did it look like?
45989What did you find?"
45989What do you think I had better do?"
45989What is it you wish me to do?"
45989What is it, and how does it work?"
45989What is it?"
45989What next, Lieutenant?"
45989What other objection is there?"
45989What shall we do?"
45989What would you advise, Tom?"
45989What''s Uncle Hip up to now?"
45989What''s going on?"
45989What''s that?"
45989What''s the news from the front?"
45989Where are they?"
45989Where are you going?"
45989Where are you?
45989Where have you been all the time?"
45989Where is he?"
45989Where is my rifle?
45989Where is my saddle?"
45989Where?"
45989Where?"
45989Who is he?"
45989Who knows but that Stacy may be under it?"
45989Who would have thought it?
45989Who would think it?"
45989Why did you do it?"
45989Why kick, now that you are about to have a warm drink?"
45989Wonderful, was n''t it?"
45989Woo, what_ is_ the trouble?
45989You no savvy tlail?"
45989You savvy nicee day?"
45989[ Illustration:"Are You Hurt?"]
37249''Mirapolis''?
37249A city?--in this reservoir bottom? 37249 Am I my brother''s keeper?"
37249And Gomorrah?
37249And about this Massingale affair-- you will not interfere again?
37249And let him blackmail me? 37249 And still you wo n''t print this?"
37249And the government?
37249And the next minute?
37249And the other?
37249And the source could n''t possibly have become contaminated by the Cortwright germs?
37249And the structure itself-- how high is it to be?
37249And what started you off into the memory woods, particularly, to- night?
37249And you are carrying that millstone? 37249 And you are trying to tell me that father made a hundred thousand dollars just in those few hours by buying and selling Mirapolis lots?
37249And you have----?
37249And you met him? 37249 And you-- you believed all this?"
37249And your labor?
37249Another seven?
37249Anything else remarkable up your sleeve?
37249Anything new?
37249Are you never going to forget that senseless bit of twaddle?
37249Are you sure? 37249 Are you-- are you_ plumb_ sure you can spare it?"
37249Are you?
37249As you were saying?
37249Before Congress convenes, you mean?
37249Believing that it was for the best interests of the railroad to come here?
37249Brouillard, do you know what you are talking about?
37249Brouillard,he grated huskily,"does this mean that you''re breaking with us, once for all?"
37249But how?
37249But now you think he is going to make his bluff good?
37249But now,she queried--"now, I suppose, you have become reconciled?"
37249But tell me, what would you do with your pot of rainbow gold-- if you should find it?
37249But where is she now?
37249But will you? 37249 But you did advise Mr. Ford to build the Extension?"
37249But you have made the plans for this power plant, have n''t you?
37249But you have the order?
37249But your part in this horrible plot, Victor?
37249Catching you, too, is it, Victor?
37249Chief engineer, eh? 37249 Comparatively rich, you say?--and you washed this spoonful out of a single pan?"
37249Curious that this particular fly should drop into your pot of ointment on your birthday, was n''t it?
37249Did I?
37249Did it agree with you?
37249Did n''t I? 37249 Did n''t Smith know better than to take her down there at such a time as this?"
37249Did you find out?
37249Did you imagine that your workmen were any less human than other people?
37249Did you sign those notes personally, or as president of the new company?
37249Did you think we were going to cut the melon and hand you out a piece of the rind? 37249 Did you?--and before you had a stake in the game?
37249Do n''t they?
37249Do n''t you ever get beyond that?
37249Do n''t you? 37249 Do you call_ that_ civilization?"
37249Do you do it as other men do?--just to hear how it sounds?
37249Do you know the reason why it was given?
37249Do you know what I''m thinking about, Mr. Brouillard? 37249 Do you know, Brouillard, Hosford gets on my nerves, too?
37249Do you mean to say that real farms with green things growing on them can be made out of that frightful desert we drove over yesterday afternoon?
37249Do you really believe that? 37249 Do you think my daughter could walk it?"
37249Do you want me to be frivolous or serious?
37249Do you want me to say that I should have missed a great deal? 37249 Does he make that a command?"
37249Does it date back to the handicap? 37249 Does n''t he want to make money?"
37249Does the order cover more than the work on the dam?
37249Does this formal notice that the waste- gates will be closed three weeks from to- morrow go as it stands?
37249Even if it should give you another attack of the''seeing things''?
37249Extenuating circumstances-- is that what you mean? 37249 For example?"
37249Fuel for your power plant?--wood I take it?
37249H''m,said the millionaire;"a cement plant, eh?
37249Has it never occurred to you that she may be just a woman-- like other women? 37249 Has she told you so?"
37249Have n''t you heard how the men of the desert camps kill each other for the chance to pick up a lady''s handkerchief?
37249Have you been given to understand that this office is in any sense a tail to your Improvement Company''s kite?
37249Have you heard the talk of the street? 37249 Have you seen Miss Massingale since noon?"
37249He means to give you the casting vote? 37249 How about those notes in the bank?
37249How are you, Mr. Massingale? 37249 How can any one predict that when Congress is not in session?"
37249How can you know that?
37249How can you tell? 37249 How did you know that I have been wanting to come up here once more before everything is changed?"
37249How did you know?
37249How do you know I gave him a hundred thousand dollars?
37249How does that strike you?
37249How is the line to- night, Sanford-- pretty clear?
37249How straight is your tip, Harlan?
37249How was that?
37249How?
37249Huh?
37249I asked you who has been gossiping about me; not Grizzy?
37249I knew, or thought I knew, that you were miles away, over in the Buckskin; and how could I call you?
37249I suppose Harlan is getting ready to exploit the new sensation right?
37249I want you to send a wire to Red Butte telling the smelter people that you will be glad to have them handle the''Little Susan''ore."And if I do?
37249I wonder if you know how little I care?
37249If it had succeeded? 37249 If they should happen to uncover a gold reef just now it would simplify matters immensely for Mirapolis, would n''t it?
37249In less than a hundredth part of that time you''ll be at the top of the Reclamation- Service pay- roll-- won''t that help out?
37249Is it a good reason?
37249Is it business?
37249Is it my fault that Massingale ca n''t pay his debts?
37249Is it so? 37249 Is n''t that your notion?"
37249Is she-- the one incomparable she-- worth it, Victor?
37249Is that all you have to say?
37249Is that all you have to say?
37249Is that all?
37249Is that the new name?
37249It means a great deal to you, does n''t it?
37249It''s about a hundred and twenty miles from this to El Gato, on the Grand Canyon, is n''t it, Mr. Brouillard? 37249 Let''s see,"said the newsman thoughtfully;"what is there worth taking that they did n''t take in the_ sauve qui peut_?
37249May I break in with a bit of bad news?
37249Meaning that he is too uncompromisingly honest to be one of us? 37249 Miss Massingale?
37249My brother?
37249No?
37249Now for the business end of the deal-- why do n''t you sit down?
37249Now tell me about the''Little Susan''; is the Blue- grass farm looming up comfortably on the eastern edge of things?
37249Of course you do n''t take any stock in the rumor that the government will call a halt?
37249Oh, yes; let me see; are they due to- day?
37249On the dam, you mean? 37249 Ought I to know the gentleman?"
37249Sell it? 37249 Shall I do what you would have me do, Amy?
37249Since when?
37249So you''re_ that_ kind of a fire- eater, are you? 37249 Still you say you do n''t want to scrap?"
37249Supposing it was-- what''s the difference? 37249 Tell me one thing, Brouillard: what is your stake in the Massingale game?
37249That brings on more talk-- about a thousand miles of it, does n''t it?
37249That is your challenge, is it?
37249That night, you mean? 37249 The Cortwright people want the road, do n''t they?"
37249The Massingale mine, eh?
37249The way to keep me from talking is to do it all yourself; what happened to me last night?
37249The-- what?
37249Then it is your opinion that if this were printed it would do the business?
37249Then what happened?
37249Then why are you so anxious to make old David a rich man at my expense? 37249 Then why did you do it?
37249Then you have n''t heard? 37249 Then you will advise against the building of the Extension?"
37249Under guard?
37249We ca n''t stand for any more chaos than the gods have already doped out for us, can we?
37249Well, did you succeed in placing the lady?
37249Well, then, how about the choice between two evils? 37249 Well, what more do you want?
37249Well, what of it?
37249Well, why was n''t it fair?
37249Well,said Grislow again,"what of it?
37249Well,was the millionaire''s greeting,"you waited to be sent for, did n''t you?"
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249What are the spellbinders doing, Grizzy?
37249What are you going to do about it, Victor?
37249What can you possibly know about the Assyrians?
37249What can you, or any man who sets himself apart as you do, know about the troubles and besetments of ordinary people? 37249 What did I say?
37249What did I say?
37249What did he tell you?
37249What do you know, Brouillard?
37249What do you want this time?
37249What does it mean to you-- to you, personally, and apart from the money your father might make out of it, Amy?
37249What fact?
37249What has all this bubble blowing got to do with the building of a temporary power dam and the setting up of a couple of cement kilns?
37249What has given you the impression that you own me, Mr. Cortwright? 37249 What have I done to make you forget how to talk?"
37249What is it?
37249What is the active principle of your''sevens''--or have n''t you figured it out?
37249What is the one thing you would n''t sell?
37249What is your need?
37249What is your tip?
37249What makes you think that?
37249What sort of a bug have you got in your cosmos this morning, Brouillard? 37249 What was the threat?"
37249What would I do? 37249 What would you do with it?
37249What''s come over you, lately, Victor? 37249 What''s doing, and who''s doing it?"
37249What''s got into you? 37249 What''s that up there?"
37249What''s the odds if you go to it and bring back the money? 37249 What?
37249When have I ever bleated when I should have kept still?
37249When is it? 37249 Where does the Honorable All- the- rest keep himself?"
37249Where was it you saw them, Castner?
37249Who is Lord Falkland?
37249Who is your treasurer?
37249Who said that?
37249Why do n''t you drop in once in a while and give me the run of things?
37249Why do you ask me?
37249Why do you doubt it? 37249 Why do you want to know?"
37249Why not?
37249Why not?
37249Why not?
37249Why not?
37249Why should n''t I say it? 37249 Why should n''t we take to- day, the only day we can be sure of having, and use and enjoy it while it is ours?
37249Why should you doubt it?
37249Why should you? 37249 Why the devil did n''t you fellows turn out?"
37249Why''of course''?
37249Will you come along?
37249Will you go with me, Victor? 37249 Wo n''t you?"
37249Yes?
37249Yes?
37249You are Amy-- and this is that other world you used to talk about, is n''t it?
37249You are certain that your information did n''t originate right here in Mirapolis-- in Mr. Cortwright''s office, to locate it more exactly?
37249You are ready to let go, are you?
37249You are selling Mirapolis holdings short to- day, Garner?
37249You could n''t conjure an omen out of that, could you? 37249 You did this deliberately, Victor, weighing all the consequences?
37249You do n''t deny them?
37249You have n''t been tumbling into the ditch with Leshington and Griffith and the rest of us and making love to the little sister, have you?
37249You interested yourself? 37249 You mean that I have brought my cut finger to you?"
37249You saw President Ford after I did; what did he say when he was over here?
37249You say you saw the money in father''s hands; tell me, Victor, did you see him pay it into the bank?
37249You say you''re goin''down to the Buckskin right away? 37249 You say your father has borrowed of the bank-- is Mr. Cortwright mixed up in the loan in any way?"
37249You sent for me?
37249You will marry her?
37249You would n''t let pride-- a false pride-- stand in the way of her happiness?
37249You''ll be up on the stagings yourself, wo n''t you?
37249You''ll bet money h- on dat?--h- all de money you got?
37249You''ll rob an old man first, and then call him a thief and set the sheriff on him, will you----?
37249You''ll surely want to give me my instructions a little beforehand, wo n''t you? 37249 You''re Brillard, the government man, I take it?"
37249You''re giving Garner a blank card to buy for your account? 37249 You''ve borrowed to meet these notes?"
37249You''ve had it out with Cortwright?
37249You, Victor?
37249You? 37249 You?"
37249You?
37249Your business, maybe; it falls right in your line, does n''t it?
37249Your father is n''t at home?
37249Ze dinnare-- she was h- all right, M''sieu''Brouillard?
37249_ He had the money?_ Where did he get it?
37249_ He had the money?_ Where did he get it?
37249Am I making it plain?"
37249And he has spent ninety thousand dollars on the''Little Susan''in sixty days?
37249And how will you get it here?"
37249And the girl on horseback?
37249And then, without any bush beating, the critical question was fired point- blank:"What becomes of all these fellows you are dropping?
37249And then, without warning:"What if I should tell you that the railroad is not coming to the Niquoia, Amy?"
37249And then:"Where is he now?
37249And then:"You''re one of the Reclamation engineers?
37249And your freedom-- how have you made a hundred thousand dollars in these few weeks?
37249And yours is----?"
37249And, besides, there''s Amy; you owe her something, do n''t you?--or do n''t you?
37249Any truth in that?"
37249Anybody seen him since?"
37249Are n''t we just as far from a carbide shop as we are from the dynamo?
37249Are you a silent partner in the''Little Susan''?"
37249Are you all packed?"
37249Are you asleep?"
37249Are you catching on?"
37249Are you going to be_ very_ busy this afternoon?"
37249Are you going to marry the girl?"
37249Are you going?
37249Besides, did n''t Brouillard say I was to get an extension if I could?"
37249Brought the cash, did you?
37249Brouillard took another long minute at the office window before he said:"What would you do if you were in my place, Murray?"
37249Brouillard was pointedly occupying himself at his desk, but he looked up long enough to say:"Whiskey, you mean?"
37249Brouillard?"
37249Brouillard?"
37249Brouillard?"
37249Brouillard?"
37249But about this railroad fizzle; I do n''t relish the notion of having our little joke sprung on us before we''re ready to laugh, do you?
37249But if you had a cut finger you would n''t go to a man in hell to get it tied up, would you?"
37249But in this thing which you are proposing there are issues involved which----""You want time to think it over?
37249But tell me, what are some of the things that may happen?"
37249But what of it?"
37249But why not, Mr. Brouillard?
37249But you say the stock was to be released when the notes were paid-- what was to happen if they were not paid?"
37249Buy corner lots in Niqoyastcà   djeburg?"
37249By the way, did you know that he_ is_ Lord Falkland now?
37249Ca n''t you contrive to get word to me, some way-- after it is all over?
37249Can we make the road pay if we bring it here?
37249Can you give me my present figure?...
37249Can you read minds and hearts as you do your maps and drawings?
37249Can you remember the words?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Did n''t I say just now that the town was crazy with excitement when I left to come up here?"
37249Did n''t we agree that that money was poisoned?
37249Did old David Massingale get out of J. Wesley''s clutches before the lightning struck?"
37249Digging for information, I suppose?"
37249Do I make it clear?"
37249Do n''t you believe it?"
37249Do n''t you know that it is only the very vainest people who say that?"
37249Do n''t you know that?"
37249Do you believe in Freiborg''s theory of the multiple personality?
37249Do you get that, Murray?"
37249Do you know that I once had the pleasure of introducing your good father to my bankers in Chicago?
37249Do you know what that plank- faced organizer has got up his sleeve?
37249Do you know what the men have named you?
37249Do you know why?
37249Do you remember that?"
37249Do you wonder that I have lost the knack?"
37249Does n''t it look good to you any more?"
37249Does n''t your brother know that it is illegal to shoot a trout stream?"
37249Facing them as I am obliged to face them, I am telling you-- but what''s the use?
37249Father thinks too much of making money-- a great deal too much; and you----""Well?"
37249First rate, I hope?"
37249Fits like the glove on a pretty girl''s arm, does n''t it?"
37249Ford?"
37249Ford?"
37249Garner, cancel my order to sell, will you?
37249Grislow?"
37249Had I ort to?"
37249Had he not expressly declared that the object of the desert automobile trip was mere tourist curiosity?
37249Has Gomorrah changed it?"
37249Has anybody found out yet who touched off the gold- mounted sky- rocket?"
37249Have n''t you any imagination?"
37249Have n''t you met him?
37249Have you ever been in the Blue- grass country?"
37249Have you ever seen any vouchers for the money spent?"
37249Have you got time to''put us next''?"
37249He fights his way to his ends without caring much for the consequences to others; but tell me-- haven''t you been doing the same thing?"
37249He will build the Extension if you advise it?"
37249Honestly, now, Harlan, what do you think about it yourself?
37249Hosford?"
37249How about that?"
37249How did you settle it finally?"
37249How far is it up to where you are going to build your dam?"
37249How is Steve this evening?"
37249How is Steve?"
37249How is the boy getting along?
37249How is young Massingale getting along?"
37249How long would it take you to get action in the Washington matter, do you think?"
37249How much is it going to cost us to stay in?"
37249How much is it going to cost us?"
37249How much money have you got?"
37249How much more time will you need to enable you to get returns from your shipments?
37249How will that do?"
37249How''m I goin''to secure you for this?"
37249How_ can_ you be sure?"
37249I thought you told me you merely went down and took a look-- didn''t butt in?"
37249If there were time-- but you say this is the last day?"
37249If you were the executive committee of the Pacific Southwestern, would you, or would you not, build the Extension?
37249Is a man a mere bit of driftwood, to be tossed about in the froth of any wave that happens to come along, as Freiborg says he is?"
37249Is it ever justifiable to do evil that good may come?"
37249Is it true that you''ve had orders from Washington within the past few days to cut your force on the dam one half?"
37249Is n''t it a part of your job?"
37249Is n''t it worth something to realize that?"
37249Is n''t that about the size of it?"
37249Is n''t that so?"
37249Is n''t there a possibility, just the least little shadow of a possibility, that I do n''t deserve to be punished?"
37249Is that Boyer-- Niquoia National?...
37249Is that all?"
37249Is that asking too much?"
37249Is that explicit enough?"
37249Is that it?"
37249Is that the plan?"
37249Is that true?"
37249Is there anything we can do?"
37249Is your father here?"
37249Is your telephone line up here in operation?"
37249Is your work going to start up again?
37249It figgered out this- a- way in the talk: they said, what''s the use o''takin''the money out o''one pocket and puttin''it into the other?
37249It is to be war between us from this on?"
37249Lack of money?
37249Looks like I needed a janitor to look after my upper story, do n''t it?
37249Massingale?"
37249Massingale?"
37249Massingale?"
37249Mirapolis is already a city of frenzied knaves and dupes; did you realize that you were taking the chance of turning it into a wicked pandemonium?
37249Must I be set down as hopelessly and irreclaimably frivolous just because I have chosen to laugh when possibly another woman might have cried?"
37249Must you carry it?"
37249Not more than that?...
37249Now, then, does that stand the band- wagon upon its wheels again?"
37249Oh, Victor, is it clean money?"
37249Or is it going off for good?"
37249Or shall I do what is best for you?"
37249Shall I go over to the_ Spot- Light_ office and tell Harlan what I know?"
37249Sixty days?
37249Sommtime ve get de railroad,_ n''est- ce pas_, M''sieu''Brouillard?
37249Suppose I should tell you that practically all of your bosses are in with us; what then?"
37249THE TERROR 322 ILLUSTRATIONS"What would I do?
37249Tell me, Mr. Brouillard, have you asked her to marry you?"
37249That would be the reasonable conclusion, would n''t it?"
37249The materials have all been tested, I suppose?"
37249The only question is this: Is the one only and incomparable she worth the effort?
37249The question is: Will they be rediscovered?
37249The''Little Susan''has begun to pan out, has it?
37249Then Miss Amy got word to you?
37249Then he asked a question:"When is this little hell- on- earth going to be finally extinguished, Victor?"
37249Then he put in the word of warning:"I suppose you''ll be dabbling a little in Mirapolis options after you get this note business out of the way?
37249Then the inevitable question:"They''re sayin''on the street that you''re lettin''out half o''your men-- that so?"
37249Then to Brouillard:"Say, young man; you do n''t mean to tell me that your father''s son needs a guardian, do you?
37249Then, with a determined wrenching aside of the subject:"Are you going up on Chigringo this afternoon?"
37249Then, with a purposeful changing of the subject:"Where is Miss Massingale?
37249Then, with business- like directness:"What will you build it of?--concrete?"
37249Then:"What has come over you lately, Brouillard?
37249There were ideals in the beginning; you admitted it, did n''t you?
37249There will be a called meeting of the directors here in this room to- morrow evening at eight o''clock, and----""Who calls it?"
37249Think I do n''t remember how you were always ranting about the dignity of a man''s work and quoting Kipling at me?
37249Think you could manage to get Ford on the wire and encourage him a little more?"
37249To whom?"
37249Want to come along?"
37249Was n''t Massingale personally involved in some way?"
37249Were the field- notes in when you left Washington?"
37249What about a man''s natural limitations?"
37249What about the dam?
37249What are you calling it?"
37249What are your orders from the department?"
37249What are your two evils?"
37249What became of the one hundred thousand dollars you gave old David Massingale?"
37249What did he do with it-- gamble it?"
37249What do we get out of life more than the day''s dole of-- well, of whatever we care most for?
37249What do you mean?
37249What do you say?"
37249What do you say?"
37249What do you think?"
37249What happened when you were twenty- one-- or were you too busy just then chasing the elusive engineering degree to take notice?"
37249What has your pay- roll been?"
37249What have you been doing all these days when I have n''t been able to keep tab on you?"
37249What have you done with old David?"
37249What if I had gone about town contradicting the rumor?"
37249What if the boomers were taking an unauthorized ell for their authorized inch?
37249What is it the Good Book says?
37249What is it?"
37249What is it?"
37249What shall I tell Miss Massingale when she asks about you?"
37249What was the quarrel about, between him and Van Bruce?"
37249What were you doing twenty minutes ago?"
37249What will you do?--build your dam right here and take out your canal through the canyon?
37249What''s the matter with our money?
37249What''s up?"
37249What''s your grief?"
37249What''s your price?"
37249What?
37249When do those notes of yours fall due?"
37249When will you want my expert opinion on your auxiliary dam?"
37249Where did you say I''d find your wire office?"
37249Where is she, and what was the message?"
37249Where is your sense of humor?"
37249Where will you get it?
37249Where''s the boss?"
37249Who has been telling you all these things about me?"
37249Who says so?
37249Why do n''t you care?"
37249Why is Steve proposing to give this thing away?
37249Why is n''t he working the bar himself?"
37249Why should he go out of his way to quarrel with it on high moral grounds?
37249Will you come down and see us off?"
37249Will you saw it off with me that way?--until you''ve made the turn on the ore sales?"
37249Wo n''t you ask me to sit down?"
37249Would he go, if he might have the post of honor behind the pilot- wheel of the new sixty- horse, seven- passenger flyer?
37249Would it go up, or down, with a sudden resumption of work on the dam?"
37249Would n''t that be delightful?"
37249Would n''t that be rather awkward?"
37249Would n''t that set your teeth on edge?"
37249Would the department place the men and the means instantly at his disposal?
37249Would the miracle be wrought?
37249Would you do it?"
37249Would you give a hundred thousand dollars for the privilege of being able to say to her:''Come, dear, let''s go and get married''?"
37249Would you mind telling me just why?"
37249You ai n''t allowin''to use it on her, Victor?"
37249You believe that, Amy?
37249You do n''t need any kindergartner of a construction man to help you solve a little problem like that, do you?"
37249You know that long, narrow sand- bar in the river just below the mouth of the upper canyon?"
37249You say the men clear out when they are discharged-- isn''t that about what you''d do if you were out of a job?"
37249You want something-- is it that damned Massingale business again?
37249You want to keep your job, do n''t you?"
37249You wo n''t forget that, will you?"
37249You wo n''t turn us down on this, Brouillard?"
37249You would say that''Bimi''would be just about the last thing in the world to put anybody to sleep, would n''t you?
37249You''d put us out of business?
37249You''ve eaten here before; what do you pay Bongras for a reasonably good dinner?"
37249You''ve got some sort of an engineers''mess, I take it?"
37249You_ are_ connected with it, are n''t you?"
37249_ Savez?_"The chauffeur was adjusting something under the upturned bonnet of the touring- car and thus hiding his grin.
37249am I really such a transparent egoist as all that?"
37249do n''t you see?
37249do you know that it is after ten o''clock?"
37249in Chicago?"
37249she panted,"is love a thing to be cheapened like that-- to be sinned for?"
37249that touched you, did n''t it?"
37249what in Sam Hill do you take us for?"
37249would n''t that give you a fit of the creepies?--this far from civilization and a dynamo?"
538A letter for dad?
538Afraid of you?
538Ai n''t there anybody else you can rope?
538All ready? 538 All ready?
538All ready? 538 All right, Miss-- say, what''s your name, anyway?"
538All set?
538And go back to the Bar Nothing?
538And it was from Uncle Carl, you say?
538And-- how long do these spasms usually last?
538Any objections to taking me along with you?
538Any ranch within forty miles of here? 538 Are you going to explain why you''re here, and apologize for your tone and manner, which are extremely rude?"
538Are you going to get out of the way so we can go on?
538Are you sure that it was the day before-- you left?
538Are you sure?
538Bad for who?
538Been the one that shot Crofty, you mean?
538Braids or curls?
538But will you tell me what kind of work she''ll make of interior scenes, and love scenes, and all that? 538 Ca n''t you practice on a post?"
538Carl? 538 Did I spoil something?"
538Did you get permission to haze our cattle around like this?
538Did you hear Art tell about taking a letter to dad the day before?
538Did you know who he was?
538Did you see how Pard set himself?
538Did you think I did n''t know you were trailing along behind me? 538 Do I look like Miss Gay?"
538Do you believe--?
538Do you see that picture on the billboard over there?
538Do you think I came all the way down here just to say hello?
538Do you think he did?
538Do you want to go over and stay at Carl''s, or would you rather go back to town?
538Does it look familiar to you?
538Go back with you?
538Got any make- up along? 538 Got your gun?"
538Has it struck you that you''re liable to have your hands full?
538How about that horse of yours? 538 How do you do, Mr. Burns?
538How does it sound, you and me making a home together?
538How far shall I ride?
538How in the world did you know about him?
538How much longer will it be before this bench is in the shade?
538How much will the Great Western Film Company pay me extra for furnishing the story I play in?
538How much?
538How soon you going back?
538How was that for a punch?
538How''n hell do_ I_ know?
538How''s Gil; outside the line, Pete? 538 How-- did it happen, Lite?"
538I noticed it at the time, but-- what was that brand, Gil?
538I see you''re writing in a part for that Lite Avery; how do you know he''d do it? 538 I suppose so; but why should I be doing you favors?
538If I could, I would n''t be out here; I''d be asleep, would n''t I? 538 If you do n''t think it''s important, you at least wo n''t object to going back with me?"
538If you really are anxious to go on making pictures, why do n''t you stop all that ranting and be sensible about it?
538Is that supposed to be me, on that plum- colored horse?
538Is there anybody else that you''d rather have?
538It never occurred to me that--"That the cattle were not as free as the hills?
538It was Uncle Carl, was n''t it?
538Just get in?
538Just to save time, will one of you boys go and bring my riding outfit from the stable?
538Lite, you wo n''t spoil everything now, just when I''m given this great opportunity, will you?
538Now, that''s a bright question to be asking me, ai n''t it?
538Or putting it another way, just how many dollars and cents did you spend in defending dad?
538Out where?
538Rode away from you, did she? 538 Say,"he leaned over and whispered in Lite''s ear,"where was Aleck at, all day yesterday?"
538See how she set that sorrel down on his haunches?
538Shall I be hurried and worried-- and shall I sob?
538Shall we help them out, Lite?
538Shall we snake''em out, Jean?
538Supposing you just got the saddle on, and your horse got startled and ran off? 538 Sure you wo n''t?"
538Sure? 538 That did n''t take me long, did it?"
538That you, Lite? 538 There''s a ride down the bluff that I want, and a roping-- say, can you throw a rope?"
538They''ve seen Gil abduct me or Muriel seven times in a perfectly impossible manner, and they-- oh, why do n''t you give them something REAL? 538 Uncle Carl knows?
538Uncle Carl, just how much did the Lazy A cost you?
538Uncle Carl? 538 Wait till you see Burns in action; handling bronks is easy compared to--""About where does the side line come, Pete?"
538Want me to go along with you?
538We''ll call it-- does it hurt if we use real names that we''ve a right to?
538Well anyway, we snaked them out of the sand, did n''t we, Lite?
538Well, what are you going to do about it?
538Well, what will we call it, then?
538Well, who was it, then?
538Well?
538What are you talking about? 538 What did you mean by proving-- what do you expect to prove?"
538What do you make of it?
538What do you mean by that? 538 What do you mean?
538What do you think I would mean? 538 What do you want to know for?"
538What for?
538What for?
538What has cropped up, anyway?
538What innocent man?
538What made you go in there?
538What made you say you saw him ride home? 538 What man was that?
538What was there queer about it? 538 What you going to call it a The Perils of the Prairie, say?"
538What you want? 538 What''s the matter over there?
538What''s the matter with a calf or something?
538What''s the matter?
538What''s wrong with that?
538Where are you going, Jean?
538Where did you get the idea, Jean?
538Where in the world did you light down from?
538Where you going to get the money?
538Where''s Carl at?
538Where''s Gay?
538Where''s Lite? 538 Where?"
538Who was it, Lite?
538Who was it?
538Who''s that? 538 Why did n''t you tell me?"
538Why do n''t they find out who saw him last?
538Why do n''t you ask your dad, if you are so anxious to know all about it?
538Why do n''t you make that girl stop butting in?
538Why do n''t you say what you want to say? 538 Why have you got that stubborn look to your mouth?
538Why should I have been there? 538 Why the doubt?
538Why, do n''t you like it?
538Work at something else, why do n''t you, and let me take her somewhere and show her how? 538 You cantankerous old tyrant,"she drawled in a whisper,"you do love to haze me around, do n''t you?
538You do n''t want me to sob, do you?
538You mean throw him?
538You must have bought out all the tin decorations they had in stock, did n''t you?
538You remember the roping and shooting science I taught you before you went off to school? 538 You want me to act just as if you were going to take a picture of it, do n''t you?"
538You?
538Your uncle? 538 ''J get that up- hill dash? 538 ARE YOU A SNEAK? 538 Ai n''t too proud to sit alongside a rough- neck puncher, are you?
538And how did they get here?
538And, Jean, will you be ready?"
538Are n''t they glad they''re out of the sand?"
538Are you going to get off that bench and out of the scene?"
538Are you in the habit of walking into a man''s house, for instance, and using his kitchen to make pictures without permission?
538Are-- aren''t you afraid of me, Gil?"
538Art, she felt dimly, must be very sure of his own position; was it because he was so close to the Mexican line?
538Ask your dad what it was about, why do n''t you?
538But what COULD be in it, if it were written at least a day before the terrible thing had happened?
538But-- what if it were true?
538By George, you ca n''t beat the real thing, can you?
538CHAPTER VII ROBERT GRANT BURNS GETS HELP"You know the brand, do n''t you?"
538CHAPTER XVII"WHY DON''T YOU GIVE THEM SOMETHING REAL?"
538CHAPTER XVIII A NEW KIND OF PICTURE"What you doing now?"
538Ca n''t you women do something besides stand there and howl?
538Can you get a long shot down the trail to the gate, Pete, and keep skyline in the scene?"
538Could I?"
538Dad did n''t say-- What did he do with it-- the letter?"
538Dad, who is paying with his life and all that''s worth while in life, for that murder that you deny--""What''s that?
538Did that mean that she had at last gone beyond the limit?
538Did you ever get scared in your life?"
538Did you send some one to help him with Pard?"
538Do n''t you know we''ve got to hurry?
538Do you call that straight sailing?"
538Do you know what that means?
538Do you know what they did then?
538Do you want me to be a braid- down- the- back girl in this?
538Do you want me to go and plaster my face with grease- paint, and become a mere common leading lady again?"
538Get me?
538Get me?"
538Get me?"
538Get that?"
538Get the idea?
538Got to hand it to''em for having plenty of good, clear sunlight, anyway?"
538Had he remembered the letter, and been uneasy because of what was in it?
538Had she done wrong to come away out here, away from her problem?
538Had she frightened him, somehow, with her bold declaration that she would not"let sleeping dogs lie"any longer?
538Had something happened to her?
538Has it been your custom to lead a man''s horses out of his stable whenever you chose, and use them for race pictures?"
538Have n''t I enough to drive me mad, without her?"
538Have you and Art been celebrating?"
538Have you ever roped off him?"
538How are you fixed for bedding?"
538How can you say that,--and think of dad?
538How is Lite, anyway?"
538How many feet was that scene, twenty- five?"
538How many times have I got to tell you a thing before it soaks into your mind?"
538How much will it take to square things with you?
538How much?
538How-- how does that sound to you, Jean?"
538I believe we could manage her all right, for what little she would have to do, do n''t you?"
538I have n''t shown any weak knees, have I?"
538I know it?
538I know--""What do you know?"
538I thought it was all straight sailing--""To send an innocent man to prison for it?
538I wonder if there''ll be time now?"
538I wonder what it can be; do n''t you know?"
538I wonder which would sell the best?
538I''ll expect you to be on hand when I want you; get that?"
538I-- I''ve--""What kind of a real story?"
538I-- don''t you think-- er-- those footsteps are terribly mysterious?"
538If I could find Art Osgood--""What''s he got to do with it?"
538If I knew anything like that, do you think I''d leave a stone unturned to prove it?
538If he comes to his senses before he has a stroke of apoplexy, will you show me how you run that thing?"
538If it had any bearing whatever upon the death of Johnny Croft, why had n''t her dad mentioned it?
538If it were her uncle, why was he so anxious to find it, after three years had passed?
538Left''em in the next gulch?
538Lite, do you know that Art Osgood came into town with his horse all in a lather of sweat, and took the afternoon train yesterday?
538Lite, when did you say that train left for Salt Lake?
538Now you see the difference, do n''t you?
538Now, how''s that?"
538Now, what do you reckon he''s doing down in Mexico?"
538Or a curls- around- the- face girl?"
538Or can put it over if he tries?
538Or did his vanity blind him to the risk he was taking?
538Or was he afraid she would ask her Uncle Carl, and find that there was no letter?
538Paying how?"
538Paying in Deer Lodge penitentiary--""Who?
538Ready?
538Ready?
538See what I mean?
538See what I mean?"
538See?
538Shall I''bust''him?"
538Shall we get out?"
538Should he let that scene stand, or should he order a"re- take"because Jean had, after all, done the dramatic part, the"remorse stuff"?
538Should she run down the stairs and go over there and march him across the line at the muzzle of her revolver?
538Step over here to one side, will you?"
538Sure your gun is loose so you can pull it quick?
538Then why does n''t he tell?
538Then why else should any one come at night and prowl all through the house, and never take anything?
538Want to go across with me and meet the general?
538Want to go over?"
538Was Robert Grant Burns going to FIRE her?
538Was he afraid he was going to contradict himself about the day or the errand?
538Was it her Uncle Carl who had come and searched the house at night, trying to find that letter?
538Was that what the man had been hunting for, those nights when he had come searching in that secret, stealthy way?
538Was the letter just a note about some ranch business?
538Was the man mad, to stand there publicly before the merciless, revealing eye of a motion- picture camera?
538Well, why did n''t you say so?
538Were you going to abduct me and lead me to the swarthy chief of your gang, or band, or whatever you call it?"
538What did he want to come away up here in this God- forsaken country for?
538What did she have to say, anyhow?"
538What do you want me to go back for?"
538What had he wanted or expected to find?
538What had she said to cause it?
538What had the man wanted or expected to find?
538What if it were but a trivial note, concerning a matter long since forgotten; a trivial note that had not the remotest bearing upon the murder?
538What if she had really seen and not imagined it?
538What if the letter were not in the chaps, after all?
538What is it,--that plot you were telling me awhile ago?"
538What is the idea, anyway?
538What is there TO it, more than he could get within an hour''s ride of Los Angeles?"
538What is there to boss me about?
538What made you do that?
538What was he after?
538What was her dad...?
538What was in the letter?
538What was it about?
538What was it?"
538What was the use?
538What were towns people doing here?
538What''s it all about?
538What''s the matter that you ca n''t sleep?"
538What''s the matter?"
538What, do n''t you like to have anybody talk about you being a movie- queen?
538What, she wondered, would Lite say to that?
538Where''d she take the cattle to?
538Where''d you say that spring was, Gil?
538Where''re your eyes?
538Where''s that water- bag, Lee?
538Who do you reckon done it, Lite?"
538Who would they put in your place, to do the stunts you''ve been doing?
538Why did n''t he tell me far enough ahead so I could rehearse the business?
538Why do n''t you do as he says?"
538Why do n''t you go out and see Carl Douglas, and see if you ca n''t get the use of the Lazy A for your pictures?
538Why do n''t you go to bed yourself?"
538Why had he come that first night?
538Why had n''t her Uncle Carl said something about it?
538Why?"
538Why?"
538Why?"
538Would you be willing to let me have the use of him-- at so much per?"
538YOUR FATHER?"
538You ai n''t with them, are you?"
538You could n''t run another step if you wanted to, and you''re cornered anyway, so you ca n''t get away; get me?
538You did it in real moving- picture style; did your fat Mr. Robert Grant Burns teach you how?
538You did n''t know?"
538You did n''t, did you?"
538You hear Gil coming, and you start forward and listen, and look,--how far can she turn, Pete; without showing too much of her face?"
538You looking for picture dope?
538You remember how you came down off that bluff, and how you roped me and jerked me down off the bank just as I''d got a bead on Lee?
538You see that two- story''dobe about half- way down the block,--the one with the Mexican flag over it?"
538You were n''t there, when it happened?"
538You''re in this game to make money, so why overlook a bet like that?"
538You-- you would n''t expect me to help you put on your make- up, would you?"
36170A half- share partnership?
36170A lot to talk about?
36170A smart gal, too, eh?
36170A-- a branch?
36170Accident?
36170Ai n''t Mallinsbee around?
36170Am I?
36170Amusin'', ai n''t it?
36170And how long''s this to go on for?
36170And if he beats your game?
36170And the five- cent- cigar man?
36170And the innocent''s ruin?
36170And the question?
36170And the result?
36170And then?
36170And this-- is part of the Union Grayling system?
36170And what about that other place-- that log and adobe shack you told me of?
36170And what did you use it for?
36170And you''ll play the game?
36170And you''ve come to Snake''s Fall to-- to make it?
36170And your cattle station?
36170Anti- Tobacco?
36170Anyway what could he do?
36170Are they mine?
36170Are they the----?
36170Are we?
36170Big? 36170 Bluff?
36170Buffalo Point?
36170Business?
36170But how long is-- it to last? 36170 But how?
36170But what about your souls?
36170But what does our poor Gordon know of women?
36170But what''s Gordon done?
36170But when your father knows what you''ve done? 36170 But why, if you''ll forgive me, around-- Snake''s Fall?"
36170But-- but do n''t you understand?
36170But-- that piece about yourself?
36170Ca n''t we look around the house while the kettle boils?
36170Can I believe my ears? 36170 Can you let me have a room?"
36170Can you tell it me now?
36170Caribou?
36170Charity?
36170Chief grafter, eh? 36170 Criminals?"
36170Deserved? 36170 Did he tell you anything?"
36170Did n''t I say he was just a scallywag? 36170 Did you ever know anybody that was really healthy who started in to worry how they were living?
36170Do I?
36170Do n''t you see, dear? 36170 Do we need that yellow reptile present?"
36170Do we wash things or do we just pack''em up?
36170Do you believe in miracles?
36170Do you need that sent off, sir?
36170Do you need to ask me that?
36170Do you need to worry that way, Mr. Mallinsbee? 36170 Do you think you could get me a-- five- cent cigar, Harding?"
36170Do? 36170 Do?
36170Dovecote?
36170Eh?
36170Europe, sir?
36170Fixed anything?
36170Fool? 36170 Get through your business at-- the office?"
36170Go? 36170 Got back, Silas?"
36170Graft? 36170 Graft?"
36170Harding, have you ever smoked a-- five- cent cigar?
36170Has Slosson abated his terms?
36170Has he been here to- day?
36170Have I?
36170Have you any reason to show why sentence should not be passed upon you? 36170 He closed the deal?"
36170He''ll never consent to-- to----"Our marriage? 36170 He''s evidently not married, so-- what do you intend to do about it while Mr. Carbhoy is on the coast?"
36170His father?
36170How do you know my first name?
36170How do you say, gentlemen? 36170 How far out are the coalfields?"
36170How old is your-- Gracie?
36170How''s Miss Hazel this morning?
36170How''s our junior partner?
36170How? 36170 I did?"
36170I do n''t guess it''s any real sign of health, mentally or physically, when folks have to start''anti''societies, eh?
36170I guess Mallinsbee knows what this means-- for him?
36170I s''pose girls are n''t of much account with you? 36170 I s''pose the boom will come big when it does start?"
36170I shall be beaten?
36170I suppose one hundred thousand dollars would be nothing to make if-- things go right?
36170I suppose there''s quite a town there now?
36170I trust, sir, I''ve given satisfaction?
36170I wonder what trouble it is?
36170I''m not clever, but-- I did think of it, did n''t I? 36170 If I asked you?"
36170Immorality? 36170 In the name of all that''s crazy what''s-- what''s the meaning of it?
36170In what?
36170Is it graft?
36170Is it sunstroke, or-- or----?
36170Is it that way?
36170Is it what we guessed?
36170Is it''yes''?
36170Is it?
36170Is n''t he just splendid?
36170Is n''t it a fairy- book picture? 36170 Is n''t that just a man?
36170Is the court to be questioned upon its powers?
36170It is n''t always so with men-- where the making of money is concerned, is it?
36170It makes a difference, does n''t it? 36170 It''s dead safe Steve has n''t sent a copy to Slosson?"
36170It''s-- all yours?
36170James Carbhoy''s your-- father?
36170Kick?
36170Kickin''? 36170 Lose?
36170Mallinsbee?
36170Mallinsbee?
36170Maybe you do n''t reckon I''ve got sense?
36170Meracles?
36170More to you than all-- this?
36170Movements? 36170 Must he remain?"
36170Must it? 36170 Never been saddled?"
36170No? 36170 No?"
36170Nor has your father----"No right? 36170 Not?"
36170Nothing doing?
36170Now how on earth do I know where I was going? 36170 Now you have n''t got it?"
36170Office?
36170Oh-- you agree?
36170Owe?
36170Partly?
36170Play?
36170Pretty? 36170 Put that way it-- sounds rotten, Dad, does n''t it?"
36170Really? 36170 Ride home?
36170Right? 36170 Satisfaction?"
36170Say, Dad, was there ever such a father as I''ve got?
36170Say, Dad, what in the name of all creation has brought you here?
36170Say, I have n''t said anything wrong, have I?
36170Say, did you ever feel a perfect, idiotic fool? 36170 Say, do n''t it beat all, Miss Hazel, stealin''your own father?
36170Say, is n''t it wonderful? 36170 Say, is n''t that real bright?"
36170Say, is n''t there a village?
36170Say, is n''t this a great place?
36170Say, we''re just two real good friends, Mr. Van Henslaer, are n''t we? 36170 Say, will smoke worry you any, young lady?"
36170Say, you made a talk about an''innocent''s''life gettin''all mussed up?
36170Say,he demanded at last,"why does the man want options?
36170Say,he observed, addressing the ruffian beside him, who was busily chewing and spitting,"you do n''t mind if I smoke, do you?"
36170Say? 36170 Secretary?"
36170See the crookedness of that kid? 36170 Shall I get on him first?"
36170Shall we eat first or----?
36170She was waiting for that skunk? 36170 Sign here, eh?"

36170That''s Mallinsbee''s-- word?
36170The fainting-- really?
36170The old dad? 36170 The proprietor of the-- hotel?"
36170Then what are we to do?
36170Then where''s the argument?
36170Then who is it, sir?
36170Then you saw him stop me on Main Street yesterday?
36170Then-- to- night?
36170Then? 36170 There''s that darned fire- escape out back, right down from his room, an''what man has ever locked his barn in these parts?
36170There, what do you think of it?
36170They treating you-- right?
36170Think of it? 36170 Tired?

36170What d''you mean?
36170What did I tell you, Mr. Van Henslaer?
36170What do you mean?
36170What does them big coal seams tell you? 36170 What happened-- out there?"
36170What in thunder is he chasin''caribou for when there''s things to be settled once and for all that wo n''t keep? 36170 What in thunder?
36170What is it?
36170What is it?
36170What makes you think that way?
36170What nursing home will you send Gordon to when he gets back?
36170What place is this?
36170What were you coming to-- see me for?
36170What would it be worth to you to be able to read his code?
36170What''s Gordon done?
36170What''s amiss with Snake''s Fall?
36170What''s happening?
36170What''s the President of the Union Grayling and Ukataw Railroad got to do with it?
36170What''s the matter, momma?
36170What''s the matter?
36170What''s-- the real champagne?
36170What-- what are you going to do-- then?
36170Whatever will he say when he knows?
36170Wher''is the bloomin''depot to be? 36170 Where are we?"
36170Where is that''sharp''? 36170 Where is the boy?"
36170Which is the best way?
36170White man?
36170Who is she?
36170Who says that?
36170Who thinks you a-- fool?
36170Who was that rotten- looking''sharp''you were yarning to when I came in?
36170Who-- who do you think has done this?
36170Why did you say there was?
36170Why not? 36170 Why not?
36170Why not?
36170Why should n''t I do this? 36170 Why six months?"
36170Why?
36170Will Slosson be around soon?
36170With a name like''Van Henslaer''--you ai n''t Irish?
36170Worried?
36170Worse?
36170Would it?
36170You ai n''t for Snake''s Fall?
36170You ai n''t going to send that?
36170You can read it?
36170You had an office?
36170You have absolute power to deal in Mallinsbee''s interest?
36170You just need to copy the message out? 36170 You mean-- with your father a prisoner?"
36170You really want me to do-- all this?
36170You said you guessed how the scrap would end?
36170You said-- a half- share?
36170You say Mr. Gordon''s married?
36170You see, we have become sort of partners in most everything, have n''t we? 36170 You were educated in Boston?"
36170You will-- need a man when you come back, sir?
36170You will?
36170You wo n''t need to disfigure my record?
36170You''re going to-- marry her?
36170You''re lookin''kind of-- happy?
36170You''re thinkin''something?
36170You''re thinking of the Buffalo Point scheme?
36170You''re wonderin''''bout that patch?
36170You''re-- going to pay it?
36170You''ve sold?
36170You''ve told your mother, Gordon?
36170You''ve-- made-- good?
36170You, Hazel?
36170You-- don''t think me-- a-- fool?
36170You-- mean our folks have located our whereabouts and-- are going to rescue us?
36170You-- would keep me here a prisoner-- indefinitely?
36170You? 36170 Your father-- the-- millionaire-- James Carbhoy?"
36170A lady?
36170A little of the''48 brandy, sir?"
36170After all, what did it matter?
36170After all, why should she attempt to bluff him?
36170An oyster cocktail?
36170An''you''ll guarantee that scrap up?"
36170And when it came what-- what then?
36170And who were the attacking party?
36170And would he use it?
36170And yet---- Had he intended this stake as his last?
36170And you,"he gazed inquiringly into the man''s strong face,"you began it from-- the beginning?"
36170And your father is----?"
36170And, anyway, what was the meaning of the rise in prices at that end?
36170Any of youse?"
36170Anything else, sir?"
36170Anyway, you made it plain I''m to look after the-- prisoner?"
36170Are n''t we, Daddy, dear?"
36170Are they goin''to pay?
36170Are we for bed?"
36170Are you needing anything, or-- will you get busy?"
36170Are you scared any?
36170Besides, now you''ve completed your-- graft, what about your poor long- suffering prisoners?
36170Bluff?
36170But I ca n''t mail direct, or she''ll know where I am, see?
36170But how do we stand up there?
36170But how?
36170But how?
36170But most of all-- why?
36170But what about saddle horses for a rapid bolt?
36170But what are you doing around-- now?"
36170But you did n''t ask me to ride all these miles in to-- to say just all these nice things to me, Gordon?
36170But----""But-- what?"
36170Can I help any?"
36170Can you doubt?
36170Can you hire me a rig?"
36170Can you make a pile?"
36170Can you show me a detail of human nature which is truly honest?
36170Caribou?
36170Compensations?
36170Could it be that----?
36170D''you know, if you were to ask me just to pass the salt at supper it would sound to me like the taste of ice- cream?"
36170Did his father intend to-- kick him out?
36170Did the governor leave me one?
36170Did you ever know a kid take his physic without the promise of candy, or the certainty it would come his way?
36170Did you ever see a kid around his parents?
36170Do you get me?
36170Do you get me?
36170Do you get the lesson of it?
36170Do you know what would happen?
36170Do you know, in this thing I''m dead honest when I''m dealing with honest folk, and I''m a''sharp''when I''m dealing with''sharps''?
36170Do you need me to tell_ you_ of it?
36170Do you think we''ll get back to our folks?
36170Do?
36170Does he think I''m going to wait around while he gets chasin''--caribou?"
36170Does it remain-- anyway?
36170Does that tell you anything?
36170Dreams?
36170Eh?
36170Ever played''draw''with a one- eyed man?
36170Five thousand dollars, is n''t it?
36170Fool?
36170For-- as long as we live?"
36170Fortune?"
36170Get me, Peter?
36170Get me?
36170Get me?
36170Get me?
36170Get that?
36170Had Harker sent up and was this a sheriff''s posse?
36170Had he a revolver?
36170Had he been bought over?
36170Had he been dealt with, too?
36170Had he been handled by these folk, or had he doubled?
36170Had he not fought for her as those warriors of old would have done?
36170Hazel-- what?
36170He never said a word?"
36170He owns all the land along the railroad, does n''t he?"
36170He''s got everything ready?"
36170He''s''Gordon,''eh?"
36170Here, or yonder to the west at Buffalo Point?
36170Hev a smoke?"
36170Hev''you got two eyes to your head which do n''t convey no meaning to your brain?
36170How I stand?
36170How are you going to save us all from the consequences of your evil ways?
36170How are you?
36170How could he measure his wits against the wits of such land speculators as he saw about him?
36170How could it be otherwise?
36170How could there be?
36170How did he get there?
36170How did you gain control of the Union Grayling and Ukataw Railroad?
36170How do you stand with the folks up there?"
36170How does he do it?
36170How far is that father justified in doping his son''s liquor, so he wo n''t lie awake at nights planning to roll him for his wad next morning?
36170How had he gone?
36170How has it been made?
36170How in the world have you got into the hands of these ruffians?"
36170How on earth could I expect you to ride in a stranger''s buggy, with said stranger on the business end of the lines?
36170How on earth did he get there?
36170How on earth was he to make one hundred thousand dollars in six months?
36170How was he to turn this thing to account?
36170How''ud you fancy stealin''Mr. Mallinsbee?
36170How- do?"
36170How?
36170How?
36170How?"
36170How?"
36170How?"
36170I do n''t just see----""How?
36170I guess I''m the luckiest feller alive winning her for a wife, eh?"
36170I s''pose codes can be read, though?
36170I s''pose you fancy it''s a sure thing?"
36170I wonder what Slosson''s thinking?"
36170If Slosson insulted her----?
36170If you ca n''t agree?"
36170Immoral?
36170Immoral?
36170Insults?
36170Is it a bet?"
36170Is it a bet?"
36170Is there much more of it?"
36170Is this so?"
36170Jump right in, and I''ll drive you-- where is it?"
36170Makes you laugh, does n''t it?
36170May I read them?
36170Maybe you''re not used to the prairie?"
36170Must it end then, Hazel?"
36170No?
36170No?
36170No?
36170Now if you tell me-- what''s the matter?"
36170Now?
36170Office?
36170One of those''multiflavums''of yours you keep for drummers?"
36170Or was it a broad river of grass?
36170Peter wise?"
36170Quite a piece of money, eh?
36170Sacrifice?"
36170Say, I s''pose you figure this is a great place to make money?
36170Say, I wonder how much sense they reckon they''ve seen in me?"
36170Say, ai n''t the gal you fancy the biggest graft of all?
36170Say, ca n''t it be partners-- for life?"
36170Say, can you beat it?
36170Say, do n''t you sort of feel like a criminal?
36170Say, do you know what it means to a kid when he''s dared to do some fool trick that may cost his life?
36170Say, do you think that little girl of yours and her father have gone to bed yet?"
36170Say, ever heard the name of Carbhoy?
36170Say, have you figured out how we stand?
36170Say, how can we be sure till we''ve fixed things the way we want''em?
36170Say, how did you come to be driving me?"
36170Say, is he smart, or is he just a-- crook?"
36170Say, was he here this morning?
36170Say, what''s going to happen next?"
36170Say, why were you riding in to the ranch-- at dead of night?"
36170Say, you ai n''t got paralysis of the arm yet?
36170Say, you do n''t figure to sink dollars that way yourself?
36170Say, you ever tried to hold a slimy eel?"
36170Say, you''re sure-- sure of things?"
36170Say, you''ve shown your ability to spend that amount; can you show your ability to make it?"
36170Say----""What?"
36170Say----""You mean I''ll get hung up for-- ten months?"
36170See?
36170See?
36170See?
36170See?
36170See?
36170See?"
36170See?"
36170Sid Blake?"
36170So it''s''Gordon,''eh?
36170Sort o''meracle, you''d say?
36170Spoil a dinner like that with--''48 brandy?
36170Squab on toast, or a little pheasant?
36170Still, why not?
36170Sure?
36170Surely his own exertions as a business man was a broken reed to---- What about failure?
36170That all your baggage?"
36170That all?"
36170That clear?
36170That do n''t make him out a fool, does it?"
36170That you, Charlie?
36170That you, Harker?
36170That''s about his opinion of me, eh?"
36170The first is, is it a fact that the President of the Union Grayling and Ukataw Railroad is your guest at the present moment?
36170The game''s played out, and-- we quit?"
36170The other was how could they hope to deal with the Union Grayling without my authority?
36170Then he went on rapidly--"What baggage do you suggest for a six months''trip?"
36170Then he went on, with a suggestion of doubt in his tone,"You deal with his business-- confidential?"
36170Then she added playfully:"What''s ruffled the atmosphere of our-- dovecote?"
36170Then what was the purpose to be served?
36170Then where are you?
36170Then with an unusual diffidence,"Coffee, sir?
36170Then, with a dramatic touch,"Say, Mr. Carbhoy, do you guess we''ll ever-- get out of this?
36170Then--"Say, what''s your stake?"
36170They''re hitting it up good, eh?"
36170True?
36170True?"
36170Was Slosson at its head?
36170Was he given a free hand?
36170Was not this sufficient to make it a day of days?
36170Was there any thought in the world so inspiring as that which had the support of the most wonderful creature he had ever met for its inspiration?
36170Was there ever a more perfect imbecile?
36170Was there ever anything more immoral than modern finance?
36170Was there ever such a fool trick?
36170Was this so?
36170Well, if his corporation turns him down, how do we stand?
36170Well?"
36170What about sweets, sir, and what wine will you take?"
36170What could he do?
36170What could they achieve with regard to the railroad without his authority?
36170What did he know about land?
36170What did he know?
36170What do you mean to do?"
36170What does it matter to me what I may have to put up with if I can help him out?
36170What else, unless it''s coal, would they talk in Snake''s Fall?
36170What else?
36170What had become of Slosson?
36170What is the danger I''m running?"
36170What more could a man desire?
36170What power of mischief had driven him to charge his highly respectable father with graft?
36170What then?"
36170What was his name--"Van Henslaer"?
36170What was the meaning of it?
36170What was the use?
36170What was this wild scheme he had suddenly conceived, almost the first moment he was left in sole control?
36170What was to follow-- failure?
36170What would Gordon''s father do?
36170What would he have?
36170What would we have worth living for?
36170What would you give him?"
36170What''s that?
36170What''s the danger?
36170What''s the next play, Miss?"
36170What''s the use in settin''around here talking murder when the plums are lyin''around?
36170What''s the use?
36170What''s this?
36170What''s----""The coalpits?
36170What, these speculators asked themselves, and each other, did the incident portend, what had the future in store?
36170What?"
36170When would that"kick"come, and where would it be delivered?
36170Where does obligation lie?
36170Where was he?
36170Where''s Mallinsbee?"
36170Where''s your enthusiasm?
36170Where''s your joy of life?
36170Where''s your romance, and-- and spirit of hope?"
36170Where?"
36170Which is it?
36170Who could he be?
36170Who said''lose''?"
36170Who was he?
36170Who was he?"
36170Who''s your friend?"
36170Why not?
36170Why should he not cut across to the westward and intercept her on the way from the ranch?
36170Why should n''t a daughter be allowed to make her own mess of things, and later on, when she collects sense, clean it up again the best she knows?
36170Why, what was there to stop him, sir?
36170Will he fall for Slosson''s game to get us where he wants us?
36170Will he stand for his crazy buying?
36170Will you come in on the wildest, most crazy scheme you ever heard of?
36170Will you come in?"
36170Will you need your polo kit, sir, and your----?"
36170Will you-- shall it be-- partners-- always?"
36170With what object?
36170Working late, eh?
36170Would it be the reply he desired, or an uncompromising negative?
36170Would n''t you help him if you had such a dear, quaint old daddy as I have?
36170Would n''t you rather have him?"
36170Yes-- how?
36170You carry my grips?
36170You get that?
36170You see, Gordon''s not very bright-- is he?"
36170You see, you belong to me, do n''t you?"
36170You wo n''t do so bad yourself?"
36170You''ve only one of the boys here?
36170You?"
36170You?"
36170he cried furiously;"and he''s still alive?"
33458A real camp?
33458About what?
33458Alone?
33458Am I to make remarks?
33458Am I?
33458And a man of some ability, I take it?
33458And feel more?
33458And the fifth?
33458And yet you can share in your father''s exterminating vengeance as he sweeps ten thousand redmen into their graves?
33458Any news from the Willow?
33458Are any of the head men here?
33458Are n''t you afraid they will do Tony harm if they meet him?
33458Are n''t you going to sleep?
33458Are they as bad as that?
33458Are they? 33458 Are they?"
33458Are we to have a procession?
33458Are we too late?
33458Are you Osborne Lawson? 33458 Are you a sheep- man?"
33458Are you awake, Major?
33458Are you complaining? 33458 Are you going to let him know who you are?"
33458Are you hurt?
33458Are you not the general?
33458Are you on special duty, Captain Maynard, or riding in the park?
33458Are you ready to go now?
33458Are you responsible for their coming?
33458Are you the Streeter located on the reservation itself?
33458Are you the boss here?
33458Are you the daughter of ex- Senator Brisbane?
33458Are you the doctor?
33458Are you the turnkey?
33458Are you waiting for something to go off?
33458Are you, Jack? 33458 But I expected you to bring soldiers; how did you escape?
33458But I want to ask you-- could father be of any help if I telegraphed him to come?
33458But how did they drop onto me? 33458 But the dog?"
33458But what are they doing here-- that''s Tetong land, is n''t it?
33458But what good would it do?
33458Ca n''t I say,''Thank you''?
33458Ca n''t you stop this?
33458Ca n''t you understand?
33458Can I do anything further, Captain? 33458 Can she speak English?"
33458Can we help?
33458Can you carry out the figure? 33458 Can you send word to him?"
33458Captain, what is the news?
33458Deliciously-- but did you hear some one singing just before sunrise?
33458Did I? 33458 Did he really say that?"
33458Did he see the sheriff?
33458Did n''t hear the wolves, did you, pet?
33458Did n''t think the reform administration could get along without you, did you?
33458Did n''t you make it up?
33458Did they release the old man?
33458Did you do all of these beautiful things?
33458Did you ever see the old man again?
33458Did you throw rocks at him?
33458Do n''t you see I must not wear your ring till I promise all you ask?
33458Do n''t you suppose I saw it? 33458 Do they?"
33458Do we women go on the pay- rolls as assistant agents?
33458Do you believe in the allotment?
33458Do you come as an officer of the law? 33458 Do you defy my authority now?
33458Do you hear that, Osborne?
33458Do you know what I think? 33458 Do you know who committed the murder?"
33458Do you mean this studio?
33458Do you mean you knew the kind of a man he was when you put him there?
33458Do you really think there is danger?
33458Do you speak now as an artist?
33458Do you suppose I''m going to submit to this without protest? 33458 Do you think so?
33458Do you think you''d better know?
33458Does he stand in, or is it just gall?
33458Does my necktie kiver my collar- button?
33458Does that excuse him? 33458 Excuse me, wo n''t you?"
33458Father, what has happened?
33458Friend of the agent?
33458Friend, what is the matter?
33458George, I wonder if we will ever spend another winter in Washington?
33458Goin''far?
33458Has the sheriff come for some one in particular?
33458Have the Brisbanes gone?
33458Have you a warrant?
33458Have you exhausted Indian subjects?
33458Have you heard the cheering? 33458 Have you made a search for him?
33458Have you no sense of decency?
33458Have you seen Miss Brisbane?
33458Have you? 33458 He says,''Yes, how much?''"
33458He''s a dandy to rub it into an Injun, do n''t you think?
33458Hello, Gray Wolf, you old sardine; want to try another horse- race?
33458How are things?
33458How could we live without the Indian question? 33458 How do women get off, anyway?"
33458How do you do, Colonel Maynard?
33458How do you know it?
33458How do you like it?
33458How does Mr. Streeter happen to be so snugly settled on Indian land?
33458How is his health?
33458How is your wound? 33458 How long ago was this?"
33458How long will you remain Indian agent?
33458How was he?
33458How- de- do? 33458 I am-- what can I do for you?"
33458I belong to the world of Light and Might--"And I to the world of Right-- what about that?
33458I did not-- what is it?
33458I do n''t mean your change of heart towards me; I have a ring to express that; this is to express your change of heart towards--"Towards Injuns?
33458I forgot-- are there rattlesnakes here?
33458I suppose you are tired and would like to go to bed?
33458I suppose you''ve come to teach these ragamuffins?
33458I thought cattlemen never had milk?
33458I thought they liked to be treated as equals?
33458I thought you liked Mr. Sennett? 33458 I wonder how it will all turn out?
33458I wonder if Cal is a traitor?
33458I wonder if I have done him an injustice?
33458I wonder what''s his hurry?
33458I''ll ask them to move it, if you wish,returned Elsie, and when Jennie came in she said:"Are n''t you a little nervous to- night?"
33458If a feller lives long enough and keeps his mouth shut and his eyes open he''ll learn a powerful heap, wo n''t he? 33458 If you are not free, who is?
33458Is Crane still asleep?
33458Is Cut Finger here?
33458Is Senator Brisbane and party still here?
33458Is he your uncle?
33458Is it possible that I once agonized over this trig little man?
33458Is n''t he a pirate? 33458 Is n''t it a foolish thing not to have a telegraph line connecting the fort and the agency?"
33458Is n''t it delicious to be a little speck of life in this limitless world of darkness? 33458 Is n''t it good to breathe this air again?
33458Is n''t this glorious? 33458 Is the Major goin''to come with Cut Finger?"
33458Is the hearing over?
33458Is the oven hot? 33458 Is the steam turned on?"
33458Is there anything I can do to help you reach the station to- morrow? 33458 It would be rather curious if I_ should_ become increasingly impatient, would n''t it?
33458It''s getting mighty serious, do n''t you think so?
33458It''s tragic, is n''t it?
33458It''s worrisome business being Indian agent, after all, is n''t it, George?
33458It_ is_ absurd, is n''t it? 33458 It_ is_ wonderful, is n''t it-- that they should have lived here all those years without knowing or caring for the white man''s world?"
33458Kind of a Ward McAllister, hey?
33458Lawson, do you know what you are? 33458 Life is n''t a bit simple when you are grown up, is it?"
33458Little Father, it is good to see you; you are not hurt? 33458 Made good use o''your time, did n''t ye?"
33458May I drive?
33458May I not see you again?
33458May I see you again before I leave for the West?
33458Miss Colson, did you ever live on a ranch, miles from any other stove- pipe?
33458Mr. Lawson, I assume the sheriff is as tired as the rest of us; will you show him the bed you were kind enough to offer?
33458Mr. Streeter, you are a cattleman, I believe?
33458Must you give him up to that stupid sheriff?
33458New?
33458No-- did you?
33458No; has he left you?
33458No; when?
33458Now what is it all about?
33458Now, Captain, what are you going to do?
33458Now, Captain, what can I do for you?
33458Now,said Maynard,"what''s it all about?
33458Of course you will not?
33458Oh, George, does n''t it seem impossible that in a few moments the mistress of that great Washington home will descend the car- steps to meet us?
33458Oh, Major, are we in danger? 33458 Oh, he does, does he?"
33458Oh, must you? 33458 On what authority do you make this demand?"
33458One is your sister Jennie, of course; but who is the other? 33458 Papa, are you asleep?"
33458Pay money?
33458Perhaps you''d like to go back to the agency?
33458Politics?
33458Quite aside from your duty?
33458Rather good for a ragamuffin, do n''t you think?
33458Say, is this a dream?
33458See here, Lawson, you were out there on the Fort Smith reservation, were n''t you? 33458 See that chain of peaks?
33458See the tents?
33458Shall I send a courier out to meet the troops and hurry them on?
33458Shall we go in with a dash?
33458Shall we go now?
33458She still needs a chaperon, does she?
33458She your wife?
33458So I will-- only you wo n''t forget my gray hairs, will you?
33458So soon? 33458 Stranger, what might I call you?"
33458Suppose I refuse to go, would that be the best of all?
33458Suppose a wolf or a redman should come?
33458Suppose you were to resign, what would you do?
33458Sweep them from the earth,he snarled, when asked"What will we do with the Indians?"
33458Tell me, how did you first become interested in these people?
33458Tell us all about it? 33458 That means we must all go?"
33458That so? 33458 That''s the woman of it, is n''t it?"
33458The how- many?
33458Then why not come back?
33458There really is danger, then?
33458They would n''t dare to begin shooting, would they?
33458Think you''re the nigger that rings the bell, do n''t ye?
33458This makes the dear old Fort seem beautiful, does n''t it?
33458To- night?
33458Very well, Major; when may I look for you to return?
33458Was your mother French? 33458 Well, Captain, how are you this morning?"
33458Well, I should say yes-- carry all your cheek right with ye, do n''t ye?
33458Well, now that your hearing is over, suppose you get into our carriage and go home with us to lunch?'' 33458 Well, suppose I am?"
33458Well, what''s the up- shot?
33458Well, why not? 33458 What I ca n''t understand, Lawson, is this: How can you pull up and leave such a home?"
33458What are you going to do?
33458What can I do against this implacable town? 33458 What can I do for you, gentlemen?"
33458What can we do? 33458 What can you do?"
33458What chance has a woman with yards of cloth binding her? 33458 What did I understand your name was?"
33458What did he do that for?
33458What did he say?
33458What did the scouts say?
33458What did you go in there for?
33458What do you mean by ousting''em?
33458What do you mean?
33458What do you mean?
33458What does it explain?
33458What has happened? 33458 What have you-- or I-- ever done that was not selfish?"
33458What is all that?
33458What is goin''on out there? 33458 What is going on, Captain?
33458What is he there for?
33458What is it, Parker?
33458What is it?
33458What is that man on the hill for?
33458What is the matter with the girl?
33458What is the matter?
33458What is the matter?
33458What is the matter?
33458What is the meaning of all this?
33458What is the meaning of those little towers of stone?
33458What is the use of shutting us in the house? 33458 What is this?"
33458What makes you think so?
33458What name?
33458What news have you?
33458What of that? 33458 What ought he to do?"
33458What shall I do?
33458What shall we do?
33458What will the fourth be?
33458What would you have done if they had not come?
33458What you got to say about it?
33458What''s all this-- a council of war?
33458What''s going on here; who''s doin''this shootin''?
33458What''s the programme for to- day?
33458What''s up-- what''s up?
33458When are they to reach here? 33458 When do you go-- actually?"
33458When do you go?
33458Where are the Parkers?
33458Where are the Parkers?
33458Where are they now?
33458Where are you going? 33458 Where are your young men?"
33458Where did it seem to come from?
33458Where did you leave the Senator?
33458Where do you hail from, anyway?
33458Where do you live?
33458Where from?
33458Where have you been, Mary?
33458Where is Crow? 33458 Where is Red Wolf?"
33458Where is Uncle Sennett?
33458Where is my paint- box? 33458 Where is she?"
33458Where is the Captain? 33458 Where is the mother?"
33458Where is your son?
33458Where to?
33458Where was this man when he disappeared?
33458Where were you twenty minutes ago?
33458Where? 33458 Where?"
33458Which way will the cattlemen come from?
33458Who are they?
33458Who are you?
33458Who is Calvin?
33458Who said pork- and- beans?
33458Who was he?
33458Who was he?
33458Who''s there?
33458Why break up? 33458 Why did n''t you follow out my orders?"
33458Why did n''t you tell me?
33458Why do you come to see us so early?
33458Why does Mr. Lawson use that tone with Miss Brisbane-- are they engaged?
33458Why is this?
33458Why not all assemble at''the parsonage''and I''ll bring them there?
33458Why not, dear?
33458Why not?
33458Why not?
33458Why not?
33458Why should I dream in that way of_ him_?
33458Why should I? 33458 Why should n''t I be when you are going away?
33458Why should n''t he be retained?
33458Why should you? 33458 Why submerge them?
33458Why, what is going to happen?
33458Why?
33458Why?
33458Will he return so soon?
33458Will you exhibit in Washington this winter?
33458Will you go home and do as I have commanded? 33458 Will you take my arm?"
33458Will you? 33458 Wilson, where is the Mud Spring?"
33458Wilson, who is over from the Willow Creek?
33458With bad news?
33458Without any business, this time? 33458 Wo n''t you come to dinner with me?"
33458Would n''t that be something like the work Millet did? 33458 Would you like to look at my sketches?"
33458Yes; what is it?
33458You admit the sheep were on the reservation, then?
33458You are bent on fighting me, are you?
33458You are dead set against the removal of the Tetongs?
33458You are sure you understand-- this is no binding promise on my part?
33458You begin to feel that? 33458 You belong here?"
33458You did? 33458 You do n''t think there will be trouble?"
33458You mean the erstwhile Senator?
33458You never can tell what your best friend will do, can you? 33458 You really are interested in those ugly creatures?
33458You rode among his sheep?
33458You sabbe?
33458You speak of needing guns-- there is n''t any danger, I hope?
33458You think I ought to go, then?
33458You think the white man the aggressor in this land question?
33458You think you know what my interests are?
33458You were n''t looking for the job of crossing the range yourself, were you?
33458You will be very lonely then; what will you do?
33458You would hold, then, that an officer of the army has a right to convictions?
33458You would n''t infer that Parker had ever had a Parisian education, would you?
33458You''d take his word against mine, would you?
33458You''ll miss their market for your beef, wo n''t you?
33458You''ve been in Washington before?
33458You''ve been ridin''hard,said Winters;"what''s your rush?
33458Young man, do you know who you are fighting?
33458Your heart would bleed to see it drown?
33458_ Do_ you think we can go home now?
33458''Does Mr. Blank, of New York, endorse Captain Curtis?''
33458''He''s a friend of yours, is n''t he?''
33458''How are they made?
33458''What are his plans?''
33458''Whom do you mean?''
33458***** As the Parkers rose to go, Lawson approached Elsie and asked in a low voice:"_ Are_ you going home to the mess- house to- night?
33458--he indicated the room with a sweep of his hand--"and go out on the painted desert or down the Chaco and swelter in the heat like a horned toad?"
33458A quick, sharp voice cried out:"Whose hat is that?
33458After a moment she thought:"Why am I here?
33458Ai n''t that right?"
33458Am I the assistant driver, or am I not?
33458And Lawson, with equal ceremony, replied, in Dakota:"I am well, my brother; how is it with you?"
33458And her father?
33458And you-- you are Apache?"
33458Anything doin''?"
33458Are you crazy?"
33458Are you going to live here?"
33458Are you hungry?"
33458Are you hurt?
33458Are you sure this man was murdered?"
33458As Jennie met her brother a few moments later, she exclaimed,"Is n''t he handsome?"
33458As she crowded the gem into his lax hand he said:"Why, what does this mean, Elsie Bee Bee?"
33458As she laid down her brushes and took up her hat she said, gleefully:"Father wo n''t be able to ask me what I know about war-- will he?
33458As they rose from the table, Curtis turned to Elsie:"Would you like to go with me to make a tour of the camp?"
33458Born there?"
33458Brisbane broke his silence by saying:"I infer you''re on the side of the redskin?"
33458Brisbane?"
33458But Parker asked, a little anxiously,"You think it safe?"
33458Ca n''t we hurry them up?"
33458Ca n''t we warn him?"
33458Ca n''t you hear them?
33458Ca n''t you remain over the holidays?
33458Ca n''t you take time to breathe and pack up?"
33458Ca n''t you wait till we go-- this afternoon?"
33458Calling his faithful Crane''s Voice, he said:"Crane, will you go to Pinon City?"
33458Can it be Yarpe''s gang?
33458Can you go now?"
33458Can you go?"
33458Can you peel potatoes?"
33458Can you travel?
33458Could n''t persuade you to stay here, could I?"
33458Could there be any greater happiness than to stand by his side, helping to render a dying, captive race happier-- healthier?
33458Could you find time to sit for me?"
33458Curtis heard one man ask:"Where''s Charley?
33458Curtis, relieved of part of his anxiety, then asked:"How is the Senator?"
33458Did n''t he look beautiful as he smiled?
33458Did that determine your course with regard to them?"
33458Did they howl?"
33458Did you enjoy the dance?"
33458Did you find the cattlemen gone?"
33458Did you have any trouble?"
33458Did you hear Yarpe and his men pass?"
33458Did you hear the singing?"
33458Did you see the intensity of his pose?
33458Did you sleep?"
33458Did you sleep?"
33458Did you suggest it?"
33458Did your mother live to enjoy her husband''s success?"
33458Do n''t tell us any more than is proper, Captain, but-- how do you find his accounts?"
33458Do n''t you remember Captain Curtis?"
33458Do n''t you see that I am right?"
33458Do n''t you see?
33458Do n''t you smoke, Captain?
33458Do we breakfast with the sheriff this morning?"
33458Do we camp there?"
33458Do you care for me a little?"
33458Do you consider that reasonable?"
33458Do you feel that you have made your demonstration?"
33458Do you intend to ride with us?"
33458Do you know of any one who has threatened to do this thing?"
33458Do you know what''s happened to you?"
33458Do you mean about sleeping in a tent?"
33458Do you need all those guns now?"
33458Do you remember how she was last fall?
33458Do you suppose they had names for hills like this, and were fond of them like white people?"
33458Do you think he ought to go alone?"
33458Do you?"
33458Do?
33458Elk said,"Joe?"
33458Elsie asked,"What does he say?"
33458Elsie came in a little later to say, sympathetically:"Are you tired, Captain Curtis?"
33458Elsie cried out,"You would n''t do that?"
33458Had her notions of the"brave and noble pioneers fighting the wild beast and the savage"arisen from ignorance of their true nature?
33458Had they always been as narrow, as bigoted, as relentless, and as greedy as these articles hinted at?
33458Has there been something between you and Captain Maynard in the past?"
33458Have n''t you hammered it into us for two years that the army was the proper instrument for dealing with these redskins?
33458Have the savages broken out?"
33458Have the soldiers put down the pizen critters?"
33458Have they gone?"
33458Have you a warrant?"
33458Have you had a good visit?
33458Have you no law in this town?"
33458Have you seen anything of my deputy?"
33458Have you studied the ground closely?"
33458He arrested him and searched all his private papers-- don''t you remember?"
33458He greeted the agent soberly, expressing neither fear nor love, asking:"Who are these with you?
33458He had given her another disturbing thought to sleep on, and that was,"Would it hurt him much if I should now return his ring?"
33458He has acted with honor and good judgment--""Oh, he has, has he?
33458He was very curious to know what it was all about-- don''t you think so?"
33458Her eyes burned down into his with a singular flame as she cried out:"Why did n''t you come to me sooner?
33458Here at the agency?"
33458How can you expect me to take your word against that of Captain Curtis?
33458How did you sleep?"
33458How do you do it?"
33458How do you feel?
33458How do you know but they are as near the Creator''s design as the people of Ohio?"
33458How do you know he will do as you commanded?"
33458How early could one come out?"
33458How far is it?"
33458How should I know it?
33458How ye goin''to arrest a man if you do n''t know who he is?
33458How you vass, ai n''t it?"
33458I am Swift Eagle-- don''t you remember?
33458I can understand a Tetong when he says:''All this is as sweet to me as your own life-- why should I give it up?''
33458I dimly recall thinking he had nice ears and hands, but even they do not now seem a reasonable basis for wild passion, do they?"
33458I do n''t see that the problem of our lives is any nearer solution, do you?
33458I found a little scrap of canvas with a sketch of Peta on it-- may I keep it?
33458I hope you''re enjoying your trip with us?"
33458I hope"--he hesitated--"I hope your son was not with him?"
33458I suppose they lynched poor Cut Finger?"
33458I was a little late, but I gave service, do n''t you think?"
33458I wonder if they really were happy in those days-- happier than our civilization can make them?"
33458If we repudiate and condemn to death those who do not please us, who will live?"
33458If you saw a kitten fall into a well what would you do?"
33458Is it from you?
33458Is it like her?"
33458Is lunch nearly ready?"
33458Is n''t it beautiful?"
33458Is n''t it good to escape that horrid little town?"
33458Is n''t that so, Curtis?"
33458Is the Anglo- Saxon type so adorable in the sight of God that He desires all the races of the earth to be like unto it?
33458Is there any common ground?"
33458Is there any news?"
33458Is there any other question you would like to raise?"
33458Is there any record that He ever condemned an innocent pleasure?
33458Is this your way of fighting-- a hundred to one?
33458Its one care seems to be,''What will produce and preserve beauty, and so assuage the pain of the world?''
33458Lawson, I can depend on you-- will you go over to the office with me?"
33458Lawson?"
33458Lookin''that way?
33458May I come in?"
33458Maynard flecked a little dust from his sleeve and inquired, carelessly:"Your sister is n''t married?"
33458Maynard, who had been standing in the door, said, in a tone of astonishment,"Did that wild Injun carry his papoose all the way down?"
33458Meanwhile I will talk with Elk--""Suppose Elk do n''t come?"
33458Mr. Dudley writes--""Dudley-- is he down there?
33458My poverty, your wealth, what do they matter?"
33458No excuse but jest to see her?
33458No one spoke till the agent, pacing calmly down to the gate, stepped into the road and said:"Good- evening, gentlemen, will you get out and come in?"
33458Now, Miss Curtis, let''s try for the top of that hill?"
33458Of course the mob gave no further trouble?"
33458Old Mary, the cook, suddenly blocked the kitchen door- way, and, with tremulous lips, asked:"Cowboys gone?"
33458One big, freckled young fellow nudged his neighbor and said:"Would n''t that pull your teeth?
33458Osborne, why did n''t we camp last year?"
33458Parker, seeing them come forth, met them, inquiring anxiously:"Well, what do you think of the situation?"
33458Plainly a man of large fortune, with high social connections, what had Lawson to fear of the mountain West?
33458Rather tragic business, do n''t you think?
33458Says he,''You would n''t call that profitable, would you-- a seventy- dollar instrument in exchange for a four- dollar pelt?''"
33458Sennett?"
33458Several anxious ones from various cities, all of this tenor:"Is there any danger?
33458Shall we go down?"
33458She continued, wildly:"Ca n''t you see how crazy, how impossible, it is?
33458She could not speak, and he smilingly said,"I hope I have n''t hurried you?"
33458She did not reply, and he resumed, with tender gravity:"I hope I have n''t made it so unpleasant for you that you are running away to escape_ me_?"
33458Sheriff?"
33458Sheriff?"
33458So?
33458Streeter?"
33458Suppose we say Wednesday of Thanksgiving week?"
33458Suppose you were offered a chance to go to-- well, say West Point, as an instructor on a good salary?"
33458The question for answer is-- has he abused his office?"
33458The sheriff turned and called sharply:"Where is he going?"
33458The wailing of the women, the young man''s song, had roused his racial hatred-- what to him was the killing of a"white robber"?
33458Then Curtis remarked, carelessly:"You attended to that matter, Lawson?"
33458Then you know the city thoroughly?"
33458They were nearing"the parsonage"gate, and he ended in a low voice:"Do n''t you think I am right?"
33458Think you''re sheriff?"
33458This feature of the beautiful room impressed Curtis, and as they took seats opposite each other he remarked,"If I were not here you would be alone?"
33458To see the commissioner?
33458Turning sharply to the sheriff, he asked:"Who are those men?"
33458Turning to Curtis he said, very seriously,"Is there anything I can do for you, Captain?"
33458Want a guard?"
33458Was Lawson right?
33458Was it not true that she was less sympathetic with the poor brown peoples of the earth than with the animals?
33458Was n''t that where you and Elsie camped this summer?"
33458Was she playing with him?
33458Was that right?"
33458We were so alarmed-- Calvin warned you?"
33458Well, what about this man Curtis-- he''s a crank on the Indian question, like yourself, is n''t he?"
33458Were n''t you scared?"
33458What are they built for?''
33458What are you all waiting for?
33458What are you in this thing for, anyhow?
33458What are you saying?
33458What can I do to change it?
33458What can I do?
33458What can I do?"
33458What can you do?
33458What could you do with such inexorable moral purpose?
33458What do you intend to do with it?
33458What do you suppose Two Horns is thinking about as he sits over there smoking?"
33458What do you think of that?
33458What does it matter if they die, or do n''t?"
33458What is Dudley doing at Smith besides interfering with my affairs?"
33458What is a savage?"
33458What is it, Heavybreast?"
33458What is it?
33458What is life for, if not for this?
33458What is she doing here?"
33458What is that?"
33458What kind of pirates do you raise out there, anyway?"
33458What made you laugh that way?
33458What people would suffer by having its army intelligent?"
33458What time have you?"
33458What time is it?"
33458What was your idea of going into the Indian service, anyway?"
33458What would you do in such a case?"
33458What would you do-- kill off the Indians and move into the city?"
33458What would you have me do-- paint Indians to convince the world of their sufferings?"
33458What''s all the row?"
33458What''s your message?"
33458When did you come?"
33458When he got up and looked at his machine he says,''How much is a mountain- lion skin worth?''
33458When will you start?"
33458When?"
33458Where are your children?"
33458Where did you house your men?"
33458Where is Crow?"
33458Where is Elsie?"
33458Where is Tony?"
33458Where is Two Horns?"
33458Where is Two Horns?"
33458Where is the body?"
33458Where is the doctor?
33458Where is the sheriff?"
33458Where is your mayor?
33458Where?"
33458Who is responsible for these pictures?"
33458Who is with him?"
33458Who''s here?"
33458Whom did you hear from?"
33458Whose are the cattle?"
33458Why Colonel?"
33458Why did n''t you come to the railway as I ordered?"
33458Why did n''t you let me see it before?"
33458Why do n''t you paint that kind of thing, Bee Bee?"
33458Why do n''t you send the police?"
33458Why do n''t you take the soldiers?"
33458Why do you not come out?"
33458Why do you tell me this?"
33458Why do you walk so slowly?
33458Why not picket your horses and have some lunch with us?"
33458Why should I want to paint these malodorous tepee dwellers?
33458Why should he care so much whether she painted her subjects well or ill?
33458Why?"
33458Will Mr. Lawson also return?"
33458Will they begin shooting at once?"
33458Will you be East this winter?
33458Will you be kind to me?"
33458Will you do as I say?"
33458Will you do this?
33458Will you do this?"
33458Will you follow me?"
33458Will you go after him to- night?"
33458Will you promise that?"
33458Will you search hard and bring me word what you discover?"
33458Will you stay?"
33458Will you tag each anomalous hump?"
33458Will you take charge of Miss Curtis while I go fetch the delinquent?"
33458Will your father go with us?"
33458Wo n''t you teach me how?"
33458Wo n''t you''light off?"
33458Would Christ do that?
33458Would He insist on shutting the door on their mythology, their nature lore, their dances and ceremonies?
33458Would He not go freely among them, glad of their joy, and condemning only what was hurtful?
33458Would he sanction such libels as these?
33458Would n''t you like me to come out and break a bottle of wine over the first plough or water- gate or something?
33458XVIII ELSIE''S ANCIENT LOVE AFFAIR As they walked back to their camp Jennie took her brother''s arm:"What is it, George?"
33458You could n''t put your arm round it, could you?"
33458You did n''t know that when you painted him, did you?"
33458You have just left the office-- have you the keys in your pocket?
33458You know what this gang''s here for?"
33458You remember the two literary chaps who camped with us on our trial march two years ago?"
33458You remember those photographs he showed us of some statues of Indians?
33458You saw me put''em to flight?
33458You see that, Calvin?"
33458You think I am quite heartless, do n''t you?"
33458You will stay with Jennie to- night?"
33458You wo n''t, will you?"
33458You would n''t charge that hill?"
33458You would n''t destroy servant- girls because some of them are ugly and untidy, would you?"
33458You would n''t expect a sympathetic study of the Greek by the Saracen, would you?"
33458You''ll wait a second, wo n''t you, Major?"
33458Your conception of art''s uses is French, is it not?"
33458cried one young mother as she caught sight of Curtis,"are the Injuns coming?"
33458did you do them?
33458have you heard?"
33458pursued Curtis;"act with me through the head men, or make your demand of the whole tribe?"
60797Absolutely devoted boy, is n''t he? 60797 Ai n''t it, now?"
60797Ai n''t none of you ridin''to town?
60797All of''em?
60797And the Circle Bar lays right up the valley from the Lazy S. Anybody at Shumway''s would be sure to see the Circle Bar if she was burnin'', I guess?
60797And what''s the answer to the durned thing?
60797Any objections?
60797Any of the Running Dog outfit in town?
60797Are you Fisher o''Pecos County?
60797Are you sure-- are you sure about what you saw? 60797 Are you threatening me?"
60797Brady?
60797But how in time are we goin''to git away from here?
60797But s''pose anybody with money buys in the place and pays off the mortgage?
60797By that brand, you must ha''come up from the south, Robinson? 60797 By the way, I s''pose you ai n''t related to Pincher Brady?
60797Call you Mister Arnold over there, would they?
60797Dead-- Miguel dead?
60797Did I say? 60797 Did you get him?"
60797Do n''t mind if I smoke, Stella?
60797Does that look like it?
60797Does that satisfy you? 60797 Feelin''your oats a heap, eh?
60797For how much? 60797 Friend of yours?"
60797Friends of yours?
60797Friends? 60797 Funerals?
60797Get down and roll me one, will you? 60797 Got any objections?"
60797Got your saddle handy?
60797Him?
60797Hope you ai n''t lost any nerve lately, Buck? 60797 How come?
60797How come?
60797How goes it this morning, Miguel?
60797How ye goin''to work it?
60797How? 60797 Huh?"
60797I do n''t s''pose you gents could direct me?
60797I do n''t suppose, by any chance, you were looking for Sam Fisher?
60797I never''lowed it was, did I?
60797I s''pose you got reason for being so roundabout?
60797If I do n''t do it, then what?
60797If you ai n''t got no objections, Jake, where''s Matt Brady and Knute?
60797Is that the truth?
60797Jest come from town? 60797 Laredo?"
60797Law?
60797Leave you here?
60797Live bunch, ai n''t it?
60797Looks a whole lot like whoever wants the work done had ought to be able to handle some part of it his ownself, do n''t it?
60797Made you weep a lot, huh?
60797Matt Brady?
60797Matt Brady?
60797Me? 60797 Me?
60797Me?
60797Meaning what, pardner?
60797Miss Stella inside? 60797 My gosh, have you gone crazy or what, feller?
60797None of your business, is it? 60797 Not hearing?"
60797Now the only question is-- who''s a- comin''? 60797 Now you''ve seen the mistake, let''s have a drink, hey?"
60797Now, me lad,pursued Mike over his shotgun,"what''s this tale ye been tellin''?"
60797Oh, he did, did he? 60797 Oh, him?"
60797Oh, you ai n''t reachin''for it, huh? 60797 Orders to meet me?
60797Pull the mortgage stuff on Estella, polite but firm, savvy? 60797 Rescue him?
60797Right after I got back to the Lazy S, Buck and this feller Chuck rode home, savvy? 60797 Rope him?"
60797Rope him?
60797S''pose Jake''s all right?
60797Sam Fisher and Arnold are bound to come that way from the Lazy S when they see the smoke, ai n''t they?
60797Sam, what do you want that preacher for?
60797Satisfied, sheriff?
60797She''s his sister, eh?
60797So it ai n''t a dream after all, Buck? 60797 So long as you keep out of it, you''re not in it; get the idea?
60797Some stuck up over sudden promotion, ai n''t you, Sandy?
60797Steve, can I trust you to turn in back there and say nothin''--keep your head level-- just be nice and polite to Buck and his man Chuck Hansom? 60797 Stranger, are you jest plain fool, or ignerant?"
60797That''s sure the way to show up, is n''t it?
60797The-- mortgage?
60797Then,drawled Robinson,"I reckon you done heard of Pete Hendricks?"
60797They tried the old game on the stranger, eh? 60797 This ai n''t a holdup, is it?"
60797Threaten you? 60797 Tryin''to ride me, are ye?"
60797Turned dumb, have you? 60797 Want trouble, do ye?"
60797Was it as bad as that?
60797Well, gents? 60797 Were n''t you looking for me?"
60797What about Jake Harper?
60797What about that killin''up on the north road?
60797What at?
60797What do you mean? 60797 What for?"
60797What happened after they shot Cervantes?
60797What kind of a game are you playing, anyway?
60797What ye doin''here?
60797What ye tryin''to do-- stir up trouble a time like this? 60797 What you aim to do?"
60797What you so dummed curious about Murphy for?
60797What you want to go for, Jake?
60797What you want to run for, then?
60797What''d you drop him for? 60797 What''d you say your name was?"
60797What''ll it be now?
60797What''s all the excitement about in town?
60797What''s the big idea, Buck?
60797What? 60797 Where we off for?"
60797Where ye headin''for?
60797Where you goin'', Red?
60797Where''s Jake Harper, d''you know?
60797Where''s the feller calls himself Sam Fisher? 60797 Who done it?"
60797Who done it?
60797Who killed Cervantes?
60797Who posted that letter for you?
60797Who you callin''Fisher, sheriff? 60797 Who''d you suggest?"
60797Who''s shootin''here?
60797Whose mail you got there, Robinson?
60797Why do n''t you take Murphy, if you want him, and go?
60797Why,he stammered,"I understood a greaser was makin''trouble here----""And who might have gave you to understand such?"
60797Yes? 60797 You ai n''t been using your eyes real good, have you?"
60797You aim to light out, do you?
60797You do n''t mean young Fisher, the deputy sheriff o''Pecos County-- him that''s goin''to be sheriff there next election? 60797 You do n''t mind if I look over the place a bit, ma''am?
60797You fellers object?
60797You got away?
60797You got that gun of mine with you?
60797You know him, then?
60797You know him?
60797You met''em?
60797You seen Matt Brady draw first, did n''t you?
60797You slept out last night, yes?
60797You tryin''to run some joke on me, Red?
60797You want to move into the office here while I''m gone?
60797You were n''t in town to- day?
60797You''ll have no objections if I take charge of''em?
60797Ai n''t even busted, is she?"
60797Ai n''t it awful what can happen in your sleep?"
60797Ai n''t it the truth?"
60797Ai n''t that the way of it now?"
60797Ai n''t we been follerin''him for two weeks?
60797And if Fisher got killed, what loss?
60797And while we gathers in the sheriff o''Pecos and his pal, the Circle Bar outfit is millin''around tryin''to find out what''s done happened, eh?"
60797Anybody home?"
60797At the Lazy S?
60797Besides----""Templeton Buck?"
60797Brought in Cervantes, have you?"
60797Buck been in town to- day?"
60797But Buck-- give him a quick, hot bullet?
60797But I give him warning; you heard me?
60797But how ye goin''to reach the Circle Bar to fire her?"
60797But s''pose it ca n''t be paid off?
60797But they would n''t bring Pincher here simply to get you, would they?
60797By the way, I do n''t suppose this Jake Harper is a decrepit old party who was a scout for Reno during the Indian wars?"
60797By the way, ai n''t that a Circle Bar brand on your hoss?"
60797By the way, who had anything to do with Frank''s being sent to the pen?"
60797Callin''her Stella, huh?"
60797Can I put my rope on a couple of your broncs and get Steve to take me out and show me the country?"
60797Can ye do it, cowboy?"
60797Can you swear to it that Buck fired one of the shots?"
60797Did n''t ye hear a shot a while back?"
60797Did you meet a couple of riders back a ways?"
60797Did you see Stella?"
60797Do n''t tell any one but the sheriff what''s happened, savvy?
60797Do you agree?
60797Do you foller me?"
60797Do you foller?"
60797Ever been down thataway, feller?
60797Expectin''to meet somebody else here?"
60797Fisher, you want these deputies to work with you?"
60797Four will be plenty, I guess?"
60797Friend called himself Murphy, but his real handle was Pincher Brady, savvy?
60797Goin''over to the ranch real soon?"
60797Going to break through, or take my advice about sending that committee?"
60797Got any objections?"
60797Guess I''d better give him a job, had n''t I?"
60797Had Robinson overheard much of the talk?
60797He had been shot--- how?
60797He''s a stranger up here-- sure, you do n''t know him?"
60797Hello-- you must ha''scratched that hand or hurt it somehow; all plastered up, ai n''t it?"
60797Here, you take this hoss o''mine and I''ll take--""And give our game away to Buck?
60797Hey, Steve, is it true Cervantes was shot to- day?"
60797How come?"
60797How come?"
60797How in thunder did you get''em?"
60797How is the señorita?"
60797How many horses in the corral, Sandy?"
60797How you goin''to prove otherwise?"
60797How''d you find out?"
60797How''re you, Jake?"
60797I ai n''t going to do no such thing----""I said not to get hasty, did n''t I?"
60797I been keepin''tabs on things, y''understand?
60797I do n''t like your looks, and I do n''t like the name you''re sailin''under, savvy?
60797I met Miguel back yonder, where he''s powerful busy with some wire, and he allowed you would be glad to see me----""You met Miguel this morning?"
60797I''ll send in to town to- day and git the preacher, and we''ll attend to a real funeral for poor Miguel, savvy?
60797If him and Arnold seen the smoke from the Circle Bar, what''d they do?"
60797If you was n''t here, where''d I be?
60797Is n''t Estella wise to him?"
60797Is that c''rect?"
60797It does beat all how things happen, do n''t it?
60797Jest out from town?"
60797Knute off to one side?"
60797L''ave us be, will ye?"
60797Look rumpled, do I?
60797Lookin''for something special, were you?"
60797Maybe you remember him?
60797Me?"
60797Meet anybody?"
60797Miguel was killed by two bullets, was n''t he?
60797Murder trap?
60797My goodness, is that the way you show up?"
60797Need any help here?"
60797No objections?"
60797Nobody in these here parts is goin''to start buckin''my hand, y''understand?
60797Now what say to you and me going after that bad guy?
60797Now will some gent kindly direct me to where the nearest or next preacher resides?"
60797Only thing that worries me is this: Who fired the two shots?
60797Only, he always kills in the back, savvy?
60797Or is they?"
60797Question is, can I git to town''fore eight o''clock to- night?
60797Ridin''a Runnin''Dog cayuse?
60797S''pose ye''d like me to turn my back, would ye?
60797Satisfied?"
60797Savvy?
60797Savvy?
60797Send that preacher out here to- morrow, will you?"
60797So Jake is using Injun smoke signals, is he?
60797So that''s why they had you tied up?"
60797Sold this ranch?"
60797Sort of forgot what I look like, since you and Jake were down in Pecos County last fall, have n''t you?
60797Step up and have a seat, wo n''t you?
60797Tell my friend Murphy here who owns a half interest in this joint, you understand?"
60797Tell them I''ll be over to- morrow, after getting cleaned up at the Lazy S. And tell them to wait, understand?
60797That business ai n''t with you----""Oh, ai n''t it?"
60797That''s the best way to play her, ai n''t it?"
60797The coroner''s verdict will guarantee him a quick trial for the murder of Miguel, wo n''t it?
60797The latter spoke challengingly:"Meaning me, maybe?"
60797The reason''s Stella, savvy?
60797Then:"Well, what you want here?"
60797These deputies of mine were in next door with me----""Right convenient, were n''t you?"
60797This here ai n''t no private road, is it?"
60797Try a doughnut?
60797Want me to send for Jake Harper?
60797Was you about to offer to renew the note?"
60797We''ll get to town all right, Buck-- won''t we, cowboy?
60797What about it, Jake?"
60797What d''you know about that shooting on the north road yesterday?"
60797What did it mean?
60797What in time are you exposin''your flannels for thataway?"
60797What in time d''you mean?"
60797What next?"
60797What say?"
60797What was it you started to orate about the mortgage?"
60797What would we want to rope''em for?"
60797What you doin''here?"
60797What you tryin''to kill time for?
60797What''s happened?"
60797What''s that crossroads ahead?"
60797What''s the program?"
60797What''s your rush to look at land, huh?
60797Whence had come that shot?
60797Where are your hosses, Tracy?"
60797Where had Robinson come from?
60797Where is he?"
60797Where to?"
60797Where?"
60797Who bought the place?
60797Who to?"
60797Who was the person?
60797Who''d you think was kissing you, anyway?"
60797Who''s leading them?
60797Why do n''t you stick around and talk a while, Robinson?"
60797Why in thunder did n''t you tell me you was Sam Fisher?"
60797Why?"
60797Willing to listen a minute?"
60797Would he lie to his men, or tell them the truth?
60797Ye think the Circle Bar bunch is too old an''helpless to stir much, huh?
60797You ai n''t friends with this gunman Robinson?
60797You and me, what say we go ridin''for a change?"
60797You boys rope him, fetch him over here, and we''ll let him cool off a spell while we run that outfit of hisn off the range, savvy?"
60797You did n''t meet Mig Cervantes?"
60797You did?"
60797You do n''t mean you''re not going with me?"
60797You do n''t think any one will try to rescue him?"
60797You fellers from the Circle Bar-- got the front ones covered?
60797You think I''d lie to save your worthless neck?"
60797You''re the Lazy S foreman?"
60797Your job is to take the worry off Stella''s mind, savvy?"
60795A knife, Miss Lee? 60795 A note?"
60795Ai n''t you a deputy sheriff?
60795Ai n''t you jest said that the chink and this Doc Murray were out together? 60795 Aiblins, now, d''ye know what this Deadoak scoundrel will do?
60795Aiblins, now,said Sandy, while Murray examined the paper,"that looks like a chink laundry- man''s mark, eh?
60795And how are you doing without it?
60795And if we go broke on it, no hard feelings?
60795And no reason given?
60795And use the common funds for that purpose? 60795 And ye wo n''t talk mines to nobody else first?"
60795And ye''ll try to pinch one o''Swifty Bill''s mob, will ye? 60795 Are there mines around Two Palms?
60795Arrest?
60795Broken?
60795But how about yourself? 60795 But this-- this ai n''t on the square, is it?"
60795Ca n''t you run on the rim?
60795Can I see ye a moment in private?
60795Can you get along?
60795Cheerful?
60795Come on and help me throw some things together-- put one of those extra gas cans in the back of my car, will you? 60795 Did you give him more opium?"
60795Do you know why I stood in the top rank of surgeons? 60795 Do you like this desert country as much as you expected?"
60795Do you think your father means to come out to Morongo Valley?
60795Doctor Murray has been hurt-- why, what''s the matter?
60795Doctor Murray,she said, a trace of color in her cheeks,"will you take me up to Morongo Valley in your car-- right away?"
60795Does anybody here know anything about medicine? 60795 Each one of us helps the other to get on his feet, eh?"
60795Eat it? 60795 Fall for it?"
60795Five thousand?
60795Had n''t I better see him----?
60795Have a dish, partner?
60795Have ye found somethin''?
60795He ai n''t dead, miss?
60795He ai n''t even usin''a alleyas, huh? 60795 He has not recovered yet?"
60795He has, I believe, engaged a room in advance of my coming?
60795He was an actor, was n''t he?
60795Him?
60795Homestead and minerals?
60795How about you, Willyum? 60795 How can I get off some letters and telegrams?"
60795How come?
60795How d''you know none of these guys ai n''t done it already?
60795How long ago?
60795How long do you want to stay?
60795How the devil do I know?
60795How''s my patient?
60795How?
60795I hope,said Murray,"that you hurt him worse than he hurt you?"
60795I thought that perhaps he wanted to get you away from Doctor Scudder, to prevent trouble; but why should I go too? 60795 I thought,"he said quietly,"that you had decided to throw overboard all the shady tricks of yesterday, Sandy?"
60795I was vagged down to N''Orleans, just like I printed it, and seen him in court bein''tried for supplyin''dust an''hop to----"Was he convicted?
60795I-- why, Miss Lee, what do you mean? 60795 In other words, will you be willing to let me gamble for the good o''the firm?"
60795Is Doc back? 60795 Is that fellow Mackintavers still here?"
60795Know him, do you?
60795Know him?
60795Know it?
60795Know me, do you?
60795Leavin''all that out, how did the paper strike you-- honest, now?
60795Lie put, will you?
60795Mac''s playin''on the level with us, ai n''t he? 60795 Matter with it?"
60795May I inquire if Mr. Lee is stopping here?
60795May I inquire whether you think me a fit person to be associated in such a work?
60795Near here?
60795Need any money?
60795No more fisticuffs, eh?
60795Not in condition just now, are you? 60795 On what charge?"
60795Piute do n''t know, an''if he do n''t, who does?
60795Piute owns it now, then?
60795Prisoner? 60795 Ride, boys?"
60795Savvy? 60795 Say, is them real bakin''powder biscuits ye got?
60795Seen me before, have ye?
60795Shady? 60795 So that was why you had me run you out here, huh?
60795Speakin''o''that chink, now,he said, sitting up suddenly,"you say he''s headin''for Morongo Valley to- day?
60795Step into the back office, will you?
60795Taking photographs, eh?
60795That story about Doctor Scudder-- where on earth did you get the nerve to print that, you big boob?
60795The chink? 60795 The matter?"
60795The sun got me, eh?
60795Then you really found something?
60795Then you take me up?
60795Then, Sandy we own everything in sight?
60795There is nothing else?
60795Tom Lee? 60795 Want me?"
60795Want to find it or buy it?
60795Was n''t the paper worthless that I gave it for?
60795We''re partners, are n''t we?
60795Well, Sandy, suppose you elucidate? 60795 Well?"
60795Wh- what''s the matter?
60795What about your mortgage?
60795What d''ye mean by all this----?
60795What d''ye mean, huh?
60795What d''ye mean?
60795What happened to Scudder? 60795 What in hallelujah would he do with it when he got it?"
60795What stroke of luck turned you loose, Sandy?
60795What then?
60795What we goin''to do with''em when we get''em? 60795 What''s bitin''you?"
60795What''s he want? 60795 What''s in the mine?"
60795What''s it mean, Doc?
60795What''s that stuff?
60795What''s that you guys say about this here printin''office? 60795 What''s the matter with it?"
60795What''s the matter, Miss Lee?
60795What''s the matter?
60795What''s the rush?
60795What''s there?
60795What''s this about the chink and the girl?
60795What''s this-- a holdup?
60795What''s this?
60795What''s your proposition?
60795What?
60795What?
60795What?
60795When do you want to go?
60795Where is he?
60795Where to?
60795Where''s Father?
60795Where''s Two Palms?
60795Where''s he gone?
60795Where''s the doc?
60795Where''s the nearest State Land office?
60795Where?
60795Who ever heard of a chink ownin''a autobile? 60795 Who owns the mining rights?"
60795Who the devil are you?
60795Who''s this guy Mackintavers? 60795 Who-- who owns it?"
60795Why did n''t you stick it out yourself?
60795Why did n''t you stick it out? 60795 Why in time do they go out workin''with that picture machine?
60795Why-- d''ye mean the homestead or the mine, now?
60795Will I? 60795 Will I?"
60795Will you have a drink? 60795 Willyum, can you take care of Sandy?"
60795Wo n''t ye wait till mornin'', anyhow?
60795Wot kind o''guys d''you take us for, Mac?
60795Would we take advantage of ye that way? 60795 Ye did n''t allow them samples come from here, did ye?"
60795Ye do n''t think there''s nothin''wrong, do ye?
60795Ye''ll leave this matter to me?
60795Yes?
60795You ai n''t goin''to pay the note?
60795You are not glad he has come?
60795You do n''t like Scudder, eh?
60795You do n''t mean he''s-- arrested?
60795You do n''t mean that you''ll take back the property? 60795 You got the papers to prove it, of course?"
60795You know him, then?
60795You''re a real physician?
60795You''re the mining gent, ai n''t you?
60795You''ve been wondering about me, I suppose? 60795 You''ve not been long in this country?"
60795You-- what?
60795You-- you boys now, how d''ye know I wo n''t beat it with your pile? 60795 ; wHen i was vagGed and hE was iN tHe dOck two for pedLing dope& Happy dust two the nlgge*rs& jUdje give him hEll,? 60795 Ai n''t goin''there, I hope?
60795Ai n''t he?
60795Ai n''t that fair?"
60795Ai n''t that gratitood?
60795Ai n''t that wonderful, now?"
60795Aiblins, now, ye have a price?"
60795Aiblins, now, ye''ve heard of me?"
60795And now, may I suggest that we lift him into the car at once?
60795And what''s shady about this, will ye tell me?"
60795And where is it?"
60795And why not?"
60795Any luck?"
60795As concerns your offer of a position-- may I reserve judgment upon that for a time?"
60795At the price we paid?"
60795Autobile an''all-- say, is that a real autobile?
60795But say, Doc, how are you?"
60795But what business had the man with Doctor Scudder?
60795But what''s this Mac is tellin''me about gettin''in bad?"
60795By the way, I''m interested in this fellow who fixed you up-- did you say his name was Murray?
60795Can he?
60795Can ye run a flivver, Bill?"
60795Comest thou?"
60795D''ye mind, Murray, what our host said about Deadoak?
60795Did he homestead the valley an''lease the mineral rights?"
60795Did n''t you ask him?"
60795Did you arrange for a contractor as I ordered?"
60795Did you have a wagon- spoke in your hand?"
60795Ding my dogs, ai n''t you got no patience?
60795Do n''t go to p''inting that there gun too reckless----""Scudder, was it?"
60795Do you think he''s all right?"
60795He do n''t go by the front name o''Sandy, I suppose?"
60795How we goin''to get them pears to market?"
60795How''s that, now?
60795I bought a worthless mortgage with a worthless note-- ain''t that even?"
60795I got ta beat it with these guys, see?
60795I guess you''ll sell at_ that_ figger, huh?"
60795I''m askin''ye-- ain''t it?
60795Ice cream or business?"
60795If I see a chance to-- to-- to----""To crack a safe?"
60795If he don''t-- then do n''t say nothin''about me, savvy?
60795If it do n''t intrude none, what ye lookin''for?"
60795If there''s no valid reason for keeping the place, why not make a good profit while we can?
60795If you''re seriously set on opening up a print- shop, we''ll agree----""As partners?"
60795Is it agreeable to you guys?"
60795Is it possible, worthy sir, that you do not own this fine motor car?"
60795Is it true-- what you said about Doctor Murray?"
60795Is it your proposition that we throw all we have into a common fund?"
60795Kinda nifty, ai n''t it?"
60795Let Sandy do it; do n''t he know all about them things?
60795Let''s go together, eh?"
60795May I inquire as to your name?"
60795Miss Lee, would you have any objection to leaving me and Doctor Scudder in private for a few moments?"
60795Morphia victim, were n''t you?
60795Now, Hassayamp was Piute Tomkins''father- in- law by marriage, savvy?
60795Pilgrims, I''m right pained to hear tell o''this, but----""Huh?"
60795Quite a drop for Douglas Murray, to be a bindle stiff, eh?"
60795Quite a drop for me, eh?
60795Right?"
60795Savvy that?"
60795Savvy?"
60795Say, I reckon ye ai n''t heard the news about him?"
60795Say, tell the doc I''m squarin''things up, will you?
60795Shall I let a big yellow man drive all the romance out of things?
60795Should I do it to- night or wait?
60795Since then, I done the time an''got out again, see?
60795So he adopted me----""Adopted you?
60795So he tried to frame the doc, here, did he?"
60795So this Tom Lee is a rich man, is he?
60795So-- ye see?"
60795Suit ye?"
60795Suppose we go over and get the shop cleaned up a bit for him?"
60795Sure he did n''t mention it?"
60795Take some grub and a pair o''blankets, and watch what them pilgrims does, savvy?
60795Tell him, will you?"
60795That him yonder?"
60795The pictures are safe?"
60795There''s machines and stuff in here-- don''t nobody want it?"
60795To tell ye the truth, now, d''ye know what''s broke me?
60795Tryin''to make a pinch, huh?
60795Want to go along?"
60795Was his leg broken?"
60795We''ll go on to California, huh?"
60795We''ll see who this stranger is, huh?"
60795We''re usin''your flivver, ai n''t we?
60795What d''you guys say to this-- leave the girl an''the doc go, and take me with you?
60795What did he look like?"
60795What did he put those stakes in for?"
60795What did the girl think of Tom Lee''s proposals?
60795What had Scudder said out there?
60795What is her origin, then?
60795What made you plant the dope there?
60795What matter to him?
60795What prisoner?"
60795What right ye got to treat me----""We''re friends and partners, are n''t we?"
60795What was happening beyond that horizon, over the rim of the world?
60795What''s in this dope frame- up, anyhow?"
60795What''s the chink doin''over to Two Palms?"
60795What''s the fun about?"
60795What''s the idea?"
60795What''s this, Murray-- sunstroke?
60795Where are you going from here, Mackintavers?
60795Where did Doc go to?"
60795Where is the answer to this riddle?"
60795Who ever heard of a chink goin''off into the sandy wastes like any other prospector?
60795Who ever heard of a chink havin''a purty daughter?
60795Why am I in this place, Doctor?
60795Why did n''t we bring some lunch?"
60795Why did you turn him down?"
60795Why not?
60795Why should that fellow come here and make us an offer?
60795Why?"
60795Why?"
60795Will ye?
60795Willyum''s remarks on Doctor Scudder were frankly illuminating about Willyum himself: I wunst seen tHis gink iN neworLeens.?
60795Would n''t it be great to camp out there?"
60795Would such a thing be allowed?"
60795Ye do n''t mind, o''course?"
60795Ye said no?"
60795You do n''t want to, eh?
60795You goin''to come out o''that place?"
60795You know what I told you about the sanitarium?
60795You register for us, Sandy?
60795You remember that guy come out three years ago an''boarded over to Stiff Enger''s place by Skull Mountain?
60795You there?"
60795You thought you''d dispose of Murray and have Claire in your power, did n''t you?"
60795You will remain here for a time?"
60795You''ll have to foreclose the mortgage----""Is it recorded?"
60795You''re goin'', understand?"
60795the minin''rights or----?"
36869A scapegoat, eh? 36869 About the newspaper fracas?
36869All right; what''s the other answer?
36869All the land within the limits of the flood level has been bought and paid for-- some of it more than once, has n''t it?
36869Alone in that horrible place-- and without food?
36869Am I? 36869 And after that?"
36869And he has n''t phoned you?
36869And her picture was in the watch- case of each?
36869And if we still refuse?
36869And my father did tell you?
36869And still you are going about in public as if all the hue and cry meant nothing to you? 36869 And that is why you say you wo n''t give up until you have to?"
36869And the colonel and Williams: the marshal is holding them out at the dam?
36869And the railroad grab? 36869 And yet you did n''t think it worth while to take your meals somewhere else?"
36869And you are a good enough friend of mine to want to give me a tip, Boswell? 36869 And you are willing to live in a raw wilderness for the sake of having a part in these crudities?"
36869And you have telegraphed to the chief of police, or the sheriff, or whoever it is that wants Smith?
36869And you ran away? 36869 And you say this one man has blocked the game?
36869And you went in after me?
36869And you''ve muddled over this all day, when every hour is worth more to us than your one- horse bank could earn in a year?
36869And you?
36869Any business experience?
36869Any recommendations?
36869Are they never going to take that miserable train out of the way?
36869Are you big enough to fight for your own hand against Stanton''s crowd?
36869Are you quoting the little ranch person?
36869Are you sure he is still in town?
36869Assessments on the stock, you mean?
36869Bad temper?
36869Big money?--you mean in saving our investment?
36869But how will you get back to the camp?
36869But the man of whom I am reminding you?
36869But they would have to be''shown,''you think?
36869But you believe me guilty, do n''t you?
36869But you had met her somewhere, before you came?
36869But you remembered her?
36869But you''ve been doing that-- the galloping, I mean-- all your life, have n''t you?
36869Ca n''t get shut of the''if,''no way nor shape, can we? 36869 Ca n''t something be done, Smith?
36869Ca n''t we?
36869Certainty? 36869 Did I lose my grip and tumble in?"
36869Did he tell you that I knocked them out-- all three of them?
36869Did she tell you that?
36869Did the colonel succeed in making a raise in Red Butte?
36869Did they look like the real thing-- sure- enough prospectors?
36869Did you call me in here to get an expert opinion?
36869Did you make out to raise the judge?
36869Did you notice that roomful of people out there waiting to see me?
36869Did, eh? 36869 Did-- did Verda send you to do it?"
36869Do n''t we?
36869Do n''t you hear it?
36869Do n''t you know you might''a''killed me, pullin''me off''m the roof that way?
36869Do n''t you think I''m earning my wages?
36869Do you know that you and your crowd have come to the bottom of the bag on that dam proposition?
36869Do you know the old abandoned Wire- Silver mine at Little Butte?
36869Do you reckon he''s sure- enough crazy, Bob?
36869Do you want me to lie down and let them put the steam- roller over me?
36869Does Colonel Baldwin know?
36869Does he know you are here?
36869Does n''t she care any more for you than that?
36869Does she remember that she had met you?
36869Does that mean more than it says?
36869Does the judge know about that, too?
36869Does this Mr. Kinzie know where father is to be found?
36869Done and well covered up?
36869Escape? 36869 Every time I come it''s always the same thing:''When can I go?''
36869Finances?
36869Force?
36869Gets next to you-- after the fact-- doesn''t it? 36869 Glad rags, eh?"
36869Gone bad on you?
36869Great Moses!--dead?
36869Guns?
36869H''m; chasing you up?
36869Hackerman has been talking?
36869Has it got anything to do with the bunch of news that you wo n''t tell us-- about yourself, John?
36869Has n''t run away, then?
36869Have n''t you any middle name?
36869Have n''t you had a board meeting since?
36869Have you ever talked with daddy about all these things?
36869He has n''t stopped fighting?
36869He knew they were after him?
36869He suggests that you might help Mr. Kinzie out by telling him whether or not he has got hold of the right John Smith?
36869He was looking for me?
36869Here in Brewster?
36869Here in the hotel?
36869Holy smoke!--go up against the whole United States?
36869How about a bond issue?
36869How about it, Doc?
36869How about the young fellow that I unloaded on you a couple of weeks ago? 36869 How are you going to get there?"
36869How do we know anything?
36869How does that strike you?
36869How far is this''empty''going?
36869How many?
36869How much do you know about this business mix- up of ours, Smith?
36869How much is it?
36869How rapid are you?
36869How should I know?
36869How so?
36869How''s the grouch?
36869How?
36869Hunting a job?
36869I ca n''t help it, can I?
36869I did n''t say any such thing as that, did I?
36869I did n''t say anything like that, did I?
36869I see,she nodded, and then, without warning:"What was the matter with you last night-- about dinner- time?"
36869I suppose he told you about the latest move-- our move-- in the stock- selling game?
36869I suppose you know the plain inference you''re leaving, when you say a thing like that?
36869I suppose you''ve already got a secretary and treasurer?
36869I suppose you''ve heard the news about Westfall?
36869I suppose, by that you mean that you''ll quit before you will consent to open up on your record?
36869I told the waiter to bring me over here,she explained; and then, quite pleasantly:"It is an exceedingly little world, is n''t it, Montague?"
36869I was born here in the Timanyoni, and you have n''t been here three weeks: do you think I''d be afraid to go anywhere that you''ll go?
36869I''m a sort of general utility man up at the camp: can you use me in any way?
36869I''m going to congratulate you before you can escape-- or is it a bit premature?
36869In other words, you think he has gone over Kinzie''s head and has telegraphed to Lawrenceville?
36869In the hope that father will tell what he knows about you?
36869In what way, particularly?
36869In what way?
36869Is Mr. Richlander a Chicago man?
36869Is it a scrap?
36869Is it aiming to blow up?
36869Is n''t it? 36869 Is that about what you wanted me to say?"
36869Is that all?
36869Is that right, Dexter?
36869Is that the open inference always?--that a man tries to kill another because there is a woman in it?
36869Is that the way you are thinking now of your former life?
36869Is that what the plain- faced little ranch person would do?
36869Is that you, Montague?
36869Is that you, Monty?
36869Is that your ideal of the perfect man?
36869Is the river still rising?
36869Is-- is your name really and truly John Smith?
36869It certainly did,he confessed soberly; and then:"Have you forgotten what I told you about the circumstances under which I left home?"
36869It has been a long day, has n''t it?
36869It is rather remarkable, is n''t it? 36869 It''s some more of the interference, is n''t it?"
36869It''s straight, is it? 36869 It''s-- it''s just an initial?"
36869Me, for instance?
36869Meaning that I have n''t been telling you the truth, heretofore?
36869Money?
36869Mr. Kinzie, do you want me to tell you what you are? 36869 Mr. Richlander?
36869Much of this to worry through?
36869My Lord, John!--what have you done?
36869Nice little brace game, is n''t it?
36869No way of dodging that, is there? 36869 No?"
36869Not even for old times''sake?
36869Nothing that you''d give us, I guess; a little business loyalty, for one thing----"And a checking balance for immediate necessities for another?
36869Oh, is that necessary?
36869Oh, it''s you, at last, is it?
36869Oh; so you class me as an evil, do you?
36869Oh; the plain- faced little ranch girl among them, I suppose?
36869On the level?
36869On the north- side river road, you say? 36869 Really?"
36869Say; what kind of a''bo are you, anyway?
36869Sentiment?
36869She is in Brewster?
36869So her father wanted her to marry the other man, did he? 36869 So that''s the way the cat''s jumping, is it?"
36869So this is what you left Lawrenceville for, is it, Montague?
36869So you weakened, did you? 36869 Stanton, the real- estate man?"
36869Still, he may pull through?
36869Storms on the range?
36869That was back in New York State?
36869That''s one way to get rid of them, is n''t it?
36869That''s rather far- fetched, do n''t you think?
36869The big what?
36869The president stacked the cards on you?
36869The railroad right- of- way deal?
36869The time limit?
36869The water is pushing you pretty hard?
36869The women do n''t ride that way in your part of the country?
36869Then there are two of them?
36869Then there was something?
36869Then this Brewster Smith is n''t the one who is wanted in Lawrenceville for embezzlement and attempted murder?
36869Then what does figure in it?
36869Then you also know that the bank stands to lose a cold hundred thousand on that loan you made him?
36869Then you knew-- or you thought-- I was a criminal?
36869Then you know both men?
36869Then you recognized me?
36869They are not coming so easily now?
36869They did n''t serve any papers on you, did they?
36869They''re just-- a little-- too late, Billy, do n''t you think?
36869They?
36869Wait a minute, Billy,he broke in; and then:"There''s no doubt in your mind that he''s a spy?"
36869Want to see me?
36869Was Burdell wearing his star where it could be seen?
36869Was that something like the notion you had in mind?
36869Well, what am I?
36869Well, what''s the answer?
36869Well?
36869Well?
36869Well?
36869Wh-- what''ve I done to you?
36869Wha- what_ is_ the proper thing to say when you have just been sus- snatched out of the way of a railroad train?
36869Wha-- whadda you want with my head? 36869 What State did you say?"
36869What are you calling him now?--a betterment engineer? 36869 What are you driving at, Dave?"
36869What are you going to do with him?
36869What are you going to do?
36869What are you hoping to do, John? 36869 What cured you?"
36869What did you do?
36869What did you find out?
36869What do you know about this fellow Smith? 36869 What do you think of me?"
36869What explanation did Smith make?
36869What have you done with him?
36869What have you done? 36869 What in the world are you trying to do?"
36869What is Maxwell going to do about it?
36869What is the Absolute Ego?
36869What is ut ye''ll be wantin''?
36869What kind of work are you looking for?
36869What made you think so?
36869What makes you think I''m hunting for an office job?
36869What makes you think that anything has happened?
36869What shall you do?
36869What should I think? 36869 What sort of a job?"
36869What sort of a screw has gone loose in your deal with the railroad men? 36869 What the devil do we care for the temperature of Brewster?
36869What was it, then?
36869What was the other thing?
36869What will you do?--go away from Brewster and stay until father has finished buying his mine?
36869What''s that you say? 36869 What''s that?"
36869What''s that?
36869What''s the joke?
36869What''s the matter with you here on this land deal? 36869 What''s the use?"
36869What''s your idea in going to Stanton?
36869What-- what happened to me, Monty?
36869What?
36869What?
36869When did I ever, John?
36869When did she come?
36869When is all this going to happen?
36869Where did you corral all those good looks you took to the opera- house last night, John?
36869Where is Mr. Jibbey this morning?
36869Where is Smith?
36869Which Lawrenceville is that?
36869Which is merely another way of saying that you were unforgiving enough to wish to see me hanged?
36869Which way?
36869Who is Crawford Stanton, and what is he here for? 36869 Who is it?"
36869Who knows?
36869Who told you all this? 36869 Who''s been selling any stock?"
36869Who-- Smith?
36869Why are these Eastern capitalists spending their good money on a scheme to freeze out your little handful of ranch owners, Colonel? 36869 Why did n''t you tell me before?
36869Why did you run away?
36869Why do n''t you loosen up and tell me a little more? 36869 Why do n''t you turn this new leaf of yours back and go home and fight it out with Watrous Dunham, once for all?"
36869Why do you persist in dragging that in? 36869 Why is n''t there?"
36869Why not?
36869Why not?
36869Why should I telegraph Barton Macauley?
36869Why should you doubt it?
36869Why should you think there was anything the matter with me?
36869Why, yes; it''s because they want to get something for nothing, is n''t it?
36869Why? 36869 Would that be so very wonderful?--with so many Smiths in the world?"
36869You agreed with him that there was a tolerably big nigger in the wood- pile, did n''t you?
36869You are frightfully anxious to go and commit suicide, are n''t you?
36869You are going to need a little help, Montague-- my help-- aren''t you? 36869 You are hiking out to the dam?"
36869You are not interested in that side of it?
36869You are willing to ignore what has happened-- to that extent? 36869 You can dig up your last dollar and bet on that, can you?"
36869You can handle it by yourself, ca n''t you?
36869You did n''t know this was her home, when you came out here?
36869You do n''t know the word? 36869 You do n''t really mean that, Williams, do you?"
36869You do n''t think of anything that might make you change your mind?
36869You do n''t want to go back to Lawrenceville?
36869You got my note?
36869You got my wire?
36869You have introduced me; wo- won''t you introduce yourself?
36869You have it all cut and dried, even to the setting of the police trap, have n''t you?
36869You have known him a long time, have n''t you?
36869You have n''t forgotten his instructions to the man Lanterby, that night out at the road- house on the Topaz pike?--the talk that you overheard?
36869You have n''t seen Smith, have you?
36869You have n''t told her where you are?
36869You have your guards out, as we planned?
36869You knew we were here?
36869You know the story that was going around about his being an escaped convict, or something of that sort? 36869 You listened?"
36869You mean that I ought to have been willing to trust you? 36869 You mean that all these stubborn hold- ups have been bought and paid for?
36869You mean that she might hear of-- of Miss Corona?
36869You mean that there will be a majority pool of the old stock, and that the pool will ignore those stockholders who do n''t come in?
36869You mean that we''d ought to go over yonder and read the riot act to''em first? 36869 You mean that you did n''t want to come?"
36869You mean that you do n''t want to go East to raise it?
36869You mean that you have n''t spoken to her-- yet?
36869You mean that you''d send the clerk on a wild- goose chase?
36869You promised somebody?--not Verda?
36869You say Stanton said he had one more string to pull: he did n''t give it a name, did he?
36869You sent for me?
36869You think I could n''t? 36869 You think I did it for myself?--just to save my own worthless hide?
36869You think I wo n''t do it? 36869 You think I''m a coward?
36869You went along?
36869You will leave Brewster at once-- while the way is still open?
36869You''ll give my conceit that much to live on, wo n''t you?
36869You''re a''lame duck''of some sort; you''ve made that pretty plain in your talks with Williams, have n''t you? 36869 You''re aiming to go and see Corry?"
36869You''ve got something up your sleeve, Dave: what is it?
36869You''ve thought it all out?--just how to go at it?
36869Your bet?
36869Your father? 36869 _ You_ would n''t get in a man''s way with any fine- spun theories of the ultimate right and wrong, would you?
36869--in a chorus of two--"left his wife?"
36869Ai n''t it the truth?"
36869Am I making it plain?"
36869Am I right, so far?"
36869Am I right?"
36869And Corona Baldwin: what would she say to this newest alliance?
36869And now about those claim- jumpers: I suppose you did n''t know any of them by name?"
36869And then, with a quarrelsome rasp in his tone:"Are you getting ready to switch again?"
36869And then:"Are you sure you are not hurt?"
36869And then:"Did you ever lose a glove, Miss Baldwin-- a white kid with a little hole in one finger?"
36869And then:"Has n''t the time come when you can tell me a little more about what happened to me after the doctor put me to sleep that night at the dam?"
36869And then:"How many''John M. Smiths''do you suppose there are in the United States?"
36869And then:"Is it as bad as you thought it was going to be, John?"
36869And then:"What''s the frantic hurry, Billy?"
36869And then:"You have n''t said anything like that to Corry, have you?"
36869And then:"You''re Colonel Baldwin''s daughter, are n''t you?"
36869And you say all this happened the day before yesterday: how does it come that you are just now reporting it?"
36869And you say you have n''t any Belmonts or Morgans or Rockefellers in your company?"
36869Another week of this grinding and you''ll be hunting a nice, quiet cot in the railroad hospital, and then where''ll we be?
36869Are our workmen still on the ground?"
36869Are we done up, world without end?"
36869Are you game for it?"
36869Are you going to get water into the ditches within your charter restrictions?"
36869Are you going to reconsider and take me out to the Baldwin ranch this afternoon?"
36869Are you keeping in touch with this other girl?"
36869Are you listening?"
36869Because I say the first thing that asks to be said?"
36869Busy?"
36869But after the metal has once been poured in the mould it''s fixed, is n''t it?"
36869But how about the girl?"
36869But how did they come to let you take me away?
36869But tell me: did he die?"
36869But what has that got to do with your coming in and meeting mamma and letting her thank you for saving my life?"
36869But what''s the answer?"
36869But why the fury in his case in particular?"
36869But you could never be anybody''s Delilah, could you?
36869But you''re not going to do that, are you?"
36869By heavens, Shaw, have I got to send you over the road before you''ll come to your senses?
36869Ca n''t you see what everybody will say of me?--that I was too cowardly to face the music when my time came?
36869Can you carry it any further, John?"
36869Can you do that?"
36869Can you do that?"
36869Can you fill out the remainder of the order?"
36869Could he take a further advantage of their generosity by involving them still more intimately in his own particular entanglement?
36869Debritt?"
36869Did he make good?"
36869Did n''t I scold you for running away from her that first evening?
36869Did n''t I tell you?
36869Did n''t you know that Mr. Richlander is out in the hills, buying a mine?"
36869Did n''t you, Montague?"
36869Did n''t you, really?"
36869Did you bring the gray roadster?"
36869Did you know that Smith loaded half a dozen cases of Winchesters on a motor- truck yesterday, and had them sent out here?"
36869Did you know that?"
36869Do n''t that beat the mischief?"
36869Do n''t you agree with me?"
36869Do n''t you hear it?"
36869Do n''t you see what you''ve done?
36869Do n''t you think so?
36869Do n''t you want to see her?"
36869Do you get that?"
36869Do you get that?"
36869Do you happen to know anything about the lawsuit troubles?"
36869Do you know the first thing it did when it took hold and began to drive?"
36869Do you know what I said to myself right then, John?
36869Do you know what our present bank balance happens to be?"
36869Do you suppose I do n''t know what has happened?
36869Do you suppose I would ask any woman to marry me with the shadow of the penitentiary hanging over me?"
36869Does everybody in Brewster think I''m dead?"
36869Does she, too, call you''Monty- boy''?"
36869Does that appeal to you?"
36869Does that figure as news to you?"
36869Does this road take us back up the river?"
36869From whom?"
36869Get that?"
36869Had it indeed come to a pass at which mere money could dominate and dictate, rob, steal, oppress, and ride roughshod over all opposition?
36869Has she done it, John?"
36869Have n''t you realized that?"
36869Have we got to stand still and be shot to pieces?"
36869Have ye seen''um?"
36869Have you any good and fair right to hunt up Corry Baldwin while things are shaping themselves up as they are?"
36869Have you any means of finding out whether or not Mr. Kinzie has sent his wire to Lawrenceville?"
36869Have you come to fi- finish the job?"
36869Have you come to tell me that I can go?"
36869Have you ever felt that way?--you know what I mean, just utterly blind and reckless as to consequences?"
36869Have you heard about Smith?--or have n''t you been up long enough yet?"
36869Have you heard anything more about that?"
36869Have you seen the colonel since he left the offices last evening?"
36869Have you seen the weather report this morning?"
36869Have you telegraphed this sheriff?"
36869Have your ambitions changed, too?"
36869He did n''t say when he was coming back?"
36869He was thinking again of the young woman with the honest eyes when he said:"Do you know why I turned Williams down when he spoke to me the other day?"
36869He''ll be rather lucky if he does n''t make it, wo n''t he?"
36869How about getting back to town?
36869How about it?"
36869How about that time limit in your charter?
36869How are tricks, anyway?"
36869How are you going to get me across the river without taking me through the heart of the town and giving the Brewster police a shy at me?"
36869How did you know that was the one word to say?"
36869How do you know you''ve got the right one?"
36869How does that fit you?"
36869How is he making it?"
36869How much is this young friend of ours talking through his hat?"
36869How will you work it?"
36869How would a pot of hot coffee from the cafà © strike you?"
36869How''s tricks with you to- night?"
36869How''s tricks with you, now?"
36869I forgot to ask you: is the Eastern train in?"
36869I have n''t said a word before, have I?"
36869I suppose he has n''t, by any chance, quarrelled with Miss Richlander overnight?--or has he?"
36869I wonder if that''s what_ she''d_ say?
36869If I''ll promise to keep Tucker away from you, will you drive me out to the Baldwins''to- morrow afternoon?
36869If the colonel should ask you to, would you consider as a possibility the taking of the doctor''s job on this sick project of ours?"
36869In other words, can the money be had here at any price?"
36869Is Boogerfield still feeling sore about the man- handling Smith gave him?"
36869Is it really you, or only your remarkably healthy- looking ghost?
36869Is it the Miss Richlander you were telling me about?"
36869Is it the old sore threatening to break out again?--the''lame duck''business?"
36869Is n''t he out in the main office?"
36869Is n''t that about the way it sizes up?"
36869Is n''t there some quiet little joint where we two can go for a bite?
36869Is that what you''re trying to tell me?"
36869Is there any more fresh talk-- among the men?"
36869It was no stirring of belated sentiment that made Smith say:"You-- you cared enough to wish to see me?"
36869It''s in Indiana, is n''t it?
36869It''s two thousand dollars, is n''t it?"
36869Jibbey?"
36869Judge Warner is only a circuit judge; he ca n''t set an order of the United States court aside, can he?"
36869Just what are you expecting me to do?"
36869Kinzie?"
36869Kinzie?"
36869Let me ask you something: when you were a boy did you mean to grow up and be a bank cashier?"
36869Nice prospect, is n''t it?"
36869No gold- brick business?"
36869Now another question: you know Sheriff Harding fairly well, do n''t you?
36869Now one more question: what is Kinzie''s attitude toward Timanyoni Ditch?"
36869Now then, tell me this: how near can we come to placing that treasury stock right here in Timanyoni Park?
36869Now will you tell me what you''re needing-- and give me a possible chance to get my pay raised?"
36869Oh,_ ca n''t_ you see?
36869Our man here is from Cincinnati; is n''t that where you met him, Verda?
36869Quiet down, I say, or I''ll beat your damned head off!--oh, you would, would you?
36869She nodded, saying:"How did you know?"
36869Smith?"
36869Smith?"
36869Smith?"
36869So that''s why the Stanton people have been fighting so wolfishly for delay, is it?
36869So this is where you ducked to, is it?
36869Starbuck smoked in silence for a long minute or two before he said:"Is there another woman in it, John?"
36869Surely you can do that much for us?"
36869Surely you''ve asked yourself that question long before this, have n''t you?"
36869Tell me something, John; could this Miss Rich- garden help Stanton out in any of his little schemes, if she took a notion?"
36869Tell me: would the other woman have done as much if the chance had fallen to her?"
36869That was horribly unkind, do n''t you think-- after she had come so far?"
36869That would put the final kibosh on us, would n''t it?"
36869The brakeman felt his twisted neck tenderly and said:"If you''ll tell me that you ai n''t runnin''away from some sheriff''r other....""Do I look it?"
36869The colonel came back yesterday, did n''t he?"
36869Then he said:"Mr. Dunham-- our president?
36869Then they''re simply obliged to have your dam, or-- Don''t you see the alternative now, Colonel?"
36869Then, with a faint glow of spiteful fire in the magnificent eyes:"How can you make yourself believe that she is pretty?"
36869Then:"Do you happen to have a pipe and a bit of tobacco in your clothes?"
36869Then:"How is Williams getting along?"
36869Then:"One dinner, lodging, and breakfast of us was about all you could stand, was n''t it?
36869Then:"What are you going to think of a man who calls you up merely to beg off?"
36869There was a pause and then she went on:"I suppose you know what has been happening since you ran away-- what has been done in Lawrenceville, I mean?"
36869There was another little interval of silence and then she said:"I suppose you could n''t tell me-- or anybody-- could you?"
36869They could n''t possibly build a dam of their own, lower down, and make it work, could they?
36869Understand?"
36869Want to hear about''em?"
36869Wanted to make the High Line lose its charter?
36869Was Stanton arrested?"
36869Was his name really Smith, or was that only a convenient_ alias_?
36869Was it chance that threw us together at your cousin''s house in Guthrieville a year ago last June?"
36869Was it conceivable that this was the evening of the same day in which he had entertained Boswell Debritt at the Country Club?
36869Was it not possible that the thing the crooked president least desired was an airing of his iniquitous business methods in the courts?
36869Was it she, herself, who had told the newspaper people that there was nothing in the story of the engagement?
36869Was it something the little ranch girl said to you last night when she calmly walked away from us and went back to you at the autos?"
36869Was it the quintessence of feminine subtlety, or only honest rage and indignation, that told her how to aim the armor- piercing arrow?
36869Was it this Miss Richlander over at the Hophra House?"
36869Was n''t it so?"
36869Was n''t that the way of it?"
36869Was she pretty?"
36869Was there not more than an even chance that Dunham had offered the large reward for his apprehension merely to make sure that he would not return?
36869What I want to know is this: do you continue to stand with us?
36869What are you driving all the way around here for?"
36869What are you going to call me in this new scheme of things?"
36869What are you going to do when you are able to leave Sunrise Gulch?"
36869What could possibly happen to you or to me in the next twenty- four hours?
36869What do the men say about Smith?"
36869What do we, or any of us, know about bond issues?
36869What do you hear from Williams?"
36869What do you make of that, Billy?"
36869What do you want me to do next?"
36869What do you want me to do?"
36869What has gone wrong with you people?"
36869What have you fellows got up your sleeve, anyway?"
36869What have you to expect from me after making such an admission as that?"
36869What if I should tell you that you''ve been driving this morning with an escaped convict?"
36869What if a return to it should still be possible?
36869What if, surrendering himself voluntarily, he should go back to Lawrenceville and fight it out with Watrous Dunham in the courts?
36869What in the name of the great horn spoon can we do-- more than we have done?"
36869What in the world do you suppose could have happened to him, Montague?"
36869What makes you think I ever wore a dress suit?"
36869What sort of a man is he?"
36869What was he like-- the other man?
36869What we want to know now is this: will you let us protect you by taking your Timanyoni Ditch stock at par?
36869What will you do when he comes?--run away?"
36869What''s the next step?"
36869What''s this on your sleeve?
36869What''s your fee?"
36869What''s your lay?"
36869What''s your notion?
36869Whatever do you suppose has become of Tucker?"
36869When are you coming back to town?"
36869When did you say Mr. Dunham would be home?"
36869When he came back it was to say:"Are they sure- enough chasing you, John?--for something that you have done?
36869Where are your evening clothes?"
36869Where in Sam Hill are you taking me to?"
36869Where in the name of the jumping Jehoshaphat did you get your nerve, boy?
36869Where is he?"
36869Where is your man Smith?"
36869Where will those fellows get the water for their land?
36869Where would we be apt to catch Maxwell at this time of night?"
36869Who are you, and where do you come from, and what sort of a job have you been holding down?"
36869Who are you?
36869Who bought from these welshers?"
36869Who is he, and where did he come from?"
36869Who is your banker here?"
36869Who was he?
36869Who was this fellow Smith, and what was his backing?
36869Why did n''t you do it?"
36869Why do n''t you get action?"
36869Why does n''t daddy come back?"
36869Why the devil do n''t you get rid of him-- buy him, or run him off, or something?"
36869Will that satisfy them?"
36869Will you let me thank you very heartily and vanish?"
36869Will you meet him and tell him I''ve gone to bed?"
36869Will you say what is needful?"
36869Will you wait and take me?"
36869Will you-- er-- would you shake hands with me, Monty?"
36869Williams, do you know, I''m beginning to suspect that there is a mighty big nigger in our little wood- pile?"
36869Williams?"
36869Wo n''t you stop the car and let me go stick my face in that river?"
36869Would n''t it rise merry hell with things''long about this- away?"
36869Would n''t that make you run around in circles and yelp like a scalded dog?"
36869Would n''t you?"
36869Would you marry a convict?"
36869You are not forgetting that in the eyes of the law I am a criminal?"
36869You are not trying to tell me that you object to decent clothes and good manners_ per se_, are you?"
36869You did n''t know that, did you?--when you put me in there, I mean?
36869You did n''t let Pegleg in on it, did you?"
36869You did n''t suspect that, did you?
36869You had to come to us at last, did n''t you?
36869You have a trunk, have n''t you?"
36869You say you do n''t know her?"
36869You say your present capital stock is one hundred thousand dollars; is it all paid in?"
36869You stand to lose an even hundred- and- fifty- dollar bill on this deal; do n''t you know that?"
36869You think I''ll be so danged glad to get to some place where they sell whiskey that I''ll forget all about it and let you off?
36869You told Harding two hours, did n''t you?"
36869You understand?"
36869You were, were n''t you?"
36869You wo n''t lose him, but the wire shows us just about where we''re aiming to put our leg into the gopher- hole and break it, does n''t it?"
36869You would n''t be willing to do that now, would you?--leaving the sentiment out as you used to leave it out then?"
36869You''ll need a bank here to do business with, wo n''t you?"
36869You''ll want Harding, I take it?"
36869You''ll want us mounted?"
36869You''re not afraid to be here alone with me, are you?"
36869You''ve come to take him home?"
36869You''ve got your gun loaded: what are you aiming it at?"
36869_ Savvy?_"The deputy nodded and turned upon his heel, stuffing the warrant for Stanton''s arrest into his pocket as he went.
36869_ You_ would n''t say that the only great man is the man who loves his fellow men, and all that?"
36869_ you_ never saw the day when you could do a thing like this... you thought you had me tied up in a bunch of ribbon, did n''t you?"
36869and where had the colonel found him?
36869and whereabouts do you hold forth when you are at home?"
36869do you sit there and tell me that the three of them let that hobo of Williams''s push them off the map?"
36869or do you insist upon the privilege of seesawing every time Stanton turns up with a fresh scare?
36869would n''t that jar you, now?"
44375A lesson? 44375 Afterwards, you had them carried into the thick of the forest, to die a frightful death?"
44375Alas,cried the_ hacendero_ in accents of horror,"what name is that you have uttered?"
44375And Don Bernardo?
44375And did he execute his project?
44375And do you not dread this treatment?
44375And he persists?
44375And heard everything that was said there?
44375And knowing its dangers, dare you enter it alone?
44375And lastly,resumed Don Pedro, with much resignation,"what is the third chance?"
44375And now, is this lieutenant to be trusted?
44375And now, what are your own intentions?
44375And the horses?
44375And thus,said be,"you would leave your fellow creatures to perish in these horrible solitudes without stretching forth a hand to help them?"
44375And what are these chances?
44375And what have you learned from your spies?
44375And why have you surrounded me with spies?
44375And why not, if the offer is made in good faith?
44375And why not? 44375 And why should it not be in my thoughts?
44375And why so? 44375 And why?"
44375And will you really dare to place yourself in the power of these ferocious beings, exasperated as they are by defeat?
44375And you call this man Stoneheart?
44375And you have no more to say to me?
44375And you-- will you not join us?
44375Are there many of them?
44375Are they not men, like ourselves?
44375Are those your last words, señor?
44375Are we threatened with treachery?
44375Are you going to the_ hacienda_ of Don Pedro de Luna?
44375Are you mad?
44375Are you quite sure?
44375Are you very anxious to know?
44375Because you would kill me?
44375But again I say, What is your intention? 44375 But finally, what are your intentions?"
44375But has this man really been guilty of the infamous actions which excite your indignation?
44375But that will not suffice,_ caballero._"And why, if it please you?
44375But what connection has this horrible story with Don Pedro de Luna?
44375But what could I do? 44375 But what is the extraordinary remedy you have employed to obtain such a happy result?"
44375But why these perpetual reservations? 44375 But you are_ hijo del país_"( literally, a son of the country),--"a Mexican, at all events?"
44375But,continued the freebooter, with a glance towards the wounded lady,"for the young girl?"
44375But,enquired Don Pedro,"is it really your intention to restore these men to liberty?"
44375But,said Don Torribio,"who is to deal?"
44375Can not you understand me?
44375Can such a thing be possible?
44375Can you never hold your tongue, cursed dog?
44375Certainly not; but where shall we get the paper?
44375Certainly; do you think I intend to remain all night with you?
44375Could you not have remained neuter, and allowed these people to fall into my hands again?
44375Danger menace us under your roof? 44375 Did I not tell you so?"
44375Did I not tell you when I first began that the history was his?
44375Did my absence distress you much, Clarita?
44375Did she consent to come?
44375Did you not expect to see Zopilote when I burst into your cell?
44375Do not all men owe mutual assistance to each other?
44375Do not your spies make you aware of my slightest doings?
44375Do you address such an insult to me? 44375 Do you believe me now?"
44375Do you believe that, my son?
44375Do you dread a revolt there against your power?
44375Do you know that too?
44375Do you know the name of the man who treated you with this cordial hospitality?
44375Do you not fear they will assassinate you?
44375Do you not know that invisible eyes are watching us from the shade, and that ears are open to gather up our words, and profit by them?
44375Do you propose a partnership with me, Don Torribio?
44375Do you really intend to demand the execution of this bond?
44375Do you think so, señor?
44375Do you think so?
44375Do you want money?
44375Do you, really?
44375Does this tale relate to Doña Hermosa?
44375Dying?
44375Even if we are to be off directly?
44375For my sake? 44375 For what other purpose, then?
44375For whom, then, mother?
44375Forgive my pertinacity,said he;"but without doubt you must be acquainted with the desert you intend to enter?"
44375From the Tigercat? 44375 Has she much courage?"
44375Have I not among the dwellers in cities the reputation of being fiercer than the fierce Apaches,--even than the very beasts?
44375Have I not told you I never left you out of my sight?
44375Have I not told you so?--Or shall I remain neuter?
44375Have you any reasons for hating me?
44375Have you brought him with you?
44375Have you not heard it? 44375 Hideous snout, did you say?"
44375How am I to understand you,_ caballero?_said he.
44375How can you be afraid-- you, the most daring hunter of the jaguar I know?
44375How do we stand?
44375How many are there of you?
44375How shall I ever repay all the obligations I owe you, señor?
44375How?
44375I can not doubt it, after having witnessed its efficacy; but how were the virtues of this creeper discovered?
44375I have; and do you know what they are doing at Palermo tonight?
44375I presume this hatred of yours has cost you a round sum of money?
44375I suppose you have been well paid for this undertaking?
44375I were to restore you to liberty,continued the cavalier,"leaving you the power of acting according to your own impulse?"
44375I will admit it: what, then, do you propose?
44375I, señor?
44375I? 44375 I?
44375I?
44375I?
44375I?
44375If it is to kill me?
44375If you know all, why do you come here to question me?
44375In killing you, now you are in my power, I should only be making use of reprisals?
44375In that case, why have you attempted to assassinate me?
44375In that case,continued Don Estevan,"instead of having recourse to blind chance, why can not you fight it out with each other?"
44375In what way do you intend to introduce me to Doña Hermosa, my friend?
44375Is he alone?
44375Is it not? 44375 Is it quite prudent for your Excellency to see this man alone?"
44375Is that the reason why you left us?
44375Is that what you wish me to understand?
44375Is that wish truly in your thoughts at this moment?
44375Is the sorcerer of the Apaches- Bisons mad,said he in a voice of thunder,"that he should speak thus to the chiefs of his nation?
44375Is there any danger to be feared?
44375Is this operation indispensable?
44375Is this what is called love? 44375 Is your mutual hatred so great, that in reality it can only be satisfied by the death of one or the other?"
44375It does; but will you explain?
44375It is; but what shall I say? 44375 No more?"
44375No one?
44375Of course you know Don Pedro de Luna?
44375Of men?
44375On me?
44375One? 44375 Scarcely an hour?"
44375Señorita,said he, to the one who chance to bed nearest,"will you make me happy by dancing this_ zambacueca_ with your humble servant?"
44375Shall we kill him?
44375Since you overheard the conversation, what do you think of it?
44375So I am to understand you love them both alike?
44375So you know that, Señor Don Guzman?
44375So,said he,"you are determined to play out this game?"
44375Speak, señor,said the latter;"is there any further service I can render you?"
44375That was a pretty blow, Luco,said he, twisting his long gray moustache;"but are you not a little too precipitate?"
44375Then all is agreed between us; you will not break your word to me?
44375Then in this case murder is not assassination?
44375Then it is one you are acquainted with?
44375Then what are your objections?
44375Then what did you want from them? 44375 Then what was your intention in firing at me?"
44375Then who and what is this man?
44375Then you are content to die?
44375Then you are determined not to listen to terms?
44375Then you are not angry with me, Estevan?
44375Then you hate me?
44375Then you offer me a bargain?
44375Then you really did surprise these travellers in their sleep?
44375Then you were present at the conversation on the Isle de los Pavos?
44375Then you will bring Tonillo?
44375Then,said the sergeant,"your mind is quite made up?
44375There,_ niñas_,the lieutenant went on speaking to the damsels,"which of you is the chosen one of this breaker of hearts?
44375To kill me? 44375 To me?
44375Truly there is nothing offensive in that?
44375Was he really in such alarm about me?
44375Was it not?
44375Was it this person, then, whom you went to meet tonight?
44375Well, Diego, what is it? 44375 Well, are you satisfied now?
44375Well, comrade,resumed the cavalier,"what have you got to say to all this?"
44375Well, then, if not, what is your motive?
44375Well,she asked, immediately her son made his appearance,"what do you think of this man, Estevan?"
44375Well?
44375Well?
44375What ails this girl?
44375What are those words your bold lips utter?--How dare you venture to fling reproaches at me?
44375What are you looking for?
44375What are you saying?
44375What are you thinking of?
44375What are your projects? 44375 What charm has this mysterious stranger,"muttered Don Torribio behind his maple,"to make himself beloved like this?"
44375What could I do, mother? 44375 What did I tell you, señorita?"
44375What do I care?
44375What do you know about it, Señor Don Pedro de Luna?
44375What do you mean, brother? 44375 What do you mean?"
44375What do you think of Doña Hermosa? 44375 What does that matter?
44375What does the man want with me? 44375 What for?"
44375What good will this pertinacity do you?
44375What have I to dread from this man?
44375What is it you want with me?
44375What is it you want?
44375What is it?
44375What is that to you? 44375 What is the good of recurring to it, brother?
44375What is the meaning of this?
44375What is this, Luco?
44375What is to be done? 44375 What other?"
44375What the devil are you doing on this road, at this hour of the night?
44375What then?
44375What words are those, lieutenant?
44375Where are you? 44375 Where do these men meet?"
44375Which road do you take?
44375Who are you,_ caballeros?_said he in menacing tones;"And how dare you dispute my passage?"
44375Who are you,_ caballeros?_said he in menacing tones;"And how dare you dispute my passage?"
44375Who can tell, father?
44375Who can tell?
44375Who does not know Don Pedro de Luna?
44375Who goes there?
44375Who is the man of whom you speak?
44375Who is the man who is so inveterate against us?
44375Who is this lieutenant?
44375Who knows but that this traitor may have sold us beforehand?
44375Who says that?
44375Why do you ask me?
44375Why do you ask?
44375Why have you deceived and turned against me, instead of serving me, as you are bound?
44375Why have you returned?
44375Why recur to that event? 44375 Why should you distress him, father?
44375Why so, señor?
44375Why so? 44375 Will he sit by the council fire?"
44375Will you abandon us thus? 44375 Will you answer honestly, and frankly, the questions I am about to put to you?"
44375Will you execute all my orders, however incomprehensible, with promptitude and accuracy?
44375Will you not honour us by partaking of the repast you have gallantly offered us?
44375Will you obey this time,_ mi amo?_"Do what you will, Luco; I will obey you in all things. 44375 Will you swear so, father,--solemnly swear?"
44375Would you rather she should die?
44375Yes; but where are we to go? 44375 Yes; unless--"then, arousing himself:"How long is it since she was bitten?"
44375You acknowledge, I suppose, that you are in my power?
44375You are resolved to defend yourself to the last?
44375You are right again,said Don Estevan ironically"But the guide himself-- do you know who he is?"
44375You do? 44375 You do?"
44375You must be greatly fatigued with your long ride tonight,_ caballero._ Will you have anything to restore you?
44375You stole their horses and baggage?
44375You think so, do you?
44375You will answer for it?
44375Your last word to me? 44375 _ ¡ Canarios!_"exclaimed a tall and meagre fellow, with the mien and air of a brazen- faced scoundrel,"Are we not free men?
44375_ ¡ Caspita!_ How could it be otherwise? 44375 _ ¿ Quién sabe?_"( Who can tell?)
44375_ ¿ Quién sabe?_( Who can tell?)
44375¿ Quién sabe?
44375( who can tell?)
44375After a short hesitation, he forced his horse to make a sudden bound forward, and placing his hand on the stranger''s shoulder:"Whose voice is that?"
44375Again, I ask, what are your intentions towards your prisoners?"
44375Am I in the habit of disguising them?"
44375Am I not right?
44375And for what purpose, pray?
44375And now tell me, do you know me?"
44375And now, what are your intentions?
44375And what was the sorrow?
44375And what would it aid you to know?
44375And where do his estates lie?
44375And why not, when you deserve it?"
44375And why?
44375Are my orders fulfilled?"
44375Are you both mad for love of this_ pícaro?_"( ragamuffin).
44375Are you ready, my dear?"
44375Are you ruffling your feathers for a cock?
44375Are you satisfied?"
44375Are you turned traitor, too, by chance?"
44375As no one can read the future, you will not object to have this bond drawn up in writing?"
44375At a short distance from the_ pueblo_ is the Hacienda de las Norias de San Antonio; do you know it?"
44375At last, unable to bear the suspense any longer, he approached his brother, and said to him curtly:"What are we to do now?"
44375Besides, who can prove he was not laying a snare for you?
44375But do you really intend to venture within the_ presidio?_""Assuredly.
44375But how did it happen that you found yourself on foot in the virgin forest, so far from any habitations?"
44375But how does it happen that you are so well acquainted with the details of this miserable tragedy?"
44375But how will you escape from the Tigercat?"
44375But take heed not to show yourselves; in the virgin forest, who can tell what eyes may be upon him?
44375But who is this other cavalier?"
44375But why is it so?
44375But why these words?
44375Can I count on you both?"
44375Can a resolute man, well armed and mounted, have anything to fear from the Indians?"
44375Can one man oppose a hundred?
44375Can you now deny that I owe him my life?"
44375Did he not endure all her caprices with a patience beyond praise?
44375Did he sleep?
44375Did he wake?
44375Did she regret the confidence into which she had been led, or was she afraid of herself?
44375Did you hear?
44375Do I go at once?"
44375Do I not love you like a sister?
44375Do they not say you have been in great danger?"
44375Do we ever demand quarter-- we,_ mashorqueras?_ If we surrender, you will kill us, that is all.
44375Do you call me, the most devoted partisan of our well- beloved General Rosas, a_ salvaje unitario?
44375Do you consent to these conditions?"
44375Do you ever play?"
44375Do you fancy I will let you escape?"
44375Do you know a_ lepero_ named Tonillo el Zapote?"
44375Do you promise what I entreat?"
44375Do you really believe this wretch to be your father?
44375Do you think that I do not know how to practise Mexican hospitality, in its fullest extent, whenever it suits me?"
44375Do you understand me now?"
44375Does his modesty make him hide himself?"
44375Does my brother understand?"
44375Does not this decision astonish you?
44375Does not your family reside in the province?"
44375Does the White- Eagle still think he has the heart of an Apache?
44375Has not my father told you the story?"
44375Has this charming creature had no other effect upon you?"
44375Have I not already told you?
44375Have we again fallen into a snare, and is this man really a traitor?"
44375Have we not Don Fernando Carril to help us when our purses run dry?"
44375Have you forgotten that I am your father?"
44375Have you forgotten who I am?"
44375Have you not already discovered that all this business has been undertaken for your sake alone?"
44375Have you succeeded?
44375How can I put faith in the words you have just spoken, when your whole conduct towards me has hitherto been that of an inveterate enemy?"
44375How could you form so bad an opinion of me, señor?"
44375How long?"
44375I am here; what do you want with me?
44375I grant you that the bee- hunters maybe semi- savages, of profound cruelty; yet, are there no noble and loyal hearts, no generous spirits, among them?
44375I must make reparation for this involuntary forgetfulness; is he still in the_ hacienda?_""I think he is, señorita."
44375If you deceive me, I shall find it out, and then--""And then?"
44375In the name of the devil, what are you?"
44375Is it a case like the last?
44375Is it of much interest?"
44375Is not hospitality sacred in the desert?"
44375Is the_ rancho_ far from Las Norias?"
44375Is there anything in common between this girl and me?
44375Is there only one on the perch?
44375Is this miserable hut the meeting place of_ salvajes unitarios?_ Answer, wretch, or I will have your tongue torn out and thrown to the dogs!"
44375Is this the whole, or have I forgotten any minor particulars?"
44375It is miraculous, is it not?"
44375Must I hear it?
44375My wife--""Your wife has never ceased to be worthy of you; you will go and see her?"
44375Neither spoke; and the lieutenant continued his sarcastic speech:"But where is this valiant champion, who lets the women fight for him?
44375Nothing can change your determination?"
44375Now shall we talk a little?"
44375Now, after all, were you not aware of my being close to you?"
44375Now, here is my hand; will you take it?
44375Now, one word more: can I count upon you when the hour for action arrives?"
44375Now, what would have happened?
44375Now, where are the cards?"
44375Now, you have nothing more to say, have you?
44375Once under the protection of the French flag, who will dare to touch you?"
44375Pablito frowned, and, looking angrily across the table, exclaimed:"Do you pretend to give me a lesson,_ amigo?
44375Si otros andar menos, Consiguen más?
44375Suppose I were to go and convince myself of his death?
44375The Tigercat frowned, and replied, with rising and ill- suppressed anger:"Is it to me you speak thus?
44375The_ hacendero_ continued:"What shall we do?
44375Then the unknown turned to the father:"In what part of the body has this child been bitten?"
44375Then you intend to depart?"
44375Then you listened too?"
44375They are dancing, or otherwise amusing themselves there, I suppose?"
44375They had ridden a few hundred paces farther, when they heard the sound of a musket being cocked, followed immediately by the words,"Who goes there?"
44375Two years before our narrative commences, Don Fernando Carril had arrived at San Lucar, knowing nobody; and everyone had asked, Who is he?
44375Was there ever such an idea?
44375Well, what are we to do?"
44375Were you not pursued by the redskins?"
44375What are you afraid of?"
44375What business can he have out here, in company with those two bandits, who look like agents of Satan?
44375What can be the meaning of all this?
44375What can this mean?
44375What do you answer, warriors of the Apaches?"
44375What do you intend to do?
44375What do you know?"
44375What does it matter?
44375What does it matter?
44375What dreadful trade is it?"
44375What have I in common with you men of towns and cities, natural enemies of every being that breathes the pure air of liberty?
44375What is it you want with me?"
44375What is the good of it?"
44375What is the meaning of all this noise at such an hour?"
44375What is the meaning of this conduct, comrade?
44375What is the use of dissembling?
44375What matters to me whether I be Don Fernando Carril, or Stoneheart the Bee- hunter?
44375What storms had troubled the course of a life so calm on the surface?
44375What would you do, if you were in my place, Don Estevan?"
44375When the first shock of their sudden reunion was over, Don Guzman took his brother''s hand, and, leading him apart, uttered the single word,"Well?"
44375When the latter ceased, the son replied as follows:"Will you listen to me or not?"
44375Whence does he derive his riches?
44375Where does he come from?
44375Who are you?"
44375Who knows whether the wretch is not preparing to swoop down upon us this very moment, at the head of a band of robbers like himself?"
44375Who will avenge the death of the Black- Falcon?"
44375Who will prove it?"
44375Why did you not return to me?"
44375Why does Don Louis bear us so much malice?"
44375Why, indeed, should he trust my words?
44375Will you assist me?
44375Will you not embrace your son, too?"
44375Will you surrender, or not?"
44375Would you be the less lost for that?
44375Would you have me leave them to be devoured by wild beasts?"
44375Would you throw away ten minutes in my company?"
44375Yet for what purpose?
44375You are doubtless aware that the_ teocalis_ are hollow?"
44375You have chosen a sorry trade,_ caballero._""Who can tell?
44375You have spoken of the rule; who will tell me that Stoneheart is not the exception?
44375You know where to find me?"
44375You mean the daughter of Don Luna?"
44375You will leave us?"
44375You will, I suppose, inhabit the house you bought?
44375You, Señor Don Torribio Quiroga?
44375_ ¡ Ronde mashorca!_"[1]"Where are you going?"
44375cried Clarita:"With how many inches do we fight,_ querida?_"( my darling).
44375cried Don Fernando, scarcely repressing his rage;"You dared to follow me?"
44375cried he, showing signs of the utmost astonishment;"I assassinate you?
44375cried he;"where have you been, while we have been cutting up the_ salvajes unitarios?_ God take me!
44375cried the leader, in a harsh voice;"_ ¡ rayo de Dios!_ What does this mean,_ Caballeros?_ Does our arrival banish all pleasure from this dwelling?"
44375cried the leader, in a harsh voice;"_ ¡ rayo de Dios!_ What does this mean,_ Caballeros?_ Does our arrival banish all pleasure from this dwelling?"
44375cried the lieutenant;"I knew we should find some malcontents here,--ay, good people?"
44375exclaimed Don Estevan:"He saved your life?"
44375exclaimed the cavalier, lowering his brows,"Dare you maintain such an imposture?
44375exclaimed the poor father, clasping his hands in ecstasy;"Then she is really saved?"
44375he answered, looking astonished;"What can I think of him?
44375he exclaimed,"Is it possible?
44375laughed Don Fernando;"Is it you, Tonillo?
44375replied the other, with a sneer;"What should I be doing in the meanwhile?
44375said Don Guzman, with a look of ironical amazement;"Are you quite sure of that?"
44375said Don Torribio, bursting into a laugh;"And why do you want us to surrender?"
44375said he, with a shrug of the shoulders;"Why should I?
44375said he, with a shrug;"Was I mistaken?"
44375said he, with astonishment;"Then if I offer you the hospitality of my_ calli_, you will accept it?"
44375said he,"What do my brothers think now of the counsels of the Tigercat?
44375said the other mockingly,"Does the wind blow from that quarter?"
44375said the other, in a voice of subdued passion,"Do I know it myself?
44375sneered Clarita;"Then, pray what may be the reason of this sudden fury?"
44375the Tigercat?
42117''And?'' 42117 ''Are you satisfied?''
42117''Do you believe, sir,''the Mexican said to me,''that this bill represents the sum before you?'' 42117 ''How does that concern you?''
42117''Well?'' 42117 ''What do you want more?''
42117''Who is to deal?'' 42117 ''Why do that?''
42117''You hesitate?'' 42117 A friend?"
42117A scalp hunter, I suppose?
42117A service, Niña; say rather an order to give me; do you not know that I am happy to please you in everything?
42117Ah ah, you know Red Cedar?
42117All that is very fine,Don Pablo went on;"but can you explain to me, chief, by what you see, that the smoke is produced by a redskin fire?"
42117All?
42117And do you think I doubt it?
42117And now, gossip, answer me, if you please; what do you think of my proposal? 42117 And now?"
42117And supposing it were so,the American answered with some haughtiness,"what does it concern you?
42117And that is?
42117And that proof is?
42117And the Canadian hunter?
42117And we shall be in safety with that tribe?
42117And what is your advice?
42117And who tells you, madam,he said, with a certain degree of animation,"that if I am in the ranks of your enemies, it is not to serve you better?"
42117And who told you I wished it to be saved?
42117And why not? 42117 And you allowed her to fly?"
42117And you dare confess it to me?
42117And you,_ penni_, what is your opinion?
42117Are my brothers still the faithful allies of the palefaces?
42117Are we still far from the island where Red Cedar''s band is encamped?
42117Are you going to leave this poor creature without help?
42117Are you ready to follow me and be killed, if necessary to save Doña Clara?
42117Are you really in that state?
42117At any rate, tell me in what direction you are going?
42117Be good enough to tell me, madam, whether you found us cruel enemies last night?
42117Be it so,Don Pablo said;"but once on firm ground, what road shall we follow, as we have no horses?
42117But tell me, Sunbeam,Valentine said, after the expiration of a moment,"how comes it that you arrived here?"
42117But what shall we do to procure means of flight?
42117But what shall we do?
42117But what sort of Americans? 42117 But what the deuce is the matter with those devils?
42117But where are you going, my poor child? 42117 But who will command the band in your absence?"
42117But, in that case, why stop us?
42117By what right?
42117Can it be possible?
42117Can it be possible?
42117Can it be so? 42117 Can my brother keep on his horse?"
42117Can not wood rangers have produced the excitement you have noticed, as well as the Indians?
42117Can not you tell me what you intend doing?
42117Can the Apaches be dreaming of surprising us?
42117Can what the priests say be true?
42117Chief,the monk said,"do you suspect who the allies are Red Cedar has gone to seek?"
42117Did not my brother say that he wished to avenge himself?
42117Did you notice that, on leaving us, Red Cedar did not say a syllable about his prisoner?
42117Do I frighten you?
42117Do you fancy, then, that I am not in a condition to defend myself, were I insulted? 42117 Do you fear anything?"
42117Do you hear me, Sandoval?
42117Do you not fear the consequences of this delay?
42117Do you not know?
42117Do you not see that the man is of our own colour?
42117Do you not see,Shaw exclaimed passionately,"that she believes me guilty?"
42117Do you regret being here?
42117Do you see that?
42117Do you see?
42117Do you think so?
42117Do you think so?
42117Does my brother promise me that the man shall not perish, whoever it may be, whose life I may demand?
42117Does my sister feel her strength returned?
42117Does not Sunbeam accompany us?
42117Does the leaf detached from the tree by a high wind know in what direction it will be carried? 42117 Eh?"
42117Even if the life of a person were at stake?
42117Far?
42117For the last time, will you follow me-- yes or no?
42117For the last time, will you retire?
42117For what good? 42117 For what good?"
42117For what purpose?
42117For what reason? 42117 Good,"said Don Miguel;"and afterwards?"
42117Good; and what will my brother do?
42117Gossip,the monk said,"do you believe that we have succeeded in hiding our trail from the white hunters?"
42117Has my brother a secret communication to make to me, or does his message interest the whole tribe?
42117Has my sister decided?
42117Have I guessed it?
42117Have you forgotten that?
42117Have you not one, too?
42117Here I am,said Red Cedar;"can I be of any service to you?
42117His name?
42117How can we get her out of their clutches?
42117How do I know? 42117 How long do you expect to be absent?"
42117How long?
42117How many white men were there?
42117How so?
42117How so?
42117How so?
42117How so?
42117How the deuce can you see that, chief? 42117 How will my brothers eat, when the little provision they have is exhausted?
42117Hum,the hunter said to himself, as he watched the eagle, whose circles were growing gradually smaller,"what is the matter with that bird?
42117I do not say that; but I wish to know what you intend doing, and what our chances of success are?
42117I must, for am I not your slave?
42117I presume you intend me to undergo an interrogation?
42117I suppose you did not expect to kill us all six?
42117I suppose you did not take us for wild beasts?
42117I?
42117In a few moments the scalp dance will begin; will my brothers be present at it?
42117In that case?
42117In what direction are we going?
42117Is he not a glorious fellow?
42117Is it far from here to the Comanche village?
42117Is it true? 42117 Is my brother a chief?"
42117Is my brother a chief?
42117Is she your daughter?
42117Is that the truth? 42117 Is that why you fired at us?"
42117Is there anything else you want of us?
42117Is there anything new?
42117It is, in truth, Doña Clara,Valentine said after a minute;"what on earth can she be doing here?"
42117Kill me?
42117Kill you? 42117 Look,"Eagle- wing continued;"what did I tell you?"
42117May heaven grant it,the father remarked with a mournful sigh;"but who will advise us of what he has done?"
42117Must I not save my father?
42117My brother is on the trail of Red Cedar?
42117My brother knows it, then?
42117My brother knows it?
42117My daughter will reflect,Black Cat answered,"of what does the White Lily of the Valley complain?
42117My sister is young, but wisdom dwells in her heart; I will do what she desires-- when may I start?
42117My sister will listen; the moments are precious; has the Lily confidence in me?
42117No,the other replied,"how should I know?"
42117Now, will you surrender?
42117Of course, still it seems to me--"After all, why should I not tell you? 42117 Of me?"
42117Oh, oh,Valentine said,"what''s the meaning of this?"
42117Pass?
42117Say that you will avenge me, brother?
42117Shall I tell you? 42117 Since you have grown up have you never tried to clear up your doubts by questioning Red Cedar?"
42117Thanks, chief,Valentine continued;"but in what direction should we proceed?"
42117That is possible,said Valentine,"what is your name?"
42117That is true,the general said;"what do you conclude from that?"
42117That is true-- then you know where Red Cedar is?
42117That is true; and what is the but?
42117That is true; but why did he carry off this woman?
42117Then, why the deuce did you saddle these horses, which are useless to us?
42117Then, you are quite resolved?
42117Then, you are really going?
42117Then, your opinion is to decline?
42117Then--?
42117This evening, when we reach the spot where we are to bivouac, when your comrades are asleep--"Well?
42117This woman must have terribly insulted you?
42117To this he replied, without seeming in the least disconcerted,''You love Doña Isabella Izaguirre?'' 42117 To what tribe do those dogs belong?"
42117Unicorn is a renowned warrior, and my sister is doubtless anxious to rejoin him?
42117Very good,Fray Ambrosio went on;"but where are they to be found?"
42117Very good,he continued;"now what is the advice of my brother?
42117Very good; but shall we be sure of finding my daughter at the village?
42117Was it not for your sake alone that we joined this troop of bandits?
42117Was there no one else with them?
42117We?
42117Well, what do you say to that, chief?
42117Well, why then does my sister wish to stop me?
42117Well, you succeeded; in that case, why did you bolt?
42117Well,the Gazelle asked him,"what do you fancy the redskins will do?"
42117Well,the monk said, with a triumphant accent,"do you believe me now, señora?"
42117Well?
42117Well?
42117Well?
42117Well?
42117Well?
42117Were you not talking of that when my presence interrupted you?
42117What I say is true, is it not?
42117What I will do?
42117What are we doing here?
42117What are you coming to?
42117What are you saying?
42117What did I say to you?
42117What did he there?
42117What do I care for your wanderings?
42117What do I care?
42117What do I care?
42117What do I know?
42117What do my brothers ask?
42117What do the Buffalo Apaches want?
42117What do you conclude from these signs?
42117What do you intend doing with the girl whom a strange accident has thrown into your power?
42117What do you mean?
42117What do you mean?
42117What do you mean?
42117What do you say, gentlemen?
42117What do you say? 42117 What do you think of what the chief has just told us?"
42117What do you think, chief?
42117What do you want with me, Shaw?
42117What do you want with me?
42117What do you wish to arrive at?
42117What does Eagle- wing think of it?
42117What does my brother intend to do with his prisoners?
42117What does my brother mean?
42117What does my brother mean?
42117What does my brother mean?
42117What does my brother want of the warriors of my nation?
42117What does my brother want?
42117What for?
42117What for?
42117What friends?
42117What had become of him? 42117 What have I to fear, then?"
42117What is that?
42117What is that?
42117What is the matter now?
42117What is the matter there?
42117What is the matter, chief?
42117What is the matter?
42117What is the meaning of this?
42117What is to be done then, my friend?
42117What matter? 42117 What matters, since I wish to serve you?"
42117What obligation was that, child?
42117What the deuce can they have to say to us?
42117What the deuce do you want here at this hour, Sunbeam, my dear child?
42117What the deuce shall we do with him?
42117What the deuce would you do with her?
42117What will my sister the Lily do?
42117What will you have, then?
42117What would you of me?
42117What''s the matter with you, chief?
42117What''s to be done? 42117 What''s, the matter now?"
42117What,the general observed,"do you believe it?"
42117What?
42117When shall we start?
42117Whence did he come?
42117Where am I?
42117Where are our friends?
42117Where are they?
42117Where are you going?
42117Where are you taking us?
42117Where do you intend taking us, chief?
42117Where is Doña Clara? 42117 Where is Ellen?"
42117Where is Shaw?
42117Where is mine? 42117 Where were you going?"
42117Where, then?
42117Which?
42117Who am I?
42117Who am I?
42117Who are the friends you were going to join?
42117Who are they, then?
42117Who are you, then, to be so well informed?
42117Who are you?
42117Who is near me?
42117Who is strong enough to arrest the flight of the condor? 42117 Who knows?
42117Who knows? 42117 Who knows?"
42117Who was he?
42117Who? 42117 Whoever could understand women?"
42117Whom do you mean?
42117Why breakfast already, Harry?
42117Why do you ask me that?
42117Why do you shun me?
42117Why does Koutonepi ask the advice of his red brothers?
42117Why does she take such interest in Don Pablo?
42117Why kill the poor man, if he can be got rid of otherwise?
42117Why kill them? 42117 Why not light the fire here, instead of returning to the village, which will occasion a great loss of time?"
42117Why not, mate?
42117Why not?
42117Why not?
42117Why should I care whether they awake?
42117Why should we not be so?
42117Why so?
42117Why so?
42117Why so?
42117Why so?
42117Why so?
42117Why the Apaches sooner than others?
42117Why this emotion,Ellen continued,"which I read on your features?
42117Why this question?
42117Why weary yourself?
42117Why weep?
42117Why, have I not five hundred devoted peons on the hacienda? 42117 Will you obey me?"
42117Will your horses be rested?
42117Without hesitation?
42117Yes, but how is it to be managed?
42117Yes, did I not?
42117Yes, it must be so,Valentine said,"but why did not the chief come himself with his warriors, instead of sending you?"
42117Yes, you love me, Don Pablo; I know it; I am sure of it; and, shall I confess it? 42117 Yes,"General Ibañez objected;"but why should we not go on his trail also?"
42117Yes,Valentine remarked,"all fires produce smoke; but there is a difference in smoke-- is there not, chief?"
42117Yes: did I not save his life which his brother sought to take? 42117 You added, if my memory serves me right, that the remedy was impossible to find?"
42117You are sure of it?
42117You can remember nothing positive?
42117You have no other recommendations to give me?
42117You have the trail?
42117You heard our conversation, then?
42117You know it?
42117You love him?
42117You think so?
42117You wish it?
42117You wish it?
42117You would leave me, Sunbeam?
42117Your duty, Ellen?
42117''Have you not won?''
42117A great gambler, and adored by women, shall I repeat to you the follies and extravagances that filled my days?
42117All this is arranged?"
42117And I,"she added, with a movement of rage,"why does he not love me?
42117And how did Miss Ellen treat you?"
42117And in what way, chief, if you please?"
42117And who may these two persons be?"
42117And why were you prowling round our bivouac?"
42117And will you be long absent?"
42117And yet what had Doña Clara said to him?
42117And, besides, what do I care for life?
42117And, roughly seizing Ellen''s arm, she shook her passionately as she said:--"Who are you?
42117Answer, will you?"
42117Are they Gringos or Gachupinos?"
42117Are we far from the place?"
42117Are you agreeable, comrade?"
42117Are you aware of that?"
42117Are you satisfied now, gentlemen?"
42117As for you, Niña, have you had ever any cause to reproach me?"
42117Bloodson asked, so soon as the chief found him;"Has my brother seen anything that alarms him?"
42117But what did it contain?
42117But what interest have the Apaches in my giving this man into their hands?"
42117But what will become of you alone, and lost in this desert?"
42117But where the deuce were you going at this hour of the night, señor Padre?"
42117By what right do you cross- question me?"
42117By what strange accident had he rejoined his comrades at the moment when he had so great interest in shunning them?
42117Can I compel her to love me?"
42117Can I guess the causes on which you act?"
42117Can I really trust to your word?"
42117Can my father leave the camp?"
42117Come, Sunbeam, can you give us any advice on that head?"
42117Did not the redskins have a sufficient lesson last night, that they want to try it again?"
42117Did you not recognise anyone else?"
42117Did you not say that your camp was near here, señor Padre?
42117Do you believe, I say, that Red Cedar would have hesitated to blow out your brains, eh, chief?
42117Do you fancy I do not know what you intend doing?"
42117Do you fancy that Don Valentine has remained inactive since he left us?
42117Do you not recognise me, old comrade?"
42117Do you really consent to abandon your family and trust to our honour?"
42117Does my sister know the fate that threatens her?"
42117Does not my sister recognise me?"
42117Does that suit you?"
42117Don Pablo said,"talking of those hunters, what has become of them?"
42117Don Pablo smiled gracefully,"Why do you not ride by our side?"
42117Doña Clara asked;"What do you mean?"
42117Doña Clara repeated--"Where are you?
42117Ellen replied,"One of them was killed by the Apaches, and the other--""Well and the other?"
42117Fray Ambrosio''s last observation was correct: why feign to let her escape, when he had her in his power?
42117Hang it, what is the question, if we come to that?
42117Harry replied, ill- humouredly;"Can a redskin warrior be the friend of a white man?"
42117Has anyone insulted you, my child?
42117Have I faithfully fulfilled the obligation I contracted toward her?"
42117Have I forgotten aught-- are those all your titles?
42117Have I said well, powerful chiefs?"
42117Have you Red Cedar''s measure?"
42117How does my red brother know it?"
42117How is it that he has been at least twenty times in my presence, and his heart has never been warmed by the fire that flashed from my eyes?
42117How long did he remain in this state?
42117I am certain he is not in such haste-- are you, my good fellow?"
42117I have been assassinated by men dressed as Apache Indians, but among them I fancied I recognised--""Whom?"
42117I will not argue with you, but limit myself to saying-- of what use would it be to me to pretend to let you escape?"
42117In fact, what need had he to choose one?
42117In what way will my brother set about seizing it?"
42117Is it your heart that is speaking, Ellen?
42117Just now we escaped only by a miracle; who knows how our enterprise will turn?
42117My brother has spoken well, but the whites have a forked tongue: what proof will my brother give me of his sincerity?"
42117No one ever heard of Don Stefano again in Texas: was he dead too, without taking that vengeance which he had sworn to achieve?
42117Now, I presume that, like myself, you are all anxious to quit this island?
42117Now, as the palefaces have no canoes, as they are not otters to plunge unseen into the''endless river,''or birds to soar in the air--""What next?"
42117Our principal object is to get off as soon as possible: but why northwest rather than any other quarter of the wind?"
42117Sandoval gazed on her for a moment with profound admiration, and then answered in a trembling voice--"Good morning, child; did you have a good night?"
42117She will be happy, and if so, what matter what becomes of me?"
42117Suppose we push on?"
42117That is the proof, madam; can you now say it is false?"
42117That is what I have done, viper?
42117Their God is omnipotent, He is before all merciful; is not that a blessing?"
42117Their names were-- but why tell you them?"
42117There is, I think, in a country a long distance from here, a savage and ferocious race called the Sioux?"
42117Valentine answered, sharply;"Enough of compliments-- what have you to say to me?"
42117Valentine exclaimed with amazement,"you would give yourself up to torture?
42117Valentine said, as he hurriedly arose,"What is the matter here?"
42117Valentine said, laughing;"Where on earth do you come from, chief?
42117Was it Don Stefano pursuing his vengeance?
42117Was it sport, or did she act in good; faith?
42117We are ambushed a few steps from here, with two hundred Apaches; speak, what is to be done?"
42117Were not all good for him, and would they not all lead within a given period to the same end-- death?
42117What are you doing here?
42117What can I, a poor creature, do?"
42117What can you do to me?
42117What checks you?
42117What demoniac task was this incomprehensible being performing?
42117What do we care if the birds and serpents hear our conversation?
42117What do we wait for?
42117What do you intend?
42117What do you think of it, Don Pablo?"
42117What evil chance had brought them across his path?
42117What good would it be?
42117What had taken place during Don Stefano''s absence?--What enemy had produced these ruins in a few short hours?
42117What have you come here for?
42117What hour will my sister quit the camp?"
42117What is the matter with you?"
42117What matter to us, after all, whether she be with us, or not?
42117What more shall I tell you, Niña?"
42117What need have I of your protection?"
42117What restrains you?
42117What was he seeking in this accursed charnel house?
42117What was he thinking of?
42117What will my pale brothers do?"
42117When the bandit stopped, she said harshly:"Then you are the murderer of my father and mother?"
42117Whence arises this sudden thought of leaving me?
42117Whence arose the strange emotion that agitated me?"
42117Whence arose this strange ascendancy which she exerted over outlaws, whom she made cry like children?
42117Where are the white hunters?"
42117Where are you about to proceed?"
42117Where are you?"
42117Where is Ellen?
42117Where is your wife?"
42117Who are the people you are engaged with?"
42117Who can foresee what has happened during his absence?"
42117Who can have come to visit us?
42117Who can resist them?"
42117Who is the warrior he desires to save?"
42117Who is the warrior he wishes to save?"
42117Who knows?
42117Who was this woman?
42117Why did he go on?
42117Why do you not use it?"
42117Why wait longer?
42117Why, then, shall we no longer be their allies?
42117Will my brother Pethonista hear the news I have to impart to him?"
42117Will my brother hear the propositions I am commissioned to make him?"
42117Will the palefaces promise them safety if the warriors come to them?"
42117Will you imitate them and follow me?
42117With what will my brothers defend themselves when they have burnt all their powder?"
42117You are right, chief: we must therefore proceed northward?"
42117You have had time for reflection, I suppose?"
42117You have succeeded, so what more do you want?
42117You will not give me your confidence?
42117You wished to give us a salute, I suppose?"
42117You would do that?"
42117_ Canarios!_ what would become of us alone, lost in this confounded desert?"
42117a rough voice shouted:"What''s the matter, Black?
42117but how the deuce did he manage to get the animal up here without leaving any trail?"
42117he exclaimed,"What has happened to my poor girl?"
42117he muttered,"that''s the way she leaves me, is it?
42117he muttered;"Is there really a Providence?"
42117he muttered;"Where is Doña Clara?"
42117he said to him;"Why do we not resume our pursuit of that villain?"
42117he said, in his despair,"Can nothing move you?"
42117he said,"What proof can I give you of my devotion?"
42117he said,"Why, am I not a dead man already, poor fool?"
42117if you did that?"
42117one of the bandits said,"Has our friend any good news to impart to us?
42117said Valentine, as he withdrew his rifle,"Can Curumilla have made another prisoner?
42117she continued, reproachfully"Thanks to you, in whom I trusted, have I not fallen into their hands again?"
42117she said to him, in her melodious and pure voice,"do you not know that yours would be a useless sacrifice?
42117she said with a demoniac smile;"the fate I reserve for her, then is very atrocious?
42117the Spaniard repeated in surprise,"then you are not hung yet, my worthy friend?"
42117the hacendero continued;"By whom?"
42117the hunter exclaimed;"Do you know me too, chief?"
42117the hunter went on,"What is going on now?
42117the latter said to himself,"this seems to me a cunning scamp; let me see if I am wrong-- who are you, ruffian?"
42117the maiden exclaimed in terror,"Become the wife of an Indian?
42117what is this?"
42117what''s the meaning of this?"
56154''Does William, Junior, chew tobacco?''
56154''Does William, Junior, chew tobacco?''
56154''Little boy''s class,''huh?
56154''Sleep?
56154Ai n''t she a beauty?
56154Ai n''t you turned in yet?
56154Am I loco?
56154Am I plain enough?

56154An''as for them bandages, how did_ I_ know th''dog had been sleepin''on''em? 56154 An''if that itchin''_ trigger_-finger of_ yourn_ wants to get_ busy_ it has my permission,"he mimicked"Pop,"he said, sharply,"who_ is_ this buzzard?"
56154An''now yo''re all through with''em? 56154 An''what do you think?
56154Any news?
56154Are they_ all_ gone under?
56154But they make-- tracks, do n''t they?
56154But what-- made you think-- I might be prospectin''?
56154But why should he stalk_ me_?
56154Ca n''t you hold yore pow- wow somewhere else? 56154 Ca n''t you say nothin''else, One Ijut?"
56154Ca n''t you think of anything better''n that? 56154 Call th''dead back to life to lie for you?"
56154Can I do anything more for_ you_?
56154Changin''yore mind?

56154Did I? 56154 Did n''t I say you was an old woman?"
56154Did n''t I tell you we was two ijuts? 56154 Did n''t he have that drunken Long Pete helpin''him?"
56154Did n''t see somethin''down by yore feet, an''shoot off yore toes, did you? 56154 Did n''t you ever try it before?"
56154Did n''t you say something about him before?
56154Did n''t you tell me that th''CL was a nice ranch to work for?
56154Did you ever see two calves, wobble- kneed, friskin''around lookin''saucy an''full of h-- l an''wisdom; but actin''plumb foolish?
56154Did you hear that? 56154 Did you hear what that ki- yote said about takin''our ranch?"
56154Did you say you was goin''near th''Circle S?
56154Did you see that whoppin''big feller I got? 56154 Did you see that?
56154Do n''t it beat all how some folks allus pick th''wrong time in their yearnin''for conversation? 56154 Do you need any more punchers?"
56154Does he drink?
56154Does he want me to go south, or does he mean that that feller is south of me?
56154Does that satisfy you, or shall I heave another?
56154Drunk?
56154Fair sir, how many guns do you think we pack?
56154Find anythin''?
56154Fleming knifed, huh? 56154 Foreman, or owner?"
56154Found two?

56154Gettin''so you can find work for my knife, huh?
56154Got a match? 56154 How can I be plumb an''loco at th''same time?"
56154How can a man sleep in such a blasted uproar?
56154How do_ I_ know that th''_ next_ one is goin''past?
56154How many are left?
56154How many cows they got?
56154How many cows you thieves sold so far?
56154How many of them skunks are around here?
56154How many of''em are out here?
56154How much longer have I got to keep th''peace? 56154 How you goin''to prove it?"
56154How''d they come to drive you up there?
56154How''d you get so wet?
56154How''d you know he did?
56154How''d you like to join us instead of fightin''us?
56154Huh?
56154I wonder if he''d''a''throwed in with us,''stead of rustlin''by hisself?
56154If I''m wrong, why did Number Two stick up his hat? 56154 If a body meet a body, reachin''for th''rye,"continued the vexed voice,"whose treat is it?"
56154Ijut Number Two,said Luke pleasantly,"where are you?"
56154Is_ this_ an opportunity?
56154Just what was you aimin''at in yore talk?
56154Lay on yore stummicks, fightin''mosquitoes, an''heavin''wood on that fire at long range, huh?
56154Matter?

56154Mebby he did-- how do_ I_ know what he did when he was a boy?
56154Mebby that''s a job you''d like to tackle?

56154Scared you''ll shrink, Jim?
56154See them clothes? 56154 Seen th''others?"
56154Sheriff, or marshal?
56154Sick?
56154So all you could teach him was vile cuss words an''to like whiskey, huh?
56154So you did n''t chaw his finger, huh?
56154So you went an''got a job over there, huh?

56154Well,he said, smiling:"what did you find out about the rope?
56154What about some fishhooks?
56154What could I do, with them two fools herdin''with me?
56154What did you shoot at;''nother ki- yote?
56154What did you write?
56154What flies?
56154What is it?
56154What kind of a ranch is th''CL?

56154What''s all this to me?
56154What''s th''cow business comin''to, anyhow?
56154What''s th''matter with_ you_? 56154 What''s th''matter?"
56154What''s th''matter?
56154What''s th''use of you two old friends mussin''each other up? 56154 What''s up?"
56154Where you hit?
56154Where''s Luke? 56154 Where''s the grub shack?"
56154Who cares whether you sleep or not? 56154 Who ever heard of a four- pound brook trout?
56154Who said you was, you old fool?
56154Who th''devil are you?
56154Who was that?
56154Who''s Red Shirt?
56154Who''s been puttin''loco weed in_ yore_ grub?
56154Why did n''t you make this play when I was in my valley, pannin''gold an''gettin''a little herd together?
56154Why do n''t you learn to speak th''truth sometimes? 56154 Why do n''t you put them birds in th''house nights, an''sleep in th''coop, yoreself?"
56154Why do n''t you shift''em around an''work six, five, four; an''five, six, four; an''four, six, five? 56154 Why does he paw around that gravel bed an''pertend that he''s found gold in it?
56154Why should n''t I laugh?
56154Why should n''t I?
56154With that fire showing up everything for rods?
56154With them six cows, an''Logan missin''hundreds?
56154Wonder how much grub that ki- yote''s got?
56154Wonder how much he''ll take, purty soon, to_ let_ Ol''Silver- tip leave th''country along with us?
56154Wonder if he''s tryin''to signal somebody? 56154 Wonder what yo''re doin''down here?
56154Yes; yes; we know,soothed Fleming;"but what happened?"
56154Yes? 56154 Yes?"

56154_ Nat!_ Was that you? 56154 ''Cause why? 56154 Ai n''t aimin''to go an''hitch up with no female, are you?
56154Ai n''t there no way to get it through yore heads that I do n''t believe he''s interested in anythin''but_ us_?
56154Ai n''t you got no sense a- tall?"
56154Ai n''t you got no sense, tellin''_ him_ where Nelson is?"
56154Ai n''t you heard about it yet?
56154Ai n''t you, Dan''l Boone?
56154An''I asks you, Ladies an''Gents, if a man layin''down behind a little ridge can raise his whole body stiff an''straight, plumb up an''down?
56154An''ai n''t he a persistent cuss?
56154An''now what do you think you see?
56154An''some night when I''m sneakin''back to it, suppose one of''em is in it, waitin''for me?
56154An''what are you all dressed up for?
56154An''what kept you so long?"
56154An''what you goin''to do with that four- laigged nuisance?"
56154An''what''s all th''hellaballo?"
56154An''what''s he doin''up_ here_?
56154An''where th''h-- l did you ever hear of th''deluge?
56154An''you say they ai n''t usin''Little Canyon?
56154Any chance for a close- mouthed man up yore way?
56154Any ranches in this country?"
56154Are you all right?"
56154Are you in?"
56154Been wonderin''where I was an''what I was doin''?"
56154But he can turn, ca n''t he?
56154But how did you find me so cussed quick?"
56154But if he did get th''worst of it in an even break an''a personal quarrel, would it hurt us up here?
56154But what about that feller Pete Wilson that Cassidy wants to get rid of?"
56154But, was it, though?
56154Ca n''t you see it?
56154Ca n''t you_ see_ it?
56154Can you use Pete Wilson?
56154Comin''down?"
56154Comin''down?"
56154D-- n it, why ca n''t a man keep his friends?"
56154Dead image?"
56154Dead shore it was n''t Columbus?"
56154Did he work on th''old Bar-20 with you?
56154Did her master think that she had to hear a whistle to know that he was about, when the wind was right and he was so close?
56154Did n''t I?"
56154Did n''t I_ tell_ you that yore looks would get you into trouble?
56154Did n''t he say he was done?
56154Did you ever have any?"
56154Did you ever hear anything like it: drunk or sober,_ did_ you?"
56154Did you gimme plenty of grub?
56154Did you make that noise?"
56154Did you_ ever_ see so many of''em?"
56154Do n''t you know an opportunity when you see one?"
56154Do n''t you know that th''slug you can hear is past you?"
56154Do they smoke cigarettes?"
56154Do you reckon you could cut that bank with Colonel Bowie an''throw a little dam across th''ditch?
56154Do you think he suspects he''s bein''watched?"
56154Do you think we''re playin''some kid''s game, where th''feller that keeps still longest gets th''apple?
56154Does William, Junior, chew tobacco?
56154Ever try to argue with a bunch of wimmin?
56154Figger we''d have''em all cleaned before you arrove?
56154For G-- d''s sake, is that all you know, Andrew Jackson?"
56154Goin''to say somethin''?"
56154Goin''to try to come up?"
56154Got a cayuse?"
56154Had he unsaddled the horse when he had ridden back from the upper end of his little valley?
56154Had they gone on another raid and had he missed the opportunity of trailing them?
56154He determined to keep this a secret, for if he let it be known that he had found"color,"what excuse could he offer for leaving that field?
56154He looked closely at Quigley and suddenly demanded:"What makes you so set ag''in us shootin''him?"
56154How about it?"
56154How can I sleep with all that racket goin''on?
56154How could he snuk when he''s hog- tied, which is appropriate?
56154How did you come to pick us out to land on?
56154How long do you reckon you can hold out?"
56154How many cows they got?"
56154How many rivers do you reckon we got out here?"
56154How soon''ll it be daylight?
56154How th''devil do you suppose_ I_ knowed it was a ki- yote?
56154How''d_ I_ know you was sprawled out, takin''up all th''room?
56154How''d_ you_ like to listen to one_ now_?"
56154I got to wait till that fire dies out-- an''suppose they do n''t let it die?
56154I know they ai n''t usin''it now; but was they?"
56154I told you that I found traces of lead over near Twin Buttes?
56154I was_ that_ Johnny Nelson: know what I mean?
56154I wonder how many times I was goin''to file it sharp?"
56154I''m to leave you tomorrow, with hard words?"
56154I''ve seen him before; who th''devil_ is_ he?"
56154If you ai n''t seen no flies, how did all of them get squashed on yore face?"
56154Is_ that_ it?"
56154It was a horse; that was certain; but could it be Pepper?
56154Jim, look at that twenty- seven hand an''tell that fool what it counts, will you?"
56154Meanin''who?"
56154Mebby it would be reckless to let him disappear up here; but suppose I go on a spree in town when he''s there?
56154Mebby one of you fellers would like to sneak up here an''drag yore friend down?"
56154Need any blastin''powder?"
56154Nelson?"
56154Now what d-- d fool thing are you goin''to do?"
56154Now what?"
56154Now where you goin''?"
56154Now you say to him that I do n''t want no remarks made about what I was doin''up there-- you savvy that?
56154Now you see that little trickle of water flowin''under th''houses?
56154Now, what am I goin''to get for my outfit?
56154Now, you know this layout; where we goin''now?
56154Of course he had; why should he have neglected to do such a thing as that?
56154Oh,_ that''s_ it, huh?
56154One that does as he''s told, asks no questions, an''ai n''t particular what kind of a job it is?
56154Pop grinned a welcome:"Have any luck?"
56154Pop recommend us to you?"
56154Prospectin''?"
56154Quigley?"
56154Savvy my drift?"
56154See him, up there?"
56154See that dirt bank, on th''bend?
56154Some Old Timer tell you about it?"
56154Th''question is: Are you primed to wrastle this thing out, just me an''you, or shall I watch''em while you go back to th''CL for help?
56154That fair?"
56154Them fellers wo n''t do no rustlin''now, so how can we trail''em?
56154Then we''ve settled it, huh?
56154Think I''m one of them mejums an''has second sight?"
56154Think anybody got past me to go down there for_ you_ to shoot at?
56154Think yo''re th''only people on this ranch that has any troubles?"
56154This finishes this side, do n''t it?"
56154Twinkle, twinkle, little star-- wonder where Mr. Two- gun Nelson is located at this short, brief, an''interestin''second?"
56154Want him to heave rocks all night?
56154Want yore coffee now?"
56154Was n''t it awful?"
56154Was you askin''about Benjamin, th''catcher of lightning?
56154Was you tryin''to keep it a secret?"
56154We did n''t bring no cows with us, nor buy any afterward-- but what''s th''use?
56154Well, Frank; now what do you think of th''grand opportunity?"
56154What about''em?"
56154What are you fellers willin''to pay me if I let you leave th''country with a cayuse apiece an''all yore personal belongin''s?"
56154What business have they got to watch_ this_ end?"
56154What did you see when you was n''t killin''flies?"
56154What do I care about killin''another man''s cows?
56154What else?
56154What good will it do''em to know a man if they never see him?
56154What have you found out?"
56154What in blazes is Ben doin''?"
56154What is this young man''s name?
56154What th''devil do you think_ I_ was doin''out here all night?
56154What th''h-- l is this I hears about puttin''blankets on my cows an''shovin''''em into th''river every night?
56154What you been doin''besides courtin''Pop an''Andy Jackson, washin''gravel an''ketchin''fish?"
56154What you been doin''to get him so friendly?
56154What you find?"
56154What you got in that line, Charley?"
56154What you say?
56154What you say?"
56154What''ll you give me if I let you all clear out now?"
56154What''ll you have?"
56154What''s th''idea of this jack- in- th''-box proceedin''of yourn?
56154What''s th''matter with yore mouth?
56154What''s th''matter, Tom?
56154What''s wrong about''em?"
56154What''s wrong, Jim?"
56154What, already?
56154What?
56154When did you leave th''ranch?"
56154Where are you from, an''what have you been doin''with yore sweet young life?"
56154Where was you goin''?"
56154Where''d I get you?"
56154Where''d he say he was goin''?"
56154Where''s Art an''Frank?"
56154Where''s Fleming?
56154Where''s th''ranch?"
56154Where''s that cussed water bucket?"
56154Where''s yore cayuse?"
56154Which way was th''fool headin''?"
56154Who is that fool?"
56154Who put that sign on my door?"
56154Who th''devil ever heard a cayuse called any such a name as that?"
56154Who th''devil is_ this_ feller?
56154Why ai n''t he got back?"
56154Why are we two ijuts?"
56154Why could n''t he''a''headed for one of th''others?
56154Why do n''t you throw it away an''get a_ good_ gun?"
56154Why do n''t you_ say_ something?
56154Why should I get a new one?
56154Why should I give you fellers any share in it?
56154Why th''devil ca n''t he stay where he belongs?"
56154Why would innercent strangers wear moccasins in this kind of country?
56154Why?"
56154Will some sugar square it?
56154Will you stay for th''dance?"
56154Wonder how long he''s been up there?"
56154Would you_ lissen_ to him?
56154Yo''re near as bad as these singin''blood- suckers; an''who was it that kicked me in th''ribs just now?"
56154Yore name''s Jim Ackerman, ai n''t it?"
56154You burned-- oh, what''s th''use?
56154You comin''in or am I comin''out?"
56154You comin''peaceful, or must I drag you around?"
56154You comin''with me?"
56154You got any fishhooks?"
56154You lookin''for work?"
56154You work for Quigley?"
56154_ Ca n''t_ you?
56154_ Listen!_ Put away yore marbles, an''_ think!_""Why do n''t you fellers listen?"
56154_ Quien sabe?_""Sometimes you do have a spark of common sense,"said Pop.
56154_ Why?_ Because it''s his_ business_ to come!
56154retorted Gates at the top of his voice,"Did n''t you ever hear a slug before?
45401A summons; on the part of whom?
45401A surprise,I cried,"what is it?"
45401Agreed,answered the captain, twirling his moustache with a mocking smile,"I grant you that; what do you wish to conclude from it?"
45401Ah,''tis you, Captain?
45401All that is very well,I answered;"but what do you wish that I should do with this pícaro?"
45401Alone?
45401Am I in the power of robbers of the desert? 45401 And Tarou Niom,"pursued the chief,"thinks that I ought to dispute the passage of the Pai?"
45401And about Malco? 45401 And are you going?"
45401And how did you escape from this trap?
45401And if after that warning they were to renounce their project?
45401And notwithstanding that warning, they continue to march in advance?
45401And now?
45401And to you?
45401And towards what part is this caravan going?
45401And who, then, has so well informed them about the riches of our country?
45401And why?
45401And you think so still, no doubt?
45401And you think yourself still in a position to answer for the discretion of this caballero?
45401And you would bring me news?
45401Are these men Paulistas?
45401Are we attacked?
45401Are you then afraid, Diogo?
45401Are you then come, crossing my route, to insult me?
45401As an envoy-- that savage? 45401 At this hour?"
45401Be it so,said the count;"but prudence--""What?
45401But has there, then, been a fight during my absence?
45401But how, then, shall we fly after the combat?
45401But if I insisted that you should remain with us until tomorrow at ten o''clock?
45401But to which? 45401 But we shall not allow ourselves to be assassinated without defending ourselves?"
45401But what is he bringing us here?
45401But what is that condition?
45401But what were you saying about him? 45401 But you risked your life?"
45401But, at least, do you know how to fight?
45401But, in a word, what have you done?
45401But, then, if you have sold your secret to these men, why do you now denounce them to us?
45401But, then,cried the marquis, with the utmost surprise,"why risk your life for me?"
45401But,pursued he,"this moral certainty is founded on certain indications?"
45401But,said she, with bitter irony,"are you not a Portuguese yourself, Señor-- a Portuguese by descent at least?"
45401Can we enter, Don Torribio?
45401Come, come; that''s a joke, is it not? 45401 Come, what now?"
45401Come,said he, shrugging his shoulders,"are we not fellow countrymen?
45401Come,said Émile, shrugging his shoulders with disdain,"do you take me for a timid child that is frightened by threats?
45401Do you fear an attack?
45401Do you know your opinion is also mine?
45401Do you mean to expose yourself to great danger for a cause which in truth is indifferent to you, and only concerns me?
45401Do you not fear to become one day the victim of their perfidy?
45401Do you not know, mi amo?
45401Do you not recognise him? 45401 Do you not think that will be very imprudent?
45401Do you not understand me?
45401Do you really believe what you say?
45401Do you speak seriously, my lord?
45401Do you think so?
45401Do you think that don Zeno will already have arrived, and that we shall meet him?
45401Do you, then, think them so numerous?
45401Does Tarou Niom know him? 45401 Eh, eh, companion,"said Diogo to him in a railing voice;"how do you like that?
45401Eh?
45401Epoï, does my brother think proper to communicate it to me at once, or does he prefer to wait and take some hours of repose?
45401Even if I offered you six?
45401First and before all, let us understand one another thoroughly,pursued Émile, smiling;"here we do not talk diplomatically: is it not so?"
45401For what reason will my brother take that direction?
45401For what reason?
45401Good I believe it to be; but are you still resolved to break the truce that seven moons ago you concluded with the whites?
45401Good; so, notwithstanding all that I may say to him, he will continue to advance?
45401Good; what do you think of him?
45401Has my brother ever seen,he said,"the jaguars make war upon each other?"
45401Has not my engagement terminated, your lordship?
45401Has the mameluco explained for what reason he wished the meeting of his warriors and mine?
45401Have I not said that a long while ago I made that sacrifice? 45401 Have I not told you so?"
45401Have I then fallen into the hands of bandits, without faith or law?
45401Have we, then, scouts in the environs?
45401Have you acquired proofs of his treason?
45401Have you decided on a spot where to stop?
45401Have you finished?
45401Have you fulfilled the mission that I confided to you?
45401Have you passed a good night?
45401Have you said all?
45401He is about to return?
45401He will return without doubt, soon?
45401How do you know my name?
45401How do you know that?
45401How is that?
45401How is that?
45401How is that?
45401How is that?
45401How is that?
45401How is that?
45401How long do you think it will take to put yourself in safety?
45401How nothing? 45401 How should I know, when I come here today for the first time?"
45401Hum,answered the other,"but would you give it me?"
45401I am convinced of it; but what is to be done?
45401I do not ask anything better, Captain; you told me, I think, that you intended to quit the camp?
45401I presume, caballero,answered the young man,"that you allow yourself to doubt my words?"
45401I shall know it; chastisement or reward I shall charge with giving you; you understand?
45401I think with you, Don Diogo; but who are these accomplices? 45401 I, my lord?
45401I? 45401 I?"
45401I?
45401If at my request this caballero agrees to pardon you, will you be faithful to him?
45401In what time will we arrive at the fazenda?
45401Indeed?
45401Is he a friend who enters into a country to seize upon the riches it contains without the authority of the true masters of that country?
45401Is it a new treason by which I am threatened?
45401Is it not beautiful?
45401Is it not necessary that I go out for information?
45401Is it not the greatest insult they can offer us, to dare to invade our territory?
45401Is it not?
45401Is it, then, absolutely necessary?
45401Is it, then, war that you desire?
45401Is such the thought of the chief of this caravan?
45401Is that all?
45401Is that true, then, which, this very morning, one of my scouts told me?
45401Is there not? 45401 Is this message personal, or is it addressed to the other captains of the nation, and to the grand council?"
45401It would be his troop, then, that is coming up?
45401Just so; but what does that prove?
45401Just so; but what does that prove?
45401Just so; that is what I ask, Señor; am I wrong?
45401Look, your Excellency,said Diogo, stretching his arm in a certain direction;"do you see that grass which quivers and bends with a regular movement?"
45401Matters are serious, then?
45401My brother, has the Grand Sarigue seen the whites?
45401My brother, the Grand Sarigue, is the bearer of a message from Tarou Niom to me?
45401Now, your Excellency,said the captain, mockingly,"do you still believe we shall be saved?"
45401Of what use would be the five- and- twenty years''war that France has had, if her sons had not learnt to fight? 45401 Of what use would that be?"
45401Of whom, your Excellency?
45401On his hatred first, and then--"Then?
45401On what then?
45401Perhaps, if I were to speak to them?
45401Quite serious; is it agreed?
45401Señorita, did you not answer to the demand I had the honour to address to you by a refusal?
45401So that you are completely unaware where this wretch hides himself?
45401So the insurgents have been defeated?
45401So the whites are entering in all directions?
45401So this gentleman is a friend of yours?
45401So you also believe in treason on his part?
45401So you are going to deprive me of my freewill?
45401So you believe my word?
45401So you would give much to know where this man has gone to?
45401So,answered he,"the motive that you give me is the only one that induces you to leave me?"
45401Speak; am I not here to listen to you?
45401That is a good idea; have you any influence?
45401That is true, but if I made you that promise?
45401That is true,murmured the marquis,"but then what is to be done?"
45401That is your last word, Señorita?
45401That shall be done; have you any other recommendations?
45401The captain, Joachim Terraira, has then really set out from Villa Bella?
45401Then I may count on your kindness?
45401Then why does the chief believe in the faith of this man? 45401 Then you accept?"
45401Then you have news to give me?
45401Then, what is it you mean?
45401Then, why do you wish to leave us so quickly?
45401Then, why these arms?
45401These dogs, then, have not ventured to scour the plain during the darkness?
45401They know, then, that there are some?
45401Those people down there,pursued the officer,"are they not with you?"
45401To what are you driving, with these interminable preambles?
45401True; how long do you reckon to be on this excursion?
45401Very well; but what are the riches which these men intend to seize?
45401Welcome to the fazenda do Rio d''Ouro,said he to me joyfully, holding out his right hand, which I grasped cordially;"have you had a good journey?"
45401Welcome, what news?
45401Well, and me; what have I to do with all this?
45401Well, if I promise you to remain quiet where I am, without calling out, would you gag me?
45401Well, my lord, to speak frankly, for''tis a frank explanation you ask of me is it not?
45401Well, now,pursued Malco,"if, instead of this promise, I were to give you my word of honour as a cavalheiro, what would you do?"
45401Well, then, my name, you know, is Émile Gagnepain-- a plebeian name it is, is it not?
45401Well, what do you want with me, now?
45401Well, what matters? 45401 Well?"
45401Well?
45401Well?
45401What are these men?
45401What are you doing, Captain?
45401What are you doing?
45401What are you going to do, Monsieur Émile?
45401What can you expect? 45401 What could I do?
45401What do they relate, then, that is so extraordinary?
45401What do you demand? 45401 What do you intend to do?"
45401What do you mean to do, then, since you say you do not wish to kill me?
45401What do you recommend?
45401What do you say to my proposition? 45401 What do you want with me, Don Diogo?"
45401What do you want with me?
45401What do you want, then?
45401What do you want?
45401What do you wish to do at Buenos Aires?
45401What does it matter to you? 45401 What does that mean?"
45401What does this mean?
45401What good will it be?
45401What good will that do? 45401 What good would it do to find him?"
45401What interest induces this man to stake his life?
45401What is it?
45401What is it?
45401What is that he says?
45401What is that to the sertanejo?
45401What is the name of this man?
45401What is the reason which induces you to manifest so great a devotion-- so complete a self- denial?
45401What is this magnificent country called?
45401What is your presence to me, Señor marquis?
45401What makes you suppose that?
45401What matters it to me?
45401What matters this man to me? 45401 What may be the number of the Pai who come from Bella Villa?"
45401What news?
45401What order?
45401What question?
45401What use would it be, my lord, to speak without your authority of what you term crotchets, and what I term certainties? 45401 What use would it be, your Excellency?
45401What word?
45401What would you have done, then?
45401What, is it so long since we began the journey?
45401What, it is a question of business, then?
45401What, then, does my brother mean?
45401What, you refuse me?
45401What? 45401 What?"
45401What?
45401Where are you going to this way?
45401Where are you going, then, in this manner?
45401Where is the guide that we suspected of treason?
45401Where shall you conduct me?
45401Where?
45401Who are you, dog?
45401Who can prove it?
45401Who can say, your Excellency? 45401 Who knows if they will not soon absorb all your thoughts?"
45401Who knows, mi amo? 45401 Who knows; perhaps I may still want your assistance?"
45401Who knows?
45401Who would dare to flatter himself to frighten Tarou Niom?
45401Who, then, are you, Señor, that you ought to be thus believed at the first words?
45401Why do you ask that question?
45401Why do you ask that?
45401Why have you insisted on our leaving so suddenly?
45401Why have you not reported to the palefaces the message with which I charged you for them?
45401Why not let me go?
45401Why not tell me frankly that you wish to know my history, Monsieur le Duc?
45401Why not, if it pleases me to make it, Malco? 45401 Why not?"
45401Why should I do so?
45401Why should I do that? 45401 Why should we wait till tomorrow, my lord?
45401Why should we?
45401Why so?
45401Why so?
45401Will you answer yes or no?
45401Will you be faithful?
45401Will you listen to me for a few minutes?
45401Will your lordship allow me to speak frankly?
45401Yes, I see it; well?
45401Yes, they are with us; but what matters that? 45401 Yes, yes, I see all that; well?"
45401You are aware that I know where to find you?
45401You are mad,cried Don Roque, darting towards him;"what, do you abandon your arms?
45401You are not a spy upon us, then?
45401You do not accept my conditions?
45401You have a mission?
45401You have not, I hope, whispered a word to anyone of these absurd crotchets which possess your brain?
45401You have received my letter this morning? 45401 You have surprised the enemies of the country?"
45401You know the Duc de Mantone?
45401You remark, do you not, that this movement is only partial, and continually advances towards us?
45401You saw the man who went out of this tent a minute ago, did you not?
45401You seek to frighten me, Diogo?
45401You think so, my lord?
45401You think so?
45401You thoroughly hate me, then?
45401You wish it, your Excellency?
45401You?
45401( Who knows?).
45401Am I not master to subdue her pride?
45401Am I not the master, to dispose of what belongs to me?"
45401And had he, against all probability, succeeded in escaping?
45401And what do you call the country to which you are going?"
45401And what is he doing now?"
45401And you have told me nothing of it up to the present time?"
45401And you?"
45401Are you a man or a phantom?
45401Are you not in my pay, and consequently my servant?"
45401Are you sure of that?"
45401Arrived at some five or six paces from the travellers:"Hola, good people,"said he, in a sardonic voice,"what do you do there?
45401As to your slaves, what use would it be to frighten them beforehand?
45401At last, after ten years of incessant struggle, I succeeded in acquiring a sum of thirty- five thousand francs-- that was very little, was it not?
45401At what distance do you think we are from the Paulistas?"
45401But in such circumstances as these,"he asked,"how would you act?"
45401But what can a man on foot do against a horseman riding at full speed?
45401But what could be done with a woman more than he had done with doña Laura?
45401But what is the cause of these attentions and this respect?"
45401But what was this man, and what did he want?
45401But you are returning from a walk, it seems to me?"
45401But,"added he, with a sad smile,"of what use is it to dwell on this subject my lord?
45401Can I not try to join Don Joachim Terraira?"
45401Did I not forewarn you that this man had a tiger''s heart?"
45401Did they tell you nothing more about him?"
45401Diogo rose--"Does the Grand Sarigue leave, then, already?"
45401Do you understand me, my lord?"
45401Do you wish, then, to be assassinated?"
45401Does he not say that the war canoes will ascend the river?"
45401Does it please you?"
45401Does that suit you?"
45401Does the captain, Emavidi Chaime, recognise it?"
45401Don Zeno looked at him for some seconds with attention, and then said--"Do you admit you have merited the punishment I have inflicted?"
45401English or French, what matters?"
45401First, will you inform me in what direction you intend to proceed?"
45401Gagnepain?"
45401Have you become the sport of fortune?"
45401Have you not been able to succeed in discovering the track of that Malco?"
45401Have you read it?"
45401He answered me only by monosyllables, or by the exclamation,"¿ Quién sabe?"
45401How could I forget that meeting, which has left me so charming a souvenir?"
45401How is that?"
45401How long had he been subjected to this delicious somnolence, without name in our language?
45401How was he to vanquish her resistance, and constrain her to speak?
45401I beg and tell me, without more circumlocution, what brings you here?"
45401I cried with surprise, mingled with uneasiness;"He is gone away?"
45401I know their manner of fighting; they must have at the present moment an interest in sparing us-- for why?
45401I possessed a good horse, arms, supplies in abundance-- what more could I desire?
45401I, who for so long a time had aspired to the adventurous life of the gaucho and of the trapper?
45401If I asked pardon for that man, would you refuse me?"
45401In fact,"added he, with an ironical smile,"of what use is it to discuss an accomplished fact?
45401In what way had this murder been committed?
45401Is he not an enemy?"
45401Is it not better to leave them in entire ignorance?
45401Is not everything business in this world?"
45401It is only with boldness we can tame wild beasts; and what are men if not savage beasts?"
45401It is well done, is it not?"
45401Let us see what has become of our enemies?
45401Malco Diaz appeared to be collecting his thoughts for some minutes; then he resumed:"Can I reckon on my brothers?"
45401My brother, the Grand Sarigue, will go and ask for these canoes?"
45401Not soldiers?"
45401Now that these fellows are curbed, this is what I propose--""Well?"
45401Of what use to you now would be the possession of that secret?"
45401On what do you base such supposition?"
45401Only, who had killed the Grand Sarigue?
45401Our family became yours; all that is true, is it not?"
45401So you are charged with a political mission?"
45401Tarou Niom reminds the captain of the Payagoas of his promise; he asks him if he has really the intention to keep it?"
45401That is a good joke, is it not?"
45401That tall old man with such a haughty look and such imposing features, who sat so firmly on horseback near you?"
45401The captain understood that this cry was a signal from his unknown visitor; but to whom was it addressed?
45401The marquis made a gesture of impatience--"Is it then for you to repeat to me your sinister predictions that you stop me thus?"
45401The marquis reined his horse to the right side of the palanquin, and slightly leaning from his saddle--"Doña Laura,"said he,"do you hear me?"
45401Then turning towards the marquis, who had also passed the night without closing his eyes--"Well?"
45401Then what are these horsemen who are coming towards us on this side?"
45401Thirty leagues; no more?
45401Those flights of guaros and of kamichis?"
45401To travel, you wish to say, no doubt?"
45401Was be living?
45401Was he dead?
45401Was he really at San Miguel?"
45401Was it to him, or was it to some warriors ensconced in the neighbouring thickets?
45401We can not remain here thus; how are we to escape from the difficulty in which we are?"
45401Well, will you retrace your route?"
45401What am I to do, I who reckoned on him?"
45401What are they?
45401What business had I at Brazil?
45401What did they say?"
45401What do you think of that?"
45401What does all this mean?"
45401What for?"
45401What guarantee has this Malco given?"
45401What has happened, then?"
45401What in reality are her insults and contempt to me?
45401What is it to me to be killed?"
45401What is my brother''s name?"
45401What is the name of the good man who reasons so judiciously?"
45401What is the use of my putting myself out?
45401What more could I object?
45401What occasion had I to come to San Miguel to accompany that old Dubois?"
45401What prevents us from doing so?"
45401What price do you demand?
45401What shall I do with myself now?"
45401What thinks the chief of the Payagoas?"
45401What would you, my lord?
45401Where are they hidden?"
45401Which way are you going?"
45401Who knows?
45401Who knows?
45401Who more than I has been in a position to learn that?"
45401Why insult a man who for the last hour has endured uncomplainingly, on the part of your enemy, deadly insults?"
45401Why not think a little of the adversity which may surprise you?"
45401Why, then, did he urge me so strongly not to give him his title?"
45401Why?"
45401Will all that not make you more contented with humanity?"
45401Will nothing, then, convince you?
45401Will that suit you?"
45401Will you fight to the last gasp?"
45401Will you return with me?"
45401You are going to Tucumán?"
45401You do not intend, I suppose, to bar our passage?"
45401You have a house here?"
45401You have no suspicions?"
45401You know whom I mean, it appears?"
45401You thoroughly understand me, do you not?"
45401You understand me, your Excellency; now, suppose I am a traitor?"
45401You will not abandon me?"
45401You will not deign to answer me?
45401You wish, Señor, to regain your liberty by our giving you up your parole, do you not?"
45401Your house?
45401Your lordship,"cried the Indian, with astonishment,"you have dismissed him?"
45401[ 3] Is it not true, your lordship?"
45401cried the chief;"A Guaycurus warrior?
45401cried the officer, turning round and laughing;"Whom have we here; English, I suppose?"
45401he cried with astonishment,"What do I wish you to do?
45401he said,"The pampa is beautiful at the rising of the sun, is it not?"
45401pursued he, with a bitter smile;"And do you wish to abandon me-- you also, Don Diogo?"
45401said he with pride;"And does it not merit to be seen and appreciated?"
45401said he, with irony;"Am I then one of your people; do I belong to your nation; have you confided this secret, forbidding me to reveal it?"
45401said he,"You do not know?"
45401said he;"How many of your men have they killed?"
45401said his companion, with a shade of uneasiness;"Who can these people be?"
45401said one of the officers, placing his hand as a shade over his eyes,"Who can these horsemen be?"
45401said the Guaycurus, harshly, casting on him a look of contempt;"You who bear the garments of a slave?"
45401said the captain, looking at him full in the face;"Are you serious?"
45401said the marquis, biting his lip;"When do you intend to leave us?"
36523''Course, there''s been--"Nobody ever located those four mares an''their colts, did they? 36523 ... And your mother?"
36523A month-- Oh, I dunno--"What about a month?
36523About the horses?
36523Admit it? 36523 After I strike the road, then what?"
36523After you''ve tried to get me? 36523 Ai n''t she, though?...
36523Ai n''t that a lot of responsibility to put on one peaceful citizen?
36523Ai n''t that the truth, Tom?
36523Ai n''t you just sure, Sam?
36523Alike?
36523Am I mad?
36523An occasional drink will make her less right?
36523An''Alf''ll come to see us whenever he wants to?
36523And am I so fortunate as to have enjoyed the protection of what little there is?
36523And does what people say worry you?
36523And he whipped him because he had abused a horse? 36523 And how long ago was that?"
36523And how many calves are with them?
36523And if I do n''t choose to ride out? 36523 And playing the role of a protector?"
36523And since then you''ve been alone with your father?
36523And still think it''s worth while?
36523And that?
36523And that?
36523And that?
36523And they wo n''t respect me because I''m a woman?
36523And this other? 36523 And what is our business to you?"
36523And when you fail? 36523 And why do you keep them here?"
36523And why not? 36523 And why not?"
36523And why?
36523And why?
36523And why?
36523And will you be my foreman?
36523And you men? 36523 Anywhere?"
36523Are n''t they beautiful?
36523Are you alone?
36523Are you hurt, ma''am?
36523Are you sure of that, Jane? 36523 Are you trying to preach to me?"
36523Because this Westerner does n''t approve of the way you have lived?
36523Believe? 36523 Brother, is it possible that you are not interested in this article?
36523Brother, when a man is honest does he go to great pains to make that honesty evident? 36523 Busy, Jane?"
36523But are n''t you?
36523But do you mean that? 36523 But does n''t that mean he''ll be in danger?"
36523But have you looked at this steer?
36523But how? 36523 But if I want you and Mr. Hepburn wants you, where is the chance for trouble?
36523But if he had a comfortable ranch, with good buildings and plenty of stock, and could come to visit you at times?
36523But love: is that anywhere?
36523But what''s the use?
36523But why.... What made you do it?
36523But would n''t it have spoken more for the chivalry of the country if some man had done it for her?
36523But you--"Must I order you to let me ride him?
36523But, do n''t you see that I ca n''t feel that way?
36523Ca n''t you guess? 36523 Ca n''t you sit and talk with me a while?"
36523Can it be,he asked absently,"that I have miscounted?"
36523Can you think of anybody who would put your brand on my cattle?
36523Dick, are you mad?
36523Dick, did you see it all?
36523Did I hear you right?
36523Did it ever occur to you that there might be people who gave little attention to what others think of them?
36523Did n''t you see any other man? 36523 Did you ever see it before?"
36523Did you hear what the Reverend says?
36523Did you see any men?
36523Did you steal my calves?
36523Did_ she_ know?
36523Do n''t she? 36523 Do n''t you see that if I stayed here with you, alone, and people heard about it, they might not respect you?"
36523Do n''t you see that you''re playing with something as delicate as a mountain flower? 36523 Do n''t you see that you''re risking disaster?
36523Do n''t you think my wishes should be consulted?
36523Do n''t you think you''re a little quick in passin''judgment, Tom?
36523Do n''t you understand, dear girl? 36523 Do they_ sabe_ this country?
36523Do you fear him? 36523 Do you mean such an impossible thing as that there is someone else?"
36523Do you mean that one of these roughnecks has been making love to you?
36523Do you mean that, Dick Hilton?
36523Do you smoke?
36523Do you think that would have an effect on Bobby Cole?
36523Do you think that''s impossible?
36523Do you think we''ll ever get rich enough, Alf, to have a regular house? 36523 Do you understand that?"
36523Do you want me to?
36523Does_ that_ mean anything?
36523Go on in the rain? 36523 Go there to look it over?"
36523Goin''alone?
36523Goin''far?
36523Goin''some place?
36523Goin''to leave me, Sam?
36523Goin''to stay long?
36523Has n''t someone been working over my brand?
36523Have you always lived so far away as that? 36523 Have you got a slicker, ma''am?"
36523Have you sold any horses lately?
36523He deserved all he got, did n''t he?
36523He has been here tonight? 36523 Her name''s Jane, ai n''t it?"
36523Him, ma''am? 36523 How could you keep him out?
36523How did you get here? 36523 How did you happen to come here?"
36523How did you happen to come to this country, Cole?
36523How did you hear about it?
36523How do you know?
36523How do you suppose these calves come to be here? 36523 How else do you think he brought me?"
36523How long since you''ve seen him?
36523How many will you need?
36523How much of both?
36523How old are you?
36523How''s that, Webb?
36523How''s that?
36523How''s that?
36523How''s the new boss?
36523I believe I have lost one pen....By the way, brother, if these were your cattle how many head would you give just to get them to water tonight?"
36523I can see disadvantages to the first, but why the other?
36523I can try, ca n''t I?
36523I can--"Jail?
36523I could, ma''am, but is it necessary?
36523I did n''t know what you had--"You''d take a chance like that? 36523 I do n''t suppose women out here do smoke, do they?"
36523I expect you''d like to be foreman, would n''t you, Dad?
36523I s''pose Dad mentioned that water in Devil''s Hole?
36523I s''pose they put a man in the Gap to go to sleep, did they?
36523I sleep pretty well in th''open; how about you?
36523I suppose they all think it will mean trouble for me?
36523I take it, ma''am, that you''ll want this liquor to go where it''ll do your future the most good?
36523I was half right, was n''t I? 36523 I''m goin''to sleep right here, Sam; where are you going to turn in?"
36523I''m... wholly distasteful to you, then?
36523I''ve seen her, ai n''t that enough? 36523 If I was n''t foreman of an outfit, do you know what I''d do?
36523If an_ hombre_ took a chance with his love that''d be the limit, would n''t it? 36523 If you want''em to know, why do n''t you speak the piece yourself?
36523In just what way, ma''am?
36523In what?
36523Is he a good worker?
36523Is it? 36523 Is n''t it?
36523Is n''t there something else you want to say, Beck?
36523Is that always so?
36523Is that_ so?_Her tone was lowered, but she hissed the question at him.
36523Is that_ so?_she asked.
36523Is your memory so bad that you do n''t recollect what I told you before?
36523It''s because you love me, ai n''t it? 36523 Jail?"
36523Just about what I said: that you''d like to have this brace of drinks do your future some good?
36523Like he does to us about things, eh? 36523 Like turnin''folks out in the rain at night, for instance?"
36523Looking for me to handle you with gloves, Dad? 36523 Meaning?"
36523Men, do you know that line? 36523 Mostly bad luck, Hepburn?"
36523No brothers or sisters?
36523No one else?
36523Not here?
36523Now that brown horse''s been ridden some--"But what about the sorrel?
36523Now what?
36523Now who''s been tattling to you?
36523Now,he said slowly,"what are you going to do?"
36523Now,he said, his panting becoming less noticeable,"what do you think you''re goin''to do?"
36523Oh, all but this yearling belong to you?
36523Oh, you''ll come back?
36523Oliver, what did you do?
36523On such evidence you would charge a man with attempted murder and turn him over to the law? 36523 One of''em almost got me, boys, but a miss is as good as four or five days''ride, ai n''t it?
36523Reverend, you planned it all out?
36523Say, I wonder if the Reverend was a regular preacher?
36523See any other men?
36523See? 36523 Sent away?
36523She see you?
36523Sneak?
36523Sneak?
36523So that''s it, eh? 36523 So you lied to me again, did you?
36523So you think there_ is_ a hell, Tommy?
36523So, Tom?
36523Sure enough goin''?
36523Sure? 36523 Sure?
36523The Reverend about to offer prayer?
36523The fellow who was with you yesterday?
36523The lasting kind?
36523The new boss?
36523The sort you want to cast your lot with?
36523Them your jooles?
36523Then need we talk further? 36523 Then why did you take this liberty with me?"
36523Then will you tell the boys how come this?
36523Then you did shoot at Hepburn?
36523There he is now; see?
36523There''s another kind, then?
36523They came that close to shooting you?
36523They wo n''t even let you have peace?
36523Think I''m simple minded?
36523Think a lot of him? 36523 Think you''d know me again?"
36523This outfit uses the HC on horses as well as cattle, do n''t it?
36523This, men, is a three dollar commodity, but for the purposes of advertising I am permitted by the firm to charge you-- Two- fifty? 36523 To what do I owe the... the honor of such a summons?"
36523Tommy, ai n''t there anything you want to say? 36523 Trouble?
36523Trouble?
36523Visitor?
36523Wait? 36523 Well, there''s water an''feed an''I wanted to wean''em--""And a moment ago you said you knew nothing about this pen?"
36523Well, why do n''t you answer?
36523Well.... You ai n''t afraid of the gun, are you?
36523Well?
36523Well?
36523Well?
36523What about a month?
36523What brings you out?
36523What did you want with him?
36523What do you mean by that?
36523What do you suppose that man Webb is doing here?
36523What do you want with him?
36523What else does anybody want but friends... an''things like that? 36523 What for?"
36523What if I should fail? 36523 What is it you want with me?"
36523What is it, Two- Bits? 36523 What is it, brother?"
36523What made you change your mind?
36523What of you?
36523What th''hell?
36523What the devil are you doing here?
36523What the hell do you stay on for?
36523What time?
36523What trouble?
36523What was this Hilton to you?
36523What were they trying to do to you?
36523What would you think if I told you that it was because I do n''t like you?
36523What you doing with that horse?
36523What you goin''to kill me with, Sam?
36523What you got in your head, Sam?
36523What''s a lie?
36523What''s got into him?
36523What''s in that locket?
36523What''s meant by that, Beck?
36523What''s that?
36523What''s the idea of the locket?
36523What''s the matter with me, Alf?
36523What''s the trouble?
36523What''s your name?
36523What''s your trouble tonight, Two- Bits?
36523What''s your verdict, Miss Hunter?
36523What?
36523When you goin''to do this killing, Sam?
36523Where did they come from?
36523Where is this place? 36523 Where shall we try him?"
36523Where was you travelin''tonight?
36523Where''s Dad?
36523Which?
36523Who brands your cattle?
36523Who built this pen?
36523Who do you mean?
36523Who said anything about bein''friends?
36523Who the hell are you to be so certain?
36523Who''s Alf?
36523Who''s there?
36523Who''s this nester in Devil''s Hole?
36523Who?
36523Why at that particular time?
36523Why did n''t you tell us, my boy?
36523Why did they do that?
36523Why did you lie for me?
36523Why do n''t I think it''s wrong to steal?
36523Why''m I so different from other folks? 36523 Why, Tom, ca n''t you see what it has meant?
36523Why, ma''am?
36523Why, why not?
36523Why? 36523 Why?"
36523Will what?
36523Will you come up here and talk to me?
36523Wo n''t you come in? 36523 Would you like to start with a drink?"
36523Would you marry her?
36523Wrong, am I? 36523 Yeah?
36523Yes; do you?
36523Yes?
36523You admit bein''at the head of Twenty Mile, then?
36523You ai n''t figuring on walkin''your boots out, are you?
36523You ai n''t goin''to kill me right off, are you Sam?
36523You ca n''t mean that? 36523 You decided to stay?"
36523You do n''t care to draw?
36523You get along with the men, Jane?
36523You had these made for me? 36523 You have no scruples against drinking?"
36523You kept it?
36523You know, Hepburn, one of the first things I''d do if I was foreman of this outfit?
36523You love me? 36523 You mean he''s leaving?"
36523You mean that he has been making... making love to this girl? 36523 You mean that they steal?"
36523You mean you''ve found a lover?
36523You mean, money, ma''am?
36523You mean, that you''d ride on in the rain?
36523You mean?...
36523You reckon somebody''s goin''to steal me?
36523You s''pose he''s goin''to meet her again tonight?
36523You see, do n''t you, that that meant that men-- it must have been men who did it-- had no respect for me? 36523 You sent for me?"
36523You sure he will?
36523You think you can find the sort you''re looking for here?
36523You understand why it is being done that way?
36523You wo n''t believe when I tell you the truth....But what the devil should I care?"
36523You would n''t mind, would you, if I drove him out?
36523You''d lie for me, even if you thought I''d shot to kill a man?
36523You''d take her east, to your friends?
36523You''ll come to say good- bye?
36523You''ll see what I''m goin''to do?
36523You''re doomed to fail and even if you should hit on the one chance in a thousand of pulling through, what would you get? 36523 You''re right... in a way, but if it ever come to a show- down, I''d be the one to hold th''bag, would n''t I?
36523You''ve been here all the Spring and did n''t know anything about it?
36523You''ve been in jail once? 36523 You... you do n''t think you''d ever want to see him again, Jane?"
36523You... you never thought you used enough to hurt?
36523Your man?
36523_ You_''ll try him, ma''am? 36523 A slow shadow crossed between them as the buzzard wheeled, waiting, lazily impatient.... Beck delayed a brief interval before asking:Right here, Sam?
36523About what?
36523After you tried to frame me?
36523Ai n''t I been reasonable in turnin''a chance to make good your way?"
36523Ai n''t that elegant language?
36523Ai n''t that enough?
36523Ai n''t that enough?"
36523Ai n''t they th''grandest little things you ever seen?...
36523Always he had disliked Webb but why had this thing roused in him such tremendous rage?
36523Always in such remote places that you did n''t even see people?"
36523An''be respected by folks?"
36523And I who need you would walk alone.... Do n''t you see what a horrible thing that would be to both of us... my lover?"
36523And could he be right?
36523And did you eat?
36523And how much will he count?"
36523And she did not know... she did not know...."You are sure that I will come back?"
36523And that you think I can save her?"
36523And the question came: Why not make the best of it?
36523And what was it, she asked herself, that made her pulse leap and her throat tighten?
36523And who was that man from the East?
36523And who, pray, may she be?"
36523And your name?"
36523Anyhow, what hurt will a wetting do?"
36523Are these all you brought in?"
36523Are you keeping some suspicion of your own from me?"
36523Are you sure, Tom?"
36523Are you wholly insane?"
36523Are you?"
36523As for the other, there''s a chance to choose because--""Beck; how about him?"
36523Because there were empty shells in his revolver?
36523Believe?
36523Bobby?"
36523But I mean, could he marry folks, do you s''pose?"
36523But who could do anything?
36523But why ai n''t it wrong for me if it''s wrong for anybody else?"
36523But you wo n''t be so very mad, if I ai n''t crazy to take a chance, will you?
36523Ca n''t you say something for yourself?"
36523Can you bring him out?"
36523Can you guess what it is?"
36523Could she measure up to where a real man''s love would not be wasted upon her?
36523Could she meet this new life and beat it and make in it a place for herself?
36523Dick, are you beside yourself?
36523Dick, do you know how close I came to letting you do the thing you want to do?"
36523Did n''t Mr. Hilton give you a brand new automatic?
36523Did n''t you feel it deep down in your heart?"
36523Did n''t you guess?
36523Did you fire him, as he deserved?"
36523Do n''t you believe me?
36523Do n''t you see how you would be harming yourself?
36523Do n''t you see that I love you?"
36523Do n''t you see that?"
36523Do n''t you see you will crush it?
36523Do n''t you see?"
36523Do you know what they are saying in town?
36523Do you mean that it''s just a big job naturally or that there are complications?"
36523Do you understand how that could hurt?
36523Do you understand that?"
36523Do you young, strong men fear this man?...
36523Does he lie to make people believe he does not act a lie?"
36523Does the fact that a man is charged with some irregularity convince you of his guilt now?"
36523Even if he is inclined to be a little hot- headed, we all thought better of Tom--""Tom?"
36523For good?
36523For stealing cattle?"
36523Free?
36523Gosh, they''re too little for any spurs she can buy, ai n''t they?
36523Has something happened that is bound to come to light?"
36523Have I got to pick you up an''carry you into your house, ma''am?"
36523Have I, as your employee, your permission, I might say, your_ order_, to bring him here?"
36523Have n''t we any law to protect us?"
36523Have there been so many out here?"
36523Have you done anything?"
36523Have you put all that behind you?
36523Have you said all you wanted to say?"
36523He could cover it, hide it from others, hide it from himself at times, but drive it out?
36523He could hold off a regiment there; what chance would one unsuspecting man have?
36523He did not understand, but he liked her determination.... And what was this other stranger, this man, to her?
36523He looked at the girl who stood fingering the locket and asked himself:"Has he taken this chance to quit the country?
36523He must keep the other impressed with his inferiority...."That your pet buzzard, Sam?"
36523He seemed to calculate, but she insisted, leaning closer to him:"How many calves?"
36523He sneered:"Turned Puritan, Jane?
36523He was bunked with Jimmy Oliver and Oliver said:"What''s he doin''?"
36523He''s as much in danger as we, ai n''t he?"
36523He''s poor as a church mouse to begin with--""And buyin''more cattle?"
36523He--""And where did he go?"
36523Hepburn?"
36523Hepburn?"
36523Hilton was at Webb''s and that was enough to brand him... but how deeply?
36523His courage was the courage bred of cowardly impulses and it could not stand before fearlessness...."Right now, Sam?"
36523Honest?"
36523How can any mature man or woman do without this article?
36523How did Bobby Cole know she had turned Dick Hilton out?
36523How do you account for that?"
36523How long ago was it built?"
36523How long will it take him to get there?"
36523How''s that?"
36523Hunter?"
36523I do know that the first thing I need is an actual head for this place and that is why I called you here: to select a... a foreman, you call him?
36523I do n''t know nothin''....""Again?"
36523I guess I done that, did n''t I?"
36523I suppose that''s wrong, is it?
36523I will go so far as to promise you that he will never steal from us again... if we do this for him.... Do n''t you agree with me?"
36523I--""How many cows have you?"
36523If not today, then another time, perhaps?
36523If she had lost love, had she lost all that there was in life?
36523If they had taken you away I''d have been alone, wholly alone....""You believed me when I told''em I shot at a coyote?"
36523If you know we''ve got rights, what do you come here for?"
36523In the_ rain_?"
36523Is n''t that so?
36523It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven''?
36523It would n''t have been polite, would it, for me to drink and not let you?"
36523It''s believed, ma''am, that a woman,''specially an Eastern woman, ca n''t make a go of it out here, so what''s the use of givin''her a fair show?"
36523It''s the only time I ever let anybody else know what my plans was an''it makes me feel creepy to think somebody else_ knows!_""''Fraid of what, Alf?"
36523Jim Black, will you tell what you know?"
36523Just what game would Hepburn play... if any?
36523Later in the evening Webb said:"Sure you did n''t leave anything by the tank that''d give us away?"
36523May I bring him to you?"
36523Might I not try somewhere else?"
36523Music?
36523My calves, with your brand on them?"
36523Not more than half?"
36523Now what is your name?"
36523Now will you tell the boys where you rode this afternoon?"
36523Now you must let me pass sentence....""Sentence, ma''am?"
36523Now, why do n''t you pass up worryin''about my job?"
36523Of what?"
36523Once he said to Beck:"My gosh, Tommy, how''d you like to have wife like her?"
36523Once he walked completely about his master, slowly, reins trailing and then stopped to nose the body gently as if to say:"What is this, my friend?
36523Only...""Well, you had your chance to be foreman; why did n''t you take it?"
36523Only?
36523Or did this cartoonist make a mistake an''put your kidneys in your skull?
36523Or did you mean there was a lot_ more_ to do?"
36523Painting?"
36523Perhaps a parable is writ this night.... A pillar of fire, a smiting of the rock?"
36523Poetry?
36523See what can be done with this invention?
36523She asked:"And what if I should be?"
36523She caught something of his mood and waited a moment to summon the courage to ask very gently:"And does n''t it... does n''t love work out in life?"
36523She gave a startled laugh and asked:"Herself?"
36523She had lost the love she had found, but had she failed to gain anything?
36523She looked up at him quickly, eyebrows arched in a somewhat defiant query, and, after a pause, went on:"You do n''t seem to approve?"
36523She paused and Bobby, wide- eyed, said:"He follered you out here to... try to get you to marry him?"
36523She said quickly:"You trust me, do n''t you?"
36523She swayed back against the wall and pressed her extended palms hard against the tough logs...."On that evidence?"
36523She''s his only heir, ai n''t she?
36523Surely, she would volunteer no more and Beck asked:"Your dad around?"
36523THO?
36523That was a lie, was it?"
36523The other made no answer and after a moment Beck said:"Notice the brand on them cattle?
36523The wordless interval which followed was distressing to her so she said:"And the other forms of expression?
36523Then Jimmy Oliver, looking at Dad''s saddle, said:"What happened to your horn, there?"
36523Then, after a moment:"The picture of some cow- puncher lover, perhaps?"
36523There was something splendid about her, was n''t there?"
36523They think I''m menacing her happiness, do they?"
36523This water hole?
36523Three:"Sure is too bad to have your plans all go to hell, is n''t it, Sam?"
36523To what was Jane''s confusion due that afternoon?
36523Two dollars?
36523Understand?
36523Was her faith in herself strong enough to outride the defeat which very possibly confronted her?
36523Was it only embarrassment?
36523We are near neighbors as neighbors go in the mountains; do you think this is the best way to start in being friends?"
36523We were, the smartest people in New York, were n''t we?"
36523We''ve been pals, ai n''t we?"
36523Weak?
36523Well, that''s an incentive, is n''t it, to do my best?
36523What about that?"
36523What are you drivin''at, Reverend?"
36523What do you make of it?"
36523What else do you want to know?"
36523What else is there out here for a woman like me?"
36523What for, Two- Bits?"
36523What for?"
36523What got into you, anyhow?"
36523What have I done that would make people suffer?"
36523What if he had seen more?
36523What if it should be a chance?"
36523What is your opinion of Hepburn?"
36523What makes me hate folks that have got the things I want?"
36523What more can you ask?"
36523What now?"
36523What then?"
36523What was Hepburn doing in close talk with Webb?
36523What will you do then?"
36523What''d I do without you?
36523What''s in it?"
36523What''s the matter with him, Tom?"
36523What''s the matter, Henry?"
36523What''s up?"
36523What, indeed, will be left for you if you persist?"
36523What_ was_ up?
36523When a man who had sworn for years that he loved me proved that... it was something quite different?"
36523Who else, now?"
36523Who is in trouble?"
36523Who was it?"
36523Who?"
36523Why ca n''t you like it as it is?"
36523Why come at this time of day?"
36523Why consider his actual standing?"
36523Why continue?"
36523Why did n''t_ you_ take this up?"
36523Why do n''t I think it''s wrong?"
36523Why do n''t folks get respected for just what they are?"
36523Why do you bring it to me?"
36523Why do you do it?"
36523Why had he done that?
36523Why not fight for it?
36523Why not keep what remains?
36523Why not_ stand alone?_ Oh, she had not known the strength that had been born of Beck''s resistance to her wooing!
36523Why would you, ma''am?"
36523Why?"
36523Will you come?"
36523Will you let them through your fence?
36523Wo n''t you listen to reason?"
36523Wo n''t you name a price, give me water?
36523Wo n''t you tell me what to do?
36523Wo n''t you tell me?"
36523Women?
36523You ai n''t got nothin''to hide, have you?"
36523You ca n''t ask a man to be more''n half right, can you?"
36523You call this love?"
36523You can tell that by lookin''at her...."What makes me that way, Alf?
36523You come out here to beat the game and if you quit cold you would n''t think much of yourself, would you?
36523You did n''t do that?"
36523You did n''t find these on the road, now, did you?"
36523You do n''t feel that you''d be... be taking a chance, talking to me?"
36523You do n''t mind my asking you, do you?
36523You do n''t want to be driven out, do you, ma''am?"
36523You figurin''on marryin''the outfit or gettin''rich by honest endeavor?"
36523You going to kill me right here?"
36523You know where that is?"
36523You mean that Hilton is my enemy in the sense that he may imperil the future of the HC?"
36523You men who drink and smoke do n''t want the women to enjoy the same privilege?"
36523You must have mistaken my motive in--""You did n''t send for him to ask him to take you back?
36523You recall it, do n''t you?"
36523You recollect, do n''t you, what I told you and your crowd about driftin''into our territory?"
36523You think he''s been practicin''with a rifle and pistol for the fun of it?
36523You''ll make me keep lovin''you, wo n''t you, Jane?"
36523You''re a good cowhand and a first rate horse handler, but wo n''t you ever get anything in your head but those things?
36523Your companion, Jane?"
36523Your neighbor and associate?
36523_ No!_ One fifty?
36523_ Where_ did you get them?"
36523_"What?
36523ever?"
36523he asked wearily...."Did you see him this mornin''?"
36523it asked,"will you gain by denying her this?
36246A Kentucky party, did you say, sir?
36246A bit of local color? 36246 A flag of truce?
36246A mine-- gold?
36246A part of what?
36246A specimen, then?
36246A squaw man!--well, what if he is?
36246A youth? 36246 Am I still under arrest?"
36246Am I, now?
36246Am I? 36246 An''did ye not know, then, that she was not o''Kootenai stock?"
36246An''it''s to Owens ye be taken''the trail?
36246An''swallowed it as gospel?
36246An''you,he finally remarked, after listening in wonderful silence for him--"an''you''ve read it all, then?"
36246And I do n''t wonder, Alec, do you?
36246And a knife?
36246And a man needs no fine attributes or high morality to wield that sort of influence, does he?
36246And do you realize what that man did when he took that trail north?
36246And has he at last given it up as hopeless?
36246And he has gone to Fort Owens?
36246And is he from the cities?
36246And is that all you know about me?
36246And is that what cut your hands?
36246And know no other white people in this region?
36246And no other Indians?
36246And only a horse and a gun to keep you here?
36246And so you got back unharmed from the midst of the hostiles?
36246And that is the man suspected of stealing a few horses? 36246 And that is what you came for?"
36246And the fire?
36246And then what, Genesee?
36246And then?
36246And they have n''t showed up?
36246And we have got lost?
36246And we have n''t found the lost sheep?
36246And when am I to tell the folks you will come back?
36246And where is your Indian messenger of late?
36246And why so?
36246And you acknowledge, then, that you do n''t consider the cause of the whites as your own cause?
36246And you do n''t reckon you can trust me to tell me why?
36246And you have known no one in this country by the name of Stuart?
36246And you like it?
36246And you thought it was because of a marriage ceremony, not for the lack of one?
36246And you were watching to see if I would vanish into thin air like a Macbeth witch, were you?
36246And you wo n''t come?
36246And your friend is at Owens?
36246Are there any men among you that will get it out for me?
36246Are ye, now?
36246Are you afraid of softening of the brain?
36246Are you cold?
36246Are you fixed all right here in case of being snowed in?
36246Are you going to look on yourself as a martyr after the rest have left you here in solitary confinement with me as a jailer?
36246Are you jealous of Squaw- man- with- a- voice?
36246Are you not coming with us?
36246Are you trying to outrun the sun? 36246 Are you willing to follow me?"
36246Are you-- can you get someone to go for me-- from the camp?
36246Awake?
36246Bought her?
36246But I mean was there no one else here?
36246But Talapa has na gone from the hills?
36246But have n''t you a regular mail- carrier for this part of the country?
36246But if it is to save my own life?
36246But someone of their tribe does come to the Centre for mail,continued Stuart in half argument--"an Indian youth; have you never seen him?"
36246But there are two men,said Fred, finding her voice again, with a sense of relief;"which one do you mean?"
36246But what of Davy?
36246By the way, Miss Rachel, do you know if there is room in the ranch stables for another horse?
36246Can I not? 36246 Can we go straight across?"
36246Can ye hit the trail down at the forks without me along?
36246Can you?
36246Coming back?
36246Could you start at once with us, in the morning?
36246Davy MacDougall?
36246Did Captain Holt go?
36246Did I?
36246Did he?
36246Did n''t you find any?
36246Did she go out there at night, and alone, after we were all in bed?
36246Did that Indian go with her?
36246Did the mare throw you?
36246Did ye now? 36246 Did you meet with Indians?"
36246Did you say the night the horses were stolen?
36246Did you?
36246Do I look it?
36246Do n''t you ever expect to go back home?
36246Do n''t you know I''m likely to catch my death of cold tramping here after you?
36246Do n''t you like him?
36246Do n''t you think,said Tillie softly to Stuart,"that Rachel would win more glory as a missionary to the Indians than among her own race?
36246Do you call that a bed?
36246Do you come in for your share of commiseration?
36246Do you expect to live your life out here, like this?
36246Do you know the country northwest of here?
36246Do you know them very well?
36246Do you know where it is-- Hardy''s? 36246 Do you know where we are, my girl?"
36246Do you live here in the Chinook country? 36246 Do you mean the Indian boy who brought me that black bear''s skin?
36246Do you mean, is it true?
36246Do you not agree with my idea of marriages between whites and Indians?
36246Do you reckon there is any woman in the house who would speak to me if she could get out of it-- anyone except you?
36246Do you want a share of our supper?
36246Do you want to walk to the ranch?
36246Do you, Rachel?
36246Does he swear?
36246Does he? 36246 Does it belong to you?"
36246Does that state of existence impress itself so indelibly on one''s physical self?
36246Doing a bit o''prospectin'', then?
36246Engaged, is he?
36246Find any? 36246 For what purpose?"
36246Fred, my dear, you have met Mr. Genesee, our scout? 36246 From the Kootenais?
36246Genesee gone?
36246Genesee, why do n''t you let the other folks at the ranch, or the camp, know you as I do?
36246Getting supper?
36246Go where you please, only you''d better keep clear of the old gang, for I wo n''t buy you from them again-- kumtuks?
36246Gold hunting?
36246Gone!--where?
36246Had n''t you better shove in a couple more?
36246Had n''t you better wait for company, Miss?
36246Has Mowitza ever before had to carry double?
36246Has n''t she? 36246 Have I not, then?"
36246Have you come back to the Kootenai country for good?
36246Have you dared--"No, I have not told her, if that is what you mean; why-- why should I?
36246Have you ever been scared so badly you could n''t yell, Aunty?
36246He has not visited you since my arrival, has he?
36246He is-- sorry,whispered Genesee,"and talks wild-- but-- you know now?"
36246Hostile?
36246How about that saddle, now, Jim?
36246How are you?
36246How do you know he is a tenderfoot?
36246How do you know or imagine so much of what I feel?
36246How long have you been here?
36246How long have you been out here, Miss Rachel?
36246How long since you left Fort Owens?
36246How much?
36246How old are you?
36246How so?
36246How''s that for second sight?
36246How''s that, Aunty?
36246How''s that?
36246I am that-- for four weeks, if need be; but does it look like that out?
36246I came out to help you with the things,she remarked from her post in the door- way;"where are they?"
36246I do not mean to be rude, but do you mind telling me if work is a necessity to you?
36246I had never realized before that she had grown up or that she was prettier than anyone I knew, until you warned me about it-- you remember?
36246I have n''t been here since yesterday, and am afraid you did n''t find much-- any fresh meat?
36246I imagined they were traveling on foot, did n''t you?
36246I reckon you know I''m an Indian?
36246I''ve been told something of the man''s character,said Rachel,"but have forgotten his name-- Bald Eagle?"
36246I? 36246 I?
36246If I want to turn guide and drop digging in that hill back there, why should n''t I? 36246 Ill- feeling?"
36246In God''s name, Genesee, is this true?
36246In here?
36246In what tunnel was he injured?
36246Indeed,remarked Stuart, with attention impressively flattering;"may I ask how it was effected?"
36246Is Mowitza here?
36246Is he not?
36246Is he that?
36246Is it entirely Chinook they are talking? 36246 Is it those of inferior tribes that are bartered, or prisoners taken in battle?"
36246Is it you, Genesee?
36246Is it? 36246 Is it?"
36246Is n''t he? 36246 Is that all?"
36246It sounds Russian-- is it?
36246Jack Genesee, do you intend ever to come to see us-- I mean to walk in like your old self, instead of looking through the window at night?
36246Jack, you will do what I ask?
36246Jack,and her other hand was reached impulsively to his,"what''s the matter-- what makes you speak like that now?"
36246Jack?
36246Kalitan wait?
36246Killed him?
36246Klahowya, Rashell Hardy?
36246Look here,and the young fellow straightened up with the conviction that he had struck the question,"is it because of my-- marriage?"
36246Major come yet?
36246May I ask what that is for?
36246Me? 36246 Meaning that I did?"
36246Money?
36246More kind? 36246 No later news of that scout, Genesee?"
36246No-- why?
36246No? 36246 No?
36246Not much farther to go,she remarked;"wo n''t they be surprised to find you carrying me into camp like this?
36246Nothing?
36246Now I want his rifle, his knife, a snake- skin belt, and a necklace of bear''s teeth-- who''s got them?
36246Now that you have found me, are you going to leave me here all night?
36246Oh, cam''ye here the fight to shun, Or herd the sheep wi''me, man?
36246Oh, he has?
36246Oh, he told you, did he?
36246Oh, it is Kalitan, is it? 36246 Oh, you come to me now, do you?"
36246Oh, you do?
36246Oh, you want too much,she answered briskly;"I am content to sit up all night, if I only can find a dry place to stay in-- do you hear that?"
36246Perhaps I felt so; is that weakness an added cause for trying to bar me out from the Kootenai hills?
36246Rashell Hardy?
36246Rashell Hardy?
36246Rashell Hardy?
36246Rather late to be out alone, Miss, ai n''t it?
36246Say, Miss Rache, yer given''me a straight tip on this lay- out?
36246Say, Miss Rachel,broke in Jim,"was Kalitan a Kootenai Injun?"
36246Say, did you get any letters for me?
36246Say,he added uneasily,"have you any money?"
36246Shall I go there at once, or pour your coffee first?
36246She does n''t approve of our savage mode of life, does she?
36246Slaves?
36246So am I,acknowledged her confederate;"you an''me is most alike about our eatin'', ai n''t we?
36246So you are going?
36246So you come this time to lay out proposals to me, eh? 36246 So you''re one of the party I''m to look after on this cultus corrie?"
36246Tell Jack Genesee,she said, turning to him in complete negligence of arguments just used,"that Rachel Hardy sends to him greetings-- you understand?
36246That in Chinook means the deer, does it not-- or the elk; which is it? 36246 That is the Indian you spoke of this morning, is it not?"
36246That so?
36246That''s so,said Genesee, with brief sympathy;"big gang?"
36246The Arrow fly down; come back how soon?
36246The Arrow? 36246 The Kootenais?
36246The guard will not leave the door?
36246The lass-- Rachel? 36246 The last from Grey Eagle or yourself?"
36246The same thing that took you from camp at three yesterday and kept you out all night?
36246Then why do they do it, if they are ashamed of it?
36246Then why do you always seem to be skirmishing around for work?
36246Then you refuse to tell me where you spent the night?
36246Then, lass, ye''ll ne''er tak''leave o''the Kootenai hills?
36246Then, since you can tell this much in his favor, can you tell why he himself refused to answer so simple a question?
36246Therefore,reasoned this feminine watcher,"it is seldom that we see him as he really is; query-- why?"
36246This morning? 36246 Though he is younger than yourself?"
36246To know you''re right?
36246To me? 36246 Up into this country?"
36246Was n''t she?
36246Was this Genesee of another tribe?
36246Well, are you going to escort me home, or must I go alone?
36246Well, did you find any white men among the Kootenais?
36246Well, is it time to be moving?
36246Well, there is n''t anything more to say, is there?
36246Well, what then? 36246 Well, who knows but that I may develop into a worker; is industry contagious here?"
36246Well, why not?
36246Well,he said sharply;"what have you brought me?"
36246Well--and Rachel glanced over at her, noting that she looked both amused and hesitating--"well, what is it?"
36246Well?
36246Well?
36246Were they friendly?
36246Were you so much alarmed?
36246What are you going to do here, Davy MacDougall?
36246What brought you out to the stable?
36246What day do they look for your father back?
36246What did they do to you?
36246What did you find to cook?
36246What did you have it made for?
36246What difference does it make whether the man''s wife has been red, or white, or black, so long as she suited him? 36246 What difference whether an act is deliberate or careless, so long as the effect is evil?
36246What do ye mean by that, lass?
36246What do you call a torch in Chinook?
36246What do you call it?
36246What do you know about it?
36246What do you mean? 36246 What else could you do?"
36246What have you been doing with the man?
36246What is it? 36246 What is it?"
36246What is it?
36246What is the matter back there?
36246What is the matter with the man?
36246What is the white thing moving along that line of timber?
36246What made you ask that?
36246What matter about the hour, Miss Rachel?
36246What of Nard Stevens?
36246What possessed you to go to- day, Rachel?
36246What territory is that?
36246What was that you said?
36246What would you suggest as an improvement on their simplicity?
36246What''s the matter with everyone this morning?
36246What''s the matter with that?
36246What''s this?
36246What''s up? 36246 What''s up?"
36246What, then?
36246What? 36246 What?"
36246What?
36246When did she leave?
36246When may we look for you back?
36246When you brought him his horse?
36246Where has Mr. Hardy gone?
36246Where would you have slept?
36246Where''s his blanket?
36246Where''s your gallantry, MacDougall?
36246Where, Kalitan?
36246Where?
36246Where?
36246Whereabouts?
36246Which trail did she take?
36246Who do you want?
36246Who is it?
36246Who told you this?
36246Who''d be paying the post?
36246Why did n''t you come home?
36246Why did n''t you stay at home, as I told you to?
36246Why myself more than another?
36246Why not now?
36246Why should he be? 36246 Why, how far is it?"
36246Why, it is n''t cold-- are you? 36246 Why, look here, old fellow, what''s up?"
36246Why, papa,broke in his commanding officer,"you are not going to turn scout or runner, are you, and leave me behind?
36246Why, this same Arrow is called Kalitan,broke in Jim;"an''what''d you make out of that?
36246Why-- why did she not write to me?
36246Will I do, Jack?
36246Will it be of use?
36246Will that matter much to the company or the command?
36246With you?
36246Wo n''t sending him up among the Indians do just as well?
36246Worse? 36246 Worse?
36246Would you eat nothing because it was mine?
36246Ye dinna like him, then?
36246Ye have, have yeh?
36246Yes, a big jar full,reported the steward;"an''here is a little crock half full of eggs-- prairie- chicken, I guess-- say, can you make a pone?"
36246Yes, but when Rache and I have gone back to civilization?
36246Yes, ca n''t you see?
36246Yes, it was in the night,answered the Captain,"about two o''clock; but you surely knew about it?"
36246Yes? 36246 Yes?"
36246Yes?
36246Yes?
36246Yet he is a horse- thief,she said, in that tone of depreciation that expresses praise,"and he sent me his glove?
36246You are Annie''s boy?
36246You are doing this for me,he said, drawing her to him,"without knowing whether I deserve shooting or not?"
36246You are such old friends, then?
36246You did?
36246You have a great deal of impatience with anyone who is not a worker, have n''t you?
36246You have a hard time of it with me, have n''t you, dear? 36246 You have read and measured it, have n''t you?"
36246You have seen Kalitan?
36246You know nothing of the country in that direction?
36246You mean that you two have been getting supper alone?
36246You think I''m a bit loony, do n''t you, Davy MacDougall? 36246 You took his wife from him?"
36246You two are old neighbors, are you not?
36246You''re just about the same place where you watched the sun come up once-- may be you remember?
36246Young Indian?
36246Young or old?
36246Your cause?
36246A blessin'', say you, Miss?
36246A half- breed?"
36246A touch of remorse even led her to lay a couple of fingers on the sleeve of his coat, to remind him of her presence as she repeated:"And then?"
36246Again and again Genesee''s eyes seemed to say,"Can it be you?"
36246An''so they''re flittin''to the Reservation to live off the Government?
36246An''ye come from Holland''s without a guide?
36246And how many do they marry?"
36246And how shy you were, and how secret-- was it not delightful?
36246And is that a brother-- the lad there?
36246And may I ask who he is, this white man with the Indian name-- what is he?"
36246And now may be you''ll just tell me whose horse I stole?"
36246And pray what it is that-- a chief rich in lineage and blooded stock?
36246And she-- she allows them to call her so?"
36246And the prisoner?
36246And then, after he had gone from her, could it be so?
36246And think, after all these years, that I''m to be talked over to what you want by a few soft words?
36246And this girl-- it is someone you-- love?"
36246And was the half- breed girl one of the few timid ones?
36246And we owe it to him that we see you here alive again?
36246And what did you do?"
36246Are you afraid of fighting?"
36246Are you going to, papa?"
36246Are you going with us on foot?"
36246Are you going?"
36246Are you not getting a little mixed, Professor?"
36246But do you understand that it is as hard sometimes to be thought too highly of as to be accused wrong- fully?
36246But does n''t it seem strange to think of Mr. Stuart being married?
36246But it''s comin''down solid,"he gasped;"where are you?"
36246But the cause of it?
36246But was he quite uncouth?
36246But what''s the argument?"
36246But where?
36246By the way, Clara, who prompted you to this lecture-- Hen?"
36246By the way, I suppose you do n''t care to add Professor of Languages to your other titles, do you, Mr. Jack Genesee?"
36246By the way, I wonder if it is Mrs. Stuart?
36246Ca n''t you see out?"
36246Can I?
36246Can I?"
36246Can you give me a bottle of brandy and some biscuits?"
36246Can you make a dash for it and get away?"
36246Can you mind that?
36246Come, are you ready?"
36246Could he sing?
36246Could you give me space to live in for a while, without my being a nuisance to the establishment?"
36246Davy MacDougall, did you bring me nothing at all as a relic of your trip?
36246Death brings back the curves of youth to aged faces sometimes-- is it the only change that does so?
36246Did he stop to ask if I was entirely a proper sort of person before he started to hunt for me that time in the Kootenai hills?"
36246Did he tell you and Jim that she was his wife?"
36246Did he, for an instant, mistake it for another hand that had slipped into his that one night?
36246Did you catch me?"
36246Did you ever hear folks about here speak of old Davy MacDougall?"
36246Did you meet them?"
36246Did you say you had some biscuits?
36246Did you see the bear?"
36246Do you folks go to bed with the sun?
36246Do you hear?
36246Do you know he is very rich?"
36246Do you know there''s a big lot of meaning in those words, Miss, especially to a man who has n''t known what home meant for years?
36246Do you know what it is to absorb the elastic breath of the mountains at the awakening of day?
36246Do you mean that you think of-- of me like that-- tell me?"
36246Do you see?"
36246Do you suppose I have no natural curiosity as to how we are to get there, and when?
36246Do you think you would care for a closer acquaintance?"
36246Does living in the woods make people feel like monarchs of all they survey?
36246Does that seem strange?
36246Does your neighbor ever have any better manners, Rachel?"
36246For heaven''s sake, what have you been doing?"
36246Genesee?"
36246Genesee?"
36246Genesee?"
36246Genesee?"
36246Going?"
36246Gramachree, Mavourneen; oh, wo n''t you marry me?"
36246Had her instincts then told her truly when she had connected his presence with the memory of that older man''s sombre eyes and dogged exile?
36246Had the other died, or was it only asleep?
36246Had there ever been any of their music published?
36246Had they any?
36246Had they possessed any to begin with?
36246Hardy promised; and Kalitan presented himself, with the usual interrogation:"Rashell Hardy?"
36246Has she been here?"
36246Have you any matches?"
36246Have you any report to make?"
36246Have you heard this?
36246He did not answer at once, and Captain Holt spoke again:"What is the object of digging up that Indian?"
36246He did not answer at once-- was he trying to remember that also?
36246He took to hanging around Scot''s Mountain more than of old, with the query,"Maybe Genesee send lettah-- s''pose?
36246He was talking soberly, if rather brusquely; but-- that strange look in his face at first?
36246He would do all right for the poet- prince-- or was it a king?
36246Help me up, will you?
36246How about your chief of scouts-- is he asleep, too?"
36246How am I as a guesser?"
36246How dare you?"
36246How dared you-- how dared you do it?"
36246How did it happen?"
36246How do you expect to live always in this out- of- the- way place?"
36246How does it pan out in the balance with half- breeds?"
36246How often is it brought to the ranch?"
36246How would they listen to this story?
36246How''s that as a trade for six months''work?
36246Hunting good?"
36246I felt so ashamed I cried, and yet I knew I was right all the time-- now what are you laughing at?"
36246I guess everyone seems a different person with different people; but you wanted to tell me something of yourself, did n''t you?"
36246I know it''s rather late, but if he is awake, it does n''t matter, I suppose; or is no one allowed to see him?"
36246I only ask one thing-- you will not, unless it is the last means of saving your own life, turn one of these against my friends?"
36246I wo n''t stand in your way much longer; wait till I come back--""You are coming back?
36246I wonder if these Chinook winds have a tendency to softening of the brain-- have they, Hen?
36246I would n''t take a man from the place, so--""What about a woman?"
36246I-- I-- suppose so; but how are you to get there?"
36246If they had so many kind words now, why had they not found some for him when he needed them?
36246If you see him, will you send him to the house?"
36246Is Jim the usual mail- carrier?"
36246Is breakfast all ready?
36246Is it any wonder I rebel?"
36246Is it hard to learn?"
36246Is n''t it beautiful?"
36246Is she not a picture?
36246Is that it?"
36246Is that message much to remember?"
36246Is that the effect we are supposed to have on the character of our lords and masters?"
36246Is the manuscript on the table in your room?
36246Is there any?"
36246Is your name Jack Genesee?"
36246It''ll be the''divarsion''you were suggesting a little while back; and if Mr. Hardy wants a guide, give me a recommend, ca n''t you?"
36246Jack?"
36246Jim looked at him with surprised eyes, and managed to stammer,"How are you?"
36246Jim, how far do you suppose we are from home?"
36246Just keep quiet and let me get to bed, will you?"
36246Kalitan, will ye be building up that fire a bit?
36246Klat- awah si- ah-- do you understand?"
36246Laugh though the world may at the vibrations of poet hearts echoing the songs of the youngest of seasons, how can they help it?
36246Live in the cabin if you want; only get out in the spring-- do you hear?
36246May I expect to be presented to his interesting family to- morrow, Rachel?"
36246Might it not have been only that?
36246Mr. Jack,"she said easily;"got wet, did n''t you?
36246No?
36246None of the men sighted them?"
36246Now, can you do that?"
36246Now, have you any pressing reason for loafing down here any longer?
36246Now, hearken to that-- will you?"
36246Now, what are you going to do about it?"
36246Now, why do n''t you say,''Just as you like, Miss?''
36246Of what use were words, if he should never come back-- never know that he was cleared of suspicion?
36246Only by Rachel saying,"He is my friend; will you not listen?"
36246Past chuck?"
36246Rachel answered him then brusquely:"You saw a white man with the Kootenais, did you not-- one who lives as they do, with a squaw wife, or slave?
36246Say, Tillie, did we look altogether ridiculous?"
36246Say, suppose you hustle Aunty up about that supper, wo n''t you?
36246Say, was it that Injun cook o''his you was afeared to eat after?"
36246She felt the hand on her shoulder trembling; was it with her weight-- and he so strong?
36246She said it so deliberately that he could not but feel some special thing was meant, and asked quickly:"What?"
36246She scarcely knew what to say, and yet could give no sensible reason for such embarrassment; and then--"The lad-- what lad?"
36246She wondered if it was Genesee the girl was hiding from, and if so, why?
36246Sit you down close that I can see ye-- a sight good for sore een; an''I have no heard o''ye?
36246Sleep well?"
36246So you have a bit of natural, womanly weakness?"
36246Sometimes he would say:"S''pose you hear where Genesee is-- may be?"
36246Stickin''to that old trail was a pay streak-- hey?"
36246Stuart?"
36246That torch ready?"
36246That''s enough said, is n''t it?
36246The action recalled him to the immediate practical things, and he said:"Think I can stay all night here?"
36246The clouds were comin''up heavy, she said, and she must get home before the snow fell; an''it snows now?"
36246The hope?
36246The silence was so long that Stuart himself was the first to lift his eyes to those opposite, and tried to say carelessly:"Well?"
36246The slow, half- bitter words impelled her to continue:"Then you-- you heard the-- the conversation over there?"
36246The story?
36246The voice had an insinuating tone, as if it would express"will you stop it?"
36246The whites here blame you for helping the trouble-- the beginning it, the--""You mean the horse stealing?"
36246Then Kalitan wo n''t be over?"
36246Then she fell to wondering about that half- breed girl who had hid back of the ponies; was it Genesee she was afraid of, and if so, why?
36246There is only one more hill to cross until we reach camp-- is there not?"
36246They knew, or believed, that here was the one man who had the power to save them, if he cared to use it; but would he?
36246This is-- my-- my--"Did he say wife?
36246To feel the cool crispness of the heights, tempered by the soft"Chinook"winds?
36246To stand far above the levels and watch the faint amethystine peaks catch one by one their cap of gold flung to them from an invisible sun?
36246WHAT IS A SQUAW MAN?
36246Want him?"
36246Was he asleep, or only resting?
36246Was he asleep?
36246Was he then to come back and again drop his life into its old lines?
36246Was he thinking as she was of that ride and its revelations?
36246Was he watching them, too?
36246Was it an omen of good?
36246Was it for that he was still singing?
36246Was it really an understanding of him?
36246Was it so in this case?
36246Was she trying to fathom his meditations, or determine how far they were to affect her own future?
36246Was their guide one of those heroes of the border whose face is a thing of terror to Indian foe?
36246Was there a sort of fate that had set her apart for this sort of thing?
36246We do n''t like cooking our own grub, do we, Mowitza?
36246We''ll both be down at your camp by sun- up to- morrow; will that do?"
36246What about that transfer?"
36246What are you doing here?"
36246What did you do with the horses, Jim?"
36246What do you intend doing with your share?"
36246What do you think of that?"
36246What has he done?"
36246What have you to say for yourself?"
36246What is it Kalitan?"
36246What is it you are talking about?
36246What is it?
36246What is it?"
36246What is it?"
36246What is the quotation, to begin with?"
36246What matter the sort of person one has been, or the life one has lived if he come out of it with knowledge and the wish to use it well?
36246What right had he for such a wish?
36246What right had he to let go of himself as he had done, and show her how his life was bound up in hers?
36246What sister could ever yet see the reason for a sister- in- law''s blind adoration?
36246What time this morning?"
36246What was it you shot this time, Alec-- a pole- cat or a flying- squirrel?
36246What was it?
36246What was that verse about-- giving back the pledge when-- the sun goes down?
36246What was there left for the man to say?
36246Whatever the cause of that quick attention, she noticed it, and added:"Well, Mr. Genesee, do n''t you think so?
36246When you''re owned by a whole regiment, it''s so hard to gather up any dignity, or keep it if you do get hold of it; do n''t you think so?"
36246Where are they?"
36246Where are you bound for?"
36246Where was all that glory of the east at sunrise which those two had once watched from a mountain not far from this?
36246Who is your friend?"
36246Who taught you them?"
36246Who was the man?"
36246Who''s in command?"
36246Why did n''t you come?"
36246Why did n''t you tell me?"
36246Why did you not?"
36246Why should I not tell them you brought me?"
36246Why wo n''t you come in the house?"
36246Why, you are begging on a full hand, Mister; and what are you begging to?
36246Why?"
36246Why?"
36246Will the Arrow carry a message as it flies?"
36246Will ye no''light an''have a crack at a pipe an''a glass?"
36246Will you help me, please?"
36246Will you not come to me?
36246Would he meet her again with that queer, distant manner of his?
36246Would it fall?
36246Would it stay where it was?
36246Would n''t you love to read it?"
36246Would they grant him a hearing now?
36246Yes, I suppose so-- yet,''a woman whom I cared for, and who was lost-- long ago!''--Lost?
36246Yes, you did, Mr. Stuart-- didn''t he, Mrs. Hardy?
36246You are unjust-- don''t I know?"
36246ai n''t it?"
36246and where are you going?"
36246asked Talapa sullenly, her back against the wall as if in a position to show fight; that is, she said"Pe- kah- ta?"
36246asked a deep, rather musical voice from the cabin door;"and your national love for the''winsome sex,''as I''ve heard you call it?
36246but, for the benefit of the civilized reader, the ordinary English is given--"And why so?"
36246could she carry double?"
36246he returned; and having regained the use of his tongue, he added, in an easier way:"You''ll excuse me, lady, if I sort of scared you?"
36246he said, with a good deal of relief in his manner;"were you the scarecrow?
36246laughed the older woman;"one would think you were married yesterday and the honeymoon only begun, would you not, Alec?
36246lost?"
36246or for what?
36246or would they shoot him down, as the soldier had shot Snowcap, with his message undelivered?
36246said Jim, taking a peep at it;"it''s gettin''as brown as-- as your hair; an''them berries is done, an''ai n''t it time to put in the coffee?"
36246said his sister, commiseratingly;"to think of her being exiled in that park, twenty miles from a white woman!--didn''t you say it was twenty?"
36246she asked in a clearer, more matter- of- fact way, as she propped herself up on his outstretched arm;"and did you come alone to find me?"
36246she asked, drawing her chair close beside him and glancing comprehensively about the cabin;"weather- board it up for winter?"
36246she asked;"giving him some potion brewed by an Indian witch?
36246she called sharply;"when was it the stock was run off from camp-- what time?"
36246she growled, quoting MacDougall;"what does the fellow mean by shouting like that this time of the night?
36246she persisted;"is he a sort of Mormon, then-- an Indian Mormon?
36246she repeated;"have you heard any word of him?"
36246she said, in a maze of conflicting revelations; and Jack looked at Stuart, as she added,"and who were you?"
36246she said;"she did not have such a load when she came over this road before; it was the day after you joined us, do you remember?"
36246that is it?
36246then you have n''t much faith in a tenderfoot getting through the hostiles or snow- banks?"
36246what proof have you that will weigh against courage like that?"
36246what''s that?"
36246who''s that?"
36246wo n''t you marry me?
46457''Fraid I''ll run for it?
46457A judge ask help from an outlaw who is wanted for murder in a dozen States?
46457Ai n''t it funny how folks always shoot over, when shootin''down a slope?
46457Ai n''t yuh afraid Boston will be comin''a- tearin''back here?
46457Ai n''t yuh goin''to ask me if Oi seen Pete Cable down that dude?
46457An''--have you spoken to him?
46457An''because he said that yuh figger he knows what''s comin''?
46457An''what will this precious client of yours offer?
46457An''who killed old man Reed?
46457An''who the devil are we goin''to fight?
46457An''your dad, John Reed, owns this outfit?
46457An''yuh say it was Steve Brandon who started gettin''Jack down here?
46457And the gal?
46457And when you told him I wanted him to come, he would n''t?
46457And where is the-- the Jim Allen now? 46457 And yuh lied deliberate to fool Jim?"
46457And-- if-- if----Then the bank will foreclose?
46457Any rustlin''since then?
46457Anythin''happen last night?
46457Apache?
46457Are you in love with Toothpick? 46457 Are you scared I''ll drop your hero?"
46457Are yuh sayin''good- by to Jack?
46457Arizona-- he knows me?
46457Bill sorta showed up as a windbag, did n''t he?
46457Boss in the back room?
46457But is he coming?
46457But suppose I met a rustler?
46457But the rustlin''goes right on?

46457Yuh send it all right?

46457Yuh sent for me?
46457Yuh set a trap for Jack? 46457 Yuh still got Honey Boy, the hoss yuh stole from me?
46457Yuh thinkin'',''cause I claims to be a friend of Slivers-- an''as Spur says he was there, mebbe I was, too, when the old man got his?
46457Yuh thought he was the Wolf?

46457Yuh wanted to be along in the ruckus, kid?
46457Yuh was sayin''?
46457Yuh was sayin''I was a wampus?
46457''Cause did n''t he down them rustlers what gunned the old man?
46457''Cause why?
46457After Allen had vanished into the night the sheriff said admiringly:"Gosh, ai n''t he a hellion?"
46457After a moment she asked falteringly:"He''s your brother?"
46457After he had lighted it he turned to the messenger and asked thoughtfully:"Who''s this gun- slingin''hombre?"
46457Ai n''t there a chance of gettin''the little cuss a pardon?"
46457Ai n''t we even then?"
46457Ai n''t yuh one yourself?
46457Allen?
46457An''ai n''t he goin''to marry Dot Reed?
46457An''was n''t there any men in this town to take that kid''s part?"
46457And he''s going by himself to trail her?"
46457And now what good had it done?
46457Are yuh his friend?"
46457As a sort of dare?
46457Bust that door down?
46457But what did the little outlaw hope to gain by studying that window?
46457But what was it?"
46457Could he get it?
46457Could it be some woman Slivers Hart had sent?
46457Did n''t yuh feed me pie an''let me steal some for my hosses?
46457Did n''t yuh steal Honeyboy from me?"
46457Did you ever hear of Jean Napoleon?
46457Did yuh see her?"
46457Do n''t yuh see, Bill?
46457Do you know him?"
46457Do yuh know that letter just appeared out of nowhere?
46457Do yuh know what they do-- them little jaspers?
46457Do yuh think them four will give her up?
46457Do yuh-- do yuh ever hear from him?"
46457Gents, what''s yourn?"
46457Had he proof about the men he accused?
46457He added greedily:"Yuh aimin''to give us a piece of that?"
46457He knew them, but would they remember him?
46457He sent yuh gents here?"
46457Him or tother?"
46457How do you know?
46457How does that figger out?"
46457How were the rustlers disposing of their stolen stock?
46457How''d yuh know?"
46457How?
46457I''m askin''yuh, who are yuh?"
46457If Slivers Hart was rustlin''cows, how come there warn''t no cows on the ranch when the sheriff seized it?
46457If yuh did n''t, who did?"
46457Is she hurt?"
46457Is that the little bum who just discovered guns are loaded?"
46457Is there a stable in that block?"
46457John Reed is dead an----""John Reed dead?"
46457Lookin''for your own picture or figgerin''on nabbin''some of them gents?"
46457Maybe yuh recollect a hombre what used to hang out along the Texas border about seven years ago what called himself''_ le Diable à Cheval_?''"
46457McAllister?"
46457Now, why not be sensible?
46457Ruin my wife and child?"
46457She could not resist saying:"You know who will come after me, do n''t you?
46457Some fool idea of learning something from a letter?
46457Suddenly the sheriff looked up and asked hopefully:"You seen Allen?"
46457That night they robbed yuh-- yuh say the kid they downed was dressed in his underclothes an''was n''t armed?"
46457The White Wolf?
46457The hobo''s truculence vanished, and he whined:"Nothin''--where we goin''to eat?"
46457The judge''s face went white as he whispered:"You-- you mean that letter from_ them_?"
46457Then catching sight of the hostler, he grinned at him and added:"What yuh think of Jim now?"
46457Then he figures some one what was there to- night is playing with the Lava Gang?"
46457Then why?
46457They got me in the shoulder----""And those two hundred two- year- olds?"
46457They walked toward the others and arrived in time to hear the judge ask them:"Who do you suppose did this?"
46457They''ll sure search me in jail-- so why did I bring along these here letters?"
46457Want to go along an''ast him for a job?"
46457Was he too late?
46457Was this a threat, or a mere statement of fact?
46457We have a fourth brother; can you guess who he is?"
46457What are you going to do about her?"
46457What could happen to him?"
46457What did yuh find out?
46457What do yuh say we capture it an''sell it to some museum?"
46457What do yuh suppose he''d do?"
46457What happened?
46457What happens if we go chargin''in there?
46457What in blazes did he mean by that, and where''s he been for the last six days?
46457What is your name?"
46457What right had he to bring ruin on his family?
46457What were they waiting for?
46457What yuh lookin''at me like that for?
46457What''s your game?"
46457What''s your name an''where do yuh come from?"
46457What''s yours?"
46457When?"
46457Where am I?"
46457Where did they go?"
46457Where did yuh get all the loose language at?"
46457Where had he heard that voice?
46457Where is he?"
46457Where was Allen?
46457Where we goin''now?"
46457Where''s them hosses of mine?"
46457Who downed Dutchy?
46457Who downed him?"
46457Who is that boy?"
46457Who would be the third victim?
46457Who''s the darn fool?"
46457Who''s with yuh?"
46457Why do n''t they take a gent their own size?"
46457Why does n''t he tell a fellow what he''s doin''?"
46457Why had Baldy backed down, when Anderson confronted him?
46457Why had Jim done this thing?
46457Why lean over so straight you fall over backward?
46457Why not be reasonable?
46457Why not send for him?
46457Why not work things to have a hung verdict?
46457Why?"
46457Will he live?"
46457Will you give me their names?"
46457You say that Allen insists that Snippets is being held captive in the lava beds?
46457Yuh ever heard tell of the Allen twins?
46457Yuh figger that gal is still waitin''for yuh?"
46457Yuh got somethin''on your mind?"
46457Yuh reckon he''s figurin''up somethin''?"
46457Yuh savvy we are in Mexico?
46457Yuh see them trees along the base of that bluff?
46457Yuh still got them grays yuh had then?"
46457Yuh want to meet me there?"
46457Yuh want to ride with me, or are yuh goin''to fork that ol''bag of bones?"

37943Are you going clear to Pike''s Peak with a wheel- barrow?
37943Are you really in earnest, Ralph?
37943Are you the first? 37943 Aw, you do n''t think you''re ever going to get there with that contraption, do you?"
37943Besides, we''ve a gold mine already, have n''t we? 37943 Both of them?"
37943Bound for the Peak, are you?
37943Broken down? 37943 But how much land will be ours to dig in?"
37943But they would n''t be raising dust, would they? 37943 But we can go to digging gold, the first day we get there, ca n''t we?"
37943But where are we? 37943 But would His Honor loike to try a pan, first?
37943But you said I could go right away, Pa; did n''t you?

37943Do n''t see''em, do you?
37943Do n''t suppose there are any Injuns watching, do you?
37943Do n''t you believe them, then?
37943Do n''t you intend to fill your sacks?
37943Do n''t you work any more?

37943Where''s Harry?
37943Where''s Harry?"
37943Where''s the gold?
37943Where''s your camp?"
37943Where''s your partner, and how are you making it in the mines?"
37943Which are you going to be-- Denverites or Aurarians?"
37943Which way you going?"
37943Who is he and what does he want around here?"
37943Who''s Pat Casey?
37943Why ca n''t we?"
37943Why did n''t you mention it before?"
37943Why do n''t you and Harry mine together?"
37943Will Your Honor keep the dust for a token?
37943Will he pay me a dollar and a half a day?"
37943Will you record our claims?
37943With that team?
37943Would he do it?
37943Would the herd never be past?
37943Would ye like to try ag''in?"
37943Would yez like to buy a nice claim?"
37943You did n''t want to sell, did you?"
37943You going to ride Jenny and make me ride Duke?
37943You know me, I reckon?"
37943You know what Virgil says--_facilis decensus Averni_, eh?"
37943You see that flat- top mountain-- the first mountain in the northwest?
37943You t''ink to poot potatoes in dem?
37943You want to see?"
37943You''re the boys from the Big Blue, are you?
37943You''ve got one, have n''t you?"
37943_ Could_ he do it?
37943this is a big place, is n''t it?"
33066''Brother, what is your name?'' 33066 ''How could I harm you?''
33066A house of your own?
33066A journey? 33066 A knockout?"
33066Abraham, what shall I do to him? 33066 Accident, I suppose?"
33066Ah, you have traveled?
33066Ah,said Connor,"you have pulled against a headstall here, eh?"
33066Ah?
33066Ai n''t it, now?
33066All of these mountains-- you see?
33066All this for my horses?
33066Allowed to live?
33066Am I a fool?
33066And I say to you, Benjamin,said the master of the Garden:"what wrong have these fools done to me with their folly?"
33066And Paul said:''How can I follow the living when the dying call to me?'' 33066 And after you,"he concluded,"what of the horses, David?"
33066And at that rate it would require a hundred like Abra to buy Glani?
33066And can you judge the little colts?
33066And do you hear nothing?
33066And each time you have left the valley you have gone no farther than Parkin Crossing?
33066And everything else you''ve ever wanted: beautiful clothes? 33066 And has Glani ever bowed his head for any man saving for me?"
33066And he raises horses like that?
33066And how did he warn you?
33066And how, David, do you hear the voice? 33066 And if you have no sons?"
33066And is not fire a blessing?
33066And is not that far enough?
33066And nobody''s been up there to try to buy''em?
33066And now you''re going to have me bewitched, eh?
33066And now, Benjamin, you are weary?
33066And what do you think of the justice of David?
33066And what dying message for David?
33066And what have you out of it? 33066 And what is it that you know from Haneemar?"
33066And what was the further judgment of Abraham, the old man?
33066And where,asked Connor, completely at sea,"did you learn of Haneemar?"
33066And yet,muttered Connor,"why is she here?"
33066And you do n''t know why no one is allowed inside the valley?
33066And you still think of the old days?
33066And you?
33066Angry with him? 33066 Are there more horses like that in the valley?"
33066Are there more like him?
33066Are you a man?
33066Are you afraid? 33066 Are you done?"
33066Are you double- crossing me?
33066Are you going to let that beautiful little thing die?
33066Are you going to starve yourself because she''s sleepy?
33066Are you going to wait to see that?
33066At least,said Connor, raising his cup and breathing the delicate bouquet,"this wine is Bordeaux you imported from France?
33066Aye, and what of Benjamin?
33066Because of what?
33066Because they are foolish,said David,"should I take advantage of their folly?
33066Been off the wire long?
33066Ben, can you pet a tiger after you''ve seen his claws?
33066Ben,cried the girl softly,"why did you do it?
33066But are you sure, Zacharias? 33066 But can the horse win?
33066But did n''t you think the room was beautiful?
33066But do you really think I can make him leave the valley?
33066But does everybody know about these grays?
33066But how can I let him come near me-- now?
33066But how do you know they succeeded? 33066 But how will he know?
33066But shall I tell you a strange thing? 33066 But the curse of Haneemar, Abraham?"
33066But the third time you remembered my order?
33066But this voice of yours in the Room of Silence-- why did n''t it put you wise to my game? 33066 But what did you think of my game?"
33066But what do you think of him?
33066But what each man is trembling for, and what each man has risked his money upon, is this question: Which of all those is the fastest horse? 33066 But what of them?
33066But what shall I say?
33066But why did you leave?
33066But will you believe me?
33066But would n''t you like to go back?
33066But you only brought one; nothing else worth while in the valley?
33066But-- why does that old man keep sneaking around us?
33066By the Lord, Ruth, who''d ever have guessed at all this fire in you? 33066 By whom?"
33066Ca n''t another man ride your horse?
33066Ca n''t we walk?
33066Can you beat that? 33066 Cigarette?"
33066Could I do anything better? 33066 Could a human voice have spoken more clearly than that voice spoke to my heart?
33066Could you be away from the Garden?
33066D''you see?
33066Dangerous?
33066Dangerous?
33066Did a friend of yours play that race?
33066Did you mark?
33066Did you see the colt shy at the white rock as he ran? 33066 Do I gather that the only Eden Grays that are sold are the poorest of the lot?"
33066Do I want heaven?
33066Do n''t I know, Ben? 33066 Do n''t take long for this mountain air to brace up a gent, does it?"
33066Do n''t they grab the coin of other people? 33066 Do n''t you see that it''s beautiful?"
33066Do n''t you see?
33066Do they wait so long, and live apart?
33066Do you call on him?
33066Do you come from Tennessee, Zacharias?
33066Do you have to be away from her? 33066 Do you hear?"
33066Do you know what I thought of when I heard you talk?
33066Do you know what I''m used to? 33066 Do you know what I''ve been doing while I watched you just now?"
33066Do you mean this?
33066Do you mean to say that you are going to flog that poor fellow because he took a gift from me?
33066Do you mean to say this babble is getting you?
33066Do you see him?
33066Do you see nothing else?
33066Do you think David Eden keeps him here as a spy on us?
33066Do you think he worships the sun?
33066Do you think it''s only that?
33066Do you think me a tinder and dry grass? 33066 Do you think my eyes are weak?
33066Do you think, Elijah,he said at last,"that I shall be so grieved to know that you and the others will leave me and the Garden of Eden?
33066Do you wish to know what I see and hear, David?
33066Does the deaf- mute own the horses?
33066Elijah, you were with him?
33066Even Glani?
33066Every wish is a regret, and why should I fail of gratitude to God by making my wishes? 33066 Five times?"
33066For what reason?
33066For what reason?
33066For when I leave you of what do you think, and what do you do? 33066 France?"
33066From which?
33066Ha? 33066 Had he become a prophet?"
33066Happiness?
33066Happiness?
33066Have I done it right?
33066Have I forgotten the whip?
33066Have n''t I told you about his Room of Silence? 33066 Have n''t you had years of happiness out of it?"
33066Have they returned likewise? 33066 Have you come to take me out of the Garden of Eden?"
33066Have you had a good look at Lightnin''?
33066Have you no wish to leave your valley for a little while and see the world?
33066He guessed so much? 33066 He said:''Why are you here?
33066He will not return?
33066His mind went back to that? 33066 How do men make a jewel seem more beautiful?
33066How do you know that God has n''t come to him here? 33066 How long ago was that?"
33066How long have you been working here?
33066How much will you pay?
33066How often does he come out of the valley?
33066How old is that brown yonder-- the one the boy is just mounting?
33066How?
33066I have kept you waiting?
33066I see a blue sky like this, with the wind and the clouds in it and all that stuff--"All of what?
33066I suppose you had something down on him?
33066I wonder do you know?
33066I''ve come too late for breakfast, even?
33066I? 33066 If he does n''t pass the colt do you know what happens?"
33066If the world, after I see it, still displeases me, when I return, will you come with me, Ruth? 33066 If you live in this valley, David, what will men know of you?"
33066If you loved me could you have made me do what I''ve done? 33066 If you''re kind of dry for a drink,"he said,"I might rustle you a flask of red- eye--""Whisky?"
33066In the meantime, I suppose you''ve no objection if I sit down here for a moment or two?
33066In the same time?
33066In what is the danger?
33066In what measure, Benjamin?
33066In what?
33066Interested? 33066 Is it not the day of your return?
33066Is it permitted?
33066Is it permitted?
33066Is it possible? 33066 Is it possible?"
33066Is it so, Glani?
33066Is it true?
33066Is it true?
33066Is n''t Lukin Junction a good place for a village?
33066Is n''t it rather odd,said Connor,"for people to build a town over here when they could have it on the railroad?"
33066Is no one here?
33066Is she so wise a colt?
33066Is that a command, David?
33066Is that horse fifteen years old?
33066Is that one word a reason? 33066 Is that what you know about hosses, Mr. Connor?
33066Is the horse a strain of blood or an accident? 33066 Is there anything wrong with those legs?"
33066It is Abraham?
33066It is Cassim, is it not?
33066It is a long trip?
33066It speaks to you?
33066It was Rustir?
33066Land of your own?
33066Leave me?
33066Let''s hear your thoughts?
33066Live alone? 33066 Lonely?"
33066Looks sort of underfed, eh?
33066Lucky devil, eh?
33066Lunch at Townsend''s?
33066Maybe you think this is Lukin?
33066Me? 33066 More like Abra in the valley?
33066More than eight inches, eh-- that Cannon?
33066Most like somebody told you about Townsend''s Hotel?
33066My friend,said Connor to Ephraim,"you see my position?
33066News? 33066 No more than that?"
33066Not a step outside the gate? 33066 Not_ let_ me go?"
33066Nothing else? 33066 Of what shall I talk?"
33066Of what?
33066Oh, Abraham, Abraham, what shall I do?
33066Oh, David, my master--"What is it now, Elijah, old stammerer? 33066 Oh, David,"sobbed the girl,"do n''t you see I only came between you to keep you from murder?
33066Or worried?
33066Out of the Garden? 33066 Over these mountains most of the way?"
33066Parkin Crossing?
33066Quite a bit of sporting blood in Lukin, eh?
33066Really interested?
33066Really? 33066 Religion?
33066Silence?
33066Sin, Brother David? 33066 So?
33066So?
33066Something about soft pine?
33066Speculator in Lukin, is he?
33066Still lies to me? 33066 Still lies?"
33066Suppose we step over and give the ponies a glance?
33066Surely, Benjamin, we who are strong will not eat before her who is weak?
33066Take that chance now? 33066 Talk of a dead stump when there is a great tree beside it?
33066Tell me, Abraham-- does the seed of Rustir know men? 33066 That so?"
33066That''s the new liner, is n''t it?
33066The boss gives you orders not to leave, eh?
33066The four chairs for the four dead men when David sits down in his own place?
33066The gray?
33066The sky was not the same?
33066The trinket of carved bone?
33066Then David groaned in his heart and he said:''How shall I know her when I find her?'' 33066 Then he is coming?"
33066Then what should I have said?
33066Then why do n''t you pull out with what you have?
33066Then, will it be wrong to go out with me? 33066 They have not come back, but you have returned to lead me to them?
33066They race very often up here?
33066They ran from this line?
33066Thinking of getting one of''em?
33066This deaf- mute sells some, now and then?
33066This sounds like a regular catechism, does n''t it?
33066Those first four birds who started the Garden, who were they? 33066 To drive you from the Garden?
33066To poison the food a man eats or the thoughts in his mind?
33066To_ us_?
33066Too far to go, you see? 33066 Too late for breakfast?"
33066Was it not enough to bring sin into the Garden? 33066 Was it wrong to let me enter?"
33066Was there ever a colt like my Timeh?
33066Well, does she love you?
33066Well, what of that?
33066Well,he said at length,"you see my troubles?
33066Well,he said, smiling covertly,"are you going to bet on that?"
33066Well?
33066Were you able to?
33066What about the fifty- nine seconds?
33066What am I that she should be mine? 33066 What are you doing here without a covering for your head while the sun is hot?
33066What are you thinking of, Joseph?
33066What are you trying to do to me, Ben Connor?
33066What are you trying to do, Ben? 33066 What did he mean?"
33066What did he say?
33066What did you say?
33066What did you say?
33066What do we want to know?
33066What do you mean by sure thing? 33066 What do you mean by that?"
33066What do you mean by that?
33066What do you see?
33066What do you wish, David?
33066What does this dry, hot wind do to you in the mountains? 33066 What else did he say?"
33066What food?
33066What happened?
33066What harm have I received from you?
33066What harm?
33066What have I done?
33066What is it that you call the trinket?
33066What is it?
33066What is it?
33066What is that in miles?
33066What is your proof that you are right in staying here?
33066What makes you think so?
33066What price?
33066What sin?
33066What valley?
33066What will free you?
33066What would you have me do? 33066 What''d they make it in?"
33066What''s doing in this town of yours to- night?
33066What''s happened?
33066What''s his religion?
33066What''s in the book?
33066What''s inside?
33066What''s it worth? 33066 What''s that story you were going to tell me about Harry Macklin?"
33066What''s that?
33066What''s that?
33066What''s the big news?
33066What? 33066 What?"
33066What?
33066What?
33066What?
33066When he stopped me? 33066 Where d''you make out her place to be?"
33066Where do they get the name Eden Gray?
33066Where do they race?
33066Where has he gone?
33066Where is he?
33066Where''d you get that name?
33066Which d''you say? 33066 Which is it-- the roan or the bay?"
33066Which is the greater crime?
33066Which one?
33066Which was the one hoss in your eyes?
33066Who has n''t?
33066Who has spoken of Juri? 33066 Who spoke of taking you out of the Garden?"
33066Who told you I know anything about horses?
33066Who?
33066Who?
33066Whose hand,asked Elijah faintly--"whose hand must strike the blow?"
33066Why are you here?
33066Why are you here?
33066Why did you do it?
33066Why did you say that?
33066Why do n''t you throw it away if you''re afraid of it, Joseph?
33066Why do you ask me that?
33066Why do you stop?
33066Why do you wish to enter the Garden?
33066Why does the earth keep running around the sun? 33066 Why in the name of God did you let him leave you?"
33066Why is that?
33066Why not?
33066Why not?
33066Why not?
33066Why not?
33066Why should I let you go?
33066Why''s that? 33066 Why?
33066Why?
33066Wide brims are in again,exclaimed the operator,"and wide hats are awful on me; is n''t that the luck?"
33066Winners, all of''em?
33066Wise?
33066Would it not be a sin, then?
33066Would you have me take charity?
33066Would you like to have a horse like that-- half a dozen like it?
33066Would you,she said,"be happy away from the Garden, and the horses and your servants?
33066Yeh?
33066You are n''t serious?
33066You are not afraid?
33066You are not happy with us?
33066You are not happy?
33066You can not stay?
33066You come from the South?
33066You could not send her away with words?
33066You follow around to pick up a little dope, eh?
33066You forgive me?
33066You grew these grapes in your valley?
33066You have done that last duty, then, Elijah? 33066 You have n''t begun to doubt me, Ruth?"
33066You have not come to drive me away again?
33066You have not seen your room?
33066You have spoken to Him, perhaps?
33066You have told her that it is impossible for me to speak with her?
33066You have traveled a good deal, then?
33066You hear?
33066You keep Him in that room, no doubt?
33066You know her?
33066You liked the gray, too?
33066You must leave me?
33066You see that shoulder of the mountain away off up there? 33066 You see that six months''mare?"
33066You stepped out of a telegraph office, with your finger on the key all day, every day, and you jumped into two thousand dollars?
33066You think I have failed?
33066You trail me to find out what I intend to do? 33066 You will remember me, also, when I have gone?"
33066You wo n''t weaken?
33066You''d like to try it, eh?
33066You''re Mr. Connor, ai n''t you? 33066 You''re excited?"
33066You''re not going to break down later on-- feeling as if he''s dynamite about to explode all the time?
33066You''ve heard racing called the sport of kings? 33066 You''ve seen His face?"
33066Your own?
33066_ You_ bet on it? 33066 ''Tell me, Zacharias,''he said,''if this is not the sister of Glani?''
33066''Will the master be angry if I ride her?''
33066A butler behind your chair and a maid in your dressing room?
33066A hundred years from now there will be no good horse in the world, of which men do not ask:''Is the blood of Glani in him?
33066A hundred years from now who will know David of the Garden of Eden?
33066A lie?
33066A picture in the papers every time you turn around?
33066A theft?
33066Abraham, Abraham, can not I find her voice among ten all neighing at once?"
33066Abraham, do you still worship sticks and stones?
33066And David?
33066And because she was so confident, you were weak enough to believe her?"
33066And did not John take Boram in his hands and conquer him and break him?
33066And do you know what it means to us?"
33066And he added:"What is your name?"
33066And if old Abraham is nothing before David, what is Joseph?
33066And now, Benjamin, did Shakra carry you well and swiftly?"
33066And now--""Benjamin, is there such love of horses over the mountains?
33066And shall I spare a colt when I do not spare myself?
33066And those black hoofs, hard as iron, I tell you-- put the four of''em in my double hands, almost-- ever see such a nick?
33066And was not Boram as great as Joseph?
33066And was there ever a more honest mare than Juri?
33066And where did I find her?
33066And who is the old man?"
33066And why stop there?
33066And why?
33066Any other news?"
33066Are n''t there such things as white lies?
33066Are there such bad manners among them?"
33066Are you betting on that runt of a gray?"
33066Are you shamed?"
33066Are you sure?
33066As far as I can make out, you like Ruth?"
33066Aside from torturing the poor man, what if this comes to David''s ear?"
33066At the door Connor was snarling:"Quiet?
33066Barbarian?
33066Benjamin, my brother, is it not so?
33066Besides, how do you explain the rotten things that happen in the world?
33066Brother to Ben Connor?
33066But have they all returned, all my horses?"
33066But he is old and he will die, and what shall I do then?
33066But how lead him to the gate?
33066But if I ca n''t do better is there any objection to my using this fire of yours for cooking?
33066But if I find a sin in my own nature, do I not tear it out at a price of pain?
33066But it''s the principle of the thing, you see?
33066But suppose the train is wrecked?
33066But tell me: will not a colt that risks its life to climb for a tuft of grass, run till its heart breaks for the master in later years?"
33066But the master?
33066But what can I do?"
33066But what can we do?
33066But what''s he got to do with the race?"
33066But who can arrange matters of buying and selling all in a moment?
33066But will he carry a saddle?"
33066But will she marry you?"
33066But you remember the Lorrimer, eh?
33066But you''d seen her brand before, I s''pose?"
33066But you, Ruth, are you angry?
33066But"--he reverted suddenly to his original surprise--"how''d you know her?
33066But-- what happened down the hill?"
33066Can you beat that?
33066Can you beat that?"
33066Can you imagine smiling at a time like that?"
33066Connor asked quietly:"Know anything about these gray horses and where they came from?"
33066Connor closed his eyes twice and then:"You rode that distance between dawn and dark?"
33066Connor?"
33066Connor?"
33066Cost about a thousand bucks to imitate this petal, but it''d be worth it to see you in it, eh?"
33066Could I turn her away hungry, Benjamin?"
33066Could he give up his only hold on David and the Eden Grays?
33066D''you see?
33066David will not know?
33066David, do you see?"
33066Davie, my boy, d''you think a man is made to live by himself?
33066Did I not sit with her three days and three nights when she was first foaled?
33066Did he say anything?"
33066Did not Boram once anger John?
33066Did they let you come of their own accord, Abraham?"
33066Did you know that?"
33066Did you see that?"
33066Do n''t I look like an old hand at this game?"
33066Do n''t you see I''m helpless-- helpless?"
33066Do n''t you see that we''d be doing the poor fathead a good turn by getting him out of his hermitage and letting him live in the world?
33066Do they know good and evil?"
33066Do you get that?
33066Do you know what it does to the women?"
33066Do you not hear them singing?
33066Do you not know that law which says that he from whose household the faulty mare foal has come must destroy it?
33066Do you put a mind in the handiwork of a man?"
33066Do you think it''s enough?"
33066Do you think the others stay for love of you?"
33066Do you think they stay because they love you?
33066Do you think you are free before you pass the gates?"
33066Do you understand?
33066Does the bookie ask you how much coin you have and if you can afford to lose it?
33066Easy?
33066Ever see anything more brutal than a child?
33066Fine picture, eh?
33066For why did the first men withdraw to this valley, led by John, save to live apart, perfect lives?
33066Ha, is not that a sign?"
33066Hat?
33066Have I been very wrong in my talk to you?"
33066Have you been taught no more than that?
33066Have you ever opened your dim eyes and really looked at him?
33066Have you heard dripping in a well, a sound like water filling a bottle and never reaching the top?
33066Have you not told us, David, that a curious colt makes a wise horse?
33066He added impatiently:"Where shall I find him, Zacharias?"
33066He called to Ruth:"And you, Ruth?"
33066He heard her murmuring:"What have I done?
33066He looked at the girl instead of Ephraim as he answered:"Who am I to make laws?
33066He remembered the way he had proposed to a girl, once:"Say, Betty, do n''t you think you and me would hit it off pretty well, speaking permanently?"
33066He swallowed an oath, and answered, remembering dim lessons out of his childhood:"Tell me, David, my brother, is there no fire to burn fools?
33066He was to tempt the master with the wealth of the world, but what could he give the man to replace his Homeric comfort?
33066Hey, Joe, how d''you bet on Charlie Haig?"
33066How can I drive him out of the valley?"
33066How could he tell that the man was not right?
33066How could she hear your line of chatter without wanting to find out the secrets that made you the nut you are?
33066How did you buck up under it?"
33066How far would be the reach between Joseph himself and the omnipotent master?
33066How had she read?
33066How have I harmed you?"
33066How have things been going?"
33066How shall I judge?
33066I knew I was safe, then, but I was still dizzy-- just as if I''d looked over a cliff-- you know?"
33066I say, what do you wish?
33066I''ve stolen his heart, and what have I to give him in exchange?
33066If into the softness of her voice she allowed a single note of warmth to creep, what would happen in Ben Connor?
33066If she set herself to the task who could deal with her?
33066In what wise does her danger strike?"
33066Is Glani naturally vicious?"
33066Is he of the line of the Eden Grays?''
33066Is it a go?"
33066Is it enough?
33066Is it not strange?"
33066Is it not, Glani, my king?
33066Is it possible?"
33066Is it worth a fight?"
33066Is n''t it possible that all these five masters of yours may have been mistaken?"
33066Is n''t it what you''d call a fair bet?"
33066Is not this Benjamin, this stranger, a guest of the master?"
33066Is not this the work of Benjamin?"
33066Is she not far nobler and wiser than Ephraim''s horse, Numan?''
33066Is that a sign of anger?"
33066Is that clear?"
33066Is that seeing?
33066Is that the barbarian you were telling me about?
33066Is that the cruel, selfish fool you tried to make me think was David of Eden?"
33066Is that true?"
33066Is that true?"
33066Is there no rod for the shoulders of the proud?
33066It keeps you listening for an hour, perhaps, always a soft sound, but always rising toward a climax?
33066It spoke much for his steadiness in a crisis that he did neither, but called instead:"Who''s there?"
33066It''s like having some one whisper secrets in your ear, at first, is n''t it?
33066Just about the same line of junk, eh?
33066Kind of heartier out here, ai n''t they?
33066Leave me?
33066Love?
33066Luck?"
33066Make everything still harder for me?
33066Manhattan?
33066Maybe you read a hoss''s mind, partner?"
33066My hat''s off, but-- where''d you get the nerve?"
33066No horse in the world could give that much to him when he was right, but who guessed that then?
33066Now, I ask you, did you ever see a truer Steeldust?
33066Of the men who used to live here, who remains?
33066On whose back will the whip fall this time?"
33066Or a drowsy day when the wind hardly moves and the whistling of a bird comes now and then out of the trees, cool and contented?
33066Outside of the looks, tell me if there''s anything crooked you can see?"
33066Put a guard over David of Eden, and what would he be?
33066Recognize the brand, maybe?"
33066See?
33066See?"
33066Set me on fire with a word?"
33066She did not look at him as she answered:"Tell me why?"
33066Should not such men be taught?"
33066Still without looking up she answered:"Why?"
33066Suppose she puts a foot in a hole?
33066That chest, eh?
33066That is another reason why I wish to go in; and why should you fear me?
33066That makes you flinch under the whip, does it?
33066That room; you see?
33066That''d be a design for a cloak, eh?
33066The girl was a power?
33066The horse that ca n''t be beat-- that makes the betting safe?"
33066The master was silent for a moment, then:"Did he leave no message for me?"
33066Then:"Does it make you happy to hear me say these things?"
33066There''s a funny yarn out about how Harry--""What price does the mute ask?"
33066These your grips?"
33066They paraded past the grand stand, then what?"
33066They''ll pick up every detail of your life, and they''ll trace back the horses--""Do I live for the sake of a horse?"
33066Think they can put on a play with these mountains for a setting?
33066Timeh is no longer alive?"
33066To have climbed so high was almost impossible, but how would she come down when there was no room for her to turn?
33066Townsend began to chatter in his ear:"It''s between Charlie Haig''s roan and Cliff Jones''s Lightning-- You see that bay?
33066Understand?"
33066Understand?"
33066Waiting for a chance to throw stones?"
33066Was it fair?
33066Was it on account of this that Benjamin had warned him, this fragile girl?
33066Was not this the reason that he scorned the world?
33066Was she taking this seriously?
33066Was that square?
33066Was this the Bluebeard''s chamber which was to ruin all his work?
33066Was this the formal talk of which Connor had warned her?
33066We do n''t rob him, you see?
33066We found out what?
33066Well, I''ve never seen this man, but do you know what I think?
33066Were they all crooks?
33066Were they all ready to die?
33066Were you at Aqueduct that day?"
33066What am I that I should speak of the life or the death of so much as the last bird in the trees?
33066What clothes?"
33066What do I think of an Indian?"
33066What do I want with a runt of a horse like that?
33066What does he do?
33066What does he say?
33066What does it do to your skin?
33066What else do you want?
33066What else have you gained?"
33066What else?"
33066What faith have we?
33066What further for my ear?"
33066What had the girl said?
33066What harm have you come to work in the Garden?''"
33066What have I done?"
33066What he said was:"Do you know why you close your eyes?"
33066What is his power?
33066What is it now?
33066What is the sin for which the Lord would punish me with the loss of Shakra?
33066What man could keep from her?
33066What more?"
33066What of Glani?"
33066What price has he paid to win you so that you will even risk death for him?"
33066What sin?
33066What was it?"
33066What word for David?"
33066What would happen at the gate?
33066What''s he done now?"
33066What''s his breed?"
33066What''s the idea?"
33066What''s the matter?"
33066When anything bothers him he goes over and sits down in there, because-- do you know what he thinks sits with him?"
33066When may I speak to her?"
33066When we were two, one talked and the other grew weary-- was it not so?
33066Where do they live now?
33066Where is he, Zacharias?"
33066Where will you guess that I found her when I went to bring her to you even now?
33066Who are they?
33066Who but David of Eden could have been jealous of the very thoughts of another?
33066Who is the master?
33066Who made it?
33066Who taught me to play the miserable game with David?
33066Who tempted me like a devil and brought me here?
33066Who was unhappy among us until Benjamin came?
33066Who''d of thought that skinny fellow had it in him?"
33066Why are you here?"
33066Why are you here?"
33066Why do n''t you go to David and warn him?"
33066Why do you not rise and call them as I bid you?
33066Why in the name of God, man, do n''t you get mules for this work?"
33066Why not go along with her when she goes home?"
33066Why not take another chance?
33066Why not use her?
33066Why should I care?
33066Why should she leave me?"
33066Why should we?"
33066Why?
33066Why?
33066Why?"
33066Will you believe me when I say that I''d give a lot to undo what I''ve done?"
33066Will you believe me?"
33066Will you come back to the Garden of Eden?"
33066Will you give me one half minute, David?"
33066Will you lay off on the thinking?"
33066Will you play partners with me?"
33066Will you?"
33066With a smile of mockery or with tears?
33066With those?"
33066Woman, why are you here?''"
33066Would that make you happy?
33066Wrinkles around the eyes and wrinkles in the mind to match, eh?"
33066You are asking yourself:''What is it?
33066You believe me?"
33066You blame her?
33066You know how gentle he is when he gets well started?"
33066You know that she''ll have to leave pretty soon?"
33066You see how he stands with his head down?
33066You see that big white cliff?
33066You see that he comes to me now?
33066You see the way those mountain- tops walk into the sky?
33066You see?"
33066You understand why he''s so-- fond of you, Ruth?"
33066You understand?
33066You understand?
33066You understand?"
33066You want''em?"
33066You will not look until I say?"
33066You wired for a room in the hotel?
33066You wo n''t make a slip about that room?"
33066You''d allow this pair to die at the gate of the valley?"
33066You?
33066_ CHAPTER TWENTY- SIX_"What have I done?
33066inquired the gambler, and added:"Why so happy?"
502About your stock?
502An''it''s your idea that cowboy compliments are plumb bad for girls?
502And he''s a cavalryman?
502And what is that?
502And your-- your name?
502Any mineral sign to- day?
502Are there any letters for me?
502Are you afraid?
502Belding, what was that terrible roar?
502Bum? 502 But even if it''s true-- why-- why wo n''t you marry me?
502But your people? 502 By the day or week?"
502Call? 502 Can I smoke?"
502Charlie Ladd, I ai n''t reckonin''you mean we''re to ride off an''leave you here?
502Chase threatened you, then?
502Dad''s not going to send any one to see about Thorne?
502Dad, what would Dick do if-- if he were here and I were to tell him I''d-- I''d been horribly insulted?
502Dad, what''s the matter?
502Dick Gale, you want my Nell? 502 Dick, I can not keep you back?"
502Dick, what will you do?
502Dick, why does Yaqui look back?
502Dick, will you go?
502Dick, will you slip off without Dad''s consent? 502 Dick, you was n''t agoin''without me?"
502Dick, you wo n''t hunt for him-- go after him?
502Did she hear me?
502Did she see you?
502Did you know that?
502Did you see him? 502 Do I seem to be a driven man?"
502Do I? 502 Do any of you see Rojas?"
502Do you dare insinuate that-- that-- if the thing were true it''d make any difference to me?
502Do you love her?
502Do you love him?
502Do you think we''ll have trouble out here?
502Does Dick Gale care for his horse? 502 Does he?"
502Double- crossed us, eh? 502 Find any mineral?"
502Forty dollars?
502George,went on Dick,"did you happen to observe the girl who saved your life-- who incidentally just fetched in your breakfast?"
502Go away?
502Go-- me?
502Gone? 502 Got what?"
502He cares for his horse, with his own hands?
502He faced that bandit and his gang alone-- he fought them?
502He is n''t a cowboy?
502He rescued a Spanish girl, went into the desert without food, weapons, anything but his hands? 502 He will turn to look-- to wave good- by?"
502He''s a fine- spoken, good- looking chap, you said?
502He''s a ranger now-- riding, fighting, sleeping on the sand, preparing his own food?
502How do the Yaquis live?
502How long have you been here?
502How many?
502How''d you like to be a border ranger?
502How''s the young man?
502Hungry? 502 I declare I''d forgotten Thorne.... How is Miss Castaneda?
502I reckon I had it empty in my mouth for seven years or so, was n''t it, Laddy? 502 I say you never held this secret over the heads of my wife and her daughter?"
502I''m only-- all in.... Will you go-- or send some one-- for the Yaqui?
502I? 502 If I come back-- no-- when I come back, will you marry me?"
502If he does, that settles any doubt it might be decent to have-- Yaqui-- malo Papago-- Si?
502Is he hurt?
502Is he the young man who came with you?
502Is he-- nice, Laddy?
502Is it Rojas?
502Is it you?... 502 Is n''t it a lovely day?"
502Is n''t that a serious offense?
502Is this Mr. Tom Belding, inspector of immigration?
502Jim, can you see anything?
502Jim, you ai n''t meanin''they''ve taken to that awful slope?
502Laddy, Jim, did n''t I tell you?
502Laddy, before it''s too late ca n''t I get the whites away from the border?
502Laddy, you do n''t want to be weighted down?
502Laddy, you mean to say Sol is a faster horse than Diablo?
502Land claims?
502Martha, do you hear?
502May I ask why?
502May I stay?
502May I trouble you to write another for me?
502Mebbe it ai n''t too late; but where can we take them?
502Miss Burton, are you really Richard''s betrothed?
502Mother, what''s the use of making a funeral out of a marriage?
502Mother, where''s the girl?
502Mr. Belding, do you mean my son-- Richard Gale-- has done all that you told us?
502Nell, what''s come off now?
502Never cared for pretty girls, huh?
502Nitroglycerin?
502No? 502 Oh, Jim Lash, are you dead?"
502Oh, where is he going?
502Pardner, what Illinois town was it you hailed from?
502Pardner, what drives you into the desert?
502Prove it? 502 Richard, where are you going?"
502Rushing Rojas?
502Say, Tom, Nell knows she''s pretty, does n''t she?
502Say, what''s happened to you? 502 Senor, may I write to him?
502Serious? 502 Shore I want to know what day is it an''what month?"
502Shore it musta hurt?
502So you told my wife you''d respect her secret-- keep her dishonor from husband and daughter?
502So? 502 Stop him?
502Supposin''it is April?
502Sure you can prove what you say?
502The girl ai n''t no peon, no common Greaser?
502The law? 502 Then straight north?"
502Then you-- you have n''t spoken to Nell?
502Then, dearest, it''s all right?
502There you are, and my darling with the proud, dark eyes-- she''s here?
502These Chases-- did they do all this on the level?
502Thorne, why do n''t you take the girl and get married without waiting, without running these risks?
502Those horses I saw will go home, do n''t you think?
502Threatened me? 502 To Casita and the railroad?"
502To San Felipe?
502Tom, you recollect that whopper of a saguaro up here where Carter''s trail branches off the main trail to Casita? 502 Was she your wife?"
502We were old pals-- once?
502Well, Laddy, what''re you makin''of that outfit?
502Well, tell me more?
502Well, what shall I do now?
502Well, would n''t that be regular? 502 What did I tell you?
502What did you do to him?
502What do you hear, Yaqui?
502What do you mean to do?
502What do you mean?
502What do you say, Jim?
502What does he do with so much money-- money earned by peril, toil, sweat, and blood? 502 What else is there to do?
502What is he like?
502What is he? 502 What the devil''s wrong?
502What woke you?
502What would you say, Dick Gale, if I told you that you''re the one man I''d rather have had come along than any other at this crisis of my life?
502What''ll we do, Laddy? 502 What''s ailing him?
502What''s the inconsequential past? 502 What''s wrong with you locoed gents?"
502What''s your idea?
502What?
502What?
502When would you marry her?
502When''ll that be?
502Where are you? 502 Where have I been keeping myself not to know about these surveyors?"
502Where the devil did you get that?
502Where will we find these Chases?
502Where''n hell''s your hat?
502Where''s Thorne an''Mercedes? 502 Where''s your canteen?"
502Who''s that?
502Why does my brother want me to climb the nameless mountains with him?
502Why-- you here?
502Why?
502Why?
502Will you go-- for my sake?
502Will you let me have him?
502Will you promise again?
502With Laddy and Jim?
502Would he? 502 Yaqui, what do you want?"
502Yaqui-- Lluvia d''oro, si?
502You are absolutely truthful when you say you just stepped there?
502You ask me that?
502You did that in one punch? 502 You made your son swear to be a man and die before he''d hint the thing to Nell?"
502You mean it''s a simple fact-- that some men have a magnetism, a force or power to find water as you did?
502You promised me once, Dad, that you''d not go packing a gun off down there, did n''t you?
502You said you were n''t hurt?
502You say the law upheld them?
502You want to marry her?
502You will keep your promise? 502 You will not?
502You''ll go?
502You''re not a Westerner?
502You''ve been running-- fighting?
502Young man, did you run into anything as you came out?
502An''ca n''t you feel it''s gettin''hot?"
502And I''m cut pretty deep--""For God''s sake, you do n''t believe what Chase said?"
502And Rojas did n''t hang long on the choya thorns?
502And what do you think?
502And you''ll be going soon?
502Anyway, what''s them creepin''spots up there?"
502Are you all right?
502Are you-- all right?"
502But are you wise in letting any Mexican, even a priest, know Mercedes is hidden in Forlorn River?"
502But say, Beldin'', speaking of looks, have you got a peek yet at the Spanish girl?"
502But suppose a raider comes out on Blanco Diablo?"
502But the shots, Dick-- were they at you?
502But what could I do?
502But what of that second stage wherein the Indian had loomed up a colossal figure of strange honor, loyalty, love?
502But who''s goin''to give up his hosses without a fight?
502But why had this blast been set off?
502But-- what if it is?...
502Ca n''t we make a deal?
502Ca n''t you see him?"
502Ca n''t you see the girl is what Thorne needed?
502Ca n''t you see what ails her?
502Campfires?"
502Can you beat it?"
502Can you beat that?
502Can you stand for me seein''you?...
502Can you walk?
502Color, race, blood, breeding-- what were these in the wilderness?
502Could the strange Indian, because his hate for Mexicans was so great, be gloating over her misery?
502Dick, are you with me?"
502Dick, is he bad hurt?"
502Dick, seein''it was your room he blew into, what did you think?"
502Dick, this hole''s pretty high up, ai n''t it?"
502Dick, what do you make of the outlet to this hole?
502Dick, you ca n''t be going in for mining or ranching, not in this God- forsaken desert?"
502Dick, you could n''t have gone to the bad?"
502Did he care for them?
502Did he love Nell?
502Did n''t I say he''d be a godsend?
502Did n''t she have a hundred moon- eyed ninnies after her in Texas?
502Did n''t they call you Biff Gale in college?
502Did n''t you hear him before I called you?"
502Did n''t you know that?...
502Did n''t you say the Senorita had a sweetheart?"
502Did not the desert magnify men?
502Did the sheep see the red scarf?
502Did you get a good look at the horses those raiders had at Papago Well?"
502Did you see any sign of Jim out Sonoyta way?"
502Do n''t you know me?"
502Do n''t you love me any more?"
502Do you care for me-- a little?"
502Do you come to forget?"
502Do you hear that?
502Do you know it''s late?
502Do you love me?"
502Do you mean it?"
502Do you want me or all us men seein''you like that?...
502Does n''t every man who comes along fall in love with Nell?
502Does n''t that sound fine?
502Gale was moving on when the other stopped short as if startled, and, leaning forward, exclaimed:"Dick Gale?"
502Gale, can you ride?"
502Go to Casita and find out what''s happened to Thorne-- at least if he ever started for Forlorn River?"
502Had Nell left it there by accident or by intent?
502Had he fallen in love with Thorne''s sweetheart?
502Had it once been a prospector''s claim?
502Had the man lost his mind?
502Had this trio of outlaws run across Ladd?
502Has n''t it always happened?
502Has the army changed you?"
502Have you any idea what ailed this Yaqui before the raider got in his work?"
502He must be all right?"
502How about that, Jim?"
502How about you?
502How dare you?
502How long did the dazed Gale sit there watching Rojas wrestling and writhing in convulsive frenzy?
502How long had those painted images been there clear and sharp on the dry stone walls?
502How many men has he out there?"
502How much''ll you gamble?"
502How to get any place?
502How''s the busted fist this morning?"
502I reckon you ai n''t packin''this crippled outfit down that awful trail?"
502I think I know you, too, or I would n''t be saying--""Belding, what''re you hinting at?"
502I wonder if he''ll stay here or try to take Mercedes away?"
502I''ll be back here in less than--""Dick, you will not tell her-- your mother?"
502I''m expecting him back any day.... Wo n''t you come in?
502I''ve learned-- well, just lately--""What do you want to do?"
502If I live three, the dogs of his camp... Senor, have you a sister whom you love?
502If all the endless torrid days, the endless mystic nights had seemed unreal to Gale, what, then, seemed this stupendous spectacle?
502If it seemed so to the stricken Gale what must it have been to Rojas?
502If the loneliness, the silence, the desert, the unknown dangers of the night affected him, what must they be to this hunted, driven girl?
502In broad daylight, with the Indian a- watch- in?"
502Is he still here with you?"
502Is n''t Rojas going to find it out quick?
502Is n''t it enough for you?"
502Is n''t it great, Dick?
502Is there a padre here?"
502Jim, are you hurt?"
502Jim, do you forget how many hundreds of men have perished on the Devil''s Road?"
502Jim, old pard?"
502Jim, what do you think?"
502Jim, where are you?"
502Just herself, body and soul?...
502Laddy knows a lot about young men, now does n''t he, especially strangers from the East?...
502Laddy was pretty bad shot up before he tried to head Rojas off the trail.... Dick, did you see the Yaqui go after Rojas?"
502Laddy, what on earth did this stranger do to win you cowboys in just one night?"
502Lash, what do you say?"
502Let''s forget all about it, and I''ll be careful where I ride in the future.... Dad, what does it mean, this surveying around Forlorn River?"
502Lunger?
502May I ask, at what salary?"
502May I make camp here?"
502May we step in, sir?"
502Nell, are n''t you ever going to ride with me?"
502No bum or lunger?
502Now what do you say?"
502Now, what do you say?"
502Oh, ca n''t we find out for her?"
502Oh, where''s Laddy?"
502Oh, why did n''t you tell me sooner?"
502Only a Yaqui could have done that.... Thorne, you did n''t miss it?"
502Only bein''what I am, I say, Quien sabe?
502Remember that American we met in Casita, the prospector who''d just gotten out of Sonora?
502Remember what I said about Yaqui and some gory Aztec knifework?
502Richard Gale, whose hands were always useless?"
502Run him after them when they try to get away?"
502Sabe, senor?"
502Sabe, senor?"
502Sabe, senorita?"
502Sabe, you senors?
502Savvy?
502Say, did n''t I tell you I shook hands with this boy an''was plumb glad to meet him?"
502Say, who do you think''s here-- here, in Forlorn River?"
502She musta been ragin''with all the hell there''s in a woman.... Ca n''t you fellers see her on Blanco Sol with her eyes turnin''black?"
502She''s a damn fine girl, Dick, an''what right have you to break her heart for an old worn- out cowpuncher?
502Shore now, boys, you''ll see this the right way?
502Shore you''ll go, Thorne?"
502Since then I''ve read magazines and papers about big football games, and I was always fascinated.... Mr. Gale, of course, you''ve seen games?
502So he cut Rojas loose from that awful crater wall, foot by foot, finger by finger, slow and terrible?
502So what''s the sense of you waitin''here, when it means the old desert story?
502The desert did not breed civilized man, and that made Gale ponder over a strange thought: after all, was the civilized man inferior to the savage?
502Then I''ll-- See here, Mr. Gale, would you mind having Nell with you part way when you go home?"
502Then what''ll he try to do to us who''re left here?"
502There''s nothing could change you-- nothing?"
502Thorne, can that sort of thing happen less than a stone''s throw from the United States line?"
502Tom, where''s the Papago?"
502Was he alone?
502Was he only attracted for the moment?
502Was he, all in an instant, and by one of those incomprehensible reversals of character, jealous of his friend?
502Was it a message couched elusively, a symbol, a hope in a half- blown desert rose?
502Was it gloom?
502Was it merely kindness or a girl''s subtlety?
502Was it only the influence of the Yaqui, or was there a nameless and unseen presence beside that grave?
502Was it only twilight?
502Was that a spirit face like the one by his side?
502Was this because of her beauty?
502Were his motions intended to convey an idea of a shower of golden blossoms from that rare and beautiful tree, or a golden rain?
502Were they waiting for more members of their gang?
502What are you going to do?"
502What are you waiting for?
502What did he mean by using it in connection with a climb into the mountains?
502What do you think of that?"
502What had been in his heart?
502What had he done?
502What had life meant to the Yaqui?
502What happened?
502What if it is n''t our war?
502What is it?"
502What is that little black half- breed slave Rojas to such men?
502What kind of a man do you want me to be?"
502What on earth did you do?"
502What rebel outfit could ever ride you down on that horse?
502What sense is there in your objection, if Jim and Laddy stick up for him?"
502What to do?
502What was it leading him there-- an eagle eye, or hate, or instinct?
502What was now in his mind?
502What was the dull, red- tinged, horizon- wide mantle creeping up the slope?
502What was the use of worrying about her or himself?
502What''re you doing way down here?
502What''s happened?
502What''s he going to do when he finds out about this deal?"
502What''s that?"
502What''s wrong?
502When she was a schoolgirl in Kansas did n''t it happen?
502Where did he come from?
502Where did he go?"
502Where is he, Laddy?"
502Where to go?
502Where''n the hell do they get such hosses, anyhow?"
502Where''s Laddy?
502Where''s your old stubborn confidence?
502Where, then, was he who had first staked this claim?
502Who is he?
502Who on earth''s that?"
502Who''s going to tell him?
502Whose face was this now close before him-- a long thin, shrunken face, haggard, tragic in its semblance of torture, almost of death?
502Why did he go on when there could be no turning back for him on that trail?
502Why did n''t you tell me?
502Why does n''t the government take action, do something?"
502Why is it dry?"
502Why the hell did you saddle yourself with him?"
502Why?
502Will some one take a letter?...
502Will you tell us just what he wrote?"
502Would Yaqui never consider his debt paid?
502Would Yaqui never-- never end it?...
502Would another night see any of them lie that way, quiet forever?
502Would they receive me as your wife?"
502You love her just as she is-- her sweetness-- her goodness?
502You see, we''re over the line--""Are we in Mexican territory now?"
502You went into the army, did n''t you?"
502You will marry me?"
502You''d last a long time on the Texas border; now, would n''t you?
502You''ll give her to me?"
502You''ll go, son, wo n''t you?"
502You''ll run Sol away from the raiders when they chase you?
502You''re Belding, the line inspector, I take it?
502did you get the wind of that one?
746''Well, an''what of it?
746Ai n''t I right, Campbell? 746 All right,"he sighed--"I shall meet you halfway in this proposition-- got that?"
746An''he is der boy to do it, eh, Louis?
746And after that?
746And all to make two minutes grow where one grew before?
746And where be you from, and all the way up here? 746 And where will the shorts be then?"
746And you''ll marry me right away?
746Anybody dead?
746Are men ever fair?
746As I understand it, if I keep right on at the business game, you''ll sure marry me? 746 Baptized yet?"
746But how are we going to feed the other team and three men till he gets back?
746But how are you going to do it?
746But suppose, just suppose, that the reasons I have given are the only ones?--that there is no question of my not wanting to know you?
746But what do you do now?
746But what do you want to win for?
746But what under the sun are you doing here in the chaparral?
746But when you do?
746But why ca n''t you do good with all your money?
746But why do you hate them so?
746But why...?
746Cards?
746Cash?
746Chips do everlastingly clutter up the table.... If it''s agreeable to you- all?
746D- e- d- e M- a- s o- n. Got it?
746Did I say that, Miss Mason?
746Did you- all pan any?
746Do n''t you find it lonely here?
746Do n''t you see?
746Do you believe in God?
746Do you know, Miss Mason, I have n''t a friend in the world outside you? 746 Do you like anybody else more than you like me?--that man at the''phone just now, for instance?"
746Do you like me-- the littlest bit?
746Do you live hereabouts, stranger?
746Do you live hereabouts?
746Do you- all mind saying that over again?
746Does he get her?
746Elam, wo n''t you be reasonable? 746 God Almighty, ai n''t you- all a man?"
746Got a factory somewheres?
746Got another hunch?
746Has something happened?
746Hello, Louis, when did you- all blow in?
746Hello, mother,was his greeting;"ai n''t you got any men- folk around to do that for you?"
746How do folks get married?
746How do you know that?
746How do you make that out?
746How do you make that out?
746How high shall I pay for her?
746How many houses have you built? 746 How much does it cost now?"
746How much flour do you want?
746How much is Harper and Ladue givin''you for manufacturing a stampede?
746How much might you call a pile?
746How much of that Riesling you got?
746How old are you, daddy?
746How old are you, mother?
746How''s your luck?
746I t''ink we take a drink on dat one time, eh?
746I want to know how all this is possible? 746 I''d like to ask you several questions,"he began immediately"Are you thinking of marrying somebody?"
746Is he drunk?
746Let me give him a run?
746Live with her people?
746Me and the ranch?
746Mebbe you- all think I ai n''t weaned yet?
746Now do you know what I would do if I had lots of money and simply had to go on playing at business? 746 Now just what do you want to know?"
746Sawee, Daylight? 746 Say, you ai n''t been let in for some one of these secret marriages have you?"
746Say-- do you mind if I look you up next year? 746 Shall I change them?"
746Slosson?
746Something''s gone wrong-- what is it?
746Son, ai n''t you afraid to be turning loose such information?
746Still got that hunch, Jack?
746That''s the proposition,he repeated to himself;"what will they- all do when the play is close and down to brass tacks?"
746Then this-- this tremendous loss is all unnecessary?
746Then who- all''ll take a job from me, cash wages in advance, to pole up a thousand pounds of grub?
746Then why not ride open and aboveboard with me in the hills?
746To- day? 746 To- morrow''s my birthday, and I''m going to put you- all on your back-- savvee?
746Was it serious?
746Was that your only reason?
746We travel light-- savvee? 746 Well, I''ve got only one question after all: Do you love me enough to marry me?"
746Well,Daylight demanded good- humoredly,"ai n''t you- all got a good word for your pardner?
746What are you going to do about it?
746What are you going to do with two tons?
746What are you going to do?
746What did they do, all the chaps I knew, the chaps in the clubs with whom I''d been cheek by jowl for heaven knows how long? 746 What did you- all have?"
746What do you think of it, eh?
746What have you done to him?
746What in hell''s the matter now?
746What in thunder are you going back to the telegraph office for?
746What would you do if you got a dollar a gallon for it?
746What''s it all about?
746What''s the good of you- all botherin''around that way? 746 What''s wrong with my business?
746What? 746 When are those men coming to pack for me?"
746When are you going to take a rest?
746Where are you going to plant it?
746Where are you- all going?
746Where that come from?
746Where to? 746 Which way do I say it?"
746Who bought her?
746Who- all''ll go pardners with me and pull out in a poling- boat to- morrow for this here Bonanza?
746Who?
746Why continue to play at cross purposes?
746Why do n''t you tackle Indian River, Daylight?
746Why, is it as bad as that?
746Will you be straight and honest? 746 Wo n''t you sit down?"
746Worked pretty hard, I suppose?
746Would n''t you accept a drink of water from one of the Twelve Apostles if you was dying of thirst? 746 Would you rather I did things like that?"
746Yes, how much? 746 You do n''t love me?"
746You like reading, Miss Mason?
746You like the country?
746You mean--?
746You must need cash to buy clothes and magazines?
746You recollect that big spruce that held up the corner of the cache next to the river?
746You sure ai n''t afraid of me?
746You surely would n''t kill us?
746''How much will you give?''
746''What funeral?''
746A home for feeble- minded?
746Ai n''t I right, Mac?
746Ai n''t it good for anything here?"
746Ai n''t that so?"
746Ai n''t that what you''re here for?
746Am I good?"
746Am I right?"
746And Sundays without end without her?
746And again why?
746And do n''t you remember how satisfied you were, how good you felt, while you were doing it and after you had it done?"
746And now I hope you wo n''t mind my just asking why you have n''t been out riding the last two Sundays?"
746And was it worth it?
746And what I want to know is-- well, do you want me?
746And what had been the outcome?
746And what of it?
746And what was Bonanza Creek?
746And what''s more, if there''s anything in it, why ai n''t Bob Henderson smoking along to record?"
746And when would his own turn come?
746And who ever heard of a squaw- man striking anything?
746And who was Carmack?
746And why should n''t he?
746And why?
746And you do n''t dast say that it is n''t; now dast you?"
746Anything I can do for you?''
746Are you- all with me?
746As for himself, were n''t the street- railway earnings increasing steadily?
746But gold they had found-- coarse gold; and what more likely than that the big deposit would be found on bed- rock?
746But how about myself?
746But how to accomplish it?
746But suppose you needed another sort of help-- instead of the strength of arm, the strength of my pocket?
746But suppose your prayer should be answered and I''d go clean broke and have to work for day''s wages?"
746But why had he made it?
746Can you- all give me a rough estimate?"
746Did you hear it?
746Do n''t I know the hard times is on?
746Do n''t you ever have a hankering to drop it all and go back?"
746Do n''t you see?
746Do n''t you see?
746Do n''t you see?
746Do n''t you see?
746Do n''t you see?
746Do n''t you see?
746Do n''t you want to come along?"
746Do you know me well enough know your own mind?"
746Do you love me enough for that?"
746Do you want factories from which you can ship direct by land or water?
746Do you want to land your tea and silk from Asia and ship it straight East?
746Do you wonder that I wo n''t marry you?--that I ca n''t?"
746Ever see anything like him?
746Ever see anything like it?
746Everybody dead?"
746Feeding and dressing and wiping the little noses of a lot of idiots that ca n''t take care of themselves?
746Five?
746For several weeks it was:''What''s become of Ferguson?''
746Funny?
746Grub for Selkirk-- you think um plenty dog- grub stop Selkirk?"
746Had he not, only a few days before, seen Carmack loafing with his Indians and with never a thought of prospecting?
746Had n''t Ryan said so and so?
746Harnish, after having experience with being married to that old fat money- bags, do you- all mind marrying a slim young fellow like me?''
746Has anything happened?"
746Have I said a word about it, though?
746Have n''t you ever made things yourself-- a log cabin up in the Yukon, or a canoe, or raft, or something?
746He drew a deep breath and cried:"The winner pays, and I''m the winner, ai n''t I?
746He was still alive, and most likely would be saved, but how came it that he was not lying dead across the boat on top the ice- rim?
746He wasn''t--""And he does n''t get her, and you''ve read all them pages, hundreds of them, to find that out?"
746Hear me?
746Here, you- all Rawlins, you-- I hereby do take over that same contract, and I start for salt water at nine A.M.--savvee?
746How about planting minutes wholesale, and making two minutes grow where one minute grew before?
746How about the chauffeurs?
746How came they to use it for their secret conference?
746How can you leave your business?
746How is Bob?"
746How is this possible?
746How large was it?
746How long does it take you one way?
746How many trees have you planted?"
746How much Ward Valley was this Klondike gambler going to buy?
746How much could he buy?
746How you are able to leave your business at a time like this?
746How''s it stand now?"
746How''s that hunch, Jack?"
746I ask you straight: When did Carmack do this here prospecting?
746I can put you- all on your back on my birthday-- savvee?
746I was not beholden to them for anything, and when I slipped out there was not one of them to drop me a line and say,''How are you, old man?
746I''m Burning Daylight-- savvee?
746I''m busted higher''n a kite, and I''m hittin''the trail for Dyea--""Goin''out?"
746If the suckers were n''t honest and did n''t respect money, where would the robbers be?
746In his own case he felt that such an imposition would be peculiarly obnoxious, for had she not read that cursed Klondike correspondent''s book?
746In the first place, no warrants for my arrest-- savvee?
746Is it a go?"
746Is that Pat Hanrahan''s mug looking hungry and willing?
746Is there anybody you like as much as you like me?"
746Is they that- all in the dirt?"
746It actually did n''t pay for the toil, but what were they to do?
746It''s his deal, ai n''t it?''"
746Me and the money?"
746Mebbe bring um fly?
746Mystery?
746Not that she would ever dream of marrying him-- she had a score of reasons against it; but why not at least see more of him?
746Now what do you think of that?
746Now?"
746Oh, why did you?"
746Or has his sure enough brilliance plumb dazzled you- all?"
746Or why do n''t you clear out and live a natural life, for instance, like mine?
746Or would you be afraid of his evil intentions"--she made a gesture of dissent"--or of what folks might say about it?"
746Or, perchance, would Wall Street trim him?
746Or..."What''s the matter?"
746Our camp fires was lit where we killed our game, and most of the time we lived on salmon- tracks and rabbit- bellies-- ain''t I right?"
746Savvee, Hegan?
746Savvee?
746Savvee?
746Savvee?
746Savvee?"
746Savvee?"
746Say do you like me more than the littlest bit?"
746Say next Sunday?"
746Shall I tell you a secret?
746Suppose Dede would n''t have him, and suppose he went on loving her more and more, harder and harder?
746Suppose I save two hundred hours a year for thousands of other folks,--that''s farming some, ai n''t it?"
746Suppose you was falling over a cliff, would n''t it be all right for me to reach out and hold you by the arm?
746That Riesling?
746The contractors will sue?
746The graves of the children?
746The land remains, do n''t it?
746The next moment he could have bitten out his tongue for her quick question was:--"How did you know I came from Siskiyou?
746The old arm?
746The scar across the valley?
746Then again why?
746Then why had she?
746Then why not?
746Then why?
746They have them, and what are they going to do about it?
746Thirty million dollars, and a hundred million or nothing in sight, and what have I got to show for it?
746To trim the New Yorkers as he had trimmed the Tonopah crowd in Nevada?
746To- morrow?"
746Two weeks later, with the pay- roll before them, it was:--"Matthewson, who''s this bookkeeper, Rogers?
746Wall Street had trimmed many wild men; would this be Burning Daylight''s fate?
746Were they trusted men like"our"Mr. Howison?
746What I want to know is, from a standpoint of business, is this failure necessary?"
746What are you doing here, anyway?
746What are you going to do about it?"
746What are you- all going to do about it?"
746What can I do?
746What chance had the Indian against such a dogged, enduring breed?
746What chance have I against a man that lifts nine hundred pounds?"
746What d''ye say?"
746What did all his money mean after all?
746What do you call a pile?"
746What do you get out of books?"
746What do you think of it?"
746What had he come for?
746What if he made his million?
746What if it were Dede?
746What in hell did he want to kill himself for?
746What in hell do you think I''m running?
746What is the matter with you?
746What made you come here?
746What of it?
746What of that?
746What time do you- all want to be called?
746What was the Ward Valley crowd doing all this time?
746What was the good of owning millions anyway?
746What were thirty millions when they could not buy a man a ride with the girl he loved?
746What were you doing for a living before you came here?
746What would a Sunday be without Dede?
746What you meant by saying that something was going to happen quickly?
746What''d they- all stake the big flat for if they- all did n''t get the hunch?
746What''d you- all do?
746What''s a man to do when he wants a woman but ask her to marry him?
746What''s luck good for, if you- all ai n''t to ride it?
746What''s one more sack?
746What''s the excitement?"
746What''s the good of thirty millions when I ai n''t got room for more than a quart of cocktails a day?
746What''s the matter with the camp, anyway?
746What''s the matter with you- all?
746What''s the size of the killing, Jack?"
746What''s to prevent wood- burning and sinking shafts and drifting along bed- rock?
746When will you be ready?"
746Where''s that fiddler?"
746Where''s that pardner of yours?
746Where''s the gold I dug out of Klondike?
746Where''s your figures?
746Which was better?
746Which would you sooner have-- me and the money, or me and the ranch?"
746Who could say?
746Who could say?
746Who was made glad by your adding four dollars a ton to Rock Wells?"
746Who won?
746Who''ll lend me some money?"
746Who- all''s got faith to come along with me?"
746Whose was it?
746Why ai n''t it a Firth of Clyde?
746Why did n''t you come to the office?
746Why did n''t you ride in the Piedmont hills?
746Why did n''t you stay in your Klondike?
746Why do n''t more people live in Oakland?
746Why not the waterworks too?
746Why was he hiding away here in the chaparral, he and his books?
746Why wear faces like that when coffins cost only three ounces?
746Why?
746Will you come?"
746Will you let me go and see him and talk it over with him?
746Will you marry me?"
746Will you?--Just next Sunday?
746Wo n''t you stop and hitch and have a glass of wine?"
746Would the lackey talk?
746Would you be satisfied with that one- hundredth part of me?
746Would you care to read it?"
746You first?"
746You have n''t been eating a drug or something?"
746You know that big flat jest below the Klondike and under Moosehide Mountain?
746You remember the quarry I made believe I was looking at?
746You remember what I did to Klinkner and the Altamont Trust Company?
746You''ll be compelled to resign?
746You''ll marry me if I keep on working my head off and drinking Martinis?"
746You''ll say,''I''m Mrs. Harnish, who are you?''
746You- all die here and now while I''ll die subject to the law''s delay-- savvee?
746You- all said...?"
746Your nephew?
746and was n''t it reported that Morgan was preparing to do this and that?
746he meditated,"Slosson?
746to behave in what many men would think was an unwomanly manner?"
746um little fly?"
40219A despatch-- from whom?
40219A magnificent opportunity for me?
40219Ah, ah,the Jaguar said, becoming very attentive,"but how do you know the contents of the dispatch?"
40219Ah, then,he shrieked,"what I was told was true, then?"
40219Ah, very good; but these estimable Caballeros do not constitute the whole of your customers, I presume?
40219And I presume that you are acquainted with these proposals?
40219And Lanzi, my poor Lanzi, have you no news of him?
40219And does my presence here, Carmela, displease you also?
40219And from yours?
40219And if I refuse?
40219And pray who may you be?
40219And that will satisfy you?
40219And then?
40219And very naturally of Captain Melendez, eh?
40219And what is it, may I ask, if you have no objection to tell me?
40219And which you do not share in-- is it not?
40219And why should I answer them? 40219 And you believed in such infamy on my part?"
40219And you feel certain of guiding us safe and sound to the spot where we are expected?
40219And you regret it?
40219And you wish me to give you that proof?
40219And you, my friend?
40219Anxious? 40219 Are travellers so rare, then?"
40219Are we already reaching the spurs of the mountains?
40219Are we prairie- hunters and wood- rangers obliged to obey all the paltry exigencies of cities?
40219Are you asleep, Jaguar?
40219Are you aware what your new allies did last night?
40219Are you by chance speaking to me?
40219Are you speaking the truth?
40219Are you speaking to me in that way?
40219Are you, then, the celebrated wood- ranger, surnamed the Panther- killer?
40219As you see; but what are you doing there? 40219 At what place did you leave the General?"
40219Be frank with me, child, for am I not your best friend?
40219But Doña Carmela, what has become of her?
40219But on what conditions? 40219 But perhaps there is another mode?"
40219But you?
40219But you?
40219Can you be frank?
40219Come, enough of this,the American shouted, greatly exasperated;"what do you want?"
40219Curses,the slave- dealer howled;"have you resolved to make a target of us in turn?"
40219Did I not tell you,the Canadian continued, quietly,"that it had paired?"
40219Did I say four hundred?
40219Did you not hear the bell?
40219Do I not tell you that I have the letter about me?
40219Do not be frightened at such a trifle: answer me simply; is it so or not?
40219Do you fancy I should find any fun in remaining here?
40219Do you insist on knowing?
40219Do you know the contents of this despatch?
40219Do you know what this is?
40219Do you mean it?
40219Do you mean that really?
40219Do you mean the man who leaped off the platform just before you reached it?
40219Do you not feel any inclination for sleep?
40219Do you not know?
40219Do you promise me, then?
40219Do you speak truly? 40219 Do you think so, father?"
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Does my brother still believe that Blue- fox is so weak?
40219Does the Spirit of evil trouble my brother''s brain?
40219Eh, eh, if he had not arrived just in time, he would probably have spoiled our fun; what is your opinion, John?
40219Excellency,he stammered, with great hesitation,"is it necessary that I should fight?"
40219For what end?
40219For what good?
40219For what object?
40219Forgive me, Excellency,he replied;"I have finished; I am now at your orders; what do you desire of me?"
40219Great Heaven, what has happened then?
40219Halloh,he said,"is that you again, Quoniam?"
40219Has he escaped, then?
40219Has my brother Black- deer seen Grey- head?
40219Have I ever refused to satisfy the slightest of your wishes?
40219Have I not reason to do so?
40219Have I not told you that it related to millions?
40219Have I not told you? 40219 Have you anybody with you here?"
40219Have you ever found me severe to you?
40219Here I am,he said,"What do you want of me?"
40219How comes it that they have reached this place before we are warned of their arrival?
40219How do I know? 40219 How do you live?"
40219How does that concern you? 40219 How is it,"the Captain said,"that the sentry at the drawbridge has not challenged?"
40219How long do you believe that you will be compelled to remain silent?
40219How much?
40219How should I? 40219 How so?"
40219How so?
40219How so?
40219How so?
40219How the deuce do you know that I have proposals to make to you?
40219Hum, Chief, I find you very sad to- day; what is the matter with you? 40219 I am glad to see you,"the young man went on, without any display of annoyance;"what accident has brought you in this direction?"
40219I am he,the Captain answered in great surprise;"what do you want?"
40219I am very ready to do so, but what proves to me that you do not mean harm?
40219I belong to myself, myself alone? 40219 I owed it to myself to make it; who knows whether you may not repent to- morrow the hazardous step you are taking to- day?"
40219I think that is the most prudent course; but you must feel a great affection for the Captain, that you so ardently desire to save him?
40219I will try, at any rate, my child, that is all I can promise you for the present; but what do you purpose doing?
40219I, father?
40219I? 40219 I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219If I give you your liberty, should I deliver a friend or a foe?
40219If you are really Tranquil, I will allow you to enter; but who is the man that accompanies you, and for whom you answer?
40219In a few minutes they will be here,he said;"what is to be done?"
40219In a word, will you listen to me?
40219In any case, you will not refuse some slight refreshment?
40219In that case, what answer do you give me?
40219In what council has the grey- head Chief smoked the calumet? 40219 Is he not?"
40219Is it not?
40219Is it really very important?
40219Is my father visiting the valley?
40219Is not Blue- fox satisfied with the way in which I have received him and his companions?
40219Is that a regret you are giving vent to, Chief?
40219Is that all you have to say to me?
40219Is that all you have to tell me?
40219Is that all?
40219Is that all?
40219Is that the name you give my action?
40219Is that you, Davis, my old comrade?
40219Is that your advice?
40219Is the fight over?
40219Is there a hacienda here?
40219It is clearly understood between us, Excellency, that you will give me five hundred ounces?
40219It is sad, is it not?
40219It must be very difficult to say, then?
40219It was certainly a glorious sight; but are you not afraid that he may avenge himself? 40219 It''s settled then?"
40219Lanzi?
40219Look at me carefully; do you not recognize me?
40219May Heaven hear you, for I am dying of cold; is it a large animal?
40219Me?
40219My brother wishes to return to the warriors of his nation?
40219Niña?
40219No, that is not sufficient; I am free, that is true, but how have I become so? 40219 Now I can come, go, sleep, work, or rest, and no one can prevent me, and I need not fear the lash?"
40219Of course,the Canadian remarked, laughingly,"this caballero, who arrived so fortunately, was a friend of yours?"
40219Of what am I accused?
40219Oh, oh, you have a tough job before you; there are eighteen of us, do you know that?
40219Oh, oh,he said, in a slightly suppressed tone,"what is the matter, then?"
40219Oh, oh,the Jaguar said, in a good- humoured tone,"you have had a good hunt it seems, Lanzi; are the deer plentiful on the plain?"
40219Oh, very good, that''s a funny name you have given him; however, no matter, you say you care very little for him?
40219On me? 40219 One moment,"he said;"if you give me these weapons, how will you manage to return to town?"
40219Or, if you prefer it, can you be honest?
40219Parley,the Captain answered,"what good will that do?
40219Perhaps I am,he said, in a hollow voice;"Tranquil, your age is double mine; your experience is great; why do you judge rashly on appearances?"
40219Perhaps they are spies?
40219Prisoners? 40219 Shall I treat with him?
40219Shall I wait for him?
40219Shall we remain here in ambush?
40219Since you heard me,she said, attempting to jest,"why do you ask me?"
40219So soon as that?
40219So,he said,"you did not see the little one to- day Quoniam?"
40219Spies?
40219Stay,the Captain suddenly exclaimed,"where is the monk?
40219Still on credit?
40219Still we shall soon be between two hills?
40219Supposing,he said presently,"I allow you to enter, who guarantees that you will not betray me?
40219Thanks for what?
40219That is not the question,the Captain continued impatiently;"will you answer Yes or No?"
40219That is possible; but if that is the case, why not tell me them, at once?
40219That is true; but for what purpose does the General write to the Captain?
40219That is true; then it displeases your father-- is that it?
40219That to- morrow, so soon as the sale is completed, you will mount your horse-- you have one, I suppose?
40219That?
40219The nights are long,Blue- fox then said,"will my brothers remain here smoking?"
40219Then nothing can convince you of my good faith?
40219Then we have arrived?
40219Then what do you fear?
40219Then why did you begin the obstinate hunt with dogs and guns?
40219Then you are betraying your Chief?
40219Then you are quite dry?
40219Then you consent?
40219Then you hate the Jaguar of course?
40219Then you have a secret?
40219Then you have not finished yet?
40219Then you have nothing more to say to me?
40219Then you have succeeded?
40219Then you meditate a robbery?
40219Then, I can still count on my brother''s assistance?
40219Then, we play fair?
40219Then, you can not fix a period?
40219Then, you give it credit?
40219Then,the Black at length said,"I am free-- truly free?"
40219They are right,the young man answered, coldly;"that is really my intention; what next?"
40219To be killed, eh?
40219To whom else?
40219Very good, then; I admit it: what next?
40219We shall not part again?
40219We shall see,he said;"shall we soon get out of this infernal forest in which we now are?"
40219Well paid?
40219Well, Sam,he said in a low voice, as if afraid of being overheard,"I fancy we have succeeded, eh?"
40219Well, and now that you know me, are you disposed to answer my questions?
40219Well, daughter mine,the Canadian said to her softly,"what are you doing there?
40219Well, my friend,the Jaguar answered, carelessly,"men of that stamp are necessary, else what would become of us?"
40219Well, then, why not confess to me frankly what is troubling you?
40219Well, what else do I?
40219Well, what prevents you going then?
40219Well,John Davis asked him, who was anxiously watching for his return,"what have you obtained?"
40219Well,Tranquil asked the Chief,"what do you think of all this?"
40219Well,the Redskin said,"in what way can Monkey- face injure that safety?''
40219Well?
40219Were they expecting anybody?
40219What about Blue- fox?
40219What advice do you give me?
40219What brings you here?
40219What can have become of him?
40219What conditions?
40219What do I care? 40219 What do you intend doing?"
40219What do you intend doing?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you say?
40219What do you say?
40219What do you want of me?
40219What do you want, señorita?
40219What do you want?
40219What do you want?
40219What do you wish for, Caballeros?
40219What does my brother think?
40219What does my father answer?
40219What does that concern you?
40219What does that mean?
40219What else can I do in this accursed desert, where I have buried myself for my sins?
40219What for?
40219What has become of my slave?
40219What have you to fear? 40219 What is it, Bob?"
40219What is it, then?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is that you say?
40219What is the matter here?
40219What is the matter with you?
40219What is the matter?
40219What is the meaning of that?
40219What is the meaning of this?
40219What is this I feel?
40219What is this?
40219What is to be done?
40219What is to be done?
40219What is to be done?
40219What is to be done?
40219What is your motive for wishing to see me?
40219What is your name?
40219What is your plan?
40219What makes you suppose that?
40219What matter?
40219What matters the thought of a Chief at this moment,he answered,"since the Council of the Sachems has resolved on war?"
40219What may they be?
40219What money do you mean?
40219What more important consideration can compel you, then, señorita?
40219What need of details?
40219What need to tell you a story which can interest you so slightly? 40219 What other name can a poor slave give you?"
40219What other name can be given to so infamous a deed?
40219What was it?
40219What was the omen, then?
40219What were you doing there?
40219What will happen, then? 40219 What will you do, lads?"
40219What would you have? 40219 What would you have?"
40219What would you like to have?
40219What you say is noble, Chief; and I am happy to hear you speak thus; but are your measures well taken? 40219 What''s that you say?
40219What, you remained here?
40219What?
40219What?
40219What?
40219What?
40219What?
40219What?
40219Where are the buyers? 40219 Where are you going, my love?"
40219Where are you, you who are speaking?
40219Where are your warriors?
40219Where is she?
40219Where is the golden- haired girl?
40219Who I am?
40219Who are you then?
40219Who are you, as you speak our language with such correctness that you might almost be taken for one of our countrymen?
40219Who are you, then?
40219Who are you-- what is your name?
40219Who are you? 40219 Who are you?"
40219Who are you?
40219Who are you?
40219Who assures me that you are a friend? 40219 Who can answer for the future?"
40219Who else do you suppose?
40219Who else, then?
40219Who guarantees that the despatch you have brought me was really handed to you?
40219Who knows?
40219Who knows?
40219Who knows?
40219Who was it, then?
40219Who was the man-- did you learn?
40219Who we are?
40219Who''s Quoniam?
40219Who''s there?
40219Who''s this, John?
40219Who?
40219Whose turn is it next?
40219Why did you give it up then, since you liked it so much?
40219Why does my brother torture that man so?
40219Why not? 40219 Why not?
40219Why not? 40219 Why not?"
40219Why seek a subterfuge, if you wish to break the promise you made me? 40219 Why shall I not, if you please?"
40219Why should I do so? 40219 Why should I not allow it, since it is true?
40219Why should I refuse it to you, Chief? 40219 Why should it displease him?
40219Why so?
40219Why so?
40219Why so?
40219Why, señor, what man can answer for himself, and know positively who he is?
40219Why, then, did they become hostile?
40219Why, then, does a skin now cover my father''s heart? 40219 Why, then, has he painted all his body in this way?"
40219Why, where would you have me go?
40219Will my brothers allow themselves any longer to be mocked by a single man?
40219Will you answer my questions?
40219Will you play fair?
40219Will you surrender?
40219Would it? 40219 Would there be any harm in asking how much?"
40219Would you have come here without?
40219Wretched? 40219 Yes, I heard it, dear,"she replied;"but do you intend to open the gate at this hour?"
40219Yes, and you would not be vexed if I let you mount it, to fly more rapidly, eh?
40219Yes, while my comrades and I are trying to save the Captain?
40219Yes,"Now, do you consent to lead me to the Jaguar?
40219You are a hunter?
40219You are harsh to me, to- day, Tranquil,the young: man answered sorrowfully;"how have I sunk in your esteem?
40219You are in a great hurry to escape from me; are you afraid lest your lover may surprise you in conversation with me?
40219You are mad; have I not told you I wished to play the Indians a famous trick?
40219You are not asleep, Don Juan?
40219You did not expect me, I fancy?
40219You have had missions?
40219You have this dispatch?
40219You know that you are to serve as my guide?
40219You say you will sell your house for four hundred piastres?
40219You seem to have made a long ride, Caballero?
40219You swear it?
40219You think so?
40219You will obey?
40219You?
40219Your right to cross- question me?
40219_ Dios guarde a Vm!_he said,"have I the honour of speaking with Captain Don Juan Melendez?"
40219After this aside, during which Lanzi sought in vain to distinguish his unknown foe, he shouted in a loud voice:--"Hilloah, who are you?"
40219Am I responsible for the silence you insist on maintaining on all that concerns you personally?
40219And have you many of these missions?"
40219And pray do you know_ his_ name, my child?"
40219And what has become of him?"
40219Answer my questions plainly, or, if not--""If not?"
40219Are the savages completely wrong in thinking so?
40219Are they beginning to fear lest their prey may escape them?
40219Are you alone here?"
40219Are you really one of my fellow men, disposed to serve me?"
40219Are you tired?"
40219As for me-- bah, who knows?"
40219At last he raised his head, and turned to his wife--"Do you not hear the children crying?"
40219At this moment, when the hunter returned, Lanzi was saying to his mistress--"Why, señorita, should you fatigue yourself further this night?
40219But what could poor Indians do against Palefaces armed with rifles?
40219But what is the great service you propose to render me?"
40219But what''s that?"
40219But who guarantees that the conducta will pass through this gorge?"
40219But who was this man?
40219By the bye, Tranquil, do you know that it is cold?
40219Can a reprobate be beloved?"
40219Can you bring any accusation against them?"
40219Come, do you feel better?
40219Could you tell me, if I wished you to lead me to him?"
40219Did John Davis tell you my name?"
40219Did you not see that they have no power over him, and that his body is invulnerable?"
40219Did you, on waking this morning find yourself lying on your left side?"
40219Do you consider me ungrateful, then?"
40219Do you fancy it so easy to find about here a man with four or five hundred piastres in his pocket; and, moreover, ready to commit an act of folly?"
40219Do you know who accompanies him?"
40219Do you think it will carry on that game much longer?"
40219Do you understand me, Chief?"
40219Does my brother know how a sale of land is effected?"
40219Does my brother still think that I was wrong in throwing down the bloody arrows?"
40219Does that accursed monk wish to poach on our manor?"
40219Don Juan said;"and pray where may you be going, Señor Padre?"
40219Go on, girl, where will you find a confessor so indulgent as I am?"
40219Has my father had any cause to reproach the Chief?"
40219Has not such constantly been the conduct of the Palefaces?
40219Have not all our men returned?"
40219Have you come to me as friends or foes?"
40219Have you examined the neighbourhood carefully?"
40219Have you not confessed it yourself?"
40219Have you placed the sentinels as I recommended, Sergeant?"
40219Have you recovered sufficiently to continue your journey?"
40219He began laughing at my father''s words, and replied to him--''Are you the chief of the Redskins of this village?''
40219Hilloh,"he shouted,"what do you want?"
40219How can Tranquil leave you thus?"
40219How do you find yourself?"
40219How many are they?"
40219I am as good as any other man, white, yellow, or red?"
40219I am no longer a beast of burthen, which is loaded and harnessed?
40219I am not insulting you, Carmela; what harm is there in a pretty girl like you having a lover, if not two?"
40219I can act and think like other men?
40219I like to hear you speak so, for it proves to me that I was not mistaken about you; and now what do you intend to do?"
40219If I am foolish enough to let you go quietly, what assures me that you will not turn against me?"
40219If you are so uncomfortable here, why the deuce do you remain?"
40219If you do not know the habits of tigers, who should?"
40219Is it my fault, if, owing to your character, and the mysterious life you lead, you are placed beyond the pale of ordinary existence?
40219Is not the cause we defend grand enough to excite us to carry out our enterprise at all hazards?"
40219Is that the justice of the Palefaces?"
40219Is that true?"
40219Is the reward large?"
40219Is their reasoning false?
40219Is this constant disafforesting and clearing of the American continent a misfortune?
40219Is your force large enough to ensure success?
40219It is not difficult, I allow; and when he is in your power, supposing I do what you wish, what do you intend doing with him?"
40219My disguise?"
40219Or was it, on the other hand, the trail of a white man wandering about the desert, of whose habits he was ignorant?
40219Or, else, a soul ulcerated by a frightful misfortune, all whose faculties are directed to one object, vengeance?
40219The Captain was compelled to be satisfied with the guide''s half promise, so he went on:--"Who are you?"
40219The young man, therefore, mastered his impatience, and coldly said:--"I presume, then, you saw some evil omen at the moment of your departure?"
40219Then I need not look any longer over there?"
40219Then he added aloud--"Are you well acquainted with this part of the country?"
40219Then why did you bring it here?"
40219Then you supposed that the Jaguar intended to attack the conducta, and possibly kill the Captain, eh?"
40219This morning, then, I should have peremptorily declined the Jaguar''s proposals, for how do the wars the Palefaces wage together concern us?
40219Tranquil interrupted her, with a frown,"Do you know the scoundrels?"
40219Was he one of those monstrous organizations, which, beneath the envelope of man, contain a tiger''s heart?
40219Was it a feint employed by his enemies to deceive him more easily by letting him see a clumsy trail intended to conceal the real one?
40219Well, I will explain myself; at the moment the officer was about to start, you said to him,''Take care,''Would you venture to deny it?"
40219Well, if you like, after we have killed the jaguar, we will go to the Potrero-- does that suit you?"
40219Well, what would you have?
40219Were you not received, on your arrival, by the Chiefs of the tribe, in the light of a friend?"
40219What about?"
40219What answer shall I give the Jaguar?"
40219What did you guess from these few words?"
40219What do I need gold or silver, as a man of the desert to whom Heaven supplies daily food so liberally?
40219What do you want with me?
40219What do you want?"
40219What fearful catastrophe had cast him into the fearful mode of life he led?
40219What for?"
40219What has become of the girl with the golden hair, who lives here with my brother?"
40219What have you done?"
40219What is your decision?"
40219What reprehensible act have I done?"
40219What singular accident could have brought him so far on the border?
40219What trade were they carrying on?
40219What were the thoughts that contracted his forehead and made his eyebrows meet?
40219What will the Jaguar do for Blue- fox and his warriors?"
40219What will you reply to that?"
40219Whence comes this species of secret presentiment which is never wrong in its appreciation?
40219Whence did he come?
40219Whenever did the Palefaces have a straight and honest tongue?"
40219Where are the sachems who have treated with him?
40219Where is he?"
40219Where is the Jaguar at this moment?"
40219Who answers for your good faith?
40219Why did you not escape during my absence?"
40219Why not sell it?"
40219Why should I--_I,_ desire your absence?
40219Will he be willing to save him?"
40219Will my brother follow me?''"
40219Will you be good enough to tell me?"
40219You allow it?"
40219You are in a capital condition, and well escorted; what cause can you have for fear?"
40219You are really a bandit?"
40219You must be exhausted with fatigue, so why not try to get a few minutes''rest?"
40219Your name, brother?"
40219Yours?"
40219and why has suspicion crept into his mind about a man against whom, as he says himself, he has not the slightest reproach to bring?
40219continue my journey?"
40219did you see three owls flying on your right?
40219have I not to deal with an Apache?"
40219he answered;"Who am I that I should impose on you a line of conduct which you would probably despise, and advice which would prove unwelcome?
40219he asked himself, mentally, as he shook his head,"Can I be mistaken?
40219he asked in a loud and firm voice;"Are you afraid of letting yourself be seen?"
40219he asked;"Have you brought prisoners?"
40219he cried,"What do you want here?"
40219he exclaimed, in great grief,"What is said of you is true, then?
40219he exclaimed,"What is my brother doing here?"
40219he muttered to himself;"For what reason can he seek me?"
40219he muttered, as he pressed his hand powerfully against his heart, as if he suddenly felt a sudden pain:"Can it be what people call love?
40219he said, as he rose with marks of terrible anxiety,"What is taking place in the forest?"
40219he said,"Look over there, Captain; is not that a musket barrel glistening in the sunbeams?"
40219he said;"Do you fear an ambuscade?"
40219he shouted, loudly,"Have they done that?"
40219he went on, directly after;"How can I, the Jaguar, love?
40219he yelled in his fury,"do you wish to assassinate me?"
40219how so?"
40219one of them said, as he looked up;"Did she really say that?"
40219shall we get ready?"
40219she asked with feigned surprise;"Have I not brought you the mezcal you ordered?"
40219she exclaimed, turning pallid as a corpse;"What do you mean?"
40219she replied in embarrassment;"what do you suppose I said to him?"
40219the American answered, firmly;"What we want?
40219the Canadian went on, with a laugh,"then you''re John Davis, the famous slave- dealer?"
40219the Captain exclaimed, as he looked at a clock on the wall in front of him;"it is nearly eight o''clock, who can come so late?
40219the Captain muttered,"What does he want here?"
40219the Captain remarked, more undecided than ever,"and who will answer for you?"
40219the Scalper went on;"Have you not mumbled paternosters enough?"
40219the arriero exclaimed, joyfully;"Are you sure of what you assert?"
40219the half- breed answered with a significant shrug of his shoulders;"Why, do you not know that I would go into the fire for you?
40219the hunter continued, with a frown,"What could he have to do at the venta?"
40219the maiden murmured in agony;"Shall we arrive in time?"
40219the monk asked timidly;"Do you intend to abandon me then?"
40219the monk growled,"we have had hardly time to breakfast; why the deuce are you in such a hurry, Captain?"
40219the monk repeated, in amazement;"What opportunity, honourable Captain?"
40219what do you mean?"
40219what have we to fear from such vermin?
40219you are young, stout, and well armed; are you not capable of protecting yourself?"
40219you must be the Jaguar, whose name is held in execration on this border?"
40219you, Carmela?"
45582''Sanycowboys?
45582''Sanyoneurt?
45582A balloon?
45582A cyclone?
45582A telegram?
45582All ready to go home?
45582All ready?
45582Am I? 45582 Am I?"
45582An automobile out here? 45582 An example?
45582And I wonder what''s happening to Will in there?
45582And did you fly it over our camp?
45582And do you intend to look further?
45582And it really works?
45582And so Will fainted as soon as he greeted you?
45582And the other plan?
45582And then?
45582And what can you hunt there?
45582And you''ll speak to Andy about us, as soon as you can; wo n''t you?
45582Anderson, are you in bed?
45582Any Indians out there?
45582Any bad news? 45582 Are n''t we the ninnies?"
45582Are n''t you going to get aboard?
45582Are there any big eagles around here?
45582Are these private grounds?
45582Are those all your reasons?
45582Are we going to start soon?
45582Are we going to travel with a real live Indian?
45582Are you boys pretty good at going dry?
45582Are you fellows all ready? 45582 Are you having a good time, boys?"
45582Are you hurt?
45582Are you sure there is no more danger?
45582Are you sure, Mabel?
45582Are you-- are you all right?
45582Are you-- are you sure?
45582As soon as you can, eh? 45582 Better go home-- what for, Budge?"
45582But I say, Socker, get me a couple of good, dry, heavy towels, will you? 45582 But did you fellows have any luck?"
45582But did you hear some men speaking?
45582But he sends money for your schooling and board to Mr. Gabel, does n''t he?
45582But how will we get him?
45582But might one not be alive, by chance, in some big mountain cave?
45582But s''pose we get to a ravine, or something like that?
45582But there are some woods, are n''t there?
45582But what about our stuff?
45582But what about that Indian, Long Gun?
45582But what is he carrying?
45582But what is it?
45582But what made you go over by that sulphur spring?
45582But what sort of supplies did he take?
45582But what sound was it?
45582But what was that remark you just made?
45582But when will the blizzard stop?
45582But who got shot? 45582 But wo n''t they find out who did it?"
45582But you''re not likely to, are you? 45582 But you''re sure he was here once, ai n''t you?"
45582But, Bill, what has happened? 45582 But, say, did n''t we come into this bad section from the east when we were after the deer?"
45582But-- but suppose it should blow up the place, Jack dear?
45582Ca n''t Socker start a new fire and get up steam?
45582Ca n''t some of you pull that whistle cord?
45582Ca n''t some one send word to the village?
45582Ca n''t the train go fast backward?
45582Ca n''t we get water there?
45582Ca n''t we go get it?
45582Ca n''t you carry enough water so that if you''re four days instead of two crossing the desert you''ll have plenty?
45582Ca n''t you do it now?
45582Camping?
45582Can you stop your horse, Jack?
45582Come with you? 45582 Did any of you fellows hear anything in the night?"
45582Did n''t I tell you?
45582Did n''t we hear them call and speak about our camp fire? 45582 Did n''t we leave them outside, on the edge of this pestiferous region?"
45582Did n''t you eat enough supper?
45582Did n''t you say something about Stinking Spring?
45582Did we lose anything off the sled, Will?
45582Did you and Long Gun get along all right?
45582Did you ever try to lift a dead bear?
45582Did you mean that about a gun club?
45582Did you see that rabbit? 45582 Do I, Mr. Ranger?
45582Do bears eat meat?
45582Do n''t you know there''s a dangerous ravine just ahead here?
45582Do you feel better?
45582Do you know him?
45582Do you know that there is a warrant out for your arrest if you ever come back in the neighborhood of Denton?
45582Do you mean it?
45582Do you mean that?
45582Do you realize what you''re saying?
45582Do you really? 45582 Do you s''pose he''s coming here, Jack?"
45582Do you s''pose it''s train robbers?
45582Do you see it?
45582Do you think Jerry had anything to do with them making us move away?
45582Do you think he''ll be there?
45582Do you think it''ll be safe?
45582Do you think this has anything to do with the other?
45582Do you want it to go all the way to your toes?
45582Do you want to frighten us all to death?
45582Do you want to stay with me, or go back with your friends for a while? 45582 Do you-- do you think he''s dead?"
45582Does n''t it go far enough in you, Bony?
45582Excuse me for mentioning it,said Jack, as Mr. Swaim prepared to leave the cabin,"but you have a chap here named Jerry Chowden?
45582Gasolene, eh?
45582Going anywhere in particular?
45582Going dry?
45582Going far?
45582Going home?
45582Going in for hunting?
45582Goinome?
45582Gotchertickets?
45582Has n''t he got a sweet voice?
45582Have we got to carry him back to camp?
45582Have we? 45582 Have you been hazed yet?"
45582Have you got a good seat, Jack?
45582Have you got everything, Jack?
45582Have you hypnotized Dr. Mead and put wax in Martin''s ears so he ca n''t hear us?
45582Have you-- have you got room for me here?
45582Hello, Hexter, is Snaith all right?
45582Hickville, eh? 45582 His pipe?
45582Horses? 45582 How about it?"
45582How about the bundle of papers you left in the tree?
45582How about you, Budge?
45582How are we going to get this back to camp?
45582How are you going to get him out?
45582How are you, Will?
45582How can I go camping and hunting, away off in Wyoming, without money?
45582How can we use that?
45582How can we?
45582How did it happen?
45582How did the fire start? 45582 How did you chaps get here, this time?"
45582How do I know? 45582 How do you feel, Dock?"
45582How do you know men were on its back?
45582How do you know?
45582How do you know?
45582How do you mean?
45582How is it you''re dressed?
45582How long are you going to stay?
45582How long before the boiler will go up?
45582How we going back to camp?
45582How you feeling?
45582How''s that?
45582How''s that?
45582How?
45582How?
45582How?
45582Hungry?
45582Hunting?
45582Hurt much?
45582I have, eh?
45582I mean do you think he told those men lies about us? 45582 I s''pose you''ll tell''em you shot it, wo n''t you?"
45582I say, Jack,called Nat,"have you heard the latest?"
45582I say, you new kid, what''s your name?
45582I suppose you think Ranger will have it all his own way?
45582I vunder who can haf sent it to me?
45582I wonder how far back we have to go to reach the switch?
45582I wonder if Budge and Long Gun will worry about our not coming back?
45582I wonder if I killed him?
45582I wonder if he would n''t like to go, too?
45582I wonder if he''s in there?
45582I wonder if it could have been a bear?
45582I wonder if the horses are hurt, though? 45582 I wonder if we shall ever solve the mystery?"
45582I wonder if your new friends know as much about you as we do?
45582I wonder what he''s doing that for?
45582I wonder what he''s stopping for? 45582 I wonder what that is?"
45582I wonder what that noise was?
45582I wonder what their''work''can be?
45582I wonder what they''re up to now?
45582I wonder who it''s from?
45582I wonder why he should be sad when he''s at such a jolly place as Washington Hall?
45582In town?
45582Is he afraid the big bird will get away?
45582Is he-- is he dead?
45582Is it your gun club?
45582Is n''t it queer he ca n''t live one day without being mean? 45582 Is that all you came for?"
45582Is that so?
45582Is that so?
45582Is that what this is for?
45582Is that where the whistle cord is?
45582It will, eh? 45582 It''s to the tune of''Who Put Tacks in Willie''s Shoes?''"
45582Jack,said Nat at length,"do you know it''s getting late?"
45582Jugitback?
45582Jumped in? 45582 Juthinkitwasacyclone?"
45582Juthinkwe''llseeanyrobbers?
45582Like fish?
45582Lost?
45582Me? 45582 No use?
45582None left? 45582 Now are you ready?"
45582Now why do n''t you go tell Andy, who seems to be the head of this crowd, what I say, and ask him to let us go?
45582Now, what did you chaps come here for?
45582Oh, it''s you, is it, Jerry Chowden?
45582Oh, was that your meat?
45582Oh, what''s the use discussing fairy tales?
45582Oh, you can, eh?
45582Oh, you will, eh? 45582 Our camp?"
45582Pass what around?
45582Perhaps he''s a trifle deaf,thought Jack, and he asked again more loudly:"Would n''t you like to go for a row?"
45582Rest? 45582 S''pose he''ll go?"
45582S''posin''youdon''tcomeback?
45582S''posing we do n''t?
45582Say, Jack, ca n''t you think of some scheme for getting Garlach and Socrat to speak? 45582 Say, fellows,"remarked Nat in a low voice to the other lads,"what do you think of Jack?"
45582Say, how would you like to come with me?
45582Say, what about our deer, that you shot, Jack?
45582Say, who all are going camping and hunting?
45582Shall we let the freshman go?
45582ShallIshoot''em?
45582Smell anything?
45582Snowing?
45582So you think it''s a bird; eh?
45582Tanker Ike?
45582That''s a good way, but in which direction shall we go?
45582That''s the limit-- isn''t it, Jack?
45582Then we''re captives?
45582Then what can we do?
45582Then you''ll come?
45582Think I have n''t anything to do except stay here and start this race? 45582 Three to one, eh?
45582Vot is dis?
45582Was that Andy, as you call him, who went in the big shed with Will?
45582We have n''t, eh? 45582 Well, Jack, which way now?"
45582Well, Nat and I were shipwrecked once,answered Jack,"and if it had n''t rained we''d have been in a bad way, eh, Nat?"
45582Well, did you see that?
45582Well, if you think you can beat me, why do n''t you bet? 45582 Well, we''ll soon begin packing for home----""Home?
45582Well, what''s the program to- day?
45582Well, with what?
45582Well?
45582Well?
45582Well?
45582Were n''t you warned to keep away from here before? 45582 Were they birds?"
45582Were you lost?
45582Were you really shipwrecked?
45582What about the deer you shot?
45582What about the grub?
45582What about those queer marks in the snow?
45582What are those bad lands?
45582What are we going to do now?
45582What are you going to do with the note?
45582What are you going to do, Jack?
45582What are you going to do?
45582What are you going to do?
45582What are you lads doing here?
45582What big bird?
45582What did I tell you?
45582What did you come down that way for?
45582What do you mean?
45582What do you think it was, Jack?
45582What do you think of it?
45582What do you think, Long Gun, have we time to go a little farther and try for a big ram?
45582What do you think, then?
45582What do you want to shoot, Budge?
45582What do you want?
45582What do you want?
45582What else?
45582What for?
45582What have fish got to do with it?
45582What in the world can he want out there?
45582What in the world did you ever put your foot in that trap for?
45582What in the world do you suppose that was?
45582What is it?
45582What is it?
45582What is n''t?
45582What is your uncle doing in the West?
45582What is?
45582What makes it smell so?
45582What of it?
45582What queer marks in the snow?
45582What shall we do?
45582What sort of a camp is it?
45582What was that, Long Gun?
45582What will we do, then-- go fishing?
45582What''s his name?
45582What''s that you said?
45582What''s that? 45582 What''s that?"
45582What''s that?
45582What''s that?
45582What''s that?
45582What''s the matter now?
45582What''s the matter with it?
45582What''s the matter with this grub?
45582What''s the matter with you?
45582What''s the matter? 45582 What''s the matter?

45582What''s the matter?
45582What''s the matter?
45582What''s the matter?
45582What''s the matter?
45582What''s the matter?
45582What''s the odds?
45582What''s the trouble now?
45582What''s up?
45582What''s up?
45582What-- what''s that you said?
45582What?
45582What?
45582What?
45582What?
45582What?
45582Whatever is in all those packages? 45582 When are we going to make another try to discover the secret of the strange camp?"
45582When are you going?
45582When can we start, Jack?
45582When does the fun begin?
45582When will Sam and Bony arrive?
45582When''ll it be?
45582Where are you going?
45582Where are you going?
45582Where could we go hunting?
45582Where did you drift in from?
45582Where did you get it?
45582Where have you been all this while?
45582Where in the world have you been?
45582Where is the fire, Ranger?
45582Where will the Indian guide meet us?
45582Where you going?
45582Where you going?
45582Where''llyoube?
45582Where''s Budge?
45582Where''smygum?
45582Where?
45582Where?
45582Where?
45582Who had a better right?
45582Who was you depending on to tote your stuff across the desert?
45582Who''s Andy?
45582Who''s that?
45582Who-- Dock or Jack?
45582Who?
45582Why did n''t I keep out my gun?
45582Why did you run away?
45582Why do n''t they let him come here with us? 45582 Why not?"
45582Why not?
45582Why not?
45582Why not?
45582Why not?
45582Why should n''t he?
45582Why so?
45582Why, what''s up, you animated jewsharp?
45582Why?
45582Why?
45582Why?
45582Why?
45582Why?
45582Why?
45582Will I come? 45582 Will I?
45582Will I?
45582Will Socker keep mum?
45582Will any harm come to Will?
45582Will you make him go back if he does come?
45582Wonder what we''re waiting for?
45582Would n''t it be a joke if, after all, he could go camping with us and fool his mean old guardian?
45582Would n''t that jolt you?
45582Would you like to take a walk? 45582 Would you like to try a ride in it?"
45582Wyoming, eh?
45582Yes, but how are we to get down?
45582Yo''got better one?
45582You do n''t care?
45582You do n''t say so? 45582 You mean the lad who ran into the shed?
45582You mean the strange sound we heard at night?
45582You say the trouble occurred over something in history, eh?
45582You''re not afraid, are you?
45582You''re not going to back out, are you?
45582You''re not going without seeing Mabel; are you?
45582You-- you''re not going to-- are you?
45582283 JACK RANGER''S GUN CLUB CHAPTER I JACK WINS A RACE"Now, then, are you all ready?"
45582A buck or a ram for mine, eh, Nat?"
45582Are they after our money?"
45582Are we going to ride horses?"
45582Are you boys all right now?
45582Are you going to have a guide?"
45582Are you sure you heard it before?"
45582Are you?"
45582As Jack and Nat advanced toward the river, which was about half a mile from camp, Nat suddenly called out:"What''s that smell?"
45582But I meant to ask you boys how do you calculate to travel after you get to Fort Custer?
45582But have you an arrow in hobnails, on the soles of your boots?"
45582But how do you suppose he came to get in with them?"
45582But what about you, Bill?
45582But what do you s''pose it is?"
45582But what of that?"
45582But where are we?"
45582But who would have thought that Socrat would have brought along a pail of water?"
45582But why do n''t you tell your uncle?"
45582But, as we asked before, what''s the use of rubbing it in?
45582CHAPTER VII A STRANGE CONFESSION"Say, Jack,"began Nat at breakfast a little later,"what are you going to the village for?"
45582CHAPTER VIII THE MIDNIGHT FEAST"Well, fellows, are we all here?"
45582CHAPTER XIV THE BROKEN TRAIN"What is it?"
45582CHAPTER XXVIII WILL SAVES JACK''S LIFE"What do you think of that, Jack?"
45582CHAPTER XXXI A PERILOUS RIDE"Well,"asked Jack again,"will you go, or do I have to take the trip alone?"
45582CHAPTER XXXIII HELD CAPTIVES"Now then, you chaps; are you going to come along quietly, or will we have to use force?"
45582Ca n''t he come?"
45582Ca n''t you go camping?"
45582Can you go without a drink if you have to?"
45582Did n''t the conductor say that as soon as we passed the broken freight train we would get on our regular track?
45582Did n''t the old Aztecs make human sacrifices?"
45582Did they send you after me, Budge?"
45582Did you have some breakfast?"
45582Did you shoot the buck?"
45582Do n''t you think so?"
45582Do n''t you think so?"
45582Do n''t you, Budge?"
45582Do you know Nat Anderson?"
45582Do you know that Socrat and Garlach have n''t spoken to each other this term yet?"
45582Do you like pie, Socker?"
45582Do you think I left them until now?"
45582Do you think he can?"
45582Eh, Long Gun?"
45582Eh, fellows?"
45582Give him three whistles, ca n''t you?"
45582Has the clock struck?"
45582He appeared worried, and Jack, seeing this, asked him:"Do you think we ought to be at the river now?"
45582He was up again in a second, however, and spluttered out:"Wha-- what do you mean?
45582How about you?"
45582How are we going to cook any breakfast?"
45582How could they see it unless they were up high in the air, on the back of some big bird?"
45582I called in Stephen----""Is that the red- haired man?"
45582I remember once when we were at Gettysburg----""Bony, where''s that extra choice pie you had?"
45582I s''pose you''re going home, too?"
45582I say, Williams, where are you going?"
45582I wonder how Will slept?"
45582I wonder if he will come here?"
45582I wonder what in the world can be in that shed?"
45582I wonder what we''d better do about it?"
45582Is everything all right?"
45582Is he a friend of yours?"
45582Is it a hold- up?
45582Is it the river?"
45582Is n''t it better to stay in one of our cabins, where it''s nice and warm?
45582Is n''t that a peace pipe?
45582Is the Big Horn River near where we are going?"
45582It startled the lads, and Nat exclaimed:"What''s that?"
45582Jack, Nat, Sam, Bony-- what do you think it is that my uncle has in the big shed-- the thing that flew over our camp and scared Long Gun so?
45582Like um jack- rabbits, or um bear?
45582Long Gun, are you so afraid of the mysterious noise that you ca n''t build a fire?"
45582No spending money?
45582Now, Will, I''ll tell you what you''re going to do?"
45582Now, will you give me your parole, or will I have to lock you up?"
45582Say, you finish crowding my stuff into my trunk, will you?
45582Shall I tell them, Uncle Andy?"
45582So you fell in the lake, eh?"
45582So you''re going with Tanker Ike, eh?
45582Such as saying we were dangerous characters, and not safe to have around?"
45582The meal was much enjoyed, and at its conclusion, Will remarked:"Have you decided what to do with me, Uncle Andy?"
45582Then Jack asked:"How did you get away out here?
45582Then Jack finally declared:"Oh, what''s the use of wasting our breath over it?
45582Then he called out:"Is he dead?"
45582Then he patted him on the back, and his own voice was a trifle husky as he said:"Say, old man, what''s the matter?
45582Think I ca n''t beat Jack Ranger?"
45582Think you''re smart, do n''t you?"
45582This is Rattlesnake Mountain, is n''t it?"
45582Want to come along?
45582Want to try it again?"
45582Was it a mountain sheep?
45582Was it fancy, or did he see some great, mysterious shape moving over the camp?
45582Was it fancy, or did she leave her hand in his a little longer than was absolutely necessary?
45582Well, are we all ready, Stephen?"
45582Well, how in the world did you ever get here?"
45582Were n''t you told that your horses would be shot if you came?"
45582What did you think, when I ran away?"
45582What do you make of it?"
45582What do you mean?"
45582What do you mean?"
45582What do you say to twenty- five dollars as a side bet?"
45582What do you say?"
45582What made the safety valve get out of order?"
45582What time is it now?"
45582What you howling about?"
45582What''s the use of going hunting again?"
45582What''s your name?"
45582What''s yours?"
45582When?"
45582Where will you head for?"
45582Where?"
45582Why ca n''t you?"
45582Why did I miss?"
45582Why did n''t you say something about this before?"
45582Why do n''t some of the rest of you think up something?
45582Why?"
45582Will you come?"
45582Will you do that?"
45582Will you go?"
45582Will you promise?"
45582Wonder what he can be doing out here?
45582Would he come up alone, or would he bring Dock with him?
45582Would n''t you like to go for a row?"
45582Would you boys like to see it tried?"
45582You would steal der evidence of your countrymen''s cowardice, vould you?
45582You''ve got a gun, have n''t you?"
45582but I wonder what we''ll do all that time?"
45582but what is it?"
45582but who would have expected to meet Jerry Chowden out here?
45582exclaimed Jack,"have I got to do everything around this school?
45582he called to a group of men on the back platform of the last car,"give him the whistle signal, will you?"
45582he exclaimed,"why did n''t we think of it before?
45582went on Nat,"and the first verse is something like this----""Aw, cheese it, will you?"
41172''Am I not thy mother?'' 41172 ''But, at any rate, you believe that he approves the step you are now taking?''
41172''Has my father sent you to me?'' 41172 ''I consent,''I said,''but I presume you do not intend to do me a gratuitous service, whatever its nature may be?''
41172''Return to the hacienda?'' 41172 ''Why do you not answer me, my child?''
41172''Why so?'' 41172 ''Yes, I am he,''I answered,''but what is your name?
41172A friend of mine?
41172A long time ago, I presume?
41172Ah, ah,said Fray Antonio with a laugh:"what do you think of that, No Ruperto?
41172Ah, ah,the old man said,"then you wish your friends to surprise us?"
41172Alarmed?
41172Alas, mother,he said, in a hollow voice,"can I ever forget that I have been a gambler, assassin, and incendiary?"
41172All of which means?
41172All the better; and who are your comrades?
41172Am I not a woman?
41172Am I not?
41172And did you accept?
41172And do you fancy we shall be satisfied with it?
41172And do you suspect nobody?
41172And have they accepted it?
41172And it was?
41172And my brother has discovered the trail, which I merely indicated to him?
41172And suppose I have?
41172And that man is?
41172And what is it?
41172And what would you do in my place?
41172And who gave the order?
41172And you have been whipped?
41172And your strength?
41172Answer,the sorcerer continued imperiously;"have you abandoned your brothers?"
41172Any news?
41172Are the Gazelle and the American girl in the grotto?
41172Are you desirous of knowing?
41172Are you not my father''s enemy?
41172Are you quite sure of it?
41172Are you still afraid?
41172At once, if you will be good enough to tell me who you are and where we are going?
41172Bad news?
41172Before all these persons?
41172Before all, General,the Colonel remarked,"do you know our position?"
41172Better still; then Sonora and Texas, for instance, are free States, and able to separate from the Confederation, if they think proper?
41172Blue- fox is a traitor who has sold his people,the Indian continued with some animation;"what can be hoped from such a man?
41172Blue- fox?
41172But are you not afraid,Loyal Heart observed,"lest Blue- fox has warned his comrades that their tricks are discovered?"
41172But are you not coming in, Jaguar? 41172 But he is leading a second; do you intend to accompany me beyond the advanced posts?"
41172But his name, my dear General?
41172But how did you arrive here so opportunely?
41172But in what way?
41172But our horses?
41172But the reason, the reason?
41172But what is the matter?
41172But what is to be done to obtain the result we desire as much as you do?
41172But who saved them, then? 41172 But why did not you come straight to our encampment, if you were seeking us, as you say?"
41172But, in that case, we shall be compelled to treat with these scoundrels?
41172But, supposing it were so?
41172By what right do you give me that order?
41172By whom, then?
41172Can it be true?
41172Can my brother do so?
41172Canarios, and how do you suppose it concerns me?
41172Capital reasoning; and what do you propose doing now?
41172Captain Saldana,the General asked,"is all ready?"
41172Caramba,said the General,"is it so late as that already?
41172Certainly; still----"Still,the stranger interrupted,"you would have had no objection to prowl a little longer round the rancho, I presume?"
41172Did you come solely to tell me that?
41172Did you not read his signature?
41172Did you not tell me that you were deputed to me by the rebel army, in order to submit certain propositions?
41172Do not be frightened, I am not fond of chattering; how much do you offer me for my cuadrilla?
41172Do not pity her, but rejoice, on the contrary, that she fell into my hands; who knows what might have happened with anyone else?
41172Do so,the Jaguar answered;"who are they?"
41172Do you feel a friendship for him?
41172Do you feel better?
41172Do you hope to get us out of this scrape?
41172Do you imagine I would have done it?
41172Do you intend to lead us to your camp tonight?
41172Do you intend, my dear Colonel,the American asked,"to honour me with your charming society any longer?"
41172Do you know him?
41172Do you not find the spot where we are admirably adapted for what we have to do?
41172Do you not think the departure of so large a party may arouse the suspicions of Blue- fox, who is doubtless prowling about the neighbourhood?
41172Do you really wish for my advice, General?
41172Do you regard me as an envoy, or merely as your prisoner?
41172Do you require our help?
41172Do you take your rifle?
41172Do you think it necessary?
41172Do you think so?
41172Do you wish him to come in?
41172Does Black- deer mean, then, to carry off my daughter?
41172Does my brother take us for children, that he says such things to us?
41172Does my son consent to remain as a hostage in the place of his father?
41172Does this honour go so far as to compel so great a warrior as my brother to watch over my sleep?
41172First- rate; but suppose we miss? 41172 For what good object, sir?"
41172For what good, as my brother was coming?
41172For what object?
41172For what reason?
41172For what reason?
41172From me?
41172General,said an aide- de- camp, as he opened the door,"Colonel Melendez asks whether you will deign to receive him, in spite of the late hour?"
41172Good, the Wacondah has received them into the happy hunting grounds; have their squaws bewailed them?
41172Good,John Davis interrupted;"but what motive urged you to take the present step?"
41172Good,said the sorcerer;"how many warriors have fallen?"
41172Hang it, did you have such a bad opinion of me? 41172 Has the battle really taken place?"
41172Has your Excellency carefully reflected on the order you have done me the honour to give me?
41172Have all the detachments returned?
41172Have we arrived?
41172Have you not a certain affair to settle with the White Scalper, or have you forgotten it?
41172Have you summoned him?
41172He has this instant arrived, General; can he come in?
41172He is a pretty scamp, I think?
41172His name? 41172 How could I know anything?
41172How could I perform this journey in my present state of weakness and prostration?
41172How did they die?
41172How do you know that?
41172How does that concern you, Colonel; am I not free?
41172How is it that as you hate this man so deeply, you have not killed him yourself, as there could have been no lack of opportunity?
41172How long will the Chief remain absent?
41172How much do you want for that?
41172How on earth did you manage to unsaddle him so cleverly?
41172How so, Chief?
41172How so?
41172How, nothing?
41172I am going to the council of the Chiefs, will you accompany me?
41172I angry with you?
41172I hope you have men enough?
41172I know it,he said,"And my son accepts?"
41172I speak the truth, and my brother is well aware of it,Black- deer answered;"why should we thus try to deceive each other?
41172I-- I?
41172I? 41172 I?"
41172In that case,said the sorcerer,"my son is satisfied?"
41172In what way shall I bring you the person''s answer?
41172In what way? 41172 Is Colonel Melendez here?"
41172Is he a brave?
41172Is he here?
41172Is his medicine good?
41172Is it not? 41172 Is it you, then?"
41172Is my brother ready?
41172Is my brother willing to speak before my friends the pale hunters?
41172Is my father satisfied?
41172Is that all you desire to know?
41172Is that all?
41172Is the Fort of the Point still in the hands of our friends?
41172Is the misfortune irreparable, then?
41172It is impossible,Loyal Heart said;"did he not surrender himself as a hostage?
41172Many of our Chiefs, I presume, have fallen, or are in the hands of the enemy?
41172Master Davis,the Colonel said, raising his voice,"have you forgotten the last conversation we had together?"
41172More than you fancy; do you not wish me to tell you the name of the man who protected and eventually saved Doña Carmela?
41172My brother has heard,Black- deer continued;"has he any remark to make?"
41172My brother has seen the Apaches?
41172My brother is still very young, his life only counts spring seasons, does he not regret losing it?
41172My brother, Running- elk, is a renowned Chief and great brave,he said to him in a gentle voice;"what is he thinking of at this moment?"
41172My friend,Carmela said to the hunter,"you, whom I no longer dare to call my father, what do you order me to do in the presence of this corpse?"
41172My son knows that if his father does not come to liberate his pledge, he will die in his place?
41172Nearly so, for of course you have received no news of----?
41172News of whom?
41172Next?
41172No determination was formed, no answer given the Envoy?
41172No,he said;"I merely feel a repugnance to mingle again with white men, and-- shall I confess it?
41172Nonsense, sir,the General continued, with a shrug of his shoulders,"why, you must be mad?
41172Nonsense,Loyal Heart replied,"it will be welcome, for are we not accustomed to danger?"
41172Of Carmela?
41172Of Carmela?
41172Of course; do you think I would have received him else? 41172 Oh, oh, what does that mean?"
41172Oh, what I have to say to you will not take long; I only wish to ask you to lay a final hand to a work for which you have already striven?
41172Oh, you recognise it now?
41172Oh, you will surely grant me a few moments, Master Davis?
41172Oh,the Canadian suddenly said,"whom have we here?
41172On what conditions do you offer me all these advantages?
41172One moment,Blackbird objected;"of what does this ransom consist?"
41172One moment,the old merchant said, quite appalled by the approach of death;"are there no means of settling this business, General?"
41172Shall we be off?
41172Shall we go?
41172Shall we not take our comrades with us?
41172She is but a coquettish child,he murmured in a low voice;"has she a heart?"
41172So that----?
41172So that--?
41172Stay,the young man continued;"do we understand each other?
41172Still, General,he urged,"I should have desired--""What?"
41172Still----?
41172Thanks; but what are you doing there?
41172That is just the point that staggers me; how could an Apache venture to the village alone?
41172That is strange,Loyal Heart muttered;"and you do not know who the Indian is?"
41172That is strange,the Colonel muttered, searching his memory;"and did he mention his name?"
41172The Sachem of the Buffalo Apaches is a great brave; what warrior of his nation can die in his stead, if he forget to liberate his pledge?
41172The White Scalper?
41172The reason is very simple; would you like to know it?
41172Then they answered him in the negative?
41172Then why do you get up?
41172Then you do not owe either the Colonel or myself any grudge?
41172Then you have been defeated?
41172Then you have made up your mind to plunge the country into anarchy?
41172Then you propose flight to me?
41172Then you propose to me to carry her off?
41172Then, he is here?
41172Then, they are both here?
41172Then, was it not you who saved them?
41172Then, why ask?
41172Then, why has my son entered without the orders of the Sachems?
41172Then, with your consent, we will dismount?
41172Then, you think that if you wished to leave this house and follow me to the camp, this man would not attempt to prevent you?
41172Then, you would shoot me?
41172There is something up we do not know; and then the signals we heard?
41172This moment,--you understand, this moment, Señor, you will confess to me, where the man is who gave you this letter, if not--"Well?
41172This time, yes, it is all,the young man answered;"now what do you think of this epistle?"
41172To death?
41172To parley with me?
41172To whom do you say that, Don Lionel? 41172 Very good, what have they resolved?"
41172Was it not? 41172 We have to perform the commission Black- deer entrusted to us; are you still of a mind to help me?"
41172Well, I greeted him as a brother and gave him the best I had; do you know what he did?
41172Well, Tranquil,he said to him,"how do you find yourself?"
41172Well, and now?
41172Well, and what then?
41172Well, what matter?
41172Well, why did you not do it?
41172Well,Loyal Heart asked,"are you ready?"
41172Well,he said to him,"and what are you going to do?"
41172Well,the American muttered,"what did you, so soon as the men left you alone?"
41172Well; is it a kingdom or an empire?
41172Well?
41172Well?
41172Well?
41172What about?
41172What are they?
41172What are we to do now, Chief?
41172What are you doing?
41172What can I care, do you ask?
41172What can I do? 41172 What can we do?
41172What do I care?
41172What do I want?
41172What do you mean by, well?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you say? 41172 What do you want here?"
41172What do you want with me?
41172What do you want with me?
41172What do you want, Ruperto?
41172What do you want?
41172What do you want?
41172What does it concern me? 41172 What does it matter to you?"
41172What does my brother mean?
41172What does my brother propose?
41172What does this mean?
41172What for? 41172 What for?"
41172What good is it at this moment? 41172 What has happened, then, during that period?"
41172What has he done?
41172What have you to tell me more terrible than what you have just said?
41172What is Blue- fox doing here?
41172What is happening, pray?
41172What is he driving at?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is the matter now?
41172What is the matter then?
41172What is the matter, Chief?
41172What is the matter? 41172 What is the matter?"
41172What is the matter?
41172What is the matter?
41172What is the matter?
41172What is the meaning of this, General?
41172What is the ransom? 41172 What is the use of threatening me, General?
41172What is this, Caballeros?
41172What is to be done, then?
41172What is to be done?
41172What is to be done?
41172What is up, then?
41172What matter, if you answer for him?
41172What matter?
41172What need for me to tell you what has occurred? 41172 What other motive could I have, Master Sandoval?
41172What prevents your doing so? 41172 What prisoner?"
41172What to do? 41172 What was it?"
41172What was its nature?
41172What were you doing concealed in the grass?
41172What would you have?
41172What would you, Colonel? 41172 What!--mean it?
41172What, Black- deer?
41172What, arrived?
41172What, do you not recognise the Jaguar?
41172What? 41172 What?"
41172What?
41172What?
41172When shall we return?
41172Whence comes the anxiety I see on your features? 41172 Where are my brothers going?"
41172Where has he halted?
41172Where is Tranquil?
41172Where shall we place ourselves?
41172Where should I be if I was not?
41172Whether General Rubio is really satisfied with the plan I submitted to him?
41172Which means that you are convinced?
41172Which means?
41172Which means?
41172Which means?
41172While now----?
41172Who are the Pale men who thus enter as friends the atepetl of the Antelope Comanches?
41172Who are you, and what do you want?
41172Who can answer for the future?
41172Who cares for me?
41172Who is that man?
41172Who is the man who gave you this letter?
41172Who is the warrior?
41172Who knows--_¿quién sabe?_ as we Spanish Americans say,the young man replied with a smile.
41172Who knows? 41172 Who knows?"
41172Who knows?
41172Who the deuce could have told you that nonsense?
41172Who the deuce have you brought us?
41172Who''s there?
41172Who''s there?
41172Why ask that question at this moment?
41172Why did you make me a prisoner, then?
41172Why did you not show yourselves sooner?
41172Why do you not go, as I advised you to do?
41172Why has not the Black- deer accompanied our brother the great Brave of the tribe?
41172Why not? 41172 Why not?
41172Why not?
41172Why not?
41172Why not?
41172Why play with the butt of your pistol so? 41172 Why put yourself to trouble for me?"
41172Why shall I not?
41172Why should I regret it? 41172 Why should I tell you what has passed?
41172Why should the head ever do injustice to the heart?
41172Why so? 41172 Why so?"
41172Why so?
41172Why so?
41172Why so?
41172Why so?
41172Why this question, whose purport I do not understand?
41172Why, it is impossible, my friend; how could we have received any? 41172 Why, supposing that it is a trap, what will be the result of it?"
41172Why, what prevents you?
41172Why,the Colonel continued,"refuse to listen to the propositions this man is authorized to offer you?"
41172Will my father bear witness to that?
41172Will you defend yourself; yes or no?
41172Will you let me ask you a question?
41172Will you not take the hand I offer you?
41172Will you refuse?
41172Will you see the Colonel?
41172Would it not be better to mount, gallop into the plain that stretches out before us, and settle the affair at once?
41172Yes, am I not? 41172 Yes, but why are you so?
41172You admit,the other said, with his old stoicism,"that I am seeking no unworthy subterfuge to avoid a meeting with you?"
41172You are in earnest, then?
41172You are mad,said Davis, with a shrug of his shoulders;"what strange idea is this of yours to insist on killing me?"
41172You are right, my friend; may Heaven grant that it is so; but how did it all happen?
41172You are the aide- de- camp of the President General of the Republic?
41172You do not believe me? 41172 You have a proof of it before you; if he were not so, should I be here?"
41172You will come with me, I suppose, Tranquil?
41172You wish to know?
41172You, my friend?
41172Your countrymen?
41172Your price is reasonable; but how can we communicate?
41172[ 1]Who knows?"
41172_ ¿ Qué gente?_"Texas.
41172About what, pray?
41172Am I mistaken?
41172Am I not under the safeguard of your honour?"
41172And does my brother intend to carry off the woman he loves this night?"
41172And does the maiden recognise the sound of my brother''s war whistle, and run joyfully to the meeting the Chief grants her?
41172And now, what is your second reason?"
41172And what about, pray?"
41172And what, in your opinion, ought I to do?"
41172And who is the Chief that marches at their head?"
41172And who is the brave that has made them prisoners?
41172And would it be indiscreet to ask its nature?"
41172And,"turning to his auditors, who had remained silent and motionless since their entrance, he asked them,"and you, Señores, what do you think of it?"
41172Any resistance was impossible-- for what could he have done alone, merely armed with a sabre, against twenty individuals?
41172Are my brothers listening?"
41172Are there more of you inside?"
41172Are they desirous of exchanging their lances and guns for weavers''shuttles?
41172Are they tired of being redoubtable warriors?
41172Are we going to make any expedition?"
41172Are you disposed to answer our questions?"
41172Are you not returning to Galveston?"
41172Are you not, in a word, Loyal Heart, that is to say, the man whose decisions have the strength of law, whom all, friends and enemies, love and esteem?
41172Assuredly, he feared no personal danger; what did he care for an attack?
41172At length, by a movement that was familiar to him, he threw back his curls, and addressed Ruperto--"Halloh, gossip,"he said,"you here?
41172Bounding Fawn will prepare the venison for the Chief; what does my brother think of it?"
41172But do you fear any trap?
41172But has the Chief assured himself as to Bounding Fawn''s feelings?"
41172But how does it concern us?
41172But let us return to our business: what do you want with me?"
41172But now good bye, Señores, when will you give me a definite answer?"
41172But tell me, old hunter, have you consulted with our friend on the matter that brings me here?"
41172But what is to be done?
41172But what matter?
41172But with whom had the advantage remained?
41172By Carmela?"
41172Carmela exclaimed;"you turn pale and totter: are you wounded?"
41172Could I marry all the squaws whom my tomahawk has rendered widows, or give you back the numerous scalps I have raised?
41172Davis said, as he uncocked his pistol,"why, what is the meaning of this?"
41172Did he not pledge his word?
41172Did the Jaguar know that he had killed his father, or was it his despair at seeing his love despised by Carmela, that determined him to seek death?
41172Do I know who you are?
41172Do I recognize the right of the persons from whom you come to send me a flag of truce?
41172Do all these acts of imprudence committed purposely teach you nothing?"
41172Do they wish to put on women''s petticoats?
41172Do you dare to place your love for a woman and your devotion to the country on the same level?
41172Do you know what he did, so soon as he obtained power?"
41172Do you really intend to depart?"
41172Do you see that boat tossing about at the foot of the cliff?"
41172Do you still consider you are not my equal?"
41172Do you think, then,"he added, with some bitterness,"that because we are outlawed bandits we have stifled every generous feeling in our hearts?
41172Does he prefer fastening them to the stake of torture?"
41172Does that suit you?"
41172Does what I have said please my brother?"
41172Each of you will give me a thousand piastres; it is not too much, I suppose, to guarantee the security of your money and goods?
41172Has he paid a fine ransom?"
41172Has my brother warned the Chiefs?"
41172Have I spoken well?
41172Have you any alfalfa for our horses in your cabin?"
41172Heavens, since I am condemned to be your slave, could you not at any rate allow me the free enjoyment of this room?"
41172Hence your losses are limited to men and arms?"
41172How could I feel angry with you?
41172I could have sworn it,"the young man said impetuously;"why can not I thank him?"
41172I exclaimed, with joyous surprise,''Do you consent to remain with me?''
41172I fancy your dead man is coming to life again, eh?"
41172I gave way to a feeling of immense joy; when our transports were somewhat calmed, my mother said to me--"''And now, what do you intend doing?
41172I have spoken; have I said right, powerful Chiefs?"
41172I presume you have had a serious conversation with him?"
41172If not, what would be the use of fighting?"
41172In what age are we living, then, that rebels dare to treat on equal terms with the government against which they have revolted?
41172In what direction have they fled?
41172Is it all you wish to know?"
41172Is there not something grand and noble in their haughty and indomitable character?
41172It seems that he is fixed?"
41172John Davis continued, with feigned disappointment,"shall we part already?"
41172John Davis exclaimed, in surprise:"How could we have received any news?
41172Just look at our camp-- do people guard themselves in this way on the desert?
41172Loyal Heart and Black- deer, however, had lost none of their calmness; they hoped then, still, but what was it they expected?
41172May I hope that you have spoken to him of me in sufficient favourable terms for him to grant me a kind reception?"
41172May I venture to hope you will pardon me?"
41172Must not your heart fly straight to your father?"
41172My brother will see,"and turning to the Sachems, who stood motionless and silent a few paces off, the Chief added;"when will this warrior die?"
41172My friend, when you have crawled far enough like a snake, I suppose you will get up?"
41172My warriors are at their post, only awaiting the signal to begin the contest; do my Pale brothers still intend to accompany us?"
41172Now that we have met, I hope you will come to our camp?"
41172Now, what does the Chief wish to ask of me?
41172Of what was the poor girl thinking, while the tears she did not dream of wiping away, coursed down her pallid cheeks, where they traced a furrow?
41172On what subject?"
41172Only that?"
41172Sandoval shouted, striking the table with his fist;"Shall we let him escape?
41172Shall I ever find again a friend so certain and so devoted?"
41172Stay, one word more; one of us must remain on the ground, I suppose?"
41172The American stifled an oath, and mounted again, but suddenly reflecting, he asked,"And who may you be, who thus pretend to dictate to me?"
41172The Jaguar felt an enormous inclination to leap on the sentry and throttle him; but supposing it were a friend?
41172The Sachem nodded in affirmation,"Does my brother Loyal Heart wish to learn what happened at the Council after his departure?"
41172The question seems to me somewhat simple; I suppose you think the hour and place well chosen for a joke?"
41172The young man heard him, and turning to him, said--?
41172Then we are going to see some sport?"
41172Then you are not a flag of truce?"
41172Then you are very desirous that I should not come to life again?"
41172Then, you have come on your own accord, nothing compelling you to do so?"
41172This is the only chance left us to finish with this implacable enemy-- do you accept it?"
41172This time she shall not escape me;''is that clear, eh?"
41172Tonight, for instance, were the Chief to call her, would she rise from her bed to obey his summons?"
41172Was the Chief really asleep?
41172We shall return to the hacienda, shall we not?
41172Well, now,"he added, with an accent of sad and bitter raillery,"do you still fancy yourself unworthy of my friendship?
41172What I ask you is, whether, since Carmela went to, Galveston, you have received any news of her?"
41172What alarm did he feel about dying?
41172What are we to do now?"
41172What can you care for any opinion I may have, which is isolated and unimportant?"
41172What does he want?"
41172What does the President mean by sending us this gold plumaged springald, to make us lose all the profits of the victory?"
41172What had become of him?
41172What had occurred during this lengthened interview?
41172What has become of my brothers?
41172What has brought you into our parts?"
41172What have you to answer to that?"
41172What is Mexico?"
41172What is the magic influence exerted on humanity by this extraordinary man?
41172What is to be done?"
41172What means have we to prevent it?
41172What more do you want?"
41172What motive brings Loyal Heart to Blackbird with so large a party, when the heart of the Chief is sad, and a cloud has spread over his mind?"
41172What name did you pronounce?"
41172What new misfortune have you to announce?"
41172What next?"
41172What terrible drama could have been performed at this spot?
41172What the deuce should I do here during your absence?
41172What will the Chief do to insure his word, and that the Comanche Sachems may put faith in what he says?"
41172Whatever may happen, I trust in you as in God; will you fail me?
41172When do we start?"
41172Where is it?"
41172Where is the President at this moment?"
41172Where shall I find Carmela and Tranquil again?"
41172Where were Tranquil and Lanzi, the Jaguar and Colonel Melendez?
41172Who are you?''
41172Who can say whether the Deity, in permitting this great expiation, may not have secret designs with me?
41172Who is the man I saw at the rancho, and to whom the persons with him gave the name of Don Benito?"
41172Who were the persons at this moment in the house-- were they friends or foes?
41172Why did he carry off my child?"
41172Why did he not remain in Mexico?
41172Why has he not taken their scalps?
41172Why keep secret from them a thing I should be forced to tell them, perhaps tomorrow?"
41172Why should they ally themselves with the Apache thieves?
41172Why should they league with their most obstinate enemies against men who are fighting to obtain their liberty?
41172Why this pallor, my friend, this restlessness I see in your eyes?"
41172Will you accompany us, Tranquil?
41172Will you go there?
41172Will you not sit down?"
41172Will you promise me this?"
41172Will you promise to answer me this question?"
41172With the Mexicans or the Texans?
41172Would you be capable of firing in your own defence, without leaving the cart?"
41172Would you like to know the contents?"
41172You allow this, I suppose?"
41172You are not angry with me, I trust?"
41172You heard, Captain?"
41172You will go?"
41172and why not, if you please?"
41172he continued,"If the sun never dies, how can the great pale Chief be dead, who is the son of that planet?"
41172he exclaimed with the utmost surprise,"Did not this man carry you off?"
41172he had said,"I have but a few moments to live; who will protect you when I am gone?"
41172he replied, sadly,"Why should I be so, by what right?
41172he said,"Then it is you, my master?"
41172he said,"Then you know it?"
41172he said;"How comes it that you are all here waiting for me?
41172he shouted,"Are you there, Orson?"
41172said Black- deer with a degree of surprise he could not entirely conceal;"How then did they enter the village?"
41172said Fray Antonio,"Then you really mean it?"
41172she exclaimed, bounding up like a lioness;"What did you say, Señor?
41172she muttered, and then, striving to recover herself, she asked,"What do you want with me, señor?
41172she said to him, with that little pouting air which she could assume if necessary, and which suited her so well;"What has become of you, deserter?
41172the American exclaimed as he gave a start of terror,"Are you dead?"
41172the American muttered;"Is that all?"
41172the Captain said, laughingly,"Did you not tell me, when I met you this evening, that you were sent to me by Fray Antonio?"
41172the Colonel exclaimed, in surprise,"Does your Excellency intend to confer with him in the presence of witnesses?"
41172the General answered, sharply;"did you not hear what was said in this room?
41172the General exclaimed, with an angry frown,"Is that the way you venture to act?
41172the General replied, biting his moustache with an ironical air,"Is he there, then?"
41172the Indian said, turning to the horsemen who accompanied him,"My brothers have heard: what do they say?"
41172the Jaguar exclaimed with some violence;"Are not these brave lads our friends, faithful and devoted friends?
41172the Jaguar muttered;"Whither shall I go?
41172the latter replied, in surprise;"Who are you that you know me so well?"
41172the latter said in surprise,"who are you, that you know me so well?"
41172the other continued, with considerable animation,"I have allowed you to speak, have I not?
41172the other replied;"Did you doubt it?
41172the wounded man exclaimed,"My heart did not deceive me, then?"
41172the wounded man replied;"you, her father?"
41172they cried in terror,"Can we have fallen into a trap?"
41172your friend?"
40262''I''ve come down regeler every day For twenty years to Piper''s store; I''ve sot here in a patient way, Say, hain''t I, Piper?'' 40262 A letter from him?"
40262A miner?
40262A ministerial- looking gentleman who called himself Felton Cleveland, eh?
40262All armed?
40262And do you propose to prance out there and let them shoot you up, too? 40262 And if you find other men on the claim, what will you do?"
40262And in a difficult country as to access?
40262And is it yet time?
40262And is it you?
40262And is there any reason why I should not? 40262 And now,"said Frank,"if this feud were ended, if any offense of his were pardoned, could he not claim his property?"
40262And so the rheumatism and cold weather drove you south, eh?
40262And the one you speak of-- the one who was compelled to flee from the country-- was he wealthy?
40262And this new claim of yours is inconveniently located at a distance from any railway town?
40262And you did n''t find him?
40262And you have them in operation?
40262And you were not on your way to Flagstaff to meet Dick Merriwell there?
40262And you will drop it?
40262And you would have no objections to that, of course?
40262Any trouble in regard to the new mine?
40262Anything serious the matter?
40262Are we to have nothing? 40262 Are you certain that''sta.y''comes into it?"
40262Are you hurt, Merry?
40262Are you serious about this fellow, cap''n?
40262Are you sure this is straight goods?
40262Are you?
40262As valuable as this one?
40262But Abe, Dick-- Abe?
40262But are n''t you going back with us to the Mazatzals?
40262But are you sure, Abe-- are you sure we''re taking the right course?
40262But ca n''t we take her?
40262But do you mean to tell me,said Wiley,"that you are not an admirer of the manly art of self- defense?
40262But how can it be done-- how can it be done?
40262But how did you happen to have such prisoners in the first place?
40262But how was it? 40262 But if you were living on a ranch down on the Rio Verde, how did you happen to be in Prescott when Frank Merriwell was there?"
40262But now, Frank-- what are we to do?
40262But now-- now?
40262But tell me,urged Dick,"how you came to have those men as prisoners?"
40262But what could I do with him? 40262 But what do you think has happened to her?
40262But what if we should miss Dick? 40262 But wherever is Dick''s horse?"
40262But you do n''t go alone, I judge? 40262 But you were followed?"
40262Can they descend that way?
40262Can you tell me where to find him?
40262Clark? 40262 Colvin, do you know anybody in Prescott?"
40262Costola?
40262Did it amuse you so much to see me take my regular morning plunge? 40262 Did n''t we say it was?"
40262Did n''t yer git yer little present?
40262Did they see me do it?
40262Did you ever hear of Benson Clark?
40262Did you hit him?
40262Did you know that you left a pistol with your name upon it in a hotel where you stopped in Snowflake?
40262Did you low- born whelps think that Cap''n Wiley would go back on his old side pard, Frank Merriwell? 40262 Did you, indeed?"
40262Do n''t you know?
40262Do you allow, Dillon,he finally heard Mat say,"that Dan will stick to his little plan to hold up that train?"
40262Do you believe, Frank, that it is their scheme?
40262Do you dare say to my face that I cheat?
40262Do you fancy that there is a possibility that he might be induced to sell in case the offer seemed an advantageous one?
40262Do you hear me, Frank Merriwell?
40262Do you know where Frank is now? 40262 Do you mean that he was n''t hurt, Joe?"
40262Do you mean that you''re not going with us?
40262Do you notice anything peculiar about that letter?
40262Do you propose to remain here all night, Merry?
40262Do you remember of hearing him answer any to your calls after you had passed through those woods?
40262Do you suppose, mates, that the spook of Benson Clark is lingering in this vicinity?
40262Do you suppose,asked Hodge, in consternation,"that there are other parties searching for that mine?"
40262Do you think she is prepared to endure the hardships she would be compelled to face? 40262 Do you think, Frank,"he questioned,"that there is any hope of finding Felicia here?
40262Does we git it sure?
40262Ef he is so fur, however is it you expects ter find him in a hurry?
40262Father,he said,"who were those men, and how came they to be here?"
40262Felicia,questioned Frank huskily;"what of her?"
40262Frank him not here?
40262From your words,returned Merry,"I should fancy you had been looking for me for some time?"
40262Going to Flagstaff to meet Frank Merriwell''s brother, did you say?
40262Gone-- where?
40262Have we not suffered indignities enough? 40262 Have you a pack of cards?"
40262Have you discovered anything?
40262Have you made your will? 40262 Have you not been satisfied in the past?"
40262Have you noticed a certain old Injun in this bunch sence we started out?
40262Have you seen him lately?
40262Have you thought of Felicia? 40262 He is safe?"
40262He is younger?
40262He was with the gang that cut loose your prisoners, was he? 40262 He went out with you?"
40262Hey?
40262His brother? 40262 His brother?"
40262His cousin, eh?
40262How am I going to rescue him,said Merry,"when I do n''t know where to find him?"
40262How am I to believe you?
40262How are you hitting her, Bill?
40262How can we depend on a fellow who sleeps at his post when on guard?
40262How could a ship come bearing down upon you with no wind to sail by?
40262How did he make the discovery?
40262How did you happen to come?
40262How did you happen to know this Dick Merriwell?
40262How do you do, sir?
40262How do you make that out?
40262How do you think the trick was done?
40262How does it git there?
40262How does it happen that there are children in this wretched region?
40262How does we settle who does it?
40262How far is this mine from the nearest railroad point?
40262How know you so much?
40262How many men do you think there are in this plot?
40262How silently?
40262How so?
40262Howdy, Dan?
40262I am now; but old Joe Crowfoot----"Crowfoot-- what of him?
40262I believe this valley is the one,Merry declared;"but how are we going to get into it?
40262I must stay near by, must n''t I?
40262I presume you would consider this engagement ended in case you fail to put me down and out in short order?
40262I suppose you are Mr. Frank Merriwell?
40262I wonder how he gits onter it that anything''s up?
40262If I has n''t offended your highness,said the man who had asked the question,"perhaps you tells me now where this Dick Merriwell is?"
40262If I were to make you an offer for your property, on being satisfied with it as something I want,he said,"would you consider it?"
40262If these men are bad men,she said,"wo n''t they harm Dick some way?"
40262If you were the one whipped, you would call all dealings off?
40262Indeed?
40262Is he dead, Frank?
40262Is he home?
40262Is he like you?
40262Is it Choctaw or Chinese?
40262Is it luck you call it?
40262Is it possible to cross the desert?
40262Is it possible? 40262 Is that so?"
40262Is that so?
40262Is that so?
40262Is that true?
40262Is that you, Curry?
40262Is there any chance for us to escape?
40262Is this new Joaquin endeavoring to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor?
40262Is this the road, Buckhart?
40262Is this the way you are to be trusted? 40262 It appears that I have given you considerable trouble?"
40262It seems that Hodge trusts you?
40262Leave me behind when there''s a ruction brewing? 40262 Look a here, Mr. Merriwell,"he said,"do yer know who yer dealing with in this yere piece of business?"
40262Mebbe you hurries right along? 40262 Mebbe you pull up stake and lope?"
40262Mebbe you tells me who is the boss?
40262Morgan,called Merry,"can you hear me?"
40262My dear child,he said,"why do you shed these foolish tears?"
40262My son, is all this true?
40262Not Macklyn Morgan?
40262Now we bids you a pleasant good night, and we hopes you sleeps sweet and dreams agreeable dreams-- eh, Mat?
40262Now, what do yer think of that?
40262Now, what will you do, Macklyn Morgan?
40262Now, who is it what watches you so closelike?
40262Oh, that is the way yer does it, is it?
40262Oh, that''s it?
40262Oh, where is he? 40262 Oh, yer does, does yer?"
40262Old Joe down there with those men?
40262On what inducements?
40262Only that?
40262Peculiar? 40262 Perhaps you have a better one, Shawmut?
40262Rheumatism troubles you again?
40262Ropes?
40262Say you so? 40262 Say you so?"
40262See here,said Kip, stopping short,"how do you happen to know so much about this?"
40262Sleeping at your post, are you?
40262So it is for that stuff you sell your friends, is it?
40262So it''s you?
40262So they did n''t kill you outright, did they?
40262So you are also the cousin of Frank Merriwell?
40262So you two fine chaps takes water?
40262That is the Queen Mystery, I believe?
40262That?
40262The Americans,questioned Carlos,"what of them?"
40262Then he has a brother, has he? 40262 Then he is somewhere yereabouts?"
40262Then it was n''t quite true?
40262Then what was the meaning of your threat to expose his mining operations?
40262Then what''s eating of yer?
40262Then where is he?
40262Then you believe there is a cipher in it, do you?
40262Then you have heard of it, sir?
40262Then you intend to play baseball again, do you, cap''n?
40262Then you know what has become of him?
40262Then you raced through a piece of woods, did you?
40262Then, why is n''t he here?
40262Think?
40262This boy is your brother?
40262This is the one Felicia told us to take, is n''t it?
40262Those men-- those men who have been released----"What of them?
40262Those ruffians?
40262Tried to force you to give up the Queen Mystery, did he?
40262Trying to jump a claim?
40262Was it Indians, do you think?
40262Was it carelessness?
40262Was that what you fired at?
40262We take all the risks, and what do we get? 40262 We will give these poor fellows decent burial, and after that----""After that-- what?"
40262We? 40262 Well, Colvin, you are from the Enchanted Valley?"
40262Well, I opines you has cooked yer man afore this?
40262Well, how does it look to you?
40262Well, however does he happen to be hiring men for this yere mine? 40262 Well, partner, if I tells you, does you opine you''re ready to stick by me?"
40262Well, what do yer think o''this game, Dug?
40262Well, what do you make of that, Merry?
40262Well, what do you think of that?
40262Well, what do you think of that?
40262Well, what''s to be done, Merry?
40262Well, whatever was the varmint trying to do?
40262Well, you do n''t suppose I''d let them drive me out, do you?
40262Well,said Merry, having discovered the cap''n''s condition,"I presume now you will return with us to the Mazatzals?"
40262Wha- a- at?
40262Whar are they?
40262What ails ye, drat yer?
40262What are we to do, Frank?
40262What are you doing? 40262 What are you going to do?"
40262What are you prowling around yere for, you old vagrant?
40262What are you talking about?
40262What behold you, mate?
40262What can you do in the night?
40262What did you say?
40262What do I think of it?
40262What do ye here, my son?
40262What do yer think of that, partner? 40262 What do you get, Joe?"
40262What do you propose to do?
40262What do you suppose has happened?
40262What do you think about it now?
40262What do you think about the horses?
40262What do you want me to write?
40262What does it mean?
40262What does yer know about him, pard?
40262What has become of him?
40262What has brought about this sudden change on your part?
40262What have you found?
40262What if some one should offer you a prominent position at a salary of ten thousand a year where you would be unable to play baseball?
40262What in blazes does you mean?
40262What in the name of all mysteries are you doing, Crowfoot?
40262What in thunder are you doing here?
40262What is it all about?
40262What is it that does n''t seem possible?
40262What is it, Brad?
40262What is it, Felicia?
40262What is it, Frank?
40262What is it?
40262What is it?
40262What is money?
40262What is now, Frank?
40262What is the meaning of this?
40262What is the meaning of this?
40262What is the mission''s income?
40262What is this we finds? 40262 What is this?"
40262What is your next low trick, Morgan?
40262What matters it, Pachuca?
40262What new game are you up to, Mr. Morgan? 40262 What of him?"
40262What sort of men are they?
40262What the dickens could have brought him here at this time?
40262What the dickens is he up to?
40262What then? 40262 What was that?"
40262What will Dick think when he finds us gone?
40262What will be their next move?
40262What will we do about this business, Merry?
40262What will you do?
40262What would you do?
40262What''s that to me? 40262 What''s that?"
40262What''s that?
40262What''s that?
40262What''s that?
40262What''s that?
40262What''s that?
40262What''s the matter, Abe?
40262What''s the matter, Abe?
40262What''s the matter, Crowfoot?
40262What''s the matter, Frank?
40262What''s the matter, pard?
40262What''s the matter, pard?
40262What''s the meaning of this great agitation by which you seek to overthrow my corporosity?
40262What''s the trouble there?
40262What''s this jargon?
40262What''s this strange thing, Felicia? 40262 What''s to be done now?"
40262What''s up now, Brad?
40262What''s up now?
40262What''s your name?
40262What, me?
40262What, these?
40262What? 40262 What?"
40262What?
40262Whatever are you doing yere?
40262Whatever are you giving us?
40262Whatever did you expect to find?
40262Whatever does he do that fer?
40262Whatever does yer make of it, partner?
40262Whatever does yer make of that, pard Merriwell?
40262Whatever does you take us fer?
40262Whatever has you there?
40262Whatever is the matter? 40262 Whatever is the use to jump around this yere way?"
40262Whatever is this game?
40262Whatever is this he is shooting at you?
40262Whatever is this you says, mister?
40262Whatever kind of fighting does yer call this?
40262Whatever was yer talking about, Wiley?
40262Whatever''s up now?
40262When do you contemplate such a thing?
40262When will you learn better?
40262When?
40262Where are they now?
40262Where are those pesky stairs?
40262Where are we, Abe?
40262Where can he be?
40262Where did this yere shooting happen, Pete?
40262Where had we better camp?
40262Where have they gone, Joe?
40262Where is Brad?
40262Where is Dick?
40262Where is Felicia, Frank?
40262Where is Frank Merriwell?
40262Where is Frank?
40262Where is he, Abe?
40262Where is he? 40262 Where is he?"
40262Where is this fellow we left to guard our property?
40262Where is this yere Dick Merriwell, Hunchy?
40262Where under the stars did you drop from?
40262Where was this, if you do n''t mind giving that much information?
40262Where''s my pard?
40262Where? 40262 Wherever did we get into this hole?"
40262Who am I? 40262 Who are these new enemies you have found here?"
40262Who are they, Abe? 40262 Who are you?"
40262Who are you?
40262Who are you?
40262Who built it, Frank?
40262Who calls for me?
40262Who did it?
40262Who do you s''pose is back of this yere business, Dug?
40262Who do you suppose those men are?
40262Who does you allow is coming?
40262Who is old Joe Crowfoot?
40262Who is the parsonish gentleman?
40262Who is there? 40262 Who is your brother, kid?"
40262Who says so? 40262 Who?
40262Whoever does yer reckon is a- playing a fiddle out yere?
40262Whoever is he, anyhow?
40262Whoever is this yere?
40262Why all this uproar?
40262Why did they seek to slay you?
40262Why do n''t they sail right out here and light into us? 40262 Why do n''t yer stand up like a man and fight?
40262Why do you disturb the placid peacefulness of this pellucid morning with the ponderous pyrotechnics of your palpitating pleasure?
40262Why do you mix up in this, Wiley?
40262Why do you never talk thus to the others?
40262Why does he seem so mighty suspicious?
40262Why does n''t he sing some more, Merry?
40262Why does yer think that so brightlike? 40262 Why for do you ramble around that yere way?"
40262Why have you brought me here?
40262Why must you always have enemies?
40262Why not? 40262 Why not?
40262Why not?
40262Why not?
40262Why not?
40262Why not?
40262Why not?
40262Why should he write a letter? 40262 Why should he?
40262Why should you do that?
40262Why should you? 40262 Why this agitated haste?"
40262Why were you so particular to say,''No house shelters me?''
40262Why, have you a brother?
40262Why, whatever is this?
40262Why, you do n''t buck up agin''Bland none?
40262Why,exclaimed Henry,"you do n''t mean Mr. Merriwell, do yer?"
40262Will you do as I tell you?
40262Yes, whatever is it you''re driving at?
40262You Flank Mellowell? 40262 You ai n''t a- giving it ter me that you bucks up agin''Bland, are yer?"
40262You are making medicine for your rheumatism?
40262You are not hurt?
40262You did n''t shoot at the man on the rope?
40262You do n''t find no trace whatever of my pard, do you, Frank?
40262You do n''t know a man you can depend upon-- a good fighter who will stick by us if paid well?
40262You do n''t know? 40262 You do n''t mean to tell me that my pard let any onery horse dump him out of the saddle?
40262You do n''t think some wild animal has got him?
40262You hear the flying lizard sing? 40262 You kick no more?"
40262You live here alone, father?
40262You no chop um up some?
40262You thinks Bland is not behind it, does yer?
40262You throws up a chance to make a good thing? 40262 You were one of the men engaged by Wiley, I presume?"
40262You will find Dick, wo n''t you?
40262You?
40262You?
40262''John, old man,''says I,''what are you doing?''
40262''What were you doing at that window?''
40262''What''s it wurth?''
40262''Whatever is a- doing?''
40262''Who were you talking to?''
40262***** What had become of Felicia and little Abe?
40262--what does that stand for, Frank?"
40262And what is Frank Merriwell''s brother doing in Flagstaff?"
40262And you beat the whole bunch off, did you, Mr. Merriwell?
40262Are they pursuing us?"
40262Are you aware of the fact that Sukes was shot in the dark?
40262Are you aware that every light in the place had first been extinguished by other shots?
40262Are you certain your title to this property is clear?"
40262Are you old Joe?"
40262Are you ready to go, child?"
40262Are you willing to do so?"
40262Are you with us, or are you ready to give up?"
40262Besides that, how can I find my way to the Enchanted Valley unless guided by Wiley himself?"
40262But are n''t you alone?"
40262But even had I done so, who could say that it was not I who shot out the lights and the other man who killed Milton Sukes?"
40262But how do you know anything about it?"
40262But what are your plans now?
40262But what can I do?
40262But what of this world''s riches has my mighty intellect and my poetic soul brought me?
40262But what was I to do?
40262But what was that elongated, ear- splitting vibration that pierced the tympanum of my tingling ear?
40262But whatever are you going to do with Felicia?"
40262But why do you pretend that it is on his account you are carrying out this lawless piece of business?
40262By the way, mates, did you ever know why it was that Santos- Dumont retired from this country in confusion and dismay?
40262Can any one direct me to a tub of tanglefoot?"
40262Can not you do so?"
40262Can you do that, Abe?"
40262Can you see her in that window up there?
40262Can you tell me anything more of them?"
40262Can you tell me anything to assist in my search?"
40262Clark?
40262Dick, how did you come here?"
40262Did n''t I deceive him?
40262Did n''t I kill him?
40262Did you ever hear how I got the best of Bat Masterson?
40262Did you ever hear of Spike Riley?"
40262Did you ever hear of the Costolas?
40262Did you ever hear of the time I had heart failure in that baseball game with the Cleveland Nationals?
40262Did you hear that voice?
40262Did you know about this plot to seize the mines-- before Hodge discovered it?"
40262Did you see where the shot came from?"
40262Do n''t you think Frank will bring him here right away?"
40262Do n''t you think I may see him soon?
40262Do n''t you want to take it?"
40262Do n''t''spose I ever told you about those fleas?"
40262Do you hear?
40262Do you know how I dealt with Milton Sukes?
40262Do you let on that you''re going to disobey orders?"
40262Do you mean to tell me that you never have been concerned in any crooked schemes?
40262Do you mean to tell me that you take no interest in the prize ring and the glorious heroes of it?"
40262Do you mean to tell me that your career as a maker of millions has been unspotted?
40262Do you mean, pard, that you propose to cut me out of this yere scrimmage?
40262Do you mind showing me the report of the assayer?"
40262Do you mind telling how it happened?"
40262Do you opine we''ve got any kick coming?"
40262Do you propose to let these measly galoots wipe out the Merriwell family in a bunch?
40262Do you smoke, Mr. Merriwell?
40262Do you think I can conscientiously ignore the fact that he was murdered?"
40262Do you want me, ghost?"
40262Does yer know nothing else but jest ter dodge?"
40262Does yer mean to insinuate that the old varmint loaded this bunch with dope?"
40262Ever play baseball, Joe, old boy?
40262HOW WAS IT DONE?
40262HOW WAS IT DONE?
40262Have I paid you in a satisfactory manner?"
40262How did it happen?"
40262How did you get this?"
40262How did you happen to be so quick with the shot?"
40262How do you explain that?"
40262How have you managed to stand those ruffians off?"
40262How is yourn, Dug?"
40262How know we that we are to receive all that is promised?"
40262How will you explain your behavior to the satisfaction of the law?"
40262How?"
40262I believe you have a mine in this vicinity?"
40262I have also learned, Mr. Merriwell, that you have other mines?"
40262I presume the Costolas must have possessed large estates in Spain?"
40262I sees him, and I says:''Jim, how much you let me have on my hoss and outfit?''
40262If I provide you with some loose change, will you give me your word not to use it in gambling?"
40262If I were to step out here now and make a similar charge against Mr. Kensington, what would be the result?"
40262If she were not, why should Black Joaquin put himself to so much trouble?"
40262If we should not find him, what would become of us, Abe?
40262If you deceive me in that, why not in everything?"
40262If you do, I''ll----""You''ll what?"
40262If you intend to push such a charge against me, why do n''t you go ahead and do it?
40262If you tries it----""What then?"
40262Is it settled?"
40262Is it strange we suspect she is a prize of great value?
40262Is that all yer can do?
40262Is that the sort of justice you are looking for, Morgan?
40262Is that the way you obtain justice for your dead partner?
40262Is that what you mean?
40262Is the chief to get it all?"
40262Is there no town, no human habitation beyond these mountains?"
40262Is you trying to fool your brother up some?"
40262It is barely possible you have heard of me?"
40262Kensington did not seem pleased, and immediately he demanded:"How do you happen to know so much about it, sir?"
40262Let''s see, whatever was his name?"
40262Macklyn Morgan, are you immaculate?
40262Me?"
40262Mebbe he takes hatchet and chop um up?
40262Mebbe you has no great time to waste?"
40262Mebbe you means Frank Merriwell?"
40262Merriwell?"
40262Merriwell?"
40262Merriwell?"
40262Morgan?"
40262Much less, why should any who profess to be of the holy faith do such a thing?"
40262Oh, where is he?"
40262Oh, you will take me with you, wo n''t you, Dick?
40262Perhaps you have not heard of me?"
40262Sabe?"
40262Staples is not home, where can I find him?"
40262Staples?"
40262The boy''s dark eyes looked fearlessly at them, and he coolly inquired:"What''s your game?
40262Then what Joe him get?
40262This story about living on a ranch-- how about it?"
40262This yere is a nice bunch o''miners, now, ai n''t it?
40262Trying to repress and conceal his indignation, Bart asked, as if wholly unsuspicious of the real situation:"What''s the matter, Bland?"

40262When the door was opened and Buckhart entered, Felicia cried out to him:"Dick-- you have found him?"
40262When they had lowered its contents until very little was left, Bight observed:"I s''pose Bland he''s going to chaw up this yere chap, Hodge?"

40262Why are they not permitted to come to me?"
40262Why did n''t I see them?"
40262Why did n''t he come himself, instead of doing that?"
40262Why did n''t you let me know about it any?
40262Why did they attack you?"
40262Why did they set upon me, my son?"
40262Why did you pursue and hunt him in disguise?
40262Why do n''t we have the luck to locate a mine like that?
40262Why do n''t you leave your cousin in the care of Cap''n Wiley?"
40262Why do you keep out of reach and urge your little beasts on?"

40262Why do you tell me what you contemplate doing?
40262Why does yer reckon that when you agrees ter meet me at Win''mill Station I comes here to find you five miles away?
40262Why should I win with you?"
40262Why should any one seize me and choke me in such a manner?

40262Why should we be for telling you any?"
40262Why was it constructed?

40262Why, Frank, what are you going to do about it?
40262Will you explain to me how any one could have seen me shoot him under such circumstances?"
40262Without paying any attention to the pockmarked fellow, Dillon bent over the motionless boy, muttering:"I wonder if I cracks his skull?
40262Worthington?"

40262You takes some good men with you?"
40262You tells how you raises a roar if you do n''t git your coin, but what does yer do to earn it?"

38234So there was n''t no clay on his hoofs, hey?
38234So? 38234 Swimming?"

38234Well, do n''t wait very long-- Johnny may skin out if you do,Hopalong replied, and then, suddenly:"Just where was it you shot at them snakes?"
38234Well, even if there was n''t no agreement you ca n''t blame them for trying to keep their land, can you?
38234Well, got it all over, hey?

38234Why ai n''t you in it?
38234Why are you toting yore possessions on th''hoof? 38234 Why did n''t he tell us he was going to try that?"
38234Why did n''t he wait, when he knowed I was comin''in?
38234Why did n''t you grab her when she went by, Lanky?
38234Why did n''t you say so, then,''stead of calling him yore broncho- buster?
38234Why did n''t you stay up in Number Two, like I told you? 38234 Why did n''t you?"
38234Why do n''t you give''em a good shot at you? 38234 Why do n''t you learn how to talk English?
38234Why do n''t you scold me?
38234Why do n''t you want to let Paw use th''valley?
38234Why do you hate him so much more''n th''other Greasers?
38234Why, do n''t you remember he said he''d get me one like yourn th''next time he went north? 38234 Why, is it, Salem?"
38234Why, what''s the matter?
38234Why?
38234Will you be up here again soon?
38234Will you come up again to- morrow?
38234Will you let me go?
38234Will you listen quietly or will you risk losing th''seat of yore pants? 38234 Will you wear it because we''re friends?"
38234Will_ you_ go?
38234Wonder how many are in it, anyhow?
38234Wonder how much money''Tony totes around on him?
38234Wonder if Clausen can see in th''dark? 38234 Wonder if Smith did shoot Ed?"
38234Wonder what mesa they''re on?
38234Wonder what they think they''re going to do?
38234Wonder where Hopalong is?
38234Wonder who''s writing to Frenchy?
38234Worth while hanging''round, Curley? 38234 Would n''t th''Kid look nice hobbled with matrimony?
38234Yes, I do; an''do_ you_ see this H2?
38234Yes; an''what was th''brand?
38234Yes; but now what''s he doing?
38234Yes? 38234 Yes?"
38234Yo''re th''foreman of this ranch till you leave us-- ain''t he, boys?
38234You an''yore arm can--"What''s matter, Jim?
38234You are shore you did n''t recognize none of them thieves that ran off our herd yesterday?
38234You do n''t like it, do you?
38234You got my pants?
38234You keep mum about what you saw, d''y''hear?
38234You know what Hopalong said, do n''t you?
38234You say Meeker lost a whole herd?
38234You say everything is all right on th''ranch?
38234You see this Bar-20?
38234You was n''t down here, was you, Frenchy, when Johnny managed to rope a sleepy gray wolf that was two years old, an''tried to make a pet out of him?
38234You''ve shore stampeded me worse than ever-- I''m so loco I ca n''t wait much longer-- when are you going to marry me? 38234 Yuh still wondering''bout thet man Shaw, an''th''othas?"
38234_ Again_?
38234_ Can_ I? 38234 _ Me?_ Why, I just follered my nose, that''s all,"Meeker replied, surprised.
38234_ Quien sabe?_"Oh, them sleepers were made by yore own, lazy outfit, an''you might as well own up to it,Hopalong grinned, deprecatingly.
38234_ Quien sabe?_"That''_ Quien sabe_''is th''handiest an''most used pair of words in yore cussed language,replied Hopalong grinning.
38234_ Si, señor._"What''s th''matter, Dad?
38234_ Whoof!_ What''d we strike?
38234''Tony, what did you do about getting those two men you spoke of?
38234A body?"
38234Ai n''t everything fair in love an''war, as th''books say?"
38234Ai n''t there some other way to get what you want, if yo''re determined to go ahead?"
38234Ai n''t they pretty?"
38234Ai n''t you going to_ see_ it?"
38234Ai n''t you got enough?"
38234Ai n''t you got no sense?"
38234Am I keeping''em thirsty?
38234Am I th''Three Triangle?
38234Am I to swaller everything I hear?
38234Am I to walk th''line on something I did n''t make?
38234An''if there was one it was made by th''Three Triangle, was n''t it?--an''not by Nason or me?
38234An''stay off, savvy?"
38234An''we''re all frensh-- ain''t we, fellers?
38234An''what about that herd Meeker lost?
38234An''what do you want, anyhow, getting so friendly all of a sudden?"
38234An''what is that''line,''that we should n''t go over it?"
38234An''what''ll happen to me if you get killed?"
38234Any chance of seeing a scrap?"
38234Any more I can tell you before I begins to say things, too?"
38234Are there many still up there?"
38234Are they all as crazy as you?"
38234Are you emigrating?"
38234Are you loco?
38234Are you sleepy?"
38234Are you?"
38234But I only got fifty cartridges for it-- will you lend me some of yourn if I run short?"
38234But I wonder where he reckons he''s going, anyhow?"
38234But I''m leader here an''what I says goes; are you agreeable?"
38234But do n''t leave this house for nothing, savvy?"
38234But do you think this thief can get loose?"
38234But is that right?
38234But it ai n''t nowise right to drag her into it, savvy?
38234But they''ll see th''flower, wo n''t they?"
38234But we made''em hit th''high trail, did n''t we, old hinge- back?"
38234But what are you riding double for?
38234But why th''devil did they turn loose that H2 rebranded cow, that HQQ that I found?
38234But why?"
38234Ca n''t you forget it now?"
38234Can you get along without yore cook for a while?
38234Catching sight of Billy, who looked self- conscious and a little uncomfortable, he cried:"An''what''s th''matter with you?"
38234Come out looking for us, did you?
38234Coming, Jim?"
38234D''y hear?"
38234D-- n it, do n''t you know you''ve queered th''game for good?"
38234Dead cow?"
38234Did Buck say anything to you about it?"
38234Did he count the odds?
38234Did he send you any help in th''valley?"
38234Did he stop to return to the ranch for assistance?
38234Did n''t Hopalong tell you to hold it?"
38234Did n''t see none, did you?"
38234Did n''t you fellers make them sleepers?"
38234Did you cut this beef in strips, or in twenty- pound chunks, like you did th''last?"
38234Did you know I was covering their drinking water?"
38234Did you see''em stiffen when I warbled?
38234Did you send word to me that you''d kill me if I showed myself?"
38234Did you?"
38234Do n''t drive''em over till I tell you, but do n''t let none stray south again; savvy?
38234Do n''t leave it for a second, understand?
38234Do n''t you know this ai n''t no place for you to- day?"
38234Do you cook for that hungry outfit?"
38234Do you hear, you thieves?
38234Do you hear?"
38234Do you know who he is?"
38234Do you like cookies, an''cake?"
38234Do you mean to let th''rest of th''outfit see_ that_?"
38234Do you reckon I''d go away an''leave you standing out here like a busted- down pack mule?"
38234Do you think I spent good time an''money just to supply_ you_ with water?
38234Do you want to go loco?
38234Do you want_ me_ to do that?"
38234Doc, suppose you take th''west, next to Curley?
38234Everybody had a drink an''some grub?
38234Fighting who?"
38234Going to drop that hat?"
38234Got any word for Shaw?"
38234Got plenty of cartridges?
38234Got that manilla one?
38234Had yore grub yet?"
38234Have you got a rope, Jim?
38234Have you got any word for Buck?
38234Have you seen Johnny around?"
38234He did n''t get his gun out quick enough when he went after it, did he?
38234He had n''t ought to go off fighting without saying good- bye to his girl, had he?"
38234He heard hoofbeats and glanced up quickly, alert and ready for trouble, for who would be riding where he was but some H2 puncher?
38234He toted a running iron an''I caught him just after I looked over a cow with a new brand--""Did you get him good?"
38234Hear him cuss?
38234Hear that, Red?"
38234Him, or any other man we did n''t want in?"
38234Hopalong turned in time to see the act and, knowing Skinny''s peculiarities, asked abruptly:"What''s on yore mind, Skinny?"
38234How did you come to guess he had an iron?"
38234How do you think I''m going to grab that edge if you takes me ten feet away from it?"
38234How long have you known him, an''where''d you meet him?"
38234How long is this going to last?
38234How many of''em have you got so far?
38234How th''devil could that crowd hit_ our_ trail?"
38234How you feeling, Meeker?
38234How''s things east?"
38234Hullo, Chick; still going to lick me one- handed?"
38234Hullo, Doc; what''s th''matter?"
38234Hullo, who''s this?"
38234I got money-- helluva lot of money-- an''thersh more where it came from, ai n''t that so, boys?"
38234I told her to stay in th''house, but--""Well, why in thunder do n''t you go back where you can take care of her?"
38234I want my own, savvy?"
38234I want to see him about some--""An''where''s th''coolie that rid that hoss?"
38234I was mad, an''sort of forgot about''em being able to shoot at me-- but what happened out there, anyhow?"
38234I''d been a fool if I had n''t, would n''t I?"
38234I''m east-- what''s eating at you?"
38234In God''s name, why did I leave you?"
38234Is anybody around?"
38234Is it very bronc?"
38234Is_ he_ in that house?"
38234It''s an even break, an''what are you going to do about it?"
38234It''s over th''stone work-- see where that ripple runs?
38234Jack, how do you feel?
38234Mary looked up when they entered:"What''s th''matter, Dad?
38234Me?
38234Mebbe you''d like to try it now?"
38234Mebby this little trick wins th''game for us--_quien sabe?_ Hullo, Red; where''s yore side pardner?"
38234Mebby this little trick wins th''game for us--_quien sabe?_ Hullo, Red; where''s yore side pardner?"
38234Meeker?"
38234No matter what happens?"
38234Now suppose one of them fellers goes on sentry duty along this end; what then?"
38234Now, th''question is, where was he, an''what th''devil was he doing?
38234Now, what do you think of that?"
38234On th''level, now, ai n''t I right?
38234Or is she doing all of it, you being bashful?"
38234Or was it anything at all?
38234Pete says he reckoned some rustler must have left it behind an''got away down th''--""Get it for me, Kid, will you?"
38234Pete, some people say cayuses ai n''t got no sense, that they ca n''t reason-- they never knowed you, did they?
38234Purty good for''em, eh?"
38234Remember Bye- an''-Bye an''Cactus Springs, Buckskin an''Slippery Trendley?
38234Remember th''good old scraps?
38234Say, can I use yore chuck wagon?
38234Say, how did they get Pete out?"
38234See here, Lucas; have you watched them construction camps along that railroad?
38234See how it overlooks their layout?"
38234Shot down like_ a dog!_""Where''d it happen?"
38234Shot in th''starboard-- no, was it starboard?
38234Skinny, do you reckon if you was under them to- night that you could get yore rope fast to th''bottom one?"
38234Skinny, where''s yore rope?
38234Somebody that can live in''em a month, if he has to?"
38234Something like old times, eh?
38234Suppose he felt like pitching real strong-- where would you be with that tail holt?"
38234Suppose he finds th''herds you holds in it for us-- what then?"
38234Tell him to take a herd across this line, will you?"
38234Th''sheriff up an''found his stride, Bill''s soul went shootin''down th''slide-- How are things on th''Great Divide, Oh, Whiskey Bill?
38234That cross between a nigger an''a Chinee is in Davy Jones''locker, is he?
38234That proves what th''dam was cut for, do n''t it?"
38234Then he heard a low voice outside the south window, and it called:"Clausen, Clausen-- what happened?
38234Then he''s going to put two or three on th''range; why?"
38234Then we separates, savvy?
38234Then what''ll you do?
38234Then, like a shot:"Was it that Greaser?"
38234There ai n''t no rustlers loose on this range, is there?"
38234They come to- day;_ quien sabe_?"
38234They drove it almost north, so far; savvy?"
38234They''re late, ai n''t they, sir?"
38234They''re yore enemies as much as they are mine, ai n''t they?
38234Think I can see in th''dark?"
38234Think I want to lay out here all night?
38234Think I was going to stay up there when you two fellers are going off scouting to- morrow?
38234Think you see money out there?"
38234This is his shovel, an''I--""Then where''d you get it, hey?
38234Time to go yet?"
38234Turning, and seeing Hopalong laughing until the tears ran down his face, he roared,"What are you laughing at, d-- n you?"
38234Understand?
38234Want them cartridges, hey?
38234Want to let Meeker win out?"
38234Want to tell''em what''s up?
38234Was you reckonin''on takin''it away from him at th''end?"
38234We''re going to have some blamed fine times down here before everything is settled, ai n''t we?"
38234Well, you can get square-- Pete, where''s yore cayuse?"
38234What are you going to do with''em?"
38234What are you kicking about?"
38234What are you talking about, anyhow?
38234What are_ you_ doing up here?"
38234What could it mean?
38234What devilish Humpty Dumpty had cheated him this time?
38234What did you say to him, Doc?"
38234What do you know about it, Red?"
38234What do you say, fellers?"
38234What do you think about''em?"
38234What do you want, anyhow?"
38234What do_ you_ want with a gun that''ll shoot eighteen hundred?
38234What dragged you from th''bunk so d----d early, anyhow?"
38234What ever got you into this?"
38234What ever made you think you ca n''t?"
38234What for?"
38234What good will it do you when yo''re dead?
38234What have they got to do with me?"
38234What have you been doing to her?
38234What if her father had warned her not to ride near the lawless punchers who rode the northern range?
38234What kept you so long?
38234What kind of a man is Hopalong Cassidy when it comes to women?"
38234What more do you want, when you''ve got to have us to run th''game at all?"
38234What was that thing on the floor?
38234What was that you was saying about rustlers an''th''ropes?"
38234What you doing, fellers?"
38234What you doing?"
38234What you doing?"
38234What you doing?"
38234What''s comin''to us down here, anyway?
38234What''s eating you?
38234What''s that?
38234What''s wrong here, anyhow?"
38234What''s wrong?"
38234When I want any scouting done before daylight I''ll take care of it myself, savvy?
38234When he came within hailing distance he stood up in his stirrups, shouting,"What''s up?"
38234When silvery nights my courting light An''souls of flowers wander, Then who''s to blame if I loved th''game An''did not pause to ponder?
38234Where did you ever learn how to talk Chinese?"
38234Where you going?"
38234Where''d you clear from, an''who are you?"
38234Where''s Buck?
38234Where''s Doc?
38234Where''s Doc?"
38234Where''s Ginger?"
38234Where''s Hopalong?"
38234Where''s Red?"
38234Where''s Red?"
38234Where''s th''Lascar?
38234Where''s th''rest of yore gang?"
38234Where''s th''water?"
38234Where''s yore cayuse?"
38234Where''s yore cayuse?"
38234Who are you?"
38234Who are you?"
38234Who''s a snake?
38234Who''s going to take th''next drive an''bring back th''flour, you or Clausen?"
38234Who''s going to win?
38234Who''s that calling?"
38234Who- all was down there?"
38234Why ai n''t you in th''house, where you belongs?"
38234Why ai n''t you in that shack?
38234Why are you so late?"
38234Why ca n''t he get drunk out here, where it''s all right?"
38234Why did n''t he say so?
38234Why did n''t they take th''rest, an''th''houses, an''th''whole ranch?
38234Why did n''t you do that?"
38234Why do n''t you answer?"
38234Why not put it lower down?"
38234Why were the others, all good fellows, excluded?
38234Why, are you hurt, Doc?"
38234Why, had yore smoke so soon?"
38234Why?"
38234Will you lend me some?"
38234Wo n''t you let me go before some one sees us?"
38234Wonder how many are up that mesa?"
38234Wonder if I scared him as much as he scared me?"
38234Wonder what Mr. Dick Archer thinks about_ my_ shooting about now?
38234Wonder what Pete''s doing?"
38234Wonder what''s up?
38234Wonder when you was watered last?"
38234Wonder why they shot it, instead of driving it off after they got it this far?"
38234Yore name''s Cassidy, ai n''t it?"
38234You ai n''t acted none too wide awake lately an''yore string of cayuses has shore been used hard, so I want it stopped, an''stopped_ sudden_; hear me?
38234You ai n''t got no smart come- back now, an''you ai n''t throwing no wash water on me, are you?"
38234You ai n''t saying a word, are you, you carrion?
38234You did n''t drive him out, or cut him?"
38234You did n''t see no breaks in th''wall up where you was, did you?"
38234You have a chance to get away, because you can watch''em, but how about us, out there on th''edge of h-- l?
38234You know there''s a good strong line house on th''top of Lookout Peak, do n''t you?"
38234You know they ai n''t going to welcome us, do n''t you?"
38234You know what happened th''last time rustlin''got to be th''style, do n''t you?"
38234You look plumb wide awake, like Buck-- how''d you do it?"
38234You remember what Quinn said about th''time Peters led a lot of mad punchers agin Trendley an''his crowd, do n''t you?
38234You went down to Eagle, did n''t you?"
38234You whale- bellied, barnacle- brained bilge pirate, I''ve got a good notion--""Say, is there anybody around here that ai n''t loco?
38234You wo n''t, will you?"
38234You''ll look nice at th''end of a rope, wo n''t you?
38234_ Adios._""You ai n''t going to let us come up?"
38234_ Half?_""_ Si._""You''re loco!"
38234he cried, laughing,"shall I bring some water in to you?"
38234replied Meeker, and then:"Do you know my girl?"

34567I dug a forty- five bullet out o''Blakely''s swell- fork the day we had the run- in at the Bar S."Why did n''t yuh tell me?
34567I feel like a father to her, so why not? 34567 I guess now yuh never was married, was yuh, Scotty?"
34567I s''pose he was shot the evenin''of the dance?

34567It is a cinch to fool most of''em, ai n''t it-- especially when yo''re a sheriff?
34567It sort o''settles the cat- hop, do n''t it?
34567It''s just like old times, is n''t it?

34567Say, Tom, did this shootin''party look anyways familiar?
34567Say, did she tell yuh what Blakely done?
34567Say, fellah,he continued,"how do yuh know so much about Block?"
34567Say, who''s the postmaster here?
34567Say,called Loudon, when he could endure their chatter no longer,"say, would yuh mind closin''that door?
34567Say,exclaimed Loudon,"ca n''t a married man do nothin''without askin''his wife?"
34567Say,exclaimed the man with the scratched face,"are you lookin''for trouble?"
34567Say,he demanded,"why did n''t yuh arrest him?"
34567Say,remarked Red, hastening to break the awkward silence,"say, wo n''t Block feel happy when he finds we''ve done ventilated his deputies?"
34567Say,said Johnny Ramsay, suddenly,"this here hold- up cut down on yuh from behind a rock, did n''t he?"
34567Say,said Loudon, when the liquor was poured,"say, how about east in the foothills o''the Fryin''Pans?
34567Scotty Mackenzie come in yet?

34567The evidence is beginnin''to show itself, ai n''t it?
34567The outfit ai n''t quit, has it?
34567Then it all did n''t mean nothin''?
34567Then why did yuh walk in the water if yuh wanted me to know I owed yuh so much? 34567 Then why would n''t Saltoun o''the Bar S know all about it?
34567Then-- then why did yuh go to the Judge? 34567 There was n''t nobody here but you, was there?"
34567This here kind o''puts a crimp in our game, do n''t it?
34567This mornin'',said Loudon, slowly,"Where''d yuh see Blakely''s sorrel this mornin''?"
34567Tom Loudon,"Where is he?
34567Tom,she said,"do n''t you think I''d better find out whether O''Leary writes any letters and, if he does, to whom he writes them?"

34567Is n''t it awful about Scotty Mackenzie?

34567Then if our forgin''brother takes his pen in hand again it wo n''t do him no good.... What?
34567Then, his horse having covered a hundred yards in the interval, he quoted,"''Could n''t Sam come?''
34567Then, in a small demure voice, Mrs. Mace said:"What was that?
34567Then, recollecting himself, he added quickly,"What was that yuh said about cartridges, Johnny?"
34567There ai n''t nothin''the matter with our hands, is there?

34567Was ever mortal man in a similar predicament?
34567Was it because he did not wish to identify himself in any way with Sheriff Block?
34567Was it the guilty conscience?
34567Was it the left side or the right side?"
34567Was the state o''Sam''s health all yuh wanted to know, Marvin?
34567Was this the Kate that had called him names and broken his heart and driven him from the Lazy River?
34567Wat was dose word she say-- dose fonny word you not know w''at dey mean?"

4082An''you mean for marry, eh?
4082And Stark?
4082And are they all alike?
4082And would your marriage to a-- a-- to me destroy your army career?
4082And you are sure you wo n''t regret it?
4082And you never caught him?
4082And you think you''ll marry Necia, do you?
4082Are there lots of white women?
4082Are you crazy?
4082Are you goin''away?
4082Are you going to boss our people around?
4082Are you going to locate here?
4082Are you hurt? 4082 Are you lazy?"
4082As happy as you, my soldier?
4082Back soon?
4082Beats the deuce, though, how things work out, do n''t it?
4082Been making friends with that squaw, eh?
4082But Stark?
4082But how are they regarded when civilization comes along?
4082But it would make a difference with some people?
4082But surely they have n''t fully prospected his claims yet; there must be plenty of room for a pay- streak somewhere, must n''t there?
4082But w''ere is Necia?
4082But what would happen to Lieutenant Burrell if-- if-- well, if he should do something like that? 4082 But when are you coming back?"
4082But where is Runnion?
4082But why did n''t you marry her when I came? 4082 But why did this man stop here?"
4082But why?
4082By- an''-by she''s goin''marry on some feller-- w''at?
4082Ca n''t you and me bring her back?
4082Ca n''t you conquer that roving spirit and settle down like a man?
4082Ca n''t you see there''s nothing else for it, after this? 4082 Ca n''t you show yourself to me as well as to Poleon?"
4082Ca n''t you trust me this one time? 4082 Can he be the one?"
4082Can we count on them?
4082Certainly sounds good, but is it on the level?
4082Could n''t the little girl be traced?
4082Decided not to take him?
4082Did he come back here just now?
4082Did she say so?
4082Did you get away without bein''seen?
4082Did you like the books I sent you with Poleon when he went down to the coast? 4082 Do n''t you aim to tell what started this?"
4082Do n''t you know?
4082Do n''t you see? 4082 Do you love her as much as you should?"
4082Do you mean dat for sure?
4082Do you mean he''s-- passing out?
4082Do you mean to take a hand in all of my affairs?
4082Do you remember that first day when he drifted, singing, into sight around the bend up yonder? 4082 Do you think I double- crossed you?"
4082Do you think a girl could be happy if she knew a good man had spoiled his life for her? 4082 Do you think this will be a big town?"
4082Does he knew you love him?
4082Does n''t she know, my boy?
4082Does this man suspect?
4082Fifteen years? 4082 Getting kind of mushy, ai n''t you?
4082Has he tried to git anybody yet?
4082Has something happened to the three- legged puppy?
4082Have n''t I told you there is n''t any''far country''? 4082 Have you enough money to buy your season''s grub?"
4082Have you got your eye on her, too?
4082Have you heard the news from the creeks?
4082Have you seen Stark? 4082 Have you struck pay on yours?"
4082Have you thought of Necia? 4082 Have you told Necia?"
4082Have you try hees cabane?
4082Have you weakened? 4082 He asked you to marry him in-- in-- in spite of who you are and what I am?"
4082He died before you got him in, did n''t he?
4082He drew a blank, eh?
4082He''s different; ai n''t he, Lieutenant?
4082He-- he''s dead?
4082Him got a woman, eh?
4082How I''m goin''tell you dat?
4082How are you going to help yourself?
4082How are you going to spend your money?
4082How did it happen?
4082How did the Lieutenant take it when you refused him?
4082How did you come?
4082How did you discover this?
4082How did you leave him? 4082 How do you know?
4082How do you know?
4082How do you mean?
4082How do you mean?
4082How does your father look at it?
4082How far are you goin''?
4082How long ago?
4082How much proof do you need? 4082 How so?"
4082How so?
4082How''s that?
4082I could n''t thank you before all those people-- they would have read our secret-- but you know how I feel, do n''t you, Meade?
4082I guess you been purty glad for havin''Necia home again, eh?
4082I never thought to ask you,he said, wearily;"but you must be hurt?
4082I reckon you know as much as a priest, now, do n''t you?
4082I reckon you simply aim to keep peace, eh? 4082 I supposed you went with your father?"
4082I supposed, of course, you knew--"Knew?
4082I tol''you dat_ I_ know all''bout dis Black Bear Creek, too-- you''member, eh? 4082 I wonder if I can ever forget?"
4082I''ll bet dere''s hell to pay den-- w''at?
4082I-- I-- I-- What do you mean?
4082I-- I-- was thinking what-- supposing you had n''t come? 4082 I?
4082If they do n''t bother me, Necia, why should you worry?
4082In my cache?
4082Is everything ready?
4082Is he a mining man?
4082Is he hurt badly?
4082Is it a joke?
4082Is it not time to rest?
4082Is n''t a half- breed just as good as a white?
4082Is she sick?
4082Is that how you got your name?
4082Is this true?
4082It''s a nice word, is n''t it?
4082John Gale?
4082Knew what--?
4082Look here,said Stark, curiously,"do you really think I killed Merridy?"
4082May I look?
4082Merridy? 4082 Mining now?"
4082Necia gone?
4082Necia, little girl, what is the trouble?
4082No?
4082Nobody knows except father and Poleon and the two new men--"What is it?
4082Nothing?
4082Oh, why did n''t you tie more knots in it?
4082Oh, will you?
4082Oh- h,she sighed,"ca n''t you SEE?
4082Other men will come-- a great many of them?
4082Pah- Ute, eh?
4082Poleon,said he,"you''re not going away?"
4082Poor man?
4082Pretty small outfit for a miner, is n''t it?
4082Purty, ai n''t he?
4082S''pose dose people at camp hear''bout dis strike an''beat us in?
4082Saloon, eh?
4082Say, are these people kiddin''me?
4082Say, it''s kind of funny our standing here talking about that thing, is n''t it? 4082 She is, is she?"
4082So help you God?
4082So that''s how you and he made it?
4082So? 4082 So?
4082Some seminary, eh?
4082Suppose it was-- murder?
4082That shot in Lee''s cabin?
4082That was four years ago,mused Gale,"and he never found his''New Country,''did he?"
4082The breeze fairly tastes with clean things, does n''t it? 4082 Then Miss Necia was born out in the States?"
4082Then it''s that soldier?
4082Then there is a few that you want, eh?
4082Then why delay? 4082 Then why did n''t you?
4082Then you do n''t doubt no part of it?
4082Then you have n''t lived here always?
4082Then you won''t-- marry me?
4082Then you''ve lost the little shiny rifle that shoots with air?
4082Then, why in hell did n''t you fellers tell me long ago?
4082Think of the little ones and of me,the squaw insisted, and, encouraged by his silence, continued:"Why not?
4082This could n''t cause him trouble, could it, outside of Stark''s and Runnion''s grudge?
4082Those your kids, too, eh?
4082To be sure, I''m a policeman, am I not? 4082 To give yourself up?"
4082Too fine?
4082Too late for what?
4082Very well, Runnion; did you bring an outfit with you?

4082Well, what''s your plan?
4082Well, who do_ I_ git?

4082What ails you, child? 4082 What are you doing here?"
4082What are you driving at?
4082What are you goin''to do with it?
4082What are you going to do?
4082What business is it of yours? 4082 What do you care?"
4082What do you mean, Frenchy?
4082What do you mean? 4082 What do you mean?"
4082What do you mean?
4082What do you mean?
4082What do you mean?
4082What do you reckon I got all them clothes for?
4082What do you want in this place, anyhow?
4082What is all this I hear? 4082 What is it?"
4082What is it?
4082What is it?
4082What is that?
4082What is the meaning of this?
4082What is this-- a hold- up?
4082What kind of flour is that?
4082What kind of place is that land of yours, Poleon?
4082What kind?
4082What made you keep still so long? 4082 What proof have you?"
4082What time of day was it when you learned about this?
4082What was her name?
4082What was it?
4082What y''all aim to do?
4082What''s become of that fourth step?
4082What''s he got to do with it?
4082What''s that?
4082What''s the matter with you tikes, anyhow?
4082What''s this I hear?
4082What''s up?
4082What''s wrong with it?
4082What''s wrong; where is Necia? 4082 What''s wrong?"
4082What?
4082When are you coming back?
4082When did YOU get here?
4082When did she go, Alluna? 4082 When will Poleon get back, do you suppose?"
4082When you do become a Flambeau king,she continued,"what will you do with yourself?
4082Where are you going?
4082Where did you get that-- well-- that air?
4082Where did you get-- that name?
4082Where did you learn all this?
4082Where did you learn to wear things like that?
4082Where has she gone? 4082 Where is he?"
4082Where is she?
4082Where is she?
4082Where is she?
4082Where you bound?
4082Where''s Gale? 4082 Where''s my girl?"
4082Where?
4082Where?
4082Which one?
4082Which way does our course lie now, Pathfinder?
4082Who are you?
4082Who is he?
4082Who is it that the bullet has n''t been run to kill?
4082Who is it? 4082 Who is the man?"
4082Who is this man Stark?
4082Who tol''you''bout dis strike-- eh?
4082Who wised you up to this?
4082Who''d ever think of that? 4082 Who''s dose beeg, tall people w''at stan''''longside of you, Miz Gale?"
4082Who''s there?
4082Who?
4082Why did he not stay on the steamboat and go to Dawson?
4082Why did n''t he?
4082Why did n''t you shoot?
4082Why did n''t you speak?
4082Why did she go?
4082Why did you marry my mother?
4082Why do you need to do all that?
4082Why not do it legal?
4082Why not? 4082 Why not?"
4082Why not?
4082Why not?
4082Why should they, I''d like to know? 4082 Why was n''t I born white like other girls?
4082Why, you are n''t really angry, Lieutenant?
4082Why? 4082 Why?"
4082Why?
4082Why?
4082Why?
4082Why?
4082Why?
4082Will you do it or not?
4082Wo n''t you tell me?
4082Worse things? 4082 Would his people object to-- to such a thing?"
4082Would you really have to give up your family-- your sister? 4082 Would you stan''up wit''me''longside of de pries'', lovin''dat oder feller all de tam''?"
4082You are going to be married?
4082You been fightin''?
4082You could n''t find no trace of him?
4082You could n''t get but three, eh?
4082You decided to take in another one, eh?
4082You did n''t really think--?
4082You did n''t run into anybody, eh?
4082You did n''t touch him again?
4082You do love me, do n''t you?
4082You do?
4082You feel it purty good now, eh, w''at?
4082You have visions of such things, eh?
4082You knew me then?
4082You know him, John?
4082You know me for good man, eh? 4082 You lak''it, eh?"
4082You laughed at me, did n''t you?
4082You mean dat, Necia?
4082You mean-- you want to-- marry me?
4082You really think you love her, do you?
4082You remember he hung back and wanted to go slow from the start; and did n''t he ask us to camp early last night? 4082 You saw?"
4082You t''inkin''''bout marry on some feller, eh?
4082You think time will cure a love like that?
4082You want for jump Necia''s claims, eh?
4082You will take mother, too, and the kiddies, wo n''t you?
4082You''re a bunch of rascals, all of you, tryin''to down a pore girl and get her ground; but who put ye wise to this thing, in the first place? 4082 You''re travellin''kind of early, ai n''t you?"
4082You''ve got a fierce temper, have n''t you?
4082You''ve had a killing in your place, eh?
4082You?
4082Your father''s mother?
4082Your old man has been rough to you?
4082Your old man knifed him, eh?
4082''"For w''y you sell''i m?''
4082''Where is he?''
4082''Which road did he take?''"
4082After all, was he not a voyageur, and life but a song and a tear, and then a dream or two?
4082After an instant:"Why did you tell me this, anyhow?"
4082Ai n''t I right, Lieutenant?"
4082And if I do n''t believe, what is a stranger to say?
4082And she...?
4082Are n''t they the dearest things?
4082Are you crazy?"
4082Are you crazy?"
4082Are you rested from your trip?"
4082At one point Stark, hot and irritable, remarked:"There must be a shorter cut than this, Lee?"
4082Been having a change of heart, or is it your second childhood?"
4082Both laughed delightedly till he broke in, impulsively:"Oh, girl, do n''t you know how beautiful you are?"
4082But look here, what''s all this about, anyhow?
4082But then-- it might work a wrong upon her; and yet, would it?
4082Ca n''t I help you out?"
4082Ca n''t you see?"
4082Could it be that he had sent Necia away?
4082Could it be?
4082Could knowledge of this affair have reached this man?
4082Did she hear aright?
4082Do I really look as if I''d always worn clothes like these?"
4082Do I really mean all that to you?"
4082Do n''t he love you?"
4082Do n''t you intend to arrest that man?"
4082Do n''t you savvy?
4082Do n''t you?"
4082Do you blame me?"
4082Do you have the feelin''for marry on her?"
4082Do you love me well enough to do it?''
4082Do you suppose I am really different from other girls?"
4082Do you think she can forget?"
4082Do you think she''ll do it?"
4082Do you think you are worthy of her?"
4082Do you want me for a husband or for a master?"
4082Do you want to upset us?"
4082Does it go?"
4082Does it look bad?"
4082Finally he took up his burden of blanket and food, then said to her:"Well, are you ready, little one?"
4082For God''s sake, what does this mean?"
4082Gale looked up from beneath his thatch of brow, and asked, quietly:"Why?"
4082Gale?"
4082Gale?"
4082Had he not been tried in a hundred ways?
4082Had he not served and guarded her with all the gentle chivalry of an olden knight?
4082Had he not watched the girl grow from a slip of thirteen and spoken never a word of his love?
4082Had he not wrestled with himself for months in thinking it all out, until his mind was weary and listless with the effort?
4082Had not the gods looked with favor, at last, upon his long novitiate, and been pleased with the faith he had kept?
4082Had not this discovery of"No Creek"Lee''s been providentially arranged for his own especial benefit?
4082Has he been about?"
4082Have n''t I told you that this path leads only to hardship and suffering and danger?
4082He aims to overawe us, do n''t he?"
4082He came up with a strut, illumining the landscape, and inquired:"Well, how do I look?"
4082He continued rowing for some time, then said:"Will you marry me?"
4082He had quit the squaw, who was livin''with a greaser in Tucson--""And do you think I''m like that woman?"
4082He must have wounded you?"
4082He rested again on his oars, and said, with deliberation:"Stark''kindly offered''did he?
4082He tied his enemy''s hands and delivered him up with his thirst unsatisfied-- to whom?
4082He''s gone after her, eh?"
4082His judgment was verified, however, when Poleon drew him aside later and said:"You know dat feller?"
4082How could he?"
4082How did you get here?"
4082How do you come to be dressed like that?
4082How do you know she was his mother?"
4082I could have sold it, but there was no place for me to go, and what did I want with money?
4082I dare say you can tolerate me until then, can you not?"
4082I guess you don''have so much present w''en you was li''l''gal you''se''f, w''at?
4082I make love like a man ought to--""Are you making love to me?"
4082I never knew you had such clothes?"
4082I suppose you''re Old Man Gale''s other daughter-- eh?"
4082I think we''re very cunning to beat them in, do n''t you?"
4082I''m not sure there is anything to prevent it, but neither am I sure it would be quite the square thing-- are you?"
4082I''ve slept on his trail for five thousand miles, and now do you think I''m mistaken?
4082If this talk is to be as lengthy as you say, why not have a drink with me now, and postpone it until to- morrow?"
4082If you-- marry me, must you forego all those great things you speak of-- your profession, your family, your future?"
4082Instead, she inquired:"Why did you try it there before all those others?"
4082Is he badly injured?"
4082Is it go?"
4082Is it not so?"
4082Is it true?"
4082Is n''t it queer?"
4082Is that plain?"
4082It was most unlady- like, was n''t it?
4082It was you that found him, was n''t it?"
4082It''s a grand thing to be rich, ai n''t it?"
4082John Gale a murderer?
4082May I warm myself at your fire?''"
4082Mebbe you don''care if she does get marry, eh?"
4082Murder?
4082Nice people back there would n''t tolerate a girl like me for a moment, would they?
4082Of course you do n''t love me, for you do n''t know what love is, I suppose; how-- could you?"
4082Oh, why did you ever turn squaw- man?
4082On the level-- how am I?"
4082One of the new arrivals, who had separated from the others at the front, now called to Gale:"Are those Colts for sale?
4082Please come with me, wo n''t you?"
4082Poleon Doret called to Runnion:"M''sieu, you''member w''at I tol''you yestidday?
4082Runnion she''s len''me dis coat, so mebbe I don''look so worse lak''I do jus''now, eh?"
4082Runnion?"
4082S''cuses?"
4082Say, don''you wear no necktie wit''dem kin''of clothes?"
4082Say, where''s your father?"
4082See them red spear- heads on the boosum?
4082She noted that they were running with the current, and inquired:"Where are we going?"
4082She ventured again, tremulously:"Have you any idea what time it is?"
4082So, restless and tired of her lonely vigil, she gave a premonitory cough, and said to her companion:"You must be tired rowing so steadily?"
4082Suppose she doubted-- have you ever thought of that?
4082Suppose, for instance, he went after you-- or me?"
4082The land you are looking for is there"--she touched his breast--"so why do n''t you stay in Flambeau and let us help you to find it?"
4082The men around here have never made me feel conscious of it, but--""You''re afraid of these new people who are coming, eh?
4082Then he inquired, irrelevantly;"But what about Bennett, Mr. Gale?
4082Then he inquired:"Bound for the outside?"
4082Then she whispered fiercely into his ear:"Ca n''t you see he''s trying to make you fight?
4082Then to her,"Wal, is it bargain?"
4082Then, after a moment, he added,"From the story I told you at the mine that night, I suppose?"
4082Then, when the gambler still made no move, he insisted,"You would n''t have me kill you like a rattlesnake?"
4082They faced each other silently a moment; then Stark spoke in a very quiet voice, though his eyes were glittering:"What''s the meaning of this?
4082They would n''t consider me good enough to associate with them?"
4082This was confusing, and Meade cried, angrily:"Why did n''t you give the alarm?
4082Those people of yours have all been good men and women, have n''t they?"
4082To his question,"What''s the trouble here?"
4082W''y don''you spik out?"
4082W''y?
4082Was he not merely repeating the same empty words with which he had so often beguiled her?
4082Was he to lose her, after all?
4082Was he, her soldier lover, asking her, the Indian girl--?
4082Was it impossible, the Lieutenant wondered, to move this man from his purpose?
4082Was n''t it beautiful, that pile of yellow grains and nuggets?
4082Was you hungry?"
4082Wat for you ask?"
4082Wat you mean?"
4082Wat you t''ink of dat?"
4082Wat''s de matter wit''''No Creek,''anyhow?"
4082Wat?
4082We''re here, ai n''t we?"
4082Well, well, that made it hard for you, did n''t it?"
4082Were she''s gone to?"
4082What about him?"
4082What ails you?"
4082What did you say?"
4082What difference would that make?"
4082What do you mean?"
4082What do you mean?"
4082What effect will this have on her?"
4082What frightful bones were these he bared?
4082What happened then?
4082What have I done?"
4082What if he did not intend to ask her, after all?
4082What if he had changed, now that he was alone, and had had time to think?
4082What if he had only been amusing himself?
4082What if it were true-- that which Runnion implied?
4082What in the world are you doing here?
4082What insanity had possessed the girl to rip her garment thus?
4082What is this tale?"
4082What kind of a coil was this?
4082What mattered loss to him?
4082What part did she play in this?
4082What possessed the girl?
4082What proof have you?"
4082What was the matter with your aim?
4082What were questions of breed or birth or color now, when she knew he loved her?
4082What would happen if he did?
4082What''s the answer?"
4082What''s the matter with you?
4082What''s this about you and Stark?
4082When did she go out?"
4082When did she go?"
4082When the old man vouchsafed no more than a nod to his question, the prospector inquired:"Where''s Poleon?
4082When the other still kept silent, Gale insisted:"Did n''t you?"
4082When will the other boys he here?"
4082Where did you come from?
4082Where is she?"
4082Where on earth did you get it?"
4082Where was Necia?
4082Where was he now?
4082Where were you located?"
4082Where?"
4082Who are you, anyhow?"
4082Who are you?
4082Who found this gold?
4082Who offered you that?"
4082Who was he to stand between such passions?
4082Who''s the dressmaker?"
4082Why did he hesitate?
4082Why did n''t you come to me instead of yelling your lungs out around the house?"
4082Why did you do it?"
4082Why did you make me a breed?"
4082Why do you want that girl?
4082Why had he ever started it?
4082Why not?
4082Why that?"
4082Why, do you savvy the talk?"
4082Why, we are not going?"
4082Why?
4082Why?"
4082Why?"
4082With those shoulders?"
4082Wo n''t you come along?"
4082Wo n''t you do one decent thing before you die?"
4082Wo n''t you have my outfit put ashore?"
4082Wo n''t you?"
4082Would he never speak?
4082Would they object?"
4082Would those people you are so proud of and who are so proud of you-- would they cut you off?"
4082Would you not rather have her die still loving you than live and disbelieve?"
4082You ai n''t lookin''for nobody in particular?"
4082You don''mean dat?
4082You have visions of a white woman, a woman named Merridy, eh?"
4082You heard about Runnion, of course?"
4082You knew who_ I_ was?"
4082You say you never found him?"
4082You took it very hard, did n''t you?''"
4082You trapped me here to make a fool of me, did you?
4082You understand he''s mine, do n''t you?"
4082You''ll do it for my sake, wo n''t you?"
4082You-- you know?"
4082exclaimed Necia,"befriend other girls?"
4082exclaimed the trader, exultingly;"you can feel it in your guts already, eh?"
4082he cried,"what are you doing here at this hour?"
4082w''y not?
52358A Mexican?
52358A hundred of whom?
52358Afraid of what?
52358Ah,_ señor_,shrugged Del Rey,"was he not a Mexican citizen?
52358Ai n''t you going to eat?
52358All right, my friend,he said, giving Bud a facetious wink;"how much do you want for this prospect?"
52358All right,he said, as he passed it back,"and while we''re talking, what''s the matter with cutting it out on booze for this trip?"
52358All right?
52358Amigo,he said to the Yaqui,"are you a Mexican citizen?
52358And by whom?
52358And can I work for you then?
52358And did n''t you say you wanted-- him-- killed?
52358And do you expect a war?
52358And do you think he will serve? 52358 And how about the girl?"
52358And if we ca n''t?
52358And not a word about me?
52358And so you do not think that Phil is brave?
52358And so you have come to kill him?
52358And what did he say?
52358And what for?
52358And why not? 52358 And will you kill him?"
52358And you will buy the mine?
52358And you?
52358Are those two men coming out to meet us? 52358 Are you good for just one more?"
52358Aw, Bud,protested De Lancey plaintively,"what''s the matter with you?
52358But have you heard the news from down below? 52358 But have you killed any?"
52358But here''s the interesting part of it-- what do you think she asked me, after we''d had our little laugh? 52358 But how did this Indian happen to find you?"
52358But what is he charged with,persisted Bud,"and when is his trial?
52358But why?
52358But why?
52358By what right,he demanded truculently,"do you, an American, kill deer in our country?
52358By which woman?
52358Chop wood? 52358 Come on-- what do you say?
52358Count me in on anything-- which way does this trail go; do you know?
52358Did he come for me,he asked, advancing warily into the firelight,"that_ capitan_?"
52358Did those Yaquis know about the dynamite?
52358Did you get that, Bud?
52358Did you notice how those peons scattered when I rode down the street? 52358 Did you notice that_ coup_ I made-- asking him if he was a Spaniard?
52358Do n''t you like the hotel?
52358Do you know him?
52358Do you know that country?
52358Do you mean to say you have been here three days and never heard about Fortuna Vieja? 52358 Do you want to buy a prospect?"
52358Do_ you_ want to go back into Mexico? 52358 F''r instance?"
52358For how much?
52358From whom?
52358Have n''t I told you once? 52358 Have they been there long?"
52358Have you got a wife?
52358Have you got them with you?
52358Have you seen Del Rey to- day? 52358 He left me a little note, then, saying--""Saying what?"
52358Hello there, pardner,called Hooker, swinging down and striding over to the black window,"how long have they had you in here?"
52358Her old man was out and tried to jump our mine to- day-- how about her?
52358Here, have a smoke-- did they frisk you of your makings?
52358Here?
52358How about you?
52358How are you this morning?
52358How do you mean?
52358However, Agua Negra is once more in the hands of the government; the track is clear and most of the bridges repaired; so why quarrel with the Yaquis? 52358 Huh, what are we down here for, anyway-- a Sunday- school picnic?
52358I am very well, thank you-- and you?
52358I have always wanted to be your friend-- why will you never allow it? 52358 I have seen you ride past several times-- are you working for the big company up at New Fortuna?"
52358I promised to take care of you, did n''t I? 52358 I wonder what that Indian is waiting around here for?"
52358I wonder where that dogged Indian went to?
52358I wonder,he said, turning to Phil,"how many of them I could lick with one hand?"
52358If I should find the ledge the one hundred dollars would be nothing to me,_ sabe_? 52358 If I would speak from my heart,"she asked,"if I would talk plain, as you Americans do, would you like me better then?
52358If_ you_ had fought Del Rey?
52358In Fortuna?
52358Is it on Phil''s account?
52358Is it so pleasant, with a houseful of frightened women and screaming children, that you should make fun of our plight?
52358Is it something I have done?
52358Is that a compliment?
52358Is that why you never liked me? 52358 It is fine weather-- no?"
52358Josà © Maria Mendez?
52358Just rambling around a little-- how''s the country around here now?
52358Know?
52358Looks like the- morning- after with him, do n''t it?
52358Lovely weather, ai n''t it?
52358Me a Mexican?
52358Mining men?
52358Mr. Hooker,she began, walking gently toward him,"what will you do now?"
52358Mr. Hooker,she went on very miserably,"what did you mean this morning when you-- laughed?
52358Must have had a little trouble, then?
52358My mother is listening from the room-- but for the love of God, tell me, where is Phil?
52358Never do what?
52358No matter what you think about''em, you got to be polite, have n''t you? 52358 No?"
52358Now lookee here, Bud,clamored Phil, who had had a few drinks already,"you do n''t mean to insinuate, do you?
52358Now where did they come from? 52358 Oh, I thought-- but dear me, what is the use?"
52358Oh, have you thought all the time that I betrayed Phil? 52358 Oh, then did n''t you?"
52358Oh,she said,"is it time to get up?
52358Oh-- are we lost?
52358Perhaps this captain killed your people?
52358Phil desert?
52358Ricardo? 52358 Ride right through their camp?"
52358Say, there''s some class to this-- what? 52358 Say,"observed the proprietor, as Bud was paying his bill,"do you know who that oldtimer was?"
52358Scared?
52358Serve their purpose, eh? 52358 Shake hands,"she said, holding out both her own,"and will you help me?"
52358Shall we be going on soon?
52358So that is what you are thinking of? 52358 So that''s settled-- now who''s going to turn Mexican citizen?"
52358So you are a Mexican citizen, Señor De Lancey? 52358 So you were thinking of me,"she challenged sweetly,"all the while?
52358Sure; but what was his proposition? 52358 Surely,"said De Lancey;"but where?"
52358Take care?
52358Take that gun off-- do you understand?
52358That''s right,agreed Bud, who had been craning his neck;"but what''s that noise up the track?"
52358The question is: What did you do with it?
52358Then I must say good- by?
52358Then why do n''t you dig the gold out? 52358 Then you will take them?"
52358Tired, Amigo?
52358To you?
52358Tomorrow?
52358Um- m,said Bud,"old drills, eh?
52358W''y, I do n''t know,answered Bud, smiling broadly in anticipation;"what did she say?"
52358W''y-- what man?
52358Water?
52358We must go on-- but why do you look at me so strangely?
52358Well, now, that do n''t look so bad, does it?
52358Well, say,began Bud again,"what are you charged with?
52358Well, then,he went on, taking Bud''s answer for granted,"what''re you making such a row about?
52358Well, what are you pinched for? 52358 Well, why not?"
52358Well,came back De Lancey,"what''s the matter, then?
52358Well,exclaimed Phil,"what in the world was he talking to you about?"
52358Well,he observed,"I guess we''ve got Mr. Mendez started just about right-- what?
52358Well,he said, turning coldly upon the fawning Mendez, who was all curves in his desire to please,"where is your prospecto?"
52358Well,said Kruger, gazing inquiringly from one to the other,"is it a go?
52358Well?
52358Well?
52358What are we going to drink, then?
52358What are you going to pack out, Bud?
52358What are you laughing at, Señor Hooker?
52358What are you looking for?
52358What are you looking for?
52358What did she ask?
52358What did you tell that man?
52358What do those little_ pelónes_ know about liberty and justice, or the game that is being played? 52358 What do you do with this?"
52358What do you mean?
52358What do you want to do that for?
52358What do you want to do that for?
52358What does she know about cowboys?
52358What for?
52358What have they got you in for? 52358 What is it now?"
52358What is it you wish above everything?
52358What is it?
52358What is it?
52358What is there up here?
52358What oldtimer?
52358What shall we do?
52358What trouble have you had?
52358What you buy with all that,he inquired with a friendly grin;"grub?"
52358What you got?
52358What''d you tell him?
52358What''s that?
52358What''s the matter with me going in and talking to the agent?
52358What''s the matter, Bud?
52358What''s the matter?
52358What''s the matter?
52358What''s the play?
52358What''s the proposition?
52358What, do n''t I get a word,demanded Phil grievously,"not a pleasant look from anybody?
52358What, have you not heard of the battle?
52358What, that little bunch?
52358What,_ señor_,she bantered;"you do not speak?
52358What-- the mining man?
52358What? 52358 What?
52358What? 52358 What?"
52358What?
52358What?
52358What?
52358What?
52358What?
52358What?
52358What_ revoltosos_?
52358When did you see them?
52358Where does your boy live now?
52358Where have I seen you before?
52358Where is Don Felipe?
52358Where is he?
52358Where is my sentinel? 52358 Where is the_ capitan_?"
52358Where is this Mexican?
52358Where to?
52358Where were_ you_ when I was in danger? 52358 Where you go?"
52358Where you go?
52358Where you going?
52358Where?
52358Who do you think they are?
52358Who goes there?
52358Who is that man?
52358Who was that oldtimer you were talking to?
52358Who''ll go with me to put in another one? 52358 Who''s going to turn Mexican,"questioned De Lancey,"you or me?"
52358Who-- Pancho?
52358Who-- me?
52358Who? 52358 Whose friend?"
52358Why a_ rural_?
52358Why ca n''t you wait a while? 52358 Why did he join the_ rurales_?"
52358Why good?
52358Why you no dig gold?
52358Why, what do you mean?
52358Why, what for?
52358Why, what is the matter with you? 52358 Why, what''s the matter?"
52358Why, you aren''t-- you are n''t jealous, are you, Bud?
52358Why-- what is it?
52358Why-- where''d you get it?
52358Why? 52358 Why?"
52358Will you go?
52358Wo n''t you help me take my horse inside the walls?
52358Wonder what''s the matter with them chinks?
52358Yes, and what are you charged with?
52358Yes, and what did he say then?
52358Yes, yes, to be sure; but have n''t you heard from him?
52358Yes,admitted Bud;"he said he''d try to put up with it-- on account of you-- and--""What?"
52358Yes,she said;"but what will you do if they catch us?"
52358Yes; but how?
52358Yes?
52358You are going, too? 52358 You are in search of your friend-- no?"
52358You ca n''t help palavering''em, can you, Phil?
52358You do love me, do n''t you, Bud?
52358You do n''t trust me any more, do you, Bud?
52358You have been so good to me,she went on,"so brave, and-- have I been brave, too?"
52358You like to work?
52358You live here?
52358You mean you can get along without me?
52358You were such friends, were n''t you?
52358You will not?
52358You will, wo n''t you? 52358 You''d let--""Well, what''s the matter?"
52358Your title to the mine-- no? 52358 _ A donde va?
52358_ Adios!_"Who is that man?
52358_ Buen''!_ He is a cowboy,_ sabe_? 52358 _ Carái!_"exclaimed the officer impatiently,"you are an_ Americano_--no?"
52358_ Dispenseme, señor_,he said,"this is the truth, is it?"
52358_ Insurrectos?_"Like as not,muttered Bud, gazing from encampment to encampment.
52358_ Muchos revoltosos!_"Where?
52358_ Que busca?_the one- eyed one finally inquired.
52358_ Seguro!_assented Bud, rolling over and fumbling for the funny sheet; then, failing to find it instantly, he inquired:"What do you want it for?"
52358_ Y como no?_he inquired.
52358A donde va?_"challenged a bearded man as he sprang up from his brush shelter.
52358A room?
52358All right?"
52358All set?
52358Already it had cost him his pardner-- would it conquer_ his_ will as well and make him forget his trust?
52358Am I a woman of the town, to be stolen by one man or another?
52358And I want you to keep that promise, see?"
52358And I wo n''t go near the Aragon outfit unless you''re with me-- is that a go?
52358And are you looking at mines?"
52358And did they have the courage to do their worst?
52358And did you think, then, to steal a kiss, when my heart was sore for Bud?
52358And do you speak Spanish also?"
52358And not take me?"
52358And now will you take the kiss?"
52358And so the poor Yaqui was only avenging an injury?"
52358And then, finally, what was he going to do about it?
52358And to- morrow?
52358And what did you tell him to do?"
52358And what was gold if he could not have her?
52358And what was it you called him-- Amigo?"
52358And who was he, anyway?
52358And why do you always sit so far away-- are you afraid of me?
52358And why this sullen refusal of the coffee which every Mexican drinks?
52358And yet, why not?
52358Aragon and the_ rural_ were not in sight-- the question was, were they following?
52358Aragon had been comparing them-- but where had he got the worn piece?
52358Are they not the soldiers of Diaz, who have simply changed to another master?
52358Are you game?"
52358Are you game?"
52358Are you going up this way?
52358But did I fall for it?
52358But did n''t I tell you-- didn''t I tell you at the hotel, when you promised to be my friend?
52358But do you know why I do it?
52358But how can we fix her with these ignorant Mexican mechanics?
52358But how could you do that, unless you had been divorced?"
52358But how-- and through whom?
52358But perhaps you are acquainted with a man named Kruger?"
52358But there is a law in this country for every man-- what is it that you want?"
52358But what will happen if-- they get there first?"
52358But where''re you going?"
52358But why should we Sonorans fight side by side with the Federals and_ rurales_?
52358But why this killing haste on the part of Amigo?
52358But will you stick?
52358But"--she paused again, set back by a sudden thought--"didn''t you know he would kill him?"
52358But_ have_ I been brave,"she beamed,"so far?
52358Ca n''t I go to a dance with a girl without you jumping down my throat?"
52358Ca n''t you see how the firing has slackened?
52358Can you get title to mine?"
52358Can you understand that?
52358Come now, you understand my errand-- why make it hard for me?"
52358Come on-- what do you say?
52358Cruz?"
52358D''ye see?
52358D''ye think I''d get an Indian to do my killing?"
52358D''ye think that''s the way a pardner ought to act?
52358Did he ever tell you?"
52358Did n''t I laugh at you?
52358Did n''t you get his proposition?"
52358Did she think he was a_ pelado_ Mexican, a hot- country lover, to be inflamed by a glance and a smile?
52358Did you hear that?
52358Did you notice her hair?
52358Did you notice that game eye?
52358Did you see me bowing to the ladies?
52358Did you tell that Indian to-- to kill him?"
52358Did you think-- oh, you could n''t have-- that I really wanted him killed?"
52358Do n''t know, eh?
52358Do you know why?
52358Do you see my friend over there?"
52358Do you think they''d stop us?"
52358For look, Mr. Hooker, I am promised to marry dear Phil; but how can I manage that when Manuel del Rey is watching me?
52358Got another hunch-- like that one you had up at Agua Negra?"
52358Have I been brave, like a man?"
52358Have n''t I always shown it?
52358Have you not heard?"
52358Have you something that you hold against me?
52358Have you the special permit which is required?"
52358He had neither friends nor kin in town; why, then, should he run so fast to warn them of the enemy?
52358He''s brave, is he?
52358Hello, what''s the Yaqui found?"
52358Hey, Bud,"he called in English,"what would you do to this fellow if he beat us out of the mine?"
52358Him?
52358Hooker?"
52358How about something to eat?"
52358How do I think?"
52358How is this district here for work along our line?"
52358How many men has Bernardo got?"
52358How, then, had the American escaped destruction, and what had occurred to his men?
52358I hope that he has not imposed upon you in any way?"
52358I must be getting foolish, I''m so tired, but-- what_ did_ you tell that Indian?"
52358I remember one time--""Does Cruz Mendez work for him?"
52358I wish now that my mother were here, but-- would you mind?
52358If Philip De Lancey, for making love to a girl, was drafted into the army, what would happen to him if these people should ever break loose?
52358If the''s rebels in the hills, where do we get off?"
52358If they had not stopped to eat, what then was their errand while the sun was sinking so low?
52358Is he not a Mexican citizen?"
52358Is it far?"
52358Is that enough?"
52358Is that what you are thinking?"
52358Is that your idea of helping things along?
52358Is this the way you obey my orders?"
52358Is your saddle all right?
52358It is impossible, is it not?"
52358Jest one more break now and we lose out-- now how about it?"
52358Me?"
52358My name,_ señor_, is Don Cipriano Aragon y Tres Palacios-- and yours?"
52358My pardner and I came clear from the Sierra Madres, riding nights, and we come pretty near knowing-- hey, Bud?"
52358Nice ore, eh?
52358No little toots around town?
52358No serenading the_ señoritas_ and giving the_ rurales_ the hotfoot?
52358No?
52358No?
52358Now how about it?"
52358Now what can I do for you,_ capitan_?"
52358Now-- will you think about it?"
52358Or I might--""Oh, then you_ will_ go, wo n''t you?"
52358Pancho?
52358Say, Bud, there''s a Mexican in here that''s got the jim- jams-- regular_ tequila_ jag-- can''t you get me out?"
52358Say, he''s a shrewd- looking old guinea, is n''t he?
52358Say, let me get them saddle- blankets, will you?"
52358Say, what kind of a feller do you think I am, anyway?
52358Say, why did n''t you put me wise?
52358Skin deer?"
52358So sit down now and think it out-- where''s the joker?"
52358So that is your idea of being true as steel, is it?
52358So you are a Mexican citizen, eh?
52358Some class to that bow-- no?
52358Some old drunk around town?"
52358Spanish?
52358Tell me, how did you happen to have it on your saddle?
52358That she was weak and hungry he knew, but what was this she was saying?
52358That''s enough, ai n''t it?"
52358That''s fair, ai n''t it?"
52358The reputed magic of the swift- firing rifles evidently had been his undoing, but where had he got his new gun?
52358Then I''d have to make a fight for it-- but what would happen to you?"
52358Then why do you look away?
52358There was one thing about the affair that vaguely haunted Hooker-- why was it that a man so cunning as that had failed to load his gun?
52358These here partitions are made of inch boards, covered with paper-- do you get that?
52358Was it over your mine?
52358Well, what''s the use of living, Bud, if you ca n''t have a little fun?
52358Well, what''s the use of talking, then?
52358Well, why do n''t he come down, then, and save you himself?
52358What are you looking for in these parts?"
52358What are you pinched for?"
52358What did he want you to do?"
52358What do I care to be safe?
52358What do you want to make trouble for?"
52358What is a few weeks''bill compared to being held for ransom?
52358What is the proposition, anyway?"
52358What made you think that?"
52358What more natural, then, than that the_ rurales_ should search his pockets and give the ore to Aragon?
52358What you kicking about?"
52358What''s the news downtown?"
52358What''s the use of swearing off-- going on record in advance?
52358What''s the use of winning a stake if you''ve got to eat at a dog- joint?
52358What?"
52358Where are we, anyway?"
52358Where are you staying in town?"
52358Where did you get that meat?"
52358Where were these Mexican soldiers and them Spanish officers when the Yaquis were taking the town?
52358Where were_ you_ when there was no one to save me?
52358Where you find them?"
52358Where you go?"
52358Where''s our friend, Don Juan?
52358Where''s that big fight you was telling about-- the battle of Fortuna?
52358Who are these horsemen behind?"
52358Who can say?"
52358Who do I go and see?"
52358Who''s game now for a song beneath the windows?
52358Why did n''t he let me know?"
52358Why did you never respond when I came there to look for you?
52358Why should we wait?
52358Will that satisfy you?
52358Will you shake hands on it?"
52358Will you shake hands on that?"
52358Would you talk to me instead of standing silent?
52358Yes?
52358You brought her back to me, did n''t you, old man?
52358You came to marry me, did n''t you?
52358You know the_ Tejanos_, eh?
52358You let that boy alone, savvy?"
52358You must know what they''re like-- these old women do n''t think about nothing else-- so what''s the use of talking?
52358You understand that-- no?
52358You who have laughed at the courage of the Mexicans, what do you think of Bernardo Bravo and his men?
52358You''ve done noble by me and Kruger, have n''t you?
52358burst out Bud, hanging his head in embarrassment,"what''s the use of getting mushy?"
52358cried De Lancey ecstatically,"how can I ever thank you enough?
52358cried Hooker incredulously,"with the country full of rebels?
52358have you been out in the hills that long?
52358he asked with flattering solicitude, the better to make him talk,"and is he old enough to understand the pictures?"
52358he railed, as Bud refreshed himself between trips,"ai n''t you going to take any up to those women?
52358he said, and then:"How many children have you, Cruz?"
52358he said;"you see?
52358if Bud here has refused it, will I give a kiss to_ you_?
52358she breathed, still standing close to him,"and will you do it?"
52358she burst out,"did n''t I keep them all waiting while I put on this riding- skirt?
52358she cried with ill- concealed satisfaction,"you do not like me to call him that, do you?
52358was n''t that pulling it a little strong?
52358what''s the matter with you?"
43473Ah, doctor, is that you?
43473Am I going to die at last?
43473And I?
43473And about what did he interrogate him, my child? 43473 And did you leave the camp at daybreak?"
43473And do you know what o''clock it is now?
43473And he is called?
43473And how is she?
43473And if they should make you prisoner?
43473And my mother?
43473And my niece?
43473And so dressed?
43473And the elder?
43473And the general?
43473And those means?
43473And who is this man?
43473And you call it a valuable plant?
43473And you know nothing of their lives?
43473And you, where will you be?
43473And your wife-- do you forget her?
43473And-- what are they?
43473Answer me, then,she said, trembling with emotion;"do you love me?"
43473Are the women of your nation, then, like Indian squaws, who view torture without trembling?
43473Are there no means, then, of preserving us from death?
43473Are we alone?
43473Are we still far from the camp?
43473Are you going to leave us?
43473Are you not afraid of death?
43473Are you not white men? 43473 Are you prepared to conduct us thither?"
43473Are you sure of what you say?
43473Are you sure these hunters come as enemies?
43473At what distance?
43473Be satisfied, I will; but you, what are you going to do?
43473Be warned, Rafaël,he said;"for the last time, will you surrender?"
43473Because I wish you to partake of something I have prepared for you before you mount on horseback; you can not refuse me, can you, dear uncle?
43473But how did you get out of the hands of those devilish redskins?
43473But if your son arrives?
43473But tell me,the mother of Loyal Heart resumed,"when you arrived in the prairies, how did your uncle employ his time?
43473But the name of the man?
43473But we had done nothing to you, had we?
43473But what will be my recompense?
43473But your son?
43473But yourself?
43473But,Belhumeur asked,"is it today-- do you say, old man, that she is to be burnt?"
43473But,Eusebio asked,"the man you have taken-- what do you mean to do with him?"
43473But,said Doña Luz, anxiously,"how shall I know if my uncle be saved or not?"
43473By what right,Frank cried,"does Loyal Heart intercede for us?
43473Can he, then, be unhappy?
43473Come, then; speak out, little pet?
43473Dear mother, what are you saying?
43473Dear uncle, since you regret so much not having a son to whom you could, after you, leave your name, why not adopt Loyal Heart?
43473Did she kill them?
43473Did you know that I was about to come?
43473Did you see,he said,"who marched at the head of the hunters?"
43473Do n''t you think so?
43473Do they like honey, then?
43473Do you draw back, or are you thinking about betraying us?
43473Do you feel yourself able to walk? 43473 Do you find it so?"
43473Do you know a trapper named Black Elk?
43473Do you know one more suitable?
43473Do you know the two hunters who rendered us such timely service?
43473Do you know where my troop is encamped?
43473Do you speak seriously?
43473Do you swear to be faithful to your engagements?
43473Do you think so?
43473Do you think so?
43473Do you wish it?
43473Does my brother find himself comfortable with the redskins?
43473Does my mother feel herself sufficiently recovered to be fastened to the stake?
43473Does not my mother hear me?
43473Does not the life of a mother belong to her child?
43473For once you speak out; now we know what we have to trust to; you demand five thousand dollars?
43473For what purpose, señorita?
43473Forgotten what?
43473Gone?
43473Has Loyal Heart forgotten the visit I paid him three days ago?
43473Has anything serious taken place at the camp, then?
43473Has my brother cause to complain of anyone?
43473Has not my son returned yet?
43473Have you anything more to say to me, general?
43473Have you forgotten where you are, miserable scoundrel?
43473Have you many Mexicans among your companions?
43473Have you no guides with you, then?
43473He will come presently?
43473How can I ever acquit myself towards her and her noble son? 43473 How can I tell, mother?"
43473How can you dream of such a thing?
43473How could I tell I should meet that cursed trapper there?
43473How do you know that, my child?
43473How do you know that?
43473How does my brother know that?
43473How has this happened?
43473How long will it take us to arrive there?
43473How only lately?
43473How so, dear?
43473How so?
43473How so?
43473How so?
43473How the devil can you expect me to advise you? 43473 How the devil can you tell that?"
43473How this?
43473How, to none?
43473I am calm,she replied,"why should you feign a pity you do not feel?
43473I am here; it was impossible to arrive sooner; my mother is free, I suppose?
43473I am playing no double game; but I think you and I have known each other a pretty considerable time, Kennedy, have we not?
43473I am thankful to the chief,she said;"but since he is good enough to take interest in our welfare, will he permit me to ask him a favour?"
43473I believe you,she said; then after a pause she added,"What is become of him?"
43473I can conceive that, my child; but what do you wish me to do to make it otherwise?
43473I do not draw back, and I have not the least intention of betraying you, only----"Only?
43473I hope that the young lady who came to visit my hatto yesterday, in company with her uncle, is well? 43473 I should be most glad to do so, but how?"
43473I understand,she said with a charming smile;"now that, thanks to you, we are saved, you have nothing more to do here,--is it not so?"
43473In an instant,said the Comanche quietly; and turning to the woman,"What is the name of the warrior of the palefaces?"
43473In this world who can flatter himself with being happy? 43473 In what direction?"
43473In what place would you wish, señor, the señorita''s tent to be pitched?
43473Is he dead, then?
43473Is he not, uncle?
43473Is it agreed?
43473Is it far?
43473Is it for the purpose of uttering these commonplaces that you have required my presence here, sir? 43473 Is it not?"
43473Is it not?
43473Is it then such a very valuable plant?
43473Is that all?
43473Is that unpleasant to you?
43473Is there anything fresh?
43473Is there still time, then?
43473Is this really all?
43473Let us consider, then, what is best to be done? 43473 Loyal Heart,"the young lady said, softly,"will you then abandon me to the mercy of this bandit?
43473My brother is foolish,the hunter replied;"does he think me so unskilful that I could not have killed him, if such had been my intention?
43473My dear doctor,she said, in a sweet but weak voice,"are you willing to render me a great service?"
43473My kind uncle, shall I not always be happy while near you?
43473My mistress, Doña Luz?
43473No,said Loyal Heart,"it is Nô Eusebio; what can this mean?
43473Now then, how long does the general reckon upon remaining in this new encampment?
43473Now, I suppose, you have finished?
43473Now, uncle,she said at length,"what is your intention?"
43473Now,Belhumeur continued with a sinister smile,"let us talk a bit; I think I have equalized the chances a little-- what say you?"
43473Now?
43473Of Loyal Heart?
43473Of what consequence is that to you?
43473Of what importance is that to you? 43473 Of what use is it, then?"
43473Of what use is it?
43473Of what use would it be to repeat to you a name which, according to all probability, is unknown to you, and which can not interest you? 43473 Ought I not to watch over everything that belongs to you with the same zeal as if it were my own?"
43473Shall I accompany you, señor?
43473Shall I watch?
43473Shall they belong to me?
43473She may go where she pleases?
43473So,he asked,"Captain Aguilar was killed, was he?"
43473Thank you,the girl replied joyfully;"one word more?"
43473That is something strange,the general murmured;"are you sure of what you are telling me?"
43473That is true, let us be gone; but the captain, what have you done with him?
43473That is true,said the general;"but,"he added,"how do you set about this chase?
43473That is true; but what do you aim at?
43473That may be possible; but if they should wake?
43473The bears?
43473The name of my assassin?
43473The name of that man?
43473Then shall we depart soon?
43473Then the perils of last night have left no distressing impression upon your mind, my dear child?
43473Then you wo n''t tell me what you are doing?
43473Then,the general continued, following up the idea of his preoccupation,"the life we are now leading is not fatiguing to you?"
43473This is what Doña Luz begged me to repeat to you----"Was it Doña Luz that sent you to me?
43473This sort of life pleases you then?
43473To go in search of intelligence, no doubt?
43473To look after our traps,_ caramba!_ do you think I will lose them?
43473To what Indian tribe does this man belong?
43473Was it Amick( Black Elk), the principal guardian of Loyal Heart''s traps?
43473We have some traps near here, I believe?
43473Well done, Frank, and who are these Indians?
43473Well, and then?
43473Well, but what are they?
43473Well, captain,said the general, with a smile,"have you recovered from the effects of their alarm?"
43473Well, then, darling, what are these means?
43473Well, uncle, these means----"These means are?
43473Well?
43473What ails thee, my child? 43473 What are the white men doing?"
43473What are their names?
43473What are they about now?
43473What are those men?
43473What are you doing?
43473What are you doing?
43473What are you laughing at, you little witch?
43473What are your conditions?
43473What are your names?
43473What can be done against the will of God?
43473What did he mean by what he said?
43473What do you ask?
43473What do you do then?
43473What do you mean by that?
43473What do you mean by that?
43473What do you mean by that?
43473What do you mean by that?
43473What do you mean to do?
43473What do you mean, dear uncle?
43473What do you mean?
43473What do you require of me?
43473What do you want with, me, my friend?
43473What does all this mean, niece? 43473 What does all this mean?"
43473What does my brother say now?
43473What does my brother say? 43473 What does that concern you, madam?"
43473What does the chief mean?
43473What does this mean? 43473 What does this mean?"
43473What does this mean?
43473What else can they be?
43473What follows? 43473 What follows?"
43473What follows?
43473What have you done with him?
43473What is all this verbiage to us?
43473What is become of him?
43473What is going on?
43473What is it?
43473What is that woman to him, then?
43473What is that?
43473What is the matter with you, Don Gustavio?
43473What is the matter, Nô Eusebio? 43473 What is the matter?"
43473What is there fresh, doctor?
43473What is there new?
43473What is to be done, then?
43473What is to be done?
43473What is to be done?
43473What is to be done?
43473What is to be done?
43473What is to be said for it, señorita?
43473What matters it to you? 43473 What mischief are you talking about?"
43473What more do you want with me?
43473What shall I say to him?
43473What should you do that for?
43473What the devil, perhaps all is not lost?
43473What then?
43473What then?
43473What time will it require to gain this spot?
43473What will you do, my son?
43473What would you do?
43473What''s going on now?
43473What''s the good of that? 43473 What''s the matter with our rastreros?"
43473What''s the use of asking him anything now?
43473What''s to be done?
43473Whence come these thoughts to your mind, dear child?
43473Where are we going, señora?
43473Where are you going so late?
43473Where are you going?
43473Where is that which I demanded of the chief?
43473Which of them?
43473Which way would you wish to direct your course, today, general?
43473Who are you?
43473Who else could it be?
43473Who knows?
43473Who, I? 43473 Why did you lead them to the beaver pond, then?"
43473Why do you defer my death? 43473 Why do you pause?"
43473Why have you never told me of this place before?
43473Why not, fair lady?
43473Why not?
43473Why not?
43473Why not?
43473Why should I live?
43473Why should I not be gay, uncle? 43473 Why so?
43473Why so?
43473Why that question?
43473Why, ca n''t you see, my friend?
43473Why, then, did you tell me that you did not know how to draw the young girl out, having so much time before you?
43473Why?
43473Will my brother give them up to me?
43473Yes, but where is the captain? 43473 You are going back to the grotto?"
43473You are leaving the camp?
43473You get on horseback then? 43473 You have no son to whom you can bequeath your name and your immense fortune, have you, uncle?"
43473You have saved the life of my niece,said the general warmly;"how shall I discharge my debt to you?"
43473You know dependence is to be placed upon my word?
43473You know me, do you not?
43473You know them, my daughter?
43473You remember,he said,"that you yesterday manifested an intention of finding a spot where we might conveniently encamp for a few days?"
43473You swear to do what I ask of you?
43473You take great interest in him, then?
43473You told me you were acquainted with a situation that would perfectly suit our purpose?
43473You will not scold me, uncle?
43473You will save them, will you not?
43473You?
43473Your wounds appear slight; are they progressing towards cure?
43473_ Cascaras!_ what for? 43473 _ Wah!_"said the chief, in a still more amiable manner,"this renowned warrior must have a name respected through the prairies?"
43473After having waited some minutes for a reply to her question,"Don Ramón,"she repeated,"what have you done with my son?"
43473And it was only for the purpose of pulling up herbs in this manner that you came into the prairie?"
43473And then, what had he to dread in coming a second time amongst his enemies?
43473And then, what remedy could be employed?
43473And where are the Comanches at this moment?"
43473And you ask me if it is valuable?"
43473Are you wounded?"
43473As the major- domo passed the last, with a bow, before his master, the latter asked him:"Well, Nô Eusebio, how many heads do we count this year?"
43473Belhumeur replied, apparently convinced;"but where are we going now?"
43473Belhumeur respected the grief of his friend-- indeed what consolation could he offer him?
43473Belhumeur,"the grandfather asked my guide, who, seated beside me, was vigorously employing his fork,"have you found the track of the jaguar?"
43473But a woman, weak and resigned, presenting herself like a lamb to the shambles, already half dead, what interest could such an execution offer?
43473But how was she to see him again?
43473But she must no longer be left in these mortal doubts; where is your horse?"
43473But upon whom?
43473But what was to be done?
43473But what was to become of her in this desert, where nothing was to be met with but wild beasts, and still more ferocious Indians?
43473But why should I flatter myself with wild chimeras?
43473Can I tell what is going on here so as to tell you what you must do?"
43473Can it be that my brother is a slave?"
43473Could I, after that, arrest the son of the man who had saved my life at the peril of his own?
43473Did he not hold the general in his power?
43473Do n''t you know it is not far from midnight?"
43473Do you clearly understand me?"
43473Do you know him?"
43473Do you not recognise me?
43473Do you not?"
43473Do you recollect?"
43473Does he fancy that we are not men?
43473Does he fear I should understand his words?"
43473Does not the law of the prairies say,''an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?''
43473For what object were these explorations made, at the end of which a greater degree of sadness darkened his countenance?
43473Has he not his mate?"
43473Has he returned?"
43473Has not the hunter come?"
43473Have I spoken well, men of power?"
43473Have I spoken well, men of power?"
43473Have you any good news to give us?
43473Have you received any bad news?"
43473He bowed slightly to the chiefs ranged before him, and addressed Belhumeur in a firm voice,--"Where is the girl?"
43473He had stood thus for some time, when a soft voice murmured in his ear--"What is the matter, my son?
43473He is alone; can anything have happened to my mother?"
43473How can you have the audacity to present yourself among us at the head of a set of brigands?"
43473How could a young girl, accustomed to all the comforts of life, support the hazards of this existence of privations?
43473How could they possibly resist such a number of adversaries?
43473How is it, then, they are met with here?"
43473How long did it last?
43473How long have you been an inhabitant of the prairies?"
43473I am listening to you; what have you to say to me?"
43473I did not know when you would require her to be delivered up to you?"
43473I have spoken: have I spoken well, men of power?"
43473I know their chief then?"
43473I mean, are you able to walk a distance?"
43473I must confess it appeared rather obscure to me, I could not fancy what it meant; but you will explain it, will you not?"
43473In fact, what could they do against these intrepid wood rangers, who reckoned life as nothing?
43473Is it just that we should suffer their rapine without complaining?
43473Is my conduct just?
43473Is not that your opinion, Don Rafaël?"
43473Is that all you desire of me?"
43473Is this the manner in which you execute my orders?"
43473Justice was then about to be done?
43473Kill them?
43473Knowing that you had the Babbler for a guide, he suspects that the half- breed intends to draw you into some snare?
43473Let my father reply; let my brothers say if that is just?"
43473Loyal Heart cried, springing towards him, and endeavouring to raise him up;"what are you doing?"
43473My father has spoken like a wise man; what think you of it, my brothers?"
43473Now that, I think, is the wisest course we can take; what do you think of it?"
43473Now, had the worthy_ savant_ any secret intelligence with Eagle Head?
43473Now, what do you think of all that?"
43473Now, what is to be done?
43473Of what consequence is my life to me, a poor lad without a family, who owes everything to your kindness?
43473On which side must we introduce ourselves into the camp?"
43473Only see, what a fine opportunity you have lost?
43473Ought I to be blamed?
43473Retire,"said the warrior, dismissing the messenger with a nod of the head; then, addressing the hunter, he asked,"What is to be done?"
43473Shall we allow ourselves to be slaughtered like timid ashahas without seeking to avenge ourselves?
43473Shall we never get there?"
43473Shall you remember these words?"
43473She hoped, then?
43473Thanks to God?
43473The guide closed his eyes, collected himself for a few seconds, and then, with great effort, said,--"Give me some brandy?"
43473The pale woman and the grey head?"
43473Then pulling his cloak tighter round him, he asked,--"Are the arms all loaded?"
43473These wounds that you see me bear, who inflicted them?
43473This is what has happened: Last night one of our guides----""The Babbler?"
43473We were twelve men against four hundred savages; what could we do?
43473What am I to do?
43473What can be thought of a boy who, at so tender an age, is endowed with the instincts of a wild beast?
43473What could I do with them?"
43473What could have become of the girl?
43473What did he want amidst his most implacable enemies?
43473What do you purpose doing with the twenty prisoners who are now in your hands?
43473What for?
43473What have you to say in your defence?"
43473What is to be done, then?"
43473What next?"
43473What probability was there in it?
43473What reason sufficiently strong had been able to induce him to commit the imprudence of delivering himself up?
43473What say my brothers?
43473What should I do here now?
43473What then?"
43473What vermin do you mean?"
43473What was he doing during the long hours of his absence?
43473What was the object of this journey, and why had her uncle so positively insisted upon her making it with him?
43473When you arrived in the prairies, whence did you come?"
43473Where is this man?
43473Who has tied poor Trim up in this fashion?"
43473Who the devil has treated him in this fashion?"
43473Why are your features clouded with such sadness?
43473Why did you betray us, you miserable wretch?"
43473Why did you come then?"
43473Why did you not come all together, instead of you by yourself?
43473Why do you hesitate?
43473Why should you torture my mother, who is an old woman, and seek to deprive me of life?
43473Why then do you make war against us?
43473Why, then, did you save me?"
43473Why?
43473Will you conduct them to the stone villages of the great white hearts of the East?
43473Will you have confidence in me now?"
43473Will you release them that they may continue their life of murder and rapine?
43473Will you replace for me the family I have lost?
43473Will you, once for all, allow me to speak?"
43473With that object could Loyal Heart, after having saved her, so quickly have departed?
43473Would the captain venture to come?
43473Yes or no-- do you accept the offer I make you?"
43473Yes; I see you are amusing yourself with pulling up the weeds of the prairie, that is all; and I should like to know what for?"
43473You are no longer so gay as when we set out; whence comes this sudden change?"
43473You are not the principal chief, are you?"
43473You have nothing more to say to me?"
43473You require a victim, do you not?
43473You understand that, do you not?"
43473and what is going on here?"
43473and why do they always seek to deceive the redskins?"
43473answer me, Loyal Heart, will you be to me a son?"
43473are there bees here?"
43473but, in that case what will he do?"
43473cried Black Elk, with warmth;"can you really be on good terms with the Indians?"
43473cried the general, shaking the arm of the guide violently,"will you leave us to be burnt thus, without making an effort to save us?"
43473dear uncle,"she replied, in a plaintive tone;"how can I be otherwise than sad after all that has happened within the last few days?
43473do I ever scold you?"
43473do they fancy themselves capable of catching us, if we wished to escape from them?"
43473has not my life already been long enough?"
43473have you already killed the jaguars, chief?"
43473he asked,"how are your patients going on?"
43473he asked;"are you ill?"
43473he cried, as he re- entered the hacienda,"is it possible that my chastisement has already commenced?"
43473he muttered to himself,"what does this mean?
43473he said in English,"Who the devil are you-- and what are you seeking here?"
43473he said to the doctor,"what are you doing there, my good sir?
43473he said, addressing the young lady,"are you sure you miss nothing, señora?"
43473he said, holding out to him a hand which the other pressed warmly hut silently,"have I reason to rejoice or to be still sad at your presence?"
43473he said,"of what consequence is my being a prisoner?
43473he said,"what does all this mean?"
43473he said,"what is passing in your little head?
43473he said;"you are dull and preoccupied; do you begin to be tired of us?"
43473how acknowledge, as I ought, the immense services he has rendered me?"
43473how acquit myself towards him?
43473how can you tell me to do so, mother?
43473how is that?"
43473in that way----""Then that arrangement suits you?"
43473murmured the officer to himself,"what is this fellow doing here?"
43473my good fellow,"said the captain, in a jeering tone,"what madness possesses you to be herbalizing thus at all hours of the day and night?"
43473or was his proposition anything more than a rodomontade?
43473said Eagle Head, with a sinister smile,"I knew that well enough: why have the palefaces two hearts and two tongues?
43473said the Negro, who, up to this moment had remained silent,"am I not able to carry my master when he can walk no longer?"
43473said the captain, knitting his brows;"do you imagine that I give up my projects in that fashion?"
43473said the captain, shrugging his shoulders,"do you take me for a butcher?
43473said the captain,"numerous?"
43473said the general, whose brows became contracted;"do you know what you ask me, my dear child?"
43473said the general,"has today''s journey fatigued you much, my dear niece?"
43473said the general,"what extraordinary thing has happened, Master Babbler, to induce you to speak?"
43473said the hunter,"what does this mean?
43473said the old man,"are you sure of that?"
43473said the pirate;"what game are we playing now?"
43473said the stranger, with a smile of contempt, as he advanced towards them,"you recognise me, my masters, do you?
43473save myself and leave you?"
43473she cried with terror;"why burn me?"
43473she cried, joyfully,"can it be possible?"
43473she repeated, smothering him with kisses;"leave me to die in your place; ought not a mother to give her life for her child?"
43473she said with terror,"will you then become his executioner?"
43473that is pretty well played, is it not?"
43473that they may carry off your wives, steal your horses, and kill your brothers?
43473that tortures will be able to draw from us cries and complaints unworthy of us?
43473the Indian interrupted in an angry tone;"why does my white brother speak before me in an unknown tongue?
43473the captain murmured, angrily;"have my rascals allowed themselves to be surprised?"
43473the captain muttered;"What new devil''s trick have these demons invented?"
43473the doctor cried, eyeing him with an expression of terror,"you should be careful; do you know you might have killed me?"
43473the doctor replied gallantly, as he wiped his brow,"Do you not find the heat very oppressive?"
43473the doctor replied,"what do you mean by that?"
43473the mayoral murmured to himself, biting, without thinking of doing so, the end of his extinguished cigarette,"what will be the end of all this?
43473the other said, withdrawing his pipe quickly from his mouth;"and who are the Indians who have dared to steal the traps marked with my cipher?"
43473the pirate replied, with haughty irony;"what have you to ask of him?
43473the poor mother cried, rushing towards her son, whom she folded closely in her arms,"will no one come to my succour?"
43473the son of my mother is a great hunter, is he?
43473there is some use in it, then?"
43473time passes, will he never come?"
43473was I mistaken?"
43473were you there, dear child?"
43473what do you mean by that?"
43473what do you mean?"
43473what do you want with me?"
43473what fearful news are you going to communicate to me, my friend?"
43473what for?"
43473what will the general say?"
43473who knows?"
43473why did you not attack us, then?"
43473why do you not come to me as quickly as possible, instead of wasting your time like an idiot?
43473why have you come?"
43473why should I not do it?
43473you do not know?"
43473you insult me,"the young lady interrupted, drawing herself up haughtily:"what can there be in common between me and the leader of bandits?"
43473you were listening to us, Captain Waktehno, were you?"
43473you will not do so?"
43473you?"
7496About what time will we get to my uncle''s place?
7496Ai n''t got any more of''em there, have you, Professor?
7496Ai n''t no mesmerizer, are you?
7496And the miner believed him?
7496Any luck?
7496Any objection to me going along?
7496Any of the other fellows going along?
7496Any trouble?
7496Anybody hurt?
7496Are there burglars?
7496Are they brigands, like you read about?
7496Are they going to report it?
7496Are you a private detective?
7496Are you all right, Nat?
7496Are you all right?
7496Are you going to leave him here?
7496Are you hurt, John?
7496Are you sure you had no hand in it?
7496Are you trying to say a pair of gum shoes?
7496Are-- you-- hurt?
7496Be ye dead, Tobias?
7496Boning away?
7496But I do n''t exactly un- d- d- d- erstand how it it h- h- h- appened?
7496But how do you suppose he knew the train was going to stop?
7496But if you know where to send him a message, why ca n''t you tell us how to reach him?
7496But what made''em& o?
7496But who was the man who chased him, and gave you back your diamond?
7496Ca n''t John and Nat go along?
7496Ca n''t we go hunting''em?
7496Ca n''t we go?
7496Can Martin have forgotten to sound the tocsin? 7496 Can we have regular horses while we''re here?"
7496Can you shoot?
7496Can you two stand a hundred mile ride on horseback?
7496Careful about what?
7496Cows?
7496Did Mr. Kent say you are to have''em?
7496Did he bite you?
7496Did he find out he was fooled?
7496Did he get away?
7496Did he get our money?
7496Did n''t I see you just bring this?
7496Did n''t he make a row?
7496Did n''t really lose anything, did you?
7496Did some one hold you up and try to rob you?
7496Did you get lost?
7496Did you get the rings?
7496Did you hear the latest?
7496Do I know who has? 7496 Do I put it at the head or foot?"
7496Do I? 7496 Do n''t s''pose they''ll get a flogging do you?"
7496Do n''t you see the train?
7496Do you accuse all of them?
7496Do you feel anything queer in your bones?
7496Do you mean it?
7496Do you need quinine?
7496Do you promise by the great seal of the United States?
7496Do you really shoot oil wells, with nitroglycerine, the way I''ve read about?
7496Do you see my drift, as the snow bank said to the wind?
7496Do you think I ca n''t find him?
7496Do you think Mr. Tevis will have some news of my father?
7496Do you think he''s dead?
7496Do you think they''ll hurt us?
7496Do you think we are any further along the trail, or have we just traveled in a bigger circle?
7496Do you want to fight?
7496Do you want to run us down?
7496Ever see the Chicago stock yards?
7496Everything all right?

7496Have you got anything to disguise your voice, Nat?
7496Have you got him, John?
7496Have you got it?
7496Have you the emblems?
7496He always has his mouth- organ, or how could he speak?
7496He did n''t lead us into a trap, did he? 7496 He is, eh?
7496He''s not going to fight a duel with Professor Garlach, is he?
7496How about it?

7496How''d you get away?

7496I wonder what they thought when they saw the fire coming their way?
7496I wonder where we are?
7496If it could be, under certain conditions, are you able to fulfill those conditions?
7496If the president is not the proper person to ask will you kindly tell me who is?
7496In for it on account of that Klu- Klux business?
7496Is he safe?
7496Is it goin''to pay?

7496The one where Loony Pete was trampled to death?
7496Then if you did n''t, who did?
7496Then they did n''t get frightened?

7496Why did n''t you tell us you could rope a steer and handle a cow pony?
7496Why did n''t you yell for help?
7496Why do n''t you look where you''re going?
7496Why, anything on?
7496Why?
7496Will it make much of an explosion?

7496Will you speak to him about the old man?
7496Will you tell me how to find this man in Fillmore, who knows how to take that letter?
7496Will you wait here until then?
7496Wood- e!-Wood- e?
7496Work? 7496 Yes, what is there strange in that?"
7496You boys going far?
7496You call me a frog- eater- r- r- r- r?
7496You can?
7496You do n''t think I''d risk another suspension with graduation so near, do you?
7496You found it in Mr. Grimm''s room as you swept it out?
7496You left a message for Enos Hardy?
7496You mean not try to escape at all?
7496You mean that southern society that made such a stir during the Civil War?
7496You''re not going to be taken in by one of those foolish clairvoyants, are you?
7496You''re not going to be three to one, are you?
7496You''ve heard of Old Smelts, have n''t you?
7496You''ve heard of the Klu- Klux- Klan, I suppose?
7496You-- you do n''t mean to fight a duel, do you?
7496Your bag of gold?
7496Zen you mean zat I tells a lie?
7496''Sthmatterithfoolinem?"
7496All at once Jack, who was ahead exclaimed:"Does n''t that tree look familiar?"
7496And did you bring the boys with you?"
7496And what are the others doing?"
7496And when you demand their money or their lives how would you say it?"
7496Anything special?"
7496Arnica, was n''t it?
7496As Nat swung up along side of Jack he asked:"What makes you so anxious about that old man?"
7496Besides you''re going right on, are n''t you?"
7496But now where can I find Orion Tevis and learn where my father is?"
7496CHAPTER X A MEETING WITH CHOWDEN"Studying or talking?"
7496CHAPTER XI A GRAND WIND UP"What''s the matter?"
7496CHAPTER XXI FINDING ORION TEVIS"What''s the matter?"
7496Can you tell me where to find him?"
7496Come along to see fair play?"
7496Could the maddened and frightened steers be halted before they plunged over the cliffs?
7496Could they stop the rush?
7496Did n''t you get my letter?"
7496Did n''t you hear Sid tell?
7496Did they fire you?"
7496Did you have a good ride?"
7496Did you notice how excited he was about the ring?
7496Did you take my money, you black rascal?"
7496Do n''t you know how to ride on a car?"
7496Do you see''em, John?"
7496Do you understand?"
7496Have n''t any more of''em up your sleeve, have you?"
7496Have we missed the train?"
7496Have you any chemicals in your room, Jack?"
7496Have you anything to say?"
7496How about you?"
7496How did it happen?
7496How did you land on him, John?"
7496How did you think of it?"
7496How long before they''ll be here, Budge?"
7496How long were they to be hidden under the white vail?
7496I do n''t suppose you boys are in any great rush, are you?"
7496I mean do n''t you feel as if you wanted to do something?"
7496I say, Jack, you do n''t s''pose he''s in with the gang, do you?"
7496I wonder if Dr. Mead knows it?"
7496I wonder who did it, and what for?"
7496I''m sure they are some of the bad men who tried to get my father, or else how would they know about the rings?"
7496Is he alive?
7496Is he one of those religious fanatics?"
7496It''s easy when you know how, is n''t it?"
7496John?"
7496Liggins?"
7496Now what''s the matter with a couple of us disguising ourselves as burglars and going into their rooms about midnight?
7496Now, do n''t you think you have a pretty hard task ahead of you?"
7496Post?"
7496Say did n''t they come down off that bank sailing, though?"
7496See, do n''t you recognize me?"
7496So you are Jack Ranger?"
7496Suddenly, from the gathering darkness, there sounded a challenge:"Who''s there?"
7496THE ROUND- UP-- CONCLUSION CHAPTER I FUN AT WASHINGTON HALL"Now then, are you all ready?"
7496Tevis?"
7496Then Mr. Hall demanded:"Who''s there?"
7496Then, as the door at the farther end of the room opened, allowing light from the hall to come in, a voice asked:"What''s the matter?''
7496Then, as three figures emerged from the shadows and blocked his path, he exclaimed:"Oh, it''s you, is it, Jerry Chowden?
7496Vat iss it now?"
7496Want to see me?"
7496Wanterbe a detective?"
7496Was Jack''s father there?
7496Was it occupied?
7496Was you wantin''anything?"
7496We''ll go with you; eh, John?"
7496Well, what do you want?"
7496What do you boys say to a trip out on Lake Erie?
7496What do you say?"
7496What do you think about him, Jim?"
7496What does it smell like?"
7496What else can I do?"
7496What is that?"
7496What was it you were pretending to put on your ankle last night, Ranger?
7496What''s that?"
7496What''s that?"
7496When they were almost in the van a voice hailed them:"Where you boys going?"
7496Where are you?"
7496Where did you get it?"
7496Where did you get it?"
7496Where does your train stop, Will?"
7496Where is this ranch?"
7496Where''d you come from?"
7496Where''s the compass?"
7496Who are you?"
7496Who are your friends?
7496Who comes?"
7496Would he be in time to see him alive?
7496Would he find his father?
7496Would it be successful?
7496Would it never rise?
7496You did n''t see any of''em scattered back along the trail, did you, Jack?"
7496You have perhaps heard of the celebrated Indian manifestation of making a plant grow in a few hours?"
7496You say his address is at the Capital Bank?"
7496You tell me the land stealers ca n''t find the shack, so what else is there to worry about?"
7496asked Jack, as the two"burglars"came within hailing distance,"what did they do to you?"
7496he exclaimed,"Have you any news of my father?
39238''And what has he done it for?'' 39238 ''Is_ that_ all?''
39238''Who?'' 39238 A Negro woman?"
39238A contest on Orlean''s place? 39238 A sense of humor?"
39238A son?
39238A sort of cabaret?
39238A suit-- want to obtain a judgment?
39238A-- ah-- how are you?
39238Ah-- ha-- who-- who-- who is th- is?
39238Ai n''t I done outlined it right?
39238And I venture to say that you have just about raised yourself?
39238And did you wonder at my calling your name that night?
39238And for that, for all that I have sacrificed, what am I given? 39238 And how about the women?
39238And how are the crops?
39238And how did you come to meet him, daughter?
39238And how is Orlean?
39238And how is everybody?
39238And how is everything about the home, my son?
39238And how long have you been here?
39238And how''s hubby?
39238And is it not a fact that Mrs. Pruitt as well as your daughter, explained it all at the time with satisfaction to you?
39238And last summer you recall how it rained?
39238And my plans are that you go over there, and see her?
39238And she paid for it out of her own money?
39238And since you have asked me, may I explain?
39238And so you are sued for ten thousand dollars,said the attorney,"and by your son- in- law?"
39238And the name?
39238And the rest of the family?
39238And then, forsooth, it must have been your daughter''s husband who was instrumental in saving the place for her?
39238And what did I do to him?
39238And what do you mean? 39238 And what do you think of him, my dear?"
39238And what followed?
39238And when you arrived you found her dead near the door, while your father lay murdered in the bed?
39238And when you arrived, what happened? 39238 And when_ did_ you receive my letter?
39238And where is my friend, Baptiste?
39238And you are not worth ten thousand?
39238And you can not possibly wait until next week?
39238And you could not pay it?
39238And you have me here and are caring for me?
39238And you would like to see this Jean Baptiste?
39238And you-- you have noticed it yourself?
39238And you?
39238And you?
39238And yours?
39238And, why, mama, do the preachers have no time for little boys? 39238 And-- ah, would it be possible for me to see and consult with him?"
39238And-- and-- you have no more to report?
39238And-- can''t you understand it, either?
39238And-- you-- you-- have just come?
39238Another beer, Cap''n?
39238Any coal?
39238Any evidence of a struggle?
39238Anything else?
39238Are n''t you coming down to supper, Orlean?
39238Because what, dear?
39238But I do n''t see the joke?
39238But I have guessed correctly, have n''t I?
39238But how came you with money? 39238 But how could you have missed the train so often?"
39238But is that the fault of protestantism?
39238But it was-- er, rather-- a little irregular, was it not? 39238 But we do n''t understand?"
39238But what-- what became of their mother?
39238But why did n''t you explain that Bill could stay home?
39238But you are going away, dear, and will surely need money?
39238But you did n''t come from there today-- this afternoon? 39238 But you have n''t answered my question?"
39238But you''re engaged?
39238But you_ did n''t_ see him come out of the house?
39238But, Agnes, how came you here? 39238 But, mama, why?"
39238But-- Agnes,_ why_?
39238But-- but-- why-- for_ me_?
39238By the way, Jean, why do n''t you marry my sister?
39238Ca n''t you loan the old man the money?
39238Can your father not understand, Orlean,he complained, with a deep frown,"that I can not accept his charity?
39238Come to what?
39238Could n''t dissuade him, eh?
39238Did he give reasons?
39238Did he say I could get up soon?
39238Did he?
39238Did it last until after you had left your bed?
39238Did n''t I say hush? 39238 Did you crawl through all that storm?"
39238Did you ever know a Negro preacher that was worth such an amount?
39238Did you exchange any words with him when you met him? 39238 Did you have any conversation with Baptiste after the trial in which he sued your father- in- law?"
39238Did you hear how he abused your father?
39238Did you hear me, Aggie?
39238Did you hear that, daughter?
39238Did you hear the news?
39238Did you love the man you were engaged to?
39238Did you understand the words or any words he muttered?
39238Do I look all right, mama?
39238Do I think so?
39238Do n''t they?
39238Do n''t what?
39238Do n''t you know that I have longed to see you, and that it has not been just right that I could not?
39238Do you believe these statements?
39238Do you happen to be acquainted with a family here by the name of McCarthy?
39238Do you love me, Orlean?
39238Do you recall it?
39238Do you recall the day when I forgot, dear,_ The Custom of the Country-- and its law_?
39238Do you recall, Mrs. Glavis, whether she screamed long, or whether it was brief?
39238Do you reckon your father understood the love that was between us?
39238Do you recognize my voice?
39238Do you think so?
39238Ever heard of State Street?
39238Expression?
39238For me?
39238From your father, you mean?
39238Granting that he secured a judgment?
39238Has a doctor been here?
39238Has she told you what I have been doing to her?
39238Has some one come between you?
39238Have I spoken rightly?
39238Have I, now, really?
39238Have truly forgotten that you are_ an Ethiopian_, and_ must share_ what is Ethiopia''s?
39238Have you ever considered the outcome in case he should get a judgment against you? 39238 Have you heard the rest of it?"
39238Have you rented your place yet?
39238Have you tried elsewhere, father?
39238He farms with his parents?
39238He was?
39238Her? 39238 His grandmother?
39238How are you, anyhow?
39238How could I forget it?
39238How did they come to extend the note, father?
39238How did you come to discover it, lady?
39238How did you come to get kicked, Jean?
39238How did_ you_ know it had just been committed?
39238How do you account for him having done so-- if so?
39238How do you feel? 39238 How do you like it in our country?"
39238How do you like it?
39238How is everything back home?
39238How is she?
39238How is that-- did you say that you_ drank_?
39238How long after Baptiste left was it, before you followed?
39238How long after the door slammed was it before your husband came?
39238How long after you heard her scream was it before you came out of the room-- your room?
39238How many of them?
39238How shall we explain in regards to Bill?...
39238How so?
39238How so?
39238How''s Doc?
39238How''s that?
39238How''s your neighbors across the road? 39238 How-- what kind of animal is it?"
39238Hurt?
39238I ask what you are doing at my house?
39238I can not understand?
39238I do n''t quite understand?
39238I have never lied to you, have I?
39238I have?
39238I think you have met him, have you not?
39238I wonder what he is doing here?
39238I wonder what he''s been saying to Orlean?
39238If it is quite fair, may I ask where or how your father came by such a name?
39238In New York?
39238In fact she was screaming still when you arrived at the door of the room, no doubt?
39238In what position, Orlean?
39238Is Miss Irene at home?
39238Is it not possible that when you heard the door slam, that it was your husband coming in?
39238Is it so, Jean? 39238 Is it-- it-- a_ woman_?"
39238Is it_ you_?
39238Is n''t it beautiful, Agnes? 39238 Is n''t it the truth, oh, my God, how can those people be so mean?"
39238Is n''t it warm tonight?
39238Is that all she received?
39238Is that so?
39238Is that so?
39238Is this the Greys home?
39238Is this you?
39238Is_ that all_ you saw?
39238Is_ this_ a fact?
39238It is not so?
39238It was not you?
39238Jean?
39238M- m. Was that the first time you had seen him?
39238M- m. You say this was your daughter''s place entirely?
39238M- m."How much do you plan seeding this season?
39238M- m."How old is he-- a young man?
39238M- m?
39238May I consult with your wife?
39238May I take your hat?
39238McCarthy?
39238Me?
39238Me?
39238Meaning that since she had gone and taken the land, you were morally bound to look into and consider the matter favorably?
39238Mother?
39238My folks?
39238My wheat?
39238Now I wish you would explain how you could be at fault for this contest upon your place, and why your husband accuses you of such?
39238Now Mrs. Glavis, do you recall having ever heard your sister scream before in a like manner?
39238Now there must be something?
39238Now where is your sister- in- law?
39238Now, look here, Reverend McCarthy,he said and his tone revealed his feelings,"what kind of a''stunt''are you pulling off with my wife?"
39238Now, young man,his mother said to him the following morning,"you will get into clean clothes and stay clean, do you understand?"
39238Now_ who_ do you reckon it was that interceded for me?
39238Of course not, now that I recall it; but did you tell him about it?
39238Of what?
39238Oh, Pearl.... How is Pearl?
39238Oh, baching? 39238 Oh, do you think so?"
39238Oh, is that so?
39238Oh, is that so?
39238Our race?
39238Out here, you mean?
39238Out where?
39238Papa,she said in her usual, but sleepy- like voice,"Is that you?"
39238Play you a game of Casino?
39238Say, Brookings,he opened,"what kind of deal is the old Scotchman up against out there?
39238See who?
39238Shall I hire a lawyer, Jean? 39238 So I do n''t guess I have it?"
39238So it came that you sacrificed the real love to be loyal to the race we belong to?
39238So that is how you came here?
39238So you serve drinks here, then?
39238So?
39238So?
39238So?
39238So?
39238Still single...."Thought she was engaged to be married when I was here last year?
39238That would please me if you would condescend?
39238The Watson place? 39238 The doctor, eh?"
39238The joke?
39238The wind?
39238Then how? 39238 Then we can contest it?"
39238Then what about their half brother in East St. Louis, eh? 39238 Then why do n''t you come on out here?"
39238Then why not you and I get together on this proposition before the trial is called?
39238Then you will?
39238Then, how can you expect their followers to be?
39238Then, when, Agnes?
39238Then_ what_?
39238Thinking? 39238 This is-- er-- rather unusual, do n''t you think?"
39238This physician attended the girl while she was confined?
39238Until you had left the room you were in?
39238Was Baptiste aware that such a knife was in the room?
39238Was it providence, or was it God that brought you that night and saved me from the slow death that was coming over me, Agnes?
39238Was it_ I_ who brought all this?
39238We have just become acquainted, but papa has told me of her, and the family, and I''m sure we will be the best of friends, wo n''t we?
39238Well, Jean,she said now more soberly,"just what shall I do?"
39238Well, are they as a whole?
39238Well, dear? 39238 Well, how''s Chicago?"
39238Well, how''s everything over home?
39238Well, now, coming to think of it, it would, would n''t it?
39238Well, now, to be frank, Duval,said Crook,"What do you think of it anyhow?"
39238Well, the house where he stops is just a few doors-- about a half dozen-- up the street--"On the same side or the opposite?
39238Well, what did they say?
39238Well?
39238Well?
39238Well?
39238Well?
39238Well?
39238Were those your folks I seen driving into town a while ago?
39238Wh-- at a-- re yo-- u do- i- ng a-- t m- y h- o- u- s- e?
39238What are you doing in here?
39238What are you talking about?
39238What are your plans, Jean?
39238What did he say to it?
39238What did he seem to think of it?
39238What did you do with your little wife?
39238What did you tell her?
39238What do you mean?
39238What do you think of it?
39238What do you think of protestantism?
39238What has been the matter with my little girl?
39238What have you been doing to my child?
39238What have you discovered?
39238What is it, dear?
39238What is it, dear?
39238What is singular?
39238What is the matter, Glavis?
39238What is the matter, Jean?
39238What is the matter?
39238What is there to understand about this wilderness?
39238What is this place?
39238What is this?
39238What kind of weeds are those?
39238What was the conversation?
39238What was the matter?
39238What ways, please?
39238What''ll you do with your horses?
39238What''s he calling to see Orlean for?
39238What''s her name-- this Negress? 39238 What''s the matter with lots of these nigga''men''round Chicago?
39238What''s the matter, Mother Mary?
39238What''s the matter, dear?
39238What''s the matter?
39238What, papa?
39238What-- what is the matter with him, Glavis? 39238 What-- why-- what''s the matter?"
39238What?
39238When did you discover this, madam?
39238When did you leave home?
39238When do they look for the Reverend in?
39238When you happen to think of it; will you try never to allow yourself to resume that expression--_that_ expression again?
39238When you left the hotel, where did you go?
39238When, to your knowledge, was Baptiste last in the house?
39238When?
39238Where am I?
39238Where are you?
39238Where did you meet him?
39238Where do you live?
39238Where had you been, and what time did you return home?
39238Where is Orlean?
39238Where is Orlean?
39238Where is he?
39238Where is my husband?
39238Where is the family and how many are there of you?
39238Where is your father today?
39238Where were they murdered?
39238Where would you like to go?
39238Where''s the governor?
39238Where?
39238Which way do you live from town?
39238Whiskey?
39238Who are you?
39238Who are you?
39238Who bought your daughter''s place, my dear Elder? 39238 Who else?"
39238Who has been murdered, and why am I accused?
39238Who holds the place, did you say?
39238Who is it out there?
39238Who? 39238 Why are you laughing?"
39238Why does he never ride in the daytime?
39238Why have_ you_ waited so long to take such action, Glavis? 39238 Why is it so?"
39238Why is it, dear?
39238Why must this be so?
39238Why not just go to one?
39238Why not, Orlean?
39238Why should I have done so when I did n''t feel to?
39238Why should it please you?
39238Why should n''t I? 39238 Why so?
39238Why so?
39238Why will he partake of the fuel he brought to keep from freezing, then?
39238Why would you want to do that?
39238Why would_ you_ want to see him?
39238Why, Orlean, what has come over you?
39238Why, my child, this-- this is rather sudden, is it not? 39238 Why, really-- when?"
39238Why,he suddenly exclaimed, his eyes widening,"what is the matter?"
39238Why-- Jean-- the man is-- drunk, is he not?
39238Why-- what''s the matter?
39238Why-- you have met my daughter?
39238Why?
39238Will Agnes tell me what has kept her so busy and away, I know not where?
39238Will they not leave one?
39238Will you kindly state to the court just what you overheard and know regarding this affair?
39238With what were they murdered?
39238Wo n''t you tell it to_ me_?
39238Wo n''t you tell me what the matter is, mother?
39238Won''t-- ah-- won''t you be seated?
39238Wonder why he does n''t marry?
39238Would n''t that be all right?
39238Would n''t you like to go to town, papa?
39238Would you care for it?
39238Would you like to walk down by the river?
39238Yes, what do you think of that?
39238Yes?
39238Yes?
39238Yes?
39238Yes?
39238Yesterday?
39238You admit to this, then, my dear Reverend?
39238You are going back home with me tomorrow, dear?
39238You are_ honestly_ happy, dear?
39238You did n''t?
39238You discovered this tragedy, madam?
39238You do n''t live here?
39238You have money?
39238You have not traveled far?
39238You have?
39238You have?
39238You infer that I have forgotten my troubles?
39238You mean, I--"Yes,she said slowly,"you-- we understand each other and everything that has concerned each other, do n''t we, Jean?"
39238You mean,she said, straightening curiously,"that you loved an Indian up there?
39238You met him coming out of the house upon your arrival?
39238You refer to me?
39238You refer to that case on Vernon Avenue, madam?
39238You saw this Baptiste leave the hotel?
39238You say you saw him going north of town?
39238You say, madame, that after you heard your sister scream you rushed from your room and to where she was?
39238You think so?
39238You want to do what?
39238You will awaken me early tomorrow-- say, six o''clock?
39238You will go back with me, and be mine, all mine and love me forever?
39238You will grant that the individual in the controversy would likely be able to judge more correctly with regard to values?
39238You will not go back today-- rather tonight?
39238You''ve agreed to forget it, father...."I agree again; but it''s outrageous that he should say what he did about Jean Baptiste, now is n''t it?
39238You? 39238 You_ think_ so?"
39238You_ think_ you heard a door slam? 39238 Your mother is dead?"
39238Your wife, perhaps?
39238_ Agnes!_"Well,_ why_ not?
39238_ Call this same number in about ten minutes, understand?_ Yes. 39238 _ Me?_""But I waited for your letter.
39238_ Perhaps_ fifteen minutes; but you are not positive?
39238_ Why would I want to do that?_ Humph! 39238 ''I just could n''t live out there in that wilderness, it was too lonesome,''''Oh, Orlean,''I said disgustingly,''do you expect me to believe that? 39238 ''What''s the rip? 39238 ''Who''re those girls living near the church?'' 39238 ''Why do you live apart from him, the man you married? 39238 *****What is this?"
39238A white man or a Negro?
39238After what Orlean said?
39238Am I speaking correctly?"
39238And how are you today?"
39238And how do you happen to be down here in the spring?"
39238And if even I believed you, how could I respect you?''
39238And it is not too much if one takes into consideration what you have done for-- I''ll be glad to go....""Done for what?"
39238And now that she was away, to his mind first came the question,_ why_ was she away?
39238And say, Brother McCarthy, what is this I read in the paper about your son- in- law coming in here and suing you for breaking up Orlean and he?"
39238And what did_ you see_ when you came out?"
39238And what do you think she had the nerve to say to me?
39238And where may I see you-- say, tomorrow?"
39238And yet, why was his wife in Chicago without even a letter from her to him; or one from him to her?
39238And-- when will that be?"
39238Another fence: who would furnish that two hundred and fifty dollars and secure him for the remainder?
39238Any knowledge of what kind of bill was rendered by him?"
39238Are the winters here as a rule as cold as this one has been?"
39238Are you here on-- on your_ wedding trip_?"
39238Are you in love with this man?"
39238At where I board?"
39238Baptiste?"
39238Baptiste?"
39238Baptiste?"
39238Baptiste?"
39238Besides, how did you know it?
39238Besides, what would he do with the books when he had them?
39238Besides,''I went on,''Why?''
39238Bill, however, not the least perturbed over his apparent breach of impropriety, became reseated, and resumed:"Well?"
39238Blanche''s mother?"
39238But Jean, do you want me to?"
39238But did that stop her mouth?
39238But did the Reverend?
39238But here we are, compelled to be apart, and by whom?"
39238But if he_ was awake, what was it he saw_?
39238But is it not a fact that Mrs. Pruitt, with whom you are well acquainted, accompanied your daughter on this trip?"
39238But it seems rather odd, does n''t it?
39238But maybe I am entitled to hear it?"
39238But the fact that others cultivate and heed such is no reason, dear, do you feel, that we should?"
39238But was freedom all?
39238But was she?
39238But what can be done?"
39238But what did he know of such?
39238But why was there no evidence of a struggle?
39238But you will do this favor which I ask of you?"
39238But, sweet one, when are you going to become my own?"
39238But_ could_ she?
39238CHAPTER X"YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS WAY BEFORE"When Agnes Stewart found her father and they were ready to return home, she inquired:"Did he see you?"
39238Ca n''t you take a joke?"
39238Christine was not there, he knew, unless she had come that day, which was not likely.... Then_ who rode the horse_?
39238Credit?
39238Did he speak to you on the street?"
39238Did n''t stop on the way anywhere?"
39238Did the editor not have a conversation with you before the article appeared?"
39238Did you meet anybody on the way?"
39238Did you stop and talk?"
39238Do I love you?
39238Do n''t you think that if I secured a good detective to look into it-- this case, it would be the proper thing?"
39238Do you realize, Agnes, had it not been for you, I-- I-- would not be sitting here now?
39238Do you recall of having ever heard your daughter or any one say what deeded land in that section sold for?"
39238Do you understand?"
39238Does your head pain you much?"
39238Duty?
39238Even had he been blind he could have known he was among them, for was not there the usual noise; the old laugh, and all that went with it?
39238Everything O.K.?''
39238Finally he heard himself speaking, and in a voice that seemed to come from far away:"Ah-- well-- did my wife have-- attention?"
39238For what more could he have wished?
39238Glavis glared at him as if to say,"Well, what business have you here, now?"
39238Glavis?"
39238Guess I may depend on you to be ready that day?"
39238Had n''t you heard about it?"
39238Had_ he_, done that, too?
39238Has any one ever observed the fact before?"
39238Has something happened?
39238Have you a''phone?"
39238Have you any idea who the plaintiff is going to use as witnesses?"
39238Have you any knowledge as to how many visits this doctor made to the bedside of this girl when she was sick?
39238Have you never heard of Jean Baptiste?
39238Have you never seen a woman who never changed her mind-- especially when there was a man in the case?"
39238Have you really not seen a colored girl in a whole year?"
39238Have you sent him word when he could?"
39238He caught his breath and held his hand over his heart, as he heard her voice:"Papa, is that you?
39238He lowered his eyes in thought as his lips muttered:"Wonder where he is?"
39238He petted her a moment and then, placing his hand under her chin, raised her head and said:"Well, now, my dear, what is the matter?"
39238He raised his hand to his head and was thoughtful, before saying:"Why were you so disturbed over me seeing the letter, Orlean?
39238He said-- well, I ca n''t quite explain, but he-- he wants to marry me, mama, and you know-- well, mama, you understand, do n''t you?"
39238He was not injured, she was relieved to see; but_ what was_ the matter?
39238He was succeeding in the game of reform(?)
39238He will be there over Sunday you say?...
39238How can it be your fault when you have sacrificed the nice home in Chicago for this wilderness?"
39238How could I get married?
39238How could I?
39238How did you make him understand?"
39238How do you account for or explain that?"
39238How far is that?"
39238How long would it take for her to be his mate again at this rate?
39238How should I know?
39238How were you impressed with him when you met him later at this friend''s house?"
39238How would he be able to face these friends if they failed to accept the book?
39238I almost beseeched you, because-- oh, do n''t you understand what is in me, that I am as all men, weak?
39238I hear they are parted?''
39238I said:''I do n''t understand you?''
39238I suppose I can count you as witness to the fact?"
39238I think it''s in your eyes; but I_ do_ understand that whatever it is it is something good-- it could n''t be otherwise, could it?"
39238I understand.... What do I want with him?
39238I wonder if he could board me?"
39238I wonder whether she will testify that she overheard your father- in- law abusing this Baptiste to his wife?"
39238I-- would like to speak to you?"
39238If he is still here, I will say:''this is the wrong number,''Get it?"
39238If not, then, where might I find her?"
39238If so then what would he write?
39238In hell and its tortures did you say?
39238Is it not reasonable to suppose that he would not know where the preacher slept if he had not been in the house for three years?"
39238Is it not so?"
39238Is she a single woman or married?"
39238Is that quite true?"
39238Is this it?"
39238It does n''t stop here; but you catch it and go to the station above here, do you understand?"
39238It does not seem reasonable to suppose that he granted her the privilege to sign his name to checks to secure money with which to leave him?"
39238It was rather singular, however, he now thought; for if such had happened, and he had seen it, then why had he not stopped the robber?
39238M- m. Then who purchased it for her, Reverend?"
39238M- m._ Your father_ had it cashed for you?"
39238McCarthy?"
39238McCarthy_?
39238Merley''s?"
39238Merley?"
39238My God, how could I be after what you have done to me, my life.... Why did n''t I come to the house?...
39238Not away down on that farm southeast?"
39238Now what would it all come to?
39238Now, supposin''you married a white woman and brought her here to Chicago, who would you associate with?
39238Now, what am I to do?
39238Now, what am I to do?
39238Now,_ are those girls_ straight?''
39238Now-- a-- who solicited that write- up?
39238Or was it her presence?
39238Perhaps it just happened so?
39238Presently he said:"How much do you have to have to go down there?"
39238Presently she said in a low voice:"Do you feel hurt badly, Jean?"
39238Pruitt?"
39238She called him:"Father?"
39238She had been trained not to...."Now where did you meet Mr. Baptiste, my dear?"
39238She says:''Is she sick physically, or mentally?''
39238She to her sewing, and Jean Baptiste to his thoughts.... CHAPTER II WHICH?
39238She turned to him, and said:"What are you doing here?"
39238Shortly she felt his hand upon her shoulder and she turned to hear him say:"Wo n''t you come back into the parlor?
39238Should he confess?
39238So he had arisen, that was sure; but why had he not come for his meal?
39238So you are home to dinner?"
39238Some you have bought since you have been married?"
39238Soon she heard him, as she clung to his arm, allowing her body to rest against his shoulder:"How much for, Orlean?"
39238Soon she said:"Do you play?"
39238Tell them that it had been rejected as unavailable?
39238That I shall return later in the day?"
39238That much money?"
39238That would be the first thing to do, would n''t it, Jean?"
39238That, I recall is the home of the Sioux?"
39238The melting smile she bestowed him with was quite sufficient, so seeing, he continued:"And do you wish to become his wife?"
39238The old fellow who moved out here recently from Indiana?"
39238The only question was, would E.M. Glavis have the courage to go through with it?
39238The question is--""Are they worth anything?"
39238The station I refer to is only four miles above this, and when you get off there, catch another train that comes in a few minutes back this way, see?"
39238Then why did not he, Jean Baptiste, act?
39238Then why should it be?
39238Then, to whom?
39238Then:"Are you married yet?"
39238There is nothing wrong between us-- never has been, nor between you and I now either, is there?"
39238Therefore, can I be forgiven if I say to you; if I ask you, Miss McCarthy,"and so saying, he turned to her, his face serious,"to become my wife?"
39238Thinking of what?"
39238This, this, do you hear?
39238Throw up my hands and quit, or try to see Orlean and get her around to reason?
39238To have her to talk to; her to tell the truth to and share what little happiness there was to be had in life, he became overly anxious?
39238Wanta go long?"
39238Was he aware also that the preacher occupied this particular room?
39238Was it all because Jean Baptiste loved his wife?
39238Was_ he_ the cause of what he saw in this girl''s face?
39238Was_ this_ a proposal or was it a play?
39238Well, here''s what it was, and I_ hope_ she said it:''Why, Ethel, how is Orlean?''
39238Were they not little boys once themselves?"
39238What about this?
39238What becomes of women who are deceived?
39238What did he pay for the place?"
39238What did it mean?
39238What do you say to it?"
39238What does she know about it?"
39238What does that mean?"
39238What happened next?"
39238What is there between love and duty?
39238What is your opinion, having been on the property, of its actual worth?"
39238What part of Indiana do you come from?"
39238What was it?
39238What was passing in her mind?
39238What was the nature of the land?
39238What you want to ask me such a question for?
39238When he had drunk deeply and lay back weakly upon the pillow, he heard:"How do you feel, Jean?"
39238When shall I bring her?"
39238When she met my eyes she sighed, and then said:''Do you think he can hurt papa, Mildred?
39238When will your father- in- law be in?"
39238When would the railroad be extended out of Bonesteel westward?
39238Where did she sleep?"
39238Where did you go, sweet one?
39238Where is Speed, and the wife of his you ruined?
39238Where is your sense of duty?''
39238Where shall we find him?"
39238Where would they sit?
39238Where?
39238Where?
39238Which?
39238Which?
39238Which?
39238Who could keep from liking you?"
39238Why ask me?
39238Why did he contest the place, my dear Reverend?"
39238Why do you not wear some of your summer dresses?
39238Why do young men call to see any young ladies?"
39238Why should I come to your house, when the last time I was there I was kicked out, virtually kicked out, do you hear?_""You get away from here!"
39238Why should he be seen?
39238Why should they be separated?
39238Why should we be keeping this a secret from him-- rather, why should I?
39238Why was it that they understood each other so well?
39238Why, why,_ why_?
39238Why?"
39238Why_ would n''t_ you be welcome?
39238Will that be all right, dear?"
39238Will that be alright?"
39238Will you-- can you_ prove_ it?"
39238With Jean?
39238With sudden impulse, she turned to Mrs. Reynolds who had not interrupted:"It will be nice, now, wo n''t it?"
39238Would it be worth while?
39238Would you like to look forward and feel that you had to go through all your life what your mother has endured?"
39238Yes, and where are my brothers?
39238You are hurt, do you understand?"
39238You are perhaps, then, newcomers here?"
39238You are positive Jean Baptiste, here, killed your sister, also your father?
39238You have come and, oh, I am glad, for I have waited for you so long._""How did he know my name and come to say what he did?"
39238You have her, is she not enough?
39238You have her, is that not enough?
39238You loved none of us, perhaps, and it was because you had not had the opportunity, maybe?"
39238You might have heard that Blanche is married?"
39238You never, I suppose, informed her husband regarding the_ transaction_ after the deal was closed?"
39238You''ll be so kind as to wait until then, will you not?"
39238You_ did n''t_ kill him, you_ did n''t_ kill_ her_--_you did n''t kill anybody, did you, Jean_?"
39238_ Me_, for murder?"
39238_ When the proper time comes._""The_ proper_ time?
39238_ Who was this man_ that he should call her name and say that_ he_ had waited?
39238_ Why had they left her?_ She looked at the photographs she held--_and understood_.
39238_ Why was she away?_ Oh, the agony this question gave the man of our story.
40602A boat, bearing a flag of truce, is hailing the brig; what is to be done?
40602A truce to this exchange of puerile speeches; will you answer my question, yes or no?
40602A very simple matter: how it is that a monk finds himself at such an hour alone in the heart of the desert?
40602Agreed; where are the guides?
40602Ah, ah,John said thoughtfully,"and what do you conclude from that, Ruperto?"
40602Ah, you carried off my daughter and fancied yourself well concealed, did you? 40602 Ah,"Tranquil said, ironically and with a dark frown,"I have known Blue- fox for many years, and you, Chief?"
40602Ah,said the Jaguar thoughtfully,"do you know any of these hunters?"
40602Ah,the two officers said, walking quickly up to him,"who is he, then?"
40602Alas, friend, what greater misfortune could I tell you of than that which, by ruining our dearest hopes, has plunged us into despair?
40602All is clearly understood between us, Jaguar?
40602Already?
40602Am I an old woman, to be deceived by the smooth words of a forked tongue?
40602Am I not? 40602 Am I their keeper, Colonel Melendez?"
40602And John Davis?
40602And he were to kill you?
40602And how long will you require to finish my fortress as it stands on the parchment?
40602And is Tranquil here?
40602And pray what may you want with me, Señor?
40602And still brought no news?
40602And suppose I refuse to tell it to you?
40602And suppose I refuse?
40602And the Jaguar?
40602And then you came straight here?
40602And those scoundrels?
40602And where is this privileged spot, my friend?
40602And you approve?
40602And you conclude from this?
40602And you have rested?
40602And you trust to him?
40602And your soldiers, Caballero,he went on, a minute later, stopping before the officer,"I suppose they fled at the first shot?"
40602Apparently, do you say?
40602Are the reasons that have brought my brother here urgent?
40602Are the rebels alarmed? 40602 Are they both here?"
40602Are we going to start again?
40602Are we really out of danger, father?
40602Are you afraid?
40602Are you all right?
40602Are you brave?
40602Are you certain?
40602Are you dumb?
40602Are you fond of money? 40602 Are you going to the fort?"
40602Are you quite sure, Caballero, that I have not the right to act as I am doing? 40602 Are you so ignorant of naval matters, then, as not to know what takes place on board a vessel after an engagement?"
40602Are you sure?
40602Are you the Fort- Commandant?
40602Are you there?
40602Are you tired?
40602Are you very anxious to know?
40602Are you wounded?
40602Are you?
40602As you please,the pirate answered, and prepared to go down; but, suddenly reflecting, he added,"Tell me, can you not do me a service?"
40602Brothers,he said,"you have heard all that passed between Don Lopez Hidalgo d''Avila and myself?"
40602But how did you succeed in escaping from the hacienda after the arrival of the troops, Quoniam?
40602But how will you effect it?
40602But iron, wood-- in a word, all the articles necessary for such a building, how to procure them?
40602But the boat?
40602But these men who crossed the camp?
40602But what guarantee can you offer me on the sincerity of your intentions?
40602But when the master arrives?
40602But where is this gate situated?
40602But where shall I find you?
40602But where will you wait for him?
40602But why does not the Chief frankly go and join his friend, if he knows where he is? 40602 But yourself?"
40602By the bye,one of the strangers remarked,"have you come alone?
40602By the way, Captain,the Lieutenant continued, with some hesitation,"we are drawing near the gut; do you intend to pass through it?"
40602By whom?
40602By- the- bye,said the General, presently,"have these partisans any capable men at their head?"
40602Can he be dead?
40602Can you be frightened?
40602Can you be trusted?
40602Can you support yourself in the water by putting one hand on Lanzi''s shoulder and the other on mine?
40602Captain,the hunter exclaimed,"what do you propose doing?"
40602Carmela?
40602Certainly I see birds; but what have they in common----?
40602Come, Caballero, suppose we are frank with one another-- are you willing?
40602Come, Excellency,said Mephistopheles,"you can hardly suppose that I have any intention of taking you in?"
40602Could you prove to me that this young person is really your daughter?
40602Did I not tell you that I had serious news to impart to you?
40602Did I not tell you that I have been prowling about the neighbourhood for some days?
40602Did the flight of the birds deceive us?
40602Did you not also evince a desire, Caballero, to have an interview with me?
40602Did you run any dangers?
40602Did you wish to speak to her or to me?
40602Do not speak about that, for are we not sworn friends?
40602Do you fancy, then,he said,"that if I had only some news to tell you, I should have brought you here?"
40602Do you feel better, holy Father?
40602Do you feel strong enough to mount again?
40602Do you hesitate?
40602Do you hesitate?
40602Do you imagine,Don Cristoval objected,"that a privateer brig, knowing you to be in these parts, would venture to force a passage?"
40602Do you know what has become of the Mexican flag we found in the commandant''s room?
40602Do you know whether the Mexicans have other ships observing the ports, in addition to the corvette we have captured?
40602Do you know who that man is, standing close to you?
40602Do you know why I left you?
40602Do you mean it?
40602Do you not see?
40602Do you not think, master,the pirate said,"that this spot is excellently chosen for the place I meditate?"
40602Do you see nothing?
40602Do you think so, General?
40602Do you think so, lad?
40602Do you think so? 40602 Do you think so?"
40602Do you think so?
40602Do you think so?
40602Do you think so?
40602Do you think so?
40602Do you think, then, that ship is not American?
40602Do you wish to rest?
40602Does he intend to lay siege to it?
40602Does my father believe so?
40602Does my father know where they are gone?
40602Don Juan,he continued,"why do you so obstinately defend a lost cause?
40602Eh, what?
40602Excellently reasoned; but supposing I_ do_ refuse?
40602Father,said Doña Carmela,"will you let me fall alive into the hands of that tiger?"
40602Father,the inquisitive maiden said, as she looked around,"have visitors arrived?"
40602For what good? 40602 For what purpose did they that?"
40602From bandits, I suppose, Captain?
40602General Rubio?
40602General,he said raising his voice,"can you hear me?"
40602Good day, father,she said, demurely,"you have already returned?"
40602Good morning, lad,the latter replied;"did you sleep well?"
40602Good, and now you are re- united?
40602Good, my coyotes,he continued, with the same mocking tone;"now, I suppose, you would like to smell a little blood?"
40602Good- morning, little one,the hunter replied, with a smile;"did you sleep well?"
40602Has my brother slept well?
40602Has the great Pale hunter come alone?
40602Have you any news, then?
40602Have you ended?
40602Have you further bad news to tell us?
40602Have you heard no more than that?
40602Have you looked at me enough?
40602Have you no hopes of recovery, then?
40602Have you received news of our friends?
40602Hence?
40602Hilloh, Señor Padre, what are you doing in the forest at such an hour?
40602How did the Sachem learn that he would find me here?
40602How do I know?
40602How do I know?
40602How do you know? 40602 How many men do you keep with you?"
40602How many men have you?
40602How should I know it?
40602How so?
40602I am as rich as the whole of you put together,he replied;"who does not know the wealthy Don Lopez Hidalgo d''Avila?"
40602I am very sorry for it; but what other answer than that can I give you?
40602I am your prisoner, then?
40602I did, Captain; I have only one question to ask you, though-- will you promise me to answer it?
40602I give it; but who guarantees me that you will act honourably on your side?
40602I presume that the question I asked surprised you?
40602I presume you do not intend returning to Galveston?
40602I think you called, Señor?
40602I think you said the enemy''s camp was plunged in sleep?
40602I? 40602 I?"
40602I?
40602If I can not enter Galveston, you can leave it, I suppose?
40602In that case war is declared?
40602Is Captain Melendez still alive?
40602Is a new danger threatening us?
40602Is all clear?
40602Is he a traitor?
40602Is he here, then?
40602Is he not, father?
40602Is it not?
40602Is it not?
40602Is it serious, then?
40602Is it so serious as that?
40602Is that all?
40602Is that all?
40602Is that you, Lanzi?
40602Is the news you have to tell me really serious?
40602Is there no one here?
40602Is what you said to us about your return to honest courses sincere?
40602It is true,the Jaguar said, coldly,"but what does that prove?"
40602Loyal Heart?
40602Mine or yours, father-- is that not the same thing?
40602My father knows the pale hunters of these prairies?
40602My father will look,the Chief continued, stretching out his arm to the south- west,"does he see that reddish light scarce rising above the horizon?"
40602No,said Tranquil, as he kissed her pale forehead;"here is my dagger, child?"
40602Nonsense, who knows? 40602 Nonsense,"said the worthy pirate, who was quite rebuffed,"do you think our Lord will not look twice before condemning a man of my sort?"
40602Not even those flocks of herons and flamingos flying in large circles, and uttering shrill cries which you can hear from here?
40602Now, that is settled,he continued,"you want me no longer, I suppose?
40602Of course you have found the person again, Chief, to whom you devoted yourself?
40602Of what, my child?
40602Oh, oh,the Jaguar muttered,"how will it end?
40602Oh,the Jaguar said, smiting his forehead,"can the hacienda have one of these sally ports?"
40602On my faith, I do not know,he answered;"but of what consequence is it?"
40602On the contrary, all goes ill."What do you mean?
40602On the contrary, you must lie down, my friend, for do you not remember I said I would keep watch?
40602On what conditions?
40602On your soul and conscience, is this man guilty?
40602Redskins?
40602Seen who?
40602Señora,the Commandant said, leaning over to the young lady seated by his side;"are you afraid of the sea?"
40602Shall we hang him?
40602She is now, then, at the Larch- tree?
40602So near as that? 40602 Speak, Ruperto, what is it?"
40602Stay,said Loyal Heart,"are you not tigrero to the Larch- tree hacienda?"
40602Still I must explain to you----"For what good purpose?
40602Still?
40602Strangers?
40602Suppose I refuse?
40602Suppose this man were one of the bandits who traverse the desert?
40602Suppose we hail him? 40602 Tell me, my friend,"Don Juan answered,"may I be allowed to speak with the Chief?"
40602That is to say?
40602That is true,said Don Serapio;"but what prevents us getting into your boat?
40602That is true; but what can we do?
40602That is true?
40602The weapons too?
40602Then the hunter is an Indian?
40602Then we are at liberty?
40602Then you have not seen him?
40602Then you imagine----?
40602Then you intend to make the expedition you told me of this night?
40602Then you know the conditions I imposed on General Rubio?
40602Then you will employ force to coerce a single, unarmed man in his own house?
40602Then, I shall have my castle tomorrow?
40602Then, I suppose, you have been reconnoitring?
40602Then, the words you have just uttered are serious?
40602Then, we are about to witness a sea fight?
40602Then, whatever happens, you will act?
40602Then, you accept?
40602Then, you do not wish to parley?
40602Then, you give me your word as a soldier that the conditions I impose on you will be legally carried out by you?
40602This night; but is your information positive?
40602To seize the hacienda?
40602To tack?
40602Tranquil?
40602Two women?
40602Was I not obliged to tell you first what had happened to me? 40602 Was it he who revealed to you the existence of the sally port by which we are to enter?"
40602Was it not? 40602 Was it, strategetical position?"
40602We act toward each other with all frankness and honesty of purpose?
40602We are perfectly aware of what you are capable, Señor; but we are only four men, and after all----"And the boat''s crew?
40602We have,Tranquil continued,"to cheat the cheater, and play at diamond cut diamond with him; you understand me?"
40602Well, Caballeros,the young man said mincingly, in a sweet and harmonious voice;"do you not recognize me?
40602Well, General, have I kept my word?
40602Well, gossip,the latter asked him at once;"what news have you?"
40602Well, say whether you are resolved to obey me at all hazards?
40602Well, what then?
40602Well, you see; and our passengers?
40602Well,El Alferez continued, stamping his foot impatiently,"have you made up your mind; yes or no?"
40602Well,Ramirez asked,"what have you done?"
40602Well,Ruperto remarked,"did I not tell you that you would be soon cured?
40602Well,he asked him,"what do you think of it?"
40602Well,he asked him,"where is the flag?"
40602Well,he said, with a smile,"what does your friend Jaguar write?"
40602Well,the Chief asked, without turning,"why did you warn us, Lanzi?"
40602Well,the young man continued,"do you accept, General?"
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602What are you about?
40602What can you mean?
40602What conditions can you have to offer us, since you refuse to surrender?
40602What did you mean, then, my child?
40602What do you desire, Excellency?
40602What do you intend doing?
40602What do you know of it? 40602 What do you mean by ought to be watching?"
40602What do you mean by that remark, Caballero?
40602What do you mean by that remark?
40602What do you mean by yours, Señor Governor? 40602 What do you mean, my friend?
40602What do you mean? 40602 What do you mean?"
40602What do you mean?
40602What do you mean?
40602What do you say, Tranquil?
40602What do you say?
40602What do you say?
40602What do you say?
40602What do you say?--''What does that prove?''
40602What do you want, Señor?
40602What do you wish to know?
40602What do you, think of that, Excellency?
40602What do_ you_ see, let me ask in return?
40602What does my father want?
40602What does the Chief mean?
40602What does this parcel contain?
40602What else are you at this moment?
40602What good to tell you?
40602What good will it do,he said,"to pick a quarrel with your allies?
40602What good will that do?
40602What good would that do, since you have not recognised me?
40602What happened, then?
40602What has become of General Rubio and the officers who accompanied him?
40602What have I done, now?
40602What have you to say to me, brother?--have you a fresh misfortune to announce?
40602What idea?
40602What is it then, in your opinion?
40602What is it then?
40602What is it?
40602What is it?
40602What is it?
40602What is it?
40602What is it?
40602What is the fellow''s name?
40602What is the matter with you?
40602What is the matter, then?
40602What is the matter?
40602What is the meaning of this, Caballero?
40602What is the use of reflecting? 40602 What is the use of taking so much trouble about me?"
40602What is to be done?
40602What is your plan?
40602What makes you imagine that?
40602What makes you think so?
40602What matter, do you say?
40602What matter, so long as I love you, father? 40602 What matter?"
40602What o''clock is it?
40602What others?
40602What punishment does he deserve?
40602What shall I do with them? 40602 What shall we do?"
40602What shall we do?
40602What state is he in?
40602What the deuce would you have me do General? 40602 What then?"
40602What will you do?
40602What would you have me answer, Caballero,the young man said, with a delightful smile,"since you know all?"
40602What''s the matter?
40602What, father, dress ourselves as men?
40602What-- the enemy? 40602 What?
40602What?
40602Whatever may happen?
40602When I offer you an unexpected success?
40602When do we start?
40602When force does not avail, stratagem must be employed; is not that your opinion?
40602When shall we land?
40602When?
40602Where are we?
40602Where are you going?
40602Where are you going?
40602Where are you?
40602Where are your men?
40602Where can he be?
40602Where did you find this?
40602Where do you propose going? 40602 Where is he then?"
40602Where is it?
40602Where is the hunter going?
40602Where is the person we have come to deliver concealed?
40602Where may we be going, Lieutenant?
40602Where the deuce are you taking us?
40602Where the deuce would you have me go at this hour, and in this darkness?
40602Where, and at what hour?
40602Which means, I presume, that you look upon me as a prisoner, General?
40602Which question?
40602Who are the persons with you?
40602Who are you, and what do you want?
40602Who are you, who appear to know me and answer so strangely?
40602Who calls me?
40602Who can flatter himself with possessing a firm heart?
40602Who goes there?
40602Who is he?
40602Who knows? 40602 Who knows?"
40602Who speaks?
40602Who told you that I was alone?
40602Who will keep watch tonight?
40602Whom do you mean?
40602Why did he not accompany my father here?
40602Why did he not come in person to meet me?
40602Why did you come, then?
40602Why did you not awake me on your arrival?
40602Why did you not bring them in at once?
40602Why else, then?
40602Why enter such a den as this?
40602Why have you not applied to him, then?
40602Why not you?
40602Why not, if circumstances compel him?
40602Why not?
40602Why not?
40602Why should I employ toward you those conventional forms of politeness, General? 40602 Why should I not confess that I can not read?
40602Why so far and so late, brother?
40602Why so?
40602Why so?
40602Why so?
40602Why so?
40602Why so?
40602Why take up your weapons?
40602Why threaten a man who does not insult you?
40602Why?
40602Will my brother kill Blue- fox?
40602Will the Chief permit me to ask him a question?
40602Will you be quiet?
40602With whom have I the honour of speaking?
40602With whom?
40602Without leaving off?
40602Would it be indiscreet, Captain, to ask you whither you have given orders to have us taken?
40602Would there be any danger in going on deck?
40602Would you doubt my word?
40602Yes, but--"Ah,said the pirate,"there is a but then?"
40602Yes, yes, he is a rude adversary; but you got the better of him at last?
40602Yes,Loyal Heart remarked;"but for what purpose?"
40602Yes: but to whom can I trust her now that the venta is destroyed?
40602You also allow that you came here with the intention of seizing the city?
40602You are aware that I am an architect?
40602You are aware that you have deserved death?
40602You are mad,the old man said with a disdainful shrug of his shoulders;"if I had betrayed you, should I have led you here?"
40602You are quite forgiven, Colonel,he said;"have you received any more bad news?"
40602You are quite resolved on opposing us?
40602You are right, so I will be clear: which of you gentlemen bears the name of Tranquil?
40602You are skilful?
40602You have no further orders to give me?
40602You have, then, a reason for acting as you are now doing?
40602You know him better than we do then, as you speak thus of him?
40602You said, Fray Antonio,the young man continued, addressing the monk,"that you suspected the motives of the Apaches''extraordinary treatment of you?"
40602You seem to take great interest in Captain Melendez, my child?
40602You still adhere to your idea, then?
40602You swear it?
40602You will not do so,"For what reason?
40602You will remember that I warned you you would end your domiciliary visit with this room?
40602You will see; besides, must we not go and pick up our boat, which has not yet returned?
40602You?
40602Your daughter?
40602Your resolution will not change?
40602_ Rayo de Dios!_the Jaguar shouted;"What is the meaning of that?"
40602After the usual compliments had been exchanged with extreme politeness, the Major- domo asked--"With whom have I the honour of speaking?"
40602Am I correctly informed?
40602And speaking to the look- out man, he said--"In what direction is that ship?"
40602And then again, supposing the stones were found, squared, and brought to the foot of the rock, how were they to be raised to the top?
40602And then, what would be his reason for doing so?
40602And was it known to the garrison?
40602And what has become of that man?"
40602And who are they?"
40602And who is the Governor of the place?"
40602Are you afraid that I shall fail you when the hour for fighting arrives?"
40602Are you disposed to let me see him?"
40602Are you ready?"
40602Are you sure that the bearer of this letter is dead?"
40602Be frank, monk, have you told us the truth?"
40602Besides, was it not agreed that political questions should never separate us?
40602Besides, what was the good of speaking, when they could act?
40602But I do not see Ramirez among you; can he have been so awkward as to get himself hung?
40602But put yourself for a moment in my place; if I had made you the same proposals you offered me, what would your answer have been?"
40602But what means was he to employ to acquire this certainty?
40602But what use is discussion?
40602But, when we have succeeded in throwing them out, where shall we go?"
40602But,"he added sadly a moment later,"of what use will they be?"
40602By what accident is he here, when he started with the conducta de plata?"
40602Can I trust to your delivering my message to him?"
40602Can a detachment of Pawnees be wandering in the neighbourhood?
40602Can our audacious attempt have proved successful?"
40602Can you guess, Tranquil, who this Chief was to whom I was led?"
40602Captain, has any mishap occurred to the conducta?"
40602Carmela exclaimed, falling on her knees, and clasping her hands fervently;"will you abandon us?"
40602Did it go up and down?
40602Did you fight, pray, in the open day?
40602Discuss them with you?
40602Do men like us ever surrender?"
40602Do you accompany me, Don Felix?"
40602Do you consider yourself so free from suspicion that you really consider this measure arbitrary?"
40602Do you fancy you can find the information we require there?"
40602Do you imagine, Jaguar, that I am the man to neglect any precautions, and do things by halves?
40602Do you not think as I do-- that something extraordinary is taking place on board the corvette?"
40602Do you really intend to be of service to us?"
40602Do you think the coast is guarded?"
40602Does my father know him?"
40602Does not that appear extraordinary to you, Don Felix?"
40602Don Cristoval suddenly asked,"What has become of our boat?"
40602For the last time I ask you: Will you tell me the reason of your constant refusals?"
40602Have you been more fortunate?"
40602Have you finished your narrative?"
40602Have you followed my trail from the village?"
40602Have you noticed any signs of agitation in their camp?"
40602He does not mean to ask me to christen him, I suppose?
40602How could I have forgotten that?"
40602How is it that these words strike my ear so far from their hunting grounds?
40602How reach the tree, which oscillated violently with every gust?
40602How was the door to be opened?
40602I now return to the second question you asked me: What reason brought me here?
40602I promise you I will do all you wish, my darling child-- well, does that satisfy you?"
40602I trust that he is not dangerously wounded?"
40602I will tell you presently, but first answer your third question-- How I got here?"
40602In that case you are insurgents?"
40602Is it so?
40602Is there anything new?"
40602John Davis?"
40602Loyal Heart will accompany the Chief to the callis of the nation?"
40602Make haste, for who knows whether I may not be liberated tomorrow, if you do not kill me to day?"
40602Must they turn back, and lose all the profit of such perils overcome, and difficulties incurred?
40602Must we surrender our swords?"
40602My child, you are suffering, and did not tell me-- are you ill?"
40602Nonsense,"he added after a little reflection,"we have seized the fort, then why should they not capture the corvette?"
40602Nothing disturbs you,"Don Juan went on half angrily,"Have all our scouts returned?"
40602Now, answer, what is your resolve?"
40602Now, when and how shall we meet again?
40602Only a few days back-- but why recall that?
40602Return to Blue- fox,""What?"
40602Shall I tell you the new insults the Apaches have dared to offer your Comanche fathers?
40602So he does not yet know who the Pale hunter is?"
40602Some of us will remain on the road; but what matter, so long as we succeed?
40602The Jaguar reflected for a moment, and then continued--"You hate me, I suppose?"
40602The conspirators were terrified at the condition in which they saw their Chief, for what could they do without him-- what would become of them?
40602The sentinel outside the tent challenged,"Who goes there?"
40602Then at the end of a moment, he returned to the maid and said,"You hate me then?"
40602Then it is still for this night?"
40602This is about the period when I am wo nt to proceed to the village; so, will you let me guide you there?
40602To keep a young girl prisoner?
40602Tranquil exclaimed, warmly,"Are you really Black- deer, my brother?
40602Tranquil exclaimed,"Is that charming squaw I see there, the Singing- bird, that frail child whom I so often tossed on my knee?"
40602Tranquil said all at once,"Why, where is Quoniam?"
40602Tranquil, is that you?"
40602Up to the present the Comanches have remained neutral; why should they interfere now?
40602Was it friendship, or was it love?
40602We have our revenge to take upon him: then why are you not at your quarters?
40602Well, are you alone?"
40602Well, now that all is arranged according to our wishes--""Your wishes?"
40602Well, what have you done?"
40602Were they dead, or only in a faint?
40602What are you looking at so fixedly in the sky?
40602What can this Pagan have to say to me?
40602What certainty have you that this is the first time we have been face to face?
40602What could they have said?
40602What could we two not do?"
40602What do you want of me?
40602What else could I do in the face of such accusations?
40602What good would it be?
40602What harm do you see in that?"
40602What has happened to you?"
40602What have you to say to me?"
40602What motive had impelled the strange man to this unqualifiable action?
40602What was this passage through?
40602What will prevent me?"
40602When the coyotes are tearing each other asunder on the prairie, do the Indians try to separate them?
40602When you entered our association you accepted all the laws?"
40602Where are the men you promised to bring?"
40602Where is John Davis?
40602Where is the conducta?"
40602Who am I?
40602Who can answer?
40602Who knows whether I may not be rewarded at a later date?
40602Who knows whether the life of this officer may not be more valuable to us than his death?"
40602Who was he?
40602Why had this strangely selected title been given him?
40602Why shed your generous blood in the service of tyranny?
40602Will the friends of the Jaguar have a better opinion of him?''"
40602Will the great Pale hunter come?"
40602Will you eat?
40602Will you make the spring work yourself, Caballero, or would you prefer my doing it?"
40602Without a warrant, by your mere will?"
40602Would you like to take any refreshment?"
40602You care little whether Texas be free or in slavery?"
40602You give me the meeting at the Fort of the Point?"
40602You have not destroyed it, I trust?"
40602You know it then?"
40602[ 1] What rumour resounds in the distance which interrupts the placid silence of the dark night?
40602are you sure of that?"
40602he asked Quoniam,"Is he dead?"
40602he exclaimed with surprise, on perceiving the Colonel,"are you still here, Señor Don Juan?"
40602he remarked, ironically,"So you know that, Señor Governor?"
40602he replied,"Then my father knows where to find the Chiefs friend?"
40602he said to them,"Not ready yet?
40602he said, with that magnificent coolness which never deserted him,"What''s this?"
40602he said,"And no other person but the young Pale virgin accompanies the hunter?"
40602he said,"What can have happened?
40602is the Paleface speaking the truth?"
40602said Doña Mencia with a cry of terror,"What does that mean?"
40602said the Chief,"Only one?"
40602said the Jaguar,"Can he be dead?
40602she replied with a smile,"Why do you ask, Commandant?"
40602the Captain shouted;"Who knows whether we may not be crushed by superior forces in an instant?"
40602the Chief said, with an emotion he could not quite conceal;"Has he really retained the memory of his brother, Black- deer?"
40602the Colonel repeated, utterly astounded;"And what can the second item be?
40602the Colonel said, with a smile;"Then you understand me, Don Felix?"
40602the General continued, angrily;"Have you suddenly grown dumb?"
40602the General remarked,"Are they all dead?"
40602the General shouted, as he gave him a terrible glance, and stamped his foot:"The conducta captured, and yourself alive to bring me the news?"
40602the Jaguar asked reproachfully;"have you abandoned him?"
40602the Jaguar exclaimed, turning livid with passion;"Can it possibly be so?"
40602the Negro exclaimed, in amazement,"Have you guessed it?
40602the conspirator said,"Are we threatened with a domiciliary visit?"
40602the lieutenant could not refrain from saying,"You mean to go ashore?"
40602the old man replied with undiminished coolness;"Do you fancy that I put myself out of the way for nothing?
40602the old sailor exclaimed in astonishment;"The Fort of the Point?"
40602the other exclaimed anxiously;"What have you done with it?
40602the young man continued;"Would you like, now, to learn the second item?"
40602who shall attack the third tintorera?"
42268''How do you do, Mr. Gruel? 42268 ''In God''s name,''says I,''is that so?''
42268''No,''says I,''ai nt he here?'' 42268 ''What money''s that you''re talking about?''
42268Ah,remarked Stephens,"has he?
42268Ai nt it most time for ye to quit all this rovin''round, and settle down? 42268 And a sandy road from here they say-- deep sand, is it not?"
42268And have you no family, Don Estevan?
42268And he ruined you?
42268And how''s the other invalid getting on? 42268 And is it loaded now in the same way?"
42268And is there no boat anywhere up or down the river on this side?
42268And now what can I do for you?
42268And now, shall we go home quite quick? 42268 And the girl?"
42268And there''s nothing happened, señorita, whilst I was asleep? 42268 And was that in the bargain?"
42268And what have you bin''doing ever since our last meeting?
42268And what''ll you do next?
42268And why the deuce should I be so cursedly particular about the Don?
42268And will there be no way of getting over the river till next week?
42268And''t wo n''t be trespassing on your property neither, I s''pose?
42268Are you referring to the lost mine of the Indians?
42268Are you working their works? 42268 As your wife?"
42268But I want to talk to her by herself,he said;"I suppose you wo n''t object, then, if we go to the middle of the meadow and sit down there?"
42268But he is my brother,she returned, and her wet eyes met his half indignantly;"do n''t you understand that I must care for him very much indeed?"
42268But how about that turkey- feather business of your own,he asked,"and your sacred snakes?"
42268But how can I let it out?
42268But if they have seen us?
42268But say, you''re going to stop here, ai nt you? 42268 But where?"
42268But why do n''t you kill the brute?
42268But why do you go?
42268But why trouble over these matters now? 42268 But why?"
42268But you have enough?
42268But you love them still?
42268But,he continued in a not unfriendly tone,"why do you want her?
42268Ca n''t you put them in?
42268Ca n''t you see it''s only Felipe?
42268Call these wild Indians?
42268Can I catch up with them?
42268Can you move?
42268Can you not tell the padre that you hate old Ignacio and that you will not marry him?
42268Can you take me away?
42268Can you walk?
42268Could you, do you think--he added eagerly--"could you show him the error of his ways?"
42268Curious, is n''t it?
42268Did he put you up to this?
42268Did you lie to me?
42268Do n''t you see? 42268 Do n''t you think I''d better prescribe for her?"
42268Do you know of anyone that''s got a pistol for sale?
42268Do you mean to tell me you did it on your own hook?
42268Does the postmaster know anything about it?
42268Dry up, Faro, will you?
42268Ever take any of the Indians out prospecting with you?
42268Excuse me,said he,"but may I, by your permission, beg for a drink of water?
42268Give it up? 42268 Good- morning, Don Estevan; how are you?"
42268Had n''t we better tell the Americano,said Tito,"before we take his mare?
42268Has he got a good stock?--many pretty things for the señoras?
42268Have any of the Mexicans been telling you, then, that we keep a sacred snake in the pueblo? 42268 Have n''t I told you already that the Snakes know all about it, and not me?
42268Have the Americans no feelings?
42268Have you any whiskey?
42268Have you done anything for it?
42268Have you got the saddle?
42268He is not wounded himself?
42268He was alone,he continued,"and the people there got after him----""What people do you mean?"
42268Here,said the cacique in a loud voice to the Indians round,"where''s the horse?
42268Hold on till I strike a light, and shut the door, will you?
42268How can he?
42268How did he ask for her?
42268How did it all happen?
42268How do you do, Don Andrés?
42268How do you mean?
42268How have you succeeded?
42268How much have you?
42268How old is she?
42268How would you look,said he,"if those little rocks were nuggets, eh?
42268I believe that other chap-- what d''you call him? 42268 I know how hard you have worked, dear Felipe, and that you will not be slack now, but are you quite sure of your father?
42268I never liked him, it''s true, but why should he play such a mean trick merely for that? 42268 I say,"said he abruptly, but with seeming carelessness,"ai nt this the place that Mahletonkwa told that story about?
42268I suppose your daughter was on the horse?
42268I wish they might; she half sighed as she spoke;"but which of us can ever tell where good fortune comes from?"
42268I wonder how many centuries it is since those were live coals?
42268I wonder if there''s any snakes hiding among those fallen stones?
42268I wonder what he''s saying, and who or what he''s saying it to?
42268If he did n''t, who was to?
42268If you want it so bad,he continued,"why do n''t you ask it from Tostado, or Miguel, or some of them?
42268Is he dying? 42268 Is it bad?
42268Is it not time for you to leave off this wandering, roving life of yours and settle down? 42268 Is it running?
42268Is n''t your daughter at home? 42268 Is not your gun in your hand, too?"
42268Is she there too? 42268 Is that you, Felipe?"
42268Is that you, sweetheart?
42268Is there no way over?
42268Is there not peace between us?
42268Is your rifle loaded?
42268It is impossible; there are n''t any; there are no such things; the Mexicans have been telling you that, too, have they? 42268 Lend her for what?"
42268Look at here,interjected Backus,"did ye ever think to try them Navajos?
42268Mahletonkwa, I suppose you make no objection to her coming with me now?
42268May I ask, Mr. Backus, if you''ve any special reason for these questions?
42268May I see the pistol?
42268Miguel, perhaps, that tall, slim one with the scar on his cheek?
42268Mining, I suppose?
42268Mining, eh?
42268Mornin'', Mr. Stephens,he began;"can I come in?
42268My horse is tired,said the cacique;"and how about horses for the young men?"
42268No treachery?
42268No, indeed, Sooshiuamo,said the boy;"how could I?"
42268No,she answered;"how could I?
42268Nothing left to live for?
42268Now how am I going to catch him?
42268Now, friends,he began,"who is going with me to Santa Fé?
42268Now, señorita,he said,"before I go to speak with him, tell me one thing: are you content to live?
42268Now, tell me,said Stephens,"what did you carry off the girl for?"
42268Now, whereabouts did the son of a gun leave it?
42268Of course I have heard-- but what do mere Indians matter? 42268 Oh, but, Sooshiuamo, why should I?"
42268Oh, my darling,he sighed,"how can I be content with that?
42268Oh, where is my father? 42268 Oh, you''ve been up on the mountains round here?"
42268Oh,returned the other,"is that it?
42268Or would you not like a little atole? 42268 Or would you prefer that I should do it for you?"
42268Pay the bill, and take the girl,that was the sum and substance of his argument;"and if her father wo n''t pay, will you?"
42268Say, Chiquita,and he addressed the younger girl,"do n''t you want a ride?
42268Say, do you mean to tell me that these are wild Indians, and you leave''em around here loose?
42268Say, have you forgotten your time on the Pecos at Bosque Redondo already? 42268 Say,"he began,"do you remember driving a man named Sam Argles, a miner from Prescott, over this line a month or two back?"
42268Say,said Stephens, when the first greetings were over,"what brings you down here so sudden- like?
42268See you not that Don Estevan is weary to the death? 42268 Shall I put them into the meadow as usual?"
42268She escape?
42268Shoot?
42268Silver mine?
42268Snake- bit, are you?
42268So, then, with that rag over your eyes you had no sort of idea where you were being taken to?
42268Surely I have met this man before, but where?
42268Tell me first,answered Felipe,"where is Salvador?
42268That so?
42268That so?
42268The boat, friend?
42268The boat?
42268Then what may I have the pleasure of being allowed to show you, señorita?
42268Then why the mischief could n''t you say so before, you plumb idiot?
42268Then will you put the ramrod into the bore and let us see how big a load you have got in it?
42268Then you deny having told him I was a squawman?
42268Tito,said Felipe very earnestly,"will you lend me your pistol?"
42268Trying to drown yourself there? 42268 Wal'', if he ai nt, what does he live with them Injuns for?
42268Wants my what?
42268Was it-- could it be possible? 42268 Was that all you were going to say?"
42268Was this information the knowledge of the secret mine? 42268 Well, Cacique,"he said aloud,"through?
42268Well, and why not?
42268Well, do you know of any detail of soldiers being despatched in this direction to look after the Navajos? 42268 Well, if you want her,"answered the Navajo,"why do n''t you come out of your hole and talk business?"
42268Well, it is your custom, is it not, that an unmarried woman belongs to her father, and that he can give her to anyone he pleases?
42268Well, what is it?
42268Well, what is it?
42268Well, who''d have thought that?
42268What are you doing here, Sooshiuamo? 42268 What are you doing?
42268What are you saying about things in the estufa?
42268What could he mean?
42268What do you break into my house for and interfere with me? 42268 What do you fear?
42268What do you think about it, señor?
42268What do you want with her?
42268What do you want with it? 42268 What does he want her for?"
42268What does he want with the horse? 42268 What does she mean?"
42268What for?
42268What is it that has come to him?
42268What is the best thing to be done?
42268What makes ye so sot on leavin''this Territory?
42268What makes you think that?
42268What mischief are you after?
42268What shall I do with the beasts?
42268What shall we do, Felipe?
42268What silver mine?
42268What sort of a man do you mean?
42268What would you do?
42268What''s all that amount to?
42268What''s he gone hunting Navajos for, though?
42268What''s the best move now?
42268What''s the joke, Mahletonkwa?
42268What''s the matter with him? 42268 What''s the matter with you?
42268What''s your reason anyway? 42268 What, do n''t you know?"
42268When did he do that?
42268When did it happen?
42268When was that? 42268 When we catch up with the Navajos, Cacique,"said Stephens,"what is your plan?"
42268Where am I going?
42268Where are the chiefs? 42268 Where are they?"
42268Where are you off to so quick?
42268Where can she be?
42268Where can she be?
42268Where d''you get that pistol?
42268Where did you say all this happened?
42268Where is Felipe? 42268 Where is the boat?"
42268Where''s Felipe, I ask you? 42268 Where''s Felipe?"
42268Where''s Felipe?
42268Where?
42268Who are those behind you? 42268 Who could have dreamed of such an attempt?"
42268Who is it?
42268Who is it?
42268Who is she? 42268 Who is with you?"
42268Who knows?
42268Who knows?
42268Who set you on to murder me?
42268Who sold it to you?
42268Who told you this?
42268Who was that shooting? 42268 Who''s with you, you young ruffian?"
42268Whom did I hire, him or you?
42268Whose cattle are they that he wants to kill? 42268 Why ca n''t men be brothers?"
42268Why ca n''t you tell it in Spanish so the rest of us may have a chance to join in the fun?
42268Why did n''t they keep a watch?
42268Why did you look so sad,he continued,"when you gave me the signal to- day?
42268Why do n''t you say''thank you''to the American señor for his kindness in giving you a ride on his mule?
42268Why do n''t you take to the business yourself?
42268Why do you refuse?
42268Why do your men shoot at me, Mahletonkwa? 42268 Why should I kill them?"
42268Why should I?
42268Why should n''t you jes''go back to your folks for the rest of the day,continued Backus,"and let''em know how you''re getting on?
42268Why wo n''t you lend it to me, Tito? 42268 Why, did you never see one?"
42268Why, he''s loading it just like a gun,cried a voice from the crowd;"but what''s he going to shoot?"
42268Why, what ails the boy?
42268Why, what the mischief are you up to now? 42268 Why, what''s up, Felipe?"
42268Why, where can she be?
42268Why, where is he?
42268Will you go, Benito?
42268Will you really dare to run away from them, and come with me? 42268 Yes, but can you go to him to- night, Felipe?"
42268Yes, but the boat,he almost shouted,"the boat, where is it?"
42268Yes, by the way, ai nt there a white squaw in the tribe somewheres?
42268Yes, mad, silly,assented the old man;"for why get angry?
42268Yes, why do n''t you ask him? 42268 Yes,"answered the American quietly;"but how should I do when I went off to the mountains prospecting?
42268Yes,returned Backus,"and if so what terms would you expect?"
42268You are coming to take dinner in my house presently, are you not, Don Estevan?
42268You bin long in these parts?
42268You do n''t mean to say you have to do the lot that way, picking out all those bits of rock one at a time?
42268You do n''t mean to tell me that''s true?
42268You do n''t suppose as I can remember the names of all the passengers I take?
42268You do n''t think she''s a white girl they''ve picked up and adopted, by any chance? 42268 You got leave from the agent to be off the reservation?"
42268You had the Santiago scouts with you?
42268You have saved me once,she whispered;"can you save me again?
42268You never thought to ask''em, I suppose?
42268You reckon she''s an Indian, then?
42268You trust him? 42268 You was on the Northern side, warn''t you?"
42268You will always be good to me, always?
42268You''re a d----d brave man, are n''t you?
42268_ Es tu_, Sooshiuamo?
42268_ Quien sabe?_But they told the cacique exactly where he would find them next day and then he could judge for himself.
42268''Ai nt that what you''re saying now-- something darned like a bluff?''
42268''Good morning, mister; will you shake hands?''
42268''Is that you?''
42268''Now, Rocky, tell me, is the whole of the Last Lap gone, the whole of the twelve thousand five hundred dollars?''
42268''Then what the h----l did you bring it here for?''
42268''Your share?''
42268--"Is it you, Sooshiuamo?"
42268About the man who was shot with his own rifle, you know?"
42268After all, what was a thousand dollars?
42268Ai nt it so, what I''ve said?"
42268Ai nt none of them been too much for you yet?"
42268Ai nt that the sort of way you''d put it if you were a human?
42268Ai nt there some extra high- toned women, now, in the Santiago tribe,--chief''s darters and the like, eh?"
42268All''s quiet along the Potomac, eh?"
42268And Don Estevan was not hit?
42268And about your food?
42268And how is your father, Don Nepomuceno?"
42268And my father,--is he safe?"
42268And then, could n''t you trade for, or borrow, some old stove- up pony, very cheap, and let him have that, too?
42268And they are very much afraid if they do n''t do it; oh yes, they are grossly superstitious; but how can I help it?
42268And where had Josefa been all this time?
42268And you wish for the doctor of the American soldiers to come and cure him?
42268Another man hurt?
42268Are the other two holes as deep as this?"
42268Are you content to go back in peace to your people?
42268Are you really ready now?"
42268Are you satisfied now?"
42268As the boy stepped outside, Stephens asked through the half- shut door,"Who''s going to look after my stock to- morrow?"
42268Backus?"
42268Backus?"
42268Because of Josefa?
42268Between ourselves, what does all that amount to?
42268But can you lend me the spade, for if not I must go home after one?"
42268But could he reach the Banded Mesa before they got there?
42268But do you think Don Nepomuceno and Don Andrés will be content to recover her like that?
42268But he had been discovered, for all that, and was there any further use in trying to conceal his exact position?
42268But how am I going to git''em?
42268But how could they have known of his crime when he had only found the spot an hour ago?
42268But no; he was not a Mexican, and why should he adopt their fashions in this?
42268But on what basis were they to deal?
42268But perhaps you have met him; is he a friend of yours?"
42268But say, stranger, do you happen to recollect what kind of a wepping you was carrying at Apache Cañon?
42268But say,"he added, stooping over her and drawing the pistol completely out,"would n''t you like me to leave this with you, just in case of accidents?
42268But the question arose, what was fair compensation?
42268But there were fears too: after all, might not her deliverer fail yet?
42268But what horse are you thinking of?
42268But where has she gone to?
42268But why ca n''t he take his own?"
42268But why could n''t he wait a little?
42268But you will really come, Josefa_ mia_?
42268But,"he added,"as Miguel even did n''t actually see her, might she not perhaps have escaped on foot?"
42268But,"he continued, touched a little by the boy''s evident distress,"what do you want to do there?
42268CHAPTER XXI DRIVING A BARGAIN And why was this debate between the American and the Navajos so stubborn and tedious?
42268Ca n''t you let it out?"
42268Ca n''t you tell me that much?"
42268Cacique, will you and a party of your warriors come with me on the war- trail against these scoundrels?
42268Can you get a saddle-- now-- to- night?"
42268Coarse gold, heavy gold, eh?"
42268Could he have missed his chance?
42268Could this attack be intended as a punishment on him for violating some old superstition of theirs, by making a fire here in the ruined pueblo?
42268Could this be some infernal trap?
42268Did I not tell you we were great trailers, Sooshiuamo?"
42268Did n''t I say before that they are very foolish, ignorant people?
42268Did n''t Sooshiuamo make him a prisoner because he thought he had?
42268Did n''t you hear something out yonder?"
42268Did n''t you spot the horn silver in it?
42268Did they never tell you anything about mines?"
42268Did you come with my father?
42268Did you never hear,"he continued to Stephens,"the song that the musician of San Remo has made about Mr. Coffee and Mr. Atole?
42268Do n''t you know that much?"
42268Do n''t you see how this hole points right straight up to heaven?
42268Do n''t you think it is a foolish story, Sooshiuamo?"
42268Do n''t you think so, Sooshiuamo?"
42268Do they deny it?
42268Do they say that he attacked the Indian first?"
42268Do you know where he is?
42268Do you mean to say that the Navajos are different from all other Indians?"
42268Do you mean to say you''re here all alone?
42268Do you mean to tell me that you make a deity of him?"
42268Do you really mean it?
42268Do you think that''ll do any good?"
42268Does he think we keep a horse for him to wear him to a skeleton flying round the country on him?
42268Don Andrés was a fine young fellow enough in his way, but why all this display of emotion because he was now to run rather more risk than usual?
42268Don Nepomuceno, will you pour in the silver?"
42268Eh, Sooshiuamo?"
42268Eh?
42268For him the question was,"Had the god struck to kill?
42268Had Felipe been deceiving him?
42268Had any new developments?"
42268Had she any special reason for thinking that her father and her brother were wounded or slain?
42268Had you anything to eat?"
42268Have any of you seen her?"
42268Have you killed him?"
42268Have you shot any of them?"
42268Having got his pipe thoroughly alight and returned his tobacco- bag to his pocket, he looked at Mahletonkwa, and said,"You come from Fort Defiance?"
42268He hated a mob of people on principle, but was he so particularly glad to get away from her?
42268He knocked at Reyna''s door, and when she appeared he said apologetically,"Wo n''t you let me bring in a wounded man who wants seeing to?"
42268He thought of the girl sitting there all alone in the cave, and his kindly heart longed to say,"What''s a thousand dollars, more or less?
42268He was the stronger; how could she resist?
42268How about them knowing where the mine is?"
42268How can I talk to you properly when I can not see you?
42268How can I teach them better?
42268How could everything go on so quietly when such a wicked thing had just been done?
42268How did you find us?"
42268How did you manage it?"
42268How do you feel now?
42268How far could they trust each other?
42268How had this American come to be living here by himself in a remote village community of the Pueblo Indians?
42268How long had he slept?
42268How long have you been a miner?"
42268How much did you say will be needed?"
42268How should I know anything about the Snakes''business?"
42268How was it?"
42268How will you like it; how will you like it?"
42268How''s that for high, eh?"
42268How''s that for high?"
42268I got back to our hotel that night about ten o''clock, and a man says to me,''D''you know where your pard Rocky''s gone?''
42268I know I ought never to have left Rocky with that money on him; but what was I to do?
42268I reckon he is a squawman, ai nt he?"
42268I say, Cacique, what is it that you want to do with the brute, anyhow?
42268I think, Mahletonkwa,"he addressed the Indian,"we agreed that I should give your rifle''s weight in silver, was it not so?"
42268I took her away from her father because he was half- murdering her, and I want to see her safe married to this cub of mine here,--what''s his name?
42268I wonder if he''s managed to plug him?
42268I wonder if there are any more around?"
42268I wonder is Rocky dead?
42268I wonder where he was from?"
42268I wonder who he was?"
42268I wonder, now, if he could have kept a grudge against me for that old wound at Apache Cañon?
42268I''m off again, I expect, shortly, to Colorado, you see; and what would I do with the cook then?"
42268If there was to be a fuss, how could they make their escape before it began?
42268If you have a notion in your head to do anything, better not let folks see you, as it were, waiting for anyone-- you understand?"
42268If you thought you had the best right to this money why did n''t you go to a lawyer and enter suit for it?''
42268Is he much hurt?"
42268Is it a good vein?
42268Is it flour you have to fetch?"
42268Is it not true, my brothers?"
42268Is it really true?"
42268Is it this side?"
42268Is it''yes''or''no''?"
42268Is n''t that enough?"
42268Is not that so?"
42268Is she married?"
42268Is that you there, Mahletonkwa?"
42268Is there anything new?"
42268It would really make you very happy, it would make your heart quite free of sorrow, if this money were paid and things settled in that way?"
42268It''s a little sudden- like, but I have a reason for it; allers no offence, you understand?"
42268It''s all in the family, eh?"
42268It''s all out of kindness, is n''t it, that he''s going to make the rocks fly away out of the acequia to- morrow?
42268It''s just simply this-- did you ever kill a rattlesnake?"
42268Leave her with her father to be beaten to death?
42268Let me see, how does it go?
42268Manuelita tried to ask,"And what of Don Estevan?"
42268May not I get in by the terrace roof?
42268My brothers, say, is it good?"
42268Now, ai nt I right?"
42268Now, do n''t you remember?"
42268Now, how am I going to find her alone?"
42268Now, s''posin''I was to tell you of a mine in this neighbourhood, you''d be willing to do that with me?"
42268Of course, Felipe, it is n''t possible that you could have any whiskey?"
42268Of what joy had not his desolate past robbed him?
42268Oh yes, Mr. Coffee begins, and he says to the other jokingly:"''Como te va, amigo Atole?
42268Oh, did n''t I know it?
42268Oh, he killed the Indian that shot young Sandoval, did he?
42268One of his?"
42268Pretend to blush and be embarrassed, and play the funny man generally?
42268Say, look at here,"--he dropped his voice slightly,--"how about them velvet- eyed Mexican señoritas?
42268Say, look here, could n''t we work it between us, somehow, to get them Indians to show us the spot?"
42268Say, though,"he continued, more warily,"you''ll excuse my axin'', but was you never in New Mexico before this last year?"
42268Say, where d''you get any round here?"
42268Say, wo n''t you take a drink?
42268See?
42268See?
42268See?"
42268Shall I say,''Thanks very much, my good friend, but I''m not taking any, this time''?
42268She knew no English, but her quick brain divined that when he asked,"Did you ever kill a man?"
42268Shoot with sacrilegious gunpowder against the home of The Shiuana, of"Those Above"?
42268Should he break silence and answer?
42268Some of the First Families of New Mexico, eh?"
42268Stephens?"
42268Suppose now that these chaps have n''t seen us, why should n''t we do as well?"
42268Thar ai nt nothing wrong?"
42268That ar''time you was in New Mexico years ago that you spoke of just now, was you, by any chance, at the battle of Apache Cañon?"
42268That is far away from the settlements; he ca n''t get into much trouble up there, can he?"
42268That over there means the Navajos have come in with the lost horses, I suppose?"
42268The Spaniards have a riddling proverb which asks,"What is the cheapest thing on earth?"
42268The idea occurred to him, why not pass it on?
42268The question was, would they try it?
42268The thought occurred to him as he moved away,--should he speak to the girl''s father?
42268Then aloud in Spanish:"What''s the good of all that tomfool business?"
42268Then arose the question-- what had been his object?
42268Then he broke in--"But if I ca n''t get in without disturbing them, how will you be able to get out?"
42268Then why should n''t he try a bluff, too?
42268There might be more dangers around, more plots that Felipe knew nothing of?
42268There''s only one question I''m going to ask you, and that''s this-- do you want your ditch fixed up, or do n''t you?
42268They might have heard of that little affair of the seven Navajos in the sweat- house, eh?
42268This fire- blackened, clay- plastered angle of the wall, to what unending succession of house- mothers and house- fathers did it not speak?
42268To what end?
42268Wal'', when are you going to ask me to come and meet Miss Pocahontas?"
42268Was everyone against him?
42268Was he too late?
42268Was he, after all, so particularly glad to be off by himself once more?
42268Was it not you who tried to send for the soldiers when we came to claim compensation?"
42268Was it too late?
42268Was the Americano, of all men in the world, to be the one to supplant him?
42268Was the voice nearer than before?
42268Was there nothing she might do, weak woman as she was, to help him?
42268Was this a move to get him off his guard?
42268Was this only a trick of the Navajos to get him off his guard?
42268Well, how am I going to decline?
42268Were they in earnest in this expedition, or were they only trifling with him?
42268Were they there?"
42268What business was it of his anyhow?
42268What did it all mean, and what was one put here for, anyway?
42268What did you do?
42268What did you want to kill me for?"
42268What do I know about his Sam Argleses?
42268What do you mean?
42268What do you say?"
42268What do you think that son of his, Andrés, has been up to?
42268What do your folks do with them in the estufa?
42268What does he want to see me for, d''you know?"
42268What has he done with Josefa?"
42268What have I been doing all day, anyhow?"
42268What is there to prevent you?"
42268What madness is this?"
42268What makes you come bothering me now?"
42268What other woman would be so brave?"
42268What shall I do?
42268What shall we do for a horse?
42268What should he know about these Sanchez folks anyway?
42268What the blazes are they at now?"
42268What was the use of being a woman of Santiago if she might n''t have some say in the matter?
42268What was there about this man that melted their obduracy?
42268What will you do if I go ahead alone?"
42268What would you have had me do?
42268What''s a horse for but to ride?"
42268What''s his name, do you know?"
42268What''s up?"
42268What''s wrong with you anyway?"
42268What?
42268When did you ever hear of a professional gambler giving up the stakes after he''d won''em?''
42268Where are Tostado and Benito and the rest?"
42268Where are the soldiers?"
42268Where are you going, Felipe?"
42268Where are you struck?"
42268Where is my daughter?"
42268Where is she?"
42268Where''s your plate?"
42268Which of them did you have?--the cacique?"
42268Who are them ducks a- coming up the road?
42268Who could believe that it might ever live again?
42268Who dressed this for you?"
42268Who else?"
42268Who ever saw the like of it?"
42268Who had asked this intruder to spy on the expression of the girl''s face?
42268Who is it, then?
42268Who is she, I wonder, anyway?"
42268Who is there?
42268Why are things made so hard for us?"
42268Why could you not wait only one day longer?"
42268Why did n''t I ever think of that before?
42268Why did not the cacique''s horse stumble and fall and kill him as he deserved?
42268Why do n''t you ask Don Nepomuceno, now, for his darter?
42268Why do n''t you bring the girl back quietly?"
42268Why do n''t you get your father''s horse?"
42268Why does your gun point my way?"
42268Why not take my father''s?
42268Why on earth did I lie there like a log all this time?
42268Why should he come and kill them?"
42268Why should n''t we go in together, sort of partners like, and work your silver mine together in the same sort of way?
42268Why should n''t you tackle her?
42268Why should she be treated as a slave, as the savage Utes treated their women?
42268Why should you want to go back to Colorado and begin it all over again?"
42268Why was life so full of injustice and cruelty?
42268Why, hallo, Faro, old man,"said he aloud, on finding the dog at his heels,"what''s up with you?
42268Why, you murderous young cub, what devilment are you up to now?"
42268Why?
42268Will he not turn us out?"
42268Will they be content before they have shed blood for her wrongs?"
42268Will you come around with me, Rocky?"
42268Will you have something to eat?"
42268Will you try me?"
42268Will you, then, fire off the load that''s in it now, and put in another here before us all, that we may see how big a load you use?"
42268Will you?"
42268Wo n''t you come in and see him?
42268Wo n''t you serve this young lady first?"
42268Wounded and weaponless, what could he do against the murderous firearm in the hands of the cacique?
42268You are just from headquarters at Santa Fé, Doctor, are n''t you?"
42268You felt like''men''there, did n''t you, when you were grubbing for roots and catching grasshoppers and lizards to eat like a lot of dirty Diggers?"
42268You know they think when they die they will go to another place?"
42268You promise that?"
42268You think he''s a good man?"
42268You want this girl to come here?
42268You''ll join us in a_ tragito_, wo n''t you, Don Nepomuceno?"
42268You''re not bound for Wingate?"
42268You''re sure, now, you wo n''t get scared?"
42268_ Sabe?_"He helped the boy to his feet and led him to the door.
42268_ Sabe?_"The sons of the desert looked one at another, and curious excited sounds came from their lips, and significant gestures were made.
42268and this might seem a good time and place to pay off old scores?"
42268and what do you want?"
42268and where are they?"
42268are you one of them?"
42268asked Backus of himself;"and how far back was it that I got a squint of his track last?"
42268asked Stephens;"an American?"
42268asked Stephens;"the Navajos?"
42268but I wish I had stayed down there last night; but how could I or anyone have imagined such a thing as this?
42268cried Stephens, springing forward;"do n''t you hear me?
42268cried Stephens,"Manuelita?"
42268going off to Colorado?"
42268had she been alone too?
42268he exclaimed,"do you know what you''ve got hold of here?
42268he had reached her,--could he rescue her?
42268he retorted jeeringly,"where are your friends now?
42268or would he be content to punish and pardon?"
42268said I;''what would I do that for?
42268said Stephens;"and you did n''t pass any troops on the road anywhere along?"
42268said she,"and how?
42268said the Texan,"so they''re keeping her locked up tight, eh?
42268she asked;"no brother or sister?"
42268she exclaimed,"but can you doubt it for an instant?
42268so soon?
42268the American exclaimed, seizing his rifle;"but how?
42268was that somebody talking?
42268what''s that under the Lone Pine in the middle of the meadow?"
42268what''s that?
42268what''s this?
42268when did you ever know me go to carrying on with any of the women in the pueblo?
42268where is Andrés?"
42268who''s there?"
42268why is n''t it saddled?"
42268would he, single- handed, be able to prevail over these savages?
33612A match?
33612About what?
33612About what?
33612Afraid, is ut?
33612After you had signed it and French had witnessed it?
33612Ai n''t they givin''even money against the field? 33612 Am I?"
33612Am I?
33612An''wud I that has lived wid four men be afraid iv a bear? 33612 And I''m like them, you think?"
33612And Jerry and Larry, too?
33612And admitting that,Angus returned,"will you act like a sensible girl?"
33612And do you want Mackay to kill you?
33612And have you known this girl friend of hers, long, too?
33612And how about:''But the word, the word is mine When the order moves the line, And the lean, locked ranks go roaring down to die,''?"
33612And how is the patient?
33612And how the devil do you know that I can or will tell you what you want to know? 33612 And is Mr. Foley here on the ranch?"
33612And let you walk? 33612 And what has that got to do with the levels of this land?"
33612And what is it this morning, judge?
33612And what is that?
33612And what sort of medicine is it for me to have a drunken blackguard of a brother run out on the street to hold up the rig I''m driving in?
33612And why could n''t ye say so before?
33612And you did n''t believe it?
33612And you want to know why I''m here?
33612Angus,she said,"what has Turkey done?"
33612Any advance? 33612 Any special one?"
33612Are you going to keep me waiting seven years, as Rebecca kept Joseph?
33612Are you hurt much? 33612 Are you ill?
33612Are you sure this is right?
33612Are you sure?
33612Are you telling me to mind my own business?
33612Are you that strong?
33612Are you the Mr. Mackay who has a ranch somewhere near here?
33612Are you threatening me with a lawsuit?
33612Are you threatening me?
33612Are you trying to blackmail me?
33612Are you trying to kid me? 33612 Are you trying to tell me to play it safe?"
33612Are you?
33612Before I leave here,Angus said,"you will tell me what I want to know, or--""Or what?"
33612Both of''em?
33612Braden fixed them, did he?
33612Bus''ness?
33612Busy?
33612But Angus, what are you going to do?
33612But I do n''t want--"Yez want coin, do yez? 33612 But a man who is out of a place does n''t work, does he?"
33612But at all events within, say, forty- eight hours?
33612But could n''t we find the corner- posts if the land was surveyed?
33612But how can he account for the existence of two sets of deeds?
33612But if French paid only about three dollars for the land and split the difference with somebody, could n''t Miss Winton claim the difference?
33612But if it is my land, how can Mr. Braden say it''s his?
33612But if you knew that, why the deuce did you play with them?
33612But suppose he does n''t resist arrest?
33612But suppose you do n''t get clear?
33612But what are we going to do about it?
33612But what are you working at? 33612 But what seems to be the matter with you?"
33612But what work could I do for you?
33612But where did he get the money?
33612But who did this? 33612 But who would do it, Angus?"
33612But who would rustle them?
33612But why did n''t you tell me these things before?
33612But-- can you afford it?
33612Ca n''t I?
33612Ca n''t we get him to come back, Angus?
33612Can they make it?
33612Can you come in to- morrow? 33612 Come through with that money, or----""Or what?"
33612Cost?
33612Could they have gone farther?
33612Could you see what it was?
33612Cruising?
33612D''ye think we''re going to be cold- decked by a bunch of hicks?
33612Damn it, Kit,her brother replied,"why did n''t you say something like that before?
33612Did I say so?
33612Did I-- What makes you ask that?
33612Did he ever tell you why his remittances had stopped?
33612Did n''t you just see me raise him out? 33612 Did n''t you know it?"
33612Did she say I was homely?
33612Did up Braden?
33612Did what?
33612Did you ever hear of anybody gettin''plum''through, say to Cache River, that way?
33612Did you go to see that fight you was speakin''of?
33612Did you say I was skinny?
33612Did you see him?
33612Did your mother make them?
33612Do I know the land?
33612Do I mean it?
33612Do I not know ye for what ye are-- a little lady born an''bred, pure- minded an''high- minded? 33612 Do n''t they?
33612Do n''t you compare conveyances before execution in your office?
33612Do n''t you like to pick peas with me?
33612Do n''t you read things over before you sign and have your signature witnessed? 33612 Do n''t you s''pose I''ve been in the game long enough to know it?
33612Do you do anything?
33612Do you have any fun at all?
33612Do you know anything about it?
33612Do you know anything about the horses?
33612Do you know how strong you are?
33612Do you know that you are lucky not to be badly hurt?
33612Do you know the land?
33612Do you know what I weigh?
33612Do you know what he is going to do in this country?
33612Do you know what my trunk weighs?
33612Do you mean Blake French?
33612Do you mean Turkey?
33612Do you mean he gets away with it?
33612Do you mean he''s dead?
33612Do you mean old Godfrey French''s ranch?
33612Do you mean that I shall marry for money?
33612Do you mean that he is dead?
33612Do you mean that you question the truth of my words?
33612Do you mean that?
33612Do you mean the old Tetreau place?
33612Do you mean to tell me,Faith accused him severely,"that on top of all your deceptions you have a title?
33612Do you mean you bluffed him?
33612Do you mean,he queried with a scowl when Mr. Braden had stated the case succinctly,"that the ranch will be sold?"
33612Do you suppose it''s so?
33612Do you think I''m such a dashed cad as that? 33612 Do you think she can succeed-- make the ranch pay eventually?"
33612Do you think the land is worth more than I have offered?
33612Do you think you can make me do things merely because you''re stronger?
33612Do you want me to handle you?
33612Do you want to hang?
33612Does it go?
33612Does n''t that make my offer all the fairer?
33612Drunk, is he?
33612En bloc?
33612Even if I am a pilgrim?
33612Even money against the field?
33612Everything all right, Davy?
33612Faith Winton French?
33612Folks depending on you?
33612For Blake?
33612For instance?
33612For sale?
33612For taking the gift of a good horse?
33612For what?
33612For what?
33612Gavin French, did you kill my father?
33612Get me, will you?
33612Go and saddle Pincher for me, will you? 33612 Gone out?
33612Good as that? 33612 Good heavens, is there_ that_?
33612Good race, was n''t it?
33612Good travelin''?
33612H-- how?
33612Has any one made you an offer?
33612Has anybody asked you to?
33612Has he bought any land yet?
33612Has she made it up with Chetwood yet?
33612Have you any connection with Braden?
33612Have you any idea what you will do? 33612 Have you any money left to bet on that?"
33612Have you ever thought of selling the land instead of ranching it? 33612 Have you had any trouble with Blake?"
33612Have you heard anything fresh lately?
33612Have you nerves, too?
33612Have you seen any of my brothers? 33612 Have you the consummate impudence to imagine that my niece would think twice of an ignorant young hawbuck without birth or education?
33612Have you told my niece that in your opinion the land is worthless?
33612He has the title papers?
33612He''s not-- dead-- Jean?
33612He''s-- well, we thought he might feel better if--"Is he dhrunk, bad scran till him?
33612Heavy?
33612Hey, Dave?
33612Him cooley kuitan, hey?
33612How about a get- away now?
33612How about lending me this money?
33612How about yourself?
33612How are we going to get onto it?
33612How are you fixed for matches and smoking?
33612How did Braden know?
33612How did I know I was butting in?
33612How did it happen?
33612How did you get lost, and where from?
33612How did you get lost?
33612How do you know it now?
33612How do you know we can?
33612How do you like this Chetwood?
33612How do you spell it?
33612How far have you ever gone yourself?
33612How high will you go?
33612How long are we going to be chased all over these hills? 33612 How long do you s''pose it''ll take to put in this flume?"
33612How long''s he been actin''that way, Dave?
33612How many brothers and sisters have you?
33612How much do you want to bet?
33612How much have you got here?
33612How much?
33612How on earth did you get this?
33612How on earth did you know I was thinking of that?
33612How was his wind to- day when you exercised him?
33612How''s McLatchie?
33612How?
33612I am Faith Winton, but how do you know? 33612 I did n''t know you then,"said Turkey,"but do you know what I thought?"
33612I do n''t know what you mean?
33612I do n''t s''pose you''d eat these, would you? 33612 I mean phwat religion are ye, or ai n''t ye?"
33612I say, what was all the row about?
33612I say,he exclaimed,"I do n''t wish to seem impertinent, but is there any personal reason why I should let Braden suppose I am doing this on my own?"
33612I suppose you know that your father would n''t like it?
33612I wanted to ask you if you could do with another man on your ranch?
33612I wonder if I would know her?
33612I wonder if Jean knew?
33612I wonder if he''s putting something over; I wonder if she_ does_ own this, and Braden has framed something on her?
33612I wonder if that old blighter, Braden, knew this?
33612I''ve felt like telling you before, but what was the use? 33612 I''ve got to get out of these mountains, have n''t I?
33612If a man has those qualities, is n''t he a gentleman?
33612If it is in my interest not to buy is n''t it in my niece''s interest to sell?
33612If it is obvious why is n''t your mind made up?
33612If they keep on for the head waters they get into mighty bad country, hey, Dave?
33612If ye know so much, why ai n''t ye got a half section or bether of yer own, instid of dhrillin''along a hired man?
33612If you would take Finn? 33612 If you''re such a darn''wise gazabo, why do n''t you find''em?"
33612Iktah mamook?
33612In that case would you consider it your duty to warn the intending purchaser?
33612In the quaint idiom of the country, far be it from me to horn in, but if I''m not impertinent, how did you do it?
33612In what particular?
33612In what way?
33612Is Mackay th''name iv ye? 33612 Is Miss Winton at home?"
33612Is he crazy? 33612 Is he hurt?
33612Is he that? 33612 Is it anything I''ve said?"
33612Is it?
33612Is n''t what?
33612Is she going to sell? 33612 Is she pretty, Angus?"
33612Is that so, Bill?
33612Is that so?
33612Is that so?
33612Is that so?
33612Is that so?
33612Is that what you were running your horse for? 33612 Is that you?"
33612Is that your trouble?
33612Is there anything I can do?
33612Is this young fellow bidding for you?
33612It ain''t-- what?
33612It looks like it,Angus admitted,"but still I do n''t understand--""What?"
33612It was n''t so bad, was it?
33612It will be like turning the knife, wo n''t it?
33612It''s not my fault, is it?
33612It''s you, is it?
33612It''s you, is it?
33612Just as it stands-- stock, implements and all?
33612Just finding out that old Doughnuts can travel when he has to?
33612Kissing each other?
33612Knocked the loan, hey? 33612 Like his looks, Pete?"
33612Like this? 33612 Look here,"he said,"are you going to make trouble for me-- I mean are you going to try to?"
33612Look here,said Kathleen French,"has Blake been drinking?"
33612Lost, are you?
33612Lying, am I?
33612Make a stand, hey?
33612May I call you''Turkey''?
33612Me name, is ut? 33612 Me?
33612Mebbe- so you catch white boy to ride um?
33612Mebbe- so you like pray?
33612Mortgage?
33612My deeds? 33612 Myself?
33612Next time?
33612Nice ranch, this,said the driver,"Yours?"
33612No cold-- no stoppage of the nostrils?
33612No? 33612 Nor can you positively identify the documents you saw Braden abstract from French''s safe?"
33612Not dead?
33612Not really?
33612Now what do you think of that?
33612Now what misguided idiot thought a law office worth robbing? 33612 Now what the devil is up?
33612Now what''s the next play?
33612Of what, Billy?
33612Oh, are you badly hurt? 33612 Oh, are_ you_ here?"
33612Oh, is that it?
33612Oh, you think it funny, do you? 33612 On a visit to Jean?"
33612On what? 33612 Or was he just trying to hang something on Gavin?"
33612Ought I?
33612Perhaps your stenographer might remember? 33612 Phwat gyurl friend?"
33612Pleasant evening, what?
33612Poole a competent man?
33612Pup, hey?
33612Say what? 33612 Say,"he said,"do you know a hard- faced bird, near as big as you are but older and heavier, that looks like a bad actor and likes the juice?
33612Say--"Well?
33612Shake?
33612Shall I call you''Angus''?
33612Shall I send him home?
33612Shall we sit down and talk? 33612 She''s living here now, is n''t she?"
33612Should n''t we be making some definite plans?
33612Singing?
33612Skookum, you?
33612So that''s the ground you take, is it?
33612Somethin''doing''?
33612Sore, are you? 33612 Sponges?"
33612Strong?
33612Suppose French, feeling his end approaching, gave it to his niece?
33612Suppose I forgot it?
33612Suppose he had given her the others, where would you be?
33612Suppose we do n''t win?
33612Suppose you tell me what the idea is?
33612Th''barkeep?
33612That you, Chetwood?
33612That''s the outfit that owns this Flambeau horse, ai n''t it?
33612That''s your last word, is it?
33612That''s yours, is n''t it?
33612The gift?
33612The gun? 33612 The old man?"
33612The pipes? 33612 Then I wonder what she''d have said about my figurehead if I had n''t?"
33612Then the size of it is, that we lose the ranch?
33612Then what on earth are you doing with the horse?
33612Then what on earth made you work as a ranch hand?
33612Then what the devil does?
33612Then who discovered the error?
33612Then why does Braden ask so much?
33612Then why does he want to buy the ranch now?
33612Then why does n''t one do something?
33612Then why have n''t you got a ranch of your own, instead of hoboing it around, renting places?
33612Then why is n''t Blake here?
33612Then why not advise her to get rid of it?
33612Then why not this? 33612 Then you think it a good investment?"
33612Then, Miss Mackay,Chetwood demanded,"what is the meaning of your conduct?"
33612Then, instid of feedin''him why do n''t ye t''run him out?
33612Then,said Angus,"this survey wo n''t take in that round mountain at all?"
33612Then--?
33612They accused you of cheating, what?
33612They would n''t hey?
33612They''re the same, are they?
33612This was one of the things you could make me do because you were stronger, was it? 33612 Throw me out, hey?
33612To do? 33612 To hurt me?
33612Trail?
33612Trying to get rid of me, are you? 33612 Twelve thousand?"
33612Very hard situation, is n''t it?
33612Violent? 33612 Was that right sir?
33612Was the horse uneasy before that?
33612Wedding? 33612 Well, Angus, do you want any Flambeau money?"
33612Well, glory be, an''what else is a gyurl''s waist an''a man''s arrum for?
33612Well, what about it?
33612Well, who are you?
33612Well, why should I think of you?
33612Well, why the devil should I help you stand off that bunch, then? 33612 Well, would n''t that show that both deeds were drawn seven years ago?"
33612Well,he said,"what you lookin''at?"
33612Well,said the lady in accents which left no doubt of her nationality,"well, misther man, an''phwat will yez be wantin''?"
33612Well,she asked,"what do you think?
33612Well,snapped Mr. Braden,"what would you have me do?
33612Well?
33612Well?
33612Well?
33612Well?
33612Well?
33612Well?
33612Well?

33612What about it? 33612 What about it?"
33612What am I offered for this property?
33612What are all these things and all this work going to cost?
33612What are those marks on your throat?
33612What are you going to do about it, Mac?
33612What are you thinking of?
33612What are you trying to do?
33612What are you up to, anyway?
33612What could they do with them? 33612 What did I tell you?"
33612What did you do that for?
33612What did you quarrel about? 33612 What did you say?"
33612What did you think I was?
33612What do I care about your clothes? 33612 What do you call fair?"
33612What do you hold it at?
33612What do you know about it?
33612What do you know about work?
33612What do you mean by that?
33612What do you mean?
33612What do you say?
33612What do you take me for, anyway? 33612 What do you think of this lay- out?"
33612What do you think, Dave?
33612What do you want here?
33612What do you want that for?
33612What do you want them for-- if they''re no good?
33612What do you want?
33612What does he know about Flambeau?
33612What does your father do for a living?
33612What does your uncle think about it?
33612What for-- if he ca n''t talk?
33612What for?
33612What happened? 33612 What happened?"
33612What has that to do with the coal?
33612What have you got there?
33612What have you got to say about it?
33612What is it?
33612What is there?
33612What is this?
33612What is your name, please?
33612What kind of a con game is this? 33612 What made her think she owned the thing?"
33612What made you alter your advice?
33612What made you think that?
33612What makes you think it would be best to rent the place-- to a competent man?
33612What makes you think they did it?
33612What men? 33612 What on earth do you know about love, Angus Mackay?"
33612What sort of an accident?
33612What started it?
33612What started it?
33612What the devil are you croaking for? 33612 What the devil are you doing with him?"
33612What the hell can you do with a woman, anyway?
33612What was the hurry, old girl? 33612 What was the-- er-- cause of death?"
33612What were you trying to do-- kill me?
33612What will he have to do with it?
33612What will it be worth?
33612What would you like?
33612What you got? 33612 What you mamook?

33612What''s the matter with_ you_?
33612What''s the matter, Mary?
33612What''s the matter, kid?
33612What''s the matter?
33612What''s the matter?
33612What''s the matter?
33612What''s the matter?
33612What''s the matter?
33612What''s the matter?
33612What''s the rush, Dave?
33612What''s the use of supposing that?
33612What''s the use of this?
33612What''s this?
33612What''s wrong?
33612What?
33612What?
33612What?
33612What?
33612Whatever are you reading? 33612 Whatever is the matter?"
33612When shall I see you again?
33612When_ is_ the wedding?
33612Where are they?
33612Where are they?
33612Where are they?
33612Where are those deeds? 33612 Where did you get it?"
33612Where did you get the hay to fill Dolly''s manger?
33612Where did you get these?
33612Where did you go last night-- to Faith''s?
33612Where did you meet him?
33612Where do ye get this gyurl friend thing, anyway?
33612Where do you come in?
33612Where is Blake? 33612 Where is all the blood coming from?"
33612Where is the polish, anyway?
33612Where is this land?
33612Where would he get it?
33612Where would your line run?
33612Where''d you put in that shot, Gus, when you was tryin''to shake her?
33612Where?
33612Which way has she gone?
33612Whining?
33612Who are you?
33612Who asked ye to do ut? 33612 Who bought him?"
33612Who did it?
33612Who else? 33612 Who gets it?
33612Who gets it?
33612Who got you drunk?
33612Who holds the mortgage?
33612Who is he?
33612Who is the remarkable liar?
33612Who is there?
33612Who opened it this far on that water?
33612Who stays with the horses?
33612Who were you with?
33612Who would do a trick like that?
33612Who''s the other fellow?
33612Whose orders?
33612Why ca n''t we?
33612Why did n''t you call me?
33612Why did n''t you destroy the other one?
33612Why did n''t you get a loan somewhere and pay him off?
33612Why did n''t you tell me what she was like?
33612Why do n''t you tell me to mind my own darn business?
33612Why do you want to know?
33612Why does he want to buy?
33612Why else?
33612Why not Blake, if it is a breed?
33612Why not let it come to a show- down now?
33612Why not? 33612 Why not?
33612Why not?
33612Why not?
33612Why should I care whether you work or not?
33612Why should he do that?
33612Why should n''t you? 33612 Why were you and French trying to buy my wife''s property?"
33612Why, Jean?
33612Why, they''re not married, are they?
33612Why, what''s the matter with him, Dave?
33612Why,she exclaimed, her brown eyes opening wide,"do you suppose that hail struck the ranch?"
33612Why? 33612 Why?"
33612Why?
33612Why?
33612Why?
33612Why?
33612Why?
33612Will he give you a fair price?
33612Will it leave you stranded?
33612Will it?
33612Will that be why you will marry-- some day?
33612Will you answer me one question straight?
33612Will you carry sweet peas?
33612Will you come to work now?
33612Will you get on your horse and pull out?
33612Will you pick those spuds?
33612Will you please let go my hand?
33612Wind? 33612 With horses?"
33612Wo n''t you wash your face and hands, please?
33612Would you like me to carry you, too?
33612Would you like me to work?
33612Ye run th''ranch f''r th''ould man, did ye?
33612Yes, would n''t it? 33612 Yes,"Angus replied,"why should n''t she?
33612You ai n''t heard? 33612 You are able to meet them?"
33612You are going away?
33612You believe in that?
33612You can see for yourself, ca n''t you?
33612You catch um jock?
33612You could n''t tell who it was?
33612You did n''t come here to say that, did you?
33612You did n''t recognize any of them, of course?
33612You do n''t like the idea? 33612 You do n''t think I''m afraid, do you?"
33612You do n''t, hey?
33612You do, hey?
33612You feel skookum to- day?
33612You have n''t sold anything yet?
33612You have your title deeds all in order, in case you should want to sell?
33612You know the conditions of sale, young man?
33612You mean he paints pictures?
33612You mean you think Braden was trying to get back the original deeds?
33612You mean you''ll lend me the money?
33612You nanitch good for them moos- moos? 33612 You saw him-- kiss me, Angus?"
33612You think Injun kapswalla them moos- moos?
33612You wo n''t mind waiting till Larry comes back, Mr. Braden? 33612 You''ll take me there, wo n''t you, like a nice boy?"
33612You''ll tell him, will you?
33612You''re damned anxious to sell the ranch, are n''t you?
33612You''re going to buy a wedding ring and you do n''t know when you''ll be married?
33612You''ve heard nothing about the-- er-- deeds since you gave them to her?
33612You?
33612Your dope on what?
33612A coward?
33612A match, is ut?
33612Able to drive, is he?
33612All set?"
33612An''f''r why should a young widdy woman like yerself go lonely all yer days?"
33612And at last-- Do you know what there is at last, Angus?"
33612And he added wickedly:"Do n''t you know these woods are full of grizzlies and cougars and wolves?
33612And how is your father?"
33612And is it yours, or-- remittances?"
33612And then s''pose she goes out again?"
33612And then, on top of it all, what do you think Angus is going to do?"
33612And what of it?"
33612And what''s this about his working for Mackay?"
33612And who gave you the authority to fix my fee?"
33612And why for no, father?"
33612And why was Braden talking to him?
33612Any of the French boys in the house?"
33612Any of your bunch get it hard?"
33612Any other offers?"
33612Anybody else want it?
33612Anything else?"
33612Are there any other offers?
33612Are you betting on him?"
33612Are you in the habit of picking up trunks like that as if they were meat platters, and girls as if they were babies?
33612Are you sure this is the property his daughter meant?"
33612Are you too proud to do me that kindness?"
33612Blake, do you want to quit us?
33612Bright thought, what?"
33612But had he actually seen a face, or was it some freak of vision?
33612But how could he know who had the deeds?
33612But if it belonged to her or to her father how could Braden sell it?
33612But if it is-- what then?"
33612But in some families-- What do you think of our family?"
33612But is_ she_ pretty?"
33612But meantime who pays the mortgage?"
33612But phwat''s a muckstick to knives?
33612But that is why people get married, is n''t it?"
33612But what do you think of my humble home?
33612But what do you want to do yourself?
33612But what sort of a run do you think I''ll get for it?"
33612But what the devil is the use of cake if you do n''t eat it?
33612But what was the use of going on?
33612But what was this about the ditch?
33612But what_ are_ you going to do?"
33612But who can speak with greater authority-- I, or the man who never took a drink in his life?"
33612But who could be using powder on her property?
33612But why had Blake quit them?
33612But wo n''t you ask him?"
33612But would n''t you like to know me better?"
33612Buy it?
33612Ca n''t you get it through your head that you''re almost a man?"
33612Ca n''t you take a little help from a friend who would take it from you?
33612Can you do that, hey?"
33612Can you take a drink of water?
33612Can you understand such foolishness?"
33612Can you understand that, Angus Mackay?
33612Chetwood offered to lend it to me or endorse my note, but----""Chetwood, hey?"
33612Could n''t one of you have come?"
33612Did I ride him too hard?"
33612Did he mention any amount that he was prepared to invest?"
33612Did you ever hear of Sir Eustace Chetwood?"
33612Did you see his face when he saw that he would be overbidden?
33612Do n''t you like me?"
33612Do the Indians know this white man?"
33612Do they know she''s bad up there?"
33612Do you get that, Blake?
33612Do you get that, Garland, and you, Poole?"
33612Do you get that?"
33612Do you know I hold your note?
33612Do you know what it means?"
33612Do you mean that my explanations are not satisfactory?"
33612Do you mind answering one or two questions?"
33612Do you mind it very much?"
33612Do you suppose I thought Garland was putting up himself?"
33612Do you suppose he could rent the place, no matter whether I wanted to or not, or was he only running a sandy?"
33612Do you think I do n''t know where the money came from for a lot of things-- for blowing Mackay''s ditch for instance?
33612Do you think I''d wear it if I did n''t?"
33612Do you think I''m not wise to you?"
33612Do you think, after telling him that, I''d marry him now that he has money?
33612Do you understand that?"
33612Does that go?"
33612Faith whispered,"Who is he?"
33612Feel the blood starting yet?"
33612For instance, there is a rancher named Poole-- know him?"
33612Had Garland, after all, made a dicker with Mackay?
33612Had Mackay got those infernal deeds?
33612Had he paid ten dollars of Winton''s money?
33612Has any one ever tried to sell it for you?"
33612Has somebody been breaking into Dry Lodge?"
33612Has your father come here to paint?"
33612Have you much money?
33612Heavens, Angus, what''s wrong that you forget your meals?"
33612Hey?"
33612Him all got brand?"
33612How about water?"
33612How badly was he hurt?
33612How could he do that when it was n''t his?"
33612How did you know your boundaries?"
33612How did you recognize me?
33612How does it feel to be a grass widow?"
33612How in the name of all bad luck had this happened?
33612How long did they feed the fire o''nights, and listen alone to the noises of the dark?
33612How old are you?"
33612How the devil could she expect a white man to marry her?
33612How''d that suit you, you dam''four- flush?"
33612How?"
33612How_ did_ you know I wanted to say something?
33612I could n''t give my brothers away, could I?
33612I mean to stay boss, and while you''re on this ranch you''ll toe the mark after this, understand?"
33612I rode your pony years ago, when I was a little, lost girl--""What are you now?"
33612I say-- you''ll pardon me, I''m sure-- but in the expressive idiom of the country, will it throw a crimp into you to do it?"
33612I suppose he''s dead?"
33612I told her I thought you were a big, fine- looking young man, and what do you think she said?"
33612I want--""An''do I care phwat yez want, ye black- avised bo?"
33612I wonder how it would be on a show- down, Dave?
33612I wonder if it ever did happen?"
33612I wonder if that was why your uncle was trying to buy you out?"
33612I wonder if you and I ever sat before a fire in a cave, together?"
33612I wonder if you know how becoming that slicker hat is?"
33612If it gets any more shocks like this-- But what am I to tell Jean?
33612If old Godfrey French was her uncle, why in blazes did n''t some of the French boys take care of this kid?
33612If they had been made years ago, why had n''t they been handed over?
33612Insist on my interest and rob these poor children of their chance of life?"
33612Inspiring thought and all that sort of thing, what?
33612Is it a boy or a girl?"
33612Is it fair, or shall I jew old Braden down a bit?
33612Is it yes or no, Faith?"
33612Is n''t that common sense?"
33612Is n''t that my property--_our_ property?"
33612Is that a banjo and do you play it?"
33612Is that clear enough for you?"
33612Is that clear to you?"
33612Is that it, my son?"
33612Is that plain enough for you?"
33612Is that right?"
33612Is that so?"
33612Is that what you will tell my husband?"
33612It is the key to Success, which, when Opportunity knocks at the door-- What the devil are you grinning at?"
33612It''s time--""It''s time you went,"Angus told him,"and you''re going, do you savvy?
33612Jean, darling, how long are you going to keep me in suspense?"
33612Kind lady, having been a girl yourself, will you please tell me what I am to do about it?"
33612Let it go, wo n''t you?"
33612Local big bug, is n''t he?
33612Mackay?
33612May th''divil-- But phwat''s the use?
33612Mebbe I better put in leetle shot up dere an''fetch him now?
33612Might he not be responsible?
33612Mr. Braden exploded angrily,"do you know I hold a mortgage on your ranch?
33612Now about this ring--""Do you think you should buy one-- now?"
33612Now what do you think of it?"
33612Now what story will hold water?
33612Now you can go plumb, understand?"
33612Now, could I?
33612Now, instead of crazy bidding, ca n''t we come to an arrangement?"
33612Now, what is the most natural mistake, the most everyday, common mistake?"
33612Of what profit was it to traverse this sea of mountains and emerge with these hunters at their heels?
33612Old Murdoch McGillivray--""Who was he?"
33612One good turn deserves another, hey?"
33612Or had he merely a suspicion, which Riley was trying to confirm by a fishing trip for a damaging admission?
33612Or has he had it?"
33612Or your clerk?"
33612Phwat belief are ye, ye big Swede?"
33612Savvy?"
33612See what I''m gettin''at?
33612Sewell Winton?
33612Shall I offer him ten dollars?"
33612She does n''t want to sell, and in that I am under the impression that she is acting on your advice?
33612She said--""Miss Winton?"
33612So I''ll be an extra hand you''ve hired, see?
33612Talk up, ca n''t you?"
33612Tea, coffee or cocoa?"
33612That little ex- jockey knows his business?"
33612That''s ample, what?"
33612That''s subsisting, is n''t it?"
33612The second was n''t prepared subsequently and dated back?"
33612Then a straw man would have made an offer for the place, d''ye understand me?
33612Then it''s got to be an Injun, ai n''t it?
33612Then let us ask what to- day is the great essential of success?
33612Then what the dickens was the junk he had in his pocket?
33612Then why do n''t ye let love take its coorse?"
33612Then why is he workin''as a hired man onless f''r love of ye, tell me that?"
33612Then you think nothing can be done to help Miss Winton?"
33612Then, as I understand it, you had a new conveyance prepared, and delivered it to French, and that''s all you know about it?"
33612Think these French boys would know enough to make a trip like that?"
33612To prove it I will say what I never thought to say, meaning it: Will you come back to the ranch?
33612Understand?"
33612Was anything else missing?
33612Was everybody abroad that night?
33612Was his continued absence in some way due to them?
33612Was it Braden?"
33612Was it possible that he was dickering with Mackay?
33612Was there no way of escape?
33612Wasters, rotters, what?"
33612We do not want friction, do we, my boy?"
33612Well, what about it?"
33612Well-- what happens now?"
33612Well?"
33612What about it?"
33612What am I doing about that time?"
33612What are you doing?"
33612What business had this girl to call him black?
33612What business have you hanging around here?
33612What department are you in?"
33612What do you charge, judge?"
33612What do you know about him?"
33612What do you know about levels?
33612What do you mean?"
33612What do you mean?"
33612What do you say?"
33612What do you see?"
33612What do you take me for?"
33612What do you think is the best thing for you and your sister and brother?"
33612What do you think of that, Angus?"
33612What do you want?"
33612What do you want?"
33612What does he want me for?"
33612What does it matter when you die, if you die well?
33612What good does it do us to keep going?
33612What gun you takin''?"
33612What happened to those ancient women whose men went out never to return?
33612What is the matter with my land?"
33612What is your own name?"
33612What kind of a mine?"
33612What on earth was keeping Angus?
33612What say, Dave?"
33612What started him?"
33612What the devil does he think this country is?
33612What time has this race been run in, other years?"
33612What was Braden doing with them?
33612What was Garland up to, anyway?
33612What was Garland waiting for?
33612What was the use?
33612What were they doing?
33612What would be plausible?"
33612What would happen next?
33612What would he do?
33612What would you think?"
33612What you do?"
33612What you gettin''at?"
33612What''ll we do with them, Gan?"
33612What''s holding me?
33612What''s on me?"
33612What''s the amount against the property?"
33612What''s the matter with your hair?
33612What''s the use?
33612What''s worryin''you, old boy?"
33612What-- what do you mean?"
33612When did it happen?"
33612When the old boy died--""What old boy?"
33612When will the Mackay ranch be sold?"
33612Where had he heard that faint lisp, that slurring of the sibilants?
33612Where him Angus?"
33612Where is he, do you know?"
33612Where is she now?"
33612Where would I get you a jockey?"
33612Where would you get off at then?"
33612Where''s Angus?"
33612Where?"
33612Which one of them am I to marry, please?"
33612Who asked you to horn in?"
33612Who bought the ranch?
33612Who has them?"
33612Who shot you?"
33612Who the deuce was this McGinity?
33612Who would care a curse if_ you_ died?"
33612Who would have an interest in taking it, as well as deeds affecting the coal lands?
33612Who''ll do your work when you''re dead?"
33612Who''s this young fellow?
33612Why did Godfrey French want to buy that dry ranch?
33612Why did n''t it strike you then?"
33612Why did n''t you come to see me once in awhile?"
33612Why do n''t you buy him?
33612Why do n''t you make it up with him, Angus?"
33612Why do you do it now?"
33612Why do you pronounce your name''McKi''?"
33612Why favor me?"
33612Why had Braden swiped them from French?
33612Why had he been such a fool to carry nearly twenty- four hundred dollars in his pocket?
33612Why had he given a reason which was not a reason?
33612Why had he lied about Blake?
33612Why had n''t Braden or French given her these deeds?
33612Why is it?"
33612Why not?"
33612Why not?"
33612Why not?"
33612Why should Braden who had two perfectly good machines in his office below, go out the back way and bring in a machine from an old shed?
33612Why should there be two sets of deeds?"
33612Why?"
33612Why?"
33612Will you answer my question?"
33612With me when?"
33612Would Turkey deliberately lend himself to a plan to deprive not only Angus but Jean and himself of the ranch?
33612Would you marry for any other reason?"
33612Would you mind very much if I kissed you?"
33612You are aware that she claims ownership of the land on which coal has been found?"
33612You are sure of what you say-- that the land could have been bought for so much less then, and that I ca n''t get water on it now?"
33612You did it, did you?"
33612You do n''t believe it?"
33612You do n''t know much about girls, do you?"
33612You mean they were waiting for me?"
33612You say that the two sets of papers were drawn on the same day?
33612You see um Blake French?"
33612You think because you stole that old note and statement of yours when you took the deeds that I''ve no strings on you?
33612You think it''s the old buck?"
33612You try to take a single head of my stock off the range, and you''ll do it in the smoke, do you savvy that?"
33612You were always kind, helpful, but never like-- like--""Never like a lover?"
33612You wo n''t enter into any arrangement?"
33612You would fight to the death for me, would n''t you?"
33612You''re awake for sure, are you?
33612You''re not that sort, surely?"
33612You''re sure he ai n''t stolen?
33612You''re sure you''re quite all right, old man?"
33612You?"
33612Your wife has her deeds, has n''t she?
33612Yours should be Donald, or Duncan, or Murdoch?"
33612Yours?
33612do you think I''m a child?"
42532A sabre? 42532 A scoundrel?"
42532About me?
42532About what?
42532About what?
42532Afraid of what?
42532Ah, that is the case, is it? 42532 Already?"
42532Always?
42532And do you not recognise me, Señor Don Louis?
42532And have you not done the same? 42532 And how did you learn all this?"
42532And now,he added,"you have finished, I presume?"
42532And now?
42532And that partner----?
42532And the other?
42532And what do they hunt?
42532And where, then, is Señor Don Louis?
42532And why should he not, señorita?
42532And you are taking them--?
42532And you conclude from that?
42532And you found it?
42532And you know what I wish to say to you?
42532And you, little wench, can not you make a guess?
42532And,Valentine continued,"what you have to communicate to Don Louis is probably very important?"
42532Angela,he said,"what is the name of the hunter who owns the herd?"
42532Anxious about what?
42532Are we not referring to that very period now?
42532Are you jesting, brother?
42532Are you speaking seriously, general?
42532Are your accounts in order?
42532Are your enlistments completed?
42532Are your men French?
42532At this moment?
42532But how will you manage it? 42532 But if you could find a purchaser here?"
42532But now?
42532But suppose I do act in that way?
42532But the chief,Louis observed:"does he not wish to rest?"
42532But they are still at the port, I think?
42532But they have other names beside those?
42532But what makes you suppose that? 42532 But who shall be dealer?"
42532But why do they come here?
42532But why this obstinacy on Don Louis''part to keep his secret? 42532 But will you not sleep a few moments, Don Louis?
42532But yesterday----?
42532But, for what reason?
42532But----"You did not guess,he went on sharply,"why I demanded that your companions should be well armed, and organised as soldiers?"
42532By Heavens, general, you will allow that you are jesting with me?
42532By the way,Don Sebastian said,"have you recovered any of the cattle those demons of Apaches took from us in their last attack?"
42532Can I be of any service to you?
42532Can we not try to purchase these?
42532Come, frankly,he said at last;"did you not understand why I acted toward you in that way?"
42532Come, open, Señor Saccaplata: you would not have the barbarity to leave us out here?
42532Come, what is the business?
42532Come, you little fool,he exclaimed,"will you make up your mind to speak, yes or no?
42532Come,he said,"you are taking her part, are you?"
42532Did I not keep my promise? 42532 Did I not warn you?"
42532Did I say the contrary?
42532Did it last long?
42532Did you not notice the charming girl that accompanies him?
42532Did you not say the Governor of Sonora?
42532Did you not say they came?
42532Do I not owe you my life?
42532Do n''t you know that is eight miles off?
42532Do n''t you understand me?
42532Do you know that, before Heaven, I am responsible for the lives of all these brave fellows intrusted to me?
42532Do you not know, then, that we women love the unhappy before all? 42532 Do you not recognise Don Cornelio, our old travelling companion, who constantly sang to his jarana the romance of El Rey Rodrigo?"
42532Do you not think, Don Louis, that, supposing the colonel spoke the truth, two men like ourselves would prove very useful to him?
42532Do you play, Don Louis?
42532Do you recognise me, Don Cornelio?
42532Do you scold me for loving you, my father?
42532Do you think so?
42532Do you think so?
42532Do you think so?
42532Do you think so?
42532Does Señor Saccaplata wish to enter into business relations with us? 42532 Does not my brother remember?"
42532Does not the_ Yori_ know?
42532Don Louis?
42532During that expedition, full of strange and terrible incidents, two men accompanied you? 42532 Eh?
42532Eh?
42532Eh?
42532Eh?
42532Eh?
42532Fatigued of what?
42532For me?
42532For the mines?
42532For what good?
42532Good; and they want to sell their_ ganado_?
42532Have I?
42532Have you any in view?
42532Have you any proof?
42532Have you been suddenly turned into stone?
42532Have you influential men among your shareholders?
42532Have you not guessed it, Valentine?
42532Have you supped?
42532He has answered you?
42532He has no secrets from you?
42532He is a Frenchman?
42532Here, in this locanda?
42532His absence will doubtlessly be of short duration?
42532How do I know?
42532How do you know it, then?
42532How is he here, then?
42532How is it,he said to himself thoughtfully,"that Valentine has not yet arrived?
42532How many head have you?
42532How much do you think this affair will bring you in?
42532How much shall we set?
42532How so?
42532How so?
42532How so?
42532How so?
42532How so?
42532How was that-- without speaking to anybody? 42532 I am right, I think; this time you caught the meaning of my words?"
42532I can rely on your diligence?
42532I do not at all understand you?
42532I do not disturb you, then?
42532I suppose he asks a high price?
42532I think you are right; but will they consent?
42532I will do so; but when and where shall I see you again?
42532I? 42532 If I condemn you to death what will you say?"
42532If I let you go what will you think?
42532If that be so, general, I can offer you the occasion, if you will allow me?
42532In that case,Don Sebastian went on, turning to the hunter with an amiable smile,"this caballero is Don Louis?"
42532In this hostelry?
42532Indeed, why should I make a mystery of it? 42532 Is General Guerrero in Pitic?"
42532Is it a mystification? 42532 Is it not?"
42532Is it not?
42532Is it not?
42532Is it not?
42532Is it possible that I shall obtain in this way the information I have been racking my brains to find?
42532Is it prudent for you to travel alone at this hour?
42532Is my brother satisfied?
42532Is not that enough?
42532Is not this so?
42532Is that all?
42532Is that all?
42532Is that all?
42532Is that true, little one?
42532Is the motive for a woman''s actions ever known?
42532Is there anyone on the road?
42532Is this the moment or the place? 42532 It appears to me----""You did not understand why I had you invested with a military power as extensive as if you were chief of an army?
42532It does not teach me much; but how did you learn all this? 42532 It is; but what would you do?
42532Let us see if I shall change the vein?
42532Look me well in the face, caballero, and answer me frankly: do you recognise me-- yes or no?
42532Muchacho,he said to him abruptly,"does the life you lead in the desert possess a great charm for you?"
42532No matter: am I not here?
42532No reals?
42532Not exactly; but you will explain it to me?
42532Not to be too curious,the landlord continued, not yet discouraged,"may I ask in what direction your honourable seigneuries intend to proceed?"
42532Not yet; and you?
42532Now that the discovery of the Californian placers has overthrown all classes of society, who knows with whom we may have to deal?
42532Now,the general continued,"I believe we can return to the ballroom?"
42532Of what?
42532On what house?
42532Possibly,the count said carelessly;"but when did you begin to fear the Indians so greatly, brother?"
42532Punish me?
42532Shall I never know how to speak or how to deal with you?
42532Shall I start from the commencement?
42532Since the moment I first collected you around me, have I not done all in my power to improve your position? 42532 So I may always count on you?"
42532So many as that?
42532So that--?
42532So then?
42532So you are satisfied, sir?
42532So you see----"Well, what do you conclude from that?
42532So, then, at sunset of the twenty- fifth day?
42532Speak: what must I do?
42532Still, it appears to me----"Come, what do you find so extraordinary in my conduct?
42532Stout as you please-- do you know we have not been to bed or to sleep for seven nights?
42532Suppose we say 2000 piastres?
42532Tell me, sir, do you know our representative at Guaymas?
42532That is hard; and how have you repaired the loss?
42532That is possible; but the question is not about that, I presume?
42532That is right; and you possessed?
42532That is to say----"Are you fatigued?
42532That is true; but now you fully understand it?
42532That is true; but where to find such a sum?
42532That is true; but why insist on selling your bulls nowhere save at San Francisco?
42532That would be awkward; so that, as far as I can see you will want about eighty or one hundred thousand piastres to be perfectly clear?
42532That''s where the shoe galls you, then?
42532The mesón of San Juan is a good hostelry,the other said, respectfully lifting his hand to his hat;"but what shall I do there?
42532Their names?
42532Then I shall not return to Guadalajara with you?
42532Then supposing you are summoned?
42532Then they want to go to San Francisco?
42532Then you are satisfied with me?
42532Then you can give me no information about him? 42532 Then you did not guess why I, general, military governor of Sonora, supported so warmly your petition to the President?"
42532Then you refuse?
42532Then you will not leave me again, brother?
42532Then your organisation is terminated?
42532Then, supposing you found a good price here, you would dispose of them?
42532Then,he proceeded,"if I restored you your liberty you would feel no gratitude?"
42532This night?
42532Though I can not start for ten days, you can be in the saddle by daybreak, I suppose?
42532To what end? 42532 Two men came to your assistance?"
42532Unless your friend-- Don Louis, I think you called him----?
42532Very good; we will say, then, that they hunt wild bulls?
42532We had a rather disagreeable adventure, if I remember right, with certain bandits?
42532We say seven hundred and seventy head, I think?
42532Well, and where is the note?
42532Well, muchacho,the captain said, suddenly plunging_ in medias res_,"you did not expect a visit from me, I fancy?"
42532Well, supposing I was?
42532Well, then?
42532Well, what then?
42532Well, what then?
42532Well,Louis said presently,"any news?"
42532Well,he said to him;"what have you to tell me?"
42532Well,he said, checking him,"are you not convinced yet?"
42532Well?
42532Well?
42532Well?
42532Well?
42532Well?
42532Well?
42532Were I afraid of a snare, should I have come?
42532Were I to tell you that I loved you, would you believe it, Don Louis?
42532What Ingleses?
42532What are their names, then?
42532What are you doing?
42532What are you thinking about?
42532What can you have to ask this caballero?
42532What did I say not a moment ago?
42532What did Mixcoatzin want in my camp?
42532What did you say, señor?
42532What difference does that make?
42532What do I care for that? 42532 What do I care what country the scamps belong to?
42532What do my enemies want?
42532What do you find so disagreeable in our profession, John? 42532 What do you mean by influential?"
42532What do you mean? 42532 What do you mean?"
42532What do you mean?
42532What do you mean?
42532What do you say?
42532What do you want now?
42532What do you want of me?
42532What do you want?
42532What do you want?
42532What does that concern us?
42532What friends?
42532What good to go farther?
42532What great interest have you, then, in spoiling this affair?
42532What have I to fear?
42532What have you to reproach me with, comrades?
42532What is it, señorita?
42532What is it?
42532What is it?
42532What is that?
42532What is the good? 42532 What is the matter, niña?"
42532What is the matter, then?
42532What is the matter?
42532What is the meaning of that cry?
42532What is the meaning of this folly, Angela?
42532What is the meaning of this?
42532What is the use of telling you why I love you? 42532 What is there improper in it, papa?
42532What is this?
42532What makes you suppose, caballero, that our journey is ended?
42532What more noble task could you undertake?
42532What need have you to go there?
42532What next?
42532What next?
42532What salteador would be such a fool as to stop me?
42532What the deuce could it be?
42532What the deuce is it? 42532 What then?"
42532What then?
42532What to do?
42532What to do?
42532What use would it be now? 42532 What was it, then?
42532What was it?
42532What were you doing in Sonora, then?
42532What would you have? 42532 What would you?
42532What''s that?
42532What''s the matter now?
42532What, not even approximatively?
42532What? 42532 What?
42532What?
42532What?
42532When do you propose leaving, señores?
42532Whence comes the interest you deign to show me?
42532Where do you intend going?
42532Where on earth have you dug up this strange purchaser since last night?
42532Where shall I wait for you?
42532Where the deuce did you catch that scoundrel?
42532Where the deuce is my head gone? 42532 Which friend?"
42532Which of you two gentlemen,the general continued gracefully,"is Señor Don Cornelio?"
42532Which one, señorita?.
42532Which?
42532Who are the Ingleses?
42532Who are you, and what would you with me?
42532Who are you?
42532Who are your partners?
42532Who else, then, if not I?
42532Who is not so?
42532Who is the man, chief? 42532 Who knows what awaits him at the other end?"
42532Who knows? 42532 Who knows?
42532Who knows?
42532Who knows?
42532Who on earth told you that fine story?
42532Who''s there?
42532Who? 42532 Who?"
42532Whom with, then?
42532Why at length?
42532Why did you not do so? 42532 Why do you ask me, papa?"
42532Why do you sigh?
42532Why not? 42532 Why not?
42532Why not?
42532Why seek to hide longer a thing you now know?
42532Why should I be grateful? 42532 Why should we be so, my dear count?
42532Why so? 42532 Why so?
42532Why so? 42532 Why so?"
42532Why so?
42532Why so?
42532Why so?
42532Why so?
42532Why so?
42532Why so?
42532Why struggle longer?
42532Why those animals more than others?
42532Why, Louis, do you know that you are not difficult to find in this deuce of a city? 42532 Why, of riding about in the fashion you have done, for some time past?"
42532Why, then, do you demand----?
42532Why, then, too late?
42532Why?
42532Will you allow me to say two words to you?
42532Will you never be serious?
42532Will you take your Spaniard with you?
42532Would it not be frightful--?
42532Would it not?
42532Would you assert by that----?
42532Would you, miss, have the goodness to explain to me how you obtained all this information? 42532 Yes, is it not so?
42532Yes, what next?
42532Yes,El Buitre said thoughtfully,"I have always dreamed--""Of carrying on our trade on a grand scale, eh?
42532Yes,the captain said, emptying his glass,"do you amuse yourself greatly here?
42532Yes,the landlord muttered to himself,"but who will avenge me on you?
42532Yes; and now what do you think of it?
42532Yes; but am I mistaken?
42532Yes; but at what price?
42532Yes; but how did you learn the fact?
42532Yes; but what has that in common, I ask--?
42532You allow, then, that you deserve death?
42532You are aware that you have made a number of enemies here?
42532You are organising your expedition in a military manner?
42532You are sure of it?
42532You believe so, general?
42532You can trust in them?
42532You have known him a long time?
42532You have partners?
42532You hear, captain, the herd is ours?
42532You insist on it?
42532You left it after spending some days there on your return from a journey you had undertaken to the far west, in search of a rich auriferous placer?
42532You must know that at San Francisco--"San Francisco again?
42532You remember in what way we parted at the_ venta_ of San José?
42532You remember, I suppose, a cold winter night, in the bedroom of my house at Paris?
42532You think so?
42532You were in California at that time?
42532You were seeking me over here?
42532You will tell us, will you not, general?
42532You wish me to tell it you?
42532You wished to steal my cattle, I suppose?
42532You, general?
42532Your excellencies are doubtless anxious to set out again?
42532_ Capa de Dios!_ Do I think so? 42532 _ El señor conde?_"he asked.
42532''Are you not Don Cornelio Mendoza?''
42532A noble profession, is it not, for a Count de Prébois, whose ancestors made three crusades?"
42532About three months ago were you not at the Hacienda del Milagro?"
42532About three or four years back, I do not know exactly which, did you not after leaving Guadalajara----?"
42532And are you certain, general, that I shall not be able to see one?
42532And how is the market down there?"
42532And if you lose one of the three?"
42532And now that your affairs are settled, or nearly so, when do you intend to make a move?"
42532And then, personally, what did he care for the issue of the affair?
42532And what is that obstacle, Don Valentine, if you please?"
42532And what will prevent it, if you please?"
42532And why, may I ask?"
42532And you are sure, Don Cornelio, that there is a tertulia this evening at the governor''s palace?"
42532And you can not tell it to me?"
42532And you had the effrontery to venture among us, only to tell us a thing we knew as well as yourself?"
42532Are they as ugly as the Indios Bravos?"
42532Are you fond of gold?"
42532Are you not the owner of the herd?"
42532Are you willing to follow me?"
42532As for me,"he said simply;"that is not astonishing; for am I not one of your shareholders?"
42532Assuredly the profit is large, and the risk nothing, I grant; but--""Well, why do you stop?
42532But are we going to leave the chief kicking his heels at the door?"
42532But it must have resembled something, I suppose?"
42532But one word first-- have you beds for us?"
42532But suppose we talk of something else, if you are agreeable?"
42532But supposing one of them were to come to Hermosillo?"
42532But tell me-- you are quite resolved to disembark at Guaymas?"
42532But tell me----""What?"
42532But what was her object in all this?
42532But what was that object?
42532But why need we divulge his nationality?
42532By what right do you complain of the fatality that pursues you?
42532By what right would you die?"
42532Can I be mistaken, señor?"
42532Can I ever be consoled for his loss?"
42532Come, Violanta, my child, can you tell me this man''s name?"
42532Did I do wrong?"
42532Did I not find for you that woman you despaired of ever seeing again?
42532Did he fancy that gratitude was too heavy a burden for me to bear?"
42532Did not the President of the Republic himself seem to adopt your views?"
42532Did she love Don Louis?
42532Did we not swear once for all, to be entirely devoted to each other?"
42532Did you not enjoy with her ten years of perfect happiness?
42532Did you not marry her?
42532Did you not yourself come to Mexico to find me?"
42532Did your father endure so many sacrifices in order to create such an existence-- tell me, muchacho?"
42532Do you believe me, then, a perfect ferocious brute, incapable of generous instincts?"
42532Do you come from Guadalajara, or are you going there?"
42532Do you know the conditions of my treaty with the Mexican government?"
42532Do you know them?"
42532Do you know this governor?"
42532Do you love it much?"
42532Do you now understand?"
42532Do you take us for fools like yourself, you wretch?
42532Do you wish to dispose of your cattle advantageously?"
42532Does he fancy that the_ salteadores_ will allow him to pass?
42532Does it please you?"
42532Does that suit you?"
42532Don Louis said,"have those demons ventured so near us, then?"
42532Don Louis, will you permit me to accompany you to your cuarto?"
42532Don Sebastian continued,"Will you play against me, Don Louis?"
42532Even supposing I were to help you----?"
42532For the whole herd?"
42532For what object?
42532Gone off at a venture?"
42532Had gratitude unconsciously changed in her into love with growing years?
42532Had the maiden retained in her heart the remembrance of what had happened to the child?
42532Has the mayordomo arrived?"
42532Have I any plot to fear inside the house?"
42532Have I forgotten the slightest detail?
42532Have I not constantly treated you as my children?
42532Have I not fulfilled my engagements?
42532Have we not both suffered equally?
42532Have we reached that point?
42532Have you been taking a turn in the pueblo?"
42532Have you come to breakfast?"
42532Have you for a single day endured that atrocious suffering, you who speak so deliberately about dying?"
42532Have you not a few small debts beside?"
42532Have you spoken to them?"
42532How can it concern this man whether he deals with Don Louis or anyone else, so long as the ganado is young, vigorous, and cheap?"
42532How could he understand the exquisite delicacy that dictated them?
42532How do you feel, Don Cornelio?"
42532How so?"
42532If I have not fulfilled my promise in two years, I will hand you the pistols myself, and then--''''Then?''
42532If he is afraid of the anger of Heaven, why did he insult it?
42532Indeed, how could the count suspect treachery?
42532Is he a friend?"
42532Is he here?"
42532Is it a snare offered me, in which they wish me to fall?
42532Is it befitting for--?"
42532Is it not so?
42532Is not our position the same?
42532Is not that it?"
42532Is not that martyrdom the noblest, the most sublime of all?
42532Is that all?"
42532Is that all?"
42532Is that understood?"
42532Is the gentleman unhappy?"
42532It seems as if affairs are going on well, eh?"
42532Let me see, your father''s name is Don Sebastian Guerrero, and yours--""Well, and mine?"
42532Louis exclaimed;"it is true then, it is rich?"
42532Louis placed the candlesticks he held in his hand on the table, and turning to his friend,--"Where are you going?"
42532Louis shouted, rising hurriedly,"you did that, brother?"
42532No more?"
42532No, no; what do I care for self?
42532Now, do you know why I arranged this meeting?"
42532Now, have you faith in me?
42532Oh, oh, what is it?
42532Or had his couriers been interrupted on the road?
42532Perhaps it is really a warning a good friend wishes to give me?
42532Shall I see you this evening?"
42532Shall we return to the hacienda, and send someone to bring the brute in?"
42532Speak: if I have injured one of you, or committed a single act of injustice, tell it me?
42532Still, when Don Antonio ceased, he threw away his cigarette, and giving the last speaker a glance of most peculiar significance,--"Have you done?"
42532Tell me, Louis, now that you know all-- for we are frank with each other-- what are your sufferings compared with mine?
42532That is all?"
42532That makes--?"
42532That worthy Jonathan is yelping, I suppose?"
42532The general did not notice it, but continued,"Are you sure they were not vaqueros belonging to some hacienda?"
42532The hunter''s name was Belhumeur, the chief''s Eagle- head, I think?"
42532The landlord did not make you his confidant, I suppose?"
42532The man helped you, nursed you, and then you parted?"
42532Then you can render me a service?"
42532Then you owe a deal of money?"
42532Then you owe for everything?"
42532Then, do you remember that when all was concluded, I became the first shareholder who gave his signature, and supplied funds?"
42532Then--""Then he told you all?"
42532Three years back, during your journey from Guadalajara to Tepic, were you not attacked by salteadores at the spot called the Mal Paso?"
42532To what fortunate accident do I owe your presence in my house?"
42532Under what circumstances can that name have been pronounced in my presence?"
42532Valentine, my brother!--you whom I never hoped to see again-- answer, in Heaven''s name, is it you?"
42532Was your sleep disturbed?"
42532Were you going out?"
42532Were you not rescued by a hunter, a wood ranger?
42532What can Colonel Guerrero be thinking of, to set out on a Friday, and at such an hour as this?
42532What do I care for such a wretch''s hatred?
42532What do they desire to know?"
42532What do we risk in the event of non- success?
42532What do you ask for the beasts?"
42532What do you mean by talking to me of fulfilling an agreement?
42532What do you say-- is that the truth?"
42532What do you say?"
42532What do you think of it?"
42532What do you think of that?"
42532What do you want of me?"
42532What do you want to understand for?
42532What do you want with me?
42532What for?"
42532What had happened since his leaving Guaymas?
42532What have you to tell me?"
42532What hour is it-- nine?
42532What is his name?"
42532What is the meaning of this interrogatory to which you subject the caballero, and to which he has the goodness to yield so complacently?
42532What is the name of the owner of this ganado?"
42532What is the reason?"
42532What is your friend''s name, sir?"
42532What need have I of your false protestations, to which I can not respond?
42532What need that you should know me?
42532What new obstacles had been interposed to the movement of his company?
42532What next?"
42532What next?"
42532What other anxiety can I have at present, save to see you happy?"
42532What other name could you bear?"
42532What then?"
42532What was it?"
42532What was to be done?
42532What will be the strength of your company?"
42532What would you have done in my place, Don Louis?"
42532What''s the matter with you, that you are so bandaged up?
42532What''s the odds about being a foundling?
42532When the commandant was only two paces from the man, he stopped, and looking him firmly in the face said,---"Were you laughing at me just now?"
42532Whence does this result?
42532Whence resulted this incomprehensible delay of four days?
42532Where can you meet again?"
42532Where did you find it, Curumilla?"
42532Who are you, pray, who know me so well?
42532Who knows what has become of that man?"
42532Who knows what might be the result of such an interview?
42532Who knows whether we may not need him hereafter?
42532Who knows?
42532Whom was she speaking of?
42532Whose happiness lasted ten years-- ten ages in this earth?
42532Why are you not asleep at this hour, instead of coming to rouse me?"
42532Why did she wish to see his friend?
42532Why do you come buzzing in this way in my ears, when you ought, on the contrary, to be preparing for your departure?"
42532Why had not Valentine or Curumilla, those two resolute and devoted men, for whom the greatest obstacles had no existence, come to warn him?
42532Why had not the officer left in charge informed him of what had occurred?
42532Why let such foolish forebodings have any effect over me?
42532Why this alarm?"
42532Why trouble myself about such absurdities?
42532Will he be equally lucky?"
42532Will not that trumpery colonel make up his mind to start soon, if he is so ready to give the bastinado to poor folk?
42532Will you now accuse me of wishing to cheat you for my own profit?
42532You are aware that a society has been formed at Mexico, called the Atravida?"
42532You are going to bed again?"
42532You are not fond of music?
42532You are the owner of the herd of cattle?"
42532You do not comprehend me?"
42532You do not think you will lose?"
42532You have no more?"
42532You have provisions, I hope?"
42532You know the feeling of instinctive repulsion one experiences on touching a reptile?"
42532You know them?"
42532You loved your father?"
42532You say that you depart tomorrow?"
42532You think so?"
42532You understand me?"
42532You understand?"
42532You will start at sunrise?"
42532You, Don Louis?
42532a young woman said, with a charming smile,"will the English come here?"
42532he replied, trying to gain time,"where could I have had the happiness of ever seeing you?
42532her father said in alarm;"it is not dangerous?"
42532she exclaimed quickly, while a rosy tinge suddenly invaded her forehead,"melancholy, do you say?
42532she said with pleasure;"then you are really his friend?"
42532she said, with some agitation,"you continued to live together?"
42532the colonel continued,"now that peace, as I suppose, is made between you, what do you think of our way of travelling?
42532the colonel exclaimed, brusquely interrupting,"what musical rage possesses you?
42532the colonel shouted,"you will not let us bivouac in front of your door?
42532the count said thoughtfully;"then our consular agent in that port is not a Frenchman?"
42532the count said,"what do I care now?
42532the count said,"what is the meaning of this?
42532the other said gaily, as he threw off his cloak,"I suppose you thought I was dead?"
42115After all, what is our game? 42115 Already?"
42115Am I not the TRAIL- HUNTER?
42115And Doña Clara, do you fancy we are going to leave her behind?
42115And Red Cedar?
42115And did you, as I advised, try to gain any information about Red Cedar?
42115And do you know the men who committed this atrocious crime?
42115And this man has carried off the white gazelle?'' 42115 And what are the Indians doing at this moment?"
42115And what did you do?
42115And what does my brother want?
42115And what is the result of your reflections?
42115And where is Fray Ambrosio?
42115And you accept it?
42115And you conclude from that?
42115Answer, scoundrel?
42115Anything wrong, Sutter?
42115Are matters so serious?
42115Are they disposed to listen to me?
42115Are they still fighting?
42115Are you a relation or friend of his?''
42115Are you afraid that something has happened to him? 42115 Are you coming or going?"
42115Are you going to begin again?
42115Are you satisfied with your journey?
42115Are your father and mother still unkind to you, Ellen?
42115Are your weapons loaded?
42115Be it so,the stranger replied;"then, you will not give way to me?"
42115But how to save her?
42115But if Red Cedar were to find out,the monk remarked,"that we surrendered his prisoner?"
42115But the old one?
42115But what importance can this letter, I do not even remember writing, possess, that you should attach such weight to it?
42115But what will the Comanches do till, then?
42115But who is to undertake this delicate mission?
42115But will they find us here?
42115But, after all, you are wounded?
42115Ca n''t you remain a moment at rest?
42115Caballeros,he said to them,"what do you intend doing?
42115Can I have killed him?
42115Can I help you?
42115Can it be possible?
42115Can it be possible?
42115Can it be possible?
42115Can it not?
42115Can you at all account for this delay?
42115Can you not guess it?
42115Chief,he exclaimed, in a trembling voice"is it possible you have done that?"
42115Come, come,he said gaily, as he shook the hammock,"sleeper, will you not have finished your siesta soon?"
42115Come,he said,"how did all this finish?"
42115Could we leave her to perish?
42115Could we not--"What?
42115Did I not tell you I would kill you?
42115Did you ever doubt it, Don Miguel? 42115 Did you learn nothing further?"
42115Did you not recognise me, or are you having a game with me?
42115Did you not understand it?
42115Do not speak about what I have done? 42115 Do you ask hospitality of me, then?"
42115Do you believe it?
42115Do you fancy that I did not read you?
42115Do you fancy you will prove, more successful than I?
42115Do you imagine that I care more than you do for the gossips? 42115 Do you know him?"
42115Do you know the reason of his going?
42115Do you know who he is?
42115Do you live in this house?
42115Do you mean to insult me?
42115Do you not consider it extraordinary that, during the whole month we have been here, our friends have not given a sign of life?
42115Do you not recognise me, Don Miguel? 42115 Do you really believe that I owe a knowledge of your secrets to chance?"
42115Do you reckon on staying long among us?
42115Do you recognise me, Red Cedar, since your conscience has not yet whispered my name to you?
42115Do you take me for such a fool?
42115Do you think I did not recognise him?
42115Do you think so?
42115Do you think that business can be settled all in a moment?
42115Does my brother know the_ Gringo_ has asked the Apaches for a guide?
42115Does my brother leave us?
42115Does my father demand it?
42115Does not my brother understand me, or am I really mistaken? 42115 Does not the time seem to you to go very slowly?"
42115Don Miguel has a daughter?
42115Doña Clara here?
42115Eh!?
42115Eh,_ penni_,Valentine said, addressing his comrade, and rising on his elbow,"the dinner seems to be ready; so suppose we feed?
42115Eh?
42115Eh?
42115Eh?
42115Eh?
42115Eh?
42115Entirely?
42115Father,Valentine then said,"is the game plentiful in the desert just at present?"
42115For a few hours?
42115For long?
42115For the last time, will you be off?
42115For what good, my boy? 42115 For what good?"
42115For what purpose? 42115 For what purpose?''
42115Good; are they numerous?
42115Good; in that case you declare war against me?
42115Hang it, though, what can be your motive for wishing to have this girl in your power?
42115Have I not hostages?
42115Have I not sworn to follow you everywhere?
42115Have I to answer for my conduct to you?
42115Have my brothers rested?
42115Have you by any chance, my dear governor,General Ibañez said, gaily, though not believing a word of it,"come to restore us to liberty?
42115Have you ever repented, up to today, the confidence you placed in me?
42115Have you not recognised me yet, Fray Ambrosio? 42115 Have you seen her?"
42115Have you those papers about you?
42115He has not left the rancho?
42115He is saved?
42115How can you recognise the distinction?
42115How can you suppose such things, Red Cedar?
42115How do you know it?
42115How do you know?
42115How do you know?
42115How do you know?
42115How does that concern you? 42115 How does that concern you?"
42115How is it the hunters have with them Unicorn''s wife?
42115How long will the chief remain on the hunting grounds with his young men?
42115How many warriors have remained with the chief?
42115How so? 42115 How so?
42115How so?
42115How so?
42115How so?
42115How so?
42115How was my sister thus fastened to the trunk of tree, and thrown into the current of the Gila, to perish there with her child? 42115 How?
42115How?
42115I can count, then, on my brother''s aid?
42115I hope, Red Cedar,Fray Ambrosio asked,"that you have not spoken about the placer to your men?"
42115In that case,Harry observed,"how did you learn all these details, señor padre?"
42115In the first place, where are you wounded?
42115In what way?
42115In what way?
42115Is Unicorn, then, a chattering old woman, that warriors place him on one side?
42115Is it not so? 42115 Is it not?
42115Is it not? 42115 Is it not?"
42115Is it not?
42115Is it possible, Harry?
42115Is it really honour that has dictated my father''s answer?
42115Is it thus,the Indian continued,"that the''maneater''receives the guide whom Stanapat, the Great Chief of the Apaches, sends him?
42115Is it true?
42115Is it true?
42115Is my brother a chief?
42115Is my brother asleep, that he does not hear a warrior addressing him?
42115Is my brother going?
42115Is my brother setting out to hunt buffaloes again?
42115Is my brother sure of it?
42115Is my sister the wife of a cacique?
42115Is she here?
42115Is this true?
42115It is true,she said sadly;"but why should you risk your life on the distant journey we are about to undertake?
42115Make haste, pray?
42115Must I open?
42115My brother claims my help to succeed in that project, I suppose?
42115My brother is welcome,he said, as he held out his hand, which the Indian warmly pressed,"What news does the chief bring us?"
42115My friend,she said to him in her soft voice,"what is taking place?
42115My son, you love me, I believe?
42115Not even if Red Cedar were at the head of the expedition, and consented to take the direction?
42115Now,Valentine asked presently,"what have you done?
42115Of whom are you speaking, my friend?
42115Of whom should I speak, save Doña Clara de Zarate, whom these villains retain here by force?
42115Oh dear, no, I assure you; but stay, what did I tell you? 42115 On leaving this prison, where are we to go?"
42115On what conditions will the Comanches restore their prisoners?
42115One moment,exclaimed the general, whose features had suddenly become gloomy;"who is the soldier?"
42115Our affairs are tolerably well embarrassed already; then why burden ourselves with a woman?
42115Shall I open?
42115Shall we soon arrive? 42115 Still?"
42115Suppose it be Red Cedar?
42115Suppose we restore her to her family?
42115Thanks, brother,the hacendero said, warmly, as he pressed the chiefs hand;"but how did you learn our deliverance?"
42115That is little, I allow,the general remarked;"and who are the two men whose lives you ask?"
42115That is possible; but do you think that, in such a case, you will escape with clean hands?
42115That is true; still--"What? 42115 That is your last word?"
42115The clothes?
42115The hunt will take place, then, in the neighbourhood?
42115Then I can only fly as speedily as I can?
42115Then it is true my father is thinking about leaving this country to go further still?
42115Then the affair is settled?
42115Then we can advance?
42115Then what do you want?
42115Then you have letters in my hand- writing?
42115Then?
42115Then?
42115To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing him?
42115Up to this evening I would have sworn it, Harry: yes, on my honor I would have sworn it--"And now?
42115Valentine attempted impossibilities to save her; but what can one man effect against twenty?
42115Very good; in that case they are near here?
42115Very well, then,the general went on, quite cheered by the good news,"what the deuce have you to tell me, captain?"
42115Wait,he said to them; and, addressing the general,"What do you want?"
42115Was it not enough,the girl continued,"to rob this man, that you must now try to take his life?
42115We can advance, then?
42115Well, are you satisfied?
42115Well, my friends,Valentine said with a grin,"how do you like that sort of fun?"
42115Well, then, what is the reason he is not by your side?
42115Well, was I mistaken?
42115Well, what did Red Cedar do then?
42115Well, what is it? 42115 Well, what matter?
42115Well, what then?
42115Well,Andrés Garote asked him,"what do you think, señor Padre, of all that has happened?"
42115Well,Don Miguel asked the chief,"is there anything new?"
42115Well,Shaw asked him,"have you come to an understanding with the old man?"
42115Well,Valentine asked Curumilla,"penni, what do you say about what is happening to us?"
42115Well,he asked, in a low voice,"have you reflected?"
42115Well,he asked,"where is Doña Clara?"
42115Well,her father continued,"what is there so terrific in that flower?
42115Well,one of the horsemen said, addressing his comrade,"was I not right?
42115Well,the officer retorted sharply,"what do we care for them?
42115Well,the stranger continued,"have you made up your mind, father?"
42115Well; what do you think of what has occurred?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115Well?
42115What about, if you please?
42115What are you about, brother?
42115What are you doing here?
42115What are you doing here?
42115What are you driving at?
42115What can I do?
42115What can have brought him to me? 42115 What chance brings you this way?"
42115What could we do?
42115What did he want to say, though?
42115What do I hear?
42115What do my sons want then?
42115What do you care little about, my pretty lad?
42115What do you mean by conditions?
42115What do you mean? 42115 What do you mean?"
42115What do you mean?
42115What do you purpose doing?
42115What do you say?
42115What do you think of all that?
42115What do you want with me?
42115What do you want?
42115What does he want of me?
42115What does he want with him?
42115What does my brother mean to do with them?
42115What does my brother mean? 42115 What does my brother say?"
42115What does my brother want?
42115What does that concern you?
42115What has become of Doña Clara?
42115What has become of you?
42115What has brought you?
42115What has happened to her?
42115What has happened?
42115What have you done, chief?
42115What have you to propose to us?
42115What is an hour in the presence of eternity?
42115What is it now?
42115What is it now?
42115What is it, señor padre?
42115What is it, sir?
42115What is it, then?
42115What is it?
42115What is it?
42115What is it?
42115What is it?
42115What is it?
42115What is my brother''s intention, should his demand be rejected?
42115What is my brother''s name?
42115What is my sister''s name?
42115What is the affair?
42115What is the business?
42115What is the matter with you?
42115What is the matter, Ellen? 42115 What is the matter, chief?
42115What is the matter, señor Captain Don Lopez?
42115What is the matter,_ mi querida_ Clara?
42115What is the meaning of this darkness? 42115 What is this wound of which I have heard?"
42115What is this?
42115What is to be done now?
42115What is to be done, then?
42115What is to be done?
42115What is to be done?
42115What is to be done?
42115What is to be done?
42115What is to be done?
42115What is your sister''s name?
42115What makes you suppose that?
42115What means that word, doubtless?
42115What means the chief? 42115 What next?"
42115What next?
42115What on earth can that be?
42115What ransom do you ask?
42115What reason can have been so powerful as to oblige my sons to come and see me?
42115What shall I do to compel her to follow me?
42115What shall I serve to your excellencies?
42115What shall we do?
42115What shall we do?
42115What would you have, my friend? 42115 What would your death profit me?"
42115What''s that?
42115What''s this?
42115What,Don Miguel exclaimed,"do you intend to come with me?"
42115When do we start for Apacheria?
42115When do you intend to start?
42115When shall we start?
42115Whence arises the interest you feel in this woman, sister, as you do not know her?
42115Where are we going now, Harry?
42115Where are we going?
42115Where are you going?
42115Where are you going?
42115Where are you leading me, my friend? 42115 Where goes my brother?"
42115Where is Don Pablo?
42115Where is Doña Clara?
42115Where is my brother going?
42115Where is the difference between us? 42115 Where is the monk?"
42115Where is the warrior who does not know Unicorn?
42115Where is there justice for the redskins?
42115Where the deuce are we going?
42115Where to?
42115Where was that?
42115Which is the girl''s room?
42115Who are the villains who thus wounded you, to whom the Master of Life has imparted the secret to make us happy? 42115 Who are these?
42115Who are you, and where are you going?
42115Who are you, my master?
42115Who are you?
42115Who dared?
42115Who goes there?
42115Who goes there?
42115Who knows them? 42115 Who knows, my friend?
42115Who saved Sunbeam from the river when she was about to perish?
42115Who the deuce are you, and why are you so anxious to speak with me? 42115 Who will prevent me going to the Governor of the State and denouncing you?"
42115Who will tell him?
42115Why be so angry, father?
42115Why do you wish to kill this stranger?
42115Why does he not speak, if he is here?
42115Why entertain such ideas, my friend?
42115Why force me to speak, my children?
42115Why has he not come to greet me? 42115 Why not remain with us, chief?"
42115Why not?
42115Why not?
42115Why not?
42115Why should I feign any longer? 42115 Why should I not, were it required?"
42115Why should he do that?
42115Why so?
42115Why so?
42115Why so?
42115Why so?
42115Why so?
42115Why so?
42115Why so?
42115Why so?
42115Why so?
42115Why talk thus in the open country, instead of going to your house, where we should be much more comfortable?
42115Why, in that case, do you have any dealings with him?
42115Why, señor padre,the ranchero said in an insinuating voice,"do you know that it is hardly five o''clock?"
42115Why, then, this sudden attack? 42115 Will you have my lantern?
42115Will you leave us alone, my friend?
42115Will you open,_ demonios_?
42115Will you permit me to try in my turn?
42115Yes, the youngest of your sons; he is called so, I think?
42115Yes,the missionary said;"but, how to prevent it?"
42115Yes; but she must be somewhere, I suppose?
42115You are coming, then?
42115You are going to leave us?
42115You are not asleep, Ellen?
42115You are really going?
42115You believe it?
42115You believe so?
42115You call that girl a guarantee?
42115You have done that, my friend?
42115You know her hiding place, then?
42115You know that I have a deadly hatred against Don Miguel Zarate?
42115You know that all my family are Protestants?
42115You mean to kill me, then?
42115You noticed nothing of a suspicious nature?
42115You promised it?
42115You refuse?
42115You still refuse?
42115You think so?
42115You will save her?
42115You will start at once, then?
42115You wish to make a proposal to me, then?
42115You would defend him, if necessary, I suppose, Shaw?
42115_ Caramba!_Valentine exclaimed,"Are they so many as that?
42115_ Caramba_,Valentine said,"are you sure of your statement, father?"
42115_ ¿ Qué gente?_the stranger continued.
42115Already?
42115And now, what do you purpose doing?"
42115And on what day was this visit paid?"
42115And who would credit it?
42115Andrés replied, impudently,"Do you think I amuse myself o''nights by watching the moon?
42115Are not those ideas yours, caballero?
42115Are not those reasons sufficient?"
42115Are the words addressed to me?"
42115Are you aware that the road is not one of the pleasantest, and I am beginning to feel tired?"
42115Are you ready to make your pronunciamento?"
42115At this very moment is he not seeking to do me a service?"
42115But do you know those secrets?"
42115But my daughter?"
42115But what is the matter, father?
42115But what would you?
42115But whence comes the interest you take in me so gratuitously, since, as you say, I do not know you?"
42115But whence, in that case, comes the sorrow I see spread over your features?"
42115But where will you be all this while?"''
42115But who will keep watch while my brothers sleep?"
42115But why did you oblige me to come to this mesón?"
42115But why shed blood needlessly?
42115Can any one of you throw a light on the subject?
42115Can he be away from the hacienda?"
42115Can you count on the persons who follow you?"
42115Can you feel vexed at the sight of me?"
42115Can you not modify them?"
42115Come, do you still mean serving me?"
42115Did I not promise you to reach the placer with my sons only?"
42115Did he not lodge his knife somewhere in your chest?"
42115Did you not really suspect from what quarter the blow came?"
42115Do the palefaces consent?"
42115Do you consider that I have explained myself clearly this time?"
42115Do you fancy I mean to sleep here?"
42115Do you fancy we let her go so?"
42115Do you feel strong enough to talk for a few minutes with me?"
42115Do you know when they will start?"
42115Do you not fear lest an unhappy accident may derange all your plans at the decisive moment?"
42115Do you not know me well enough to be certain that I would not consent to do any dishonourable deed?"
42115Do you not know that blood leaves on the hands of him who spills it stains which nothing can efface?
42115Do you recognise me now, you devil''s own Gachupino?"
42115Do you take me for a wretched abortion of your sort?"
42115Do you think it would have been difficult for me to enter the town, and effect your father''s escape by filing the bars or bribing the jailer?
42115Do you think that your measures are well taken?
42115Do you think the Spaniards are such friends of the Indians that the latter would treat them so kindly when meeting them face to face in the desert?"
42115Do you understand the meaning of this, Harry?"
42115Do you want to confess?
42115Does anyone of you know?"
42115Does he doubt the friendship of his brother Haboutzelze, the great sachem of the Comanches?"
42115Does it suit you in that way?"
42115Does my brother intend to accompany us?"
42115Does my brother know them?"
42115Does not the end justify the means?"
42115Does that plan suit you?"
42115Does the chief of the palefaces recognise it?
42115Don Miguel exclaimed in surprise,"did you--""Who else but I?
42115Don Miguel muttered thoughtfully,"who betrayed us this time?"
42115Don Miguel said with a reproachful accent,"why did you hide it from me?"
42115Don Miguel--?"
42115Don Pablo cried in a heart- rending voice,"my father, my sister-- who will restore them to me?"
42115Ellen muttered,"Can you not read in your own heart, the motive of my conduct toward this stranger?"
42115For what good?
42115General Ibañez exclaimed,"You are speaking seriously?"
42115Had I explained to you the plan I formed, what would you have done?"
42115Has Don Miguel left his prison?"
42115Has any misfortune happened to him?"
42115Has he cause to complain of anyone?"
42115Has my brother anything else to ask of me?"
42115Has my son entered into a compact with my enemies?"
42115Has not my brother his rifle?"
42115Have I not got a plan of the country?"
42115Have the people rebelled??"
42115Have the people rebelled??"
42115Have the prisoners to complain of the way in which they have been treated?"
42115Have you a horse?"
42115Have you never pardoned anybody in fight?"
42115Have you seen Father Seraphin?"
42115Have you seen anything alarming?"
42115Have you, too, suddenly become a frightful conspirator, such as we are accused of being?"
42115He wishes for war, then?"
42115Here I am: what do you want with me?"
42115How and when did you receive this wound?"
42115How can I ever recognise the continual services you do me?"
42115How is it that they consent so easily to give them up for a trifling ransom?
42115How so?"
42115How was he at this spot?
42115How was that man there?
42115How will all this end?"
42115How would you have me help you in carrying off the daughter of Don Miguel, to whom I owe so many obligations?
42115How, Don Miguel, can you, so near death as you are, still believe in honourable feelings in any man?"
42115How, without sacrificing himself, save the man who ran so great a risk?
42115I am anxious to save a woman of my colour; but what can the will of one man effect?"
42115If he noticed that I was not asleep, who knows what might happen?"
42115If so afraid of flowers now, why not take your siesta in your bedroom, instead of burying yourself in this thicket?"
42115Is he no longer the great warrior I knew?
42115Is it not so?"
42115Is it not so?"
42115Is my brother satisfied?"
42115Is not that really curious?
42115Is not that your opinion?"
42115Is there anything new?"
42115It is that my brother only really loves the buffaloes, whose meat he eats, and whose hides he sells at the_ toldería_?"
42115It was then, I suppose, that you stabbed him?"
42115Louis, my poor Louis, where are you now?"
42115Must I tell you my name that you may know with whom you have to deal?"
42115My brother wishes to know what Red Cedar has done with his prisoner?"
42115No eyes?"
42115Now that we have nothing more to say to each other and have agreed on all points-- for we have done so, I think?"
42115Now what have you resolved on?"
42115Now, one thing more; how many men have you enlisted this evening?"
42115Of what game does my brother speak?"
42115Red Cedar is about to enter the desert, as my brother doubtless knows?"
42115Red Cedar said with a grin,"Is that where the shoe pinches you, comrade?
42115Shall I never free myself from your clutches?"
42115Shall such an insult be left unpunished?
42115Shall we fasten our prisoners to the stake of blood, or restore them to liberty?"
42115Sutter said,"what the deuce can keep the old one so long?
42115The Mexican rose, thrust his machete in the grass to clean the blade, and turning coldly to the strangers, said:"What do you say to that?"
42115Then Red Cedar can not set out?"
42115Then he added,"But what has become of Shaw?
42115Then that is settled?"
42115Then you still think of that?"
42115Then you will leave your parishioners during your absence?"
42115There can not be many people at the hacienda?"
42115Today I have again a service to ask of my brother, and will he do it me?
42115Unicorn continued:--"What does my father say?
42115Valentine said laughingly, as he regulated his pace by the trot of the horses,"do you fancy you are going to tell me any news?
42115Valentine shouted as he Raised and cocked his rifle,"friend or foe?"
42115Was the town quiet today?"
42115What can I do?
42115What can you have so pressing to communicate to me?"
42115What diabolical work are they going to perform this night?"
42115What do I care for the Spaniards and their paltry disputes?
42115What do you intend to do for the present?"
42115What do you say, Pablo?"
42115What do you say, reverend father?
42115What does he want of Unicorn?"
42115What does the white hunter tell me?
42115What have I to do any longer here?
42115What is happening, my friend?
42115What is that to Unicorn?
42115What is to be done?"
42115What matter so long as you succeed?
42115What misfortune have you to announce to me?"
42115What more shall I tell you, father?
42115What need have we of this disguise?"
42115What next?"
42115What o''clock is it?"
42115What omen are you talking about, comrade?"
42115What reason could be so powerful as to produce so startling a change in this indomitable being?
42115What say my brothers?"
42115What shall we play for?"
42115What was he doing with his eye at the keyhole while the monk was shriving his brother?
42115What was to be done?
42115What would you?
42115What''s up?"
42115When Red Cedar was alone with his son he bent and whispered in his ear--"What did you do with your brother after stabbing him?"
42115When Valentine had ended,--"What does my brother think?"
42115When does my brother start?"
42115When they came a short distance from the bivouac, a sentry challenged,"Who goes there?"
42115When will you be serious for once?"
42115When will you join Red Cedar?"
42115Where is Doña Clara, at this moment?"
42115Where is she?"
42115Who am I?"
42115Who knows but that it may all be for the best?"
42115Who knows what the result might have been had I not been able to warn you?"
42115Who knows whether it is not too late now to tear from the old man the prey he covets?"
42115Who knows whether this fearful wound may not offer him the means to enter the society of honest people, which he has till now been ignorant of?
42115Who knows whether we have not already delayed our start too long?
42115Who were the men causing this disturbance?
42115Who will protect me, who will defend me in future, if we go away?"
42115Why did he come across my path?"
42115Why did not my father consent to my accompanying him?"
42115Why frighten yourself thus about a trifle?
42115Why has my father left us, instead of coming to his house?"
42115Why not enjoy a few hours of that repose so necessary for you?"
42115Why put on the skin of the lion when you are a cowardly coyote?"
42115Why this startled look, gentlemen?"
42115Why would you have done so?
42115Why, then, complicate the gravity of our situation still more, and create fresh enemies needlessly?"
42115Will you promise me this?"
42115You are off already?"
42115You have a horse?"
42115You have cards too?"
42115You have come here, you say, with the intention of delivering Doña Clara?"
42115You insist upon my commanding the expedition you project?"
42115You still doubt?"
42115You understand that you need not count on me for your expedition?"
42115and must I really tell you my name?"
42115and what scratched your shoulder?"
42115and when do you reckon on killing me?"
42115and where do you think the hunt will take place, father?"
42115he exclaimed,"What has happened?
42115he muttered as he got in the saddle,"How did this fiend discover the secret which I believed no one knew?"
42115he said in a hollow voice,"Do the dead, then, leave the tomb?"
42115he said in a low voice,"It is a placer, is it?"
42115he said,"what do you want with these children?
42115he said;"How can they dare to present themselves here?
42115she said,"Then in that case we can often meet?"
42115she shrieked in a piercing voice,"Do brothers dare threaten one another?"
42115the Mexican exclaimed, in surprise;"What could that man be doing here?"
42115the chief exclaimed,"then my brother has started some game?"
42115the general exclaimed;"And what can be the meaning of this disturbance?"
42115the general said, whom this expressive pantomime eminently alarmed;"What are you going to say?"
42115the general sharply exclaimed,"Is there no other arrangement possible?
42115the hacendero exclaimed;"And Valentine to whom I confided her, and who was responsible for her safety?"
42115the hacendero said, with a breath of relief,"and what did Isturitz say?"
42115the hunter exclaimed in despair,"what can have happened?"
42115the hunter said, with a laugh,"have you perchance led me to a love meeting, Harry?"
42115the missionary said in a deep voice,"Have I arrived just in time to prevent a double murder, gentlemen?
42115the other answered in a rough voice,"Do you believe that?
42115the other said, with a shrug of his shoulders,"were it not, should I be here?
42115the squatter said, with a groan,"Is he not dead?"
42115the young man muttered;"But how to warn the old one that the dove is in her nest?"
42115what else do you mean to make of her?"
63159A what?
63159About what?
63159Africano?
63159Ai n''t you going to say something? 63159 Am I?"
63159And maybe you and her was the only ones who knew where it was, then, no?
63159And still, Crawford, does n''t it intrigue you?
63159And what have we got when we do reach Snake Thickets?
63159Are they crazy?
63159Are you afraid to make the bet? 63159 Are you suggesting-- that you--""Why not?"
63159Because if I had done it, the whole thing could have been nothing more than the quarrel between me and Rockland?
63159But there is a good reason for the name Mogotes Serpientes?
63159Ca n''t you relax, Crawford? 63159 Ca n''t you see what you''re doing to my_ trigueño_?
63159Ca n''t you understand? 63159 Coffee?"
63159Could n''t you see it? 63159 Crawford, do n''t you understand?
63159Crawford, what is it? 63159 Crawford?"
63159Del, are you trying to tell me you did n''t kill Rockland?
63159Delcazar?
63159Did I ask for any of your stupid proverbs, Aforismo?
63159Did it ever occur to you,he said,"that the legs might not really be completely healed?"
63159Did you ever see the_ dichos_ on my belduque?
63159Did you find it?
63159Did you just stumble onto it too?
63159Did you see any Rangers around?
63159Did you see that_ mangana_? 63159 Did you?"
63159Do n''t you know?
63159Do n''t you know?
63159Do n''t you like that_ bravo_, Crawford? 63159 Do n''t you think I know what is the matter with you, Crawford?
63159Do n''t you think three months in the hospital cools a man off some, Ed?
63159Do n''t you?
63159Do you doubt my ability to do it, Crawford, if necessary?
63159Do you know what it is to be a peon in Mexico? 63159 Do you know who has the other piece, Crawford?"
63159Do you realize what it did to me? 63159 Do you think the murderer is here?"
63159Do you understand that?
63159Do you?
63159Do your legs hurt now?
63159Does Delcazar know? 63159 Does it?"
63159Does n''t it?
63159Ever stop to think of Santa Anna''s full name?
63159Glenn, you ai n''t going back?
63159Glenn--"Yes?
63159Have n''t I proved that?
63159Have you ever heard of Mogotes Serpientes?
63159Have you got a license?
63159Here, perhaps? 63159 Hide out?
63159Hm?
63159How about Tarant?
63159How about the riding, Glenn?
63159How are you, Crawford?
63159How could I know? 63159 How did it get broke?"
63159How did it get broke?
63159How did it happen to Whitehead?
63159How did it happen?
63159How did you find us?
63159How did you lose the sorrel? 63159 How did you lose the sorrel?"
63159How do I know? 63159 How do you get in, Delcazar?"
63159How do you like that,_ señorita_?
63159How does this line up with Tinaja de la Tortuga?
63159How is Del mixed up in this?
63159How many bulls you got in that corral, Aforismo? 63159 How many shots does that Winchester hold?"
63159How''d he break his neck?
63159How''s that, Huerta?
63159How''s the sorrel?
63159How-- how did you get out?
63159Huerta came up?
63159Huerta--"Yes?
63159Huerta?
63159Hurry, Crawford, hurry, please, what are you doing this for? 63159 Hyacinth, what did you think of that story about Santa Anna''s chests?"
63159I guess I do n''t know, really, do I?
63159I guess there''s no use denying it, is there?
63159I said where you going?
63159I think it would be wise, now, Crawford, for you to come with me, up to the house, do n''t you?
63159I think maybe we better all go in the bunkhouse, eh? 63159 I think we all know what happened to Whitehead,"he said,"do n''t you?"
63159I''m still here, ai n''t I?
63159If?
63159Impression about what, Huerta?
63159Is it?
63159Is it?
63159Is n''t he?
63159Is n''t that the same piece of side meat you had when we were here last?
63159Is that sufficient reason?
63159Is there a way into Snake Thickets, Del?
63159It seems that you have n''t got one friend left on the Rockland_ estancia_, does n''t it,_ Señor_ Crawford?
63159It was hit?
63159It_ is_ a Ranger?
63159Just what did happen out there?
63159License?
63159Like in a fall?
63159Llano Sacaguista, Puenta Piedra, Resaca Perdida-- you do n''t know any of these?
63159Lopez?
63159Merida? 63159 Merida?"
63159Merida?
63159Merida?
63159Merida?
63159Montezuma Embrujada?
63159No pain? 63159 No, damn you, no, I--""Pain?"
63159No,he said,"no-- listen--""What''s wrong with your gun?"
63159No--"Here?
63159No? 63159 Oh?"
63159Otis,he cried,"Otis, did Del give you this?
63159Otis?
63159Otis?
63159Perhaps I should have said,_ can_ you?
63159Perhaps you would like a drink-- after what happened, no?
63159Quartel--"_ Sí?_The man had released Merida and wheeled to face Crawford.
63159Quartel?
63159Quartel?
63159Quartel?
63159Quartel?
63159Santa Anna''s chests?
63159Snake Thickets? 63159 Speaking of Quartel, that was quite an exhibition this afternoon, was n''t it?
63159Still got those cavalry boots?
63159Still snipping cinches, Bueno?
63159That''s inconceivable to you, is n''t it?
63159The lawman?
63159The man at Rockland''s?
63159The map?
63159The_ derrotero_? 63159 Then why are you so het- up if you do n''t know anything about it?"
63159Then why did n''t you leave?
63159Then why so stiff?
63159Then why watch?
63159Then, those other lawmen--"The ones I told you about when I found you at Delcazar''s?
63159Then-- you did n''t?
63159They''ll think it was Delcazar, wo n''t they? 63159 They?"
63159Think I can do it that way?
63159Think I''d have a chance? 63159 This the river?"
63159To Crawford,said Merida,"or Whitehead?"
63159Trying to tell you? 63159 Was it just the land?"
63159Was it?
63159Well,said the woman impatiently,"is it?"
63159Whadda you mean?
63159Whaddaya mean?
63159What about the horse?
63159What about the way I was watching it?
63159What are you doing?
63159What are you saying?
63159What are you talking about? 63159 What are you talking about?"
63159What are you trying to do, Huerta?
63159What caliber you got?
63159What did happen to you, Crawford?
63159What do you know, Del?
63159What do you mean?
63159What do you mean?
63159What do you think?
63159What else?
63159What good would it do, Crawford? 63159 What happened, Crawford?"
63159What happened, Del? 63159 What happened?"
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What have they done to her?
63159What have you got in your hand?
63159What horse you on now?
63159What is it?
63159What is it?
63159What is it?
63159What is it?
63159What is n''t the way?
63159What kind of crowbait is this?
63159What kind of horse you on?
63159What makes you so touchy about a badge- packer?
63159What saddle you in now?
63159What sorrel?
63159What type do you think I am?
63159What was it out there, Glenn?
63159What''s the idea, Huerta?
63159What''s the matter, Crawford? 63159 What''s the matter, Crawford?
63159What''s the matter, Crawford? 63159 What''s the matter, Crawford?"
63159What''s the matter, Crawford?
63159What''s the matter, Crawford?
63159What''s the matter, Juarez?
63159What''s the matter?
63159What?
63159What?
63159What?
63159What_ do_ you want?
63159When are you letting the_ toros_ out? 63159 When do you mean?"
63159Where did you find him, Crawford?
63159Where is Quartel?
63159Where is Quartel?
63159Where you going?
63159Where you going?
63159Where''s Quartel?
63159Where''s the rest of it, Glenn?
63159Where''s the sorrel?
63159Where''s the sorrel?
63159Where''s your iron?
63159Which one of us do you think murdered Otis Rockland?
63159Whitehead was Quartel''s man?
63159Who else?
63159Who is it?
63159Who said he did?
63159Who was it downstairs?
63159Who was right?
63159Who?
63159Whose chests? 63159 Why did you bring Whitehead back, Crawford?"
63159Why did you come back with Whitehead?
63159Why did you come back?
63159Why do n''t you sit down?
63159Why do n''t you sit down?
63159Why do n''t you think things out a bit longer before you see Otis Rockland again?
63159Why do n''t you try it, Crawford?
63159Why does it disturb you so much, Crawford, if you feel no pain?
63159Why else did you give me the knife?
63159Why else were you so het- up when I got Delcazar''s spread? 63159 Why not skirt that section of the_ brasada_ until we strike Rio Diablo?
63159Why not?
63159Why should Merida do such a thing?
63159Why should Whitehead want to kill you?
63159Why should he find out?
63159Why should she want to get rid of you?
63159Why?
63159Why?
63159Why?
63159Why?
63159Will you never trust me, Crawford? 63159 Will you stop that, Bueno?"
63159With ropes?
63159Wo n''t you sit down? 63159 Would that give her a connection?"
63159Would you like my Loyal Lover to see inside the sack?
63159Would you serve, Wallace?
63159Yeah?
63159Yeah?
63159You are beginning to see, no? 63159 You do n''t think I am any good?"
63159You do n''t think that''s too much of a hair trigger, do you? 63159 You feel all right this morning?"
63159You fell?
63159You have n''t been in the_ brasada_ long, have you?
63159You heard the one about the map?
63159You mean you thought you was running from a Ranger?
63159You owe somebody something?
63159You refuse to give one inch, do n''t you? 63159 You say his neck is broken?"
63159You think she put Africano in there?
63159You think that''s why she did it?
63159You think you can do this to me?
63159You want to try and stop me?
63159You''re offering me some kind of proposition?
63159You''ve never actually been there?
63159Your job?
63159Your legs do n''t hurt now, do they?
63159Your woman?
63159_ Carne adobada, carne adobada?_said Jacinto, waddling in.
63159_ Compañeros_, ca n''t you hear me? 63159 _ Cristo_, will somebody take it out?
63159_ Derrotero?_she said, watching his face narrowly.
63159_ Dichos?_ What right have you got to_ dichos_? 63159 _ Dichos?_ What right have you got to_ dichos_?
63159_ Dios_, Crawford, how did you throw it so hard? 63159 _ Dónde esta Merida?_"he shouted.
63159_ Madre de Dios_, Crawford, why do you let him do this thing?
63159_ Marshal_ Quartel?
63159_ Pechero?_he said, swiftly buckling the bull- hide chaps on.
63159_ Tu barrachon, largo de aqui, tu chile, no puedo sufrir su insolencia--_"My insolence?
63159_ Válgame Dios._ What happened? 63159 Aforismo? 63159 Africano, maybe?
63159An old complaint._ Huerta?
63159An old complaint?
63159Aphorisms?
63159Are you afraid of the horse?"
63159Are you all right?
63159Are you loco?
63159As for his presence among us, you are n''t afraid of him, are you, Wallace?"
63159Bible Two?
63159Ca n''t you hear me?
63159Ca n''t you see what she did?
63159Ca n''t you see what they were doing?
63159Ca n''t you understand?
63159Can we?
63159Can you understand that?
63159Coming, Merida?"
63159Could anybody where you come from do it?"
63159Could they?
63159Crawford?"
63159Did n''t you see how Quartel looked at you?
63159Did that stay with you a long time, Crawford?
63159Did they take her?
63159Did you ever see my knife, Crawford?
63159Did you ever see such fine molds?
63159Did you see that?
63159Did you see what they were trying to do with you?
63159Did you think I was finished?
63159Dissolute?
63159Do n''t you know this is the way Oro Peso died down in Mexico?
63159Do n''t you know?
63159Do n''t you like that in a woman?
63159Do n''t you, Merida?"
63159Do you blame me for marrying Capitán Mendoza when he asked?
63159Do you realize what it did to me?
63159Do you still maintain you did n''t murder Rockland?"
63159Does a man like you have any conception of that kind of money?
63159Does that satisfy you?"
63159Feel any pain?"
63159Feel that?
63159Four hours?
63159Had he screamed it?
63159Had him trapped?
63159Had that been him?
63159Has n''t he been through enough today?
63159Have you ever seen better?
63159He really cracked up good, did n''t he?
63159Here?"
63159Him?
63159Hm?
63159How about it, Merida?
63159How about yours?"
63159How can it be?
63159How could I be?_"Take it easy,"snapped Bueno.
63159How could it be?
63159How did Rockland get hold of this portion?"
63159How did he get here?
63159How did you mean?"
63159How did you stand it so long, Crawford?
63159How did you stand it?"
63159How do I know anything?
63159How do you like it?
63159How do you mean?"
63159How does that belduque know?"
63159Huerta had stopped them?
63159Huerta?
63159Huerta?"
63159I did n''t touch it with my hands, did I?
63159I rod this outfit and I can do anything I want and nobody can stop me, do you hear?"
63159I told you, did n''t I?"
63159I was so afraid--""Merida-- Where are you?"
63159I''ll bet it goes clear through the wall into-- Crawford, where you going?"
63159If you''d had a gun, would you have used it today?
63159In bed and in jail we know our friends?
63159Is it inconceivable to you?"
63159Is it too sweet for you?
63159Is n''t it pretty?"
63159Is n''t there always, with something like that?"
63159Is that what you want?
63159It''s all here, is n''t it?
63159It''s what she came up here in the first place for, is n''t it?
63159Jacinto?
63159Kill him like that?
63159Like it got me?
63159Look at the scabby_ pordiosero_--""Who was it did n''t like violence?"
63159Made for laughter and wassail and song?
63159Making candles?"
63159Merida came to you for help, did n''t she?"
63159Merida eo puso alli, en su cuarto!_""My room?"
63159Merida, will you honor me?"
63159On your undershirt?"
63159Or was it excitation?
63159Or was it the waiting?
63159Pain?"
63159Pain?"
63159Pain?"
63159Please, Crawford, what more can you want?
63159Savvy?"
63159Seven?
63159She forced herself away, saying it in a cold tone,"Africano?"
63159Shrill, and cracked, like that?
63159Sort of brings back things, does n''t it?
63159Sort of scary, is n''t it?
63159Sure, why not?
63159That belduque never kissed anything but the inside of your belt--""_ Madre_,"howled Aforismo,"take it easy, will you?"
63159That get you, Bailey?
63159That get you, Whitehead?
63159That get you?
63159That''s ironic, is n''t it?
63159They did this to you?"
63159They had n''t found him?
63159They thought they could do this to him?
63159They thought they could lock him in a stall with a killer?
63159They thought they had him?
63159Think he''d just wait?
63159Those eyes?
63159Three hours?
63159To come out on the porch that morning and see you standing there beside Whitehead''s body, knowing what it meant?"
63159Tripe is sweet but bowels are better, eh?"
63159Tripe is sweet?
63159Was Oro Peso better?"
63159What are you after there, Glenn?"
63159What are you doing here?"
63159What are you talking about, Otis?"
63159What do you think of it, Huerta?
63159What do you want?"
63159What good are they now?
63159What happened?"
63159What happened?"
63159What is it, Huerta?
63159What the hell?
63159What time had it been?
63159What will you do if I let you go?"
63159What would Kenmare do if he found we''d caught Crawford and had n''t notified the authorities?"
63159What would he do if he found out, for sure, one way or another?"
63159What''s the matter?
63159Where did you find him?"
63159Where did you get this map?"
63159Where do you pin the badge?
63159Where is she?
63159Where was the rest of it?
63159Where''s my horse?
63159Where?
63159Which do you like best, Crawford?"
63159Who is going to put the blindfold on?
63159Who wants pesos--""How do you get in?"
63159Who would suspect them of sending in a lawman who could n''t even sit a horse?"
63159Why do you all keep beating around the thicket this way?
63159Why do you think Huerta kept you up at the house this morning?
63159Why do you think they left me here?"
63159Why should Quartel want you killed?"
63159Why should he?"
63159Why, Crawford?
63159Why?
63159Why?
63159Will you get out of my way?"
63159Will you?"
63159Would you have pulled yours on him?"
63159Yet, the possibility of sincerity--"Shall we go into the kitchen?"
63159You could ride any horse I could, remember?"
63159You found what you wanted?"
63159You know what my father he tell me?"
63159You think you can lock me in here like this?
63159You wanted him for cow work?
63159You''re hardly the type, are you?
63159You''re loco--""Who did it?
63159You''ve never seen it, have you?
63159_ All the symptoms of genuine pain._ Was that what Huerta had said?
63159_ Buenos días_, for an old_ amigo_, or how are things?"
63159_ Dónde, dónde?_""_ En su cuarto.
63159_ How could I be?
63159_ I''m not afraid, Huerta._ How could he be?
63159_ Nothing compares with my kiss._ Is n''t that a delectable motto?"
63159_ Proverbios._ Why do n''t you give us a saying now, Aforismo?"
63159_ Que hace?_ Who is it?
63159_ Que hace?_ Who is it?
63159_ Sabe?_""What''s Huerta got to say about it?"
63159_ Sabe?_""What''s Huerta got to say about it?"
63159_ Tripe is sweet but bowels are better._ Do n''t you like that one best?"
63159_ Tripe is sweet but bowels are better._ Do n''t you like that one, Jacinto?"
9903A blacksmith-- in Martindale-- raised on romances?
9903About you?
9903About young Lanning?
9903Afraid of you? 9903 Ah?
9903Ah?
9903Ai n''t you been goin''about makin''a talk that you was after me? 9903 Ai n''t you got shame?
9903Ai n''t you sleepin''in?
9903All of what?
9903All this distance to talk?
9903And after that you will never look at me again, never think of me again?
9903And if he''d gone up?
9903And they smelled you out?
9903And when you get away what''ll you do? 9903 And where,"said Andrew at the end of this long recital,"do I fit in?"
9903And who''s got the right to the head of things but me?
9903And you are not afraid of me?
9903Anne Withero?
9903Anne,said he,"are you thinking about the safety of that murderer-- now?
9903Are you angry? 9903 Are you easier now?"
9903Are you keen to get him, Bill?
9903Are you laughing at me, Anne?
9903Are you mad, dear?
9903Are you one of the boys on the trail? 9903 Are you one of the posse?"
9903Are you-- do you mean you''re going to fight the other man, too?
9903Because he killed a horse trying to get you, you''re going to give him a chance to shoot you?
9903Bill,said the young fellow,"what sort of a man is this Lanning?"
9903Boys,he said,"I''ll say this: Are we going to bust up and each man go his way?"
9903But do n''t the trail come here? 9903 But the man was n''t dead?
9903But what''s that got to do with that hyena, Bill Dozier?
9903But where will you go? 9903 But why''d you beg him to look into the attic?
9903But why? 9903 By the way, if you''re out of Hal''s country, maybe you know Lanning, too?"
9903Can I put you up? 9903 Can you give''em to me, Merchant?
9903D''you know me?
9903D''you maybe recollect my pal, Bud Swain? 9903 D''you remember Hugh Wiley now?"
9903D''you stack a little coin against the loss of Allister?
9903D''you think it can be done?
9903D''you want to get the kid for that beggarly mess? 9903 Did n''t the boy fight clean?"
9903Did you get a description of young Lanning?
9903Did you hear that?
9903Did you hear?
9903Did you see him? 9903 Do n''t I know it?
9903Do n''t you know that Andy''s a crazy, man- killin''fool when he gets started? 9903 Do n''t you see?
9903Do n''t you?
9903Do you fear me?
9903Do you fear me?
9903Do you know me?
9903Do you know me?
9903Do you know why? 9903 Do you want me to see the six brave men again?"
9903Does that answer you? 9903 Dozier, are you thinkin''of Allister, curse you?"
9903Dozier, what''s all this fool talk?
9903Drop a helpless man-- for money?
9903Even to thoughts? 9903 Fighter?"
9903From Tomo?
9903Going to turn back into the plains?
9903Got a light, partner?
9903Hal Dozier?
9903Has Gray Peter died, and have I been under Hal Dozier''s rifle only to speak to you?
9903Have I traveled four days?
9903Have the boys shown themselves?
9903Have you ever seen your master?
9903Have you noticed his hands?
9903Have you seen''em?
9903Havin''one of your little parties, eh?
9903He ai n''t nothin''?
9903He killed your brother, did n''t he?
9903He told you where to find me?
9903He-- he''s been shot, ai n''t he, granddad?
9903Hey, captain, another cup of coffee, will you? 9903 How are you?"
9903How could I tell a man- killer like him could n''t stand no more than a girl?
9903How d''you see the future yourself?
9903How do I know it''s his fault?
9903How do you make that out-- with four men in the next room ready to stick a knife in your back-- if I know anything about''em?
9903How far?
9903How old are you, son?
9903How''d you know him by this light?
9903How''ll they know that it was luck-- that my gun stuck in the holster-- and that you jumped me on the draw?
9903How?
9903I gather you''re not very happy, Andy?
9903I hear Mr. Dozier''s here?
9903I suppose you meant it all? 9903 In spite of what I''ve said?"
9903Is he dead?
9903Is he gone?
9903Is he such a fine fighter?
9903Is it?
9903Is that fair?
9903Is that the one that run Gray Peter to death? 9903 Is there something wrong with her?"
9903Is there?
9903Is this no harm?
9903Is this your friend?
9903It''s you, eh?
9903Jeff, what do you say?
9903Lanning? 9903 Me?"
9903Now, tell me, how is Jasper?
9903Oh, grandad,said Jud,"how''d you guess he was there all the time?"
9903One of the posse Hal is getting together? 9903 One of who?"
9903Otherwise I can go find another gent to do my shoein''?
9903Out of the desert? 9903 Partner,"said Andrew, stunned,"what are you drivin''at?"
9903Partner,said Bill to the last speaker,"ai n''t we makin''all the speed we can?
9903Same as any other attic, I suppose, Pop?
9903Scottie,he said,"will you let me have your flask?"
9903See them holes? 9903 See them long, stringy muscles in the forearm?
9903So this here is the lion, is it?
9903So you and him are goin''to team it? 9903 So you have to fight Hal Dozier?"
9903So?
9903Some of you fools get some sense, will you?
9903Son,he said to the urchin,"how much for that horse?"
9903Suppose some one hears it?
9903Suppose you deal for us?
9903The big speckled feller?
9903The same?
9903There''s only one thing up between the lot of us: Do I keep Hal Dozier, or do you get him-- to murder him? 9903 They''ve sent those through the mountains already?"
9903Think he''ll let you come close enough to talk? 9903 This here is the ravenin'', tearin'', screechin''man- eater?
9903Tomo? 9903 Trust you?
9903Want you? 9903 Want you?"
9903Well, Buck?
9903Well, lad?
9903Well,said Hal Dozier faintly,"what can you do with a man who do n''t know how to choose between a horse and a girl?"
9903What I ask you,said La Roche,"is this: Have we had any luck since the kid joined us?"
9903What are you talking about?
9903What d''you intend to do with him?
9903What d''you mean by that?
9903What d''you want with Garry?
9903What does he mean,said Bill Dozier aloud,"by breakin''for Jack Merchant''s house?"
9903What is it?
9903What kind of news?
9903What makes you think that?
9903What started it?
9903What would it be?
9903What''s leading the gang got to do with fighting?
9903What''s new?
9903What''s the matter with you, Jud?
9903What''s the matter?
9903What''s the news?
9903What''s the one thing for which you''d come back?
9903What, granddad?
9903What?
9903When I look at it I''m to remember that you are forgetting me?
9903When you bump into that Dozier, Andy,he said,"get him, will you?
9903Where is he?
9903Where is he?
9903Where''s a doctor?
9903Where''s supper?
9903Where?
9903Which one of you is willing to ride down the canyon and meet him alone? 9903 Which one of you is willing to take the challenge?"
9903Who asked him to be captain?
9903Who picked you? 9903 Who''ll tell me it''s lucky,"he said,"to have a gent that starts out by makin''us all stop on the trail?
9903Who''s been talkin''to you?
9903Who''s been talkin''to you?
9903Who''s there?
9903Who? 9903 Why did n''t you shoot him down, Pop?
9903Why did you do it, Hank?
9903Why do n''t you go after him by yourself, Dozier? 9903 Why not?"
9903Why should I look again?
9903Why, Andy,said the canny fellow,"did n''t you see me pass you the wink?
9903Why, granddad,said Jud,"do n''t I know you would n''t never let no posse take me from you?
9903Why?
9903Will I?
9903Will you go?
9903Will you let me tell you a story, Andrew? 9903 Will you remember me?"
9903Will you remember me?
9903You been seein''that squirrel that''s been runnin''across the clearin''?
9903You do? 9903 You done me no harm?"
9903You figure on layin''over here for the night, stranger?
9903You got your gun on Lanning-- off the wall-- before he had you covered?
9903You left Allister to fight alone?
9903You mean to keep me here?
9903You seen it, boys? 9903 You want me to go out and fight him?
9903You want''em to come in here and drill you, eh?
9903You was sold, eh?
9903You''d like a little gun play with that fellow?
9903You''re Hank Rainer, are n''t you?
9903You''re him that put the pinto in the corral, I guess?
9903You''ve done me no harm?
9903You''ve seen Allister?
9903You?
9903A night of surprise parties?"
9903Again, why?"
9903Ai n''t I seen the posters?
9903Ai n''t it what I want to come up to the fool kid and grab him before he makes a hoss thief or somethin''out of himself?
9903Ai n''t you never goin''to get grown up, Jud?"
9903And are you going to let him go clear, Jeff?
9903And even when they''ve drilled me clean, and you''ve got the reward, do n''t you know that you''ll be a skunk among real men from this time on?
9903And he killed Bill Dozier, did he?
9903And is there any back trail to the house?"
9903And see him take that saddle?
9903And was he, Andrew Lanning, unknown until the past few months, now going down to face destruction, as full of fear as a girl trembling at the dark?
9903And why all these endless preparations if these men of Martindale were not killers?
9903And why not?
9903And you see the way his stomach caves in?
9903And you seen him get to his gun?
9903And you''re him?"
9903And you?"
9903Andy, d''you see that you do n''t fit around here?
9903Andy, do you know that the girl never married Charles Merchant?"
9903Anybody differ?
9903Anybody weakenin''?"
9903Are they scattered around the edge of the clearing, or are they on the way?
9903Are we going to be bullied into having him there?"
9903Are you going to have Allister haunt you?"
9903Are you ill now?"
9903Are you one of us?"
9903Are you sure your head''s clear?"
9903As Buck turned with a surly"What the darnation?"
9903Besides, it came to him after he started, were not the men of Bill Dozier apt to miss this sudden swinging of the trail?
9903Besides, what d''you mean by laughin''at the law?"
9903Besides, what would he say if they did stop?
9903Bill had horses which could outrun the fugitive, and why did he not use them?
9903But Larry la Roche answered:"What''s this fool talk about takin''a challenge?
9903But as long as I can I''m fighting to keep clean, you understand?"
9903But besides him-- all the rest-- do they make no difference?"
9903But do n''t you see, Dozier?"
9903But fight emptyhanded-- and against Hal Dozier?
9903But if I do n''t?"
9903But of all those doors up and down the hall, which would be hers?
9903But suppose I do n''t know anything except you''re Jasper''s nephew?
9903But they''ve outlawed Lanning, have they?"
9903But what could he do?
9903But what''s all this?"
9903But who else would follow you?
9903But who steps out and takes the lead?
9903But would Larry or Scottie follow Clune?
9903But, say, is your boy really out for his scalp?"
9903Ca n''t you stay, Andy?
9903Can you do it?"
9903Can you give me fresh horses for me and my boys, Merchant?"
9903Can you put me up?"
9903Could he be sure that on her second visit she would have the same room?
9903Could they have outridden the gelding to such an extent as that?
9903Could you use a bit of ready cash?"
9903Dead?
9903Dead?
9903Did he give one good piece of advice while we were plannin''the job?
9903Did he know of the passing of young Lanning?
9903Did he show any ability to lead us, then?"
9903Did it not expose him utterly?
9903Did n''t I do his planning with him?
9903Did n''t you know he''d see him right off?"
9903Did not Uncle Jasper force Andy to go through the same maneuvers for twice as long between sunset and sunrise?
9903Did you feel like fainting then?"
9903Did you figure on that when you sold me?"
9903Did you see him let Dozier get the jump on his gun?
9903Did you tell that to the sheriff?"
9903Did you watch?
9903Did you?
9903Do I look as if I was joking with you?"
9903Do n''t I know maybe you''d clean''em all up?"
9903Do n''t you see that I''m happy, happy, happy to see you again?"
9903Do n''t you think he would of made that one leader?
9903Do we split up?"
9903Do you know what the change was?
9903Do you remember?"
9903Do you understand?"
9903Does that mean anything to you?"
9903Dozier''s the law, is n''t he?
9903Eh, boys?"
9903Eh, chief?"
9903Eh?"
9903Even if he could find an open window, or if the door were unlatched, how could he find the girl?
9903Even to friendship?"
9903Ever hear of me?"
9903Every one could hear Andrew say:"I hear you''ve been making a talk about me, Buck?"
9903Fair fight?
9903Find a man with his sights?
9903Five thousand dollars?
9903Go straight?"
9903Gray Peter''s heart was never in doubt, but what would Sally''s courage be in a pinch?
9903Had Dozier seen him around the elbow curve?
9903Had Scottie missed his trick?
9903Has he ever been one of us?
9903Have you come all this distance to tell me?"
9903He felt now that there was indeed a strong, hard metal in him; fear had put it there-- or was it fear itself?
9903He was almost asleep when the marshal said:"Are you really going to stick it out, Andy?"
9903He was always a hound for a job like that, eh?"
9903He was n''t dead?"
9903Hey, Scottie, shake up the fire and put on some coffee, will you?
9903Hey, you, what''s that lump inside your coat?
9903How come it you stayed so close to Tomo?
9903How could five men attack it after it was stopped?
9903How could he refuse a gift so delicately made?
9903How could he see her, and if he saw her, what would he say to her?
9903How could he tell?
9903How could one man stop it?
9903How do I know that the kid wo n''t make a good leader?"
9903How do you see it?"
9903How does it look to you, boys?
9903How does she sell?"
9903How long would it take Dozier to come?
9903How many?"
9903How will you escape?"
9903How would she come?
9903How would they meet him halfway?
9903How would they storm it?
9903I ask you, man to man, did you ever see a cleaner floor than that in a woman''s kitchen?"
9903I could retire and live happy ever after, eh?"
9903I do n''t deny, either, that he''s a fine gent in lots of ways-- and in his place-- but is his place at the head of the gang?
9903I got a duty to perform, ai n''t I?
9903I guess you''ll be remembering him?"
9903I suppose Jasper showed you his tricks?"
9903If I do n''t take the bargain you pull that trigger?"
9903If he exposed himself, would not the three of them pull their guns?
9903If he were allowed to stretch out after the mare, what would the result be?
9903If that''s possible--""Where is she?"
9903If there''d been one that could keep the rest of you together, d''you think Allister would n''t have seen it?
9903In the hills?"
9903In the joy of her triumph that evening?
9903Iron dust?
9903Is Hal Dozier out there?"
9903Is a marriage a blot or a stain?"
9903Is he one of us?
9903Is it square, Lanning?"
9903Is it wrong to give you a present?"
9903Is n''t that true?"
9903Is that a good sign?"
9903Is that fair?"
9903Is that straight?
9903Is that straight?"
9903Is that straight?"
9903It is: Is Hal Dozier going to live or die?"
9903It puzzled Andrew, but the big man ran on smoothly enough:"Lanning ai n''t a popular name around here, you see?
9903It was discovery undoubtedly-- and how long would that mental paralysis last?
9903Jeff, have I?"
9903Know what''s apt to happen if they was to find that you''d helped to get a outlaw off free?"
9903Lanning?
9903Looks like he was kind of ganted up, do n''t it?
9903Man- killer?
9903Maybe he''s got a few more suggestions to make, sittin''in?
9903Maybe they''ll play for silver for the fun of it, eh, boys?"
9903Maybe you got another way of thinkin''?"
9903Mind if I look it over?"
9903Not much of a compliment, is it?"
9903Now tell me where that girl''s room is?"
9903Now, Hank, what made you do it?"
9903Or are you going to make the play at me?
9903Or take him?
9903Or was she, perhaps, married?
9903Out of the mountains?"
9903Over against the wall as the door closed he was saying to himself:"What''s happened?
9903Pretty easy money, eh, for putting the rollers under a kid?"
9903Rifle?
9903Scottie, did you ever see me shoot with a rifle?"
9903See anything?"
9903Seems there was a young gent in Martindale-- all you boys know old Jasper Lanning?"
9903Shoot?
9903Should he have said that?
9903Should he let it rest at that?
9903Sick, you understand?
9903Six enough, boys?"
9903Stay here?
9903Suppose somebody was to come around and say,''Seen Lanning?''
9903Tell me one thing-- are the boys here yet?
9903That all?"
9903That straight?"
9903The big one in front?
9903The old snapshot of the year before, which Jasper had taken?
9903Them spots look tolerable like red paint, do n''t they?
9903Then the voice of Henry,"You''d plan on fighting us all?"
9903Think I''m going to let''em say later on that anybody done this and then got away from Bill Dozier?
9903Think of the gent that''ll get ten thousand dollars out of a single slug?"
9903This much thieves and murderers had done for him; what would the good men of the world do?
9903Understand?
9903Unless you''ll try a round or two with''em, stranger?
9903Was he blind not to see the figure that waited for him?
9903Was his life worth my life?
9903Was it any wonder that Andrew could not answer?
9903Was it not fear that had brought the gun into his hand so easily when the crowd rushed him from the door of the saloon?
9903Was it not fear that had made his nerves so rocklike as he faced that crowd and made his get- away?
9903Was it you, Scottie?
9903Was n''t I his advance agent?
9903Was not Uncle Jasper himself continually dinning into his ears the terrible possibilities of trouble?
9903Was not Uncle Jasper, even in his old age, religiously exacting in his hour or more of gun exercise each day?
9903Was not that a suspicious speech?
9903Well, come to think of it, I guess you''re a stranger around here, ai n''t you?"
9903Well, lad, what do you say?"
9903Well,"he added carelessly,"I wonder when my fool posse will get through hunting for the remains of poor Lanning?
9903Well?"
9903What could I say, if you was here?
9903What did cunning of head and speed of horse count against the law when the law had electricity for its agent?
9903What job did he have at the holdup?
9903What kind of talk do you mean?"
9903What picture would they take?
9903What sort of a looking fellow is he?"
9903What surety do you want?"
9903What was it that drew them together, so unfairly matched?
9903What was the hair?
9903What wonder, then, that Andrew began to see the world through a bright mist?
9903What would not one of these men do for that sum?
9903What''s Lanning done that he has a right to fill Allister''s place with us?
9903What''s a desperado in the real sense?
9903What''s a name to me?
9903What''s happened?"
9903What''s happened?"
9903What''s he got to do with the rotten life we lead here, Uncle Jas?"
9903What''s he like?"
9903What''s on your hands now?"
9903What''s this?
9903When I seen Dozier comin'', who was it that stepped out to meet him?
9903When the bandaging was completed, he asked,"Do you know you''ve started a job you ca n''t finish?"
9903When we stuck up the train did n''t he have the easiest job?
9903Where was you lyin''low?
9903Where was you with your gal, Joe?
9903Where''d he learn them man- sized words, Jas?"
9903Where''s her room?"
9903Which way you come from?"
9903Who asked him to join us?
9903Who would not kill a horse for the sake of saying that he had been within pistol range of the great outlaw?
9903Who''lected you, son?
9903Who''ll ride with Bill Dozier tonight?"
9903Who''s he?
9903Who''s with Bill Dozier to bring back this milk- fed kid?"
9903Why are you after me?
9903Why could he not go back, face them, give up his gun, wait for the law to speak?
9903Why d''you ask?"
9903Why did n''t he let me run until I found out that I had n''t killed Buck Heath?
9903Why did not Dozier fire?
9903Why did you bring me here?"
9903Why not a hundred?
9903Why not sooner?
9903Why?
9903Why?
9903Why?
9903Why?
9903Will you do that?"
9903Will you let me have those two minutes for talk?"
9903Will you take the money and clear out?
9903Will you tell me?"
9903Will you try that?"
9903Wo n''t we?
9903Would she come laughing, with all the triumph of the dance bright in her face?
9903Would there be someone with her?
9903You ai n''t old enough to know your own mind, are you?"
9903You call that watch an heirloom?
9903You do n''t want to ruin me with Jud, do you?"
9903You hear me?
9903You hear?"
9903You know the old shack up there?
9903You may have heard the voices of the men who came up the hall with me?"
9903You see these rocks, here?
9903You see?
9903You understand?
9903You understand?"
9903You would n''t let him catch you?"
9903You''d hunt me down and kill me like a dog after you get back on your feet?"
9903You''ll have to do it eventually, why not do it now?
9903Your poor old pa give you this to go to school on, did he?
61620Am I not a proper man?
61620Am I not a soldier?
61620Am I not here? 61620 Am I not here?"
61620Am I not your friend? 61620 Am I to be insulted with every word?"
61620An innocent, high- born, gentle girl?
61620And are up again so soon? 61620 And at the last,_ señor_, if it is seen that there is no hope-- may I then see your dear face?"
61620And did the rogue frighten you,_ señorita_?
61620And do you not wish to see a highwayman captured? 61620 And does it not?
61620And get me executed?
61620And has this Señor Zorro paid you a visit recently?
61620And he asked that you hide him, so he could escape capture at our hands?
61620And he did not tell your sergeant that Don Carlos had sent him? 61620 And if I do not?"
61620And not come yourself?
61620And that shows what?
61620And that the Doña Catalina is a party to the treason? 61620 And the cause for it, my son?"
61620And the charge?
61620And the haughty_ doña_, who sneered at me, and the proud_ señorita_ who scorned the troopers?
61620And the soldiers?
61620And what do you expect to find?
61620And what do you here?
61620And what has that to do with it?
61620And what man do I we d?
61620And what shall you do now, my sergeant?
61620And where have you put Don Carlos Pulido and his ladies?
61620And why do you, son of evil, ride your horse on my veranda?
61620And why is the governor so particularly bitter against you,_ señor_?
61620And why not, fat one?
61620And you are kind enough to warn me?
61620And you expect to find him in this poor house?
61620And you,_ señor_?
61620And your intentions, excellency?
61620Are all here?
61620Are all now ready?
61620Are you a_ fray_, that you pinch coins?
61620Are you always to go chasing around the country and creating a tumult?
61620Are you blind? 61620 Are you just from bed,_ fray_?"
61620As a_ caballero_?
61620At least, I may break this news to my wife and daughter without an outsider being at my shoulder?
61620Business?
61620But Lolita?
61620But do you think there will be a marriage between Don Diego and the Señorita Pulido?
61620But not you?
61620But, if this highwayman should stop you?
61620By the saints, am I talking too much?
61620By the saints, and can not you see the good corporal and three of our comrades? 61620 Can it be possible?"
61620Can it be that you intend to take me to task?
61620Can not we allow this marriage business to drop for the time being?
61620Can one man thus make fools of the lot of you?
61620Captain Ramón, how comes this? 61620 Come to-- to punish me, fool?
61620Could anything be more devilish?
61620Dangerous? 61620 Did I say as much?"
61620Did I say that he had business with me?
61620Did you capture this Señor Zorro?
61620Did you get it?
61620Did you go to the_ señorita_ in a cold- blooded manner and suggest that you we d and have it done with? 61620 Did you not laugh when the_ fray_ was being whipped?
61620Did you show her your heart, mention your love, and agree to be a perfect husband?
61620Do I wish to see you taken here? 61620 Do you doubt it,_ señor_?"
61620Do you hear that, Don Carlos? 61620 Do you mean to insinuate,_ señor_, that I am not of good blood?"
61620Do you not understand,_ señor_? 61620 Do you prefer_ carcel_ or a coffin, señor?"
61620Do you think I would make a proper husband?
61620Do you think I would run away like a criminal?
61620Do you wish to receive another beating,_ fray_? 61620 Does my military business interest you that much?"
61620Does this Captain Ramón remain long at the_ hacienda_?
61620Fray Felipe, you wish to go with me?
61620Has he courage, spirit? 61620 Have you anything to say,_ fray_?"
61620Have you looked at my house? 61620 Have you no spirit at all?
61620He escaped?
61620He had a pistol--"Why did you not take it away from him, then, and crowd it down his throat? 61620 He ran you through the shoulder, eh?
61620He rode in this direction?
61620How are things in the_ pueblo_ of Reina de Los Angeles?
61620How did you happen to be there?
61620How is that, Don Diego?
61620How is that, brave one?
61620How is this? 61620 How is this?
61620How is this?
61620I am accused of treason, when, though the victim of oppression, I have withheld my hand against those in power? 61620 I believe you said that you wished meat and drink?
61620I suppose you mean Don Carlos Pulido and his family?
61620I wonder where my brave_ caballeros_ are, those who rode with me?
61620If you will pardon me, is it not taking stern measures to have Don Carlos and his ladies thrown into the_ carcel_?
61620In what manner?
61620Indeed?
61620Indeed?
61620Is he supposed to be between this place and my_ hacienda_?
61620Is it my fate always to hear that name? 61620 Is it not a time of night for honest men to be abed?"
61620Is it not shameless? 61620 Is it possible that you did not win the battle?"
61620Is it that I startled you somewhat,_ señores_?
61620Is that all you have to say about it,_ caballero_?
61620Is the_ magistrado_ within?
61620Is this your manner of wooing?
61620It would be the manly part, would it not?
61620It-- it is scarcely proper, is it,_ señor_?
61620May not a soldier be a_ caballero_?
61620May the saints preserve me--"Where are the keys to the prison rooms?
61620Murder?
61620Music and the poets, eh? 61620 Must I play a guitar, and make pretty speeches?
61620My wife in that foul place? 61620 Not ready to forswear yourself, eh?"
61620Our families say who shall rule, what laws shall be termed just, do they not?
61620Perhaps you may feel that you owe me a small debt for certain things?
61620Prisoner?
61620Ride out here again to- night, when the chill wind blows in from the sea?
61620Señor Zorro, eh?
61620Shall it be that I never hear of anything except deeds of bloodshed and violence? 61620 Shall you agree to becoming my wife,_ señorita_?"
61620Shall you go,_ señor_?
61620Should you speak of it,_ señor_?
61620So I can not be trusted to appear at my place of trial? 61620 So that is the tale he told, eh?"
61620So the aged_ fray_ swindled you, eh? 61620 So you have felt his steel; eh, captain?
61620So, you fight women, do you,_ señor_? 61620 Still living in this turbulent world?"
61620Suppose he did,_ señor_? 61620 That is the only reason,_ señorita_?"
61620The charge?
61620The governor is here?
61620The highwayman? 61620 The man is worthy?"
61620The_ señorita_ suffers from the experience?
61620Then he is a dangerous man?
61620Then spies are giving him warnings?
61620Then the affair is between Don Diego Vega and myself?
61620Then why did they move?
61620There is some other man in your heart?
61620They caught him?
61620Think you there is one in this company who could fence with me now?
61620To be-- robbed of what, fat one? 61620 To see me about it?"
61620To what end?
61620To_ carcel_?
61620Understand?
61620Wanted a fresh horse, did he?
61620Was Don Diego Vega with them?
61620We d with you?
61620Well,_ señor_?
61620Well?
61620Were you deep in wine?
61620Were you not here? 61620 What about him?"
61620What can he do?
61620What can that be,_ señor_?
61620What do you here?
61620What do you imagine he left?
61620What do you mean to do?
61620What do you now, my sergeant?
61620What do you wish here?
61620What does it all mean? 61620 What does our daughter think?"
61620What has caused your decision, my daughter?
61620What have they done of treason?
61620What have we here? 61620 What have we here?"
61620What have you to say, my captain, regarding the events of last night?
61620What hope can we have?
61620What is all this noise?
61620What is it,_ señorita_?
61620What is the latest news?
61620What is the meaning of that speech?
61620What is this I hear?
61620What is this intelligence?
61620What is this we have here?
61620What is this, Don Diego, my friend? 61620 What is this?
61620What is this?
61620What is wanted?
61620What man do you love?
61620What means this outrage?
61620What other evidence?
61620What possibly could come of it but distress?
61620What said he?
61620What shall we do?
61620What think you?
61620What would you have me do?
61620What would you?
61620What, fool? 61620 What, in the name of the saints, have we here?"
61620What-- what is this?
61620What-- what would you?
61620What?
61620Where are my men?
61620Where got you this information?
61620Where is his excellency?
61620Which door?
61620Who are you, to speak to me of the proprieties?
61620Who gave you such orders?
61620Who is the man?
61620Who was the_ caballero_ who showed some mercy toward the_ fray_?
61620Why does he let himself be made the laughing- stock of the country? 61620 Why hold off?"
61620Why meditate?
61620Why not cease thought and take to action? 61620 Why should he torment me by visiting my house?"
61620Why should the man?
61620Why,_ caballero_, how can that be?
61620Will the_ señor_ please explain?
61620Will you not go,_ señor_?
61620Would not any worthy man want a chance like that? 61620 Would you have me drive over you?"
61620Would you like to see me lose my father''s estate,_ señorita_?
61620Yet you had some speech with him?
61620You accuse me of falsehood?
61620You are Don Carlos Pulido?
61620You are going to leave us at such an early hour,_ caballero_? 61620 You are here, are you not?
61620You are in the_ pueblo_ on business?
61620You are so eager?
61620You contemplate remaining long in Reina de Los Angeles, excellency?
61620You dare to enter an honest house?
61620You did not hear him ride past the_ hacienda_?
61620You did not see the fellow, Don Diego?
61620You do not think, then, that you ever could learn to love me,_ señorita_?
61620You expect their aid?
61620You go with escort, my friend?
61620You had him in view?
61620You have given consent?
61620You have heard of him, doubtless?
61620You have heard?
61620You have met my daughter?
61620You have ridden out from the_ pueblo_ a second time in one day?
61620You have something else to tell me?
61620You know the great Vega family, do you not,_ señor_? 61620 You say he has a score of men?"
61620You search my poor house?
61620You speak ill of him in his own house?
61620You speak treason?
61620You term me a pest,_ señor_?
61620You think it is necessary for me to do these things?
61620You think there is still hope?
61620You think you could conquer him,_ señor_?
61620You were pleased with the_ señorita_?
61620You will not forget?
61620You will not return to- night?
61620You will pardon me while I get it? 61620 You will take a solemn oath,_ fray_, that there is nothing alive behind those bales of hides?"
61620You will think of the matter?
61620You wish me to accompany you?
61620You would dare? 61620 You would dare?
61620You would lead us?
61620You would murder me?
61620You would not care to stand alone against us?
61620You would pay ransom rather than fight him,_ señor_?
61620You would put hands on a lady? 61620 You-- er-- found him?"
61620You-- that is-- your daughter is very beautiful, is she not, Don Carlos Pulido? 61620 You-- you are asking my permission to pay addresses to my fair daughter?"
61620You-- you stand behind them?
61620Your answer,_ señor_?
61620Your name? 61620 Your wife is Doña Catalina Pulido?"
61620_ Fray_, what is that in the corner of the room?
61620_ Señor?_"That is the object of my visit to- day,_ señor_.
61620_ Señor?_"That would excuse the offense in part, of course. 61620 ''Tis an evil night, indeed-- eh,_ señor_?
61620A laggard at love-- and in your presence?
61620Am I never to hear the last of that rogue?"
61620Am I to be beaten as well as robbed?
61620Am I to be taunted?"
61620And could I depart without thanking him for this meal?"
61620And how could we find him in the darkness or track him through the sheets of rain?
61620And how does it concern you, my pretty highwayman?"
61620And how was he to evade it?
61620And seventeen, is she not-- about?"
61620And so there is no chance for you to we d the girl?
61620And so you bring your family to the_ pueblo_ until the matter is at an end?"
61620And that the lovely_ señorita_ has seen fit to talk treasonably and dip her pretty hands into a conspiracy against the state?"
61620And then he lowered his voice and stepped nearer:"Has, by any chance, the man we call leader of our league of avengers, sent you a message this day?"
61620And then what?"
61620And what does he tell me then?
61620And what good fortune has come to my blade?
61620And what is it that he claims now?
61620And what is it?"
61620And what may be the reply to that?
61620And what was the outcome of the fighting?"
61620And what would life be without you?"
61620And when once we stand face to face--""You will tell me of it afterward?"
61620And why did you not send that secretary of yours for the honey,_ caballero_?
61620Are any of your men in the_ presidio_?"
61620Are those?"
61620Are you a Vega?"
61620Are you an owl, and is this daylight that you can not see as far as the end of your puny, crooked nose?
61620Are you finished playing at rogue?"
61620Are you not filled with wine now because you have been celebrating the punishment that godly man received for something he did not do?"
61620Are you of good blood?"
61620Are you without sense?"
61620As a matter of fact,_ comandante_, was it not Don Carlos Pulido himself who sent the native?
61620As it is--""Well,_ señor_?"
61620At least, you will keep me informed?
61620Been here?
61620But can a girl help it if her heart does not speak?
61620But what will happen when I die?
61620But you are not the betrothed of the young lady?"
61620Can it be,_ señor_, that you lack the courage I have heard you possess?"
61620Can not some one of you tell me the facts?
61620Can not we get the matter settled in some manner?
61620Can you not give me an answer?"
61620Can you not give me hope that I may win your heart and hand?"
61620Can you not give me your answer without all that foolishness?"
61620Can you not look upon me with kindness?
61620Can you not take the trouble to ride four miles on a smooth road to see the maid you would we d?
61620Can you not tell me?"
61620Can you wonder now that I had them placed in_ carcel_?
61620Captain Ramón cried,"you would taunt me?"
61620Captain, you have crossed blades with the rogue?"
61620Could I not purchase my release?"
61620Could I refuse him?
61620Could it be possible that Don Diego Vega was jealous?
61620Cross Pedro Gonzales, eh?
61620Curse of Capistrano, eh?
61620Did he not say as much, landlord?
61620Did he not say that Don Carlos had slipped him the information in whispers while he was carrying his fainting wife to her room?
61620Did not Don Carlos thus try to show his loyalty to the governor?"
61620Did we not make enough noise to awaken you?"
61620Did you not promise to tell me the story if you met this cutthroat?
61620Do I have to request it twice?
61620Do I wish to see fighting and bloodshed?"
61620Do you deny that Señor Zorro has been here?"
61620Do you fear to lose a few small coins?"
61620Do you think I did not know Don Diego was the man you meant when we spoke in your father''s_ patio_?
61620Does any dare doubt it?"
61620Does he know the country well hereabouts?"
61620Does not a man promise that in the ceremony?
61620Don Alejandro is well, I hope?"
61620Don Carlos and wife and daughter are here, are they not?"
61620Don Diego Vega?"
61620Foolish,_ señor_?
61620Friend of the oppressed, eh?
61620Had you the idea, young sir, that you were purchasing a horse or a bull?
61620Has he committed any further atrocities?"
61620Has he not blue blood and broad acres and great storehouses filled with goods?
61620Has he not the right, if such is his pleasure?
61620Have I not a blade at my side?
61620Have I not wealth?
61620Have him removed?
61620Have you been thinking,_ señorita_, on the object of my visit earlier in the day?"
61620Have you come to surrender your wicked sword,_ señor_?
61620Have you decided upon the day?"
61620Have you heard a horseman gallop past within a short time?"
61620Have you peered at the dead face beneath the mask?
61620Have you riches, fool?
61620Have you stopped to think of that, Don Diego Vega?"
61620He dashed the candles to the floor, ran through the kitchen--""The men took after him?"
61620He has not been in this neighborhood?"
61620He is my father''s friend--""And you would we d the rich Don Diego, eh, and straighten out your father''s affairs?
61620He left a placard at Santa Barbara recently stating as much, did he not?
61620How does it happen that you have not come from the house before?
61620How does it happen?"
61620How much was the reward?"
61620How shall I punish you?"
61620How was the outcome?"
61620How will it look, then, if you effect my escape?"
61620How would you suggest that I start?"
61620I at least may know that you are on his trail, and where you are riding, so I may be with you in spirit?"
61620I have permission to select my men?"
61620I may see the_ señorita_ now?"
61620I may trust you?"
61620I returned to the_ pueblo_; and what think you happened there this day?
61620In Don Diego''s house?
61620Is he guilty of any treason?
61620Is he ill?"
61620Is he not Don Diego Vega?
61620Is he not a laughing- stock because of his weakness?"
61620Is he not liberal?
61620Is it against your religion to take a step?"
61620Is it not a pretty jest?
61620Is it not possible for you to attend to everything else?
61620Is it not the part of a robed_ fray_ to receive what comes his way and give thanks for it, no matter how much it chokes him?
61620Is it not the truth that Don Carlos did his best to hold me at his_ hacienda_ until the soldiers arrived, that I might be captured?
61620Is it not,_ comandante_?
61620Is it that the Señorita Lolita lacks suitors?
61620Is it that you are afraid?"
61620Is not that a symptom?
61620Is not that enough?"
61620Is not that the truth?
61620Is the Vega family to die out because your blood is water?
61620Is there more evidence?"
61620Is there no justice in the land?
61620Is there no place in this country where a man may meditate and consult musicians and the poets?"
61620Is this the way you attend to duty?
61620Is this your idea of courtship and romance?
61620It is agreed between us?"
61620It is agreed?"
61620It is the sense of the league that something be done in this matter?
61620It is understood?"
61620It is, perhaps, some man that we all know?
61620May I ask the nature of your evidence?"
61620May I come again at the next_ siesta_ hour?"
61620May I express the hope that you will find him worthy and in time the man of your choice?"
61620Might not the captain suggest one, and at the same time strengthen his own position with the governor?
61620My captain, do you return this night to the_ presidio_?"
61620Of a jug of weak wine and a meal?
61620Or, can it be possible, on the other hand, that you believe I have an angelic countenance?"
61620Perhaps this Señor Zorro can tell us the reason for that?
61620Perhaps you heard a peculiar cry from my lips?
61620Refuses to become allied to the most powerful family in the country, with the best blood in the land?"
61620Refuses to we d with a Vega?
61620Send your servant to play a guitar beneath my window?
61620Señor Zorro, eh?
61620Señor Zorro, eh?
61620Señor Zorro, eh?
61620Señor Zorro, eh?
61620Señor Zorro, eh?"
61620Shall you leave the army, now that you have earned the reward, and purchase a_ hacienda_ and take a wife?"
61620Should you not be at the_ presidio_ instructing your soldiers?"
61620So Don Diego has my permission to pay his addresses, but if he fails to touch her heart--""Then I may try?"
61620So I ran you through from behind, eh?
61620So you ride toward Pala, my sergeant?"
61620Some day I shall meet him when he holds no pistol-- and then--""But how did he get away?"
61620Suppose somebody was to come and find us like this-- alone?"
61620Tell me-- have you seen this Señor Zorro to- night?"
61620That I pay you?
61620That is understood?
61620That was the time he held a pistol in your face and forced you to fight not too well?"
61620The_ comandante_, eh?
61620There are new soldiers on the trail of Señor Zorro?"
61620There is some shadow concerning the_ señorita_?"
61620Think you that I am some bronze native wench to give myself to the first man who asks?
61620Two of you against one?
61620Was ever girl so courted before?
61620Was there ever such a farce?
61620We go to the_ presidio_?"
61620We have no relatives, no friends--""Your daughter is Señorita Lolita Pulido?"
61620Were you in a fever, captain?"
61620What ails the man?
61620What are the particulars of the charges?"
61620What are you doing here, Captain Ramón?"
61620What are you to do with her, sergeant?"
61620What business had he with you, then?
61620What did this Señor Zorro wish?"
61620What does a man do when he is disappointed in love?
61620What does this Señor Zorro look like?
61620What has he done-- actually-- excellency?
61620What have we here?"
61620What if I tell you that the highwayman is being shielded and protected and fed by Don Carlos Pulido?"
61620What is the meaning of that?"
61620What manner of journey is this you take?"
61620What mean you?"
61620What more could either ask in the way of a fair arrangement?
61620What of him?"
61620What said this pretty highwayman?"
61620What shall I say to my father?"
61620What sort of blood is in your veins,_ señor_?"
61620What sort of blood is in your veins?
61620What would the fellow leave,_ fray_?
61620Where do you prefer to be touched-- the left side or the right?"
61620Where do you ride?"
61620Where is the highwayman''s dead body?"
61620Where resides your family?"
61620Where will it end?
61620Who said a native sounded the alarm?"
61620Why be wealthy and have servants, if a man can not send them on errands on such a stormy night?"
61620Why could she not be wooed as other_ señoritas_, in the proper fashion?
61620Why did he disregard the conventions?
61620Why did he not exhibit a certain measure of common sense?
61620Why did he not show that he was a young man bursting with health, instead of acting like an aged don with one foot in the grave?
61620Why did not the man act the_ caballero_?
61620Why have you stopped to make merry while Señor Zorro rides the highway?"
61620Why should I risk my own neck?"
61620Why was the cheering?"
61620Why was this man so bold in his words?
61620Will I change her mind if I play a guitar beneath her window, or hold her hand when I may, or put my hand over my heart and sigh?
61620Will it not be all right?
61620Will you allow it?"
61620Would I be a wise man to risk having my blood let out?"
61620Would a Vega break his word regarding such a thing?"
61620Would it be possible in these turbulent times for a man to listen to words of wisdom regarding music or the poets?"
61620Would not any_ caballero_ delight to serenade his love on a moonlight night?
61620Would the captain dare hint that perhaps the Vega family was wavering in its loyalty to the governor?
61620Would the politicians dare stand against you, scions of the most powerful families?
61620Would you avenge the matter?
61620Would you like to see the_ señorita_ now?"
61620Would you make my name a by- word, Captain Ramón?
61620Would you put blade at your side and ride abroad until you found him, and then punish him as he deserves?"
61620Would you wish a wife who did not love you?
61620You admit that,_ fray_?"
61620You admit, then, that you are in league with this pretty highwayman, that you shield him upon occasion?
61620You are going to face the fury of that beating storm?"
61620You deny now they are in league with you?"
61620You have entered the inn, have you not?
61620You have not seen a masked fiend who goes by the name of Señor Zorro?"
61620You have nothing you wish to hide?"
61620You here?"
61620You know the place?
61620You make mock of me,_ caballero_?"
61620You meant what you said about your fortune?"
61620You punish me?
61620You really believe all this?"
61620You see?"
61620You seek adventure?
61620You understand now?"
61620You will tell me how he escapes if he dodges you?
61620You would descend to torture?"
61620You would not bother me, Señor Zorro?
61620You would place him where they keep insubordinate natives and common felons?"
61620You would remove her from her house?"
61620You would retire and continue to have your men surround the house?
61620You would send men about my ears, eh?
61620You would so affront a_ fray_?
61620You would throw a_ caballero_ into the filthy jail?
61620You would watch for an opportunity, and then seize me?"
61620You would whip an honest merchant because of a thieving_ fray_?"
61620Your soldiers are after the rogue?"
61620_ Buenas noches, señorita!_ I suppose I should-- er-- kiss your hand?"
61620_ Si?_ I shall be waiting."
43925A dollar?
43925Ah?
43925All is preparing for action,"You are sure?
43925All that is very good, but what are we going to do now?
43925Am I in the way?
43925An important secret?
43925And Natah Otann?
43925And my cattle?
43925And my companions?
43925And my comrade?
43925And my vengeance?
43925And now what are we going to do?
43925And now, where are you going to take us, if you please?
43925And now?
43925And suppose we did not accept?
43925And supposing that I refuse?
43925And they are preparing to break the peace?
43925And what are those suspicions, sir?
43925And what are you going to do?
43925And what is the animal we are about to follow?
43925And what shall I do now?
43925And who is this person in whom so great a Chief as my brother places confidence?
43925And who was the person who selected such an important moment to pay you a visit?
43925And why so, if you please?
43925And you?
43925And you?
43925And you?
43925And your enemies,he said, after a moment''s delay,"do you know them, have you learned their names?"
43925Answer me-- do you not feel the cold steel piercing your flesh?
43925Answer, why? 43925 Are all precautions taken?"
43925Are the fellows afraid of an attack?
43925Are we going to camp, then?
43925Are we not four?
43925Are you afraid to explain yourself clearly on that head?
43925Are you going, my lord, in this state among those heretics?
43925Are you grateful for what the Count has done for you?
43925Are you hungry? 43925 Are you not Major Melville?"
43925Are you not my guests?
43925Are you off already?
43925Are you speaking seriously?
43925Are you sure of it?
43925As you said yourself, what can four men do against a legion of demons like those who menace us? 43925 At any risk?"
43925At what place are the cattle my brothers carried off from the Long Knives?
43925Because I am really ignorant of it,he replied;"how should I know it?"
43925Because I pity your age and your grey hair,"Pity? 43925 Bright- eye?"
43925But are you not a chief?
43925But do you know who that girl is?
43925But he has travelled; he has been in white society; he has been in the interior of the United States?
43925But how did he join the tribe?
43925But how do you know the fact?
43925But she-- what did she do?
43925But where did he learn all he knows?
43925But who on earth can she be?
43925But who will guarantee your good faith?
43925But you do not know him then?
43925By what right could I have spoken?
43925Can a warrior, however brave he may be, hold his ground against four hundred?
43925Can the Christians be right?
43925Can you doubt it?
43925Come on then; but where are they?
43925Come, father, do you really believe that?
43925Come, how long have you been so sad?
43925Dare I believe in these protestations? 43925 Diana,"she asked her,"have you nothing to say to me?"
43925Did I not myself propose to Glass- eye to procure them a true chase?
43925Did I not tell you I wished to help you?
43925Did you ever doubt it?
43925Did you really make such a promise as that, child?
43925Do three Palefaces frighten you? 43925 Do you believe so?"
43925Do you believe that I fear death?
43925Do you believe, then, that I am deceiving you?
43925Do you doubt it?
43925Do you feel any malice against him?
43925Do you know even whether he be free? 43925 Do you know for certain that we shall be attacked this night?"
43925Do you know what this wretch would do with the daughter of the man he murdered, whom he flayed alive before my eyes?
43925Do you not know it, my poor child?
43925Do you not know?
43925Do you recognize me, John Black?
43925Do you see anything, Will--- whereabouts?
43925Do you think I have nothing to fear from the Indians?
43925Do you think so?
43925Do you think so?
43925Does this country suit my brother then?
43925Does this place suit the hunter?
43925Eh, then, this has been prepared a long time?
43925Eh?
43925Fire!--what stops you?
43925Fire- water is good for Indian squaws,she said,"what good would it do me to drink it?
43925For my sister, Prairie- Flower, I suppose; has she not come to ask hospitality of her Pale brothers?
43925For what end, since I know them? 43925 For what good at this moment?"
43925For what good? 43925 For what good?"
43925For what good?
43925For what purpose?
43925For what?
43925Good,the Canadian remarked;"did Red Wolf then fear treachery from his friend, that he brought so large a body of warriors with him?"
43925Good,the chief said;"then my brother will command the second band?"
43925Good- bye, Mr. Edward; will you not give me a shake of the hand before we part, not knowing whether we shall ever meet again?
43925Good: does my brother speak the truth? 43925 Good: then I can reckon on you?"
43925Good; and the man from whom you regret being separated-- he who causes your present sorrow and suffering, is--?
43925Good; and what is your personal opinion?
43925Good; and when will you do it, my good girl?
43925Good; then you have come to save her?
43925Has any chief any observation to offer on the accusation which has just been brought?
43925Has not the Sachem guessed it?
43925Has the Red Wolf succeeded in obtaining the medicine which Prairie- Flower wears round her neck?
43925Has the narrative of your sufferings any connexion with the conspiracy you are about to reveal to me?
43925Have the white men the eyes of the eagle and the feet of the gazelle, to find again their trail lost in the desert?
43925Have you any objection?
43925Have you come here to insult me?
43925Have you forgotten anything?
43925How can I buy the land when I possess nothing?
43925How can we hope to succeed, if you insist on remaining here?
43925How can you say that, when I am their obstinate enemy, and have been fighting them for the last forty years?
43925How do you know it, Bright- eye?
43925How do you know it?
43925How else should I go? 43925 How is it that you are here?"
43925How many men have you?
43925How men? 43925 How should I know it?
43925How so, father?
43925How so?
43925How so?
43925How, by what right-- Are you not her mother?
43925Hum I for what object?
43925I fear it, but what can I do?
43925I have come to see you--"Why?
43925I heard you perfectly well, chief,the Canadian said, with a smile;"and I repeat again, do you believe it?"
43925I know not,he replied dreamily"but I also ask myself what interest you have in defending me?"
43925I must, my good fellow; have I not pledged my word?
43925I only see the two Pale hunters and my brother-- for whom is the last bed?
43925I recognized it; for it reminds me of a very dear person,he said, with a suppressed sigh;"but how is it in your hands?"
43925I was present,the She- wolf said, coldly,"You were present?
43925I will explain myself,the latter said;"my brother interests himself in this family, I believe?"
43925I will tell you; you have doubtless heard of an American squatter, who settled hardly a week back about three or four leagues from you?
43925I, mother?
43925I? 43925 I?"
43925I?
43925In case of need, what would you do for him?
43925Is Major Melville in the fort at this moment?
43925Is it not so? 43925 Is it not?
43925Is it so?
43925Is my brother deaf?
43925Is my brother ready?
43925Is my lord calling me?
43925Is not that better for the conversation which we wish to have with them?
43925Is not that enough? 43925 Is she alone?"
43925Is that all?
43925Is that all?
43925Is that all?
43925Is that not truly hideous?
43925Is that really all?
43925Is that true?
43925Is that your last word?
43925Is the garrison complete?
43925Is the''Virgin of the dark hours''wandering about the village? 43925 Is this an order you give us, sir?"
43925Is this another trap you are laying for us?
43925Is what you promise really true, young girl?
43925Is what you say quite true, my father?
43925It is equally impossible, I suppose, for you to tell me of the nature of the danger that menaces us?
43925It is true,he said,"the hour has arrived, you mean?"
43925It is--?
43925It was I, the Red Wolf: does my mother still doubt?
43925Long ago?
43925May Heaven grant it, my boy; but do you hear nothing?
43925Me? 43925 Most gladly, for are we not brothers?"
43925Mother,she replied, in a firm voice,"did I not tell you that I should forget him?"
43925My brother hears nothing?
43925My brother is welcome among his Paleface brothers,Bright- eye said;"does he come to sit at the council fire, and smoke the calumet in my wigwam?"
43925My son has quite understood?
43925Natah Otann?
43925No; the Major will give you a detachment of soldiers, with whom you will join us at Black''s clearing: can you find your way there again?
43925None; since you place the matter on that footing, what do I care whether your wealth is plundered, your wife, your daughter, and yourself scalped? 43925 Nonsense, sir,"the republican said, with a grin"How can you talk to us of honour and nobility?
43925Nonsense,he said, with a shrug of his shoulders;"do you take us for fools?
43925Nonsense,the Count said, shrugging his shoulders,"can these scamps intend to bar the way?"
43925Nothing-- and you?
43925Now, I presume, you have nothing to add? 43925 Of whom else can I speak to my father, save the_ Lying She- wolf of the Prairies?_?"
43925Of whom else can I speak to my father, save the_ Lying She- wolf of the Prairies?_?
43925Oh why, my father, did you let me taste the bitter fruit of that accursed civilization, which was not made for me? 43925 Oh, oh, always your old means, as it seems, but I will be patient: come, what is it you expect from me?"
43925Oh, sir,the Chief said, with a smile of mockery,"do you speak of legality to a poor Indian?
43925Oh, what is the use of explaining?--will what I say stop you? 43925 On what terms?"
43925Only think of that,the hunter said, ironically;"and when ought we to start?"
43925Or to pledge it again,the Canadian added, with a smile;"what do we risk by doing so?"
43925Prairie- Flower here at this hour?
43925Prairie- Flower,he asked her once again,"do you no longer love me?"
43925Prairie- Flower,he said at length,"you are ignorant why I suffer when I am by your side?"
43925Prairie- Flower,he said to her, softly,"do you no longer love me now that I am free?"
43925Prudence,Bright- eye interposed;"are you a friend, Redskin?"
43925Seek a refuge?--where find help in these immense solitudes?
43925Shall I be permitted to save him?
43925Since the day after our arrival here, is it not?
43925So it is settled?
43925So you are waiting for her?
43925So,the Count asked,"you have left the clearings with the intention of never returning?"
43925Stay, stay,the hunter said, with surprise,"you are welcome, girl; what do you want here?"
43925Stay,William observed,"do you think, father, that it is really necessary to take all that trouble?
43925Stay,he said, raising his hand, and addressing the emigrant;"you wish your child to live?"
43925Still you spoke of his reputation-- is that bad?
43925Suppose I do understand it?
43925Suppose, old hunter,Ivon said,"you were to do something?"
43925Take care,she said to him, with a certain emphasis,"let not doubt invade your mind; what interest should I have in deceiving you?"
43925Take this ring; you know how to use a paddle, I suppose?
43925That is strange,the Count muttered;"what can there be in common between him and this woman?"
43925That is the man; well, his clearing will naturally serve you as an advanced post?
43925That is true,John Black said,"but what do you conclude from that?"
43925That is true,he answered;"but what is to be done?"
43925That is true; but are you sure we have not lost our way?
43925That is your last word, then?
43925The Chief is right,Bright- eye said, with a significant look at the Count;"why any obstinacy?
43925The Indians?
43925The Mississippi really runs from that lake?
43925The destruction of the whites?
43925The owl, I suppose?
43925The pale hunter is a warrior,he said;"why does he try to hide himself like the water rat?"
43925The pale man is as curious as an old squaw,she said, with an accent of ill- humour;"why does he wish to know Prairie- Flower''s secret?
43925Then the Palefaces will go and hunt with their red friends?
43925Then you accept my conditions?
43925Then you are devoted to him?
43925Then you are taking a precaution?
43925Then you did not forget the meeting I arranged with you? 43925 Then you have some suspicions about your Red friend?"
43925Then,he said,"you can not reveal to me the reason that forces us to depart?"
43925They are?
43925Things are not yet sufficiently advanced, I think, for me----"Not to be able to withdraw-- you mean?
43925Unhappy girl,Margaret yelled,"what have you done?"
43925Unload the wagon,the old lady remarked,"why so?
43925Very good: do you require the whole of the garrison for the defence of the fort?
43925Very good; but as you did not go to their camp, how were you able to give me such precise information about them and their number?
43925Very good; but where shall I bring it to you?
43925Very well; and would there be any indiscretion in asking you the name of the man to whom I bear so wonderful a likeness?
43925Was it necessary to come so far to find a suitable farm?
43925We obey the Chief,he added, aloud; then he added in a whisper,--"Are you mad, Mr. Edward?
43925We shall soon meet again, I presume, noble Count?
43925Well, Bright- eye, any news?
43925Well, my love,his wife asked him,"why this halt, and this long discussion?
43925Well, then, shall I wait for you?
43925Well, what has become of the unhappy child? 43925 Well, yes; what then?"
43925Well,Natah Otann remarked,"what do you find strange in that?
43925Well,Sparrowhawk said to his companion, after they had been adopted according to all the Indian rites,"what does my father think?
43925Well,he asked the unknown,"what does my mother say?"
43925Well,the Chief asked, with slight irony,"do you understand me at last?
43925Well,the Count asked him,"what do you think of it all, Ivon?"
43925Well,the Count said,"did you not hear me, my friend?"
43925Well,the Indian asked, after a moment,"has my brother seen?"
43925Well-- do you see nothing?
43925Well?
43925Well?
43925Well?
43925Well?
43925Well?
43925What am I saying? 43925 What can I do for you?"
43925What can I say, if my mother does not first question me?
43925What can four rifles, however good they may be, do against two or three hundred tigers thirsting for blood, like those you will have to fight? 43925 What can we do, my good friend?"
43925What did you do then?
43925What do I care for that? 43925 What do I care for the fellow?"
43925What do I care for the most atrocious torture, so long as my child lives?
43925What do I care?
43925What do you intend doing?
43925What do you mean, my friend?
43925What do you mean, sir?
43925What do you mean, sir?
43925What do you mean? 43925 What do you mean?"
43925What do you mean?
43925What do you think of that?
43925What do you want of me?
43925What do you want to arrive at, chief?
43925What do you want with me?
43925What do you want, my lord?
43925What do you want?
43925What do you want?
43925What does my brother mean?
43925What does my brother mean?
43925What does she say?
43925What does that concern you?
43925What does that, question mean?
43925What does the Paleface want?
43925What fort and what garrison are you talking of, my good woman? 43925 What good is it to him?
43925What good of that question?
43925What has happened?
43925What have I to fear from him?
43925What have you done, my father?
43925What ill temper do you mean?
43925What is it you want?
43925What is it, my prudent friend?
43925What is it? 43925 What is it?"
43925What is it?
43925What is it?
43925What is it?
43925What is it?
43925What is my sister doing here?
43925What is that I see down there?
43925What is that?
43925What is the matter? 43925 What is the matter?"
43925What is the matter?
43925What is the meaning of this?
43925What is the name they gave me, Bright- eye? 43925 What is the use of going any farther?"
43925What is there new?
43925What is this?
43925What is to be done with such men?
43925What is to be done-- how to warn them?
43925What is to be done?
43925What is to be done?
43925What makes you think so?
43925What matter, if we die like men?
43925What matters,the Red Wolf said,"so long as we conquer our enemies?"
43925What mean these words, girl? 43925 What more?"
43925What need of that precaution? 43925 What need to repeat it, as you do not understand Latin?"
43925What news have you?
43925What now?
43925What on earth are you about?
43925What shall I do then?
43925What shall I do with the canoe?
43925What shall I see and hear?
43925What shall we do with it?
43925What traces do you allude to?
43925What we are going to do? 43925 What will you do with them?"
43925What would you have, Bright- eye?
43925What''s that?
43925What''s the matter then?
43925What''s up now?
43925What, again?
43925What, my good creature, permit it? 43925 What, so soon, in this frightful weather?"
43925What, the ostrich?
43925What, you do not understand that we must avenge ourselves?
43925What?
43925What?
43925What?
43925What?
43925What?
43925What?
43925What?
43925What?
43925When do you intend to attack the emigrants?
43925When must I start?
43925When will the war signal be given?
43925Where are you going?
43925Where can the Palefaces go to find land that belongs to nobody?
43925Where to?
43925Where was the meeting place?
43925Which is?
43925Which means--?
43925Which means?
43925Which of you,he said haughtily,"would dare to contend with me?"
43925Who I am?
43925Who are these Indians? 43925 Who are you talking about?"
43925Who are you, sir?
43925Who are you?
43925Who are your enemies?
43925Who can this man be?
43925Who is this Lying She- wolf of the Prairies, who inspires such horror in these men?
43925Who knows? 43925 Who on earth are you?"
43925Who says so?
43925Who''s that?
43925Who''s there?
43925Whom are you afraid for, then?
43925Why I, rather than anyone else?
43925Why allow the Palefaces thus to wander about the village?
43925Why could he not stop a few minutes longer? 43925 Why did you not kill the She- wolf of the Prairies?"
43925Why disturb yourself, since I have told you?
43925Why four beds for three persons?
43925Why have we stopped, chief?
43925Why have you left your hiding place, in spite of the warnings given you?
43925Why is my brother astonished?
43925Why not, chief?
43925Why not, my dear lady, if it suits me, and the chief accepts my offer?
43925Why not? 43925 Why not?
43925Why not?
43925Why not?
43925Why not?
43925Why shall we not go on?
43925Why should I be angry with you?
43925Why should I deny it? 43925 Why should I deny it?
43925Why should it not be so?
43925Why so much politeness?
43925Why so, boy?
43925Why so, father?
43925Why so, my friend?
43925Why so?
43925Why so?
43925Why speak to me thus?
43925Why stop?
43925Why?
43925Why?
43925Why?
43925Will you come to my house? 43925 Will you do me a kindness?
43925Will you explain-- yes, or no?
43925Would an enemy come like this?
43925Would you feel inclined to settle here, then?
43925Wretched fellow,he shouted,"what have you done?"
43925Yes,White Buffalo repeated, mechanically,"tomorrow you will be master of the fort, but will you manage to keep it?
43925Yes; well, what then?
43925Yes; what you say, William, is correct, the Redskins have disappeared; but shall I tell you my real thoughts? 43925 Yet--""Yet,"Bright- eye quickly interrupted him,"he speaks English, French and Spanish, as well as yourself, and perhaps better than I do, eh?
43925You appear to take an interest in him?
43925You are a man of heart: now speak, I am listening to you: and, in the first place, will you have a draught of firewater?
43925You are devoted to me, chief?
43925You are devoted to your master?
43925You are going alone, then?
43925You are mistaken; while you were engaged in collecting your partisans, and preparing to take up arms, do you fancy I remained inactive?
43925You are quite certain, poor child, that such is the feeling you experience for that man?
43925You are suffering?
43925You believe yourself to be among enemies, then?
43925You demand it?
43925You desire a duel then?
43925You excite my curiosity to the highest degree,the Count said;"no one, I suppose, could give me any information about this woman?"
43925You hate him too?
43925You have a way?
43925You have seen your daughter; you have talked with her?
43925You have, doubtless, turned her from this monstrous love?
43925You here?
43925You know her then?
43925You know it?
43925You promise it me?
43925You see I am wounded?
43925You swear it?
43925You understand, I suppose, that we four can not save your master?
43925You will avenge yourself, I think?
43925You will explain your conduct, I presume?
43925You will not do so, I trust, Sir?
43925You will watch,the latter said;"but do you know the way to do it?"
43925You wish it?
43925You?
43925You?
43925Your sorrow began at the moment when the strangers, who so nobly aided us, took their leave?
43925_ Ochtl?_he said, with an emotion he could not master.
43925A certain Bright- eye, I think, eh?"
43925And the chief who commanded the Redskins-- does my mother know him?"
43925And what may it be?"
43925And what would you do to keep me, if I did not think proper?"
43925And who is bringing them back?"
43925And you, sir?
43925Are not the atrocious tortures you inflict on us enough?"
43925Are they not the guests of Natah Otann?"
43925Are they ripe for liberty?
43925Are we not his children?"
43925Are you a man of resolution?"
43925Are you ready to execute my orders?"
43925Are you weary of life?
43925As he is dead, why did not the Blackbird take the totem in his hand in his place?"
43925Black said, with a gesture of disgust;"do these Pagans fancy we are like themselves?
43925Bright- eye answered, with that magnificent coolness which never deserted him,"do you fancy that I am already dead?"
43925Bright- eye asked him,"have you obtained what you wanted from that man?"
43925Bright- eye said, reproachfully;"how can you jest so?"
43925Bright- eye said, with astonishment;"you mean to remain here, and serve their diabolical jugglery?"
43925Bright- eye suddenly shouted, aroused by this short altercation,"what''s the matter there, what have you caught, Ivon?"
43925But may I not be permitted to know the names of the traitors?"
43925But the old man shook his head sorrowfully, and continued:--"Child, how will you keep your promise?
43925But was it a woman?
43925But what is the meaning of it?
43925But,"she added, suddenly breaking off,"what need of this useless discussion between us, brother?
43925By what name shall I present my father to the men from whom we may ask asylum and protection?"
43925By what right can I quarrel with what has happened?
43925By what right do you reproach us with a brutalization and barbarism, produced by our persecutors and not by ourselves?"
43925Can I put faith in these promises?"
43925Come, Diana, answer, would you consent?"
43925Come, is that really all?
43925Did he not announce, long ago, Glass- eye''s arrival among us?"
43925Did he not predict that Glass- eye would place himself at the head of the Redskin warriors, and deliver them from the Palefaces of the East?"
43925Do we recognize your foolish caste distinctions here?
43925Do you believe that all smoke is alike?"
43925Do you fancy that I would go out of my way to interrogate my friend as to his intentions?
43925Do you hear them?
43925Do you imagine that material interests have a great weight with me?
43925Do you know how many hours you still have to live?"
43925Do you know this man?"
43925Do you not see it is Red Wolf?"
43925Do you still fancy me in your power?"
43925Do you suppose that the Indians would have attacked us by such a moonlight as this?
43925Do you think they are numerous?"
43925Do you understand me now?"
43925Does banishment also exist among your wandering tribes?
43925Does he fancy, I wonder, that I shall act as his accomplice?
43925Does she still live?
43925Does that displease you?"
43925Does that suit you?
43925Edward?"
43925For what has this villain taken me?
43925Has any accident occurred?"
43925Has one of the young warriors of our tribe known how to touch your heart, and fill it with love?"
43925Have I come so far to dabble in politics?"
43925Have I not in my heart a sacred feeling, which fills it, and before which every other must be extinguished?
43925Have I said well, powerful men?"
43925Have I said well, powerful men?"
43925Have I said well, powerful men?"
43925Have the dead come from the tomb?
43925Have we adopted your laws and absurd prejudices?"
43925Have you any news of her?
43925Have you seen her again?"
43925Have you, born but yesterday, any right to try and explain my actions?
43925Hence, I am perfectly calm on my own account, and were there only myself--""Well?"
43925How convince them to march together without jealousy?
43925How many days''provisions have you here?"
43925I have spoken; what do my sons think?"
43925I know that she loves you, I entrust her to you frankly and honestly; I have full faith in your honour-- will you give to her protection?
43925I know their tactics, their resources: to utterly destroy them, what do we need, my well- beloved brothers?
43925I should not like, sir--""Eh?"
43925I suppose you mean what are you going to do?"
43925I, a secret from you, mother?
43925In the first place, is he an Indian?"
43925In which hut have you lodged them?"
43925Is he happy?"
43925Is not all this true?"
43925Is she a Genius hostile to the Blackfeet?
43925Is she white or red, American or Spanish?"
43925Is that a bargain?"
43925Is that the way you comprehend the law of nations?
43925Is that your final word?"
43925Is, then, love a suffering?"
43925Ivon said;"you, old hunter, why so?"
43925John Black continued,"or is it thirst that troubles you?
43925My brother loves Glass- eye?"
43925Natah Otann answered,"did my brother see the She- wolf?"
43925Natah Otann exclaimed, with grief,"what is he also dead?"
43925Natah Otann reflected for a few moments, and then turned to Bright- eye:--"My brother knows the ostriches?"
43925Natah Otann said, in French, saluting the young man with studied politeness,"have you scented any wild beast in the neighbourhood?"
43925Natah Otann said, with a grin,"what does my brother think at present?"
43925Of what woman is my sister speaking?"
43925Oh, how could you suppose such a thing?"
43925Presently, he raised his head, and, fixing his cunning grey eye on the girl, he asked her distinctly,--"You love him, then?"
43925Reply, will you die as slaves, or live free?"
43925Suddenly her tears ceased, she looked fixedly at the She- wolf, and said, in a harsh voice--"How do you know all this?
43925That is agreed?"
43925The chief continued--"Will no one inform us of what has happened-- why my chosen warriors are flying like scattered antelopes-- where is Long Horn?"
43925The desert is large; what harm can those poor devils do you?"
43925The poor lady wiped away a tear; Diana rose quickly, and throwing her arms tenderly round her mother--"A secret?
43925The two best chiefs of the nation have fallen, but the Red Wolf still remained-- why did he not avenge his brothers?"
43925This spot is ill- omened: do you not know it?
43925To arrive at my object, what do I care, do you think, whether I walk over ruins or wade through blood?
43925To what nation do your enemies belong?"
43925Was it not for that you summoned me here?"
43925Was it to give me this news that Prairie- Flower came to me?"
43925Well, what happened then?"
43925Well?"
43925What can I do to help you?"
43925What can be more noble or grander than the deliverance and regeneration of a people?"
43925What can five rifles effect against that legion of demons?"
43925What can four men, in spite of all their courage, effect against such a considerable number of enemies?
43925What can render you so gloomy?
43925What do you want?"
43925What does he intend to do?"
43925What does my brother desire?"
43925What is the mysterious influence that has constantly predicted them against us?"
43925What is there he does not know?"
43925What on earth does she want here?"
43925What terrible misfortune is menacing us then?"
43925What was resolved?"
43925When Red Wolf had ceased speaking, she reflected for a few moments; then raising her head, asked--"Where is the Paleface?"
43925Where on earth do they come from?
43925White Buffalo replied, with a shrug of his shoulders,"are you ignorant that a woman lurks behind every great event?
43925Who can blame me?"
43925Who can stop them?
43925Who has told you that he is not married?
43925Who knows how it will end?
43925Who knows the chances luck has in store for us during the accursed expedition?"
43925Who knows, indeed, whether white men were not the instigators of last night''s attack?"
43925Who says that Glass- eye and Bright- eye will allow their throats to be cut like tamed gazelles?"
43925Who will respond for their safety?"
43925Why does not the hunter speak his language to him?"
43925Why has not so great a warrior a companion?"
43925Why have your lessons made of me a man differing from those who surround me, and with whom I am compelled to live and die?"
43925Why then is Red Wolf only an inferior chief, instead of leading his men to battle as his father did?"
43925Why thus torture the man who acted as father to the abandoned child?
43925Why, then, have you come here?
43925Why?"
43925Will my brother go alone among the white men?"
43925Will my sons follow the advice of an experienced chief?"
43925Will these peculiar men thoroughly comprehend me?
43925Will they be able to read, in my heart, all the love and adoration I feel for them?
43925Will you accompany me, Ivon?"
43925Will you eat?"
43925Will you have them at once?"
43925Will you hear it?"
43925Would you be kind enough to inform me?"
43925Would you hesitate, now you are on the point of success?
43925Would you not feel inclined to accompany us, as well as Diana, and take a look at your new domain?"
43925You are now prepared to listen to me, I fancy?"
43925You are young, intelligent, powerful, the first of your nation: what do you want for happiness?
43925You hear me?"
43925You know how necessary it is for the success of our plans that we should seize this man?"
43925You resisted; you would hear nothing; you went Headlong into intrigues and plots of every description-- is it not so?"
43925You witnessed this horrible scene?"
43925You, also, fancy me mad, eh?
43925You, like myself, are abandoned by those of your race and blood, and condemned to remain alone-- alone for ever?"
43925and afterwards?"
43925and now have you finished?"
43925and when we have done that, we shall have nought more to fear?"
43925are we not under the protection of the Indians, whose guests we are?"
43925can I do it?"
43925did Red Wolf ever keep a promise?"
43925do you really entertain this irreconcilable hatred to each other?
43925for what purpose does Glass- eye traverse the prairie?
43925has any misfortune happened to him?"
43925has he really forgotten?"
43925have I completely unmasked you?
43925have I neighbours?"
43925have you not learned to know your neighbours since you have been here?"
43925have you seen her again?"
43925he asked;"have you any cause of complaint against me?"
43925he at length asked,"Why do you laugh so?"
43925he at length murmured,"have I at last met with a true woman?"
43925he began,"I think you said it was past twelve?"
43925he exclaimed, with agitation,"you love?
43925he exclaimed, with energy, as he struck the woodwork of the sofa with his fist,"could you doubt me, Margaret?"
43925he exclaimed,"that is impossible, Chief--""Because?"
43925he muttered, when done;"do angels really exist?"
43925he said a minute after,"what is the meaning of this?"
43925he said in surprise, and looking scrutinizingly at her,"Can it be one of the Palefaces who are Natah Otann''s guests?"
43925he said, carelessly;"I see that all the preparations are made, and conscientiously so, but what does that prove?
43925he said,"the sachem of the Piékanns is welcome: does he come as a friend or an enemy?"
43925he said;"of whom is my brother speaking?"
43925he was a brave man, do you know?"
43925is it far?"
43925it is a good idea,"Bright- eye muttered:"and what are you going to do?"
43925it is a matter of supreme indifference to me; but must the affair be only regarded from that side?
43925perhaps they have not suffered enough yet?
43925she exclaimed, in a piercing voice,"you, Prairie- Flower, intercede for this man?"
43925the Canadian said, casting a suspicious glance at the other,"and what may the danger be?"
43925the Count exclaimed, with a start of surprise,"what is that you say?"
43925the Count shouted; and turning to Natah Otann, said,--"Will you let this brave soldier be assassinated in cold blood?"
43925the Count went on, still sarcastically,"what have I to do in all this?"
43925the Indian exclaimed, in surprise,"has my father no nation?"
43925the Indian said, coldly,"and what is it so strange you see around you?
43925the Indian said, with a cunning smile:"is my brother so satisfied as he says at my presence?"
43925the White Buffalo said,"what is happening then?"
43925the chief asked, sternly;"why are my sons running away thus?
43925the chief muttered aside,"can she have suddenly recognized a being of that accursed race to which she belongs?"
43925the hunter said,"and who will watch over my companions during my absence?
43925the latter said,"did you fancy, pray, that I had deserted you?"
43925the man went on;"well, you are going on at a fine rate; that''s nothing, eh?
43925the stranger ejaculated, fancying he had misunderstood him,"Is it possible?
43925the young man said, not at all sorry to obtain some information about the man who perplexed him so greatly;"what reputation has he then?"
43925there you are,"he said,"Well, how did you like that?"
43925up already?"
43925what are you telling me now?"
43925what do you want of us?"
43925what is going to happen?"
43925what then?"
43925what use are such suspicions, my friend?
43925what will the White Buffalo say when he hears that?
43925where will you find Motecuhzoma?"
43925why do you fancy I am angry with you or your nation?
43925why so, pray, if you remain?"
43925you are all afraid to fight when it is almost your trade?
43925you doubt?"
43925you have not seen them?"
5233''We''? 5233 A proposal?
5233A s''prise?
5233A volunteer?
5233Ai n''t that just my blamed luck?
5233Ai n''t that just my luck?
5233Ai n''t that my luck? 5233 Ai n''t that my luck?"
5233All quitting? 5233 Already?
5233Always?
5233An''why should n''t they be, when you set''em both with your own hands, Misther O''Neil? 5233 And his railroad?"
5233And if they refuse?
5233And they said nothing?
5233And what are we going to do in the mean time?
5233And what is your part of the work?
5233And why ca n''t you?
5233And you bought this for me after you had seen that fiendish story over my signature?
5233And you?
5233Any holes?
5233Any news from Omar Khayyam?
5233Any people?
5233Anybody hurt?
5233Apple- man?
5233Appleton? 5233 Are YOU going to pay''em?"
5233Are n''t we drawing rather fine distinctions?
5233Are n''t we the darnedest fools, Sis? 5233 Are n''t you coming with us?"
5233Are we going to drown?
5233Are you a married man?
5233Are you going to build one in Alaska?
5233Are you going to stand for this?
5233Are you hurt, son?
5233Are you in any better condition? 5233 Are you sure?"
5233Are you very cold?
5233Armed?
5233But it wo n''t hurt the poor fellow, will it?
5233But suppose they should?
5233But where are my blue- prints?
5233But why are you idle now? 5233 But-- I thought you came from Hope?"
5233By the way, how do you happen to be here? 5233 Ca n''t I go, too?"
5233Ca n''t I read the manuscript?
5233Ca n''t we do something?
5233Ca n''t we make a raft?
5233Ca n''t you meet the raise?
5233Can we pay them?
5233Can you hold out for a minute, Murray?
5233Can you walk?
5233Cold, is n''t it?
5233Come back?
5233Could n''t you see?
5233D''you mean I''ve been sent for, from heaven?
5233Did he-- curse you?
5233Did n''t the Interstate Commerce Commission get wise?
5233Did you bring me this because of what I did?
5233Did you ever see anything like his wrinkles? 5233 Did you go to Hope?"
5233Did you invite her to return this summer?
5233Did you read that article?
5233Did you tell her the inside-- the story of his agreement with the steamboat people?
5233Did you think I spied on you?
5233Did you think we could stay behind? 5233 Did you?"
5233Do n''t you see he''s merely paying his debt?
5233Do n''t you see? 5233 Do n''t you think Natalie has something to say?
5233Do n''t you think it can be done?
5233Do n''t you understand that I''m entitled to a right- of- way through here under the law of common user?
5233Do n''t you understand? 5233 Do you have pains in your chest?"
5233Do you know the Kyak country?
5233Do you mean that you refuse to allow me to run my right- of- way along that hillside? 5233 Do you mean to obey?"
5233Do you need a cook and a dishwasher?
5233Do you really mean that all those men would give up their positions and come to you if you sent for them?
5233Do you think for a minute that Mrs. Brennan will understand why I did n''t hop out of the lifeboat and give you my place? 5233 Do you think we''ll have a fight?"
5233Does he blame me?
5233Does it affect your plans?
5233Does n''t it mean anything to you?
5233Does n''t she know where you are?
5233Does she love you?
5233Does that mean that Gordon abandons his Hope route?
5233Does your mother know?
5233Eh? 5233 Eh?"
5233Even to the coal- fields?
5233Family?
5233For me?
5233Friend? 5233 Funny how a kid like you can scare a bunch of hard- headed bankers, ai n''t it?"
5233Goodness, Danny,she said,"are you as badly hurt as all that?"
5233Gordon?
5233Guess what I''m going to do with it?
5233Guess who it''s for?
5233Harness too, eh?
5233Has it gone as far as that?
5233Has n''t he made any provision for them?
5233Has n''t this public clamor had something to do with your determination?
5233Have I no authority?
5233Have n''t you finished your tiresome discussions?
5233Have n''t you read the papers?
5233Have you ever seen it blow here?
5233Have you gone raving mad?
5233Have you signed up with the Arctic Navigation Company?
5233Have you some prejudice against the Irish?
5233He did?
5233Heard about it?
5233His widow?
5233Honestly?
5233How DARED they?
5233How about this fellow Gordon?
5233How can I guess?
5233How can I refuse? 5233 How can we go on?"
5233How can you check a thing like that?
5233How did those men get their outfits through in''98?
5233How did you get here?
5233How did you go in?
5233How does she feel about him?
5233How far is that?
5233How is the place lighted by night?
5233How long do you intend to maintain this preposterous attitude?
5233How long shall we be gone?
5233How long will she last?
5233How long will we be tied up?
5233How many are there?
5233How much is that? 5233 How much sleep does he get?"
5233How so?
5233How-- do you mean?
5233How?
5233I ai n''t sick, eh? 5233 I dare say you''ll go to them if we do n''t take you up, eh?"
5233I preferred not to discuss the Golden woman before Natalie,she explained, coldly,"but-- you do n''t really intend to have her here, do you?"
5233I suppose it''s none of my business,she said,"but-- couldn''t you boys pay them out of your own salaries?"
5233I suppose it''s too late in the season to repair any serious damage?
5233I suppose you need me, too, do n''t you? 5233 I-- perhaps-- I-- What has gone wrong, Chief?"
5233I? 5233 If the storm does n''t come to your help, will you be ruined?"
5233If you''re trying to get a legal opinion on the matter why do n''t you see a lawyer? 5233 Indeed?
5233Indeed? 5233 Indeed?
5233Indeed?
5233Is Gordon broke?
5233Is he a friend of yours?
5233Is he in-- danger, Danny?
5233Is it a symptom?
5233Is it a-- love story?
5233Is it mine, HONESTLY?
5233Is it safe?
5233Is n''t it BIG?
5233Is n''t it beautiful?
5233Is n''t it enough to know that the Trust has nothing to do with the S. R.& N.?
5233Is n''t the mine any good?
5233Is n''t this-- just great?
5233Is she going?
5233Is that the only reason why you came along-- just to make sure that I saw all this?
5233Is that your delicate way of telling me I''m discharged?
5233Is the ship- sinking?
5233Is there an eruption of the arms and chest?
5233Is there any other dog- feed there?
5233Is there any-- reason for waiting?
5233Is this Halibut Bay?
5233Is this labor trouble really serious?
5233Is this true?
5233It is all over now, is n''t it?
5233It will feel good to get rid of all this responsibility, wo n''t it? 5233 It''s as serious as that?"
5233Just what-- do you mean by that?
5233Leave? 5233 Like to have a tip?
5233Loafing? 5233 Meaning me?"
5233Misser O''Neil, ai n''t it?
5233Must?
5233No?
5233Not REALLY? 5233 Not bad, is it?"
5233Not enough pay?
5233Nothing, only-- are you sure?
5233Nothing?
5233Now what do you want me to do?
5233Now what have the Heidlemanns done?
5233Now where does he live? 5233 O''Neil, eh?
5233Of course not, but do n''t you see? 5233 Of what?"
5233Oh, do I? 5233 Old?
5233On account of this boy? 5233 Over these things?
5233Poor grub?
5233Read it? 5233 So you can bottle me up, too?
5233Sore about what?
5233Sounds as simple as a pair of suspenders, does n''t it?
5233Speaking of bad luck,he continued,"when are you going to get married, Murray?"
5233Still, you''ll help me, wo n''t you?
5233Stop them? 5233 Suppose he ca n''t locate these fellows in Cortez?"
5233Suppose he had said that when Dan stopped him at the canon?
5233Suppose it should be rough?
5233That''s hardly necessary now, is it? 5233 That''s pretty bad, is n''t it?"
5233The Trust, too, eh?
5233The ice is rising, and--"Rising?
5233The law provides--"Law? 5233 The river is subject to quick rises, I believe?"
5233Then I''m not fired?
5233Then he died?
5233Then we-- have lost?
5233Then why did he go out alone? 5233 Then why did n''t you keep still?"
5233Then you have an office in the city?
5233Then your investment did n''t turn out fortunately?
5233Then-- why in blazes are you starting it?
5233These men are your staff?
5233This is definite?
5233Tom? 5233 Was anybody lost?"
5233Washing me?
5233Well, was it worth your trouble, Miss Kick- over the- traces?
5233Well?
5233Well?
5233Well?
5233Well?
5233Well?
5233Wh- what?
5233What about this blackmail?
5233What about those shift bosses?
5233What about your own actions with the Golden woman?
5233What always happens? 5233 What are you doing now?"
5233What are you going to do about her?
5233What are you talking about?
5233What can we do about this unfortunate Illis affair?
5233What did he say?
5233What did she do with her half of the fortune?
5233What did they say?
5233What do you know about that canyon?
5233What do you know about that matter?
5233What do you make of that tundra between Omar and the canon?
5233What do you mean by such carelessness?
5233What do you mean by that snort?
5233What do you mean?
5233What do you mean?
5233What do you say to that?
5233What do you want me to do?
5233What does Mr. O''Neil say?
5233What does it all mean? 5233 What does it mean?"
5233What for? 5233 What for?"
5233What for?
5233What happened to him?
5233What happened to the man that chewed gum?
5233What has happened?
5233What in the world are you doing here, Tom?
5233What is a splavvus, Tom?
5233What is it, dear?
5233What is it?
5233What is it?
5233What is this man doing in my house?
5233What is this?
5233What is your proposition?
5233What made Baker and Thorn stop here?
5233What made you quit?
5233What the deuce are you talking about?
5233What things?
5233What will Mr. O''Neil do?
5233What will the remaining hundred miles cost?
5233What will you do?
5233What''s her name?
5233What''s in the air? 5233 What''s the matter with him, anyhow?"
5233What''s the matter, Sis?
5233What''s the matter? 5233 What''s this?
5233What''s wrong, Danny?
5233What''s your plan?
5233What-- insane?
5233What?
5233What?
5233What?
5233When did he arrive?
5233When did they arrive?
5233When did you go into the White River country?
5233When was it made up last?
5233When will that be?
5233When will the wedding take place?
5233When?
5233Where are they now?
5233Where are you going to put us for the night?
5233Where are your grips? 5233 Where did he learn the inside of Illis''s deal?
5233Where did you find the fur rug?
5233Where does your road start from?
5233Where have you been lately, Uncle Tom?
5233Where is he?
5233Where is it? 5233 Where will you go?"
5233Where''s Murray?
5233Where''s O''Neil?
5233Where''s the money coming from?
5233Where?
5233Where?
5233Who are these prospectors?
5233Who gave this out?
5233Who laid out your right- of- way?
5233Who wants dogs now?
5233Who''s this Homer Keim you''re always talking about?
5233Who? 5233 Who?
5233Who?
5233Why WILL you chew the horrid stuff?
5233Why bother your head about something that does n''t concern you?
5233Why did n''t Mr. O''Neil take Kyak as a terminus, instead of Omar?
5233Why did n''t they come to me?
5233Why did n''t you take the S. R.& N. when I cabled you last month?
5233Why did n''t you? 5233 Why did you come to me?
5233Why do n''t YOU tell me?
5233Why do n''t you make Murray come in?
5233Why do n''t you want O''Neil to know about that money, Sis?
5233Why do you stay here?
5233Why does n''t he come out with the truth?
5233Why more scandalous to accept my protection than that of a stranger? 5233 Why not?"
5233Why should it, Gloria? 5233 Why, you''re going to stay till we''re through, are n''t you?"
5233Why? 5233 Why?
5233Why?
5233Why?
5233Why?
5233Why?
5233Why?
5233Why?
5233Why?
5233Will I do?
5233Will it fall over on us?
5233Will it-- really stand the break- up?
5233Will you allow it?
5233Will you come with me up this trail a little way?
5233Will you cover this in the shape of an option?
5233Will you do as I ask?
5233Will you still be nice to me?
5233Will you take an option on the S. R.& N. conditional upon the building of the bridge?
5233Will you talk sense?
5233Will you tell me about it?
5233Will you--?
5233Wo n''t the kitchen flue draw, or has a hinge come off the bungalow door?
5233Wo n''t you go ashore?
5233Wo n''t you put it on?
5233Would you let a hired man help you on with your underclothes?
5233You ca n''t? 5233 You came to Cortez?"
5233You discharge us?
5233You do n''t like Gordon, do you?
5233You do n''t mind?
5233You have friends there, have n''t you? 5233 You have lost some men here, have n''t you?"
5233You have n''t made your new agreement?
5233You know him, do n''t you?
5233You mean I must marry you?
5233You mean railroads and coal- fields and such things?
5233You need a rest, eh?
5233You need money badly, do n''t you?
5233You remembered, did n''t you? 5233 You surely intend to do so?"
5233You think Gordon is a false alarm?
5233You think he''ll make good?
5233You think so? 5233 You want me to go with you?"
5233You was n''t hurt, was you?
5233You were not on the Nebraska?
5233You were up in the air, too, were n''t you? 5233 You wo n''t?
5233You''ll go East and see our people, I suppose?
5233You''ll-- have to beach her?
5233You''re great on nicknames, ai n''t you?
5233You''ve been up there?
5233You-- WHAT?
5233You-- love me still?
5233You-- mean it?
5233You-- you have n''t STOLEN anything?
5233You? 5233 ''Bad news?'' 5233 ''Happy Tom''Slater--"The funny man with the blues?
5233After a moment Murray asked them:"Did you fellows ever see any rock like that?"
5233After a moment he inquired:"Why do n''t you show these people how to build a railroad, Murray?"
5233Am I as sick as all that?"
5233Am I right?"
5233And how are the two arms of you?"
5233And now, my boy, lay yourself down again and take a sleep, wo n''t you?
5233Are n''t you happy here?"
5233Are we to be rivals in the railroad field?"
5233Are you a-- a coal person, like us?"
5233Are you going to pay them?"
5233Are you looking for a job?"
5233Are you played out?"
5233Are you sure Mr. O''Neil has failed?"
5233As Natalie began preparing for action he queried, in surprise,"Do n''t you like my little home?"
5233As for those two-- You say they want to do something?"
5233Been buying some live stock?"
5233But what do you think I found?
5233But what has that to do with the matter?"
5233But where?"
5233But why not?
5233But-- isn''t he magnificent?"
5233Ca n''t I love him?
5233Can you beat that?"
5233Can you imagine it?
5233Can you swim?"
5233Curtis Gordon would have broken me--""Gordon?"
5233D''you take me for a bearded lady or a living skeleton?"
5233Dear girl, can it be?
5233Did I make trouble?"
5233Did it ever occur to you that there is a great risk involved in a thing of this sort, and that capital must see a profit before it enters a new field?
5233Did n''t they waken you?"
5233Did you think he set me on your trail?"
5233Do I interrupt?"
5233Do n''t you think it would sound nicer coming from some one else?"
5233Do n''t you think she is more than a piece of baggage waiting to be claimed by the first man who comes along?"
5233Do n''t you understand, dummy?
5233Do n''t you understand?
5233Do n''t you understand?"
5233Do n''t you?"
5233Do n''t you?"
5233Do you call that conservation?
5233Do you care what these people think?"
5233Do you know ore when you see it?"
5233Do you know-- this is the first hint of home I''ve had since I was a boy?
5233Do you suppose he does?"
5233Do you think the chance is worth all that work and suffering?"
5233Do you want to get your fool self killed?"
5233Do you want us to come again?"
5233Does it look like a place to build a railroad?"
5233Drawing O''Neil aside, she began with some trepidation,"Have you any idea why I''m here?"
5233Finally she inquired:"Do you ever feel a queer, gnawing feeling, like hunger, if you go without your breakfast?"
5233Get it quick, understand?
5233Get me the box, will you, Sis?"
5233Gray scowled and Eliza inquired quickly:"What''s wrong, Uncle Tom?"
5233Have n''t you complied with it?"
5233Have you and Gloria begun to balance my wealth against my love?
5233Have you-- missed me?"
5233He glared at her, and slowly, distinctly, with all the emphasis at his command, said:"I had smallpox-- and a dam''bad case, understand?
5233He had made the wilderness fruitful, but what of his own life?
5233He has been careless, disloyal--""You told them so?"
5233He has n''t said a word, but-- Is that why you came in frowning like a thunder- cloud?
5233He lingered along for a time, stubborn to the last, then--"Turning abruptly to Dr. Gray, she asked,"Who is this man Linn, and what is he doing?"
5233He watched the tall figure stumble up the gang- plank, and shook his head:"''The utmost publicity,''is it?
5233He''ll make another fortune, that''s sure-- but do you think I''ll ever find another Natalie?
5233He''s a game old rooster, ai n''t he?
5233Heard the news?"
5233How do you intend to get across?"
5233How long can you fool your people with that pretense of a mine?"
5233How so?"
5233I could have had it easily, and it would have meant my everlasting fortune, but--""But what?"
5233I s''pose I''m doing this for fun?
5233I told you what I did tell you only so that you might correct--""You rebel, eh?"
5233I wonder what they think of me?
5233I''m so old-- such a poor thing-- you could n''t possibly care, and yet, WHY DID YOU COME?"
5233If that''s so he is a prince, is n''t he?"
5233If you''re so anxious to go up- river, why do n''t you cross over to the moraine?
5233In Heaven''s name where have you been?"
5233In a loud tone he inquired of the girl at the news- stand,"Have you got any wintergreen gum?"
5233In an even sourer tone he murmured:"Ai n''t that just me?
5233Is it because you have such a royal way of dispensing favors that they call you''The Irish Prince''?"
5233Is it safe to breathe the bugs?"
5233Is it you, Gordon?"
5233Is it-- true?
5233Is n''t he the haughty thing?
5233Is n''t healthy to know too mush, is it?"
5233Is n''t it funny?
5233Is n''t it my privilege to help him if I want to?
5233Is n''t it worth a year, two years, of hard labor, to awaken the American people to the knowledge that they are being robbed of their birthright?
5233Is n''t that right?"
5233Is n''t that the limit?
5233Is n''t that waste?
5233Is the generosity to be all on my side?
5233Is your back broken?"
5233It was a great night, was n''t it?"
5233It was cold, was n''t it?"
5233It was too exiting and dramatic for anything the way Mr. O''Neil found him when he was in hiding--""Hiding?"
5233Just make him love me?"
5233Knowing that the foreman owned no dogs, he asked, half banteringly:"You''re not getting ready for a trip, I hope?"
5233Man dear, do n''t you know who you went bathing with?
5233May I ask how you are going to help yourselves?"
5233Me?"
5233Miss Appleton pointed to his feet and asked, crisply:"How many pairs of socks do you wear?"
5233Miss Appleton stammered:"Why-- I-- called her Violet-- until I could think of a better--""What''s wrong with Violet?
5233Mr. Gordon sent you?"
5233Murray was in no mood to waste words; he began roughly:"Did you tell Miss Gerard that Poultney Illis is backing me?"
5233Must I explain the why s and wherefores of every move I make?"
5233My dear, what do you mean?"
5233No?
5233Now have you any grub in camp?"
5233Now of what earthly use to the line are you, for instance, except for your beauty, which, no doubt, has its value with the women?
5233Now tell me"--Gordon fixed his visitor with a bland stare which failed to mask his gnawing curiosity--"what brings you to King Phillip Sound?
5233Now what is this I hear about my beard?"
5233Now, do you want to know what I think of this proposition of yours?"
5233Now, will you stick to me?"
5233O''Neil lit a cigar and asked:"Tell me, why did you insist on coming?"
5233O''Neil or Drake?"
5233O''Neil''s?"
5233O''Neil?"
5233O''Neil?"
5233O''Neil?"
5233Of course I would n''t attack him unfairly, but I do believe in conservation-- and what could I do but come here to you?"
5233Of course the place is unusual--""In what way?"
5233On Wall Street?"
5233Or are you dead to all decent feeling?"
5233Or has this man O''Neil forbidden you to associate with me?"
5233Promise?"
5233Remember me?"
5233She fell silent for a moment before asking:"Do you detest me for my cowardice?
5233She handed him one, and he read: ELIZA V. APPLETON THE REVIEW"May I ask what the''V''stands for?"
5233She''d make a dandy sister- in- law for you, would n''t she?"
5233Slater obeyed, with some reluctance, pausing to inquire, doubtfully:"You ai n''t stripping me down so you can operate?"
5233Slater?"
5233Stock?
5233Summoning her courage, she whispered:"Murray dear, wo n''t you call me-- Violet?"
5233Tea?"
5233Tell me, are you going to build another railroad?"
5233Tell me, is it so?
5233Tell me, would you like to be a trained nurse?"
5233That would be a real service, would n''t it?"
5233That''s what every one does, is n''t it?
5233That''s why people scratch, ai n''t it?"
5233The fat man stared at his informant accusingly,"Ai n''t this the fifteenth?"
5233The launchman, motor crank in hand, paused, staring; he was still open- mouthed when Dan, catching sight of him, shouted:"What''s the matter, idiot?
5233The mines are rich, are n''t they?"
5233The speaker rose and began to pace the cabin floor, then, in an altered tone, inquired,"Tell me, are you going to land me and my horses at Kyak Bay?"
5233The young man flushed slightly, then in a quieter voice, he asked:"How did you know I was out of work?"
5233Then in a noticeably altered tone he asked,"Do you love-- Natalie?"
5233Then she said, mockingly:"Is that all?
5233Then with a touch of spirit,"Do you think I''d work for this four- flusher if you were in the country?"
5233There was an angry second to this, whereupon the doctor exclaimed:"You think so, eh?
5233There was nothing else to do, was there?
5233They located it, they did all the law required them to do-- but did the Government keep its word?
5233They''re making tracks, are n''t they?
5233Things get awfully mixed, do n''t they?
5233Those forestry stories of yours and the article on the Water Power Combination made a hit, did n''t they?"
5233Turning to Eliza, he inquired:"What do you think of it?"
5233Two million you said, did n''t you?"
5233Understand?
5233Understand?"
5233Understand?"
5233VIII IN WHICH WE COME TO OMAR"Miss Appleton,"said the editor of The Review,"would you like to take a vacation?"
5233Walsh, the night foreman, raised his voice to inquire:"Does anybody want to buy a dog- team cheap?"
5233Was our money returned to us?
5233We nearly died, did n''t we?
5233Were they friendly?"
5233Wha''d you know about that?
5233What about that gang from Omar?"
5233What about those glaciers?"
5233What ails him?"
5233What are we going to do?"
5233What are you doing here?"
5233What are you driving at?"
5233What are you men doing here?"
5233What are you talking about?"
5233What can I do?"
5233What could they say?"
5233What do you mean?"
5233What for?"
5233What has he got to show them for it?"
5233What is it, anyhow?"
5233What is your book about?"
5233What possessed you to do this?"
5233What put that into your head?"
5233What was that?"
5233What will happen?"
5233What''s the meaning of this change of plan?
5233What''s your reason for distrusting him?"
5233When a man is in love, you know--"Murray wheeled upon Dan and demanded sharply:"What''s this?"
5233When he had finished paying off, Dan said, brusquely:"Now we must n''t have any loafing around town, understand?"
5233When he had gone"Happy Tom"inquired:"Now, why in blazes did you hire him?
5233When the speaker had finished, O''Neil inquired:"Are you an experienced quartz- miner?
5233When they were back in camp he said:"Of course you know why I''m here?"
5233When you built the line it practically put''em out of the Dawson market, understand?"
5233Where are you going?"
5233Where can we go?"
5233Where did you get your information?"
5233Who are you?"
5233Who d''you s''pose I saw to- day?
5233Who ever heard of such a thing?"
5233Who is McDermott?"
5233Who is in charge of this crew?"
5233Who''s he?"
5233Who-- or what is the girl in the story?"
5233Why are you scratching yourself?"
5233Why did n''t they speak out?
5233Why did n''t you tell me?
5233Why did n''t you tell me?
5233Why did you do this mad thing?
5233Why do n''t you bounce this man Linn?
5233Why do n''t you go to law and settle the question that way?
5233Why do n''t you run him out of camp?"
5233Why do n''t you run over to Omar and see your friend Miss Appleton?
5233Why not?
5233Why, I''ve got a boy back in the state of Maine, fourteen years old--""Willie?"
5233Will there never be an end to Gordon?"
5233Will you go with us?"
5233Will you go?"
5233Wo n''t it wreck everything if it goes out suddenly?
5233Wo n''t the ice sweep down on the bridge itself?
5233Wo n''t you?
5233Would n''t that just be my luck?"
5233You agree?"
5233You are going back to Seattle?"
5233You can guess the result, ca n''t you?
5233You do n''t think I''d dare to go back after this, do you?"
5233You get me?"
5233You get the idea?"
5233You have a family, have n''t you, Uncle Tom?"
5233You mean-- Natalie?
5233You read Gordon''s lies about us and about that fight at Beaver Canon?
5233You see the answer?"
5233You see?
5233You understand I sympathize?"
5233You understand?"
5233You wo n''t ever-- will you, Eliza?
5233You would n''t set me to work?
5233You-- like her?"
5233Your poison, my meat-- as it were, eh?
5233Your story, eh?"
6488A mile?
6488A phonograph?
6488A stop- watch?
6488Ai n''t he a foot- runner?
6488Ai n''t he no champeen?
6488Ai n''t they g- g- got you yet?
6488Ai n''t you the Yale champ? 6488 All?"
6488Am I?
6488And did you win?
6488And do you reckon he''d run for us and the Echo Phonograph of New York and Paris, if we framed a race? 6488 And does it do-- that?"
6488And if, on the other hand, I should win--Miss Blake''s eyes fell--"Helen, would you marry me?"
6488And is that Echo Phonograph worth all this?
6488And leave Helen-- like that? 6488 And now that I''ve told you what a miserable fraud I am, you wo n''t stop loving me?"
6488And the Fat Senor will not spik wit''her again?
6488And the Senor Fat will r- r- re- member?
6488And this is Mr. Skinner, no doubt?
6488And was Humpy Joe defeated?
6488And yet it do n''t make us laugh, does it?
6488And you understand?
6488And you?
6488And, by- the- way, where is he?
6488Another?
6488Are you going to keep it?
6488Are you quite sure that your sister''s guests have not-- had something to do with this sudden determination?
6488Are you standing on my prayer- rug?
6488As sung by Madam- o- sella Melby?
6488B- but will you stay down? 6488 Better wire Covington again, had n''t you?
6488Broke, eh?
6488But how can we stop it?
6488But is it really so serious?
6488But no accidents, understand? 6488 But you understan''w''at I try to say?"
6488But you wo n''t tell?
6488By- the- way, what have you bet?
6488Ca n''t we time him with a ordinary watch?
6488Can a man run fast with one of them?
6488Can he run?
6488Can_ I_ win?
6488Cold, eh? 6488 Could n''t you beat this cook?"
6488Could n''t you fall down?
6488D''you know who that is?
6488D''you think he broke it a- purpose?
6488Did I tell you that?
6488Did n''t I say so, all along? 6488 Did n''t you know about it?"
6488Did n''t you never hear about the killin''he made at Saratoga?
6488Did n''t you never see the sun rise before?
6488Did n''t you promise to stop Culver?
6488Did n''t you think he could?
6488Did she marry him?
6488Did these rummies want to shoot him?
6488Did you get our message?
6488Did you hear what I said?
6488Did you see his legs?
6488Did you see those medals he wore yesterday?
6488Do n''t I know it?
6488Do n''t you consider your action deceitful?
6488Do n''t you know any other song?
6488Do n''t you know?
6488Do n''t you want anything to eat?
6488Do n''t_ I_?
6488Do you believe in the charm?
6488Do you know what''s goin''to happen to me if Covington do n''t get here and beat this cook?
6488Do you really think that would help?
6488Do you reckon he fixed that race with Humpy Joe?
6488Do you remember Humpy Joe? 6488 Do you suppose we_ could_ run away?"
6488Does he know you are here?
6488Does it seem to you quite the thing to bet against our man, Fresno?
6488Does that mean that you were alone?
6488For me?
6488Goin''to take a little run, eh?
6488Good? 6488 Had n''t you better make that the loser, miss?
6488Happen to you?
6488Has anybody got objections to me?
6488Has he weakened himself much?
6488Have n''t you boys risked enough already?
6488Have n''t you recovered from that foot- race?
6488Have you had experience?
6488Have you told Roberta about your engagement?
6488He hates to talk about himself, does n''t he?
6488Here, what are you singing about?
6488How can I ever do enough for you? 6488 How can I talk when I''m sound asleep?"
6488How can I when you wo n''t listen to me? 6488 How did you like the jail?"
6488How do I look?
6488How do you know?
6488How do you train in a room?
6488How does a person train in a room?
6488How does it work?
6488How ever did you manage it?
6488How fast can he do a hundred yards?
6488How fast is that?
6488How is he?
6488How much do you aim to risk, miss?
6488How much have you wagered?
6488How well do you know him?
6488How were they inscribed? 6488 How''s she gettin''along?"
6488I believe the latter, but are you sure you can win?
6488I have, eh? 6488 I s''pose that satchel is full of money?"
6488I think it''s a crying shame that they were cheated out of it, do n''t you?
6488I wonder how fast this feller is? 6488 I wonder what it can be?"
6488I wonder what makes widows so fascinating?
6488I''m gun- shy, see? 6488 I''m hungry enough to eat a plush cushion, but--""What?"
6488If you could n''t hear us call, why did you run?
6488If you roped him for Helen Blake to brand, why have you sent for Wally Speed?
6488In fact, I never saw such a--"What was in terrible shape?
6488Is he good? 6488 Is it any wonder a woman distrusts every man she meets?"
6488Is she looking at me?
6488Is she? 6488 Is that all I have to do?"
6488Is that all?
6488Is that fast?
6488Is that right, Miss Chapin?
6488Is this a joke?
6488Is''forty''good?
6488It''s a beautiful thing, is n''t it?
6488It''s a joke, is n''t it?
6488It''s all right? 6488 It''s an old- timer, is n''t it?
6488It''s quite a walk, ai n''t it?
6488Jest wait for what?
6488Joke, eh? 6488 Larry only wanted to please you-- eh, Larry?"
6488Larry,cried his employer, sharply,"have you lost your head?"
6488Life,said Berkeley,"is one sweet--""What is going on here?"
6488Makes a pretty good track, eh?
6488Mariedetta?
6488Mary?
6488Mr. Gallagher, wo n''t you use my sash?
6488Mrs. Keap, are you sure Culver loves you?
6488My dear girl, you are n''t going to-- bet it?
6488My what?
6488Nice and soft and white, were n''t they?
6488No answer to that telegram yet, eh?
6488Not hungry, eh?
6488Notches on his gun- handle, I suppose?
6488Now do n''t let''s take any chances to- morrow, see? 6488 Now, in what way can I serve you?"
6488Oh, are you an athlete?
6488Oh, is that so?
6488Or, if it is easier, at what college games did you first run?
6488Park, eh?
6488Playin''what?
6488Poisoned, eh?
6488Really? 6488 Really?"
6488Roberta who?
6488Run away?
6488Running pardner?
6488S- s- suppose he gets sick or sprains his ankle?
6488S-- say, what''s to prevent us being murdered when we''re out for a run?
6488Say, Wally, suppose Covington do n''t come?
6488Say, are youse guys tryin''to kid me?
6488Say, does it look like we''d win?
6488Say, what is all this fuss about? 6488 Say, what''s that word?
6488Say, you do n''t think nothin''could happen to him on the way over from the depot?
6488Say,he said, pointing a finger,"who''s that?"
6488See here, Larry, do n''t you know better than to interrupt me in the midst of a hammock talk?
6488See here, do you reckon he''d run?
6488See here,Wally stormed at last,"what''s the use?
6488Self- protection, eh?
6488Senor, you see those beautiful medal he have?
6488Shall we let them in?
6488Shoot me, you mean?
6488Sick, eh? 6488 So that was one of your California jokes, eh?
6488So you broke up my tete- a- tete to tell me a funny story?
6488Somebody step on your foot at a dance?
6488Speaking of suicides, is n''t this ranch the deadest place?
6488Starts?
6488Stover, what is this?
6488Surely you do n''t care for her seriously?
6488Suspicious, eh?
6488Tell me,said she, finally,"at what intercollegiate game did you run last?"
6488Ten and four- fifths- seconds?
6488The man I race?
6488The volley was fired at sunrise, Just at the break of day--"Did you get that?"
6488Then at what game did you last run? 6488 Then he''s a good athlete, is he?"
6488Then it amounts to this, does it: I''m your prisoner?
6488Then it is n''t about the foot- race? 6488 Then it''s true?
6488Then why attempt the impossible? 6488 Then you have been working?"
6488Then you vouch for him, do you?
6488Then you wo n''t take no chances?
6488Then you_ do_ dislike him?
6488There''s no necessity for an explanation, is there? 6488 These cowboys ai n''t good losers, eh?"
6488They ai n''t, hey? 6488 They are rather severe, are n''t they?"
6488They seem to think he''s a whirlin''ball of fire, but that do n''t worry you none, does it?
6488They wo n''t, eh? 6488 They''ve all got it in for my pad, have n''t they?"
6488They? 6488 Think he ca n''t do it, eh?
6488Think so?
6488This afternoon? 6488 This little feller I''m trainin''--does he win?"
6488Undoubtedly, but--"What?
6488Vat you t''ank? 6488 Vat you tank he vants?"
6488W- what do you want? 6488 W-- where will you cut him?"
6488Walk?
6488Was he?
6488We ai n''t never joked with you yit, have we?
6488We laid the phonograph agin their treasures an''trappin''s--"But how much money?
6488Well, how do you know I ca n''t win? 6488 Well, how''s the weather, Cloudy?"
6488Well, what am I to do? 6488 Well, what d''you think of that?"
6488Well, what is it?
6488Well, who wants to go and meet him?
6488Well, you must have heard Missus Heleney Moray in_ The Baggage Coach Ahead_?
6488Were you looking for Speed?
6488What about them empty beer bottles?
6488What about us?
6488What are you doing at this hour?
6488What are you going to sing?
6488What are you tryin''to hand us?
6488What are you waiting for? 6488 What can I say?"
6488What college did you attend?
6488What could happen?
6488What d''you mean?
6488What d''you think of him?
6488What day shall we set?
6488What did I tell you?
6488What did he say?
6488What did you do?
6488What do you mean, Lawrence?
6488What do you think of our decorations?
6488What do you think?
6488What does he want?
6488What does that mean?
6488What does that signify?
6488What have they done?
6488What have you done to yourself?
6488What in the world are you boys talking about?
6488What is a om- en?
6488What is it, Lawrence?
6488What is it?
6488What is it?
6488What made him hurry so?
6488What made you invite Berkeley Fresno, anyhow?
6488What made you run away?
6488What made you say''yes''?
6488What on earth has possessed them?
6488What shall I do about them? 6488 What was that?"
6488What''s fixed?
6488What''s goin''on here? 6488 What''s he done?"
6488What''s that?
6488What''s the difference if you''re astraddle of a cloud with a gold guitar in your lap?
6488What''s the idea?
6488What''s the use? 6488 What''s wrong with his trainin''?"
6488What''s wrong with my running?
6488What''s wrong with my singing?
6488What''s wrong with you, anyhow?
6488What''s wrong?
6488What''s wrong?
6488What''s wrong?
6488What?
6488What?
6488When I was accused of being an athlete I could n''t deny it, could I?
6488When did you feel this comin''on?
6488When did you learn to box, Wally?
6488When does Covington arrive?
6488When''ll he be here? 6488 Where are you going?"
6488Where do we want what?
6488Where do you want it, gents?
6488Where does the raffle come off?
6488Where is he?
6488Where you goin''to run to- day?
6488Where?
6488While she''s engaged to that broken- toed serpent, she does n''t love him, do you see?
6488Who done that?
6488Who framed it? 6488 Who has told you these things?"
6488Who is this humorous party?
6488Who knows what may happen?
6488Who told you?
6488Who was with you?
6488Who''s scared?
6488Who?
6488Why all the colors?
6488Why did n''t I think of it before? 6488 Why did n''t you answer when we called?"
6488Why did n''t you leave me alone?
6488Why do n''t you carry matches?
6488Why do n''t you cut it? 6488 Why do n''t you fellows think about the finish of this race?"
6488Why do n''t you pin them up?
6488Why do you ask?
6488Why do you reckon he allus lets Mrs. Melby peter out on my favorite record? 6488 Why do you want to run?"
6488Why not? 6488 Why not?"
6488Why not?
6488Why not?
6488Why the clear, ringing, rippling laughter?
6488Why''n''ell do n''t they keep her wound up?
6488Why, what is the matter?
6488Why?
6488Why?
6488Will I win or will you? 6488 Will you marry me?"
6488Will you?
6488With all these sweaters? 6488 Without what?"
6488Wo n''t you?
6488Would you allow an insignificant thing like a foot- race to wreck a human life? 6488 Yale?"
6488Yes; but how many men would step aside and let their best friend win prize after prize and never undertake to compete against him?
6488Yes? 6488 You ai n''t been summoned away?"
6488You and she are old friends, I believe?
6488You are n''t going to talk to Miss Blake? 6488 You are sure the meat is n''t too tender?"
6488You been talk''a gret deal to my Senorita-- to Mariedetta, eh?
6488You broke a toe?
6488You call?
6488You do love me, Roberta?
6488You do n''t aim to leave?
6488You do n''t mean that, really?
6488You have n''t told anybody?
6488You have spoken of it?
6488You intend to make me eat this disgusting stuff, whether I want to or not?
6488You know she was a wonderful player?
6488You mule- skinners ai n''t broke her?
6488You play wit''me, eh?
6488You refuse?
6488You see, do n''t you? 6488 You see?"
6488You spik Spanish?
6488You surely wo n''t tell Helen?
6488You talkin''to me?
6488You think pretty well of yourself, do n''t you?
6488You told him?
6488You want me to_ eat_ as well as sleep here?
6488You were a trainer at Yale when Jack was there?
6488You win from''Whiz''Long, and you ca n''t run under fifteen?
6488You wo n''t forget, or anything like that?
6488You wo n''t, eh? 6488 You''ll pardon me?"
6488You''re Cloudy- but- the- Sun- Shines?
6488You''re a husky, ai n''t you?
6488You''re not frightened, are you?
6488You''ve been handlin''him for quite a spell, have n''t you?
6488You_ did_ try? 6488 _ Covington is coming!_ Do n''t you understand?"
6488_ Silas on Fifth Avenue?_"Sure! 6488 A guy ca n''t train without trainin''-quarters, can he?
6488Ai n''t it bad enough for us fellers to hang around like this every night without advertising our idiocy by a gun- play?"
6488And I fancy these cowboys would resent the joke, do n''t you?
6488And suppose that I ca n''t beat him?"
6488And will you pardon me for interrupting your routine?
6488And you will, wo n''t you?
6488And you?"
6488Are the runners ready?"
6488Are they try in''to fix you, Skinner?"
6488Are you ill?"
6488As for Mrs. Keap, she was inquiring of Jack with genuine solicitude:"Do you really mean that you may be gone for some time?"
6488But I do n''t see why you are so excited?
6488But how about the phonograph?"
6488But no rough work in front of the cowboys, understand?
6488By- the- way, what''s that gold thing on your frock?"
6488CHAPTER VI"This does n''t look much like our storehouse, does it?"
6488Ca n''t you see?"
6488Can I do anything for you?"
6488Can we watch them?"
6488Chapin stepped forward with a look of suspicion, inquiring:"What''s going on here?"
6488Did n''t you go and tell Helen everything?"
6488Did they tell you what happened to Humpy Joe, your predecessor?"
6488Did you stop in Omaha?"
6488Do n''t you know that the worst thing in the world for an athlete is to talk to a woman?"
6488Do n''t you see what a situation this is?
6488Do n''t you see?"
6488Do n''t you understand?
6488Do n''t you understand?
6488Do n''t you?"
6488Do you mean to say Humpy Joe run that foot- race on the square?"
6488Do you think I came all the way from New York to sleep?
6488Does the Centipede accept its fate?"
6488Does this frame- up go through?"
6488Eh?
6488Even if he made a clean breast of the whole affair to Jean, or to her brother when he arrived, what good would that do?
6488Ever heard?"
6488Finding that it was no hallucination, Speed rose, calling out:"Who are you?"
6488Fresno explained the operation of the apparatus, at which the cow- man remarked, admiringly:"That young feller is all right, ai n''t he?"
6488From a rod farther down the wire fence Willie answered him, in a boy''s falsetto:"I wonder if he does it to spite me?"
6488From behind the blanket curtains where the barrel stood, the former demanded:"What did you mean by saying I''d have to run again this afternoon?"
6488Glass regained his voice sufficiently to murmur, sarcastically,"Say, ai n''t this a swell- looking drum?"
6488Glass?"
6488Have n''t I run enough for-- one day?"
6488Have you ever been to California?"
6488Have you ever heard Madam- o- sella Melby sing_ The Holy City_?"
6488Have you noticed''em?"
6488He heard Larry still coaching earnestly:"If you ca n''t bite him, trip him up,"and some one said:"Are we ready?"
6488He is not at all like the other cowboys, is he?"
6488He led the way; then inquired,"Is this your runner?"
6488Hear anything?"
6488Honestly?"
6488How does Wally get in motion, Lawrence?"
6488How you goin''to side- step?"
6488How''s the weather, Mister Cloudy?"
6488How''s this?"
6488How?
6488Humpy and I jobbed this gang last month; we''re pardners, see?
6488I allow you are the unknown?"
6488I can hardly explain why I want him, can I?
6488I can''t--""What''s the use?
6488I hope I''m not too curious?"
6488I make bold to inquire if you''re talkin''for our runner?"
6488I mean, has he-- said anything?"
6488I reckon that wo n''t affect your runnin''none, will it?"
6488I went motoring--""Joy- ride?"
6488I''m broke, see?
6488I''m in good enough shape, eh, Larry?"
6488I''ve got myself into a fine mess, have n''t I?
6488If Covington ran in Speed''s place, how could he effect his rival''s exposure?
6488In his first bewilderment the latecomer might have unwittingly betrayed his friend had not Jean suddenly inquired:"Where is Roberta?"
6488Is Mr. Chapin around?"
6488Is it a good weapon?"
6488Is n''t it time to go back to the ranch?"
6488Is that a locality or a beverage?"
6488Is that his game?"
6488It has made her suspicious--""But you did deceive me, did n''t you?"
6488It''s rather funny, though, is n''t it?"
6488May I show you a surprise I brought for you?"
6488Mebbe he did n''t get it?"
6488Much of a town?"
6488Need I say he''s Mex, and a preemeer roper?"
6488Over on the race- course Gallagher was inquiring:"Who''s goin''to send these y''ere athaletes away?"
6488Roberta, may I present Mr. Covington''s friend, and ask you to be good to him?"
6488Say, ai n''t that one of them Flyin''Heart city visitors?"
6488See?
6488So he''s out from cover at last, eh?"
6488Some raw eggs and a good strong vegetable--""Onions?"
6488Speed addressed Helen, with a magnanimous smile:"Suppose we allow Frez to_ sing_ this foot- race?
6488Speed buy you a new phonograph, and call the race off?"
6488Speed ca n''t go walking with me?"
6488Speed can not r- r- run, w''at you do, eh?"
6488Speed do n''t?"
6488Speed go in for that sort of thing?"
6488Speed goin''to_ live_ here?"
6488Speed settled things between you, Helen?
6488Speed up yet?"
6488Speed wo n''t do it?"
6488Speed''s idea?"
6488Speed''s word sufficient?"
6488Speed?
6488Speed?"
6488Speed?"
6488Speed?"
6488Speed?"
6488Speed?"
6488Suppose Miss Blake should n''t care for Speed after he gets here?"
6488Suppose you and I keep it for a little secret?
6488That is the way it is done, is n''t it?"
6488The guy that goes under''even time''?"
6488The two men went out, whereupon Glass chattered:"W-- what did I tell you?
6488Then of Glass he inquired:"What do you do to him next?"
6488Then sensing the hesitation in her companion''s face:"Or perhaps you prefer to have Helen know the deceit you have practiced upon her?
6488Then she teased:"But you admit that my selection of a chaperon was excellent, do n''t you, Jack?"
6488Then spying Speed and his companion, she exclaimed:"Mr. Fresno has a fine voice, has n''t he?
6488Then, as Speed did not seem to be particularly pressed,"Do n''t you understand, Wally?
6488There was an instant''s silence before Stover inquired, with ominous restraint:"Who''s been monkeying with it?"
6488There''s a corral out where we race; you insist on running around it, see?
6488Till I catch up?"
6488Two human lives?
6488Understand?"
6488Understand?"
6488Was he humpbacked?"
6488Was this a miracle?
6488What can I do to relieve the congestion?"
6488What cruel jest of Fate was this?
6488What do you want to do-- win or lose?"
6488What heed would these nomads pay to Jack Chapin''s commands, once they learned the truth?
6488What in the deuce is the matter with you, anyhow?
6488What more could I do?"
6488What sort?"
6488What we want to know is this: can he win our phonograph?"
6488What''s all the excitement?"
6488What''s got into you, anyhow?"
6488What''s it worth?"
6488What''s on your mind?"
6488What''s the matter with you, anyhow?"
6488What''s the use?"
6488What''s to be done?"
6488What''s wrong with you as a chaperon, anyway?
6488Whatever possessed you, Wally?
6488When do we begin?"
6488When the trainer had waddled out of hearing, Mrs. Keap inquired, eagerly:"Have you heard from Culver?"
6488When they had gone, their benefactor said to Miss Blake:"Would n''t you like to make that a triple wedding?
6488When?"
6488Where did you have it last?"
6488Where does this fellow think he is?"
6488Where''s my protege?"
6488Where''s that bunk- house?
6488Which direction is New York?"
6488Who are you?"
6488Who is boss here, I''d like to know?"
6488Who is he?"
6488Who''d ever think that chorus- man was a killer?"
6488Who''s got a string?"
6488Who?"
6488Why did n''t you let me know?"
6488Why do n''t you get a Morris chair and a mandolin?"
6488Why should you do any squaring?
6488Why worry?"
6488Why?"
6488Willie thrust his head in through the open window, inquiring,"Well, how''s the breakfast goin''?"
6488With a knowledge confined mainly to live- stock, the foremen inquried:"How''s your laigs?
6488With an effort at restraint, the trainer inquired:"What''s the idea?"
6488Without an upward glance, Skinner inquired:"Did the man you trained for the Sheffield Handicap win?"
6488You are Mr. Gallagher, I believe?
6488You are not angry?"
6488You do n''t blame us for that?"
6488You know, I do n''t want to go over there?"
6488You like pie?"
6488You must have some part laid out for me?"
6488You was stringin''the gal, and she called you, eh?"
6488You wo n''t let Willie murder anybody, not even Berkeley, while the people are here, will you?"
6488You''ve heard about the phonograph?"
6488_ Three?_""Ca n''t you-- wire him?"
6488_ Three?_""Ca n''t you-- wire him?"
6488stuff?"
63389''Tain''t bad news, is it?
63389A colt?
63389A false charge?
63389A hoss, eh? 63389 A ranch?
63389After all, they could n''t separate us, could they?
63389Ai n''t you gettin''back from town early?
63389Ai n''t you got an awful lot of folks mixed up in that?
63389Ai n''t you herdin''them critters the wrong way, ma''am?
63389Ai n''t you the lady from Connecticut? 63389 All night?"
63389And Ludlum''s been gone out of here six weeks?
63389And now, Harry, how early in the morning can you be ready to start for Shoshone?
63389And pay him two dollars a day? 63389 And that''s what you think has happened to Rob?"
63389And where did you find, the hay? 63389 And you wo n''t see Garnett?
63389Another calf? 63389 Any chance to board at your place for a while, Holliday?"
63389Any one hurt? 63389 Anything we can do?
63389Apples, you said, did n''t you?
63389Are n''t those sheep?
63389Are n''t you going over to help Robinson?
63389Are n''t you ingenious, miss? 63389 Are we going to have money enough for all that,"Harry asked:"take up more land before we''ve got this planted?"
63389Are you going to take his word against mine? 63389 At Garnett?
63389Baled hay? 63389 Beef stew?"
63389Bobs, is that you?
63389Boykin? 63389 But how are we going to pay you?"
63389But what are we to do?
63389But what is she saying? 63389 But where do you keep the food and such things?
63389But why did n''t Mason come down to see you?
63389But why did n''t you take some land down here?
63389But why did they have to rush off so suddenly?
63389But why did they skin them?
63389But why did you have to keep it a secret?
63389But why have n''t they let us know they were here?
63389But wo n''t the cows and sheep get into the garden, spoil the hay or something?
63389But you could buy a few head, could n''t you?
63389But you''ll go down there and try to find something, wo n''t you?
63389But, Rob, where_ did_ Jones get Garnett''s horse? 63389 By the way, Garnett, how are we going?
63389Ca n''t something be done to stop him?
63389Ca n''t you folks sandwich those argyments in between the supper food? 63389 Ca n''t you hang me up this time?
63389Caught? 63389 Come in, wo n''t you?"
63389Could n''t you send one of the Robinson boys?
63389Did I say there was? 63389 Did n''t I gain anything?"
63389Did n''t happen to be Ludlum, did it?
63389Did n''t we, rather?
63389Did n''t we?
63389Did you bring in the horses?
63389Did you threaten to shoot Ludlum''s stock?
63389Different, eh?
63389Do n''t you get lonesome up in these hills, young lady?
63389Do n''t you know that we''d have to have a house to live in and a well? 63389 Do n''t you think we should round our critters up and count them?"
63389Do they think we''ve been stealing their critters?
63389Do we dare?
63389Do you really think there would be money in it?
63389Does anything ever happen out here, pleasant or otherwise?
63389Does he win, too?
63389Eh? 63389 For Rob and me for instance?"
63389For the land sakes, girlie,she exclaimed,"is it really you?
63389Foreclosed?
63389Got any fresh water there, Harry?
63389Had I?
63389Had he killed him?
63389Harry?... 63389 Has Boykin admitted he is Hunter, after all, or what?"
63389Have n''t they been doing pretty much the same, year after year?
63389Have they had the doctor, do you know?
63389Have you proved up yet?
63389He attacked another man?
63389He can ride, ca n''t he, Bobs?
63389He did n''t want to see me?
63389He is? 63389 He''s sold a good many of those he had here, has n''t he?"
63389Hello, what''s doing?
63389Hey?
63389Hey?
63389How about feedin''the critters?
63389How about the fellow that is working against us?
63389How can we?
63389How do you expect me to ranch without her to ride the fences for me, I''d like to know?
63389How do you like Idaho?
63389How do, Mr. Holliday? 63389 How do?
63389How ever did it happen, though?
63389How far is it? 63389 How in the world am I ever to go after a doctor?"
63389How long have you been here, if I may ask? 63389 How on earth did you know they''d gone?"
63389How soon are we going, Bobby?
63389How you know they''re yours?
63389How?
63389I ai n''t the only fella that takes a short cut through here, am I?
63389I appreciate it immensely; but what will your husband think?
63389I hope they''ve some children?
63389I hope you ai n''t a- cussing me still?
63389I suppose he''s here, is n''t he, waiting to take over my herd?
63389I suppose you know that this land has been filed on?
63389I think I ought to go over, do n''t you?
63389I wonder if you''ll do me a favor?
63389I wonder when Jones will get back?
63389I wonder whether Joe was hurt worse than they wanted to say,Rob remarked to Harry, and then called out,"Hi, there, Biane; need any help?
63389I wonder whether it was ours? 63389 If I were you, Mr. Jones, and you were I, and I saw you in this fix, do you know what I''d do?
63389If Joyce sees us on the road, wo n''t he suspect where we''re going?
63389In a free range country? 63389 Is Rob to home?"
63389Is it?
63389Is n''t there some other place near by?
63389Is that it? 63389 Is that so, Harry?"
63389Is that the Portugee girl you''re talking about?
63389Is there a house there or not, Garnett?
63389Is there time to put up another load before we eat?
63389Isita can go to school just the same, ca n''t she? 63389 It''s going to be pretty hard for you to make anything on your cattle this year, then, ai n''t it?
63389Jones, you mean? 63389 Just get in?"
63389Keep up the fire, wo n''t you?
63389Land sakes, girlie, go all that distance just to fetch me some salve? 63389 Long?
63389Ludlum? 63389 Me?
63389Mother sent me to ask you-- have you got something for a-- a cut? 63389 Name Hunter?"
63389Not a Mex?
63389Now if I were an architect and you had a million dollars to spend we''d show these old timers, would n''t we?
63389Now that we''re home, Miss Harry,she said,"could n''t I set the table for supper?
63389Now what can they want?
63389Now, Joe, I want first to know whether you are acting on the authority of your parents to control Isita during school hours?
63389Now, where''s your paper?
63389Oh, how?
63389Oh, will you really drive me?
63389Oh,he said slowly,"so you got along all right, did you?
63389Oh,she cried breathlessly,"you remember that herder you told not to come in here?
63389On the train?
63389One of those you were telling me he was keeping?
63389Only twenty- five a ton? 63389 Ought n''t the baby to have something more on?"
63389Our train?
63389Poachers?
63389Rob ai n''t to home?
63389Rob, do all the cowboys dress in that-- well, shabby sort of way?
63389Rob, who is that up there?
63389Rob-- who could have done it? 63389 Robert Holliday live here?"
63389Saving up to get you an auto?
63389Say, Rob,Garnett drawled,"ai n''t you ever heard of a man with one pet cow havin''her die on him?"
63389Say, Smoot,suggested Rob,"ca n''t you go over to Kenny''s and tell''em to send round a tray of grub?"
63389Say, you ai n''t alone, are you? 63389 Seen any strays round here, ma''am?"
63389Shall we make it eight o''clock in the morning, then?
63389So you got here at last, did you?
63389So you got here first?
63389Strays? 63389 That ai n''t all you''ve got, is it?"
63389That you, Holliday? 63389 That''s all right, but I do n''t see any lying round here, do you?"
63389That''s nice of him, is n''t it? 63389 The colts?
63389The doctor? 63389 Them men folks comin''?"
63389This Holliday''s ranch?
63389This all the beans you''ve got, sis?
63389This is a dinner party, you no savvy?
63389Thought what?
63389Tired?
63389Trained?
63389Want I should get you one?
63389Was he afoot?
63389Was that a cowboy, Rob?
63389We got the vilyan, but who''s the hero?
63389Well, anyhow, if they''re yours legally, why ca n''t you go down and prevent Grant from selling them?
63389Well, come to fetch me my dog?
63389Well, how did they know where to find them? 63389 What about Jones?
63389What can have happened? 63389 What cattle?"
63389What did I tell you?
63389What did you really expect?
63389What do I care for your''methods''? 63389 What do ye mean, Holliday, by keepin''this sister of yours hid out in these here hills all summer?"
63389What do you want, Isita, dear?
63389What is it, Isita?
63389What is it, boy?
63389What is it? 63389 What is it?"
63389What is it?
63389What more I need? 63389 What must Bobby think of me?"
63389What on earth do you want Biane''s girl here for?
63389What right have outsiders to ship stock in here? 63389 What rules give you the claim on any of us to go your errands?"
63389What were they doing here?
63389What''ll be finished?
63389What''s a''Mex''?
63389What''s happened to these scrub cows?
63389What''s happened, Isita?
63389What''s happened?
63389What''s he goin''to do here, anyhow?
63389What''s that about Scotchmen?
63389What''s that to you? 63389 What''s that to you?"
63389What''s that? 63389 What''s the herd law got to do with lettin''the sheep in?
63389What''s the hurry?
63389What''s the matter now? 63389 What''s the matter?"
63389What''s the reason they ca n''t ship baled hay in here?
63389What''s the reason they will?
63389What''s the use of talking like that? 63389 What?
63389What?
63389What_ is_ he talking about?
63389When did the cow get out?
63389When did you get in?
63389Where do you want''em?
63389Where shall we put the house? 63389 Where''d you get that pup?"
63389Where''s the ink, Harry?
63389Who saw me shooting?
63389Who takes care of them?
63389Who took them? 63389 Who you hatin''so hard?"
63389Who''s filed on it?
63389Who''s that coming?
63389Who''s that?
63389Who''s that?
63389Who''s that?
63389Who''s the scissorbill you fellows been listenin''to? 63389 Who?"
63389Whose cattle are they?
63389Whose horses are those?
63389Why are they so unfriendly? 63389 Why ca n''t he stick where he is until we get there?
63389Why could n''t I have kept her here?
63389Why could n''t they drive their cattle down there? 63389 Why did n''t her mother want her to come?"
63389Why did n''t you come back the next day and ask my brother about your horse?
63389Why do n''t you get a bigger herd to start with?
63389Why do you offer it if it''s so big? 63389 Why does n''t she come first?
63389Why have n''t you taken it up before?
63389Why not kill them?
63389Why not? 63389 Why not?
63389Why not?
63389Why on earth did n''t you send some of these things to the county fair last fall?
63389Why should he? 63389 Why you not tell miss how much you like to work, eh?"
63389Why, is n''t it just as cheap to make a lace veil as a flour sack? 63389 Why, my little lady, do you think your herd law is going to keep us stockmen, with thousands of critters to feed, out of these hills?
63389Why, what do you mean?
63389Will dinner be ready by twelve, sis?
63389Will you leave a little package at the Robinsons''for me? 63389 Will you open the gate for me?"
63389With one cow or with credit?
63389With steers selling at thirty and calves at fifteen, and me with only three hundred cash in the bank? 63389 Wo n''t you come down to the house now and talk to Rob?"
63389Would n''t the young lady like a chair?
63389Would n''t twenty- five make it up to you? 63389 Would n''t you like to put this on?
63389Yes?
63389You ai n''t got no horses of your own here that mine could ha''got in with?
63389You ai n''t likin''it real well, are you?
63389You an agent for the Twin Falls''tract?
63389You are n''t going up there?
63389You ca n''t be sure that these fellows will not find out; and if you can say that-- see?
63389You can hang on a while, ca n''t you, until Rob gets back? 63389 You do n''t charge for drinks now, account of the new fixings, do you?"
63389You do n''t know where your brother''s homestead is, do you?
63389You have n''t heard the bank''s busted?
63389You heard me, eh? 63389 You personally acquainted-- that is, you know Ludlum?"
63389You see? 63389 You think we can do it?"
63389You want me to post this?
63389You was n''t cal''latin''to make them into a pie without bilin''''em first? 63389 You wish to speak to me?"
63389You''ll never forgive that, will you?
63389You''re from the East, then?
63389You-- you wo n''t come back at night?
63389You? 63389 Your brother down at the tent yonder?"
63389Yours?
63389--You reckon you could take me with''em, with them dishes, break me in with''em for yours?...
63389A playhouse?"
63389About how old is he?"
63389After all, what was the use of breaking into his morning''s toil with her story?
63389Ai n''t I seen you before?"
63389Ai n''t I seen''em back home on the spare- room bed?
63389Ai n''t it kind of sudden that you''ve found that out?
63389Ai n''t that right, Pa?"
63389Ai n''t we starved all summer?
63389Ai n''t you got it a little wet, mebbe?"
63389Ai n''t you got no canned goods?"
63389Ai n''t you putting it pretty strong?"
63389And Garnett?
63389And how can we ever round''em up again?"
63389And if we''re not the kind of people you want round here, if you do n''t like us, why do you come up here?
63389And if,"she added to herself as he rounded the butte,"if we ca n''t get hay-- what then?"
63389And where is Jones now?
63389And your hay?
63389Anything happened to him?"
63389Anything in particular you''d like, Miss Holliday?"
63389Anything that Rob might have said would have sounded like a reproach, and of what use, he thought, would that have been now?
63389Are n''t they awful?
63389Are n''t we?"
63389Are you dead certain?
63389Are you onto your job, sis?"
63389At how much?"
63389Beans, Jones?
63389But I''m not going to give up now, would you?"
63389But do n''t you want to eat your own suppers?"
63389But have n''t I been making wages haying and harvesting, besides what I had in the bank?"
63389But how soon can we find out?"
63389But if he did n''t do it, who did?
63389But the scrubs-- was that the way scrubs always looked?
63389But what could be expected when he had lived so long among these rough Westerners?
63389Ca n''t you see that your profit is in standing with us?
63389Can I help?"
63389Can one of the boys tend the stock while I''m gone?
63389Can you send to town for me?"
63389Come in, wo n''t you?"
63389Come on, then?"
63389Could he have had a sunstroke?
63389Could he not take even that small number without saying"if"?
63389Could he?
63389Could it have been hunters camping up above?"
63389Could n''t they send him a wife to keep his house along with the rest of it?"
63389Did he get the six months he deserved?"
63389Did n''t I live in the sheep wagon, too, for a year, until we got ahead enough to build us a shack?
63389Did n''t I ride clear to Shoshone once behind a wagonload of them''sportsmen,''a gun in my fist ready to drop the first guy that lifted his eyebrow?
63389Did n''t Ludlum prove it when he tried to sneak your homestead away from you?
63389Did n''t he tell you?"
63389Did n''t my brother tell you not to feed down here?
63389Did she?"
63389Did the heifers go, too?"
63389Did you bring that bill of sale?"
63389Did you get enough to pay Ludlum?"
63389Did you get hay?"
63389Did you hear that, Ludlum?
63389Did you say you had the garlic in those beans?
63389Did you want anything special?"
63389Do n''t you see?
63389Do you dare?"
63389Do you know when he went out?"
63389Do you know when he''ll be home?"
63389Do you think I would steal?"
63389Do you think they were stolen?"
63389Eh?
63389Eh?"
63389Eh?"
63389Eh?"
63389Ever hear the Robinsons tell about that winter, you two?"
63389Fine neighbors, were n''t they?
63389For the winter, you mean?"
63389Forty miles by wagon?
63389Goin''to card and quilt it yourself?"
63389Got here safely, did you?"
63389Got your traps?
63389Had she only imagined that other sound?
63389Had the pony stumbled and thrown him?
63389Harry was wondering whether she ought to tell Garnett that Rob was in jail, when his voice made her start guiltily:"Your brother been gone long?"
63389Has she actually escaped?"
63389Has your mother persuaded your father?"
63389Have any trouble getting through?"
63389Have n''t sold out, have you?"
63389Have you, now?"
63389He glanced at Harriet and said quick and low to Rob:"Can I speak to you?"
63389He started out after the cow-- You did n''t hear of her, did you?"
63389He''ll be there until then, wo n''t he?
63389Hear that?
63389Hello, that you, Doc?
63389Hey?"
63389His derisive grin widened; he looked at the calf and inquired,"Lost another critter, have you?"
63389Holliday did n''t tell you that, did he?
63389Holliday?"
63389Holliday?"
63389Homestead?
63389Honest, now?
63389Horses, you mean?"
63389How about it?"
63389How can I ever do it?"
63389How can you let it go so cheap?"
63389How could she go into the story here, at this time of night?
63389How could they hide so quickly without flying?
63389How did his case come out?
63389How did you get out?
63389How do I know?
63389How do we know that Ludlum is n''t paying that fellow to stand out against the herd law?"
63389How do you know?"
63389How do you like it?"
63389How is your hand this morning?"
63389How many hundred of barley and wheat and oats will it take to winter the stock on, I wonder?"
63389How much you need?"
63389How much, child?"
63389How would that appeal to a haying crew?
63389How''ll you know whether there''s herders with''em or not?"
63389How-- I thought-- Don''t the Eldredges live here?"
63389Howdy, Joyce?
63389I do n''t quite see how, do you?"
63389I suppose I must go by way of Soldier?"
63389I wonder what he changed his name for?
63389I wonder whether anything can be wrong-- whether he arrested Jones?"
63389I''ll bet right now you wanted to put that extra cash into beef, did n''t you?
63389I''ll bet you did n''t cal''late to hit the hard pan when you come, neither?"
63389If you ca n''t remember, how do you expect me to?"
63389In profound silence the earth waited; for what?
63389In this hot sun?"
63389Is Isita here?"
63389Is Mr. Ludlum round?"
63389Is it safe to go away like this and leave it all open?"
63389Is n''t he?"
63389Is n''t she the best, though?
63389Is n''t that what you''ve been wanting?"
63389Is n''t there a law against trespassing now, and against shooting out of season?"
63389Is n''t this horrible?"
63389Is there a shack near by where we can live?"
63389Is there any message you wish to leave?"
63389Is your father here?"
63389It was comin''up in the train, was n''t it?
63389It''ll take more''n losing a bunch of stock to make you knock under, wo n''t it?
63389It''s all right, ai n''t it?"
63389It''s kind of mean to ask a fellow to onhitch, but there''s accidents happen to all of us, ai n''t there?"
63389It''s nearly midnight, do you know it?
63389Joe all right this morning?"
63389Jones did n''t tell that fellow exactly where they were, did he?"
63389Just east of you?
63389Just move them along the fence so I can count them, will you?"
63389Lay the young one down and get it for me, will you?"
63389Like''s not Ludlum''d try to help you locate your stock; he''s right helpful, mebbe you''ve noticed?
63389Little girl?"
63389Of course anything that Rob took an interest in was all right; but_ why did he keep it a secret from her_?
63389Ought she not to have ignored everything outside of Isita''s actual school work?
63389Our springs were never known to fail, now, were they?
63389Portugee Joe?
63389Put me up a lunch, will you, sis, while I''m saddling the pony?"
63389Remember?"
63389Robinson?"
63389Say,"she added,"you could n''t stay a week and cook for me while these boys are here, could you?"
63389See that tent up there?"
63389See?"
63389Shall I start breaking them in now?"
63389She was silent a moment; then, curiosity overcoming her reserve, she asked,"Have you any idea how much farther it is to Shoshone?"
63389So you''re homesteadin'', are you?
63389So, instead of telling Rob about Garnett, she said,"That''s a pretty good pony, is n''t it?
63389So,''Sita?"
63389Suppose that sorrel horse should prove to have the ring- and- arrow brand?
63389Suppose they should run away?
63389That so, Sally Gardner?
63389That?"
63389The hogs down bothering you again?
63389The silhouette of a horseman showed against the sky, and a voice called,"This Holliday''s?"
63389The way Jones happened to have him was this: You remember Garnett said he''d lost him?
63389Then whar''ll you be?"
63389Then you have n''t a real farm?"
63389There was something familiar to her in his dark- eyed face; and when he said,"Is Mr. Holliday here?
63389There''s a good twenty- five skins in the bunch, and you did n''t lose more''n a dozen critters all told, did you?"
63389There''s been no horse stealing round here since that gang was rounded up last spring-- just when you came, you remember?
63389This time of night?"
63389Those your cows down yonder?"
63389To herself she added,"Who are you, anyhow?"
63389Too late for you to be chasin''back there alone to- night, ai n''t it, ma?"
63389Was it a regular stock buyer or a rancher?"
63389Was it his standing by them in all their difficulties that had helped his prophetic words come true?
63389Was it only two months ago that she had followed the same road into the unknown, curious and interested as a child?
63389Was it really another day?
63389Was it really fear of the coming winter that was driving the Bianes away?
63389Was n''t it by coming over to bring me that bill that you found out all about Boykin Hunter and the chance to contest his filing?"
63389Was n''t that all right, you''ll say?
63389Were n''t you lonely?"
63389Were they going to be caught now?
63389What are you doing up here at this time of year, anyhow?
63389What can he do?"
63389What could be keeping him?
63389What did Raeburn say?"
63389What did he mean by saying"of course"she wanted to save the calf?
63389What difference does that make?"
63389What do you mean, Rob Holliday?
63389What do you want?"
63389What does it all mean?
63389What does the doctor say?"
63389What good is Ludlum''s good will going to do you?
63389What has happened to you, dear?
63389What has happened?
63389What has he to do with it?"
63389What is he saying?"
63389What is it?
63389What is it?"
63389What is she afraid of?"
63389What must I do?
63389What on earth for?
63389What ought she to do?
63389What should I do for clothes and things?
63389What sort of a looking fellow is he?"
63389What time did you want to start?"
63389What time does your train leave?"
63389What was the name of that old skinflint?"
63389What will Jones say when he finds those colts are gone?
63389What will that mean, Rob?"
63389What will you do with your stock?
63389What would any one start shooting up a herd at night for?
63389What you doin''out here alone?
63389What''s doin''?"
63389What''s doin''here?"
63389What''s started you off?
63389What''s that?
63389What''s the complaint now?"
63389What''s the use of Rob''s goin''for the mail so often if he do n''t pick up the home- brewed news that''s layin''out in the street over to Soldier?"
63389What''s the use of all this talkin''?
63389What''s the use of buying hay, of getting in any deeper, if we''re not sure of our grazing every year?
63389What, Harry asked herself, could Rob do singlehanded against that inert opponent?
63389What, she wondered, had Mrs. Robinson done for a pantry when she had started housekeeping in her one- room"shack"?
63389When Biane skipped the country, did n''t that turn my hundred tons back on me?
63389When all was complete and they stood off to take a final view of the table, Isita said quietly,"That''s the way it looks for Thanksgiving, ai n''t it?
63389When did you come?
63389Where are you going?"
63389Where are you going?"
63389Where are you heading for up here alone?"
63389Where do we go?"
63389Where is she?"
63389Where''d we be ourselves?"
63389Where''s Joyce now?"
63389Where''s Rob at?
63389Where''s he at?"
63389Where''s your brother at?"
63389Which is the shortest way to Hailey?
63389Who could keep house without a pantry?
63389Who is it?"
63389Who that had heard could forget?
63389Who would not be-- owner of 160 acres, and master of his own toil?
63389Who''d steal a few blankets and grub?
63389Who''s got the best right to it-- them capitalists, or us?
63389Who?"
63389Why could n''t you come over and help me at haying and harvesting?
63389Why did n''t Isita tell me before?
63389Why did n''t you bring him along to prove all this?"
63389Why do n''t you keep your forty?"
63389Why does n''t he come and take care of his own stock?"
63389Why is n''t it just as cheap to make a pretty cottage of the same amount of wood?"
63389Why not stay overnight?"
63389Why not?"
63389Why should she feel guilty because Rob was concealing something from her?
63389Why they''re the stuff it''s made of, are n''t they?
63389Why was there no way of getting part of that feed on the prairie?
63389Why were you always so poor?
63389Why, did n''t she go to shootin''at me with a rifle the other day because I''d clumb over their fence to pick up a grouse I''d winged?
63389Why, how''s that?
63389Why, what do you live in now?"
63389Why?
63389Why?"
63389Why?"
63389Will you, dear?
63389Wo n''t you come in?"
63389Wo n''t you see Garnett?
63389Would Rob, down in the Snake River country where the weather was still warm, remember that up in the hills winter was very near?
63389Would he go back to raisin''one calf on a bottle?
63389Would it be possible?"
63389Would n''t I make all kinds of money?"
63389You are n''t going to start out to- day?
63389You are n''t mad at him any longer?"
63389You can live in a tent for a while, ca n''t you?"
63389You could n''t look, could you, girlie?
63389You do n''t for a moment think he would, do you?"
63389You do n''t think she would object, do you, Isita?"
63389You do n''t want her to die, do you?"
63389You getting off there?
63389You goin''to stick it out the three years?"
63389You heard that, did you?"
63389You know I would of, do n''t you?"
63389You know what he''d ought to have done?
63389You need groceries, do n''t you?"
63389You onderstand?
63389You reckon you could----""What, Chris?"
63389You remember, do n''t you?"
63389You say your brother is staying over in Hailey to talk things over with Judge Raeburn?
63389You see those hills we''re climbing up to?
63389You take that off,''Sita, d''you hear?"
63389You up?"
63389You wa''n''t raised out here, I judge, ma''am?"
63389You''ll need all you bought for your own stock, wo n''t you?"
63389You''re all beat out,''ai n''t you?
63389You''re easy, ai n''t you?"
63389You''re going into stock, are you?
63389You''re kinda mean, too, ai n''t you?"
63389You''re not wintering here?
63389You''ve been over it?"
63389You''ve had good luck?"
63389Your renters have quit, have n''t they?
63389|||+-------------------------------------------------+ HOMESTEAD RANCH[ Illustration:"TIRED?"
9791A German? 9791 A bomb?"
9791A kind man like Campbell?
9791A kind man?
9791A pretty man? 9791 A raft?
9791A raft?
9791After that we''ll talk over the details, sir?
9791Ah, Miss Malone,said the clerk, nodding,"before she left--""Left?"
9791Ah,said McTee,"you were clever enough for that?"
9791Ah- h, McTee, are ye dark inside and out? 9791 Ai n''t he doin''two men''s work still?"
9791Am I no longer the boss of my engine room? 9791 Am I that?
9791An''what if we wer- r- re, I''m askin''?
9791An''what if we were, Misther McTee?
9791An''why were ye sittin''prayin''for fire with the gir- rl thremblin''and freezin''to death in yer ar- rms if ye knew so well how to be makin''one?
9791An''you did n''t break?
9791And Harrigan?
9791And I''m to do the cheering up?
9791And can you send me over?
9791And how the devil will we bring the_ Heron_ to land without an engineer?
9791And maybe your hand, sir?
9791And no quarter?
9791And that is why you go ahead with your schemes to torture Harrigan, certain that when he is finished I will be helpless?
9791And that''s why you did n''t finish me?
9791And then set green logs afloat? 9791 And what the hell is wrong with the red- headed man now?"
9791And when we strike at the mutineers-- if Harrigan falls, will you absolve me of his death, Kate?
9791And you can not tell me what the danger is?
9791And you, sir?
9791And you?
9791And?
9791Angus, would you stop if you knew I loved him?
9791Another?
9791Are ye drunk at the sight of the money, man?
9791Are ye playin''with me, Kate? 9791 Are you after givin''yourself away to the law?"
9791Are you coming up?
9791As strong for it as Harrigan? 9791 At least,"went on the bos''n easily,"think it over, chief, and while you''re thinkin'', what d''you say to a drop of the real stuff?"
9791At your expense?
9791Been seein''ghosts?
9791Boys,he pleaded,"are you goin''to let one stranger ball up our game?
9791But how can we cook them? 9791 But if no ship comes, then we''ll draw straws, eh?"
9791But she has n''t cut your hair yet, McTee?
9791But there''s none of us would turn our backs on the long green?
9791But why the room of the girl?
9791Can they do anything worse to him than they''re doing to us?
9791Cargo? 9791 Civilized?"
9791Could n''t you hear her when she talked to me?
9791Could n''t you see her face? 9791 Could they not?"
9791Could you make up a false message?
9791Crazy?
9791D''you call this clean?
9791D''you mean to say that Henshaw blew up those boats-- an''his ship still in the middle of the Pacific?
9791D''you mean to say that you''d try your hellwork on a kind man like Campbell?
9791D''you really think I''m crazy enough to eat one of these?
9791D''you see now? 9791 Dan, I trust you to cheer him up; but you''ll not speak of me?"
9791Did he try his fists?
9791Did you find it on top of the hill, lad?
9791Did you knock?
9791Did you say that?
9791Do I hear ye?
9791Do I hear you right? 9791 Do I know it?
9791Do I like him? 9791 Do n''t you hear?"
9791Do n''t you see? 9791 Do you know me?"
9791Do you like him so much?
9791Do you mean to say they make you work with your hands in this condition?
9791Do you mean to say they''ve started to treat you as they did on the_ Mary Rogers_? 9791 Do you mind?"
9791Do you really refuse to speak those words to the captain after he has been generous enough to give you a last chance to make a man of yourself?
9791Do you say nothing, Harrigan?
9791Do you think so?
9791Do you understand?
9791Do you?
9791Does n''t this prove what I told you?
9791For a woman?
9791For you, Kate?
9791Go inside an''let''em rush the wireless house?
9791Good?
9791Harrigan is doing a fine piece of work for me; shall I let him go to the fireroom to swing a shovel?
9791Harrigan, what do you mean?
9791Harrigan,he said quietly,"did Kate tell you she loved me?"
9791Harrigan?
9791Have you the right to doubt me?
9791Have you?
9791He tried all the way from Honolulu?
9791He''s gone off by himself again?
9791Hovey, are you bound for the loincloth an''the beaches, like the rest?
9791How are you, Klopp?
9791How are you, Klopp?
9791How can you carry the fire?
9791How could you set me free?
9791How did this happen?
9791How do you know he''s an old fool, eh? 9791 How old would you say that wine was?"
9791How''d you happen to miss out with the Irishman, Jerry?
9791How''ll you do it?
9791I beg your pardon?
9791I could do all that I''ve said, but why should I waste you on a prison when there''s a chance that I can use for myself? 9791 I suppose you watched''em being laid, Harrigan?"
9791I suppose,said McTee, and his teeth clicked after each word like the bolt of a rifle shot home,"I suppose that you were laughing at me?"
9791I will promise you anything-- but why not speak of it at once? 9791 I''m a dog, am I?"
9791I''m not a pretty lad to look at, eh, lad?
9791If I went to her and told her how you boasted of having won her?
9791If he is such a terrible character, why did you let him come aboard your ship?
9791If you knew what would happen when we met, why did you come? 9791 If you will not fight, I''ll-- I''ll be kind to you, I''ll be everything you ask of me--""You''re pleading for him?"
9791In the name of God,said McTee, deeply shaken,"why do you speak of that?
9791Is it at your expense that I''ve been sittin''here breakin''me heart with singin''love tunes for you an''the girl?
9791Is it not well, McTee? 9791 Is it safe?"
9791Is that a fair question, Kate? 9791 Is there anything we can do,"she broke in hurriedly,"to get away from the island?"
9791Is this what you wanted protection against? 9791 Is this,"thought McTee,"the Shark of the South Seas?"
9791Kate, would you ask a tree to promise to avoid the lightning?
9791Lad, do you think ghosts have power?
9791Lies, are they?
9791Love songs for_ me?_he repeated incredulously.
9791Man to man-- fair and square?
9791McTee, are ye ready? 9791 Move our fire?"
9791No?
9791Not a single woman?
9791Notice my language now? 9791 Oh,"she murmured; then:"And if I send them away?"
9791On your cargo?
9791Pity? 9791 Prayin''?"
9791Really?
9791Really?
9791Really?
9791Reward?
9791Shall I call him up here and ask him to say them now?
9791So that they can get out and tell the land sharks what we''ve done?
9791So tonight is the last night of Harrigan, eh?
9791So you''re the mutineer, my fine buck?
9791So,he murmured,"you''ve heard of the mutiny?"
9791Stayin''in town long?
9791Suppose the little-- er-- experiment fails? 9791 Take you for my master an''swear to forget what you''ve done?"
9791Teach McTee manners? 9791 Tell me first, are you with us?"
9791That would be a strange death, eh, McTee-- to burn in the middle of the sea with a ship full of gold?
9791That''s final?
9791The girl?
9791The man of the red hair?
9791The old grind, eh, Harrigan?
9791The palms of your hands, lad, are they raw? 9791 The way of the rest?"
9791Then very bad?
9791They''ve tackled you already?
9791This is to the finish?
9791To lead the mutiny?
9791Two? 9791 Was n''t it plain?
9791We hear there was once some trouble between you and Harrigan?
9791Weak lungs? 9791 Well, captain?"
9791Well, then, what is it you want to know?
9791Well? 9791 Well?"
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791Well?
9791What about the old fool who prophesied that you''d die by fire at sea?
9791What can we do?
9791What d''you mean?
9791What d''you say, Angus?
9791What devil keeps putting that in your brain? 9791 What did it all mean?"
9791What do you mean, Harrigan?
9791What does he see?
9791What does it mean, Angus?
9791What does it mean?
9791What have you been doing?
9791What is it?
9791What manner of man is he, Dan? 9791 What news?"
9791What oath could I swear that you''d believe?
9791What of Harrigan? 9791 What of it?"
9791What order?
9791What proof do you want?
9791What record? 9791 What shall we do with him?"
9791What should I mean except what I said?
9791What sort of an old boy is the captain?
9791What the deuce is up?
9791What the devil do you mean?
9791What the devil has McTee to do with this?
9791What was written there?
9791What will ye hae?
9791What work?
9791What ye laughin''at?
9791What you both heard?
9791What''re you?
9791What''s happened in the forecastle?
9791What''s happened, sir?
9791What''s the cause of the disturbance, officer?
9791What''s the main idea?
9791What''s the mystery, captain? 9791 What?
9791What?
9791What?
9791What?
9791What?
9791When does the game begin?
9791Where is he?
9791Where is it?
9791Where shall I bunk, captain?
9791Where was it?
9791Where you goin''?
9791Where''s the chief''s cabin?
9791While I and Kate danced?
9791White Henshaw?
9791Who are us?
9791Who called you?
9791Who the devil is Harrigan?
9791Who told you to enter without knocking?
9791Who?
9791Why did n''t you tell me?
9791Why do you keep the whip over him, Angus? 9791 Why do you watch me so closely?"
9791Why is that so impossible? 9791 Why not take this up an''help yourselves-- after you''ve given us Henshaw?"
9791Why not?
9791Why should I blame him?
9791Why, captain,murmured Kate,"you ca n''t live on shellfish?"
9791Will you do something for me, Dan?
9791Will you give me your promise as an honest man to try to avoid a fight with him?
9791Will you never trust me, Angus?
9791Would that make any difference?
9791Would you bet on me against Black McTee?
9791Would you both leave me?
9791Would you do that? 9791 Would you take on McTee again?
9791Would you waste much tune if somethin''was to happen to him-- say in the middle of the night, silent and unexpected?
9791Yes, this trip, but what about the next? 9791 Yes- s.""Even if they was to tie you up an''feed you the lash?
9791Yes?
9791You ai n''t got much reason for standing in with White Henshaw?
9791You beat me?
9791You ca n''t expect a slip of a girl to be calling a black man like_ you_ by the front name?
9791You ca n''t hear it?
9791You damn him, do you? 9791 You know Harrigan''s record?"
9791You know each other pretty well, eh?
9791You remember Samson''s death, Beatrice? 9791 You saw to that, McTee?"
9791You see that color? 9791 You sent Harrigan down to the hole because he''s considered a hard man to handle, eh?"
9791You think Henshaw blew up the boats so not one of the crew could escape?
9791You understand? 9791 You wo n''t fail me?"
9791You''d have fought''em all, eh, lad?
9791You''d let him die among you-- for fear of an old man and his wretched revolver?
9791You''d like to have me finish what you began?
9791You''ve promised me not to speak--"Did you promise him not to speak with me again?
9791Your ship?
9791A man Harrigan will toiler ought to be good enough for the rest, eh?"
9791A man do ye call yourself?
9791After I''ve slaved for ye an''saved ye from God knows what, ye dare to turn and make them eyes cold and distant when ye look at me?
9791Am I a rat?
9791Am I a sneak?
9791Am I right, McTee?"
9791Am I right?"
9791And I have a cap, some silk shirts, a loose coat which you might wear-- so?"
9791And how fasten''em together, even supposing we could burn them down and drag them to the water?
9791And how he pulled the house down on the shoulders of his enemies?"
9791And how would you cut down the trees to make it?"
9791And why?
9791And will you promise me during that time that you will not fly at each other''s throats the moment you are out of my sight?
9791Angus, what did Dan mean?"
9791Angus, will you forgive me?"
9791Any congratulations?"
9791Ar- r- re ye wise?"
9791Are there no other men in the whole world?"
9791Are ye tryin''to torment me, or do ye really care for McTee?"
9791Are you a mutineer or not?"
9791Are you badly hurt?"
9791Are you feeling fit?"
9791Are you for fighting it out?"
9791Are you goin''to start doubtin''me on his say- so?"
9791Are you going out to hunt for McTee in that black mood?"
9791Are you taking water, Harrigan?"
9791Are you wise?"
9791Are you with me?"
9791Are you with us?''
9791At four bells?"
9791Black McTee?"
9791But I, Kate-- your head is turned; do you hear me?"
9791But McTee?
9791But how could we kindle a fire?"
9791But is she not worth it?
9791But what if we get off the island-- there''s small chance of it, but what if we should?
9791But why do you want me?
9791But will you tell me why he''s ridin''you?"
9791CHAPTER 14 Afterward he inquired, frowning:"Where''s McTee?
9791CHAPTER 15"Is this what you feared?"
9791CHAPTER 28"She''s dead?"
9791Ca n''t I?
9791Ca n''t ye see that gir- rl''s been eatin''out her hear- rt for the love av ye, damn your eyes?
9791Ca n''t ye see that the only thing that keeps her from throwin''her ar- rms around your neck is the fear of Harrigan?
9791Ca n''t you be reasonable?"
9791Can there be such a place?"
9791Can we hold them in case of a mutiny?"
9791Can you do it?"
9791Can you find the rest of the way?"
9791Can you tell, Harrigan, whether or not they''re fresh?"
9791Can you trust me to lead her that one step?
9791Can you understand?"
9791Civilized?
9791D''ye hear me, McTee?"
9791D''ye hear?
9791D''you expect to find cool breezes in the South Seas?
9791D''you hear?
9791D''you mean to say you''ve forgotten me?"
9791Dan muttered to himself as he climbed the bridge:"Did she do that to anger McTee or to please me?"
9791Did n''t you hear me talk?"
9791Did ye see that murtherin''dog smash the mouth of that Jap when he had n''t the strength to lift his head?
9791Do I have to be whispered to?
9791Do n''t I see hellfire in the dark?
9791Do n''t I see the same flames, blue and thin, dancing in the light of the sun at midday?
9791Do n''t you feel it?"
9791Do n''t you see that a man who is capable of planning a wholesale murder in the night would be quite able to lie to you?
9791Do n''t you see?
9791Do n''t you see?
9791Do we break him between us?"
9791Do you know his rhymes, lad?"
9791Do you think I''m fool enough to make a martyr of him?
9791Do you understand that?
9791Does n''t Harrigan want to be with you?"
9791Does n''t it occur to you that that message might be written out and sent to Campbell?"
9791Does that help any?"
9791Does that sound as if I had enough backing?"
9791Eh, Harrigan?"
9791Even if we sight a tramp, how''ll we signal her?"
9791Get me?"
9791Ha, have I never lived?
9791Ha?"
9791Had you thought of that, captain?"
9791Harrigan muttered after a moment of thought:"I suppose this is mutiny, bos''n?"
9791Have the officers many revolvers?"
9791Have you been waiting long for me to come, lad?"
9791Have you made any complaint?"
9791Have you noticed the fellows who are in this crew?"
9791He answered vaguely:"Beg his pardon?"
9791He bled from mouth and nose, but what was any other pain compared with the torture of his clenched fists?
9791He drew a breath and stiffened in his chair, then with a gesture of apology and a smile he added:"Why should I hunt for pompous words?
9791He gasped:"You have known all the time?"
9791He paused and pointed a gaunt, trembling arm at McTee:"D''you understand?
9791He said:"You know the record of Harrigan?"
9791He turned to the sailor who had first raised the question:"Money?
9791He''s not all brute; why does he treat you like this?"
9791Henshaw answered coldly:"There''s no need for us to act the hypocrite, eh?"
9791Henshaw has put you in his school, and now you''re about to graduate, eh?
9791Henshaw scowled:"What do you mean?"
9791How about you, John?
9791How am I to know you''re not a German, my friend?
9791How do any of you know the bos''n ai n''t feelin''you out for the skipper he''s sailed with ten years?"
9791I can stand it here on the rim of the world-- but in the world itself-- what then, Harrigan?"
9791I say the lad has been put through hell and sha n''t go back to it, do you hear me?"
9791If I beat you, will you swear to follow me, to do my bidding?
9791If I find you''ve been playing with me, it''ll mean death for Harrigan, and worse than that for you?"
9791In looking at Harrigan, the question was:"What will he become?"
9791In looking at McTee, one asked:"What is he?"
9791In one more day-- or maybe two at the most-- we''ll come an''get you-- understand?
9791In the meantime his guests would require what?
9791Is he getting the eyes of the lads too much?"
9791Is it the girl?"
9791Is n''t it in mine all the day and all the night?
9791Is not that a man''s work?"
9791Is that the right dope?"
9791Is the black av your eye the same as the soot in your heart?"
9791Is the lye of the suds cool to them?"
9791Is the thing ever out of my mind?
9791Is there any reason why both of us should go aboard it?"
9791Is there no discipline?
9791Is there nothing in my superstitions?
9791It may be, captain, that this message is bad luck for me, eh?"
9791It took you a little longer to settle the details in your mind, eh?"
9791It was when I talked with Hovey in front of this cabin?"
9791It''s dead white, is n''t it?"
9791Maybe a ship''ll pass and see us lyin''like a derelict and put a boat aboard, eh?"
9791Maybe you know what Henshaw is?
9791McTee, d''you know aught of the power of a woman''s love?"
9791McTee, will ye do the like?"
9791Me?
9791Me?"
9791Men were made strong so that a stronger man should be their master; and women--""And women, Angus?"
9791Now that we are here on the island, we begin all over again and forget what happened on the ship?"
9791Now this message, my lad-- you could n''t have made any mistake in receiving it?
9791Now when you see Kate, you''ll feel me grin in the background mockin''ye, eh?"
9791Now, Harrigan, what d''you mean?
9791One of them, larger than the rest and with a bristling, shoebrush mustache like a sign of authority, said to the newcomer:"You''re Harrigan?"
9791Opinion now very hopeful._"Will that bring the old boy around for a while?"
9791Perhaps a bath first?
9791Perhaps sleep?
9791Shall I tell him to come with us?"
9791Shall I tell you what really happened when you met Kate?
9791Shall we search for him?"
9791She cried with increasing anger:"What can I do?"
9791She pondered:"No love, no friendship, not even pity to bring you close to a single human being all your life?"
9791She rose and cried:"Why have you both thought from the first that I must choose between you?
9791She said:"You are in trouble, Angus?"
9791She was remembering what Harrigan had said:"How to stop McTee?
9791Slave driver?
9791Sloan crowded in between Harrigan and McTee; his voice was a slavering murmur:"For pity''s sake, boys, what we going to do?"
9791So let''s burn her letter between us, eh?"
9791So we''ll hang around close, lads, and the minute Kamasura opens his face to say the wrong thing, we''ll rush''em-- are you with me?
9791Speak out, lads; d''you want to die like these two are goin''to die, or will you turn over Henshaw-- who needs killin''?"
9791Suppose you take this message, eh?
9791The one McTee told you?
9791The scrubbing and then the work in the fireroom?"
9791The way we made that fire was to--""The way_ we_ made it?"
9791Then I''m very important?"
9791Then start him scrubbing the bridge and send him down to the fireroom afterwards, eh?"
9791Then what would happen?
9791Then you must learn from me?"
9791Then:"Did n''t we pass the sign of the British consul down the street over that little building?"
9791There''s something between you and the Irishman?"
9791They get more credit that way for the cure, eh?"
9791They say McTee tried his damnedest to break you?"
9791This is frank talk, eh?
9791Today there''s hell inside me, understand?
9791Understand?
9791Was it because of-- her?"
9791Was it wrong of me, Dan?
9791Were you put on this ship to keep dinning the idea into my ears?
9791What am I laughing about?
9791What are you saying?"
9791What brought you to me?"
9791What did I care?
9791What did they say?"
9791What difference did a few hundred pieces here or there matter?
9791What do I get, lads, if I open this one?"
9791What do they want?
9791What do you say, McTee?"
9791What do you say?"
9791What does Bobbie say?
9791What does Bobbie say?"
9791What does it mean?"
9791What else could I do?
9791What have they got lined up for me?"
9791What is it?"
9791What made you hitch up with swine like them?
9791What shall I do, Dan?"
9791What then?"
9791What was the result?
9791What''s it goin''to be, Harrigan?
9791What''s the secret you''re laughing about?"
9791What?
9791What?"
9791Whatever happens, Kamasura, can you promise me to keep your face shut about the mutiny?"
9791When Harrigan disappeared, he said:"What''s the meaning?
9791When I''ve found one, shall I let him go down to the fireroom?
9791When they reached the stretch of deck behind the wireless house, McTee said:"Harrigan, what''s it to be?
9791When we_ do_ move-- shall I spare Harrigan, Kate?"
9791Where''s Harrigan now?"
9791Where''s your hurt?"
9791Who said she had weak lungs?
9791Why are you waiting here?
9791Why ca n''t you give him some hope in the meantime?
9791Why did I not let them have one whirl at you?
9791Why do you hate him, McTee?
9791Why do you talk with me?"
9791Why else am I sittin''here singin''for your sake?
9791Why should n''t you know?"
9791Why should we?
9791Why will you not treat him as one strong and generous man would treat another?"
9791Why?
9791Why?
9791Why?
9791Why?"
9791Will he be always like this?
9791Will it?"
9791Will that not make her love me?
9791Will ye be asking questions?
9791Will you join me an''the rest who can set you free an''make a man of you, or will you stay by McTee and White Henshaw and that devil Campbell?"
9791Will you let me have that long to do some hard thinking?
9791Will you say it, Harrigan?"
9791With the cabin warned of what we''re going to do, what chance would we have to take them?
9791Without the Scotch, England and Ireland-- what could they do?
9791Wo n''t you wait until he tells you of his own accord?"
9791Would I not rather be amusin''myself by takin''the hollow of your throat under my thumbs-- so?"
9791Would it be any crime-- any great crime to slip a little of that long green into our pockets?"
9791Would we remember then how we took hands in the trough of the sea?"
9791Would you believe what Black McTee says of a man he tried to break and could n''t?"
9791Would you try your own hand on Harrigan?"
9791You could n''t have twisted any of the words a little?"
9791You heard what Harrigan said?
9791You know what I did there?
9791You know what that means?
9791You stood up to McTee; would you stand up to Henshaw?"
9791You were about to have an engagement also, Angus?"
9791You will protect me?
9791You will stand between me and danger, Angus?
9791You will think I could have simply thrown it into the sea?
9791You wo n''t do that?
9791You wo n''t do that?"
9791You''ll come soon?"
9791You''ll do that to save her from-- them?"
9791You''ll hate me for it, eh?"
9791You''re in the harness now, Harrigan; make up your mind: Will you pull or will you balk?
9791You''ve heard about the wireless breaking?"
9791he muttered, and then, his head tilted back:"Ye little wan- eyed, lantern- jawed, flat- headed block, is it me-- is it Harrigan ye call a German?
9791whispered Campbell, and then,"You fool, am I not Scotch?"
58155Ai n''t I got enough to bother me now? 58155 Ai n''t forgot nothin''about tonight, have you, child?"
58155Ai n''t had a chance to get it from him yet, huh?
58155Ai n''t that th''ranch Idaho works for?
58155Ai n''t that where th''T& C is?
58155Ai n''t you heard it yet? 58155 Aimin''to send down th''bed, with th''feller in it, too?"
58155All these men, all this time, to clean up a shack like that?
58155All this may be true,he said;"but what does it all amount to without th''fellers he names?
58155An''give Corwin a chance to say things about you?
58155An''how many saddles do you an''Red use generally?
58155An''how''d you find''em?
58155An''mebby get spotted while we''re ridin''back an''forth?
58155An''what did ye find, lad?
58155An''what''s that?
58155An''where''d ye be thinkin''''twas from?
58155An''who are''we''? 58155 An''who was th''lad ye was talkin''to from th''windy just now?"
58155Annythin''to see?
58155Any more?
58155Ar- re ye there, Ed?
58155Are you untied yet?
58155Back from his ride?
58155Bank robbery?
58155Before that?
58155But have you got th''numbers of th''missin''bills?
58155But how are you goin''to talk to th''judge?
58155But mebby it''s th''same?
58155But what''s th''use of actin''like four strange dogs?
58155Buy a new wan, is ut?
58155Ca n''t he learn nothin''but''Th''Dyin''Nun''? 58155 Can I go with you, Dad?"
58155Can you?
58155Comin''?
58155Cooked?
58155Could n''t you send_ him_ down,_ too_?
58155Did I hear you say you know where my cattle are?
58155Did I, or did n''t I?
58155Did n''t I just say that I knowed how to act?
58155Did n''t you say you knowed who killed Ridley?
58155Did they have any trouble?
58155Did they see you? 58155 Did yore folks use a poker deck to cut yore teeth on?"
58155Did you cross any herd tracks after you left me?
58155Did you say gambling?
58155Did you spill any of''em, Jud?
58155Disfigure it, hey?
58155Do I go on?
58155Do I have to do_ all_ th''thinkin''for this crowd of dumbheads?
58155Do n''t you know Red''s wearin''his clothes, boots an''hat, you chump?
58155Do n''t you reckon I got brains enough to run it off?
58155Do n''t you think we got ears?
58155Do we start now?
58155Do you know there''s allus a right an''a wrong way of doin''everythin''?
58155Do you know where Long and Thompson were at that time?
58155Do you reckon anybody had a personal grudge?
58155Do you reckon he made it, Miguel?
58155Do you think my boy will care anything about any trail that leads roundabout? 58155 Do you want him so bad that yo''re willin''to let th''real killer get away?"
58155Everythin''plain?
58155Fed yet?
58155Find anythin''?
58155Follow''em?
58155For why not? 58155 For why they do not see us, in the town, when we come in?
58155From behind?

58155Gee, where have you- all been?

58155Got any chewin''?

58155Got good news,he said,"for you, me, an''th''T& C.""Ya- as?"
58155Had n''t I better send him that check, anyhow? 58155 Had n''t ought to take him very long, I suppose?"
58155Had n''t you better carry yore gun in yore hand, so th''sand wo n''t get in it?
58155Has he, now?
58155Has it got you, too?
58155Have I got to do_ all_ th''thinking for this crowd of dumbheads?
58155Have a drink?
58155Have special signal for that?

58155He change hees horrse at the corrals, no? 58155 He''s got''em, huh?
58155Hey, did you rip open this pad?
58155Hey, what''s all th''trouble?

58155How am I goin''to be welcome around here?
58155How are you?
58155How can I hand it to_ you_?
58155How can he end it by makin''a dash, an''usin''his short guns? 58155 How can you play Injun when they know yo''re hangin''''round here lookin''for yore money?
58155How close did you get?
58155How do you figger that?
58155How do you like this town of ourn, outside of th''dust, now that you''ve seen more of it?
58155How long will it take us?
58155How long would this valley feed a herd like th''one here now?
58155How many you takin''?
58155How much of all that do you mean?
58155How''bout th''gang that are with th''herd?
58155How''d yore boys make out?
58155How''d you come to find th''hole?
58155How''d you come to leave ahead of Nelson?
58155How''d you come to ride south?
58155How''d you ever come to let that yearlin''-mad foreman keep away from yore game?
58155How''d you get away?
58155How''d you get out here so far ahead of_ me_?
58155How''d you get these five- hundred- dollar bills? 58155 How''d you make out, last night, with Long?"
58155How''d_ I_ know? 58155 How''ll this one do for you?"
58155How''s business?
58155How''s our patient?
58155I could n''t write letters an''lie good enough to fool her; an''I had to write letters, did n''t I?
58155I do n''t reckon you''ve ever seen him buyin''a herd, ma''am?
58155If yo''re so cussed quick- witted, will you please tell me what''n blazes you are talkin''about?
58155Is he?
58155Is th''boss in?
58155Is that clear?
58155Is that so?
58155Is_ that_ all he says for us to do?
58155It ai n''t bad over that way; but why do n''t you ride south? 58155 It''s_ good_; but, you got any more?"
58155Just doin''it for practice, mebby?
58155Kane, how much money, that money you got on you now, would you give to be on that black back, up on th''edge of th''valley? 58155 Keep all four feet on th''ground, Long; but it_ is_ funny, now ai n''t it?"
58155Kerosene? 58155 Leavin''us to do th''dancin'', huh?"
58155Like old times, huh? 58155 Locate''em?"
58155Lukins have any money in that bank? 58155 Mac_ who_?"

58155Makin''up with''em?
58155Meanin''?
58155Mebby that feller found th''cow all swelled up with snakebite, away off from water as he thought, an''just put an end to its misery?
58155Mirage?
58155No, why?
58155No; why?
58155No?
58155Now you think hard before you answer this one: Could you see my face plain when you found me? 58155 Now, d-- n it: Who are they?"
58155Now, then; what proof you got? 58155 Now, what''s th''use of tellin''us that?"
58155Now,continued his companion, looking into the pad,"if some of them numbered bills was found on us they''d have us, would n''t they?
58155Of a safe?
58155Oh, all right; why did n''t you say so first off? 58155 Oh, it does, does ut?
58155Oh,sneered Thorpe, his rage climbing anew;"you did n''t hear me th''first time, huh?
58155Pecos Kane shoot hisself?
58155Perhaps,doubted Suspicion;"but then, why that lower row?"
58155Pleased to meet up with you, Mr.--Mr.----?
58155Put perfumery on yore shirt bosom?
58155Quayle?
58155Ready, Nelson?
58155Reckon he done it?
58155Say, friend,he whispered anxiously,"if anybody comes around askin''for Bill Long, you ai n''t seen him, savvy?"
58155Scapegoats? 58155 See anythin''?"
58155Seen Nelson?
58155Sheriff come pokin''his face in_ yore_ room?
58155Shore he ai n''t Tex?
58155Shure an''we ought to get a new wan-- it''s warped crooked, an''cracked----"We should, should we?
58155Shure, an''who''s fool enough to have anny bonfires now?
58155So Tom''s gone, huh? 58155 South of here, on this trail?"
58155South windows?
58155Stove?
58155Supper ready, Peggy?

58155That may be true; but what''s th''use?
58155That reward stick?
58155That so? 58155 That so?
58155That so? 58155 That so?
58155That so?
58155That so?
58155That yore outfit?
58155That you, Nelson?
58155That yourn?
58155Then it was Kane who cold- decked them two fellers?
58155Then who did?
58155Then why did he cut out th''brand?
58155Then why did n''t you say so, at th''beginnin''?
58155Then why did n''t you say so? 58155 Then yo''re comin''back th''way you go in?"
58155They look good; but, I wonder?
58155Thief- proof, huh?
58155Think I want Kane to sit down an''figger why a lazy outfit got ambitious all at once? 58155 Think I''m goin''to swing to save a mad dog like him?
58155Think it''ll reach him in time?
58155Think yo''re sendin''me off to get a couple of cayuses, while yo''re runnin''that risk in there? 58155 Think you see''em, too?"
58155This ai n''t th''Fourth of July, is it? 58155 This th''place?"
58155Thought ye said ye fixed ut? 58155 Want a job, Nelson?"
58155Want to sell it?
58155War dancin''?
58155Was n''t you scared they''d get away?
58155Was you aimin''to find th''missin''bills on them fellers?
58155Was you sayin''easy money?
58155Well?
58155What about them smoke signals, that you know all about?
58155What are we goin''to tell Margaret?
58155What are you askin''_ me_ for?

58155What for?
58155What for?
58155What happened?
58155What is?
58155What kind of a game does that SV foreman play?

58155Wonder if yourn is too heavy, an''strong, for a boy like me to shoot? 58155 Wonder what they thought they''d find?
58155Wonder where Idaho is?
58155Would n''t you go with him?

58155Would you go into Kane''s if you had Nelson''s roll on you?
58155Y- a- a- s? 58155 Ye- ah?"

58155You can see lots of things when yo''re scared stiff, ca n''t you?
58155You do n''t believe he shot Ridley without bein''told to do it, do you?
58155You do n''t care if we look around?
58155You fellers aim to claim squatter sovereignty?
58155You fellers like yore coffee smokin''?
58155You follerin''that, too?
58155You gettin''that out of yore medicine bag, too?

58155You mean Long an''Thompson are innocent?
58155You punchin''?

58155You say he ought to get here any day?
58155You think yo''re smart, do n''t you,_ all_ of you? 58155 You told th''truth, Mac; but I wonder if Corwin heard it like I did?"
58155You was purty shore about that, too, was n''t you?
58155You''ve heard of them, have n''t you?
58155_ How_ soon?
58155_ Quien sabe?_he asked.
58155_ Will_ you listen to sense? 58155 --an''why do n''t you look where yo''re steppin''? 58155 Able to toddle?
58155Ai n''t it h-- l out here?"
58155Ai n''t seen no good bunch of yearlin''s that can be got cheap, have you?"
58155Ai n''t we got a rip- snortin''fool for a sheriff?"
58155Ai n''t you ashamed of me?
58155Ai n''t you got no sense?"
58155All ready?
58155Am I right?"
58155An''Hoppy?"
58155An''_ paisano_, the roadrunner-- deed I not tell you eet was good luck?
58155An''d''ye think they''d be after tellin''on thimselves?
58155An''if they ai n''t rustlin''what''n blazes_ are_ they doin''?"
58155An''need ye look twice to see where th''slug av a buffalo- gun came out?
58155An''theese, please: Why ees there no sortie wen we come in?
58155An''what was that whack I heard when you first went in?"
58155An''what''ll Twitchell say, an''_ do_?
58155An''what''n blazes are_ you_ kickin''about?
58155An''where would a couple of robbers be likely to carry dangerous money?
58155An''where''s th''rest of th''boys?"
58155An''why did n''t th''partition work like it allus did before?"
58155An''would ye listen to him,_ now_?"
58155An''would you listen to that wind?
58155And especially when he had been so angered by the possessor of the wealth?
58155Another pause, and then:"Did you hear Billy yell when them fools started th''fire?"
58155Any left of that I gave you after supper?"
58155Any news about th''robbery?"
58155Anybody here think he''s big enough to get any part of it?"
58155Arch, where''ll we meet you about two hours after daylight tomorrow?"
58155Are you all set?
58155As Hopalong had said, Kane must have plenty of it on him-- money?
58155Before I go I want to ask you a question: Where was you th''night th''Diamond L lost them cows?"
58155Broke?"
58155But I''m wonderin''what he''s doin''with th''kerosene I gave him?"
58155But all of this can wait: what''s goin''on down here that I do n''t know?"
58155But how''ll you handle a herd with yore outfit gone?"
58155But what are they lightin''lights for if they''re rustlin''?
58155But what''n blazes is it all about, anyhow?"
58155But why a rifle, for a_ good_ gunman?
58155But why did n''t you get him?"
58155But,_ quien sabe_?"
58155Can you get me an old hat?
58155Comin''?"
58155Comin''?"
58155Could_ they_ have seen it plain enough to be shore it was me?"
58155D''ye mind what some of thim divils would be after doin''for all that money?
58155Did Bill Long act like a man that had to shoot in th''back when he made Thorpe climb his own wall, with his own crowd lookin''on?
58155Did it strike you that he must have a lot of money on him to be so h-- l- bent to stay awake?
58155Did n''t he write about some trouble that was loose down here?"
58155Did n''t you go along to protect an''keep an eye on that eastern safe- blower that Kane had come to do th''job?
58155Did you draw a shot?"
58155Did you ever hear of th''old Bar-20, over in th''Pecos Valley?"
58155Did you get any trace of them two?"
58155Did you see th''handbills?
58155Did you see th''looks in their eyes when you was tellin''about Nelson?"
58155Did you tell anybody?"
58155Do I burn that end of th''town?"
58155Do n''t you know how to act when you come to town?"
58155Do n''t you never think of nobody but yourself?
58155Do you ever like to split up a pair of aces, Nelson?"
58155Do you know where I can pick up a herd of a couple or three hundred yearlin''s at a fair figger?"
58155Do you still reckon Pepper''s got to be shot?"
58155Doane?"
58155Each was necessary to the success of the drive-- but after?
58155Ever been tried?"
58155Every man in th''pack will swear accordin''to orders, an''who can swear th''other way?
58155Feed yet?
58155Feel like a little game?"
58155For why that volley, lak one shot?
58155Get any news about them rustlers?"
58155Gimme a hand with him, will you?"
58155Goin''ridin'', is he?
58155Goin''to tell McCullough what''s bein''hatched?"
58155Got that good?"
58155Had he bungled the deal, or was n''t four queens big enough for the talkative fool across from him?
58155Have any trouble in Red Frank''s?"
58155Have you two ever been in Mesquite?"
58155He ai n''t been down this way lately, has he?"
58155He hears a moan----""Which moan; first, or second?"
58155He looked intently at the caller and asked:"Where were you on the night of the storm, at the time the bank was robbed?"
58155He sent you fellers away because you was known to be friends of his, did n''t he?"
58155Hear about th''bank robbery?"
58155Hear him squawk?"
58155Hear me chirp, you mangy pups?"
58155How could they?
58155How deed eet happen, that you are save?"
58155How did he find it out?"
58155How did you come to know so much about it?
58155How did you get that Highbank horse?"
58155How do I know I''ll get a square deal?"
58155How do you know that feller belongs to Kane''s crowd?
58155How is it that yo''re out here, so far ahead of me?"
58155How many was in there when you pulled him out?
58155How much do you think Corwin knows about it?"
58155How much is there, in th''bank''s bills?"
58155How much?"
58155How soon do you want''em?
58155How would his friend figure?
58155How''bout it, boys?"
58155How''bout it, stranger?"
58155How''d you get''em?"
58155How''d you like to have somebody shoot off his mouth to yore wife about your gamblin''?"
58155How''s Hoppy an''Red?"
58155How''s it shapin''up?"
58155Hurt bad?"
58155I asked, what is your name?"
58155I asked, which gun are you goin''to throw away, you card- skinnin''four- flush?"
58155I can use a Colt, ca n''t I?"
58155I know where there''s some black bear, up on th''hills-- want to go huntin''with me?"
58155I say,_ yo''re goin''with us_, savvy?"
58155I wonder how close they ever come to them water- holes when they was scoutin''around?
58155I''ll just scratch that out, an''write in,''to me''How''bout it?"
58155Idaho turn in when you did?"
58155If you want somebody to set on th''front porch an''whittle, why''n h-- l are you cuttin''_ me_ out of th''herd for th''job?"
58155In their pockets, where they might get dragged out at th''wrong time?
58155Inquest, is ut?
58155Is he out, or layin''low?"
58155Is it too slow?"
58155Is this plain?"
58155Is_ this_ all Kane gave you for that killin''?"
58155It was all right_ then_, was n''t it?
58155Jewels?"
58155Johnny?"
58155Kane give''em to you, too?"
58155Kane loco?
58155Kane''s do n''t get lively till dark, does it?"
58155Kane?
58155Know him?"
58155Know of any good yearlin''s I can buy cheap?"
58155Let him lay here?"
58155Like Trask said?"
58155Live around here?"
58155Lynch''em?"
58155Make a deal?"
58155Makin''medicine?
58155Mebby his toes_ are_ tender-- but what of it?
58155Money?
58155Need another man?"
58155Nobody was aimin''to take it away from him, was they?"
58155Notice how Mac''s firin''has died down?"
58155Now what th''devil do you think about that bank?"
58155Now where ye goin''so fast?"
58155On their hats?
58155Once more: Ready?
58155One that''s plumb wore out?"
58155Only tin years old, an''it''s a new wan we''d be gettin'', is ut?
58155Or did n''t it have none?"
58155Perhaps I did not understand you correctly?"
58155Ready to count''em now?"
58155Ready?
58155Ready?
58155Reddy let you in?"
58155Remember what Idaho said?"
58155Rhythmic, swaying movement, rising and falling, vague and mystical?
58155Right away?"
58155Rockets?"
58155Sand bank?"
58155Say groups of two an''five, alternate?"
58155Say, can I tell th''boys at th''ranch?"
58155Say, was that yore outfit under my winder before dawn?
58155Say, was you ever paired up with Ewalt?"
58155Say: How much does Ed know?"
58155See you tomorrow?"
58155Seen Idaho this mornin''?"
58155Seen him tonight?"
58155Shall we call it off for tonight?"
58155Sheriff?"
58155Shore you got it all?"
58155Sitting up he gasped:"Did n''t I_ say_ it was a lovely night?
58155Slim live down there?"
58155Small enough not to cause no calamities; large enough to be interestin''?
58155So he went off an''left you all alone?
58155So he''s aimin''on cuttin''us out of''em, huh?
58155So he''s got a proposition to make, has he?
58155Stayin''long?"
58155Swing that blisterin''tube over yonder,"pointing,"an''tell me what you see?"
58155Tellin''creation about it?''
58155That clear?"
58155That makes it more reg''lar, do n''t it?"
58155That''s fair, ai n''t it?
58155That''s so rare, suppose you uncork it?"
58155Them bank fellers picked a good time for it, did n''t they?"
58155Then Bill Long''s voice said, angry an''sharp:''What th''h-- l you doin'', Red?
58155Then_ who_ did?"
58155Think I''m comin''out in th''open?
58155Think we can swing that herd, Miguel, an''split_ all_ th''money, even shares?"
58155Think you could find out anythin''about''em?"
58155Tom Ridley''s murderer?
58155Trask was a thief, and what would a thief do if he suspected that the life savings of a man like Kane might easily be stolen?
58155Want Pepper?"
58155Want cash or a check?"
58155Want it, if I can get it?"
58155Want to bet on it?"
58155Was it possible that the mirage had been double- acting, and had revealed each to the other?
58155Was there movement in the fogging dark of the north?
58155We was on the ver''minute-- eet ees so?"
58155Well, Nelson; does it count up right?
58155Well, if my face do n''t suit ye-- now would ye look at that?"
58155Well, what do you gents say to a little game?
58155What about it?
58155What about yore cayuse?"
58155What about yore outfit?"
58155What about?"
58155What are hills and brush and a miserable little creek to_ him_, when he''s coming home?

58155What is it?"
58155What is your name?"
58155What news did you get about th''rustlers?"
58155What was that you was sayin''about th''white man an''th''Greasers, an''some mistake?
58155What was you doin''with th''six- gun?"
58155What was you tryin''to run on me, then?"

58155What''s east of here?"
58155What''s next?"
58155What''s so queer about him?"
58155What''s th''difference, anyhow, Ol''Timer?"
58155What''s th''difference?
58155What''s th''real reason for all this speed, an''for headin''here instead of goin''to th''ranch?
58155What''s th''reason for killin''cayuses?"
58155What''s th''use of herdin''with yearlin''s, anyhow?
58155What''s th''use of lyin''when it''s so easy to tell th''truth?
58155What''s th''use of takin''a chance like that?"
58155What?

58155Where''s that Nelson?"
58155Where''s that Thompson feller?
58155Where''s yore reward now, that you was spendin''so fast?
58155Where''s_ mine_?"
58155Whereabouts did you leave th''herd?"
58155Which one are you goin''to throw away?"
58155Which suits you?"
58155Which way are you ridin''?"
58155Which way did he come?"
58155Who are they?

58155Why do n''t you hunt up that Nelson feller?
58155Why do n''t you paint out that glarin''question- mark on th''side of th''house?"
58155Why do people rob banks?
58155Why had Trask forsaken his bed- ground, and when?
58155Why th''hurry?"
58155Why the lower row, then, so low that a man would have to kneel to look through the openings?
58155Why''n blazes would I rip open yore saddle pad?

58155_ Both_ of''em, huh?"
58155_ Pronto!_ Did n''t you?"

61329About ready to jump and run for it?
61329Afraid? 61329 After she went through the window?"
61329Again? 61329 Ai n''t he got a box or a chair or a table or something in there that''ll burn?"
61329All that I can think of by way of repartee is:''What meanest thou, Sir Tent- maker?''
61329Am I wise man or fool?
61329And Jim Taggart?
61329And Standing?
61329And did he tell you the sequel? 61329 And he goes on prospering?"
61329And if I refuse to go with you?
61329And if I wo n''t?
61329And not because of a pistol shot?
61329And now, how may I be of service?
61329And so you elect to go along and see what happens? 61329 And tell me,"she returned, looking at her fingers,"if in that same shop they have a manicurist?"
61329And the job?
61329And then?
61329And then?
61329And what does my lady have to say of it?
61329And what if I let you go, girl? 61329 And when, I wonder, did you ever lay you down to sleep as you must to- night?"
61329And where? 61329 And you do n''t know who shot you either time?"
61329And you were... afraid to come into camp while Bruce Standing was still here?
61329And, after all, how do you know that I''m not as happy as a bird? 61329 And, girl, you pledge me your word on that?"
61329And, to- day?
61329And,she added,"warned against coming into Big Pine, he will still come openly?"
61329And,she ran on swiftly,"you were to meet Mexicali Joe to- night at that other cabin of yours?
61329And,suggested the girl, watchful of him as she ventured to probe at his emotions,"on top of all of this... your cousin?"
61329And... then it was you... who did this?
61329Are n''t you afraid? 61329 Are you awake already?
61329Are you coming?
61329Are you going to take me back to Big Pine? 61329 Are you going to tell us?"
61329Are you on?
61329Are you usin''my salve?
61329Awake?
61329Before you go down to him, tell me: did you know what you were doing when you brought us to the wrong place?
61329Billy Winch?
61329Brewster?
61329Brute?
61329But the dream?
61329But to- morrow, when it is light?
61329But you had something-- something that you saw or heard-- to tell you?
61329But you know?
61329But you.... What do you know of such things?
61329But you? 61329 But your fire?"
61329But,he challenged her,"were you right, and were there a man or several men back there tracking us, why all this caution on their parts?
61329But,she said,"if not I, then who?"
61329But.... Then why?
61329But...."The law? 61329 Ca n''t you hold on?
61329Can you go on walking this way all night?
61329Can you leave for two or three hours? 61329 Could any girl come to love a man who treats her as you have done me?"
61329Coward? 61329 Dead sure?"
61329Dick Brooke? 61329 Did they bring her back?"
61329Did you?
61329Do n''t remember me, eh?
61329Do you want to make me hate you?
61329For what else?
61329Go?
61329Gold?
61329Gone to sleep or what?
61329Have n''t I told you?
61329Have you an idea who they are, Lynette?
61329Have you the vaguest inkling of the difference between right and wrong, Bruce Standing?
61329Heads or tails, Standing?
61329Him? 61329 Hold up?"
61329How can it be,she wondered,"that if he is the lawbreaker you call him, thief and worse, men allow him to go on his way?"
61329How do we know,he said quietly,"that there''s any gold there?
61329How do you know it was I who shot you?... 61329 How does it feel to be the one and only daughter of the most distinguished gentleman in town?"
61329How you goin''tell if I lie?
61329Hungry? 61329 I do n''t need it, do I?
61329I seen, did n''t I?
61329I''ll walk with you... if you will let me?
61329I''m done with you, and my papers are changed already...."Already?
61329If Gallup did n''t have the job done, who did? 61329 If I do,"she temporized,"do I have the chance to drive the first stakes?"
61329If I knew I''d tell you, would n''t I, Timmy? 61329 If I should escape from you now,"Lynette could not help crying,"what is there to prevent me from staking the first claim?
61329If I told you now, then what? 61329 If he should hear us?"
61329If he should lie in waiting and see us?
61329If they caught up with us?
61329If you can sit a little bit forward?... 61329 Is Standing in there?"
61329Is gold the greatest thing in life?
61329Is he that kind of man?
61329Is that my answer?
61329Is the gold here, Lynette? 61329 Jim told you that he saw, did n''t he?
61329Joe,he said,"how many friends have you got that we can put on the pay- roll for a few days at twenty- five dollars a day?
61329Know who he is, do n''t you, Joe?
61329Look here,muttered Standing, swinging about to stare at her,"what the devil are you up to?"
61329Love her?
61329Name of Deveril? 61329 No; not yet.... What man can read the mind of a girl?
61329Not afraid?
61329Not yet....How could this man at a touch make her heart beat like mad?
61329Now,said Deveril impatiently,"what is it?"
61329Of course, you know that anything I could say in answer would be but one man''s opinion?
61329On? 61329 Or will you tell us the truth?"
61329Plenty of it, night and morning?
61329Proud, are you? 61329 Ready?"
61329Since when?
61329So we nabbed you, eh, Mexico?
61329So why tell them? 61329 So you and Bruce Standing are still playing the nice little parlor game of slap- the- wrist, are you?"
61329So you sent him word to stay away? 61329 So you woke up hungry, too?"
61329So, after all, you have your engagement with Mexicali Joe? 61329 So?
61329So?
61329Some day,he muttered,"when it''s an even break....""What do you want with me, Babe Deveril?"
61329Suppose I were fool enough to refuse what you ask?
61329Suppose,offered Lynette as coolly as she could,"that I refused to tell?"
61329Sure, Timber?
61329Taggart?
61329Tell me, Bruce Standing,he demanded,"do you love her?"
61329Tell me, pretty maiden,he said lightly,"how far to the nearest barber shop?"
61329That I was a liar, breaking a promise I had made; and worse than a liar, to betray a confidence? 61329 That narrow end of a valley we crossed this afternoon... that was the upper end of Buck Valley?
61329That''s what you are, eh? 61329 That''s why the rifles?"
61329That''s your promise?
61329Then you wo n''t answer, girl? 61329 There are certain things I do n''t understand.... Did you see the other night when he took Mexicali Joe out of their hands?"
61329Thief?
61329Thor''s alive then?
61329Thor? 61329 To move on?
61329To- day?
61329Twenty- five dollars a day? 61329 Want with you?
61329We pardners now? 61329 We three?"
61329Well, Deveril, what now?
61329Well? 61329 Well?"
61329Well?
61329Well?
61329Well?
61329Well?
61329Well?
61329Well?
61329Well?
61329Well?
61329What about Deveril?
61329What about Jim Taggart?
61329What about these men?
61329What am I going to do with you? 61329 What are you looking for now?"
61329What did I tell you, Joe?
61329What did Thor do to you that you should have done this to him?
61329What did you hear?
61329What do you care, so long as I agree to let you go free? 61329 What do you intend to do with me, now you''ve got me?
61329What do you know about him? 61329 What do you mean by that?"
61329What do you mean?
61329What do you mean?
61329What do you think has happened to your gentleman friend?
61329What for? 61329 What have I done to you?
61329What have you come to sling all this at me for?
61329What in hell''s name are you doing up there?
61329What is it to me whether or not you bleed to death?
61329What is it?
61329What makes you think that?
61329What manner of man is this Babe Deveril? 61329 What now?
61329What now?
61329What right had you to think that of me?
61329What the devil is love, anyway?
61329What then? 61329 What was that?"
61329What''s eating you, Timber?
61329What''s that?
61329What''s that?
61329What''s the sense of trying to start a row? 61329 What''s this?"
61329When did you come?...
61329When did you see him? 61329 When was the other time, pardner?"
61329Where better had I to go?
61329Where did he go?
61329Where is he hurt? 61329 Where is he?"
61329Where is she now?
61329Where the horses are?
61329Where''d that come from?
61329Where? 61329 Where?"
61329Which is it? 61329 Who are you?"
61329Who are you?
61329Who is it?
61329Who plugged you, Timber? 61329 Who?
61329Why did you kill this dog? 61329 Why do you talk like that... what is the matter?"
61329Why do you try to hate me so, girl?
61329Why does a man generally send for him?
61329Why should I care what you do, girl?
61329Why should I not hate you?
61329Why should I?
61329Why, I always believe in making the best of a bad mess, do n''t you?
61329Why?
61329Why?
61329Will you do that one thing? 61329 Will you try to lie to us?"
61329Witch, are you? 61329 Wo n''t you come in?"
61329Yes?
61329Yes?
61329Yet, with an oak club against a man with a modern rifle...."Do you remember the last time? 61329 You are done with him, too?"
61329You did n''t leave him suffering any, Bill?
61329You do n''t belong up here in the mountains? 61329 You heard what I said just now?"
61329You know where the Red Cliffs are? 61329 You mean Bruce Standing?"
61329You thay that to me? 61329 You think so?"
61329You wo n''t come with me then? 61329 You''ll wait for me, no matter what happens?"
61329You''re not used to this sort of thing?
61329You....Why had she run from him?
61329_ He?_repeated Deveril.
61329_ Now!_ Where is he?
61329_ She_ did that for you? 61329 _ What!_ After all this.... You''re not coming?"
61329_ You''ll_ square the count?
61329is it so great a thing that I ask? 61329 ... What had this lost rifle to do with matters as they stood? 61329 ...Was it Jim Taggart who shot you in the back last night?"
61329A cabin sighted, but so far away that it was merely a vague dot upon a distant ridge; miner''s shack or sheepman''s or wood- cutter''s?
61329A day?
61329A hundred yards?
61329A man''s cautious tread?
61329A mile by now, not having paused while they lost time?
61329Above all else, was she the plaything of fate?
61329Afraid?"
61329After Taggart?
61329After this... need there be hatred between us?"
61329Agreed, pardner?"
61329All right; you know, on other side, Big Bear Creek?
61329An''then you know, little bit more far, two- t''ree mile, Grub Stake Cañon?
61329And Bruce Standing, regarding her fixedly, demanded sharply:"Well, what is it?"
61329And I asks you, Johnny Wolf, man- eater, how''s tricks?"
61329And I get to this point: How did this gent pick up Joe''s trail in the dark?
61329And I guess you know how I stand on this, do n''t you?"
61329And I know?
61329And again there was comfort in the thought:"If he meant to harm me, why should he have let me go to- night?
61329And at the end she answered him with a baffling, feminine:"Well?"
61329And coffee, huh?
61329And did she want to run just now?
61329And even if he should know, what would he do about it?
61329And for the love of Mike, how come you to let it happen..._ twice_?
61329And have never been?"
61329And he loved her?
61329And how much of that did she mean?
61329And if some prowling animal?
61329And in many ways: One, always recurrent, was:"Could she have been as_ sure_ of Babe Deveril as she was of Bruce Standing?
61329And is he content to trail Mexicali, spying on him, trying to get in on the new gold diggings?
61329And making not a bit of noise, so as to let me have my sleep out?
61329And now may I ask my question?"
61329And she wondered, as she had done so many a time before:"Who had shot him?"
61329And she wondered, as she had done so many a time to- day, where was Babe Deveril?
61329And that is why....""_ Loves me?_ Are you drunk, man, or crazy?
61329And that is why....""_ Loves me?_ Are you drunk, man, or crazy?
61329And the creek which came next was Big Bear Creek?
61329And the distance?
61329And the fire?"
61329And then she laughed nervously, saying in a hard, suppressed voice:"What choice have I, after all?
61329And then, carelessly:"What do you want, boys?"
61329And then, what next?"
61329And then, when no one thought to sympathize, he demanded querulously:"Say, Mex, where''s your wood- pile?"
61329And then:"So your little friend, Baby Devil, told you many a tale about my wickedness?"
61329And they''ll say:''Where''s Joe?''
61329And to search for breakfast?
61329And was there some one following them?
61329And what spark had been struck out of the flint of the adversity which he had hurled at them?...
61329And what was Bruce Standing doing?
61329And what will you have left to trade to me for the pile I''m going to make out of this?...
61329And what would we make by that sort of work?
61329And when he dropped the pistol back to the table...."Again he demanded fiercely:"But you ran..._ why_?
61329And when she refused to reply, he told her:"He''s gone on... where?
61329And when she shook her head vehemently, he added sternly:"And you are not Bruce Standing''s?
61329And where, by the same token, was any money left in my pockets to do legal battle with a man intrenched as he is in his old mountains?"
61329And why?
61329And with them would there be Babe Deveril, who must have gone somewhere in his mad, hungering hope to have a rifle in his hands?...
61329And would she see him again?
61329And yet need she be afraid of any of them just now?
61329And yet...."Are you willing to come back to headquarters with me?"
61329And your dreams?"
61329And, pretty soon.... What are you looking so sick for, Joe?
61329And, right near us somewhere is Grub Stake Cañon?"
61329And, then, what?
61329And, when he found him, would he come upon Taggart and Gallup and that hawk- faced man whom they called Cliff Shipton?
61329And, when he nodded:"Are they telling the truth when they say that Mexicali Joe stole his gold from Mr. Gallup''s mine?"
61329And....""And what?"
61329Anything or nothing?
61329Anyway, it''s the truth, ai n''t it?
61329Are we that yet?"
61329Are you alone?"
61329Are you ready?"
61329As I have a mind to do to- day?
61329As secure in her utter conviction of safety?"
61329Asleep?
61329Babe Deveril?
61329Babe Deveril?"
61329Back to Bruce Standing maybe?"
61329Back?
61329Back?
61329Been usin''my salve?
61329Been usin''the salve I told you to?"
61329Before I have done with you, you would give your soul for the power and the will to laugh....""It is because I laughed at you?"
61329Before they come up for me....""Then there''s no chance, ever, for me?"
61329Bill''s got him in the''hospital''?"
61329Bruce Standing a coward?
61329But Deveril ignored it, saying coolly:"Why should I shake hands with you?
61329But Taggart, though his face grew hotter and his eyes seemed burning in their sockets, demanded further:"And why not, Bruce Standing?
61329But before a dozen swift steps were taken he stopped and came back to her, muttering:"But the man who did this for Thor?
61329But how I know you do n''t cheat me?
61329But tell me: Who plugged you the second time?"
61329But then Standing had brought Taggart''s revolver back to the cabin with him.... What part in to- night''s game was this fallen rifle to play?
61329But what you do with me?
61329But when did Timber- Wolf ever do what other men expected of him?
61329But you wonder why men let him roam free?
61329But, steadying herself, she managed to say:"Babe Deveril told you that?
61329By the way, do you feel entirely comfortable there?"
61329Ca n''t we have a fire?"
61329Ca n''t you carry on?
61329Ca n''t you feel that there is some one back there, following us, spying on us, hiding and yet dogging every step we take?
61329Ca n''t you see....""Tell me, Lynette,"he said sternly, still holding her hands tight in his,"is there any chance for me?
61329Ca n''t you_ feel_ it?"
61329Can you come up right away?
61329Caring for his own wounds?
61329Come noon.... What then?
61329Come on; let''s hurry.... What are you waiting for?"
61329Could all of this which had happened, which was still happening, be an actual experience for her, Lynette Brooke?
61329Could anything stop him or divert his career into any channel but that of his own choosing?
61329Cup of coffee?
61329Deveril?"
61329Dick Brooke''s daughter?
61329Dick Brooke; maybe you have heard of him, too?
61329Did fearlessness and cowardice blend, then, that the incomprehensible result might be known as woman?
61329Did he overhaul Mexicali Joe after all?"
61329Did n''t you know that he''d come, red- hot and raging, as soon as he got your message?
61329Did this man, Bruce Standing, Timber- Wolf as men called him, really know where to find Mexicali Joe?
61329Did you see?"
61329Do n''t you see?
61329Do you really think that after I came into this country for gold myself I am going to miss my one chance now?"
61329Do you still feel that we are followed?"
61329Do you understand?
61329Do you, Young Gallup?"
61329Down Light Ladies''Cañon, and not more''n three or four miles from Big Pine?"
61329Enough of it to shut out any infernal infection.... What in the devil''s name is holding you?
61329Fool with me, would you; with me, Jim Taggart?
61329For another....""And that is?..."
61329For each man?
61329For the first time in hours... how many endless hours?
61329For what purpose?
61329For why I care take on three pardners?
61329For why you do n''t hit me in the head with a pick when I tell?
61329For why you send for him?"
61329Four or five miles; maybe six, seven?"
61329Further, what man could have lived so long with Lynette of the daring eyes and not love her?
61329Get the idea, Graham?"
61329Girl, ca n''t you see....""Am I blind?"
61329Glad to hear that Taggart did not die?"
61329Good and bad?
61329Got that?
61329Got that?"
61329Got the idea, Graham?
61329Had he remained near their camp and was he following them to- day?...
61329Had it not been for the willows intervening, they could then have answered their own question,"Who is it?"
61329Had they loved... had they kissed... was_ she_ now longing with a sick heart for the return of Babe Deveril?
61329Have n''t I told you that I have my own plans for you?
61329Having eaten, they drank again; and having drunk, they again took up the trail...."If you can stand the pace?"
61329He commanded her to turn back?
61329He himself must have made that fireplace, for what other man could have lifted those rocks into place?
61329He tied his small pack at the strings behind the saddle and said briefly:"Since we''re in a hurry, suppose you ride while I walk alongside?
61329He tried to laugh at that; what did he care for good and bad?
61329He, a man who went his way and made reckoning to none?
61329Her only concern now was: Would he strike just at the very second that he should?
61329Her steady fingers were unbuttoning his collar...."Then why,"he muttered, jeering and challenging,"did you run as you did after the shot?
61329Housing an occupant or deserted for years?
61329How I squared with him?"
61329How could Deveril know that?
61329How could Joe wallow in it, much as he would like to, when always there were men like ugly hounds on his trail?
61329How did he know?
61329How do I know what you would do?
61329How does a man sense things which no one of his five senses can explain to him?
61329How does he work it to be hand in glove with both of you at the same time?"
61329How far ahead?
61329How far could she be sure of him?
61329How he threw his rifle away?"
61329How many of them?"
61329How much of it did she, after all, regret?...
61329How was it that Thor, a dog, hence man''s superior in as many matters as he was man''s inferior, a thing of keenest senses, had given no sign?
61329How''s the sick wing?
61329How, without fire?
61329Hungry?"
61329I am master here, understand?
61329I do n''t ask you anything about it, do I?
61329I do n''t look like a dying man, do I?"
61329I guess that means something to you, do n''t it?
61329I have asked what I could do for you?"
61329I have followed you; I have found you; I have taken you, prying you loose from your running mate.... You thought it fun to laugh at me once, did you?
61329I was only eight or nine years old, but forget?
61329I wonder if I could have done what you are doing?
61329I wonder if we could make that do?"
61329I''ve told you those are Standing''s men; then why the devil are they riding like that and in such numbers?
61329If I hold you tight... and set my lips to yours... and....""You beast....""But my dinner?"
61329If Taggart and Gallup and the other?
61329If a man like Standing could not trust his dog, when that dog was old Thor, then where on this green earth could he plant his trust?
61329If he could have dropped me and made it seem clear that she had done it.... See it, Bill?"
61329If he were alive and not badly hurt; if Lynette knew this, then what?
61329If you think he decided to come this way?"
61329In her heart, in her soul... in the most hidden recesses of her most hidden being?
61329In the first place, have n''t I told you that he rolls in wealth?
61329Into the receiver he called sharply:"Bristow?
61329Is Standing all right?"
61329Is he coming back soon?"
61329Is he hurt?"
61329Is that it?"
61329Is that it?"
61329Is that to be wondered at?
61329Is this Ben Brewster?"
61329It was for that that you set him free?
61329It''s good to be_ clean_, is n''t it?"
61329Jail for you... or a good long spell in the pen for him?"
61329Just who is he?"
61329Just_ good_ men, understand?
61329Know what the third degree is, Joe?"
61329Last May you were in Carson?"
61329Leaving her here, under the relentless guard of Thor?
61329Lift it a bit?
61329Like one of the King Arthur''s knights....""Like one,"he growled, deep down in his throat, angrily,"who saw another Lynette across the four fords?
61329Look here; what do you know about all this?"
61329Lying on his back, his white face turned up, his eyes shut, tight shut?
61329Lynette gone... to Deveril?
61329Lynette....""Well?"
61329May I sit on your door- step?"
61329Mexicali Joe....""You are after Mexicali Joe''s gold, Babe Deveril?"
61329More?
61329Murder or only robbery again?"
61329No roof for us, girl, but who wants a roof with that sky above us?"
61329No?
61329Now what?"
61329Of the stars above?...
61329Of what can one be sure?
61329One man?
61329Or a bird among leaves, or a rabbit?
61329Or a limb stirring gently?
61329Or had he thrown himself down flat somewhere, watching them go by?
61329Or had he turned aside?
61329Or has he forgotten a pair of bright eyes and warm arms and red lips?
61329Or is it some miles away, with Bruce Standing already sinking his claws into it, Standing style?"
61329Or none at all?
61329Or the director of fate?
61329Or, if he do n''t, I''ll break his jaw- bone with my boot heel.... Where''s a can?"
61329Perhaps it had been this which had awaked her?
61329Picker of thoughts from men''s brains?"
61329Planning to hide behind a tree and pop me off while I''m not looking?
61329Plugged a second time?
61329Presently, however, a man at the far edge of the crowd shouted:"What''s he arrested for, Taggart?
61329Proud?
61329Quickly she asked:"Where are we going?"
61329Rather than rest here with Thor to keep you company?"
61329Ready?
61329Ready?"
61329Ready?"
61329Robbery?"
61329Say, Gallup, where''s Mexicali Joe?
61329Shall I step to right or to left for all that?
61329She awaited, scarcely breathing, the answer he would make to that question from Taggart:"Are we still friends?"
61329She could not explain that to herself; if some one followed, why should that some one hide?
61329She had her own measure of curiosity.... Was it only that?...
61329She knew that; she had known it... how long?
61329She must make some answer, and so at last she prefaced her reply by asking him:"You say that we are not on your land?"
61329She wondered about Babe Deveril; how badly hurt he had been after Bruce Standing''s mauling; what he was doing now; where he was?
61329She wondered if still he clung to his conviction, the natural one after all, that she had shot him?
61329She wondered if the man felt as other human beings did?
61329She wondered where he was, what doing?
61329She, a girl?
61329Shot again?
61329Shot twice from behind?
61329Shouted his dictates at her in that first moment when she sensed escape and freedom and victory over him who had been victor long enough?
61329So Deveril had left this note behind?
61329So Gallup had him killed for me?"
61329So she had gone to him?
61329So this was Bruce Standing''s country?
61329So....""Then,"she cried, jumping to her feet, all eagerness,"do you believe me when I say that I did not shoot you?"
61329Some one had killed him, then, and Standing, above the booming of the waterfall, had heard?
61329Some one out there?
61329Somewhere, anywhere?
61329Standing answered roughly:"And what do I care?
61329Standing, how''s the hurt comin''along?
61329Still he held her, his hands hardening on her, as he demanded:"And what of Bruce Standing?"
61329Sympathy?
61329Taggart, still stuffing, went on steadily:"Next, you see the stove with its hot lids?
61329Taggart?"
61329Tell me how we can hope to come to the spot first?"
61329Tell me; what have you found him to be?"
61329Ten days?
61329That Bruce Standing had put a chain about me?
61329That Gallup, slick as wet soap, tricked him?
61329That Joe''s gold is not somewhere else?"
61329That club of his... where was it?
61329That dog?
61329That he was Johnny on the spot?
61329That kid of a girl?"
61329That will mean... how far?
61329That would make a hit with you, would n''t it?
61329The one question was:"Was Bruce Standing mortally wounded?"
61329The smoke?"
61329Then Taggart?
61329Then how much of her adventure would have followed?
61329Then we''ll be in a bit of forest land where the devil himself could n''t find us on a night like this.... How are you standing the rough- stuff?"
61329Then what?
61329Then who?
61329Then, as she made no answer and he could not see her face, he asked sharply:"What did you think it was?"
61329They laid down before him like pups....""_ And you?_""What could I do, with a rotten stick in my hands!"
61329They were starting on when Deveril said soberly:"Shall I save the rabbit skin?"
61329Think I''m fool enough to kill you... now?
61329This her chance?
61329Thor dead?
61329Thus Babe Deveril, riding with drooping head, found certain living fires among the ashes of dead hopes: A row to come with Taggart?
61329To get a rifle and come back?
61329To go down with Al Blake and some of the boys to stake a string of mining claims down in Light Ladies''Gulch?"
61329To hand me over to the law, with a charge of attempted murder against me?"
61329To match your wits and your grit and your endurance against the kind of men who go hell- raising into a new gold strike?"
61329To stake claims down in the Gulch?"
61329Twice in the back?
61329Two?
61329Understand?"
61329Us four?"
61329Waiting for the sun to go down and come up again?"
61329Was he following them, or had he struck out east or west, while they went on north?
61329Was he near?
61329Was he still ahead of them, hastening on?
61329Was it Babe Deveril?
61329Was it possible that among the old diggings Mexicali Joe had stumbled upon a vein which the old- timers had overlooked?
61329Was love for her?
61329Was now her time?
61329Was this the spot toward which he had striven on so stubbornly since daylight?
61329We got our rifles, ai n''t we?
61329We''ll not forget, either one of us... will we?...
61329Well, twenty dollars is n''t much, after all, is it?
61329Well... what should she say?
61329What better place than this to take us in?
61329What did he do?"
61329What did he want?
61329What did it do to the hearts and souls and bodies of men... and girls?
61329What do you make of it?
61329What fault is it of mine if a thousand years ago Bruce Standing and I had the same murdering old pirate for ancestor?
61329What good did it do you?
61329What had he heard in camp?
61329What had she to fear from them?
61329What had we ought to do?"
61329What harm had he ever done you?"
61329What have I to do with the loves and hates of men as I know them?
61329What if I put my two arms about you?
61329What if he were killed?
61329What misdoubt?
61329What now?
61329What right had she to forgive, to look at a man that way?
61329What the devil had he to do with sticking those labelling tags upon what he or others did?
61329What then?
61329What was happening there?
61329What was love?
61329What would they be waiting for, being armed themselves and knowing us unarmed?
61329What''s your trouble?"
61329When he just laughed and said,''Where in this country,_ my country_, will you get a jury to convict me?''
61329When he would n''t either admit or deny?
61329When?
61329Whence came love?
61329Where abouts in the gulch?"
61329Where are you going?
61329Where has he gone?"
61329Where is he?"
61329Where was he going?
61329Where was he?
61329Where would I find you again?
61329Where would you go?
61329Where you would go?
61329Where?
61329Where?
61329Which is it?"
61329Which way lay the path to the other cabin, where Taggart and Gallup and the other man were?
61329Which, girl?"
61329Which?
61329Who knows?
61329Whose hand that which she had seen reach through her window and snatch up her revolver and fire the cowardly shot?
61329Why all Jim Taggart''s caution, if he were armed?
61329Why all this caution?
61329Why give us a minute''s chance to slip away in the brush?"
61329Why in hell''s name did n''t you tell me?"
61329Why that great eagerness... unless he, despite his threat, was casting about in rather blind fashion for means to make her pay?...
61329Why, could n''t you see that Taggart put the fear of the Lord into him?
61329Why?
61329Why?
61329Will you laugh again, girl?
61329Will you, do you think, ever have the second chance to shoot me in the back?...
61329Wolf or lion?...
61329Wonder how he guessed we were starved like wildcats?"
61329Would he strike a second too early, before it was necessary, and thus needlessly give himself away?
61329Would he strike just a second too late, giving Shipton first the time to see and cry out?
61329Would he, by any chance, hear her?
61329Would he, too, come to her?
61329Would to God...."But if she had not laughed?
61329Yeth?
61329You as well as I?"
61329You do n''t see it?
61329You know what we came for, do n''t you?
61329You know where Buck Valley?
61329You see us boys eating hearty, and, if I know what that look means in a man''s eye, you got an appetite yourself?
61329You wonder why I say in one breath that he stole three thousand dollars from me and then merely growl that he remains outside jail?"
61329You''ll stick with him?
61329You''re a long way from your stamping- ground, are n''t you?"
61329You, whom I could crush between thumb and finger, refuse to answer me?"
61329Youth?
61329_ Babe Deveril?_ All along she had held tenaciously to the thought that Babe Deveril would come for her.
61329_ Bruce Standing loved her, Lynette?_ Was that true?
61329_ Bruce Standing loved her, Lynette?_ Was that true?
61329_ Had_ she smiled?
61329_ Why_, girl, if you are not lying to me?"
61329_ that_?"
61329_ what_?"
61329everything?"
61329how many days?...
61329oh, girl... at last?"
61329that he is more badly hurt than either he or I knew?"
61329that night in my cabin?"
9925''Why not?'' 9925 A bulldog spirit, you say?
9925A man?
9925A theory?
9925A very hard blow, eh,said Vance,"if he were robbed of the Colby illusion and had Black Jack put in its place as a cold fact?
9925About what?
9925After all,said Terry, with complacency,"what are good looks with bad grammar?"
9925Ah, but what have you written?
9925Ah, what is there to explain, Aunt Elizabeth? 9925 Ah, would n''t they, though?
9925Ah,cried the girl,"do n''t you see that I have a right to talk?
9925Ah?
9925Ai n''t I good enough to even loan you money?
9925Ai n''t Slim a pal of yours? 9925 Ai n''t you heard me say it?"
9925Ai n''t you noticed anything queer up there? 9925 Am I?"
9925And I appreciate the advice, Kate-- but what would you have me do?
9925And he''s proud of his reputation?
9925And how do you find your work, sheriff?
9925And how''s things up your way?
9925And now my father''s name, please?
9925And risk Terry getting his head blown off?
9925And she?
9925And that thing we got in common?
9925And that?
9925And that?
9925And what d''you mean by that? 9925 And what of it?"
9925And where have you put Terence?
9925And who d''you think planned it? 9925 And yet-- you came?"
9925And you are used to the new idea?
9925And you do n''t know who I am?
9925And you do n''t stop it?
9925And you know he would n''t take nothing but gold coin paid down at the house?
9925And you''ve been teaching me steadily for twenty- four years that blood will tell? 9925 And-- Terence?"
9925Approve? 9925 Are you done, Terence?"
9925Are you entirely satisfied?
9925Are you forty- nine, Vance?
9925Are you going to be a fool about this, too?
9925Are you going to gather his memory to your heart, Terry?
9925Are you going to insist on taking it to heart this way?
9925Are you trying to hang me?
9925Are you trying to shame me before a stranger?
9925As nearly as I can make out-- because most of the slang is new to me,said Terry,"you want to dynamite the store safe and--""Who said sawdust?
9925Bad?
9925Beaten him?
9925Bill,he said,"you seen anything of a spavined, long- horned, no- good skunk named Hollis around town today?"
9925Black Jack? 9925 Boys, ai n''t this funny?
9925Break up a fine game like this because you''re broke?
9925But I-- if you ca n''t influence him, how can I? 9925 But does n''t it make people suspicious to have a fort like this built on the hill?"
9925But first-- what has he done?
9925But how was it done?
9925But suppose he should ever learn the truth?
9925But then-- you see how well it has turned out? 9925 But what are we going to do, Elizabeth?
9925But what''ll he do if you pull a gun yourself?
9925But when I found myself outside in the night, I says to myself:''Where shall I go now?'' 9925 But where you been raised, Terry?
9925But which one?
9925But who''s Larrimer after now?
9925But why not under yours, Vance? 9925 But why not?
9925But why should I go?
9925But why?
9925But-- how does it all come about?
9925But-- you''ll think before you do anything, Elizabeth?
9925Can you force a door in one of those houses so we can get to the second story of one of''em and drop to the roof?
9925Can you tell me where to start hunting? 9925 Certainly the effect of blood, eh?"
9925Change my name? 9925 Congratulate you?"
9925Convince you? 9925 Could I have told anyone?
9925D''you know what they''re talking about downstairs?
9925Dad, why you so anxious to get me out of the way?
9925Denver, what has he done?
9925Did he do for Larrimer?
9925Did n''t your dad show me the ropes? 9925 Did that make you mad?"
9925Do n''t you see what I''ve done?
9925Do n''t you see,she said softly,"that no strength can turn Terry back now?
9925Do n''t you see?
9925Do n''t you? 9925 Do they say that?"
9925Do you know that you''ll have to mortgage your future for that money, Vance?
9925Do you know what I''m going to give Terry for his birthday?
9925Do you know, Vance, that sometimes I feel as if the whole world were conspiring to get a hand on Terry?
9925Do you mind if I run over the situation briefly, as I understand it?
9925Do you think he''ll ever read the novels? 9925 Do you think so?"
9925Do you think that I''m going to risk a murder?
9925Do you? 9925 Does it hang on that?"
9925Eh?
9925Eh?
9925Elizabeth Cornish?
9925Elizabeth, why not wait until after the birthday ceremony?
9925Ever meet young Larrimer?
9925First,she said,"what d''you know about Dad-- and Denver Pete?"
9925For the sake of experience?
9925Forbid Terence? 9925 Forbid Terry?"
9925Going to make him-- kill?
9925Good God, are you mad?
9925Good enough?
9925Good enough?
9925Got any doubts about me being square, Slim?
9925Got room for another at that table?
9925Halloo, Jake, that you?
9925Hate-- him?
9925Have I ever forgotten?
9925Have I ever let it go out of my mind? 9925 Have n''t I told you?
9925Have you ever read the story of the Jukes family?
9925He killed him?
9925He''s dead, then?
9925Hey,called Slim,"is El Sangre gun- shy?"
9925Him? 9925 Him?"
9925How about the woman I got the baby from?
9925How are you, kid-- shaky?
9925How come? 9925 How d''you mean that?"
9925How do you know that?
9925How do you know?
9925How does a buzzard smell a dead cow?
9925How long did you live with Terry?
9925How long has it been since there was a raid on McGuire''s town?
9925How long you two been playing?
9925How much d''you win?
9925How much have you got left?
9925How we ever coming back this way-- in a hurry?
9925How''ll you stop me, kid? 9925 How?"
9925How?
9925I guess this is the first time I been up here, Pollard?
9925I guess you ai n''t a friend of Terry''s?
9925I suppose he broke-- her heart?
9925I think the name you used was Black Jack, sheriff?
9925I''m running this here game; Phil, how many straight passes did you make?
9925If times are dull, why not drop over? 9925 If you''re interested in the early legends, why do n''t you go to the State Capitol?
9925In magazines?
9925Is he coming with a gang, Sandy?
9925Is n''t it a little-- unprofessional,said Terry dryly,"for you to tell me these things?"
9925Is that a threat?
9925Is that my real name?
9925Is that the scene?
9925Is they no difference between Kate Pollard and Joe Pollard?
9925Is this another one of your tantrums, Elizabeth? 9925 Is-- is it over?"
9925It''s something about Terence? 9925 Like to?"
9925Looks like a business letter, does n''t it?
9925Luck?
9925Maneater? 9925 Maybe you been up the Bear Creek way?"
9925Maybe you''re chasing a wild goose? 9925 Maybe you- all could tell me,"said Kate Pollard, lounging in the saddle,"where I''ll find the lady that owns this here place?"
9925Me? 9925 Me?
9925Miss Cornish, why''d you take him in in the first place?
9925Miss Pollard, how do you know these things?
9925Mr. Gainor, will you be kind enough to go over to that grove of spruce where the three of us can talk without any danger of interruption?
9925Mustang? 9925 News?"
9925No use staying and letting that fellow deafen us with his oaths, is there?
9925Not all bad, you say? 9925 Not half bad-- this house, eh?"
9925Now,said Elizabeth, sitting erect again,"what is it?
9925Pal, did you ever try, in the old days, to_ give_ anything to the old Black Jack?
9925Paris?
9925Perhaps,said Elizabeth Cornish, white about the lips,"we had better go into the living room to hear the rest of the sheriff''s story?"
9925Proud of it? 9925 Really?"
9925Red,whispered Terry,"how''s the money put into the safe?"
9925S''pose we take a look at him?
9925Say, kid, ai n''t you got a glad hand for me? 9925 Say,"he burst out suddenly,"ai n''t you Black Jack''s kid?"
9925She''s raising a crowd?
9925Sheriff Minter? 9925 Skylight?"
9925Slim, what did Phil do for you down in Tecomo? 9925 Something he''s done, eh?
9925Still harping on that, Elizabeth? 9925 Suppose I throw the coin this time?"
9925Suppose he''s fast-- but can I use him? 9925 Suppose they was to rush the bank, even?"
9925Suppose we go on to the hotel and eat?
9925Tell us how you came to branch out, Sheriff Minter?
9925Terry Hollis, what have you done? 9925 Terry, are you trying to make me feel foolish?"
9925Terry,she said faintly,"what on earth have you to do with that--""Listen, Aunt Elizabeth,"he said,"you are n''t going to fib about it, are you?"
9925That so?
9925That so?
9925The old lady with the cane?
9925Then lemme have another fifty, will you?
9925They build a ship in compartments, eh? 9925 Through one of them rooms and out the windows-- without waking anybody up?"
9925Vance, how much talking did you do in Craterville?
9925Vance, will you leave me for a moment?
9925Vance, you''ll help me? 9925 Victim, Aunt Elizabeth?"
9925Victim?
9925Want something?
9925We''re partners, are n''t we?
9925Well, kid?
9925Well? 9925 Well?"
9925Well?
9925Well?
9925Well?
9925What are you saying, Terence? 9925 What d''you know about that?"
9925What d''you mean by stopping me, Bill? 9925 What d''you mean by that?
9925What difference does it make, Kate?
9925What difference? 9925 What do you mean by that, Elizabeth?"
9925What do you think he says to me? 9925 What generally happened, kid, when somebody acted up in front of your dad?"
9925What happened?
9925What happened?
9925What in the world are you talking about?
9925What is it, Vance?
9925What line?
9925What man?
9925What name? 9925 What shall I say to you, Terence?"
9925What sort of a target d''you want?
9925What talk?
9925What will become of the baby?
9925What you think of him?
9925What you want me to do,said the sheriff, with slow effort,"is to set a trap, get Hollis into it, and then-- murder him?"
9925What''s Hollis been up to now?
9925What''s happened to the light? 9925 What''s names to me?"
9925What''s that?
9925What''s the news out your way?
9925What''s the strain in that stallion?
9925What''s wrong, Elizabeth?
9925What,gasped Elizabeth,"do you want me to do?"
9925What?
9925When are you going to do it?
9925Whenever he gets in a pinch, I''ve heard you say:''Terry, what should a Colby do?''
9925Where might you be working?
9925Which way?
9925Who am I?
9925Who are you?
9925Who is it?
9925Who was it?
9925Who''s they?
9925Why did Cornwall run away this morning? 9925 Why do you throw in with me?"
9925Why impossible, Vance?
9925Why not? 9925 Why not?
9925Why not? 9925 Why not?"
9925Why not?
9925Why the devil did you tell me the name if you did n''t want me to use it?
9925Why were you so shocked?
9925Why, Terry?
9925Why, you poor boob,groaned Denver,"do n''t you know she''s the old dame that''s trying to get you mobbed?"
9925Why? 9925 Why?"
9925Why?
9925Why?
9925Will you step this way, Miss Pollard?
9925Without a cent?
9925Would you, now? 9925 Wu,"came the short demand,"can you keep your mouth shut and do what you''re told to do?"
9925You agin?
9925You and me to turn the trick alone?
9925You damned skunk, are you accusin''me of crooking the throw of the coin?
9925You did n''t know your father-- not your own father?
9925You do n''t approve?
9925You do n''t think so, Vance?
9925You do?
9925You do?
9925You dope it that he''ll cut for the house of Pollard? 9925 You have heard?"
9925You heard, Vance? 9925 You love Terry?
9925You mean the property which will come to you when I die?
9925You mean, try the safe right in town, inside the old bank? 9925 You noticed that-- his gentleman''s agreement with Le Sangre?
9925You saw Black Jack die in the street,she queried,"fighting for his life?"
9925You saw?
9925You say that,she pondered slowly,"after she sent you away?"
9925You see that?
9925You shot a man?
9925You want me to?
9925You went to her-- she thought I sent you-- that I''ve grown ashamed of my own father, and that I want to beg her to take me back? 9925 You''re Black Jack''s kid, ai n''t you?
9925You''re a nice, kind sort of a gent, ai n''t you, Denver?
9925You''re going to get young Terry Hollis?
9925You''re set on going? 9925 You''re the man I mean; you''re Terry Hollis, Black Jack''s son?"
9925You''ve been to see her, Kate? 9925 You''ve murdered to make yourself one-- of us?"
9925You''ve really heard of me?
9925You- all know Lewison?
9925You_ will_ come back for the birthday party, Vance?
9925''Are you as old as that, son?
9925A beauty, eh?"
9925After all, what difference did it make whether he killed or not?
9925Ai n''t I had my run- in with him?
9925Ai n''t that more''n fair?"
9925Ai n''t that so?
9925Ai n''t that what I been told?"
9925Ai n''t you ever heard Black Jack talk?"
9925Ai n''t you got any credit around this town?"
9925Am I a plague because of that name?"
9925Am I right?"
9925Am I right?"
9925Am I right?"
9925Am I right?"
9925And I hear tell you got El Sangre?"
9925And ai n''t his moniker good enough for you to work under?
9925And before he could gather his wits, the girl went on:"Now, is they any real reason why you should n''t get out of here tomorrow morning?"
9925And d''you know who we''ve got here with us now?
9925And he said before he slept:"It''s a bit queer, is n''t it, even two wise women ca n''t show a man that he''s a fool?
9925And how could she do justice?
9925And how has he taken it?"
9925And they turned you out for that?"
9925And what could I do?
9925And what will Terry do when he finds out?"
9925And what you been doing with yourself?"
9925And you wo n''t break the safe?"
9925And you''ll come?
9925And-- what has he done?"
9925And-- you''ll be hungry, Mr.--Hollis?"
9925Any hand with a gun and traps?"
9925Anything you might lack, son?"
9925Are you a short sport?
9925Are you on?"
9925Are you on?"
9925Are you preaching at me, kid?
9925Are you ready to ride that way?"
9925As bad as that?
9925At Pedro''s?
9925Been doing anything to these dice?"
9925Besides, what would there be in it for me-- following you?"
9925Besides, why did n''t you get up and get it for us yourself?"
9925But as for your main prospects, do you know where they are?"
9925But did he really do for Larrimer?
9925But do n''t you remember?
9925But for how long would he succeed in dodging that imp of the perverse which haunted him?
9925But has a single day gone when you have n''t thought of the picture?"
9925But how could they help?
9925But how in the world, and why in the world, had it been carted to the top of this mountain?
9925But if he wants to talk about his brother''s death, why-- good Lord, Kate, I have to go in and listen, do n''t I?
9925But on the other hand, how could Terry refuse to respond to such an invitation without compromising his reputation as a man without fear?
9925But what can I do?
9925But what is the reason for surrounding him with guns, Elizabeth?"
9925But what of that?
9925But what power could influence him?
9925But what will he find?"
9925But where''s there a trace of Father?"
9925But would the opening be large enough to admit the body of a man?
9925But you do n''t have to blurt that out to Elizabeth, do you?
9925But-- how did it happen?"
9925But-- just what have you to tell her?"
9925But-- where did he get that red devil?"
9925But-- you do n''t want to sell out your final claim, I suppose?"
9925By the way, how long is it since you''ve seen the ranch?"
9925By the way, how many jobs you been fired from already?"
9925CHAPTER 3"If Terry worries you like this,"suggested her brother kindly,"why do n''t you forbid these pranks?"
9925Ca n''t you never bear with a gent?"
9925Can you beat it?
9925Can you do it?
9925Canning?
9925Canning?
9925Cattle lost over the Blue Mountains again?
9925Could I, possibly?
9925Could you guess it in a thousand years?
9925Crime?
9925D''you know who the kid is?
9925D''you think I been trailing you?"
9925Did he do for Larrimer?
9925Did the person who sent the letter do that?"
9925Did you ever stop to realize that?"
9925Did you know that?"
9925Did you know the fellow?"
9925Did you say forty thousand?"
9925Do n''t you hear him singing out there in the stable?
9925Do n''t you remember what Joe Minter did?"
9925Do n''t you see that that''s why they like you?
9925Do you hate-- him?"
9925Do you know what I''ve really done?
9925Do you know what a wise man would do?"
9925Do you know what''d happen if Dad found me here?"
9925Do you know why he thinks that?
9925Do you mind?"
9925Do you really mean you''d shoot that red horse in front of the hotel?"
9925Do you remember our talk of today?"
9925Do you remember that day twenty- four years ago when we took Jack Hollis''s baby?"
9925Do you suppose I would n''t change if I could?"
9925Do you understand, Kate?"
9925Do you want me to invite him to leave?"
9925Does anybody want to ask questions about what has happened?"
9925Does that sound as if he was cut up much?"
9925Eh, Pete?
9925Eh, boy?"
9925Eh, boys?"
9925Eh?
9925Eh?"
9925Eh?"
9925Ever hear of a horse that could get that young wildcat out of the saddle?
9925Ever hear of him?"
9925Face me squarely, will you?
9925Fifty?
9925For was it not he who had brought the son of Black Jack among them?
9925Generous?
9925Gimme plain wood, will you?"
9925Gimme your last cent, will you?
9925Girl, who''ve I always told you was the greatest gent that ever come into my life?"
9925God a''mighty, boy, why would n''t you be?
9925God above, are you Black Jack''s son?"
9925Going to try scratching, kid?
9925Had she noticed anything unusual this morning?
9925Have I hurt you?"
9925He was on a hunting trip when he saw Le Sangre--""Good Lord, did they call the horse that?"
9925He wondered why she insisted so savagely on that newfound name?
9925How can a gent whittle one of these damned matches down to toothpick size?
9925How come, Terry?"
9925How could she even gain access to her?
9925How could she talk to the woman who owned such an establishment as this?
9925How do I know?
9925How have you endured the suspense?"
9925How long would it be before they actually raised their hands against him?
9925How long would it be before they violently put him in the class of his father?
9925How would his color change?
9925How''ll he ever manage to stand up to Terry unless he''s got hidden backing?"
9925How''s things with you and your family?"
9925I believe that is true?"
9925I do n''t suppose it does any good for me to tell you that he cheated you out of that money?"
9925I hope I''m wrong?"
9925I like him well enough; I''ll give him a good deal; but is he going to mean charity all the time he hangs out with me?"
9925I''m happy-- don''t you see?
9925I''m nothing to him, you see?
9925I_ know!_""So you suffer, day by day?"
9925If you have done a little of what he did, what does it matter?
9925If you want white hands and good grammar, how do you expect to find a wife in the mountains?"
9925In what way could he face her with that stain in his soul?
9925Is Slim''s friendship worth two hundred to you, or ai n''t it?
9925Is he around town?"
9925Is that clear?"
9925Is that it, or some other kind of slick stuff?"
9925Is that so?
9925Is that the straight of it?"
9925Is that what she thinks?"
9925Is they anything to hold you here?"
9925Is your nerve up to it?"
9925Jack Hollis?"
9925Just passing through these parts?"
9925Kate, how could you do it?
9925Kate, what put this last fool idea into your head?"
9925Like to come?"
9925Maybe you got the information I want?"
9925Me?
9925Nice little nest egg to build a fortune on, eh?"
9925Nitroglycerin?
9925No?
9925Nothing will change you?
9925Now, kid, why not go another direction-- and keep on going?
9925Now, would you?"
9925Only, who else would have a motive?"
9925Or suppose they take the big room?
9925Particularly, who went out with Black Jack''s kid?
9925Partner, what sort of a price would you set on El Sangre, maybe?"
9925Perhaps you''ll tell me some of the other things-- the things you count big?"
9925Phil, did Slim stand by you last April-- you know the time?
9925Pretty tricky with the gat, eh?"
9925Rather exciting, is n''t it?
9925Remember how Black Jack used to slide out his gat?"
9925Run along to bed, will you?"
9925Savvy?"
9925Say, who d''you think I am, a boob?"
9925Shaky?
9925Shall we go?"
9925She said:"Why did n''t you let me come up with you?
9925Sit up all night and nurse the safe?"
9925Some yarn about Terry?"
9925Something about his father?"
9925Suddenly a loud, nasal voice spoke through one of the front windows:"What was that, boys?"
9925Suddenly he said:"So you simply happened over this way, Shorty?"
9925Suppose he should stumble at the very threshold of his success?
9925Tell you what I want?
9925That Terry would shoot a man before he was twenty- five?"
9925That''s where you went when you were away those four days?"
9925Then her glance shifted and dwelt a moment on Terry-- with pity, he wondered?
9925Then she asked with a return of her former sharpness:"How come you gambled today at Pedro''s?"
9925Then:"Do you mean it?
9925There''s a young gent in town named Larrimer, ai n''t there?"
9925They had to answer his question, and how could they lie when he saw them rushing through a door with revolvers coming to brown, skillful hands?
9925Think I''m a moneylender?
9925This Elizabeth Cornish-- got anything to do with the Cornish ranch?"
9925This gent is a sky- pilot, maybe?"
9925Understand?"
9925Until that time, why should he care in whose name the ranch remained so long as his bills were paid?
9925Was n''t it him that taught me all I ever knew?
9925Well, Black Jack, your old man himself never got a finer crew together than this, eh?"
9925Well, do you know what you''ve seen?"
9925Well, well, and how did it get there?
9925What could be more glorious?
9925What could be more terrible?
9925What could it mean?
9925What d''you mean by that?
9925What do you mean, Vance?"
9925What else are you up to over here?"
9925What if he does?"
9925What in hell d''you mean by it?"
9925What in hell d''you mean by that?"
9925What is it now?"
9925What is it?
9925What is it?"
9925What of it?
9925What right have Pollard and the others to cut in on this coin?
9925What should he say?
9925What should he see?
9925What sort of a world was this he had entered, with its whispers, its cold glances?
9925What was it?
9925What was it?"
9925What would become of his cunning and his forethought?
9925What would become of his six days of work?
9925What you been doing all these years?
9925What''s on your mind?
9925What''s the straight of it, Phil?
9925What''s yonder?"
9925Where are they?
9925Where are you going now?"
9925Where is she?"
9925Where was Joe wrong?"
9925Which balances things, do n''t you think?"
9925Which of the men had been absent from the house last night?
9925Which way should he ride?
9925Who but Vance, or the dwellers in the valley, would be able to duly appreciate such beauty?
9925Who had fallen-- Terry, or the sheriff?
9925Who in all the reaches of the mountain desert had ever before dreamed of terming the killing of the notorious Black Jack a"murder"?
9925Who told you they was a gent named Hollis around?"
9925Who''d call you yaller?
9925Whom would he meet?
9925Why ai n''t you made more money yourself, Joe?
9925Why did n''t you send for me?"
9925Why did n''t you speak up in company?
9925Why did not the fool look up?
9925Why do you insist on talking to me of-- him?
9925Why go on?
9925Why not Terry?
9925Why not?
9925Why not?
9925Why should I think of him?"
9925Why should they be mumbling to themselves?
9925Why should you torture yourself for the sake of your pride?"
9925Why, ai n''t you the heir of a rich rancher over the hills?
9925Why, when you think of it, you see how I ca n''t possibly change, do n''t you?
9925Why, you big squarehead, Phil, do n''t we all know that you''d fight a bull with your bare hands?
9925Why?
9925Will you do that?
9925Will you stand aside, Kate?"
9925Will you stay?"
9925Will you wait till tomorrow night, Terry?
9925Will you?
9925With revolvers?"
9925Wo n''t you sit down?"
9925Wo n''t you tell us how it happened?"
9925You ai n''t under oath, or anything, are you?"
9925You all agree with me in that?"
9925You and him, ai n''t you stuck together through thick and thin?
9925You are both armed?
9925You call that nothing?"
9925You can give El Sangre a stretching down the road?"
9925You do n''t know much about the game, I guess?
9925You do n''t need it?"
9925You got turned out for beaning Minter?"
9925You hear me talk?
9925You hear?
9925You know that?"
9925You know what I mean?"
9925You know what''s in it?
9925You remember?
9925You savvy?
9925You saw what he did?"
9925You see?
9925You think I have hated you?
9925You understand, Denver?"
9925You understand, do n''t you?
9925You understand, my dear?"
9925You understand?
9925You understand?
9925You understand?"
9925You''ll ask Terry to come back?
9925You''ll come as quickly as you can?
9925You''ll come to my father''s house?
9925You''ll forgive me for accusing you, and you''ll help me to keep Terry in hand for the next few days?
9925You''re going back to New York in a few days, I suppose?"
9925You''re kinder, more gentle--""Gentle?
42119A horse?
42119A necklace?
42119About a month, I think?
42119About whom, then?
42119Ah?
42119All is explained to me now,he said:"look at that piece of bark: it is pressed and broken as if a rope had been round it, I think?"
42119Am I a child, then?
42119Am I not near you?
42119Am I not?
42119And I, too,the squatter said;"what of that?"
42119And are you going to lead me far?
42119And for you?
42119And learned nothing?
42119And my son has found one?
42119And now?
42119And the others?
42119And the second?
42119And those two reasons are?
42119And when can I go to it, father?
42119And where did he take the wounded man?
42119And who is that friend?
42119And who is this man?
42119And why so, pray? 42119 And you have, you say, in your possession the means of destroying Fray Ambrosio?"
42119And you, Ellen,he asked her;"will you not keep a few of these skins for yourself?"
42119And you, dear child?
42119And you?
42119And-- he is not wounded?
42119Answer, yes or no,the ranger said, roughly;"do you know where he is?"
42119Are there mothers in the great island of the whites who do not love their child?
42119Are we going to breakfast?
42119Are we off?
42119Are you going?
42119Are you not afraid,Don Pablo answered,"of remaining thus alone in the desert, exposed to innumerable dangers, so far from all help?"
42119Are you speaking seriously?
42119Are you sure of the fact?
42119As soon as it is night,Valentine replied;"but where is Curumilla?"
42119At what hour will they come to fetch us?
42119Be off, that is the safest; you can understand that the squatter is now on his guard?
42119Bloodson?
42119Bloodson?
42119But how?
42119But if that be the case, why did you not give me the papers sooner?
42119But suppose it is treachery?
42119But the other tribes are far more numerous than yours?
42119But we shall not be able to stir down there?
42119But what are you doing here?
42119But what use is it to speak thus?
42119But you, my child?
42119But you?
42119But your sister, girl, your sister, what became of her?
42119By what chance are you hunting in the forest at this time of night?
42119By what right do you make yourselves the instruments of divine justice?
42119By whom?
42119Can I thus leave a friend, before his body is placed in the ground?
42119Can Koutonepi be an enemy of my father?
42119Can anything have happened?
42119Can they have discovered our track?
42119Can we have found what we are looking for?
42119Caspita, you are as clever as I am,the monk exclaimed, blushing the while;"what need have we to humbug one another?"
42119Come, come, Niña,the monk remarked, tranquilly,"why lull us with foolish hopes?
42119Come, come,the girl said with a laugh,"your memory is short, master: what, do you not remember White Gazelle?"
42119Come, come,the latter continued,"this is far more amusing than I at first fancied; and how are you indispensable to me?"
42119Come, lad,he said to Nathan,"are you ready?
42119Come,he said in a gentle tone,"we can not stop here all night; can you walk?"
42119Come,he said, in a softer key,"why should old friends quarrel?
42119Did I not tell you it had eaten too much?
42119Did I say Red Cedar?
42119Did my brother speak with Koutonepi?
42119Did not my father ask hospitality of the sachem?
42119Did you fancy that I ran any danger?
42119Did you not hear me?
42119Did you not hear, then, what the man said to me?
42119Did you not notice it before today, father?
42119Do you also owe Fray Ambrosio a grudge?
42119Do you believe it, señor?
42119Do you consider our situation a bad one?
42119Do you fancy I have not guessed it?
42119Do you know any other appellation more correct than that?
42119Do you know any other road, demon?
42119Do you know the contents of these papers, then?
42119Do you know what Heaven may reserve for you between this and then?
42119Do you know where he is?
42119Do you know where we are?
42119Do you not eat with us, child?
42119Do you perceive that the mountain is perpendicular here?
42119Do you suppose, Excellency, that I have had that coffer in my possession for six months, without discovering its contents? 42119 Do you think so?"
42119Do you think so?
42119Do you think so?
42119Do you think you are strong enough to undertake a journey of fifteen leagues?
42119Do you think, then, child, I took the trouble to read it? 42119 Does Nathan take us for children,"she said,"that he tries so clumsily to deceive us?"
42119Does Sunbeam love me?
42119Does my brother think, then, that Unicorn is a child, who can not recognise an animal?
42119Does my daughter love her child?
42119Does my father know him?
42119Does my father know it?
42119Does my mother feel better?
42119Does my son,the chief continued, in an insinuating voice,"know the palefaces who are entrenched on the hill of Mad Buffalo?"
42119Does not my daughter feel grieved at being away from her husband?
42119Does not my mother wish to hear the news I have to tell her?
42119Does your father go away often?
42119Don Valentine,the young man exclaimed, in grief,"would you render that angel responsible for the crimes of a villain?"
42119Ellen, my child,he asked her, in an affectionate voice,"do you feel strong enough to follow us?"
42119Ellen,he said to her kindly,"will you not sit down with us?"
42119Farewell, Don Pablo, the storm is bursting; who knows if you will reach your friends''bivouac safe and sound?
42119Father Seraphin?
42119Father,he muttered,"would you teach me how to make the sign of the cross?"
42119For long?
42119For the last time, will you drink or not?
42119For what good, father? 42119 For what good?"
42119For what good?
42119For what reason?
42119From what the señora has just said to me, you fancy you have in your hands the means of destroying Red Cedar?
42119Good news?
42119Good, I am willing to believe him,the latter went on;"but when did the Comanches begin to take their squaws with them on the war path?"
42119Good; will my brother soon be there?
42119Hang it, what would you have? 42119 Has Red Cedar never spoken about him before you?"
42119Has Spider pledged his word to my daughter?
42119Has he done so long?
42119Have you discovered anything?
42119Have you guessed, then, what I was about to ask of you?
42119Have you killed him?
42119Have you lost your courage too, or discovered any suspicious trail?
42119He has seen my son?
42119He was really wounded?
42119Help for whom, my poor girl?
42119Here I am,she said, with a laugh;"how do you find me?"
42119Here?
42119Hospitality is granted even to an enemy in the desert; is my father ignorant of the customs of the prairie, that he asks it of me?
42119How are you, brother?
42119How are you?
42119How do you know? 42119 How do you know?"
42119How does that concern you, scoundrel?
42119How is he called?
42119How is it that my son, who seems to me a prudent warrior, should have halted here, when so near his chief?
42119How is it,White Gazelle interrupted him,"that you have thus deserted Red Cedar?"
42119How so, caballero?
42119How so? 42119 How so?"
42119How so?
42119How so?
42119How so?
42119How so?
42119How so?
42119How so?
42119How to help her?
42119How to save poor Ellen? 42119 I am as convinced of that as you are; but into whose hands has it fallen?
42119I do not believe it; however, what do I care? 42119 I do not claim any right,"he said quietly,"to control the acts of warriors for am I not a man of peace?"
42119I do see,he replied, and addressing the American, he asked--"Is my brother a warrior in his nation?"
42119I need not tell you, I fancy, the fate that awaits you?
42119I see it-- what next?
42119I should think so; in which direction are we going?
42119I was right, father, was I not? 42119 If I did not, should I have come to you?"
42119If my daughter were separated from her child, what Would she do?
42119If this man was guilty, who tells that repentance has not come at this hour to wash the stains from his soul?
42119In order that our pursuers may lose our trail?
42119In what direction do we go?
42119In what way?
42119Is Spider a chief?
42119Is it far from here?
42119Is it for today, my child?
42119Is it not my duty to do so, father?
42119Is it not?
42119Is it true?
42119Is my brother a chief?
42119Is my brother going down?
42119Is my brother returning to his nation?
42119Is my brother satisfied?
42119Is my mother satisfied?
42119Is my son on the hunting path?
42119Is my son returning to his village?
42119Is not my son with you, chief?
42119Is that all that troubles you?
42119Is that the señorita''s opinion also?
42119Is the chief satisfied with his son?
42119It is miraculous,Don Miguel at length exclaimed;"then you believe Red Cedar went off by that tree?"
42119It is possible,Unicorn muttered;"but what is to be done in the darkness?"
42119It is settled then; you swear that the man on whom the lot falls, will obey without hesitation, and accomplish his task honourably?
42119It is true,the monk coolly replied,"what next?"
42119Koutonepi is wise and intrepid,he said;"loyalty dwells in his heart, but he can not resist-- how to help him?
42119Life is scarce opening for you; then how do you dare to judge the actions of a man?
42119Listen,he said presently,"there is perhaps one way--""What is it?"
42119Look there, warrior,she said, pointing a little to the left"does that look like a man marching?"
42119Look,he said;"what do you see down there?"
42119Must I go alone?
42119My daughter is welcome,he said;"does she ask hospitality of the Apaches?"
42119My father is travelling?
42119My mother knows the contrary,she said;"why does she not place confidence in me?
42119My paleface brother is welcome among his red friends,he said;"has my brother had a good hunt?"
42119My sister wishes to save the palefaces, is it not so?
42119My son is a warrior of the terrible queen of the prairies?
42119No more of this,she went on;"we are going, you said, I think, father?
42119No,he said,"it is not that, but something else; what I feel is not natural: my chest is oppressed, I am choking, what can be happening?"
42119No,she answered, frankly,"what good would it do me?
42119No; for two days, three at the most; is that too long?
42119Nonsense, Don Miguel, how can you say when I have seen you engaged in a hand- to- hand fight with tigers?
42119Nonsense,the girl said, with a laugh;"do you believe it?"
42119Not all,the squatter answered;"did you not hear that accursed Valentine?"
42119Nothing; how does it concern me?
42119Now,she said,"not a word more: we understand one another, I think?"
42119Of course you are aware that Red Cedar and the Trail- hunter had a fight?
42119Off-- where to?
42119Oh, Excellency, that is very simple; you do not know what has become of Red Cedar?
42119Oh, oh,Red Cedar said, with a frown;"what is to be done in that case?"
42119Oh,White Gazelle asked,"what is that?"
42119Oh,he murmured,"who calls me thus?"
42119Oh,the chief said,"what fortunate accident brings my father to my camp?"
42119On my honour I do not think there is; but,he added, with a mocking accent,"why do you not roast the meat?
42119Once again I ask, what is to be done?
42119One hundred?
42119Our bargain holds good?
42119Panther is a wise chief; what can a man do with life when he grows a burden to others? 42119 Pardon you, why?
42119Perhaps so,Valentine, who was reflecting, answered;"where is Red Cedar?"
42119Perhaps you do, Excellency; and if I did not fear appearing impudent to you, I would even say--"What?
42119Poor woman, what do you want here? 42119 Shall we soon arrive?"
42119Since the period of which you speak, then, no sign, no information however slight, has reassured you as to the fate of him you mourn?
42119Sit down, father,he said to him,"you are very hot; will you take some refreshment?"
42119Sleep,the bandit said,"can I sleep?
42119So long as anyone is here to hold the branch, of course it will remain bent; but when we are up and you remain alone, how will you follow us? 42119 Soon?"
42119Soul of my life,he said,"why have you left the village?
42119Still remaining on the trees?
42119Suppose I did, what do you conclude from that?
42119Suppose they spared your life, would you not reveal where your father, brother, and that excellent Fray Ambrosio are?
42119Suppose we sleep here?
42119Take it or leave it,the squatter went on;"do you prefer being captured?"
42119Thanks, child,he said,"you are a good creature; where are we?"
42119That is Curumilla''s signal,said Valentine;"what the deuce can he be up to?"
42119That is better than sleeping, eh?
42119That is possible,the monk answered impudently;"but if we have changed our parts, whose fault is it, pray, mine or yours?
42119That is really strange,the squaw muttered and became serious;"but are you quite sure of what you assert?"
42119That is true,Don Pablo remarked;"but what is to be done?"
42119That is true,he exclaimed;"what was I thinking about?
42119That is true,the Indian said, with a bow;"will my sister set out?"
42119That is true,the chief went on;"what does my father desire?"
42119That is true; but what is to be done?
42119That is true; but you still have, I suppose, the desire to avenge yourself on Fray Ambrosio?
42119That is true; it is easy for us, but how will you join us?
42119That will do,Valentine said, as he turned his head away, not to let the emotion he felt in spite of himself, be noticed;"suppose we feed?
42119The Master of Life protected me, in permitting me to arrive so opportunely; who is the chief about to die?
42119The man is mad,he said, with a shrug of his shoulders, and, turning to his men, added--"where the deuce was your head when you brought him to me?"
42119The sachem can only be the bearer of good news to me; what has he to tell me?
42119The tiger, when attacked in its lair, turns on the hunters,the girl went on, without displaying any emotion;"why do you not follow their example?"
42119Then why does he remain?
42119Then you confess you are not an Indian sorcerer?
42119Then you know where he is?
42119Then your opinion is to grant the meeting?
42119Then, he is coming?
42119Then, why is he going away?
42119Then,Don Miguel said, with a shudder,"you are resolved to make this mad attempt?"
42119Then,Valentine continued, addressing the Indian chief,"I can entirely dispose of your young men?"
42119Then,she continued,"you are about to fly-- fly forever?"
42119Then,she continued,"you will let us fall into the hands of our enemies?"
42119Then,she said,"we will draw nearer to the civilised frontier?"
42119Then?
42119They will be devoted to me?
42119To what tribe does my son belong, then?
42119True again; but you do not know the proverb, eh?
42119Truly?
42119Valentine,he said,"what are you about, my friend?"
42119Very good,the girl exclaimed, with a smile;"then how will you manage that your vengeance does not slip from you?"
42119Very good; that is what we will do; you see that enormous branch jutting out about thirty feet above our heads?
42119Was it now, Excellency? 42119 Was she alone?"
42119Was their great chief Unicorn with them?
42119Well, chief, what is it?
42119Well, do you not understand?
42119Well, gossip,he said,"I suppose we are condemned to spend some time here?"
42119Well, so am I; what is there so amazing in that?
42119Well, then?
42119Well, what does my brother think?
42119Well, what then?
42119Well,Don Miguel asked,"your opinion is that the bear--?"
42119Well,Valentine said,"what is that?"
42119Well,he said to them,"what do you think of that?"
42119Well,he said to them,"you see it is finished; now we must continue our journey; are you ready?"
42119Well,said Don Pablo, pursuing his idea;"what became of Ambrosio?"
42119Well,said the latter with a smile,"do you fancy this a comfortable place for a gossip?"
42119Well,she asked her father,"what are we doing here?
42119Well,she exclaimed,"was it fancy?
42119Well,the monk asked him,"how do you feel now?"
42119Well;Valentine said to them,"shall we be off?"
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119Well?
42119What I want, gossip? 42119 What about?"
42119What accident has brought you here?
42119What animal do you think we have to deal with?
42119What are we to do now?
42119What are we to do now?
42119What are you about, girl?
42119What are you about?
42119What are you about?
42119What are you about?
42119What can I do? 42119 What can I say that my father does not know?"
42119What can there be in common between us?
42119What can those leaves teach you?
42119What did he?
42119What do I care for that scurvy monk?
42119What do I care for that?
42119What do I forget?
42119What do I know? 42119 What do these words mean?"
42119What do you desire?
42119What do you fear?
42119What do you mean, chief?
42119What do you mean, father?
42119What do you mean, my friend?
42119What do you mean, uncle?
42119What do you mean? 42119 What do you mean?
42119What do you mean?
42119What do you mean?
42119What do you mean?
42119What do you mean?
42119What do you mean?
42119What do you mean?
42119What do you say, Valentine?
42119What do you want here?
42119What do you want to arrive at? 42119 What do you want, chief?"
42119What do you want, my girl?
42119What do you want?
42119What does my brother say?
42119What does my father desire?
42119What does my sister say? 42119 What does that mean?"
42119What does that prove?
42119What does the people say?
42119What good is it?
42119What has happened, father? 42119 What have I to fear from these men, to whom I never did any harm?"
42119What have I to fear-- am I not armed?
42119What have you there, chief?
42119What horsemen do you allude to, general I where do you see them?
42119What is happening now?
42119What is he going to do here? 42119 What is it, father?
42119What is it, then, father?
42119What is it, then?
42119What is it?
42119What is it?
42119What is it?
42119What is it?
42119What is its nature?
42119What is that?
42119What is the matter, Valentine?
42119What is the matter?
42119What is there now?
42119What is to be done, then?
42119What is to be done?
42119What is to be done?
42119What is to be done?
42119What is to be done?
42119What is to be done?
42119What is to be done?
42119What is to be done?
42119What is to be done?
42119What is your business with me?
42119What is your opinion?
42119What is your plan?
42119What makes you suppose it?
42119What makes you suppose so?
42119What makes you think so?
42119What matter?
42119What mean these words?
42119What must she have endured?
42119What of that?
42119What other?
42119What reply have you to this?
42119What shall I do?
42119What shall we do?
42119What then?
42119What to do with him?
42119What use is experience?
42119What use is it, dear child?
42119What would I do?
42119What you have to say to me must be very important?
42119What''s the matter with you, and how did you come here?
42119What''s the matter?
42119What, across here?
42119What, again?
42119What, am I a prisoner, then?
42119What, are you tired already, señor Padre?
42119What, you do not understand?
42119What,Red Cedar went on,"are you all silent?
42119What? 42119 What?"
42119What?
42119What?
42119What?
42119When did you notice its disappearance?
42119When shall we start?
42119When?
42119Where are you going to at that rate, my friend?
42119Where are you going, then?
42119Where are you taking me to, my son?
42119Where are you?
42119Where can we go at this advanced season of the year? 42119 Where could provisions be found in this fearful region?"
42119Where do you propose going then?
42119Where is Nathan?
42119Where is he? 42119 Where is my father going?"
42119Where to?
42119While now?
42119Who are the men about to join you in a few hours?
42119Who are the persons who have charges against Red Cedar?
42119Who are those who compel you to fly today?
42119Who are you, then,he said,"who know me so well, and yet I do not remember ever having met you?"
42119Who goes there?
42119Who is that?
42119Who knows, Niña, whether we are not destined to travel in company since I have met you?
42119Who knows, madam? 42119 Who knows?"
42119Who tells you that I wish to defend it?
42119Who the deuce have we here?
42119Who told you I was going, warrior?
42119Whom can you be waiting for at this advanced hour?
42119Whom did you allude to, then?
42119Whom do you allude to?
42119Whom do you mean? 42119 Why cheat ourselves with a wild hope, Don Pablo?
42119Why deceive me, father?
42119Why did you leave the village? 42119 Why did you seize me and bring me here?"
42119Why do you ask this of me?
42119Why do you not sleep, my child?
42119Why false?
42119Why feign longer? 42119 Why go down?"
42119Why have you made us perch on this rock like squirrels?
42119Why jest, chief?
42119Why not? 42119 Why not?"
42119Why not?
42119Why should I, father? 42119 Why so?
42119Why so?
42119Why so?
42119Why so?
42119Why so?
42119Why so?
42119Why so?
42119Why so?
42119Why so?
42119Why so?
42119Why waste time in accusing me, and making this mockery of justice?
42119Why, Caspita, what I say is very easy to understand; without going further, your father, who pledged his word never to desert us--"Well?
42119Why, in misery, think of past joys?
42119Why, you must be mad to annoy me so,he said furiously;"has anything fresh happened?"
42119Why--?
42119Will it quench the thirst that parches my throat?
42119Will my brother listen to the words of a friend?
42119Will my brother remain some days with his red friends?
42119Will my father see?
42119Will you answer yes or no?
42119Will you have it?
42119Will you have my honest opinion?
42119Will you leave us, already, father?
42119Will you undertake it in my stead?
42119Would you assert that it is not true?
42119Would you hope to succeed in what men like myself and my friends, and aided by numerous warriors, could not achieve?
42119Would you make her your wife, then?
42119Yes, it is I,the bandit went on;"does that astonish you, Niña?
42119Yes, what then?
42119Yes, what would you have? 42119 Yes,"she murmured,"but will he believe me?"
42119Yes-- do you know him?
42119Yes; but in what way shall we consult chance?
42119Yes; but why all these questions?
42119Yes; you see that this dead tree seems, as it were, welded to the mountain?
42119You accept, then?
42119You alarm me, my friend; has anything new occurred?
42119You are an ass,Red Cedar answered with contempt;"do I not risk as much as you?
42119You are not deceiving me?
42119You are not lying?
42119You bear a grudge against Red Cedar, I think?
42119You believe so too, father? 42119 You desire it?"
42119You doubtless remember,Bloodson went on,"the compact you made when I admitted you into my cuadrilla?"
42119You have a horse?
42119You hear?
42119You know him as well as I do, señorita?
42119You know the villain killed his daughter?
42119You love me, then?
42119You love the squatter''s daughter?
42119You owe this man a heavy grudge?
42119You remember you expressed a desire some time back to live in the prairie?
42119You still wish me to go?
42119You swear it?
42119You think so?
42119You will do that?
42119You wish to know the names of the assassins of my father, you say, uncle?
42119You wish to save her?
42119You,he said;"did you write to ask me here?"
42119You?
42119Your great warrior has seen my son?
42119Your word is enough; but may I at least know what you intend doing?
42119_ Caramba_, you are not mistaken?
42119A frightful thought then occupied the young man; suppose his friends, despairing of saving him, had abandoned him?
42119Am I mistaken, or has it really formed its nest beneath the thick foliage of the oaks or pines in this valley?"
42119Am I not a friend of the Apaches?"
42119Am I not born to sorrow?"
42119And are you not afraid to hurt your first- born son?"
42119And can you tell me the name of the other?"
42119And do you know what causes that dust?"
42119And in what direction shall we proceed?"
42119And when was this extraordinary change effected?"
42119And why did you not carry out that idea, scoundrel?"
42119And yet, shall I confess it to you?
42119Are not the buffaloes sufficiently numerous?
42119Are you afraid lest your enemies should escape?"
42119Are you convinced?
42119Are you speaking seriously, gossip?"
42119Are you still angry with Red Cedar?"
42119As you see, I display no self- esteem; but what would you have?
42119Black Cat no longer counts the scalps he has taken from his enemies-- what is the reason that renders him sad?"
42119But how has he escaped?
42119But in what state is the sign, chief?"
42119But what can I do alone?"
42119But what were these reasons?
42119But, is it an interesting sport?
42119Can He exist?"
42119Can I be mistaken?
42119Can the redskins be beginning the attack already?"
42119Can we, without cruelty, compel her to follow us on the trail of the villain we are pursuing?
42119Come, chief, are you ready?"
42119Come, reflect, gossip; had not this priest an insult to avenge?"
42119Did I not warn you that we were surrounded?
42119Did he meet the great paleface hunter?"
42119Did he not share with me as a brother the firewater of his gourd, to give me strength to sit my horse, and rejoin the warriors Of my tribe?
42119Did not the pale chief enable me to escape the death that awaited me in the Comanche village?
42119Did you not say we had not a moment to lose?"
42119Do I find, you again after so many years?"
42119Do you ever forgive anybody?
42119Do you fancy I should desert my old companion so?"
42119Do you fancy that we have not known your retreat for a long time?
42119Do you see them?"
42119Do you think this the proper moment for jesting?"
42119Do you understand me now?"
42119Do you want any more?
42119Do you wish to inflict fresh tortures on me?"
42119Does He exist?"
42119Does a night in the woods frighten you so, when your whole life has been spent in the desert?
42119Does he bring me the number of young men I asked of the nation?"
42119Does my son hope to deceive a great medicine man, that he utters such word before him?"
42119Does that suit you?"
42119Does that suit you?"
42119Don Miguel exclaimed;"What, at this elevation?"
42119Don Miguel objected;"but how shall we reach the platform to which you allude?"
42119Don Pablo asked;"Have you seen anything suspicious?"
42119For what reason?
42119Fray Ambrosio muttered;"why not go all together?
42119General Ibañez suddenly asked;"Why do you stop?"
42119Hang me, as no one has yet told you so, I feel very much inclined to do so; what''s your opinion, eh?"
42119Has my brother met the young men of his tribe?"
42119Has not this life been ever mine?"
42119Has she ever found me unkind?"
42119Has the Wacondah troubled her mind?"
42119Have I not guessed aright, gossip?"
42119Have I suffered enough?
42119Have we found the tiger''s lair?"
42119Have you among them any in whom you can trust?"
42119Have you forgotten France entirely, Valentine?"
42119Have you the courage to try it?"
42119Have you these proofs?
42119He has come here on a particular mission?"
42119He therefore went up to her, and bowing courteously, said in a gentle voice--"Why remain thus aloof?
42119How can they be saved?"
42119How could he suppose that two men of such different character and position should be working together?
42119How could you commit so unworthy an action?"
42119How did she come hither?
42119How many warriors have you down there?"
42119I can count on you, my lads, and on you, Fray Ambrosio?"
42119I presume you never had a thought of making Ellen your mistress?"
42119I suppose you are anxious to be off?"
42119If our friend wished to confess, was not I enough?
42119In a word, surrender your own will for a few hours only to follow me?
42119Is Sunbeam a mother?"
42119Is it so or not?"
42119Is not the prairie large enough and wide enough for us?
42119Is that agreed, eh?"
42119Is the measure now full?
42119Is your place among the warriors?
42119It was evidently one of the missionary''s messengers; but what news did he bring?
42119My poor child, why insist on leading this life of danger and fatigue?
42119My son is positively sure that Koutonepi is entrenched on the top of the hill?"
42119Nathan remarked,"to roast this meat, we must enlarge our fire; and how about our pursuers?"
42119Nathan replied;"Does he take me for a child, or does he fancy I am disposed to put up with his insults?
42119Nathan sharply objected,"Are you mad, or did you pretend to save my life, merely to deliver me to our enemies with your own hands?"
42119No, not one of you, I feel convinced, would give me that advice; but what is to be done?
42119Of what can she think but her son?"
42119Of what use should I be in a town among people whose habits or characters I should not understand?"
42119Oh, why am I but a woman, and can do nothing for them?
42119Or was it a farce played by this perverse man to deceive his saviour, and by these means escape the numerous enemies that sought his death?
42119Ought the wife of a chief to join him on the war trail without permission?"
42119Our retreat is discovered, we must fly; that is what you wish to tell me?"
42119Red Cedar has come here, as this mark proves; but you will ask me why he did so?
42119Red Cedar said, suddenly making up his mind,"Why should I make a secret of what concerns you as much as myself?"
42119Reflect ere replying; my friends, are you firmly resolved to follow me, and obey me in all I order, without hesitation or murmuring?
42119Rise, father, and set Nathan free; and you, brother, give me your knife-- should such a contest take place between father and son?"
42119Ruin me, you mean,"Don Pablo continued, with a smile of contempt;"do you fancy me so foolish?
42119Since I have succeeded in deceiving this man, why should I not do the same with the others?"
42119Since daybreak he has left us to go-- the deuce alone knows where?
42119Speak then, Valentine: what is to be done?
42119Still, you will permit me to remark that it is an extraordinary thing your father has not yet returned?"
42119Suddenly a rough hand was laid on her shoulder, and a mocking voice muttered in her ear:--"Hilloh, Niña, what are you doing so far from the camp?
42119That is my second reason, Don Miguel; what do you think of it?"
42119That is not asking too much I suppose?"
42119That''s a strange question: do n''t you know it as well as I do?"
42119The maiden was only half duped by this falsehood: but how did it concern her?
42119Then, in your opinion, there is no hope?"
42119There is not a man on the prairies who has not a terrible account to settle with that vile bandit?"
42119There was a long silence, which Sunbeam at last broke by saying, with a meaning smile--"My mother had something to ask of me?"
42119Thus, it is as plain to you as it is to me, that Red Cedar came here?"
42119To what occupier do you allude?"
42119Unicorn said with astonishment,"What is my brother doing there?"
42119Unicorn said, to whom White Gazelle had whispered,"What was Red Cedar''s son doing in the camp of the Comanches?"
42119Valentine answered;"Who knows whether this scrap of paper may not contain the salvation of all of us?"
42119Valentine asked, with a smile:"Can it be food?"
42119Valentine said in surprise;"What to do?"
42119Valentine said,"Can the bear be at any tricks?"
42119Was it jealousy or base envy?
42119Was the evil angel defeated?
42119Well, chief, to what does that sign belong?"
42119Well, what have you to say to us?"
42119What do I care for life if I may never see you again?
42119What does my mother wish to do?"
42119What had he to fear in being killed?
42119What happened then?
42119What has happened?
42119What is that?"
42119What is there dearer to a mother than her child?"
42119What is your son''s name?"
42119What more?
42119What name will you give to your conduct save that of a traitor?"
42119What shall I do to reach her?"
42119What the deuce sets you roaming about at this time of night, at the risk of having an unpleasant encounter?"
42119What warrior could contend with him on the prairie?"
42119What will become of her, if you die?"
42119What would you have?
42119What, Nathan, would you strike your father?
42119What, is my brother one of the Ministers of the Great Turtle?"
42119When all was ready, the sachem placed himself by the head of the corpse, and addressing the company, said:"Why do you weep?
42119Where am I?"
42119Where can he have fled?"
42119Where is he going?
42119Where shall I find you again?"
42119Where the deuce do you come from?
42119Which way do you think my son will come, father?
42119Who can hope to escape discovery in the desert?
42119Who doubts it, my dear general?"
42119Who knows what awaits them on turning from the road they are now following so peacefully?"
42119Who knows?
42119Who knows?"
42119Who will sacrifice himself to save his comrades?"
42119Whose turn next?"
42119Why do we not start?
42119Why do you lament?
42119Why do you weep?
42119Why have you come in such haste?"
42119Why should we not be friends?
42119Will not my mother receive the necklace her son sends her?"
42119Will not the sun soon set?
42119Will you play with me again?"
42119With such signs, I ask my sister can a man be deceived?"
42119Yes, you are very pretty, Niña, do n''t you know it?
42119You are quite convinced of this, I fancy?"
42119You do not love me?"
42119You know how my friend Don Miguel Zarate suffered through Red Cedar, I think?"
42119You know that as well as I do, I think?"
42119You must fancy yourself very near death to be so frightened?
42119You must think me very foolish to tell you all this, father: but of what can a mother speak, save of her son?
42119You understand me, I think?"
42119You will consent then, father, to accompany us to the frontier?"
42119Your life is in my hands-- what do you say?
42119_ Viva Dios!_ you were giving me a fine character in my absence; is that the way in which you understand Christian charity, gossip?
42119he asked on seeing her,"What news?"
42119he continued, tenderly;"What do you remember of your youthful years?"
42119he exclaimed anxiously,"Can she be dead?
42119he exclaimed,"What is left me now?"
42119he exclaimed;"Can it be possible?
42119he muttered in astonishment;"What serious reason can bring him here, at such an hour and in such haste?"
42119he said in a hollow voice,"Is that you, old squatter?
42119he said, speaking to himself in a low hoarse voice;"Can I be approaching the consummation of the object to which I have devoted my life?"
42119he said, with horror,"Can you have such thoughts?
42119he shouted;"How does it concern you whether your sister eats or not?
42119it is really you?
42119said Red Cedar,"That is a lucky find; where did you steal that, lad?"
42119said Stanapat,"And what has my son seen which his brothers did not discover?"
42119said the hunter, as his face brightened;"how many warriors have you?"
42119said the sachem;"my son is not mistaken; he has recognised the trail?"
42119she asked in a trembling voice;"Are you going to leave me?"
42119she asked;"My child is myself, is it not my flesh and blood?
42119she continued, with a sigh,"Am I not your daughter, and must undergo the consequences of the life you have chosen?"
42119she continued,"Instead of, then yielding to despair, why not pray, brothers?
42119she exclaimed,"what means that word on your lips?"
42119she repeated, in surprise, not understanding what the woman meant;"What am I to do with it?"
42119she said"What can I feel afraid of?"
42119she said, hurriedly, as she gave her a piercing glance;"has my son arrived?"
42119she said, shaking her head mournfully;"Why should I tell you of these things-- you, above all, who are my direst enemy?
42119she said, with an accent of soft reproach,"We should be so happy there; why not return at once?"
42119she said,"What charge have you to bring against that worthy man?"
42119she said,"What means this?"
42119that is not very probable; your father and brother are in the vicinity through the same accident, I suppose?"
42119the Frenchman said, with astonishment;"Are you not here, like all the members of your nation, to seize my friends and myself?"
42119the Indian said in surprise;"Where does my father come from, then?"
42119the chief said;"Can that be true?
42119the first speaker interposed,"What is that you are saying?
42119the gambusino said,"Canelo, where is my rifle?
42119the general objected;"Do you think they are coming in this direction?"
42119the girl exclaimed, as she writhed her hands in despair,"Am I not sufficiently punished, Don, Pablo?
42119the hunter asked in astonishment;"is Red Cedar your enemy?"
42119the monk exclaimed gleefully,"How did you discover this hiding place?"
42119the monk remarked with a growl;"Is this young woman so sacred, that you should fire up at the slightest word addressed to her?"
42119the monk said, as he peered down into the hole, which was dark as pitch;"Have we got to go down there?"
42119the monk whispered Sutter,"did I not tell you the demon was on our side?
42119the old lady said, carelessly, seeing that Sunbeam stopped;"and where is the chief at this moment?"
42119the other muttered, with a movement of terror;"But what is happening fresh?"
42119the ranchero asked quickly;"we are comfortable together, then why should we separate?"
42119the squatter suddenly asked;"has he fallen off?"
42119the squatter yelled, as he bounded like a panther and seized Fray Ambrosio by the arm,"What did you say, monk?"
42119the young man shouted, as he uncocked his pistols, and returned them to his holsters;"What the deuce are you doing here, Don Valentine?"
42119what does my brother suppose, then?"
9867A brother? 9867 A hard ride?"
9867A second?
9867After a woman?
9867After all, what difference does it make? 9867 Ah, Pierre le Rouge, what have I done?"
9867Ah, but as deeply as that?
9867Ah?
9867All of it?
9867All the time that we are gone, you will never say things like this, Dick?
9867Am I responsible if the blockhead has got drunk someplace?
9867And Branch?
9867And Diaz?
9867And about her hair-- I think you said it was black?
9867And face dad afterward?
9867And for clothes, Jack?
9867And go unarmed through the mountains? 9867 And he told you he loved you?"
9867And if I were a grown- up girl, do you know what I would answer?
9867And in the meantime?
9867And now?
9867And the horse, Jack?
9867And the trouble?
9867And they say that of you?
9867And we''re pals-- you and me, like the rest of''em?
9867And you ai n''t mad at me, Pierre?
9867And you dared to come to the dance? 9867 And you do n''t hate me-- you hold no grudge against me for the sake of your mother?"
9867And you''ll go alone?
9867And you''ve never noticed anything different about her? 9867 And you, Jack, had her interests at heart-- her best interests, poor girl, and did n''t tell her?"
9867And you, lad?
9867And yours, Pierre?
9867Another? 9867 Answer me-- your yellow hair against mine-- your child fingers against my grip-- are you equal with me?"
9867Any results?
9867Are you afraid, Dick?
9867Are you afraid?
9867Are you going to let him die?
9867Are you not my father? 9867 Are you ready?"
9867Ask Jack if she loves me? 9867 At least you know that he''s still alive?"
9867Because he''s on the trail--"On the trail?
9867Because of me?
9867Broke? 9867 But I''ve heard-- tell me, why am I under guard?"
9867But are they coming your way?
9867But he did n''t come back to me?
9867But in all those miles of mountains they may never meet?
9867But the black dress?
9867But this is final?
9867But what will be your proof, Dick, whether I win or lose?
9867But where''d you buy those duds, pal? 9867 But you''ve given him up?"
9867Buy?
9867By the Lord, have they been missing me?
9867Can you leave me so easily?
9867Could he have fallen into the river?
9867D''you mean to tell me that you had the nerve to come all the way up the Old Crow by yourself?
9867D''you mean?
9867Damn you, Gandil, I''ve borne with you and your croaking too long, d''ye hear? 9867 Dare what?"
9867Dear Pierre, then for your mother?
9867Dick, why did n''t you fire?
9867Did you say''was''Dick Wilbur?
9867Do I? 9867 Do n''t you know him?"
9867Do n''t you see the kid''s green? 9867 Do n''t you see, Mary, or are you still blind as I was ever since I saw you tonight?
9867Do n''t you see? 9867 Do n''t you see?
9867Do n''t you see? 9867 Do you believe in it so much-- really-- Pierre?"
9867Do you believe, Pierre?
9867Do you know?
9867Do you like it?
9867Do you mean that I''m rude or rough with you, Jacqueline?
9867Do you mind?
9867Do you need a wrap?
9867Do you want to take me, Pierre?
9867Do you want to wait till tomorrow?
9867Does it have to be this way?
9867Even Jack?
9867Even as I am, what prevents us, Pierre?
9867Expects? 9867 Fire?
9867Follow Pierre le Rouge?
9867Gandil?
9867Going to tie me up?
9867Grinning still? 9867 Harp on her?"
9867Has he sent you after me with mockery?
9867Has she never appealed to you as a woman, Pierre?
9867Have n''t I played a game all my life with the fair ladies? 9867 Have you got that much money, lad?"
9867He really expects to keep me here?
9867He-- he would have kept my flesh and blood away from me?
9867How could she? 9867 How do you know?"
9867How long since you''ve eaten?
9867How much?
9867How old''s the gun?
9867How will you die, McGurk? 9867 How''s the chances for a dance with the girl, partner?"
9867I do n''t know of any, do you?
9867I suppose that he made love to you one minute and the next told you that bad luck-- something about the cross-- kept him away from you?
9867I suppose we''re still broke, Pierre?
9867I thought he was one of old Boone''s gang? 9867 I''m going to get some books for you, Jack, and we''ll do a bit of reading on the side, shall we?"
9867I, lad? 9867 I-- living with a woman?"
9867I? 9867 I?
9867If you were a grown- up girl, do you know what I''d say?
9867If you''d rather have me shoot you down in cold blood?
9867In the name of God, Pierre, what has happened to you?
9867Interested in him, eh?
9867Irritates you a little, eh? 9867 Is he as sure as that, Jack?"
9867Is it you who followed me up the valley?
9867Is it you, Bud, or you, Phil, or you, Jim, or maybe me?
9867Is it you?
9867Is it?
9867Is something troubling you, Jack?
9867Is that your answer?
9867Is there any harm in words?
9867Is there enough on the table to buy the gun?
9867Is there no other way, Pierre?
9867Is this a lockup-- a jail?
9867It carries the con- conno-- what''s that word, Pierre?
9867It''s a bigger job than this one?
9867Jack, are you vain?
9867Jack, do n''t you love your old dad anymore?
9867Jack, how am I to risk you in the arms of all the strangers in that dance? 9867 Jack, you are n''t angry, are you?
9867Jack? 9867 Jack?"
9867Jim, do you chalk all this up against me?
9867Legend? 9867 Legends?"
9867Lies?
9867Like this year?
9867Like what? 9867 Look here, kid, if you''re tryin''to play a charity game with me--""Charity?"
9867Love-- you-- your tiger- heart? 9867 Luck?"
9867Lying?
9867Mad?
9867Making a study of them two for a book?
9867Making yourself to home?
9867Marry-- me?
9867McGurk, are you going to pin me down in this?
9867Might even be carried to him, eh-- feet first?
9867Nearest to a man?
9867No, you would keep it; and every time you touched it you would think of me, Pierre, would you not?
9867No? 9867 Not for all the people who love you and wait for you now by some warm fire-- some cozy fire, all yellow and bright?"
9867Now you go back on his trail? 9867 On your honor, Jack, it''s not Gandil?"
9867Our Jack-- did this?
9867Partners, Dick?
9867Pierre, and he''s calling for-- d''you hear?
9867Pierre, are you going to nag me about a little thing like that?
9867Pierre, what claim has he upon you? 9867 Pierre, what was that?"
9867Pierre, you are not going to face McGurk? 9867 Pierre--""Well?"
9867Pierre? 9867 Pierre?
9867Point that gun another way, will you, son?
9867Poor?
9867Really?
9867Red Pierre had killed the woman''s husband?
9867Romantic? 9867 Round up the sheriffs from here to the end of the mountains?"
9867Run?
9867Sat down and cried, eh?
9867Say, kid, why do n''t you try your luck with Mac Hurley? 9867 She found him?"
9867She is with you, McGurk?
9867She was lining out for the stable and then a minute later I saw her swing a saddle onto-- what horse d''you think?
9867Sin? 9867 Sleepy?"
9867So I got sympathetic--"About the first time on record that you''ve been sympathetic with another girl, eh?
9867So he''s gone?
9867So it''s to be this way, Jack?
9867So soon? 9867 So that''s Red Pierre?"
9867So that''s it? 9867 Some bloodhound reincarnated?"
9867Son?
9867Started down the wrong way?
9867Stay?
9867Stick up a train?
9867Sure? 9867 Tell me anything you can,"said Pierre gently,"because I''ve got to try to be like him, have n''t I?"
9867Tell me,she said,"was-- was this man living with you when he came to me and-- and made speeches-- about love?"
9867That,said the taller stranger,"ought to do very nicely for us, eh?"
9867The coin I''ve lost to you? 9867 The cross goes on, but what of you, Jack?"
9867The cross?
9867The hope?
9867The horse, Father Victor-- may I have the roan?
9867The old life over again?
9867Then I suppose you put the hitch that''s on that pack outside?
9867Then we''re friends?
9867There''s no chance of bringing help?
9867This girl? 9867 This glove I found on the floor?"
9867This is my father''s writing, is it not?
9867This?
9867To rob the Berwin Bank?
9867True? 9867 Trust you?
9867Unless you''ll go with me, Dick?
9867Up there? 9867 Was he married twice?"
9867Well, he''s a rather romantic figure, do n''t you think?
9867Well,he snapped,"what''s up?
9867Well?
9867Well?
9867Well?
9867Wh- wh- what?
9867What are you?
9867What are you?
9867What do you know of Red Pierre?
9867What do you mean?
9867What do you mean?
9867What do you mean?
9867What do you want me to say? 9867 What do you want with him?"
9867What does''ingenious''mean?
9867What else?
9867What girl?
9867What happened?
9867What have I done, Dick, to deserve the care you have for me?
9867What is it, Jack?
9867What is it, boy? 9867 What is it, then?
9867What is it?
9867What is it?
9867What is this man McGurk? 9867 What miracle saved you?"
9867What of Diaz?
9867What question?
9867What were you started for?
9867What would I do with him?
9867What you doing?
9867What''s ahead of us, Jack? 9867 What''s become of Branch?
9867What''s happened?
9867What''s that?
9867What''s the second request?
9867What''s this? 9867 What''s this?"
9867What''s up with Gandil?
9867What''s up? 9867 What''s your answer?"
9867What''s your name?
9867What?
9867What?
9867When I was found-- was anyone else with me?
9867When do you start?
9867Where will you go to hunt for him?
9867Where''s McGurk?
9867Where''s Patterson?
9867Which way did she ride? 9867 White-- vanished at once-- went into the dark as fast as a horse can gallop?"
9867Who does?
9867Who is your father?
9867Who shall it be?
9867Who was it?
9867Who was the silent man?
9867Who''ll-- say, kid, are you stringin''me, or are you drunk? 9867 Who''s your father?"
9867Who?
9867Why not something more than partners, after a while, Jack?
9867Why not? 9867 Why not?"
9867Why should I use it against a night rider, McGurk? 9867 Why should I weep?"
9867Why should n''t I stay? 9867 Why?"
9867Why?
9867Why?
9867Why?
9867Why?
9867Will you shake and call it square?
9867Will you take odds?
9867With Jack? 9867 With me?"
9867With whom do you want to dance? 9867 With you?
9867Wo n''t you see? 9867 Yes; what else?"
9867Yes?
9867Yes?
9867You are going?
9867You forgive me, Dick?
9867You have heard of the wild men of the mountains, and the long- riders?
9867You have to leave us, and never come back?
9867You killed McGurk?
9867You poor, white- faced, whimpering fool,snarled the boy, gripping at his gun again,"d''you dream that you''re the one that''s picked out for Pierre?
9867You remember what I said, Jim?
9867You saw what?
9867You say Dick Wilbur is dead?
9867You say you hate him?
9867You see how careful he''d been all those years while he was piling up his fortune? 9867 You see?
9867You see?
9867You two did n''t have a very agreeable time of it? 9867 You''re his son?"
9867You''ve never traveled alone, and yet you''d go up there and brave everything that comes for the sake of Pierre? 9867 You''ve taken holy orders, lad?"
9867Youngster, eh?
9867_ Let_ it happen? 9867 _ You''d_ bring Pierre anywhere?
9867A dance?"
9867A dance?"
9867A gun do n''t keep me from talking sense, does it?
9867A new tone came in the voice of the boy as he asked:"Was a woman with you?"
9867Above, a sign said:"You only get married once; why do n''t you do it up right?"
9867After a little it came, and louder this time:"Pierre?"
9867After a while he was able to say, in a faint voice:"Are you very cold?"
9867After he lighted it he said:"Ready to talk yet, partner?"
9867After we''ve been together on such a night, how can we ever be apart again?"
9867Almost at once they caught the overtone of human joyousness, and they turned with smiles to each other, and it was"Pierre?"
9867Also, how explain the hunger of that stare?
9867Am I worthy of him?"
9867And Black Gandil answered:"We''ll match, eh?"
9867And Dick Wilbur?"
9867And Pierre le Rouge and Jacqueline?
9867And Pierre said:"What makes you think you know that trouble''s coming, Morgan?"
9867And have I anything to show for it except laughter?
9867And how I gave you your first gun?
9867And how I''ve given you the love of a blood- brother to take the place of the brother who died?
9867And how I''ve kept you in a clean and pure respect such as a man can only give once in his life-- and then only to his dearest friend?
9867And how I''ve never treated you otherwise than as a man?
9867And how I''ve stayed between you and danger a thousand times?
9867And she would n''t see reason even when you explained that you and I are like brothers?"
9867And she?"
9867And this girl with the yellow hair--""Why do you harp on her?"
9867And what appeal could affect Mac Hurley?
9867Are you afraid of him now?"
9867Are you going to leave your gun?"
9867Are you going to make me crawl to explain?
9867Are you mad at me for letting anyone come into this place?"
9867Are you out with me?"
9867Are you ready?"
9867Are you ready?"
9867Are you ready?"
9867Are you ready?"
9867Are you scared of me, boy?"
9867Are you turnin''into a woman, Jack?"
9867At last he propped himself on one elbow, shook a small, white- knuckled fist under the nose of Mary, and cried:"Then what would he do with you?"
9867Behind them, from the bed in the corner, a feeble voice called:"Who''s there?"
9867Besides, you''ve got to ask her for that dance, eh?"
9867But about this glove?"
9867But before I go, tell me one thing: Have you left the cabin to search for Pierre le Rouge in another place?"
9867But even if Hurley was n''t enough, what about Carl Diaz?"
9867But he?
9867But how could it have happened?
9867But how could they tell from the passing of those ringing hoofs that Pierre, the novice, was dead, and Red Pierre was born?
9867But how''ll I get away with all that fluffy stuff, eh?"
9867But if Wilbur were not here, where had he gone?
9867But she cried in a strong voice:"McGurk, d''you know me?"
9867But you-- Pierre, where can we go?"
9867By God, boy, no matter what I''ve done, is it sin for my son to come to me?
9867By the way, she must have left in rather a hurry to forget her glove, eh?"
9867Ca n''t beat that, can you?"
9867Ca n''t you trust me Jack?"
9867Can I carry a fortune like that back to her?
9867Can I help you out by myself, or do you need the gang?"
9867Can you face that devil alone?"
9867Can you walk, Dick?"
9867Come up alone?"
9867D''ye hear?
9867D''you hear?"
9867D''you hear?"
9867D''you mean to say that you ai n''t heard of Carlos Diaz?"
9867D''you see?"
9867D''you think I''m yaller enough to sell my six?
9867D''you think a man that''s used to breathing in a whirlwind can get used to living in calm air?
9867D''you understand?"
9867Dad, if you put out Pierre what is left?
9867Did she not ride under the very shadow of that frown with her two horses?
9867Did you know him?"
9867Did you look for the footprints?"
9867Do n''t you hear me?
9867Do n''t you see?
9867Do you accept it, Pierre?"
9867Do you doubt it now, Mary?"
9867Do you know each other?
9867Do you think it was someone?"
9867Do you think my father and-- and Dick Wilbur would fear any man who could be hurt?
9867Dodging me, eh?
9867Does that fill your cup of water, Pierre, eh?"
9867Epilogue But what of the legendary gunfighter, McGurk?
9867Father Anthony said gently:"Are there none among all your lads, dear Father Victor, whom you find something more than imperfect machines?"
9867Gandil, snarling from one side of his mouth, answered:"Where''s Patterson?"
9867Get me?"
9867Had he not met the first and last test triumphantly?
9867Has n''t he returned?"
9867Have I?"
9867He answered with a ring of melancholy:"Friendship?
9867He blurted:"Tired?"
9867He continued in an almost kindly tone:"What would you do with a wild man like Red Pierre?
9867He cried:"By God, Pierre, what do you mean?"
9867He finished hoarsely:"What the hell''s this?"
9867He had driven McGurk from the ranges, and where would the penalty fall on those who were near and dear to him?
9867He hasn''t-- he has n''t changed-- Jack?"
9867He hunted his mind, and then:"One of the boys has angered you, Jack?"
9867He said after an uncomfortable moment of that silent staring:"Well, partner, there ai n''t a hell of a lot to get sore over, is there?
9867He said with wonder:"Have n''t you guessed?"
9867He said:"D''you think he''s just bein''driven around by chance?
9867He said:"Do you deny yourself even the pleasure of the lad''s company?
9867He said:"It''s because you do n''t want to be treated like a silly girl; eh, Jack?"
9867He said:"None of the rest of them had the guts even to bring me the message, eh?"
9867He said:"Of course, if you have enough--""I-- enough?"
9867He said:"Suppose I stop raising questions or making a fight, but give you my hand and call myself a member--""Of the family?
9867He was saying easily:"This is your dance, is n''t it?"
9867He went on:"But the dance, what of that?
9867He went on:"Would he wear you around his neck like a watch charm?"
9867He whispered:"You''re Red Pierre?"
9867He''d be a bad man in a mix, eh?"
9867Her tone changed, softened:"But what of me, Pierre?"
9867Here he was come to the crest of all the ranges; here he was come to the height and limit of his life, and what had he attained?
9867How can you care for a white- faced little fool like that?
9867How could he know, dumb brute, that what he asked only death could answer?
9867How could he tell that her voice was gone so gentle because she was seeing in her mind''s eye another face than his?
9867How could the spirit of any man survive that terrible defeat at the hands of Red Pierre?
9867How long ago had that been?
9867How long is it going to take you to clear out of the country?"
9867How long will she be here?
9867I ask you, is that the sort of a woman that''s meant for Pierre?"
9867I ask you, will you hear him for me, and then pass on whether or not you try his game?"
9867I know you too well, and if you try the same thing on me again--""Well?"
9867I know_ that_ much about Red Pierre; but who does n''t?"
9867If all the men in the ranges ca n''t catch him, or make him budge an inch out of the way he''s picked, do you think you could stir him?"
9867If he went on with the wind, how long would it be before he reached a house?
9867If one of the men rides a bucking horse successfully, someone is sure to say:''Who taught you what you know, Bud-- McGurk?''
9867If there''s a thunder- cloud all over the sky, do you know where the lightning''s going to strike?"
9867If you did that I''d know it was because you were wantin''something, Pierre, eh?"
9867Instead of replying he said:"You''ve got a slicker on?"
9867Is n''t it a little odd that you did n''t keep her here?"
9867Is she your match?
9867Is she your mate?"
9867It hurt him infinitely, and he called gently:"Jack, why are you weeping?"
9867It is death for Pierre?"
9867It may not be the cross-- I do n''t suppose you believe in superstition like that, Miss Brown?"
9867It was a miracle that I escaped, and the miracle must have been worked by your cross; do you remember?"
9867It would come to him again, but now it was gone, and he murmured, smiling:"I wonder?"
9867It''s never happened, has it?"
9867Jack, how did you and-- What the hell''s your name, lad?"
9867Jack, why did you do it?"
9867Jack?"
9867Jacqueline turned in great excitement to Mary:"Did McGurk hear that sound down the gorge?"
9867Kind of a hard one, was n''t he?"
9867Lady, d''you think he even_ wants_ to get out of this life of his?
9867Legend?
9867May I take him?"
9867Murder you?"
9867No?
9867Now, what''s the second part?"
9867Oh, wo n''t you go?"
9867On foot or on horseback?"
9867Otherwise, how could there be that singular calm in the steady eyes which looked across at him?
9867Out of the inner room the pleasant voice which he dreaded answered:"What''s up?"
9867Patterson has gone, and now you, and perhaps Jack-- well, this is good- bye, Dick?"
9867Patterson?
9867Phil Branch had not spoken, as usual, but now he repeated, with rapt, far- off eyes:"''Hurley was hurt in the wrist and Diaz died?''
9867Pierre, are you playing a game with me?"
9867Pierre, to make me happy, will you go?
9867Safe?
9867Say, partner, you ai n''t meanin''to say that you do n''t know who Hurley is?"
9867Shall we not carry it to him?
9867She cried again:"Who''s there?"
9867She cried:"What will you have of me?"
9867She cringed at the thought, for what was she that a man should die in her service?
9867She dared not question him in that mood, so she ventured again:"The old boy shooting left- handed-- didn''t he even fan the wind near you?"
9867She ran to him with a cry of dismay:"Pierre, what''s wrong with me?"
9867She said at length:"Would a night like this stop Pierre-- or McGurk?"
9867She said:"Is n''t there anything that will keep you from going?"
9867She said:"Pierre, have you forgotten that when you were only a boy you stood up to McGurk and drew blood from him?
9867She said:"You ca n''t budge the tree?"
9867She stepped back, asking:"Well?"
9867She turned at the door and snapped back:"You?
9867She ventured cautiously, after seeing that he was eating with appetite:"How does the pin look?"
9867She waited a moment and then queried with exaggerated impudence:"Well?"
9867She was too much moved to speak for a moment, and then:"You come to me in spite of that?
9867She went on:"And this McGurk-- what do you mean when you say that Pierre is on his trail?"
9867She would n''t listen-- even when you talked to her like this?"
9867She''s not alone?"
9867Shoot?
9867So old Mart Ryder has come down to this, eh?
9867Suppose we camp here, eat, get a bit of sleep, and then start again?"
9867Take back a gamblin''debt?"
9867Take you-- to Pierre?"
9867Tell me at least what came to Dick Wilbur?"
9867Tell me which way she rode?
9867Tell me, are you angry?"
9867Tell me, what is McGurk?"
9867Tell me, why is it that you come so stealthily to see me and run away as soon as anyone else appears?"
9867Tell me: what''ll you do with him?"
9867That was the meaning, then, of those silences that had come between them?
9867That''s queer, is n''t it?
9867The boy asked in astonishment:"Would you not have me go, Father?"
9867The first to break the long silence was Jim Boone, with"Who brings in the wood?"
9867The gambler blurted:"What''s happening to you, kid?"
9867The little cross under your neck?"
9867The money for that corner plot where the grass grew first in the spring of the year-- where was he to find it?
9867The other answered:"I have seen a wonderful body-- but the mind, Father Victor?"
9867The other twisted her hands together, moaning:"And I have followed him, even to the place where he keeps his-- woman?
9867The other two looked askance at him, and the owner of the game growled:"Gimme room for the coins, stranger, will you?"
9867The question seemed to infuriate young Jack, who cried:"Ai n''t that a fool way of talkin''?
9867The signal?
9867Then he said through set teeth:"So you come up here trailin''him after you, eh?"
9867Then he said:"This girl-- what did you call her?"
9867Then she gripped at the butt of her gun, an habitual trick when she was very angry, and cried:"Do I have to sit here and let you call me-- that?
9867Then the voice said sharply:"Did Wilbur lie to me?"
9867Then you''ll come out and have supper with us, Jack?"
9867There ai n''t no disgrace in that; eh, pals?"
9867There was an ominous sound from Pierre:"Do you let a thing like that happen in this country?"
9867There''s a charm over him, do n''t you see?"
9867They ran from the room together, and as they passed through the room below Wilbur called after them:"The dance?"
9867This Jack of ours?"
9867To begin with-- she''s rather pleasant to look at, do n''t you think?"
9867Tomorrow--""Tomorrow, Pierre?"
9867Too long, and I''ll hear no more of it, understand?"
9867Understand?"
9867Understand?"
9867Was it McGurk, Pierre?"
9867Was it to track down Pierre?
9867Was not he McGurk, and was not this man whom he had already once shot down?
9867Was she not armed?
9867We''ll make our fire just inside the trees and carry water up from the river, eh?"
9867We''re the last of the gang?"
9867What could she do wandering by herself?
9867What debt have you to repay?"
9867What had she lost?
9867What happened?"
9867What harm could come to her?
9867What harm is there in being often with the lad?"
9867What has he done to deserve it, Mary?".
9867What is it?"
9867What is it?"
9867What is it?"
9867What is it?"
9867What is your name?"
9867What mattered that imaginary figure of moving white?
9867What place was there in Red Pierre for solemn qualms of conscience?
9867What right have I here?
9867What shall I sing for you now, Pierre?"
9867What shall I take?"
9867What sin?"
9867What was McGurk?
9867What was the man for whom Pierre hunted?
9867What will men say when they see McGurk with an empty holster?"
9867What will you lay ag''in''it?"
9867What''ll you do to save him now?
9867What''s that again?"
9867What''s that?"
9867What''s the matter, kid; you''ve met McGurk?"
9867What''s the use of fighting any longer?
9867What''s there?"
9867What''s up?"
9867What''s wrong?"
9867What, then, was left for her?
9867When I reach ten we fire?"
9867When he spoke it was only to say:"Did she stay long?"
9867Where''s the wound?"
9867Which is it, Pierre?"
9867Which is it?
9867Which way did she ride-- up or down the valley?"
9867Which way did they ride?"
9867Who calls him a Jonah?"
9867Who else will bet?"
9867Who''ll stake me to a drink?"
9867Who''ll stop him?
9867Who''s next?"
9867Who''s next?"
9867Who''s that beside you?
9867Who''s the man you want us to put out?"
9867Who''s your friend?"
9867Who?"
9867Why are you afraid, Jack?"
9867Why do n''t you speak?
9867Why had this scourge of the mountain- desert spared her?
9867Why?
9867Why?"
9867Will you go East with me, and home?
9867Will you go back?"
9867Will you ride home with us?"
9867Will you see that he goes?"
9867Will you sing again?"
9867Will you take that chance and come with me?"
9867Will you tell me what''s between you, Pierre?
9867Without the cross to bring me luck, how could I meet him?
9867Without turning her head she answered:"Do you want to know why?"
9867You do n''t figure you''re a mate for McGurk, do you?"
9867You do n''t mind if I go on sleeping?
9867You do n''t mind me being frank, do you, Pierre?"
9867You do n''t trust the power of the cross?"
9867You do n''t?
9867You know it?
9867You remember how the tree crushed me down into the snow?
9867You see that?
9867You see what you''ve done?
9867You shall have every advantage, you see?
9867You trust all to the cross, eh, Pierre?
9867repeated Pierre stupidly; then:"And you knew she would be going out to him when she left this house?"
56626A skin fur a skin, huh?
56626A weddin'', huh? 56626 Ai n''t anythin''more I can do, is there?"
56626Ai n''t he gettin''pretty far ahead?
56626Ai n''t his hoss back?
56626Ai n''t that dusty work?
56626Ai n''t that flour?
56626Aimin''to fall in th''crick? 56626 Aimin''to get me into a two- handed game of somethin''?"
56626Aimin''to start a herd up th''trail?
56626Aimin''to tackle it this fall?
56626All of which I admits is interestin'',said Cimarron;"but what is it all about?"
56626An''I''m wantin''to know,said Johnny,"what kind of barb wire is sold down in these parts?"
56626An''how old was you, Doctor?
56626An''these other ranches are settin''back an''watchin''a sick man, a woman, an''a kid get robbed?
56626An''what are_ you_ goin''to get?
56626An''what do you know about workin''hard?
56626An''what have I got to face?
56626An''where''s yore six- shooter? 56626 An''why th''waggin?"
56626Any Bar H or Triangle_ hombre_ think they can get any of this?
56626Any more hard luck comin''this evenin''?
56626Anybody else hungry?
56626Anybody goin''to be in town tonight?
56626Anythin''else I can give you a hand with?
56626Are you aimin''to bum around Highbank, or get yoreself a new job an''keep out of mischief?
56626Are you crying my dear?
56626Are you getting to believe in luck?
56626Are you hearin''that, too?
56626Are you punchin''?
56626Are you still thinkin''of a gamble?
56626At th''end of a rope? 56626 Been sunnin''yoreself?"
56626Been takin''life easy an''lettin''''em go?
56626Ben, how much has Nelson taken away from you?

56626But ai n''t yore throat dusty?
56626But how''d he get Squint''s outfit?
56626But where did he git that dollar? 56626 But why are you tellin''all this to me?"
56626Buy primers, an powder, too?
56626Ca n''t somebody trail in after him so I can keep on a- workin''?
56626Ca n''t we save that darling?
56626Ca n''t you cook here? 56626 Ca n''t you stop them, as you did that Bar H foreman?"
56626Ca n''t you?
56626Can he shoot better''n you?
56626Can you imagine what he''s been through today?
56626Can you keep a tally?
56626Can you set a horse?
56626Changed yore mind?
56626Check? 56626 Come down to see if I got lost?
56626Dailey? 56626 Dave,"he said, almost reverently,"what made you say that?"
56626Did Wolf make any remarks about shootin''?
56626Did n''t I say I''ve been plannin''this a long time? 56626 Did n''t you see him start for home?"
56626Did they find out?
56626Did we have a freeze- up last winter?
56626Did you ask him?
56626Did you ever hear of Lacey?
56626Did you fix up th''laig?
56626Did you hear that?
56626Did you know Lacey, or Buck?
56626Did you know that he slept under your floor?
56626Did you pick up his trail?
56626Did you see me?
56626Did you see th''hat? 56626 Did you see th''old boy?"
56626Did you see that?
56626Did you taste it?
56626Did you tell Nelson? 56626 Did you tell th''Double X?"
56626Did you_ hear_ him?
56626Did you_ see_ it? 56626 Do I go?"
56626Do n''t she shine, though?
56626Do you believe in luck?
56626Do you figger he''s goin''to bank it? 56626 Do you know where th''tally sheets are?"
56626Do you know_ why_ I went to Highbank? 56626 Do you mean he''s missin''?"

56626Has he been three thousand dollars''worth?
56626Has he lost his saddle?
56626Have n''t I told you punchers to keep off this ranch?
56626Have you the brazen effrontery to sit there and calmly tell me that?
56626Havin''been talked plumb weak,growled Dailey,"suppose we rest ourselves with a nice, quiet game?
56626He come from Highbank today?
56626He would n''t come when-- when_ Peggy_ was sick?
56626House afire?
56626How about some wire for those quicksands?
56626How are you?
56626How could I?
56626How did you come to get in it?
56626How do they know how many cows they got, or if they''re runnin''at a profit or a loss?
56626How do you feel?
56626How do you find freightin''?
56626How do you know all this?
56626How do you know anythin''about that nest of rocks, an''th''three men?
56626How do you know? 56626 How far off was he?"
56626How far should a man back two pairs?
56626How long did you say that wire was?
56626How many cows was on th''SV when you bought it, an''how many are on it now? 56626 How many did you take?"
56626How much can th''Double X scrape up, in case I makes up my mind to stay a week?
56626How you goin''?
56626How''d it happen?
56626How''d they come to start that so early?
56626How''d you get out?
56626How''d you get yore hat? 56626 How''d you keep th''color?"

56626I mean, have you got a match?
56626I mean, what did they get that was valuable?
56626I suppose you want Mac to bring you a check, as usual?
56626I''m askin''you: Do you figger ropin''an''kidnappin''Wolf Forbes was any one- man job? 56626 If I did n''t,"said Larry,"everybody would''a''got thirsty, an''then who would''a''held this herd?"
56626If I only had his luck with my skill-- but what''s th''use?
56626If I tells, will you let me out of these cussed ropes?
56626If I''m goin''to be yore come- on, what do I get out of it?
56626If he''s achin''to smoke up he''ll come here, wo n''t he?
56626If they do n''t round up, how do they know where they are?
56626Is he aimin''to get Huff? 56626 Is th''Doc a friend of you fellers?"

56626Why ca n''t he get here in time for supper? 56626 Why did you do what you did the day, and night, that my brother was stopped from going to Highbank for the doctor?"
56626Why did you go to the trouble of seeing that we had supplies?
56626Why did you join that crowd of drunken rowdies, and act worse than any of them?
56626Why did you stop that-- that brute-- when he was entertaining his companions with his idea of humor?
56626Why do you want this?
56626Why go up there?
56626Why in h-- l do n''t Dave set out th''bottle, like he used to?

56626Wo n''t you come in and speak to father? 56626 Wolf''s askin''about you all over town,"he muttered, and then, louder:"Why''n blazes do n''t you look out?"
56626Wonder how good my gunplay is these days?
56626Wonder if Squint was hurt?
56626Wonder if he got lost, too?
56626Wonder if yo''re thinkin''th''same as me?
56626Wonder what happened to Nelson?
56626Wonder where he went?
56626Would you listen to that dickey bird up on th''hill?
56626Yes; but_ why_ do you want them?

56626Yo''re not forgettin''what I said about a hundred dollars cash, are you?
56626Yo''re shore yo''re goin''back for yore gun?
56626Yo''re thinkin''of that Nelson, huh?
56626Yore gran''mother''s aunt? 56626 You ai n''t repeatin''what I said, are you?"
56626You aimin''to let them two in on this?
56626You are sure that you will have no trouble with Doctor Reed?
56626You did n''t stop at th''Doc''s on yore way up, did you?
56626You goin''to do what I say?
56626You have been here all this time an''do n''t know that? 56626 You heard what I said?"
56626You hearin''things?
56626You raised?
56626You realize, of course, that you are getting yourself into great danger?
56626You remember Tex Ewalt, do n''t you? 56626 You say he was on Squint''s cayuse, wearin''Squint''s slicker, an''usin''Squint''s gun?"
56626You shore you want it?

56626You think yo''re d-- d smart, do n''t you? 56626 You told father about Doctor Reed coming against his will?"
56626You tryin''to get shot?
56626You''d be plumb tickled if I fell in, would n''t you?
56626You-- last night?
56626_ Me_ throw over a couple of hundred head of mavericks to Arnold, an''split up th''rest four ways? 56626 _ Now_, what''s th''matter?"
56626_ Who_ is it? 56626 _ Wolf_, huh?
56626''Member how I said I''d get square with you, an''how you kicked me ag''in, an''made me dance to yore blasted guns?
56626''Member how funny it was, huh?
56626''Member th''time you kicked me off''n Dave''s hitchin''rail?
56626A woman- hater; or are you trying to forget?"
56626Ai n''t he got back yet?"
56626Ai n''t it better to buy''em?"
56626Ai n''t that remarkable?
56626Ai n''t they done no brandin''at all?"
56626Aimin''to squat out there an''steal''em as fast as they grows up?"
56626All that cash?
56626An''all th''rest, after they get together an''wrestle things out?
56626An''changeable?
56626An''do n''t you remember that nobody ai n''t told you, yet, not to sell me nothin''?
56626An''how many cows there was this spring, or th''number of calves branded then?"
56626An''how will Wolf figger it?
56626An''if he did n''t do it for th''fun of it, would he''a''dared tackle it, at all?
56626An''if he do n''t come back, who''s goin''to sign checks for our pay?
56626An''she''s suspicious of strangers?"
56626An''there''s somethin''I want to ask you, before I forget it: Was you ever in a quicksand just like that one?
56626An''what do you reckon th''men in Damsight did about it?
56626An''what will folks say up in Gunsight when they hears about you?"
56626An''what''s he doin''now?
56626An''what''s yore name?"
56626An''why only mavericks?"
56626An''would you believe it, Dave, we was so petrified we got lost an''finally climbed down an''went to sleep right where th''idea struck us?"
56626Any place else to go?"
56626Any ranches''round here run by men?"
56626Anybody''round here that''s sweet on that Arnold gal, that you knows of?"
56626Are you goin''down to Highbank tomorrow?"
56626Are you ready?"
56626Are you reckonin''there''ll be any blast tonight?
56626Are you sure he was only tangled in the wire?"
56626Are you takin''it to th''hotel?"
56626Better come along, Arch-- what''s a few more miles?"
56626But before I go I''d like to find out somethin'': Will somebody please tell me what I said, that second time, that was so funny?"
56626But how can they hold one, without punchers?"
56626But what gets me is, how could he perforate th''brim while that there pinched- up peak waves defiance, an''courts destruction?
56626But what''s th''use of you an''me talkin''about that?
56626But, I says, an''it''s th''''buts''that raise th''devil, how does Big Tom figger it?
56626Ca n''t you move faster''n that?"
56626Ca n''t you smell''em?"
56626Can you figger him?"
56626Can you imagine a whiskey- smellin'', big brute like him courtin''_ her_?
56626Can you imagine how he''d do it?
56626Can_ I_ ask him, Cimarron?"
56626Comin'', Gurley?"
56626Comin'', Matt?
56626Comin'', you fellers?"
56626Comin''in, Slim?"
56626Comin''in?"
56626Could he believe his ears?
56626Dave, you should use something milder when you load this whiskey-- ever try nitric?"
56626Dave?"
56626Did Arnold say that?"
56626Did I hear Sam Gardner tell him he was tired of workin''for th''Triangle?"
56626Did n''t I just say that they never got on th''tally sheets at all?
56626Did n''t I tell you he was brought up on it?"
56626Did n''t I tell you to ride up there an''tell th''Doc that we wanted to see him tonight?
56626Did n''t I tell you we''d likely be popular, an''unpopular?
56626Did n''t it go off yore head?"
56626Did n''t you ever go huntin''''em?"
56626Did n''t you leave here to tell him that, an''for nothin''else?"
56626Did you forget that, somewhere?"
56626Did you give th''Doc my message?"
56626Did you go up with a trail herd, an''stay over?"
56626Did you notice any fever, any flush, or anything else that seemed abnormal to you?"
56626Did you notice th''hoss he''s on?
56626Did you think they was like a-- a shirt?"
56626Did you_ see_ it?
56626Do I hear anythin''?"
56626Do I look like a Judas?"
56626Do n''t it beat all how me an you get all mixed up without meanin''to?
56626Do n''t it beat all?
56626Do n''t you remember you found a lot of things you''d poked away an''forgot you had?
56626Do you chase''en, or trap''em, Nelson?"
56626Do you know they ai n''t had no round- up in three years, neither calf nor beef?"
56626Do you know who did it?"
56626Do you remember what he told young Slim- Shanks, that there Baxter kid, who was all tangled up with tender feelin''s?
56626Does it sleeper?"
56626Does it sound like money?"
56626Fanning?
56626Find it?
56626Forty miles with_ that_ in a day, an''he come_ slow_?"
56626Found somethin''for my idle hands to do?"
56626Fraser, how many riders has Big Tom kept on his northwest lines?"
56626George?
56626Goin''_ loco_?"
56626Goin''home, Wolf, or you aimin''to make a night of it?"
56626Goin''to count that, too, tonight?"
56626Got any?"
56626Got two pounds of lead, an''some Kentucky powder?"
56626Green, too?"
56626Green?"
56626Has th''Doc been kidnapped again, or has Squint come back?"
56626Have you got any wire at th''ranch?"
56626Have you got th''nerve to take a chance with somebody else''s cattle?"
56626Have you heard anythin''about th''Double X startin''a herd of their own up on th''trail?"
56626Have you noticed any?"
56626Have you seen any others?"
56626Have you seen him since the night they were all here?"
56626Have you seen him?"
56626He was silent for a moment, and then inquired,"What you doin'', Feather Head?"
56626He''s a travelin''eddicator in th''innercent game of draw-- or was it studhoss, Nelson?"
56626Hear me, little hoss?
56626Hear me?"
56626How about you, boys?"
56626How are things?"
56626How are we goin''to stop it?"
56626How can I straighten out my tally sheets to cover th''loss of a herd like that?
56626How do I know you are telling the truth?"
56626How do you figger it?"
56626How do you know they was all here?"
56626How do_ I_ know you did n''t plan this all out, an''get yore friends to help you beat an old man out of his fare?
56626How far does that wire fence run, up north of th''house?"
56626How fur did he come this way?"
56626How fur has she come today?"
56626How long is your rope?"
56626How long''s that rope?"
56626How many men do you reckon we''d need, Nelson?"
56626How many times have I told you to let th''stuff alone, as long as you could n''t drink like humans?"
56626How much?"
56626How''bout it?"
56626How''d he git in there, an''tie hisself up like that?"
56626How''d he git there, hey?"
56626How''d you come out, Nelson?"
56626How''d you come to pick these things out, Charley?"
56626How''s everythin''with you fellers?"
56626How''s things on th''Triangle, Gurley?"
56626How''s yore nerve?
56626I claim I was justified-- an''I''ll leave it to you if th''joke on Wolf was n''t a hummer?
56626I could n''t have him trailin''me wherever I went, could I?
56626I saw a wire fence north of th''trail: how far does it run?"
56626I wonder who put th''sand burr under Smitty''s saddle?
56626I''m askin''how you learned all th''things you said yesterday?"
56626I''m goin''; why?"
56626I''m ridin''home; who''s comin''with me?"
56626I''ve raised her till she sags in th''middle-- who''s got any props?"
56626If an ambush lay ahead, what mattered it?
56626If it comes easy, all right--_but_ we''re_ goin''to get it_, savvy?"
56626If it was n''t Squint, then where was he?"
56626If you aim to go ag''in''him, let me know ahead of time, will you?"
56626If you wo n''t give me information, will you tell me where I can eat an''sleep?
56626Is dad still on th''prod?"
56626Is he due tonight?
56626Is he missin'', too?"
56626Is he nursin''last night''s play?
56626Is he out a- huntin''?
56626Is he_ loco_, too?"
56626Is n''t there some mistake?"
56626Is th''Double X holdin''its bunch in th''same old place?"
56626Is there any man in this country that would tackle that job, alone, for th''fun of it?
56626It''s got all a man needs, which is why towns are made, ai n''t it?"
56626It''s got to learn that th''Bar H runs this country, an''_ I_ run th''Bar H. Anybody say I do n''t?"
56626It''s worth that to see you again; an''what''s a cow between friends?"
56626Jerry?
56626Juniper?"
56626Leaping after him, he grasped the confused tramp, whispered:"_ Vamoose!_"and then yelled out:"I_ ca n''t_, huh?
56626Looks like yo''re movin''?"
56626Might I inquire if you feel like indulgin''in a little game of draw?
56626Nelson,"he said, turning,"have you any choice of men for this here party that''s goin''to celebrate their freedom over in Gunsight?"
56626Nelson?
56626Nelson?"
56626Now I wonder how th''devil Smitty''s hat got abused like that?"
56626Now, lemme see-- do I need two or three?"
56626Now, yo''re plumb shore you did n''t lose nothin''else, more valuable than earthly belongin''s?"
56626Of course there ai n''t no chance at all of his comin''back soon?"
56626Of course you did; and did n''t you say''Two- Spot, when I sees you tomorrow I''ll buy you a drink?''"
56626Ol''Dailey got you buffaloed?"
56626Or, better yet, ca n''t I cook for you?
56626Perhaps if I confess my helplessness you will take pity on me, and tell me what you are doing down here; and why?"
56626Quicksands?
56626Ready?
56626Ridin''fur?"
56626Runnin''slugs?"

56626Seen him around, or is he hidin''out, layin''low?"
56626Shall I hold up an ace, or take three cards?
56626Shall I take Pepper around out of th''sun?"
56626Sherwood is roundin''up for the SV-- what''s th''matter with_ him_?
56626Shore Pepper ai n''t hurt?"
56626Should there be?"
56626So what did I do?
56626So, Dave, I rode up here to ask you a plain question: Who were in here last night between a quarter of nine and, say, a quarter after ten?
56626Somebody tie you to th''bar?"
56626Steal it?
56626Strayed off?
56626Th''Double X?"

56626Then how about this one: Th''SV was n''t no good for winter range, bein''all et off?"
56626They have to drink, do n''t they?
56626They''re barred, an''I wo n''t listen about''em, We''re all men-- ain''t we, boys?"
56626Think so?"
56626Thinkin''they''ll trail us, an''get us because we''re not pushin''hard?"
56626Want me to ask Big Tom about it?
56626Want to come, Dave?
56626Was Lang with him?"
56626Was it spoiled bad?"
56626Was n''t it a three- ringer, with a side show?
56626What about dinner?"
56626What am I supposed to say?
56626What are you aimin''to rustle?"
56626What are you doing here?"

56626What had they done there?
56626What is hope but a wish?
56626What made Dave say he went to Juniper?"
56626What makes you ask?"
56626What music ever was so sweet?
56626What name will I give?"
56626What sight had ever been so beautiful as that trim figure mounted astride a horse which seemed to spurn the grass in its arrowy flight?
56626What th''devil is a little matter like a herd of forty- five saddle hosses to a man like_ me_?"
56626What was that Two- Spot was tryin''to tell me?"

56626What''s th''matter?
56626What''s th''use of kidnappin''anybody that wants to be took?
56626What''s th''use of playin''for buttons, when there''s_ bills_ to be had?"
56626What''s_ he_ comin''here for?
56626When do you aim to start deliverin''?"
56626When he was ready he let out a yell:"Are you all a- comin''?"
56626When will they finish up?"
56626When you startin''?"
56626Where did all this happen?"
56626Where did them cattle go to?"

56626Why ai n''t there more wire strung to keep th''cows out of it?"
56626Why are you courting it?"
56626Why are you running such risks for total strangers?"
56626Why did he change, just when things was gettin''worse down here all th''time?"
56626Why did n''t he take a check?
56626Why not get ahead of''em, an''throw them cows over onto th''SV before anybody gets insultin''you?"
56626Why th''devil was n''t_ I_ in on that?

56626You might be the man to need it first--_quià © n sabe?_""I shoot at th''first false move,"warned the other.
56626You said you do n''t know about Arnold-- but it ai n''t much of a job to make shore, is it?
56626You was awful drunk, was n''t you?"
56626_ Keep looking ahead!_ You do n''t have to look around to hear, do you?"
56626_ Wolf_, huh?
56626called Dave,"somebody gimme a hand with this keg?"
56626he muttered"So_ that''s_ it, huh?
56626mused Johnny,"who is he?"
56626retorted Cimarron,"from Europe?"
56626snorted Cimarron,"you ai n''t figgerin''them sands are takin''th''increase of three whole years, are you?"
56626snorted Two- Spot,"what do_ I_ care about strangers?
6997Abe, you know that greaser that tumbled into the Dry River Spillway when we- all was puttin''in Number Five Gate?
6997Afraid of what?
6997All set, boys?
6997All set?
6997An''this man that knows me-- this engineer-- is he a fine, big, up- standin''man wid brown eyes an''the look av a king?
6997An''what might that be, pard?
6997And Worth explained?
6997And are you explaining this situation to the people who are coming here by the hundreds to settle? 6997 And did Bill see the point?"
6997And do they-- do they remember me?
6997And he knew that they were trying to sell it to you?
6997And how many head of stock are you working?
6997And it is your opinion that it would be a heavy loss to the Company to build this canal and attempt to develop this section?
6997And may I ask what brings you to Barba?
6997And our house?
6997And that?
6997And that?
6997And the work?
6997And we are square again?
6997And we are square again?
6997And what could the West give him?
6997And what do you think of your brother Abe, Barbara?
6997And what is this that you have landed?
6997And while I am at it will you please have a good thick beefsteak cooked rare and sent up here? 6997 And you accepted?"
6997And you have kept this from me all these years? 6997 And you heard what Uncle Jim said to me?
6997And you knew what Worth was up to before the deal was closed? 6997 And you never found the slightest clue even to the child''s name?"
6997And you understand that I am nameless; that no one knows my parentage? 6997 And you, daddy; you?"
6997And you-- you did-- that, knowing it would cost you your position?
6997And you-- you wo n''t have anything to do with the reclamation of my Desert?
6997Any news from New York yet?
6997Are there not a good many of your countrymen from Rubio City among them, Pablo?
6997Are you going to let that greaser spoil our afternoon?
6997Are you sure that your father is in the city?
6997Are you-- are you going to help, daddy? 6997 Are your stirrups right?"
6997Barbara,he said, holding out his hand;"Barbara, may I tell you now what it is that I need?"
6997Busy, be they? 6997 But I must hear you say it so that we can start square again; do n''t you see?"
6997But Mr. Greenfield and these New York men, who have organized the company-- are they not careful financiers?
6997But Uncle Jim, what on earth have I to do with all this?
6997But did he know_ why?_ Did he know it was a trap to ruin your work?
6997But did he know_ why?_ Did he know it was a trap to ruin your work?
6997But do n''t business men ever do anything except to make money? 6997 But do n''t you know that she is not Worth''s daughter?"
6997But fwhat does he do?
6997But how could they? 6997 But how would you know?
6997But if Senor Lee comes?
6997But is there anyone living out there?
6997But what are you going into here?
6997But why do n''t you get Cartwright into your crowd, if he is so ready to invest in reclamation projects?
6997But why was Mr. Holmes so excited to- day when he found out about those stakes?
6997But why--- What--- How did I get here? 6997 But you forgive me this time?"
6997But you have your job with the Company?
6997But, Miss Worth, what in the world are you talking about?
6997But, father; it_ is_ a great work, is n''t it, to change the desert into a land of farms and homes for thousands and thousands of people?
6997But-- will you go with me for a little ride into the desert?
6997Ca n''t stay?
6997Ca n''t you even guess?
6997Can we make it to the outfit today?
6997Can we? 6997 Could we-- ah-- see him to ask about a matter that concerns vitally every gentleman in this company?"
6997Could you shake hands?
6997D''ye reckon he''ll make good corralin''all the money there is in the world?
6997D''ye think, now, that the poor lad will be afther tacklin''the job alone, like he said? 6997 Did Mr. Greenfield know that the change in the railroad line was contemplated?"
6997Did n''t he talk you nearly to death?
6997Did the Seer send him out here?
6997Did we meet anyone? 6997 Did you come to work?"
6997Did you ever hear the story of what happened here in these very sand hills? 6997 Did you get him?"
6997Discharged you?
6997Do I understand, sir, that you propose to do nothing until morning?
6997Do n''t you care to know what it is that I need?
6997Do n''t you know what it''s all about?
6997Do n''t you know?
6997Do n''t you like it?
6997Do not the commissaries in the camps supply you with all that you need? 6997 Do you come out here often?"
6997Do you know how far it is across the Desert to San Felipe?
6997Do you know me, friends?
6997Do you know where Mr. Worth is this evening??'' 6997 Do you know where Mr. Worth is this evening??''
6997Do you know whether Abe Lee ever went over that district?
6997Do you know,he asked earnestly,"how wonderful you are?"
6997Do you like my Desert?
6997Do you mean that you expected the Company to put that man Holmes in the Seer''s place?
6997Do you mean to say that that is The King''s Basin-- that we are going_ there_ to work?
6997Do you mean, Mr. Worth, that you are going to operate in the Basin independently, knowing the Company''s strength and the whole situation as you do?
6997Do you mean-- Is it the Seer whom you expected to meet? 6997 Do you think that Greenfield and his crowd are going into this scheme because it is a great thing for the people?"
6997Do?
6997Does it hurt?
6997Does the Senora wish anything?
6997Doing?
6997Everything all right, boys?
6997Five years with the New York Contracting and Construction Company?
6997For the love av Gawd is ut ye, ye owld sand- rat? 6997 For who should it be that Senor Lee is hurry so?
6997Fwhat is ut? 6997 Fwhat the hell is ut, ye greaser?"
6997Go in? 6997 Guns is ut?"
6997Have n''t I kept them nicely for you?
6997Have n''t you two been to see Barbara yet?
6997Have you a room with bath?
6997Have you given the Company your final answer, father?
6997Have you got it?
6997Have you heard from home? 6997 Have you heard the proposition that Mr. Worth is making to every man on the job?"
6997He did, did he? 6997 He said:''You''re damned right he is, and so am I usin''Jefferson Worth to gain my ends, ai n''t I?
6997Hotel?
6997How are you to- day, Pablo? 6997 How are you?
6997How can a merchant know whether a man will pay or not? 6997 How did you do it?"
6997How did you get around that?
6997How did you know that I took no vacation?
6997How do I know that a party of five or six watered here since noon?
6997How do you do?
6997How do you figure it, Tex?
6997How do you know that?
6997How do you know? 6997 How do you size up this King''s Basin proposition?"
6997How is everything, Abe?
6997How is the little old Colorado behaving herself?
6997How long do you figure this will last, Tex?
6997How long will it take?
6997How much did Horace P. touch you for, Willard?
6997How the devil do you know that La Senorita is coming?
6997How''s Uncle Jim?
6997Howly Mither, wud ye look at that?
6997I say, Holmes, how would you like to be in little old New York this evening?
6997I suppose that we will be always starting over again, wo n''t we?
6997I suppose the heaviest expense is all in getting started?
6997I suppose they wanted an eastern man, whom they knew better than they knew the Seer, to represent them? 6997 I suppose you find the talkative Abe cheerfully optimistic about the future of our structures as usual?"
6997I suppose you know, Willard,he said,"that The King''s Basin Land and Irrigation Company has virtually passed into the hands of the S.& C.?
6997I voices yer sentiments correct, pard?
6997I?
6997If I give you this contract you will build the railroad into Kingston?
6997Indebted to me?
6997Indeed? 6997 Is Mr. Worth at home?"
6997Is it really you, or is it some new trick of this confounded desert?
6997Is it really you?
6997Is it that girl, Willard?
6997Is it true,continued the spokesman,"that you are changing the line of the railroad so as to take it to Barba and leave Kingston out entirely?"
6997Is n''t it all right?
6997Is n''t it grand? 6997 Is that true, sir?"
6997Is that your only proposition?
6997Is there anythin''doin''in that San Felipe I do n''t know?
6997Is there nothing that we can do to change the situation?
6997Is ut a gurl, or a bhoy?
6997Is what true, son?
6997It seems to me that they must believe in the Seer and his work or they would n''t furnish him the money, would they?
6997It''s so lonely and still in the house, Pablo; may I stay out here a little with you? 6997 Jefferson Worth?
6997Let you out?
6997Like it?
6997Living there? 6997 Lost something?"
6997May I ask when you will begin the work?
6997May I ask your reason, sir?
6997Me? 6997 Mine?"
6997Mr. Holmes is really a fine engineer, do n''t you think?
6997Mr. Holmes, would you mind shaking hands again?
6997Must we say again what we want? 6997 My dear Greenfield, how are you?"
6997My dear boy, how many times have we gone over that? 6997 My report was satisfactory?"
6997New and raw?
6997No money? 6997 No, he never worked in that part of the Basin at all, but what the deuce has Lee to do with it?
6997No, what is he doing? 6997 No, why?
6997No?
6997Not a Company man?'' 6997 Not his daughter?"
6997Not with the Company? 6997 Nothing to do?"
6997Of course you do; but I thought you loved him as I wanted you to love me; do n''t you understand?
6997Oh, Barbara, how could you-- how_ could_ you miss last Thursday afternoon at Miss Colson''s? 6997 Oh, why does n''t Abe come; why does n''t he come?"
6997Oh, why-- why did n''t he tell you? 6997 Over there I see Jose Gallegos, whose wife and baby were ill. How is the little family now, Jose?
6997Pablo, what time will they go to the power house?
6997Pard,said Tex in a low, earnest tone,"do you reckon that there hilarity was in any ways directed toward this corner of the room?"
6997Providing what?
6997Quit what?
6997Right, sir?
6997Shall I shoot?
6997Shall we run, Capitan? 6997 Shall we wait until we see who it is?
6997She has refused you?
6997Sleep on the porch?
6997So you are interested in the Worth Electric Company?
6997Someone waiting outside for me, Ynez?
6997Stay? 6997 Suppose I refuse?"
6997Sure the man must do something?
6997Tell me again, daddy; was Mr. Holmes_ sure_ that this land was worthless?
6997Tex, where is that buckskin horse of yours?
6997Texas Joe went for you last night?
6997That you, Abe?
6997That''s right,returned another,"but what in hell do you suppose it was all about?
6997The Company takes its chances with the settlers, does n''t it?
6997The Company? 6997 The coffee, you mean?"
6997Then how do you get to the intake location?
6997Then you think the old fox sent Abe Lee out to check our survey and framed up his trip to the city to gain time? 6997 Then you wo n''t build into the Basin?"
6997There is water?
6997There; is n''t that better?
6997They pinched the house?
6997They''re all right, are they?
6997Tired?
6997To see me?
6997Was he not at supper wid you gintlemen?
6997Well, I am here; what do you want?
6997Well, Willard, my boy,he said at last;"how do you like it?
6997Well, first, is it true that you have sold out practically all of your property in Kingston?
6997Well, fwhat do ye think av that? 6997 Well, now, fwhat do ye think av that?
6997Well, what are you going to do about it?
6997Well, what do you make of that?
6997Well, what of it? 6997 Well, what the deuce are you looking for then?"
6997Well, why do n''t you telegraph father and let him bring the money or send it by express from San Felipe?
6997Well, why has n''t he a chance to try it out?
6997Well; who makes the mistake then, your man Black or Abe Lee?
6997Well?
6997Well?
6997Well?
6997Well?
6997What are you doing out here? 6997 What can you do?"
6997What did Bill say?
6997What do you make of it, Abe?
6997What do you mean?
6997What do you think of it?
6997What do you want to know?
6997What do you want?
6997What do you wish to know, Gordon?
6997What has changed you?
6997What is he doing?
6997What is it that you could not forgive?
6997What is it, Pat?
6997What is it, Tex?
6997What is it, Tex?
6997What is it, Ynez?
6997What is it, my man?
6997What is it? 6997 What is it?
6997What is it?
6997What is it?
6997What is your proposition?
6997What money is that?
6997What must you know, Barbara?
6997What must you know?
6997What reason was there to expect anything else?
6997What shall we report to the crowd?
6997What the deuce is the matter, Abe? 6997 What was it, Texas?"
6997What''s a budwar?
6997What''s that you call him?
6997What''s that?
6997What''s the joke?
6997What''s the matter with him?
6997What''s the matter; do n''t you like the West, Uncle Jim?
6997What?
6997When are you going to build that road?
6997When can I begin settling? 6997 Where are the others, then, if this man was one of the party?"
6997Where do you strike it again?
6997Where is he going?
6997Where is it?
6997Where is the hotel?
6997Where is the land located?
6997Where is your ranch?
6997Where?
6997Who am I that I should understand the words of a being of such exalted rank? 6997 Who are you?"
6997Who did you say was building the opera house block?
6997Who is it?
6997Who protects the settlers''interests?
6997Who?
6997Why Pablo, no one can blame you, and do n''t you see that I must do what I can? 6997 Why did n''t you tell me you could drive?"
6997Why do n''t you arouse the men and send them in every direction to search? 6997 Why do n''t you call on Miss Worth?
6997Why not? 6997 Why not?"
6997Why was the change in the road made?
6997Why, what in the world do you mean? 6997 Why?"
6997Why?
6997Why?
6997Why?
6997Why?
6997Will it be possible to make some arrangement by which you would carry out your former plan and build the road into Kingston?
6997Will ye roll that in yer cigarette an''shmoke it, Uncle Tex?
6997Will you ever bid me good night in your language of the desert?
6997Will you go away now and come back in the morning-- each man for what is his?
6997Will you go to New York, sir?
6997Wo n''t they pot us?
6997Wo n''t you father? 6997 Wo n''t you have some more?"
6997Work for you? 6997 Working full gangs on that railroad of yours?"
6997Worry me?
6997Would you be good enough to send him a message that I would like to see him on a matter of importance? 6997 Ye mane he''s a banker?"
6997Ye was there?
6997Yes; disgraceful, is n''t it? 6997 Yes; you and Abe, do n''t you think?"
6997You are improving a ranch of your own near here?
6997You are interested in The King''s Basin Company?
6997You are not going to stay in the West?
6997You are sending him for a horse and saddle?
6997You are sure, Willard?
6997You are well acquainted with Mr. Greenfield and his associates?
6997You can show us this country?
6997You can vouch for the correctness of these figures, Willard?
6997You do n''t mean, Willard, that you are going to offer yourself to a woman whose love you have every reason to think belongs to another man?
6997You do n''t ride?
6997You have a letter from Mr. Greenfield relative to my coming?
6997You have all the capital you need?
6997You have already completed the survey and formed the district?
6997You have not forgotten me then?
6997You have that South Central District survey ready?
6997You know how Bill talks? 6997 You left everything at the river in good shape, of course?"
6997You like my Desert?
6997You love her?
6997You mean a bonus?
6997You mean it''s a hold- up?
6997You mean that girl? 6997 You mean that the Company is at last going to make the appropriation I have been begging for?"
6997You mean that the river breaking in and doing this has made daddy''s property worth a million dollars?
6997You mean that you have sent for me to influence Mr. Cartwright against Jefferson Worth''s interests?
6997You remember what I asked you when I was going over this proposition with Greenfield and Burk in the Company office?
6997You sabe that country over there, Jose?
6997You sent for me, sir?
6997You think favorably of the proposition, then?
6997You thought that?
6997You understand, do n''t you Willard, that I was forced to let you go when you turned the Company down? 6997 You will be careful, wo n''t you, Abe?"
6997Your survey shows what?
6997_ I_ said that I would never marry you? 6997 ''This is a pretty good outfit, ai n''t it?'' 6997 ''Who''s the joker in this little game?''
6997--with another pat--"so what could I do?
6997After a little while Greenfield asked eagerly:"Where is she now, Mr. Worth?
6997Ai n''t you runnin''this store?"
6997Amusing yourself as usual?"
6997An''did I do ut?
6997An''did they have the wagon?
6997An''how is our little girl?"
6997An''tell us now, Sorr, fwhat''s this I hear about yer buildin''a power plant for electric lights, or street cars, or somethin''?
6997And Holmes?
6997And Pablo Sanchez, do you know how long you were without work until with father''s help I found a place for you?
6997And by the way; was Mr. Worth personally acquainted with the man who controlled the S.& C.?
6997And could you spare Pat and Tex to help us?"
6997And did they have social positions by which they fixed a man''s place in life, I wonder?"
6997And do you know his present situation?"
6997And how came that canteen on the ground by her side?
6997And how is Mrs. Wheeler and that dear little baby?"
6997And where was her horse-- Pilot?
6997And why do you wear that?"
6997And--"Who is he?"
6997Anything else?"
6997Are n''t you just a little bit frightened?"
6997Are you hungry again?
6997Are you ill?
6997Are you still predicting that our intake will go out with the next high water?"
6997Are you sure?
6997Are you-- with him?"
6997As if in answer to his thoughts the man on the ground said grimly:"This is hell now, ai n''t it?
6997As the banker passed on toward the big wagon the Irishman drew close to the Seer and whispered hoarsely:"Now fwhat the hell kind av a man is that?
6997As the two were leaving Texas Joe said to Abe:"Are you plumb certain Pablo is at the Heading?"
6997At last he spoke one cold word:"Why?"
6997At this Holmes was silent and his uncle was forced to continue:"You know what Worth has been doing to the Company, do n''t you?"
6997Av course there''d be a policeman, or maybe two?"
6997Av ye do n''t mind, will ye tell me fwhat they call ye?
6997Barbara had told him to stay, but the girl knew nothing of conditions-- how could she know?
6997Barbara puzzled for a moment then asked:"Are you sending Tex to San Felipe for the money, Abe?"
6997Before Abe could answer Texas, Barbara, who sat on the porch, called laughingly:"What''s the matter with you men?
6997Beside, is there not La Senorita?
6997But Barbara, did n''t you hear the reason I gave him for saying that I would not marry you?"
6997But I am not at liberty to consider or make any proposition whatever until I have consulted the owner--""The owner?"
6997But I want to know-- did you stay in the desert for money?"
6997But fwhat in the divil''s name brung us here in this Gawd- forsaken Nobody''s Place?
6997But fwhat''s this yer tellin''me about a kid?
6997But how could they do ut?"
6997But is n''t it rather heavy for the present size of the town?"
6997But not one in a hundred of the settlers had even visited the intake at the river, or if they had, what could they judge of conditions there?
6997But tell me this-- who is this man that says he knows me?"
6997But tell me, Sorr"--he lowered his voice to a confidential rumble--"fwhat''s this I hear that ye have yer bhoy wid ye?
6997But tell me, fwhat''s this man, yer boss?
6997But that mask- like face betrayed no hint of emotion, and when the banker spoke again it was to ask mechanically:"Where is your engineer?"
6997But what can you understand of us?
6997But what did they want of him?
6997But what if Jefferson Worth had not received the telegram before he left San Felipe?
6997But what?
6997But where was you?"
6997But would he tell them?
6997But you''ll let me send Tex over to- night, wo n''t you?"
6997By the way, did you have any dinner to- day?"
6997Ca n''t you tell me?
6997Can not you wait until to- morrow morning?"
6997Can we begin in the morning, Abe?
6997Can we go back over the hill there, do you think?
6997Can we go, daddy?"
6997Can we?"
6997Cartwright''s tone seemed to subtly change his commonplace question into--"Why are you in San Felipe?"
6997Come, lad, what''s the matter?
6997Come, what do you say?
6997Could Senor Burk tell them of the situation?
6997Could anything on earth induce you to give up your horse and your desert, Barbara?"
6997Could he hold out?
6997Could he make it?
6997Could not someone go for the hand luggage and Ynez?
6997Could she talk, for instance, of anything but the homely details of her own rough life?
6997Could the sands, if they could speak, tell her who she was, her name and people?
6997Could the three undertake to have the furniture unpacked and the house properly settled?
6997Could they, if they would, make known to her relatives and friends of her own blood?
6997DON''T YOU LIKE MY DESERT, MR. HOLMES?
6997DON''T YOU LIKE MY DESERT, MR. HOLMES?
6997Did Abe Lee push the work on the house?
6997Did Holmes make it in time?"
6997Did he know?
6997Did he?
6997Did n''t you expect me to jump, back there?"
6997Did n''t you report that the development of that South Central District was practically impossible because of the elevations?"
6997Did they take yer bet?
6997Did thim divils go to the house first, or are ye crazy?"
6997Did you hear about this man Worth getting that franchise out of the council?
6997Did you know that there was a time when I hated you with my whole heart?"
6997Do n''t I know?
6997Do n''t you hear it calling?
6997Do n''t you know that Mr. Worth expects us to make the trip in the shortest possible time?
6997Do n''t you know that nothing else matters?
6997Do n''t you see there''s no other way?"
6997Do n''t you understand?"
6997Do n''t you want to continue your work?
6997Do n''t you want to stay with us?"
6997Do n''t you want to take it?"
6997Do n''t you_ know_ that I love you?
6997Do not we all-- Senores Lee and Tex and Pat, and Senor Worth and me-- do not we all work for La Senorita in La Palma de la Mano de Dios?
6997Do they understand the chances they are taking when they buy water rights and go ahead to develop their ranches?"
6997Do ye suppose I thought they was a- playin''dominoes?"
6997Do ye think, ye danged counter- hopper, that we''ve no manners at all?
6997Do you know that I am not the daughter of Jefferson Worth?"
6997Do you know what this cut means to you?"
6997Do you see that man over there?"
6997Do you think I meant for you to take all the risk?
6997Do you think that land will ever be reclaimed?"
6997Do you think-- have they discharged him, too?
6997Do you understand now why I came to you with this letter?
6997Do you understand why I am afraid to stay?"
6997Do you understand?"
6997Does n''t Capital, as you say, ever consider the people?"
6997Does she know?
6997Even the banker smiled coldly as he asked:"What did you say your name was?"
6997Fifteen minutes later a quiet voice within three feet of Willard Holmes asked:"Shall I go with you, sir?"
6997Fwhat could a man like him-- an engineer, mind ye-- fwhat could the Seer do widout the men wid money to back him?"
6997Fwhat did ye tell him?"
6997Fwhat good can we do rakin''up the past that''s dead an''gone?
6997Fwhat the hell do ye mane to be so slanderin''me reputation an''two or three hundred miles av disert between me an''him?
6997Fwhat the hell is yer counthry good for as ut is?
6997Fwhat wud this counthry be without money?
6997Fwhat''s the matter?
6997Fwhat''s there?"
6997Get out and leave us in the insurance business?"
6997Going quietly to the cook- wagon where the Chinaman sat smoking in solitary grandeur, he asked:"Wing, where is the Chief?
6997Greenfield again, I suppose?
6997Greenfield sure takes this trick, do n''t he?"
6997Greenfield?"
6997Had the Seer any engagement that afternoon?
6997Has anywan seen Mr. Worth this avenin''?"
6997Have they not rights also?
6997Have you anything in view?"
6997Have you asked the cook?"
6997Have you heard from Uncle Jim?"
6997Have you seen Abe Lee?"
6997Have you seen the Messenger?"
6997He towld ye that?
6997Here?
6997His eyes flashed and his face hardened as he burst forth in tones that startled his hearers:"Report me?
6997His tone was courtesy itself as he replied:"Indeed?
6997Holmes?"
6997Holmes?"
6997Holmes?"
6997Honestly now, which would you rather-- worship an ancestor or be an ancestor worshipped?"
6997How can you understand what Willard Holmes is to me?"
6997How could the poor, trusting farmer know that I was ready, if necessary, to murder him for his fortune?
6997How could ye help ut?
6997How could you judge?"
6997How dare they?
6997How do you do, Mr. Wheeler?
6997How do you do?"
6997How is he?"
6997How long do you suppose it would take Greenfield to start something with your creditors if he knew what I know?"
6997How long has Lee been gone?"
6997How long would it be before we went to smash?"
6997How we know this time not the same?"
6997How would they receive her?
6997How would you like to tackle the job?
6997I am with La Senorita as you are, and Tex and Pat; sabe?"
6997I feel that I must, do n''t you understand?"
6997I have never been afraid of you; why should I be?"
6997I said that?
6997I suppose one could not help learning a little in La Palma de la Mano de Dios, could he?"
6997I suppose you are planning to stay with the railroad?"
6997I thought you had refused to go into this deal?"
6997If you please, would you mind shaking hands with me?"
6997If you wo n''t come in with us, will you consider a proposition that you can handle independently?"
6997Ignoring his friend''s complaint, Texas returned meditatively;"Do you think, Pat, that there might be anything in what that there gent said?
6997In the darkness a voice called softly:"Pablo, are you there?"
6997Interesting, is n''t it?"
6997Is everything all right?"
6997Is he yours?
6997Is he-- did he come all the way from New York to see you?"
6997Is it not so?
6997Is n''t it awful?"
6997Is not the work well done?"
6997Is she likely to prove a factor in the matter of her father''s popularity and influence?
6997Is the leg getting better all right?"
6997Is there anything else?"
6997Is there anything wrong?"
6997Is ut dhrunk ye are?"
6997It is much nicer out here in the arcade, do n''t you think?
6997It was three weeks later when a portly, well- fed gentleman entered the Pioneer Bank in Rubio City and asked of the teller:"Is Mr. Worth in?"
6997It would be very natural, would n''t it?"
6997Jefferson Worth answered in his careful manner:"Did you look for marks on her clothing?"
6997Jefferson Worth hesitated, then:"Mr. Greenfield, you had a younger brother who came West?"
6997Jefferson Worth, gazing at the modest building under construction, murmured:"You are interested, you say?"
6997Let me call a doctor?"
6997Manuel Cortes, do you remember when you were hurt by a wicked horse and I would come to see the wife and children?
6997May I escort you to the hotel parlor?"
6997Merchants do n''t never beat anybody with short weight and all that?"
6997Mrs. Worth clasped her hands in eager longing as she whispered:"Oh, Jeff, can we keep her?
6997Must I leave it now?
6997No reason?
6997Now if we could bring about some alliance between you and the Company it would be a good thing all around, do you see?"
6997Now what will we do with that mob out there?"
6997Now will you believe?"
6997One of the men said sharply:"But where''s Mr. Worth, Tex?
6997Or was it canned corn?
6997Pilot does n''t care at all for afternoon parties, do you old boy?"
6997Pilot?
6997Please may I have a drink?"
6997Pray how is this_ our_ afternoon?
6997Presently the banker asked:"Have you seen Abe Lee?"
6997Presently the colorless, exact voice of Jefferson Worth asked:"This is your first visit West?"
6997Sabe that?"
6997Sabe?
6997Sabe?"
6997Shall I go to- morrow?"
6997She colored with pleasure, but answered lightly:"That puts me a long ways behind the times, does n''t it?"
6997Sixty days, you say?
6997So does the Company use us, do n''t they?
6997So that''s ut?
6997So_ we''re_ goin''to Rubio City, are we?
6997Sour bread, sow- belly, frijoles?
6997Suppose we take over your road as it stands at a fair price-- what would be your next move?
6997Tell me quick-- did I do ut?
6997Tell me"--he faced the girl with mock severity--"fwhat''s this ye''ve been doin''already?"
6997Tell me, did you see no wan there inquirin''afther me good health this last thrip?"
6997Tell me, man, who else was at the party?
6997That there may even be Mexican or Indian blood in my veins?
6997That was the rub-- what?
6997That would amount to the same thing, would n''t it?"
6997The Hollow of God''s Hand, is n''t it?"
6997The answer came with a flash of white teeth:"For what else does El Senor hurry so the house?
6997The big man, in a lower tone of confidential familiarity, asked:"Have you heard from Greenfield lately?"
6997The color rushed into her cheeks as she answered:"Do n''t you know that?"
6997The girl is as much yers as if she was yer own flesh an''blood, an''who can say fwhat divil''s own mess may come out av this thing?
6997The surveyor answered whimsically:"Do n''t you think I might take my hands down now?
6997Then as a sudden possible explanation came to her mind--"Abe, has Uncle Tex-- Is he in trouble?"
6997Then as he lay looking up into Barbara''s face, again that slow smile came and he said:"Well, little girl; Holmes made it, did n''t he?
6997Then from behind that gray mask he asked:"How much do you know about our finding Barbara in the desert?"
6997Then he asked seriously:"How are we going to get out of this, Abe?"
6997Then he burst suddenly upon Tex with:"Why the hell do n''t ye shoot, domn ye?
6997Then you are not alone?"
6997Then, as he caught a good look at the surveyor''s face--"For the love av Gawd, fwhat''s wrong wid ye, lad?"
6997Then:"Wo n''t you let me help you?"
6997These he greeted in Spanish and asked:"Has the Chief been with you since supper?"
6997To see some other man doing his work?
6997To watch as an outsider the development of the land?
6997Want him?"
6997Was he not the Aladdin who rubbed the lamp?
6997Was he not the wizard who commanded prosperity and wealth to wait upon The King''s Basin?
6997Was it Abe?
6997Was it a fancy in keeping with her gloomy spirit of the last few days, or did the surveyor''s tall form droop as if with discouragement?
6997Was it someone to say that the mob was coming?
6997Was it, after all, a fight between the members of the band over the division of the spoils?
6997Was the body of her true father buried there?
6997Was there not a bunch av sailor- men from wan av thim big ships?"
6997Was there some throuble maybe?"
6997Well, I''ll be-- But look here, Holmes, Worth did n''t accept our proposition until after he had investigated?"
6997Well, fwhat the divil should they be but busy?
6997Were there brothers, sisters, lying under that huge mound?
6997Were there not letters every week from Barbara with messages to the surveyor and his three helpers?
6997Were you practicing your greaser lingo on her?
6997What are you up to anyway, Jeff; buying another gold brick?"
6997What can not El Senor do?
6997What could they do?
6997What did Greenfield want?
6997What do you think, Abe?"
6997What do you want?"
6997What do you want?"
6997What else does your survey show?"
6997What for is the stampede?
6997What had he done?
6997What has gone wrong?"
6997What has he done?
6997What has the Company to do with it?"
6997What have you done with Jefferson Worth an''what you doin''with a kid?"
6997What if there should be a still further delay in getting the money?
6997What is it your people call The King''s Basin Desert?
6997What is it, Willard, that has come between us?
6997What is it, sister?
6997What is the matter?"
6997What on earth did I do?"
6997What on earth possessed you to go off on this wild ride over the mountains with that man Lee?
6997What proof have you that this is so, and if it is, why have you kept it a secret?"
6997What shall I do?
6997What should he do?
6997What sort of a deal will it take to get you into the Company?
6997What the deuce did she mean by"our King''s Basin people"?
6997What time shall we come?"
6997What under heaven has he to do with the Company''s appropriations?"
6997What was it that you let Mr. Greenfield and Mr. Burk think?"
6997What was the Company going to do?
6997What was the life from which the desert had taken her?
6997What was the name to which she had been born?
6997What will he do for the little one?"
6997What will you do, Abe?
6997What would Willard Holmes do?
6997What would you give to- night, Holmes, for something to eat that had never been preserved, embalmed, cured, dried or tinned?
6997What''s Jeff''s game anyhow?"
6997What''s a night in the desert to me?"
6997What''s all this about?"
6997What''s his name?"
6997What''s on your mind?
6997What''s the matter anyway?
6997What''s the matter with that cigarette stub?"
6997What''s the news?"
6997When are you figuring on going back?"
6997When could we go?"
6997When did you land in San Felipe?"
6997When did you leave the river?"
6997When did you resign?"
6997When he had greeted them he said:"Well, are we all ready?
6997When her grief had spent itself a little he said quietly:"Do n''t you think, sister, that you had better tell me about this?"
6997When she did not answer he said again gently:"Do you care for him so much, Barbara?"
6997When would La Senorita return?
6997Where did he catch you?"
6997Where did ye say ye was thryin''to go?"
6997Where did you come from?"
6997Where did you find him?
6997Where do you come in?''
6997Where is it?"
6997Where is the girl?
6997Where shall we dine tonight and what will you have?"
6997Where the hell did ye drop from, an?
6997Who are these people?
6997Who the hell''s talkin''av goin''in?
6997Who was she?
6997Who were her people?
6997Why are you afraid for me?
6997Why are you saying these things?
6997Why did n''t he warn you?"
6997Why did n''t you come straight to me this morning instead of tramping''way out here alone?"
6997Why did n''t you report it, Holmes?"
6997Why did she still shrink from him?
6997Why do n''t you come in?"
6997Why do n''t you move?
6997Why do you come here at this time of the night?
6997Why do you wish to do that?"
6997Why had she turned from him to the Seer?
6997Why had the baby instinctively feared him?
6997Why is Pat at the power house, and why are you going to stay at the ice plant?
6997Why man, do n''t you realize the situation?
6997Why not?
6997Why should Texas stay here to- night?"
6997Why should he hesitate now?
6997Why should he tell the Company what he knew of Worth''s surveyors?
6997Why were they so slow?
6997Why, he asked himself bitterly, had she always feared him?
6997Why, he asked himself, should he go back?
6997Why?
6997Will I go, sir?"
6997Will you join Mr. Greenfield''s company?"
6997With a cloud of smoke from Abe''s lips came the question:"And the other banks in the Basin?"
6997With an oath from Texas Joe the two men ran forward, and as they came up to the riders the Irishman cried:"Fwhat the hell are ye doin''here?
6997With his eyes still on the letter in his hand Burk asked:"How are you getting on with the survey of the South Central District?"
6997Wo n''t you please explain it all to me?
6997Wo n''t you take back your words?"
6997Wo n''t you tell me to stay?"
6997Wo n''t you-- won''t you reconsider, Uncle Jim?
6997Worth?"
6997Would La Palma de la Mano de Dios, which had given him the child that was not his child, give him wealth that still never could be his?
6997Would he learn the language of her Desert?
6997Would he?
6997Would n''t you like to go for a ride?
6997Would she forgive him?
6997Ye sun- burned limb av the divil-- did they take ut?"
6997You admit that we of the East could give him something, then?"
6997You are quite deserted, are n''t you?
6997You are quite sure, Senor?"
6997You do n''t feel hard toward me, lad, because I had to let you out?"
6997You do n''t mean-- you can not mean that it was my brother Will who was lost in that sandstorm on the desert?
6997You have kept my only brother''s child from me?
6997You know if it is far to where they are?
6997You mean that he has Spanish blood?"
6997You remember old George Cartwright, do n''t you?"
6997You sabe about money?"
6997You sabe, Pablo?
6997You sabe?"
6997You think this King''s Basin is big?
6997You understand-- you realize all that?"
6997You understand?"
6997You want me?"
6997You-- you are not afraid of me now, Barbara?"
6997You-- you dare to tell me that?
6997and added wistfully:"Of course we must try to find her folks, but do you think it very wrong, Jeff, to wish-- to wish that we never do?
6997and go not much to the other work but stay all time here?
6997asked Holmes at last,"or is it some new trick of this confounded desert?"
6997bhoys,"he cried,"fwhat''s this I was doin''?"
6997fwhat are ye doin''in this dishreputable company?
6997have n''t you heard?
6997or perhaps-- as was more likely-- to stand idly by and watch its destruction?
6997repeated the other savagely,"what I want to know is this: why in hell you are bucking Greenfield and his crowd to such a limit?"
6997she cried,"but do n''t you see what I mean?
6997what a muddle it is, is n''t it?
6997where''s your camera?
6997ye will lave widout properly apologizin''for yer outrageous conduc''will ye?
6997you are not afraid?
36336''In the dark all are as the devil,''quoted Victor, impatiently,"how should I know?
36336A line of her writing, a letter, her private papers would be a treasure, eh?
36336A squatter?
36336A what?
36336Ai n''t it time to take that medicine?
36336Ai n''t you ashamed, Gabe?
36336All?
36336Am I dead and buried,said Jack, gravely, looking around the dark vault,"or have I got''em again?"
36336And Don Pedro?
36336And Donna Maria?
36336And Philip?
36336And after so long, whence now, thou little blackguard?
36336And did that man mean to say he do n''t know whether Gracey is livin''or dead? 36336 And do you know, Father Felipe, that he went away without coming_ near me_?"
36336And ez to_ her_?
36336And have n''t I let out the tucks, and did n''t I put three fingers of the best sacking around the waist? 36336 And he asked you?"
36336And how were these suspicions aroused?
36336And if you knew that I had been foolish enough to put a good deal of money in it, you would still talk to me as you did the other day-- down there?
36336And is this all that you have to tell me?
36336And kill him?
36336And rub it?
36336And she is pretty-- tall and slender like the Americans, eh?--large eyes, a sweet mouth?
36336And she would n''t hev ye, Gabe,said Olly, thoughtfully,"after all that?
36336And that one is enough, eh?
36336And that-- there-- is-- a-- prospect-- that-- the-- stock of this big mine may-- de-- pre-- ciate in value?
36336And the notices-- in German and French?
36336And the paper and envelope are lost?
36336And there is no more any sister, eh-- only a wife?
36336And these are your American ethics?
36336And this fair client-- who is she?
36336And what did he say?
36336And what have they done with the murderer?
36336And where?
36336And who are you,he went on, without heeding her,"which of the Mesdames Devarges is it now?
36336And why did you not correct the mistake?
36336And why not this visit before?
36336And why was_ I_ not told of the presence of this strange_ Americano_? 36336 And why, Victor?"
36336And why?
36336And wot did he say?
36336And you did n''t kill Ramirez?
36336And you do n''t find anything?
36336And you have never seen him since?
36336And you have no directions to give me?
36336And you have seen it?
36336And you know the hand?
36336And you reckoned your wife did?
36336And you took the thing on yourself?
36336And you-- you?
36336And you?
36336And you?
36336Anybody here I know?
36336Anywhere, my friend?
36336Are they worth re- collecting and preserving?
36336Are you aware that among the-- er-- er-- unfortunates who perished, a body that was alleged to be yours was identified?
36336Are you going to help me?
36336Are you going to tell me?
36336Are you ready?
36336As purty as Sophy?
36336As to- day?
36336As we are talking of one of my clients and one of your parishioners, are we not getting a little too serious, Father? 36336 Better?"
36336Bress us-- it tain''t no whisky, Mars Jack, arter all de doctors tole you?
36336But I reckon I never seen ye look so peart afore, Olly; who''s been here?
36336But are you satisfied that Mrs. Conroy_ is_ really the person who stands behind Colonel Starbottle and personates my wife?
36336But can we not wait? 36336 But did n''t he say anythin''more, Olly?"
36336But her brother?
36336But how are they going to prove that?
36336But how did Gabriel get this?
36336But how will you explain this to him? 36336 But how?
36336But my sister and brother?
36336But s''pose it does n''t mean Grace after all?
36336But the name of Philip, my brother, is there?
36336But the old man-- the Doctor?
36336But to right the oppressed? 36336 But two for the same land, my brother?"
36336But whar ez she-- whar kin I git to see her?
36336But what did you say, Gabe?
36336But what do_ you_ say?
36336But what does''look at home''mean?
36336But what has passed?
36336But what''s all this about? 36336 But who would do that?"
36336But why did you not tell me this before?
36336But why do n''t you satisfy yourself?
36336But why?
36336But wot did she mean by saying that the house and lands was hers?
36336But wot''s the use of huntin''Grace if she says she''ll never return?
36336But you ca n''t use a Chinaman''s evidence before a jury?
36336But you expect-- ah-- you expect?
36336But you''re goin''to do what he says,asked Mr. Hamlin,"ai n''t you?"
36336But,continued the mystified Mr. Raynor,"do you really mean to say that you have any idea this news is true?"
36336But_ what_ was it?
36336By Grace?
36336By the way, darling, what was that paper that Gabriel gave you?
36336Ca n''t you come back this way and hev a little talk about ol''times?
36336Can I do anything for you, Miss?
36336Can you climb to the top?
36336Can you explain that circumstance?
36336Can you procure me a fresh horse? 36336 Can you tell me the way to the hotel-- the Grand Conroy House I think they call it?"
36336Can you_ prove_ his motives?
36336Come, now, pretend you do n''t know, will you?
36336Comes he?
36336Could you get to it?
36336Count me in,he said, promptly;"when shall I go?"
36336Did I tell?
36336Did I? 36336 Did he ask you any more questions about-- about old times?"
36336Did n''t you say something about-- about-- your sister, the other day?
36336Did she? 36336 Did you tell this to him-- to Gabriel?"
36336Do n''t you remember, Gabe,she said, quickly,"the first night that sister July came here and stood right in that very door?
36336Do they know us?
36336Do you know that man?
36336Do you know them?
36336Do you reckon I''d hev rung myself in as a wandering cripple-- a tramp thet he d got peppered-- on a lady like_ her_? 36336 Do you think-- that Philip-- ate Grace?"
36336Down in San Antonio?
36336Dry up!--don''t you see you''re driving me half- crazy with your infernal buzzing?
36336Eh-- what did you say?
36336Eh? 36336 Except Father Felipe, her confessor?"
36336First, let me ask you, do you believe your wife is living?
36336Friends of yours, I suppose?
36336From Pico?
36336From whom?
36336Gabe says-- Gabe says-- let me go, will you? 36336 Gabe, do you know what Mrs. Markle says of you?"
36336Gabriel Conroy,repeated Mrs. Sepulvida,"and-- and-- and-- his"----"His sister?"
36336Gabriel Conroy,said Lawyer Maxwell, suddenly dropping into the vernacular of One Horse Gulch,"are you a fool?"
36336Gabriel?
36336Go on-- or is this all?
36336Gone on an errand foh you, sah?
36336Grace-- that was his sister who was lost-- wasn''t it?
36336Has she ever been here-- in this room?
36336Have you a brother by the name of Gabriel Conroy?
36336Have you any newly discovered evidence that makes the issue doubtful?
36336Have you any proof of that fact other than your statement?
36336Have you any reason to doubt the genuineness of this particular document?
36336Have you done?
36336Have you ever tried the benefit of change of scene-- of habits of life? 36336 Have you got everything fixed-- all right?"
36336Have you had any further interview with Colonel Starbottle?
36336He denied any personal knowledge of Mrs. Conroy in this affair?
36336He is Gabriel Conroy?
36336He was here but for a little----"And he went away when?"
36336Her what?
36336Here?
36336How are ye?
36336How are you to keep it from her?
36336How came you here? 36336 How did they look?"
36336How did ye come yer?
36336How did you expect me to institute a comparison?
36336How did you get here?
36336How did you get here?
36336How do you account for them?
36336How do you indicate it?
36336How do you know she was pretty?
36336How do you think Sue''s looking now-- ez a friend interested in the family-- how does she look to you?
36336How do?
36336How have you identified the young girl?
36336How is he gettin''on, Gabe?
36336How is this? 36336 How know you this?"
36336How long have I been dr-- I mean how long has this-- spell lasted?
36336How long is it since you have seen him?
36336How long?
36336How many years?
36336How-- do-- I-- know-- it?
36336How-- much-- would I lose?--if how? 36336 How?
36336How?
36336How?
36336How?
36336How?
36336How?
36336How_ deep_ are you? 36336 Humph!--what else?"
36336I knew you would come, son,said Padre Felipe;"but where is she?
36336I reckon ye mean my real name?
36336I said----"What?"
36336I suppose,said Mr. Fitch, respectfully,"we''re to look after your foreman, Mr. Conroy, sir?"
36336In the name of God, what have we here in this imbecile and forward creature, and why is this so and after this fashion?
36336Inside of thirty minutes-- how''s that, eh?
36336Is he able to remember?
36336Is it dogs that we are, my compatriots?
36336Is it more you ask? 36336 Is it not enough that she has married this Gabriel, her brother?"
36336Is it not so? 36336 Is it well?
36336Is it wolf or bear?
36336Is that all?
36336Is that all?
36336Is that document a forgery?
36336Is there anything among these papers and collections worth our preserving?
36336Is there anything?--any fact that Mrs. Sepulvida has forgotten?
36336Is this all your news?
36336Is we gwine to Sacramento, Mars Jack?
36336It has?
36336It is Don Arturo Poinsett?
36336It is called''One Horse Gulch;''why-- who knows? 36336 It is precious,"said the stranger:"and it is all, ha?"
36336It''s a bad business,he would say;"what do you propose?"
36336Jack,he said, softly,"ef thet picter of yours-- that coloured woman"----"Which?"
36336July,queried Jack, reflectively;"what''s she like?"
36336Kin ye hang on a minnit longer?
36336Look here,he said, facing Mrs. Conroy in a hard, matter- of- fact way,"do you mean to say that what that man-- your husband-- said, was true?
36336Look here,said Jack, turning savagely on Maxwell,"what are you talking about anyway?"
36336Lost it, without having opened it or learned its contents? 36336 May I ask what it means?"
36336May I ask you further, without impertinence, if it is upon this evidence that you propose to abandon your claim to a valuable property?
36336May n''t be nothing in it, but it looks mighty like----"Like what?"
36336Might I change my mind regarding your offer of a moment ago, and take a glass of wine and a biscuit now?
36336Must you go to- night? 36336 My wife-- July-- is_ she_ clar too?"
36336Name?
36336Never down about San Antonio, visiting friends or relations?
36336No talk-- nothin''in the newspapers?
36336No use?
36336No? 36336 Nor want to, eh?"
36336Not found?
36336Not gone yet? 36336 Not much account, I reckon?"
36336Now what would be your opinion if you was on a jury onto a case like this? 36336 Of course,"roared out Jack, impatiently,"did you think I was talking of----?"
36336Oh, I''ll look around here-- I suppose there''s not much beyond this?
36336Oh, it''s that, is it? 36336 Oh, sir,"said this arch hypocrite, sweetly,"how can you jest so cruelly at such a moment?
36336Oh, where is he hurt, Pete? 36336 Olly,"he said, after an airy preliminary toss,"would ye like to have a nice dolly?"
36336One Horse Gulch?
36336One moment,said Arthur, quietly,"how do you know that it is an impostor?"
36336Only by that?
36336Only to abuse me?
36336Pardon?
36336Perhaps,said Donna Dolores:"who knows?"
36336Poinsett?
36336Purty?
36336Ran off with some fellow, did n''t she? 36336 San Antonio?"
36336Say what?
36336Say you''ve got important business?
36336Say?
36336Securely?
36336Shall I?
36336She ai n''t goin''on my account, Gabe?
36336Starved to death?
36336Suppose you can? 36336 Suthin''what?"
36336Take me with you, Gabe?
36336Tell me, Father Felipe,she said, hastily,"did the Don Arturo pass the night here?"
36336Tell to me, Mees Clark,he said, suddenly turning all his teeth on her, with gasping civility,"where is this Señor Perkins, eh?"
36336That offer''s open for ninety days-- will you take it? 36336 The prisoner at the bar?"
36336The whole story?
36336The_ real_ thing?
36336Then I''ll expect you over to my office at eleven to- morrow?
36336Then perhaps we may be travelling companions?
36336Then thet thar''Personal''wozent writ by you, and thet P. A. do n''t stand for Philip Ashley?
36336Then what did she reckon to let on by that note?
36336Then why not make the proper application for a patent?
36336Then you believe you''re going to die?
36336Then you do n''t think that Mrs. Conroy is the culprit?
36336Then you never saw July at all?
36336Then you think it is a genuine grant?
36336Then_ you_ are Mr. Dumphy''s long- lost wife?
36336There is nothing then that you are leaving behind you?
36336There''s a step- ladder from the gallery,said the sheriff, joyously,"but wo n''t they see us, and be prepared?"
36336These Americanos-- come they here often?
36336Thet reads--''Look at little Olly-- ain''t she there?'' 36336 Through the snow-- in the earth?"
36336To whom did_ you_ give it?
36336To_ her_--who is_ she_?
36336Truly, Dolores?
36336Truly-- from whom?
36336War you goin'', Olly?
36336Was it a real man-- a pure man?
36336Was that draft paid?
36336Was there no mark upon the envelope by which it might be known without explaining its contents?
36336Well, and how did ye find the young couple gettin''on, Sal?
36336Well, sir?
36336Well, then, the first thing to do is to find out_ who_ she is, what she knows, and what she wants, eh?
36336Well, then?
36336Well, wot did_ you_ do, Gabe? 36336 Well, you awful old Gabe, what difference does it make_ who_ sent it?"
36336Well,he said, at last,"what is your defence?"
36336Well,said Gabriel, turning round and addressing himself impatiently to the screen,"wot if it is?"
36336Well?
36336Well?
36336Well?
36336Well?
36336What animal have we in the next room?
36336What are you doing here?
36336What are you doing with the fire?
36336What are you goin''to do?
36336What ca n''t be done, Gabe?
36336What class?
36336What day is this?
36336What did he want, Gabe?
36336What did she look like, Olly?
36336What did you say your name was?
36336What did_ you_ say?
36336What do I care who hears me now? 36336 What do you mean anyway-- why do n''t yer speak out?
36336What do you mean?
36336What do you mean?
36336What do you propose?
36336What do you want with him?
36336What does she look like, Pete?
36336What for?
36336What has this to do with me?
36336What have we?
36336What have you got against my giant? 36336 What have you got to propose?"
36336What he d he bin doin''?
36336What is your name?
36336What is-- er-- your name?
36336What made ye allow I was hidin''yer? 36336 What made you think_ I_ did it?"
36336What man?
36336What man?
36336What time is it, you d-- d old fool, ai n''t it dark enough yet to git outer this hole?
36336What was the matter, Gabe?
36336What''s that got to do with it?
36336What''s that to you? 36336 What''s the man''s name that killed him-- the man that you took?"
36336What''s the matter?
36336What''s the row, Bill?
36336What''s to be done? 36336 What''s to be done?"
36336What''s up?
36336What''s your hurry?
36336What''s your profession?
36336What,he asked, lazily, yet with a slight colour on his cheek,"did you say was the name of the chap that fetched that little Mexican?"
36336What,she said huskily,"what if I were to refuse?"
36336What-- money-- have-- you-- got-- in-- it?
36336What?
36336What?
36336When and where did you see her last?
36336When does the up- stage pass through San Geronimo?
36336When was it?
36336When you dragged me, my child?
36336When, Bill?
36336When?
36336Where are the others?
36336Where are you going?
36336Where are you going?
36336Where did you see him last, and under what circumstances?
36336Where from?
36336Where has she been all this while?
36336Where is the other?
36336Where''s Olly?
36336Where''s your proof that your husband is the first discoverer?
36336Where?
36336Where?
36336Where?
36336Where?
36336Which?

36336Who are you?
36336Who did he kill, Bill?
36336Who did you say?
36336Who did you see down town?
36336Who did, then?
36336Who do you mean?
36336Who does n''t belong here?
36336Who is above?
36336Who is he?
36336Who is it?
36336Who is this Donna Dolores?
36336Who knows?
36336Who knows?
36336Who was it?
36336Who''could n''t''it be?
36336Who''s Perkins?
36336Who''s Sophy?
36336Who''s_ she_?
36336Who''s_ she_?
36336Who? 36336 Who?"
36336Who?
36336Who?
36336Who?
36336Who?
36336Why ca n''t he come? 36336 Why did he stir the fire, Grace?"
36336Why did n''t you come into the parlour?
36336Why did n''t you send word where you was?
36336Why did you come here to see me?
36336Why do n''t some on ye take his place? 36336 Why do they come, and how do they know where we are?"
36336Why is he?
36336Why limit my stay to two or three months?
36336Why not? 36336 Why not?
36336Why not?
36336Why not?
36336Why should they rub it? 36336 Why should_ he_ know more?
36336Why the devil did you keep me waiting?
36336Why, where did you ever see Mrs. Conroy before?
36336Why?
36336Why?
36336Why?
36336Why?
36336Why?
36336Why?
36336Will you let me see that note?
36336With tears in your eyes, Don Arturo? 36336 With the piano?"
36336Wo n''t that paper that Dr. Devarges gave his sister show that the doctor was really the discoverer of this lead?
36336Wot circumstances?
36336Wot specimens?
36336Wot''s that dream you was talkin''''bout jess now?
36336Wot,he asked, gravely,"would be_ your_ idee of a good defence?
36336Would n''t you like to have me sign some bit o''paper?
36336Ye ai n''t goin''near Mrs. Markle''s, are ye?
36336Ye did n''t know her, Mr. Hamlin? 36336 Ye do n''t know whether Lawyer Maxwell has any bisness up this way, Gabriel, do ye?"
36336Ye mean I kin go?
36336Yes, what are the proofs?
36336Yes, yes,said Philip, hastily;"but you were speaking of this girl, Grace Conroy; what do you know of her?"
36336Yes,replied Maxwell, demurely,"did he ever talk much to you about her?"
36336Yes; but not so very guileless,said Pilcher,"eh, Dyce?"
36336Yes?--you think-- you think? 36336 You DID?"
36336You ai n''t bin and gone done nuffin''agin de doctor''s orders, Mahs Jack?
36336You ai n''t goin''into deep water to- day, Gabe, are you?
36336You ai n''t worrying about that woman, Gabe?
36336You are an American?
36336You are not frightened? 36336 You are not rich, friend Gabriel?"
36336You are not seriously alarmed?
36336You buried the case and papers?
36336You came to my assistance alone?
36336You do n''t get anything out of that hill- side?
36336You do n''t know then that the Conroy mine has gone up with the earthquake, eh? 36336 You do n''t mean to allow, Jack, ez you reckon she_ did n''t_ do it?"
36336You do?
36336You have been an invalid then-- Donna Dolores?
36336You have nothing more?
36336You have prospected all over the ridge?
36336You have read this?
36336You have some business with me, eh? 36336 You know not then for whom was this mass?
36336You know of him?
36336You know the great American advocate-- our friend-- Don Arturo Poinsett?
36336You know this to be a fact?
36336You saw''em take it from the fire?
36336You say so?
36336You see that, after all, your advice is necessary, and what I began as an explanation of my folly may be of business importance; who knows? 36336 You see, Poinsett, as a man of business I do n''t go as much into society as you do, but she seems to be a straight up and down girl, eh?"
36336You speak Spanish, Don Arturo?
36336You tell him everything-- did you tell him that?
36336You were having a mass for the dead, Father Felipe?--you have then suffered here?
36336You wo n''t laugh at my writing?
36336Your sister?
36336_ Quien sabe?_ But I am rambling again. 36336 _ We?_ No, sir.
36336''Are you never going to get that cloak on, Star?''
36336--"What thing, Gabe?"
36336--don''t you see, Gabe?"
36336--here Mr. Dumphy snapped his finger and thumb, to illustrate the lame and impotent conclusion of Donna Maria''s investment--"don''t you know that?"
36336A ray of hope shot through Grace''s sad fancies; if they were so near help, might not it have already reached the sufferers?
36336After a moment he said--"Do ye want to know why I like this old cabin and this yer chimbly, Olly?"
36336After you run away with him does he propose to marry you?"
36336Ah, you doubt-- you doubt?
36336Ah?
36336Ai n''t my husband dead, and is n''t that skunk-- an entire stranger-- still livin''?"
36336Allowin''it''s one o''my idols-- I axes you as a brother Pagan-- whar ez she?"
36336Am I right?"
36336And I put it to you as far- minded men, if it ai n''t mighty queer?
36336And could he count upon Mrs. Conroy''s absence or neutrality?
36336And ef it was n''t you, who was it?"
36336And ef it''pears queer to strangers, wots the odds?
36336And having disposed of this unimportant feature of the interview, he continued,"Ye have n''t heard nought o''Grace-- ye mind Grace?
36336And he pertendin''to hev bin her bo?"
36336And here I tumbled you off your own stoop, did n''t I?
36336And his name-- you have forgotten?"
36336And how was the deed committed?
36336And how''s thet little Manty o''yours gettin''on?
36336And how''s things, eh?
36336And if Spanish grants are so easily made, why might not this one of mine be a fabrication?
36336And maybe, if you''ve got time, you''ll tell me what was the reason I made that pleasant little trip to Sacramento?
36336And my watch-- who_ has_ got my watch?"
36336And then Gabriel, after the fashion of_ his_ sex, ignored all but the present, and holding Olly in his arms, said--"It''s my little girl, ai n''t it?
36336And then a Chinyman gins us your note"----"My note?"
36336And then nothing will be said?"
36336And this brother-- what proof is there that he is not an impostor too?"
36336And this is your house?
36336And whar''bouts was ye found?
36336And where am I now?
36336And where have you been, you naughty girl?
36336And where was Grace?
36336And why should it be given to_ you_?"
36336And why were these other pleasure- seekers rushing by the windows, and was not that a lady fainting in the hall?
36336And why?"
36336And wot passengers?
36336And ye wo n''t take nothin''more?
36336And yet how?
36336And you-- only an hour here?"
36336Any relation to the_ Carámbas_ of Dutch Flat?
36336Appil or cranbear''pie?--our own make?
36336Are ye goin''with him?"
36336Are ye hark''nin'', dear?"
36336Are you stationed here?"
36336Art thou certain, my brave friend, there are not_ three_ to this of which thou speakest?
36336Arthur!--what are you doing here?"
36336As it is, I imagine she wishes to make some compromise with the thief-- pardon me!--the what do you say?
36336As that was the subject his visitors came to speak about-- a fact of which Mr. Dumphy was fully aware-- he added, sharply,"What do you propose?"
36336As the clerk disappeared, Arthur turned to Dumphy,"I suppose it was to meet this man you sent for me?"
36336Axin ye ez a lawyer having experin''s in them things, and reck''nin''to pay ez high ez eny man fo''the same, wot would_ you_ call a good defence?"
36336Axin''your parding, do n''t they, Miss?"
36336Because you''re religious, do you expect me to starve?
36336Been doing pretty well lately, and having a good time, eh?
36336But I am curious to know how you could deliberately set about to wrong this woman; what was the motive?"
36336But after a pause, he suggested with a consciousness of great discretion and artfulness,"Suppose thet July does n''t come back?"
36336But first, tell me who is that wicked, dashing- looking fellow outside the courtyard?
36336But go on-- how did you do it?
36336But how does it come that a patent for this has not been applied for before by Gabriel?
36336But if it were Grace-- the sister, you understand-- what would be your advice?"
36336But is she living?
36336But now that we understand each other, would you mind telling me what was your motive for this peculiar and monstrous form of deception?
36336But tell me, do you really think that letter of this man Conroy is true?"
36336But what are the men looking at?
36336But what do you know of his history?
36336But what in blank are you waiting for?
36336But what''s this got to do with our affair?
36336But where?"
36336But who is he?"
36336But who is this woman?"
36336But whose business is it, anyway, legally, I mean?"
36336But why had they all risen with a common instinct, and with faces bloodless and eyes fixed in horrible expectancy?
36336But wot are_ you_ goin''to do without me?"
36336But would he be overtaken meanwhile by those in his rear?
36336But you''re not drinking, Mr. Dumphy, eh?
36336But you''re not startin''out agin without your dinner, and it waitin''ye in the oven?
36336But you, Arthur, how chanced you to be here in this vicinity?
36336By the way, there is another sister, is n''t there?"
36336C.''s?"
36336Can you reach the skylight?"
36336Can you think of any one?
36336Can you--_will_ you do it?"
36336Comprehendest thou, Victor, my friend?
36336Conroy?"
36336Could Don Pedro have been treacherous?
36336Could Dr. Devarges have made a mistake?
36336Could anything be done?
36336Could he have known, could they all-- Arthur Poinsett, Dumphy, and Julie Devarges-- have known this fact of which he alone was ignorant?
36336Could he not, with Dumphy''s assistance, procure a gang of men from San Francisco?
36336Could he regain the_ corral_?
36336Could it be really his wife?--had not the supercilious Poinsett been himself tricked-- or was he not now trying to trick him, Dumphy?
36336Could n''t Starbottle be bribed to expose at least the name of his client?
36336Could n''t you kinder drop in in passing and look after things?"
36336Could there have been any further facts regarding this inopportune grant that Mrs. Sepulvida had not disclosed?
36336Could this have been what Donna Maria meant, or had there been a later convulsion of Nature?
36336Did Gabriel even assume a virtue, and under the pretext of an injured husband challenge the victim to the field of honour?
36336Did he make any fight?
36336Did n''t I tell you to go round and see what was the kind of religious dispensation here?"
36336Did n''t they always pass the Fort where we were stationed?
36336Did n''t they beg what they could, and steal what they otherwise could n''t get, and then report to Washington the incompetency of the military?
36336Did you bring her with you?"
36336Did you hev a good time down there?"
36336Did you know him?"
36336Did you know who that was?"
36336Did you not get her message?"
36336Did you not, Victor?"
36336Did you not?"
36336Did your anonymous correspondent explain that fact?
36336Do I understand that I am to press this claim with a view of ousting these parties?
36336Do n''t ye mind that-- ar dress I copper fastened?"
36336Do n''t ye mind the nights I used to kem up from the gulch and pitch in to mendin''your gownds, Olly, and you asleep?
36336Do n''t you remember them-- the men gaunt, sickly, vulgar, low- toned; the women dirty, snuffy, prematurely old and prematurely prolific?"
36336Do n''t you see he ca n''t stand-- much less talk?
36336Do n''t you see it?
36336Do n''t you see"----"What?"
36336Do n''t you see?
36336Do n''t you see?
36336Do n''t you see?
36336Do n''t you see?"
36336Do you comprehend?
36336Do you comprehend?"
36336Do you hear me, Victor Ramirez?
36336Do you hear?
36336Do you not trust me, Victor?"
36336Do you suppose I came here to- night to congratulate you?
36336Does he know of the mine?"
36336Dumphy cast a suspicious glance at him and said--"Who?"
36336Dumphy?"
36336Dumphy?"
36336Dumphy?"
36336Echo answers''where?''
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?
36336Eh?"
36336Eh?"
36336First, I suppose your title''s all right, hey?"
36336For God''s sake, do you hear?
36336For why, Olly?
36336For why?
36336Gabe says he knew"----"Whom?"
36336Gabriel( cunningly, and leaning confidentially over the arm of his chair):"Wot would be_ your_ idee of a motif?"
36336Go to him at Wingdam?
36336Grace, what do you know of that man?"
36336Had anything occurred since then?--had any new resolution entered his head to which such a revelation would be fatal?
36336Had he not been cheated again, and this time by a blunder in his own malice?
36336Had he really become Devarges''s heir, and if so, why had he not claimed the grant boldly?
36336Had he-- had Dr. Devarges ever exhibited as noble trust, as perfect appreciation of her nature and sufferings?
36336Had his connexion with it been in any way revealed to the Donna Dolores?
36336Had it suddenly sank in the earth, or had he diverged from his path?
36336Had she heard it?
36336Had they not thrown away the priceless pearl of this woman''s love through ignorance and selfishness?
36336Hamlin( after another pause):"Has Pete Dumphy got anything agin you?"
36336Hamlin( with frightful deliberation):"you DID?"''
36336Hamlin,"Yes;"with a leading question,"sorter dark complected sometimes, hey?"
36336Hamlin:"You ca n''t?"
36336Hamlin?"
36336Hang it, my boy, do n''t you see why she was excepted?
36336Has Dr. Devarges any heirs to contest the grant?"
36336Has he got any sand in him?"
36336Have n''t made up your mind-- hey?
36336Have you any word to send-- to-- anybody?"
36336Have you had an attachment that was superior to novelty or self- interest?"
36336He groaned, and after a pause added fiercely,"How do you know your wife did it?"
36336He must see her at once; but how and where?
36336He only said,"Have you legal evidence that she_ is_ the widow?
36336He rose, and, standing respectfully before his fair client, said--"Have you decided fully?
36336He turned his small black eyes on Arthur, and said--"Do you think you are capable of such a passion, my son?
36336He turned to her gravely--"Ef you wus ever asked, Olly, ef I had been sweet upon Mrs. Markle, wot would ye say?"
36336Hev you been in the ditches agin, Olly?"
36336Hey?
36336Hey?
36336How comes dese dings?
36336How could he pass the time?
36336How did she do it?
36336How did ye reckon to find me?
36336How did you do it, Gabe?"
36336How did you find out what had become of me?
36336How do, Olly?
36336How do?"
36336How many leagues square?
36336How many miles you think to the stage town?
36336How much would you_ lose_?"
36336How soon?"
36336How then did this impostor gain the knowledge necessary to set up the claim?
36336How''s that?
36336I ai n''t askin''who nor which it is-- but ony this-- ez thet-- thet-- thet young woman dark complected ez that picter allows her to be?"
36336I ask you again-- will you share it with me?
36336I wish to inquire, sir, if it was then delivered to you?"
36336If he could come to Wingdam, why could n''t he come here,--that''s what I want to know?"
36336If my room is n''t large enough, and they ca n''t wait, there''s a handy lot o''ground beyond on the next square--_Plaza del Toros_, eh?
36336If she should be delayed, as often happened, for several hours?
36336If the steamer should not go?
36336If what?"
36336In making this exposure had he not precipitated a catastrophe as fatal to himself as to the husband?
36336Is her complexion like the young bark of the madroño-- the most beautiful thing ever seen-- did every other woman look chalky beside her, eh?"
36336Is it even necessary for me to give the name of my client?"
36336Is it not so?"
36336Is it so?"
36336Is the sister or the brother real-- or are they both impostors?
36336Is there a legal marriage?
36336Is there any family here-- any house that will receive him under your advice for a week?
36336Is your rifle loaded?"
36336It does not take you from us?
36336It is foolish, perhaps-- vanity-- who knows?
36336It is weary- eh?
36336It is what?"
36336It is worth the fee of another bottle?
36336It was a probable one-- was it not?"
36336It was given five years ago to a Dr. Devarges-- I beg your pardon, did you speak?"
36336It''s five years and over-- ain''t it?
36336It''s mean, ai n''t it?--they''ll grow again, wo n''t they?"
36336Jack( after a long crushing silence):"Were you ever under medical treatment for these spells?"
36336Jack,"Always white?"
36336Jo?"
36336Lead dropped out-- eh?
36336Look here, Olly, say!--do you take any stock in that lost sister of yours that your fool of a brother is always gabbing about?
36336Look you, Poinsy, d''ye see this yer posy in my buttonhole?
36336Lookin''at it, by and large, thar do n''t seem to be much show for a fellow ez hez been in enny ways kind to a gal, is thar?"
36336Looking up his bank account, eh?
36336Maxwell rose hopelessly,--"Then, if I understand you, you intend to admit"----"Thet I done it?
36336May I ask how you have acquired these later details?"
36336May they not calculate somewhat on your_ indisposition_ to prove it legally; on the theory that you''d rather not open the case, for instance?"
36336Maybe they have n''t time and are in a hurry now?
36336Me likee you!--shabbee?
36336Might he not have been delirious or insane when he wrote of the treasure?
36336Might n''t I, Johnny?"
36336Might they not both drive this woman into the arms of another man?
36336Mon Dieu, is it possible that one should mistake a giant?
36336Mr. Hamlin asked,"When?"
36336Mr. Hamlin( doubtfully):"You mean a run of luck?"
36336Nevertheless, the instincts of good humour and hopefulness were stronger, and he presently asked--"How will they come?"
36336No?
36336No?
36336Nothing more?
36336Nothing?
36336Now what do you propose?"
36336O, Señor, are they living or dead?
36336Olly, dubiously,"In the pictures?"
36336Olly, sharply--"Where?"
36336Olly, what did you say?"
36336Openly and in the presence of witnesses?
36336Or did he refuse you even that excuse for your perfidy?
36336Or had the Secretary deceived her as to its location?
36336Or have you taken the name of the young sprig of an officer for whom you deserted me and maybe in turn married?
36336Or is it the wife and accomplice of this feeble- minded Conroy?
36336Or, if not, is he her legally constituted heir?
36336People who could be strong only in proportion to their physical strength, and losing everything with the loss of that?
36336Perhaps they''ll call with you?
36336Perhaps you''ll kindly inform me what I''m lying here crippled for?
36336Poinsett?"
36336Possibly, she was at mass?"
36336Presently Philip called to her--"Do you see that log?
36336Question repeated:--"What was your idea or motive in assuming the name of Gabriel Conroy?"
36336Question:"In your early acquaintance with the deceased, were you not known to him as Gabriel Conroy always, and not as-- er-- er-- Johnny Dumbledee?"
36336Read it-- or are you a traitor too?
36336Rough times them, Gabriel-- warn''t they?
36336Said she''d been swindled?
36336Sepulvida?"
36336Sha n''t I bring you a chair?
36336Sha n''t I go for a glass of water, a carriage?"
36336Shabbee?
36336Shabbee?
36336Shabbee?
36336Shabbee?
36336Shabbee?"
36336Shabbee?"
36336She likee you-- shabbee?
36336She taught the child of the widower Don José Sepulvida, herself almost a child; you understand?
36336Sho?"
36336Should he tell Arthur of Colonel Starbottle''s interview with him, and the delivery and subsequent loss of the mysterious envelope?
36336So he said curtly--"What do you propose?"
36336So it seems I''m lucky in coming to you-- no trouble in finding this_ woman_ now, hey?
36336Suppose we did?
36336Surely this is nothing new to you?
36336Surely you will not refuse our hospitality to- night?"
36336Surely you will stop at the Blessed Fisherman, if only for a moment, eh?"
36336That do n''t look well for me nor you-- does it?"
36336That he knows nothing of you; of the circumstances under which you came here?"
36336The Señorita marries the rich man, eh?"
36336The handwriting was unfamiliar, but even if it were Jack''s, how did_ he_ manage to send it without his knowledge?
36336The house of Gabriel Conroy is upon the land, the very land, you understand?
36336The widow is rich, eh?--handsome, eh?
36336Then after a pause, he asked cautiously--"And how did_ ye_ come by this yer?"
36336Then more gravely,"But what is this?
36336Then she said, looking at the fire--"Ai n''t you well?"
36336Then, you have nothing really to make you suspicious of your own claim but the fact of its recent discovery?
36336They might-- weeks hence-- discover the bodies-- but who knows?
36336This Gabriel-- is he married?"
36336This is all what you call too theen, eh?
36336Thou didst observe his fear, Tiburcio?
36336Thou dost understand, friend Victor?
36336Through what unhallowed spell had this woman-- once the meekest and humblest of wives-- become the shrillest and most shrewest of widows?
36336To do justice to the unjustly accused, eh?
36336To the infinite credit of a much abused sex, be it recorded that Mrs. Markle overlooked the implied slur, and asked--"But what about Olly?"
36336To whom was it given?"
36336Turn your weaknesses-- eh?
36336Two lovers not rich, eh?
36336Under what circumstances is it held-- who holds it?
36336Victor bowed and answered with his teeth,"_ We_, eh?"
36336Victor raised his eyes and yellow fringes to the ceiling, and said, with a shrug--"_ Quien sabe?_ there are grants and grants!"
36336Was Olly really sincere in her dislike of his wife?
36336Was he going mad too?
36336Was he mistaken, and had Mrs. Conroy''s anger actually been nothing but a joke?
36336Was he not a dupe?
36336Was it not possible to dig in the ruins for the bodies?
36336Was it worth while to go on?
36336Was she about to revenge herself on Arthur for her long suffering with the late Don José?
36336Was that all?
36336Was there anything he could tell this terrible child-- his own sister-- which she did not already know better than he?
36336Was this not a country of gods?
36336Was this woman who has disappeared-- this sister-- this sole and only legatee-- a married woman-- had she a child?
36336We are proud, sir, we admit, of such men-- eh?
36336We understand each other, eh?
36336Well, what do you say?
36336Well, what happens?
36336Well, who wants her to?
36336Well, why dost thou stare?
36336Well-- what do you propose to do about this claim?
36336Were n''t they always getting up rows with the Indians and then sneaking away to let us settle the bill?
36336Were they not laughing at him now?
36336What are you afraid of?
36336What are you doing, you old fool?"
36336What are your propositions, what if I refuse, hey?"
36336What can you expect from that class of people?"
36336What could you expect?
36336What did I do?
36336What did he come back for?
36336What did you say?
36336What do you care?
36336What do you know of him?"
36336What do you propose?
36336What do you say?"
36336What does all this mean, Ramirez?"
36336What had a woman of that kind to do with such weakness?
36336What has become of her?"
36336What has he told you?"
36336What have you got to propose about it, eh?
36336What have you got to propose?"
36336What have you there?"
36336What have you to fear from this man?"
36336What is it?"
36336What is the matter?
36336What is this?
36336What matters that he had an explanation-- possibly a quarrel on his hands?
36336What matters?
36336What more was wanted to justify his worst suspicions?
36336What name shall I call you?
36336What need of any witness now?
36336What reason have you to charge_ her_ with being designing?"
36336What revelation would the next question bring?
36336What says it?
36336What should they do?
36336What the devil"----"Beg your pardon, sir; do you know anything about her?"
36336What then?
36336What was he doing here?
36336What was it?
36336What was that noise?
36336What was that?
36336What was your idea, Mr. Dumbledee, in-- er-- assuming the name of-- er-- er-- Gabriel Conroy?"
36336What would they think of it?
36336What you were doing up in the Court House, when you were driving those people crazy with excitement?
36336What you''re hiding here in this blank family vault for?
36336What''s become of that little boot- black that you used to bedevil?
36336What''s the matter, Gabe, ye ai n''t goin''?"
36336What''s the size of the figures to- day?
36336What''s their general complexion?"
36336What''s your balance at the Gulch, Mr. Peebles?
36336What''s your hurry?
36336What,"he asked suddenly and aggressively,"have_ you_ got to say about it, anyway?"
36336When are ye goin'', Gabe?"
36336When the stock is issued I''ll write you a cheque: or perhaps you''d take a share of stock?"
36336Whence came the power that had animated this fragile shell?
36336Where did you spot him?
36336Where have you been these long years?"
36336Where in blank are you going?
36336Where is this modest property?
36336Where shall I fetch her to?"
36336Where was the other tower?
36336Where''s the doctor?"
36336Which shall we have first?
36336Who are the survivors?
36336Who ez she-- enyway?
36336Who is that cavalier?"
36336Who is your plaintiff?"
36336Who is_ she_?"
36336Who knows?
36336Who then_ is_ she?"
36336Who was it-- another lawyer, dear?
36336Who was that man that just left the next room?"
36336Why did n''t he go right off to the Presidio?
36336Why did n''t ye rush in and grip his throat until he told yer?"
36336Why do n''t ye call?
36336Why do n''t you read it?"
36336Why do n''t you say something?"
36336Why do you trust your lives and the lives of women to that thar Ashley?"
36336Why does she remain absent?"
36336Why had n''t she managed it so as to kill Gabriel too?
36336Why not let her remain?"
36336Why?
36336Will you trust this paper with me?"
36336Wo n''t tak''nothin''drink?
36336Wot put thet into your head, Olly?
36336Would Don Arturo grant the Donna his further counsel and presence?
36336Would he not let her order some slight repast before they proceeded further in this horrid business?
36336Would it be sufficient to enable him to reach the_ casa_?
36336Would they believe his statement?
36336Would they continue to retreat as he advanced?
36336Would ye like to help her play with it?"
36336Ye ai n''t heerd anything o''her-- nor seen her, may be-- hev you?"
36336Yes?
36336Yes?
36336Yes?
36336Yet she prudently asked--"Is it ever hungry?"
36336You ai n''t such a blasted fool as to be stuck after her still, are you?"
36336You and St. Anthony in partnership, eh?
36336You are not alone?"
36336You are wet with this heretic fog-- eh?
36336You comprehend, Dumphy?
36336You do n''t believe it?--eh?
36336You do?
36336You had possession of the deed or will, had n''t you?
36336You hear?"
36336You know not that a saint has gone-- that Donna Dolores has at last met her reward?"
36336You read Spanish?
36336You rek''leck ole times on Sweetwater, eh?
36336You remember-- the house of Donna Dolores?"
36336You represent them, I think?
36336You sabe?"
36336You see her break that plate just now?
36336You see you and me''s-- so to speak-- ole pards, eh?
36336You shabbee shelliff?"
36336You shall stay with me to- night and we wo n''t let brother Gabe hear our little secrets-- shall we?
36336You think?
36336You understand?
36336You understand?"
36336You understand?"
36336You will help me?
36336You would not advise me to be false to that?
36336You''re sure you did n''t?"
36336You''re sure you feel better now?"
36336Your heart is not in your work-- eh?"
36336_ Sabe?_ Let''s understand each other.
36336_ Sabe?_ You''re a gentleman-- so am I,"he continued, hastily.
36336_ she_ said so, did she?"
36336afore folks?"
36336and so I ask you again, what are_ you_ doing here?"
36336and the widow''s fifty- six thousand?"
36336are_ you_ there?"
36336asked Arthur, quietly;"are you willing to go on and establish the fact?"
36336but she is a_ woman_--what would you?"
36336but what do_ you_ know''bout cards?"
36336does he not?"
36336echoed Olly, scornfully;"do you think I''d ever let on to thet woman ennything?
36336eh, Poinsett?"
36336eh?
36336eh?
36336eh?
36336eh?
36336eh?"
36336for a lady perhaps-- eh, Mees Clark?
36336for a lady?"
36336gasped Ramirez hoarsely,"you?"
36336going away, Mees Sal?
36336good God, what is the matter?"
36336he added, stroking Arthur''s riding- coat, and examining critically as if he had been a large child,"what have we-- what is this, eh?
36336he is the affianced of a rich widow in the Southern Country, you understand?
36336he repeated,"that''s a healthy lookin''_ sister_ of such a man as you-- ain''t it?
36336he said, abruptly,"why should this be forged?"
36336imprecated Mr. Hamlin furiously to the driver;"what are you waiting for?"
36336impulsive?
36336interjected Gabriel, suddenly,"thet looks bad, do n''t it?
36336is he going to die?"
36336is it necessary for me to say what these proceedings are?
36336is it so, Don Arturo?
36336or was it really the voice of little Olly?
36336or will you leave them for the present in undisturbed possession of the land?"
36336said Dumphy abruptly,"how much have you got in that thing?"
36336said Olly.--"Then?"
36336said Olly;"what was she saying when we came in?"
36336such as_ you_ can not even imagine-- do you suppose such a woman would not have guarded against even this?
36336that I am to be kept in ignorance of my duty as the hostess of the Blessed Trinity, or are you, Don Juan, my dueña?
36336what are you waitin''for?
36336what have we here-- a correction in the date-- in still another hand?
36336what have we here?"
36336what if a devoted, exhausting passion for somebody else already filled my heart?
36336what in dash are you dashingly doing here, dash you?"
36336what is this to you?
36336what is this?"
36336what''s gone of her?"
36336what''s that thou sayst?
36336what''s that?"
36336what''s that?"
36336what''s that?"
36336will you?"
36336you are wise, you are wise, Mees Clark, I would not for much money find myself under these criticism, eh?"
36336you did not?
36336you will listen, will you not?
34826''Cause why?'' 34826 ''You mean to tell me them fellers cut that quarter off a big- jaw cow?''
34826A month, huh? 34826 A stone?"
34826A weak sister, huh?
34826Afraid now, are you?
34826Afraid? 34826 After I''ve robbed the stage what do I do?"
34826After the roof feel on me?
34826After this Dawson business?
34826Ai n''t it kind of new for him? 34826 Ai n''t that a nice song?"
34826Ai n''t there any bread, Felix? 34826 Ai n''t you able to stand up for yourself no more?"
34826Ai n''t you asked her yet, Bill? 34826 Ai n''t you glad to see me?"
34826Ai n''t you got any nerve a- tall?
34826Ai n''t you picked up any trail of this sport?
34826All by your lonesome?
34826All right for Bill, but how about Tom Walton?
34826All?
34826Am I so alluring?
34826Am I such a poor match as that?
34826An overcoat?
34826And antagonize all of Walton''s friends, huh? 34826 And did you hear Rale say these were his private property?"
34826And held up the stage? 34826 And how about that last bribe you took?"
34826And if I do n''t?
34826And is this the one?
34826And suppose I tell somebody? 34826 And what made you think Bill Wingo was here?"
34826And when did you hear the name Sally Jane?
34826And when you saw this stranger and jumped him, I suppose you came boiling along right after him?
34826And where were you during the-- brush?
34826And why did you stand still in the middle of the street and look after her so forlorn and long?
34826And you came straight here?
34826And you mean to tell me they can get away with a deal like that?
34826And you''ll free the girl to- night?
34826And you''ll use it?
34826And you, Rafe?
34826And, anyway,tucked in the district attorney,"what was wrong with the wild tale?
34826And-- you''re-- sure everything-- has-- been-- all-- right-- all day?
34826And-- you''re-- sure-- everything''s-- all-- right?
34826Any chance of my turning a honest penny? 34826 Anybody see it besides you?"
34826Anything else?
34826Anything else?
34826Are they trying to fool me, or what?
34826Are you crazy?
34826Are you insane?
34826Are you sure, Tip,inquired Larder suddenly,"that Bill Wingo is the breed of horse that will_ always_ drink when you lead him to water?"
34826Are you trying to give me the double- cross?
34826Are you?
34826Been over there yourself?
34826Between us, Rafe, what did Simon do with the horse?
34826Bill Wingo, huh? 34826 Bill who?"
34826Bill, do n''t you ever distrust anybody?
34826Billy, you know I love you, do n''t you?
34826Black? 34826 Blackmail and extortion to subscribe money for the support of a girl whose uncle has been murdered?
34826Branding it on the Walton range?
34826But I thought you were saving Simon for Wingo? 34826 But how did Slike get hold of the butcher knife, that''s what I want to know?
34826But just for the sake of argument, how do you know that Slike did n''t kill Tuckleton?
34826But what good will it do to rearrest Hazel Walton?
34826But what iron?
34826But who are''us''?
34826But why leave here? 34826 But why should you want me to?"
34826But why stand your trial at all?
34826But why, Sally Jane? 34826 But you can resign, ca n''t you?"
34826By the way,said Billy, staring hard at Rafe Tuckleton,"I wonder if it was any part of Dan Slike''s plan to kill Miss Walton too?"
34826Ca n''t I? 34826 Ca n''t you do nothing but flap your jaw?"
34826Ca n''t you say anything different?
34826Ca n''t you see how it is, gents? 34826 Ca n''t you think of anything to do but buzz like a bee?"
34826Ca n''t, huh? 34826 Can I?
34826Can he do it?
34826Come here a minute, will you?
34826Conley shot him too, huh? 34826 Could n''t you give''em their way, sort of?
34826Crafty,he said severely,"why for are you monkeying with that gun?"
34826Cuc- cuc- cork?
34826Dazed you like, did n''t it?
34826Deafen you?
34826Did Bill Wingo send you?
34826Did Hazel say how long he stayed?
34826Did I? 34826 Did he say anything about Sally Jane?"
34826Did he talk about any men?
34826Did he?
34826Did n''t I see him with my own eyes more than once? 34826 Did n''t the coroner''s jury bring in a verdict of''at the hands of persons unknown''?"
34826Did that hasher do all those things?
34826Did that man with his arms tied kill Daley?
34826Did the calf have its mammy along?
34826Did the trail stop there-- within a mile?
34826Did this man say anything, about Sally Jane?
34826Did you get it all?
34826Did you go by stage?
34826Did you hear his name?
34826Did you hear what he said about leaving a lantern outside the cell all night, account of Tip haunting him in the dark?
34826Did you ride your gray horse?
34826Did you run away when the drunk man came out to the woodpile to sleep it off?
34826Did you?
34826Do I get the two thousand apiece for Hazel Walton, Arthur?
34826Do n''t they have any doors where you live?
34826Do n''t you know whether the cow was along?
34826Do n''t you see by that time it''s too late?
34826Do n''t you think their intentions are honorable?
34826Do n''t you trust us?
34826Do n''t you understand that I love you, Sally Jane? 34826 Do n''t you understand?"
34826Do n''t you? 34826 Do n''t you?"
34826Do something?
34826Do you know Crafty''s been lending money to Jerry?
34826Do you know somethin'', Guerilla? 34826 Do you know where he is?"
34826Do you like him?
34826Do you love him?
34826Do you mind if I search the house?
34826Do you think he''s going crazy, Shotgun, or is it only the beginnings of droolin''old age?
34826Do you think this will be a good year for business?
34826Do you, Rafe?
34826Do you?
34826Does it need one?
34826Drink and the devil, huh?
34826Everything all right?
34826Excuse me, ma''am, do you remember a tall, black- haired feller and a friend with him who ate in here yesterday noon?
34826Extra?
34826Five, huh? 34826 For instance?"
34826For the last time, Bill, had n''t you better change your mind?
34826Fourteen hundred, huh? 34826 Free hand?
34826Fresh air?
34826Game? 34826 Gettin''particular, ai n''t you?"
34826Gon na get your clothes or not?
34826Good Gawd, ai n''t you had enough ridin''for one day?
34826Good horse was it?
34826Good men with a gun?

34826Gug- guve mum- me more than you gug- gave bub- before?
34826Has he appointed''em yet?
34826Have a nice time?
34826Have n''t you any ambition?
34826Have n''t you started yet?
34826Have you any other weapon on your person? 34826 Have you appointed''em?"
34826Have you?
34826Hazel''s own pony? 34826 He do n''t care how much he picks on you, does he?"
34826He got caught, did n''t he?
34826Heard the news, Hazel?
34826Hell''s bells, Skinny, why did n''t you say something sooner? 34826 Her?"
34826Here?
34826How I''m to start in-- what do you guess? 34826 How about Tip O''Gorman?"
34826How about a drink, Tip? 34826 How about gettin''rid of him, too?"
34826How about having him spoil Walton?
34826How about him?
34826How about that bribe in the Jacksboro range case last fall? 34826 How about the Wells- Fargo guard?"
34826How about you fellers?
34826How about you, Tim?
34826How about you? 34826 How could we tell he''d turn out this way?
34826How do I know what? 34826 How do they know?"
34826How do we know Reelfoot did? 34826 How do you know I did?"
34826How do you know I worked the lever?
34826How do you know he ai n''t?
34826How do you know they wo n''t?
34826How do you know?
34826How do you make that out?
34826How do you mean?
34826How long do you count on boardin''me, Sam?
34826How long has Bill Wingo been gone?
34826How long?
34826How many butcher knives did you take from Walton''s?
34826How many''s he got with him?
34826How many? 34826 How much did he try to borrow?"
34826How much did your mules cost?
34826How much is it?
34826How much?
34826How should I know?
34826How should I know?
34826How''s that, umpire?
34826How, I asked you?
34826How?
34826How?
34826How?
34826How?
34826How?
34826How?
34826Huh,snorted Tip O''Gorman,"what does that prove?"
34826Huh- how much?
34826Huh? 34826 Huh?"
34826Huh?
34826Huh?
34826Huh?
34826Huh?
34826Huh?
34826Huh?
34826I ai n''t deaf in either ear, and besides ai n''t we all li''l friends together?
34826I do n''t s''pose you could persuade one of your boys to throw a li''l bite together for me, now, could you?
34826I guess you heard something while you were there, huh?
34826I know, but who manages the voters?
34826I said he was, did n''t I?
34826I thought you always said Dan Slike did n''t kill my uncle?
34826I thought you did n''t like Rafe Tuckleton?
34826I will, will I? 34826 I wonder just how much of that really is real?"
34826I''ve never broken it yet, but do n''t you see, once broken, what good is it?
34826If I do n''t appoint your men and do appoint mine, what particular form of devilment would the party feel called upon to put on me?
34826If I tell you, will you promise?
34826If I was you, you mean?
34826If it''s a li''l job, why do n''t you attend to it yourself?
34826If not, why not, huh? 34826 If you wo n''t have me for the twenty- fourth time hand- running, why not take Bill here?
34826In the saloon?
34826Insult you, you tarrapin? 34826 Is Felix Craft a good friend of yours, Jerry?"
34826Is it?
34826Is n''t it enough that I ask it?
34826Is that Tom Driver coming here?
34826Is that all I''m good for-- to help pass the time?
34826Is that all that''s worrying you? 34826 Is that all?"
34826Is that damn woman there?
34826Is that his name?
34826Is that so? 34826 Is that so?
34826Is that so? 34826 Is that so?"
34826Is that so?
34826Is that so?
34826Is the drunk with the black hair and whiskers around town?
34826Is there anybody else?
34826Is there whisky in the bottle?
34826Is this campaign your own private affair, or is it the party''s?
34826Is-- is that quite safe?
34826It has been done, but----"Where are the snows of yesteryear, huh?
34826Joking aside,he said,"will you marry me if I take this sheriff job?"
34826Joking aside,said she,"would you want me for a reason like that?"
34826Judge swallow it all right?
34826Lessee, where was I? 34826 Let''s have it?"
34826Look here, Rafe, what did I tell you about downing Tom Walton?
34826Look here, whose scheme is this, huh?
34826Look here,he said harshly,"you like Hazel Walton, do n''t you?"
34826Look here,said Rale,"if that shot was an accident, why did you flip in a fresh cartridge?"
34826Look here,said the district attorney,"if Bill Wingo ai n''t here, what did you go to town for to- day and buy all those supplies?"
34826Lookit here, Bill, what''s your game?
34826Lookit here, you do n''t doubt me, do you?
34826Losing your nerve?
34826Makin''butter?
34826Maybe I''d better go with you?
34826Me go slow?
34826Me? 34826 Meanin''?"
34826Meaning?
34826Meaning?
34826Miss Walton to you, do you hear, Rale?
34826Mixes''em up with the potato, huh?
34826No hurry, huh?
34826No trouble getting through?
34826No? 34826 None of you stopped anywhere, huh?"
34826North?
34826Not even a li''l teeny- weeny hole in you anywhere?
34826Not if I ask you to?
34826Now why should I do a fool thing like that?
34826Now? 34826 Occurred to you?"
34826Oh, ai n''t he?
34826Oh, he ca n''t, ca n''t he?
34826Oh, one of_ them_, huh? 34826 Oh, that''s all is it?
34826Old, huh? 34826 On the weather, or some one''s generosity?"
34826Once more, Hazel, wo n''t you change your mind and visit with us for a while?
34826One of themselves, for instance?
34826One, huh? 34826 Or else why was he so particular to tell those TU boys he was from Arizona?
34826Or he would n''t have said it, huh?
34826Plugged him plumb center, did n''t he?
34826Promise?
34826Prosperity?
34826Putting it thataway,said Bill,"what can a poor man do?"
34826Rafe attacked her, huh? 34826 Reason enough?"
34826Right down Main Street, I suppose, where everybody could see me?
34826Safe to antagonize the gang?
34826Safe?
34826Sally Jane, huh?
34826Sam,said Billy, when the owner of the house appeared with the drink,"Sam, how about a li''l hot something to eat?
34826Sam,said Sally Jane from the hammock,"s''pose now a man tried to hug you, and kiss you and make you sit on his knee, what would you do?"
34826Satisfied now?
34826Say, Bill,said the greatly impressed Riley Tyler on the way to the office,"what''s this about that deal of Rafe''s with the Indian agent?
34826Say, are you friends of Bill Wingo?
34826Say, whatsa use of lyin''to me? 34826 Second the motion, Rafe?"
34826Shall I suggest to Miss Walton that a letter would be sure to reach you at Jacksboro-- under an assumed name, of course?
34826She flew into a rage, did n''t she? 34826 Shindle,"said he softly,"you ai n''t thinking I would n''t keep my part of the bargain if I take your money, are you?"
34826Simon Reelfoot?
34826Simon,Billy said, glancing up suddenly,"why did Conley go South?"
34826Since when have you been dry- nursing rustlers?
34826Skinny tell any one where he was goin''?
34826Slim Chalmers, huh? 34826 So Skinny rode ahead and let you know he was coming, huh?"
34826So why waste your breath?
34826So why worry? 34826 So you found out how rough- gaited the pinto was, did you, Felix?"
34826So you really think I downed Tip?
34826Suppose Bill Wingo is there, then what? 34826 Suppose I want you to?"
34826Suppose he comes bustin''in the back way?
34826Suppose now you get plugged, Felix?
34826Suppose the deputies go with Bill?
34826Sure? 34826 Sworn in your deputies yet?"
34826Tell me,persisted Judge Donelson,"exactly what you think?"
34826Tell what?
34826That you, Rale?
34826The district attorney, huh?
34826The party?
34826Then how do you expect me to believe you ate supper with him? 34826 Then if none of you got off to turn the calf loose, the calf must still be there-- calf, fire and running- iron?"
34826Then what do you care whether I call him a murderer or not, if you do n''t love him?
34826Then why are you trying to prove he did?
34826Then why do n''t you tell him so?
34826Then why make it our business by coming here bellyaching to me and Craft?
34826Then you have n''t any evidence against Bill Wingo?
34826Then you think you''ve been badly treated?
34826Then you''ll do anything I ask, wo n''t you? 34826 There ai n''t no such word, but just for the sake of argument, why ca n''t I?"
34826There now,exclaimed the triumphant district attorney,"you hear that, Miss Walton?
34826There, you hear?
34826They ca n''t find out anything, can they? 34826 They do that, do they?"
34826They-- oh, he and his friend?
34826They? 34826 They?"
34826They_ could_, but would they?
34826Think I would n''t? 34826 Think you''re smart, do n''t you?"
34826This being so,pursued Dan Slike,"what''s the difference whether you pay me now or later?"
34826Thought of what?
34826Threatening you?
34826Three in all, huh? 34826 To- night?
34826Told you?
34826Turberville ranch? 34826 Two plates, two cups, two saucers-- who you been entertaining?"
34826Two thousand dollars for simply shooting a sheriff?
34826Was Sam there, too?
34826Was he a li''l, short, runty feller?
34826Was he there?
34826Was his hair black?
34826Was it Rafe?
34826Was n''t that a shot?
34826Was one of''em on account of Tuckleton?
34826Was that why you rode ahead and twisted your horse round and round on the trail so funny?
34826Washer name of other tut- tut- twin?
34826We''ll gather lots of honey, wo n''t we?
34826We? 34826 We?"
34826Well, how about it?
34826Well,boomed the district attorney, when Hazel did not instantly speak,"what have you to say?"
34826Well?
34826Well?
34826Well?
34826Were n''t you afraid?
34826Were those tracks made by one man?

34826What difference does that make?
34826What do you expect to hang him for, Rafe?
34826What do you mean?
34826What do you mean?
34826What do you think of that for a put- up job? 34826 What do you think we''re liable to forget?"
34826What do you want me to do?
34826What do you want to see me about?
34826What do you want? 34826 What do you want?"
34826What do you want?
34826What do you want?
34826What does a girl want with two hundred and forty rifle cartridges and three hundred revolver cartridges? 34826 What does it matter what they say?

34826What for? 34826 What for?"
34826What have Johnson and Kenealy done for the party?
34826What if they were? 34826 What in God''s name,"demanded the now thoroughly amazed judge,"has that to do with me?"

34826Why are you walking like a crab, Wildcat?
34826Why did Conley go south? 34826 Why did he get suspicious over the cows?"
34826Why did n''t you arrest her, Red?
34826Why did n''t you tell Crafty, you careless child?
34826Why did you not immediately enter the ranch house after you looked in the window and saw the boot soles of the dead man?
34826Why do n''t you do it yourself?
34826Why do n''t you marry the girl?
34826Why do n''t you wear my star?

34826Why? 34826 Why?"
34826Whyfor? 34826 Will you?"
34826Wingo,he said,"are you threatening me?"
34826Wise?
34826With its mammy?
34826Wo n''t he?
34826Wo n''t you even have his presence there investigated?
34826Wonder who did the shooting?
34826Would it be more comfortable if I sat on your stomach instead?
34826Would n''t I? 34826 Would n''t it?
34826Would you mind repeating all that?
34826Yeah, ai n''t it a joke?
34826Yeah?
34826Yeah?
34826Yes?
34826Yes?
34826You been at Walton''s?
34826You damned murderer, what did you kill him for?
34826You did n''t expect to see me so soon, did you, Arthur?
34826You do n''t actually sure- enough trust him, do you?
34826You do n''t like me a- tall, do you? 34826 You do n''t think I''ve stacked the cards on you, do you?"
34826You do n''t think we''ve got anything to do with the murder of Tom Walton, do you, Simon?
34826You do n''t want to go to jail now, do you, Bill?
34826You fellers mean to tell me you''re gon na let me be robbed of sixteen hundred dollars?
34826You followed his trail north to where the West Fork swings due west and there you lost it, did n''t you?
34826You going to be sensible?
34826You going to refuse me too, Tip, old citizen?
34826You got another round somewhere?
34826You half- promised it to Jack Murray, huh?
34826You have n''t always called her Sally Jane, have you?
34826You have n''t answered my question?
34826You have n''t any idea I''m gon na do two jobs for the price of one, have you?
34826You know damn well----"Who thought of it first?
34826You know him?
34826You know that letter from Miss Walton Judge Driver threw in the fire-- the one you heard me telling Judge Donelson about?
34826You like him?
34826You mean about the horse and cartridges and grub that Slike took from Walton''s?
34826You mean am I in love with Billy Wingo?
34826You mean the party machine?
34826You mean to tell me, Tip, that you''d take my bare word?
34826You mean we''ll go outdoors then?
34826You serious, Skinny?
34826You suppose so, do you? 34826 You think Bill did it?"
34826You think it''s too little? 34826 You think so, do you?"
34826You think so? 34826 You think the Coldstream is a good place to camp?"
34826You thought it had slipped my mind, I guess, did n''t you? 34826 You too, Samuel?
34826You want Dan Slike caught, do n''t you?
34826You want me to drag it, huh?
34826You were in Nate Samson''s store this morning, were n''t you, Red?
34826You were there when this girl, Miss Walton, made some purchases, were n''t you?
34826You wo n''t take my word that Bill Wingo is n''t here?
34826You''re not going anywhere, are you, Bill?
34826You''re so all- fired fat what''s a rough mattress to you? 34826 You''re sure of this?"
34826You''ve got the idea,"And you trailed him here?
34826Your uncle home?
34826_ Him_? 34826 _ Me?_"He nodded.
34826_ Why did he?_"I-- I----Simon stammered, and bogged down right there.
34826''Whatsa use?''
34826About that three thousand-- yes or no?"
34826About those deputies-- I do n''t suppose you''ll have any objections, now that you''ve got what you want, to appointing Johnson and Kenealy?"
34826After a moment he said, in an oddly dead tone of voice,"How did Slike escape?"
34826After all, why not?
34826After that shall I kick him out, or will you let Shotgun bite him?"
34826Again why?
34826Ai n''t I said I ai n''t scared of drunks?
34826Ai n''t Sam taking a goshawful time to that drink?
34826Ai n''t it luck, you and I being about of a size?
34826Ai n''t it nice, ai n''t it funny, ai n''t it a pretty state of affairs?
34826Ai n''t my word enough?"
34826Ai n''t she quite a friend of yours, Guerilla?"
34826Ai n''t you got any brains a- tall?
34826Ai n''t you got any credit left?"
34826Ai n''t you had enough?"
34826Ai n''t you heard anything a- tall?"
34826Ai n''t you, Jack?"
34826All right, what more do we want?
34826Alla same, Bill, who''s to ever know what you did?"
34826And Samuel, my own dear boyhood friend, will you send along the golden- haired chambermaid?"
34826And are those my other pants you have on?
34826And how am I going to swing it and do justice to the taxpayers, if well- meaning fellers like you are alla time experimentin''with me?"
34826And how did you know it all so certain sure?
34826And she drove him out?"
34826And she expects it, ca n''t you see?
34826And suppose I do n''t feel like having you risk your valuable life, Crafty, what then?"
34826And they think I downed Tip?"
34826And what are you going to do about it?"
34826And who''d convict''em?"
34826And why did you have it planned ahead?
34826And why was Craft so unnaturally sure that he could hold up the stage without being shot?
34826And you mean to tell me you did n''t even miss your watch after they''d gone?
34826And you''re afraid, are you?
34826And you''re going to get this Bill?"
34826And----""Is it important?"
34826And_ where_ is Jack?"
34826Answer me, have you?"
34826Any suggestions, Judge?"
34826Anybody else appointed?"
34826Anybody, he''s coming along all right, so what''s the odds?"
34826Anyway, Arthur, try keeping your suspicions to yourself to oblige me, will you?
34826Anyway, what guarantee have you that I would n''t?"
34826Are you sure?"
34826Aw, whatcha blubberin''about, cry- baby?
34826Be reasonable now, do n''t you think so yourself?"
34826Besides, what have you got to do with it, anyway?
34826Big legacy?"
34826Bill, I''ll take that bucket of water now, and Riley, how about fetching in an armful of wood for your auntie?"
34826Billy Wingo comes here, does n''t he?"
34826Both Shotgun and Riley are straight as strings, are n''t they, Arthur?"
34826But just enough to keep''em good- natured?"
34826But look here, what''s the use of me letting her go?
34826But what can a feller do?
34826But what else was there to do, I''d like to know?
34826But why did n''t Bill stay and face the music?
34826But----""But what?"
34826But----""Say, do n''t you see anything else yet?"
34826C''m on, Tommy, what you scared of?
34826CHAPTER SIXTEEN OBSCURING THE ISSUE"Well,"said Felix Craft, attempting a pleasantry,"how do I look?"
34826Ca n''t you get Ray back earlier than usual?"
34826Ca n''t you make it yourself, Tip?
34826Ca n''t you trust me with Sam?
34826Can I help you any?"
34826Can we, Crafty?"
34826Cat got your tongue?"
34826Did I hear you curse or something?"
34826Did Simon know where Park Valley was?
34826Did he say anything particular about Bill Wingo?"
34826Did he say?"
34826Did n''t she throw down on us with a rifle without any excuse a- tall?
34826Did n''t she try to split open Nate Samson''s head when he was hardly more than joking with her?
34826Did n''t we run across Red Herring at the end of the draw?"
34826Did you make a mistake too?"
34826Did you take the easiest way out and go on about your business, or did you jump right in and risk your life to save mine?"
34826Did- didn''t I?
34826Did- didn''t I?
34826Did- didn''t I?
34826Didn''t-- Say, where''d you get your information?"
34826Do I hear you say one?
34826Do n''t I ask you to marry me every time I get a chance?"
34826Do n''t know how I got here, do you?
34826Do n''t men ever think of anything else?"
34826Do n''t mind if I take a snooze, do you, Tippy, old boy?"
34826Do n''t they you?"
34826Do n''t you agree with Mr. William Noy?"
34826Do n''t you ever get tired of your own stink, you polecat?"
34826Do n''t you ever stop talkin'', Riley?"
34826Do n''t you know, my innocent William, that there are a sight more criminals outside of jail than there are in?"
34826Do n''t you know-- couldn''t you-- oh, whatsa use?"
34826Do n''t you see?
34826Do n''t you suppose I buy something to eat once in a while?"
34826Do n''t you think that''s a good many folks to have on hand so providentially, a night like last night?
34826Do n''t you, Hazel?"
34826Do n''t you?"
34826Do you call that an even break?"
34826Do you feel like admitting that the district attorney helped you break jail?"
34826Do you know, I never thought of that?"
34826Do you realize it''s nearly October, Bill?
34826Do you still think, Mr. Rale, that Mr. Wingo should be held?"
34826Do you think I''m gon na rub out a sheriff for a thousand cases?
34826Do you think I''m gon na run the risk of being lynched for a measly thousand dollars?
34826Do you think I''m losing my nerve, Rafe?"
34826Do you think you can get Jerry Fern in here and make him drunk?"
34826Do you understand?"
34826Do you wanna know why?
34826Dontcha know enough to put some bakin''soda on the burn and tie a rag round it?
34826Dud- didn''t I do all them thuh- things acc- acc- accordin''to cuc- contract?
34826Dumb, huh?
34826Ever see him when he gets that way?
34826Ever thought of that?"
34826Feelin''any better, girl?"
34826Fight?
34826For instance, where does Jake get his liquor in the first place?"
34826For instance, why was Judge Driver wearing your clothes when the bodies were found?
34826For me?"
34826Generous?
34826Gives you a thrill, do n''t it?
34826God, how he loved her dark loveliness, but-- what was she driving at?
34826Going, Crafty?
34826Good Gawd, man, do n''t you suppose if I knew where he was, I''d have him dumped so quick his hair would curl?"
34826Got a bottle tucked away somewhere, li''l girl?"
34826Got a tongue in your head, ai n''t you?"
34826Got any more eggs and ham, Sam?"
34826Had to hide behind a woman''s skirts and get her in trouble, did n''t you?"
34826Has anybody been saying I''d have to?"
34826Have another drink?"
34826Have n''t you got any gratitude at all?"
34826Have n''t you told your man to always work round sunrise and sunset, and never to shoot a calf''s mammy on her owner''s territory?"
34826Have you any evidence against these men?"
34826Have you thought of that, Bill?
34826Have you thought of that?"
34826He did n''t know who was the driver when I asked him, remember?
34826He told the passengers to remember what I wore, did he?"
34826He went to the door of the other room and whispered,"Has he said enough, Bill?"
34826He would n''t be expecting one man, do you see?"
34826He''s a good man, but if I''d known----""What difference does that make?"
34826He''s gettin''lonesome for you already, ai n''t you, Jonesy?"
34826Hells bells, what do you think you are?"
34826Here he licked his lips cat fashion and added"Is that cake for dinner?"
34826Him?"
34826Honest, is he?
34826How about it now-- willing to make it easy for me at the trial?"
34826How about it, Tip?
34826How about it?
34826How about it?
34826How about it?
34826How afraid?"
34826How could I tell Driver would slip up on his part?
34826How could she halt when she had not yet started?
34826How could there be?
34826How do we know that it was n''t the sheriff himself who murdered both men and wounded Slike?"
34826How do we know that you did not kill both Tom Walton and the judge and then lay the blame on this stranger?"
34826How do we know what happened before the fraycas at Walton''s?
34826How do you do it?
34826How do you like it, huh?
34826How far away is he?"
34826How much will you boys give?"
34826How old?"
34826How will you have them-- shot or half- shot?
34826How you feel-- pretty good?"
34826How''d we like that, huh?"
34826How''d you like to marry me?"
34826How''s that?"
34826How, damn you, how?
34826How-- uh-- oh, you want to know how, do you?
34826However, tell sister why you seek her company this morning?"
34826Huh?
34826Huh?
34826Huh?
34826I ai n''t kicked all the fighting blood out of you, have I?
34826I could explain it to you mighty easy, but it would take a lot of time and whatsa use?
34826I do n''t believe we could risk flaws in both indictments, could we?"
34826I expect you were delayed getting here, huh, Judge?
34826I killed Tip in self- defense, see?
34826I know you mean well, Sally Jane, and----""And it''s none of my business?
34826I thought I asked you for something to eat?"
34826I wonder if I really love her, or do I only think I do because I ca n''t have her?
34826I''d like you to have every chance-- but I forgot, you ai n''t taking any chances, are you?
34826I''ll be watchin''from the ridge-- Huh?
34826I''ll have the drop on''em, do n''t you see?
34826I''m going down to Jake Kilroe''s, and you''re going with me, huh?"
34826I----""What evidence is there against Hazel?"
34826If I let my beard and hair grow, who''d know me?
34826If she hadn''t-- Oh, hell, what''s the use?
34826If we thought Billy was in town, it would be our duty to hop out and arrest him, would n''t it?
34826If you did n''t want to have this sheriff hold office, what did you elect him for?
34826If you''ve got Bill Wingo hidden anywhere, you give him up, do you hear, Hazel?"
34826If, as you say, you saw the whole thing, why did you not prevent the murder?
34826In the shed, huh?
34826Instead he said, with a smile he strove to make natural and pleasant:"Hold Mr. Wingo?
34826Inwardly he thought,"What the devil does he want?"
34826Is it easy on the trigger?"
34826Is it wise?"
34826Is n''t he coming or what?
34826Is that bottle empty, Riley?"
34826Is that correct?"
34826Is that it?
34826Is that it?"
34826Is that right?"
34826Is your rope strong, Riley?"
34826Is_ that_ so?"
34826It will go with the letter to the judge-- unless you listen to reason and raise the three thousand-- What''s that?"
34826It would n''t be reasonable, would it, if we were chasin''him, to get off and fiddle around?"
34826It''s insurance on Tom''s life, see?
34826Leave the melodrama alone, ca n''t you?
34826Left ribs cattle, left shoulder and jaw horses?"
34826Li''l paddies all cold?"
34826Look here, did n''t Simon say either Bill or one of his deputies were always snooping round his ranch?
34826Look here, fellow citizens, who is going to take my part in this stage hold- up?"
34826Look here, what makes you think it was Bill Wingo caught Slike?"
34826Look here,"he added with an abrupt change of subject,"how did you find out Bill was still in this county?"
34826Looks like you''ve got me, do n''t it?"
34826Lord, man, have n''t I a right to bestow my heart anywhere I like?
34826Make a li''l map like, will you?"
34826Man alive, ai n''t you got_ any_ sense?"
34826More than anything else in the world?
34826No harm in it, is there?"
34826No?
34826No?
34826No?
34826Not a thing happened to hurt, did it?
34826Only?
34826Promise?"
34826Rafe, how about that last deal of yours with the Indian agent?
34826Rafe, shove the bottle over, will you?"
34826Raining and blowing for Gawd''s sake, remember?
34826Rale?"
34826Remember it?
34826Remember, Sam?
34826Rules of morality?
34826Sam, you lazy lump of slumgullion, get me some pepper, will you?"
34826Say, Arthur, whatsa matter with buckin''Larder and Craft after we put Tip out of business?"
34826Say, Hazel, lemme throw this jigger out, will you?
34826Say, have you got a six- shooter?
34826See?"
34826See?"
34826Seen Riley lately?"
34826Shall I open a window?"
34826She threw a knife at Nate, did n''t she?"
34826Sheriff, will you tell us in your own words, how you happened to be on hand in time to be a witness of the murder of Judge Driver?"
34826Shucks, whatsa matter with you?
34826Simon says''thumbs up,''you mean?
34826So it must have been Bill, see?"
34826So what care I for poverty or precious stones?
34826So you stay and be mother''s li''l helper, Bill, wo n''t you?"
34826Stay to dinner, William?"
34826Still, why?
34826Suppose any li''l thing upsets our plans, and our ticket do n''t go through?
34826Suppose something happens to you, what would I do?
34826Suppose you miss the stage?
34826Suppose----""Who''d hurt me?"
34826Suppose_ he''s_ seen, too?"
34826Tell me what''s bothering you?"
34826Tell me why you put that letter in the fire?"
34826Tell us all he knows, see?"
34826Tell you, Arthur, suppose I bring back Dan Slike, would that help me in-- my trouble?"
34826The political steersmen of our fair county rode out to my place last night and----""What did the old thief want?"
34826Then this winter sometime he stopped goin''to see Hazel, did n''t he?"
34826Then what in hell is she arrested for-- defending herself?"
34826Then when he told her, she asked,"How much?
34826Then you shot Tip your own self?"
34826Then,"I know what?"
34826There is still Bill, is n''t there?
34826They want you for sheriff, huh?"
34826They----""So Tip came with Rafe, did he?
34826Think I''ll corrupt his morals or something?"
34826Those revolver cartridges especially?
34826Tippy, I wonder if you''d mind opening the door and hollering to Felix to fry me up a mess of eggs while he''s at it?
34826To look at him now you''d never know he''d been shot, would you?
34826To- morrow we go to Marquis, huh?"
34826Trying to make small of me, carryin''on with other men, huh?"
34826Understand?"
34826Unofficially, Arthur, are you holding that against me, too?"
34826Wanna argue the matter?"
34826Wanna know why?
34826Want a li''l something to eat?"
34826Was Rafe indeed the qualified polecat Billy had half- way suspected him of being when he meet him hurrying away from the Walton ranch?
34826Was it to gain time, Judge-- to gain time till Skinny Shindle came in and did his part with the note from Miss Walton?
34826Was it, Judge, was it?
34826Was n''t one enough?
34826Was the calf hog- tied?"
34826Was the laughter forced?
34826Was the rifle cocked?
34826Was there mirth or something sinister in the gray eyes?
34826We''ll go out together, huh?"
34826We?
34826Well now, Bill, suppose the machine put a man in office, would he have to do what the machine told him?"
34826Well, be good and-- oh, say, Crafty, ai n''t Jerry Fern the stage driver this trip?"
34826Well?"
34826Were you?"
34826Wha''t''ell you laughin''at?"
34826Whadda you think we are?"
34826What I want to know is do you have to do what that gang tells you to do?"
34826What are two deputies going to do against Bill''s orders?
34826What are you after, anyway?"
34826What are you trying to do-- double- cross me?"
34826What are you waiting for?"
34826What chance has a poor girl got-- without a club?"
34826What could we do?"
34826What danger was there in listening to the details of Guerilla''s bargain?
34826What did I do next?"
34826What did she mean?
34826What did that li''l girl ever do to you?
34826What did they do?"
34826What did you let me kiss you for if you do n''t love me?"
34826What did you tell him?
34826What do you s''pose?
34826What do you say to one hundred wheels a bump?
34826What do you say?"
34826What do you suppose I mean?
34826What do you think of the proposition, Dan Slike for Bill Wingo?
34826What does anything matter so long as we have each other?
34826What else could I do?"
34826What else was there to do?
34826What for?"
34826What game are you talking about?"
34826What happens?
34826What has changed you, Mr. Reelfoot?
34826What have you done in Rafe''s case?"
34826What is it?
34826What is it?"
34826What kind of a looking man was this drunk?"
34826What makes you think they have an ulterior motive?"
34826What more can a man want?"
34826What more could a girl want?"
34826What more could a woman want?"
34826What more do you want?"
34826What on earth did he want?
34826What on earth was the matter with Jack Murray?
34826What then?
34826What was he goggling and boggling at?
34826What you gon na have for dinner?"
34826What''s fairer than that, I''d like to know?
34826What''s fairer than that, I''d like to know?
34826What''s fairer than that, I''d like to know?
34826What''s fairer than that, I''d like to know?"
34826What''s he look like?"
34826What''s that you want to know, Rale?
34826What''s that?
34826What''s that?
34826What''s the answer-- you going willing or will I have to tie you up in a bundle?"
34826What''s the matter with my crowd?"
34826What''s the matter?
34826What''s the matter?"
34826What''s your hurry?"
34826Whatsa matter with you jiggers-- tryin''to starve me to death?
34826Whatsa matter?
34826When a pretty girl clasps her hands and regards you piteously, what are you going to do?
34826When did you see Slim Chalmers?"
34826When this comes out at the trial, why would n''t that show that Slike was in the vicinity when Tuckleton was killed?
34826When will Wingo get here, and didja get him to come by himself all right?
34826When you saw Jack Murray was out to bushwhack me, what did you do?
34826Where are you going, Judge?"
34826Where are you?
34826Where did Hazel go?"
34826Where do you keep your saddle and bridle?
34826Where do you want to cool off-- in here or out in a snowdrift?"
34826Where is he?"
34826Where is that bottle?"
34826Where''s that Bible?
34826Where''s that pitcher?
34826Where''s the other man?"
34826Wheresh bottle?
34826Who am I to doubt you?
34826Who can say your story was n''t the truth?"
34826Who did it?"
34826Who ever heard of giving a Injun the best of it?
34826Who was the boy and what time of day was it?"
34826Who''d have expected Wingo and Tyler to be at Walton''s?"
34826Who''ll arrest me-- my own deputies?"
34826Who''s puttin''up the cash?"
34826Who''s they?"
34826Whoever heard of two thousand dollars for insurance?"
34826Whose confession?
34826Whose do you suppose?"
34826Why all the delay, Felix?
34826Why all this fuss and these feathers?"
34826Why bother that old gent?"
34826Why ca n''t you give up everything for me the way I would for you and take me away and marry me?"
34826Why could n''t he have rustled some other horse?"
34826Why did n''t he shoot?
34826Why do n''t you answer?
34826Why do you have to risk your life?
34826Why else do you suppose?"
34826Why go home?"
34826Why kill''em?
34826Why not Shillman and Riley?"
34826Why not to- morrow?"
34826Why not?"
34826Why not?"
34826Why not?"
34826Why put oneself out?
34826Why put the kibosh on you, Mr. Reelfoot, just because you make me think of a hoptoad?
34826Why should I?"
34826Why should you?
34826Why the smile, Judge?
34826Why was Simon glad chat he, Billy Wingo, was not going with him on the trail of the beef- killers?
34826Why was Simon worried?
34826Why was n''t she there?"
34826Why wo n''t you be sensible and take the easiest way out?"
34826Why would n''t she look at me, I''d like to know?
34826Why, Judge, why?"
34826Why?
34826Why?
34826Why?
34826Why?
34826Why?
34826Why?
34826Will I wear a mask?"
34826Will he snitch, do you think?"
34826Will you give us your word he is n''t?"
34826Will you have a free hand, then?"
34826Will you speak to a feller then, Bill?"
34826With a yank that brought the tears springing to her eyes, he said:"About that bottle now-- ain''t you a mite mistaken?
34826Wo n''t you come in, Billy-- before the kitchen gets all cold?"
34826Women?
34826Would n''t it have been a joke?"
34826Would that help any?"
34826Y''understand?"
34826Yeah, and his huh- horse and all too?
34826Yes or no?"
34826Yes?
34826You ai n''t forgot it, have you?"
34826You ca n''t help yourself, can you?
34826You could n''t connect an absolute stranger with us, could you?"
34826You did n''t catch me whispering in Riley''s ear while he was getting ready, did you?
34826You did n''t?
34826You do n''t mean to say you''re going home?
34826You do n''t really think I have, do you, Arthur?
34826You do n''t think I was gon na stop anywhere a day like this, do you?"
34826You expecting to do all this without help?"
34826You feel able to ride now?
34826You fellers want to bet?
34826You gon na be good?"
34826You got any money, Jack?"
34826You gug- got bub- bub- bottle, Guh- guh- gil- Guerilla?"
34826You have n''t given me up yet, have you?"
34826You have n''t thought of that, have you?"
34826You know now, do n''t you?
34826You know who elected him, do n''t you?
34826You let her out and tell Shotgun Shillman to take her to Sam Prescott''s right away-- right away, to- night, y''understand?"
34826You might have been killed, you know it?
34826You really believe now that Dan Slike killed Tom Walton and Judge Driver?"
34826You see, do n''t you, how you can never marry the feller?
34826You should have been-- What?
34826You think he killed Tom Walton, do n''t you?"
34826You understand, that, do n''t you?"
34826You were n''t fool enough to let on to your men-- your foreman or anybody, were you?"
34826You were supposed to ask questions about any suspicious circumstances, and did you?
34826You white- livered cur, do you think I''m gon na hang on your account?
34826You''re not a Federal judge?"
34826You''re quite right, Bill-- but ca n''t you see I''m talking for your own good?"
34826You''ve never taken a good look at her, have you?"
34826You?
34826You?
34826_ You''d_ be caught, sure as fate, and then where would you be?"
34826do you want to be the third senseless man in this room?"
34826he drawled,"Who''ll make me?
34826she said aloud,"I wonder what will happen next?"
34826what you tryin''to do, insult me?"
5099''Ai n''t you just about caught up on traveling, for one day?
5099''They''? 5099 ''They?''
5099''What d''you mean by pinching my wife?'' 5099 ''Your WIFE?''
5099A soldier? 5099 A-- WHAT?"
5099Ai n''t that sort of a big order?
5099Ai n''t that your machine yonder by the thicket?
5099Am I any different to what I have always been?
5099Am I so old that I must lie abed?
5099Am I to understand, then, that you rob me because of my husband''s action?
5099American citizens, too?
5099And do you attribute all these misfortunes to Paloma''s dressmaker?
5099And now he offers to square himself?
5099And yet this man met her in Pueblo and rode with her to Las Palmas? 5099 And you probably speak some of the Filipino dialects?"
5099And you quarreled?
5099And you''re an officer, too, ai n''t you? 5099 And you?"
5099And-- about Panfilo?
5099Are they ever naughty?
5099Are we-- mad?
5099Are you a madman? 5099 Are you accepted?
5099Are you alone?
5099Are you crazy?
5099Are you satisfied?
5099Are you smitten with that girl?
5099Are you sure he did n''t cross to the other side?
5099Are you sure?
5099Are you the gentleman, the friend, you pretended to be, or-- the vandal whom no woman can trust? 5099 Around Texas?"
5099Both?
5099But how can I be calm? 5099 But how?
5099But if she did n''t go there, where did she go? 5099 But why did you enlist-- a man like you?"
5099By the way, you know Josà ©''s cousin, Panfilo?
5099By train?
5099Ca n''t we prevent them from going?
5099Ca n''t you do something?
5099Ca n''t you guess? 5099 Ca n''t you take me away?"
5099Can I count upon your help in obtaining my rights?
5099Can it really be done?
5099Can you come to my office tonight, where we can be alone?
5099Can you take care of our horses, too, and-- give us a place to sleep?
5099Can you?
5099Clever little game, was n''t it?
5099Could n''t convict, eh?
5099Counting Mexicans?
5099Crazy?
5099D''you reckon you could find that goat- ranch by star- light, miss?
5099Dave said that? 5099 Dave, do n''t you know us?
5099Dave? 5099 Death?
5099Death? 5099 Did Blaze tell you how he came to meet the Stranges?"
5099Did I tell you anything?
5099Did he go?
5099Did he succeed?
5099Did it ever occur to you that I might object?
5099Did n''t I, Paloma?
5099Did n''t you know? 5099 Did n''t you see?
5099Did not that great poet Byron swim an ocean to see a lovely lady? 5099 Did you join the Maderistas for excitement?"
5099Did you know this?
5099Did you send him there?
5099Do n''t this beat hell?
5099Do n''t you consider this rather a mad adventure?
5099Do n''t you know how to be afraid? 5099 Do n''t you know?
5099Do n''t you know?
5099Do n''t you still believe in chivalry?
5099Do n''t you suppose I can tell?
5099Do n''t you take much for granted?
5099Do n''t you understand? 5099 Do you believe such stories?"
5099Do you like to read?
5099Do you mean that I, too, may go?
5099Do you mean that, Dave?
5099Do you mean to say that war has been declared?
5099Do you mind if I call her something else than Rosa, just to myself?
5099Do you think Ed would perjure himself?
5099Do you think I would remarry on the very day I find myself a widow?
5099Do you think I''m going to be tangled up in a-- murder? 5099 Do you want me to tell her for you, Dave?"
5099Do you want to freeze his brain?
5099Do you want to go to jail?
5099Do you?
5099Ed?
5099Eh? 5099 Eh?
5099Eh? 5099 Eh?
5099Eh? 5099 Eh?
5099Eh? 5099 Eh?"
5099Eh?
5099Eh?
5099Eh?
5099Eh?
5099End it?
5099Escape?
5099Father, what ails you?
5099For instance, they tell me that you shoot your prisoners?
5099Frank Law had two brothers and a sister, had he not?
5099Gone? 5099 Had to?
5099Happiness? 5099 Has Mr. Austin been here all the time?"
5099Has he-- drunk much?
5099Has n''t Ed done enough to provoke confiscation?
5099Have I hurt you so?
5099Have I not proved it? 5099 Have n''t you any suspicions?"
5099Have they got the body? 5099 Have you done it?"
5099Have you got him?
5099Have you had your supper?
5099Have you no friends hereabouts who would take us in?
5099Have you notified her?
5099Have you told her-- written her?
5099Have you tried it?
5099He got away?
5099He knows I am at home?
5099He was always a good man--"Good? 5099 Her?
5099Here?
5099Hide? 5099 How DID you escape?"
5099How about that Guzman affair? 5099 How can a man get along without the co- operation of his own household?"
5099How can you let her touch you? 5099 How could Don Eduardo have met this Garza at noon when, with my own eyes, I saw him ride away from Las Palmas at three o''clock in the afternoon?
5099How could I, when nobody knew where you were?
5099How did you happen to read Anatole France?
5099How did you know I wanted to see you?
5099How did you manage to get here?
5099How do you know I did?
5099How do you know it?
5099How do you know you do n''t like her when you''ve never seen her?
5099How do you mean?
5099How does that make you feel?
5099How is it that I hear such strange stories about you, general?
5099How long before I can really have you for my own?
5099How long has that fellow been working for you?
5099How long-- will it be?
5099How many men has he got?
5099How now?
5099How the hell do I know?
5099How would you go about it?
5099How?
5099How?
5099How?
5099I beg pardon?
5099I believe most Americans agree that you have cause for complaint, but what has that to do with my ranch and my cattle? 5099 I ca n''t keep you, eh?"
5099I dare say you''ve had a fine laugh at my expense?
5099I suppose you mean that you would make any sacrifice?
5099I suppose you refused because of the way Ed treated you? 5099 I thought you did n''t believe in divorces-- couldn''t stomach''em?
5099I''m not in very good shape to tackle a new proposition, but-- what is it?
5099I--? 5099 I?
5099I? 5099 I?"
5099If it ai n''t, whose is it?
5099If that bandit really means to spare us, why did he send us away in the night, like this?
5099If the soldiers are still in Romero, what then?
5099Indeed?
5099Insane?
5099Is General Longorio with them?
5099Is he dead?
5099Is he looking up range for you?
5099Is it as bad as that?
5099Is it to be my pleasure,he next inquired,"to meet Señor Austin, your husband?"
5099Is it very important?
5099Is n''t he?
5099Is n''t this rather sudden?
5099Is that the truth?
5099Is that what he came to see you about?
5099Is that why you continue to shrink? 5099 Is there any water in the Grande?"
5099Is there some other man?
5099Is this more of your protection?
5099Is this the fellow?
5099It do n''t, hey? 5099 It''s full of loot, eh?
5099Juan, do n''t you see? 5099 Killed him the first shot, eh?"
5099Kind of a low- down trick when they''ve just started housekeeping, ai n''t it?
5099MINE? 5099 Magic?"
5099Maybe he can tell me where to find Adolfo Urbina?
5099Me? 5099 Miz Austin?
5099My dear girl, are n''t you dreaming?
5099Need I be plainer? 5099 Need you ask me?"
5099Nicolas Anto, eh?
5099No? 5099 No?
5099No? 5099 No?"
5099Not-- really?
5099Now tell me, who did it?
5099Now the sister, your aunt?
5099Now what does that mean?
5099Now, friend, who are you, and why are you riding with this fellow?
5099Now, what''s the hurry?
5099Oh, why did you come so late?
5099Oh, you do n''t, eh?
5099Or is it,he asked--"is it that you are indeed apprehensive for me?"
5099Really? 5099 Really?"
5099Really?
5099Rosa Morales-- you know the girl? 5099 SOME town and SOME body of men, eh?"
5099STEAL HER?
5099Say, Dave,he cried,"that means your case has blown up, eh?"
5099Say, who is it? 5099 Sleep?
5099So just for that you come prowling around threatening my help, eh? 5099 So late?"
5099So you cared for me from the very first?
5099So you''ve found the girl, eh?
5099So, my brave Josà ©, you wish to become a soldier and fight for your country, eh?
5099So? 5099 So?
5099So? 5099 So?
5099Suppose I just go to war and-- and do n''t come back?
5099Suppose it should become known that you crossed the river?
5099Suppose they have n''t?
5099Suppose we''re caught?
5099Surely he would n''t harm you?
5099Surely you wo n''t hesitate after this?
5099That is Las Palmas, is n''t it?
5099That was some calaboose, now, was n''t it?
5099That went home, eh? 5099 That''s too bad, ai n''t it?"
5099Then I did well to steal that letter, eh?
5099Then how did you learn?
5099Then it''s no mere romantic infatuation on her part?
5099Then what are we going to do?
5099Then what is to prevent him from-- well, from having us followed?
5099Then what? 5099 Then why are you here?"
5099Then why do n''t you end it? 5099 Then you''ve learned something more?"
5099Then you-- shot him?
5099Then-- you killed him?
5099Then-- you''re an officer?
5099They WOULDN''T?
5099They do n''t, eh? 5099 They were engaged, were they not?"
5099This fellow behaved himself while I was gone, eh?
5099To the war?
5099WHAT?
5099Was that a-- shot?
5099We have had a pleasant friendship and a thrilling flirtation, eh? 5099 We?
5099Well, it was a great night, was n''t it?
5099Well, what do you want?
5099Well, what have you to say for yourself?
5099Well?
5099Well?
5099Well?
5099Were you going to give me up for that?--for a shadow?
5099What about that other witness?
5099What about your carousals at Brownsville?
5099What am I? 5099 What are they going to do with him?"
5099What are you aimin''at?
5099What are you going to do about it?
5099What are you going to do?
5099What are you talking about?
5099What are you telling me? 5099 What are you thinking of?"
5099What bloodthirsty business brings you to Pueblo?
5099What d''you mean?
5099What d''you mean?
5099What d''you want to know?
5099What damnable trick have you played on that girl? 5099 What did I tell you?
5099What did he mean?
5099What did you discover?
5099What did you suspect, and why? 5099 What do you intend to do?
5099What do you mean by that?
5099What do you mean, you nearly ran into my car back yonder?
5099What do you mean?
5099What do you say to them? 5099 What do you say?"
5099What do you want of Lewis?
5099What do you want of me?
5099What does he say?
5099What for?
5099What good are you to me?
5099What has happened?
5099What have we done?
5099What horse was it?
5099What in the world are you doing in there?
5099What is it you have to tell me?
5099What is the matter?
5099What is this? 5099 What made him pinch you?"
5099What made you hide?
5099What makes you think that?
5099What questions?
5099What right have you to object?
5099What satisfaction can there be in a good deed unless one receives public credit and thanks for it? 5099 What seems to be the trouble?"
5099What stories?
5099What takes you over there?
5099What the hell?
5099What then?
5099What time did it happen?
5099What time did you meet him?
5099What was I to think? 5099 What was his name?"
5099What will you do when-- he comes?
5099What will you do with me when your Mexican comes?
5099What''s that Greaser doing here?
5099What''s the difference? 5099 What''s the matter with you lately?"
5099What''s the use of getting me into trouble? 5099 What''s this you are saying?"
5099What''s wrong with him?
5099What, for instance?
5099What--? 5099 What?
5099What? 5099 What?"
5099What?
5099Whatever made you doubt it, Dave?
5099When did he go?
5099When did they go? 5099 When will he come?"
5099When you heard of this-- you came, eh? 5099 Where are you going, Ed?
5099Where are you going?
5099Where are you-- going?
5099Where did she go?
5099Where did you get those?
5099Where is Señora Austin?
5099Where is Urbina now?
5099Where is he now?
5099Where is he now?
5099Where is it now?
5099Where shall I go,she asked,"and what shall I do?"
5099Where''s that man on the sorrel horse?
5099Where''s your father?
5099Where--? 5099 Where?
5099Where?
5099Where?
5099Where?
5099Which one? 5099 While you were asleep I read your mail and--""My mail?"
5099Whisky? 5099 Who am I?"
5099Who are those people?
5099Who is he?
5099Who is it? 5099 Who knows?
5099Who said anything about murder? 5099 Who tells you this?"
5099Who told you there was water in the arroyo?
5099Who was this Ranger? 5099 Who''s going with you?"
5099Who, me? 5099 Who-- did it?"
5099Who? 5099 Who?
5099Who? 5099 Whom can I send?"
5099Why are you looking at me? 5099 Why did he leave Las Palmas?"
5099Why did n''t Mrs. Austin ask you to stay all night at Las Palmas?
5099Why did n''t you report it?
5099Why did n''t you tell me at the time?
5099Why did you kill Don Eduardo?
5099Why did you let me send you those silly books? 5099 Why did you let me sleep so long?"
5099Why did you take my cattle?
5099Why do n''t you follow her example?
5099Why do n''t you? 5099 Why do you ask?"
5099Why do you insist that he loves me?
5099Why do you think I care for you?
5099Why do you want Josà ©?
5099Why not? 5099 Why not?
5099Why should any one molest us? 5099 Why should n''t they?"
5099Why was he transferred? 5099 Why, they are breaking the law, are n''t they?"
5099Why-- do they want the body?
5099Why?
5099Why?
5099Why?
5099Will you hide us here until we can go on?
5099Will you speak?
5099Will you tell me--?
5099With what brand?
5099Wo n''t the circumstances explain it?
5099Wo n''t you do this for me?
5099Would you be willing to help me?
5099Would you give up the woman herself, if you considered it your duty?
5099Would you like to make a great deal of money?
5099Would you mind telling me what you and this Urbina were doing?
5099You HAVE a bad temper, have n''t you?
5099You are General Longorio?
5099You are Mr. Austin, I reckon?
5099You are a poor man, are you not?
5099You are injured?
5099You are still enough of a man to keep your word, I believe, so long as I observe my part of our bargain?
5099You arranged everything while I snoozed, eh? 5099 You believed I was a hawk and would seize you, eh?"
5099You ca n''t get nothing out of a Mexican,"No? 5099 You can marry us legally, just the same, ca n''t you?"
5099You did not imagine that I offered you anything less?
5099You do n''t really believe in such things?
5099You find it rare?
5099You have n''t tired of Rosa, eh? 5099 You killed him?
5099You killed him?
5099You like it?
5099You like knights and-- chivalry and such things, do n''t you?
5099You mean, do n''t you, that you know who killed him?
5099You must realize that I have the courage and the power to defy the world, eh?
5099You recognize those hairs?
5099You refuse-- to stay under his roof?
5099You remember our last talk? 5099 You remember the man?"
5099You said, last night, that you were born on the other side?
5099You say Mrs. Austin is gone?
5099You say you bring bad news?
5099You speak Spanish, do n''t you?
5099You surely did not--Paloma swallowed hard--"come alone?"
5099You surely do n''t accuse him of double- dealing with the Rebels?
5099You think Josà © is planning to kidnap her? 5099 You think he intends to pay us for our cattle?"
5099You think he was crazy?
5099You think not? 5099 You think she ran away to escape him?"
5099You think so?
5099You think you could run Las Palmas?
5099You told me just now that you do n''t know your family history?
5099You understand what that means?
5099You went to school in the East, did n''t you?
5099You were a Maderista?
5099You will give us safe conduct?
5099You wish spiritual comfort, señora?
5099You-- were a private soldier?
5099You? 5099 Your name is--?"
5099_ I_ must?
5099''Ai n''t I enough?
5099''That Bastilly was some calaboose, was n''t it''?"
5099..."Dave, was you ever treed by wild hogs?
5099A few moments later, as they were saddling their horses, he lamented:"What did I tell you?
5099A moment later he inquired, ingenuously,"I do n''t suppose you ever saw that Bastille, did you?"
5099A whole day and night, eh?
5099After a little she asked:"Has Benito finished branding the calves in the south pasture?"
5099After a moment he asked,"Well, why did you want me to come here alone, ahead of the others?"
5099After a moment she continued:"Since you know everything and everybody, I wonder if you ever met a David Law?"
5099After a moment she said,"Perhaps he could tell me something that I want to know?"
5099After a time he approached cautiously and inquired:"What shall we do with this hombre, señor?
5099After a time she faced the newsbearer, and in a strained voice inquired:"How did it happen?
5099After a time she said,"I suppose the nearest ranch is that Balli place?"
5099After all, what did it matter?
5099After all, why not?
5099After we had taken the town and destroyed what Rebel officers we found--""You mean-- your prisoners?"
5099Again he asked himself when and how he could bear to tell her?
5099Ai n''t I entitled to know that much?"
5099Ai n''t Las Palmas in her name, and do n''t she give you so much a month to spend?
5099Ai n''t that a skiff coming yonder?"
5099Ai n''t that right, Paloma?"
5099Ai n''t we, kid?"
5099Alaire trusted herself to ask,"Then we are free to go?"
5099Am I Spanish?
5099Am I not ready to give you my life?"
5099And have you no manners to stride into a respectable house--?"
5099And how could she hope or expect to be of help to the men engaged in the hazardous attempt?
5099And now"--Alaire extended her hand--"won''t you and Montrosa come to see me once in a while?
5099And supposing I do know something about the señora, do you think you can force me to speak?
5099And then what?"
5099And yet why had no one told him she was so young?
5099And yet, what other explanation could there be?
5099And you do not dislike me, eh?"
5099And you take this for what it''s worth to you: I''m going to get all the cattle- rustlers in this county-- ALL of them, understand?"
5099And you, ma''am?"
5099Are you the man I considered you or the man you are reported to be?"
5099Are you trying to keep something back?"
5099Are you workin''up a case, Dave?"
5099Ask yourself if you''ve shown any signs--?"
5099Austin?"
5099Austin?"
5099Austin?"
5099Blaze paused to wipe the sweat from his brow, whereupon his listener inquired in a choking voice:"How did you come out?"
5099Blaze realized that he was old and fat and near- sighted; but what of that?
5099Blaze, who had watched the snake- charmer''s deft ministrations with mingled amazement and suspicion, inquired:"What are you going to do with ice?
5099Both Mexicans cried, as if at a cue,"Who speaks?"
5099Brother and sister, are n''t they?"
5099But I never thought you were a downright criminal until--""Criminal?
5099But are you sure it''s altogether temper?"
5099But do you call that a nice action?
5099But have I?
5099But now, behold how it smiles-- like a star that sees Paradise, eh?
5099But surely you would n''t dare--""And why not?
5099But what can we do?
5099But who can govern a wayward fancy?
5099But who is so rich that he would not be richer?
5099But you never can tell about these Greasers, can you?
5099But you''ll be patient, wo n''t you, dear?"
5099But you''ve had hunches, have n''t you?
5099But, after all, what difference did it make who or what he was?
5099But-- did she get there?
5099But-- did you?"
5099But-- you know?"
5099By and by he inquired, vaguely:"Let''s see,... Where did you go this time?"
5099Ca n''t I fire a man without a long- winded explanation?"
5099Candeleria, his chief?
5099Choosing his words carefully, he said:"Do you mean to tell me that she''s missing and they have n''t given an alarm?
5099Could it be that something had gone wrong with the Ranger''s plan?
5099Could it be, he asked himself, that his quarry would have the audacity to ride to the Austin headquarters?
5099D''you know what I made out of it last year?"
5099Dave interrupted his vitriolic curses to ask harshly:"Will you tell me, or will you force me to wring the truth out of you?"
5099Decency?
5099Delicacy?
5099Did n''t I wise you three weeks ago that something like this was coming off?"
5099Did n''t he aim to get me at the first chance and free his compadre?
5099Did n''t he steal my horse?
5099Did n''t you ever KNOW that something you thought was true was n''t true at all?
5099Did n''t you spend a night with David Law?"
5099Did you get a look at him?"
5099Did you see nothing?"
5099Did you see that general?
5099Did you-- kill him?"
5099Divorce?
5099Do n''t I have a word to say about my own ranch?
5099Do n''t I know?
5099Do n''t tell me you mean-- Alaire?"
5099Do n''t you know anything about your family history?"
5099Do n''t you like the name?"
5099Do n''t you see what I''m driving at?
5099Do n''t you think I have feelings?
5099Do n''t you understand he holds over fifty thousand dollars''worth of La Feria cattle?
5099Do n''t you understand we ca n''t antagonize him?"
5099Do n''t you understand?
5099Do they know who shot him?"
5099Do you know what has always been my dearest wish?
5099Do you know what he feels at this moment?
5099Do you live around here?"
5099Do you notice the way he looks at you?
5099Do you promise?"
5099Do you remember a promise I made to you when you came to me in Romero?
5099Do you think I''ll be allowed, somehow, to have it?"
5099Do you think we''re ahead of Tad Lewis?"
5099Eh?"
5099Especially the President''s palace?
5099Even if you got away from here, what then?
5099Ever see anybody call a quail?"
5099Father O''Malley had joined the group now, and he asked,"Has war been declared?"
5099First, may I ask, are you a friend to our cause?"
5099For how could she hope to cover the hundred miles between La Feria and the Rio Grande when every peon was an enemy?
5099HAD to?
5099Had something happened to him?
5099Has she sent you The Swiss Family Robinson?"
5099Have I any Spanish blood in me?"
5099Have I not made myself clear?
5099Have I not promised to make you a rich man?
5099Have n''t I lost a lot of horses?"
5099Have n''t you any decency left?"
5099Have n''t you any fear?"
5099Have you forgotten that your pockets were full of unopened letters?"
5099Have you never read your mother''s will?"
5099He comes to see her frequently, you say?"
5099He has a way with horses, has n''t he?"
5099He ignored her accusation, inquiring of the elder woman,"Who was the fellow?"
5099He is President today, but what of tomorrow?
5099He knew her whereabouts and her peril-- why did he not come?
5099He must be a favorite of yours?"
5099He regarded her with some curiosity as he inquired:"Is n''t Longorio the very man who robbed you?"
5099He said both of them were killed?"
5099He summoned sufficient courage to block her way and inquire:"What you got there, now, ma''am?"
5099He''s dead?"
5099He''s off his horse and bending over-- What?
5099He--""Who''s been here since he left?"
5099How can I bless you?"
5099How can I prove it further?"
5099How could he make me do anything?"
5099How could it have been like this?
5099How could she have loved deeply when, at the time, her own nature lacked depth?
5099How could she look for succor when two nations were at war?
5099How did I get here?"
5099How did this effort to secure Don Ricardo''s body concern her?
5099How did you find it?"
5099How do you feel when you''re-- that way?"
5099How many of them had you read?"
5099How''d you like your eggs-- if we had any?"
5099How, when, where could he find strength to undo his action?
5099How?"
5099I am young, rich, a hero, I serve my country in glorious fashion, but what is all that if there is no pretty one to care?
5099I bet we''ll enjoy''em, eh?
5099I go, and-- leave you?"
5099I know you well-- completely-- everything about you is familiar to me, and yet we meet for the first time, eh?
5099I know-- what killed him?"
5099I mean, have you asked her to marry you?"
5099I reckon you did n''t understand the message, did you?"
5099I reckon you- all are friends of Ricardo Guzman, and you just could n''t wait to find out about him, eh?"
5099I rode to that tanque where you saw him last, and what do you think?
5099I was miserable enough before, what shall I do now?"
5099I-- I want her, ma''am; I''m just sick from wanting her, but-- won''t you let me buy her?"
5099IX A SCOUTING TRIP"What ails you?"
5099If he ca n''t marry me, if he finds you''re gone and he ca n''t lay hands on you, what can he do but let me go?
5099If he is madly bent on having you, how can you prevent it?
5099If he really faced a firing- squad, for instance-- I reckon Washington would have something to say, eh?"
5099If he were alive why had he not written to his sweetheart, Rosa?
5099If they encounter Longorio''s men-- You understand?"
5099If your soldiers march upon Mexico City, it would be a brilliant piece of strategy for General Longorio to invade the United States, would it not?
5099In God''s name have I not waited long enough?
5099In another hour you would have been across the Rio Grande-- with Rosa and all her fine clothes, eh?
5099In the mean time, may I beg the hospitality of your ranch for myself and my men?"
5099Inasmuch as the thing existed, why deny its right to exist?
5099Incense and adoration and---""What''s the matter with you?"
5099Is it that bad?"
5099Is n''t it true?"
5099Is n''t there anything else?"
5099Is n''t there some other way out?"
5099Is that any way to act?"
5099Is that it?
5099Is that it?"
5099Is that it?"
5099Is that what it was?
5099Is that you, Tad?"
5099Is that you- all?"
5099Is your dream of greatness only a dream?
5099It is a fine condition of affairs when a wife keeps secrets from her husband, eh?
5099It seems I''ve been carrying it around all this time--""Why do n''t you read it?"
5099It seems easy now, while you are here, but how will it seem later?
5099It was a mark of Longorio''s favor, you understand me?
5099It would be funny to capture Washington and hold your President for ransom, eh?"
5099It''s a shame how human nature has got mixed up since then, is n''t it?
5099It''s up to you to do something, ai n''t it?"
5099Just to be with me?"
5099Law?"
5099Mad?
5099Me, insane?
5099Mindful of the Ranger''s courtesy to her on their previous meeting, Alaire said:"Wo n''t you go with us?
5099Nevertheless, he forced himself to ask, quietly:"Is Josà © Sanchez anywhere about?"
5099No, sir; that hombre was n''t any good, was he?"
5099Noting the effect of these words, Alaire cried, sharply,"What''s the matter, Ed?"
5099Now that I''m home you want me to get rid of him, eh?
5099Now what has this woman done to you?"
5099Now who''s giving you orders, Dave?"
5099Now, do n''t you see?
5099Now, what have you done to yourself?"
5099Now, what is this you are telling me?"
5099Now-- suppose I should let you go?
5099Of what wild extravagance was he not capable?
5099One of my men?"
5099Only a coward shrinks from the unpleasant; I shall lighten her distress and awaken in her breast new hope, new happiness''--""What do you mean?"
5099Or did Longorio have other plans for her?
5099Paloma broke out, impatiently:"Why do n''t you say what you think?"
5099Pancho Gomez?
5099Please tell me?"
5099Potosi?
5099Promise?"
5099Remember the fortune in cattle you have already taken--"Longorio broke in with a snarl:"Is it my fault that the country is in arms?
5099Ricardo Guzman''s body?"
5099Riches?
5099Say, Judge, how''d you like to have to live with a perfect lady?"
5099Seriously, though, do n''t you realize that we are Americans, and people of position?
5099Señor Ed was drinking again, you understand?
5099She faced him silently for a moment; then she said:"Am I to understand that you forbid me to leave my own house?"
5099She made a hopeless gesture, and Alaire wondered momentarily whether the girl''s anxiety was keenest for the safety of her father or-- the other?
5099She was your-- bonita, eh?
5099She went toward him on weak, unsteady feet, but she halted as the voice of Longorio cut in sharply:"What''s this I hear?
5099She wondered if he knew it, and, if so, why he had n''t told her?
5099Since it was God''s will that your cousin came to a bad end, why follow in his footsteps?
5099Since it was in no wise dishonorable, how could it be wrong, provided it went no further?
5099So you think women are selfish in love?"
5099So you-- cut under Ed Austin, eh?"
5099So''ll Ed Austin, I guess me an''Ed are responsible, ai n''t we?"
5099Some great jefe?
5099Still, I reckon a thief would have trouble getting out of your reach, and once you got close to him-- How many men have you killed?"
5099Strange broke into his frowning meditation to ask,"How long since you had a night''s sleep?"
5099Strange herself opened the kitchen door to inquire,"Is anything wrong?"
5099Suppose Adolfo tells what he knows about them horses?
5099Suppose I tell the jury that there were three of us in that pasture of yours, instead of two?
5099Suppose it should transpire that he was somehow defective?
5099Suppose you refuse?
5099Tad was afraid to let Urbina come to trial-- you remember one of his men boasted that the case would never be heard?
5099Tell me, is she nice?"
5099Tell me, this city of Washington is a fine city, and very rich, is it not?"
5099Tell me, what did you find out?"
5099That is how it is, eh?
5099The general transfixed his trooper with a stare; then, as the latter seemed bereft of his voice,"Why did you enter this house?"
5099The man hesitated, at which she insisted,"Where?"
5099The men eyed each other silently; then Phil inquired:"Well, what do you make of it?"
5099Then Alaire asked:"Dear, have you considered how we-- are going to explain our marriage?"
5099Then after a moment:"Who is it, the Greaser or the cowboy?"
5099Then he asked, gravely:"Why did n''t she pick a real fellow, who''d kneel and kiss the hem of her dress and make a man of himself?
5099Then he continued, musingly:"No water there, eh?
5099Then he is indeed dead?"
5099Then querulously he demanded of Adolfo:"Why in hell did you come here, anyhow?
5099Then this Guzman is dead?"
5099Then what?
5099Then, when the war comes and all is chaos then what?
5099There was an interval of silence, then Ed exclaimed, testily,"What are you looking at?"
5099Think you''ll lease it?"
5099This is terrible, is n''t it?"
5099This was a will-- one of those queer Spanish documents of which Alaire had heard-- but who was Maria Josà © fa Law?
5099Thrusting his head forward, he demanded:"What is this?
5099Torture, eh?
5099Trying to frame up a case, maybe?
5099Turning his eyes wildly upon Alaire, he shouted:"Too late, eh?
5099Um- m-- you were gone three days, were n''t you?"
5099Understand?
5099Understand?"
5099Understand?"
5099Understand?"
5099Understand?"
5099Urbina agreed;"but you would not wish to be called a cattle thief, eh?"
5099Urbina exhaled a lungful of cigarette smoke and inquired,"You wo n''t help me, eh?"
5099WAS he my father?"
5099Was it-- because of me?"
5099Was she so cold, after all, or was she merely reserved?
5099Was the horse branded?"
5099We must think it out, the best way we can, I-- wonder what you think of me?"
5099We three shall ride the fences, and if we encounter a cut wire-- diablo!--we shall have a story to tell, eh?"
5099Well, then, if you would steal your wife''s horses, why would you not steal your neighbor''s cattle?
5099What ails you, anyhow?"
5099What ails you?"
5099What ails your tongue, Dolores?"
5099What are they except artificialities, which vanish in times of stress?
5099What are you going to do?"
5099What are you talking about?

5099What could it be?

5099What d''you want him for, and who are you?"
5099What did Josà © confess?"
5099What did he do then?
5099What do you call a big thing?"
5099What do you call-- such an act?"
5099What do you know about the French Revolution?"
5099What do you mean?
5099What do you think of a people who forbid the mention of God''s name in their schools?

5099What have I taken?"
5099What have we got''em for, anyhow?"
5099What is her name?"
5099What is his name?"
5099What is it?
5099What is it?"
5099What is this?"
5099What kind of a fool is her husband?
5099What kind of a man are you?
5099What kind of man are you to take advantage of my bereavement?"
5099What makes you think Guzman lost any calves?"
5099What makes you think I''ve inherited-- the damned thing?
5099What mattered these diplomatic communications between the two governments?
5099What next would he do?
5099What of it?
5099What possibilities were in a man of his electric temperament, who had the strength to throttle his fiercest longings?
5099What steps can the government take, with the fleet on its way to Vera Cruz, with the army mobilizing, and with diplomatic relations suspended?
5099What the devil could Longorio want with"The Lone Star"at such an hour?
5099What then?

5099What was Ed''s evil heritage compared to his own?
5099What was I--?
5099What was wanted of him?

5099What''s goin''on here?"
5099What''s happened to her?"
5099What''s happened?"
5099What''s on your mind, Strange?"
5099What''s on your mind?"
5099What''s that?"
5099What''s the idea?"
5099What''s the matter with you?
5099What, after all, was his mission upon earth if not to serve Longorio''s interests?
5099What--?"
5099When Dave had explained, she cried, quickly,"You were n''t riding-- Bessie Belle?"
5099When I investigated, what d''you suppose I found?
5099When they stood face to face in the shade of a gnarly oak- tree, Alaire asked him point- blank:"Where is Panfilo Sanchez?"
5099When you tell your husband what a friend I am he would be glad to see me, would he not?"
5099Where are you from?"
5099Where are you going?"
5099Where did he go?
5099Where in the world did you drop from?"
5099Where is he?"

5099Who?"
5099Who?"
5099Who?"
5099Whom did Don Ricardo suspect?

5099Why not start it now?"
5099Why should I not presume to look through them briefly?
5099Why should he presume to call upon her unless-- he was interested?
5099Why should we?"
5099Why this hombre needs quick hangin'', do n''t he?
5099Why wait for another investigation by General Longorio?

5099Why?"
5099Why?"
5099Will he not sacrifice you to his passions?
5099Will you come to my house for supper?"
5099Will you marry us, before Longorio arrives?"
