1318	After he had gone and my room- mate and myself were left alone, about the first question that George asked me was,"How long have you got?"

1318	But how can they accomplish this?
1318	By the way,"he continued,"are you alive at the present moment after all that you have suffered?"
1318	Can he ever be a man among men who has for a time been numbered with the debased of earth?
1318	Coming in contact with hardened and vicious criminals, what hope is there for getting these boys into the paths of honesty and uprightness?

1318	Is it possible for him to be clothed in the garments of respectability who once has been attired in the habiliments of disgrace?

1318	Is there any hope for the ex- convict?
1318	Is this boy guilty?

1318	Reader, is it not a sad thought that these four young men, brothers, should spend ten of the best years of their lives in a prison?
1318	Reader, what do you suppose was the object this convict had in view in thus feigning death?
1318	Reader, what would you have done?
1318	Reynolds, is this you?"
1318	The main question is: Was he in the penitentiary?
1318	The question:"What shall I do in the future?"

1318	Who was the monster that had committed this terrible and atrocious act?
1318	Who will employ a convict?
1318	Who will give him work to do?
1318	Who will lend him a helping hand in his struggle to regain a foothold in the outside world?
1318	Why are they so docile?
1318	Why is it they do not make a rush for liberty whenever an opportunity presents itself?
1318	Why was it that I was the only one sent to the penitentiary when there was the secretary, treasurer, and six directors equally as guilty as myself?
1318	Why was this?
1318	Will you do this for me?
1318	Would it not be better to give these boys a term in the county jails, or in some reformatory, instead of sending them to a penitentiary?
1318	You would decline his services, and who could blame you?
1318	Young man, as you read the history of this convict, can you not persuade yourself to let whisky and cards alone for the future?
1318	Young man, as you read this, had you not better make up your mind to go rather slow in pouring whisky down your throat in future?

19071	''How are we ever going to get them down?'' 19071 ''What on earth is the matter?''
19071	''Where are we at?'' 19071 And have n''t you ever seen them since?"
19071	And then the peccary flew away again?

19071	How shall we still the winds?
19071	If the Wise Men come out of the East,it was his last plea,"and build the Magic City, then you will come back?"
19071	If the crops succeed,he ventured,"and I build you a beautiful house, then will you come back?"
19071	Is this the place where the Indians pitched their tents?
19071	Is you gwine away, chile, widout tellin''youah black Mammy good- by?
19071	Of what, sweet?
19071	Seth,said Cyclona, to whom no dream was too fanciful,"are you goin''to build this house just like that one?"
19071	Seth,said she,"where is the room for the Prince?"
19071	Seth,she said, presently, touching him on the shoulder,"are n''t you getting this house mixed up with the House of the Lord?"
19071	Seth? 19071 Shall we have so many windows?"
19071	Tell me more about the Princess,soothed Cyclona,"is she so beautiful?"
19071	The corn is fine, John, is n''t it?
19071	The man who owns the ground on which they are to build the Magic City?
19071	There be''n''t many neighbors hereabout, be there?
19071	Was that to be his fate?
19071	Was there anything for him?
19071	We ca n''t rise all at once from our station in life, can we? 19071 What made you move, then?"
19071	What right has that Celia got to any money that comes out of the West she hated so, out of this wind- blown place she would n''t live in? 19071 What sort of man is the father?"
19071	Wheah did you come frum?
19071	Wheah do you live?
19071	Where is it?
19071	Where is she now?
19071	Where is the house?

19071	You goin''away, Miss Celia?
19071	You see that little dugout''way ovah theah? 19071 You will come back to the child?"
19071	After a long time Seth raised beseeching eyes to her in an unspoken question:"Does he breathe?"
19071	After a time:"Is it possible?"
19071	Already they had reared a town that dared approach in size to a city on the edge of the desert, but what had happened?
19071	And Seth?
19071	As for Seth, he could only articulate one word:"Why?
19071	Besides, had n''t he Cyclona?
19071	But how?"
19071	But what can you do for him?
19071	But what of the boy then?
19071	Cyclona put the baby back on the bed, faced the fury of the wind a moment, then cried out to it:"Why ca n''t you behave?"
19071	Cyclona, has no one written to Celia that she has no child?"
19071	Do n''t they?
19071	Do n''t you know the little baby has n''t any mother now; that she''s left him and gone away?"
19071	Do n''t you know the little baby''s mother has gone away?
19071	For mere amusement after the manner of children?
19071	Have I read that or dreamed it?
19071	How could He look after so many?
19071	How could we?
19071	How many months has she been away from him now?
19071	How much time would it take?
19071	How was it possible for her to remain apart from her husband and child so long?
19071	How would she receive him?
19071	If ever a man deserved a good wife it''s that man, Seth, and what did he get?
19071	If he put them here with all their faculties, was it His fault if they failed?
19071	If not, then why?
19071	If you could, would you build her a bath like that, Seth?"
19071	It seems like magic, does n''t it?"
19071	It was pretty cute of her, was n''t it, to jump Seth''s claim?"
19071	It''s awkward, ai n''t it?
19071	Or had He forsaken the people and the country, as Celia had said?
19071	Or would they always stop just short of it?
19071	Seth had listened to these stories undismayed; for what had they to do with his ranch and the Magic City upon which it was to be built?
19071	Should they not cling together?
19071	Some lives must invariably be sacrificed to the upbuilding of any new country, but why so many?
19071	The way the wind blew?
19071	Then, in the outspoken manner of the prairie folk he asked:"Who ah you?"
19071	Was Seth in the dugout then, or in that other room?
19071	Was he not very young to leave for such a length of time?
19071	Was it his Mother Nature, his Guardian Angel, or God?
19071	Was it the wind or his heart?
19071	Was not that a strange mother who could thus separate herself from a babe in arms; who could deprive him of the warmth and comfort of her embrace?
19071	What earthly father would create hearts only to crush them?
19071	What earthly father would demand that his children rush headlong into danger unquestioningly?
19071	What earthly father would knowingly permit his children to stumble blindly along dangerous pathways into dangerous places?
19071	What had happened?
19071	What if the ghastly spectacle should turn his brain?
19071	What of him?
19071	What sort of woman can she be anyway to leave a little nursing baby?"
19071	What sort of woman is she, anyway?
19071	What was it?
19071	What was it?
19071	What was it?
19071	What was it?
19071	When?
19071	Which way was home?
19071	Who knows?
19071	Who was Seth that he should be exempt from this law?
19071	Why had He created the Seths to weary for love of the Celias and the Cyclonas to eat out their hearts for love of the Seths?
19071	Why had He created this huge joke of an animal, part body, part soul, all nerves keen to catch at suffering, only to laugh at it?
19071	Why had He made of it a slate upon which to draw lines of human beings, then wipe them aimlessly off as would any child?
19071	Why had He made others all soul?
19071	Why had He seen fit to fashion some all body and no soul?
19071	Why had He taken the pains to fashion this Opera Bouffe of a world at all?
19071	Why had He thrust human beings onto this earth against their will, without their volition, to suffer the tortures of the damned?
19071	Why not stand it on oxen like that, Seth?"
19071	Why not use some other wood?
19071	Why should a cyclone that could snatch up a river and toss it to the clouds, fight shy of the forks of two?
19071	Why should n''t she hate the wind?
19071	Why waste his life, then, in dreams and fantasies, in regrets, and hopings, when here lay a glowing, breathing, living reality?
19071	Why?
19071	Why?
19071	Why?"
19071	Will you?"
19071	You know that, do n''t you, Cyclona?"
19071	asked Charlie,"or him?"
19071	exclaimed Hugh,"but must you have gold door knobs?"
19071	he asked dreamily,"how I shall match that rose color of her cheek, not havin''her by?
19071	he cried,"Must we bring cedar all the way from the South?
19071	he exclaimed,''is the matter with the roof?''
19071	he mused, half to himself, half to Cyclona,"to build a house without a cellah?"
19071	she asked,"how ha''d the wind blows if you''ve got youah husband?"
19071	they asked,"because no cyclones come here?"
12973	''But,''said Butler,''I''ll warrant the dogs are after a bear; do n''t you hear old Beaver? 12973 And they mobbed you at Atchison?"
12973	Anybody hurt?
12973	Anybody killed?
12973	Are you a correspondent of the_ New York Tribune_?
12973	Baptism, its Authority and Design;"From Whence Ami? 12973 But why do n''t you run away?
12973	But,says the old gentleman,"they do n''t allow convicted murderers to go about in this way, without a guard to watch them?"
12973	Can you tell me,he inquired,"where the prison is where these robbers and murderers are confined?"
12973	Did you come to make Kansas a free State?
12973	Does Pardee Butler ride a bay horse?
12973	Have you had your breakfast?
12973	Let every man look out for himself?
12973	Now,said the Judge,"was it whisky you bought of this saloonkeeper?"
12973	Oh, is that it? 12973 Wall, do n''t you know thar''s a woman thar that''s goin''to skin you?"
12973	Well, what did you come for?
12973	Well, where did you lodge?
12973	What is your name?
12973	When Jesus said,''Into thy hands I commend my spirit,''did he mean,''Into thy hands I commend my breath''? 12973 When do you do most of your thinking?"
12973	Who cares?
12973	Who''s your boss?
12973	Why did n''t you take it? 12973 Why, I look all right, do n''t I?"
12973	Why, what''s the matter? 12973 _ Are You an Abolitionist_?"
12973	_And what is your name?"
12973	After some desultory talk, they asked me:"_ Are you an abolitionist_?"
12973	Am I told that the safety of slave property requires that Abolitionists should not be heard in the slave States?
12973	An African lion hunter, when questioned,"Is it not fine sport to hunt lions?"
12973	And do not the people of freedom like it?
12973	And do not these considerations go far to explain the contrast that is everywhere seen to exist between Protestant and Catholic countries?
12973	And now, my friends, will you not demean yourselves worthy of the high place that God has given you?
12973	And now, my friends, you are laying the foundations of many generations, and will you not take heed how these foundations are laid?
12973	And what should I do?
12973	And what were the purposes of the Emigrant Aid Society that it should be such an offense to the people in Missouri?
12973	B., did the people expect me, uninvited, to pitch into a quarrel with which I have nothing whatever to do?"
12973	B., was it not a good sermon?"
12973	Be permitted to run at large among our slaves, sowing the seeds of discord and discontent, jeopardizing our lives and property?
12973	But I kept thinking of the question:"Are you an abolitionist?"
12973	But does it never mean more than this?
12973	But religious and thoughtful men looked far beyond this question of what shall we eat and what shall we drink, and wherewithal shall we be clothed?
12973	But somebody has to do this frontier and pioneer work; and might it not as well be me and my wife as any other man and his wife?
12973	But these men were impatient, and said:"We just want to know will you sign these resolutions?"
12973	But what of the spirit?
12973	But whence had he his knowledge of the mobbing at Atchison?
12973	Butcher''s rifle out of the wagon, saying,"I am going down there to see; who will go with me?"
12973	Ca n''t we submit this to the people, and who wants another?"
12973	Can you repent if you take God at his word and do as did the apostles and the primitive Christians?
12973	Did he see the folly of his course?
12973	Did they not have on their side the President and his Cabinet?
12973	From whence then came this overwhelming majority?
12973	Geary?
12973	Had I any right as a Christian and as an American citizen, when providentially called to this work, to withdraw myself from aiding in its settlement?
12973	Have they killed my husband?"
12973	Have we not made our constitution?
12973	He did so, and received a letter from Gen. Lane, asking,"How much will you pay for the place?"
12973	He said bluntly at the table:"Well, Mr. Butler, they treated you rather roughly at At- Atchison, did they not?"
12973	He took it and with something of hesitation said,"Wo n''t you come in and drink with us?"
12973	He works by_ means_:"How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?"
12973	Here they caught me by the wrists, from behind, and demanded,"Will you sign?"
12973	Here was Col. Sumner with his United States dragoons, and he was a man to obey orders; and what were we going to do about it?
12973	How did such growth in Kansas come to be?
12973	How, then, could I understand you as referring to anything else than to my own published Cincinnati utterances?
12973	I asked,''Who is that aged veteran?
12973	If I was sometimes charged with abolitionism, was not this man blacker than myself?
12973	If Protestantism seas done so much in spite of all its divisions, what will it not do if these hindrances are taken out of the way?
12973	Is it any wonder that the cause does not go forward faster?
12973	Is the moon less beautiful because the man in the moon does not wear a handsome face?
12973	Is the sun less glorious because there are spots on the sun?
12973	It is asked: What have we to do with slavery?
12973	It will be asked, What, then, do we gain who live in these river counties, and in these cities, by the passage of this prohibitory law?
12973	Jones demanded:"What''s up?"
12973	Kelley turned short on him and said:"Do you belong to Kansas?"
12973	Man has a spirit, and can man''s spirit die?
12973	Many will ask now, as they have asked already, what is the true and proper cause of all these troubles I have had in Atchison?
12973	Moreover, it forbade a farmer to manufacture_ hard_ cider from his own orchard, and would not this be a_ hard_ and tyrannical law?
12973	Mr. Kelley did not know me, and asked:"What is it?"
12973	Mr. Pomeroy came forward and shook hands with Sheriff Jones-- should not_ gentlemen_ shake hands when they meet?
12973	Needs it to be said, that to do this work well, the teachers in this school of the prophets have need to be well qualified?
12973	Now we believe that this man is an innocent man; and what will the Lord say to us if we turn him out of doors?"
12973	Now who does not see that to touch any one of these was to touch all?
12973	Now, who does not see that here is the basis of hearty co- operation, whether in the church or in the world, of men from the South or from the North?
12973	Of course we did not quarrel; why should we?
12973	One of their number bristled up to me and said,"Have you got a revolver?"
12973	One thought was ever present in my heart, how far could brethren co- operate together who had been on opposite sides?
12973	Paradise sometimes means the happy garden where Adam and Eve dwelt; but does it never mean more than that?
12973	Pardee Butler?
12973	Should a cowardly Yankee be allowed to defy them, and scoff at them, and call them"bull- dogs and blood- hounds,"with impunity?
12973	Should we fight, or should we not fight?
12973	So, granting that spirit sometimes means breath, may it not also mean more than that?
12973	Springer said,"I once heard him begin a sermon with the question,''Are we dogs, or are we men?''"
12973	The Free State men began to falter and to ask each other,"Is it not best to try the Governor, and see if he will be as good as his word?"
12973	The Sheriff had got as far as the door when the witness called out:"Judge, are you going to lock me up?"
12973	The first commanded universal attention:"Does the spirit die when the body dies?"
12973	The question, Shall slaveholders be received as church members?
12973	Then another company came in and demanded:"What''s all this fussing about?"
12973	Then the question came up, What kind of a raft shall it be?
12973	Then they had asked for a Southern Governor, for would not he be true to the South?
12973	They asked incredulously,"An''kin ye haul that thar slide up that slippery bank?"
12973	They say,"We beg leave to ask respectfully, what are the demands against us?"
12973	They therefore asked his wife:"Has your husband a rifle, musket, or fire- arms of any kind?"
12973	This I did, but my friend Mr. Snyder concluded:"This is a hard saying, who can hear it?"
12973	This broke the silence, and the men that had me in charge asked:"Did the Emigrant Aid Society send you here?"
12973	This question, however, we did often ask ourselves:"What had we done that we should be made to suffer thus?"
12973	This seemed very fair, but what did it amount to?
12973	Was it Lane coming to attack him?
12973	Was it possible that Lane was even now in the neighborhood?
12973	Was not Congress on their side?
12973	Was not Persifer F. Smith, Commandant at Fort Leavenworth, at least indifferent to all their deeds of violence?
12973	We ask, Shall a man expressing such sentiments be permitted to reside in our midst?
12973	We have come all the way from South_ Carliny_ to see a Yankee trick an''haint we got it?"
12973	We shall see how it will be?"
12973	Well may the writer ask,"Is it any wonder that the cause does not go forward faster?"
12973	Were my prospects blighted from this time forward?
12973	What could it be?
12973	What did it mean that citizens of Missouri should go over in force and vote in the Territory of Kansas?
12973	What did it mean?
12973	What did you come for?"
12973	What do you think he had found?
12973	What for?
12973	What is it we can do for you?"
12973	What shall we do?"
12973	What treasures untold reside in the Lord''s house, the Lord''s day, the Lord''s book, and the ordinances of the Lord?
12973	What was that?''
12973	What was the meaning of the Kansas- Nebraska bill?
12973	What was the_ New York Tribune_ doing, that it should raise such a tumult?
12973	What were the intentions of the Black Republicans?
12973	What would become of Kansas, or of the United States?
12973	What would become of my wife and children?
12973	What would become of myself?
12973	What would the brethren say of me?
12973	What, then, is the remedy?
12973	When a good square meal had somewhat thawed them out, I said,"Boys, what made you quit swearing last night?"
12973	When he saw father, he exclaimed, with a great oath,"------------, what you driving my cattle off for?"
12973	Who were these men that had come to Atchison county to ride rough- shod over him in his own house?
12973	Why, then, were not these bloody counsels made good by deeds?
12973	Will you not go along with us?"
12973	Wood asked:"Is Jacob Branson in this crowd?"
12973	You the terrible murderers about whom I have heard so much?"
12973	Your name is Butler, is it not?"
12973	_ This was my only offence._ What must you think of yourself, sir, in this notice you take of this transaction?
12973	and Whither Am I Going?"
12973	and what shall I drink?
12973	and wherewithal shall I be clothed?
12973	that old building, falling to pieces, without either doors or windows?"
12973	you convicted felons?
55720	''Twon''t be necessary-- wait a minute,returned Tom as he passed the old envelope to Jack and me with the query:"Do you men recognize that paper?"
55720	''Why, man,''says Bob Chambers,''where''ve you been all this time that you ai n''t got acquainted with that estimable old gentleman, Kernel Rich? 55720 Ai n''t you never learnt how to keep beans from stickin''to the bottom of the camp- kettle?"
55720	Am I to have that fine horse without paying you a dollar?
55720	An now what are we to do with him? 55720 Bill,"I asked,"do the officers at the garrison seem to think there''s any danger of the Indians going on the war- path?"
55720	But how did the buffalo, man, and horse happen to die so close together?
55720	But what will you do for a horse?
55720	But, Tom,I asked,"what are we going to do with so much venison?"
55720	But, Tom,said Jack,"how can we work our passage in a bull train when ne''er a one of us knows anything about driving bulls?"
55720	But, sergeant,I asked Tom,"what will the captain do with the jayhawkers after he takes''em in-- take''em back to Leavenworth as prisoners?"
55720	But, sergeant,I put in,"wo n''t the jayhawkers down at their camp, waiting for their chief, suspect something wrong when he do n''t show up?"
55720	But, sergeant,inquired Jack,"what will we do with this feller?
55720	By the way, how is the old chief?
55720	Ca n''t we do something to help him?
55720	Can you do it again, Bill, or was that just an accident?
55720	Changin''the subject,said Jack,"it''s about five miles from here up to Charley Rath''s ranch, at the mouth of Walnut Creek; ai n''t it, Tom?"
55720	Could they be a reinforcement of Kiowas going to join Satank''s party?
55720	Did you find out anything about them from the storekeeper?
55720	Do n''t that beat the devil?
55720	Do you mean it, Tom? 55720 Do you mean that you can tell the points of the compass by a watch?"
55720	Do you mind old Rich, the sutler at Fort Leavenworth?
55720	Do you s''pose I''ve been a- cookin''an''eatin''Uncle Sam''s beans all these years an''ai n''t learnt how to cook bean soup without burnin''it? 55720 Do you think they''ll go on the war- path, Bill?"
55720	Do you think, Adkins,I asked,"that there is any likelihood of To hausen''s band moving up this way?
55720	Have you seen any fresh signs, Tom, that make you think there''s Indians about?
55720	He say,''Maybe so you lie,''said Joe, making the sign of the forked tongue; then continued,"Any mans in casa-- house?"
55720	How about tobacco and pipes?
55720	How about whiskey?
55720	How in the world did you do it, Tom?
55720	How long do you and Adkins expect to be gone on this trip, Bill?
55720	How long''s it going to take you?
55720	How many did you get?
55720	How many do you expect to find in the morning?
55720	How many of you will go on this trip?
55720	How would''Black Prince''do?
55720	How?
55720	I noticed that you do n''t carry any picket- pin,I remarked;"how do you picket your horse out?"
55720	I wonder if I hurt him much? 55720 In a buffalo?"
55720	In what?
55720	Is supper most ready, boys?
55720	Is that so?
55720	It''s a great scheme, Tom,I added,"and it seems to me there ought to be money in it; but have we the capital?"
55720	It''s sure a fine plan,said Jack,"if we can carry it through; but how much money is it going to take?"
55720	Jack, have n''t you been a little too brash? 55720 Now tell us what to do to get ready for travelling?"
55720	Oh, come now, Tom,said Jack with an incredulous smile,"you do n''t expect us to believe such a yarn as that?"
55720	Ol''Dave asked me:''Where you find''em?'' 55720 Peck, do you believe him?"
55720	So this new quartermaster is short of greenbacks and has to pay off in vouchers, hey?
55720	That would n''t be a bad idea,I replied,"but what shall we call it?
55720	That''s a good idea; but what if the mustangs wo n''t work?
55720	Well, Tom, what are the orders for to- morrow?
55720	Well, Tom,I asked,"what are your plans for meeting this emergency if you think these fellows are going to give us trouble?"
55720	Well, but did you find out how many there are in this gang?
55720	Well, who''s going to mind camp, an''who''s going over to the fort?
55720	Well,I continued,"I suppose each one of you is studying out how he can quickest blow it in before re- enlisting?"
55720	Well,said Tom,"why not compromise and call it''Camp Coyotelope''?"
55720	What are you going to do with him, Jack?
55720	What can we do, Tom?
55720	What did I tell you?
55720	What do you mean, sir?
55720	What do you mean?
55720	What do you take me for, young fellow?
55720	What does Dave say about the Kiowas?
55720	What is your plan, Tom?
55720	What seems to be their principal grievance against the white men?
55720	What will you take for it delivered to me there in as good condition as it is now?
55720	What''s happened? 55720 What?
55720	When are you going over to Camp Coyotelope?
55720	Where do you expect to find the Kiowa trail, Bill?
55720	Where''s your company, and how many of you is they?
55720	Whoever taught you that watch trick, Tom?
55720	Why not call him''Captain Tucker,''after the jayhawker?
55720	Why, Jack,I began,"how in the world did you happen to kill a buck?
55720	Why, Tom,asked Jack innocently,"do they catch otter with fish- hooks?"
55720	Why, fellows,whined the big jayhawker,"you shorely do n''t mean to leave me in this fix all night, do you?
55720	Why, he''s a bad one, ai n''t he? 55720 Why, pardner,"exclaimed Tucker in apparent astonishment,"you do n''t mean to say you''d be so foolish as to compel us to use force?
55720	Why, what brought you back so soon?
55720	Would you do that for me, Tom?
55720	Yes, but where? 55720 Yes,"he replied,"and I have been wondering at it and was going to ask you if many of the Indians have such vehicles?"
55720	''What''s the matter, Shutts?''
55720	''You''re Tucker, the jayhawker, an''I''m Jack, the giant- killer''--an''was n''t that a big bluff?
55720	60"It must have been the work of Injuns"154"Go to Tom"250 THE WOLF HUNTERS CHAPTER I TOM''S PLAN"Well, men, what will we do?"
55720	After giving him time to study the problem out, I asked:"Well, Tom, what do you make of it?"
55720	Ai n''t there some trick about it, Bill?"
55720	And I?
55720	And how did you get your clothes wet?"
55720	And then asked, looking anxiously into my face:"You savvy?"
55720	And then suddenly stopping to listen to a rattle of firearms out toward the wagon, he exclaimed:"There, do you hear that?
55720	As he took the glass to examine it, he asked:"How much is it worth?"
55720	As soon as the interpreter had moved up to him Satank spoke a few words to Mexican Joe, who asked in broken English:"Where your pardners?
55720	As the big captain halted a few feet from us he demanded angrily:"What do you men mean by drawing your guns on us an''halting us this way?"
55720	As we entered the dugout and sat down to dinner I thought to ask:"What medicine is it that you want me to get, Tom?
55720	As we gathered around the mess- chest I inquired:"When do they expect the volunteers that are coming to relieve the regulars?"
55720	As we trotted along I asked the scout:"How many Kiowas did you and Saunders''party kill?"
55720	Before he started: Jack asked,"Tom, what are we to do with Tucker''s horse?"
55720	But how can the blind lead the blind?
55720	But what could three of us do against a gang of unknown numbers of these lawless men?
55720	But why do n''t they come here, instead of going by on the trot?"
55720	By and by the lieutenant got his horse saddled an''called back into the stable:''Are you all ready there, boys?''
55720	CHAPTER IV BACK TO THE BUFFALO RANGE As we started back up- town Bill exclaimed gleefully:"Well, boys, what do you think?
55720	Did you notice any bullet hole in his horse''s skull?"
55720	Do n''t you want to git rid of him?"
55720	Easy as rollin''off a log when it''s explained to you, ai n''t it?"
55720	Had I been dreaming?
55720	Had n''t we better take them fore wheels off and throw them into the river overnight?"
55720	Hang him in the mornin''?"
55720	Has he been any account to you?"
55720	Has the old rascal been here?
55720	Have either of you seen any signs of such a layout in your rambles up or down the creek?"
55720	Have you any objections to that?"
55720	Have you anything to eat?"
55720	He pulled up, sudden like, with a jerk, an''asked:''What''s up?
55720	How about old To hausen, Bill; is he still camped at the same place?"
55720	How are we going to stow''em away to take care of''em till spring?"
55720	How do you account for these misfit names, Jack?"
55720	How do you do it, Bill?"
55720	How do you read it?"
55720	How far off from the man''s bones was the bones of the Injun ponies that you found?"
55720	How is it with Jack?"
55720	How many skins are you going to get this haul?"
55720	How would it do to call our place''Camp Antelope''?"
55720	I asked:"What do you think of the outfit, Tom?"
55720	I exclaimed as I reined up and dismounted,"how in the world did you live through the fire?
55720	I kept asking myself:"What can I do to help them?"
55720	If he had a camp he''s had a pardner or two, an''what must have become of them?
55720	In reply to his question,"What do you say?"
55720	Is he any good?"
55720	Is it a whack, Cap?"
55720	Is that so, boys?"
55720	It was near the ranch, when Peacock had it, that Pawnee, the Kiowa chief, was killed by Lieutenant Bayard; was n''t it?"
55720	Noticing To hausen''s dilapidated old ambulance standing near his lodge, I said:"Captain, do you see that old government ambulance?"
55720	Now, do you men''savvy''all them instructions?"
55720	Now, what do you say to that?"
55720	Now, what do you say to that?"
55720	One of them called out to Tucker as though soliciting an order to charge on us:"_ Cap, do n''t you want us up there to settle that matter?
55720	Other mans?
55720	Our tent was fast becoming filled with bales of wolfskins, and one day I asked:"Tom, what are we going to do for some place to store our wolfskins?
55720	Savvy?
55720	Savvy?"
55720	See the big smoke over the tree tops?
55720	Seeing old Tom examining the wheels, I asked:"Well, Tom, what are we going to do about it?
55720	Seen any fresh signs about?"
55720	That is a pretty useful thing in travelling across the prairie, where there is no road or trail to follow?"
55720	The captain opened the door and stepped out, when we all three saluted, and as he returned it he asked:"Well, men, what''s wanting?"
55720	Then he added pleadingly:"But, sergeant, is they no way we could fix it so that me an''Peck could go with you on this round- up?
55720	Turning to us, he called out in a tone of indignant surprise:"What do you mean?"
55720	We''ve named the mules-- or Wild Bill did--''Dink''an''''Judy''an''the broncos''Polly''an''''Vinegar''; now, what''ll we call the horse?"
55720	Well, what''ll we do with these things?"
55720	What are your plans for getting these men there?
55720	What do you expect to do with yourself?"
55720	What do you say to it?"
55720	What do you say to the job?"
55720	What do you say, Peck?"
55720	What do you think of it?"
55720	What if Jack''s rashness should bring this gang of desperadoes down on us?
55720	What were we to do for bedding for the soldiers who had come away from the garrison in a hurry without any thought of being out overnight?
55720	What will you give me for the whole lot?"
55720	What''s up?''
55720	When the examination was completed Bill asked:"What do you think of the outfit, Tom, and what will you give me for the whole caboodle?"
55720	When?"
55720	Where do you think we''d better locate our winter camp, Tom?"
55720	Where wagon?"
55720	Where''s Vinegar?"
55720	Who comes there?"
55720	Who do you take me fur and who are you, anyway?''
55720	Why did n''t you kill him?"
55720	Why?"
55720	Will Adkins come, too?"
55720	Will you please tell us what yours is?"
55720	Wonder what''s up?"
55720	Would your men consider such a bid as that?"
55720	You savvy the philosophy of it?"
55720	an''then move out''by fours,''how do you suppose he did it?
55720	asked Jack,"an''the dead oodles of money he rakes in all the time?
55720	what''s this?"
29129	''Hog- and- hominy,''how would that suit?
29129	And did they really trust you three boys for your passage- money? 29129 And did you shoot him all by your very own self?
29129	And do they always pay?
29129	And side- meat?
29129	And what Indians are there who use this trail now?
29129	And what''s them thar cattle follering on behind?
29129	And you are going back to Illinois? 29129 Are you a free- State man?"
29129	Baggage, sah?
29129	Baggage?
29129	Blanket Indians?
29129	Border Ruffians?
29129	Busted? 29129 But suppose the money should n''t turn up?"
29129	But the Smoky Hill is twenty- five or thirty miles from here,said Mr. Bryant;"why should they strike across the plains between here and there?"
29129	But what have the troops from Fort Riley to do with it? 29129 But you do n''t often trust anybody with cards coming down the river, do you?"
29129	Car''yer baggage aboard, boss?
29129	Car''yer baggage aboard, boss?
29129	Cash down?
29129	Changing legs?
29129	Clay- eaters?
29129	Could n''t we catch some of those leeches and sell them to the doctors?
29129	D''ye s''pose they break those up every day?
29129	Did ever anybody see such luck?
29129	Did n''t I hear you playing a violin in your room last night? 29129 Did n''t you ever see an Injun trail before?"
29129	Did war parties ever go out on this trail, do you suppose?
29129	Distressed gentlemen, do n''t you see?
29129	Do n''t you suppose your father could give it to him, Charlie? 29129 Do you call that dropping corn?
29129	Do you suppose, father, that they have from Washington any such instructions to discriminate against us?
29129	Do you think you could fight, if the worst comes to the worst, Sandy, boy?
29129	Eh? 29129 Have you seen a ghost?"
29129	How can you laugh at such a shameful sight, Aleck Howell? 29129 How do you suppose Uncle Oscar knew I was an Abolitionist?"
29129	How far down did you go?
29129	How many acres are there in a quarter- section of land?
29129	How many grains of corn to a hole, Uncle Aleck? 29129 How many men are there at the post?"
29129	I asked Younkins if he ever had any trouble with a buffalo when he was hunting, and what do you suppose he said?
29129	I wonder if the other fellows can see them as I do?
29129	If that''s the case,said the easy- going Younkins,"what''s the use of going home?
29129	If you like Mr. John G. Whittier''s poetry, why did you say he was n''t any good?
29129	Is it really music?
29129	Is n''t Charlie too awfully knowing for anything, Oscar?
29129	Just think of an Indian girl-- a squaw-- wearing hoops, will you?
29129	Lapwing?
29129	Leg- weary work, is n''t it, Sandy?
29129	Love''s Last Greeting,and"How Can I Leave Thee?"
29129	Lugged it aboard ourselves? 29129 Manhattan?"
29129	No neighbor nearer than Hunter''s Creek, did you say? 29129 No settlers anywhere?"
29129	Not so solemn, my laddie? 29129 Oh, you will all go, will you?"
29129	Only do n''t you think that''s a very long name to say in a hurry? 29129 People have to pay fees, do n''t they, Uncle Charlie?"
29129	Quindaro?
29129	Ride up? 29129 Saw off?"
29129	See here, Sandy,said his uncle,"how would you like to go to Kansas with your father, Oscar, Charlie, and myself?"
29129	Side- meat?
29129	Skip out of the place?
29129	So that is a dibble, is it?
29129	Stay?
29129	Stolen the money?
29129	That would n''t be a free country, would it, with one man owning another man? 29129 Then what made you talk like that, just now?"
29129	Things do not look very encouraging for a winter in Kansas, bleeding or not bleeding; do they, Charlie?
29129	Timber? 29129 Timber?"
29129	To Kansas? 29129 We do n''t cross the prairies as of old our fathers crossed the sea, any more, do we, Charlie?"
29129	We''ll chance it, wo n''t we, Aleck?
29129	Well, what is a quarter- section, as you are so knowing?
29129	What are these clumsy rings for?
29129	What are you going to do now? 29129 What did he do?"
29129	What if they have gone down to our cabin?
29129	What in the world are you two boys up to now?
29129	What in the world took you so far off your track as Fuller''s? 29129 What is all this about stakes and quarter- sections, anyway, father?"
29129	What is it?
29129	What is there west of this?
29129	What makes you in such a hurry? 29129 What then?"
29129	What will mother say to this-- if she ever gets here?
29129	What would you have, Sandy?
29129	What''s a dibble?
29129	What''s a lapwing?
29129	What''s that by the cabin- door?
29129	What''s that on your leg?
29129	What''s the great joke?
29129	What''s to be done now?
29129	What''s up?
29129	What, for goodness''sake, is that?
29129	What?
29129	What?--free, gratis, and for nothing?
29129	Where is that place? 29129 Where''s that?"
29129	Which way are you bound?
29129	Who is it? 29129 Who is this that rides so fast?"
29129	Who will go down to the post and get them?
29129	Who''s afraid?
29129	Who''s shot another buffalo?
29129	Why ca n''t we have some hens this fall, daddy?
29129	Why do n''t yer go aboard, boys? 29129 Why not call it the John G. Whittier cabin?"
29129	Why should they buy when they can get land for nothing by entering and taking possession, just as we are going to do?
29129	Why, did you notice, father,he continued,"that he actually had on high- heeled boots?
29129	Why, how could we exchange legs?
29129	Why, is there any notion of going back? 29129 Why, what on earth do you mean?"
29129	Will they come to- night, do you think?
29129	Yes, how many acres in a quarter of a section?
29129	You are a musician, are you not?
29129	Afraid of work?
29129	Afraid of work?
29129	And Uncle Aleck?
29129	And all these people that we are going to be passengers with for the next four or five days watching us while we did a roustabout''s work?
29129	And away from home?
29129	And take us?
29129	And, seeing that this is our first day out of camp on the last stage of our journey, suppose we stop for dinner at Indian John''s, Aleck?
29129	Back from''bleeding Kansas''?
29129	Besides, I do n''t believe he has any right to vote here; do you?"
29129	But it ca n''t be possible that they actually eat clay?"
29129	But what does Amanda say?"
29129	But what was this so hot in the mouth?
29129	But, then,"he added, doubtfully,"it is n''t everybody that would know which Whittier was meant by that, would they?"
29129	Ca n''t you give us something lively?
29129	Ca n''t you nail these down, daddy?"
29129	Charlie''s gun?"
29129	Could it be possible that anybody could raise melons so thickly together as Mr. Younkins had said he had seen them?
29129	Could they divide and settle this far apart for the sake of getting a timber lot?
29129	Dear me, why ca n''t the Missourians keep out of here and let us alone?"
29129	Did anybody ever see the like?"
29129	Did you come direct from Parkville?"
29129	Did you never hear of splitting rails?
29129	Did you notice how all those big fellows at dinner sat down with us and the stage passengers, and the poor women had to wait on everybody?
29129	Did you, Oscar?
29129	Do n''t you know that this is a solemn age we are in, and a very solemn business we are on?
29129	Do n''t you think so?"
29129	Do you hear me?"
29129	Do you really suppose that he will go?
29129	Do you suppose your uncle would take me along if Dad would let me go?
29129	Do you, Oscar?"
29129	Eh?"
29129	Ginger?
29129	Had he ever heard of such a thing?
29129	Had the boys ever killed any buffalo?
29129	Have you that beautiful hymn?
29129	Hear him?"
29129	Hey, Charlie?"
29129	How could they have left the trail without his sooner noticing it?
29129	How did that happen?"
29129	How do you suppose we are going to live if we have nothing to eat but wild game that we kill, and breadstuffs and vegetables that we buy?"
29129	How far off is that?"
29129	How is it with you, Aleck?"
29129	How is that for a tall story?"
29129	How much do you need?"
29129	How much does it cost in fees to enter a piece of Government land?"
29129	Hunter''s Creek?
29129	I think I heard your brother call you Sandy?
29129	I wonder what mother would think to see us at it?"
29129	If Indians could do that, why could not white men?
29129	Is n''t that so?"
29129	Is that all right?"
29129	It seems too good to have happened to us; does n''t it, Oscar?"
29129	Louis?"
29129	Louis?"
29129	Never you fear''the Dixon boys who fear no noise''--what''s the rest of that song?"
29129	Nothing worth saving?"
29129	Now, then, how much land should there be in a quarter- section?"
29129	Oh, would n''t that be too everlastingly bully for anything?"
29129	Or was it one of your brothers?"
29129	Oscar burst into a laugh, and said,"Wish you were an Indian!--so you could go hunting when you like, and not have any work to do?
29129	Ruined, daddy?
29129	Sandy had heard the shots?
29129	Say, I never do grumble, do I, Oscar?"
29129	See it bob up and down?"
29129	See?
29129	See?
29129	See?"
29129	Side- meat?
29129	So he said to his father, when the Ohio man had passed on:"If they settle on Solomon''s Fork, wo n''t they be neighbors of ours, daddy?"
29129	Something not quite so solemn?"
29129	Suppose we get away by to- morrow morning?"
29129	Suppose we take it up and put it somewhere else, out of harm''s way?"
29129	Suppose you try changing legs?"
29129	Tears?
29129	That''s the reason why they say he is sparring his way, is n''t it?"
29129	The boys looked at him with amazement, and Sandy said,--"Why, daddy, it''s the loss of a whole summer; is n''t it?
29129	The handsome clerk looked approvingly at the boy, and said:"Found your friends?
29129	The lively young darky came up again with,"Car''yer baggage aboard, boss?"
29129	The minister''s eyes sparkled, and he replied,"What?
29129	This is your brother, is it not?"
29129	To Kansas?
29129	We are Kansas Emigrants, are n''t we?"
29129	We ca n''t get along without it, and that is a fact; hey, Charlie?"
29129	We expect to raise something to eat, do n''t we?"
29129	What are we going to live on this whole winter that''s coming, now that we have no corn to sell?"
29129	What d''ye say?
29129	What does Younkins say?"
29129	What had become of the sheep?
29129	What is the use of borrowing trouble about that?"
29129	What should they do?
29129	What use was that confounded old quarter, anyhow?
29129	What was to be done?
29129	What will you do, you cheeky boy, if they ask us for our board in advance?
29129	What with?
29129	What would happen if that great mob should suddenly take a notion to gallop furiously in their direction?
29129	What would mother say if she knew I was lost out here on Flyaway Creek?"
29129	What would mother say if she knew it?
29129	What''s happened to stir you up so?"
29129	What''s to prevent a band of Indians raiding through the whole place?
29129	When the ploughmen met them, on the next turn of the team, Uncle Aleck said,"Did you catch the lapwing, you silly boy?
29129	Where be you from?"
29129	Where''s that, father-- do you know?
29129	Which way were the Dixon boys going?
29129	Who is it?"
29129	Who should be the lucky one to take that delightful horseback ride down to the post, as Fort Riley was called, and get a glimpse of civilization?
29129	Who would be willing to be left behind in a chase so exciting as this?
29129	Who would dare to ask such a great favor?
29129	Who''s afraid?"
29129	Will our three yoke of cattle do it?"
29129	Will you go too?"
29129	Will you return to Kansas in the spring?"
29129	Would he kill them, if he had the weapon to kill with?
29129	Would n''t Charlie be of age before the time came to take out a patent for the land?
29129	Would n''t it?"
29129	You ought to be ashamed of yourself to be so-- what is it, Charlie?
29129	Younkins?"
29129	and how many bushels to the acre?"
29129	are n''t they fine?"
29129	are you crazy?"
29129	broke in Sandy;"why will you always look on the dark side of things?
29129	shooting buffaloes, deer, Indians, and all that?
29129	what''s that?"
26992	A circular? 26992 After me?
26992	Ai n''t you goin''t''th''funeral?
26992	Alone?
26992	And you expect me to take a school that''s all upside down from that kind of handling-- and me without any experience?
26992	Anything more than usual?
26992	Are n''t you well, Hugh?
26992	Are you going to look for a girl to- day?
26992	Are you ready to dress?
26992	Are you sure you are not hurt at all?
26992	But how does it happen that the school is without a teacher?
26992	But why not?
26992	But, ma, are you crazy? 26992 But, ma, if a man loved a woman could n''t she get him to leave her free?
26992	Ca n''t I come, Uncle Nate? 26992 Call myself John?"
26992	Can I make them see it-- and see how?
26992	Can I put my trunk away?
26992	Can you hold his head,Luther shouted in her ear,"while I get him out of the harness?"
26992	Could n''t you stay?
26992	Could you get me a bite to eat?
26992	Dead?
26992	Did Lizzie''s baby make you feel that way too?
26992	Did it ever occur to you that you were a lucky dog to come into this country and run off with the nicest girl in it the first year you were here?
26992	Did n''t he ask you what colour to put on it?
26992	Did you ask Luther to the wedding?
26992	Did you ever have a little girl?
26992	Did you know Sadie was sick? 26992 Did you know that Hugh left a will?"
26992	Did you see Morgan to- day?
26992	Did your baby make you feel that way?
26992	Do it for? 26992 Do n''t you know me, Sue?
26992	Do they get along well together-- Hunter and his wife?
26992	Do you have to go, Hepsie?
26992	Do you know where those blank deeds are? 26992 Do you like to read?"
26992	Do you think they''ll give her the school?
26992	Dress? 26992 Ever see anything like''er?"
26992	From Hunter''s, you say?
26992	Funeral?
26992	Gittin''warm there, Elizabeth?
26992	Glad?
26992	Had n''t I better get down and scrub it for you with the brush?
26992	Has Jake left for good?
26992	Have you family ties?
26992	Have you met them yet?
26992	Honestly, Lizzie, why do n''t you bring him over?
26992	Hornby? 26992 How are you, partner?"
26992	How could you do it?
26992	How could you expect an old fellow like him to care for babies?
26992	How do you do, Uncle Nate?
26992	How do you know where our cobhouse is now, Lizzie? 26992 How is he?"
26992	How is she? 26992 How long is that child going to stay at Hornby''s?"
26992	How long?
26992	How old did you say the Ransom boy was?
26992	How''s that?
26992	However could you know that I was wanting you so bad to- day?
26992	I wonder if I''ve brought you out here t''get you wet?
26992	I wonder if they read in heaven?
26992	I''ve come to help-- where shall I begin?
26992	If that woman could make something that''d do, what''d she ask for one of them expensive coats for?
26992	If that''s so, why did n''t you come t''see''er?
26992	If that''s true, why do n''t you come t''see us as you ought t'', Lizzie?
26992	If you loved''er, why''d you let''er go down to''er grave a pinin''for you? 26992 If you''re sure of that, why do n''t you leave him?
26992	Into town? 26992 Is Mrs. Hunter getting down on our hands too?
26992	Is it goin''t''be painted? 26992 Is it going to rain?"
26992	Is it really you, Luther?
26992	Is it snow?
26992	Is it so, that Mr. Hunter wo n''t take you?
26992	Is it true that Hunter wo n''t take you anywhere?
26992	Is n''t he a fine, big fellow?
26992	Is n''t he cunnin''? 26992 Is n''t it like me to think you knew all about that?
26992	Is th''house done?
26992	Is that something I''m not to talk about, Lizzie?
26992	Is that th''damned fool kind of coat she was talkin''about?
26992	Is that why you insisted that I bring the baby? 26992 Is your name Jake or Jacob?"
26992	Is-- is it possible you all did n''t know Mrs. Hornby was sick?
26992	Lizzie, Bess, Elizabeth, or Sis?
26992	Lizzie, how do you feel about it? 26992 Lizzie, what''s this I hear about Hunter?"
26992	Lizzie, you could n''t tell Hunter, could you?
26992	Lizzie,asked Luther gently,"would you like to talk to me about it?"
26992	Luther, could you get Hepsie back for me, if you told her Mother Hunter was gone and would not come back?
26992	Luther, will he die?
26992	Married?
26992	Maybe you''uns do n''t drink coffee?
26992	Me? 26992 No one but Aunt Susan has ever wanted to do anything for me,"she said, and opening her arms held them out to him, crying,"Am I to be happy?
26992	Now ai n''t that jes''like me?
26992	Now look here, Lizzie, you''re goin''t''let him come?
26992	Now may I ask that what we have said be kept quiet? 26992 Now that you''re goin''away you''d like t''be on good terms with me, would you?
26992	Now, and what have you done?
26992	Of course he loves her; how could he help it? 26992 Oh, I kin do''rithmetic all right, but I ai n''t no good in nothin''else-- an''--an''--wouldn''t I look fine teachin''school?"
26992	Out of here?
26992	Sadie Crane?
26992	Shellers? 26992 Shellers?"
26992	Smells pretty good in here,he said, and then surveying the room in surprise added,"What on earth be you churnin''for?
26992	So you are the''Jake''I have heard about?
26992	So you got a man, did you?
26992	That you, Carter?
26992	Then ca n''t I be taken into town?
26992	Then why did n''t you go into the law? 26992 There, Mr. Chamberlain, was there ever another like him?"
26992	They ca n''t?
26992	Thinking about me?
26992	To Topeka?
26992	Was it too heavy?
26992	Was-- was my papa here then?
26992	Well, just tell him that ma sends the invitation, will you?
26992	Well, pa, how do you do?
26992	Well, what''s wrong?
26992	Well?
26992	Were your wife and Mrs. Hornby great friends?
26992	What about the land, Doctor?
26992	What are you taking me in with you for, John?
26992	What are you working on now?
26992	What became of the horses that day-- the ones on the binder? 26992 What did you say?"
26992	What do you mean by that?
26992	What do you think of them?
26992	What does it matter_ who_ is wrong in anything? 26992 What does possess you when you''re cross?"
26992	What have you done to him now?
26992	What in Sam Hill''s the difference how he views it?
26992	What is a man to do? 26992 What is it, John?
26992	What is it, John?
26992	What is it, mamma? 26992 What is it?"
26992	What is it?
26992	What must he have thought I meant? 26992 What university?"
26992	What was it you said?
26992	What was the row with you about, anyway?
26992	What will I do without you?
26992	What''d I say that Mrs. Hornby did n''t like?
26992	What''d you fall out with him for? 26992 What''d you say?"
26992	What''ll you do if all them eggs hatch out an''eat th''crops in th''spring?
26992	What''ll you do with all that bunch of cattle, anyhow?
26992	What''ll you do? 26992 What''s gone wrong with the school here?
26992	What''s he been comin''here so steady for?
26992	When did you lose the baby?
26992	When do you intend to let me get out of here, Doctor?
26992	When may I come to see you again?
26992	When''s it goin''t''be?
26992	Where are you going with a horse?
26992	Where on earth are you going?
26992	Where were you last night?
26992	Where you been?
26992	Where''s that baby?
26992	Who are they? 26992 Who put that home over your head?"
26992	Who''s dead?
26992	Who''s this plate for?
26992	Who?
26992	Why ca n''t folks belong to themselves?
26992	Why ca n''t you trim it when you see it runnin''up that way?
26992	Why did n''t you finish?
26992	Why do n''t she come t''see you then?
26992	Why do n''t you come to see me, Elizabeth?
26992	Why do n''t you do it?
26992	Why do n''t you let Hepsie finish them alone?
26992	Why do n''t you take them in and shut them up?
26992	Why in this world did you keep her so late? 26992 Why not?"
26992	Why not?
26992	Why of course-- why not? 26992 Why, oh, why do n''t you hurry?"
26992	Why-- what''s happened to me?
26992	Will it make any difference with my baby?
26992	Will she think-- John''s mother-- that we''re coarse and common?
26992	Will you ask Hansen to come over in the morning, then?
26992	Will you be going home by Hansen''s to- night, Doctor?
26992	Will you do the same?
26992	With that child?
26992	Wo n''t we have any corn at all?
26992	Wonder if Old Queen''s loose?
26992	Wonder what I done t''set that child t''lookin''at me so funny?
26992	Wonder what I done that set that youngster t''lookin''at me so funny?
26992	Yes, I know-- only it seems as if----"Well, now what''s lacking?
26992	You ai n''t goin''t''lay down rules t''him?
26992	You ai n''t gone an''tucked him into bed this time o''night, have you? 26992 You all do n''t believe in luck, do you?"
26992	You are n''t going to give us men all a knock, are you?
26992	You could n''t drive Patsie over for him this evening, could you?
26992	You did n''t bed them horses down did you?
26992	You did? 26992 You do n''t mean it?
26992	You do n''t mean that You''ll have to have them at your table day after day-- always?
26992	You do n''t mean that you are going to school again now that you are going to get married?
26992	You do n''t say?
26992	You do n''t tell me you did n''t know?
26992	You wo n''t be mad at me, Lizzie? 26992 You''re goin''too, then, Farnshaw?"
26992	You''ve bought them, you say?
26992	Your heart''s been pounding like that for seven years, you say?
26992	*****"Will you go over to-- to Mrs. Hornby''s with us to- day?"
26992	Ai n''t it awful?"
26992	Ai n''t you got enough t''do, child?"
26992	And when Elizabeth did not reply, said with his eyes fastened on Jack''s half- asleep face:"I wonder how Janie is?"
26992	And you are the Elizabeth these folk have been talkin''about?
26992	Are we going to have shellers?"
26992	Are you hurt?"
26992	Are you in a hurry?
26992	Are you preparing for the high school?"
26992	Are you really going away?"
26992	As Elizabeth turned to her hostess, the old man exclaimed,"Why, Gosh all Friday, what''s happened to your horse?"
26992	As to what he''s like-- it ai n''t easy t''tell what John''s like; he''s-- he''s a university feller; most folks say he''s a dude, but we like him?"
26992	Be you a duck t''be out on such a day as this?"
26992	But are you sure about Hugh?"
26992	But what could be keeping him so long when it was time to go?
26992	CHAPTER XXVI"WAS-- WAS MY PAPA HERE THEN?"
26992	Ca n''t you come soon?"
26992	Ca n''t you have a talk with him-- and get him to let you alone if you are willing to do the very best you can?
26992	Ca n''t you see that I''m happier than you are?"
26992	Can I ever repay what you''ve done for me?"
26992	Can you be ready by October?"
26992	Cheer him up,''and what am I to do?"
26992	Could it be that Elizabeth had been carried completely away by the storm, or was she buried in the hay somewhere?
26992	Could mortal man fail to appreciate the manner of the surrender?
26992	Could nature and fate ask for more?
26992	Could she attain to it?
26992	Could she help?
26992	Did n''t you see the look on her face?"
26992	Did you borrow this money in the firm''s name?"
26992	Did you ever hear of such a crazy thing as all them hoppers comin''down like bees?
26992	Did you ever see th''likes of them hogs?
26992	Did you go?"
26992	Did you say Silas wanted us to cut his too?"
26992	Do n''t you know your old Nate at all?"
26992	Do n''t you think so?"
26992	Do you suppose It''ll lay her up?
26992	Do you think he''s worse, Doctor?"
26992	Do you think my saying it made any difference?"
26992	Do you understand that?"
26992	Do you want to help milk?
26992	Do you-- would you like t''have''i m back?
26992	Doctor Morgan had known it all and still trusted her; likewise Luther; but Hepsie, and Jake, and Sadie?
26992	Does she come from some town near here?"
26992	Elizabeth asked, and then added,"What will he do for a room if I take this one?"
26992	Elizabeth looked through the book in her hand slowly before she asked:"Why do n''t you?
26992	Farnshaw?"
26992	From what principle was she dealing with it?
26992	Funny, ai n''t it?
26992	Give that woman some money of her own, Noland, and where''d she be?
26992	Goin''t''stay with th''Chamberlains long?"
26992	Had Chicago business men tried the methods on him that he had thought it fair to apply to his dealings with her?
26992	Had she known before Hugh''s death?
26992	Had the storm picked them up as it had done Elizabeth and carried them out of the wreckage?
26992	Have I made it clear to you?"
26992	Have you been reading to him lately?
26992	Have you chicken enough left or shall I bring up a ham?"
26992	Have you tried it?"
26992	He stirred the fire briskly, and remarked to Nathan:"Ai n''t that a dandy bunch of calves?
26992	He told me to harness Patsie, but she''s so lame I know she ca n''t work-- what will I do?"
26992	Honest now, why do n''t you do as a neighbour should?"
26992	Honest, now, do n''t you see yourself that if you''ve had things give t''you that th''rest ai n''t had that you owe somethin''t''th''rest of us?"
26992	Hornby?"
26992	How are you off for meat?
26992	How could I live without you?"
26992	How did it happen?"
26992	How did you buy them?
26992	How did you come to be out-- and without mittens too?"
26992	How did you happen to let it get so dull and rusty?"
26992	How do you happen to be taking the curtains down at this time of the week?"
26992	How many cows would you like for your peaceable intentions?
26992	How much did you say you owed now?"
26992	Hunter?"
26992	Hunter?"
26992	Hunter?"
26992	I got along pretty well at first-- I guess it was somethin''new--?
26992	I had a chance to get them at that Irishman''s sale-- I forget his name-- oh, yes, Tim-- Tim-- you know?
26992	I suppose there''ll be every kind of gossip?"
26992	I think it''s pretty, do n''t you?"
26992	I used t''think you''d have a lot t''learn after you was married, but you seem t''''a''learned it short off-- eh, John?"
26992	I want t''know why?"
26992	I wonder how he come t''be takin''''is man along t''town with''i m?
26992	I wonder how she learns everything?
26992	I wonder if he''s going for the doctor?"
26992	I wonder when they will be able to get back?"
26992	I''m going to be married to the man I love-- and I''m going to live right near you-- and-- what is the matter with us, anyway?"
26992	I-- I could n''t come to see her-- but, oh, Uncle Nate, may n''t I come to see you?
26992	I-- I do n''t know what went wrong, but-- but"--she laughed desperately--"where have our good times gone to?
26992	If I want to buy a load of hay or a boar pig, am I to say to a man,''Wait till I ask my wife if I can?''"
26992	If the interest was hard to meet now, what would it be three years hence?
26992	If you loved''er, what''d you act that way for?"
26992	Is n''t he?"
26992	Is n''t it a heavy snow for this late in the season?"
26992	Is n''t it sweet?"
26992	Is there still hope?
26992	It''s all right, is it?"
26992	Jake''s gone for th''doctor, you say?
26992	Just what do you mean by''out of here?''"
26992	Liza Ann had gone to the other room, and finding the way clear he asked in a half whisper:"Did you lame your horse badly?"
26992	Lots of folks''ll ask me questions, an''wo n''t I be innocent?
26992	Luther relaxed and lay looking at her for some time before he asked:"How did I get here, Lizzie?"
26992	Minister?
26992	Mrs. Farnshaw, called to the door by the barking of the dogs, exclaimed:"What in this world brings you home at this time of day?"
26992	Noland?"
26992	Now do n''t that beat you?
26992	Now if John Hunter gets his eyes on''er there''ll be an end of ma''s board money; an''then how''ll I finish payin''fur that sewin''machine?"
26992	Now look here, you''ve got a splendid place to stay; why ca n''t you be sensible and lay here and get well?
26992	Now?
26992	Oh, why do I have to be mixed up with things I ca n''t help-- and-- and have him cross, and everything?"
26992	Sadie Hansen met Elizabeth at the door with such evident uneasiness that Elizabeth was moved to ask:"Luther''s all right, Sadie?"
26992	Say, do n''t you love''i m any more, Lizzie?"
26992	Say, will you tell Elizabeth about the horse?
26992	Say, you do n''t know what he wants of Hansen do you?"
26992	Shall I save you the pig''s tail?"
26992	She earnestly desired John''s presence, and yet-- could it be done?
26992	She never told me she was glad she lost it, but how in God''s name could she be otherwise?
26992	She told a lot of things that showed it''s true, about folks we know?
26992	She was going away to be happy: why not do this thing her mother asked before she went?
26992	Should she explain the case fully?
26992	Silas introduced them promptly and added with a grin:"You''ve heard of folks that did n''t know enough t''come in out of th''rain?
26992	Started an hour an''a half ago?
26992	Sue Hornby put''er hand on my arm an''said, so kind like,''Sadie, ai n''t you''fraid t''talk that way an''you in that fix?''
26992	Suspicion crawled through his brain, leaving her slimy trail; why had there been need of secrecy?
26992	Tell''i m I said so, will you?"
26992	Th''worst of it was that I''d told''i m how-- what a difference it made, and he was that anxious----?"
26992	The boy looked surprised and asked with some curiosity,"What do you want to go for?
26992	The storm of protest was expected, and when Mrs. Farnshaw broke out with:"Now, pa, you ai n''t never goin''t''mortgage th''farm, are you?"
26992	The thing she must do she knew was right; could she make the manner of the doing of it right also?
26992	The wagon was in painful evidence, but Elizabeth?
26992	To fill out the term?"
26992	To how large a degree did these warnings apply to all?
26992	Was he the old John, who would fly out impulsively and cover them all with disgrace if she told him?
26992	Was it orderly now that its guardian angel was gone?
26992	Was it right to permit a child to come when joy had gone out of relations between its parents?
26992	Was it the weariness of the struggle to live, or was it sex, or was it the evil domination of men?
26992	Was it worth the price?
26992	We go along day after day hating our work, scolding and fretting at each other, and never really happy, any of us, and I''ve been wondering why?"
26992	What am I to do?"
26992	What business had that woman studying him or his moods?
26992	What could the girl do?
26992	What did I do it for?
26992	What did you do it for?"
26992	What do you expect me to do?
26992	What do you know about a man''s business?"
26992	What do you think?"
26992	What do you want of that Swede?"
26992	What had she done?
26992	What has become of you?"
26992	What has happened?"
26992	What have I done to offend you?"
26992	What have you been doing of late?"
26992	What have you done?"
26992	What hurts?"
26992	What made you let it get s''ripe for?
26992	What must he think of me as a woman?
26992	What should she do?
26992	What th''devil''s a man to do?"
26992	What time shall I come back for you?"
26992	What was happening?
26992	What was he embarrassed about?
26992	What was she to do?
26992	What was to be done?
26992	What was to be her fate?
26992	What was your idea, anyhow?"
26992	What would become of them if the interest were not paid?
26992	What''d y''you do with th''coat you had?"
26992	What''d you do with th''horses?"
26992	What''ll you do with all your stock?"
26992	What''ll you take for it?"
26992	What''s become of th''buggy, Hunter?"
26992	What''s happened to the hogs?"
26992	What''s on his nerves, anyhow?"
26992	What''s th''price of your friendship, anyhow?
26992	What''s that?"
26992	What_ could_ she do?
26992	When did John go to see the men about it?
26992	When for sheer want of breath Elizabeth stopped and looked at Hugh Noland inquiringly, he asked eagerly:"Could we?"
26992	When his mother did not answer, he crept closer and, laying his head against her arm, said wistfully:"Mamma, will my papa ever come back to us?"
26992	When was you called-- an hour an''a half ago?
26992	When will I be well enough to go to Mitchell County?"
26992	Where in the world did you come from?"
26992	Where was Elizabeth?
26992	Who is it?"
26992	Who''s got it?"
26992	Why be unpleasant about it?
26992	Why could he not have stopped on the way to town as well as now on the way home?
26992	Why do n''t you ever take Mrs. Hunter and th''baby and go t''meetin''?"
26992	Why do n''t you invest in land and have your own home right from the start?
26992	Why do n''t you say preacher, like the rest of your folks?
26992	Why do n''t you strike out on a new tack and say you wo n''t do it when he makes unreasonable demands?
26992	Why had all these people been told, and he, John Hunter alone, left out?
26992	Why must people have money?
26992	Why must she have this undesired child?
26992	Why not ask her own family, the Chamberlains, Aunt Susan''s, and Luther Hansen''s to a Thanksgiving dinner?
26992	Why should John explain his plans to her?
26992	Why was she vexed with such unheard of temptations?
26992	Why wo n''t you let me help you?
26992	Why, indeed?
26992	Why-- what?
26992	Why?"
26992	Will it be white and have green shutters?"
26992	Will it have to be appraised and sold?"
26992	Will we ever be like they are?"
26992	Will you go along mother, or will you stay at home after climbing these drifts all day?
26992	Will you let me?
26992	Wo n''t you be friends with me?"
26992	Worse yet, what must he think of me as a wife?"
26992	Would you''a''come if you''d''a''known, Lizzie?"
26992	You could n''t git Hornby, could you?"
26992	You do n''t know of a place where a man could work for his board for a month till the spring seeding and things come on do you?"
26992	You get her the school; but how does she come to have that air away out here?
26992	You nursed him immediately on getting home?"
26992	You told me-- you told me that-- oh dear, what''s the use to tell you what you said?"
26992	You wo n''t mind making the change, will you?"
26992	You would n''t have me leave grandma to do all the work alone, would you?"
26992	You''re not letting him run you into debt, are you?"
26992	_ I won!_ Last Saturday I sold all I had, and now while I can come to you right, I want to ask if you will take me?
26992	and yet----""And yet, what?"
26992	do you love me, really?"
26992	do you realize what you are doing?
26992	how can I do right if you take it this way?"
26992	secondly, why had Luther Hansen been told?
26992	she exclaimed in new distress,"wo n''t I ever see you again?"
26992	she replied, backing her horse around so that the rain would come from behind,"Tell me, does the school board meet to- night?"
26992	the farmer replied,"that''s th''way th''wind blows, is it?
26992	thirdly, why had Elizabeth declined just now to discuss it with him after knowing about it for some time?
26992	what did you bring it up for to- day?
26992	wo n''t it make th''Cranes jealous?"
30629	A party? 30629 Alice,"said Marian, caressing some of the dainty lingerie,"who is going to iron all these puffs and ruffles?
30629	And do n''t you think you deserve to be laughed at, for doing anything so foolish?
30629	And if she does n''t?
30629	And now?
30629	And that wooden building over yonder?
30629	And the boy?
30629	And write something, too, wo n''t you? 30629 And your father is n''t your father, Sherm?--or your mother or Sue or Grace?"
30629	Are n''t they lovely, Jilly?
30629	Are n''t you afraid you will hurt somebody''s feelings with all these pranks? 30629 Are they wearing hoops pretty generally?"
30629	Are what, Katy?
30629	Are you quite sure they are safe with the guns? 30629 Are you thinking of sending her next year?"
30629	Bet you do-- honest, do n''t you?
30629	Bread? 30629 But I thought he was just going to the Naval Academy-- why does he have to be sworn in as if he were enlisting?"
30629	But what did your Mother say, dear?
30629	But your school begins soon, does n''t it?
30629	Ca n''t a fellow laugh without having to give an account of himself?
30629	Ca n''t you think of something, Sherm?
30629	Can I be of any service, Miss?
30629	Can I go by the pasture, Father? 30629 Can we all go?"
30629	Can you be content to be our boy this winter, Sherm?
30629	Can you see the time?
30629	Can you stick it out a few minutes longer, Marian?
30629	Can you tell where we are?
30629	Captain Clarke,said Jane rather timidly after they had gone,"would you mind showing me that picture of your baby again?"
30629	Captain-- Captain Clarke, what is it?
30629	Carol?
30629	Carol?--writing to me? 30629 Centerville?
30629	Chicken Little Jane Morton, have n''t you had any raising? 30629 Chicken Little, I hate to mention it, but is there anything left on the ranch to eat?
30629	Chicken Little, do I look hungry enough to steal your bread? 30629 Chicken Little,"he called,"do you mind getting out and seeing if you can tell us where we are?"
30629	Chicken Little-- O Chicken Little, are you very mad? 30629 Dear me, I wonder what we can do next?"
30629	Dear me, Jane, do you get all that out of this poor little comic opera? 30629 Dear me, are n''t they in the closet?"
30629	Dear me,said Katy,"how big do little pigs have to be before they can be turned into the corral with the others?"
30629	Did Mother give you a new bible?
30629	Did it make them really sorry? 30629 Did n''t you truly mind my coming?
30629	Did you have a good time at Mamie''s last night?
30629	Did you really?
30629	Did you ride him?
30629	Did you take the bread?
30629	Did you take the whole baking?
30629	Do n''t want to? 30629 Do n''t you remember that letter I got from Carol?
30629	Do n''t you want me to tell you?
30629	Do n''t you wish you knew?
30629	Do they really think somebody got burned?
30629	Do you like that sort of stuff, Chicken Little?
30629	Do you really, truly, mean it, Father?
30629	Do you suppose we could ride backwards?
30629	Do you suppose we''ll get as much as five dollars apiece from those pigs?
30629	Do you suppose you could take Calico and catch him?
30629	Do you think he is sufficiently qualified to row the_ Chicken Little_, Captain Clarke?
30629	Do you think you ought to go, Sherm?
30629	Do you want them all here at the house or shall we put part of them down at the spring?
30629	Do you want to be an artist, Sherm?
30629	Does Mother know?
30629	Does your mother know they have this sort of games?
30629	Dressing up, Chicken Little? 30629 Ernest, tell me-- what''s the matter?"
30629	Ernest,said his father the Saturday before his departure,"will you take one farewell turn at herding to- morrow?
30629	Father?
30629	Frank? 30629 From Alice?
30629	Glad to have her out of the way, are n''t you, Mother? 30629 Golly, I did, did n''t I?
30629	Grant Stowe?
30629	Habit?
30629	Have n''t you any idea where we are, Dart?
30629	Have they all written something-- specially for you, Chicken Little? 30629 Have you a gun with you?"
30629	Hello, Little Neighbor, is the piebald behaving himself?
30629	Here, Mother, where did you get this teetotum? 30629 Here, where do I come in?"
30629	Hermit''s cave? 30629 Hm- n, are n''t you going to put any medicine on it?"
30629	Hold still there, ca n''t you? 30629 Home?"
30629	How did you keep them fresh so long?
30629	How do you know?
30629	How far now?
30629	How is it different?
30629	How long have you been eating green cherries, Jane?
30629	How long will he be gone?
30629	How many times have I told you, little daughter, that there is to be no novel- reading until your work and your practising are both done? 30629 How would you like to work here on the ranch if you do n''t go to college, Sherm?"
30629	How''d you get so wise, Chicken Little?
30629	Humph, what about Calico?
30629	Huz, Huz, why ca n''t you be still?
30629	I am glad you realize you did very wrong, little daughter, is that all you have to say to me?
30629	I shall be charmed, Chicken Little, will you finish these dishes or sweep the sitting room or sew on that dress of Jilly''s? 30629 I was thrown three times last week, would you like to try my pony, Katy?"
30629	If it snows?
30629	If my program does n''t suit you, wo n''t you tell me what is wrong? 30629 In the bread box, of course, child, where did you suppose?"
30629	In the closet? 30629 Indians?"
30629	Is it the train, or merely your love of adventure?
30629	Is n''t it dainty? 30629 Is n''t it glorious?"
30629	Is n''t that little white one with the pink ears and curly tail cunning? 30629 Is n''t the middle of May a little early to close school?"
30629	Is n''t there a house somewhere near where we can inquire?
30629	Is that all right?
30629	Is the hunting still good around here?
30629	Is the teacher any good?
30629	Is this the way you treat your correspondence, Sis?
30629	Is tony the very latest, Ernest?
30629	It is n''t the name of any ship or famous naval hero?
30629	It''s no such thing, Ernest Morton, I killed a quail once, did n''t I, Father?
30629	It''s the way you take my books and----"Yes?
30629	Jane, what are you talking about? 30629 Jane, where did you pick up such a coarse expression?
30629	Jilly does n''t seem any the worse for her bump this morning, does she?
30629	Just for the young folks?
30629	Like burning grass or leaves?
30629	Like it? 30629 Make fun of you?
30629	Making fun, what about?
30629	Mamie''s? 30629 May I go, too, Frank?
30629	May I play on your side, Jane?
30629	Me? 30629 Medicine?"
30629	Mind? 30629 Monks?
30629	Most?
30629	Mother, have n''t the girls got to take out that stitching?
30629	My dear daughter, can I never make you understand that little ladies may not do everything their brothers do?
30629	My son, whom are you addressing?
30629	My, we had a good race, did n''t we, Jilly Dilly? 30629 My, would n''t that be grand to study in Paris?
30629	N- o- o, but----"Yes?
30629	New teacher start in by giving you a lecture on deportment?
30629	No, who''s going?
30629	No? 30629 Nonsense, who''s afraid of a little snow?
30629	Now what?
30629	Now will you be good?
30629	Now, do you see why she did n''t answer? 30629 Now, will you?"
30629	O Ernest, and be an officer? 30629 O Ernest, what if you should go clear round the world?"
30629	O Mother, would n''t that be glorious? 30629 Oh, Gertie, wo n''t you be afraid?"
30629	Oh, Mother, do you think I could? 30629 Oh, Sherm, did you ever wear them?
30629	Oh, are n''t they dear? 30629 Oh, ca n''t Ernest go to college if we do n''t have rain?"
30629	Oh, do you''spose she was on the nest? 30629 Oh, is Ernest going?"
30629	Oh, is n''t it nice? 30629 Oh, there''s the biggest snake I ever saw-- over there near that rock-- don''t you see?"
30629	Ought n''t you to go right home and change?
30629	Out with it, little woman, what''s troubling you?
30629	P. S. Do you still read Mary Jane Holmes?
30629	Penance? 30629 Pooh, naval officers do n''t carry cutlasses, do they, Captain Clarke?"
30629	Pretty well done for, yourself, are n''t you, lad?
30629	Provoking-- who?--Chicken Little? 30629 Pshaw, you''re making that up, but what''s the idea?
30629	Quail?
30629	Really, Chicken Little?
30629	Save the pieces, Chicken Little, what''s your hurry?
30629	Say, Frank, how soon will these pigs be big enough to go in the corral with the others?
30629	Say, Sherm,Katy prodded,"why do n''t you borrow Jane''s riding skirt too?"
30629	Say, Sis, do n''t you want to stay home and help me herd to- morrow? 30629 Say, the Japs know a thing or two, do n''t they?
30629	Shall I bring some bread, Ma''am? 30629 Sherm, Frank left the water barrels and the mops and everything on the wagon, did n''t he?"
30629	Sherm, Sherm, what is it?
30629	Sherm, do n''t you just adore to skate?
30629	Sherm, if I slapped you some day would you be surprised?
30629	Sherm, truly?
30629	Sherm, what does she mean?
30629	Sis, I''m mighty fond of you-- do you know it?
30629	Stay all night? 30629 Sure, was n''t that what you wanted?"
30629	Take a hand to a wooster? 30629 Thank you, it''s fine exercise, is n''t it?"
30629	That means that he----?
30629	That''s a whole hour-- we can get back easy in an hour-- can''t we, Jilly- Dilly?
30629	That''s so, too, but I guess I can change my mind, ca n''t I?
30629	The Dickens, have you any idea where she''s gone?
30629	Then why are you making such a row?
30629	There is n''t any train before to- morrow, is there?
30629	They certainly look all right,said Marian,"what''s the matter with them-- salt?"
30629	They love it, do n''t they?
30629	Think it over? 30629 This boy, he was n''t an orphan, was he?"
30629	Three? 30629 To Benton''s?
30629	Too stubborn to own up, Lady Jane?
30629	Ugh, are there really snakes there, Jane?
30629	Was it some boy?
30629	Was n''t it? 30629 We do n''t have to ride to the ranch on horseback, do we?"
30629	We must be nearly half way there, are n''t we?
30629	We must divide the honors, will you break the bottle over the bow while Sherm pushes off? 30629 Well, April Fool''s Day is next Wednesday-- why not get up a frolic for that evening?"
30629	Well, I declare, why did n''t she answer me when I called?
30629	Well, we found something, did n''t we?
30629	Well, what in the demnition bow wows have you been doing now, Chicken Little Jane Morton?
30629	Well, what is it?
30629	Well, what''s so funny about that?
30629	Well,he demanded gruffly,"what''s the matter?
30629	What about the ponies? 30629 What about you?"
30629	What are you sighing for, Jane? 30629 What can we do?"
30629	What could I put them in, Father?
30629	What could we have, Frank?
30629	What did you fellows go to sleep for when you were driving, anyhow?
30629	What did you want to tell for?
30629	What do you mean?
30629	What do you suppose is the matter?
30629	What do you think? 30629 What do you want?"
30629	What if he is n''t at home?
30629	What if the boys do see us? 30629 What in Sam Hill are you people doing over there?"
30629	What in the dickens did you want to go and eat green cherries for, when there were pounds and pounds of ripe ones going to waste on the trees?
30629	What in thunder are those children up to now?
30629	What is it she''s reading?
30629	What is it, Ernest?
30629	What is it, Sherm? 30629 What is it,"queried Ernest as they started homeward,"about a railroad train that makes one so crazy to go along?"
30629	What is it? 30629 What luck?"
30629	What now?
30629	What on earth are you eating those green things for, child?
30629	What on earth are you going to do now, Jane Morton?
30629	What secrets are you talking?
30629	What was in it?
30629	What was the Santa Fe trail? 30629 What you trying to do, anyhow?
30629	What''ll you bet the snow catches us before we get home to- night?
30629	What''ll you bet?
30629	What''s Jilly getting there? 30629 What''s Miss Flirtie been saying to make you so ruffled?
30629	What''s good for whom?
30629	What''s that?
30629	What''s the cunning little stone house for?
30629	What''s the use of talking? 30629 What''s up?"
30629	What, did you have an upset?
30629	When did you say those youngsters were coming? 30629 Where are you going, Chicken Little?"
30629	Where did you put our Sunday clothes?
30629	Where did you put the bread, Mother?
30629	Where ever can we put the clothes where they ca n''t find them? 30629 Where is your loaf, Chicken Little?"
30629	Which rooster, Jilly?
30629	Which way did the sound come from?
30629	Who is ready for the climb?
30629	Who put that idea into your head?--Mamie?
30629	Who said anything about backing out?
30629	Why Chicken Little, crying? 30629 Why are you smiling?
30629	Why do n''t you tear yourself from the scenery and come under cover?
30629	Why is that old tree all by itself that way?
30629	Why, Chicken Little, I did n''t know you were in town? 30629 Why, Grant?
30629	Why,she said disgustedly after they were started,"wo n''t mothers ever let you grow up?
30629	Will you boys take the oars together or one at a time? 30629 Will you cross your heart never to tell, Sherm?
30629	Will you go to college next year?
30629	Will you leave the matter to me for a few days? 30629 Wo n''t you ever learn not to be fooled?"
30629	Wo n''t you please pass the water, Sherm?
30629	Would Ernest let us take Caliph?
30629	Would you rather have chocolate or cocoanut cake for your lunch, girls? 30629 Yes, Jane, what do you think?
30629	Yes, Sherm''s just told me,he called back,"would n''t it be scrumptious if we both got to go?"
30629	Yes, Sherm, but if you get thorns in your hand, it''s better to try to pull them out than to go on pushing them in deeper, is n''t it? 30629 Yes, and Chicken Little, did you girls feed the porkers last evening?
30629	Yes, as if what?
30629	Yes, to be sure, but what would you suggest that I offer him? 30629 Yes-- what----""Are the barrels filled?"
30629	Yes?
30629	You are going to ask Katy and Gertie, are n''t you, Mother?
30629	You did n''t suppose she would, did you?
30629	You did? 30629 You do n''t suppose I was going to wear that clumsy thing?
30629	You do n''t suppose the boys could have meddled with it, do you?
30629	You do n''t suppose we could have passed them, do you?
30629	You do n''t think they''ve got lost, do you, Frank?
30629	You do n''t think----?
30629	Your brother? 30629 ''Am I my brother''s keeper?'' 30629 After a little he inquired rather sheepishly:Say, Chicken Little, you do n''t like Carol best now, do you?"
30629	After which he held up his hands and exclaimed:"Say, Doctor Morton, what do you feed these infants on to make them grow so fast?
30629	And do you know what I have done?"
30629	And when it is n''t a child or one or two grown men or women who try to be cruel or unjust, but a whole nation, what then?
30629	And, Marian,"Chicken Little thought it was time to change the subject,"how do you make yourself be sorry, when you ought to be and are n''t?"
30629	Any commissions, Mother?
30629	Are n''t you glad I insisted on more geometry?"
30629	Are you sure your ears are clean?"
30629	As they passed the cottage, Marian exclaimed:"Did you get matches either of you?"
30629	Be frank with me, Jane, is there anything left?"
30629	Before the doctor could reassure them, Frank replied gravely:"Of course, what did you expect in Kansas?
30629	Boys, will you draw up chairs for the girls?"
30629	Brown?"
30629	But have you any idea where she is?
30629	But what has his rooster- ship done, and how can I make him keep still long enough to lay hands on him, Jilly Dilly?"
30629	But your school begins about the middle of September, does n''t it?
30629	By the way, Frank, are you and Marian going hunting with us?"
30629	CHAPTER VII PIGS"Take a hand to a wooster?
30629	CHAPTER XIX SHERM HEARS BAD NEWS"Sherm, do n''t you just love this room?"
30629	Can you see, Chicken Little?"
30629	Chicken Little Jane, was n''t it?"
30629	Chicken Little laughed, but retorted:"Humph, how many times have you sat on her front porch this summer?"
30629	Chicken Little was feeling disturbingly sober; no Ernest, no Katy, no Gertie-- how could she ever stand it?
30629	Chicken Little, would you mind telling Wing to serve Sherm''s breakfast?"
30629	Chicken Little?"
30629	Did Mr. Clay stand you in a corner the first day or did the handsome Grant neglect you for Mamie?"
30629	Did he, too, feel as if there were another presence haunting these relics of his childhood?
30629	Did n''t I see one of those sleeveless jacket affairs in there?"
30629	Did you get lost?"
30629	Did you think your pride would keep you warm, Chicken Little?"
30629	Do n''t you hear it?
30629	Do n''t you like it?"
30629	Do n''t you remember that red- headed boy?"
30629	Do n''t you s''pose they''re glad or sorry about things when night comes, just as we are?"
30629	Do n''t you think I''m nice to tell you?"
30629	Do n''t you want to hear about Alice''s wedding?"
30629	Do n''t you wish everything was like that-- pretty and gay, with all the lovers getting things straightened out right?"
30629	Do you class them with the unpleasant things?"
30629	Do you know his smile is very much like Sherm''s?
30629	Do you mind if I read you a bit?"
30629	Do you remember the picture of the Captain''s little boy that looked like Sherm?
30629	Do you suppose Ernest will know him?
30629	Do you suppose Father would take me over some time?"
30629	Do you suppose I''d call you home if they were in the closet?
30629	Do you suppose he bought them for his wife and she was dead when he got home with them?"
30629	Do you suppose he wants us to go through it?"
30629	Do you think you can keep awake?
30629	Do you think?"
30629	Do you want anything from town, Mother?"
30629	Do you wonder this ugly thing looks beautiful to me?"
30629	Dr. Morton relieved the situation by remarking mischievously:"Ask Ernest who''s surprised now, Chicken Little?"
30629	Dr. Morton, coming in just then, replied:"Your mother is not here, what do you want?"
30629	Ernest, would you mind stepping up to the house and asking Wing for a bottle of ginger ale?"
30629	Gee, what can we put them in?"
30629	Guess, maybe, I''m not democratic enough-- you remember that party at Jenkins''?
30629	Have I ever told you about the hermit''s cave?"
30629	Have another?"
30629	Have n''t you a piece in your pocket, Frank?"
30629	Have n''t you, Katy?"
30629	Have you ever taken drawing lessons?"
30629	Have you got the high overshoes?
30629	Have your pets been getting out?"
30629	He had the grace to color when Chicken Little remarked carelessly:"It was n''t so bad as you thought it would be, was it, Sherm?"
30629	How am I to teach my daughter to be a gentle woman, when she is constantly hearing vulgar language?"
30629	How did you ever dare, Chicken Little, to tackle it?
30629	How will that do?"
30629	How would that suit you, Chicken Little?"
30629	How''d you know enough to face them that way instead of running?
30629	I can hear you say:''What in the dickens?''
30629	I do have lots of fun with her-- she can be awfully nice when she wants to be, but----""But?"
30629	I do n''t see the connection, do you?
30629	I suppose I need not expect to be asked to any doll parties, but, Jane, would n''t you-- couldn''t you, take me fishing when we come?
30629	If our courts did n''t punish people for being cruel to other people?
30629	Is he in already?"
30629	Is n''t it a beauty?
30629	Is n''t that Sherm''s best tie you''ve got on?"
30629	Is she too popular or too affected or too dressy?"
30629	It was a bargain, was n''t it?"
30629	It''s Spanish, is n''t it?"
30629	It''s worth while to have that sort of a father, Ernest, but it makes the Morton name somewhat of a responsibility to live up to, does n''t it?"
30629	Jump in, Ernest; you know how to handle an oar in fresh water, do n''t you?"
30629	Just make the bow a little more perky, ca n''t you, Marian?
30629	Just what did he mean?
30629	Katy wavered and unbent enough to ask:"What is it?"
30629	Let me see, that''s less than a quarter of a mile, is n''t it?
30629	Marian, do n''t you want to ride over with me?"
30629	May I hold them, Jane, when we get back to the wagon?"
30629	May I look at the lace?"
30629	Morton?"
30629	Mrs. Morton has been feeding me on good things ever since I came, why should I want to make away with four loaves of bread?"
30629	My, does n''t the air taste good?"
30629	No, where is it?"
30629	Oh, would n''t it be just too wonderful?
30629	Penance for what?"
30629	Say, Sherm, why could n''t you arrange to take one or two special studies under the new teacher?
30629	Say, did you know a crowd of us are going out to his house to- night to an oyster supper?"
30629	Say, what did you girls do to yourselves that you are so used up to- day?
30629	See, they all lie down close to the mamma stem-- isn''t that funny?.
30629	Shall I get it out to- night, Mrs. Morton, or wait till morning?"
30629	She ended a little meaningly:"Do you know, I believe girls can be sillier from thirteen to sixteen than at any other age?
30629	Sherm helped her out, saying:"Will you please tell them, Chicken Little?
30629	Sherm swearing?
30629	Sherm, do you mind if I take these things over and show them to Captain Clarke?
30629	Sherm, have you both buffalo robes?"
30629	Should she dare to ask him?
30629	Still, I think it looks like Captain Clarke, too, do n''t you?"
30629	Sure you have plenty to eat?"
30629	That is in Illinois, is it not?"
30629	The one who was here the other evening?"
30629	Was n''t it dreadful?
30629	Was there to be a repetition of the bread episode?
30629	We were tickled to death to have an excuse, eh, Chicken Little?"
30629	What are you going to do this summer?"
30629	What bread?"
30629	What can we do?
30629	What can we do?
30629	What do you mean?"
30629	What do you say, Marian?"
30629	What if it should fascinate her so she could n''t move?
30629	What''s in it?"
30629	What''s the matter now?"
30629	What''s the matter with the rest of us?"
30629	What''s the matter, Katie?"
30629	What''s the matter?"
30629	When they had finally got the atmosphere cleared a bit, he inquired, still smiling:"Well, are you sorry now you went to the Captain''s?"
30629	Where are my spectacles?
30629	Where''d you get it?"
30629	Where, Mother, where?"
30629	Who do you suppose?"
30629	Who hung mine?"
30629	Who says a man ca n''t pick out a hat?"
30629	Whoever from?"
30629	Why Mother, it''s by slang that a language is enriched, did n''t you know that?"
30629	Why ca n''t they be content with a good square meal at home?"
30629	Why did n''t you tell us?
30629	Why do n''t you call him gingham apron or something really choice?"
30629	Why do n''t you drop things and come along?
30629	Why return to prosaic errands and eggs when you can revel in a world of romance so easily?"
30629	Why, Mother, you''re going to ask them to come, are n''t you?"
30629	Will we, Mother Morton?"
30629	Will you cut the lemon cake?"
30629	Will you go with me, Sherm?"
30629	Will you help me, Katie?"
30629	Wo n''t you accept it as a present to keep that autograph album company?"
30629	Wo n''t you be as generous?"
30629	Wo n''t you please call Mother?"
30629	Would n''t it be romantic?"
30629	Would n''t that be nice after Father had put up a lot of money to send me on?
30629	Would you mind if we children all went with you because nobody''s going to be willing to be left out?"
30629	Would you think me very rude and unappreciative if I declined, dear?
30629	You are n''t feeling worse, are you?"
30629	You are n''t in a great hurry for the eggs, are you, Mother?"
30629	You are n''t just being polite?"
30629	You did n''t take a five- mile walk or anything after we left, did you?"
30629	You do n''t mean she has lost the other twelve?
30629	You do n''t remember a single thing about it, do you?
30629	You do n''t suppose anybody could resist this crowd, do you?"
30629	You expect Ernest to be a gentleman, do n''t you, just as much as you do me to be a lady?"
30629	You have n''t seen any tramps about, have you, Sherm?
30629	You would n''t hurt me, would you, Calico?"
30629	You would n''t let a big dog kill a little one without trying to save it, would you, Gertie?"
30629	You''re not calculatin''to take up your residence permanent like in them cherry trees, are you?
30629	exclaimed Frank,"you did n''t get over to black Charlie''s?
30629	exclaimed Sherm,"how did it ever creep up on us this way?"
30629	he exclaimed vengefully,"what do they make these things so pesky slippery for?"
30629	she exclaimed, smiling through the trickling tears,"was that what you stopped down town for?
31524	Ai n''t it awful about the Saline country?
31524	All about me? 31524 Am I, Marjie?
31524	And after that?
31524	And by the way, did you settle it with the widow, too? 31524 And do you mean to say that because Amos Judson turned you off and cut you out of his will, you had to come out to this forsaken land?
31524	And if he really wants to do better, what have we all been told in the Sunday- school? 31524 And take some girl along?
31524	And what''s below you?
31524	And when the campaign''s over,queried O''mie,"will you stay in the army?"
31524	And you told him good- bye at your own door?
31524	And you would let that other girl take care of herself, would n''t you, while I was there? 31524 And you''ll be sure to keep still about my dad, too, wo n''t you?"
31524	Are n''t you willing to right the wrongs you''ve done, and save yourself, too?
31524	Are you afraid of Indians?
31524	Are you afraid of them, Candace?
31524	Are you going out West to stay?
31524	Are you leaving us?
31524	Are you mine once more?
31524	Are you tired after your journey?
31524	Are you waiting for me here?
31524	Better now? 31524 Bud, you tow- headed infant, how the dickens and tomhill did you manage to break into good society out here?"
31524	But had n''t ye heard? 31524 But whose flower wreath could it have been?"
31524	But why did n''t you stay there?
31524	But why leave here?
31524	But,Tell persisted,"how do the Injuns themselves feel?"
31524	Ca n''t you, ca n''t you put us to work?
31524	Can they do better than that, Grover?
31524	Can we have a room downstairs? 31524 Can ye picture what would be down there now?
31524	Could anything have happened to him?
31524	Could it be an Indian camp- fire?
31524	Could you, Phil? 31524 Did Amos Judson tell you all this, Mother?"
31524	Did I know Judson? 31524 Did he tell you about his girl here?"
31524	Did n''t find any dead dogs nor children next mornin'', did ye, O''mie?
31524	Did n''t ye hear,''four A. M. sharp''? 31524 Did she have on a red blanket too, Saturday afternoon?"
31524	Did you follow it?
31524	Did you go near the cabin?
31524	Did you know her or her husband?
31524	Did you see any one, or is it just a wayside camp for movers going out on the trail?
31524	Did you see him again that night?
31524	Did you see him first?
31524	Do n''t you really care for Lettie, Phil? 31524 Do n''t you think he will be good now, Phil?"
31524	Do you know how Jean Pahusca came to carry a knife for years with the name,''Jean Le Claire,''cut in the blade? 31524 Do you mean to say, Thomas O''Meara--?"
31524	Do you really think he will be good now?
31524	Do you remember the day Judge Baronet took his squad out av Springvale, Phil? 31524 Father Le Claire, can you tell me anything about Jean Pahusca, and where he is now?"
31524	Father Le Claire, how do the Injuns feel about this fracas now?
31524	Father, am I a fool, or is it in the Baronet blood to love deeply and constantly even unto death?
31524	Father, must that trip be made to- day? 31524 Father, you remember when you were twenty- one?"
31524	Father,I began hesitatingly,"Father, do you still love my mother?
31524	For goodness''sake, who goes there?
31524	Had n''t we better turn back now? 31524 Had n''t you heard?"
31524	Has anybody seen him this morning?
31524	Has he been flirting with some one, Mr. Tillhurst? 31524 Has he given you cause?"
31524	Has n''t that Indian massacre been avenged yet?
31524	Have ye talked wid Father Le Claire?
31524	Have you come to the cross- roads, Phil?
31524	Have you heard the news?
31524	Have you talked to O''mie of this?
31524	He did? 31524 He took you home from the Andersons''party the night Dave Mead was at Red Range?"
31524	His will? 31524 How about Brother Dodd?"
31524	How about that island, Grover?
31524	How can anybody help lovin''her?
31524	How can you get some, Bud? 31524 How come the rid flowers stuck with the little burrs on your dress?
31524	How did you get here, O''mie?
31524	How do you do?
31524	How does this concern you, Phil?
31524	How much cause have you given her? 31524 How much time will it require to get your counsel and come here again?"
31524	I will see you again; may I?
31524	I''ll guess that''s petticoats going up there,I said mentally,"but who''s hunting wild flowers out here alone this time of night?
31524	I, strolling? 31524 I?
31524	I? 31524 I?
31524	In no way, then, has Philip ever done you any wrong? 31524 Is it whiskey?"
31524	Is n''t that all?
31524	Is that the biggest hostler you''ve got?
31524	Is that the lilac that is so fragrant?
31524	Is the town safe?
31524	Is this your story?
31524	It must be movers, and as to that red flash of color, are you real sure it was not just a part of the rose- hued world out there?
31524	Look at the ould man, now, would ye? 31524 Marjie, can it be you?
31524	Marjie,I said gently,"will you kiss me and tell me that you love me?"
31524	May I ask you one favor?
31524	May I see you just a minute? 31524 May I take something else to Aunt Candace, too, Marjie?"
31524	May I take you home, Marjie, and tell you how sweet that letter was?
31524	Mr. Mapleson, will you repeat to Le Claire what you have just told me and show him your affidavits and records?
31524	Mrs. Gentry,Le Claire asked abruptly,"where did you find O''mie?"
31524	Now what the deuce can you do in the army, O''mie?
31524	Now''d ye ever see a finer- lookin''couple?
31524	Now, Cam, has anybody ever heard her say she was engaged? 31524 Now, Phil, where did you get that knife?"
31524	Now, as to this half- breed, why the devil did n''t you kill him when you had the chance? 31524 Now, how did he ever get to that place, O''mie?"
31524	Now, will you tell us what you know of this case?
31524	Nowhere, is she? 31524 O''mie, we know, and Father Le Claire knows, but how can we make those foolish girls understand?
31524	O''mie, you heard Dr. Hemingway''s prayer last night?
31524	Of his own choice?
31524	Oh, Marjie, my Marjie, what is wrong?
31524	Oh, O''mie, what are you forever tagging me for?
31524	Oh, Phil, Phil, are you here again? 31524 Oh, Phil, what shall we do?
31524	Or you?
31524	Phil Baronet, you thon of a horthe- thief, where have you been keeping yourthelf? 31524 Phil, did Le Claire suggest any property?"
31524	Phil, do ye remimber that May mornin''when ye broke through the vines av the Hermit''s Cave? 31524 Phil, when did you see Jean Pahusca last?"
31524	Phil, why do you hate me?
31524	Phil,Aunt Candace was at the door now,"have you thought of the Hermit''s Cave?"
31524	Philip, why do you consider the cave possible?
31524	Phwat can I do? 31524 Really, is there?"
31524	Say, Clate, where''s Bud going?
31524	Settle it? 31524 Shall I do it, little sister?
31524	Shall we tell Le Claire?
31524	Something else now?
31524	Spakin''of bein''paupers and bein''kept by Judson, Lettie-- who is payin''the wages of sin, in money and fine clothes, right now? 31524 Stands to reason a boy who can live in Kansas would go back to Massachusetts, does n''t it?"
31524	Tell me, O''mie, what''s he done?
31524	Tell me, O''mie,I said at last,"how you happened to find me up there two hours ago?"
31524	That means we''ll never get across either, does n''t it?
31524	Them horses dangerous?
31524	There is no stain somewhere, no folly of idle flirtation, no weakness? 31524 They call that being''locoed''out on the Plains, do n''t they?"
31524	Tobacco?
31524	Uncle Cam, where is O''mie? 31524 Until when?"
31524	Was she never heard of again?
31524	Well, an''phwat did somethin''do to you?
31524	Well, little sweetheart, honest now, and I wo n''t tell, and it''s none of my doggoned business neither; but be you goin''to marry Amos Judson?
31524	Well, what ever did become of that Jean, anyhow? 31524 Well, what is it you want?"
31524	Well, what is it?
31524	Well, what took her to the-- to the old cabin out there?
31524	Well, what was it, O''mie?
31524	Well, who be thaid lady?
31524	Well, why not set your cap fur the widder? 31524 Well,"I said,"will I do?"
31524	Well?
31524	Were you waiting for me, dearie? 31524 What are you doing, Pete?"
31524	What are you going to do, Phil?
31524	What are you going to do? 31524 What brought you out here, Bud?"
31524	What can I do for you, Lettie?
31524	What do you mean?
31524	What does he come here so much for, anyhow?
31524	What else?
31524	What for?
31524	What has happened, Philip?
31524	What is it, Marjie?
31524	What is it, Phil? 31524 What is it, Phil?"
31524	What is it?
31524	What is your name, and what do you want?
31524	What makes you call me''Star- face''? 31524 What makes you lonesome, O''mie?"
31524	What makes you think so, John?
31524	What news?
31524	What part of town did he have, Philip?
31524	What was it your business?
31524	What was it, Marjie?
31524	What was it, a rattlesnake?
31524	What were you doing there?
31524	What will you do with him?
31524	What''s Tell Mapleson after this year, d''ye reckon? 31524 What''s that?"
31524	What''s the matter down there?
31524	What''s the matter with these critters, Phil?
31524	What''s the matter, Baronet? 31524 What''s the matter, Baronet?"
31524	What''s the matter, O''mie? 31524 What''s the matter, Phil?"
31524	What''s these Kansas men with their capital letters got to do with it?
31524	What''s your name?
31524	What''th going to be done?
31524	When are you going to leave?
31524	When do you go home?
31524	When shall I call?
31524	When was that one night?
31524	Where are you going, Marjie?
31524	Where does he live?
31524	Where has he been? 31524 Where is your home, your tepee?"
31524	Where was he at that time?
31524	Where was he?
31524	Where will you go now?
31524	Where will you go, my boy?
31524	Where''s Aunt Candace?
31524	Where''s O''mie?
31524	Where''s my evidence?
31524	Where? 31524 Who is he, daughter?"
31524	Who taketh your plathe, O''mie?
31524	Who told you he was there, father?
31524	Who took you home the second time?
31524	Whose business?
31524	Whose business?
31524	Why ca n''t he stay Injun? 31524 Why did n''t I get a letter, dearie?"
31524	Why did n''t you come home with the crowd, handsome giant?
31524	Why did n''t you say so?
31524	Why did you leave Massachusetts?
31524	Why do you ask?
31524	Why not tell me now what father knows?
31524	Why should it be small?
31524	Why should you care?
31524	Why, O''mie?
31524	Why, boys, what''s all this delegation mean?
31524	Why, what did he fear?
31524	Why, where was Uncle Cam?
31524	Why?
31524	Will you and Judson kill time down here?
31524	Will you help us out of this, Le Claire?
31524	Will you sign a relinquishment to your claim, and trust to me that it is the best for us to do?
31524	Will you stay with me, Bud, till I get up there?
31524	Will you take this young lady home for me? 31524 Will you wear it again for me, dearie?"
31524	With Phil?
31524	Would n''t a Injun look funny with my thcalp?
31524	Would you know it, Marjie, if you thaw it again?
31524	Would you really do that, O''mie?
31524	Yes, you narrow, grasping robber of orphans, why?
31524	You Judge Baronet''s son?
31524	You are safe still?
31524	You care so much for another man''s wife? 31524 You did n''t see who was on the horse, did you?"
31524	You go at sunrise?
31524	You know that rich Melrose girl''s gone back to Topeka?
31524	You know the purpose of Amos Judson''s visit with your mother yesterday?
31524	You say you wo n''t?
31524	You sleep well?
31524	You two gettin''ready to elope? 31524 You wanted to see me, Phil?"
31524	You wanted to see me?
31524	You will look after them, John? 31524 You''ll go to prayer meeting, Phil?"
31524	You''ll never let the Indians get you, will you, Phil?
31524	Ai n''t you sometimes?"
31524	An''what more could a man do?
31524	And a voice, Marjie''s sweet voice, called anxiously:"Is that you, Phil?
31524	And his pleading voice,"Phil, ye''ll come soon, wo n''t ye?"
31524	And now, what else?"
31524	And phwat''s to be nixt?"
31524	And second, is the young man we call O''mie heir to the same?
31524	And when King Lear asked,"What''s that?"
31524	And who is his beneficiary?"
31524	Any old waterproof cloak to lend me, girlie?"
31524	Anybody here seen him for five years?"
31524	Anything except a pretty girl?"
31524	Are n''t we pretty near the edge?
31524	Are n''t you proud of the name, John?"
31524	Are they?"
31524	Are you afraid of ghosts?"
31524	Are you goin''to quit it?
31524	Are you scared or sick?"
31524	Are you the man to get it?"
31524	At the supper table my host went directly to my case by asking,"Have you come out here to prospect or to take hold?"
31524	Besides, who wants to back out?
31524	But how about her?"
31524	But tell me, Father,"I had dropped down beside him again,"do you still love my mother?
31524	But the query,"Where''s Phil, now?"
31524	But what is the matter, Phil?"
31524	But what took you to the top of the cliff at midnight?
31524	But where is Philip?"
31524	But where was he after that?
31524	But who has spoken out for these-- the women and the young?
31524	But who is this shadow of Jean Pahusca''s-- a priest in civilization, a renegade on the Plains?
31524	But you''ll promise, wo n''t you, for the sake of my husband?
31524	CHAPTER X O''MIE''S CHOICE And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his gods?
31524	Cam groaned,"can anything have happened to him?"
31524	Can a career like this be atoned for with a bank check and interest at eight per cent?"
31524	Can you imagine what his mother felt when she found her boy was stolen?
31524	Can you picture the joy of that reunion?
31524	Could I be deceiving her by putting Rachel off in her presence?
31524	Could I be the same boy that watched that line of blue- coats file out of Springvale and across the rocky ford of the Neosho that summer day?
31524	Could I?
31524	Could it be that her mother was trying to influence my father in her favor?
31524	Could she be in league against me?
31524	Could twenty- four hours of distrust and misunderstanding displace these fourteen years of happy thinking?
31524	Could you care for anybody else?
31524	Could you go out again to- morrow?"
31524	D''ye just notice Phil''s hair, layin''in soft thick waves?
31524	D''ye see?"
31524	D''ye''s lief come into town that way?"
31524	Did I know her?"
31524	Did I remember?
31524	Did a merciful God forget the Plains in those days of prairie conquest?
31524	Did he iver decaive?
31524	Did he iver do a cruelty to a helpless thing, or fight a smaller boy?
31524	Did he iver turn coward in a place where courage was needed?
31524	Did his manner please Marjie?
31524	Did my love for her spring into being at that instant?
31524	Did n''t they have their full swing at you?"
31524	Did n''t we settle that in those days together at dear old Rockport?
31524	Did you ever feel as if you were near somebody you could n''t see?"
31524	Do I love the woman who gave you birth?
31524	Do you know the writing?"
31524	Do you prefer any witness or counsel, or shall we settle this alone?"
31524	Do you remember how I would always get on your side of the game when Jean Pahusca played with us?"
31524	Do you remember when we played hide- and- seek in there?"
31524	Do you see now?"
31524	Do you see?"
31524	Do you think he is safe?"
31524	Do you want it?"
31524	Does a man love the same woman always?"
31524	Ever thee a tow- headed flying thquirrel?"
31524	Faintly, just beside me, came the reply:"Phil, you''ve come?
31524	First, did O''Meara give up the land he entered?
31524	For suddenly came the query"How can I best take care of her?
31524	For why?
31524	Fur why?
31524	Goin''northwest?
31524	Had I not seen the unselfish, kindly, generous spirit that had marked all his business career?
31524	Had he told me that to give me courage in my hour of shrinking?
31524	Had we not lived on this Kansas border in all those plastic years when the mind takes deepest impressions?
31524	Had we not sworn our fealty to the flag, and protection to our town in our boyish patriotism the Summer before?
31524	Has he been a young man of double dealing, coarse and rude with some company and refined with others?
31524	Have you and Marjie quarrelled?
31524	Have you any answer to my claim?"
31524	Have you ever known him to deceive anybody?
31524	He was no coward, nor laggard; but where could he have kept himself?
31524	He''s an Osage, is n''t he?"
31524	Honest, now, what''s what?"
31524	Honestly, now, was there iver anything in all the years we run together that was n''t square and clane and fearless and lovin''?"
31524	How can a man as good and holy as I am manage the obstreperous girls?
31524	How can a man live who has lost his wife, or his sweetheart, in that way?"
31524	How can the Good Bein''permit it?"
31524	How could God permit it?
31524	How could I ever care for a girl so mean- spirited and cruel as she had been to me?
31524	How could I meet this woman now?
31524	How could he be so good to me and then deceive me so?
31524	How did you ever get back?"
31524	How is your mother to- day?"
31524	How long will you care for her?"
31524	How much is it going to take to settle it?
31524	I did not notice him until he said slowly:"Baronet?"
31524	I know now it was only a boy''s patriotic foolishness, but who shall say it was ignoble in its influence?
31524	I s''pose you''ve heard the news?"
31524	I shall see you again-- to- morrow?"
31524	If by blood ties, why does the priest not own, or entirely disown him?
31524	If not, why does the priest protect him?
31524	Is Jean hidin''out round here again?
31524	Is Uncle Cam being imposed on?
31524	Is n''t it Longfellow who speaks of"the lovely stars, the forget- me- nots of the angels,"blossoming"in the infinite meadows of heaven"?
31524	Is n''t that true, Brother Dodd?"
31524	Is that fair to Marjie?"
31524	Is that the kind of a priest you are?"
31524	Is there any?"
31524	It was a lovely stroll though, was n''t it, Philip?"
31524	It was just Marjie''s imagination, was n''t it?"
31524	Le Claire, you are just back from the Osage Mission?"
31524	Let''em go?
31524	Mapleson, will you renounce your retainer''s fees in your interest in the orphaned?"
31524	Marjie, I''m goin''to kape these flowers till-- well, now, Marjie, shall I tell you whin?"
31524	Marjie, do you remember the time Jean Pahusca nearly got you?
31524	Marjory Whately, did anybody iver catch him in a lie?
31524	May I go to him?
31524	May I?
31524	Maybe the hole had something in it, one of Phil''s letters to Marjie, who knows?
31524	Mr. Baronet and I have recollections of two delightful years when he was in Harvard, have n''t we?"
31524	Mr. Dodd who married you to the Kiowa squaw?
31524	Now ai n''t that right?
31524	Now what had he to leave?
31524	Now, Lettie, what else?"
31524	Now, Marjie, why''d you run off?
31524	Now, why do I have to bear all of it?"
31524	O say, does that star- spangled banner yet wave O''er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
31524	O''mie?
31524	Of course, I would go to Topeka, but might she not come to Springvale?
31524	Oh, Phil, I''m so-- what?
31524	Oh, what can it all mean?
31524	Or did you think His Excellency, the Reverend Dodd was right, an''I''d cut for cover till the fuss was over?
31524	Phil, d''ye reckon this will iver be a dacent civilized country?
31524	Phil, whin does your padre and his Company start to subdue the rebillious South?"
31524	Presently she said,"May I come up to your office pretty soon?
31524	Satisfy me?
31524	See the name?"
31524	Settle this in court or out of it?"
31524	Shall I believe Lettie, or O''mie?"
31524	Shall I stay with her in the light, or go into the dark and strike the danger out of it?"
31524	Shall I tell you why?"
31524	Shall we clinch the bargain now, or do you want to think about it a little while?
31524	Shall we take this money at her father''s death?"
31524	She may be scared o''him, an''he knows it; but bedad, I''d not want to be the border ruffian that went prowlin''in there uninvited; would you?"
31524	So Marjie concluded mentally and then she asked innocently:"How can Amos Judson''s visit make this call here necessary?"
31524	Suddenly O''mie gave a start and in a voice low and even but intense he exclaimed:"For the Lord''s sake, wud ye look at that?
31524	Tell me the truth now, as you must answer for yourself sometime before the almighty and ever- living God, has Philip Baronet ever wronged you?"
31524	Tell me truly, have you done wrong?
31524	Tell me, do you care for her still?
31524	That''s fair, is n''t it?"
31524	That''s what you lawyers want, ai n''t it?"
31524	The Judge has asked two questions:''Did Patrick O''Meara ever give up his title to the land?''
31524	The first time I saw Marjie she asked,"Are you afraid of Indians?"
31524	The old tree is shapely, is n''t it?"
31524	Thee that thaplin''on the bank?
31524	Then it was that I heard O''mie''s low words:"Bedad, Phil, an''that''s how it is wid ye, is it?
31524	They had gone-- but whither?
31524	To the others it was a wasted bit of heroism, for if none of us had yet found the way to this retreat, why should we look for O''mie there?
31524	Was Le Claire a villain in holy guise?
31524	Was it inherited courage, or was it the spirit of power in that letter, Marjie''s message of love to me, that gave me grace there?
31524	Was it the will of Providence made O''mie appeal to them at the right moment?
31524	Was that a trick of Lettie''s to put Marjie out of my thought, I wondered, or did she really know my heart?
31524	Was the foolish girl attracted by this picturesque creature?
31524	We might as well get this matter between us settled here as over in the court- room, eh?"
31524	What a careless set av young idiots we were then?"
31524	What boy after that would not have braved any danger to explore the depths of this hiding- place?
31524	What business had she robbin''folks of letters, stealin''''em out, and givin''''em into wicked hands?
31524	What could I do but leave town?
31524	What could have happened to bring all this about?
31524	What did it ever grow for?"
31524	What did it mean?
31524	What did you see?
31524	What do I think?
31524	What do they know of the old Puritan blood, and the strength of the grip of a Massachusetts man?
31524	What does it mean, Phil?
31524	What else could it be?
31524	What else could that look on her face last night have meant?
31524	What else could this terrified horse with its flying harness ends mean?
31524	What else?"
31524	What else?"
31524	What had I done to be so lovingly and reverently welcomed home?
31524	What have I to fear?"
31524	What have you done with Marjie''s letter that you stole before it got to Phil?"
31524	What is that long, narrow, red light down by the creek?"
31524	What makes some folks so precious, I wonder?
31524	What word may I take to Phil for you?"
31524	What''ll he do wid the greatest common divisor an''the indicative mood an''the Sea of Azov, an''the Zambezi River, when he''s learned''em, anyhow?
31524	What''s been the matter?"
31524	What''s in gray hair and baldness, anyhow?
31524	What''s the least will satisfy you?"
31524	What''s the matter?"
31524	What''s the tariff due on this junk?"
31524	What''s yours?"
31524	When shall I call?"
31524	When shall I lave off?''
31524	Where did he come from?"
31524	Where have you been?"
31524	Where is it you are going, Phil?"
31524	Where were Custer, and Moore, and Forsyth, and Pliley, and Stillwell, and Morton, if such as I be called a hero?
31524	Where were you, Lettie, whin I was spyin''and what were you doin''at the time yoursilf?"
31524	Where''s Bud going?"
31524	Where''s O''mie?"
31524	Whin?
31524	Who are you, anyhow?
31524	Who begun it?
31524	Who do you reckon come to Springvale last month?"
31524	Who knows how soon we may need strong men in this town, men who can do the short- range work?
31524	Who says I''ve been talking about you?"
31524	Who''d want to have hair like a girl''s?
31524	Whose business was it?"
31524	Whose escort were you?"
31524	Why do n''t you go too, Phil?
31524	Why not tell me now what you know?"
31524	Why should he hesitate so now?
31524	Why should she be forever haunting my way, though?"
31524	Why should she go out there?"
31524	Why?
31524	Why?"
31524	Wid them Missouri raiders on the east and the Injuns in the southwest where''ll anybody down there be, begorra, betwixt two sich grindin''millstones?
31524	Will ye be av us, boys?
31524	Will ye stay wid us?"
31524	Will ye take''em?"
31524	Will you come up to Topeka?"
31524	Will you go over and see how Mary Gentry''s arm is, and come up to the courthouse in about half an hour?"
31524	Will you go too?"
31524	Will you go with us, Baronet?
31524	Will you help me?"
31524	Will you ride the pony?"
31524	Will you sign the papers now?"
31524	Wo n''t you?"
31524	Would I?
31524	Would this man lie now to please Judge Baronet?
31524	You are pretty tired, are n''t you?"
31524	You could like somebody else just as well, could n''t you, Phil?"
31524	You know that woman you and Bud found in Satanta''s tepee on the Washita?
31524	You said, in conclusion, that I was trackin''you, and you ask, am I goin''to quit it?
31524	You see it, do n''t you?
31524	You who have had a wife to love, a son to cherish?"
31524	You will let me feel when I am far away that you are shielding my little girl from evil, wo n''t you, Phil?"
31524	You''ll come of course?"
31524	You''re sure you know just which crevice of the rock it is?''
31524	and where was he going?"
31524	and''Is O''mie his heir, and therefore the rightful owner?''
31524	but I wish we could have been in that fight; do n''t you?"
31524	or tend to somethin''else besides your own business?
31524	or what''s to be gained by it?
31524	so that''s how it is wid ye, is it?
27505	''Does n''t she look like a drudge?'' 27505 A doctor, do n''t you ricolleck?
27505	A horse of iron might, too, but who''s got a critter in Grass River Valley right now that could make a trip like that? 27505 A sunflower letter like I used to send to Quippi?"
27505	About what?
27505	About what?
27505	Alice Leigh Shirley, are you crazy?
27505	All right, but what was the second reason for the one doorway? 27505 Am I wrong, mother?
27505	And duty?
27505	And his family?
27505	And if I do n''t go?
27505	And if papa''s defeated we stay home all winter, eh?
27505	And leave your papa and mamma?
27505	And that is--?
27505	And that niece, Tank''s girl, he was to protect for Alice Leigh?
27505	And what''s to hinder your getting the pretty girl you want if she understands and you are swift enough to cut off the enemy from a flank movement?
27505	And why do you do it? 27505 And you can not promise that any more will be coming soon?"
27505	And you paid how much?
27505	And you saw so many fine things?
27505	And you, Carey?
27505	And you, Thaine? 27505 Any calls while I was gone?"
27505	Any of these claims ever been entered?
27505	Are n''t you jealous of Todd?
27505	Are you afraid, like Jo Bennington? 27505 Are you so afraid of women?
27505	Are you still looking for a letter that will bring Prince Quippi back?
27505	Are you tired, Virgie?
27505	As for instance?
27505	Asher, if you had your choice this minute of all the things you might be, what would you choose to be?
27505	But how can I send?
27505	But it was so like-- what?
27505	But the little girl, what''s her name? 27505 But what do you call my life work, father?"
27505	But why must we fight at all, Thaine? 27505 But why must you go?
27505	But why not take the cool road? 27505 But you do n''t object, Father?"
27505	But, Bo Peep, why do you not believe we''ll have Horace here again?
27505	But, Jo, ca n''t a fellow have half a chance, anyhow? 27505 Ca n''t there be no more little children where there''s grasshoppers and Darley Champerses?"
27505	Ca n''t we go down to the grove and see the lilies this afternoon, too?
27505	Can you go?
27505	Can your men take those walls?
27505	Clear from China?
27505	Could a sectional war ever have begun out here on these broad prairies, where men need each other so?
27505	Could n''t we slip into the cabin?
27505	Could you never be satisfied on a farm?
27505	Did Leigh write anything else?
27505	Did n''t you hear?
27505	Did n''t you see? 27505 Did you ever give up to him?"
27505	Did you really miss me?
27505	Do n''t I look all right? 27505 Do n''t you care to come to our house any more?"
27505	Do n''t you know who''s on the other side of that partition?
27505	Do n''t you know whose birthday this is?
27505	Do n''t you love Miss Jane, Horace?
27505	Do you always tell it good- by?
27505	Do you know who Mrs. Aydelot is, Bo Peep?
27505	Do you mean to follow a military life?
27505	Do you mean to say you have n''t your soldier uniform yet?
27505	Do you remember the big sunflower we found to send to Prince Quippi, once?
27505	Do you remember your Prince Quippi off in China, and your love letters, with old Grass River for postal service? 27505 Do you suppose father will ever change?"
27505	Do you want me to?
27505	Do you want to go back to Ohio?
27505	Doctor Carey, what brought you to the Philippines?
27505	Does anybody else keep sheep around here?
27505	Does he come here often?
27505	Does it make any difference? 27505 Does n''t your mother know you are here?"
27505	Even with a son as old now as I was that night? 27505 Father, do you think a man who fights for his country is to be accounted below the man who stays at home and makes money?"
27505	For wy you stare so at dat door yet? 27505 Friend of yours the Emperor sent out to keep you company?"
27505	Had you heard of Miss Jane Aydelot''s demise? 27505 Has He forgotten the earth which is His also?"
27505	Has some influence here?
27505	Has war really been declared? 27505 Has your alfalfa struck root deep enough to begin to pull up that mortgage yet?"
27505	Have you made such a sale lately?
27505	Hello, Champers, how''s business?
27505	Horace Carey?
27505	How about Gaines?
27505	How about you?
27505	How can I answer it?
27505	How can I do a parent''s part by her? 27505 How can our boy know as well as his father does what is best for him?
27505	How could I have missed her if she started to meet me? 27505 How did this happen?"
27505	How did you decide?
27505	How did you know?
27505	How do you do?
27505	How do you know it was a salt can?
27505	How do you know that?
27505	How do you know?
27505	How is this, Leigh?
27505	How long have you known him, Carey?
27505	How many men in this settlement now?
27505	How many rounds have you left?
27505	How much do you like me?
27505	How much do you own now?
27505	How much land have you here, Jacobs?
27505	How much, pray?
27505	How should I know? 27505 How soon does this involuntary servitude end?"
27505	How soon will you be platting your Sunflower Ranch into town lots for the new town that I hear is to be started down your way?
27505	How was that?
27505	How would you like to keep a store in a place like this, Jacobs?
27505	How''d I round up the neighborhood? 27505 How''s your alfalfa doin''?"
27505	How?
27505	I mean, why call it Carey? 27505 I say, Shirley, did you ever know a man back East named Thomas Smith?"
27505	I wish you''d tell me what ails you?
27505	I wonder how I missed that mail?
27505	Is it another trail, or are you lost and beginning to see things?
27505	Is it late? 27505 Is it occupied?"
27505	Is n''t it for sale? 27505 Is n''t there pink, or creamy, or something softer in those lilies right by the bank?
27505	Is n''t this a wonderful night?
27505	Is that a river, really?
27505	Is that all? 27505 Is this beautiful to you, Virgie?"
27505	Jim''s sick, then?
27505	John Jacobs?
27505	Just getting in from town? 27505 Kin I please have this huh envelope?"
27505	Leigh, do n''t you ever feel jealous of Jo?
27505	Leigh, may I bring you home tomorrow night? 27505 Leigh, will you do two things for me?"
27505	Leigh, will you let me take you home? 27505 Leigh,"he said at last,"if you did n''t have Uncle Jim what would you do?"
27505	Lord, Doc, is that you?
27505	May I have the honor?
27505	May I see your stuff, or is it not for the profane eyes of a thresher of alfalfa to look upon?
27505	Miss Shirley, I ai n''t wantin''to meddle none, but I come down here to ask you if you know anything about your father?
27505	Mother, may I go? 27505 Mr. Champers, will you be sure to tell me all you know as soon as possible?
27505	No?
27505	Not even my mother? 27505 Not if you had a home there?"
27505	Not your style of a man then?
27505	Of Leigh? 27505 Oh, Dr. Carey, are you really going?"
27505	Oh, Jo, do you really want to be a city girl?
27505	Oh, Mrs. Aydelot, will you go? 27505 Oh, Thaine, will you want to leave us some day?"
27505	Oh, are you soft that way?
27505	Oh, did I? 27505 Ought I be?
27505	Ought I?
27505	Out of love for me alone?
27505	Please, kaint I go with you all? 27505 Say, Aydelot, do you remember the day I come down this valley and tried my danged best to get you to sell out for a song?
27505	Say, little Sketcher of Things, will you be missing me when I go to school next month? 27505 Say, would you mind tellin''me if you find out anything about your father''s whereabouts or anything?"
27505	See yonder, away, way off?
27505	See, Bo Peep, are n''t they pretty? 27505 Seriously, Aydelot, what''s Thaine to do?"
27505	Shall I help you too, or shall Rosie and I look after the refreshments?
27505	Shall I stay here and spoil your landscape or come around and shake hands?
27505	Shirley, where is Pryor tonight?
27505	Since when did you join the Young Men''s Christian Association?
27505	Somebody dying or a highwayman chasing after you for your pocketbook, that you drive so furiously?
27505	Suppose I was helpless and poor now, what could you do for me?
27505	Tell me, Bo Peep, why Dr. Carey should enter the army again and go to the Philippines?
27505	Thaine, what do you mean to do when you grow up?
27505	That pup pretty nearly killed you with kindness, did n''t he?
27505	The one that should bring him straight from China to me, if he really cared for me?
27505	The river ever get low here?
27505	Then why did n''t you get away sooner? 27505 Then why do n''t you go home now?"
27505	Then why do you go?
27505	Then, why did n''t you put another door in the kitchen end of the house?
27505	Todd, do you know why he thinks so much of Leigh Shirley?
27505	Um, who have I the honor of addressing now?
27505	Vell, and vot has Shirley ever done mit you that you so down on him?
27505	Virginia, did you ever do a washing before the war?
27505	Was it the old Jim Shirley quarter, the Cloverdale Ranch?
27505	We?
27505	Well, Thaine, how goes the game?
27505	Well, and what if Coburn is right?
27505	Well, but about this bank account?
27505	Well, how can I send?
27505	Well, lady landlord, how can I advise you? 27505 Well, what of all this?
27505	Well, why do n''t you tighten up on him? 27505 Well, why do you go, then?"
27505	Well, you can see most of those things that I saw that day out yonder, ca n''t you?
27505	Well, you do n''t want him to go, do you, Jo?
27505	Well, your whole wardrobe is over here; why not stay all night? 27505 Well?"
27505	Well?
27505	Well?
27505	Well?
27505	What ails the flock?
27505	What are you going to do? 27505 What are you saying, Thaine Aydelot?"
27505	What could possibly harm her? 27505 What did he want?"
27505	What did you call your wife?
27505	What did you say Gretchen Gimpke had in that tin can?
27505	What do you ask for it?
27505	What do you mean? 27505 What do you propose to do?"
27505	What do you say?
27505	What do you think of this?
27505	What do you want now?
27505	What is Thaine going to follow, Asher?
27505	What is the other thing?
27505	What is your name?
27505	What kept you fellows so long, anyhow?
27505	What made Gimpke leave?
27505	What made Jim go away from Cloverdale?
27505	What made me take this day? 27505 What of Tank''s life?"
27505	What of this?
27505	What possessed you to happen in, anyhow?
27505	What''d I say back there about women? 27505 What''s around there, Aydelot?"
27505	What''s before you now?
27505	What''s going on in the dining room?
27505	What''s made you think of him?
27505	What''s on it now?
27505	What''s the next case on docket, Leigh?
27505	What''s the row here?
27505	What''s the trouble here?
27505	What''s the trouble?
27505	What''s them Boxers wantin''? 27505 What''s your grievance against him now?"
27505	What?
27505	When your service is done is there anything to hold you from going straight to the Grass River Valley again?
27505	Where are the purple notches?
27505	Where are you going to?
27505	Where did you learn to do all these things for sick people?
27505	Where is Tank now?
27505	Where were you meanwhile?
27505	Where''s Jim? 27505 Where''s Jim?"
27505	Where''s Thaine?
27505	Where''s that broken plow of yours? 27505 Where''s that?
27505	Where?
27505	Who is Kansas?
27505	Who is it, boys?
27505	Who is this James Shirley whose mail he seems to look after?
27505	Who shall preside at the meeting?
27505	Who was it?
27505	Who were_ we_ in this planting?
27505	Who''s likely to drop in tonight, and what''s the program for the evening: charades, music, readings, dancing, cribbage, or political speeches?
27505	Who''s the decorating committee?
27505	Who''s the man with the dark mustache up there?
27505	Why did n''t you go to the census report of 1890, or Radway''s Ready Relief Almanac, or the Unabridged Dictionary?
27505	Why did you put the well so far away, Asher?
27505	Why do n''t you let the horses trot down this hill slope, Asher?
27505	Why do n''t you say something?
27505	Why do they call that place Carey''s Crossing?
27505	Why do you dodge me? 27505 Why do you go?
27505	Why do you think he will never come back? 27505 Why has n''t Mr. Aydelot been notified?"
27505	Why have n''t we done it before? 27505 Why have n''t you ever told us this before, Asher?"
27505	Why have n''t you told me?
27505	Why mine?
27505	Why not answer it and be rid of it?
27505	Why not help a bit yourself? 27505 Why not, Leigh?
27505	Why not?
27505	Why not?
27505	Why not?
27505	Why should the first generation here weight us all down here, too? 27505 Why should you, sure enough?"
27505	Why two?
27505	Why, Josephine, my queen, my queen, where are you hiding? 27505 Why, Pilot, what''s the news?"
27505	Why, do n''t you see the wind is from the north? 27505 Why, do you remember him?"
27505	Will he be back in time, though?
27505	Will the Arnolds and the Archibalds be up? 27505 Will you come over to our table?
27505	Will you? 27505 Wim me?"
27505	With a boy nineteen tonight, how can it be otherwise?
27505	Would you be?
27505	Would you never be satisfied in the country, Jo?
27505	Would you rather stay with Miss Jane?
27505	Yes, I will,Leigh replied,"but will you tell me what you know about him; you must know something?"
27505	Yes, but in the end who really won?
27505	Yes?
27505	Yes?
27505	Yes?
27505	You are in the real estate business here?
27505	You can face it all for me?
27505	You could?
27505	You do n''t seem to need him?
27505	You do use your property well, I am sure,Doctor Carey said, replying to the last words spoken between them,"and yet, you would give it up?"
27505	You have relatives there?
27505	You like the sunflowers, do n''t you?
27505	You mean the Jew foreclosed on the preacher, do n''t you?
27505	You mean the State Agricultural Report of Secretary Coburn? 27505 You take no risk at all in leaving, so you''ll go first, I suppose?"
27505	You''d just like to get away from it, now, would n''t you?
27505	You''d like to live in Topeka where the big Kaw river is, and the big trees along its banks, and so much green grass, would n''t you, Thaine?
27505	You''ll be over tonight, wo n''t you? 27505 A sudden flush deepened on his ruddy cheeks and he continued:Of course you are going to the picnic?
27505	Am I too late?"
27505	An''did n''t he stay night time an''day time right by the blessed boy, till he''s pullin''him out of dangeh of death''s wing?
27505	An''did n''t he tak''care of Misteh Thaine?
27505	An''here''s-- what?"
27505	And a plum pudding all brown and ready?"
27505	And are you sure you ai n''t been misrepresenting things to me a little as agent for Tank Shirley?
27505	And had he given grounds for such obligation?
27505	And hear him order the best horse?
27505	And it is blowing everything south now?
27505	And that quarter across the river that used to be all sand, you own that now, Aydelot, do n''t you?
27505	And then you ask me what I have to say, what I am going to do, and, with fine gestures, what I see?"
27505	And what was it that made me look over all those papers in my vault box last night?
27505	And why mistrust a man who calls himself innocent''Thomas Smith?''
27505	Any news from home?"
27505	Anybody here know Mr. James Shirley?"
27505	Are n''t you glad you do n''t just have to stay in the country?"
27505	Are the Aydelots big enough to bury old hates?"
27505	Are they a band of prize ring fellers?"
27505	Are you afraid to trust me?"
27505	Are you just getting home?
27505	Are you right sure you ai n''t Tank Shirley himself?
27505	Are you too sleepy to look at them?
27505	As the two men sat enjoying the hour Dr. Carey suddenly asked:"After this hospital service, what next?"
27505	Aydelot?
27505	Aydelot?"
27505	Bo Peep pleaded, and, clutching it as a sacred treasure, he said:"Mis''Virginia, did n''t I done tellen you Misteh Thaine would come back?"
27505	But Leigh, am I an unnecessary evil?
27505	But Smith, since you are only an agent and nobody knows it but us, why keep yourself so secret?
27505	But do you dare?
27505	But do you know what her intentions were?"
27505	But knowing what you do, who of you wants to face Darley Champers?"
27505	But say, why not tell me now what you are about, so I can be looking up references and former judicial decisions handed down in similar cases?"
27505	But to be fair, now, why do you want to keep yourself in hiding, and who''s the fellow you want to kill?"
27505	But what next?
27505	But where''s Pryor Gaines in this rollcall?
27505	But why forecast the might- have- been?

27505	Champers?"
27505	Champers?"
27505	Come, help at the killing, wo n''t you?"
27505	Could I have left it when I took that gallop?"
27505	Could n''t he have come here?
27505	Could n''t we come some time to the Purple Notches and build a home for just our summer days, because we have seen these headlands all our lives?"

27505	I guess you ai n''t forgot it, neither?"
27505	I mean, you say he does?"
27505	I meant to do a washing this morning, but how could any garment stay on the line out there and not be whipped to shreds?"
27505	Is it because you know I can throw you?
27505	Is it bolt or weld?
27505	Is it possible your frontier is further westward still?
27505	Is n''t it wonderful how Thaine ever lived through that dreadful bullet wound and fever?"
27505	Is n''t it wonderful to be a real pioneer?
27505	Is n''t that a sheep?"
27505	Is n''t that enough about Jo?"
27505	Is n''t that the promise?"
27505	Is n''t there any way to punish Spain except by sending more Americans to be killed by her fuses and her guns?"

27505	Leigh gave a quick glance and answered:"Too heavy everywhere?
27505	Leigh, who had been pleased with all of them, turned to her guardian, saying gravely:"Uncle Jim, can I go to school wif Thaine?"
27505	Leigh?
27505	Let a single man offer you a word of advice, will you?"
27505	Make a minute of it when you get it, wo n''t you?"
27505	May I ask a favor of you?"
27505	May I ask how you propose to put in the fall after wheat harvest?"
27505	May I tell you that there is still one more lesson to learn?"
27505	Not yet, do we, Juno, even if it rains trouble instead of rain?
27505	Notice how everybody give him right of way to get his mail first?
27505	Now, who?"
27505	Oh, Leigh, Leigh, may I tell you once more how dear you are to me?
27505	Oh, Leigh, will you?"
27505	Or do you want to shove prosperity away when it comes right to your door?"
27505	Or is it because I got full here once and beat you up a bit over in Wyker''s place?"
27505	Or why do n''t you do more of it?"
27505	Or will your art and your ranch take all your thoughts?"
27505	Remember what a fight we had with fire a year ago?"
27505	Remember, when we met down by the bend here, one winter day?"
27505	Say, Mis''Virginia, did-- did he done mention my name anywhar in that letteh?"
27505	Shall I show you on to the Crossing?"
27505	Shall we go over and settle it when we finish the Filipino fuss?"
27505	Strange what a woman will do for love, is n''t it?
27505	Tell me, mother, what does all this fit me for?
27505	The forum teacher?
27505	The learned recluse?
27505	The place has n''t changed much, has it?"
27505	The poet- singer?
27505	The soldier, voyager, Or ruler?
27505	Then Champers said with a frown:"What do you want now?
27505	Think of the daughter of one of those old Virginia homes up to a trick like that?"
27505	This Smith is the same man who came to old Carey''s Crossing years ago, of course?"
27505	Unless what?"
27505	WINNING THE WILDERNESS In all the story of the world of man, Who blazed the way to greater, better things?

27505	What do you say?"
27505	What do you suppose put him against the Boxers?"
27505	What does distance count, against that?"
27505	What else?"
27505	What has become of the old prairie?"
27505	What have you been doing for him?"
27505	What is it, and who depends on it?
27505	What is there here on these Kansas prairies to hold me here and make me want to bring you here, too?
27505	What is there to be afraid of, anyhow?"
27505	What kind of an answer-- information or just my opinion?"
27505	What made him come out here anyhow?"
27505	What made you run away?"
27505	What made you so bitter?"
27505	What makes you do so many things just for me?
27505	What now?"
27505	What shall I do?"
27505	What should make me sight danger in a man I never saw before, and who will probably go out on the stage tomorrow morning?
27505	What the devil do you want with me?
27505	What was it?"
27505	What we care?
27505	What''s that now?"
27505	What''s the matter with Jim, Pilot?
27505	What''s the matter with him?"
27505	What''s the use in a man as big as I am, with no lung power, keeping at it?"
27505	What''s the value of that, d''you reckon?
27505	What''s to prevent a metropolis risin''right here where a decade and a half ago there was n''t nothing but bare prairie?"
27505	What''s yours?"
27505	When Asher had asked,"What do you call my life work, Father?"
27505	When Pryor is gone, may I ask you sometimes what to do?
27505	Where are Pryor and Leigh?
27505	Where have you been so long?
27505	Where is your man today?
27505	Where''d you run onto it?
27505	Where''s Champers?"
27505	Where''s Uncle Jim?"
27505	Where''s the harm in letting Shirley lay eyes on you?
27505	Where''s your uniform?"
27505	Who do you s''pose will take his place?
27505	Who ever heard of the United States being a naval power?
27505	Who got his excuse?"
27505	Who is it?"
27505	Who shall say that the hope and belief with which his few drugs were ministered carried not equal power with them toward health and wholeness?
27505	Who stopped the long migration of wild men, And set the noble task of building human homes?
27505	Who was it?"
27505	Who will volunteer?
27505	Who would n''t miss you?"
27505	Who''d a''thought it back in the seventies when Jim Shirley an''Asher Aydelot squatted here?
27505	Who''s your partner, Jo?"
27505	Why are n''t you satisfied to make the other boys all envy you?"
27505	Why did Horace go so far away?"
27505	Why do n''t you get married or take a trip to India, Doctor?
27505	Why do n''t you get your plowing done?"
27505	Why do n''t you revert to the soil, too, Bennington?"
27505	Why do the other fellows out of their goods, as we Jews are always accused of doing, if it leaves me no customer to buy?
27505	Why do you want to hear in the dark what you wo n''t listen to in the daylight?"
27505	Why go on the heels of a snowstorm?
27505	Why him?
27505	Why let a scoundrel like that run free?"
27505	Why not come out into the open?
27505	Why not here?
27505	Why not keep Jim''s letter a day or two?
27505	Why not the whole thing?"
27505	Why should he be taken?
27505	Why should prosperity not come to this valley as well?
27505	Why you take oop precious time peekin''trough der crack in der kitchen door?
27505	Why?
27505	Why?"
27505	Will I do for an answer, Leighlie?
27505	Will it be given to you to see bigger things?"
27505	Will you let me be your lover for one minute up here on the Purple Notches, where the whole world lies around us and nobody knows our secret?
27505	Will you promise again to send me the same message you sent to Prince Quippi when you want me to come back?"
27505	Will you send me a letter down the old Kaw River when I go to the Kansas University this fall?"
27505	Will you tell me how you expect to support a Cloverdale girl when you marry one?"

27505	Wo n''t you keep telling me your plans, and if I can help you, will you let me do it?"
27505	Would the Aydelots feel the same if they knew it?"
27505	Would you like me to show you where to go to dig, so''s you can be sure your plan with Tank Shirley worked and you did n''t drown, after all?
27505	Would you listen to that?"
27505	Yet, where can she be now?"
27505	You always were an artist, but when did you learn all the technique?
27505	You and me both?
